A RTVE SERIES

Mario, I think 12 years ago you saw something that linked

Alicia and Duarte, and it could help us find her.

Why don't you try to get "to know Alicia or her friends,

who have been with her these 12 years?

you're losing cont Screw you.

-How did you put up with Alicia when we were together?

-Don't play the victim, you're no saint.

You just were arrested for exploiting a bunch of people.

-Moisés got the jobs.

If someone got a bit rowdy, they'd deal with Duarte.

patients who were more lonely.

-I wanted to quit, but Moisés threatened me.

-He said I'd have problems What sort of problems?

-Duarte.

-I sometimes saw Rita at the day hospital.

Did she mention Duarte? -She didn't mention anyone.

-You must go to his house, arrest him, he has Alicia's things.

There's a medal with her name and photos of her.

Where are these things? -At Aure's house.

-Alicia gave me that medal in front of my friends.

I keep our photos on the hard drive.

This was a fuck-up, dammit.

Who are you? -My name is Rita.

Get me out of here, please! -I know this area very well.

We are next to a smugglers' route.

A car is coming, Rita!

Stop, dammit!

Marvin!

-Tino, come, don't be a turd.

We've brought a beer for the road!

-You can't even wash them off with boiling water.

-Where are you going?

Surely there is something open in Ayamonte. Come.

# -Tino, Tino,

(SHOUTING) Come on!

(HORN)

He's coming, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming!

(SHOUTING)

-Let's see...

-Do you think Gato is still alive?

-We should have put him to bed,

not just leave him lying there like a sack of potatoes.

I'm up to there myself. (LAUGHS)

How can you keep drinking? I'm bursting at the seams.

If the catfish bites right now, it will drag me down to Cadiz.

-If the bastard bites, I've got a little present for him.

Want to try it?

-What are you doing? Put that away, moron, or we'll get into trouble.

-You're always wrecking havoc. -Chill, relax.

(Drama music)

-What about you and Isa?

Really?

-We had sex in the stable of the farmhouse.

-What a rascal.

There with all the horse dung

smelling strong.

Are you serious?

-How the hell can we be serious? Nobody in town catches me.

PRODUCCIÓN -How the hell can we be serious? EMA DIAZ-PLAZA Nobody in town catches me.

Except for Alicia.

Alicia can hunt me, tie me up, and do whatever she wants with me.

-Get off, idiot!

-Lucky bastard Diego.

They must have been fucking all night at the beach bar.

(Whistle)

-Keep an eye on my fishing rod.

How's it going?

(Whispers)

-Keep it safe. -Go on, bastard.

-For hangovers, right?

-Fly wing. -Do you want one or what?

-No.

-To you, Frontera del Guadiana.

No, seriously now, would you fuck Alicia?

Tell me, dammit.

I'm going to say that you're queer with flowers, tulips.

Are you a fag or what?

-Do you want to kiss me? Move over

-I don't know why I put up with you.

-Here's the prettiest girl. Do you have a cold beer?

Yes.

Where is this asshole going? -Mario!

Mario, why are you away from home?

-Forget that nerd. -Come on, kid,

you're scaring people! Mario.

-Alfonso!

-Here, give this to Molina. What's going on?

-Some son of a bitch stole my SUV. -Good Lord.

-When? -Last night. I parked it at the farm.

I'm sure it was one of those Moors.

There are more Moors than berries. -For God's sake.

-We have to keep an eye on them,

instead of busting our neighbours' balls.

I'm not just saying this for myself.

You've crucified Rocío.

--We're doing our job. By the way, how is she?

I heard that Diego and her... -She's certainly not happy.

-Come in, come on..

-A common tarpaulin: Raffia plasticised in polyethylene.

The same that wrapped Moisés body.

Like the one you sell. -By kilometres.

I'm not exaggerating, I'm the best salesman in El Andévalo.

It sells well. Here they use it a lot on awnings, offices, covers.

Now we're starting to understand each other.

I'll call you Gato, like your friends.

And this laminated fucking thing,

did you sell it to Rocío too?

-Rocío, Manolo Pizán who has a greenhouse,

I've sold some in Portugal, I've sold them to Aure.

This tarpaulin's good for everything: For crops, to cover boats,

or hay for the horses.

When you know that your product is a quality product, you want

your friends have it and enjoy it.

I also give them a good price.

If you need it, I'll give you a discount.

You won't find it in a better place.

What did he want? To file a report.

