IT WASN'T MY FAULT

No, we've been over
this many times.



Mexico City, 1990.

What? No, no, no. No, no, no.

Gloria, don't make this harder.

Here.

Whenever I can, I'll
send you some money.

Whenever you can?

Look, it's over. We're not a
couple. We're not anything.

We have a son though.

[sighs]

I can't deal with him
anymore. I'm sorry.

Don't worry.

We're going to be
all right, okay?

Don't touch me.

Ten years later.

It's going to be okay, Adán.

[woman] Come in, please.

Just you.

Uh, yes.

I'll be back.

- Good afternoon, Mrs. Parra.
- Afternoon.

Please, come in.

It's good you were finally
able to come in, Mrs. Parra.

I was waiting for you.

Well, I can't just get up and leave
work, just like that, unfortunately.

I mean, I... I know that
my son is complicated,

but that's why I bring him here.

I think maybe you don't
know how to guide him.

Gloria, this is not the first time that
Adán has had problems with authority

and was disrespectful
to his teachers.

He's a teenager.

You guys here should know how
to handle the kids at that age.

With teenagers, you have
to reason with them,

because nowadays they won't
listen to just anyone.

Adán...

He is intelligent.

You need to earn his respect.

Yes. Look, we're not questioning
or disputing Adán's intelligence.

It's his discipline, lack
of respect for others.

What about their
respect for my son?

Thank God it wasn't any worse. Did
you see the cut he had on his head?

What do you do about that?

The parents of other kids
involved were called in as well,

and those kids will
be disciplined.

But the problem here is Adán.

He doesn't respect authority.
He doesn't socialize.

His classmates are afraid
of him. [voice echoes]

In all the years that he's been
here, he hasn't made a single friend.

But you already knew that.

What... What my son needs
is a different school.

Where are you? I've been
waiting for you for a while

I got detention at school...

So what now?

I can't go... don't be mad.

You should have told me.

You want chocolate?

[phone chirps]

Why so alone?

[screams, muffled grunting]

[muffled] Let me go!

[engine idling]

[shuts off engine,
sets parking brake]

[breath trembling]

[siren wailing in distance]

Just let me see her. I've
been waiting all day.

Mrs. Peña Martínez, this is the last
authorization slip you need to sign

in order to see your daughter.

Here you go.

[monitor beeping]

[sobs]

[sobbing]

It's okay. I'm here, my love.

[kisses]

[sobbing]

[shushes]

It's a miracle my
daughter is alive.

They ran all the
tests at the hospital.

Here's the report from the
public prosecutor's office

with all the
photographs and tests

that show the brutality
of the attack.

I am so sorry about
what happened.

Now, ma'am, you
need to understand

that there are certain protocols we
need to follow within the institution.

[sighs]

I'm going to ask a female colleague
to take your daughter's statement,

if you agree.

I'm sure that Rosaura will
feel more comfortable with her.

That be all right?

Yes.

Ruiz!

Uh, this woman and her daughter
have come here to report a rape.

And attempted murder.

That's right. Here is
all of the evidence.

Okay, young lady. You're
in very good hands.

Thank you.

This way, please.

FABIÁN SANTOS AGENT

I need to write a detailed account
of the events that occurred.

What do you want to
tell us, Rosaura?

I can't imagine what
you've been through.

And I am so sorry
it happened to you.

But if you want him to
pay for what he did,

you have to help me.

Have you ever seen him before?

Tell me how it happened.

I was in the park

waiting for Migue, my boyfriend.

And he wouldn't
stop watching me.

[sniffles] And since Migue
didn't show up, I left.

You're doing great,
Rosaura. Go on.

He grabbed me after that.

Threw me into his van.

Do you remember
what color it was?

White.

The model?

Any special details that
you recall about the van?

It had writing.

And roses.

Like a sign or a logo?

Do you mean like a delivery van?

You're not alone in this.

The state provides psychological

as well as legal resources
for rape victims.

They'll do whatever they can to help you,
but there are always a lot of people.

You'll need to be patient.

What about the next girl? She
might not be as lucky as me.

Come on, sweetheart.

[kisses]

I just want you to know that
I'm... that I'm here for you.

If you wanted to talk to
me about what happened...

I don't want to talk about it.

I can't.

Thank you for coming.

Yes, of course.
Don't mention it.

Anything that has to do with my
daughter is very important to me.

