Opening scene: Shanti tells Anita that she knows that Manisha is Rocky's mother and asks why and how he ended up in the orphanage and how did Anitha end up taking him there? Anitha gives a modified version of the truth, saying that she met Manisha in the bus, heard the story and agreed to help her because M didn't want to go to the orphanage and leave the baby there herself, and says that the father doesn't know about the baby's existence and had to marry someone else due to changed circumstances. She claims to have no knowledge of the reason behind the Arjun-Karthik animosity. Shanthi is moved. This is where Roja would have come in with some of her witticisms. Unfortunately for all of you, I have none.
Scene 2: Narendran goes to Abirami and tells her that she underestimated his power, he knows that Kanakku's kid is in the orphanage, and that kid will one day cost SKPD his life. He tells her that the kid needs to be finished off.
Scene 3: Abirami calls Daddy on the cell phone (wonderful phone service here) and tells him that Narendran is giving her trouble. She explains the problem and SKPD says that it will be eventually good for the child (to be killed by Narendran) and she can be reunited with her dead mother, and Abirami is horrified (at least, I hope so!). She tells SKPD that they are talking about a child, and SKPD says that if that is what she wants, he will take care of Narendran accordingly.
Scene 4: AP is seen connecting the three names: ACD's killer, Narendran, SKPD and he tells his assistants that ACS and Narendran are involved. I missed some of the conversation here, but I think he tells them to question Narendran and follow him closely.
Scene 5: Shanthi is thinking about Manisha, Charu's conversation about M, Anitha's info, etc., and Karthik walks in. She tells him all that she has gathered so far, and he starts off by saying that he has never seen this Manisha and she can't be a nice girl if she had a child out of wedlock. Shanthi defends M and explains how M's lover did not know about the child and was forced to marry someone else, and so on. Karthik says that there are many unanswered questions here. Shanthi leaves, and he is thinking that he too has a past, thinks about Manisha himself and the two of them together. FREEZE.
