Harina (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

We know Lieutenant Prieto in 2000, when he still thought he could make a difference as an officer. In the present, Ramírez is convinced there is a serial killer on the loose: The Canceler.

[music]

Now you're done, bastard!

The Union Tláhuac got you.

Easy, easy. You're mistaking
me with someone else.

This is my first day here.

Don't lie to me!
You're Prieto.

Your mom lives in Topilejo.

Your sister has just
had a baby

at the Infantita Hospital,
yes or no?

Yes, yes.

Okay. Now I'll kill you
and then I'll kill them.



No, please, not my family.

You can do whatever you want
with me but don't hurt my family.

So if you pray, you'd better
start, bastard. Say a prayer!

Yes. Angel of God, my guardian
dear, to whom God's love

commits me here, ever this
day be at my side...

[laughter]

You're kidding me! You're
praying to your Guardian Angel?

He prayed to the Guardian Angel!
Give me a break!

I'm Irvin Ramos,
your new partner. How are you?

Ready for your first day?

Ready, sir.

Candidate Prieto ready for
his first day of service, sir.

What's that?

The last boy scout. Please!
Get on the patrol car, let's go.



Come on!

[Ramos]
Candidate Prieto, come on!

I'll teach you all sorts of
things. You won't feel fear.

[cumbia music]

[Ramos] The guy
right there is "El pijirus".

We have to come here
every week.

You'd better wait here because
El Pijirus will get scared

of your sick optimistic
face. Wait here.

-Wouldn't it be better...?
-Hold on, hold on.

What's up, Piji?

[cumbia music]

-How are you, boss?
-Fine.

You owe me one,
you will pay me.

[cumbia music]

You're lucky. Look at you!
Your first day.

Let's see.

Take it as a present

for your first day
at work. Come on.

No, no.

No, I can't take that.

Do you know anyone
that rejects money?

No. I really appreciate it
but I can't take it.

Jesus, man!

[cumbia music]

[Ramos]
You're so dumb!

[police siren]

The last neighbor
had the same problem.

I think the secret
is to push

and then pull very softly.

Thank you.

You've just moved in, right?

Less than a month ago, yes.
Does it show?

I've been living here
for several years.

I can show you the neighborhood,
if you want.

Okay, thanks.

I don't have a criminal record

for sexual harassment, robbery,
rape or anything.

-Excuse me?
-It's a bad joke.

Since I saw
you were a cop, I said:

"Just in case
she checks."

How do you know I'm a cop?

You're wearing a uniform.

Of course, I'm sorry.

I'm so silly!

Listen. I will give you
my card.

"David Landeros,

solar panel installer."

Wow!

In case you need anything
with it or with anything,

don't hesitate to call me.

-Okay.
-Or just knock.

I mean, no, well...

-Have a good day.
-Thank you anyway.

Go and succeed!

David.

Damn!

I thought you'd left.

No, I stayed here
because I have a date

nearby and I said:
"Why would I leave?"

But now I'm leaving.

-Did you make coffee?
-Yes, but not for you.

I took some money from your
wallet. I'll give it back later.

-What? No. Wait, wait.
-Bye, Ed!

Dalia!
You already owe me money!

Goddamn you!

We'll win today!
We'll win today!

We'll win today!
We'll win today!

HEARING 4:00 PM.
DO NOT FORGET

Ferchy Martínez and Yun...

Yung Dupe have been killed
in a short period of hours

and I'm sure
you're asking yourselves:

"What do these two cases
have in common?"

Yes, in fact, that was just
what I was thinking.

What do both cases
have in common?

-I know, I know, I know!
-Irma.

They're both being investigated
by a nerd.

Please, let her finish.

You were great!

-I was great?
-Yes, you were great.

How great was I?

Both victims were
digital influencers

and both victims have
been killed the same way:

Their thumbs have been cut off
and their throats have been cut.

There are no signs of fight
in either case.

