A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
["La Montaña" by Sara Montiel playing]
You could make a lot of money selling this place.
I'm not selling this house.
I learnt to swim here with Malpica.
Why don't you go into town to buy something? There's nothing here.
In the meantime, I'll get the house ready.
Sure.
Whatever you need.
[Alano] Genaro Mendieta, 37 years old, barman.
TWO DAYS BEFORE
No one knew him well.
No one knows if he had any enemies, no one saw anything strange,
blah, blah, blah.
Who discovered the body?
The manager.
A woman called Camino.
She heard the shot, came in, and only saw the body.
Make sure you get details from everyone.
Those we can't question here can go to the station to give a statement.
Vinuesa, I've given the order.
What is it you're looking for exactly?
[Vinuesa] The bullet didn't stay in his neck.
We've got it.
[theme music playing]
[Vinuesa] Did you see anybody leave the storeroom?
- No. - [Vinuesa] Try to remember.
When you were in the hallway, maybe? See anyone?
Did you see anyone else in the near vicinity?
Tell me about your relationship with Genaro Mendieta.
I only started here two days ago. I didn't know him.
- Can I go? - Yeah.
We'll be continuing this at the station.
- [breathes deeply] - [door opens]
I don't even know what I said.
Well, that's it. It's finished.
Is it finished?
It's only just begun.
He said he's going to call me again.
Who knows what will happen after that? There will be a trial.
I don't know how to lie.
I'm just not like you!
There's no reason for a trial.
And if there is, it'll be me.
But they suspect me.
If I get accused, what are you going to do with Mateo?
- Huh? - Please, lower your voice.
And try to stay level-headed.
Why don't you go to the dressing room, eh?
Don't worry about anything. Just have a lie-down.
I'll say you're not to be bothered. Hmm?
This city has done nothing but punish us.
And I warned you about it.
- Uncle Mateo. - [Mateo gasps]
Is that blood?
What are you doing awake now?
[Mirta coughs]
More.
[Hache] What are you doing?
Oh, Hache.
Take her away.
- [man] Come on. - I can do it on my own! Okay.
There are people who are feeling unwell. How much longer is this going to take you?
We're just finishing.
I'll get you, Hache.
I'm in no hurry.
[softly] I know all about the farmhouse.
What did you talk about?
He wanted to know what my relationship with you is.
And…
I told him I wanted to buy this place, and you don't want to sell it.
[in Italian] Calm down.
[in English] Hey, what are you doing? No one can go in.
[in Italian] My wife is inside. I have to get in.
[in English] I don't understand. You can't go in.
My wife works inside. I have to go in.
Who is your wife?
Her name is Camino.
She works here.
[Alano] Your attention, please.
We're going to open the doors.
You can all go home.
Everyone will be allowed to leave but do it slowly.
[Vinuesa] This place will remain closed until further notice.
Right, let's get going. Just do what you're told. Let's go.
- Do you want me to stay? - Just leave.
What's the matter?
Why are you here?
Helena told me to come here. How is she?
[in Italian] How's your sister? Does no one care how Camino is?
- [in English] I'm not letting you stay. - It's just for tonight.
It's better for everyone if I keep my head down.
Tina, my love, go back to bed, come on.
I didn't mean to wake her. We were just playing.
[scoffs] This kid is an idiot.
[in Italian] Is that my shirt?
[in English] What?
[in Italian] That's my shirt! Who said you could take it?
[in English] I don't understand.
[in Italian] Out.
Get out of here! Out! Go!
[in English] The police will be looking for me.
[in Italian] What were you thinking, killing someone at the Albatros?
Get out.
[in English] Okay, yes.
[Arístides grunts]
[exhales]
The start of another day.
We have to tell Luciano about this, don't we?
The Albatros isn't his.
Be better if he hears it from you.
What do you need?
The homicide records from the port.
From a year ago, when I first arrived here.
- You mean the case of the port workers? - [Vinuesa] Yes.
[Silvia] They're here.
If either the gun or the bullet from last night
matches anything from this case,
it's a sign they're back to their old tricks.
It'll be difficult not to let me reopen the case.
Here it is. Remember, a lot of time's passed.
Can I ask another favour?
Send the bullet to ballistics. With this report.
Wait for the results.
Thank you.
Anyone would think you're glad about what happened at the Albatros.
Are you going to the flat? You haven't slept at all.
I'm not tired.
Look, this is what I've got.
Ventura Montalbán,
son of Fabià Montalbán, the construction magnate,
and Teresa Ruiz Todolí.
One of the wealthiest families in Barcelona.
He's a rich kid. Studied in Paris. Races motorcycles.
From time to time, he'll appear in a magazine.
Thanks. I'll get started on the waiter and see what I can find.
Didn't I say to stay there?
I've been kicked out.
I'm sorry.
Honestly.
I don't know what…
I completely lost my head.
Forgive me.
If they find you, you're never getting out of prison.
Get in.
You don't leave here until I say you can.
Is that clear?
- Huh? - Yeah.
[key locks]
[Teresa] It's about time you arrived.
