Hierro (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript

Nico! Nico!

It's okay! It's okay!

Okay... Okay...

It's okay...

Ágata... Tell them what
your mom put you through.

Okay?

Yeah. But don't go over
the top. Be natural.

Yeah...

Dácil? You stop the nonsense.

It's not nonsense.

Don't worry. It'll be fine.



They have to prove
the girls are at risk.

And they've got nothing.

Maybe, but I don't
like this judge.

If I lose, will I lose custody?

- They're not investigating that.
- Answer the question.

We're not going to lose...

Águeda... He's had a bad night.
If he wants to sleep, let him.

If you need anything,
let us know.

Yes, dear. Don't worry.
You two get going.

I'm sorry this has come
at a bad time with Nico.

What can you do?

If your cousin really
wants you there...

Don't worry.

You'll have to tell your lawyer.



I can't prove it.

And I'm scared that...

Scared of what? Gaspar?

Lucía... If you don't
tell him, I will.

No! Man! You keep out of it!

You don't know what
he's capable of.

Hello, Sergeant.

- I'll head on in, okay?
- Okay.

- Hello... Do you have a minute?
- Yes. Of course.

My colleague called
from Tenerife.

It's about the boy who killed
Reyes, Samir and the other guy.

- Yes. Daniel Iglesias.
- Yes.

- We're still investigating...
- There's no need, your Honor.

- Why's that?
- He's dead.

You what?

It looks like suicide.
It's all in here.

Your Honor... What's
going to happen?

How are the girls doing?

Candela, it's the best
you could've hoped for.

Close the inquiry and move on.

He should've been tried.

Poor parents...

- Your Honor...
- Yes?

They're here.

Will you question them
here or in the courtroom?

They're only children.
We should do it here.

Very well.

We're ready. We're
going to start with her.

Come with me, Dácil.

Let's have a chat
with the judge.

How are you doing, Dácil?

I'm not going to decide

depending on what
you tell me today,

so there's no need
to be nervous, okay?

Your parents have an agreement
that says you and your sister

have to return to
Madrid with your father.

I don't want to go to Madrid.

Why's that?

I want to stay here with Mommy.

And what about your dad?

Why not?

He wants to take me to Miami.

Has he told you that?

He told me not to say
anything. Or else...

Or what?

He'd get angry.

What happens when
your dad gets angry?

Does he get angry a lot?

Does it even matter what I say?

I just want to
know what you think

about your parents and
your life with them...

What do you think
about your mother,

for example?

I don't think anything.

She's my mom.

Yeah...

Do you think she loves
you, takes care of you...?

My mom?

She's not very good at
looking after anyone.

- What about your father?
- What? Does he love me?

Ask him yourself.

Ágata... What do you want?

I just want all this to
be over. I miss Madrid.

It's so much better than here.

Dácil told us your dad
wants to take you to Miami.

Dácil's away with the
fairies sometimes.

- So, your dad's never said that?
- No.

Why do you think Dácil
might have said that?

Do you think it's
better for Dácil

to live with your
mother or father?

She'd rather be with her.
She's obsessed with her.

You're older... What
do you think is better?

I think she's making a mistake.

But we're all allowed
to make mistakes.

I prefer not to.

Dácil was only little.
She doesn't remember.

What doesn't she remember?

When my mother was on drugs.

COURTS

One minute, Roberto.
Just a few reminders...

We're here for the
well-being of the children.

They're the ones
that matter here.

The problems you
have between you

are absolutely irrelevant.

We're here for your daughters.

And it won't do them any good
if you make a scene around them,

or if you don't even try
to listen to each other.

Understood?

Yes.

Let's keep them from harm.

Roberto... Ready when you are.

Emergency hearing

under Article 158,
number 4, 2020.

The claimant is Ms.
Lucía Dueñas Martínez

alongside her legal
representative.

The defendant is
Mr. Gaspar Cabrera Linares

alongside his legal
representative.

The parties are joined
by the public prosecutor

in defense of the two
minors, Ágata and Dácil.

If I may...

We would like to raise
a preliminary question.

You may.

