Hello?
Hi.
Do you know who this is?
Yes.
Oh wow. I didn't think you'd recognize my voice.
You sound funny.
Yeah, bad signal in this area.
Did you do as I said?
About what?
What we discussed.
Were you good?
I'm always good.
Are you checking up on me?
No, no.
I was worried. Just making sure you were okay.
I can take care of myself.
Right, that much is clear.
So why'd you call?
No. Sorry.
If it bothers you, I won't do it again. I don't want to be a pest.
I just want to say, if you ever need help, you can count on me.
Right, so,
if I get into a mess again, I'll call you, and you'll fly to save me?
Is that how this works?
I'd say it'll work the other way around.
You'll come to save me.
And what do you need saving from?
Want me to tell you?

FOR EMA GARAY
FOR BRUNO MELLER GARAY
Morning, Moni.
Ema.
Araceli, please.
I know what you said, but I'm doing this for me, not for you.
- Look. - Let's see.
A rosehip tart. We harvested those ourselves.
It looks amazing.
It's the least I can do to thank you.
You know you don't--
If it weren't for you, my husband would still be in jail.
You don't have to--
I'll go before you start with the speech about how it's not needed and all that.
- Thank you. - No, thank you. See you, Ema.
See you soon.
Good morning.
Morning. How's it going, guys?
FINALGAME05 BORED AT SCHOOL?
WHEN WILL YOU SEND A PIC?
Vicky.
- One second. - Sure.
Hey.
Hi.
He's early today.
MOM WON'T LET ME
FINALGAME05 I WANNA SEE YOU. YOU MUST BE GORGEOUS
LOL, SO SEND ME YOURS THEN
FINALGAME05 SO EMBARRASSING. NOT SURE YOU'LL LIKE ME
COME ON…
SOON
FINALGAME05 HAS LOGGED OFF
- Did you speak to the developer? - I did.
- Anything on the IP? - Zero.
Even if he's a child predator, a claim is not enough.
They'd need an actual police request.
They sure like to drag things out.
- Yeah. - Keep pushing, though.
I'll make one last try with the chief. If not, we'll approach the families.
You think so?
We can't just sit around.
CEM # 48 HIGH SCHOOL
- What will you wear? - Not sure.
Maybe a denim corset with… jeans? Denim on denim.
- I like it. - Yeah, me too.
You could wear your gray… skirt.
- Totally. - So cute.
- Are you going? - Yeah.
You?
Sure.
Mati.
Mati!
Nice one.
Mati!
Let's go. A little more. Come on, harder.
- Let's go. - Coach.
Faster, Flor. Come on, move it.
We can hang out.
- Totally. - Have you started the project?
- Look ahead, jerk-off. - What if we bring a ladder?
- That won't work, man. - Why not?
- The house has an electric fence. - Fine, so we'll cut it.
And the alarm? It goes off, do we cover our ears?
And what about the password?
Gael's aunt cleaned there three weeks ago. We've got the password.
- They could've changed it. - He knows it.
We need to reach the panel first. Or it's pointless.
I say we go through the water.
What did you say, Brian?
Bruno.
Fine. Bruno. But what did you say?
There's no fence in the water.
Go for it, Gael, shoot.
Smart guy, huh? Really smart.
BARILOCHE POLICE
According to the penal code, without solid, undeniable evidence,
the police can't act.
Come on, chief.
We need proof linking the user you're chatting with to any prior cases.
Or for him to disclose his identity or age.
- The minor's complaint with the username. - The anonymous email? Hardly evidence.
So give me access to the other victims' case files.
I may find a pattern, see if he's a serial predator.
Something useful.
Camila Costa's file, for example.
Let's do this instead. Give me the username you're using to chat
with the alleged suspect,
and I'll do my job, which is catching criminals.
- No. - I'd grant access to the file.
- No. - You'll have exclusive rights.
You and the court have the username, yet nothing came of it.
If I give you the username I created and all I've done, what will you do?
Keep waiting for sufficient evidence? That won't get us anywhere.
