Liar (2020): Season 1, Episode 3 - No sirve de nada - full transcript

NETFLIX PRESENTS

PREVIOUSLY...

- I think I told him to stop.
- You think that Xavier raped you?

Why did she
make up this whole lie? I don't get it.

It was all going great.

Laura, I apologize
if things went faster than you expected,

but you never told me you didn't want to.

Get out!

I can't believe you're defending her.
She's saying that my dad raped her.

Well, I believe it.

- Please, don't.
- I love you, Cata.



And I know that you love me.

I know how you did it.
You switched our glasses.

You think you were drugged?

We would need concrete evidence,

and all we have
at this time is your testimony.

I swear I found the evidence.
It's in there!

It's a legitimate source, I swear.

Xavier Vera? We have
a warrant for a premise-wide search.

And how did it go?

Found nothing.
It was a false tip-off.

You're not the first.
She's done this before.

I don't want you
to go through what I went through.

I think I told him to stop.

You think?



I didn't want to sleep with him.

- I didn't want to.
- Yes, but did you...

say that? Or push him? Anything?

I have your coffee. Want it?

No, thank you.

- Are you really going to be okay?
- Yes.

You know you can stay as long
as you want. This is your home too.

I know, Cata,
but I'm not just going to stay forever.

Yeah.

Mm.

- I love you.
- So much.

Thank you.

- Call me all the time, okay?
- Yes.

By the way,
I still haven't come across Mom's earring.

- Have you seen it?
- No.

Maybe the kids have it.
If I find it, I'll let you know.

Okay.

- See you.
- Goodbye.

Listen.

Call me, call me, call me, call me.

I will.

Thank you for coming. How are you?

Rafael Nieto. My lawyer.

Nice to meet you.

Please. Come in.

I was the high school principal,

and she was a literature teacher.

One of the best, actually.

And got along very well.

So, when I was accused,
I didn't understand it.

I didn't understand it at all.

My life was ruined.

My wife moved out.

I lost contact with my daughters.

I'm sorry.

I've been reading about you
and how professional you are.

My work means everything to me too.

That's why I called you.

So this can go away
like it went away for me.

Thank you.

After months of unbearable suffering...

you can't imagine what it was like.

Anyway, Laura
had to leave the school, and I...

I stayed

and regained the trust of my family.

Let's put her in her place.

It's best we have you
speak to the police then.

Of course. Yeah.

Some parents can be so annoying.

Are you telling me that...

that you think...

that Xavier raped you?

We have
witnesses from the restaurant

who said that you looked very comfortable.

I swear that I did. It's just...

I'm not sure. It's almost like
it happened to another person.

The problem is
there are no signs of physical violence,

and you didn't test positive for drugs.

How many glasses?

That man forced it,
even when I said no.

What more do you need?

I won it at a fair for Iván.

Sorry, but it's something I need to say.

You should.

I'll do it tomorrow, for sure.

That's a little drastic.

So, should I or shouldn't I?

You're both irresistible.

Look, I'm sorry,
but that thing's terrifying.

Hey! Don't pick on Monti.

- Monti?
- Yes, Monti.

What's wrong with that?

I won it at a fair for Iván.

Sorry, but there's
something I need to say.

You should.

It's no use.

Sorry, but there's
something I need to say.

You should.

That's a little drastic.

So, should I or shouldn't I?

Let's save Monti!

You change your mind quickly, don't you?

Sorry, but there's
something I need to say.

You should.

Look, I'm sorry,
but that thing's terrifying.

Hey! Don't pick on Monti.

- Monti?
- Yes, Monti.

- What's wrong with that?
- Nothing, It's fine.

I won it at a fair for Iván.

Let's save Monti!

You change your mind quickly, don't you?

Are you sure
nobody saw you taking them?

I'm sure.

Come on, take it.

Hold this.

Help me.

Okay.

We should go.

- Hey! Stop!
- Get him!

Hey!

Hey! What's going on?

Stop it!

Lucas!

Boys, enough!

I'm gonna call the principal! Stop it!

Enough! Cut it out!

Who wrote this?

I said, who wrote this?

This is all because of your post.

