Hermanos y detectives (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - El caso del asesino gordo - full transcript
BROTHERS AND DETECTIVES
Brothers be united.
Today we present
The Case of the Fat Killer
Let's see what we have today...
Behind the fence, please.
We'll answer everybody.
Please, let the officers through.
All questions will be answered.
- Why's that guy working so hard?
- When cameras come he goes crazy.
He did a casting to host "Cops in Action"
and they rejected him.
There's the night watchman,
one of the two witnesses.
He made his usual rounds
and saw how a very fat man
in a black overcoat rang the doorbell
at about 11 o'clock.
He exchanges a few words with the victim,
then the victim opens the door via the intercom,
and at about 11:45 the fat man left.
About 15 minutes later
the first patrol car arrived.
- Any peculiarities?
- He said the fat man was limping.
But since he saw him with a peaceful attitude
and the owner opened up via intercom,
he assumed they were friends.
- So why did he call the patrol car?
- The second witness, Emilio Soria, called.
- You're going to talk to him.
- I already did.
He's the maintenance man
at the building across the street.
He saw the crime right through the window.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- First floor.
- First floor?
He confirmed the killer's physical build:
130 to 140 kilos.
He also said they were in a hot argument,
that the owner tried to attack him
with a sharp object,
and the fat man dodged
and cracked his skull with an ashtray.
- He's a nimble fat man.
- I told you so.
Besides, Soria didn't talk about the limp.
It's likely that he didn't see it
because the room was in darkness
and he was in front of the window...
It is very difficult.
What he was very sure of
is that the murderer took the ashtray
with his right hand.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- That's good. He's right-handed, then.
- So it seems. -Perfect.
- Come here. -This way?
- This way.
- The victim, Sergio Ataleff.
- Let's see...
- TV producer, responsible for,
among other programs,
"Little monkey's kermesse",
"Make Juan Carlos laugh", and "Savants".
- Yeah, Lorenzo answers all the questions.
- Smith, bring me your namesake.
- A button?
- Very funny, Mansilla.
- We found it on the carpet.
We went through Atalef's entire closet.
It doesn't match any garment.
- We figure it belongs
to the killer's overcoat. -Okay.
- Lots of horses.
- Yeah, Atalef was a compulsive gambler.
Everyone knew about his constant gambling.
Horses, casino, betting games, you name it.
Anyway, his financial situation
was rather solid.
We found no evidence of gambling debts.
- Come and see this, you can't miss it.
- Was there any indication of robbery?
- In principle we ruled out that motive
because in a first inspection
there is no evidence
of the absence of valuables.
- Is it true that there is only one witness?
- For now it is a secret of summary.
- Could it be a mafia settling of scores?
- Miss, we are working on the case.
- He's improvising, he was sent
pretty much to cut off traffic!
What a nerve!
- The show business is still shocked by
the brutal murder of producer Sergio Atalef.
- Savants, one of his latest creations,
climbs day by day to the first positions
of the rating in our country.
- This is what Quique Pavón, host of
the program, said a few minutes ago.
- Quique, do you know anything? - Very little.
To tell you the truth, I'm shocked.
- Last week the whole team celebrated
the signing of the continuation of the contract
in his apartment because
the program is doing very well.
Popping champagne...
We did not imagine any of this.
- Did he leave any letter, any hint,
anything about what happened?
- I came to the studio and got the take-off.
- Any suspects, Quique?
- It was under the furniture.
- Can someone grab it? Thanks.
- What's this?
- Gambling debts.
- Bartolini 7,000 pesos, Anessi 30,000,
Castillo 15,000, Atalef 75,000.
This needs to be sent to the lab right away.
Fingerprints, analyze the handwriting,
the ink, the paper, everything.
We are looking for a middle-aged person
weighing between 120 and 140 kilos.
It is possible that he has a limp,
although his leg may have fallen asleep.
He is right-handed,
he belongs to the gambling world.
He knew the victim very well, and at the time
of his departure was wearing a black overcoat
which was missing this button.
Muñoz, Gen and Aveleira, I want you to call
the numbers in his address book one by one,
looking for people with these characteristics.
Ferreira and Malajovich,
search all the casinos in the city.
Bianchini and Ponce to the racetrack bar.
Samoríni and Fortunato, I want you to search
in all the underground gambling dens.
Gamblers, moneylenders, waiters,
all those who fit these characteristics,
I want them arrested for a lineup.
All right, let's get to work, please.
- Please, it's just 2000 pesos!
I'll give them back in two days,
first thing in the morning.
- I'll lend them to you just like that,
without guarantee,
but if you break your word I swear
I'll break every bone in your body.
- What's the matter?
- What's the matter?
- Stop snoring, I can't sleep.
- Susana, stop busting my balls,
I live in this house too.
- Well, here we are.
I'm going to ask you to take a good look,
to stay calm, because they won't be able
to see you from there.
- All right, sir.
- Send them in.
- Black bread is as fattening as white bread.
- Not if you toast it.
- This way, gentlemen. Come in, please.
- This is discrimination.
You arrest us just because we are fat.
- You spared it because they're not looking
for queers, else you'd be in the doghouse.
- This way, gentlemen.
- Left profile, please.
Right profile.
Front view, please.
So?
- It's number two.
- You're sure?
- Yes.
No, it's number five.
Number one catches my eye, too.
What do I do, let them go?
Yeah, we can't hold
these people for nothing.
If it were for the maintenance guy,
we should put Porcel in jail, too.
- Montero, then we can go to sleep, can't we?
- No, guys, excuse me, but we can't.
We have to follow up 24 hours a day.
We have to do a 24-hour follow-up,
one cop for each suspect.
- It's four in the morning!
- What's up, Montero?
I retrieved the messages
and my answering machine's on fire.
They practically dragged me out of bed.
This isn't New York. I just found out
that you ordered a mega operation
at two o'clock in the morning with 30 troops
to arrest a fat guy with no face.
I have a budget and I have to enforce it.
Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand.
With all due respect, it seems to me that
sometimes it is not used as it should be.
- Are you questioning me?
Are you controlling me?
As I appointed you, I can take you off
at any time, and tomorrow you'll be
cycling along Florida Street
giving information to tourists.
And I'll tell you something else:
I don't like what's going on here.
Do you understand?
You solved two intricate cases and now
I've got all the brigade chiefs
looking for the fifth leg of the cat
for some bullshit?
The other day there was a collision here
on the corner and there were
four woodchucks with magnifying glasses
looking for fingerprints.
Yes, Raquel, what is it?
I'm working, dear. Yes, it's work.
All right, sleep. I'm on my way.
From another bed, you pulled me out.
- Take it easy, deputy. Coffee?
- Montero, Correa wants
to see you in the lab
because something
showed up on the debt paper.
- Fine.
- Montero, one more thing.
