A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
I choose to remain silent.
Bruno.
He chooses to remain silent.
I expected nothing less.
Take him to the cell then.
Awaiting a judicial ruling, after a night in the police station,
the four young men can go back home.
They are suspected of a gang rape
that allegedly took place some months ago--
Here they are!
-Back. Thank you. -Come on, quick.
Mr. Duvall!
Sentences in recent rape cases have been very harsh.
-Are you afraid of going to jail? -Excuse me, Mr. Duvall.
These boys aren't scared. They aren't guilty. It's all a mistake.
A statement is forthcoming.
Can you confirm that two members of the Entrerríos family were arrested?
-Back. Get back, please. -Rubén. Let's go.
Just a moment. Wait, please. A question for Naranjo Television.
One moment, please. A question for Naranjo Television.
How did you allow this show to happen?
Haven't you heard of social media?
He's right. It only takes one person to see them go into the station.
-It was inevitable. -Inevitable, my ass!
Has anyone called Emilio?
We should tell him our side, see what he can do.
-He's a very influential politician. -Like keeping the press away?
-Yes, precisely. -Mariano, please.
I hope this doesn't jeopardize the project.
Will you calm down?
The only concern is getting the boys out of this, right?
Our legal standing?
The examining judge will take their statements,
then a hearing,
and then he will decide whether to set bail or not.
-You know him? -The examiner? Yes, of course.
-Can he be bought? -What?
Of course not.
Fantastic. Who is it?
Manuel Cruz.
Manuel Cruz?
First, let's prepare them for the hearing.
The Entrerríos family is very influential on the coast.
Their real estate portfolio extends beyond our borders.
If the judge moves for a trial,
they could face up to 15 years in prison.
They will suspend your employment and pay.
But why? I haven't even been charged.
Isn't this reason enough?
Why didn't you stop it?
Whether forced or voluntary,
it was intolerable.
I can't change what happened.
As much as I want to, I can't.
Dad…
please,
help me.
Please. I need you.
You lost your honor, son…
but at least, keep your dignity.
Relax. There we are.
Look at me.
It's okay, all right?
It's okay.
Good.
It's okay.
The doctor said he needs to be calm.
So, we'll see, with everything going on now.
-That's it. -If anything happens and it's my fault…
Your fault?
Once those criminals are in jail…
I'll be just fine.
Tell the doctor that.
I'll get you water, okay?
Yes?
May I speak to Alba Llorens? I'm Darío Toledano. I'm a lawyer.
-How did you get my number? -That doesn't matter.
-But… -I just want justice to be done.
As you do, correct?
You brought me to posh-land, huh?
They won the case of that foreign tourist.
Yeah, it seems great, but don't get too excited.
Why?
Nobody works for free, much less in a place like this.
Dude, even the toilet paper is designer.
I'm not even kidding.
Bego, you're here for moral support, not to mess with my head.
Well, sorry, but this shit doesn't sit right.
Alba Llorens?
Follow me.
You can wait here.
-Can we make it public? -Of course. She's ours now.
Make sure she signs as soon as possible.
Posh boys, a country girl, and a brilliant lawyer.
It makes for a good soap opera, right? The press will go wild.
Now then…
You okay? Need anything? Something to drink?
-Alba, we're going. -What?
-We're going. I'll explain later. -Sorry. You are?
Begoña, her best friend. Who the fuck are you?
-So, you want the best for her. -Exactly right.
-Bego, please. -Trust me.
-I'm sorry. -You're sorry?
Alba, you're making a big mistake. That family will destroy you.
Stupid girl.
Well, Jacobo…
Okay, yes, yes, I admit it.
We messed up with Alba. But not a crime. It's different.
-Yes. Exactly. -What was our mistake?
Not knowing she had emotional issues, that she'd lie and report us.
Rubén.
What if she regrets cheating on Bruno and wants us to pay--
No, no, forget that.
It was consensual sex. That's the only truth.
It's our fault she wants attention, money, or whatever?
I don't give a fuck.
What you need to get straight
is that under current law, if there is no consent, it's rape.
