(boy in pain & scream)
Keep Moving.
Raju, you'll be fine.
-Hold tight, he is squirming out of my hands. -Let's go to the hospital.
How to carry him when he is flailing like this? Drop him.
Pig... he weighs as heavy as a pig!
Sir... he is suffering from the stomach pain from last night.
-Please, sir. -Shut up! Lift him up.
Sir...please take him.
Hey, Raju! Just bear the pain for some time.
You'll be fine.
The Lord is Supreme! Hallelujah!
No one can solve our troubles except God.
Now, God is descending here to cure him of his troubles.
Let us all pray for him.
(bench creaking)
(loudspeaker voice)
(boy in pain)
Mother!
My stomach is aching.
Hey! Close your eyes, man!
Hey, you will be in trouble if our warden notices you. Close your eyes!
-One moment. -My stomach is aching.
Why aren't you praying?
Speak out.
Everyone else is praying for him. You pray too.
Sir, he is new here. He burnt 30 people alive.
He is in great need of prayer then.
We all have to pray hard for his fever to come down, come on, pray!
There's no God! It's upto you to save his life, not God.
(smirks)
(scream & beat)
Stop it!
God exists. You'll come out only when you realise that truth.
(door closes)
(door creaking)
You have been starving from past three days! Get out.
(boy in pain)
Satya! The one with the stomach ache died on the same day.
(light up to matchsticks)
(blow)
(pigeons grunting)
(running water)
Anyone there ...? Is anyone around ...?
-Don't shout ... hold on ... don't shout! -Anyone there ...?
-Who are you? What do you want? -Don't move. The ropes will come undone.
Why have you brought me here? Tell me!
What do you want?
I don't know you.
I need your bus, I want to drive it.
Take it, you can have it!
-You will give it? -Yes, I will!
-The bus? -Yes, I'll give it.
I want to drive your bus, but you have to die too.
How shall I explain? The pilgrimage...
I don't understand what you're saying.
Take what you want and let me go. I have kids to look after.
I know. I told your son to be brave and study well if dad doesn't return.
Ya Allah, Ya Allah!
Don't shout! Don't shout.
Don't shout. Just two minutes. Close your eyes. It'll be over

(birds flapping)
-Tell them it can't be done, Am I clear? -Yes, sir.
-Hey Sarathi, you are here alone? -Sir...
-Solomon isn't here with you? -No, sir.
-Sit down. -Yes Sir, thank you, Sir.
I need to discuss something regarding this case, sir.
Yeah, tell me.
Sir, Solomon sir wanted the case closed...
due to lack of leads, but
It was Brinda who persisted with the case
and figured out that these were serial murders, Sir.
Brinda? Who is she?
She's the SI at the station, Sir, joined just three months ago.
(clank)
She worked very hard on this case.
She deserves to be on the case more than I do.
Hmm, what about Solomon then?
Sir ... please ... don't think I'm complaining but
neither Solomon nor I did any work on this case.
(knocking)
(phone ringing)
Sir, Good morning, Sir.
Solomon! What are the names of the three victims
in the serial murder case?
Yes, Sir, I'm checking, right away, Sir, one moment, Sir...
Forget it! Aren't you the station head?
Yes, Sir, yes, Sir.
Well, I don't want to keep you busy with this SIT when there are
so many cases pending in your station.
So focus on those pending cases.
Sir, Sir, Sir, please Sir, it's my dream to work under you.
It's my dream too,
but it's more important that you remain in charge of the station.
-The new SI here, Brinda... -Yes, Sir...
I'm appointing her to the SIT.
That girl, Sir?
She doesn't even greet superiors, she's arrogant, sir.
I'll handle it, don't worry.
I'm looking into it personally, our folks will update the details.
(beep) Sir, Sir... damn!
-Call Brinda. -Ok, Sir.
She's in the team.
(phone ringing)
Brinda Madam, from tomorrow, you will report to police headquarters.
-Welcome to SIT! -What?
How can we solve the case without you, Madam?
I mean...the ACP ordered Solomon to assign you to the team...
-Hello! Hello? ... Say something, Madam! -Okay.
Welcome to the team!
Reddy Sir, this is Brinda Madam.
-Hello! -Hello!
That's Moin ... Vijay ... that's your desk.
The person we're looking for is a serial killer.
Shaving heads, multiple stabbings,
getting his bird to peck away at the victim's body flesh and
dumping the body in drainage...
This is his modus operandi.
We don't know how many murders he's committed so far.
We just know about these four cases.
But look for all the cases over the years.
We need to dig deeper.
(line ringing)
(intense music)
Turn the volume down. Hello?
-Brinda, are you on your way home? -Yes, mom, but you eat.
(beep)
There are 11 cases in the last 9 years other than
the four that Brinda unravelled, Chandra.
Sir, one of them is an unidentified body.
Okay.
According to the mortuary report, he is a kidney donor.
Send that information to all the hospitals.
Some hospital might have information about the donor.
We need a motive, guys.
We don't know what it is.
It could be right in front of our eyes but elusive.
Enquire with the victims' families, workplaces.
