Original subtitles

Come on! Attention, everybody!

Come on, gather round. Hurry!

Clock's ticking. Come on.

First of all, thank you for coming

and helping out in the search for this girl. Thank you.

The baby's mother saw some movement in this part of the woods.

If I get that bastard, he's dead.

Braulio, we're going to find your granddaughter.

Let's see.

Roads have been closed since last night.

Whoever took that baby must still be in these woods.

We'll get organized, and, if you find any clues,

please, let us know. All right?

Come on, Civil Defense.

Come on. I'll give you walkie-talkies, and he'll assign you a search area.

Look here.

Well, you know the drill, right?

You'll go from here to here...

Hi.

I think I saw you yesterday by the lake.

I'm Clara.

María.

Nice to meet you.

I assume they haven't told you about me, right?

Who?

Carlos's family. His mother.

No.

Shotguns stay in the car.

- We don't want any accidents. - And if we see the guy?

Then use your walkies.

That's what you've got them for. Get going.

They hurt him a lot.

Clara, we should get started.

Hi, María.

- Who is she? - María.

She was Carlos's girlfriend. Well, girlfriend, friend...

Whatever you want to call it.

- Shall we? - Whenever you're ready.

My mother asked me to keep an eye on you. Let's go.

Careful not to touch anything.

All clear over here.

You know, it's hard for me to be like this.

- Like what? - Quiet.

It's one of my quirks. Silence makes me very uncomfortable.

I'd rather we talked.

What do you want to talk about?

About how you don’t like me being here, for instance.

That would do.

I just don't get it, really. But it must make sense to you.

Well, your mother invited me.

Right.

And I'd like to know what Carlos was like.

That's what I don't get.

Let's go.

THE CRYSTAL CUCKOO

Mom!

What's wrong?

- What are you doing? - Nothing. Just playing.

I'm here, sweetie. Calm down.

Let's get you up. Let's see. Let me see.

I said not to play with the ball.

He asked me to!

Can you? Come, sweetie. One, two, and...

Three. Here we go.

Let's go. Does it hurt a lot?

Oh, my sweetie.

Thank you.

Do we know how the fire started?

Not yet.

Luisa and her husband came here a lot, right?

From time to time.

I guess less so recently. I hear they weren't getting along.

- I'm going to the storeroom, Toñi. - Okay.

Toñi.

- Yeah? - I have a question.

You see everything here. I bet you saw something.

I stay out of other people's lives. I have enough to deal with.

Me too, and you know it, but this is important.

You must’ve noticed something about them.

When they came, they sat there at the back.

That's all I know.

You never saw anything strange?

- I'm going to get in trouble. - You won't.

Let's see.

They argued. A lot. She used to drink.

And one night...

Nobody told me this, I saw it myself.

I was about to close. They were going to their car.

The husband...

- Well, those things happen. - What do you mean by "things"?

Know what my mother said when I introduced Isidro as my boyfriend?

That what mattered most was that he wouldn't hit me.

And I've been lucky, but not everyone has.

Miguel. Hi, Toñi.

Miguel, Marta's calling you.

- What? - Well, she's calling me.

Shit.

- Later. - Everything okay?

- I'll put it on your tab. - Yes.

- See you. - Can I get you anything?

- Coffee, Toñi, please. - Sure.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm good.

If you feel unwell at any time, we can go back.

- It's no problem. - I know.

Okay.

Did you know that Carlos was an organ donor?

No. I had no idea. In fact, I thought he couldn't be.

They found something!

- What is it? What did they find? - Easy, Braulio.

- It's my granddaughter's. - We don't know yet.

- Has anyone touched it? - No.

Okay. Durán here. We found the hat.

- They did something to her. - The hat. Relax.

- They killed her, Rafa! - Braulio, you don't know that.

I should've looked for her last night!

- Let's get out of here. - Let go!

Dad?

Dad, what happened?

Hi. What did they say?

He broke his ankle. They did a lot of MRIs.

Carlos, that's some cast you've got, huh?

- Does it hurt, son? - A little.

They left your toesies out.

What was it? What happened? Juan?

He stepped on the ball wrong. I was goalie.

You're the big brother. Watch him.

- It's not my fault he breaks! - That's enough.

Don't talk to your mom like that. You know better.

- Relatives of Carlos Ferrer? - That's us.

Stay here.

- Hello, good morning. - Hi.

Your son, Carlos, has had several accidents like this one.

Well, he's a kid.

We do come to the ER a lot, that's true.

This may sound odd, but did you notice anything unusual when he was a baby?

Um... I don't know. He cried a lot.

- Did you consult a pediatrician? - Yes, several.

Some said he wasn't latching on my breast correctly.

Others said it was colic. I don't know. Why? What's going on?

The X-rays reveal more lesions. Many more.

He has tiny fractures in the shoulders, ribs...

They've healed already, but the shape and location

suggest they happened in the birth canal.

- How? - I don't understand, Doctor.

Carlos's entire history of fractures is not normal.

I can't tell you for sure now, but he should see a specialist.

I can recommend some.

- Yes, please. - Here are his X-rays.

- Thank you. - Have a good day.

