[Going through documents]
Sir, we've sent the case files to the Deputy Commissioner's office.
Sir, I never wanted to be a police officer.
My father wanted me to become a police officer.
I realised the hardship only after joining the force.
The effort taken to solve each and every case
the sleepless nights, going hungry for days on end
the ordeal is unimaginable.
Now, I am proud to be a police officer.
I feel ashamed to say that we still couldn't nab the killer.
For that reason, I can't even eat these days.
Sir, it doesn't matter who opposes. I am always with you.
At the most, I might lose my job. I have no problem, sir.
But, we must nab the killer.
- Kishore. - Sir.
Who are the ones aware of your residential address?
Sir, everyone in this station, including you, knows my address.
Then, my friends and relatives...
Who else knows it?
The paperboy, the milkman, then the guy who delivers water.
Anyone apart from that?
Who else might know it, sir?
If we figure that out, we can zero in on the killer.
I don't understand, sir.
The killer knew the addresses of the four victims
their workplace and other details well.
He followed them over a period of time
waited for the right opportunity when they were alone
and killed them in their own ground.
Except Keerthana.
She was killed in a public place.
The killer, who has followed them so closely...
...should have definitely known about Nivetha's affair with Prabhakaran.
Prabhakaran, who stays over at Nivetha's house every night...
...had to leave suddenly that particular night. Why?
Sir, his son slipped and fell in the bathroom.
I checked it at the hospital. Sir, it was just an accident.
What if that was planned by the killer?
Sir.
His intention was to kill Nivetha, not Prabhakaran.
What if Prabhakaran's son was hurt in a trap...
...that was set for Prabhakaran to stop him from visiting Nivetha?
There's another important thing.
Keerthana was killed on December 12th. Tuesday.
Nivetha was killed on January 19th. Friday.
Krishnamoorthy was killed on January 31st. Wednesday.
Arivanandham was killed on February 13th. Tuesday.
If you look at the dates closely...
...Nivetha was killed a month after Keerthana was killed.
After that, each murder took place in a frequency of 11 or 12 days.
So, the killer is taking a gap of 11 to 12 days...
...for each killing.
If we calculate further, 11 or 12 days from the last murder...
...the next one is likely to happen on the 25th or 26th.
Sir, we have no time. We still know nothing about him.
How are we going to catch him?
There is one way.
For that, we need to interrogate Keerthana's friend, Ramya...
...and Prabhakaran's wife, Shalini.
[Title montage]
[Ringing the doorbell]
Is this Prabhakaran's residence?
There is no such person here.
[Prabhakaran's son]Who is it, Mom?
The police have come in search of your dad.
We have come to meet you.
To meet me?
Can we come in?
Okay, come in.
Sir, why did you come to meet me?
I will tell you.
Where's the bathroom in which your son got hurt the other day?
- It's over there. - Can we take a look?
Okay, come with me.
This is the one, sir.
Be careful.
What's that? It looks oily.
So, the killer spilled oil to prevent Prabhakaran
from going to Nivetha's place?
If it stays more than a month, it must be some strong oil.
Do you have surveillance cameras in this building?
No, sir.
Did you see someone suspicious here in the apartment...
...the day your son slipped and fell in the bathroom?
No, sir.
Think well.
The girl living in the flat above ours, had her betrothal that day.
They had a lot of guests.
Did you attend the event?
Yes, I did.
Did you lock the front door when you left the house?
Usually, I lock the door every time I leave the house.
But, on that day, since I was going to the flat above ours...
...I don't recall whether I locked the house or not.
Did you notice anything suspicious or unusual...
...after you returned?
Nothing as such, sir.
But, the person who stays opposite to our building
always creates some ruckus.
On that day, someone parked a car in front of his house.
He raised an issue saying that it was parked by someone
who had come to attend the event.
Later, he came to know that it wasn't parked by any of the guests.
Do you remember the colour of the car?
Yes, it was red in colour, sir.
