"Yes, my dear Kurup" "Though relieved from the case that cheap girl made me lose Rs18,00000 I wouldn't have felt so bad if there actually was ...something explosive as the newspapers made out" "This was like having a full meal and yet remaining hungry" "I am right now traveling the Kottayam-Kattappana route" "Rememberthat doctor who examined me and certified that such an incident never happened?" "Yes, Dr Kurian George I am on way to stuff 3 lakhs down his throat" "Who the hell is that?" "Yes, dude His house is in Kottayam" "But he is not there now" "He's gone to Kattapana to some forest on a hunting trip" "Yes with this, his quota will be over Who the hell is that?" "Listen Kurup, I will call you back later Disconnect now" "Who the hell is swearing like this from behind?" "It's a lady" "Lady?" "How did you guess?" "Look at this" "Let me see" "Santhosh, those hands are quite youthful I too thought so Max 25 years" "Look man, allow her some space" "But boss, then she will just drive away" "Fool, don't give her enough space to overtake" "She's parallel to us..." "like this" "Let me see her 1st" "Then I shall decide whether to allow her to overtake or to drive alongside her" "Oh!" "So that's your idea Now I understand" "Come on get her nearer I say" "Slowly" "Hey!" "You don't need to look at her, okay?" "Santhosh, she's quite a gal, man She appears to guess what I want lsn't it a well known fact, boss that in such matters luck is always with you" "Go alongside as close as you can" "Hey baby, coming here?" "Or shall I come there?" "Excuse me" "Sir, she has identified these ornaments as belonging to her daughter" "Abdul Haji's son, Yousuf of Kodivalappu" "Since the prosecution has failed to provide ample proof to support the charges ...filed against the defendant ...the court hereby releases the accused unconditionally" "Moreover, the destitute women centre ...which had been shut down following police raid ...as well as other social organizations run by the accused with good intentions ...the court is fully convinced about authenticity of such activities" "And so gives him full freedom to continue heading such organizations in future" "The ips officer investigating this case does not have sufficient years in service" "The enquiries in this case and many procedures ...from the police has been totally one sided" "The court finds the over enthusiasm and lack of experience of the enquiring officer as reasons" "Acting on the basis of a mere newspaper report without proper evidences damaging the reputation of the accused who is also a social worker ...situation of the enquiring officer in such circumstances is truly unfortunate" "The otherfactor that has caused the court misgivings was the irresponsible and inconsiderate manner with which media has behaved" "A reporter without ethics, if he wanted can for some period at least make a person a criminal in the eyes of the public" "This case is a perfect example" "Listen Mila, I did not..." "Dude, he mentioned reporters in general Your name was never mentioned, was it?" "Don't utter another word" "Mentioning my name too would have totally satisfied you, isn't it?" "I jumped and acted on your words which has made me hear all this today I am very sure, my dear lawyer that Yousuf and his brother Yakub will be responsible for my death" "Hey man!" "Journalism is not for utter cowards like you" "You should stop all this And go do some job which is much safer" " My job is not like yours" " How can you say that?" "Hey stop it!" "This is like the squabble of a couple who've come to a family court for divorce" "What's over is over Let's go in for an appeal against this" "My foot!" "There is not going to be any appeal You try reaching home, my dear lawyer" "Let me also go before the next rains" "Actually this appeal should be..." "Okay, no..." "Shree!" "What's it my friend?" "That fellow's stance on the bike appears to be a little abnormal, dude i just remembered an important file for tomorrow's case I will be back with it soon, okay?" "After bringing this upon our heads now don't you dare laugh!" "You lt was you alone at fault" "Yes lt was my fault" "That's exactly why I say just go and retrieve your vehicle bravely" "That fellow will not be able to do anything to you" "Go I'll be near my jeep I will go only after you leave" "Give me that key, Yakub I am busy I will" "Just stretch out your right hand I'll give it to you" "Wasn't it this hand that wrote all that stuff against my brother?" "So I have decided to take this hand for myself" "You can eat drink and wash yourself with just 1 hand here after" "A single hand is more than enough to write about criminals like you and your brother" "He's gone Now what will you do?" "Yakub, our issues should not be solved here" "Let me know when and where l shall come there" "That is not enough, Mila I want you on these court premises and that too, today" "I found the working space too little here So I thought I'll park the jeep outside lt's our duty to look after public property" "Yakub, don't ask for kicks from boots the government has authorized" "Go, chop up a goat and give your brother some soup" "His body was roughened up by police while in custody" "Can never say when he will fall" "Shreeramakrishna!" "You are about to be paid back for everything you did to my brother" "Hey Mila!" "He left with his bike as soon as the fight began, sir" "Who is it?" "Who is it, I say?" "You nasty cur!" "You never called even once to find out if I was dead or alive lsn't that why I am watching this news channel continuously" "Take away the knife, dude lf something had happened to you will there not be flash news saying..." "Asst Superintendent of Police Shreeramakrishna injured?" "If I hadn't interfered in time there would've been ...some other news scrolled across" "I think, with this the 1st suspension order is ready for me" "The Superintendent of Police wants to see me tomorrow, wonder what will happen?" "Born under the 27th asterism and with Venus's fantastic influence ...remember I had once stated that till your 34th year you'd lead a blessed life?" "Yes, I do" "What did you reply then?" "If Venus was this bad then what would be my fate under Saturn?" "When I got your suspension order yesterday at noon ...I felt what you said that day was true" "But I was convinced of the power of this asterism along with Venus when I got this envelope last evening" "There was a meeting yesterday to discuss the internal affairs of our state" "The Central Minister at Delhi asked our State Minister for an explanation" "Regarding a car that exploded in a bomb near Elappara 2 days back ...in which a business man and social worker Balagangadharan was killed" "Though our minister managed with whatever information ...he had, the Minister in Delhi was not at all satisfied" "He has insisted on a condition regarding the investigation of that case" "He wants only you to take up further investigations" "Me?" "What do you mean, sir?" "How does he know me?" "That is the suspense in this matter" "Balagangadaran's nephew is amongst the most trusted staff of the Central Home Minister" "Ayoung blood like you He was the one who recommended your name" "He made the Central Minister request for you very strongly lt is that order in this envelope" "Why do you look disinterested?" "This Balagangadharan who you claim is a businessman and social worker ...has another claim to fame which you have left out" "He was a chronic womanizer" "He was recently accused in almost 3-4 cases of molestation" "That I know So what?" "His character as well as his atrocities in business and politics has earned him ...many enemies at the top levels" "Not only that, donning this uniform I can't nab a 3rd rate character like Yousuf" "Think of my fate tackling big