TThe cops showed up.
They got lucky.
It wasn't luck.
That animal must be wondering how we knew.
They knew you'd show up.
We think the killer is a copycat, and his first victim, Klur,
has a lot to do with the case you closed.
So you think he wants to copy the D'Angelo case I closed?
I don't get it. Why not some other case?
Instinct, dad.
I need any information you have
that links him to the killer.
I suggest placing his picture in the media.
I'll send a photographer over there tomorrow.
HELP US IDENTIFY THIS MAN. CALL 0-800-IDENTIFICATION.
I killed a guy.
- Why tell me? - There's nobody else.
Have a glass of warm milk,
and count thousands of sheep jumping over the body.
The thing is I enjoyed it.
I thought you never wanted to see me again.
Hello.
I'm on my way.
DR. PEDRO VERA. NEUROPSYCHIATRIC CLINIC.
He was a good man.
He didn't deserve this.
Right.
What's that noise?
It's the multi-sensor alarm,
that goes off when the data stops flowing.
XL was connected to it.
- Can't you shut it off? - They won't let me in.
- Have you found XL? - Not yet.
Renzo.
Should we take him to the lab?
Of course, sweetheart.
I'm sorry.
Take a look at this.
Cover him.
At least we know when it happened.
At nine fifteen.
He was facing the killer.
He didn't defend himself.
What are you doing here?
What does that mean?
He could've known the killer.
Only those three guys were here, and they're all dead.
Who could it be?
XL.
That's impossible.
We don't know that.
In his state, he couldn't even walk, much less do something like this.
Mariano.
Have several groups of two officers
search for him three blocks around here.
Search the offices, the hallways and XL's own room.
Alright.
And turn off that damn alarm!
Marina, let's go.
- Smell anything? - No, just the rain.
He killed him here,
and dragged him over there, so it wasn't XL.
That doesn't prove anything.
We need to know the order in which they were killed.
- We do know something. - What?
- The time the nurse died. - Not enough.
We also have that alarm system.
It should have recorded XL's vital signs,
including the exact time it was disconnected.
Very good. Let's go.
Okay, so your theory is,
it wasn't XL who killed those three people.
It's not a theory sir. The nurse died at 1: 15.
They slammed his head against the clock at 1: 15.
According to these records, XL was permanently monitored.
He got out of the coma four minutes later, at 1: 19 a.m.
Four minutes?
Were the clocks synchronized?
Four minutes is not such a huge difference
between two clocks.
- That's what it says. - Lf it wasn't XL, who did it?
That animal that went after Klur and my dad.
Motive?
Getting rid of XL,
since thanks to him, my dad escaped.
How did he know that?
He must know XL, so when we saw the picture,
he recognized XL, and went after him.
Why not earlier?
- What do I know, sir? - Did he take XL with him?
It's possible.
Possible? I need some solid answers here.
A day has 24 hours, Mazzoni. What can we do?
Find that animal, you hear me?
He got away.
The son-of-a-bitch got away.
What did you expect?
We're talking about Velásquez, so it was only logical.
What do you mean by logical?
I was supposed to go there and kill him.
No,
that was not the plan.
There was another plan.
But what...
...plan?
Isolating him, understand? Isolating him.
He is all alone, confused,
scared.
Velásquez, scared?
Confused?
Where did you get that?
Let's see. I thought you were a smart guy.
Why do you think the cops
had his picture put up all over the place,
asking the public to help them identify him?
Answer me, you idiot. Why?
Because you don't remember.
That's why.
Great!
He is all alone,
out there.
He's never been here before.
We have turned him into a rat.
A scared rat.
Yes, but...
...he still has the gift.
That will be his downfall.
Trust me.
I'll explain it to you.
Don't worry.
What are you doing here?
Who are you?
Good morning sir. Can we have a word with you?
Have you seen him?
No, I've never seen him before.
Is he dangerous?
We aren't sure, he ran away from a mental hospital.
Can we take a look?
I said I haven't seen him.
He could be hiding in such a big place.
In here?
How could he hide from all these dogs?
They can't stand strangers.
Will that be all?
That's all for now. We appreciate your cooperation.
Please. Any time.
Goodbye.
How are you?
I said...
...how are you?
Are you deaf or what?
At least we know you're not deaf.
This is not for you.
Did you know the cops are looking for you?
All I know is that you ran away from that clinic.
They say you're dangerous.
I don't think so.
My dogs like you.
And that's weird.
Because they...
...can smell it.
They have that special gift, they can smell...
...stupidity.
Violence.
Insanity and evil.
But they've ignored you.
I don't know who you are,
but I can see...
...that the cops are very interested in you.
So I ask myself something.
What are you worth?
And there's something else.