Considering the fact

that the minors
frequent your home,

and that the mother's
cousin is in your employ,

we would appreciate it

if you would
voluntarily abstain.

- Do you know El Hierro?
- Your Honor...

If I had to step
down from every case

in which I knew the
people involved,

I would never preside
over a single trial.

And that would be the case
for any other judge here.

I am sorry to insist,
your Honor, but...

Counselor, I have
listened to you.

I reject your request.

Does the claimant
uphold her request?

Yes, your Honor.

We wish to uphold our request

for emergency measures in
accordance with Article 158.

The minors are at risk of
being abducted by Mr. Cabrera.

By taking the children to Miami,

the mother won't have any
relationship with her daughters.

This poses a risk of
psychological trauma,

especially in the case of Dácil.

We have not been able to
provide a psychological report.

We will submit one during
the custodial review.

If you don't have
one, don't mention it.

In any case, your Honor,

the greatest evidence of
the risk posed to Dácil

is the situation we
have just witnessed.

The girl escaped to avoid
being with her father.

That is still under
investigation.

It may be a case
of child abduction,

as reported by the father;

Or it may be inducement
to abandonment;

Or, as you say, the
child may have escaped.

I am very much interested
in clarifying the matter.

But it is not the
matter at hand.

Yes.

Have you finished?

That's all, your Honor.

We wish to request the
submission of evidence.

Thank you. And the prosecution?

We uphold the defense

without prejudice to
the result of the test.

We see no risk
that might justify

the requested measures.

Thank you very much.

I'd like to call on the legal
representative of Mr. Cabrera.

Try to be concise.

We wish to oppose the
request made by Ms. Lucía.

As I listen to my colleague,

I wonder whether he
studied Law or Literature,

because his side of
events is pure fiction.

Mr. Cabrera relocated all
his business interests

to Spain,

and so he does not intend
to return to Miami.

You speak of psychological
risks posed to the minors.

Ágata has repeatedly expressed

her desire to continue
living with her father.

At the age of 16, she is less
impressionable than her sister,

who has been brainwashed
by her mother.

- That's a lie.
- Please...

Apologies, your Honor.

Ms. Lucía and her brother

have been reported
for child abduction.

I have no doubt
they are responsible

for Dácil's disappearance.

I won't say it again, counselor:

Dácil's disappearance is
not the matter at hand.

They brought it up.

That's right.

And I have dismissed
their claims.

Please, continue...

Mr. Cabrera doesn't have
a precarious profession

that might put the support
of his daughters at risk;

He has never been arrested
for disorderly conduct;

And he has never
required rehabilitation

for the consumption of drugs.

Does your knee hurt?

Only when I touch it.

You could've died... I don't
know what got into you.

If they hadn't found me,

Dad might have got fed
up and left without me.

Come here.

- Any news?
- Nope.

Now what?

It's not about you, Díaz.
I've come to speak to Pilar.

What about?

That's for her to find
out. Where is she?

Hey, Braulio...
How are you doing?

What's up, Pilar?

What a nice surprise.

I wanted to stop by
myself, because...

Well... the news will probably
come out sooner or later,

and it would be better
if you heard it from me.

What news?

Daniel has been found
dead in his cell.

It looks like suicide.

Okay... Thank you.

With your permission,

I will now start
with the questions.

What does your work consist
of exactly, Mr. Cabrera?

I'm a businessman.

Could you be more specific?

I mainly work in
the hotel industry.

I have an interesting
project in the pipeline.

I'm looking to build
a hotel in Tacorón,

a banana plantation
at the moment.

I like to do things for
my island, my people.

I get the picture.

How would you describe

your relationship with
your daughter Dácil?

It's a good one,

as long as her
mother's not around.

Have you ever threatened

that you'll take the
children to Miami?

- Never.
- Fucking liar!

Pull yourself together.

Why do you think the complainant
fears they are at risk with you?

Look, your Honor...

My ex-wife was in no fit
state to raise her daughters

due to her cocaine addiction,

as you can see from
the documents provided.

I don't know whether
she's still using,

but I do know she's
out of control,

all over the place

and an absolute
shambles as a mother.

