Go find him.
James...
James, where are you?
Don't play with me.
Come to me.
James...

Come near me.
James...

Just like our first time!

[THE INCIDENT CHAPTER ONE]
Why the hell didnt you shoot?
James...
Where are you?
Neethus bystander?
Is Neethus bystander here?
Yes.
The doctor is calling you.
Please go inside.
Ill update you.
Have a seat.
Everything okay?
Hey, dont worry.
Shes doing better now.
Her due date is next
month, the 24th, right?
Lets plan to admit her on the 23rd.
Come immediately if you notice
any pain or discomfort before then.
Anand, why do you look so tense?
You seem more worried than Neethu.
No
Are you stressed?
No, no.
Neethu is fine. Dont worry at all.
Alright then.
You stay put. Ill handle it.
As if folding two clothes
is some huge task!
Ive kept some money inside.
I have no choice but to go.
Anyway, we still have one month, right?
Ill go there, check the situation
and return once the medicals done.
Why are you overthinking this?
I can handle things here.
Moreover, aunty is here to help me.
Call him if anything comes up.
Sir, get ready. Its time to leave.
Eat on time, okay?
Come on, get ready to go.
Go go.
Are you sure youre okay?
Im fine. Go ahead.
Dont worry about me.
Okay?
Hey, get down here.
So, he went to the Gulf, huh?
Chetta, one tea, please.
How do I get to Velloorkadu?
Just get into that jeep.
Yeah, go ahead.
Hey, have you reached?
Not yet.
Listen, she had some mild pain.
So were at the hospital now.
What did the doctor say?!
Theres a slight complication.
Theyre saying the delivery
might have to be done today itself.
Ill come there right away.
No need.
You go ahead and join.
You cant get here anytime soon anyway.
I just called to let you know.
No need to worry.
Aunty is there, right?
Yes.
Dont worry. Ill keep you posted.
Okay.
If youre coming,
just get into the vehicle.
Chetta, cancel the tea.
Huh?
Where are you barging in!?
Get in the backside!
Who the heck is he?
Are you hungry?
Whats wrong, sir?
Nothing.
Is your SIM BSNL?
No.
Only BSNL gets signal here.
If its urgent,
you can call from this phone.
Go on, make the call.
No need.
If youre planning to call
your wife or someone...
its better not to call from his phone.
Right, Shaji?
Ignore them. You go ahead, sir.
Not answering?
No.
Sir...
Hello?
Why arent you answering me?
Neethu?
Okay.
Ive become a father.
Wow!
Thats wonderful news.
Boy or girl?
Its a girl.
Uncles been blessed with a baby girl.
Congrats, Uncle.
Thank you.
Which grade are you in, dear?
4th standard.
Ah, nice!
Shaji, listen...
Did you hear about Ittichans daughter?
Heard shes shacked up
with someone in Bangalore.
And also...
Makes you wonder why we even
bother educating girls these days.
Kid!
Hey, open.
Chetta!
Wheres the closest hospital?
Not close. Well have to go a bit.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
Let the police come, you moron!
Im the damn police, you moron!
Hold him!
Come on.
Careful.
Open the door.
Chetta, open the door. Ill hold him.
Start the vehicle.
Uncle...
Dear, go sit in the front.
Hey, move aside!
Get a rickshaw or something!
Come on, man, lets go!
Sir!
Please, sit.
Anandu, right?
Anand, sir.
Yeah.
Thats what I said.
Where are you from in Kerala?
Kochi.
So, youre a Kochi folk?
Sir...
Sir, I got this from him.
Who? The guy who
just met with the accident?
Peter John...
Well...
well have to report this...
at Perumalai station.
Take a photo of this.
Might come in handy later.
Sir, he seems to be alright.
But he has lost some blood.
Didnt you inform his family?
I will.
Wait till they get here.
And those jeep people...
Let them go only after
completing all the formalities.
Theres a reason for that.
Did you have tea?
No.
Come.
We get top notch tea in the canteen here.
Come, lets grab some tea.
Come on.
Yeah, tell me.
Your family?
Just my wife.
No now I have a baby girl too.
How old is your daughter?
She was born today, just a few hours back.
Then he owes us a treat, sir.
Why not?
So you havent even
seen your daughter yet?
Do one thing
just go back.
Join first, then head back.
No, sir. Its fine.
Wait
Here's better...
Go back on Sunday.
Take a couple of days and then come back.
Its not like youve got some
huge responsibility here!
No better place to get transferred anyway!
Yeah yeah.
A disciplinary action, huh?
Youre not a troublemaker, right?
No, sir
We faced complications
during my wifes pregnancy.
Almost every day after duty,
I couldnt sleep because of the tension.
Then one day, I was on
guard duty and I dozed off.
I missed saluting the SHO
when he came in.
No wonder
No wonder you put on a whole show
when I walked in.
Listen
Respect should reflect in your conduct.
Not just in snapping a salute
the moment you see someone.
We dont follow that culture here.
What about your parents?
Ive never seen my father.
He was also in the police department.
He passed away just before I was born.
That shock broke my mother mentally.
Didnt take long she left too.
Since it was a love marriage,
my wifes family doesnt talk to us.
Now that you have a child
things will slowly fall into place.
Wasnt very different for me either.
Really?
Yeah!
He was in love with a girl.
Her father was hell bent on
stopping the marriage at any cost.
Ready to kill him if it came to that.
We didnt think twice.
Taking the girl out of her house,
getting them married
And sending them
straight to their first night
Handled top to bottom
by the Kerala Police!
But now
He and his father in law
are thick as thieves.
Thats all it takes, Anandu.
Everything will be alright.
Yes, Rasheed?
Sir, theres an issue.
What issue?
While passing through the forest road
We noticed a vehicle parked
suspiciously and checked it.
Some youngsters were inside.
They were trying to shoot some video.
Theyre Tamilians, sir.
There are 1-2 girls with them too.
Sir, hes stepped in and blocked them!
Who? Reji?
Yes, sir.
Looks like they have
influence at higher levels.
I dont think I can handle this.
Sir, can you come here quickly?
What the hell is wrong with him!?
Please dont create trouble.
The SI will be here soon.
Why should I talk to him, sir?
Even now, we are standing in our area.
Son, just listen to me.
Beyond this point, only the
Forest Department has permission.
This is a restricted zone.
Sir, I understand that.
But why is he yelling at me like that?
Who is he? Some forest ranger?
Tell him to calm down first.
Or you cant imagine what happens next!
Listen, this area falls
under our fathers control.
If you create trouble for us here
You can forget about
wearing that uniform again!
If you want to keep your job,
leave right now!
What is it, Dad?
Didnt I tell you Ill call you later!?
Hey, let go of my hand!
Switch it off!
I said switch it off now!
Didnt I warn you clearly
the first time, you wretches!?
Get out of here right now!
Reji, Reji, no!
Reji, stop!
Hey, no!
Reji!
Reji, stop!
Listen to me!
Where?
A little deeper inside, sir.
Did you identify the person?
No, sir.
Something has chewed off his face.
And his clothes are
soaked in mud too, sir.
Looks like he fell into a marsh.
Did you inform forensics?
Theyre on the way, sir.
Itll take some time to reach here.
Whats gotten into you?
You seem more damn bothered
than the Forest Department!
Just because I gave you some freedom,
dont push your luck with me!
Did you collect their details?
Yes, sir.
Sir doesnt that look
like a policemans body?
Shouldnt we probe that angle?
Oh, as if were idiots!
Thats a policeman from
Perumalai station, sir.
But theyre not answering calls right now.
Whos this?
Im the new CPO, sir.
Hey, do you have the number
of anyone from Perumalai station?
No, sir.
Sir, I have an ASIs number from there.
Give it.
2-0
2-0
9-5-0-3
9-5-0-3.
You try reaching them too.
Okay, sir.
Report to the station when
the forensic team arrives.
Ill be at the station.
Ill come along.
If anything comes up, call me.
Move in.
Hey, Peter!
Muthuvel!
PETER!
MUTHUVEL!
Can anyone hear me?
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!?
P3 calling, P3 calling!
Can anyone hear me?
I repeat, can anyone hear me?
Sir!
Hello!?
Isnt this that officers handset?
Can anyone hear me?
We came into this forest as a team, sir.
Now the rest are missing.
I'm the only one left.
Please save me somehow, sir.
Hello?
Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!
My name is Stephen, sir. Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can. I can hear you.
My leg is injured, sir.
Feels like Im dying from the pain.
