High Heat (2022) s01e05 Episode Script

Should we take our last summer dive?
- Okay, you go.
- [all laugh]
Great! See you!
[Román] When did we
last have fun like this?
Almost two years ago.
Since Ricardo is studying
and working as well, it gets difficult.
We need to make good use of time.
Just imagine when we have kids.
We could take them here.
Yes, right?
Hey, I didn't find a film roll
but I found beer.
- Even more?
- Nice.
Come on, it's enough.
Calm down, I'll be the driver.
A beer, Flor?
- Okay.
- Román?
Thanks.
So we'll only have
one picture of this day?
Yes, so we should protect it.
You must protect what's yours.
Should we get in the water?
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
I'll wait for you here.
There's a person too many here.
And it's not me.
A NETFLIX SERIES
[grunts, groans]
[grunts]
[groans]
[panting]
[groans]
[panting]
Are you okay?
No.
Calm down, calm down.
[Poncho] Can I help you, sir?
I have met you before.
Me?
Right. You're the kid I saw when
I broke my mug in the hotel.
Come on. Lean on me.
You need to eat something.
Where are we?
We're in McAllen, in a bar.
Calm down.
Feeling better already?
Yes, I'm better now. Thanks.
You're not from around here.
What brings you to McAllen?
I'm investigating an old case.
About a murderer
people called the Reynosa Butcher.
Why?
He's the one who killed my mother.
[scoffs]
Some people say
there are no coincidences.
I am Fabián Gold's husband.
The American victim?
He was in prison for 25 years in the US.
Why there?
Because one of his victims was American.
I'm the reason why that idiot
went to prison here, in the US.
What was your mom's name?
I'd rather not talk about that.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you.
No, it's just that my brother and I
grew up in an orphanage.
I never really wanted to find out
my biological parents' names.
That's it.
Why are you so sure your mom
was a victim of the Reynosa Butcher?
Because my brother was a journalist,
and he left me a video explaining it all.
Do you have it in your phone?
Can I see it?
Yes. Yes, I guess so.
[Daniel] I would have preferred
to think I was wrong,
but no, I was right.
My biological mom
was killed by the Reynosa Butcher.
My life and my brother's
are linked to that murderer.
That son of a bitch doesn't know it,
but he ruined our lives forever.
Sorry, it's just
Life is really ironic, right?
I've spent years hiding,
trying to forget what happened,
trying to start anew,
trying to not think all the time
about the Reynosa Butcher, but always
because of newspapers,
my dreams or memories,
he always comes back.
And now, you come up,
reminding me of Ricardo Urzúa.
Are you sure he's the killer?
The police thinks that
Ricardo Urzúa is the killer.
He was my friend.
I know him better than anyone else.
Kelly!
[in English] Check please.
Come with me.
I'll teach you
who the Reynosa Butcher really is
and who Ricardo Urzúa is.
Ricardo always had two sides.
On the outside, he was a nice, brave guy
who worked hard.
He was a firefighter, right?
[man] Exactly.
He wanted to be a firefighter
since he was a kid.
As soon as he was old enough,
he joined the force.
But he had a dark side.
I feel partially responsible, because
if I had said something,
none of this would have happened.
He was violent and aggressive.
Keep going, Ricardo!
[man] Once, I even saw him
torture animals.
- Really?
- Yes, he buried them alive.
He was a psychopath.
He even burned his own house.
Fasten your seat belt.
This way.
Ricardo Urzúa fooled everyone.
He fooled his wife,
his lawyer,
and his superiors in the fire station.
That guy was a total scam.
This way.
This is the place.
In one of these barrels,
my wife was found dead.
They found others like these
in Mexico as well.
It seems to have been his signature.
The Reynosa Butcher's signature.
Why are you telling me all this?
So you don't have any doubts.
Only a soulless son of a bitch
is capable of something like this.
Making people disappear and
putting them in barrels.
It's very likely
that your mom was also found
in a barrel like this.
It was all Ricardo Urzúa's doing.
