Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Move!
Dad!
Let go of me!
Dad!
Get up, Dad!
Dad!
Let go of me!
Dad!
Dad!
I've spoken to the local SP there.
For now, keep the detainment
of the Kannada cops off the record.
We'll file it officially only if
it becomes absolutely necessary.
Okay.
It's a matter
between two states, after all.
If this gets out,
it'll be a disgrace for both sides.
As Noble suggested,
let's go after Ayyappan.
All right.
Any further findings?
Not much. But
since Ayyappan wasn't responding,
Ambili tried to get info on him
through his friend in the Cyber Cell.
But then Ayyappan himself
texted Ambili the Rion car's details.
And Ambili went with him
in that same car.
This is the part where
we need more clarity.
Regarding the money Ambili used
to pay off the Kannada police,
we haven't been able to
track its source yet.
Yes, you mentioned that.
I just have a suspicion.
Could Ambili have tasked Ayyappan
with arranging the funds?
Ayyappan is an ex-thief.
Weird as he is,
there's a strong bond between them.
-Have you filed him as absconding?
-Yes.
Get theft case reports
from Thrissur and Ernakulam
since the 10th of this month.
Okay.
If we find anything useful,
we'll send Ayyappan's details
to the concerned stations,
along with his modus operandi
from the time when he was active.
And if needed, the data bank
should have more on him, right?
The data bank
might be a dead end.
Back in 2001,
Ayyappan's name was removed
from the serial offenders' list
since he was no longer
an active criminal.
The Crime Branch only created
the data bank a few years later, right?
In that case,
check the jail records.
They'll have his details, right?
Okay.
Dad, they're fixing the bund
near Lalichayan's place.
The current could get stronger
at any time.
Tell my son
not to play in the canal.
Your mom's been telling him
over and over.
You should talk to him too, Dad.
She's not great at scaring him
into listening.
What should we do,
talk to him like you talk to suspects?
If everyone keeps scaring him,
who's there to take his side?
Why don't you just take him
along with you?
Can you do that?
But he only listens to you.
Kids should be treated
in a way they ought to be.
Then anyone can raise them right.
I'll put him on.
You explain the danger to him.
I don't have time for that.
Just tell him I said so.
Assuming Ayyappan messaged Ambili
while still in the blue Rion car,
I tried tracking
Ayyappan's phone.
It stayed active till it crossed Cherthala,
then Pattanakkad, and up to Ezhupunna.
They probably ditched the phone
and SIM along the way.
So we can confirm
the car went towards Ernakulam.
Someone who came all the way
to Trivandrum, did all this,
and got rid of the phone and SIM,
probably wouldn't keep driving
around in the same car, right?
Since the police
can track the car,
he wouldn't have dumped it
just anywhere either.
Right.
Until he gets to safety,
if the vehicle hasn't been seized,
it gives him some breathing room.
Among the cars stolen
from the Thrissur-Ernakulam region,
check if any blue Rion
has been reported.
-Okay.
-Even if the number plate is fake,
we've got the identifiers
shared by the petrol bunk staff.
There's a Ganapathy idol
on the dashboard
and a U-shaped scratch
on the fuel tank.
Anyway, let's ramp up the search
between Cherthala and Ernakulam.
Send out a message through the PCR.
Check bus depots, garages,
open grounds, railway stations
Let's conduct thorough checks
at all locations.
-Good morning, sir!
-Ah! Didn't you go to your room?
No, sir. Thought I'd just come,
sign and head out.
All right then.
You can leave after this.
We've summoned the person.
Sir.
So, Shaju Bhai, you think we might need
to go to Thrissur again?
Looks like it.
The people at the dog shelter
seemed to be hiding something.
Hmm.
That day, you told us
Ayyappan hadn't come home
in a month.
Right?
Yes.
You knew that was a lie.
Now, we know it too.
So let's not waste time arguing.
If you don't pay them the money,
are you sure they'll hurt you?
You know how cops are, don't you?
I just wanted to check
if Karnataka Police are any better.
