Vettah (2016) Movie Script

1
There's one thing that I
have learnt from my dad
We never choose life
Life chooses us
I didn't choose my profession
as a police officer
Through my father, Circle Inspector
Sreenivasan, the profession chose me instead
There will be a case in the life of any
police officer that can never be forgotten
I had one such case in my life too
Melvin Philip... I heard that name for
the first time through that case
And I never thought that name
was going to change my life
After all... life is a hunt. And it is we
who choose whether to hunt or to be hunted
Grandpa is not giving my teddy
Have your food, sweetie
Why do you take her teddy
bear all the time?
Have food, dad.
Grandpa has peed in his pants
You know grandpa is ill, right?
You have food.
Get up, dad
Mom, I'm really sorry
What for?
For making fun of grandpa
Come on.. that's okay
Why are you laughing, mom?
I was thinking about an old story
Long back, grandpa had a Fiat Padmini
You know what he used to call it?
"Pee vehicle"
I was scared of speed then
Whenever grandpa went
fast, I used to pee!
Thus Fiat Padmini became "Pee vehicle"
Hello
Good morning madam
This is the spots
The incident happened here
The brake has been
applied all on a sudden
So it doesn't feel like a collision
It could have been blocked purposely
Seems to be"
Who saw this first?
Sanjeevan did, while patrolling
Wham did you see?
Madam, it was during the routine patrol
that the car was found abandoned
Since the valuables were found inside,
it was evident that the motive wasn't theft
On tracing the number,
it could be found that...
...the car belonged to film
star Uma Satyamoorthi
I had informed the matter to
the control room right then
It was during a detailed search that we could
find the mobile lying below the front seat
A car is found abandoned in the
main road during the night
A well-known actress is missing from there
No sign of attack or any struggle
It's quite strange
Ma'am, they had gone last to attend the get
together function of their college mates
Uma had reached Hotel White Clouds
at 7. 30 in the evening driving herself
She went back at 10. 30 in the night
Check the CCTV at the hotel
I want the details of all who
came for the get together
Sure Ma'am
Did you trace the owner of the
mobile that was found there?
The connection is under the
name of one Melvin Philip
The outgoing calls from this phone
has gone to a single number
That too five times
Which number?
All the five calls have
gone to Xylex sir's number
What?
Xylex, the person who died in your
station could have been a convict...
but he's a human being too
Then what about the three kids sexually
abused by him? Aren't they human beings?
So? That justifies your wrongful act?
Wham wrong did I do? I've already told you..
we got him from a completely provoked mob
He was already beaten up by then
(Phone beeps) Sorry
That is the reason for his death as well
You can check the autopsy report
But that doesn't let you run
away from your responsibilities
Listen... I have already
gone through a lot
I am in a stage where I can't
decide even on my personal issues
Even regarding adopting a child
I have never misused my uniform
This is not just a profession
for me" it's a passion
Yes, it's the same number
When was it? You still remember?
Almost two weeks back
On the day of that hearing
At first I thought it was a prank call
The connection has been taken under
the name of a Melvin Philip
It was taken recently
The matter is different
He has made only five outgoing
calls from that number.
The funny pan is that all the
calls have been made to you.
Now I can be blamed for
kidnapping Uma Samyamoorthi.
I am going through
the best time!
It's the case file. Just go through.
Please spare me from this case Already
I'm in trouble dealing with another!
He is our prime suspect. It's important for
this case to know why he called you
And it's our responsibility
I saw everybody's responsibility
when a problem happened to me
Give me the file
Bala had called
Hmm
Why don't you take up this case?
Anu, let's talk something else
About what, Xylex?
Is it about adoption?
In this situation it's not going to work
Then about the treatment... but
the problem is not for me
I didn't mean to hun you
Just think" if you can prove this case, all
the black marks in your career will be over
You don't know when he went out?
No sir
Melvin has no friends here?
No
He is a peculiar kind...
doesn't talk to anyone much
Visitors?
Visitors come to him occasionally
When did he come yesterday night?
