01x02 - Bad Education

[bunniefuu]

Okay, come towards the camera and say,

"I'm Lluís Gros, and this is my story."

Okay?

And?

-I didn't

-Okay.

Come towards the camera,

to here, more or less

-Whenever you're ready. Okay.

-Okay?

Good.

I'm Lluís Gros, and this is my story.

I have many stories.

Wait. He needs to take a step back. Okay?

A bit further back. Go on.

There. Okay. Right there. Okay?

I'm Lluís Gros, and this is my story.

Wait, once more. It was too dark.

I'm Lluís Gros,

and this is my story.

Right now, I'm in Montserrat.

Okay, whenever you're ready.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-It's the first time that I've come here.

-Really?

Yeah.

Are you at all religious?

To be honest, I'm here with a man

who's been sentenced to 24 years in prison

for the sexual abuse of several minors,

which include friends of mine.

And since I've known him

since I was a kid,

they've asked me

to try to get him to admit

to his crimes and apologize.

He's already been sentenced, but of course

the victims would appreciate an apology.

I don't want you to tell him any of that,

but you could talk to him

about forgiveness.

Let him reflect on it

because he's a strong believer.

We'll have to see because confession

is something very private.

-Hello, Father.

-Hello.

Look, I haven't come to confess.

I gave my confession here three days ago.

I've brought a boy named Carles.

He's one of those who get baptized,

take communion, and then never come back.

So I've tried

to explain a bit

about our faith, our religion.

Very good. You've done a good deed.

I'm pleased.

They say that whoever converts or brings

a person to the church will be redeemed.

Yes, but of course. I studied theology.

I am a lay theologian.

-At the college.

-Well, you know that better than I do.

-Well, then. Goodbye.

-Thanks.

-At your disposal. Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

-Thank you very much.

-Goodbye.

-What did he tell you?

-No.

He said, "You've done a good deed."

I said, "You have to start at the bottom."

He said, "Yeah."

I said I had studied theology.

He said, "Wow!

You almost know more than me."

I said, "That's not true."

Well, now

Now, I'm going to cheat.

If they give me a ticket,

I'll say I'm here on a pastoral matter.

Then, they'll give me a stamp,

and I won't have to pay for parking.

Come on, Carles.

What's this paper?

It's a traffic ticket.

Give it to me, please.

-Are you going to pay for it?

-Screw them.

Can they forgive all sins?

No, imagine you've violated a sanctuary.

You've stolen the consecrated wafers

and thrown them away.

Then, the chaplain will most likely

tell you to go to the cathedral

with the confessor

because it's a sacrilege

that the chaplain cannot forgive.

Is raping a person also a sacrilege?

No, that's a mortal sin.

Which is worse? Mortal sin or sacrilege?

-What?

-Is mortal sin or sacrilege worse?

Sacrilege.

-It's worse to violate the wafers than

-Yeah, sure.

-than a person?

-Of course.

Because you're violating

Jesus Christ himself.

The bread and wine

are the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

-Understand?

-Yeah.

How did Santiago Segura put it?

"The daughter plays the violin.

"The mother plays the double bass,

and the father plays with her."

Santiago Segura.

You didn't get the joke.

"The daughter plays the violin.

"The mother plays the double bass

and the father plays with her."

The father violates her.

You don't get it.

HUNTING A MONSTER

He r*pes her!

CHAPTER 2

BAD EDUCATION

Why did you move to Sant Quirze?

Because I'd been going

I'd been going there since I was 16.

The parish had

I rented a house to run a summer camp.

Is that the summer camp

the guy at the restaurant

in the market was talking about?

Yeah. Yeah.

What an as*h*le.

Because I had to go to a psychologist

and say, "That boy was my fan."

And he had read all the sh*t that came out

about me in the newspapers,

and was

so disillusioned.

That's what the psychologist says.

I don't even want to think about it.

No, but what the boy said, I think,

was that you brought him to the camp

and something happened there.

I don't even remember.

Because that guy has to be 46.

He's not a child. Well.

No, he's not.

So Sant Quirze is where

those regrettable events occurred,

so to speak.

Can you tell me how you met Lluís?

Yeah, well, Lluís came to the school

where I was studying Education

at Puig Coca School

in Esplugues de Llobregat.

He came in

as a history teacher and principal.

As a teacher, Lluís always made

inappropriate comments in class,

inappropriate glances.

