Day 42

A NETFLIX SERIES
[light piano music plays]
[Ceci] Mario said what?
That it was us? Are you sure?
Well, it's more or less in line
with the statement that he gave.
And, um, he says that, um, he first heard
the voice of a woman
and then the voice of a man.
And as far as he could tell,
the voices sounded like,
uh, not to put too fine a point on it,
but the voices were yours
and your husband's.
[Pizarro scoffs] Come on, Toledo. Please.
Don't you see what he's doing?
[Toledo] It's my job to document
all valid statements, Pizarro.
- Why don't you try doing things better?
- Wh
Did you take his DNA
to compare to afterwards?
Well, did you? Did you or not?
Did you tap his telephone?
Is he being followed?
Medina goes in and out of his house
whenever he wants
and nobody's following him.
They're harassing my clients, pal,
and meanwhile he's laughing.
He's laughing to death.
[light piano music continues]
He's hiding something,
and you act as if you work for him.
How many more days are you gonna let him
go romping around unchecked?
[woman sings hauntingly]
MISSING
[Verónica laughs]
[Emi giggles]
[Verónica laughs]
[Ceci] And this is the very,
very center of the property.
- [Emi] Wow! It's really pretty.
- [Ceci] Well, what do you think?
[Kari] It's nice.
[Ceci] It is, isn't it?
- [Emi] I like it.
- [Kari] Which one's bigger?
[Ceci] That one.
Darn! [laughs]
That's ours. [laughs]
[Kari laughs]
[Ceci] Hey. Why the face?
No, I love it. I feel it's just
a bit sort of isolated, ya know?
Sort of closed in, that's all.
- Is that the sensation you get? Closed in?
- Just a skosh.
[all laugh]
Whenever you get a feeling like that,
you can come on out, and we'll chat.
[thunder rumbles]
23 DAYS
MISSING
5,000,000 AWARD
[knocking at door]
[reporter] invited the husband
of the unfortunate missing woman,
Verónica Montes
[woman 1] Why did they throw
the police out?
Isn't anybody looking for Vero?
- Here. Drink this.
- Nah.
What'd they say?
[sighs] Nobody knows anything.
I told you I'd let you know
if anything came up.
Why do you come here just like that, Mom?
Oh, so I should just sit and wait?
Do absolutely nothing
while the whole world ignores
that my daughter is missing
somewhere out there?
And that monster next door,
what's he saying?
I I remember our last night together.
I was just falling asleep
when she came into the bedroom.
[light piano music plays]
I remember that she, uh,
she lay in bed next to me and said,
"It's hard for us to even hug."
Kari, what's Daddy doing up on the TV?
I looked at her and said, "No, honey."
It's nothing, come on.
[Mario] I think something
was unsettling her.
Making her feel uneasy.
There must have been
something that worried her.
Right, first the day was normal,
and now something has been unsettling her?
[Braulio] Thanks, Granny.
- Huh?
- Okay, the guy's weird, that's obvious,
but that doesn't automatically mean
he did in his wife.
You do recall that he hasn't phoned her
since she went missing.
You don't think it's suspicious
that he threw the police
out of his house overnight?
Let me play devil's advocate here.
If I said that those guys stompin'
around in my home
were more concerned of accusing me
instead of finding my wife,
I'd throw their asses out of my house.
- No, come on, Braulio!
- Why not?
That's not what this is.
[Braulio] Why? Hey,
they were there for two weeks,
day and night, and they didn't find her.
What would you do?
I dunno.
Cooperate. Give some DNA, for example.
- Yeah, of course.
- Okay.
And what if they use that DNA sample
to accuse you of a crime?
- [Pizarro groans]
- You're a lawyer, for Christ's sake.
Imagine your client
in the same circumstances as this guy,
with the whole world
pointing their finger at him.
What would you tell him?
Would you recommend he take a DNA test?
Shit no.
[Margarita] Got it!
- Carlitos!
- [Carlitos] Yeah!
- [Braulio] Gimme a boiled egg. Thanks.
- [Carlitos] Sure. There.
HUSBAND
"THERE HAVE BEEN VERY SAD DAYS"
[Braulio] Thanks.
[mysterious music plays]
[Mario] Emi!
- We're back!
- It's been so long!
[Emi giggles]
How did it go?
- Fine.
- Yeah? Did you have fun?
Even though I was scared
to go on one of the rides.
Oh!
But Kari was even more afraid.
[Emi & Mario laugh]
You want a hand?
- [woman 2] Hello, Emi.
- There.
[woman 2] Aren't you just
the sweetest little thing?
- You have fun?
- I saw the interview.
- [Emi] Uh-huh.
- [woman 2] What's her name?
- [Emi] Cuncu. Uh-huh.
- [woman 2] Cuncu?
Uh, yeah.
This is Señora Judith.
She'll be helping us from now on.
- [Emi] Know how to make pancakes?
- [Judith] Pancakes, of course!
You want help?
It's okay.
You all right?
Mm-hmm. Fine.
[sirens blare]
[Ceci] He kicked them out a week ago,
and now he's calling them back?
What changed his mind?
He told the police he wanted protection
for his daughters.
Any news from the other investigations?
Yes, um,
the divers are coming to,
uh, search the lake for her body.
Hmm?
Sorry.
Don't worry about it, it's all right.
We're also putting together
the canine search
your brothers were asking for.
The psychic they hired
asked for the dogs too.
[Kari & Emi sing] I am a butterfly ♪
I'm a caterpillar ♪
I'm a caterpillar that moves like this ♪
[both sing] Bum, bum! ♪
Is it okay if I put a little
of Mom's perfume on?
[Kari] Sure.
But just a little bit,
we'll save some for her.
[perfume sprays]
Give me a little too.
[perfume sprays]
[sniffs] Mm.
Smells good.
Nice drawing.
[Emi] It's Mom.
[Kari] And why are you sad?
'Cause it's one of the last times
we were with her all together.
