El topo
1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Any search involves a risk.
50 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE That it might never end.
That you might live always wondering if you'll ever be able to find what you were looking for.
Well, I think that's all for now.
You must sign the authorization so we can manipulate your cell phone.
What do you smell in all this? Smell in all this, you say? I have congenital anosmia.
I was born without the sense of smell.
- I'm really sorry.
- It's not too bad.
They say the world stinks.
Regarding the kidnapping of your family, it's all too confusing, don't you think? Apparently, there are no economic reasons.
They asked for a ransom.
But they haven't asked for the money anymore.
- That points to a different reason.
- And what would that reason be? An extortion, a settling of scores.
You know better than I do.
I mean that if there's another reason, it'd be helpful to know about it.
I'm not hiding any information from you.
I think you are, Mr.
Guzmán.
I've been involved in several abduction cases, and, logically, I've been on the victims' side.
You do not match the profile of a person suffering for his family.
This has gotten out of hand.
I'm not doing that bad.
I wanted a car, and I got one.
And some money, too.
And a poor boy kidnapped.
We'll see if he's a "poor boy.
" He clearly has nothing to do with the other man.
Look, Mom, that poor boy, as you say, is a mercenary who does this for money.
Once he finds out he's been left behind He knows Alejandro would pay anything for information.
And he knows where to find him.
Besides, he knows we don't have papers and we can't leave the country.
How can you ask me to set him free? That boy might be the only one who can help you get out of this mess.
No.
Absolutely not.
I won't ever trust anyone again.
Can't you see you can't get out of this nightmare on your own? I'm not alone.
I've got all of you.
We're a burden rather than help.
Can't you just trust me even just a little? I'm trying, sweetheart.
You're not making it easy.
Welcome! Jeez.
The guy from the supermarket.
See? He's recognized you, and he won't be the only one.
Magda, please, get some help Mom, where's TobÃas? Isn't he coming down? He's making a call.
To celebrate, we'll be partying for 40 hours straight Look after the kids.
Don't let them talk to anyone.
I want everyone upstairs in an hour.
And don't let them go into the other apartment.
Here.
All right.
And now, a scene from a legendary period.
Record, share, and dance! Hey! Hey, Magda! Newlyweds? - Yes.
- Yes.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Excuse me, could you help me? - This man is harassing me.
- Me? Yes.
He says he knows me, but I don't know him at all.
Of course I know her.
She's Magda Escudero.
I'm not that person, I already told you.
Besides, I don't even know who that is.
She was a beauty queen.
Top model.
She was in all the gossip magazines until she married.
Me, all that? Yes, with a Mexican millionaire, yes.
I've never set foot in Mexico! The media has released news about her abduction today.
Do I look like an abducted person? Come on, please.
Really, he's starting to freak me out.
- Dude - No, no, no.
Stay out of this.
Hey, don't worry, I'll be very polite.
We're getting off here, and you're coming with us.
The lady will go on alone.
Just a minute.
I'm a journalist.
My name is Ariel Carnicero.
I work for Radio Benidorm.
I'm sure I have a card somewhere.
Out.
Out.
Fuck, come on.
Come on, she's lying.
Trust me, she's Magda Escudero.
Hi.
Hi.
The FreeTubers meeting will start in an hour.
We have a stand inside.
I've played since I was very little.
Since I was four.
Who wants to lose 50 euros? Nobody? Nobody wants to play against me? I do.
- You? - Yes, me.
Fifty euros.
I don't have any money.
Show your euros.
Fifty euros.
- Heads or tails? - Tails.
- Hello.
- Yes? - I need a small fav Hi.
- Hi.
I have a problem.
Just one? Thank God.
But it's a bit urgent and I'd like your help.
Me? Okay, let's see if I can guess.
I'll take my chances, okay? Okay.
You want something to drink, but you're broke.
That's it.
Right.
Then you don't have a problem, you've got two.
Why two? Thirst and thinking I'll buy you one just because you're hot.
- Mexican? - Yes.
Don't look around here.
You won't get anything.
Look, on a regular day, any of these freaks would give you blood if you asked them, but they're scatterbrained today.
Oh, yeah? We'll see about that.
Hey.
Have you ever worked in your life? Define "work.
" God! More, give me more.
No.
No, no, no.
Don't gag me.
I won't scream.
I won't scream.
Magda, before you tell me what the fuck you're doing, I need a shot of insulin, all right? Otherwise I'll go into a diabetic coma.
Okay? Look, the syringe is in that toiletry kit right there.
The brown one.
That one.
What's the PIN for your credit card? What? Your card's PIN.
Why do you want my credit card's PIN? I need money.
Where's Simón? Right now, he's leaving Spain with my three million.
What are you saying? That he conned me.
He's taken all my money.
I had to go steal with my family in order to eat, okay? No way! You don't know anything? If he's gone with your money, he's got mine, too.
Right.
He's taken the whole lot.
- Okay, where do I stick you? - No, no, no.
Don't move, don't move.
Untie me.
I'll stick myself.
No, I can't.
But I haven't done anything.
