Can I ask why you're here?

He wrote to me.

I, uh... wanted to ask him about it.

What happened to his face?

Poor Rafael.

- Who phoned him? - Your brother.

Simon has problems.

Ignacio and his wife raised him as their own.

He loved them.

- I don't even know what I've done! - Do you know Rafael Baena?

I just flew in from New York

and was supposed to meet Rafael Baena,

but instead I am talking with a homicide cop.

I'm taking you off this.

- Why? - It's for the best.

DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING

Left-handed cut. Left-handed cut.

Not a trace of forensics on the body,

but I liked Guillermo Molina for it.

- You're left-handed. - That a crime now is it?

The bodies are connected.

Rafael Baena and Virgilio Guzman were silenced by the same killer.

Who are you protecting? Someone's pulling your strings, who is it?

I'm suspending you with immediate effect.

I've hurt my sister, I've taken everything from her.

Manuela is grieving and so are you.

Manuela.

They both loved you more than me.

No, they didn't. Yes, they did.

Rafa worshipped you.

And as for Francisco, apple of his eye.

You were nothing to do with him, you were a stain on his pride.

Once you were born, I didn't stand a chance.

Did someone hit you? - Yes.

- Does it hurt? - Yes.

Good!

- Manuela, we have to talk. - Do we?

Yes, this can't go on between us, this...

I miss you.

Manuela.

I used to think Ines was neurotic, when she said you had no heart.

But she was right.

Even now, after everything you've done...

..it's all about you.

I told the truth, someone had to.

You did what you wanted,

you did what you wanted without caring about anyone else,

like you always do.

No heart, ice in your veins like your murdering brother.

He has nothing to do with me!

You share the same blood, two brothers,

one a psychopath, one a policeman.

When's a policeman going to show his true nature?

Manuela, you can't!

You don't come near me.

You don't come here, you've no right.

- I loved Rafa. - It's your fault he's dead!

- No. - It's your fault!

It's not my...

Bad blood.

Blood will out, it always does.

Do help yourself, detective.

I know you weren't invited, I saw the guest list.

Yeah, don't really know what I'm doing here.

Calderon asked for me.

Getting pulled back in?

Well, I never wanted to be out of it.

I should tread carefully with the Judge,

he's the most ambitious man I've ever met.

Well, if his ambitions match with mine,

then I'm happy to live with that.

Yes, but he's not the one getting hurt, is he?

Javier.

Take care of yourself.

My first aid skills only go so far.

Lobo's got his own political agenda here,

there's a lot of powerful people got him his position,

and they all have a vested interest in Baena Construction.

But I don't like it

when people think they're beyond my jurisdiction, pisses me off.

So, Javier, enlighten me.

If Baena and Guzman were silenced, what were they going to talk about?

A coup in Chile, September 11, 1973, it's the same killer.

I think it's Guillermo Molina...

..and he's not working alone.

Not a shred of forensic evidence on either body.

You're talking about serious conspiracy here, corruption.

You'd better be right about this. - I'm certain of it.

Hard evidence is there.

A memory stick with a deleted file, I didn't find it in time.

And there's... something else, I can't put my finger on it,

not yet.

OK, I trust your instinct.

You and Ramirez continue the investigation,

sub rosa, under the radar.

Find the hard evidence and bring it to me and no-one else.

Whatever you find you bring it straight to me,

I'll do the rest, all right?

Jose Luis, can you give us a moment?

Yep.

That looks painful.

But there's nothing I can do about the suspension

or the disciplinary charge.

But for what it's worth, you've got my support.

I appreciate it.

Did you get into Baena's panic room?

No, we couldn't get through the door.

There's a biometric system,

iris recognition, needs the manufacturer.

I've sent an order for one of their engineers.

And what about Simon Ortega?

He was charged with possession and released,

didn't have reason to keep him.

Baena committed suicide, there's no case.

I want him brought back in.

What can Simon Ortega possibly tell us about any of this?

He's a smackhead! What's he gonna know about Rafael Baena?

It's not what he knows about Rafael Baena,

it's what Rafael Baena knew about him.

He left him money, Jose Luis. Why?

What did he feel guilty about, what did he know?

Simon Ortega, is there something else?

Thank you for coming.

You're welcome.

What happened to you?

I walked into a door.

What can I do for you?

I saw the press conference, I didn't believe a word.

I think Rafael Baena's death is suspicious and so do you.

It doesn't matter what I think, it's not my investigation.

Doesn't seem to be anybody's investigation.

I'm a risk analyst,

we have a significant investment in Baena Construction.

If Rafael Baena's death is attributable to his cancer,

we'll cope.

If it's suicide, we'll wobble.

But if it's murder, then that's risk and I have to know.

What are you expecting me to tell you?

Whether I'm right

in my thinking this whole thing stinks of a cover-up.

Then why don't you act on your instincts, why come to me?

What do you want? I want to do my job.

You're in big trouble.

You missed something, Guillermo,

Guzman emailed a file to Baena, he hid it in his panic room.

By morning we'll have it.

Two murders, conspiracy, what do you reckon you're gonna get?

20, 30 years?

You don't have to tell us, we'll know soon enough.

But then you will have lost the chance to cut yourself a deal.

- Clock's ticking, Guillermo. - We know it's about Chile.

Pinochet one of your heroes?

Oh, is that the best you've got?

Do you know who Madeleine Flowers is?

- A fucking yank bitch. - She's agency, Guillermo.

The coup in Chile was financed by the CIA,

that's who she works for!

You think you've got it all worked out now don't you?

You think this is about ancient history,

from some country that's a million miles away?

No, it's closer to home than you think.

They kept each other's secrets

until Baena started dying and stopped giving a shit.

Kept whose secrets?

Baena gave Pablo and Simon Ortega money,

Ignacio raised Simon and brought him up as his own.

That's it, you're starting to get closer.

Ignacio Ortega, what's his secret?

Tell me something, Falcon.

What's it like finding out you're some Arab's bastard?

To stop him.

He used it to protect himself.

I stay silent, so he would stay silent about me.

He fucks children, Virgilio.

His name was Miguel Acebo and he was one of Pinochet's torturers.

Miguel Acebo was killed in Chile.

History is not written according to your whim and convenience.

Ignacio Ortega will be tried,

No, that's already been destroyed.

Judge Calderon understands the bigger picture.

He's given me the memory stick.

Ignacio Ortega won't be going anywhere near a courtroom.

You know what he is? - Yes, I do.

And to protect your actions in South America,

you're letting him continue to abuse children.

Well, he isn't a risk.

Tell his victims that.

Um, don't think about taking this any further, that wouldn't be wise.