Never forget that.
If you tell me you feel
like someone's been following you
it's very likely it's Ricardo himself,
waiting for us outside.
Can you leave me alone for a second?
Yes, sure.
Have you picked a name already
for my grandson?
We haven't decided yet. Right, honey?
There are so many lovely names,
it's hard to decide.
You could call him Ramón,
like his grandpa. It's a manly name,
a strong one.
Not like you're impartial. Right, Dad?
Well, all I'm missing
is for Gerardo to marry Mayte,
- and my job as a mother will be done.
- Okay, but
they don't need to marry.
They're young. They can live together.
No. In this family, we get married.
That living together thing is
just an excuse not to commit.
Yes. Besides, where will he find
a woman like Mayte?
The way she looks at him,
you can tell she's so in love with him.
Right?
Go for it, Gerardo.
There's nothing like starting a family.
- Besides, Ramón will need a playmate.
- Yes.
Ramón?
- Did you say Ramón?
- Ramón?
It was a surprise.
Thanks, son.
Aw, sweetie! Congratulations!
Thanks.
I'm home.
You have a visitor.
- For me?
- Yes, dude.
- Where?
- There.
Tell me your secret later.
Girls are crazy about you, dude.
Idiot.
What are you looking for?
I've felt the same way you do
but I promise there's a way out.
Have you also done 1000 push-ups
in three minutes?
I have sometimes thought too
that life makes no sense.
Are you high?
I saw you.
I saw you hurting yourself.
With a knife.
You're high. Great.
You should ask for help,
I mean it. If you
You should ask for help.
Spying people is a crime.
And also,
get a life, Patricia.
My name's Penélope.
Hey! Excuse me.
Are you the fire station's therapist?
Yes, that's me. I'm Ana.
Julián's not okay.
Ask him about the scars on his legs.
I'm worried that he'll do something worse.
Are you his girlfriend?
No, I'm just worried about him.
But please don't tell him I told you.
Please.
Olivia?
Olivia?
Olivia?
Hey, hey! Have you seen my partner?
She's got short hair and light eyes.
Have you seen her?
Is there no security
in this hotel or what?
Olivia. What's wrong with you?
What? I'm here to make a call.
I couldn't get reception
in the room.
You should let me know.
You're so upset!
Where were you all night?
This place is worse than I thought.
We need to finish our job here
and leave fast.
We'll finish what we started,
but let's do it together.
No, I won't put you in danger.
Stay here or lock yourself in the room.
I'll take care of this.
No, no. I'm with you on this.
No, Olivia. It's really dangerous.
Poncho
I'm with you on this, until the end.
Whether you like it or not.
Okay.
But don't do this to me again, okay?
[cab driver] To the station. Right, sir?
Yes, that's correct. Thanks.
How was your journey?
It was complicated. Very complicated.
I guess you know about your boyfriend.
First, knock before you enter.
Second, I don't have a boyfriend.
Julián is not okay.
Well, I think he's pretty fine.
Rosario, please. I'm being serious.
So am I.
He might be a brute, but he's
in my top five of best lovers.
Then start worrying about him,
because he has serious issues.
Anything else, Penélope?
If anything happens to Julián,
it's your fault. You're not good for him.
He needs help.
Stop insisting. I told you,
Dr. Betty's never here before 11 o'clock.
But I'm sure you know
about Ricardo Urzúa's case,
the Reynosa Butcher.
I need that information.
[in English] I'm sorry.
I'm not authorized
to provide info about the cases.
Well, I just need to know
about his children.
What their names are,
or where I can find them.
Miss, do you remember one Daniel Quiroga?
A journalist.
He was here a few months ago.
Miss.
Miss, please listen to me.
I know you shouldn't talk with me,
but any detail about that conversation
would help a lot.
Really.
This is a life and death situation.
I'm gonna ask you to leave.
Yes, we're leaving.
Okay, but we'll be back.
[car door closes]
Let's go.
You could have given it to her.
All kids like receiving gifts.
