THE FOLLOWING IS A FICTIONAL SERIES
BASED ON REAL EVENTS

(9 YEARS AFTER THE CRIME)

The law of the Lord is perfection

It comforts the soul

The First Epistle
to the Corinthians tells us...

"Everyone's work shall be made manifest

for the day shall declare it

because it shall be revealed by fire.

And the fire will test the quality
of each one's work.

If anyone's work
which he has built on his remains,

they shall be rewarded."

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

WOMAN FOUND DEAD AT COUNTRY CLUB IN PILAR

MARÍA MARTA
THE COUNTRY CLUB CRIME

(MONTHS AFTER THE CRIME)

And that's the keychain.
So, the box should be somewhere here.

It's like a... like a chest.
A little chest.

A little chest? I know
I saw one at some point. I saw one.

Hold on.

The crap we hang on to.

- Leave it. It's okay. It doesn't matter.
- No.

It does matter.

I'm sorry, Carlos,
but there were checks stored in there.

That's why we reported it.

And why we're bothering you
with this. I'm sorry.

I'll take the key to the DA's office.

If the box isn't there,
it means it was stolen.

Someone stole it.

We can't use this!

We have more than 50 statements already

that affirm they had
a very happy marriage,

that there were no financial problems
and that they seemed like soul mates.

We need to find a motive.

Otherwise, the accusations
against Carrascosa and the family

aren't going to stand.

Look.

Look.

I found this article on the Internet.

I don't know if it'll be of any use,
but it caught my attention.

María Marta walks in
and comes across the intruders.

They kill her and they take
a whole lot of cash, a big sum,

dirty money, undeclared,
that Carrascosa and family can't justify.

María Marta was already dead.
There was no changing the fact.

But... bringing attention to the situation
would endanger them all.

Marcos, at least,
let's stop and consider it.

No.

They admit that they may have blundered.
What's your opinion on the matter?

To be honest, one blunder
would be acceptable.

But several? Well, that's alarming.

We have a falsified death certificate,

then there's intent to conceal
information from the authorities,

there's the cleaning of the crime scene
and we happen to have a key witness

who can confirm
that Carrascosa had two requests:

to have the victim buried
as soon as possible

and to forgo an autopsy.

The family is accusing you
of not following other lines of inquiry.

What can you tell us about that?

I considered every hypothesis,

but common sense leads us
to strongly pursue the familial link.

Well, that's what I've done so far.

I was thinking about adding

the three leads
that Del Río was following.

Centeno, the family and the death threats

that María Marta had received
for her work over at Missing Child.

Yeah, and we should consider

why he chose to discard the other
two leads and focus so much on the family.

In my opinion, the testimony Collins gave

inspired the guy to fixate
on that particular hypothesis.

Look, I'll read what it says here,
what Collins testified.

"I'm sure they didn't let me inspect her
because they were hiding something.

When I arrived,
one of the doctors who treated her

told me that it was an accident,
but to me, things didn't quite add up.

I entered the house and I saw Carlos."

(DAY OF THE CRIME)

Good evening.

- Good evening.
- Carlos?

- Yes, good evening.
- I'm a friend of the family.

Over here.

Carlos.

I'm so sorry.

I don't even know what to say
about this absurd accident.

I don't know how it happened.

Do you want me to inspect her?

Okay, come on.

Dr. Collins, Saúl Vanoli.

- Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

Carlos, wait, the doctors said
that we can't touch anything

until the people
from the funeral home get here.

There are too many people
up there, Carlos.

- Carlos.
- Yes?

Yes.

I'll need your marriage certificate
for the funeral home people, all right?

Okay, come on. I think it's over here...

Gustavo Collins
was a very good friend of my Uncle Carlos,

my mother's brother.

They were both doctors, you know?

Why do you think the guy
ended up getting so upset with you?

Well, when they found out
what happened, or rather,

when everything started
to be out in the open

and it was reported
María Marta had been killed,

it seems like he found out.

Well, I never wanted
to give him the full story,

because he was having some health issues.

And then he asked me, "How is it possible

that a medical legend like Gustavo Collins
never went to check on María Marta?"

I attempted to explain things to my uncle.

He stopped speaking to me.

Your uncle sounds really swell...

No, I'll tell you what I believe happened.

My uncle, you see,
was very good friends with Roganti.