Why does she say what she says?

I couldn't tell you,

nor could anyone else.

Have you ever told Dácil
you'll take her to Miami?

Look...

Dácil is a very
imaginative girl.

I have just re-enrolled them

at a very expensive
school in Madrid.

I've also signed them up

to extra-curricular
activities...

Ágata: Volleyball,
swimming, German.

Dácil: Judo, music,
horse riding.

She likes animals.

Your Honor... The girls and I
have so many ties in Madrid.

Why would I take them to Miami?

Fuck!

- Calm down.
- I'm fine.

- No, you're not...
- I'm fine, Dad.

Give over. Come
here. Sit next to me.

Come here. Let's see...

What's the matter?

Everything, Dad.

Daniel and his fucking temper,

which got the better
of him in the end.

Me; I'm a fucking idiot.

You and your problems.

And the plantation
is a fucking mess...

Forget about Daniel! Move on!

Says you...

You never let anything go!
Not even after 30 years!

Have you been on my computer?

I'm sorry.

Someone wants you dead and
you don't tell me anything.

I don't know anything
myself, Pilar.

You have so many secrets

it's impossible not to
stumble across them.

If I'm going to work with you,
stop treating me like a child.

I want you to tell me

what you're hiding
in the office.

Okay...

The thing in the office is a gun

to protect myself
against I don't know who.

I thought it was Samir's
people, but it wasn't.

I've asked Gumersindo
to keep an eye on you

in case anyone decides
to come after you.

I just want to keep
you safe, Pilar.

And what I don't tell you
is also to keep you safe.

Okay?

Okay.

Come here.

- Thank you, Mr. Gaspar.
- Thank you.

Your turn, Sir.

- Sir?
- Apologies, your Honor.

If you don't have any questions,
we'll turn to the prosecution.

Of course we have questions.

Of course we have questions.

Mr. Cabrera...

Yes?

Is it true that you were
charged with extortion in Miami?

You what?

What the fuck are you on about?

Watch your language, please.

My apologies.

What are you on about?

Does Dade County
Court ring any bells?

Dade County?

That was an unfounded claim
that didn't make it to court.

Because you reached an
agreement beforehand.

No. All I did was clear
up a misunderstanding.

All you did? Were
you acting alone?

Me and my lawyers. Yeah.

It had nothing to do with
your former associate...

Fausto Villajuán?

Who is Fausto Villajuán

and what does he
have to do with this?

He is very well known in
Miami. Currently behind bars.

- Convicted of murder.
- How fucking dare you, bitch!

- You're a gangster!
- Silence!

Silence!

- You shut your face!
- Please!

Silence! Please, Mr. Gaspar...

What are you getting at, sir?

We wish to prove the minors
will be at risk with Mr. Cabrera

because of his ties to people

and his undesirable
business relations.

Your Honor, this is...

This is completely relevant.

Why you didn't bring this
up right at the start?

I didn't know...

Mr. Cabrera...

Have you ever been convicted
by the authorities in the US?

No.

Have you ever been
arrested, tried or summoned?

Never.

In Spain, have you ever been
investigated for a crime?

No.

Thank you. No more
questions, your Honor.

You may take a seat.

When did the girl start saying

she didn't want
to live with him?

Ever since she arrived.

The closer she
got to going back,

the worse it became.

And what did you do?

I calmed her down.

Dácil can be very sensitive;
She's like me in that sense.

She's like me in every sense.

And what about Ágata?

Ágata is different.

She's more independent.

She's always been
Daddy's favorite.

Why do you say
they'll be at risk

if they live with him?

Because I was married
to him for 14 years.

And because...

Because I saw him deal
with really bad people.

What can you possibly
have seen on coke all day?

Silence!

I won't put up with
any more of that!

Don't make any accusations
you can't back up. Understood?

Any questions, counselor?

Yes. If I may, your Honor...

How are you doing?

Do you mean... now?

Right now. How are you doing?

A little nervous.

No. No... I mean how are
you doing in general?

With your drug problems.

