Jaime, hello. I'm Sara González, yes.

Yes, yes, everything's fine.

Uh… Well, I'm calling because I wanted to I apologize for what happened the other day.

My attitude was unprofessional.

And, well, I wanted to ask you Yes, we can complete your evaluation.

As?

Yes, I know where it is. Why?

[electrical clicks]

You should check around there.

[sighs]

The keys to that?

[clink of keys]

[Felix] The red one.

[opening the lock]

[Felix tose]

[Felix tose]

And all this gasoline?

- For the brushcutter. - [incredulous] Ya.

Too much, isn't it? What does it have, the engine of a Pegaso?

There are a lot of weeds. What do you want me to do?

Infusions.

[Felix tose]

- [Jota] Throw. - [music of intrigue]

[Arias] Give me.

[Suspenseful music intensifies]

[Felix tose]

And this?

[coughs] Twenty years in the body.

[police radio static]

- [intriguing music fades out] - [engine idling]

[Commissioner] I am aware of media relevance.

I'm telling you.

Of course.

Let's talk later.

[door closing]

I have asked the scientist that he prioritize this.

Let's see what they can come up with.

I have spoken with Camacho. He doesn't want us to rush things.

Yes.

Judge Camacho He wants procedural guarantees,

and the Chief of Staff, Garay's head.

- I can't be everywhere. - Is that why you ordered surveillance?

What if another dead body turns up? And you see, there was no security?

I agree, But you can't do it on your own.

Are you more worried about that than about catching the culprit?

I'm worried. that you have decided who is to blame.

I want you involved, But not that involved, you know what I mean?

Castillo was your superior. And your story with the murderer, with his daughter…

Neither the judge nor you You were here 25 years ago.

Castillo was indeed there,

And look.

If you can't find a way to build the case,

Start thinking about another option.

[sighs deeply]

[eerie music]

It was you.

You've snitched on the surveillance.

Do you think you're going to get away with it?

Get rid of what?

My house is a complete mess. full of police

and with newspapers all day in front of the door.

I got out of jail and I'm still in jail.

Question me again.

Wow. All this time with your mouth closed

And now you want to talk.

Yes, ask me again.

But, when we're finished, I want to ask you a question.

Only to you.

A question.

Just one.

[coach's outbursts in Basque] in the distance]

[eerie music continues]

[Aitor] Sebas.

[music fades out]

Wow, you're really putting on a back, aren't you? How much have you done today?

[Sebas] Well, about an hour.

That means you're afraid Xabi will come back. and take your job. [laughs]

No. It feels good, it helps me disconnect.

You haven't told me what you do during carnival.

- Disguise ourselves. - That's true too. What a question.

Hey, dad.

Uh… Why does he love her? Does he never talk about his grandparents?

- From my parents? - No, from his own side.

[sighs] Well, Because it's not easy for her, you know that.

No, I don't know.

Her parents died when she was very young. and it hurts him to talk about it.

Come on, you don't know anything either.

Her parents, for her, They are Aunt Mercedes.

That's all that matters. Let's not ruin his day, okay?

Come on.

[door closing]

[engine starts]

[woman] Come on, one more little ladle, that rowing is very tiring.

- [Sara] Did he tell you? - That?

- [Sara] They've made him a headline. - ¿Titular?

- Well, it's temporary. - Don't downplay your achievements, son.

- ¿Titular? - Yeah.

Well, well! What an honor, isn't it?

Well, well… [laughs]

Hey, the rowing thing is really good,

But math, what about it? Hmm?

- How was the exam? - Mm, good.

- Mm, okay. Sure. - Yeah.

- He's been a bit off-center lately. - [Aitor nods]

Heartbreak, too?

Well, you shut up, that you weren't exactly a perfect ten at your age either.

[Aitor laughs]

I have never failed a subject.

- OK. - Me neither.

The boy is right about that. It's a generational thing.

They're all disconnected. They can't stay focused on anything for a minute.

And I told Sara, This is because of that darn algorithm.

[Sara] The algorithm keeps her up at night.

The algorithm has him fried.

