BURNING BODY

EPISODE 7. FACE TO FACE

ROSE - SANT JORDI DAY 3€

What?

-Let's see.
-Check this out.

-I want a rose, okay?
-Okay.

Wait, what?

I saw one with more...

THE MARKET OF BROKEN DREAMS

-Thank you.
-What?

This is the good one.

Happy Sant Jordi Day.

-This is for me?
-Wow!

-So pretty. Thank you.
-"The Market of Broken Dreams."

I want an inscription.

-Now?
-Yes.

Now.

Come on.

-Come on.
-Okay. Be right back. Hold this.

-That rose is mine, okay?
-Fine. Got it.

To the life ahead of us.
To our dreams coming true.

We may not have much money.

Your presence and your touch
are enough for me.

That's what we'll share forever.

Because I chose to live by your side.

And I'm not giving up.

How sweet.

So touching.
The worst is behind us, right?

-Yes, honey.
-Isn't it?

Breaking news in the murder
of the Barcelona police officer.

Rosa Peral has accused Albert López
of murdering Pedro Rodríguez.

She is the other suspect
and the officer's former partner.

-This is a significant twist in the case.
-There you are!

-Did Albert's jealousy kill Pedro?
-She's so famous.

-Did she really keep quiet out of fear?
-Let's listen.

Is she just a victim?

In a few minutes,
we'll go over the latest developments

in the Foix Reservoir crime.

Unbelievable. I even have
my own segment on the show now.

I'd love that. Want to trade places?

All day long on TV...

-Samanta, what are you doing there? Come!
-What's up, girls?

I have a new TV.

-Haven't you seen it?
-That's some TV!

You three, come over
anytime you feel like it.

Thank you. Yay! I like you.

Mom, when are you coming back?

Soon, sweetie.

For real?

Yes, sweetheart. I promise.

-How are you doing?
-Good.

Next week, we're going to PortAventura.

You're kidding!

Are you going with your grandparents?

With Dad and Carmen

and Carmen's brother.
He has a daughter named Julieta.

-Did you know Julieta has a guinea pig?
-No, I didn't.

-I spy with my little eye...
-What do you spy?

-Something that starts with...
-With what letter?

With the letter...

The letter A.

Hi.

Hi, Dad.

-Hi, Carmen.
-Hi.

It's Mom. She says she'll be back soon.

Sofía, sweetie, listen to me.

When I get out of here,

we'll play all the games you want, okay?

Mom is here because they think
I've done something bad.

But it's not true.
I told them it's not true. Okay, sweetie?

Okay.

Okay, honey? Everything will be fine.

Listen, Sofía.

If your grandparents call her again
when you're with them,

you tell them
you'll only speak to her if I'm present.

Okay? It's very important, Sofía.
Will you remember that?

Mom just told me
she didn't do anything bad.

Okay. Don't worry about it anymore.

That's not true, is it?

We don't know.
So it's best not to think about it.

Hey, we bought ice cream. You want some?

What's wrong?

I saw blood.

So, what can we do now?

We have to get your truth out there.

What do you mean, "my truth"? The truth!

The only truth in what she said is
that I jumped the fence.

And I only did it because she asked me to,
so the neighbors wouldn't hear me.

She said I had an axe. Fucking bitch!

She tricked you and used you,
and now she wants you to take the fall.

What did you say she called you?
That nickname... You said...

Dummy.

That's it. Dummy.

You were her dummy.

She's a textbook manipulator.
She seduced and used you.

No damn way I'm saying I'm the dummy here.

I'm no fool, okay?

-I'm not stupid.
-Of course, you're more than that.

But you need to calm down
and listen to me.

A woman, a murderous mother...

Nobody remembers the fool.

But a black widow is not easily forgotten.

Think about it.

Today is an important day
in the Pedro Rodríguez case.

The defendants,
Rosa Peral and Albert López,

will visit the house
where the murder presumably took place.

A judiciary delegation will be with them
for the reenactment of the crime.

The lovers will present
their conflicting versions,

accusing each other
of the officer's murder.

Just think that you'll be back here.

Good morning.

Are we all here?

Let's proceed.

We are here so you can tell us
what happened that night.

Step by step. Be clear and accurate.

If during your time here
you remember something

you omitted in your statements, say so.

The truth is all that matters.

It was about 2:00 a.m.

I couldn't sleep, so I came to do laundry.

Pedro was in the room downstairs.

Asleep, I suppose.

I heard something outside.

I came out here,

and I saw Albert.

He had jumped over the fence
and was holding an axe.

I was really scared.

You didn't scream?

I knew what he was capable of
in a violent state.

