01x04 - It's always going to be your home

MANSILLA: Life puts a whole world

of possibilities before us.

What piece to move.

What will happen ten moves ahead.

The key is adapting

to whom I have in front of me.

The only thing that changes

is us and the person

who's on the other side of the board.

Their moves will be different

from any other person.

I can only adapt

if I'm willing to get to know them,

and finally, understand them.

(CHUCKLES)

(SNIFFLES)

(LAUGHS)

(ALL APPLAUDING)

Wonderful game, little lady.

(CHUCKLES) Congratulations.

I hope you're very happy

with your new family, Cami.

This will always be your home, you know?

LAURA: Good evening.

I need to know

if Hernán Hontou is staying here.

- Are you a cop?

- No, I'm his mother.

I don't think he's here.

- May I come in?

- RECEPTIONIST: No, I can't let you in.

But, if you want,

you can leave a message here.

I'll give it to him later.

I'll come back later.

Okay.

LEMOS INSTITUTE

OUR MISSION IS FOR CHILDREN

CECILIA: Is this the stamp you use?

EVIDENCE

Yes, that's the one.

Can you tell us if any of these titles

are missing from the library?

LIBRARIAN: I can check.

- PABLO: Please.

- Let's see.

LIBRARIAN: Borrowed in 2019.

Yes, by the same person. A resident.

Evidently, he never returned them.

Do you have a name?

Yes. Santana. Dante Santana.

(BELL RINGING)

(MANSILLA SIGHS)

Here, we intend to be a provisional step

in the lives of the kids,

until they settle in with a family, hmm?

But, in the case of Dante,

that wasn't possible.

I guess I was the closest thing

to a father he ever had.

Do you recognize him?

No. I don't know.

Dante never wore glasses.

But I haven't seen him in years.

It's very ambiguous.

Very generic.

No, I'm sorry, but I'm not sure.

CECILIA: Can we see his files?

MANSILLA: The documents of each resident

are transferred to the ministry

every year. Nothing's left in here.

CECILIA: Any idea

of where we can find him?

MANSILLA: He graduated when he was 18.

Once they graduate, we lose track of them.

Any family members?

Yes. His father left him here.

Cipriano Santana.

He was a newborn baby.

Did you try to reunite them?

Of course. We always try.

It didn't work.

You know,

forgiveness isn't easy in these cases.

There's almost always

something broken in these kids,

and lots to heal.

That's him.

Yes. How did you know?

He was five years old there.

And who is this kid?

MANSILLA: Ernesto, Dante's only friend.

We used to call them "Siamese twins,"

because they were always together.

At 14, Ernesto

left the institution, and

Dante, poor kid, he struggled a lot.

You know? Friends, sometimes,

are our real family.

OFFICER: f*ck. We should put

CECILIA: What do you have?

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

Rouviot.

He left this for us.

"Welcome to my house. Come freely.

"Go safely; and leave something

of the happiness you bring!"

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

The Minotaur.

We're in his labyrinth.

SOFÍA: He came to get a tattoo.

CECILIA: When?

I don't know. Three months ago?

- What did he get?

- A tree.

He brought the design,

but it was too detailed,

so it took me

like three sessions to finish it.

He's incredibly meticulous.

He paid and left? Never saw him again?

No, he owed me money.

That's why I told him to call me.

Meticulous in what way?

In that he knew exactly what he wanted.

He was on my back so I would do it

exactly the way he wanted it.

And he had studied.

He knew about inks, needles.

He was like an expert.

In all the time you shared,

what impression

do you think you made on him?

What?

PABLO: A meticulous, obsessive,

detail-oriented man,

what might he think

about someone like you?

Someone like me?

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

What, you think he respects you?

Or did he use you?

SOFÍA: No.

You don't know how it is.

You don't know him.

We connected on a special level.

I told him things about my life

- that I never--

- CECILIA: In just three sessions?

SOFÍA: No.

We kept seeing each other for a while.

CECILIA: You were lovers.

No. It was different.

And Hernán?

Hernán and I weren't okay.

I needed to vent, and Dante was there.

I told him about our life.

I let him come into our house.

I introduced them myself.

(CRIES)

Sofía, we need you to tell us where he is.

I don't know where he is. I don't know.

I called him, but he won't answer.

He disappeared.