I'm pretty much convinced
that he was the one who told him.

He took the gossip
and transformed it into breaking news...

- Of course.
- And why?

So he could continue making money
off of my family and especially off of me.

- Yes.
- And it worked.

And it worked in the DA's favor

because he had no motive
to support the accusations.

Do you remember how you found out about
María Marta García Belsunce's accident?

Yeah. I remember that Mr. Carrascosa
was speaking for a good while with Cruz.

And when they finished talking,
Cruz walked up to me,

and he told me that Mister Carrascosa
asked him for an ambulance

because his wife
had just suffered an accident.

According to the neighbors, the security
guards staked out and robbed the houses.

Do you know anything about that?

Yeah, in addition to...
to the complaints...

some of us knew that Cruz
entered and robbed the houses.

He wasn't in a gang or anything organized,
but you know, he would always...

always act in a way that was sort of...
sort of arrogant.

He was like a gangster,

like a troublemaker guy
and all that kind of crap.

But I know that... that yeah,
that he would sometimes go with Rivera.

But anyway, he was
the one who broke into the houses.

Anything else?

No.

- Thanks very much. I'll walk you out.
- No, thank you.

What'd you think of him?

I don't know.

He distanced himself from Cruz,
and he contradicted him quite a bit.

It's impossible that he could have
overheard or even seen

the supposed chat
between Carrascosa and Cruz.

I don't know...

Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning. Excuse me.

I need to know precisely what the status
of the investigation on this case is.

No lies.

No, no, no. I don't want to read anything.
Explain it to me.

We're following a lead
that's quite promising,

which connects Carrascosa

with a financial third party
connected with drug trafficking.

But at the same time, there are
contradictions from the security guards.

No! No!

Don't waste your time with that!

Can you imagine the scandal we'd face

if, after all this,
Carrascosa isn't the killer?

You need to just stick to the family.

There is no more room for error!

And be grateful that you're still here,

because I've been cleaning up
your crap since the beginning.

From now on, I need you
to be agreeable with the press.

Otherwise, they're going
to question your skills

and they'll eat you up alive.

Do you feel all right, Bergés?

I'll feel better the day
we can finally close this case.

I was able to talk to the housekeeper
for the Centeno family,

and she told me that my dog had been
at that gentleman's house

during the time
that we were searching for him.

And because of that,
I filed a report with the police,

because we started to receive phone calls
at home asking for ransom money

for our dog.

So, what are you saying?

Well, you're the one
who has to... to find the answers.

Mrs. Brown asked Carrascosa for advice

on how to invest her savings.

She could have very easily made a random,
passing comment to her sister Lara,

who may have then gone straight
to her boss with the information.

Álvaro Salvio, accountant
and figurehead of the Juárez Cartel.

The guy was pilfering money,
and the Cartel realized.

Seeing as they couldn't get to him
directly,

they took it out on his partner.

You're saying that some hitmen
entered Querandíes Country Club

to kill Carrascosa's wife

in order to get back at Salvio?

I don't see that happening.

During the economic crisis,

they made numerous transfers
to a bank in New York

via the aforementioned intermediaries.

Obviously, they were handling
money for drug lords.

Carrascosa, Bártoli,
Vanoli and Miguel Brown

all worked
for different finance companies

which would allow them
to manage that drug money.

While reviewing María Marta's agenda,

we came across a recurring
phone number labeled "Bug."

Who's that? Víctor Fernández Risso.

The man who was in charge
of Stock Market Express.

On December 28th, 2001,
in the middle of the economic crisis

he made a transfer

to Ontario International Bank,

thanks to a note
that he took to María Marta.

Exactly seven days after the crime,
Carrascosa communicated with Bug.

But how exactly do the hitmen
figure into all of this?

How exactly do we link
the accountant for the drug cartel,

the boss of María Marta's friend's sister,

with those stockbrokers?

I'm honestly not seeing the link.

You say that, in this roundabout way,
this chain reaction made them kill her?

Mariana...

The essence is simple.

María Marta was forced to launder money
through "Missing Child."

For Carrascosa,
a family member or a friend.

And that's why it ended the way it did.

And so, based on these phone calls,
we were able to establish

that Carlos Carrascosa
was managing money for drug traffickers.

In particular, the Juárez cartel.

