There are three days left for the 14M elections. The race for Moncloa is littered with unethical actions, not only from politicians, but also by the press. Aznar's government maintains that the attack was the work of ETA, while the opposition defends the jihadist thesis. This PP-jihadism relationship reminds voters of Spain's participation in the Iraq war.
Episode 3
Neutralizar
47 mins
The 11M terrorists are still free and have more explosives. In the vindication video they appear dressed in white, the color of mourning in Islam. That means they pretend to die killing. The race against time to locate and arrest them is the only priority for the police forces, which follow track after track, quickly, until they corner the jihadist cell in a Leganés apartment.

Condenar
50 mins
For three years, the case for the 11M attacks was meticulously investigated until it led to a macro-trial that has the whole country in suspense. Not all those responsible are sit on the bench, some don't because they blew themselves up, and some others, because their identity is unknown. Despite these conditions, justice acts in one of the most impeccable and, at the same time, disputed sentences in history.
