Hermanos y detectives (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Hermanos y detectives - full transcript
Brothers and detectives
- Brothers be united.
Be careful. I got a lot of books stained.
- Watch out. It splashes.
- Watch it.
- How's it going? Fine?
- Yes, everything's fine.
- Fine, that?
- It's fine. This one's a little...
- This is me when I was little.
- Mansilla!
We should take everyone's statement.
Great.
- Lorenzo, come on!
- On the knife are the fingerprints
of all these people.
- This can't be him, either.
- This one can't be either. Let's rule him out.
- Kiss, kiss, kiss!
- Hold on. I have to make a call.
Marcela.
- Hello!
- Franco, we solved the case.
Remember the murder at the port?
I've been thinking about all the suspects.
This is the one.
He's got motive, he's got the alibi.
He's the killer.
- No...!
Today we present
Brothers and Detectives
- Montero, what a way to solve cases!
I really take my hat off to you.
- Teamwork, Samorini.
- Yeah, sure.
- Shall we order something to eat?
- Yes, but still let's take
a full statement from this man.
We have to be 100% sure it was him.
- Right.
- OK.
- Congratulations, Montero.
- Commissioner Bustos.
- May we have a word with you?
- Of course.
- Montero, the old police
with their corrupt practices,
its petty cash and so on
has to disappear.
We are in a process of change.
We must show very clear signals.
- As you well know, the Serrano
and the group of four affair
splashed everywhere.
The whole institution is under suspicion.
- The idea is to give young people a chance,
intelligent people, with desire, with drive,
and your record is amazing.
You alone solved more cases for me than
all the rest of the brigade put together.
- I must contradict you a little.
It's team effort.
- Montero, Deputy Commissioner Serrano's
position is vacant.
Who better to fill it than the one
who was able to dismantle
that network of corruption?
- I was told that I can be on probation
for a month, and that after that time
we can decide whether I continue or not.
Both they and I can decide that.
- No way out, Marcela, your destiny
is dating a deputy commissioner.
- It seems strange to me.
Who are those guys?
How do you know
they're not as corrupt as the rest?
- Marcela is right.
- They may have underlying intentions.
- It looks like a half-court goal to me.
- Why?
- Because it doesn't matter who they are
or what their intentions are,
they put you in a legitimate place of power.
From there you can make decisions
that tend to improve the institution,
even confronting those
who put you there, if necessary.
- This is not a custom in the force.
You don't betray those who put you there.
- You don't betray them,
but if they are a bunch of satraps
that only they want to put
a puppet to continue committing crimes
to hell with treason!
Here we're talking about revolution, people.
- That may be.
The system should be changed from inside.
- But one person alone
does not change the system.
- One person alone?
Are we a zero?
- Hello.
- How are you?
- What elegance!
- What?
- Nothing.
It's "Montero".
It says "Monetro".
- Fuck me!
You don't mind if I leave it like that?
I got fucked up sticking the letters.
I'll fix it in a week.
- Okay.
- Thanks, daddy.
- Come in.
- Good morning, deputy.
- Good morning, detective.
- Nervous?
- No.
- What a tragedy!
- What happened?
- Nothing, the suit, I mean.
- It's just that now...
- Nothing, it's a figure of speech. Look.
Here are the cases that are still pending.
Gerardo Sosa, 33 years old, was found dead
in the car with a shot in the back of the head.
- Do we know how far away the shot
was fired? What did ballistics say?
- Don't you want the cases first and then
the details? Because there are many.
- Makes sense.
- Jorge Cordova, electrician.
Coroner says he was electrocuted to death.
- Work accident.
- Could be, except he was missing a finger.
The killer took it as a trophy.
Two officers searched the ex-wife's house
and found it in her wallet, velvet-lined.
She used it as a keychain.
- It was the wife, then.
- She says the keychain
was a gift from a colleague in Córdoba.
Get ready because here's more.
Here we have Roxana Bricsky,
Valeria Lungarini and Gianina Celasco,
by day employees of a communications
company, by night prostitutes.
All three poisoned with arsenic.
- Any suspects?
Yes, go ahead.
- Did you disguise as a person, Montero?
- Bianchini! Come in.
What have you got?
- The cases that came in over the weekend.
- A lot of them?
- No, it was quiet.
Flavio Fava. He had a stroke
while chatting on his cell phone.
- We need to trace the messages
on that cell phone.
- Gustavo Cerantes, metalworker.
He was set on fire alive near the Alsina Bridge.
Aldo Campillo, greengrocer.
They ate him. They left some parts.
A neighbor says that the owners of the shop
next door have a history of cannibalism.
Two siblings, Diego and Karina Cuciti.
Ariel Ramírez and Carlos García
were thrown half-naked
from the attic of a convent.
It seems that they wanted to rape a nun.
The suspect is a hunchback who plays the
bell in the convent, the Galician Alonso.
Mercedes Gumboldt, Beatriz López,
offered oral sex in the Boedo area.
They were found stabbed at Pavón and Matheu.
When forensics performs the autopsy he
finds they were in fact two transvestites.
And finally a veterinarian, Juan Carlos Cabral.
He was found hanged
with the timing belt of a Fiat 600.
Several people claim that
he abused the animals he cared for.
We have two dogs, a rabbit,
and a groundhog in the lab.
- Yes?
- Franco.
I've got a big mess downtown.
A woman went crazy in line at
the supermarket. Rosa Indes y Canto.
She pulled out a 357 Magnum, started
shooting at cashiers and some customers.
Shall I go over there?
- Montero.
- What happened?
- The printer ran out of ink.
Will you authorize me to buy a new cartridge?
- What happened?
- It went like hell.
- Lorenzo, please, don't be rude.
- I'm sorry.
- How did it go?
- I told you.
- This is not for me.
It's definitely not for me.
I'll ask for my resignation tomorrow,
get my old job back, and that's it.
I can't help it.
- Why? What happened to you?
- It's impossible. It's a disaster.
Apocalyptic.
You can't imagine how hard it is to be there,
how many cases come in. It's impossible.
- You have to be well organized, but...
- But nothing, Lorenzo.
We used to solve one or two cases a week.
This is different. It's over.
I've already decided.
- To decide something like that
you must take some distance.
You are an honest, intelligent,
hard-working person.
It's a relief to have
someone like you in that place.
Everything will fall into place somehow.
Give yourself a chance, at least.
- Marcela is right, Franco.
Think about genetics.
- What does this guy say?
- What does genetics
have to do with it, Lorenzo?
- A cell replicates millions of identical cells.
To understand the behavior of one is
to understand the behavior of all.
The deductive method is the key.
Once everyone in the brigade understands
this, he will be able to delegate.
- That's fine. I think that's wonderful.
What's your plan?
You're going to train the guys yourself?
- Yes, both of us together.
Some of them already know me.
They even think I'm kind of a genius.
Let them stand me for a while. One hour a week.
We can prepare good people, Franco.
Everyone must have some hidden talent.
We have to find it and apply it to research.
- No, Marcela, please.
There's the answering machine. Let it answer.
That's enough for today.
- Dear Montero, this is Dr. Steinbrook
speaking. Do you remember me?
I'm the lawyer who was in charge
of the probate proceedings
after your father's death.
I have excellent news for you.
I never forget your reaction when you found out
that you had to take care of Lorenzo.
Be glad. It seems that you won't have
to take care of him anymore.
But I prefer to tell you personally.
If it's convenient for you,
let's meet tomorrow at the door
of the French Embassy, there,
in Arroyo Street, at 9:30 in the morning.
Please also bring Lorenzo.
Best regards, Montero.
And following Dr. Frenkel's recommendations,
your father took care of...
- Excuse me, "father" is not correct.
With me he never behaved as such.
- Well, Mr. Gregorio Montero,
a few months before his death
called the, pardon my English,
International Program for Brilliant Minds.
In Spanish "Programa internacional
para mentes brillantes".
It is headquartered in Paris.
It's under the UN and it's unique in the world.
If you allow me, Montero,
I'd like to accompany the information
with this brochure. I want you to see it.
You may know very well that in Argentina
as in a large part of Latin America
and the world
education for gifted children
is not developed at all.
