Parot (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Protestas - full transcript

Isabel!

Can I help you?

You...

You raped my mother.

You're a monster.

I don't know who you are.

But you seem
to have it in for me.

Come on in.

Take a seat.

No.

It's very brave
of you to come here.



-I'm not scared of you.
-You have no reason to be.

How could you do that to my mom?

All those girls...

-You're a monster.
-Yes.

You said that already.

All I can say is...

I was ill.

And not a day goes by,
not a single day,

that I don't regret what I did.

My mom...
My mom's name is Isabel.

I bet you don't even remember.
She was just one more to you.

Isabel?

No.

Thank you for coming.



I was never able
to apologize for what I did.

That was all
I thought about in jail.

Saying sorry.

There's...
something you don't know.

What's that?

No, nothing.

I have to go.

I have to go.
-I need to get home.
-Hold on.

-I need to get home.
-Hold on.

Let me get you a glass of water
before you go.

You look thirsty.

No, I'm fine.

Can't I even get you some water?

Well, I am a bit thirsty.

Don't go anywhere.

Do you want mouth-to-mouth?

I don't know how you can
joke around after this.

I thought I was going to die.
That my time would end...

at the bottom of the lake...

That I'd be food for the salmon.

There are no salmon here.

It's a manner of speaking.

And how exactly
did you end up in there?

For someone who didn't want
to drown, you had a good go.

What exactly are you implying?

That I did it on purpose?

You'd have reason to.

I didn't.

I don't know what happened.
I was dizzy.

I was seeing double.

And I drove off the road.

Okay, then.

Well, now you have no choice

but to let me give you
a ride home.

No.

-Are you going to hitchhike?
-No.

My daughter
can't see me like this.

If she does,
I'll lose any standing I have

If she does,
I'll lose any standing I have
and that's not much.

and that's not much.

So?

Sorry for the wait.

I thought you might like a soda.

There we none in the fridge,
so...

Well, it's a big house.

You shouldn't have bothered,
water would've been fine.

It's cold.

You're my father.

What was that?

Impossible. How old are you?

Sixteen.

You raped her 16 years ago.

You look younger.

I never thought my dad
would be someone like you.

You should go.

This isn't what...

Thanks for telling me.

I imagine your mom, Isabel...
that's her name, right?

-She doesn't know you're here.
-No.

She said my dad was
someone else,

I found out on my own.

Go home.

Too many emotions today
for such a young girl.

Juan. Heroin addict.

He held up a bank
where Pedro's son worked

as a security guard,

and shot him three times.

What do these two people
have in common?

When one person
assaults another,

they become
emotionally connected.

The more serious the assault,

the more intense the connection.

The more hate or vengeance,

the stronger the tie
that binds them.

There is only one way to break
this emotional bond

between victim and perpetrator.

Remorse,

apology,

and amends.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me. Excuse me, please.

What if there's no remorse?

I mean...

What if the person
who commits the crime

shows no sign of remorse?

shows no sign of remorse?
Then there's very little
we professionals can do.

Then there's very little
we professionals can do.

Sorry, please,
just one more question.

As an expert psychiatrist,

are parents responsible
for the actions of our children?

Well,
that's a very broad question.

Why do you ask?
Is it for a study?

Why do you ask?
Is it for a study?
No, I'm not a professional.

No, I'm not a professional.

It's just a doubt I've had
for a very long time.

There's no easy answer.
Genetics are significant,

but so is our childhood...

but so is our childhood...
Please, I just need
a yes or no answer.

Please, I just need
a yes or no answer.

Are we parents guilty for acts
committed by our children?

Is this your house?

My mom brought me here
to get over what happened.

I haven't been back since.

It's not exactly the best,
I don't know whose it is.

-But it's clean.
-Alright.

-It'll do.
-And towels. Here.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Sit, if you like...

Or don't. Just do whatever...

I'm going to change.

It looks alright.

The good news...

is that I can still fit into
the clothes I had when I was 16.

Right, I'll whip us up a soup.

What?

There's no food here.
You won't find anything.

-There must be something.
-Okay.

What?

I totally trust canned food.
It's my main food group.

It must be expired.

2025.

It doesn't take much
to make me happy.

Just wait
till we find a can opener.

We have a little girl.