shots like them under the pretext of investigation" "But this Balagangadharan case has so far not revealed the presence of big shots" "You would have come to know through media broadcasts" "Daksha Das a 23 year old engineering student committed that murder" "She also died in the explosion" "Balagangadharan's driver Santosh in his dying statement has said ...that Daksha, with precise planning had deliberately committed this murder" "But we have not been able to establish any relationship or vengeful motive between Daksha and Balagangadharan lt is this point of the case that I feel is most thrilling I understand what you mean But I..." "Shreeram, this is notjust a cat and mouse game ...like the others you have handled so far I am sure this will be a different experience for you" "All details of this investigation including the dying declaration of Santhosh is here in this file Anyway, all the best" "Right from Mundakayam that girl was right behind us" "When we were near Elappara boss asked me to allow her to come alongside" "Finally when there was not enough space and both cars were traveling parallel ...she waved her hand at my boss and pressed the buttons of the remote control" "Then an explosion That's all I remember" "What is your opinion on this?" "What opinion could I possibly have?" "At least he's gone without suffering anymore" "That itself is a great blessing" "That's not what I meant, dude The question is, where should I begin?" "With Balagangadharan or Daksha Frankly, I am a little confused in this I knew when you called me desperately that you had some new conflict" "Haven't you had enough getting me into trouble, Shree?" "Haven't I told you many times that when you are with me ...I have immense confidence" "But I don't feel the same I have told you after the Yousuf case to go your way and leave me to mine I am preparing an article on the problems launderers' face during rainy season" "Likewise I shall spend the rest of my life writing stuff without troubling anyone else" "Please don't harass me anymore" "Go I don't need your help anymore to investigate this case I have started my investigation with a very precise plan I have a list of people who are ...Balagangadharan's enemies in business and politics" "You just wait and see I will haul up every one of them however big a vip he is" "Then you are in for trouble" "My dear Shree, stop being impulsive and ...start dealing with matters after analyzing it" "Then start investigating it lf Balagangadharan is a novel with 100 pages ...that girl Daksha is just a short story of 2-3 pages" "Whatever we read we want only one information" "So why not start with Daksha...?" "So why not begin with the short story called Daksha, isn't it?" "Yes, of course" "Now I am sure my investigation has started in the correct route" "What do you think of my brains ...for extracting information without you realizing it?" "This kick is not for you But those who gave you the ips position" "Get lost" "Are you leaving?" "Don't go, don't be angry with me" "Friend oh my friend I am filled with affection for you" "You are forever on the lap of my thoughts" "Within the waves of the sea he is an emerald isle" "Friend, he is always my friend" "Friend oh my friend I am filled with affection for you" "You are forever on the lap of my thoughts" "Within the waves of the sea he is an emerald isle" "Friend, he is always my friend ln those songs you sing within the nest of love ...this is the beautiful silken kerchief" "Friend oh my friend" "Unending rains" "He came with me in those rains Accompanying me through out" "This brother who is not my natural brother" "Friend oh my friend" "Friend oh my friend I am filled with affection for you" "You are forever on the lap of my thoughts" "Within the waves of the sea he is an emerald isle" "Friend, he is always my friend" "Unending rains" "He came with me in those rains Accompanying me through out" "This brother who is not my natural brother" "Friend oh my friend" "Even the bees in winds come whispering, friend" "Times have etched on stone the word 'friend'" "Who is this friend, what is he?" "This is the friend, my friend" "Unending rains" "He came with me in those rains Accompanying me through out" "This brother who is not my natural brother" "Long live our revolution" "Long live unity of employees" "Long live our revolution" "Long live unity of employees" "Friend oh my friend I am filled with affection for you" "You are forever on the lap of my thoughts" "Within the waves of the sea he is an emerald isle" "Friend, he is always my friend ln those songs you sing within the nest of love ...this is the beautiful silken kerchief" "Friend oh my friend" "Unending rains" "He came with me in those rains Accompanying me through out" "This brother who is not my natural brother" "Friend oh my friend" " Sir, tea" " How old was she when... 15 years She was in 10th grade lt was big news in the papers" " Were you also here in those days?" " Yes" "Regarding all that happened from the time" "Sudakshana died right up to Daksha's killing ...you are 1 more person who has known everything, right?" "Achu'tta" "It's impossible that Achu'ttan knows anything more than I do, sir" "You can ask me whatever you want to know" "Naturally I want to know about Daksha" "What was she?" "What was her purpose?" "I may be able to answerthe 1st question" "When my husband Shivadas died in a car accident ...Daksha was 6 years and Sudakshana 12 years old" "We were teachers in the same college And in the same department ln spite of being the only daughter of a rich man ...or having a job to sustain myself in life I too fell prey to the illusion that a woman cannot live without the protection of a man" "The man who came replacing my husband's post in college replaced my husband in my life also" "My miscalculations began" "An unscrupulous man who looked at any woman with lustful eyes" "The one who should have considered my Sudakshana as his own daughter ...in front of Daksha" "Sister!" "That day I lost not only Sudakshana but also Daksha" "She has never called me mom ever since that incident" "3 years later the court let him scot free claiming he was not guilty" "When he came out of the court after the judgment" "Daksha confronted him with a knife in her hand" "Fortunately he escaped that day" "Were there any more attempts by Daksha to kill him?" "To my knowledge once more" "When she was in her 12th grade in a book stall in town" "Till her death, did she feel revenge against her step father?" "Sorry, I do not know his name Isaac Isaac Pannikar" "Did she have feelings of revenge towards Isaac Pannikar?" "It only increased everyday lf Daksha was prepared to kill the 1st person she would choose would be Isaac, right?" "Yes" "How did this Balagangadharan come in?" "Why did she feel hatred towards that man?" "I do not know, sir" "Let alone revenge, I am sure she didn't even know him" "This is Daksha's room She spent most of her time in here" " Does this system belong to Daksha?" " Yes" " Can I?" " Please" "is there a rock quarry here?" "These sounds appear quite frequently lt's about a kilometer away" "Before or after her death has anyone else used her computer?" "No, this was only used by her" "Why sir, any problem?" "No, nothing lsn't there anybody else as a help other than Achuthan Nair here?" "A lady comes from nearby to cook and household chores" "Her husband comes in for odd jobs in the garden" "He is a permanent worker at the quarry" "What is his name?" "Kelu" "My hand just broke" "I am taking him lf anyone resists, his head will burst and scatter like the rocks you blast" "The bomb that killed Balagangadharan and Daksha contained 40% gunpowder" "That means it was the local gun powder used to blast the rocks in the quarry I want to know