Epitafios (2004) s02e01 Episode Script

Come in.
- Good morning, Gabi.
- Good morning.
We've got a new patient.
I would like you to see him.
TThe police found him
roaming the streets barefoot
he had no ID with him,
of any kind whatsoever.
The police pick up half
of our patients on the street.
So what's so interesting
about this one?
Can't you see he looks
like he just got out of a grave?
He's dehydrated
his hands are bruised,
his nails are almost all gone
it's a miracle he is alive.
He is unreactive
and hasn't utter a single sound.
- When was he found?
- A few hours ago.
- Meet XL.
- Why do you call him that?
Because XL is his size.
Business partner murdered.
Martino's body found
What's going on?
He's in there.
Masoni won't move him
until backup arrives.
- What's it to him?
- It's just a matter of time.
What? I've been after
that animal for two months.
Where are you going?
Lagos.
Don't take your eyes off him.
- Sorry, I'm late.
- That's okay.
- How old are you?
- Nineteen.
Your parents
should be shot.
You are so right.
Let's do this.
Get back.
- What's that?
- My nose is congested.
Wait.
Let's play backwards.
What I mean
I know what you mean.
No way.
Why?
It could be interesting.
Are you scared?
Such a thrilling emotion
the feeling of dying.
Or killing.
Get Down!
Put the gun down!
Now!
Don't do it!
Oh my!
Shit!
- Can you feel it?
- Go on.
- The bullet is there.
- Go on.
- I can't believe it.
- Do it, idiot.
Is that what you want?
You owe me one.
I owe you nothing.
You know you do.
How did you know?
What do you mean?
That he'd fire at us.
I smelled it.
What do you mean
you smelled it?
I smelled gunpowder.
You smelled gunpowder?
From the shells.
He used that shotgun before
and I smelled them.
You smelled gunpowder
through a window
three to four feet
away from him?
I've got a good nose.
A great nose, I'd say.
Do you want
to write something?
Tell me,
why did you declare him dead?
I need a second opinion.
No doctor in his right mind
would confirm such results.
It's about XL, Gustavo.
- Are you kidding?
- No.
There might be a mistake.
There's no mistake.
I reran all tests.
The results
are exactly the same.
He wasn't even breathing.
I know that.
Now he is breathing.
That's insane.
And we are a madhouse.
- What's the matter with you?
- Why, sir?
I said I didn't want
to see anybody.
- Masoni was getting away.
- He did and he's dead.
Good, he won't
bother us anymore.
I needed him alive.
- We do what we can, sir.
- I think you do what you want.
Is that all?
Sit down, Marquez.
This unit takes care of
special cases.
I am not Jimenez.
You need to carry out my orders.
All right, sir.
I'm going to have
Marina Segal transferred.
Please give me until tomorrow
to talk to her.
I needed her today,
where was she?
It's hard to replace
someone like Marina.
What do you suggest?
Please, let me talk to her,
give me until tomorrow.
- You have until tomorrow.
- Thanks.
By the way, I'm moving.
I need to take some stuff out.
- Alright.
- Thanks.
Renzo, this is Marcos,
your dad, in case you forgot.
Can you call me
when you arrive?
Renzo, what the hell
is going on?
You won't answer your cell hone
or your home hone.
I just want to know
if you're okay.
Give me a call or I'll get u,
go over there
and kick your ass so hard
you won't be able
to sit for weeks.
Have you got
a problem with me?
Renzo, what are you
doing here?
- Just making sure you're alive.
- You know I am alive.
What have you been
doing lately?
I need time
and I need space.
Marina, when Laura died,
and all that happened
I never said I needed time
or space and I was hurt bad.
I'm glad.
Now if you don't mind
I mind a lot of things
like not knowing
where the hell you are
lying to Masoni about you,
should I go on?
I don't know
what's going on
and I don't care what you do
outside of our unit
I just need to know
if I can count on my partner.
- Yes, you can.
- Good.
How's the coffee?
Bad, it's adulterated.
You're not serious, are you?
Dead serious.
I hope it's not deadly.
- Marina Segal.
- Mariano Lagos.
How do you do.