The Juárez cartel hypothesis

was so forced,
that even Del Río discarded it.

As many as 250 pages were written

in a feeble attempt to explain
this supposed connection,

but there was no evidence to support it.

- That's pretty good.
- You see?

- It's coming out really well.
- Yes.

What we want to show on the blog are
these kinds of moments where Del Río

and his arguments end up falling flat.

- Yeah.
- So, the people can see

what kind of person
was in charge of the case.

That's great.

The blue track pants,

which she had been wearing all day long,

the very same ones
that María Marta was buried in,

caught our attention.

Because we realized that her tennis shoes

and her T-shirt were both wet,
but not her track pants.

Caught whose attention?
After all, he was there.

And he never said anything
about her clothing, not even a word!

- We'll add that one to the blog.
- Please do!

Mr. Matías Centeno,

do you solemnly swear

to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth

when answering the questions
that'll be asked during this hearing?

Yes, I swear.

They called Centeno
to testify as a witness.

That avoided, of course,

that they could investigate him
as a possible murderer.

He was definitely a slick one.

According to him, the new prosecutors

walked all over his argument, and that,
of course, earned him many enemies.

In fact, he's in a pigpen, tending
to cases that no one wants to take on.

He's doing penance.

Apparently, he ended up
giving in to his religious side.

One month and 17 days
after Carrascosa's trial,

prosecutor Del Río was removed
from the García Belsunce case.

Carrascosa was convicted of a cover-up,

but not as the perpetrator of the crime.

Both the defense and the prosecution
appealed the ruling.

Would you look at Carlos?

Sometimes, I feel like it upsets him
to listen to all of this again.

Definitely.

To see himself there...

MARÍA MARTA'S CRIME:
THE CASE HAS NEW PROSECUTORS

GARCÍA BELSUNCE CASE:
THE DA DEMANDS NEW REPORTS FROM EXPERTS

(15 YEARS AFTER THE CRIME)

All right...

We're set. The judges
have ordered a new expert review.

This means
that they're endorsing our investigation.

Leave it there. Thank you.

These are all of the files

for the Belsunce case
from 2003 to the current date.

FOR SALE

Stop there. Please.

Then what did you do?

Well, I came downstairs,

and when I saw that the bathroom door
was open, I went in.

Continue.

Carrascosa? Come over here for me.

Have you changed the pipes
or the water pressure

in the past few years?

No, I haven't changed anything at all.

According to our experts,

if the water was flowing from the moment

that Carrascosa claims to have arrived,

the whole house
would have been completely flooded

and the stairs
would have looked like little waterfalls.

Would you like to discuss
your client's questionable timeline?

Gentlemen, refrain from speaking
unless one of us tells you to speak.

Canale, one of the coroners
who did the autopsy,

says that the fractures
to María Marta's ribs

didn't happen while she was alive,
but rather that they were the result

of the resuscitation attempts.

Those ribs didn't show any blood.

And so, this indicates that the murder

occurred at least one hour earlier
than what he said the first time around.

At the very latest, at 6:30 p.m.

Well, then these findings indicate

that Carrascosa was never
actually at the scene of the crime.

Either he was at the Club House
or he was at Bártoli's,

but he was never at the crime scene.

We're going to have to speak with Tapia

because it's true what he said
about the blood splatters on the ceiling.

The person who shot María Marta
must've been crouched down.

And the gunshot
was from the bottom aiming up.

They were hiding,
a thief would hide.

Hello?

Yes! Send her in.

Come on in!

How are you? Excuse me.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I'm Juana Gómez Andrada. How are you?

- DA Zuviría.
- Nice to meet you.

- DA Quiroga, it's a pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.

We were expecting your partner too.

Yeah, she wasn't feeling well, but if it's
all right, we can go ahead and start.

Okay. Would you like a drink?

- Water.
- All right.

Basically, we wanted to meet with you two
because we were researching your blog.

There seems to be
some very important information

and you could really help us out.

- I didn't even ask you to sit down!
- No.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Let's see...

(12 YEARS AFTER THE CRIME)

And this is how it's going. Look at that!

That's what I call a framework.

Hey, pretty girl! How you doing?

- Good. Not too long to go.
- Come here.

Say a few words.

Well, I'm really happy

and really excited
to be watching our dreams come true.