whether you gave only this gun powder to Daksha ...or was it a mixture of aluminum silica and glass powder" "A remote controlled bomb that was powerful enough to blast 2 cars" "My dear sir, let alone gun powder I haven't given that kid even a sparkler" "She was totally mad, sir" "And this madness turned violent to which now I appear to be answerable" "You nasty dog!" "Are you playing with a policeman?" "No!" "Barson Stop" "Kelu" "What is it?" "This case is not the usual squabble or spurious liquor you are usually accused of" "This is murder That too a suicide bombing lf you don't co-operate now ...it won't be the harmless Kerala Police who will interrogate you further lt will be from Delhi" "Then you will be labeled a terrorist Pakistani spy etc." "...and be behind bars for life" "No!" "I'll reveal everything I will tell you whatever I know" "Come on, tell" "About a week before all this happened I had gone to their place to cut a few banana bunches as per Mr Nair's instructions" "Hey!" "Isn't it little Daksha?" "Why did you pretend not to hear me when I called out to you at the junction?" "Did you call me?" "When?" "Don't try to fool me with that stupid face of yours" "Oh!" "Forgive me, little one I couldn't come when I was totally drunk" "Do you beat up Madhavi after getting drunk?" "Of course not, that was in those days Now she is dearerthan life to me" "If you give me so much at a time I might get recklessly drunk and beat her up" "This is not for that You have to bring me something" "What is it, lassie?" "Lass, don't let anyone know about this I do have to survive in these parts I don't care who comes to know Neither do I have intentions to inform anyone" "Please be careful, little one lt is gun powder" "Listening to Kelu's statement and the websites on Daksha's computer ...to make the bomb as well as to plan this crime ...Daksha did not seek anyone's help" "This is what we can confirm conclusively" "How to make a bomb right up to most modern weapons which we have not even heard of ...are readily available on these websites" "A brilliant electronics engineering student like Daksha would've been able to do so easily" "Sir!" "What happened, Kabir?" "Did you enquire?" "I did, sir" "Akhila Devarajan, Sudha Nair and Ashley Jacob" "These were the 3 women in the Balagangadharan molestation case" "The 1st two were not only silenced with money ...but also provided top notch jobs in his Dubai and Kochi offices ...and very well taken care of, sir" "In short these 2 women wouldn't want even an ant to bite him, right?" "Yes, sir" "The 3rd one, Ashley Jacob" "Balagangadharan's last prey belonged to a poorfamily" "Yes, I know a little about that case" "Calling her to come for some dance rehearsal and..." "Yes, sir" "She stood her ground right up to the end in court" "But she was stamped a prostitute and lunatic with Balagangadharan's money power" "Finally listening to her own uncle change his statement in the witness stand ...she fainted in the court room" "Where is she now?" "In a convent at Piravom looked after and underthe protection of nuns" "Barson" "We should find out if Ashley and Daksha are linked in some way I want the telephone number of that convent too" "Okay, sir i've come to understand that girl is still mentally very upset" "Ashley" "This gentleman is here to meet you, dear He has something to ask you" "I am Shreeramakrishna I wanted a favor from you" "Don't be scared" "Do you know this girl Ashley?" "Do you remember meeting her somewhere some time?" "If you did not know then go ahead and say it, my dear" "You can go back to the convent" "Didn't I tell you overthe phone she is mentally very disturbed?" "She wasn't like this at all She was very smart" "After that incident in spite of objections from many sides ...it was her own decision to file a case and call for press meets" "She was shattered when her own people turned against her in court lt's alright, Mother I shall find other ways to find out" "What happened in the convent today?" "Did that girl recognize Daksha?" "No, I didn't get a single answer from her" "What is your next plan?" "There is only 1 more important person in my list" "Daksha's proclaimed enemy Her step father Isaac Pannikar" "Where is he now?" "I found out" "Looking after 5 acres of rubber estate which he got as his share" "He is now at Kanjirapally We are going there right now" "What do you mean 'we' ?" "Yes...we You should come with me" "But why should I?" "Dude, an unofficial visit Just casually, that's all" "Papi, this rubber latex is too dilute" "That's because the rainwater has seeped into the trees and diluted the milk" "Anyway increase it to 6 parts for every sheet" "Otherwise the sheets will be very thin and" "Varghese will reduce the price drastically" "That's true" "So what you heard was '2 attempts' ...in a way it is true" "Face to face it was only twice" "But she used to wander here looking for opportunities" "Have you seen her?" "I did just once" "Stop there!" "You!" "She probably found out that killing me wasn't that simple" "Wasn't that why she found another prey?" "Oh!" "What if she is dead?" "She has become popular, hasn't she?" "Let us take leave We will visit again on the way back" "Didn't you say you are suffering from back pain?" "Yes After a fall from the bike" "Warid Master is an expert in medicine His medicines have eased pains forever" "Sure, we know that" "Okay, carry on Come when you feel like" "Sure, we will" "What do you think of Isaac Panikkar?" "He is a villain to only Daksha and herfamily" "On the other hand Balagangadharan was a growing social menace lt was a better deal to kill Balagangadharan who affected ...so many lives in society, than to kill her father" "This could possibly be what Daksha thought" "Are you saying she forgot the revenge she was carrying within her from when she was 9?" "If that was so she should have killed Isaac, isn't it?" "Here" "Look here be careful lt is slippery here" "Do you know them?" "No, but looks like a retired school master with his daughter" "Great!" "To judge a person at one look you are indeed a smart lPS officer" "But thank God you didn't say he was the Priest at the Kottayam Church" "Why?" "Hey lPS fool!" "He is Devassy" "Kunnamthanam Devassy The most famous 'procurer' in Kottayam town" "He is on his way with Isaac's dinner" "Then why is he not known in police circles?" "Police records do not have a single case against Devassy" "Why not haul him up right now?" "Great thought Superb idea!" "Come here I will explain" "Devassy will have all records to show that Isaac is his uncle's son and the girl he brought, his niece and the meeting was a prayer meet" "Finally you will be the one who'll stink if you haul him up now" "Come dude, let's go" "What is it, dude?" "Shree, come immediately to the Silk Castle hotel in KK road" "What is the matter?" "I will tell you when you come You come quickly" "It's only less than an hour since the incident occurred" "Have they been identified?" "Only this one, sir" "Who is he?" "Sam George Pallath One of the partners of this hotel" "Fell from the topmost floor There's a swimming pool up there" "There is a witness to this incident An eye witness, staff of this hotel" "But no one here has been able to recognize the other guy" "No one remembers seeing him here" "Sorry, please keep away" "Shree" "Do you know Sam George?" "A little, since he's a well known figure here But that other guy I have definitely seen him somewhere I am not able to place him" "Try to remember" "No, I am not able to" "But there is someone else who'll identify him" "Who's that?" "I have asked him to come here He'll be here soon" "Mila, what else?" " Shree, don't you know Akhil?" " Yes, of course" "Akhil's sister is a receptionist in this hotel" "This happened