Epitafios (2004) s01e08 Episode Script

EPITAPHS
Listen, Renzo, they're not
gonna take you off the case.
They'll support you.
look like such an idiot?
Don't be an ass.
They broadcast the murder
on live TV, what do you want,
for the asshole
to get his own TV show
Okay.
All right, all right.
- Let them help you.
- Who's gonna help? Her?
Don't underestimate her,
she's a coroner,
a psychiatrist,
she has a masters
in scientific research.
Great, I'll be working
under her.
No, she's just gonna
help you.
If you let her,
of course.
What I don't understand
is all the confusion.
What are they
surprised about?
I'd understand hate,
desperation,
fear,
anguish
but I don't understand
the confusion.
He's been after me
for two months,
two months of failure,
day after day.
Can you explain what the fuck
you're so surprised about?
Well, I suppose you know
everything about him,
who he is, what his name is,
where he lives, right?
I'm Marina Segal, from homicide.
I was commissioned to
everything. Excuse me.
He worked or is still working
in a wake house.
The weapon is always a big part
of the crime scene,
and the faces of the bodies
that he has time to manipulate,
never show the horror
of what they've been through.
He works like they do
in the funeral parlors,
putting make-up on them.
Okay.
Why does he do it?
I don't think he knows. He just
goes through the motions.
Yes, Dad.
No, I didn't forget, Dad.
I'm on my way there now.
I've gotta pick my dad up
from the hospital.
You wanna come with me
and we can keep talking?
No, I'm gonna go
to the lab
and see how the photo refining
is coming along.
Take the day off
if you want.
We'll talk later.
Bye.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Nico will be right there,
he's brushing his teeth.
How's everything?
- What do you think?
- I don't know what you mean.
You're gonna
take him, right?
Now that you mention it,
Nico's passport is current?
High cholesterol.
I almost get killed,
and all these guys
are worried about
is my high cholesterol.
Why don't you sue them?
Because I'll lose.
I already know I have high
cholesterol, how could I not?
Nothing, no matches.
What are you
comparing it with?
With the identikits.
I know there's
a recording,
the guy contacted us on the web
on two occasions, right?
Yeah, but we never
see his face.
he's in the shadows,
the lighting's bad.
Yeah, but it's
a real image,
I mean it's
the shape of his face,
the angle of his nose,
a real image.
- Yeah.
- Do you have a copy?
Yeah.
This is my mailing address.
Send me a copy of the video
and the photograph,
I'd like to study them.
Sounds like a waste
of time to me.
Aren't you the one
wasting time?

HERE LIES HE WHO WAS UNABLE
TO DISTlNGUISH
BETWEEN TRASH AND MIRACLES
You shouldn't leave the
silverware in the water,
you should dry it
right away.
Okay, Dad.
I can't believe it.
I'm gone a few days,
and the place
looks like a pigsty.
I swear to GodRenzo,
what did I ask you to do?
I asked you to buy vegetables.
Why didn't you do it?
I did, I did.
No, you call these vegetables?
Why don't you write a list?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Martin's dead and I'm
complaining about this nonsense.
They put someone
from homicide on the case.
A woman. And that's not
the worst of it.
The worst part is that she seems
good at what she does.
Marina Segal,
do you know her?
Dad?
Do you know her?
I know her dad.
Segal, the Russian.
He was my partner
in the homicide division.
Yeah, and?
I'll tell you later, okay?
Right now we'd better worry
about getting some food.
- When did you get this?
- Just now.
Has he gotten
all spiritual now?
Not necessarily.
But he mentions
a miracle.
He mentions someone
who didn't know
how to appreciate
a miracle.
Something that's really
important to him, unique to him.
And that someone,
who's gonna be
his next victim,
dirtied it
or turned it into trash.
What?
I don't know.
It could be anything.
To me, my son's birth
was a miracle.
What's the matter, Laura?
Fernan's leaving the country
and he's taking my son.
He can't do that.
Of course he can.
No, he needs
a court order.
He'll get one.
Nico's not safe
with me,
I can't be so selfish.
Of course I don't want him
to go with his dad,
but if he stays?
What if something happens?
What would I do?
I'd kill myself.
Come here.
IDENTITY TES
The day my parents left,
I found a kitten
and I killed it.
Do you have kids, Doctor?
Laura.
It's important to me,
I'm confessing things to you
that I've never told anyone
in my entire life
and I need to know whose hands
I'm putting my life in.
I need to know.
What's going on?
I understand your husband.
It's gotta be really hard
to be with a woman
as intelligent
as you are, right?
He's my patient.
He's my patient.
You're not gonna smile
today either?
You don't have a single memory
worth telling me?
Not even one?
It's too bad.
You know
what I really think?
I think
you're lying to me.
I think you've been
deceiving me for a long time.
It's impossible
for you not to remember me.
It's not possible that after
destroying my life,
you don't even
remember my face.
Eat.
Eat.
I'm sick of this.
