Kattalan (കാട്ടാളൻ)

Maari Anna!

We’re from Aanakolli village.

Two months ago,

our village had over a hundred people.

And now only seven or eight remain.

Hey!

If you help us, Maari Anna...

Our Aanakolli will be safe.

From what I’ve heard, Aanakolli has plenty of elephants.

If we hunt down the rogue tusker...

the forest is ours!

Let's go.

The ferocious tusker fell down.

From Kerala and Tamil Nadu...

Maari annan deployed hunters across in Aanakolli.

I’m one of them those who came here.

Forty-five hunters…

along with their families

They’re clever.

Don’t let anyone step outside.

The tusks…

...must end up in our hands.

And the food…

I’ll take care of it.

We hunted elephants in the forest and took their tusks.

Every tusk reaches Maari Anna

'White Gold’

That’s what Maari Anna named those tusks.

The entire shipment was routed through Rameswaram to Jaffna.

Even the police and forest department...

were under Maari annan’s control.

Maari annan became a key figure for the ivory smugglers.

Soon...

Cartel's been taken by the Maari annan...

Ali brother!

That’s impossible!

Don’t stop! Keep moving!

Escaped?

Sorry sir.

I don't like confessions, Velraj.

Did you check the vehicle?

Yes sir.

- Tusks? - Yeah, it's there.

Stanley!

Did anyone see?

No, anna.

No one saw us.

Twenty-five Tusks!

Do you know how many crores that is?

Ali?

Feels like a tip-off,

Nothing like this has ever happened before,

There was no issue at the check post,

The police showed up only after Theni.

Mom...

Leave me.

Dad?

The seized shipment had five A-grade tusks,

I had stashed in Wayanad.

Each one’s worth three and a half crores…

You’re aware of that, Maari Anna.

Maari anna.

I’ve been getting a lot of orders from Nepal.

But you know… I haven’t supplied them yet.

Don’t worry… I won’t betray you.

I trust you.

But if our shipment keep getting seized like this…

Then...

If there’s no solution,

I will have to answer to the higher-ups

I don't have any choice.

A message from Cabral.

The shipments should reach Rameshwaram when I need them.

That’s your job.

If you can’t handle it,

someone else will.

There won’t be any chances given.

Be mindful.

I warned you not to send Eddie that day.

He’s the one playing against us.

The new Tamil Nadu Forest Minister is on his side.

And the SP who seized our shipment yesterday,

Nelson Nadar

Nelson Nadar is his brother-in-law.

That sudden transfer from Idukki to Theni,

...was Eddie's brain behind it.

That name...

Don’t say it here.

This is my cartel.

No one takes a loss.

Before dawn breaks tomorrow...

the next shipment will reach Rameshwaram.

With...

A-grade ivorys.

Johny!

Load all the tusks into the vehicle.

I'll also head to Rameshwaram.

Whoever it is,

we'll deal with them.

Back then, he set out to kill the rogue elephant

and bring the forest under his control...

He's Eddie’s father, Joseph from Idukki.

Right before his eyes...

The rogue tusker killed Joseph with his tusk.

From then on, Eddie began following his father’s wishes.

What's it, Maari?

All good?

For a deceased father,

do you know what a son's prayer is?

Do you know, Maari?

Whatever his father wished for…

...a son must fulfill it.

I’ll make it happen.

This forest...

This cartel...

The tusks you've hidden...

and you along with it.

I’ll finish it.

He’s got a snake’s destiny…

He is not easy to kill.

But the shipment…

Eddie took it.

Brother.

Minister’s here already!

What's it, Eddie?

Did Maari escape?

Forget that.

We have the tusk, right?

Yes

Got a call from Cabral.

Our shipment has reached Jaffna.

The next shipment...

forty tusks.

But...

This shipment is bound for Gujarat.

The vehicle come from there…

we just need to escort it.

Why not use our truck?

No Eddie.

From here to Gujarat,

Risk is too high.

That vehicle has a different chassis and a different body.

The driver’s from Gujarat.

Even if it gets caught, we're safe.

Escort it safely!

Relax Eddie!

The cartel is ours.

The Cabral deal is ours too.

Our shipment…

they’re transporting it to Gujarat.

Nadhu.

So, we need to retrieve the tusks.

from Gujarat.

Yes.

The truck’s coming from Gujarat.

Return to Gujarat.

Driver’s from gujarat too.

Hmm!

There’s a guy, Maari…

One of my best peddlers.

Like a hawk swooping down on a chick…

He’ll snatch that shipment.

The notorious Saint...

Antony!

Brother!

The truck started from Gujarat.

Okay

Hurry!

Ensure the shipment is safe.

Go carefully!

Whether you live or die,

my goods must reach safely.

Got it?

He has already left from here.

Yes, yes, our escort is also with them.

I will inform you as soon as when they reach Mumbai.

Not even a single shipment from AanaAanakolli reaches...

Rameshwaram without passing through Theni.

Antony, they called you here to sneak it past Eddie.

Back then, the ones who brought Maari anna to this Aanakolli…

He killed them by hanging and burned them alive, and ruled this forest.

He even killed Hakeem and Maruthu his own men when they asked for a share.

All Maari anna wants… is the tusks.

He doesn’t care who’s by his side.

To bear Maari annan’s blows and disgrace…

We can’t do this anymore.

This Aanakolli is ours.

I know why Antony is here.

If you’re with us…

We’ll stand with you.

I told you, Antony.

Eddie is the problem.

With the Minister and the new SP,

He’s the one ruining the plans.

I’ll lose the cartel.

I’ve pleaded with Cabral.

One last chance.

Eddie,

I’ve already requested Cabral.

The next shipment is important to us.
