A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Yes?
-Lieutenant Giner? -Who am I speaking to?
I'm Ballester from Cybercrime.
I'm calling regarding Alba Llorens' case.
You told me to keep tracking the servers
because you were sure we could find more videos.
Well, you were spot-on.
We have here a family, the Entrerríos,
respected socially and professionally,
known for their commitment and generosity towards the region.
This doesn't happen suddenly, by magic.
It is cemented daily.
These are the… criminals,
whom both the district attorney and the prosecution,
with no evidence at all,
want to stop from developing their promising careers,
snatching their youth in one fell swoop.
Their academic records, their civic conduct,
their memberships in various humanitarian organizations
are incompatible…
Nice sneakers.
…with the accusation.
We also have…
-What did you say? -Toño, please.
…Hugo Roig's flawless military record.
What did you say, crook? Answer me!
You're pathetic.
-Pathetic? -Toño…
And you're a heartless crook!
Toño! Sit down!
Alba!
-How was it? -They kicked me out.
It wasn't a good idea.
He started it. It wasn't my fault. This is an injustice--
-Toño, go home and wait for me. -No.
-Toño, go home. -No.
-Get going! -Here we go. It's always the same.
Before delving into the facts, I'd like to point out, as I mentioned,
the accuser was in a relationship with one of the defendants.
This calls into question his willingness
to commit the crime of rape against his girlfriend.
Would that make sense?
If that were the case,
why keep living together like nothing had happened?
What kind of woman would be prepared to live with her rapist?
The answer is quite simple. Someone who had a plan.
Turning a night of pleasure
into an opportunity, undoubtedly, to obtain some financial benefit.
Objection! The defense is speculating.
-Continue. -Thank you.
Your Honor, throughout this trial, we will present proven evidence
about the accuser's provocative conduct not only from that night but many more.
About her passion for partying, her flirting with drugs.
A woman who decided to go to Madrid, leaving her steady boyfriend.
-And there, she posed naked-- -I object, Your Honor. Inadmissible.
-The private life-- -Counselor! Let Mr. Duvall finish.
In short, Your Honor, we have here an accuser
whose conduct happens to be… questionable.
And that puts in doubt
each and every point presented in her allegations.
I therefore request the acquittal of the defendants.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Duvall.
The prosecutor has the floor.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Firstly, as representative for the district attorney,
I want to state, for the record, my total disagreement
with the account of the facts made by the defense,
especially with the inclusion in that account of…
aspersions on the victim's way of life.
A… a victim, who should never become
nor will we allow her to become the defendant throughout this process.
Therefore, the district attorney requests 20-year prison sentences
for the defendants Jacobo Entrerríos, Rubén Entrerríos, and Hugo Roig,
plus another ten years of parole
and a ban on contacting the victim in any way.
As for the defendant Bruno Costa,
the district attorney requests the same 20-year prison sentence,
a ten-year parole, a ban on contacting the victim in any way,
to which we have to add a ten-year sentence
for the crime of gender violence.
Thank you.
Mr. Duvall!
Mr. Duvall, excuse me.
-Please. -Excuse me--
My clients will not be making a statement…
-Fuck. -Are you afraid of a statement sentence?
-Get in. -No, I'll go with my aunt.
-Anything to add? -One last question, please.
-Excuse me, Mr. Duvall! -One last question.
One more question, Mr. Duvall.
-Miriam, what happened? -Your medicine.
Where's Alba?
Alba, I'm so sorry, little one.
I'll apologize to the judge. I don't want--
No, don't worry. Don't worry. Okay?
-You won't go back to court, Toño. -Here we go. But I--
Listen to me.
I don't need you there to know you're there for me.
-Okay? -Really?
-Really. -As you wish.
Why don't you go to your room and lie down?
-You need to rest. -Yes, all right.
Since she pressed charges, customers have plummeted.
Even more, you mean.
-What? -Honey, you have to be patient.
Going from a bar to a restaurant is tough, especially when--
When what?
-When you don't know the ropes. -Look, Toño.
People don't come so they don't take her side over the Entrerríos.
Taking on that family is bad business, more so for me,
with another mouth to feed and less money.
-Please. You'll wake her. -That's all you care about?
-Right now, yes. -Well, great.
-Tirso? -Sorry. I didn't want to wake you.
-Shit. What time is it? -Oh, don't worry. We have time.