He says his SUV has been stolen. MIL

That thing is older than my mother's cane basket.

I wouldn't even look for it, but he's so stubborn.

Hey!

I was going to shower.

I wait for yo No, no,

come in, don't just stand there.

I've slept like a bear and I'm hungry...

Have you had breakfast? No, I haven't

I'm embarrassed to have breakfast at the farmhouse

It got out of hand for me too.

I didn't have to question your work.

You're not doing too badly. Not doing so badly? Thank you

You're a mess at making amends.

Wait a minute and we'll have breakfast, okay?

a minu Okay.

(Screech)

(Coughs)

(Water in the bathroom)

What do you plan to do when this is over?

What?

What do you plan to do when this is over?

I don't know, have a baby. Why...?

No reason, because we have a lot of things to talk about.

Slow down, I don't want to argue in the morning.

When I return to Monteperdido, we will see what we do.

Have you thought of anything? No, not really

Have you thought of anything?

No. Well, we'll arrange to meet.

There's the girl, that's for sure.

We will organise everything.

Of course.

(Mobile)

Excuse me.

Marvin, Alicia's dog, was run over viciously.

The braking tracks are 20 metres further on.

Some day labourers stopped to see if they could help the little dog.

One moved away because he had to go and found her.

Do you know if she and Alicia were together?

Well, I don't know.

The dog found Alicia, he was with Rita.

That could be. Why? No idea.

They said Rita was a worker at Rocío's nurseries.

Azucena. Do you remember?

There's the judicial committee, to see if we can remove

the corpse once and for all and do the autopsy.

It's Alicia's.

Maybe they were running from Duarte. But they did not succeed.

If Rita is dead..

Alicia's body may not be far away.

(Birds)

(Music)

(TYPING)

(Knocks)

(Door opens)

-Manuel, we need to talk.

135 It's not good news, Mario.

It is about Rita.

We have found her body.

-But...

But what happened to her?

-We don't yet know.

Sara will come and talk to you as soon as she can.

In the meantime, she asked me to come and talk to you,

so you didn't hear about it through other means.

-What's happening in this town?

-I don't know, Manuel, I don't know.

I don't really understand this.

(Melancholic music)

(Birds)

-Were you close with that girl you took my clothes to?

-We'd see each other sometimes at the day hospital.

We spoke about how crazy we were, and...

She understood me.

You don't know how I needed that...

For someone to understand me.

-Why don't you try with me?

Maybe I can understand you too.

-(SIGHS)

It's as if you were on the other side of the river.

It looks like everything is normal, that you are,

that you are at home, that you are in your town.

The streets are... Are identical,

even the people are the same.

But no, no,

you're making it all up, all of it.

You are actually on the other side of the river.

Relax,

the pills keep me on this side of the Guadiana.

-It must be hell.

-Not always.

And that's the bad thing,

without realising it, it turns into this hell.

-I'm sorry.

I was like those brutes in town.

I didn't care what happened to you.

I could only think about the harm you had inflicted on us,

as if it were your fault.

-It was the illness.

-I know, I know now.

-That doesn't justify what I did.

I killed three people, Leo,

three.

I killed Tino.

Do you know what? When I started to stay cooped up at home,

he was the only one who came to see me.

-He always gave me the first tulip of the year,

do you remember? (BOTH LAUGH)

-He was the only one worthwhile.

I don't get why he was Aure's friend.

That bastard has been making our lives miserable.

-I don't care about Aure. -Of course you care.

He has always been after you.

He could do anything, to put you in jail.

-Do you think he will forgive me for what I did? No.

That's it. There is nothing I can do to change him.

-Does it matter if he forgives you?

I'm telling you he's gone after you.

-Leo, let it be.

Aure has nothing to do with Alicia.

He hates me because I killed his best friend, I don't blame him.

If I were in his shoes, I'd hate myself too.

-You don't know him.

(Tension music)

-We have to get a dog.

Wild boars have once again destroyed the borage.

-Does Leo look different to you?

-Well, a little, but for the better, right?

She's spending much more time with Mario.

-Yes, that's true.

There they were on the jetty,

like when they were kids.

But her hatred against Aure...

The agents said

she had gone to the farmhouse to find something.

-She is 18, Carmen.

Considering all that Aure's done,

at 18, I would have burned down his farmhouse.

Stop imagining things.

(Music)

(PANTS)

(Tension music)

(GROANS)

(PANTS)

(Drama music)

-Two point fifty.

