Liar (2020): Season 1, Episode 4 - ¿A cuántas más? - full transcript

NETFLIX PRESENTS

PREVIOUSLY...

She's saying that my dad raped her.

- Now it's so important to tell the truth?
- My son is what matters most to me.

Some idiot believes this,
I can live with that.

But if you do, I can't.

Hey.

- Xavier knows about us.
- He what?

I mean, I fucked up.

Amal, are you all right?

Are you bleeding?



You are in charge of Laura Munar's case?

It's about the death
of Xavier Vera's wife.

So what is it, Mario?

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

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

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

The judge has ruled.
This is over. I'm innocent.

You think you're innocent?

It's gone!

- I looked everywhere, it's gone.
- Stay calm.

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

I promise, it's not there.

I know that Laura wouldn't lie
and I swear I'll be watching you.

Can I help you, miss?



Uh, yes.

I need to file a complaint with someone.

You can have a seat right over there.

- Someone will be with you.
- Oh. Thank you.

You're welcome.

You'll be here a while.

They take their time.

I've been here for an hour, still nothing.

I'm Fran.

Fran.

Theft. My double bass.

We were loading the van after a gig and...

- a man took it from me.
- Can you believe that?

And you?

Sorry, but I'm not
in the mood for small talk.

I'm sorry.

I...

I didn't mean to bother you.

And I hope
whatever you're here for gets settled.

Do you like jazz?

You could even come see me play this week.

Could be fun. I'll buy you a drink.

I'm sorry, but did I give you a sign
that you're interpreting as me wanting

to have a drink or a date
or anything else with you?

I'm sorry.

Sir, come with me, please.

Iván.

Yes, yes, yes, I'm fine. Don't worry.

Hey, the mother of Xavier's wife
lives in Madrid, yeah?

I don't have time to explain.
Can you get me her address?

It's important.

Thanks.

Thanks.

- Hello. Laura?
- Hello, Teresa.

- Come in.
- Thank you.

Please, come in.

I'm happy to meet my daughter's friends.

- Anything to drink?
- No. No, thank you. I'm fine.

I was making some centerpieces.

These are purple calla lilies.

They can be white and sometimes yellow
but these are more original.

My daughter used to love them.

I still buy them,
like when she'd come visit.

- She was beautiful.
- She really was.

That's a photo of her in college.

And to the right is when
she opened that clothing store with Elena.

You know Elena, right?

Teresa, I'm not a friend of María's.

I never met her.

But I know Xavier, your son-in-law.

I don't follow.

Who are you? What do you want?

I don't know
how to begin to tell you this all.

Well, just tell the truth, it's easy.

Weeks ago,
Xavier took me out, we had dinner.

We went back to my place.

And?

He raped me.

Right now,
it's just his word against mine.

I don't have proof.
No way to prove anything.

What are you doing here?

Teresa, I know Xavier
and your daughter had problems.

I know the police investigated.

The police asked many questions,
searched everywhere,

even insinuated some things,

but found nothing
because there was nothing to find.

So why did you report Xavier?

Please. Look...

That was a different time.

This is ridiculous.

All married couples argue.
There's no point opening old wounds.

My daughter was depressed.
She was depressed!

She fought it
as best she could. Understand?

She didn't want to live.
That's what killed her.

- I don't have anything else to say to you.
- Teresa, please. Hold on.

- Please. Please.
- No.

It's evident that you know things.
That you know things about Xavier.

So why protect him?

I know he was a good husband. Hmm?

He was devastated when my daughter passed.

And, above all,
I know he's a wonderful father.

Please go.

I'm very sorry.

Lucas! You're late!

There you are.

Isn't this a bit over the top?

Your call.
Just think about what she did to you.

- This is shitty coffee.
- Lucas is the expert.

Lucas!

I don't feel well.
I'm staying home.

What happened?

This have something to do with Laura?

No, Dad. It doesn't.
It's because I'm sick.

Forget Laura
and all the bullshit she says.

- You should know I don't care about that.
- Mmm. Perfect.