Alba, look, I've been thinking
about everything over the last months, and… I wanted you to know that
I think that we have… something special.
And I'm happy about that.
Look, Tirso…
in all these months,
you've given me the support and affection I really needed.
I appreciate that a lot.
But how I feel about you
I don't think is on the same level as how you feel about me.
It's possible I confused you.
Forgive me.
Now isn't the time to talk.
And I wanted you to know that I'll be there.
I'm here.
But no pressure.
I'll wait outside, okay?
-Bye, Toño. -Bye, Tirso.
-Did you rest, honey? -Yes.
Listen, I heard you arguing with Miriam earlier.
-Is everything okay? -Of course, as usual.
-More importantly, how are you? -Toño.
I have many plans for when this is over, and they all include you.
So, I need you safe and sound.
-See you. -Bye.
"Nondisclosure agreement."
We're experiencing heavy losses.
In two months, we should start construction.
-And some investors are having doubts. -They no longer trust us?
What do you think? We're in the news every day.
So, what can we do?
-Win the trial. -And in the meantime?
Improve our image.
We could allocate more company funds to social projects
and be more present in the community.
Dad couldn't stand all that.
Dad never had his grandsons sitting in court.
We have nothing to lose.
We will look like fools trying to ride out the storm.
We based our entire growth strategy on that project. Let's keep going.
Let's close the deals before the sentencing.
That's your plan?
To keep pushing on?
Ignoring reality?
Why don't you think it over, brother?
Look, what if you both are right?
Let's keep going. Let's improve our image.
Let's persuade the investors who have doubts.
And let's find others who are not so scrupulous
and who won't care if we lose the trial.
And what about Emilio? Will he still give us city hall's support?
Let her in.
Lieutenant Giner?
-That's me. -You wanted to see me?
We've recovered two new video clips from the boys' phones.
-From that night? -Yes. From Jacobo and Rubén.
Instead of erasing them, they uploaded them to the cloud.
They tried to remove them, but the server already backed them up.
Why risk leaving them there?
Pure narcissism, like a trophy.
I don't know.
But when things got nasty…
They got scared. Of course.
I guess, if you called, you found something interesting on them?
It's Bruno?
He looks unconscious for most of the recording.
Not to say he didn't take part, but it seems unlikely in his state.
So then?
-In itself, it doesn't count as evidence. -Yeah.
But maybe if you speak to Hugo Roig…
The soldier? Why?
Because Hugo Roig sent the video.
-Wow. -And that suggests he's remorseful.
-Yes? -Hello, Hugo.
It's Marta Villar, Alba Llorens' lawyer.
-What do you want? -Just to talk.
-About what? -I think you know perfectly well.
-Hello. -You wearing a wire? You recording?
-No. -What is it you want?
Just to talk with you.
-Is this legal? -Of course it's legal.
As legal as raping a girl and framing an innocent man.
All right.
I sent Alba the video.
So she'd know the truth. I couldn't bear--
What couldn't you bear, Hugo?
The remorse?
I studied every second of that video you filmed
and also the ones Rubén and Jacobo uploaded to the cloud.
The cloud? What do you mean?
I mean that your friend Bruno didn't take part in the rape.
And I think that you know that, and you want to say it.
Why don't you finish what you started?
Why don't you tell the judge the truth for once?
-You know what you're asking of me? -Of course I know what I'm asking.
What's expected from someone with your military career.
Sorry.
Okay, Toño, go. I'll take care of it.
-You're sure? -Yes.
Thank you very much, baby girl. I just can't…
But don't take too long, okay? Come soon.
Bye.
-Why are you here? -Relax. I don't want to scare you.
I'm sorry.
I just want to say Bruno did nothing that night.
What?
He was really wasted.
He passed out.
We tricked him and said he did.
There's still time.
For what?
To leave this shit with dignity.
I'm sorry.
Hugo. Hugo, please.
Please.
Tell your crazy lawyer to leave me be, or I'll report her.
It's César.
Leave it there. Come help me.
-I can go now. You can talk calmly-- -I don't feel like talking to César.
Did you know he admitted to doing little jobs for the Entrerríos?
What little jobs?
Taking away fines… just minor things.
Well, I mean, minor things? He's police.
Yes. Yes, I know he's police.
But I don't know. I guess he did some other stuff too.
I don't know.
Why didn't you tell me this?
Because I couldn't believe it.
You know, he always liked me. And you went to Madrid.