when he came to drop her here this morning" "What was the likely time you think this would have happened before you arrived?" "About 10 minutes before we reached" "People were just crowding after hearing the news" "Have you got all the pictures?" "Yes, almost" "We need a couple of snaps of the swimming pool also" "Shall we?" "Go ahead" "This is him" "He?" "Isn't he the editor of the magazine Mukhapadam" " Yes, Sudharman" "Ah!" "Mila" "Hello, sir" " ls the body lying there?" " Yes" "Let me have a look Side please" "Do you have such awful people as friends?" "Of course" "Right from college I've made some awful friends" "Mila success!" "This is exactly who we suspected" "This Mukhapadam issue is last August" "Just look at this, sir" "is he actress Sheethal's dad?" "Monachan?" "Yes All details are in here" "But Mila I don't understand what his connection was with Sam" "This Monachan had sworn to kill his own wife and brother-in-law" "Sir, this is the eye witness I told you about" " What's your name?" " Jomon" "What did you see?" "When the restaurant work had eased a bit I came up here for a cigarette" "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "Who are you?" "I ask you, what do you want?" "I want your life I will take it too" "Hey!" "Get this son of a ***** away instead of standing and gaping there" "Don't let go, please Save me" " Was Sam a regular swimmer here?" " Yes, sir" "He comes here straight after his exercise" " Have you seen the other guy anytime before?" " No, sir" " Kabir, take his statement and let him go" " Okay, sir" "And then?" "As a primary assumption, the 2 incidents, death of Balagangadharan and Daksha ...as well as Sam, who died from top of the hotel share many parallel situations" "Most important amongst them being, ...both ignored the enemy right in front of their eyes ...while someone totally unknown and without any obvious motive was killed" "Daksha's enemy was her step father who destroyed her sister" "Monachan's enemy was his wife who encouraged his daughter ...to go afterfame and riches ls this some kind of parallel movement like the old Naxalites did?" "Since the murderer also is prepared to die along with his victim, it's a possibility" "Will this turn out to be a headache?" "Do you have any other details about this Monachan otherthan what appeared in that cheap magazine?" "I do, sir" "Monachan was a taxi driver at Kuruppanthara bus stand till 2 years ago I got these details from them" "All the items are there which the 2 of you wanted" "Let there be no shortcomings this Christmas...here, you take this" "Whatever paltry sum you get go ahead and splurge it on whatever these kids say" "Don't you everthink of tomorrow?" "That's exactly why I got them these Fortomorrow lt is Christmas tomorrow" "Monachan took care of his wife Lissy and her 2 daughters ...without any hassles in spite of his meager earnings" "Monachan's brother-in-law Roy was not on good terms with him" "He came one day with a proposal to make Sheethal act ...as a heroine in a music album his friends had set out to make I have explained everything" "You better realize, sister that such fortune doesn't come to everyone" "My dear Roy, I don't have a problem if her dad agrees" "That will depend on the smartness with which mother and daughter handle it" "He never lost an opportunity to describe what fame and riches could bring" "She just showed her face in one album" "Now she is full time in Hyderabad Busy in Telugu" "There is no need to think so deeply After all its my brother who says so" "That's exactly why I am worried" "Look, I am sure he will not involve us in something which will harm us" "Does she know anything about acting?" "I have confidence in myself, dad" "Moreover my team won the 1st prize for the cinematic dance, remember?" "Oh yes!" "I didn't remember that ln spite of his displeasure in giving in to both mother and daughter's pressure ...he allowed Sheethal to act lf this is going to interfere with her studies ...both mom and daughter will get it from me" "Oh aren't you a beautiful girl" "A beautiful flower" "You are always mine, my friend" "Love, I am full of love for you I shall forever be in love with you" "First it was just a few albums Then cover photos of some magazines" "When nothing further happened Monachan thought ...mother and daughter had quenched theirthirst for acting" "But without Monachan's knowledge Lissy and Sheetal were doing the rounds looking for opportunities on shooting locations and hotel rooms" "Sheethal did get 1 or 2 small roles in movies" "From there she moved to other languages" "She got many opportunities since she had no hesitation doing glamour roles" "That scene in his movie was great 'Sir' is a genius" "Didn't he give her a break?" "She didn't have to look back after that" "When they got a little better financially" "Lissy and Sheethal started ignoring Monachan" " Hey, let me tell you" " No!" "Nothing will happen" "You dog!" "I will kill you" "Leave him Have you gone mad?" "Yes, I have gone mad You have made me one" " Look brother-in-law, listen to me" " Get lost!" "Come on, come lf you commit atrocities in my family I will push this inside you" "When Monachan reacted violently on a couple of occasions like a madman ...he became their enemy" "Finally Lissy and Sheethal left home" "So your decision remains unchanged, is it?" "Yes, I will not come anywhere leaving dad alone" "Come with me I will not allow you to destroy yourself living with dad" "No, leave me" "Shikha who had refused to accompany them was forced to go with Roy, another day" "Monachan had even complained to the Kaduthuruthy police station" "The only result Monachan got out of it was threats he received from Roy and friends" "My dear!" "Its true I entered movies to clear debts incurred by my dad" "I don't ever remember a single day when he was not drunk" "He used to beat us after that" "He has never spoken a word of love to us" "We left home because of his torture" "Finally when his daughter started maligning him in public he left his home and town" "Have you any clue of Monachan's whereabouts in these last few days?" "We heard he was employed as a waiter for some time in some resort at Kovalam" "When he returned later to sell his house and land some of his friends gave us a statement that he had threatened to kill Lissy and Roy" "So it is only the mode of operation here that is different from the Daksha case" "There is yet another reason too, sir" "Sam George had the same background as that of Balagangadharan" "He had lots of enemies in Hotel business" "Event management and Career guidance field lt could be as you say" "The beginning of a parallel or something beyond ...all this which we have failed to identify" "How long did Monachan and you work together?" "About 10 months" "Why did your friend do all this?" "Did he say anything to you?" "No, he was on leave for 2 to 3 weeks He said he was feeling sick" "Did anyone come here to meet him?" "Friends, relatives?" "No sir, we didn't see anyone" "But the younger daughter used to often call him on phone" "She has even written to him a couple of times I even read one of the letters" "What was in it?" "That her mom and uncle were trying to force herto act in movies" "That he should prevent this" "He left saying he would return with her, ...and if he had to, he'd file a case or even kill them" "The police are not out to create headaches for others" "Whateverthe inconvenience questions will be asked" "And information shall be got" "What the hell do you want to know?" "Why did Monachan do all this?" "Are you asking me?" "Who else will I ask than the one who has lived 19 years with him?" "Look here, actions of some mad people are not answerable by my sister" "They are to be investigated by people whom the