Come on... Cover that area.
Close in.
Push it...push it, guys
Hey! Move it.
-Adithya sir is here -Everybody, move back
Push them.
Situation is bad, sir We need back up
I've informed RAF Where is Prasad?
He is in the Shoukath Ali street. It's really bad down there.
-Take care of things here. -Done, sir.
Keep an eye over there.
Sir, I'll manage here.
Please cover that colony, sir. It's terrible over there.
-Are you sure?-Yes sir
Sir... Sir... They are coming to kill us.
Hurry up, sir. They are coming to kill us.
[bottles shatters]
You there!

Where is DCP Adithya?
What is he up to?
[club music]
Thank you.
-Yes, Mansoor? -Congrats, sir
Congrats, sir
-Having fun? -Vodka going neat, sir
-Thank you! -Nice party sir!
Thank you.
Congratulations
Thank you, sir
Even before my promotion he hates me, sir.
More so after I got this medal.
He'll keep taking a dig at me.
Bad enough he hates me.
To make things worse,
Because I'm fond of you he just can't stand the sight of you.
He's a good officer, no doubt
To catch a scumbag he must become one So he thinks he's the best scumbag in town
Same theory holds good for a duffer!
Sathyaji, we were talking about you just now, in a bad way.
-Bad mouthing me? -Just I'm kidding.
Smart aleck you are, sir!
With your blessings he has won the State Award.
Next he will head the Task Force.
Then you'll ensure he gets the Central Gallantry Award.
My blessings will fetch nothing but gas!
You need guts!
But with support from someone like you,
Instead of focusing on being clean shaven
I can shape my career too
Like Adithya
Only fools follow rules blindly, sir.
Just to change our department's outlook now and then, people like me...
...like to break the rules
Given a chance even we can break the rules.
Let this young man have fun. We'll join our age group.
Let us go.
[indistinct laughter]
Excuse me.
-DCP Adithya? -Yeah
Apoorva. Apoorva Ramanujan.
Big fan.
Okay.
By the way, congratulations for the medal
Thank you.
What do you do?
Planning to start something with you.
Excuse me?
2 years ago I completed my Masters in Psychology.
Writing is my passion.
My wish is to write a crime novel
With a hero like you.
Why a hero 'like' me?
Why can't I be your hero?
Really?
You don't have any problem?
Without moving a muscle if someone fancies me as a hero
Why should I mind?
And that too someone like you...
Like me?
[sighs]
Is it because drinks I had or are you really this beautiful?
I don't know
But...
You're hot!
Thank you.
Not because, you aren't drunk.
We do have mirrors at home.
[chuckles]
I know... I mean
I'm sure...
But a beautiful and erudite girl like you
Why this fascination for crime novels and grisly murders?
Why not?
You think girls are only about pink pillows,
Teddy bears and love symbols?
I am...
...not the type to ask my man, 'when will you marry me, dear?'
'When do you want me to kill you?' Are you that type?
Exactly!
Somehow I can't eat unless I see blood once a day.
You are a psycho! You know that?
I got it.
What?
My novel's opening line.
My heroine is Ananya.
Hero DCP Akshay tells her
You are a psycho, do you know that?
After that they both dance.
-Then that girl... -Shall we?
-Huh? -Dance
Don't worry, think of all this as part of your research
"In a daze, rock and roll"
"On the floor"
"Again and again, encore we trip and fall some more"
"By flaunting too much ado"
"Don't let this go"
"Make your mistakes merrily Raring to go readily"
"Like this thirst evaporating"
"Dazzle like silver clouds captivating"
"Make these moments melt steadily"
"Turn your attention towards me"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me Now, now...now, now...now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me Now, now...now, now...now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me now"
"Has this lovely loss of gravity liberated our body?"
"Is darkness hiding from our view"
"kindling fantasy with desires anew?"
"Like a smile endearing on the brink of our lips lingering"
"Entwine me, my darling"
"In a dizzy daze as we dance overwhelming me with your glance"
"Come on...come on, come on...come on"
"Closer now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me Now, now...now, now...now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me Now, now...now, now...now"
"Wanna touch you, touch you Now, now...now, now...now"
"Baby, kiss me...kiss me now"
Bye
See you.
Hey, want to come? Kasturi is not at home
-Go...go -Bye
[whistling]
[whistles]
Aadhi...?
Aadhi
Aadhi...!
Kirthu...what?
Your phone is ringing non-stop. I think it's Mansoor.
-What's the time? -5:30 am.
Tell me, Mansoor
You know Inspector Prasad, sir?
He is murdered, sir
In his own house.
[overlap of voices]
-Sir -What's this Mansoor...
Entire Bengaluru police force seems to be here.
DCP Sathya and ACP Raghava of Crime Branch are also inside.
But I feel you should take a look at this.
[overlap of voices]
-Hi Sir -Hmm...
Come...
Had a blast last night, right? Go in and see for yourself.
You'll soon be sober!
Go... Go!
DCP Adithya I want only you.
[sighs rhythmically]
Though the knife used is small it is rather sharp.
He has cut the brachial and femoral arteries.
And slowly slit the victim's neck
Basically he has drained all the blood from the body.
He knew what has to be done to ensure the victim dies at once.
Knew the time it takes to do so.
And knew the right time too.
A perfectly planned murder.
Bro, Task Force.
Investigation is not your job.
It is ours.
After that sensational love note left for me, I have to respond, sir.
Any witness?
Half an hour ago, his wife unexpectedly found him like this.
No other witness.
Clues team will be here in 5 minutes.
We have circled the house.
As of now, we have found some shoe marks.
The entire area has been blocked.
We are coombing too.
-Mansoor?-Sir?
-Was Prasad at our party last night? -No, sir.
If Prasad's wife goes out of town, he gets free incoming and outgoing.
Common talk, sir.
[weeping]
Meanwhile Mr Sathya is investigating if Mrs Prasad is having any fling.
-Children? -None, sir.
Though Prasad had accounts all over the place, no deposits, sir.
Zero balance.
-Banking issues. -[chuckles]
What?
Nothing, sir.
Incense fume is good for health, sir. But won't agree with you, come.
[cameras click]Good morning.
The murder of the Lingarajapura Inspector Vedaprasad...
...is taken very seriously by our department.
Challenging our department, that too, Deputy Commissioner of Police Adithya
So this case will be rightfully handled by Task Force DCP Adithya.
Shankar?
Mr Adithya.
Yeah.
I believe the killer has left a note for you on Prasad's body?
[chuckles]
Yeah...
Specifically to give the media some cud to chew!
[reporters laugh]
Psychos opt for this modus operandi generally to be in the limelight.
I want to tell this murderer something specific.
He has committed 2 grave blunders.
First mistake,
Of course, committing this murder.
Second mistake,
To challenge me.
Very soon he'll be punished for both his blunders.
That's all and thank you.
Sir, the names and their mobile numbers I collected so far.
Sir
We are contacting all numbers on Prasad's call log.
Wondering if you know this number...
I saw her in the party last night...
-Exactly what I wanted to say. -Shh!
[doorbell dings]
Hi
Hi.
Looks like you're in the midst of a murder! Shall I come back later?
Oh! No...no...no
Please come.
Mom...
Mr Adithya, DCP
Task Force
[snips]
Oh! Your hero?
Mom...
I meant your novel's hero?
Please mom.
This is my mom, Sreelatha.
She's a Biology Professor
-Greetings, aunty. -Hi.
-Dad, this is... -I heard you.
Dad is also...