LUCAS VERA'S FATHER IS A RAPIST

I never would've imagined that it
would turn out like that with Laura.

I'm proud of my family.

My life has always been
peaceful and organized.

Before the trial was held,
Laura withdrew the charge against me.

Laura Munar withdrew the charge?

Yes, she said
it was too much with all the stress.

I should mention,
she was on antidepressants.

Her mother had died shortly before.

I guess she got overwhelmed by it all.

All the same, my name has been
slandered for something I didn't do.

Even now, people look at me differently.

Because people never forget.

Like the mothers whose kids
are at my school, you can imagine.

Very well. Thank you.
We have everything we need.

And interview terminated at 11:35 today.

I just... I just want justice
for what's been done.

Xavier Vera is innocent.

It's important that we don't let Laura
do the same thing to him as she did to me.

Thank you for coming in, Mr. Cuevas.

I'll see you out.

And you, listen here,

it's very important
that we don't pick any sides in this.

Lucas.

Iván?

It's gone.

- I looked everywhere, but it's gone.
- Just stay calm.

Trust me, you just
dropped it on the street or...

I was wearing it
the day I went to Xavier's.

Relax. We'll find it.

No! If Xavier finds it,
he'll know I was there!

But he won't find it. Stop.

Do you know why? Because it's not there.

I promise, it's not there at his house.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Mario texted me.

- Wait, Mario? Mario Cuevas?
- Mario Cuevas.

Well, he can text you. Who cares, right?
Just don't answer. Ignore it. Okay?

- Yes?
- Yes.

Thank you. Thank you for coming.

It's nothing. I'm always here, okay?

I know.

- I have to go back to class.
- Okay.

ROMANTIC GETAWAY IN ROME

- Hi, Sergio!
- Pedro.

- How are you?
- How are you doing?

- Fine, and you?
- I'm great. Thanks, man.

Anyway...

Um, I called because
I need to know when Cata's on-call.

I was going to see if I could
surprise Cata with a vacation.

Sounds nice, but you didn't need to call.
Cata isn't doing any on-call shifts.

What?

Well, the hospital established
an on-call order based on seniority,

so Cata's not...

- Are you sure?
- Yes, of course I'm sure.

Just stop it, Mario!
Why do you keep calling me?

You should know,
I went to the police.

What! What do you mean you went to...

But I withdrew the charge. You know that.

Even though they
told me not to, I still did.

So what is it, Mario?

I just want to keep you
from doing the same thing to this new guy.

And that means what, Mario?

You carried on like nothing happened,
that's what you're trying to prevent?

I was ruined, Laura. Because of you.

Even though you withdrew the charge,
you destroyed me.

Page 127.

- How are you? You okay?
- Yes. Good to see you.

No, I mean, I was...

I just spoke with Laura.

I told her I was in Mallorca, and that...

I wasn't going to let
the same thing happen to you.

She's practically begging
for my silence on this one.

Who's harassing who now? Hmm?

I really appreciate
what you're doing for me.

Shit, it's just...

I can read most folks.

You know? I...

I know when
they want a thing and when they don't.

I'm hardly ever wrong.

When she came into my office,
crying because her mother had died,

shit, I knew.

It was clear.

I knew that she'd
been trying to find an excuse

to be with me alone, you know?

So, I consoled her. What else?

We both hugged, and...

I remember that hug very well.

It wasn't the way you hug a friend.

Not at all. Not by a long shot.

Not by a long shot.

- What happened?
- You touched her?

I didn't... I didn't touch her.

Well, we touched. We both hugged.

You said she made it up.

Well, she did. She made up...
I mean she lied about...

She invented the magnitude
of the whole thing. She made up that part.

- I'm sorry, I'm leaving.
- What is it? What?

- What did I say?
- Our situations are very different.

Oh, look, I'm sorry,
but our situations are what they are.

Hey, I saved your ass.
You should be grateful.

Amal...

are you all right?

Yes. Yes, thank you. Don't worry about it.

Sweetheart, you're really pale.

No. I mean, really, don't worry about me.
I just had... a migraine.

- I better get to class.
- Stop, stop, stop.

Are you bleeding?

Amal, tell me, are you pregnant?