What is more, a child with
above-normal abilities must be content only
to accelerate his or her studies.
But at what cost?
Losing contact with other children his age,
which generates a feeling of isolation.
In the long run this emerges as anguish
and an overachiever ends up hating his gift,
forever burying
his superior intellectual capacities.
- Like Marcelo Marcote.
- Marcelo Marcote!
He was a very popular child actor
a few decades ago. -I understand.
- Professor Fidel Miranda, of Peruvian origin,
is in charge of recruiting brilliant minds
throughout Latin America
and incorporating them into the curriculum.
- I'm sorry, incorporating...? He could attend
the courses from here over the Internet.
- No, it would not be through the Internet, sir.
When I read the tests
Dr. Frenkel did on Lorenzo
I was mightily astonished.
I confess I was anxious to meet him.
- But I can't leave.
I have a lot of things to do.
- Let him talk.
- It's the truth. My brother just got promoted
to deputy commissioner
and I help him with the homicides.
- That's the police job.
I don't doubt your qualities as a detective
but maybe you're destined
for a more sophisticated destiny.
- I think the cases are very sophisticated.
- What I mean is that crimes
can be cleared up or not,
but once they are committed
there's no going back.
- But once solved,
killers who might reoffend are caught
and the victims' families get peace.
Is that not enough?
- It seems little compared to
how much a mind like yours
could help mankind.
Wouldn't you like to know the answers to
the world's big questions, Lorenzo?
To know why every culture has a god?
What was contained in the library of Alexandria?
Is the translation of the Rosetta Stone correct?
Can one really travel in time?
What is the origin of the universe?
I want you to understand
the importance of what we're offering you here.
The Paris campus has a scientific laboratory,
an astronomical observatory,
a library with more than 15,000 titles,
a concert hall,
an exhibition hall for traveling exhibitions
of the world's most important museums.
Every week, world personalities are invited
to give a lecture.
Next week
is the turn of Stephen Hawking.
But the most important thing is
that Lorenzo will be surrounded
by boys and girls of his own age
with similar characteristics to his own.
- I think it's really wonderful
but we don't have the money
to afford this kind of education.
- That's why this program exists, Franco.
All the students are on scholarship.
The IPBM is supported by donations
from all over the world.
- Could he come and visit me?
- I guess that we could arrange
one visit a year.
The only thing you have to do
is prepare for an examination
in the areas of logic, physics, and mathematics.
- Okay.
- Professor Miranda
would even agree to authorize
the program to cover our expenses
for counseling and administration.
- Do you want to go?
- I don't know. Do you want me to stay?
Brothers and detectives
- Excuse me, guys.
Can we put the cigarettes out for a second?
Please. I don't want bother you.
Can't work like this.
Sorry.
Oh, God!
- Bianchini has the coroner's report
on the Ramírez-García case.
- Good. What does it say?
- That both bodies were dead
before they hit the ground.
It's common if you're thrown from
a great height to infarct during the fall.
But the two of them together?
That's a lot of coincidence.
- Sorry, the Ramirez-Garcia case was...
- Theoretically, Rodríguez and García
tried to rape the nun...
- The convent bell tower.
- What does Alonso say?
That he pushed them to defend the nun.
That he didn't mean to kill them,
he did it just to get them off him.
They stumbled and fell.
- Then why does the coroner
say they died before they fell?
Evidently there is something wrong there.
- That's what we are talking about, Montero.
There's someone here not telling the truth.
- That's it, you're on the right track.
Keep it up.
I'll be back.
- I got what you asked for.
Fidel Miranda, born in Peru in 1942.
He himself was a child prodigy.
He studied physics and mathematics
at the University of Michigan for 30 years.
He lectured in Berlin,
Dubai, Toronto, Paris, Málaga.
In 1979 he developed an early childhood
education project for third world countries
and was successfully implemented
in India and South Africa.
- Bright Minds Program?
- Yes, it does exist.
It began in 1984.
Miranda himself is in charge
of selecting and detecting children
with special aptitudes in the area.
There are only three openings per year
for all of Latin America.
- Thank you.
- Hello.
- How are you doing?
Everything okay?
- Yes. Would you like a mate?
- And you, how did it go?
- It went well.
- Did you make progress with any cases?
- Yes, with several.
We made progress, yes.
- Which ones?
- Lorenzo, concentrate on your work, please.
You can't be at the mass
and the procession simultaneously.
- Do you need help with anything?
- No.
Anything, I'll let you know.
- Did you know that the Campus operates
in the same place where Rousseau
wrote The Social Contract?
- How wonderful!
Rousseau.
What's the use?
- Are you angry?
- No. I'm a little tired.
Why?
- I just thought.
- You thought wrong.
- You really don't want me to help you?
- I don't want you to help me
with anything, Lorenzo.
Let me make it clear.
You are for something else.
Take care of the luminous aspects
of the universe
while you get massages at the university spa.
I'll take care of the rest, the dark.
- Don't be like that.
- Lorenzo, seriously, I tell you from my heart.
Find what books are missing
in the library of Alexandria,
find if you can travel through time,
take pictures of the dinosaurs,
I'll take care of the society's worst.
And if I don't have the head
to solve all of this
I send everything to the fucking mother
who gave birth to it all
and that's it.
- It must be Professor Miranda.
- Professor Miranda
who came to help you with your homework?
- Hello.
- Fidel Miranda, Franco.
- Yes. Let's see. Come in.
- No. He got tickets at the Colón
and then invited me to lunch.
- You said yes?
- Yes.
- With whose permission?
- I thought you were
going to sleep at Marcela's.
- You thought wrong. Excuse me.
- Yes.
- Good night, Franco.
I brought you a small gift
to decorate your abode.
- Thank you.
Shall I open it?
- Of course.
It's the Inca goddess of fertility.
- Please.
- Hi. How's it going, Lorenzo?
I got here early because
I was afraid I'd get lost.
I don't do well in the suburbs.
- Thank you. It will have
a privileged place in my house,
but I regret to inform you that he
won't be able to go to the theater.
- How inconvenient! For what reason?
- He's in penance.
- Penance?
- He's right. I didn't ask permission
to go to the opera today.
- I'm sure we can work this out.
Because you won't allow Lorenzo
to be deprived of a staging
of The Marriage of Figaro.
- Yes, I will allow it, and no.
It can't be arranged, sir.
There are things that can't be arranged.
Did you make a gesture?
- What?
- Did you wink at him?
Because he laughed in my face.
- Franco, I swear I didn't do anything.
Please, calm down.
- You calm down, Lorenzo.
You're a bit nervous today.
- What do you think if you two
go to the opera together
and when you leave, the three of us
get together and have dinner?
- Professor, the only way I'm going to the opera
is if there's a tenor murdered.
So please respect my decision.
Surely there's someone
who can accompany you tonight.
- Excuse me, guys.
- Ostrich!
- Montero, I didn't forget.
Next week I'll pay you back
the two bottles of beer I owe you.
- You only asked for one, Ostrich.
- But I'll ask for another one.
How's it going? Ostrich Lopez.
- Fidel Miranda. How do you do?
- Pleased to meet you.
- Ostrich, do you like opera?
- I love it. My band has
a lot of opera influence.
Believe it or not.
- And you didn't let him go.
- No. I acted like an idiot.
I couldn't help it.
- I don't know if you acted like an idiot.
Clearly there's something bothering you.
- Waitress.
- I'll be right with you.
- Clearly there's something bothering you.
I cherish Lorenzo.
But it's also true that one day
he falls from the stratosphere,
he moves into your house, you take care of
him, he convinces you to accept a position,
and when you need him the most, he moves out.
- That's one way of looking at it, but this
is a really unmissable opportunity for him.
- That's fine. I'm not saying no,
but he might as well
consider it for the future, for next year.
- What Mansilla says is true.
You need him a lot right now.
You are also in a unique opportunity.
- But he's a child, Marcela.
- Genius, a child genius.
- Waitress!
- Can you stop, Slim?
- I can't stop, goose. Shut your mouth.
I've been calling her for half an hour.
- Please, Franco. He's right.
I'm working. I beg you.
Excuse me, sir.