I'm sorry.
I'm so happy to meet you.
I too am excited to meet your family.
Please sit.
-Coffee? -Yeah, sure.
I'll go outside and chop all the heads...
He means the plants.
Our garden is filled with unwanted plants.
Dad, please carry on.
I am sorry.
Okay.
My dad is a Tamilian.
He hasn't got a good grip of Kannada yet.
Yeah... Looks like he has enough grip to chop only heads!
That doll and knife...
Oh! The stuffing of the doll is worn out...
I wanted to re-stuff it.
With all those weapons I thought you were a psycho family.
That's why we became your fans!
By the way,
I got to know from the News you have criminal fans too
Someone killed Inspector Prasad and said he wants you it seems.
Not sure about the gender as yet!
Yet to figure it out.
Which means?
Nothing specific.
Do I get a tour of your house?
Sure...yeah.
Actually downstairs is boring. Come up to my room.
This is my room.
-Appu... -Yes, mom.
Coffee.
Bad manners!
Isn't it bad manners to rummage through others' stuff?
Just curious, that's all.
-Coffee -Thank you
Please sit.
You sit.
What's all this stuff?
Research.
Didn't I tell you I am writing a crime novel?
Different kinds of murders,
Psycho mentalities.
Was Prasad a psycho?
Huh?
Inspector Prasad.
How do you know Prasad who died last night?
Your number was on Prasad's call log.
Oh!
Does that mean you are suspecting me?
How exciting!
Apoorva, come on, be serious. This is serious, okay?
I wanted to meet you.
A friend of mine gave me Prasad's number and asked me to contact him.
So I met Prasad
2 weeks ago.
Very interesting guy!
Even for your medal party I came as his guest.
That's how I met you.
[mobile ringing]
-Hello...-Hi Adithya
Yeah, who is this?
Have you already forgotten me?
I gave you a gift only this morning.
Watched your Press meet too.
You claimed I had made some mistakes.
First was killing Prasad.
Second,
Provoking you.
It seemed so cinematic!
[message notification tone]
Ravi, track sir's phone, urgent
Will you really nab me?
-Any doubts?-You bet!
Because you challenged me but came to chat with your girlfriend.
By the way, your girlfriend looks beautiful.
I saw her in the party last night
-Adithya...-You are made for each other.
Hey Adi... Wait! Slow down!
-What happened? -I don't know
Dad, give him way
Looking for me all over the place?
I am not there now. I saw you going into her house.
By the way you have another gift waiting for you at Shivaji Nagar Murgi Market
Come and collect his body.
I will share the location, bye.
[phone rings]
Mansoor.
Call traced, sir.
Starting now, right now.
Hey Adithya.
Don't go out of town without letting me know.
Shall I come with you? Part of my research?
What?
I'll see you later.
[market clamour]
[hens cluck]
What a weird location, sir!
Sir, there's a note on your back.
[phone rings]
Hello.
Hello...hello...hello...
Mike testing 1 2 3
One two three
I was just checking your speed.
I was right behind you but you missed me.
Don't try to trace me.
All these are stolen phones
Before your men trace my number,
And before this phone owner blocks his sim card,
Let me gladly tell you about the 3rd mistake I'm planning to commit.
From today, I intend killing 4 people.
But including Inspector Prasad it will be a round figure
Five!
I'll be leaving a trail of clues for you.
If you can stop me from committing these murders
I swear I'll accept you are a super cop
At the same time if you are unable to stop me...
Arrange a Press meet and toss your gallantry medal along with
your other two-bit awards into the dust bin in front of everyone
And accept you are not a super cop or a six pack cop
But just a pathetic, clueless cop.
And then you must resign.
Are you playing games?
Exactly!
Whatever I do should be entertaining
That's my policy!
If I play with celebrities like you,
It is a different sensation altogether.
That's why I chose you.
Okay, tell me,
Deal or no deal?
When you are so enthusiastic why should I let you down?
So let the fun begin.
Mansoor, I want a total crackdown.
I want this bastard.
[overlap of voices]
[groans]
[music mutes voice]
[groans in pain]
Hey Sayyed, I am missing you man!
Sir, I have been working as an informer for Mr Prasad.
Mr Prasad was slightly tense for the past 6 months.
I don't know why, sir
2 weeks ago Mr Prasad met Mallikarjun in a bar
Mallikarjun who?
The builder, sir Real estate
-Chinni Krishna Constructions -Yes, he's the one
Oh, this man?
I was sitting 2 tables away, sir.
They didn't notice me.
I was overhearing their conversation, sir.
"You and I have to be careful, Mallik," Prasad sir cautioned him.
Whom were they afraid of? Any names?
No, sir.
I believe he has gone to Mumbai, sir.
He's returning tonight to inaugurate his new resort.
He'll come directly to the resort.
[train honking]
Don't you dare to throw a temper tantrum!
Warn him not to show off his insolence here.
How dare he say that?I'll kill him
He thinks he can bump me off?
Tell him I'll chop him to pieces and bury each part in different parts of the city.
Talk to you later.
Bye.
Who is riling you up like this?
My brother, sir.
My father bought a land in Kanakpura before he died for my brother and me.
My brother claims he is the sole owner now.
He has seized my share and is threatening me!
He has to be pickled to pieces.
Shall I do the honors?
Chopping him brow to toe.
Shall I help you out?
I'm a professional!
I'll slice him like a knife through a slab of butter.
This is my routine.
Specify your rate and identify him.
To confirm the deed is done,
I can send you any part of his body, your choice!
Sit down!
Just a while ago you were dying to chop someone to pieces?
I said it casually, sir.
-You'll kill people casually? -Just a common phrase, sir
It's so common for you?
-Are you a professional too? -I just went with the flow.
You kill people for no reason?
-Are you a psycho? -Sir...
I am an LIC agent, sir.
I'm a very normal person.
-Am I not normal then? -I don't know, sir.
-So? -So...
-So you? -I...
Joke, sir.
Look how violent all of us have become.
Even though we talk about killing,
But we would scared to even sit beside a real killer!
-Don't you agree? -Yes, sir.
[ceremonial orchestra]
-Greetings, sir. -Greetings.
Flight got delayed.
It is already 10 o'clock.
Have the guests arrived?
-All okay? -All perfect, sir.
Guests are coming in now. By 11 party will be in full swing.
-If you can freshen up... -Okay.
-I'll be back in 10 or 15 minutes. -Okay, sir.
Somehow manage until then
Mr Mallikarjun
-Please come. -I know...I know
I'm not invited, I'm gatecrashing.
No, you are family
Not bad.
I assumed you would be busy with the case and that's why I didn't invite you.
I meant Prasad...
I need to discuss it for a minute.
Sure, absolutely.
Just got back from Mumbai.
I'll freshen up and join you.
You please relax inside.
Hey, escort sir inside.
Okay sir.
He looks fresh. Why refresh again?
-Keep an eye on Mallik -Done
-Why is he here? -No idea, sir
Okay, I'll take care.
-Is everything ready for tonight? -Yes, sir.
Told her to come after midnight.
After the function you can relax and...
I've even arranged a special bed!
-Take a look after you freshen up. -Hey...
Good!
[song playing]
Hey...!
What a surprise!
How come...you are here?
You were the one who said I can't go anywhere without your permission.
Is that why you are stalking me?
Psycho, right? That's why.
Did you come by yourself?
Fat hopes!
No, I came with my parents.
He is my dad's friend.
He has bought a new villa here.
He invited us over.
What about you?