It's as if the victims
had invited the killer

to commit the murder.

Ramones.

Haven't I told you
to forget that nonsense?

[laughter]

Yes, yes, sir. I'm Ramírez.
And yes, you told me but I think

this murderer is killing people
who are famous on the internet.

For example, I think that
amputating their thumbs

symbolizes the "like".

-What?
-The "like", the "like" button.

I suspect we are

facing a...

[Prieto]
Don't say it, don't say it.

"Serial killer".

-What?
-A serial killer.

Exactly.

[laughter]

No, you're kidding!

This is serious!

I called him
"The Cancellator".

And I suspect
he will strike again soon

so we have to do
something about it.

She even gave him a name!

Give me a name!

You would be "The Heater"!

-Ordoñez.
-Ramírez, sir.

Ordoñez, there are no serial
killers in the city of Mexico

and, if there was one,
it wouldn't be anything compared

to the huge number of crimes
we have here every day,

so forget that story.

Chief, forgive me, but
according to my investigation,

there're 5,789 influencers
in Mexico.

They're all potential
victims of The Cancellator,

including the lieutenant.

Damn! What about me?

Well, you're very famous
on the internet.

Are you concerned
the lieutenant might be killed?

Yes.

Listen. Has anyone here
ever felt

like killing the lieutenant
at some point?

Yes. Why bother to say no?

Yes. There's no need to lie.

Bastards, traitors.

Okay, take all your nonsense
with you.

Let's get to work. It's too
late for this nonsense.

Very good, nerd!
"Like", "like".

[Imelda]
I liked your presentation.

"I liked your presentation".

[dog barks]

When was the last time
you saw her?

Who?

Your wife, sir, your wife.

Lucía.

She was a wonderful woman.

You don't know
where she might have gone?

Who?

[woman screaming]

Hey! Where are you going,
Ramírez? Where are you going?

-Didn't you hear the scream?
-Yes.

So what? Is it forbidden
to scream or what?

-No, but...
-You don't learn. I'll get tired.

I'll get tired of you
some day.

Everybody needs help here.

The gentleman here needs help
to remember something.

[woman's voice]
(Help, police!)

In that case, we're going.
Excuse us, sir.

[soft music]

Come on, lieutenant.

Forget that "SWAT" thing,
Ramírez.

[woman's voice] [English language]
(Please, somebody help me!)

[woman's voice] [English language]
(Help! Please, help! Somebody!)

[English language]
Please, my boss is upstairs!

-You must go upstairs.
-Calm down.

I don't know what happened.
I was here so...

Hey. Calm down, okay?

Spanish?

No, no Spanish. I'm an American.

That's the mess
Trump caused, right?

¿What?

Now you have to come
and work here.

Amazing!

What is she saying?
I didn't understand.

What happened?

My boss was killed, killed.

-She's dead upstairs. Please!
-Upstairs. Upstairs?

-Upstairs.
-Upstairs.

Somebody was killed
and she's upstairs.

I don't understand anything,
Ramírez.

Somebody was killed
and she's upstairs.

-Damn! She said that?
-Yes, that's what she said.

I'm going to check upstairs.
You stay here because

the killer might still be
in the house. Calm down.

Sure, sure.
Whatever you say, chief.

[Prieto]
Calm down, calm down.

It turns out that
now you're giving orders to me.

Prunes!

Delicious!

Great! The ice cream containers
actually have ice cream here.

Lieutentant,
I need you to come here.

I'm coming!

[Ramírez]
Right now!

[treadmill sound]

I'm coming.

[treadmill sound]

Damn!

Do you still believe
I'm crazy?

You're telling me that this is
not the work of a serial killer?

She had more than
a million followers.

Go forward, go forward.
Go forward. Damn!

Do you like
being a cop?

Look, son, I've been in this
profession for 18 years now.

I can't do anything
but law enforcement, okay?

But above all,

I do it for these two.
Look.

What a beautiful family!
They're so pretty.

