02x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

[police siren blaring]

[police radio chatter]

[officer] Collect all the samples you can.
Meanwhile, you check the computer. Yeah?

[Chaparro] Mikel?

What's going on?

[inhales] She says
it's her granddaughter's.

I'll know more
when the lab's done with it.

-[Chaparro] Where was it?
-Here. This way.

[camera clicking]

[officer] Can you breathe now, Juana?

-I need you to try to calm down.
-[Juana breathing shakily]

[officer] You have to let us do our jobs.

When we find something out,
we'll let you know.

[Belén] Cristina.

[agitated breathing]

[Belén] Juana, are you okay?

It's her Bible, isn't it? Hmm?

It's my Allison's.
I'd recognize it anywhere.

I gave her that bookmark as a gift.

There was…

so much blood.

-So much… so much blood.
-Please, Juana.

Is he…

the one who did it?

-I don't know.
-[Juana] Tell me.

-Was it him?
-Juana…

Because if he did it,
then he's not a man of God, you know? No!

He's not a man of God! No!

[somber music playing]

How is Juana?

Don't worry about Juana right now.

-I don't know how that got into my closet.
-[Chaparro scoffs]

I didn't k*ll Allison.
I'm guessing you don't believe that.

[sighs]

Someone is setting me up.

You're gonna come to the station anyway.

I didn't k*ll her. I promise.

[Chaparro] Come on.

I hope you know what you're doing.

[Chaparro] You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you in…

[music continues]

Does he have an alibi for that night?

-Says he was in his room.
-Alone?

Hmm. That's what he says.

But no one can confirm that.

THE SNOW GIRL 2
THE SOUL GAME

[shaky breathing]

[panicked breathing]

[whimpers] sh*t.

[battery alert]

[panting]

-[water running]
-[Miren whimpers]

[sobs]

[sobs]

[crying]

[racking sobs]

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

[growl]

YOU FACED YOUR FEAR

YOU PASSED THE TEST

[frantic tapping]

WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT???

[message alert]

YOU'RE CLOSE TO LIBERATION

-Damn it!
-[clock ticking]

[sniffles]

[message alert]



[ringing tone]

-[mom] Miren. Are you okay?
-Mom…

Did we talk last night?

-Yes, we talked.
-[Miren] I don't remember it, Mom.

[sobs] Did something happen to me?

No.

Nothing happened.

I stayed on the phone with you,
until you got to your house.

I'll be there Tuesday.
Okay? It's already approved.

You don't need to.

I'm not going to ask
what happened last night,

or why you were so wasted.

But I will be there on Tuesday.
End of conversation.

[stifled sob]

I see them everywhere I go, Mom.

The ones who did this to me.

It could be any man out there.

I'm so scared, Mom. [despairing sob]

I'm so scared.

When will this be over?

[mom] Miren, listen to me.

Don't be defined by what they did to you.

You are more than that.

So much more than that.

[sobs]

-[car alarm beeps]
-[cell phone vibrates]

Hey there, Jaime.

[Emilia] The students who attend Los Arcos
have very rich parents,

and they covered it up.

There wasn't a whisper of it
in the newspapers.

Or on TV.

With wealth, there's nothing
that's beyond you.

[Jaime] Do you remember,
Emilia, the name of that game?

[Emilia] It's called The Soul Game.
And the group, The Ravens of God.

Good work.

What's this woman's name?

Emilia Pedraza. She's willing to testify.

This one here is Andrés Garrido.

[Belén sighs]

-How long have you known about this?
-That doesn't matter.

[Chaparro] Come on, you know it does. Huh?

-So why are you being so irresponsible?
-[Inma] Chaparro.

-I'm doing your job, again. Sorry.
-[Paco] Miren, please.

Oh, really?

-She's f*cking unbelievable, I swear.
-Are you listening?

Chaparro, that's enough.
Stop! That's enough!

[Chaparro sighs]

Paco. You know
you can't publish any of this.

