Original subtitles

Are you going to shoot me?

Shoot a narcissist like you?

No.

You'll suffer much worse in prison,

having to line up for the shower

or even to take out a damn library book.

- Sancho. - Grazia. I have the son of a bitch.

I'll send the location.

You've lost weight, Inspector.

Are you eating okay?

If there's something that you need to talk about,

to get off your chest...

I consider you almost family.

Get up, asshole.

Let's go!

How's Valladolid?

Do they miss me?

I had a dream about Martina.

I entered her home looking for her and she wasn't there.

Then I heard a moan.

I turned and there was a guy on top of her.

He was strangling her.

The guy was you.

Keep walking, shithead!

Open your mouth, Spaniard!

Open your mouth!

I don't know who you are, but this doesn't concern you.

You owe me one, Inspector.

We're still playing.

BASED ON THE NOVEL DIES IRAE BY CÉSAR PÉREZ GELLIDA

Go on in.

Take a seat.

It's a good thing you're here.

Can we finally go to breakfast?

I just want to know why.

I don't know about you, but I'm starving at this time of day.

Stop messing around, you bastard.

That hiding behind the character

doesn't work anymore.

Trust me, Mejía, this is my best side.

I trusted you.

You were part of the team.

And yet you manipulated us, used us and betrayed us.

You're wrong.

I just wanted the same thing as all of you,

to catch Augusto.

You're a fucking liar.

You never wanted us to catch him.

I wanted to stop him, but a different way.

You still haven't answered my question.

Why?

Life is good for you in Valladolid, right, Mejía?

Of course it is.

And do you know why?

Because all you see is trees,

whereas I see the forest.

I've seen the entire forest for 30 years.

Sometimes the end justifies the means.

That's something you should know, Mr. Commissioner.

What I know is that my best officer is suspended and destroyed

thanks to you.

Sancho is the only one responsible for what's wrong with him,

take it from a psychologist.

Armando Lopategui, you're accused of obstruction

and disobeying authorities.

And once we dig a little,

just a little,

being an accessory to several murders,

take it from a commissioner.

My only crime was trusting my investigation source.

I'm a victim,

just like all of you.

You've got some balls, pal.

Listen, nobody believes the twin theory.

Not even Sancho?

Deputy Inspector.

The famous Armando Lopategui.

My friends call my Scarface.

Robert J. Michelson.

I've been dying to meet you in person.

That's an honor coming from you, Mr. Michelson.

I'd shake your hand, but as you can see...

Could someone please get me some water?

Interpol, Europol?

Interpol.

You're in quite a mess.

Are you going to help?

I've never had any other intention.

Where were you?

We were at Augusto's mysterious twin brother, right?

Orestes. His name is Orestes.

And I can take you to him.

In exchange for my freedom, of course.

Screw that.

Are you going to keep messing with us, Scarface?

Orestes exists.

And he's in Valladolid.

What's there to lose?

Commissioner,

Deputy Inspector, please.

Where are you?

Put the bag down and walk away from it.

Of course.

Show me your pockets and open your blouse.

Lift up your shirt.

Seriously?

Do it.

How is Sancho?

Give me a break, Scarface.

Trust me, Matesanz, I'm very fond of him.

He's dying to see you too.

But I'm not sure it's because he's fond of you.

I'm well aware of the pain I've caused him.

I think about Martina every day.

But I had good reasons for doing what I did.

What are they?

I wish I could tell you.

Forget it. Don't you see he's messing with us?

Why protect that bastard?

Peteira.

Don't take the bait. Can't you see he's a damn manipulator?

Dr. Frankenstein also had good reasons for creating the monster.

Sure. And which one are you?

Dr. Frankenstein or the monster?

Alright.

If this Orestes exists and leads us to Augusto,

we have a deal.

Now tell us, where is this Orestes hiding?

Your brother isn't as afraid of me.

Did you think I'd kill you?

Why did you want to see me?

I was thinking about what you said.

Maybe I did have the wrong brother.

I don't believe you, but go on.

I want to see where this is going.

Augusto is uncontrollable, but you and I would make a good team.

For what?

To write our own story.

I don't need you.

I know that it's you.

You've always been the one behind your brother.

The brains behind the beast.