The thing is we're
worried about her.

We are all wondering if the
trauma she experienced recently

is actually being handled right.

It's not only her
schoolwork that's affected.

We can tell that she's not okay.

Honestly, I'm so sorry,

but I think what happened
impacted not only Rosaura,

but you as well.

Let me warn you,

this journey will be one
that's extremely complicated.

You need to get
professional help,

for both of you.

I don't get it.

Okay, listen, Rosi,
if you don't pass...

No, I don't understand
any of this. I'm failing.

[sniffles, sighs]

I'm tired of it.

Okay, look, I know that these
days... They've been difficult...

I said I don't want
to talk about that.

Yeah. I'm sorry, you're right.

[crying]

[crying continues]

[chattering]

[boy] Hey, over here!

Hey, I'm open! Here!

Over here!

[older boy] I got it. I got it.

Come on. One girl
can't stop them all.

You gotta be in
the right position.

Look. Look, here.

[screams]

[door closes]

[Adán] I'm hungry.

[Gloria] Do you want me to
make you something to eat?

[Adán] You don't
have anything ready?

Worthless old lady.

I mean, I just got
home from work.

Your boss at work called.

He was saying that

you've been coming
in late for days,

that you aren't delivering
the flower orders.

That you barely
show up at the shop.

What have you been doing, Adán?

You're going to make
them fire you again.

That job isn't worth shit.

What is this?

What is this?

Don't you have anything better to
do than to snoop around my stuff?

- I want to know.
- [pounds table]

[shudders]

[footsteps approach]

[girl] Emily!

[mother] Sweetheart,

things can't go on like this.

We have to get some help.

Look.

This is close to
where he dumped me.

BODY FOUND OF... AND RAPE

[mother] What have you found
out about my daughter's rapist?

This kind of
investigation takes time.

But I imagine you've
made some progress.

You had to have found something.

We have a few leads we are
looking into, but nothing solid.

Tell her.

My daughter thinks it
might be the same man.

I can't believe that he's roaming free
and you're not doing anything about it.

A lot of times,

victims end up thinking that all
cases are connected to each other.

It's a result of the
traumatic experience.

Rosaura, how are you?

Are you sleeping okay?

When you're outside, does it
feel like you're being stalked?

Anything like that?

[sighs]

Listen, we are both terrified
that he might attack her.

Of course she feels like
she's being stalked.

Have you seen the psychologist?

Appointments are
too hard to get.

And once you're there,
they're always late.

We need to find that man.

My daughter is right, that there are
other girls who could be in danger.

Listen, I promise you that we are
working as hard as possible on this.

[Santos] How are
you doing, Rosaura?

It's... It's a difficult case,

and it could take many years.

You're never going to find him.

Right?

[voice shaking] It's
the truth, right?

May I talk?

I know someone who... Well,
she works with victims.

She's a good friend, and
I believe she can help.

Look her up, please.

It would be good if you got
involved with activities here again.

We miss you at the
women's sessions.

Yeah, I know. And I
want to. I need it.

But the situation with
my son is complicated.

He still blames me
because his father left,

and I can't convince
him to come or get help.

Don't stop trying, Tere. It's
important. All of this is a journey.

You already took the first step
by separating from your husband,

but there's still work to do.

You're not alone.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

- Ms. Mariana?
- Just down that hallway.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I'll walk you out.

You behaved so well, Camila.

Okay. Thanks again for
everything, Mariana.

Yes, of course.

- I'm here if you need anything, okay?
- Thanks.

- Come on, honey.
- Be good!

Yes.

Sorry. Are you Ms. Mariana?

Yes.

Agent Santos told my
daughter to come see you.

I thought that it would
get better with time,

but I feel like I've
been losing her.

What she went through
was traumatic,

and not just because of
the rape and torture.

He tried to kill her.

She wouldn't come.

She doesn't trust the authorities,
and I don't blame her.

I hardly recognize her.

I don't know how to
help my daughter.

She's seeing a psychologist?

She won't go anymore. Nothing
motivates her, really.

And you? How do you feel?

Violence and the aftermath
doesn't just affect the victim.

The ones close to them as well.

I feel like I didn't
protect her enough.

It wasn't your fault.

But I'm her mother.

It's my job to
protect her always.

Listen, we aren't God.

But as women, we can
support each other.

I just want my daughter
to smile again.

If you'd seen how she
was compared to now...

