Original subtitles

"Since when do you have a gun? -Since always."

Im a policeman. All... -A former one.

I dont doubt you, but something doesnt...

Excuse me.

If you dont hurry up with custody, I'll go to the military school.

I cant ask for the custody.

Youre having another one now. Let me take care of mine.

Are you going back to Gijón?

Samuel gave us a rough time for many years.

I thought you had killed him, thats why I testified against you,

and Id have done it again. -Ill fuck up your life.

You let a murderer escape and Im going to prove it.

I know Jorge. He needs our help.

I did what you told me.

You had more than just a working relationship with him.

I need you to get me Jorges address.

"Yes. Theyll all fall down.

A few young girls, and we'll get all the information we need."

If you don't come for me, I'll tell everything!

I knew I had to call you.

What makes you think hes innocent?

You spent a week of your life with him.

You're not fairer just because you trust people.

"Abraham has died. Tomás killed him."

What are you doing here? Are you drinking again?

Im getting married, and Im old enough.

Besides, youre going to be my best man.

Samuel, youre not to blame for anything.

"I dont have time. Lets get to it. Can you or not?

Dont worry, tomorrow Im meeting the Cripple. So count on that.

Great. So, after youve met, call me and tell me..."

THE CRIPPLE

Aurelio?

"Yes, Samuel?" -Do ballistics

have the report about the bullet that killed Jorge?

"They just called me to tell me theyre sending it."

Can I get a copy? -"If you dont mind,

Ill finish my own business and Ill do it later.

Dont worry. Thanks, my friend. -"See you."

Whats this?

A case of when Marta was a public defender.

I stayed because you were a mess, but I see youre back in shape.

How many more case are you going to take?

I asked for a little time. -To be with your family.

Marta helped me with the other cases. I this I owe her.

Theres something else.

I know you.

Look, I have the chance

to do justice with the superintendent

who sent me to jail for ten years.

Hes still fucking with a lot of people.

The person who killed Vanesa Méntrida was one of his men.

How long will that be?

Those trials last years.

Our son will be here in six months.

Ill collect evidence, leave it all up to the judge

and go back to Gijón with you and my son.

Swear that, if it gets dangerous, you'll quit.

Of course.

Gloria Martínez, 65. A widow and a pensioner.

"She was alone at home the morning of January 15, 2017."

Get out of my house!

I said get out of my house!

Dont shout, madam.

Police?

A man came in my house. -We didnt come for that, madam,

but to take you to the station. The man you stabbed has died.

Motherfucker, Ill kill you!

Crazy bitch!

Ill kill you!

Motherfucker!

"What Gloria thought it was a knife

turned out to be a screwdriver."

Bosco and Gloria were the only tenants in that building.

Hers was a rent-controlled flat. He was in charge of the odd jobs

in that building and others in the area.

He was a mean guy. He had several reports from his neighbours.

Your allegation of manslaughter is very well supported.

Look at the psychological report. They took the MMPI.

You know what that is?

Yes, sure. A test to find mental disorders.

I took it years ago. -And what did they tell you?

Sorry, its not my business. Im sorry.

No, its okay. My problem was with drugs,

but my brain is perfect.

What results did Gloria get?

Id finish earlier telling you what she didnt get.

Anxiety, depression, paranoia, phobias...

They pictured her as a danger to society and to herself.

Shes just killed a man and shes under arrest.

She couldnt have taken it well. -Ask for a new report.

Ill ask for the testimony of her son,

daughter-in-law and old neighbours.

They must tell us what the real Gloria was like.

Whats up, Glori?

Ive got it.

Its only got half the balance.

And this is a present.

What about you? Did you get my thing?

Yes.

Remember theyre very strong. Be careful.

Yes.

Ricardo Andrade, Glorias son.

Nice to meet you. -Me too.

Mum!

Hi, Gloria.

Meet Samuel Caronte, my associate.

Nice to meet you. -Me too, Gloria.

Look, Gloria, I had the chance to read your record,

but I need to ask you some questions.

I wont lie to you. I didnt want to kill that man.

I only wanted to defend myself, so that he left.

I didn't want to.

Calm down, mum. -Im really sorry.

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dream with him.

He comes and wants to apologize,

to me. -Thats it, okay?

Youve always lived in that house, havent you?

Yes. Since I got married.

In that house...

In that house I was very happy.

I havent had any other home.

When did you meet Bosco?

Four years ago. When he came to live there, in the building.

Everything got worse right after he got there.

Why? -He didnt do his job well.

He treated the neighbours bad,

and the building started to be filled with seedy-looking people.

The whole neighbourhood went to shit.

If she had listened to me, we wouldnt be here now.