What did you say?

You want to screw
my wife, don't you?

What? No, no.
How can you think that?

I meant the concept
of family. I have a girlfriend.

You should've seen your face.

What about your girlfriend?

We're thinking
about getting married

and raising a family too.

And you don't feel guilty
when you screw other girls?

No, no, I mean, I don't do that.

-I love her. We've an agreement.
-How do you know you love her?

Look, I found out
I loved my wife

after I began to feel guilty
for having screwed

a curvy woman
down the highway.

That, candidate Prieto,

is true love.

What time is it?

11:30 sharp.

Perfect! It's time
for our lunch.

The heroic Police Department
is investigating

the hypothesis
of a serial killer.

After some investigation,
I concluded

that this is the third victim
of the serial killer,

to whom I gave the pseudonym
of "The Cancellator".

I don't have further comments,
gentlemen.

I just want to add
one last thing.

(You, Cancellator,)

(I know you're listening.)

(I won't rest until)
(I catch you, until I find you.)

That's all, gentlemen.

Officer, officer, excuse us
but you haven't answered.

One by one. This looks
like a madhouse. Order, please.

I can't believe it. That is
our case. He has no right.

Hey, relax, okay?

We don't want you
to go into menopause.

What?

I've never seen anyone get
so excited about a dead victim.

I'm not excited
about a dead victim.

If you could just listen to
a little bit of what I say,

you would take advantage
of your position of power.

-Listen to what?
-I mean...

Everything that happened to me
was your fault

and it was a result
of your lack of responsibility.

Yes, sure.

I'm not surprised
your ex-wife

does not want you to have
contact with your daughter.

If you don't know,
don't talk, please?

Don't talk about that.
I'm not irresponsible.

-You're not irresponsible?
-No.

Your daughter's custody
hearing starts

in fifteen minutes
and you're here.

You're kidding!

But you don't even
care about that.

Damn! Damn, damn!

Ramírez, come, please.
Get on, come on.

Damn!
Prieto, you're a prick!

Let's go!
Please, don't be like that.

"THE OPPONENTS"

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Your
Serene Excellency, forgive me.

Honey, how are you?

Everybody, I'm sorry.
It's just that...

-Take off your sunglasses.
-Of course, Your Majesty.

Taken off.

There was a lot of traffic.
Mexico City is impassable.

Okay, let's start
this hearing, please.

The husband's defense
can make its statement.

Of course, Your Excellency.

Well, we're here

to request the shared custody
for my client.

My client, a...

a really exemplary citizen.

So exemplary that everybody
in this court could barely aim

to be somehow like him.

A loving and involved father.

An ex-husband...
The lady won't let me lie.

A responsible ex-husband.

He even gave
a house to his ex-wife.

He made his ex-wife sole owner
of the house in Puerto Vallarta.

And what about his profession?
He saves lives.

He's the most beloved and
respected neurosurgeon.

He even got
international awards.

What? Can't you see?

[murmur]

Excuse me, Your Honor,
there has been...

There has been an unexpected
mix-up of files.

We are here to request
the shared custody

for my client. My client,

Edson Prieto, a citizen,
Your Honor, a citizen,

a really Mexican citizen.

He was born that way.
He was born a Mexican.

Throughout his life,
he's always been a Mexican.

Even today he's still
a Mexican.

He's a human being
and, as such, he has virtues

and defects, Your Honor.

I can assure that my client's
most prominent virtue

is the huge love
he feels

for his little son.

-Daughter.
-Daughter.

[police radio]

[police radio]

[police radio]

The defense can make
its statement, please.

Thank you, Excellency.

-What's that? Can it be done?
-Evidence.

[television audio]
(Is that your girlfriend?)

(It's López. He's been working)
(with us for six years.)

(This is great!)
(This is awesome!)

[screams]

(Let the blows begin!)

[background noises and blows]
(Pam, pim, poom, poom!)