Well, that's not why.

It's because of the Diesel Killer.

- Yes. - The Diesel Killer?

[nods]

The one who burned his victims.

Félix Garay. Doesn't that name ring a bell?

A boy in his class burned a backpack and they're all in a frenzy.

- Ah. - He's out of jail.

They say he's killed again.

[Aitor] Okay, we're eating.

I explain to Aunt Mercedes

what is it that has me a little off-center lately.

- [Aitor] Okay. - [Mercedes] I don't watch TV anymore, mm?

And it saves me a lot of trouble, to be honest.

- Mm… Any help with dessert? - Stay still.

- Friend, you and I, let's get to work. - [Sebas] Come on.

- [Aitor] Stay still. Take Mom's. - Are you finished?

- [Sebas] Yes. - Are you safe?

- [Sebas] Yes. - [Aitor] Dame.

[eerie music]

How many times have I told you?

- We're not going to discuss this again. - Right. What if he finds out who his grandfather is?

No, or worse. What if Felix wants to meet his grandson? Hmm?

Look, Sara, I have always respected your decision.

And I know you're trying to avoid it Let them experience what you have experienced,

But if they find out you've lied to them, and so many years…

They're not going to find out.

- He's going back to jail. - Why are you so sure?

- Just because. - [Sebas] Do you want coffee?

Yes, but I'll go. that you don't know where the coffee maker is.

- OK. - Keep picking up.

[background murmur]

- [door closing] - Could a glass of water be?

[Arias] When we finish.

You have never wanted to give a statement, not even if it meant a reduced penalty.

I haven't come here to talk about my past.

- So why are you here? - You tell me.

Commissioner Daniel Castillo.

Do you remember him?

- [Felix] Vaguely. - [Arias] Scientist sees similarities.

And the expert psychologist too.

If your explanation is convincing, could rule you out as a suspect.

[Felix] No. It's the other way around.

Your obligation is to prove that I can be.

Years bring perspective.

And now we have a more accurate profile of you.

You killed those you saw as integrated psychopaths,

people like you.

Please congratulate the expert on my behalf.

He knows me very well.

Very good.

Let's go back to the night of the crime, the night Castillo died.

Where were you?

Sleeping, I suppose. It's a habit I have at those times.

This murder He performs exactly the same ritual.

Do you know how difficult it is to kill?

- [Arias] Are you making a confession to me? - No. I'm referring to the effort.

It's not easy at all.

The preparation,

the submission,

carry the body…

Too old for that?

[dramatic music]

I have cancer.

Lung.

Microcytic.

Bring him water, Jota.

Thank you so much.

- [phone in the background] - [door opening]

What was the question you wanted to ask me?

Is he happy?

My daughter.

Is he happy?

We're finished.

[Jaime] Sara.

[Jaime clears his throat]

How are you?

All good.

A very… very different from the consultation.

Yeah. I didn't realize it was carnival.

If you want, we can move it.

I only have time for a coffee. Relax.

It's a brewery, Sara.

I know it's not an excuse, but, well, I was… going through a peak of stress.

Hmm? I promise it won't happen again.

Well, you could say

me too I've been a complete idiot

from the first time that I entered your office.

Do you know what some psychologists call it?

Projection.

It's when you're stressed, furious… and instead of confronting that emotion,

What you do is… Well, personify it in someone.

Are you saying all this because of me or because of yourself?

I am presumed to A little more self-control, wouldn't you say?

I am a therapist.

- Absolutely. - Mm.

In fact, you fit in very well at this party.

By?

You've come in costume too.

From a psychologist.

In other words, I had thought all of this through. as if to relax a little.

I'm relaxed.

That's precisely it. What someone who is under stress would say.

- [mobile] - Yeah?

[Jaime nods]

- [mobile] - Just a moment. I see you now.

- [mobile] - [footsteps fade away]

[distant mobile]

Arias.

[Arias] Sara… Forgive me, Sara. I haven't been able to call you earlier.

A complicated day.

[eerie music]

But it's been a good day, hasn't it?

There is a lot of work ahead.

