- Hi. - "Hi," really?

You think it's nice to leave without saying goodbye?

Do you know how cute you looked sleeping?

I couldn't wake you up.

Listen, what happened last night, I mean, just now...

It was good, right?

So, you're calling me to discuss our abilities?

No, I'm not.

I'm joking. And yeah, it was awesome.

Awesome, yeah.

I'm so embarrassed right now.

Oh, right. Sorry. I don't know why I called.

Hold on a second, Juan.

What's going on?

Nothing. There's... an old man on the ground.

Maybe he fell. I'll call you back, okay?

- Sure, don't worry. - Okay, call you back.

Excuse me.

Are you all right?

Are you lost?

Want me to walk you home?

Hey.

Hey!

Wait, hang on!

Wait, please!

What happened?

What were you saying about a man?

It's him. I saw him.

- Who? - The man who took the baby.

- How do you know it's him? - He has the same mask.

Okay. Don't move. I'm on my way.

Clara, where are you?

I'm not really sure. I'm getting to the bridge.

Shit, he's gone.

Okay, I'm coming.

Turn around and wait for me, please.

He looks so familiar. I...

I've seen that face. I don't know where.

Don't follow him. Don't move. Don't do anything. You hear me?

- Okay. - I'm on my way.

Sir!

Help!

Somebody help!

THE CRYSTAL CUCKOO

- She was on the bridge? - Yeah.

- You sure it was her? - Yes, the girl from Madrid.

She was shouting, "Wait!" That's why I paid attention.

- Okay. Thanks, Charo. - Bye, Juan.

CIVIL GUARD

- What's going on? - Shit.

The guy in the mask. The one who took the baby.

Clara saw him. Called me right away.

- Did she see his face? - Yeah, an elderly man.

That's all she said.

- And she's not answering, dammit. - Keep trying.

Do you hear it?

Clara!

Clara!

Fuck!

Fuck!

DONEPEZIL VIRVIT 10 MG TABLETS

Wake up.

Why don't you wake up, little fawn?

- Mom. - Juan.

What's up? Is she still missing?

- Still no news? - Nothing.

We requested permission to perform a search. We're waiting.

Okay. What should I do? Close up the bar?

- Go home in case she turns up? - No. Don't do anything.

As soon as we know something, I'll call.

Don't worry.

I can't just sit back and do nothing.

Mom, please, trust me.

Yeah, okay.

But call as soon as you find her.

Yeah, don't worry.

I have to go. We'll talk later, okay?

Okay, son. Talk to you later.

I'll tell you one thing.

Since that girl arrived, there's been nothing but trouble.

What's wrong with you two?

She could be hurt, and you're here talking crap?

- Where'd they see her? - The Jewish quarter.

I was there this morning,

and I saw someone who caught my eye because they seemed lost, disoriented.

Who was it?

He looked old and seemed a bit out of it,

but I think it was him, that teacher we had at school.

Rafael's uncle?

What was his name?

- Gabriel. - Gabriel. He's the one.

Are you sure?

Yes. Very.

Fucking old man, pick up.

Come on, pick up, prick.

INCOMING CALL

Do you have her?

Did you take her?

Is that you, Eaglet?

If you have her, let her go.

Go away, or we're both screwed.

- I don't understand you. - Gabriel, goddammit!

Do you hear me? Dammit--

Son of a bitch...

Son of a bitch!

Yes, Marta?

Rafa, sorry, but I'm calling my son, and he's not picking up.

I asked him to talk to command. Anything wrong?

I don't know. I think so. It's about Clara.

What's the matter?

People are saying they saw your uncle in the Jewish quarter this morning.

Just where Clara disappeared.

My uncle?

Yes.

They say your uncle's in town, Rafa.

They say Gabriel's back.

- Are they sure it was my uncle? - Yes.

Listen, my husband believed your uncle had done something bad.

I think he was right.

We've gone over that.

What if it was your uncle who took the baby?

What if he took Clara too?

If anything happens, I'll never forgive myself

because I asked her to come here, you understand?

Yeah. We'll find her. I promise.

If you don't find her, I'll look for her, and I will find her.

I'm not losing anybody else, Rafa.

Okay. We'll talk later.

- Okay, thanks. - Bye.

There will be no reinforcements.

They said no?

They say it's too soon and to wait. But I'm not waiting. I can't.

Let me get ten or 15 people from town. We'll search the forest.

I just talked to your mother.

And?

They saw my uncle there this morning.

- Gabriel Durán? - Yes.

Shit...

He was one of the missing people in Carlos's papers.

Which papers?

