And he has the money

We're running around in circles

like our behind is on fire!

If it were me, I'd have

kidnapped him again

- What did you say now?

- Nothing, forget it

You are bang on!

We are kidnapping him again

Dai... don't

I'll give you an idea

to get back your lives

Just surrender

We'll find a way

to break this case

No... no

We'll try this one time

If it doesn't work,

we'll all surrender

- What are you saying?

- Shut up

Just get us a bike and

a car, that's enough

Das, this is really risky

Trust me

We've taken risks like this

before and come out of it

Just arrange this for us

Keep this for safety

Sir, everything that happened

that day seems like a dream

I was unconscious half the time

Someone would hit me with

a wooden stick... I'd faint

They didn't even feed me, sir

It was a pitch dark room

They had holed me inside that

They'd cover my face with a mask

whenever they took me out of the room

It was definitely in the city

But I'm not sure

I heard cows moo

What is that noise?

- What's the sound?

- Nothing, ma

Son, don't you

read the papers?

Gang that 1st kidnapped you

confessed everything

It's your turn to

tell the truth now

I swear I don't know anything, sir

You know

what this card means?

Good for you if you

confess by 6:
00 p.m

Das, start the car

Start it... move fast

Don't look at his jeep

Just be casual

I forgot the matchbox, sir

He's looking our way

End of our story!

Just stay calm... quiet

"You've been... oh my dear

(st)ripped off your trouser!"

"Pulled into a vortex pointless

Yes, my love... you're pant-less"

"Your pants are off!

Your game is up!!"

He's catching up

Go fast... faaaast... faster

- Left... left... left!

- Hey, No! Right!

This is a dead end...!

Sir, don't do anything here

Residential area

Get down

Get down now

Sir... sir

We are not worth

your 'encounter'

We know everything

'Keep this for safety'

I'm holding a gun to your face

and you're sneering at me!

Sorry

Get out... get out!

You can pick up your car

at Nungambakkam station

Go... start

Just buy me

a beer, you guys

2 more minutes

We get the bottles

and leave at once

How many times

will you call?

I saw it... the black car, right?

I'm coming

Come... come

Get him!

Get inside

Start the car

Keep moving

How long do we wait?

What happened?

Wait, the boy is coming

What is this?

Like an interrogation scene

from Captain Vijaykanth's film

What did you

tell the police?

Shall I tell you the truth?

If you guys had told my father

I ran off with the money...

...he'd have forgiven you

and locked me up instead

But you didn't

And you kidnapped me again

Even God can't save you now

And that psycho Inspector

Bramma is here too

I don't know how

you'll get away from him

We'll take care of that

What did you tell the police?

I didn't breathe a word

- You didn't tell Bramma a thing?

- I swear, I didn't

- Then where's the money?

- With me only

Even yesterday, I thought to myself

if you survived 'Bramma', then...

...I must give you guys

50-50 as agreed

Okay

Promise us something

and we'll let you go

Promise what?

Promise us that you'll not

tell the cops anything about us

I swear on my father's life

I won't tell the cops a thing

You can leave now

I can leave?

Just like this?

Yes

Not blindfolded, I'll know exactly

where you guys are... is that okay?

It's fine

You're being very careless

Watch your back

'I swear on my father's life

I won't tell the cops a thing'

You immediately go and

make 5 copies of the tape

1 for you, 1 for the police, 1 for

the minister and 1 for the press

Then see how the govt.

shuts this case down

I know a place

We can take as many

copies as we want

Then why are you

wasting time?

Go quickly

I thought of a scene

for our doc-bro's story

- With oranges

- Oranges?

What scene?

I need to tell

the director first

We're not free enough to

discuss scenes right now

Close...!

Boss, you're thinking about

whether we'll escape from death

We're thinking of what we'll do

having escaped death

We come with

full faith, boss

Come... come

Get into the auto

Come

Sir... sir

Let me go

I don't know anything

I swear... let me go, sir

Sir, I remember now

I'll tell you

It's near the Devi Karumari

Amman theater on Porur road

A small by-lane there

The 'accused' have surrendered

at the Saidapet station, sir

Sir... sir

I'll tell you, sir

Sir

Aaaaaarghhhhhhhhh!

'ln a sudden twist in the kidnap

of the minister's son...'

'...the 4 culprits have surrendered

at the Saidapet police station'

'Police have informed that they will

be produced before the court today'

Get in

Get in, da

'I'm holding a gun to your face

and you're sneering at me'

Do you have any

political affiliation?

Why did you

surrender suddenly?

What was your ransom amount?

Through whom?

Did you surrender

being scared of the police?

I'd like to say

something to the press

How can you manhandle him

right in front of us, sir?

En route from jail to court or

vice versa we won't escape

If we are shot under the pretext

that we tried to escape...

...it's planned murder and

the cop responsible for it is...

...Bramma! That is

why we surrendered

Sir, what is your response?

Why are you silent, sir?

CC 843

Das and co

Arumai Prakasam

Leave your foot wear here

Everything I say is the truth

And nothing but the truth

- Son, tell me your name

- Arumai Prakasam

- Your father's name

- Gnanodhayam

Were you kidnapped

on 25th of October?

Don't just shake your head

- Say yes or no

- Yes, sir

How many people

kidnapped you?

4 people

Aren't these men, Das, Pagalavan,

Sekar and Kesavan, who kidnapped you?

No, sir

Not them

- Huh?

- Not them, sir

Son, don't be tensed

Don't be scared

Look at them carefully

Weren't they the culprits?

No, sir

No, sir, look carefully

They're the ones

who surrendered

No, sir, I've never seen

these people before

You haven't?

I think... there is... your honor

Case flopped?

You're really not lucky

Sign here

- Why, sir?

- Just do it

Tell me

No problem?

Okay, bye then

Sir, the 4 are in the van

They are on their way

What's happening, da?

They made us sign

We are released, no?

You've been released

because you signed

I specifically told the reporters

all that to ensure we are not killed

Then?

They can't 'encounter' us

only if we are criminals

Now we're free

He can do anything

Relax without

blowing your top

We'll talk to him

when he gets here

Wait... what are you-

You get lost

Get out of this room

Come up with me now

Let him go... please

Where did you

get this money?

Tell me

where you got it

Where are you running?

You thief... traitor

Mother... maaaaa!

Leave him

You get out

Stop this now

You don't have the skill

to earn money of your own!

So why take your

failure out on him?

What did you say?

Hey! Open the door

Dai! Open the door now

I'll lock you up for

stealing this money

Open the door