-There's no coffee.
-I know.

Were you expecting apple pie
for dessert?

You know canned food
can give you stomach problems?

You know canned food
can give you stomach problems?
I live alone. Having someone
to cook for would be nice.

I live alone. Having someone
to cook for would be nice.

A bad stomach is about all
I don't have.

Weird things
keep happening to me.

I can't explain it but...

it's weird.

I did make the DoI presentation.

I did.
Then suddenly it was gone.

-Maybe it didn't save properly.
-No.

I saved it, it wasn't deleted.
It was there.

Suddenly nothing's
where it's meant to be.

I take a couple of Valerian
and drive off the road.

Ockham's razor.

Nieto...

Nieto...
The simplest solution
is the most likely.

The simplest solution
is the most likely.

You're under too much pressure.
You're spiraling.

It's a miracle I got you
out of that lake alive.

You have to quit the case.

No.

Let's go, it's getting late.

Various ex-cons are protesting
to demand protection

Various ex-cons are protesting
to demand protection
in light of the crimes
against former cell-mates.

in light of the crimes
against former cell-mates.

Piece of shit!

You can't protect us!

-Out of the damn car!
-We want protection!

I'm losing it,
I want this to be over already.

I'm losing it,
I want this to be over already.
That isn't up to you.

That isn't up to you.

Don't worry
about things you can't control.

Don't you get it?

Do you know what fear is?
I'm scared.

Nobody knows you're here.
The room is in my name.

How would they find you?
Have some faith!

-You have to sleep.
-Sleep?

-You have to sleep.
-Sleep?
-Yes.
-Sleep.

-Yes.
-Sleep.

That's enough. Roberto, stop!

-Please, stop. Calm down!
-What?

-What?
-Relax. Calm down.

Relax, please.

That's it.

Lie down.

Lie on the bed.

Come on, lie down.

Don't worry.

This will help you sleep.

Not this one.

Look, the happy couple.

The floor was covered in brains.

I didn't know all that
could fit inside a skull.

I replayed it in my head
all night.

I never know how long to wait.

Take it out,
I've been keeping track.

What do I do with this?

I'll throw it out.

Thank you, honey.

So, what we know so far
is that you went

to take out the trash

and witnessed the murder.
Is that right?

The garbage truck
hadn't passed yet,

that's for sure,

because I see it
from my balcony.

They always leave the bins
scattered all over the place.

I know they're in a rush but...

Yes. The time doesn't matter.
I mean, it's not important.

I need any details that may
help me identify the assailant.

The assailant is
the killer, right?

Yes, that's right.

He was wearing a monkey mask.

Yes, we know that.

Anything else? Like...
His clothes, his neck, hands...

His back.

His back.

You wish, buddy.

Look, a bad guy.

Move over, gorgeous.

Any traces of DNA?

-Plenty of traces.
-Let's see the report.

Don't waste your time
on the forensics.

-Why's that?
-Be specific.

Impossible. It's full of crap
from all across town.

We'll keep it as a memento.
I'll go file it.

I'm going to take a look.

Hi.

-Sorry to bother you.
-Hello, again.

I saw you sitting here... May I?

-Sure, go ahead.
-Thanks.

Truth is, I've so many questions
I don't know where to start.

Tell me your story.

Just as you tell it
to yourself in your mind.

Right.

Look, I...
became a father by surprise.

I was here on business,
opening an office

for an important company
from my hometown.

The mother wasn't even
my girlfriend but...

she got pregnant.

We got on well.

Sorry.

-Do you mind?
-No.

Thanks.

So... the kid wasn't planned,

but he was very loved,
always, from the start.

We were so excited.

And the early years
were the best of our lives.

But...

as he grew,

we knew something wasn't right.

He had no empathy,

He had no empathy,
he was manipulative
with his mother, with me...

he was manipulative
with his mother, with me...

He was cruel to everyone,
his friends, the help...

Later, as time passed,
he did awful things.

He caused so much pain.

My wife couldn't handle
the stress, she fell ill.

She died thinking
it was her fault,

that she'd been a bad mother.

Where did we go wrong?

Why couldn't we fix him?

In these cases,
parents are the first victims.

But...

diagnosing something so complex
requires an in-depth assessment.

Tell me.