If your father couldn't manipulate me,

you certainly won't.

My father and your brother have betrayed us both.

We're all alone, Orestes.

I thought Augusto was what I was looking for.

But he was just a reflection of you.

A distorted copy.

You're the alpha.

What are you looking for?

The same thing you are.

Someone who completes me.

Tell me,

- do you like that? - Yes.

Like that?

- Yes. - That's not even the best part.

INCOMING CALL MATESANZ

If you want to yell at me, great. I'm deaf in one ear.

A dead body and an escaped serial killer.

And a Spanish cop who keeps fucking up, yes.

No, don't go so easy on yourself.

Are you sure you have nothing to tell me about that gun you wanted so badly?

- No, nothing. - Why was a weapons dealer there?

Ask Augusto.

- What the hell were you thinking? - I don't know, Grazia. I don't know!

I spoke to your superiors at Interpol.

You're going home.

I figured.

Why did you go to arrest him on your own?

I guess it's no use to say I'm sorry.

Safe travels, Sancho.

Her name was Martina.

She was the psycholinguist working with us.

And Augusto strangled her.

Maybe because she was helping us or because we were together...

The point is that it was my fault.

Since then, I can't stop thinking about it.

You shouldn't be working in your state.

It's dangerous.

I can't stop, Grazia.

I can't stop.

I understand,

but I think you're making a mistake.

Oh well.

Since Augusto came into my life, I've constantly made mistakes

and let everyone down, so...

Meet me at the station before you leave.

And I'll get you some clothes that my ex left at my place.

Thanks.

You have to change.

With my bad luck,

I'm sure my suitcase will get here once I'm in Valladolid.

Sorry about your ear.

But I don't think it has affected you much.

You never listen to what you're told.

It must be bad if you're calling.

Not particularly.

A minor incident with Sancho.

What happened?

That's my question.

How did he find me?

You think I'd turn you in?

Who else would be able to track me?

I have an idea.

But you have to come back to Valladolid.

- Why? - Because I can protect you here.

That's not a valid reason for me.

Erika is here.

Did you know?

Is that a problem?

The past is the only dead thing that smells sweet.

I'm glad.

Because we have a problem with her.

And her father.

Problems need to be taken care of.

That's what I think.

See you in a few hours.

Thank you.

Congratulations on the new office.

But you should have also gotten a new coffee maker,

because no one can drink this sludge.

The information you gave Sancho was correct.

Did he arrest him?

He was about to.

- But he got away. - Shit, what a son of a bitch.

- Michelson just told me. - I told you I wouldn't lie to you.

That's good, otherwise I'd rip your head off.

Matesanz, let's discuss the operation.

Thank you.

I see you remember how I like mine.

Why are you here?

Why do you think?

I'm the one that fixes what others break.

Why didn't you stay out of it?

Because I can't.

My daughter will be in danger

- as long as Augusto is still out there. - Michelson.

- You're wanted in the meeting. - Thank you.

If you'll excuse me.

Clear.

Target lost.

You're kidding.

Target lost.

Let's regroup, we'll check the outer perimeter.

That bastard Scarface screwed us again.

Come look at this.

He saw us coming.

They're fucking with us, Matesanz!

We look like fools!

- Calm down! - That's enough!

Let's get to work.

That son of a bitch!

- Report immediately. - Escape route identified.

I repeat: escape route identified.

Team Alpha, seal the perimeter.

- Check all entrances. - Got it.

I don't know how you could be with a guy that wore shirts like this.

You're different when you smile.

Different how?

Better.

You should do it more.

And lose that pesce lesso look on your face.

Pesce what?

How do you say it?

Sour.

Well...

Lately, I've felt like...

I don't have a right to smile.

As if it were a sin.

I know the feeling.

You've got skeletons in your closet too?

A few years ago,

I was after a child molester.

I saw photos...

and I heard things that...

It affected me so badly I decided not to have kids.

I couldn't bear the idea of bringing a child into a world

where things like what I saw could happen to them.

Didn't you say you have a child?

I do.

I changed my mind.

And it's the best thing I've ever done.

I know what you're trying to say.

But I don't think I'll get past this shit.

Don't delay.

If I had given in

to the feeling that child molester caused,

Fabio wouldn't be here.