[Belén] Inma,
this was an accident 40 years ago.

There's no proof
they're still playing this game now.

[Miren] Yes, there is.

[Belén, sarcastically] Of course.
Miren has proof. [scoffs]

[Miren] I've been investigating
recent accidents related to the school.

A student who got into a serious
motorcycle accident.

Borja Pineda.
He already confessed to playing the game.

The game sends them tests through the web.

The first test is a test of will.

They have to cut a cross into themselves.

Allison had the mark
of the cross on her arm, right?

You've only spoken to Borja Pineda?

He's the only player that I've found.

[Paco] Are we finished here?

Give me a second.

Miren.

What's wrong with you?

With me?

Nothing.

Listen, are you going to share
information with me, Millán?

Like, for example,
why you've arrested Garrido.

Or can I go?

You can go now.

[intriguing music playing]

[seagulls crying]

[Miren] We know Garrido created the game.

But that was years ago.

Who told you about Borja Pineda?

-Someone at the school.
-[honks]

[Jaime] And why didn't you tell me, Miren?

-Tell what?
-[Jaime] Um, everything.

All of it. The website,
cutting a cross on them, Borja Pineda…

-When were you going to tell me?
-I don't have to tell you.

-Yes, I need to know these things.
-What do you want?

That's it. That's enough.
That's it. I'm sick of this.

I told you if you hide things from me--

Jaime, would you listen to me?

The key to everything
is Laura's disappearance.

-[Jaime sighs]
-You need to trust me on this.

[Antonio] We'll guide the interview.

[Garrido] Yes, I understand.
We'll collaborate.

Good afternoon.

Afternoon. I'm Antonio Hernán,
Mr. Garrido's counsel.

I'll represent him during this case
and interrogation.

[Belén] Nice to meet you.

Before we begin, can I remind you both

of Article 520 of the criminal law.

My client is under
no obligation to talk to you.

He will give his statement in court.

"Someone is setting me up."

That's what you said last night.

-I believe that's true.
-He's not giving a statement.

[Belén] You're a smart man.

I don't believe you'd take a souvenir from
the crime scene and hide it in your room.

This is irregular.

This is all a huge mistake.

I can imagine the shame you're feeling.

That we're feeling?

You're the same detectives
who couldn't find that girl,

Amaya.

You made a mistake.

That kind of shame never goes away.

I'm sure it follows you everywhere.

Don't make a mistake again.

-[Chaparro] This is you here, right?
-[Garrido] Mm-hmm.

-[Chaparro] Hmm?
-Yes.

[Chaparro] Do you recognize that girl?

Do you or not?

[Garrido] Mm-hmm.

How did she die?

You should know that.
All that was investigated before.

-It was an accident.
-[Belén] No.

It wasn't an accident, Garrido.

You were responsible
for that young girl's death.

Andrés, don't say any more. Please.

[Belén] Why don't we talk
about The Soul Game?

You created it while you were a student.

And this girl here? She died playing it.

Do you remember?

[unsettling music playing]

[Chaparro, angrily]
Do you remember or not?

Alicia Martos.

One of my biggest regrets.

Her memory… It's still haunting me.

But your students are still playing it,
right?

-No, I would never allow it.
-And how are you so sure of that?

[Belén] God's Ravens.

You're still testing your students, huh?

You k*lled Allison,
because she wasn't pure.

-Because of the ab*rtion.
-[Garrido] I didn't k*ll Allison.

Allison was a member of my flock.

-I wouldn't hurt her.
-Why was that Bible in your room?

Hmm.

You don't believe I'm being set up.

I've nothing more to say.
I'm done talking.

You've already heard my client.

He'll only give a statement to the judge.

Well, he has no alibi. He has a motive.

We have a case.

[Garrido] Your problem isn't with me.

It's with my vision of the world.

[Antonio] We're done now. Thank you.

-Nacho, can you give me a hand?
-[Nacho] Hmm?