This guy was famous, so you can imagine
we're gonna have all the press
busting our balls.
I don't want a lot of paperwork
or too much staff turnover. -Yes, sir.
- The few bells don't bother me,
but excessive noise does.
- The line shows straightening
of the letters axes,
inversion in the thick strokes,
in the termination of the letters,
and the Meyer sign appears.
- What does this mean?
- That whoever wrote it is left-handed.
In addition, the number seven lacks the dash.
He didn't write any accent,
he didn't draw the Ñ stick,
there are spelling mistakes,
grammatical licenses,...
Everything seems to indicate
that it was written in haste.
- In a hurry, the lefty.
- I analyzed the paper, too.
Cut, thickness, manufacturing brand,
cellulose components.
It is manufactured by the paper mill
Manzur Corporation.
It is big. It supplies thousands of companies.
I don't think we can use it.
This could have come from anywhere.
But the most interesting thing is this:
this sheet was torn from a pad,
and when subjected to spectroscopic examination.
you can clearly see
the grooves left by the pen
on the immediately preceding page.
- Block one: opening, choreography,
Pavón's entrance, participants' presentation...
- It seems to be the routine
of a television program.
- It's from Savants, from Savants.
That murderer works at the TV station.
After killing him he left that note
with the dates of payment
to divert the course of the investigation.
Everyone knows that Atalef is
a compulsive gambler. That's a red herring.
- Is he right-handed or left-handed?
Can you think of anything?
- Yes.
We need to call Lorenzo.
- The surveyor may be right
that the note was written in a hurry,
but that's not the only possible explanation.
There are other things too:
he could be a foreigner:
Arabic, Russian, I don't know... English.
In English you don't use the
stick on the seven either,
nor do you know the letter Ñ.
- Thank you, Marcela.
- We went to bed late last night, it seems.
- How out of place you are sometimes!
- Why out of place?
- She doesn't like that.
- She didn't like it?
- A lot of people don't like you.
You can see that.
The deputy commissioner, Marcela,...
- I like you, Mansilla.
- You, because you're from the province.
In the capital they don't like me.
- How do we explain the fact that the guy
wrote the note with his left hand...
and threw the ashtray with his right?
- He can be ambidextrous, too.
I also write with both hands. Check it out.
- Unbelievable! -There was a material and
an intellectual author of the crime.
The material author was a fat 130 kilos
right-handed man, who sometimes limped,...
- And the one who commissioned the job
and prepared the story is a foreign lefty.
- Then I'll try to talk to
the highest authorities of the TV station
and tell them that we are going
to make a general inspection.
- I don't think this is the right time.
Anyone could have been involved,
from the last operator
to the programming manager.
No, no. We have to do some field work.
We have to go undercover in the station
and find out what we can ourselves, I think.
- How do we get in without an inside ally?
The station is crawling
with security guards everywhere,
they're used to chasing curious onlookers...
- This afternoon,
at the end of Blue Hope, Savants.
And today Savants, what is it?
The brightest children in the country
will compete for the win.
- Esther, can you raise the volume?
- Yes.
- For Lolo.
- The Merchant of Venice.
- You're going to be there
when Quique Pavón says:
- He knows!
- Let's see, guys, everyone with the number
assigned to you in your hand.
- Those who don't have a number can't enter.
- What is the currency of England?
- How many countries today make up
the American continent?
- Dad, I want to go to the bathroom!
- Twenty-one, please.
Go ahead, ma'am. That way.
One companion per contestant.
Twenty-three, please.
Come in, please.
24.
- These parents are terrible, aren't they?
They exhibit their children
as if they were little animals.
It's torture.
Imagine the pressure they must feel
having to answer all those questions
in front of millions of spectators.
They can't live up to their expectations
out of fear. Terrific!
I think the host of the program is nice.
- Quique Pavón? It's his job to be nice.
What the guy really wants is to profit
from this whole situation, I think.
- His attitude is total bullshit.
- A total dance?
- To the forum. Quickly.
- Quickly, bring me the four that qualified
and send the rest to the stands.
Come this way, please.
This stand is a mess.
Let's see if you can arrange them.
- I need it to last
as long as possible, Lorenzo.
It's the time we're going to use for research.
Is that clear?
- Get the acrobats ready, they'll perform
as soon as the opening starts.
Girls, two go on one side, two go on the other,
and you'll go in the middle.
Is everybody here?
Send me someone from makeup
to touch up the contestants.
- How did Mansilla get in?
- I don't know. He was at it.
He seemed to have a plan.
- The laughters. The laughters, please!
We're about to start and there's nobody here.
- Settle in there.
Laugh at even the dumbest joke.
Is there anyone missing?
- Quickly, please, the kids get to the lecterns.
- Come on, get into the suite.
You on that rostrum.
Quiet, please!
We'll go on the air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,...
- Good afternoon, dear friends.
As you know, all of us who
make this program are tremendously touched
by the passing of our beloved general producer
Sergio Atalef.
We hesitated a lot whether or not
to go on the air with the program,
but we finally decided that he would have
wanted to say goodbye in a big way,
without solemnities, with a big party.
And for that reason,
and because the show must continue
is that once again we tell you that this is...
Savants.
- Bravo!
- Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Good evening, thank you so much
for being with us on Savants.
Did you see our Russian acrobats?
How wonderful these kids are!
It's really cold in Vladivostok.
They jump and bounce like crazy.
If I get to do one of those pirouettes,
Gambini would think I'm a cowboy.
- Entering seems simple.
Upstairs are the management offices,
on this level are the studios and the controls.
I'm going to go to the upper area.
You have to go to the technical area.
Did you see a fat man?
No, but remember that
there are two of them.
The mastermind can be anyone.
There are monitors everywhere. I'll wait
for you here after the commercial break.
- And remember: 0600 333 money.
If you call and win, you travel.
Show me the faces of
today's savant kids, please.
Welcome Ludmila. How nice Ludmila!
And Matías, how are you, Matías?
Hernán, that hairdo...
Lorenzo! I think the eyeglasses kid is
a real eye-catcher. Take a good look at him.
These are the savant kids.
ON THE AIR
NO SMOKING.
Authorized personnel only.
- The host wants you to come every day.
I'll leave the coffee over here.
Have the catering guys pick it up.
How come the truck hasn't come?
Half an hour late.
- Yes, okay, but there are things
I can't decide because I have superiors.
Besides, what do the Turks want,
the can or the format?
That's fine.
Give me some amount so that I can fix it,
because otherwise we'll all go to jail.
- You'll have to use the studio in the back.
It's the only one left.
"See you on TV" takes up everything.
- Brother, tell him to make do
with the two cameras.
He'll get that into his head and move on.
- Geography, Matías. At what altitude
above sea level is Cafayate
in the province of Salta?
- 1660 meters.
