Epitafios (2004) s02e10 Episode Script

It's like an anatomy class
in the dissection room.
Like he was
showing someone
how to kill.
Who was his pupil?
- Is it the same guy?
- I think so.
It's the colleague
we found dead.
That's not necessary.
Only his wife
doesn't care he's missing.
Isn't that weird?
I don't know. Maybe.
What?
Diaz tried to kill me.
You got yourself
in this mess.
You tried to ruin my life,
and you did,
so now you're on your own.
I don't know and I don't care
what happened to the bastard.
But if it is what I think it is,
you'd better tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
- I won't say a word.
- I know that.
I'd say it's the same kid.
- Is he the same kid or not?
- The evidence is clear.
Our investigation
depends on this, understood?
You need to reconstruct
a face from a skull.
This way please.
Look at this.
His clothes were on.
We had to clean them up
very carefully.
Humidity, time and decomposition
affected the body tissue.
But we did
get a few samples,
enough to know the color,
the design,
the details,
and this monogram.
See that?
Take a look over here.
Shit, we're back
where we started.
- Not really.
- He's not the killer, he's dead.
Even if we rule him out,
he knew Suncho
from the way he killed him.
Back where we started.
They found four more bodies.
We'll have a face soon.
We're working on it.
What about his clothes?
It's not that easy.
We'll have a report in 72 hours.
I can't wait that long.
We'll do what we can,
but we're reconstructing
some very old events.
Most importantly,
we need to know
when they died, in what order.
You know your job.
Give us a call.
Thanks.
The killer didn't follow
his own pattern.
He started by making him
swallow the carbide,
then he did the same thing
he did to Klur,
and finished him off
by doing what he did to Picardi.
Why?
Carbide causes
a very slow death.
It takes at least 15 minutes.
Enough time to kill him
in two other ways,
while he was alive.
My God.
If it's any consolation,
the bastard
didn't have his way.
How come?
He died of a heart attack
after swallowing the carbide.
In a way, your buddy
managed to escape.
Dr. Morini.
Excuse me.
What's this?
An unidentified male,
four bullet wounds.
Three to the chest,
one to the head.
- Where was he found?
- In the street.
Thanks.
My God,
he's about my son's age.
Calm down, Alfonso.
Alfonso, calm down.
You're here, it's okay.
That's it. It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
Hi.
Is that okay?
It can't wait, right?
That scumbag's
still killing people.
We're very confused.
We've got some leads,
but they're like pieces
of a puzzle that don't fit.
Understand?
I think you can help me.
Okay.
One of the leads is a picture
we found in an old lab.
We think Suncho was killed
because he was working on it.
Did you hear me?
Let me see it.
That kid will kill me.
He can't.
He will. I just saw him.
I've been seeing him
in my dreams for 15 years.
That's impossible.
He died more than 15 years ago.
He's alive alright. Trust me.
Not this kid.
We found his body.
We reconstructed
his face, look.
It's him. It's the same kid.
He can't hurt you,
Can you hear me?
- He'll kill me.
- What?
He was waiting for me
in that filthy basement.
Do you know
where it is, Alfonso?
I went walking down
a lonely road.
Where?
- There's a gated garden.
- But where?
And there's an old wooden door
at the front too.
Where?
I don't know, it was blurred.
I was there, damn it!
- Calm down.
- Where were you, where?
- Please, Renzo.
- Where?
Please.
Calm down, calm down,
it's okay.
It's okay, Alfonso. It's okay.
What happened?
He's sedated, his bad dreams
and hallucinations are normal.
It's normal
to dream about a real kid?
No, he says he dreamed
about a kid.
- Why would he lie?
- I didn't say he lied.
What did you say?
that obviously upset him.
Then he wakes up,
and you show him a face,
which he holds on to
as a self-defense reflex.
Thanks.
What self-defense reflex?
What do you mean?
Is predicting
four murders a reflex?
- Ground floor?
- Yes.
We both know
Aren't his dreams
part of his gift?
Let's consider
the possibility.
He was in the house,
but he can't remember
the address.
That's the same as nothing.
There has to be a way
to make him remember, Doctor.
Isn't there a way?
Yes there is,
but it's a huge risk.
He might not be able
to handle it.
I'm not taking that risk.
Okay.
I can't force you.
Of course not.
- Keep me updated.
- Of course.
His sister.
He introduced her to me.
Should I talk with her?
Yes, about the pictures
that scumbag took off the wall.
He spoke a lot about you
and your nose, Mariano.
Also about Renzo
and Marina.
