Official Competition (2021)

Juan (Luis Tosar) is a middle-aged Spanish intelligence agency operative who leads a small team that includes a male hacker and a female operative with a range of skills. He juggles tracking a wealthy couple who are involved in meetings with a Neo-Nazi leader and a weapons trafficker and surveillance of a young congressman.To gain access to the weapons trafficking couple's mansion, Juan and his team stage a kidnapping of the couple's live-in Filipino maid, Wendy (Alexandra Masangkay), and they make it seem as if Juan is another kidnapping victim. The team throw the pair out of the vehicle at a stop. This set-up gives Juan the opportunity to meet Wendy. He romances her, which gives him access to the mansion so he can install hidden cameras.
Juan is shown to be a justice-oriented cop, without disregard for procedure. A wealthy footballer Fernando (Aron Piper) beats his Ukrainian wife Branka. Branka calls the cops and Juan arrives. Fernando has messed up Branka's face. Branka knows that she can't complain as Fernando's boss, the owner of the football club, knows the Ukrainian President. They will harass Branka's family, if she steps out of line. So, Juan beats up Fernando mercilessly, and reports the crime as a robbery gone wrong.As the surveillance of the weapons traffickers continues, Juan continues to meet with Wendy to gain access to the house. His team discovers evidence that the couple are planning to bring black market Cobalt-60 into Spain, which may be part of a dirty bomb plot.
Even though Juan is using his sexual relationship with Wendy as part of the surveillance operation, he starts to become emotionally attached to her. She tells him of her dream of saving enough from her work as a maid to return to the Philippines and open a bed and breakfast hotel with her sisters.Juan's boss, a career-driven, politically-connected officer named Galan (Miguel Rellan), assigns Juan to look into the life of newly-elected congressman Ángel Gonzalez (Denis Gomez) for illegal or unethical conduct. When Juan's team does hacking and video surveillance and it does not reveal any improprieties, Galan instructs Juan to lure the politician into a compromising situation. Juan knows from observing Angel that he is into sexual fantasies with teenage girls.Juan pressures Marta (Georgina Amorós), a teenage girl he knows from a previous case (she is the daughter of a famous actor, who got addicted to drugs when she was 15 and gave a BJ to a drug dealer for a hit. Juan still had the recording from the case), to participate in a honey trapping set-up. She sends flirtatious messages to Angel on a dating site. She meets Angel for drinks at a fancy nightclub and then plays it coy. Juan contrives a seeming "chance encounter" with her when Angel is on a work trip. She goes back to Angel's hotel room (in which Juan has had a video camera installed). After they have sex, she goes into the bathroom and smashes her nose into the sink, and then flees into the hall.Juan confronts Angel and tells him that he has just had sex with a minor and assaulted her. Marta feels sickened by her participation in the setup, and she smashes Juan's surveillance-cam laptop and flees. Juan finds the distraught teen at her apartment and retrieves his laptop. Despite the damage, the sex recording is intact.Juan knows that the Cobalt-60 is coming in from Argentina and theorizes that the smugglers will use the same route that they use to smuggle drugs into Spain. He trades 50 kilos of captured heroine to find the port where the cobalt-60 sample will land in Spain. Through that he tracks the couriers being used to ferry the sample to the buyers.Meanwhile, as the weapons trafficking case develops, Wendy discovers that Juan has been using her to get access to the house and she is upset at his deception. Juan comes clean to Wendy and convinces her not to run away. After Juan and his team track the Cobalt-60 shipment and arrest the smugglers, police arrest the weapons trafficking couple, but Wendy was out of the house. He asks her to stay at his apartment until she can resettle. Reluctantly, she agrees.
Juan convinces Galan that there is nothing suspicious about Angel. Juan knows deep down that Angel is innocent and this is his own brand of justice.When police arrest Wendy and threaten to deport her, Juan provides information to Galan to prove that Wendy was working for him. Galan explains that the intelligence service tries to ensure that they have compromising information on all politicians, to help the government to control leaders. Galan promises that Wendy will be released but wants the Angel recording in exchange. Juan gets her travel documents and a ticket to the Philippines so she can flee. He gives a hard disk of his surveillance operations to a reporter (Laura Domínguez) and tells her to blow the whistle on the intelligence agency's unethical and illegal practices. He then abandons his old life to join Wendy in the Philippines.

