01x03 - Episode 3

Post by bunniefuu »

They say money
doesn't buy happiness.

Even if it sounds cheesy,
believe me, it's true.

What money is good for is
running away from our problems,

especially the ones
we don't dare confess.

At least that was what they thought
when they buried poor Eligio

over the border,

and looked for his lorry.

But their problems are not
the only ones following them.

Motel Valkirias.

Did you talk to our
Portuguese colleagues?

Tomorrow first thing, a
small motel near here.

Motel Valkirias.

Salgado,

how about a few quick questions?

I'll call you later.

Leave me alone, Garrido.

I have nothing to say.

Come on, a couple of questions.

Don't be like that.

There has to be more.

There has to be
something else somewhere.

Jesus, I don't believe it.
Was this all for nothing?

Sure you looked properly?

The guy asked for
a tonne of money.

I checked it all.

The underbody, the engine,
the seats. Nothing.

Take it easy.

Let's not get nervous.

If there is something,
we'll find it.

Just a bloody beer lorry
carrying beer, that's all.

- Oh, disgusting!
- What is it?

Chewing gum all over
the seat. What a pig!

Throw that crap in here.

I checked the bottles,
too. Nothing suspicious.

What?

What if it's not beer?

Something could be
dissolved in the liquid.

- A drug.
- sh*t...

What are you going to do?

Careful, we don't
know what it could be.

Smells like beer.

Tastes like beer.

He may have stolen the
lorry just for the beer.

Why would someone drive a
beer lorry and be armed?

Something doesn't fit.

I can't think of anything else.

At least we have free beer.

You can sell it in the bar.

Here.

It's rude for a
woman to drink alone.

I see you've realised
that I'm very rude.

Come on, drink it.

I couldn't undo the seatbelt!

- Careful.
- What a gentleman, thanks.

Careful, Eva.

God, Hélder, how embarrassing.
I swear I never... drink.

It's very unusual.
I've never got drunk...

That was a lot of wine.

But I'm fine.

- I can manage.
- No, I'll see you to your room.

Come on, off we go.

- Is it here?
- Yes, it is.

If I can find my keys.

May I?

Are you always like this?

How?

Like this... such...

such a gentleman...

and such a policeman.

I bet you've brought
lots of women here

and now you have to make
do with a has-been actress.

I don't have much
time for women.

But it was a pleasure
giving you a lift.

Go on, dummy, kiss
her once and for all!

What's up?

Doesn't his d*ck work?

Come on, give him a snog!

- Sorry, they must be drunk.
- I should be going.

Yes, that's probably best.

Goodbye.

Don't act dumb, your
knickers are soaking wet!

Goodnight, ladies. Keep
it down or I'll be back.

Come back!

You bloody bet he'll be back!

Sorry, they're really drunk.

Bye, gorgeous...

Thanks!

Wait for me!

What's this? You
found the lorry?

We have a surprise for you.

There was nothing.

Ta-da!

Nothing?

What do you mean?

- How do you mean nothing?
- Nothing, no.

Only beer!

A third of it...

belongs to you!

We're guilty of k*lling a guy
for a few bloody crates of beer!

Now what?

What do we do now?

Get screwed, same as always.

I thought I'd never see my
ex's f*cking face again but...

Men are always to blame.

Because men are a
bunch of b*stards.

Didn't look like you thought
that when you were with the cop.

Manuel wasn't.

Manuel was a good man.

What happened to him?

When Micaela...

my daughter...

got hooked on drugs,

Manuel didn't take it well.

They'd always been close.

But...

she reached her teens
and everything changed.

So, be ready with Alicia.

My daughter got hooked on drugs.

We watched her disappear
right in front of us.

We tried to lock her
in at the motel...

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.

God...

- I'm so sorry.
- Yes.

We women can put up with

almost everything.

I don't know if that's

a blessing,

or a damn punishment.

Manuel couldn't take it.

He died the following year.

I've hardly left the
motel since then.

All I have left in
life are memories.

And they're all here.

Well, I'd...

like to make a toast.

To our shitty lives.

All right.

To our shitty lives.

- Morning, Fernandes.
- Sergeant.

- How was last night?
- Quiet.

There's a Spanish
policeman waiting for you.