- Stay calm. I'll take care of him.
- I have nothing to offer him.
That's just it.
I've got a one-room apartment,
I've got the annual police ball,
I have a week in Goicoechea's hotel,
from the union.
I have nothing to give him.
- That's the problem, Franco,
you have no idea what you're worth.
You're totally crazy.
What you gave him nobody else would.
How can't you see that?
I can see how you love him.
- Besides, we don't need him that much.
- Please, what are you saying?
Without him we don't know what to do.
With Serrano at least the cases
that were entrusted to us got solved,
but now not even that.
- Because we are disorganized.
But Lorenzo didn't solve the cases alone.
- Please, Mansilla! What are you saying?
- He did his part, but it was a team effort.
Who climbed on the roofs
to chase the fat man Tolosa?
Who went into the asylum to interrogate that
madman who thought he was King Kong?
Who captured Roque Peralta?
Who fought against the Russian acrobats?
Who was convinced that something strange
was going on around the Reyes heiress?
Who prevented Deputy Commissioner
Serrano from being killed?
Who saved Lorenzo from being buried alive?
Who worried when the kids
in the building bullied him?
Who risked his life to get Lorenzo
off the train tracks?
- Lorenzo is unique.
He has no replacement.
That doesn't mean you've stopped being useful.
You have to look for help from other people,
nothing else.
You know you can count on us.
- Envido. -Fault envido.
- I want. -30. -31.
- Guys, let's go to the conference room
and bring the progress
of your respective cases, please.
- What happened?
We're just warming up.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, guys.
Sit down, please.
- That's better.
- What happened to the suit, Montero?
You got fired?
- It's at the dry cleaners.
Fortunato, instead of playing cards so much
concentrate on the case I gave you,
it's been three days since I've heard any news.
- You're on edge!
Did you take a Viagra, Montero?
- Are you hungry?
- Actually, at this hour, yes.
- Good!
- Pumpkin, you've gone too far with all this!
- Samorini, don't get out of line.
- Guys, I gathered you to tell you
that from today on we'll meet every morning
for breakfast together at 8:00.
We'll divide tasks, then each one
concentrates on his own case,
before we leave we have another meeting,
and we collate the progress that
has been made. Is that clear?
- No, leave it. It's paid.
- You're humiliating me.
Commissioner salary.
- The crocodiles are in the boss's pocket.
He must have them at the dry cleaners
so they don't drown.
- We'll record every conversation we have
so we can record any ideas that may come up.
- Are you going to work for
SIDE (State Intelligence Agency) now?
- Do you have any other jokes to tell?
- We're done here.
- Okay, let's get to work.
Smith.
You're on the transvestite case.
- That's right.
- Tell me what progress has been made.
- Little or nothing. They lived together
in a boarding house in Balvanera.
The coroner confirmed
they were stabbed to death.
Not much more.
- We've had that information for a week.
- That's what I have, Montero.
There hasn't been much progress.
- You're not waiting for the killer to call you
and tell you how he killed him, are you?
- I've been a detective for five years
and you're not going to explain to me
how this works.
- I was a detective for three months and
I've already become a deputy commissioner.
And my team has been solving
one case after another,
so we can tell you a lot about how this works.
We're also considering
who'll stay and who won't.
- Are you planning to fire me?
- No, I don't want to fire you.
I know your wife is having health problems.
I won't like to fire you,
but you can't come here so relaxed
to tell me nothing about this case.
I gave it to you a week ago.
There are many questions: Who were
the clients of these transvestites?
Were there any powerful people related to them?
Why did someone want to kill them?
What did they see, what did they hear?
You can't come to the morning meeting
telling me that they live in Balvanera.
- I didn't know
about the meeting in the morning.
- Now you know about the morning meeting
and you know there's another one in the
afternoon so please have some progress.
- All right. Stay calm.
It won't happen again.
- Good.
Fortunato.
The vet's crime. Tell me how it's coming.
- Good. I have a lot of data.
But why don't you go on with the others,
I feel like going to the bathroom.
- Franco.
- What are you doing here, Lorenzo?
- I took the 88 to Miserere square
and from there the 132.
- What's up?
- Last night I stayed up late
studying to leave me the day off
and today I got up early and prepared a diagram
that explains the deductive method.
I made photocopies for everyone.
- Lorenzo, stop.
We are... My brother Lorenzo
is about to go to Europe.
He got a scholarship from the UN to one
of the most prestigious universities.
He was going to teach us a method he developed,
more intellectual, more original,
of police deduction.
- It's simple. I believe that
if we follow the steps of the scheme
we can find fundamental data
for the investigations.
- I don't think it will be necessary.
We are very well organized here, we have
our own method, so I thank you very much.
- Fine, but I think you'll be better off
if you follow the scheme...
- It's not fine by me.
I think it's wrong for you to come here
to my work as if it were a club
to tell me what I have to do
in front of my colleagues.
- But this can help.
- Lorenzo, take the 88 and go home now.
- Don't be mean. I want to share...
- I have nothing to share with you, damn it!
It's over!
There's no more room for you here!
Is that clear to you?!
Brothers and detectives
- Lorenzo, forgive me.
I didn't mean to say something so ugly.
Forgive me. You don't know
how grateful I am for all your help.
- I thought that if I studied during the night
and in the morning worked on the scheme
we could have more free time to solve a case.
- Don't cry anymore. Please.
You don't have to work on any case.
What you have to do now is
to study calmly, without guilt.
Prepare for the exam.
Seriously. This is very important.
I'll manage.
The police station will work much better
with me than with Serrano.
That will be a step forward. That's it.
Don't worry.
- I realized that you didn't like
Professor Miranda very much.
- It's not that I don't like him.
I got a little jealous.
Imagine, this guy comes one day and
tells you everything you want to hear.
He offers you a wonderful world.
I felt useless next to him.
I behaved like an idiot. That's true.
But I beg your pardon.
Since you arrived, you don't know
how my life has changed.
Put yourself in my place.
I had a gray, bitter life,
but it was mine, and it was predictable,
and it was quiet.
You arrived one day and
we started solving cases together.
I started to grow professionally.
I fell in love for the first time in my life.
Everything since you arrived.
Now this guy, Miranda, arrives,
and you want to go with him.
He offers you everything I can't give you.
I felt like an asshole, Lorenzo.
- Then I'm not leaving, and that's it.
I don't want to be without you either.
- That's what you have to do.
I've already investigated the guy.
This is a serious guy.
- You investigated him?
- I investigated him. What the fuck?
He's a serious guy.
The scholarship he's offering you
combined with your intelligence...
And you have no limit, Lorenzo.
You are going to grow a lot.
- I still have to pass the exam.
- You will pass it.
If you don't pass it,
we'll grab Miranda and beat him up.
Are we friends?
- Friends.
- Brothers?
- And detectives.
Can I explain the scheme to these people
and try to get one more case with you?
Please.
The first thing is
the classic field investigation,
which has to be detailed
and as objective as possible.
We collect information avoiding the biasing
of the researcher's preconceptions.
- Okay, Lorenzo, but that's what we always do.
- Exactly. What is new
is the second stage of three phases,
analogous to the scientific research method.
Here the first thing is
to correctly state the enigma.
That is, given a certain amount of certainty,
what's missing? What's the unknown?
- What happened.
- If we don't know what happened, yes.
But maybe we do know what happened.
Then our unknown would be
why what happened happened.
But maybe we know what happened and why
it happened, but something doesn't add up.
So our question would be what for
what happened happened. Right?
- Guys, I'm sorry, but got absolutely dull.
I can't think of anything else.
I need some air.
- It's logical, this room has no windows.
It's an ass hole.
- Lorenzo, the vocabulary, please.
This room was given to us by the State.
We didn't choose it. It's the way it is.
- But it's crazy, Franco.
You work with creativity,
which is what allows you to relate concepts
that seem disconnected
and find a new point of view on the same issue.
Creativity originates in the brain.
The brain needs good oxygenation to work well.
How big is this room?
- 7.50 long by 3.80 wide.
- And about 3 meters high.
- It's the genes, guys.
- 225 + 600.
Equals 85.5 cubic meters.
