Ten Hours (2025) Movie Script

[ Petrol bomb throwing ]
I joined the police force to pursue a job that excites
me, rather than settle for one that feels uninspiring.
The past 10 hours have been
the most exciting time in my career.
I feel like I'm loosing
in every way possible.
Sir.. Can I say something?
In 2015, when I was working as a constable
at a station in Madurai,
a person came to complain that his
daughter and granddaughter were missing.
No one paid attention to his complaint.
He kept coming to the station every day.
That's when a new
sub-inspector arrived at the station.
The sub-inspector noticed the old man and
paid attention to his complaint.
The fellow officers were not happy with this and
purposely created hurdles to impede his efforts.
But the sub-inspector overcame all that and found
the daughter and grandchild of that old man.
But not alive. Their dead body was found.
The autopsy report came and it was found that, the killer
was a psycho who used their body for sex even after death.
The only evidence that existed in the case was
human teeth marks discovered on the corpses.
The tooth marks were compared with those
of the suspects, but they failed to match.
But the sub-inspector refused to give up.
Later, the sub-inspector pondered,
Why did no one in at the
station take up this case?
Not only that, they actively
obstructed my investigation efforts.
So he suspected all the people in that
station and arranged a party for them.
At the party,
once everyone finished their food, the sub-inspector
instructed to place an apple on each person's plate.
We distributed apples to everyone.
No one could finish their apple,
as their stomachs were already full.
All the half-eaten apples were
immediately sent to the forensic lab.
And we got a match..
And that was found to be
the station's Inspector only.
Legal proceedings were not taken against the offending
policeman, due to his strong political support.
The sub-inspector, who understood that
he could not legally punish the culprit,
carried out justice through
an encounter without any fear.
The sub-inspector said that, I will only do
what I feel that is justice for the victims.
His name is CASTRO.
You cracked that case, where there
was not much evidence at that time.
I'm confident that this case will also be
solved, and the killer will be punished.
Come on, sir, let's go.
Same time
Attur police station,
Salem district.
Our daughter who went to college
this morning hasn't returned yet, sir.
Do you have any photo or ID proof of her?
Yes, we have.
Give that
Tell your daughter's phone number?
[ 9946785]
Shekar ; walk carefully
[ Beating sounds ]
Hey guys, what happened?
Don't worry,
I will take care of this
How dare to touch my people?
[ Beating sound, politician crying ]
[ Writer: Usually on what time your daughter
goes to college and come back everyday? ]
Morning 8am she goes to college,
after college by 6.30p.m.,
she has a coaching class.
She will be back at home by 8pm, usually.
When we enquired the coaching class,
they said she was absent today.
Where is the coaching center located?
Thendral Nagar, sir.
Mani brother, come. Get into the jeep.
Ok sir.
[ Lady constable: Sir, Inspector's bag ]
What is there in the bag?
'Irumudi' is in this bag, sir. You can head directly
to Sabarimala tomorrow if we're running late.
Thanks brother
Sir, Vicky is on the line.
Yeah, give it.
Tell me Vicky..
Sir, I have checked the girl's phone number you gave, the
phone switched off at the Chinnampatti tower location.
Ok.
Brother, Thendral Nagar is coming
under Chinnampatti tower location right?
Yes sir.
It means the girl
disappeared from that area.
Hey man,
are you drunk?
No sir
Where is NOC coaching center located?
Near by only sir.
Which direction?
This direction sir.
Have you seen this girl?
Yes sir, every day she goes by this side.
Even today also.
Did you see her today also!
Yes sir.
Brother,
The girl arrived here.
She got off the bus.
Even the shopkeeper spotted her!
But she never made it
to the coaching center.
It means something happened in between!
Sir, no one is here this side.
Sir no one is here too!
Break the lock..
The kidnappers probably
haven't gone too far.
Immediately pass on the information,
that the girl was kidnaped.
How can you say it's a kidnapping!
What if she eloped with her lover?
When we arrived, we saw a broken
streetlight and a dark house next to it.
But water was dripping
from the A/c unit in that house.
That's why I asked to break the lock.
And the cooling of the room
had not decreased at all.
So they must not have been gone for long.
Based on these, how can it be
concluded that it was a kidnapping?
We found several worms
under the broken street light.
Same worms were found in
front of that house gate as well.
If some one attacked the girl with worms,
definitely she wouldn't able
to change the dress in public.
Hey scoundrels, what have you done!
Oh god they have put worms on her,
Shake it dear! It will be fine.
Now days its unsafe for girls to go out. Too many
worms are there, You better change the dress.
They forced her to enter
the house and kidnapped.
It's a pre - planned kidnap.
So.. we will tell SI Karan
to take care of this case,
and shall we go for election duty.
Brother..
This is also our duty.
If they have kidnapped
her with such a plan,
there might be a big network behind this.
There might be many
reasons for this kidnapping,
but our duty is to make
sure that she is safe.
Give me the walkie..
Attur Inspector Castro speaking.
A kidnapping case is recorded. Send the
girl's photo to all surrounding stations.
And make sure thorough checking is done
at the outposts. I'm on the way. Over..
Stop stop.. stop the vehicle
Take this money, don't call me.
If anymore works come, I will let you know.
Ok ok..
Sir, can you please call your daughter?
What is the matter sir?
Call her sir, we have to enquire her.
Keerthi dear..
Is she your friend?
Yes sir
This girl has been since
missing since evening.
Her parents made a complaint,
do you know anything about this?
I don't know about this.
Is she having any love affair?
Nothing like that sir..
- Don't hesitate to tell..
- Sir..
These things should be done in the morning.
Not this night.
You go inside dear.
Take it
Thanks sir
It's clear sir.
Then close the dicky.
Hey, one vehicle is coming..
[ Hey.. police is there.]
Jindaa, Let's go back!
Go man..
Come.. Come.. Come little front. Stop
Where you coming from?
Back from a function sir.