He came late than usual. But
I'm not sure about the time
If he comes here you should inform us
Okay sir
Let's go
Ma'am... All the visuals after Uma Satyamoorthi
came to the get together has been checked
Okay, let's go
Ma'am.. Uma's car reached the
parking at exactly 07: 12
Uma reached the party hall at 07:21
Now see this Ma'am
Do you see the three persons who are
with Uma while going to the hall?
Just watch that guy
The one standing near the
other three... that's Melvin
I have checked the list of guests
who came for the get together
He was her college mate
This is the camera near the
parking area of the hotel...
Do you see the grey Santro
that follows Uma's car?
Rajeev, take him immediately
Yes Ma'am
Four years back... to be
exact, Nov 13, 2011...
That was when your daughter
Angel went missing, right?
Yes
The missing of your daughter
made your wife Sherin in...
...to a state of depression and
she became a drug addict
The effort was to bring her back to normal.
But by then...
Your honour, it has been proven beyond the
doubt that this convict has done a cruel act
As such the convict may be given the maximum
possible punishment of life imprisonment
Any further submissions?
That's all your honour
Excuse me, has someone named
Sherin been admitted here?
Are you Melvin?
Please come
Yes
Jumped from the balcony.
Death happened on the spot
(Sobbing)
Melvin.. your old college
mate is a famous actress now
Was it an infatuation during the college days
or thejealousy seeing her current state?
What was the reason?
She's safe, Madam
Where is she?
I haven't troubled Uma in any way, sir.
After all, she is a celebrity
She shouldn't know
about our shortcomings
The life of celebrities is not like ours
Everything is better for them
Better food, better clothes
everything is better
So I gave her a better death
Painless death
mum did you say?
I killed her
Just one question to you, Melvin
How much do you trust your wife?
Did you go out today'?
No
Prakashan said he saw
you at Kadavanthra
That's why I asked you
Oh I forgot to tell you. I had
gone to Jayalakshmi with Sreya
It's her engagement next week
Hmm.. Okay
Can you please give me the cheese?
Okay... you saw them together
So? What's wrong?
There will be truth
behind a series of lies
Your statement to police says that every
statement made by the convict is wrong
Definitely. See I'm a psychologist.
I can say whether a person is lying
from his body language
Can you explain that?
Sure. If it is a lady, she will be
hesitant to look into your face or...
...will hide her face with some object
or will deliberately make it vague..
Err... I had forgotten... Err...
I had gone with Sreya
It's the direct flight to Dubai. He booked
it. Sherin was sitting in the car then
The greatest pain in the world is cheating
There is only one punishment for that
Death
There is a starting point for every crime..
How it is utilized makes it perfect
The starting point here was
a fever that Sherin had
To portray her as a drug addict,
I injected drugs instead of medicines
I was giving back what she had done to me
There are three factors
to determine a crime
The time when it happened, the
place and the reason for the death
The time that I chose
to call Sherin
Hello... It's not clear
Sherin, you come out to the balcony
I chooses the narrow balcony as the place
The perfect time, place and then,
the perfect crime happens...
ls there someone admitted
here under the name Sherin?
Are you Melvin?
Yes
Jumped from the balcony.
The death happened on the spot
Wham is Uma's role in this one?
Ma'am, haven't you heard about the
wrong person at the wrong time?
Wham does that mean?
Emil was my next target
But by then he had gone abroad
When there was no chance to meet again,
this get together was made for me by Jesus
I felt that all my plans
are breaking in a second
I was aware that if Emil goes back
tommorow, I will lose him for ever
I had only two options
Either loose Emil for ever...
or kill Uma too...
I choose the second one
Wham happened Melvin?
In the film star Uma Satyamoorthi case,
there is an important turnaround.
Melvin Philip has confessed
that he had abducted...
...and killed Uma and NRI
businessman Emil Kurian
The convict has been taken to
procure evidence, as per Police
Rajeev, after the bodies are
recovered, the mob will be violent.
So you should be very alert.
Sure Ma'am
(Media persons shouting)
Ma'am, Melvin is totally confused.
