01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

Another day begins at
the old Motel Valkirias,

and it may be the last one.

A lot of things have
happened to them - too many.

Even though they say there
is calm after the storm,

this won't be the case,

because something a
lot worse is coming:

a storm called the Mendoza g*ng,

something our ladies
hadn't banked on.

But before the storm
of the century strikes,

let's recall how we got here.

24 HOURS BEFORE ELIGIO'S DEATH

All right.

Listen to me carefully.

I want Severo to phone
Marcelo tonight at 11.30 pm.

11.30 pm.

He tells him there's a delay.

Up to now, no one has
noticed him missing.

He asks for the 20 million
that's to be laundered.

If this goes wrong, we'll
end up in a cardboard box.

When the cops arrest the Mendozas,
you'll have your share, understood?

Okay, got it.

Who are you?

Who do you work for?

You call your nephew

and tell him you're on a trip
and you're staying longer.

Understood?

What has he to do with this?

Phone him.

Tell him to deliver the 20
million that you have in Lisbon.

No funny business.

Try something, I'll k*ll you.

Talk of the Devil...

- Hello.
- Marcelo, it's me.

Yes, I'm fine. Listen...

No, I'm not going to the meeting.
I have some business to sort out.

Go and pick up the
20 million in Lisbon.

Yes, I'm sure. Bye.

If you guys think
you can screw me,

you're so wrong.

You'll pay for this.

What are you doing here, baby?

Aren't you cute?

What are you doing around here?

Want to come with me? Yes?

What?

There are lots of cruel
people in the world.

8 HOURS BEFORE ELIGIO'S DEATH

Is anyone there?

Anyone there?

Hey!

I'm here, help!

Police! Anyone there?

Here! In here!

Behind this door!

Are you all right?

- Need help?
- No, don't call anyone.

Who did this to you?

Well, that is

something I plan to find out.

Don't move, I'm getting back-up.

If I were you, I'd think
twice before doing that.

What do you think will happen
if you ask for back-up?

I see that you're married.

You know the world
is a dangerous place.

There are accidents
almost every single day.

You're a smart guy.

You'll be my eyes and
ears on the ground.

You'll help me find out

who did this to me.

Is that clear?

I can't stand seeing
you with others.

You k*lled her!

You have five days, five!

Several photos of Eva
Santana were published.

Were you listening?

Don't break my ba*ls!

My daughter got hooked on drugs.

We watched her disappear
right in front of us.

FOR LUCÍA AND EVA

We tried to lock her in...

in the room Alicia saw.

After a few months, it
looked like it was all over.

It seemed like Micaela
was herself again.

And Manuel let her out.

We never saw her again.

Carolina?

Yes?

May I?

Yes, of course.

I brought you this.

- Oh!
- You left it at home.

Thank you.

I saw your interview.

You were really brave.

Bravery doesn't give you money.

Sorry, I shouldn't have got
involved, it's your business...

It's over now, Hélder.

It took a weight
off my shoulders.

Now I just want to leave
here, get on with my life,

and forget everything.

Everything?

I need to rebuild my life.

I know.

But will we meet again?

If you knew who I was,

you'd walk right past me.

I know who you are, and I
know I want to see you again.

I'm not good for you.

Sorry.

Okay.

By the way, I didn't see Carolina
in reception. If you see her,

tell her she's being
evicted tomorrow morning.

Yes?

- Hello, officer. Did you sleep on it?
- Where is Ferrán?

Resting, don't worry.

I'm a man of my word, and you?

If something happens, I won't
be able to convince anyone.

If I manage to make them
listen when I say your name.

Don't be melodramatic, Salgado.

Come on, we're talking about
a major coup for the police,

and especially for you.

How long have you
been after my uncle?

Do you know where your uncle is?

I guessed as much.

Even if you knew, you wouldn't
have the ba*ls to betray him.

So until you have him tied
up and ready to collect,

don't call me again.

Don't worry about that.

Make the police stop
breaking my ba*ls

and you'll have
the deal you want.