That's why Clara said he looked familiar. She saw him there.

I'll tell you on the way. We need to go to your uncle's cabin.

Now. Please.

Okay. Let's go.

Out of my way.

I said, get out of my way!

Don't move.

Stay there.

Son of a bitch...

Run, little fawn.

Please.

- Drop the knife! - Don't move!

Don't move!

Gabriel!

Drop it!

Drop the knife!

Throw it away, Gabriel!

Don't move!

Don't move!

- Gabriel! Put it down! - Please.

No!

Clara. Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

It's over.

It's over, you hear me? It's all over.

Stay here. Call the station. Tell them to come!

CIVIL GUARD

AMBULANCE

Sure you're okay?

- Copy that. We'll give the order. - Yes.

The entire perimeter's covered.

The officers will ask you a few questions.

Okay.

Did you see anything?

Did he say anything unusual?

Why don't you wake up, little fawn?

He took my ID and put it in a box.

The lid had a crystal bird.

Yes, we found it.

It's full of women's IDs.

The oldest dates back to the '60s.

Most of them are down as missing.

SPAIN PASSPORT

Silvia Luna...

Your aunt Magda.

My aunt?

They also found photos.

One of them shows the Old Man's Tree.

What's that?

It's where the baby was left. That's what we call it around here.

They'll start searching for the bodies there.

- Here, Eloy. See if you like them. - Thanks, Marta.

CIVIL GUARD

Don't worry, Mom. She's fine.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

It's over now.

You're okay.

- I've got you. - I know.

Mom, can you come inside for a second, please?

- Why? What happened? - Come with me.

We found something in Gabriel's cabin.

What?

Evidence, documents...

We think he killed several women.

Aunt Magda might have been one of them.

- Then your father... - Dad was right.

It was him.

We also found Silvia Luna's ID.

It was him too, Mom.

I'm sorry.

No, son. No.

- Don't worry. - I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Dad was innocent. I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

It's all right, honey.

Did he kill him?

- Did he kill my husband? - We don't know yet.

But he may have, yes.

Find him, please, Rafa.

I want to bury him.

I want to say goodbye.

- I'm so sorry. - It's all right.

We got something!

Another body.

Clara says she heard a cell phone.

What?

She says she heard Gabriel on the phone with someone.

- Were any cell phones found there? - No.

- No, nothing. - Nothing?

They haven't found phone lines in his name.

They are looking at everything, Juan.

Yes, of course.

Okay.

We have to let them do their job.

We're not helping here.

Yeah, let's go.

This secondary school teacher born in Yesques

is now one of the most infamous criminals in the country.

Sources tell us there are six or seven victims,

although only two bodies have been found so far.

The Civil Guard is working around the clock to find bodies

in this part of the Yesques woods, a village...

Why are you watching this?

Right. That's better.

Here, herbal tea.

- If it doesn't help, I'm out of ideas. - If it has clonazepam, I'm good.

No, just herbs.

- Although passionflower can hit you hard. - Yeah.

- Which continent is Egypt in? - Africa.

Correct as well.

It's late for a visit.

- I'll see who it is. - Okay.

Here's the question. Which planet is closest to the Sun?

Venus, Mercury, or Mars?

Hi, Marta.

Hi.

I wanted to see how Clara's doing.

Ask her yourself. Come in.

She's in the living room. You know where it is.

Yeah, I do.

I'll stay out in the patio.

Marta.

I heard they are looking for Miguel near the Old Man's Tree.

I hope they find him.

So do I.

Thank you.

- When do you go back to Madrid? - Tomorrow.

Yeah.

My friend saw the news and is totally freaking out.

- And you? Are you okay? - Yeah.

You?

Yeah. It barely hurts now.

Sure you're okay?

I think so.

But I can't...

I can't stop thinking about that mattress.

What?

The fact that those girls died on that same mattress where I was.

With that bastard drooling next to them.

And that...

the revulsion I felt, they must have felt it too.

And the...

the fear...

of dying I felt...

they must have felt it too.

But... I don't know why, I am here.

And they are not.

Hello, Sergeant.

This is Lieutenant Romero from the Judicial Police.

You gave me your number and said to call with any developments.

We are investigating the medication found in the cabin,

and it seems it was purchased in France.

We don't know exactly where yet,

but we'll get in touch with the French police

to see if we can find something.

These people are lone wolves,

but we can't rule out that someone helped him.

Please, call me tomorrow.

You were his nephew, and any information about him

will help us.

Goodbye, Sergeant.

GABRIEL DURÁN, THE YESQUES PREDATOR

How many more bodies have they found?