They're worse.
Aren't you already playing
enough games here?
Why go mess things up
in Karnataka too?
Fuck Didn't I already tell you
I didn't mess anything up?
Other than introducing Mithilaj
to those fuckers from Kasaragod,
I had no part in it.
Then ask Mithilaj
to cover your share too.
Oh! You don't want
to be obligated, is that it?
His Highness Ambili Varma!
You've got all these connections
from playing the Godfather, right?
Still haven't managed
to save a single fuckin' rupee?
You're on
the premium list of thieves.
What the fuck have you even earned?
Well, not everyone does things
just for the money, you know?
Exactly! At least get that straight!
Just stop arguing already
and try to figure out a way
to get the money.
Cut this bullshit!
How am I supposed to come up
with that kind of money so fast?
If it were just five or ten grand,
I could've managed.
There's a way out,
but only you can do it.
What way?
You told me about it yourself, bro.
If it can be done fast,
I'm ready to leave right now.
I need to be back
in Thrissur by tomorrow.
It's in Thrissur anyway.
Go inside.
Let's not do that.
I don't get you.
Doesn't feel right to me.
I mean I don't understand
why you'd say that.
Look, you'll benefit too.
After I cover my share,
whatever is left is yours.
I've done everything
you've asked me to do till now.
But forget about this.
It's not like you don't have
the skill for it, right?
I've done plenty
of wicked things.
I'm not denying that.
But those were all done
out of my own will.
So, you're saying you can't do
what I'm asking now?
Haven't I done whatever
you asked so far?
Don't forget
how you got here, okay?
This current status and
job of yours,
you or your dad didn't
just dig it up one fine day!
These guys are the limit!
Stop being so hostile
with each other!
Am I the one being hostile here?
He swore at my dad,
and I still kept quiet!
He's just under pressure,
that's all.
If you haven't forgotten
what he has done for us,
then do whatever it is
he's asking for.
Obligation always comes
with baggage like this.
You didn't ask them what they
were planning to do in Thrissur?
They would never reveal that, sir.
They know exactly what to say
and whom to say it to.
I know both of them, don't I?
Hmm. Okay.
So, Ayyappan left for Thrissur
that very day, as Ambili told him?
-Yes.
-And he hasn't come back since?
-No.
-Not even a phone call?
No.
Chechi,
we're asking these questions
not just to uncover
what we don't know,
but to spot what you're hiding
from what we already do.
Even if you lie,
the call records won't.
Four days after he left,
Ayyappan called your number.
He said the money was arranged.
How?
I don't know, sir.
-Didn't he say anything else?
-No.
The call duration was 2.50 minutes.
Was he just saying
"the money's arranged"
over and over for that long?
What are you even saying?
I'm serious.
I'm done letting someone else
run my life.
You always get these ideas
when you're stoned!
I'm sober right now!
Come. There's a passenger train
at 10:30 a.m.
I'm not going anywhere.
Don't we deserve a life of our own?
Do you really want us
to be his puppets forever?
I've got enough money now
to start fresh somewhere else.
If you were in your right mind,
you wouldn't be saying all this.
There you go again!
Listen! Obligations should stay
just that: obligations.
That doesn't mean we have to live
like a dog on a leash.
He made me leave everything behind,
just to keep me on a short leash.
And when he needs something,
he just takes that leash off
and drags me
into all this shady crap.
He doesn't give a damn how I feel.
All he cares about
is getting his work done.
But didn't all that end up
helping you?
You were buried in cases,
and he gave you
this position, right?
Didn't he clear your name
and get you a respectable job?
Didn't he even get you a family?
Did I ever ask him
to do all that for me?
Did I ever go begging him?
No, right?
No matter what you say
or how much money you throw around,
I won't back you
in cheating Ambili annan.
Pack a kilo of onions too!
Control Room to all stations.
Within the jurisdiction
of Ernakulam Town South Police Station,
a severed finger has been recovered,
believed to be that of a male
over 50 years of age.
Medium complexion.