Please do something, sir.
Sir, this is Kerala Police.
One officer from your department has
met with an accident on the forest road.
His handset is currently
with the Kerala Police.
Inform your control room
or report to your station.
Sir sir please listen to me, sir.
I'm trying for a long while.
But no one's answering.
I cant even move, sir.
Ive lost a lot of blood
I'm near the temple, sir.
Please come help me, sir.
Sir, this is risky.
Its outside our limits.
On top of that, we wont understand
anything if we get deep inside it.
Sir...
are you here, sir?
Please speak something, sir.
Pull over the jeep.
Hey, do you have network?
No, sir.
What the heck is wrong with him!?
Thats a policeman screaming for life, sir.
Sir...
are you in line?
Sir...
I'm gonna have a baby, sir.
After years of waiting
If you help me
I can at least see my child.
Im begging you like youre God, sir.
Sir, please sir!
Switch off that damn thing.
Hey, start the vehicle.
Sir, he says hes lost a lot of blood.
If we dont help him now,
hell bleed out to death there, sir.
So what?
Thats not our responsibility.
Sir, I know it isnt.
But if we act now,
he might at least live to see his child.
Its a life, sir.
What nonsense are you talking?
Have you ever stepped
into this forest before?
Im a local around here.
Sir, this place is dangerous!
If you want to go in trusting
some random guy, go ahead.
Im not coming.
Sir, are you scared?
Scared?
Me?
Sir!
Hey!
Hey, move away!
What are you doing?
Ill shoot him down!
Put the gun down.
Come on, let me go!
Hey, hand over that gun!
Listen to me. Put the gun down!
Ill kill him! I swear I will!
Hey, unlock this!
Don't shoot!
Tell him to unlock this!
Hey, hurry up!
Go, go!
Hey, stop right there!
Come on!
Hey, are you okay!?
Peter, wheres the first aid box?
Ill get it right away, sir.
Das
Are you okay?
Peter!
If you see them, dont shoot.
Inform me first.
Sir, do we really need to go further?
Sir
I dont believe in ghosts
or evil spirits that much.
But ever since we entered here,
something feels very wrong.
Sir
Since my childhood
there's a story everyone in the
village keeps talking about, sir.
Many years ago, there was a temple here.
To drive away bad times
and bring good fortune
People used to pray to that deity.
The day people began
offering human sacrifices
That was the day all the troubles began.
From that day onwards, on this soil
No blood should be spilled
And no sound should cross a certain limit.
Muthuvel, you go that way.
Ill take this route.
Oh no, sir, please listen
to me for heavens sake!
Hey, Muthuvel
In those times, there were
plenty of stories like this.
But we have to catch them no matter what.
We dont have any other choice.
Go! Please understand. Go!
Sir, please save me!
Sir!
Sir!
Muthuvel!
Sir!
What happened, Muthuvel?
Them...!
Hey!
Calm down. Surrender yourself.
Hey!
James!
Where are you?
Muthuvel?
Hey, Muthuvel!
Muthuvel!
Muthuvel!
Hey, Muthuvel!
Peter!
Where did you go?
Sir, should we really go any further?
What happened? Already tired?
Come on.
Hey, Reji...
You still buy into those
tall tales people spin?
Sir, what are the locals
saying about this place?
Theyve got plenty of stories.
Many people have gone
missing in this forest.
The first missing case was reported
in our station back in 1960.
A girl who worked at a nearby estate.
The estate owner was a Portuguese lady.
People said she had some strange issues.
She married a man much younger than her.
That man was having an affair
with the girl who worked there.
The Portuguese lady
caught them red handed.
She dragged both of them into the
forest and dumped their bodies there.
Later, she also died.
People say all three of their
spirits still wander around here.
After I took charge, we recovered
a body from this forest once.
Almost around the same place
where we found the body today.
That man too... hadnt been dead for long.
The body had just started decomposing.
But...
That body had no head!
Arent you coming?
Sir, then what happened next?
What else could happen?
We couldnt identify the
body without the head.
Locals started spinning stories,
said it was that foreigner.
Who?
That man who supposedly
died almost 80 years ago!
Bloody nonsense,
their wild fantasies!
Then did you ever find the head, sir?
No chance.
We searched everywhere, but found nothing.
Back then, we never came
this deep into the forest.
Honestly, this is my first
time coming this far inside.
But back then, we did recover a skull.
Though it looked quite old.
Whose was it?
No idea.
It could have belonged to that foreigner.
Sir, shouldnt we inform
the forest authorities?
What? Are you scared too?
No...
According to him...
this falls under another state.
By the time we inform them and
they relay it to the forest department...
he might already be dead.
Were talking about saving a life here-
Can you hear me?
Have you arrived?
Where? Where are you? Were on the way.
Sir, theres a huge tree here.
Its covered with creepers...
Im right under it.
What?
Sir... err...
Its like a money plant, sir.
What plant?
Some kind of creeper! You heard me!?
Sir, can you hear me!?
Sir, about that hospital matter...
Yeah, let me try calling Joshy.
Hello, sir?
Joshy, whats the update?
Sir, he regained consciousness.
Hes blabbering without any sense.
Did you inform his family?
Yes, sir.
I didnt explain anything.
Just asked them to come.
Theyre near the border.
Theyll reach soon.
Inform me if theres anything else.
Okay, sir.
Listen, he regained
Sir, hello? Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Can you hear me?
Sir, can you hear me?
Hello? Hello?
Just handle this, man.
Sir, can you hear me?
Hello?
Sir...
Were near the temple.
Im somewhere close to it, sir.
Im nearby.
Nearby where?
Ask him for another landmark.
Sir... where exactly are you?
Sir its all trees here.
What do you expect
in a forest? Trees or ti--
Go on, go on.
Sir, is it left or right from here?
Sir, its left.
No, no! Right, sir.
Are you sure, sir?
Yes, sir. Its right.
Check that side.
Their ASI is calling.
Hello?
Hello, who is this?
Sir, Im Ashokan,
in charge at Velloorkadu station.
Yes, tell me, sir.
Sir, we received information this morning.
That an officer from your
station is trapped in this forest.
We tried contacting you.
Since we couldnt reach you,
we came here ourselves.
Forest?
Which area?
Sir, theres an old temple
deep inside the forest, right?
Seems to be near that.
Oh, temple? Which temple?
An old one with a crow statue.
Somewhere near that premises.
That place?
Where exactly are you now?
Were close to it.
Almost near the premises.
Have you lost your minds?
No one from here would ever go there.
First, leave that place immediately.
Sir, we spoke to him just a while ago.
Doesnt he have a name?
I think his name is Stephen.
Sir, you dont even know his name?
Why enter the forest
without basic clarity?
Its Stephen, sir.
Yes, his name is definitely Stephen.
No one here goes by that name!
First, get out of there!
Please!
Sir, can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Sir, are you still on the line?
Sir, its him.
Sir, this feels very off. Lets leave.
Where are you, sir?
Hey, where are you now?
Weve been wandering
around here for so long!
Who are you?
Sir, come on! My name is Stephen!
Are you really from Perumalai station?
Yes, sir.
When we called there, they said
no one named Stephen works there.
Who told you that?
Why would I lie to you
in a situation like this?
My name is Stephen George.
Im the Inspector of Perumalai Station.
Damn! Hold this!
Sir... please believe me.
Im telling you the truth, sir.
Sir...
I cant beg anymore.
My name is Stephen.
Sir, shall we call that ASI once more?
Please help me, sir.
If the caste issue escalates,
or if they file a complaint, inform me.
Understood?
Whats wrong with you, sir?
Havent you left that place yet?
Sir, please listen fully
to what Im saying.
This morning, there was an
accident on the forest route.
The victim was a police officer
named Peter from your station.
We admitted him to the hospital.
After some time,
a message came to his handset.
It said someone was
trapped in this forest.
The information we received said it was
SI Stephen George from Perumalai Station.
Apart from this,
we also recovered a body
from the forest this morning.
That too... of a policeman.
Sir, we suspect it might be someone
from Perumalai Police Station.
Sir, please understand what Im saying.
There was a meeting at our station today.
All of us were present.
There are only two SIs at our station.
One is Ram,
and the other is Principal SI Kumar.
There is no one named
Peter or Stephen at our station!
Then, sir... who are we talking to?
Why are you asking me all this?
Youre just wandering around for nothing!
And troubling me on top of that!
Sir, he sounds very sure.
Hes still on the line.
Please speak to him.
Sir?
Tell me, sir.
