[atmospheric music playing]
[Cabrera sighs]
[computers beeping]
I guess after watching that little monster for so long,
you must think you know him better than anyone, right?
The monitor on his ankle shows his heart rate,
which tells us that he's relaxed right now.
Believe me, nothing's gonna happen.
So listen, I can't stay too long.
I only came because I... Well, the way I left earlier was rude.
And I wanted to explain.
Sit over there.
[steady heart rate beeping]
[tense music playing]
[Marta] This place looks the same.
Well, almost. [chuckles softly]
I still remember when I used to give your sister piano lessons.
[steady beeping continues]
[Cabrera] Where is he going?
[suspenseful music playing]
He took something from the box.
[camera whirring]
Letters from admirers.
Like you.
So many.
Don't know why I thought that I was the only one.
[chuckles softly]
Stupid.
[heart rate beeping speeds up]
[Sergio] I only replied to you.
Because I knew that you knew my sister.
Yeah.
[heart rate beeping grows faster]
[tense music playing]
But you tricked me.
What do you mean, tricked you?
[beeping faster]
[Cabrera] That's a knife.
Now can we start worrying?
This is Cabrera. The subject has a knife.
Enter the building. Get ready to intervene.
No. Nothing's gonna happen.
[beeping continues]
[Sergio] You gave me her number.
Yeah.
Yeah, but Noa doesn't answer.
How long since you last spoke to her?
[gasps]
[inhales]
Quite a while.
[beeping faster]
[tense music continues]
[Sergio exhales]
Okay, so you tricked me.
I guess she changed her number.
Sergio, I just wanted to help you.
[beeping continues]
[Sergio breathing heavily]
[tense music builds]
[beeping faster]
[breathing heavily]
Please just wait.
There's something I need to show you.
[tense music recedes]
[beeping continues]
[Cabrera] What the hell?
Okay, false alarm.
Get back to your positions. Stay on guard.
- [Sergio] You're getting me wet! - [Noa] Good, get wet!
[Noa giggles then screams playfully]
[Sergio laughs]
[Sergio] Hey!
[camera whirring]
[Sergio laughs]
- [Sergio] Come on. - [Noa yells]
He wasn't feeling angry.
He was nervous about sharing a secret.
- [Sergio laughing over video] - [Noa] No! No fair!
- [Noa yelling playfully] No, not my phone! - [mother] Play nice with your sister.
[gentle music playing]
[Sergio] It's fine, Noa, come here.
-No, she won't. It'll be all right. - [Noa] Mom's gonna be mad.
- [mother] Sergio? - [Sergio] It's okay.
-Look what I found! - [Noa] Let me see. Is it for me?
[Sergio] Hey, gimme that!
- [laughing] - [Sergio] What now? Huh? What now?
[Sergio chuckles ironically]
[giggling]
[mother] Enough, Sergio! You're getting sand everywhere.
No, it's nothing, Mama. We're fine.
[phone chimes]
Noa recorded everything.
Usually, it was the hard stuff, but sometimes...
She was the only one who didn't see me as a monster.
Don't I count?
[inhales]
[exhales]
[Sergio exhales]
You have to help me find her.
[tense music playing]
Will you help me?
[phone ringing]
[inhales]
It's my mother.
No.
Marta, Marta, he's opening up. You can't leave now, Marta.
[Marta] Sergio, it's getting late.
I have to go.
Marta, no.
Not now, Marta, no.
[door closes]
[brooding music playing]
That wasn't her mother.
MISSED CALL ENEKO
- [clicks tongue] Fucking child. - [Cabrera exhales]
- Her boyfriend? - [Ana] Mm.
[Cabrera sighs]
[atmospheric music playing]
[atmospheric music continues]
[exhales]
[church organ music playing]
[Silvia] Welcome.
Blessings.
Blessings, brother. Beautiful day the Lord gave us.
Where do I start?
Please, come with me.
Let's go this way.
[Natanael] What do plants need to survive, hmm?
[Sergio] Mm... water?
[Natanael] Mm-hmm.
Light.
[Natanael] Mm-hmm.
Soil.
[Natanael] Mm-hmm.
These ones don't have soil, but still, look how pretty they are.
So they'll die.
No, because we put their food into the water.
The question's not whether they're able to survive.
What matters is whether these plants are happy living without soil.
You've always... been surrounded by very fertile soil.
You had a family.
Who do you have left?
My sister, Noa.
[Natanael] Good. Who else?
My grandparents and an aunt.
Right.
[atmospheric music playing]
Write me a list.
Why? They're not gonna forgive me.
Well, maybe.
What matters is that you have the guts, courage, humility
to be able to face them and say,
"I'm sorry."
