Law Minister Thavapunniyam discovers Salim is Code 2223 (Antony) within the secret Indian force and hatches a plan to erase him. He orchestrates a fire that kills Salim's fiancée Diya, the commander's sister, and Salim's friends, severing Salim's ties to his past. This act triggers Salim's presumed death and sets his long concealment in motion.

Salim's commander rescues him, stages his death, and secretly sends him away to a remote village in the Andaman Islands to live a quiet, invisible life. The mission is to keep him alive and out of sight from those who seek to finish him. This marks the beginning of a trauma-filled, silent chapter in his life.

Traumatized by the events, Salim refrains from speaking and develops an intense hatred of rain, signaling his emotional walls. He isolates himself from people and memories of his former life. The rain becomes a recurring symbol of the pain he tries to bury.

In the quiet life, Salim rescues a hurt beagle puppy named Hitler and nurses it back to health. The act rekindles a sense of purpose and care, connecting him to the human world through the dog.

Burma befriends Salim while they work under Daali, the ruthless loan shark. Burma recognizes Salim as the dog rescuer, and Salim returns Burma's unsigned love letter to her, deepening a fragile bond between them. Burma harbors one-sided feelings for Sowmya.

Daali's men attack Burma's hotel and kidnap her to coerce Salim into using Daali's name to escape DSP Surla. The incident becomes a viral scandal, drawing public ridicule of Daali and raising the stakes for Salim and Burma.

Daali orders Burma to publicly slap Surla to instill fear among the police and the public, turning the already tense situation into a blunt display of intimidation. Burma faces a difficult moral choice as the plan unfolds. The act deepens the power struggle between Daali and the authorities and heightens the risk to Salim.

Sowmya files a complaint against Daali at Surla's police station. Meanwhile, her father dies after Daali's men pressure him to repay a loan, and Sowmya's sister is attacked; she confronts Surla at the hospital, accusing him of inaction. She also suspects foul play around her father's scooter and Daali's men, tying personal loss to the case.

Salim kidnaps six Daali men who harmed Burma and Sowmya. He then hangs a henchman and five mannequins from a mall terrace to publicly humiliate Daali and DSP Surla. The act marks a turning point in Salim's counterattack and threatens the fragile peace between the factions.

Salim sends Hitler's photos and the images of the beaten men to Sowmya, bringing her relief and a sense of vindication. The captain suspects 2223 might still be alive, while the chief heads to Andaman to avoid emotional attachments that could jeopardize the mission. The public spectacle surrounding Hitler's rescue and the 2223 mystery intensifies tensions.

Sowmya asks Salim to retrieve her scooter from Daali's place; he succeeds in getting it but does not hand it over yet. He then takes a food-delivery job and parks the scooter at Daali's house, while Burma grows suspicious of his movements. Daali's men keep a close watch on him as tensions rise.

Daali's men track Salim via Burma's shop and locate his watch left as payment for medicine. Salim plans to leave Andaman and confronts Daali's men, escaping with the help of the veterinarian. He later reveals to Sowmya that he attacked Daali's goons, triggering a brutal fight that ends with Daali beating him in front of Sowmya. The chief shoots Salim with a Remington M24 sniper, and the group mourns what seems like Salim's death, while the minister refuses to believe the reports and hints at a potential sequel.
