A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Nothing is lost when you have the courage to say that everything's lost
and you need to start over.
I'm lost and have the courage to say it, but... I hardly know where to start.
24 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE
We're getting there.
What?
Journey's end.
THE ARRIVAL
There are caps and sunglasses back there. Have them put them on.
Girls. Girls, wake up. We've arrived.
Rubén, my love.
Rubén.
- Everything hurts. - Will Dad be waiting for us there?
Tobías will be waiting for us.
Who's Tobías?
- Hello, I'm Tobías. - Magda.
Are you hungry?
- Okay, we're splitting up now. - What do you mean "we're splitting up"?
You and the boy will go with our blond friend.
- I'll take the girls. - No, no, no!
Hey, calm down, calm down. We're all going to the same place.
- But we shouldn't get there together. - Mom, please.
Come on, you need to trust us.
We've brought you all the way up here safe and sound, haven't we?
Kids, let's do as they say.
What if he's conning us? We're at his mercy.
- No, they won't con us. - How do you know?
Because they still need to get half the payment.
I hope we won't end up in a whorehouse in the Middle East.
That sounds like Taken, right? With Liam Neeson.
- Is this Marbella? - No.
This is Benidorm.
Well, let's get going, blondie. Come on. Let's go!
Any news about my father?
Take this.
From now on, we're a couple.
- Who? - Us, to the rest of the world.
You and me?
Husband and wife. And he's our kid.
We should act friendly.
What about the girls?
The girls will live with your mother and brother
in an apartment across from ours.
Oh, so my brother and mother are already here?
They came with me.
How are they coping with all of this?
Well enough, actually.
But they're asking lots of questions, which is normal.
I've told them you'd answer them all.
Our new home.
- Is this where we'll live? - For now.
Why here?
Because there's more than 500 people living here, coming and going.
Looking for you here would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Hi.
I thought we'd be living in a house.
How long do we need to stay here?
Until there are no traces left.
And how long is that?
Six months.
Maybe more.
Six months locked up? No way.
Listen to me. As long as I'm in charge, you'll do as I say.
Let's set the record straight. I'm paying, so I decide.
All right. You're paying, but I'm responsible for your safety.
- And I'm responsible for my family. - That's what I'm talking about.
Your husband will be looking all over for you.
I know that.
And you know he'll hire people to track you down.
You also know that he's got money to spare to hire the best trackers available.
And there are some good ones.
Good.
For now, nobody's leaving this place for the next 48 hours.
By then, your husband won't have had news about you for three days.
Too much time to maintain hope about finding you alive.
My son has lost his hearing aid.
Once the 48 hours have passed, we'll take care of that.
It's his birthday, and he's missing his basic necessities.
Deaf people attract attention.
They leave traces.
We can't risk it.
Not talking to you, brunette.
- Then who? - I'm talking to her, the cute one.
"Beast" is cool.
- Son. - Where am I?
Relax. You're out of the ICU, back in a room.
- Where? - In Spain.
You've been hospitalized for 24 hours.
Twenty-four hours?
You've been lucky, Alejandro.
You've had three heart attacks in a row. It's a miracle you're alive.
And why are you here?
Somebody had to take care of the situation.
So... So you do know what happened?
Of course. I know everything.
- Where is she? - There's no news.
They were going to ask for a ransom, Mom.
Yes, ten million, but we won't be paying them.
Why won't we pay them?
Because I think this is Velasco's doing.
And if I'm right, then that ransom is just a tale.
He warned us.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
And what happened to his children was an accident, Mom.
- Velasco thinks you caused that accident. - I don't give a f...
No, don't even think about it, son!
You'll stay here for a few days.
No, they're waiting for me to do something for my children, Mom.
I've already done it for you.
I've hired a specialist.
A what?
A hunter.
- Who? - The best one.
MEXICO CITY
- Can I leave my bike here? - Go ahead.
- I'm Pedro, head of security. - Pleased to meet you.
I'd like to begin by inspecting the family car.
It's right here in the back.
Then I want you to show me the whole house.
The kids' bedroom, the master bedroom...
If there's a safe in the house, I need the combination.