Sir, the ASI from your
station is on the call.
Please speak to him.
ASI?
Isnt it Muthuvel?
Muthuvel, its me- Stephen.
Where did all of you go!?
Im all alone here!
Where are the others?
Please come here quickly.
Wait... whats his full name again?
Stephen George, right?
Yes. Stephen George.
Ask the full name of that Muthuvel.
Sir, whats Muthuvels full name?
Why are you asking all that, sir?
Just tell us, sir!
Muthuvel Mariyappan.
Hello? Sir?
Sir...
There was an SI named
Stephen in our station.
But not now.
30 years ago!
He and his team went
missing in that forest.
To be exact...
It was on May 26, 1994.
Stephen, Muthuvel,
Peter, Muniswami, Selvam.
And that Muthuvel... is my father.
After that, no one has ever seen them.
To be very clear...
Theres no way theyre still alive.
Not just them...
No one who went there
ever came back alive.
Didnt I warn you?
That is a very dangerous place.
Get out of there immediately.
Muthuvel! Hey, Muthuvel! Can you hear me?
Hey! Say something!
Sir, are you coming? Im leaving!
Sir, maybe he got the wrong person.
Otherwise, how can someone trapped
30 years ago speak to us now over this?
Hey! Didnt you hear what he said?
Didnt it sink into your head?
Should we believe what someone told us,
or what we heard ourselves?
I told you from the start, sir...
We came here because of this moron!
Sir, dont abuse me for no reason.
What if I do?
Try calling me then!
Come on!
Move aside!
Someone begging for his
life made us enter this forest!
Ashokan wont leave this
place unless this is resolved!
Then you two stay and solve it yourselves!
Hey, Reji!
Hey!
Sir, sir...
Theres a big tree here
biggest one around.
Covered in thick creepers
Im right under it, sir.
Sir, I'm here!
Sir, can you hear me?
Can you hear me!?
Sir...
Did you see the tree?
Please say something, sir.
Sir! Sir!
Theres a body here, sir!
I actually tripped on that and fell down.
Sir...
A body...
Its a policemans body, sir!
Thats not our uniform
Its Kerala Police.
Kerala Police uniform!
This looks like a middle aged man, sir.
This is the body of an Inspector.
Name tag says Ashokan!
M.G. Ashokan!
Sir...
Please say something, sir!
Sir, were running out of time!
Sir...
When did you come here?
Its been around 2-3 hours.
Whats todays date?
Why are you asking that now?
Just tell me, sir!
May 26th...
Tell me the year, sir.
Hey, hurry up!
Careful, Mum.
Be careful.
Sir, wheres the ICU?
That way.
Come on, quick.
No, no.
We want to see, sir.
Why are you not letting us?
What are you saying, sir?
You can't see him. Leave with her.
Please let us in, sir.
Sir, we want to see, sir.
No, just move away!
Sir?
Sir?
Hello?
Sir...
The man who was
admitted to the hospital...
...has passed away.
Sir, theres another issue.
What is it?
Among the people who came
claiming to be his relatives,
there was a woman as well.
She looked to be around 50.
She could be his mother.
Thats what the hospital
staff assumed at first.
But...
she isnt his mother.
Then who is she?
I want to see Peter. Let me go inside.
Let us go in.
You cant create a scene here.
This is a hospital.
Please take your mother and step outside.
Sir, I cant.
You cant see him!
This is a hospital.
Dont create a disturbance!
Whats going on?
I need to see Peter,
but they wont let me in.
Whats the problem?
Sir...
They claim to be relatives of Peter,
who was admitted after an accident.
When I asked about their relation,
she said Peter is her husband.
So what?
Sir, didnt you see him?
Peter looks to be around 30 years.
This looks like a fraud case, sir.
Hey! Fraud, is it!?
Who are you calling a fraud?
Huh?
Who did you just call a fraud?!
We wont allow this here.
Quiet. Let me talk to them.
What happened to your husband?
He went missing in the forest.
When?
Thirty years ago.
Thirty years!?
Mum, the man inside barely 30 years old.
He cant be your husband.
What? Are you mocking us?
You were the ones
who called us here, right?
Yes, thats true.
But this isnt your person.
Wait a moment, sir.
You cant see him just like that.
Sir, sir...
Isn't the man inside the same?
Its the same person.
Just take her and leave.
Confirm its the same man?
Confirm! Now leave!
This is a hospital.
Dont create trouble here!
Sir, look at his date
of birth on this card.
How can someone born in
1959 still be only 30 years old!?
Sir he is my father!
Sir...
Theyre all confused.
What do we do now, sir?
Joshy...
Ill call you back, mate.
Saneesh, tell me.
Sir...
The forensic team had arrived
and started their examination.
Sir...
Is Reji sir with you?
No.
Sir, that body doesnt belong to
anyone from Perumalai station.
That body looks...
exactly like Reji sir.
Saneesh, are you drunk!?
No, sir.
Is Rashid there?
Hes not here, sir.
Who else is there?
Akash?
Yes, sir.
Put him on the phone.
Sir...
Hey, whats going on?
Sir, even after cleaning the face...
it still looked like Reji sir.
But we still thought...
it might be someone else.
But when we found
the ID card in his purse--
Sir, havent you seen Reji sirs ring?
Everything matches exactly.
Akash, wasnt Reji with us
when we went to see the body!?
Werent you right there with me!?
Yes, sir.
Then what the hell is going on here!?
Sir!
Sir...
Sir!
Ashokan sir!
Sir!
SIR!
Reji...
Reji...
Sir...
Reji sir, grab my hand!
Sir, hold my hand.
Pull him up!
Slowly.
Give your hand.
Reji, come on!
Sir...
Reji sir, give me your hand! Come on!
Sir!
Sir?
Sir?
James?
James, where are you?
Dont play with me. Come to me.
James?
Are you there?
Who are you?
What happened?
My brother...
My brother...
Hes missing.
Dont cry. Well find him.
Wait here, alright?
Dear, go!
Go!
Hey!
Who are you!?
Sir, Im police.
CPO from Velloorkadu station.
Im Stephen George.
SI, Perumalai station.
Accused escaped from our bus.
Im searching for them.
Sir!
Whats todays date?
May 26th.
And what year is it?
What? I didnt get you.
I asked, what year is this?
Are you playing games!?
Please, sir.
1994. So what now?
Sir, please save me!
Sir!
Sir!
Sir...
Muthuvel...
Sir...
Sir, sir.
What happened, Muthuvel?
These guys!
Hey, calm down and surrender yourself!
Kill him!
Who are you!?
James...
James?
Where are you hiding?
Don't be scared.
Come fast.
James...
Darling...
James...
Why are you so scared?
Come to me.
Come and kiss me
just like our first time.
Come on! Get up!
Sir, you look absolutely terrified.
Dont worry, sir.
There are no ghosts
roaming in this forest.
Who are you?
Sir, what exactly do you want to know?
Who I am or what is happening here?
Sir, did you notice an
idol on your way here?
Did you observe its head?
It was shaped like a crow.
Since entering this forest,
have you seen even a single crow?
No!
Every problem that happens
here revolves around that.
The origin of all this
goes back many years.
To be precise
to the time when the
Portuguese first arrived here.
Back then
this idol was worshipped by a
specific tribe living in this forest.
They believed crows as the symbol of God.
They would circle around this idol,
praying for prosperity for themselves
and their future generations.
If pregnant women prayed
here and fed the crows
they believed their unborn child
would be blessed with prosperity.
When Portuguese dominance
reached its peak
Lord Gabriel Antonio,
a rationalist who ruled this region
decided to erase every belief
that existed here until then.
He followed only one ideology.
Praise only for the King!
Worship was meant for the King alone.
He destroyed every place of worship here
and smuggled the valuable
idols out of this land.
Eventually, news about
this little known tribe
and their unique form of
worship reached the King.
So he entered this forest
with his full army.
To seize that idol!
No matter how much the tribe pleaded,
he refused to listen.
He ordered his forces to take
that idol away at any cost.
But no matter how hard they tried
they simply couldnt move it.
Furious at this,
the King ordered the
massacre of the tribe,
hacking them down and
shooting them mercilessly.
Even that wasnt enough for him.
He burned every crow in this forest.
That bloodshed was where
everything truly began.
The people believed
their deity would bring them
prosperity and good fortune.
But
no one realised it also
had power over time itself.
The King and his forces took nearly an hour
to reach the temple through this forest.
But after that massacre
they couldnt find their way
out, even after a full day.