This resort owner is a good friend of mine.
He invited me.
Mallikarjun?
Isn't he a shady character?
Why?
Don't know. Just thought so.
I have a hunch
Something special may happen tonight.
Really?
Yes
Crap!
As if you can nab me!
-Hello, sir -How are you?
Good... Good.
-Sorry. -Hello, ma'am.
What happened to Inspector Prasad's murder case?
-Media has cover... -Dad, not now
It's going on, sir.
[singing song]
Awesome set up!
I'LL TAKE ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR
[sighs]
-1 minute. -Okay, sir.
Sir, he texted me, he will take another half hour it seems.
Some business call.
-Sir. -It may take a little longer.
Any movement there?
No movement, sir. I'm right here.
A few minutes ago he peeped through the curtain, that's all.
-Okay. Stay alert -Okay, sir.
You've set it up so well no one can even hear your scream.
How romantic!
I sent a message to your manager.
He even responded with an 'okay'.
No one will disturb us now
Your phone is cool!
Is this your idea?
Looks like you are an ardent fan of V Ravichandran movies!
Watch films only as a form of entertainment,
Don't take it too seriously
Haven't you heard intellectuals tell you?
But rogues like you just won't pay heed.
He wants to give us relief from our daily grind with this kind of stuff.
How dare you imitate it so publicly in your private life?
[sighs]
When he watches these visuals on TV tomorrow, how will he feel?
Don't you think he'll want to kill men like you?
Tell me
Grave blunder!
How should the hero in Ravichandran's film be?
Even if he isn't on par with the heroine,
At least...
Look how shabby you are!
I'll prepare you.
Why has he switched off his phone?
Maybe that glam-doll is already here.
Got high blood pressure?
Got a good flow!
Are you on medication?
Prazopress
Arkamin
2 in the morning and 2 tablets at night.
I have a better medicine for you.
Don't move
[slits]
[hiccuping]
Didn't I ask you not to move?
Good night.
[singing song]
Mallik sir, Mallik sir
-What happened? -Someone has murdered Mallik sir.
This side, sir.
In this mango grove.
Sir, it's a mess.
Super shock for the over confident super cop.
Another murder follows within 36 hours.
Victim is real estate icon Mallikarjun.
Psycho killer is playing a cat & mouse game with DCP Adithya.
[cameras click]
Sir
Got something, sir
Bird which isn't a bird. Cut its tail.
Look for the sun amidst darkness.
King's horse is beckoning you.
What could this be?
Bird which isn't a bird.
Is he giving us a clue?
[door bell dings]
Apoorva, right?
-Yeah, hi -Hey.
Aadhi told me about you. Are you okay?
Must have been a shock.
I am okay, yeah.
My father, Venkat Rao.
Dad, this is Apoorva.
Aadhi's friend.
She looks good. When is the wedding?
Dad!
Just curious if she can cook or is she the Swiggy type like you?
Watch your TV.
Sorry, my dad often displays his 'casual side'
It's okay.
-Hi -Hi
Take her in.
-I'll get some coffee? -Yeah.
I like the girl.
Okay even if she is Swiggy type. We can manage.
Yeah, come.
You've gone bonkers!
-You okay? -It's crazy.
The media, Twitter, FB
I want to ask you something.
What?
Sorry...sorry
-Hey, coffee. -Thank you.
I'm off to the clinic. I'll meet you later.
Yeah, sure.
-Bye. -Bye.
What...
-What was that? -Nice girl!
So?
Don't know why she is getting excited.
Yeah, all except the one who should actually get excited!
Sorry!
You wanted to ask me something?
Yeah
Regarding Mallikarjun
Yesterday in the party, you said Mallikarjun is a shady fellow.
And that something special might happen.
Why?
I went to meet Prasad in a coffee shop regarding the research for my novel.
When I went there, Prasad was talking to Mallik about somebody.
That was the first time I saw Mallik.
Later when I asked Prasad about it
He said some thug had threatened to kill Mallik and him.
"All this is common," he said.
I asked him his name.
He said, "Vicky."
So when Prasad was murdered
Somehow I felt Mallik may be the next target.
But I never dreamt he would be killed so soon.
Exactly!
V for Vicky.
V for?
The Post-it which the killer left on the victim's body for me.
Has the symbol V cut at the corner.
-Really? -See for yourself.
Wow! Typical signature of a classic psychopath.
-V? -1 second.
-Mansoor?-Sir
Did Prasad or Mallikarjun know anyone by the name Vicky?
-Find out if there was any bad blood-Vicky, sir?
-V could be Vicky.-Done, sir.
So
If Vicky is found, will I get any reward or prize money?
[scoffs]
Even if Vicky is the murderer he may not stop with these 2 murders.
-Why? -Aren't you a psychology graduate?
-Topper -From today you're my consultant.
Consultant?
Yeah
My Criminal Psychology consultant?
Criminal psychology consultant.
Does it mean I'm no longer a suspect?
Of course you are a suspect!
This offer is to observe you closely
What will be my salary?
Based on your performance
I'll decide
How about perks, bonus etc?
Only 'he' can decide that!
-Who is the 'he'? -The bird which isn't a bird.
Who is the 'bird'?
Clue left by the killer for me.
Really?
Cut the tail of the bird which is not a bird.
Weird!
This guy...
...hates me
Actually
This is very common.
These psycho guys find it enticing to challenge police officers like you.
Plus they get cheap thrills feeling they are one up on you.
To know whether he is really a psycho or not,
I need to crack this clue.
So prove to me you're cleverer than the killer.
If you crack this clue in 1 day...
If I do?
I'll even give you a bonus like this.
With bonuses like this in advance,
I'll work even more efficiently, sir.
Aadhi
Coming, father-in-law!
Hey...
I give you 24 hours to crack it.
This is my challenge.
Again no fingerprints or footprints, sir.
Texture of this cloth is like the napkin used for wrapping cutlery in hotels.
Blood and saliva from the victim...
...have smudged the lettering.
I need time to decipher it.
But if you observe closely there is something faintly visible.
Yeah, looks like some image.
If this is a hotel napkin then this could be their logo.
If we trace that we can nab the killer.
Clean it up. And what else?
Truly high end killer, sir.
You are a high-end specialist! Nab him.
If you challenge him like this he will finish in an hour.
I need the report by tonight. Mansoor, be in touch.
-Yes -Impossible, sir
Is that so?
Sir...!
Impossible, bro.
"Nothing is impossible Just pay attention,"
Sadhguru's words, not mine. Start working right away.
He's a spiritual person, sir. He will deliver promptly.
I checked Mallik's diary and found an entry made last week.
Didn't you inquire about him? I mean, about Vicky?
Crap, Vicky!
I found these numbers in Mallik's call list.
His wife called from this number just now and we've traced it.
He's in Sai Sri lodge in Guttahalli now.
-Super, let's go. -Okay, sir.
[knocks]
Laundry, sir.
Repeat.
Laundry, sir.
Who are you?
-How dare you challenge me? -What did I do, sir?
Sir, let go of me What did I do, sir?
I am innocent, sir.
-I didn't do anything, sir. -Spill the beans, man.
Sir, don't. Let go of me.
I don't know anything, sir
Sure.
-What's happening? -Police raid, sir
Some murderer it seems
Why have you caught me, sir?
Move it, man.
Sir, listen to me
Sir, hear me out. Please listen to me.
If a murderer is in the next room today,
Tomorrow he may very well be right beside us, isn't it?
Very true, sir.
Check out.
