Ten Hours (டென் ஹவர்ஸ்)

I joined the police force to pursue a job that excites me, rather than settle for one that feels uninspiring.

The past 10 hours have been the most exciting time in my career.

I feel like I'm loosing in every way possible.

Sir.. Can I say something?

In 2015, when I was working as a constable at a station in Madurai,

a person came to complain that his daughter and granddaughter were missing.

No one paid attention to his complaint.

He kept coming to the station every day.

That's when a new sub-inspector arrived at the station.

The sub-inspector noticed the old man and paid attention to his complaint.

The fellow officers were not happy with this and purposely created hurdles to impede his efforts.

But the sub-inspector overcame all that and found the daughter and grandchild of that old man.

But not alive. Their dead body was found.

The autopsy report came and it was found that, the killer was a psycho who used their body for sex even after death.

The only evidence that existed in the case was human teeth marks discovered on the corpses.

The tooth marks were compared with those of the suspects, but they failed to match.

But the sub-inspector refused to give up.

Later, the sub-inspector pondered,

Why did no one in at the station take up this case?

Not only that, they actively obstructed my investigation efforts.

So he suspected all the people in that station and arranged a party for them.

At the party,

once everyone finished their food, the sub-inspector instructed to place an apple on each person's plate.

We distributed apples to everyone.

No one could finish their apple, as their stomachs were already full.

All the half-eaten apples were immediately sent to the forensic lab.

And we got a match..

And that was found to be the station's Inspector only.

Legal proceedings were not taken against the offending policeman, due to his strong political support.

The sub-inspector, who understood that he could not legally punish the culprit,

carried out justice through an encounter without any fear.

The sub-inspector said that, I will only do what I feel that is justice for the victims.

His name is CASTRO.

You cracked that case, where there was not much evidence at that time.

I'm confident that this case will also be solved, and the killer will be punished.

Come on, sir, let's go.

Same time

Attur police station, Salem district.

Our daughter who went to college this morning hasn't returned yet, sir.

Do you have any photo or ID proof of her ?

Yes, we have.

Give that

Tell your daughter's phone number?

Shekar ; walk carefully

Hey guys, what happened ?

Don't worry, I will take care of this

How dare to touch my people ?

Morning 8am she goes to college,

after college by 6.30p.m., she has a coaching class.

she will be back at home by 8pm, usually.

When we enquired the coaching class, they said she was absent today.

Where is the coaching center located ?

Thendral Nagar, sir.

Mani brother, come. Get into the jeep.

ok sir.

What is there in the bag ?

'Irumudi' is in this bag, sir. You can head directly to Sabarimala tomorrow if we're running late.

Thanks brother

Sir, Vicky is on the line.

Yeah, give it.

Tell me Vicky..

Sir, I have checked the girl's phone number you gave, the phone switched off at the Chinnampatti tower location.

Ok.

Brother, Thendral Nagar is coming under Chinnampatti tower location right ?

Yes sir.

It means the girl disappeared from that area.

Hey man,

are you drunk?

No sir

Where is NOC coaching center located ?

Near by only sir.

Which direction?

This direction sir.

Have you seen this girl ?

Yes sir, every day she goes by this side. Even today also.

Did you see her today also!

Yes sir.

Brother,

The girl arrived here.

She got off the bus.

Even the shopkeeper spotted her!

But she never made it to the coaching center.

It means something happened in between !

Sir, no one is here this side.

Sir no one is here too !

Break the lock..

The kidnappers probably haven't gone too far.

Immediately pass on the information, that the girl was kidnaped.

How can you say it's a kidnapping !

What if she eloped with her lover?

When we arrived, we saw a broken streetlight and a dark house next to it.

But water was dripping from the A/c unit in that house.

That's why I asked to break the lock.

And the cooling of the room had not decreased at all.

So they must not have been gone for long.

Based on these, how can it be concluded that it was a kidnapping?

We found several worms under the broken street light.