-Her word against ours. -We're exposed.
-That's why, first, we must try to-- -Destroy her.
Shut up, cuz! Listen to Eloy! You're making me nervous.
To discredit her.
Prove that her track record is unreliable, unlike yours.
Dig up dirt on her if necessary.
And clean up your own.
Do you all get what I'm saying?
Where is this guy? He should be here by now.
-Maybe he backed out. -No. He'll come.
He's poor but not a dumbass. He knows he has no chance on his own.
-I'll eat dinner at Jacobo and Rubén's. -Again?
-Let's not start. -Start what?
Kid, I'm raising you my way. Those boys are the opposite.
They get everything handed to them, no work--
Yes, but they're my friends. Please, respect that.
I was going to put them in the mailbox, but I saw the shutters open.
Bruno, I mean…
We all used to see it.
That you were never like them, and your world was not their world.
Haven't you ever wanted to belong somewhere?
To feel you're part of something and feel protected?
That's exactly how I felt with you.
I would always see you around town, with them, so snobby and arrogant.
You went around like you owned the town.
But then… I ran into you in Madrid and…
Which one of them are you? Huh?
You know who I am.
I'm me.
You know I would never do that.
You were there.
It's enough.
If that video had not been released… Well?
How did the Civil Guard get that video?
I don't get it either. I don't understand.
We all deleted them, right?
I still don't get it.
Don't worry.
If we act wisely, there's a chance we can win.
Of course, there can be no contradictions.
-Bruno. -Mercedes.
I understand what you must be going through.
I doubt it.
They are preparing the statement for the judge.
It's important that you all stick to the same story.
-I'm going in. -You should know I'm on your side.
I don't know what really happened,
but I don't doubt who I will believe.
I don't care what she says. I know you all.
-I know you're not monsters. -You don't know Alba.
Right. If she loves you, why did she report you?
Why not give you the benefit of the doubt?
Is that love?
The fact that she accused you… doesn't give you food for thought?
Yes, it does.
It makes me wonder how I was so dumb to think your affection was free.
-Pardon? -I grew up with values.
-I almost lost them thanks to you all. -We've always treated you well.
We've never taken you from your people. I'd never allow it.
We treated you as one of us.
I'm not so sure.
Sorry to hear that.
-I'm sorry I'm late. -Excuse me?
Already pissing me off.
Are you aware of the pile of shit we're under, huh?
Remember, you're being accused too.
Cuz, give him a break, will you?
Well then…
The point is, the hearing is in two days, and we need to prepare.
And no bullshit, Rubén.
Bruno, let's start from zero.
I know it's especially hard for you, but we need your cooperation.
MANUEL, I NEED TO SEE YOU
And all the money they bring into town?
Is there anyone here
who doesn't do business with them in some way?
And you, Miriam? You're most involved.
I… am closing the restaurant.
At least until this is over.
We should write a statement in favor of the boys.
Hang on. That's all that matters?
Not to lose money, clean up the town's image.
Defending the Entrerríos means screwing over Alba.
You should all be ashamed.
We deserve to be a ghost town.
-If they did it, they should pay. -Yes, you're right.
-I totally agree. -Will we write the letter?
Well, as you already know,
Bruno is my nephew.
He's all I have.
So, please, I just ask that we don't go crazy.
Let's not point fingers. Let's let justice run its course.
If any business will be affected, it's going to be mine.
So, please, the best and worst of us show in times like this.
Let it be the best.
I just ask for a little patience.
Let's be patient.
Those guys? Bastards.
They are shameless scumbags. No means no everywhere.
How do you think she is? She feels awful. She's a wreck. She's devastated.
But luckily, my sister-in-law has us, her family.
We will be there to give her strength.
And in addition, the town's business owners
have decided to sign a statement against this horrible assault.
In no way do we want such repugnant acts to be associated with this town.
Great. Thanks a lot. That's a wrap.
-Cut. -When does it air?
It was live.
Excuse me.
I have a beautiful restaurant with ocean views.
If you want, we can continue the interview there.
Anything more to add?
Well, no.