-Coming.
-[Mercedes] Grab that corner.

I'm really sorry you heard us
arguing last night. You know?

-Everyone argues, Auntie.
-[Mercedes] I know.

But my problems
with your uncle shouldn't affect you.

Well, thank you,
don't worry about me. I'm fine. [laughs]

-[laughs]
-[Nacho] It's okay.

-Okay.
-[Nacho] Okay.

[message alert]

[Nacho] Hmm.

What's that?

They're saying they've arrested the…
the… the principal.

-What?
-They… think he m*rder*d Allison.

-[Mercedes] Who told you that?
-My friends in our school group chat.

Garrido would never. That can't be true.

-Well, Auntie…
-Don't "well" me.

Go get the comforter.
It's in your sister's room.

[birds chirping]

[poignant music playing]

[doorbell rings]

[Miren] What was Principal Garrido's
relationship with Laura?

It was normal. He was her teacher.

Just her tutor.

Why are you asking?

I guess you all heard
that he was arrested last night.

Yes, we heard about that already,
but we completely support Garrido.

Completely.

He has nothing to do with
Laura's disappearance.

-I know that for sure.
-[Mercedes] Hmm.

And he had nothing to do with
the death of that girl. It's absurd.

What makes you so sure?

[Mercedes scoffs, sighs]

He's a man of God. A shepherd.

Mm-hmm. For years they've been going
after him, for expressing ideas.

It's ridiculous.

He's a b*stard.

-Excuse me?
-Garrido is a fundamentalist.

-He's a fanatic. But you don't see it.
-Nacho, please.

He's tricked you.

He takes advantage of his position.

All the girls in class
don't want to be left alone with him.

[Cristóbal inhales]

[Cristóbal] Enough. That's enough.

Take that back right this minute.

No. [chair scrapes]

Nacho…

[door slams]

Excuse my nephew.

He's… he's a good kid.
But after what he's been through…

Oh, don't worry. It doesn't matter.

-Yes, it does.
-Miren.

[Cristóbal] What did you say, miss?

-[unsettling music playing]
-[Jaime sighs]

[Miren] It does matter.

Lots of abusers can hide
behind a crucifix.

I think you should leave now.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

We won't allow you to insult us
in our own house.

[door slams]

I'm really sorry. It wasn't our intention.

This way.

Nacho!

-Do you have a minute?
-Hmm.

Meet me at the bridge by the beach,
and we can talk.

[Jaime] Miren!

Fine.

Hey, wanna tell me what's going on?

-[Miren] Nothing.
-Nothing? Yeah.

Jaime, just go to the office.

-Let's see if Nacho has any new info.
-About what?

About The Soul Game?

-[Miren] I'm leaving.
-[Jaime] Wait.

If I asked you to show me your arm,
would you?

Let go of me.

[message alert]

DAD: CALL ME

She looked awful.

Who did?

Miren.

That girl is not okay.

How do you expect her to act?

With the b*stards
who r*ped her still out there?

We messed up everything.
I messed up everything.

I'm a shitty detective.

That's not true, Belén.

I need to be transferred out.

I don't think this has
anything to do with the job.

You can tell yourself it does, but…

This hasn't been going very well since…

Since what happened to your son.

[somber music playing]

-[doorbell rings]
-[woman] Hello?

[Chaparro] Hello, good morning.
We're with the police department.

We'd like to talk to Borja Pineda.

The motorcycle accident happened
not far from here. My son,

he almost died.

-He spent a whole month in the ICU.
-[Chaparro] Is he still going to school?

No, he's still too sick.
It's been really hard.

He's in constant pain.

He has trouble sleeping.
He needs insulin injections.

He'll need care the rest of his life.

I'll go get him, but please do me a favor.

Don't stress him out too much. Okay?

[Belén] Hmm.

Thank you. Excuse me.

[unsettling music playing]

[Nacho] How do you do it?

[Miren] Do what?

Open up the way you did.