(Damn, I feel)
(like dancing a very crazy)

(cumbia, a very crazy)
(damned cumbia.)

I think that's enough.

Just by watching that

we can somewhat figure
what the problem is.

-Sure? The end is amazing.
-No, that's enough.

It's clear that Mr. Prieto
is not capable

of taking care of a child and
he's not a positive role model.

I don't want to think how
this little girl will grow up.

-Your Honor.
-So right now,

I grant full custody
of the girl to his mother.

No, no.

You'll live with your mom and
you won't see your dad again.

-No, dad, please!
-What are you telling her?

Do something, damn!

Your Honor, please.
Don't listen to that, don't.

Everything will be alright.
Everything will be alright.

You will see your daddy.
Everything will be alright.

And rehab?

-Who are you?
-Officer Ramírez, Excellency.

I work with this man and I'm a
witness of the love and devotion

he has for his daughter.

She deserves a second chance.

Your Excellency, I...

grew up without my dad.

She died when I was
a little girl.

By separating this man
from his daughter,

you're not punishing him

but her.

Your Excellency, I think
you've already passed judgment.

You don't remember.

I find no reason
not to consider

officer Ramírez's statement.

I shall grant shared custody

on the condition that Mr. Edson
Prieto shall weekly attend

Narcotics Anonymous meetings

and treats his addiction.
Is that clear?

Very clear, Your Honor.

I shall follow, stick to

and abide by the political
constitution of Mexico City.

I'll schedule a new hearing
in a month

and, Mr. Prieto, please,
watch your integrity.

-I won't accept another mistake.
-I wouldn't accept it either,

Your Honor of Mexico City.

I beat you.

I beat you.

-No, I beat you.
-What am I missing?

Dad's belt,
his ammunition belt.

Rosa, give it to me. How can
you give it to a girl? Think!

Come.

Mine, please.

Thank you. Bye.

What you've just done
is very noble

and I get it,

but if I were you,
I wouldn't trust him so much.

Edson

is a specialist in disappointing
his loved ones.

Okay. Take care. Good luck.

[background voices]

Okay. Say goodbye to your dad.

-Bye, daddy. I love you.
-I love you.

[music]

And now with the other one.
Look.

Abstain from doing that, sir.

But I'm doing alright, officer.
Will you let me go?

I can't let you drive
in your condition.

You're a danger to yourself
and to society.

I'm not leaving
without my car, officer.

You will have to leave
without your car. I'm sorry.

-Come on. Take off your uniform.
-Excuse me?

Take out your uniform.

I'm protecting you
and the rest of the people.

I will beat the hell out of you.
Take it off!

Let's see if you keep saying
that when the lieutenant comes.

Let's see.

Can you explain
the situation?

The officer wanted to hit me.
I just wanted to defend myself.

-Calm down.
-No way, lieutenant.

I'm telling him that
he can't drive a car

in that drunken state.

Okay, okay.

But under these circumstances,
we can't let him go.

No, you made a mistake and
you know the mistake you made.

And unfortunately,
mistakes are paid dearly, right?

Apply the rule.

That's what I was telling
your partner.

We're talking
the same language, man.

-Exactly!
-Because at home

my wife is waiting for me,
damn.

Those moments with your family
are really appreciated.

How much is worth
one of those moments?

-Tell me.
-Around three thousand?

Well, we'd have to check
with the regulation, right?

According to the offense...

Here's what's stipulated.
It's a three thousand pesos fine

for your inappropriate
condition.

-Three thousand pesos.
-Three thousand pesos, yes.

That's it.
Take good care and

learn from your mistakes
so that you don't repeat them.

-Thanks for taking care of me.
-Let's go, Prieto, let's go.

These rookies, goddamnit.

Do you smell weed, lieutenant?

You do?

I don't think so.
Do it right.

Today you become a cop.
Take your part.

No, no, lieutenant.
I'm not taking that money.

I don't feel comfortable
and it doesn't feel right.