Show me your license?
Open the dicky
Jindaa, what to do now?
You keep quiet..
Move your legs..
Eh.. Gopi.. here is the girl.
Sir, coming sir..
Stop.. stop.. stop the vehicle..
Get the dead body into the
ambulance quickly. Inspector has come.
Sir, 3 constables
were killed in the attack.
[ Ensure the body is taken
directly to the Govt hospital. ]
Has a blue car passed through
the Rasipuram checkpoint?
No vehicle had come to the
checkpoint for a long time.
They cannot proceed from here without
passing, through the Rasipuram check post!
There's a small route before
the Rasipuram check post.
It will pass through Asalampadi village and
eventually reach the Viluppuram highway.
That's the route they've taken.
Given the winding nature of the road, it's
unlikely that the vehicle traveled at high speeds.
Taking the route via Chinnamala would allow us
to reach the Viluppuram Highway more quickly.
We can definitely catch up to that vehicle.
The police are
approaching. Drive fast man..
Shit.. How did the police find out?
Isn't this Guna's territory?
[Sniffing petrol smell ]
Who are all of you?
We are the ones who
kidnap people for money.
Where's that girl you kidnaped?
A car came in between, and the girl was
taken into it. We're unsure of anything else.
It was only after that
incident that you caught us.
Take your phone and call the
man who assigned you this task.
Yes sir..
What's this sudden habit you're
displaying? You are making a call!
I called to find out if
the girl arrived there.
Isn't the phone on speaker mode?
Did the police catch the thief by then?
No matter how brilliant you are,
I challenge you. You can't catch me.
Give it a try if you want.
You'd kidnap girls, kill cops,
and do anything for cash to survive.
I don't know much
sir.. please leave me sir.
Sir, please leave me..
Vicky, I've forwarded you a number. I need
the details of that number immediately.
[ Ok, sir ]
Tell me Vicky
Sir that number belongs
to a Bengaluru address.
But, it switched off under
Kallakurchi tower location.
No other incoming or outgoing
calls have gone to this number.
[ Police control room ambience ]
Yes control room, tell me
[ Sir, Someone is harassing
a girl on IYMPON TRAVELS ]
Where is the bus right now?
[ This bus is heading to Coimbatore.]
Can you say the exact location of the bus?
[ The bus is currently 5KM
ahead of the Kallakurichi toll.]
Do you know the bus number?
[ TN 10 BC 5697 ]
What's your name sir?
Are you there?
Control to patrol..
Control to patrol..
Chennai to Coimbatore IYMPON TRAVELS,
Bus number TN 10 BC 5697.
An information has been received that,
a girl is being harassed.
At that time, the bus was 5
kilometers behind the Kallakurichi toll.
Right now, the bus passed the Kallakurichi
toll. Catch the bus immediately. Over
Constable.. ask about the
girl by showing that photo.
Did you see this girl today?
I don't know sir, I'm
new to this area. Sir.
Kumar, Inspector is coming.
We have checked with her friends, but they
don't know anything regarding her missing.
There was an information from the control
room that, a girl was being harassed on a bus.
It's likely that the girl
we're searching for.
Everyone come to the Attur toll. Quick
Sir, The bus coming through the flyover.
Over..
Attur Inspector Castro speaking.
I'm near to Kallakurichi toll gate.
I'll report after that bus is stopped.
[ 5697 bus is coming, sir. ]
[ That bus is approaching
Stop the vehicle.. ]
[ Driver: What's the problem sir? ]
Driver, follow Inspector's jeep.
Ok sir.. Ok sir.
Take the bus into truck shelter.
[ We'll bring the bus sir ]
Driver, get down
Open the door
[ Driver: What's going on? ]
Driver, What's the problem with the bus?
Why did the bus stopped?
What's the problem?
Just police checking..
If anything, inform to the office..
If everything is fine, how did someone
manage to call the control room?
That I don't know sir.
[ Constable: Sir.. ]
[ Murmuring with shock ]
I don't know where he's from.
Since he's dead,
we'll have to guard it
until his family arrives.
Take the body for postmortem.
Jeeva.. Jeeva..
Karan, The girl we were
looking for is not on this bus.
We got information that a girl
was being tortured on the bus.
But nothing like that
has ever happened here.
But there's a man lying dead on the bus.
We have to find the girl
before anything happens to her.
Karan, you check all the places
in Kallakurichi and update me.
Especially that girl's
friends and relatives houses.
Sure sir.
Hello Sir..
Hello doctor.
I'm sorry to bother you at this
time doctor. No problem sir.
I need the post-mortem report and forensic
report for that man a bit sooner, please.
How is that possible?
There's quite a bit of procedure
involved in all of this, isn't there?
I know sir,
A girl has been kidnapped in this night.
The policemen who went
to stop them were killed.
Now there has been a
murder on the bus as well.
I think there's some connection
between these three incidents.
The passengers don't even know,
what's happening around them.
But, the murder was committed
by someone in the bus only.
If we want to find out this quickly,
we'll have to break the rules, sir.
When you're struggling so hard,
we'll help you too.
Thank you doctor.
That's ok, we will do our best.
[ Castro on walkie talkie: We have taken IYMPON
TRAVELS in custody near to Attur toll gate. Over]
Brother, Seize everyone's phone.
Ok sir.
Hey, give your phone.
Already posted two pictures in Facebook,
let me take one more sir!
Brother, please find out who
called to the control room?
Also, take everyone's fingerprints, send
them to every police station, and check them.
Yazhya
Guru
Your name please?
What's the name of the
boy who came with you?
Your name?
Tell your name..
Raju sir.
My name is Vinod sir.
Why are you so silent?
Please say something.
If you are called, can't you come?
Just went to washroom sir
Where are you going?
I'm going to my uncle's
house in Coimbatore.
Tell me, How long I'm asking?
I don't have a father, only my mother.
My mother's treatment required money.
So I came to Chennai for earning money.
