Do you want to know if I still have my gift?
Do you still have it?
I don't know.
- He left. - I am glad for you.
It was either him or me.
Let's have that cup of coffee.
Yes.
- Do you know a Diaz guy? - Do you know him too?
- He came looking for me. - Welcome to my life.
Pablo told us what happened.
Now I want your side of the story.
What's this?
Life insurance, Diaz.
Who else knows?
Do you want to know that?
Kill me!
Give me another chance.
I haven't pulled the trigger, that's your chance.
Believe me.
This was urgent.
Yes, but be careful. If they find out, they'd kill me.
- Should I drop by? - Yes. I'll call you.
You're making progress.
The killer is a copycat.
He imitates others, but those others have original ideas.
This is a sick maniac, a human copy machine.
I will destroy you! I will gut you!
And then I will spit your guts on your face! You hear me?
You son of a bitch!
Let's see if you still believe I am a copycat!
What kind of an animal is Emilio Ronda to do this?
- We're not sure it's him. - Then who is it?
That's the key to the puzzle.
Who?
- Hi. - Don't you sleep?
What would you like to drink?
Whatever you have.
- I thought you'd drop by earlier. - Yes, I thought so too.
Is something wrong?
Do you have the money?
Yes, of course.
Have I ever missed a payment?
Then what's up? You show up at 1:00 a.m. Asking for money.
I have it here.
Yes. I am sorry.
Are you leaving town?
No. It's just work.
Want to talk about it?
I already said I was sorry.
How did you find out?
About what?
The corpses you found at Ronda's place.
How did you find them?
I don't know. I suppose they...
I don't want suppositions.
Tell me how they found them.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
I supposed you knew how they found the corpses.
You suppose wrong. Generally, I don't get those details, unless...
All right!
Forgive me.
I am really sorry. Forget it.
- You know you can trust me. - Yes.
Tell me what's up with you.
I am not going to do it.
Please! I will not do it!
What?
I feel my head is about to break into pieces.
Can I get you something?
No, I just need to put everything in order.
Why don't you lay down for a while?
Yes.
I am going to lay down for a moment.
It's Maria.
I broke my key and can't open my door.
- Come in. - I am sorry it's so late.
It's all right.
You are soaking wet and cold.
There you go.
This is better.
What happened?
That's not necessary.
- Feeling better? - Yes.
I am making some tea.
You can stay if you want to.
Yes. Maybe I will stay.
Get some rest.
Sit down.
Wait.
Sit down!
I won't...
...say a thing. I swear it.
Really? Should I believe you?
This means nothing. It is just a boy's picture projection.
Nobody will notice it.
And why did you notice it?
That doesn't prove anything.
Your face in a picture doesn't prove you are a murderer.
Please, don't kill me.
Why would I kill you if I am not the murderer?
I don't know...
What is it that you don't know?
You don't know or you're lying to me?
Please.
Please what? Are you lying to me?
No. We know each other for a long time. Please.
That's the main problem.
I don't want to die!
Maybe it won't be necessary.
Now you will make a phone call.
Be calm, all right?
Try to calm yourself.
I want you calmed.
Let me see you calmed.
Breath.
Breath!
At the time of death, this woman was between 35 and 40 years old.
The round penetrated her forehead.
It was a long.38 round.
Just like the gun we found at Ronda's.
- Did Ballistics test it? - Yes. It's Ronda's gun.
What else?
Can you see that gap between hips and pelvis?
She had a natural childbirth.
We know her age range,
that she was a mother,
and the murder weapon...
So what?
Our lab determined that based on how worn-out was her clothing,
they are about 20 years old.
- It's more than you thought. - Right.
Members of the forensic team can identify the remaining bodies.
They have achieved amazing things in previous cases.
All right...
but the woman and the kid come first.
Are you all right?
Yes. Why?
Let's talk about the other bodies.
Son of a bitch!
And very efficient, too.
I want your opinion.
It's a time bomb.
Then you have to deactivate it.
That would be a mistake.
It will go off immediately.
Are you saying I have to sleep with a bomb in my ass?
We need time to know how it works
and then, safely diffuse it.
All right.
You take care of that.
Also, take care of Pablo.
Excuse me, but...
