MEESHA
Hello?
Hello.
What's up, man?
Its me Midhun.
Why are you calling at this hour?
I'm on night shift.
Out on patrol.
You must be sleeping, right?
Remember how we used to bathe in the sea at this hour?
I'm sick of living among insects and crickets here.
I'm coming there.
Got any plans this Saturday?
Why?
Let's catch up?
I called Imod.
He's in.
What about you?
Hello?
You there?
Listen...
I've got something nice lined up.
Deer meat!
Bet you haven't tried that before.
Don't let anyone find out.
Or I'm screwed.
Hello?
Hello!
NR sir was a good leader.
He spent his life
preaching philosophy.
Didn't earn a single penny.
Anandu!
'CHAIRMAN: PATTATHANAM MUNICIPALITY'
'Farewell, dear NR Sir'
From what I've heard...
he's planning to come back.
That's going to be a problem for all of us.
How did he act?
Like nothing ever happened.
But I'm sure he's up to something. Definitely.
How long will you keep living in fear?
If he shows up,
do you think he'll spare you?
Now he's handed us a golden chance.
Deer hunt?
He's walked straight into his own trap.
Deer meat!
If it all goes to plan, he'll be behind bars for at least six years.
He called you.
So you should go.
Let things be prepared over there.
But you shouldn't eat it.
We'll trap him.
On that very night itself!
Imod is coming too, right?
He shouldn't know a thing.
You too, ditch this look.
Go like the old you.
Imod!
Who is it? Imod.
Yeah?
Mom, where's Imod? He went out.
Did he say when he'll be back?
He didn't.
Turn down the volume, will you? Hey... What is it, bro?
We need to file this request.
What request?
You underreport your income
to get government benefits.
But when you go for a loan, they reject it.
Now you have to overreport your income.
Why's that, Sabu bro?
This should do.
Also...
We'll meet the village officer on Monday when I'm back. Okay.
Mom...
Mom...
What is it, son?
I'm heading out.
Isn't the load supposed to go today?
No harm if it goes on Monday. Don't forget, we pawned all our gold to start this.
What?
Don't glare at me.
Weren't you tagging along with that slum guy for ages?
He landed a government job and moved up. I would've landed one too.
But you had to marry someone without a caste surname.
Huh?
When will you be back? Tomorrow.
Come early.
I will.
Hey!
How long will you keep doing politics without getting a job?
It's come this far now...
wait for six more months.
Corporation elections are coming up.
Huh?
Are you contesting?
I'm off.
Come on, man!
Whoa!
Who's this? A cine star?
Looking all handsome after a shave!
Let's go.
Go.
1449...
What?
I brought the car. So you're paying for the fuel.
Aren't we buying booze?
Will you pay for that?
What's up with you? You look all dull.
Drive.
Let's settle the accounts. Great, if you actually do.
[singing a Christian devotional song]
Yes, Dad?
What do you want? He is saying something. You just keep singing.
Should I switch off the fan?
Want some water?
God only knows what he wants!
Is this what he wanted?
I have twirled it up.
Happy now?
Don't worry.
The bishop will come.
Kitho will bring him, just like you wanted.
And the tomb...
We'll make an amazing tomb.
Alright? Your son promises you!
Sleep in peace. Don't stress.
Kitho...
Where were you? Took you long enough. Kannankiri Thambi gave this.
List of items for the meal.
That's a long list.
There's still some money left from what you gave for the tomb.
Give that for this. Tell him we'll pay the rest by tomorrow evening.
Also...
It's not sure the bishop will come.
We might have to pay him.
I've got an idea.
Shall we call the vicar from Palakkal?
No, no, the bishop must come.
My Dad really wanted him to come.
Or his soul won't rest in peace.
Anyway, for the church
3 lakhs from Thommy! I came straight from the church.
Hey...
Stop fooling around and go.
What's the update?
Doctor came in the morning.
Said he won't make it past two days.
Thommy isn't someone who should be lying like this. Back in his good days...
no one dared to step into his yard.
Now they're roaming these corridors. Leave it.
We'll just nail his funeral and other ceremonies.
A Bishopled Holy Mass,
and a tomb to rival every rich guy's in this land!
A feast for 2,000 people.
When Kuruppunthara Thommy departs,
the whole land should know!
Member's not answering the phone.
He won't answer, no matter when it is.
Is it? Then I'll try calling him. Try Suni's BSNL number if mine doesn't work.
How old is Thommy uncle?
Past his 90s.
He once ruled this land.
Lost it all when the labourers marched in with a flag.
When people remember him after he's gone...
nobody should recall all his bad actions.
They should witness a grand sendoff with their eyes,
and good food on their tongues.
All that costs money.
Going to the forest isn't without reason, you know.
Hey!
Let's go?
Let's go!
'Albin Roy's deathwhat's the truth? His friends speak out.'
Hold this.
I'll be right back.