Now I have money, but mother..
My mother has died sir.
After one year, now am going to
see my mother for the last time.
Kindly leave me sir..
My mother shouldn't have
been left alone without me, sir.
Ok, please don't cry.
Let me check with the Inspector.
If there's a chance you'll leave soon.
Sir, the caller to the control
room is the same guy who is dead.
Why did you do this?
What did you do to him?
Why did you killed him?
[ Our IYMPON TRAVELS bus was about to leave
from Koyambedu bus stand at 8 p.m. ]
[ We were waiting for few passengers ]
- The bus going to Coimbatore will come here right?
- Yes
- On what time?
- At 8pm.
Uncle, Can we take a selfie?
Of course dear.
Dear.. Wait a moment
Shall we take a selfie?
- Can we take a selfie?
- Yea..
Brother, you are the driver right?
Can we take a selfie?
Time is passing. Can I get there
before the wedding muhurt tomorrow?
Does the bus depart at 8 p.m. or 8 a.m.?
Stop taking the photo and take a seat.
When do you plan to take the bus?
Why hasn't the bus started yet?
It should leave at 8 p.m. right?
8pm is the scheduled time. There are two more to
come. The bus will leave only after they arrive.
We're wasting our time for someone
who comes late. Strat the bus conductor
- Where are you headed?
- Coimbatore.
Ok go and sit in seat no 13 & 14.
Online booking
Divya, give me the bag. You please sit.
Divya.. I'm with you right? Just relax
Jagan, I boarded the bus.
I might do as you suggest.
[ Your friends will take
care of everything right? ]
Everything is ready.
You just be calm.
Why do they put wet cloths on aeroplane?
Such idiots!
Dad, keep quiet
Hey man, watch carefully.
I didn't see anything! Have you seen?
Sorry brother,
please sit in your seat dad.
Why are you always talking?
Maari, we will leave now. If there are any
passengers enroute, you can pick them up.
That's right,
speaking loudly made my throat dry up.
Close the door, let's move.
[ SI Mani: Say the truth ]
Janani Narayan!
Why her name is marked?
When we reached Ashok Nagar,
I called Janani's number.
Her number was switched off.
At that moment,
two men came running and boarded the bus.
Brother, the passenger's phone is
switched off. What can we do now?
It's already delayed,
we will leave and inform to the office.
She didn't boarded the bus,
that's why I marked her name.
Has that band-aid been applied now?
When I went to distribute tickets
to the passengers on the bus,
Do you have any plastic bag? If
you vomit, you'll have to clean yourself.
[ Vomiting ]
I just said now. And
you are doing the same!
Roaming with someone and getting pregnant,
and then vomiting in my bus. Clean it now
Conductor.. mind your words.
Who are you to ask this?
I will ask ..
You hit me, I will show you
Jeeva, be patient please
He did it out of inexperience.
When did you see Jeeva after that?
Jeeva, please control yourself
Don't you have hot water?
There's no hot water here, only bottled water.
Drink if you want, if you don't, leave the bus.
The heart is here, but there's no water.
Isn't it your wedding in the morning?
Mind your own business man.
Uncle, one blanket is enough!
Is that enough? Something fishy..
[ One bed sheet for two
persons, lucky generation! ]
So I can turn off the lights, right?
Please don't.. If you turn off the lights,
I won't be able to sleep.
Turn it off quickly, uncle.
- Are you a 2K kid?
- Yes uncle.
You called me uncle!
They'll be benefited if the lights are
turned off, why I'm I wasting my sleep?
Tell me the details of the passengers?
Sir, 16 people booked tickets.
One person didn't come.
I gave tickets to 10 people.
So in total 25 passengers.
All other details are in the file itself.
At what time did the bus leave
from Koyambedu bus stand?
Usually we starts at 8pm.
Today bus departed at 8.30pm sir.
Why didn't you stop the bus,
when a pregnant woman was vomiting?
Sir, I can't stop the bus wherever I want
to. Considering that the bus is GPS tracked.
Even if there's an emergency with the
passengers, I need to inform our office first.
They must give permission to stop
at a safe place before I can do so.
Because passenger's safety is our priority.
Did Jeeva had any issues
with someone else on the bus?
I'm asking you!
Yes sir, with a lady passenger.
Come
Who is Daisy Rose here?
Sir..
Come inside.
What was the issue between you and Jeeva?
I didn't have any problem with Jeeva. The
issue was between Jeeva and the conductor.
We were waiting at
Maramalai Nagar bus stop.
Bus was half an hour late too.
When we entered into the bus..
Helloo.. Take your hand
Before the bus reach at the destination,
you'll see who I'm!
Calm brother, don't fight in the public
Who are you to beat him up sir?
Hello, He was the one who made the mistake.
Is it right to hit someone
even if they make a mistake?
What about her?
I did my duty as a doctor,
regardless of who was at fault.
Wasn't that the last
time you spoke to Jeeva?
When I found out there was
nothing wrong with him, I felt guilty.
So while he was sitting alone,
I went and asked for sorry.
Alone!!!!
Yes, sir
Ok, please wait out side.
Sir, I'm speaking from Kallipatti area
[ Castro: Tell me Karan ]
There are many politicians here because,
tomorrow is the election counting day.
That girl is unlikely
to be in this area, sir.
- [ Castro: You are in patrol only right? ]
- yes sir
- [ Search each and every corner of our station limit ]
- ok Sir
Elango..
Yes sir..
Wasn't there a girl with Jeeva? Call her.
That girl has been
crying for quite some time.
- We need to investigate her, ask her to come inside.
- Ok sir.
Please be seated.
You and Jeeva came together,
then why you were seated
separately in the bus?
That woman was sitting alone and crying
because the conductor had abused her.
Jeeva, give me a way..
Take this, have some water.
Don't cry anymore. Please relax first.
Why are you traveling alone while pregnant?
I trusted my boyfriend and went to
live with him, despite hurting my parents.