I need to speak with my boss first.
Hurry, time is of the essence.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I really am.
How are you?
Good. A bit tired, but I'm fine.
What about the kids? Where are they?
In the apartment across the hall.
I have to speak with you before you see them.
Okay.
Okay, tell me what we're doing here.
Hiding.
From your husband?
He thinks we've been kidnapped.
I know, Mom. I know, it's madness. But I couldn't take it any longer.
I've been putting up with this day in and day out, one year to the next.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
I see.
Wouldn't it have been easier to just get divorced?
Last time I asked him, they had to remove my spleen.
- What are you doing? - I'm glad to see you.
Go back to bed, Ale.
- No. Is Ricardo down there? - Yes.
- Call him, please. - I'll tell him, but please lie down.
- I need to go to Mexico. - How will you fly like this?
Fuck this! Just tell him to get in here!
- Hey, hey. Don't yell at me. - Then don't tell me what to do.
Ricardo, Mr. Guzmán's calling you.
- Hi. - Sir.
- Do you have your cell phone? - Yes, sir.
Perfect. Any news from your colleague?
No, nothing. He's missing, sir.
Any calls from the house?
Pedro has called several times about the man your mother sent there.
Okay, give me the phone.
Wait for me downstairs with the car ready.
- Can you help me? - No.
I won't be an accessory to this nonsense.
I don't know why I'm still with you.
Listen to me...
I do.
No. You don't.
To know, you need to stop and think.
And you never have the time.
Do we know anything about my family?
Nothing, sir. It's good to hear from you.
Is the guy my mom hired there?
Yes, sir. He's been checking the SUV for an hour.
How does he look?
He's still working around here. He looks very professional.
Listen, were the instructions where I told you they were?
Yes, sir.
We went where you told us to go, the Ixtapaluca drive-in cinema.
The car was inside. There was Gaby, the therapist.
At first, I thought she was dead, but she wasn't.
They had left an envelope addressed to you.
We called you before opening it, but you didn't pick up.
- Are you going to kill me? - No, no! Everything's okay.
The girl was really scared.
She kept asking, "Where are the children?"
Since you didn't pick up, I decided to open the envelope.
Inside, there was a Christmas card like the ones you used last Christmas,
and a message in the back...
ten million and an account number.
- Was there no meeting point or anything? - No, sir.
It just prompted you to stay by the phone, saying you'd receive news.
Put the therapist on.
She's not here.
- Why isn't she there? - She's missing, sir.
I walked upstairs to her room a while ago and she had taken all her things.
- Love, love, love. - There's nothing.
Where is she?
MEXICO CITY
- My love! How are you? - Where were you?
I've been trying to contact you for hours.
I had class in the morning. I just got your messages five minutes ago.
How are you?
You're here now, okay? Calm down.
You're all right.
I thought they'd kill me.
But I don't get it. You told me they had been kidnapped.
Yes.
It's horrible.
But there's been no news about the kidnapping.
They want to keep it a secret.
- Why? - I don't know.
That's a hell of a scoop.
- What? - Gaby, I'd love to run this story.
No, please!
Those people are very powerful.
Precisely, Gaby!
I've got lots of money.
- Dollars. - Did you steal that?
No. No, I didn't steal them.
We should disappear for a while.
So, we're all in danger, your brother and myself, too.
- Well, will you help me or not? - Yes, of course I'll help you.
At least indulge me and let me say you picked the wrong man.
My father was wrongly picked, too, wasn't he?
You could have gone far in life.
Well, as you can see, I've made it here.
But stop, please.
I don't need a teacher now, I need a mother.
They go together.
I must get out of this mess at all costs.
- I'm going to call Dad. - What?
- We need to talk to him. - How?
I'll go to those boys' apartment and ask for a cell phone.
- Yeah? - Okay.
- We'll deal with these guys. - Okay, let's go.
Come in.
Simón.
You're going to get mad, but I ran into a problem back in Madrid.
A big problem, with one of the Mexican's bodyguards.
He came after me, he followed me and I had to...
Don't fuck with me.
I swear it was self-defense. He was going to kill me.
I made it clear to you.
I know, but he showed up at the mother's house.