But ditching class isn't the solution.

Neither you nor your father
have any reason to feel ashamed.

- And that's why Uncle Rafa is here.
- Hey.

Before you know it,
everything will be like it was before.

Come on, go get changed.

Hey.

Please, make some coffee first.
Your father's nearly killed me.

All right. I'll call you
and we'll talk it over, okay?

See you later.

What's going on?

An hour talking to the higher-ups.
Are you going to tell me what's happening?

I put in for a transfer, Silva.

To move to training?

Come on, Daniela.

Don't make this more difficult, please.

Is this because
the judge dismissed the case?

Yes, it's another case on top of many.

Because every day it's a new Xavier Vera,

and regardless of what we do,
he'll get release and be free,

and do what he likes.

Without you and me, it'd be worse.

- What you need is a break.
- No.

That wouldn't make this any easier.

I'm done with this, Víctor.

Just promise me that
you might at least think about it.

All right, all right,
party's over. Guys, take your seats.

But we have Literature now.

I'm very sorry you're upset,
but Laura won't be able to be here.

She's probably writing
more lies just to get attention.

Excuse me, what was that?

So how about you
tell her that when she's here.

Can we start the class now?

Thanks.

- Hello.
- Hello.

You're Elena, right?

Yes, I'm Elena.

Now, I just need some form of evidence...

a testimony,
something that can help us with the case.

Anything.

Elena...

I know their marriage
wasn't going very well.

They were fighting constantly.

Even María's own mother reported Xavier.

María had depression. That's all.

The police investigated.

And they found nothing.

Depression took her.

She gave up.

Maybe she didn't want to be a hassle.

She hated being that.

I wish she was here.

I wish...

we could have prevented it, but...

there's just no point opening old wounds.

Elena, I mean, that's what Teresa said.

And?

Nothing.

But it's a little odd.

Just one last thing.

In case you do what to talk to me about...

anything.

I'm sorry.

Cata.

She won't answer.
She hasn't answered all day either.

- Give her some space. Don't overwhelm her.
- I get it. I know!

But I'm worried. I can't help it. Okay?

Will you come sit down.

I'm sorry.

For?

I'm sorry I didn't notice
how bad you were feeling

or that you were struggling.

- No. You don't have to do that.
- Wait.

Listen, it wasn't easy for me either.

Being a stay-at-home dad
was my decision, I love raising the kids,

but I gave up a lot to do it.

My work,

hanging out with friends,
having adult conversations,

going out.

Look, I'm sorry too.

Do you think
that psychologist you're seeing could...

help us with couple's therapy?

What?

What is this?

But you hate talking
about feelings with strangers.

Yes, I hate it, doesn't matter.

Whatever it takes to support you.

You're already do, though.

Yes?

Yes.

Okay. Wait.

Go back, please, sir.

It was...

a few days before María killed herself.

I slept with Xavier.

He came to my house, we drank wine...

he was in my bed when I got up.

I know that I wasn't drunk.

It was like it was happening
to another person.

You were drugged.

But he wouldn't stop saying how
it was the biggest mistake of his life,

and that it was my fault.

I believed him.

When I read your post...

I thought about it for the first time.

You already knew who I was
when I came to see you?

Yes.

María found out...

and some days later...

she committed suicide.

Elena,

you didn't do this. Okay?

That burden isn't yours to carry alone.

Come with me.

When are you leaving?

I was going to leave today.
But let's go back tomorrow together.

- Yes.
- Yes?

Yes.

Elena, we can do it.
We can finally put a stop to all this.

You're in room 603.

Enjoy your stay with us.

Thank you.

Um, is there a restaurant or maybe a bar?

Yes. It's over there.

Oh. Thank you.

CATA - MISSED CALL

- Hello.
- Hey, beautiful, how are you?

Fine. Just here, getting a belly.

Look.

Look at that!

Aw, I wish I was there.

Are you drinking those juices?

Yes. Look.

Today, I had apples and red beets.

You know, they're really gross.

