Merciless (Dupla Identidade)

PREVIOUSLY... Excuse me. Angela, my wife...

They took her. I saw the man.

Help!

4 women in 3 months.

It's a pleasure, senator. I'm a great admirer.

I thought it very strange, adding her without telling me.

She was studying in the FBI.

You're the murderer here, not me.

Why would anyone kill in the brink of a guaranteed election?

Psychopaths kill because they feel confident, with control.

This lighter. It's got to be his.

We've got prints.

This guy was here yesterday to get some files for sen. Oto.

Bring this Eduardo Borges here now.

For you...

You feel like the center of the world when you're around him.

Wow!

I'm sorry to barge in like this, I just wanted to say

I did something about it, in my own way.

You're shocked because you saw a man leaving my bed?

Senator... Look at you here.

Aurelio Mendes leaked it to the press.

You went to the opposition's leader to...

I want my power of attorney and all the assets you took.

Eduardo Borges.

My lighter.

I was robbed last night, commissioner.

The guy's here.

Send him in. Come in.

He saw the kidnapper.

"I made my fantasy become

more powerful than my real life."

Jeffrey Dhamer

This is the owner of the lighter you found.

I was robbed last night. They took my lighter.

Putting what you two remember together,

we'll try to create a sketch.

- Nelson... - Yeah?

It's got to be the same person who robbed me.

Do you remember him well?

- Height almost like yours... - No, I think you're mistaken.

He was right in front of me, pointing a gun.

He was around 10cm taller than me.

I was paying attention to Angela, I...

- I should've... - Hey...

Hey...

Don't blame yourself.

- Please. - I should've paid attention...

- Don't blame yourself. - You two...

Please.

Make yourselves comfortable. We've got water, coffee...

We also have gum and candies in the jar.

It's very important to try and relax, to make the memory flow.

Let's start by the face's triangle.

Mouth, nose and eyes. Who goes first?

I saw the guy from my window.

He didn't look up.

But I remember a detail.

I remember his mouth clearly.

- The upper lip was bigger... - I think he wasn't...

- Please, one at a time. - Sure.

Yes, that mouth. Exactly that one.

I was going to say about his clothes.

- His clothes were... - Sorry to interrupt you.

He was wearing a blazer, and a baseball cap.

- He kept straightening it... - Calm down...

I understand, but clothes are not a big help.

- Let's focus on the face. - I also remember a scar.

- A scar? - On the corner of the mouth.

You know, those childhood scars. I could tell it was old.

OK. Was it horizontal or vertical?

It was horizontal. On the left corner.

- Didn't you see the scar? - No...

I think we need to talk.

Please, I know I have no right to mess with your private life.

- Who's talking about that? - I just want to make it clear

that I was just worried about you

- and your safety... - And I'm thankful for it.

Truly am.

Do you really think that knowing about criminal profiling

gets you safe from those kinds of people?

"Safe", Dias?

Who's safe these days?

Not even those hidden in their longest and stable marriages.

What should I do?

Sleep with my gun under my pillow? Is that it?

Didn't Ted Bundy teach us that?

"We are your husbands, your children,

we're everywhere!"

Apparently you don't believe him.

Maybe I believe in me .

So we're back on the senator, right?

We never stopped considering him.

We disagree only on methods.

The senator's questioning is scheduled for today, isn't it?

But for your information, he's out on this kidnapping.

And so is that fellow.

He reported the lighter being robbed, among other things.

You talk as if I'm trying to incriminate the senator.

You're wrong. I'm not against him, the evidence is.

No, you talk as if I want to acquit him at any cost.

I'm only being cautious, Vera.

There's no concrete link between him and this girl's death.

And that makes you comfortable, doesn't it?

It does, of course it does.

It's unbearable to know that people around you

are capable of committing such atrocities.

That's what all the friends from the monsters I study said.

It's Dias. What?

Oto shot a lawyer. They're in a clinic.

Nothing happened to Mendes. I'm telling you, nothing.

You bastard!

The bullet stopped on the briefcase.

Better yet... It stopped on the dossier against you

that was in the briefcase.

It was pure luck.

I lost my mind.

It's not easy, watching your life be pulverized. Like mine.

Are you crazy, Oto? What have you done?

You pulled that trigger, Silvia. You fired that shot!

- Me?! - Yes, you.

- Careful, the walls have ears. - You mean that I dodged

that bullet you had for me, right?

Wasn't that your intention?

You'd never be where you are without me.

And now you want to get out without sharing profits...

So you can enjoy life with your granddaughters ,

- no, great-granddaughters ! - I should've shot you !

Just like that model?

- I killed no one, Silvia! - Who knows...

See?! Didn't I tell you?

Oto, lie down.

I'll see what's going on.

He's sedated, he came in a state of chock.

He was worn out, they gave him something to sleep.

He's in no shape to talk to anyone.

Is that what you think?

Nurse, get dr. Mendonca, please.

You'll hear it from the doctor himself. Excuse me.

Polygraph, why? DO you think I did it?

It's normal procedure, just a few questions, won't hurt a bit.

Commissioner, I have to take my antibiotics on time.

- It's in my car, can I get it? - OK, go.

- Thank you. - Dias.

- Yes? - The usual.

He's sedated 'till he finds a way to get away.

Dias sent them both to the polygraph.

Aren't you going to watch?

I won't waste my time.

Polygraphs can be useful

for ordinary criminals, people like us...

But we're after a psychopath, it's no use.

Psychopaths can easily ace a polygraph.

Their art is in lying, dissimulating.

Any conclusions?

Haven't we found any common ground with the victims,

- an internet chat room...? - Nothing.

- Boyfriend, friends...? - Nothing.

There's something, Nelson.

There is.

All the victims disappeared in public places, at night.

Maria Lucia in a shopping mall, Simone in a supermarket.

Mariana on the street and Isabel in a parking lot.

That is, if she left alive.

So, what do we learn from this?

We learn he's someone who exudes trust.

You wouldn't run from him, you'd let him get close to you.

A senator, perhaps?

Perhaps. A common face.

Someone in an uniform.

Someone who doesn't look dangerous.

Listen to this, Claudia.

She started profiling from there!

The girls were taken from public places.

Good enough for you?

She had to say something . She was expensively hired.

We're looking for...

a man that walks on the street

and that goes to supermarkets.

And that looks good. We'll have to arrest a soccer stadium.

Dude, that woman is tripping.

Not as much as I'd like, Nelson.

Actually, the project is a study on the crime of rape.

With prevention as a goal, of course.

So you brought this idea to Oto?

I've dedicated myself a lot to it, commissioner.

I graduated in Law, now I'm in Psychology so I can go deeper.

All I need now is access to these numbers.

This project could be very interesting to us.

And you're connected to Oto, while we're clearing this up.

Nelson...

- So, you study Psychology... - I do.

We have a forensics psychologist here, Vera.

She did an internship in the FBI.

Nelson, I want a search in that area where the girl was found.

Let's scan the other side of the road too, the whole region.

- Do I close the door? - No, leave it open.

- Am I free to go, then? - You are.

- A pleasure to meet you. - Likewise.

Eduardo.