Nail shows white discolouration.
Blood group: AB positive.
As per the lab report,
the finger was severed
when the body was lifeless.
As additional body parts
may have been disposed of,
search efforts must be intensified
across all station jurisdictions.
This order comes
from the Honourable Delta.
The concerned SHOs
with any matching man-missing cases
must immediately contact
Town South Police Station.
If further clarification is needed,
contact Control. Over.
-Hello, Manoj sir.
-Vinu, are you at the station?
Gosh! We're investigating someone
you worked with, right?
Shouldn't you be a little curious
to see how it turns out?
Sunil,
since you know
all the local references,
you've been really helpful to us.
And don't worry about Chengannur.
The CI said you can go
once we wrap things up here.
It's not about joining
the station, sir.
If I don't rejoin my family
in two days,
my wife says
she'll send a divorce notice.
Can I just visit for a day
and then come back?
Fine, fine.
Yes. Tell me, Manoj.
Sir, it's not under my jurisdiction.
But an incident has been reported
here within Central Station limits.
So I wanted to cross-check
something.
Can you send his details
to the Central Station?
Whose? Ambili's?
Yes. Also, it would help if one
of your officers could come down.
What exactly is going on?
Why don't you reconsider it, chetta?
He's your relative too, isn't he?
I tolerated it this long
only because he's family.
But if he doesn't value
that relationship, why should I?
Sir, Aroor Patrol is on the line.
They've located a blue Rion
near the railway station.
Deal with this.
Namaste, sir.
Sreejith.
Yes, Sreejith.
Do the features on the car match?
There's no Ganapathy idol
on the dashboard.
No UDriv sticker either.
But the petrol tank cap
has a U-shaped scratch.
The vehicle is registered
to Ernakulam.
Can we proceed without confirming
if it's a civilian vehicle?
Sir, Aroor is a small station
where only passenger trains stop.
Mostly it's regular commuters
who leave their cars parked all day.
Out of all the cars,
this one is the dustiest.
And it's mostly carbon
and, er, metal dust.
The road opposite the station
was tarred two days ago.
So you're saying a car parked today
wouldn't collect so much metal dust?
Yes.
-Which station does this area fall under?
-Aroor, sir.
Okay. Keep the car
in the parking lot for now.
Let the lab technicians
deal with it first.
One of us will come over tomorrow.
Okay, sir.
Kerala Police enters the finals
of the All India Police Meet
Volleyball Tournament.
They defeated Punjab in the semis.
Feeling relieved now?
Orissa will face Haryana
in the second semifinal on Saturday.
The idea that things won't run
without us is a misconception.
Things will go on just fine,
even if we're not there.
That's exactly the problem.
We can't let them realise
that they don't really need us.
Did you plan to become a cop?
Never.
I'm one of those people
society turned into a policeman.
I studied abroad,
school and all that.
My brother is abroad too.
Before I finished 12th grade,
he got married and settled there.
Even got his kid enrolled
in school over there.
You know how it goes.
The usual. Parents back home
in Kerala, who are ageing.
Someone has to stay
with them, right?
Same!
And since I had
no grand dreams anyway,
I don't have any complaints.
Wherever I end up,
I'll give it my best.
It's the ring finger.
During dissection,
the surgeon confirmed the person
was already dead at first examination.
Do the lab results match?
The blood group is AB positive.
But to confirm
if it's Ambili's finger,
we need more time.
We went through it
second by second.
No one walked into that exact spot.
No cars stopped to dump anything.
None of the nearby shopkeepers
or auto drivers
noticed anything suspicious either.
The finger is quite distorted.
The bones have crumbled.
The muscles and nerves seem crushed.
Could it have been
run over by a vehicle?
If so, it must've happened
somewhere else earlier.
Because the area shows no signs
of vehicle movement.
Also,
there was a slimy layer
around the finger, apparently.
Looks like the car has been washed.
Have you settled the issue
with the cops from Karnataka?
Cyril sir is speaking
with their SP this evening.
