A PRIVATE AFFAIR

What are you doing?

No! Marina!

Marina, what are you doing?

Stop the car!

What are you doing?

-It's you. It's you.
-What?

Put the g*n down. Put it down!

Stop the car!

Héctor?

Héctor, is that you?

Héctor.

-Stay back!
-Marina.

You've fooled me all this time.
You're the m*rder*r!

Stop yelling!

-Don't move.
-I couldn't even if I wanted to.

Miss Marina?

-Héctor!
-Mon Dieu. I'll leave you alone.

No, Héctor! Héctor, Héctor.

-Pablo is the fleur-de-lis k*ller.
-What?

Miss, your mother's
going to lock you up for life.

Pablo's the one to lock up.
He's fooled us all.

The k*ller's mask
was hidden under his seat.

All police officers have access
to that car. It's not mine.

I put my job on the line for you.

I'm innocent, for God's sake!

Miss, you saw a mask in that car,

and he says no
because he is not the k*ller.

The mask must still be in the car.

In that case, the most sensible thing
to do is to go to the garage.

All right. Let's go.

You're not thinking
of going there right now, are you?

That will prove his innocence.

You're still recovering.

Finding the k*ller will bring
me back to health.

Let's go.

Keep an eye on Margó.

But... I'm coming with you.

No, we can't leave her.

I need you here at the front.

We'll be back soon.

What now?

Let's see... While I distract them,
you can check the logbook

to see who used the car before me.

No, thanks.
You'll take care of the logbook.

I'll find the mask.

Just hope it's in that car.

Are you gonna collect evidence?

Yes, I am. We'll need to analyze it.

The k*ller's a policeman.
I can't leave it here.

Marina, please.

I'll go first and then signal you. Okay?

This is chaos and disorder,
do you understand me?

I need you to organize each file
by hours, minutes, and even seconds.

We've been swamped
with the Porriño accident.

We just got up to speed.

Gentlemen, listen to me!
I am talking to you.

-Yes, sir.
-Please.

Come on, lift the car!

-Lift it up.
-Come on.

This is going to be a real pain.

I knew it.

Didn't anyone examine the car first?

Do I have to explain to you

that a good accident report must be
drawn up before handling any vehicle?

It belongs to a colleague.

I can't believe you guys
have been working here for 20 years.

I don't know if you don't understand
the language I speak

or you simply don't give a sh*t.
What a shame.

We assumed--

We don't make assumptions here.

We are police officers.
We work with evidence.

You, go get a report and get to work.

Yes, sir.

Lower the car. I said lower the car!

Don't make this worse.

-What do you mean?
-What are you doing here?

Are you interested
in paying for the car wreck?

-What are you talking about?
-I saw you leave.

What's in the purse?

You don't read fashion magazines.

This isn't a purse.

Are you going to tell me?

Or do you prefer being arrested?

You made a mess at the Marchioness' party.

Your brother will be very happy.

He was never a problem.

Nor for me to search you.

The mask.

-Not here.
-You can't leave with this.

Then you have to come with me.

You put all this together alone?

Not alone, with Héctor.

I see that you have
some compromising information.

Where did you get it?

And you use all this junk
in your research?

Are you going to answer me?

Detective Ramírez,
what are you doing here?

We found the mask.

Quelle horreur.

The mask's painted
with biological material.

Blood?

-The mask is painted with blood?
-Yes.

Where did the k*ller get this?

I'm sure there's another case
at the police station

that would lead us to this craftsman.

This is not a homemade mask.
Look at the workmanship.

This is the work of an artist, an expert.

What now?

Well, if the k*ller is a policeman,

he may have worked
with one of our colleagues.

-I'll come.
-No. I'll call you.

Search through your father's archives

and note any craftsmen
who may have worked with us.

We have a problem.

Margó wants to leave.

Mon Dieu!

Margó!

Margó!

Careful!

I'll get the g*n.

Plate!

She's destroying the china.

Plate!

Mom!

Marina, darling!

My love! But, my child...

But...

When did you wake up?

Why didn't you tell me, Héctor?

We have to tell
your brother right away.

We were worried sick, my love.

I started sh**ting to relax.

God, what a miracle.

Please, take care of this mess.

We're going to celebrate
with a herbal brandy!

Where did you learn to sh**t like that?

My love, if I were to tell you...

