Carbon (കാര്‍ബണ്‍)

What's up? Been summoned?

Yes yes!

Ma!

Anu, Is there someone called Tomichan in your company?

ln HRD. Thomichan Kozrakkuzhi. Do you know him?

Who's that? No idea.

- They said he works at STAR. - Could be in the KP road office then.

-Why? - Nothing...

-A wedding proposal. -Whose wedding is it?

- Mine. - Shut up!

Where's your friend?

I thought you guys wouldn't show up today.

Busy at office, Uncle...

That's why we're late.

That's alright. I thought I should ask you all first.

You are his close friends, right?

This isn't for the first time. But it's been a few days now

And his phone is always switched off. Wonder what's happening.

It's alright, Uncle. Don't worry.

You know what he's like. He doesn't even call us.

Didn't he tell anyone?

Last Wednesday he was in Santhosh's room.

- Didn't he say where he was going? - Seems he didn't.

If he doesn't come today, we'll make a police complaint.

Wait, Uncle. He'll be back.

No, No! Something's wrong.

He hasn't called anyone all these days.

Uncle... don't take it to the Police now.

Let's wait.

We'll look. Let the Police also look.

Uncle, it's better not to inform the Police now.

- Let's wait. - But why?

- Is there a problem? - There's no problem...

Then?

-Why take it to the Police unnecessarily? - It's necessary!

Leave it, Uncle. We'll find out.

Where are we going to find him?

How can we just ignore it and keep quiet?

It's alright.

One of you come with me to the Police station in the morning.

- Uncle... the problem is-- - What, you don't have the time?

- It's not that. - Then?

Uncle, don't go to the Police now.

What do you mean?

We don't know if it's true...

- Could be a rumor. -What?

They say he's got a diamond, which he's tying to sell.

That's probably why he's not coming home. Seems it's worth Rs. 2 -3 million

-Where did you hear this? - People are talking.

That's all we know. He doesn't tell us these things.

But why's his phone switched off?

Because of its high value he must be concerned about the safety and security.

Security?

Could be something like that.

What's the time on your watch now?

- 5:25 - 5:25... One hour later...

that means, at 6:25, you should call my number.

If I don't answer, you should call me again after 5 minutes.

If I still don't answer... call this number

and tell him that you can't reach me. Then he'll tell you what to do.

Got it? Or give me another ring before calling on that number.

Look, just three calls. After that, call this number.

- Got it? -You mean, first call at 6:25,

then at 6:30.

Then once again at 6:35.

Only then you call on this number. Got it? Don't mess it up.

No, no.

- Is your phone charged? -Yes.

Don't take the phone if anyone calls in between.

Park it there.

No, don't do it. That would only add to the confusion.

Basheer bhai...

It's Sibi.

I'm in the lobby.

Where in the lobby? I'm right here.

Are you wearing a black shirt?

Yeah, black shirt.

I'm also wearing a black shirt.

So you are Sibi Sebastian.

The MD changed his plans yesterday. That's why I asked you to come today.

That's alright.

He's a very busy man. He's staying back just because I asked him.

Listen...

One more thing...

Hereafter, we'll be dealing with you directly.

If you have any partners you deal with them. Not us.

- It's just me. - How'd I know?

I'm mentioning it because you're new to us.

- Well, Basheer bhai... - Shhh...

Don't ever discuss anything inside a lift. There's a camera on top.

No, no the first 60 you were talking about works for me.

No, no... else I'm not interested.

Go ahead. Let me know

No hurry. Take your time

But the deal stays the same.

No.

I can't afford more.

That depends on how smart you are.

No... no... I'll leave in the morning. Calicut to Sharjah.

I'll call you later. Yeah.

This is the guy.

- The gemstone. - Oh yeah. Sit down.

-Where are you from? - Pala.

Sit down.

So...

What gem is it?

Emerald

Emerald... Where did you get it from?

Actually, someone got it from a temple in Trivandrum.

- It's genuine. - Let me take a look.

Show me the stone. Show me.

You're showing me a picture?

I need to see the real stone.

Yeah, I'll definitely show you.

But I need to clarify certain things before that.

What?

Well... suppose we do decide on a price...

How will you pay me?

By DD...?

Or in cash? How? When? Where?

Forget that now.

Show me the stone first.

Basheer bhai...

So you didn't get the stone?

It's in my custody... but...

Then what's the problem?

You've seen the photo, right? It's original.

Nothing to worry. It's from a temple. It's real.

But unless we give him an idea about the price he'll be suspicious.

Him? Now who's that?

The gem is with him.

I see...!

He's not answering the phone.

Hey!

You should've mentioned this earlier.

I'll sort it out. I just need to go to Trivandrum.

- Give me two more days. -You're wasting our time.

No, no, I'll handle it.

Everything was going fine until someone interfered and changed his mind.

Just give me an idea about the price.

The MD just told you, right?

He can't fix a price without actually seeing it.

Unless we fix a price and give him an advance, he won't show it.

- Ok, then do it. - I can't do it.

You don't know my situation.

Oh!

Then don't get into such business.

ln this business, unless you invest you can't make money.

- Have you really seen the gem? - Of course! I took this photo.

Bhai...

Yeah.

What's that guy up to?

He doesn't have the gem. Only that photo.

What do you think?

lt looks valuable. But he is helpless.

Why?

Now he says that the gem is with someone else.

And that guy doesn't trust him.

Then get that guy's details and get rid of this one.

Let's deal directly. Okay?

That's ok. He'll expect at least Rs.15,000.

Give him something.

He's not going to take your calls. Forget it.

- Let me go to Trivandrum and see. - That's up to you.

-We're also leaving. - God! So what about the gem?

Gem...

It's obvious that you can't pull this off.

If you agree, give us his details and we'll contact him directly.

Well, Bhai... I...

We'll give you Ten Thousand rupees.

Here. Give me his name and address.

Only if you want to..

Yeah, I'm coming! Coming!

Please hurry.

Here.

Do you know how long I've been chasing this?

This doesn't even meet my daily expense.

We're giving you this money without any surety.

Only because it's you.

You think we can't do it ourselves?

Here.

But, this is only nine thousand.

Yeah, ten minus one is nine.

- Minus one? -Yeah one is my commission.

That's on you.

10% is usual in every business.

- Bhai, shall I ask you something? - Hmm?

- I know someone who's got a barn-owl. -What?

A barn-owl.

If you're interested, I can get it for you. It's genuine.

Will your MD be interested?

Bugger off, son... Now, take a hike

-Where have you been? - I'm around.

Your parents are worried. You better call them.

They think you're missing. They're upset.

And what do I tell them? That I've been found?

It's easy for you to switch off your phone and vanish.

I'm the one who keeps getting all the calls!

Forget it!

Are you home tomorrow?