Hello. Salgado of the
Investigative Police Force.

Hello. May I ask
what brings you here?

You're in charge here.
Yes, you must be.

I haven't been
given an office yet.

And since you're in charge,
I decided to wait in yours.

- I don't follow.
- Did your superiors not call you?

I'm here to
investigate a m*rder.

- In town?
- No.

We found a body on the
other side of the border.

Eligio Montero, ring a bell?

Yes.

He was a Spanish national and
his body turned up in Galicia.

So the case is ours.

He was in town, so we've
come to sniff around,

you know what I mean.

I won't be here long.

I'd like an office, if
it isn't too much to ask.

- No one told me you were coming...
- I'm here to work.

I can call your superiors and
explain why I can't do my job.

There's no need.

We'll set up an office for you.

Meanwhile, I'll take
a look around town.

Thank you.

Dear God...

I need a coffee right away.

I'm too old for this.

- Here.
- Thanks.

We have to get the lorry out.

We're filming.
It's the last day.

Besides, I can't drive.

We have to move the lorry
in case someone comes.

I bet they're looking
for him. We park it...

in any old place,
then back to normal.

Yes, and soon. End of story.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Salgado. Investigative
Police Force.

Are you here about the eviction?

Are you the motel owner?

Yes.

I'm here about one
of your guests.

His name is Eligio.

Oh, yes. Is he all right?

He was found dead
over the border.

Oh, the poor soul...

We're leading the
case from Galicia.

We found one of
these sweet wrappers

where the body was found.

That's why I'm here.

And how can I help?

Do you remember
what room he had?

Yes, of course. Just a second.

Well, I think it was

room four.

When did he check in
and when did he leave?

He arrived late
afternoon two days ago,

left early next morning.

Was he alone, did
anyone visit him?

Maybe he met someone.

As far as I know,

he had a drink at the bar,
then went to his room.

Do you remember
what car he drove?

No.

I don't, officer.

The years don't go by in vain.

I'd like to see his
room, number four.

Sorry, I can't do that.

- Why?
- Because it's occupied.

One of the few that
still has hot water.

As you can see, we
can't throw away money.

That's why part of
the motel is closed.

I didn't see that
in your guest book.

I suppose I don't
need to explain to you

why some guests prefer
to go incognito, do I?

But if you want,

I can let you know
when they finish.

No, there's no need.

Thank you for the information.

Salgado.

Just what I needed.

Who was that?

A cop.

Asking about Eligio.

We're done.

Jesus, calm down.

He's annoying, asked
lots of questions,

but there's no proof.

- Now we do have to move the lorry.
- Soon as possible.

Don't worry.

It'll be safer tonight.

Who the hell is she?

Any clues about Eligio
Montero's death?

Leave me alone.

What is it you don't get?
I have nothing to say.

Look, I know you're
doing your job.

But I'm doing mine, too.

I've been investigating
for months, so come on,

give me a headline, okay?

All that glitters is not gold.

Could his death be linked
to feuds between gangs?

For just 15 euros a month,

your customers can enjoy
the best, updated novels.

I'll gift you a copy
of The Divine Comedy

so you can think about it.

Keep it, my customers are only
interested in the sports press.

Take for this, please.

Sir.

Hello. I know that accent.

You look like a reader.
May I ask a question?

Don't even think about it.

I'll end up eating these books.

Turn it up, please.

Did you see the news? It
doesn't look like a coincidence.

It's normal after all those years
of being a f*cking parasite.

I'll find out what went down.

I like your initiative.

Just one thing: Eligio
was a big fan of Bogart.

They say he even
dressed like him.

He may have checked in
using a character's name.

Got it.

I'll call you.

Legally he can't throw you out
of the flat with no warning.

So I can go back?

You can live there again,

but you'll have to vacate
it in a few months.

Jesus Christ...

Have you spoken to Raúl?

More or less.

I know you don't
want to hear this,

but you should have
given him Alicia.

If you don't do it now,
you could be reported.

Yes, I realise that.
Thanks for calling.

Can we go to Lisbon?

Lisbon? Why Lisbon?

I saw a pamphlet in reception.

It looks nice, and Dori
could come with us.

One day we'll go, sweetie,

but today I need to
run some errands.

You'll stay with Carolina.

