A NETFLIX SERIES
Perfect. My pleasure.
Enjoy. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas…
Cristina.
I didn't expect to hear from you tonight.
They know who you are. They're going to arrest you.
When?
Now. But I've worked out a plan.
-Simón. -Yes, go ahead.
Yeah, okay.
DELETING FILES…
FILES DELETED
Police! Hands where we can see them!
On the ground!
Hey, what's up? Merry Christmas.
The cops just arrested Simón.
Chema…
But you said that'd be impossible…
That you'd take care of it all.
That no one would lift a finger without you knowing about it first.
I was mistaken.
What do you mean, you were mistaken?
Where are you at?
On the way to my daughter's place.
Don't do anything until I call you.
Chema, we clear?
Yeah.
I need to make some calls.
Listen to me.
We're gonna fix this.
Okay.
Central to PN002.
Go ahead.
New orders. Transfer the prisoner to Baruca Correctional Facility.
Can you repeat, Central?
I said take the prisoner over to Baruca Hill.
-Is that prison still open? -I don't get it. Wasn't it closed?
We're taking him there at this hour?
Central, are we sure they're ready to receive the prisoner at Baruca?
The warden is being informed.
Yes, sir.
Hmm. Are you sure though?
The baby's got to be safe and well protected.
-Hello? -Hey!
-Hi. -Hey.
That line took forever. Why's it always me?
No whining.
I need a puppy.
-Is this the one I asked for? -Yeah.
-You sure? -I'm sure.
Don't be so serious.
Cheer up, Ali.
-Here you go. -A puppy!
Jorge! What's up?
Have you seen the news?
No, why?
They've arrested The Alligator. They wanna take him to Baruca.
What?
You only have to hold him for the night. They'll get him in the morning.
Look, who made this call, Jorge?
We don't have the resources or manpower.
They're expecting you there in an hour.
-Sorry. -Done.
We're ready.
-What's wrong? -Something urgent came up.
I have to go to work.
And dinner?
[man 3Well, small change of plans.
You're comin' with me.
We're gonna go stay with Mom.
Don't start with that. Guille and Ali aren't going.
Fine, then let the three of us stay here.
I want us to spend the evening together.
Seriously, Dad? In a nuthouse?
Laura…
-I'm going to Mom's. -Laura, please…
-See you tomorrow, 'kay? -Laura…
Our top story today.
The Alligator has been identified and arrested.
The chilling story…
Excuse me. Thank you.
…began three years ago, when nine bodies were found wrapped
in trash bags…
How are you, Alberto? Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas. -Not that, man. That one.
At the time, detectives found no clues
to help identify the perpetrator of these awful crimes.
He has since earned the nickname The Alligator…
Hey, cheers.
…brutal way in which he would kill and mutilate his victims.
Three months later, another 11 bodies were found,
also in trash bags and buried not far from a residential area.
This discovery had made The Alligator
the most prolific serial killer in recent history.
As officials were previously unable to find…
No, no, no, no… No, no, no!
No hugging! No, no, no hugging like that.
-I'm going home. -No, come on.
You haven't finished your beer.
You can tell you don't have a wife and kids. You can tell.
-No shit. -Have fun.
-Bye. -See ya.
-See ya, guys. Bye. -Bye.
Good evening, gentlemen.
-Well, I'll be damned. -Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Why are you here?
-Have you bought the girls' gifts? -What do you think?
-Good. -Hi, Sara.
Merry Christmas.
Why are you here?
Is something wrong?
Got a job for us.
Great. When?
Right now.
Hold on. What do you mean, "right now"?
We gotta tell the others. It's gonna be quick.
We go in, grab someone, get them out of there, and then disappear.
-Let's keep it simple. -Get them out of where?
BARUCA HILL PSYCHIATRIC CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
It's Simón Lago.
Yes, yes, we know.
But why on earth would they send him here?
No idea. The destination changed on the way.
Should we do the paperwork?
Yes, of course. Let's go.
Thanks so much, you guys.
-You late for something or what? -No.
-All good. -Hands on the counter then, buddy.
Hey.
Hi. Aren't we doing a video call?
I'm driving. I have to go into work. There's an emergency.
What about the kids?
They're coming with. We're all in the car.
-You're taking them with you? -Yes, Marta.
Taking them to work on Christmas Eve? Judge is gonna love this.
Marta…
Let's see if he still thinks you're Father of the Year after this.
Look, please. Let's not do this.
Listen, Laura didn't want to come. She's on her way to your place.
