[theme music playing]
[police radio signal]
No, you can't go in.
[cigarette lighter clicks]
-[fist thuds] -[Kimmy cries out, moaning]
[fist thuds]
[Teo] Where are Emma and Aníbal?
[Kimmy sobbing] I don't know. I don't know. I swear.
[Teo grunts]
[Kimmy cries out]
[Kimmy coughing]
[taunts] Kimmy, Kimmy, Kimmy.
-Don't make me hurt you even more. -I don't know where they are.
-Think harder. -[cries out]
Or when I'm done, no one will want to fuck you.
I swear I--
For the last time, where are Emma and Aníbal?
[sobbing] I don't know.
[whimpering]
-Tell me where and I get you a doctor. -I don't know. I swear.
If I knew, I would tell you.
Or maybe you would protect him
for fear of what he might do to you.
No.
Or you're protecting her.
No.
[metallic click]
I don't enjoy doing this.
But I need to get those tapes.
[Kimmy] No, don't, please!
-One… -Please don't do it!
-Two… -No!
-Three. -[agonized scream]
[blood spatters]
[exhales]
[whimpering]
[agonized scream]
[Kimmy] Your name is Martina Díaz.
But you were named "Kimmy Dale" so long ago
that Martina forgot what kind of life she wanted to live.
["Beaten Down" by Sharon Van Etten playing]
[Kimmy] Maybe you wanted to be a dancer.
Another kind of dancer.
You arrived from Buenos Aires full of dreams,
that don't pay the rent.
But you weren't going to follow any rules that weren't your own.
You weren't gonna give up your dignity.
You're shit at your job! Ssh!
-[Kimmy] Even if it hurt you. -Listen to me, bitch!
[sniffs, exhales]
[Kimmy] You started to numb the pain any way you could.
Until Candance arrived,
and reminded you of the person you forgot you wanted to be.
You're afraid that just like you, she'll also forget who she wants to be.
And her first time in hell hurts you as much as your own.
You'll be strong again for her.
-[crying out] -It's okay.
[Kimmy] And you share your best moments together.
[indistinct cooing]
And the worst ones too.
You want to keep her safe from this brutality with all of your soul.
-[Olivia screams] Kimmy! -[Kimmy coughing]
But you fail.
Hello, Kimmy. This is Emma.
We're aborting the plan. Everything went wrong.
[Kimmy] The future you wanted to give her dies,
and you do nothing to prevent that.
-[yells] -[glass shatters]
[desolate cry]
And the guilt
of failing her overwhelms you forever.
But your fate doesn't belong to you.
[retches]
[door closes]
DO NOT CROSS - SEALED
Your life goes on…
LOVE, KIMMY
…without a course.
You try to rebuild your life,
looking for a different path, burying Kimmy.
But the past catches up to rip you apart.
I understand, thank you.
And the future slams all doors on you.
♪ It's beaten down… ♪
You return to the only thing you know how to do
to keep you from starving.
♪ It ain't beaten down ♪
[Kimmy] And for nine years,
those stares remind you you can't escape from being who you are.
And you feel miserable.
[woman] You've got a client.
Some kinky chick.
Bring her in.
Until one day, the nightmare comes to an end.
["The Last Letter" by the Blossoms playing faintly]
What happened to you?
I promise I will tell you everything, but the thing is…
This is all very strange. I'm not sure what I'm doing here.
[Kimmy sighs]
Candance, honey.
[laughs]
I go by Olivia.
And I'm Magic.
But does that matter?
Anyone been here asking about me?
Asking about you?
Until five minutes ago,
everybody thought you were dead.
What is it, honey?
This could be a trap. I don't know if we're safe here.
A trap?
You want to go to my place?
Yes.
Yes, that's better.
[Olivia] Kimmy.
Does the bouncer know where you live?
-Why? -I need to ask him a favor.
-No, I don't trust him. -[door opens]
-But she's good. Should I call her? -Yes.
Lucía.
-[Olivia] Hi, Lucía. -Hey.
[Kimmy] She's like a daughter to me.