We might find something, But I'm not going to lie to you. No…

It doesn't look good.

Didn't you find anything?

Sara, there is an ongoing investigation.

I've already told you too much.

When I have something concrete, I promise you…

[mobile phone beeps]

[Brazilian music plays]

Hop! Do you dance?

No? [laughs]

Oh well. [laughs]

[Jaime] Your coffee.

Thank you so much.

[eerie music fades away]

- Are you OK? - Yes. Well, I've taken off my disguise.

- [Jaime] Come on. - [Sara] Water polo champion.

[pub atmosphere]

- Take! - Final answer?

Well, you don't have a swimmer's body.

- Oh, really? - [Sara nods]

You haven't seen it yet.

Still?

- That? - You have failed.

- Is this you? Sure.

- [dart stuck] - Well.

[dart stuck]

- [dart stuck] - [Jaime] Come on! Okay, it's your turn.

Two things about you that are true and one that is a lie.

I graduated first in my class.

That's 100% true.

Before becoming a psychologist, I wanted to be a firefighter.

[Jaime] Oh…

And I fucked the dean of my faculty.

[dart stuck]

The third one is a lie.

Well no.

It's true.

And yet,

I came in second.

[Jaime laughs]

- O sea, que tú querías ser bombera. - Yes, what's wrong?

- [Jaime laughs through his nose] Nothing, nothing. - [dart stuck]

In other words, my water polo, second in your graduating class…

[dart stuck]

We have things in common, don't we?

Neither of them Are we what we seem, or what?

No.

The competitive gene.

Okay, another game. Whoever loses pays for all the rounds.

- Are you safe? Sure.

- Are you taking the risk? - I'm taking a chance.

Come on.

- [scratching of a fingernail] - Down!

[pirate] Waitress, a rum and cola. That I don't have to jump onto the bar.

Your friend.

- What's up, pirate? - What? Hello.

- You touched my ass. - They?

[pirate laughs]

You're missing something. to be a real pirate.

- Oh, really? - I think so.

Perhaps a treasure?

- ¿Mm? - A treasure?

- [nods] - [laughs ironically]

[pirate laughs]

Do you know what you're missing?

You're missing a patch.

- In the eye. - What are you doing?

- ¡Sara! - A fate.

- You're missing… - Sara, what are you doing?

- Sara. - Take that crazy woman away!

[Sara] What do you say?

- Yes! - [pirate] Pirate, you fool!

Shut your mouth, you idiot, shut it up.

Okay. Let's go, okay.

Clown.

¡Sara!

[Sara exhales]

[eerie music]

- A year going around in circles. - You don't understand anything.

- I don't understand anything, Sara. Explain it to me. - Because he's my father!

I want to go see it! I'm sick of hearing lies about him!

- You'll understand. - Why can't I go?

- Can't. - By?

- No. - Because?

It's over. That's it.

[Jaime] Sara.

Sara.

[music fades out]

Are you OK?

[exhales deeply] You?

[sighs]

Damn self-control, huh?

[sighs] God.

Well, we've controlled ourselves. each other, right?

And is that something to be proud of?

Very proud, yes.

Better?

Yeah.

Sorry.

- Thank you. Nothing.

And excuse me.

[in Basque] Goodbye.

Maybe it's time, isn't it?, to…

go home now.

Maybe.

Thank you.

How did it go?

I'm late, sorry.

How are you all?

Sebas is already in bed.

Okay. I've gotten confused.

- It's just that right now I can't... - It'll only be a moment, you'll see.

You'll kick me out in no time. Okay, see you later.

[mobile phone beeps]

[TV via headphones] Progress in the Daniel Castillo case.

Yesterday morning, the National Police has searched the home of Félix Garay,

known as the Diesel Killer,

to find evidence that they connect him with him.

[mobile phone without sound]

[eerie music]

[exhale deeply]

[mobile notification]

[Sebas] What the hell are you doing?

- Hey, Sebas. - Don't touch my things!

- Lower your voice with me. - Don't touch my things.

If you need to talk about something, You know where I am, okay?

At 70 euros an hour, right?