He had this

vacant stare, like a madman.

I was very scared.

My daughter was in her room upstairs.

Then Albert said,

"Where's Pedro? Where is he?
Give me your phone."

He was really aggressive,
so I had to give it up.

I told him Pedro was downstairs,
and he went after him.

I ran upstairs to protect my daughter.

Let's go upstairs.

Show us what you did.

I locked myself in here.

I didn't know what to do.

What could I do?
Jump out the window with a little girl?

I did whatever I could
so she wouldn't realize what was going on.

You don't know the damage he did.

You have no idea.

In your statement,
you claim you heard blows

coming from the room downstairs.

Are they ready?

-Ready?
-Affirmative.

-Let's go.
-Let's begin.

Copy that.

Enough.

Okay, that's enough.

Copy that.

Yes, I was here that night.

She called me. She was desperate.

She said she needed my help
because she'd just killed Pedro.

That's not what you said
in your statement.

I know, but I was
very nervous at the time.

I wanted to protect her.

But this is what happened.

She said Pedro had hit her. I believed her
because they weren't doing well,

and he'd sometimes get violent.

That's why he was suspended.

Then she told me
she thought she had killed Pedro.

I asked her,
"What the hell have you done?"

The body was on the sofa,
and there was a lot of blood.

-Where was his head?
-His head was on that side.

Then she asked me
to help her move the body.

Were you aware that covering up the crime
could've resulted in a prison sentence?

Of course.
That's the first thing I told her.

"Let's go to the precinct. Tell them
what happened, and they'll help you."

She said, "No, they won't believe me.
I'll lose custody of my child."

I felt sorry for her.

It was the biggest mistake of my life.

Because I decided
to help this woman and say nothing.

I did it out of loyalty,
given our history.

But I can't remain loyal to someone

who doesn't deserve it
and won't stop spewing lies about me.

And I think it's better to tell the truth
and let justice be served.

For the sake of the deceased.

The trial over the death
of Officer Pedro Rodríguez

will begin next week
at the Barcelona courthouse.

Rosa Peral and Albert López
have been in custody for three years.

They will finally come face to face.

As we've previously reported,

the couple blame each other for the crime.

The time has come to put their stories
to the test in front of a public jury,

which will decide their fate.

Now, on to our headline stories
of the day. Outrage amongst...

Well done, Albert. The best.

EXCELLENT!

Tired of watching yourself on TV?

I don't get tired of watching myself.

You're the new one, right?

Watch out for these chicks.

Look who's talking.

What?

She's the one we told you about.

Queen bee.

If you stop serving her for one day,
you get stabbed in the back.

"Stabbed in the back." Yeah, right.
You're the backstabber, honey.

You snitched on me to the guards.

-You think it's funny?
-Actually, I do.

-Smartie smuggled in a phone.
-Yes. To talk to my daughter.

Forget about the girl.
She's better off now.

What did you say about my daughter?

Okay, stop it.

Montse, I can't put up
with this disrespect. Understand?

Of course I do, Rosa.

But you need to understand
that Albert is behaving like a monk.

He's been rewarded for good behavior.
You've been transferred four times.

Albert has nothing to miss outside.
I miss everything.

Well, that's fine.

Then do it for her.

You didn't bring clippings today.

What for? Nothing has changed.

"The femme fatale and the poor brute."

Rosa, listen.

It doesn't...

it doesn't help that you haven't asked
to see your child in three years.

I know.

I don't want her to see me here.

Okay. Let's get started with this, please.

Yes.

Oh, Rosa, before we begin,

what I'm gonna tell you will piss you off.

I'd rather you hear it from me
so you get over it here and now.

What is it?

-Your ex-husband.
-What?

He's going to do a TV interview.

Now. Just as the trial's about to start.

How much are they paying you
to destroy her?

-Me? "Destroy her"? She does it herself.
-Come on. How much?

-Not enough. I can't take this anymore.
-This will only add fuel to the fire.

I'm sick of being caught
in the middle of this.

I'm the cuckold and haven't said a word.

Well, we could tell the world
that you barely let us see the girl.

Or that you keep
her mother's letters from her.

Or that they never talk on the phone.

If I were a murderer, would you want me
in your granddaughter's life?

Sofía isn't so little anymore.
She understands everything.

-This is Rosa's fault for what she did.
-We agreed not to discuss it.

-It's hard not to.
-That son of a bitch Albert did it!

Come on, Juan!
Even your granddaughter knows the truth.

Well, it would seem that...

Sofía told them
the same thing she told me.

What?

Well...

that night,

she heard things and...

saw things.

Of course she heard things, Dad.

