A little baby boy is killed, the son of Tony (Carlos Caniowski), an
ex-cop, & the best friend & erstwhile partner of Jaime (Georges
Corraface), who is now in charge of the case - much to the dismay of
Alcazar (Alberto Jiménez), his assistant who thinks he should have been
given the case & who doesn't like Jaime one bit.
Soon Jaime seems to break up, when he links the murder of the boy
(& several others that follow) to Lazaro (Emilio Guttiérez Caba),
whom he had once arresxted for killing children, but his lawyer could
clear him of the charges when it turned out that Lazaro had an affair with
Jaime's wife Julia (Ana Fernández), & now everybody in the force
& even the press thinks Jaime has somehow lost his head over Lazaro
& now tries desperately to put some blame on him.
Later, the killer even manages to enter & leave Jaime's appartment
unseen but leave behind the heart of one of his victims ... in the
meantime Jaime has a breakdown in front of a tv-camera & violently
beats up a reporter - whom he formerly had an affair with ...
Only Alcazar it seems slowly starts to see Jaime's line of reasoning,
beats Lazaro's secret adress ouzt of his lawyer & slips it to Jaime
... who rushes there & finds Lazaro leaning over the dead body of a
child - as it turns out Lazaro's own daughter ...
Now everyone on the force is pretty sure that Lazaro is indeed the
killer, but to not risk another slipup, Jaime - to his dismay - is
resigned from the case. During questioning though - which is conducted by
Alcazar - Lazaro kills his own lawyer, who has given away his adress -
which is why (he claims) his daughter ws killed. Now, Lazaro is indeed a
killer, but is he the killer ? Probably not, because he really seemed
concerned about the death of his daughter.
But while Alcazar continues investigations, that soon lead to Jaime as
one of the key suspects, Tony, father of the dead boy, persuades his
friend Jaime to steal Lazaro from police custody (it shouldn't be too hard
for an homicide-detective), to have their own little revenge ...
Only when Jaime has already pointed his gun at Lazaro does he realize
what he is doing ... but now, Tony is revealed as having been the real
killer all along, who has now kidnapped Jaime's daughter to force him to
kill Lazaro - because LAzaro would serve him much better dead ... & of
course, Jaime makes a tailormade culrpit too, should his plan with Lazaro
not work. & to put an emphasis on his evil scheme, he covers his body
with Jaime's daughter & threatens to drop her off a building ... &
indeed, he can force jaime to kill Lazaro, just when the police, headed by
Alcazar, arrives to arrest Jaime. Everything is over, & Alcazar can
persuade Tony to give hm the kid ... when Jaime pulls the gun of one of
the cops who are leading him away, aims at Tony and ...
Competently crafted thriller that has a quite interesting plot too
(even if the killer becomes obvious way too soon), but somehow the spark
is missing to really breath life into the film, somehow it after every
good idea retreats to cop-genre routines. Still, it's watchable.