You talked about yourself,
and your fears, like you overcame them.

Talking about it helped.

But it's always there.

Yeah, well…

I can't even think about Laura.

It's like being stuck in your shittiest
moments, you know what I mean?

The death of my parents,

her disappearance…

and I get these flashes.

No matter what I do, I can't escape it.

What is the "safe place" for you?

I don't get it.

When you're stuck in those moments,

try to think of a happier time.

That's your safe place.

[laughs] That's hard.

[Miren laughs]

[suspenseful music playing]

Do you have a safe place you go to?

[wistful music playing]

[cell phone alarm rings]

sh*t. I have to go.

Go where?

Listen, you need to go back home,
okay? Call you later.

Miren.

You're playing that game, right?

You talked about it with Borja.

Stay out of it, please.

I don't care.
I want you to be safe, all right?

[inhales] We'll talk later, Nacho.

I saw your wrist.

I know that you're playing.
I'm not an idiot.

You know I'm just trying
to find out what happened to Laura.

[Nacho] Miren,
what you're doing is dangerous.

-If it's about Laura, I'm coming with you.
-No.

She's my sister, Miren.

I want to find her.

[Belén, muffled] Borja.
We're detectives Millán and Chaparro.

I guess your mom already told you, right?

[distinct] I used to pray every night
before bed when I was a kid, you know?

My dad drove a taxi,
and I was terrified one day

he wouldn't come back home.

The thought of having a God that was
watching over us made it less scary.

What about now?

It's the same?

Well… [laughs]

…you grow up and see things.

It gets complicated.

[Borja] Why?

Excuse me. What do you want to ask my son?

[Belén] The Soul Game.

Do you know it?

Borja. Do you know it?

It's an urban legend at school.

-I've heard people talk about it.
-And you've played it.

-We were told, Borja.
-Well, they lied.

-Honey, what's The Soul Game?
-[Chaparro] Ma'am.

-Ma'am, please?
-What?

-We have to talk to him alone.
-It's my son.

I know. We appreciate it.

Thank you.

[unsettling music playing]

Your mom's gone.
You don't have to lie anymore.

I know you spoke to Miren Rojo
and you told her you played The Soul Game.

Borja.

Look at yourself.

It's a miracle you're alive.

You want to cover for the person
who did this? Really?

Please tell me who it is.

Please. Who is it?

I don't know.

I don't know, okay?
I have to get my insulin.

[Belén] Principal Garrido
created this thing. Did you know that?

Almost 40 years ago, he created
the Raven of God and The Soul Game.

-Did you talk with him about it?
-The accident was just bad luck.

-I haven't played anything.
-You played. We both know it.

[Borja] Where's my mom?

I need my insulin. I'm sick.

[unsettling music continues]

We need to talk to all of the parents.

We have to warn them about the game.

MISSING MINOR
LAURA VALDIVIA RUIZ

THE FAMILY OF THE MISSING GIRL
WANTS LAURA BACK

Is that it?

Yeah.

WHERE ARE YOU?
YOU DON'T WANT TO KEEP PLAYING?

YES

[alarm blaring]

THE RAVEN OF GOD SAYS: "BURN IT"

[Miren] "Burn it"?

BURN SOMETHING YOU CARE ABOUT

[Miren] "Burn something you care about."

-[tense music playing]
-[message alert]

YOUR LOST GIRLS' DEPOT

The thing from your novel?

[Miren] Yeah, I think so.

FREE YOUR SOUL

[sighs]

[tense music playing]

I WANT SOMETHING IN EXCHANGE

[Miren] "The truth about Laura?"

[tense music intensifies]

JANUARY 5TH 2010

Take anything you can carry.

The parent briefing is about to start.

We got all the parents
of Allison's classmates.

Garrido has an alibi
for the night of the m*rder.

What alibi could he have?

And the Bible? It was in his closet.
That links him directly.

Not a single fingerprint.

You gotta be f*cking kidding me.

