The public has a right to know.
Was it an accident or not?
Yesterday, his life was threatened.
Did you know?
You expected it?
You said, ''So they finally did it.''
What did I say?
To the hospital director, you said...
''So they finally did it?''
Who are they?
Go away.
The culprits have been arrested.
You thought of them?
Go away.
They know already?
Yes, and it's only beginning.
Unmask the killers!
The police are accomplices!
Wait. I don't understand.
The fall didn't kill him?
Not at all.
The skull fracture was due to a blow struck on the head.
That's our conclusion.
The fall caused minor bruises.
You're sure?
A blow?
You mean by the truck?
The truck hit his body. It wasn't serious.
The death blow hit his skull...
and was made by an instrument such as a club...
an iron bar or a gun butt.
But no one's mentioned a weapon.
Continue, doctor.
The skull fracture can only be due to a weapon...
that struck from above.
It is the sole condition...
that causes symmetrical lesions on the brain...
touching the subjacent area...
and the area opposite the wound.
An autopsy showed the lesions...
the right cerebral hemorrhage...
and the fracture of the left temple.
In the case of a shock due to a fall...
on a hard surface like the street...
such lesions couldn't exist.
Why didn't you tell us sooner?
-Sooner? -Yes. Yesterday.
Mr. Deputy, he was still alive.
We needed an autopsy.
Time for other tests would have shown the same facts.
Another hypothesis is...
if the truck dragged him...
his skull could have hit the curb.
It's a fact that he was hit in the middle of the street.
Then a fall couldn't cause such lesions.
A phone?
Next-door.
Yago was driving.
The second man was drunk and couldn't have been so precise.
A demonstrator.
Their story's odd.
Know them well?
Very well.
Political?
Maybe.
Communists?
Not if they work here.
The opposition?
One never knows.
The general, please.
I wanted to see you to clarify a few points.
It all seems clear enough to me.
A new fact has come up.
It's stuffy in here.
You saw the accident?
How did it happen?
In what respect?
When the truck arrived, what happened?
The colonel and I were there...
when he walked out, waving to the crowd.
They didn't applaud him, either.
He didn't see the truck zigzagging toward him...
and he was hit.
The colonel's men ran after the truck.
Two men drew their guns...
but due to the crowd, they didn't fire.
The truck zigzagged and finally got away.
The police cleared the square...
and helped put the victim into a Volkswagen...
to go to the hospital.
No trace of the Volkswagen driver?
Not yet, but he must be a friend of theirs.
He helped them at once.
When the victim was run over...
could his head have hit the curb?
No. It occurred in the square.
You're sure?
Positive.
But what's this new fact?
The autopsy says he was killed by a club.
A club?
Why did the doctors do an autopsy?
It's the legal procedure.
Yesterday, it was all settled.
Now you'll foul us up.
A new witness.
He claims he has proof the senator was assassinated.
He'll be here today at 2 p.m.
There you are. An assassination.
Soon they'll say it was a plot.
I saw him. He was drunk.
He nearly fell in front of the truck.
What happened? You saw it?
Yes. He slipped and fell.
Anybody here?
Anybody here?
I'm the Chief of Police.
I was on my way to testify, and as I walked along...
You fell and hit your head.
You suffer from epilepsy?
Someone hit me.
I was on my way to testify that I have proof...
the senator was assassinated.
It was no accident.
Yago told me so himself.
I was going to testify...
but someone hit me on the head from a truck...
with a club...
to keep me quiet.
They tried to kill me.
I don't know who told you to say this or why.
I don't want to know.
We can forget all this.
Let's say you were influenced.
You're almost one of the family.
Your cousin's a policeman...
brother-in-law has a government job.
Forget all this.
General, they're coming.
If you need anything, come and see me.
I'll drop by again.
I'm a bachelor and live with my ma.
Profession?
