Santo Vs The Strangler

Listen, your duty as scenery director is to be here before the show starts

I'm sorry Claudia, it won't happen again, forgive me

- If you need me, I'll be in my office - Alright

What's wrong Odette, why are you so nervous?

It's my last night here, I don't want to be killed by the Strangler

Ready Ms. Irene?

Ten minutes Ms. Laura

Alright. Hurry up

What are you waiting for?

You know that if it weren't for her I'd be the star of the show

- You were marvellous Laura - Like always

Thank you

Will you come back with me or will Javier be accompanying you?

Forgive me, but I promised Javier I'd have dinner with him tonight

- Fine - Let me explain!

It's useless Irene, she doesn't like me

Don't be silly, I'll go talk to her

Wait, I have a present for you

- For me? - Yes, look

It's lovely. Thank you

Would the lady like anything else?

No, nothing more, thank you

Alright. Excuse me

Tell forensics to send me the results of the autopsy as soon as possible

Right away sir

Inspector Villegas, homicide

Some of you already know me

You say you surprised this man when he tried to kill Ms. Montez

Yes sir, I saw him pointing a gun at her

He lies! I've never used a weapon

- Call the registry - It's true inspector, we found nothing

What happened after that?

I don't know sir,

We didn't see him again until after Ms. Odette was killed

Where were you during that time?

I went to have a cup of coffee,

but I suppose I should have asked for permission, right?

You left the theatre to hide the weapon

We can't prove it, but if you don't get rid of the insolent tone -

I'll have to arrest you as a suspect

Now I remember who you are, you're a professional wrestler

What are you doing working in this theatre as a stagehand?

A person works where he can, right?

I don't think that's a crime

This man is in love with that woman

who hates Ms. Laura and all of her colleagues

- That's no business of yours! - Go on

Everyone knows she wants to be the star of the show

and Marcos would do anything for her

Yes!

It's true I want to be the star

because I'm young and beautiful,

quite a bit more than those

Inspector, don't you think we've listened to enough disrespect?

The best thing would be for my sister and I to leave the troupe

which seems to be what the murderer wants

I ask you to wait a bit ladies

My interrogation still hasn't ended

Sit

That's it, you can go

And us?

And you, where were you when the crime occurred?

I was in my office Inspector

Julian Fiorelli, scenery director

You were seen in a heated argument with Odette

moments before she was killed

Yes Inspector,

but what they didn't tell you is that I habitually yell at the artists,

even the stars

Then you hate them?

Yes, I hate them all,

because of their vanity

This automatically makes you a suspect

Of course,

but to prove that I killed Odette,

that's another matter Inspector

And you Miss, did you see anyone?

Maybe someone who was fleeing?

No Inspector, I was in the dressing room with my sister -

when I heard that girl scream

And you didn't see anyone either?

No Inspector

I did!

Well, speak up, who did you see?

Well, I didn't see anyone, but...

But what?

I don't know. . , but, when I was in the dressing room with my sister

I had the impression that there was someone else there

Probably a spirit, right?

Leave her alone Inspector, can't you see she's nervous?

If you're not able to find the murderer I'll do it myself

Miss, for you and your sister's sake, I suggest you leave the troupe

Thank you Inspector,

but my sister and I will stay here

But you just said it a moment ago

Yes, but we won't let anyone intimidate us

Listen Inspector,

if you have something against us then go ahead and arrest us or

let us go free!

Leave

Us too?

Everyone can go

I'll have the theatre shut down

But that would mean my ruin Inspector

Don't worry Claudia,

your lawyers could argue in your defence,

right Mr. Villegas?

The Strangler's Crimes Remain Unsolved!

The Strangler's Crimes Remain Unsolved!

Santo, I'm sure more crimes will be committed at the variety theatre

Why are you so sure Inspector?

According to my investigations,

we're dealing with a maniac who hates theatre actresses

I might need your help once again to solve this mystery

Inspector, you know I'm always at the service of good and justice

JB-3 calling Santo, JB-3 calling Santo

Santo responding to JB-3, go on

I need to see you urgently Santo

Understood

What have you learned about the Strangler Inspector?

