CHILEAN INVESTIGATIVE POLICE

Police!

Open the door!

Let's go!

Try the right.

Javier, with me!

Let's go!

Clear!

Come on!

Clear!

Let's go!

Notify the unit.

Attention, unit:

body with a gunshot, no vital signs.

Copy, 10-4.

Boss!

Don't move!

Hands on your head!

Hands on your head, dammit!

This new police case has caused a big commotion,

where Tomás Ruiz…

Never before in Chilean history

has a person with Down syndrome been accused

of a crime of this magnitude.

This is the police!

…a 48-year-old employee

with a gunshot wound in the chest cavity.

Hands up!

Objection, Your Honor.

The defense is using arguments of a nature

that are used for cases of children and adolescents.

Tomás was 26 years old.

Mom!

Tommy is sweet, good-natured and very happy.

-I miss you a lot. -Me too.

Tomás!

NO TRESPASSING

EVIDENCE

DEPUTY COMMISIONER B. DURÁN

What did you get involved in, kid?

Turn around, please.

Turn around, please.

Turn around, please.

Kiss. Alright, go.

Hi, my dear.

I'm hungry.

You didn't eat breakfast?

Let's go eat something then.

What do you feel like?

Pizza.

It's 10 in the morning, Amanda.

Do they sell pizza in Valdivia?

Of course they sell pizza. Why are you asking me that?

Because Dad wants to move there.

They offered him a new job.

-Hello, Amanda. -Hi.

-Hi, Amanda. How are you? -Good.

He has Down syndrome.

They found him at the crime scene.

What was he doing there?

We don't know. He hasn't said anything yet.

What did we talk about?

I didn't have anyone to leave her with.

You're not allowed to bring her here.

Yes, I know.

I need you to go to my office for a bit.

-I don't want to. -Please, Amanda. I need to work.

I need you to go to my office, stay there and don't leave.

I'll be there soon.

Alright.

It's a complicated situation.

The press is asking questions, the DA wants them off their back…

We can't keep him here long.

And the victim?

Orlando Mandujano Soloza, 48 years old.

Shot in the chest cavity.

-The murder weapon? -Missing.

They're searching the place, but they haven't found anything.

Durán is in charge of the lab tests.

PERSONAL RECORD

Hello.

My name is Mariana Enríquez. I'm the Commissioner of the Homicide Unit.

I'm here to ask you a few questions about what happened last night.

You have the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent,

but any information you give us

can help you get out of here faster, okay?

Can you hear me?

HEARING IMPAIRMENT

NO

Tomás.

Nice name.

My grandpa was named Tomás.

What were you doing there, Tomás?

Were you alone?

Who else was there?

Do you know who fired the shot?

I imagine you're hungry.

Here.

It seems you understand when it suits you.

Look, Tomás.

I don't want to scare you,

but tough days are ahead for you.

And, the sooner you talk, the better it will be for you.

I found her walking down the hall.

Thanks, Barraza.

What did we agree on ?

You know you can't be out on your own, especially not here.

Make an effort, Amanda.

Don't laugh, I'm serious.

Commissioner, this is Rubén Sandoval, the defense attorney.

What are you doing?

An evaluation of his mental capacity.

No.

Don't say anything.

-You're in trouble. -Why?

You questioned him without me.

Commissioner, we have to take him to court for the detention procedures.

Go ahead.

Excuse me.

Please stand up.

Thank you.

Hands behind you.

Thank you.

What'll happen to my friend?

He's not your friend.

Where were you Thursday, August 5th between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m.?

At home.

Can anyone corroborate that?

My wife.

And how long do you know them?

A few years.

From where?

-Who is that? -From jail.

Ariel Zavala, owner of the factory where the crime took place.

Ex law enforcement, retired in 2011.

Owner of Beta Recycles.

A company dedicated to the reduction, reutilization

and recycling of waste.

An entrepreneur.

That's what's waiting for us.

…which he doesn't have.

