Tesis sobre un homicidio Page #5

it was too good.

He went over the top.

He wanted the murder to be noticed,

he wanted to leave his trace.

That's the worst possible sin

a murderer can commit.

Arrogance.

I disagree.

I think lack of intelligence is.

They're usually the same thing.

If you're going to challenge

an investigator to a silent duel,

you can't

underestimate his capacity.

Never.

- Hi, how are you?

- Fine, and you?

I'm sorry.

Gonzalo...

- Hi.

- This is Laura.

Hi, how are you?

Very well, and you?

Fine.

Are you Spanish?

Argentinean,

with an accent.

Are you one

of Roberta's students?

Actually,

I think I'm his favorite.

Here's your menu.

Hello?

You were sleeping.

Roberto?

Yes.

Did I wake you?

No... Well, sort of.

What happened?

Nothing.

I just wanted to check on you.

I'm fine.

Are you alone?

Yes. Why?

I'm sorry.

It's a bit late.

I didn't realize.

We'll talk tomorrow, okay?

Is everything okay?

Yes.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay.

You can't smoke here.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

I'll call you.

Okay.

Bye.

Thank you for everything.

It's been a real pleasure.

There's no need

for such formality, Villazan.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations.

Thank you so much.

Master...

It's been a real pleasure.

Thank you.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

Last chance, Prof.

Are you coming

to the party on Friday?

I don't think so.

- THESIS ON A HOMICIDE

- There was a lot to be said,

I decided to narrow it

down to the essentials.

I hope not to bore you.

I don't think so.

I'm very curious.

Do you know

when you'll mark it?

I'll be going back in a few days.

Really?

So soon?

I miss my home.

Besides,

my work here is done.

And I also wanted

to tell you I followed your advice.

What advice?

That thing you said about

getting laid as much as I could.

Hello?

Yes.

Come on up.

Hi.

Shall I come in?

Of course.

You look different.

You had your hair cut.

Yes, I changed it.

I didn't like it the way it was.

Was it his idea?

Whose?

Who told you to do it?

Nobody.

Maybe not straightforwardly,

but he manipulated you into doing it.

I don't understand.

I know you two

are seeing each other.

What, you're following me?

No, it's not like that.

I know

what happened to your sister.

It wasn't by chance

that she was murdered

outside the school

or on that specific day.

Absolutely

everything was planned.

Everything.

Every detail.

The formol, the note,

the charm she was wearing...

Everything.

I don't understand.

Valeria was an experiment,

some sort of thesis.

The murderer

wanted me to find him.

Who?

Gonzalo!

No, it can't be.

Gonzalo saw that your sister

parked her car outside the school.

He picked her,

he decided she'd be his victim.

It wasn't his first time.

I know it sounds crazy

but it's not, believe me.

He waited

until the day of the class

to have the perfect alibi

and also so I would be there.

That was the challenge.

He left me clues,

very subtle but very clear for me.

That's why

you gave me Vale's charm.

I need you to help me.

What are you doing?

Are you using me?

No, it's not me.

Gonzalo is a murderer.

He's toying with you and me,

he's toying with both of us.

I have a plan

and I see it's working.

I need you to do your part.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why would Gonzalo

kill my sister like a beast?

It doesn't matter why.

It matters to me.

You're telling me the guy

I slept with murdered my sister.

It doesn't make any sense.

It's crazy. It can't be.

Believe me.

I'm telling you because I'm sure.

He's a psychopath

son of a b*tch.

He's a murderer.

And he's enjoying

this sick little game

of provoking me

and sleeping with you.

Think about it.

Think about it for a second.

Don't touch me.

Where's the restroom?

In my bedroom.

At the end of the hallway.

Easy.

- Are you feeling better?

- Yes. I have to go.

It's important

that you understand

that Gonzalo's very dangerous.

Don't ever see him again.

- I want to leave.

- Trust me.

Don't touch me

and let me go.

- What are you doing?

- Let me go!

- What's wrong?

- Let me out.

Are you afraid of me?

I just want to help you.

Put that down.

Do as I say.

Give it to me.

I talked to his father.

Monica told me about your theory.

Did you mention my name?

I had to.

He says his son is a genius.

A brilliant kid, he said.

All parents think that way.

How long has it been

since you last slept?

I sleep.

Little but I do sleep.

I've been asking around,

nothing official.

The kid has no records,

not even a note

for bad behavior at school.

I know.

He's a model student.

What do you have against him?

- This is personal.

- Why you ask?

I'm sure you already have

the doctor's diagnosis, don't you?

I don't care what issues you have

with him, his mother or whoever.

You know what

presumption of innocence is, right?

I think so.

I'm asking because last time...

This has nothing to do

with the Latorre case.

I was wrong then.

I'm not now.

In compliance with article 256

of the regulation of the law 4794...

We summoned him

to amplify his testimony, that's all.

Don't worry. I won't make you

do anything to jeopardize your post.

I'm not worried about mine,

I'm worried about yours.

The girl has already

filed a report against you.

...under penalty

of false statement

as prescribed in article 275

of the Criminal Code

and article 190 subsection 8

of the regulation of the law 4794.

Do you understand?

Perfectly well.

You have the right

to consult with a lawyer.

I am a lawyer.

Very well.

Full name?

Gonzalo Maria Ruiz Cordera.

- Nationality?

- Argentinean.

Mr. Cordera, you've been

summoned to give testimony

about the case

of the rape and murder

of Miss Valeria di Natale.

Were you a close friend

or acquaintance?

Did you have enmity,

hatred or resentment manifested

by facts known to both parties?

Do you have

any connection to the victim?

No, I didn't know her.

Do you give

your testimony freely?

Yes.

Very well.

Are you aware of the facts

of April 23rd of this year

that took the life

of Valeria di Natale?

Yes, of course.

I follow the story in the papers.

Besides, I was

at the school that night.

I don't remember the time exactly

but I spent a long while

in the reading room.

Did you see or hear anything

that could be linked to the murder?

I've been giving it

a lot of thought.

I wish I could help

with the investigation.

I understand

any detail could be important,

but I just don't remember

anything significant.

I'm sorry.

Unusual movements,

somebody who looked out of place...

Nothing.

Anyway, I don't think

it was an outsider.

Rather, I think it was someone

who wanted

to show off with the murder.

I don't understand.

I mean,

it must have been someone

familiar with the usual

movements of the school,

someone who'd

walked around the place before,

and even maybe

had contact with the victim.

That's why he went unnoticed.

Besides, he probably has

some knowledge of forensic medicine.

Take the detail of the formol.
