01x05 - Ghosts

Post by bunniefuu »

(POLICE SIREN BLARING)

- Rivera.

- What's up?

What do we have?

We found signs of a struggle here.

- Hmm. He resisted.

- Yes.

He was definitely pushed.

- Okay, take him. Thanks.

- Okay.

- PABLO: Nobody saw you when you arrived?

- MAN: No, nobody saw me.

- Yes, I talked to the guard.

- Leave us alone, please.

It's exactly what we thought.

The monster's taking revenge

on other monsters.

What are you doing?

Mansilla r*ped Dante.

Look, it's clear in his drawings.

It's a drawing of Mansilla

cornering Dante.

What are you doing, Rouviot?

You can't just come alone.

- You're a collaborator, that's all.

- Yes, clearly.

I tried to warn you. You didn't pick up.

If I don't pick up, you sit and wait.

OLMOS: Girl.

You can come in now.

But you can't talk to my witnesses, okay?

And now you have to wait.

OLMOS: Kid, look what I found.

The historic benefactors of the institute.

What does it say here?

Hontou Foundation.

- You owe me half your salary.

- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

OLMOS: What, you play chess?

My dad taught me,

but I haven't played in a long time.

The king.

The king's exposed.

Wow.

THE ABSENT VOICE

PABLO: "I shall ascend

my funeral pyre triumphantly,

"and exult in the agony

of the torturing flames."

CECILIA: Raúl Hontou.

"He knew he was in front of the body

of a self-destroyer. 'We're too late.'"

CECILIA: José Rouviot.

"I shrieked as I saw it shear

through the vampire's throat.

"Whilst Mr. Morris's bowie knife

plunged in the heart."

CECILIA: Francisco Mansilla.

It's crazy.

The author of the crimes is recreating

the death of the literary monsters.

So, we know how the other deaths may go.

What we don't know is

who the next victims will be.

And in what order.

f*ck everyone.

f*ck you and you.

You too, for getting me into this.

- You can't talk like that.

- f*ck off, Oscar.

Getting me into this shitty situation

at my age is unforgivable.

USB UNI

You were right.

m*therf*cker.

Another monster.

The vampire gets into your head.

To keep himself young,

he has to drink blood from his victims.

Their essence, their being.

Why did Hontou put that much money

into Lemos Institute?

Was he hiding something?

- (CECILIA SIGHS)

- Maybe his own abuse.

CECILIA: More than a charitable action,

it seems--

Like a membership?

Child abuse.

Dante was the star.

The guy was obsessed with him.

Dante wasn't just pointing

at a way to k*ll his victims,

but the link he had with them.

He's taking revenge on his abusers.

And what does that theory have to do

with my brother's death?

I will leave you for a moment.

There's something I didn't tell you.

Your brother worked

at the Lemos Institute.

PABLO: Since when?

March 2004 to February 2005.

He treated several kids,

including Dante Santana.

What are you trying to tell me?

Well, that

This is a hypothesis,

let's keep an open mind.

My brother wasn't a pedophile.

Dante left your brother a book

about a guy with two faces.

Jekyll and Hyde,

the doctor and the monster.

Just because he had contact with him,

he's a molester?

Will you accuse every person

who worked at the institute?

I'm not accusing anyone.

Let's just keep the option open--

You're wasting your time

with these speculations.

Will you tell me how to do my job?

I have, for a while.

I'm sorry.

But you can't link my brother

to a pedophilia network.

I can. You can't.

So, until we clear this up,

it's best if you stay out of the case.

Don't do this to me.

It's for your own good.

JOSÉ: How are you, brother?

I did something terrible.

- PABLO: And? You want to tell me?

- JOSÉ: Yes.

PABLO: Why?

Because you're the only one

who can tell me if I'm a monster.

MAN: Thank you, Alicia.

The topic Alicia brings is

very interesting.

The topic of ghosts.

What's left with the ones

that are still living.

I always say that donate their clothes,

their books, their records.