- And that's me, isn't it?
- Uh-huh.
What am I angry for?
[Emi] 'Cause both of you were really mad.
And you talked a long time that night.
And Mom took a long time to go to bed.
[sad piano music plays]
[Kari sighs softly]
[door opens]
- [Toledo] Ah, you must be the psychic.
- [psychic] Hello. Yes.
Yes, I am.
- Please, come in. This is the
- [psychic] Thank you.
the house.
The main bedroom is over there.
- Her office is upstairs where she worked.
- Uh-huh. Right.
- And I don't know where you'd like to
- May I go up?
- Yes, yes, of course.
- [psychic] Mind hanging on to my purse?
- [Toledo] Sure.
- [psychic] Thanks.
- Excuse me.
- [Toledo] Go ahead, please. Be my guest.
[music fades out]
[grunts]
- Cool, you've got a picture of me?
- Yep.
How old was I here?
There?
Uh
You were a baby. I dunno.
[sarcastic] Really?
I hadn't noticed.
[Pizarro] Hey
Remember the other day,
you said you wanted to go fishing, right?
Yeah, but you you're too busy with stuff.
Don't worry about it.
[Pizarro] No, let's do it.
Listen, give me some time
to organize some things I have coming up,
and we can pick a weekend.
- [Joaquín] Really? Sure!
- Yeah!
[host] Did you notice
anything at the house
or anything at all
that might help find this person?
You know, inside the house, there was a
very morbid sensation, actually.
- [host] Morbid?
- Mm-hmm.
- [host] In what way?
- [inhales sharply]
[psychic] At first,
I got a feeling of distress in my chest,
but the strongest feeling
was this freezing.
Frozen cold.
And humidity in that
[light music plays]
There was this intense sensation
as though Verónica
was struggling to breathe
and crying for help.
[cries, shouts]
[light music continues]
[horn honks]
[shouts, cries]
- [sniffs]
- [keys clattering]
[breathing deeply]
[gasps]
[Ceci] Mom!?
Mom! What are you doing?
They said
They said she's somewhere damp and
damp and dark and
- And cold.
- Relax. We'll find her.
- Just relax, please. Come inside.
- Vero's cold. He knows.
- Please, Mom.
- He must know where
We'll find her, don't worry.
- Please, come with me.
- It's just that
- Go on.
- She's cold.
- [Ceci] That's it. Come on.
- [woman 1] She's so cold. [cries]
[Ceci] Come on.
[light music continues]
[music fades out]
40 DAYS
Is it really true about this dog
that he never misses one?
Yes, sir.
Aucán solved cases
that are pretty complex,
pretty tough nuts
to crack here in the south.
[sighs]
Should we still wait for the husband, or?
- No, no. Let's just do this. Go on.
- Just us.
Do we know what area we'll cover later?
We'll go probably up the hill,
past Río Negro.
Uh-huh?
The idea is to circle around the community
and end up at Señora Verónica's house.
Okay, Aucán! Aucán!
Here you go. Sniff it. Sniff it. Attaboy.
Go on. That's it.
Easy, easy. And go!
[tense music plays]
[Pizarro] We've got to come up
with a motive for Medina
to want Verónica to disappear.
[Nora] Yeah, but we still don't have proof
that he's the one responsible
for her disappearance.
But for her kidnapping, we do.
[Braulio] Uh, meaning?
Her life was a kidnapping.
Altos del Lago may be paradise, but
it's abundantly clear
that the only thing Verónica wanted was
to get the hell outta there.
If she wanted to leave so badly,
why didn't she talk
to her sister about it?
- Do you tell your friends everything?
- [scoffs] He doesn't have friends.
You kiddin'?
Eh, sad, but true, you know?
[Pizarro] Very funny. Listen,
Toledo is gonna build a Montes profile
by interrogating Medina,
so let's build our own Medina profile.
'Kay, but what we got against him?
- His ex?
- Mm.
Domestic violence.
There'd be a report for that
with the police.
Well, there are plenty of abuse cases
that aren't reported, right?
Hmm.
[tense music ends]
What's that brand of camera?
The model?
[López] Why do you ask?
Um
It's because the one I had was stolen.
Oh. Well, this one's a Canon.
- [Toledo] It's in here.
- It's pretty good.
[Toledo] Hey, López.
Don Mario,
the, uh, psychologist.
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Yeah.
[Toledo] Rodrigo Valdivia,
psychology specialist
for the Southern Police Brigade.
Don't be intimidated by the title.
Obviously, although we use
psychological evaluation on the deceased,
we also use it
in the case of missing persons as well.
[Toledo] I'll, uh
I'll leave you two alone.
Excuse me.
Don Mario,
would you tell me about your wife?
Well,
my wife was
an excellent homemaker.
Mm-hmm?
Mm, a very attentive woman,
very tidy,
methodical.
Especially in regards to the girls.
Very present.
How often would you say
you conversed together?
Sure, we talked.
Yeah, small conversations,
day to day, about the girls.
Vero was a good partner.
But the affectionate side, the, you know
Um
That friendship that some couples have,
that wasn't there anymore.
- [Valdivia] Mm.
- The red light turned off.
What did?
The red light on the camera went out.
Ah.
Uh
The light. Uh
- Are we doing okay?
- [Valdivia] Yes.
Uh, there we go.
Should I look straight there?
Uh, wherever you like.
- Now, sir
- Mm-hmm?
uh, how often did you
and your wife have sexual intercourse?
Three times a month.
Mm-hmm?
And do you find that number
to be satisfactory?
It's what we were used to, I guess.
And how was it for your wife?
We talked about it once,
and she suggested we go to a motel.
Did you go?
Yep.
I agreed to.
How many times did you?
Once.
Why?
Well, because once was enough.
You know?
Look,
I was in love with her.
- In my own way.
- [Valdivia] Sure.
I was happy with her.
And I think she was happy with me too.