- [music fades out] - [murmur]

Look, that's where he lives.

Pego Street, on the outskirts of Errezubi, taking the general route.

How do you know the address?

Well, because, in the news, They posted pictures of the house.

- And Errezubi is very small. - Mm.

With Google Maps, you don't have to be a hacker.

- Yes. - OK.

There is a bus that takes 45 minutes. which leaves us in the village.

From there, it's a 10-minute walk.

Come on, let's take some photos and we'll be back.

- Nobody finds out. - It has to be done.

One out and a half.

I have beers and firecrackers, for messing around.

Today? [laughs] No, not today.

- No way. - You're terrified.

Are you an idiot or what? Today is carnival.

We have to go home, dress up… No, no.

- Also, is your ass burning or what? - Yes.

Well, but… We did have a beer, didn't we?

Or are you scared too? Hmm?

[mocking] You're subnormal, that's what you are.

[Quique laughs] This?

- You've certainly prepared the excursion. - No, this…

Mom's sandwich. Go on.

- [Sebas clicks his tongue] - [Quique laughs]

- [Sara] You said that everything pointed to him. - And I was wrong.

No. I've seen the report. The crime scene… Everything points to him.

Damn, Sara, We were taking a risk on the registration

and we haven't found anything.

At least, nothing that links them with the Castillo crime.

Not a scientist either.

And that he's an arsonist And what about a primary psychopath?

Huh?

This case A parallel trial cannot be allowed.

This case or your career, Arias?

Damn it, Sara, what do you want me to do?

Question him.

Find an excuse, any excuse.

Have you done it yet?

- His statement is solid. - [sighs] Uh-huh. And what did she tell you?

Sara, I'm sorry, really, But I can't tell you any more.

I can't share with you more information.

Try to distract yourself, okay?

As?

Sara, I'm in the middle of an investigation. Let's explore other avenues.

As soon as I have something that's worthwhile, you…

Someone else will have already died.

Sara…

[footsteps fade away]

- Where did you get this? - The police gave it to me.

Why isn't the police here?

Because they're not going to do anything.

What do you think?

Negro.

Sorry, firefighter humor.

Have you been there?

Do you know what a technical fire is?

You create a small fire, You prevent a fire, you save a forest.

I had to put out several of those fires, And I know how Felix made them.

[music of intrigue]

He adjusted the fire to very small margins. I didn't want it to get out of hand.

because I didn't want it to affect no one other than his victim.

I thought about everything, the temperature, the topography,

fuels, wind…

But here…

Look at the terrain.

It is entirely surrounded by pallets. That helps with the spread.

Yes, but not a single pallet burned.

- It was a controlled fire. - [Mario] No. There was no wind that day.

If it weren't for that, everything would have burned down.

It was a matter of luck. A lot of luck.

Are you saying it wasn't him?

Felix wouldn't do it that way. He never left anything to chance.

You're very sure, aren't you?

[Mario] Because I know how he worked.

He was a good firefighter.

Relax, no… I'm not a journalist. I'm Lorena. We've spoken on the phone.

- [distant barking] - Can?

[corvid caws]

[door closing]

[Felix clears his throat]

The house is very nice.

It doesn't look anything like it. to what Martin was saying.

- [Felix] What was Martin saying? - [laughs] It was scary.

Some are afraid stuck in the eyes.

Lorena?

Felix?

Can I call you Felix?

[nods]

So I've touched you.

Well, no. Actually, The assignments are made through a competitive process.

And if someone fails, Volunteers are welcome.

- So you're here because you want to be. - Yes and no. [laughs]

Also because of my thesis.

Post-penitentiary reintegrations of a complex nature.

- And I am your next chapter. - No.

My field focuses on sexual assault.

For me, this…

It's a relief.

Okay, where do we begin? Do we fill out another one of those forms?

No, no, no, no. I have a different approach.

I believe that, in order to reintegrate you into society, The first thing you should do is…

It leaves you with the feeling of being a prisoner, doesn't it?

A prisoner does not decide about his own life. But you did.

The first goals as a citizen They cannot be dictated by a protocol.

