2. Catalyst and Plot Point

Manager (sitting on a couch and sipping coffee): Apram, vela eppadi poguthu?

Samy(sitting opposite to manager): Team romba buysa work panraanga, Mahesh.

Manger: (chuckles) team athu ithunnu...comedy pannatheenga Samy. codeIt head office la work illatha clientku ethukku oru leadum oru senior developerum nu kekaranga. (he puts his coffee mug back on table). Pakkathu oorula irukara D'baker client projectku ungala maatha solli order vanthu irukku.

Samy: ayyayo.. Mahesh antha Dubaakur banka?

Manager: Dubakoor illa, D'baker Bank.

Samy: Antha project manager pathi enakku theriyum..Avan kitta evanum vela seiyya mudiyathu, Mahesh.

Manager: Mela irunthu romba pressure ya.

Samy looks up.

Manager: Leadership level ya.

Samy: stammers and says...inga neraya issues irukku Mahesh. Engal Sevai inga thevai.

Manager: Namma portal la irukara issue trackerla client oru issuevum raise pannaliye. Nee ethuvum offline la track panni vechu irukiya?

Samy: Irukku Mahesh. Samy places a 15 TB hard drive.

Manager(on seeing the 15 TB terabyte turns into a serious mode and pulls out his laptop and plugs this in): 15 Terabyta... Avlo issuesa?

Samy (blinks)

We show manager's laptop screen. There is a folder called 'Issues'. We show manager moving his mouse and clicking.

In that there are 5 folders -> 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023.

Manager (looks at Samy): Nalla thaan ya organize panni vechu irukka.

He continues to open 2023. Under 2023 -> he notices 'Super critical' ->(clicks) -> 'critical' ->(clicks)->'top priority'. ->(clicks)->'urgent'

Manager gives a heavy sigh and he finally reaches a notepad file 'Issue list .txt

He then clicks open and the manager looks at Samy: Ore oru issue. athuvum 5 minutesku munna thaan create panni irukka. Maththa folder layachum ethaachum irukka?

Samy again blinks and manager goes on to click 2018 and 2019.

Manager: (reads out few 2018 and 2019 movie titles) 15 Terabyte fulla movies thaan vechu irukka. Namma codeIt Issue Tracker la... oru issue kooda client raise pannala. Onnu ungalukku issueve vararthu illa. Illa neenga propera clienta issue raise panna solrathu illa. Ithula ethu correct?

Samy thinks (mind voice): Ethu sonnalum pidipaane. Issue illannu sonna, immediatea kelamba solliruvan. Konjam time vaangu Samy.

Samy: Client thaan propera issue systemla raise panrathu illa.

Manager: Athukku thaana nee irukka. Avangala educate panna vendama? Clienta namma issue tracker la, issue raise panna sollu. Naan oru one week kalichu check pannuven. Issues iruntha.... neengalum irukkalam. Illana pack panni readya irunga. Dubakoor Bank thaan..chi D'Baker Bank thaan.

Samy looks baffled.

Aravind plays shooter game with intern.

intern: Aravind sir, naan onnu kekkatuma?

Aravind: sollu

intern: Namma client, city traffic lightsa control panra software company thaana. Ithula enna prachana vara pothu? Ithula naama enna panrathukku irukku? Nejamave ungalukku work ethuvum varuma?

Aravind turns to talk to intern but notices Samy walking sad with his head down into a meeting room.

Aravind: Nee vilayadu. naan vanthudraen.

Aravind walks into the meeting room. Turns on the light to find Samy sitting on the floor and leaning his head against the wall.

Aravind: Samy enna aachu. en ippadi idinchu poi irukeenga.

Samy gradually turns his head to look at Aravind. Then takes out his phone, plays a video.

Aravind comes closer to look at the phone.

                Video:

    a selfie video by Suresh as he walks in a dark lit room.

"En peru Suresh. codeIT company employee" speaks with heavy breath. "Naan D'Baker bank projectla work panren. Inga engala romba koduma padutharaanga. Engala adachchu vechu vela vangaranga. Soru thanni saaptu naalu naal aachu....enakku ethaachum aachunna athukku karanam enga manager Sadagopan thaan" his voice abruptly stops and his face and eyes widen as if someone strangling his neck.

voice over: night rendu manikku work pannama ennada inga vlog pottutu irukka. Suresh is pulled back and away from the camera.

video footage disturbed as the selfie phone is apparently dropped. then stabilizes to show Suresh lying on the floor and trying to reach the phone. Someone drags from behind and Suresh disappears from the frame.

Aravind looks stunned at this.

Aravind: Avan kashtapadratha paathu feel panreenga parunga...neenga really great, Samy.

Samy: Ethaachum sollira poren. Antha teamku thaan nammalayum maatharanga. Intha maathiri thaan neeyum naanum video poda porom.

Aravind: Antha teamukka?... Naama enna pannomam?

Samy: Atha thaan Mahesh kekararu? enna pannomnu. Oru issue kooda illatha projectla ethukku irukeengannu.

Aravind: Athukaga.. Dubakoor Bankuku anuppuvara (Aravind's voice raises). (after a pause in a low tone) Intha prachanaikku ethuvum prayachitham illaya Samy?

Samy: Prachana thaan Prayachithame!

Aravind: appadinna?

Samy: Issues ... Namma clientku issue iruntha thaan naama inga irukka mudiyumam.

Aravind: Samy, Sathiyam pannunga.

Samy: Samy Sathiyama appadi thaan sonnaru(Samy puts one hand over the other). clientku issues irunthaa thaan naama inga irukka mudiyumam.

Aravind: Ada athu illa Samy. Naama enna panniyaachum ingaye irunthuranum. Sathyam pannunga (Aravind extends his hand).

Samy holds his hand to get up from the floor.

Aravind: Sathyam panna kai kuduthen.

Samy: Oh (Samy puts his hand on Aravind's).

Intern walks into the room: Enna vittutu neenga mattum thaniya vilayadareengala...(she places her hand on top and says) Saa ...boo ..3

As the intern says 'saa boo 3', Aravind and Samy nod at each other and play along.

Camera focuses on top of hands moving up in air after three is voiced and fades out.
