BURNING BODY

EPISODE 6. THE IMPOSSIBLE

The latest news in the case of the police officer

found dead at Foix Reservoir.

Yesterday, two individuals were arrested on suspicion of homicide.

The victim's fiancé, also a Barcelona police officer,

and another member of the same police force.

Police continue to search for compelling evidence

to strengthen their hypothesis.

Different types of search warrants were executed today

at the home of the victim and fiancé, who is now in custody.

They'd been living together for less than six months.

It seems the individuals in custody had a romantic history.

According to undisclosed sources, they had recently got back together.

Insiders close to the investigation have disclosed it's a murder case.

Is the inspector here?

The Barcelona police spokesperson will hold a press conference this afternoon

to explain how they're working with the Mossos d'Esquadra on the case.

It has come to light that all three officers,

both the victim and the alleged murderers,

were involved in controversial cases or police abuse scandals.

Albert López was convicted of assaulting a street vendor,

an incident in which Rosa Peral also sustained injuries.

The alleged murderer also made headlines

for exposing a sex scandal in the Barcelona police force.

Rosa Peral and Albert López have been arraigned

and are being kept in preventive detention, without bail,

due to the fact that they are police officers.

He sent a sexually explicit photo of her

to all his contacts after she broke up with him.

Please take off your clothes.

According to reports,

the two officers in custody and the victim were part of a violent love triangle

that culminated in the murder of Pedro Rodríguez.

Just a few hours prior to the discovery of the scorched remains,

the two officers were with colleagues from the Daytime Support Unit,

having dinner at a beachfront restaurant.

-They seemed relaxed during the dinner. -They danced all night.

They were friends and patrolled together for a while.

Reporting on the case is restricted...

She's a very attractive and alluring woman,

who used seduction to get whatever she wanted.

-She was a stripper. A cold woman... -Rumors of constant infidelities...

Her past, all the boyfriends she had...

-She's insatiable. -Always craving attention.

A serial cheater...

Handcuffed...

That's her.

Rosa Peral...

Good morning.

Good morning.

Varona, come and see this.

They were among her things. Here.

Inside these boots.

Look at that.

A professional cheater.

Ask every phone company if she's on their user list.

What kind of phone did Pedro have?

Brand and model.

Confirm that too.

Why would they keep his phone all this time?

Why would they kill him?

Eduard, have them run a luminol test in the room downstairs.

Now.

Come on, smile.

Playing by yourself blows. Right, Sofía?

Why don't you grab the rake, then?

Tell me, Sofía.

-Little brother or little sister? -Pedro!

Two little sisters.

"Two little sisters," she says.

And you're on the pill.

I was taking them when I was with Javi.

If you asked instead of snooping around...

So, why are there fewer every day?

What are you talking about?

It doesn't matter what I say. You won't believe me anyway.

What's my princess making?

-A castle for the mermaids. -How nice.

-Can I make one? -Yes.

Can I help?

Don't you see you can't stay with him?

You have to end it now.

He moved in three months ago. People will think I'm crazy.

So, what will you do? Stay with him just so people won't talk?

-So? -It's not that simple.

See?

See?

He's sick!

Seriously? One day, he loves me. The next, he hates me.

It's too much. I'm gonna lose it.

You're proving my point. Can't you see it?

Get out of there!

You know they won't reinstate him, right?

You think he's even trying to get his life together?

-He sits there all day, high on his meds. -Well, then what?

Even if I leave him, he won't leave me alone. He's obsessed.

For fuck's sake!

I need to answer, or it'll be worse.

Hi, babe.

Yeah, sorry. I just... Yeah, I had it on silent.

I'm at the doctor's, like I told you.

No, don't. I'm coming.

No, don't come. I'm leaving, okay?

Okay, love you. Yeah, I'm on my way.

I can't take it anymore.

I'm off.

It's either that or send him my location.

Send it to him.

Let him come here.

I mean it.

Send it. Let him come.

Bye.

There, nice and chilled.

There we go.

Come on.

Forgive me.

