Epitafios (2004) s02e07 Episode Script

How could you lie
and cheat on her like that?
I did no such thing.
I fell in love.
Marina.
I'm your brother.
Hello.
We'll check this phone's
outgoing calls
to see when you
last spoke with him.
- They're done.
- Good.
He did a good job.
Don't call me here,
you fool.
They want a DNA sample
with regard to a homicide.
I'll find that bastard.
I'll place his picture
all over the media.
You'll do nothing
without my okay,
and get some proof
if you want an arrest warrant.
I'll turn you in myself.
We have the killer's DNA.
We need to prove
it's Ronda's son, right?
It's a match.
Ronda's son is our man.
"The manhunt is on.
Investigators
look for Fernando Ronda."
It was Marquez's idea.
He got an DNA sample
from the father's body.
I swear that bastard
will know what hell is like.
An eye for an eye.
A tooth for a tooth.
A blow for a blow.
I will destroy him.
An eye for an eye.
A tooth for a tooth.
A blow for a blow.
He will know
what hell is like.
What kind of camera is it?
What kind? A camera.
It's just a camera.
I should file
a police brutality complaint.
- What do you want?
- We need to talk.
That's not necessary.
I think it is.
I need to make
a fair decision.
Is that a threat?
No it's not a threat.
Trust me.
What do you
want to talk about?
About your hatred.
Is there anything
worthwhile?
- When will I have something?
- In a week if we're lucky.
Are you kidding me?
I want the information today.
Understood?
And I want to be taller,
on vacation with a new car.
Call me the minute
you get something.
I was nine years old.
That morning I said goodbye
as usual to my parents,
as I went to school.
As a nice girl
with nice parents,
they would be there
when I got back.
Nothing had happened.
Nothing.
They were standing there,
waving and smiling,
as I hopped in
the school bus.
There was no motive,
nothing, not even a hint,
about what would occur
that afternoon.
Bye Laura.
Mom. Dad.
Mom.
Dad.
I didn't call anyone.
I didn't cry either.
I wasn't scared.
I just didn't get
what had happened,
so I sat in the hallway,
waiting for mom to come home
and exlain it to me.
But mom never came back.
And the explanation
came long after,
when I got my dad's belongings
with a letter he wrote
before blowing
his brains out.
She ran away.
I know that.
And you hated her for that.
She deserted me.
And I was only nine.
For what it's worth,
she regretted it all her life.
I don't care and I don't know
why I'm telling you this.
We have his picture,
but not the camera.
- That was to be expected.
- He'll strike again.
Marquez.
Good job. We know who he is
and we're looking for him.
Go have a drink and rest.
You deserve to.
I'll call you
if something comes up.
I have a name for you.
What do you need to know?
Everything.
Jorge Diaz, a cop.
One of ours?
He reports directly
to the Secretary of the Interior.
Is this official?
Personal.
That's very risky.
I know that,
but I need it urgently.
You don't have to do it.
Why do you need
to investigate Diaz?
He's investigating me.
You?
Why would he
investigate you?
I made a mistake.
What mistake?
Being in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
I just need
to know one thing.
Are you guilty or innocent?
Innocent.
Okay, I'll try.
But I don't know you
if something goes wrong.
Deal.
NAME:
DOWNLOADING DATA.
Any news?
Nothing.
We found nothing
at Ronda's place.
No cameras, no files.
The bastard is on the loose
with his tools.
What did Mazzoni say?
What could he say?
That we did a great job,
to let somebody else go after him.
Take the day off,
yada yada yada.
You look tired.
Lets get drunk in a bar.
I can't.
I'm busy.
See you tomorrow.
"The search continues."
Nice picture.
Very nice indeed.
"The chief of police stated
"they are making every effort
to find Fernando Ronda,
and they expect good news
in the next 24 hours."
Well,
let's give these people
a break.
Come on.
Get up.
We're going for a walk.
Well done.
Is there something else
you need to know, Diaz?
Not at all.
Any news
about the congressman?
Not yet, but you will be
the first to know, trust me.
You're very kind.
Who knows?
Maybe you won't think
I'm so kind after all.
- Let me in.
- What's the matter?
- He's coming.
- Who?
He's coming, I need to hide
for 10 or 15 minutes.
Please.
Does it hurt?
A little.
I lent mom some money.
She can't pay me back today
like she said.
- And?
- He found out.
We're not exactly rich.
Of course he's angry.
In just five or ten minutes
he'll calm down.
That's enough time
to kill somebody.
- He won't kill me.
- He won't?
We have our fights.
What if he gets tired
of hitting you?
What when hitting you
isn't enough?
Mind your own business.
