A Photograph in Jonan’s Files

A Photograph in Jonan’s Files
A private record
Jonan’s archive contains images of Amaia with Markina, along with a file on the judge’s family history. The material suggests that Jonan had been watching the relationship as part of his investigation.
Unease replaces trust
Amaia initially does not understand why the photos matter. Their presence introduces doubt about Markina and about the limits of Jonan’s secrecy.
A Secret Prison Visit

A Secret Prison Visit
Conflicting accounts
The prison’s deputy denies that Markina visited on the day Berasategui died. Jonan’s surveillance photos, however, place Markina near the cell after the judge claimed he did not approach it.
A contradiction grows
Amaia compares statements, timings, and images. The apparent discrepancy turns a personal relationship into a formal investigative concern.
A Mother Still Alive

A Mother Still Alive
The concealed fact
Amaia discovers that Sara Durán is alive in a Madrid care facility, despite Markina’s long-standing claim that his mother had died. The nurse confirms that he has rarely visited.
A parallel deception
Sara’s confused attachment to Markina makes his deception especially disturbing. Amaia realizes he has hidden not only a family fact but a living relationship tied to his past.
The Father Named Tabese

The Father Named Tabese
A name recovered
Records identify the cult leader Xabier Markina as the father of the judge Markina. The respected clinician and the hidden spiritual leader are the same person.
The son’s inheritance
The discovery connects the judge to the old cult and to the present investigation. Amaia now has to assess whether Markina is a compromised relative or an active participant.
The Garment’s Gunshot Mark

The Garment’s Gunshot Mark
A forensic result
A textile specialist identifies Jonan’s fiber as a high-quality custom fabric with a gunshot mark. Its distinctive maker’s pattern connects the fragment to an expensive tailored coat.
A suspect in focus
The fabric matches the lining of Markina’s custom gray coat. The clue offers a material link between the judge and the shooting that killed Jonan.