I know you're right.

I get nervous if you don't pick up.

I start getting anxious, and I get worked up.

-Pedro... -Listen. I have something for you.

Look.

Look.

Is that Javi?

I hired a private detective

to dig up some dirt on him.

He's gonna find it hard to get shared custody.

Look.

Rosa.

I love you.

All right?

So, get this.

He called the accounting firm, posing as Javi,

so they'd transfer my utility bills to him.

And that impresses you?

At least he cares about Sofía.

Pedro doesn't give a damn about her.

He pulls all those stunts to keep you.

Forget it.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Can I ask you something?

Why didn't you answer me on Christmas Eve?

I was really upset.

I needed you.

What am I to you?

A shoulder to cry on when Javi leaves?

After all this time? Seriously?

I'm nobody's second choice.

You never asked me to leave Javi.

You were happy with our arrangement, Albert.

Come on. So were you.

You never said, "I want you to take Javi's place."

You never said that.

And you lied to me about Pedro.

The flowers were from him.

I thought he'd give me what you couldn't.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

What do we do now?

Pedro's not my only problem.

-Where's my bag? -I have it, honey.

-Daddy! Carmen! -Sofi!

-Hi, cutie. -Hi.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

-Fine. -Where are you going?

-To say goodbye to Pumba and Pedro. -All right.

Her next ibuprofen is at 8:00 p.m.

And the paparazzo? Doesn't he wanna see us today?

-What? -We filmed a guy who was spying on us.

Javi tackled him.

He said Pedro hired him. We got our lawyer on it.

I don't know what you mean, but I've got stuff to do.

He could look for a job in his spare time 'cause your mooching days are over.

Don't worry. He'll be reinstated soon.

And don't be stingy with your daughter. You indulge yourself plenty.

Off to France, living the life, skiing, horseback riding...

What's wrong with us doing that?

She can't afford it. That's what's wrong.

-I went to say bye, but he's asleep. -You fucking idiot.

Sweetie, he has a bad back. Remember?

Can I have a kiss?

-Bye. -Bye, sweetie.

-Let's go. -Behave, okay?

Of course she will.

-Come on, kiddo. -Yay!

-What's going on? -You're under arrest.

-What do you mean, "under arrest"? -Turn around, please.

-What are you doing? Stop. -Mom!

-What? -Javi.

-You did this, you bitch! -Javi!

What are you arresting me for? I'm a fellow officer, dammit!

You better get a lawyer!

-You bitch! -Javi!

You're gonna get it!

Bye, Mommy.

I overslept, didn't I? Why didn't you wake me up?

I'll be off the meds soon. It won't happen again.

Your detective snitched on you.

Javi told me.

We'll think of something.

There must be some way to get rid of him, right?

Rosa, that child has to be yours forever. Just yours.

Idiot.

You're that horny cop, aren't you?

Run!

Rosa.

Your trial for the photo leak is coming up.

Fine.

I've got 20 minutes. What's the plan?

I won't represent you, Rosa.

Why not?

Pedro's family hired me to represent them when...

when his body was found.

Remember?

Besides, Pedro was my friend.

And the love of my life.

You'll be assigned a public defender.

Álvaro.

Where's my daughter?

With her father.

-Javi. -What?

She needs her clothes. She only has a few things here.

-Okay. We'll go buy her some. -Did you talk to her?

Yes, I told her she'll be staying here a while.

-And what else? -That's all. Why? Did she say anything?

No, but are we gonna let her find out through the news?

Besides, the photo trial is coming up. Shouldn't you talk to her?

Honey, let's wait and see how things go. Then we'll tell her.

Hello, Rosa. Good morning. I'm Carles.

Pleasure to meet you. Let's see...

Just give me a second to get...

She sent it.

I know it sounds weird.

But we're not talking about a normal person.

She's

twisted.

She enjoys hurting others.

That's not even me in the picture.

Rosa has always been very popular.

And she enjoys that kind of stuff,

recording herself.

But that's not me.

It must be... I don't know. Any of the others.