There's eight of us.
Which would give a total
of 1920 liters of oxygen per hour
and taking into account
that we expire carbon dioxide...
No, gentlemen,
there's not enough air here to think.
Keep it up, you will put any guy in jail.
- Which makes us suspect that there may be
another implicit relationship
beyond the one that in principle...
- I bought some biscuits.
- Well done, you took the challenge!
- Of course. Help yourselves.
- The first thing we looked at in the case
of Ariel Ramirez and Carlos Garcia
was the presumption of rape
and we followed all those leads,
but with what Lorenzo said we set about
trying to bridge the two worlds:
What could the convent have to do
with these two cabaret thugs?
- There's also the doberman's owner,
the sheepdog's owner,
and the dalmatian's owner.
- Girls, give me your phone number right
away because I'm doing a survey.
Give me the phone. Don't put that face.
- Samorini!
Come on, man. What are you doing?
- A mate, Lorenzo?
- That's why with Fortunato we tried to find
a connection between the dalmatian's owner
and the owner of the car repair shop.
We couldn't find that clue
until we discovered that the Fiat 600
belongs to the ex-wife of the dalmatian's owner.
- I got it, guys! It's the judge!
- He's right, it's the judge!
- He was the only one who had access
to the safe deposit box.
Who would stop him at the entrance?
Everybody knew him.
- Stay calm.
Lift your hands.
Take it easy.
- Come on, Kamijo.
Daniel Arrieta?
It's about the vet matter.
You'll have to come with us.
- Cuff him, boys.
- Case solved.
He's great, your brother.
- And you used to call him Calculín.
How incredible, this! You can't believe it.
The nun with the hunchback dealing cocaine.
Congratulations, Bianchini. You set an example.
All you needed was a little air in your head.
- Fuck you, Montero!
- Don't get mad!
- It's ready, Montero.
- Great. Thank you.
Bianchini!
Order two bottles of champagne
to celebrate with the guys.
Two bottles.
- Good day.
Can we talk to you?
- Of course. Come in, please.
- So a record number, huh?
- Well, we're very pleased.
All the cases that came
to us have evolved and
we've reached a
successful conclusion, so...
- Montero, I don't know
what the fuck you're up to,
but I warn you that all that shit
you do in the forest,
the breakfasts on the terrace,
I don't like any of that too much.
I don't know if you're trying to get
attention from the press, or what,
but I recommend you not to act cool.
- You know what's wrong, Montero?
So many cases solved in such a short time
speak very well of you but very badly
of the rest of the force.
To make a long story short, you are making
us all look like a bunch of fools.
That makes a lot of people nervous.
The suggestion, and I hope you will take it,
is that you ease up a little bit,
take your foot off the gas.
You are young and the career is very long.
We want things to change
but not so much.
I don't know if I make myself clear.
- What if I don't accept?
- Don't go too far, I'll make you shit fire
in five seconds.
- No one here wants to play too cool.
On the contrary.
Here we're people who work very seriously.
Do you know what happens?
When you do things well
a lot of enthusiasm is generated.
It's an energy that is contagious.
So, unless you want to start a shootout now
this recording is going to stay
in my possession.
If something bad happens to me
it will be ready to be delivered to all
the judges of the Capital and the Province.
Let me work in peace
and let me do things right.
Agreed?
Mansilla.
The gentlemen are leaving.
- Porrillo, will you accompany
the gentlemen downstairs?
- See you soon.
- See you soon.
- There's a lot of fun here.
This asshole doesn't know who he's messing with.
- We're on the right track.
The passport will be delivered tomorrow.
The study visa is issued
directly by the French embassy.
The only thing that's left
for Mr. Montero to sign
is the authorization for the minor
to leave the country.
- The only thing.
- The only thing.
- That child is brilliant.
Look how focused he is.
We can expect great things
from him in his future.
I can see it in every gesture.
- How did you do at the opera with the Ostrich?
- Splendid. A charming guy.
Unfortunately he couldn't stay until the end
because he had to go and play with his own band.
- He finished.
- Finished.
- I take a few minutes to put the answers
into my computer and I'll be right back.
Get your pen ready.
How was it? How did it go?
- It went very well.
- I'm glad to hear it.
Brothers and detectives
- I don't think it'll all fit.
- It's a carry-on bag.
You don't want to load it too much.
- Lorenzo, are you going to read
all this on the plane?
- No, I'm not going to read it on the plane.
As I have strabismus I get dizzy.
It's for reading in the boarding lounge.
- You'd better leave a lot of things behind
so you come visit us soon.
- Maybe it's better to take everything with you.
Maybe we won't see each other again.
You grow apart as time goes by.
- Don't be a son of a bitch.
- It's a joke.
I'm nervous too.
Here, captain. Here's your passport.
- I'm leaving the Corduroy pants
because they're too small.
- Lorenzo, I'll put here in the pocket
of this jacket the chewing gum
in case your ears get blocked during takeoff.
- Thank you, Marcela.
Can I tell you something?
I never had a mother and
I always dreamed of having one,
but I never thought it'd be as nice as you.
- My love!
- Lorenzo, let's try
to have a civilized farewell.
No low blows. Please.
- How I'm going to miss this house!
I've never been so happy in a place like here.
- Can you?
- Yes, get in.
- We won't get there in time this way.
- What time is it?
- 10 past o'clock.
- Let's relax, please.
- # I have so many brothers
# I can't count them.
# In the valley, the mountain #
- # When you were born I was only six years old.
# What a great joy,
# I would soon have a brother!
# And you arrived at 9:10...
# One morning at the end of May... #
- # Brother... #
- # Forgive me if I tell you, my brother,..,
# that I didn't feel like writing to you. #
- We can use the siren.
- # I don't know if it's the confinement,
# I don't know if it's the food,
# or the time I've already spent in this life.
# You're doing better, I hope,
# traveling around the world. #
- There's Professor Miranda.
- Professor!
- Lorenzo! I thought you'd be late.
- Did he miss the flight?
- Not yet, but we're on a tight schedule.
I was beginning to despair.
Please, the documents.
I'll do the paperwork myself, the check-in.
Please say goodbye quickly.
- Okay.
- What's the use?
Our friend is leaving us.
Don't get into trouble.
- Promise me you'll take
good care of my brother.
- I promise.
- Partner.
Come on, let's hug.
- Somebody do something!
- Montero.
It's time.
- Gate nine.
Goodbye, Franco.
I'll call as soon as we get to Paris.
Don't worry. He'll be fine.
- Take good care of him.
- Thank you.
- Have a good trip.
- Thanks for everything.
- Thanks to you.
- To you. I mean it.
- Help!
- What happened?
What happened, ma'am?
- My husband suddenly fainted.
- The husband is dead.
- Lorenzo, for God's sake!
- Gentlemen, please call an ambulance.
- An ambulance is urgently requested
in sector A, gate two.
Urgent, I repeat.
- And that glass?
- What are you doing here, Lorenzo?
- They gave it to him in the free shop.
There was a tasting.
We just came from London.
- Lorenzo! We're missing the plane!
- Who gave it to him, madam?
- Lorenzo, please go.
- A free shop employee gave it to him.
He was in a light blue shirt.
- He lost his pulse two minutes ago.
Lorenzo, you have to go.
In a light blue shirt, from the free shop.
A glass of wine.
Is the ambulance coming?
- It's leaving! Please!
I can't believe it.
- Please, we're doing our best.
- Franco, the free shop employees don't wear
light blue shirts, they wear red shirts.
- Lorenzo, please, go over there.
- We have to close the whole airport.
He could have been poisoned.
Did he have enemies, ma'am?
- Who is this boy?
- Come here.
- Please, I beg you, close the whole airport.
This man may have been poisoned.
Please.
Close all exits.
- Come on, Lorenzo. Come here.
Come on, you'll miss the plane. Please.
- Son, you'll give a heart stroke, too.
- There they are. I can't believe it.
Passengers Miranda and Montero.
Boarding passes and documentation, please.
- Remember to keep the glass as evidence.
- Lorenzo, go.
- Come in, please.
- Goodbye, Franco.
- Are you coming or staying?
Are you coming or staying?