- Get rid of everything.

- WOMAN: Yes.

But it's not about cutting ties

with the past, or something like that.

It's about being able to leave that room

that Alicia describes so well.

Because, if we don't leave,

we will never be able to get to know

the other parts of the huge house

that is our story.

FEMALE LIBRARIAN:

I told you the other day.

I came in two years ago.

I didn't get to know him well.

But he was the principal.

You had contact with him.

Yes, sure. Yes.

He was very polite, yes.

CECILIA: Does the name Raúl Hontou

ring a bell?

FEMALE TEACHER 1: No, it doesn't.

I have been working

at the institute for years.

Many people have come and gone.

FEMALE TEACHER 2: I have worked there

for many years. More than 30.

Sometimes, you hear things,

even if you don't want to.

Let me tell you,

that kid had a rough time.

Did Mansilla have a preference for him?

I don't know about preference,

but he was always keeping an eye on him.

Were there other victims?

Many, yes.

CECILIA: Ernesto, they told me

you and Dante were very close.

We shared some traumas.

He always got the worst part.

I'm glad he did it.

I'm glad Dante k*lled that son of a b*tch.

CECILIA: Do you remember Dr. José Rouviot?

Did he behave that way too?

Never with me.

- And with Dante?

- He would spend more time with Dante.

He would get frustrated with me.

I never told any truths about myself.

That's what a molester does.

He makes you disappear.

You have no face, you have no name.

You have no history.

So, you have to make up

an identity for yourself.

And you lie.

Because lying is a way of surviving.

Lucas, pick up. What are you up to?

Do you have what I need?

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Uncle.

Are you okay?

I'm good, and you?

Good.

Your mom?

She's not here.

She's doing group therapy for grief.

- She's there.

- I see.

I didn't know about the therapy.

I have the g*n

Do you mind if I take some files

from your dad's office?

What did you do with your dad's stuff?

LEMOS INSTITUTE

OUR MISSION IS FOR CHILDREN

(WASHING MACHINE WHIRRING)

Dante Santana.

(WASHING MACHINE BEEPS)

- BRUNO: Uncle, wait. Listen.

- PABLO: This doesn't concern you, really.

BRUNO: You're making things worse.

Calm down.

PABLO: Stay out of it!

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Are you just going to erase my brother?

What are you saying?

You're not okay.

I don't want you to touch my stuff.

PABLO: Show a little gratitude. Hmm?

Protect his memory.

I don't want you to touch them.

I'm asking you, please,

don't touch those things.

Leave them where I put them. Really.

I asked you not to touch them!

Don't touch them!

I want you to get out of my house!

- PABLO: Stop!

- No!

- Pablo!

- Calm down! Calm down.

Look at your state.

Leave.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Hello.

Hello, I'm Darío.

I have the information you requested.

The Piranhas

have been operating for five years.

Human trafficking,

small-scale drug dealing.

They run three clubs in the south side.

Can you write this down?

(ALARM BEEPS)

(DOOR OPENS)

WOMAN: They didn't find any elements

to suspect a crime.

What did his colleagues say

and what does the autopsy say?

LAURA: This is my son Hernán.

He has been missing for several weeks.

The police has only shown

their ineffectiveness.

- f*ck, she knows.

- What does she know?

The blood at Dante's house

is Hernán Hontou's.

I ask you please, if anyone has--

She will push until we burst.

Why would Dante put his sight on Hernán?

He's taking revenge.

What I don't get is

where Hernán fits into this.

What does the psychologist say?

No, he's out of the case.

Why?

Because everything was

too personal for him, so

How did he take it?

Great. (SCOFFS)

Ceci

why don't you invite him for dinner?

What?

Yes, what's wrong with that?

I want to meet him.

Can we go back to what matters?

In each death, the k*ller recreates

the death of the monster in the book.

And, in each monster,

he points out his link to the victim.

Yes, but it's wrong.

Because, in Frankenstein,

the monster doesn't die, his creator dies.