- No, wait. Hold on.
- What?

- Wait. The battery's running out.
- No...

All right, ma'am. How are you feeling?

Wonderful.

- What great railing, right?
- Amazing railing!

Watch.

Wait, you're going to be the first one
to ever walk down that staircase.

Please.

What a lovely staircase,
made of gorgeous wood...

- Watch out for the curves!
- It's sturdy...

Comfortable...

What a wonderful design...

Tell me, what are you thinking?

I love you!

I'm not going to make any statements.

Incredible...

Right.

We have to move.

I don't know.

This house was our dream home.

We built it with your father.

I think it would do you good to move, Mom.

When all of this is over, we'll see.

I want to move.

All right.

You're an adult now.
You can do what you want to.

Lying and covering up
are not the same.

It's also not the same to lie
as it is to tell a lie.

If I lie,

I'm making the choice to deceive,

with the ultimate goal
of concealing the truth.

That is to say,
I'm looking for a specific result,

whose vileness depends on what I want
to falsify or misrepresent.

If it's about homicide, as well
as vicious conduct, it's a crime.

On the other hand, telling lies

is to repeat something false which has
already been said and is taken as truth.

- I tried to get you there.
- But you didn't.

Authorizations to leave for the day
are a very slow process.

Guillermo died
with this case hanging over him.

We should all be acquitted already
and not be dying condemned by the system.

We're going to overturn it, Carlos.

They used us to cover up something else.

Do you know what it was like to see
the autopsy on every single channel?

And now...

Guillermo's funeral!
And nobody will accept the blame!

Yes, I know.

But they will be held responsible.
One step at a time.

With this Appelate Court ruling,
I can insist

and ask for a trial
against Prosecutor Del Río.

(13 YEARS AFTER THE CRIME)

- Hello, Mariana! How are you?
- Marcos!

- Good, good.
- Can we grab coffee?

- It's important.
- I'm running late.

I heard that they're considering
overturning Carrascosa's Appelate ruling.

It's logical that they take
the Supreme Court into consideration.

Could you speak with one of the judges

to ask about my situation?

But I can't do that, Marcos!

You know that if the court absolves
Carrascosa, they'll come after me.

Yes, it's probable, but...

How about, how about we meet
some other day? Okay?

"When Mr. Mirosevic
began to represent Mr. Bártoli,

he realized that the prosecutor
had only taken statements

from two security guards from Querandíes,
when he actually should have done so

with all of them, given the notable flaws
in the security of the place."

Were you assigned to watch over Centeno
on the day of the crime?

Well, that day I was there
because my co-worker was absent.

I had been assigned
the watch over Romeo and Juliet.

- Let's see...
- We called Centeno and his wife like that.

- It's this one. Right here.
- Okay.

And who was the guard
who was absent that day?

Before the Country Club,
I worked in a factory,

where I suffered an accident that caused
many problems with my sight.

And now I suffer
from advanced degenerative myopia.

All right. Can you read
what it says right here?

No.

And here?

No.

And during the time
you worked at the Country Club,

you'd have been able to read that?

I doubt it.

You can review
my medical history if you like.

And how could you keep an eye
on Centeno under those circumstances?

Well, I couldn't, but I still had to work.

Was there anything out of the ordinary
with the security guards?

Something that you could point us to?

Well, there were plenty of rumors...

Be more specific for us, please.

Well, we all knew that some of the guys
didn't play by the rules.

- Explain that to us.
- Five finger discounts!

What?

They would steal.

Who would?

Cruz...

Rondón...

Sometimes,
they would bring in a third guy.

CENTENO DENIED GOING FOR A RUN

SEVERAL WITNESSES SAW HIM
JOGGING CLOSE TO MARÍA MARTA

With the new time of death assigned
to María Marta, what we do know

is that at 6:30 p.m., the only ones
who could have been there

were Rondón, Cruz, and Centeno, obviously.

- And Rosario Álvarez.
- Well, as for her, I don't know.

- We should discuss it, Juana.
- Well, let's discuss it then!

I honestly don't buy her story!

And I have absolutely no faith

in those those DNA tests
that they threw out. Not at all!

I don't trust anything.
The only thing I trust is you and me.

We are currently
in front of the DA's office in Pilar,

where Rosario Álvarez
has been testifying for nine hours

about the Belsunce case.