You're a big girl. You know how this works.
My hands are tied otherwise.
Hello.
- How are you doing, Isabel? - Morning.
I'm Ema Garay. I'm a journalist for the digital magazine Lado Bariloche.
Hi.
Can I have a minute with your parents?
Come. Let's go.
I apologize for approaching you like this,
but I'm investigating a predator operating online,
and it might be related to what happened to Camila.
Camila's already given a statement, not once but several times.
No, I know.
The thing is, I don't have access to the file.
I know Camila couldn't identify the attacker, but I--
Okay, that's enough.
Hello.
- Who are you? - A family friend.
Fine, family friend.
If you'll just let me--
Shall we dance?
They said no journalists.
No, it's just that…
They'll talk when they want to and when they need to.
Not now.
So, if you please…
- Are you pushing me? - I am not.
I'm asking you not to think only about your scoop
and profiting off people's suffering. Please.
You don't know me, so don't lecture me on things you have no clue about.
You don't know who I am.
You're right. I apologize.
I don't know who you are or what you're after.
But I'm sure you can empathize with people.
That's all they need right now. Nothing more.
I'm sorry, Isabel.
I truly regret this whole situation.
I want to find Camila's attacker.
It might be the same person we're investigating.
If at any point you feel you can talk, here's my card so you can…
Coffee from the corner shop.
You're a lifesaver. So? Any news?
They keep jerking me around.
It's insane. We can't keep waiting for the guy to make a move.
We need to identify him somehow, put a face to him.
First we need to lure him out of whatever hole he's hiding in.
Yeah.
What if we set up a meeting? He shows up, we snap a picture.
See his face and cross-check it with the sex offender registry.
Would he even agree? If he suspects, we'll lose him for good.
I don't know, but we can't just sit here. He could be chatting with multiple girls.
Maybe even right now.
You're right.
HEY. WHAT IF INSTEAD OF SENDING PICS WE MEET AT A PARK OR SOMETHING?
- Now we wait. - Yeah.
We'd take an OB van, right?
Yeah, and we'd need to find a girl to act as bait.
I know a 19-year-old who could do it.
Would it be safe for her?
She's the Patagonian Jiujitsu champion, so…
- Oh, he bit. - Already?
Super quick.
I'm setting it up.
We need to get a fuchsia backpack.
WHEN? TODAY?
SURE
THE SKATE PARK? 3 PM?
- YUP, I'LL HAVE A FUCHSIA BACKPACK. U? - I'LL BRING A GIFT
- I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE - HAHA I'M SCARED
I'M NOT 17, I'M A BIT OLDER WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS, RIGHT?
We'll get you, you bastard.
Martina.
- Hurry up, we're late. - Coming.
Hurry up.
Sofi, I'm heading out with Martina. You're staying with Mom.
Clean up your room. We talked about this.
When I get back, I want it clean, okay?
All right, yeah. How are you doing?
The guy sitting there is watching her, isn't he?
Go to the one on the bench, Manu.
Let's try the one with the knit hat.
Follow him.
Yeah. Sixteenth notes are like… I don't know, just hard.
I practiced all weekend, but no. When the moment comes, I freeze.
Where are you?
They're about to call me.
You said you'd come.
- Martina Schulz? - Yes.
What do we do? Leave?
Let's wait a little longer.
- It's been over two hours. - What if he shows up now?
Get a little closer, Manu, please.
Miss Schulz,
this is your final audition.
Congratulations on making it this far.
What piece have you chosen?
Vivaldi's "Winter." First movement in F minor.
Very well. Ready when you are.
Half an hour more and we'll go, okay?
I'll step out for some air.
Watch out, lady!
Coming through!
Watch it.
I've got him.
Step aside!
Call Herrera and tell him. Say we need to ID him.
Hey, move.
Get his documents, stop him, whatever it takes.
He's heading toward the port.
They searched the whole building and found nothing.
This is the guy.
From behind. Nice. Got anything else?
No.
Why didn't you notify us?
I just told you today--
You need to realize that if the guy figures out we're after him, he'll vanish.