POLICE RECORD

Patrick!

Yes?

The police are
investigating these women.

They were the last
to see Eligio alive,

they might know
where my uncle is.

- Want me to question them?
- Go get them.

We need to find my uncle
before it's too late.

You're the only one I can trust.

Go on.

This was here.

FOR LUCÍA AND EVA

A family reunion?

Carolina?

She left.

What about breakfast?

We're leaving in a minute.

But I'm hungry.

We can wait for you in Ourense.

It's early, let's have the last
drink in the Motel Valkirias.

All right, but no
ice-cream, okay?

- Awww!
- No ice-cream.

- Call you later.
- Sure.

Ciao, munchkin.

We'll get ice-cream.

Let's see what Carolina
has left in the bar.

Morning, Salgado. You
don't look too good.

It's the food.

This should be banned.

- Got the traffic CCTV footage?
- Yes.

It's on the server. Nuno
is going to check it.

I'd like to see it.

Only three cars drive
past in this timeframe,

none are the one
we're looking for.

Let me take a look...

I've checked it several times.

Don't worry. You'll find
something sooner or later.

It's a question of time.

That was my last chance.

Could you give us a minute?

Sure.

- What about Eligio?
- It's not about Eligio!

This is bigger than that.

Meaning?

What I'm going to
say is confidential.

Our aim was to capture
Severo Mendoza.

We had an informer
in his organisation.

Someone he trusted.

He'd give us Severo in
exchange for immunity.

Eligio was his runner,

but when he died
things got complicated.

My only option was those women.

They could be in the loop because
they need cash or work for someone.

That makes no sense.

I've seen worse things, believe
me. It would make sense.

Then they should
appear in the footage.

Yes... that's true.

Now what will you do?

Wait till our contact calls me
and tells me where Severo is.

It's my last chance.

And if he doesn't call?

In the best case scenario, that
b*stard will die locked up.

In the worst, he'll escape
leaving a bloodbath behind him.

It was one of your men.

Salgado said you trusted him.

I knew it.

The b*stards...

Who are they?

They're staying at
the old lady's motel.

The same one Eligio
stayed before he died.

Salgado thinks they're involved.
They went to Galicia that night.

I'm sure they k*lled him.

- Are the police up to speed?
- No.

I showed them other footage.

Good.

It's time to clean up.

I need a favour. Your
phone has a camera, right?

"That's why I want to thank you
for everything you did for me.

I'll never forget you.

Carolina. Kisses."

Did she tell you she
had relatives in Lisbon?

I can't see her
living somewhere else.

I can't see her
living with anybody,

but we didn't know a
lot about her, I guess.

Hey, look.

There are still some beers.

Here.

- For a toast.
- Open it for me.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Jesus!

Look.

- Think it's worth anything?
- No idea.

But I'd rather not know.
We're better off this way.

True enough.

Here's to us.

To the last guests at
the Motel Valkirias.

It's closed!

He's here to get paid.

Weren't you listening?
The motel is closed.

sh*t...

Carolina.

I thought of you today.

I wondered where you'd be.

Strange.

I've spent a lot of time thinking
the same thing about you...

Severo.

So you know who I am.

And I guess it had something
to do with Eligio's death.

You were very
brave to come here.

After what you did, is it

to offer me a deal?

No.

I'm here for another reason.

Your shitty drugs
destroyed my family.

My husband.

My daughter.

I see.

I'm sorry.

But you know, we...

don't force anyone to use them.

Perhaps

you should have been a
bit stricter with her?

I want you to pay

for what you did.

Drop the g*n.

Drop the g*n!

I don't care about dying.

Maybe you don't care about
your life, but you do

about your friends'
lives: Eva, Lucía.

You see, if you sh**t,

they'll die.

Know what, Carolina?

You can't change the past.

But you can change the future.

Where are they?

In the boot.

I also found this at the motel.

We need to find my uncle.

Why the hell are they here?

I see you know each other.

You f*cking b*stard! You
said we'd be all right!

