Kambilikkandam Jose (Subair), a drug baron, reaches down to Kochi to meet Pattakkalil Purushothaman Pilla (Vijayaraghavan), demanding a massive hike in his commission.

Abishai calls back Sethu, who is on vacation on a cruise ship in Goa. Sethu, on his arrival back in Kochi, kills Jose, with the help of Balagopal (Ramu), the IG of Police.