Do as she needs.
[Olivia] Look, this is my husband. His name's Mat.
We're supposed to meet here, but he doesn't have his phone.
Keep an eye out? If you see him, tell him we'll be at her place.
-Mat's last name? -Mateo Vidal.
Okay. No problem.
[Mat] Listen.
Hey!
[sighs, frustrated groan]
Hey!
Hey! I'm talking to you.
I told you a hundred times, I wanna make a call.
I'm a lawyer. I know my rights.
I told you a hundred times, you have to wait for him. Understood?
Who's him?
[cell vibrating]
-Bea, honey. -[Bea] Teo.
Thank God. Why aren't you answering my messages?
Didn't Colonel Prieto call you? I asked her to.
I'm fine, but I can't talk right now.
How's Sofía?
She doesn't know about Bruno, but I can't keep hiding that I'm worried.
Could've been you instead of him.
-Teo, wherever you are, come back, please. -I can't.
But everything'll be fine, I promise.
Bea, I'm going into a tunnel. I have to go. I'll call you later.
Teo.
-I love you. -Teo.
This is everything?
We won't approve the official version without doing our job.
Ortiz!
Ballistics should check if the bullet that killed Soto
was from Aguilar's gun.
We'll comply with the SCU's orders to step back from the case.
I'm asking for one more chance.
Why you believe the word of a wanted prostitute
instead of the testimony of an SCU agent with an impeccable record?
Why wouldn't it be impeccable given how everything works here?
Looking to lose your badge?
[door slams]
[inhales, exhales]
["Mamy Blue" by the Pop Tops playing faintly]
[young Lorena] When'll I see you?
-[Lorena's dad] Very soon. -[door opens]
[song continues, fades]
[kettle whistle squealing]
[Olivia] I managed to get Aguilar's tapes back,
but he had me trapped so I jumped out the window.
TAPE 27
He wanted this tape.
His tape.
He killed Lavanda.
He did this.
I'm sorry.
He wanted to know about Aníbal and Emma.
[sighs]
You should've found me to tell me you were safe.
At least I would've known nothing happened to you because I wasn't with you that day.
Kimmy.
I'll never forgive myself for what I did to you.
You still haven't told me why you're here.
For Paula.
-Paula? -My daughter.
She's sick. She needs my help.
-Did your daughter find you? -Hmm.
No, she didn't.
It was Gallardo, the policeman who investigated my death.
Gallardo?
He found me through Paula's parents. Or so he told me.
[cell rings, buzzes]
He sent me here so I could meet them and help her,
in exchange for money.
TOMORROW 11:00 P.M. SANTA EUGENIA SQUARE
[Kimmy] I think I oughta tell you something.
-Your daughter came to me. -[knocking]
But she didn't say anything about Gallardo.
Paula found out she was adopted
and wanted to know more about you.
She went to the only place where they could tell her anything.
The place where she was left.
They told her that you were dead.
That's how she got to your grave.
And your grave brought her to me.
You know your mom loved you a lot, right?
I don't get it.
If my daughter thought I was dead, everything Gallardo said was a lie.
This has to be a trap.
Maybe what Mat said is true.
[gunshots]
Aníbal.
Aníbal?
Maybe he's using everyone to get to me.
Me and you. We're the only ones still alive.
I don't understand.
Emma is dead. Gallardo is dead. Sáez is dead.
-Those two are dead? -Yes.
And Paula's parents haven't shown up here at all.
You told me Aníbal was dead, that you shot him.
Yes.
But what if he didn't die?
-[thump] -[Emma, Candance grunting]
I don't know.
That's all I can think of.
You try calling the phone that sent the message about meeting in the square?
No, I couldn't.
The SCU disconnected my phone.
Well, here, try with mine.
-Want me to do it? -Yes.
You have some paper? I'm running out of battery.
Yeah, sure. Right there.
I'm ready.
Okay. 517.
-419. -Yes.
153.
[busy tone]
No answer.
[doorbell rings]
-[Oliete] Hmm. -[Lorena sighs]
May I?
Are you training again?