- He knows it! -He knows!
- Hernán, how many inhabitants live
in the Federal District of Mexico?
- About 20 million.
- He knows! -He knows!
- Let's see, Ludmila, in which city
is the Hobson Spitalfields area?
- In London?
- She knows! -She knows!
- Lorenzo, how many steps
has the staircase from Costa Blanca to
the summit of the island of Tequile in Peru?
- 567.
- He knows! -He knows!
- A coffee?
- Talk to someone from Savants control
and ask them to make the blond win.
The girl and the one with the curly hair
aren't funny, and the one with the glasses
is too nerdy for me. -Well.
- Lorenzo, how much is
1 light year in kilometers?
- 9 and a half million.
- He knows!
- Matías, how are the 3 famous equidistant
stars with a woman's name known?
- The three Marias.
- He knows! -He knows!
- Hernán, how long is
the great red spot of Jupiter?
What happened, my love?
What happened, God's little angel?
You knew it, for sure: 40,000 km, the answer.
Hernán... Well, with a big round of applause
we bid farewell to Hernán,
a friend who was with us in Savants.
Thank you for coming.
Hernán, a little question.
Is what you have on your head a hairstyle
or did you stick your fingers in the socket?
- Louder, louder!
- What happened, buddy?
- I went to the bathroom.
- In the block you go to the bathroom?
You don't get paid to go to the bathroom.
You get paid to laugh.
"I went to the bathroom."
What do you think this is?
- So far there are three savants:
Matías, Lorenzo, Ludmila.
After the break they will compete for the
accumulated prize pool of 83,000 pesos.
So don't go away, we'll be right back.
- We are in the break.
We'll be back in four minutes.
- What happened? -Little to nothing.
I saw some lefties, but nothing else.
- You? -This is a mess.
It's a mess, this TV station!
- Don't go far, Anteojito, we'll be on air soon.
- I'll be with my brother.
- So, guys? -Well, well.
- Lorenzo made it to the final. Did you see?
- Don't get your hopes up because
you won't win. It's all fixed.
This is bullshit, it's a scam.
- Fill all the coupon boxes.
- And people are quite stupid to call.
Don't they realize that they will never win?
It's a million dollars a roll.
- Security!
- It's the wardrobe lady.
- I found the button here.
- Ludmila, what name is the oldest
standing army in the world known as?
- Oh, oh, Ludmila! What happened?
- I'm sorry.
- The Helvetic Cohort.
It was founded in 1506 and charged with
guarding the Pope, no less, in the Vatican.
Gentlemen, we send Ludmila off
with a round of applause.
I don't know about at home,
but here the studio is on fire.
I don't know what hard battle
awaits our little gladiators.
It's a final not for the faint-hearted.
Matías, have you studied a lot?
- Yes, I've been studying for six months now.
I couldn't take it anymore.
- And you, Lorenzo,
how long have you been studying?
- No... They told me this morning.
- Where is this jerk now?
- Do you copy me in the van?
- Yes, I copy you, Montero.
- We have a suspect, gentlemen.
Even the button of the overcoat is missing.
The mastermind still hasn't come forward.
But I want you to talk to the judge, to tap
the phones of all the directors of the station.
That is to say, the details of the calls
of the last 72 hours.
Background checks,
bank transactions, everything.
Mansilla is going to tail the suspect.
We will arrest him only
when we have the confirmation, not before.
I repeat: we do not arrest him before.
One false step in the TV station
and I'll never get rid
of the deputy commissioner again.
- He knows! Natural sciences, Lorenzo.
What is the scientific name of the feathered
bird commonly known as the cattle egret?
- Bubulcus ibis.
- He knows it!
Matías, what's the name of the wind
coming from the southeast?
- Sudestada.
- He knows it!
- Lorenzo, who is the proclaimed
Statúder of Holland in 1947?
- William IV of Orange.
- He knows!
- Which liberator crossed the Andes,
Matías, on horseback?
- San Martin.
- He knows!
- Franco, do you copy?
- Loud and clear. Tell me.
- The fat man has a gun.
- That's not unusual. He's a security guard.
I need confirmation on the button, please.
- He went into the bathroom.
Should I follow him?
- Tell me your position. We're all set.
- Entering the hallway of studio seven,
first fork to the right,
there are two doors. Those are the bathrooms.
- Copy that, Mansilla. Bianchini here.
Stay calm. I know the station.
Last year I brought my son to Marley's.
- Bianchini, who called you?
- I heard about it. I came to lend a hand.
Be ready. We're about to enter.
- Here I am, Mansilla, on the other side
of the corridor. Can you see me?
From now on, turn down the volume
on the handy. I'll take care of it.
Okay, gentlemen, Mansilla is coming in.
Stay tuned.
- It's not coming out?
- It doesn't look like it.
- Anything wrong?
- No, nothing's wrong.
- You're sure?
- Please, sure!
- What's the matter, Slim?
What's wrong with you?
- Nothing, just...
- Nothing, my balls. You're staring at me.
- Calm down, I swear...
- I swear what? Speak.
- He has the same button.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing, nothing.
- What's the matter?
- Talk to me on the handy. I don't copy.
- He has the button.
- He has the button!
- Stop. Police.
- Police operation. Agent Bianchini.
Put your hands against the wall.
- You're under arrest
for the murder of Sergio Atalef.
Anything you say
can and will be used against you.
If you don't have a lawyer,
one will be provided for you.
- It's plastic.
- Of course it's plastic, sir.
- And the button?
- What button?
- How do you justify that the button missing
from your coat was in Atalef's house?
- How should I know? These clothes
were given to me in the dresser room.
I'm an extra. I'm here to do a gig
on the afternoon soap opera.
I'm a bodyguard.
- Cut, buddy. Cut for a moment.
- What are those cameras, Bianchini?
Find out this guy's background, please.
- I'll tell you, sir. I worked on the short film
"The Adventure" and "Chiquititas".
- Split, split, split!
- Well, let's see what the production says.
Manu, split?
No. Pablo? Yes. Let's see, do they
break the tie now, yes or no?
No, no.
There is a producer, gentlemen.
He says no split.
We'd better come back tomorrow
and listen to these boys
who are going to dispute,
Lorenzo and Matías, Matías and Lorenzo,
the accumulated jackpot that reached
record figures: 83,900 pesos.
Tomorrow we'll meet on this
same channel at the same time.
Quique Pavón, who isn't
a turkey at all, greets you.
Why? Because he knows everything! Bye.
- They are good, the Russians.
Look how they are in the stands: fascinated.
- Why do you say it to me?
I love them. The one who wanted
to fire them was Atalef, not me.
Brothers and detectives.
- I'm doing my job.
- This is a TV station. How dare you
set up such an operation in here?
- I come out of the bathroom and outside
there's a bunch of cops pointing at me.
