It would appear that the IMDb reviewer Mark W from Portland Oregon expects every crime story to have a realistic happy ending where all the villains are carted away in handcuffs with a possible punishment that regards them languishing in prison for many years, and in the real world such people deserve that outcome.
It would also seem that Mark W must be so engrossed in all the American s**t filling our cinema and TV screens and at a guess doesn't watch much material not in the English language that he wouldn't appreciate an excellent thriller if it hit him in the face.
Francesc Garrido plays Juan Elias Who, Suffering from amnesia in the wake of the disappearance of Ana Saura (Played by Susana Abaitua). Elias remembers via a flash back that Ana witnessed him killing a man who was blackmailing him and so had her locked in a basement to prevent her from turning him in to the police.
The whole thriller was Brilliantly written and executed with each episode providing a roller coaster of twists and turns with Garrido who managed to maintain a poker face throughout.
If Mark W was paying close attention, he would have a better understanding of the ending. But, especially for Mark W, and at the risk of spoiling it for people who have yet to see it, I will endeavour to explain.
Firstly, Ana made after she denied that elias had anything to do with her kidnapping, she made a video recording revealing the truth, and gave it to a notary for safe keeping. Ana told elias of the notary and that she would have his sordid secret kept provided that she is given equal partner ship in the firm of solicitors in whish Elias was a principal player.
Secondly, She decided to blame her ordeal on a man who had already spent several years in prison, and while nothing more was said of this, you have to read between the lines and assume that was the accepted explanation and that the person they decided to blame was OK with it.
With regards to the man who stabbed Alicia Castro,(played by Blanca Portillo, You have to consider that he was banged to rights.
Taking this into account one has to conclude that there was no happy nor sad ending, just an ending which left the main villain with possible justice hanging over his head. Yes He gets away with it, but for how long?!.