She never told me otherwise
or I guess I'd know.
At least I think she was happy.
I
I never thought to question.
How are you doing these days
with everything that's happened to you?
I'm trying to connect with my daughters,
to help them get back to normal
as soon as possible.
This whole experience
has really helped me connect with them.
Because if there's
If there's a thing that
that I always say,
it's you have to see the good in the bad.
Even if it hurts.
[lawyer] Excuse me, what's going on here?
Why wasn't I informed?
Your client agreed
to a psychological interview a week ago.
- That's right.
- Huh?
- Yeah.
- Mario!
[Toledo] No, no, uh, counselor, uh
- Counselor.
- Sorry.
- Send me the link, okay? Thanks.
- Sure. Of course.
[lawyer] Mario, what were you thinking?
Why would you possibly accept?
[lawyer continues indistinctly]
I'm sorry. Sorry.
- Mm.
- No.
Eh, what do you think?
What can I tell ya?
Well, he spoke about his wife
in the past tense the entire time.
Don't take your eyes off him is my advice.
Afternoon.
- Hey, Javi.
- [Javi] Hi, how are you?
- [Braulio] Good. You? How's your mom?
- [Javi] Still here. Same as always.
- Thanks.
- [Braulio] Great.
[woman 3] Everyone saying something
about themselves.
[Nora] I think that's the one.
The brunette.
[Braulio] I wonder how long ago
she dated Medina.
You wanna know what her favorite color is?
Eh, you know what?
Welcome.
Um, can I help you today?
Was he ever violent with you in any way?
[woman 3] Mario? No, no.
He He was perfectly courteous.
Sometimes too courteous.
Oh, yeah? Really?
Even when we weren't together anymore,
he would reach out,
contact me to offer me help.
I'd been dating for a year
and a half or so with someone,
and I found out I was pregnant. Um
And And then things
became a little bit strange.
How strange?
He
He called and told me
he wanted to take care of my son.
How?
Why?
I don't know, but he insisted on it.
He even tracked down the father
of my son too.
[scoffs] He even thought there
was something,
you know, some kind of interest,
some romantic interest between us.
But no.
There wasn't a thing between us.
He just, um,
wanted to be a father.
[mysterious music plays]
Really.
I remember when, um, the father of my son
came back to the house early, uh
He said that Mario was completely
out of his gourd
and that he had some screws loose.
[scoffs]
Do you believe he's dangerous?
No.
You know what?
We'll never know if he loved her or not,
but, uh, I really don't think
he'd actually harm her.
[mysterious music continues]
Come on, get in.
Víctor.
[sighs]
We, um
When we started this,
I thought we really had
something important, but, uh
But what?
It's over now.
Okay, fine, eh, you're right.
It didn't go well
with Medina's ex-girlfriend.
But, believe me, I have other ideas
that'll help us move forward.
Have a little faith in me
No, you know, Víctor,
there are plenty of ideas already.
Don't make that the issue.
We haven't found anything relevant
in over a month of investigation.
- So, we
- Wait, wait, wait. What the hell?
- [sighs]
- Are you telling me you want out?
No, it's not about wanting to, I don't.
Look, Víctor, you have to be realistic,
okay?
You can't keep giving
the family false hope.
- No. No, no. That's not what we're doing.
- Hey.
If something important comes in,
gimme a call.
But for now, I think it's best
we all go back to doin' our own thing.
Huh?
[quiet piano music plays]
- Look, Víctor. Víctor!
- You
The best thing you can do right now is
to take care of Joaco.
He's trying to connect
with you like crazy.
And believe me,
that's not gonna last forever.
Learn to let go.
Okay?
[quiet piano music continues]
Don't even dream of accusing my sister.
How could you even think it?
We would never do anything
to harm our sister for any reason.
Much less the girls.
What were you even thinking?
[lawyer] Please, let's calm down.
Everyone here wants to find Verónica.
It's true that it's now been many days,
and that makes everyone tense.
It's logical, natural.
It's very important
that the family stick together.
We know what we're doing.
Um, uh, yes, of course. I'm sure you do.
What I'm trying to convey is
you can't each go out on your own
saying the first thing
that comes to your mind
to the whole world,
to the police, the press.
You have to understand
that they could be recording you at work,
in your house, anywhere. Anywhere at all.
On your cell phone, in the car,
on a walk, at the office.
You see, you have to understand,
the cops are desperate.
We don't mind being recorded.
We have nothing to be afraid of.
[lawyer] Very well.
Another thing we wanted
to discuss with you is your lawyer.
I've known Pizarro for a long time, and
he's a very good lawyer, you know?
But, um, how can I say this?
He's, um
impulsive. [laughs]
One could even say a bit delusional.
Um, I don't know if you're aware that,
until not too long ago,
his license had been suspended
for presenting false evidence.
[Ceci] Look,
we don't know a thing about you,
and we're only here
because he suggested we hear you out,
to listen to what you had to say.
So, we're going out again
tomorrow morning with the dog.
Wanna come with us?
[tense music plays]
[Ceci] He told us that we had
to be careful with the police.
[music fades]
He also talked about you.
About some accusations against you.
About a case you had before and
malpractice.
But you know?
I really don't care about that.
All we're interested in
is finding Verónica.
And you're the only one
who's given us credible answers.

