The Alibi

1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES You still want to go outside? Eh? There's no way back from that.
Who convinced you? Eh? It wasn't your brother.
It was her.
She did it.
With that ass, she would have convinced me too.
[TIRES SCREECH OUTSIDE.]
[POLICE SIRENS.]
You stay here.
[LOUD EXPLOSION.]
- [OFFICER 1.]
Go, go, go! - [OFFICER 2.]
Come on! Hurry! - [OFFICER 1.]
Come on, come on! - [OFFICER 2.]
Out! Move, move, move! [GUN SHOTS.]
[OFFICER 3.]
Go, go, go! [GUN SHOTS.]
[GUN SHOTS.]
[POLICE SIRENS.]
You have to tell the truth, you didn't do anything.
- [MANITO.]
Traitor.
- [TEO.]
I'll get you out.
[DA RAMOS.]
Hey.
- You shouldn't be here.
- Why are they taking him? It's for his own sake.
It's procedure.
They almost killed him, they treat him like a criminal.
Your brother's fine.
If I hadn't come, Lorenzo would have.
- I'm protecting him.
- You have to protect him like a witness.
- I shouldn't be here talking to you.
- Don't fuck with me.
And don't fuck with my brother.
[DA RAMOS.]
I would like many things.
You hardly can help me quit smoking, for instance.
But there's one thing you can do to help me, and yourself too.
Tell me what I want to hear.
Who started the fire? It seems you're playing dumb, but you're not guilty.
It looks like you chose to play dumb.
But you can be dumb and free.
Understand? Free.
Think about what you're going to say.
Did you see Aníbal that night in the factory? What was he doing? He brought the fabrics in.
- That's not good eno - He got his hands on the switchboard.
But I didn't see what he did.
But you saw him there? Yes.
I saw him.
That's all.
The phases are all balanced.
I put in a 380 switchboard.
All top class.
[MARITA.]
What's happening? Why are you taking him? Aníbal, stay here! Someone talk to me! Where are you taking him? My son is not a murderer! My son didn't do anything! Aníbal! Aníbal! [CAR ACCELERATES.]
- Are you alone? - Yes, what is it? I want to talk to you, but for real this time.
The night your mother died, you shouldn't have been in this house.
- You were at a friend's.
- Right.
You came back.
[EDHA.]
Yes, I came back, I forgot a handbook.
A notebook.
My friend's father gave me a ride.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
I had stayed, working late.
Ironing some shirts.
Your dad was very strict with that, especially with the cuffs.
[MARITA.]
That's when I saw you.
You were running, horrified.
[YOUNG EDHA GASPS.]
You lied, you told me you weren't there.
- Yes, I lied to you.
- Why? To protect Lorenzo, and to protect you.
I approached the door I never imagined what I would find.
The three of them were there your mother, Odette, and Lorenzo.
At first, I was puzzled by Inés's expression because she seemed to be enjoying it and Lorenzo and Odette were getting more and more turned on.
[PANTING.]
At one point, Inés's expression started to change.
Lorenzo was squeezing her throat, hard, and Odette kissed her.
They didn't speak to me.
It wasn't necessary, everything was clear.
They agreed on the suicide.
Lorenzo covered his back and Odette helped him.
Actually, she supported the idea of your father's trip, especially in front of you.
I told them you were back, Odette went to your room and you were asleep.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[EDHA.]
I wasn't asleep.
I was very scared.
[MARITA.]
Then Odette dressed her with a gown, and Lorenzo, desperate, placed pills and cocaine next to the body.
He asked me to pack a suitcase to fake the trip.
[MARITA.]
I wanted a family.
And Lorenzo, in his way and in exchange for my silence, gave it to me.
[ODETTE.]
Hello.
I was his true alibi.
And my son, of course.
Sometimes, in our desperation to feel loved, we can do anything.
He killed her.
Everyone lied to me.
The whole time.
Yes, but now we'll tell the truth.
I don't care about the consequences.
They're coming for my son.
He's the only thing I have.
The only good thing in my life.
Aníbal is innocent, he's no criminal.
He didn't set fire to any factory.
He's in prison, unfairly.
If he'd wanted to hurt you, he would've done a long time ago.
He was seen, there are witnesses.
I also witnessed a crime, and look where the people responsible are.
Your mother's death shows how the truth can be twisted.
I can't think anymore.
Think with your heart.
After all, Aníbal is your brother.
I need your help, please.
You can come in.
Teo Teo! [CELL DOOR OPENS.]
I tried to help you, brother.
Here you need a deal to get anything.
Ollanta was about to sell you out.
And you? What about me? Where do I fit in your plans? I thought you were dead and you were playing hide and seek with that bastard.
It's not my fault.
You played your own game, as always.
You didn't want to work at the factory.
You fucked me over to get Celia.
The thing with Celia was real.
It wasn't a delusion like it was with you.
And it's over.
We both did what we could after your death.
