Epitafios (2004) s01e04 Episode Script

EPITAPHS
It took a week
to develop the pictures?
We have no budget.
- And Renzo?
- He'll be here any minute.
If you'd like to nibble
on something, feel free.
Is something going on?
Your dad wanted to see
the photos they gave me today.
Anything interesting?
Your bullet entered the stomach
and got lodged in the liver.
In the liver?
Based on what you told me
that seems kind of hard.
What are you talking about?
Let's go to the warehouse.
Listen to me Renzo.
Listen to
I'm putting my neck
on the line by coming here.
If Renzo is thinking
the same thing I'm thinking,
Martin,
could you stand behind
the steel siding
where the killer was,
please?
He could have been crouching.
Oh really? Try it.
He's alive.
Goddamn son of a bitch.
Settle down, Martin,
settle down.
Use that anger
to your advantage,
not against it.
You're getting to know him.
Now you know you should
never trust anything.
Nothing is what it appears
to be with him.
- Forget about it.
- I'll do it.
- Drop him off at home.
What you mean,
"Drop him off at home?"
Am I some kind of package?
Fine, drop me off at home.
Why doesn't it change color?
Do I look like I'd know,
retard?
How would I know?
- Having trouble?
- It's not changing color.
And why do you think
that is?
Maybe we didn't measure
the potassium salts very well.
Maybe.
- What are you doing?
- Class is over, sir.
But not the experiment.
The day is over, sir.
Do you have
your binder handy?
Open up to the first page.
Can you read it?
"Curiosity leads
to experimentation,
and experimentation leads
to results:,
poor are those
who lack curiosity."
And aren't curious
to find out
if your hypothesis about
potassium is true, Ferrari?
Yes, but I have an appointment.
The appointment can wait,
answers cannot.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm not here to ask you
for anything, I'm not crazy.
I came to tell you
that he's alive.
What do you mean he's alive?
What about Mujica?
He got involved and got killed
just like Galvez.
The most important thing
is to take care of your son.
We're still in danger.
that the case is not closed.
Alive?
That's right.
So basically our cadaver
is not Mujica.
- Yes, it is Mujica.
- It is Mujica.
But Mujica is not the one
who killed the model
at the warehouse.
They compared Mujica's blood
to the samples we took.
We'll get the results
back tomorrow,
but I'm positive
it's not the same blood.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
There's a third man involved.
At least a third man
involved in this case.
Renzo was able to wound him--
he got away.
He made it to Mujica's--
made him patch him up,
and then he killed him.
It's late.
He did the same thing
to Galvez.
He used him as a decoy
to gain time.
Don't you see,
this isn't over.
You have to believe me.
You were with Renzo.
He's filling your head
with all this madness.
Set your fucking pride aside
for one second
and listen to what I'm saying.
I don't know what your beef is
with Renzo,
but this time he's right.
My problem
is that Renzo
is absolutely insane.
And I don't want him
near me
or this squad.
Is that clear?
Will you be staying
much longer, professor?
Just a little longer.
There are still two students
in the lab.
- I'll let security know then.
- I appreciate it.
Did you finish?
Ferrari!
I'm warning you--
you can be expelled for this.
They don't know
who they're messing with.
Come out now,
or you'll be expelled.
Why don't you get some sleep?
Because I can't stop thinking
about that son of a bitch.
Getting obsessed like this
is useless.
I've never seen anyone catch
a killer from inside a bathroom.
You should rest.
You can't think straight
if you're worn out.
If you're not thinking clearly
you'll never catch him.
Why don't you leave me alone?
She loves to watch.
But
she hates the screaming.
I will be curious, professor.
Aren't you curious
to know why you're here?
You're here to quench
my thirst for curiosity.
I've asked myself many times--
so many times, professor
what would have happened
five years ago,
if you hadn't made
those four students
that Penalver killed,
stay after school finishing
a senseless experiment?
Have you ever
asked yourself that?
The answer is always the same:
nothing.
He wouldn't have found anybody.
Do you remember?
One more question.
How much weight exactly
precisely,
would be needed, professor,
to pull off your big toe
using a pulley?
You don't know?
Me neither.
Let's do something.
If you want,
we'll do the experiment
together.
Would you like to?
That's great.
WElGH
Easy, professor,
take it easy.
If my calculations
are correct,
this little one
will be the last.
Curiosity leads
to experimentation,
and experimentation
leads to results:,
poor are those
who lack curiosity.
You know something?
I am a curious man.
Rest.
Rest, because the experiment
isn't over yet.
Hello.
Yes, Clara?
Do you have something for me?
Where are you?
I'll be right there.
Look who showed up.
Don't tell me you missed me,
because I'll go crazy.
I've been looking for you
for a couple of days.
Are you interrogating me,
my taxi driver?
Did I switch pimps
and no one told me?
Did you bring that?
You're using too much.
They're lasting you
less and less.
I'm sorry, but my mother
died years ago.