Why are you here?
I know you have good instincts.
You may be right about this, but I couldn't agree in front of the SCU.
If that's an apology, it's not a good one.
I don't know if I care any more about this case.
-You care. -Maybe, but I need to learn to care less.
Right?
I should worry about other things, not just doing my job well.
-I understand you're upset. -No.
You don't.
Listen, Lorena,
moving up in this job is like climbing a mountain.
The higher you get, the less air you have and your backpack gets heavier.
Your room to maneuver becomes smaller, even though you think it doesn't.
And people like you,
with instinct,
deserve room to maneuver
to do what you need to do, and not what you're told.
Follow your instinct.
One more thing.
I want you to do this.
But I was never here.
You're on your own.
INMATE ACCUSES VIDAL
…Romero was always pissing him off.
Now, he's dead.
They say it was an accident,
-but it's not true… -[voices overlapping]
If I'm gonna sleep alone every night, I'll do it in my house, in my bed.
[sighs] Honey, come on.
Laura!
[voice continues on TV]
Fuck!
Laura!
Shit, Laura!
The fuck you doing here?
Relax, you're out thanks to me--
Yes, I am relaxed 'cause I know you can't screw me.
I'm not against you. SCU fucked me over too.
I'm on my own.
-Aguilar's cell phone. Track it. -That's illegal without a warrant.
Yes, but you know how to do it. Isn't that what you were accused of?
Until Vidal's brother helped you, right?
If you do something illegal, I'll be a part of it too.
We're in this together.
What's your plan?
We know Vidal and his wife arranged to meet somewhere.
The SCU knows that too.
Aguilar's trailing Olivia, so if we can locate him, I'm sure--
He was just in Valencia.
-You're kidding me? -I get pissed too when I'm sidelined.
Where is he now?
[Zoe] On his way to Málaga.
Less than an hour away.
ANDALUSIA HIGHWAY
[Lorena] Don't lose him.
I'm taking the first flight to Málaga.
MÁLAGA AIRPORT - COSTA DEL SOL NATIONAL POLICE STATION
[Zoe] Fuck!
[suspenseful music playing]
AGUILAR IS AT MÁLAGA AIRPORT
POWER OFF
[Teo] Special Crimes Unit. I'll take it from here.
[bars clang]
Where is Candance?
I don't know any Candance.
If you keep protecting her,
you will rot behind bars like these again.
I want to call my firm to send me a lawyer.
You and your wife wanted your sister-in-law's car.
To go where?
Tell me where and you can make that call.
What's wrong? Don't trust me?
Trust me about this.
You don't want my colleagues to find your wife before I do.
Why you so interested in finding Olivia before everyone else?
She has something of mine.
I want to get it back.
That's all.
What?
Just some tapes.
Hey, come on.
We both want to forget about all this shit and go back home to our families.
Tell me where she is, and we can make a deal.
For both of you.
We'll put it in writing.
I don't think you understand what's going on here.
Without my help, Olivia will be in prison until she's…
what, 60?
Do you really want her to suffer
the way you did all those years times five?
[ominous music playing]
I only have the name of a square.
And a time.
-She had a meeting in Marbella. -With who?
Tell me.
I'll tell you if you take me with you.
NATIONAL POLICE FORCE
This everything?
Sergeant…
I'm taking him.
[busy tone]
Nothing.
It's still busy.
I'm getting worried about Mat. What if he can't find us?
-Are you sure you trust Lucía? -Yes.
I can call her and check if you want.
Thank you.
[Olivia swallowing]
[Teo] El Paraíso Star was one of my first major cases.
I was undercover for a while.
And that's where I met your wife.
Sáez and Gallardo were there too.
They knew her really well.
Tell me, Mat,
did you kill them?
Did you do it for Olivia?
Can I ask you something man-to-man?
What happened at that party ten years ago?
Daniel Vera.
Was it really negligent homicide?
It was an accident.
It takes a lot of force to kill a person.
He lost his balance and hit his head. It was bad luck.
And in prison?
Was that bad luck too?