But, I am not certain about the model.
You can check with the man who stays opposite to this building.
Don't mention my name to him.
He might create another problem out of that.
- Okay, thank you. - Okay, sir.
Thanks, ma'am.
[Knocking on the gate]
Yes, tell me.
Sir, on the 18th of last month did you complain against someone
for parking their car in front of your house?
Sir, everyone stops their car in front of my house.
I have complained about it many times.
No one takes any action.
Sir, I am asking about the day the event took place
in the building opposite to yours.
Yes, one of their guests parked his car in front of my house.
When I questioned them, they denied it.
That is why I lodged a complaint with the police.
You are attending now for a complaint given a month ago.
Did you note down the car number?
Yes, I did.
What is the number?
Please wait.
What was the date you were talking about?
On the night of the 18th.
On the night of the 18th..
Oh, God! Is this his full-time job?
18th January, 2019
Sir, on the night of the 18th, between 8 and 8:15 p.m.
a red coloured Toyota Innova car was parked.
Car number?
Sir, I did not note the car number.
By the time I returned after making the call, the car had left.
Are there any CCTV cameras?
Sir, I have been campaigning for CCTV cameras for this street...
...for quite a while now.
No one listens to me.
Did you see the person who parked the car?
No, sir, I didn't.
But, I can assure you that it was a family
that parked the car here.
You can enquire with them if you have any doubts.
How are you so sure that it was a family that had parked the car here?
Sir, there was a sticker behind the car.
It read, 'Baby on board.'
Sir, a red coloured Innova, with a baby on board sticker.
Sir, please wait. Please resolve my problem.
Let me handle this sir.
- Shall I give you an idea? - Please, sir.
You don't want anyone to park their vehicle outside your house, right?
Yes, sir.
Why don't you buy a vehicle and park it there?
Then, no one else will park there.
What a silly complaint!
We have a lot of things to do.
[Kishore]We have to nab the killer, get promoted...
...and even my honeymoon is pending.
Sir, Keerthana and I, worked in the same office.
The week she got killed, I was in the day shift
and she was in the night shift.
Every evening
we used to meet at the coffee shop in our office building.
Then, she used to go to office...
...and I used to come back to the hostel.
As usual, I waited for her at the coffee shop that evening.
Around what time do you usually meet?
Around 06:30 p.m., sir.
Go on.
She comes at half past six every evening.
On that day, she didn't come even after 7 p.m.
I tried calling her, but her mobile was switched off.
Then, I waited for a while and left.
Only after seeing the police enquiry the following day...
...I came to know that she was murdered.
How was Keerthana's character?
She was a straight forward person.
She didn't care about what others think about her.
She used to speak her mind out.
She was obsessed with cleanliness.
She used to get angry when her room gets a bit dirty.
Did Keerthana ever mention about any unwanted calls, messages...
...or any stalker?
As far as I know, the guy who got arrested regarding this case...
...was the only one who followed her to profess his love.
There was no one else.
Are you sure?
I am sure, sir.
If there was anything like that
I would have disclosed it during the previous enquiry.
How did Keerthana come to the office regularly?
In the office cab, sir.
[Viktor]Can you tell me who used to pick up and drop Keerthana...
...the one who died two months ago?
Our cab driver, sir.
What is his name?
Suresh.
Where is he now?
He must be in the parking lot.
How long has he been working here?
Around 6 to 7 years.
- Call him and ask him to come here. - Okay, sir.
One moment, sir.
[Phone ringing]
- He is not answering it. Let's go inside. - Come.
[Drivers chatting]
[Man 1]There he is, sir.
He might become our manager someday.
There's nothing as such.
- Hey, Suresh. Can't you answer your phone? - Sir.
I am sorry, sir. I had put it on silent while driving. I forgot to change it.
Okay, he wants to ask you some questions.
I will wait in the office.
We have a few questions regarding Keerthana murder case.
Sir, I was at peace after a long time.
