Drenaje Profundo (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Ratas - full transcript

DROWNING CITY

EPISODE 4
RATS

Carlos Michelet.

Had a textile business.

Millionaire,
loved parties and women.

Apparently, very close
to certain military circles.

Since he's very important,
the attorney's office...

...wants us to conduct
the investigation.

Also involved in white slavery,
genocide.

Anyway, a piece of work.

Do we know the cause of death?



-He was poisoned.
-With what?

We found enough cyanide
to kill the four of us.

But... that's not
the most interesting part.

What's that?

Caramel.

Those rats were about
to become diabetic.

This guy is sweeter
than a peanut brittle.

The rats are marked.
It'll take several days...

...to figure out
what lab they came from.

I wish you a very
''sweet investigation''.

What do we know
about his wife?

''Princess Caramel didn't want
to live with the king.

Because he had honey
instead of hair.''

Remember ''Cri-Cri's song''?



I'm not into ''Cri-Cri''
that much.

Sulema Venturini.
AKA Susana Ventura.

She was known as
''Princess Caramel''...

...a famous cabaret star.

She even participated
in a few films about hookers...

...those you like so much.

Then she met Michelet and
abandoned her career for him.

Kids?

She already had a daughter
when they met.

He never wanted her near.

She grew up
in boarding schools abroad.

Then she came back to Mexico.

Typical killing
of a millionaire.

FEDERAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

CARLITOS MICHELET Y MILOSZ
TWO MERRY BUDDIES, 1968

Mrs. Michelet?

Can I ask you some questions?

Please be kind
and leave, okay?

Clara Ventura?

Are you
Mrs. Michelet's daughter?

My mom's really upset,
can't you see?

The rats, Clara...

...do you have any idea
where they could came from?

Why don't you ask
that Venezuelan whore?

-Who?
-What, you didn't know?

That woman, Miriam.
Michelet's lover.

She's behind the rats?

I already warned your partner.
Please leave us alone.

I need you to take a sample
of this and take it to the lab.

Thank you.

They found the body
at the pool?

Yes, and they gave me
these anonymous notes.

They were with the rats.

They left them in boxes
at the entrance.

Carlos Michelet, we'll never
honor your memory!

Killer!

Thank you.

Even if you died like a pig...

...our struggle will continue.

Fellow neighbors,
we're here to inform you...

...that the fortune
made by Carlos Michelet...

...was acquired with blood.

Forty years ago,
he kidnapped, tortured...

...and killed
thousands of students...

...young people and workers...

...who wanted to create
a fairer country for everyone.

Carlos Michelet
died unpunished.

But we will never
forget about his crimes!

Killer!

Killer!

Arrest her and take her
to the station...

...we have to interrogate her.
Surely she knows something.

We're on our way there.

FEDERAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

''The Rat's Brigade.''

What's that?

Amilitary group founded
in the 60's by the government.

To eradicate the dissidents.

It was the icing on the cake
of the federal paranoia...

...during ''the dirty war''.

What does the Rat's Brigade
has to do with Carlos Michelet?

Carlos Michelet
was in the Rat's Brigade.

We managed to send him
to jail a few years ago...

...but in the end,
he was released...

...because he was very smart.

He knew a lot
and had important connections.

Why do you care
about this matter?

Do you realize that
you're our prime suspect?

This will sound strange,
but we know...

...that many of the missing
people are still alive.

We won't stop
until we find them.

That's impossible,
it's been more than 40 years.

They've been spotted,
recognized.

We know they're around.

We need to know where they are
and why they haven't come back.

-Can I ask you a question?
-Sure.

How was Michelet murdered?

He was poisoned with cyanide.

That strikes you as funny?

The favorite method
of Michelet...

...was to insert
cyanide capsules.

That way he could hide
his crimes...

...as ''heroic suicides''.

Will you keep me here
or can I go now?

I have a theatrical
performance to make.

