I am Omar Jamal.
My brothers and I followed the holy orders
of the Quran and the Sunnah.
They said if I did the video, they'd set Ahmed free.
Tomorrow at 11 p.m., he needs to be at this address.
Take it.
I'm not going with a bunch of terrorists.
It's like admitting I killed all those people.
Omar, you confessed in a video millions of people saw.
Go to Madrid today.
When you get there, call this number.
I need to speak to you about your brother-in-law.
Did you kill Gorka?
Did you kill him, Gaizka?
Mrs. Jamal is willing to turn in her son.
I want you to assure me we'll arrest him.
We need to stage an escape to follow him, so he'll take us to Abdul-Azim.
- Did you kill him? - Yes, I had to do it.
Koro, Omar wasn't behind the attack. He didn't do it.
He's a scapegoat.
I had to do it.
I spoke to Gorostiza, and he set it up.
I want two men here and here, on the rooftops.
Take him down the second he steps outside.
Don't move.
Forgive me.
It's OK.
Shoot as soon as he comes out.
Who the fuck told the press?
Abort. Nobody shoot.
I repeat, nobody shoot.
Who are you?
Your new business partner.
Jamal...
this can be very easy or very tough.
We've had evidence incriminating you from the first day.
We know you're behind the attack.
But a confession would make the procedure easier.
Will you help us?
Omar, think it through.
What you say will serve as proof before the judge.
You have the right to remain silent or ask for a lawyer.
You recognize me, right?
Yes.
I'm the guy who killed your pal Ahmed.
The one who set you up as the scapegoat in all this.
I don't need a lawyer.
I hired the van the day before.
I parked up in Zorrotzaure, by the garage where I work.
The following day, after work,
I got in the van and drove to the old quarter.
Tomorrow...
you're going to die.
At dawn, you'll get into a car with me and two of my men.
We'll head off to Bilbao to reconstruct the attack.
We'll leave the highway, you'll try to get away...
I'll shoot you in the head.
I pulled up in the van in Calle Posta.
Some police officers approached me.
They said I couldn't park there...
and told me to go.
I did as they said.
Now, think whether you want to die alone or in company.
My bosses are squeezing me on the budget...
but bullets come cheap.
How many bullets should I use for this?
One?
Or six?
I sped up.
I couldn't see anyone.
They were spots in front of the van.
I remember the sound of them hitting the plate.
Have you ever been in a play?
When you were a kid, at school?
That's what you have to do to save your folks.
I left the van and ran off.
This is your role.
The ruthless terrorist. Memorize it.
I took the tram to get away from the center.
In half an hour, I was in Portugalete.
That's where I saw the news, on TV in a bar.
You lied to me once already.
You said if I claimed responsibility, you wouldn't kill Ahmed.
He saw more than he should.
Besides...
it wasn't my fault,
but yours, for handing yourself in with him.
When I found out I'd only killed eight,
it was a bit of a letdown, in truth.
State what it says here...
and I give you my word I'll only use one bullet.
Yours.
I should've done it better.
...Jihadist cells operating in Europe or Africa...
You know what?
Good work.
I think you should get going.
Stop the vehicle. Attention.
Pull the vehicle over to the roadside.
Good evening, officer.
You were going 120 on a 90 stretch.
Really?
I'm sorry, I didn't...
I guess my mind was elsewhere and I didn't realize, I'm sorry.
Your documents, please.
Yes.
We'll be giving you a ticket for speeding.
Yes.
And we'll test you for alcohol and drugs.
Sure.
- Mr. Azkarate. - Yes?
Your name flagged up when we ran it through the system.
You have to come with us.
Bonjour.
We have to put you to sleep.
All right?
All right.
So, keep calm.
Now count with me, from ten down to one.
- OK? - OK.
Repeat after me, please...
- Ten. - Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Boss.
Is it true Jamal has given a statement?
Yes
He's declared that he did it, he's confessed, but...
But you still don't believe he did it.
Echevarría said he had a confession. As soon as he turns up...
Echevarría is nowhere to be seen.
We went to his house. It's turned upside down, like a break-in.
But no sign of your journalist friend.
Hospitals?
He said he was in danger, we must find him.
We've been to every hospital in the Basque Country.
Do we have the OK to clone his phone SIM?
We just got it.
Good.
