'The pouncing tiger'

'Good morning Today's headlines'

'Early this morning, Baluthambi an industrialist was found murdered...'

'...under a bridge near Thirupurankundram highway'

'Past 8 months, 4 businessmen have been murdered in this manner'

'This serial killing has sent panic waves...'

'...amongst industrialists and the general public'

'The police force is taking serious measures...'

'...to find the motive and nab the assailant'

Did you get scared?

Don't be

At 2:00 a.m come to the stone quarry

Near Yanaimalai with Rs 20 million

Are you trying to threaten me?

If you don't turn up, you'll be the 5th corpse under the bridge

Lal sir, this bag contains Rs 20 million

Everyone has started pressing the panic button

Hereafter our treasury will start overflowing

Call every single one of them

Why should I give you money?

I won't

Trying to threaten me?

The matter is a bit serious

They've demanded a sum of Rs 20 million

Balathambi who died now was a friend of mine, sir

So many who seem rich to outsiders are actually starving

Businessmen have loans heavier than their bank accounts

They are dying unable to pay the interest

To tell you the truth...

...when Balathambi was threatened he had no money to pay up, sir

Not knowing this they killed him

His entire family fell at my feet and lamented their hearts out

We must not spare them

Where did they ask you to come?

Is the money intact?

Yes

We got the money

No problem We'll see you soon

There's a van coming all of a sudden?

Vazhi maari vaaraanu nu ninaikiraen@@

It's the police!

Come...come Don't be scared

'In an encounter between the police and a gang blackmailing industrialists...'

'...the ill-famed thug Bhavani's brother Dhina aka Dhinadhayalan'

'...has been shot dead by the police'

'The police are in pursuit of his accomplices who escaped'

Enough, dad My bike may wear out

Son?

You left your phone behind

Throw it, ma

- See you, ma - Okay, dear

Enough, son...go

Don't tease me, pa

'In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'

'For the peaceful repose of the soul of brother Albert...'

'...let us pray to Almighty God, amen'

Sir, full settlement

You'll get a monthly pension

Let me know of any relative

I'll get a job for them in the department

He was our only son

His wedding was to be held next month

This happened all of a sudden

My bloodline has been wiped out

Sir, we don't want this money

We want our son's killer punished

That's enough, sir

Please forgive us

We'll take leave

'Following the gruesome murder of sub inspector Albert...'

'...unable to bear the loss of their son, Albert's parents committed suicide'

'...were found dead in their apartment'

'Bhavani, the main accused in Albert's murder case...'

'...has surrendered voluntarily in the High court today'

'He has been remanded to custody for 15 days'

Durai, call me as soon as you hand him over in the prison

Are you surprised I've surrendered?

I'll be out in 15 days

But every cop should be scared to lay a finger on any of my boys

Say that again

Fear?

For a policeman?

Look there

With just his entry a policeman is making a deep impact there

Won't spare you

Who are you playing with?

I'm from Madurai

The chap who got hit is also from Madurai

Everybody knows you are from Madurai, right up to Malaysia

But why did you hit him?

He snatched a biscuit from that small kid

Biscuit?

You've hit him as if he was a murderer

What is this?

I decently asked and got it from that kid

Both are the same Come along

Dude, when I called you yesterday you sounded weird

Why?

Want to know about that?

That's nothing

Shall I tell you the truth?

My wife hit me yesterday

What are you saying?

I drank a little and went home

But I was steady only

What do you want?

Open the door

Are you drunk?

Yes, you are

I'm telling you I'm not drunk!

Then why ring my doorbell instead of your own?

What?

- Sorry - It's okay

My wife is here

What are you doing there?

Then she is-

She shut the door on my face

What are you doing in the neighbor's house?

Hahn? Searching for my blessed husband

- Get inside - I'm a police constable

People might misunderstand

How could you get that tipsy?

What to do?

Govt wine shops think they are greasing my palm

And indulge me too much

Let me withdraw cash from the ATM

Come soon

"Who is this lovely bunny?"

"What's your name, honey?"

"Who is this beautiful bunny?"

"What's your name, honey?"

"White as snow of a different mold Wisp of a cloud crossing the road"

I need 5000 cash

"Who is this Flopsy bunny?"

"What's your name, honey?"

"In a jungle with bamboos ablaze like a butterfly that has lost its way"

"In a busy thoroughfare, all alone like a child that has lost a balloon"

"Who is this Mopsy bunny?"

"What's your name, sweetie?"

"With your beauty you mesmerized me"

"With your anxiety you blessed me"

"With your gaze so lovely you tattooed me"

"With your eyes flashing panic you made me a lunatic"

"Will I follow you? Will you be my shadow?"

"Before you try to cross I can't kidnap you, lass"

"I can't, alas!"

"Who is this cotton-tail bunny?"

"What's your name, honey?"

Dude, I am here

"With your hand so pretty if you beckon me"

"I will stretch both my hands out to hold you without a doubt"

"If you cross the road, lovely lady"

"I will sail through this birth readily"

"You might forget this incident Till I die will I ever forget?"

"Before you try to cross I can't kidnap you, lass"

"I can't, alas!"

"Who is this beautiful bunny?"

We have to go straight

No, we turn right

You're joining duty only on the first

Why book a room here 15 days in advance?

I want to know all the crimes in our city like the back of my hand

I want to meet all the rowdies

Decided to meet and clean the whole city on the 1st day?

Clean for what joy?

- Come - Then?

Share

I plan to strike a deal with all of them

Thank God

You almost made my stomach somersault

I was scared you would puff up your chest

And give utmost priority to duty

Tell me, broker Not that piece of land

Confirm the 10 cent area next to that land

Yes, sir's planets are aligned most auspiciously from now

Finalize that

Tell me about the city's DRP

D is don, R is rowdy P is punk and crook

Short cut?

'The most important DRP in the city is Bhavani'

'He's all in all'

'He's under remand for 15 days for killing Albert'

'Vettu Rajendran is his right hand man'

'If he's angry, he'll kill anyone'

'His lackey is Maha Prabhu He's a bit of a psycho'

'Teaching them all the tricks of the trade is lawyer Pankaj Lal'

'They call him Lal'

'He grabs Govt land for minister Chinrasu on the sly'

'He finalizes illegal contracts'

'He takes care of all his avaricious needs'

'Today he is very close to the minister'