- Have you spoken with Segal?
- Yes, sir.
Did you move out already
and slept well?
I haven't slept well
in a long time.
Really?
Sir.
- What is it?
- Someone sent us some pictures.
- When were they here?
- Yesterday just before we closed.
Do you remember anything
about the customer?
No, so many people
come in here
I just jot down
the information and that's it.
- What information?
- Name, address, phone number.
- Can I have a look?
- Sure.
The snapshots
are apparently real.
- What's in them?
- An entire murder.
We need more solid proof.
We're working on it,
Masoni.
We got an address
and we're on our way.
Whoever took those pictures
isn't going to get the door.
Roberto Klur.
Is that your name?
Roberto
Klur.
Have you identified him?
Not yet.
So?
Silver halide.
The murderer came into contact
with silver halide.
The rope is reeking of them
and he had to touch it.
Where would he touch
silver halide?
It's hard to tell.
It's used for lots of things.
I found something.
His name is Roberto Klur
a retired doctor,
a widower, no children.
A coroner.
- Is his name Roberto Klur?
- I don't know.
Maybe the cops
can identify him.
They've been notified.
Have you got a cold?
I'm allergic to the cleaners
they use in here.
The Klur case.
I'm sorry,
but I have to get out of here.
See if Morin
has the autopsy report.
Zuncho.
Run this through the computer
and see if you can get a match.
I need similar scenarios.
Skinned?
- What?
- He was skinned?
What does it say here?
S-K-l-N-N-E-D.
Like in '87 and '88.
- What?
- There was a similar case.
So where is it?
In here.
I'll let you know
as soon as I have something.
Lacerated tendons
on lower section of both legs.
Skin ripped off
from the waist to the neck.
He was stabbed
with a sharp object
that penetrated the aorta.
So he was stabbed
in the heart
but was he skinned
before or after?
He was skinned after he died,
if that's your question.
He started with the tendons,
with a single slash on each.
Why Klur?
We've ruled out a robbery,
a crime of passion
There's no record
of a single loan or any debts.
Any family?
They all live abroad.
Any pending litigation?
Nothing in Klur's recent life
indicates this was done
out of revenge.
If there's nothing recent,
we'll have to dig up his past.
Exactly.
Excuse me.
I knew I had
this file somewhere.
In 1988,
we went through a similar case.
Almost identical, actually.
The Pardo Martino case.
Is this all?
That's just a synopsis.
The computer is searching.
- Any pictures?
- What?
Are there any photos?
Yes, I'm printing them.
You can pick them up now.
Sure.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir.
Marquez.
Remember, working on your own
is not a good idea.
- Yes, sir.
- We got your point.
I'll show you four cards
with four different pictures
and I want you
Good job.
If you wanted
to impress me, you got it.
So now,
here is a very simple question.
Who are you?
Are you Roberto Klur?
I can help you.
I am here to help you.
You have to trust me.
What a silly thing to say.
Tell you can trust me.
I guess
you already know that.
So?
So what?
What's on your mind?
This is not a crime of hate.
From what I saw
at the crime scene
this was a brutal killing,
but Klur died quickly.
He was skinned after he died,
so he did not feel any pain.
So what?
I don't know.
Overall, we have
this sadistic, violent murder
which was executed
with great precision
as if the killer
planned everything beforehand.
As if he was
some kind of executioner.
Exactly, an executioner.
The killer
carried out an execution
without getting involved
with the victim.
If the killer
is an executioner, then why Klur?
What was his crime?
Sto it! I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
Sto right there.
Come back here, you bitch.
Wait.
- Stop it.
- I'm sorry.
Stop it.
I'm really sorry.
It won't happen again.
I need your help
to make sure it won't.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Hello.
- Marina?
- Yes.
- Are you alright?
- Yes.
Are you busy?
I'm studying the photos.
And you?
I'm reviewing a 1988 case.
And?
There's something amazing.
Guess who the coroner was?
Klur?
Very good. Klur.
Most criminal acts
are simly a grou
of everyday circumstances
that are seeed
in very oor taste.