Call me when you get some info. I have to hang up.
Give it up, Olaegi.
Take some time out.
Give birth to your son, look after him...
and forget about all this shit.
Things are almost always what they seem.
I was in love with you.
Like a schoolgirl.
When I started my training under your orders...
I was fascinated by you.
By your cool handling.
By your personality.
But, above all, by your commitment to truth.
I remember one night, you invited us to dinner after busting a cell.
I went to the hairdresser, because I wanted to look pretty.
And you said something...
that I'll never forget.
"We shouldn't be satisfied...
because things are not always what they seem."
Exactly the opposite of what you just said.
I don't know when I'll be there.
They haven't told me yet.
Give the kids a kiss.
And remember to pack swim trunks in Aissa's backpack...
they're taking them to the pool today.
- Adila! - Bye.
What are you doing here? And Omar?
Omar's fine. They've arrested him in.
- I told them where he was. - Mrs. Jamal, please. Let's go.
- Hang on, please. - I couldn't do anything else.
I couldn't leave him in the hands of terrorists. He's my son.
Adila, they'll kill him, do you get it?
- No, they promised he'd be fine. - Let's go.
You told me that turning him in was sending him to his grave.
You don't know what you've done. They'll kill him.
You don't know what you've done!
I had to do it.
On TV they're saying Omar's been caught.
It's best for him.
How can being arrested be the best thing for Omar?
You can't always run away.
But they're going to send him to prison.
Not if he's proven innocent.
But on TV they say they have proof.
It doesn't matter what they say on TV, it matters what the judge says.
I don't want the judge to send him to prison.
The judge won't send our brother to prison.
It's Mom who's sent him there.
She's betrayed him.
Because of her, he'll spend the rest of his life in prison.
Because of Mom.
Come in, Mr. Azkarate. Come in and sit.
Please.
I have some bad news.
Almudena Ortiz has suffered an accident.
It seems she lost control of her vehicle and...
it went off the road.
But... is she...?
Yes, she died instantly.
Mrs. Almudena Ortiz had no immediate family, you...
her in-laws, are her closest relatives.
What with your brother, I thought it better to call you than your parents.
Of course, you did the right thing.
I have to ask you for something else.
The body has to be identified.
It's a formality, but it's procedure in cases like this.
I'll send a car to take you to the forensic lab tomorrow.
Please accept my condolences, Mr. Azkarate.
I don't get it, I don't know why he confessed, it's a lie.
Listen, I shouldn't give you any advice, but...
if I were in your shoes...
I'd say he threatened to hurt me and my family if I didn't play ball.
So why are you helping me?
A cop telling me to lie?
Because I understand everything you've done
and what you're willing to do.
I did it because I believe Omar is innocent.
And you believe it too.
It doesn't matter what I believe, Edurne.
There's a whole load of evidence pointing to Omar as the attacker.
I'm not going to lie.
It's up to you.
Let him in.
Omar...
I'll leave you alone.
Are you OK?
Really sorry about the park.
If you came to convince me to declare against you, think again.
No.
Chill.
Why did you lie and say that you did it?
Do you remember the day we hooked up?
5th December.
Technically, early morning on the 6th.
You asked me for a light then kissed me.
You were really shy.
Yeah, I was ashamed. I don't make out with strangers.
You rammed me against a car and almost fucked me right there.
Yeah, you wish!
The next day, I woke up in your house and went to the bathroom.
It was full of cockroaches.
And I hate cockroaches.
I ran up to your room fucking fast.
I was going to get the hell out without saying goodbye...
but I saw you in bed.
You were sleeping, the sun was creeping in through the window.
And you were beautiful.
That's when I decided I always wanted to be with you.
And your cockroaches.
Edurne...
I love you.
And I couldn't bear you rotting in jail for me.
In the hostel...
I tricked you into helping me.
I killed all those people.
I swear.
Go to hell!
The body's in a very bad state, I'll warn you.
Are you ready?
Is this Almudena Ortiz?
I'll leave you alone.
Iker, my dear, bad stuff happens to us all.
Sometimes, these bad things come in floods...
they happen one after the other.
It's as if destiny was putting us to the test.
A few days ago, your daddy went to heaven.
I remember at the funeral,
you asked me if it was really cold in heaven.
