Original subtitles

You only have five days left.

And that group of women?

They're on guard.

If you're looking for the Black Book, it's not there.

If it exists and you have it,

I know a buyer. He's willing to pay a fortune.

I have grounds to believe

that Goya may have been driving the van used to steal the body.

Let me introduce you to my fiancée.

Gael, this is Ítaca.

I want to talk to you, but outside Vitoria.

I love another man and I want to marry him.

I don't like what we're doing.

Kraken won't stop. He'll end up uncovering everything.

A bit late to back out now, isn't it?

The Cervantes Institute has thousands of boxes.

- You know when the Perseids are? - Your birthday.

KRAKEN THE BLACK BOOK OF HOURS

Nobody knew I was at the Instituto Cervantes,

only the security guard.

Unai,

the doctor said you need to rest.

Stop going over it all in your head.

I wish I could.

You...

...that black book...

...means a lot to you, right?

It's not about the book.

Then forget about it!

But Ítaca...

I don't know.

Unfortunately,

there's nothing you can do for her now.

I'll go make you something to eat.

Hello, aitona.

- Is Unai there? - Yes.

There he is, getting some fresh air.

- Hey you! - Hey.

I've been calling all morning, straight to voicemail.

Calling me?

God, you scared me.

I didn't know if you were better, worse...

If you were dead...

That's odd.

Aitona, did you turn off my phone?

I didn't want anyone bothering you!

Well, Grandpa, you nearly gave me a heart attack!

So, any updates?

Going over Goya's background,

I found out she went to the Veracruz school.

The same one where Ítaca supposedly studied.

So Ítaca and Goya were classmates?

So Goya knew my mother.

- Probably. - She lied to us.

I don't know, but I can't ask her

because she's still in Egypt.

So I'm going to the school to see what I can find.

Okay. I'll get dressed and come with you.

Yeah, sure.

Why would you want to rest.

Inspector, what a surprise.

I don't like to wait.

You could have sent me a message.

Don't you always say it's better if we're not seen together?

The more I watch the news, the less I trust phones.

Right, there're a lot of unscrupulous people out there.

How's Kraken?

Recovering, in Vitoria.

Glad to hear that.

Any suspects yet?

You were right.

The book was in the Letters Vault. I should have listened to you.

Well, it's understandable,

it was a rather far-fetched hypothesis.

And was it a hunch?

Or did you have some kind of information you kept from us?

Why would I do that?

Any movement in the trade since the theft?

None that I know of.

That book is probably out of the country in the hands of some spoiled millionaire.

I don't need to pay informants to reach that conclusion.

Pull your socks up.

Sure. I'll keep looking into it.

Thank you.

As I told the inspector, there's no record

of any student named Ítaca.

And unfortunately, no Sisters from that time are alive.

All the documents disappeared too.

I found these yearbooks, and this one is from that year.

I hope they'll be useful.

I'll leave you to it.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

- Okay. - Class of 1972.

Let's see.

Look, look! Here.

- Mikaela Goya. - We've got Goya.

Alright.

Look! Here, here!

Ítaca Expósito.

They were friends.

Looks like the nuns couldn't erase her completely.

So why would she steal her friend's body

and then destroy the evidence?

Well. These photos are 50 years old or more.

Maybe they weren't such good friends anymore.

- Hello? - Mikaela.

- Something terrible has happened. - What's wrong?

I need your help.

I asked the program to search

all publications where the names Ítaca and Mikaela appear together.

And look.

"Great party at the Olivier mansion.

Among the guests were the Goya family

and young heiress Mikaela Goya.

All gathered to celebrate and congratulate the two engaged,

Diego Olivier and Ítaca Expósito."

My mother was engaged to an Olivier?

And here...

she's with Mikaela.

"Among them, the charming younger brother of the groom, Juan,

Juanico, alias Nico Olivier de la Cuesta."

Juan de la Cuesta.

Juan de la Cuesta is the expert and informant from Madrid.

He dropped his first family name?

But that would mean

Juan de la Cuesta knew my mother when he was a child.

I need to talk to him.

I need a favour.

That worries me. But go on.

Call Grandpa. Tell him...

That I was with you here in Vitoria, but I got a headache,

took some painkillers and I'm staying at my flat.

