As Irene is admitted to the intensive care unit, Elías grows suspicious of Aniceto’s involvement in the ruthless assault. Determined to find the truth and convinced that something doesn’t add up about the story floating that night, he tries to warn authorities. However, no one takes his hunch seriously.