You're in pain.
We need to get you to a doctor.

Let's get you
to the emergency room. Lean on me.

No, but wait, please.
You can't tell my father.

- You don't know him.
- Don't worry. Deep breaths.

First, let's hear what the doctor says,
then we'll see about your dad.

Careful, careful. That's it.

Listen, Ricard. Listen to me.
I need you to do me a favor.

I need you to cover my class
I have now, and also my afternoon...

No, I have to take Amal to the hospital.

Yes. I'll tell you later. Bye.

All I'm saying to you
is that the case is solid.

We can't abandon it because
some unknown imbecile decides to testify.

What am I missing?

- The presumption of innocence.
- The presumption of innocence?

Don't give me that!

You expect people
to report things if this is what we do?

- Not always.
- Not always?

It is most of the time and you know it!

Daniela...

Stop.

I'm sorry. I...

- Forgive me, I know you're on my side.
- It's alright, detective.

- I have to get going. See you later.
- Okay, thank you for your time.

Come on.

Shit.

It's okay. We're here.

- No. Please, wait...
- It's okay, it's okay, we're almost there.

Excuse me. I'm sorry.
This is an emergency.

We need a doctor.

She's hurting and she's bleeding.
I think she had a miscarriage.

All right, you'll be okay.
Are you her mother?

- No, no.
- We'll need you to fill out a few forms.

- Yes.
- Give her the forms.

- We'll bring her back right now.
- Yes, thank you.

- Laura...
- Don't worry, okay, I'll get there soon.

This way.

Laura! Laura, Laura.

Get me Lucas.

Can you roll your sleeve up a little?

Is this what you took?

Taking this without
medical assistance is very dangerous.

Don't worry. You are in good hands now.

I'm going to do a scan
to confirm the pregnancy was terminated.

All right?

And we're gonna take a small
blood sample to see if you have anemia.

Hey.

You brave girl.

Don't worry. Don't worry.
Everything will be fine. Look at me.

Can you please call Lucas?
I need him here.

I called Lucas, and he's on his way.
But listen to me, Amal.

- We need to get a hold of your father.
- No, no! Please, don't Laura!

- Please, don't!
- Okay, okay. I won't call him for now.

Just Lucas. That's it.

Relax. Just breathe slowly.

All right, I need to do that scan.
Excuse me, ma'am.

I'll go get us some coffee.

Have you been able to check
on what I told you about?

Yes, but we still need evidence.

The lead on that case in Madrid
wasn't convinced.

I talked to him, Iván.

There's nothing to prove
that it wasn't suicide. Nothing.

And, besides,
the judge dismissed our case.

They're not continuing with it.

I'm really sorry, but it's over.

He just gets away with it,
that's what you mean.

I didn't become a cop for this bullshit.

Me neither.

All right.

Iván!

Don't do anything stupid, okay?

INCORRECT PASSWORD

Wait, stop.

- Why? What is it?
- Stop here. Right here.

Hang on. Hey.

Hold on.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Listen carefully, you son of a bitch.

No matter what some
fucking judge says, I know you did it.

- You can't talk to me like this.
- Actually, I can.

See, I know Laura wouldn't lie.

And I swear, I will be watching you.

Be careful.

Got that?

Be very careful, motherfucker!

Have a good day.

Iván...

does Laura know about you and Cata?

Don't ever threaten me again.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Laura!

- How is she?
- She's fine. Calm down. She's all right.

She'll be under observation
for a few hours,

but she'll be able
to go home soon. Don't worry.

My love.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

No. No, no, don't, Amal.

Don't apologize.

But... but why didn't you
tell me about it before?

I was worried.
I was worried you'd get angry.

- I didn't know how you'd react.
- But why would I get angry?

I don't know.

I'm asking you not to punish
Lucas for whatever you believe happened.

You never told me you didn't want to.

- Just get out of here!
- We really need to get this straight.

Get out!

- Forgive me.
- Get out!

What happened to you?

Nothing. Nothing.
I'm fine, Amal, really. It's nothing.

My dad is on his way.

Someone at the school called him.
He knows I'm here.

- He must be so pissed.
- Look, he'll understand, Amal.