What do you mean? -I asked him a thousand times

to leave that house and come to live with us.

Right, but your wife... -She agreed.

That place wasnt for you anymore. You're so stubborn.

Ive told you Im not moving to your house,

so stop once and for all!

Im sorry...

Im sorry.

I wasnt like this, but this jail is killing me.

If I could get out of here...

Please.

Please.

Hello, Caronte.

Listen, Im so sorry about your latest case.

Who could imagine that, after getting him the third grade,

hed finish his victim off.

It doesnt happen often, but when it happens...

Good morning.

Gloria Martínez Peña, stand up, please.

I inform you of your right not to testify against yourself

and not to plead guilty. Do you plead guilty of the crime

that appears in the prosecutions indictment,

Bosco Santirsos murder?

No.

Will you testify?

No. -Sit down, please.

In that case,

the prosecutor can proceed with witnesses and evidence.

I call to the stand Jacinto Balbuena López,

of Balbuena Administrators.

We are in charge of that building and others in the district.

Bosco was in charge of the maintenance tasks.

Did he have any work for January 15, 2017?

Yes, to change the differentials in the flats of that building.

Were the tenants and owners notified?

They got a letter, and there was a sign next to the letterboxes.

Gloria knew Bosco would get in her house that day.

With your permission. Thats speculation.

Sustained. Dont answer. That comment shall not be considered.

Ill ask you in a different way.

Do you think Gloria had been properly notified

that Bosco would get in her house that day?

Yes.

According to the criminalistics report, the door wasnt forced.

We can guess it was Gloria who opened the door to Bosco.

With your permission! -I didnt open!

He snuck into my house! -So he didnt,

as the defendant says. -The objection is sustained.

Any other questions? -No, your honour.

The defence can proceed questioning the witness.

Did Gloria confirm she had received the information

about that change of differential?

No. -Do you know if the victim

had come in Glorias flat in a previous occasion

without her being in the flat?

He had to, one day she left the water running

and the water got to the floor below. I gave him permission.

We could have called the firemen,

but I preferred hed do it. -And how did he do it?

It seems he used a card.

It seems it doesnt leave marks in the lock.

Did you get any complaints from the neighbours about Bosco?

Just from a few of that building, such as her.

In other places, Bosco didnt have any problems.

He was a good worker.

No more questions, your honour. -With your consent.

I call to the stand doctor Raquel Mendoza Gómez,

medical examiner of the case.

The blood is a match,

and the wound corresponds to the dimensions of the knife.

What can you tell us about the way the stab was made?

Its what we call an accordion wound.

It happens when the depth of the stab

is longer than the weapons length.

And how can that happen?

When a knife is stuck with great force,

it pushes the abdomen in,

and it gets deeper than normal.

Ive seen people pierced by a simple table knife.

In this case, the knife made a notch

in the victims spine,

although it came through the belly. Its impressive.

What does this type of stab indicate?

Usually rage and anger.

Its a violent stab which demands a lot of force.

Its characteristic of crimes of passion.

And due to fear in a defensive reaction?

Its not your turn. Dont make me call you to order.

Im sorry, your honour. -You may answer the question.

Well, fear can keep someone paralyzed.

In some case, due to the shot of adrenaline,

it can cause violent reactions.

The jury has got reasonable doubt.

I dont think this is the case. -With your permission.

Thats a speculation.

Tell us what you found on the victims right hand.

There was a second wound.

Its a defensive wound that indicates that the defendant

tried to stab the victim more than once.

That doesnt sound like a defence.

Shes lying! -Mum, calm down.

I swear to God shes lying!

Lawyers, try to calm your client down. Please.

Breath and be quiet, please. -Yes. Sorry.

Ricardo, did you speak to your mother about those stabs?

Yes, sure, but she insists it was only one,

and that Bosco jumped on her. -Ricardo! The child.

Were already late. -Oh, yes.

Susana, my wife. -Nice to meet you.

We have to take our son to the physiotherapist.

Hes got the brittle bone disease.

Dont worry. -Come on, lets go.

See you later.

The judges not going to adjourn.

Wed better have a bite.

Gloria is very tired, its very late.

I told her,

but Boscos wife has asked for the day off in the supermarket

and it has to be today.

Honey. -"Hi, Natalia.

Listen, the day is more complicated than I expected."

"I dont know why I stayed here."

I opened the tuna one, but you might want it.

Kolya? Is there something wrong?

Will you help me with the cream?

Grazing at this time?

The ballistics report. -Thanks, mate.

And a bonus: the objects Jorge had on him.

These phones are only used by those who dont want to be located:

drug traffickers, hitmen, gangs...

What about the bullet? -The gun wasnt registered.

It hasnt been used in any other crime, but the bullet is weird.