Initially, he treated me very well.
It was only later that I
realized his true nature.
Now his torture is more than I can bear.
They are giving me a really
hard time at their house as well.
I've endured everything for so long.
But, now my baby..
It doesn't matter what happens to me,
I won't let anything happen to my baby.
That's why I left without telling anyone.
Going to native for my child's security.
You both will be fine. Be cool.
What is your relationship with Jeeva?
Let's discuss it in detail Divya.
We both are studying in same college only.
We've been in a
relationship for four years.
It was my niece's birthday.
Unexpectedly, he came to my
house and talked about our love.
Not liking it, my brother and relatives thrashed
Jeeva and drove him away from the house.
Jeeva, my wedding is
scheduled to take place tomorrow.
What are you saying!!
You have to come and pick me up right away.
Am not feeling safe here.
One problem has just been solved.
And by then, the next problem has come up.
Divya.. Don't cry..
Somehow, I convinced Jeeva
and left the house that very night.
Divya.. quick..
His friends were in Coimbatore,
so we decided to go
there and start a new life.
Within it, our entire lives were..
He was a good man sir..
Do you have suspicions
about anyone on the bus?
Not exactly..
What about your father?
It's ok, take some time.
Wash your face and relax first.
[Please don't beat me, sir, please sir.
[Please sir. I did it because I was drunk.]
[ Will you hit the police? ]
Are you brave enough to hit the police?
Please inquire about
the individuals on this list.
Who is this?
While breaking the lock of the liquor shop, he was
caught by the police. And he beat those cops too.
Show him what happens
if the police beat him up.
Are you brave enough to
hit the police? You bloody..
- Sir.. Sir.. Tomorrow is my wedding day.
- Just shut up you..
[ SI: Come inside. Will
show you how police hit ]
[ Suspect: Sir please forgive me sir ]
[ SI: Constable, lock him up ]
Constable: Are you hitting the police.
Look at your leg, such a big band aid. Yet you
still commit these regrettable acts, don't you?
Let's finish the other case
now, later I will show you..
Who is Kesavan here?
Didn't you hear? Who is Kesavan?
- Are you Kesavan?
- Yes sir
Where are you from?
[SI: Am asking you? ]
[ SI: Can't you hear me? ]
Sir, I doubt him.
Are you trying to escape!
Come inside.. Take him.
[ Accused crying loudly ]
Mercenaries, mischief, love, or former
enmity-which group do you belong to?
Sir.. Me and Jegan were friends.
We know about their relationship earlier.
And we warned him many times.
Even though he came to home.
Rascal..
You don't have no more warnings. Get lost.
That night Jegan called me and
told that Divya ran away with Jeeva.
While searching for them, I accidentally
spotted Jeeva and Divya going on a bike.
And I followed them.
Jegan.. Divya and Jeeva
boarding bus from Koyambedu.
[Jegan: Listen carefully. You follow them.
[My father will take care of the rest.]
Ok then, let me go with them.
Sir, it's his phone.
After passing Maramalai Nagar,
I called him again to know the plan.
He told that, you don't do anything.
Dad will take care of it.
That is why I did not do anything.
I fell asleep because of exhaustion.
Then why did you made a call at 3am?
I informed about Jeeva's death sir.
Do I need to believe what you're saying?
You followed him with a motive.
Either you've done it, or you must
have seen the man who did it. Right?
I didn't see who did this.
Kabilan.. Call the person who boarded from Maramalai Nagar.
- Ok sir
[ Gunshot ]
[ Panic murmuring ]
He snatched the gun while am wiping it.
Please take it back sir.
[ Constable: He is
behaving like a mad man sir ]
Ey.. Give me the gun.
Sir, he must be arrested. He's the
one who did the murder. I've seen it.
Am asking you to return the gun.
Sir, he is my dad.
He is a mentally unstable person.
I promise I will do fare to this case.
Now give me the gun.
[ Dad.. give it to him ]
Where are you from?
Krishna Street, Maramalai Nagar sir.
What locket is this?
It's lord Murugan's dollar,
for my daughter's good future.
Okey.. You can sit now.
Hello.. Madam..
The fingerprint on the knife matches with,
the fingerprint of a passenger named Guru.
- I will share the other details soon.
- Sure
Who is Guru?
Sir.. please leave me.
Your fingerprints are on the knife.
Why did you kill him?
Sir, I was working in the hotel,
meanwhile the guy and girl came there.
What happened Divya?
I'm asking you, tell me
The mobile camera was
kept on in the restroom.
This phone right?
This seems like Guru's phone!
- Hey Guru..
- Yes
Come here.
This phone is yours right?
How dare you take girl's video?
If you repeat this, will kill you rascal.
Be careful,
If I see you again.. Get lost!
How dare you take girl's video?
How did you travel along with them?
After that incident,
my owner fired me from the job.
I was drunk and lying down
at Koyambedu Bus stand,
I found them boarding
on a bus, and I followed.
But I slept off as I was drunk.
Suddenly when I woke up in between,
I found everyone sleeping.
Thinking this as the perfect time
for revenge, and I went near to him.
But he was already dead.
Then the bus was stopped with a
sudden break, and the knife fell down.
I searched for the
knife but couldn't find it.
Found someone boarding the bus,
then I got scared and went back to my seat.
Sir.., I didn't do anything.
Now get lost, Let me
get the postmortem report.
Hello.. Sir I'm speaking from Valasaravakkam Police station.
- Tell me
Two of the fingerprints you sent,
match the list of suspects at this station.
Is that true?
They are Kasi and Sethu.
They were involved in a murder case.
- I've faxed their photo. Kindly check it.
- Ok sir
- Kabilan..
- Sir
- Will get a photo on fax, take it.
- Ok sir
Tell the truth now.
Jeeva's photo is in their mobile sir.
Two men gave us money to kill him.
We had a plan also to
do something after a week.
But, but we didn't do
this. That's the truth.