He was always looking

for a complicit reaction from the group.

-We were

-It was well-known. It was obvious

Yeah, totally,

because of course to us it was funny.

To us

It hurts to say it now,

but whenever a girl in class

went up to the blackboard,

Lluís would stare at her a*s,

and then at the class

to see how we'd react.

It was no secret.

What happened to me didn't occur

when he was my teacher.

One day, he called and spoke to my mom.

"Hello, is this Amparo?" and so on.

"I've got a summer camp

and I'm going to take"

And we came here to Sant Quirze,

and he showed me the house.

It's over there.

We got to Sant Quirze.

We got to the house,

and, well, he'd acted normal until then.

"How are you doing in school this year?"

and so on.

But when we got here, it changed

His behavior changed a bit.

We went into the house,

and then he got straight to it.

He'd said he'd show me the house,

but the only thing he showed me

was the room he put me in.

This could be the house, definitely.

I'd say it was this one.

REGIONAL POLICE RECORD

SANT QUIRZE HOUSE

An adult and a child in a house

in the middle of nowhere,

I didn't even know where I was,

locked up in a room.

The only thing I could think was,

"The only way out of here is with him.

"In his car again."

I didn't have a cell phone.

There was no sense in running away.

If I run away, where do I go?

"There's nobody around.

There's nothing but trees."

He suggested we get in bed together.

REGIONAL POLICE RECORD

SANT QUIRZE HOUSE

I didn't know how to react.

I thought, "If he's able

to get me here and do this,

how far could he take this?"

That's when I started to make up excuses

and I managed to get out

with my dignity, alive, and in one piece.

He put me on the bed,

but I managed

to leave in a more or less

dignified way.

My approach was, "I have to make sure

this man doesn't get angry

"because he has to take me home."

It's really sad.

Imagine his confidence

when we left Sant Quirze,

where, as I told you,

I left in one piece with my dignity

because I think I acted intelligently,

with a cool head and intelligence.

He dropped me off at home.

And he called up to my mom,

"Amparo, Álex is coming up!"

It was as if nothing had happened.

The risk of him dropping me at home

and me telling someone what happened

never crossed his mind.

Because if it had, he would've k*lled me

and thrown me in a ditch.

Me or someone else.

But he had the nerve to drop me off,

go back home,

and act like nothing had happened.

I spent the whole way back

wondering whether

I should say something or not.

It was my word against the principal's.

Would anyone believe me?

And I don't wish him any harm.

I just want him to pay for what he's done.

Nothing more, nothing less.

He should be in jail.

If he has to live out

his final days in jail, so be it.

The lawsuit includes allegations

from 2007 and 2011.

And now we've found a case from the '80s.

I don't think it's unreasonable

to believe that between them,

there have been more cases.

Now the plan is to gather

all the info we have about Lluís

and try to contact

as many people as we can.

I started out as a teacher

at the same school I had attended,

the Sant Just parish school.

Then I moved to Cornellà.

Carles, he's talking about

all the schools he worked at,

and there seem to be a lot of them.

Make a list, and then we'll try to contact

the schools' alumni associations.

And if he worked at cinemas,

make a note of that, too.

-Let's try to contact the ex-employees.

-Okay.

After Cornellà,

I went to teach at Sant Feliu.

And from Sant Feliu,

I ended up in Esplugues de Llobregat.

We've been filming Lluís

for about four months,

and his legal status

hasn't changed at all.

-Everything is the same.

-Everything is the same.

I asked him about that recently,

and he said

Do you think, in the end,

with all the medical reports,

that they'll make you go to jail?

No.

-You don't think you'll go to jail?

-No.

Are you sure or not?

I've already told you no. It's impossible.

I have hydrocephalus.

How can a person with hydrocephalus

go to jail?

But, is he dying of that? Is it fatal?

I'll call my sister.

She's a nurse. She can tell us.

Helena, I'm with the team

working on the Lluís' case.

He says he can't go to jail

because he has hydrocephalus.

Is it serious?

It's an accumulation of liquid

in the brain.

If it's treated and the liquid is removed,

it is not a serious illness.

Well, I'm dead. I'm dead!

All damn day with this.

He's acting like

it's sending him to his grave.

No, it's treatable.

The liquid can be removed.

It's not serious. It's something simple.

-You have the forensic exam on the 30th.

-Yeah, but I'll skip it.

-You're not going?

-If I have this, how can I go?