I'm walking down the hallways
and I feel like someone's chasing me.
- Call off all the police
or we'll fuck everything up.
- Franco. Franco.
- Lorenzo, wait a little while, I've got a mess
I can't even tell you about.
- I have something important to tell you.
- I also have something important to tell you.
You have a brother who's a moron.
An asshole who at any moment
will be out of a job.
- But I know what happened. I'm sure about it.
- Excuse me. Good evening.
I'm Detective Montero. Homicide division.
I'm investigating a murder.
- My brother doesn't speak Spanish and
he just wanted to know who you are.
- Your names are?
- I'm Mirco and he's Jarco.
- Last names?
- Did you know Sergio Atalef,
producer of this program?
- Yes.
- Did you know the apartment where he lived?
- No.
- No?
That's funny, because I understood
that they had a party to celebrate...
- I'm sorry, what's going on?
- No, no, the party, yes, it's true.
- I forgot about the party.
- Then you know where he lived.
What did you guys do last night?
- We were at the movies.
- What movie did you see?
- It was an action movie.
- Who was the actor in the movie, guys?
- It was an actor with his hand...
- Easy, easy, easy.
- Stop, police!
- Film this.
- Agent Bianchini gives the order to keep still!
- Mirco, Jarco, what's going on? Come here.
- I want agents at all canal gates.
They're Atalef's killers.
Mansilla, come with me.
You stay here. Samorini and Smith.
- Send reinforcements. Mansilla is in danger.
- Danger? Fifth dan in Kung Fu.
- Mansilla does Kung Fu?
- Stop.
- I think this is him.
- Are you okay, Mansilla?
- Do you know how long it's been
since I've fought?
- Imagine two illegal immigrants.
They barely speak Spanish,
they barely have enough to eat.
One day a manager of the TV station
passes by in his car
and discovers two jugglers at a traffic light.
The guy gives them a card.
Overnight they are working in television.
They earn their own money,
they start to get people's affection.
They feel important
for the first time in their lives.
Everything is fabulous for a couple of months
until tragedy strikes.
- Do we leave things as they are?
Do we change anything, or what?
- No, renew everyone's contract.
The team is working great!
I'd get rid of the Russians. Fire them.
Do you know why?
They make me sad, they bring me down.
Besides, they sweat like beasts. They have
a zoo smell that turns you upside down!
- They can't go back to being nobodies
after having known glory.
They know that Atalef is gambling everything
on whatever comes. They begin to think.
- There he is, the girl voyeur.
He's always there.
Come on, shake him up a little bit.
- They study the movements of the building.
They see there's a witness.
The plan is set in motion.
There are two of them,
but their athletic ability can make them one.
The watchman sees but does not hear.
He sees a man limping but does not imagine
that it is the awkward movement
of Jarco's effort to carry Mirco.
- What do these two want now?
- They don't waste time.
They take no chances.
Their first objective
was to eliminate the enemy.
The second, to divert our investigation.
They got ready, waited for the witness
to show up, and the show began.
Not having Mirco's weight on him,
Jarco no longer limps.
For his part, Mirco, who is left-handed,
makes blunders in punctuation that make it
obvious that he is a foreigner.
The rest is known history.
- In an unprecedented operation last night,
the police arrested
Mirco and Jarco Stopar,
suspected of the murder
of producer Sergio Atalef.
- The Stopar brothers, originally
from the Russian city of Vladivostok,
worked as acrobats in the program Savants
produced by Atalef.
The motive for the horrendous crime
is said to be related
only the prevention of a possible dismissal.
- As if this were not enough, it is our duty
to inform you that the police investigation
also yielded unsuspected results
that ended with the arrest
of 14 managers of that station
and 22 lower-ranking employees.
- Among other charges,
they are accused of bidding irregularities,
over-billing, tax evasion, and the list goes on:
industrial espionage,
money laundering, drug smuggling,
and even the unusual case
of Mr. Gabriel Krivitsky,
producer of the afternoon soap opera
who dedicated himself during the night
to the production of pornographic films
with animals in empty studios.
- Freeze!
- Yes, laugh, fools,
but I was on television, at least.
- But as Quique Pavón rightly said yesterday
"The show must go on",
so after the images we leave you with the end
of the children's section of Savants,
a program created by Atalef.
Have a very good afternoon, country.
- Turn up the volume.
- Architecture: Which famous architect
built the Willits house in Illinois?
- Frank Lloyd Wright.
- He knows! -He knows!
- Matías, what is the emblematic
pointy monument of Buenos Aires?
- The obelisk.
- He knows!
- Music. Who composed
the Hungarian national anthem?
- Volchef Matrazur.
- He knows it!
- Do, re, mi, fa... -Sol.
- He knows it!
- Painting: what painting by Claude Lorrain
is currently on the second floor
of the National Gallery of London?
- Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba?
- He knows!
- Who was the Spanish painter who drew
the famous "dove of peace"? Pablo Pi...
-...cachú.
- What's wrong?
- I got confused.
- Unfortunately I have to say,
ladies and gentlemen, that he doesn't know!
Pablo Picasso was it, Matías, Pablo Picasso.
Well, we have a new winner.
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of
the 102,000 pesos jackpot is Lorenzo!
- Wise guy, wise guy, wise guy!
- Well done, Lorenzo, well done.
Congratulations, Lorenzo.
- Well, tell us, little genius,
what are you going to do with the 102,000
pesos you just won from the jackpot.
- In honor of my brother Franco Montero
I am not going to accept it.
So I am going to donate it to the municipality
to fill the squares
of the poorest neighborhoods with games.
He made me see how bad it is that
both parents and producers
of these programs profit
from the exposure of their children.
The message is success-oriented,
competitive,
and on top of that, they treat them
like little animals.
- What a surprise for everyone!
This child taught adults a lesson.
I congratulate you, Lorenzo.
Your generosity moves me.
- And to me your attitude
seems to me total bullshit.
- Is something wrong with you?
- No.
- I was wrong to donate, wasn't I?
- No, you weren't.
- Maybe you wanted the money.
- Me? What for?
I think it's better for the kids
to play in the squares, Lorenzo.
- Bianchini, Montero.
Very good about your little brother.
Let me know when the games are ready
so we can go together to the seesaw.
- Suck my balls, Bianchini.
- Here Aveleira, Montero. Do you copy?
- Yes, Aveleira, come on, tease me too.
- No, why tease?
I need a relief, tomorrow morning
I have my daughter's communion.
- A relief? What do you need a relief for?
- What for? I'm tailing the fat guy
from the joint in Boedo.
- No, no, Avaleira, the case has been solved.
- Fortunato here. What do you mean,
the case is solved? You're teasing me?
I've been hanging here
for two hours hanging from a pole
watching how the fat guy
from the floating casino
takes his body language class.