For good.
You should give me the contact instead.
Let me do the work.
Did you manage?
Yeah. Getting there.
I couldn't get Armando to help me.
- How's his therapy coming along? - He refuses to go.
What about group therapy?
He doesn't want to. I told him, but no.
I can't force him.
Why don't you tell him?
He listens to you.
- What does his father say? - His father?
Yeah.
I told you, some things can't be fixed.
How's your goddaughter doing?
Too bad.
I ran into Isabel at city hall and didn't get to ask her.
You know her?
Ema Garay?
Why do you have this?
She wants to talk to Facu and Isabel, I don't know.
- Yeah, don't you know her? - No.
She works at Lado Bariloche.
From Buenos Aires. Her son goes to school with Armando.
I haven't talked to her much, but she seems nice.
Haven't you seen Caught?
No, no clue.
- Isn't it kind of sensationalist? - Not at all, it's good.
I think it's brilliant. There he is.
- What's up, kid? - Hey.
I was told you won't get your hands dirty, so I must do all the work.
Leaving already?
Not sure, it depends. What's that?
- This one's new. Look. - Hey, hello?
Maybe you didn't notice someone else here besides Leo.
Give me a kiss.
And this one.
The French are playing at the restaurant. You should come.
If he's going, I'll go. You in?
No.
You said you'd come and help.
I'm going out. There's a party.
A party?
Yeah.
Where?
- I don't know. - Whose? What's it for? A birthday?
- It's a school thing. - Do you want to go?
Yes, Mom.
If I don't go, you'll ask why. If I go, you bombard me with questions.
I didn't bombard you.
- I love this one. - So touchy.
- This? - Okay, I won't bother you anymore.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
My name is Ema Garay. Do you know me?
- A journalist, right? - Right now, we're taping you.
There's a camera outside. I'm wearing a microphone.
Do you know why I'm here?
- No. - Are you sure?
No.
You don't remember him either?
His name is Juan Meller.
The last time you saw him was the day you killed him.
HIT, RUN, LIE
LADO BARILOCHE CAUGHT
OOPS! NO NEW MESSAGES OKAY
Mom.
- Mom. - Yes?
- Did you see Dad's workshop keys? - In the kitchen drawer.
They're not there.
- Did you check somewhere else? - No.
Well, look around.
Dad always left them there.
- Mom. - What?
- Where did you put them? - Me?
Yeah.
- Maybe you left them on the console table. - They're not there.
- Your room? - No way.
Well, they'll turn up.
Why do you need those keys?
Nothing, no big deal.
Hey, Bruno.
You know I love you, right?
Sure, Mom.
Hello?
Ema Garay?
Yes, who's this?
Leo Mercer.
We met this morning at the Costas'.
Yes, what can I do for you?
I wanted to apologize.
Camila's parents are in no condition to help anyone.
But if you're serious about catching the asshole who did that to her,
we can help each other.
All right, let's go.
FRONTERAS FOUNDATION
Remember, hypothermia is no joke.
You must act quickly but think clearly if you fall into the water.
That's what Pity did.
He calmed and encouraged Alexis, and Alexis managed to get the oar.
As soon as he finishes, he'll be with you.
Awesome, thanks.
When they climbed back up, they were more coordinated than ever.
Congratulations, both of you. Very good, guys, very good.
Good job. And don't forget what I always say.
To find out if I can trust someone, I have to take a chance and trust them.
That's it.
Leave the life jackets. Get something hot to drink.
- Rami, is everyone here? - We're all here.
Guys! Attention for a minute, please!
We'll take some minutes of your time, then you can return to your activities.
A journalist friend, Ema, is working on a very important investigation.
Please give her your full attention and, if possible, help her out.
- Sound good? - Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
So, as Leo said, my name is Ema Garay, I'm a journalist.
I came to ask you a few questions. You can raise your hand to answer.
I first need to know if any of you play or have ever played City of Persons.
All right, quite a few of you.
My next question is more personal.
Have you ever felt like someone was trying to seduce you?