Selva. Yes?

Forensics says these tracks are from an SUV

Aure has been at the barracks reporting

the theft of his SUV.

Let's check the tyre prints against Aure's car, just in case.

With that huge bump, and she's like an English setter,

there's no way she'll let go of the bone.

You'd better shut up.

you were right about Rita.

Get into the habit and get it right every time.

-It is a tragedy. Poor girl.

A girl who earned her bread by working in the fields.

We are shocked in our town.

-The body of the day labourer Rita Gómez Calatayud, 25 years old

and a native of Aroche was found early in the morning

in El Granado, near Frontera del Guadiana.

According to unofficial sources, Rita worked

in the flower plantations of a local businesswoman.

-The neighbours must appreciate

what day labourers do in our fields.

It's not acceptable to have like this, this is a welcoming town,

we're generous... We don't want those people.

-Rocío.

Ro, wait.

Listen...

-Gato is a bastard.

He'd sell his mother for some air time.

-I've been called too. -Did you make any statements?

Make the most of it, don't be a fool. Sell them an exclusive:

"Living with Frontera's exploiter."

-I'm sorry you're going through this. -Sure...

-Did you know this girl?

-No.

How's your mother?

I have to make time to visit her.

-I saw her yesterday, she doesn't recognise me.

But they take good care of her at the home in Ayamonte.

-I'm sorry.

Hey, Diego, I didn't know that girl.

(Music)

How many times do I have to tell you? I did not know her.

Nor do I know every labourer who comes to the gree

They come and go. Sometimes they stay for a few days or a day.

Rita suffered from a type of haemolytic anaemia

The poor woman cut her hand, the wound got infected and septic:

An extreme reaction to a shitty infection.

If she had been given antibiotics, she would've been fine.

At her work place, where she got cut picking flowers,

You're very smart, Rocío, you know what you're doing.

-Are you going to blame me for her death?

It never rains but it pours.

Rita...

Alicia, Moisés.

What do all three have in common?

people in a state of exclusion, alone in the world.

(Tension music)

Rocío, what have you done to Alicia? Where did you take her?

I know nothing about Alicia. You lied

about where you were the night Alicia went missing.

Do you know why? You were at her house,

at the door waiting for Moisés to finish the job.

But it went sour because Sonia turned up, didn't she?

-I'm really sorry about what happened to Rita, okay...? I'm sorry.

If I have to face prosecution for it, I will;

but you won't pin Alicia on me.

Maybe Rita and Alicia

-How could they know each other?

Your friend Moisés: He's the link.

-Moisés did not only work for me.

He had a thousand issues with everyone.

did business with Who isés?

-Other entrepreneurs in the arms.

Gato bought him a second-hand car,

God knows where he got it from. Aure also had his troubles.

Even Diego asked his for a boat. Stop there.

What business did Aure have with him?

Don't you know

that no one will stand up for you in this town.

-We have been friends since we were kids.

Aure, like Diego and Gato, only thinks about his interests.

I don't envy you. You will surely lose the land

and maybe you'll spend some time in jail.

I've heard that you're bailing your family out.

What will become of your mother when you are not here?

Rocío, look at me.

After the market, when my brother died,

Aure did not take it well.

He became violent,

more than one night he got into a fistfight in the bar.

He started to do drugs and it got worse when his parents died.

It turned out that they were in debt, or so he says.

Did he traffic with Moisés?

-They did something.

Where else would he get the money?

La Cabrera estate is ruined.

Méndez, I need you to get the prints off this

and compare them with Aurelio's. -At your order.

What did you get there? We don't have the DNA yet.

We have been able to identify

Alicia and Rita's fingerprints.

From a first ocular inspection,

I'd say they left the shed about 24 hours ago.

The door has been forced from the outside.

I think Rita helped Alicia escape with this.

-Yes. Inside we found no trace the other girl, only Alicia.

What?

Nothing. I'm fine.

If she managed to escape, why didn't she call for help?

Because this is in the middle of nowhere.

They had to walk around for hours.

And... If Rita was...

Was weak because of the infection in her wound,

imagine how slow their pace would be.

-Lieutenant. Yes.

-There's no trace of Alicia around.

Find out who owns this land.

Where the hell have they gone?

Duarte got to Alicia.

Fucking Duarte again. Quite a phenomenon, isn't he?

So, he takes Alicia, and leaves two dead on the road.

