The Killer is Not Alone

Don't be afraid, I won't bite Go on, come in

The zipper

First you have to pay, handsome

The Killer is Not Alone

What do you mean it hasn't arrived?

It should've been at the port yesterday morning

Call the port authority and see if they know something

What? The cargo was in the harbor a week?

If that boat hasn't arrived by noon

have the steel loaded onto the Infante Christina to fill Egypt's order

Now where were we?

Hm, where the piano wire was being referred to...

Ah yes, in reference to that wire,

Ah yes, in reference to that wire, the order will be filled as quickly as possible-

Enrique, do you want to call the meeting? Everyone's here

- Yes, I'll be there in a minute - Have breakfast first

A moment please. Yes?

Mr. Enrique, your son is here, he wants to see you

Tell him to wait a bit

He spent the night away from home and now he wants me to get him out of some mess

The port authority sir

Yes, what is it?

- Very well Mr. Nieto - What?

Be so kind as to wait a moment

- Julio - Hello Father

I'm sorry I made you wait. What's the matter?

Well, I wanted to tell you that...

- ... last night... - Was there some special problem?

- You're busy - Well, yes Julio, very much, as always

Let's see... this won't last more than half an hour,

wait here and afterwards we'll have breakfast together

Very well Father

Your father isn't here, did you want something?

Nothing, just to say hello

- Did you have fun? - Yes

Son, I can't pay attention to you now, your father will be here for me in an hour

Do you want me bring you something back from Amsterdam?

Dear Father,

taking advantage of the Holy Week vacations,

I'm leaving for a few days

On the second floor. It'll be fine, it's a very peaceful hostel

Who are you? What do you want?

I came to...

Oh, excuse me, I'll be with you right away

Consuelo, continue with the girls

Come

- I thought so. So what are you, a student? - Yes, a student

In this business we learn to figure people out,

can you imagine how many people have come through here in all these years?

- I suppose so - Come

You'll be able to study in peace here

I can't stand another minute, do you hear me?

No one can stand this, you have to do something Mrs. Dolores

- What's the matter Theresa? - What's the matter?

You say that as if you didn't know, it's impossible to sleep here

- I work, Miss - Work? You call that work?

Torturing me all day long with that machine?

- It's the tool of my trade - And of my torture

Look Mrs. Dolores, this can't continue this way.

I need to sleep during the day

- and this gentleman, with that noise- - Come Theresa, and you Mr. Raymundo,

- let's keep calm - I don't bother anyone, I'm working

Yes, but you have to understand that you work

at the same time Ms. Theresa is resting

Well, she should work during the day like everyone else

Fine, then you ask the director of the sanatorium

If you wanted Mr. Raymundo, everything could be settled

I could give you a room next to Mr. Juanito,

he's out all day and you wouldn't bother anyone

- I don't bother anyone - I know you don't,

but if you were in the other room

then Ms. Theresa could rest peacefully all day

and there would be no cause for complaint

- What a welcome we've given you - Don't worry

I suppose they'll give you the room next to mine.

You don't have a typewriter, do you?

No, I'm very peaceful, I won't be a bother

- Then welcome home - Thank you

What do you think?

The room is yours as soon as we move Mr. Raymundo's junk

If you want to wash up, the bathroom is down the hall on the left

In the meantime I'll get your room ready

Go on, go already

- Good evening - Hello

I was going...

- At the end of the hall, to the left - Thank you

- Yes, Mr. Nieto - Mr. Enrique, the director?

- Of course the director - And who is calling?

- Julio Nieto - His son?

- Yes, put me through - One moment please

Hello? Your father isn't in the office, would you like to leave a message?

No, forget it

Hello Carmen. Good afternoon everyone

Thank you

The Wire Strangler's St club Crime There are no prints from the killer

I didn't have time to say goodbye to you

but I'll try to call as soon as possible,

these have been some very difficult days for me

Oh Enrique, your son called

- What did he say? - He wanted to speak with you

Sounds like he's having a good time, I suppose he wanted money

- Do you know if he called from Madrid? - Yes, that's what he said,

or from Malaga, I didn't hear him too well

Did he leave an address?

