Mohan Pothan arrives at a lodge near the Kerala-Karnataka border, looking for the house of a friend named Kuriachan, a high-profile criminal who has gone missing. Appootty takes him by jeep to Kuriachan's remote estate in the Western Ghats, where Pothan tells him that his intention is to procure a rare dog breed that Kuriachan had brought from Malaysia many years ago and to attract the males of which he has brought a female Husky. Kuriachan's Malaysian-origin wife, Mlaathi, lives in the estate with a househelp named Peeyoos. Peeyoos is visited by an unnamed man from Mangaluru claiming to be from the Navy, who says he was involved with Kuriachan but reveals nothing more. He offers Peeyoos a hefty reward for any information about Kuriachan. Mlaathi reveals to Peeyoos that her real name is Soyi. Kuriachan and Mohan Pothan had visited Soyi's house in British Malaya during World War II to study her husband's purebred dogs. After her husband's death in a Japanese attack, Soyi was trapped in her house as her husband's dogs never let her out of the house nor let anyone inside. Kuriachan saved Soyi by killing all the adult dogs, then Kuriachan married her and brought her home with him, along with the few pure-bred puppies who survived. Peeyoos immediately tells this to the man from the Navy, and Appootty reveals that Pothan had died and his dead body had been found, presumably fallen off the cliff, and the Husky seemed to have starved to death.
