A few days ago, a decent group of people wearing M R Radha masks...

looted a big sum of money and got away.

Oh, it’s pouring Pouring, pouring, pouring…

Pouring, pouring, pouring…

When I say a big sum of money, I mean A LOT of money.

They used 3 containers, so you can imagine how much.

This wretched fellow dares to talk about politics!

Get lost!

Oh, it’s pouring - Gimme it Pouring, pouring, pouring - Gimme it!

Waxing lyrical, painting a dream Only to stab us in the back

We don't have to worry about anything anymore.

With all this money we have, we can own the country.

Uncle, not just the country... we can own the entire world now!

The morning after the money heist...

AITT party cadres were in a joyous and celebratory mood.

Because those activists-for-hire were invited to a rally by their party leader...

who announced that his party would contest in all 234 constituencies in the upcoming elections.

The wannabe king, Manivannan. - We will rule over others.

We will own the country!

Couldn't you get a garland with better colours?

Good times are ahead for Tamil Nadu!

Chief, the announcement this morning came as a pleasant surprise!

I was speechless.

Do you want us to remain a fringe party contesting over a dozen seats forever?

Come on, Chief! I have always wished for our party to contest independently.

Why would you say that? - Then what?

It's not that, Chief.

He is hesitant because he is unsure if our party has the money to contest independently.

We have the money.

This morning, the money we had set aside has been disbursed.

All constituencies will get the money within the next 12 hours.

In two weeks' time, each counsellor shall have the money needed as per the ward voters list.

Even though several people paid the price before and after the heist...

two of them suffered far more damaging consequences than the rest.

One - this guy here who wasn't involved in the heist directly...

but is going after the robbers now.

Velu.

Two, this lady here gently lifting the mask and slowly examining it...

Bhumi.

If Velu doesn't recover the stolen money soon...

there is a team waiting to put an end to both Velu and Bhumi.

The reason Velu finds himself in such a mess today...

has nothing to do with his job.

It's the strawberry helmet he got for what he wanted to do that night.

If you are wondering why I'm stressing on the flavour, you will understand soon.

What do you want?

I want everything.

But you don't have everything.

An abusive relationship.

Depression.

Followed by psychiatric treatment.

At the clinic, you befriended “Attack” Arun, who was there to treat his depression too.

Both of you got over friendly and leaned into each other's shoulders.

And I spied on you.

Everything I witnessed is on your phone now.

The bedroom videos are in another folder.

Watch them when you are alone, I'm feeling a little shy.

We have found a groom for our daughter. Can you do a background check on him?

I need to know if my daughter goes to her college regularly.

I suspect she is using drugs.

He paid only two instalments of his auto loan.

When I went to his house to seize his auto...

his wife accused me of molesting her and created a ruckus.

I'm telling you, he is not here.

You wish to knock on my door every single day, huh?

It's not like your door is made of gold. - You bring some new guy every time.

Tell us where your husband is.

I'm telling you, I don't have the money.

Buddy, say something.

Don't get friendly now.

You are my client now. Pay me.

I've made the payment.

He doesn't come here.

She goes to visit him.

Her slippers are sticky with beach sand.

Look at the overflowing dishes, that's a lot of food for one person.

We've been monitoring her in shifts for 3 weeks, 24 hours a day.

She didn't even come out for a second.

She's got a ladder in the back.

Ohh, what the fish!

I smell delicious fish gravy.

I'm sure she is seeing him tonight.

Instead of watching the front of the house...

if you guys had watched the rear of the house, you'd have caught him weeks ago.

When it comes to guys like Velu...

hacker, blackmailer, hustler...

scammer, fraudster, call them whatever you like.

But if you don't include a prefix, Velu will get offended.

The prefix being...

Ethical.

Ethical.

Ethical.

Ethical hacker.

Ethical blackmailer.

Ethical hustler.

Ethical scammer.

Your husband hired me.

My wife is having an affair. I want to divorce her.

I don't want to pay her a rupee in alimony.

So I need proof for that.

Ma'am...

Thank you.

Bloody beggar!

If I'd sent him these videos, I'd have got paid for it.

But that wouldn't be fair. I strive to uphold justice.

You were physically abused, right?

Physical abuse of women...

is something I can't tolerate.

Your grandma's name is Harriet?

Do you like her a lot. - I really like her, sir.

So you think she'd protect you if you hide your license and spare SIM behind her photo?

Anyone else in my place would have handed it over to the financier right away.

I'll give your husband a flawless report about you.

A win-win for both of us. Sounds good?

How is that a win for you?

If you pay me my 5 lakhs, it's a win for me too, right?

Five from your husband, and five from you.

Five plus five is ten, I consider that a win.

I can hear you swear.

Thank you, sir. - Your thanks are worthless.

You ride through the college area, right? - Yes, sir.

This girl studies there.

When does she go to college? How does she go back?

Does she go straight home? Or camp somewhere and get high?

Does she have a boyfriend? A boy-bestie?

Both mean the same damn thing. Find out of there is someone in her life.

Sir, she goes for dance classes after college.

Then she goes to a coffee shop and cries to her friends.

Then she leaves.

And warn Arun not to try anything funny, I've got a whole hard drive on him.

Someday, I might ask him for a favour.

Tell him he needs to do it for me.

She is coming.

I am short by 5000 rupees, brother.

That's okay, you can GPay it to me.

This is all I could manage.

No issues, you can pay it by 10am tomorrow.

Come on, this is a lot of money for a video of me just dancing.

If I send the video to your father, he'd get you married off. You okay with that?

Go there and wait. Let me talk to him.

Why are you always-- - greedy for money?

Yeah!

When I was 10 years old, I needed my mother's love.

But the hospital needed money.

I lost my mother and her love.

My father needs respect.

But you need money to get respect.

I don't need the money.

But the world needs money.

As and when needed, Velu gets emotional like this to justify his line of work.

Your daughter's issue isn't something external. It's her family.

Send her for dance classes. She will be happy.

Are you reminded of the conflicted hero in Nayagan who wonders if he is good or bad?

Yes, sir.

Have no doubt at all.

I am a bad person.

But I'm not a scumbag.

Do you want to get away? Get ahead? Are you in trouble? Are you bound?

Need someone to plan your escape? I’m your guy

The reason a guy like Velu keeps himself busy and earns money...

call it love, affection, adoration, romance, passion, or any other fancy word...

it can be summarised in one word.

Velu...

Come here.

Kayal's father had called regarding something.

Tell him to call me directly. - At least listen to what he said.