Thank you for your statement. You may go back to your seat.

We will now hear testimony from the accuser, Rosa Peral.

Please approach the stand.

Revenge porn in Barcelona's police force.

The deputy inspector was acquitted of all charges

due to lack of evidence.

Rosa Peral is currently in preventive detention

following her arrest as the alleged...

Thanks.

Your turn, Julio.

...Mossos' official sources reported

a massive hit-and-run in the upper section of La Rambla.

Around 5:00 p.m., a white Fiat van entered

the central part of the promenade at high speed

and collided with pedestrians in its path.

The investigation is advancing rapidly.

Sources at the Ministry of Interior of the Generalitat report

that it may be a terrorist attack.

-That triggered a level-4 state of alert. -Holy shit.

The vehicle pulled onto La Rambla at Plaça de Catalunya and drove...

Bastards.

...600 meters to the Joan Miró mosaic, through an area visited daily...

They're screwed 'cause we're gonna get them.

They're screwed, but you won't do shit.

The number of injuries...

They'll be your cellmates.

...some in critical condition, and there are no official reports of casualties yet.

The Mossos d'Esquadra, first responders, and local police

are engaged in a large operation

in the downtown area of the Catalan capital.

No, it wasn't a dream.

There's a block for mothers with young children.

You can see them from the yard at times.

The first month feels endless, but it gets better.

Look, I know you'll tell me to go to hell

because that's what you all do the first time I say it.

And I get it.

But there's something you have here that you didn't have outside.

Time.

Is there anything you always wanted to do? Maybe...

learn first aid,

electronics, gardening...

Rosa, even in the best case scenario,

the trial could be at least two to three years away.

I won't be here for three years.

Yes.

Inspector.

I'll call you back.

Why am I here? Tell me, why am I here?

We found Pedro's phone at your place.

So what?

We have no proof he was still alive on the 2nd.

We suspect you wrote the messages that were sent from his phone

to fabricate evidence to incriminate your ex-husband.

To mislead us.

We also went into the room in the basement.

It had been recently painted.

The first time we spoke, I saw paint on your hands.

It was the same color.

And that's a crime?

It's suspicious.

Considering we found blood spatter

on the baseboards and the light bulb in that room.

I advise you to cooperate, Rosa.

Why would I kill Pedro?

You don't need to understand a crime to prove it.

We haven't heard from your lawyer in days.

Did he drop you?

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

Now you'll go out there and tell everyone I'm a whore.

Like you did with my parents, right?

I don't think you're a whore, Rosa.

They made you feel like shit, and I thought I understood you.

My job is to find out who did it.

I can assure you, I would've loved for it not to be you.

But it wasn't me.

It wasn't me, Ester.

The truth wouldn't set you free, but it would reduce your sentence.

And more importantly, Rosa,

you'd ease the pain of Pedro's family.

I was Pedro's family.

So, I lied about the photo too, right?

Ester.

What about Albert?

Fuck!

You have a visitor.

Mr. López.

Yes. Who are you?

I'm your lawyer.

I've been told to say I was sent by everyone and no one.

Sit down.

You're the one who defends mossos and cops, right?

You're expensive.

Don't worry about that. You have good friends.

So, shall we start?

What are they staring at? Pedro's fucking friends.

They're not staring at you.

Don't lie. I just saw them.

-They're not. Chill. What's up? -Okay.

What did they say about me when I broke up with Rosa?

That Rosa was a piece of work.

-But what did they say about me? -What was there to say? Come on.

I don't know.

That's why I'm asking you.

Just let it be.

Our order, please?

What?

You know what they're like.

-So, you're not gonna tell me? -No.

-You're a nice guy, Juanjo. -Easy.

-Don't be a sissy. -You're a good person.

-I mean it. -What do you care?

Can't you see you win in the end?

Pedro is not gonna be reinstated.

He'll end up as supermarket security. Mark my words. All right?

But you'll always be a cop, okay? Or am I wrong?

-Be right back. -There you go.