Do you know why they want a forensic exam?

To put me in prison.

To prove those false witnesses right?

Up theirs!

They drain out

the accumulated liquid and voila!

I was talking to my sister, and she said

not to worry about the hydrocephalus.

-It's treatable.

-No, it's not treatable.

He's using it as an excuse

to stay out of jail.

Well, if he is using hydrocephalus

as an excuse, he will go to jail.

How are you?

I'll tell you. Hold on.

Record and let's talk.

Whenever you're ready.

We're at the Sant Just Desvern

municipal cemetery.

Good morning.

These are families from the town.

I can't say if one is better than another.

A former student of mine, too.

In the name of the Father, the Son

and the Holy Spirit.

Heck, where was it? Did I get lost?

Here are my mother's remains.

My mother still lives.

She lives on.

Even after her body perished,

her soul lives on.

Mom, good morning.

I also want to put

a photo.

This is my mom.

Mom, we're going

to say the Our Father prayer.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Can you tell me

what you remember about your mom?

I lived with her my whole life.

Of her three kids, I wasn't the best.

I was the one who lived with her longest.

She was a local woman.

From this town. Everyone loved her.

I wish

I could have

a little of her love for others.

I wish I could emulate her

in everything she did.

How do you think they'll remember you

after you're dead?

-What?

-How do you think they'll remember you?

I don't know. That depends on them.

I want them to remember me

as a good person.

Now, I don't know about that anymore.

-Do you think you'll go to Heaven?

-I want to.

That depends on God.

I know people here who've behaved badly.

But you can't hold it against them.

Only God can judge you.

Not a judge from some court. Only God.

Carles!

Come here.

Carles! Let's go.

Thanks for contacting Eliminalia,

leader in the deletion

of unwanted material on the Internet.

-Hello?

-Hello there.

Yes, Lluís, how are you?

Your request arrived a few weeks ago.

We've been slow to respond

because it's a complicated case.

It's a case Well, I'm sure you know

what kind of news is out there.

-There's also more recent news

-No! No!

Listen, that's from 2019.

Legally, until enough time has passed

And anyway, all I can say is that

the only thing we could do is

if you turned out to be innocent

or the case were dismissed,

then we could work on it.

But you've been found guilty,

so there's nothing we can do.

Honestly speaking, Lluís,

it's not a viable case for us.

Lluís?

Hello?

Hi, Carles, how are you?

It's Max from the cinema.

Listen.

I talked to a guy

who I think should talk to you

because he could tell you

some things about Lluís.

If you want, I'll give you his number

and you guys can meet or whatever. Okay?

It was in the mid '90s

when I transitioned

from elementary to high school,

And it was through a friend

who had movie posters in his house.

I asked him, "Where did you get those?"

And he told me he worked at the cinema,

and that's when he introduced me to Lluís.

So I went there with five friends

a week or two later, I'm not sure.

And Lluís let us watch a movie

and he took me to a

a more secluded part of the cinema.

He started touching me,

asking me if I masturbated,

if I wanted to watch a porn movie

and masturbate in front of him,

he'd pay more

than what I'd get for distributing flyers.

So I started to masturbate.

I had a total mental block after that.

I only remember a

a window at the top part of the cinema.

That, according to the psychologists,

was my way of detaching myself

from the situation.

And

And what I do remember is that the movie

my friends were watching had finished

because when I came out, they'd been

looking around for me for a while.

He told me to tell my friends

that I'd been helping him

move some tools, some movie stuff.

That was my experience with Lluís.

Later, I started to feel really bad, like,

"What just happened?"

I didn't understand.

I never had any contact with him again.

That was the second time

you had met Lluís.

Correct. Yes.

The first was the day

I distributed flyers.

The second was when he molested me,

when I went with my friends,

and he took me to that area.

-When did you tell someone about this?

-When I was 30.

Can you tell me where this self-blame

you've described came from?

Because, from the outside,

you didn't do anything wrong.

-Yeah.

-Why did you feel bad?

You're a ten-year-old boy,

and sex isn't something

you've figured out yet,

and you've done something sexual

that made you feel uncomfortable.

So

It's like, "Why did I do that?

"Why did I let that person do that?"

So the guilt comes from thinking,

"I didn't stop it.

"It's bad. It's, like, if it gets out,

"what will my family think

if they find out I let him touch me?

"What will my friends think?

"He did what he wanted with you,

and it was your fault."