- Although it could also have been the wife.
- Brothers be united.
Be careful. I got a lot of books stained.
- Watch out. It splashes.
- Watch it.
- How's it going? Fine?
- Yes, everything's fine.
- Fine, that?
- It's fine. This one's a little...
- This is me when I was little.
- Mansilla!
We should take everyone's statement.
Great.
- Lorenzo, come on!
- On the knife are the fingerprints
of all these people.
- This can't be him, either.
- This one can't be either. Let's rule him out.
- Kiss, kiss, kiss!
- Hold on. I have to make a call.
Marcela.
- Hello!
- Franco, we solved the case.
Remember the murder at the port?
I've been thinking about all the suspects.
This is the one.
He's got motive, he's got the alibi.
He's the killer.
- No...!
Today we present
Brothers and Detectives
- Montero, what a way to solve cases!
I really take my hat off to you.
- Teamwork, Samorini.
- Yeah, sure.
- Shall we order something to eat?
- Yes, but still let's take
a full statement from this man.
We have to be 100% sure it was him.
- Right.
- OK.
- Congratulations, Montero.
- Commissioner Bustos.
- May we have a word with you?
- Of course.
- Montero, the old police
with their corrupt practices,
its petty cash and so on
has to disappear.
We are in a process of change.
We must show very clear signals.
- As you well know, the Serrano
and the group of four affair
splashed everywhere.
The whole institution is under suspicion.
- The idea is to give young people a chance,
intelligent people, with desire, with drive,
and your record is amazing.
You alone solved more cases for me than
all the rest of the brigade put together.
- I must contradict you a little.
It's team effort.
- Montero, Deputy Commissioner Serrano's
position is vacant.
Who better to fill it than the one
who was able to dismantle
that network of corruption?
- I was told that I can be on probation
for a month, and that after that time
we can decide whether I continue or not.
Both they and I can decide that.
- No way out, Marcela, your destiny
is dating a deputy commissioner.
- It seems strange to me.
Who are those guys?
How do you know
they're not as corrupt as the rest?
- Marcela is right.
- They may have underlying intentions.
- It looks like a half-court goal to me.
- Why?
- Because it doesn't matter who they are
or what their intentions are,
they put you in a legitimate place of power.
From there you can make decisions
that tend to improve the institution,
even confronting those
who put you there, if necessary.
- This is not a custom in the force.
You don't betray those who put you there.
- You don't betray them,
but if they are a bunch of satraps
that only they want to put
a puppet to continue committing crimes
to hell with treason!
Here we're talking about revolution, people.
- That may be.
The system should be changed from inside.
- But one person alone
does not change the system.
- One person alone?
Are we a zero?
- Hello.
- How are you?
- What elegance!
- What?
- Nothing.
It's "Montero".
It says "Monetro".
- Fuck me!
You don't mind if I leave it like that?
I got fucked up sticking the letters.
I'll fix it in a week.
- Okay.
- Thanks, daddy.
- Come in.
- Good morning, deputy.
- Good morning, detective.
- Nervous?
- No.
- What a tragedy!
- What happened?
- Nothing, the suit, I mean.
- It's just that now...
- Nothing, it's a figure of speech. Look.
Here are the cases that are still pending.
Gerardo Sosa, 33 years old, was found dead
in the car with a shot in the back of the head.
- Do we know how far away the shot
was fired? What did ballistics say?
- Don't you want the cases first and then
the details? Because there are many.
- Makes sense.
- Jorge Cordova, electrician.
Coroner says he was electrocuted to death.
- Work accident.
- Could be, except he was missing a finger.
The killer took it as a trophy.
Two officers searched the ex-wife's house
and found it in her wallet, velvet-lined.
She used it as a keychain.
- It was the wife, then.
- She says the keychain
was a gift from a colleague in Córdoba.
Get ready because here's more.
Here we have Roxana Bricsky,
Valeria Lungarini and Gianina Celasco,
by day employees of a communications
company, by night prostitutes.
All three poisoned with arsenic.
- Any suspects?
Yes, go ahead.
- Did you disguise as a person, Montero?
- Bianchini! Come in.
What have you got?
- The cases that came in over the weekend.
- A lot of them?
- No, it was quiet.
Flavio Fava. He had a stroke
while chatting on his cell phone.
- We need to trace the messages
on that cell phone.
- Gustavo Cerantes, metalworker.
He was set on fire alive near the Alsina Bridge.
Aldo Campillo, greengrocer.
They ate him. They left some parts.
A neighbor says that the owners of the shop
next door have a history of cannibalism.
Two siblings, Diego and Karina Cuciti.
Ariel Ramírez and Carlos García
were thrown half-naked
from the attic of a convent.
It seems that they wanted to rape a nun.
The suspect is a hunchback who plays the
bell in the convent, the Galician Alonso.
Mercedes Gumboldt, Beatriz López,
offered oral sex in the Boedo area.
They were found stabbed at Pavón and Matheu.
When forensics performs the autopsy he
finds they were in fact two transvestites.
And finally a veterinarian, Juan Carlos Cabral.
He was found hanged
with the timing belt of a Fiat 600.
Several people claim that
he abused the animals he cared for.
We have two dogs, a rabbit,
and a groundhog in the lab.
- Yes?
- Franco.
I've got a big mess downtown.
A woman went crazy in line at
the supermarket. Rosa Indes y Canto.
She pulled out a 357 Magnum, started
shooting at cashiers and some customers.
Shall I go over there?
- Montero.
- What happened?
- The printer ran out of ink.
Will you authorize me to buy a new cartridge?
- What happened?
- It went like hell.
- Lorenzo, please, don't be rude.
- I'm sorry.
- How did it go?
- I told you.
- This is not for me.
It's definitely not for me.
I'll ask for my resignation tomorrow,
get my old job back, and that's it.
I can't help it.
- Why? What happened to you?
- It's impossible. It's a disaster.
Apocalyptic.
You can't imagine how hard it is to be there,
how many cases come in. It's impossible.
- You have to be well organized, but...
- But nothing, Lorenzo.
We used to solve one or two cases a week.
This is different. It's over.
I've already decided.
- To decide something like that
you must take some distance.
You are an honest, intelligent,
hard-working person.
It's a relief to have
someone like you in that place.
Everything will fall into place somehow.
Give yourself a chance, at least.
- Marcela is right, Franco.
Think about genetics.
- What does this guy say?
- What does genetics
have to do with it, Lorenzo?
- A cell replicates millions of identical cells.
To understand the behavior of one is
to understand the behavior of all.
The deductive method is the key.
Once everyone in the brigade understands
this, he will be able to delegate.
- That's fine. I think that's wonderful.
What's your plan?
You're going to train the guys yourself?
- Yes, both of us together.
Some of them already know me.
They even think I'm kind of a genius.
Let them stand me for a while. One hour a week.
We can prepare good people, Franco.
Everyone must have some hidden talent.
We have to find it and apply it to research.
- No, Marcela, please.
There's the answering machine. Let it answer.
That's enough for today.
- Dear Montero, this is Dr. Steinbrook
speaking. Do you remember me?
I'm the lawyer who was in charge
of the probate proceedings
after your father's death.
I have excellent news for you.
I never forget your reaction when you found out
that you had to take care of Lorenzo.
Be glad. It seems that you won't have
to take care of him anymore.
But I prefer to tell you personally.
If it's convenient for you,
let's meet tomorrow at the door
of the French Embassy, there,
in Arroyo Street, at 9:30 in the morning.
Please also bring Lorenzo.
Best regards, Montero.
And following Dr. Frenkel's recommendations,
your father took care of...
- Excuse me, "father" is not correct.
With me he never behaved as such.
- Well, Mr. Gregorio Montero,
a few months before his death
called the, pardon my English,
International Program for Brilliant Minds.
In Spanish "Programa internacional
para mentes brillantes".
It is headquartered in Paris.
It's under the UN and it's unique in the world.
If you allow me, Montero,
I'd like to accompany the information
with this brochure. I want you to see it.
You may know very well that in Argentina
as in a large part of Latin America
and the world
education for gifted children
is not developed at all.
