Original subtitles

Rain falls heavily in the mountainous region of Rio,

and it won't stop this Wednesday,

according to what Mauricio Andrade has informed.

The Control Center Chief gave a warning.

Since the floor is really wet, there may be more landslides.

We'd informed you earlier that there were two dead people.

Now there are 18 victims.

Rio's Civil Defense...

So they can't talk to one another.

At least one officer or one agent must check on them.

Nobody can move without authorization.

I'll keep all keys and phones with me.

And nobody should talk to the press.

There should be no leakage. It's a confidential case.

Right.

We arrived, and he was already dead on the floor.

The shower was still running, and there was a bloodbath.

The guy was standing there, speechless, and holding a knife.

Who sent the message?

I did.

Did you have a nice trip?

What are you doing here?

The same thing that you do.

André Carvalhal.

Jose Eduardo.

My ex-husband.

I'm here to help.

There was a landslide at the main road, nobody can come or leave this residence.

Are we isolated?

Positive.

Want to check the crime scene?

SCENES OF A CRIME

The victim is Rogério Lenzi.

The owner of Lenzi S.A., they built the Rio-Niterói bridge.

I know that, André.

Did you close the tap?

I did. When I arrived, it wasn't enclosed anymore,

the MPs came in to take the guy away.

This knife may be the cause of death.

Any hints of a break-in, armed robbery?

Is there anything missing,

maybe jewels, personal objects, works of art?

Nothing.

But this will cheer you up.

I've inspected the house

and I've found his last medical report.

In the waste bin, all torn up.

A death sentence, given his age.

A brain tumor.

Why would anyone kill someone who was going to die anyway?

At the time there were Igor Lenzi,

the old man's adoptive son, a soccer player, right winger,

he's really good.

He played for a small team

and attracted the attention of a club in Spain that's after him.

There was Marcela too.

Care for a drink?

She's Igor's girlfriend and she studies nursing.

She was born in a poor community from this area.

She's at her seventh month of pregnancy.

They have been together since their adolescence.

I think they're engaged.

She's simple and she comes from humble origins.

The usual stuff.

The blonde-haired woman is Maria Eugênia Lenzi,

center wing representative, Rogério Lenzi's daughter.

Yes, herself.

She arrived after the body was found.

For the time being, she's not a suspect.

She's allowed us to work at the library

and to make use of the food that is in the fridge.

What about the clerks?

They were sent away.

Nobody else came in?

Rogério Lenzi received a visitor yesterday,

and listen, you'll love this.

It was general Mateus Alvarenga.

In this residence.

Is he a suspect?

I did some digging, and the general knows Lenzi since the seventies.

They gathered to play cards sometimes.

They were close.

Would you question a general, also former Secretary of Security?

If there's no choice, yes.

Who called the police?

Oliver Aubrey.

A neighbor and a friend of the family. And also a writer.

Not precisely a best-selling author.

He's been at a mental hospital twice.

He reported Rogério and Igor's quarrel.

So he was here?

No, at his house across the street.

The MPs arrived when the whole fucking thing was over.

With the body on the floor.

And the guy beside it, holding the murder weapon.

It seems there won't be much to do over here, right?

May I know when will you take

that criminal of Igor away from my dad's house?

I don't want to look at that murderer's face anymore.

The case will be closed real soon.

The case will be closed once it is solved.

And everybody is innocent until proven guilty.

Innocent?

It's the law, representative.

If you wish to cooperate

and give us access to phones and computers,

it would be really helpful.

No.

No?

No.

I have privileges.

We know your rights, representative.

But there was a homicide here.

It's not about money for lunch time.

Now as officers, we have the right to confiscate.

Please.

Take electronic devices together with the representative.

Igor was found holding the murder weapon.

He didn't do or say anything in his defense.

That means he was in shock, not that he's guilty.

He is guilty.

I must push him.

Push him?

He has a record.

-What for? -Theft.

Come on, André.

You have a record, but you're not a killer.

I have a record.

You know I'm innocent.

I do?

This case is important, and I'm being pressured.

We'll talk to everybody, but there will be no pushing.

The press is watching closely.

Waiting for me to hesitate.

Your hair behind your shoulders, please.

Turn and look at me.

Put your clothes in here.

No talking, pal.

You can't talk to each other.

May I go to the bathroom?

Use the table with the flowers.

Hi, it's me. Save this number.

The cops took my phone, but Alvarenga got this one for me.

Look, are they authorized to check phones?

Is it legally permitted?

Okay.

I got it.

What?

No, I didn't hear you.

No, I love you too.

Give this number to Rita. Right.

If you need to call me, send a message here.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Barbara Junqueira, Police Inspector.