He was so proud
to be with the Department.
It was an honor
to work with him too.
We'll do all we can
to find that bastard.
Why did they
do this to him?
Your brother
reconstructed a face.
We think he was killed
because that face
would lead us to the killer.
I know what
how hard this is.
I really do,
but we need your help.
We have to move fast.
I need to ask you
a few questions.
Alright.
What do you need to know?
She didn't say much.
Suncho was very discreet
about his job.
Did she mention
the pictures?
Not at all, she knows nothing.
She never entered the room.
Suncho let nobody inside.
- Any friends?
- A couple from grade school.
- Any names?
- Yes.
Any women?
Just one long-term
relationship.
They planned to get married
and have a family.
They split up
after moving in together.
- Anything else?
- No.
- We should focus on the photos.
- I agree.
I'll talk to the girlfriend.
See you later.
- Feel better now?
- Yes.
I just can't believe it
after all this time.
- Can we talk about him?
- Sure, how can I help you?
- You lived at his place, right?
- For a while.
He collected pictures.
Pretty weird ones.
Did you ever see them?
I saw his pictures.
He
was sick.
He didn't know it,
but he was.
I didn't know it either,
until one day,
I went in there.
All those dead eole
were killed so horribly.
What kind of person
collects pictures like those?
Maria.
I already
got rid of the body.
- Don't talk to me like that.
- Leave me alone.
I saw how the bastard
treated you.
I wouldn't be surprised
if you killed him.
Shut up,
I didn't kill him, he left.
- He did?
- Yes.
Why is his car out here?
He owed me money
so he left it.
Sure, sure.
Nice guy your husband.
What do you
know about my husband?
What have you heard?
Just the yelling.
Who the hell are you
to meddle in my life?
Go away.
Now.
Forensic file ictures.
That's what the scumbag
took from Suncho's place.
Looks like Suncho
collected them for years.
Why?
You knew Suncho.
He collected photos, butterflies.
What?
Not why he collected them.
Why did the killer want them?
Because they
could take us to him.
Why?
No idea.
Suncho's expense logs.
What the hell
are all these numbers?
Forensic Department codes
for a roll of film.
Reference number,
date and price.
This is what linked
Suncho to the killer.
Suncho bought his pictures.
What are you saying?
The killer
supplied his pictures?
Or they both
had the same supplier.
So all we need
is a list of customers.
I already requested
a copy of each photo.
- Good.
- It'll take a few days.
- Everything takes a few days.
- Renzo Marquez?
Yes.
New evidence.
Let's see.
Identifying her is tough
after more than 15 years.
We need to revisit Ronda's wife
at the mental clinic.
We believe that Ronda
knew all his victims, right?
Right.
If he did, so did his wife.
She can identify her.
Probably.
You go. I didn't do too well.
Okay, I'm on my way.
What do we do meanwhile?
I need a report for Mazzoni.
The Secretary of the Interior
and the media want answers.
Suncho's death
stoked the fire.
What do I say?
Lie.
Lie and say
we're on the killer's tracks.
So, have you
made up your mind?
No, not yet.
What are you waiting for?
What little time we gained
with Suncho's death is ending.
They're close.
Very close.
I know.
But
I need to think.
Think about what?
Just pick a picture
of the guy dad admired,
and continue
with our work, you idiot.
Why don't you do it
if it's so easy?
- Who are you talking to?
- I was just thinking out loud.
Stop thinking
and do this right now.
Alright.
Suncho.
Suncho.
You see?
This makes matters worse.
We need to make a decision
right away.
They are so selfish.
They only want my bread.
They think I'm stupid.
They fly away
if there's no bread.
Yes.
I know.
You do?
I loved feeding them
when I was a kid.
They swooped down
when I got there,
but when the food was gone
they flew away.
I know. They're so selfish.
I'd like
to show you something.
What?
Some photos.
I hate photos.
I don't want to see them.
I think they could be
very interesting.
For whom?
For both of us.
For you maybe.
Besides,
why would
I want to see them?
You're right.
Why would you want
to see a kid's photos?
A child?
We found them
in your husband's lab.
With the picture
of a woman.
I thought
maybe you knew them.
But you had no reason
to know
all of your husband's
acquaintances.
So I apologize.
Thanks anyway. Bye.
Wait.
Let me see them.
Okay.
That's your
husband's boy, right?
Do you know her?
Do you know her name?
That piece of shit.
Bitch. Whore.
The whore
stole him from me.
I trusted her.
Why wouldn't I trust her?
She didn't care.
