KOLANGAL
Tiruvengadam's wife and daughter in law are discussing their problems, and the waywardness of their husbands. Tiruvengadam and son arrive. Wife asks why he is battered like this. Son keeps quiet. She screams at him that he is going to drag their family down to the gutter. She says he has ruined his own daughter's life by marrying her off to a so called rich family, whose sone turned out to be a scoundrel. He wanted to prevent his son Satish from marrying this nice girl, and it was only by my (wife's) intervention that the marriage took place, thank goodness. What is going to happen? Tiruvengaddam protests. Meanwhile, the police arrive, carryign a complaint about his Andhra doings.

SELVI
James tells Selvi the man who kidnapped Karthan (kept under a bridge) and Andavan (in the middle of the sea) was a formidable man called Pandian. She says she wants to meet him. JAmes says he will arrange it.
Karthan is sleeping in the car. GJ gets down. It is the same bridge. Karthan wakes, and the place seems familiar. He realizes shortly where he is. He tells GJ, where have you brought me? This is where they had me tied, this is where I escaped from. GJ tells him, fool, it was I who asked them to kidnap you. Karthan tries to overpower GJ and run away, but one of Pandian's men beats Karthan over the head (with a foam contraption -- not a very believable prop) and after a couple of hits, be falls to the ground to be dragged off (even as the serial drags on).
GJ meets with Pasupathi, who works with Pandian, it turns out. Pasupathi is cool to GJ, who has just paid him for his efforts.

PENN
Anjali concludes her story:
After Jamuna left to meet Akash, who promised to give her some evidence implicating Manohar and Ravindran, I sat by Revathy. She said she hadn't gone to school for several days, and needed a letter to her teacher. I shut the outer door and went off to write the letter. When I returned, Revathy was missing. Looking around in fear and bewilderment, I discovered Ravindran holding her in the backyard, a pad of chloroform to her mouth. He was saying crude things about her and the baby she was carrying him. Manohar showed up, and as I fought them, then next thing I knew, they had chloroformed me. Ravindran and Manohare took me and Revathy to the sea on a boat, far into the waters, and dumped both Revathy and me, uncoscious, into the water. I had recovered 'conscious' even as they were dropping me, and managed to wash ashore, where a group of fisherfolk found me and kept me with them for 3 months. When I recovered consciousness, the first thing I asked was about Revathy. They didn't know. I went to Tanjavur, and didn't find anyone. Dr. Easvaran had left. Ravindran had left. Manohar had left. Manohar's father had disappeared. I went to Chennai, and the same thing. It was then that I decided to commit suicide, when you found me.
She continues (to Ranga):
YOu gave me the confidence to live. Then, I saw Manohar at the hospital when we rushed that girl from the factory. Then, I made inquiries and found he had moved to Chennai. I decided to track Manohar, Ravindran and Akash down and kill them. Iwas told Akash had abandoned his studies half-way and gone to America. Jamuna's neighbors said they had not seen her for three months (dating from the time she went to see Akash that day, the same day Revathy and I were taken away). This would be my only purpose in life hereafter. I began harrassing Manohar and turning him into a delusional madman. I want to track the other two and kill them all.
Ranga is getting emotional hearing all this, her mind full of Akash. Yes, Yes. You must kill them, she screams.