He started coming here, to keep me company.
I got my hopes up, to be honest.
And I didn't know he was involved in this.
I wanted to give him another chance, and…
Okay.
All right. Don't worry.
-I'm sorry. -No, no. Hey. Don't worry.
I get it.
Aunt…
What?
I didn't tell you something.
When the Alba thing happened…
someone attacked me.
What?
They threatened to harm you all. You and Alba's family.
Is that why you didn't talk? Oh, Bruno.
My boy.
Oh, kiddo, I'm sorry.
But… but I think that…
I…
I think it was someone…
César.
Yes.
-Why didn't you tell me? -I wanted to press Hugo first.
-This changes everything, Marta. -No, this changes nothing.
You can't modify a charge in the middle of a trial.
If we leak it to the press? People would protest.
What would that get us? Protests in front of the courthouse?
It doesn't work like that, Alba. I didn't mean for Hugo to come see you.
I just wanted him to reconsider his statement.
What if he does? What if he exonerates Bruno?
The trial will go on.
The court may take it into account, but the trial will go on.
Oh my God. What have I done?
You made a decision. You can't blame yourself for that.
I can. I didn't believe him.
Alba, we have to focus on you now
and stick to the game plan.
-I don't know. -What don't you know?
Listen to me well, Alba.
I'm sorry, but we're in a criminal proceeding.
I can't defend the victim and the accused together.
Someone will win, and someone will lose.
-I came as soon as I could. -Quiet. Go in.
-What? -He didn't do it.
-Do what? -Bruno.
-He was unconscious for it all. -They were wasted.
For sure, Bruno was passed out.
How do you know?
-Hugo said so to Alba. -Hugo?
-What else did Hugo tell you? -That's not enough?
He's a brainless prick like the others. How do you know it's true?
Well, Tirso, he was honest. He could have kept quiet.
Yes, I know, but he's still with them. They have the same lawyer.
How do you know it's not just a strategy? Did you tell Marta?
No, Marta told me.
The kicker is, if Hugo doesn't say all of this in court,
legally, we can't do anything.
Yeah. What would he gain from this?
-He'll be convicted anyway. -He'd restore his honor.
I mean, he's a soldier, right? He'd have nothing to lose.
Well, Rubén, for one thing.
-Rubén? -You guys didn't know?
Alba?
Alba, are you okay?
I just wanted to hear your voice.
Good night.
-Good morning. -There's juice in the fridge, honey.
Thanks.
-Yes? -Mr. Antonio Llorens?
-Yes, speaking. -A pleasure to speak to you.
So, I'm calling from the bank about three months of overdue payments.
We wanted to make you aware of it
and to inform you that you have two weeks to settle it.
Oh! Yes, I understand, yeah.
No problem. I'll call you tomorrow, and we will sort it all out.
Thanks a lot.
Who was it?
Just a distributor.
Poor guys do their job, but they're a pain.
-You like the juice? -Ready.
Maybe you're too well-dressed for a trial.
Well, I want to make a good impression. Are you coming too?
Today's Marta's turn.
I'm off. Bego's waiting for me.
I wish I could go with you, honey.
Relax, Toño. I'll go for you.
-No need. -Yes, there is.
We're family… right?
-Mercedes. -You go.
Wanted to wish you luck. I think you'll need it.
Yeah.
Judge Salgado is one of the best. You'll have a fair trial.
-You think you could talk to that judge? -Oh, Mercedes.
Always so relentless.
-You owe me. -I never promised anything.
In return for what?
-Company shares. -The one about to go bankrupt?
Money, property, whatever you want.
Manuel, talk to Judge Salgado, please.
It's very difficult to influence a judge's verdict,
and it's a serious crime.
Please.
It's not good to speak out of desperation.
And it's not very attractive.
We must talk.
Oh, yes? About?
-What did she want? -Who?
Nothing.
Today is the prosecution's turn.
We'll see if the victim's attorney, Marta Villar,
manages to refute the defense's arguments.
Her lack of experience in these kinds of trials
has caused controversy in the legal community,
given that several renowned law firms tried hard to get this case.
Your Honor, sadly, this group of sexual aggressors
is just one more to add to the list
that, unfortunately and incomprehensibly,
keeps growing day after day in this country.
I would like to stress this, Your Honor.
It is the first time, as far as we know,
that some members of such a group live in luxury houses
and drive high-end cars.
