don't keep it to yourself.
Otherwise,
let justice run its course.
Right, justice.
Okay.
Thanks.
Did you hear the rumor?
Which one?
You were right.
Cardozo will be kicked out.
The post is yours.
I didn't know anything.
I hope you don't forget
punch the crap out of me
just to make you happy.
- Professor.
- Gonzalo.
How are you?
Fine.
Visiting the exhibition.
- You like Picasso?
- Not much to be honest.
I was just killing time.
I'm meeting someone at the cafe.
I'm an unconditional admirer.
He's my favorite artist.
Do you have a minute?
I'd like to show you something.
Sure.
This is Picasso's
most important painting.
The Guernica
is pure marketing spin.
It's for jerks who don't know
how to look at a painting
so they just repeat
I understand.
Don't be fooled by its size.
It's a small painting
but everything's there.
In the middle
we see Christ crucified...
barely recognizable.
To the right, Mitra,
Persian god
adopted by the Roman Empire
in the early years of Christianity,
and next to him what appears
On this side of the painting
we find the elements of torture:
the nail in his hand,
the Centurion's spear,
the vinegar-soaked sponge
that was applied on the wounds
to multiply the pain...
At the bottom, the soldiers
play dice for Christ's clothes.
Can't you see?
See what?
Christ, Mitra, the bull,
all the sacrifices.
Innocent victims sacrificed
for the benefit of humanity.
Anyone could be the victim.
Man is a wolf to man,
and no law can change that.
Everything's in the details.
You just have to know where to look.
It's like what you said about crimes.
Interesting,
don't you think?
Very interesting.
And much cheaper
than the museum guide.
Doctor!
- Hi, how are you?
- How are you?
I thought you'd quit.
Only one every now and then.
Were you waiting for me?
No.
It was synchronicity.
Really?
Do you have a minute?
I could use your counseling.
Do you remember Ruiz?
Felipe?
Yes, of course.
His son
Little Gonzalo?
Who would have thought?
What's he like?
Weird.
Really weird.
- Full of himself.
- Shy.
No, no.
I know the difference.
He's arrogant, conceited,
he's above everything.
He takes
after uncle Roberto, then.
Growing up,
you were his idol, remember?
Or were you his mother's?
I thought that charge
had prescribed.
It's been filed, that's all.
These?
What do you think...
for someone my age?
Perfect for your mental age.
Trendy, youthful...
What is it, Roberto?
You call me at three in the morning,
you turn up at my practice...
What if I told you
Gonzalo is a psychopath?
Why?
What's he done?
Did you hear
about that murder at school?
I think Gonzalo
had something to do with it.
Gonzalo?
Don't ask me why.
I don't know.
There are some clues,
details, that attitude of his...
What you're saying
is very serious.
I know that.
Did you tell Alfredo?
No. I don't have anything concrete,
but I know he did it.
And I know
It's like a game.
I know what you're thinking.
I didn't say anything.
The Latorre case
was completely different.
I know how he thinks,
I know what's on his mind.
I can't explain it,
but I know him.
I know he did it.
You could be wrong, right?
- Hello.
- Laura?
What are you doing here?
Well, someone
has to pay the rent.
How are you?
So so.
Do you want to talk about it?
Okay.
You just have to know
what to ask, how, and who.
I'm following the case.
I'll let you know
if there's any news.
I told my dad about you.
He says you must be one
trying to get a slice of the action.
That's the way
my old man talks.
And what did you say?
That you had a nice guy face.
Is that good or bad?
He was insufferable.
He didn't want me to leave.
My mom was crying.
It's only logical.
But to you Junin is okay
only for a couple of days.
Any longer than that,
Does it show?
A little.
Are you married?
I try not to make
the same mistake twice in a row.
- Children?
- No.
And that's why you got divorced.
Aren't you quick
I'm sorry.
I tend to talk too much.
Don't worry.
There's some truth in that.
I wasn't a model husband.
When she wanted to have kids
I was too busy with my work.
And when I wanted,
she was busy with another man.
That sucks.
There's nothing
you can do about it.
- You have to get back.
- I'm coming.
Do you like Peruvian food?
If there's no other choice.
Call me if you want
and we'll go one of these days.
Okay.
Thanks.
For everything.
You've reached
Monica and Roberto's.
We're not in right now.
Please, leave a message.
How are you, Cecilia?
I'm fine, and you?
It's a long story.
- Can I ask you a favor?
- Sure.
With that meat in the fridge,
why don't you make some schnitzels?
The thing is I told the boy,
Ruiz's son, I'd go by today.
What time?
I said after midday,
when I leave here,
because he won't be in then.
If he's not in
then he won't notice.
Just a couple of hours.
Okay.
I'll make you
some schnitzels and some fritters.
Perfect.
You've reached
Monica and Roberto's.
We're not in right now.
Please, leave a message.
"From a lawyer to another"
Good evening.
65,50.
Anything else?
And these.
67 pesos.
It took me a while
to find this place.
You drink whisky, right?
- I don't usually.
- Get him a Blue Label.
Actually, I would have
loved to be a musician,
but I have no musical ear.
I guess the law
allows me some control.
It's a way
of putting the world in order,
even if it's only an illusion,
isn't it?
Things are just the way they are,
but they could
very well be different.
There's some logic.
Logics is a human invention.
And don't get me
started on morals.
But we need something,
something fixed, a law.
That's the key.
We need it,
but we don't have it.
That's why we end up
inventing values, norms, beliefs.
We all have a thesis
on what the world is or should be.
What's yours?
My thesis
is that there's no correct thesis.
No.
My thesis is that there's no way
to tell which is the real thesis.
I don't know.
I need to phrase it better.
Why me?
What did you come here for?
Excuse me?
You heard me.
Why come
to the bottom of the world
to attend a seminar
taught by a retired lawyer?
Well, I don't see it that way.
This is my country,
and you've been
a big influence in my life.
How long has it been,
ten, fifteen years,
since I last saw you?
Even more.
You were a kid.
Last time I saw you
I was 9 years old.
It was my birthday.
I still have the pictures.
Sometimes there's no need
to be present to influence someone.
My father told me more than once
that you're a brilliant man.
I think for years
you've been his nemesis,