I'm fine. I haven't used in
over 18 months. I'm clean.

Really? Congratulations.

Do you have any
documents to prove it?

No. But I could
do a blood test...

Whatever. I'm clean.

It's okay. Don't worry.
What is your income?

It depends.

Do you not have a fixed income?

Not fixed, no.

It depends on how
much work I'm given.

It comes to around 800 euros
when I add my benefits.

You don't work every month...

But I don't pay rent. The
house was passed down.

I paid for the renovation work.

Mr. Cabrera. It's not your turn!

I paid for it.

One more question.

Just two years ago,
you had no problem

with your ex-husband having
custody of the children.

I was in a very bad place.

Because of him.

Don't tell me he forced
you to take cocaine...

He didn't, but...

It doesn't matter.

You didn't think your ex-husband
posed a risk to the children,

even though you'd been
living with him for years.

I was in a very bad
place two years ago.

So, why do you think that now?

What's happened?

Has Mr. Cabrera
become a bad man?

Because I see my daughters.

And I know they're
better off with me now.

They'll be better
off with me now.

You can't come in here,
Candela. I'm sorry.

- Was it pneumonia?
- So it seems.

We need to stabilize him
and move him to Tenerife.

The next few hours
will be critical,

there's no time to lose.

- Hello?
- Gaspar Cabrera?

Who's asking?

My name is Javier Betancor.
I'm Fadi Najjar's lawyer.

I don't know whether
you know my client.

Go on...

We've heard you want to build
a holiday resort in El Hierro.

Sorry.

You've caught me just
before an important meeting.

We've also heard you've
got a few problems

with the landowner.

I don't know what
you're on about.

Of course you do.

We have all the information.

It might be better

to have this
conversation in person.

Are you threatening me?

No.

I'm offering you a solution.

We know Díaz.

We know how to handle him.

And we like your
plans for the resort.

I don't need a business
partner. Thank you.

And now he lifts the man...

The African contestant prevails.

Let's see the repetition.
He did an amazing job.

What a joke...

And?

He's not going to
make things easy.

- Just keep at it.
- There are other options...

Oh really?

Anything to get that bitch
of a judge off our case?

It's just next door
in El Hierro: Díaz.

It's perfect!

I'd forget about Díaz.

Just keep at it. Okay?

Find out how much they
want for this guy.

I want him in the team.

GIRLS' FATHER ACCUSED OF BEING
INVOLVED IN ORGANIZED CRIME

Have you seen?

You're going to see
some unpleasant things.

Journalists are always
looking for nasty things.

Yeah...

And if they can't find
anything, they make stuff up.

It's all lies.

If you want to know
anything, just ask me. Okay?

So... What are we doing today?

Fuck, it's Julio.

Hey! What's up, Julio?

Good. We're pulling out.

You what?

Your face is all over the
news. We can't work with you.

No. Julio, please. Listen.

It's all been made
up by my ex-wife.

She's a coke addict.

She has no idea.

I'm sorry. Our decision stands.

Julio?

Julio?

Do you want to go to the hills?

Then...

We're not going anywhere
today. We're staying here.

Are you okay, Dad?

You have no idea how much
damage your sister has done.

Gaspar, what's wrong?
Are they pulling out?

Yeah...

And you!

- Gaspar... Please.
- Shut it!

We'll talk later.

He doesn't need to be intubated.
His breathing is fine.

Thank goodness!

He's responded
well to treatment.

This time.

Half an hour later

and the situation would've
been more complicated.

- I know. But it's all gone well.
- Yeah.

He's going to have to wear
the breathing mask more.

Okay.

I need you to
understand that your son

is entering a new phase.

Do you think I don't
understand that?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so glad, Candela.

Don't worry about anything here.

I've asked them to
send in a deputy.

There's no need, Ángela.

They're checking who's
free. So, don't you worry.

We're on our way home now.

Isn't it better
to take your time?

After all you've been
through, why the rush...?

My boy's better off at
home than in hospital.

And since I'll be
there, I'd rather work.

Should I tell them
not to send anyone?

That's right, Ángela. Thank you.

Okay... Bye.