But, well, I'm sure he's loving it.

Hmm. Or she.

Right. Or she.

You gonna tell me what's going on?

I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

How about you...

...tell me the truth now?

Nothing.

Just my shitty job.

I forgot why I wanted to be a cop.

I think it was actually
because you might care about others.

Wasn't that it?

Yes, that was it.

Oli, I don't want to have a girl.

That's horrible to say, isn't it?

No. No, it isn't.

Did you talk
to Human Resources about a transfer?

Mm.

I hope this doesn't haunt me.

Everything will be all right. I promise.

And before you know it,
I'll be home with you.

Olivia, are you ready? Let's go!

Oh, shit. I better get going.

- I'm fine. I'll see you soon.
- I'll call you tomorrow.

- Yes.
- Drink your juices.

You're such a pain, Oli.

Well...

big kiss.

I love you.

- Love you too.
- Get some rest.

- Bye.
- Bye.

God.

You can go in.

Hey.

Not right now, man, don't wanna hear it.

- Three days and still no response?
- Mmm.

Are we celebrating?

Well, man,
we're celebrating my nightmare life.

Want a beer?

Or I have these little cookies. Hmm?

No, thank you.

What?

I was suspended without salary.

- For the search.
- Effective immediately.

We celebrating or not?

It was the only way
this was going to go, Iván.

Mm. Probably getting worse.

Don't say that. Leave things alone, man.

Don't fuck it up more.

More?

Just let it go.

And forget Cata.
She was wrong to get you involved.

- You know it.
- Jaume, don't be like that.

Please, just leave it be, God damn it.

Fuck!

If she loves you so much,
she should talk to her husband, for real.

Or leave you alone.

- Come in.
- Hello.

Xavier, I didn't know you were coming in.

Excuse me. I should have told you,
but I needed to come all the same.

How's it going?
I know I've made your work difficult.

- I'm sorry.
- No, please, we made it work.

Not a problem.

I want to be back in the OR.

Uh, you sure you're ready?

Mm-hmm.

I really just needed
a couple of days to clear my mind.

You know, the allegation really shook me.

A situation I had no control over.

I don't like that.

- But that's it. It's over now.
- Have they closed the case?

Mm-hmm.

Justice has been served.

And what's not fair
is that I stay stuck at home

when my work
is the most important thing to me.

Well, if you're sure...

come in tomorrow then.

Thank you.

- I'll see you then. Fantastic.
- See you tomorrow.

Cata.

Laura! Where are you?

I'm in Madrid. Don't worry.
I'm coming back today.

Uh, what do you mean "Madrid"?
You knew I'd be worried about you.

Laura, you need to answer the phone.

Yeah, I'm sorry but
I'll tell you when I see you.

I have good news.

What do you mean "good news"?
What is this about?

I'll tell you tonight, okay?

Don't be worried.

Big kiss.

I love you.

Yes. Just be safe. I love you.

What are you doing here?

I know Sergio isn't here
and the kids are over at the pool, so...

You're wasted.

A bit.

A bit, but don't worry.
I needed to speak to you and...

To speak about what, Iván?

What do you think?

- No, please don't. You need to go.
- No.

- I know you're not serious.
- Yes.

- No. You miss me.
- No.

I know you miss me.

Don't! Why are you like this?

Iván, I'm not leaving my family.
I never said I'd do that.

Okay? I don't want to.

But, wait. I mean, wait.
I mean, you couldn't...

You said you just
needed a couple more days.

- That you just needed time.
- Well, my mind has changed.

I'm sorry, okay.

I don't want to. No...

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, Iván.

- How are you doing?
- Fine.

I'm doing fucking great.

And the kids?

There was a problem with the pH levels.

So they're with Paula.

You good?

Iván...

Is this about Laura?

Why don't you talk about it with Cata?

- Can you drive?
- Yes.

Don't worry.

- Sure I can't drive you?
- No.

I'm fucking amazing.

Hello. Ready?

What happened?

Look, I'm sorry
for what happened to you, but...