government nurtures ...with uniform and a cushy salary" "He thinks he's a big shot who's come to ask questions!" "I want to meet your younger daughter, Shikha" "She is not here" "She is in a hostel forthe time being" "What about Sheethal?" "She is at Hyderabad for a photo shoot You cannot meet her right now" "You have the age and maturity to answer my questions" "But still you are unable to do so lf you interfere in things which don't concern you I will simply say that if yourtongue wags in front of me any more ...I will simply melt down this body which you have sustained with wine and women" "You heard me?" "I am temporarily ending this meeting between us" "But we will meet again" "Then not only your daughters but the entire clan of this home will be lined up for my questioning to know whatever I want to know" "It happens to be our house Otherwise I would have..." "Ashley!" "Speak up" "Devassy" "Kunnamthanam Devassy brought that girl here" "I don't want to know the depth and spread of the business you'd been conducting" "How did Ashley from Piravom reach Kanjirapally Issac Panikkar's place?" "Don't harass me anymore I'll tell you everything" "People like me make it a point to earmark girls involved in rape cases" "They are much in demand amongst my customers" "That's why I went to her house once the case and gossip died down" "But she drove me away that day" "Unexpectedly 1 day she called me and said she wanted to meet me" "What you said the other day was true What does it matter now?" "I am so worldly wise in such things" "Even though you sent me away my phone # which I wrote on your wall calendar ...has now come of use, isn't it?" "That's Devassy!" "Now everything is your wish" "Businessmen, politicians or even higher officials" "You can quote your price And I will get it for you" "I called her up for many of my clients All high profile people" "But she avoided every one of them stating their bio-data did not please her lt was quite unexpectedly I mentioned Issac to her" "She immediately agreed to come ...as if she had been waiting to hear that name from me" "That's how I went with her to Issac sir yesterday" " Haven't you gone yet?" " No" "How is the stuff?" "I just saw a glimpse of her I'll tell you when you come tomorrow" "To my knowledge she has come totally of her own accord" "Please explain to her that this is one of the most respectable jobs in the world" "Sure I will leave and come early morning" "Not so early You can come leisurely at around 11 AM" " So that means you are very satisfied" " Get going, man!" "When did you know Issac and Ashley were dead?" "This morning when I reached his bungalow" "The place was full of policemen and people I returned home as soon as I heard what happened lf there is even a single lie in what you have told your final consecration shall be performed here, by me" "Understood?" " Kabir" " Sir" "Remove the holy attire of this saint and put him under lock-up" "He has to appear in court tomorrow" "Postmortem report states that Ashley and Issac died of Potassium Cyanide poisoning" "The lab tests clearly confirms presence of Potassium Cyanide ...in this lip gloss found lying in the room" "Ashley went from the convent to her house for a few days" "Her activities during this period is clear from Devassy's statement" "But what she did later we can only assume since there are no witnesses to that" "What is your assumption as an investigating officer?" "I will tell you, sir" "That Devassy has gone finally What trouble I had sending him away!" "Why all this preparation?" "Does beauty like yours need make-up?" "A girl who takes her enemy's life with poison applied on her lips" "This may sound good in stories and novels But not in real life lt is difficult to believe this" "But although this is only an assumption I have other reasons to substantiate this" "The postmortem report states that Issac ...and Ashley did not have any physical relationship" "Not only that Devassy took Ashley to Issac's house after 6:00 P.M" "Death has occurred between 6:30 and 7:00 P.M" "That means they died half an hour after Devassy left" "There are no visible evidences of a struggle or violence in the room" "Didn't you ask me a little while ago if there could be a girl like this?" "Yes, I did" "This is where l have to link this case with 2 other deaths that occurred recently" "The modus operandi is different But 2 incidents with parallel similarities" "Balagangadharan" " Daksha Monachan" " Sam George, both suicides" "Probably this format is 1st of its kind the world over" "A revenge fulfilled by exchanging their enemies" "To avenge Ashley Daksha finished Balagangadharan" "While Daksha was avenged by Ashley by doing away with Issac lf we follow this pattern of thought Sam George" " Monachan end in another lead" "This is Monachan's wife Lissy And Roy his brother-in-law" "They were Monachan's enemies" "He had often told his friends and openly threatened that he would kill them" "But they are still alive today" "Probably like Issac lived a few days more after Daksha's death" " Does it mean this series will see more...?" " Yes, Sir" "Though we do not have evidences we are forced to think like that" "Going by your theory, they will be killed by Sam George's enemies, isn't it?" "Exactly, sir" "And only if we find that person and catch him alive ...we will be able to know why this pattern was followed" "And probably know how many more are involved in it" "But before that we need to know something else" "No, sir" "The day after tomorrow" "Really, without fail, sir lt's that Reddy He has fixed a song shoot on 15th and 16th I don't know what will happen" "What's happening, sir?" "It's been quite some time Will it be over now?" "They will let you know when it's over" "This is that ASP's way of getting back at us" "Did mom and uncle know your dad was visiting you at school?" "No, dad specifically asked me not to let them know" "Do you remember writing a letter asking your dad to rescue you from your uncle and mom who were forcing you to act in movies?" "Yes, I do" "Did dad come and meet you after that?" "Yes, he did" "He said he was going to file a case to rescue me" "And said he had retained a good lawyerfor that, but..." "What is it, my dear?" "What happened?" "You can tell us everything No one will know what you told us" "Be brave" "That day dad came to meet me at night" "Daddy my foot!" "How is he planning to take care of you?" "Look, I am not willing to allow my daughter to live like a servant maid to anyone I have never allowed you or the girls to exist like servant maids all these years lf she comes with me now she will have a more dignified life" "...than what you are giving her" "Then go ahead and take her" "But before that Your lawyer wants to talk to you" "Monacha, this case does not appear to be what it was when we discussed it this morning" "Later having thought over it I realize whatever the arguments we provide the court will finally order that being a minor she should be sent with her mom" "So Monachan you better listen and do as Roy says" "You blackguard!" "Are you advising me after treating yourself to his liquor?" "I will..." "No need for histrionics here lf you are planning to proceed like this the judge will be the next one to offer you the same advice" "Remember that" "Law and justice in this land is only forthe rich and powerful" "No!" "There is someone called God beyond all this" "And if HE also fails me I know what to do I will take my daughter away Even if I have to kill all of you" "You will kill, is it?" "Dad" "Leave him" "My dear?" "So your dad hated your mom the most, didn't he?" "No, in spite of all this he could never hate her" "Dad used to say that Roy uncle was responsible for all this" "That only if Roy uncle left our lives we'd