[dog barking]
Good to see you, sir.
Thanks. How you doing?
Better. How's Lemore?
Hanging in there.
Hi.
So, how effective is this little guy?
Well, if there's something to be found,
Aucán will find it.
Does he ever get it wrong?
No, dogs know what they know.
It's we humans who make mistakes,
the ones who train them.
How about we test the dog?
[Toledo] Uh, sir, this gentleman came here
especially all the way from Valdivia.
I understand that.
He came to see if it works, right?
Could we test it?
Here's the decoy.
Go ahead and hide it.
'Kay, turn around, then, would ya?
- [Toledo] Huh?
- Sorry?
Face that way. Turn around.
Make sure he doesn't peek too, 'kay?
Face that way.
- I'll tell you when to turn around.
- Okay, boy, turn around. Aucán. Aucán.
Come on. Turn around.
[Toledo clears throat]
They had told me the gentleman was, uh,
a little strange.
Mm.
But it's worse than I figured.
RESCUE
[Mario] Okay.
- 'Kay.
- [Mario] Go ahead!
Okay, boy, go!
- [Toledo] Why the dog go that way?
- [trainer] Don't worry, chief.
He'll find it.
[Aucán barks excitedly]
See?
Attaboy! Good boy!
[light music plays]
Good boy, Aucán! Come here!
[light music continues]
You know, I
Well, since you're a specialist,
you know,
- I There are Things aren't clear yet.
- Sh!
Especially the day that Vero disappeared.
Um
I don't know, I feel that
- That route, for example?
- Uh-huh?
If we could do that route perhaps,
from the house to the school,
we could discover,
I don't know,
maybe you could help me do that route.
Um
The thing is, we're not authorized
to do work like that for the public.
So, uh, we can't
[Toledo] Look,
it's better if we just leave it like that.
Agent Silva is a specialist in his field.
Hm?
Oh, yeah.
- You're busy. I know.
- [Toledo] Yeah.
But could I invite you
for a bite to express my thanks?
[tense music plays]
[Aucán barks outside]
[Silva] Before enjoying
this delicious meal,
we ask You, God Almighty, father of us all
to guide my faithful dog Aucán
so that he can help this family
and find Mr. Medina's wife Verónica.
To find peace
and an end to all their suffering.
[Aucán continues barking]
And that he and his daughters
can regain their lives.
[tense music continues]
Amen.
Amen.
Well, don't let the food cool off.
Be my guests.
Thank you very much. You're very kind.
Thank you.
And your daughters?
[Mario] Hm?
- [Aucán continues barking]
- Good.
They're all right.
They're very good girls.
[Silva] Actually, I was asking
where they might be at this time tomorrow,
to
avoid causing them pain.
[Aucán's barking intensifies]
Causing pain how?
We'll have to check the whole community
[tense music continues]
go through the houses.
[yelping, whimpering excitedly]
It's just a formality.
- I'm sure you understand.
- Yes.
Of course.
[Aucán barks louder]
[tense music continues]
Aucán's being a little too
I think it's better I get him home.
Thank you, Mr. Medina,
really, for the excellent lunch.
[Mario] My pleasure.
- I'll walk you out.
- Sure, thank you.
- Chief?
- Oh, of course.
Think I'd better get going too.
Hi there.
[Aucán barks, whimpers]
- Is this one of your daughters?
- [Mario] Yes, this is my oldest, Kari.
- Oh hi.
- [Silva] How are you doing?
- Fine, thanks.
- That's good.
- Hi.
- Good afternoon.
Maybe he recognized a familiar scent.
One of the family.
[Toledo] Mm-hmm.
Need a ride?
[Toledo] Oh, thanks, yes.
- Thanks. Take care.
- See you soon.
- [Toledo] Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Have a good day.
- [Kari] Bye.
[Silva] Aucán, relax!
[Aucán continues barking]
[tense music continues]
What's the dog for?
HOOKS & FISHING RODS
TELESCOPIC SIGHTS & FLASHLIGHTS
- [Pizarro] Hi.
- [man] Evening.
[Pizarro] We'd like to see
some fishing rods, please.
I like that red one.
You catch fish with color now, ya know?
You have to pick one that works,
one that's good quality.
[chuckles]
How would I know the difference?
You never take me out anywhere.
No. Now, would you?
[scoffs]
There. That's a good one.
That's red. Hmm?
- [man] This one here?
- Mm-hmm.
It's cheaper too, huh?
Nah, you think so?
[Joaquín chuckles]
[Joaquín] You really sure you can come?
[Pizarro] Sure, I'm sure.
I'll pick you up at eight, okay?
So be ready at your place at eight.
[Joaquín] Okay.
[Pizarro] What do you say
we give these bad boys a test run?
You know, I'm thinking of going
to Sofi and Martin's for a little while.
That's fine, Kari.
You can even stay overnight there.
Hmm?
You've hardly even seen your friends.
I think it's good for you
to get back to your routine.
Get back to normal again.
I guess.
- But, I mean
- It's all okay.
And I'm okay.
Relax.
Are you sure?
Of course.

