Did you notice anything unusual
in his bowel movements?
Like blood or anything odd
along with the stool?
He puked something reddish.
Could've been blood.
Okay.
In the middle of all this,
his adoption got sanctioned.
Will he be able
to travel in this condition?
I really don't know.
He doesn't need to wear
the mouth muzzle all the time.
It's only adding to his stress.
The dog is already quite weak.
We're not afraid he'll bite.
He seems unsure about what
he should or shouldn't eat.
When we give him Pedigree,
he just pushes it away.
But the moment he gets a chance,
he swallows stones and dirt.
That's how it'll be hereafter.
His habits have to be conditioned
from scratch now.
Yeah.
What happened?
It's not as simple
as treating people, right?
We can speak up
and say what's wrong.
Can animals do that?
Once his stomach clears up,
he might start eating again.
But there's hardly any stool.
It's just gas.
The doctor suggested
getting an X-ray.
An X-ray? Can't she just manage
with some meds?
If meds were enough,
she would've done that already.
I mean, that's easier for her too.
Yeah, true.
Take him for an X-ray.
Let's not give anyone a reason
to say we messed up.
The people adopting him
will be here soon, too.
Who will drive?
Ask Ayyappan to do it.
Ayyappan? He's high as hell!
Is he stoned?
Not just stoned.
He's totally baked.
What if he screws up again
like last time?
What do we do with this guy now?
Ayyappan etta, if you're free,
chop those bananas.
I'm not free.
-Jose etta!
-Yes?
(in Hindi) I need some starch water.
Boiled rice water, right?
I'm just about to boil the rice now.
Yesterday's will do!
It must've turned sour.
I'm not drinking it. Sour is fine.
The doctor who came
to check Terry asked for it.
Oh? So boiled rice water
is a cure now?
I'll take it to her.
You take care of his bananas.
Shadow
Come, come, come.
Shadow
They won't even budge
without saluting this guy now.
Yup. You said it!
Even after training them
since morning,
they barely look at us!
So this is what gets
their tails wagging!
Shouldn't we wait
to confirm that too, sir?
We're reaching out to everyone
he was in contact with.
Hey! You there
Stop that!
No, sir. We haven't informed
his family yet.
Okay.
I'll call you back.
Hey, it's not "e" in Kurian,
it's an "a".
You're ruining my name
on my very first day?
You!
Even I don't know
much about it.
Yes, Sunil. What else?
He's also an expert
at drafting case reports.
If Ambili annan thinks
someone deserves punishment,
that accused is in real trouble.
His case reports are so tight,
the accused can't get bail
even from the Supreme Court.
Why didn't this version of him
come out when they took action?
Sir, unlike what's often
portrayed outside,
things here aren't simply
black and white.
No cop in any district can go
full movie supercop
and piss off everyone.
Especially not in Trivandrum!
So everyone sides with someone,
even if they won't admit it.
In the media and newspapers,
you see mentions
of KAAPA lists and mafias,
making it sound like
an underworld saga.
But when you actually see them,
what are they like?
Just another Rajesh,
Prakash or Aneesh.
Ordinary guys like us.
That's quite some socialism!
I'll be back in three months.
You'll say the same thing then, sir.
Which side was Ambili on?
Ambili annan doesn't take sides.
That's his style.
He stays on good terms
with everyone.
And that's exactly why
no one in Trivandrum
dares to cross him.
They often turn to Ambili annan
to handle those
who've stepped out of line.
Those guys respect him
because he refuses to take bribes.
That earns him extra merit
in their view.
So, he had this transfer coming.
It's all an adjustment.
Since they're overhauling
the whole station,
they gave him a token transfer
to avoid internal friction.
Hmm.
He said
he was heading home.
He boarded a bus to Thampanoor.
I dropped him at the bus station.
His house is in Edavila, right?
Then why did he take
the bus to Thampanoor?
There's a lottery stall there
he always visits.
Wherever he is, he always
goes there in the evening
to buy a bundle of lottery tickets
before heading home.
Do you know
that lottery stall's name?
Why is the department
so interested in him?
Ambili annan is a walking
directory of this city, sir.
Names, numbers
and every trick in the book,
he's got it.
Well, this guy
The advocate said Ambili
took the bus to Thampanoor.
Oh, yeah.
He has this lottery addiction.
He buys tickets worth ₹500
from there every day.