Truth is, we're really torn up about the whole thing.
Mostly about the boyfriend.
What about the boyfriend?
Well… he was one of them.
What the hell are you doing?
Have you no shame? This is my business. What is this?
There he is!
-Coward! Rapist! -I hope they lock you up!
-Go inside. -Nasty!
You pig!
-Get out of this town! -Where is the presumption of innocence?
No means no. You hear me, pig? You should be ashamed for raising him.
-You pig! -Go away before I call the police, please.
-Get lost! -Let's go.
No means no!
Do you think I'm capable of that?
No… I don't think you're capable.
But I still don't know why you were there.
A center for minors?
Didn't you say you wanted a lawyer who wasn't a dick?
-Yes. -Then come with me.
JUVENILE CENTER
They say she's a hell of a woman.
Yes, I understand. How could I not?
There she is.
-Marta. -Yes?
-You don't remember me? -Should I?
-I'm Tirso, a friend-- -Sorry. I don't have all day.
No, of course not. But weren't we done?
-We hadn't even started. -Ah, even better.
That way we don't waste time. You know the way out, right?
How dare you? We will close the center. You hear me?
Yes, of course, I hear you.
A year of threats, but we're still here.
Bye.
-What's her deal? -Politicians.
To them, all the evil of the world is created here.
Well, Tirso, how can I help you?
You're ashamed to talk to me.
You'll be even more so when the reporters press you.
Mom, don't make a fuss. They can't get anything from us, okay?
Was Alba the first?
-Here we go again. -And the only one. Let that be clear.
We are not criminals.
Go on. Go talk to Sandra.
Convince her you're worthy of her.
It is our fault. We gave you everything and didn't set any limits.
-That could be! -Don't lump me in with them.
What do you mean?
Your son, Rubén… has been out of control for a long time.
Meaning?
What happened.
You're saying it was his idea, but you, the smarter of the two, got carried away?
-No. Mercedes, that's not-- -Jacobo.
You are my nephew, and you could be my son.
But you're not.
Don't underestimate me.
Do you know anything about rape and abuse and…?
Yes… they're a bitch.
Unfortunately, some kids here have had it hard.
But let's just say, it's not my specialty.
I'm not much help.
What made you come?
They told me you were special and could be trusted.
Oh, yes? Who was that?
Some of your boys. Ahmed, Byron…
A tall Senegalese guy.
Right, to them, anyone who doesn't insult them is special.
I want you to take my case.
You want me to take your case?
But, Alba, I just told you that it's not my specialty.
I need someone I can trust.
If you fight for me like you do for those boys…
-What about your public defender? -He isn't very experienced.
-Well, a lawyer called me. -Who?
-Darío Toledano. -Why was he interested in your case?
No offense, but I find it strange that someone of his profile
would be interested in this case.
Because of two of her rapists.
-Who are they? -Jacobo and Rubén Entrerríos.
I understand.
And… my boyfriend
was with them too.
Can we count on you then?
I'm sorry, Alba. Truly, I am.
But I don't think I'm the right person to help you.
LIFE IS STRANGE
-Do you think they were capable of it? -Well, the truth is that I don't know.
These guys are very nice, very normal.
Around here, in town, people love them.
And they've never been the topic of debate.
They are very wealthy people.
And that's what I think that girl's after, money.
-You think she's after money? -Personally, I think so.
Alba Llorens?
-Who are you? -I'm Mónica Robledo, a reporter.
-Can I have a moment? -No.
-Please. I'm on your side. -Thanks a lot, but no.
-You won't be recognized. -I said no.
Rumor has it there's a video circulating in the press.
-What? -Images from that night.
You're dancing with everyone.
That's not true.
If you do an interview, I could clear it all up.
You know it's illegal to reveal a victim's identity?
You'd have the chance to defend yourself, to explain why Bruno was there.
Don't come near me again.
Here, in the town where the alleged rape occurred,
and as we await the oral hearing,
opinions are very much divided.
Poor girl. I don't know how she's coping.
-Do you think they did it? -It's not clear to me at all.
