Wait for the inspector.

Hello, ma'am. I need to meet Thangaraj sir.

You'll find him at the hotel.

'Is there a man without worries?'

'Is there a man without worries?'

'Is there a man without worries?'

I served two cups at the station. So totally 12 cups of tea.

Okay. Come get it in the evening.

Don't come when the sub-inspector is around. - Okay, sir.

Sir!

You're Arivazhagan? - Yes, sir.

Here.

Want coffee, or tea? - No, sir. I don't have the habit.

Fine.

You didn't apply for the SI exam? - I will, sir.

Yes, do that. You will make it.

Thank you, sir.

Welcome.

Sir, tender coconut?

No, I'm good. Here.

Give it inside.

Come.

These are the old case files. - Okay, sir.

These are completed cases.

Sit down and read all of it. - Okay, sir.

I'll let you know when someone comes to file a complaint.

Observe the complaint registration process.

Okay, sir.

I'll teach you how to handle crime information.

Follow up with the inspector regarding cases and FIRs.

Okay, sir.

The inspector is not here. Have you met the S.I?

Not yet, sir.. - Sit down and read.

Don't be so anxious to stand.

It's just your first day. They'll never let you stand.

Thangaraj sir? The S.I summoned you.

Sir.

Hello, brother.

How many cases are pending?

I'll get the list, sir.

No need, brother. It's right here.

Look at this list and tell me how many cases are still pending.

Two snatching cases. A few gold chains.

We can clear these.

Okay, brother. Get it done. - Yes, sir.

Change the crime ratio to 98 percent. - Sir!

Kid... - Sir?

Get me the files you were reading.

The ones from this month.

Sir?

Sir, I've got them.

Pull out complaints below 5 - 6 sovereigns of gold.

Okay, sir.

Have you pulled them out? - Yes, sir.

Call them up and summon them. - Okay, sir.

Ask two of them to come now, and the rest in the evening.

Okay, sir.

See if there's a TVS 50. - Okay, sir.

There's a Champ.

No TVS 50? - No, sir.

See if it's whole.

When does your service end, sir?

Why? You want to occupy my seat?

I was just making conversation.

Are you going to give them this vehicle and make them withdraw the complaint?

Yes, indeed. We are lowering the crime rate.

We caught a thief.

He stole from your house as well.

He sold all the jewellery and blew up the cash. Only this was left.

Is this yours? - Take a look, dear.

Sir, this is not mine.

That's what he said too.

Yours was 6 sovereigns, right? - Yes, sir.

This must be about 3 sovereigns?

Take this if you want, and withdraw your complaint.

You can take it home with you right away.

Kid... - Sir?

Draft a complaint withdrawal letter.

Or I will surrender this at the court.

If you tell them it's not yours, you will get nothing.

But that's not my chain... - I'm the one giving it. Take it.

Tell her, don't just sit there gawking.

Or you'll not get anything. Gold prices have shot up.

Just take it!

As long as there won't be trouble.

It will be fine. Take it and leave.

Is it done? - Yes, sir.

Get her signature.

Sign there to withdraw your complaint.

Get his signature as well. - Over here.

You too.

Yes, tell me.

Get home soon. - Okay, okay. Have you signed?

Talk to me when I'm on the line. - You may leave.

Thank you, sir. - Keep it safe.

Get money from the ATM to pay the school fees.

Okay, I will get it.

- Arivu. - Sir?

The missing TVS 50 case? - Yes.

He will come. Get a similar statement from him.

Okay, sir.

He will insist on a TVS50. Make him take the Champ and leave.

Subha! - I'm coming.

Don't keep honking. I'm coming. - Hurry up!

Hop on.

Let's go.

Did you take the lunch? - Oh, no. Give me a moment.

I'll wait up front. You come there.

Why can't you just wait?

What's the hurry?

You said you needed something from the town, didn't you?

I'm going to the court tomorrow. I can get it for you.

Why would you wear that saree when we go out?

I should buy you nicer sarees.

Okay, fine.

I didn't notice you running scared from your wife. Happy?

Just ride.

Don't pluck words from my mouth.

Or you'll become a laughing-stock.

Ugh.

Wow!

Suresh, the coach said we have a match tomorrow. - Mugilan!

Mugilan!

Mugilan, can't you hear me?

Here.

What's for lunch, Ma? - Lemon rice and potatoes.

Fine. Give me money for snacks.

Dear, give him some money.

- Here. - Be careful.

Mugilan, your grandfather is a cop too?

Kid, that is his father.

He is a sub-inspector, you know?

Sorry, aunty.

I'll wait over there.

Why did you bring him? You could have come alone, Ma.

What's your problem? So what if he's here?

Tell them he's your father. What's the big deal?

Get lost, Ma. - Mugilan, wait!

Finish your lunch.

You're deep in thought, huh?

I'm wondering why I ever married such a young woman.

"You need a child to complete the family", they said.

I did object, but nobody listened.

And now I'm stuck. - A bit too late to talk about it now.

Dye your hair and walk around like a young man.

But first, get your wife's permission.

I'm sure she would want you to look young, too.

What's stopping you from looking like a young groom with dark hair?

Yeah, sure. I go to the court everyday.

If I suddenly dye my hair black, the judge would ask me,

"Thangaraj, are you getting ready for your third marriage, then?"

Serves me right for having a child past my prime.

Hello, sir.

Let it be.

Will that do, sir?

Damned murderers dispose their knives in the river.

I waste so much money buying knives.

Let's go? The magistrate is here.

Likely to be an adjournment.

Not again! - Fine, let's go. Hurry.

Greetings, sir.

Madam...

We've included the police union committee documents now, madam.

Who is here on behalf of the opposition?

Varadan sir, tell me.

There have been quite a few adjournments.

Will anybody come from your end, or not?

We need time, madam. We are overloaded with work.

Could you please set another date?

Your people don't give in easily when it comes to the matter of unionising.

As if everything will be fixed once there are unions.

Madam, for our political system to function efficiently...

...the virtue of the leader is paramount.

We can't pick a minor loophole in law and criticise the whole institution, right?

Union is a basic need.

It is a necessity.

Administrative problems go away with personnel change, madam.

Even IPS officers have their own union.

It is unfair to delay approval for our union, madam.

Am I the one delaying it?

September 22nd.

Varadan sir, submit a statement for missing this hearing.

Okay, madam.

Next case!

D3 42/19.

You're really brave, sir.

You are actually fighting a case for police union.

The very term "police union" is new to me.

I've been fighting for it from 1979.

This case has been in hearing only for a while now.

They've ensured that dissent doesn't even cross our minds.

You try asking for an union.

As long as I'm alive, I will fight.

Come.

Sir, the judgement copy.

Sir!

Hey...

Come here.

Get the union case file.