Are you scared?

It seemed impossible before, but not anymore.

The impossible is just harder.

It'll work.

It's about time, right?

I know I'm not perfect, but I'd do anything for my daughter

and my loved ones.

I've had enough of this. I've reached my limit.

And everyone down there would do it too, you know?

Everyone has some bastard who's ruining their life.

But they won't do it.

They won't do it 'cause they're scared.

This is no way to live.

Hi, Mom.

How are you?

It takes two hours to get here.

I had to take three buses.

My clothes are all wrinkled.

Is Dad still sick?

Yes.

How is Sofía?

Fine.

I think so.

What? You "think so"?

Mom.

You do see her, right?

Please tell me you mention me to her.

Mom.

Please, look at me. It's me.

What's wrong?

-I don't know, Rosa. I don't know anymore... -What?

What have you done? Rosa, what have you done?

I didn't do anything, Mom.

How could I do such a thing? I didn't do anything.

I raised you well.

-I raised you well, didn't I? -Yes, Mom.

Yes.

So,

it was Albert.

I was so scared, Mom.

I had to lie.

To protect my daughter.

Wouldn't you do the same for me?

These are too big for her, aren't they?

-Are you sure they're the same size? -Yes.

Dammit. I forgot to get socks.

Anything else missing?

Listen, what if I leave you two alone?

She hasn't asked me anything yet.

Because she's afraid to, Javi.

You're not seven years old.

Its name comes from the popular belief that it devours the male...

Rosa Peral, accused...

It's Mom!

...of killing her partner...

"Mom"?

LATEST ON THE FOIX CASE

Give me the remote control.

Okay, we've watched enough TV for today.

Wanna play a game?

...both were Barcelona police officers. The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating...

What's up, Juanca? What's up, bro?

Lucky, huh?

Your turn, Julio.

Hey.

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye.

Yeah. Me neither.

Listen, bro.

It's fine if you don't want to talk. I've got time, okay?

Two years. You?

We'll see. I got myself a good lawyer. Let's see how it goes.

He better be good

because from what I saw on TV, it won't be easy, will it?

Even at my worst...

"Your worst"? Yeah, right.

You couldn't even remember your name.

How are you doing? Using again or what?

Albert!

If you need me...

Just whistle, all right?

There she is, over there.

-Hi, Dad. -Hi.

-Are you feeling better? -Yes.

Yes, I'm better now.

Look, this is Montse.

She's good. Very good.

-Shall we sit down? -Yes.

No lawyer would take our call.

She heard about it and called us, so make an effort.

Hello, Rosa.

How are you?

How are things here?

Not great, to be honest.

Keep it up.

Don't get used to it.

This place isn't for you.

And it's clear just by looking at your parents.

You called my parents?

Don't worry about the money, okay?

I heard about everything you've been through.

I'm sorry we didn't meet before.

The trial against the deputy inspector was a mockery.

We should appeal as soon as we're done with this case.

What would you have done?

First of all,

I would've framed the incident as a drop in the ocean of injustices

that female police officers face.

I would've highlighted the abuse of power

of a senior officer over a 23-year-old female subordinate.

And I would've demanded a professional examination

to prove he's lying when he claims that the penis is not his.

You would've made him drop his pants?

There are experts for everything.

They never took you seriously, Rosa.

I didn't do it.

Do you believe me?

I'm not a judge.

I'm a lawyer.

I've never told the truth about that night.

Well, that truth

is gonna help us win.

What are you waiting for?

I love you.

I love you.

-You have to do something. -If you're so uneasy, give me more.

It's simple.

What did you do, make a promise?

I didn't do anything.

What do you want?

I want to get out of here.

Just a minute.

Yes, what is it, Susi?

Thanks.

What?

It's too late.

He jumped over the fence.

He had an axe in his hand.

I was completely frozen.

And I asked him,

"Albert, what are you doing?"

But he was out of his mind.

He'd been texting me nonstop for a while.

He wanted to get back together.

But it never occurred to me that he'd do something like that.