What are
these awful things he did?

I need specifics.

You haven't even told me
your name.

No.

No. I'd rather not reveal that.

I'm a psychiatrist.
There's patient confidentiality.

Sure, but I'd rather not.

Very well. I'm sorry.

But I have to go.

You... you can score down there.

I have a proposition for you.

I'm no gigolo.

No, it's nothing like that.

Get in.

I told you to get in.

Six thousand nine-hundred.

Right.

-Your car is still in the lake.
-And my ID card.

Driver's license,
my credit cards...

I was too busy fighting
for my life

to remember to grab my purse.

Someone has just graffitied
your car.

-What?
-Right across the front.

In luminous spray,
it reads "protection".

-Did you see who it was?
-No.

I wish.

This is some steak,
it's bigger than the plate.

I haven't eaten meat in...

I believe it's the only food
a man should consume.

It's noble, honest.

Tendons, muscles... blood.

That's one way of looking at it.

I'd forgotten the flavor.

Last week, I bought
a pack of mortadella.

I was jumping for joy.

Four slices of pure bliss.

I had two in the morning,
another two at night...

There is always bread
in the trash in Spain.

What's up?
Do I have food on my face?

You have strong features.

I'd never noticed.

Looking in the mirror
when you live like this,

well... it's best avoided.

I prefer to remember
how I used to be.

Family?

-I had.
-It's for the best.

Family is a burden.

I had a wife.

And dreams.

I came here
to set up a business.

All my savings into one idea.

My wife said...

it'd never take off
and then the crisis hit in 2008.

She took off immediately
with another guy.

I don't blame her.

I don't blame her.
I think she's living in a
detached house in Alpedrete.

I think she's living in a
detached house in Alpedrete.

So, you're on your own.

Completely.

I could die tomorrow
and nobody would miss me.

Believe it or not,
that's a good thing.

Can I ask you a question?

What does one feel...

when they're this rich?
Like, crazy rich.

Power.

Do you want dessert?

If it's not asking too much...

I'll have room, that's for sure.

So...
What do you have planned for me?

Any job you need done,
I'm your man.

Glad to hear it.

They key is adding
to your resume,

so you can start over.

You can always start over.

Right?

Yes?

Okay. I'm on my way.

-You okay?
-It was my kid's school.

I'll be right back.

-Hello.
-Hi. Thanks for coming.

-Thanks for calling.
-I'll leave you so you can talk.

-Thanks for calling.
-I'll leave you so you can talk.
Great.

Great.

What happened?

Isn't it obvious?

No, it's not.

Why did you do it?
This isn't you.

My job is to interrogate,
so you'd better start talking

and get this over with.

Sol.

They were talking about you.

You got in a fight over me?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry you're having...

to go through all this
because of me, really.

I want to go live
with Grandma for a while.

What?

-I'm going to live with Grandma.
-No.

Look, Sol, I know I haven't...

been the best mom.

I made mistakes,
I wasn't what you deserve...

Maybe I haven't been the mom

you would have wanted, but I...

We've always been together.

You're the best thing
in my life.

Sol, look at me.

Please.

-I want to live with Grandma.
-Okay.

This is like Paradise.

If this were mine,
I'd never leave.

I'm glad to hear it.

-You'll be here a lot.
-As long as you need.

So... about the contract,
what were you thinking?

I'd like it all
to be above board,

I need to start paying
my social security.

But if you weren't thinking
along those lines...

Whoa!

A tennis court.

If you like, I can help you
clean it up a bit.

That won't be necessary.

So, what will be
my job here exactly?

-We're nearly there.
-Excuse my eagerness.

When you live outside
of the general population

-and have a chance to...
-Society is harsh...

You don't know
how thankful I am.

Down-to-earth people like you
just don't exist anymore.

You live in a mansion, I live
in a windowless cardboard box,

and even so...

Turn around,
you'll see a lemon tree.

A lemon tree? No. Where...?

Isabel.

-Am I alright?
-Yes.

Isabel, excuse me.

A quick question, Isabel.
Just one.

You must have something to say.

-Just give us something.
-No, don't close it.

Just a moment.
Hang on, just one question.

I do want to say something.

