BURNING BODY

EPISODE 5- LOVE

[Christmas music playing]

[Pedro] We are gonna pig out! We are gonna pig out!

[Pedro laughs]

[Rosa] Oy.

[Christmas music stops]

- [Rosa] Oh boy. How annoying. - Hey.

- What's up? - [Rosa sighs]

Huh? What is it?

I'm sure Javi stayed with Sofía just to spite me.

Well, you'll have her here tomorrow, right?

And you gave her Christmas presents.

So what?

I haven't given mine.

- But let me tell you something. - What?

Being here alone does have its upsides.

Right?

- Huh? - [chuckles]

[Pedro] Hmm.

Come on. Let's dig in.

Did you know my father used to hide a thousand little trinkets in the cake?

Oh, really? [laughs]

Sometimes earrings. Sometimes little dolls.

- Mmm. - Even money. Stuff like that.

Good old Juan. [laughs]

Okay, let's see what we've got. Oh!

- [Rosa] What? - No!

- Oh shit. - [Rosa laughing]

Look.

- Are you serious? - I got the bean.

[Rosa chuckles]

Am I always the one that has to pay, or what?

Let's see.

- Me getting the king would be perfect. - Mmm.

- Or the queen. - No. No.

There isn't one.

Only broad beans today.

[motorcycle engine revving in distance]

Next year,

we tell your father he's in charge of making the cake.

I've never danced for you.

[breathing heavily]

["Yo marco el minuto" playing in distance]

[Albert] You are a whore.

A fucking whore and a liar.

If I ever hang up my uniform, I swear I'll come after you.

I don't give a shit about you.

[man] Anxiety about what?

I'm going to break up with Albert.

Well, I'm sorry.

Is that why he went on vacation all of a sudden?

You'll have to ask your doctor for sick leave.

I'll see what I can do.

[Rosa] Thank you.

[lively music playing]

[festive chattering]

- [Albert] Come here. - I'm here, baby.

Sit down here.

Come on, smile now.

Like this? Mmm!

- [camera shutter clicking] - You are gorgeous.

[crowd cheering]

[festive music playing in background]

[Albert sighs]

What is it? Can't you sleep?

[sighs]

I was going to give up everything to move in with you and your child.

And take care of you.

I was going to change for you.

And you choose that scum?

Every time I see him at the precinct,

I'll remember he's fucking the love of my life.

You broke my heart, Rosa.

[phone chimes]

[unsettling music playing]

You don't understand.

He will never be what you've been to me.

He doesn't have me.

I have only ever been yours, and I'll only ever be yours.

That fucking bitch. Ugh, I'm an asshole.

[exhales]

[unsettling music intensifies]

WE STILL HAVE LOTS OF THINGS TO DO... BUT TOGETHER, WE ARE ONE, REMEMBER?

[phone buzzing]

[sniffles]

I WAS GONNA GIVE IT ALL UP... AND YOU GO OFF WITH THAT CREEP?

DON'T EVER TALK TO ME. I JUST WANNA FORGET YOU.

[Pedro] Rosa!

What's the matter?

What the hell is this?

What?

[Pedro breathing heavily]

What the hell is that?

I have no idea.

Are you sure?

- [exhales] I didn't write any of this. - Are you fucking him?

What'd you say?

- What? No. - Look.

- Um, "We are one." - Yeah, yeah, I know.

- This is not... Just listen, Pedro. - And, uh, no. No.

"He will never be what you've been to me. I've only ever been yours."

This guy's a son of a bitch. I didn't write this stuff, okay?

- Are you fucking him? - What are you saying?

- You are fucking him. - Hey, hey! No! No, no, no! No, I'm not.

- Are you fucking him? Stop lying to me! - No, no. Hey, listen to me.

No, I'm not lying!

Okay? I'm not lying to you! I swear! I'm not lying to you!

My love...

- [Pedro sobs] - Hey.

You look after my daughter. You take care of my daughter. My love.

- [Pedro sobs] - Baby.

Hey, babe. Babe, babe. Come on.

I'm so stupid!

- I could lose my son because of a slut! - No!

I'm so stupid! I could lose my son because of a slut!

[screams] You fucking bitch! You fucking bitch!