He's a maniac Santo, a madman,

however he's a man of uncommon intellect

He's shown a diabolic genius, committing crimes and leaving no clue

and on top of that he has a morbid sense of humour

He likes to let his victims know of their impending death

by sending them a freshly cut gardenia

Inspector, this flower has two meanings -

Love and death

This can be a clue

But we don't have the time to find it,

the business' lawyers have mounted a defence

and I'm certain the judge will order the theatre to be re-opened

before we can find out the Strangler's identity

I'll begin my investigations immediately

I'll be in contact with you through the usual means

I was forgetting something Santo,

that boy Javier has me worried, he's very impulsive,

and on top of risking his own life, he could endanger our investigation

Don't worry Inspector, I'll keep an eye on him

I'm afraid Javier, we should leave

You wanted to come, now deal with it

Wait for me Javier

Javier, I feel as if someone's here

Let's check the dressing rooms

Close the door

Don't make noise

Listen!

What?

Don't you hear that?

Quiet

Someone's here, let's leave

It must be a cat

Don't make me nervous, calm down

Listen, listen!

Who's there?

What are you doing here? Don't you know the theatre is closed?

And what are you doing here?

I've lived here for many years

My job is to take care of the theatre so no squatters or thieves come in

- Hold it - Get out of here!

If the police find out about this you'll be in trouble

Go on, get out!

Feck off!

Hello? Hello?

In the variety theatre’s alley,

underneath the garbage can

you will find a packet with 10 thousand pesos

It's yours -

in exchange for Santo's life

What? The wrestler?

Yes. The Man in the Silver Mask

You'll find him at midnight in the Cedar Woods

But if you fail, or try to trick me and take the money

I'll know where to find you

You'll pay with your life

- Well, who are you? - That's none of your business!

Do what I said, and don't try to trick me

Hello?

Do you want to know who the strangler is?

You'll find him at midnight in the Cedar Woods

Hello? Hello?

It wasn't a joke!

It's 10 thousand pesos!

Let's go

Be careful Santo, it might be an ambush

I'll go meet you immediately

Are you hurt Santo?

No Inspector, you got here just in time

Search them

This one's clean boss

It's 10 thousand pesos Santo,

the price paid for your life, I'm sure

Take them away

You better confess, who sent you to kill Santo?

I told you, I don't know

- I got a phone call - Yes, you said that already,

but someone must've given you the money. Who was it?

No one, my partners and I found it under a garbage can

How many times do I have to say it?

Hit the lights

Set him free

Please Inspector, if you let me go that man will kill me

I told you he threatened me on the phone,

he said if I don't kill Santo I'd pay with my life

Lock him up

I told you quite clearly I didn't want to see you again

I need to speak with you Lillianne

You had your chance at Laura and you blew it

I'll kill her tonight,

I have no reason to wait until they re-open the theatre

Now that everyone suspects us?

So what do you want me to do?

Nothing

You and I are through for good

Listen to me Lillianne,

Tomorrow evening I have a match against Santo -

The Man in the Silver Mask

How interesting

Don't you understand? No one's been able to beat him,

If I win I'll be famous, and I'll give you everything you want

Aren't you afraid of dying like the others?

A match with 2 of 3 falls with no time limit

In this corner, Jerry Muscles!

In this other, the invincible Man in the Silver Mask, Santo!

This is the second time there's been an attempt on your life Santo

because I'm sure that bullet was meant for you

I think it was the Strangler, he wants me dead at all costs

However, now I have a lead -

- and will soon have something important to tell you Inspector

I just hope it won't be too late

Claudia's lawyers won the case,

and the Strangler will try to commit more crimes

Hello

What are you doing here?

- Who are you? - I'm Milton

Milton who?

Don't you have parents?

Where do you live?

I don't have a home, I ran away from the orphanage

And what are you doing out at this time of night Milton?

I'm looking for a Dad, and now I've found him

And who's that?

- You - Me?

Well let's go home, I need to have a serious talk with you

You need to go back to the orphanage Milton

And you'll be able to choose the father you want

I don't want another father, he's my father

Tell me Milton, why did you choose him as a father?

Because he's a good person and loves children

Let's go Milton, it's time for you to sleep

Put it on Milton, I don't have anything else

I'll have to buy some more your size

How are you going to get out of this one Santo?

You heard him well, Milton's decided

You're going to keep him?

He can't be here all the time,

I'll put him in a good school and he'll spend the weekends with me

Where did you learn to sing Milton?