Sir, Prasad and Mallikarjun are hard core thugs.
Mallikarjun grabbed my land, sir.
Prasad threatened to kill me if I sued him.
That's when I decided I should butcher them to bits.
But I'm not so gutsy, sir.
That's why I used to frequent GD bar daily.
I swear on my mother.
Trust me, sir. I didn't kill them.
Did anyone at anytime mention the names Prasad or Mallikarjun to you?
Why would someone ask about them?
Someone met me in that bar about a month ago, I remember now.
Sat next to me and spoke for a long time, sir.
Plagued me with questions about Prasad and Mallik.
Describe him to me?
I don't remember his face clearly
-What was there? -It was too dark, sir.
-True, sir-I was just checking your speed.
I was right behind you and you missed me.
Nah! Don't try to trace my call.
All these are stolen phones.
Yes this is...
This is his voice, sir.
We need the total CCTV footage of the GD bar In Gandhi Nagar
ASAP.
[horn blaring]
[horror movie playing on smart phone]
Favorite film, sir.
Name is 'I Saw The Devil'.
A lady is chopped into bits and pieces.
Wow! Superb movie, sir.
How many ever times I watch!
I still find it amazing, sir.
-You like violence in movies? -Yeah.
I've always had a leaning towards violence from my childhood.
Really?
-Why? -Sir
All of us want to either beat up someone or kill someone.
It isn't possible, right?
You satisfy your killer instincts by watching such films
I am Balasubramaniam
Retired bank employee.
I am Ramesh, contract killer.
[laughs]
Contract...
Killer!
-Meaning? -Simple, sir.
Paid killer.
I am in great demand in Bombay. I visit the city ever so often.
Exactly, the same way.
If you move, I'll kill you.
Sir, watching such films is a casual hobby of mine.
It is alright to pass time watching but is it wrong if I kill for a living?
-Not like that -True, no?
What's wrong if I kill?
-Means? -Means
It is your wish, sir.
Is it okay if I stab you in your belly and gag you?
-Sir! -Is it okay?
-No, sir. -You said it is my wish.
I meant it is your call, sir.
Did I scare you?
-Scared the hell out of you? -What?
I was just joking, sir.
-Joking? -Of course.
I am a killer
But I am into pesticide business.
I kill cockroaches, termites and rats.
Want to watch?
No need.
[sighs]
You scared the hell out of me, sir
[laughs]
You know there is a criminal lurking inside each of us.
For sure there's one in you. No doubt about that.
Sir, can you believe a criminal resides in me too?
In you?
Difficult, sir.
You are so gullible you will donate blood even to mosquitoes!
Sir, my ambition in life is to commit one murder.
-Really? -Yes, sir.
-Who is the target? -My daughter-in-law.
A real wicked witch!
My son fell in love and married her.
But she convinced him to move with her to Mumbai.
She works in some hotel. Wears bright lipstick and short skirts.
She comes across as a heroine.
And my poor son is totally naive.
If you have any tasteless or odorless poison in your pesticides.
I can poison her and get rid of her forever.
So then it is true?
True, sir.
Your daughter-in-law told me.
This plan of yours to kill her has been brewing for a long time.
She hired me to preempt your plan by killing you.
I verified it by playing a prank on you
Whether she is telling the truth or not.
Now I know she is isn't lying.
You bloody scoundrel!
Before you reach Mumbai I'll pickle you to pieces 30 times!
Did I scare you again?
[villainous laughter]
"I scared you again"
"I scared you again."
[wicked laughter]
Who are you actually, sir?
Please don't kill me
It is a long journey. I thought I would have some fun.
A friendly passenger like you is an inspiration!
Sir, in my entire life, I have never inspired anyone so violently!
-Now can I watch this film? -Go ahead, sir.
You must have missed a lot of murders!
[horror movie playing on smart phone]
Brutal!
MUMBAI
[phone ringing]
Hello
I thought of calling you
How is it going?
Maybe the next murder will not be in Bengaluru.
Yeah, I have a hunch it could happen in another town.
Oh, really?
Address of his next crime scene is in the form of a riddle.
But I feel it is in some sort of code language.
Really?
What is the address?
To know that, you have to come to another address.
Where?
104, Sagar society, Bank colony.
My house.
What?
Today is my birthday.
Hey! Many happy returns of the day.
Thank you, actually I hate the cake cutting etc.
But if you come home tonight we can have my mom's special fish curry.
You know the pressures of this case.
Hey, I know
I know
But if you come home, 2 heads will be better than 1 to solve the riddle.
Okay
"Waiting for you, time stops forever. But still I wait with wide-eyed fervor"
"My heart doesn't listen even if I assure. That my love is on his way for sure"
"Waiting for your arrival, with expectancy without blinking my eyes even once"
"My thoughts swirl around you only. Whatever work I may be immersed in, daily"
"My thoughts refuse to settle somehow unless they set eyes on you now"
"When my eager imagination is kindled by teasing anticipation"
"Coming... I am coming for sure"
"Will I take no for an answer?"
"Even if my eyes are oblivious to your invitation obvious"
"I come to you like a rising tide. From which no one can hide"
"Waiting for you, time stops forever. But still I wait with wide-eyed fervor"
"My heart won't listen come what may though I insist my hero is on his way"
"Thoughts of you hastened me to come running to you breathlessly"
"Like the waves, every step of the way was like high tide in love's sway"
"Hope this distance melts away. Hours become minutes without delay"
"To quench my desire with relish with the elixir of life I cherish"
"I am dressed to kill. Your desires to fulfill"
"Come close to me. I'll surrender to you willingly"
"Your deal signed with love"
"Should solve my troubles now"
"I beseech this night divine to cast a spell and make you mine"
"Wave its wand magically. So it's just you and me"
"Coming... I am coming for sure"
"Will I take no for an answer?"
"Even if my eyes are oblivious to your invitation obvious"
"I come to you like a rising tide From which none can hide"
"Waiting for you, time stops forever. But still I wait with wide-eyed fervor"
"My heart doesn't listen even if I assure That my love is on his way for sure"
[waves rustle]
[laughs]
So in that room she and I
I was this solid bachelor like Vijay Sethupathi in '96'.
And Srilu was a hungry tigress waiting to pounce on her prey.
Hey! What are you saying?
I was just like a sitting duck you know.
That fateful night
Result of our mistake was
Apoorva
1 month before our wedding
-Will you stop it and finish your dinner? -Sitting duck...
Sitting duck
Crap!
-Aadhi? - Did he just say 'crap'?
Did I blurt out anything wrong?
-Aadi, what's going on? -Yes... Yes...
-What happened? -Nothing.
Just give me 1 second.
Thinking this present generation is cool about premarital sex.
I shared personal stuff
-I am sorry. -No, uncle.
You know Bombay duck?
Bombay duck?
-Kind of fish, right? -Can't get it here, son.
-You don't get it... -Excuse me...
A bird that isn't a bird Bombay duck is a fish, right?
'Cut its tail' so if you remove 'duck' from 'Bombay duck'
-Bombay -'Look for the sun amidst darkness'
Tell me a place in Bombay that means 'night'?
Darkness? Night means...
Andheri!
Where does the sun rise?
Simple East
Oh crap!
-Andheri East -Exactly!
'The king's horse is beckoning you'
I need your laptop
Famous kings of Maharashtra
Of course Shivaji
Then 'king's horse' Shivaji's horse Vishwas...
Vishwas
[phone ringing]
Sir...
Sekhar
I'm sending you some images.
Check if any part matches with the pattern on the cloth we found.