That's something that

I struggled to deal with as an adult.

To say, "Enough, it's not your fault."

You were just a kid who wanted

a poster and to go to the movies.

When you passed by the cinema and saw him,

what went through your mind?

Anxiety. I

Really, mentally, I've had times when

especially during adolescence,

until I was in my 20s,

when I felt extreme distress

and I have, well, had, at the time,

imagined closing all the doors

to La Calàndria and setting it on fire.

That was a recurring thought

during my adolescence.

And I can tell you that there were times

when my anxiety

and distress were so intense

that I wished he would burn

with the cinema.

Hateful thoughts and Well, distress.

But that's how it was then.

It's true I'd like to go back

as an adult where I was more in control.

Why do you want to go back?

Because it's a place

I think of as hostile,

so I think it would be

more of a healing

experience to deal

with all the distress it has caused.

-Would you like to go now?

-Let's go.

CLOSED

-How are you?

-Hi, how is it going?

-Go ahead.

-Come in.

I If you could leave me alone

for a minute

-Sure.

-Yes, of course.

We have the cases

from the El Masnou ruling.

In the '80s, there was Álex

in Sant Quirze.

In the '90s, there was Ángel in El Masnou.

With all these cases,

Lluís is still living a normal life.

What do you do with him when you meet?

He lives the life of an ordinary old man.

I mean, buying groceries, strolling

through the town, going to the movies

It's full of people.

Look at how many people have come today.

People want to go out. I'm sorry.

I'm leaving it here.

You can't park here.

Yeah, well, cars don't come by here.

It's fine.

Whenever you're ready.

-Whenever you're ready.

-Okay.

We're going to watch the movie of my life.

Cinema is a world of its own.

The first film,

the one closest to my heart

that I showed when they taught me how

to project 35mm film, which I didn't know,

was the movie Born Free.

For so many years

For so many years, Carles

I love it.

It restores me. It makes me feel alive.

You told me Almodóvar came

to El Masnou to make a movie.

Do you remember which one?

Yeah. Bad Education.

Can you tell me what it's about?

It's about pederasty in the Church.

There are some children

who speak out about it.

And these children grow up

and meet with the priest

who, supposedly,

had inappropriate relations with them.

It's a very unpleasant film.

Carles, to your health.

Well! sh*t! Can't you see, man?

These scooters are a pain in the a*s.

But he had the right of way.

You're the one who pulled out.

Yeah, well, whatever

How do you feel?

Good. Well, unwell.

I'm very ill.

-Your lawyer is calling. Should I get it?

-Yeah.

Hello?

-Mr. Gros.

-Yes, hello.

You called me, didn't you?

I did because you said you would call me.

-Right now, I'm

-Yes.

I've just been picked up

from the hospital again.

-I have to be at the hospital every day.

-All right.

Are you available next week or

Yes.

Let's meet one day next week,

a day that you're not seeing the doctor

Sure! When I don't have anything

because every

Listen, it's just that

Yes. Let's fix a time.

Let me know.

Let's fix a time one day next week

-that you're free, and we'll meet.

-Okay.

-Have a nice afternoon.

-All right. Okay.

Goodbye. Have a nice afternoon. Bye.

-in physical education.

-Or races in

-Did you hang up?

-Yeah, I did.

-Why did you lie to him?

-Man!

Why did I lie to him? What did I say?

Because I said Listen, yesterday

I was at the doctor's all afternoon.

You said you're leaving the hospital.

Yeah, man, sure.

-So he doesn't think I'm out for a stroll.

-But we've come from the cinema.

-I can't tell him that!

-Why not?

Because I can't! Carles, you're crazy.

That's the man who deals with

the court and the forensic scientists,

which I don't give a damn about.

What do I have in my life?

A team of doctors

who theoretically want to heal me

or improve my quality of life because

there are things that can't be cured.

But the other doctors,

those disgraceful forensic scientists

just want to prove

that I'm fit to go to jail!

-They can f*ck off, man!

-The call is still connected.

What? Hang up, then.

Just kidding.

-It was a joke.

-Don't mess with me.

Lluís says he's really ill,

but he doesn't seem like

he looks after himself

because he barely sleeps, eats terribly.

He was stuffing himself with fig bread

in Montserrat.

Fig bread.

I can't eat it

because it has a lot of sugar.

It's bad for diabetes.

And in all the time I've spent with him,

I've never seen him cook,

so, everything is precooked or junk food.