Nowhere, I just sing when I'm happy,

I know lots of songs

He can go far with that voice Santo

- Good night Milton - Good night Inspector

- See you later Santo - See you later Inspector

I've been up nights worrying that something might happen to you

But Laura, why have you changed your mind?

Didn't we agree we'd continue at the theatre?

You won't go to the theatre tonight!

But that would mean the end of my career!

Irene, I'm your older sister and you have to obey me!

Javier thinks I should keep working at the theatre,

even after we're married

But Irene, all I care about is your safety

Anyway, you're in as much danger as I am

and you haven't quit

I owe it to my audience!

I have just as much of a right to be successful as you do

It's just that you're jealous, yes

You're afraid I'll be as successful as you are

Forgive me, I didn't mean to offend you

Forgive me please

Don't let the idea that -

I'm jealous of you cross your mind

More than anyone else in the world, I want to see you triumph

You've convinced me Irene,

we'll stay at the theatre,

we can't let our public down

Where's Julian?

I forgot to tell you Inspector,

he called to say he was sick and wouldn't be here tonight

Call Julian Fiorelli to make sure he's at home

Very well sir

Julian Fiorelli isn't at home, no one is answering the phone

Send out an alert to have him arrested immediately

Very well

- Everything calm? - Yes, everything boss,

only, Ms. Lillianne is taking a long time coming out

Gather everyone at Claudia's office

Alright boss

My name is Milton...

I'm really annoying...

I ruin this film...

But I don't give a fuck...

With my big fat face...

I'm so annoying...

that both my parents killed themselves...

Just to block out my voice...

I'm a tubby little loser...

When I sing like this... .

I'm such a lumpy gobshite...

And I'm bursting for a piss. .

I don't care if you hate me...

Coz I think I'm great...

And if you don't like me. .

I'll get my dad Santo to fuck you up...

He'll suplex you straight to hospital...

And then I'll come along and sing at your bedside...

Coz my name is Milton...

I don't give a fuck!

What happened?

- Take him back to school immediately - But sir!

- Go on, take him - Come on boy

Come in

What happened?

Lillianne was murdered

Look who we have here!

Where were you?

Where did you find him?

Coming into the theatre

Another crime Mr. Villegas?

You said you were sick at home

I didn't feel like working tonight so I went out with a lady friend

She's waiting outside

Bring her in

Go on, come in!

Will you swear before a judge that you're with this man since sundown?

I don't think my private life is any judge's business

Now if Julian asked I'd be willing to swear it

As you can see Inspector

I have a perfect alibi,

isn't that so?

Let's go

Santo calling JB-3, it's urgent

Santo calling JB-3, it's urgent

Go on Santo, I hear you

I heard on the radio what happened at the theatre

I need to see you in my lab urgently

I'm on my way

We were right then

Yes Inspector, our deductions were correct

I'll order his arrest immediately

We know who the murderer is,

but proving it is another matter

We need to catch him red handed

He'll try to escape, we must stop him at all costs

He won't escape Inspector, it's an act of vengeance out of jealousy

and the criminal won't leave until he achieves his aim and kills Laura

Tomorrow during the show set our emergency plan into action

Very well Santo

I must inform you that this will be the last act

The authorities have ordered the permanent closure of the theatre

Inspector, instead of closing us down,

you should protect the lives of my artists

I'm sorry ma'am,

my department has given up on this case

We'll be back in 10 minutes

You know what to do in the mean time

Stay alert and be ready

Don't worry, as soon as I change we'll leave

I'll just head in to the dressing room

No, I don't want you to move from this spot or leave Javier's side

Are you alright Miss?

Yes, thank you

Our plan is panning out

Thank you for your cooperation Miss

Years ago there was an actor who was famous as a master of disguise,

perfectly imitating anyone’s voice and habits

He was also famous for his conquests of the women that admired him

Then one day, one of those women, in a fit of jealous rage

threw acid at his face, leaving it horribly deformed

Later, he killed that woman and the crime was never discovered

Driven mad by his disfigurement and desire for revenge,

he swore he'd kill as many theatre actresses as he could

The rest you already know

It's done,

all the exits are covered

We know who the Strangler is

He's in this office and won't be able to escape

Hold it! Back off!

Follow me!

Freeze!

Who is he Inspector?

He's a man...

a legend, rather, in the service of good and justice