...that won't be necessary. That kid is not dangerous.
But he knows about that report, right?
That makes him a risk I am not willing to take.
That would be one problem out of her face, and good for us.
You take care of that personally.
I don't wan't more people involved in this.
We can continue later.
One more card.
All right.
Was that an "o"?
Very good!
One out of six!
I knew you could do it.
It's a matter of time and just keep on working.
- I want to rest for some time. - It's all right.
Excuse me.
See you later.
Get some rest.
These are the three bodies we found behind the wall.
This is an unidentified male of about 40 years old...
...with multiple fractures in the back of his skull.
Cause of death: Encephalic mass detachment.
How about that stain on the bandage?
Blood.
- The victim's? - Yes.
That's interesting.
If he was hit in the back of his head,
why does he have blood in the front bandage?
His eyes were poked out.
There are fissures in his eyes sockets.
It's like his eyes were removed with a knife. Let's continue.
This is an unidentified male between 20 and 25 years old.
His shoulder blade was pierced with a knife, a rib is broken,
and his lung is perforated.
- Why were they tied up? - It beats me!
Let's continue.
This is an unidentified female of about 70 years old.
Next slide.
She has wire around her neck.
A tourniquet was applied. Killed by asphyxia.
What's in the cups?
Cabernet wine and Lorazepam.
As per the Lab?
As per my nose and the label in the bottle.
Lorazepam.
Got them to sleep, then killed them.
Why?
So he could work in a more relaxed way.
Or they all knew each other well.
It wasn't just a casual relationship.
Why?
Because he blindfolded them,
and then killed them from behind.
He didn't want them to see him doing it.
It looks like they knew each other,
they sat down to eat but he later betrayed them.
What a childish way of thinking!
"If they don't see what I am doing, this is not happening".
What else?
All the deaths were different. Why?
Why didn't he follow a pattern, like a serial killer?
What a son of a bitch!
He got them to sleep, he tied them up...
Yes, but he used different weapons for each one.
It's like he was testing different ways to kill.
That's what it is.
The first thing to do is to identify all these people.
- They are working on it. - When can we have something?
I don't know.
I will go to check up on them.
Yes.
- I will go see Suncho. - He didn't come to work, Renzo.
What?
He called last night and said he is feeling sick.
How about his work?
- Call him home. - Of course.
We first determine the subject's age, then race,
bone articulations and height will give us their weight,
then witnesses will provide us with their body's thickness.
I never imagined that our face shape and cranium were related.
Differences are not so evident at first sight.
How accurate can these projections be?
Highly accurate. It all depends on the bones' conditions.
When can we have an update?
We'll work on the boy. We should have his face soon.
That would be good. We need it as soon as possible.
You will have it.
Thanks.
Well... he can't be that sick.
Maybe he went to the drugstore.
Nonsense! He's very irresponsible.
He's not irresponsible. He loves his work. You know that.
Yes, maybe.
We are making progress, Renzo.
Yes.
Relax.
I'm going home.
It seems like Ronda is looking for different ways to kill.
But what does Ronda need to test?
When it comes to death, he has seen everything.
Why does he have to test it?
What do you want to show?
I can't make any sense out of it.
Different ways to kill.
Maybe it wasn't a rehearsal. It was...
A performance!
He blindfolded them and got them to sleep.
He wanted it to be painless.
Different ways to kill.
It's like a lesson in anatomy.
It's like he was in an dissecting room...
showing somebody
how to kill.
All different ways to kill.
Who was that for?
That's what it is. It's like a lesson for somebody else:
This is how you strangle somebody...
this is how you shoot somebody...
this is how you stab somebody...
this is how you do it...
Who was that for?
Good evening.
Police. I need to ask you some questions.
- About what? - Your upstairs neighbors.
- What's up? - Can I come in?
Yes, come in.
Yes, this is my neighbor. I see him in the elevator... why?
Relax.
Renzo Marquez. Homicide.
I am sorry, detective. I didn't recognize you.
No problem. What's up?
There's a missing person case.
Who reported it? His wife?
No. His mother and people from work.
- When? - A week ago.
- What did his wife say? - "He just left".
How did they get along?
I don't know.
Maybe you heard something. They are your neighbors, right?
