Sin retorno Page #3

that if Matias were found guilty,

he might be sentenced.

To jail?

Yes.

We're talking about three years

and a half, maybe more.

Even five.

Is there no other way?

I've seen cases

where no witnessed turned up

and where the main evidence...

the vehicle...

disappeared.

If the case isn't solved in 5 years, a

statute of limitations comes into play.

Yes?

Hello. Excuse me.

I just wanted to ask...

-Did you see anything last Saturday?

-Saturday?

-Yes.

-Who is this?

I'm Victor Marchetti, the father

of the boy who was run over.

I'm trying to find out if

anybody saw anything or can help.

No, sorry.

We were asleep and didn't see

or hear anything.

Well, thanks anyway.

Er, excuse me...

Do all the "A" flats face the street?

Yes, and the "B"s too.

Good luck.

Thanks very much.

Stay close to me.

ROAD CLOSED:

What shall I do?

Pour some on the front

where the dent is.

I wish you luck.

It's such a shame.

-Thank you very much.

-A pleasure.

Mister!

You're the father of

the kid with the bike?

Yes.

Someone at the news stand said

you were asking questions.

I've been wanting to talk to you

but I didn't know where you were.

Did you see something?

No, but that night I was crossing

the road and there was a car...

that almost ran me over.

They were racing down the street.

I don't know if it helps.

But it could have been

around that time.

-Did you see the number plate?

-Part of it.

The times we've reported things

like that but they never do anything.

-What about the make or the colour?

-The make, yes.

Go to your room.

Go to your room, Matias.

How can I help?

I'm Matias's mother.

-Laura Brukman?

-Yes.

Mauricio Marzotta, from

the insurance company.

As I said downstairs, we have

to ask Matias some questions.

Matias has had a very bad time with all

this and you already have his statement.

So...

please don't bother him

any more about the insurance.

Any questions you can ask me

or my husband or our lawyer.

The last thing I want

is to bother you.

It's just a formality really.

But if you prefer,

I'll find another way.

Yes, I would prefer that.

Now excuse me, I'm cooking...

Madam...

What do you think he wanted?

I don't know.

But don't talk to him.

And wait a bit

before you go out.

They've done nothing

to find the culprit.

The police

and the court have the resources yet

they say they can't find any witnesses.

But just by knocking on a few doors

I've found someone who may

be able to identify my son's killer.

I want that man and his witness

in here today. See to it.

I'll bet that's the attorney.

Hello?

Good afternoon, sir.

Yes, I'll put her on.

Sir? How are you?

Yes, I saw it.

Why haven't you told them I was there?

I don't know.

What can I do?

Nothing. What could you do?

You haven't told anybody,

-have you?

-No. I said I hadn't.

I keep thinking about the ice.

Don't you?

Without the ice, the mixer

wouldn't have broken

and we'd have stayed at the party.

If we'd taken another street,

nothing would've happened. See?

Like a fool I think

of all the possibilities.

I know it's stupid but I can't

think of anything else. You?

How did you find it?

The garage owner rang us

when he saw the news.

Yes, I can be there

in half an hour, 45 minutes.

Yes? Fine, goodbye.

The public prosecutor.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

Do you recognise the car?

I think it's the one

that almost hit me.

Are you sure?

You need to be sure.

Yes, this is the one.

Good.

- Get it checked in less than an hour.

-Yes, madam.

What do you think, chief?

Can your people be

a bit more professional

for a change?

Can I go to the toilet?

Again?

-I'm peeing myself.

-Hold on a bit.

-I really need to go, Mum.

-Hold on.

Why did you drink so much juice?

Because.

- You only just went.

-I'll do it here!

-After we've filled in these papers.

- Over there.

You two go and I'll wait here.

Here. You go in.

Next!

-Hello.

-Morning.

Federico Samaniego?

Yes, my wife and daughter

have just gone to the toilet.

Perez, take over.

Follow me, please. We need

to ask you some questions.

-Trouble with our papers?

-No, it's...

It won't take a moment.

This way.

After you.

-In there?

- Yes.

Is there some way

I can let my wife know I'm here?

She doesn't know.

Mr Samaniego, by order of

Judge Landivar, you're under arrest.

What do you mean under arrest?

This must be some kind of mistake.

You don't need to put handcuffs on me.

What's the charge?

We've only been told to arrest you.

My wife will be getting on the bus.

Upon examination

of your car, traces of paint were found

from Pablo Marchetti's bicycle.

You just admitted

you ran over the bicycle

but in circumstances for which

there are neither proof nor witnesses.

The next day you took

your car to a garage

and a few hours later

left the country.

Mr Samaniego, at the request

of the public prosecutor's office

I am obliged to evaluate

your prosecution

on the charge of manslaughter.

However...

This is all a mistake.

Yes, I did hit the bicycle

but I didn't touch the boy at all.

However, I refuse the prosecutor's

request to remand you in custody,

so you are free to go.

In the next ten days this court

will decide what action to take

and if the decision is taken

to prosecute, your case

will be referred to

a tribunal. Thank you.

Hello?

There's a Mauricio Marzotta here

at the office. He says he's from

the insurance company.

Take him to the board room. If he hasn't

left after 10 minutes, interrupt us.

- Good afternoon.

-How are you, Mr Fustiniano?

Please sit down.

Sorry to turn up unannounced,

but your wife said...

Yes, yes.

She said you'd been around.

I want to be completely honest with you.

We've been investigating you.

You may not know but...

a large number of customers

pretend

their cars have been stolen.

Don't get me wrong... it's a financial

investigation we've been doing.

And we do so in every case of theft.

-And you found nothing?

-No, nothing.

Your financial situation

and your wife's are fine.

Then the case is closed,

-right?

-I wish it was.

But you will agree that your son's

account of things is rather...

unusual.

No.

I can't say that.

Yes, Mr Fustiniano.

The seat belt, the locks,

the wooden, mechanical way

he tells the story...

So?

Your son's hiding something from us.

Isn't he?

That's a very serious allegation.

Have you any proof?

Your car was covered against

theft but not negligence.

Yes.

I understand your situation.

I have kids too

and I know how mixed-up

kids are today.

What with alcohol,

night life and drugs...

Imagine he got out of the car

to say goodbye to a friend

and left the key in,

even the engine running.

And someone passing by stole it.

We wouldn't crucify him

for that, would we?

-No.

-So, as I say...

I'd just like to get this

sorted out as quickly as possible.

But it isn't that simple because...

My report may get

passed on to other people...

even a supervisor...
