The Invisible Guest Page #5

Mr. Doria.

Did you notice the moon?

There's a huge

full moon tonight.

As big as the hole

in your story.

How do you know

unless you let me finish?

How did that driver

know about the swamp?

The noise I heard

before the car sank.

What if it wasn't just the deer?

What if Laura hadn't

convinced him we'd crashed?

I'm glad it was nothing.

Thanks.

Maybe he saw something

or suspected our attitude,

then pretended to leave

in order to hide.

Sure. I understand your problem.

You're trying to lead your story

away from Daniel Garrido's death.

- Excuse me?

- The driver was motivated by money.

If you focus on

the blackmailing driver

and people ignore the poor kid,

you'll look less guilty.

Have you got a better idea?

I'm going to ask you

three questions.

If you answer just one,

we'll go on with your

far-fetched story.

One:
Why the incriminating message

on your cell phone?

Two:
Why didn't the killer take

the money if that was his main aim?

And three:
How did he get

in and out of the room

like a ghost?

Do you see?

You're giving the prosecutor

just what he wants:

unconnected crap that will

shatter the illusion

that you have a solid story

without cracks.

Don't give me that again.

- Surprise me, solve one

of the questions. - Alright.

I'll tell you what could've happened

from what you've told me.

- Please.

- Let's go back to the station,

where the blackmailer

had to contact you at 5 pm.

It's 5 o'clock.

It must be him.

We shouldn't be seen together.

Hello?

I'll wait for you

in the Hotel Bellavista.

It's only accessible by using

the cog railway around the valley.

I reserved room 715 for you.

Another thing:

Leave the cell phone in the bin.

Take the train that's

right in front of you.

If you don't leave the cell phone,

the police will discover

the body of Daniel Garrido.

I'll ask. Wait here, okay?

- Hello, good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

I have a reservation.

Room 715, please.

Yes, in the name of Adrin Doria?

Fill in this form

and I'll get your key.

Did anyone see you?

Did he leave instructions?

We have to wait.

Something wrong?

He just sent me a message

from your phone.

I'LL TELL EVERYTHING.

ROOM 715. HOTEL BELLAVISTA.

It's a trap.

Let's go.

Adrin?

No, no, no.

No, no. Please.

I don't know where he is.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me,

I don't know where he is.

Hold on.

Hold on.

You suspect that Toms Garrido

was the person in the room?

Don't you?

It's a plausible option

to use to build your defense,

something the judge could buy.

Toms Garrido has a powerful motive

for committing murder.

If a father knows

that the police

are protecting those responsible

for his son's disappearance,

he has only one option:

force them to face up to it.

And killing one to incriminate

the other is a way to do it.

Exactly.

And it worked out perfectly.

Everyone thought you were guilty.

The police, your own wife,

and your financial partners.

Toms Garrido not only framed

you for your lover's death,

he destroyed your life

and your company.

And only Flix could get you

out of jail on a million-euro bail.

Together you set up

the theory of the plot

and I suspect he hired me

because he wasn't confident

it'd be enough.

Your lawyer knew that

if your story convinced me,

it'd convince a jury.

You hired someone to tell me

what to say in a trial, Felix?

She's the top person

at preparing witnesses.

She retired two weeks ago,

but she's taking this as a last case.

And I assure you,

she doesn't want to lose it.

The only way you can show

that you didn't kill your lover

is to implicate Toms Garrido,

and that means confessing

what you did to his son.

Sure, but that does us no good

unless we work out how he

got out of the room without a trace.

And when I came to,

there was no one.

Help!

Police!

Are you familiar with

the concept of lateral thinking?

It consists of changing

the perspective from which

one analyzes events.

For example:
in a wooden barn

that is completely empty

a man is found hanging from

the middle of the main beam.

The rope he hanged himself with

is 10 feet long

and his feet are 10 inches

above the floor.

The nearest wall is 20 feet away.

You can't climb the walls

or reach the beam,

yet the man hanged himself.

How did he do it?

He climbed onto a block of ice

that melted from the heat.

This is our barn.

The police photo file on your case.

The answer has to be

in the nature of your own story.

I don't know what

you expect me to see.

The details, Mr. Doria.

Focus on the details.

They've always been

in front of our eyes,

but you have to analyze them

from a different perspective.

What if the answer to the enigma

was never inside the room,

but outside?

Now she works near Bierge,

in the valley,

20 minutes from home.

Being lured to that hotel

so far away is no coincidence.

Toms Garrido set

a trap for you.

He could've sent you

that package himself

so you'd put the pieces

of the puzzle together wrongly

and make you doubt

what really happened,

because it was the only way

he'd find the missing piece.

Hello?

I'll wait for you

in the Hotel Bellavista.

He couldn't have known

about the swamp.

The area where you buried him

is full of swampy lakes

and the locals know it.

Toms Garrido only had to

toss a coin in the air

and wait for you to bite.

And you did.

- Was that what happened?

- You revealed yourself

and gave up Laura.

Here's your key

and have nice stay.

- Thanks a lot.

- Thank you.

- Good afternoon.

- Hello, good afternoon.

I have a reservation.

Room 715, please.

That was how Toms Garrido

was able to get into the room

without leaving a trace.

All he had to do

was wait for you and Laura

to go up to the room.

From there he could send

the message from Laura's phone...

He just sent me a message

from your phone.

...knock you out

to keep you out of action,

and carry out the perfect crime.

- Did you hear that?

If it was like that,

Tomas Garrido only had to

prepare the scene to frame you

and vanish the way out

his wife had set out.

He left the money to frame you,

put Laura's cell phone

back in the room...

and made sure they found your

prints on the murder weapon.

Hello? Is everything alright?

No one's come out.

Hello?

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Where did the noises come from?

A suite. Number 715.

Out of the way!

Out of the way, please!

Police!

Open the door.

Everyone out!

Come on, out.

Call Forensics.

- Guys, tell Forensics, we've

found a body. - Roger that.

The kid's mother was why

they took us to that hotel.

All she had to do

was make her husband vanish

so that I'd look guilty.

And the police

never linked her to you

because Flix erased your

name from his son's case.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Confirmed?

One hundred per cent?

Good. Alright, thanks.

The prosecutor's witness?

We still don't have his name,

but we know who he is.

The driver.

It means we have to think fast.