Then, you'll have to do the most important part.
Hmm?
Begin to forgive yourself.
YOU GAVE ME HER NUMBER. BUT NOA DOESN'T ANSWER.
[intriguing music playing]
I GUESS SHE CHANGED HER NUMBER. SERGIO, I JUST WANTED TO HELP YOU.
[Greta] Shouldn't you be following Sergio?
With all the cameras we have access to in there,
if he wants to kill again, we'll see it live.
- This is last night? - Yeah.
[Sergio, over video] You tricked me.
[Marta] What do you mean, tricked you?
[Greta] Shit.
Fucking psycho.
And this girl really volunteered to work with us on this?
That's what Ana said.
Jesus Christ.
By the way, where is she?
No idea.
- Not having breakfast with her family. - [chuckles]
- Or going shopping. - [chuckles]
[techno music playing]
[exhales]
- What d'you want? - Some T-shirts.
Without any logos or anything.
And for you to explain why you left in such a rush last night.
My boyfriend called.
- He doesn't know anything. - Okay, pretend, then.
Marta,
you just wasted a great opportunity. He was opening up to you.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but I'm done with this.
I was really freaked out.
We won't let him do anything.
Not unless you want it.
[sighs]
I don't want anything.
Don't you understand I'm about to move in with my boyfriend?
Why don't you call one of his other admirers?
He's got a lot of them.
You were there.
You saw it.
From inches away.
How emotional he was after watching the video.
Do you really think Sergio's a psychopath?
He is good. I know that.
Well, then help me prove it.
Marta.
I need your help in getting me Noa's cell phone.
There are more videos on it.
And they could be key to understanding what happened.
- I don't know how to. - It's very easy.
I'll teach you.
What if I get caught?
No. You're clever.
He won't catch you.
And besides, he likes you.
He likes you a lot.
But after this, I'm done, okay?
Just one more thing.
The shirts I mentioned? I really do need some shirts.
[ironically] Hard at work, huh?
Mm.
You're the guy who killed his parents, aren't you?
Easy, man.
If mine hadn't abandoned me when I was six,
I probably would've ended up killing them too.
What's that?
They told me that you're not much of a talker.
Okay. All right, then.
Listen.
I got a friend who lives in Valencia, and I'm gonna go see her.
- If God loves me, he'll love me there. - [tense music playing]
Wanna come?
[Natanael] Sergio!
It's not a very good time for girlfriends, Sergio.
What did that girl say to you?
Don't know. I wasn't listening.
Good.
Well, come on, let's go.
Our work isn't finished yet.
Hmm?
Where are we going?
To ask for forgiveness. Yes?
[tense music continues]
Come on.
Go, go, go, go.
REAL ESTATE
[tense music continues]
Hi.
What a surprise.
You're not working?
I was, but I... didn't feel well.
Got a fever?
No.
I just-- My head hurts, that's all.
[woman] Hello? Yeah, sure, no problem.
I'm going home.
Do you want a ride?
I have a couple more showings, but I don't mind driving you.
Mm, I don't want to bother you.
I'll call you, okay?
[door opens]
[atmospheric music playing]
[sighs]
OUR DREAM
What the hell?
Go away or I'll call the police.
Don't be scared.
I just want to see you. And my grandparents.
You don't have grandparents.
Or an aunt.
Or parents. Now please leave.
Okay. Okay, fine, I'll go.
I just want to apologize.
A bit late for that, don't you think?
I've changed.
- All right? And I'm sorry. - But what the hell do you want?
Money?
Don't you have enough with the apartment?
And the two pensions you're getting for killing your parents?
The Lord brought me here.
I want to apologize.
Well, I don't forgive you.
The Lord?
[scoffs]
Enough. Get lost. Get out of here.
Just tell me one thing.
Where is Noa?
I haven't seen her since what you did.
- Why not? - She lives with another family.
What did you think?
That I'd take on your grandparents and a child I barely knew?
My sister adopted her, I didn't.
It was stupid.
But I understood.
She just wanted a child that loved her.
Don't look at me like that.
Go away.
[dramatic music playing]
You're living off my grandparents.
And they couldn't stand you.
It's good to know that I improved someone's life.
[dramatic music continues]
[Greta] It's Marta. Looks like they're meeting.
- [computer chimes] - Okay. I'll tell Ana.
- Ana, we have some news. - [Ana] Come in.
We have--
Whoa...
[Ana] What's going on?
Uh, nothing.
Marta texted him. They're meeting.
Okay.
[intriguing music playing]
Why is he there?
[Greta] I'm sure he followed her.
Stop it.
I went for a walk to try to get rid of my headache.
Do you not recognize that guy over there?
What guy? No.
That's Sergio Ciscar.