It's important for your father
to be here and know you're all right.

He won't get it.

You don't know how he is.

You're 16, Amal.

They don't have to tell him
if you don't want them to.

He'll probably still ask,
and the doctors won't lie about it, right?

I need you to do it.

If you tell him that I just felt dizzy,
or I don't know, but...

It's the only hope I have with him.
Laura, please do it.

I can't lie to your father, Amal.

My dad will.

Amal, my dad.

He'll do it. I know he's on our side.

He'll protect us.

No, I mean it. I've got to
thank you for everything you've done.

Don't be an idiot about it.

Just being back
to yourself again is payment enough.

Ana, can we get a couple of beers?

- What's up, Luis?
- Hey, Rafa, how are you?

Want to join us for a drink?

Won't be able to today.
We actually need to be going.

That why
you haven't touched your beer yet?

- Leave it.
- We have to go.

The fucking nerve.

Don't worry about it, all right.

Lucas, tell me.

Run, run, run! He's winning, he's winning!

He won!

Who's this good looking guy?

Come here, buddy.

- How you doing?
- Good.

- Just good? What do you mean?
- Yes. Good.

How about now? Still just good?
What if I tickle you, huh? Huh?

- Hello!
- Can I get a kiss?

Aw. Sweet girl.

Why are you here?

Uh...

I need to talk to you.

- Iván, I have the kids.
- Yes, I know you have the kids, Cata.

Xavier knows about us.

He what?

- You spoke to Xavier?
- No.

- No. So what did you do, Iván?
- No. Yes. Uh, yes.

Nothing.
Well, I did something. I fucked up.

I saw him on the street.
And I was angry. And we started talking.

And he just told me.
I'm not sure how, but he knows, Cata.

He knows.

You know what happens
if he tells Laura about us?

- Don't you?
- Of course I know what happens.

Uncle, come play!

Your Uncle Iván has to get going now.

Listen...

I'm glad that you told me.

This is it.

Thank you very much for dinner
and for walking me home.

No. Thank you.

- You made my night.
- I'm glad.

- Good night.
- Good night.

I apologize
if there was any misunderstanding.

Or we can have some wine while we wait...

You told me to open
another bottle and also you kissed me.

Look, this one is great too.

You kissed me!

Shall we call the cab company back?
They were supposed to be here.

No, no, that's all right.
Do you have a charger I could use?

Of course. Why didn't you say?

It's Lucas. He's home alone.

So tidy.

No idea where I put it.

Don't you worry.

The taxi should get here
by the end of the year.

Maybe it's out front.

I apologize if things
went faster than you expected,

but you honestly
never told me you didn't want to.

Do you really think I raped you?

If I understand right...

you called me so that
I can lie to a patient's parent?

To not tell a father
that his daughter had a miscarriage

and almost bleed to death?

Now you're about ethics?

Now it's so important to tell the truth?

She's scared to death. She needs you.

I'm sorry.

They should have taken precautions.
They got themselves into this situation.

Look, we all may screw up.
We don't always get it right.

However, some mistakes are worse.
If we're calling it a mistake.

If you don't do it for Amal...

then at least do it for your son.

He loves Amal.

You expect me to help you
after everything you've been doing to me?

After trying to turn everybody against me?

I don't buy it, Xavier.

I know who you really are. I've seen you.

Under that mask of a perfect father,

an angel, a guardian, a professional,

but I know exactly what it hides.

This has nothing to do with me or you.
I'm just looking out for Amal.

A young girl.

The girl your son loves.

So, if there's any humanity left in there,
this is the time to show you have it.

I have nothing to prove.

The judge has dismissed the case.

Didn't you know?

I'm sorry.

And yes...

my son is what matters most to me.

And I want him to learn
to take responsibility for his actions,

not other people's.

Take care.

Hey.

Hi.

Why do you have my computer?

I was going to start
going through everything.

But I want to hear it from you.

You wanna hear...
Are you reading my emails?

I only want to ask you this once, Cata.

I'll believe what you say
because I love you and trust you.

Are you having an affair?

Come on, please. What?

No.

Why would you ask that?

And your on-call shifts?