Why don't you all go
to the motherfuckin' hell?
Brothers be united.
Today we present
The Case of the Fat Killer
Let's see what we have today...
Behind the fence, please.
We'll answer everybody.
Please, let the officers through.
All questions will be answered.
- Why's that guy working so hard?
- When cameras come he goes crazy.
He did a casting to host "Cops in Action"
and they rejected him.
There's the night watchman,
one of the two witnesses.
He made his usual rounds
and saw how a very fat man
in a black overcoat rang the doorbell
at about 11 o'clock.
He exchanges a few words with the victim,
then the victim opens the door via the intercom,
and at about 11:45 the fat man left.
About 15 minutes later
the first patrol car arrived.
- Any peculiarities?
- He said the fat man was limping.
But since he saw him with a peaceful attitude
and the owner opened up via intercom,
he assumed they were friends.
- So why did he call the patrol car?
- The second witness, Emilio Soria, called.
- You're going to talk to him.
- I already did.
He's the maintenance man
at the building across the street.
He saw the crime right through the window.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- First floor.
- First floor?
He confirmed the killer's physical build:
130 to 140 kilos.
He also said they were in a hot argument,
that the owner tried to attack him
with a sharp object,
and the fat man dodged
and cracked his skull with an ashtray.
- He's a nimble fat man.
- I told you so.
Besides, Soria didn't talk about the limp.
It's likely that he didn't see it
because the room was in darkness
and he was in front of the window...
It is very difficult.
What he was very sure of
is that the murderer took the ashtray
with his right hand.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- That's good. He's right-handed, then.
- So it seems. -Perfect.
- Come here. -This way?
- This way.
- The victim, Sergio Ataleff.
- Let's see...
- TV producer, responsible for,
among other programs,
"Little monkey's kermesse",
"Make Juan Carlos laugh", and "Savants".
- Yeah, Lorenzo answers all the questions.
- Smith, bring me your namesake.
- A button?
- Very funny, Mansilla.
- We found it on the carpet.
We went through Atalef's entire closet.
It doesn't match any garment.
- We figure it belongs
to the killer's overcoat. -Okay.
- Lots of horses.
- Yeah, Atalef was a compulsive gambler.
Everyone knew about his constant gambling.
Horses, casino, betting games, you name it.
Anyway, his financial situation
was rather solid.
We found no evidence of gambling debts.
- Come and see this, you can't miss it.
- Was there any indication of robbery?
- In principle we ruled out that motive
because in a first inspection
there is no evidence
of the absence of valuables.
- Is it true that there is only one witness?
- For now it is a secret of summary.
- Could it be a mafia settling of scores?
- Miss, we are working on the case.
- He's improvising, he was sent
pretty much to cut off traffic!
What a nerve!
- The show business is still shocked by
the brutal murder of producer Sergio Atalef.
- Savants, one of his latest creations,
climbs day by day to the first positions
of the rating in our country.
- This is what Quique Pavón, host of
the program, said a few minutes ago.
- Quique, do you know anything? - Very little.
To tell you the truth, I'm shocked.
- Last week the whole team celebrated
the signing of the continuation of the contract
in his apartment because
the program is doing very well.
Popping champagne...
We did not imagine any of this.
- Did he leave any letter, any hint,
anything about what happened?
- I came to the studio and got the take-off.
- Any suspects, Quique?
- It was under the furniture.
- Can someone grab it? Thanks.
- What's this?
- Gambling debts.
- Bartolini 7,000 pesos, Anessi 30,000,
Castillo 15,000, Atalef 75,000.
This needs to be sent to the lab right away.
Fingerprints, analyze the handwriting,
the ink, the paper, everything.
We are looking for a middle-aged person
weighing between 120 and 140 kilos.
It is possible that he has a limp,
although his leg may have fallen asleep.
He is right-handed,
he belongs to the gambling world.
He knew the victim very well, and at the time
of his departure was wearing a black overcoat
which was missing this button.
Muñoz, Gen and Aveleira, I want you to call
the numbers in his address book one by one,
looking for people with these characteristics.
Ferreira and Malajovich,
search all the casinos in the city.
Bianchini and Ponce to the racetrack bar.
Samoríni and Fortunato, I want you to search
in all the underground gambling dens.
Gamblers, moneylenders, waiters,
all those who fit these characteristics,
I want them arrested for a lineup.
All right, let's get to work, please.
- Please, it's just 2000 pesos!
I'll give them back in two days,
first thing in the morning.
- I'll lend them to you just like that,
without guarantee,
but if you break your word I swear
I'll break every bone in your body.
- What's the matter?
- What's the matter?
- Stop snoring, I can't sleep.
- Susana, stop busting my balls,
I live in this house too.
- Well, here we are.
I'm going to ask you to take a good look,
to stay calm, because they won't be able
to see you from there.
- All right, sir.
- Send them in.
- Black bread is as fattening as white bread.
- Not if you toast it.
- This way, gentlemen. Come in, please.
- This is discrimination.
You arrest us just because we are fat.
- You spared it because they're not looking
for queers, else you'd be in the doghouse.
- This way, gentlemen.
- Left profile, please.
Right profile.
Front view, please.
So?
- It's number two.
- You're sure?
- Yes.
No, it's number five.
Number one catches my eye, too.
What do I do, let them go?
Yeah, we can't hold
these people for nothing.
If it were for the maintenance guy,
we should put Porcel in jail, too.
- Montero, then we can go to sleep, can't we?
- No, guys, excuse me, but we can't.
We have to follow up 24 hours a day.
We have to do a 24-hour follow-up,
one cop for each suspect.
- It's four in the morning!
- What's up, Montero?
I retrieved the messages
and my answering machine's on fire.
They practically dragged me out of bed.
This isn't New York. I just found out
that you ordered a mega operation
at two o'clock in the morning with 30 troops
to arrest a fat guy with no face.
I have a budget and I have to enforce it.
Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand.
With all due respect, it seems to me that
sometimes it is not used as it should be.
- Are you questioning me?
Are you controlling me?
As I appointed you, I can take you off
at any time, and tomorrow you'll be
cycling along Florida Street
giving information to tourists.
And I'll tell you something else:
I don't like what's going on here.
Do you understand?
You solved two intricate cases and now
I've got all the brigade chiefs
looking for the fifth leg of the cat
for some bullshit?
The other day there was a collision here
on the corner and there were
four woodchucks with magnifying glasses
looking for fingerprints.
Yes, Raquel, what is it?
I'm working, dear. Yes, it's work.
All right, sleep. I'm on my way.
From another bed, you pulled me out.
- Take it easy, deputy. Coffee?
- Montero, Correa wants
to see you in the lab
because something
showed up on the debt paper.
- Fine.
- Montero, one more thing.
This guy was famous, so you can imagine
we're gonna have all the press
busting our balls.