Look, can you have her call me--
I'm sorry, guys.
-File that record. -Of course.
-Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.
Here. There you go.
-Go say hi to Raquel. -Hello.
Oh, wow, an angel!
It's a costume.
A costume, huh?
These are my kids, Guille and Alicia.
They're precious.
Where's he at?
Over in the holding room.
I'll take them to my office.
See you soon!
Bye.
Why are there doctors?
They're psychiatrists. This is where they lock up nutjobs.
Alicia.
If my room was this messy, you'd kill me, Dad.
I'll be back in half an hour, and we can have dinner together, hm?
Okay.
Ali…
Yeah, we'll eat when you come back.
-Hi, Edwin. Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.
Hi.
Why's The Alligator here?
Last-minute orders.
But he needs to be in maximum security.
They're transferring him first thing tomorrow.
-Hugo Roca? -Yes.
Macarena Montes.
I've been asked to join you as backup for the night.
This is Dr. Elisa Montero.
-A pleasure. Hey. -Hello.
-Good to have you. -Thank you.
Dr. Luis Ortega, please report to the infirmary.
Dr. Luis Ortega.
-Good evening. -Good evening.
Where do we put him?
In a cell in the Green Block until they come and get him.
Okay.
I want him handcuffed the whole way there.
Of course. We prepared cell 101.
That's great.
Transfer the inmates from the adjacent cells.
I want him isolated.
Yes, of course.
BARUCA HILL PSYCHIATRIC CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
Inmates, the time is 7:50 p.m.
Please be prepared to return to your cells.
Don't let any of the other inmates know we have him.
Tell all of our employees to be discreet.
Already covered.
The judge will be here at 8:30 tomorrow morning
to take your statement and transfer you.
Dinner will be brought to your cell at 9:00 p.m.
We can provide you with clean clothes
for your interview with the judge.
Any questions?
This'll be a very long night, Hugo.
-See his eyes? -Yeah, he's dead inside.
-Who told him my name? -What now?
-Told who? -The Alligator. He called me by my name.
It must have been an officer.
Which officer?
I don't know.
Hey, Hugo, we got the notice for Manuela Muñoz.
Let's go bring this to her.
What did he say?
It was gonna be a long night.
BARUCA HILL PSYCHIATRIC CORRECTIONAL FACILITY 12
-Where's Manuela? -In the canteen.
Men and women have separate timetables, but they share a few joint activities.
Therapeutic stuff. Sewing and pottery and such.
But watch out because they'll try to sneak off to the bathroom and, uh,
do stuff.
Do "therapeutic stuff," right?
Good evening.
-Good evening. -Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, boss.
Today, we're happy to announce a new team member.
Macarena Montes. Please welcome her.
Manuela.
I believe your lawyer will be getting in touch with you sometime tomorrow.
It's official.
Your work release.
Thanks.
Congrats, Manuela. You've earned this.
We should celebrate, you know?
Yeah.
Congrats, Manu.
-Awesome! -A work release.
Nuria.
The idea is for you to help out.
That way you can make connections in here.
Nothing, huh?
Well, then. I'll see you after Christmas. Yeah?
All right, enjoy your dinner. See you.
What?
You'll get out.
And where ya gonna go?
What's your problem? You…
Why can't you just be happy for me like a normal person?
'Cause I'm not a normal person. And you're not normal either.
That's right.
-You are such a bully. -No one's talking to you.
-You shouldn't be surprised. -Javi, let's celebrate in peace.
Hm? Come on.
Same every time.
Can someone turn off that shitty music, already!?
Don't listen. Let's just go.
Come on.
We got to do that thing.
We got to finish before you leave this place.
No. I don't want any problems. I have a work release.
-I don't wanna mess that up. -You promised.
You can't back out now, all right?
Okay.
Is this your first post?
Spent two months at Acebuche.
This is different. It's half prison, half hospital.
Bastos.
Yes, Diego.
Cherokee's in the yard with the other inmates.
I'm on my way.
Roger that.
Hugo, I gotta go.
It's Red Block.
Take them with.
Okay. Let's head out.
What is it?
Why would an officer tell him my name?
Do you know much about him?
Just what I've heard in the news.
Mm.
That man is nothing like anyone here.
Not only is he a killer, he's highly intelligent.
He knows how to manipulate and use others.
He said one thing to you, and look at you.
Don't even pay him any attention and don't speak to him.
Not you or anyone.
What'd you do with the kids?
I had to bring Guille and Alicia with me tonight.
Give me a second. Laura was on her way to her mom's.