What do you mean, Rajeev?
He can't identify the spot as
they were buried during night
So what to do, Ma'am
People are getting violent, Rajeev.
It's better we leave.
SP and IG are asking
for explanations
That I can handle
But there is another issue
The hill where we had taken Melvin
to for evidence, has a specialty
There will be dense fog once in three
months and it will continue for 21 days
After twelve days, there
will be fog again.
We can't retrieve
the body after that
Suppose the story told
by Melvin is true
He is not sure where the
body has been buried
We will give him some more time
If he can remember where the
body is the issue will be solved
But if the story is not true, we
have to change our approach
How about psychic lever?
It's the method of getting close
to a suspect during interrogation
They should feel like we
have believed their lies
Yes for that we have
to get closer to him
He should reveal the spot even
without him knowing about it
Even the concept of an interrogation
room should not be there
But where?
Until I reached there yesterday,
everything was clear for me, sir
But when I saw the mob, I couldn't
recollect the right place
It's okay, Melvin
We can understand that
Now you try to recollect any board
or landmark that you saw that night
I will remind you about
what you told u; Melvin
It was around 01: 30 in the night
when your car reached there
From there the bodies were
dragged for some 300 metres
Then you went back to the
car to get the pickaxe
With the same pickaxe,
a six feet deep...
Sir one thing
On the way after burying the body,
there was water flowing with great force
As if some pipeline was broken...
Rajeev, contact the irrigation department
to check if there was something like that
If there was one, search
the area immediately
There was no such leakage in the
area that you mentioned, Melvin
Bala, we will give him some more time
Let him think
(mumbles) What is the use of all these!
Mum did you say?
Nothing
Just forget whatever happened.
What is the next option?
Sir we have only six days
Once the fog starts,
things will be real bad
Within six days you have make
him say where the spot is
But there is another problem, sir
The district jail is the hub of petty
criminals and political goondas
Problems are regularly
reported from there
How safe will Melvin be, there?
If something happens to him
that will affect our case
So we have to ensure his
safety by all means
This is a high profile case, Bala
Jail department will give you full support
I will directly monitor
all his security measures
This is Rajeev, Ma'am..
There is an issue at the district jail
When?
There was a call from the jailor.
Then?
I think it's a conflict
between the convicts
Ma'am... Things are a bit out of control
We need to take some action immediately
Our team should reach there immediately
If something happens
to Melvin, we are done
But how do we get permission
to enter the jail premises?
Don't worry.
I will take care of it
Okay Ma'am
As per the latest information, a convict
has been attacked inside the district jail
It is not yet known on who is the
convict or what his condition is
Anyway there is tense
situation inside the jail
Pay me the money
I have told you not to run
around while going to the park
Mm
Do you know how much I was worried
when I couldn't find you?
Sorry, dad
That is okay, sweetie
As per our latest information an ex cop named
Sainuddeen was attacked inside the jail
He has been jailed under
molestation charges and he had...
...entered into a scuffle with
fellow jail mates recently
The conflict is believed
to be a result of this
The conflict is believed
to be a result of this
Melvin, you were narrating
the story of Emil and Sherin
Now we will comeback
to the missing link
Uma Satyamoorthi
Diya... Uma's daughter
She is younger than Angel
Losing someone is more
painful than death, Melvin
You know that pain
more than anyone else
You can't give back
anything that she has lost
But there is something
that you can do
You can tell us where the spot is
This is the last chance for
the child to see her mother
You have gone wrong, Madam
The greatest pain than death
is not losing your loved one..
But when your
loved one betrays you
The best way to correct a
mistake is to do a right thing
Here they have erred
By killing them what I
did was the right thing
We have a law
prevailing here, Melvin
There is only one law, sir. It
has been written by the Lord
I haven't done anything wrong
in that court... but she did
We will discuss that topic later
No sir. We men should
discuss that topic only
Can you say for sure that your
wife will never cheat you?
No
There is only one thing that a man doesn't
know about in this world...! Woman!