Okay, what about the body? What did you do with it?
I left it there, in the bathtub.
Then you're leaving for Madrid tonight.
- I need a pharmacy. - What for?
Girl stuff.
What the fuck?
What's wrong? What is it?
- Where's your sister? - In the bathroom.
- Fuck. - Go check.
Respect her privacy!
- You're starting to get on my nerves. - I want to talk to my dad.
The girl's not in the bathroom.
Where did she go?
Where is she?
I'll go look for her.
But you must drink first.
I don't drink.
Give it to me.
Who's the owner?
Come on.
Girl! Who is he, your father?
Worse.
Let me go. Tell the old man not to touch me again.
- Where's your sister? - She went to look for a cell phone.
Because she's had enough, and so have I.
Grandma!
Sweetie!
You're hurting me! Let go of me!
Everyone back inside!
Dad doesn't know anything about this, does he?
What? What's going on?
Why isn't he here? Why can't I call him?
- That's enough! - Say something!
I'm to blame here.
I've been putting this off, but I'm through.
You deserve to know.
Get back inside, all three of you, come on.
Truth is, I don't know where to begin.
Let's see, where to begin?
I'll start by saying your father has many faces.
Rubén, follow me.
The one you're familiar with is the face of the father who's devoted to his family.
But there's more.
There's the thief, the speculator,
the exploiter, the corrupt.
He's able to eliminate anyone who goes against him.
There's also the batterer, the adulterer.
The one who has put every one of us in danger for money.
Do you remember the explosion?
That was the last straw.
That's when I told myself, "Magda, that does it.
This is real. They're coming after your children.
And if you keep tolerating this, you'll regret it the rest of your life."
Your dad...
won't call.
He doesn't know anything.
We ran away from him.
And if he finds out I'm the one behind this... there'll be no forgiveness.
Are you done?
What you say about my father is not true. I know him.
No, nobody knows your father.
And who knows you?
You fooled us to bring us here, Mom.
I'm sorry, but it had to seem real.
And now you want to lock us up?
I'm just trying to protect you!
I had... We had a great life with Dad.
My dad loves us, and he loves us very much.
At his side, we have everything, Mom.
Yes, you have everything you wish for except the life you deserve.
Do you think he'll let you choose anything?
You'll live the life he's prepared for you.
He'll tell you who to marry.
He'll force you to work with him.
To you, Rubén... he'll make you do terrible things.
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
No, Rubén, no! No, you hear me? I won't let you raise your hand to me.
You hear me?
Not to me nor anyone else.
The family tradition of hitting women ends here.
I need to take a shower.
We'll continue later.
The three of you are grown-ups now.
If there was abuse back home, I'm sure you realized it.
And you kept silent, didn't you?
Breaking news coming in.
The three male children...
CRASH IN TOLUCA
...of the well-known businessman Vicente Velasco have passed away in a plane crash.
The private aircraft in which they were travelling fell suddenly,
caught fire, then exploded at 24 km...
Do you have anything to do with this?
Who do you think I am?
You said the car bomb was Velasco's doing and that you'd make him pay.
Jeez, Magda, enough, please!
According to the preliminary forensic report...
That man's coming after your children. Can't you see?
I don't have anything to do with this.
But he'll believe you do!
And what do you believe?
Swear to me this is not your doing.
You get crazier every day.
You're the crazy one.
Didn't you just hear it was an accident?
- What are you doing? - I'm not going to the dinner.
Yes, you are! And what should I tell them?
Make whatever excuse you want. I'm not going.
That you're not there because you think I'm a murderer?
Why?
Why do you always bring out the worst in me?
Someday, when you're sleeping, I'll suffocate you with a pillow.
Get yourself dolled up, my love.
Otherwise, I'll break this mirror with your face, okay?
Do it.
If that'll make you feel manlier, do it.
I know what you want.
You want us both crazy, both sick, you and I,
playing to see who hurts the most.
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to all of you
30 HOURS AFTER THE ESCAPE
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to all of you
Happy birthday to you
Yeah!
Won't you blow out the candles?
Won't you make a wish?
I wish to not be here.