I'm in charge of this case.

The road was closed due to a landslide,

so you won't be taken to the police station.

But we'll talk to everybody here.

You're not guilty, you're all witnesses.

We want to find out the truth.

Please turn that thing off.

Sorry.

I came here to help. I live across the street.

You've called the police, so thank you for your help.

We know where you live.

If we need you, we'll be at your doorstep.

Thank you. Good evening.

Igor, come with me.

We'll talk, that's all.

Mr. Igor Santos Souza,

25 years old,

professional athlete, soccer player...

My fiancée is pregnant.

If you touch her,

I'll call all the papers.

And don't call me "sir."

Igor, let's start over.

Okay?

André, take off his handcuffs.

Nobody will touch Marcela.

You shouldn't worry.

A black guy shouldn't worry?

I am the black guy here.

This is a different business.

Can't Marcela be here?

No.

I must talk to her.

You can't.

If witnesses communicate, they may agree on lying.

Well, I won't lie.

Then let's get this over with.

You quarreled with the old man.

Everybody heard you.

A horrible fight.

And you were found at the bathroom holding a knife.

Motive,

murder weapon, no alibi.

Will you tell the truth

or do you want me to get it out of you?

André, come with me, please.

Give me five minutes with him,

and I'll force him to confess, want to bet?

This is not a game.

Igor is a famous soccer player.

He's Rogério Lenzi's son.

If you touch him

or leave any bruise on him, he'll go to a paper and make it public.

What do you think I'll do to him?

Who do you think I am?

You covered your colleagues.

You talk like a prosecutor or a judge.

Real life is not like that.

What if I'd reported you afterwards?

Afterwards, André.

"If I'd reported you afterwards?"

I wouldn't have returned.

Excuse me.

Lenzi's device.

He didn't do any phone calls.

He used an app for messages. It's very difficult to hack it.

It's weird.

Politicians and businessmen started using it

after Vaza Jato scandal.

The old man was hiding secrets.

The police can confiscate stuff,

but not interfere.

Cell phones must be sealed.

No order, no interfering with devices.

Particularly with mine, I'm a federal representative.

It contains top secret information.

I see.

But I still can get an order.

Well, try.

Do as she says. Seal it.

We'll go on with the case.

We can always resort to other sources.

Igor, I want to make this clear.

You're not being accused of anything.

We just want to know what happened.

I came here to tell Dad Marcela was pregnant.

After seven months?

We hadn't been on speaking terms for almost a year.

ONE YEAR

I woke up in the middle of the night.

He was in the bathroom.

It was weird, the water was running,

and he'd been in there for a while.

I knocked on the door, no answer.

I thought he might not be feeling well.

When I opened the door,

he was on the floor.

What about the quarrel your neighbor had heard?

It was about my contract with Spain, he thought it was a bad deal.

I would be going in two weeks.

I mean, I will go.

You didn't still sign.

Just a regular discussion.

I came home, told him about it, he talked shit. Quite normal.

That's not normal.

Okay, you quarreled with your dad. And?

I went for a beer with Marcela. To cool off.

How many beers did you drink, man?

I didn't count them.

Two, three, nine, ten...?

Have you ever gone for a beer?

-Did she also drink? -No.

You've just said you and Marcela had drunk.

It's a manner of speaking. I drank.

So only you got drunk with what, nine, ten beers?

I drank some beers.

-I didn't count them. -But there was a loser.

What did you do?

Was it satisfactory or did you leave it all?

We got into the car and all, but it started to rain heavily.

Marcela was worried about the baby.

Because you were drunk.

We got back, and I heard the shower. That's all.

It's funny.

You were out at the same time somebody else broke into the house,

killed your dad

and left.

How convenient, right?

We'll take a look at the residence's cameras.

Do you remember seeing or hearing anything out of the ordinary

when you got back?

What about your dad's health, Igor?

Well, everything was fine.

He had a pain in his back, and he was also a bit weak,

but all in all, he was fine.

He had cancer.

In his brain.

Didn't you know?

He had only a few months left.

It's been raining non-stop at Teresópolis.

After three days of rain, the town is in a state of alert.

Landslides,

two dead and many missing people.

Civil Defense asks the people to pay attention...

MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE TERESÓPOLIS TRAGEDY

They should stay safe at home.

This is one more tragedy...

Did you get on well with your dad when you were a child?

When I was adopted, he was an elderly man.

He neither played with me nor made an effort to do it.

I was in the streets.

Doing what?

Playing soccer.

Didn't he like soccer?

He liked to give orders

and moral lessons quite a lot.

Did you give him a reason to do that?

You went to jail, right?

When I was a youngster.