Madam, can you live with someone,
after cheating on your husband?
You won't believe anything now.
But one day you will, for sure
Wham the pain of being cheated is!
Enough
It's the jailor.
A gang had targeted him
His life is becoming riskier
with every passing day
Don't be tense. We will
somehow get him to talk
How?
He is always repeating
the same story.
I think we are heading
in the wrong direction
Hey... come on
Go and sit in the car.
I will come soon.
Take this sir...
Did you withdraw Rs. 5 lakhs from the bank?
There was a message on the mobile
Daddy wanted some money
for the renovation of the house
This can be worn with all your dresses
-ls this?
- No.. this"
Madam this is from the office.
Can you please come urgently?
There is a serious matter
I will be back soon
This was there in the file.
Don't know who kept it there
With every passing day, her
lies were going up in number
I watched her mannerisms,
as the doctor said
She had become a big bundle of lies
I did it at last, when
I had no other option
Sir, do we need to continue this?
He is saying the same thing
for the past three hours
Take him
With every passing day, the number of lies
that she was saying was going up
Are you sure that your
wife will never cheat you?
It has been pretty long
since you called up
I was a bit busy. What about the
renovation works of the house?
It was over last month. How will you know?
Both of you never call us
Anu didn't call you?
No... it has been a
while since we talked
That... Daddy wanted some money...
for the renovation of the house"
I will call you back
I will be back after
going to the washroom
What happend?
Why did you want to meet me?
There is an issue
It is confidential.
Okay... I'm coming soon
I will call you later
A normal accident.
I had imagined so.
But the paper that I got... It's like
someone is trying to say something
When you say so... that phone
call and the accident...
Hello Manu
I want a help from
the cyber cell...
This is the call details sir
This is the log for incoming
and out going calls.
The maximum number of calls
have come from which number?
It's from this number, sir. The
connection belongs to one Mr. Rony
Sir, this is his id
M
m
Xylex, you need not come. I will
come back in the office cab.
Ma'am, the details of the last call
to the phone has been received.
It was from one Xylex Abraham
At that moment one
thing was clear to me
My dad's accident...
it was planned
And the pivotal role was
played by my best friend
Anjali, you have a letter
New revelations in the film
star Uma Satyamoorthi case
The convict Melvin Philip
had undergone psychiatric...
...treatment at a mental hospital
as per our investigation
It is now clear that the
investigation of the concerned...
...officer Sreebala IPS
wasn't on the right track
The minister had called...
They are transferring the case to CBCID
Sir, we are almost there
Then show me your findings until now
They will take charge at sharp 02:30.
After that they want to meet you
Okay then" you can leave now
Until they take charge, you are
the deciding authority, right?
So?
All I am asking is just three hours.
Trust me.. He will speak" Please
Okay... But she has to say
Bala. please... this is our last option
Bala, Thank you so much
If we can't prove it even
now, I will be gone forever
I owe you
Xylex, I am asking out of curiosity
Do you remember anything about
the day when dad had that accident?
I have already told that
I have killed them
What am I going to gain by not saying
the place where they were buried?
Melvin, you try to recollect
things once again
Time is up. They have taken charge
They are on the way
I will tell you where the place is
Before that both of you
should answer my question
Tell me Madam If you learn that your best
friend is cheating on you, how will you react?
What will you do if your
wife cheats on you, sir?
It was a mistake to give so much
time for a criminal like you.
I know the language
that suits you
You want the answer? I will give
Stop it.
Open the door
The discussion continues
ACP Xylex Abraham was involved
in a similar case even before, right?
Yes
In that circumstance, how does the commission
take this attack on Melvin by ACP?
The commission has decided to react
strongly considering such a brutal act
The commission has ordered
to charge a case suo motu...
Shall we go?
Sainuddeen sir was behind everything
I don't know for who it
was or why it was done
Actually I was waiting for you
There is an urgent client meeting at Mumbai
I have to leave tomorrow itself
Are you going alone?
Yeah
And when will you return?
I'll come back tomorrow evening itself
You have to travel tomorrow.
