BASED ON REAL EVENTS

SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 2010
4 DAYS AFTER FINDING PAULETTE

This is it, my dear Bonilla.

This is the moment of truth.

Three.

What?

The sheet the dogs had to smell.

Castillo's bodyguard.

That's why we called the FBI.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

When I told you
that you were off the case,

what did you think I meant, Carolina?

- Listen to me.
- You said it was okay.

- Okay. Listen.
- I don't want to.

I've had it. I won't listen.
I've had enough.

Then don't listen. Just look at this.

- Can you help me? Thanks.
- Will you help me?

Could you explain to my boss
what you just told me?

It's not okay for them
to criticize my work.

Not that. The other thing.

Okay, let's see.

I'm not blind. I can see. Is this the bed?

Exactly the same, boss.

So what you're saying

is that the State AG's Office
planted the body to protect the family.

You tell me, Miguel,

how the girl turned up in a bed where
we know at least three people slept,

and where I was sitting?

Do you think it's possible
that she was there for nine days,

like they're saying?

You'll prove it with this bed?

Basically, yes.

First of all, it's really strange
no one saw anything,

felt anything or smelled anything.

Secondly, they're saying
that she was here.

In this space.
That's physically impossible.

They're taking us for fools.

You, me, and everybody else.

Okay.

Okay, what?

Okay!

Sir.

Why have you asked
the City's AG Office for help,

and why is the FBI here?

No comment for the time being,
thank you.

Don't you trust your team's results?

It's better not to talk to them.

We've scheduled an interview
with someone more reliable.

Thanks, Ana Celia.

Keep an eye out, Bonilla.

Watch the gringos.

Yes, sir.

This is a masterclass.

What's going on?

Castillo brought them.

Put your body and head like this,
and roll over that way.

That's it. Roll. More.

More. Roll.

That's it. Here. Let's see.

Tuck your tummy in.

Tuck it in.

Castillo?

Madeleine Montgomery, from the FBI.

Let's go.

Mauricio Gebara, Paulette's father,

says he wouldn't put himself on the line
for her.

That's right.

What about you? Would you put yourself
on the line for her?

No. I wouldn't put myself on the line
for anyone.

I'm sure the authorities
will find the culprit.

ROT IN HELL

That's what we're all hoping!

This is TV Centro.

EVEN HER FRIEND THINKS SHE'S GUILTY

all the latest news.
I'm Gilberto Torres de Leon.

Stay...

- Mom?
- Buon giorno, cara mia.

How was the convention?

Oh, no. I don't want to talk
about the convention.

Rome. And especially Carthage.

Remember, women aren't made
to be alone, honey.

Yes, well, I've just got divorced, Mom.

Well, exactly.
We need to get you an Italian boyfriend.

Thanks. Saluti!

Why do you look so fancy?

I was invited to do an interview.

You don't say.
About your friend's daughter?

- About Paulette.
- Oh, that was terrible.

Don't tell me you know things
you haven't told me about.

I just want to tell the truth.

That I slept there
and that there was nothing in that bed.

So you're saying they murdered her.

No.

- Of course it was.
- Why?

You're saying you spent three nights
in the bed and there was nothing there,

and suddenly, the body's there...
Those people have a lot to hide.

And it doesn't look good for your friend.

Look. Not much of a friend anymore.

Look at this message.

I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU

They all want to know something
and I've known her for ever.

I'm going to tell them
who Lizette really is.

Do you know what this outfit needs?

An accessory, right?

A girdle.

I can't believe they came up
with this stupid idea.

It's impossible.

Impossible,
except for a slight little detail, boss.

What?

The report from the State AG's Office
says Paulette's mattress was kids' size.

That means

ten centimeters shorter.

Come on.

No way.

Don't blame me. The bed was perfect here.

No, your bed sucks.

- You made an adult-size bed for a girl.
- That's what the client requested.

Oh, so stupid. I'm so stupid, Lalo.

Mr. State AG,
I know there have been inconsistencies,

and that you're not happy
with the investigation.

But the family wants to bury the body.

They want a funeral for Paulette.

I'm afraid we can't allow that.

- Was the apartment sealed...
- I know, Bonilla.

I speak English.

Show her the body.

As a sister community
to the State of Mexico,

as a friend
to Governor Enrique Peña Nieto, but

mostly because of our interest
in helping Mexican families

who are worried about their children.

Certainly.

Our children are
our most prized possessions.

Sir...? Well

I've always spoken as a friend.

You have children too.

That's right, Adela.

But not a wife.

No.

We will keep calling him
"The Eligible Bachelor."

Right?

The truth is I'm not looking
for a partner at the moment.

And if you were looking,

what would a woman need to have
to win your heart?