I
didn't mean to kill you.
I didn't enjoy killing you.
That wasn't my plan.
But
all of a sudden
you turned into a problem.
A problem alright.
A huge problem.
But anyway,
some things
are blessings in disguise.
Dad said that.
A blessing in disguise.
He was right.
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
- Yes?
- I hate drinking by myself.
- Why the boat?
- The bitch wants my boat.
She always complained
about your fishing trips.
I asked her why the hell
she wanted a boat.
Hello.
This is Renzo.
I'm on my way.
Marquez.
We found his ID on him.
The cops told us
about the arrest warrant.
Good.
Anything else?
Yes.
This.
There's the driver.
You're the driver?
It was too late to stop.
He jumped on the tracks?
Did he jump on the tracks?
No, he was lying there,
face down on the tracks.
Does that happen a lot?
Jumping in front
of a train?
Don't be ridiculous.
Lying face down on the tracks.
All suicides
do the same thing,
even lying face down
on the tracks.
- Marina. Renzo.
- You know it's late, right?
Yes, I just want you
to know we found him.
Run over by a train.
Do you need me there?
Not at all.
It's not a nice sight.
See you tomorrow then.
Alright.
Right.
Bad news?
No, quite the opposite.
I don't get it.
We've got everything.
Are you 100% sure?
Yes we are, the DNA test
showed a match
between Ronda's father
and the killer.
What else?
We found a newspaper clipping
with his photo,
so I guess he panicked
and killed himself.
Is there a motive?
A motive?
I guess he admired
his dad's photos very much,
the murders his dad
took pictures of,
which I guess he considered
works of art.
We have all we need
to call a press conference.
- I would wait a few days.
- Why?
Because we don't have answers
to all their questions.
We'll be sticking our necks out.
You know that.
The guys upstairs
will come at us too.
I am no rookie,
much less a baby, Mazzoni.
Please just inform them
on the phone.
You forget something.
The elections are in two months.
- And?
- A press conference is better.
I won't be there.
I am not a clown, sir.
I am not.
- Where are you going?
- To Miami.
- I hate jigsaw puzzles.
- I hate trains.
My God.
What have you got for me?
Be careful.
This guy is well connected.
He's protected
by some very important folks.
How important?
All the way up, so much so,
they're in the stratosphere.
What else?
He's the perfect cop.
He doesn't drink or smoke,
he pays his taxes.
He has a wife and a kid,
a mortgage and a dog.
A saint.
Be careful.
Your phone is bugged,
so watch what you say.
Got it.
I don't know why,
but they're watching you.
What now?
Get more information.
Thanks.
So, old man Ronda's son.
Did you know Ronda?
Yes, well, more or less.
Not really.
He got there, did his work,
and then went home.
He's the kind of guy
you never notice.
I didn't even know
he had a family.
Yes he did.
A mentally disturbed wife
and a psychopath son.
My God.
All that matters is
you solved the problem.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
What is it?
I wanted him alive.
There are lots
of unanswered questions.
We didn't find the gun,
or the files
of the crimes he copied.
I don't know, I just don't.
Maybe he worked
somewhere else.
Maybe.
Renzo, you've got a DNA match,
haven't you?
Plus his refusal
to give you a sample.
He was on the run.
There's no doubt in my mind.
Plus you know perfectly well
that with killers like him,
first you
have to arrest them,
and then if you can,
try to understand them.
Maybe.
Why don't you
stay for lunch?
How dare you?
What do you have
against me?
Nobody seems
to understand me.
I'm not eating
with your girlfriend.
I am 70 years old.
I won't be around much longer.
That's no reason
for me to stay.
You treat me like
some kind of traitor.
What did you
expect me to do?
Sit in this chair
waiting to die?
What did I expect?
You cheated on mom.
This relationship started
while mom was alive.
Alive?
For God's sake.
Your mom was a ghost
when I met Nuria.
You know she had been
a ghost for years.
She was sick.
More than just sick,
she was dying.
But I still talked to her.
What did you say to her?
I bathed her.
I brushed her hair and fed her
as I did for so long,
then I told her,
because I couldn't hide it
from her anymore.
I told her
because I had to.
And when I was done,
I swear to God,
she smiled at me.
I was more than just frank,
I might've been blunt,
and she smiled,
so my question is,
what is my crime?
I did everything I could
for your mother.
I was at your side
while you grew up,
until you let me,
and any way I could.
I've been sitting in this
chair for 15 years now,
with Nuria's help,
because she didn't
meet me like this.
But she didn't run away
when I ended up like this.
So I ask you,
why are you so offended?
Why are you
so ashamed of me?
What terrible thing
have I done,
so as not to deserve
your company?