Especially from their mom.
I guess I didn't want a scandal.
I'm a coward.
No, you're not.
[Mayte sings] Oh, Carmelina ♪
I think you come from the sea ♪
You're like a soft breeze
Which embraces ♪
My sadness ♪
Sweetie, you sing like an angel!
Did you really like it?
Thanks, Miss Gloria, but the people
from the Bellas Artes are very demanding.
I need you to tell me where I can improve.
Get a modern haircut.
Everyone has their own style.
But if your style doesn't work,
find another.
That's it.
Tell me everything, don't be shy.
I'd choose a more exciting song.
One that starts slow and builds up,
so, during the chorus, the song gets wild,
and the professors feel like standing up
and start dancing on the streets.
Do what I do in my auditions.
Look them in the eye,
and make them think they're in control.
But, deep down, you're the one in control.
That's important, visual contact.
And smile, always smile.
A smile will help you more
than any song you choose.
I don't know if I can do it.
See? You made her feel insecure.
It's just that I have a good voice,
but that's it.
I should better stop singing
and just start a family with Gerardo.
It's what I'm most excited about.
If I can't get into the Bellas Artes,
then I'll just marry him.
No.
The world needs to know your talent.
I'll help you.
Together, we'll have the best audition
in the history of the Bellas Artes.
[in English] So, this is the Mexican who
wants to talk about the Carnicero?
- Yes.
- Okay, thank you.
English?
[in Spanish] Spanish?
Spanish.
Sit down, please.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot for seeing us.
It's very important for us
to talk about the Butcher.
Ricardo Urzúa works with us in Mexico,
and, well,
let's just say he's not trustworthy.
That's why you came here?
Just because
you don't trust your colleague?
All I want
is for everyone back home to be safe.
That man couldn't kill an insect.
Then why was he sentenced
to 25 years in prison?
Do you really know
what you're getting into?
Maybe, if you could tell us.
Okay
I always thought there was
someone powerful behind this case.
Let's just say that someone wanted
Ricardo Urzúa to look guilty.
It's not just that.
I think there was more than one killer.
It was a team.
If your psychopath is already in jail,
but out there
crimes are still being committed,
what do you think happened?
Are you telling us
there's more than one Butcher?
Hey, you know what? Stop here.
- Let me out here, so I can say hi.
- Of course, sir.
- Is here okay?
- It's perfect.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
- You're very kind.
- See you.
Hi, Gloria.
Were you on a trip?
Yes, a quick trip.
Did you have an emergency?
I had a debt to settle with the most
important person in my life.
I brought flowers to my wife.
[giggles]
IN MEMORY OF FLOR LUJÁN ROCHA
[Ricardo] Yesterday was her birthday.
She's buried in Reynosa.
I couldn't even attend her funeral.
I didn't know her grave either.
I owed Flor that.
It's great that you could do that.
You closed one chapter,
and now you can live
without the shadow of death over you.
Death is a shadow that follows me, Gloria.
I need to get used to it.
I knew I could cure your sadness.
[chuckles]
This sadness never leaves me.
You looked quite happy a moment ago.
- Two times happy. Three times even.
- [both laugh]
You take advantage
because you know we're the best in bed.
We could be the best outside of bed too.
Just because you cheated once,
doesn't mean you'll do it again.
It was more than once.
It was many times.
I just need to commit with someone,
and I'll want to screw everyone.
That won't happen with me.
It would happen with you
and with anyone else.
I'm the one who's broken.
I don't see a broken woman,
just one who won't settle for any guy.
I'm a woman who can't see her daughter
because his dad convinced her
that her mom is a slut.
That's why Laura doesn't want
to know anything about me now.
Find a woman whose life
is less complicated.
You'll end up hating me.
Let me be the one to decide that.
- That's actually not the problem.
- Then?
I'm just saying
this station has no leadership.
And what can we do?
Help me with my plan.
And what's your plan?
I'll answer that with another question.
Where is our boss?
Where is he? Do you see him?
