NETFLIX PRESENTS
Some people claim to be Sergio's parents.
They say he was stolen.
Is my son going to die?
We are hopeful now.
He needs constant medical care.
-You have to make a decision. -What can we offer him?
We can give him love.
The minister said we're welcome any time.
Then you can be alone with Juan.
Hi, little sister. I did as you asked.
We raised the dose, but over 50% died.
The antibody levels are through the roof in the new blood tests.
She isn't at the camp.
Marta, the girl.
I know those kids.
From the medical center.
They took them.
They took some of us and put us on a bus.
We need to find the families.
Where did you get those posters? What do you know?
Those children might be alive.
Do you know one of them?
One of them was my son.
The fact we've gathered together entails great risk, and we know that.
But there's something stronger:
courage and hope that one day you can see your children again.
Our son, Fernando.
-Things are getting worse. -What could happen?
Madrid might be put in lockdown.
- It is forbidden... -Careful!
-She's sick, infected! -Halt! Halt!
Next stop, B1 zone.
Disgusting!
-Are you okay? -He threw up!
What...? Hey, watch out.
Please, stop the bus.
What's wrong?
A drunk man bothered a girl and fell down.
No!
What the hell? Stand up.
Fucking drunk...
-Who can help me lift him? -Are you okay?
Yes, but I have to go to work, I'm late.
Come, quickly.
Everybody stay put, nobody move.
He's dead.
Attention.
Yes, proceed.
Bus 15.
We've got a health emergency.
Okay, received.
Enabling biochemical identification protocol.
THE SHADOW ZONE
Stop, everybody step back. Keep your hands where I can see them.
Everybody still. This bus is under quarantine.
FEARLESSLY
BUILD THE FUTURE
REMEMBER THE RAIN
LAUGH
AGAINST THE WALL MEMORY
RIGHTS ARE SEIZED
THE BARRIER
I was at the meeting yesterday.
My name's Alicia.
Yes, your face looks familiar.
I'm Emilia.
I wanted to approach you, but I couldn't.
This is Mateo.
My son.
He's handsome.
For your safety, a mandatory medical check next Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
When was the last time you saw him?
It'll be three years in May.
He got very sick, so we took him to the hospital.
He was recovering, he was fine.
Fernando and I were so happy.
Then one day...
It was 6 a.m.
A nurse came in and said he had died.
But he isn't dead, I saw him.
He was alive.
It was a few days later.
Everyone was telling me I had to go out, that I had to live my life.
So, I went back to work,
especially since I was afraid of being fired.
I worked as a cleaner in official buildings.
That day, I was at the registry.
I was doing my job
when I heard footsteps...
and I saw a boy.
Mateo?
Mateo!
His back was to me, I didn't see his face.
But his hair...
I felt a knot in my throat.
I swear my heart stopped beating.
Not for a second or two, but for a long time.
Because I knew that was my son.
- I shouted... -Mateo!
I was going to knock down the door, I swear I was going to.
I shouted his name, but he didn't answer.
Then some police officers came and dragged me away.
No!
I tried to explain it.
To explain it to the police, to my friends,
to my husband,
but no one believed me.
No one.
What the hell?
Good morning, huh?
You're unbelievable, Iván.
It isn't me, Manuela, it's my genes.
My family have maxed out, it's all downhill from here.
Oh yeah?
You don't say.
I'm the opposite actually.
I can't get any lower,
so I hope a nice future lies ahead.
The one you don't have, apparently.
Are you trying to tell me something or is it my bender?
It's your bender.
Manuela!
You're gorgeous with your hair down.
Leave me alone, Iván. Seriously.
Sorry, I didn't know you were here.
-I came to change the towels. -Don't worry, it's no bother.
-Are you okay? -Yeah.
A drunk threw up on the bus.
You poor thing!
He passed out.
Even the police showed up, that's why I was late.
I see.
Are you okay?
-Sweetie, are you dizzy? -No.
Come, sit down.
Come, sit here.
Maybe your stomach is upset from what you saw.
-I don't know. -It's high time.
How was the registry?
Huh?
Weren't you at the registry?
Yeah, yeah. It was good.
-It's all in order. -Good.
Come on! Get moving, the house needs cleaning.
-Sure. -Here, Sara.
Go recycle this. Toss it in the glass bin.
Sure, Rosa.
See you later.
Oh!
Alicia...
Jesus. You really scared me, Fernando.
Where were you?
I just went for a walk.
What about you?
Were you following me?
