EPISODE 4. CHRISTMAS

-Do you know what they call him? -No.

-No? You haven't heard? -No.

-Dry penguin. -What's that?

Are these for you?

You have a fan?

Jeez.

-Who is it from? -I don't know.

-Javi, I guess. -No way it's from Javi.

-He hasn't given you a present in years. -What do you know?

This isn't like Javi.

It's not like you.

If I give you flowers, I do it in private.

I don't leave a stuffed animal on your car at the precinct for everyone to see.

Come on. Start the car.

I hope you can forgive me, but it was impossible.

Impossible to find a bouquet as pretty as you.

I need to see you, Rosa.

-I was thinking... -Sofía, stop that.

Dinner in Sitges Saturday? I'll leave Sofía at my parents'.

I can't. I'm on duty. Menéndez is ill and asked me to cover for him.

Bummer. Can't someone else go?

-No. -Jesus.

You've been picking up all the slack lately.

Sofi, I said enough with that teddy bear.

Javi.

She's just a kid.

What sign are you?

Come on.

Scorpio.

-I knew it. -Did you?

-How about you? -Libra.

Libra.

-Very compatible. -Really?

We'll have our quarrels though.

-Fine by me, as long as I win. -Okay.

Cars

or motorbikes?

-Are you serious? -Answer.

Motorbikes.

Yeah. You like speed?

I love speed. Do you?

-Listen. -What?

Making love

or fucking?

Making love, always.

To love.

To love.

Cheers.

What kind of couple were Rosa and Albert?

A regular couple.

I need you to be more specific.

They were a normal couple, really.

Was it public?

Well,

they tried to keep it a secret at first.

I guess they were worried

they'd get caught.

You said "at first."

And after?

Everybody knew about it after.

Did you know about Javier Guerrero?

That's her ex, right?

Yeah, I heard about him.

But Rosa had already divorced him when she started seeing Albert.

Is that what they said?

Why? Was it not true?

Do you know if they're still together?

No, man. Rosa is with Pedro now.

Well, they came to a dinner together, not long ago.

When was that?

I think it was on...

on the 4th. Yeah, on the 4th.

Can't they go to a work dinner together as colleagues?

-Would you like some water? -I'm good.

Santos.

Thanks, guys.

-Eduard. -Hi.

-How's it going? -Fine. We're working on it.

I just saw one of Pedro's colleagues from his precinct.

-Anything new? -You know I can't talk about it.

I just want to know how everything's going.

You can talk to Varona. She's in her office.

-I gave my statement this morning. -Did you?

What did they say?

They asked about you.

They asked if you were with Rosa.

-A little late for that, isn't it? -Yeah. I guess.

They were very happy. I didn't like it, but what could I do?

You have to be a good loser.

-Right? -Yup.

-Hey, man. That thing we talked about? -What?

What you asked me about.

What?

-No? -What?

-Okay. -Are you serious?

I don't know.

-It's a fucking coincidence. -Okay. Don't worry about it.

-Screw you! What are you on about? -Sorry. I was bugging. Forget it.

Dickhead... I'm hungry. Should we go eat something?

Okay, let's go eat. Drive.

Dickhead.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

-This... -Sorry about the mess.

No worries. I'm too drained to do anything either.

My son reminds me so much of him.

I still can't believe it, Rosa.

Me neither.

He was such a good man.

We were together for ten years. No need to lie to me.

He was so good to me, Silvia.

But you also argued a lot, didn't you?

Well, yes...

And you said it wasn't the first time he took off after an argument.

But those were...

silly arguments, really.

I understand it's hard for you to talk about this,

but you can talk to me.

I went through the same thing.

No such thing as a perfect couple.

The woman in charge of the case, Varona, is very good.

Yeah, she seems nice. Do you know her?

She's smart, and that's what matters.

So far, they've got nothing.

Maybe they do, but they're gathering evidence

before they can press charges. Right?

You think so?

I hope so.

Can I use your bathroom?

Sure.

Where is it?

At the end of the hall.

I'm sorry, Silvia.

I have to go. My parents just called.

Okay, no problem.

-Sorry. I've got so much going on lately. -No, don't worry.

I'm sorry.

Let's go, little man.