lead a peaceful life" "You can all leave now" "We will ask you to come again if necessary" "Have you got whatever you wanted?" "A little The rest of it will come to us by and by" "You can go now" "Come" "Shikha, go bravely No one is going to force you to act in films" "Come, let's leave" "If our assumptions are right the next attempt will be on Roy, isn't it?" "Yes And that too within few days" "But from where?" "I don't know" "Maybe from a person who has been cruelly denied justice" "He will be the one to kill Roy To find out who that is we have to go into the past of Sam George" "Sir" "Achankunju" "Yes, sir All know me as Poyilakunju" "What was the problem between you and Sam George?" "We did not have any specific problem" "The why did Sam register a complaint against you at Chingavanam station?" "He stated that you stopped him on the way ...spoke obscenities and tried to attack him etc" "Sethu, an old friend of Sam was very close to me I knew Sam only through him I could not bear his atrocities against Sethu That's why I did all that" "What atrocities?" "What did Sam George do to Sethu?" "This Sam George Pallath had a past which was not as glamorous as it is now" "Sethu on the basis of friendship took Sam who was jobless to Kottayam ...and gave him a position in his own establishment" "He later became a shareholder Sethu believed in him blindly" "But Sam was only taking advantage of him" "Notjust Sethu's hard earned wealth and business" "But his one and only sistertoo with fake love and false promises had been taken over by Sam and his friends which Sethu came to know very late" "By then everything was lost including his sister's life" "Sam was very clever" "He trapped Sethu in a legal case for cheating and attempted murder" "Throwing plenty of money around got him sentenced by the court 3 years of imprisonment lt was only recently he was released" "When I heard Sam was killed I 1st thought it was Sethu" "Did Sethu come to meet you after his release?" "Yes, he did" "He asked me for some money which I gave him" "Where is he residing?" "When he came to see me he was staying somewhere near lllickal" "Later I heard he'd moved from there Now I have no idea where he is" "Now you can go, Achankunju I will send word if I need you again" "Also, if ever you see Sethu again call and inform us immediately" " Okay" " Don't nurse any sentiments forthat" "Sethu Sethunathan" "It was Chief Inspector Chandrashekar who investigated this case those days" "Everyone says his investigation file is like reading a crime thriller" "He includes every bit of information in it" "This is also a routine with him" "He always collects and files newspaper reports about the case he investigates" "Most of them will be single column" "What is it, sir?" "Like you said, Barson" "Most newspaper reports were fillers in the inner pages" "But for this" "This is entirely different The investigating officer has noted it also" "When all other reports were similar why did this alone show a different pattern?" "But sir, this is an evening paper" "Spark I too know the genuineness of evening paper reports" "But here it reports the exact information which Achankunju told us" "That means this reporter Anirudhan knew Sethunathan as closely as Achankunju did" "We have to find this Anirudhan For that..." "Hello What is it, dude?" "I am in the middle of reporting the state youth festival" "What?" "Spark?" "Yes, an evening paper Anirudhan, I want details about him" "Dude, we are just 2 of us covering the events of 5 states I will enquire once this is over" "One thing I am sure There is no paper called Spark in Kerala now" "Sir, Sub Inspector Kabir on line I am at Roy's house" "His wife says he went out this morning But does not know where he went or why" "No sir, the driver was there with him I tried calling them" "Roy's phone is switched off And the driver is not picking up the call" "Okay sir, I will do so" "Where the hell has this rascal gone after switching off his phone?" "!" "People think and do weird stuff not knowing their end is near!" "Its only to save him from mishap I am asking you all this" "What she says is true, sir He left this morning without telling us" "Get off!" "He is Roy's driver, sir Roy left with him this morning" "Now where did you pick him up from?" "He was inside Karthika Bar I lifted him from there" "Where is Roy?" "He has gone somewhere with someone" "Where and with whom?" "Somewhere with someone" "You dirty pig!" "You will not utter anything more, is it?" "Let me go sir, I will tell you Let go" "Roy has gone to fix an estate deal To Mundakayam" "Alone?" "No, there was an agent too I was instructed not to let anyone know" "Especially Lissy ma'am" "Did you hear him?" "Your dear little brother is busy buying up lands for himself ...without the knowledge of his precious sister" "Being the wife of taxi driver Monachan and if you have even an iota of compassion think again, was everything you gained truly worthwhile?" "Who was this agent with Roy?" "I really don't know anything about him except that I can recognize him again" "Not even his name ls it him?" "To tell you the truth I don't have enough money for all this" "But if the price is what you quoted it would be a bargain whichever way lf it works out I will treat this as a good hunt" "It will happen, sir" "As we go along I will make sure it happens Just wait and see" "Outsiders don't find anything wrong with us" "A famous actress and her uncle's manager" "But only we know our true situation" " What is wrong with your situation now?" " Oh a great lot" "Ever since brother-in-law died my sister talks to me differently" "As if she regrets all this now" "Yes really, and these days that girl's movies have all flopped" "Now all my hopes are pinned on the younger one" "But she is unreachable" "Let all this die down I know what to do" "You will not do any darn thing!" "Your goodbye to your wife today was not to return but a '1 way' journey" "What the hell do you mean?" "Are you drunk?" "Hey!" "Stop the vehicle, Sethu" "No, this vehicle will not stop where you ask me to" "This is going straight to the edge of Kollikokka" "From there the 2 of us will fly in this jeep to the world of dead" "Stop the vehicle" "Stop" "Sethu...no" "Sethu...don't" "Sethu...stop" "Let me go" "Let me go" "Sethu..." "listen" "Don't stop me" " Tell me, you dog!" " Never, Sir I have suffered much more than all this That too for a crime I never committed" "Let me see if I can make you talk" "Tell me" "Not even if you kill me will I utter a word I have no intention of telling you" "Tell me, is Roy the last one in this series?" "No, I will not" "Tell me how you knew Daksha, Ashley and Monachan?" "No, I will not tell" "Tell me Tell me you dirty..." "No No, will not tell" "Have you gone mad?" "If this guy dies who will answer for it?" "Anyway he was intending to die Let him die and I will answer" "He has to be..." "You come here Come here I say!" "Hey sir!" " Me?" " No the younger one" "Go Go with a prayer" "Whateverthe provocation no more of your manhandling" " This is my order" " Sir" "I will tell you the truth, brother" "Go on Tell all" "To the blindfold law of this land Sethunathan offers his alms lf you have anything to say come on out with it you...!" "Hey!" "Don't rush me, sir when I am being generous" "Didn't you ask me a little while ago if Roy was the last in this series?" "He is not" "Among all these there is 1 more which we consider most important 1 more remaining The 5th and final" "Who is that?" "Advocate Narayanan Thambi lf you investigate you will know" "His death will be the biggestjustice among all the otherjust acts we did" "Now I am going to challenge you, brother if you are true and straightforward" "Go, find out who will kill Thambi And prevent that