Face 2 Face (ഫേസ് 2 ഫേസ്)

This is a city, one among many sprawling the expanse of the earth

The hunterwants to kill while the hunted refuses to comply...

...is an every-day agitation here

Eyes closed, ears plugged, lips sealed, hands crossed

We aren't slave puppets of yore doomed to obey order

Heads held high with gumption duels in an arena of affection

Friends, come...follow We are here to change the law

Red, blood flowing...fiery red A hot blooded gang spirited

lf your evil acts you flaunt for sure, jail will be your haunt

ln a warfare renowned country as war lords we march with gallantry

From streaks of lightning we are the sparks emanating

Love us, we'll share our hearts fully Join us, we'll welcome you, heartily

Head to toe and wrapped all around Hand and foot we'll leave you bound

Like giant waves sweeping in rapidity To stop and do away with atrocity

Murderers most cruel, beware To wring out your bones we dare

Cold blooded mountain bandits With our arms we suppress

Hear! How clever and cunning we are!

lf you defy us, needles we will be for we are thorns of the coral tree!

Eyes closed, ears plugged, lips sealed, hands crossed

We aren't slave puppets of yore doomed to obey order

Heads held high with gumption duels in an arena of affection

Friends, come...follow We are here to change the law

Hello Baby'cha, it's me When does your bar open?

Can't you wait till morning, my dear sir?

Hello?

Who is that dying of thirst?

Pah! Can't you switch it off at least at midnight? Nuisance!

We got disconnected Where are you calling from?

- From Dwarakapuri - What are you saying, sir?

Not from the Lord's abode From your Dwarakapuri

l dozed off against the wall of the rest room

by which time your boys locked up the place

When will you open?

- Now what shall we do? - Nothing

l'll send one of my boys

Not necessary, don't trouble them Just tell me where the switches are

Ah! lt's here, got it

What's this? Lightning and thunder

Sir, butall alone in the baryou?

So what? lt's not the devil's den lt's only a bar, an innocent bar

1st time l'm sitting all alone in such a big bar and drinking

lf you also want to feel this pleasure, sit here all alone and drink

After all, you are the owner, isn't it?

Baby'chaya, l am going to break the neck of a Black Dog at your cost

You can go back to sleep

Good night Sweet dreams

Hello?

Ah marvellous!

There's nobody in our force who can shoot as sharp as you do

l appreciate that

Do you want to try your hand in the Grand American Trap?

l'm unable to free my hand from the traps l'm already in!

You are not at all ambitious

Yes, my ambitions are few

When l do my job diligently the department rolls its eyes

Next they send stoppers notice and suspension orders

So what have you collected more? Salary or suspension?

Suspension is the award Govt gives to people with guts

Only favoured people get it

You are on the verge of being favoured again, right?

So careless! A man's greatness is how he shoulders his responsibilities

You are king of a single-room palace That too, a rented room!

Brother, if you're here to counsel me l'll go to someone who's better at it

Okay, l'm not saying anything more l've been blabbering for years in vain!

Shall we go to the party hosted by the SP (Superintendent of Police)?

The SP inviting me today will suspend me tomorrow

lt won't look good, Bala

No, l have some other work

So just drop in today, have 2 pegs and leave

Once l start drinking, l can't stop at 2 pegs

l'm very weak in that aspect

Come!

Sir, did you meet Bala?

- How many did you down so far, Bala? - Haven't counted

My dear sir, once Balan starts drinking he'll stop only after drying up a whole range

Never ask a women's age, a man's salary and the number of pegs Bala drinks

So Bala is neither a man nor a woman?

Don't poke fun at me

l'll show you if l'm a man or woman, want to see?

- Bala! - Okay, l'm sorry

Come

Brother, want to play a game?

Not now, let me talk to Deputy SP Rawther

Deal a hand for me too, guys

How far has your case investigation reached, Bala?

As usual, just as it reached a stage for an arrest

they transferred me claiming inefficient investigation

A small slip-up on my part has become a major issue now

lf l catch those criminals, all l can do now is

kiss them and say dear son, go home!

No complaints! All will be happy

Sure! Asking the criminals to go home is easy

But make sure you also reach home on time

Of course, l'll go home on time l don't have a joker in the pocket like you

- Bala, watch your words - That's exactly what l did!