It's the doctor again.
It's the doctor again.
She used me to get something
and she ruined my life.
Are you happy, Clara?
I'm very happy.
Now,
did she ruin your life
or did she show it to you?
Enough, get out.
Renzo, you never had a life
worth envying.
Okay, get out.
Let's go.
Goodbye, handsome.
Ready.
Dad's coming.
Let's see.
Wait, wait.
Go ahead.
Hey, slugger.
I brushed my teeth
without mom telling me.
That deserves a treat.
Come kiss your mom.
We can talk
on our way to school.
- Hop in.
- Behave well.
You're still seeing him,
aren't you?
What, do you think I didn't
understand your message?
You didn't answer me.
I don't want to lose Nico.
You're a liar.
- Come on, Dad.
- Be right there, Nico.
You'll regret it
so badly, bitch.
Ready, slugger?
Bye, baby.
- Hi, doctor.
- Hi, Manuel.
- How are you?
- Fine. And you?
Fine.
- Am I too early?
- No, not at all.
Come on in.
Do you want some tea?
Tea? Hmm
Yes, if it's not
too much trouble.
No trouble at all.
- Martin.
- What are you doing here?
You've come at a bad time.
Do you want some advice?
Get lost.
Save your advice
for your grandmother.
Imagine, doctor,
my surprise
when I discovered
that I had turned into
a cockroach.
What did you say?
You're not listening to me.
- It's not true.
- You're not listening to me.
You're not listening to me.
Forgive me.
It's true,
I don't feel very well..
How about we make up the session
sometime this week?
That's fine if you promise
to be better.
I promise I'll do
everything in my power.
Okay? Well
Could l
Could I call you
before coming in?
- Yes, of course.
- Are you sure?
I'm sure.
I'll see you next time.
I'll wait for your call.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
HERE LIES HE
WHO MADE CURIOSITY AN OBSESSION
At this time,
our news van is on it's way
to the intersection of Laguna
and Barone,
where the first reports
were heard
regarding a few delinquents
inside a supermarket
taking hostages after
a robbery attempt failed.
What's going on?
Do I need to kill an Asian
for you to take me seriously?
Take it easy, Rulo,
take it easy.
I'm asking you for something
in exchange for the car.
Release the pregnant woman.
What's happening?
I want the car, asshole!
I'm working on it,
but that's not up to me.
I have to get approval.
Screw approval.
I want the car
in five minutes. Got it?
What's wrong with you,
did you forget that I quit?
I'm out.
Don't you remember why?
- Did it slip your mind?
- No I didn't forget.
I think it's a chance
to make up for mistakes.
That has no remedy, detective.
Four kids died because of me.
And those who are alive,
those whose deaths
you can still avoid?
Martin.
Are you trying
to ruin my life?
I almost got fired
for helping you.
Martin, what are you
waiting for?
The judge wants
to talk to you.
Tell him I'm on my way.
I have a rough day.
- I can help.
- When I'm finished we'll talk.
I can help you now,
Martin, please.
What do you suggest?
They're nervous and have nothing
to losedangerous combination.
And if they find out
that Roldan is one of ours
this will end up
in a massacre.
We have four minutes.
We have to give them something
if we want to buy time.
Something?
If they're only asking
for a car
What do you want
to give them?
We've got to figure out
a way in.
If you go in,
we'll lose a hostage.
- What is this guy doing here?
- I think he can help us.
- He has an idea.
- Leave, will you?
Wait.
I'd like to hear
what he has to say.
- It's surrounded by cops.
- What do we do?
What should we do?
You
You.
How many hostages are there?
Three: the two owners
and one of ours.
Look at me.
If they don't call in
two minutes I will kill you.
We'll show them
that we mean business.
It's nothing personal.
We've got to go in now.
They're going to kill Roldan.
What do you think?
- We have to give them the car.
- That's crazy.
That depends on who's driving.
What are you talking about?
A taxi cab
and a cab driver.
Dispatch, target in sight,
request permission to fire.
Copy, Condor,
wait for instructions.
Green light, Condor,
green light.
Dispatch, I lost him.
Target moved.
Rulo, we'll send you a taxi,
will that work?
That will work.
But if I smell a pig,
it all goes to hell.
They're sending us a taxi.
It's an intense environment.
According to outside sources,
the miscreants are holding
three people hostage.
An Asian couple,
owners of the store,
and a regular shopper.
We've just got breaking news.
According to an informant,
the person we see on screen--
Attention--
It might be the cab driver
recruited by the police
as part of the negotiations,
to allow for the hostages
to be set free.
It's a tense situation and
there is no official word yet.
Renzo, you're not going
to risk your life
so frivolously are you?
What we can see
is a heavy police presence.
The entire block
is surrounded by the police
and they're working from inside
the homes of neighbors
and surrounding businesses.
The owner,
according to neighbors,
is said to be 6-months
pregnant.
- I'll be close by.