If you've lost your memory,
I've lost my patience.
But from today on,
it's gonna be different.
I promise you
that I'll make you remember.
We're gonna take a walk.
We'll be right back.
he started coming
to see me
a year after
he got out of college.
I have a phone number,
I'm sure of it.
Have you ever
called him before?
Yeah, once,
but he didn't pick up.
He was actually the one
who contacted me.
There it is.
- What day does he come?
- Thursdays.
- Yes?
- It's Carlos. You busy?
Yes, but I can talk.
Anything interesting?
Very interesting.
There's a guy
who wants to meet you.
How much are we talking?
5,000.
Will you lend me 3,000?
You know I will.
- When?
- Tonight.
You should've
told me earlier.
It was a last minute thing.
Can you or can't you?
No.
No, I can't.
It'll have to be
some other time.
What bothered you
so much?
That they were young?
That they had plans
for their lives?
Or did it bother you
that they were horny?
That bothered you.
That they were horny.
That's normal.
At that age, sex is
something unique, amazing.
They were far away
from everything,
their houses,
rules,
their parents.
Sex was floating
in the air,
you could
breathe it in.
Weren't you ever 17?
They thought so.
They trusted you,
and you deceived them.
Why?
I'm gonna
make you remember,
make you
remember everything.
Yes?
Wow, my God,
with that personality,
you're never gonna
get a boyfriend, sweetie.
I'll keep that in mind.
- Good.
- Any news?
Yeah, two things.
Another epitaph came.
I'll read it to you.
- No.
- No? Why not?
Because I don't care.
Because all he wants
is to have a bunch of idiots
dealing with him.
He wants to waste
everyone's time
and nobody wastes
my time.
Hey!
You still there?
Yeah, yeah,
I'm here.
Don't take it personally.
It's hard not to
when you're called idiot.
And the other
piece of news?
The other one?
How about this?
I have you.
Who the fuck is she?
Where does she come from?
She called me an idiot.
Wow, and she barely even
knows you yet.
I'm not joking around, Dad.
Who is she?
Where does she come from?
- Who is she?
- Forget about it.
No, I'm not gonna
forget about it.
Who does she think she is?
You were gonna tell me something
about her father. What was it?
No, I wasn't gonna
tell you anything.
All I said was that I knew
her father. That's it.
No, something else happened.
What is it?
What happened? I don't
really know what happened.
Anyhow, I don't really
wanna talk about this,
ask her about it.
I'm kind of tired,
could you take me
to my room?
See? I need you to give
his face more definition
and his body, too,
especially this part.
You've been watching
too many movies.
You can't do it?
Of course I can.
With the right equipment,
you can do anything nowadays.
And we don't have it?
Who does?
I know of a company,
but
it'll cost a lot of money,
and with our budget
How much are we talking?
3,000,
maybe 4,000.
I'll come up
with the money.
Do you know
how long it might take?
Between 24 and 48 hours.
How much is it?
How much you got?
Honey
you can't get anything
with that kind of money.
I liked that.
Are you horny?
You turn me on, too.
Shall we go
somewhere
a little more private?
All right, enough, lady.
Enough.
That'll do.
Come on back
whenever you like, baby.
I'm glad you were able
to make it.
Been awhile since
you've played?
Since I was 17.
You've made a nice
career for yourself.
Statistically speaking,
I should be dead.
Well, today the statistics
will be fulfilled.
You start.
If you're in a hurry
you're screwed.
Because I think
we'll be here for awhile.
Now if you want,
you can withdraw,
I'll give you
a rematch another day.
I mean, if you're
in a hurry.
Load in three bullets,
Carlos.
Are you trying
to provoke me?
What do I do?
You decide.
It's a trick.
A bluff,
a nice bluff.
I can even imagine most assholes
pissing their pants.
But there's a problem,
I'm no asshole.
If you wanna play
with four bullets,
fine, go ahead.
I wanna see you pull the trigger
with four bullets.
Didn't expect that, huh?
How are you gonna bluff your way
out of this one?
Your turn.
These ones
aren't quite as fun.
I went through a lot of trouble
to get them.
They had so much passion,
so many dreams.
You were witness to one
of these passions, remember?
Do you really think they were
burned by the fire of passion.
You're remembering.
Do you remember?
Yes, of course.
Finally.
Finally.
You can't imagine
how happy it makes me
that you remember.
Because I never, ever
forgot about it.
what I said?
Yes, perfectly. He came to you
dressed as a transvestite,
he came to Laura
as a patient, right?
Laura recognized him.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
- Did you talk to Marina?
- What for?
What do you mean, what for?
You're working together.
No, we're not.
I don't work with anyone
- who treats me like an idiot.
- Shall I call her?
No, no, no,
I don't think it's fair.
Don't do this to me.
I've been after him for three
months. Okay, I lost him,
but I've always been close.
He killed Martin,
he almost killed my dad.
Please, give me three men,
just three men,
and I'll bring him
to you.
But I wanna be the one
Please.