What will you do?

You've been itching forthis, haven't you! l'll cure this itchforyou!

Bala, what is this? Come away

Move aside Useless!

You think l am useless as you are unworthy of the position you hold

Don't act too smart, okay?

- Didn't l warn you not to come here? - l said, come away

Aah! Ma!

Bala'etta!

Aaahh

Bala'etta

What is it?!

The boss called us this morning

Sorry sir, l don't know how this happened

l too have no clue

l'll be back tonight also To escape other hassles

This guy can go and sleep l will be there as a guard, right?

Hello, Anwar l'm at home only

When? Oh!

Aterrible and cruel murder has happened here

The son of prominent businessman and politician, Kunian Varghese Punjakad

Thomas Punjakadan, is the victim who has been so brutally murdered

Chief lnspector in charge Abdul Latheef is here

What are your initial deductions?

lt is truly unfortunate We can't say anything more now

Personally, do you think this was a politically related murder?

The media can come to your own conclusions, but we as police can't

l'm sorry

l hope, more details will show up This is Anwar, with cameraman Shaji

Network Channel

Shaji, just hold this please l'll just go relieve myself

Okay da, come soon

Bala'etta, now we don't even have time to pee

Get relieved fully!

This is really a terrible scene

When he was alive it was worse

- You go pee, man! - l'll be right back

Kerala is literally stunned by the news of the murder of Thomas Punjakadan

This incident is creating major ripples in Kerala politics

Political leaders of various parties are reacting

MLA, CPJohnny is on the line with us...over to his reaction

CPJohnny, how does your party view this murder your young leader?

We are all shocked, as if struck by lightning

The loss to the party and people is colossal

That such an event has happened in our enlightened Kerala is shameful

How cruel to kill someone and nail him on to a cross!

lt looks like killing him was not the contention

Tying him to the cross was!

True! They say an event like this has never happened anywhere before in the world

Unbearable sight Right, Balachandran sir?

lt's true and l feel very sad

Why feel sad, Bala?

Because the crucified person is not the Messiah of Lord

He did cross swords with you and got you into deep trouble too

But is it worth nursing such enmity to someone who is now dead?

Punjakadans are suspects in the Venjyara murder case

This could possibly be a retaliation from them

Chances are low

This doesn't seem like a typical political murder

True, if it was, they'd have just killed him

They won't botherto nail him on a cross like this

Who caresthe deed is done?!

Just see if the murderer now attends the funeral feast

Or consult astrologers Atukal or Unni Pannikar

They'll prophesy using their cowrie-shells

- Why does that make you angry? - l am just stating facts, not angry

Stop making an issue out of this

Bala, come here Come here

They were already discussing this before you came

Knowing your anger, they had cooled down

But hearing them talk, it's obvious they suspect you

Oh is it like that? That's not bad

Bala, any slip-up by mistake?

l don't commit slip-ups

lf l feel he deserved it l'll ensure he's finished

No

lt's still going on, not over yet

Thank you very much, Uma

ls my presence still required here, sir?

- No, its fine, you can leave - Thank you

-Ah! Latheef - What do you think, sir?

No doubt it's a brutal murder All his internal organs are bruised

Severe torture has also taken place

A detailed report?

Within 2 days l'll call you, Latheef

- Thank you, sir - Okay

Thomas Punjakadan's body, after postmortem has been handed over to his family

The funeral is at 11:00 AM tomorrow

The public can pay their last respects at the town hall by 8:00 AM

Can you and l be on the same level equally?

Oh Lord!

What, life of my life? Are you very tired?

Yeah! Tired of running around!

Rundoesn't the common man need to have his daily fill of hot news?

How long are you planning to rejoice Punjakadan murder?

Stop flirting and get me something to eat, l'm starving

Eat? But l haven't been to the kitchen at all today

Must l cook and fill your stomach also?

Go quickly and make a few chapattis, my girl!

l'm tired You go make them, da!

Yeah! And you'll also eat!

- Good evening, Bala'etta - Good evening

How was the 1st day of the Punjakadan murder case?

Did you find out which Bheeman killed him?

Do the police have any clue?