Come on, get in the car. I'll take you home.
No.
I'm sorry, I won't do it.
Alicia... Please, not again, okay?
I can't go through this again, Alicia.
What if our son is alive?
Fernando, please...
We never-- we never saw his body.
We never saw it.
As long as there's a chance, I have to keep trying.
Please.
I'm sorry.
Dammit!
Good morning.
-Are you responsible for this? -I see nothing wrong.
-We're looking for their parents. -What for?
You know those kids died, right?
-So they say. -Look, shut up.
Those parents have moved on.
The last thing they need is someone giving them false hopes.
I won't tolerate anything else.
I want you to leave them alone, you hear me?
-Did you hear me? -Loud and clear.
What was his name?
Pardon?
Your son. What was his name?
For fuck's sake, drop it or I swear...
You have no fucking idea what my wife has been through.
She lost it all.
They stuffed her with pills, she was never the same.
But she's calmer now, so don't fuck with me.
Maybe she learned to be quiet, which is different.
One of the kids has turned up.
He's alive.
Emilia?
My son is dead, you hear me?
And if you continue with this bullshit, I'll lock you up until you rot.
You.
I've been seeing you a lot lately.
I'd watch out.
What happened?
His son is one of the missing kids.
Holy shit.
Good morning.
Hello.
I didn't come to see you today.
Oh, that's a pity.
Is everything alright?
Your family?
Everything's fine. Thanks.
I'm so glad.
Commander!
What a nice surprise.
Can we talk?
Sure. Let's go to the office.
-Sara. -Yes?
Bring us some coffee, please.
Sure.
There was a very serious incident this morning.
I thought it was my duty to come to inform you personally.
-We're grateful for that. -Go on.
We don't want to raise the alarm and we hope it's just an isolated case.
Get to the point, commander.
A noravirus case was confirmed half an hour ago in sector 1.
A man traveling on one of the staff buses.
What happened?
He threw up and passed out.
He died instantly.
-Have the tests been performed? -Yes, there's no doubt.
-And it's a very aggressive strain. -That's horrible!
How could he get past the medical check at the fence?
Who's responsible? Who's to blame?
We're looking into it.
So far, we've isolated the microbus passengers
except for two people who ran away.
A man and possibly a woman.
I don't have their descriptions yet.
Are you saying there are at least two virus carriers in this sector?
We'll find them, I promise.
Hold on.
What time did you arrive this morning?
They saw the two people running in this direction.
Answer, Sara, please.
Yes. I arrived at half past seven, just like every day.
-Before breakfast. -And the rest of the staff?
Well, Hugo came with me. Rosa and Manuela sleep here.
-They're residents. -That's right.
Thanks, Sara. You can leave.
We have to define the protocol immediately.
Manuela...
Yes?
The incident on the bus was noravirus.
What?
I just heard the commander say so.
No, no. That can't be true...
It can't be true.
Relax. Nothing is going to happen to you.
He died in front of me, Sara. He died.
Manuela, if you were infected, you'd have red spots all over your body.
You have none, sweetie. You're fine.
Let me see your arm.
It isn't that easy to catch it.
He threw up on me, Sara.
-I have to tell the lady. -You won't tell anyone.
You hear me?
What if I'm infected?
The virus can only be passed through fluids.
Honestly, relax.
Let me see.
Do you know this boy, my dear? Look at him closely.
He looks a lot like one,
but... he was skinnier and... his hair was shorter.
-Was his name Mateo? -No.
His name was Pedro.
He looks a lot like him, his eyes,
his serious expression.
Yes, he looks like him.
Well, it could be the same boy, but older.
But his name wasn't Mateo.
They might have changed his name, right?
I'll get the door.
-Emilia. -Yes?
Have you heard the news?
What?
The people who were here the other day.
-Yes. -That married couple.
-Yes, yes. What is it? -They've been killed.
What are you talking about, Begoña?
Yes.
They found them in the street yesterday, dead.
But what happened?
That's what I'm wondering, Emilia. What happened?
What kind of people come to your home?
They were good people, Begoña.
-I don't know what might... -Good people don't get in trouble.
If I were you, I'd choose my friends more wisely.
Because I can't turn a blind eye anymore.
Álex,
I need to use the payphone. I'll be back soon, Marta.
Got it, Emilia. Thanks.
I hope this is the last time you take a personal phone call here.
Where do you think you're going?
-Button. -"Buttoun."
-"Buttoun"! -No!
What do you mean no? What do you mean no?
-Don't correct me all the time. -Sara.