We have to release him
until after the court hearing.

Let's see if he contacts anyone.

I'll put in the request
to get a phone tap.

Take this for me, please.

[knock]

-[journalist 1] Garrido, look over here!
-[cameras clicking]

[Antonio] Go straight to the car.
I'll handle the press.

-[Garrido] Okay. Thank you.
-[journalist 2] He's not giving answers.

Can you please give us some…?
We have some questions.

[Antonio] I'm sorry, we won't be
answering any questions at this time.

This whole ordeal was a big mistake.
And my client just wants to move past it.

[journalist 3] Wait a minute…

[Garrido grunts]

How'd it go?

The police asked me about The Soul Game.

They think it's why Allison died.

That the Raven of God still exists today.

It's absurd. They have nothing.

Except a Bible covered in blood.

[Garrido] Mm-hmm.

We need to get ahead of all this.

We have to call a press conference

and make it clear
that this is all an attack

against Los Arcos.

Against all our values.

[sighs]

The school board wants you
to step down as principal.

Step down? Wait, but why?

It's not my call, Andrés.
They want you out. I'm sorry.

[scoffs] You just have to explain it.

I had nothing to do with any of this.

You know me. I could never.

Your reputation is bad
for the school's image.

-A student has died.
-[Garrido sighs]

And apparently,
another kid was also injured

while he was playing the game.

What?

[sighs]

Alberto.

This school is everything to me.
My life's work.

I made it what it is.

-And it must keep teaching our values.
-Of course.

The world needs that now more than ever.

It's worth the sacrifice.

I won't be a martyr.

There's no alternative.

With everything I know?

I could talk.

[menacing music playing]

I'm not a kid anymore, Andrés.

Don't try to manipulate me.

You have information.
And I have information.

Let's not sink that low.

They'll announce your dismissal tomorrow.

[ringing tone]

-[Jaime] Hello.
-Hey, Jaime.

-[phone connects]
-[Jaime] Hey, Dad.

-[dad] Jaime, what did you do now?
-[Jaime] What's wrong?

[dad] Mendoza's construction company
just pulled out of all our deals.

We're talking about millions of euros.

-[Jaime] I'm just doing my job, Dad.
-[dad] I'm not calling to discuss the job.

[Jaime] So they're rich,
they can do what they want?

Keep your opinion to yourself
and help me fix this.

[Jaime] Okay. What exactly
do you want me to do?

I want you to think about your family.

-No, this is not…
-The people who love you.

Dad, this has nothing to do with family…

Just stop investigating anything
that has to do with the Mendoza family.

Please.

I know you'll do what's best this time.
I love you, Son.

See you.

[Paco] Where is she this time?

[Jaime] What?

Miren, where is she now?

She's, uh, following up on another lead.
We're both busy.

-[Paco] Jaime.
-What's up?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Why?

-I heard Andrés Garrido was let go.
-Already?

Yes. Apparently, the police are meeting
with some parents at Los Arcos.

They'll have a briefing session.

-Go see what you can find out, okay?
-Yeah. Sure.

Before we begin,

I need you all to know that this is
about being prudent, not nervous.

We're still gathering evidence…

but we think there's a chance

a challenge-style game
is being played at the school.

The game is online
and your kids call it The Soul Game.

[murmuring]

What about Principal Garrido?

Silence, please.

It's important that you cooperate.
We understand it's a delicate situation.

I need you
to really pay attention to your kids.

If you notice them acting differently,

or see evidence of self-harm,
call the police immediately. Okay?

Can you tell us if this has anything to do
with the girl who died? With Allison?

That's all I can tell you at this time.

[murmuring continues]

You can't bring us here
not to tell us anything!

I know, it's a difficult situation,
we understand that,

but I can't tell you
anything else for now.

-[Garrido] Bernal.
-[Belén] I'm asking you do your best…

Can we talk for a minute, please?

-Why?
-When this is done, come to my office.