Hey, it's Laura. Say what you gotta say after the tone.
Laura, it's Dad. Can you call me when you get this message, please?
I love you, scamp.
Diego, we're going to Red Block.
Via the underground passage.
Okay. We'll open up the passage.
Just watch your head.
As you can see, everything's pretty old here.
Baruca's on its last leg.
It's one of the last psychiatric prisons left.
They'll shut it down any day.
This is a maintenance passageway.
It connects the different blocks.
Only prison guards use it.
Best not to have your back turned around here.
Especially around the ones from Red Block.
They're generally well-behaved.
But you never know what they're gonna do.
The Red Block yard. It gives us the most trouble.
No two cell blocks ever mix here.
People, it's time.
Time to go in. Let's go.
Come on, inside, let's go.
-Let's go. -Come on, boss, just a little longer.
Syringe, come on. Rules are rules, all right?
Dammit. Don't be a hardass.
Hey, the birds!
Carmelo!
-Buy me a few minutes more. -Okay.
Martín, what's going on?
Cherokee. I said in your cells at 8:00.
Come on, boss. It's Christmas. And her?
This is Montes. She's new here.
Hey, Montes. You're gonna get eaten alive in here.
Where's Carmelo?
Taking a dump.
Carmelo.
Carmelo!
Son of a bitch.
What was that now?
What did I say?
Go on. Hand me the ball and go in now.
-Just one more. -The ball, Cherokee.
Boss, it's Christmas.
Cherokee. The ball.
-Just one more. -Give me the ball.
-It's Christmas. -Now!
It's Christmas.
You two stay and wait out here.
Way to go, Cherokee!
Well done, brother.
All right Good to have you back.
Over there.
There.
Get in there.
Welcome back, Cherokee!
What's your deal?
Boss…
What was all that?
Huh?
-Hey, let me handle this, okay? -What are you doing?
Yes, we've seen…
Doctor. Doctor.
Hold on. I'll call you back.
Cherokee.
Bastos!
Let's get you to the infirmary.
I'm fine.
I'm fine. I mean it. Relax, man.
Nothing happened here. Right, Bastos?
Cherokee, I have to check those bruises.
Doc, I'm telling you it's nothing. Hm? See?
Dr. Espada, I can explain.
Hey, you okay?
No, of course not. Does it look like I am?
-Where's Hugo? -In Green Block with Dr. Montero.
Why did you let him through?
I tried to stop him.
Let's go.
Hey, listen. Just listen. The present…
I put the present in the closet to hide it from Ariadna.
Listen, the yellow one is hers, okay?
Right.
Bye. I'll see you later, okay?
Ruso?
-Ready? -Yeah.
Richi.
Good to go.
Sara.
On the move.
I've got the jammers all in place, boss.
Okay.
She blames me for everything with her mother.
And have you tried explaining it?
There's nothing there to explain. She knows about it.
But she thinks that it's my fault.
Elisa.
-Doctor. -Bastos attacked another inmate.
-Who? -Cherokee.
-Right… -No, not, "right."
You can't keep looking the other way. He's…
He's an animal.
-I know, but-- -But what?
It's under control.
I hope so. Because if you don't handle it, then I will, all right?
So… It's your choice.
-For fuck's sake… -No, he's right on this.
-He terrifies the patients. -The inmates.
No, the patients.
Remember they're here to get treated, huh? But you guys forget that.
Sorry, I just got a message from Laura.
NEW MESSAGE VIDEO RECEIVED
Dad…
-What is it? -I'm sorry.
They told me that
if you don't do as they say, they'll kill me, Dad.
I'm so sorry about this, Dad.
IF YOU HAND SIMÓN OVER, I DIE
Open the cell!
Where's my daughter?
So then you got the message?
Tell me where my daughter is now!
Hugo, focus.
Where is she?
You're out of time, Hugo.
They're all here.
So they just turned off the lights?
Who turned off the lights?
It's not just here. The whole prison's dark.
What the fuck's going on?
There's no signal.
They've come here for me.
Tell me where she is.
Hugo,
if you will help me
then you'll help her.
There's no signal.
Cell phones aren't working either.
Access booth, Bastos here. Come in.
On your knees! I said on your knees, asshole!
Put your hands on your head.
BARUCA HILL PSYCHIATRIC CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
-Nothing. -What about Admissions?
Fucking move it! Go!
Admissions, Bastos here. Raquel, come in.
-Move. -Oh my God.
Go!
What's happening?
Raquel.
Nothing?
Tell me what's going on.
