No.

Yes, on her legs.

We presumed they fell out of her purse

when she was strangled.

- She was strangled?

- Yes.

Were her hands placed

in any special way?

No.

But I remember we were surprised

that she had two very neat pigtails.

The body had been

dragged through the forest

and was in a terrible state,

but her hair was very tidy,

as if the pigtails

had been done there.

We found another neatly combed girl

a few months later:

Another neatly combed girl

two months later,

left by the river

at a campsite near Vera de Bidasoa.

Did you find

any more neatly combed girls?

Really, I have it all around here...

It might seem a bit disorganized,

but I have an exact map in here

of everything and where it is.

Was there an arrest or a suspect?

Never.

There were no clues

and no suspects.

We questioned everyone.

The girls' friends,

ex-boyfriends, families,

teachers, neighbors,

but we never found anyone.

In fact we couldn't even prove

that the deaths were related.

There were obvious patterns,

but they were scattered

all over the province

which made it very difficult.

Be sure to read it.

What is it?

Vctor.

He seems to think

we should celebrate our anniversary

even though we're separated.

Yesterday I waited until late for you.

You know that another girl was found.

It's heart-warming that

you go to those girls' funerals,

but you don't visit mom.

What's the use?

None at all, now.

Mantecadas Salazar isn't here.

It's just police routine.

- What do you need?

- A sample of the bakery's flour.

You'll have it in an hour.

You can send your squire to collect it.

Having the key doesn't mean

you can walk in here when you want.

She isn't having a good day.

I've just finished

restoring this marvel.

I suggested Flora we take it out

for a spin when the rain stops falling

and she told me

she can't waste the time.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Yes, Jonan.

What?

Freddy, it's Amaia.

My God, Freddy!

Freddy!

Wait! Hold on, Freddy! Hold on!

Hold on!

- Amaia!

- Jonan, in here, hurry!

Cut it! Hurry up!

You hold him?

He's alive! He's alive!

Call an ambulance!

This is deputy inspector Etxaide!

I need an ambulance.

17 National Road 2540.

17 National Road 2540, KM 15.400.

It's an emergency.

I LOVE YOU, ANNE.

I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

He has no drag abrasions,

or defense wounds or bruising.

It seems clear that Mr. Belarrain

tried to take his own life.

And the cut on his hand?

All I can say is that it's very recent,

but it certainly

doesn't seem like a defense wound.

Thank you.

Did you know he was having an affair

with Anne Arbizu?

I knew he was seeing someone,

but I didn't know who it was.

Freddy is lazy and useless,

but he's no killer, Amaia.

I know, but I need facts that prove it,

and he can't make a statement.

Hello, ngel.

I need to talk to you for a minute.

I'm here because of Freddy.

He's in trouble.

I need you to tell me

if you were together last night.

We learned he was having an affair

with Anne Arbizu,

the last girl to be found dead.

Once the news comes out

he'll be accused.

Your help is essential for his alibi,

both for last night and also

the days the other girls disappeared.

Freddy could never hurt anyone,

you know him.

I know.

And he isn't bright enough

to do all that on his own.

I need to prove it with facts.

I need to know where you were last night

and if anyone saw you.

We were in the Rosso.

- And in the hospital.

- The hospital?

I went to see him

and he was kind of weird.

I took him to the Rosso for a drink.

But he was in a bad way,

hung up on some girl

he called a hundred times.

I don't know who she was.

Then he went into the washroom

and punched the mirror

and cut his hand.

So I took him to the hospital.

He was bleeding badly

and I was freaked out.

Thank you, ngel.

So has Freddy been arrested?

He's in Intensive Care.

He tried to kill himself.

And you tell me now?

I don't know

which is better, Amaia,

that you left without a word

or seeing what you've become.

I need you to go personally

to Freddy and Ros's house,

take a flour sample

and analyze it with the rest.

And send someone

to take ngel Ostolaza's statement.

Jonan...

Thank you so much.

DAY 5

He's one of the kids who found her.

He told his father

and the man came to check it out.

How long have you been bringing flowers?

A week..

This way.

- Inspector Salazar.

- Dr. San Martn.

Johana Mrquez. 15.

Born in Santo Domingo.

She came to Spain aged 4,

and to Lekaroz aged 8,

when her mother got remarried

to another Dominican.

She had problems with them

and she ran away a few times,

so it seemed be more of the same.

Her mother reported

her disappearance several days ago.

Why didn't we know about it?

She reported it

to the Civil Guard in Lekaroz,

and you know how it goes.

So we never hear when things

are reported to the Civil Guard?

What kind of

collaboration is that?

I'll see that it doesn't happen again.

I'd like to think that.

She entered the emphysematous stage

a few days ago.

I'll confirm it at the autopsy,

but I'd say she's been dead for a week.

Some of these are fresh

but a lot are older.

The kid confessed

that they found her days ago

and they kept coming

to watch over her and bring flowers.

The arm was amputated with a very sharp

object, she has blows on her face,

scratches, a punch,

and those bruises on her neck

were made by two thumbs.

He strangled her with his hands.

The rope is different

from the one on the other girls.

And she was raped.

And there's no cake on her pubis.

This killer isn't the one

we're looking for.

He read about the other deaths

and he's trying to disguise his crime.

The autopsy will confirm it.

The judge should be here soon.

Are you the lady investigating

the basajaun crimes?

Yes, that's right.

My name is Ins Lorenzo.

I'm Johana's mom.

I'm very sorry about

what happened to your daughter.

You know that the basajaun

didn't kill my little girl, don't you?

And that she's been dead for a week.

I know who killed her.

His name is Jason Medina.

Really, I knew it all the time,

but I didn't want to believe it.

Did he tell you?

He was obsessed with her.

He put a tracer on her phone

but the day she disappeared

he said he'd removed it.

That was a lie. He killed her.

Who is Jason Medina, Ins?

How does he know your daughter?

Jason is my husband.

Locate Jason Medina immediately.

- You have to find him.

- We'll do that.

You should hurry.

This morning

he went off to the mountains.

He knows the whole valley,

he worked there as a shepherd.

That's how he knew

the hut in the forest.

If he knows the valley,

he can cross it without being seen

and get to France

crossing the Muga in the Pyrenees.

Ins, do you know who employed

your husband as a shepherd?

- It was Mr. Paco, here's his number.

- Thank you.

Ins...

You're a very brave woman.

Brave,

but without my daughter, ma'am.

Jason wasn't her birth father.