- What was that? - Did he leave an address?

- Oh, no, not with me - You didn't ask him what was going on,

- why he left home? - It's your turn

You know why he left, I don't know why you're so worried

The boy found some girl he likes and gone to see her

Carmen, please. What did he say?

What? I already told you, he wanted to speak to you

He's bound to call tonight once we're asleep, anything to be a nuisance

What was that friend of his called, the one who shot so well?

What was his name... do you remember?

- The Sancherios' son? - Yes, that's the one

Wait...

- Why do you want to know? - Because he might have spoken with Julio

Carlos, no no, Ernesto Sancherios

Come on Rosita, give me a little more

Later,

once I'm done with everyone else

Women always refuse by default, no matter what

And you Mr. Juanito, always the same thing on your mind

- Me? What did I say? - As if we didn't know you

What's that laugh about?

It's obvious, you're always chasing skirts,

- all the girls at your office are terrified - This smells like a conspiracy,

Ray Anderson here has already begun investigating

Let's settle down. How is the case going Mr. Raymundo?

You're not about to find out, I'm not saying another word

- Why not? - Because later you won't read the book

We didn't plan to read it anyway,

he tells us every detail of his books during mealtimes

Well, that's why

You solve cases very well in your little novels,

but as for real crimes, you haven't solved a single one

That's what the police are for

And where would the police be without you?

It seems to me that in the case of the Habiles monster,

neither you nor the police are making progress

Did you see the picture of that poor girl in the newspaper?

Why all this unpleasant talk around the dinner table?

Unpleasant? Why? These are all facts of life

They're things for a madmen, for a sexual maniac

Please, the girl is here

- Don't tell me those types are uncommon - You'd know that best

Look how well the little girl understands these things

- Monica has a right to an opinion, right? - Keep quiet Monica, let your elders speak

Let's see if Mr. Raymundo decides to tell us his deductions.

Don't make us beg, you're the expert on the subject

The truth is that nothing is known because nothing can be known

- The oracle has spoken - And nothing can be known

because these sorts of crimes consist of very complex clinical oddities

I'd say that every killer creates his own bloodline,

he is born and dies by himself, he resembles no other

But the police must know something by now

The only thing they know is that he murders his victims with a wire

So what? Where's the motive?

The motive is the wire we'll have to balance on in order to find the killer

Like I said, in these sorts of crimes

the motives are hidden, secret, mysterious

There is no previous relationship between the victim and her executioner

Alright, but does he rape them before or afterwards?

Please, let's not go there

- Go on - It's a very simple matter

These sort of crimes belong to a disordered mind...

- Hello Ernesto, thanks for coming - It was nothing

Listen, has it been long since you've seen Julio?

Saw him? Well, two weeks ago,

but I haven't spoken to him since last summer

Did something happen, did you stop being friends?

He must be upset,

since the incident at the shooting club, he hasn't wanted to see us

What happened at the shooting club?

Did something happen to Julio?

- Well, I don't know, he left home - Why?

I have a few suspicions, that's why I called you

Tell me Ernesto, what happened at the club that day?

What exactly happened?

Well... it was at the beginning of this summer

We had spent the afternoon at the shooting club

Julio was in a good mood and was having fun with everyone

When we rejoined the group Sarah took him aside,

she wanted to give him a gift

I liked Sarah. Well, it was nothing important,

she was a likable girl, pleasant,

but she preferred Julio, that's why she took him to the cabin

I don't know what happened, but a bit later she ran out, very scared

All she did was cry, not answering my questions

She cried and cried in a fit of hysteria.

- She seemed very frightened - Why, what did she say?

Tell me, what did Julio do to her?

She didn't want to tell me anything. I asked him, but...

- And you didn't see anything else? - No, nothing, just what I said

It was a long time ago, I don't think he'd leave home because of that

Have you heard anything from him? Where is he?