Go and sleep
One thing that he said is right
The greatest pain is when
you are being cheated
But there's a mistake in what he said...
why should we kill them both?
Isn't it enough if we kill one?
It is so painful to
lose your loved ones
Xylex, what all are you saying?
Enough. Go home now
He should be killed...
Hello Ajay... I need
to leave immediately
If there are any urgent
files, you send it home
Grandpa... give it back
Jhanvi...
Sir, I want to see you urgently
I want to discuss an urgent matter
Perfect timing Bala.. It was
the call from Crime Branch
Melvin is ready to show the spot
But on one condition...
He will reveal it to you and Xylex only
Bala, there is no time to waste"
We have to act immediately
It's not safe to drive further Madam.,
There's fog and the visibility is minimal
You do what I say... yes sir
Bala, there is no point in prolonging this
I strongly feel this is our last chance
Please trust me
How close the person who has to die will
decide the perfection of the crime we do
Don't worry. It could have been some
animal... Nothing is to be seen there
The court has been convinced that the convict
has done the drama due to mental illness.
He has been sentenced to one
year of imprisonment, for this...
...act of insanity, to be spent in
a government mental hospital.
The court also congratulates
Commissioner Sreebala IPS...
...and ACP Xylex Abraham for
bringing out the truth
I had seen Melvin for the first time on one
such day... So many days... so many questions...
but still there is one question
that remains unanswered.
Why did he do all these?
But one thing I am sure
All the answers were in Melvin's smile..
Shall we go sister?
Okay. The papers will
be ready within a week
It's just that we haven't met like
this before. But I know Xylex well
It has been a long time since
I have seen you this happy
Did you sign the documents?
Asha knows everything
In fact, it was she and her
husband who helped me the most
I'm on the way to the airport...
it's all because of you, Ma'am
Hey...it's part of our job
You should see everything
as a nightmare only
Even your relationship with Sherin
Ma'am.. I didn't get you.
Who's this Sherin?
Is this some kind of a joke?
I am talking about
Sherin, Melvin's wife
He did all this after knowing
about your relationship
Ma'am, who told you this?
I have never seen this
Sherin in my whole life
And that guy Melvin.. I have
seen him 12 years back"
...while in college and now,
at this get together
I am already late I have to rush.
The flight is at 12 O'clock
There were no features of
chronic drug abuse in her body
But at the time of death, drugs
was found in a heavy dose
We felt so during autopsy
Likewise, the injuries when
one falls on their own...
...and when someone else pushes
to death are different
The injuries on the victim was like she was
deliberately pushed to death, from a height
These were my findings, Madam
But there was heavy pressure to write it off
as an accident, from the higher authorities
I tried my level best... but who cares?
Okay. Thank you doctor
Hello Rajeev
Ma'am... Xylex is clean
Ye; I know
But someone is helping Melvin
I have my own guesses about who it is
Actually we didn't arrest Melvin
He made us do that
Why?
The answer is there in your question
I don't have to give you the answer
Sherin didn't die as a
result of an accident
She had no relationship with Emil.
That was not true
Often lies are more
powerful than the truth
That is why every lie becomes
a truth when it is said repeatedly
How did you kill Sherin?
What is the real story?
See Melvin, Angel's
performance in all the...
...assessment exams this year
has been extremely poor
So the board has decided
not to continue her
Please Madam... this won't happen again
This is what you say all the time
Let me talk to the board
But this is your last chance
Are you drinking milk, baby?
Come" sit on my lap
Revathy had called you
How many times we have been
insulted by the principal
Give her some time, Melvin.
Things will be fine
I don't think so
I don't want to go to the school...
Don't cry...
We didn't find the kid. We thought
sir had picked her from the school
Melvin, bring two packets
of milk while coming
Okay
And tell her I'm cooking
her favourite noodles
To whom?
To the baby
Wham? She is not with me
Sreekkuttan told me that
you had gone and picked her from school
What are you saying, Sherin?
I just got out of office...
How can I pick her then?
Then where's she?