There were screams and blows.
It was horrible.

She says she saw you stained with blood.

That's a lie.

Javi and that bitch made that up, Mom.

First an interview and now this. Really?

Can't you see they're out to get me?

Those bastards
want to take my daughter away.

Mom, she's a child.

She must've dreamt it.

You need to talk to her, Mom.

Mom.

You need to make her understand

that we were so scared that night

that she can't tell
her dreams from reality.

Well,

we agreed with Javi

that it was best
not to bring this up in front of her.

He's right about that.

Sofía is doing well.

She's moving on.

I'm sure Javi will mention it
in the interview.

Rosa,

why don't you want to see her?

Tell her to come.

Talk to her.

Today is a very important day
for many people

who have worked for years on this case.

From a law enforcement perspective,
we have no doubt

that Albert López
and Rosa Peral are the culprits.

That's why it's an important day.

Because it's time
for the judicial system to step up

and settle this case once and for all.

-Okay, thank you.
-Thank you.

-How are you?
-Better than the last time we met.

-Everything okay with your son?
-Yes.

I'm glad.
We promised we'd meet before the trial.

Here we are.

We're the worst.

-I saw you in the documentary.
-Oh God.

Well, it was my first time
in front of a camera.

I was a bit nervous. I did terrible.

But the podcast is turning out
much better. Do you listen to it?

It's okay. You know the whole case.

-Except what actually happened.
-We know what happened.

We know, and it's thanks to you.

You earned a spot
in our country's dark history.

-Here she comes!
-Whore!

-Bastard!
-There's the van, come on!

Let's go!

Showtime.

Whore!

-Whore!
-Murderer!

Whore! Murderer!

Murderer! Bitch!

Rosa is enjoying it.

Rosa Peral and Pedro Rodríguez
loved each other.

They loved each other
deeply and passionately.

They were the perfect couple.

They hoped to enjoy their love,

have children,

and grow old together.

"Because I chose to live by your side
and I'm not giving up."

"I want to grow old by your side
and be able to say,

'We did it.'"

Are those the words of a woman

who, just eight days later,
kills her boyfriend

and burns his body in the woods at night?

Pedro also gave Rosa a book.

An erotic book. One she'd enjoy.

DARK SECRETS

What I truly want is
to live a life with you

where we never hurt each other again.

There's only one thing I'm sure of.
You are my life,

and I offer you mine.

Make use of it and enjoy it.

"Make use of it and enjoy it."

"I only have one."

I repeat.

"Where we never hurt each other again."

A perfect couple.

Three of the four months
Rosa and Pedro lived together

were plagued by arguments,
jealous outbursts, and shouting.

My client has been the scapegoat
for a toxic relationship

that ended with Rosa murdering Pedro.

Why would she do it?

A young woman

who worked a respectable job
serving the community.

Loved by family and friends,

who had a good life.

She's a mother.

Why would she kill her partner?

Please, this is the 21st century.

If Rosa wanted to leave Pedro,
she would have done it.

Forget about
what a normal person would do.

We're talking about Ms. Rosa Peral.

Unstable, impulsive, insatiable,
a pathological liar...

Yes.

She's the star in this case. No doubt.

Everybody knows her name.

Far fewer people know the name
of the other defendant, Mr. Albert López.

I'll tell you why.

It should be no surprise,
knowing how the world works.

Rosa's love life wasn't conventional.

That is, of course, no crime.
Yet she has been vilified for it.

Fortunately, the time has come

to set prejudice aside
and move on to the actual trial.

And in it, Rosa is a victim.

Albert is a victim.

Firstly, of his own sense of loyalty,

which led him
to put Rosa's interests above his own

when she told him what she'd done.

Rosa met the love of her life.

And Mr. Albert López,

with whom she had had
an unsatisfactory relationship prior,

couldn't bear it.

In Mr. López's employment record,

we find ample indications
of his violent nature.

In 2012, he was fined
for beating up a street vendor.

In 2014, he was the subject
of an investigation

into the mysterious fall
of a homeless man in Montjuïc.

The man ended up dead.

I give you

Rosa and the devil.

On behalf of the prosecution,

I congratulate the attorneys
for their accounts.

They were moving. Epic.

Great love, unwavering loyalty,
fear, sexism...

But let me remind you of one thing.

This is a courtroom, not a stage.

The only valid account here is the truth.

That is what I will reveal
with the help of the witnesses.

Good morning, Ms. Rosa.

Good morning.

When was that photo taken?
The one that Albert's attorney showed us.

On May 4th.

At that point, Pedro Rodríguez
had been dead for almost three days.