-Quick. -Okay, sir.
Yeah
-Sir? -Yes, Mansoor.
We have to take the next flight to Mumbai immediately.
Book the next flight to Mumbai.
Contact the police station at Andheri East.
Look for any hotel or lodge by the name Vishwas
Okay, sir.
If so, raid it at once
Killer maybe there still
In the meantime I will talk to the DCP in Andheri
Done, sir.
-Okay? -Yes, sir
You were right. His clue indicated the venue.
So the next murder maybe in Hotel Vishwas in Mumbai.
I'm going to get him this time for sure and you...
Mwah! You're brilliant. Bye.
[phone ringing]
Hello Shekar, yeah?
I got one matching image, sir.
Matches the hotel logo but can't find the hotel in Google.
Email the image to me at once.
Okay, sir.
ANDHERI POLICE STATION Yes, sir.
Sure, sir
Immediately, sir
-Kaushik -Yes, sir?
DCP sir called me just now.
Is there a hotel in Andheri by name Vishwas?
All set for Mumbai, sir.
CCTV footage at Gandhi Nagar GD bar has been deleted it seems.
-I've told them to retrieve it. -We'll nab him directly.
I'm sure we will get him, sir.
[rats squeaking]
[airplane whizzing]
[tyres screech]
Yes, Inspector Rajath. We've reached Mumbai.
Great! We'll see you soon
Go to Mahakali Caves.
Hi, I'm KK.
Start counting
If the total falls short you won't be able to leave Mumbai.
You know Kannada, is it?
You didn't tell me who gave you my number.
How does it matter?
We've finished our business.
Is this what you do?
This is just a side business.
My main business is different.
What is it?
I catch snakes.
[laughs]
It's the truth.
Are these guns for that purpose?
In the olden days snakes could be killed with stout sticks.
Now it isn't so.
I have no other option
[laughs]
"My mind is swinging in rhapsody. So is the sway of my body"
"My heart in many a piece is no longer at peace"
"Who is the flute player? Who is the snake charmer?"
[humming]
"My mind is swinging in rhapsody So is the sway of my body"
"My heart in many a piece is no longer at peace"
[groans]
[electricity buzzes] [glass shatters]
[bottle shatters]
[gunshots]
[groans]
[coin clinking]
[laboured breathing]
[groans in pain]
"My mind is swinging in rhapsody. So is the sway of my body"
"Who is the flute player? Who is the snake charmer?"
Chin up.
[groans in pain]
-Is this Vishwas hotel? -Yes, sir.
-What is the case? -We'll know very soon.
Bastard is here!
[gunshots] Sir, watch out!
Nab him.
[gunshots]
Sir, he is jumping out. [gunshots]
Look, he has jumped out.
Nab him.
Search thoroughly.
Surround the entire building. [gunshot]
[gunshots]
[gunshots] [car alarm blipping]
[tyres screech]
Want to go to hell or what?
[train honks]
[door shuts]
[utensil clatters]
[TV playing]
Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you are, I'll come after you!
And when I do, bear in mind. I'll personally perform your last rites.
[phone ringing]
-Hello?-Nabbed him, sir?
The bastard escaped.
Sir
I guess you have to come back, sir.
What happened?
We will ensure our golden boy drinks the most expensive wine next time.
Clues team and forensics are on the way, sir.
This bugger is nuts, sir.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
I almost got caught!
I must stop giving you clues form now on.
You aren't the weak candidate I assumed you to be.
I realized it as soon as I saw you in Sai Sri lodge.
What?
I mean that Vicky.
I was in the next room.
I even tried to talk to you.
You pushed me away.
Your days are numbered
[gasps]
How then?
I must speed up my pace.
Fine, I'll do.
I'll send you a bonus clue.
You will love it
Take a look.
Hello?
Take a look.
[message notification tone]
What's this message, sir?
-His next victim is a kid? -No...no
Do you know who this kid is?
Who is he, sir?
Me.
This is my childhood snap.
[message notification tone]
Have you forgotten me?
He is my schoolmate.
GOVERNMENT HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL
That's me, in the 1st row, sir I remember the rest of them.
I think that's Vishnu at the back Do you know anything about him?
I'm sorry.
There's no way I'll recognize anyone because I took over recently.
Any teacher still here from my batch?
He is Maddoor Vishnu.
D Section.
The best sportsman!
Favorite of all in sports and studies.
Don't you remember?
I vaguely remember.
-Where is he now? -No idea.
Didn't he leave all of a sudden half way through 10th grade?
His family was steeped in debts and some personal problems.
I heard they were forced to leave this town.
When I accidentally met him in Thumkur he said he was studying in another school
And had joined the army when he passed out of school.
I haven't met him till date.
I know a Rathnakumar in Thumkur who enlisted in the army along with him
Why don't you meet him?
Excuse me, is this Rathnakumar's residence?
-Yes, sir. -Can I please meet him?
Please have it.
Er...I'm good.
Though Vishnu and I were in the same unit,
we didn't share a great rapport at first.
3 years ago we were part of an Operation in Kupwara.
We heard some terrorists had occupied a house by force
And holding the family hostage.
[gunfire]
Have you watched a lot of Om Prakash's action films?
That's reel life.
This is real life.
[gunfire]
Alpha tiger. Got an idea, sir
-Order -Okay...okay
-Fire and move -Rathna
[gunfire]
[gunshots]
[slits]
[gunfire]
[groans]
[gunfire]
[slits]
[gunfire]
[groans]
DSP sir, looks like he's a minor.
Inspect his documentation thoroughly.
He must be 14 or 15.
Fine, take him.
Such vengefulness at that age.
The terrorists we kill are just virus from outside, Rathna.
But this is...
...internal wound.
Internal bleeding.
There is no point killing the virus if we don't heal that wound.
Vishnu lost his parents when he was a 15 year old.
Maybe that's why,
His fervent wish was to have a family of his own.
Once during our vacation we were headed to Bengaluru.
We halted on the way at Mysore to visit a friend.
We wanted to buy a gift for the friend's family.
We walked into Lepakshi Emporium.
Good morning, sir.
Do you have any wood-carved miniature 'pagodas'?
Of course, sir.
Saheba...?
Attend to these customers
Show them miniature wood-carved 'pagodas'.
Please follow me.
What name did he call her by?
Sounded like 'Saheba'
Why did my ears hear it as 'Hairabba'?
Come along now.
Here...this is one model.
Take a look, sir.
It's made in Chennapatna
And this is another model.
Made in Chennapatna?
Are you both in the army?
How did you know?
Right.
Are you on vacation?
Yes.
Too busy guarding our nation,
we ignored the importance of beautiful women
Ahem...
I mean...we wanted visit beautiful destinations So...
That's why we are doing a nation wide tour now.
Nice!
What are the places in your itinerary?
We wasted our time drifting aimlessly till now.
Now I need not.
-I am ready to settle here. -Really?
I have discovered the uniqueness of our country today.
Hey...slow down!
Courtesy our Govt's handicrafts
Ahem!
You have Bidri style metal handicraft?
Yes, after you see these...
Show us all that you have.
We have all the time in the world.
Elephants, horses, palm trees, idols of Ganesha, Shiva, boys collecting toddy...
Dolls of women nodding their pretty heads, the whole works
First take a look at these 'pagodas'
Where are you going?
Please be here with us to show us everything.
What about the Bidri items?
You have to get that?
Please do so
But come back soon.
Vishnu, what's up with you?
Is she mad?
How can she be so unfairly insanely beautiful?
