What is this about the killer asking for you?
Yeah, the killer made him call me.
And why you?
It's obvious he has something against me.
Not just with you.
It looks like Laura Santini's name
appears on one of those tombstones.
Yeah, because she was also involved in the case.
- Get her an officer. - She already has one.
Don't worry. I'll call you.
"I'll call you"? There's something wrong here.
The only thing wrong was Benitez relying on you.
And look how he ended up?
I don't need some asshole
adding more deaths to my conscience.
Come on, a civilian is threatening you.
Order him to shoot me, take me out... forever,
you won't even have to pay me. Come on.
You took yourself out of this... five years ago.
I want back in, Jiménez.
Back into the force? It's nothing personal,
but I don't think the others would be very happy.
If that's how it is, you leave me no choice but to do it alone.
- What you threatening me? - No, I'm warning you.
Don't fuck with me. I'm not Benitez.
You don't say.
HERE LIES HE WHO REFUSED THE RIGHT THlNG
They should ban wakes.
Wakes or deaths?
Don't you ever stop working?
I have to go, I have a patient.
- I'll go with you. - It's not necessary.
We're next on his list, and it's not necessary?
I've already been assigned an officer.
Did you see what he did to Penalver and Benitez?
Do you think one cop is enough to stop that beast?
No, I don't think so.
I also don't think it's necessary
following me around like a shadow.
Let's not make this more difficult than it is.
You must be pretty good, you know?
That old man had a knack for picking talent.
He never stopped talking about Renzo Marquez.
The old man loved you.
Rest assured that if I could have chosen who to call
he would have called you.
If you hadn't retired,
I'd still be riding the bench.
Maybe.
But I retired.
They broke me, you know, in a very bad way.
But I swear to you that I can play this game
with one hand tied behind my back.
What, are you asking for my permission?
No.
I'm asking that we work as a team.
For Benitez.
Only for Benitez.
No one needs to find out. Off the record.
You heard Jiménez.
Let's clear something up.
Jiménez isn't a bad guy,
but he's got his eye on you.
- If he finds out... - He won't.
If you hide anything from me,
if you make a move without me, you're out.
Okay, I got it.
One more thing. I already have a dad.
and I'm a little too big to be the gopher.
Point well taken.
I'd start by talking to the parents of the kids who died.
- Let's go. - Where to?
To see one of the parents.
HERE LIES HE WHO REFUSED THE RIGHT THING AT THE WRONG TIME
- His name is Alberto Galvez. - Yeah, Mariano's father.
Good memory.
You can have it.
Let me do the talking.
It's still warm.
Anyone home?
- Something's not right. - No.
Are those the same ones that killed Benitez?
How would I know?
Do you have a gun on you?
No.
I have one on my belt. Do you feel it?
Yes.
Take it.
That one's mine.
Easy.
The safety is on.
Take it easy.
- I'm not sure if I can get it. - Do you have any other ideas?
No.
- Ready? - Yeah.
On the count of three.
One...
two...
If I shoot from here, I'll blow your brains out.
Mr. Galvez.
Give me a reason not to shoot.
I'm a cop.
I don't think it's a good reason
but it makes sense, right?
I have my badge in my pocket.
I have to see it to believe it.
Watch your little hand.
What do you want?
We want to ask you some questions.
100, 200, 300,
400, 500, 600.
700, 800, 900, 1,000.
It's all yours, sir.
Do you remember Santiago Penalver?
What do you think?
Did you know they found him dead?
Yeah, I don't live in a shell.
How did you feel when you found out?
I hope he suffered a lot.
A lot.
Do you remember Benitez?
I don't know him.
The detective in charge of the operation
the day Penalver killed your son.
Yes, Benitez, yes.
Did something happen to him?
He was murdered.
Some son of a bitch put two dogs in his house.
Two dogs very similar to yours.
I didn't know.
Now you do. How does it feel?
I don't. Did he suffer?
Martin.
Yes, he suffered a lot, Mr. Galvez.
I know because I was there.
Of course I don't know if he suffered as much as your son.
Okay, enough, Galvez.
Where were you between 1:00 AM and 2:30 AM yesterday morning?
- Are you interrogating me? - Where were you?
- I want to talk to my lawyer. - You won't need one, bastard.
Renzo! Renzo!
Mr. Galvez is right. Let's do it the right way.
Let's go.
Will you take care of the dogs or will I have to?
Don't worry...
they're tame.
Hello?
I saw you at Benitez's burial.
You looked very pretty.
Who is this?
The one who organized Benitez's burial.
Okay, I'm listening.
I'll be brief. I want you two together.
- Who? - You know.
Actually I don't.
I'm talking about you and Renzo, I want you two together.
- He must not know. - Why?
You'll know why soon enough.
I don't need to explain your reasons to you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about passion, Laura.
He has a thing for you,
and you feel exactly the same way for him.
My problem is that there's nothing more...
uncomfortable than passion.
