The Secret in Their Eyes Page #2

Synopsis: In 1999, retired Argentinian federal justice agent Benjamín Espósito is writing a novel, using an old closed case as the source material. That case is the brutal rape and murder of Liliana Coloto. In addition to seeing the extreme grief of the victim's husband Ricardo Morales, Benjamín, his assistant Pablo Sandoval, and newly hired department chief Irene Menéndez-Hastings were personally affected by the case as Benjamín and Pablo tracked the killer, hence the reason why the unsatisfactory ending to the case has always bothered him. Despite the department already having two other suspects, Benjamín and Pablo ultimately were certain that a man named Isidoro Gómez is the real killer. Although he is aware that historical accuracy is not paramount for the novel, the process of revisiting the case is more an issue of closure for him. He tries to speak to the key players in the case, most specifically Irene, who still works in the justice department and who he has always been attracted to but

screwing it all the time

and we must clean up their sh*t

like that, i dont have one

i have two:
judge and colleague from the 18th

i dont know if he's a jerk, a mother f***er...

or a clever combination of the two

this was his cause, thats why i ask you

if you can, talk with the judge, explain to him that...

-Liliana Colotto. 23 years old, teacher

married since the beginning of the year

to Ricardo Morales, from National Bank

-the old woman says that she didn't see anyone.

the two workers hadn't shown up for days

-sure about that?

-she said she hadn't seen them

-im going to see the husband at work

-im going with you

-Ricardo Morales?

-yes, that's me

-Inspector Baez, federal police

-somebody else had keys for your house?

Have you seen any strangers around recently?

A neighbour told us that you came home

every midday. Isn't that far to go?

sorry, i didnt understand

-we had a habit, to watch The Three Stooges together

at midday. She had so much fun...with them

-well, you will have to come with us

to the morgue. We'll try to make things fast

-che, whats the problem with the "a"?

please, take it away from here

-but where do i leave it?

-i dont know, but i cant even look at it

-hey, Benja. tell me if you like it:

by this i state that, I, the judge in criminalistic

Dr Fortuna Lacalle, declare myself...

..completely insane and incapable of acting.

-No, no, no. That's not the way.

let's see

no, no, its like this: because of articles number

i state, big letters, that Raimundo Fortuna

Lacalle, is a crazy man

demented, in juridical meaning

as a delusional-minded case

therefore, unable to face acts

of civil life

-how are you Doctor?

Do we have papers for today?

-ah, yes, doctor, the case of

Nicolosi its what we have

-Not much, Dr

just some citations to witnesses

-yes, sorry, one last file

-ok, thank you

-how are you doctor?

-how are you? -Benjamin

-che, Benjamin. so you can see

the good will of the 18th

remember the other day you were

a bit mad with us?

here you are, case is solved. It was 2 workers

who were in dept 3, and killed her

they are already in jail in the 25th

when the judge wants it, you can bring them

-wait, wait, wait. which workers?

-i tell you:
Jacinto Caceres, from Bolivia, 35

Juan Robles, 34

at least, this one is from Argentina

-you really amaze me, from now on

i will give you all the difficult cases

-please, doctor. i always say

better to help than fight

-Exposito, how are you?

-Romano told you i was coming?

-yes, i was sending a report to the judge

I'll send you the prisioners tomorrow

-open it, come on

-i ll send them to the judge
