Caught (Atrapados)

.

I think it's about time you learned how to drive.

Yes, mom.

It's this way.

Hurry, give me the light.

Shh.

Oh, wow, amazing house.

- - Quiet.

Shh!

Hey.

Leave everything as it is, so they don't notice.

Mrs. Edelina?

-Shh. -Come on.

-No, no. -

Hello?

Are you here?

This way.

- -

Antonio, the lamp facing the grove on the other side

needs to be changed as well.

CAUGHT

BASED ON THE NOVEL BY HARLAN COBEN

Bruno.

I'm running late. You seen my sneakers anywhere?

-When'd you get back? Where were you? -

We went to the lake. The door was locked so I figured you were sleeping.

When are you gonna pick up after yourself?

-Mom, I'm running late. -I don't care.

You're gonna clean this mess up now before you leave.

No, I can't skip school today. I have a Civics test.

Seriously? You have an exam? And you stayed up all night?

Alright, go to school, take the exam, come right back here when you're finished.

What for?

What do you mean, "what for"? To clean this up, Bruno!

Bruno, please, just please.

Throw all the parties you want. That's not a problem.

That's what this house is for.

In fact, I'd prefer that you do it here, instead of breaking into houses

or just wandering around.

Okay.

You're not listening to me. Bruno!

I'm running late. I'll clean it up when I get back.

Here they are.

Hun.

I get it, you're feeling overwhelmed right now.

You feel like you're going crazy.

I was a teenager once too, you know?

I know all too well what you're going through.

At your age, you have every right to be mad, to rebel. It's completely fine.

But you have to find another way, hun. I'm worried about you.

Wow, good for you. Can I go now?

I knew this would happen.

What did you know would happen?

That was the first time I met Martina.

Fran needed me for a business deal in Buenos Aires,

or, at least, that's what he said. He flew us in on the same flight.

Why not mention that to the police when they found her body?

It's Fran Briguel. I assume you know Fran Briguel.

Hello.

Hello.

Have we met?

No, I don't think so.

Are you a friend of Fran?

You can relax. I won't ruin your trip.

I was gonna take a regular flight, but Fran offered me a seat on his plane.

-Oh. -Don't worry. We don't have to talk.

And when you got there, did you go anywhere else with her?

No. We said goodbye at the airport.

There was a car waiting to take her to, um, Teatro Colón, I think…

How do you explain this?

Did you see the girl that was on the plane with you?

She's in this room.

Deal with it.

-What do you want me to do, Fran? -I don't know.

Calm her down, get her out of here. Whatever needs to be done.

Please.

-Martina? -

Martina, are you in there?

What're you doing here?

I want to help you.

Did Fran send you? Do you work for him?

Why don't you come out so we can talk?

Get lost! I'm fine in here!

- Tell me what happened. -What's it matter?

You need to get home, Martina.

Look, I know you're in Buenos Aires alone. I want to help.

Please open the door.

-Please. -

Tell me what happened.

That man is a monster.

I came here to do a livestream, that's it.

Because I'm young, he thinks that I'm stupid.

Have you called your parents?

-Do they know you're here? -No. They'll kill me, if they find out.

Can you take me to a police station?

-To where? -To the police!

Did he do something to you?

No, but he wanted to.

He's repulsive.

I had to lock myself in the restroom and threaten to out him on social media.

That son of a bitch.

Come with me to the police, I don't want to go alone.

Come with me!

Martina, I don't know if you know who Fran Briguel is.

Who cares? That's not important right now!

I was very clear. I said, "No physical contact whatsoever."

And he agreed.

But the world just doesn't work like that.

If you want to go to the police, I'll take you.

I'm here to do whatever you think is best.

But trust me, the best thing you can do for yourself now is leave.

Leave and turn this awful experience you've had into…

just that.

A bad memory. That's it.

Why did you talk her into not saying anything to anyone?

I don't know. I keep thinking about it.

At the time, I thought it was what was best for her,

but ever since her body was found, I'm wondering if I did the right thing.

Did you contact her afterwards?

Yes, I called her.

I called her a few days later, and she seemed fine.

She was busy preparing for a series of auditions.

Do you always do that type of work for Briguel?

No.

Why would you say that? No.

No, it was just the one time. I mean, I've known Fran for…

Our families have so much history. We've known each other for forever.

But when I was young, I moved to Buenos Aires and we just grew apart.

When we moved back to Bariloche, I reached out to him,

and that's when he invited me onto this project.

- You can't just barge in there. -How's it going, Commissioner?

-Apologies, Sir, I couldn't stop her. -Just close the door, would you?

I don't suppose that this is a social visit.

Why didn't you keep investigating Fran Briguel's connection to Martina?

Because he had no reason to do it. That's why.

Can I read what he said?

Briguel's actions were questionable, no doubt about that.

But he's got nothing to do with Martina's death. Is that clear?

Were you aware that he tried to abuse her and Martina threatened to report it?

Not one statement corroborates that.

We need to keep investigating Briguel.

This guy is, at the very least, a child abuser, and needs to be stopped.

Do you really wanna cover for someone like that?

Maybe not, but you're the only one taking risks here.

Fabián Ramos, 38 years old.

They caught him in Neuquén.

Olivia Freire, 13 years old.

Camila Costa, 16 years old. Samantha Silva, 14 years old.

He seduced them using an online game and then brutally assaulted them.

Leo Mercer didn't rape these girls.

We'll never know why he killed Martina Schulz.

But if you hadn't gone solo on this, she'd still be alive today.

Bruno!

You okay?

At my finest moment.

I called you a million times, Ema. You had me worried.

Why didn't you pick up?

I don't know, sorry.

Where's Bruno?

I never thought it would happen to me, but it has.

It's official. My own son hates me.

Go easy on yourself.

It would be difficult for any kid. It makes sense.

He feels ignored. He says that all I do is work.

I told him I think about him constantly.

I'm always thinking about what he needs, how he's feeling, all of it.

He'll figure that out. I promise.

It'll work out. Trust me.
