But we haven't escaped from the prison.

we are just victims of a road accident.

Why should we run away from them.

l am not going back to prison.

But l will ..

Then what about this??

May be we should cut it off.

And how shall we do that?

Wha.. What are you doing?

My hand..Watch it?My hand..Oh god?

Are you done now? All done??

Do you think this is easy??.

This handcuffs is not the way

to remove them.

We need a chisel. Where the hell can

How can l shout if l can't breathe?

Look, this is a god given opportunity for us

Let's escape.

No.. l don't want to escape..

do you understand.. l don't want to..

But l have to.. Because l have not

done anything wrong..

l am an innocent man.

But....

l am a thief. an offender

l was arrested fortheft. as they didn't find any

evidence against me, l was not punished.

Oh...

So you are not convicted?

Ya.. l don't know English so kindly

speak in Malayalam. Okay?

So why haven't they punished you?

How can they.. l've been only captured by

them the day before yesterday

So how did you end up in the Sub jail?

Wait .. Let me just think..

Yes l remember now..

Sir, his name is Mustafa. he has been arrested...

...before for some petty thievery

and pickpocketing

Now he is under arrest for stealing

a watch but as...

...we don't have any evidence,

we cant charge the case.

Why.. what happened ?

The shop he visited that morning

reported to us that they....

...found a duplicate watch in their collection.

He might have taken the original

and replaced it with a fake.

But we haven't found any footage of him

switching the watch on the CCTV camera.

We had caught him during our routine

checking at Kuttikkannam, Near by Peerumedu.

His case was registered in Ernakulum right?

Then how did he end up in Peramedu Sub Jail?

We had taken a transit warrant

from the court...

But that's when the road got blocked? So we

got a special orderto keep him in Sub Jail.

So what about the other guy?

They were taking him to gather

evidence to Ernakulum.

He was arrested for a murder case which

took place a month ago at Peerumedu.

Murder.. My God..

man!! Who did you kill?

l didn't kill anyone..

l was at the wrong place in the wrong time

and then the police tortured me, and l had to

confess to them to relieve me of their torture.

lf you are scared of theirtorture.

then why are you running from them?

Let me enlighten you..

They hate the most who try

to run away from them.

But if you tell them that we went to pee..

they might take us in without a scratch.

Or else..they will beat the hell out of us.

No.. l will never allow them to catch me.

lt's better to die than to go back to prison.

Hmm.. cant you understand

they are gonna capture us .

Why can't you help me?

For what?

To escape from here..

Are you joking right now?

lt's easier said than done

there are some problems to your plan..

Problem no. 01

Are these handcuffs,

we have to cut them.

There is no way we can get rid

of them in this jungle.

lf we go out wearing these

They will capture us immediately.

Problem No.02. is the police itself,

if they get me. l'm goona get beaten up twice

for helping you and trying

to evade from capture..

Problem no. 03

Even if we forget about these problems.. You

either have to be my brother or a close friend

At least we should be remotely related

But unfortunately we are not?

Now, Problem no. 04

Wait a second

let mejust think for a moment.

Hmm? there is no problem no. 04

but these problems are enough..

So l am so sorry..

l will not in a position to help you right now.

Why do you steal?

For a living

For money ?

You need money to live right?

lf l give you that money

will you help me?

lt depends on how much

you give me..

how much you give me?

How much do you want?

Give me a minute..

Let me think.

Ok l got it..

l need 5 lakh rupees..

l will give you 1 lakh

So what about 4 lakhs?

So what about 4 lakhs?

what about 3 lakhs?

What about 2.5 lakhs? Ok..let's stop right there.

this is not a fish market .

Let's agree on 3 lakhs.

i will adjust with it.

Ok..l agree on that amount..

But l have a condition..

What?

You not only have to get me out of here?but.

But?

You also have to help me find a person..

Who?

The Real 'Culprit'

l have doubt on someone

we have to find that person

Then what?

Then, l have to kill him.

Kill him? What the F....

l will not help you kill anyone.

You don't have to ..you just have

to help me find him..

l will kill him.

Do you have his address?

Stupid, lf we have his address

then things would become easier for us.

By the way, l forgot to introduce myself

l am Mustafa

So you are a Muslim?

Why? Do you want to go to Pakistan?

What is your name?

Vimal Kumar

So you are a Hindu?

Yes

So the guy who comes to capture us

will surely be a Christian

l pretty sure about that

Sir, look at this..take him also

Someone call the ambulance

Why are you running so fast..

We have to run like this or else we will be

captured. That's what l am saying too

if we run like this we will die for sure.

No that..

is not what l am talking about.

We have to make haste

Wait ..let me just catch my breath..

oh..god... wait a moment!

lf we go on like this we will never get out of
