A NETFLIX SERIES

What do you know about what happened to me?

David Luque's videos

ended up on a website called Slide.

-Was the logo a slide? -Yes.

It was a website for fetishists.

Lovers of the forbidden.

One of many.

Hey!

Look at me.

I watched your rape on that website.

How do you know it was me?

There were three of them.

You were raped on the beach.

You fought back.

They had to hit you.

Do you have the video?

I'd never hold on to something like that.

Could you identify my attackers?

They're not too visible in the video.

And it wasn't them I was paying attention to.

But there's something I can do.

What?

The website had a forum where users could share private content.

But getting access was expensive.

I have a list with the nicknames of the people in that forum.

One of them might be the administrator.

If you find him,

you'll find your video.

What do you want in exchange?

Ten thousand euros.

Thank you.

Hi. Can we meet up?

Slide.

You're writing an article?

I think it's where David Luque posted his videos.

Remember the icon I saw on his son's computer?

The slide.

I think it's the website logo.

How do you know?

I have a pretty reliable source.

Is that source James Foster?

After David Luque's thing,

I researched the illegal pornography network you mentioned.

I asked around.

What did you find?

Slide.

It housed very, very hardcore porn.

Illegal porn. Sex with minors.

Torture. Rapes.

It only lasted for a couple of years. I think they shut it down in 2010.

What does it have to do with Foster?

Stay away from Slide, Miren.

Rumor has it that powerful people were behind that website.

Costa del Sol mobsters.

Maybe some businessmen and politicians.

Foster.

Fine. When I researched Slide his name came up everywhere.

He belonged to the network, but he wasn't a big fish.

He was a lackey. He was an errand boy.

Thank you.

Miren, be careful.

Websites like that

are where monsters live.

TOTAL BALANCE: €6,700,51 AVAILABLE: €6,700,51

Want something to eat?

Or drink?

I don't want anything.

Just business then.

This isn't 10,000 euros.

No.

There's 6,000.

I don't have that much money.

All right.

I'm as good as gold, as people say.

Come in and I'll give you what you're looking for.

-Close the door, please. -No.

I'm not going to hurt you.

-Where's the list? -Don't rush things.

What are you doing?

We can make a deal.

You want the list. I want to keep a bit of you.

-Bye. -I don't want to see you naked.

I'm not that banal.

Let me take a couple of pictures

and the list with all the names is yours.

If you want to know who raped you,

you need that list.

You have innocence in your eyes.

Just like a child.

You're obedient.

Just like a child.

NINE YEARS AFTER AMAYA'S DISAPPEARANCE

ALL MAIL, INCOMING

UNKNOWN SENDER, TAPE OF AMAYA

DOWNLOADING

GOODBYE

GOODBYE

A kid jumps out a window and you're there.

Now a madman with the tape of a kidnapped kid sends it to you.

Weird, right? You're everywhere, just like a ghost.

I have a theory.

-Do you want to hear it? -Sure.

Do you know why they sent me the tape?

Because I care way more about her than you do.

Stay here.

My baby.

My baby.

-My daughter. -What do they mean?

What do they mean?

What do they mean by "goodbye?"

-What do they mean? -We don't know.

-Where is she? -We don't know.

Nine years! What do they mean by "goodbye?"

-They mean they're going to kill her… -No.

-…if they haven't already. -We don't know.

What do they mean, then?

Say you believe she's alive!

Say it!

I can't say that because I don't know, but I won't stop looking for her.

You better find my daughter alive.

Because if she's dead…

If you don't find her on time and she dies because of you, you'll be in trouble.

You don't know what it's like to be a mom!

You just don't know.

Do your fucking job already.

Belén.

That woman is really hurt.

She knows nothing about you.

Look at me.

Can you get me a cup of coffee, please?

Honey, I'm sorry,

but it's time for you to accept that the girl is already dead.

I don't know that, Mom.

I only trust facts.

You're obsessed with this and it's not good for you. You know that.

Mom, I have to go, okay?

Well…

Miren.

The new video of Amaya

is headlining news programs and trending on social media.

Wannabe celebrities are posting videos on Instagram asking for her release.

How are you?

I'm good.

Listen, Miren, I know this is very hard for you and…

you're really invested in this case.

But, if at any time you feel like you can't go on

or you want someone else to take over--

No. No fucking way.

I'll continue until the end.

You have to understand. I had to ask.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. AS YOU KNOW, TODAY…

Are you okay?