I don't want a lot of paperwork
or too much staff turnover. -Yes, sir.
- The few bells don't bother me,
but excessive noise does.
- The line shows straightening
of the letters axes,
inversion in the thick strokes,
in the termination of the letters,
and the Meyer sign appears.
- What does this mean?
- That whoever wrote it is left-handed.
In addition, the number seven lacks the dash.
He didn't write any accent,
he didn't draw the Ñ stick,
there are spelling mistakes,
grammatical licenses,...
Everything seems to indicate
that it was written in haste.
- In a hurry, the lefty.
- I analyzed the paper, too.
Cut, thickness, manufacturing brand,
cellulose components.
It is manufactured by the paper mill
Manzur Corporation.
It is big. It supplies thousands of companies.
I don't think we can use it.
This could have come from anywhere.
But the most interesting thing is this:
this sheet was torn from a pad,
and when subjected to spectroscopic examination.
you can clearly see
the grooves left by the pen
on the immediately preceding page.
- Block one: opening, choreography,
Pavón's entrance, participants' presentation...
- It seems to be the routine
of a television program.
- It's from Savants, from Savants.
That murderer works at the TV station.
After killing him he left that note
with the dates of payment
to divert the course of the investigation.
Everyone knows that Atalef is
a compulsive gambler. That's a red herring.
- Is he right-handed or left-handed?
Can you think of anything?
- Yes.
We need to call Lorenzo.
- The surveyor may be right
that the note was written in a hurry,
but that's not the only possible explanation.
There are other things too:
he could be a foreigner:
Arabic, Russian, I don't know... English.
In English you don't use the
stick on the seven either,
nor do you know the letter Ñ.
- Thank you, Marcela.
- We went to bed late last night, it seems.
- How out of place you are sometimes!
- Why out of place?
- She doesn't like that.
- She didn't like it?
- A lot of people don't like you.
You can see that.
The deputy commissioner, Marcela,...
- I like you, Mansilla.
- You, because you're from the province.
In the capital they don't like me.
- How do we explain the fact that the guy
wrote the note with his left hand...
and threw the ashtray with his right?
- He can be ambidextrous, too.
I also write with both hands. Check it out.
- Unbelievable! -There was a material and
an intellectual author of the crime.
The material author was a fat 130 kilos
right-handed man, who sometimes limped,...
- And the one who commissioned the job
and prepared the story is a foreign lefty.
- Then I'll try to talk to
the highest authorities of the TV station
and tell them that we are going
to make a general inspection.
- I don't think this is the right time.
Anyone could have been involved,
from the last operator
to the programming manager.
No, no. We have to do some field work.
We have to go undercover in the station
and find out what we can ourselves, I think.
- How do we get in without an inside ally?
The station is crawling
with security guards everywhere,
they're used to chasing curious onlookers...
- This afternoon,
at the end of Blue Hope, Savants.
And today Savants, what is it?
The brightest children in the country
will compete for the win.
- Esther, can you raise the volume?
- Yes.
- For Lolo.
- The Merchant of Venice.
- You're going to be there
when Quique Pavón says:
- He knows!
- Let's see, guys, everyone with the number
assigned to you in your hand.
- Those who don't have a number can't enter.
- What is the currency of England?
- How many countries today make up
the American continent?
- Dad, I want to go to the bathroom!
- Twenty-one, please.
Go ahead, ma'am. That way.
One companion per contestant.
Twenty-three, please.
Come in, please.
24.
- These parents are terrible, aren't they?
They exhibit their children
as if they were little animals.
It's torture.
Imagine the pressure they must feel
having to answer all those questions
in front of millions of spectators.
They can't live up to their expectations
out of fear. Terrific!
I think the host of the program is nice.
- Quique Pavón? It's his job to be nice.
What the guy really wants is to profit
from this whole situation, I think.
- His attitude is total bullshit.
- A total dance?
- To the forum. Quickly.
- Quickly, bring me the four that qualified
and send the rest to the stands.
Come this way, please.
This stand is a mess.
Let's see if you can arrange them.
- I need it to last
as long as possible, Lorenzo.
It's the time we're going to use for research.
Is that clear?
- Get the acrobats ready, they'll perform
as soon as the opening starts.
Girls, two go on one side, two go on the other,
and you'll go in the middle.
Is everybody here?
Send me someone from makeup
to touch up the contestants.
- How did Mansilla get in?
- I don't know. He was at it.
He seemed to have a plan.
- The laughters. The laughters, please!
We're about to start and there's nobody here.
- Settle in there.
Laugh at even the dumbest joke.
Is there anyone missing?
- Quickly, please, the kids get to the lecterns.
- Come on, get into the suite.
You on that rostrum.
Quiet, please!
We'll go on the air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,...
- Good afternoon, dear friends.
As you know, all of us who
make this program are tremendously touched
by the passing of our beloved general producer
Sergio Atalef.
We hesitated a lot whether or not
to go on the air with the program,
but we finally decided that he would have
wanted to say goodbye in a big way,
without solemnities, with a big party.
And for that reason,
and because the show must continue
is that once again we tell you that this is...
Savants.
- Bravo!
- Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Good evening, thank you so much
for being with us on Savants.
Did you see our Russian acrobats?
How wonderful these kids are!
It's really cold in Vladivostok.
They jump and bounce like crazy.
If I get to do one of those pirouettes,
Gambini would think I'm a cowboy.
- Entering seems simple.
Upstairs are the management offices,
on this level are the studios and the controls.
I'm going to go to the upper area.
You have to go to the technical area.
Did you see a fat man?
No, but remember that
there are two of them.
The mastermind can be anyone.
There are monitors everywhere. I'll wait
for you here after the commercial break.
- And remember: 0600 333 money.
If you call and win, you travel.
Show me the faces of
today's savant kids, please.
Welcome Ludmila. How nice Ludmila!
And Matías, how are you, Matías?
Hernán, that hairdo...
Lorenzo! I think the eyeglasses kid is
a real eye-catcher. Take a good look at him.
These are the savant kids.
ON THE AIR
NO SMOKING.
Authorized personnel only.
- The host wants you to come every day.
I'll leave the coffee over here.
Have the catering guys pick it up.
How come the truck hasn't come?
Half an hour late.
- Yes, okay, but there are things
I can't decide because I have superiors.
Besides, what do the Turks want,
the can or the format?
That's fine.
Give me some amount so that I can fix it,
because otherwise we'll all go to jail.
- You'll have to use the studio in the back.
It's the only one left.
"See you on TV" takes up everything.
- Brother, tell him to make do
with the two cameras.
He'll get that into his head and move on.
- Geography, Matías. At what altitude
above sea level is Cafayate
in the province of Salta?
- 1660 meters.
- He knows it! -He knows!
- Hernán, how many inhabitants live
in the Federal District of Mexico?