Same worms were found in front of that house gate as well.

If some one attacked the girl with worms,

definitely she wouldn't able to change the dress in public.

Hey scoundrels, what have you done !

Oh god they have put worms on her, Shake it dear ! It will be fine.

Now days its unsafe for girls to go out. Too many worms are there, You better change the dress.

They forced her to enter the house and kidnapped.

It's a pre - planned kidnap.

So.. we will tell SI Karan to take care of this case,

and shall we go for election duty.

Brother..

This is also our duty.

If they have kidnapped her with such a plan,

there might be a big network behind this.

There might be many reasons for this kidnapping,

but our duty is to make sure that she is safe.

Give me the walkie..

Attur Inspector Castro speaking.

A kidnapping case is recorded. Send the girl's photo to all surrounding stations.

And make sure thorough checking is done at the outposts. I'm on the way. Over..

Stop stop.. stop the vehicle

Take this money, don't call me. If anymore works come, I will let you know.

Ok ok..

Sir, can you please call your daughter?

What is the matter sir ?

Call her sir, we have to enquire her.

Keerthi dear..

Is she your friend?

Yes sir

This girl has been since missing since evening.

Her parents made a complaint,

do you know anything about this?

I don't know about this.

Is she having any love affair?

Nothing like that sir..

- Don't hesitate to tell.. - Sir..

These things should be done in the morning.

Not this night.

You go inside dear.

Take it

Thanks sir

It's clear sir.

Then close the dicky.

Hey, one vehicle is coming..

Jindaa,Let's go back!

Go man..

Come.. Come.. Come little front. Stop

Where you coming from?

Back from a function sir.

Show me your license ?

Open the dicky

Jindaa, what to do now?

You keep quiet..

Move your legs..

Eh.. Gopi.. here is the girl.

Sir, coming sir..

Stop.. stop.. stop the vehicle..

Get the dead body into the ambulance quickly. Inspector has come.

Sir, 3 constables were killed in the attack.

Has a blue car passed through the Rasipuram checkpoint?

No vehicle had come to the checkpoint for a long time.

They cannot proceed from here without passing, through the Rasipuram check post !

There's a small route before the Rasipuram check post.

It will pass through Asalampadi village and eventually reach the Viluppuram highway.

That's the route they've taken.

Given the winding nature of the road, it's unlikely that the vehicle traveled at high speeds.

Taking the route via Chinnamala would allow us to reach the Viluppuram Highway more quickly.

We can definitely catch up to that vehicle.

The police are approaching. Drive fast man..

Shit.. How did the police find out?

Isn't this Guna's territory?

Who are all of you?

We are the ones who kidnap people for money.

Where's that girl you kidnaped ?

A car came in between, and the girl was taken into it. We're unsure of anything else.

It was only after that incident that you caught us.

Take your phone and call the man who assigned you this task.

yes sir..

What's this sudden habit you're displaying? You are making a call!

I called to find out if the girl arrived there.

Isn't the phone on speaker mode?

Did the police catch the thief by then?

No matter how brilliant you are, I challenge you. You can't catch me.

Give it a try if you want.

You'd kidnap girls, kill cops, and do anything for cash to survive.

I don't know much sir.. please leave me sir.

Sir, please leave me..

Vicky, I've forwarded you a number. I need the details of that number immediately.

Tell me Vicky

Sir that number belongs to a Bengaluru address.

But, it switched off under Kallakurchi tower location.

No other incoming or outgoing calls have gone to this number.

Yes control room, tell me

Where is the bus right now?

Can you say the exact location of the bus?

Do you know the bus number?

What's your name sir ?

Are you there?

Control to patrol.. Control to patrol..

Chennai to Coimbatore IYMPON TRAVELS, Bus number TN 10 BC 5697.

An information has been received that, a girl is being harassed.

At that time, the bus was 5 kilometers behind the Kallakurichi toll.

Right now, the bus passed the Kallakurichi toll. Catch the bus immediately. Over