Zip it! Where is my uncle?

We don't even know
who your uncle is.

So why did you have a
photo of us at the motel?

- Do you work for the cops?
- No, we don't know anything!

Of course you don't,

or anything about Eligio, huh?

It was an accident!

I don't have time for
games. Where is he?

- Maybe they don't know anything.
- Zip it.

Don Severo?

Where are you, sir?

Speak up or your
friend gets a b*llet.

You have five seconds. Five...

- Please, we don't know a thing!
- Four, three...

Marcelo! Marcelo! Let me try.

- Where's Severo?
- b*stard!

Don Severo turned up.

What?

Don Severo turned
up. He wants Ferrán.

- Where is he?
- Near the circus.

Not far from here.

Get them back in the boot.

You have to stop Marcelo.

The cops are waiting.

What do you mean?

Use your head.

Don't you see that without
Severo he's in charge?

Who do you think
he's on the phone to?

He's using my mobile
to incriminate me.

Check if you don't believe it.

Were you calling the cops?

No.

You were holding a mobile.

Did you make a
deal with the cops?

Who said that? Ferrán?

And you trust him?

He made a deal with the cops.

I bribed one of them
to find my uncle.

He's my flesh and blood, how
can you think I'd betray him?

I should sh**t you for
just thinking that.

Come on, let's go
and see my uncle.

We get rid of the women.

The motel owner found Severo.
Obviously they work for someone.

What happened?

Patrick betrayed us.

- And the women?
- In the boot.

We have to get rid of them.

The old lady found my uncle.

I bet they work for someone.

Carolina? Doesn't make sense.

If we k*ll them, the cops...

Cut the crap. I have
them where I want them.

You'd betray your uncle?

I'll improve the business.

And you decide once and for all if
you want to still be a messenger

or be someone in life.

My right-hand man, for example.

Who do you work for?

I already told you.

I don't work...

for anyone.

Yes, I know.

It's because of your daughter,
blah, blah. All very moving.

It's a pity there are
so many coincidences.

So that's why I'll
ask you once again:

who do you work for?

- I need a word with Severo.
- Who are you?

The messenger.

Don Severo.

They're unarmed.

What the hell is this?

I used to work for Marcelo.

Who would've thought?

They wanted to betray you.

Make a deal with the cops.

I knew it.

But who?

Ferrán was first. Then
Marcelo tried to use the deal

to turn in both of you and
take over the business.

How dare you both betray me?

How could you have the cheek

to bite the hand that feeds you?

You're the worst.

A good-for-nothing.

You can't be left alone. Look
at you, tied up like a rat,

which you are.

Make sure the cops
don't turn up here.

An anonymous caller
just asked for you.

I'm not in the mood for this.

It's about Severo Mendoza.
They said where he is.

- You sure?
- It's them.

Call the Judiciary.

Let's get those b*stards!

You're an embarrassment.

An embarrassment.

Talk.

It's true, Uncle.

I spoke to the cops,

I did it for the business.

To stay ahead of Ferrán,

to know what info they had

about you, about us.

Ferrán.

You're smart,

but let me give you some
advice for the future.

The first commandment
in our profession:

never leave loose ends.

Come on, Carolina, pick up.

Crap.

- Sure it's around here?
- Yes, we must be near the border.

And Carolina?

No reply, and Luis'
phone is switched off.

- Jesus...
- Take it easy. They're fine.

Don't worry.

Carolina, we have to meet now!

Hello, Lucía.

- How is Alicia?
- Who the hell are you?

That doesn't matter.

All that matters is that you have
what is mine and I want it back.

You either bring the 20
million to the circus,

or you can say goodbye to your
friends Carolina and Luis.

If you even think
about calling the cops,

I'll k*ll them and
then come for you two.

You have 30 minutes.

Are you sure about this?

We can still call the police.

You heard. The
police are involved.

Carolina needs us.

We didn't come
here just to watch.

Shall we do it?

Let's do it.