Like another player even wanting to meet you outside the game?
Someone our age or older?
No, someone older. An adult.
Well, they could also be pretending to be your age.
You mean like grooming us?
Grooming?
Exactly that.
Have you ever felt like someone was grooming you?
Think so. Yeah.
I couldn't go to sleep without texting him.
I told him everything. And he told me things too.
Sometimes I'd send him pictures.
Some a little sexy, but only because he kept insisting.
When he said he was coming to Bariloche to see me, it was…
I was so happy.
He said he was a little older, but I didn't care.
I was so into him.
We agreed to meet at Arrayanes Plaza, but then Vale…
She didn't want me to go.
She couldn't hold back and told a teacher.
Obviously, they didn't let me go.
I was so mad at everyone.
Did you text him again?
Yeah, I told him.
But he didn't reply anymore.
So I realized I'd been so dumb.
You weren't dumb, I promise you.
I don't know.
But I believed him.
I really believed him.
You did the right thing by telling Vale.
Something was off, and you were able to protect yourself.
That's a big deal.
Was this his username?
No, it wasn't that.
Have you run into this player?
In City of Persons or anywhere else?
- No, not me. - No.
- Okay. - Germán.
Thank you.
- And? - What did they say?
Are you in?
No, sweetheart, no. There will always be another chance, okay?
Don't worry, you just have to wait.
Luckily, I don't have to wait anymore.
- What happened? Did you get in? - She got in! She's amazing! Sofi!
Sis, you're looking at the third violin of the Camerata.
So cool!
- Pose. Picture time. - Photo!
The work you do is so touching.
The kids seem so composed, so good.
Thank you.
So, Facundo, Camila's dad, was one of your first… I don't know, students?
- How do you say it? - How do you know that?
I'm a journalist.
Yeah, Facu was one of the first.
He was just a kid when I first met him.
The day we met, he tried to mug me with a knife.
We ended up eating pizza together.
Unwittingly, he gave me purpose.
I don't know where I'd be if it hadn't been for him.
Why is that?
Well…
It would've been good to have that as a kid.
Were you born here? In Bariloche?
You sure love asking questions.
As my son used to say, it's all part of the "blob."
- What's his name? - Bruno.
Bruno.
So yeah, born and raised.
You? From Buenos Aires?
- Is it that obvious? - A little.
I'll walk you to your car.
What's this place for?
That's where I live. My house.
You're one of those people who live for work and at work.
Right.
I feel like you're the same, a little.
Pretty much.
Would you like some coffee or tea?
How about a beer?
Is that you?
Yeah.
Here you go.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Would you like some water?
Please.
I should go.
So soon?
I had a meeting. I'm super late.
Cancel it.
I can't.
- I'm sorry. - Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine, but…
Well, maybe another time, I…
You don't need to explain. It's good.
Thank you.
Talk later.
- Weren't we going rowing? - Yeah.
- You sure don't waste time. - I'll change and be back.
CAMERATA FIRST REHEARSAL
Hey.
So? How did it go?
You promised.
I couldn't make it,
but I thought about you the whole time.
I wanted you to be there, not think about me.
You're right. I'm sorry.
Come on, tell me how it went.
Look, it doesn't matter.
I know you got in.
How do you know?
I just know. You will achieve all you set your mind to.
I know it.
I'm amazing.
You're a genius.
Think about how you want to celebrate.
As soon as I can, we'll meet up.
But listen.
I need to ask you something.
Mom, all good?
All good. You?
What's up with you?
What's up with me?
- What are you up to? - No…
Nothing, what do you mean?
Aren't you picking up?
Who is it?
- Nobody. - Let me see.
- No, give me the phone. - Let me see.
"Leo Mercer."
- Give me the phone. - Okay, who's that guy?
It's from work, what do you care?
Look at you, "work."
Fer's coming later. We're going out.
- Nice. - I'll be back late.
- Where are you going? - A party.
- Where? - Playa Bonita.
Pretty far. Why don't you take the car?
No need. We'll figure it out.