-Yes? -Sara, sorry.
-Can you come out for a second? -Yes.
I'll be right there. Okay, put this on.
Hi, Hugo!
Hi, Sergio.
That's it, good boy.
I'll be right back, okay?
What's the matter?
Sergio's parents were found dead.
-What? -Yesterday.
I can't believe it!
Poor thing.
I hope it's long before he finds out the truth.
-This is no coincidence, Hugo. -I know.
It can't be, I'm sure they were killed.
I know, I do.
-What about my cardigan? -Yes, sweetie, put it on.
I can't do the buttons.
I'll help you, don't worry.
They'll be buried this afternoon.
I want to go by and talk to his grandfather.
-I'll go with you. -No, stay here.
It's for the best. Stay with the boy.
Do you think it's our fault?
Do you think they were killed so that they can't get their son back?
I don't know.
-Be careful, Hugo. You hear me? -Yes.
Sara!
Coming, dear! Coming.
Hey, you put it on yourself!
Come here, come.
You're a champ.
You did really well.
Give me a hug.
-Let us see the boy. -Sit down, please.
-Take it easy. -Let us see him.
We won't tell him anything, we lost him six years ago.
They told us he had died.
You could end up in jail or worse. You have to trust me.
Relax, this is just the beginning, okay?
What was my mom like?
You have to trust me.
Hugo.
You have to trust me.
Hugo!
Yes. Sorry.
I need you to go get some things. Go to the kitchen, I'll give you a list.
Sorry, Rosa, I'm not working today.
-I'm going to take a day off. -You're going to take a day off?
Just have the minister subtract it from your vacation.
Now that I think about it, you don't have vacation either.
The only thing you have is a job anyone would want.
You can quit or hang yourself, but there are no days off.
-So go to the kitchen. -I'm serious, Rosa.
I'm leaving right now.
Do as you like. I'm not your mother.
Sir...
I need to talk to you.
Alone.
I'm so fed up. I can't take it anymore.
Would you like more coffee?
You know what I want.
Don't you dare.
When did it happen?
Yesterday.
Where?
In the street, sir.
I took them home.
We were talking the whole way. They were...
They were happy.
They had finally hugged their son again.
Has anyone been arrested?
No, sir. Of course not.
I want to take the afternoon off.
I want to be at the burial. I feel I must.
Yes, yes, of course. Anything you need.
Thank you, sir.
Hugo.
I'm coming with you.
I don't think that's a good idea.
It's at the Sector 2 municipal cemetery.
I said I'm coming.
Get the car out and wait for me outside.
I have to go. I'm sorry.
Where?
Where are you going?
As for the incident,
take the necessary measures for health safety.
If there's a problem, call me.
Thanks a lot, commander. Keep me informed.
He's so strange...
He doesn't tell me what's on his mind anymore.
He avoids me.
He's changed.
I feel he doesn't love me, at least not the way he used to.
-And do you love him? -No. Yes. I don't know...
We have so much in common.
Although lately there are many things that drive us apart.
I shouldn't discuss it with you. It's not the time or the place.
Sorry, I'm just a bit overwhelmed.
Don't worry.
I demand new checkpoints at the fence.
And I need samples from the body.
-You took him away, right? -Yes, he's been dealt with.
I need to go by my office, can you take me?
-We'll talk in the car. -No, Alma. Alma.
-I need to ask you something. -What is it?
I'd rather you didn't go out.
Deal with anything urgent over the phone.
Just one day, until we find the carriers.
Don't look at me like that.
I'm worried about you. I can't help it.
Alma, will you do as I say?
I love when you worry about me. You have no idea how much.
For your safety, respect your turn to access...
Alicia...
Easy, Emilia sent us.
She wants to meet at the same place this afternoon.
Thanks a lot.
What you're doing is very important, very important.
Thanks a lot.
Well, somebody had to do it, right?
You're both good-looking.
-You make a great couple. -We do, right?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Goodbye.
Shall we?
Let's go.
DO YOU KNOW THEM?
You know, when I first got to Madrid, I hated this city.
I thought we had made the worst decision ever.
I wanted to go back to Asturias.
You don't anymore?
No way, now I'm happy I came.
Why?
Well, we're doing something big, aren't we?
For your safety, have your safeguards
and identification visible and at the disposal of the police force.
What are you doing?
Don't move.
I'm back in the world of the living.
I don't want to talk right now, okay?
Aw, Manuela, don't be mad.
I'm not mad, I'm working.