- About 20 million.
- He knows! -He knows!
- Let's see, Ludmila, in which city
is the Hobson Spitalfields area?
- In London?
- She knows! -She knows!
- Lorenzo, how many steps
has the staircase from Costa Blanca to
the summit of the island of Tequile in Peru?
- 567.
- He knows! -He knows!
- A coffee?
- Talk to someone from Savants control
and ask them to make the blond win.
The girl and the one with the curly hair
aren't funny, and the one with the glasses
is too nerdy for me. -Well.
- Lorenzo, how much is
1 light year in kilometers?
- 9 and a half million.
- He knows!
- Matías, how are the 3 famous equidistant
stars with a woman's name known?
- The three Marias.
- He knows! -He knows!
- Hernán, how long is
the great red spot of Jupiter?
What happened, my love?
What happened, God's little angel?
You knew it, for sure: 40,000 km, the answer.
Hernán... Well, with a big round of applause
we bid farewell to Hernán,
a friend who was with us in Savants.
Thank you for coming.
Hernán, a little question.
Is what you have on your head a hairstyle
or did you stick your fingers in the socket?
- Louder, louder!
- What happened, buddy?
- I went to the bathroom.
- In the block you go to the bathroom?
You don't get paid to go to the bathroom.
You get paid to laugh.
"I went to the bathroom."
What do you think this is?
- So far there are three savants:
Matías, Lorenzo, Ludmila.
After the break they will compete for the
accumulated prize pool of 83,000 pesos.
So don't go away, we'll be right back.
- We are in the break.
We'll be back in four minutes.
- What happened? -Little to nothing.
I saw some lefties, but nothing else.
- You? -This is a mess.
It's a mess, this TV station!
- Don't go far, Anteojito, we'll be on air soon.
- I'll be with my brother.
- So, guys? -Well, well.
- Lorenzo made it to the final. Did you see?
- Don't get your hopes up because
you won't win. It's all fixed.
This is bullshit, it's a scam.
- Fill all the coupon boxes.
- And people are quite stupid to call.
Don't they realize that they will never win?
It's a million dollars a roll.
- Security!
- It's the wardrobe lady.
- I found the button here.
- Ludmila, what name is the oldest
standing army in the world known as?
- Oh, oh, Ludmila! What happened?
- I'm sorry.
- The Helvetic Cohort.
It was founded in 1506 and charged with
guarding the Pope, no less, in the Vatican.
Gentlemen, we send Ludmila off
with a round of applause.
I don't know about at home,
but here the studio is on fire.
I don't know what hard battle
awaits our little gladiators.
It's a final not for the faint-hearted.
Matías, have you studied a lot?
- Yes, I've been studying for six months now.
I couldn't take it anymore.
- And you, Lorenzo,
how long have you been studying?
- No... They told me this morning.
- Where is this jerk now?
- Do you copy me in the van?
- Yes, I copy you, Montero.
- We have a suspect, gentlemen.
Even the button of the overcoat is missing.
The mastermind still hasn't come forward.
But I want you to talk to the judge, to tap
the phones of all the directors of the station.
That is to say, the details of the calls
of the last 72 hours.
Background checks,
bank transactions, everything.
Mansilla is going to tail the suspect.
We will arrest him only
when we have the confirmation, not before.
I repeat: we do not arrest him before.
One false step in the TV station
and I'll never get rid
of the deputy commissioner again.
- He knows! Natural sciences, Lorenzo.
What is the scientific name of the feathered
bird commonly known as the cattle egret?
- Bubulcus ibis.
- He knows it!
Matías, what's the name of the wind
coming from the southeast?
- Sudestada.
- He knows it!
- Lorenzo, who is the proclaimed
Statúder of Holland in 1947?
- William IV of Orange.
- He knows!
- Which liberator crossed the Andes,
Matías, on horseback?
- San Martin.
- He knows!
- Franco, do you copy?
- Loud and clear. Tell me.
- The fat man has a gun.
- That's not unusual. He's a security guard.
I need confirmation on the button, please.
- He went into the bathroom.
Should I follow him?
- Tell me your position. We're all set.
- Entering the hallway of studio seven,
first fork to the right,
there are two doors. Those are the bathrooms.
- Copy that, Mansilla. Bianchini here.
Stay calm. I know the station.
Last year I brought my son to Marley's.
- Bianchini, who called you?
- I heard about it. I came to lend a hand.
Be ready. We're about to enter.
- Here I am, Mansilla, on the other side
of the corridor. Can you see me?
From now on, turn down the volume
on the handy. I'll take care of it.
Okay, gentlemen, Mansilla is coming in.
Stay tuned.
- It's not coming out?
- It doesn't look like it.
- Anything wrong?
- No, nothing's wrong.
- You're sure?
- Please, sure!
- What's the matter, Slim?
What's wrong with you?
- Nothing, just...
- Nothing, my balls. You're staring at me.
- Calm down, I swear...
- I swear what? Speak.
- He has the same button.
- What's wrong?
- Nothing, nothing.
- What's the matter?
- Talk to me on the handy. I don't copy.
- He has the button.
- He has the button!
- Stop. Police.
- Police operation. Agent Bianchini.
Put your hands against the wall.
- You're under arrest
for the murder of Sergio Atalef.
Anything you say
can and will be used against you.
If you don't have a lawyer,
one will be provided for you.
- It's plastic.
- Of course it's plastic, sir.
- And the button?
- What button?
- How do you justify that the button missing
from your coat was in Atalef's house?
- How should I know? These clothes
were given to me in the dresser room.
I'm an extra. I'm here to do a gig
on the afternoon soap opera.
I'm a bodyguard.
- Cut, buddy. Cut for a moment.
- What are those cameras, Bianchini?
Find out this guy's background, please.
- I'll tell you, sir. I worked on the short film
"The Adventure" and "Chiquititas".
- Split, split, split!
- Well, let's see what the production says.
Manu, split?
No. Pablo? Yes. Let's see, do they
break the tie now, yes or no?
No, no.
There is a producer, gentlemen.
He says no split.
We'd better come back tomorrow
and listen to these boys
who are going to dispute,
Lorenzo and Matías, Matías and Lorenzo,
the accumulated jackpot that reached
record figures: 83,900 pesos.
Tomorrow we'll meet on this
same channel at the same time.
Quique Pavón, who isn't
a turkey at all, greets you.
Why? Because he knows everything! Bye.
- They are good, the Russians.
Look how they are in the stands: fascinated.
- Why do you say it to me?
I love them. The one who wanted
to fire them was Atalef, not me.
Brothers and detectives.
- I'm doing my job.
- This is a TV station. How dare you
set up such an operation in here?
- I come out of the bathroom and outside
there's a bunch of cops pointing at me.
I'm walking down the hallways
and I feel like someone's chasing me.