Most likely, they'll be let off
with just a notice.
To file a case,
we'd need to explain
who gave the money
and under what pretext.
It'll be like washing
our dirty linen in public.
We'll make sure they leave in a way
that they won't show up again.
Told you, didn't I?
Everyone here checked
it multiple times.
No human soul went
that way that night.
Maybe not a human.
But take a look at this.
The surgeon's report noted
that the finger was partially crushed.
There was also a remark:
"as if chewed by someone."
What if this dog
vomited out that finger?
Didn't you mention there was
a slimy layer around the finger?
There are these enzymes
that help with digestion, right?
If we can detect traces
of them on the finger,
we may be able to confirm it.
These enzymes are found
in our stomachs,
and they help with digestion.
Dogs have the same enzymes
in their stomachs too.
Sir, blood stains have been found
on the car seat.
Yes.
It's confirmed to be AB positive.
Anything else?
Some hair strands were found too.
They've been sent for testing.
Did you get the car's details?
Yes. It's registered
to Njarackal, Paravur.
It was reported stolen
three weeks ago at Njarackal Station.
I've spoken to the SI there.
If everything else is done,
you can head back.
-Okay, sir.
-Noble!
The lab just confirmed
the presence of amylase strands.
Since the finger was barely chewed
while being swallowed,
it came out mostly intact
when the dog threw up.
And there's some trivia about
how much of it
had actually been digested.
I don't get you.
Once food reaches the stomach,
there's a fixed digestion rate
-for it to start breaking down, right?
-Yes.
It's the same across all animals.
Correlating that to the physical form
in which the finger came out,
it couldn't have stayed in the dog's
stomach for more than 10 minutes.
So, that means the dog threw it up
within 10 minutes of swallowing it?
Yes.
Is there a garbage dump
near where it was found?
Like a regular dumping site?
Where in Kochi don't we have one?
Sir.
This is a bit unorthodox.
And I can't say for sure
what we'll get out of it.
Just tell me, dude.
What if we create a route map
of the dog's movement
for the ten minutes
before it appeared on the footage?
It's a white dog with black patches.
Should be relatively
easier to track.
We'll check all available cameras
in the area.
Shops, ATMs, banks,
even traffic cams.
Whatever footage we can get.
We need footage from
every possible direction.
Using them, we'll try
to reverse-track the dog's path.
It's a stray dog, right?
It could've wandered anywhere.
But there's only so much distance
a dog can cover in ten minutes, right?
Hey, here you go.
Rajaji Road.
Salim Rajan Road, Banerjee Road,
TC Thomas Road.
Okay?
From which side did the dog
enter the spot first?
From GR Raja Road.
Justin, scan the link roads
starting at GR Raja Road.
TB Road, Marakkar Street,
then Annie Marcose Road.
He's from Marakkar Street.
Now, on to the next shot!
Bro, we're not directing
a movie here.

Damn it!
Bloody dog!
Yes, yes! I got it.
This is useless.
Why? It's the same dog, isn't it?
This isn't hide-and-seek, dude.
We need more than just the dog.
The time code needs to match too.
Check the time code on that.
This is 45 minutes earlier
than what we're after.
What we need to figure out is
where the dog was
about 15 minutes
before it reached the spot
where we found the finger.
Hmm. Okay.
The dog was spotted
there at 12:13 a.m., sir.
Damn!
We're screwed!
What happened?
In the last clip,
the dog's coming out of this colony.
Shit!
There's no damn CCTV in there.
Where else does this colony
have entrances and exits?
Aren't there two ways
toward Kadavanthra?
There are three openings toward
the Metro side and LIC too.
Okay.
Got it! Got it!
There's our buddy!
It's the same dog, right?
Definitely! Black patches on white
and a stick-like tail.
This is near the KSRTC bus stand.
Sir Sir
-What's the update?
-We've covered almost everything.
Tell me, Noble.
Which camera was
that last clip from?
From the JL Ceramics godown.
Can you give me the exact location?
It's in the south area, dude.