- Yeah? - Yeah, don't worry.
Okay.
SORRY ABOUT YESTERDAY. WHEN I ARRIVED, YOU WERE GONE.
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE.
I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.
I'M TRAVELING TOMORROW.
CAN WE MEET TODAY?
What did the police say?
They can't today.
No officers are available. We should reschedule.
Impossible. It has to be today.
The guy was clear. He's leaving tomorrow.
They're making us pay for not handing the investigation over.
That's why we can't give it to them. They're bureaucrats who won't do a thing.
Vicky and I can set it up.
If we solve the security issue, we can.
Yeah, find a place we can control and catch him on camera.
If we don't expose him today, he'll keep harassing girls tomorrow.
We don't know how many have fallen or how many more could.
Fine. Let's do this.
Move forward while I coordinate the framework with legal.
Perfect, thanks.
- Where should we do it? - The house with the red door?
- The Tapias'. Perfect. - Yes.
21-64-07.
It's unprecedented for Bariloche. I mean, 320 hectares, 600 plots.
So far, all the companies buying in are either tech or cutting-edge services.
National, international.
Next week, Germans and Japanese are coming.
I'm telling you, my partners are very excited.
- What are you laughing at? - "Partners"?
You're such an idiot. It's just a way of saying it.
- Come on, it's me. - You're an idiot.
You don't have to sell it to me.
How are the girls? Adjusting well?
Yes. I thought it would be harder, but no.
They don't miss Buenos Aires. They're happy.
One minute.
Sure.
Hello? Yeah.
Yes, tell me.
Where's Leo? It'll get cold.
He stepped out to take a call. Can we get two more beers?
Sure.
Look, Brunito. Kid! Looking nice!
- For me? - For you, man. Of course.
- Everything good? - What's up, all good?
What's up, Bruno? All good?
- Cool. - Cool.
- So nice! - Hey. Thanks.
- Bruno. - Gael.
You did good, bud.
Having a good time?
Hey. What are you looking at?
- What's it to you? - What are you, king of the night?
Don't get jealous.
Hi.
- Hey, guys. - What's up?
How's it going? All good?
Listen.
Pink coke!
Hey. I'm not saying "pink coke," asshole.
Nahuel, come on. Don't be a snitch.
- Marti! - Flor, over here.
- Hey. - Hey, what's up?
Hello?
Come on.
Wait. Who are you? What do you want?
Ema, is that you?
- Leo? - Why are you filming me?
Put that down. Turn it off, please.
Why are you here?
A girl called asking for help.
What are you people doing here?
Why do you chat with a 14-year-old child?
What are you talking about? Who? I didn't chat with any child.
- Why are you still filming me? - You came here to molest a child.
Molesting? What? She asked for help, so I came.
Get that thing off my face.
In the middle of the night?
Where is she? What's going on?
- How many have you molested, Leo? - What are you talking about?
Do you get off on little girls? How many have you abused?
What are you saying? Why are you doing this? Stop!
What did you do to Camila Costa?
What? Have you gone mad?
Why were you at the skate park yesterday?
- Go. The car, Vicky. - Yes.
Goddamn it.
Ask the police to go to his place. He might try to destroy evidence.
Let's go. I've got something for you.
Martina.
Let go!
Fuck this.
I don't fucking care.
- Come here, Manu. - He was about to go in.
Hold on a second. Can he come in?
Go. Don't touch anything.
Go with him.
Thank you very much.
Give me that.
He wasn't there, but we found this in his room.
He's the guy.
- We've issued the arrest warrant… - Chief.
What's that?
Pictures of minors.
Tell me you'll catch him.
We've alerted all the highway checkpoints.
What if he tries to escape to Chile?
If he takes the road, it'll be tough.
If he hides in the woods,
there's not much we can do.
I can't make any promises.
Why do you chat with a 14-year-old child?
What are you talking about? Who?
You came here to molest a child.
Molesting? What? She asked for help, so I came.
In the middle of the night?
Where is she? What's going on?
Do you get off on li--
