Falcon (2012) s01e02 Episode Script

Carlos Jimenez was terrified of what
was on that film
That's what killed him.
Fears inevitable.
I fight the bull.
You fight the murderer with a gun.
That's what we do.
What do you want me
to do about Consuelo Jimenez?
She isn't the sole
focus of the investigation.
She's at the heart of it.
Only she wins.
My father believed these paintings
to be his moment of genius.
Your father, myself and Carlos
Jimenez - we were pretty close.
Is there anything else
I should know about my father?
Why do they have to die?
Those that love to love
because they have the gift
of perfect sight.
I'm looking for Eloisa Gomez.
Eloisa's in love. She's gone.
She's found herself a talker.
He's going to give her the moon
and the stars!
Your story is my story.
We're the same.
The paintings are
Imitations of the Falcon Nudes,
as is the position of the body.
Any idea what it might mean? Well.
He's saying he killed her because
she'd seen him. It's bullshit.
Falcon?
Maybe. Or maybe perfect sight is
a reference to Eloisa seeing
the darker side of people,
the secret side.
I think he chose to use
her for that reason.
And the paintings?
A distraction aimed at me.
Thought up by who, I wonder.
The murder of Carlos Jimenez is
all about revenge - the past.
Arturo. Yes.
Why now? Why like this? We have to
concentrate on Consuelo Jimenez.
She had everything to gain
and nothing to lose,
except a husband we know she hated.
So she hires a killer -
and she unleashes a madman. Why not?
I have to say,
I am more persuaded by the present.
You seem to have dismissed Consuelo
Jimenez
without any real consideration.
She is a suspect until eliminated -
that hasn't changed.
Then eliminate her.
The killer's an obsessive -
the sight lessons are important.
He's trying to alter the way we see
things, and we have to do the same.
Implicate or eliminate her.
Very well.
Falcon?
Do you and I need to talk about
other matters?
No.
I don't think that's necessary.
You're happy?
Perfectly.
Good.
Good.
Ramon.
Javier. A long night?
Did you know?
He's painted her as a whore, Ramon.
Did you know?
I may have suspected. Why?
And he put this on display?
What kind of a sick joke is that?
He wasn't himself.
How can the man who created
something as pure
as the Falcon Nudes, take the same
woman and produce shit like this?
Javier, your father was a passionate
man, a complex man!
This isn't fucking passion, Ramon,
it's hatred!
Why?
I want you to tell me
what you know.
He thought she was sleeping
with another man.
Whether this is true or not,
I don't know.
Francisco believed it to be true.
The orphanage was closed
three years ago.
The building was no longer
fit for purpose.
Staying there at the time aged
15 was Eloisa Maria Gomez.
It was her home.
When we first found Eloisa,
when she ran away
Yes?
He was there in the apartment.
She ran to save him.
How do you know?
She loved him.
But all I saw was the prostitute,
not the lost girl in love.
These ones I know -
some of their names escape me.
These ones? No idea.
No-one looks like they could be
Carlos's long lost son.
Maybe Arturo looks like his mother.
More coffee?
Were you never curious
about what happened to her?
What would be the point?
She dominated your husband's life.
She was the reason
your marriage was a sham.
Carlos was the reason
why my marriage was a sham.
You must have despised him.
How did you feel about your husband
planning to sell the restaurants?
Betrayed.
I would have burned them down before
I would have let that happen.
He knew that. Senora?
How did you meet?
Through a friend - Ramon Salgado.
I used to work in one
of his galleries.
He would have known of Carlos's
first wife and of your likeness.
Is he still your friend?
Yes.
Even though he didn't warn you?
Even though he hid a truth?
Maybe it was supposed to be
a secret. We all have them.
Enjoy your coffee
while it's still hot.
Salgado, it's Falcon. Call me
when you get this message.
They are just
the faces of middle aged men.
Arturo was five years of age.
