MUTED

[atmospheric music playing]

[car engine starts]

[sighs]

[heart rate monitor beeping rapidly]

His heart rate's 160?

[Greta] That's weird.

He doesn't seem like the type to have a heart attack over being late to work.

[beeping continues]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Ana] Where is he going?

[Greta] Mikel, he's changed direction.

[Mikel] No fucking way.

Where's this guy going?

[suspenseful music continues]

He's crossing Isozaki walkway.

[Ana] Mikel, follow him.

What's he doing?

Where the fuck did this guy go now?

Holy shit.

- [Mikel] No fucking way! - [horn honks]

[groans]

[suspenseful music continues]

Mikel, he's crossing over the avenue.

- Philip, activate Mikel's location. - Copy that.

[suspenseful music continues]

He's on Ercilla Street.

His heart rate is 190 and rising.

- That's the street I'm on. Where is he? - He's about 15 meters ahead of you.

[Greta] Heart rate 205.

Where is he?

[Ana] You should see him.

Well, I don't see anything. Are you sure that thing works?

You must see him, he's right in front of you.

[Mikel] Okay, shit, what do you want me to do?

Mikel, he's right on top of you!

Goddamn it, I'm saying there's no one here!

[suspenseful music builds]

[Greta] Mikel, get out of there!

[heart rate monitor beeping]

[Sergio] You're the guy from the subway.

Mikel! Mikel, can you hear us?

[device beeps]

Shit...

[chilling music playing]

Stop following me.

[exhales]

Holy shit.

Jesus!

[computer beeps]

[Mikel panting]

[Mikel, panting] I'm fine.

[Marta] Why do you think it was me?

It could've been any of your people.

[water running in toilet]

I know it was you.

Stop wasting my time and tell me what you said.

[Marta] Mm-hmm.

I'm tired.

Yeah, well, I'm tired too.

Don't you get it, Ana? You can't just treat me like that.

Don't put this on me.

I'm not the one who's behaving irrationally.

Let me tell you something.

There are many months of hard work, many people,

and lots of money invested in this.

If it all goes to hell because of you, there will be consequences.

If I told him anything, it's because I feel bad.

But he doesn't know about the cameras, or the flat.

What exactly did you say to him?

That he's been watched since he left the center.

[tense music playing]

Now we might not be able to further the case.

It was such an irresponsible thing to do.

Well, fine, then!

I'm the only one risking something here.

So if this circus does go to hell,

well, fine with me.

According to what Marta told me,

the investigation has been compromised, but not necessarily ruined.

Sergio knows he's being followed, but he thinks it's by the police.

Following him by car is useless now, that's clear.

[Cabrera] You really want to continue?

You have a better plan?

[Cabrera] Ending this before someone really gets hurt.

I'll even write the final report if you want.

It'll just be one page.

"Sergio Ciscar is a psychopath and always will be."

We'll send him back to the center to finish his sentence.

How's that sound?

While it's possible to finish this investigation

with any amount of rigor,

I'll keep going.

[Mikel sighs]

Anything to add, Mikel?

I think we started this out wrong.

So what are you saying?

I was hired to investigate if Sergio's reintegration was possible,

but this has turned into something else, something strange.

It seems like we're trying to prove that... that this guy is innocent.

That Sergio Ciscar is... is a victim.

He was a minor when it happened.

You saw what he went through with his mother.

- [Mikel] Yeah... - [Greta] Yeah, we all saw that, Ana.

But maybe no one else took it as personally as you did.

I don't know.

- Because I care about my work. - [Greta] We all do.

But that's why it's important to keep a level head

and see Sergio Ciscar for who he is.

The object of the investigation and that's it.

[tense music playing]

I'm the problem here.

Is that it?

- [Greta sighs] - [Philip sighs]

I respect your opinions. Really.

But I think that you're wrong.

I designed the investigation,

and I don't need to be reminded what our objectives are.

Some new data has come to light, and we can't just ignore it.

This boy, Sergio Ciscar Polo, was a victim of domestic violence.

He's had no choices in life.

And our duty is to help him.

No, our duty is to watch him.

[computer chiming]

[Ana] What?

[continuous beeping]

[Ana] What's happened?

[Mikel] We lost the signal.

[Ana] For all the cameras?

[Mikel] It looks like there's a system failure.

If this is because of you...

Do I look like a hacker?

I can barely use my phone.

[Sergio breathing heavily]

You know, you can pray and work at the same time.

The police are watching me. They won't leave me alone.

Yeah. That's normal.

You haven't finished your sentence yet.