- Okay.
Don't let anything happen
to the hostages.
Do you have a better idea?
Hello, Marcos,
is Renzo here?
Come in.
I need to give him
this envelope.
Do you know where he is?
Right there.
We're reporting live
from your station.
Okay, it's okay.
- The photo.
- It's okay. It's fine.
Get going. Get going!
The taxi is leaving with the
thieves and two of the hostages.
What are you waiting for,
let's go.
Let him get farther away.
Give me a cigarette.
We're too far.
If those guys go crazy
They have no reason
to go crazy.
We gave them
what they wanted, right?
Now they're in charge
of the situation.
Careful, don't lose them.
What an idiot, Renzo!
What an idiot.
Make that turn.
Make that turn.
Shut up! Shut up!
I won't let them kill you,
Renzo.
- Hurry up!
- Settle down.
Hurry up,
you son of a bitch!
Get out.
Get out, please.
- Hello.
- Any updates?
The hostages are safe,
Both criminals are dead.
Okay, tell Renzo
to get over here.
I think you're back
on the force.
Hello.
Oh, you made me suffer,
Renzo.
You're so reckless.
But I'm still happy
that I could save you
from being killed like a dog.
I won't let anyone else
take that joy away from me.
At least not before it's time.
I wouldn't be so happy
if I were you.
When I get my hands on you,
you're dead you son of a bitch.
All bark and no bite.
I suggest you stop blabbering
and you start acting,
because this is getting too easy
and I'm getting bored.
Laura Santino?
No, Santini.
What is it?
I'm here to install
the cameras.
What camera?
I didn't order any camera.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
This is the address
they gave me.
Excuse me.
- Hello?
- Did they install it?
- No.
- Have them do it then.
What for?
Have them do it now.
The three of us are going
to share some things:,
Renzo, you, and l.
And this will be
the best way to do it, Laura.
I don't understand.
I know, Laura, I know.
It's not important.
I expect both of you
in front of the computer
at 7::00.
HERE LIES HE
WHO MADE CURIOSITY AN OBSESSION
He's a damn show-off.
He should be.
Six dead,
and what do we have?
Nothing.
The man did a good job
no errors.
- How's that?
I almost killed him
at the warehouse.
He slipped up, he got nervous--
he'll slip up again.
- We have to be more alert.
- More alert?
Yeah, the guy was there
the whole time.
That fucker called me when it
ended, did you see anything?
Did you see the car
he was driving?
- No.
- That's what I mean.
We have to be more alert.
The son of a bitch could be
20 feet away, pal.
And what do we do about this?
What do I know?
It just arrived.
Nothing comes to mind
at first glance.
- Hello.
- Come over, please.
He wants us
to meet up at 7::00.
Who?
The killer.
We're online.
What now?
Supposedly he'll initiate
the conversation.
He'll be able to see us
through this camera,
and we'll be able
to see him through his.
Maybe they could trace him.
Yeah, but that could take us
six or seven months.
That's a long time.
Oh my God.
The show hasn't started
you don't need to act yet.
I'm not acting, Renzo.
Do you think I'm stupid?
I've already seen this movie,
I don't want to see it again.
No, Renzo, no.
You don't treat a woman
like that when you love her.
I can't believe you're
putting this show together
- just to talk about love.
- Actually
I put this show together
to talk to you about hate.
Laura
can you do me a favor
before we continue?
Slowly turn the camera.
I'd like to see
the entire office.
Slowly, please.
Just like that.
Good.
Perfect.
Good job, Laura.
Thanks.
Now we're going to talk about
what's really worrying me.
Yes, of course.
I'd like nothing more
than to do you a favor.
Do you mind if I smoke?
No, I love that you smoke,
Renzo.
What bothers me is that
you don't take me seriously.
That's a problem, Renzo.
No, you're wrong.
Silence.
His name is Lasky
he's a chemistry teacher.
Lasky is my fifth victim.
Hello.
Lasky
Lasky is in love with
experiments.
Relax, Laura.
Please, don't be impressed.
I took his picture
when he was still in one piece.
That's great,
you must be very proud.
Excellent,
kill some poor old man.
What a feat.
Wrong, wrong,
wrong again, Renzo.
Lasky
is still
alive.
You're a sick
son of a bitch.
What?
Sick?
You're wrong, Renzo.
I'm merely a curious man.
Right, professor?
Professor?
I'm sorry.
I forgot he no longer has
a tongue.
Laura, please,
I'd like you to sit down
and watch my show.
They don't understand,
professor.
Once something begins
there is no stopping.
An experiment
must never ever
remain inconclusive.
Right, professor?
Professor?
Now
Now
Now
the experiment is over.
Let's see the results.
Perfect.
My theory was correct.
The loss of 4 liters of blood
results in
death.
I truly hope
that you've enjoyed this.
And furthermore--
No, Renzo
You'll have to do
much more than that
to escape the hell
I have prepared for you.
