Buried

Alejandro’s funeral is once again a focal point in the show. It’s juxtaposed nicely with the present day funeral of Daniela, whose son is completely torn up over what’s happened. The group are surprised to learn she had a child.

Pedro and Marco question each other about what they were doing at Daniela’s, and Ana and Sofia join in. Pedro introduces Ana and Sofia to everyone, and the conversation turns to their relationship.

When Marco tells them all that the police have Daniela’s tapes, the trio are rattled. They believe the police could well have evidence of what they did 20 years ago. Tensions are high, given Marco and Sofia have a lot of history together, and they drive back with Isabel quizzing them over what the nature of their friendship was in the past. Naturally, we get a few flashbacks to show this, with Sofia and Marco passionately kissing and making love.

The officers continue their investigation into the death of Alejandro. They focus on the car he was found dead in, and believe that he was not driving it. flashbacks confirm this theory, as they show the officers moving him into the driver’s seat and taking his phone away.

Pedro tells Ana that he used campaign funds to pay the ransom. If this gets out, it could damage both their careers. Pedro promises to repay the money once they win the election. Ana is not sure if she can trust him. ..

Pedro learns that Luis has been in a fight at school and it was with a girl called Zoe. Zoe was calling Pedro an immigrant and Pedro stood up for his father. Despite this, Ana is still angry with her husband for lying and putting their relationship at risk. ..

The sergeant confirms that a tape has been taken from the collection they found in Daniela’s place, which appears to be the one showing exactly what happened in the past. Not only that, but it appears Marco is also taking pills too.

The sergeant refuses to let him go until the story can be confirmed. When the sergeant arrives at the hotel, she learns that Sofia hasn’t actually booked herself in. She did get dropped off at the hotel but the footage shows her walking away and leaving some time around 1.45am.

Ernesto called Pedro to ask for a meeting. He had learned about the two million dollars that were missing from the company’s books, and it was clear that Pedro was responsible. When Pedro showed up at Ernesto’s office, the two men ended up kissing. It appeared that Pedro was also sleeping with Ernesto behind Ana’s back, continuing this web of secrets everyone appeared to be holding. Back home, Pedro broke the news to Ana that Ernesto knew about them. ..

Ana admits that she gave Alejandro drugs and put them in his drink. Despite Alejandro being dead-set on his swimming, Pedro swings things in his favour, bringing up that Alejandro had a drug problem given he was arrested 3 months prior to his death. Still sticking to the 20-years-back storyline, the investigators gain a ping on Alejandro’s phone as it appears someone has turned it on.

As they all scramble out, we cut back to the present and see that Daniela’s son has all the ransom money in his truck and he leaves with it.

The Episode Review

The case is just starting to get interesting now, but it comes with a side order of soapy melodrama for good measure too. While this in itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it also cheapens the story a little given everyone seems to be either cheating or working behind each others’ backs. Despite this, there’s no denying that the editing in this show is very impressive, with the seamless transitions between the past and present working well to keep things stylish.

The show deepens the ties between characters this time as well, with more emphasis on the supporting players and how they tie in to Marcos and his plight. With Daniela now dead and her son involved in some way, we’ll have to wait and see what all of this means for our characters.