Its a Makarov 9 x 18 millimetre.

Russian. -The Russian invented it

during the cold war, so their enemies couldnt use it.

Not all guns can shoot them.

Theyre very hard to find.

Thanks for all this, mate. But I must ask for another favour.

Will you pay me a salary?

Complaints against Bosco Santirso, all of them dismissed.

You want to know if there are real motives to dismiss them.

Indeed.

Will you pay for this?

Its much better, and there arent any new bites.

Mum washed the sheets. She went to bed very late.

She loves you a lot, right? And she worries a lot about you.

Yes, but she spends the whole day in the shop,

while Im at home.

Is Caronte coming?

Well, no. Ive been stood up.

Have you had lunch?

No.

How long did your relationship with Bosco last?

Four years. -Did you see him fighting

or arguing with any neighbours during that period?

No. I never saw any of that.

Did he told you he didnt get on well with anyone?

Yes.

With her.

Did he tell you why?

Look, that woman is crazy

and bitter, and had it in for my Bosco,

because she didn't like his looks. She took it with him.

You took it with him. -Theyre valuations

and speculations.

Can you illustrate that with any facts?

Yes.

That phone and those clothes arent cheap.

That witch sent my Bosco a message.

He sent it to me so I could flip.

He erased it, but I didnt.

Did you know anything?

No.

"You think youre a macho with those who are weak, right?

But you dont scare me.

If I ever see you near my house, Ill kill you!

Understand? Ill kill you!"

Why didnt you tell us?

Because I promised...

someone. -Who?

Gloria, if youre not sincere with us, we cant help you.

Lets go.

Pedro.

A neighbour.

He was the last one who left.

He was a very good friend to my husband,

and he had always taken care of me since he died.

What did you promise him?

That message is not complete.

You think youre a macho with those who are weak, right?

But you dont scare me.

If I ever see you near my house, Ill kill you!

Understand? Ill kill you!

I wont let you beat me up like you did to Pedro,

because I will defend myself. Son of a bitch!

What happened to Pedro?

It happened three months before Bosco came into my house.

"I came back from shopping and heard some screams."

Will you take care of this?

Spend some dough and call a plumber, asshole.

Dont raise your voice, please. -Dont you want me to do it?

If youre in trouble, you know what to do, asshole!

Stop complaining like a fucking little girl!

I can report you for this.

Report me? You can report my balls!

You know what I can do to you? -Stop it!

Leave him alone!

Mind your fucking life, old woman.

Im up to the hilt with both of you!

Now lets go and solve this.

"The next thing I knew was that..."

Pedro had fallen down the stairs and had broken his arm.

But...

more things broke that day.

Wait, Miguel. Here, the keys to the van.

Put them in my pocket.

Why dont you report him?

What good did reporting him to the others?

Look, Im sorry, Gloria, but Im fed up.

Fed up and scared, for me and my family.

I only want to disappear,

so that bastard doesnt know about us anymore.

But he cant get away with it.

It isnt only Bosco. Theres more.

Please, for the memory of your husband,

you must promise.

Youll never tell anyone about this, all right? Promise.

"And I promised."

I thought that itd be enough with the reports from the neighbours.

Those reports are useless. They were dismissed.

Do you know where Pedro lives? -No.

And his surnames?

Rodríguez...

I dont remember the second.

Glorias testimony is not enough. We must find Pedro no matter what.

There must be a thousand Pedro Rodríguez in Madrid.

We need more information. Lets check the lease.

Ill talk to the property agency. -Ill check the property registry,

if it's registered. -Theyll give you the run-around.

Im the one with contacts. -Yes? And who am I?

The sketchy one.

Bye. -Bye.

Juan. Lets see if you can do me a favour.

Hi.

Hi. Wheres Marta?

On the phone.

And you are...?

Caronte, her associate. Have you got an appointment?

Hi, dad.

Oh, sorry.

I was just leaving.

Nice to meet you.

Bye.

Since when do you have an associate?

Weve just begun.

Are you kidding me? That guys not a lawyer.

Do all the lawyers have to be like you?

But, where did you get him from? -We make a good team.

Thats all that should worry you.

I dont know whether to ask him for legal advice or to get in a disco.

Why do you have to talk like that about everybody?

You made such a decision without asking me.

You know nothing about him. Why, for a change,

dont you trust me and let me do things my own way?

It is a bit late.

What if mum arrived and shes scared?

Well, dont worry.

Im sure she read the note we left.

Is it fine like this?

Very well. Ill see you another day, cutie.

Bye, cutie.

Hi, good evening.

We went for a walk. -Kolya!

We also went for a bite, he was a bit hungry...

Im home.

How are you, honey?