Well, we all know the laws here. They say it was consensual. She disagrees.
Her word against theirs. The trial will decide.
As you can see, opinions are divided.
What most caught our attention is that one of the alleged rapists
is someone with whom the victim lives.
No less than her own boyfriend.
Fuck. You want to go on about this? Sandra, we didn't do anything wrong.
But you did it. Did you do it with her?
-Did… did what? -You bastard.
Sandra, we were high. I don't remember at all.
-It… it was Jacobo's idea. -You went along, as usual.
No! He even got Bruno involved.
Fuck, she… she was so horny, and we, well--
Keep the details to yourself.
Come on, Sandra. Fuck. Forgive me.
Forgive you?
How can I forgive something like this? What will people think?
I don't care what they think, Sandra.
Should I talk to them and tell them that I'm 25 years old and I like to party?
-So you fuck someone else? -I didn't fucking rape her!
Come on, Sandra. Fuck.
-Sa-- -Leave me alone. Don't touch me.
Emilio, we need your unwavering cooperation.
No, it's not that simple.
I think it is. We had a deal.
Mercedes, my daughter is not one of your projects.
Sandra is Rubén's fiancée. If she's not by his side, he looks guilty.
I won't put her future and my political career at risk.
This family put you where you are.
I don't care if he raped her, but if this goes to trial--
It won't go to trial.
But I need your help as much as you need mine.
Sandra.
Sandra, fuck.
I love you.
I really fucking love you, Sandra.
RAPISTS IN ALICANTE
Let's talk about it calmly, damn it.
FOUR YOUNG MEN ACCUSED OF RAPE IN ALICANTE
VICTIM'S BOYFRIEND A DEFENDANT
RAPE IMPLICATES ENTRERRÍOS BOARD MEMBERS
ARE THE ENTRERRÍOS RAPISTS?
Come on, Sandra.
Being a local girl, you may know her.
Sentences in recent rape cases have been very harsh.
Are you afraid of going to jail?
These boys aren't scared. They aren't guilty.
It's all a mistake. A statement is forthcoming. Thank you all.
INTERVIEW WITH ELOY DUVALL (ENTRERRÍOS FAMILY'S LAWYER)
We must remember to uphold the presumption of innocence.
I mean, my defendants are good boys who had consensual intercourse with her.
She led the group.
She decided to have sex with all four boys.
Of course, when the video appeared, she probably felt ashamed.
What a bastard.
YOU HAVE 24 NEW MESSAGES 5 MISSED CALLS, 1 AUDIO MESSAGE
HIDDEN NUMBER - YOU ARE A WHORE
HOW DARE YOU LIE LIKE THAT
CLOSE YOUR LEGS
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
UNKNOWN - VOICE MESSAGE
Disgusting fucking cocktease. You suck four dicks and then report it.
You're a fucking lesbian.
I'm going to puke in your dirty cunt, you piece of shit.
Hello, Alba.
-What's wrong? -Come in.
What is it?
I just got a bunch of messages from people insulting me.
I must have been on some TV show or something. I don't know.
Okay, calm down. Have you talked to the press?
No.
If I found your address,
any bastard out there can do the same with your info.
Don't worry.
-I'll have them make it unlisted, okay? -Okay.
What are you doing at my place?
Well, I've thought it over, and I'm going to represent you.
If you still want, of course.
-Yes, of course I do, yes. -Great.
The cell phone. I'll turn it off.
How much did you drink that night?
A few glasses.
How many? Two, three?
It's possible.
-What about drugs? Did you take any? -One pill.
-Must be more than that. -No.
Unfortunately, this report is worth more than your word.
Well, I am sure, whatever it was, I did not take it voluntarily.
There's no sign of psychological or physical aggression,
except for a few scratches, bruises, but nothing that proves violence.
In the end, the prosecution has only the word of this girl.
Her word against my four defendants. Nothing else.
-Did you kiss Tirso? -No.
There's a video.
I didn't kiss Tirso, but he kissed me.
And the video? They say it's very graphic.
It is not clear enough. I don't think it is conclusive.
Why would she make this up?