So, I wonder
how many sexual assaults must have been silenced
by the fact that the defendants' families
have afforded them the luxury of paying off their victims well?
Objection, Your Honor.
Overruled. Continue.
Thank you.
Their encounter with Alba Llorens, the victim, was not by chance.
They were waiting for her.
They were out hunting.
It was a deliberate ambush, not an unexpected one.
The defense was right.
There was a plan.
But not devised by the victim. No.
There was a plan devised by the defendants.
A plan which was conceived and executed perfectly.
Your Honor, during this trial,
we will present evidence proving that their conduct was reprehensible
and the modus operandi for most of the defendants that night.
Therefore, the prosecution requests the maximum sentence for Rubén Entrerríos,
Jacobo Entrerríos and Hugo Roig.
Also, Your Honor, I am amending my provisional findings
regarding Bruno Costa,
since it has been proven
that his awareness was seriously impaired on the night in question,
due to the level of alcohol and narcotics he consumed.
Consequently,
I will request the lowest penalty in the sentencing of said defendant.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Let's go.
Toño, what's wrong?
I can't take it.
What's going on?
Yesterday, I found a letter
which read, "nondisclosure agreement."
And Miriam promised to say nothing…
in exchange for money.
Say nothing about what?
I don't know.
Who did she sign it for?
For Eloy.
The lawyer for the Entrerríos?
Yeah, but…
Don't you worry, my baby girl.
I will find out what this is all about.
I want to see it.
-Hello, Clara. How are you? -Hello, César.
-I need to ask you something. -Yes, sure. Go ahead.
No, in person, please.
Yes, no problem. It's just, I'm starting my shift now.
Okay. You can drop by later.
Sure I can. Tonight, when I get off, I'll drop by.
Maybe it was just me,
but I didn't see your daughter in court.
She wasn't there.
This is too much for her.
I see.
But, if Sandra supports her fiancé,
it will be easier to believe in his innocence.
Innocence?
Yes. The boys are innocent.
Mercedes, I know you've always been devoted to him.
I admire you for it.
I'm also devoted to Sandra.
I don't want her to endure more that she can bear.
Understand?
Our kids would be on their honeymoon today.
I know I offered my support until hearing the sentence.
I'll keep my word.
Thank you.
But their engagement must be called off.
You can't have it all, Mercedes.
Bruno, it's me.
I know. I shouldn't be here.
So then,
why are you here?
You did nothing, Bruno.
You didn't do it.
-What? -You were unconscious the whole time.
How do you know that?
Hugo told me so.
Hugo?
The Civil Guard found more videos showing you were unconscious, Bruno.
So, the only thing we need is for Hugo to testify in your favor.
No. That won't happen.
Why not?
He wouldn't do that to Rubén, betray him.
I didn't do anything?
So?
Is it too late?
Is it too late for us?
No.
-You didn't call me for a while. -I was going to get married today.
Were you? And who bailed? You or her?
Would you marry me?
This costs extra, you know?
No.
Not so tight, Rubén.
Shut up.
Fucking bitch. It was your fault.
You fucking led us on!
Rubén, let go!
You almost choked me, asshole!
I should report you.
Get in line.
Why are you here?
I want to talk to you.
About what?
You know what.
You spoke to the Civil Guard?
How did you find out?
How long have we been friends?
I want to know why.
Why did you leave me lying there?
Why did you let it all happen?
I had no choice.
I had to choose, Bruno.
And you chose to let me believe I raped my girlfriend.
You know well what it is to be in love.
What do you want? Why did you come?
Do you want to hit me? Hit me! Fucking hit me and leave!
Hugo…
I know you.
I know you're different.
And now, in the trial, you have a chance to prove that,
to choose again.
Don't do it for me
or for Rubén.
Think about you.
Think about the person you are
and the person you'll be if you lie.
I was starting to think you wouldn't come.
I promised you. And it seems important.
What shady jobs do you do for the Entrerríos?
I'm not proud, and I don't want to speak of it.
Even so, I'd do it again.
Was it you
who assaulted Bruno in his apartment?
-What? -Was it you?
Yes or no? The truth.
No.
It wasn't me.
I really needed to hear you say that.
What do you want? Clara, what's going on?
Do I matter to you?
Please, of course you do.
-You matter a lot to me. You know that. -Then help me. You have to help Bruno.
What do you want me to do? Tell me.
When you take the stand, testify in his favor.