Now you're alive.
Celia and I will get you out of here, Manito.
Don't you see I've already testified against Aníbal? And nothing happened.
And I'm still in jail.
Where's my new life? They're all the fucking same.
Even you believed their bullshit.
Guard! There's someone here who's leaving.
[CELL DOOR OPENS.]
Get out.
OK.
[MANITO.]
I'd rather rot here in jail than ever see you again.
Go shake your ass with the rich people.
Leave me alone.
Leave me in peace.
I'll get you out of here.
He's not well.
- Let's go.
We have nothing to do here.
- You don't.
I do.
Look, I came with you.
There's many people waiting for me.
- I wish you luck.
- You're leaving already? If he's innocent, Pereyra Ramos will get him out.
My brother's going to prison, we don't know if he did it.
- If he's innocent, he'll get out.
- The foreman will testify against him.
That drunk hasn't got the authority to blame anyone.
If anyone had any responsibility over that factory, it was him.
Thank you.
And sorry.
So many years trusting Lorenzo It's fine.
You trust who you love.
He's your dad.
I trust you.
- I want to apologize for all I said.
- We're here.
Yes.
Antonio, I want a change.
We have to move towards Milan.
You can't stop now.
Milan is far.
I can't even think about that now.
I can.
That's why I'm here.
You don't care that your son is in jail.
You don't know what I'm doing to get him out.
The only thing you care about is you, you, you.
Nothing else.
[LORENZO SIGHS.]
I know things, Lorenzo.
Don't forget that.
Stop threatening me with something so delicate.
Your wife's death is a delicate issue, isn't it? - Shut up, you're fucking deranged.
- Yeah, I may be deranged but I want your son free.
Aníbal is not a criminal.
[LORENZO SIGHS.]
Get him out, or I'll ruin you.
You're such a bad person.
You're ungrateful.
I should have realized a long time ago.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of the lies, I'm tired of the humiliation.
Are you feeling so humiliated now? Do you remember what you did for work? Where you lived? I gave you everything.
- Even a son.
- No.
You gave me an alibi.
For you, so you didn't go to prison for Inés's murder.
Don't threaten me.
I'm not scared of you.
Either do something for your son or your life becomes a living hell.
I swear.
My brother's still in jail.
What are you talking about? The factory.
My brother's in jail, it wasn't him.
- Florencia, would you leave us, please? - Yes.
And who did it, according to you? Your brother was responsible, the foreman.
And he hid after the fire.
- Why did he run if he's innocent? - You know.
I don't! Tell me.
No one believes a colored immigrant, least of all if he's poor.
We're guilty before we're born.
You don't seduce me with your self-pity.
No? What did you hire me for? To sell this shit? Sell misery? You're not the only one suffering.
Aníbal is my brother and he's as real as yours.
There's no evidence against him.
- Manito saw him.
- Your brother is a wimp.
He faked his death, he was responsible for that factory.
- You never doubted him? - Don't talk about my brother like that! Are you going to hit me? You never doubted him? Aníbal did it.
It's easy to throw blame around.
We have no idea what the truth is.
I don't trust anyone anymore.
Antonio will tell you how to finish the fitting.
Good afternoon.
[MACHINE BEEPS.]
[MACHINE BEEPS.]
[MUTTERS.]
- Look, it's not work - Yes? Can you give me another? Perfect.
Yes, I'll pass the message along.
Thank you.
- Look, it's not working.
Give me another.
- No, it's not the card.
I'll have to keep it.
The Director asked you to call him, to arrange a meeting for next week.
Next week? I have patients waiting for me right now.
They were assigned to another professional.
You've been suspended.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Elena, get in the car, please.
Hi! What's up? How are you? We never spoke, you and me.
I thought this would be an excellent opportunity.
I want to congratulate you for having such a good reputation.
From your female students, right? And it's exponential, the younger they are, the more they admire you.
They say great things, they love you so much, they put you on a pedestal.
Not all of them, there's always an exception.
Not everyone says good things, all the time.
I don't know what they told you, but it's a lie.
I What I don't know is what you're doing with my daughter, you piece of shit.
[CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
Girls, the big day's here, the fashion show.
Please, please, you have to do it right.
The weight shift.
OK? I'll show you one more time.
Pay attention.
We're walking.
When we get to the end, that's when you shift your weight.
Let your ass be seen.
Let yourself be seen, gorgeous.
That's what a model does.
My God Do you know how to shift your weight? Don't fuck with me, Yastin.
This is stupid.
Paloma will save us.
Italy, baby.
Italy.
- You're still worried about Teo, right? - It's Manito I'm worried about.
That loser? - Who are they? - Capitalists.
People with money.
We can't depend on that rich bitch Paloma.
We have to expand our business.
[YASTIN.]
How are you, bro? Good? [YASTIN.]
Shall we? [TEO.]
I saw my brother.
I'm glad your brother is alive.
He said you were in the factory that night.
Yes.