How did these blood stains get here?
I cut off a man's arm with a knife while
grabbing the bag, from a man passing on the road.
That's where this blood came from.
After the fight, We're afraid of getting caught. So,
We left the bag right there and boarded this bus.
At that time, we saw the guy who had died.
I called the person who gave me the
money right away, but he didn't pick up.
After coming here, we realized that one
of the person who owes us money is here.
We don't have any connection to this murder.
I will show the person who gave money to us.
He is the person sir..
Dey.. Did you reached the Police station?
Turn off now.
Throw it..
Are you trying to escape?
[ Catch him.. catch them ..]
Do you pay for the murder?
Sir, He is Jegan. He only gave money.
Now you ask him.
Do you pay for the murder?
Why are you beating him.
Are you sure he's the one who did it?
My daughter is going with an unknown person. I just
want to verify whether he is a good person or not.
That's why I asked to follow them. Otherwise
I would have killed them in bus stand itself.
Should I believe this?
Am taking him into custody.
You're taking me into custody
without knowing my influences.
Inspector, stop behaving like this.
First enquire properly. If it is proven
with evidence, he must be produced in court.
As a human rights commission member,
That's why I've been patient for so long.
However, seeing what is happening here, we feel
that we are not even safe at the police station.
You must immediately release all the passengers.
Otherwise, I will have to speak with your higher officers.
Madam, I can understand your situation.
A murder has taken place on a moving bus.
Upon investigation, no passenger knows
anything about it! How can I drop this here?
They did this to obstruct the investigation.
Understand the situation and be patient.
How long do we have to wait?
There are elderly people and women here.
Everything happening here is completely wrong.
What do you find wrong here?
The person inside the lock up, he did an
acid attack against a women for a politician.
Karan tell me.
Sir.. We have checked Sowmya's friends and
relatives houses and all the Attur area.
The girl is nowhere to be found, sir.
- We must find Sowmya, tonight itself.
- Ok sir
Make it fast man, doctor will arrive soon.
We didn't mix water properly right?
[ Shocked ]
Sir..
What are you saying! Come fast..
What are you saying!!!!
Sir.. The body sent for
postmortem is missing!!!
[ SI Mani: Hello, Attur police station ]
[ SI Mani: Wrong information,
postmortem is going ]
The news is leaked
sir. Got a call from press!
We've just received the information now.
If others were aware of this matter beforehand,
it would never have been purely coincidental.
Sir, somebody is anxious that
we will apprehend the culprit soon.
That's why they are trying obstruct
our investigation intentionally.
They are looking to divert rather
than obstruct the investigation.
They can easily throw that petrol bomb inside the
police station, instead of throwing it out side.
Now, we need to apprehend not only
the culprit here but also the one outside.
He is trying to destroy the evidence.
A girl who went to
college has been abducted.
The police who tried to
capture them were shot.
The person who called the control room,
was killed inside the bus itself.
Killer is here in the station only.
The one who ordered the killing is outside.
His plan is to do something
before the sunrise.
What are we going to do now?
Do you know the base while playing chess?
The victory is not about
striking more coins.
But you cannot overthrow the king.
Until the king is alive, game never ends.
Even if he tries to destroy the evidence,
or divert the direction of investigation,
As long as I am here,
I won't allow him to escape.
Because I'm starting my game now..
Sir..
Swami saranam..
Did any vehicle went out from inside?
No sir.
Give me a torch..
Sir, forget to take torch.
Sorry sir.
Will arrange something.
Doctor, why should the dead body
be hidden in the same compound itself?
Let me check.
It's a deep stab.
Castro, when looking at this boy's nails, there are
no signs that he has been in any fight with anyone.
Perhaps he must have died
while he was unconscious.
What made him unconscious? I can only tell what
it is after completing the full examination.
Primarily, it seems like he
consumed drugs or poison.
How doctor?
If the postmortem is conducted within 6 hours, only then can
we ascertain whether drugs or poison were injected to him.
It's very simple Castro.
That might be the reason
they hide body for a while.
But what about the scratches on hand?
It can be from the watch he wear.
As per forensic report
he doesn't have a watch.
Isn't it?
- Brother
- Sir
Can you please verify that, weather
Jeeva tied a watch in his hand with Divya?
Please be in line sir, let me ask her.
Did Jeeva tied a watch?
Yes.
Sir
Sir.. she is saying that,
he was wearing a watch.
Then check all the luggage's,
am on the way.
- Thank you doctor.
- It's okey
Tell me Elango
We have checked all luggage.
But couldn't able to find the watch.
Tie it properly.
Police vehicle is coming!
Don't be panic, do your job.
Sir.. Tell me sir
What are you guys doing here?
Tomorrow is the counting day, our leader is going
to win. After fixing the boards we will leave sir.
Do you see this girl anywhere around?
No sir, I didn't
If you get any information about this girl,
inform to police immediately.
Sure sir.
You get me?
Sure sir.
Finish your work and move fast.
Where you coming from?
Coming from railway station
Show your Insurance and RC book
Constable.. stop that car.
Stop.. Stop.. stop the car.
Sir, Attur SI Karan speaking sir.
A red Omni van just left with out stopping
on Gandhipuram road. Car no is 3935
Chase him, am on the way. Over.
Karan follow them,
I will come through opposite side.
Ok sir, got it.
I will mange it and update you sir.
Driver go fast. Don't miss the car.
Heyy.. They are approaching us.
Throw the bottle.
Sir.. It's confirmed,
this is not the girl we are looking for.
She seems to be in serious condition,
so taken into hospital immediately.
Her name is Janani Narayanan, we found a bus
ticket of Iympon travels from her pocket.
Why you are pushing us sir.
Don't pull on my shirt
Without boarding your bus,
how did that girl arrive here?
If that girl came to Kallakurichi on our bus,
other passengers must known about her right?
Sir, Where should I stop the bus. Which route I
should, I will get all the instructions from my office.