What is this, a birthday or a funeral?
What's the problem? Huh?
- Don't you like it here? - Let it be. They're not in the mood.
- I can see that. Look at these faces. - Edu!
Come on, kids, you should take life... as it comes.
How would you feel at their age?
Me? At their age? In this teenage paradise?
Happy.
Besides, you can live perfectly without a father.
Trust me.
And why should I care about what you say?
- Pau! - What?
I mean, you are my uncle, but I've barely seen you a couple of times in my life.
You don't know me.
Poor rich girl.
Do I really need to share an apartment with this character?
Look, your father's a son of a bitch.
You'll have to live with it whether you like it or not.
I won't let you talk that way about my dad!
And you...
You don't say anything.
This sucks, and you've gone mad!
Very well, very well. You're such a big help.
Don't worry, I'm going, too, so...
Where?
I don't know. Anywhere with more cheerful people.
It's our first night out.
The first one's always tough.
Do you think they got it?
They're smart. Of course they got it.
But admitting or accepting it is another matter.
I know. I try to put myself in their shoes and...
You can't put yourself in their shoes.
You must stay in yours, always.
Ready for anything.
I'd like a hug.
Hi.
- Has the fever gone down? - 38.5.
You won't save your family by killing yourself.
Don't worry.
Mom, did you close the deal with Andrés?
Yes, but it wasn't easy.
So, what did the other investors say?
We'll have dinner with them tomorrow evening here at the hotel.
That way, it'll be easier for you.
A dinner, in these conditions?
I'm perfectly well, my love.
Which means I'll feel better in the morning.
What you should do is go back to the hospital, Alejandro.
- Your fever's not breaking. - I'll take care of him. I'm his mother.
Is that so? Then bring the hospital here or whatever.
I know you do this in good faith, but try not to raise your voice to me.
I'm an old woman, but I'm not deaf.
It's the man I told you about. He's going to give you a Skype call.
Go for a walk, miss.
Love, could you pass me my laptop, please?
- Alejandro? - Yes.
We finally meet. Nice to meet you.
First, I'd like to tell you how sorry I am for what you're going through.
- It must be terrible. - Yes, yeah.
This is fucked up.
I know you're recovering, so I'll just take two minutes of your time.
Look, I need the code to your safe.
It's in the desk...
In the desk to the right of the bed there's a Club America card.
The membership number is the code.
Don't worry, I will take a look in front of your trusted man.
I have a question. Any leads?
More than leads. I say we have a new approach.
Although, it's too soon to say yet.
Listen, after 32 hours, do you think my family's still alive?
I don't want to give you false hope, but I think so.
In fact, I'm increasingly convinced of it.
The alleged kidnappers haven't contacted you anymore, have they?
No, not today.
I do have some calls from yesterday, but not today.
How's your relationship with your wife?
You know...
I love my children.
No, no, I asked about your wife Magda. I didn't ask about your children.
Magda and I have been married for 20 years.
I see.
Please, ignore the staff's gossip.
Look, if you're not honest with me, we won't solve this matter.
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand. But why do you ask me about Magda?
Because it's very possible there's no kidnap here.
Magda.
Thank you.
You've got some nerve showing up here.
My deepest condolences.
Deepest condolences?
You have my deepest sympathies.
How can you look me in the eye?
You killed my children.
Velasco, I won't put up with that slander.
Criminals.
Both you and your son.
Madam...
God is witness.
And he knows I'm no liar.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
It says so in the Bible.
And that's what I'll do.
- Paulina! Wait. - What? What? It's now or never.
But I'm not sure.
Don't play dumb. You've seen things, just like I have.
- Couples argue. - I'm not talking about arguments.
I don't care. I'm going.
Where to? You don't have any money.
I don't know. I'll make some.
How?
I don't know! I can take care of myself.
Like this, without bodyguards?
I'm not scared.
Have you thought about how this will affect Mom?
He'll forgive her. I'll make sure of that.
You're wrong.
It's the other way around. She must forgive him.
Are you coming or not?
Can't sleep?
I don't even remember the last time I slept for eight hours straight.
Hey, Tobías, since we're going to live together for a while,
I'd like you to teach my kids how to defend themselves.