What is more, a child with
above-normal abilities must be content only
to accelerate his or her studies.
But at what cost?
Losing contact with other children his age,
which generates a feeling of isolation.
In the long run this emerges as anguish
and an overachiever ends up hating his gift,
forever burying
his superior intellectual capacities.
- Like Marcelo Marcote.
- Marcelo Marcote!
He was a very popular child actor
a few decades ago. -I understand.
- Professor Fidel Miranda, of Peruvian origin,
is in charge of recruiting brilliant minds
throughout Latin America
and incorporating them into the curriculum.
- I'm sorry, incorporating...? He could attend
the courses from here over the Internet.
- No, it would not be through the Internet, sir.
When I read the tests
Dr. Frenkel did on Lorenzo
I was mightily astonished.
I confess I was anxious to meet him.
- But I can't leave.
I have a lot of things to do.
- Let him talk.
- It's the truth. My brother just got promoted
to deputy commissioner
and I help him with the homicides.
- That's the police job.
I don't doubt your qualities as a detective
but maybe you're destined
for a more sophisticated destiny.
- I think the cases are very sophisticated.
- What I mean is that crimes
can be cleared up or not,
but once they are committed
there's no going back.
- But once solved,
killers who might reoffend are caught
and the victims' families get peace.
Is that not enough?
- It seems little compared to
how much a mind like yours
could help mankind.
Wouldn't you like to know the answers to
the world's big questions, Lorenzo?
To know why every culture has a god?
What was contained in the library of Alexandria?
Is the translation of the Rosetta Stone correct?
Can one really travel in time?
What is the origin of the universe?
I want you to understand
the importance of what we're offering you here.
The Paris campus has a scientific laboratory,
an astronomical observatory,
a library with more than 15,000 titles,
a concert hall,
an exhibition hall for traveling exhibitions
of the world's most important museums.
Every week, world personalities are invited
to give a lecture.
Next week
is the turn of Stephen Hawking.
But the most important thing is
that Lorenzo will be surrounded
by boys and girls of his own age
with similar characteristics to his own.
- I think it's really wonderful
but we don't have the money
to afford this kind of education.
- That's why this program exists, Franco.
All the students are on scholarship.
The IPBM is supported by donations
from all over the world.
- Could he come and visit me?
- I guess that we could arrange
one visit a year.
The only thing you have to do
is prepare for an examination
in the areas of logic, physics, and mathematics.
- Okay.
- Professor Miranda
would even agree to authorize
the program to cover our expenses
for counseling and administration.
- Do you want to go?
- I don't know. Do you want me to stay?
Brothers and detectives
- Excuse me, guys.
Can we put the cigarettes out for a second?
Please. I don't want bother you.
Can't work like this.
Sorry.
Oh, God!
- Bianchini has the coroner's report
on the Ramírez-García case.
- Good. What does it say?
- That both bodies were dead
before they hit the ground.
It's common if you're thrown from
a great height to infarct during the fall.
But the two of them together?
That's a lot of coincidence.
- Sorry, the Ramirez-Garcia case was...
- Theoretically, Rodríguez and García
tried to rape the nun...
- The convent bell tower.
- What does Alonso say?
That he pushed them to defend the nun.
That he didn't mean to kill them,
he did it just to get them off him.
They stumbled and fell.
- Then why does the coroner
say they died before they fell?
Evidently there is something wrong there.
- That's what we are talking about, Montero.
There's someone here not telling the truth.
- That's it, you're on the right track.
Keep it up.
I'll be back.
- I got what you asked for.
Fidel Miranda, born in Peru in 1942.
He himself was a child prodigy.
He studied physics and mathematics
at the University of Michigan for 30 years.
He lectured in Berlin,
Dubai, Toronto, Paris, Málaga.
In 1979 he developed an early childhood
education project for third world countries
and was successfully implemented
in India and South Africa.
- Bright Minds Program?
- Yes, it does exist.
It began in 1984.
Miranda himself is in charge
of selecting and detecting children
with special aptitudes in the area.
There are only three openings per year
for all of Latin America.
- Thank you.
- Hello.
- How are you doing?
Everything okay?
- Yes. Would you like a mate?
- And you, how did it go?
- It went well.
- Did you make progress with any cases?
- Yes, with several.
We made progress, yes.
- Which ones?
- Lorenzo, concentrate on your work, please.
You can't be at the mass
and the procession simultaneously.
- Do you need help with anything?
- No.
Anything, I'll let you know.
- Did you know that the Campus operates
in the same place where Rousseau
wrote The Social Contract?
- How wonderful!
Rousseau.
What's the use?
- Are you angry?
- No. I'm a little tired.
Why?
- I just thought.
- You thought wrong.
- You really don't want me to help you?
- I don't want you to help me
with anything, Lorenzo.
Let me make it clear.
You are for something else.
Take care of the luminous aspects
of the universe
while you get massages at the university spa.
I'll take care of the rest, the dark.
- Don't be like that.
- Lorenzo, seriously, I tell you from my heart.
Find what books are missing
in the library of Alexandria,
find if you can travel through time,
take pictures of the dinosaurs,
I'll take care of the society's worst.
And if I don't have the head
to solve all of this
I send everything to the fucking mother
who gave birth to it all
and that's it.
- It must be Professor Miranda.
- Professor Miranda
who came to help you with your homework?
- Hello.
- Fidel Miranda, Franco.
- Yes. Let's see. Come in.
- No. He got tickets at the Colón
and then invited me to lunch.
- You said yes?
- Yes.
- With whose permission?
- I thought you were
going to sleep at Marcela's.
- You thought wrong. Excuse me.
- Yes.
- Good night, Franco.
I brought you a small gift
to decorate your abode.
- Thank you.
Shall I open it?
- Of course.
It's the Inca goddess of fertility.
- Please.
- Hi. How's it going, Lorenzo?
I got here early because
I was afraid I'd get lost.
I don't do well in the suburbs.
- Thank you. It will have
a privileged place in my house,
but I regret to inform you that he
won't be able to go to the theater.
- How inconvenient! For what reason?
- He's in penance.
- Penance?
- He's right. I didn't ask permission
to go to the opera today.
- I'm sure we can work this out.
Because you won't allow Lorenzo
to be deprived of a staging
of The Marriage of Figaro.
- Yes, I will allow it, and no.
It can't be arranged, sir.
There are things that can't be arranged.
Did you make a gesture?
- What?
- Did you wink at him?
Because he laughed in my face.
- Franco, I swear I didn't do anything.
Please, calm down.
- You calm down, Lorenzo.
You're a bit nervous today.
- What do you think if you two
go to the opera together
and when you leave, the three of us
get together and have dinner?
- Professor, the only way I'm going to the opera
is if there's a tenor murdered.
So please respect my decision.
Surely there's someone
who can accompany you tonight.
- Excuse me, guys.
- Ostrich!
- Montero, I didn't forget.
Next week I'll pay you back
the two bottles of beer I owe you.
- You only asked for one, Ostrich.
- But I'll ask for another one.
How's it going? Ostrich Lopez.
- Fidel Miranda. How do you do?
- Pleased to meet you.
- Ostrich, do you like opera?
- I love it. My band has
a lot of opera influence.
Believe it or not.
- And you didn't let him go.
- No. I acted like an idiot.
I couldn't help it.
- I don't know if you acted like an idiot.
Clearly there's something bothering you.
- Waitress.
- I'll be right with you.
- Clearly there's something bothering you.
I cherish Lorenzo.
But it's also true that one day
he falls from the stratosphere,
he moves into your house, you take care of
him, he convinces you to accept a position,
and when you need him the most, he moves out.
- That's one way of looking at it, but this
is a really unmissable opportunity for him.
- That's fine. I'm not saying no,
but he might as well
consider it for the future, for next year.
- What Mansilla says is true.
You need him a lot right now.
You are also in a unique opportunity.
- But he's a child, Marcela.
- Genius, a child genius.
- Waitress!
- Can you stop, Slim?
- I can't stop, goose. Shut your mouth.
I've been calling her for half an hour.
- Please, Franco. He's right.
I'm working. I beg you.
Excuse me, sir.
- Stay calm. I'll take care of him.