Is it your size? It suits you very well

- I'll wear it home - What do you mean you'll wear it home?

- No? - It'll itch

- Then I'll take it off - Fine

Just imagine it, since my father died I've provided for the family.

I don't mind helping, but I need my independence

Naturally, your mother has to understand

Yes, but you know how people become more selfish as they grow older

And now she's gone back to dancing, you know?

She was an important dancer when she was young,

but she left it all when she married my father

She says I have talent, just picture that,

with me being as clumsy as I am

Come on

- What sort of things do you like? - Excuse me?

Well, do you like to read? Sports? What are your hobbies?

I'll tell you a secret,

what I like most in the world are frankfurter sausages

I like them like crazy, I eat them at all hours

And rhinoceroses, my father has the best collection in the world

What else do you like?

Well, besides sausages and rhinoceroses,

I like sports, traveling...

- Alone? - Yes, alone

You seem very reserved. You like solitude

I think we'll get along well,

I don't like noisy people at all, ones who talk too much

I don't like those sorts of people either, I prefer peace and quiet

Then we understand each other, we have the same tastes,

aside from the rhinoceroses

You're still like that? Go get me the platter

- Can't Rosita bring it? - No, Rosita has a lot to do

Go get it I said, immediately!

Bream every Sunday, beautiful?

If you don't like the menu stay at the Ritz

- What are you doing? - Look

Get out of here pig

- What's the matter, are you crazy? - Beat it!

What's all the ruckus?

Morals are fine, but that guy's a prude

- I didn't do anything to him - I know Sarah, I know,

- I would never think of blaming you - But-

I already told you, I'm worried about Julio and perhaps you can help me

Ernesto told me what happened at the cabin.

Why did he get upset with you?

He insulted me, said some horrible things

But why? There must be some reason.

Did anything strange happen?

Julio was in a good mood when he arrived with Ernesto.

I called him aside

I think he liked me because other times...

well, I'd noticed he looked at me, understand?

He didn't treat me like the other girls in the group. I like Julio too,

he was so timid, so courteous

I've thought about it many times,

but I can't find a reason for his absurd reaction

He started insulting me in a hateful way,

no one had ever said things like that to me

He insulted me, he said some horrible things, horrible,

but I hadn't offended him.

He said I was like Martha, just like Martha he said

But I don't know Martha. Who is she?

Martha?

I don't know who Martha is, I don't know

Wait, where are you going?

- Let go of me - No, wait, come here a minute

- Don't leave, let me explain - There's nothing to explain

- Wait. You won't say anything? - Who would I tell?

Mrs. Dolores and everyone else at the hostel

Don't worry, I won't say anything

You're a good boy, you can be trusted

- I have to go - What's the rush?

Look, let's do something.

Drink your whiskey and wait until closing,

- it will only be 10 minutes - No, I'm leaving

Don't be silly, it's my treat

It's a way of celebrating our secret

Don't make that face

Don't you like me?

Don't be afraid, I won't bite

The zipper

So you're Martha

You were a student back then

and took care Julio all summer when my wife and I took a trip to Japan

- Do you remember Julio? - Yes, but it's been so long...

What happened back then?

What happened between you and Julio?

Nothing

Why do you say nothing? He remembers you

- That's his business - And mine, and yours as well

What happened? It would be better for you if you told me now

Nothing happened, I just took care of him

I warn you Miss, it's useless to keep denying it,

because I'll find out one way or another

I don't know what you're talking about

What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about? He remembers you

and I'm sure it's not for a pleasant reason

I don't know what you're talking about

So you're refusing to tell me Talk already! What happened?

- You're hurting me mother! - What do you mean? Stop whining

- Arms high, the waist like this - Let's forget this,

you're hurting me and I don't like it

While you're still a minor you have to obey me girl,

so you can get those thoughts of independence out of your head

- My god Mother, again? - Don't take that tone with me,

and listen to me when I'm speaking to you.

You think you can go around doing what you please?