What happened that night? Why don't you ask your brother? He was the foreman.
I want your version.
Your brother was so drunk that night he was a danger, to himself and others.
I sent him home.
He wouldn't leave.
He didn't listen.
I dropped everything and left.
That's my version.
- So, it was an accident? - No.
That place was a time bomb, it ended up accordingly.
And Ronnie? - What about Ronnie? - Ronnie worked for Edha, right? And it didn't end well.
Teo, I'll give you some advice.
Milan is so close you have to decide if you're in or out.
You can't be in two places at once.
[CLOTH RIPS.]
You're in the past or in the future.
You look forward or back.
Because if you look back you disappear.
Like the ashes from the factory.
Hmm? It's your call.
[RONNIE.]
They screwed him over.
He went to the sweatshop once.
Lorenzo forced him to go.
They screw everyone.
Me too.
They fired me.
I took them to court, won but Lorenzo found a way to make me return every dime.
[RONNIE.]
Why are you here? - I wanted to see you.
- What is it? Edha and Antonio.
I think they want to fuck us over.
With what? You don't trust them.
I don't either.
- I do trust Antonio.
- I'm not just talking about him.
The people who want to screw you.
Let's talk someplace else.
Come on.
[RONNIE.]
Come in.
Can I get you a drink? Antonio is covering for you.
I know it was you.
You set the factory on fire.
What are you saying? You hate Lorenzo and Edha because they fired you.
They used you.
Like they use everybody.
If you don't talk, my brother rots in prison because of you.
I know you did it.
[EDHA.]
Inés never abandoned me.
Now I know.
She was killed.
I feel a new, different kind of pain that doesn't paralyze me.
A pain that urges me forward.
[GASPING.]
[GASPING.]
[BREATHES HEAVILY.]
[LORENZO SIGHS.]
You were too young.
There was nothing to explain.
One thing is not explaining and another is lying and hiding the fact that you killed her.
No, I didn't kill Inés.
I'd be in prison for that.
[SHE SCOFFS.]
Sometimes you look for the right time to tell then time passes and that moment never comes.
When it does come, you ask yourself if telling is still worth it.
I had to choose, darling.
The truth or happiness.
Your happiness.
Am I a criminal for that? Reliving the past is going to hurt you much more than me.
- So I don't advise it.
- What is your advice? - To keep living this lie? - No.
To pretend nothing happened? [LORENZO SIGHS.]
But we can start over.
We've done it countless times! We went through many hardships together.
Nothing we went through compares with this.
Don't even try it.
You're not taking models, you're taking mules.
This is design.
You never saw anything as elaborated as this.
Don't try to lower my price by calling me "mule.
" That's from a cheap, third-rate magazine.
You know if one splits inside you, you're a goner? The coke gets in the blood and kills you.
They don't rupture.
Fuck off.
"Technology.
" You ever hear about that? You're sick if you think I'll swallow one of these.
Not you, Celia.
You're my partner.
These brown chicks will carry them.
Wash those big ears and listen.
It's easy.
They drink a glass of water.
[YASTIN.]
It's all they have to do.
The next day if I'm lucky, because these have slow bowels they give daddy his stuff back.
- Beautiful! - Sophisticated.
Not like those niggers selling "oxi" in the corners like owls.
No, love.
My thing is "design.
" I'm not made for that.
[JULIÁN SIGHS.]
Thank you.
Feeling better? [JULIÁN SIGHS.]
A little.
It was a kiss, nothing else.
She acted suggestively and I made a mistake, I swear that's all that happened.
That's not what Elena said.
Elena is 16.
What do you want a 16-year-old to say? Eh? I would be incapable of doing that.
Incapable.
[SNIFFS.]
You should've talked to me before going to Edha, I would've explained what happened.
- What's he doing here? - I had an accident, I'm fine.
Your father was beaten and threatened.
He came to speak with me, please go to your room.
You'll listen to him? I just did.
He's in a very delicate situation.
In fact, we all are.
You included.
I'll tell you what will happen.
You'll lie to each other for 10 years.
And when you're celebrating the golden wedding, or platinum, or whatever, he'll keep lying to you, Mom.
You'll play dumb, because that's what you are.
You're right.
I am dumb.
But you two are my family.
No, no longer a family.
You're insane.
You're not going to screw up my life.
[FOOTSTEPS MOVE AWAY.]
Forget it.
Let's get the fuck away.
We'll disappear for a few days, deluxe.
I love you.
Where? To paradise.
I made all the arrangements already.
- Tell Elena.
- Elena's here with me.
- She wasn't feeling well.
- OK, I'm on my way.

No doubt, they can fly! - [EDHA.]
What is it? - [JÁUREGUI.]
Elena should've been here.
- I thought she was with you.
- I thought you were with her.
This is how you take care of your daughter? I called 20 times.
She didn't go to school.
Where is she? [MOTORBOAT PASSES BY OUTSIDE.]