If I let you go, you'll go tell my husband.
Your husband? You'll tell him where you've hidden us.
- And why would I do that? - For money.
I'm not like Simón, okay? I don't know that.
I don't know you.
- Look, let me go, okay? Let me go.
- No.
No.
No, listen, listen.
Listen to me.
Let me go.
I'll go get him, get the money back.
You'll get yours.
I just want my cut.
I've had more than enough of trusting people.
Okay, then let me go to the toilet.
- I'm sorry, that's not possible.
- I gotta piss badly.
- Then pee.
- You're torturing me.
Yes, I know.
And I don't want to, trust me.
If you know that, then stop treating me like a fucking package and have some common sense! Shut up! Shut up.
Look, TobÃas let's be practical, okay? I won't release you until I get my family away from here.
And how will you release me if you're away? I'll leave a note for the janitor.
Great.
Then I'll go look for you and thank you.
I need money and papers.
And to get both, you need me.
You need me.
No, no, no.
You need me.
I know how to get those papers.
You don't know a thing! And I have your life in my hands.
Don't try to act tough.
You're not capable of it.
I'm not capable? Yes, you are capable.
You are.
What can I do to convince you to trust me? Nothing.
You can't do anything.
Give me your card's PIN in exchange for this.
I'm sorry, I need to clean the room.
No, there's no need.
I need to get in before 9:00 a.
m.
If I don't do it now I'd rather do it myself.
Thanks.
Please, miss, I need to clean it.
Otherwise, my supervisor will fire me.
But your supervisor doesn't need to know.
There's a form on the door.
It's cleanliness control.
They change it every week.
I need to sign it.
Okay.
Wait here a second.
Don't move, please.
Stay here.
Sign it.
Thank you.
Don't you want me to change the sheets, at least? If you have any food to throw away, please don't.
I'll take it.
I'm sorry, but I haven't any.
Why are you scared? I'm not scared.
Welcome to the other side of the counter.
These people are gross.
Here you go.
Here.
- Wow! - Sorry! Watch out with that cough.
What's your name? Pau, like Paulina.
You? Rayco, like Rayco.
Right.
It's Guanche, from the Canary Islands.
What are you doing tonight? I don't know.
Why? Care to serve drinks? It will be swarming with people tonight.
Will you pay me? Fifty euros.
And you keep your tips.
If you're nice, you could get another 50 euros, at least.
I'm not hitting on you, even if that's how it seems, okay? No, it doesn't seem that way.
Okay.
So, what do you say? Could you give me another one while I think about it? Thank you.
Thank you for being here during this difficult time in my life.
My name is Alejandro Guzmán.
My family was kidnapped two days ago.
To the kidnappers, I beg you, please release my family, safe and sound.
If you do, there will be no retaliation.
I will simply thank God for it and He'd have made a great leading man.
- What? - My son.
He has the makings of an actor.
- I guess he must have told you - Told me what? The kidnapping is a lie.
There's been no kidnapping.
That bitch has done all of this.
Magda.
This is her way of thanking him for 20 years of luxury.
Insignificant as it may seem, please contact me.
Pau, Claudia, Rubén I love you.
Wherever you are be assured that I will find you.
Thank you very much.
- I definitely don't buy it.
- What? Whatever he's selling, I don't buy it.
Should we keep an eye on him? Him, his lover, and his mother, all three of them.
Thank you.
Are you all right? Yes.
Just a bit angry.
Do you want some water? - Yes, please.
- Water.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
I see you're still interested in me.
Perhaps because I love you.
I'd make love to you right this instant.
- Alejandro - Here and now.
Why did you tell them that if you know there's no kidnapping? Precisely.
If my children see this, the game's over.
Surely, Magda has brainwashed them, but this will make their stomachs turn.
And what are your plans for Magda? Magda's out of my life.
Never again.
I don't want her near me.
- Sir.
- What happened? Diego showed up, sir.
Diego? My colleague, Diego, he's finally appeared.
And where's he been since last Sunday? In the hospital.
I've been told he woke up from his coma this morning.
Diego.
Diego.
Diego.
Boss.
I'm alive.
Yes, you are.
That man, the one you followed from the racetrack, where did he go? I can't say.
He took a cab, I took another one.
We went down the avenue for about five kilometers.
He got out in front of a building.
Was the young man about my height, white skin, curly hair? Yes.
Yes, that's him.
Then they went into the building.
I went after them.
And there, I was caught off guard.
He knew how to fight.
He was a professional.
You're supposed to be a professional, too.
You're fired.
One, two, testing.
Yes, testing.
Are you ready, people? The time has come.
If no one objects, we're about to begin.
I need to get into the apartment.
Oh, I'm sorry.
There's someone inside.
THE NUMBER IS NOT CORREC YOU HAVE TWO MORE TRIES Look, man, we have a guest.
Are you sure this is your apartment? I'll show you something, okay? I won't be needing this.
Miss, if you need any help, we're worldwide experts in ATMs.
I just want to withdraw some cash.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
You should tell him.
Sorry, I didn't see the bottle.