She's here, in the house.
She?
Verónica.

[Mario] But she's dead.
You've gotta come now.

SOUTH DISTRICT POLICE
- Did you go in here?
- [López] No.
- Well, yeah.
- For Christ's sake, which is it?
[López] Just the entrance.
The batteries in my flashlight were dying.
- So, I just took a quick look.
- God
[Lòpez] And I didn't notice
there was that corner there.

I knew that space was there,
and I happened to
I'd just forgotten about it till now.
[Toledo] And why did you go there today?
[lawyer] You don't have to answer that.
An impulse. That's all.
I wouldn't know how to explain it.
I mean, I could give you a lot of reasons.
Maybe. Maybe it was being outdoors today,
or perhaps the forest.
I don't know.
Maybe that's why
I sensed that strange smell.
Uh
[mobile buzzes]
[buzzing continues]
- Nora. Hey.
- [Nora] Víctor.
Guess what? I did what you told me.
I'm waiting for Joaquín.
We're going on a trip for a few days.
I'm thinking
Víctor, listen to me.
They found Verónica.
Um, is it for real?
- Absolutely. They
- Nora, if this is bullshit
No. The police just pronounced her dead
up at Altos del Lago.
Get your ass over here now.
[mobile buzzes]
[buzzing continues]
[buzzing continues]
Where did they?
[shuddering sobs]
- No.
- [Martín] What is it?
No! [cries]
- What happened?
- It'll be okay.
What day is today?
- [Braulio] Tuesday.
- No, no, no. What number is it?
Uh, August 10th.
So it's today, then.
[Pizarro] What is?
The fucking date.
- [Pizarro] What date?
- Final date for the reward payout.
It's today.
Sorry, ma'am, this area is off limits.
Guzmán! Let her in!
What happened?
- You hear anything more about my sister?
- Yes. Uh
Well, tell me, where is she?
Uh, she's inside.
In the house.
But you
[melancholy music plays]
[woman sings hauntingly]
- No, calm down.
- She's here.
- I have to see her.
- You have to stay here. Please.
I'm sorry.
[woman continues vocalizing]
[cries] I need to see her.
- She's my sister.
- I'm sorry.
- I need you to stay here.
- Please. I beg you.

Oh God! She was my sister.
Please.

A NETFLIX SERIES
[light piano music plays]
[Ceci] Mario said what?
That it was us? Are you sure?
Well, it's more or less in line
with the statement that he gave.
And, um, he says that, um, he first heard
the voice of a woman
and then the voice of a man.
And as far as he could tell,
the voices sounded like,
uh, not to put too fine a point on it,
but the voices were yours
and your husband's.
[Pizarro scoffs] Come on, Toledo. Please.
Don't you see what he's doing?
[Toledo] It's my job to document
all valid statements, Pizarro.
- Why don't you try doing things better?
- Wh
Did you take his DNA
to compare to afterwards?
Well, did you? Did you or not?
Did you tap his telephone?
Is he being followed?
Medina goes in and out of his house
whenever he wants
and nobody's following him.
They're harassing my clients, pal,
and meanwhile he's laughing.
He's laughing to death.
[light piano music continues]
He's hiding something,
and you act as if you work for him.
How many more days are you gonna let him
go romping around unchecked?

MISSING

- [Emi] Wow! It's really pretty.
- [Ceci] Well, what do you think?
[Kari] It's nice.
[Ceci] It is, isn't it?
- [Emi] I like it.
- [Kari] Which one's bigger?
[Ceci] That one.
Darn! [laughs]
That's ours. [laughs]
[Kari laughs]
[Ceci] Hey. Why the face?
No, I love it. I feel it's just
a bit sort of isolated, ya know?
Sort of closed in, that's all.
- Is that the sensation you get? Closed in?
- Just a skosh.
[all laugh]
Whenever you get a feeling like that,
you can come on out, and we'll chat.

MISSING
5,000,000 AWARD
[knocking at door]
[reporter] invited the husband
of the unfortunate missing woman,
Verónica Montes
[woman 1] Why did they throw
the police out?
Isn't anybody looking for Vero?
- Here. Drink this.
- Nah.
What'd they say?
[sighs] Nobody knows anything.
I told you I'd let you know
if anything came up.
Why do you come here just like that, Mom?
Oh, so I should just sit and wait?
Do absolutely nothing
while the whole world ignores
that my daughter is missing
somewhere out there?
And that monster next door,
what's he saying?
I I remember our last night together.
I was just falling asleep
when she came into the bedroom.
[light piano music plays]
I remember that she, uh,
she lay in bed next to me and said,
"It's hard for us to even hug."
Kari, what's Daddy doing up on the TV?
I looked at her and said, "No, honey."
It's nothing, come on.
[Mario] I think something
was unsettling her.
Making her feel uneasy.
There must have been
something that worried her.
Right, first the day was normal,
and now something has been unsettling her?
[Braulio] Thanks, Granny.
- Huh?
- Okay, the guy's weird, that's obvious,
but that doesn't automatically mean
he did in his wife.
You do recall that he hasn't phoned her
since she went missing.
You don't think it's suspicious
that he threw the police
out of his house overnight?
Let me play devil's advocate here.
If I said that those guys stompin'
around in my home
were more concerned of accusing me
instead of finding my wife,
I'd throw their asses out of my house.
- No, come on, Braulio!
- Why not?
That's not what this is.
[Braulio] Why? Hey,
they were there for two weeks,
day and night, and they didn't find her.
What would you do?
I dunno.
Cooperate. Give some DNA, for example.
- Yeah, of course.
- Okay.
And what if they use that DNA sample
to accuse you of a crime?
- [Pizarro groans]
- You're a lawyer, for Christ's sake.
Imagine your client
in the same circumstances as this guy,
with the whole world
pointing their finger at him.
What would you tell him?
Would you recommend he take a DNA test?
Shit no.
[Margarita] Got it!
- Carlitos!
- [Carlitos] Yeah!
- [Braulio] Gimme a boiled egg. Thanks.
- [Carlitos] Sure. There.
HUSBAND
"THERE HAVE BEEN VERY SAD DAYS"
[Braulio] Thanks.
[mysterious music plays]
[Mario] Emi!
- We're back!
- It's been so long!
[Emi giggles]
How did it go?
- Fine.
- Yeah? Did you have fun?
Even though I was scared
to go on one of the rides.
Oh!
But Kari was even more afraid.
[Emi & Mario laugh]
You want a hand?
- [woman 2] Hello, Emi.
- There.
[woman 2] Aren't you just
the sweetest little thing?
- You have fun?
- I saw the interview.
- [Emi] Uh-huh.
- [woman 2] What's her name?
- [Emi] Cuncu. Uh-huh.
- [woman 2] Cuncu?
Uh, yeah.
This is Señora Judith.
She'll be helping us from now on.
- [Emi] Know how to make pancakes?
- [Judith] Pancakes, of course!
You want help?
It's okay.
You all right?
Mm-hmm. Fine.
[sirens blare]
[Ceci] He kicked them out a week ago,
and now he's calling them back?
What changed his mind?
He told the police he wanted protection
for his daughters.
Any news from the other investigations?
Yes, um,
the divers are coming to,
uh, search the lake for her body.
Hmm?
Sorry.
Don't worry about it, it's all right.
We're also putting together
the canine search
your brothers were asking for.
The psychic they hired
asked for the dogs too.