You know Tomás Ruiz?

Yes, of course. Tommy is the brother of an ex-employee of mine.

Beckham.

Beckham?

What is his real name?

Guillermo Ruiz.

He worked with me…

for a while

until I caught him stealing.

-That's when the threats started. -Beckham?

Look.

Just like the soccer player.

This new police case has caused a big commotion,

where Tomás Ruiz Larenas,

a 26-year-old young man with Down syndrome,

was found next to the body of Orlando Mandujano Soloza,

a 48-year-old employee

that had a gunshot wound in the chest cavity.

The details of the case are still unknown

and if there were any other parties involved.

We do know that for now, there were no witnesses

and this young man with Down syndrome

is the only suspect,

which makes this an unprecedented case in our country's police history.

Due to the delicate nature of the case,

I'm asking the press to please leave.

Please.

Where's Amanda?

I left her at home with my Dad.

We should celebrate that we got another case together.

Where would that be?

In my apartment, at night.

Alright.

On August 6th, 2021 in Santiago, Chile,

we are addressing case #2548224-6.

Let's review what we have so far.

Yes, Your Honor.

Today, August 6th, at 3:15 in the morning,

the Chilean Investigative Police received calls from neighbors

saying that they heard two shots coming from the Beta Recycles factory

located on 2445 1st Avenue, in Quilicura.

Upon arrival, police found the body of Orlando Mandujano Soloza,

a 48-year-old Chilean national,

who died as a result of a gunshot in his chest cavity.

The murder weapon still not been found.

The individual with us here, Tomás Ruiz Larenas,

26 years old,

was the only person present at the scene of the crime

and he was found in a state of shock.

His face and clothes had traces of blood.

We are waiting for results from

fingerprint, forensic and ballistic analysis.

Tomás has Down syndrome

and he has refused to provide any information about what happened.

We're unsure of his cognitive abilities.

In their first report, the Investigative Police,

indicates that he can communicate

and he understands what is being said.

Did you read him his rights?

Yes, Your Honor, they did.

Tomás.

Good afternoon.

Tomás.

Could you tell us what happened last night?

Tomás.

My client is not in any condition to be questioned.

I suggest giving him some time

to gather his ability to reappear

and be subject to an evaluation of his mental faculties.

-Anything else? -Yes, Your Honor.

Ariel Zavala, the factory owner where the incident took place, gave a statement.

He confirmed that the victim, Orlando Mandujano Soloza,

was an employee there.

He said he had no information about the incident.

However, he gave us information about Tomás' brother.

Guillermo Ruiz,

also known as Beckham.

Guillermo Ruiz also worked there,

but he was fired eight months ago,

when he was found stealing,

according to Ariel Zavala.

Guillermo Ruiz's criminal record includes:

theft, robbery and robbery with intimidation.

We have tried locating him,

but his whereabouts are unknown, Your Honor.

Charges?

Your Honor,

the information we have gathered

is, in our opinion, enough to request

that Tomás Ruiz Larenas be formally recognized

as the main suspect in the homicide of Orlando Mandujano Soloza.

COMPREHENSIVE CENTER FOR PERSONS WITH MENTAL DISABILITY

Based on the information provided,

I am granting the request for precautionary measures,

but in an institution for people with mental disabilities,

to be decided,

You will be given 30 days to investigate

and determine Tomás Ruiz's actual participation

in the death of Orlando Mandujano Soloza.

I am also requesting

an exhaustive expert evaluation of his mental faculties

to determine the accused's level of judgement.

You can't leave him here.

Judge's orders.

He's accused of a crime.

We don't have people like that here.

Here.

I'll talk to the DA.

He should be in a special unit with a prison facility.

I hope this is only temporary.

Take off his handcuffs.

DOWN SYNDROME

DOWN SYNDROME IS A GENETIC DISORDER

CAUSED BY THE PRESENCE OF AN EXTRA COPY OF CHROMOSOME 21.