Excuse me.

sh**t!

sh**t, Lucía!

sh**t!

When you k*ll a civilian,

the key thing is to make
it look like a suicide.

I'll think about
what to do with you.

I knew it.

Let her go.

Here's the money.

Of course,

but I want the cash first.

k*ll her.

You picked on the wrong people.

Carolina!

Drop the g*ns

or she's dead.

Let her go, you b*stard!

Do as he says.

Throw down the g*ns.

It has nothing to do with you.

- I almost thought you were right.
- Zip it.

- That I'd been a bad mother.
- Shut it!

But it's not true.

I was always a good mother.

Carolina!

Carolina!

The first commandment:

never leave loose ends.

How do you feel?

Thanks for not k*lling us.

You were right,
this isn't for me.

Are you okay?

Yes.

By the way,

just one thing...

That's for earlier.

Right.

You know, I...

I don't believe it.

So now we're even.

Ladies... and Castro.

Please listen carefully.

All right.

After all today's events...

we need to make up a
story that protects us.

What do you propose?

Detective inspector Salgado

will want to know what happened,

and we'll explain it to him.

First things first.

We must get rid of

Marcelo's body.

He'll be our culprit.

He k*lled his uncle, then
ran off with the money.

This place is a
major problem for us.

Our prints are everywhere,
incriminating us.

We have to clean everything,

get rid of the bodies,

and leave them on waste ground.

It has to be quick.

Yes, right.

Okay, the second part. Castro...

we still have an agreement.

This is your share.

Ladies, congratulations...

you're rich.

Jesus!

We really are rich!

You won't lose the motel!
Our problems are over.

Okay, I meant you're
technically rich.

You can't spend the
money without a care.

You'd be caught straight away.

This money needs
to be laundered.

Why have money you can't spend?

I can help you there.

I...

want nothing to do with drugs.

Hang on, Carolina.

Don't worry. I have
a proposition...

but...

we're going to need your motel.

Yes, Severo Mendoza and a
few of his g*ng members.

And a local policeman as well.

Everything points to
Marcelo k*lling his uncle,

he tried it before.

I imagine he left the country.

No, not a sign of Ferrán,

but I wouldn't be surprised to
find him in a ditch one day.

I have to hang up, boss.

I'll call you again if
I find anything else.

So sorry about Nuno.

I don't get it.

How could he work for
them right under my nose?

I've known his family forever.

Perhaps he turned up,

caught them red-handed and
that's why they k*lled him.

Like a hero.

A nice story for his family.

Thanks, Salgado.

Well, things didn't turn
out the way I expected,

but I have Severo.

Now it's time to think
about my retirement.

You should come to
Ourense some time.

I know a place where they
make a delicious cod dish.

Hello, everyone.

Today is a special day for me.

For us.

Because today we begin
a new business venture.

I want everyone to know this
won't be just any old casino.

Will it be profitable? Yes.

Will it attract tourists? Yes.

But it will also
create many jobs

for local people.

This casino will also
have a social aspect.

Part of the profit

will go to different rehab
centres for young people

who wish to overcome
their addictions.

I propose a toast.

Let's drink to the
Valkirias Casino.

VALKIRIAS CASINO OPENING SOON

- Here's to Valkirias Casino!
- Valkirias Casino!

Here.

No, thanks.

Where did you go?

To the chemist's.

I don't feel too good.

Seen who's there?

Your friend the cop.

Whatever.

You need to think positively.

I'd do him a favour...

or two!

It seems that everything ends.

And if you think about it,
the end isn't the problem.

- Are you okay?
- I'll be right back.

The problem is those
endless seconds

just before everything ends.

So is this the end or the
start of something different?

Of something new,
something better.

I doubt anyone knows the answer.

They may not even ask
themselves that question.

What you must be asking
yourselves, though, is who I am.

By the way, a woman
was asking for you.

Who?

I don't want more surprises.

She said it was
really important.

Just what we needed.
All right then...

And I can answer that.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Because you've
already heard of me.

Hello,

Mum.