[Rosa gasps]

[dramatic music playing]

- Pedro. Pedro! - You've ruined my fucking life!

- You've ruined my fucking life! - I'm sorry, but...

You've ruined my fucking life! Motherfucker!

- Honey, honey, honey! No! - You fucking bitch!

- Listen to me! - You've ruined my fucking life!

Motherfucker! You fucking bitch!

[sobbing]

Pedro.

[dramatic music continues]

[crying] Pedro, please don't leave. I'm begging you. No.

[Silvia] With Pedro, it was all or nothing.

He would fall in love like a 15-year-old.

He loved all those kinds of things.

That is the presents, the dates, the promises.

"Or nothing."

And everything had to be perfect, or he'd start to get suspicious.

- He was jealous. - Yes.

And that's why it's hard for me to believe that everything was fine with Rosa.

[man 1] I talked to Silvia a few days ago.

I told her that Rosa

wasn't what Pedro expected.

There had been a lot going on, and he...

Well, what do I know?

So, what exactly had been going on?

Well, for starters, the thing with Albert.

In what ways could that have affected their relationship?

It must have driven him nuts.

Pedro left her.

But a few days later, he went back.

I may be paranoid because of what happened to him, but...

to me, this message doesn't sound like him.

Pedro is more of a voice message guy.

I WAS IN THE SHOWER, NÉSTOR. MY CHICK SAID YOU CALLED. NEED ANYTHING?

[unsettling music playing]

Do you have any idea who might have written those messages from Pedro?

He sent them... shortly after I called him,

and... and he didn't pick up.

Well,

I mean that he didn't pick up.

[Ester] She answered him. Rosa, on the 2nd.

[Eduard] And she said Pedro couldn't answer.

[TV reporter] The investigation continues,

and according to police sources, they're making progress.

The motive of revenge has been ruled out,

and it is now believed it may actually have been a crime of passion.

The Pedro Rodríguez and Rosa Peral case is surrounded by absolute secrecy

until further investigation is available.

For now, the suspects are cooperating with the criminal investigation...

[unsettling music continues]

[phone line ringing]

[phone buzzing]

- Somebody's asking for you. - Who is it?

You never told me that you had a brother.

Wait. My brother's downstairs?

Mm-hmm.

I never mentioned him?

- Nope. - I just haven't seen him in a long time.

Yeah, sure.

[door buzzing]

What's up, Albert?

What's up?

Let's go outside.

[siren wailing]

[lighter clicks]

Looks good on you, huh?

The... the uniform.

- Do you know who you look like? - [chuckles]

Our fucking old man, right?

- You're his spitting image. - Well, the lesser of two evils, I guess.

I didn't realize you were getting out today.

It's okay, brother.

So, what are your plans?

Stay out of jail.

Albert, I'm clean, huh?

That's great to hear. We'll see if it's true this time.

Besides, a buddy of mine got me a job. Some guy I met in prison, yeah?

Showing apartments for his brother-in-law's company.

- Is it legit, man? - All legit. All legit.

- Good. - Legal.

What else? Come on, I see it coming. You need something, right?

Albert, don't get upset, okay? I... I'll sort myself out quick, yeah?

I just don't have a place to stay.

Hey, let's go. Let's go.

- Have you eaten yet? - [brother] No, I have not.

[phone line ringing]

[phone line ringing]

- [Ester] Hey, Rosa. How are you? - Fine, fine. Just fine.

[sniffles]

I saw my parents, and they told me that you called them in for a statement.

They're actually a little bit worried.

No news. There's no need to worry. I just wanted to confirm some info.

Your parents have been very kind. I'm sorry to have bothered them.

Listen, may I bother you for a minute as well?

Of course. It's no bother.

What was the name of that shop that Pedro had to make a payment at on the 2nd?

Navarro.

We're getting very close, Rosa.

As soon as we have something solid, you'll be the first to know.

- Okay. - Thank you.

[sighs]

Hi, Mommy.

Hi, little princess.

Lovebug. Where's Gramps?

- Outside. - Mm-hmm.

He told me you're taking me to the park.

- Did he tell you that? When? - Mm-hmm.

Just now.

I'm not taking you to the park.

Know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna take you to a much, much better place.

