[Millán sighs]
[Cardona] Ernesto Cardona.
Brazilian Federal Police.
I work in the General Directorate
combating organized crime.
Ernesto, please tell us
why you entered Spain on a fake passport.
[distant door crashes shut]
I didn't want my name on record.
So why didn't you notify
the Spanish police?
Hmm?
Because I knew any information
could get back to Santo.
So tell us, was Santo at the warehouse
where we found you?
I didn't see him if he was.
You didn't see him.
Six months ago, the Federal Police
had you down as a missing person.
You and the Portuguese national
Bárbara Azevedo de Melo.
Did you travel to Spain together?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
Do you know where Bárbara is?
When's the last time you saw her?
- I don't know.
- You don't know.
You remember when you were both captured?
You don't?
Or how it happened? Or how they took you?
Or how many there were?
You don't have any details for us
on this, Ernesto?
[Susi] A face? An accent?
The make of a car?
Anything could help us.
[Millán sighs]
You have to find Bárbara.
And we will find her. If you help us.
We can get you a special visa
so you can stay in Spain
and cooperate with us.
You know these people?
Have you ever seen them?
They're Norwegian.
[distant doors crashing shut]
[sighs]
[Susi] What do the cuts
on your eyelids mean?
Your eyes, Ernesto.
Your eyes.
Could you close your eyes
and show me, please?
Please let me see.
[camera clicks]
[Millán] Did they do that to you?
Did they cut your eyelids, Ernesto?
Do you have any idea that we are the ones
responsible for saving your life here?
- I do want to help.
- You want to help? Tell us everything.
What is this?
Or did you forget?
Adandozan.
African king from ancient Dahomey.
Why's it painted in blood?
[Cardano] Xwetanu.
A celebration that used to take place
300 years ago.
The king chose victims to sacrifice.
Slaves, animals, women
children.
He decapitated all of them.
And people drank the blood of the victims.
But why?
For victory.
And the Lord of Armies
turned to the prophet and he said,
- "Return to me"
- [child yells]
"and I shall return to you."
"For there is not
a just man upon this Earth
that doeth good and sinneth not."
So says Ecclesiastes.
Not one man!
And so, he who does not acknowledge
his sins is fooling himself.
And by fooling himself,
he fools all of us!
Many of you might be wondering,
"What are my sins, then?"
"I've never harmed anyone."
"No one could ever say that I've lied."
"That I've hurt them."
"That I've taken advantage of them."
"Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly."
Of the evil.
- Listen
- "Nor standeth in the way"
- We have found your son's remains.
- "of sinners, nor the scornful."
The man who does not lie,
who does not steal, who does not covet.
- He shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
- [man 1] He said something to her.
- [man 2] What did he say?
- [preacher] James 4:17.
- [crying]
- I don't know.
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good,
and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
[man] Hey.
- [dog barking]
- [doorbell rings]
[door opens]
[sighs]
- [door closes]
- [sighs]
Jesus. So it's true.
You came to break the news.
You have no shame!
- What's wrong?
- Who was it?
Take me to that asshole.
I want to see him!
What's that?
- [Millán] It was them.
- [sighs]
The same guys who shot at you.
[man] I know this guy.
The bastard came by.
at Christmastime, the day of the lottery.
- He was lookin' for work.
- He's working for someone else.
- For who?
- The guy who knocked off Ronaldo.
[sighs]
Ah, Chinche.
[Millán sighs]
The guys from Homicide are coming by
to ask you some questions.
- You afraid of me?
- What?
[gasps]
When am I allowed to, uh bury my boy?
[crying]
[Millán sighs]
I don't want to see you again, Miguel.
María, please.
[sniffles]
They're still looking at evidence.
You gotta find him.
[gasps]
You go find that horrible man,
and you kill the bastard.

[Cardano] To be at peace, Father.
Peace is what I ask of you, Father.
[mysterious music playing]
[Cardona's voice] Baba, give me strength.
Baba, give me balance.
Balance, strength, and peace, Father.
Father give me strength.
Father, give me peace.
[exhales]
[horns blaring]
[train clacking]
[Susi] It's the list of phone numbers
that called him.
We found that five of the account holders
have prior convictions.
Get a warrant to tap the phones.
[Susi] One's already been tapped.
I've requested the transcriptions.
Perfect.
There were more calls
from Millán's area than anywhere else.
And why's that not included in the report?
Well, it didn't seem relevant.
So, why are you bringing it up now?
Do you think we should
tap Millán's phone too?
No.

