What are you doing?
Good morning.
-Did you sleep well? -Yes.
-Okay, I'll stop now. -You're not stopping!
-I'm going to shower. -Okay.
That's enough, you'll make yourself sick. Go.
I'm heading out. I'll be back soon.
-Bye. -Bye.
Violeta, um…
I know you're going to say I'm a paranoid freak, whatever,
but I just saw Elmer lurking around Sabela's place.
I don't know. Call me.
FOUND DEAD AT HOME UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
Slow. Go slowly.
Milky, let's go!
Milky, let's go.
Come here, come. Here, very good.
THE GARDENER
Please.
Move aside.
Let the van through, please, move aside.
All right. Move along, please.
Thank you.
The forensics team is here, along with local police…
Violeta, call me when you get this, okay? I'm freaking out.
Quite a stir in the office.
What's going on, are we getting our bonus or something?
They found Sabela Costeira dead in her home this morning.
You're kidding.
I wouldn't rule out that this is tied to our case.
Sabela and Mon hated our guy's girlfriend.
Maybe he lost it again. We should look into it.
Homicide's handling the case.
It looks like a robbery gone wrong.
Are you mad at me?
Are you trying to get suspended?
No one saw me.
So we're the only ones who know about the trespassing.
We agreed to do this together.
Tell me something, Torres.
Have you ever done anything even remotely against the rules?
-No. -Exactly.
You should've seen how those leaves glowed.
They looked like Christmas tree lights.
It's strange, isn't it?
All these people serving as fertilizer for plants.
Yeah, but we need to prove it.
And to do that, we need a judge to sign a warrant.
We'll show her the photos.
And since you're suddenly an expert after two hours of online investigation,
she'll just give it to us.
It was three hours.
We need an expert to write up a report on those spots.
We're trying to understand how a body decomposes
and what happens to the surrounding environment.
It's called a decomposition island, right?
-Have you studied this? -Well, a little.
We're investigating the disappearance of several people
and we think they might be buried in a location we've identified.
We have some photographs.
-Could you take a look at them? -Sure.
A decomposing body releases a lot of nitrogen.
It's a great fertilizer that stimulates plant growth,
and makes the leaves an intense shade of green.
But this overgrowth could also be caused by other factors.
-We really need something more conclusive. -Right, hold on.
What do you think of this?
These color spots on the leaves could be consistent
with root poisoning from cadmium.
-Can I ask you a question? -Sure.
If I bet on dinner
that there's a smoker's corpse buried under or near these plants,
do you think I'd win?
It's possible.
-Would you put your findings in a report? -Of course.
Well, look who's here.
I knew you'd turn up. Want some coffee?
Here.
All this is all for you.
The money Sabela was going to pay you for Violeta.
With this, you can go to Mexico.
Thank you, son.
I can finally go back home.
Did you ever consider turning down a job in case something bad happened to me, Mom?
Or did you not care?
It wasn't that I didn't care, Elmer, I just knew nothing would happen to you.
You have a gift.
No, I don't, Mom, so don't call it that.
-Did the hospital call you? -No.
-Elmer? -What?
Have you told her yet?
No, but I will.
And she'll still love you when she finds out?
Let's hope it lasts.
Elmer, I've left.
Don't look for me, please, because I don't want to be found.
I know you're a…
Well, I know that… I know what you did to Sabela.
I should've gone to the police, but I don't know.
Maybe part of this
is my fault too, so…
I'll give you time to get away.
But after that, I'm going to the police.
Goodbye.
Jesus.
Shut up, stupid dog.
Was this your doing?
What are you talking about? How could this be my doing?
Don't start, Elmer.
Why would I bite the hand that feeds me?
I need to talk to her.
Elmer.
-What? -Come here, please, sit down.
Sit down.
She knows what you did.
There's no going back now.
It's only a matter of time before the police comes.
So you can still come with me to Mexico.
Jesus Christ.
Shit.
Who are you?
Be good. Behave, it's all going to be fine.
What are you gonna do?
It's nothing personal.
This is just a job.
A job for whom?
I can't help you. I never ask questions.
Everyone minds their own business.
Please, don't hurt me, I swear I won't tell anyone.