- Let's not exaggerate things - I don't exaggerate girl,

I know what I'm saying and I know what's good for you

and I don't like you messing around with that boy at all

- But Mom... - No buts,

I've seen together more than once

I know what you're going to say,

that he's handsome, that he's well educated,

but you're not old enough to think about boyfriends,

and him, he's a man,

I bet he even has a formal girlfriend, he's just using you

- Using me? - Yes

Poor thing

I don't like you speaking to me that way

What do you know about men, about life?

The only thing I know is that he's alone, and he needs me

I bring fresh news Mr. Emerson.

Here's a report from a psychiatrist

who confirms the connection between those crimes

It's, as you had supposed, the work of a single killer, of a madman,

a sex maniac, that's what the interview says

- Then poor Theresa was... - Yes ma'am,

just look at where our nurses night shift has led things

What sort of madman Mr. Raymundo?

Evidently a sex maniac

The relationship between the crimes is that all the victims were prostitutes

It's more than likely that the killer,

from what we can deduce from this interview,

suffered a traumatizing experience in his infancy or adolescence

What was that?

An especially unpleasant premature sexual experience,

with a woman who mocked his manhood, for example

But such an experience wouldn't cause a normal man to become a killer

The thing is that these types aren't men at all,

as soon as they find themselves with a stacked lady

they don't even know the first thing to do

- You understand, right? - Stop talking nonsense

In the first place, these sort of subjects exhibit a schizoid personality

that is to say, there's a division in their personality,

so when they commit the crimes

they don't act in a way that's controlled by their consciousness,

but dominated exclusively by that other part of them

ruled by their subconscious

and in which there dominates negative experiences

and the repressed anxieties of their infancy

That's all well and good, Mr. Doctor, but is there evidence or not?

In the newspapers the other day they said they had found some prints or something,

- and the watchman... - It's true, the watchman saw the monster

The bad thing is that as I said the other night,

with this type of crime...

Why don't you go to the police?

I can't, I can't do it

His mother would go crazy if she knew the police was looking for him,

this is a private matter... it has to be private

Look for him as discretely as possible,

we just want him to come back home

Every day there are more boys running away.

- Did you bring the pictures? - Here they are, I've made 20 copies

It would help if you gave me some information.

His habits, how tall is he?

He's 1.76, blonde hair,

blue eyes, strong

He likes to eat frankfurter sausages anywhere at any time, and also...

he collects rhinoceroses

What? Rhinoceroses?

Yes, I do too, it's our hobby, they aren't real,

they're made out of different materials

If you know some place they sell them...

What a surprise, it's the prettiest one I have!

And it's so hard to find them, it's marvelous! How did you get it?

What does it matter? The important thing is you like it

I wasn't sure if I should get this or a can of sausages

A coffee please

Waiter, give me a coin

- Yes? - Mr. Enrique, I've found him

- Is he alright? - Yes

What is he doing?

He's very well, with a stunning girl next to him

I'll be there immediately. What's the address?

Close to your hotel, at the bistro in the town square

Don't lose sight of him for a moment,

and don't tell anyone. I'll be right out

Mr. Enrique! Look, there he goes

Julio, who was that? Why are they looking for you?

It's not important, it's nothing

Will you tell me?

Don't grow up Monica, don't grow up, don't become an adult

But I am an adult

But not like the others, don't grow up

Tell me, who was he? Why was he calling you?

He's been looking for me, he's looking for me

But who is he?

- My father, he's looking for me - Why? What did you do?

I don't know what I did

I was just a boy. She was like my mother, you know? She tricked me

She tricked me, you know?

She tricked me

It was Martha, Martha tricked me

My parents had gone on a trip and she was looking after me

She took care of me, and I think...

that I loved her more than my own mother

because she was always playing with me

and told me marvelous stories

But she tricked me, Martha tricked me

Don't ever become a woman, don't be like her, like all of them

We'll forget everyone and everything. They won't find us

If you hadn't yelled... But why did he run?

