The episode opens on a rainy evening at the Cochin International Airport’s prepaid auto stand. Saji, a 15-year veteran of the trade, gets a long-distance trip to Fort Kochi. His passenger is a mysterious, elderly woman carrying an old brass lamp. During the 45-minute drive, filtered through heavy traffic and flooding, the woman reveals she is returning home after 30 years abroad. She doesn't use app-based services because she "trusts the old autos."
This interaction triggers a flashback for Saji—his father, also an auto driver, was killed in a hit-and-run by a private bus in 2005. The episode cleverly cuts between the present journey and the past trauma, using the rhythmic sound of the auto meter as a storytelling device.
Midway, Tony (the antagonist) orchestrates a roadblock: a group of young men posing as passengers falsely accuse Saji of overcharging. The confrontation escalates into a public brawl. Episode 3 is where Saji, who has been portrayed as docile and law-abiding until now, finally fights back—not with words, but with a steel rod hidden under his driver's seat.
The climax of the episode is brutal and silent. Saji does not kill anyone, but he breaks the windshield of Tony’s brand-new electric auto and whispers, "Oru jeevitham koodi kootara koottathil ninnu rakshikkuka" (Save one more life from the scrapyard). The episode ends with the elderly woman placing the brass lamp on her dilapidated doorstep, revealing a family photo where Saji’s father stands beside her—her long-lost son. Title Ideas (Malayalam):
The Cold Open The episode opens at the busy Thrissur Auto Stand. Babu (the protagonist) is seen polishing his beloved green Bajaj auto, affectionately named "Surabhi." His main rival, Kuriachan, is mocking Babu for refusing to join his new "Union of Overchargers." Babu ignores him, preferring to stick to the meter, which earns him the respect of the local pedestrians but less money in the short term.
The Inciting Incident Just as the morning rush begins, a distressed college student, Meera, jumps into Babu’s auto. She is late for her entrance exam at a center across town. The main roads are gridlocked due to a politician’s convoy. She begs Babu to get her there in 20 minutes—a trip that usually takes 40.
The Rising Action Babu agrees to take "The Shortcut"—a narrow, winding path through the paddy fields and old housing colonies that only a local expert knows. The episode becomes a high-stakes chase sequence, but instead of high-speed highways, it’s a hilarious navigational challenge. Babu has to dodge stray cows, negotiate with a stubborn housewife blocking the lane with drying laundry, and navigate a small bridge under construction.
Meanwhile, Kuriachan and his cronies try to block the main road exits to force customers to take their autos at inflated rates. They realize Babu has slipped through the cracks of their blockade. Description Template:
The Climax The route leads to a dead end caused by a minor flood in the lane. The clock is ticking (5 minutes left). Babu uses his wits and local connections, flagging down a friend on a motorbike who happens to be passing by. Babu lifts Meera onto the bike, while he follows closely with the auto to pick her up on the other side of the flooded lane. They reach the exam hall with one minute to spare.
The Falling Action Meera thanks Babu profusely, handing him an extra tip, which he refuses, asking only for the meter fare and her prayers. Babu returns to the stand to find Kuriachan arguing with the police about the illegal blockade.
The Cliffhanger Later that evening, Babu finds a note tucked under his seat wiper. It’s an anonymous threat warning him to stop undercutting the "Union" or face consequences. Babu crumbles the paper, tosses it in a bin, and starts his engine, looking defiant.
This episode is crucial for the supporting cast.