He murdered his parents.
- What? - That's him.
- No, it isn't. - It is. He's free again.
Igor told me.
Everyone's posting about it on social media.
Shit, Marta, he was right next to you. He could've done something to you.
Let's go. Yeah?
Ana, I think we should forget about Marta.
Now that Sergio knows she has a boyfriend, and she's lied...
I don't know.
Sergio's not a psychopath. He's capable of feeling empathy.
What do you think?
Now that he knows she has a boyfriend, he'll kill her?
He'll throw her off the balcony?
Whoa, take it easy.
[scoffs]
Didn't know you were a groupie.
[brooding music playing]
Come on.
[Natanael] Nobody disappears like that just overnight.
It's impossible.
If she's not at the bus stop, then she must be at the train station.
If not, call the juvenile center.
None of her stuff is here. Do me a favor, call the center.
Sergio, come here for a minute.
Tell me something. That girl you met, the new one.
By any chance, did she talk about leaving here or anything like that?
No.
Are you sure?
Because lying is one of those awful sins that are really difficult to tolerate.
And so is lust.
Well, I see you've been reading the Bible, very good.
And by the way, did you write that list yet?
It's missing some names.
Come on.
[pensive music playing]
Walking this path of contrition and repentance with the Lord...
it's not only about apologizing to the living,
but to the ones who are gone, even though they can't reply.
To the dead.
To your parents, Sergio.
[clattering]
If you need to get water, you can get it from the fountain next to the gate.
Is this because of her?
Sergio.
Because she left before you gave her your fatherly guidance?
"A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and yet a gossip
separates the best of friends."
Proverbs, 14:28.
Sergio, you don't have many friends left.
I would take care of them if I were you.
We'll talk more tomorrow.
[Ana] He's far from home.
Do we know what he's doing there?
No idea.
He left the greenhouse around midday, to go to the cemetery,
and then he went straight there.
[doorbell ringing]
[brooding music playing]
Are you here for the 4:30 showing?
Okay, then, so there are four rooms, plenty of light.
The... living room and the foyer are both south-facing.
And, well, as-- as you can see, the views are amazing.
[loud clang]
[brooding music continues]
[Eneko] It has 1,290 usable square feet.
It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
[loud clang]
So this first room here is... ideal to set up as a home office or...
or a place to work.
[loud clang]
Well, then. Let's keep going?
And then we have the master bedroom,
with an en-suite bathroom.
As you can see, it's very spacious.
[loud clang]
[brooding music rising]
[Marta] Eneko?
Eneko?
Yeah! Yeah, in here.
What are you still doing here?
I went to your agency, but they said you hadn't come back from a showing.
[dark sting]
[brooding music builds]
[brooding music climaxing]
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
What is this? Are you crazy?
You wanna tell him?
What the fuck is he talking about?
What the fuck is he talking about?!
[dramatic music playing]
[Ana] There he is.
That's Eneko and Marta.
[Ana] Mm-hmm.
[inaudible]
[Greta] They look like they're arguing, right?
[sighs]
Call Marta.
Get her here.
Okay, so if you get two, we can put your name on them in any color,
or we can print a design for you.
- Perfect. - Yeah?
- It's for a friend. - [giggles]
A present for being a good guy.
His name's Sergio.
Sergio Ciscar?
He has friends?
Yeah, he has a few.
And a girlfriend.
Well, that makes more sense.
You visited him at the juvenile center a couple times.
No.
No?
[inhales]
Well, you seem to know a lot of details for someone who's never visited him.
THE HOUSE OF CASES
[Beatriz] I want nothing to do with him. Is this because of Charlie?
[Cabrera] I don't know, you tell me.
I started going there to see Charlie, my first boyfriend.
And...
When I went, Sergio always talked to me.
Didn't he tell you anything about his parents or his life before that?
No.
He just said I was pretty, stuff like that.
He kept it up, until I dumped Charlie.
And?
Then all the problems started.
[footsteps approaching]
[Greta] Here.
Even if you don't see it, he did that for you.
He believes that you don't want to be with your boyfriend, you have doubts,
and that he helped you to decide.
In his way.
Ana.
I have a life.
I have a boyfriend, and I want to move in with him.
And when this is over, you can do that.
And what do I say now?
Ask him to wait 'cause I'm busy being a spy?
What did he say when he cheated on you?
[slams cup]
Marta, you're a good person. And so is Sergio.
In spite of what he did, he has a good heart.
You know it and so do I.
He's just been released and it's true,
he was selfish,
but just like most men,
he didn't think of you,
only himself.
But it's because he needs you.
[tense music playing]
Come on.
[Marta] He feels very alone.
Right?
[Ana] He does.