I hanged out with these guys,

they were the leaders and decided to steal a car,

the police was passing by,

and we were arrested.

It was stupid.

Wrong timing.

Wrong people.

Is it a crime to be friends with a thief?

But you like them, you have a relationship with them.

We're okay.

What about your dad?

Did you like him?

I need to get a better understanding of your dad.

How did he behave, what were his thoughts?

I want to find his killer and to understand why.

Don't you want to understand why?

He went mad about everything.

He was so inflexible.

He wanted things his way. Always.

Always, always.

He said that I'd never be important, that I had to study,

that I was wasting my life.

That I was a circus attraction.

And I was already a professional athlete.

I was a starter in the team.

I work hard, man.

There are bums who'd do anything for money,

while I'm making honest, fair money.

I'm doing my part.

Wasn't it fair for your dad?

It was dirty money for him.

Dirty money?

He was a cranky guy.

Too cranky.

He didn't smile.

I was shortlisted to play, and told him about it. No reaction.

I was starter at the team. No reaction.

I shot a goal. No reaction.

I told him about my child.

It was different.

He went red.

You wanted to be like him, you even use his name, Lenzi.

Though he didn't legally adopt you.

Talent alone does not open doors.

The battery.

DAD = LENZI

You know what, Igor?

When I told my parents I wanted to be a policewoman,

my dad turned and said,

"Honey, you're choosing the worst career ever."

Your mind will be a mess,

"you'll have a bad salary and you could die at work."

Can you believe my own dad said that?

Here's the socket.

What about your mom?

She was not like Lenzi.

Not like my dad.

"Was," Igor?

Igor?

What's in your mind?

What's in your mind?

Marcela.

Our child.

Do you have children?

Don't change the subject.

Focus on yourself.

You love Marcela very much, right?

More than anything else in life.

I'd do anything for her.

Anything?

Did your father like your fiancée, Igor?

I don't know.

You don't know?

He was worried.

-About what? -Money.

That was all he cared about. And gold diggers who faked pregnancy.

But Marcela doesn't...

You told him you'd become a dad, and he simply called her gold digger?

Exactly.

He thought it was dirty money,

but it was yours and it's quite a big sum.

It was rude, coming from your own dad.

Your adoptive father against your engagement

because for him, your girl was an opportunist.

Not my words, your father's.

Wasn't it what he thought?

Marcela is different.

Doesn't she want your money?

She loves me, truly loves me.

You said a bum may do anything for money.

-She's an angel! -And your dad?

Sad, bitter, mad...

-Did you kill your dad? -No.

-Are you sure? -I am!

What does that note of yours say?

The note you have in your pocket, Igor.

Come on.

Give me that note.

"Don't say anything."

-Who was it, Marcela? -Leave her out.

-Was it Marcela? -Leave her out of this!

May I get a glass of water from the kitchen?

Yes.

-Okay. -Don't take long.

-Who killed Lenzi? -No idea.

-Who killed your dad? -No idea!

-Did you kill him? -No idea!

-Did you kill your dad? -No idea!

You have no idea? You killed him or what?

-I want to talk to Marcela! -Talk to me, fuck!

-Trying to run away? -Let him go.

Trying to run away?

Let me see her!

I could arrest you for contempt.

Stop! Stop!

-Let him go! -Are you calm?

I am!

Let him go, André!

You should be handcuffed!

There's power outside.

-Where's Marcela? -Getting some water.

All alone? Damn!

I went with her.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Come inside.

I've already been there, pal.

I know when people want to open their fucking mouths.

You have the same expression.

The same way of looking at things.

The same smell of fear.

Did Marcela give you this?

What didn't she want you to say?

I can ask her.

I'd rather you told me.

You were drunk.

You took the knife from the kitchen

while your dad was taking a shower.

When he got out of the tub,

you stabbed him really deep.

He fell,

and you stabbed him in the back.

You tried to run away, but you'd left the knife behind,

and it had your fingerprints.

You came back and took the knife,

then the police arrived, that's what happened, right?

What was it like stabbing the knife in the old man's back?

The only ones at home were you, your girl and the old man.

Confess, man.

You cut the power off.

You gave him a note.

Are you trying to tell me something?

Confess. Who knows? You may get a sentence reduction.

That old jerk

that said your girl was a whore!

Was that why you killed him? Confess.

I didn't kill my dad.

Now you call him "dad?"

Wasn't him "Lenzi?"

I'd never let him hurt her, but I did not kill my dad!

Hurt her?

Lenzi sexually abused your wife

in front of you.

That was the reason, Igor?

That's why you killed him, right?

Confess!

André!

Open the door, André!

Marcela confessed.