I found out you used up
all your days off. Where were you?

Where were you, Cata?

I'm seeing a psychologist.

But why didn't you say anything?

I didn't want you to worry.

Shit. I don't know.

Cata, I mean, we always
talked things through, right?

I want us to be like we were before.
And for you to be okay.

Yeah.

I thought that I might try
to just figure this out on my own.

I should've just told you.

Forgive me, all right?

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

My daughter is here. What happened to her?

Her name is Amal Maalouf.

Dad.

Amal!

Mr. Maalouf, everything is fine.
It was just a scare, but nothing serious.

What happened?

We were on a break and Amal
got a little dizzy. But that was it.

Why didn't anyone call me earlier?

I'd like to talk
to the doctor who saw her.

Yes. Mr... Mr...

Mr. Maalouf.

Excuse me! I want to speak
to the doctor who examined her.

Mr. Maalouf, the doctor who was
attending to Amal left a while ago

but everything was all right.
You don't need to worry.

I'm sorry, miss, but I'd feel better
if I could talk to a professional.

Mr. Maalouf.

I'm Dr. Vera, I work at the hospital.

What happened? Is my daughter all right?

Yes, everything is fine. Don't worry.

The blood test shows an elevated
level of sodium from lack of hydration.

Amal suffered a little dehydration is all.

Nothing that can't be fixed
by a few glasses of water and some rest.

Thankfully, Laura,
her professor, reacted quickly.

Dehydration?
She eats well. She gets good rest.

It's nothing really serious.
Sometimes we forget hydration's important.

I'm sure Amal will remember in the future.

- Perfect. Amal is good to go.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

And thank you too, miss.

Excuse my manners.

- Yes?
- Laura.

Hi, this is Detective Daniela Bauzá.
Do you have a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Listen, the judge dismissed the case.

He needed more proof.

I'm really sorry.

Listen, Laura,
Xavier Vera is very dangerous.

Please, keep away from him

because I'm sure he'll do it again.

And I'm also sure
it wasn't the first time.

I wish I was mistaken,
but Xavier's profile is clear.

Anything more?

I want you to call me if anything happens,
no matter what time it is.

This is my personal number.

I will. Thank you.

Yes?

I would have liked to have known.

I found out today.

I don't just mean the miscarriage.

She's your girlfriend?

I'm sorry.

- I like when we tell each other things.
- Come on, Dad, don't.

You love her?

Just one.

I think so.

Hey!

Either I'm in bad shape,
or you're on fire, man.

- I'm feeling pretty good today.
- I'm glad to hear that, man.

You coming?

Yes. You go ahead. I have to make a call.

Okay.

Good morning, detective.

I suppose you're feeling relieved.

Shouldn't I be?

I just wanted to say that I hope you
don't find yourself in anything similar

because I will be watching you.

The judge has ruled.

This is over. I'm innocent.

You think you're innocent?

Okay, I give up. You win.

I have to go, they're waiting for me.

Detective, I get that
in a case like this you'd back Laura,

but I'm not what you think I am.

Have a nice day.

Lucas asked me. I couldn't refuse.

Yeah.

But now it's over.

No.

It's not.

You should have seen him today...

I couldn't believe it.

The tone of his voice.

The look on his face.

It's as if...

he really believes he's a noble man.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I understand that
the situation was complicated,

that you were doing what you had to,
but Laura, please, no more.

You have to listen to the detective.

Keep as far away from him as you can.

- Okay?
- Yes.

What's with that face?
You just kicked my ass.

I just don't enjoy
talking about this, Rafa.

Yeah, but we have to,

to put this whole crazy business
behind us as soon as possible.

I mean, it's strange.
I've never done that.

I wish it could
have been more respectful but...

not attacking each other.

Can I open this one?

I don't know. Can you?

Oh, I love this song.

I love it too.

Defamation lawsuits
are tedious processes,

and they don't always end well.

I imagine.

That's why you are my lawyer.
I'll be paying you like any other client.

It's my reputation
and my future that are at stake here.

I want to do it for me,

but especially for Lucas,
he's suffered a lot.

You do get that?

Absolutely.

Remember, I earn my living
from clearing people's names.