Ill buy you dinner in a Persian restaurant near here.

Bundle up, its very cold.

Whats this?

Its Kolyas. He was here. He was alone and bored.

Did you know his mother is turning tricks?

No, I didnt. How do you know? -I saw her with a customer.

She was lucky her son didnt see her, by some miracle.

I dont understand. Shes got a shop.

Maybe thats not enough.

Who knows...

I feel sorry. For her, and especially for the kid.

Ive got my ticket for tomorrow.

Hey.

Im sorry.

I dont want you to go like that.

How was the expertise?

As you can see, Glorias improved a lot

in comparison with the previous assessment.

Is she under treatment? -Just behaviour therapy.

If she was on medication,

the results of this report would be invalid for what you want.

15 MISSED CALLS, DAD

You and me can make a lot of money with all this.

If youre right, there must be more

and you can get a tidy sum, understand?

Exactly.

Right. Tell them what you want. Whatever you want.

Get me a gun.

If its as good as you say, let them know well ask for more,

large scale orders.

Come on, dont fuck me up, please!

You like dough more than any other thing.

Dont you trust me?

Thats right, of course.

Thats what Im telling you, jeez, calm down.

Tell me where you are and Ill come get you.

Tell me, Ill write it down.

Ive got to rush to the court. Ill call you later.

Fine. Bye. -Bye, honey. I love you.

Hi, Irina. -Good morning.

I dont want to bother you.

No, you dont bother me at all. Come in.

Thanks.

Itll be just a moment. I have to go and open the shop.

Hows the shop doing, by the way? -Fine.

Isnt Natalia in?

In the shower. Shall I call her? -No.

I just want to give this to her.

But I can give it to you.

And this, why?

Yesterday Natalia made lunch and dinner for Kolya.

You dont need to pay us, thanks.

Really.

Im a mess of a mother,

but that doesnt mean you must feed my son.

No, dont talk nonsense, come on. -Please, take it.

No way. She had a great time with Kolya.

You did me a favour. We were supposed to have lunch together,

I dumped her and she spent the whole afternoon playing with him.

By the way, Kolya is a wonderful boy.

Im sure you have something to do with it.

Dont even think youre a mess of a mother,

and take this.

Thanks.

Bye. -Bye.

What Natalia saw yesterday isnt what it seems.

Are they the only ones who carry this type of guns?

In this area, yes.

Have you got the 500 bucks? -Yes,

but it doesnt look much money for a clean gun, really.

Theyre very old guns, from old arsenals from the East.

They bought them dead cheap. And besides, youre coming with me.

But let me do the talking. Keep quiet, okay?

Why? -Why?

Look, these people arent amateurs.

Theyre really fucked up, okay?

They were in a fucking war. Theyll shoot you at the slightest sign.

Okay? -Got it.

Whats up?

Dont you trust your friends anymore?

Not having friends is the best way to keep alive in this business.

And I dont know him. -Ill vouch for him.

As soon as youve shot it, even only once, get rid of it.

Adrian. Do you also sell that type of mobile phones?

Arent you interested in this type of cars?

We sell anything, man.

This is a welcome gift.

Wait.

Did he tell you who I am?

Only that he trusts you.

I was a policeman.

What are you doing? -Calm down.

I was a policeman, I got kicked out. I want to tell you,

so nobody else tells you.

If were doing business, I dont want any fucking lies.

Have you got any problems with dealing with a former policeman?

You friend is a bit crazy, huh?

I like him.

Youre not the only cop I do business with.

Its good to have your enemy on your side.

Dont fucking scare me like that! Youll get shot, jeez!

The report is favourable to us.

Ive sent it to the prosecutor and the judge.

Did you find Pedro? -No.

Is there something wrong? -No, Im okay.

Im worried. This testimony is the only thing we have.

If it goes wrong, well lose. -Theres something else.

Theres nothing wrong with me.

Ready to testify? -Yes.

Dont worry. Itll only be a few questions.

Youll speak right after the prosecutor

shows the jury the message in the mobile phone.

The thing is getting to know who Gloria really was.

She didnt need to shout or punish me for me to obey her.

She was always a good mother and, while I was living there,

a good neighbour. -Thanks.

Any questions from the prosecution?

Yes. How many hours do you work a day?

About twelve.

How many days off have you got?

Only once a week.

Then, how much did you see your mother during the week?

I dont know. I went to see her whenever I could.

So, what you told us

has to do with the Gloria you met as a child.

With your permission! -Thats speculation, and tacky.

That shall not be considered.

Yes, but this motherfucker is right as rain.

Yes, I went for lunch some weekends.

Are you feeling okay?

Yes.

Yes, dont worry.

I saw Gloria more than my husband.