They were the ones who last saw them alive.
Sir!
He never bothered anyone ever in his life.
He worked hard to pay his college fees.
He was a good technician, Sir.
What kind of a person was Mohsin?
Did he have any enemies?
No idea, Madam. He was a bit stubborn, but he was a good chap.
I wonder why God punished him like this.
(vehicle approaching)
He had no interests outside of work and home.
After getting the job as a driver,
He helped his friends secure jobs by getting them licenses.
Who would harm a person like that?
In the past, there was some trouble owing to
his love marriage, but that's resolved now.
For a person to stab someone so many times and kill them...
it could be out of rage, vengeance, helplessness or hatred.
He is trying to relieve some kind of traumatic experience.
I've been in this profession for the last 40 years.
Such people must have experienced several hardships since their birth.
The problems they faced in the society right from their childhood
would have influcened them to behave like this.
The post mortem report says this man donated a kidney.
Please call the hospitals in your network
and check if there's a match in their database.
All the victims are working class people.
Driver, plumbers, electricians, railway linemen...
None of them are connected to each other.
What could be the motive to kill such people?
We need a motive, guys.
Who would harm a person like that? (crying)
He is trying to relieve some kind of traumatic experience.
None of them are connected to each other.
I wonder why God punished him like this.
What could be the motive to kill such people?
(thwack)
-Are you alright? -Hmm
Mom, what was dad like?
Did he use to get stressed, like I do?
No.
After coming home, he would forget everything in your presence
and spend all his time with you.
Amma, sleep here tonight.
(smirks)
Sure, dear.
Brinda, are you wondering if any of your family is still around...
a brother...?
No.
There shouldn't be.
I'm safe and well because of your upbringing.
What if someone like me had grown up all alone in the world...?
(car door closes)
(groans)
(splash)
(dog bark)
(vehicle halt)
(car door opens & closes)
Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?
C'mon, tell me!
I'm throwing it away ...
What's 'it'?
Driver...
What? Driver?
Yes. I put him inside and dumped it.
The kid will go to school.
I even gave him a car.
Crazy rascal! What have you dumped? show me!
Come on, where is it?
Where, I can't see anything?
Where?
I can't see anything.
Hey, Narayana!
(whistles)
Weed!
Rascal! Come on, I'm taking you to the police station, let's go.
-My bag ... -Get moving! Stop dilly dallying.
Your bag will be safe... Walk, keep walking
-We'll see that later. -Good morning, Sir
-Ah! Good morning, Mr Ramana! -How come you're here, Sir?
-Looks like you've totally forgotten us. -No, no ...
I am here to get the Subramanya Swami idol on my desk.
It's inside, Sir. Let me bring it.
Ha, Lekha, I'll come later.
(Sarathi) Tsk. We'll talk about it after I come home.
(humming)
I'll follow up on the case.
That one, the Shadhanagar one near Ameerpet where there's a drain, right?
-Hey Sarathi! -(speaking over phone) I'll do it
(engine reviving)
One moment!
Good morning, Sir!
How are you, Sir?
How come you're here, Sir?
Ours is a very small station Sir, you people work in air-conditioned HQ!
Why'd you say that, Sir?
We would have loved to have you on the team!
Sarathi, drop the act!
Don't I know the games you and Brinda were playing?
How would the ACP know of Brinda if you hadn't told him about her?
I didn't say anything, Sir.
We should work together again, Sarathi.
Then I'll show you what I'm made of.
Move.
Sir...
(people laughing & playing music)
Hi, guys. How's the party?
Really Nice.
You guys grab a drink.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Are you old enough to drink?
Want me to show you my ID?
-Nice! -What's nice?
You, of course! and this party.
(smirks)
Rishi
Naina
Naina...
I think we should dance. What do you think?
Okay!
Guys!
Song change!
(motorbike approaching)
You're not eating much. Isn't it good?
Nothing of that sort. The food is delicious.
Have this.
Let her eat in peace.
Okay, okay.
Sarathi, you told me about a new SI in your station...
who is always angry and doesn't talk to anyone.
Is that Brinda?
(chuckles)
Brinda Madam, I never said that!
Lekha!
Your home is beautiful! You've done it up well.
She's at home the whole day, she has nothing else to do.
Maybe you're more important than a job, and that's why she's at home.
(smirks)
Is yours a love marriage?
How did you guess?
I saw your college photo.
Just looking at the two of you, it's clear that yours is a love marriage.
Do you live with your family?
My mother, sister and myself.
What about your dad?
He's no more.
Brinda Madam, Lekha's intrusive question about your father seems to have upset you...
I'm sorry.
No, no. It's okay.
What did your father do?
He was also a policeman. (honk)
Oh really? Is that why you too joined this department?
Hmm
So you've taken your father's place in your family.
No one can replace him.
No one can be like him either.
He found me when I was three years old and raised me.
Oh!
Madam, can I ask you something if you don't mind?
Have you ever wondered if there's anyone left?
I mean, from your own family.
No.
(clanking) I don't like it here.
Brinda, what are you doing?
I don't want any of you! Dump me where you got me from!