- Can I come in, Sergeant? - Sure, Ferrer.

I heard your kid's sick. How's he doing?

They are running tests. We don't know yet.

Well, if you need some time off, don't worry, okay?

We can manage without you.

Thank you. I'm finishing the report on the fire.

- You hadn't wrapped it up yet? - No, Sergeant.

Come on, sit down.

I was with Laura Márquez earlier.

- Do you know her? - Mm.

She's at headquarters.

Handles domestics and abuse cases.

Right.

Luisa had filed a complaint against Gabriel for abuse.

But she withdrew that complaint, right?

This story is as old as the hills, Ferrer.

A couple has a heated argument, wife makes him lose it,

then she regrets it.

In this case, she ended up dead.

The forensic report just came in.

Have you read it?

The judge also signed it.

- No, Sergeant. - I'll summarize it for you.

Luisa Iribarri was heartbroken and took one too many sleeping pills.

And the fire?

Apparently, she was smoking in bed and fell asleep.

The bedspread caught fire, and it spread to the curtains.

I have witnesses who saw Gabriel and Luisa on the street.

Their attitude wasn't exactly--

Whatever, but this was an accident.

Close that file now, please.

He lied to my face and played the victim.

Home matters are solved at home.

End of story.

Is there anything else?

No, Sergeant.

Good.

If I don't see you at school, I'll stop by.

Take care, dear.

Good morning.

- Hi, Miguel. Can I help you? - Call me Officer Ferrer, please.

And turn the radio down so we can talk in peace.

Thank you.

You were driving over the speed limit on this road.

I hadn't realized.

- It's not a good place to get distracted. - Sorry, Officer.

I was lost in my thoughts.

Your wife filed a complaint against you.

- What? - For abuse, and you failed to mention it.

It was withdrawn. What's this about?

She reported you and then took it back. A bit odd, isn't it?

Are you accusing me of something?

Because if not, fine me or let me go.

- Calm down, please. - I'm very calm. Are you?

Get out of the car with your papers.

Where were you the day your wife died?

In my cabin.

I go there when I want to think.

The cabin in the woods?

Can anybody confirm that?

No.

Do you think I killed her?

Did you?

Of course.

That day, I forced her to drink.

I said to her, "Honey, take a few pills."

And then I set everything on fire. Sounds credible, right?

If...

I'd lost my wife, I wouldn't be cracking jokes.

It must be killing you.

Inside.

Here we are, you and I, on a lonely road.

You're dying to beat me up, aren't you?

I can smell it on you, Miguel.

You're like a caged animal.

Your sister, that must've been hard.

Don't mention her.

In all these years as a teacher, I've seen many broken kids like you.

What your father did to your sister wasn't your fault.

Don't you ever mention her again.

Careful.

If you need anything else, ask me, okay?

Thanks, Marta.

Of course.

We'll keep it in mind.

Of course.

Very well.

Bye now.

What?

If this little girl doesn't show up, all hell will break loose.

Where are you looking for her?

Where we found her little hat.

There are caves, grottoes...

Morillo's son, Pepe, was here for breakfast today.

He says he knows who kidnapped the girl.

What did he say?

That they saw the Cat in the area.

María's father?

I can't imagine Paco stealing a baby, really.

- Maybe a crate of beers. - That's what I said too.

- Who could have taken her? - I don't know.

It's the same thing as before.

What if it's happening again, Rafa?

I gotta go.

Okay.

I looked up the whole family on Google.

Wait, let me get my earphones on.

Okay.

Why did you look up the family?

Girl, because I don't trust anyone.

If you had done the same, maybe you wouldn't be there.

You told me the father had disappeared, right?

Yes.

Did they tell you what happened?

They said not to ask. It's a sensitive issue.

Okay.

It turns out there are articles on Miguel Ferrer.

And what happened to him is an unsolved mystery.

It was all very strange.

I'll send you a video, okay? Just a sec.

MÓNICA SENT YOU A VIDEO

- Got it. - It's a bit long.

Go to minute 1:15.

Miguel Ferrer's car

was found abandoned on a forest road.

- Listen now. - The disappearance of this Civil Guard

is yet another tragedy for this town,

which started the week with another disappearance,

that of Silvia Luna.

Um... Moni, sorry. I have to leave you. I'll call you later.

- Shall we go back? - Let's.

We have to make the last hours of daylight count.

- Stay and finish that. I'll wait outside. - Coming.

All clear over here!

I don't know if you mind my asking...

How did you get along with Carlos?

Well. Very well, actually.

I mean, in spite of his illness, obviously, we...

We had a good time together.

Mainly when we were younger, you know?

- Nice. - Yeah.

And how old were you when your father disappeared?

I was eight. Almost nine.

And Carlos was six.

I'm very sorry.

Well...

- Durán here. Do you copy? - Sergeant?

Do you copy?

Sergeant, do you copy?

- ...zone... - I'll go up to find a signal.

I'll be right back. Don't move.

- Okay. - Okay?

Sergeant?

Hello, hello, hello?

Hi, do you copy?

Hello, hello, hello?

Juan!

Juan!

Zip up your coat, it's getting chilly.

