BURNING BODY

EPISODE 1 - THE RESERVOIR

Pedro, my darling, where are you?

I know what we've said to each other and

that everything's way harder than it seemed at the beginning, but...

when are you coming back?

I really miss you.

And I miss you.

I don't want to tell you more to keep you out of it,

but I really need time.

YOU SHOULD REST

Mommy!

Mommy!

Sweetheart, I brought you this. Thanks. Leave it there.

How are you? Hm.

Do you have any news? He hasn't called?

Or sent you another text? No, Dad.

It's just that, that last day in the countryside...

I mean, he seemed happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.

Although it's also true that you guys are going so fast

that maybe we...we actually don't know him well, you know?

It's not your fault. That's for sure.

And this?

Yes or no? Absolutely.

Yeah?

Even if you're on sick leave. Let that poor wretch see you strong.

And then you just turn around and go to that dinner, and that's it.

I don't think so. What do you mean?

Put yourself first for once, okay?

Oh, my sweetie pie. Ah!

What's the matter with my sweetie pie? What is it? What's wrong?

I didn't let her watch the big TV during breakfast, and look at her now.

Well, hon, Mommy has to paint the room downstairs.

You already knew that. Didn't you?

I already told her.

Pedro's ex.

Ciao.

Tonight, I'll come with your mother, and you can go to that dinner.

We'll see, okay?

Hi, Silvia. Where the hell is Pedro?

I had to bring the kid to the precinct. He's got a checkup in an hour.

And he keeps asking for joint custody.

Can't believe this.

Okay, call him, then. I already did. He won't pick it up.

Do I have to take the kid to him too? Where is he?

He's not here. And where is he?

You could see it coming.

Anything else, Silvia?

That's all. You're busy. I get it.

Unbelievable. Jesus.

POLICE

What are you dressed up as?

I asked to go back to work.

Why's that? The shrink has had enough of you?

These are our conditions for the custody agreement.

We won't settle for anything less.

Page seven.

Is it gonna be like this all our fucking lives?

That's up to you, Javi.

We just wanted to avoid going to court.

Sofía doesn't wanna see you.

Oh, are you sure? The girl adores her father.

The girl's having a hard time, Carmen. She even wets the bed at night.

She's my daughter, Rosa! And she will have a father.

Look, there's no way that asshole's gonna keep my daughter! Understood?

He doesn't even give a shit. How would you know, huh?

Pedro just couldn't make it.

How exhausting it is to do nothing.

What's your problem with Pedro?

He's a son of a bitch.

He just wants to screw me.

HOW ABOUT VICENTE'S RETIREMENT PARTY?

I DON'T KNOW, HE'S A SON OF A BITCH. HE'S OUT TO GET ME.

Come on, guys. Let's go.

What the... Good!

Well done.

Good job. Yeah. That's it.

That was good! Good! That's it!

Well done, man. Right on.

Blow in here.

Your ID. You're negative. Drive on.

Hey, are you coming to the dinner tonight or no?

Yeah.

By yourself? I don't know.

Starting today with the news of another case of domestic violence.

This time it has taken place in Granada, where a woman in her 30s...

Hey, Juan! Hi, Albert. What's up? How are you?

I'm good. You? Very well.

Rosa is almost ready. Okay.

Um... And thanks, huh?

'Cause, you know, when she stays here, she's constantly thinking about it.

Yeah. And this guy, meanwhile, well...

Who knows. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Listen, did she tell you anything else?

No. As a matter of fact, she didn't.

Albert! Long time!

Too long, actually, if you ask me. Hey, Sofía.

How are you?

Say hi. Hello.

Oh, I brought this for you. Huh?

Whoa! I hope that you like it.

Look what it does.

Awe, so sweet. Here, I'll take that.

What do we say?

I don't think she likes it too much. Yes. Of course she does.

Awe...

Sweetheart!

Hey, uh, please don't mention either one of them to her.

Mm-hmm. Don't worry about it.

My God, you're beautiful! Oh, wow!

What?

I'm not in the party mood.

Come on. Later on, you won't wanna leave.

Hey, Mom!

Shall we go? Let's go.

Okay. I'll be back soon.

See you later. No need for you to sleep over.

Goodbye, Sofía!

You know, you could've brought the car. Why?

Yes, police, how can I help you?

Yeah. Hello. I'm calling from the Foix Reservoir.

Hey, no! No, no, no. They're only screwing the owners.

To top it off, they force them to pay more for lawyers. You know what I mean?

That's not okay. They have to do it sooner or later.

Hey, manager. Get the manager, please. The manager.

Now, in Badalona, some people have gathered to prevent squatting.

Fucking squatters? Exactly. You know them?

Uh, no. It's not on fire anymore. Alright.

We'll send a unit right away.

Great, thank you.

No! Honey, honey. That's a dirty job, hon.

To fight with those guys, you gotta... What?

You gotta pee standing up.

You're so annoying, Álex. Hey, it's not... I'm just warning you.

They're gonna get horny just by seeing you.

Oh! Right?

Albert? Yeah, what is it?

I can see you out there kicking some ass. Well, I see you kicking ass too.

Hey. No, no, no. I'm going first. Pass the clams? Thanks.

When I was in the neighborhood patrol... Look.

Hey, Mr. Big Shot.

We're talking about thugs for a thousand bucks.

That's what I'm talking about! Come on! Hey, that's...

I'm sorry. You're crazy.

Clams? Hey.

You're nuts, dude. Bring some more, but nice and fresh.

And five bottles of cava. No, not these. Not these.

These will stay with me. We're gonna guard them.

I thought you were serious.

Hey, Rosa. Smile for me. Picture time.

Olé!

FOIX RESERVOIR

Hey, Rosa. What's up?

Tell me. How's Cris?

Well, she's fine. Yeah. How about Pedro?

Fine. You know how it is. Mm.

Hmm. Reggaeton.

Shall we? No. No, no, no, no.

You sure? No, no, no. No, thanks. I'm tired.

Okay. Well, see you.

Pedro, um...

Hey, I don't wanna be a pain in the ass, but, um, she came with Albert.

Uh...

Well, I'm sure you already know, dude.

Nothing weird, okay? It's all fine. I mean, I wanted to know if you both...

if you're okay.

Um, shouldn't another patrol car be sent?

You won't toughen up that way, kiddo.

And don't complain. You're in good company.

What? What's wrong?

Those fucking narcos are crazy. Jesus. Six corpses so far.

Yeah, they love to burn traitors' vehicles.

Yeah, with the traitors inside.

The inside is a wreck. And no bodies found.

Hey, let's get going. Look for the VIN number.

Oh shit. You okay?

I wish you were here.

We have to sort it out.

I really love you.

He'll have found someone younger. Pedro?

He wants another kid. She doesn't.

Then go for a 20-year-old.

Nonsense. Come on.

Grandpa! I'll go. I'll go.

You got it?

What if there's a ghost or a monster?

No. No. What are you saying? There's nothing in the room downstairs.