Let me go, damn.
Hey, give me that! Give it to me! No! TobÃas Romano.
It's stolen.
You put the card inside here, then you turn it like this.
Twenty bucks.
Yes.
I'll pay you.
We should report you to the cops.
SELECT THE AMOUNT TO WITHDRAW THE AMOUNT REQUESTED EXCEEDS THE AUTHORIZED LIMI The die is cast.
Here, a souvenir.
So you don't forget this moment, okay? You're a very cute thief.
- You're gross, Raymond! - Let me go.
Hey, let me go! - You're gross.
- Let me go, I said! - Give me the 20 bucks.
- Let me go, let me go! Let me! The countdown begins.
Let me go! I said let me go or I'll break your head with this! MEXICO CITY - MADRID FLIGH Is that your daughter? Sorry, I couldn't help it.
My niece.
That's an impressive way to play.
I love tennis.
I've been following Nadal for a whole year around the world.
Nadal is great, huh? I love that man.
He's the best there is.
Some people prefer Federer, but I'm loyal to Nadal.
In fact, I have tickets for the New York Open.
You don't say! That's wonderful.
You're not Mexican, are you? Spanish? I was born in Tétouan.
My father's French and my mother's Spanish.
Will you be staying in Madrid? I don't know yet.
Do you know the city? Not much.
If you need a guide That's possible.
"To believe something's possible is to make it happen.
" That's a quote from Friedrich Hebbel, a German playwright who inspired Wagner to compose the "Nibelung.
" That's wonderful.
Hello.
I'm sorry, but we're closed now.
It's 10:00 p.
m.
We'll be opening again tomorrow at 10:00 a.
m.
This will only take a sec.
- Yes, but you can't come in.
- Mom, what are you doing here? - What about you? - I saw you coming in.
I called to make an appointment.
I'd like to talk to a specialist.
Okay, let's go.
Why don't you want us to seek advice on this? Because my situation is illegal, Mom.
You don't know that.
Of course I know.
Look, a lawyer's like a confessor.
You can tell him whatever you want.
He's sworn to secrecy.
- Isn't he? - Yes.
Mr.
De Juan will be here any moment and he'll clear this up.
- Just a minute.
Mr.
De Juan! - Let's go.
Please Look, Mr.
De Juan's already here.
He's here.
Come.
- Good evening.
- Hello.
I'm sorry for welcoming you without my jacket, but it's too hot and the air conditioning Amadeo De Juan.
- How can I be of service? - Pleased to meet you.
Well, what is this about? Is it related to an inheritance? - No.
- No, no.
It's My mother wanted to ask for advice, but it's too late now.
- We'll come back in the morning.
Come on.
- Wait, wait It's all fine.
We lawyers don't have a fixed schedule.
This is about a gender-based violence issue.
- Your husband? - No, no.
He's a very influential man with a lot of money.
He probably has a great lawyer.
The Spanish law against gender-based violence is very good.
Besides, it's the only subject in which all the political parties have managed to find an agreement.
I really thank you, but I'm not ready yet.
I'm sorry.
Mom, let's go.
Come on.
Let's go.
I know it's a delicate matter and I do understand.
- Right.
- But you must be brave and report him.
Yes, yes.
Come on.
- Thank you.
We appreciate it.
- Thank you.
Madam, excuse me.
Here's my card.
There's my cell phone and landline numbers.
Okay? - You can call me anytime.
- Very well.
At any hour, yes.
- Thank you.
- Any hour, yes.
You're welcome.
Bye.
- Good night.
- See you later.
Take care.
You've heard it.
If you report him for mistreatment, Spanish law will protect you.
Look, Mom, don't do anything else in my name.
Then what am I doing here? I don't want to hurt you or Edu.
You're exaggerating a bit.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Where are we supposed to be going now? - Here.
- A hairdresser? - Yes, we need papers.
- Papers, here? Come.
What are you doing here? - Something unexpected came up.
- Come in.
You've been on the news.
We shouldn't be seen together.
I need those documents now.
I'm sorry.
I only deal with Simón on this matter.
Simón can't take care of it.
Some family business came up and he can't.
Okay.
The other guy, then.
Look, I need to take my children away as soon as possible.
I told them I didn't want any trouble.
Where are the papers? Look, it's underway, but we won't have them for 24 hours.
What? No, I can't.
No, I need them now.
I'll see what I can do.
But the price goes up.
What do you mean? Well, I need to check with people.
I guess it'll mean 10,000 more.
All right, 10,000.
On top of the 50,000 we agreed on.
But Simón already paid that.
No, no way.
- He told me everything was settled.
- Nothing's settled.
Fifty thousand, plus the bonus for the rush.
All right.
Let's go, come on.
Rubén.
What are you doing here? - How did you get inside? - TobÃas, TobÃas.
Yeah.
He's in there, I know.
Did you do this to him? Yes.
Why? We don't know him, Rubén.
I fear he will trick us like the other guy did.
Understand? Mom, don't go in there.
- I want to see if he's okay.
- I'll deal with that.
You? Where will you get the money? - I don't know.