Is it okay if I put a little
of Mom's perfume on?
[Kari] Sure.
But just a little bit,
we'll save some for her.
[perfume sprays]
Give me a little too.
[perfume sprays]
[sniffs] Mm.
Smells good.
Nice drawing.
[Emi] It's Mom.
[Kari] And why are you sad?
'Cause it's one of the last times
we were with her all together.
- And that's me, isn't it?
- Uh-huh.
What am I angry for?
[Emi] 'Cause both of you were really mad.
And you talked a long time that night.
And Mom took a long time to go to bed.

The main bedroom is over there.
- Her office is upstairs where she worked.
- Uh-huh. Right.
- And I don't know where you'd like to
- May I go up?
- Yes, yes, of course.
- [psychic] Mind hanging on to my purse?
- [Toledo] Sure.
- [psychic] Thanks.
- Excuse me.
- [Toledo] Go ahead, please. Be my guest.
[music fades out]
[grunts]
- Cool, you've got a picture of me?
- Yep.
How old was I here?
There?
Uh
You were a baby. I dunno.
[sarcastic] Really?
I hadn't noticed.
[Pizarro] Hey
Remember the other day,
you said you wanted to go fishing, right?
Yeah, but you you're too busy with stuff.
Don't worry about it.
[Pizarro] No, let's do it.
Listen, give me some time
to organize some things I have coming up,
and we can pick a weekend.
- [Joaquín] Really? Sure!
- Yeah!
[host] Did you notice
anything at the house
or anything at all
that might help find this person?
You know, inside the house, there was a
very morbid sensation, actually.
- [host] Morbid?
- Mm-hmm.
- [host] In what way?
- [inhales sharply]
[psychic] At first,
I got a feeling of distress in my chest,
but the strongest feeling
was this freezing.
Frozen cold.
And humidity in that
[light music plays]
There was this intense sensation
as though Verónica
was struggling to breathe
and crying for help.

damp and dark and
- And cold.
- Relax. We'll find her.
- Just relax, please. Come inside.
- Vero's cold. He knows.
- Please, Mom.
- He must know where
We'll find her, don't worry.
- Please, come with me.
- It's just that
- Go on.
- She's cold.
- [Ceci] That's it. Come on.