Well, I think the most important thing
in a woman

is a sense of humor.

Don't you think, Adela?

Okay, let's go to a commercial break.
It will be a short one.

- That was sly.
- What a question, Adela.

- Well...
- You always stir up old feelings.

What a pleasure to meet you,
Doctor Mancera.

Well...

The famous Amanda de la Rosa.

The pleasure is all mine.

Were you detained as well?

Yes, after a long pursuit.

No.

No, that was an error
some of the media made.

Better they talk about us
than not talk at all, right?

I've always believed in human rights,

and one of them
is the right to know the truth.

Right. Of course.

- That's why I came to tell...
- Excuse me.

The truth about Lizette.

- Mrs. de la Rosa?
- Miss.

How are you, Miss?

Can we reschedule your interview?
We won't have time now.

Mr. Mancera's interview
was longer than expected.

Thank you.

Find out what they're taking to the lab.

I can't do that.

Of course you can.

I can't say that.

- It contradicts everything I've said.
- That's exactly what we need.

That I retract or I look like an idiot?

With all due respect, Mr. State AG,

we should at least prepare
for that possibility.

All the evidence
point to it being an accident.

All of them, apart from the FBI's.

Look, with all due respect,

I recommend that you
put your convictions aside.

If you insist on homicide
and it proves to be an accident,

you will

look bad.

So what do you want me to do?

Say what it says here.

And get ready, because...

Because it's almost time to go live.

Are they going to give her to us now?

- That's exactly why I called both of you.
- Both?

This nightmare never ends.

We're just going to talk for a minute.

This bastard won't let me go
to my daughter's funeral

and you want me to talk to him?

You made me look like a complete fool.

So what?

I look like a murderer.

You haven't been indicted.
Your daddy took care of you.

That's enough.

- Do you want to bury your daughter?
- Isn't that why I'm here?

Then I need you to listen.

According to our reports,
everything seems to indicate that

Paulette rolled over and fell into the gap
between the mattress and the bed.

It doesn't look like she suffered,
and this was all an accident.

If this sad and unfortunate version
is confirmed

you will be absolved of any accusations.

However,

FBI agents are performing a new autopsy
and that could change.

They have found traces of an adhesive
on Paulette's face.

This is serious.

It could lead
to a completely different conclusion.

I don't think

you want to go through
the whole arraignment again,

so no one is leaving this room

until you give me
a consistent version of events

with no contradictions about what
the traces of adhesive could be.

Sir?

It's Secretary Miranda.

No.

It sounds important.

Schedule a massage for me
when this is over.

- Mr. Secretary.
- What happened?

So now I need to call your bootlicker
so that I can get hold of you?

Bastard.

I'm just calling to ask why you're doing
whatever the fuck you want with the case.

Look, the truth is I think
there is reasonable doubt

and I am pursuing
a line of investigation...

So you're saying you don't trust
this country's institutions?

Right? Do you know how this reflects
on the Governor?

- It makes him look like an idiot.
- No...

You're saying he's an idiot?

I don't think the Governor's an idiot.

I can call him and we can both tell him
that you think he's an idiot.

How about that?

What the hell was that?
Calling the FBI? For God's sake!

Get this over and done with.

- I won't tell you again, man.
- Okay, all right!

Enough. You have a theory
about an accident, right?

Use it! Tell that theory, man.

I also heard that your FBI buddies
are doing God knows what to the body.

Show a little sensitivity, won't you?
We're talking about a girl.

Let her family bury her and mourn her.
And that's it, period.

- Sir...
- What if it was your daughter?

Sir? Sir, we're ready.

Sir?

Yes, I'm coming.

Here we are again.
We have Mexico's State AG,

Mr. Bazbaz, thanks for joining us.

Tell us one thing, Mr. State AG.

It's a bit difficult to imagine
that the girl's body

could have been under a mattress.

- For so long...
- Yes.

Yes, we're talking about

a space, between the mattress

and the foot of the bed,
of 15 centimeters.

It's also very important to remember
that the bed was poorly constructed.

Yes, but okay, let's see.

Are we still looking for a murderer?

Maybe a female murderer, in this case?

How did she die? I'll tell you.

The most important thing
is to know how she died.

Well, the audience wants to know.

Was it murder?

Or was it an accident, Mr. State AG?

Right now, the investigation
is focused on the scientific evidence.

We've had many AG's here.

Thieves, scoundrels, liars, drunks...
But no one compares to this.

You liked him more
when he was playing "hang the mom"?

Nothing this guy says makes sense.

How's it going with the bed?

- I want...
- We're doing that.

- No, that's...
- I'm sick of this.

You're right. They take us for fools.

- Yes, but...
- Two days ago, I received this report.