One day turned into several days
then months
and eventually years.
Would you believe me if I said they are
still trapped, circling this forest?
The moment blood touched
this soil that day
the deity that had once
been calm and serene
transformed into a fierce, wrathful force.
From then on, every time
blood was spilled here
and whenever sound crossed
a certain limit
even time itself would begin
to distort in this place.
Everyone you saw or heard
here is not dead, sir
they are people trapped inside this loop.
From different eras of time.
How do you know all this?
I was the one who betrayed these people
and brought the King here.
A spy for the Portuguese army.
The main reason
behind this entire disaster!
Sir!
Sir!
There is only one way to escape this, sir.
The incident that brought me,
you, and everyone else here
must never happen!
Until we stop it
we will remain trapped in this loop!
Sir!
Ashokan sir!
SIR!
Reji!
Sir!
Reji!
Sir!
Sir, give me your hand.
Sir!
Reji sir, come on, hold the hand!
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Where are you going?
Hey!
Chechi!
Reji!
Chechi!
Hey, wait!
Chechi
Please stop.
Muthuvel!
Sir!
Sir!
Sir!
Reji sir!
Sir, wait!
Hey!
Sir
Please dont shoot.
Ill explain everything.
Sir, Im from the Kerala Police.
You need to leave this place immediately.
Why, sir?
The accused escaped from
our custody during transport.
We are searching for them.
We can deal with that later, sir.
First, you must leave this place.
I cant do that, sir.
Those rascals fired at
two policemen on duty.
Should we spare them
after crossing such limits?
Sir, please try to understand.
This is a dangerous place!
What is it, sir?
Are you also going to
repeat that stupid ghost story?
Sir!
If you dont leave now, you will
never see your wife and child again.
You are going to have a baby.
A baby boy.
Who are you!?
How do you know all this?
My name is Anand.
My mothers name is Sethulakshmi.
I dont have a father.
I haven't seen him until now.
I dont even know what happened to him.
But
Im starting to understand it,
piece by piece.
He went missing in
this forest 30 years ago.
And he never returned.
I have only seen my father in photographs.
This is my father.
Stephen George!
Oh
Do you need more proof?
May 26th, 1994.
My date of birth.
The day your son was born.
Now, the bats will start
screeching together.
And you will hear a sound from that side.
They are going to choke one of
the cops from your team to death.
If you go there right now
you can save him.
But
the moment you fire your gun
everything will begin
again from square one.
Sir, save me!
Muthuvel!
Sir!
What happened, Muthuvel?
Sir, sir!
Them!
Hey!
We cant just let them go, sir.
Why cant you understand?
Lets catch them once we get out of here.
Right now, all of us need
to leave this place first.
Please we need to get out of here.
Call the others who are with you.
Please dont shoot under any circumstance.
No blood should touch this ground.
Peter
If you move a little ahead from
where we split, theres a temple.
Come there quickly. Over.
Okay, sir. Over.
Dont tell sir about Selva for now.
If he finds out,
he wont leave without catching them.
But what if he asks?
Well make something up if so.
Sir
Which way should we go from here?
No matter which way we go from here,
we should be able to reach the road, sir.
Move ahead.
Sir!
Sir, lets try going through this route.
Come on, sir.
Anand
Careful.
Sir, maybe we should split up and move.
You take that route. Well go this way.
Anand
Be careful.
Come.
Didnt I already warn you wed be in
serious trouble if we came here, sir?
So, is there really no
way out of this place, sir?
I know someone who actually
made it out of here alive.
Didnt you say we could get out no
matter which direction we walked?
Now lets try circling around this one.
Come on, lets move.
Hello?
Sir...
I think weve reached
somewhere close to the road.
Wheres Muthuvel?
Muthuvel!
Hey, Muthuvel!
Muthuvel...
Muthuvel!
Hey, Muthuvel!
Sir...
We shouldnt stay here any longer.
Come.
Lets go.
From now on, we move only as a group!
Hey!
Peter, are you alright?
Come on, you!
Sir, lets move.
Anand, come on, lets go.
Hey, Peter!
Peter...
Peter!
What happened, Peter?
Hey, Peter!
I cant move forward, sir.
Peter...
Im fine now, sir.
Get up.
Sir...
Its coming from that side, sir.
Come.
Sir...
Isnt it coming from that direction?
Sir, Im certain its from there.
Yes, its from there.
Hey, hes trying to confuse us, sir!
Its from this side, Anand.
Sir, we just heard the sound from there.
Who are you? Why are you misleading us?
Hey, Peter!
Just listen to me.
Who the hell is he, sir?
Why are you even trusting him?
Weve come this far
because of what you said...
Everyone who was with us is dead.
Now its just us left.
Do you want us dead too?
That crows call came
from that side, right?
Come on!
What? Couldnt you
find any better way to die?
We are police officers, man!
Whats todays date?
Sir... May... 26th.
Year?
94, sir.
Sir, is there some problem?
Get in.
Careful.
Anand, arent you coming?
I cant survive here like this.
Go and see your baby.
Stay with him.
Growing up without a father is very hard.
Anand...
what happened?
Nothing.
Neethu's bystander?
Dad...
Its a girl.
Neethu?
She's fine.
Sir, which station were
you posted at before this?
Udayamperoor.
Oh...
Benny sir is still there, right?
Yeah. How do you know him?
I was posted there in 2019.
Its been a long time
since I spoke to him.
How long have you been here?
Almost a year.
Its very peaceful here, sir.
Is Perumalai station nearby?
Yes, sir.
Sir, after this border, its their area.
Why did you ask, sir?
My dad was an inspector there.
Is your dad a Tamilian?
So you must know Tamil very well, right?
No...
My mom is a Malayali.
Ive been in Kerala since childhood.
Sir, isnt that Ashokan sirs car?
Yes, it is.
Sir...
What happened, sir?
My car broke down, man.
Sir... our new SI.
Sir, Im Ashokan.
I received a mail saying
youd be joining today.
I started earlier to reach there,
but my car ran into trouble.
Rajesh from the workshop
will be here soon...
Once he arrives, get this fixed
and take the car to the station.
Okay, sir.
Sir, Ill also come to the station.
Call me if there's anything.
Lets go.
Sir, where is your hometown?
Kochi.
Oh!
So youre a Kochi folk?
Sir, your family?
Mom, dad, wife, and daughter.
How old is your daughter?
She was born recently.
Wow, then you owe us a treat, sir!
Yes, Rasheed, tell me.
Sir, theres an issue.
What issue?
While passing through the forest road...
We noticed a vehicle parked
suspiciously and checked it.
Some youngsters were inside.
They were trying to shoot a video.
Theyre Tamilians, sir.
There are 1-2 girls with them as well.
Sir, he has stepped in and blocked them!
Who? Reji?
Yes, sir.
Looks like those guys have
some influence over higher officials.
I dont think I can handle this alone.
Sir, can you come here quickly?
Whats wrong with him?
What happened, sir?
No, nothing.
Shouldnt you be more careful, man!?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Hello? Hello?
Are you okay?
Come, help me!
Sir, open the door!
Move inside, move inside!
Sir, move inside!
Go, start the vehicle quickly!
Hey, breathe.
Have you seen this girl before?
No, sir.
Sir, go faster!
Hey, open your eyes!
Floor it, man!
Sir, take her phone. Check her
recent calls and contact someone.
Go, go!
Hey!
Hey!
Dad...
Hey!
Sir, stop the vehicle.
Hello?
Neethu...
Where is our daughter?
Im trying to make her sleep,
but shes very cranky.
Did you reach there?
Hello?
Cant you hear me?
Hello?
What happened?
Nothing.
Hey, are you okay?
There is only one way to escape this, sir.
The incident that brought me,
you, and everyone else here
must not happen!
Until we stop it...
we will remain trapped in this loop!
The stars obey his silent call
The night kneels, the ages fall
He turns the wheel no eye can see
The past and future bend to decree
With time, the incident
faded into deeper layers
You are the time,
and you are the end of it all
With time, the incident
faded into deeper layers
You are the time,
and you are the end of it all
Every breath a moment dies
Every blink a world replies
He weaves the hours with silent thread
Between the living and the dead
O' the god of time
O' the supreme one
who burns eternal within the darkness
When he sleeps, time dies
When he wakes, the worlds arise
I have a really bad
feeling about this place.
So, lets get out of here
as quickly as possible.
Bring her alone.
I don't want them
together even after death.
Bring him!
Go find him.
James...
