Update for Tues, Aug 2, 2011:
Selvam and Archana see the elevator come down after going to the 3rd floor, and the money is still there. They are puzzled, then they get a call from the guy, saying that he has brought the police with him. Selvam denies this, then the caller tells them that the two guys in one corner and the other two guys in two other corners on that floor are police in mufti. Selvam tries to explain, but the guy says that he is going to send the baby in bits in a parcel to Archu's parents' home. Selvam and Archana head home.
Rani and family at the police station. Rani has pawned all her jewelry to get the cash to free Akash, and the Inspector tells Akash not to take up any job in future without first checking up to see if the job is a genuine one. Rani wants to know what happened to their money, Saroja gets worried, but the Inspector says that he is new and will take two weeks to go into all the old records. She is relieved. She tells Akash that she wanted to give her jewelry also, but Rani said it wasn't necessary and she would do this for her husband. Rani's MIL praises Rani, FIL is silent, and Akash is thoughtful.
Selvam and Archana go to Archu's home, everyone is moping over there, and Priya comes running out, asking what happened to the baby? They go inside, and Selvam asks if there has been any parcel. Priya faints on learning that they didn't get the baby, and they hear a dog barking outside. There is a large parcel there (and what happened to the police who were tailing Selvam earlier? Didn't they see the guy who left the parcel there?). Selvam opens the box, everyone has this worried look on their faces. He takes out some clothes, then some more clothes, then something which looks bloodstained, then more clothes, then gets to the bottom of the box and brings out a - doll! (why make us go through all this nerve racking suspense? Do the director and crew seriously think we enjoy this?)
They go inside and show Priya the doll, and Selvam gets another call - See, this is what happens when you don't do as I say.
Police station - box on table - Archana scolds the Inspector, saying we just want the baby back, you leave us alone. The Inspector says that Dheena has money, but do you have the money? Selvam realizes that it is someone who knows he has money now. Dheena thinks this may be RS's work, his revenge on Dheena.for not producing the proper CD in court, which got Selvam acquitted, and Selvam agrees, he tells the Inspector about RS cheating him out of his property and Reva getting her father to pay back Selvam. The Inspector takes Selvam and Archana to go and question RS.

All my originals are gone with vanished company.. 😕 Rani suggests apply for duplicate.. FIL says it will take time what do we do till such time.. Rani says any job would do and cites example of her darling bro Selvam.. MIL praises Rani for encouraging and guiding all of them in tough times too.. 👏
Police, Selvam and Archu lands in RS home.. Police asks RS to come to station for visaranai of baby kidnap.. RS says I will not do such a cheap act.. Selvam asks why not.. you vowed to not let me peace.. you had a grudge on Dheena too for helping me in the murder case.. SO you revenged both of us by kidnapping the baby.. RS says I challenge my enemies boldly upfront and do not play cheap acts like this.. Archu cries and falls at RS's feet.. RS stand by his words.. Police try to drag RS.. RS calls up AC..

Update for Thurs, Aug 4, 2011:
Rani has changed into her uniform and goes into the Manager's office. She asks about the absence of the others, and is told that they have left early. Next, the Manager tries to attack her, says that her changing into the uniform has been recorded and he is going to put it up on the Internet, Rani tries to run, he chases her, she runs, he chases. In the meantime, Vinodh has come there to meet the manager, the watchman tells him that the manager has left, but just when he goes and sits on his bike, he gets a call from someone. Rani sees him talking on the phone, tries to attract his attention, the manager says she cannot be seen or heard from outside, so she manages to break the window and screams out for Vinodh mama to save her. Vinodh hears his name, comes inside after pushing the watchman out of his way, and sees the Manager attacking her, takes out his belt and gives the guy a good walloping ( now this was something I thoroughly approved of, even though I normally abhor this kind of physical violence), and wants to report him to the police, even though Rani is against it, because her inlaws do not know about her coming here for a job.
Selvam goes to his shed, a customer is leaving, disgusted. Selvam finds out that Nandini sent him away and asked him to come after four days. He scolds Nandini for sending away a customer, and then finds that she has allowed Vasu to come and sit down. He wants Vasu to leave, but Nandini asks him to listen to Vasu, who claims to have come to help Selvam find the baby (I don't believe this liar one bit), because he knows all the thirudans and baby kidnappers in town, thanks to his association with his FIL. Selvam is still reluctant to take Vasu's help, but Nandini urges him to do so.
Vinodh tells Rani that the Inspector, who is a friend of his, has booked the Manager on some other charge. She thanks him and tells him the circumstances leading to her looking for a job. Vinodh tells her about Priya's baby getting kidnapped, and then tells her about a job in his company.
Vasu and Selvam driving around. They go to some apartment complex and go to some guy, whose team kidnaps older people, not babies (kaNNraavi!) and he tells them to go and see some guy called Perambur Ravi. (I am fairly sure Vasu is taking Selvam on a wild goose chase!). Vasu takes Selvam to go and see this new guy.