They're attacking the prison.
They're coming in, Hugo.
-Hugo! -Come on.
What's going on?
What's he doing here?
They're coming for him.
Who is?
I don't know. They have the block surrounded.
There's maybe 15 or 20 of them. I'm not sure.
You think you're breaking out of here, huh?
-It's not a jailbreak. -Then what the hell are you doing?
I wanna talk to Hugo Roca.
Hugo, are you there?
Yeah, I'm here.
You and I need to talk.
Make it quick. The Civil Guard is coming.
No, Hugo, no.
No one's on their way 'cause all the phones are down.
Landlines and cell phones. So you listen carefully.
Here's the situation.
We've come here to take Simón Lago.
You have two options.
You can hand him over, and we'll just leave.
Or you can refuse.
And if that's the case,
we'll come in and take him the hard way.
And believe me,
it won't be pretty.
You have one minute.
Shit.
What do we do?
The door's still shut, Hugo.
Are you gonna risk your life and the life of everyone there
for that son of a bitch?
You know who he is, right?
Do you know the things he's done? Huh?
Is that a no?
It's a no.
Everyone to the canteen.
Come on. Let's go. You heard him, go. Let's move.
Everyone upstairs, come on.
Move it. Let's go. Come on, quickly.
Put this on.
Make them come out.
They come out, we take Simón Lago, and we're outta here.
Get ready.
Who has my daughter?
A few friends.
If you do as they say, she'll be just fine.
When'll they release her?
In the morning.
Once the judge arrives and I can speak with him.
Then we'll be rid of all of our problems.
Come on.
Fuck! What's going on?
Everyone against the wall, please!
Get away from the doors, please. Javi, get away from the door.
Up against the wall! Everyone stay away from the door!
-Is that fire? Is that fire? -Spike, with the others.
Spike, with the others! It's not a fire. Step back with the others.
That's enough. Everybody step back.
Hey, what's going on, huh?
Relax, Javi. Everything's fine. Away from the door.
Everything's fine. Everything's okay. Stay calm…
Hey! There's smoke coming in!
Okay, okay, okay.
Stay calm, please.
Willy.
Admissions!
Raquel.
Is someone gonna tell us what's going on out there?
-Where are the kids? -They're in my office.
-Can you see them? -No.
No.
There are people in Admissions. Oh God.
Hugo.
Hugo, come on.
-They're both fine. -Okay.
I'm sure they're okay.
NO SERVICE MOBILE NETWORK NOT AVAILABLE
Can you call Dad, please?
Hey, Dad. Finally.
We've been waiting for you over half an hour.
Oh, it's just a drill?
He says it's a drill, he'll be back soon, and we should wait here, okay?
Wait. Let me talk to him.
He ended the call.
They're not coming out. What do we do?
You're about to find out.
And who's he?
Simón, the new guy.
-I thought she was the new one. -The other new one.
Who's out there?
We're not sure.
-Why are they attacking us? -To get in here, obviously.
Yeah, to get in for what?
What do you think? To take someone.
-Why, why… -Of course. It's a jailbreak.
Look, we don't know if this is a jailbreak.
For now, we don't know anything.
Help's gonna get here soon.
Hey! What the fuck is going on? You told me that we'd go in,
they'd give us Simón, and we'd be outta here.
It's complicated, Ruso.
Well, why don't we just leave then?
We can't leave without Simón Lago.
But why not?
We just can't.
I want to know exactly what we're putting our necks on the line for
and who the fuck this guy is.
Get those three outside.
No.
Hugo.
-Yes. -I want you to look out the window.
You and all the other guards listening to this.
Willy.
No one leaves here.
Give me Simón Lago.
Hugo.
I'm sorry. I can't give you Simón Lago.
Please, you don't have to do this.
Give me Simón Lago, Hugo.
This is your last chance.
Get ready. We're going in.
Mom loves you so much.
You know that, right?
And I do too.
-I miss her. -I know.
I know you do, scamp.
No, wait.
In the pool you go!
Excuse me…
Ma'am?
Just stay down there.
-Please let me go. -Shut up.
Please, let me out of here.
-Just be still. -I haven't done…
I said don't move. Lie back down.
No, just… I haven't done anything. I don't know why I'm here.
-Quiet! -Please stop the car.
-I said, quiet! -Stop the car, please. Let me go!
-Don't move. Lie down. -Please stop the car.
-Don't move. Lie down! Shut up! -Please let me go!
-Stop the car, I said! Stop the car! -Stay where you are!
Let go!