James, where are you?
Don't play with me.
Come to me.
James...
where are you hiding?
Come near me.
James...
why are you so scared?
Come to me.
Come and kiss me!
Just like our first time!
Come on! Get up!
'SAMBHAVAM ADHYAYAM ONNU'
[THE INCIDENT CHAPTER ONE]
Why the hell didnt you shoot?
James...
Where are you?
Neethus bystander?
Is Neethus bystander here?
Yes.
The doctor is calling you.
Please go inside.
Ill update you.
Have a seat.
Everything okay?
Hey, dont worry.
Shes doing better now.
Her due date is next
month, the 24th, right?
Lets plan to admit her on the 23rd.
Come immediately if you notice
any pain or discomfort before then.
Anand, why do you look so tense?
You seem more worried than Neethu.
No
Are you stressed?
No, no.
Neethu is fine. Dont worry at all.
Alright then.
You stay put. Ill handle it.
As if folding two clothes
is some huge task!
Ive kept some money inside.
I have no choice but to go.
Anyway, we still have one month, right?
Ill go there, check the situation
and return once the medicals done.
Why are you overthinking this?
I can handle things here.
Moreover, aunty is here to help me.
Call him if anything comes up.
Sir, get ready. Its time to leave.
Eat on time, okay?
Come on, get ready to go.
Go go.
Are you sure youre okay?
Im fine. Go ahead.
Dont worry about me.
Okay?
Hey, get down here.
So, he went to the Gulf, huh?
Chetta, one tea, please.
How do I get to Velloorkadu?
Just get into that jeep.
Yeah, go ahead.
Hey, have you reached?
Not yet.
Listen, she had some mild pain.
So were at the hospital now.
What did the doctor say?!
Theres a slight complication.
Theyre saying the delivery
might have to be done today itself.
Ill come there right away.
No need.
You go ahead and join.
You cant get here anytime soon anyway.
I just called to let you know.
No need to worry.
Aunty is there, right?
Yes.
Dont worry. Ill keep you posted.
Okay.
If youre coming,
just get into the vehicle.
Chetta, cancel the tea.
Huh?
Where are you barging in!?
Get in the backside!
Who the heck is he?
Are you hungry?
Whats wrong, sir?
Nothing.
Is your SIM BSNL?
No.
Only BSNL gets signal here.
If its urgent,
you can call from this phone.
Go on, make the call.
No need.
If youre planning to call
your wife or someone...
its better not to call from his phone.
Right, Shaji?
Ignore them. You go ahead, sir.
Not answering?
No.
Sir...
Hello?
Why arent you answering me?
Neethu?
Okay.
Ive become a father.
Wow!
Thats wonderful news.
Boy or girl?
Its a girl.
Uncles been blessed with a baby girl.
Congrats, Uncle.
Thank you.
Which grade are you in, dear?
4th standard.
Ah, nice!
Shaji, listen...
Did you hear about Ittichans daughter?
Heard shes shacked up
with someone in Bangalore.
And also...
Makes you wonder why we even
bother educating girls these days.
Kid!
Hey, open.
Chetta!
Wheres the closest hospital?
Not close. Well have to go a bit.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
Let the police come, you moron!
Im the damn police, you moron!
Hold him!
Come on.
Careful.
Open the door.
Chetta, open the door. Ill hold him.
Start the vehicle.
Uncle...
Dear, go sit in the front.
Hey, move aside!
Get a rickshaw or something!
Come on, man, lets go!
Sir!
Please, sit.
Anandu, right?
Anand, sir.
Yeah.
Thats what I said.
Where are you from in Kerala?
Kochi.
So, youre a Kochi folk?
Sir...
Sir, I got this from him.
Who? The guy who
just met with the accident?
Peter John...
Well...
well have to report this...
at Perumalai station.
Take a photo of this.
Might come in handy later.
Sir, he seems to be alright.
But he has lost some blood.
Didnt you inform his family?
I will.
Wait till they get here.
And those jeep people...
Let them go only after
completing all the formalities.
Theres a reason for that.
Did you have tea?
No.
Come.
We get top notch tea in the canteen here.
Come, lets grab some tea.
Come on.
Yeah, tell me.
Your family?
Just my wife.
No now I have a baby girl too.
How old is your daughter?
She was born today, just a few hours back.
Then he owes us a treat, sir.
Why not?
So you havent even
seen your daughter yet?
Do one thing
just go back.
Join first, then head back.
No, sir. Its fine.
Wait
Here's better...
Go back on Sunday.
Take a couple of days and then come back.
Its not like youve got some
huge responsibility here!
No better place to get transferred anyway!
Yeah yeah.
A disciplinary action, huh?
Youre not a troublemaker, right?
No, sir
We faced complications
during my wifes pregnancy.
Almost every day after duty,
I couldnt sleep because of the tension.
Then one day, I was on
guard duty and I dozed off.
I missed saluting the SHO
when he came in.
No wonder
No wonder you put on a whole show
when I walked in.
Listen
Respect should reflect in your conduct.
Not just in snapping a salute
the moment you see someone.
We dont follow that culture here.
What about your parents?
Ive never seen my father.
He was also in the police department.
He passed away just before I was born.
That shock broke my mother mentally.
Didnt take long she left too.
Since it was a love marriage,
my wifes family doesnt talk to us.
Now that you have a child
things will slowly fall into place.
Wasnt very different for me either.
Really?
Yeah!
He was in love with a girl.
Her father was hell bent on
stopping the marriage at any cost.
Ready to kill him if it came to that.
We didnt think twice.
Taking the girl out of her house,
getting them married
And sending them
straight to their first night
Handled top to bottom
by the Kerala Police!
But now
He and his father in law
are thick as thieves.
Thats all it takes, Anandu.
Everything will be alright.
Yes, Rasheed?
Sir, theres an issue.
What issue?
While passing through the forest road
We noticed a vehicle parked
suspiciously and checked it.
Some youngsters were inside.
They were trying to shoot some video.
Theyre Tamilians, sir.
There are 1-2 girls with them too.
Sir, hes stepped in and blocked them!
Who? Reji?
Yes, sir.
Looks like they have
influence at higher levels.
I dont think I can handle this.
Sir, can you come here quickly?
What the hell is wrong with him!?
Please dont create trouble.
The SI will be here soon.
Why should I talk to him, sir?
Even now, we are standing in our area.
Son, just listen to me.
Beyond this point, only the
Forest Department has permission.
This is a restricted zone.
Sir, I understand that.
But why is he yelling at me like that?
Who is he? Some forest ranger?
Tell him to calm down first.
Or you cant imagine what happens next!
Listen, this area falls
under our fathers control.
If you create trouble for us here
You can forget about
wearing that uniform again!
If you want to keep your job,
leave right now!
What is it, Dad?
Didnt I tell you Ill call you later!?
Hey, let go of my hand!
Switch it off!
I said switch it off now!
Didnt I warn you clearly
the first time, you wretches!?
Get out of here right now!
Reji, Reji, no!
Reji, stop!
Hey, no!
Reji!
Reji, stop!
Listen to me!
Where?
A little deeper inside, sir.
Did you identify the person?
No, sir.
Something has chewed off his face.
And his clothes are
soaked in mud too, sir.
Looks like he fell into a marsh.
Did you inform forensics?
Theyre on the way, sir.
Itll take some time to reach here.
Whats gotten into you?
You seem more damn bothered
than the Forest Department!
Just because I gave you some freedom,
dont push your luck with me!
Did you collect their details?
Yes, sir.
Sir doesnt that look
like a policemans body?
Shouldnt we probe that angle?
Oh, as if were idiots!
Thats a policeman from
Perumalai station, sir.
But theyre not answering calls right now.
Whos this?
Im the new CPO, sir.
Hey, do you have the number
of anyone from Perumalai station?
No, sir.
Sir, I have an ASIs number from there.
Give it.
2-0
2-0
9-5-0-3
9-5-0-3.
You try reaching them too.
Okay, sir.
Report to the station when
the forensic team arrives.
Ill be at the station.
Ill come along.
If anything comes up, call me.
Move in.
Hey, Peter!
Muthuvel!
PETER!
MUTHUVEL!
Can anyone hear me?
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME!?
P3 calling, P3 calling!
Can anyone hear me?
I repeat, can anyone hear me?
Sir!
Hello!?
Isnt this that officers handset?
Can anyone hear me?
We came into this forest as a team, sir.
Now the rest are missing.
I'm the only one left.
Please save me somehow, sir.
