En esta puta ciudad

[pull brake]
[indistinct police radio chatter]
- You can't go in.
- My family lives there.
- Let go! Let me through!
- You can't.
Chief!
Carrizo.
What the fuck happened?
I need to go in now.
Excuse me. And you are?
Eduardo Carrizo.
This is my mother-in-law's house.
I want to witness the operation.
I'm a medical examiner.
I worked in the sixth precinct
with Chief Tegue.
[man sobbing]
Okay.
Who reported it?
The husband of a woman named Fermina.
Apparently, she worked as a maid.
[Eduardo] Yes. Fermina Godoy.
[man continues sobbing]

[Fabiana laughing]
[Charly] No, I don't want to.
[laughing]
All right.
[Fabiana] Aah!
[man] Stop making out and get in!
- Let's get in the water.
- We'll be right there.
[Charly] From now on,
we only do great things.
No more small gigs to get by.
Big, conceptual things.
I want Gustavo, Cachorro,
the underestimated Willy,
and you.
Charly, Flaco and I were invited
to present the album at Obras.
It's a lot of shows.
I still have so many shows for Giros.
There's so much going on
[Charly] Relax, Fito.
We're in Rio. Let's get in the water.
[Fabiana laughs]
[atmospheric music playing]
[laughter]
[man] Woo!
[phone ringing]
[phone ringing]
Fito, wake up.
Fito.
Phone call from Buenos Aires.
It's important.
Fabi.
Let's go.
Hello?
What happened?
Someone broke into
Fito's house in Rosario.
What? When?
Last night.
Are his grandmothers okay?
[unsettling music playing]
Ho How?
[breathing shakily]
[trembling]
[sobbing]
[clatters]