Nothing, dad. It's okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Dad, I'm sorry.
- One at a time.
- How did you find Ronda?
Because of several factors.
First there was an intense
investigation
that was carried out
by the task force involved,
using the invaluable
resources
that forensic science
has placed at our disposal.
When I suggested
that we needed this new force,
I insisted that
they should be equipped
with the latest technology
available to fight crime.
Considering
that this was a killer
who seemed to think
human life was meaningless,
was it logical
for him to kill himself?
That is recisely
what madness is all about.
It is totally illogical.
Excuse me, but will those of us
who live in this city
be able to slee eacefully
after tonight?
You have my word.
He won't kill again.
They've been able
to stabilize him,
especially the pressure
on the brain.
- Are they going to operate?
- Only if there's no change.
Can he hear you?
We think he can.
But we don't know if he wants to.
- Keep me updated.
- Alright.
Relax, this takes a while.
"Minister declares case closed
after killer found dead."
You missed all the fun.
It was awesome, the cameras,
all those reporters.
We felt like rock stars.
Should I applaud you?
Whatever. What's wrong?
We're not rock stars, son.
We're cops, cops.
All we did was pick up
the pieces of a killer's body,
who we didn't even
find alive.
And that makes you proud?
I'm not.
What else could we do?
We identified him, didn't we?
We cornered him.
He panicked and killed himself.
So what's the problem?
What else could we do?
That's my question.
Justice isn't served
if we don't get them alive?
Where is the camera
and those files?
What was our source?
What? What?
Good morning.
I'm on my way.
- Bad news?
- You idiot.
That was rude.
So what if a finger's missing?
He was run over by a train.
Take a look.
Closer.
The missing finger
isn't that important.
The wound
is what really matters.
He was mutilated
long before the train hit him.
So?
Dogs supposedly attacked
the suspect in a warehouse.
I personally
examined the tissue
that was found
in the dog's mouth,
but there were
no corresponding wounds.
However I did find this.
This was done
with a sharp object.
I also found these.
Stop it.
Renzo,
Ronda died long before
the train hit him,
and he was strangled.
No way.
He was.
Those marks on his neck
prove it.
What about the DNA test?
We don't have much to go on,
just two.
So he could be
one of several killers.
An accomplice?
That's possible.
Or he's got a brother.
No way, the report says
Ronda had one son.
Reports go wrong.
Then I need a DNA test
of the killer and this poor man.
- Fine.
- Shit!
I sent the samples
to the lab.
I'll call you
as soon as I get the results.
The doctors say
the operation was successful.
I'm not in pain.
You look just fine
and I have good news for you.
They got the killer.
Where is he?
He's dead.
He jumped in front of a train.
I want to see him.
Alright, I'll take care of it.
Now I'd like
to run some tests.
I understand.
What do you understand?
You need to know
if I still have my gift.
Do you?
I don't know.
Do you want to know?
Just do it.
I need to see Mazzoni.
- What did Morini say?
- Ronda's son was already dead.
That's what a train
does to you.
Before that, you idiot!
Jerk.
We have a problem.
Morini says Ronda was dead
before the train hit him.
- Who could've done that?
- The monster we're after.
Don't we have a DNA match?
Between Ronda's dad
and the killer,
not between him
and his son.
The file says
he had just one son.
The file is wrong sir.
Yes?
Wejust got a call
from a hotolab downtown.
There's another
roll of film, Catain.
Shit!
What?
There's another roll of film.
Give me that address.
More pictures.
What?
It could be a mistake.
Whose mistake?
The photolab's mistake,
or ours?
The sun.
You need to get some rest.
I've lost it.
I won't know
until I run some more tests.
You're still under
the anesthetic.
Maybe it's for the best.
Your pictures.
Miss.
Yes?
When was it brought in?
First thing this morning.
At 8 a.m.
Do you remember his face?
Did he fill out a form?
Yes.
- Let me see it.
- Right away.
What?
My God!
Mazzoni,
please send some backup
to that address.
UP HERE.
Where did we go wrong?
I don't know.
Morini just called.
The DNA test proved
that Ronda's son
and the killer are siblings.
You think I should take Marquez
off the case?
Please don't.
His mouth.
His eyes and his ears.
Every single orifice
was plugged.
Just one nostril
was left unobstructed.
Upon making contact
with the acids, the carbide
Renzo.
- This isn't necessary.
- Just do it.
Upon making contact with
the acids and liquids,
the carbide produced gases
inside the body,
that couldn't find a way out.
His windpipe,
stomach and intestines
doubled in size,
and just before exploding
He was alive.
He was alive
before he blew up.
I love you, Dad.
