Vettah (വേട്ട)

There's one thing that I have learnt from my dad.

We never choose life.

Life chooses us.

I didn't choose my profession as a police officer.

Through my father, Circle Inspector Sreenivasan, the profession chose me instead.

There will be a case in the life of any police officer that can never be forgotten.

I had one such case in my life too.

Melvin Philip... I heard that name for the first time through that case.

And I never thought that name was going to change my life.

After all... life is a hunt. And it is we who choose whether to hunt or to be hunted.

Grandpa is not giving my teddy.

Have your food, sweetie.

Why do you take her teddy bear all the time?

Have food, dad.

Grandpa has peed in his pants.

You know grandpa is ill, right?

You have food.

Get up, dad.

Mom, I'm really sorry.

What for?

For making fun of grandpa.

Come on.. that's okay.

Why are you laughing, mom?

I was thinking about an old story.

Long back, grandpa had a Fiat Padmini.

You know what he used to call it? "Pee vehicle"

I was scared of speed then.

Whenever grandpa went fast, I used to pee!

Thus Fiat Padmini became "Pee vehicle".

Hello..

Good morning madam.

This is the spots.

The incident happened here.

The brake has been applied all on a sudden.

So it doesn't feel like a collision.

It could have been blocked purposely.

Seems to be.

Who saw this first?

Sanjeevan did, while patrolling.

What did you see?

Madam, it was during the routine patrol that the car was found abandoned.

Since the valuables were found inside, it was evident that the motive wasn't theft.

On tracing the number, it could be found that...

...the car belonged to film star Uma Satyamoorthi.

I had informed the matter to the control room right then.

It was during a detailed search that we could find the mobile lying below the front seat.

A car is found abandoned in the main road during the night.

A well-known actress is missing from there.

No sign of attack or any struggle.

It's quite strange.

Ma'am, they had gone last to attend the get together function of their college mates.

Uma had reached Hotel White Clouds at 7. 30 in the evening driving herself.

She went back at 10. 30 in the night.

Check the CCTV at the hotel.

I want the details of all who came for the get together.

Sure Ma'am.

Did you trace the owner of the mobile that was found there?

The connection is under the name of one Melvin Philip.

The outgoing calls from this phone has gone to a single number.

That too five times.

Which number?

All the five calls have gone to Xylex sir's number.

What?

Xylex, the person who died in your station could have been a convict...

but he's a human being too.

Then what about the three kids sexually abused by him? Aren't they human beings?

So? That justifies your wrongful act?

Wham wrong did I do? I've already told you.. we got him from a completely provoked mob.

He was already beaten up by then.

Sorry.

That is the reason for his death as well.

You can check the autopsy report.

But that doesn't let you run away from your responsibilities.

Listen... I have already gone through a lot.

I am in a stage where I can't decide even on my personal issues.

Even regarding adopting a child.

I have never misused my uniform.

This is not just a profession for me" it's a passion.

Yes, it's the same number.

When was it? You still remember?

Almost two weeks back.

On the day of that hearing.

At first I thought it was a prank call.

The connection has been taken under the name of a Melvin Philip.

It was taken recently.

The matter is different.

He has made only five outgoing calls from that number.

The funny part is that all the calls have been made to you.

Now I can be blamed for kidnapping Uma Samyamoorthi.

I am going through the best time!

It's the case file. Just go through.

Please spare me from this case Already I'm in trouble dealing with another!

He is our prime suspect. It's important for this case to know why he called you.

And it's our responsibility.

I saw everybody's responsibility when a problem happened to me.

Give me the file.

Bala had called.

Hmm..

Why don't you take up this case?

Anu, let's talk something else.

About what, Xylex?

Is it about adoption?

In this situation it's not going to work.

Then about the treatment... but the problem is not for me..

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Just think" if you can prove this case, all the black marks in your career will be over.

You don't know when he went out?

No, sir.

Melvin has no friends here?

No.

He is a peculiar kind... doesn't talk to anyone much.

Visitors?

Visitors come to him occasionally.

When did he come yesterday night?

He came late than usual. But I'm not sure about the time.

If he comes here you should inform us.

Okay, sir.

Let's go.

Ma'am... All the visuals after Uma Satyamoorthi came to the get together has been checked.

Okay, let's go.

Ma'am.. Uma's car reached the parking at exactly 7:12pm.

Uma reached the party hall at 7:21pm.

Now see this Ma'am.

Do you see the three persons who are with Uma while going to the hall?

Just watch that guy.

The one standing near the other three... that's Melvin.

I have checked the list of guests who came for the get together.

He was her college mate.

This is the camera near the parking area of the hotel...

Do you see the grey Santro that follows Uma's car?

Rajeev, take him immediately.

Yes Ma'am.

Four years back... to be exact, Nov 13, 2011...

That was when your daughter Angel went missing, right?

Yes.

The missing of your daughter made your wife Sherin in...

...to a state of depression and she became a drug addict.

The effort was to bring her back to normal. But by then...

Your honour, it has been proven beyond the doubt that this convict has done a cruel act.

As such the convict may be given the maximum possible punishment of life imprisonment.

Any further submissions?

That's all your honour.

Excuse me, has someone named Sherin been admitted here?

Are you Melvin?

Please come.

Yes.

Jumped from the balcony. Death happened on the spot.

Melvin.. your old college mate is a famous actress now.

Was it an infatuation during the college days or the jealousy seeing her current state?

What was the reason?

She's safe, Madam.

Where is she?

I haven't troubled Uma in any way, sir.

After all, she is a celebrity.

She shouldn't know about our shortcomings.

The life of celebrities is not like ours.

Everything is better for them.

Better food, better clothes everything is better.

So I gave her a better death.

Painless death.

What did you say?

I killed her.

Just one question to you, Melvin.

How much do you trust your wife?

Did you go out today?

No.

Prakashan said he saw you at Kadavanthra.

That's why I asked you.

Oh I forgot to tell you. I had gone to Jayalakshmi with Sreya.

It's her engagement next week.

Hmm.. Okay.

Can you please give me the cheese?

Okay... you saw them together.

So? What's wrong?

There will be truth behind a series of lies.

Your statement to police says that every statement made by the convict is wrong.

Definitely. See I'm a psychologist.

I can say whether a person is lying from his body language.

Can you explain that?

Sure. If it is a lady, she will be hesitant to look into your face or...

...will hide her face with some object or will deliberately make it vague..

Err... I had forgotten... Err... I had gone with Sreya.

It's the direct flight to Dubai. He booked it. Sherin was sitting in the car then.

The greatest pain in the world is cheating.

There is only one punishment for that.

Death.

There is a starting point for every crime.. How it is utilized makes it perfect.

The starting point here was a fever that Sherin had.

To portray her as a drug addict, I injected drugs instead of medicines.

I was giving back what she had done to me.

There are three factors to determine a crime.

The time when it happened, the place and the reason for the death.

The time that I chose to call Sherin.

Hello... It's not clear.

Sherin, you come out to the balcony.

I chooses the narrow balcony as the place.

The perfect time, place and then, the perfect crime happens...

ls there someone admitted here under the name Sherin?

Are you Melvin?

Yes.