Maybe Duarte didn't see Rita.

She was in a ditch.

She could be there, in some bushes, right?

If he came down the road, maybe he didn't see her.

I'm glad it is a good day for some.

Let's go and look for Alicia and then

you can have your makeup sex. Let me explain, Selva..

You don't have to say everything that's on your mind.

If I keep quiet, I poison myself. Let's keep an eye on Aure.

The tyre experts matched the tyres.

His SUV ran over the dog.

I don't give a damn if he reported it stolen. What's wrong with Sara?

I'm fine. I'm just tired, really.

I'll recover in a minute. That's it. We're going to the doctor.

Victor... Come on.

(Tension music)

-What's going on?

-Really, why are you wasting your time with that crap?

-Because I like them. It's like freezing time.

Like a photograph you can touch.

Call the bouncy castle people

for the child's birthday.

Where are you going? -I have to do some things.

(Tension music)

-Do you know the gender? Yes it's

It's... It's a girl.

-A very restless girl Look, she won't stop r

She's taken out after the mother.

-Well, that's all right.

These contractions are normal in the third trimester,

but some women get them in the second.

The uterus is preparing to give birth.

So, don't worry. Okay.

So, is everything okay? -Yes.

Well, try to get some rest.

We don't want the birth to come too soon.

Okay. -Take good care of her.

(Soft music)

THE SMUGGLER'S ROUTE

Do you think the whole smuggler thing

I don't know.

I don't know, but it's Alicia's world, isn't it?

It may also be Duarte's.

Could Leo develop it too?

(Music)

Well, some mental illnesses

do have a genetic component.

Hello, Selva.

There is no time,

we followed Aure out of the farmhouse.

He kept stopping every now and then to make sure no one followed him.

Now he's at an abandoned farm.

I'll send you the location.

He's been there for half an hour.

don't like it. He could have Alicia in there.

I have asked the intervention group to come.

-Lieutenant,

you see, I've known... I've known Aure all my life and...

And sometimes you feel like punching him twice, right?

But do you think all this is necessary?

Do you want me to tell you something?

You have no fucking idea who Aure is.

If Alicia is in there, we can't wait for anyone, Selva.

Alfonso, the vests. Get prepared.

Come on.

(Tension music)

(Shot)

(Tension music)

(Shot)

Aure, drop the gun!

-Aure, Aure, don't be an imbecile.

Aure, put the gun down

and place your hands where we can see them.

-Will you let me be?

Won't you just leave me the fuck alone!

Aure, nobody wants this to end badly.

Aure, drop the gun!

(Tension music)

You are under arrest. Corporal, the handcuffs.

(Tension music)

Where is Alicia?

Did you come for her?

You won't find her here.

Take him away, Corporal.

-Come on!

What a bloodbath!

Why don't you wait outside?

-Lieutenant!

Lieutenant, come and see this.

Where are we going, Corporal?

For God's sake!

What the fuck is this?

Horse meat.

(Tension music)

I'm fine. I'm fine.

It's the blood, it's made me a bit sick,

but I'm okay.

Maybe you should take one of your pills.

I can't because of the child.

I'm fine, really.

-They are mine.

And if I want to slaughter the horses, I do it.

The fucking marines don't have to come

-to bust my balls again. Look, I'll tell you something.

When I was a kid, my father, who was in the military,

took me to an army camp and there were horses there.

They let me ride one: "Sombrerete."

Sombrerete was a beautiful Andalusian horse.

Well, you know what?

Sombrerete was a lot better than many of the people

I have come across in this life.

Much better than you, of course.

All hell will break loose on you.

Animal abuse, public health offence,

and something else I'm going to find.

You're a piece of shit!

That's what you are a fucking murderer.

Do you think I didn't love my horses?

But I couldn't do anything else.

What did you do with the meat after slaughtering them?

-No, not anymore, I...

(IMITATES AURE) "No, not anymore... No."

You'll have to come up with the excuse of a lifetime.

-Moisés sold it.

I needed the money and the horses...

He knew how to sell the meat.

You're blaming the dead man?

Fuck you! -That's true!

But when he appeared in the river, I was...

I couldn't keep up with the business.

I don't have the contacts that Moisés had.

So stop treating me like a murderer because I'm not.

we found the tracks of your car, the SUV.

Good move, reporting the theft, but we don't buy it.

At the shed where Alicia was held...

-Every Sunday at the market, anyone can buy it.