She's always in a bad mood.

She goes out without telling
me where she's going.

She dresses very provocatively,

like she enjoys showing
herself off to men.

What are you in the mood for?

[man] I want to see all of you.

- And what else?
- Take it all off.

[mother] It's like she really tries
to provoke them then confronts them.

You're disgusting!
How could you?

Get away from me!
Get out! Get out!

What are you doing to my daughter?
I'm going to call the police!

What? I didn't force her!
She told me to come over!

What is wrong with you?
For God's sake! Shut up!

[breathing heavily]

[sobbing]

Sweetheart.

This has to stop,
sweetheart. Please.

They gave me alcohol.

I wanted to... to
feel like I'm older.

To impress my older cousin.

But they took advantage of me.

I wasn't asking for
it. It wasn't my fault.

But it's not easy.

First, there's the guilt,
and then comes the shame.

You don't want to
look in the mirror

because you don't
like what you see.

It took long for me
to like myself again.

After that comes the rage

and the desire for revenge.

I'm obsessed with the idea that my
cousins pay for everything they did.

I want them to ask
for my forgiveness.

I want... I want them to
feel sorry for what they did,

and to admit it.

But justice isn't exactly
always how we want it.

The hardest part was
that my father...

My father decided not to stand
with us when we filed the report.

But luckily, I have my mom.

Now it's the two of us.

I don't want my life to be defined
by what my cousins did to me.

I know that I am much
stronger than they are.

The characteristics of the victims
and the brutality of the attacks

looks like the attack
on Rosaura Peña.

That's why we called her in again:
To give a more detailed statement.

Ruiz, we need to focus on the facial
composite we got from Rosaura.

[Santos] This is the
jerk we're looking for.

It's very likely that he
spends time in public spaces,

studying his victims
before he attacks them.

They're all between
15 and 18 years old.

All wearing school uniforms,

and all of them are missing
between four and five fingernails.

Hey, do you know where
this address is? [chuckles]

Yeah, it's real close.

[Santos] He makes sure that
the young women are alone.

He must try over and over.

I've looked for it for a while
now, but I can't find it.

If I'm late for work,
I'm going to get fired.

[Santos] Women today
are not as trusting.

But he knows that at some
point, he'll be successful.

Several witnesses from the
area where we found the bodies

say that they saw a white van,

a delivery van with some
lettering, perhaps a logo.

[Gloria] Yes, yes, Gabriel, I... I
understand that you need the van.

But the thing is, my son has
just got a lot on his plate.

Actually, last night, I...
I wasn't feeling well,

and he drove me to the clinic.

No, no, thank God,
I'm feeling better.

But I'll make sure that he
returns it today, all right?

Yes, I'm very sorry.

[line disconnects]

[sighs]

[clattering]

[keys jingling]

[gasps]

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm glad you came.

[Rosaura] Hey, I wanted to
tell you that you are stronger.

Thanks.

I like your necklace.

Thanks. My mom gave it to me

right before...

Before everything that happened.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

Me too.

[Eric] You have no idea how
happy I am that you called.

I thought you
hated me, honestly.

I don't hate you.

And I don't blame you.

I called you because I have
something very important to tell you.

I want you to know there are gonna
be things in the news regarding Lili.

And I wanted you to
hear them from me.

Okay. What things?

[sighs] The authorities
insist the case is closed,

'cause it had to do with
drug dealers, that's it.

But, Eric, they can't
stop investigating.

Lili had a daughter.

[sighs]

What are we celebrating?

You finally decided to
cook something decent?

Sit down.

Mole de olla.

You know that little chick you
had in school? The baby one?

[chuckles]

You were always hurting it.

Tormented it.

Tearing out its feathers.

I told you that it ran away.

But, no, Adán.

I gave it away.

I tried to take care of you.

That was all I ever wanted.

So what? Huh?

What brought all this on?

You. You were never
like the other kids.

Of course not. I was
always the weird one.

The cleaning lady's son.

Why didn't you leave
me in public school?

I wanted the best for you.

Well, it didn't work out.

[sniffles]

What have you done, Adán?

What have you done?

[siren wailing in distance]

No!

[grunts]

- Mom!
- [gasps]

[siren wailing]

[pounding on door]

[officer] Open up! Police!

Open up!

Open up! We know
you're in there!

- Hi.
- Hi.

Glad you're here.

Well, I'm glad you called me.