We're leaving, honey.

Let's find something to bring down that fever, okay?

Can you please go and get it?

-What? -Fever medication from the pharmacy!

-You should've said so. -How many more times? Jesus.

Calm down. You know my back pills make me groggy. Fuck.

Just living here is not enough for us. We need you to be present.

I am.

No, you're not.

Every minute I'm not with you is wasted time.

If you didn't want to watch it, we could've put on one of mine.

-You said you wanted to watch this one. -From the choices you gave me.

I'm an idiot. When it's your turn, you choose.

When it's my turn, I pick the one you want.

-I thought you wanted to watch this one. -Never mind. I'm too tired to argue.

EVERY MINUTE I'M NOT WITH YOU...

IS WASTED TIME

Come on. Hop on!

-Let's go! -I'm gonna kill you!

I'm gonna kill you.

It was a sudden impulse, girl.

You're crazy.

Javi is sleeping.

I snuck out of the house too.

I said it was an emergency at the precinct.

You're crazy.

-And you look great in your pajamas. -Yeah? Like them?

You've really lost your mind, huh?

I just told you I was here. I didn't make you come out.

-I came out because I wanted to. -Right.

-Yeah. -Sure.

-I'm off. -Isn't this nice?

-Yeah. Very nice. Bye. -What?

-You have me, Rosa. -Okay.

-You have me. -Okay.

Hi, Albert.

Hi, how are you?

Hanging in there.

-And you? -I'm fine.

But things are weird at the precinct.

Everybody is freaking out.

-Well, who can blame them? -I can imagine.

Do they know who might've done it?

No, not yet. I'm meeting with the inspector now.

-Really? I'll leave you to it, then. -Okay.

We'll talk later. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks, Albert.

Fucking awesome.

They bought it.

Screw them.

FUCKING AWESOME. THEY BOUGHT IT. SCREW THEM!

Thanks for coming, Rosa. How are you?

Is something wrong?

I won't arrest Javi.

I know.

He came to see me. He said you ruled him out.

I'd like you to go over the last thing you did with Pedro on the 2nd.

In case I missed any details.

Again?

We did our taxes.

We had coffee.

And we argued.

And then?

And then he left.

He said he had to pay the mechanic, but I don't know if he did.

Any witnesses? Did anybody see him leave or see him that afternoon?

This is an interrogation.

Yes.

Should I call my lawyer?

You can if you want to.

Why?

Did you speak to Albert recently?

Yeah.

Five minutes ago.

Is there a problem?

Are you still seeing him?

I never dated Albert.

Don't believe everything people say, Ester.

Why would they lie to me?

Because they don't like me.

Because they don't really know me.

You must admit you don't make it easy, Rosa.

Do what you have to do. Look wherever you have to.

I'm here if you need me.

All right.

Besides, my parents were with Pedro.

On the 2nd?

Yes. Sofía spent the night at theirs.

They came back for a stuffed animal, a unicorn. She can't sleep without it.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

I don't know. I was sure I had told you. Sorry.

These last few days, I've been in a haze, Ester.

Would they be open to a deposition?

That shouldn't be a problem.

Write that down too.

I look fine like this, right?

Of course. Don't worry about that.

How many questions is she gonna ask us?

She said it'd be a while...

-I don't know. -How long?

I don't know. She's a little nervous.

Don't worry, okay? Everything's gonna be fine, okay?

But you have to be prepared.

Javi wants to incriminate me.

-What? -Incriminate you how?

Incriminate me, Dad.

He says I did it.

-What? -Son of a bitch!

Dear Lord. But...

They won't take him seriously.

Well, he's a mosso, Mom.

He's following the investigation.

-And only I saw Pedro on the 2nd. -Right.

He says I'm lying and that I must have a reason.

Dear God, no. Honey.

The father of my child.

None of this is your fault.

-None of it. -Did you talk to your lawyer...

-Yes, of course. This morning. -And?

He says it'd be easier if you'd seen Pedro on the 2nd, but you didn't. We're screwed.

No, we saw him on the 1st.

I know.

Right, but...

we could say we saw him on the 2nd.

Juan.

-What? -That's a crime.

We were

about 50 meters from the house,

and we saw him come out and get in the car.