But once in a while, we might
see some admirable ortrait
comarable
to the Mona Lisa herself
the chiaroscuro
of the Last Suer
or the erfection
of Michelangelo's David.
Then, at that very moment
when you're facing such
a icture
your heart races
and you gas for breath
because you know
you've seen some unique,
one-of-a-kind cases
and you know
this is one of them.
Okay, so we know Klur
was the coroner
of that 1988 case.
And 20 years later
he was murdered
exactly the same way.
So where is the killer?
Doing time.
So?
Sure, this is a copycat,
who not only copies a crime
but kills someone involved
in the criminal investigation.
What is that?
These were taken
by the forensic photographer
for the Martino case.
And these were taken
by Klur's killer.
Son of a bitch.
They're identical.
Same angle, same lighting.
This is forensic material.
Exactly.
Coincidence?
I don't think so.
He had to have access
to classified information
which isn't available
to just anybody.
A cop?
Not necessarily.
Information is bought
and sold, as you well know.
I wouldn't rule out anything
and what I would do
is pay the first killer a visit,
this Luis Pardo guy.
I'm going there now.
Reporters?
Police officers.
- What do you want?
- To ask you some questions.
I think I told you
everything I know.
Have you got a razor?
I need a razor blade
to finish here.
Listen, Mr. Pardo.
Mr. Pardo?
I haven't been addressed
like that in ages.
It sounds weird.
How about a penknife?
Has anyone been asking you
about your crime?
That's an unimportant
and most unfortunate story.
You skinned that guy,
it was pretty messy
that's not unimportant.
Someone could be interested.
You should be interested
in seeing the face
of that son of a bitch, my partner.
A pin?
Has anyone
been asking questions?
For the past twenty years
I've been trying to remember
when that son of a bitch told me
that we had made
some bad investments
and we were ruined
up to when I saw him strung up
like a pig from the roof.
I try to remember,
but I don't, I just don't.
How about a nail clip,
or a razor?
Something, anything sharp,
like a scalpel, for example.
- Good morning, Heredia.
- Good morning.
I need to see if anyone's asked
for the Pardo Martino file.
If they did,
it would be in the register.
Where did this come from?
From the fifth circuit court.
It's from a patient
in a mental hospital.
- When did he do this?
- When Klur was still alive.
Is he still in there?
Nothing?
Nobody's been through
Martino's file.
Damn it!
Roberto Klur?
Some nutcase
wrote his name.
At the clinic,
they thought it was him
sent it to the court,
and they notified us.
What do you think?
Let's see if it's a psycho,
an accomplice, or both.
We'll have to find out.
Somebody's here to see you.
- Who?
- Rolice officers.
- Lorenzo Marquez.
- Come in.
Marina Segal.
I'm all ears.
We're investigating
the murder of Roberto Klur.
We know a patient of yours
wrote his name down
before he was killed.
- XL.
- Excuse me?
XL.
Who is XL?
The patient
who wrote that name.
- Can we talk to him?
- I don't think so.
We have to talk to him.
I doubt it.
I've tried to since he got here.
We could get lucky.
My work doesn't depend on luck,
maybe yours does.
- That's a very biased remark.
- I'm just being realistic.
Realistic or not
She's right, she's right.
The doctor is right,
but I'd like to try anyway.
Please.
- Any visitors?
- None.
- What do you think?
- About what?
Is he nuts or not?
I'd say he's had
a very traumatic experience.
Do you have a gun?
I'll take that.
Hello.
Surprise, surprise.
The world is a small place.
Anything else?
I'll let you know
if I come up with anything else.
I'm a police officer
on a criminal investigation.
Do you know him?
Klur. Roberto Klur.
This is what
he looks like now.
He's dead.
Look at him!
You wrote his name.
Where do you
know him from?
Where do you
know him from?
- Doctor.
- What have you done?
Nothing, he went crazy
when he saw the picture.
What?
What?
Where do you
know him from?
Where did you meet him?
Why are you writing his name?
Where do you know him from?
Why are you writing this?
- Do you know him?
- He's my father.
Let's see now.
Let's see over here.
Here it is.
This one.
This is a '98 vintage.
This is the right wine
for a very special evening.