If he's back, he may have been
curious about you, watched you.
Are any of these faces familiar?
No.
I'd like to show them
to your sister.
She's in the art therapy class. She
likes to paint, loves to paint.
A few months ago
we arranged a trip to Madrid,
to the National Gallery,
for Marta and a few others.
She was rather taken
with your father's work.
Who arranges these trips?
The Clinic?
We make the arrangements,
but the cost of the trip and the art
therapy is met by a benefactor,
a local art dealer, Ramon Salgado.
That's Marta over there.
She's with her art therapist, Julio.
Marta?
This is Javier Falcon.
Hello, Marta.
Sorry.
Is it always the two figures?
Yes, always.
It's her private cupboard.
It's alright.
Is this you?
And is this?
Arturo.
He's happy.
Yes. He's happy.
You have painted him very well.
With love.
Yes. With love.
Thank you, Marta.
He's in my cupboard.
May I have a look?
It's alright. Not far to go.
This is Marta Jimenez,
and Marta has something very
important she wants to show us -
something very precious.
What am I looking at?
I haven't seen it myself.
I think
it's the Jimenez family.
Carlos, his first wife,
Jose
..Marta
..and the youngest boy,
Arturo - the lost son.
Fuck!
I've got a video of my wife
in Lourdes, with my daughter,
praying for a fucking miracle.
Shall I bring that in?
Carlos Jimenez could not bear to
watch the images on that film.
He couldn't watch himself playing
with the son he abandoned.
He would rather have died than
be reminded of it.
The film is sight lesson
number one.
The killer had to have
access to Marta.
Judge Calderon.
Who's this?
It's Consuelo Jimenez's lover
Basilio Sanchez.
The photograph is from the security
camera at Carlos Jimenez's
apartment block. The date is the
morning of the murder.
Two hours after Eloisa Gomez
left the building.
When he was supposed to
be at Consuelo's. Correct.
Why isn't Falcon standing
where you're standing?
Well, he plans to tell you first
thing tomorrow.
But I'm concerned she still hasn't
been interrogated. Questioned.
Me? I'd interrogate
the stuck-up bitch.
At the moment we need to give Falcon
the benefit of the doubt -
it's his investigation.
I have to go.
Ramirez
..thank you, for keeping me
informed, for making me aware.
So Mama had a lover? So what?
Good for her.
It's the last bit of fun
she had before she died.
Do you remember them
arguing, fighting?
Mama and Papa? Yeah.
Of course. Why of course?
Because that's what I remember
the shouting. Really?
You remember it too.
No. No, I don't.
You mean you don't want to.
His name was Tariq.
Mama's lover.
You must remember him.
You must. No.
He adored you. He adored us all
..including Mama.
I remember thinking that
I preferred Tariq to Papa.
Not that I'm fucked up at all.
Here he is. Ladies and gentlemen -
Rafa Falcon!
Could I grab you for a moment?
Senor Falcon? For you.
Who gave you this? A man? Who? No
idea. Just a man.
23rd October 1973.
Salgado came to me today.
Salgado! It's Javier Falcon!
Good evening.
Suddenly you can't stay away.
Do you always wear a suit?
Yes.
Possibly.
They make me look respectable.
And you're not?
Aren't you going to pour me a drink?
Whiskey
..no ice.
Are you still working?
Yes.
And drinking.
Our secret.
I'm looking for Ramon Salgado.
He was here for lunch.
How well do you know him?
Haven't we been here before?
Everything is beginning to collide
but not connect.
Your husband, my father,
Ramon Salgado, Arturo, Eloisa
..you.
Is your lover still your lover?
No.
Why's that?
I was going to leave
in five minutes.
I'll come with you.
I'd like that.
Are you sure you want to
sleep with a suspect?
Only this one.
Leaving without saying goodbye?
No, I hadn't gotten to that.
I don't do have to leave.
You're a good man, Javier Falcon.