So, I don't understand

why Dante k*lled Hontou

and not Cipriano, his father.

Bad time to not have a psychologist.

When did the donations

from the Hontou Foundation to Lemos start?

Let's see. Why?

Because Rouviot said something

about serial K*llers.

He said everything was about them,

their beliefs and even their biography.

- Here it is. In 2000.

- But when?

The first donation

was November 21st, 2000.

The day Dante Santana was born.

- CECILIA: Cipriano Santana?

- CIPRIANO: Yes?

MAURO: In Frankenstein,

the monster doesn't die, his creator dies.

OSCAR: Why did Hontou put that much money

into Lemos Institute?

Was he hiding something?

PABLO: So, I don't understand

why Dante k*lled Hontou

and not Cipriano, his father.

Cipriano wasn't his father.

CECILIA: What can you say

about the donations

from your foundation to Lemos Institute?

LAURA: Dante Santana was an intern

in the institution. He was raised there.

From what I know,

it's an upstanding institution.

I don't really remember the details.

My husband dealt with charities.

Well, let me remind you

of the details, then.

Dante Santana is your husband's son.

The donations were

to silence his paternity.

The same way he bought

Cipriano Santana's involvement.

Did you know?

Me choosing to look the other way

doesn't make me stupid.

Hernán and Dante have the same blood.

And Hernán had the parents

Dante never had.

Are you telling me my son's next?

FIOLO: Come, right over here.

We have all colors here.

Brunette, blonde and ginger.

Do you like big t*ts?

Fat t*ts, pointy t*ts.

An amazing a*s.

A skinny a*s.

A voluptuous a*s.

Cellulite a*s.

PABLO: I like her.

That one over there is Estrella.

She looks a little tired,

but that b*tch will f*ck you dry.

Go. Thank me later.

Get comfortable.

Oral and vaginal is 6,000.

Additional stuff is 2,000.

That could be kissing my boobs,

a blow job without a condom, a**l.

Looks like you went out to party.

May I help you?

THE FIRE BETWEEN US

PABLO: Is that part of a song?

ESTRELLA: My boyfriend tells me that.

Don't worry, he's not jealous.

Before or after hitting you?

ESTRELLA: Want to f*ck or not?

Come on, baby. Play with me a little.

What? Don't you like me?

Did he give you this after beating you?

He went too far, regretted it,

and wanted to make up for it.

Sure, in your head, you think,

"Is this what I'm worth?"

No, right?

Honestly, I don't think it's valuable.

It is to him.

PABLO: I'll buy it from you.

You're too drunk, man.

Why don't you lie down?

Listen.

My girlfriend loves turtles.

And she's not jealous.

I should ask him.

Is he here?

Wait a minute.

Weren't you with the cop the other day?

The police can't have a little fun?

(THUDS)

- WOMAN 1: What do we do?

- FIOLO: Get out!

- MAN 1: Run!

- Get out!

- Come on!

- Run!

- MAN 2: Run!

- The girls!

Get out!

MAN 3: Come on, hurry!

Come on, get out!

Stop, where are you going?

You didn't like Estrella?

I liked her, but I have to go.

You know what?

We'll sell you the necklace you chose.

MAN: Get out of here!

I can't right now.

You see, you already made an offer.

And we're business people.

So go. She's at the end of the hall.

Come on, go. Come on.

How did you find me?

Don't do stupid sh*t, Víctor.

There's people who know I'm here.

I've been missing for 20 years.

I've been hiding like a rat for 20 years.

My mother died of cancer, you know?

Did you know?

I couldn't say goodbye.

I think I paid my dues.

I swam too much to die on the shore.

I'm not going back to jail. Kneel.

Your crime is about to expire.

On your f*cking knees!

You'll start over.

On your knees, m*therf*cker.

- Calm down.

- On your knees!

MAN: Víctor!

You lost your chance, Doc.

I'm not going back to jail.

(g*nsh*t)

(GROANS)

WOMAN: 911, what's your emergency?