''The Rat's Brigade'',
for God's sake.

I'll keep her here for 72 hours.
I hope that's enough time...

...for you to find
some clues, inspectors.

She didn't do it, Commissioner,
that's a fact.

Why expose herself like that
after Michelet's murder?

So a naive agent could think
she wasn't involved.

This is more complicated.
We need to find Miriam.

-The Venezuelan prostitute.
-Okay, let Isadora go.

Don't let her out of your sight.
By the way, Elizalde...

...do you know where we'd find
Miriam, the Venezuelan whore?

Hi, ''daddy-o'',
would you buy me a drink?

-You have one, right?
-It doesn't matter.

I want you to buy me one.

-Where are you from?
-From abroad.

I'm looking
for a Venezuelan woman.

-I heard she's great.
-Yes?

I can be your
Venezuelan woman for today.

I'm really interested
about this Venezuelan woman.

-Her name's Miriam.
-I don't know any Miriam. Sorry.

Do you feel that?
That's a police badge.

I can take you in
for prostitution.

Unless you start cooperating.

Thank you, gorgeous.

Fuck you.

Good evening.

What?

You're hanging out
with Sandra a lot lately.

What do you care?

I care.
And I care a lot.

You should care
that I care.

-Don't mess with me.
-No, no.

I'm just warning you.

Let's go.

-Miriam.
-What is it, Diego?

-Come out right now.
-Okay.

Clear!

What's up, sweetie?
Can I call you later?

I'm in the middle
of an investigation.

No, no. I'll tell you quickly.

It's something really sad.

Uncle Carlo's died.

Who?
What uncle Carlos?

This woman has
a severe gastritis.

My uncle Carlitos Michelet,
do you remember?

My fake uncle. He was
close friends with my father.

He knew me since
I was little.

Isadora...

...that activist showgirl.

She's the only one
that could've sent those rats.

She always hated us.

She insisted with her lies
all of those years.

Why rat labs?
I don't get...

...what's that have
to do with anything?

How do that relates to this?

What did Michelet say
when the rats appeared?

Nothing. He asked the gardener
to get rid of them. That's all.

But he didn't.

I didn't let him.

I told him to throw them
in the pool so they'd drown.

Why did you do that?

To make him angry.

To get an answer from him.

Anything. Something.

Did it work?

Obviously not.
He bought the pool cover.

To be precise:
he didn't give a damn.

Near me, near me.

Hi, honey.

How are you?

Sad.
He was my favorite uncle.

-Did you see him often?
-No, that's the saddest part.

I hadn't seen him in years.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

So, how are you?
Did you eat, are you hungry?

Yes.

I'll leave the dog over there
and fix you something.

My parents are at the terrace.

Let's go.

Your daughter's boyfriend.

The dear ''pig''.

Ma'am.

How are you, my boy?

Lorena told me
about Carlos Michelet.

I'm really sorry, sir.

Thank you, son.

It's a pity.
Poor Carlos.

I guess you know
what happened.

Yes, I heard.

We were close friends years ago.
We loved to party.

Such a waste of time,
right, honey?

How was your relationship now?

Don't tell me you're
investigating the case?

Carlitos loved to party,
he got into a lot of trouble.

Sometimes he asked for help,
and I helped him.

What kind of help?

The kind of help
friends give to each other.

-Is that a bad thing?
-No.

Did you know Carlos Michelet was
part of a military brigade...

...guilty of kidnapping
people during ''the dirty war''.

That's a lie.

Don't believe that garbage, son.

Did you hear from him
these last years?

He was looking for me.

But I've had several
problems at my lab...

...and didn't take his call.

Ulises, there are sewers that
should remain closed. Get it?

What do we know
about Mrs. Michelet?

She doesn't speak.
She's like a mommy.

But she decided to turn
those rats into her pets.

And the Venezuelan woman
whereabouts?

Nothing yet.

