We need to get revenge

for your brother Daniel.

No!

Please!

Get away from the door!

I should have been

the father of these kids.

But I wasn't.

You chose wrong.

I didn't want it to come to this.

But you forced me.

POSSIBLE NEW VICTIM

OF THE BUTCHER DE REYNOSA

Hey, Dani.

I was thinking that, one of these days,

you should come with me to the club, man.

Maybe you'll meet a girl or

I mean, f*cking every now and then

will be good for you.

Actually, I'm pretty worried about you.

Bro, life isn't about staring

at your computer all day.

OK?

What's wrong?

[Daniel] I don't have evidence

but I'm sure,

they're following me.

Look, all these emotions

and all that adrenaline

are making you imagine things.

No, I'm not imagining things.

I don't live alone, man!

- If anything happens to my brother

- OK, how about this.

If you want out let me know.

I'll keep going.

But I won't put Poncho at risk, or me.

Do you think I could be a firefighter?

A firefighter?

Who the hell wants to be a firefighter?

Can you answer my question?

Depends how long your hose is.

You don't take anything seriously, man.

It's just a joke, bro.

Dani.

Seriously.

Of course I think

you could be a firefighter.

Between the two of us,

you're the one

who always reaches his goals.

Take a shower, you smell of alcohol.

Don't make that face,

I'm your big brother.

Why do you like saying that so much?

You're older by one minute.

One minute.

Dani, wait.

Hey, are you OK?

Need my help with anything?

See you soon.

Hello?

Yeah, now's a good time,

Poncho isn't around.

Heading to my car, why?

I'm on my way.

No, no one suspects anything.

No! I haven't said anything to my brother.

Leave Poncho out of all this.

That was the deal.

- Dani.

- I have to go.

Bro.

I'm sorry, but I can't leave it alone.

I feel like you weren't telling

the truth in there, man.

What's wrong?

So, now you can read my mind?

We're twins, but not identical twins.

If something was going on,

you'd tell me, right?

I'll tell you tonight.

What is it, Dani? Why won't you tell me?

Don't leave me like this.

See you tonight.

Plus, I want you to meet someone.

A girl?

Bro.

Nice!

Where did you meet her?

And don't tell me online, man.

That would be the last straw.

Who is this?

MORGUE

[officer] Are you ready?

Yes.

[sobs]

[officer] Is this your brother?

[sighs]

Hold on.

- Excuse me?

- Want to know how your brother died?

Follow me.

I don't know what you want.

I don't have time for this.

- I have to talk to the police.

- No.

I'm the only person who can give you

the answers the cops won't give you.

Your brother was m*rder*d

and the police looks into

the family members as the first suspects.

So come with me.

What?

Come with me. Let's go, let's go.

I'm a journalist.

My name is Elías Solórzano.

I worked with your brother Daniel

at Red Global.

I wanted to write a story

on the 25 years

since the Butcher of Reynosa.

It was a dark case,

in the 90's.

This crazy guy was intent

on k*lling all over the place.

Yeah, but what does all this

have to do with my brother?

Everything.

I asked him to help me look

into a file at the DA's office.

One of my sources tipped me off.

He said I might be able

to get more information

at a fire station in Cuauhtémoc.

It's called

the Raúl Padilla Arellano Fire Station.

- Do you know it?

- No.

According to my source,

the commanding officer of the station

is somehow involved in the case.

I asked Daniel to talk with the suspect,

Artemio Román.

That's his name.

Román and Ricardo knew each other

since they were young.

They were very close friends.

Do you swear

that Daniel never told you

about any of this?

His mission was to talk to him,

to see if somehow

he could bring up the crimes

of the Butcher of Reynosa.

That would be our scoop,

for the anniversary of the case.

But

unfortunately

Daniel

[Daniel] I'm being followed.

I'm not imagining things.

Every time I enter or leave my house,

there's a car outside,

with the lights off.

And it's the same f*cking car every day.

Your brother was at the station yesterday,

investigating Artemio Román.

Look, he took some pictures.

We were going to meet, but he

didn't make it.

I think the Butcher of Reynosa

or someone who knows him

is behind your brother's death.

This as*h*le, wherever he is,

felt threatened.

And I unwillingly exposed your brother

and put him in danger.

I know a lot about you.

I know that you and Daniel

grew up in an orphanage.

It wasn't by chance

that you were born in Reynosa

and that you were orphaned.

You have to know

how your mom died.

It isn't the story they told you.

[Ricardo] Where are you, Flor?

Daniel knew everything about your parents.

You don't know anything about my life.

- I never had any parents.

- Let go off me!

[groans]

Wait!

Everything I've told you is true.

I don't know who the hell you are.

And I don't understand all the sh*t

you've told me in there.

All I know is that my brother is dead

and the only people

who can help me are the police.

- The cops

- You're just wasting my time.

The police won't do anything.

They didn't do anything 20 years ago,

they won't do anything now.

Don't trust them.

I'm telling you this for a reason.

Now you have to help me

get to the bottom of all this.

If you want revenge for your brother,

become a firefighter.

Join that brigade.

Infiltrate.

Follow the orders of Artemio Román.

Remember, Artemio Román.

Investigate what that guy

has to do with all this.

Make him talk.

That was your brother's plan.

Your own family

is up to their necks in this.

Bye.

I have some ideas

to make them feel that joy.

What about a condolence card

from all of us living in the guesthouse?

We need to cheer them up,

Penélope, not put them to sleep.

I think a card

is a beautiful gesture, honey.

I can give them

There's actually only one recipient

for this blanket, Mom.

- Why?

What are you doing here?

- Do you know each other?

Were you following him or what?

- What? No, I wasn't.

- Why are you wandering around the station?

What do you want? What's your name?

- His name's Alfonso.