Hello?
Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!
My name is Stephen, sir. Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can. I can hear you.
My leg is injured, sir.
Feels like Im dying from the pain.
Please do something, sir.
Sir, this is Kerala Police.
One officer from your department has
met with an accident on the forest road.
His handset is currently
with the Kerala Police.
Inform your control room
or report to your station.
Sir sir please listen to me, sir.
I'm trying for a long while.
But no one's answering.
I cant even move, sir.
Ive lost a lot of blood
I'm near the temple, sir.
Please come help me, sir.
Sir, this is risky.
Its outside our limits.
On top of that, we wont understand
anything if we get deep inside it.
Sir...
are you here, sir?
Please speak something, sir.
Pull over the jeep.
Hey, do you have network?
No, sir.
What the heck is wrong with him!?
Thats a policeman screaming for life, sir.
Sir...
are you in line?
Sir...
I'm gonna have a baby, sir.
After years of waiting
If you help me
I can at least see my child.
Im begging you like youre God, sir.
Sir, please sir!
Switch off that damn thing.
Hey, start the vehicle.
Sir, he says hes lost a lot of blood.
If we dont help him now,
hell bleed out to death there, sir.
So what?
Thats not our responsibility.
Sir, I know it isnt.
But if we act now,
he might at least live to see his child.
Its a life, sir.
What nonsense are you talking?
Have you ever stepped
into this forest before?
Im a local around here.
Sir, this place is dangerous!
If you want to go in trusting
some random guy, go ahead.
Im not coming.
Sir, are you scared?
Scared?
Me?
Sir!
Hey!
Hey, move away!
What are you doing?
Ill shoot him down!
Put the gun down.
Come on, let me go!
Hey, hand over that gun!
Listen to me. Put the gun down!
Ill kill him! I swear I will!
Hey, unlock this!
Don't shoot!
Tell him to unlock this!
Hey, hurry up!
Go, go!
Hey, stop right there!
Come on!
Hey, are you okay!?
Peter, wheres the first aid box?
Ill get it right away, sir.
Das
Are you okay?
Peter!
If you see them, dont shoot.
Inform me first.
Sir, do we really need to go further?
Sir
I dont believe in ghosts
or evil spirits that much.
But ever since we entered here,
something feels very wrong.
Sir
Since my childhood
there's a story everyone in the
village keeps talking about, sir.
Many years ago, there was a temple here.
To drive away bad times
and bring good fortune
People used to pray to that deity.
The day people began
offering human sacrifices
That was the day all the troubles began.
From that day onwards, on this soil
No blood should be spilled
And no sound should cross a certain limit.
Muthuvel, you go that way.
Ill take this route.
Oh no, sir, please listen
to me for heavens sake!
Hey, Muthuvel
In those times, there were
plenty of stories like this.
But we have to catch them no matter what.
We dont have any other choice.
Go! Please understand. Go!
Sir, please save me!
Sir!
Sir!
Muthuvel!
Sir!
What happened, Muthuvel?
Them...!
Hey!
Calm down. Surrender yourself.
Hey!
James!
Where are you?
Muthuvel?
Hey, Muthuvel!
Muthuvel!
Muthuvel!
Hey, Muthuvel!
Peter!
Where did you go?
Sir, should we really go any further?
What happened? Already tired?
Come on.
Hey, Reji...
You still buy into those
tall tales people spin?
Sir, what are the locals
saying about this place?
Theyve got plenty of stories.
Many people have gone
missing in this forest.
The first missing case was reported
in our station back in 1960.
A girl who worked at a nearby estate.
The estate owner was a Portuguese lady.
People said she had some strange issues.
She married a man much younger than her.
That man was having an affair
with the girl who worked there.
The Portuguese lady
caught them red handed.
She dragged both of them into the
forest and dumped their bodies there.
Later, she also died.
People say all three of their
spirits still wander around here.
After I took charge, we recovered
a body from this forest once.
Almost around the same place
where we found the body today.
That man too... hadnt been dead for long.
The body had just started decomposing.
But...
That body had no head!
Arent you coming?
Sir, then what happened next?
What else could happen?
We couldnt identify the
body without the head.
Locals started spinning stories,
said it was that foreigner.
Who?
That man who supposedly
died almost 80 years ago!
Bloody nonsense,
their wild fantasies!
Then did you ever find the head, sir?
No chance.
We searched everywhere, but found nothing.
Back then, we never came
this deep into the forest.
Honestly, this is my first
time coming this far inside.
But back then, we did recover a skull.
Though it looked quite old.
Whose was it?
No idea.
It could have belonged to that foreigner.
Sir, shouldnt we inform
the forest authorities?
What? Are you scared too?
No...
According to him...
this falls under another state.
By the time we inform them and
they relay it to the forest department...
he might already be dead.
Were talking about saving a life here-
Can you hear me?
Have you arrived?
Where? Where are you? Were on the way.
Sir, theres a huge tree here.
Its covered with creepers...
Im right under it.
What?
Sir... err...
Its like a money plant, sir.
What plant?
Some kind of creeper! You heard me!?
Sir, can you hear me!?
Sir, about that hospital matter...
Yeah, let me try calling Joshy.
Hello, sir?
Joshy, whats the update?
Sir, he regained consciousness.
Hes blabbering without any sense.
Did you inform his family?
Yes, sir.
I didnt explain anything.
Just asked them to come.
Theyre near the border.
Theyll reach soon.
Inform me if theres anything else.
Okay, sir.
Listen, he regained
Sir, hello? Hello?
Hello? Hello?
Can you hear me?
Sir, can you hear me?
Hello? Hello?
Just handle this, man.
Sir, can you hear me?
Hello?
Sir...
Were near the temple.
Im somewhere close to it, sir.
Im nearby.
Nearby where?
Ask him for another landmark.
Sir... where exactly are you?
Sir its all trees here.
What do you expect
in a forest? Trees or ti--
Go on, go on.
Sir, is it left or right from here?
Sir, its left.
No, no! Right, sir.
Are you sure, sir?
Yes, sir. Its right.
Check that side.
Their ASI is calling.
Hello?
Hello, who is this?
Sir, Im Ashokan,
in charge at Velloorkadu station.
Yes, tell me, sir.
Sir, we received information this morning.
That an officer from your
station is trapped in this forest.
We tried contacting you.
Since we couldnt reach you,
we came here ourselves.
Forest?
Which area?
Sir, theres an old temple
deep inside the forest, right?
Seems to be near that.
Oh, temple? Which temple?
An old one with a crow statue.
Somewhere near that premises.
That place?
Where exactly are you now?
Were close to it.
Almost near the premises.
Have you lost your minds?
No one from here would ever go there.
First, leave that place immediately.
Sir, we spoke to him just a while ago.
Doesnt he have a name?
I think his name is Stephen.
Sir, you dont even know his name?
Why enter the forest
without basic clarity?
Its Stephen, sir.
Yes, his name is definitely Stephen.
No one here goes by that name!
First, get out of there!
Please!
Sir, can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Sir, are you still on the line?
Sir, its him.
Sir, this feels very off. Lets leave.
Where are you, sir?
Hey, where are you now?
Weve been wandering
around here for so long!
Who are you?
Sir, come on! My name is Stephen!
Are you really from Perumalai station?
Yes, sir.
When we called there, they said
no one named Stephen works there.
Who told you that?
Why would I lie to you
in a situation like this?
My name is Stephen George.
Im the Inspector of Perumalai Station.
Damn! Hold this!
Sir... please believe me.
Im telling you the truth, sir.
Sir...
I cant beg anymore.
My name is Stephen.
Sir, shall we call that ASI once more?
Please help me, sir.
If the caste issue escalates,
or if they file a complaint, inform me.
Understood?
Whats wrong with you, sir?
Havent you left that place yet?
Sir, please listen fully
to what Im saying.
This morning, there was an
accident on the forest route.
The victim was a police officer
named Peter from your station.
We admitted him to the hospital.
After some time,
a message came to his handset.
It said someone was
trapped in this forest.
The information we received said it was
SI Stephen George from Perumalai Station.
Apart from this,
we also recovered a body
from the forest this morning.
That too... of a policeman.
Sir, we suspect it might be someone
from Perumalai Police Station.
Sir, please understand what Im saying.
There was a meeting at our station today.
All of us were present.
There are only two SIs at our station.
One is Ram,
and the other is Principal SI Kumar.
There is no one named
Peter or Stephen at our station!
Then, sir... who are we talking to?
Why are you asking me all this?
