The first 200 lines.
Brothers and sisters, our life is short and fragile.
It is delicated.
And this death among us proves it.
We are gathered here in the house of God...
to pay our last respects to Tomas Samot.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Are you going to be alright?
No. Not until you are back.
Take care. Try to get some sleep.
Your brother is not suffering anymore. He rests in peace.
My brother is not at peace. My brother is dead.
Dante, call me if you need any professional help or if you need a friend.
Your last patient is not exactly in good health.
Your brother's mystake was not accepting any help.
That's not true. He took an entire bottle of your pills to end up there.
Dante, calm down.
Father, let's go. Dante needs to say goodbye.
Goodbye Dante.
Call me.
Let's go.
NECROPHOBIA
Just a second.
Just a second.
- Beatriz - Hello.
CLOSED FOR MOURNING
How are you?
I'm much better.
Did you have breakfast?
No, but I'm in a hurry.
I just came to see how you were doing and to pick up some stuff.
It is just a second. I make coffea and you put your stuff together.
Ok, fine.
Hi. I am a little late...
I'm not sure how long it is going to be...
Ten minutes or so...
As soon as I'm done I'll be there...
Yes, wait for me.
- Too much work? -Yes.
Please, don't look at me like that.
Since Tomas is dead...
I am not coming back with you out of compassion.
At least my brother's death wouldn't have been in vain.
I love you, but I can't.
I don't want to wake up one morning and find your dead body in the bathtub.
Tomas had no one. I have you.
No. Wait. Stop.
You should sell everything. Leave this place.
What is this?
These are your brother's pills.
But I'm not him.
You need help.
Don't you worry about me. Now, tell me...
What do you need this for?
Who is that for'?
Beatriz, wait.
- What is his name? - Whose name?
You are seeing someone.
Tell me his name. I am sure I know who he is.
I know the end to this story. So give it up.
Take your keys.
Beatriz, please...
You are late, aren't you?
Do I know him?
Don't make him wait.
- Hello - Hi, is this Dante Samot? It's me.
- Who is it? - It doesn't matter.
Your wife is cheating on you. She's at the Milton Hotel with a guy.
- How do you know my name? - You will recognize him...
- He is missing one hand. - Who is this?
Don't let them laugh at you.
Who is this? Who...
Hi. You've reached the home of Beatriz and Dante. Leave your message after the beep.
Is this a joke?
Who is this?
Is it a joke? Who is that? Who...
I just told you to leave this Church.
Get out of the House of the Lord!
This is a psychotic break. This is not happening to me.
This is not happening. This isn't real.
Let me out.
What happened to you?
Who did this to yourself?
Tomas, is that you?
They are looking for you.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to take it? Are you?
Hi. You've reached the home of Beatriz and Dante. Leave your message after the beep.
This can't be happening.
Hi. You've reached the home of Beatriz and Dante. Leave your message after the beep.
Mr. Samot, we are looking for you. We need to talk. It is very important. It's about your wife.
Hi, who is it?
- Mr. Samot? -Yes, who is it?
- My name is Soledad Roca. I am a police officer.
- Did something happen? - We need to talk as soon as possible. It is about your wife.
- Beatriz? Did anything happen to her? - Is she alright?
We are getting to you place right away. Please wait for us there.
It is a delicate issue. It's better to talk personally.
Mr. Sam 0t?
I am Soledad Roca. We spoke earlier on the phone.
The door was open.
Mr. Sam 0t?
- Just a minute - Everything Ok?
I am on the phone. I'll be right down.
Agent, please bring us a glass of water.
You were here the entire morning?
Yes.
It is weird...
The maid at the Milton Hotel described to have seen a man exactly like you.
No, that's impossible.
I was here. I spent the entire morning organizing stuff.
My brother and I used to work together. He died a few days ago.
Pehaps you visited her early. Then you left her alone.
Beatriz and I were separated. I was here the entire morning.
Were you alone?
Yes.
Do you remember your wife mentioning anything in particular?
Any fights with someone? Did she have any enemies?
Do you know if she was seeing anyone?
I am just asking because it seems like she knew her agressor
She opened the door to her room.
I should have never left Beatriz.
We should still be together.
Mr. Samot, it is just a formality but I need you to come with me.
What for'?
To recognize the body.
No.
No. I can't do that.
Why Can't you?
You don't understand.
I can't do that.
They are looking for you
What are you going to do?
Ok.
Let's do it.
Let's go.
I know this is very hard for you.
I don't think you understand.
Tell me, can I make a phone call?
As many as you want. You are not under arrest.
What do you need? A lawyer?
- Why did you bring him here? - I am sorry, what is your name?
- Nicolas Virgilio - Soledad Roca. I am in charge of this case.
So you are here as Mr. Samot's psychologist.
I am a psychiatrist and a family friend.
Don't take it the wrong way. This whole thing is a little weird.
Dante suffers a behavior disorder know as necrophobia.
It is a rejection that prevents him from being around dead bodies. Specially in a case like this one.
If you need I can write it down for you. I can make a certificate.
That won't be necessary.
It is the first time I hear about necrophobia.
There are more cases than you can imagine.
In this case it manifested as a psychotic break when Dante found his dead brother.
This woudn't prevent him from killing, would it?
He loved his wife.
Maybe too much.
So...
- Is it her? -Yes. It is her.
Easy.
I am sorry.
I still need to talk to you.
Can you come with me? I need you to sign some papers.
When was the last time you saw the victim?
Two weeks ago, at Dante's brother funeral.
Do you know if she had a lover? Was she seeing anyone?
What are you implying, Officer?
This case has all the characteristics of a crime of passion. That is why I am asking.
Did she mention anything?
Anything about what?
I don't know. An argument with somebody. Any situation that seemed weird.
Nothing I can recall.
Do you know if she had any confidant? Somebody she could talk to?
- No, she... - Father Gustavo.
What are you saying? What do you know about Father Gustavo?
What do you know about Father Gustavo? What do you know?
Wait for me here...
You are here to reunite with the merciful venerability of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
You are here to reunite with the merciful venerability of our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.
You are here to atone for your guilt and your sins of thought, of action or ommision.
How can I help you save your inmonal soul, son of mine?
You could at least tell me everything you know.
- Dante? - Tomas is dead. I guess it has to be me.
I need some help.
I can't offer you the kind of help you need so please leave this place.
Beatriz was seeing another man and you knew it.
- You are obsessed with that - Tell me
Beatriz had a lover. She must have confessed it.
I will never violate the sacred secret of confes...
Beatriz is dead.
What?
It was her lover. I am sure of it.
- What are you talking about? Please tell me his name, Father?
Dante, this morning you came with the same argument. Now you tell me Beatriz is dead.
I don't know what you talking about, Father.
You need to look for help somewhere else, Dante.
- I am sorry. - You know who she was seeing.
I didn't kill her.
It was him.
- Do you get it? - Who are you talking about?
Tomas. My brother.
He killed her. It had to be him.