- Then how will you get those papers? I don't know! I need time to think! There's no time, Magda.
Everything's moving faster than you are.
Mom, I want us to let him go.
No, Rubén, no.
We come before anyone else.
Do you think he wants to hurt us? Tomorrow, at this time, we'll leave this place, and I'll set him free, I promise.
But not before.
Magda, how could you do this? On your own.
Why in such a hurry? We're having a good time for once.
- I stole a bag.
- What? Are you out of your mind? Do you want to get caught? I need makeup and stuff.
I'm going out tonight.
- What about your brother and sister? - There's Claudia.
- Claudia, we're going upstairs.
Upstairs.
- No, let me go.
I'll go up soon.
Where's Rubén? I don't know.
Upstairs! Pau, Claudia, Rubén, kids, I love you wherever you are.
Mike, I need to make a call.
Yes, but in private mode.
I don't want it to be traced.
Yes.
You can pay in bitcoins.
I'll invite you.
Thanks.
I stink because of you.
Did you get the money? Eat.
And papers? No papers.
The hairdresser asked you for money, didn't he? How much? Ten thousand? More? I don't want to eat, God damn it! I want you to untie me! What time do I need to stick you again? Think.
Think for a bit.
The insulin, when? You need me.
You won't get away without me.
Every time I've depended on a man, things have gone wrong.
Your situation is unsustainable.
You don't know anything at all.
You don't know anyone.
They'll take advantage of you.
They already are if they're asking for more.
Magda, we need to locate the old man and get the money back.
Without it, you can't set up a new life.
He's in Copenhagen.
I feared as much.
He's got a daughter there with a problem.
She's a drug addict.
Hello? Dad! Hi, Dad.
It's Claudia.
Claudia? We're okay.
We're not in danger.
Don't worry.
We're with Mom and I just wanted you to know.
Sweetie, where are you? I'm going to hang up, Dad.
No, listen to me.
I've had a terrible time.
I had a heart attack, I was hospitalized, and I almost died.
Dad, I - Is your mother there with you? - No! No, she can't know I'm calling you.
- Love, tell me where you are.
- I can't.
You think you're not in danger, but the truth is you are.
We've seen pictures of you with another woman.
In bed with another woman.
No, love, that's not true.
We've seen it, Dad.
Pictures can be modified.
- And you hit Mom, too.
- That's not true! You've hit her more than once.
I've seen it, I've heard it.
Listen to me.
You think you know, but you don't really know.
Couples have codes, agreements.
Every couple is different, love.
Mom needs time.
You have to make her forgive you, Dad.
Claudia, please, your mother is sick! Listen to me, she's been in therapy for a long time.
Because of you.
No, because of herself.
She hasn't accepted what happened to your brother.
- I'm hanging up.
- No, please, don't hang up.
She made a mistake and now your brother's deaf, understand? Bye, Dad.
Boss, the woman and that man haven't been seen in days.
I don't want Mom to know.
We won't tell her.
Do you think Dad might be right? That Mom isn't okay and all this is just, I don't know, a delusion of hers? Did you know Mom went to therapy? And you? Did you know? She's got that guy tied to the bed.
That doesn't speak too well of her.
I think it's a couple's thing.
- You take everything lightly.
- You take everything too seriously.
Because you didn't talk to Dad.
Mom's tired.
She wants to scare Dad to separate him from that bitch.
It's a strategy, and we're caught in the middle.
Then we must do something.
Why? To help, Paulina.
I'm not getting involved in this.
It's their problem.
You don't love anyone, right? I'm having fun.
I mean, not at first, but now I met a boy and I like him.
Besides, there are no bodyguards here and the party never ends.
I only hate these shitty clothes, but I'm off.
54 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE Pau, let's go.
Come upstairs.
I won't spend another night locked up.
We agreed we should all be together.
- Why? - For safety! Mom, I'll be serving drinks.
It's fun and I'll earn some money.
I want you upstairs with the others, now.
No, Mom.
This isn't Mexico, and I can take care of myself.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Yesterday, you had a panic attack in the middle of the street.
Yesterday, I wasn't myself, and you had just said terrible things.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You and Dad have been scaring us our whole lives.
Fear helps us survive.
I don't want to survive anymore.
Let me live for once.
I'm a woman, just like you.
You brought me here.
At least let me enjoy it, take advantage of it.
Please.
- What? - Nothing.
That girl is a character.
She says she's a woman now.
Let me tell you, working a bit won't hurt her.
Right.
I'm going out, too.
Me, too.
Sure, great, let's all go out! I forgot we were here to party.
Come on, eat.
We're leaving tonight.
I just made up my mind.
Once we're done eating, we'll take the car and leave for Madrid.
It's now clear to me that I'm alone.
It's all been, "You can't, you don't know, you're not capable, you won't make it.
" Okay, that's over now! We'll go see your father directly.
And we'll see what happens.
The hardest thing is seeing all of my mistakes together, one after another, especially regarding my children.
Keeping silent, sparing them the suffering, concealing everything.
Not asking them for help.