- I have nothing to offer him.
That's just it.
I've got a one-room apartment,
I've got the annual police ball,
I have a week in Goicoechea's hotel,
from the union.
I have nothing to give him.
- That's the problem, Franco,
you have no idea what you're worth.
You're totally crazy.
What you gave him nobody else would.
How can't you see that?
I can see how you love him.
- Besides, we don't need him that much.
- Please, what are you saying?
Without him we don't know what to do.
With Serrano at least the cases
that were entrusted to us got solved,
but now not even that.
- Because we are disorganized.
But Lorenzo didn't solve the cases alone.
- Please, Mansilla! What are you saying?
- He did his part, but it was a team effort.
Who climbed on the roofs
to chase the fat man Tolosa?
Who went into the asylum to interrogate that
madman who thought he was King Kong?
Who captured Roque Peralta?
Who fought against the Russian acrobats?
Who was convinced that something strange
was going on around the Reyes heiress?
Who prevented Deputy Commissioner
Serrano from being killed?
Who saved Lorenzo from being buried alive?
Who worried when the kids
in the building bullied him?
Who risked his life to get Lorenzo
off the train tracks?
- Lorenzo is unique.
He has no replacement.
That doesn't mean you've stopped being useful.
You have to look for help from other people,
nothing else.
You know you can count on us.
- Envido. -Fault envido.
- I want. -30. -31.
- Guys, let's go to the conference room
and bring the progress
of your respective cases, please.
- What happened?
We're just warming up.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, guys.
Sit down, please.
- That's better.
- What happened to the suit, Montero?
You got fired?
- It's at the dry cleaners.
Fortunato, instead of playing cards so much
concentrate on the case I gave you,
it's been three days since I've heard any news.
- You're on edge!
Did you take a Viagra, Montero?
- Are you hungry?
- Actually, at this hour, yes.
- Good!
- Pumpkin, you've gone too far with all this!
- Samorini, don't get out of line.
- Guys, I gathered you to tell you
that from today on we'll meet every morning
for breakfast together at 8:00.
We'll divide tasks, then each one
concentrates on his own case,
before we leave we have another meeting,
and we collate the progress that
has been made. Is that clear?
- No, leave it. It's paid.
- You're humiliating me.
Commissioner salary.
- The crocodiles are in the boss's pocket.
He must have them at the dry cleaners
so they don't drown.
- We'll record every conversation we have
so we can record any ideas that may come up.
- Are you going to work for
SIDE (State Intelligence Agency) now?
- Do you have any other jokes to tell?
- We're done here.
- Okay, let's get to work.
Smith.
You're on the transvestite case.
- That's right.
- Tell me what progress has been made.
- Little or nothing. They lived together
in a boarding house in Balvanera.
The coroner confirmed
they were stabbed to death.
Not much more.
- We've had that information for a week.
- That's what I have, Montero.
There hasn't been much progress.
- You're not waiting for the killer to call you
and tell you how he killed him, are you?
- I've been a detective for five years
and you're not going to explain to me
how this works.
- I was a detective for three months and
I've already become a deputy commissioner.
And my team has been solving
one case after another,
so we can tell you a lot about how this works.
We're also considering
who'll stay and who won't.
- Are you planning to fire me?
- No, I don't want to fire you.
I know your wife is having health problems.
I won't like to fire you,
but you can't come here so relaxed
to tell me nothing about this case.
I gave it to you a week ago.
There are many questions: Who were
the clients of these transvestites?
Were there any powerful people related to them?
Why did someone want to kill them?
What did they see, what did they hear?
You can't come to the morning meeting
telling me that they live in Balvanera.
- I didn't know
about the meeting in the morning.
- Now you know about the morning meeting
and you know there's another one in the
afternoon so please have some progress.
- All right. Stay calm.
It won't happen again.
- Good.
Fortunato.
The vet's crime. Tell me how it's coming.
- Good. I have a lot of data.
But why don't you go on with the others,
I feel like going to the bathroom.
- Franco.
- What are you doing here, Lorenzo?
- I took the 88 to Miserere square
and from there the 132.
- What's up?
- Last night I stayed up late
studying to leave me the day off
and today I got up early and prepared a diagram
that explains the deductive method.
I made photocopies for everyone.
- Lorenzo, stop.
We are... My brother Lorenzo
is about to go to Europe.
He got a scholarship from the UN to one
of the most prestigious universities.
He was going to teach us a method he developed,
more intellectual, more original,
of police deduction.
- It's simple. I believe that
if we follow the steps of the scheme
we can find fundamental data
for the investigations.
- I don't think it will be necessary.
We are very well organized here, we have
our own method, so I thank you very much.
- Fine, but I think you'll be better off
if you follow the scheme...
- It's not fine by me.
I think it's wrong for you to come here
to my work as if it were a club
to tell me what I have to do
in front of my colleagues.
- But this can help.
- Lorenzo, take the 88 and go home now.
- Don't be mean. I want to share...
- I have nothing to share with you, damn it!
It's over!
There's no more room for you here!
Is that clear to you?!
Brothers and detectives
- Lorenzo, forgive me.
I didn't mean to say something so ugly.
Forgive me. You don't know
how grateful I am for all your help.
- I thought that if I studied during the night
and in the morning worked on the scheme
we could have more free time to solve a case.
- Don't cry anymore. Please.
You don't have to work on any case.
What you have to do now is
to study calmly, without guilt.
Prepare for the exam.
Seriously. This is very important.
I'll manage.
The police station will work much better
with me than with Serrano.
That will be a step forward. That's it.
Don't worry.
- I realized that you didn't like
Professor Miranda very much.
- It's not that I don't like him.
I got a little jealous.
Imagine, this guy comes one day and
tells you everything you want to hear.
He offers you a wonderful world.
I felt useless next to him.
I behaved like an idiot. That's true.
But I beg your pardon.
Since you arrived, you don't know
how my life has changed.
Put yourself in my place.
I had a gray, bitter life,
but it was mine, and it was predictable,
and it was quiet.
You arrived one day and
we started solving cases together.
I started to grow professionally.
I fell in love for the first time in my life.
Everything since you arrived.
Now this guy, Miranda, arrives,
and you want to go with him.
He offers you everything I can't give you.
I felt like an asshole, Lorenzo.
- Then I'm not leaving, and that's it.
I don't want to be without you either.
- That's what you have to do.
I've already investigated the guy.
This is a serious guy.
- You investigated him?
- I investigated him. What the fuck?
He's a serious guy.
The scholarship he's offering you
combined with your intelligence...
And you have no limit, Lorenzo.
You are going to grow a lot.
- I still have to pass the exam.
- You will pass it.
If you don't pass it,
we'll grab Miranda and beat him up.
Are we friends?
- Friends.
- Brothers?
- And detectives.
Can I explain the scheme to these people
and try to get one more case with you?
Please.
The first thing is
the classic field investigation,
which has to be detailed
and as objective as possible.
We collect information avoiding the biasing
of the researcher's preconceptions.
- Okay, Lorenzo, but that's what we always do.
- Exactly. What is new
is the second stage of three phases,
analogous to the scientific research method.
Here the first thing is
to correctly state the enigma.
That is, given a certain amount of certainty,
what's missing? What's the unknown?
- What happened.
- If we don't know what happened, yes.
But maybe we do know what happened.
Then our unknown would be
why what happened happened.
But maybe we know what happened and why
it happened, but something doesn't add up.
So our question would be what for
what happened happened. Right?
- Guys, I'm sorry, but got absolutely dull.
I can't think of anything else.
I need some air.
- It's logical, this room has no windows.
It's an ass hole.
- Lorenzo, the vocabulary, please.
This room was given to us by the State.
We didn't choose it. It's the way it is.
- But it's crazy, Franco.
You work with creativity,
which is what allows you to relate concepts
that seem disconnected
and find a new point of view on the same issue.
Creativity originates in the brain.
The brain needs good oxygenation to work well.
How big is this room?
- 7.50 long by 3.80 wide.
- And about 3 meters high.
- It's the genes, guys.
- 225 + 600.
Equals 85.5 cubic meters.
There's eight of us.