It makes sense that they'd want to check on you every now and then.

[Sergio breathing heavily]

They spy on me 24 hours a day.

[tense music playing]

Today, I saw a car following me.

On my way to the bus stop.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

And it was the same guy

that followed me on the subway the day I got out of the center.

That's bad.

[clicks tongue]

Bad.

Bad.

They have absolutely no right to do that to you, Sergio.

No right at all.

That's bad.

Come here, come here.

God has brought you to us,

to be reborn here.

I'm not going to allow anyone or anything

to stop me from doing the job that was entrusted to me by our Lord.

Mm?

You're very important to all of us.

I just want to be worthy of our Lord.

I've apologized.

I want to find Noa.

And I'll help you.

Of course I will.

Hmm?

We will be your new family.

Okay?

You deserve it. You deserve it.

I am personally going to take care of everything you just told me. Okay?

Don't worry.

You have no idea

how many good things you brought along with you, when you came back to us.

You remember Arantxa?

Our little wandering ant has returned.

Mm?

Apparently, she saw you on TV

and decided that she should give God a second chance.

Isn't that right, Arantxa?

Okay.

To be honest... I ran out of money.

But I did see you on TV, though.

[Natanael] Sergio. Come on.

- There must be something we can do. - I don't know.

We'll see if we can save the hard drives.

[tense music playing]

[knocking on door]

[door opens]

[Greta] May I?

Ana?

I'm on your side, Ana. Okay?

[chuckles]

I'm serious.

[scoffs]

As long as there's a possibility it could work,

I think we should continue with the project.

[Ana sighs]

And I think there is.

If there's one thing we know, it's that Sergio's sister is his weakness.

Why don't we try to find her?

Maybe talking to her will give us a clue or idea about what to work on.

No.

Consider it. If you really think Sergio is a victim...

That girl is a victim as well. She lost her parents and her brother.

And I'm not going to make her deal with something so traumatic again, got it?

Just an idea.

[door closes]

[indistinct chatter]

[unsettling music playing]

[Ana] Mikel.

Yes, Ana. I'm not in the flat right now.

Yeah, I know, don't worry.

- You'll be back soon, right? - Um, yes. Did something happen?

Uh, no, everything's fine, don't worry.

I just have to go deal with a personal issue.

[tense music plays]

[Ana] It's nothing.

I'll be back later this evening. If there are any problems, call me, okay?

- [Mikel] Okay. - [Ana] Great.

Okay. See you later. Bye.

[Cabrera] The doctor has personal issues. Who would've thought?

So is that all you wanted to tell me?

Today, I'm going to give you two fantastic reasons why we're here.

Oh, yeah?

The first one.

I like to celebrate victories by getting my car washed.

The deluxe package.

If by victory you mean wiretapping the doctor,

it's really not that big of a deal.

Oh, that's not the victory.

I consider that more of a safety measure so we aren't caught off guard anymore.

All this water, soap, and wax is because of the videos.

You mean they're gone?

- Permanently. - Wonderful.

We really should go somewhere nice to celebrate that kind of news.

Instead of sitting in a car wash.

[Cabrera] Aren't you gonna ask about the second reason?

And what is the second reason?

It's impossible to record a conversation in here.

Ah!

Come on! You really think I would...

Journalists, judges, lawyers...

They can never be trusted.

I didn't know you were... well, so bitter about it.

[chuckles]

[man sighs] Talking to these students is like talking to a brick wall.

I don't know how to motivate them.

Well. It was like that when I was a student, too.

But I was younger then.

I need to ask you some questions about Blanca Polo, since you knew her so well.

Well, you knew her too.

Yeah, but I know you two were friends.

You were like a daughter to her. Blanca really cared about you.

She treated me better than my mother.

You know, it's not easy to raise a daughter who is gifted.

I know. It's also not easy to feel like your mom doesn't care about you

and just wants to show you off to her friends.

- Do you want to resume therapy? - No.

All right.

What do you want to know about Blanca?

I was able to get funding for a study on Sergio Ciscar's behavior

during his probation period.

Did you know Blanca medicated him against his will?

[exhales]

[Ana] I saw videos recorded by his sister.

- [man] Yes, yes, I knew. - What do you mean you knew?

Blanca asked me for absolute confidentiality.

Sergio is very intelligent, as you know.

And she soon found out he was gifted,

but also that he had problems with self-control.

He was having violent episodes.

And it became her obsession.

She started to study him and even tried to treat him with drugs.

[Ana] Which drugs?

Her husband ran clinical tests at the hospital.

He collaborated with several laboratories.