Then comes work, routine… All this will come in time.

But…

But first,

We need to know what…

What do you want to do, Felix?

What do you want to get back from your life?

Anonymity. How do we do it?

Some are afraid stuck in the eyes.

¿No?

Well, don't let them look at you.

[eerie music]

[Lorena] Is she your daughter?

[Felix clears his throat] Yes.

AND…

What do you know about her?

Bit.

So you'd like to see it again.

[opening the lock]

Hello!

[Sebas] Hello.

[clink of keys]

[eerie music fades away]

- [Sara] Are you alone? - Yes, my father went to have a pre-drink.

He told me you see each other directly there, in the brass band.

Okay. And you?

- Have you made plans? - Yeah.

And do you already know what you're going to dress up as?

Surprise.

Do you remember the Captain Mars costume?

He could beat Batman and Superman combined.

- ¿No? - [Sara nods]

- How shameless. - It wasn't that bad.

- Mom, it was from the Chinese store. - Well, son, I don't know.

I was never good at it. I'm sorry, I'm choosing the costumes for you.

You don't need to do it anymore.

And it's not necessary either. that you prepare my afternoon snack.

AND…

When did you say you got older?

I don't know, you tell me.

When did you start? Are you spying on my room and my things?

No, Mom. I don't know, I've never given you any reason.

And yet, every so often, You go in, you check everything…

Looking for what?

What are you afraid of?

[increased bolt opening]

[eerie music]

- What's happening? - I don't know.

- [Sara] Isn't she coming? - [Mercedes] Wait.

Dad!

- Dad! - [transition to dramatic music]

[breathes heavily]

Arias was right.

He's a psychopath.

- He doesn't love me. - No, Sara. It's over.

[softly hisses] Calm down.

- He doesn't love me. - That's it, darling, that's it.

- [sighs softly] - [Sara cries]

[Sara continues crying]

[Adult Sara] What am I afraid of?

[cries]

- That you stop trusting me. - [music stops]

That you are suffering and I may not be able to help you.

Don't tell me things.

Until you close the door on me And don't let me in again.

And does it have anything to do with what you experienced? When you were little, with your parents?

You know I don't remember that period.

- I've told you a thousand times. - Yes.

No, seriously.

The problem is mine. I'm the one who has to…

that work on their fears, mm?

Yeah.

I promise to always tell you the truth…

and never again pretend to be Captain Mars.

OK?

- Deal? - Mm.

[suspenseful music] - [distant emergency sirens]

[phone]

Damn. I thought you were suspended.

Almost, but you won't get rid of me. so easily.

The prosecution is on our side.

Come reasonable that we keep an eye on Felix,

even if we forced the procedures.

- They're worried about the social unrest, aren't they? - And to me, world peace.

But what if it turns out to be Felix? And we haven't been on top of it?

- [nods] - Our hair is falling out.

So, are we going back for Gasolino?

Gasoline?

- A nickname we've given him… - I don't want to know.

I want you to listen to this.

[Sara] Irene, I've been thinking about what you told me.

- [uproar] - [lively brass band music plays]

[Sara] I never liked dressing up.

I guess it's because I've been doing this for 25 years wearing a costume.

Sara González's, the psychologist.

A disguise that hides something else, what I really am.

[horn melody plays]

Even so, it is… It's a costume I like, you know?

The one of a happy woman,

that of a perfect mother, who has a good life.

But it's a disguise, of course.

[ominous music]

And I've thought that, somehow,

We all go through life in disguise.

[lively brass band music plays]

Félix Garay disguised himself for years

as a firefighter, as a friend,

from father.

[ominous music]

A monster beneath a mask.

[horn melody plays]

[transition to tense tribal music]

[crawling of the flames]

[Sara] The crime you're investigating He points to him.

But, if you look at it very closely, There are… I don't know, small differences.

Like a costume you can see the seams.

[liquid spilled]

That's the only explanation.

If it's not Felix, He is someone desperate to be like him.

Someone motivated, someone who knows him.

Perhaps a fan or a disciple.

An imitator.