Pick two.
What were you
laughing at?
What were you
laughing about?
When they took
that photo,
you had already ruined
our lives.
What did you find
so funny?
Fucking old bitch.
Are you happy now?
That's the man
we're looking for.
Tomorrow night at seven,
he'll be
at Dr. Santini's office.
We'll be waiting
for him.
Okay, I want you
to get some rest.
I want you good
and alert tomorrow.
Don't forget that this monster
killed five of our own.
Tomorrow, we're gonna
lock him up.
I want this
son of a bitch alive.
Yes?
How'd they come out?
I'll be right there,
yeah.
I want you two over there.
Let's go.
Come on.
There, there.
Good.
He'll enter the building.
Get your head
down lower. Lower.
Good.
Let him come up
go to the elevator,
open the doors
Then do it,
if you're sure.
If you have any doubts,
let him go up the elevator,
you go up the stairs.
I'll be upstairs
with the doctor and him.
Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Let's go upstairs.
No, guys, no.
It's now, damn it!
When he opens the door.
You can't give him time
to react, do you understand?
- Aren't you overreacting a bit?
- I know him well, kid.
Do what I tell you,
and be careful.
Okay, I'll be here,
covering her
and you
will be there,
covering me.
Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Okay, go downstairs.
I'll be right there.
Don't be afraid.
Everything's
gonna be fine.
They brought you the photos,
the CD and the receipt.
Good.
No, no vest.
No uniform.
Small arms only,
no large arms.
I don't want anyone
on the street.
I don't want him
to suspect anything.
HISBERT BUILDING
3 DR. PASOS ACCOUNTING OFFICE
4 SOL TOURS TRAVEL AGENCY
5 LAW OFFICES OF DR. SUAREZ
Do you know him?
His name is Bruno Costas.
He worked with us.
Worked?
We fired him
five years ago.
And what were his duties
within the company?
He was a travel agent.
He organized
student groups,
he sold travel packets
in schools.
This is the last trip
he organized for us.
Why?
I'm sorry, but I can't
tell you that.
I'm not authorized
to talk about the matter.
Have you heard
of violent emotion?
It's an episode
of momentary insanity
brought about
by a disturbing event.
Your ex-employee
killed five police officers,
two of whom
were friends of mine.
And maybe this thing
you don't wanna talk about
could help me
catch him.
I'm sorry
about your friends, but
I feel powerless
against your negativity,
desperate.
Oh, furious.
Because I promised,
I promised to bring him
to justice
in front of their
gravestones.
And I don't know
what to do. Kill myself?
- No, why don't you
- Or kill you?
I'm starting to see red.
Oh! It's all
going red.
All red, and I don't know
what to do.
I don't know
what to do.
It was harassment.
It was for
sexual harassment.
It was for
sexual harassment.
Thanks.
Hello?
Let's see.
Did it open?
Okay, I'll come down.
I have to go down
to open it.
Laura is coming downstairs
because the door is locked.
- What do we do?
- Let them come up.
One of you stays down there,
the other comes up the stairs.
Okay.
- Sorry, come in.
- Hi.
Doctor
is something wrong?
No, why?
We always greet
each other with a kiss.
Sorry.
They're coming up.
Laura,
this is a present for your son,
for his birthday. Take it.
No, it's not
his birthday.
I know it isn't yet, but I'm
not gonna come anymore.
I'm not coming anymore.
Take it, please.
Okay, thanks.
Let's go in.
I'm not gonna go in.
Let's go in and talk
about your decision.
There's nothing else
to talk about, Laura.
I'm cured.
Please let me go.
Let her go or I'll
blow your head off.
- Don't move.
- Let her go!
If you follow me,
I'll kill her, Renzo.
You got it?
I'll kill her.
Don't move!
Renzo!
It's over.
It's over.
What was
the girl's name?
Sorry?
You said he was accused
of sexual harassment.
Yes, but it wasn't a girl,
it was a guy a student.
What was
the student's name?
Mujica,
Alejandro Mujica.
Did he force himself
on him?
No, they got along well.
What do I know?
They liked each other.
Maybe it was because
of something earlier,
because Bruno went
to the same school as Mujica.
I think they were
there together for three years,
Bruno's last three
and the kid's first three.
And then, well, you know
how these trips are,
they get together,
they become couples,
it's all chaos.
Same thing happened here,
but instead of boy meets girl,
it was boy meets boy.
Who figured it out?
The worst person possible.
A professor,
a stupid old bitch.
They weren't
doing anything,
they were sleeping
in a bed.
But she made a fuss
and the company sent me
to resolve the issue.
They figured that if this
came out, we'd be ruined.
We offered her
a large sum of money
in exchange for dropping
the complaint and keeping quiet.
And the arrangement
included firing him?
- Of course.
- Did she accept the deal?
Yes, she didn't talk
about the issue anymore
and we never received
another complaint.
For us,
it's a done deal.
But not for him.
Not for Bruno Costas.