Are you back with your interrogation now?
I had disclosed everything I know already.
That's all right. Just repeat them.
Sir, I used to pick up Keerthana regularly.
On that particular day, I had three pickups.
A girl from T. Nagar, Keerthana from Alwarpet
and another girl from Adyar.
The girl from T. Nagar said that she was not coming...
...since it was her boyfriend's birthday.
My car broke down at Thiruvanmiyur
after I picked up Keerthana from Alwarpet.
Hey, don't you give your vehicle for service?
A girl died because of you.
Sir, it was that morning I got my vehicle after servicing it.
What can I do, sir? Curse my fate...
...the car broke down on that day.
Around what time did the car break down?
5:50 p.m., sir.
What happened after that?
I called the service center, sir.
They told me that it would take an hour.
She told me that she cannot wait that long and left.
Hey, aren't you the one who picked her up?
Wasn't it your responsibility to safely find her another vehicle?
The vehicle was stranded in the middle of the road.
I told her that I would move it to a side and find her another vehicle.
She told me that she can manage it herself and did not need any help.
What can I do?
Did you find her boarding any other vehicle?
No, sir, I didn't.
Where exactly did the vehicle break down?
Opposite to Mega Mart in Thiruvanmiyur.
We want to check your CCTV footage regarding a case.
What is the date?
The 12th of December.
December 12... That is two months back.
- Yes. - One minute sir.
Okay, check it.
[CCTV footage on computer screen]
- Kishore, let's go. - Okay, sir.
- Thank you, sir. - Okay.
Sir, it's a red coloured Innova with a baby on board sticker.
But its registration number isn't clearly visible.
To reach ECR forest from here...
...he must go through Sholinganallur toll gate.
Superb, sir.
The number will be registered at the toll gate.
- Sir, he is trapped now. - Let us leave.
- Thank you, sir. - It's okay.
[Vehicle stops]
- Hand this over to the accounts department. - Okay, sir.
Sir, we want to meet the manager.
Tell me. I am the manager.
- Sir, I am Sub Inspector Kishore. - Hello.
This is Mr. Viktor, the inspector of Shastri Nagar station.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
Sir, we urgently want to check the registration number of a vehicle
regarding a case.
Sure. Do you have a letter of authentication?
Sir, we don't have time for formalities.
This is regarding a serial murder case.
We have no idea what he is going to do next
or who will be his next victim.
It could be me, him or even you.
Sir, someone's life is in your hands now.
Please don't insist on formalities now.
- Okay, what car is it? - It's a red Innova.
- Date? - The 12th of December.
- Time? - Between 6:15 to 8 in the evening.
Okay, let's go and check.
Shanmugham, play the footage from December 12th.
- What time, sir? - 6:15 p.m.
Play camera 7.
Zoom in.
Play.
Zoom.
Play the other angle from the back.
Zoom in.
Play.
- Who was the one at the toll booth? - Kokila, sir.
I want to question her.
Do you remember anything?
Sir, I don't remember seeing a girl in that car.
But, he gave me the money from a ladies' handbag.
How can you say that?
Please rewind and play that part again.
Please pause it...
Sir, look at that.
Instead of taking the money from his pocket...
...he fished it out of a handbag in the passenger seat.
Do all the vehicle numbers that come to the toll
get registered in your system?
Yes, sir.
What is the registration number of that vehicle?
One minute, sir.
1404, sir.
What is this? There are only four digits?
Where is the area registration number?
Sir, different tolls use different software.
In the one we use, only the number gets registered.
Without the area registration number
how are we going to find out where the vehicle is from?
It is impossible.
Play all the footage from 07:15 p.m.
Play that portion again.
Play camera 9.
Pause.
Zoom in.
Don't zoom in on the Innova.
Zoom in on the approaching vehicle opposite to that.
Sir, TN 09 AW 1404.
KK Nagar registration. Superb, sir.
[Kishore]He is trapped now!