- I'll be back there tomorrow. - But you're going to Madrid.

Flying visit. I'll talk to him and come back.

- But don't let him know, he worries. - Great plan!

That's what you need to do, take the car...

Thanks for understanding.

You're the best. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Come in, quickly.

This way.

You'll be safe here.

The house belongs to my family, but no one's been here in years.

They won't find you.

I didn't mean to.

It was an accident, I don't know how...

What you need to do is stay inside,

keep the curtains drawn and make no noise.

If everyone thinks the house is empty, it will be fine.

I'll have to stay here until the baby is born.

I'll keep an eye on you.

I'll bring supplies and whatever you need.

Oh.

Here.

Your savings.

Thank you.

You've kept them safe all this time.

Mikaela,

if they find me, they'll charge you as an accomplice.

You helped me back at school.

I owe you, my friend.

I'm leaving now.

Before any nosy neighbours notice activity here.

I'll be back soon.

Thank you.

Oh, and the phone line still works.

So if I find out something urgent and can't come, I'll call.

- Okay. - But, above all,

no one can see you.

You can't go out.

Understood?

Gael, it's me.

I need to see you, it's very urgent.

Good afternoon. Juan de la Cuesta's office.

- First floor on the right. - Thank you.

Hey, Kraken.

I see you've recovered. I'm glad.

Do you know Ítaca Expósito?

No, it doesn't ring a bell. No, no.

What about Diego Olivier or Mikaela Goya?

No, I don't know who you're talking about.

You're asking the wrong person.

I'm in a rush, I'm meeting a writer friend at the Cuesta de Moyano

and I'm already late.

If you'll come with me outside...

You've caught me on a busy day. I need to be at a book signing shortly.

Come back another day and I'll show you the whole place.

Are you sure you never met Ítaca Expósito?

I'm sure.

I'd remember a name like that.

Excuse me, I really must go.

Take care, okay? Take good care.

Mencía,

you have to come to the Cervantes' Society.

As soon as possible.

It all happened so fast.

I don't know how it happened. We were arguing, he hit me, and I pushed him.

- But is he dead? - Yes.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Okay.

Then it was self-defence, wasn't it?

Let's go to the station and explain that.

No.

- No, I can't do that. - Why?

Because I'm pregnant.

I found out yesterday.

That's why I went to talk to Diego, to tell him I wouldn't marry him.

But we argued, and now he's dead.

- Nobody will think it was an accident. - No.

I'm not going to prison with our child inside me.

- No. - What do you think will happen to us?

Mr. Casto will have us killed.

- He can't do that. - He's done it before.

Mr. Casto destroyed Sister Aquilina's family.

He had her father sent to prison and he ordered him stabbed to death

making it look like a fight.

And he killed Sister Aquilina too.

Diego knew and threatened to do the same to me.

Okay.

I'll turn myself in.

I'll say I argued with him, that we got into a fight,

and I'll take the blame, Ítaca.

And you take care of our baby, okay?

- Honey, that can't be. - Why not?

They saw me, they know it was me.

Everyone must be looking for me. Casto, the police...

I can't go back to Vitoria.

No.

I'll change my identity.

- What? - I'll disappear.

That's mad. Please, don't.

And when our baby is born, Mikaela will give him to you.

I'm sure it's going to be a boy.

Unai.

I want him to be named Unai.

I love you, Gael.

I'll love you my whole life.

I have to leave now.

Okay.

I hope this isn't breaking and entering.

You'll take care of that.

Come in, please.

What do you see there?

Engravings and lithographs of naval themes.

18th and 19th centuries.

Valuable, but not too much.

They're not in high demand among collectors.

Now look at that one.

Caliban.

Now look at that massive book.

The Tempest.

Juan de la Cuesta.

He's a collaborator with the Heritage Brigade and one of our best informants.

That's why he knows how you work and how to trick you.

He is Caliban.

Do you think he's the one who hit you?

Maybe.

Or he might have paid Fabio to do it

and then delete the security footage.

Anything to get back what belonged to his family.

To his family?

He's an Olivier.

He kept it a secret.

Cerebral, scheming, and cold.

- An obsessive collector. - More than that.

A child obsessed with revenge.

