The Cliff (Acantilado)

BASED ON THE NOVEL "EL CONTENIDO DEL SILENCIO" BY LUCÍA ETXEBARRIA

See you! Bye!

Get ready for the rough weather again: cold, snow and big waves.

- Amaya, the weather is already changing. - Yes, it's cold and this morning...

- Hello. - Hi, love.

- How are you? - Fine, and you?

Fine.

- What? - There's a vacancy in the Ministry.

- And yours is the only name on the table. - That's great.

The official announcement will be issued in one week.

- Are you happy? - Yes! Very much!

Hi, boss.

- What do we have here? - Eight bodies.

Five women, three men. The current is bringing them to the shore.

The coastguard can hardly cope.

Apparently, they jumped off that cliff.

- Any identifications? - Just a few so far.

There are several foreigners.

Any news about Ribera?

Hello?

Yes, I'm her brother.

Did something happen to her?

Yes, yes, sure...

I'll catch the first flight I can find.

Thanks for calling.

- What's wrong? - The police.

The members of a cult committed mass suicide in the Canary Islands.

Apparently, Cordelia was with them.

But is she dead?

There is an unidentified body.

They think it might be my sister's.

I'm so sorry.

- Are you Gabriel? - Yes.

I'm Helena. Your sister and I were roommates.

- I warned the police. - Mr. Larrea?

- Yes. Hello. - Hello.

Vicente Martínez. Police inspector of Gran Canaria.

- Come with me, please. - Sure.

We've found the same substance in all the bodies. A strong opiate.

So they were drugged when they jumped.

Everything seems to indicate that.

It's not her.

No, it's not her.

Here, on this one. And here.

Boss, this is for you.

- Sorry. - Inspector Santana,

Gabriel Larrea, district attorney in Bilbao.

- Hi, Helena. - Hi.

Thanks, Martínez. You can go now.

The picture you asked me to bring.

Right before she joined the Community.

Do you know her?

- No. - Yes.

She's Mother Heidi. That's what Cordelia called her.

Heidi Meyer.

The leader of the cult and the main suspect.

We haven't found her body.

- How could you not foresee this? - Those people didn't go against the law.

They'd grow tomatoes, pay their taxes...

You should know: without a crime, there's no case.

- I need to ask you some questions. - Sure.

- Your sister had money, didn't she? - Why do you ask?

Some of the deceased had made big bank transfers in the last few days.

- Including your sister. - My parents died when we were kids and...

we did inherit some money.

Was your sister involved with drugs?

Drugs? What does that have to do with...?

Yes. There was a time when we used all kinds of drugs.

Any suicide attempt?

- No. - Yes.

I guess all this information is confidential.

As far as I'm concerned, you're the relative of one of the victims.

- I have no interest in making it public. - May I help you with anything else?

If your sister's body appears, there'll be paperwork to deal with.

You'd better stay for a few days.

How many days?

The investigation will take some time, but...

if you don't think it's essential, you can go back to Bilbao.

- We'll keep you informed. - I'll find a hotel. Thanks.

- I'll take you there. My car is outside. - I'll wait for your call.

I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances.

Next time, I'd prefer that you did the identification alone.

Yes, sure. Don't worry.

So Cordelia and you were roommates?

Yes, we lived together for over a year.

I'm sorry, I hadn't heard about you.

She did talk about you a lot.

- Did she? - Yes.

My sister always wanted to see the world. She drifted apart.

- That's funny. - What?

She said it was you who drifted apart.

- Why don't you stay at my place? - Thanks. I don't want to bother you.

It's no bother at all. On the contrary. I wouldn't like to be alone today.

That's the one.

Come in.

You can sleep on the couch or on Cordelia's futon. You choose.

- The couch is fine. - OK.

- Hello? - I'll be right out!

OK.

Hey. I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a run.

- You didn't sleep well. - I usually don't.

That's a problem.

I have to go to work. I made breakfast for you.

Thank you so much.

- See you later. - Thanks.

Call me if there's any news.

Martínez.

- Show me the video. - It was recorded yesterday.

- Heidi Meyer had no suicidal intentions. - She knows where the camera is.

- And she makes no effort at all to hide. - Who's the other person?

I'd say it's a woman, but I can't really tell.

- What about the terminal? - We're going over the CCTV recordings.

- So no record of her getting on a plane. - Exactly.

Good. Forward that video to me.

No, we still don't know anything.

We need to wait for the body to appear.

If it even appears.

They asked me to stay for a few days. How's your father doing?

Don't worry. He understands the situation. He'll cover for you.

Thanks.

I'll be waiting for you.

- Call me if there's any news. - Sure. I'll call you if there's anything.

Hey, I love you.

I love you too.

Bye.

15 PEOPLE FOUND DEAD IN THE CANARY ISLANDS

TRAGEDY IN THE CANARY ISLANDS

- Hi, can I help you? - Yes.

- I was looking for these. - Let me see.

You won't believe it, but I was just sorting out Blake's work.

- Really? - Yes. He's one of my favorite poets.

Here... I love his engravings too. Do you know them?

- Yes. I've studied them at school. - What school?

- Art School. - Oh! Then, you're gonna like this one.

- Look. - Let me see.

Let me show you my favorite.

This one.

- Do you like it? - It's huge!

It's my uncle Antonio's.

- Really? - Yes.

- Seriously? - Yes.

Do you want to see my bedroom? Yes?

Hello.

- Any news? - No, don't worry.

Is that farm of the Community far from here?

- Not too far, but it's in the mountain. - I'd like to have a look there.

- It's not a good idea. - I'll go on my own.

- The police told us to wait and be calm. - I'm calm. But I won't stand idly by.

Gabriel, Cordelia's brother. Antonio, my uncle.

And your boss, too. I'm really sorry about your sister.

- Cordelia was a very special girl. - Do you mind if I leave earlier today?

Take the afternoon off.

- Thanks. I owe you one. - You mean another one.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye!

Cordelia!

Cordelia, please, you need to go out.

I can't stand seeing you like this. How can I get you out of this bedroom?

Look at me.

Look at me.

You need to stop pitying yourself.

Get up.

Get up, come on.

Get up.

You can't go on like this.

- She's sad. - She instills mystery.

- Yes. - And melancholy too.

- Hello! - Hello.

You'll be very welcome.

Bye!

Meditation sessions.

- Do you want to go? - What if we go together?

You should start doing things on your own.

They jumped off from here.

The Europol has just sent an email. They want to control the investigation.

They ordered Foreign Affairs to keep them informed.

Many of the disappeared belonged to foreign powerful families.

Diplomats, businesspeople...

- In Europe, they fear the repercussions. - Shit...

Close the door.

What's that?

In here, there's a list of bank accounts,

under false names, out of Spain.

If Heidi Meyer is still alive, she'll try to access them.

Tell the Europol to investigate them.

Where did this come from?

Ribera.

Any news about him?

- Yaiza, they'll ask me questions. - And you won't answer them!

If they really want to catch Heidi Meyer, they'll know what to do.

Sure.

No, no...

- Not until we close the case. - At your orders, boss.

Did you get something?

They don't leave me alone for long, but...

I copied all I could.

- I was right to choose you. - Sure, inspector.

The credit is all yours.

Anything else?

They're nervous. They talk about some final journey, but don't tell me much.

We need to take action now.