If any emergency though I should ask office
for stopping the vehicle.
We are responsible for passenger's safety.
If you need please check with my office, this is
the office number. They will give you more details.
Take them.
Come.. wait out side.
Hello, Iympon travels..
Tell me sir.
Attur Police station Inspector speaking.
Your travel's bus TN 10 BC 5697,
after leaving Koyambedu from 8.30pm where are all the
bus stopped. Tell me details with your GPS tracking system.
After leaving Koyambedu,
then bus has stopped for dinner in a hotel.
Then stopped in

And finally bus stopped for
police checking. That's all.
Ok.
Ashok Nagar police station..
Attur Inspector Castro speaking.
Tell me sir.
Need some details for a
murder case investigation.
Tell me sir..
Want to check the Ashok nagar bus stand's
surveillance camera footage.
Ok, Tell me the details
what you want to check?
Iympon travels bus TN 10 BC 5697,
bus should reached there by 9pm. I just want

- Will check it and call you back in 10 minutes sir.
- Thank you sir.
Yes, tell me sir
As you said Iympon
travels bus reached by 9pm.
But no lady boarded on the bus,
two men's were boarded when
bus stopped there. That's all sir.
Ok, thank you sir.
JANANAI NARAYANAN..
That passenger didn't come sir.
If she is no boarded on the bus,
how did she reached here in Kallakurichi!?
Sir, as you said Iympon
travels comes at 9pm.
But no lady boarded on the bus.
The bus might be late by 30 minutes,
but she should come to
bus stop at proper time right?
Tell me sir..
Sir, need another help.
Brother.. Give back their phones.
Let them talk with their family.
Ok sir.
Ashok, distribute the phone.
Let them inform to their family.
Brother.. Bus is still
at police station only.
After completing the questioning
only bus can move from here.
Just given the phone now.
That's why am informing.
Uncle, there is a
problem on the bus I came.
Even the police were helpless,
until I gave them a clue.
Because of the murder case,
bus will be late brother..
[ Uncle - If you can't reach here by 8am

Hey groom.. All ready for marriage?
Talked with bride right?
Kissing sound was really loud!
Shut your mouth man..

Cat will piss on elephant's head..
Thiru.. Inspector has arrived
Sit.. A small enquiry..
Tell me sir..
Want to check the footages of vehicles,
crossed the toll gate. Open it.
Ok sir
Pause here..
Now rewind it..
Play again..
Shit!!!
Tell me Elango..
Sir..
As you said given phone to all passengers
to talk with their family.
One out of two just acted like
calling with out dialing the phone.
Send his number and details immediately.
Ok sir..
Tell me sir..
Vicky..
I have sent you a number. I need it's incoming
and outgoing details as soon as possible.
Ok sir
Come inside sir..
Santhosh Inspector is here.
- Usually busses maintain 100km/h in highways right?
- Yes sir.
Please play the footage
from 90 minutes before.
Pause..
Give me the water.
Sir..
- Hello, Kathiresan..
- Tell me sir.
I have sent you a photo and number to you..
Check it and Lock it, am on the way to there.
- Will do it sir..
Give me the water man.
Tell me Vicky
Taken details of the given number. 3 out going call to a
number named Jothi, he is also driver in Iympon travels.
His current tower location is also
showing at Attur highway.
You call Kathiresan and,
sent the location and say to catch him.
Ok sir.
Kathiresan, that number is just 10km
away from you. Catch him immediately.
Ok sir.. Go fast.. we have to catch him.
Sure sir.
Our daughter who went to college
this morning hasn't returned yet, sir.
Check every vehicle in
every check post thoroughly.
An information has been received that, a
girl has been tortured on Iympon travels bus.
This is no the girl we are looking for!
[ Don't make sound, Inspector will come. ]
[ Just one more selfie needed. ]
[ He has come dude ]
- Brother, seize everyones phone.
- Ok sir
Sir, I already posted on Facebook already.
Give me your phone.
Go and wait.
We found the murderer,
now you people can go home soon.
Who is that murderer sir?
Just wait and see.
FIR must be filed against the criminals
who were on the bus.
- Drop other passengers in our vehicles itself.
- Sure sir.
- Then Sent Divya with her father.
- Ok sir.
Sir, bus didn't stopped anywhere!
Then how will he do the murder?
Where I start suspecting him is,
when I asked Without boarding your bus,
how did that girl arrive here?
Before I mention the place,
he answered Kallakurichi.
If that girl came to Kallakurichi on our bus,
other passengers must known about her right?
As per the schedule bus should have start at
8pm from Koyambedu. But it's starts by 8.30 only
Bus reached Ashok Nagar by 9pm.
Conductor contact Jananai when she was not in the
boarding point. But her phone was switched off.
How would he know that the girl's body is
lying near the Kallakurichi toll gate?
Even though the bus was late,
shouldn't that girl have arrived on time?
As you said Iympon
travels bus reached by 9pm.
But no lady boarded on the bus.
But when I rewind the footage a bus with
same number came there at 8.30pm itself.
That girl boarded on that bus.
At the Attur toll gate, two buses with
same number arrived at different times.
The bus passed Kallakurichi at 2:20am,
arrived Attur at 2:50am.
But, the bus that departed Kallakurchi
at 2:00am only arrived at Attur at 3:20am.
That quiet suspicious!
Hello Kathiresan,
I have sent you a photo and number to you.
Catch him and inform me.
Later given phones to all passengers
to speak with their family.
Sir, as you said given phone to all
passengers to talk with their family.
One out of two just acted like
calling with out dialing the phone.
Everyone made a call, but he didn't.
Apparently he acted like calling someone.
After that only I confirmed
he is involved in this murder.
I have taken his call
details from cyber cell.
According to his call history, he made phone calls to
two people at the exact time of the murder happened.
One among them is
that another bus's driver.
Immediately given order
to trace and catch him.
The most confusing part of this murder was, how
can some one commit a murder while driving a bus!