Excited?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

- [bell ringing] - [people exclaiming]

[Sofía screaming]

[Rosa laughing]

[ethereal music playing]

[ethereal music fades]

[imitating motor] Daddy's coming!

[imitating motor revving]

These are the bad guys.

[imitating motor revving, siren wailing]

[imitating crashing]

Out of the way! That's it.

[imitating motor revving]

- I'm off, okay? Be right back. - Okay.

- This is Daddy's bike. - Do you wanna talk?

About what?

Your mother told me you've been staying at her place

these past few days.

We're having work done at the house.

Okay.

You don't know her, Pedro. I've told you. You've been irresponsible.

Weren't you leaving?

One hour, and you leave when I come back.

- Fine. - [boy babbles]

[vehicle approaching]

[brakes squeak]

- [Javi] Kiddo! - Daddy!

[Javi] Sofi, come here.

Ah! [laughs]

[kissing] I was dying to see you.

Hey, how are you? I'm Carmen.

I'm preparing a chocolate cake. Would you like to help me, honey?

- [Javi chuckles] - Sure.

- Bye, Mom. - [Rosa] Oh, sweetie. [kisses]

- I love you, okay? - [Sofía] Yeah.

- [Rosa] Behave yourself. - She will.

[Sofía] Bye, Mom.

- I'll pick her up tomorrow at 6:00. - Her cousins are coming at 5:00.

Please let her stay for dinner.

- At 6:00. - Rosa...

[exhales]

[car door opens]

[unsettling music playing]

Pedro. My love.

I am so lucky to have found you.

I was so lost before we ever met.

I didn't know what true love was.

I want everyone to know how happy you've made me.

POST

[motorcycle engine revving]

[dramatic music playing]

[Pedro breathing heavily]

[dramatic music intensifies]

- [Pedro] I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

[Pedro] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Pedro] Forever?

[whispers] Forever.

[Pedro sniffles]

- [Pedro] I'm gonna ask her to marry me. - [Néstor] Cut the shit!

- [Pedro] I want you to be my best man. - [Néstor] Don't fuck with me.

- [Pedro] You deserve everything, bro. - Stop that. Hey! Psst.

You don't owe me anything.

[Pedro] I was completely out of control, and you know it.

[Néstor] Forget it. It's all good, man. Huh?

But, hey, you don't have to get married now, do you?

Why's that?

Hell, man, I just mean that you actually haven't known Rosa that long, Pedro.

Besides, you already know she is a little bit...

A bit what?

You know what I mean, dude.

She's...

Everybody says that... that she gets around.

That she plays the field, hmm?

That's just because she hadn't found the right man yet.

Now she has.

I'm not just anybody, damn it.

Do you know why she changed precincts?

[Pedro] Let's hear it. Why?

[can opening]

[unsettling music playing]

- [Pedro] Rosa. - Hi.

Remember my friend Álvaro, the lawyer?

- Yes. How are you? - How are you? Nice to see you.

- Likewise. - Although it bugs me why, to be honest.

Álvaro is really good. Huh? He got my parents out of trouble, right?

And I was just thinking that

Álvaro might be able to lend you a hand with the lawsuit

against that son of a bitch that shared that picture of you.

[Álvaro] I saw that it's coming up soon.

Uh, I don't know if you have a strategy or have somebody on it or...

Um...

Mmm, no, no. Actually, I was gonna go with a public defender.

No one in the force supported her. Quite the opposite.

Well, except the one that matters. [laughs]

I won't let anyone screw you over. Let's go get him, huh?

[Álvaro] If you're okay with it, we can gather the documents

and start figuring out how to protect you so you'll be less vulnerable.

- Okay? - Okay.

- Yeah? Want a drink? - A beer is fine.

- [Pedro] Let's get that son of a bitch! - Thanks. Absolutely.

[dishes clatter]

[Rosa] Honey, I didn't tell you anything because I didn't even know you.

Besides, it's something that happened ages ago.

It's fine.

[Rosa sighs]

All that shit coming out again makes me sick.

It's gonna get ugly, Rosa.

You know what people are like.

And if they're cops, it's worse.

Honestly, I thought about dropping it many times,

but I think I should take the bull by the horns.

Don't you think?

We'll do it together, Rosa.