- You look very beautiful. - Thanks. [chuckles]
- Is Dad in his office? - Yes.
- What is it you wanted to talk about? - The cement factory.
There are other buyers interested.
Either we put the money on the table or we lose it.
Have you seen the papers? A barman was killed in that club of hers.
Helena has nothing to do with all this.
It could have happened anywhere. It just so happened to be in her club.
You were there, were you not? With her.
I knew it.
[Mateo] What does it matter? Don't leave, Dad.
I will not waste another minute on this subject.
I'm gonna order the purchase. You said you were leaving this with me.
That's enough, Ventura!
Do you really think I'm going to spend one cent because you're infatuated...
It was your idea. It's about business, Dad.
We're not going to buy it.
And that's final.
[door closes]
Did you see that?
I'm just doing what's best for the business.
What? You've argued, right?
No.
And I'm not going to help you, Ventura. This time, it's a no.
Please make sure that woman knows that you won't see her again. Am I clear?
Hey. Hitting it hard?
- You have to move your legs quicker. - Why are you here?
I wanted to say I know I offended you last night.
I'm here because I want to apologize.
It would be a shame if,
uh, a misunderstanding
got in the way of your career.
Why would it get in the way?
You don't have anyone to coach you right now. Contacts?
You don't really have many of those, do you?
It's better if it stays between us, no?
What do you say?
Huh?
Friends?
I don't want friends like you.
I'd rather train alone.
[in Italian] Honey, you're always working.
What's left for Angelines to do?
Listen.
I have good news.
I spoke to Luciano.
We're going back to Naples.
[in English] No, I don't want us to go back to Naples.
Not right now.
[in Italian] What makes you say that? Is it because of Helena's brother?
Helena's brother is her problem, not ours.
[in English] She's more family than my family.
Helena didn't leave when I had problems.
[in Italian] Great.
I knew we shouldn't have come to Barcelona!
Damn it! I can't believe my ears! I'm your family!
Is that clear? I'm your family!
- [plate shatters] - [gasps, in English] What?
Bambino!
Let's play together.
[gulps]
[gasping]
[grunts]
[Mirta] Mateo? What are you doing here?
Have you seen Helena?
No. Why?
Last night I sang like never before.
Did you hear me?
[sighs] It was me, Mirta.
It was me who killed Genaro.
For no reason.
I was feeling kinda weird…
I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea...
[sighs]
It's always better not to think about bad things.
I have to leave.
Mateo.
Wait. Where are you going?
I don't know. Come on.
[policeman] We're looking for Arístides García.
Do you both work here?
Yeah.
[knocking]
What are you doing down here?
The police have turned up.
Arístides, they're asking for you.
For me?
[Arístides] Good morning.
I'm Arístides García. What's happening?
- You're under arrest. - [Arístides] What do you mean?
Why? He isn't guilty of anything.
What are the charges?
[policeman] The charges brought against you
are for public indecency, when training at Galiana.
For being a queer.
- Come on, let's get going. - Listen, you can't take him like this.
- [policeman] Come on. - Don't worry. It's all right.
It's a misunderstanding. Don't fucking push me!
- [policeman] Move it. - [Arístides] Don't push me, all right?
- This way. Come on. - [Mateo] Where?
Move!
In there? But...
- How can you put me in here? - Shut it.
Let me talk to my sister!
If you're here to confess, today is a good day.
What will happen to Arístides?
- I'm not on that case. - Is he here in this police station?
He never leaves your side, but if just so happens
that on the very night a man is killed at the Albatros, Arístides wasn't there.
- He was just somewhere else. - Right.
Where is he?
He's refusing to cooperate.
Can I see him, please?
Come with me. We'll talk.
We'll talk about whatever you want.
Arístides has been accused of perversion.
And your club had a death.
I could close both cases.
"There's no evidence, Your Honour." That's it. I can do that.
But I need you to cooperate.
What are you doing here?
What do you think? I've come to see you.
Sit down.
I've proposed a deal to Hache.
You hand over the heroin,
sign a confession, give me the names of everyone involved in the business,
and we forget about everything else, hmm?
That's quite a deal.
[scoffs] There'll be no deal. How many times do I have to tell you that?
Let him go, and we can talk right now on the street.
[Arístides] Talk about what?
- Helena, what's there to talk about? - Whatever he needs.
Can't you see you're been taken for a fool?
He will do nothing!
If you sign, it's all over.
Let her speak, will you?
[sighs]
I'll sign it if you let him go.
Are you ready to sign this piece of paper?
I swear to you. Whatever it takes.
No, Helena. Look at me.
They're gonna fuck my life up regardless of what you say.
That's the reality. Worry about you.
Think about yourself. [sobs]
I'm running out of patience.
[crying] I don't know what it is he wants me to sign, or not sign.
What do you want me to sign? I don't know!
I just know he hasn't done anything.
He's not guilty of anything.
Of course he's guilty!
Of this and lots of other things.
[Vinuesa] I'm sorry. You've had your chance.
Take him away.
You'll never see him again.
