"Open the door." "No, Velayuthan!" "I had sex with you, and offered you liquor whenever you came here for it." "I didn't deny it so far." "That will not happen anymore." "My son's girl is here."

"What so ever, he was there among the three accused in this murder case." "But for the accused Velayuthan and Kunjikannan.." "..he was a stranger which was strange enough!" "For whom Dy.Sp.Mohan Das Manalathu has created.." "..this character and made him as the accused?" "The stories are yet to begin.." "..even though there won't be any answer to them." "Questions!" "Manalathu enquiry is stopped there it self." "That was quite possible in Manalathu." "An old Brahmin who came to see the chief minister" "..in his office gave him a application!"

"He was lying dead in the river shore belowthe temple." "That was at the same night when Manikyam was killed." "The application said it was not a natural death.." "..and the truth should be brought out somehow." "..and the Chief minister took decision on that." "This murderwas to be enquired along with.." "..the Manikam murder case according to CM's order." "Laxmanan Kaarthikeyan.." "a police inspectorwas.." "..given the duty to enquire the case." "It is a very sensitive case." "We have to be very careful to reach a conclusion." "The witnesses talk in a puzzled manner without making any sense." "A land lord called Murkkin kunnathu Ahmed haji is here." "Some people are trying to accuse him." "We don't have to care about that." "Haji depends on Karthikeyan always." "Another death happened in the same night A Dharma Dathan Namboodiri!" "Is there any connection in any case between these two?" "Have you enquired it in that way?" "What connection?" "He fell down in the river and died!" "Nobody gave a complaint or showed any suspicion!" "Why do we want to take up anything unnecessary?" "It will only complicate the other case." "Was Kaarthikeyan a genuine guy?" "His report has not reached the court." "That's why the prosecution became weak." "I haven't got any report the route he selected and the matter he found out." "But he did the first thing to release Pokan!" "He might not have got anything more from Pokkan!" "He might be telling as per any advise or.." "..telling what someone has taught him." "He have faced much torture in the custody." "That's what it is told." "The congressmen welcomed Pokkan who got released." "They adored him with Khadi dress.."

