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?
- Doctor. - What have you done?
Nothing, he went crazy when he saw the picture.
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.