[suspenseful music playing]
[male officer] On February 16th,
the National Police and the Drugs Squad
seized six tons of cocaine
from a boat in the port of Málaga
that was flying under the Singapore flag
with a shipment of mangoes from Brazil.
The drugs came in slabs
labeled with a snake.
Santo's trademark.
That's all we have from him.
We need to get a photo of the guy.
The official version
is that Santo was a small-time trafficker
who escaped at gunpoint from Guarulhos
Detention Center north of São Paulo
five years ago.
According to that version, this is Santo.
Kaynan Melo, from Salvador de Bahía.
A trafficker who has learned
how to be a leader.
He hasn't been heard from since.
They say he had facial surgery and paid
to get details removed from all records.
The DEA can't find him either.
But are they sure that Santo left Brazil?
[male officer] This week,
witnesses claim to have seen him
in Rotterdam, Naples and Malta.
But we've had official confirmation
from police. He's in Madrid.
Have you received an extradition request
for Bárbara Azevedo?
Not as far as I know.
Who is Bárbara Azevedo?
Bárbara Azevedo de Melo.
Born in Portugal,
she moved to Madrid to study medicine.
In 2013, she traveled to Río
and never came back.
Her family tried to get her out, but she
was arrested for drug use and trafficking.
She supposedly lived with Santo
until last January,
before getting arrested again
in Salvador de Bahía.
Her fingerprints were in the warehouse
where we located Ernesto Cardona.
Where the remains of the child appeared.
Where they performed that kind of ritual.
Bárbara Azevedo was with them.
And did you check out
the security cameras at the airport?
We have the passport, so we can find out
the exact date and flight number.
He used that photo to get through customs.
But that man's been dead for a while.
- A year. You're aware.
- [Millán] I know. That's my point.
He has to look somewhat similar
to that passport photo.
Has anyone checked the footage?
Yes. He used that passport
to rent a car at the airport.
This is the guy who signed the papers.
Got this footage of him.
- Do we have an angle where we can see him?
- [Susi] No.
I have the footage from the hall
and the shopping area.
Nothing. He probably knew
where the cameras were.
[taps key]
[female officer] Is that Santo?
[Cardona] I don't remember a thing, Paulo.
It's like it was all erased
from my memory.
I can't remember
the last time I saw Bárbara.
I just can't.
You just need a little bit more time.
My flight's booked for Monday.
I'm leaving.
Guess they're pretty worried
about me dying here.
So why am I being kept alive?
Somehow he found the place
we were at in Madrid.
- What are you saying?
- What about where I stayed with Bárbara?
- Who was that guy?
- He didn't say anything. Don't worry.
They're fucking up my whole life.
[Paulo sighs]
[sighs] All right, I'm sorry.
We'll talk when I get there.
Take care of yourself.
And get some sleep, man.
For once in your life.
Mm-hmm.

SALVADOR
- [children squealing]
- [dog barking]
[singing continues]
Give me five minutes.
[singing continues]
Hey, baby!
I'm glad you came.
They're gonna give her the plaque.
- Can we talk somewhere?
- Tell me later. In a minute.
[drumming and percussion]

What's your name?
Caetano.
What's your name?
[chuckles]
Aren't you a little old
to be selling weed?
[grunts]
They're gonna kill you, you know?
We all have to die sometime.