40 DAYS
Is it really true about this dog
that he never misses one?
Yes, sir.
Aucán solved cases
that are pretty complex,
pretty tough nuts
to crack here in the south.
[sighs]
Should we still wait for the husband, or?
- No, no. Let's just do this. Go on.
- Just us.
Do we know what area we'll cover later?
We'll go probably up the hill,
past Río Negro.
Uh-huh?
The idea is to circle around the community
and end up at Señora Verónica's house.
Okay, Aucán! Aucán!
Here you go. Sniff it. Sniff it. Attaboy.
Go on. That's it.
Easy, easy. And go!
[tense music plays]
[Pizarro] We've got to come up
with a motive for Medina
to want Verónica to disappear.
[Nora] Yeah, but we still don't have proof
that he's the one responsible
for her disappearance.
But for her kidnapping, we do.
[Braulio] Uh, meaning?
Her life was a kidnapping.
Altos del Lago may be paradise, but
it's abundantly clear
that the only thing Verónica wanted was
to get the hell outta there.
If she wanted to leave so badly,
why didn't she talk
to her sister about it?
- Do you tell your friends everything?
- [scoffs] He doesn't have friends.
You kiddin'?
Eh, sad, but true, you know?
[Pizarro] Very funny. Listen,
Toledo is gonna build a Montes profile
by interrogating Medina,
so let's build our own Medina profile.
'Kay, but what we got against him?
- His ex?
- Mm.
Domestic violence.
There'd be a report for that
with the police.
Well, there are plenty of abuse cases
that aren't reported, right?
Hmm.
[tense music ends]
What's that brand of camera?
The model?
[López] Why do you ask?
Um
It's because the one I had was stolen.
Oh. Well, this one's a Canon.
- [Toledo] It's in here.
- It's pretty good.
[Toledo] Hey, López.
Don Mario,
the, uh, psychologist.
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Yeah.
[Toledo] Rodrigo Valdivia,
psychology specialist
for the Southern Police Brigade.
Don't be intimidated by the title.
Obviously, although we use
psychological evaluation on the deceased,
we also use it
in the case of missing persons as well.
[Toledo] I'll, uh
I'll leave you two alone.
Excuse me.
Don Mario,
would you tell me about your wife?
Well,
my wife was
an excellent homemaker.
Mm-hmm?
Mm, a very attentive woman,
very tidy,
methodical.
Especially in regards to the girls.
Very present.
How often would you say
you conversed together?
Sure, we talked.
Yeah, small conversations,
day to day, about the girls.
Vero was a good partner.
But the affectionate side, the, you know
Um
That friendship that some couples have,
that wasn't there anymore.
- [Valdivia] Mm.
- The red light turned off.
What did?
The red light on the camera went out.
Ah.
Uh
The light. Uh
- Are we doing okay?
- [Valdivia] Yes.
Uh, there we go.
Should I look straight there?
Uh, wherever you like.
- Now, sir
- Mm-hmm?
uh, how often did you
and your wife have sexual intercourse?
Three times a month.
Mm-hmm?
And do you find that number
to be satisfactory?
It's what we were used to, I guess.
And how was it for your wife?
We talked about it once,
and she suggested we go to a motel.
Did you go?
Yep.
I agreed to.
How many times did you?
Once.
Why?
Well, because once was enough.
You know?
Look,
I was in love with her.
- In my own way.
- [Valdivia] Sure.
I was happy with her.
And I think she was happy with me too.
She never told me otherwise
or I guess I'd know.
At least I think she was happy.
I
I never thought to question.
How are you doing these days
with everything that's happened to you?
I'm trying to connect with my daughters,
to help them get back to normal
as soon as possible.
This whole experience
has really helped me connect with them.
Because if there's
If there's a thing that
that I always say,
it's you have to see the good in the bad.
Even if it hurts.
[lawyer] Excuse me, what's going on here?
Why wasn't I informed?
Your client agreed
to a psychological interview a week ago.
- That's right.
- Huh?
- Yeah.
- Mario!
[Toledo] No, no, uh, counselor, uh
- Counselor.
- Sorry.
- Send me the link, okay? Thanks.
- Sure. Of course.
[lawyer] Mario, what were you thinking?
Why would you possibly accept?
[lawyer continues indistinctly]
I'm sorry. Sorry.
- Mm.
- No.
Eh, what do you think?
What can I tell ya?
Well, he spoke about his wife
in the past tense the entire time.
Don't take your eyes off him is my advice.
Afternoon.
- Hey, Javi.
- [Javi] Hi, how are you?
- [Braulio] Good. You? How's your mom?
- [Javi] Still here. Same as always.
- Thanks.
- [Braulio] Great.
[woman 3] Everyone saying something
about themselves.
[Nora] I think that's the one.
The brunette.
[Braulio] I wonder how long ago
she dated Medina.
You wanna know what her favorite color is?
Eh, you know what?
Welcome.
Um, can I help you today?
Was he ever violent with you in any way?
[woman 3] Mario? No, no.
He He was perfectly courteous.
Sometimes too courteous.
Oh, yeah? Really?
Even when we weren't together anymore,
he would reach out,
contact me to offer me help.
I'd been dating for a year
and a half or so with someone,
and I found out I was pregnant. Um
And And then things
became a little bit strange.
How strange?
He
He called and told me
he wanted to take care of my son.
How?
Why?
I don't know, but he insisted on it.
He even tracked down the father
of my son too.
[scoffs] He even thought there
was something,
you know, some kind of interest,
some romantic interest between us.
But no.
There wasn't a thing between us.
He just, um,
wanted to be a father.
[mysterious music plays]
Really.
I remember when, um, the father of my son
came back to the house early, uh
He said that Mario was completely
out of his gourd
and that he had some screws loose.
[scoffs]
Do you believe he's dangerous?
No.
You know what?
We'll never know if he loved her or not,
but, uh, I really don't think
he'd actually harm her.
[mysterious music continues]
Come on, get in.
Víctor.
[sighs]
We, um
When we started this,
I thought we really had
something important, but, uh
But what?
It's over now.
Okay, fine, eh, you're right.
It didn't go well
with Medina's ex-girlfriend.
But, believe me, I have other ideas
that'll help us move forward.
Have a little faith in me
No, you know, Víctor,
there are plenty of ideas already.
Don't make that the issue.
We haven't found anything relevant
in over a month of investigation.
- So, we
- Wait, wait, wait. What the hell?
- [sighs]
- Are you telling me you want out?
No, it's not about wanting to, I don't.
Look, Víctor, you have to be realistic,
okay?
You can't keep giving
the family false hope.
- No. No, no. That's not what we're doing.
- Hey.
If something important comes in,
gimme a call.
But for now, I think it's best
we all go back to doin' our own thing.
Huh?
[quiet piano music plays]
- Look, Víctor. Víctor!
- You
The best thing you can do right now is
to take care of Joaco.
He's trying to connect
with you like crazy.
And believe me,
that's not gonna last forever.
Learn to let go.
Okay?
[quiet piano music continues]
Don't even dream of accusing my sister.
How could you even think it?
We would never do anything
to harm our sister for any reason.
Much less the girls.
What were you even thinking?
[lawyer] Please, let's calm down.
Everyone here wants to find Verónica.
It's true that it's now been many days,
and that makes everyone tense.
It's logical, natural.
It's very important
that the family stick together.
We know what we're doing.
Um, uh, yes, of course. I'm sure you do.
What I'm trying to convey is
you can't each go out on your own
saying the first thing
that comes to your mind
to the whole world,
to the police, the press.
You have to understand
that they could be recording you at work,
in your house, anywhere. Anywhere at all.
On your cell phone, in the car,
on a walk, at the office.
You see, you have to understand,
the cops are desperate.
We don't mind being recorded.
We have nothing to be afraid of.
[lawyer] Very well.
Another thing we wanted
to discuss with you is your lawyer.
I've known Pizarro for a long time, and
he's a very good lawyer, you know?
But, um, how can I say this?
He's, um
impulsive. [laughs]
One could even say a bit delusional.
Um, I don't know if you're aware that,
until not too long ago,
his license had been suspended
for presenting false evidence.
[Ceci] Look,
we don't know a thing about you,
and we're only here
because he suggested we hear you out,
to listen to what you had to say.
So, we're going out again
tomorrow morning with the dog.
Wanna come with us?
[tense music plays]
[Ceci] He told us that we had
to be careful with the police.
[music fades]
He also talked about you.
About some accusations against you.
About a case you had before and
malpractice.
But you know?
I really don't care about that.
All we're interested in
is finding Verónica.
And you're the only one
who's given us credible answers.

