Keep him out of it

How can l? Our score

isn't settled yet

Before l sleep each night,

it's you...

Sam Fernando that l think of

You lying? Or were you lying

with a bullet inside you?

l was in danger then

l didn't expect you to

save me, but you did

lt gave me the

perfect chance...

...to settle an old score

Could l let it pass?

So you forced Celina to lie

in church?

l, Bergmans, used an angel

to trap God's messenger

l used Celina to

send you to jail

Then dispatched Celina to heaven

A priest? So violent?

You wanted money

for the church

Satan's offering

Who is this?

Your Father Sam had me thrown

out of the seminary

l lost my family, my mother...

Everything was gone. Overnight

So l joined Mesakaaran Xavier.

He controlled the coastline

His lovely wife Terese...

...carried the seed of

my sin in her womb

l am Satan

So l had to kill Xavier before

he suspected me

l married Terese

Now l have all this

Wait. That's for me

Come, Chetty.

How are you?

All well, Mesakaaran

We're shark-catchers.

We aren't checked much

The going rate?

Sharks are in great demand

Yes. How true

How much for this?

The black market rate

is 150,000. Right?

But if you sold it without knowing

the price, l lose money

How much did you get?

You made me buy back what

was already mine

Forgive me, Mesakaaran

A bad mistake. Forgive me

Spare me this once

Please forgive me

l'll never steal your

guns again

Forgive the dog

l forgive you. Go!

You know our fishermen are

getting killed all the time

The full moon

The wide-open sky

And God who created it all

They all stand alone

Just as you stand alone

Why is this scum here?

You show up at an auspicious

time? A bad omen

A cursed man should stay away

Chetty will kill you if he sees you

Are you drunk? Go away before

he returns home!

You wretch!

They've shot Chetty

His body is lying on the shore

What are you saying?

What do you mean?

He never went to sea

He's in Nagarcoil, booking

a wedding hall. Stop lying!

The man who buried my mother

is lying dead on the shore

Didn't you hear?

You wretched demon!

Curses on you, if you speak

the truth

Why did you kill him? l'm sure

you did it

My sister is getting married. And

you bring bad news

Damn you

When a tree falls...

another will grow tall

But if the heart keels over...

how will it rise again?

Open the earth...

you'll find treasure

Open the flowers...

you'll find honey drops

Open the rivers...

crops will flourish

Open the future...

hope will smile at you

Brother Varghese

Stop!

l'm coming

lt's urgent

Hurry!

Wait, l'm coming

l must hurry

Praise the Lord!

Faster!

Brother Varghese, stop!

Turn the boat around.

l have to go back

l was thinking your face looks

so familiar

ls that your boat?

Can it go fast?

l didn't recognise you

l felt someone's eyes on me

Where to?

Over there

Beyond the fields.

To David's house

Hurry!

Brother Varghese

You're too slow!

You've lost

Praise the Lord!

l'll ride your cycle. Let me

take you

l can ride

l'm faster than

a motor bike

Are you a doctor?

l'm a nurse

- Where did you train?

- At a nearby nursing school

l scored top marks

She's here

The baby's head is stuck.

They won't make it

Save them!

David, why didn't

you call me sooner?

Help us. lt's our first child

Everybody out!

No crowding in here

A bucket of boiling water

and a clean sheet. Now!

The baby's head is stuck.

l need help

Come, Tom. Come inside

Why me? There are so many

women here

They skin fish with their nails

Their hands are dirty.

You'll pull the baby out

What choice have we? We can't

infect the baby

Jessie, try harder

Come here!

Pull the baby's head out

gently. Don't be scared

Jessie, push. Harder!

Lift your head and push

Pull, Tom

The full moon

The wide-open sky

And God who created it all

They all stand alone

Just as you stand alone

There's blood on your hands

Whose blood is that?

You cheeky boy!

The police might get you

You don't bleed only when

you're dying

So no one is dead?

- This blood is different

- So, what blood is it?

The blood of Christ

Thomas is crazy!

Maybe l am

Thomas is crazy

Get lost!

Don't remove the dressing.

Keep it on for two week

Albina, are you giving the

right dosage?

Who are you? Haven't seen

you here before

Are you from these parts?

Who is unwell?

l came to talk to you

About what?

What's your name?

Studying? Or working?

l have a boat.

A fishing boat

Praise the Lord!

How do you know Bea?

She travelled in my boat

l came to ask about her

Why did you come to see her?

l asked you why

l just had to see her

l shan't misunderstand

what you're saying

David's child

Bea is like a child. No one

ever forgets her

She finds a place in

one's heart

She's an angel. But her

mind is child-like

l don't understand, Mother

Nothing wrong with her mind

Many talented people - dancers,

musicians, scientists

Experts in their fields. But they

have child-like minds like Bea

She looks after all the villagers

She must have suffered a trauma,

and didn't develop emotionally

ln psychological terms... it's

a subconscious defence

Her mind refuses to grow. Maybe

it's safer where it is

l was just thinking about you

About me?

What were you thinking?

l don't know. l was applying

the cycle brakes...

lt just slipped my mind

- Look at them dance!

- Dance?

So what game did you play

when you were young?

''Fight for food'' game

l saw a film yesterday

Super film. A real comedy

- Do dogs go home at nightfall?

- Yes

lf everybody goes home,

who stays here?

- Only ghosts?

- Ghosts?

Do you have a cough?

- ls it bothering you?

- Yes

So stop coughing!

A leafy odour

- lt must be giardia

- Who is that?

A parasite created by God

- When did you move here?

- Just now

Were you ten?

No way. This young

Two?

No, this young

Four?

Five

And your mother?

Don't know her

Your father?

You don't know them?

How could you forget

your parents?

Are you crying?

Why?

Your cycle?

l borrowed it from Nadar.

You return it

Praise the Lord!

ls that the priest?

lsn't that the priest?

The wretched man is back

God knows what will happen now

Damien, how are you?

Muthu, give me a black tea

What will befall us now?

No fighting here

Another tea

Father, why did you return?

Go away

l didn't come here to leave

Don't talk to him.

Throw him out

- They'll kill you, Father

- Let them

How dare he!

For God's sake! Why come back?

You have no one here

Did Jesus ask you back?

l'm not leaving

l can die here. Anyone wants

to kill me, go ahead

l've work to do here. l'll finish

what l started

O Lord, You had wished to call

dear sister Sagaya Mary...

...to Your side

We are here to bury her body...

... once again. We bury her

here with hope and faith

Her soul...

...was wracked with pain while

she lived on this earth

She chanted Your name forever

O Lord! We offer her

into Your care

Purify her...

Purify her departed soul