Thinking that my duty was to make life easier for you.
I was wrong.
We must tell children the truth, but we always forget that.
We also forget their lives will go on without us, that their lives will go on without me.
- Fuck.
Are we expecting someone? - Must be Paulina.
She was probably fired for being useless.
Open up! Courage awaits.
Open the door! Fear is coming after you.

I'm not hiding any information from you.
I think you are, Mr.
Guzmán.
I've been involved in several abduction cases, and, logically, I've been on the victims' side.
You do not match the profile of a person suffering for his family.
This has gotten out of hand.
I'm not doing that bad.
I wanted a car, and I got one.
And some money, too.
And a poor boy kidnapped.
We'll see if he's a "poor boy.
" He clearly has nothing to do with the other man.
Look, Mom, that poor boy, as you say, is a mercenary who does this for money.
Once he finds out he's been left behind He knows Alejandro would pay anything for information.
And he knows where to find him.
Besides, he knows we don't have papers and we can't leave the country.
How can you ask me to set him free? That boy might be the only one who can help you get out of this mess.
No.
Absolutely not.
I won't ever trust anyone again.
Can't you see you can't get out of this nightmare on your own? I'm not alone.
I've got all of you.
We're a burden rather than help.
Can't you just trust me even just a little? I'm trying, sweetheart.
You're not making it easy.
Welcome! Jeez.
The guy from the supermarket.
See? He's recognized you, and he won't be the only one.
Magda, please, get some help Mom, where's TobÃas? Isn't he coming down? He's making a call.
To celebrate, we'll be partying for 40 hours straight Look after the kids.
Don't let them talk to anyone.
I want everyone upstairs in an hour.
And don't let them go into the other apartment.
Here.
All right.
And now, a scene from a legendary period.
Record, share, and dance! Hey! Hey, Magda! Newlyweds? - Yes.
- Yes.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Excuse me, could you help me? - This man is harassing me.
- Me? Yes.
He says he knows me, but I don't know him at all.
Of course I know her.
She's Magda Escudero.
I'm not that person, I already told you.
Besides, I don't even know who that is.
She was a beauty queen.
Top model.
She was in all the gossip magazines until she married.
Me, all that? Yes, with a Mexican millionaire, yes.
I've never set foot in Mexico! The media has released news about her abduction today.
Do I look like an abducted person? Come on, please.
Really, he's starting to freak me out.
- Dude - No, no, no.
Stay out of this.
Hey, don't worry, I'll be very polite.
We're getting off here, and you're coming with us.
The lady will go on alone.
Just a minute.
I'm a journalist.
My name is Ariel Carnicero.
I work for Radio Benidorm.
I'm sure I have a card somewhere.
Out.
Out.
Fuck, come on.
Come on, she's lying.
Trust me, she's Magda Escudero.
Hi.
Hi.
The FreeTubers meeting will start in an hour.
We have a stand inside.
I've played since I was very little.
Since I was four.
Who wants to lose 50 euros? Nobody? Nobody wants to play against me? I do.
- You? - Yes, me.
Fifty euros.
I don't have any money.
Show your euros.
Fifty euros.
- Heads or tails? - Tails.
- Hello.
- Yes? - I need a small fav Hi.
- Hi.
I have a problem.
Just one? Thank God.
But it's a bit urgent and I'd like your help.
Me? Okay, let's see if I can guess.
I'll take my chances, okay? Okay.
You want something to drink, but you're broke.
That's it.
Right.
Then you don't have a problem, you've got two.
Why two? Thirst and thinking I'll buy you one just because you're hot.
- Mexican? - Yes.
Don't look around here.
You won't get anything.
Look, on a regular day, any of these freaks would give you blood if you asked them, but they're scatterbrained today.
Oh, yeah? We'll see about that.
Hey.
Have you ever worked in your life? Define "work.
" God! More, give me more.
No.
No, no, no.
Don't gag me.
I won't scream.
I won't scream.
Magda, before you tell me what the fuck you're doing, I need a shot of insulin, all right? Otherwise I'll go into a diabetic coma.
Okay? Look, the syringe is in that toiletry kit right there.
The brown one.
That one.
What's the PIN for your credit card? What? Your card's PIN.
Why do you want my credit card's PIN? I need money.
Where's Simón? Right now, he's leaving Spain with my three million.
What are you saying? That he conned me.
He's taken all my money.
I had to go steal with my family in order to eat, okay? No way! You don't know anything? If he's gone with your money, he's got mine, too.
Right.
He's taken the whole lot.
- Okay, where do I stick you? - No, no, no.
Don't move, don't move.
Untie me.
I'll stick myself.
No, I can't.
But I haven't done anything.
If I let you go, you'll go tell my husband.
Your husband? You'll tell him where you've hidden us.
- And why would I do that? - For money.
I'm not like Simón, okay? I don't know that.
I don't know you.
- Look, let me go, okay? Let me go.
- No.
No.
No, listen, listen.
Listen to me.
Let me go.
I'll go get him, get the money back.
You'll get yours.
I just want my cut.