Wait, she'll come.
I can't wait any longer.
Hey...hey!
Can I share?
What?
The weight!
Do you know what Lepakshi means?
Translates as 'get up, bird'
Someone explained this to me.
In Ramayana, Lepakshi is the place Jatayu the divine vulture was wounded.
Lord Rama told Jatayu, "Get up, bird."
Some dodo has given you a dumb explanation.
Lepakshi means
The girl who has her eyes lined with kohl that is used to draw divine works of art.
You are a standing example of the emporium's name matching the staff!
You seem to possess an overdose of general knowledge!
Just generally.
But today, it is going a little overboard!
"Somehow at this moment in time my mind reels"
"in a dizzy spin sublime"
"My youth dances in dazed wonder"
"To your magic spell I surrender"
"Don't tickle & tease me, princess And bewitch me senseless"
"More the reason for your charm to imprison me in your arm"
"My smart sweetheart so precious"
"My darling Night-blooming Cereus"
"Swathed in your hug so snug"
"I want to listen to a soothing song"
"At this moment in time my mind reels"
"in a dizzy spin divine"
"My youth swirls in surprised wonder"
"To your magic spell I surrender"
"Step by step walk beside me as my blessing"
"and boon for eternity"
"I give my life and all of myself to you King of my heart and soul,"
"in Toto"
"A floral boat in the wind afloat"
"Gently row To and fro"
"Won't you come near me, my beau?"
"Won't you let me pamper you?"
"Somehow at this moment in time my mind reels"
"in a dizzy spin sublime"
"My youth dances in dazed wonder"
"To your magic spell I surrender"
"My mind whispers secrets this instant"
HERE?
"Like the ebb & flow of waves constant"
"From this day I will be your beloved wife blessed"
"with the benediction of a new life"
"I have preserved my life in you"
"A passionate symbol of my love so true"
CHECK UNDER THE PILLOW
"I have enfolded your dreams within me"
OPEN THE CUPBOARD
"Let them come true swinging gently"
"Somehow at this moment in time my heart reels"
"in a dizzy spin sublime"
"My youth waltzes in awestruck wonder"
"To your magic spell I surrender"
"Don't tickle & tease me, princess And bewitch me senseless"
"More the reason for your charm to imprison me in your arm"
"My smart sweetheart so precious"
"My darling Night-blooming Queen"
"Swathed in your hug so snug"
"I want to listen to a soothing song"
[Hindi] What is this, Vishnu?
I've already granted you special leave twice so far.
Do you think you can take off once a month till your wife delivers?
Nayak, Vishnu and his wife have no relatives to lend a hand, sir.
You have 10 more men in your battalion.
Their respective wives manage even if they are alone, right?
I'm sure you can do the same.
-Sir, just this once -No...no...no
Not possible. This is army protocol
The same rules apply to all.
You are well aware of this.
Still I have to waste time explaining it to you?
Make alternative arrangement.
Take him now
Nayak, Vishnu. Break the line.
It's really tough here, Saheba.
My leave was denied.
I'll try once again.
Okay.
Take care of yourself.
The very next day after his request was rejected,
our unit had to respond to an emergency call.
'The terrorists were hiding in a village in Kupwara
In a dilapidated building was the information we got.
Risky territory.
Limited time.
But we went ahead.
I have never seen Vishnu so dejected.
It seemed like a bad omen to me.
My fear turned into the worst nightmare.
[explosion]
That was the last time I saw Vishnu.
It took almost a week for me to recover fully.
It took a long time for our rescue team to reach you.
You are lucky.
4 of our men are missing.
Bodies were swept away in the river.
Maybe even Vishnu is...
We have another bad news.
Vishnu's wife passed away.
Saheba is dead?
How?
5 days after our attack
Someone called and informed
In the communal riots in Bengaluru
She died
Last year
In the 'Muharram' procession.
They took place in Bengaluru isn't it?
Moharam?
Damn!
-Mansoor?-Hello, sir.
Check our files on Shivaji Nagar riots for the name 'Saheba' before tomorrow morning
-Immediately!-Okay, sir
-What? -Army...soldier
Kashmir
-Yes, sir -Do you have any evidence?
Photos he left behind, his call log,
his weird riddles
He was your classmate, All these don't count as evidence.
Do you have any evidence that ascertains he is the killer without an iota of doubt?
Sir, he has a motive and sufficient reason to kill.
Because his wife died in a communal riot, eh?
So he is against the police force and you in particular, is it?
The photo he sent you could have been posted in Facebook by your classmates.
Using it, he may very well be making you run helter-skelter.
Just to buy time.
He uses stolen mobiles to call you Doesn't leave any finger prints.
Only God can give us his DNA!
In fact he leaves no clues.
He is treating us like worthless idiots.
We have nothing!
DGP sir is pointing fingers at us for our inefficiency.
DCP Sathya is having a field day deriding both of us.
Like a TV serial, daily he takes great pleasure in feeding the media.
My blood boils at all this!
Sir, trust me.
I won't let you down.
Do something and shut them up!
[bottles shatter]
We've seen the riot's footage repeatedly, like you told us, sir.
This is almost the 10th time.
But haven't found Saheba anywhere.
-Not even a clue. -Sir
Got Saheba's details.
The man who saw her last is a mechanic called Rashid, sir.
Rashid?
Police.
I wasn't that close to Saheba or Vishnu, I just knew them.
Saheba's parents and my brother died in the Gokul bomb blast.
That's how I met Saheba then.
She had no family of her own. She grew up in an orphanage.
She studied there.
She used to coach our children and take very good care of them.
If we went out we would leave our children with her,
She had a way with them They meant the world to her.
The last time I met her was during Muharram procession.
She greeted me with her usual cheer.
How are you, my dear?
Peace be upon you! By God's grace I'm good.
May God be with you.
Khuda Hafiz.
That was the last time I saw her, sir.
Same day the communal riots started.
We stayed put at home. Didn't dare to step out.
We assumed Saheba would have found shelter at some friend's place, right?
Did she tell you where she was going?
She wanted to buy a chain for Vishnu who was coming
How much is this?
She was going to KC Jewellers in the city, sir.
After that I never met her, sir.
Muharram
September 21st
Last year
Day of the communal riots
Our shop was completely ravaged.
Took us 3 months to renovate it.
Horrible experience, sir.
Her name is Saheba.
Did you see her in your shop on the day of the riots?
We have so many clients stepping in daily, sir.
I'm usually in the shop.
No chance, sir.
I want that day's CCTV footage.
We delete our footage every month, sir.
To save space.
We will try to retrieve it.
-Mansoor will be in touch with you. -Okay, sir
-Thank you.
Do I get any discount if I buy something here?
Why discount, sir? It is on the house!
Then my wedding purchase is from here, standing robbery!
You are sharp as a tack!
You will see more soon. Razor sharp!
-There you go, sir -We won't get that footage anyway.
Keep him under surveillance. Phones, e-mails etc.
-Tell our boys to follow him. -Done sir.
But something weird about him, sir.
He's over acting like a new comedian who has got a break.
They must have paid him a hefty amount!
-Update me every hour -Done, sir.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello?
Hello, hero
Vishnu...
I know you are Vishnu. Listen to me
I am aware your wife Saheba died in the communal riots
I'll Identify those responsible and I will ensure they are punished
My dear brother!
You sound like those lawyers spewing unwanted dialogs in old melodramas
Annoys me 101%
Brush your overconfidence aside
It was a friendly piece of advice If you don't pay heed-
You're in danger
Good lord! Really?