Are we together in this?

Whenever you're ready.

First of all, thank you all for coming.

As you know,

today we received another tape of Amaya.

You all have a copy of those images.

The kidnapper has let us know that this will be the last tape.

They said goodbye.

We don't know where Amaya is. We don't…

We don't know what will happen to her and we fear the worst.

That's why I'm asking the kidnapper to reconsider.

You can keep my daughter if you want,

but please, don't hurt her.

We'd like to announce

that we'll give 100,000 euros

to anyone who has clues that lead us to Amaya.

Let's go. Thank you.

But why offer a reward after so long?

Ana! Please, I have a question.

-Please. -Where did you get the money from?

Please, Ana.

I don't need to tell you that this is bad for us, right?

Amaya was even mentioned in parliament today.

The opposition wants to crack down on crimes against minors.

If the girl is dead, we're fucked.

Me, but also you.

Do you think it's a threat? Will they kill her?

The kidnapper doesn't want money.

They just want to hurt her.

We already know it's personal.

It's been nine years.

We've interviewed the parents a ton and have nothing.

Nobody wants to hurt them.

What do we know about the latest tape?

It was left at the Pompidou museum.

CCTV cameras didn't catch anything and the lab didn't either.

There are no traces on the envelope or tape.

-What about the email to the journalist? -They used a café's Wi-Fi to send it.

It's open to clients, but you can connect from outside too.

The email account was only open for 20 minutes.

So we don't know anything.

Millán.

-Belén. -What?

Are you here with us?

Yes.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

-Why did you leave the meeting like that? -Come here. Quick.

Look.

See?

New toys.

-What if they were bought recently? -Yes, but they could be old.

Or from a box in an attic. We don't know if they bought them.

It's all we have.

We've looked into everything.

We've been to every shop in town and found nothing.

Don't you realize the doll house is a dead end?

You can stay here if you want.

The best attribute

of an investigative journalist is…

tenacity.

You're either born with it or not. It can't be learned.

Curiosity is what defines us.

The desire to put everything in its place, no matter how hard it might seem.

This is the only thing that is worth learning from all this.

That this job

is more about passion than talent.

More about perseverance and hard work than brilliance.

THE ROLE OF THE JOURNALIST

Obviously, everything helps.

But if you're passionate enough about an issue,

it's impossible to let go of it until you find the truth.

Well, that's all for today. Remember that you have exams next week.

You've been giving that speech for ten years.

I give it at the beginning of every year to motivate people.

But then they forget.

So, the note only said "goodbye?"

Have you found a specialist?

What do you think?

Come on.

Rocío's head of the technology department. She's brilliant.

We can trust her.

Tell me what exactly what you want to know.

So, both videos look the same.

The angle is the same, the room is the same

and the lighting is similar.

But something's different.

-Do you see these interferences? -They were common in VHS.

Yeah. This is the 2016 tape.

But, in the 2019 video, the image is much clearer.

They must have changed the heads.

These marks you speak of are magnetic,

left by the head when recording,

but this last video

was recorded with a different head, so there are no marks.

Maybe the old one broke and they changed it.

And are these parts easy to find?

They were in the 90s.

But not now.

You're still here?

Everyone has left.

I didn't want to leave you alone, but I can go home if you want me to.

What if we never see her again?

What if we never find out if she's dead or alive?

Don't think about that now.

If Amaya is dead, I need to know.

I want to bury her and have her with me.

Me too.

Me too. But let's not think about that now, okay?

Álvaro.

If he kills our daughter, I won't stop until I find him.

And when I find that motherfucker,

I'll kill him.

-Do you recognize these toys? -Not really. I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Have you ever seen these toys before?

Are you sure?

-Hi, good afternoon. -How can I help you?

We have some questions about a doll house.

We came here three years ago, but we're updating our information.

I wasn't here then. I took over the shop last month.

Can we talk to the previous owner?

It's a family business. You can talk to me.

Take a look at these photos.

That's the missing girl.

Does that doll house ring a bell?

I don't know if we sold that house, but that furniture is my dad's.

-What do you mean? -The clock and the divan.

My dad makes and paints miniatures like those.

I'm not totally sure though.

Could we talk to him?

He's in the back room, but I'd better go with you.

This way.

Thank you.

Dad.

This maze is broken.

-It's broken. -That toy is fine.

No. It's broken. There's no way out.

These police officers want to talk to you.

-Hi. -Hi. Good afternoon.

