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.
(laughs)
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?
(Noble) 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. -(traffic whizzing by)
I'll put him on. You explain the danger to him.
(jeep horn honks)
I don't have time for that.
Just tell him I said so.
(engine rumbling)
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.
(water splashing)
-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.
(Kurian) That day, you told us
Ayyappan hadn't come home in a month.
Right?
-Yes. -(Kurian chuckles)
You knew that was a lie.
Now, we know it too.
So let's not waste time arguing.
(ominous music)
-(insects buzzing) -(crickets chirping)
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!
(wife) 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.
(eerie music)
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.
(eerie music continues)
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.
(Ayyappan hums in agreement)
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. -(Kurian chuckles)
(scoffs) 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.
(Noble) 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?
(ominous music)
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!

(on radio) 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.
(radio beeps)
-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.
(phone ringing)
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.
(tsks) What exactly is going on?
(upbeat, suspenseful music)
(metal plate thuds)
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.
(on mobile) Kerala Police enters the finals
of the All India Police Meet Volleyball Tournament.
They defeated Punjab in the semis.
(Praveen) 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.
(traffic whizzing by)
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.
-(engine revving) -(intriguing music)
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.
(intriguing music continues)
(intriguing music turns upbeat)
Looks like the car has been washed.
(metal lock clicks)
(paper scraping)
(intrigue music intensifies)
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.
(scoffs) 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.
(chuckles)
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.
(slow, brooding music)
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.
(intriguing music)
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.
(dramatic music)
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?
(music intensifies)
(music turns upbeat)
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.
(upbeat music continues)

(all) Damn it!
Bloody dog!
(intrigue music continues)
(inspector) 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.
(tea gurgling)
(cop) The dog was spotted there at 12:13 a. m. , sir.
(dramatic music continues)
(plastic crinkles)
(vocals join dramatic music)
-(plastic wrap rustle) -Damn!
We're screwed!
What happened?
In the last clip, the dog's coming out of this colony.
(intriguing music)
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.
(upbeat music)
Got it! Got it!
There's our buddy!
(music turns dramatic)
It's the same dog, right?
Definitely! Black patches on white
and a stick-like tail.
This is near the KSRTC bus stand.
(music fades out)
Sir... Sir...
-What's the update? -We've covered almost everything.
(suspenseful music)
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.
Morgan's Road.