I'll leave, you'll never see me again, I swear.
Take it easy. It'll be quick. It won't hurt, I promise.
Damn it.
PRIVATE NUMBER
Elmer, I killed a man. I… I didn't mean to do it.
He came after me. I didn't mean to do it. I'm sorry…
-I don't know… -Are you okay?
-I don't know what to do. -Where are you now?
Yes, I'm… I'm fine. I killed…
I'm in a forest, but I have no idea where. I…
Okay, send me your location and I'll come find you. Don't move.
Elmer!
Where are you going?
I'm talking to you, Elmer!
Goddammit, this kid…
INCOMING CALL CHINA JURADO
Orson. Tell me it's done.
Things didn't go well for Orson.
I know who you are.
-Seems to me like-- -Viole?
-Hi. -Viole?
Hello?
Violeta?
Vio?
Wow.
Come on, leave that.
-Doesn't this seem a bit weird to you? -You should see my place in the morning.
Will you stop with the fucking crap? I'm worried.
Look, Viole taking off like that without warning…
It's not normal, but I don't know.
She's not answering my calls or my WhatsApp messages either.
-You think she ran away? -From what?
From Elmer.
You're paranoid about that guy.
I saw him lurking around Sabela's house last night when she was killed.
What?
-Why didn't you tell me sooner? -I don't know. Because…
Because you all say I'm paranoid, and maybe I am, you know?
Maybe I'm losing it, and the guy's normal, but--
You're not losing it. That guy's really weird.
-We should go to the police. -Yeah.
FROM: INTERNAL MAIL SUBJECT: NATIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN
COURT OF INSTRUCTION NO. 2 SEARCH WARRANT
It's here. We just got the search warrant.
-Yes! -Yes.
You call forensics. I'll handle security arrangements.
We've got them, Torres.
All right, everyone.
So, as you know, the judge is only letting us
search the outside of the nursery.
You'll be working in the green zone marked on the map.
Let me know if you have any questions.
You can tell she's an actress. She knows how to make an entrance.
A real artist.
Good afternoon.
Is something wrong?
Mrs. Jurado, we have a warrant to search your property.
Everything's in order. You can read it while we work, if you don't mind.
May I?
Go ahead.
But you won't find anything.
We'll see about that.
Let's go!
Around the back!
What the hell is this?
-Dig it up. -There's nothing here anymore.
They might find remains.
They could always say the soil came from somewhere else.
What the hell are you doing, Torres? Why don't you go hug a damn tree?
This is not over, I promise you.
We're leaving.
Look what I've got for you, Mr. Orson. You'll love it.
Youth, divine treasure.
We've got company, Orson.
Can you help me turn off the light, please?
Hello.
We'd like to report a missing person.
Detectives Torres and Carrera are on an operation.
You can take a seat and wait.
Aren't there any other officers we can talk to?
If it's a missing person, they're the ones you need to see.
Thanks.
She still hasn't picked up.
Violeta!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
His name was Orson.
I know because that's what your mom called him.
Can you explain that?
Sabela Costeira paid us to…
To make you disappear.
Are you a family of killers?
I'm sorry.
I thought killing Sabela would put an end to the problem, but no…
I didn't consider my mom.
Right.
I need to get out of here.
-No, Violeta. -To a small village or Portugal--
-You don't. -There'll be an investigation.
-They'll find the body and know it was me… -Calm down.
-I'm going to jail. -Violeta.
I'll take care of everything.
Put these on.
Did you make Mon disappear too?
How many others?
Eleven.
Why didn't you kill me?
Because I couldn't.
I studied you. I knew you were going to walk Milky in the woods.
How were you gonna do it?
What matters is that I couldn't.
And then you kissed me.
-Kissing you saved my life. -It changed everything.
-What changed? -Me.
You changed everything in me.
I know you have 32 freckles on your face, 13 marks in your left iris,
and that when you're nervous, you bite your lower lip.
You've never been in love before, have you?
No.
You must think I'm a weirdo.
Not at all.
Hello. Hello, baby.
Thank you.
Violeta, where are you?
-I'm heading back home. -Are you okay? You sound off.