At least a couple of times every week.

I sometimes left the children with her.

How would you describe her?

Shes...

a good person.

And... she was a good mother.

No more questions, your honour.

Would you describe Gloria as a quiet, controlled person?

Would you describe Gloria as a quiet, controlled person?

No.

The last year she was nervous all the time.

She exploded very easily.

And then...

she cried and apologized,

but she did it again the following day.

You said you visited her often and you left your children with her.

But the six months previous to the crime you didnt do it anymore.

You left them with her neighbour, Lidia Carnero. Is that right?

Do I have to call your neighbour, or can you confirm that?

Yes, its true. -With your consent. I remind you

that, as related descendant of the defendant,

you have the right not to testify. -Please,

let me question her without interruptions.

Just reminding her of her rights. -I want to testify.

Behave yourselves! -I want to testify.

I want to keep on testifying.

The public prosecution can go on.

According to this medical report, your son

had a fracture in one of his wrists a few months before the murder.

Hes...

His bones are very fragile.

You said he had fallen in the park.

Are you going to keep that version under oath?

Im sorry.

Gloria did it in one of her angry outbursts.

What are you saying, Susana?

Its true. -No, thats not true, Susana.

Hes our son! When will you stop protecting her?

Shes lying! -Sit down or youll have to go out.

Have you gone crazy? What are you saying?

Ricardo! -Its true!

Get him out of the room. -Shes lying.

My mother is not like that! Mum, tell her! Shes lying!

Let go of me! -Please, let him go!

Please, let him go!

Please, dont hurt him, for Gods sake!

Call a doctor!

How are you, Gloria?

Better.

What will they find in the analysis?

Anxiolytics. -Since when are you taking them?

For over a year. I get them from an inmate.

Do you know that invalidates the expertise they did on you?

And what could I do?

I wasnt like this. But that man...

First he let me alone in the building.

Then he made me lose my nerves.

I was always tense and got angry very easily.

We asked you to be sincere with us.

Why didnt you tell them about your grandson?

I want to think that didnt happen.

I thought jail was what I feared most,

but now Im scared of ending up like this, crazy.

You have to go.

We must reverse what has happened in court

to keep self-defence. -We must prove

that Boscos attitude was so aggressive it affected Gloria.

We must find her neighbour.

Theyre trying to find the contract.

The estate agency is putting me off.

I dont know what they want to hide.

Here we are! -Hi. How are you?

It smells great! -I felt like experimenting.

I hope you like vegetable lasagne.

Of course we do. -What about you?

What did the doctor tell you?

That the nail will beep in airports.

Until it doesnt heal, he wont go to rehabilitation.

When will that be?

Remember that when you broke your arm, a month and a half...

Shall we talk about my arm or about my future?

Lets have dinner and well talk later.

Im not going there.

Look, Guillermo, youre insisting on not going there,

but I really dont understand why.

Its a unique opportunity for you, my love.

Youre going to be in the USA,

youll meet people who are very different to you,

most of all, youll learn English. -Mum, I dont care about the USA.

My mates are here, and I know enough English.

Well...

Did you browse the site I told you? -I did!

Dont you think its great? -Its full of soldiers.

So? -I dont want to be like you.

But, why do you talk like that? -How?

What do you mean how? Arent you hearing yourself?

As if you spared our lives. -Can we have dinner quietly?

Im not going, and thats it!

Get used to it, because weve paid the reservation.

Fuck off! -Guillermo!

Oh my God. -Jesus!

But, whats wrong with him?

"Hi, son. How are you?" -Fine.

"Your mother told me you got out. Im so glad."

Would you like to meet this...?

I told you, not here.

Go away. -Dont fuck with me!

Dont fuck me. Im not shouting. Ive paid you well.

I said no! Go away. -Shall I break your face?

Please. -Shut up!

Another day. -Shut up.

Another day, please. -I said no!

Is everything alright? -Yes, fucking great.

I thought you were being disrespectful to this woman.

I dont fucking want to see you here again!

Okay, okay.

Out!

Here.

Kolya left it at home. -Thanks.

Bye.

What do you want at this hour?

I want to show you one thing.

What do you know about the neighbours complaints?

They were dismissed, they werent solid.

The testimonies were contradictory,

there wasnt evidence. What we thought.

Shit. Look at this.

Where did you get this from? -From a dealer.

Its the type of gun and ammunition which killed Jorge

and the phone they gave him. -What?

The person who helped him escape is the one who killed him: Paniagua.

Are you losing it again? Its a serious accusation.

The dealer says he does business with the police.

Youre fucking crazy, because they could have blown your head.

The way you got this, its not valid for a judge.

Thats why Im talking to you and not to a judge!