killing" "You!" "He is a tough guy" "He is not going to talk with punches and blows" "Let's wait lf all fails we'll use scientific methods like Narco" "Moreoverthat's fashion too these days" "Sir, you are talking without realizing the seriousness of this situation" "For Sethu to be subjected to any kind of scientific test ...in today's situation with the court's approval it takes at least 10 days lf this series of murders does not end with Sethu... the next attempt will occur immediately" "Especially since Sethu is alive and already in our hands" "What shall we do now?" "Sir, do you know advocate Narayanan Thambi?" "Of course!" "Very well!" "There used to be a story that with Rs 501 and advocate Ramankutty's help ...anybody could kill anyone he chose" "Narayanan Thambi is a modern version of that instead of 501 he charges Rs 5 lakh per sitting" "He did not deal with murder instead he preferred rape and assault of women ln short he is the most poisonous among the lot" "You could say that!" "I want to see Narayanan Thambi at his best performance" "Your Honor" "My client has suffered this horrible experience from her own teacher whom she respects and idolizes which is most shocking" "Hence the culprit should be given the most severe punishment that law allows" "This is my humble request to the Honorable court" "Any questions to ask Mr Narayanan Thambi?" "Yes, Your Honor" "Niya Punnoose" "Yes, sir" "What subject did Prof. Alex Zachariah teach?" "Zoology" "That means animal science" "Yes" "Zoology is a branch that deals in detail about sexual and reproductive aspects ...of all living beings including human beings lsn't that right?" "Correct" "Which means that compared to other subjects this is a little spicy" "When we were in college our science batch mates used to say... lf a male came to teach zoology the girls never cut classes" "And the boys never did if it was a lady teacher" "Tell me Niya, did you feel that way when Alex taught you?" "No, I never did" "Lies!" "It is clear from herface that Niya is lying I object, Your Honor" "My client is being subjected to unnecessary questions" "They are not unnecessary I will prove it to you" "How can you prove it?" "That's my duty" "You don't worry about that" "With the court's permission" "This is a recent lab report of a sex hormone analysis performed on Niya" "Estrogen, the female hormone count ranges normally between 25-221  in an 18 year old girl" "But according to this Niya's is 262 which is way beyond normal" "So we can say that she is a confirmed nymphomaniac?" "I can call upon some real life examples too, your honor" "Do you know Sabu who is standing there?" " Yes" " How?" "I used to go to school in his car" "Alone?" " No, with other students" "So Sabu, you have known this girl right from childhood right?" "Yes, sir" "She started travelling in my car from when she was in the 2nd or 3rd grade" "Those days she was a very sweet kid" "But when she reached the 8th and 9th grade..." "Continue..." "When she reached 8th and 9th her behaviorto other kids was not quite normal" "Especially to the boys" "A little abnormal touch here and there" "When I realized her nature I stopped letting her travel in my car" "Afterthat whenever she sees me she turns herface away and walks off" "Vivek" "Yes" " How do you know Niya?" " We studied together in the 12th grade" " Together, you mean in the same grade?" " Yes" "Was the relationship between the 2 of you usual like other classmates?" "No We were in love" "What is this, Niya?" "is he telling the truth?" "Tell me, is it true?" "He claims he has plenty of love letters and greeting cards apparently sent by you" "It's true that I was in love with him Once upon a time" "Okay, that's enough for me" "Vivek also said only that" "Then how did your relationship break up?" "I sincerely loved her I wanted to marry her also" "But that was not her concept of love" "She has openly told me that she cannot stick to a single man in her whole life" "Not only that I have seen her many times with my friends in compromising situations" "No!" "He's lying" "He was the one who cheated on our love" "Did you see, a single day's arguments and her fans have increased multifold?" "It's all due to your cleverness So I'll be acquitted, won't I counsel?" "Don't worry We will fix everything" "That's enough for me" " Excuse me?" " Yes?" "I am Shreeramakrishnan I am Asst. Superintendent of Police, I want to talk to you personally" "So that's the issue" "My dear ASP sir, it's been 30 years since I have been donning this robe ln 1985, I started my career appearing forthe defendant in the Mundakayam women flesh trade case" "There has been no dearth of threats and obscenities leveled at me ever since" "Many famous organizations have several times threatened to finish me" "But none has managed to touch even a single strand of hair on me 4 murders have occurred in this series All well planned and executed" "The 5th we heard was your name lt is our duty to rightfully inform you" "Okay, but that will not get me to hide indoors or run away I am not prepared to alter any of my daily routine" "The Kerala Police have no particular ambition to see that Adv. Narayanan Thambi dies only after he sees a 1000 full moons!" "But our ambition is to prevent another murder in a series of murders that has made the law in this land run around in circles" "30 years 30 years which includes the cases of Issac Panikkar and Sudakshana" "More than 50 cases which created an uproar" "Most of them big victories making the opponents helpless" "This is the history of advocate Narayanan Thambi's career" "Where shall we begin now, sir?" "I have made a list of suspicious people from the cases Thambi had won" "We will divide that list into 3" "And 3 of us will investigate in 3 different directions" "For example, this contains details of a Krishnamurthy murder case which Narayanan Thambi had argued and won" "Krishnamurthy, an engineering student ragged by his seniors and killed was the case" "Krishnamurthy's brother Ramanujam is specially mentioned here" "He has tried to assault the defendant as well as lawyer Thambi many times ...during and after the case" "Where is Ramanujam today and what does he do?" "Whether he still nurses his old feeling of hatred towards Thambi should be the nature of our investigation" "You have to note that we have only assumptions to help us" "Therefore we may have to pay a heavy price even for small lapses" "I considerthese enemies and murderthreats only as a part of my profession" "You cannot put the blame entirely on your profession, counsel I have seen your career history" "The last 30 years have never seen you arguing on behalf of justice" "You derive great pleasure in breaking justice and fooling the law" "Like a born criminal" "Call and let me know anything that's suspicious" "Sir, I met Krishnamurthy's brother, Ramanujam" "He is a priest at Bhagavathy temple in Thekkekara" "No, sir i did not find anything suspicious" "Okay, then leave him and go to the next" "Mary Paulose" "Born: 06 - 05 -1950 Died: 08 - 05 -1989" "Paulose Chandy" "Born: 04 - 05 - 1927 Died: 12 - 08 - 1987" "Hello" "Shree, remember you asked me about that reporterAnirudhan?" "Dude, reporter of that evening paper I have got information about him When will you be free?" "I...that is..." "I will call you back this evening" "Why did you decide to meet here?" "Did you meet any of our old friends on the way?" "No I will explain" "We had been looking out for advocate Narayanan Thambi's enemies ...through 3 different routes Barson, Kabir and I" "We met many people I went after the 1st case Thambi handled and won, the Mundakayam case" "An incident that happened in 1980 where a 20 year old girl, Mary Paulose ...with promises of a governmentjob was lured to the