I was in the hospital since I don't know

what day in December.

I told them "Listen, when I get out

of here, I'm going to eat KFC

"which is what I call chicken."

I got diarrhea which I rarely

We all get it sometimes.

He frequently doesn't even take his pills.

I'm not going to take any pills today.

I'm sorry.

How did it go the other day

with the lawyer?

When we went to the cinema,

he called you to fix a meeting.

I don't want to.

All I can focus on is my illness.

I think he's a hypocrite

because what he should do

is compensate the victims and go to jail.

That's his duty as there's been a ruling.

One victim should get 10,000 euros,

another 30,000 euros

Have you received anything?

Nothing. I have no idea if I'm entitled

to it or not, or whether I'll get it.

-You haven't received anything for sure.

-No.

Despite this, his daily life consists

of praying, praying all day long.

Look here.

He uses religion to exonerate himself

of the crimes he has committed.

He sees himself as a victim,

or rather that's the impression

he wants to give us.

The impression that he's being

unjustly persecuted.

"It was good for me to be afflicted

"so that I might learn your decrees.

"The law from your mouth is more precious

than thousands of silver and gold pieces.

"Everyone fights against me.

All their plans are against me.

"They spy on me from a corner

to hurt me and they follow me.

"Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens."

-Come in.

-Hi, good morning.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

Did you oversleep?

-What?

-Did you oversleep or did you forget?

-No, I went to bed late.

-Okay.

I just came out of the bathroom.

I was showering and I said, "sh*t!

That guy is going to call me."

I went to bed really late last night.

You have letters you need to pick up

at the post office.

-Do you know what they are?

-No.

Taxes, fines

-Aren't you going to get them?

-No.

You're making me nervous.

Carles, wait, I have a problem

with my credit card.

No, I don't. You know what's wrong?

It was all in my mother's name.

-Okay.

-And we

My mother died and I was authorized

Let's see. Where's that ticket? Here, see.

-Yes, 6.76.

-Six and seventy-six. Let me take this.

Wait, I'll pay by card.

-Have you paid for this?

-Yes.

-Okay. Shall we go, Carles?

-Let's go.

Let's see what we can do about this now.

Listen, a friend gave me this card.

It's in his name.

-Okay.

-I don't know, but I can't get any money.

It's in a woman's name.

I can't give you the PIN or help you

if it's in another person's name.

-Then I

-Whose card is this?

Cristian's girlfriend's.

-Why have you put your money in it?

-Because I have.

-Let's see what it says. Maybe 20 euros.

-Okay.

-"Enter PIN."

-Yes.

-It's exceeded I don't know what

-The available balance.

It says you have no balance.

-There's no money.

-No.

Okay.

What the f*ck?

Imagine that. Not even six euros

to pay for medicine.

This Cristian Who is he?

A proxy of mine.

Isn't he picking up?

Why do you have a proxy?

-Doesn't that complicate things?

-No.

It's because

I had it in Banco Sabadell,

and we withdrew it.

I authorized Cristian to withdraw it

from Banco Sabadell

and deposit it in La Caixa.

And he gave me a card

that had his girlfriend's name on it.

Because, of course, my mom didn't

She couldn't sign anymore.

And then she died.

It's so shitty.

I don't understand why you don't have

an account in your name and Cristian

That's because of something

the lawyers told me.

Basically, you get the money.

Cristian takes it out, and puts it

in an account in his girlfriend's name,

but it's actually yours.

And I can withdraw money

from this account, but sh*t, I'm broke.

He says, "Going to La Caixa on Monday

to sign for and activate the credit line."

But I need to eat tonight. Damn it!

Have you considered that

he might keep the money?

-Couldn't he keep the money?

-No, since he sends me all the statements.

-But, are you sure?

-m*therf*cker! No, not that.

Tomorrow, I'm going to talk to Sabadell,

and that's it.

Don't you have money or has Cristian

No, now I don't. I can't access it!

I have no money!

But that's because

Cristian hasn't deposited it.

-You do have money.

-No, I have no money. It has run out!

What are you arguing about?

We're not arguing.

Look, Cristian, I sh*t on God!

And I'm a religious man!

I've f*cking had it with you talking

to me about those people from Arbós!

The one time I go there!

And they let me sleep

in their house for free!

If I give them 40 euros or 20 euros

for gas, it's no big deal!

You think it's every week!

How do you know?