Please, take the gun. Find out all you can about it.

Ive cleaned it, it has no prints. Do it for me, please.

You know what can happen to me if I look where I shouldn't.

You want me to be your best man, because you trust me.

Just this case, I promise.

Come on.

Do you want water?

Yes.

Dad told me youre with a new case. Hows it going?

Its being a bit complicated. -Oh, really?

Did you know shes got an associate?

And whos that? Juan?

No, mum. Juan works in the high court.

His name is Samuel Caronte.

Ive asked a couple of questions about that Caronte.

He was in jail for killing a man.

What?

I already knew it. -Did you?

Did you start a business with a murderer?

And dad told me off for hacking the schools Wi-Fi.

Hes not a murderer! His innocence was proved.

It doesnt matter. Hes an ex-con. -He was a policeman

who got his law degree with very good marks.

For him it was harder than... -People like him dont change.

He was a violent officer, and a basehead.

Wont he do cocaine again when hes in a rough patch?

Dad, now youre prejudging him.

Hes a good lawyer. You should see him in court.

I can find you a better associate.

Many would like to work with my daughter.

I'm fed up of being your daughter!

Are you fed up?

My surname has served you very well.

Then Ill use the fourth surname.

Do you know how much your office cost?

You accept my money, but not my advice.

Here, your office.

Marta, please... -I dont need it.

Marta, honey...

"Hi, honey, Ive just heard your message.

I was on the night shift.

I loved listening to you, though its on the answering machine.

And I miss you too.

I love you."

Hi, Marta.

Can I spend the night here?

Yes, sure.

Come in. What happened to you?

I argued with my father and I gave him back the keys to the office.

I knew there was something wrong. Was it for me?

No, it was for him.

But its not all bad news.

I found Pedro Rodríguez.

Hes got an appointment at the INEM tomorrow.

And who will be there?

Pedro Rodríguez? -Yes.

Im Gloria Martínezs lawyer.

Im sorry, I cant talk right now.

So its true, right?

Gloria is crazy and killed a good neighbour.

She deserves to spend her life in prison.

What do you want from me?

Tell me what really happened with Bosco.

I can report you for this.

Report me? You can report my balls!

You know what I can do to you? -Stop it!

Leave him alone!

Mind your fucking life, old woman.

Im up to the hilt with both of you!

Now lets go and solve this. -What are you doing? Let me go!

Let you go! What are you doing?

Its a disgrace youve had an accident.

Do you want your wife and children to have another one?

No.

You know what you have to do.

"So I left. -Why didnt you report him?"

"What for?"

For him to be out after ten days, or to send me one of his friends?

Im sorry, but I was very scared.

Bosco has died.

Nothing can happen to you if you testify in court.

Gloria needs you.

Your testimony is in ten minutes.

The prosecutor will try to make you doubt,

but if you tell the jury the same thing you told me,

everything will be fine. -Will Gloria be there?

Yes. She talks about you with great affection.

Shes a good woman.

Shell be grateful to you for the rest of her life.

Are you nervous?

Well, yes, a bit, indeed.

Its normal youre nervous.

I remember clearly

the first time I went into a courtroom.

I was a lawyer, not a witness,

but I understand a judge commands respect.

Forget that. Think shes a person

to whom youre going to tell exactly the same you told me:

the truth.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Answer it, dont worry. Ill call you.

Hello?

Its me, tell me.

Mum, what are you doing here? -I came to give you the keys.

And youre the one who came? -Marta, dont stop.

Tell me dad didnt ask you to. Come on, tell me.

He always does the same.

He gets into my life without any respect,

and then its you who apologizes. -Thats not fair.

Its true, and you know that.

Mum, Im sorry. I know you only want us all to be fine.

Im to blame, for letting dad always help me.

Hes your father. How could you not let him help you?

So, I gave him carte blanche to mess up with my life

and criticize me in whatever he feels like.

Dad doesnt criticize you.

Mum, thats all he does. -Dont say that, Marta.

Dont even think about it. Its a lie. Dad is very proud of you.

Hes got a peculiar way of showing it.

Please, Im in the middle of a trial. Talk to you later.

This is the medical report of your broken arm

shortly before you had to leave your house.

What was the cause of that injury?

I fell off the stairs.

Did you fall or did someone push you?

I fell.

Lawyer, are you going to continue?

Yes.

What was your relationship with the victim like?

I didnt talk much to him.

Normal, I guess.

No more questions, your honour.

Has the prosecution any questions?

No, your honour. Theyre doing my job.

Pedro!

Why did you do this to us?

This not only has to do with Bosco,

and... I needed the money.

What money?

As soon as it was known

he was going to testify in favour of Gloria,

a man phoned him. -Who?