It's good news that
she's still on the case.

She's a single mother...

Things couldn't be
going better for us.

It's just a shame

you didn't tell me

about your ex-husband's
business earlier.

- It's good, right?
- Yes. It's a strong argument.

You see? I told you.

Is there anything
else I should know?

Tell him.

Jesus... But I can't prove it.

What can't you prove?

I can't prove anything!

Lucía... I need to know.

Well...

Lucía, what is it?

Gaspar and his
partner, Fausto...

They had this guy who
took care of things

if their business
didn't go to plan.

If anyone owed them money,

they hired him to beat people up

and make threats,

or even kill them if need be.

How come you're
telling me this now!

Because I'm scared of him!

And I can't prove anything.

My word against his
is not enough, is it?

Of course.

One, two, three...

One, two, three...

These are mine.

Scumbags...

Leave it. They're not going
to change their minds.

Should I call Fadi
Najjar's lawyer?

They do know Díaz.

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Nico, wait a minute.

One second.

What are you doing here?

I've just found
out what's happened

and I've brought
you some bananas.

If there's anything you need...

I know what it's like to
worry about your child

and to have someone to talk to.

I appreciate that, but...

It's just a few bananas.

If it were a bribe, it
would be quite shitty.

You're right. Well... Thank you.

Enjoy...

Thank you.

Díaz! Come in if you like.

Hey, little man.

He was diagnosed
with cerebral palsy

and a degenerative
disease at birth.

The doctors told me

he wouldn't live to see
his eighth birthday.

It was such a blow at the time,

but now he's given me
four more birthdays

and I'm sure there
are more to come.

Good.

Good.

No. Don't open a new one for me.

Give over. I'll let
it breathe a bit.

You've discovered the
best parts of the island.

Can I give you some advice?

Find yourself a
friend, your Honor.

Cheers. To friends...

Wherever the
bastards are hiding.

Can I give you some advice?

Now I'm scared.

I don't want to talk about
work. I'm not even allowed to...

But...

You shouldn't be
covering for Fadi Najjar.

I'm not.

Yes, you are.

You are, Díaz.

You think you're
saving your own skin.

But you're wrong.

Do you think Fadi
ordered Daniel's death?

What do you think?

I try not to judge.

Is it true you want to
sell the plantation?

Come on...

No way.

I can't believe you enjoy
living in this shithole.

I have everything I need.
Help yourself to my beer.

Have you found out
who's after you?

Is that why you're here?

It's not something to
discuss over the phone.

Do you know who it is?

Maybe... maybe not.

But I do know someone who's
hired a hit man before.

Are you going to tell me?

Gaspar Cabrera.

The resort guy?

Seriously?

Who's told you? His ex-wife?

Your Honor! When will
the hearing resume?

Could you give us
more information?

What's going to happen?

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

You're back.

It looks like it.

Any news?

Nothing special, unfortunately.

Just this.

- What's that?
- Daniel's death certificate.

I'll officially dismiss
the proceedings.

Good... We start in an hour.

Great.

DEATH CERTIFICATE

Thank you, Roberto.

I hereby request secondment
to a different court

than my current posting on
the island of El Hierro.

I would like to be
close to a hospital

due to the delicate
state of my son's health

where he will get highly
specialized medical care

that is not available
on this island.

Do you consider
yourself a good mother?

I love my daughters.

More than anything in the world.

"More than anything in
the world?" That's a lot.

Not for a mother.

So, you consider
yourself a good mother?

Yes.

Does a good mother
protect her children?

Yes.

Does she look after them?

Does she stop them
getting into harm's way?

If she can help it, of course.

In that case, I
don't understand.

What don't you understand?

The fact that she considers
herself a good mother.

Have you ever left
your children alone?

I don't think so.
I can't remember.

July, 2015. South Beach, Miami.

Dácil had fallen ill, my
client was on his travels,

and Ágata, who was only 11,
couldn't find you anywhere.

Do you remember? She ended
up calling the police.

Lucía, answer.

Yes. I remember.

What was the reason
for your absence?

Was an emergency?

I was sick.