Consuelo Jimenez and her lover.
I spoke to Basilio Sanchez,
he's an irrelevance.
A murdering irrelevance by any
chance?
Did you ask him
why he was at the Jimenez apartment
when he should have
been in the Senora's bed?
Please tell me we are at least
taking this seriously.
Yes.
And I'd like Inspector Ramirez
to oversee that
aspect of the investigation.
Really. You're sure?
More than ever I'm convinced
the truth lies in the past.
Not Consuelo Jimenez?
Who gave her lover a fake alibi?
What's going on?
Are you fucking her or what?
No.
Tragic suicide of young wife.
Maria Salgado found hanged.
Salgado questioned in regard to the
disappearance of a 15-year-old boy.
Salgado praises local artist, Tariq
Chefchaouni, killed in studio fire.
Family claim the fire started
deliberately.
Tariq
..my mother's lover.
I'm worried about Salgado.
He's losing his nerve.
(PHONE RINGS)
Salgado.
Ramon, it's Javier Falcon.
Javier, I apologise,
I've been out of town
and not returning your messages.
I've been sent several pages from
what
I believe to be my father's diary.
Ramon, he writes about you.
Javier..
I'm frightened.
After what
happened to Carlos, I'm terrified.
What do you know about the death
of my mother's lover?
This all began three decades ago.
Your father helped me,
I helped your father, we both helped
Carlos.
One of us shouldshould just have
said no! Enough!
What did you and Francisco do,
Ramon?
We had an oath.
I tried to make amends.
I tried to make it right.
I'm sorry, Javier.
I don't understand how this has
happened, but II seem
I seem to have brought
hell into our lives. Forgive me.
Forgive me.
(DIAL TONE)
Javier? Ramon?
What are you doing?
Ramon?
Argh.
Please. Have mercy, please.
Have mercy on me, please.
No. I'm a good man.
I've been trying.
No. Please! No!
Argh!
Ramon. My darling, Ramon.
I simply wanted to say how much
I love you,
and thank you for making me the
happiest woman in all the world.
And on this, your special day -
I'd like to sing for you -
for you my beautiful Ramon.
(WOMAN SINGS)
Ramon!
Ramon!
Ramon!
No, Ramon! NO!
Ramon! NO!
Ramon!
When did you receive these?
Yesterday.
Pages from my father's journals.
Diaries I never knew existed.
The killer's got your father's
journals?
Yes. He stole them
from my father's studio.
These pages describe how
Ramon Salgado killed a boy,
some years ago, in Morocco.
A boy he was using for sex. I'd guess
there have been other abuses.
Do you still think it's Arturo?
No.
But it's definitely someone
with history from Tangiers.
OK, because wenow know it
wasn't Consuelo's lover.
He left her bed to go
and see his other girlfriend.
A med student. Lucky fucker.
We'll make a detective of you yet.
Our killer sees himself as a victim
of Carlos Jimenez, Ramon Salgado
and Francisco Falcon.
A cabal of three -
they helped erase each others sins.
And your father's sin is what?
I don't know.
But the killer chose to show Carlos
and Ramon,
not just their sins,
but what they lost -
Carlos, his first family
and Ramon, his wife.
And he has his own story to tell,
hopefully before somebody
else has to die.
And who might that someone be?
Your father's gone.
Possibly my father's son
..a Falcon.
What is my father's sin?
Tariq.
Tariq Chefchaouni painted the nudes.
It's your gorgeous aunt.
I've come to wish you luck.
Rafa, it's Javier and Manuela.
Hey, you made it.
Of course we made it.
I didn't want you to see me
like this.
It's fine. It's normal.
Let's hope so.
Thank you for the flowers
and the photograph.
It made me smile.
When did you take that?
When you weren't looking.
Is it safe to embrace now?
I think so.
Ramirez.
It's Falcon.
I think my nephew's a target.
I want you at the bullring now with
as many bodies as you can muster.