His latest target is retired judge Hector Blake (Hugh Bonneville). Despite the judge appearing socially progressive in public (he would take on cases pro-Bono on behalf of immigrants), Toby believes he's a hypocrite (Blake's father was a colonialist and Blake still has ivory pieces of antiques in his house). When Toby enters Blake's house, he discovers a pottery studio and an imprisoned man in the basement. But Toby has to leave when Blake returns unexpected (he had received an alarm about his wireless alarm system being disabled at his house).Toby tries to tell his friend and former accomplice, Jameel "Jay" Agassi (Percelle Ascott), about what he found. However, Jay's distracted by personal troubles with his pregnant girlfriend, Naserine "Naz" Raheem (Varada Sethu). Naz is thrown out of her house by her parents and Jay has to take her in and provide for her. Jay says he cant do anymore missions with Toby. He refuses to listen to Toby, when he seeks help with what he saw at Blake's house. Toby anonymously calls the police, but they find nothing in Blake's house and leave. There are noises coming from the basement, but Blake makes it look like they are coming from the washing machine.Lizzie (Kelly Macdonald), Toby's widowed mother, has grown increasingly worried about her son's lack of direction. When she and Toby get into a shouting match, she throws him out of the house. Toby insults Lizzie by saying that his dad bought the house and she has done nothing to earn it. To top it, he demands that he be given the money that his dad left him, but Lizzie says he is not ready to handle that kind of cash.
Toby returns to Blake's residence to free the prisoner, but Blake again returns unexpectedly & murders Toby with a cricket bat. He then uses the kiln in his studio to cremate Toby's body, and flushes the ashes down the toilet.Jay is reluctant to disclose his graffiti activities with Toby to the police or to Lizzie, but plants a letter addressed to Blake in Toby's room. The letter spurs the police to visit Blake's home again (Since the last known location of Toby's mobile was also the same street as Blake's house) and they find the basement prison, which Blake claims is a "panic room." Blake is arrested for obstructing the investigation, but uses his connections to quickly get released.Lizzie begins following Blake. She witnesses him bring a man to his house: Omid (Yazdan Qafouri), a gay Iranian asylum seeker. Omid works at a spa that Blake visits and meets him there. Blake has offered to help him get permanent residency in the UK. Blake recalls how his cruel father took an Indo-Persian man as a lover, and this led to Blake's distraught mother's suicide. The teenage Blake eventually assaulted and nearly killed his father's lover. Despite being drugged, Omid manages to escape (Lizzie was lying in wait outside Blake's house and sees everything. Blake doesn't pursue Omid due to fear of being recognized by Lizzie). However, Omid won't go to the police due to his precarious residential status. The next day, Blake tracks down, threatens, imprisons, and murders Omid. On Omid's phone, Blake sees many messages from Lizzie and knows that Lizzie is Toby's mother.Increasingly desperate, Lizzie asks Jay to help her break into Blake's house. Jay refuses because he's a black man with prior charges, and is responsible for his new-born son. Lizzie tells Jay that she knows he and Toby were the graffiti painters by the tag of "I Came by".. She had found a USB of Toby where he stored photos of all his jobs and found Jay's photos in there as well.
Lizzie enters Blake's house alone, only to be caught, murdered, and cremated. When Jay goes looking for Lizzie, he realizes she's dead and blames himself.
Jay and Naz's relationship falls apart due to his lack of communication and hiding the past from her. Sometime later, Naz informs Jay that Blake is going to attend the Birlstone School's tercentenary (300th) anniversary celebration.After Blake leaves the event, Jay follows him to a country estate. Jay fights and subdues Blake. Jay then goes to the pottery studio in the estate's garage and finds a prisoner: the same man that Toby originally discovered. Jay calls the police, frees the prisoner, and flees the scene. The police arrive and find Blake bloodied and restrained in the house. On the wall, Jay has left behind graffiti reading "I CAME BY."