Come in, don't worry about stepping on them.

When Blanca died, I emptied her office.

I didn't want anyone to see her the way that you're starting to perceive her.

There. Everything's in there.

No, no, no. Take it, take it with you.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

Thanks.

Ana.

Your mother couldn't handle the fact that you were special.

And neither could Blanca.

[girl 1 laughing] So cool!

- [girl 2] No, because... - [girl 1] Shit.

[phone vibrating]

[phone vibrating]

[girl 2] Ugh, just what we need.

Since she hooked up with...

Hey, Sergio.

[Sergio] I called you.

Sorry, I was busy.

Listen, the association is gonna help me find Noa.

But I don't think they're gonna let me get that close to her.

So, I'm gonna need...

I'm gonna need someone to go see her

and tell her about me.

Me?

You know me and you know Noa.

Marta?

Fine, okay, I'll help you.

Okay, great. Noa turns 16 tomorrow.

I wanna get her something. Wanna come?

I can't right now. But if you want, tomorrow,

after you finish at the greenhouse, I'll meet you at the walkway. Gotta go.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

[door closes]

- [Marta] Hi, Mom. - Hello. You okay?

- Yeah. - Did you run into someone?

Who would I run into?

Sweetie, the neighbors are on the warpath.

- They say something? - No, they didn't have to.

Whenever I walk by, everyone shuts up. Not even a "good morning."

But I understand them. It's you I don't get.

- Again? - Yes, again.

Honey, why do you keep seeing that guy?

- [emotional music playing] - [TV playing in background]

What about you? Are you okay with what's happening?

Juanma, it's like you don't even care anymore.

[moaning on video]

I just got this.

[moaning continues]

Marta?

[moaning continues]

WEEK 1

AUDIO 01 OBJECTIVES

[Blanca] The subject is a 15-year-old boy

who has shown difficulty controlling his impulses.

In the coming months,

I hope to prove that, with the appropriate drug treatment,

those aggressive episodes will start to disappear.

[Sergio] You told me I could go out!

[Blanca] Well, now I'm telling you you can't, and I'm in charge.

[Sergio sniffles, breathes heavily]

[grunts]

I hate you!

[suspenseful music continues]

- [Blanca] Come on, take this. - [Sergio] I don't want to.

Come on. It'll do you good.

[Blanca] That's it.

As of today, the subject has taken the A-23 serum for two weeks.

There has been a noted decrease in impulsiveness,

both at school and at home.

In his interactions with me,

the level of hostility has been reduced by 17%.

And with you?

I don't know. More or less. Around that.

[Blanca] Haven't you kept a record of the violent episodes?

[Javier] No.

FRIDAY 3/6/15

- [Blanca] Why? - [Javier] Because he's not a subject.

He's our son.

When I get home, I don't want to look at him through a glass,

like he's in the zoo.

[Blanca] But, Javier, this... This is not what we agreed.

We can't help him this way.

[Ana] Where did she take these photos from?

- [computer chiming] - [Greta] Great. [sighs in relief]

[tense music playing]

Hey, you!

I'm Marta's dad.

This is the first and last time I'll tell you.

Leave my daughter alone.

If you take photos, record her, or get close to her again, I swear I'll kill you!

- I didn't do any of that. - I mean it, you hear?

- Let go. - I swear I'll kill you!

Get the fuck off me!

[groans]

[grunts]

[groans]

[Juanma groans]

[inaudible]

[Greta] Can you tell me why you were in Sergio's house?

What if Cabrera had seen you?

But he didn't, did he?

[Greta scoffs]

I don't get you, Ana.

Sergio's mother had been studying him for his entire life.

Everything is documented there.

Blanca was a very rigorous person.

[exhales]

What?

Doctor Polo was your mentor, as well as your greatest influence.

Let's be honest, Ana,

you've been obsessed with Sergio since we started the investigation.

And now this whole thing about some secret treatment...

Greta, I'm not making it up.

Sergio was medicated by his mother.

I found this in his house.

[Ana breathes sharply]

Javier Ciscar, Sergio's dad,

used to collaborate with several laboratories running clinical trials.

I need to know exactly what's in that medication

and if it's from one of those laboratories.

[Greta exhales]

- This is all very weird. - I know.

[Ana] That's why I need to understand it.

[Greta] Listen, Ana, I'll help you.

For the sake of the project and because my career is at risk.

I don't agree at all with what you're doing.

[tense music playing]

[Greta] But I'll take it.

[Ana] Thanks.

[Greta] Don't thank me yet.

Oh, Greta, Greta.

[tense music playing]

[Natanael] Look who's here.