The advocate mentioned a stall
named Dhanalakshmi.
Yeah, that's his usual spot.
He's into omens and
superstitions, too.
If he wins ₹500,
he buys ten more right away.
Praveen, go check
at that lottery stall.
Since the owner is his friend,
you may get some information.
Will do.
So,
when are you leaving, Sunil?
In a bit.
Got the passport yesterday.
I just stuck around to see you, sir.
-You do this, Sunil.
-Yes?
-Stay back one more day.
-Huh?
I'll inform the Chengannur SHO.
But, sir, I've already
sent my family there.
We've even vacated
the police quarters.
Let them enjoy
one peaceful night at least.
You crash here tonight.
Take him with you.
Sir.
-Sir.
-Hmm.
He stopped by and selected
the serial numbers he liked.
Usually, Ambili annan
buys around 25 tickets.
But he didn't buy any yesterday.
-Why?
-He got a call in between
and got caught up with that.
-Did he say where he was going?
-He didn't say anything.
I saw him walk toward the junction,
still on the call.
What's the matter?
He's unreachable,
and he didn't show up
at the station either.
Try calling Bichu.
-Who? Puthiri?
-Yeah.
He's usually at the bridge
around that time.
If Ambili went that way,
Bichu would've seen him.
Come.
Huh?
Hey, Bichu!
Hey!
I was in Pattoor at that time.
Otherwise, sir always stops to talk
if he sees me.
Try asking around
at the bypass road.
I'll also check with my gang
and update you.
But don't go around
telling everyone.
Vinod annan said a few Karnataka guys
were hanging around,
probably cutting some deal.
-With Ambili annan?
-Yeah.
You go on.
I'll dig around and call you.
-This way, right?
-Yes. Go straight.
Where are you headed?
Want a lift?
It's fine. You go on.
How are you so sure
the car was following the auto?
Is this officer new here?
He joined yesterday.
He's from Alappuzha.
Mr. Alappuzha sir,
I've been selling
lottery tickets right here
at the bypass for nearly 55 years.
Do you remember what car it was?
It was a blue car.
Do you know the model?
Model
Hmm
Is it some exotic model never seen
in Bypass Junction for 55 years?
Blue colour Rion.
Variant: D-Lite Plus.
Come.
That rickshaw usually parks
at East Fort auto stand.
We're headed there now.
Okay.
Keep me updated.
Okay, sir.
Do you smell something fishy?
Sir, if what people say
about him is true,
he's got connections
on a whole different level.
And no one mentioned
he has a habit of ignoring calls.
Someone who's got
such high-level connections
could also have a few…
disconnections, right?
And now that the phone
is switched off,
we may need to officially track it.
Hmm.
Lord Padmanabha!
Okay then.
Let's go to Padmanabha!
-Huh?
-Padmanabha Movie Theatre.
Oh.
There he is, sir!
No. I think he spoke for a bit
before getting in.
-With the driver?
-Yes.
He got in after that.
Are you sure he got into the car?
I can't say for sure!
That's just what I think I saw.
I only saw it in the mirror!
Did he get into the front seat
or the rear seat?
Mmm
Do you remember the model?
No idea.
Just that it was blue in colour.
What was the registration number?
Didn't I already tell you?
It was parked,
like, 100 metres behind.
And I only caught
a glimpse in the mirror.
There was some sticker emblem on it.
What kind of emblem?
The kind you see on rental cars.
And you spotted
all that in a mirror, huh?
Come.
Where were you posted earlier?
-Huh?
-Where were you posted?
Mavelikara.
Be a little more cautious
dealing with things here,
especially with the locals.
This place isn't like Mavelikara.
First off, after four days of chaos,
the police have lost
all ground support.
If you don't tread carefully,
they'll screw you over!
Civil Police Officer K. Ambili Raju
from Kaniyarvila Police Station
has been missing
since the evening of the 11th.
The disappearance
of police officers,
allegedly due to heavy
workload and stress,
has sparked sharp criticism
from several quarters.
Earlier, in the months
of August and May,
CPO Rashid
from Kottayam East Station
and SI Saneesh from Payyanur
had also gone missing.
However, in Ambili Raju's case,
the Nedumangad DySP has stated
that there's no cause for concern
as they've traced his phone tower
and gathered relevant data.
Move aside.
Yeah, that's the one.
-We can report this, right?
-Huh?
Tell me, Noble.