And the world would be much worse.

Sancho.

You aren't a worse cop for smiling

or enjoying life.

Augusto took away my desire to enjoy anything.

Then he's already killed you.

Don't let him win.

Don't be another one of his victims.

Gosh, Grazia.

I'd hug you, but I think if I move,

this shirt will split.

- What is it? - We put out a border alert

at train stations, airports and tolls.

- And? - A payment was registered

at a toll booth under the name Rodion Raskolnikov.

- From what book? - Crime and Punishment.

Son of a bitch.

It's Augusto.

He's left Italy.

I called Forensics for an ocular inspection.

What do you think?

Whoever was there took off in a hurry.

But was it Orestes?

Scarface screwed us again. I'd bet my life on it.

Let's go find out.

Whoever was there escaped.

You tipped him off, asshole.

That's enough...

If Orestes escaped,

he knows I'm the one who snitched on him.

We don't know if it was Orestes.

You really think I made all this up?

It's Orestes!

Well, I've done my part. Now you guys do yours.

Commissioner.

Can we speak alone for a moment?

Yes, of course.

Deputy Inspector...

I think it's better to let him go.

Let him go, my ass.

We can't keep him here much longer.

And I doubt that a judge would authorize his arrest without a violent crime.

Or am I wrong?

No, you're not wrong.

Scarface didn't lie.

There was someone else.

The Trieste information was right.

And he's more useful if he's on our side.

We can use him.

Are you scared he'll call someone higher up

and make you pay or what?

I don't know what you mean by that.

But if Scarface is telling the truth,

you have much more to lose than I do.

We'll let him go. If what he says is true, we need him to keep cooperating.

He could lead us to Orestes,

or even to Augusto.

We'll put a tracking device on him, okay?

- Hello? - Sancho,

I've been trying to reach you.

So, what the hell happened?

I almost had him, Matesanz. I was so close!

- I'll tell you later. - I have to tell you something too.

It's about that damn Scarface.

Is he causing trouble again?

No, no.

He told us where in Valladolid we could find Augusto's alleged brother.

But he just barely got away, just barely.

Listen, if Augusto is in Trieste,

that means that his brother or whoever is helping him was--

Augusto isn't here.

He crossed the border with a fake ID.

What? Where is that son of a bitch going?

I think I know.

Boss, Michelson.

I just spoke to Sancho.

Is he okay?

Yes, he's on the next flight. There's something else.

Augusto left Italy.

Sancho thinks he's headed to Valladolid.

- Does he have proof? - It's just a feeling.

Well, we better get ready.

I'm off.

A colleague will take you to the airport.

No, I'll take a taxi.

You need to take out a loan to afford a taxi in Trieste.

Yeah, you have a point.

Thank you.

It was short, but intense.

And you've got a souvenir.

Yeah...

And some new clothes.

And new clothes.

Sorry for messing things up.

Think about what we talked about.

You're a good cop.

And an awesome woman.

And you're a brute.

But you're a better guy than you think you are.

Ciao, Inspector Sancho.

Ciao, Inspector Galo.

I'll return the shirt.

A souvenir from Trieste.

PRIVATE NUMBER DON'T COME TO VALLADOLID

FOLLOW THE LIST. DO YOUR JOB HONOR YOUR COMMITMENT

Finally, Dad. I've called you a million times.

Are you in Trieste?

No, I'm still in Valladolid. I'll explain.

Where are you?

I'm still here.

In Valladolid?

I told you to leave.

Well, don't leave the house

and don't open the door for anyone.

Orestes knows I betrayed him.

I'm not worried about Orestes, Dad.

Augusto left Trieste.

You think he'll come to Valladolid?

I'm afraid so.

Okay, okay. If he does, he'll visit his brother.

Erika, don't do anything--

Orestes is the brains, Dad. Augusto is the executioner.

You gave Orestes the keys

to turn Augusto into a murderer.

Good job, your plan worked.

But I can't stop thinking about how,

without Orestes, without you,

Augusto wouldn't be the predator he is today.

Don't empathize with him, he's an animal.

I just tried to manipulate his instinct.

He'd have ended up killing anyway.

We'll never know that.

Erika.

Erika.

Erika?

Erika?

Erika!

No.
