July 5, 2006 - Wednesday updt
ACD pauses for a moment before answering to a reporter's question that with Govindan's death, is the divya murder case closed? ACD says, no, it is very much open..and goes in.
Inside the mortuary, Govindan's wife with son is lamenting about his death and tells ACD that here her husband was, coming in to surrender when those padupaavis finished him. ACD is all choked up looking at them and pats the boy's head.
He then instructs another policeman to stay and finish the formalities.
round table conference: The police commissioner calls ACD and gives him left and right for bungling the operation. He tells him that ACD is known as the encounter-man and it would have been better if the ACD himself had killed Govindan in an encounter. but they have let a gang do the job. and what does this speak of police efficiency? and there is some spy internal who spilled the beans abt the secret operation. ACD doesn't have any answers to that and hangs his head down in shame.
Arjun and Shanthi come in a car towards ACD office and both wonder why they have been asked to come. Once there, ACD asks them if they had told/discussed abt nabbing Govindan to anyone. He accuses Arjun of letting the secret out since he was in possession of the tape. Arjun tells him that apart from Shanthi, he has not even discussed the matter even with his wife and had handed the tape to the police even then. Shanthi also says she knew the importance of this sting and so, kept mum. They are let go.
Abhi is worried and KVK comes talks to her that all is fine now that Govindan is dead and she has to shell out some more money. Abhi is real upset abt that.
ACD enquires the 3 police inspectors who;were within the perimeter to nab Govindan the other day in mufti. He asks them if they talked about this to any others outside and all 3 answer in the negative. He then asks how else did this matter get to the ears of the evil gang? he then asks what do they think abt the JC and all are shocked.
ACD keeps pummelling at a sandbag, his mind going back to when the AC accused him of botching up the operation..he keeps wondering who could the mole be.
In a remote beach location, they show a shoe clad feet making progress towards KVK and his big boss. Anandam's director's concept of boss-big boss happens to be, the bigger the boss, bigger is going to be his kurta...and figure.
This pair of feet belongs to none other than JC's car driver and he is praised for his valiant efforts in giving them the news abt Govindan's location and is rewarded with a briefcase full of cash..and a koodai full of era, karuvaadu and the likes for feast. Big Kurta also tells him that drinks will be supplied to his house - door delivery in the evening..he also promises him that other such small jobs will be sent along the driver's way to earn more money. Driver assures that no one can find his role in all these matters and walks away..I thought his karuvaadu was going to explode but no such thing happened.
JC's house: painters are outside painting the house and JC is supervising. it seems to be a moderate house; his driver comes (walks) and invites JC for his house's grahapravesam...JC congratulates him and tells him that frankly, he cannot come to Kanyakumari where the house is being built..(what is with this kanyakumari business? the promoter sent abhirami there and even in the previous nithyanandam's 'varam', the heroine came from kanyakumari...)and if and when he comes there for job reasons, he will surely stop by. ACD comes there and JC introduces the driver. The driver sheepishly says he meant to come personally to ACD's office to invite him, but now that he is here, and hands him an invite. ACD thanks him and the driver leaves. ACD wonders that he is building his own house.
One of the painters comes near the JC and says he is out of paint and other supplies and gives him a list. JC asks how much it would cost and when he hears Rs.4000, he says the house is just rented one and he is just sprucing it up to keep it good and so spending so much is not viable; hands him 3000 and asks him to do what comes for that. ACD observes this and goes inside with JC. The sit down and JC asks how far is the investigation in finding out who leaked Govindan matter. ACD says he has enquired all but one...and looks pointedly at JC.
