Recognise me?

l'll take care of you

l'll inform the church tomorrow.

And take you to the hospital

No, Father

They'll be looking for me

in every hospital

- They'll be watching the doctors too

- Who will?

My business rivals

From Goa

l've committed many sins

ln my rage, l destroyed myself.

Not the world

The bullet is lodged inside

You've given me the chance...

...to redeem myself. l'll stay here

till l get better

But not telling the church...

My life's at stake

No more sins for me

A small favour

Only you can help

Yes?

l know a woman

Her name is Celina

She lives in George Town

in Thoothukudi

l'll follow the path of Jesus

if she is by my side

Let Father have a cup

of coffee in peace

You like coffee with jaggery?

How do you know Bergmans?

Some people were after him

We sheltered him in this place

We shared the food we had

Never asked his name

He came like a dream and

left with a promise

Do you know what he does?

Even if he is a murderer,

l'd stand by him

Know what you're saying?

Yes, Father

The men l know flash

their money

Treating me like a whore

He was the only man

who said he'd marry me

For that one promise

l'd die a hundred deaths

Father, l fed him some soup

He still has a fever

- Praise the Lord!

- A black tea for me

Father needn't have come here

We'll bring the teashop

to the church

Chetty, who is a Mesakaaran?

You're asking the right man

Drunken fool, l'll whack you

Father wants to know something

A Mesakaaran is a gangster

Give him a tight slap

Mesakaaran is a smuggler

This drunk will get you crucified

Chetty works for Mesakaaran

Let him go!

There was an old Mesakaaran,

Xavier Fernandes

Bergmans killed him

and took his place

Yes or no?

Why does a priest want to hear

a smuggler's tale?

Only undernourished

kids need nutrition

Only sinners need a priest

Yes or no?

A hundred percent

ls he better? Did you give him

his medicine?

Here's food for you both

Boatman, here

l said come here!

Take me to the other shore

l have money. l'll pay

The green mint girl

l was looking for

l've got it

Shall l climb in?

Girls! You can all come

He'll take us across

The boat can carry

us all, right?

They're from my convent

Esili, Maria, Agnes, Anna

And Stella

Why is this boat so wet?

lsn't it cold?

The sea waves crash into it

l'd love to play

on the waves

But l don't have a boat

lf l did, l wouldn't know

how to operate it

But our clothes

will get soaked

Have to wear just

underwear then!

Only Bea has ideas like that

Mother will be mad

Where are you going?

Will you come with us to the

Sagaya Matha church festival?

l don't go to church

l'll take you

lt is like watching a

beautiful sunrise

We're here

Beatrice talks like a child

l can tell

l have money just for one

- l'll pay later?

- Ok

You look nice smiling.

Less nice scowling

You opened my heart

Who knows from

where you came

Hey girl

Where do you lead me?

Hey girl

Where do you lead me?

This strange path has

many pitfalls

But l trust you to lead the way

This wild boy is now

docile as a lamb

Following you with eyes shut

Drawing wings on a fish

You set it free into the sky

You taught me to fly

Who knows from

where you came

Hey girl

Where will you lead me?

Your eyes hold up a mirror...

...to my deepest fears

Clearing away the

dust in my soul

Painting it pure white

Where do you lead me?

Hey girl

He's gone

Who?

Celina and l went to the boat.

No Bergmans

l left Celina there

You looked everywhere?

Sure!

Any blood stains?

He's gone

He took the medicine

with him

Who is that? The priest?

Drink up.Then you'll see

the priest with two women

The priest is a fraud

Did he say anything?

No

Do you know where he is?

Was Bergmans in danger?

He didn't say much

''We'll leave in a few days''

That's all he said

He'll come back

Nothing can be done now

Take Celina to her aunt tomorrow

Surround them!

Drag them out!

We'll ask the priest what these

women were doing here

- Hit him

- Show the priest some respect

Why did you tie them up?

Let them go

The Bishop is coming!

The village is outraged, Father.

They caught you red-handed

l'll explain everything

l won't hear lies. What's your

relationship with that woman?

Nothing untoward.

l swear it

Silence! Calm down!

Praise the Lord!

You all believe a sin has been

committed in this church

Your trust in the church is vital. We'll

investigate the matter thoroughly

lnvestigate? Strip him of his

robes and chase him out

- You shut up!

- Chetty, let them investigate

Think of the Lord and answer me

Did you have a sinful relationship

with Father?

Were you in a physical

relationship?

This is the Lord's house

Speak the truth

l told you.

The priest is a fraud

Are you in a physical relationship

with Father Sam?

Yes

Why are you waiting?

Thrash him!

Don't hit him, l beg you.

He's a priest

Thomas!

- Father...

- What about him?

- The villagers are beating him

- Why?

- l don't know

- Why are they hitting him?

- Tell me why

- Come with me to the church

Did he hit Father too?

You nailed Father Sam

to the cross

leave out where it is

Mind your tongue

Whose picture is that?

Get lost!

lf anyone keeps

this picture here...

Mesakaaran, this is the boy.

Thomas

Who's Sam to you?

Your guru?

Your father? Or God?

Why do you fight his battles?

Know where he is now?

Palayankottai jail

Know who l am?

Know why you're here?

l'd have come anyway

They say Father Sam is in jail

thanks to you

Clarence, hear that? The boy is here

to avenge Father

So what will you do?

Stab me?

Shoot me?

You need courage

Cowards can't do it

Father Sam couldn't

He is bound by God

But why did you stop?

Has fear shut you up?

lf you had wanted to kill me,

you would've

So why the sermons?

Do you only listen to Father

Sam's sermons?

Father Sam and l studied together

But l was the smarter one

Mine is the path of survival

His path is for blind sheep

lf you follow Sam...

l don't want to go to jail

l don't want to end up like

Father Sam

So?

l want the village to bow

at my feet

Every person in that village...

... has insulted me

Called me Satan's spawn

from the time l was born

The church, God. Everyone

They won't bow at your feet

if you don't change

You need to grow

Conquer the sky

So when you look down, the

church will seem a tiny speck

You must grow like me

l will learn

Hey, Clarence

The boy is a viper

He needs to be shot

But...

lf you spare him, be vigilant

Peace isn't my preference.

Vigilance is

You're covered with bruises

and scars

They didn't spare you

Yes. l've learned

to fight back

My strength was in my mind.

Now it's in my body too

You'll see, the men...

... who hit me will join my side.

God's side

But your Thomas...

Your beloved Thomas is

with me now

That's the way

Satan rolls the dice

l'll teach Thomas

the pleasure of sin

He'll be a greater

devil than l

Your rage is against me.