See? You're mad.
Yesterday was a friend's birthday. I couldn't miss it, could I?
Iván, you're old enough to do whatever you want with your life.
Are you jealous?
Come on, Manuela.
Next time, I'll bring you out. What do you say?
Look...
What's her problem?
I'm here to work, not to mind other people's business.
Iván...
Leave the girl alone, stop hassling her.
I want to know what's wrong.
She's scared to death.
Scared of what?
She's pregnant, Iván.
Pardon?
She didn't tell me,
but at a certain age, you can see it clear as day.
What did you think would happen?
You're old enough to realize life isn't a game.
You can't just run away from everything.
You can't fool me.
I've known you forever.
Sorry.
It's fine.
I didn't know you liked soccer.
At your age, I was the best in my class.
You were?
Then you could teach me how to shoot.
How to shoot?
And dribble and score too.
What you say?
Help!
Luis! Alma!
You've got to help us!
-What do you need? -Let us in, please.
-Step back. -Alma, let us in, please.
-What's the matter, Isabel? -They came for us.
Our gardener was on the bus this morning. They want to take us all!
Get back. Get back. They could be infected.
Take it easy, Isabel, it's just a safety protocol.
I'm sure you'll spend a day or two under observation, that's all.
-I'll be in charge, relax. -Laura!
Sergio, no! Sergio, no!
You can't get close, they could be sick. Come here!
-Come here! -Alma!
Sergio, come here.
Alma, please, you're a mother too.
Take the girl at least. Please, I beg you, we're friends.
You know I can't do that, Isabel.
-Alma, please. -I want Laura to come in!
-Halt, police. -Stop!
Halt!
Come on. Iván, you too.
Come on.
Stop!
We need to talk.
Stop!
Get in the van!
-Hands where I can see them. -Please, don't hurt us.
-Come on!
-Come on. -Where are you taking us?
Come on.
Manuela!
Manuela, stop.
Where are they taking them? What'll they do to them?
You have to calm down, please. Calm down.
Leave me alone, Sara! Don't come near me!
Manuela, open the door.
-They're going to hear us, please. -Go away!
Commander!
What is it?
I don't know if you've heard, a couple was shot yesterday afternoon
in the street.
Yes, I heard something.
Shouldn't we look into it?
Navarro, we've got much more serious problems in this country
than a petty theft in Sector 2.
-Don't we? -And if it wasn't theft?
Pardon me?
I checked and the family's information is classified.
Isn't that weird?
With all due respect, commander,
I think they were murdered and it was disguised as theft.
These people had nothing.
What's there to steal?
Navarro, you know I highly value your professionalism, right?
Yes.
But your job doesn't entail investigating on your own.
Not even thinking on your own,
but rather doing as I say.
Don't forget that again.
I won't, sir.
Leave me alone, Sara.
I won't leave you. Please, open the door.
You can't stay locked in there. Open the door, Manuela.
Manuela is in there?
Manuela, open the door!
-Manuela, open up! -Iván, please, they'll hear you.
Let them hear me! Manuela, open up, please.
I know you're pregnant.
I want to talk to you.
-Don't come near me! -Relax.
Stay where you are!
Don't move! If you have something to say, say it from there.
Okay, I won't move, I'll stay here. But let me say something.
I'm well aware that it's your decision...
and only you know what you want to do.
I understand you want to stay away from me.
I want to stay away from me most of the time too.
But before you make a decision,
I want to tell you something I haven't yet
because I was asleep, or drunk,
or panicking and making a fool of myself.
I want to tell you...
you're the only thing I care about in this house.
I haven't spent much time outside, but I suspect
you're one of the few things that matter in life.
And I can't believe how lucky I was to meet you.
Lucky for me, because it's totally sucked for you.
-No, Iván. -Yes, it's sucked.
But if you want to,
if you want to have that baby,
you should know I do too
and I'll do all I can for this to work.
I don't know how yet, but I'm telling you I will.
So, trust me just a little bit,
let's do this,
come what may.
Where are you and I going to go?
I was on the bus, Iván.
Next to the dead man.
It was me.
They're looking for me.
No...
Calm down. Everything will be fine.
I'll be by your side.
Iván...
Wait here. I'm going to fix this.
There's no more time, Alejo.
Things are getting worse. The virus crossed the fence.
So what do we do?
Assign the kids. Decide what family they'll stay with.
What about that girl we talked about? It was Marta, right?
We'll talk later.
Come in, honey.
-What's the matter? -I need your help.