Tell them he's not like the other three.
Your testimony will have credibility in court.
I don't know.
You've known Bruno since he was a baby.
You saw him grow up.
You know he wouldn't harm anybody, that he's incapable of that.
Much less Alba.
The only ones at fault here are the Entrerríos.
Clara.
César, I'm desperate. Please.
Please.
I'm terrified of Bruno ending up in jail for God knows how many years.
-You must help us. -Okay.
-Please. -Relax.
-I beg you. -Relax.
-Please. -Listen to me.
I'll do all I can.
-You will? -Yes.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
It's okay.
Rubén?
Hugo,
I need help.
-Where are you? -In the fucking hotel.
Rubén!
Shit. You're fucking kidding me.
Hey!
Okay, come here. Hey, Rubén!
Hey. Come here, come here.
Hey. What the fuck happened?
-Hugo? -Fuck.
-Hugo. -Hey. Are you all right?
Fuck.
-Let's go to the hospital. -Just what we need.
Not now, okay, Rubén? Not now.
Hugo,
you were fucking right.
I can only trust you.
Let's go. We need to be punctual.
I hate coming down here. I can't stand this dump of yours.
Dad… have you ever doubted if you're doing the right thing?
-No, never. -No?
No.
What if doing the right thing ruins my military career?
That if I do… my duty, I would cause my own discharge?
No, son.
Everyone sees life from their own watchtower.
What's important is knowing how to defend what's yours,
letting nobody and nothing derail you,
ensuring everybody respects you.
That's a man.
And, unfortunately, I'm not sure you are one.
I'll wait in the car.
I call Mr. Hugo Roig to testify.
Do you swear to tell the truth to all you're asked?
I swear.
-The prosecution may proceed. -Thank you, Your Honor.
Good morning, Mr. Roig.
Are you friends with Rubén Entrerríos, Jacobo Entrerríos, and Bruno Costa?
Yes.
-Since when? -Since we were little.
Would you say they are your best friends?
-Yes. -Do you do everything together?
What do you mean?
Celebrations, parties, hard times.
Yes.
Would you say you know everything about your friends?
I would say so, yes.
Where were you the night of June 10th this year?
-I went partying with them. -Where did you go?
To Kevin's Pub.
-And we had some drinks on the street. -Only drinks?
No.
What else? Drugs?
-Yes. -Could you specify which ones?
We had cocaine and some amphetamines.
Would you say you were aware of all of your surroundings?
Yes.
Who were you with when you ran into Alba Llorens?
With Jacobo and Rubén.
And Bruno?
He came later.
All right.
Let's be more specific with details now.
Did you force the plaintiff to have sexual intercourse with you?
No.
Did any of your friends force her?
No.
Do you admit to vaginally penetrating her?
-Yes. Yes. -Pardon?
Yes.
Only you?
No.
Who else did?
Jacobo.
Rubén.
You said that Bruno showed up later.
Did he take part in the rape?
Objection. She can't use that term.
Sustained. Rephrase the question, please.
Did Bruno Costa have sexual intercourse with the plaintiff?
The question is very simple, Mr. Roig.
Yes or no?
Did he, or didn't he, Mr. Roig?
Yes, he did too.
What occurred between you two in the summer of 2015?
Didn't you think they'd use that against you?
Yes, Alba and I hooked up.
-Alba. -Forgive me, please.
Eloy's coming to me. We can't be seen.
Had you ever had group sex before?
-No, not me. -Who, then?
My cousin, Rubén.
Rubén hired an escort. No doubt about it.
I want to present some last-minute evidence.
Rubén turned the courtroom against him. Did you see their faces?
What is this? The town cultural society?
-No means no! -No means no!
-We turn problem into solution. -Mireia Salarich, doctor of psychiatry.
You had it publicly stated that your son must be unfit.
I convened an extraordinary board meeting
to prevent such a person from running this company.
These people are usually repeat offenders.
Especially when their money covers their tracks.
-Two reports of sexual assault. -They both worked for the Entrerríos.
-I can't help. -I know the Entrerríos are very scary.
If there's anyone who knows exactly how you feel, it's me.
When Alba learned about your presumed involvement in the events,
what was her first reaction?
-To report it. -You were opposed that.
-Why? -Think of your daughter before speaking.
-Proving she was drugged would be awesome. -Impossible.
It's not if we find the dealer who sold it to Jacobo and company.
You really don't know who it was?