The road and the drain
are quite far apart.
So, no way it just landed there
by chance.
Looks like it was flung
from a moving vehicle.
There's a crack
on the phone's corner.
A bit of tar dust too.
Praveen says the auto driver
saw Ambili get into a blue Rion.
In that case, he could have
Where did he board the auto?
Oh, yeah, Bypass Junction.
He could've boarded
there itself, right?
Well
maybe he didn't want
the lottery guy to see him.
There are some shops and an ATM
about 3 kilometres from here.
I'll check if any CCTV cameras
caught the car.
All right.
Shall we head out then?
-The lab is in Nemom, right?
-Yes.
Are we taking a different route?
Yes. We'll hit the bypass
and go straight.
In that case,
let them take the phone there.
You come with me, Shaju Bhai.
Okay.
What do you think, Shaju Bhai?
Just as you said, sir.
Doesn't look like
it fell there on its own.
Did you spot anything
that's not obvious?
If there was,
you'd have spotted it first, sir.
You must've seen quite a few scenes
like this, haven't you?
Sometimes, seeing too many
can also be a problem.
You start seeing
the same old things every time.
But I did realise something.
But let's wait
till the lab confirms.
I suspect there might be blood stains
on the back of the phone.
Not entirely sure though.
That's why I said
it's better to wait for the lab report.
I'll call him. One of you
-Who's this?
-Sir!
He's from the People-Friendly
Policing committee.
Ask him to come later.
Don't you remember me, sir?
Rajeevan
Ah, yes, Rajeevan.
Please step outside.
-Come.
-You can sit here, sir.
It's all right.
What's the update?
The phone has been sent
to the lab, sir.
They said the data
will be retrieved by 4:00 p.m.
Who went to the spot
from our side?
-Er It's Noble.
-Call him.
Okay.
-Sir.
-Yes.
-You're into sports, right?
-Yes, sir.
Athletics or games?
Games. Volleyball.
Since you were in DCRB,
you could attend
practice regularly, right?
Still think you can
log out at 5:00 p.m.
and run to the ground here?
Did you leave your lunch halfway
when you went to recover the phone?
I'm asking because
you barely showed up at the scene
and rushed straight back!
What stopped you
from going to the lab yourself?
You sent the phone
with someone else instead.
Didn't it occur to you that
you should've followed up in person?
Sir
We're checking his recent contacts
and gathering details.
Apparently, he had
some shady connections.
You don't have to give me
a lecture about Ambili!
What about the car rental company?
-Did you find it?
-Still looking into it.
How?
By sitting here and googling it?
The stains on the phone
have been confirmed to be blood.
They checked the blood group.
It matches Ambili's.
Things won't progress if you wait
for the result to be emailed, kiddo.
Talk to his family again.
See if you can get
any additional details.
Sir!
Don't mention the bloodstains
to anyone just yet.
You may leave.
I pursued sports because
I genuinely loved the game,
not because I lacked skills
or was poor in studies.
I can't reach here without
clearing the SI test, right?
Forget it, sir.
He only said that
in the heat of the moment.
I'm not saying
he was completely wrong either.
If you'd given me a heads-up,
we could've gone straight to the lab.
Shaju Bhai, going forward,
whatever it is, speak to me openly.
Sometimes, these things
just don't occur to me.
I'm not the kind who gets hung up
on ego or hierarchy.
-Understood?
-Sir.
I don't want any medals, Shaju Bhai.
I just want to get through this
without complaints.
Steffy, I'll call you
in the evening.
Wait a second, don't hang up.
I had tied Roby to the pillar
in the front yard.
-I was in the kitchen when--
-Just get to the point, Steffy!
Did he break loose?
-No.
-Then what?
A stray dog came in
and picked a fight with Roby.
And then?
I screamed and chased it away.
Thankfully, Roby didn't get hurt.
So, everything's fine now, right?
You said his name
is Ayyappan, right?
Yes.
Does your father meet him often?
Uncle doesn't come here that often.
Where does he work?
He works at different places.
When you say "Uncle,"
do you mean Ayyappan
is his own brother?
My husband was first married
to another woman.
I married him
after they got separated.
Ayyappan is that woman's
second husband.
Did Ambili chettan have any issues
with Ayyappan?
They seem like good friends
when they talk.
I haven't heard of any issues.
And anyway,
we rarely see him around.
He's in jail most of the time.