She put a spell on him.
Her identity
is very important to us
forjustice to be served,
understand?
Justice?
Elisa.
The whore!
Who is Elisa?
My
sister.
My sister.
I wiped her ass
when she was a kid.
She's my sister.
She's my sister, my sister.
It's okay ma'am.
It's okay.
Thank you so much.
Isn't that funny?
Yes, it is funny.
Thank you.
What?
Elisa Graziano.
She was 38
when she went missing.
She is Emilio Ronda's
wife's sister.
Yes.
Let's see. Let's see.
Emilio Ronda had a lover.
His wife's sister.
They have a son.
There is a DNA match.
The kid is his son.
He was murdered,
He says so because
there're two of them.
Emilio Ronda
and his lover had twins.
What?
Not only were this woman
and her son reported missing,
her mom, her husband
and her elder son were too.
Where's the other twin?
He was adopted two months after
from an orphanage.
Ronda didn't support him?
Who adopted him?
We need a court order
that takes two days.
No way.
- Are you sure?
- Yes. Get the court order.
- What if we're wrong?
- We're not.
This is Mazzoni.
Get me Judge Arrieta.
Good morning, Sister.
- Did you say 1981?
- That's right.
I'm sure this is it.
Eight or nine years old.
- Here it is.
- Yes?
Yes, here it is.
This is him alright.
He was adopted
Very nice people.
His age didn't matter at all.
But we didn't really want
to let them have him,
because of their age,
they were in their sixties.
Of course.
But after
we interviewed them,
they were exactly
what the boy needed.
Why?
Very respectable people.
Not too strict,
but disciplined.
And that was exactly
what the boy needed.
Why did he need
exactly that?
Because he was so difficult.
Once he assaulted
a kid with a hammer
while he was asleep.
And he ran away.
He ran away three times.
Even the elder kids
were scared of him
because he was so violent.
Can I have the address?
Sure, it's a big old house,
but it's so well-kept,
you'll see.
Do you think the kid
changed his name?
They usually
change their names.
They change names
like their appearance.
Yes, go ahead please.
That's okay.
Good.
Thanks.
Good luck.
I want to do it.
What do you mean?
The hypnosis thing.
I can't approve
of that procedure
for a patient like you,
Alfonso.
I have to stop him.
There are other ways
we can help you sleep.
With drugs?
That's a possibility.
You don't get it.
I don't mind the insomnia.
I just need to stop him.
Why don't you
think about it some more?
I will.
Whether you help me or not.
I will.
Yes?
It's Gabriela.
Yes?
I agreed
When?
At ten o'clock tomorrow.
Where?
May I?
Lagos, I just got a call.
There's another roll of film.
I hope it's a false alarm,
or lots of people
will want our heads.
ROOM 11.
Weren't you against this?
I still am.
He took full responsibility
for everything.
- Dr. Brosky, Renzo Marquez.
- Nice to meet you.
- Same here.
- We're ready when you are.
Whenever you say, Doctor.
Sir. He was one of us.
Sorry I'm late.
Diaz.
You knew him?
He was working
on the Achaval case.
Something doesn't add up.
- What?
- Why did he pick him?
He's obviously
after us cops, Mariano.
But he didn't close the case.
Not as far as I know.
So he broke
rule number one.
The case is open.
He had no reason to kill him.
Plus he's always chosen
high-profile cases,
and this one
certainly wasn't.
You're right. Any ideas?
Maybe it's a copycat.
Someone with a score to settle
imitated our killer.
That's possible.
It's an investigation,
Mariano.
I think I know who it was.
Who?
You did it, Marina.
I hope you can explain
what you're saying.
It's your scent.
Your scent
is all over the place.
On the body, the gun,
everywhere.
I need to warn you,
that only you can snap out of it
once we get started.
You must say "Freedom"
to get disconnected.
Freedom.
Whatever happens,
if you feel you're in danger
you'll say?
Freedom.
Please begin now.
Please switch
your cellphones off.
Use your headphones.
Alfonso,
I need you to concentrate.
Imagine you are
within a dark circle.
You aren't here anymore.
The circle
is starting to expand.
Close your eyes.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Where are you?
I don't know.
My God!
What is it?
Photos.
What kind of photos?
Forensic photos.
Where are you?
In
a basement.
Get out of there.
Head for the street.
Come back.
- Please stop, Doctor.
- No, I can't. Come back to me.
Come back, come back!
Head for the street.
Come back.
Come back, come back.
Freedom.
Alfonso.
Don't let him
keep killing people.