You told me it made you feel sad that he was there...
all on his own.
Well, now your mom...
will be with him.
And your dad won't be alone anymore...
He won't be cold...
because your mom...
will be there to hold him.
We're all going to miss her a lot.
You, your grandparents...
and me.
I loved your mom so much, Iker.
I loved her dearly.
Always did.
I loved...
seeing her laugh...
holding her, kissing her...
making love to her...
I loved fucking her.
Your mother fucked wildly, Iker.
Like a wolf.
You should've seen her face when she came.
It was beautiful.
Are you going to tell him?
You'd rather I told him?
- Is everything ready? - Yes, all set.
They're waiting for us at kilometer 89 on the old highway.
They must use regulation arms.
- It has to look like he got away. - OK.
Will the convoy use minor roads?
Yes.
It's clear from his statement that a cell is backing him.
We can't let our guard down.
They could try to free him before we get to the courthouse.
Go with the mother and girl on the highway.
You'll get there before, in a National Police car.
No, I'll go along with you.
The car's full, I need two agents.
I'm the second.
- Near Llanes, do you know the area? - No.
Are you at the meeting point?
You should go. Torimbia is one of the nicest beaches in the country.
On Eche's phone there's a video of Gaizka Azkarate
at the moment of the attack.
Everybody reacted to the accident except him.
He was talking on the phone, but he must have heard the noise.
Eche suspects somebody.
Do you think it could be him?
I've been vacationing there since I got married.
I think so, but I'm not sure what evidence he has.
Well, I go there when I get time off, every eight or ten years.
Do we know who he was on the phone with in that video?
There are some awesome beaches there, not just Torimbia.
Toranda is nearby, it's more for families.
Easier to get to.
In case you want to take your kid.
Yes, an unregistered cell phone.
We've tried to gain access, but it's protected.
I didn't call to avoid sticking my head out.
Give me the number.
Then there's Barro and Celorio...
Loads of movies have been shot there.
We have a problem.
Olaegi is with us.
The Picos de Europa are nearby.
In just half an hour, the beach is a stone's throw from the mountain.
You can go to the mountain in the morning and end the day on the beach.
DIALING UNKNOWN CONTACT SPAIN
We have to make her get out the escort before we stage Jamal's escape.
Think of a way.
Sorry.
Yes, hello.
Hello.
Change of plans, Olaegi has to die too.
Gorostiza called Gaizka the moment of the attack.
NO INTERNET ACCESS
I know you killed Gorka.
I guess that's why you're here.
Jumping's not going to bring him back. You know that, right?
Before you deny everything,
I'll tell you that I heard a recording of you confessing to Almudena,
that you and Gorostiza...
feigned a terrorist attack...
to put an end to Gorka's life.
I guess you're also responsible for Almudena's death.
I've been underestimating you all my life, Gaizka.
I never thought you had it in you to do something like that.
I don't know if you'll jump,
but if you don't...
I want you to do something.
Take care of Iker.
You've killed both his parents.
You'll take him in and bring him up as though he were your son.
Naturally, your mother won't know anything.
In fact, you and I will never speak about this again.
As none of this has happened.
Are you going to jump?
Then, get down from there.
While you were feeling sorry for yourself, I was doing my homework.
Let's go, I have to bring you up to speed.
Dad...
why are you helping me?
I killed Gorka.
How can I be sure the recording won't go public?
Because I give you my word.
Your word...
means nothing.
I need assurances.
There's no guarantee...
you have to take the risk.
Otherwise...
tomorrow morning,
this recording will be headline news everywhere.
All the recordings will be destroyed.
All but one.
An attorney has it.
Not even I can get my hands on it.
If I'm killed, the recording will be made public.
If I suffer an unfortunate accident, the recording will go public.
If I sneeze, the recording will go public.
I know it's unfair, but I've got you by the balls.
NO INTERNET ACCESS
- Something wrong? - No, just protocol.
They've radioed that there's a broken-down truck ahead.
They're going to check it out.
Do you mind if we stop there? I need to pee.
Can't it wait?
If you'd ever been pregnant, you'd know I can't wait.
My bladder's barely the size of a walnut.
My wife spent the last month of pregnancy on the toilet.
Take that track and pull up further along.
I'm not pregnant, but my prostate isn't what it used to be.
They say that your fifties are the new forties.