Did Pedro see you?

Yes, of course.

We waved at him.

But he didn't wave back. Don't know why.

He was happily on an outing with you just the day before.

Yes.

Yes, well,

at the time,

he must've been angry, right?

I don't know. Honestly, I didn't notice.

Did Rosa seem happy to you?

-Yes, very happy. -Yes.

Do you know Albert López?

Yes, of course.

He's been a colleague of Rosa's for years.

Just a colleague?

Colleague and friend.

And he protected her

when that homeless man stabbed her in the leg, and...

-Right. -He was always very kind.

She's amazing.

She's gorgeous, funny, and has lots of personality.

Everything would be perfect with her.

With her, it would be.

-I'm in love. -Come on, Peter. Knock it off.

You're not in love.

Your problem is that you have a one-year-old.

She's not a kid, you know? She has a family too.

Your problem is that all that sex went to your head.

I'm just saying you shouldn't make a decision now.

I don't make any decisions.

This does.

Listen to me, Peter. I'm your friend. I wouldn't lie to you.

I didn't see my girls for three weeks. It was a miracle that Cris took me back.

-That won't happen to me. -Come on. Why not?

It won't happen to me.

-Are you smarter than us? -No. It won't happen.

Really? Okay.

LOCAL POLICE CHECKPOINT

Hey! You son of bitch!

Shit. Pedro, are you okay?

-Get him! -On it!

-Let's see some ID. -Show me your badge.

Here's my badge. That's the number. That was reckless driving.

Okay? I'm talking to you. ID. Show me your ID...

What the fuck? Pedro, get off of him! Pedro!

What are you doing? Pedro, let him go!

-Let go! -When I stop you, you stop.

-Pedro! -When I stop you, you stop!

-Look at me! Stop! -You stop, you hear me? You stop!

Enough! Calm down!

Easy!

Breathe, Pedro. Breathe.

What the hell?

I can't believe it. I mean...

My God. I can't believe it.

Suspended without pay, Pedro. What the hell were you thinking?

And now you have a kid. Do you even think at all?

He nearly ran me over.

Look, I saw the video, okay? So has everyone else.

That's more concerning to me than the money.

You're an adult. You're the father of my child.

Grow the fuck up!

He was mocking me, Silvia.

Please. Give me a break.

-He was mocking me. -Please!

Hi.

What's the matter? Come here.

Darling.

What can I do for you?

-What do you need? -To turn back the clock.

That's gonna be a little complicated.

Tell me it's gonna be okay.

Pedro.

Of course it will be okay.

Pedro, I also had a hard time when that guy died at Montjuic.

And my patrol buddy went through hell.

Albert?

Yeah, Albert. You know him?

I've heard about him, yes.

Everything worked out in the end.

Ultimately, they understand it's a tough job, you know?

And sometimes things happen.

It'll be all right. You'll see.

Come here.

Sweetie.

It's not your fault.

You hear me?

You have a lot going on. And you're very lonely at home.

Hey.

I just want to be with you.

I think I deserve better than a parking lot, don't I?

What do you think?

-Just saying. -Yeah.

-Man... -All better now.

There you go.

You were partners for a long time.

You and Albert, right?

How does this go? There. Oops.

-You won't say where you're taking me? -No.

A surprise, then?

Exciting.

We're special, Rosa.

Fuck! Albert!

Stop! What the hell is wrong with you?

Jesus!

What the fuck, man?

Did you hear from Pedro on the 2nd?

We texted.

-Can I see the messages? -Sure.

04-05-2017: COME BEFORE 8:20. PEDRO WHERE ARE YOU? CALL ME.

02-05-2017: DO YOU MIND IF I PICK UP OUR SON TOMORROW?

What's on your mind?

Not sure. They sound kind of cold.

What are you getting at?

It's just a feeling. I don't...

What feeling?

I don't think he wrote them.

Do you mind if I pick up our son tomorrow?

I want the phone triangulation data for both of them.

Right away.

Yeah? Let's see.

Yeah, he'll like this.

Look how cute these are. I love them.

I'll do this one in a sec.

And this is the last one. There you go.

I want to break up.

We haven't been doing well for a while.

Who is she?

This is about you and me.