- Call off all the police
or we'll fuck everything up.
- Franco. Franco.
- Lorenzo, wait a little while, I've got a mess
I can't even tell you about.
- I have something important to tell you.
- I also have something important to tell you.
You have a brother who's a moron.
An asshole who at any moment
will be out of a job.
- But I know what happened. I'm sure about it.
- Excuse me. Good evening.
I'm Detective Montero. Homicide division.
I'm investigating a murder.
- My brother doesn't speak Spanish and
he just wanted to know who you are.
- Your names are?
- I'm Mirco and he's Jarco.
- Last names?
- Did you know Sergio Atalef,
producer of this program?
- Yes.
- Did you know the apartment where he lived?
- No.
- No?
That's funny, because I understood
that they had a party to celebrate...
- I'm sorry, what's going on?
- No, no, the party, yes, it's true.
- I forgot about the party.
- Then you know where he lived.
What did you guys do last night?
- We were at the movies.
- What movie did you see?
- It was an action movie.
- Who was the actor in the movie, guys?
- It was an actor with his hand...
- Easy, easy, easy.
- Stop, police!
- Film this.
- Agent Bianchini gives the order to keep still!
- Mirco, Jarco, what's going on? Come here.
- I want agents at all canal gates.
They're Atalef's killers.
Mansilla, come with me.
You stay here. Samorini and Smith.
- Send reinforcements. Mansilla is in danger.
- Danger? Fifth dan in Kung Fu.
- Mansilla does Kung Fu?
- Stop.
- I think this is him.
- Are you okay, Mansilla?
- Do you know how long it's been
since I've fought?
- Imagine two illegal immigrants.
They barely speak Spanish,
they barely have enough to eat.
One day a manager of the TV station
passes by in his car
and discovers two jugglers at a traffic light.
The guy gives them a card.
Overnight they are working in television.
They earn their own money,
they start to get people's affection.
They feel important
for the first time in their lives.
Everything is fabulous for a couple of months
until tragedy strikes.
- Do we leave things as they are?
Do we change anything, or what?
- No, renew everyone's contract.
The team is working great!
I'd get rid of the Russians. Fire them.
Do you know why?
They make me sad, they bring me down.
Besides, they sweat like beasts. They have
a zoo smell that turns you upside down!
- They can't go back to being nobodies
after having known glory.
They know that Atalef is gambling everything
on whatever comes. They begin to think.
- There he is, the girl voyeur.
He's always there.
Come on, shake him up a little bit.
- They study the movements of the building.
They see there's a witness.
The plan is set in motion.
There are two of them,
but their athletic ability can make them one.
The watchman sees but does not hear.
He sees a man limping but does not imagine
that it is the awkward movement
of Jarco's effort to carry Mirco.
- What do these two want now?
- They don't waste time.
They take no chances.
Their first objective
was to eliminate the enemy.
The second, to divert our investigation.
They got ready, waited for the witness
to show up, and the show began.
Not having Mirco's weight on him,
Jarco no longer limps.
For his part, Mirco, who is left-handed,
makes blunders in punctuation that make it
obvious that he is a foreigner.
The rest is known history.
- In an unprecedented operation last night,
the police arrested
Mirco and Jarco Stopar,
suspected of the murder
of producer Sergio Atalef.
- The Stopar brothers, originally
from the Russian city of Vladivostok,
worked as acrobats in the program Savants
produced by Atalef.
The motive for the horrendous crime
is said to be related
only the prevention of a possible dismissal.
- As if this were not enough, it is our duty
to inform you that the police investigation
also yielded unsuspected results
that ended with the arrest
of 14 managers of that station
and 22 lower-ranking employees.
- Among other charges,
they are accused of bidding irregularities,
over-billing, tax evasion, and the list goes on:
industrial espionage,
money laundering, drug smuggling,
and even the unusual case
of Mr. Gabriel Krivitsky,
producer of the afternoon soap opera
who dedicated himself during the night
to the production of pornographic films
with animals in empty studios.
- Freeze!
- Yes, laugh, fools,
but I was on television, at least.
- But as Quique Pavón rightly said yesterday
"The show must go on",
so after the images we leave you with the end
of the children's section of Savants,
a program created by Atalef.
Have a very good afternoon, country.
- Turn up the volume.
- Architecture: Which famous architect
built the Willits house in Illinois?
- Frank Lloyd Wright.
- He knows! -He knows!
- Matías, what is the emblematic
pointy monument of Buenos Aires?
- The obelisk.
- He knows!
- Music. Who composed
the Hungarian national anthem?
- Volchef Matrazur.
- He knows it!
- Do, re, mi, fa... -Sol.
- He knows it!
- Painting: what painting by Claude Lorrain
is currently on the second floor
of the National Gallery of London?
- Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba?
- He knows!
- Who was the Spanish painter who drew
the famous "dove of peace"? Pablo Pi...
-...cachú.
- What's wrong?
- I got confused.
- Unfortunately I have to say,
ladies and gentlemen, that he doesn't know!
Pablo Picasso was it, Matías, Pablo Picasso.
Well, we have a new winner.
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of
the 102,000 pesos jackpot is Lorenzo!
- Wise guy, wise guy, wise guy!
- Well done, Lorenzo, well done.
Congratulations, Lorenzo.
- Well, tell us, little genius,
what are you going to do with the 102,000
pesos you just won from the jackpot.
- In honor of my brother Franco Montero
I am not going to accept it.
So I am going to donate it to the municipality
to fill the squares
of the poorest neighborhoods with games.
He made me see how bad it is that
both parents and producers
of these programs profit
from the exposure of their children.
The message is success-oriented,
competitive,
and on top of that, they treat them
like little animals.
- What a surprise for everyone!
This child taught adults a lesson.
I congratulate you, Lorenzo.
Your generosity moves me.
- And to me your attitude
seems to me total bullshit.
- Is something wrong with you?
- No.
- I was wrong to donate, wasn't I?
- No, you weren't.
- Maybe you wanted the money.
- Me? What for?
I think it's better for the kids
to play in the squares, Lorenzo.
- Bianchini, Montero.
Very good about your little brother.
Let me know when the games are ready
so we can go together to the seesaw.
- Suck my balls, Bianchini.
- Here Aveleira, Montero. Do you copy?
- Yes, Aveleira, come on, tease me too.
- No, why tease?
I need a relief, tomorrow morning
I have my daughter's communion.
- A relief? What do you need a relief for?
- What for? I'm tailing the fat guy
from the joint in Boedo.
- No, no, Avaleira, the case has been solved.
- Fortunato here. What do you mean,
the case is solved? You're teasing me?
I've been hanging here
for two hours hanging from a pole
watching how the fat guy
from the floating casino
takes his body language class.
Why don't you all go
to the motherfuckin' hell?