I just can't help you.

What?

Elena, less than 24 hours ago
you were willing to help me.

What... What happened to you?

I want you to know
that by reading your post

I was finally able to know
that it wasn't because of me.

Obviously. If I hadn't made that post
you wouldn't know you were raped.

But still, you won't do anything?

- I want to get on with my life.
- Hold on, Elena, please.

Have you talked to Teresa?

Don't bother Teresa.

She's suffered enough.
She lost her daughter.

- Teresa...
- I'm not gonna let her lose her grandson.

Teresa's just afraid.

Because believing that
her son-in-law is perfect

is easier than accepting she did
absolutely nothing to help her daughter.

And while she goes on ignoring the facts

and you insist on just living your life,

the man who raped us goes free, okay?

I'm meeting the guys for a beer.
Do you want to come?

No way. I'm tired.
I'll probably fall asleep at the bar.

Perfect. It'll be like
going out with my wife. You're coming.

No.

- And aren't you forgetting something?
- What's that?

Ah, that's nonsense, Daniela.

Natalia would order
two glasses of wine every night

when she was pregnant with Ana.
Everything ended up fine.

Well, except for
that third arm that Ana has.

I get why your wife
falls asleep when you go out.

Ah. See?
Aren't you going to miss my bad jokes?

Look, Víctor,
I've thought about it and it's decided.

I'm sorry.

You're letting the guy win then.

It's not because of Xavier Vera.

Well, not him alone.

I just need to come home
to my wife and my kid and feel proud.

- I'm done with this.
- Some days aren't that bad.

Yes. When nothing happens here.

So, training it is.

Yeah, I'll be in training.

- It'll be a perfect fit, I bet.
- "You bet"? That's all?

No.

I'll do everything I can
to change your mind.

But today calls for a drink.

With all of us.

Hey, no.

Week ten.

Right now,
your baby is the size of an olive.

Ah!

You crazy or what?

You've gotta be kidding.

Are you okay?

Was I that annoying at the station before

that you might want to kill me?

I'm fine, I'm fine.
Forget it. Never been better.

But where were you going? You just...

I didn't see you.

Well, I play at the end of this street.

I tried to tell you,
but don't worry about it 'cause...

I mean, I won't try
and invite you to my gig.

Seems like I actually owe you a coffee.

You got time?

Have you ever had it where
you think your life is on a path and...

it moves and goes onto another...

and nothing is clear at all?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'm worried it won't be,
that it will never be like it was.

Well...

You're right. It'll never be like it was.

No.

Maybe you just need
to learn to be who you are now.

And this is all coming
from a guy you don't know at all.

So I don't know if this is helpful.

You'll be late for your gig.

Yeah.

I suppose you're not coming.

Oh.

I think I'm hopeless.

Goodbye.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Bye.

Coming.

One moment.

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

We shouldn't be talking about it, okay?

You are trying to sue me? How dare you!

Are you serious?

What you did was defamation.

Some of my friends
believed what you wrote,

and Lucas' classmates don't speak to him.

What were you thinking?

You might be acquitted,
but I'm not keeping quiet.

The letter is pretty clear.
Just make a public apology.

I know what happened to your wife.

Dad?

She found out what you did to Elena
and she couldn't stand it.

That's what made her do it.

- Dad, what the fuck is she talking about?
- Go to your room right now.

Go to your room now!

And you, get lost or I'll call the police.

You keep doing this, Laura.
Listen. Look at me.

Promise me you'll
stay away from him. This has to stop.

We can hire a lawyer for you.
To get back at him for this.

- A lawyer better than his?
- There must be one.

And what's the use?
Tell me, what's the use, really?

- Well, we have to do something, Cata.
- Yes!

We all need to just back off a minute.

Lucas.

Lucas.

Have you considered
switching school districts?

That would be like admitting I made it up

and leaving because I lied about it, Cata.

I just want you
to move on from this, Laura.

How?

Taking some time off
isn't a bad idea, you might like it.

Where are you going?

I want to be alone.