As you stated,

your ex-partner's murderer was
the person by your side in the photo.

Mr. Albert López.

That's right.

Remind us why you hid that fact
from the police for days.

Because I was afraid

of what Albert might do

to me or to my daughter.

You were very afraid.

Yes.

Yes, I was.

No, not at all. She didn't seem scared.

She was relaxed when she arrived.
She was with Albert.

They arrived at the same time?

And on the same motorbike.

How many police officers
attended that dinner?

I don't know.

Maybe 20.

You were surrounded by police.
It was the perfect time to ask for help.

I didn't see them as police officers.
I saw them as his friends.

Why did you attend that dinner?

Because Albert asked me to.

We...

encouraged her.

Well, Pedro...

had disappeared, and...

Or so we thought.

So we thought she could use a little...

distraction.

But she didn't feel like going.

She laughed, danced...

She had a fucking blast.

Albert asked me to pretend,
to avoid suspicion.

I did the best I could.

I can assure you it wasn't easy.

My life was at stake.

Of course she was happy,
happy and appreciative of me.

She had just gotten rid of her abuser,

and I had helped her cover it up.

You didn't seem too traumatized
for having just disposed of a body.

The body of a fellow officer.

Well, if I may say so, in that photo,

I only see one happy person.

And at no point did it cross your mind

to tell the truth
to one of your police friends there?

This lady made me promise her
a thousand times,

and I had sworn to her
that I would not tell anyone.

-And I didn't want to betray her.
-You were a police officer.

Yes, I know that.

But I'm also a man of my word.

The day after the funeral,

a group of us went
to Rosa's place to keep her company.

And Albert was with the group.

Yes.

Was he always at those gatherings?
Was he in that friend group?

No. He wasn't usually with us.

No. He wasn't my friend.

But I couldn't get him off my back
after what he did.

He kept a close eye on me
so I wouldn't tell anybody.

Did Rosa seem scared to you?

Not of Albert.

What do you mean?

Well, Javi, her ex-husband,

came to offer his condolences.

She went crazy, yelled at him,
and threw a glass at him.

She was completely out of control.

And when Javi left...

she said that...

Javi had killed Pedro.

Your friend,

Ms. Almudena,

stated that you told her that it was
your ex-husband, Mr. Javier Guerrero,

who killed Pedro.

Yes. It was part of Albert's plan.

He needed a culprit.

Why would I want to blame her ex-husband?

He knew Javi and Pedro hated each other.

She would benefit from that

because they were always fighting
over custody of their child.

And she decided to use Pedro's death

to get rid of her ex-husband too.

She even told me,
"Two birds with one stone."

Your ex-wife, Rosa Peral,
tried to implicate you in the murder.

I've tried to forget about that.

What was your relationship
with Pedro Rodríguez like?

Cordial. Pedro seemed like a nice guy.

I was happy
that their relationship was stable.

That was good for everyone.

Did you know Albert López?

Yes, as a colleague of my wife.
My ex-wife.

She now says
that Albert was a violent man.

-She says she was always afraid of him.
-She never told me that.

I guess if they were together
for all those years, it must have been

because they got along well.

Bastard.

But you were also
with a potential murderer for a long time.

You married her.

Take that.

How is your daughter?

I'd rather not talk about her.

Fine. Back to Rosa.

During your marriage,
did you know she was unfaithful?

She was always a good liar.

During our marriage and afterwards,
during our custody dispute.

She's an expert manipulator.

She won't think twice
when it comes to getting what she wants.

Rosa Peral has a long history
of scandals and affairs with other men...

Were you and Mr. Albert
in a romantic relationship

at the time of the crime?

No, not at all.

I was happy with Pedro.

We weren't the perfect couple.

We had our share of good and bad days,
just like everyone else.

But Pedro would do anything for me.

From day one.

They made a wonderful couple.

Wonderful.

They had plans for the future and...

and supported each other in every way.

He adored my daughter.

As if she were his own.

Pedro was like that.

Loyal, noble, passionate...

The most wonderful person in the world.

I couldn't have found
another man like him.

She was with Pedro,
and I was happily going about my life.

I did the things I liked doing.

I worked, trained,
hung out with friends, and traveled.

Albert arrived at the patio
where we were sitting and said,

"Here. In case you change your mind."

And he left a box on the table.

When Rosa opened the box,

we saw it was a ring.

It was very tacky, to be honest.

And how did Albert find you?

There are so many patios in Barcelona.

That surprised me too.

I said that to her, but...

she said she didn't know.

The jury has access to the call log.

It proves that on that day,

Albert and Rosa had spoken
a few minutes before that encounter.