Romero had a grudge against you
and ends up with his brain spilled on the floor.
So everyone who bothers you
just ends up with their heads crushed, is that it?
Don't get in my way, then.
[laughs]
[Kimmy] Hi, Lucía. It's Magic. I wanted to know if you had any news.
You didn't see anything?
Okay.
Let me know if anything comes up.
Keep watching the square.
If you see him, tell him to come here
and not to talk to anybody.
Yeah.
-Should I say anything else? -[Olivia] No.
Thank you, Lucía.
Here. Call again.
[busy tone]
-Is it still not connecting? -No.
All right, come with me.
Let's call from the phone booth. Signal here sucks.
[Olivia] Didn't you call Lucía?
Well, it's worth trying.
What about Mat?
Don't worry, we'll be right back. Booth's across the street.
You can see the trailer.
Wait, the number.
-I think my phone has enough battery. -Okay.
-[door closes] -[footsteps fade]
I hope you'll be able to forgive me.
You being alive is the best present I've had in years.
Kimmy, I can't go back in time and change what happened.
But I can take you to Barcelona, if you want to.
[coughs]
You okay?
Yes, I'm fine. [coughing]
MAGIC CAMPGROUND MARBELLA
[Olivia continues coughing]
[gasping]
[Olivia exhales]
There's something I didn't tell you.
I'm pregnant.
Is that so?
That's why I need to get through this.
But we're gonna be okay.
Thanks to you.
[coughing]

[cell phone ringing]
[call disconnects]
[gasps]
[choking]
What have you--
What have you done? [choking]
My baby.
[gasping]
[suspenseful music playing]
[gasping]
[suspenseful music builds]
[music fades]
Lies always cause more pain, honey.
Gallardo suggested poisoning you.
I reached out to him when your daughter came to me.
When the police closed the case, I hired Gallardo
to look for those responsible for your death.
But he failed.
I didn't hear from him again until Paula came
looking for information about your death.
…find your biological mother.
[Kimmy] Gallardo didn't remember much of the case.
But when he went through the investigation files again,
he quickly realized…
AIS LOOK UP
And so…
[Gallardo] Cándida Isabel Russo
is alive.
[Kimmy] At first, when he told me, I didn't wanna believe him.
I couldn't believe you'd done something that caused me so much pain.
But you did.
You were very cruel to me, Candance.
How could you leave me alone to rot inside?
I had to do it.
I went after you to make you face what you did to me.
Gallardo asked Sáez to help find you.
Following the trail of Paula's adoption, Gallardo found the boarding school.
And there, Sáez recognized Emma.
I wished you both had actually died.
[sobbing] How could you abandon me?
[Teo] You sure this is it?
The message ended with a palm tree. It's here.
Hey, you.
Who's that?
-Are you Mateo Vidal? -[Mat] Yes.
I have a message from your wife.
She's at Magic's place.
[car door opens]
[door jams]
Open the door.
[cuffs clink]
Put them on.
I said open the fucking door.
Put them on.
[cuffs clink]
If you make a noise,
I'll dig a hole, and you'll be worm food.
[footsteps fading]
[cell beeps on]
[foot tapping]
[tapping keys]
DON'T TRUST HIM
[spits]
[dial tone]
[Kimmy] Who's this?
I'd recognize your voice even if I was in hell, Kimmy Dale.
So would I, son of a bitch.
That whore Candance,
is she with you?
Why?
She has something I want.
And I don't know what you're plotting,
but I have something
that may be of interest to you.
What?
Where is she?
With her friend, but not here.
What? What friend?
Kimmy Dale.
They used to be very close.
-Where's Aguilar? -[Zoe] Outside of Marbella.
But while in Málaga, he was in the airport terminal.
At the National Police station.
Lorena, I heard on TV that Mat was arrested at that airport.
NATIONAL POLICE
Good evening.
Detective Ortiz. Where is Mateo Vidal?
[Teo] Olivia's meeting was a trap.
Looks like a reckoning for some bad deeds from the past.
She got scared.
She went to Kimmy for help, who found her a safe place to hide.