I'll call Erik. We need to take
extreme measures to find her.

FEDERAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

During a tumultuous operation,
the Federal Police...

...raided a clandestine bar:
''Liquid Eden''...

...suspected
of high profile prostitution.

Federal Police said that
through this operation...

...they expect to disintegrate
one of the most important...

... white slavery rings
in the country.

I hope we find that
Venezuelan woman soon...

...and get something
we can use, otherwise...

...I will have
to arrest Isadora.

I don't think she did it.

These rats have her signature.

Yes, but she's looking
for justice, not vengeance.

She's trying to revive
the missing person's topic...

...so those responsible
can be trialed.

The rats are threatening,
but she can't use them for that.

So, tell me, detective.
What leads do we have?

What do you know
about the Rat's Brigade?

There isn't information
anywhere.

They must've taken away
all the files of the case.

Maybe they never existed.

And that crazy woman
made that up.

The tests on the caramel?

Nothing yet.

So... you have no idea all the
heat I'm taking for this case.

I need to solve it now.

We know why the rats
were at the pool.

That's no longer a mystery.

You're mistaken about that,
detective.

We have the report
on the marked rats.

The youngest
was registered in 1968.

Are you saying
the rats are 40 years old?

Elementary, Elizalde.

Which lab owns them?

We don't have the
lab information.

Just a name: Igor Alvarez.

Who's Igor Alvarez?

I have no idea.
Whoever he is...

...he's wiped
from the face of the earth.

INCOMING MESSAGE

The Venezuelan woman's location.
Get moving.

I'll send this to you.

This was
Michelet's first factory.

He made the Army's uniforms
for years.

It's a good hiding place.

Ladies first.

Stop! Freeze!

What happened?

-I saw someone.
-You fired?

-It was a warning shot.
-Warning shot?

I didn't mean to kill him.

Look what I found,
it's for you.

Don't shoot!

You're not from Venezuela.

Sometimes you need another
identity in order to survive.

Who else was in here?

His name is Diego.
He's a weird kid.

Sandra asked him
to hid and feed me.

He came to tell me
the bar's been raided...

...and that I had to go.

I tried to convince him
to go to the police...

...but he went crazy,
that's when you arrived.

What do you know about
the rats and the threats?

IMMORTAL RATS
THIS IS NOTA MICRACLE

ASK FOR THE MICRACLE,
ULISES

-Diego had this.
-Did he send the rats?

Carlos said the rats were
a message to Milosz, his friend.

He had reach him and tell him.

Did he talk to him
before dying?

No, he didn't answer.

Carlos said they needed
to clean their past...

...in order to find peace, but
they should do that together.

How many months are you?

Seven.

What did Michelet say
about your pregnancy?

He was really happy.

He was very excited
about becoming a father.

In fact, the day
he disappeared...

...he was heading home...

...he was leaving her
because of my pregnancy.

He'd finally get rid
of his gastritis.

Mrs. Michelet had a reason
to kill her husband.

-Which one?
-She was jealous.

He was planning on
going to live with Miriam.

I don't know.
I still have doubts.

I don't. Arrest Mrs. Michelet,
she's a murder suspect.

Now! It's an order!

Again...!

Get in. You have to pay me
your bail money tonight.

I missed you, Sandra.

What are we gonna do
about your boyfriend?

Leave me alone.

I don't like that guy.
I won't tell you this again.

Get in, come on.

Mrs. Michelet,
you're under arrest...

...for the murder
of Carlos Michelet.

That's all.

Guadalupe,
we're not following you.

-I don't know.
-You prepared the caramel?

No, Ma'am, I swear.

I just found dirty pots
in the kitchen and cleaned them.

Stop it. My mom
put the caramel on him...

...so the rats would eat him.

Guadalupe, did you help
Mrs. Michelet...

...move the body to the pool?

No, sir. I didn't know
he was there.

Lupita, tell me...

...did you notice something
weird while doing the cleaning?

