Script (guión): Idioms, ‘catch someone red-handed’. If someone is caught red handed they are found doing something wrong or illegal. For example, when I was younger my mother always bought a big box of cream cakes for us all to share on the Sunday. She would buy them on the Friday evening but by Saturday morning three or four cakes always went missing. Now everyone blamed my brother. However on Saturday night I heard a noise downstairs so I went down with the video camera. I caught my dad red handed with a mouth full of cream cake, two more in his hands.