THE FIRST PERSON WITH DOWN SYNDROME WITH A UNIVERSITY DEGREE

DOWN SYNDROME INVOLVED IN A CRIME

A MAN WITH DOWN SYNDROME SHOT

Excuse me, Commissioner.

Look, I found this.

Down up?

It's an organization in Las Condes.

Tomás was part of its theater group.

Thanks, Caviedes.

Excuse me.

DOWN UP! FOUNDATION

You must be Detective Enríquez.

Mariana.

How are you?

Sofía Lombardi, the foundation's director.

Thanks for meeting with me.

I'm investigating Tomás' case.

Tommy.

We all call him Tommy here.

Tommy.

The kids are really upset.

I didn't give them the details, only that…

he won't be coming for a while.

Is what the other detective said true?

We're investigating.

The kings of the jungle.

I want to see the kings of the jungle.

Let's see those emotions.

How long has Tommy been coming here?

A little over a year.

He came through the municipality.

Who did he come with?

With his brother, sometimes. Sometimes with his aunt.

Now, the lions.

What about his parents?

From what I understand, he never met his Dad.

And his Mom died ten years ago.

What can you tell me about his brother?

Beckham.

He always made me feel uneasy.

Why?

He was defiant.

Irresponsible with time.

And apparently he has a criminal record.

Jump, softly.

Good.

Could they be aggressive?

Someone with Down syndrome.

Yes, they could.

People always say that they're calm,

sweet,

like little angels.

A common error is to see people with Down syndrome

as if they're all the same.

each one has their own characteristics,

different personalities, like any other person.

As if we had a flame in our chest.

That's burning us.

-Can I meet them? -It burns, but it gives us life.

You can meet Christi, she's my daughter.

But I have to ask the guardians of the other kids.

This is a very delicate situation.

Ask them.

Big breathe in.

-As if you were a starfish. -That's it.

What do you think?

I'll suggest to Christi that she speak with her

so that this gets resolved as soon as possible.

Tommy is sweet, good-natured and very happy.

It seems like you like him a lot.

We're a couple.

How long have you been dating?

Six months.

Give me a kiss.

-A kiss? -Yes, a kiss.

You look good together.

We're going to get married.

What was your relationship with Tommy?

Bad.

Why?

Did you ever fight?

Sometimes.

What do you mean "sometimes"?

He hit me once.

Was he ever violent?

Did he ever attack anyone?

Tommy helped my son a lot.

People here are a bit snobby.

Tommy hadn't even arrived

and the other moms

wanted to kick him out.

He's on a scholarship.

Just like us.

And then the whole tablet thing happened.

The tablet thing?

Yes.

They accused Tommy of stealing it from a teacher.

Sometimes he made us do things we didn't want to.

Like what?

Like running away from the foundation and going to the market.

Sit wherever you like.

I'll be right back.

No.

No, brother.

No, brother.

Don't eat anymore.

That's Karen's.

Are you eating my food?

That's my tray!

Mine!

It's mine!

My tray!

-It's mine! -Let him go!

Karen, let him go.

Lady!

Calm down.

How did it go?

I spoke with the neighbors.

Most of them are security guards. It's an industrial area.

They called from the car because of the shots.

-How many did they hear? -Two.

-Does it align with the analysis? -Yes. A 9 mm Beretta.

And the employees?

Nobody heard anything, no one was working that night.

Most of them have criminal records.

It seems that Zavala likes to hire people straight out of jail.

What about Mandujano?

No.

He didn't have a record.

His family is pressuring us to move Tommy to jail.

I went to the foundation the kid was a part of.

And?

He can communicate perfectly.

His silence has nothing to do with a lack of ability.

He either has post-traumatic stress,

which could include amnesia and refusing to remember what happened.

Or?

INTENTIONAL

Of his silence is intentional.

And he's trying to protect someone.

His brother.

Beckham.

ZONE IV

You're cool.

You confronted Karen.

No one has ever dared to do that.

Aren't you scared?

