The Invisible Guest

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Mr. Doria?

Virginia Goodman.

I was sent by your lawyer,

Flix Leiva.

A pleasure.

- Come in.

- Thanks.

- Give me two minutes to

get dressed. - Sure.

...by members of armed groups

that have demobilized

and are contributing

to the search for the missing.

In national news,

the main news this morning

is the funeral held in memory

of Laura Vidal,

the renowned photographer

and visual artist,

allegedly murdered by

her lover, Adrin Doria,

recently awarded

in the prestigious

European Awards for Innovation

and Business Development

as businessman of the year.

Doria, who recently made inroads

into the Asian market

with his company

Global Go Tech Media,

is pleading innocent and states

he is the victim of a plot.

I was expecting you later.

Yes. We've had a setback.

I tried to talk to Flix,

but his phone's off.

He's out of town.

But he said everything was

under control, that he had a lead...

- That would change everything, yes.

- Exactly.

That's what he said

when I last spoke to him.

But I didn't know then what I do now,

and what he still doesn't know.

What?

It's very likely you'll be

called to testify tonight.

What?

One of my courthouse sources says

the prosecutor has a last-minute witness

who could turn

your case around.

We don't know who it is yet,

but they're being taken to the court

to testify in three hours.

I told the truth.

Your testimony has holes,

and I need details.

Plausibility is based on details.

I can use them to convince

the world that you're innocent.

I assure you, I can do it.

So far I've never lost

a case before any judge.

But I need you to cooperate.

The police have turned this place

into a cell, I'm watched 24 hours a day.

Don't you think if had anything to add

I would've done it by now?

They're going to request

your immediate arrest, Mr. Doria.

We have 180 minutes

to start over,

so I advise you to stop whining

and let's get to work.

Right, let's go back to the start.

What were you and the deceased

doing at that hotel?

We were told to go there.

We'd been seeing each other

for a few months.

Someone was trying

to blackmail us.

We were following

their instructions.

They wanted 100,000 Euros.

It's better to buy someone's silence

than face a million-dollar divorce.

I never wanted to divorce Sonia,

I love her.

Why that hotel, 200 miles away

from your lives?

I don't know.

Weren't you surprised they chose

somewhere so out of the way?

Who cares which hotel it was?

Had you and your lover

been there before?

The problem here is someone

pinned a murder on me.

Everything is important, Mr. Doria.

But it's alright,

first let's talk about

the message on your phone.

We'd been waiting

for two hours when it came.

Something wrong?

He has your cell phone.

He just sent a message

from your cell phone.

I'LL TELL EVERYTHING

ROOM 715, HOTEL BELLAVISTA

It's a trap.

Let's go.

Adrin?

I was unconscious

for a few minutes.

And when I woke up...

the nightmare began.

What's the first

thing you remember?

Banging on the door.

Police!

Are you alright?

Police!

Open the door.

Out of the way.

Laura!

Do you hear me?

Laura!

We know you're in there!

Open the door!

No, no.

Laura! Help!

Help, please!

Police!

Help!

Get up!

Hands up! Get up!

There was someone in the room.

Hands where I can see them.

I didn't do anything.

Hands up!

- I didn't do anything.

- Get down!

- There was someone else here.

- On the floor!

Don't resist.

Everybody out!

The police report says that

witnesses heard screams,

but didn't see anyone leave the room...

So you didn't see anyone

leave the room.

Which was locked from inside

by a chain.

The report also said that no window

could be opened from the inside

because in the cold months

the hotel removes the handles,

and they hadn't been forced.

They checked every way to get out

without being seen,

but it was impossible

without leaving traces.

And they didn't find any.

So, according to your version,

- your lover's murderer evaporated.

- That's right.

- Before he got out, he had to get in.

- He was there when we arrived.

But he had to get in somehow.

And the hotel staff said

only you had access to the key.

The whole crime scene

was set up to frame me

and give the police the false theory

that Laura fell in love with me

and to protect my marriage

I tried in vain to buy her off.

So I killed her.

- But it's absurd, a trap...

- Whose trap?

- I don't know.

- Why?

I'm telling you I don't know!

I just know my wife's left me

and taken my daughter.

And someone's getting away with it.

Unless you pay attention

and look for answers in the details

of your life, you know what?

- What?

- You're saying the police are right.

They say that nobody

had a motive

to destroy you like this,

so your version

sounds like make believe, Mr. Doria.

- It's not my job to find

the culprit. - No.

It's Felix's job and yours,

and the police, of course.

They're meant to catch

the culprits, not me.

You are their culprit.

Mr. Doria, if you were me

and I told you about this secret plot,

what would you think?

I'm telling you what happened,

I don't know what else you expect.

Do you know what?

In my 30-year career

I've met two types of clients.

Those who accept their situation

and cooperate,

even if it means going

where they don't want to go,