Brinda, Brinda!
I don't want you.
-I don't want anyone! -Brinda ... listen ...
I keep getting strange dreams.
Somebody is calling me.
Hmm. Who?
I don't know.
They've tied me up and locked me in a dark room.
Hmm
My mother is crying for me.
Hmm
She is remembering her folks.
Unless she forgets them, it will be difficult to cure her.
I thought we could take care of her,
but I can't bear to see her suffering, Vasu!
We are searching for her family no, Raghu?
What else can we do?
Maybe we should keep looking till we find them.
Where's she? Has she slept?
Vasu!
(metal door clanking)
Brinda!
What are you doing?
This isn't my house. Take me back to where you found me.
I'll take you there tomorrow, I will.
It's late now, let's go home.
Can't you see your sister crying for you?
She isn't my sister. I don't like her.
I won't come. I'll stay here only.
Okay, I'll keep you company.
(birds chirping)
We call this Katayu.
It weighs 6-7 kilos.
It's this high.
They are almost extinct now.
This bird doesn't belong to this region anyway.
Definitely someone would have brought it here.
Who would have reared this bird?
This is the bird.
(chants)
There's a tribe called Kehkliya in Uttar Pradesh.
They worship this Katayu bird as Kali.
If one of their kinsmen dies, they offer a piece of that body to Katayu.
They believe doing so will grant that person salvation.
All this is to avoid rebirth?
Murders for God?
Where are the Kehkliya tribe people now?
Sir, the tribe disappeared after the 19th century.
It looks like there's no one related to them now, sir.
Sir, so far we've looked only for the dead in this case.
Let us keep track of the latest missing cases registered in the city, Sir.
In case the killer's next victim is in that list, we might find him.
Okay, start with the active missing cases now.
Monitor any new missing case carefully.
That's our only lead.
(train honking)
Let's leave.
We've been looking into missing cases for the last 15 days.
Let us take it easy today.
Rest? There are five new cases.
I'm off to Ibrahimpatnam for the Gangaram case.
Sir, Mohan's from the Old City. I know the area well.
You take care of Abdul's case.
-I'll take care of Mohan's. -Okay.
(light switch off)
(vehicle honking)
When did Abdul last speak to you?
Two weeks ago, he said he was on his way back from office,
would be home in ten minutes. But he never turned up.
He would always keep flirting with some girl on the phone.
He must have eloped with her.
I'm not scared even if Dad's not around. I'll go to school.
Not him, let's go.
(vehicle moving)
Madam, what did that Abdul's wife say?
Dis she say that he eloped?
I'm their neighbour. She's always suspicious of him.
Abdul's a really good chap, Madam.
He wouldn't stay away for so many days.
I smell a rat.
He said he'd be here in 10 minutes but didn't come.
Stop!
What happened, Madam?
Do you know the route Abdul takes from office?
I do.
-Go that way. -Okay Madam.
Abdul comes this way, Madam!
Which way should I take?
Keep going.
Stop! What's that way?
That's the forest, Madam. No one goes that way.
-Take that way only. -Okay, madam.
Here! Stop here.
(dog bark)
Madam!
(beep)
(bird squeaking)
(electricity crackling)
(phone ringing)
Yes, Brinda Madam.
(photo clicks)
I can't say for sure but it happened 2 days ago.
How much time will it take to match this DNA to Abdul's?
Not much, will give in 24 hours.
That hair, blood and the modus operandi looks like our killer's doing.
Even I know that. I'm just asking.
Sir, Okay sir... Okay sir.
-Brinda Madam, ACP called. -Oh!
-He is very appreciative of your work. -Thank you.
-Are you coming home? -Yes, I will, mom.
-How long will it take? -I'll be late.
-Be careful, Brinda. -Hmm
-Come soon, dear. -Yes, Ma.
You sleep.
-Okay, bye. -Okay, bye.
(beep)
-Sarathi! Sarathi! -Yes, Ma'am, coming...
See this.
What's this? An ATM slip?
Exactly from two days ago.
One ATM slip? It's not very strong evidence, Reddy.
Sir, according to the forensic report,
a murder was committed in the Nandigram warehouse two days ago.
This slip carries the same date from two days ago.
It means something, Sir.
It doesn't mean anything, Brinda.
This isn't proof.
-What's his name, by the way? -Anand.
Yeah. Anand has a clean record.
He's just a lecturer.
Runs an NGO with the salary he earns.
There's nothing suspicious.
Sir, when we traced his location through his call logs,
we found out he was in the vicinity of Gandhi Nagar ATM
In interrogation, we can catch him if he denies going there, Sir.
Please, Sir, at least let us rule him out.
Sir... Let us question him, Sir.
Ok, don't push it.
Keep it very casual.
You are going to handle this.
Be careful.
Subramanya Swamy ... Ayya ... Swamy ... Venkanna Swamy ...
What's your name?
I'm asking you a question. What's your name?
Why does he stare, what language does he speak?
Hey, what's your name?
It's my fate that I've to deal with such people first thing in the morning.
Ok, I'll give you a name, I'll call you Alexander, okay?