Where were you, huh? [chuckles]

What are you wearing? C'mon, get changed.

You have ten minutes to get ready and presentable.

What is this?

What is this?

Mm. How should I put it? Something wonderful.

Wonderful. Come here. This was Silvia's work of art.

Look who's here, Silvi.

This is the gift from God that we have all been waiting for.

The quickest possible way for you to be reunited with your sister.

Isn't that what you wanted? Mm?

You know what we're going to do? We've organized a press conference here.

You'll be able to tell them everything.

How you're being followed, how they won't let you be.

How all you want is to live, with your sister, in peace, yeah?

Tell them you're not that little punk

that they insist on showing on the news every day.

That you're a new man now.

And that you carry God within you.

And that we all support you.

That we're the only ones supporting you

because we can see the changes that God has brought about within you.

- Mm? - No one cares about that.

You're wrong. So wrong.

The only thing you have to do is

tell them all about your story, what happened to you.

How fortunate you were to find your way to us,

and how you were able to let the Almighty into your heart, little by little.

That you're getting baptized.

It's quite a story!

And then you think they'll leave me alone?

I have absolutely no doubt.

Sergio, you have become an icon for souls who have been lost

and found their way again.

"Come to Renacer."

"We'll solve all your problems, and we'll even teach you how to garden!"

Is that it?

Sergio, come here. Don't be cynical.

I don't deserve this.

I deserve some respect, and you're being rude.

Are you making a lot of money for all this?

Or do you just want more Arantxas?

One isn't enough?

[camera clicking]

I will not allow you to speak to me that way, Sergio!

I work myself to the bone to get this job done!

- Sergio. - You have no idea! Stay out of it, Silvia!

Stay out of this! You have no idea what we're talking about!

[Silvia] The journalists, Natanael.

Okay, don't worry. Everything's fine. Okay?

Please, calm down.

Stop recording...

She might have no idea, but she's a much better person than you.

[camera clicking]

Fine. Got that off your chest?

Are you calm now?

Just relax.

Don't touch me.

Calm down, Sergio.

- Calm down, please. - Don't come near me.

- Please, Sergio. - I said stay away!

Calm down, Sergio.

What're you doing?

Sergio, put that shovel down.

Everything's all right. Everything's fine. Don't record this.

Everything's fine!

Put that shovel down, Sergio.

Put that shovel down.

Find God in your heart again. Do not let the devil in, Sergio.

Good choice. Begone, Satan, begone.

Everything's all right, you can calm down. It was just nerves. The tension.

Probably just stage fright, huh?

[car revving loudly]

- [tires screeching] - Hey, what the fuck?!

[Greta huffs]

Hey, watch where you're going.

You realize you scared me to death?

You were lucky that it was me. Someone else might not've stopped.

- In time. - At the crosswalk? You think so?

Let's get a drink.

- [scoffs] - We have to talk.

About?

About your jaywalking.

Jesus Christ...

[car engine starts]

[Marta] Hi.

Where have you been?

- I was job hunting. - Yeah, sure. I'm not stupid.

Papa, what happened to you?

Why don't you ask Sergio? He almost killed him.

Sergio?

Yeah, yeah. Sergio.

He pushed your father and broke his arm.

- But why were you with him? - [Rosa] We didn't know what to do.

We called Eneko, and he drove us to the hospital.

He was so kind to us. He even waited to drive us back home.

- Thank God he was there. - Does it hurt?

I'm fine, honey.

No. He's not fine.

[intriguing music playing]

HAPPY

[indistinct conversation]

Marta!

How are you?

What's wrong?

I just wanted to say thanks.

For helping my dad.

Of course. It was nothing.

Hey, uh, we're gonna go get a drink. Wanna join?

[girl] It's gonna be fun.

You should come with us.

I should get back to my dad.

Your mom's there.

I'm sure it'll be fine if you come out for just a couple of drinks with us.

Yeah?

Fine.

[Eneko] Okay.

See you tomorrow.

[door opens and closes]

[Mikel] Where's she going? It's not even 7:00.

- Hi. - I'm sorry.

Why even have a phone?

I couldn't... These past few days have been complicated.

Yeah. As always.

- Well thanks for asking, my day was great. - How'd it go?

Very well, actually.

You missed a dozen teenagers playing PlayStation all day at full volume.

Yes, it was today, Ana. And you forgot, once again.

Mom?

Happy birthday.

- Thanks. - How was it?

It was good.

Do you want to watch a movie with me?

- I wanna read. - Right.

Ana, I saved you some cake.

Thanks.