Which would give a total
of 1920 liters of oxygen per hour
and taking into account
that we expire carbon dioxide...
No, gentlemen,
there's not enough air here to think.
Keep it up, you will put any guy in jail.
- Which makes us suspect that there may be
another implicit relationship
beyond the one that in principle...
- I bought some biscuits.
- Well done, you took the challenge!
- Of course. Help yourselves.
- The first thing we looked at in the case
of Ariel Ramirez and Carlos Garcia
was the presumption of rape
and we followed all those leads,
but with what Lorenzo said we set about
trying to bridge the two worlds:
What could the convent have to do
with these two cabaret thugs?
- There's also the doberman's owner,
the sheepdog's owner,
and the dalmatian's owner.
- Girls, give me your phone number right
away because I'm doing a survey.
Give me the phone. Don't put that face.
- Samorini!
Come on, man. What are you doing?
- A mate, Lorenzo?
- That's why with Fortunato we tried to find
a connection between the dalmatian's owner
and the owner of the car repair shop.
We couldn't find that clue
until we discovered that the Fiat 600
belongs to the ex-wife of the dalmatian's owner.
- I got it, guys! It's the judge!
- He's right, it's the judge!
- He was the only one who had access
to the safe deposit box.
Who would stop him at the entrance?
Everybody knew him.
- Stay calm.
Lift your hands.
Take it easy.
- Come on, Kamijo.
Daniel Arrieta?
It's about the vet matter.
You'll have to come with us.
- Cuff him, boys.
- Case solved.
He's great, your brother.
- And you used to call him Calculín.
How incredible, this! You can't believe it.
The nun with the hunchback dealing cocaine.
Congratulations, Bianchini. You set an example.
All you needed was a little air in your head.
- Fuck you, Montero!
- Don't get mad!
- It's ready, Montero.
- Great. Thank you.
Bianchini!
Order two bottles of champagne
to celebrate with the guys.
Two bottles.
- Good day.
Can we talk to you?
- Of course. Come in, please.
- So a record number, huh?
- Well, we're very pleased.
All the cases that came
to us have evolved and
we've reached a
successful conclusion, so...
- Montero, I don't know
what the fuck you're up to,
but I warn you that all that shit
you do in the forest,
the breakfasts on the terrace,
I don't like any of that too much.
I don't know if you're trying to get
attention from the press, or what,
but I recommend you not to act cool.
- You know what's wrong, Montero?
So many cases solved in such a short time
speak very well of you but very badly
of the rest of the force.
To make a long story short, you are making
us all look like a bunch of fools.
That makes a lot of people nervous.
The suggestion, and I hope you will take it,
is that you ease up a little bit,
take your foot off the gas.
You are young and the career is very long.
We want things to change
but not so much.
I don't know if I make myself clear.
- What if I don't accept?
- Don't go too far, I'll make you shit fire
in five seconds.
- No one here wants to play too cool.
On the contrary.
Here we're people who work very seriously.
Do you know what happens?
When you do things well
a lot of enthusiasm is generated.
It's an energy that is contagious.
So, unless you want to start a shootout now
this recording is going to stay
in my possession.
If something bad happens to me
it will be ready to be delivered to all
the judges of the Capital and the Province.
Let me work in peace
and let me do things right.
Agreed?
Mansilla.
The gentlemen are leaving.
- Porrillo, will you accompany
the gentlemen downstairs?
- See you soon.
- See you soon.
- There's a lot of fun here.
This asshole doesn't know who he's messing with.
- We're on the right track.
The passport will be delivered tomorrow.
The study visa is issued
directly by the French embassy.
The only thing that's left
for Mr. Montero to sign
is the authorization for the minor
to leave the country.
- The only thing.
- The only thing.
- That child is brilliant.
Look how focused he is.
We can expect great things
from him in his future.
I can see it in every gesture.
- How did you do at the opera with the Ostrich?
- Splendid. A charming guy.
Unfortunately he couldn't stay until the end
because he had to go and play with his own band.
- He finished.
- Finished.
- I take a few minutes to put the answers
into my computer and I'll be right back.
Get your pen ready.
How was it? How did it go?
- It went very well.
- I'm glad to hear it.
Brothers and detectives
- I don't think it'll all fit.
- It's a carry-on bag.
You don't want to load it too much.
- Lorenzo, are you going to read
all this on the plane?
- No, I'm not going to read it on the plane.
As I have strabismus I get dizzy.
It's for reading in the boarding lounge.
- You'd better leave a lot of things behind
so you come visit us soon.
- Maybe it's better to take everything with you.
Maybe we won't see each other again.
You grow apart as time goes by.
- Don't be a son of a bitch.
- It's a joke.
I'm nervous too.
Here, captain. Here's your passport.
- I'm leaving the Corduroy pants
because they're too small.
- Lorenzo, I'll put here in the pocket
of this jacket the chewing gum
in case your ears get blocked during takeoff.
- Thank you, Marcela.
Can I tell you something?
I never had a mother and
I always dreamed of having one,
but I never thought it'd be as nice as you.
- My love!
- Lorenzo, let's try
to have a civilized farewell.
No low blows. Please.
- How I'm going to miss this house!
I've never been so happy in a place like here.
- Can you?
- Yes, get in.
- We won't get there in time this way.
- What time is it?
- 10 past o'clock.
- Let's relax, please.
- # I have so many brothers
# I can't count them.
# In the valley, the mountain #
- # When you were born I was only six years old.
# What a great joy,
# I would soon have a brother!
# And you arrived at 9:10...
# One morning at the end of May... #
- # Brother... #
- # Forgive me if I tell you, my brother,..,
# that I didn't feel like writing to you. #
- We can use the siren.
- # I don't know if it's the confinement,
# I don't know if it's the food,
# or the time I've already spent in this life.
# You're doing better, I hope,
# traveling around the world. #
- There's Professor Miranda.
- Professor!
- Lorenzo! I thought you'd be late.
- Did he miss the flight?
- Not yet, but we're on a tight schedule.
I was beginning to despair.
Please, the documents.
I'll do the paperwork myself, the check-in.
Please say goodbye quickly.
- Okay.
- What's the use?
Our friend is leaving us.
Don't get into trouble.
- Promise me you'll take
good care of my brother.
- I promise.
- Partner.
Come on, let's hug.
- Somebody do something!
- Montero.
It's time.
- Gate nine.
Goodbye, Franco.
I'll call as soon as we get to Paris.
Don't worry. He'll be fine.
- Take good care of him.
- Thank you.
- Have a good trip.
- Thanks for everything.
- Thanks to you.
- To you. I mean it.
- Help!
- What happened?
What happened, ma'am?
- My husband suddenly fainted.
- The husband is dead.
- Lorenzo, for God's sake!
- Gentlemen, please call an ambulance.
- An ambulance is urgently requested
in sector A, gate two.
Urgent, I repeat.
- And that glass?
- What are you doing here, Lorenzo?
- They gave it to him in the free shop.
There was a tasting.
We just came from London.
- Lorenzo! We're missing the plane!
- Who gave it to him, madam?
- Lorenzo, please go.
- A free shop employee gave it to him.
He was in a light blue shirt.
- He lost his pulse two minutes ago.
Lorenzo, you have to go.
In a light blue shirt, from the free shop.
A glass of wine.
Is the ambulance coming?
- It's leaving! Please!
I can't believe it.
- Please, we're doing our best.
- Franco, the free shop employees don't wear
light blue shirts, they wear red shirts.
- Lorenzo, please, go over there.
- We have to close the whole airport.
He could have been poisoned.
Did he have enemies, ma'am?
- Who is this boy?
- Come here.
- Please, I beg you, close the whole airport.
This man may have been poisoned.
Please.
Close all exits.
- Come on, Lorenzo. Come here.
Come on, you'll miss the plane. Please.
- Son, you'll give a heart stroke, too.
- There they are. I can't believe it.
Passengers Miranda and Montero.
Boarding passes and documentation, please.
- Remember to keep the glass as evidence.
- Lorenzo, go.
- Come in, please.
- Goodbye, Franco.
- Are you coming or staying?
Are you coming or staying?
- Although it could also have been the wife.
