- sounds like 'invention', Mr. Doria.

- It's not my responsibility to find the guilty!

- No.

- It's Felix's and yours.

And, of course, the police, who

must catch the culprit. Not me.

You... are the guilty.

Mr. Doria, if you were in my place,

and I describe your theory

of the plot to you, what would you think?

I'm describing what happened.

I don't know what else is expected of me.

You know?

In the 30 years of my career, I have had to

deal with two types of clients.

Those who take responsibility

and cooperate,

although it would mean to go where

they don't want to,

and those who think are smarter

than me and expect

that I save them from a guilty sentence,

without getting their hands dirty.

You belong to the latter.

But let me be clear about two

things.

There'll be no salvation

without suffering

and you're not smarter than me.

Youth Missing in Bierge

Have you wondered if the new prosecution

witness had anything to do with this?

The disappearance of Daniel Garrido -

Shy and responsible young man

We have already lost 10 minutes, Mr.

Doria.

I'll ask you just once.

Do you know who was the man

in that hotel room?

If you want to know, if you want me

to get you out of the mess you are in

and avoid jail time,

don't lie to me anymore.

It all started about three months ago.

- Darling.

- How's Paris?

- Full of nasty French.

- The meeting didn't go well?

- I don't think we'll close.

- My father called.

He's invited us to go sailing on Sunday.

I told him we're going.

He's dying to see Alex.

- All right.

- It's dad!

Let's see, say dad.

Dad!

Listen, Sonia I have to

get to the airport.

OK. Are you coming home or

are you staying in Barcelona?

I'm coming home.

Let me know when you're boarding.

I love you.

Me too.

Who was it?

It was Sonia.

What time is it?

It's almost six.

We fell asleep.

Dad.

Dad.

Shall we?

- The GPS did not say that.

- Yeah, but through here it's quicker.

You could also go faster, right?

- Should I drive?

- You are already driving.

What's up'?

I spend the days lying.

I don't think that when you're with me

you do.

The rest of the day I lie

'cause I'm with you.

But being with me makes you happy.

Doesn't it?

I love how I feel when we're together.

Remember what we said when

we first got together?

That's what both wanted.

- And when also said that the time would come...

- Adrian, you want to leave Sonia?

- No.

- I don't want to leave Bruno either.

That's why this is perfect for us.

Yeah, but you can't have it all.

You always have to

sacrifice something.

We're fine.

- Everything is alright!

- No, what we do is wrong.

You know it.

It's done...

I'm sorry.