Two.

Identifying the remains will take some time.

We have to wait.

Yeah.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning, Clara.

I'll get you some coffee, see if it's still hot.

Sorry, I'm terrible at packing.

Want it with milk? Should I warm some up?

No, it's fine. I'll take it black. Thanks.

You're up early.

Rafa came to say goodbye to you.

By the way, I didn't get to thank you.

What for?

If you hadn't shown up, I may not have lived to tell it.

So, thank you.

Must have been a tough decision.

What?

- To take that shot. - Oh...

- He was your uncle, after all. - Yes.

In the heat of the moment, you don't think.

- You just do it. - Right.

You're off to Madrid now, right? Four-hour drive?

Yeah, if I don't get stuck in traffic.

You have time, right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Did I tell you Rafa was Carlos's godfather?

No, I didn't know that.

They used to walk in the woods. He really loved you.

And I loved him.

What was it you used to call him back when he was little?

What was it? Something like puppy or...?

- I don't know. - Sparrow? I don't remember.

Sparrow?

What was it?

Eaglet.

You always called him Eaglet.

Eaglet?

Rafa helped Carlos a lot with his condition

when he was a teenager.

When I was in the cabin, Gabriel said that.

Eaglet.

- While he was on the phone with someone. - Yeah? You sure?

I bet you were really nervous, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Of course.

Well, I'm off to see if there's any news.

- You're leaving? - Yes.

- Have a good trip. - Yeah.

- Come back soon, you hear? - Okay.

Come visit us, yeah?

- Bye. - Let me know whatever happens.

Of course.

- Rafa, one thing. - Yes?

About the stretches your uncle did in the woods with the baby.

Yes, you told us.

Could it be that your uncle taught them to Carlos?

They were the same.

No...

No, I don't think so.

Then you taught them to him?

That would make the most sense, right?

Your uncle taught you. You taught Carlos.

That can't be, Clara. Rafa didn't talk to his uncle.

Eaglet. I'm sure I heard that.

Enough, okay?

Was it you?

You're the one who called him.

- He was talking to you. - Is this what you want?

Really?

- Is this what you want? - Rafa, what's going on?

I'm tired.

That's what's going on.

What...

What... What are you doing?

Let's sit down.

Please, Marta.

Rafa...

I said sit down.

What's this, Rafa? What's going on?

We are friends, Rafa.

Almost family.

We know each other so well.

What...

What's the matter?

I killed Silvia Luna.

I raped her.

And then I killed her.

I don't know how to explain it.

My uncle helped me...

get rid of Silvia's body.

Miguel found out.

No.

I didn't know what to do.

And I shot him.

No. That's a lie.

Forgive me.

Have you been lying to me all these years?

And you killed Miguel?

Your friend?

Forgive me.

And how... can you live with that?

I don't know.

I tried to kill myself many times, but...

Rafa, look at me.

Look at me.

Kill yourself.

Now.

Kill yourself.

Do it.

It's just... I can't do it.

So... Sergeant Rafael Durán confessed?

Yes.

He said he killed Silvia Luna.

That he raped her.

Then he said he... killed my husband.

Miguel Ferrer.

And what happened after he confessed?

He picked up his gun and pointed it at Clara.

He had it aimed at me.

Marta saved my life.

Did she... lunge herself at the sergeant?

Yes. Didn't hesitate.

He was a madman.

He said he was going to kill her.

I lunged at him.

We struggled,

and a shot rang out.

They were pushing each other.

I heard a shot and Rafael fell to the ground.

And... when I looked at my hands,

I was holding the gun.

Clara tried to save him, but there was nothing left to do.

I went to help him, but...

he was already dead.

He was already dead.

Thank you.

- Call me when you get home. - Of course.

Thank you.

Take care, will you?

You too.

I'll walk her to the car, okay?

She'll be alright, won't she?

Yes, it'll come to nothing.

Everything points to self-defense. The judge hasn't brought charges.

Besides, they found suicide notes at Rafa's.

With confessions to everything.

It seems he had been thinking of taking his life for a while.

Yeah.

Clara, one thing.

Something in your statements seems very strange to me.

I read that my mother and Rafa struggled.

Yes.

Okay.

- Lend you a hand? - Sure.

Thanks. This too.

All set.

Hey, one more thing.

I thought I might go to Madrid for a long weekend.

- For a change of scenery. - A change of scenery, huh?

- Yeah. Well, if it's fine with you. - Yes.

Yes, it sounds good.

- Okay. - Okay.

- We'll talk. - Have a good trip.

- Bye. - Bye.
