The Secret in Their Eyes Page #5

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

why?

-because Liliana works for Counsellor Mendez

it was her who recommended him for the job

ah, it was her. he will be happy

-really? you think he will remember her?

-oh, yes. he liked her a lot

but then later she left, for Buenos Aires

I don't think they've seen each other since.

hello... hello

-if we find him, it's going to be a miracle,

big a**hole.

-poor guy, i would like to see you

in a similar situation

-no, you big a**hole. you should tell me

and keep it quiet

good morning, we are looking for

Isidoro Gomez

-whats up?

may i know who are you?

-Mike Hammer, a**hole

Did he come to work?

-no he didn't come

we have nothing to do with him

-please, just give me his address

-right away

-we know that Gomez had a phone call last night

he had paid the whole week

but he left anyway

i can search more, if you want

-i saw the same pictures

i should have found that out

-there's no way, Esposito.

that case has nothing, just smoke

if you think im going to embarrass

myself with my collegue from Chivilcoy

to enter in the house of an old woman

to search for some letters he might have written...

and..papa..please, Esposito

you are crazy

-you know what, Doctor

without this, we have nothing

-look, you gave enough trouble with

your charge on poor Romano

he's now who knows where

or maybe he is in Chivilcoy

why dont you check, he could help you

the truth is, i dont know what to do

Morales gets worse and worse everyday the

murderer knows we are after him

i have a judge is a stupid

irene..i want to kill her

and the only guy i trust

is a dumb drunk, an a**hole

i have something on my favour.

small, but something

today is 28th, it means that

dumb drunk still hasn't got his salary

the previous one..he drunk it

so, when the barman asks him for money, the

guy will face a dilemma

If he says he doesn't have any money

he goes to jail, he fights, a lot of problems

his wife definitely throw him out

or...

..he turns around, to his a**hole boss

that is me, and asks him to pay

that's it. The boss is an a**hole

but not that much of an a**hole

he will pay. Again

but he will ask a favour in return

and the dumb drunk will not say no

isnt it?

i have to pee

-hold it

The old woman will be out in any moment

- Too many inspectors movies. Napoleon Solo

Perry Mason... that's your problem

che, really, i have to pee

ah, motherf***er! I could sh*t on you!

-you f***ing scared me, a**hole

-me, to you? what are you doing here?

-i came to help

-you should've stayed outside,

in case the old woman comes back

-she's not coming

-how do you know?

-she is in the shop. She'll be there

a while, calm down

did you find something?