Did you forget what
you told me, silly?

Clara, please.

What did you find, Guadalupe?

Suitcases.

What suitcases?

The ones
Mr. Michelet prepared.

What else?

Abroken lamp
and the cup of tea in the floor.

Everything will be okay, Lupita.

This adds up, right?

You think?

Michelet arrives and announces
that he'll make a new family...

...including
a child and everything.

He prepares his suitcases.

Sulema can't stand it and
makes him a poisoned tea.

Bam... case solved!

-Something doesn't adds up.
-The cyanide.

And the cruelty
of putting caramel on him...

...so the rats would eat him.

Maybe it was a diversion.

And then, having
a guilty conscience...

...suicides using the same
poison. I don't know, Rita.

Let's not talk about
the immortal rats, right?

Where are you going?

To ask about a miracle.

Entrepreneur,
why do you smell like fish?

That's how a market smells like.

Do you know why
that market reeks so much?

Reeks? But we filled it
with perfume.

Perfume? Is that the reason why
the casserole is so expensive?

It's not ''casserole''
it's a ''stew''.

''Stew'' and ''fish''
aren't the same thing?

No, a stew is one thing
and fish is another.

I can make a stew with you.

Who gave you this?

Aguy named Diego.
I don't know who he is.

The ''Miracle Project''.

-What's that?
-We haven't test it yet.

It was a secret project which
involved the missing people.

To do what?

We don't know.

But that Diego guy,
whoever he is, must know.

Who is this?

Hi, is Ulises home?

Ulises? No, he'll arrive later.
Who's this?

I'm a friend.
I have an envelope for him.

An envelope from whom?

It's from a friend.

It's classified.
Can you give it to him?

Yes, sure.

Come on in.

Is that for...?

Ulises Elizalde.
Elite Brigade.

-What's this?
-It's classified.

It's awful
to date a policeman, right?

I don't get it.

He keeps so many secrets.

-Are you okay?
-No, probably not.

Can I ask a question?
Are you Milosz' daughter?

Yes, do you know him?

Tell him Diego said hi.

-I'll tell him.
-Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

FORENSIC REPORT

LORENACALLING

Hi, honey.
What's up?

I'm working.

I'll be there soon.
Kisses. Bye.

CARLITOS MICHELETAND MILOSZ
TWO MERRY BUDDIES, 1968

Hey, come here.

Hi, baby.
How are you?

I needed a hug.

I didn't think
you'd take this long.

-What time is it?
-Past 3:00 a.m.

I'm investigating something.

About Carlos, right?
My dad told me.

No. Something worse happened.

Poor Clara.

Do you know her well?

No, but my dad does.

She asked him
to sell her house...

...and make
the legal arrangements.

-Why did she ask him that?
-Because she wants to go.

She doesn't want to stay here,
and I totally get her.

I'm going to sleep.

-What's that?
-Afriend of yours brought it.

What friend?

Diego. Aguy I've never
seen before.

Quite weird, by the way.

He sent his regards
to my father.

-Are you coming?
-I'm coming.

WHAT IS THE SHORTEST WAY

BETWEEN ONE POINT
AND ANOTHER?

Carlos Michelet,
we want justice!

Where are the students
you kidnapped and tortured?

Luis Martin.
A 25-year-old student.

Disappeared.
Claudia Jimenez. 1 7-years-old.

Which way should we go, honey?

Let's round this and
exit through the back.

Let's go.

29-years-old.
Disappeared.

Rodolfo Garcia.
26-years-old.

Are you coming, ''pig''?

I better stay.

The shortest way between
one point and another...

...is a straight line.

Claudia Jimenez.
1 7-years-old. Disappeared.

Veronica Cardenia.
29-years-old...

Rita, I need to see you.

Rodolfo Garcia...

What did you want to check out?

The bedroom
where Carlos Michelet...

...supposedly died is that way.

To the right.