We deserve better than this, Silvia.

No.

You're not after something better.

You're running away, Pedro.

So you really want to break up.

Just tell me. What's her name?

Tell me.

Rosa.

Good luck to both of you.

I left Silvia. When did you say you'd leave Javi?

-Very nice. -Delicious. Right, Juan?

-Very good. -Yeah.

You know what?

Whatever the fishmonger says, these prawns are not like last year's.

-Thank goodness. -Yeah, right.

-Laugh it up. -If they were last year's...

-You know how much they cost me? A bundle. -Really? It can't be that much.

What is it?

She won't eat the prawns.

It's okay. I'll have them. Here. Do you want them?

-No. -Give them to me.

You look handsome.

What do you want me to ask for this year?

A puppy.

-Not sure about that, Sofía. -You'd need to take care of it.

I know.

A puppy?

-You know what we'll ask for? -What?

We'll ask for good health.

-And money. -Great. Health and money...

We have everything else.

-Health and money, then. -Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Cheers!

Nougat! Yes, pass it.

I forgot about the nougat.

Are you okay?

We'll talk later.

-Leave me alone. -Please stop, Javi.

Javi.

Please stop, Javi. Stop.

-Stop. Hey, stop. -Leave me alone, dammit.

-Stop, Javi. Please, Javi. -Leave me... What?

-Can we talk? -What about?

Her name is Carmen.

She's a mossa from my unit, and she'll get along fine with Sofía.

She already knows Albert, doesn't she?

What?

It was obvious, Rosa.

But I asked around, just in case.

You didn't think of asking me, did you?

-You're a coward, dude. -I am. Yeah.

Okay, enough. You got your revenge, Javi. Okay? You got your revenge.

Please, Javi, stop. You can't do this to Sofía.

I'll always look after Sofía. Now I'll have more to offer her.

Don't touch me! There's nothing left between us!

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

We're a family.

You never wanted this. Never.

-Yes, I do. -Spare me the bullshit now, okay?

-I do want this. -Out of my way.

I do want this, Javi.

-Javi, please don't go. -Get lost. Out of my way.

-Please don't go. Please. -Let me through. Don't make me do it.

Don't make me do it, dammit!

Albert, Javi left me.

He's with someone else.

After 12 years together, he wouldn't even talk it out.

I'm devastated.

Please come. I need you.

Please. I don't want to be alone.

OFFLINE

So you're also a local cop, right? Like our girl.

Yes.

But you're on leave, right? How come?

My back. The motorcycle...

-Oh, the bike. -Yeah.

But I'll be back soon.

End of January, February...

-Do you like velvet crabs? -I love them.

Thank you.

-Do you like them? -Yeah. But I don't remember how...

Oh, okay.

-I got it. -No. Not like that...

Here.

-Want me to peel it? -Yes.

Thanks.

It's easy.

-Like this. Grab it from the back. -Right.

-You lift the backside, right? -Got it.

-Okay. -Here you go. Do you want the head?

Yes.

Thank you.

-She does everything well. -Well...

What?

Not everything.

Sofía, don't stare like that.

Oh, no...

That's the game?

Is it a staring contest? Okay, let's do it.

Okay. Let's play.

I'm really good.

I'll beat you.

She beat me. I lost.

You won.

She beat me.

Well done!

Well done, champ!

I'm choking!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, sweetie!

-Happy New Year, Mom! -Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year, Dad! -Happy New Year!

Rosamari.

Thank you.

-To love. -Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

We have the triangulation of the three phones.

Rosa's and Pedro's show up together at Rosa's house

from the early hours of May 1st

to May 2nd.

What about Albert's on the same time that day?

Same day, same time.

Here.

Rosa, Pedro, and Albert, all tangled up.

It must've been then.

But Pedro was alive on the 2nd.

Her parents saw him leave the house.

Right.

Why did you take the shortcut?

Hey, no cheating.

-My parents did what I asked them to. -Okay.

But Ester keeps asking about you. She's wondering if we're together.

I said we're just friends. But I don't know...

They'll be watching us, Albert.

It's best if we don't see each other for a while.

Right.

Are you scared?

What?

Never.

Are you?

I'm always fine.

Come here.

This is forever.

I know.

All right.
