- After Prabhakar was blackmailed, angry Arvind investigates Umesh's past. Inspector Hassan reviews Thupalli's case findings.
- A bunch of young boys are playing in the river as Thupalli's body floats up.
Arvind's daughter Appu finds out about the fraud by Prabhakar (he had spent Rs 5.8 Crores on pest control at his project "the Last Resort"), when she was going through Arvind's company accounts. Appu was looking at the accounts as her father has forced her to work there. She raises a question to Charles Lucas (Lal), Arvind's bodyguard, but he brushes off her doubts by asking her to stick to inventory, which Arvind had told her to do. She digs deeper anyway.
Kirtima (who is Prabhu's assistant) visits Umesh (Prabhakar) in the hospital. She pecks him on the cheek and talks lovingly signaling that she and Prabhakar had an affair at one point. Kirtima indicates that she wants to restart her affair with Prabhu. Swathi arrives and Kirtima is surprised. She leaves in a haste. Swathi brings her Paya soup for Umesh. Umesh's heart rate shoots up when Hassan arrives. He promptly dumps the soup in the trash as Swathi talks to Hassan. Hassan asks Swathi to talk to Prabhakar for a few minutes, but she protests.
Just then Asha comes with the news of Thupalli's death. Hassan and Asha leave as Arvind, his daughter Appu and Lucas arrive. Arvind wants to know why Umesh was blackmailing Prabhu. He wants revenge against Umesh. Arvind twists Prabhu/Umesh's hand really hard, and Prabhu/Umesh mutters something in his ears. Arvind promptly leaves.
Swathi panics after Umesh tells her that he told Arvind that Umesh knew about Arvind's drugs business and the fact that he was using The Last Resort as a front to launder his illegal money. Umesh calms her down and says that Arvind will never find Umesh. Hassan and Asha visit the riverbed where Thupalli's body floated to. Hassan hallucinates that Thupalli is with him. The time moves two weeks ahead, and Umesh's half burnt face is revealed. He is discharged from the hospital. Umesh has lost his left eye when acid when inside it.
Arvind welcomes Prabhu/Umesh when he returns home. As a surprise, they have arranged Sandy to be at home to welcome his father. Arvind is livid at seeing Prabhu/Umesh's mangled face and vows revenge against Umesh. Arvind is trying to his business to a buyer from Chennai and he doesn't want any media news to scuttle his deal. Arvind and Lucas know that Umesh's real name is Umesh Mahto, and he is from Odisha. He was a good cricket player and was selected for the Ranji team. A ball stuck his eye, and he became cockeyed. He then became addicted to gambling and took many loans. He lost his land to the loan sharks and when he fought them, they charged him with attempted murder. After running from the police, he got a job at the Mainjur hospital under a new name Umesh Pillai. Lucas wants to know why Prabhu/Umesh never told them about the blackmailing.
Hassan investigates Thupalli's death and reports to DSP Udaya Reddy (Rajeev Ravindranathan). It is concluded that Thupalli died by drowning since Hassan has no proof against Umesh. Hassan says that Umesh has no PAN card, Aadhaar card, no identity documents. He worked as a physiotherapist at a hospital from 2001 to 2006, and then as a masseuse at the Gymkhana Club.
Hassan then goes to Thupalli's house to dispose his belongings and finds Robert Frost's poetry book that Thupalli used to read. He finds receipts that Thupalli had taken from Umesh's belongings. Hassan proceeds to continue Thupalli's investigation.
Hassan reaches the gambling den Umesh used to frequent. He plays a few rounds with the den owners (where Hassan learns that Umesh was in debt for Rs 60,000 to the den owner) and leaves in a drunken state. He comes across Thupalli's bike and returns to the gambling den thinking they have something to do with Thupalli's death. In his drunken state, he trips and bangs his head on the floor beams. He falls unconscious.
Umesh and Swathi's son Sandy is concerned about his father. She consoles her son. Umesh overhears Sandy's concerns. As they head to bed, Swathi reassures him that Sandy won't make trouble. Umesh tells Swathi that Prabhakar had lied to Swathi about her restaurant and the resort (The restaurant was supposed to be in the resort and no resort meant no restaurant). Arvind had clearly rejected the idea back then and Swathi is heartbroken. Umesh convinces her that he could join Rising Sun, save some money and take a loan in a few years to open a restaurant for Swathi.
Umesh receives an anonymous email threatening him that the sender knows about Prabhakar's embezzlement of Rs 31,12,60,545. Hassan wakes up and sees Thupalli standing next to him.