And it turns out that you're a very comfortable woman.
I don't know where you get that.
You're pissing me off, Laura. Don't underestimate me.
I know everything.
Everything about you, your ex-husband,
your cute little son. For example,
I know he gets out of school in exactly 15 minutes.
You leave my son alone.
That's up to you.
- Have you seen Nico? - No, I think he already left.
Okay, kids, see you tomorrow. Bye.
- Nico. - I thought Dad was coming.
Mom came instead. Can I have a hug?
This needs your signature.
Ah, thank you.
Did you read the paper?
It looks like ghosts return.
What? Nonsense so early in the morning?
Let's see.
Gory Discovery
Do you remember Santiago Penalver?
It's what I'm owed, Graciela.
You know it's true, you know it's fair.
Don't put me in this situation, please, professor.
- I can't do anything. - Yes you can!
- Sign a check and that's it. - That's enough.
Don't make me call the police.
- You won't sign that check? - I can't do anything.
Then...
call the police.
Keep it, I already read it. I'll get out of your hair.
- She's blonde? - Yes, she is.
- How about you? - I...
not me.
No?
- Is something wrong? - No, why?
Tuesdays are my day with my son.
I just felt like seeing him. Will you take that?
Let's go, Nico.
I don't mind if he stays with you today.
I want to stay with both of you.
No, not a good idea. I have a lot of work to do.
Do you want me to drop him off later or will you pick him up?
Call me later, will you?
Take care of him. Bye, sweetheart.
We could have dinner together, couldn't we?
No.
Hang on, Nico. I need to talk to Mom.
Are you... seeing somebody?
You know I'm not.
No. I don't know much about you these days.
It's natural for you to feel that way.
We haven't lived together for six months.
You know what I mean.
I'm running late. I have to go.
I want you together. I mean you and Renzo.
I want you two together, and he must not know.
You're pissing me off, Laura.
I'm talking about passion.
Don't underestimate me. I know everything.
About you, your ex-husband,
about your cute little boy.
For example, he gets out of school
in exactly 1 5 minutes.
That's up to you.
Okay, call me if you hear anything.
So?
Jiménez issued a search warrant.
That's good.
Can you cut the onions, please?
Yeah.
What's wrong, Renzo?
I'm just thinking about Galvez. It was too easy.
Too fast.
However, all the pieces fit together.
You have motive, the weapons, in other words the dogs,
- and on top of that-- -...not to mention luck.
He spent five years planning it
and we crack the case in 24 hours.
Record time, don't you think?
I got it.
- Is something wrong? - No.
- I need to talk. - Yeah, me too.
- Let's take a walk. - Okay.
- What do we have? - It looks like nobody's home.
It would be better to just go straight in.
Remember, the dogs are our evidence.
I'm in the wrong business.
Jiménez.
Check this out.
Call the morgue.
It's been confirmed, sir.
- The dogs were poisoned. - Thanks, Arturo.
Did he live alone?
Yeah, his wife killed herself four years ago.
Look at this.
Four dead in Aleman School incident
Laura, today at the cemetery I didn't mean to...
Today at the cemetery I was abrupt with you.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
You're right.
There's no reason for me to be your shadow.
Besides, I'm sure he's good at what he does.
Yeah, maybe.
But I'd feel better if you were a little closer.
I don't get it.
I got separated six months ago.
And...?
That's it.
It think there's more.
There's a reason why you're telling me.
Doctor.
Detective Jiménez just called me.
Is it about Galvez?
- Is it about Galvez? - Yes.
He showed up dead: him and the dogs.
Did you talk to the court authorities?
Okay, get in contact with one of Galvez's relatives.
That way they can claim the body.
Yes, everything has been signed.
Thank you.
How did you know about Galvez?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're not very smart.
The officer accompanying the doctor told me.
He told me that you asked about him.
Fine, Jiménez, I knew.
What did you think I was going to do,
sit around and wait for this animal to come after me?
Martin?
I know as much as you, sir.
Okay. It's all over.
Hop in your taxi and get lost.
- Case closed. - Case closed?
You really think so?
It doesn't matter what I think.
Forensics discovered that Galvez's dogs,
were the same ones that killed Benitez.
Furthermore,
we know that he had a son named Mariano,
one of the four kids killed at that school.
We have motive, the weapons...
case closed.
- What more do you want? - For you to be right, Jiménez.
Let's go.
Oh my God!
Fucking asshole.
How can he be so stubborn?
- Do you think this is over? - No.
Something tells me it's not.
Maybe you need it to continue.
For what to continue?
This, the killer appears and he...
gets us back together.
Maybe you're looking for something
that will bring us back together.
- Are you analyzing me? - I'm trying to understand.
Understand what? What do you want to understand?
I tell you what I think, what I feel.
There's nothing to understand.
Let's go.
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Nico wanted to sleep here, so I brought him over.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong is that you supposedly didn't have keys,
that you don't live here anymore,
that you should have called-- Shall I continue?