How was your relationship
with your husband?

Ex!

Difficult.

Toxic.

What can you tell us about your alleged
appearance at the scene of the crime?

- Mine?
- Yes.

The Lady in Pink.
Nice stigma they gave me.

Annoying. Although, quite creative, right?

With my newborn baby!

All the problems at home
and with my marriage.

You think I would leave
my kids alone? And for what?

To go and murder my neighbor?

No!

That day I left the Country Club early.

We were at the Diego Torres concert
with a friend of mine, and...

we got back after midnight.

And getting back to your husband...

My ex.

Could you tell us
a little bit about his personality?

Matías is...

complicated.

He was the love of my life.

And also...

the person who hurt me the most.

He exercised
violence psychologically and...

economically against me.

He suffers from every vice.

But he isn't a murderer.

Centeno had put the house up for sale,

because he knew they wanted
to kick him out.

Well, he sure moved out
pretty quickly after the crime, right?

- How long did it take him?
- Here it is. Look. Wait.

These are the files that Tapia lent us.

He took a statement
from the new owners of Centeno's house.

The guy tested the plumbing, but something
wasn't right, so he called a plumber.

The plumber discovered
that they were covered with cement,

and he had to do a new installation.

Centeno got rid of the gun at his house.

That guy didn't even have
to leave the crime scene.

He hid in his house
and discarded the gun there.

- The gun is in the septic tank!
- The gun is in the septic tank!

- Could it be there?
- Yes.

In ten minutes, this circus will be over
and I'll head back to the office.

Let's check in there.

- Wait.
- There's nothing. We're done.

Are we about ready to wrap up the search?

- Yes!
- Can't we keep looking?

- No, there's nothing. We're done.
- It doesn't make any sense.

They didn't find the gun.

So, now what?

This doesn't mean anything.

They are going to find evidence
to convict him.

Sir.

It's been a pleasure.

- Can't they continue later?
- They say they didn't find it...

They didn't find it there.

You two were so little.

It's okay, Mom.

It's okay.

We were happy in this house, right?

It's okay.

Hello?

Yes?

Yes, that's me.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to notify my attorney.

Yes.

All right. Bye.

Meanwhile, one of the judges
who supported Carrascosa's acquittal

came forward to strongly criticize
the actions of the justice system,

and in particular, Prosecutor Del Río,

who apparently
committed serious irregularities

throughout the entire process.

To quote, he said that when he finished
reading the notes on the case,

he felt embarrassment, indignation,
and surprise upon seeing the conviction.

CARLOS CARRASCOSA ACQUITTED

Congratulations!

- My goodness!
- Thank you so much. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I mean it. Thank you.

- Please. It was my pleasure.
- Excuse me, sir.

- Thank you!
- It was my pleasure.

Let's see. Thank you.

But they can still appeal, right?
The acquittal?

Yes, but it's just a formal complaint.

This was dictated by the Appelate Court.
It can't be revoked.

- You sure?
- Don't you worry.

Good, Díaz Cantón!

- All right, goodbye. Thank you.
- I'll walk you out.

- Bye. Ready?
- Yes.

I'll go with you.

This is great!

Yes!

There are more
and more reporters out front.

Well, at some point, I'm going
to have to face them, right?

- No, I wouldn't.
- Yes!

Do you want me to answer
a few questions for you, so they can go?

All right, sure.

You two were the ones who saved my life.
You watered me like a plant.

- All right. I'll go and handle them.
- Yes.

- Clear and concise, right?
- Yeah. That sounds perfect. Yes.

Is something wrong, Carlos?

I'm looking for my blood pressure pills.

I think I left them in the bedroom.

Okay. I'll go get them.

- Please. Thank you.
- Sure.

Believe it or not,
I'm taking care of myself.

REFLECTIONS ON THE TRUTH

APRIL 13TH, 2017

I'm telling you, the ideal situation
would be to unify that case with our case.

All of this guy's cases with ours.

It's always
the same modus operandi, except that...

when it came to our case,

María Marta arrived earlier than expected

and that threw a wrench in their plans.

Yeah, but in this case,
he wasn't a neighbor at the Country Club.

Instead, the guy entered with a fake ID.

NO ANIMALS WERE MISTREATED OR HARMED
DURING THE FILMING OF THIS SERIES