But the trace
leads through there.

To the left.

That doesn't make sense if
Michelet died in the bedroom.

Let's go.

The body went through this door.

He wanted to get rid of all
of this to erase his past.

Cyanide?

Don't touch them.

He used those
with the missing persons.

Someone exchanged
his gastritis pills...

...for the cyanide.

So, Sulema found them.

-It wasn't Sulema.
-Clara?

But why would Clara
want to kill Michelet?

And her mother.

To get the inheritance.

A new heir was coming.

It'd be a legal heir.

And then?

Commissioner.
Clara Michelet is the killer.

She just needs
to get rid of Miriam.

Okay.

Miriam's not answering.
Let's go to her house.

We're late.

Clara!

-Put the gun down!
-No!

We know you killed your mother.
We can talk about it.

She would've turned me in,
she always preferred him.

They both deserved it.

Lower your gun.

Woman down,
we need an ambulance now.

54 Hegel Street.

PROTECTAND SERVE
THE COMMUNITY

The immortal rats matter
remains a mystery.

Yes and Diego.
Ulises' new friend.

I hate lose ends.
Get out of here.

Aspecial team will secure
the information you found.

This can't go public until
we get orders from above.

These documents
prove crimes...

...that should be trialed,
Commissioner.

That's not your decision,
Inspector Elizalde.

You can go now.

FEDERAL POLICE DEPARTMENT

I can't believe
he's so obtuse.

Calm down,
you're like Isadora.

Isadora is completely right.

Go with your daughter.
Everything will be fine.

-Thanks. Bye.
-Bye.

CALL CELIA DUARTE

Hello?

-Celia?
-Yes, who's this?

Ulises Elizalde.

How are you?

Fine.

-I have something for you.
-What?

Have you heard
from the ''Rat's Brigade''?

Yes, sure.

Holy Virgin Mary!
This guy never learns!

Please cover me.
Tell them I went to the bank.

The bank? At this time,
only a blood bank.

Estelita, do this for me,
please.

Okay, but make it quick,
or I'll get into trouble.

Lost child, better behave
or I'll spank you.

What are you up to, Diego?

Did you see what happened?

We were arrested.

I didn't think
that would happen.

Or that they would find Miriam.

Exactly, you didn't think!

Do you know what the boss
will do if he see us together?

What's this?

Something that matches
with your necklace.

What's wrong?

You're still ill.

If everything goes as planned,
I'll be better soon.

You're worse each day,
Diego, what is it?

I'm dying.

But so are you,
a little bit one day.

This is not a joke,
you're sick.

What's all of this?

What do you have to do with
Milosz and that policeman?

Sandy, there are things
I can't tell you yet.

But I need to know,
or don't come again.

No.

These are yours.

Bear with me.

When all of this is over, I'll
be in a privileged position...

...and no one
will ever touch you.

You're all I have.

You're all I have left.

Let's see.

ESTELITA CALLING

Surely the boss didn't believe
her and they're looking for me.

I'm leaving, but please...
don't go there.

They'd do anything
to teach you a lesson.

I'm not afraid of them.
Don't worry.

When all of this is over,
I'll deal with that asshole.

Go to the doctor.

Listen to me for a change.

I'll call you.

Since you care
so much about Sandra...

...we decided
to take care of you.

What's that saying...?

''The friends of my lady friends
are my friends.''

Yes, but we don't like
your friends.

Especially that police officer.
You're telling things to him.

He's not my friend.

That's a pity.

Because after this...

...you're going
to need your friends.

We're talking about
documents...

...that were kept secret
for 40 years...

... which prove that the late
Carlos Michelet...

...played an important part...

...in the kidnappings
and torture...

...that took place during the
''dirty war''back in the 70's.

Among the documents
are photographs and files...

...from
a lot of missing persons.

These facts were always denied
by several administrations.

This confirms terrible crimes...

...committed under
the government's protection.