I didn't hear anything.
What do you think?
I think he's dead.
Why? Maybe he just left.
With no car? It's in the parking lot with a tank full of gas.
That's different. I don't know.
His wife is the only one who's not worry about it.
Isn't that weird?
I don't know.
Maybe she wanted that to happen.
Maybe.
I won't bother you any more. Thanks, detective.
Bye.
You all reached the same conclusion: This is a lesson.
Yes. Like a lesson from a father to his son.
Who are all these dead people?
Mariano is working on that with the lab, sir
Any news?
We'll have the boy's face tomorrow.
Mazzoni.
- What's up, sir? - More problems.
Here they are.
It is Suncho.
- That guy looks like shit. - What's so funny?
Nothing. I have two more rolls...
- Bring them over. - They are...
Bring them over!
Will there be others?
Why Suncho?
It feels like something personal against our police unit.
It's Suncho.
Let's go to his house.
Who will pay for this?
What is your problem?
Take it easy. I will pay.
Asshole!
Marina, it was Suncho.
We are going to his house.
Over here.
It is carbide, right?
I don't get it.
He's repeating the same methods he used before.
Why?
Why Suncho?
Get him out of there as soon as possible.
Any prints?
Everything was wiped off.
Marina, it's me.
I want to show you some test results from Velazquez.
I will drop by your place later today. Take care!
- Hi. - Hello. Can I come in?
Yes, sure.
- Sugar? - No, thanks.
- What's up? - Where's your husband, Maria?
- He left. - Where to?
I don't know. He just left and didn't say where to.
He just left?
But he can come back.
Aren't you afraid?
Yes, of course.
We slept together. I didn't notice any fears.
What do you mean by that?
You seem to be very sure he is not coming back.
I don't know what happened to that son of a bitch,
but if it is what I think it is, then tell me.
I have nothing to tell you.
Nothing to tell me?
Thanks for the coffee.
If there's something you want to say, tell me.
Well, all right then.
How's the investigation?
Thanks.
Slower than we expected.
That son of a bitch is calling the shots.
Tell me about Velazquez.
He's not getting better as fast as we would like him to.
Medically speaking, he's fine and his surgery was a success.
His clairvoyance seems to be permanently affected.
We administered these tests on him.
Nothing extraordinary there.
These are normal parameters.
He wrote this?
Yes.
What is up?
This is our colleague. We found him dead today. Suncho.
- When did he write that? - Today at noon.
Shit!
How did he kill him?
By repeating the method in his three previous murders.
Those of Clure, Picardi and Marcos.
Why him?
I don't know.
My only guess is that...
Suncho saw the killer's face.
He identified him.
He solved the case.
Wait!
There's nothing here.
He was working on a photo.
Maybe he copied it to a portable drive and deleted it.
Why?
Photographs require a lot of hard disk space.
If I were working at home,
I'd copy it to a portable drive and then reload it from there.
Why?
Photos require a lot of hard disk space. It makes no sense.
It's okay.
I'll go back to my stuff.
Lagos?
- Here it is. I hope it's useful. - Me too.
Before the weekend, I'll have all the faces.
Thank you.
I couldn't sleep all night.
I thought... poor Suncho!
He faced that animal right at home.
Poor thing!
This drives me crazy.
I was wondering...
Many times I wondered last night...
how did he know Suncho was working on his picture?
I think he was always close to Suncho.
And close to us!
That's why he knew about the imaging process.
Step by step.
How this lunatic was related to Suncho?
Who's this animal?
Let's see how you look like before you die.
Renzo.
I want to show you something.
We have to talk.
Out of my way!
Let me see the picture.
What happened?
This is the digital composition of the kid.
- It's the same guy. - That's what I think.
It can't be.
Marina.
I can't talk to you right now.
Please don't hang up.
You were right. They tried to kill me.
What?
Diaz followed me and tried to kill me.
If they wanted to, you'd be dead by now. It's a warning.
He tried to suffocate me. I fought back.
Marina, I am lost and he's going to find me.
Help me, please.
Pablo, you got into this.
You wanted to ruin my life,
you got it.
You are on your own.
Marina, please! I am your brother.
Asshole!
- I won't say a thing. - I know.