We're investigating the disappearance of a girl.

This is the girl. Her name is Amaya.

Your daughter said you may have made these miniatures.

Are they yours?

Come on, give it a shot. Try to remember, it's important.

I'm sorry. I…

I can't. I don't know.

Don't worry.

He has good and bad days.

If he remembers anything, call us.

-It's important. -Of course.

Thank you.

-Thank you so much. -No problem. Bye.

Answer it.

Hello?

Yeah, she's with me.

We're on our way.

-Let's go. -What happened?

Foster.

What's up, Rafa?

Working away.

That's good.

Are you sure one of the bodies is Foster?

Yes, the RV owner.

And the other one?

A man, still unidentified.

How were they killed?

A clean shot to the forehead.

-They knew what they were doing. -They barbecued them to erase any clues.

The same day the tape appears.

Inspector.

-What is it? -We found something. It looks like a safe.

REPAIR SHOPS

S.A.T. ELECTRONICS

S.A.T. ELECTRONICS

Hi.

Hello.

I'd like to repair a VHS device.

I've been searching online to see where to repair this junk.

-I've been asking around all day. -Well, you're in luck.

I'm the Bill Gates of Málaga, but the poor version.

It's a present for my parents.

Give me your contact information, and the brand and model.

These parts take a while, but I'll let you know when they arrive.

It's a Sanyo VCR from 1985.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

Someone brought me one of those to repair a couple of weeks ago.

Same model?

Yes.

Were the heads broken?

How do you know that?

I'm a reporter for Sur.

-Ugh. -I'm writing an article.

Do you remember the customer's name?

If they paid by cash or card?

Look. I won't talk. I don't want to be in the press--

Have you heard of Amaya Martín?

Yes, the girl in the videos.

I'm investigating her disappearance.

I have my own problems, okay?

Get out. Go.

Go on.

Hi, good afternoon.

I'm here to pick up a stereo I left. It's fixed, right? You sent me a message.

-Yeah, it's ready. Give me a second. -Okay.

Hey!

Hey!

You brat!

You bitch!

You bitch!

Stop!

People like us,

all of us women who have been hurt,

and abused, and raped…

SIX YEARS AFTER AMAYA'S DISAPPEARANCE

We all know what a monster looks like.

Behind every cute smile,

behind every innocent word…

You know what I'm talking about, right?

You recognize that smile, don't you?

Behind every impeccable reputation…

they are there.

Nobody else can see them. Nobody.

But we know they're there.

They scare us.

They terrify us.

But we need to stop running away.

We need to stop running away.

We have to look at them

in the eyes

as we stand our ground and say,

"I'm going to confront you."

What do you want?

To ask you some questions.

How many articles have you written about me?

How many times have you written that I'm a rapist?

You are a rapist.

I haven't seen my surviving daughter in years.

She and Rosa had to leave the country.

They couldn't live here.

Not with reporters like you.

Tell me about Slide.

-I don't know what that is. -You don't?

It's the website where you posted the rape videos.

It shut down soon after you were put in jail.

This is a list of all the users of that website.

I need to know who they are.

Do you know who they are?

I wouldn't tell you if I did.

But I can give you some advice.

Forget about it.

You're not fighting against people.

You're fighting against reality.

I'm in here. Locked up.

Have rapes stopped?

Is there less child pornography?

It doesn't matter if you locked us all up.

There will always be someone else who'll do the same thing.

We don't even have bosses.

It's the system.

It's how things work.

There are no bad guys.

This is just how the world is.

And it will destroy you.

Regardless of what you do, it doesn't matter.

Because you've already lost.

NINE YEARS AFTER AMAYA'S DISAPPEARANCE

Yes.

Let me call you back. Sorry.

-How was it? -I have something.

What is it?

Someone fixed this exact same VHS model a few months ago.

I have their address.

Her name is Iris Molina.

A woman?

She lives in the mountains, near a village called Parauta.

-Are you going to visit her? -Yes.

If someone comes asking for this notebook, tell him I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for? Miren!

What are you doing here?

You have to come to the station.

Why?

We found two bodies, Miren,

in an RV in Coín.

One was James Foster and the other was David Luque.

So?

Both were suspects in Amaya's disappearance.

We also found this.

In a safe inside the RV.

What's going on?

Julia.

Julia.

Julia.

You have to decide what you're taking with you.

Julia, can you hear me?

You need to start packing.

Everything else will stay here.

Yes, Mom.
