However, on the way, they get in trouble with the Malaysian police and to rescue Venba, Thiru agrees to steal some shields for the law from Ling's (Linga) house, a dreaded criminal and second hand for Chang, a Malaysian don. However, he gets caught by Ling and, in a bid to escape, jumps off a cliff while spitting at Ling. Ling swears revenge.
Thiru and Super engage in a cat-and-mouse chase with Ling's henchmen. Meanwhile, because Thiru does not arrive on time, Venba tries to escape but is caught and sent to Ling, which is revealed to Thiru by the police officer. He shows that the reason behind stealing the shields was to gather evidence against Ling. Thiru kills Chang and blows up Ling's house, infuriating Ling further. Finally, Thiru rescues all the girls from the skin trade, kills Ling, and returns to his home with Venba.