There are still
many secrets in this family...

It's you.

The Commissioner, yes.

Thank you, officer.

What is all this?

You shouldn't be here.

-I'm leaving.
-My men told me.

Why am I being followed?

You're the target of a k*ller.

I'm not going to wait
for something to happen to me.

The police have a lot at stake here.

We're not sure
our prisoner is the culprit.

In two days you'll
be able to leave the country.

The country?

Who will protect me out of the country?

I thought you wanted freedom.

I don't trust the authorities.

You're giving me lessons on morality?

What do you want?

A new identity.

And money.

Twenty thousand pesetas, in advance.

You're the one proposing a deal.
I'd leave right now.

I can't find Margó anywhere.

What do we do?

-Good morning, sir.
-Good morning.

Margó?

I'm sorry for the trouble I'm causing you.

It's dangerous for you to be alone.
Are you leaving?

It's all cleared up now.

I met her and told her
she can leave in a couple of days.

Where to?

No one must know Margó's whereabouts
if we really want her to be safe.

-But--
-But nothing!

If you care about her safety,
accept her new anonymity.

I'll show you to your room.

Thank you.

So, how are you? You're looking better.

Son, you're here.

Mother.

You're home early.

Look how your sister has recovered.

-She's a champion.
-She looks good.

Miss, for you.

-I'll be right back.
-Okay, my love.

Coffee?

-Hello.
-Marina, it's Ramírez.

I have the information we need.

What did you find?

You won't believe who was in charge
of this type of evidence.

Who?

-Mr. Eloy Quiroga.
-My grandpa?

But I don't have access
to any of the files he signed.

There must be something we can do.

My grandfather didn't work...

alone.

Ramírez, I need you
to help me with something.

-I can only give you a few minutes.
-That's all I need.

I'll get Detective Zarco. I have to leave.

Thank you.

The audacious Miss Quiroga.

Let's speak of my grandpa.

You were his favorite student.

You're gonna have to prove it.

What do you want to know?

Who would be crazy enough to make a mask
and paint it with real blood?

You found the k*ller's mask.

I didn't say that.

If we're going to work together,
we'd better trust each other, right?

Have you found the k*ller's mask?

They could hear us.

-I know who could've made it.
-Who?

There is only one craftsman
using this technique today.

But to help you,

I need something in return.

My freedom.

Will you help me?

This person won't meet you
if I'm not there.

He's a protected witness

and only trusts me.
His life depends on it.

How can I do that when you're in jail?

We need someone to impersonate me.

In and out, a few hours.
But we need to find someone.

I've got it.

I have someone who can do it.

No, no and no. And a thousand times no.

I'm telling you it was him
who used the car before I took it.

It was him and not me
who left the mask under the seat.

Right, it wasn't you.
But you don't know about Castaño.

-We have no choice.
-Well, it seems to me--

That this is crazy.
That's what it seems to me.

Marina, listen to me.
He's fooling all of us.

And I'm sure he said this
to escape or even attack you.

But I'm not the kind of woman
he's interested in.

Besides, it'll only be a few hours.

Héctor, you tell him.

Well, if...

If it's the only way
to get close to this craftsman...

We have to take the risk.

See?

Risk. You just said it. Risk.

Pablo, what would life be
without a little bit of risk?

Especially yours, you're a policeman.

I've already explained it.

The k*ller froze
when he saw my face in the woods,

and Castaño already knew that.

No, no and no.

I, ANDRES CASTAÑO PEÑA,

am GUILTY for the...

Pablo Zarco, Detective
Andrés Castaño

You can't just walk away.

-I can't?
-No.

You first have to sign this confession

that you're the fleur-de-lis k*ller.

What?

It will be your ticket out of here.

I, Andrés Castaño... Guilty...

We didn't discuss this.

If we're gonna do this,
it's not because we trust you,

but because
we trust Miss Marina's intuition.

-I won't sign that.
-Of course you will.

If I'm gonna stay here,

you must guarantee your return.

I've explained enough for that mask.

Upon your return,
we will burn the document.

Do we have a deal or not?

I'll sign it.

You're brave, Pablo.

Nothing bad will happen to you.

I should be protecting you.

Will this take long?

We'll be back soon.

Where does this man live?

In the Cíes Islands.

The Cíes Islands?

No boats can take us there now.

Are we playing games already, Detective?