Better. How's Lemore?
Hanging in there.
Hi.
So, how effective is this little guy?
Well, if there's something to be found,
Aucán will find it.
Does he ever get it wrong?
No, dogs know what they know.
It's we humans who make mistakes,
the ones who train them.
How about we test the dog?
[Toledo] Uh, sir, this gentleman came here
especially all the way from Valdivia.
I understand that.
He came to see if it works, right?
Could we test it?
Here's the decoy.
Go ahead and hide it.
'Kay, turn around, then, would ya?
- [Toledo] Huh?
- Sorry?
Face that way. Turn around.
Make sure he doesn't peek too, 'kay?
Face that way.
- I'll tell you when to turn around.
- Okay, boy, turn around. Aucán. Aucán.
Come on. Turn around.
[Toledo clears throat]
They had told me the gentleman was, uh,
a little strange.
Mm.
But it's worse than I figured.

- 'Kay.
- [Mario] Go ahead!
Okay, boy, go!

Well, since you're a specialist,
you know,
- I There are Things aren't clear yet.
- Sh!
Especially the day that Vero disappeared.
Um
I don't know, I feel that
- That route, for example?
- Uh-huh?
If we could do that route perhaps,
from the house to the school,
we could discover,
I don't know,
maybe you could help me do that route.
Um
The thing is, we're not authorized
to do work like that for the public.
So, uh, we can't
[Toledo] Look,
it's better if we just leave it like that.
Agent Silva is a specialist in his field.
Hm?
Oh, yeah.
- You're busy. I know.
- [Toledo] Yeah.
But could I invite you
for a bite to express my thanks?
[tense music plays]
[Aucán barks outside]
[Silva] Before enjoying
this delicious meal,
we ask You, God Almighty, father of us all
to guide my faithful dog Aucán
so that he can help this family
and find Mr. Medina's wife Verónica.
To find peace
and an end to all their suffering.
[Aucán continues barking]
And that he and his daughters
can regain their lives.
[tense music continues]
Amen.
Amen.
Well, don't let the food cool off.
Be my guests.
Thank you very much. You're very kind.
Thank you.
And your daughters?
[Mario] Hm?
- [Aucán continues barking]
- Good.
They're all right.
They're very good girls.
[Silva] Actually, I was asking
where they might be at this time tomorrow,
to
avoid causing them pain.
[Aucán's barking intensifies]
Causing pain how?
We'll have to check the whole community
[tense music continues]
go through the houses.
[yelping, whimpering excitedly]
It's just a formality.
- I'm sure you understand.
- Yes.
Of course.
[Aucán barks louder]
[tense music continues]
Aucán's being a little too
I think it's better I get him home.
Thank you, Mr. Medina,
really, for the excellent lunch.
[Mario] My pleasure.
- I'll walk you out.
- Sure, thank you.
- Chief?
- Oh, of course.
Think I'd better get going too.
Hi there.
[Aucán barks, whimpers]
- Is this one of your daughters?
- [Mario] Yes, this is my oldest, Kari.
- Oh hi.
- [Silva] How are you doing?
- Fine, thanks.
- That's good.
- Hi.
- Good afternoon.
Maybe he recognized a familiar scent.
One of the family.
[Toledo] Mm-hmm.
Need a ride?
[Toledo] Oh, thanks, yes.
- Thanks. Take care.

HOOKS & FISHING RODS
TELESCOPIC SIGHTS & FLASHLIGHTS
- [Pizarro] Hi.
- [man] Evening.
[Pizarro] We'd like to see
some fishing rods, please.
I like that red one.
You catch fish with color now, ya know?
You have to pick one that works,
one that's good quality.
[chuckles]
How would I know the difference?
You never take me out anywhere.
No. Now, would you?
[scoffs]
There. That's a good one.
That's red. Hmm?
- [man] This one here?
- Mm-hmm.
It's cheaper too, huh?
Nah, you think so?
[Joaquín chuckles]
[Joaquín] You really sure you can come?
[Pizarro] Sure, I'm sure.
I'll pick you up at eight, okay?
So be ready at your place at eight.
[Joaquín] Okay.
[Pizarro] What do you say
we give these bad boys a test run?
You know, I'm thinking of going
to Sofi and Martin's for a little while.
That's fine, Kari.
You can even stay overnight there.
Hmm?
You've hardly even seen your friends.
I think it's good for you
to get back to your routine.
Get back to normal again.
I guess.
- But, I mean
- It's all okay.
And I'm okay.
Relax.
Are you sure?
Of course.

SOUTH DISTRICT POLICE
- Did you go in here?
- [López] No.
- Well, yeah.
- For Christ's sake, which is it?
[López] Just the entrance.
The batteries in my flashlight were dying.
- So, I just took a quick look.
- God
[Lòpez] And I didn't notice
there was that corner there.

[Asenjo] Let him through.

It's his lawyer.
[Mario] I don't know. I
I knew that space was there,
and I happened to
I'd just forgotten about it till now.
[Toledo] And why did you go there today?
[lawyer] You don't have to answer that.
An impulse. That's all.
I wouldn't know how to explain it.
I mean, I could give you a lot of reasons.
Maybe. Maybe it was being outdoors today,
or perhaps the forest.
I don't know.
Maybe that's why
I sensed that strange smell.
Uh
[mobile buzzes]
[buzzing continues]
- Nora. Hey.
- [Nora] Víctor.
Guess what? I did what you told me.
I'm waiting for Joaquín.
We're going on a trip for a few days.
I'm thinking
Víctor, listen to me.
They found Verónica.
Um, is it for real?