(RAT SQUEAKING)

(INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

More pieces from Dante's head.

They were in his room.

Check those when you can.

"You can blast my other passions,

but revenge remains."

- Melodramatic.

- Frankenstein.

Who does Dante want to take revenge on?

People who f*cked up his life?

And who f*cked up Frankenstein's life?

The real monster, his creator.

Serial K*llers are

profoundly self-centered.

Everything has to do with their belief,

their fetishes, their biography.

He's a monster taking revenge

on another monster.

And who are these monsters?

Everyone has a sinister side.

Some hide it better than others.

Is that why you specialized

in detecting them?

So you wouldn't overlook them again?

You're right.

Víctor Cardozo hid it well.

He didn't have any records.

It was a confusing episode.

In fact, the victim herself denied it.

The one who reported him

was her father, Andrés Urioste.

The judge requested

a psychological profile

to confirm his sentence.

That's when I came in,

fresh out of college.

In two sessions, the guy convinced me.

He made me believe

he wasn't a danger to society.

The sentence was lenient.

He left prison,

went to find Lucía,

and shot her five times.

He disappeared after that.

That doesn't make you a monster.

No.

No, my monstruous side is psychoanalysis.

(CHUCKLES)

- That's why you went to Spain?

- I didn't have anything left here.

Look who's being melodramatic now.

What? Did someone

break your heart, Rouviot?

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

You could be a psychoanalyst.

Let's pretend I am. Tell me.

No.

- No, you can't be my therapist. No.

- CECILIA: Why not?

Do you know what erotic transference is?

(SCOFFS)

I'm sorry. I was too straightforward.

(SIGHS)

CECILIA: A few years ago,

when I first joined the force,

I was assigned a patrol partner.

We were together all day,

responding to calls.

Until one day, we fell in love.

We fell. Hard.

But a romance between partners

is not recommended,

so we kept it a secret.

My father wouldn't accept it.

One day, we had a 10-13, an episode

of domestic violence in a building,

a lovers' quarrel.

When we arrested the guy

and were getting him in the car,

the woman came out of nowhere

and started sh**ting.

Mauro threw himself to cover me.

He took one of those shots,

a shot that was meant for me.

Did he die instantly?

(SIGHS)

If you ask him on a bad day,

he will say yes, but no.

It shattered one of his vertebrae

and he was paralyzed from the chest down.

- (EXHALES)

- He's adjusting.

PABLO: Mmm-hmm.

We're adjusting.

(CHUCKLES DRYLY)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

What's up, Little Rooster?

I was looking for you.

Tell me.

I need a g*n.

A g*n?

What do you want a g*n for?

There's a guy threatening me.

How is he threatening you?

He broke into my house.

He's leaving messages.

Doesn't matter, Lucas.

He's threatening me.

- (INDISTINCT CLAMOR)

- Will you help me or not?

COACH: Come. Let's go, we're leaving.

Let's play.

OLMOS: I get her on Saturdays, and she

stays the whole weekend with me.

- I make her schnitzels, we watch movies.

- CECILIA: Mmm.

OLMOS: She combs my hair,

puts makeup on me.

I let her do whatever she wants.

(CECILIA CLAPS)

- How old is she now?

- Five years old.

- I look forward to Saturdays.

- (DOG BARKS DISTANTLY)

Look, my time with my granddaughter

is the difference between being alive

and a living death.

It's the counterweight to all this sh*t.

Without a counterweight,

we in this workforce

would be floating in sh*t.

And it's good advice for you,

as you're starting.

Get a counterweight.

If not, you'll age before aging.

Remember my words.

What do you want?

- Cipriano Santana?

- CIPRIANO: Yes.

No, I didn't even raise him.

With everything that happened

His mother died when he was born.

I was a gardener.

I worked in some orchards in the area.

- Your wife too?

- CIPRIANO: She was a cleaner.

The day everything happened,

she requested the day off

because she was feeling unwell.

I went to work.

How could I have imagined

When I came back, I found her.

(BABY CRYING)

You decided to give him up that same day?

What was I supposed to do with a kid?

I couldn't handle anything.

I handle her, couldn't handle myself.

You never saw him again?

No, never.

MARIO: Next time, come in working hours.

You put me in a tight spot.

- Yes, I know. Sorry.

- It's there.

- Thanks, Mario.

- Okay.