Afterward, I looked under his seat.
If he had been given these three pills and then
murdered, he wouldn't have been able to retaliate.
How he could have given
him those pills to him??
There are three finger
print on the water bottle.
Driver's, Conductor's and
the died person Jeeva's.
When I checked the tool box,
except screw driver everything was there.
It appears that a weapon with considerable
length was used for this murder.
He must have used a
screwdriver to kill Jeeva.
No wet tissues opened
which given to passengers.
But one wet tissue with
Iympon travels seal was opened.
Driver Velu's finger print on
the opened wet tissue cover.
Most of the bus drivers
have spare for their shirt.
But he has only spere
pant inside the cabin.
That was also suspicious!
Then I started analysing the photos.
Let's finish the game now.. Come..
[ Driver Velu screaming ]
Why did you killed him?
You were wearing two hole button shirt
while the bus starts from Koyambedu.
But when you comes to police station you
were wearing shirt with 4 holes in buttons.
After committing the murder,
you wisely took off the spare shirt.
You only committed this murder!
During the murder who drive the bus?
There were two finger
prints on the steering.
One is driver Velu's and another one
is not matched with anyone on the bus.
Two busses running with same number
shows that your owner is connected to this.
But I don't want make any assumption.
Now tell me the whole truth.
Sir.. Will tell you sir..
It's true that two bus were
on the road with same number.
For doing something illegal
we will use same number for few busses.
Since all the buses have same shape and number of the
passenger bus, we can easily avoid police checking.
Jananai should boarded on my bus sir.
Just because of am late,
she boarded the bus with same number
which went in front of me.
Will call you once I reach.
Don't forget.. ok?
Why are they not stopping here?
Start the bike.. quickly..
Heyy.. stop the bus..
Open the door.
I have booked the tickets.
Why don't you pick passenger from the stop?
Sorry madam
Don't say sorry..
Am a press reporter, you will face
the consequence of this tomorrow.
[ Jananai: Why the bus is empty!!]
- [ Conductor hitting Janani ]
- Janani screaming.
Brother.. Can I go inside and..
Make it fast, I also need some time.
I saw the other bus in highway and,
I called the driver.
Tell me brother
Why did you stopped the bus?
Stomach is little upset, that's why!
Don't say lame excuses you bloody..
You should drive Infront of me.
Sure, I started the bus now.
Am slowing down, you go ahead of me.
Ok brother.
[ Janani resisting. ]
I will kill you bitch.
[ Janani screaming ]
[ Your marriage is our responsibility.
[Just relax we will take care of all. ]
Battery is low bro, see you in the morning.
Good night.
Help me.. please some body help me..
Sir.. a girl is being tortured in that bus.
Can you please go fast sir..
We can't go that much fast man.
We have more than 25 passengers in the bus,
I can't take risk.
No use of talking to you.
Yes control room.. Tell me.
Sir, Someone is harassing
a girl on IYMPON TRAVELS.
Please save her sir..
Where is the bus right now?
This bus is heading to Coimbatore.
Can you please say the
exact location of the bus?
Give me a minute sir.
Sir, the bus is currently 5 kilometers
ahead of the Kallakurichi toll.
Do you know the bus number?
Sir, TN 10 BC..
TN 10 BC..
5697 sir..
What's your name sir?
My name is Jeeva sir.
Hello, are you there?
Shit..
Driver, please go fast.
Please understand..
I didn't have any
intention to kill that guy.
He informed the police about an incident
that happened in my travels.
I was confused about what to be done.
We drivers will keep
sleeping pills during long trips.
We use a portion of that
pills to get sound sleep.
Then only we can drive
without falling asleep at night.
I mixed that pills into the water bottle.
I wanted conductor Maari
and that guy to drink that water.
I planned to make it happen
through conductor Maari.
Maari.. hey Maari.. wake up man.
I've told you many times,
not to sleep near the driver's seat.
Didn't sleep properly for past two days.
Don't speak much. Have some water now.
That bus is moving fast brother..
I had enough water, take it.
Maari, give it to him.
Brother have some water and relax.
Have it.
As I expected he had the water.
And he became unstable.
Some how I wanted to sent him
back to the seat and make him sleep.
That was running on my mind.
Hey little brother..
I don't want people sleep in my cabin.
That's I told him to go inside and sleep.
Now you are doing the same.
This will make me also sleepy right?
Anyway you have informed the police right?
They will catch the bus.
Now you go and sleep.
If police comes, I will let you know.
Then you can explain to them.
I didn't know what to do next.
Then I called the other driver.
Son of gun..
What's going on there in the bus?
Nothing like that..
If nothing, how come a passenger
from my bus informed the Police that,
some one is getting tortured in the bus?
What happened?
At Ashok pillar stop, a girl stopped
and boarded on my bus instead of yours.
Police were standing opposite.
She made trouble that she is a journalist,
and we had no other way but let her in.
Anyway police will reach you in some time.
I will call you shortly with some plan.
Ok.
Hello sir, we have a problem.
A girl is being tortured in the other bus and, one of the
passenger from my bus informed about this to the police.
At that time I didn't know what to do!
For the time being I have given sleeping
pills to that guy and made him sleep.
Now what to be done?
Mother fuckers..
They are crating unnecessary problems!
Let the bus come, I will manage.
Where are you right now?
Now I'm 2 km before from Kallakurichi toll.
Police will be there
at Attur toll for sure.
Can you arrange to shift the stuffs
from the other bus immediately?
That's impossible right now!
You do this now,
make an accident with your bus.
What!!!!!
More than 20 peoples are in the bus.
How can we play with these many life's!
If then kill that guy who
gave information to police.
How can I do that sir?
Just do what I said.
I have decided to do that for my owner, who
has done so much help for me and my family.
I made another call to that driver.
Tell me
Where are you right now.
Am moving towards
Devipattanam from kallakurichi.
Listen to me.