Come to mommy.
You can tell me anything, you know that.
Tell me.
It's Manuela, Mom.
She's pregnant.
And she's sick.
She was on the bus.
You have to help her. There's a vaccine, right?
Give her it, even if it may not work. We need to try and help her or I'll die.
I know you didn't want this
and I always fuck things up, but I promise I love her.
I really do, and I honestly think that being with her
is the first thing I can do right in my life.
Sara...
Mom, are you mad?
At you?
It's impossible to be mad at you, honey.
Where is she?
Downstairs, in the bathroom.
You stay here.
Wait until I come back, okay?
You'll help her, right?
I'll do what's best for her.
And for you.
No, Mom! Mom...
Wait, Mom!
Please, wait!
Please, Mom. Don't call, they'll kill her.
Enough!
Mom!
Mom, please.
Rai.
Ma'am.
Open the door.
Where is she?
Where has she gone?
Find her!
Search the house for Manuela! Find her, now!
Do you know where the car keys are?
-Rosa! -Where are you?
Did you find her?
No, ma'am!
There's no one here.
But I heard noise upstairs. I'll go and check!
Come on, quickly.
Go.
Take care of her. Good luck.
-Sara, I... -It's alright. Hurry.
Thanks.
Good luck.
We are very sorry, sir.
We are here for anything you need.
I told my son and his wife...
not to go and talk to you.
People like you can't do the right thing.
They didn't listen to me... and they trusted you.
Look at them now.
Look how they ended up.
I give you my word that I'll do all I can
to get to the bottom of this.
It's too late now.
Would you like us to take you somewhere?
No. That won't be necessary.
I insist.
Please.
I would never get in that car.
And those aren't this country's flag.
They had nothing.
And now he has no one.
No, he does.
He has his grandson.
Come with me, Luis.
Come.
This is my granddaughter, Marta.
She's ten
and she's here to tell you something.
I'm glad you came, Alicia.
It wasn't easy, was it?
Well, you're all very brave.
Alicia, like the rest of you, was told her son was dead.
I asked her to give me a photo of Mateo, her son,
to show it to Marta.
I know a boy who looks like the one in the photo.
And he looks very serious.
In this place, we were all
a bit afraid.
Because we were alone...
and it was a very big place
and there were many guards.
They all had guns.
But good things happened too.
They gave us yogurt for a snack
and we became friends.
My best friend's name was Felipe.
He was funny
and had big ears that stuck out.
But...
I don't know if Felipe is okay.
Sometimes the injections made us sick.
What injections?
What did they do?
How do we know they didn't hurt them?
We don't. But let her finish.
And my dad found me.
Dad, sorry I didn't tell you.
And he promised to come back for me.
But...
that night, they took us away.
Not all of us, just a few of us
on a bus.
The boy who looks like Mateo was there,
and my friend Ana,
a very tall girl that told me her dad called her froggy.
That's Ana. That's Ana.
But I don't know where they are now.
Then let's find them.
Honey, do you remember...?
We'll find them.
Let's get organized.
Let's get organized, we'll find them.
We need to believe.
Hold on.
Another person wants to talk. I'm sure he can help us.
Why's he here? He'll kill me.
Don't worry, I can say I dragged you here.
I'm serious.
You're a great lawyer and you're helping us.
I...
I'm the Minister of Health for this government.
And this matter is close to me because...
one of those kids is in my home.
Until very recently,
I was sure the boy didn't have parents.
I'm so sorry.
My daughter is here, Daniela.
Hi, sweetie.
She must be as scared as I am.
I want to thank you...
for always being in the right place.
I promise you'll have me by your side,
you can always count on me.
I don't know how yet.
I don't know where to begin to find your children,
to do justice
and prevent an atrocity like this from ever happening again.
But I swear I will.
I know...
there's nothing worse than losing a child.
Do you know where your son is?
This is dangerous. For you and for all of us.
I'll test Sergio's blood, I'll get to the bottom of this.
-Do whatever you want. -I saw my child's body.
Can you really say this is not your son?
I'm sick, I can pass it on to you.
No, we can't get sick.
-Want to tell me anything? -Nothing happened.
You'll fall in love again one day.
I want the 20 most efficient and loyal men and I want them now, understood?
Understood, sir.
Why don't we meet one day, get drunk and see what happens?
We'll find your son, I promise.
-What's wrong? -He has the virus.
Come here.
If my son dies, I'll kill myself.
Where the hell is she?
You're the only father who can help me find them.
