"In the battle, the Republicans, led by Brutus, appear to be winning at first."

"But when Cassius' messenger's horse seems to be overtaken by the enemy…"

"…and gets his servant to help him to a quick death."

"After finding Cassius' body, Brutus commits suicide."

Life…

'Tis but a canoe that carries dreams

Life…

-Where are you going? -'Tis but a firefly that seeks the dawn

Wait. Give it, brother. I'll have a go.

What are you doing?

-Hey! Mom will scold you! Come! -Hold on.

Life…

-Come! -'Tis but a time to question the answers

Needless stuff!

'Tis but a canoe…

'Tis but a canoe…

Hey!

Who told you to come here?

Isn't it Sunday, Mom?

I thought I would be helpful to you both if I went to the market.

Let the stench of fishing end with your elder sister and me!

Even if it pays pennies,

my son should only go for a government job!

Go home and study!

You take the fish to the market. I'll come later.

Mom! What's wrong?

-Mom! What is it? -Mom! What's the matter?

Go get her, man!

Mom!

Mom!

Get her out of there!

-Mom! -Mom!

Get her out of there, man!

Mom!

Jhansi,

as we expected,

copies of Maramalli's transfer order

will be sent from the Home Department

to the Superintendent's office in the district of Udhagam Malai,

where she will be posted,

and to the Superintendent's office in Kaverichattiram,

where she is currently posted.

A messenger will collect the transfer order

from the Superintendent's office in Kaverichattiram

and hand it over to Maramalli at the Thalavankottai DSP office.

Mommy will call once she reaches, okay?

Malli?

If your lawyer calls about your divorce, how should I respond?

Say there's nothing left to think about and that she definitely wants the divorce.

-See you. -Travel safe.

Sir?

Maramalli's car just left.

Brother?

Brother?

-Hello? -Welcome, ma'am!

I'm coming over to your jurisdiction, Sekaran.

Where is the party?

You got it, ma'am!

You haven't switched brands, right? Same beer, correct?

Hills. Chill climate, too.

Let's go with rum!

Okay, ma'am. Call me when you've reached.

I'll have the Russian rum ready.

Alright, done. See you.

Play a good Ilaiyaraaja song for our road trip.

UDHAGAM MALAI

Who are you people?

Parking your car inside the premises instead of outside!

What's in the car?

DSP Maramalli ma'am's possessions, sir.

We're coming from Kaverichattiram.

Hold up.

DSP ma'am will arrive early in the morning.

Her things need to be unloaded.

We were told to collect the keys to her quarters from here.

Hey.

One Mr. Namatchivayam is in the first room on the left.

Tell him the inspector outside told you to collect the keys. He'll help you.

Okay, sir. Thank you.

-Hey! -Sir?

Do this. In my dressing room, there's a shawl I received at some event.

-Okay, sir. -Put it away.

Pick up a ready-made cover from a garment store before coming in tomorrow.

For what, sir?

The new DSP takes charge tomorrow. She must be welcomed.

A new DSP is coming, right?

Can't we get a new shawl, sir?

We've been looking at one new DSP after another, haven't we?

-Hello, Mani? -Sir!

I got the key to the quarters from the police station.

Very good, Mani!

The bug has been fixed at the server room in the Home Department office.

Nothing to worry about.

It's your area. Have fun!

I was afraid of the big risk we're taking by bugging the Home Department.

What if I give you one rupee and ask you to swallow it for 5,000 rupees?

Will you do it?

There are people in the Home Department

who would do exactly that with a one-rupee coin.

There are also many who would shit out that coin,

wash it, and carefully put it back in their pockets.

Manikandan, you shameless pig!

Can you hear me yelling?

So you cannot hear?

Soundproof room ready.

That's all there is to it!

THYKARA

You've kidnapped a Deputy Superintendent of Police.

Do you know what will happen if this becomes public?

Why do you not calm down a bit and watch your daughter's game?

Mami!

How much is this, buddy?

Are you lying?

What are you doing here, kid?

We are playing hide and seek!

If you hide in the same place every day, they'll find you!

Shall I hide you in a place where no one can find you?

-Hold on, kiddo. -Okay, Uncle.

Be a dear and stay in here.

Sara!

Uncle!

What was that noise, Uncle?

Right now,

our dear madam

will repeat exactly what I tell her

to her mother. Want to see?

A FEW DAYS AGO

I've had enough of this training, sir! Let go!

Please, sir!

Even if you slip, you shall not fall.

The Lord shall hold you in His arms.

Spring!

Slider!

Come on!