Who? Ayyappan?
Yes.
Ask around,
and you'll know who he is.
Ah!
I checked on this Ayyappan
as soon as you called.
He is an ex-convict.
He was on the DC list
from 1986 to 2001.
Back then, in every four robbery cases
in Trivandrum or Nagercoil,
Ayyappan's name would come up
in at least three.
He was finally caught in 1996.
Got 12 years
for about 10 to 15 cases.
The sentence was later reduced.
During the last four years
of his term,
he was assigned
to Kaliyikkavila Station on probation.
Under the DySP's supervision,
probation for good conduct!
The reasoning was that he'd slip
back to his old ways if released.
Well, whatever.
Later, they started giving him
driving duties at different places.
Eventually you know that place
for retired police dogs?
What's it called again?
That dog retirement shelter
Where was it? In Thrissur.
It's called Aashraya.
-Yes.
-He was sent there.
You could say he's half a cop now!
I called and checked
with the dog retirement shelter.
He's been working there
for the past two years,
doing housekeeping
and part-time driver duty.
But he hasn't shown up all week.
He told the officer-in-charge
that he had to rush home urgently.
But
he hasn't reached
home either, right?
Didn't you check
with Ayyappan's wife about this?
Ambili's old
Yes.
I met her too before coming back.
Ambili annan got involved with her
while still married to me.
Men sometimes have
these side gigs, right?
I figured it was
one of those things.
But then, when she got pregnant,
she threatened to hang herself
if he didn't marry her.
She's mentally a bit delicate too.
So I was the one who told
Ambili annan not to take the risk.
-Does Ambili chettan come here often?
-Yes.
When Ayyappan's around,
or when he's not?
He comes when Ayyappan's here,
and even when he's not.
Have they ever had
any tension over that?
Not at all.
Ayyappan ettan knows about it too.
It was Ambili annan
who got me married to him.
Do you have any idea
what their bond is like?
What's it like?
Cops and robbers
are born soulmates, aren't they?
Soulmates!
As per the call records,
Ambili called Ayyappan
multiple times last week.
None of them were answered.
Ambili also tried tracking
Ayyappan's phone
with help from a friend
in the Cyber Cell.
So this really was
a cops-and-robbers game, huh?
Anything else in the CDR?
In the past ten days,
Ambili received
several incoming calls
from a SIM card
registered in Karnataka.
Each call lasted between
30 and 40 seconds.
Then, around 6:00 p.m. yesterday,
he received a message
from Ayyappan's number.
Not on WhatsApp.
Just a regular SMS.
And the content?
Blue Rion. Bypass Junction.
Given the timing,
Ambili got that SMS from Ayyappan
while he was at Thampanoor.
So it's safe to assume
he went to Bypass Junction
looking for that car.
All right, assign a team
to track Ayyappan and that car.
He knows how to drive.
And moreover,
vehicle theft was his main event.
There's information that Ambili went
to Vizhinjam recently
to mediate a sand mining dispute.
The names Mithilaj
and Aji Vellayani popped up.
Both goons are reportedly involved.
Follow that lead too.
Let's see where it takes us.
Okay, sir.
Sure you don't want anything?
There's enough for two.
No, sir.
My friend's waiting for me.
Oh Where are you staying?
At my friend's apartment
in Kazhakkoottam for now.
-Okay then. Bye.
-All right, sir.
Are you coming anytime soon?
I'm on my way.
I actually called
for something else.
Roby got into a fight
with another dog today.
No injuries or anything.
but I thought
an anti-rabies shot would be safer.
In that case, you should've given it
within three hours of the incident.
It happened at 4:00 p.m.,
and you're asking me now?
Did Steffy call you?
You do know
she's got anxiety, right?
Either don't get pets
for people who are this impulsive,
or show the same energy
you had when buying it
to take care of it too.
Anyway, just come over.
Sir, we got a call from Kasaragod
about those dogs.
When are they bringing them?
The de-induction is next Saturday,
so they'll reach on the 12th.
Two female dogs and a male dog.
-Put them in the B-block.
-Okay.
Also, it would be great
if we could send that bill today.
Plumbing work is still pending.
Hmm.
-Reji
-Yes?
I got a call from Trivandrum
about the missing cop.
They were asking about Ayyappan.
They might show up here.
I don't want any slips
from anyone.
Everyone needs to be clear
on what can be disclosed.