How can you check that?

Are you an idiot or what? Listen!

We need to talk! Starting next month,

you're no longer my proxy!

We'll go to the notary,

wipe the slate clean, and to hell with it.

Man! Listen!

A former employee of mine

Last year,

on Holy Week last year, imagine that.

He said, "Come to my house."

He had a room for me there, a guest room.

Listen to me.

"Lluís, can you give me 40 euros for gas?"

Listen, that's the least I can do, right?

And now he's throwing it in my face?

I should've kept my f*cking mouth shut.

Okay.

Wouldn't it be better for you

to have your own bank account?

I'm going to tell you why.

I'll tell you why.

I've told you, but you don't get it.

The lady lawyer and the attorney

told me,

"Make yourself a"

They said, "No, no way. We won't end

things badly. I don't see it that way."

Man, I do see it that way.

Let's see.

When the conviction was handed down,

I didn't agree. "I don't agree!"

"I'm not having any forensic tests!

They should have done them before.

"If they want them now, I won't go!

"And if they convict me"

This is what I told the lawyers.

"I'll run away!

"I'll disappear from here."

Well, then they said, "Think about it.

"If they issue an arrest warrant,

the first thing they'll do is

"to block off boats and airports."

-That's what the lawyers said.

-Yes.

"As lawyers, we can't break the law.

"If you flee, you will be condemned

"but we'll give you some advice.

"If you go in this car or another car

with another license plate,

"and you use your credit card

to get gas in Salamanca,

"the police will track

your bank transactions.

"If they catch you in Salamanca,

they'll put you in a cell,

"they'll come to get you

and take you straight to prison."

That's why Cristian told me,

"Lluís

"take out your money

"under my girlfriend's name.

"What you get in your mom's account,

"when it arrives, we'll leave just enough

"there to pay the household bills,

"the car payment I'm paying, etc.

"I'll take the rest.

"You can spend it through my account

"and I'll deduct it from that."

Get it? Really and truly? Well, that's it.

sh*t. Everything is so complicated.

He'll answer when he wants to,

but he needs to fix it.

Look, I've got something here.

Let's see.

Search here, please. Here.

Look for the ones that

are tied with rubber bands.

-Look. Here they are.

-Those aren't the ones.

What are these?

No, this is from

These are from the summer camps.

From the summer camps

I think I have Cristian's number.

-I'm calling.

-Okay.

Hello, Cristian!

-Hello?

-Hi. Can you hear me?

-Yes, hi.

-Hi, I'm Carles Tamayo.

I'm making a documentary about Lluís Gros.

Look, I don't care.

I'd like to meet with you to talk,

if you have

-He hung up on me.

-Yeah?

You've reached the voicemail of

No.

I've discovered something.

If you look on the back here,

there are names,

and I've found several of those people,

and I've found victims

from the '60s and '70s

in Sant Just Desvern,

at the Núria Parish School.

Lluís gave me these photos

and I saw that he had written "Roig."

-I guess Roig is you.

-Yes, that's me.

That's me and those were

my classmates and

-They're summer camp photos, right?

-Correct. Yeah, they're from summer camp.

-Is that him?

-Yes.

There were also rumors that

he wanted to be a monk.

Whether he quit or was kicked out,

I don't know.

Lluís took this photo.

-Yes.

-That's the parish.

-You met Lluís at the Núria School.

-Yes.

I don't quite remember how old I was,

but I met him

Well, Lluís Gros was the P.E. teacher.

-Did you go to summer camp?

-No, I didn't. Thank God.

When one of my friends told me

he was going to that camp,

I got a knot in my stomach.

I didn't say anything

because what could I say?

What happened with Lluís?

We went out on a playground that was

a bit far from the school.

And when we were about to leave,

he said to someone,

"Come here. I have to tell you something."

Of course with all the authority

a teacher has over a seven-year-old kid

"Look, whatever, they're saying

"I don't know if you've heard,

but we should know

"They're saying that there's

a child who's a pervert and whatever."

And the whole time, he had slid

his hand down and molested you.

Groping your testicles and whatnot.

He'd come up next to you

and asked personal things.

Questions that you didn't

At that age, you didn't understand

what he was asking.

If I spied on my sisters,

if I've seen them naked, if

He'd start by putting his hand

down my pants.

He'd touch and ask

He'd touch to see

if I had an erection or not.

Later, you heard that one day he took

a girl and cornered her

in the gym equipment room.