"It's where a suicide has happened." "Don't sit alone here." "I'm not afraid of that." "I'm not afraid of her." "She wouldn't do me anything." "If I come in the day, people will ask questions." "I don't knowwhat to say to them." "It will be a wrong thing whatever I say." "I wanted to ask you something." "What is it, son?" "All say that you could see the dead!" "Yes!" "I can see my husband, and my kids!" "Can you see her?" "Who is it?" "My Manikyam!" "She has died only recently." "She has to see the dead world and come here." "Then I could see her." "Will you ask her this when you see her?" "..that who has killed her?" "Kozhikkode sessions judge Mrs.Mary Kuriakkose.." "..announed her judgment of Paleri Manikyam murder case in this court room." "What is the case of rape, Mr.Menon doctor?" "Without the approval of a woman.." "..forcing her to share her body with him." "ls that only called the rape?" "No." "To get her under the influence of drug or other ways." "Enough!" "Will it be called rape if husband have sex with anther girl.." "..without wife's acceptance?" "If a woman is said to be being raped.." "..the assailants need not force entry into the house." "The husband who is lying beside her can do that." "In this case, I have a few doubts about the second accused Muthuvn Ahmed." "The important thing is if there is a man existing in that name!" "If another guy is replaced to save the real accused" "..Muthuvan Ahmed is a name which does not exist but included in the accused list." "My friend who is a learned lawyer, has been present.." "..for the prosecution, and the accused list which includes.." "..the 2nd accused name which is wrong." "If it is a failure from the prosecution side.." "..the accused who is included in the accused list should be released." "Who is your client, Mr.Ambad?" "Do you want to prove that, the accused in the list is not the accused" "The accused Kunnummal Velayuthan Edathe thudi Kunji kannan.." "..and Muthuvan Ahmed." "The judgment was to release them." "Police have failed in the investigation.." "..The prosecution raised the weak arguments.." "..and presented the truths." "They were inviting failure by that.." "The woman judge has said in her judgment." "The case has not reached the higher courts!" "This square room has changed into a coffin." "All the truths has been buried in this room." "I want to open this!" "The cry of Manikyam who is with me is guiding to go to the front." "New Paleri!" "Yes!" "52 years ago the journey which followed.." "..the unanswered questions has brought us here." "We will get the answer from this soil." "The accused ones, and those who cheated the law.." "..and escaped as the village believed.." "Those have died." "From whom and where from will we start our enquiry?" "There will be a link for that from elsewhere." "We have selected a house of one called Balan Nair." "If anyone ask who you are?" "..the private detective and crime anlyst." "Paleri wouldn't be able to accept that." "..the same lie we told in the other places." "..that I am your wife!" "You need not have to come here with Vanaja!" "The initial admiration and then a liking for some one's wife.." "..and then the urge to own her.." "If that has been happened in your case.." "It will be the same which happened with Manikyam!" "I just wanted to see you!" "Am I bothering you?" "Balan Nair, right?" "Yes." "Please sit." "Prabhakaran told me that you will come!" "Sarayu!" "Greetings!" "I was told that your wife will be with you." "Did you like this place?" "Are you comfortable here?" "Her complaint was that comforts are more." "Shall I pour you a drink?" "Do you drink?" "Go ahead.." "Only one!" "There is a meeting in the library." "I've to go there on my way." "No water please." "Will it take a few days to write stories?" "I just wanted to know that, that's all." "A novel is in my mind." "I've only started it." "I don't know how many days will it take!" "The Manikyam murder case which has happened here long ago" "My story will be something like that." "This place has become famous for that." "How old were you when it happened?" "..about 7 or 8 years." "We grew up by hearing that story." "Women folk used to talk about it wherever they meet." "When I grew up, I had a maternal uncle." "He has told me about the story more clearly." "Shall we meet one day when you are free?" "I want to hear that story." "My novel will get a good subject." "Why not?" "I'll tell you whatever I know." "You will be tired now." "I'll come another day." "Ok, see you then!" "What is the morning program?" "Dy.Sp.Y.Madhavan. The keeper of the crime records." "I've to see him tomorrow." "Sit please." "The witnesses and accused are all dead." "No body are alive now who were suspicious looking!" "What is the specialty of this enquiry?" "Who has appointed you for that?" "This is not to punish anybody." "..and I am not offered anything for that." "You can take it as a enquiry of the truth." "The detective and writer in me are the motivation." "I'll give you the copy of the crime report kept here." "Strange is the name what I give to this case." "To get back the things is an investigation." "..demolish the old one and prepare a new one." "Awriter's feather suits you more than a police cap." "Did you read this file?" "..more than once!" "What is your idea?" "I want to knowthat." "3 names are to be noticed!" "One is Chanthaman priest, who went to Palani.." "..on the day Manikyam was killed." "Why did he go from Paleri the same night?" "Why did he not return ever after?" "The other one is Brahma Dathan Namboodiri.." "..who was drowned to death in the river." "Was it a accident or a murder?" "The third one is Murikkum kunnathu Ahmed Haji." "He appeared at times, during the investigation!" "Then he has disappeared forever." "Imagine these three names form a triangle." "The truth is in this triangle." "I think it is true." "The triangle he tells about is correct." "I focus it in a name." "My father." "You can examine it in the dictionary!" "It can be Websters or Oxford!" "Look for the meaning of bastard and its explanation." "In Malayalam, it is the child of a floozy!" "In rural language, it is the son without a father." "Son without a father is wrong." "Nobody is born without a father." "It is truth" "Atruth which has faded away in the stain of sin." "I am the son of Murikkum Kunnathe Ahmed Haji." "The night of my 18th birth day night" "The man who was supposed to be my dad.." "..in his 1st death anniversary.." "..placing a garland on his photo on the wall.." "..my mom told me the story."