You can put your trust in me. For this and for everything else.

Can I?

- Can you what? - Can I trust you?

Of course you can trust me.

Seven, six, nine, zero.

My password. To show my trust.

There you go.

[tense music playing]

My queen.

[indistinct commentary playing]

[footsteps approaching]

I'm off to bed.

Come.

[TV shuts off]

What?

Sit with me.

[Rosa breathes deeply]

[Pedro exhales]

What?

[whispers] Will you marry me?

[ethereal music playing]

You're nuts. [chuckles]

Would I even be here if I wasn't?

Tell me who else in the world would have given up everything for you like that.

Come on. Say yes.

And let's forget about the bad stuff. Both of us.

Come on.

And where's my ring?

Imagine the best one. That's what it's gonna be.

[Pedro laughs]

[Pedro laughs]

[chiming]

[gate opens]

[gate closes]

[Pedro] And there she is.

- Hello, little princess. - Hi, Mommy.

[Rosa laughs]

- Give me a hand? - Yes.

- Why so late? Where have you been? - [Rosa] What?

At the spa. Isn't it obvious? [chuckles]

I bumped into my parents at the supermarket.

[gate opens]

- [Rosa] Let's go. - Oh, hi!

- Hi! - [Pedro] Hi.

- [Sofía] Hi, Gramps! - Hello, sweetie!

- [Juan] Hi, little one! - What's going on? Oh my God.

Who's this little cupcake? I've been looking forward to meeting him.

- [Juan] He's the spitting image of you! - [Rosamari] Yes!

I hope Rosa's one takes after me.

- Fair enough. - Please. Come on, Juan.

Don't do that to your future grandson with a father like this.

Look at her. All flattery.

[Juan] Oh, if you only knew.

[Rosamari] Hey, Rosa says you called the doctor I recommended.

[Pedro] Yes.

[Rosamari] Ah. Do you have a date for the surgery?

- [Pedro] This coming week. - [Rosamari] I'm so glad.

Hopefully, you'll be fully recovered in no time.

[unsettling music playing]

14 NEW MESSAGES UNKNOWN

I'm gonna see my parents.

I'm in heaven with the meds they gave me for my back, huh?

Yeah, I can tell.

Well, I'm off, okay? I'll send you the location.

[lips smack]

[engine shuts off]

[door opens]

[door locks click]

Hello.

What's up?

All good?

Yes, and you?

I'm fine. [chuckles]

Come in.

[Rosa chuckles]

Well, I'm glad in the end that you're taking it to court.

I had no choice.

Yeah, but

it's the right thing to do.

And this other guy?

Are you still seeing him?

We're getting married.

Are you kidding me?

Are you serious?

Pedro's not perfect, but I see a future with him.

All right, then.

Okay.

[sighs]

Congratulations.

[Rosa sighs]

I don't even know why I'm here.

Well, that's that, huh?

I'm leaving, okay?

[pensive music playing]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[moaning]

- So, you got a girlfriend? - [Albert] Of course I do.

That's my boy!

Okay, so is it pretty serious?

Yeah, we've already seen a house and everything, you know?

- Damn! A house? - The house doesn't matter.

But, man, look at you. You have everything you wanted.

A girlfriend, a house, the uniform. You fucking rule, little brother.

Shit, let me give you a hug.

Listen, are you serious this time around, or what?

Or are you gonna spend your whole life in and out of jail?

Dead serious.

Swear to God.

Okay, then there's two things you should know, right?

The first one is, know what you want.

- You want a house, you want a girlfriend... - Mm-hmm.

- The whole package? - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Then fight for it.

But the most important thing, and nobody tells you this,

is to know what you don't want.

And then you go, and you throw it all away.

- [laughs] - Trust me on this.

- You are the fucking man. - Huh.

Albert, damn.

And look, I'm gonna start with this, but not just yet.

- [Albert] Some other day, then. - I mean, quit and all.

[chuckles] You fucking rule.

- [Albert] Yeah, right. - You fucking rule, bro.

We went to the theme park.

- Yeah? - Mmm.

Well, that's good, huh?

- You need to distract her. - I know.

[scoffs] I'm so glad Javi actually had nothing to do with it.

Especially for Sofía's sake.

I don't know.

- Almu! - Mmm?