It says they found her

and she had been dead
between three and five days.

Now he says that wasn't the case.

That is was actually seven to nine days.
The expert has changed his statement.

I mean, if I let this out,

we'll lose credibility.

- Who signed this?
- Look.

We need to do a special interview,

find every theory,
every inconsistency in the case...

Let's go after them.

If they want to take us for fools,
we're going to show them we're not idiots.

Go, Carolina!

Yes, sir.

How old is this guy?

You get to State Attorney
straight out of high school? No.

What is this?

No. Stop!

Stop!

What is it? Did someone die?

No, we're still on.

Can you put the bed back together, please?

No way, miss.
You insulted me and criticized my work.

I'll double your pay.

I don't like it when people
bad-mouth my work.

We're going to defend your work,
no matter the cost.

I hope so.

The bulletin just became a special.

Are you doubling my pay too?

Your salary covers it.

Making up stories is not included
in my salary.

These bastards want us to believe
that the girl was there all this time.

And I'm the liar?

Okay, but the truth is...

The bed was badly made.

Lalo... they're covering for a family,
they planted a little girl,

for God's sake!

And I should have a guilty conscience
for changing a mattress?

Come on!

Okay, I'm with you.

Keep this bed as it is, okay?

And I'll get an interview
to bring these bastards down.

- Hey, boss.
- Yes?

Let's put it together again.

I looked like an idiot.

You went there to say
it was an accident, bro.

After saying the mom killed her.

Go easy, please.

I'm being easy on you
'cause I'm your friend.

Why don't you come and work
with me?

Because in the end,
after this whole mess is over,

if you don't find a culprit,

- someone will have to pay.
- That's why I brought in the FBI.

Besides, the Governor will thank me.

- They'll solve this. You'll see.
- How?

You still think the mom did it?

Yes, sure. Science will back me up.

Did he get the knot?

Go easy, please!

Relax, bro.

APRIL 5, 2010
5 DAYS AFTER FINDING PAULETTE

MOVEMENT UNDER THE SHEETS

We have to line up the time frame.

Again.

Lizette has always been a free spirit.

In school, she forgot very quickly
about the Catholic precepts.

I can tell you that.

"How interesting!

But tell us who Lizette really is."

Lizette is a riddle.

A time bomb.

At school, she once tore up
one of my letters

because she accused me
of stealing her sunglasses.

And then they appeared under her desk.

How terrible. What a story!

But honey, we've rehearsed a lot.

Maybe Bere can give you a manicure.

- You'll see how lovely her hands are.
- I don't have time, Mom.

- Why?
- My interview's in an hour.

How exciting! With Adela?

- Yes.
- How exciting!

Please don't tell the audience
about being a ninja and all that.

- Why not?
- People get scared.

- It doesn't look good.
- Of course not.

Yes.

Hello?

Hello, Miss de la Rosa. Good afternoon.

My apologies,
but you don't need to come in.

Adela can't do the interview.

But you're saying that the girl
appeared in her bed.

I slept there for three nights.

I have first-hand information
that's really relevant.

Yes, we know. But another interview
came up at the last minute.

Okay, but we can reschedule.

- Maybe...
- Yes, sure. We'll call you.

So?

A quick manicure?

DON'T GIVE ME THE SILENT TREATMENT.
GRUMPY.

I'm not allowed to talk to the media.

If you think I won't notice you
waiting there for half an hour,

then you don't think I'm a good coroner.

I think you are a good person.

I don't think you're satisfied

with how the State AG
has handled the case.

I read your report.

They changed the dates.

And if you think no one has noticed
your presence, then

you're very naive for a reporter.

PARROQUIA CAFE - 9 P.M.

Mauricio Gebara, Paulette's father,

left the chapel where she is being buried
this afternoon

to thank the media

for their support
from the day she was reported missing.

But he asked them to avoid
sensationalist language.

I hope you understand

that we are going through
a very difficult mourning process...

For us, today is Paulette's day.

Bonilla.

Take a seat. Sit down.

A strong statement from the father...

Sitting in that chair implies power,

and above all, great responsibility.

Can you feel it?

Do you like it?

Paulette Farah's funeral took place this
morning and was attended by politicians.

Among them, the former governor
of the State of Mexico, Arturo Montiel.

They're better connected than I thought.

They say Montiel was there
for the funeral of a colleague's mother.

Bonilla, you don't get it.

Fucking Castillo.

Allow me.

Castillo?

Here's the FBI's conclusion.

Anything new?

You did very well.

Thank you.

The decision to call the FBI
was quite right.

It made the entire team work harder
to find out the truth more quickly.

You're a very competent man.

The most competent.

Congratulations.

I'm sure you will do very well.

Thank you.