So, what leaves did your teacher ask for?

Um, I don't know. Leaves.

Yeah, but there are many kinds of leaves. Deciduous, evergreen...

Juan.

Your brother's going to get well.

And it's not your fault.

Mom says it is.

Mom was worried yesterday,

but we all know how much you love your brother, okay?

Hey, look.

Did you see?

Tracks.

Look.

Do you see it?

Careful, don't scare it away.

It's gone.

Do you like it here?

Your aunt loved it too.

She always brought me to forage for mushrooms and...

to collect snails when it rained.

She taught me everything about nature.

And what happened to her?

Let's go to the car, rain's coming.

Come.

- Do you remember Grandpa? - No.

Look.

My father wasn't a good person, Juan.

He...

had a lot of pent-up rage and...

took it out on the people closest to him,

like your aunt and Grandma.

And I couldn't do anything because I was little.

And because I wasn't brave.

So...

One day, your aunt got tired of all that and left home.

And I never saw her again.

Never?

No.

Now, I wouldn't allow anything to happen to her, Juan.

And that's why...

you and I have to be brave

and protect women from men like Grandpa.

Huh? Do you promise?

Hi, Clara. How are you?

No, don't get up. There, easy.

Where am I?

At the regional hospital.

You fainted. They brought you from Yesques.

And the baby?

She's doing well.

Don't worry about that now.

How long has it been since the transplant?

Almost five months.

Do you take all your medication?

Yes, um... corticosteroids, CNI, and antiproliferative.

Before I fell, I felt palpitations.

That could be a symptom of rejection.

Or overexertion.

Your heart seems to be working normally.

We'll keep you a bit longer under observation just in case,

but I recommend you call your doctor as soon as possible to consult with them.

If there's a problem or something's failing,

it's crucial you be monitored.

Okay, thanks.

You barely made it. Again.

What are you...

I work here.

Oh...

What happened with the baby?

She's with her mother.

She was dehydrated and very cold, but she's better now.

They didn't do anything to her.

Are you sure?

Sit up, I'll remove your IV.

Can I ask you something?

How long had you and Carlos been together?

Since we were 16.

He was your first boyfriend.

- So nosy. - Sorry.

If you need a report or a note, ask there,

with my colleagues in Admissions.

Okay.

María, one thing.

You told me Carlos's family had hurt him a lot. Why?

- What did they say about the accident? - Nothing.

What is it?

It wasn't an accident.

Carlos committed suicide.

His illness made him unstable.

Some days he was an angel. Others, he barely talked.

I loved him, but he wasn't an easy person.

He became obsessed.

- With what? - His father's disappearance.

He thought something strange was going on in Yesques.

Disappearances.

And that what happened to his father was part of something bigger,

something that had been going on in the woods for a long time

Are you sure the guy you saw was wearing a mask?

Yes, it was a bird.

In this town, everybody owns a Tamborada costume.

- It could be anyone. - Right.

I don't know. I mean...

Who kidnaps a baby and then leaves it safe and sound in the woods?

- It makes no sense. - I know...

Hey, Clara, make sure you drop by the police station tomorrow

and finish your statement, okay?

Okay.

Juan, I talked to María.

- About Carlos's accident. - Don't let her put ideas in your head.

She loved him very much, didn't she?

Yes, I'm not saying she didn't.

But you can love someone and still not be good for them.

She thinks he killed himself.

Well, Carlos did not leave any notes.

So we'll never know.

Darling, how are you?

- Good. - Are you all right?

- Yes. - Sure?

Relax, Mom, she's tougher than she seems.

And you? She was your responsibility. What if something happened to her?

Anyway, good night, you two. You get some rest.

And you.

Let's go in.

Take a hot shower and I'll make you dinner.

- No, I'm fine. Don't worry. - Are you sure?

Really. It was nothing.

Come in.

I've been thinking...

If I open the bar longer hours,

we can cover the first insurance payments.

That way we can get them started on running all the tests Carlos needs.

Because if we wait for the public system... What do you think?

But you already work long hours.

Right, but I don't mind.

- Listen. - What?

What happened today with Gabriel Durán?

With Durán? I... I stopped him for a check.

Miguel, I was told they saw you about to beat him up.

I talked to Juan. Told him about Magda.

- What? Why? - Because he's old enough.

But he's only eight, he's a child.

What did you tell him?

What do you think?

That he needs to defend women like his aunt

from bastards like my father.

What else?

And like Gabriel Durán, who's an abuser.

That's not the answer, Miguel.

The world's full of bastards.

But we can't teach our sons that, Miguel.

That's no way to defend anyone.

We need to educate them.

Come.

We've already talked about this, Miguel.

I don't like that part of you.

That anger you have in there.

It scares me, Miguel.

I'm sorry.

I know.

Besides, now we need the money and we can't lose your income.

What if they fire you for going around acting all macho?

Oh, that's what this is about, huh?

You're something else.

MARIADIAZ98 IS NOW FOLLOWING YOU

FOLLOW BACK

- Ready? - Yes.

Okay. Move back a little, so you can get the whole thing.

Get all of me.

- Okay? - Yeah, go ahead.