Who am I protecting?
A blank check?
Or a death certificate?
But definitely...
...you must have family, or friends,
who would pay to find you.
Do you?
You'd better remember.
Yes, you'd better remember alright.
I'd even say it's a matter of life or death.
Of life or death.
My question is how did the killer find XL.
Nobody out there knew he was in the clinic.
How did he find him so quickly?
There aren't many options. Maybe the court records.
- Or from the department itself. - My money is on the court.
Court records are bought and sold.
So why wasn't he killed in the clinic?
No, maybe he did kill him and took the body.
- Lagos. - I have a call about XL.
- Put it through. It's about XL. - Alright.
It's about the man in the picture.
Do you know him?
That deends.
Is there some kind of reward for this information?
Where can we meet to talk about it?
I'm not that stupid.
No, no, no, nobody said you are.
Don't try to make a fool out of me.
I asked you a simple question.
There's no reward for the time being, but...
Well that's too bad.
Think about it if you really want him.
Take it easy. No, don't hang up on me!
Son of a bitch!
What happened?
I'm not sure, but I think XL escaped.
This guy insinuated that he knows where he is.
How come?
We told the public to help us identify XL,
not that we're looking for him.
This man asked if there was a reward.
How could he know we're looking for him?
So he escaped.
That explains why he wasn't killed in the clinic.
Our killer must be worried.
He's slipping up a lot.
We're not even close. He can slip up all he wants.
That's why we need to find XL first.
By sitting here waiting for that one call?
Do you have a better idea? What is it?
Forget it.
I'm sure it's a great idea. What is it? Answer me!
Could we calm down a little?
I'm fine.
I'm going to see Morini about the bodies.
Yes?
What?
I'll be right over.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
You look drawn.
I haven't had any sleep in 24 hours.
- So go home. - That's what I'm doing.
Sorry I'm late. I didn't sleep well last night.
I don't want to hear it. That's your problem.
I'm really sorry.
I swear this will never happen again.
Yeah, right. I'm not covering for you ever again.
I understand. I owe you one.
Just one? Several.
Okay, I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry.
Shut up. Forget it.
Get to work.
Thanks.
You know something?
We need to start working on our next victim.
We need to pick him out.
It's too risky, Velásquez could find out again.
That's the idea.
I think it's too risky.
But so is sitting around, waiting.
A congressman?
I didn't know who he was until I saw his ID.
Die already, you son of a bitch! Die, die!
Why doesn't he just die? Why, why, why?
Shut up!
Nice mess you got yourself in.
- You've got to help me. - I'm not your partner.
You're a cop.
You know what to do in these cases.
How could you accept a congressman?
He didn't say so.
He was recommended. I thought that was enough.
Well it wasn't.
Do we wait until he dies or...?
Or what?
- You know what I mean. - No I don't.
Or kill him now?
- That would be murder. - Please! He's already half dead.
No coroner would say so.
He's breathing, he has a pulse, he's technically alive.
One gunshot could be called suicide,
but two would be definitely murder.
Clean this mess up.
- What is this? - What?
I asked you to sort these calls. What is this?
We got more than 150 calls.
I was lucky to answer all of them.
Mariano. Mariano.
- Renzo. - What is that?
It was outside the clinic by the first body.
- What else? - The killer is ambidextrous.
What?
Why ambidextrous?
Come.
Take a look.
The wound is 8 inches deep from right to left.
But this one...
...was from left to right, like that.
Maybe there are two killers?
No, the same weapon was used on all three victims,
eight inches deep, from the same distance.
What a son-of-a-bitch.
What else?
It's the same pattern. These are not hate crimes.
- What about the hair? - It's not from the victims.
Good job.
What about you?
Tons of phone calls sorted like crap.
Anything interesting?
I'll find out this evening.
I'd appreciate your help if you're not busy.
I'd like some supper.
Order something.
There's a Chinese restaurant close by.
I hate Chinese food.
And I hate overtime.
Chinese is fine.
Marina.
Renzo.
Were you asleep?
Are you okay?
Yes I'm fine. Do you need me for something?
You could help me sort those phone calls.
I don't think I can.
I promised to give my body 8 hours of sleep.
How about tomorrow?
No problem.
Okay.
Okey, get some rest.
I'll do that.
That's deep enough.
- You think so? - They'll never find him here.
Keep on digging.
Nobody will come all the way out here to...
Dig, bitch.
You call these noodles?
Never again.
This looks interesting.
What?
A woman says XL is really Alfonso Velásquez,
who she met two years ago.
Where?
She hired him to find her missing daughter.
A cop?
FBI?
I'm tired. What?
A psychic.
A psychic?
Why are you in here?
Get out.
Out!