Bullshit!
How old are you, Olaegi? 34?
- I'm 38. - You look really good for 38.
Thanks. I'll wait for you in the car.
The car's that way.
Put your gun down.
That's not going to happen, Olaegi, and you know it.
What link do you have with Gaizka Azkarate?
How does he fit into the attack?
You're going too fast, Olaegi.
Did you set up the attack?
Well?
What for?
I know you called Gaizka just before the accident.
Really?
Where's your proof?
Is there a cell phone in my name?
Drop your gun.
Drop your gun!
- How do you turn off the signal jammer? - The engine has to be running.
Where are the car keys?
It starts up with agent Morera's fingerprint.
You'll need his finger. Shall I lend you a knife?
- What the hell are you doing? - Shut up! Get out the damn car.
Get out the car, Omar!
Omar, we have a deal.
Omar, don't screw around.
- Omar, look at me. - What are you doing?
Look at me.
You'll pay for what you're doing.
Run.
- Fuck! - Run or I'll shoot you, I swear!
Omar...
- Let's go! - Quick, come on.
I was surprised to get your call, Mr. Azkarate.
- What's wrong with my office? - Don't you like the carpet?
Your office is probably infested with wires.
Quickly, track my position.
And disable the cell phone repeaters within ten kilometers.
I want night to fall on them.
What's this?
Documents that prove that...
the accident in Bilbao was not a jihadist attack.
Around six weeks ago, I met with my two sons.
I told them I'd put Gaizka at the head of the corporation,
at the expense of Gorka.
Gorka didn't take my father's decision very well.
We argued.
One day, we came to blows and...
he threatened to kill me.
The day of the attack, I was sitting on a bar terrace with him.
I got up to go to the bathroom and...
my phone rang. At least... that's what I thought.
Gorka and I had the same company phone.
I answered.
I heard Gorostiza's voice telling me to take cover inside the bar.
He wasn't calling me.
But that error saved my life...
and took my brother's.
NO INTERNET ACCESS
Damn, that son of a bitch!
He's disabled the phone repeaters.
Ok, let's head east.
We'll come across a town.
I can't.
I have to go back.
Make a break for it.
- I have to go back with them. - Are you mad? They'll kill you.
My brother asked him to kill me.
And Gorostiza came up with setting up a terrorist attack.
I know you're lying, Omar.
I know you didn't drive the van used for the attack.
I want to help you to prove it.
But if you go back with them, everything will be over.
I need you alive.
I know I should've reported him, but I didn't dare.
Gorostiza threatened me.
I've met your mom, you know?
And your girlfriend, Edurne.
That's just it...
Gorostiza threatened to kill them.
Is that why you gave a false statement?
- Why you incriminated yourself? - I don't want them harmed because of me.
I don't know what that bastard promised,
but he's already killed eight people.
You say you have evidence?
This is agent Garrido.
He's one of the agents used by Gorostiza to feign the attack.
He's willing to testify.
I'm eight months pregnant.
I can't drag you along.
It's up to you.
I'll talk to the district attorney right away.
- I want you to come with me. - Very well.
Are you all right?
Yes.
You won't have to deliver the baby.
OK.
Picture it.
"Most wanted terrorist helps deliver cop's baby."
That would be a good headline.
Yes?
Don't get too excited about the phone signal.
We've enabled the repeaters momentarily.
But we'll be disabling them again after this call.
- Pass me over to Jamal, will you? - No.
Don't be a fool, pass him on to me.
He wants to speak to me, right?
Give me the phone.
Hands-free is fine by me.
Let me speak to him.
Can you hear me, Omar?
I hear you.
Fine.
Somebody wants to say hello.
Go on, talk to your boy.
- Come on, don't make it worse! - I hear nothing. Who's there?
Mom? Edurne?
Your mother and girlfriend are playing the heroines.
They think if they don't speak, you won't believe I have them.
Mom, Edurne!
- Say something so I know. - Very well.
Mom? Edurne!
I need to know you're there.
Mom!
Mom! Say something!
Speak or I'll shoot her.
Mom, what's going on? Don't do anything!
Speak!
- Don't shoot, please. - Mom!
Don't shoot, please.
- Don't shoot. - I'll kill you if you hurt them.
Mom, speak to me!
Mom!