Look, Prieto,

I was once like you,

naive and dumb.

But you have to learn
how the system works.

Listen. If you only
collect the fine, that money

-goes to the state, okay?
-Right.

That means it will go
straight to the pockets

of some corrupt politician,

while you and me are living
on a tight budget!

-Does that seem fair?!
-No, lieutenant, the system

is corrupt, but it's not up
to me to come and change...

Okay, okay, easy, easy.

Relax.

I recommend you take your part

and buy something pretty
for your lady

and I hope that whatever
I tell you, you keep it for good

in the permanent citizenship
of your memory!

Sometimes

doing nothing

is doing everything.

Get it in your head,

learn it.

[music]

[police car siren]

[telephone ringing]

Thank you again, Ramírez.

-Yes, lieutenant.
-Thank you.

[sigh]

[laughter]

[screaming and laughter]

Who has put
this bullshit here?

-Did you like your present?
-It was you, prick?

-It was a present from the guys.
-Do you think it's funny?

-Listen, listen!
-Wait!

You're violent, man.
You're violent.

Do you know what
that video cost me, idiot?

-My daughter saw it!
-You should thank me.

-You are famous on the internet.
-It was you, moron!

Wait!

All Mexico had to see
the mess you are.

Eight years!
She's eight years old, moron!

Listen, listen.
Will you stop this mess?

We're sorry.

Let's see. Everyone
to my office right now!

(I'd simply like to add one)
(last thing: You, Cancellator,)

(I know you're watching me.)
(I won't rest)

(until I catch you,)
(until I find you.)

(Thank you, gentlemen.)

(And that's how the killer)
(who's taken the lives)

(of the internet stars has been)
(baptized "The Cancellator".)

I can't get distracted
for a second

because you go there
and do something stupid.

You act like little children,
damn it!

God made me sterile
not to have stupid kids,

but the devil punished me
putting me

in charge of a group of morons!

Excuse me, chief, but

honestly this has all been
Ramírez's idea.

If it was my idea, why
didn't you let me talk

-to the press?
-No one had to say anything.

Do you know
the mess you got us into?

Now everybody thinks
there is a serial killer.

Chief, forgive me, but
I couldn't stand the stress.

There were many things, many
cases and I talked to the press.

Forgive me, please. If you want,
I can talk to the press again

and tell them the whole thing
was a lie.

No, no, it's too late.

Now everybody's talking
about a certain "Cancellator"

and they're expecting
the police to take action.

So that means you'll let us
investigate the case?

Trujillo, Irma,

JR, I want you working
on this case day and night.

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, yes, chief!

-Hold on!
-Move!

-Chief, but...
-But nothing, Rosales.

I've made a decision.
This is their case.

Thank you, chief.
Excuse us.

I will get ready to be
called a national hero.

-Thank you, Ramírez!
-See you.

López, the file.

Yes, chief.

But, chief, I worked so hard
on this investigation.

You can't put Trujillo
in charge of the case.

Are you suggesting I should
give the case to a wild addict

and his rookie and
clumsy partner?

Is that what you want?

Get out!

Excuse me, chief.

[background voices]

[bang noise]

Hey, relax, Ramírez.
This is useless.

What will you tell me,
lieutenant?

I can't believe the chief
now supports

the theory of the serial killer.

This is my investigation,
not theirs.

I know, I know.

But things work that way
here. Haven't you realized?

And sometimes

you just have to accept it.

But

this

is not one of those times.

What?

Are we going to hand the case
so easily to these bastards?

No.

No, you and I are going
to find that killer, Ramírez.

I'm going to clean
my name, my nose

and the shared custody
of my daughter,

and you are going to become
the police officer

you've always wanted to be.

-But how?
-With my contacts,

my experience and
the nerdy things you do.

We're going to solve the case and
we're going to crush Trujillo.

So what?
Shall we do it or not?

Like a horse, like a horse,
you move, you move.

We're going to cancel
The Cancellator.