- No.
- No, I
No, our new captain's not here.
He's not here.
That's called abandoning your duties.
As firefighters, we can't accept that.
I have a plan.
I talked to the Fire Chief Office.
We just need
to gather enough signatures for
No, don't worry.
Keep eating.
I changed the coils
from a couple of trucks.
Since you weren't here
Very well, then.
I don't know if it's too personal,
but can you tell me where you went
and why you didn't tell me?
I don't need to tell you.
When I need to be absent,
I'll ask the Fire Chief Office.
If you need to know more,
you can call me on my phone.
Well, I need to know more.
I'm the second in command, right?
Very well, as second in command,
your duty is to make a report
about this station's financial status.
I need to know
where we're spending the money.
Listen, I
I need it as soon as possible.
I feel our public budget
is not being used appropriately.
And that
is a grave thing.
[Olivia clears throat]
[Poncho] I told you we'd come back.
We really need to talk to Betty.
She doesn't return my calls. Is she here?
No, and I'm worried as well.
She hasn't picked any of my calls today.
This isn't normal.
I need to send a package now.
I can't help you.
It's okay. We'll wait in the hall.
Yes.
You should highlight your eyes
or your mouth.
Never both.
What are you highlighting?
Your mouth, of course.
We want it to be the focus of attention.
I thought her voice should be the focus.
And where does her voice come out from?
Ready. Look how sexy you look.
I look older.
You look like a woman, not a child.
They're different things.
Gerardo's coming,
in case you want a second opinion.
[Mayte] I bet he'll say
I look better with no make-up.
Can we talk for a second?
Hey! What did you say?
I asked if you have a moment
to go somewhere with me.
Me?
Can you or are you busy?
No, of course I can. Where are we going?
I can't tell you that. It's a surprise.
I love surprises.
Why is he leaving with Fabio?
I need to know what they're up to.
No, no, no.
You can't spy on your boyfriend.
That isn't right.
Look who's talking, the telescope queen.
Mayte! Mayte!
[Penélope scoffs]
Ow
RICARDO URZÚA AND FLOR LUJÁN
What are you doing?
Meet Flor Luján.
Ricardo's wife.
He killed her too.
We're almost there.
FOR REN
So?
Is it for Luján?
Mm-hmm.
Run, run!
Is it for the shop?
Mayte, this makes no sense.
Let's go back home.
This makes total sense to me, Penélope.
He's my boyfriend,
I want to know what he's up to.
Let me tell you, with that attitude,
you're going to smother him.
He doesn't need to find out.
None of us will tell him.
They're probably here to see a friend.
Come on, let's go.
It could be a girl too.
- See?
- Yes.
[indistinct chatter]
No, they're not here to see anyone.
They're here to see that house.
Maybe Gerardo's thinking
to make an investment.
No, it's not that.
Gerardo will ask me to live together.
I can just feel it.
Ricardo is here?
Did he follow us?
It's what I'm thinking.
But did you see him? Are you sure?
No, I'm not sure.
Well, let's call the station and ask.
But I don't think
that Betty's disappearance
is a coincidence.
I don't get you.
Only a soulless son of a bitch
is capable of something like this.
[Olivia] Poncho
What is happening? Tell me.
I think we should go to the police.
As soon as possible.
[siren blares]
[Olivia] Are you sure it was here?
I think so. It was very dark and
the guy drove very fast.
You should never have gotten
on a car with someone you don't know.
I know, it wasn't very smart on my part.
But he told me Ricardo was his friend.
That's why I did it.
Come on, it's this way. Turn left.
Right here.
It was right this way.
Back there, to the left.
[exhales sharply]
Watch your step.
Behind that door.
[in English] Stay there.
[gasps]
[heaving]
[in Spanish]
It didn't smell like this last night.
[in English] I told you to stay outside.
- Oh my God.
- [in Spanish] What?
[retches]
What?
It's Betty.
She's been murdered.
No!
This can't be.
- Damn it!
- Dear God!