Who is she?
Is she a friend of yours, or a relative?
All I need to know
is if she'd be willing to pay to find you.
And I hope she is,
because I'm getting tired of looking after a vegetable.
I'm getting tired of you too, you fucking dogs!
Get out.
Thanks
I didn't do it for you, asshole, it was my gun you shot.
Who cares? What matters is...
Don't come looking for me again, is that clear?
Disappear, go away, kill yourself,
just stay away from me, you hear me?
If I ever see you again, I'll kill you.
Get out.
Her name is Salinas.
She says she met him two years ago,
and his name is Velásquez, but...
Are you with me?
Yes.
The interesting thing is, she says he's psychic.
Cecilia never did anything like that.
She was a teenager, but she was very respectful.
At least until she met Rocco.
Who?
Rocco, the man that killed her.
The last time I saw her alive,
they were leaving the house together.
He was her boyfriend.
Her very first.
I still can't understand why he did that.
If it hadn't been for Velásquez,
that bastard would've gotten away with it.
Mrs. Salinas, we need...
I know, I know.
You want me to talk about Velásquez.
You said that you contacted Velásquez?
No, he was the one that contacted us.
He saw her picture on the Internet.
Her friends put it online, since my husband and I...
He contacted you. And what did he say?
The truth.
He said there was nothing we could do to save her,
but that he knew where the body was.
I couldn't listen to him, just imagine,
some man I had never met was on the phone,
telling me my daughter was dead, so I just hung up.
He insisted all day long but I didn't answer the phone.
The next day he came over to my place.
He knocked at the door.
I knew I could trust him as soon as I saw him.
He asked for her picture, he looked at her,
and tears poured down his face.
Then he asked for a map,
and marked a spot, a very precise spot.
And he was right.
They buried her alive.
Can you imagine that? They had buried her alive.
Who is it?
I don't work so late.
But I can make an exception.
What's in the bag?
You want me to dress up?
Come right in.
I'll take a quick shower, handsome.
There's some beer in the refrigerator.
What's going on?
I think the Salinas case links the killer to XL.
But I need to confirm what she said.
Suncho's working on it.
We're going to see Dr. Friedman when he's done.
Yes Mazzoni?
I'll be right up. Mazzoni wants to see me.
- Renzo. - Yes?
Here you are.
IShit! Let's go. Move it.
Don't worry, I'll make it quick.
Yes sir.
I saw it too, sir.
Yes.
Come in.
Yes.
You have my full support sir.
Don't worry about it.
Yes sir. Yes. Yes.
The boss.
What do you think?
About what?
About the current, ongoing investigation.
It's a complex case, but we're getting there.
Do you trust Marquez?
What kind of question is that?
I need the opinion of an expert homicide detective.
I think Renzo's doing a great job.
And the others?
We're a team, if that's your question.
That is my question.
Is there a problem, Mazzoni?
"Congressman still missing".
The top brass are getting worried.
There's a killer on the loose, and a missing congressman.
There's no time to waste.
Got it.
Find the bastard before he kills again.
- Yes sir. - Take it with you.
I can't do it.
I can't do it, please. I just can't.
Yes you can.
Yes, yes.
Yes I can.
Come on!
We have been through this already.
I know.
Who is Velásquez?
XL. They say he's psychic,
because he knew where a girl was buried.
She was buried alive?
She was dead when they got there.
Velásquez looked like he was in a grave.
When they found him, his nails were broken,
his clothes were dirty, and he was dehydrated.
A victim?
Are you asking us, or telling us?
I'm asking.
We think he left here alive, the killer didn't see him,
and that he will contact you, and if he does,
take him somewhere else and call me.
Okay? Call me anytime.
Give me a call and I'll be there.
Alright.
Here's my phone number. Just in case.
Come on.
I have to go now.
It's a man.
A client of yours.
Tell him to leave. We're busy.
Yes, go away. We're busy in here.
Didn't you hear me?
Yes sir, I heard you.
Now do me a favor and listen to me.
It's very important.
Mrs. Picardi, Maria Picardi, is she home?
What do you want?
Is she home or not?
Tell me what you want first.
Alright.
I found a man.
A man who doesn't say a word,
but he wrote her name, Maria Picardi.
This man. You see him?
Do you know him?
Just a minute.
Come in.
I'm sure you realize that Mrs. Picardi
is unavailable to see you at the moment.
But don't worry,
I'm available to speak with you.
Sit down.
I said sit down.
Now tell me about Velásquez.
What's your problem, you idiot? What's your problem?
Nothing.
You're deaf, that's what you are.
Did you hear what I said? Did you?
Velásquez.
Where are you, you son-of-a-bitch?
Velásquez.
There you are.