He told her to undress, to show him

her breasts, to let him touch her and

He had the keys to the Núria School.

He took me out of the parish

and over to the Núria School.

We went into a classroom,

and he made me touch him.

Yeah, look. This building was the school.

Well, now it's new,

but they've preserved the facade.

This door is different, but this is where

the first playground was.

When we came out onto the playground

there, we'd come through there,

and that's where Lluís Gros would sit

He'd call out to one of his preys,

one of the children

to go and touch him and so on.

That's what I remember him doing to me.

Did you report him to another teacher

or a supervisor?

A commission was formed about a complaint

made by the oldest students in the school.

Then the school paid attention

and an inspector came and did a series

of interviews with everyone.

If I remember correctly, there were eight

or nine of us who went to the commission

to report Lluís

because we'd been assaulted.

I couldn't imagine that there were boys.

I thought they'd all be girls.

And after the commission at Núria School,

did he remain involved in the parish?

He was always with the parish.

He was always friends with all the priests

who came to the church. Always.

I don't know what they did at the school.

They might have forced us

not to say anything

about what happened in the school.

I, obviously, don't remember

my parents knowing anything about it.

That's the truth.

That's what I was worried about.

I know the other teachers knew

about that man's attitude.

There was a tendency not to talk about it

and to cover it up.

But that man, as you've said,

kept working.

He stayed in the parish.

In the parish, no less!

That's how things were

and that's how they stayed.

That's the doorway to the playground,

and there on the left

is where they kept the vaulting box

and the gym equipment.

We asked the parish for permission

to film the playground.

-If you want, I'll read you their reply.

-I can already imagine.

-What do you imagine?

-Well, man, any sort of excuse to say no.

-Should I read you the email?

-Okay.

"I've evaluated your request and read

"the proposed contract

to authorize filming.

"After consulting with others, it is not

deemed appropriate to accept your request.

"The parish should stay out

of this documentary.

"Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards."

If the parish needs

to stay away from a guy

who spent years and years linked

to the parish at the highest levels

Doing the readings, leading the songs,

running the parish cinema,

doing half of the work of the parish

Tell me what reason

do they have to stay out of it.

-That's what I say.

-It's insane.

They've taken a clear stance.

They want to bury it, make it disappear.

It was as if nothing ever happened.

There aren't just the cases

involved in the ruling in 2007 and 2011.

We've also found cases

from ten years earlier, in the '90s.

Cases from the '80s,

and now cases from the '70s.

And at this point, in the mid '70s,

there was an investigation

that seems to have been useless

because, clearly,

Lluís is no brilliant criminal mastermind.

He's not an evil genius.

If he's managed to go

so long with such impunity,

it's due to a system that's protected him.

There were people who found out

and did nothing about it.

Because if Lluís had been stopped here,

none of this would've happened.

All this suffering would have been avoided

and everything would've stopped here

in Sant Just.

-Excuse me, who are you looking for?

-Hi. For Lluís.

I don't think he's in.

Well, we've agreed to meet here now.

I'm calling, but he's not picking up.

He stood me up.

CARLES TAMAYO

Lluís, where are you?

I'm k*lling time near your house

Okay, I'm filming.

I'm on the phone

with the lawyer of one of the victims.

Can you repeat what you told me?

An arrest warrant

has been issued for Lluís.

I told you that I'm in Sant Just.

He and I had agreed to meet here today.

And I've been calling him for two hours.

He's not at home, and he's not picking up.

I'm pretty sure he's not here anymore.

Keep calling, and if you find anything,

you have to tell me.

-Lluís?

-Hi.

Lluís, how are you?

Well, I'm having a massive dilemma.

Why? What's happened?

Yesterday, the lawyer sent me a note:

"Mr. Gros, I regret to inform you that

the presiding" That's what it says.

"We are issuing an arrest warrant

for this gentleman."

The presiding judge can go f*ck himself!

Let the whole army come for me.

They won't find me at home.

They've declared w*r on me.

I'll declare w*r on them.

-Can you hear me?

-Yeah, but I'm a bit confused.

Well, I'm more confused than you.

-Where are you now?

-I'm just outside Sant Just.

And they're still telling me

to not threaten any witnesses?

If I see one, I'll k*ll him.

If I don't k*ll myself first

Because this calls for suicide.

Well. Okay.

Lluís?

I'll see you around, Carles.