I've had more than enough of trusting people.
Okay, then let me go to the toilet.
- I'm sorry, that's not possible.
- I gotta piss badly.
- Then pee.
- You're torturing me.
Yes, I know.
And I don't want to, trust me.
If you know that, then stop treating me like a fucking package and have some common sense! Shut up! Shut up.
Look, TobÃas let's be practical, okay? I won't release you until I get my family away from here.
And how will you release me if you're away? I'll leave a note for the janitor.
Great.
Then I'll go look for you and thank you.
I need money and papers.
And to get both, you need me.
You need me.
No, no, no.
You need me.
I know how to get those papers.
You don't know a thing! And I have your life in my hands.
Don't try to act tough.
You're not capable of it.
I'm not capable? Yes, you are capable.
You are.
What can I do to convince you to trust me? Nothing.
You can't do anything.
Give me your card's PIN in exchange for this.
I'm sorry, I need to clean the room.
No, there's no need.
I need to get in before 9:00 a.
m.
If I don't do it now I'd rather do it myself.
Thanks.
Please, miss, I need to clean it.
Otherwise, my supervisor will fire me.
But your supervisor doesn't need to know.
There's a form on the door.
It's cleanliness control.
They change it every week.
I need to sign it.
Okay.
Wait here a second.
Don't move, please.
Stay here.
Sign it.
Thank you.
Don't you want me to change the sheets, at least? If you have any food to throw away, please don't.
I'll take it.
I'm sorry, but I haven't any.
Why are you scared? I'm not scared.
Welcome to the other side of the counter.
These people are gross.
Here you go.
Here.
- Wow! - Sorry! Watch out with that cough.
What's your name? Pau, like Paulina.
You? Rayco, like Rayco.
Right.
It's Guanche, from the Canary Islands.
What are you doing tonight? I don't know.
Why? Care to serve drinks? It will be swarming with people tonight.
Will you pay me? Fifty euros.
And you keep your tips.
If you're nice, you could get another 50 euros, at least.
I'm not hitting on you, even if that's how it seems, okay? No, it doesn't seem that way.
Okay.
So, what do you say? Could you give me another one while I think about it? Thank you.
Thank you for being here during this difficult time in my life.
My name is Alejandro Guzmán.
My family was kidnapped two days ago.
To the kidnappers, I beg you, please release my family, safe and sound.
If you do, there will be no retaliation.
I will simply thank God for it and He'd have made a great leading man.
- What? - My son.
He has the makings of an actor.
- I guess he must have told you - Told me what? The kidnapping is a lie.
There's been no kidnapping.
That bitch has done all of this.
Magda.
This is her way of thanking him for 20 years of luxury.
Insignificant as it may seem, please contact me.
Pau, Claudia, Rubén I love you.
Wherever you are be assured that I will find you.
Thank you very much.
- I definitely don't buy it.
- What? Whatever he's selling, I don't buy it.
Should we keep an eye on him? Him, his lover, and his mother, all three of them.
Thank you.
Are you all right? Yes.
Just a bit angry.
Do you want some water? - Yes, please.
- Water.
- Thanks.
- Thanks.
I see you're still interested in me.
Perhaps because I love you.
I'd make love to you right this instant.
- Alejandro - Here and now.
Why did you tell them that if you know there's no kidnapping? Precisely.
If my children see this, the game's over.
Surely, Magda has brainwashed them, but this will make their stomachs turn.
And what are your plans for Magda? Magda's out of my life.
Never again.
I don't want her near me.
- Sir.
- What happened? Diego showed up, sir.
Diego? My colleague, Diego, he's finally appeared.
And where's he been since last Sunday? In the hospital.
I've been told he woke up from his coma this morning.
Diego.
Diego.
Diego.
Boss.
I'm alive.
Yes, you are.
That man, the one you followed from the racetrack, where did he go? I can't say.
He took a cab, I took another one.
We went down the avenue for about five kilometers.
He got out in front of a building.
Was the young man about my height, white skin, curly hair? Yes.
Yes, that's him.
Then they went into the building.
I went after them.
And there, I was caught off guard.
He knew how to fight.
He was a professional.
You're supposed to be a professional, too.
You're fired.
One, two, testing.
Yes, testing.
Are you ready, people? The time has come.
If no one objects, we're about to begin.
I need to get into the apartment.
Oh, I'm sorry.
There's someone inside.
THE NUMBER IS NOT CORREC YOU HAVE TWO MORE TRIES Look, man, we have a guest.
Are you sure this is your apartment? I'll show you something, okay? I won't be needing this.
Miss, if you need any help, we're worldwide experts in ATMs.
I just want to withdraw some cash.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
You should tell him.
Sorry, I didn't see the bottle.
Let me go, damn.
Hey, give me that! Give it to me! No! TobÃas Romano.
It's stolen.
You put the card inside here, then you turn it like this.
Twenty bucks.
Yes.
I'll pay you.
We should report you to the cops.
SELECT THE AMOUNT TO WITHDRAW THE AMOUNT REQUESTED EXCEEDS THE AUTHORIZED LIMI The die is cast.