About the lack of integrity

and shameless actions

and shameless actions
of certain so-called
journalistic professionals,

of certain so-called
journalistic professionals,

who couldn't care less
about the consequences

or suffering caused
by their actions.

And claiming as justification,

the right to information,

they're capable of stooping
to the lowest of the low,

-because they're vultures.
-Is this aimed at me?

-because they're vultures.
-Is this aimed at me?
What kind of journalism
rips families apart?

What kind of journalism
rips families apart?

Destroys people.

So, you don't believe
in freedom of the press?

-No.
-Do you want censoring?

-No.
-Who decides what's relevant?

This is from a representative
of the Police Force.

PROTECTION

What's going on there?
What the hell is Isabel doing?

Wait here.

If you let me speak,
all I'm asking for is respect

and a right to privacy.

We're talking
about a murderer.

Shouldn't privacy come second
when people are dying?

I'd remind you
the Constitution...

What's the Constitution
got to do with the fact

that you reported
I'd been raped as a minor?

What does it...

Why didn't you tell me
about your daughter?

Because you were the patient,
not me.

-What's it got to do with that?
-Thank you.

That's enough for today, thanks.

If we find anything,
you'll be the first to know.

That's the worst thing
you could do.

Nailed it.

What a moment.

-Where are you going?
-To demand protection.

It's my duty, don't you think?

No.

I don't have to do
everything you ask.

Someone who is unstable
needs a guide.

Is that right?

You think I'm just some loser
who's worthless on his own.

No, it's not that.

I don't want you to get hurt.

But I will.

Do what I tell you
and you'll be fine.

Help me!

Can anyone hear me?
Get me out of here, please!

Your life will finally
have meaning.

-Let me help.
-I've got it.

I'll go get the rest.

Don't worry,
it's only temporary.

She's taking
her snorkeling gear.

She won't even look at me.

And you won't look at me...

It's a good thing
there are only three of us.

It must be hereditary.

Everyone needs a breather,
and space sometime.

I'm the only one who
wants to see you both.

I could say no, I'm her mom.

I can tell you from experience
that doesn't work.

I want to know
her comings and goings,

-what she eats and doesn't.
-What about you?

-Who updates me on you?
-I can look after myself.

You be careful. Your friend
lives in a rough area.

-What friend?
-The one from the hostel.

-Don't worry about me.
-What if you get robbed or hurt.

You can leave the fish.
I think I can keep him alive.

I doubt it, Mom.
You always forget to feed him.

In you get.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Shame, they're leaving
you alone, Isabel.

What a circus.

They're in there
on hunger strike.

And they won't come out
until you find the killer.

Or until nature takes
its course.

I don't want another two deaths
on my conscience.

JUSTICE
WE WANT PROTECTION

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

-This will do for a while.
-Yeah.

Hey, how long can a person
last without food?

Some, up to 73 days.

I need a new wardrobe.
Something less perky.

This report is so important,
Javi.

-You get it, right?
-Then, are we with

-these guys or the others.
-With whoever we need.

Alright, I'm going home.
Call me with anything.

Whatever time it is.

You coming for dinner?

Me, you and your wife?

Threesomes aren't my thing.

I thought you were modern.

Javi, call my husband,
tell him I got caught up here.

Right.

Alright, rest up.

I'm all done.

Shall we head to your place
and unwind?

I don't think so.

Right.

Okay, then.

Next time you call,
I might be busy.

I'll take the risk.

Goodnight.

Sol.

That's the reaction you want
when visiting someone.

-I thought you were my daughter.
-What, is she out past curfew?

No. She's gone to
live with my mother.

So, what is it?

I've arranged
for your car to be rescued.

You didn't have to.

I didn't have to.

-But I did.
-Thanks.

Didn't they think it was odd,

a police officer's car
in a lake?

a police officer's car
in a lake?
-They didn't ask?
-It's all settled.

-They didn't ask?
-It's all settled.

Okay.

Right. That was all.

Bye.

Want some soup?

-Soup?
-Yes.

I was going to open a can and...

I don't want
to throw out the rest.

Well... that seems like

-a good enough reason.
-Let me open it.

They're the same.

Minestrone, I don't know if
it's any good, it might be crap.

I hope you won't shoot me
this time.

No.

You can't be happy.

You can't be happy.

You can't be happy!
