Jules, now retired, walks into a small eatery. He sees Bruce and his girlfriend eating ghee roast and vada . Jules stares. Bruce freezes. Jules smiles.

Returning to his flat, he sees Vince waiting. Vince, reading a Tamil pulp novel, ignores the bathroom where Bruce hides. Bruce finds a sudha (kitchen knife) and kills Vince as he exits the loo. Bruce drives off with his girlfriend, only to encounter JULES at a traffic signal. Jules, strangely philosophical, lets them go. “Poi vaada. Ini un vazhi, en vazhi.” (Go. Your path is yours now.)

BRUCE (a local kabaddi champion turned underground boxer) takes a bribe to lose a fight. He doesn’t. He wins brutally, killing the opponent. Fleeing, he forgets his antique Mysore pocket watch—hidden by his father in a rather uncomfortable place during the war.

“Dosa nalla irukka?” (Is the dosa good?)