- Enough. Hey, stop that. - All right, fine!

Enough. Stop that.

- Please, stop. - Okay.

Whatever.

[exhales]

And so, who are they going after now?

I'm not sure. They don't know yet.

But they do keep you posted?

[Almu sighs]

And I've been thinking about it every single day.

[sirens wailing]

[woman] You've won the lottery with Pedro!

[Almu] It's gorgeous.

Boy, I told myself,

"I'm not gonna say anything to the girls until I at least have a date."

But I just couldn't resist the temptation. Have you actually seen this?

- [girls laugh] - Girl!

- You and I should really catch up, huh? - Oof! No way, no way.

- [Rosa] What? - I'm doing fine like this.

- [Rosa] Yeah? Like what? - Like being alone.

Sure. When you see me dressed in white

with my prince at the villa... [tuts] ...you'll change your mind.

Good morning.

[Almu] Hello.

[object taps table]

Here you go.

Think about it.

- [Almu laughs] - [woman] What's this?

Let's see.

[woman laughs]

[woman laughs]

Is this an inside joke of yours, or what just happened?

How should I know?

Why did you never tell us?

Because there's nothing to tell. I don't... I guess he must like me too.

- Then how did he know you were here? - [laughs] I don't know.

How should I know? I'm freaking out.

- [Almu] This is... - [chuckles]

[woman laughs]

- [woman] Girl! - The fuck?

[laughing]

- [Rosa] It's just... - [woman laughs]

[woman] This is so weird.

[man on TV] Are you aware that our team of renowned international scientists

has developed the most advanced regeneration program in the entire world?

We are the ones

capable of regenerating up to 75% of the human organism.

Prodigy Health Corporation.

The only company in the world that can bring you immortality.

Because immortality is just a matter of time.

It's time to make babies, huh?

I saw it on your fertility app.

[sniffles]

[sink water runs, stops]

[glass clatters]

Would you have kids with me?

Yes.

And it won't be like before, huh?

You're not marrying him. You know that, right?

He doesn't even let me breathe, dude.

I jumped through hoops to get here.

He's also obsessed with Javi's SUV.

Now he happens to be into cars.

[scoffs] For heaven's sake.

He should buy one for himself.

- If we get lucky, he'll crash and die. - [laughs]

- [Rosa groans] - [kisses]

- [Ester] Not even an online draft? - [woman] We haven't found anything.

Nothing in the Treasury under any of their names that day?

Hold on a second.

Yes. I'll hold.

[Eduard] No one heard from Pedro on the 2nd.

Not friends, or neighbors, or family.

He didn't respond in work group chats when he was active the day before.

He wasn't seen at the repair shop either.

He sent them a text saying he would stop by to pay,

showed up when the shop was closed, and left the money in the mailbox.

He'd never done that before.

He liked to drop in and chat with the owner because they were friends.

- That's why he had credit there. - Ms. Varona?

Yes?

There's no information on either party from that day.

There's no data for that day.

- All right. - We'll keep you posted.

Thanks.

I just don't get why she told you about doing taxes if it's not a useful alibi.

She never really thought we'd get this far.

And now that we've done so, she had to ask for some help.

[Eduard] Her parents.

They lied.

[Ester] Call them in. I want another statement.

[Juan] Again with the same thing?

[Ester] I need to confirm your statement since new information has come to light.

You said you saw Pedro on the 2nd.

I already told you. I saw him and waved to him.

- Can you confirm this? - [Juan] Of course she can.

Excuse me. I actually asked her.

Um... Mmm, yes, you see, it was on, I think it was on the 2nd.

[breathes nervously]

Please, excuse me,

but I think I'm... I'm a bit... I'm a bit confused with the dates.

It's very important to be precise.

Why is that?

[tense music playing]

No other person claims to have seen him on that day.

From the previous days, we have plenty of evidence

that Pedro was still alive.

Phone calls, video calls,

chats, photographs,

neighbors who said they actually saw him.

You both told me that you were on a hike with him,

with Rosa and your granddaughter.

From the early hours of the 2nd, there's nothing.

And what am I to do? You want me to lie so it all fits?

No.

I don't want you to lie.

I don't think that wouldn't benefit anybody.

We are not lying!