Yes. I'll tell you later.
I need to see you. Where are you?
At the police station. With Lúa.
-Why? -Didn't you listen to my voice message?
-No. -Damn it.
Last night I saw Elmer lurking around Sabela's place,
and this morning she was found dead.
I'm sure he's involved.
No. Elmer wouldn't hurt anyone, seriously.
Catuxa, you have to trust me, please.
Okay.
Come on.
I can't understand what's gotten into you. This isn't like you.
What were you thinking?
Sir, we followed procedure during the investigation.
Don't give me that crap.
You know damn well you should've taken it to Homicide.
That was our plan, but the evidence wasn't solid enough.
-That's why we searched the nursery. -They're guilty, Chief.
Well, congrats, because you just screwed up big time.
We'll get them, sir. We know how they operate now.
If they try again, we'll catch them.
You're assuming you'll still be working here.
Our killer might also be responsible for Sabela Costeira's death.
Thanks for the info, Carrera.
But we've already found him.
He crashed his car on the road to Portugal.
Don't worry, I've seen worse, and in the end, it's all fine.
I hate to say it, but he's right. I really messed up.
Don't take all the credit. I helped too.
Want to grab a beer?
I have to go home.
See you around, Torres.
Your buddy Orson is dead.
I spoke to her, Elmer.
Violeta's fine, in case you're interested.
-You told her, right? -Yes, I told her.
No one in their right mind would stay with me knowing what I've done.
This is the moment we've been waiting for. We can leave now.
Where did you leave the money?
Is this what you want?
This is my money.
Because I killed those people.
The police came today.
With a search warrant.
You know what I had to do?
I had to dig up everything down there
before they arrived,
and dump it all in the sea.
Congratulations.
Here's your cut.
-What's wrong with you? -You already had Sabela Costeira's money.
But you insisted on killing Violeta. Why?
To keep you alive.
To save you.
You've got a tumor growing in your brain.
I want you alive.
You did it for love?
Fine.
Burn the money.
Burn it.
Burn all the money, Mom!
Burn it!
Burn the money, Mom!
You can't do it!
Put that down.
-Oh, Doctor. -Yes.
I found him on the floor. I think he hit his head.
Leave it to us, Mrs. Jurado. I'll let you know when we're done.
Viole.
Do you need anything?
No.
Come on. Tell me what you need.
Just tell me what you need, and I'll do it.
Wake me up in…
In two years, when this is all over.
Well… You'll get over him.
No.
No. I won't get over him.
And you know what's worse?
This city won't stop reminding me
of everything that's gone wrong in my life.
My parents.
Xoan.
And Elmer.
I can't stay here.
I can't take it anymore.
It's open, girls.
Let's go.
Don't close it.
You got it?
Well…
-Let us know when you arrive. -Yeah.
Thank you.
Hi.
Everything went great.
I can't move my arm.
This one?
That's normal, sweetie.
The doctor said it'll be like that for a few days.
But it'll go away soon.
Because you did great, Elmer.
I didn't want surgery.
You passed out, Elmer.
I remember what happened at the nursery.
What happened was what had to happen, son.
You nearly killed me.
Nearly.
Yet here you are.
Here we are.
Together.
Thank you, God. Thank you for saving him. Thank you for keeping him here.
Thank you for making everything turn out perfectly.
May it always be this way.
Always.
The surgery took away his emotions, but Elmer was alive.
And he went back to his plants, to his gardens…
and his greenhouse.
At first, I thought that, with time,
our lives would go back to the way they were before.
But they didn't.
He never forgave me.
But any mother in my situation would've done the same thing.
I can sense some resentment in his eyes.
Sometimes I think he's faking it.
Sometimes I think it's traces of the last thing he really felt for me.
And sometimes…
I feel a little afraid.
If I've learned anything in these past few months,
it's that you should always expect the unexpected.
Hey, Elmer.
What are you doing here?
I've been asking around about you.
You stayed in the end.
Yes.
I stayed in the end.
How are you?
Good.
You?
I need your help.
I need you to make someone disappear.
Who?
Torres, I'm at Pedras Negras beach.
Get over here, you won't believe this.
We'll need to close the beach.