I'm petrified!
Stop acting
This is not the army where you shoot people on suspicion
We need evidence
As if you punish criminals when you have evidence
Do you know why your police force needs witnesses and evidence?
To turn the case upside down
To frame the gullible and save the powerful
Hello, brother
Mistakes are committed in the army too
Correct
In every system mistakes happen
But what we do is important, my boy
If there's a mistake in my system I won't keep quiet, even if I die
Tell me how you're tackling the mistakes in your system
Tell me
What do you do?
Lining your pocket with all the bribes
Hey...!
Don't you dare raise your voice!
You are the pet dog of your bosses and the Home Minister
If you claim you're here to protect justice and righteousness
Then I'm not your fan to whistle and applaud
So cut the crap!
If you have guts
...try stopping me
Listen to me...
Vishnu...Vishnu...?
Vishnu
Rivalry between Sadik and Chandan caused the Muharram riots, as per our records
Chandan killed Sadik
I arrested Chandan
So...technically case closed
But the thing is
Behind those riots, there seems to be a bigger conspiracy
And it happened without my knowledge
There is a connection between that conspiracy and Saheba's death
Also
Vishnu firmly believes I played a part in that conspiracy
He thinks I am corrupt
And I hate that
If I lose this, I've lost all the ideals I believed in when I took up this job
I have to win this challenge
Adithya
Only you will win
I know that
[indistinct conversation]
[Mansoor howls]
"I'll be there for you always You'll be fine in all ways"
This jeweller offers security too along with quality
Naughty fellow!
[message notification tone]
[phone ringing]
-What is her name? -Ramani sir
-She seems very familiar -Really, sir?
-Anyway get the full details about her -Okay, sir
What is her address?
Hey Santo-osh...!
-Where are you off to? -Stop...stop...!
Take the load...
Otherwise the check-post will be barricaded
-Where is that 'cook' of conspiracy? -Tell her the doctor is here!
What is the matter?
Hi there, Chef Sis!
Are you done with cooking?
I hope you remember my boss
Do you feel like you saw him somewhere?
#1 year of Shivaji Nagar. It's trending!
Suresh the notorious, come!
Was it an orphanage?
It is more like a hostel
Lodged girls 10 to 25 years of age
I started 5 years ago
Called Kalpataru Women's Home
Most of them were orphans
Some of them were studying in schools and colleges
Some did odd jobs here and there
Every now and then some rich clients would come
Seeking young girls
I used to send a few
Some of the girls accepted submissively
Some resisted the idea
But I would force them to comply
Inspector Prasad helped with our 'business' willingly
How did you know Prasad?
We met in some function
I was going through rough weather then
He helped me a lot
He asked me to live with him
Took real good care of me
But one day one of the girls ran away
Her name was Ayesha
She didn't run away empty-handed
[girl screaming]
That night her best friend Kalyani...
...was raped by 3 men
[Kalyani screaming]
Ayesha captured everything on video, sir
She escaped with that incriminating piece of evidencen from hostel
Prasad later told me
Ayesha met Sadik Hassan
Notorious rowdy in Shivaji Nagar
I believe he was known for helping orphans and the needy
Apparently some political bigwigs and police officials...
Hated him it seems, sir
Ayesha took that video to him
Sadik gave protection to Ayesha
And promised to help her, sir
But what happened was totally unexpected
The offender in that video was Home Minister's son Ranjith
After watching it Sadik changed his mind
He got the rare chance to wring the golden goose's neck!
And then
Sadik got in touch with the Home minister
In the suburbs of Bengaluru
Govt project worth 500 billion in the outskirts of the city
He demanded a 25% share in that project, sir
He threatened to upload the video in social media
And all the TV channels if his demand wasn't met
Ranjith instructed his father to bargain with Sadik
But actually he had hatched a different plan to kill Sadik
Knowing it is risky to kill Sadik one on one before the elections
...they planned a riot on Muharram and to kill Sadik in that mayhem
A local gang and another from out of town
...were paid to participate [group chanting]
Local gang was led by Chandan Kumar
The outstation gang was-
It was led by KK A Mumbai gangster
Everything fell into place as per their plan, sir
[glass breaking] [commotion]
Prasad saw Ayesha by chance
[cop siren wailing]
[glass shatters]
You came there at the same time
Prasad noted your arrival
He called me, asked me to divert you towards Chandan
Sir... Sir... They are coming to kill us, sir
'Hurry up, sir They are coming to kill us'
-You handle this -Come soon
Later...
They...got hold of Ayesha
And killed her ruthlessly
[sobbing]
In the riot... that day
Did you see this woman anywhere?
Her name is Saheba
No, sir
Who else was with Ranjith in that video recorded by Ayesha?
Builder Mallikarjun
JC Jewellers chairman
Sharath Chandra
JC Jewellers
Our KC Jewellers...
...is sister company of JC Jewellers, sir
Prasad
Mallik
KK
If Vishnu has already killed 3 people, remaining are...
Sharath and Ranjith
Only these 2 can share details about Saheba
Vishnu's clue of 'Golden boy' means his next target has to be Sharath
We must reach Sharath immediately
Got his contact details?
So what did you say your name was?
Catherine [footsteps approaching]
Right...right
Nice, I like the name
Hey! 5 minutes
Bloody cops!
It's okay This is normal
He is still standing there
Look
Hey! Didn't I say '5 minutes'?
Get lost!
Bloody idiot!
Stupid scumbag!
-Hey Sharath, easy -I'll just be back
Hey! Are you deaf or what?
Do you know whom you are talking to?
Don't you understand?
I'm talking to you...
[Sharath groaning]
Your phone
Leave it there and go
Sharath's phone is switched off I tried his manager's
Sharath was meeting some friend But he doesn't know who
Pick up the manager Let's go to Sharath's house
Who are you?
What do you want?
Money?
I'll give you how much ever you need.
Tell me
How much do you want?
Why do I need money?
I need an answer
For my question
Do you have the answer?
Answer?
Me?
I don't understand
So Mr Sharath
Let me present to you
Your first and last question
Valyrian, the popular Roman emperor
The cruel Spanish knight Valdivia who lived in the 2nd century
The recent Game of Thrones
You watch it, right?
Good
There is a character in that series
Viserys Targaryen
Do you know the only common factor between these three?
Your time
Unfortunately started long back!
Are you Mr Sharath Chandra's wife?
Yes
Can we come in?
-Huh...you? -Police
[electronic beeping]
What is this?
What are you doing?
Home minister's son Ranjith and Sharath have been friends since childhood
But I have no clue about the women's hostel you mentioned
I don't understand what you are saying
Last item...
Please listen to me
What is all this for?
'Please'
[gasps]
You are making me angry
Now for the final
Bumper prize!
Understood?
I am so excited!
So the answer is
[Sharath wailing]
The 3 characters I had mentioned
They were forced to drink molten gold and killed!
[Sharath wailing]
Now you are about to join that list of rare celebrities
Congratulations!
[muffled screams]
[phone vibrating]
Ravi, tell me
TS 10 EJ 0001 Is that your husband's car?
Yes, sir
[siren wailing]
[indistinct chatter]
Sir...sir Mr Adithya...sir
'Only the whale remains'
Sir...Mr Adithya
Waiting for your comment. Don't walk away like that
Get lost!
Sir, in the Muharram riots
Vishnu's wife, Saheba died
Why and how
We don't know
Vishnu has already killed 4 men who were responsible for the riots
The latest clue left by the murderer
Only the whale remains
Going by the killer's surmise, Ranjith is...