Don't go to Attur toll gate now.
There will be police for sure.
Until I say you keep taking u turn between
Kallakurichi toll and Attur toll.
Okey..
Drop cleaner Babu at Chellampatti.
I need him for some time.
You leave now.
As my bus is attached with GPS, it will
be an evidence if I stopped somewhere.
Babu waited at the place I mentioned.
I managed to drive slowly
without stopping the bus.
He jumped onto the running bus.
He started driving the bus.
Conductor Maari was in deep sleep, because
of having water mixed with sleeping pills.
Later,
I took the tool box.
Tell me brother..
The task is done.
I will drop Babu on the bridge before,
Attur toll gate.
You pick him, and keep
roaming by taking U-turn.
Ok brother.
I will cross the Attur toll gate first.
If Police is there, let's divert
the police's attention towards me.
Later I will make a call.
Ok done.
After the murder I disposed off all the
evidence and took diversion to service road.
I dropped Babu, by slowing the bus.
Again I called the driver.
Throw that girl under Kallakurichi subway,
our people will take care off it.
A girls body will be there under
the Kallakurichi subway. Take it.
Hello sir, task is done.
I have diverted all the police towards me.
Now the police taking
me to the Police station.
Please sent the other bus to a safe zone.
Dead body will be taken
to the Govt hospital for sure.
Please arrange the
necessary to take it away.
I will take care of it.
Otherwise I will be trapped.
You don't worry
Ok, sir.
I have diverted all the police towards me.
Now you cross Attur toll gate.
If it comes out that a girl
was harassed on our bus,
our travel agency will
get a bad reputation.
That's why I came to surrender.
If the issue is the travel
agency's bad reputation,
shouldn't the bus have surrendered
after dumping the girl's dead body?
You committed this murder
just to protect that bus.
What's inside the bus?
Where is that bus now?
You explained how the murder was committed.
Who told you to do it?
What is in that bus?
Bring him outside.
Didn't he do the murder on the bus?
If he does not confess the truth,
he could be killed inside the same bus.
Sir.. help me sir.
I will tell the truth.
Who called you?
What is inside that bus?
If I tell the truth,
who will protect me and my family sir?
What have you done?
If I hadn't shot him,
he would have shot you.
If he ever talks about us,
then you kill him.
- Hello..
- Sir.. we found the bus.
But inside the bus..
Shit..
What transpires on a single night,
I thought we could close
the case by seizing the bus.
However.. the people were murdered,
and the stuffs were removed from the bus.
What could have been on this bus
to justify such extreme actions?
I feel like I'm loosing
in every way possible.
Can I say something?
In 2015, when I was working as a
constable at a station in Madurai,
a person came to complain that his
daughter and granddaughter were missing.
You cracked that case, where there
was not much evidence at that time.
I'm confident that this case will also be
solved, and the killer will be punished.
Come sir, let's go.
It's not possible to take the things
from the bus on a two-wheeler.
Surely, they must have
used a large vehicle.
But, we didn't see any
large vehicle on the way here.
So, that vehicle must have
gone in the opposite direction.
Hello Vicky,
Is the Alpha team ready?
Ready sir,
waiting for you command.
Okey.. Start.
Share the link..
- Alpha team, get ready.
- Ready sir
- Can we start?
- Ready sir
Then start..
In the Kullambadi area, an ambulance and a
two-wheeler were seen traveling together for a while.
We have been proceeding for
the evidence in the case so far.
I will go behind the
master brain of all these,
You follow and catch those evidence.
Ok sir..
We're unaware of our enemy.
But he has shown us his strength.
Brother.. Be safe.
Just follow your intuitions.
If you need any additional support,
ask our near by police stations.
Sir, what about you?
An ambulance roaming in the Kullambadi area for
a while, catch the vehicle immediately.. Over.
It's the vote counting day tomorrow.
How do you manage to
stay completely tension-free?
Do you think the by
election happened naturally?
It was caused by the killing of the MLA.
Meiyappan!!
Are you the one doing all of this?
Why did you kidnap me?
The question you just
asked could change my life.
45 days ago, I planned and kidnapped you.
When you were still alive, I staged
your death and caused the by election.
I made your postmortem report also.
If I wanted, I could have killed you on
the same day of the kidnapping itself.
If anything had gone wrong with my
planning, I would have needed you alive.
That's why I spared you all these days.
Everything happened as per my plan.
Byelection has come.
I did all the planning to
ensure my victory also.
I don't need any plan B anymore.
I will be in your position
from tomorrow itself.
Meiyappan.. You are doing mistakes.
More than 20 peoples are in the bus.
How can we play with these many life's?
If then kill that guy.
A girls body will be there under
Kallakurichi subway. Take it.
Dead body will be reach Govt hospital for sure,
please arrange the necessary to take it away.
If he ever talks about us,
then you kill him.
The police followed us
all the way to go down.
- Let's go man,
- you start the car man
Isn't the phone on speaker mode?
[ Girl weeping sound ]
[ Leave me, leave me..]
Have you seen this girl?
Come on.. round up.
Catch them.
[ Constable come that side ]
Come down from the vehicle,
check who were inside the vehicle.
Sir, we catch the ambulance near
Kullambadi subway. You please come fast.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Why you are not talking sir?
Daddy..
Hey, sit there..
Sir am an election officer.
They threatened me by saying that voting machines
need to be changed by kidnapping my daughter.
Not even a single piece of cloth
won't remain in your daughter's body.
I'm very much aware that my daughter is in your
custody. Even I didn't complaint to the police.
Even my family don't
know the exact situation.
Even I stopped my dad and wife from revisiting
the police station by saying our daughter is safe.
As a father I got my daughter back,
but, as an officer I'm failed sir.
Am ready to surrender sir.
You will kill,
you will rob and you will make corruption.
All that people have
is their right to vote.
What if you take that away from them?
What will they do next?
No one like you should live on this earth,
nor should rule this country.