Why did you go to Kevin's? To meet someone?
Yes, I had arranged to meet Bego. I was also waiting for my boyfriend.
When there's doubt, it benefits the defendant.
It's on the prosecution to prove the crime and the bad faith of my clients.
Look, sorry, but I find it mind-blowing I'm the one who has to justify herself.
I was asked what she gets out of it.
I'll tell you.
A statement sentence. A substantial compensation payment.
A lot of money.
The defense will base its strategy on the relations being consensual.
They were not consensual. They weren't.
Just because I was dancing or having a good time at a disco
doesn't mean I wanted some scumbags to ruin my life.
She seems like a promising girl.
Don't complicate things.
I get that you're going through hell. You have every right to be enraged.
But what's coming will be much harder. They'll come after you without mercy.
If this ends up in court, it's going to be carnage.
If we go to trial?
Yes, the judge must decide whether there is a case or not.
Well then?
Do we continue? Yes?
What now?
Bruno.
NO TRESPASSING
-What do you want? -What do I want?
To get you out of your fucking mess.
You weren't focused at the meeting.
How can you sleep at night?
It's important we go over the statements. There can be no contradictions, Bruno.
If you don't want that, look for a story close to the truth.
-What truth, may I ask? -Don't fuck with me.
Even if I don't remember that night, it was rape.
I was silent due to your threats.
-Listen-- -Don't deny it!
-I'm not dumb! -Bruno!
I admit that Víctor did some questionable, perhaps wrong things before he died,
but I don't approve of those methods.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
Get out of my house.
I just want to keep you all out of jail.
We're not so young anymore, but it wasn't bad, was it?
Yes.
You were always very good in bed.
Better than you.
-All in order? -All in order.
See you at the hearing.
Luis. What happened to you?
Did you get in a fight? Come here.
-What happened? -It doesn't matter.
No, it does matter. Who did it?
-A fourth grader. -Listen to me.
He hit you, just like that?
No, I started it.
Why you?
Because he was bad-mouthing you.
He called you a bad word, starts with the letter B.
Luis, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me, okay?
I didn't want him to call you names.
Yeah, I know, honey, but hitting is not the answer.
-Promise me you won't do it again. -I promise.
-Want me to fix you up? -I'll take care of it.
Come here. Come on, sweetheart.
What's with you?
We robbing a gas station?
-I have to explain it? -No.
But I won't let you be the one to hide.
Well, at least I'm out.
Come on, let's go. We'll go together. Yeah?
Okay.
What, about this girl who was raped? Well, I don't know.
It was her boyfriend too? He was there.
We've all gone out on a Friday night, drank too much, things escalate and…
Yes, that's possible. But I don't know if that's rape.
I'm not justifying rape, but how do you prove that?
If she was with them, maybe she wanted it, right?
-Go for it, Alba! -We're behind you!
No means no!
Do you see this? Do you see? You're silly, girl.
Where are you going?
NO MEANS NO
IT IS NOT ABUSE, IT IS RAPE
THEY DON'T BELIEVE US TILL THEY KILL US
LIFE IS STRANGE
NO MEANS NO
I BELIEVE YOU
Look who's coming.
Alba…
who gave you the right to ruin my life?
I ruined your life?
I don't have that power.
I trust Rubén.
I want you to know I support him.
Sounds perfect.
Where were you?
-With a friend. -The judge?
What were you doing with him?
Saving your son. Is that all right?
In exchange for what?
Do you really want to know?
Does he really still love you?
Enough to close the case?
Eloy, tell me.
Motherfuckers.
@JSTALKER_48 I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE @JMISANTROPO YOU'RE THE WORST!
@JUSTICIERA YOU DESERVE IT FOR BEING NAKED
@EL_KARMA LIAR!
@JLAESSI BITCH!!!
YOU LIKED IT
WITHDRAW THE FAKE REPORT
GET OUT OF TOWN, SLUT
WHORE
KILL YOURSELF
I hired a firm to look into Alba's past.
-It seems it paid off. -Where were these photos taken?
In a photography workshop, posing as a model.