Don't be tense I will
check at her school
Don't worry
Don't shout... I'm coming
What happened sir?
My daughter hasn't reached home yet
The kids have all gone home...
there's none left here.. You may go now
Just look again what if inside...
School has closed at the right, kids might have
gone for playing somwhere You leave sir...
Wont allow to have 2 pegs peacefully...
You searched everywhere?
Okay... Thank you
Neither the school authorities
nor the police helped us
Only we were there to search for her
I got that book from her
room later in the evening
Who's that?
What happened sir?
Nothing
There is a torturing method done to the
kids with lesser marks by the principal
Unfortunately Angel was their usual victim
It was the day when the results
of the exam had come out
The principal punished
Angel that day as well
The principal left the school early as
she had another programme that afternoon
The kid fainted after not being
able to drink water for long
Even when the last staff member
had gone from the school...
...no one remembered that my
daughter was lying there
I wasn't aware that the kid
was there in the cage, sir
The principal and the manager
warned me that nothing should go out
I didn't know sir... I can
say this in any court
Who were they?
Madam you know the
owner of the school
He died in an accident
recently... Roney Varghese
I will kill you devil
Melvin, listen to me
They did everything to
hide the truth from all
The police also joined them
The things have changed
according to their order.
Ma'am, listen to me"
Their next target was Sherin
When they made her a drug
addict in her autopsy report...
...Sherin's death
became just an accident
From there, to the mental
hospital for a while
Nobody was ready to listen to me
Except one
It was your dad... Madam
Sir, I haven't seen you before
I don't know if you will save me
But please listen to me, sir
Hello Roney Sir... This is Sainuddeen here
Things are going out of hand sir
The principal and the manager
warned me that nothing should go out
Hello... ls everything ready, Roney sir?
Okay, I will bring it there
Shall I get you one more drink?
Yes...
Sir, I've to call home... Can you give
me your phone? There's no balance in mine
Why did you want to meet me urgently?
There's a matter... it is confidential...
One minute
Sreeni Sir... This is Sainuddeen here
Xylex sir wants to meet you
Where is he?
He is there at the station
I will come soon
Dad, do you know who is with him?
She is Xylex Abraham's wife
He did the wrong thing
Why should I go to jail
after killing such a person?
What do you mean?
Thus Emil came home to attend the
get together; as per my plan
I wanted Uma to be with Emil,
while he is being kidnapped
For than, there was
another reason
Every missing case becomes sensational,
when the victim is a celebrity
So I chose Uma
I had left my phone in
the car for two reasons
One was to lead the police to me
Secondly, to bring Xylex Abraham
to the investigation team
Dad, I'm going. Now...
My dad entering Anu's life as a vicar,
helping in the adoption matter,
dealing things in a way to create doubt in
Xylex's mind, everything was as per our plan
Don't be tense about adopting
I have told her everything
Certain things will have
to be done out of the way
Let Xylex know about it all
after everything is fixed
Yes father...
You will have to raise a
good amount by next week
I will let you know
The easiest way to deceive a person is
by creating a doubt in his mind
Leaving the paper at your office
was pan of that plan, Madam
Then what I needed was some time
I had to convince some with
a few stories... to settle some scores
He can't identify the spot as
they were buried in the night
The Lord pronounces the verdict directly
for some sins happening here in this world
Like Sainuddeen's death in the jail
But for some other crimes, the Lord
may not pronounce the sentence
As they happen with
the Lord's knowledge
It was a God's messenger who
killed Roney for my Angel
Sir, have you seen a
messenger of God?
I have seen. I have touched
Like this...
You killed him for me
Another person besides the two
of us know about that secret
You, Madam
All the secrets are with you
After doing all these, do
you think you can get away?
I definitely believe so... because,
before the law, I am not the culprit
It's you
There are no evidences in any of
the police files that I killed Roney
But I have proof of you killing Roney... and
Madam, for keeping mum after knowing about it
Killing a person itself is a big crime.
Even bigger a crime is when a
police officer tries to suppress it
So what about the principal?