He doesnt know his name or who he represented,

but he offered him money and a good job, well paid,

right after the trial. -We could refute him.

With what evidence? Hell deny it all.

What hes insinuating is that Bosco acted forced by others.

And we have to investigate who they are.

We must track the money.

See who the neighbours sold their houses to,

who hired Bosco... -Didnt you investigate that?

Yes. There were many companies and there didnt seem to be a link.

Now I know there is a link and it is there, well hidden.

Hi, Natalias answering machine.

Listen, I want you to tell that gorgeous woman you have there

that today wasnt a good days work,

but the worst thing

is that tonight I wont be able to hold her, either.

I love you, darling.

I think I got it. Good morning.

Good morning.

The owners sold their flats to several companies

who keep them empty. And I found out

all of them have a share or some kind of link,

sometimes very indirect, with a major estate agency:

Garlonsa.

Garlonsa has a license to build

a big industrial park and houses

in the area where Gloria lives. -Were not judging Garlonsa.

We suspect the victim, Bosco Santirso,

made the neighbours lives impossible

so they left and sold their flats.

Thatd explain

why Gloria felt Bosco as a real threat to her life.

Here you can see the business consultancy that hired Bosco

stays afloat to one degree or another

thanks to companies controlled by Garlonsa.

And his salary was excessive for the work he did.

Have you got solid evidence?

No, your honour,

but there are enough signs to investigate Garlonsa.

Build your case with facts and evidence.

Dont try to touch me

with an old lady crushed by a large corporation.

Try to prove it.

Thats what were trying to do, your honour.

But to do so, we need to interrogate

some of the people in charge of Garlonsa.

Were not asking you to call them as defendants, but witnesses.

We werent aware of the activities of that...

Bosco Santirso.

But that consultancy works with you.

And with other businesses.

Do you know how many consultancies are connected to Garlonsa?

More than 30.

We dont meddle with the way they work.

Thatd be foolish, your honour.

Are you denying

that your company has a project to build in that area?

My company has over 50 projects in Madrid.

And only a few will be carried out.

And for that area there are also projects of other companies.

But none of them is connected to the consultancy that hired Bosco.

With your permission. Thats not a question.

Be clearer with your formulations.

Did your company force Bosco to treat the neighbours badly

so they sold their houses and left them?

No.

No more questions, your honour.

The witness can leave the room or stay here.

If you dont mind, thanks a lot, your honour.

I have a lunch date and its a bit late. Thanks.

Well recess for ten minutes. Thanks.

Putting up with that moron has been useless.

Dont think so. Look at all those journalists.

The cases of individuals against corporations

interest everybody, including the jury. David against Goliath.

Berta, why did you come here?

"The well-known property company, Garlonsa,

seems to be behind all this.

This is Gloria, 65, getting out of prison

to attend the trial for the alleged murder of her neighbour.

Gloria stuck a sharp object..."

Fuck!

"...could be interested in Gloria leaving her house

to bring down the block and build a new one

at higher market prices.

Its known as real estate mobbing.

The new evidence wouldnt exculpate the alleged murder,

but it could reduce..."

They found him with the screwdriver on his right hand

and a defensive wound on the same hand.

Could that wound have taken place when he took the screwdriver?

He should have let it go.

If he had a knife, he could have cut himself.

In that area, it wouldnt be strange.

But they found him with the screwdriver.

Somebody changed the knife for the screwdriver,

so he looked less threatening. Only one person could have done it.

Berta. Berta, excuse me.

I believe you, and I believe your husband was a good person.

Why do you defend that woman? -Shes a victim, like him.

Dont fuck with me! -Listen.

Look. That phone on your hand, that car,

the clothes youre wearing...

You cant pay them with the salary of a supermarket.

Bosco and I had savings. -No, please, Berta.

I know where all that money comes from, Im not stupid.

I know your husband wasnt the monster the neighbours portrait.

He was a good person who was forced to behave that way.

Before being a lawyer, I spent several years in prison.

I know that, when somebody is really fucked up,

if you push him a bit, he would do anything.

Bosco wasnt a saint,

but he wasnt a bastard either.

Thats why Garlonsa took advantage of him.

Gloria did what she did, theres no turning back.

They are those directly responsible for your husbands death.

Bosco has paid with his life. Are you and I letting

that bunch of motherfuckers get away with it?

Berta.

Trust me.

You dont bite the hand that feeds you.

Theyre not feeding you, theyre choking you.

Did you go back home yet?

That doesnt matter now.

You must make up with Susana.

The children cant be without their father.

Its all right, mum. Dont worry about a thing.

Lawyers, if in five minutes the witness you tendered

doesnt turn up, well consider he didnt appear.