He'll be there.
OK. Christina,
he's in trouble. Let's go.
(CROWD CHEER)
(SIREN BLARES)
OK. We're looking for the
unusual, the unexpected.
We are looking for a needle in a
fucking haystack.
You take the lower tier to the side.
You two go upstairs.
We'll take section four.
I'm going to the north side.
Nothing here at the moment.
(BULL SNORTS)
Rafa!
Chief?
Anything I can do?
The Post-mortem on Ramon Salgado
found the killer's
blood in his teeth.
The old boy put up a fight.
We'll be finished at his house
within the hour.
My condolences.
How's your hand?
Old men bite - didn't you know?
I guessed you'd come looking
for it.
The moon and the stars?
You found it?
You stole it.
I want it back.
It's not yours to take back,
you stole it.
It belonged to my mother.
Your mother was a fucking whore,
and my family suffered for years
because of it! I want it back.
Along with everything else you've
taken from my family -
I want it all back.
Is that a rant or a sight lesson?
(THUD)
So you knew I'd come back.
Well done.
Where is it?
Evidence.
I too have evidence.
You are sitting
here in place of Francisco Falcon.
Carlos Jimenez sat where you're
sitting.
Ramon Salgado and now you.
I pity you. Don't.
Your whole life is a lie.
And yet you're the one that's
fucking deranged.
So your father
was my mother's lover?
He must have loved her dearly,
to give her the moon and the stars.
How's your eyesight?
Perfect.
Who painted the Falcon nudes?
Who painted the Falcon nudes?
Tariq painted my mother.
Tariq Chefchaouni.
Francisco calls those
paintings exquisite.
He says that only a man who truly
loves his subject could be
capable of such exceptional work.
The famous Falcon knew it was
painted by a nobody -
stolen by a national hero.
They killed him.
They shared in each others kills
and conspired to keep their wealth,
their reputations, their secrets
no matter what the cost.
They killed my father
and stole his work
not because your mother was
a whorebecause of you, Javier.
Read it.
"I killed him
"not because he was fucking my wife,
"not because she loved him
"I killed him because my son"
Go on.
"I killed him
because my son, was not my son."
That's not true.
Francisco wrote it.
I'm not making it up!
My father died
because of you, Javier.
You were Francisco's most precious
creation, only you were not.
Just like the nudes, you were
created by my father.
Tariq!
We're brothers, you and I.
I lost everything,
while you thrived on a lie.
What?
You don't like it?
Why not?
What could be so repulsive
about milk with almonds?
You're the homicide detective.
If I were to put
..a little cyanide into this
glass
..would anybody notice?
Would you notice?
Would a five year old boy notice?
..as he carried a warm glass oh
so carefully to his mother,
not wanting to spill a drop, wanting
her to receive all of its goodness.
See what he made you do?
Papa.
You were his bullet,
his five year old assassin.
You are a Falcon who is not
a Falcon.
A policeman who is a killer,
a guardian, who let the last true
Falcon die in a bullring.
You have a choice.
Like Carlos,
like Ramon, you have a choice.
You can drink the milk
and leave all of this behind.
Or
..you can take the gun and shoot me
dead.
An intruder, a madman,
and the past remains undiscovered.
Only you will know the truth,
and the world can continue to adore
the great Francisco Falcon.
It's up to you, Javier.
What kind of world do you
want to live in?
Go on
squeeze the trigger.
I forgive you brother.
Do it.
To me, he will always be Papa.
You'll face what you're
responsible for
..and I'll face what
I am responsible for
..and that is not
the sins of Francisco Falcon.
Men tell me things
they wouldn't tell anyone else.
Homicide.
I wouldn't be here
if I wasn't ready.
Fuck off, Dad. He's alive at least.
That's something.
Do you know where your nephew
might be found?
Simon is lost to us.
I told you not to talk to me.
It's not your case. It's mine.