And don't eat too
much chocolate.

Promise?

We could go home, too.

The holidays have started.

You want to go home?

Come on, let's go.

I won't even make enough to eat.

Here again!

Don't get in my face, Carolina.

Give me the keys.

Doesn't she know you're married?

I'm getting separated.

Really?

- Does your wife know?
- What?

That you're getting divorced.

I'm waiting for the right
moment to tell her. The key.

Here.

Hey, this isn't my usual room.

Just take it and button it.

Whatever.

Where are you going
all dressed up?

I have to pick up
stuff for Alicia.

Could you take care of her?

Ali, why not go and
see how Dori is?

Go on, sweetie.

I'll be back soon,
okay? Love you.

Thanks for looking after her.

I'll be back soon.

Going to see your ex?

What? Reckon this
is easy for me?

That lorry was my only hope.

I'll try and sort things out,

reach an agreement.

Maybe he'll let us go back home.

Sweet Mother of God!

I don't even have
enough to pay rent!

Think it's easy
to bring up a kid?

It'd be easier if I
didn't have Alicia.

Have you seen her drawings?

Those b*stards never change.

What do you want me to do? Huh?

Not hand over Alicia? What for?

So he reports me and
I end up in jail?

Isn't it worth giving it a try?

For her sake.

But you're not
protecting her that way!

She's my daughter. I
know what I'm doing.

Please yourself.

It's your lookout.

You know it's the only way.

Think of all she's done to you.

But...

she's my mother.

Cut! It's a wrap.

Just a second, crew!

This is Eva Santana's
last day with us.

On behalf of everyone, it's
been an honour working with you

in the last few years. I'm
absolutely sure we'll meet again.

Give it up for Eva, please!

Eva, Eva!

Hi. Do you have a moment?

No, but go on.

I know we didn't talk much,
but I just wanted to tell you

that I've always
looked up to you.

Thank you.

You have a bright future.

I hope we can work
together again.

Sure. I have to go.

Did you steal my stuff?

- Give it back to me!
- No!

- Give it back to me now!
- Get off me!

She's... she's mad.

She's mad!

I'm calling the police.

Sure you'll eat it all?

Yeah, I'm really hungry.

- Want to watch TV in my room?
- No, thanks.

I'm downstairs if
you need anything.

"To go somewhere unknown."

Nine letters.

Disappear.

DISAPPEAR

Done.

Hello, Motel Valkirias.

I told you a thousand times

I don't take bookings
when there's a match.

So? Whoever comes
first gets a table.

Don't give me that
crap! I said no!

No means no! End of story!

We must act as soon as possible.

What judge?

Great. Who else?

Tell him from me
that I'm in a hurry.

Call me when it's confirmed.

How would the TV people know Eligio
stayed at the Motel Valkirias?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

Well find out. It's
your bloody town!

Hope it wasn't any of your men.

Please lower your voice,
and stop doubting my men.

I'd stick my neck out for them.

Where is my office?

Do you know the motel's owner?

Yes, Carolina.

Give me all the info
you have about her.

Even a miserable parking fine!

Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Where's Alicia?

I wanted a word with you alone.

May I come in?

Of course.

Isn't Ana here?

No, she went to spend a
few days with her mum.

Do you want to sit down?

So, what is it?

You know I want the
best for Alicia.

So do I.

She keeps saying she
wants to go back home,

to our house.

My mother already
has new tenants.

Can't you do anything?

For Alicia's sake.

Of course, trust me.

I'll tell her the news,
she'll be over the moon.

I want us to get on, I'm
tired of rowing with you.

I know, me too.

Look,

as a sign of goodwill, Alicia can
stay with you until I sort it out.

Sounds good.

- Thanks.
- No, darling.

- Thank you.
- What are you doing?

- I missed you so much.
- Please don't, Raúl.

- This is for the best.
- Stop it, Raúl.

Please Raúl.

Stop it.

Stop.

Please stop.

Raúl.

Stop it, Raúl.

How did it go?

Fine.

Come here.

Take it easy.

Everything will work out.

Hi.

Hi.

I heard what happened on set.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Can I go now?

They'll call you to
make a statement.

He's reported you for as*ault,

attempted robbery, and
breaking his laptop.