Now, can you get me those videos?
[techno music playing]
[sniffles]
[footsteps approaching]
[ringing tone]
[suspenseful music playing]
[doorbell rings]
[dark music playing]
[Sergio] Did you talk to him?
[chuckles softly]
I should've told you about my boyfriend.
But it's too complicated. I never expected any of this to happen.
I need some time.
You don't owe me anything.
[Marta exhales]
[atmospheric music playing]
[tense music playing]
[taps keyboard]
[Greta] Someone's approaching the door.
- Shit! - [man] No fucking way.
- [knocks on door] - Yes?
Ana, it's Marta's boyfriend.
Pretty sure he's drunk.
[Ana] Fuck. Just what we need.
Call Cabrera, okay? Just in case.
- Mikel. - Yeah, I'll go.
- Be careful. - All right.
[door closes]
Wait, there's--
Maybe it's a little too bright in here?
[Sergio] One second.
[suspenseful music playing]
Nothing.
What's she doing?
She's looking for Noa's phone.
[Ana] Hurry up, hurry up. Come on.
This time he's gonna catch her.
[suspenseful music continues]
He's there, he's there, he's there.
[suspenseful music recedes]
[tense music playing]
I was looking for Noa's phone.
I'd like to watch some more videos.
[inhales]
Clever girl.
[Noa, over video] A new adventure awaits Mr. Pumpkin.
Oh, no. Here comes one of his greatest enemies.
The fight is inevitable.
Good morning.
Thanks to his nerves of steel,
Mr. Pumpkin manages to resolve the situation.
Now let me show you something supercool that I have in my room.
[tranquil music playing]
Hello!
[Sergio] Noa!
[Noa] It looks like my brother, Sergio, is also awake.
Let's see what happens.
[intercom ringing]
PAUSE
[intercom ringing]
[tranquil music stops]
- [intercom ringing] - [sniffs]
[intercom ringing]
[Eneko] She's in there, isn't she?
Come down here if you have the balls, you son of a bitch!
Come down or I'll burn this place to the ground!
Sergio, don't.
[tense music playing]
[phone ringing]
[whispering] Answer it, Marta. Answer it, answer it.
Answer it.
Download the videos. It's the best chance we'll get.
What if something happens?
Nothing's gonna happen, it's under control.
Trust me.
[tense music continues]
[Greta] Shit, it's a trap.
Shit. Shit.
Mikel, are you there?
How many are there?
[Mikel] Four, I think.
DATA TRANSFER
COPY IN PROGRESS
Very good.
We're receiving them.
- [Noa] Aha! -What?
-Am I doing it wrong? - [Noa] You should know how to shave.
[evocative music playing]
- [Sergio] You should shave too, I think. - [Noa] Hey! What are you talking about?
[evocative music rising]
Mikel, look out, okay?
What do you want?
[chuckles] So you do speak.
[Sergio, over Noa's video] Catch me if you can. I'm running!
You're getting cocky?
[evocative music continues]
[Eneko] Son of a bitch!
Ana. What's going on? Tell me what's happening.
[Ana] Nothing at all.
We've got it all under control, and if something happens, we'll intervene.
You don't need to worry, Marta.
Keep going.
[Marta exhales]
[grunting]
[groans]
Ana, they're gonna kill him.
[grunting]
[young man 1] Hold him!
[grunting]
[young men grunting]
Mikel, call the police.
Don't you think the neighbors already have by now, with this noise?
Well, I don't care, just call them.
-Oh, yeah? Mom said! - [giggles]
[laughing]
[evocative music continues]
[Ana] Marta, keep going.
We're almost there.
Keep going.
[evocative music soaring]
Ana, will you please stop this.
- [Sergio grunting] - [Eneko] How do you like that, huh?
[beeping]
[evocative music stops]
Marta, we've got them.
[exhales]
[tense music playing]
[grunting]
- Mikel, try to stop this. -What? Am I supposed to do it by myself?
[Greta] I don't fucking know, just try.
-The police are almost there. - Shit.
- [Eneko] Fucking my girl? - [Mikel] Hey, hey! Leave him alone!
- Let him go! - [young man 2] Shut up!
- I called the police. - [siren blaring]
- [young man 1] Go, go! - [young man 2] Let's go!
[young man 3] Police! Come on!
[police siren blaring]
Hey.
[exhales]
[Marta] Sergio!
Get off!
Sergio! Sergio!
[police siren blaring]
Help, please!
Sergio, are you okay? Please.
[Marta breathing sharply] Help!
Help, please!
[tense music continues]
[Marta] I told you.
Sergio!
Sergio...
Look at me.
[tense music continues]
Can you make sure Mikel gets the device back from Marta?
[tense music continues]
