CORTES:

Bye, Marina. Thanks, nice place!

Thanks.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah.

- Did you notice I tried to save you?

- Yes, I did. Thanks.

Will you tell me

what the f***'s going on?

Some other time? I've had a terrible day.

Sure.

[GATE OPENING]

[MARINA BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

Diabla.

[WHINES]

Hey, you.

[SIGHING]

CORTES [ON RECORDING]:

Marina, this is Detective Corts.

You must have a good reason

to stand up an investigating officer.

Now, I won't ask.

Instead, I demand that you come in

and talk to me tomorrow.

I'll be at Forensic Medical Services.

Look for me when you get there.

See you at 12:
30.

Don't call me. No excuses.

Fm not interested.

Please don't make me send

someone to pick you up.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

[DIABLA BARKING]

MAN:

Diabla.

Up, up!

Are you Marisa?

Marina.

I'm Bruno.

Sorry...

...I thought no one was here.

[DIABLA WHINES THEN BARKING]

What happened, Marisa?

Your dad suddenly felt sick.

It all happened so fast.

What were you doing?

Sleeping.

That's all?

You were with him and he died?

Just like that?

Puff?

We rushed to the hospital.

His body was bruised.

Why the f*** was his body bruised?

And his head injured.

He fell down the stairs

as we were going down.

That's why.

And those suitcases?

I was moving in.

Oh.

F***.

[DIABLA WHINING]

What will we do with you, Diabla?

Um...

Orlando gave her to me.

- I'm sorry.

- He gave you Diabla?

[DIABLA WHIMPERS]

F***ing hell.

Look...

...I slept next to Diabla...

...for years.

But I had to stop.

I didn't like the smell.

Did you know there are

two kinds of pet owners?

Those who have mammals

and those who prefer birds or reptiles.

We mammals have a neocortex...

...the most developed layer

of neural tissue...

...where emotions are generated.

That's where empathy...

...tenderness...

...and love are generated.

I don't see anyone with a lizard.

I don't get your analysis.

- What are you saying?

- I'm not saying anything.

Ah.

Did you get the operation?

You don't ask that.

Why not?

I don't know what you are.

I'm the same as you.

Ha, ha. Yeah, sure.

[SCOFFS]

[SIGHS]

Can we talk another time?

Wait, wait, wait.

I just need to know when

you're leaving this apartment.

When I find something,

I'll let you all know.

- How much time are we talking?

- A few weeks.

No, not a few weeks.

Tell me a date, or I'll kick you out.

Know what? Get out of my house.

This isn't your house.

[MARINA THUDS THEN PANTING]

Incredible.

My dad was crazy.

If you steal anything, I'll know.

MARINA:

Hey, Bruno!

My name is Marina.

Bye.