The perfect ending to his story.

For Caliban to embrace his family's gem.

The Black Book of Hours.

So this is the gem.

A gem that has gotten too many people killed.

I've ordered the backup to approach quietly.

Let's split. I'll go that way.

Hey!

Excuse me.

Hey!

Stop!

Hey! Stop!

Excuse me.

Shit!

God!

Step out! Are you okay?

- Yes. - Sure?

I'm fine.

Don't move. I'm calling for backup.

I need medical assistance for a stab wound.

Fuck.

Move! Move!

Out of the way!

Stop!

Don't you dare move.

Do you always have to do what you want?

Out.

Juan de la Cuesta, you're under arrest on suspicion

of murder, robbery and assault.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed.

I've said it, I'm innocent.

You attacked him with a knife in front of dozens of witnesses.

There's a bookseller muderderer on the loose.

When I saw him running towards me, I panicked.

I thought he was coming for me.

There are many charges I can bring against you.

Theft, kidnapping...

Murder.

You can't prove it.

Let's talk about Ítaca.

And this book.

I don't know anything.

Can I call you Nico?

Nico Olivier.

Juanico de la Cuesta Olivier, right?

Nico,

you're a murderer.

Why?

I thought Edmundo had the black book.

But it turned out to be a copy.

Sarah Jordan...

devised a plan for Ítaca to forge it

so she could deceive Edmundo by returning that copy to him.

And my mother?

Ítaca killed my brother.

My grandfather went mad. He went bankrupt.

Your mother destroyed my family.

You wanted revenge.

- That's why you wanted to kill her. - No, I didn't want to kill her.

Kidnap her, yes. I kidnapped her.

But she never saw my face or heard my real voice.

I planned to free her once she told me where the book was.

She was forging it.

She knew where it was. She must have.

What happened next?

Ítaca refused to cooperate.

That's why I called you.

- Yes? - Listen carefully.

You're from Vitoria.

Your family name is López de Ayala,

the same as my brother Diego's friend.

You and only you could be Ítaca's son.

You and only you could find it.

The great Kraken.

Who better than you.

But...

Ítaca escaped and...

everything got complicated.

Bardel's flat.

You pointed me that way.

I can give you his last known address before his death.

I don't know if it'll be useful.

Ítaca's pictures weren't there by chance.

I wasn't wrong about you.

I left them there for you to find them.

What did you do with my mother's body when you stole it?

What?

What are you saying? Why would I do that?

The inspector believes it was to destroy incriminating evidence.

That's false. It's false!

I am not a corpse thief!

We have enough to keep him in custody for now.

What do you think of his reaction when I asked about the body theft?

Well, you're the profiler.

With the other questions he stayed quiet

or took some time to answer.

But on that one he had an automatic, emotional reaction.

A response that comes before the accused has time

to process the information.

The inquiry will clear everything up.

There's still a lot of work to do.

What were you going to do with the book?

Were you planning to swap it for the forgery Ítaca was making?

You're making a mistake.

You've always been my mother's accomplice.

Juan was offended. He wasn't lying.

He may be a killer, but the idea of stealing bodies disgusts him.

What are you getting at?

You stole my mother's body.

With Goya's help, and probably those women from the cemetery too.

Kraken,

calm down.

You may need a little bit of time to process all this.

What I need is for you to stop pretending.

I don't fully get what's going on, but I will find out.

I'll talk to Internal Affairs.

If you do that,

you'll never know the truth.

I'll call you with the address.

Be there at midnight.

And don't bring your phone.

What will I find there?

What you've been looking for all this time.

Who is it?

It's me.

- Hello. - Hello.

Still no one coming here?

No, no one came.

And you haven't gone out again?

Not since I went to see Gael.

- You need to be very careful. - Why?

Mikaela, what's wrong?

Mr. Casto told the police it was an accident.

He doesn't want an investigation.

He has too much to hide.

But that's good news, means they're not looking for me.

My father says he hired thugs to comb the whole province.

What?

He says he'll never stop looking for you and that you'll pay for it.

You and your descendants.

Hello?

Hello!

Open the door.

Open the door! We saw the light on.

Open the door, please. We know someone's in there.

Hello.

Do you live here?

This house belongs to my family.