They were no longer patrol partners
but kept in touch.

On a daily basis.

Continue.

He didn't say anything else.
He left the box and went on his way.

How did Rosa react?
Was she scared? Did she ask for help?

No.

I'd say that...

it amused her.

Yes, because it was an inside joke we had.

But weren't you "going about" your life?

Yes, but we still got along.
And one day, she said,

"You're not very thoughtful.
You never gave me flowers."

So I said, "What?
Forget flowers. I'll give you a ring."

It was just a joke to prove her wrong.

That's very different
from a real proposal.

When he found out I was with Pedro,

he lost it.

He was consumed by jealousy.

He kept calling me.

He harassed me.

I told him where I was
and who I was with so he'd...

so he'd see I was busy
and would leave me alone.

Then he showed up

and pulled the ring stunt.

And why would he propose
to someone he wasn't even dating?

Because he heard Pedro had just proposed.

As simple as that.
Albert lives to compete.

What did you do with the ring?

I gave it back to him
when we met a few days later.

This photo

was recovered from the deleted data
on Ms. Rosa's phone.

Yes, that's it.

That's the ring Albert gave her.

And you replied
to that photo with this one.

How else would I respond
to a photo like that?

She had already sent me others like it
when she was with her husband.

I thought, "She knows what she's doing."
I played along.

Another joke?

Yes.

Your Honor, I'd like to call
the next witness to the stand.

At the request of the prosecution,

we will now hear the testimony
of Mr. Juan José Nera Rius.

First, I wanted to say that

I'm not a snitch or anything like that.

And I want that to be clear, please.

Nobody thinks you are.

Have some water if you need it.

Excuse me.

That day, there had been
a homicide in Zona Franca,

and you two were dispatched for backup.
Am I correct?

Yes, sir.

Can you tell us about the conversation
you had with Mr. Albert?

Don't worry.

I'm sorry, man.

It's nothing. Just an altercation
between neighbors. No mafia stuff.

Dammit. The narcos
have been at it for a whole month,

and I haven't caught a damn whiff.

You're deluded.

-Deluded?
-You're deluded.

Why? Narcos are on a whole other level.

-Is that so?
-Yes, man. You have no clue.

Look, the guy who did this
left in a hurry.

So he can consider himself screwed.

In his rush, he probably left
the body full of clues and prints.

Narcos don't leave prints, do they?

-No.
-Right.

-You belong on CSI.
-Shut up. What do you mean, CSI?

No, dude. My friends in the mossos
tell me about it. I love that stuff.

Your mossos friends?

Don't laugh, okay? Look, just between us,

I'm thinking about going into forensics.

I'll study hard and apply.

-Really?
-Yeah.

That's great.

Awesome, man.

Here's a test question.
What would a narco have done here?

-Done about what?
-What you were saying.

How do you avoid
getting caught when you kill a guy?

Excuse me.

Was that the question?

"How do you avoid getting caught
when you kill a guy?"

Yes, sir.

And what did you tell him?

Well...

I told him that what they usually do
in these cases is...

is put the body in the trunk of a car...

Take it to some remote place.
Wherever, a field,

a scrapyard, or something like that.
And then you set the car on fire.

-And that's it.
-Okay. Why a field?

Any place where firefighters
would have a tough time entering.

A place where not a soul goes by.
You know? So the car can really burn.

Trust me, you won't find
any prints or bones.

Absolutely nothing.

Okay, you're nuts,
but I'm sure you'll ace that test.

And I haven't even started studying yet.

You're a natural.

Thank you.

-You may step down.
-Thank you.

He's a person whose aspirations

are beyond his actual capabilities.

He barely made it on the force.

Now thinks he's a detective. He wishes
he was in forensics, but he's not.

He means no harm.

But he's spun a whole story
in his mind. I'm telling you.

You never doubted
Rosa's version of what happened?

She was my friend.

I believed her.

And then I realized
all the times she had lied to me.

She used me.

Do you think she could have
planned Pedro Rodriguez's murder

alongside Albert Lopez?

Knowing everything I know now...

I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

Stop looking at me like that.

Members of the jury,

if you think you'll have to choose

between the two narratives
presented by both defendants,

you'll be relieved
to know that isn't the case.

The events could've never happened
the way they described them.

As I mentioned at the beginning,
there is a third story.

The true story.

What really happened that night?

Senseless evil does exist,
even if it's difficult for us to admit.

We'll hear from the only person
who can provide a detailed account

of the events that unfolded
on the night of May 1st.

With Your Honor's permission,

I call to the stand
Inspector Ester Varona,

head of the criminal investigation
of this case. Please approach the stand.