guest house and molested including a political leader of those days there were 19 others who were accused" "Within a few days after the judgment, Mary died" "Soon after that her mom and dad died" "When I reached the Mundakayam Parish all I could see were their tombstones" "But the Rev. Father from his memories gave me some information" "Mary became pregnant And she delivered while the case went on I went in search of Mary's son and it took me to Kanyagiri orphanage" "From there to St. Aloysius School where he studied till his 10th grade" "To know who that boy was I had to come to this campus" "That too to this classroom where he studied" "Tell me, isn't it you?" "Mary gave birth to you without knowing who the father was?" "Shree, I... I prayed till this second that the name Milan Paul I found in the orphanage school and college records was not yours" "It was in this classroom that I 1st met you" "Here that we became friends" "And when I came to know, you were an orphan loved you more than a mere friend ln spite of all this, you...you..." "Shree please listen to what I have to say, too" "What can you say?" "That you are not Milan Paul?" "No!" "The name you saw in those records is mine indeed" "The newspapers and people of this land called Mary Paulose by a pet name..." "The 'Mundakayam girl' and I am her son" "Like you mentioned a short while ago an illegitimate son" "Enough!" "Now I need to know just one more detail" "The 5th murderer who is out to kill Advocate Narayanan Thambi, is it you?" "Yes" "So all along, being my friend you had been betraying me, weren't you?" "No, Shree I can look unwaveringly at your face and say that I have never betrayed you I came here to confess" "Even though I was aware that you already knew everything" "A confession when you know you are cornered, isn't it?" "You can give it any explanation You can call me cruel or a cheater" "But only after you listen to what I have to say" "Like you said, I was conceived after my mother was raped by 19 people" "She gave birth to me between arguments when Kerala was celebrating its 1st rape case" "My childhood were filled with images of khaki uniforms and black robes" "We slept and ate in the corridors of the court building" "You gave in to them willingly" "You deliberately cheated with intentions of blackmail" "When self respect was trampled and torn to shreds within court rooms for the 1st time I realized the pain of such women, ...through the cries of my mother which even today follows me" "Narayanan Thambi's brilliant performance set free all the defendants" "My mother lived for only 2 more months after that" "My grandpa and grandma were laborers in an estate nearby l became a burden to them since they were unable to earn enough as laborers" "Some politicians advised them to use me to perform an agitation in front of the secretariat to gain some pity from the government" "Indefinite period agitation 7th day" "We did not gain any pity But felt the heat of a policeman's beating" "After that incident grandpa died And soon after grandma too followed him" "That's how I reached the Kanyagiri orphanage" "Probably my ability to study prompted the warden ...to send me to St Aloysius school" "With friends and study routine I slowly forgot the past" "Not only that, I found a girl friend to whom I could confide everything I still do not know what my feelings were for that girl with eyes full of wonder" "One day after class she went home never to return" "Do you know Shree who that girl was who died after cruelly being raped?" "Sudakshana" "Daksha's?" "Yes, Daksha's older sister" "When I went around, laughing and talking with you in this campus ...the wounds within me had not healed I did not tell you anything maintaining the orphan image I had" "One day..." "Stop!" "Stop man" " Can you give me a lift?" " Come, sit" " lsn't it Daksha?" " Yes" "Do you recognize me?" "I am Milan" "No need for explanations I know you" "Then why did you ignore me all the times we met before?" "I never felt like meeting you" "You go file a case for that" "Hey stop!" "What is this, Daksha?" "What happened?" "I lost my car keys" "Where?" "I don't know" " l don't know anything" " Why are you doing this Daksha?" "Why are you destroying yourself?" "What else can I do?" "Today also I tried to kill him" " Who?" " Him!" "That man who is the 2nd husband of the lady who calls herself my mom" "That man who killed my sister I'll kill him" "To me this was new information" "That she was full of revenge even after 14 years" "Also I realized a truth within me that I was trying to run away from the same kind of pain Daksha was going through" "The pain of those who had been denied justice" "What about Sethu, Ashley and Monachan?" "I will explain" "That was the time when Balagangadharan-Ashley case was going on I was the one who reported that case I met Ashley I 1st met Monachan in a hotel room" "I had gone there to interview the famous painter Mohammed Ali" "Who are you?" "What do you want?" "I think I mistook my room..." "Go!" "Go away!" "About an hour later I left Mohammed Ali's room" "When I reached the other room I saw..." "So you reported about Sethu under the name of Anirudh?" "Yes" "When I reported controversial issues I used the pen name Anirudh" "When did you 1st reach this decision?" "To exchange revenge seeking victims in the first 4 murders" "To us this was notjust revenge lt was our way to ridicule" "Our ridicule of the law and justice which is apparently said to exist here" "We were not prepared to live afterfinishing off our enemies" "So we decided to die along with our enemy" "Shree, I have not betrayed you like you think after being with you as yourfriend" "Neither have I used any information you had told me as part of your investigation I have helped you in spite of my being part of all that" "May be" "But in this situation I can never be a friend to you" "You have gone far beyond my reach to help you in any way, Mila" "You have to go with them" "You have to confess all what you told me in front of the law" "You do not have any other option" "Let's go, sir" "This is my office bike" "Can I make a call asking them to pick it up?" "Mila!" "No!" "Mila don't!" "What the hell did you do?" "You let him escape from gunpoint I know the reason Friendship!" "He played all these games hiding in the shadow of friendship I am sure he was exploiting your friendship I don't think so, sir" "What?" "!" "If so, he could easily have misled me in many phases of this investigation" "But in spite of knowing I was getting closer to the truth he never misled me, sir" "So you still stick to yourtheory" "Well, I am not saying anything more" "But I am warning you if anything happens to advocate Thambi ...through this friendship you will be the only one answerable" "No, sir" "As a subordinate officer to you and as a friend to Milan I give you my word" "Neither advocate Thambi nor anybody else will be killed by Milan Paul" " Hello" " This is Shree" "Mila, you are going deeper into danger You have to back out of this" "No Shree, I cannot do it" "Because now it is not revenge, it is duty" "Mila, nothing is going to change here just because you killed Narayanan Thambi" "When one is felled 9 others will rise up I know" "With plenty of money and a Narayanan Thambi to rescue lf the man who sets out to disrobe a woman is stopped, that's enough for me lf l am able to kill him, like the others I will not give up my life, Shree" "I will surrender That too to you I am very sure you will surrenderto me" "But that will not be after you kill the advocate" "It's probably because he's the son of an old revolutionary ...that Akhil understood me and was willing to bring you here" "But everyone need not feel the same" "After hearing about me what do you think, Niya?"