...the final big target
The description fits him
Ranjith is celebrating his birthday on a private island
So the assassin is clearly saying he intends hunting the whale in the sea
He is definitely planning to kill Ranjith.
Ranjith has private mercenaries employed to protect him
Trust me, sir
They cannot stop Vishnu
Vishnu is an expert in anti-terrorist operations, sir
He is too good for them
The only witness we have to prove the conspiracy behind the riots is...
Ranjith!
If someone wipes him out because of personal enmity
The entire conspiracy will get buried
Truth will never be exposed!
If, as you fear
...he has already left the country
What are our options?
A special team under my command
I would like to conduct an Under-cover operation in Thailand
Please, sir
Grant me permission
I don't think it's a good idea, sir
With the testimony from Chandan, Ramani and Suresh, we can arrest Ranjith
If you do that, Ranjith won't come to India
Somehow he will escape
Sir, under-cover operation is our only option
Sir, that seems-
I agree with Adithya
I think it's a good idea
After all it's a matter of our department's reputation
Let us see how much of a hero he is!
I want us to outnumber and outsmart him
Kill him like a bloody mongrel
Thank you, sir!

[gun shots] [girls screaming]
Go...go...go
You go this side Keep moving
Ranjith, this way
Go, man, go! I said go!
[panting]
[groans]
[roars]
[groans in pain]
How do we finish this?
No one should say it did not match up to their expectations
Good morning
The man who challenged me
...has killed 5 people
I couldn't do anything
As a mark of my 5 failures
I...
Along with the medal for gallantry
I surrender all the medals conferred on me
I accept that I am unfit to be a police officer
I... accept the defeat
I am also submitting my resignation
Bye
Thank you
Aadhi...?
News, come...come
The sensational serial killer case solved
The murder of Ranjith, son of Home minister Swami
Along with 4 other victims last month by Vamsi has shaken the entire State
Vamsi was killed in a police encounter last night in Bengaluru.
The encouter operation was led by DCP Sathya
This is the same murderer who had challenged DCP Adithya
After Mr Adithya's failure and subsequent resignation
A new team was formed and with the aid of new techniques
We nabbed the culprit Vamsi and killed him in an Encounter
The police hemmed in, based on a tip-off, the lodge where the culprit was hiding
When the murderer got wind of this he opened fire at the police officers
[phone ringing]
Revolver, diary, sim cards were retrieved from the crime scene by the cops
Hello
Have you foolishly believed this News on TV?
Vishnu?
They have even changed my name
Vamsi
The police cleverly picked on a pickpocketer to save their dignity
They are claiming it's me
Where are you?
Wherever you saw me the last time
Same place
Shall we meet just once?
When you shifted the victim's head
Didn't you read the note pinned onto his head?
I'll call you as soon as I land
Decide the meeting place.
Thank you
-Cappuccino? -Tea
Can I get a cup of tea?
One Num Chai!
You were scrawny in school
I got stronger with your encouragement.
I'll ask you something
Will you answer me?
That day on the island...
Did you expect so many opponents?
If I should answer this man to man
I was lucky
Your team's inefficiency worked in my favor
[laughing]
[sighing]
Just rewind a little bit
Let's just run through the highlights with my commentary
When you started your attack
I started eliminating Ranjith's men
But that wasn't the main problem
The truth is
Before landing in Thailand, through Mansoor
I found out the devious plan of our Home minister
The additional team given to me wasn't intended to assist me
But to kill both of us
That's why I took it upon myself
I eliminated them one by one
And cleared the route for you
Gradually I isolated Ranjith
After you killed him
To ward off any suspicion from the team
I acted as if I was frustrated
You can't believe me, right?
I want to believe you.
But I am unable to
What's in it for you?
Medals, prestige and popularity
They don't mean a thing
5 vile creatures are dead
So many innocent women have been saved from that terrible fate
That's enough for me
I am happy
But I am still in the dark about something
How did Saheba die in that riot?
How are these 5 thugs responsible for her death?
This is the only missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle for me
After the truck blast in Kashmir...
I was swept by the river onto the banks of a village
Caught in the jaws of death
Some kind villagers carried me to safety
Treated me and saved my life
I urged them not to tell anyone about my presence
I was in that village for 10 days
I was presumed dead by my unit anyway
I thought of spending some time with Saheba
And then report back to duty
The villagers who rescued me got me a phone
I tried to call Saheba from that mobile
But though I tried repeatedly her phone was switched off
Generally Saheba used to e-mail me
Thinking of checking it once
I logged into my account
Only then I knew what had happened
Before Inspector Prasad died
He confessed everything to me
On the day of the riots
Saheba was in the washroom of KC Jewellers
She couldn't escape [glass breaking]
[Saheba groaning]
Scared for her safety she rushed back into the washroom and locked herself in
At that same time Ayesha also came over there
Prasad saw Ayesha enter the jewelry store
He signalled to KK
Vishnu
By the time you get this video
I am not sure if I'd be alive or dead...
This girl showed me a video
I am sending it to you
My heart broke to pieces watching this, Vishnu
Names of those you see in this video
Home minister Swami's son Ranjith
Real estate dealer Mallikarjun
JC Jewellers chairman Sharath Chandra
They committed this heinous crime
Inspector Prasad
And so many senior police officers are hand in glove in this, Vishnu
This riot is planned specifically to kill Sadik Hassan
To destroy the evidence in his possession
To kill this little girl who is also an evidence Vishnu.
I will try my best to save this girl
But in case...
But in case I fail to...
You should not spare them
Don't spare them, Vishnu
Promise me you won't spare them at all
Please
[door banging]
I love you
Bye!
I love you!
[water flushing]
[Ayesha gasps]
[Ayesha screams]
She threw the mobile into the commode, get it
Let go of us
Please...please!
Please!
Leave her...
Please!
[slits]
[Ayesha groaning]
In case they destroy her phone
She e-mailed me
She's so smart
Isn't she?
You're right
She's smart!
I decided my next plan the moment I watched that video
But then I found out
You were lauded as a hero for saving 30 lives in that riot
The fact they wanted to confer a medal on you for gallantry
...made my blood boil!
I thought you were part in the same corrupt pod!
I concluded your heroism was also part of the plan, a mere show
That's why for 9 long months
I plotted a foolproof plan to nail those bastards
I chose the day you got your medal to start my mission, by killing Prasad
I declared war on you
I wanted to make a fool out of you!
I knew your police top-dogs would spin a fake encounter to save face
And claim to have killed me I guessed this right in the beginning
I thought if I released the video then
It would be a real punch
But you surprised me
Here
No, Adithya
This is for you
Show this to the world
Dignity & integrity of men like you should not be sacrificed to pander to such beasts
You have won!
No, Vishnu
You made me win!
This is the...
...best medal I've got
Thank you
Next time...
Let's work together.
Is there a next time?
You never know!
Good luck!
Good morning, everyone
Thank you, one and all, for coming here at such short notice
Mr Shankar
This is my gift to you
Play it
The link between last year's riots in Shivaji Nagar
And the series of murders that shook our State last month
You are about to watch
After viewing it, to discern what is just and unjust
...is entirely up to you!
-Here... -Thank you.
Surprise!
Wow!
-When? -Yesterday
I hid it to surprise you
That's wonderful!
[sighs]
Isn't it funny?
You wanted to write a story about me, but wrote a different one.
Isn't this your story too?
Did you send a copy to Vishnu?