But what's going on?
Did someone loan you the perfect divorce manual?
Or are you maybe seeing someone?
Please, I didn't have a good day.
I understand.
You want to play the good divorce game.
- No. - Don't fuck with me.
I'm trying to be civilized and nice.
Don't make me change my mind.
Sleep tight.
Can you believe that asshole closed the case?
Solve it yourself.
I'm not a cop anymore.
You can go back and make sure it gets done right.
They avoid me as if I were a leper.
Maybe they're right.
Show them they're not.
Let's not talk about it anymore, dad.
All right. Then don't complain.
- Cab 121. - Go ahead, base.
You have to go pick up a package downtown.
Send someone else, I'm too far.
Negative, they requested your cab.
- Okay, where's it at? - Take the...
- Mom? - What?
Will you, Dad, and l
ever sleep together again?
We already talked about that, dear. I don't know.
Okay, let's go. We're late.
- Cab 121? - That's right, 121.
Why did you ask for this cab in particular?
I was 25 miles away, man.
The client requested it.
He gave us your company's name and the cab number.
What client?
The one who ordered the tombstone.
HERE LIES HE WHO REFUSED THE RIGHT THING AT THE WRONG TIME
I already told you, I don't know his name.
- What did he look like? - But I never saw him.
- What do you want me say? - You think I'm an idiot?
Renzo!
You say he ordered three tombstones from you.
This one and two before it.
Yes, he always sends me... the designs by fax.
How does he pay?
He paid the first two in cash.
He sent the money with some... motorcycle delivery company.
How about this one?
He paid with this check.
It's a check from the school with yesterday's date.
10,400 pesos.
Much more than what a tombstone would cost.
10,400 pesos is what the school owed Penalver,
but they didn't want to pay him.
The message is clear.
Crystal clear.
Did he order any more tombstones?
No, he said this was the last one.
- Where are you going? - To deliver it.
Hello?
Hello, Laura. It's not over.
No, you listen to me.
Galvez is not the killer--
Or at least he's not the only one involved in this.
Stay where you are, don't leave for any reason.
I'll pick you up as soon as I can.
No.
Laura, this isn't about us.
I'm not looking for a reason to see you.
Martin...
Iet's go, man.
Easy on the yelling.
- Relax, Renzo. - I'm good.
Then put your gun away.
It's open.
Martin, do you have gloves?
Do you know her?
Graciela Bottini, the school's treasurer.
Coins.
Her mouth is full of coins.
- Where's Elsa? - At home.
I didn't know you were picking me up today.
Me neither, but I had some free time so I thought I'd come.
Don't you like that your mom came to pick you up?
Yeah, of course I do.
Mom, will you read this for me?
You can't read?
I can, but I don't understand what it says.
I'm nearby you know what I want...
Who gave you that?
The clown gave it to me.
...I want you two together.
I'm talking about you and Renzo, I want you two together
but he must not know.
- So what do you think? - That this guy's playing us.
He made us think that we were next on his list.
And now we know that maybe there are more.
- What about Galvez? - A decoy.
- He used him as an accomplice. - Yeah, or maybe both things.
I want to know more about Galvez and the dogs.
Talk to the neighbors,
ask them about his schedules,
- if he ever had visitors... - I know how to do my job.
Okay, okay.
Have them put a watch on Dr. Santini, please.
I know how to do my job.
I'm going in.
Mom, what's happening?
Nothing, Nico.
Does your tummy hurt?
Mom is fine. Go play.
Ever since the incident with his wife,
he closed himself off.
Any visitors?
The one who walked the dogs.
- He didn't walk the dogs? - No.
Some man would come by every morning,
he'd pick them up early and came back in the evening.
They would come back very tired.
- What did the man look like? - Tall, thin--
Young?
At my age, everyone looks young.
He came in a truck, he went inside,
picked up the dogs.
I never got a good look at him.
Do you remember the first time you saw him?
About three or four years ago, I'm not very sure.
Okay.
Well, thank you, ma'am.
Shall I walk you home?
Yes, thank you.
This is Renzo and I need to see you.
He's asleep.
If you need anything I'm on my cell, Elsa, okay?
Not to worry, ma'am.
- Thanks for staying. - Thank you.
Ma'am?
Be careful.
The streets are dangerous.
Yes.
- Do you have the stuff? - Hello, Clara.
Thanks for coming on this lovely evening.
Is it really that bad?
Hello, Clara, thanks for coming.
- Do you wanna talk about it? - No.
- The doctor's back? - Enough, Clara.
It's a long story. That's enough already.
I have all the time in the world.
But I don't feel like it.
Me neither.
Shit.
No, no, no, no!
What are you doing here? Are you crazy?
- I needed to see you. - What for?
I don't understand.
Some things are impossible to understand.
- Hello? - Very good, Laura.
Your son will thank you for the rest your life.
- Who was it? - Wrong number.