LOVE AFTER MUSIC
[inhaling]
We'll go to the airport now
and get on the first flight out.
[Eduardo] Listen, Fito.
There's something else you need to know.
They planted marijuana in the house.
A big bag of it.
What?
I know it's ridiculous, but I worry
they might want to incriminate you.
Will they accuse me?
Me? I don't get it.
[Eduardo] Don't worry.
It makes absolutely no sense.
But sit tight for a few days.
No, absolutely not.
I have to be there, Uncle.
Please listen to me, Fito.
I'm very serious.
They're insane.
[Eduardo] Fito.
No, Uncle.
You don't understand. I need to be there.
[Eduardo] And you will.
When the time is right, you'll be here.
[smashes handset]
[somber music playing]
[inhales]
Want to go in the ocean?
Come on, it will help you.
I have to go, Fabi.
Listen to Carrizo.
We just have to wait.
[atmospheric music playing]
Fito!
Fito!
Fito!
Fito!
Fito!
[somber music playing]
[old-fashioned music
playing over TV speakers]
And this one?
Wait till he falls off that horse
[chuckles]
[chuckling]
[both laughing]
[laughing]
[chuckles, sighs]
[exhales]
[reporter] a long session in court.
The temperature will rise to 95F,
and there is a huge commotion in Rosario.
There is a lot of press
due to the arrival of musician Fito Paez.
[Eduardo] Could you turn it down, please?
a case that has the country on edge
[turns off radio]
[Eduardo] Thank you for your help, sir.
[man] It's what I'm here for.
Fito, stay calm. Follow my lead.
What is that?
Just candy.
This is no joke, Fito.
They're trying to implicate you.
You need to keep a clear head.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
ROSARIO
Here he is now, let's try to talk
[reporter speaking indistinctly]
[camera shutter clicking]
[inaudible]
[unsettling music playing]
Fito, that won't help you right now.
- This way.
- That's us. Ready?
Come on, Fito. Let's go.
[phones ringing]
- [man] Come on in, please.
- Go ahead.
You go ahead. Have a seat.
[Fito playing aimlessly on keyboard]
Shall we start?
Yes, please.
[plays recording] Yes, please.
[man] Focus, Fito. Take off your glasses.
[Fito exhales]
[district attorney] Good.
Mr. Paez, when was the last time
you went to Ms. Ramírez's home?
You mean my home?
- Can't remember.
- Could you give us a specific date?
- [plays recording] Can't remember.
- Fito, he is only trying to help us.
Well, I don't know
What day is today?
November 12.
[Fito] Hmm.
October, then.
It was probably
early October.
How was your visit?
How was it?
Mm-hmm.
Same as always.
We had some food.
We talked.
We took a nap.
Nothing was strange?
No.
Are you sure?
[plays recording] No.
Fito, the prosecutor here is asking
if you can remember anything
that might help us resolve this situation.
It was just a normal visit.
Would anyone want to harm you?
No?
Any debts?
- For buying drugs, for instance.
- [breathes]
[scoffs]
There was a conspicuous amount
of marijuana found in a closet drawer
Please, sir, let's avoid foul play.
You know very well if there were
no eyewitnesses when it was found,
that evidence must be nullified.
That's up to the judge.
Mister Paez.
This is Fermina Godoy.
- No, I don't think
- This is not necessary.
She was stabbed with a sharp object.
The examiners say
several minutes passed before she died.
[Eduardo]
There's no need to be so explicit.
And this is Ms. Ramírez.
Jeez.
She was asleep.
They put a pillow on her face
to muffle the sound
of the shot that killed her.
Do I need to show you Ms. Josefa?
The question is
what kind of burglary
ends in 90 stab wounds?
- [Eduardo] I think that's enough, right?
- [man] Yes, I agree.
We will not stop until we find
the perpetrators of this tragedy.
[reporter] Is it true that the homicides
were to settle a drug score?
Rest assured that if we find this case
is related to drug trafficking,
we'll be relentless
Listen up. We have, let's see,
nine keys that won't open.
And one that will open
the Chest of Happiness.
Our notary Jorge Rossi
has something to say.
[Rossi] Let's watch
some footage of Bariloche.
We were going to watch it later,
when the students had their keys,
but you can see
what some of the students will enjoy
if they open the Chest of Happiness.
It's good, Auntie.
Thanks, honey.
[man on TV] a weekly award
of approximately 10,000 australes.
[somber music playing]
[sighs deeply]
You won't stay for a few days?
No, Auntie.
I have to get back to Buenos Aires.
[Fito exhales]
Thank you.
[gentle music playing]
Fito.
When the police is finished,
what do I do with the house?
Sell it, give it away, burn it down.
I don't care.
No, I don't want to bother anyone.
[door opens]
[door closes]
I'll call you back.
I hear someone up the stairs.
Fito?
[slow footsteps approaching]
Hi, Paez.
Where were you?
I was on the phone with Ale.
Nobody had heard from you.
You disappeared. We missed you.
How are you?
Mm?
[somber music playing]
[water running]
[knocking softly]
Fito?
Do you want some food?
[Fito] I'm okay.
No, you're not okay.
Can I come in?
[somber music continues]
- Hi, Flaco.
- Fabi, dear.
Thanks for coming.
- There are so many people outside.
- Ugh.
How is he?
Hanging in there. What can I say?
"Andromeda has a cannibalistic past."
"This galaxy has swallowed
in the last ten billion years
many smaller galaxies."
"We could be next."
"The Milky Way" Listen to this.
"The Milky Way is
on a collision course with Andromeda,
and the galaxies will collide
in about four billion years."
You're bored, right?
- Let's watch a movie. I brought some.
- Okay.
I have a Marx Brothers one,
A Night at the Opera.
Pasolini's Teorema, which is brilliant.
And I also brought Casablanca.
[Fabiana] Casablanca? Mm.
[poignant music playing]
[voice breaking]
They didn't even take anything.
"Galaxies feed on each other."
"The Milky Way as we know it
is a result of its merger
with Gaia-Enceladus."
"This chaotic merger
caused violent bursts of star formation
that lasted about four billion years."
[Fabiana] Fito.
Come on.
Get up. Rehearsal with Luis
is in half an hour.
- Come on.
- [Fito] Mm.
Paez, come on.
- [Fito moans]
- [grunts]
- [Fito] I'm not going.
- Get up, come on.
Come on.
- What are you doing?
- [Fabiana] Up.
- [Fito] What are you doing?
- Come on.
Here, I'll help you.
[exhales] I can't go.
Tell them I can't today.
[Fabiana scoffs]
I don't want to. I don't want to go.
I don't want to have to dress you
like a baby either, but here I am. Huh?
Come on.
[Fito moans]
[Fabiana] Now this one.
Come on, up.
There you go.
- Are we done?
- No.
You're very handsome.
Let's go.
The venue is booked.
There's so much money at stake,
the press work is done.
Instead of postponing,
I'll get another keyboard player
and Fito can just sing.
No way, it has to be Fito.
Let's postpone, then.
[playing "Ciudad de Pobres Corazones"]
Fito.
[stops playing]
That's good.
Uh
You know that the papers
are spewing nonsense
about this thing with the marijuana
they found at your grandmothers' house?
Mm? That's not good.
Especially now that
we're about to promote the album
You should set the record straight
in a press conference to garner empathy.
What do you think?
[atmospheric music playing]
People need to know
what you're going through.
[Fabiana] Good.
Record it, Ale.

Poor thing.
[crying]
[exhaling]
[sniffles]
[kisses]
[tense music playing]
They're not here.
- They are gone.
- What's gone?
Her pearls, Eduardo.
The pearl necklace Mom loved.
Either one of your officers stole it,
or the perpetrators did.
It's a necklace.
And Fito's cassette player
is missing as well.
It makes no difference.
They could've been misplaced.
It's not a clear motive
for a triple homicide like this.
What is clear, sir, is that time goes by,
and you have nothing.
You know this is getting nowhere.
No politician likes
skeletons in the closet,
especially during a campaign.
Are you threatening me, sir?
I am just asking, on behalf of my client,
to not bury this case.
We're offering a clue
to open a new line of investigation.
Use it, sir.
Be grateful that we are bringing it to you
and not to the media.
I have a present for you from Cata.
It's SuperFito.
Thank you.
Send my love to the kids.
I don't know if I can do this.
It's a three-hour show.
It's three hours. I'm worried
I might mess up your songs.
I'm sorry, but I can't.
I don't know how I'm going to do it.
You can do it, brother.
Don't you worry, I know you can.
Hey, Fito. I have an extra mattress.
Do you want to stay here tonight?
- Okay.
- Great.
I'll send them your love.
Are you okay?