And why should I believe you?
Because I have no reason to lie to you.
And because I'm your only option right now.
-I'll go with you. -No.
Wait here.
All right?
Life's funny, huh, Kimmy?
Nine years later,
and you're finally leading me to the tapes.
Where is Candance's husband?
[Teo] What're you planning to do with them?
That's none of your business.
Tell him I know where his wife is, and I'll take care of the rest.
And my tapes?
Where are they?
First, apologize for not believing me.
My wife's waiting at home for me. I don't have time for games.
Apologize, you fucking bastard.
You better tell me where I can find what I fucking came here for,
you fucking bitch.
TAPE 27
Some day you'll pay for everything you've done, you bastard.
That's my Kimmy.
Where's my wife?
Her friend will take you to her.
Go on, get out.
She's waiting for you.
Thank you, Sergeant.
[cell phone vibrating]
-Zoe, where are they? -23 kilometers away.
Take the first exit to the right. I'll guide you.
Mat?
I'm Kimmy.
-It's nice to meet you. -Where is she?
Come with me.
Come this way.
-Olivia wasn't feeling well. -She wasn't feeling well?
Congratulations on your baby.
We were talking a lot about you and the baby.
She's very happy.
[lights buzzing]
What is she doing here?
I brought her here so you two can meet.
-[Mat] No! -[door slams]
[Mat] Open up!
[pounding on door]
Open the door, you bitch! Open it!
[breathing heavily]
[pounding echoes]
[ominous music playing]
["Gnossienne No. 1" by Erik Satie playing]
[dial tone]
[Prieto] Teo, what happened?
I have them. I'm headed back.
Tomorrow morning a report will be sitting on your desk.
Wonderful job.
Go home to your wife and daughter. I think you earned a few days off.
I will.
[Zoe] Aguilar's car's on the move again.
-[Lorena] Where's he going? -Away from the hangar.
Wait. He's getting very close. Real close. Hold on. He's right by you.
Hurry up, he's heading for the highway. Two kilometers from you.
If you don't cut him off at the roundabout, he'll get away.
-Hurry! -[car accelerates]
Unit H-50. Detective Ortiz.
Requesting backup. Exit 8, MA-20. Suspect on the run.
[music continues]
[car motor revving]
[whispers] Goddamn it…
Drop your gun!
Drop it!
You're done, Ortiz.
[cuffs rattle]
Put them on.
[cuffs click]
Where's Mateo Vidal?
You're ambitious.
I see that. I've been there.
Turn around.
Tell me the position you're gunning for,
and I'll make sure you get promoted, but you're gonna have to let this go.
Don't move!
You have no idea what you're doing, you bitch.
Where are the other tapes?
You won't get anything out of this.
You're gonna wish you were dead, you arrogant little shit.
Think I don't know who you are?
Behind that facade, you're a little girl with a complex.
You're not gonna get over it by destroying my family.
Destroying so many families.
Shut up.
Don't you move.
I won't let you do it.
Believe it or not, I'm no longer the person
you'll see on that tape.
[sirens blaring]
Give me that tape!
[shouts] Agent Teo Aguilar.
Special Crimes Unit.
I don't know what you've been told by the detective,
but I'm ordering you to lower your weapons.
We're not moving until you explain what's going on.
Sergeant, aim at me.
I've no intention of shooting Officer Aguilar.
I wanna hand over this piece of evidence to the judge.
[Teo] Sergeant!
I'm ordering you to remove these handcuffs and gimme that case.
It's a matter of state security.
The case.
Leave it on the ground.
[Teo] Don't move. Something's missing.
Before you give him back this tape, you should watch it.
Give me that tape!
That's an order!
And I'm disobeying it.
[gunshot]
[Teo] Sergeant!
I command you to call Colonel Amanda Prieto.
At the station.
As soon as we check the tape.
Drop the gun and turn yourself in.
You're only making this look worse.
My daughter…
Sofía…
She can't find out what I did.
She's just a kid.
[sobs]
[whispers] Don't do it.
[gun clicks]
Don't do it. Please.