- Where's Edurne? What's happened? - Nothing, yet.
You've got half an hour to get here. With Olaegi.
Come with her, or else you know what will happen.
I'm begging you.
We have to go back.
They're going to kill them.
What do you think will happen if we surrender?
That Gorostiza will keep his word?
That he'll let them go home?
If he doesn't have you, their lives are worth something.
But they're worth nothing if you surrender.
He'll kill them after killing you.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Try to rest.
The doctor will come in a couple of hours.
Everything has gone well. Your new kidney is fine.
It's done. See you later.
Thank you.
86 MISSED CALLS
In the name of God...
Let's get this circus over with.
Edurne.
Shut your mouth.
- Son of a bitch! - Edurne!
- Bastard! - Don't move, what the fuck...
- No! Don't hurt him. - Stay still.
Sons of bitches.
Let's get this over with once and for all.
Start with that bitch.
- Yes. It's done. - OK, we'll talk later.
Gentlemen...
let's finish the job.
Edurne!
Boss, I was going through the statements,
there's something that doesn't add up.
It's over, Olaegi.
No, listen to me.
I know what Jamal and the Azkarate family declared,
and Gorostiza's hitman.
- But Eche spoke of a... - Enough.
Boss...
I knew Gorka Azkarate...
a lot more than you can imagine.
Gorka may have been many things,
but he wasn't a killer.
I've just got back from Madrid.
From a meeting with the top brass.
The official version is still that it was a jihadist attack.
What are you saying?
- We know that Gorostiza... - Shut up and listen, damn it!
They don't want the press to find out
a top-ranking intelligence agent was behind a feigned attack
that took the lives of eight people. They can't let it happen.
They don't want to allow it, it doesn't matter.
What the fuck are you telling me?
You're naive if you think they'll let everything come to light.
No.
No...
It really sucks, but that's how it is.
It doesn't depend on us.
But it does depend on us.
We can go to the press and tell the truth.
On what basis?
We have evidence, testimonies.
There's absolutely no evidence. Everything's been destroyed.
And the witnesses won't talk.
The Azkarate cut a deal with the Secretary of State
so that the truth would never come to light.
It'd be a scandal for the family.
We can't keep quiet.
If we talk, they'll silence us.
Me, you...
Jamal's mother, whoever.
They'll call us paranoid, with a bullshit conspiracy theory.
Edurne Aranguren will serve time
for collaborating with a terrorist organization.
They'll give her the shortest possible sentence.
Omar Jamal will serve 30 years.
They're innocent.
Prisons are full of innocent people.
Our commitment to the truth is worth nothing here.
We're screwed.
So, what now?
Case closed?
Case closed.
You're head of the Central Bureau of Investigation...
I'm no longer head of anything.
I've just stepped down.
8 MONTHS LATER
Hi, Koro.
Eche?
I didn't know if it was a boy or girl,
so I bought a white cuddly toy.
Blue and pink ones are out.
Besides, it's just for clothes, not for cuddly toys.
Babies are not my specialty.
I thought you hated dogs.
I can't stand them.
What happened?
You left me a message saying you had a confession.
That's why I'm here.
All the same, we should speak to your boss in his office.
Now the boss is my father.
I run his hardware store.
You're not ertzaina anymore?
What happened, Eche?
Did you find something out?
Why did you disappear?
I disappeared because...
Because I cut a deal.
But then, you know me.
My word is not worth shit, Koro.
The boarding passes? We're tight.
The plane leaves at 10:30 p.m.
Almudena, we have to go.
Did you kill Gorka?
Did you kill him?
Him and the other seven. Did you?
What are you saying?
A journalist came to see me.
He showed me a video of the moment Gorka was killed.
Everyone is scared... except for you.
He thinks you staged an attack to kill him and take everything he had...
and that included me.
That's nonsense, Almudena. Come on, let's go.
Gorka was supposed to travel to Tokyo that morning,
but he didn't because they were out of tickets in business class.
That's right.
You're lying! I saw the business class tickets.
And Teresa told me you asked her to cancel them.
You told me that they found the guy we buried,
the area was cordoned off.
I was there when we spoke half an hour ago and the body is still there. Another lie!
I'll ask you again...
Did you kill Gorka?
Did you kill him, Gaizka?
Did you?
Yes.