"Sick?" Are you referring
to your cocaine addiction?

- If I had found out...
- Be quiet!

It's not your turn!

- This woman's a liability!
- Gaspar!

- She almost killed my daughter!
- Don't talk over me!

I said don't talk over me!

Don't undermine me.

Girls! We're going now.

COURTS

- What's happened?
- Please... Tell us something.

ILLICIT ACTIVITIES BY MR. GASPAR

RISK OF ABDUCTION

PASS THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION

SIGNED BY

SENTENCE

Gaspar...

Hello?

Bernardo? What's wrong?

You what?

No! No.

No. No.

Díaz...

Hello, Marisa. What's up?

Good.

The ashes are all sorted. My
father's happy. Thank you.

I'm glad.

Is that the only
reason you're calling?

I wanted to ask you
about your brother.

Do any of these
names ring a bell?

Gaspar Cabrera?
Fausto Villajuán?

Nope... I don't know
anything about him.

Did he have any
contacts in the US?

My brother? US? Give over.

Yeah...

Okay... Thanks, Marisa.

- If you hear anything...
- Hang on.

What?

See...

You couldn't believe a
word Ventura ever said.

He once told my
father something.

My father told me
about it the other day.

What did he tell you?

He was going to be working

for some important
people in Miami.

You can't go in
like that. Lucía!

- Lucía, please!
- That's the judge's office!

You're taking away my children
and giving them to him?

My apologies, your Honor.

He's a monster!

- Should I call security?
- No. It's fine.

How could you? You're a mother.

The custodial review
is still pending.

That's the important one.

He's going to take them away!

I'm never going to
see them ever again!

Lucía...

My apologies, your Honor.

- Cabrera!
- Díaz...

You son of a bitch!

What the fuck's your problem?!

Don't touch me.

Did you think I
wouldn't find out?

You'll get yourself hurt. Relax.

It wouldn't have come to
this if you were reasonable.

- I'll see you round.
- Yeah...

We can leave now.

So... Have you been with Lucía?

Díaz knows everything.

He can't prove anything.

And we're going now.

- We're not going until tomorrow.
- Why?

There are no flights or
boats on this fucking island.

You've cost me a whole
week, your Honor.

The case is going
to be reviewed.

- And my daughter's abduction.
- We'll see about that.

Dácil, how are you doing?

Say hello to Ágata for me.

Mommy! Mommy!

- What are you doing here?
- What's with you?

What?

Look at me. Everything's
going to be fine, you hear?

That's it. You've done it now.

You screwed me over before.
But now it's my turn.

- Don't touch her.
- Listen...

Don't touch her.

Dad!

- Dad, please.
- Mom!

Mom, please... Just leave it.

You can say goodbye
tomorrow at the airport.

I don't want to go, Mom!

That's it! You've
fucking done it now!

Come on!

Don't you lay a hand on her!

- Stop it!
- Please, don't!

Take your hands off
him! Stop it, please!

What's up? How's it been?

Candela...

Not now.

I won't talk about
my decision with you.

I was going to say he
hasn't needed the machine.

Fantastic! I'm glad
someone has had a good day.

Keep an eye on the children. I
don't know when I'll be back.

Of course. Don't you worry.

Don't you think it's incredible?
This place is wonderful.

I'm in a bit of a rush.

You've changed your mind...

You have to be able
to adapt. Right?

Bad day?

It'd be great if
we saw eye to eye.

We will.

Especially now you're
willing to have us on board.

As long as you
take care of Díaz.

He knows it was me.

Was that him?

I told your lawyer I
accept your conditions.

That's great. It's a
pity they've changed.

What do you mean "changed?"

The conditions. You have
to be able to adapt.

We want to be
majority shareholders.

- Are you for real?
- Absolutely.

Think about it...

If you're here, you
must've been stood up.

And I can do without you.

I don't know who the
fuck you think you are,

but you shouldn't
play games with me.

- Okay...
- Get off me!

You're not going to solve
anything like that, Gaspar.

Calm down.

Please...

Please.

Calm down. Calm down.

Lucía!

Lucía!