[suspenseful music playing]
[grunts]
[muffled scream]
[suspenseful music builds]
[gasping]
[Ventura] You're really worried, aren't you?
Is it the Albatros?
I just have to get a good lawyer.
Just use mine. They'll take care of everything, you know?
What did the police say?
Why won't you answer me?
Hmm?
Why are you asking, eh?
I know the business Malpica ran was selling heroin. I don't care.
Do you think all the cash my parents have is legitimate?
I have two children.
The baby is Malpica's.
Then there's my daughter, and her dad died in prison.
[exhales]
[Helena inhales]
[Helena sobs]
["Es Tan Difícil" by Zenet playing]
[both panting]
ETERNALLY GRATEFUL, MIRTA
[song continues playing]
[notary] Congratulations, Mr. Montalbán. The property is yours.
Helena.
The share in cash that you asked me for.
Do you know what I've been thinking?
Maybe you could let me meet your children.
Sure.
- Now? - Are you serious?
Yeah.
It can't be today.
You'll meet them, okay?
[muffled laughter]
Excuse me.
I'm looking for someone.
[woman] Are you sure you're in the right place?
[man] Come on, let's go out and take a drink,
and then we can come back here, yes?
Hello there.
I'm here on behalf of Malpica.
So, a woman!
Who would have thought so?
Next time, you can just notify the Albatros.
I'll go by myself with the cash, wherever you want. Just like today.
You certainly have guts.
I propose this as a trial.
[Hache] Hmm.
If things go well, it'll work for both of us.
There's something else.
I need you to help me get a friend out of jail.
Don't take advantage of me. That's enough for today.
You must wait for us to know each other. I'll say good night.
[woman laughs]
- [Alano] So, you find anything? - No.
Genaro paid for the guesthouse religiously.
The manager says he didn't drink.
He had kidney problems, and he was always going to the doctor.
So, he had no vices, no criminal record, no debt,
and he never worked at the port.
So it was just a chance killing?
He just so happened to be in the way when they fired the gun?
Or a thief did it.
No.
Maybe Genaro simply caught him in the act.
The door to the storeroom wasn't open. They would have seen him leave.
It had to be someone he knew. A patron. A colleague.
We've questioned everybody.
Not everybody, no.
There's the brother.
Hache's brother.
We arrested him, remember?
[door unlocks]
You can come out now.
- Yeah? - [Hache] Hmm.
You're safe now.
But you'll leave Barcelona, and you'll go back home to stay with Mum.
- [Mateo] But... - That's final.
Silvia.
Find me the file on Mateo Rodríguez.
He gave us the address of a guesthouse.
I wrote it down somewhere.
Yes.
They've given the order to open the Albatros.
[Vinuesa] Yes, here it is.
I wrote it down in the file as well, so…
What's wrong?
- They've lifted the ban on the Albatros. - [Vinuesa] What?
They've just notified the commissioner.
- Who was it? - [Alano scoffs]
Where has the order come from?
I'm Detective Vinuesa. I want to see the governor.
The governor is busy now. Write down your details and wait.
[indistinct conversation]
[Vinuesa] Excuse me.
Governor.
I'm Detective Vinuesa. I have to speak with you, sir.
I know who you are, Vinuesa.
Was it you who give the order to reopen the Albatros?
- I can't talk to you right now. - In that club...
Let go of me! You know a murder was committed there.
I don't have to provide an explanation.
An explanation?
When you gave the order to release Malpica's gang,
was there an explanation?
There was none.
You've just made the biggest mistake of your life.
[Vinuesa] Let go!
It pains me that it's come to this. I've done everything I could for you.
I think I'll ask for a transfer,
and we can move wherever we want to, eh?
Anyway, I'm sick of Barcelona.
Life here is so expensive, isn't it?
So let's get out of here, yeah?
It was her brother.
It's almost certain that it was.
They're all keeping this secret.
They're making heroin at the farmhouse. I'm going to prove it.
With or without a badge.
[Hache] Celeste.
What's the job you want to offer me?
The same one you had when we met each other.
Why is that? To humiliate me?
Would you please start tonight?
The flowers left at Malpica's grave were from you.
- You'll have to lend me a dress then. - Of course.
Today's your lucky day.
Go to the dressing room. Take the one you like best.
[phone rings]
Who's speaking?
Yes, of course.
Excuse me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll wait.
[Arístides] Helena? Can you hear me?
Hache?
Arístides.
How are things? Where are you at the moment?
I'm at a…
[hesitates] It's… It's kind of like a…
a centre where, uh, where…
I can't remember what they call it.
Are you well?
Yeah. Promise you won't worry about me, all right? I'm fine.
These people don't know how difficult I can be.
[both laugh]
When you least expect it, I'll show up.
I guess you'll have to pay for the taxi,
'cause these people took all the money I had on me.
They've taken everything, Helena.
All of it.
[sobs]
- Oh yeah, the Albatros has reopened. - [laughs] I knew it would.
You just won't throw the towel in, eh? [chuckles]
Great.
[sobs]
None of you deserve this, not one of you, but here we all are again, my friends.
One, two. One, two, three, and…
[closing theme music playing]