You're a security expert.
You must know some defensive techniques, don't you?
- Yeah, I know some. - Yeah.
Okay. Listen, how did you get into this line of work?
There's money in it.
Were you a cop, like Simón?
No.
No what? You don't want to talk, is that it?
The less you know, the better for you, Magda.
Look, no offense, but as of yesterday, I'm the one deciding what's best for me.
I've had all sorts of odd jobs.
I was even a trapeze artist once for Cirque du Soleil.
I was a catcher.
But I broke my arm in four places.
- Right. - And that was it.
You being here reassures me.
But I want to be in control.
Sure, you're paying.
Right. I'm paying, so I decide.
That's it.
Magda, I'm leaving for Madrid in a bit.
I need to resolve an urgent matter. It'll just be for an hour.
An urgent matter?
Yes. Something unexpected came up.
"Something unexpected" is not the kind of thing that will help me sleep.
I have...
sleeping pills.
Hey!
Come with us, babe!
Pau! Let her go!
Hey! I said let her go!
Let her go, moron!
Scram.
Calm down, sweetie. It's okay.
There, there.
It's okay. Relax.
I could get you both some gin and tonic to put you to sleep like angels.
Come on, Pau.
But you know what's happening with our minibar.
Start with the woman and the boy. They're in room 1206.
- Hi. He's Miquel. - The stylist.
Oh, come in. Come in.
Hi, prince!
Good morning. We must go to the bank.
It's eight o'clock.
All that money can't stay in your account. It's too risky.
I see. But I don't understand why nobody called from the bank.
Because we encrypted your account.
It doesn't show up. It's like it's disappeared.
But I checked my balance at the ATM.
Yes, of course, you checked your balance at the ATM,
but now you must accompany us in person to the bank.
Right, but... what about my PIN? How did you get it?
We tried using your grandchildren's birthdates.
We were lucky, and it worked.
Damn modern world!
The most difficult part of the whole operation
was to get that money to Spain, so...
Let's go.
BOARDING PASS ALICANTE - COPENHAGEN
Put a chair in the center of the room, where there's more light,
and papers on the floor.
You wanted it black, right?
It'll look great on you.
Clau, Claudia!
- Something's going on. - What? No.
- Something's going on. - I'm sleeping. Go away.
Pau, Pau, Pau.
Pau, the man's leaving. The man's leaving.
Are we going?
Where to?
- Simón. - Go ahead, blondie.
- The body's gone. - What?
The bodyguard's not here.
Fucking A!
The only explanation I can come up with
is that he wasn't completely dead, you know?
I'd laugh if I wasn't so eager to crush your head.
What should I do?
I don't know, Tobías.
This is your problem, not mine.
- All right, should I come back, then? - No, no, no.
Go to the husband's hotel, check if they have news about him.
The hotel?
At least this way, the trip won't have been for nothing.
Fuck!
- Nora! Are you ready? - Yes, yes.
- You got everything? ID card, everything? - Yes, yes.
- Isn't my daughter coming with us? - No, there's no need.
We'll deposit the money in the company's account in your daughter's name.
Everything's set.
But somebody will accompany us: this young man.
No.
- Yes. - No, no, no.
Your mother said we should go get a hearing aid.
No.
Rubén, Rubén, the hearing aid is very important.
Come on.
Read my lips.
If you keep giving me trouble, your grandmother will have a hard time.
Say "yes" if you've understood me.
Yes.
Let's go.
Your new look.
We must take care of your kids now.
- What did they tell you about me? - Nothing.
Nothing?
I don't ask. It's better not to know.
Do you do this on a regular basis?
Whenever someone needs to become someone else,
you can't even guess the number of people who want to disappear.
There's a lot of important people we believe to be dead, and they are not.
Hey, but I'm not involved in anything illegal or dirty, you know?
You have your reasons.
I have a business. As long as I get paid.
You'll have your papers in order in four days.
Then you're free.
Nora, weren't you wearing sunglasses?
Did you leave them at the bar?
Possibly.
You're coming with me.
I'll shoot you right here.
Did you get that?
To the airport, please.