Will I have to pay a big fine?

I don't know, that's
the judge's decision.

You'll pay for the repairs.

Just what I needed.

Why did you want his laptop?

Eva, I want to help you.

I can't believe you
hit him for no reason.

Maybe I'm not who
you think I am.

I'll drive you home.

Wait for me here, okay?

Have you got it, Santos?

Thanks.

It's open.

- What's this?
- Carolina.

You know about this?

That's Carolina's daughter.
And the boyfriend.

They disappeared 18 years ago.

Disappeared? Just like that?

They were heroin addicts.

That changes things.

The whole town looked for
Micaela, she never turned up.

The case was closed due
to lack of evidence.

Anything else?

- No.
- Thank you.

What was all that
racket about last night?

Hooligans locked up an old
guy in one of the houses.

Nothing major, I dealt with it.

- Everything in order?
- Yes.

I'll take the old guy some
food. Feel sorry for him.

Send this to HQ,
this can stay here.

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- Can I help you?
- A room, please.

It's 45 euros a night.

- Ten more if you have a car.
- Fine.

Fill out your details, please.

Then you can sign this.

Against them building a casino.

You don't like gambling?

I don't like being bothered.

I guess this m*rder thing
has kicked up a storm.

Who the hell are you?

Miguel. I'm a book salesman.

So if you like
reading, I'm your man.

Thank you. Here's your key.

Breakfast is from 10 am

and the bar is open...
when it's open.

Something doesn't fit.

I don't know how to explain
it, but it doesn't fit.

I'm sure that motel woman
is hiding something.

Yes.

Yes.

A surprise for me? Go ahead.

Ballistics called.

The g*n that k*lled Eligio Montero
was the same one used in a crime

at a petrol station
30 miles from there.

It's clear that both
crimes were linked.

Exactly. Did you see
the footage I sent you?

Just a sec.

Yes, I'm watching it.

That's Eligio, no
doubt about it.

- Like the surprise?
- Yes.

Eligio may have been carrying
something of value in the lorry.

Don't jump to conclusions. We
still don't know what was in it.

The motel owner said
he arrived on foot,

but what if she's lying?

How long will the
search warrant take?

I'm on it. It shouldn't
take more than an hour.

When we have it, we'll
need all available men.

Hi, Ali!

Ali?

Are you in here?

"Mummy, I'm leaving so everything
will be easier. Alicia."

Ali...

- Did you see Alicia?
- She was in the room.

- sh*t, she's run away.
- What?

Jesus, I told you
to look after her!

I have to find her!

Oh, Carolina.

- We have to move the lorry now!
- What?

- I was at the station.
- Doing what?

- You didn't report us...
- Listen!

They suspect you're hiding something
and are coming to search the motel.

Mother of God!

Get the lorry out of here.

I can't drive.

Do I look like a lorry
driver? Where is Lucía?

Ali!

Ali!

Ali!

Nothing.

She's not picking up.

sh*t! It's Hélder.

Now what?

Take him to your room.

- Don't let him leave till I say so.
- Okay.

All right.

And the lorry?

The damn warrant
is here at last.

Come in.

We're more comfortable here.

Carolina gossips, I don't want
anyone to know where I was.

I only came to see how you were.

- You vanished, you didn't wait.
- I know.

Sorry...

This is all very awkward for me.

I won't keep you,
you must be busy.

- I can leave now...
- No.

I mean...

I'd rather you stayed.

I'd like to have
someone to talk to.

Lately my life has been crazy.

Because of Gonzalo?

Is he your boyfriend?

Boyfriend?

No, of course not!

He's much younger than me.

Eva,

I know there's something
you're not telling me.

I want you to know
I'm here for you.

Do you mind if I take a shower?

A quick one. I won't be long.

It's been a tough day.

I must smell awful.

- I'll wait in the bar...
- No, no!

Wait for me here.

- I won't be long.
- All right.

Sweet Mother of God...

make sure the kid is okay.

Protect her, Blessed Virgin,
so nothing bad happens to her.

And please, please
give me a sign.

Lucía, listen to
me. I found Alicia.

But is she okay?

Yes, she's here.

But forget that now, you
have to move the lorry.

The cops are going
to search the motel.

Jesus Christ! I'm
on my way right now!