Youre just wandering around for nothing!
And troubling me on top of that!
Sir, he sounds very sure.
Hes still on the line.
Please speak to him.
Sir?
Tell me, sir.
Sir, the ASI from your
station is on the call.
Please speak to him.
ASI?
Isnt it Muthuvel?
Muthuvel, its me- Stephen.
Where did all of you go!?
Im all alone here!
Where are the others?
Please come here quickly.
Wait... whats his full name again?
Stephen George, right?
Yes. Stephen George.
Ask the full name of that Muthuvel.
Sir, whats Muthuvels full name?
Why are you asking all that, sir?
Just tell us, sir!
Muthuvel Mariyappan.
Hello? Sir?
Sir...
There was an SI named
Stephen in our station.
But not now.
30 years ago!
He and his team went
missing in that forest.
To be exact...
It was on May 26, 1994.
Stephen, Muthuvel,
Peter, Muniswami, Selvam.
And that Muthuvel... is my father.
After that, no one has ever seen them.
To be very clear...
Theres no way theyre still alive.
Not just them...
No one who went there
ever came back alive.
Didnt I warn you?
That is a very dangerous place.
Get out of there immediately.
Muthuvel! Hey, Muthuvel! Can you hear me?
Hey! Say something!
Sir, are you coming? Im leaving!
Sir, maybe he got the wrong person.
Otherwise, how can someone trapped
30 years ago speak to us now over this?
Hey! Didnt you hear what he said?
Didnt it sink into your head?
Should we believe what someone told us,
or what we heard ourselves?
I told you from the start, sir...
We came here because of this moron!
Sir, dont abuse me for no reason.
What if I do?
Try calling me then!
Come on!
Move aside!
Someone begging for his
life made us enter this forest!
Ashokan wont leave this
place unless this is resolved!
Then you two stay and solve it yourselves!
Hey, Reji!
Hey!
Sir, sir...
Theres a big tree here
biggest one around.
Covered in thick creepers
Im right under it, sir.
Sir, I'm here!
Sir, can you hear me?
Can you hear me!?
Sir...
Did you see the tree?
Please say something, sir.
Sir! Sir!
Theres a body here, sir!
I actually tripped on that and fell down.
Sir...
A body...
Its a policemans body, sir!
Thats not our uniform
Its Kerala Police.
Kerala Police uniform!
This looks like a middle aged man, sir.
This is the body of an Inspector.
Name tag says Ashokan!
M.G. Ashokan!
Sir...
Please say something, sir!
Sir, were running out of time!
Sir...
When did you come here?
Its been around 2-3 hours.
Whats todays date?
Why are you asking that now?
Just tell me, sir!
May 26th...
Tell me the year, sir.
Hey, hurry up!
Careful, Mum.
Be careful.
Sir, wheres the ICU?
That way.
Come on, quick.
No, no.
We want to see, sir.
Why are you not letting us?
What are you saying, sir?
You can't see him. Leave with her.
Please let us in, sir.
Sir, we want to see, sir.
No, just move away!
Sir?
Sir?
Hello?
Sir...
The man who was
admitted to the hospital...
...has passed away.
Sir, theres another issue.
What is it?
Among the people who came
claiming to be his relatives,
there was a woman as well.
She looked to be around 50.
She could be his mother.
Thats what the hospital
staff assumed at first.
But...
she isnt his mother.
Then who is she?
I want to see Peter. Let me go inside.
Let us go in.
You cant create a scene here.
This is a hospital.
Please take your mother and step outside.
Sir, I cant.
You cant see him!
This is a hospital.
Dont create a disturbance!
Whats going on?
I need to see Peter,
but they wont let me in.
Whats the problem?
Sir...
They claim to be relatives of Peter,
who was admitted after an accident.
When I asked about their relation,
she said Peter is her husband.
So what?
Sir, didnt you see him?
Peter looks to be around 30 years.
This looks like a fraud case, sir.
Hey! Fraud, is it!?
Who are you calling a fraud?
Huh?
Who did you just call a fraud?!
We wont allow this here.
Quiet. Let me talk to them.
What happened to your husband?
He went missing in the forest.
When?
Thirty years ago.
Thirty years!?
Mum, the man inside barely 30 years old.
He cant be your husband.
What? Are you mocking us?
You were the ones
who called us here, right?
Yes, thats true.
But this isnt your person.
Wait a moment, sir.
You cant see him just like that.
Sir, sir...
Isn't the man inside the same?
Its the same person.
Just take her and leave.
Confirm its the same man?
Confirm! Now leave!
This is a hospital.
Dont create trouble here!
Sir, look at his date
of birth on this card.
How can someone born in
1959 still be only 30 years old!?
Sir he is my father!
Sir...
Theyre all confused.
What do we do now, sir?
Joshy...
Ill call you back, mate.
Saneesh, tell me.
Sir...
The forensic team had arrived
and started their examination.
Sir...
Is Reji sir with you?
No.
Sir, that body doesnt belong to
anyone from Perumalai station.
That body looks...
exactly like Reji sir.
Saneesh, are you drunk!?
No, sir.
Is Rashid there?
Hes not here, sir.
Who else is there?
Akash?
Yes, sir.
Put him on the phone.
Sir...
Hey, whats going on?
Sir, even after cleaning the face...
it still looked like Reji sir.
But we still thought...
it might be someone else.
But when we found
the ID card in his purse--
Sir, havent you seen Reji sirs ring?
Everything matches exactly.
Akash, wasnt Reji with us
when we went to see the body!?
Werent you right there with me!?
Yes, sir.
Then what the hell is going on here!?
Sir!
Sir...
Sir!
Ashokan sir!
Sir!
SIR!
Reji...
Reji...
Sir...
Reji sir, grab my hand!
Sir, hold my hand.
Pull him up!
Slowly.
Give your hand.
Reji, come on!
Sir...
Reji sir, give me your hand! Come on!
Sir!
Sir?
Sir?
James?
James, where are you?
Dont play with me. Come to me.
James?
Are you there?
Who are you?
What happened?
My brother...
My brother...
Hes missing.
Dont cry. Well find him.
Wait here, alright?
Dear, go!
Go!
Hey!
Who are you!?
Sir, Im police.
CPO from Velloorkadu station.
Im Stephen George.
SI, Perumalai station.
Accused escaped from our bus.
Im searching for them.
Sir!
Whats todays date?
May 26th.
And what year is it?
What? I didnt get you.
I asked, what year is this?
Are you playing games!?
Please, sir.
1994. So what now?
Sir, please save me!
Sir!
Sir!
Sir...
Muthuvel...
Sir...
Sir, sir.
What happened, Muthuvel?
These guys!
Hey, calm down and surrender yourself!
Kill him!
Who are you!?
James...
James?
Where are you hiding?
Don't be scared.
Come fast.
James...
Darling...
James...
Why are you so scared?
Come to me.
Come and kiss me
just like our first time.
Come on! Get up!
Sir, you look absolutely terrified.
Dont worry, sir.
There are no ghosts
roaming in this forest.
Who are you?
Sir, what exactly do you want to know?
Who I am or what is happening here?
Sir, did you notice an
idol on your way here?
Did you observe its head?
It was shaped like a crow.
Since entering this forest,
have you seen even a single crow?
No!
Every problem that happens
here revolves around that.
The origin of all this
goes back many years.
To be precise
to the time when the
Portuguese first arrived here.
Back then
this idol was worshipped by a
specific tribe living in this forest.
They believed crows as the symbol of God.
They would circle around this idol,
praying for prosperity for themselves
and their future generations.
If pregnant women prayed
here and fed the crows
they believed their unborn child
would be blessed with prosperity.
When Portuguese dominance
reached its peak
Lord Gabriel Antonio,
a rationalist who ruled this region
decided to erase every belief
that existed here until then.
He followed only one ideology.
Praise only for the King!
Worship was meant for the King alone.
He destroyed every place of worship here
and smuggled the valuable
idols out of this land.
Eventually, news about
this little known tribe
and their unique form of
worship reached the King.
So he entered this forest
with his full army.
To seize that idol!
No matter how much the tribe pleaded,
he refused to listen.
He ordered his forces to take
that idol away at any cost.
But no matter how hard they tried
they simply couldnt move it.
Furious at this,
the King ordered the
massacre of the tribe,
hacking them down and
shooting them mercilessly.
Even that wasnt enough for him.
He burned every crow in this forest.
That bloodshed was where
everything truly began.
The people believed
their deity would bring them
prosperity and good fortune.