Can we rehearse?

Rehearse?

Three, two, one...

Lizette Farah.

Though you haven't been tried,

you've been condemned
by public opinion.

That's right, Adela.

What happened?

Right now, I can't say what happened.

I don't understand.

I just know that I lost my little angel
and that hurts very much.

What happened?

Lizette, you spent the weekend
away from Mexico City.

Yes, in Los Cabos, with a friend.

Your marriage was in a bad state.

No.

We had issues just like
any other marriage, but it wasn't bad.

Not to the point of...

Well, this situation where I can't even go
to my daughter's funeral...

Such bullshit.

A husband and a lover, how about that?

If she can do it, so can you.

That's flattering.

It's true.

Look at her!

She's never been pretty, to be honest.

But every guy liked her.

We don't know what tricks she knows.

Don't let this get you down.

Don't be mad,

because it's normal that everybody
should want to interview her now.

She's lying, Mom.

Everyone involved in this is lying.

It makes sense because
they're all protecting themselves.

You should protect yourself too.

- She played a lot and...
- It's better to keep quiet.

I'm the only one who can tell this story.

And if they don't want me on camera,
I'll do it my way.

Oh, no, honey.

No, don't make another movie.

Another embarrassment
for everyone to see? No!

Better yet, Mom.

A book.

A book?

And I know who's going to help me.

But you had a romantic encounter there
with someone who wasn't your husband.

There's been rumors about that, Adela.
I'm not sure where they heard it.

All I can say is that I went there
with my friend.

I guess that as a mother,

- you want to know what happened.
- Of course!

Of course I know... I want to know.

Did you hear that?

She knows. She just said it.

I'm glad you're sending her to jail.

I'm sorry, I don't know.
All I know is that I've lost my angel.

- Do you feel guilty?
- I'm afraid not, honey.

What?

You see?

We're vindicating your work.

Well, yes. Finally.

You should have seen how the lady
yelled at me about the other mattress.

What?

The kid-size mattress
is smaller than this. Didn't you know?

They didn't tell you?

No.

No, I don't.

Lizette, let me put it like this.

Did you kill your daughter?

No!

No, not at all.

Why did you turn it off?
I wanted to watch it.

Look, Dad. You're in my homework!

Go put your pajamas on, honey.

- I'm wearing them.
- Get another pair.

Alberto, this is too much.

We all need a break.

I'm taking the kids to New York.

I was about to order dessert.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Well, you're the man of the hour.

The only one who knows
what really happened.

The investigation is not closed yet.

You must have a theory, right?

Sure.

But that's top secret.

Give me a clue.

Some... light

in the midst of all this darkness.

You must also have a good theory
about what could have happened.

I slept in that bed
for three nights in a row.

I didn't feel anything.

We were all there.

We searched the room.
No one could have imagined she was there.

That's right.

I just can't believe
that version of events.

So you think your friend
did something to her?

I don't know what to believe.

I just know that's not
what I'll be talking about in my book.

Is that why you invited me to dinner?

You're going to write about the case
and you want information?

No!

- Not at all. That would...
- Amanda, I'm kidding.

I can only thank you.

You gave me a very important piece
of the investigation.

If you want to write, then write.

But what do writers always say?

Truth is stranger than fiction.

For a moment,
I thought you weren't coming.

Well, I came. I'm here.

So, about the report...

You need to know that the time of death
is very hard to determine with accuracy.

But you were forced to adjust it
to be more convenient, right?

Was it Deputy AG Castillo?

Let's say there was pressure.

What kind of pressure?

Look, I've been working for 20 years
and, trust me, I've seen it all.

I've even done things I'm not proud of.

And it's not up to me
to judge my colleagues, but.

I can't have a clear conscience
when the victim was a four-year-old girl.

Would you be willing to reveal
everything you know on camera?

LALO CALL ME, BOSS. IT'S URGENT!

So.

Go on.

Oh, no!

I'm really happy that this nightmare
will finally be over.

Okay, but it's not all bad, right?

Why do you say that?

You've made new friends.

Yes. You're right.

What I need now is a vacation.

Or smoke a joint.

And why don't we smoke it together?

Mr. Deputy AG.

Erika, have you seen the shirt
that my wife got me?

It should be in the chest of drawers, sir.

Let me get it for you.

Yes, please. Thank you.

MISSING
MY NAME IS CAROLINA TELLO

I'M A BITCH WHO TALKS TOO MUCH

AND I DISAPPEARED
BECAUSE I DIDN'T SHUT MY MOUTH.

This will be over soon.

I knew this would get out of control.

Don't worry.

Mauricio

what will happen?

Calm down. Everything will be all right.

They don't have any proof.

Oh, Mauricio.