[Belén] Again, I know it's complicated,
but we are doing everything

we can to investigate. So all I need…

[somber music playing]

Record me, please.

I'm Miren Rojo.

And this is my third test.

[somber music continues]

He's here.

Hey!

[dramatic music playing]

Nacho, wait!

[clattering]

[dramatic music continues]

[Nacho gasps]

[panting]

-Where is he? Where did he go?
-He went that way.

-I lost him. Sorry.
-[Miren] sh*t!

That's the b*stard from the game, right?
He knows about my sister. Right?

Miren.

sh*t, man…

[message alert]

[scoffs]

I could use that safe place now.

sh*t, man.




What do you imagine?

When you're in your safe place?

[Miren] Hmm.

I don't even know if it's real.

I'm on a beach, playing.

I'm just a kid.

Hmm… My dad is still alive.

He died of cancer.

I'm sorry.

My mom's there too, in the safe place.

It's strange because,

in real life,
we don't really talk that much.

It's too hard.

Why?

[poignant music playing]

Hmm… Because…

I can feel how much she cares for me.

She loves me.

And a part of me hates that.

[Nacho] We're broken.

We're both broken.

[music continues]

Never do that again.

[Nacho] Sorry.

[alarm sounds]

[unsettling music playing]

It's a video.

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR FINAL TEST?

[dramatic sting]

[Allison] I can't take any more.

I can't… No more, please.

[sobs]

[sobs]

No more, please.

No, no, no, no, please.

-[knife thuds]
-[Allison screams]

-[gasps]
-[squelch]

[knife slides]

[death rattle]

[growl]

[message alert]

YOUR LAST SACRIFICE
WILL BE CLIMBING THE CROSS

YOU'LL FINALLY MEET THE RAVEN OF GOD

"He says, 'Will you risk your soul?'"

[message alert]

-[Miren sighs]
-[Nacho exhales]

Now what, Miren?

[Jaime] What do you want
to talk to me about?

[Garrido] Your colleague, Miren Rojo.

She thought Allison
and Laura's cases were connected.

[Jaime] Yeah, well,
that was one of her working theories.

[Garrido] She's wrong.

If there's still someone in the school
playing The Soul Game,

I didn't know.

The last time we played it
was almost 40 years ago.

If Allison died doing one of the tests,
I couldn't say.

But Laura…

I know Laura's case had nothing
to do with the game.

Laura was a special girl.

When I tutored her, we would talk a lot.

And over time,
she started to open up and confide in me.

She told me once that her boyfriend,
Tomás, he made her happy.

But she felt she was…

never enough for him.

She said that she felt stuck,
trapped in her own home.

And that she sometimes dreamed of leaving.

I'd tell her it was normal
and it would pass.

Until she came to me
with a serious problem.

She told me she had met a man,

an older man.

She'd fallen in love.

Obviously she felt bad for Tomás.

But she would say
it was outside her control.

You can't help who you love. Right?

And what happened?

She was weak.

She gave away her virginity.

Laura thought that
God was punishing her because…

that man… got her pregnant.

So she was pregnant when she disappeared?

[Garrido] Yes.

She told me that this man had taken her
to the suburbs a few times

to a place
she used to call the Green House.

She would always repeat it.
"The Green House."

That's where they went
to have intercourse.

Who was he?

Who was she sleeping with?

With Alberto Mendoza.

[dramatic music playing]

-[Nacho] Miren, what are you going to do?
-[Miren] I'm going to take you home.

Then I'm going to tell
the police everything.

-[Nacho] You're not gonna play?
-No.

The police can take it from here.
I won't risk my life.

[Nacho] If you tell the police,
you'll be in trouble.

I don't care. f*ck! I messed up, okay?

This guy thinks
I'm actually going through with this.

He thinks I'm just some poor little girl.
He has no f*cking clue who I am.

[car alarm beeps]

What's up?

You should do the last test, Miren.

What?

You should do the last test, Miren.

[menacing music playing]