But
no one realised it also
had power over time itself.
The King and his forces took nearly an hour
to reach the temple through this forest.
But after that massacre
they couldnt find their way
out, even after a full day.
One day turned into several days
then months
and eventually years.
Would you believe me if I said they are
still trapped, circling this forest?
The moment blood touched
this soil that day
the deity that had once
been calm and serene
transformed into a fierce, wrathful force.
From then on, every time
blood was spilled here
and whenever sound crossed
a certain limit
even time itself would begin
to distort in this place.
Everyone you saw or heard
here is not dead, sir
they are people trapped inside this loop.
From different eras of time.
How do you know all this?
I was the one who betrayed these people
and brought the King here.
A spy for the Portuguese army.
The main reason
behind this entire disaster!
Sir!
Sir!
There is only one way to escape this, sir.
The incident that brought me,
you, and everyone else here
must never happen!
Until we stop it
we will remain trapped in this loop!
Sir!
Ashokan sir!
SIR!
Reji!
Sir!
Reji!
Sir!
Sir, give me your hand.
Sir!
Reji sir, come on, hold the hand!
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Where are you going?
Hey!
Chechi!
Reji!
Chechi!
Hey, wait!
Chechi
Please stop.
Muthuvel!
Sir!
Sir!
Sir!
Reji sir!
Sir, wait!
Hey!
Sir
Please dont shoot.
Ill explain everything.
Sir, Im from the Kerala Police.
You need to leave this place immediately.
Why, sir?
The accused escaped from
our custody during transport.
We are searching for them.
We can deal with that later, sir.
First, you must leave this place.
I cant do that, sir.
Those rascals fired at
two policemen on duty.
Should we spare them
after crossing such limits?
Sir, please try to understand.
This is a dangerous place!
What is it, sir?
Are you also going to
repeat that stupid ghost story?
Sir!
If you dont leave now, you will
never see your wife and child again.
You are going to have a baby.
A baby boy.
Who are you!?
How do you know all this?
My name is Anand.
My mothers name is Sethulakshmi.
I dont have a father.
I haven't seen him until now.
I dont even know what happened to him.
But
Im starting to understand it,
piece by piece.
He went missing in
this forest 30 years ago.
And he never returned.
I have only seen my father in photographs.
This is my father.
Stephen George!
Oh
Do you need more proof?
May 26th, 1994.
My date of birth.
The day your son was born.
Now, the bats will start
screeching together.
And you will hear a sound from that side.
They are going to choke one of
the cops from your team to death.
If you go there right now
you can save him.
But
the moment you fire your gun
everything will begin
again from square one.
Sir, save me!
Muthuvel!
Sir!
What happened, Muthuvel?
Sir, sir!
Them!
Hey!
We cant just let them go, sir.
Why cant you understand?
Lets catch them once we get out of here.
Right now, all of us need
to leave this place first.
Please we need to get out of here.
Call the others who are with you.
Please dont shoot under any circumstance.
No blood should touch this ground.
Peter
If you move a little ahead from
where we split, theres a temple.
Come there quickly. Over.
Okay, sir. Over.
Dont tell sir about Selva for now.
If he finds out,
he wont leave without catching them.
But what if he asks?
Well make something up if so.
Sir
Which way should we go from here?
No matter which way we go from here,
we should be able to reach the road, sir.
Move ahead.
Sir!
Sir, lets try going through this route.
Come on, sir.
Anand
Careful.
Sir, maybe we should split up and move.
You take that route. Well go this way.
Anand
Be careful.
Come.
Didnt I already warn you wed be in
serious trouble if we came here, sir?
So, is there really no
way out of this place, sir?
I know someone who actually
made it out of here alive.
Didnt you say we could get out no
matter which direction we walked?
Now lets try circling around this one.
Come on, lets move.
Hello?
Sir...
I think weve reached
somewhere close to the road.
Wheres Muthuvel?
Muthuvel!
Hey, Muthuvel!
Muthuvel...
Muthuvel!
Hey, Muthuvel!
Sir...
We shouldnt stay here any longer.
Come.
Lets go.
From now on, we move only as a group!
Hey!
Peter, are you alright?
Come on, you!
Sir, lets move.
Anand, come on, lets go.
Hey, Peter!
Peter...
Peter!
What happened, Peter?
Hey, Peter!
I cant move forward, sir.
Peter...
Im fine now, sir.
Get up.
Sir...
Its coming from that side, sir.
Come.
Sir...
Isnt it coming from that direction?
Sir, Im certain its from there.
Yes, its from there.
Hey, hes trying to confuse us, sir!
Its from this side, Anand.
Sir, we just heard the sound from there.
Who are you? Why are you misleading us?
Hey, Peter!
Just listen to me.
Who the hell is he, sir?
Why are you even trusting him?
Weve come this far
because of what you said...
Everyone who was with us is dead.
Now its just us left.
Do you want us dead too?
That crows call came
from that side, right?
Come on!
What? Couldnt you
find any better way to die?
We are police officers, man!
Whats todays date?
Sir... May... 26th.
Year?
94, sir.
Sir, is there some problem?
Get in.
Careful.
Anand, arent you coming?
I cant survive here like this.
Go and see your baby.
Stay with him.
Growing up without a father is very hard.
Anand...
what happened?
Nothing.
Neethu's bystander?
Dad...
Its a girl.
Neethu?
She's fine.
Sir, which station were
you posted at before this?
Udayamperoor.
Oh...
Benny sir is still there, right?
Yeah. How do you know him?
I was posted there in 2019.
Its been a long time
since I spoke to him.
How long have you been here?
Almost a year.
Its very peaceful here, sir.
Is Perumalai station nearby?
Yes, sir.
Sir, after this border, its their area.
Why did you ask, sir?
My dad was an inspector there.
Is your dad a Tamilian?
So you must know Tamil very well, right?
No...
My mom is a Malayali.
Ive been in Kerala since childhood.
Sir, isnt that Ashokan sirs car?
Yes, it is.
Sir...
What happened, sir?
My car broke down, man.
Sir... our new SI.
Sir, Im Ashokan.
I received a mail saying
youd be joining today.
I started earlier to reach there,
but my car ran into trouble.
Rajesh from the workshop
will be here soon...
Once he arrives, get this fixed
and take the car to the station.
Okay, sir.
Sir, Ill also come to the station.
Call me if there's anything.
Lets go.
Sir, where is your hometown?
Kochi.
Oh!
So youre a Kochi folk?
Sir, your family?
Mom, dad, wife, and daughter.
How old is your daughter?
She was born recently.
Wow, then you owe us a treat, sir!
Yes, Rasheed, tell me.
Sir, theres an issue.
What issue?
While passing through the forest road...
We noticed a vehicle parked
suspiciously and checked it.
Some youngsters were inside.
They were trying to shoot a video.
Theyre Tamilians, sir.
There are 1-2 girls with them as well.
Sir, he has stepped in and blocked them!
Who? Reji?
Yes, sir.
Looks like those guys have
some influence over higher officials.
I dont think I can handle this alone.
Sir, can you come here quickly?
Whats wrong with him?
What happened, sir?
No, nothing.
Shouldnt you be more careful, man!?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Hello? Hello?
Are you okay?
Come, help me!
Sir, open the door!
Move inside, move inside!
Sir, move inside!
Go, start the vehicle quickly!
Hey, breathe.
Have you seen this girl before?
No, sir.
Sir, go faster!
Hey, open your eyes!
Floor it, man!
Sir, take her phone. Check her
recent calls and contact someone.
Go, go!
Hey!
Hey!
Dad...
Hey!
Sir, stop the vehicle.
Hello?
Neethu...
Where is our daughter?
Im trying to make her sleep,
but shes very cranky.
Did you reach there?
Hello?
Cant you hear me?
Hello?
What happened?
Nothing.
Hey, are you okay?
There is only one way to escape this, sir.
The incident that brought me,
you, and everyone else here
must not happen!
Until we stop it...
we will remain trapped in this loop!
The stars obey his silent call
The night kneels, the ages fall
He turns the wheel no eye can see
The past and future bend to decree
With time, the incident
faded into deeper layers
You are the time,
and you are the end of it all
With time, the incident
faded into deeper layers
You are the time,
and you are the end of it all
Every breath a moment dies
Every blink a world replies
He weaves the hours with silent thread
Between the living and the dead
O' the god of time
O' the supreme one
who burns eternal within the darkness
When he sleeps, time dies
When he wakes, the worlds arise