What?

Karen,

this place…

The screams scare me.

What screams.

Those.

They're like small people…

tiny people…

that talk and talk.

And they make noise.

I don't like when they get mad.

I don't hear them.

Do I scare you?

Good.

My name is Alexis.

Not like Alexis Sánchez because when I was born,

Sánchez was little.

He wasn't famous yet.

I'm Tommy.

Well, Tommy.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of you.

Alright, time for bed.

We're going to turn off the lights.

Swallow this.

It'll help you sleep.

Here.

Very good.

I don't like this but I have no choice.

They're orders from above.

Okay.

Good night.

Just go to sleep.

That way the fear goes away.

CALLING RICARDO

I'm busy.

When were you going to tell me about Valdivia?

Let's talk tomorrow, Mariana.

You're not taking Amanda.

Let's talk tomorrow?

CALL FINISHED

Shit.

Mom!

Last March, in a shopping mall.

First we see Tommy alone.

He seems lost, and people come try to help him.

Then Beckham appears.

He pretends not to know him, and is supposedly trying to help.

And taking advantage of the chaos,

he pickpockets people.

They used him as a distraction.

Not only.

Bravo.

They saw them in various places, using similar techniques.

They took advantage of busy streets, chaotic places, the metro.

Sometimes, Beckham stole but other times Tommy did too.

If someone was suspicious, they turned around and saw his face and…

They presumed his innocence.

Exactly.

Anything else on Beckham?

He was in Italy for two years, they deported him in 2008.

Steal and run?

Some call it street track and field.

Sure.

Did Mandujano steal with them?

PERSONAL RECORD

Maybe, but he isn't on any of the videos.

Fingerprints? Forensics? Did they find anything?

-We'll have the results in a few hours. -Okay.

Caviedes, Durán, you're in charge of the street cameras.

Barraza, contact the Puente Alto police.

-I want more information on Beckham. -Okay.

I'm going to try to get more information from the kid.

Hello, Mariana.

How have you been?

How's your search going?

Don't forget we have a session on Friday,

don't miss this one too, okay?

-Good afternoon. -Hello.

I'm Commissioner Mariana Enríquez. I'm here to talk about Tomás Ruiz.

Yes, the told me you were coming.

Hi, Tommy.

Remember me?

Look.

I brought you this.

I saw that you liked it.

What happened?

Did that happen here?

I need you to tell me what happened that night.

The sooner you talk,

the sooner you can leave here.

Was your brother there?

Hey, lady!

Be careful.

That guy is dangerous.

We're busy.

Look.

He thinks he's a dog.

Leave us alone. I'm questioning him.

Excuse the interruption.

Karen.

Don't forget today is your day to help in the garden.

I want him to apologize.

I forgive you, puppy.

Let's go.

Come on.

Excuse me, detective.

What happened?

They had a fight.

Karen pushed him

and Tommy bit her in return.

What about the marks on his wrists?

That…

must be the security straps we use here.

-Thanks. -Excuse me.

If you want to get out of here,

you have to cooperate.

Was it your brother who shot the gun?

Come on!

Hey.

Save it for after lunch.

- Durán. - They spotted Beckham in Bajos de Mena.

No.

I have to go get Amanda.

-Don't worry. I'll go with Caviedes. -Okay.

Keep me informed.

-Mariana. -What?

We have the lab results.

And?

He had traces of Mandujano's blood and gunpowder on his clothes.

Damn it.

The gunpowder and the blood could have travelled

if the shot was close to him.

Let's see what the DA says.

Okay.

We're here, dear.

Come on.

Relax.

Nothing's going to happen.

Turn around.

I said, "turn around".

Put her to sleep.

Go downstairs.

Sit down.

I'm Beckham.

-I'm the brother… -I know who you are.

You know that this is serious.

This is an invasion of a police officer's home.

Be quiet.

Or else you'll wake your daughter.

And I know all that.

Tell me.

What do you want?

I killed him.