We live in Vitoria, but I come here now and then to study and reflect.

I see. And why are you using candles?

There's no electricity here.

And as I said, I come here to study.

What happened?

We're looking for a young woman who's missing

and her family asked us to help find her.

This is her picture. Have you seen her?

- No. - Right.

Then you won't mind if we come in and take a look.

That's fine by me,

but my father won't appreciate you entering his home like that.

He's general Goya. Your call.

Well, that won't be necessary. Good night.

Good night.

Esti,

In a few minutes I'll know what's going on.

I need to leave the phone.

I just wanted to say...

Thank you.

Thank you for being by my side.

Hello?

Hello, son.

I saw you dead.

I touched your skin.

It was cold.

Let me explain.

I managed to escape from my kidnapper, from Caliban.

I wanted to warn Sarah, tell her not to touch that book.

It was too late.

No!

When I got to the print shop,

the reaction took effect and the book exploded.

There was nothing I could do for Sarah.

She died instantly.

And I had no strength left to get out of there.

I need your help.

Mencía.

She saved my life.

Mencía...

We need to go.

Let's go.

Let's go!

Let's go.

I got a transfusion just in time.

But I saw your dead body.

Right there.

There was no pulse.

Have you ever heard of tetrodotoxin?

It's extracted from some fish,

like the pufferfish.

It causes instant death.

But in small doses,

it can cause paralysis

and make the pulse undetectable.

You poisoned yourself to fake your death...

...in front of me?

No, not just in front of you.

No.

You uncovered my identity as Gabriela Milton,

and now you know I live outside the law.

I needed a death certificate

to start over

as someone else.

Mencía and Goya retrieved your body from the morgue.

They took a great risk to help me.

Why?

What connects you?

The Egerias.

And that's all I can tell you.

The mysterious women from the cemetery.

I need to know my story.

I need to know...

what made you abandon me.

Why my father made me believe my mother was someone else.

I'll tell you everything.

I have time until tomorrow.

Gael!

What is it?

Where's Ítaca?

I need to see her.

She's not here, Gael.

She's gone.

What? Where?

She had to disappear. It was too dangerous to stay.

But that's not all.

Come.

He's your son, Unai.

He was born yesterday as the stars fell.

I hope it's a sign of happiness to come.

Unai.

I'm going to find your mum, Unai.

I swear I'll find her.

And we'll be a family.

You can't stay in Vitoria.

I already have work in Madrid.

I'm going to a friend's bookshop.

My bags are in the car.

Your duty now is to protect your son above everything else.

That's all that matters.

I will, Goya.

I thought that was no way to raise a child.

Always on the run.

I wanted a family, a stable home for you.

And Gael could give you that.

But you could have come back.

Casto Olivier died decades ago.

I did come back, Unai.

I watched you grow up.

Why didn't you come to me?

I had a right to know who I was.

I did.

On the 20th of June.

I went to the cemetery, to your father's grave,

ready to meet you, to tell you everything.

And I thought I couldn't do that to you.

I had to protect you.

Just as I'm going to do now.

You're going to disappear again.

Love takes such strange forms...

I'm sorry, Ítaca.

You have to go.

May I...?

May I hug you?

I only got to do it for a few hours when you were born.

Goodbye, son.

I love you.

It's alright.

I promise she'll be fine.

She'll be looked after.

I wanted to tell you the truth many times.

But I couldn't.

I'm sorry.

We'll see each other again.

You'll understand why.

You must have known something, Grandpa.

My father came back from Madrid married and with a baby.

The dates couldn't have added up for you.

Gael,

son,

you've had me bound to a promise his whole life

and I kept it.

It wasn't easy, but I kept it.

I think he's at peace with it.

What are you talking about, Grandpa?

He made me promise...

never to speak of it to anyone.

I thought...

he would tell you everything

when you were ready.

He said the truth wasn't so important...

...if it hurt you.

There you are, finally!

What a surprise.

I wasn't going to miss a day as special as today.

Unai, don't disappear again.

I want you close, always.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

There's a slice of cake left. If you're up for it...

Where's everyone else?

Deba's fallen asleep,

and my brother and Grandpa are inside.

And Alba?

She didn't come.

Look!

Make a wish.

I already did.
