Freedom at Midnight (സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം അര്‍ദ്ധരാത്രിയില്‍)

Damn! We're late, Jacob.

GOD IS WITH YOU

Sir, they're asking what's the case. I don't think they will let her out.

Would the elders let her out if we explain the sections in law?

Move.

Sisters, there's nothing more to say here.

Please bring the girl you're hiding out.

Whatever I have to ask, I'll ask her.

The sub-inspector is on his deathbed now

because of what she and her boyfriend did earlier tonight.

Sir, for Christ's sake, please try and understand.

This happened when he tried to hurt Betty, and Jacob interfered.

Mother.

I don't need your approval.

And that Jacob...

Do you know what he's been up to in Kottayam after trying to kill

the superintendent of police?

No, right? Now, he's absconding.

Bloody hell.

We need to get him at all cost.

And that's why we're taking her along with us.

So, should we go in or...

Did he call you, kid?

No.

Where is he now?

I don't know.

Take her.

Mother.

-Mother, ask them to leave me alone. -Come here.

-Let me go. -Come.

-Mother, ask them to let me go! -Walk.

Ask them not to take me!

-Stop crying and get in. -Let me go.

-What a trouble at this hour. -I'm not coming.

Mother, please.

Mother, ask them not to take me away.

Hit it.

Why are these boys fighting here?

-What a nuisance. -They're drunk, sir.

Damn. Come with me.

Sir, they're not drunk. They must be high on weed.

Neither of those. They must be high on a costlier drug.

-Hey, move! -Move!

-Move away from the road. -I said move!

-Who are these guys? -I didn't see them earlier, sir.

-Don't just stand there. Arrest them. -They might have weapons, sir.

-Hey! -Move your bike away from the road.

-Hey! -I said move your bike!

-Looks like they'll kill each other. -Push them away.

Can't you hear us? Move!

I said move the bike!

-Jacob? -Betty, get out!

Let me go!

-Move! -I won't!

Let me go!

Come on. Let's go!

Come on!

MYSORE

As funeral pyres burn on empty roads

Faltered steps will write our destiny

The burning sun will depart

Darkness will spread even during the day

As funeral pyres burn on empty roads

Faltered steps will write our destiny

The burning sun will depart

Darkness will spread even during the day

In this never ending night

We're on a journey Searching for new shores

While we search for dreams With wings, far away

As shadows hide the paths with pain

Did a red ember shine?

Did the heart burn?

Will this story continue?

As funeral pyres burn on empty roads

Faltered steps will write our destiny

The burning sun will depart

Darkness will spread even during the day

I think someone is following us.

No, relax. There's nothing for you to worry about.

Will you come searching For the footsteps of time

Even if they are far away

Is the golden bird singing?

Did you see a tree of flowers That gives shade on the shore?

The eyes stand guard as shining lamps

The breeze disappears somewhere, in pain

Will this story continue?

-What is it, man? -What's happening, Jacob?

Are you cuddling with your wife there?

Tell me what's up. We are scared to death here.

Why are you scared? Murugan is my guy.

Besides, I have paid him the money he asked.

Go meet him tomorrow. We'll discuss the rest in Melbourne.

Hey, we'll get the passports tomorrow, right?

You'll get the passports.

They just need two days to get the Visas stamped.

-Okay, man. - Don't worry.

-I'll call you. -Everything is all right.

What happened?

We'll get the passports tomorrow.

-Jacob. -Yes?

Here.

Charlie called me. Both passports are okay, so don't worry.

-Cigarette? -No.

So, there won't be any problem at the airport, right?

-Are you wanted by the police? -Not yet.

There should be no problem then. Just be ready.

I'll call you when the Visas are stamped.

Mangalore to Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka to Australia.

-Have a blast with Charlie there. -Thank you.

-One cup of tea. Do you want some? -No, thanks.

Betty, wait at the church. I'll be there.

-See you, man. -Okay, Jacob.

My dear, Lord.

I'll go to Kottayam and tell a thousand people

about your miracles.

Sir, should we catch him right away?

I'm also tempted to do that.

But we need to get Charlie and his wife as well.

Then we will go back to Kottayam.

Now, drive.

Betty, they've arrived here from Kottayam.

What do we do now, Jacob?

Don't worry.

There won't be any problem. You believe me, right?

Go to the convent. Don't leave the place at all cost.

I'll come and call you once everything is ready.

What about you?

I'll hide as well. It's just a matter of a few days.

-Charlie, can you hear me? -Yes.

I've called Murugan. The passports and Visas are ready. Go and get it.

Charlie, there's a problem.

What is it?

The police officers from Kottayam are here.

They've spotted us.

Jacob, whatever happens, don't get caught by them.

Otherwise, you're done for!

Do one thing. Send Betty to collect the passports and Visas.

You'll be safe if you don't step out.

Okay, man.

I'll get the passports from Murugan tomorrow.

-I'll call you after that. Bye. -Okay.

Don't spare anyone! Get them all!

Are you celebrating Valentine's day?

Let's see how this ends for you guys.

Hey!

Don't come here.

Go!

Go back!

It's dangerous out here.

Run! Run now!

Run!

Run!

Hey, stop right there!

-Hit them! -What are you people doing?

Hey, what are you doing? Come here!

Hurry!

-Hey, no. -Just leave her alone!

-Stop! -Stop right there!

She has lost a lot of blood.

-Why did she faint? What happened to her? -Gosh.

There's no couch in our hospital's van. Got it?

Hey, ma'am, this is fine. Just sign this. I have other work to do.

Hey, get up. Move a little, please.

-See, ma'am. -Please adjust your clothes.

-Why are you here? Go to your bed. -I won't.

-Where am I? -Syringe.

-Where is Jacob? -I need to inject you.

-I don't want an injection. -What do you mean?

-I have to inject you. -Where's Jacob?

-Get away! -Hold her.

Leave me alone! I'm not crazy. Leave me. Where's Jacob?

I don't understand what you're saying. Leave me alone!

Don't touch me! Where is Jacob?

I have to go!

-Where's Jacob? -It's okay.

Drag her here.

Leave me alone!

-Hold him. -Hey.

Do you remember what you did in Kottayam two months ago, bastard?

Ram this bastard with the jeep! Come on!

Come here!

KOTTAYAM

they stole 35 million rupees from the finance company they worked for.

When the police arrested them, they injured a few people

including women constables and managed to escape.

Tea, sir.

What kind of tea is this?

Do you want tea, Appachan?

Hey.

Don't be sad thinking that you're alone.

We'll nab those two buddies of yours from Mysore.

And then, we're going to accept Appachan's deal.

How's that?