[Cardano] Celso?
You got the wrong house.
[dog barking]
All right, come in.
I could make some rice, if you like.
Hang on, I know. Do you like cheese?
- [Bárbara] Mm-hmm.
- [Cardano] Sure.
[Celso] Ah, I've got some cheese here.
- Here you go.
- [Bárbara] Thank you.
[Celso] I don't have any bread, though.
We don't know how long we'll be staying.
You can stay as long as you need.
- [opens bottle]
- Don't worry.
- [opens bottle]
- This week, we gotta be very quiet.
- Nobody can know.
- [Celso] Look.
Tell me nothing here.
[sighs] Got that?
[opens bottle]
[thunder rumbling]
[Cardano sighs]
Thank you.
[Cardano] May my enemies have feet,
yet not reach me.
May they have arms, yet not touch me.
May they have eyes, yet not see me.
May they not have so much as a thought
that could harm me, Father.
Give me strength, Father.
Give me strength.
Bullets shall not reach my body.
Let ropes and chains snap
without tying my body down.
Give me strength, Father.
Let spears break without touching me.
Let ropes and chains snap
without tying my body down.
Thank you, Father.
So, tell me, where are we going next?
[Cardano sighs]
I'm sorry about what happened to Vera.
It wasn't your fault.
You can't betray Santo.
Because to him, we're family.
His children. [chuckles]
Sometimes siblings or lovers.
That's why he wanted to murder you?
You don't understand.
He's the only reason
that I'm breathing right now.
Santo took all of us off the streets.
You've never seen his face?
Not even once?
I don't need to.
Because I feel Santo.
Inside of me.

It's practically new. I sent the notes
for translation, but nothing.
There's a number with the prefix 47,
which is for Norway.
It belongs to an auto repair shop.
There's an ad online.
That's where I found a picture of them.
The shop belongs
to the older brother, Gunnar.
The one in jail?
[Millán] The other brother's
out on parole. But he came to Spain.
That's him. His name is Olin Hansen.
He's tried his hand at everything.
Robbery, kidnapping, extortion.
Little bit of everything.
So he murdered Cristóbal Nilo and Ronaldo.
We don't know that yet.
- But he works for Santo.
- Mm.
I won't be able to keep this quiet.
I'm not asking you to.
- [phone vibrates]
- You're gonna follow up on your own?
If that notebook contains evidence,
it'll get thrown out, Millán.
- What have you got?
- The second bike's been found.
FORENSICS
No.
The thread's gone.
[Alberto] There's gotta be a way
to get it open.
- Yeah?
- Oh, yeah.
[chuckles]
- [phone ringing]
- Sorry.
- I thought it was on silent.
- Answer it.
Give me a second. Hi, Miguel?
[Millán] Arantxa. What'd you find?
Documents? Anything personal?
We haven't found anything yet.
We just started.
- Who are you with? Are you alone?
- It's Alberto and me. Why?
I'll come over.
We need to talk. I have a clue.
- Miguel, can it not wait?
- Where'd you find the bike?
Who found it? Huh?
Uh, the bike was, uh
It was parked on a road.
- On the sidewalk?
- Yes.
- Where? Do you have the report?
- Uh
- Do you have the report?
- Well, yeah, but
[multiple alarms blaring]
[blinds squeaking]
Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna have
someone come and clean up a bit in here.
Dad, it's perfect.
[sighs] Don't lie.
It's a fucking mess here.
Was this your room when you were young?
How's Mom? Did you call her?
I think we should
give her some space for a few days.
- [siren wailing]
- Bullet casings, clothes, food,
prints, traces of coke, blood everywhere.
I don't know. There's still a lot to do.
There's gotta be
something that can help us.
Ask Homicide.
Fuck Homicide. We found that warehouse
through one of our contacts.
They murdered a child!
They chopped up that poor kid.
They took out all his intestines
and they cooked them.
Why?
[sigh]
You called Alberto's girlfriend?
How is she?
The bomb completely ripped him in half.
- It could have happened to me.
- Mm.
- [siren bleeps]
- [sighs]
Look after Lucía, please.
Two, three weeks. I I don't know.
Don't worry about it.
You know
She loves you. She worships you.
And I don't know why.
What clue do you have?
[Millán] When you can,
check this man's details
to see if he's in any way
connected to what you have.
He's the guy who rented the bikes.
And he might have killed Cristóbal Nilo
or ordered Ronaldo's murder.
Norwegian.
He's on Santo's payroll.
I think him, the other guy on the bike
and some others.
This was found in the warehouse.
- A key card from a local hotel.
- Mm-hmm.
The company says they can only identify
the hotel from the serial number.
But they can't tell us the room numbers
or the dates.
According to Homicide.
Of course, they didn't know
that the guest might have been Norwegian.
Norwegian, yes. Please.
Going back two months.

Susi, it's me. I think I found them.
Yeah, the Norwegians. A hotel downtown.

Yeah. I need you to hurry up, though.
