Sin retorno Page #4

but I really do think we can find

a solution to this.

It depends on how much

you're ready to cooperate.

What kind of cooperation?

Look...

I think we could work it out

here and now for 20 per cent.

"Did you say aliens?"

"Yes, aliens. "

"They took you to your grandparents'?"

"No, not there. "

-"But to a planet, Jupiter. "

-Dad?

What?

Mum said they mixed you up

with somebody else.

-She told you?

- Yes.

Well...

Let's go to sleep, shall we?

Dad!

Leave the door open tonight?

Yes, sweetie, don't you worry.

...Pablo Marchetti's father,

at the scene of the accident.

Judge Landivar let my son's killer,

Federico Samaniego, go free.

Thanks to the judge we're all here

and there's been

no justice for my son.

All we're asking for

is an exemplary jaiI sentence

so that no more people will die.

Victor was clear and to the point...

When are we eating, Mum?

Soon. I'll call you.

All right.

I'll be in my room.

What are we going to do?

They arrested that man.

But they let him go later.

That's right.

They accused him for lack of a suspect.

To look like they're investigating.

Nobody likes what's going on, Matias.

But I'm sure it'll all come to nothing.

Everyone will soon forget.

-They said he'd been accused.

-For how long?

They've no proof, Chaucha.

They've got nothing.

-Maybe, but something...

-What are you going to do?

Me? Nothing.

So...

we just have to sit back and wait.

Wait and see what happens.

See you around.

The case isn't overwhelming but

with the pressure from the prosecutor,

the media and the boy's family,

Landivar will probably

call you to trial.

Which doesn't mean

you've been found guilty.

Once things have calmed down

a little, we'll get the judge

to take another look

at the evidence.

Can't we do anything to keep the boy's

father quiet? Yesterday he called Fede

-a murderer.

-That's a delicate matter.

The media are on his side and we should

avoid confrontation with the family

and indeed any kind of response.

That'll be our strategy.

We have to prove that there's

no basis for the accusations.

If we manage that, we have

everything under control.

What about the car that ran the kid

over? Aren't the police looking for it?

I suspect they're not.

From experience,

when they have "enough" evidence

to request a trial,

they don't look for another suspect.

As there's no proof

of any other car being involved,

unfortunately we can't rely

on anything like that.

We need the judge

to dismiss the evidence

and for that we need

to concentrate on their evidence.

If we manage that, you'll be acquitted.

So it's important you remember

exactly what happened that night.

Any fact could be relevant.

The car braked where the line is.

Right here?

Yeah, here.

Did you brake and get out

and go to him...? What happened?

No, no, no.

I braked and got out.

Then the kid started on at me

because his bike was f***ed.

Right...

Then what happened?

I drove away.

-Are you sure this was the man?

-Yes.

I'm sure.

What were you doing at the time?

I was in the kitchen

giving the dog some water

when I heard a screech

of brakes. I went to

the window and saw this man

in a public telephone box

below the house.

He made a very short call,

ran to his car and drove off.

Could you recognize

the make of the car?

No...

There was a tree in the way

but I saw the lights.

Check the phone records they sent us

to see if that phone box was

the one used to call the ambulance.

Right.

May I ask why you came in today?

It didn't seem important that night.

And I didn't connect it

with the boy who'd been run over.

But when I played it back in my mind,

I realised it was the same man.

My head's splitting.

Take something for it.

Have you heard anything else?

All I saw was what was on the Internet.

No, nothing much.

He's still accused

and they're looking into

whether he was racing.

What if they find the car?

They won't.

If they do, we'll have

to go on saying it was stolen.

Do you really think

nothing'll happen to that guy?

I don't know.

He has a little girl.

Did you see?

When I think of Matias half-naked

saying they'd stolen the car,

I could kill him.

I was watching TV with Lu before

and the boy's father was on again.

Lu had the remote control

and saw it all.

I didn't know what to do.

I tried changing the subject,

to get her away from the TV.

I stood in front of it

and in the end

I grabbed the remote control off her.

Then I burst into tears.

I couldn't stand it.

We'd better talk to Matias

and take another look at things.

Another look?

The options we have.

We have more than one?

Haven't we?

Or do we tell Matias he'll go to jail?

No way!

I'm not saying that but things

are getting complicated.

Exactly. The more difficult

things are, the surer we have to be.

We must show Matias a firm front.

We're talking about prison!

You say it like I'm telling you

the only way out is to confess.

What other options do we have?

Go on like this, confess...?

What else is there?

Just a minute...

Nine's okay.

Yes, perfect.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

-So?

-It was the lawyer.

He said not to worry about

the lady and the telephone box

as the judge will probably

dismiss it as evidence.

And that we'll have

to make an advance payment.

I talked to my dad.

He can lend us

We need it, Fede.

There's no other way so...

You know what I think.

How many shows have you had cancelled?

Have you got any this month?

My salary's hardly enough, Fede.

You'll have to accept it.

We'll find a way

to pay it back later.

Everything will be okay.

I don't get it, I really don't.

Here, sweetie.

Everything will be okay.

Will you stop saying that

all the time, Fede!

Things won't be

any different tomorrow.

-Okay, stop...

-Like magic, everything's fine!

Please, Fede!

Let's not argue.

It makes things worse.

Come on.

ARE YOU AT SCHOOL?

I'M AT THE POND

AT HOME:

SEND:

We have an acceptable body of evidence.

Haven't we?

Maybe.

The best thing would be a direct witness

or more forensic evidence.

Yes. In an ideal world,

but we haven't got that.

We can only use what we've got.

Let the tribunal sort it out.

Write the indictment and send

the papers for trial tomorrow.

What have you brought?

A notification

and an arrest warrant.

Leave the Samaniego file here.

I'll write the indictment myself.

All right.

Tell me which tribunal

it ends up with.

Okay.

SEVEN MONTHS LATER

All rise.

Please be seated.

Having deliberated on the evidence

given in this trial,

this tribunal finds

Federico Samaniego,

case number 686, guilty

of the circumstances

judged in this case,

considering him

criminally responsible

for the crime

of involuntary manslaughter,

and sentences him

to 5 years' imprisonment

with a special ban on driving

for 10 years.

He will also pay

court costs.

The recorder will make a copy

for the register of sentences

so that it may be certified

and subsequently filed.