Relax.

I'm taking a gamble with all this too.

Trust me.

I know how to get there.

In what, an ultra-fast speedboat?

Let me be the one to get on that plane.

Héctor...

I know you're concerned,

but I've been dreaming
of this my whole life.

You know that.

But if something happens to you,
I'll never forgive myself.

Marina!

I'm coming!

Let me finish this investigation.

Trust me.

Come on, let's go.

There's no greater freedom than this.

-Relax, the worst is over.
-I'm excited.

To be with me?

No. To know that we're
going to find the k*ller.

Sure.

I'm not one of those girls
you make nervous so easily.

Really?

That wasn't funny!

Well, your look has improved quite a bit.

I've had more exciting ways
to tousle my hair.

Sure.

There it is.

That way.

Impressive.

What do you keep in there?

The mask.

How will we tell the craftsman
what we're looking for?

Prescient woman.

Tell me the details.

His name is Abdul Alhzared.

He's a protected witness, as I said.

He has a scar running across his face

because he was imprisoned
and tortured during the Rif w*r.

You were in the Rif w*r?

There are many things you
don't know about me.

Marina?

Marina, is that you?

Héctor?

I shouldn't have let her go.

What?

She went with Detective Castaño
in search of the mask's designer.

I thought you had ruled out Castaño.

You shouldn't be here.

Marina's not from the House of Water.

She's not one of us.

But she has all the information
about the case.

If I were the m*rder*r...

I'd know what to do.

There it is.

Abdul!

Nice.

Abdul!

Abdul!

Well...

He's not here.

Fascinating.

So what do we do now?

Improvise.

Did your dad teach you
how to start a fire?

Are you suggesting we sleep here?

Keep the fire alive, I'll be right back.

Are you going to be long?

What's for dinner?

Grilled iguana?

Come on, surprise me. What's for dinner?

Help! Help!

Castaño, help me! Help!

Help!

How could you leave
the k*ller's mask unsupervised?

Always keep the evidence with you.

Friends?

That wasn't funny.

Marina.

Marina.

Don't be mad.

Marina.

Quiet, quiet.

Abdul!

Abdul Alhzared! It's Castaño!

Castaño. Friend.

Wait here. Wait.

Andrés?

Peace be with you.

With you, too.

Who's that?

She's Marina Quiroga.

Don Eloy's granddaughter.

Mr. Alhzared,
we need information about this mask.

Alastor.

What?

We need to know who commissioned it.

This man's dangerous.
He's m*rder*d women--

I'm sorry. I can't help.

You're not listening.
This man's a m*rder*r.

You're the one not listening.

Abdul, we need some leads
so that we can investigate further.

We don't want to compromise you.

I am under arrest
as guilty of these murders.

I was able to get out,
thanks to Ms. Quiroga,

to prove my innocence.

I think I kept something
from that particular order.

Infernal Dictionary
by Jacques Collin de Plancy.

"Alastor."

The k*ller must have torn out the page.

Wherever the book is,
it will be incomplete.

Thank you, my friend.

God bless you!

May fortune be with you.

A storm is brewing.

Shouldn't we go back
until the storm passes?

Should I be worried?

What's going on?

What's wrong? What's going on?

Calm down, please.

Fire! We're going to die!

-Fire!
-Calm down!

We're gonna die!

Put something over your mouth!

Cover your mouth!

-What are you doing?
-Ever used a parachute?

What? No!

Take yours.

There's nothing here!

What do we do, Castaño?

What do we do? What do we do?

Hold on tight to me.

We're going to jump together.

What?

Don't look!

Look at me!

Don't let go of me!

-The ripcord!
-What?

The ripcord!

I'm gonna pull the ripcord!

Hold on tight!

Don't let go of me!

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

The statue!

No, no, no!

We made it!

We made it!

Castaño!

Castaño. Castaño!

Castaño!

Andrés! Andrés!

You've never called me that.

I thought you were dead.

Friends?

Friends.

-Héctor!
-Marina!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What happened?

We found the craftsman. He gave us this.

Your dad had a book like this.

See?

The ornamentation is exactly the same.

Your father used this book
to illustrate some of his cases.

He never told you about this?

No.

So where is the book?

Let's see...

This...

Here it is.

Sonia.

She was m*rder*d 30 years ago
in the House of Water.

But I never imagined it was him.