You said he loved you very much

We'll find him soon enough,

more than 12 men are looking for him, we'll find him again

Something happened to him, there's no doubt, something terrible

I think it'd be best to call the police

No! Not the police, I'll find him myself

That's where that goes, let's see how you deal with that bridge

Mr. Gonzalo

Well boy, you soon got tired of studying

- May I speak with you a moment? - Of course,

but wouldn't you prefer a game?

- Dr. Gonzalo, can you help me? - Me? With that?

Well, that family you spoke about,

- those cousins of yours in Colombia... - Yes, what about them?

They have factories, businesses, mines, they must need an engineer

What for?

They need educated people in those countries

Well now boy, what are you trying to tell me?

Fresh news gentlemen,

the game draws to a close for the killer, as Mr. Emerson would say

There's a picture there of the strangler done from the watchman's description

- What do you want? - Where's Monica?

Monica is working, son

You have to help me Monica, you have to help me,

you said you'd run away with me

Calm down Julio, of course I'll go with you

No, you won't come. You're like all of them, you want to trick me

Don't be crazy, why would I trick you?

I love you and I'll do what you say

- You'll come with me? - I'll go wherever you want, don't worry

Listen Julio, you have no reason to worry, you have me

We'll leave, away, far away

Yes, of course, far away from here,

wherever you want my love,

but don't worry

Now go. Leave through there

- You gave me quite a scare son - Forgive me ma'am

- I ironed your shirt and I was fixing this - I'm sorry to be a bother

It's not bother, it's a pleasure.

I love having guests as clean and well educated as yourself

If you knew what we have to endure in this business

Look at poor Theresa. Who would have imagined?

Anyway son, that's life, everything's a worry

If you're not too busy I'd like to talk a bit, could we?

- As you wish - You see, I work so much,

worrying all day about how this business is going,

and to look after you well

And then there's Monica,

you don't know how much work a daughter is,

Monica is still a girl. It's been so much work to bring her up

Just look. I became a widow very young with a babe in arms,

she's the only thing I have in the world, her

You shouldn't worry about Monica,

- she knows how to take care of herself - That's exactly what worries me most,

her independence She doesn't need me like before,

and I'm going to be left alone.

You don't know how frightening loneliness is

Of course I know

No, you're still young. I'm young too,

though a daughter like Monica ages one before their time

Don't you understand? All of a sudden everything hits you,

the children grow up and you're left alone, completely alone,

I don't want this to happen to me, you know?

Come, don't be a child

Help! Help!

It's the killer!

I think it was around here, Mr. Enrique

Do you think my son is..?

- Is the owner here? - What do you want?

Please, it's very urgent, we need to talk to the owner

Yes, yes. One moment

Are you the owner of the hostel? I'm a private detective, Julio's father

He tried to kill me! He pulled out a wire!

Alright, you know what you have to do

Yes? Hello Julio

Yes, of course you woke us up, along with everyone else

- I'm very sorry - It doesn't matter

It's him, he wants to speak to Monica

Call her, but don't put her on until we've left

Let's go

- Listen, can I- - No, leave it to us,

the girl will take us to where he is. Please

- Julio - I couldn't call you sooner,

forgive me

Don't worry

Yes

I know

Alright Very well

Why did you run away again? Everyone was there, your father-

My father? What? Did you see him?

He showed up at the hostel, I don't know how

What did he say? What did my father say?

I don't know, it was all very confusing. He spoke to me, he was desperate

What did he think of me? Does he know?

- He just said he needed to find you - No, not now,

I don't want him to see me like this, for him to think-

- What did you do Julio? - Nothing, I haven't done anything,

- or are you going to hound me too? - No Julio, please, trust me,

tell me everything. Are you sick?

Yes, like that, cry my love, don't worry about anything

I'm with you and you can tell me anything

- Please, let me in! - Please ma'am

- Let me in, my daughter's in danger! - Calm down, calm down

He has my daughter Monica, he's going to kill her!

Please,get into the car

Be very careful, he wanted to kill me. Be careful