Las Calesas. That's the name of the farm where we found the shed.

Whose farm was it? TRY-Mine.

I sold it three or four years ago, I've never set foot there again.

The tarpaulin that covered Moisés' body is the same one that you used

-I got a call from the school.

Why are you missing so much school?

I don't care about high school.

You're smart and you'll recover those classes.

I want to know if you are well.

-Yes.

-Don't fool me.

Your father can hardly sleep and I...

Sometimes I don't even know what I'm thinking.

We are not okay, none of us are okay

until Mario is left alone.

Is that it? Did they pick on you in class?

-No.

It's about a boy.

You have a boyfriend and you've kept it secret?

-We are friends.

Nico, Teresa's son.

But don't tell Dad.

I know he doesn't get on well with that family.

-It's a deal.

-Carmen!

-Here, in Leo's room.

-Someone has been arrested.

I have only seen the Guardia Civil cars,

but in the village they say... It's Aure.

-See?

I told you.

That bastard.

-Where is she going? What's going on? -Leo!

Take it easy, son. Maybe this is all over now.

Are you determined to hold me responsible for Alicia?

Not us, the evidence!

Tell us what the fuck you did to Alicia!

-Nothing, damn, I didn't do anything! The night she disappeared

I was in a hotel in Huelva, the Cruz de Rayo Hotel.

That night, after being in her bar, I drove to Huelva,

the next morning I had a trial, call the courts.

What trial did you have? You've never mentioned that before.

-The bank is going to evict me.

I'm fucking broke.

I always pay for rounds of beer.

I'm the son of La Cabrera,

do you know what my parents had?

But... With the crisis, everything...

Everything went down the drain and...

They left us in debt.

My sister Maribel doesn't know...

But I've spent her share of the inheritance.

I've taken a mortgage on La Cabrera, so that my children don't go lacking,

and it's not enough, dammit.

Of course I know how deep the shit is.

I know better than anyone.

I fell into a fucking shithole when Mario killed Tino.

And I haven't been able to get out.

I don't feel a bit sorry for you.

-Alicia is another one of Mario's victims.

Like me, like everyone in this town.

We should have another life and that animal ruined it.

Get this fucking straight, Mario has nothing to do

with Alicia's disappearance. Your partner Moisés, however, does.

We have proof that he was at Alicia's house.

-I have already told you...

I was not in Frontera that night.

Don't try to protect your friends, they haven't protected you.

Do you know him?

-No.

No, I don't know him personally.

I know that he had the day labourer business with Moisés.

Fuck, he was afraid of him, he didn't dare say no to anything.

Alicia is my friend.

And I really thought that Mario did it.

But if it wasn't him, if it was him...

That Duarte...

Please, you have to find him.

-Sometimes I wish I could live on the other side of the river,

like my brother.

Probably in his head,

people aren't as much of a cunt as they are here.

-What about me?

If you left, wouldn't you miss me?

-I can't live without you anymore.

-Listen to me, Leo, this is over.

Aure is in jail, they'll get the whole truth out of him

and he'll leave us alone once and for all. You will see...

(Melancholic music)

Hey! Hey!

I'm not cut out for this.

Who is cut out to tell parents that their daughter is dead?

Nobody.

well, putting up with my nephew

You'll see him soon.

that we have not yet managed to understand.

Have you ever taken a boat ride down the river?

Do you know that I still dream about Santiago, Dani, and Ana?

The years go by and they don't,

on the contrary, there are more ghosts.

In three months the baby will be born and she's all that matters.

After that I'll have to change something.

Change what? You didn't want to take medication.

No, and I don't want to either. I don't want to stop being me.

And I am afraid,

because it's not just about me anymore.

I am afraid of falling again.

I am afraid of getting lost.

So, then...

Well, When all this is over

and you have to return to Monteperdido,

I don't know, maybe...

I might as well go with you and so we're closer.

I'm not talking about being a couple, or living together,

we've been wrong enough as it is,

but I am thinking about what is best for her.

IVL What do you think?

Nieve will be very happy.

Lucas!

-I'm coming, Mum!

-Latest news:

A little kiss, sweetheart.

-Don't hang around town too long,

Aure's issue is all over the news.

-There's no right

as if the poor guy did that for the fun of it.

People are too quick to criticise,

the poor horses were probably in bad shape.

-That's what I said.

-Be good, love.

Goodbye, cousin, beautiful.

-Goodbye, precious.
