Contratiempo Page #4

---

I was not in Paris.

I was with a woman.

So Eva can't prove to the

police that you were in Paris.

Can you make them believe I was there?

Can you buy me an alibi?

- Do I have any alternative?

- I left her. It was a mistake.

I can not allow this bloody coincidence

to ruin my life with Alex and Sonia.

I can't.

The next time you call me, start

by telling me everything.

I'm gonna need something else.

What?

The police report.

I don't want this to haunt me.

I will take care of it.

Days later, the police confirmed that I had

been to Paris and they forgot the whole affair.

Felix satisfied the first part of

the agreement, but not the second.

One of my source managed to find

your name in the police archives.

And I'm afraid the prosecution

has also obtained it.

I would not have come this far were

it not for Laura.

What did you do when the police

reached out to you to identify her?

I did not tell her.

I know you contacted her.

Rich people don't want to stop being

rich and protect themselves

Protect what they have.

Go where the rich are... and

you will find security cameras everywhere.

How did you convince the

police that Daniel Garrido ran away?

Where are you calling from?

The phone booth at the port.

Speaking in a place so well protected is

not a very prudent move, Mr. Doria.

My nerves betrayed me, I know.

But, come on, don't think me so stupid

to contact Laura

just after police try to

involve me with her.

Then, when and why?

When I didn't know what else to do.

Laura would not stop when

she had what she wanted.

She did it with me

when we first met.

She was doing it again to forget

everything that had happened.

and the police have ruled out

that Daniel Garrido,

the boy from Bierge, who

disappeared three weeks ago,

had an accident.

According to latest research,

Garrido may have pretended

to have disappeared,

to run away.

Police sources reported

the boy took possession of

50,000 euros of the bank branch,

where he worked.

Daniel Garrido took away small quantities'

from the accounts of its customers...

Ready to set sail, dear?

I just learned that I have

an urgent meeting with Lee.

- Where are you calling from?

- From a booth.

We'll meet in four hours in the

bar in front of the junk yard.

What is this'?

The boy's wallet.

I took it before putting

him in the trunk.

I thought it could be

useful and so it has.

After the accident, Bruno worked

at home for a few days.

I took the opportunity to put an end

to all this, in the only way possible.

Money Transfer

What are you telling me?

Your mistress was an expert

in banking IT system,

as well as a photographer?

Do you think that the

jurors are stupid?

She met her husband while working

as a clerk at the bank.

Information technology is making headway by giant

leaps, you should know this better than anyone.

Your mistress was keeping up,

while she was a photographer?

Perhaps she was helped by her husband.

Maybe she told him the truth but

didn't tell me to keep me out.

You didn't know Laura.

When she wanted something, she

would deceive and persuade.

The perfect prototype

of a femme fatale.

Do you realize what you've done?

What do you think?

Don't worry.

If I had left any tracks,

we wouldn't be here.

What?

What? Don't give me that look!

You didn't call the police because

you knew what we were doing was right.

No, we didn't do the right thing.

Adrian.

If I fall, you'll be right behind me.

The police came to see me.

Don't threaten me.

And you don't threaten me!

I have pictures that prove that

you had not been to Paris.

The days that followed

were not exactly quiet.

My company arrival in Asia, hand

in hand with a technology giant

most 'powerful in the world.

They attributed me with the award

of entrepreneur of the year.

I went head first into the

media hurricane.

Mr. Doria, how do you feel?

Very happy.

They sold me as the 'man

of the moment'.

An example for young people like me who

came from nothing and turned into a winner.

But it was pure appearance.

I felt broken for a long time.

Rotten.

- Mr. Doria.

- Yes?

A reporter wants to talk to you.

He says he knows you.

Yes.

If you'll excuse me.

Be careful with that.

See you later.

- To the right, please.

- Yes, thanks.

Mr. Doria.

Sorry to bother you

on such a special day.

You know who I am?

Ivan Souto 'El Periodico'

I just know that you're not Ivan Souto.

Please.

I am Daniel Garrido's father.

I don't know if you saw the news, but...

and they say he fled and, well...

I'd like to ask you

some questions, if I may.

All I know of your son is what

the newspapers say.

- I'm sorry.

- My son is not a thief.

And he didn't run away.

My son is dead.

Someone is laughing at

my wife and at me.

The day that the police spoke

to you, Elvira and I were there.

I know what I saw.

Our son used his cell phone

until shortly before Tomas

picked up that woman on the road.

So, it was impossible that

the phone was at home,

unless she brought it with her.

This could only have happened

if she crossed paths with

our son at some point.

And then, she was not alone.

There was someone else with her.

- But how can you be so sure?

- I already told you!

She adjusted her seat

before putting it into gear.

She was not driving.

She lied.

The car is my sister's. She lent

to me, and I'm not sure where...

She lied... and nobody lies

without a reason.

She lied to protect herself.

Or to protect you.

Do you have a light?

That woman was hiding something.

And so are you.

Really, I know nothing.

I was in Paris in those days.

That's what the police say.

But, an airline ticket and a

hotel reservation...

they prove nothing

Despite that... we trusted

the police and returned home.

Until a few Dias later,

the news appeared

accusing my son

of being a thief.

We understood that

it was all a hoax.

That was not our Daniel. In his

whole life, he had never hurt anyone.

My wife broke down...

when she understood what

that meant.

But I wasn't going to stop fighting.

I followed the one

track I had left.

You.

And I found out everything that you

might lose by a mishap.

What would it mean to you to

admit that you were not in Paris,

but with another woman instead.

I went back to tell the police, but

they didn't believe me.

That's when I realized

the power you have.

The power that makes a wolf

stronger than it is.

But I'm not afraid of wolves like you.

When you live through the most horrible

experience as a father,

that they take away your son,

that he disappears without

anybody caring,

fear no longer exists.

There's nothing.

Soon they'll find out that I am

an intruder.

So tell me the truth...

where is my son?

I assure you that you are confused.

You were in that car with that

woman whose name is not Raquel.

And you had an accident in

the place where I found her.

And my son's car was also there.

Was it you that got rid of the body?