-Jacobo, have you seen the comments? -Of course I have.
They're crucifying her.
I don't think there will be a trial.
We'll see.
See you later.
-There he is. -The fuck…
What's wrong with you, Hugo, dude? Come on, cheer the fuck up.
I don't get why the fuck we're partying. We haven't won anything, okay?
But we will. The hearing's the first step.
The first step. I'll show you the first step.
Look at them. The way they dance, the way they dress.
They're asking for one fucking thing. That's what happened to us with Alba.
-What were we thinking? -What does it matter?
We just did it. It was a night out.
Haven't you felt remorse?
Are you losing your shit? Now?
Hugo, look me in the eyes.
Hey, look me in the eyes.
Can I trust you?
And you, cuz? Can I trust you?
Can we trust each other? Yeah?
Jacobo…
I want to know why it was so important for you
to do what we did.
What did you want to prove?
And you? What did you want to prove, Hugo?
Come on, answer me.
I wasn't your captain, and it wasn't a fucking mission.
Why'd you join in?
Why did you fuck her like we did?
Three shots, please.
You, listen in. You need hear this too.
If we want a culprit, it's very simple.
Alba.
It was Alba. Problem solved.
-Agreed? -It was Alba.
Agreed? Yes? Good.
Come on, I propose a toast.
-To friends. To us, boys. -Hell yeah!
Get those shots up.
Down the hatch.
Let's go.
You have the look of death when you go out.
Why are you here?
I wanted to check you were okay.
I'm only going to be okay if they're in jail.
Alba…
I will do my best.
See you in court.
NO MEANS NO
Fatia heard that I represented you and insisted on talking to you.
I think listening to her experience might help you. Okay?
-Well, I'll leave you to it. First door. -Okay.
It was two years ago. I was partying.
I met them that night, at the disco.
I got in their car, they took me to a field and…
I reported them, they went to court, and now they're in jail.
So, you're all right, aren't you? I mean, it's all over now.
No. This never ends.
I still go to a psychologist.
I'm still afraid.
I don't know. I still feel guilty.
Guilty.
The worst thing is not that they humiliate you
or insult you or make you do things you don't want to do, no.
The worst is that you keep wondering if, I don't know,
you said or did something that would lead them on.
That you danced too suggestively with them
or said something they misinterpreted.
The worst of it was that… they made me my own enemy,
my own victim.
Alba…
don't let them do that to you.
Fight.
And above all, don't be ashamed. Not ever.
Already?
So soon?
-What's going on? -The court just called.
The judge will announce his decision, whether to issue an indictment or not.
I'll let the boys know.
You're here.
In the case of the accusation by Alba Llorens
against Rubén Entrerríos,
Jacobo Entrerríos, Hugo Roig, and Bruno Costa,
for an alleged crime of rape committed on the night of June 10, 2020,
I have decided…
If there's press, no comment. Straight to the car.
Bruno, let's go.
Let's go.
What happened?
The judge has decided to prosecute those involved.
-They're going to jail? -No. They won't go to jail yet.
-For now, we are going to trial. -We've won, Alba.
Yes, I guess so.
They will go after you mercilessly, Alba.
Claiming you wanted it, you provoked them,
and all kinds of outrageous things.
Hi, Marta. Good evening. Remember me?
Of course. I still have your number.
He's called you to offer you a deal?
-This way, everyone knows they are guilty. -Yes, but they would avoid jail.
-You're a son of a bitch. -Now, forget this and help your son.
How?
Reaching a deal with the judge and the prosecution.
A rumor has been circulating for a few days at the Provincial Court.
It's possible that both parties will reach a settlement.
You really think he did it?
If I want to move on, I must forget that night.
To do that, I must forget him.
Hi. I wanted to see if you're okay.
-I'm going. -Stay.
You still think you don't want a lawyer? Honey, you need your own.
I prefer to be with them.
This man has returned, and we must celebrate.
Jacobo's coming.
It's like you're the only one who gets me, always by my side.
-That's what friends are for. -You're more than that.
What the fuck are you doing? Fucking faggot! Get out!