Yes, your honour.

Are you so desperate

you call to the stand one of my witnesses?

Are you scared or what? -Im in a rush.

Admission of guilt and six years?

With time served, in a couple of years shell be on probation.

Youre scared.

ITS NOT A BAD DEAL

Shes not coming.

She is.

Whats he doing here?

If she comes, youll do the questioning.

No. -Yes.

No. -Yes.

Did you see your husband the morning in question?

I...

I was coming back from the bar.

"Before working in the supermarket, I worked in a bar."

And I saw him.

"He came towards me,

wounded."

Bosco!

"He was lying there, on the floor."

Help!

I tried to plug the wound, but he didnt...

He didnt stop bleeding.

Did you try to plug the wound?

The examiner has always mentioned two wounds, and you only one.

Oh, God, I... I dont know... He was covered in blood and...

Did you call 911?

Yes.

Didnt you do anything else?

What could I do?

Just stay next to him

while he died.

How much did they pay you?

Pardon?

How much did they pay you to lie about your husbands death?

With your permission. Whats that about?

Lawyer, watch what you say.

How much did they pay you to intimidate the neighbours?

I hope it was a lot, it took your husbands life.

Your honour, please! -Who are you

to talk to me like that? -Quiet!

Im doing my job. Because youre lying.

Youre to blame, because today an innocent woman will be sentenced.

Youre a motherfucker! -Not another word.

Lawyer, get out of this room.

Dont come back until I allow you to.

Your honour, please. -Be quiet

or Ill find you in contempt.

And Im doing you a favour.

Fuck off!

Excuse me, what did you say? -Fuck off!

Ive committed perjury, or whatever the fuck its called!

Bosco...

Bosco told me one thing.

Those motherfuckers had got into his head and...

That asshole...

We must call 911! -Phone the company first.

What are you saying? Are you stupid?

Its not that bad. Tell them the old lady stabbed me

and I had this on my hand.

"I phoned..."

I phoned Garlonsa.

"They told me to change it for a screwdriver."

They had asked him...

to give that woman a good scare.

Go with her.

Ill have to speak to the headmaster,

like when you were kicked out of school.

Dont lecture me, I know I fucked it up.

Id have chosen another strategy. -I know that too.

And Id have won the trial, because it can be won.

Itd have taken me longer than it has taken you,

and more effort.

Honey, over time, over years, Ive become a cautious lawyer.

But sometimes you can only win if you risk.

It is hard to have the instinct to know when to do it.

The office is yours.

If you pay me a rent.

If you want to be independent, you must start to pay your expenses.

I hope Ill get a friendly Price.

Hi, honey.

Samuel? Is that really you?

I think were going to win the trial.

Congratulations, well done. We must celebrate it.

Your city or mine? -The verdicts ready.

Mine best. By the sea. -I must go.

The verdict is ready -Dont worry.

Ill talk to your answering machine were intimate friends.

I love you. -"Me too."

In view of the above, the jury, unanimously,

find the defendant

innocent of murder,

and guilty of manslaughter in self-defence.

After the time the defendant has spent in jail,

I order her immediate release.

This court is adjourned.

Son! -Mum!

I promise Ill get a treatment.

I wont get near my grandchildren until Im fine, Susana.

Thanks.

Thanks. -Many thanks for everything.

Congratulations. -Thanks.

Berta.

Youre very brave.

The prosecution will investigate Garlonsa.

It doesnt matter.

People like me, at the end, always end up losing.

Not always.

Good luck.

Congratulations.

Youre a piece of shit.

Ballistics has identified your gun.

Months ago,

Paniagua seized a shipment of Russian guns like those.

He was supposed to have destroyed them, but...

No, this gun belongs to that shipment.

Paniagua sold it to those dealers.

We must be careful where we get into.

You have a family

and so do I.

Paniagua took so much from you. Don't let him take more.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE...

Ive killed that fat bastard.

"Eight stabs in total."

He had an erection when he died. -You keep your cops gut.

They told me good things about this place.

Everybody leaves this place happy.

People come here to fuck. Dont ask any questions.

Im worried he sticks his nose where it doesnt belong.

Watch him until we know what he was looking for.

I know her. It doesnt make sense that she killed somebody.

Have you slept with a man without wanting to?

Are you going to take each case as personal?

When we think theyre innocent.

Shit! No... -Open the car!

I said open the car! Open!

Youre dead, you hear me?

You wont go until you take one of these and its negative.

Will you leave me alone then?

Dont use me as an excuse for your troubles.

"Stop looking for someone to blame."

You and me will find solutions for our son.

Guillermo Alfaro? -Yes, thats me.

Against the wall. Raise your hands. Drug trafficking.
