Hello!

Hey, my dad has left again to our native, looking for a bridegroom.

It'll settle only if any elders come and talk in our house.

Your father said, he will not get you married unless I become SI.

Then, what is your problem?

See, if you don't tell your mom... -To mom?

...I'll call myself and ask her to come.

If anyone comes here without my knowledge, I'll spare you.

Hey, why are you speaking angrily?

I'm not angry. -You're getting angry, often.

Listen to what I say.

Ask your mom to come and talk. Else, you come and talk tomorrow.

This time you listen to what I say, everything will be fine.

Okay, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

The new police inspector has arrived.

Hey, has the old inspector died?

Who cares if the inspector is dead. Tell them to get the complaint.

Hey, mam has arrived.

Good morning, mam.

Good morning.

Everyone here knows me very well.

I'm taking up duty here only for today.

Let us observe a moment of silence for the departed Inspector.

Then, everyone can proceed their work.

Why is everyone so silent?

May be a silent tribute!

Who are you?

Mam, he is our station PC.

By the way, unable to see you in the station.

Have to go to investigate a case in the morning.

-A dead body has been found under the Kovalam bridge.

Just now the autopsy got over.

Who is it?

Mam, it’s a woman.

Must be around 35 to 40 years of age.

Oh...

No evidence of rape attempt.

It's said she has committed suicide.

Her name is Malliga from Neelankarai slum.

Oh, is it?

Have you informed her house?

Not yet, mam.

-I’m going to the court for an old case. -Oh...

That’s why, I called you to inform.

Okay, I’ll send someone else. When will you return to the station?

If she asks, will you give right away?

Don’t keep talking unnecessarily, hang up the phone.

Nonsense in the morning.

Congratulations, Murthy sir.

For what, sir?

Definitely, you've a chance to get promotion in this case.

Thank you, sir.

The nation has gone haywire to the extent of killing an Inspector.

Now, who is taking charge as new Inspector?

The Inspector from Thiruvanmiyur.

Thiruvanmiyur... That is J6 station.

You mean the woman Inspector?

Yes... -She is very strict.

She has arrived. Go and do your work.

Sir, wait.

Move away. step back.

Good morning, mam. -Good morning, Murthy.

Are you doing good? -I'm good, mam.

Good catch.

Thank you, mam.

Murthy, as shown in films...

...did you tell them to kill and waiting down with the gun?

Oh, gosh, mam!

I was just kidding, Murthy.

Has everyone arrived?

Yes, everyone has arrived mam.

Then, let's finish soon and send to the court.

Yes, mam.

Mam, you go.

Murthy. -Mam.

Is this your Inspector's own house? -No, mam.

This is the house of someone known to the Inspector.

But, he will stay here only.

Oh, is it?

I inquired at the station.

They say there was an old enemity between the Inspector and the murderer.

Is it a fact? -Yes, mam.

The Inspector once arrested him in a brothel case.

May be that animosity also.

Why? Any problem mam?

Nothing like that, Murthy.

The Assistant Commissioner has told to check all the details of this case...

...and send it to the court. That's why.

Murthy, I got the autopsy report of the Inspector.

Tell to hand over the corpse to his house.

Okay, mam.

If everyone is ready, bring him. -Okay, mam.

What’s your name?

Ramar, mam.

Look, how you entered and how you murdered the inspector...

...you pronounce and demonstrate everything.

Okay, mam.

I'll come to this bungalow, often.

Yesterday I came here because he suddenly called me on phone.

I was sitting here.

Inspector was sitting there, mam.

We both started to booze.

He got little high, suddenly.

He spoke filthy about my wife.

He also spoke filthy about my mom.

I got angry and killed him.

When you were slaying, where was the Inspector sitting?

He was sitting here.

You demonstrate again, how you slayed him?

I slayed him like this, mam.

Once more.

I slayed him like this, mam.

Not that, Ramar.

You demonstrate the actual speed you enforced when you slayed him.

Mam...mam...

Shall we put on the handcuffs for safety?

Sir, don’t be afraid.

We will not murder a policeman...

...unless they cause us trouble.

Mam, you don’t be afraid.

Did you see his arrogance?

If a policeman troubles him, will he murder?

Murthy, bring him to the police station.

I’ll will go home and come back.

Okay, mam.

Send all phone call records of the Inspector to my table.

Okay, mam.

And also the knife stand. -Okay, mam

Sir, we caught the accused, right?

Instead of signing the paper and sending him to the court...
