The Secret in Their Eyes
June 21st, 1974...
was the last day that Morales had breakfast with Liliana Colotto.
And for the rest of his life
he would remember every detail of that morning.
They planned their first holiday, with some tea and lemon
because of the cold, that he drunk with some sugar.
he will always remember that real jam, that he would never taste again.
the tiny flowers on her dress
but mainly.. her smile.
that smile just awaken
mixed with that ray of sun in her cheek
and that...

-No, well...think not
-Leave it open, kid. Come, sit down
so what do you know about writing books?

what's wrong on that?
and i want to write about the Morales case
I don't know why

take it, you two dinasours
will come to an understanding
-i think that now, i won't have any excuses.
i will have to write
but where can i start?
-Start where you remember the best

-Che, whats up?

-Yeah

But I'm not sure that

we have to start with them
-of course
-you are such a tender kid
-why?
-why? A chick comes and you already
have a sentence for her?
-thing is... I may look like a frog
but I'm really a charming prince
-Mr Esposito
-What?
-they say that Dr Romano said
this case is for us
-Dr Romano? Tell him that
General Esposito is going to kick his ass
-ok
-where are you going, a**hole?
she comes, and i'm a blank
-forme is easier, Benja
i'm not in love
-me either, jerk
go on
-what i say is, you took the files
and put them right there
not too complicated
-Che, Romano, what did you
say to 25th? its yours
-we agreed to make on you
one us, whats the deal?
-a robbery, not a murderer, cheater
one and one if its the same
-what can i do? ask him to
Dr Fortuna Lacalle
-im asking for a solution
not 2 problems
-excuse me, my dear
why a problem?
-no, Dr. i meant, it would be childish
to bother you with this
its something we can solve
by ourselves
-by the agreement, the case is yours
and hurry up with it..
..or instead of a murder scene
you'll find a funeral
-how are you, Baez?
-here i am and you
-tired of being so happy
-i can see the joy in your face
-like a dog with two tails
if there's one thing i love...
it's that the a**hole Doctor
sends me to see a dead woman
-watch out, there are thousands of a**holes
like the easy a**hole, never bothers
he knows he's an a**hole
never f*** with anyone
-how are you inspector?
-and we have the a**hole
that think he's a genius
screwing it all the time
and we must clean up their sh*t
like that, i dont have one
i have two:
judge and colleague from the 18thi dont know if he's a jerk, a mother f***er...
or a clever combination of the two
this was his cause, thats why i ask you
if you can, talk with the judge, explain to him that...
-Liliana Colotto. 23 years old, teacher
married since the beginning of the year
to Ricardo Morales, from National Bank
-the old woman says that she didn't see anyone.
the two workers hadn't shown up for days
-sure about that?
-she said she hadn't seen them
-im going to see the husband at work
-im going with you
-Ricardo Morales?
-yes, that's me
-Inspector Baez, federal police
-somebody else had keys for your house?
Have you seen any strangers around recently?
A neighbour told us that you came home
every midday. Isn't that far to go?
sorry, i didnt understand
-we had a habit, to watch The Three Stooges together
at midday. She had so much fun...with them
-well, you will have to come with us
to the morgue. We'll try to make things fast
-che, whats the problem with the "a"?
please, take it away from here
-i dont know, but i cant even look at it
-hey, Benja. tell me if you like it:
by this i state that, I, the judge in criminalistic
Dr Fortuna Lacalle, declare myself...
..completely insane and incapable of acting.
-No, no, no. That's not the way.
let's see
no, no, its like this: because of articles number
i state, big letters, that Raimundo Fortuna
Lacalle, is a crazy man
demented, in juridical meaning
