The big doofus Kartik asks Indu to give the phone to Shanthi. Shanthi thinks Indu is joking but then comes to the phone. Kartik stayed mute for a minute and then tells her that he had been to see Indu's miss (I find it funny that they refer to teachers as miss still - cant they say teacher) and looks like she has been slipping in her studies and 'miss' asked if there were some familial problems. Kartik says he replied in the negative for that and that they should make sure that Indu studies well in future and disconnects. Shanthi has a small smile on her face...real stupid..waiting for crumbs from Kartik..He did not even have the decency to apologize to Shanthi for misjudging her judgement where Shyam was concerned.
KVK's office...Ramakrishnan brings in tea and Marimuthu, one sidekick of KVK tells him they didn't ask for it. KVK says it was nice of Ramakrishnan to get it. He has a thoughtful look. Abhirami calls then and asks him what he has done about sabotaging the great inauguration of RK's new venture the next day. KVK tells her not to worry; after the Govindan debacle, he has to be extra cautious and so has to be involved in this indirectly but he has men in place to do the work and the plan is put in motion. Ramakrishnan is listening, drinking his tea. KVK then tells her that the business venture will not see the light of the day and she better watch out the news and papers the next morning and she would be happy.
They leave and KVK asks Rs.20 be given to Ramakrishnan, who has been thinking that he ought to warn Shanthi about this latest twist. Once their car leaves, he goes to a PCO and calls Shanthi's home. Indu is shown discussing homework with her friend on the phone and Shanthi herself is trying to call someone on her mobile phone. Ramakrishnan is frantic. Shanthi asks Indu to cut her conversation short while a smart-mouthed Indu replies, use your cell phone. Finally, Indu puts the phone down, Shanthi finishes her call and then gets the call from Ramakrishnan. He starts saying, Shanthi madam, aabathu, when a hand closes over his mouth and he is being dragged away, with the phone left dangling. Shanthi is frantic on the other end. She keeps calling out his name and getting no response, calls Arjun..Arjun is driving and he offers to check KVK's office. He finds no one there, calls Shanthi and says everything should be alright since nothing seems to be amiss over there and they would find Ramakrishnan the next day.
Next day morning. People running towards a bridge...Ambulance and police car speeding towards the bridge. All are looking at a body floating face down in the water....(has RK's - ramakrishnan's shirt and pant).....guess KVK finished off Ramakrishnan.