Here, a souvenir.
So you don't forget this moment, okay? You're a very cute thief.
- You're gross, Raymond! - Let me go.
Hey, let me go! - You're gross.
- Let me go, I said! - Give me the 20 bucks.
- Let me go, let me go! Let me! The countdown begins.
Let me go! I said let me go or I'll break your head with this! MEXICO CITY - MADRID FLIGH Is that your daughter? Sorry, I couldn't help it.
My niece.
That's an impressive way to play.
I love tennis.
I've been following Nadal for a whole year around the world.
Nadal is great, huh? I love that man.
He's the best there is.
Some people prefer Federer, but I'm loyal to Nadal.
In fact, I have tickets for the New York Open.
You don't say! That's wonderful.
You're not Mexican, are you? Spanish? I was born in Tétouan.
My father's French and my mother's Spanish.
Will you be staying in Madrid? I don't know yet.
Do you know the city? Not much.
If you need a guide That's possible.
"To believe something's possible is to make it happen.
" That's a quote from Friedrich Hebbel, a German playwright who inspired Wagner to compose the "Nibelung.
" That's wonderful.
Hello.
I'm sorry, but we're closed now.
It's 10:00 p.
m.
We'll be opening again tomorrow at 10:00 a.
m.
This will only take a sec.
- Yes, but you can't come in.
- Mom, what are you doing here? - What about you? - I saw you coming in.
I called to make an appointment.
I'd like to talk to a specialist.
Okay, let's go.
Why don't you want us to seek advice on this? Because my situation is illegal, Mom.
You don't know that.
Of course I know.
Look, a lawyer's like a confessor.
You can tell him whatever you want.
He's sworn to secrecy.
- Isn't he? - Yes.
Mr.
De Juan will be here any moment and he'll clear this up.
- Just a minute.
Mr.
De Juan! - Let's go.
Please Look, Mr.
De Juan's already here.
He's here.
Come.
- Good evening.
- Hello.
I'm sorry for welcoming you without my jacket, but it's too hot and the air conditioning Amadeo De Juan.
- How can I be of service? - Pleased to meet you.
Well, what is this about? Is it related to an inheritance? - No.
- No, no.
It's My mother wanted to ask for advice, but it's too late now.
- We'll come back in the morning.
Come on.
- Wait, wait It's all fine.
We lawyers don't have a fixed schedule.
This is about a gender-based violence issue.
- Your husband? - No, no.
He's a very influential man with a lot of money.
He probably has a great lawyer.
The Spanish law against gender-based violence is very good.
Besides, it's the only subject in which all the political parties have managed to find an agreement.
I really thank you, but I'm not ready yet.
I'm sorry.
Mom, let's go.
Come on.
Let's go.
I know it's a delicate matter and I do understand.
- Right.
- But you must be brave and report him.
Yes, yes.
Come on.
- Thank you.
We appreciate it.
- Thank you.
Madam, excuse me.
Here's my card.
There's my cell phone and landline numbers.
Okay? - You can call me anytime.
- Very well.
At any hour, yes.
- Thank you.
- Any hour, yes.
You're welcome.
Bye.
- Good night.
- See you later.
Take care.
You've heard it.
If you report him for mistreatment, Spanish law will protect you.
Look, Mom, don't do anything else in my name.
Then what am I doing here? I don't want to hurt you or Edu.
You're exaggerating a bit.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Where are we supposed to be going now? - Here.
- A hairdresser? - Yes, we need papers.
- Papers, here? Come.
What are you doing here? - Something unexpected came up.
- Come in.
You've been on the news.
We shouldn't be seen together.
I need those documents now.
I'm sorry.
I only deal with Simón on this matter.
Simón can't take care of it.
Some family business came up and he can't.
Okay.
The other guy, then.
Look, I need to take my children away as soon as possible.
I told them I didn't want any trouble.
Where are the papers? Look, it's underway, but we won't have them for 24 hours.
What? No, I can't.
No, I need them now.
I'll see what I can do.
But the price goes up.
What do you mean? Well, I need to check with people.
I guess it'll mean 10,000 more.
All right, 10,000.
On top of the 50,000 we agreed on.
But Simón already paid that.
No, no way.
- He told me everything was settled.
- Nothing's settled.
Fifty thousand, plus the bonus for the rush.
All right.
Let's go, come on.
Rubén.
What are you doing here? - How did you get inside? - TobÃas, TobÃas.
Yeah.
He's in there, I know.
Did you do this to him? Yes.
Why? We don't know him, Rubén.
I fear he will trick us like the other guy did.
Understand? Mom, don't go in there.
- I want to see if he's okay.
- I'll deal with that.
You? Where will you get the money? - I don't know.
- Then how will you get those papers? I don't know! I need time to think! There's no time, Magda.
Everything's moving faster than you are.
Mom, I want us to let him go.
No, Rubén, no.
We come before anyone else.
Do you think he wants to hurt us? Tomorrow, at this time, we'll leave this place, and I'll set him free, I promise.
But not before.
Magda, how could you do this? On your own.
