-Why are you calling at this hour? -(tense music)
-You didn't sleep? -(Charles) Sir.
-I don't know, dear. -(music turns emotional)
I couldn't sleep ever since you said that.
I've nothing but thoughts of those kids.
(clicks tongue) Don't worry about it.
Everything will be fine.
Just go to sleep without worrying about it.
Okay.
-(mobile phone rings) -(bangles tinkling)
-(music fades out) -(car engine accelerates)
Which school do the kids go to?
Sir, keep your eyes on the road.
(car engine rumbles)
Sir, Krish Matriculation School.
That school is expensive.
Can you manage it with the tips
you make from lifting cylinders?
Sir.
He looks like just a cylinder man,
but he is ambitious about his kids' education.
(vehicles whooshing)
-(metal clangs) -(Charles) Oh, my God!
(comedic music)
Sir, if you don't mind,
was your one hand broken or something
when you learnt to drive?
No, why do you ask?
You are driving with one hand, so I asked.
I'm accustomed to it, sir.
-It's driving sense. -(Charles hums)

-(Kiruba) Who's the officer in charge? -(door shuts)
-We need to cross the border. -Sir's there.
-Go there and talk to him. -(car door shuts)
Sir, I'm from the Tamil Nadu police. We need to cross the border urgently.
No, no! Not allowed.
Sir, two kids have been kidnapped.
We must go now. Please let us pass.
We can't allow the vehicle to pass, sir.
Sir... Try to understand.
It's a children's kidnapping case.
-We have to go now. -(walkie-talkie chatter)
(Kiruba) Sir, please open the gate.
(murmur) Some maniac this guy is!
Hey, Sanjith. Come here.
-(Sanjith) Sir? -(footsteps)
He's saying something. Ask him what it's about.
-Yes, sir? -Sir, children have been kidnapped.
-We've to cross the border. -Sir, sir.
-(Kiruba) It's an emergency. -I know Tamil. Please talk in Tamil.
Oh, okay.
Sir, two children have been kidnapped.
We must cross the border right away. Please tell them.
Sir, two children have been kidnapped.
He requests permission to cross the border to look for them.
-Yes, sir. -No!
You are not permitted to enter.
-You can't go. -(Kiruba) Sir...
The children were taken in a van.
Sir, this is the van.
(riveting music)
Sir!
(in Kannada) They attacked our vehicle at the Tamil Nadu border.
Sir, take a look at our van.
They attacked us severely.
We escaped.
Okay, go ahead.
-Thank you, sir. -(Sanjith) Ramayya, open the gate.
You speak Kannada?
(engine sputters)
-(Kola) Okay, sir. -(Mootai in Kannada) Greetings, sir.
-(van engine roars) -(music fades out)
Sir, this van crossed the checkpost at 4 a. m.
But that's a Karnataka-registered van.
Sir, sir.
Please open quickly. We need to go.
They've committed fraud. That isn't a Karnataka-registered van.
-Please! -Sir.
We can't let a Tamil Nadu registered vehicle through right now.
-Please cooperate with us. -Sir, please understand.
-Shanmugam! -It's regarding kids.
-Their parents are here-- -(in unison) Hey, hey!
-(Lakshmi) Dear. -(officers in unison) Hey!
(Shanmugam) Let me go!
-Let me go! -(Charles) Shanmugam, keep calm.
-Hey, let me go. -There's already chaos there.
And you are causing a scene.
-Keep quiet. Let go of my hand. -(grunts)
-Hey, you! Stop acting crazy! -(intriguing music)
It looks like you won't let anyone in.
Did they let you in when you asked?
I know the way, and I'm going.
Oh!
Do what you can. Go ahead.
Yes.
I know how to save my children.
-You're not needed for any damn thing! -You!
Say one more word, and I'll smash your mouth.
-Sir. -Keep quiet, sir.
Are you here for my children?
You came for your vehicle, right?
(Lakshmi) Dear.
Dear, please keep calm.
We're not sure what our kids are up to.
(shouts) Shut up!
You lost the kids,
and now you are frustrating me by bringing them along.
-It's all because of you! (slaps) -(bangles tinkling)
-(crickets chirping) -(Lakshmi weeps)
(gasps and cries)
(weeps) It's not my fault that our children got lost.
-That's on you. -(sombre music)
Did I ever ask you that
I wanted a house like this?
(gasps) I married you knowing all of this would happen
and how much would be at stake.
Did my kids ask you
to get them into an expensive school? (gasps and cries)
You took it all upon yourself and created all the problems.
(gasps) And always stay in the house, brooding with anger.
Did that house ever know a day of peace?
-(gasps and cries) -(music turns emotional)
(voice trembling) My son...
My son pees himself in fear when he sees you.
(crying)
Do you know what Janet akka said?
(gasps and cries)
If he frequently pees himself out of fear,
it might affect his kidneys.
(crying)
We can't say anything to you either.
(voice turns shaky) You are always filled with anger.
You have changed a lot.
(gasps and cries)
But you like all this, right?
You are used to all this.
Has my son ever come to you with joy to hug you?
Or has he ever rested on your chest and fallen asleep?
Who do the kids confide in about their problems? Huh?
-To their parents, right? -(music turns intense)
But can they do that with you? (gasps)
My kids have come
-this far because they fear you! -(gasps and cries)
Lakshmi, please don't cry.
(music fades out)
-Sorry, sir, they got emotional. -(walkie-talkie beeps)
Please help us, sir.
(in Kannada) Ask them to wait for a while.
The patrol vehicle will arrive now.
Tell them to get in the van, but make sure only three people go.
Sir, he's asking you to wait for a bit.
The patrol vehicle is arriving now. Make sure only three people go in.
Thank you, sir.
Okay.
-(rumbling of clouds) -(crickets chirping)
(footsteps on gravel)
(insects buzzing)
(Kiruba) Shanmugam, you are a good human.
You are unsure of the purpose of your life or who it's meant for.
There are many people just like you.
Anger won't make us powerful, Shanmugam.
It will hinder our thinking and affect our relationships.
(sighs)
Shanmugam, you believe I came this far just for the bike, right?
(emotional music)
(insects buzzing)
It has been eight years since I got married.
We haven't had children for eight years.
My wife is expecting now.
I can understand your pain of losing kids
because I have been longing for it for a long time.
I'm here for your kids.
(water trickling)
Also,
hitting someone won't make a difference.
If that had happened, the blows we struck would've changed society.
(policeman) Sir!
The patrol vehicle has arrived.
-(intimidating music) -(Kiruba) Come, let's go.
We are going.