Why in such a hurry? We're having a good time for once.
- I stole a bag.
- What? Are you out of your mind? Do you want to get caught? I need makeup and stuff.
I'm going out tonight.
- What about your brother and sister? - There's Claudia.
- Claudia, we're going upstairs.
Upstairs.
- No, let me go.
I'll go up soon.
Where's Rubén? I don't know.
Upstairs! Pau, Claudia, Rubén, kids, I love you wherever you are.
Mike, I need to make a call.
Yes, but in private mode.
I don't want it to be traced.
Yes.
You can pay in bitcoins.
I'll invite you.
Thanks.
I stink because of you.
Did you get the money? Eat.
And papers? No papers.
The hairdresser asked you for money, didn't he? How much? Ten thousand? More? I don't want to eat, God damn it! I want you to untie me! What time do I need to stick you again? Think.
Think for a bit.
The insulin, when? You need me.
You won't get away without me.
Every time I've depended on a man, things have gone wrong.
Your situation is unsustainable.
You don't know anything at all.
You don't know anyone.
They'll take advantage of you.
They already are if they're asking for more.
Magda, we need to locate the old man and get the money back.
Without it, you can't set up a new life.
He's in Copenhagen.
I feared as much.
He's got a daughter there with a problem.
She's a drug addict.
Hello? Dad! Hi, Dad.
It's Claudia.
Claudia? We're okay.
We're not in danger.
Don't worry.
We're with Mom and I just wanted you to know.
Sweetie, where are you? I'm going to hang up, Dad.
No, listen to me.
I've had a terrible time.
I had a heart attack, I was hospitalized, and I almost died.
Dad, I - Is your mother there with you? - No! No, she can't know I'm calling you.
- Love, tell me where you are.
- I can't.
You think you're not in danger, but the truth is you are.
We've seen pictures of you with another woman.
In bed with another woman.
No, love, that's not true.
We've seen it, Dad.
Pictures can be modified.
- And you hit Mom, too.
- That's not true! You've hit her more than once.
I've seen it, I've heard it.
Listen to me.
You think you know, but you don't really know.
Couples have codes, agreements.
Every couple is different, love.
Mom needs time.
You have to make her forgive you, Dad.
Claudia, please, your mother is sick! Listen to me, she's been in therapy for a long time.
Because of you.
No, because of herself.
She hasn't accepted what happened to your brother.
- I'm hanging up.
- No, please, don't hang up.
She made a mistake and now your brother's deaf, understand? Bye, Dad.
Boss, the woman and that man haven't been seen in days.
I don't want Mom to know.
We won't tell her.
Do you think Dad might be right? That Mom isn't okay and all this is just, I don't know, a delusion of hers? Did you know Mom went to therapy? And you? Did you know? She's got that guy tied to the bed.
That doesn't speak too well of her.
I think it's a couple's thing.
- You take everything lightly.
- You take everything too seriously.
Because you didn't talk to Dad.
Mom's tired.
She wants to scare Dad to separate him from that bitch.
It's a strategy, and we're caught in the middle.
Then we must do something.
Why? To help, Paulina.
I'm not getting involved in this.
It's their problem.
You don't love anyone, right? I'm having fun.
I mean, not at first, but now I met a boy and I like him.
Besides, there are no bodyguards here and the party never ends.
I only hate these shitty clothes, but I'm off.
54 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE Pau, let's go.
Come upstairs.
I won't spend another night locked up.
We agreed we should all be together.
- Why? - For safety! Mom, I'll be serving drinks.
It's fun and I'll earn some money.
I want you upstairs with the others, now.
No, Mom.
This isn't Mexico, and I can take care of myself.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
Yesterday, you had a panic attack in the middle of the street.
Yesterday, I wasn't myself, and you had just said terrible things.
I know.
I'm sorry.
You and Dad have been scaring us our whole lives.
Fear helps us survive.
I don't want to survive anymore.
Let me live for once.
I'm a woman, just like you.
You brought me here.
At least let me enjoy it, take advantage of it.
Please.
- What? - Nothing.
That girl is a character.
She says she's a woman now.
Let me tell you, working a bit won't hurt her.
Right.
I'm going out, too.
Me, too.
Sure, great, let's all go out! I forgot we were here to party.
Come on, eat.
We're leaving tonight.
I just made up my mind.
Once we're done eating, we'll take the car and leave for Madrid.
It's now clear to me that I'm alone.
It's all been, "You can't, you don't know, you're not capable, you won't make it.
" Okay, that's over now! We'll go see your father directly.
And we'll see what happens.
The hardest thing is seeing all of my mistakes together, one after another, especially regarding my children.
Keeping silent, sparing them the suffering, concealing everything.
Not asking them for help.
Thinking that my duty was to make life easier for you.
I was wrong.
We must tell children the truth, but we always forget that.
We also forget their lives will go on without us, that their lives will go on without me.
- Fuck.
Are we expecting someone? - Must be Paulina.
She was probably fired for being useless.
Open up! Courage awaits.
Open the door! Fear is coming after you.
