[bunniefuu]

[soft clattering]

[ethereal music playing]

You all right?

Ah.

-Yeah.

-Shall we go on?

Yeah.

[cameras clicking]

[Enrique] Who planned all of this?

Who could hide something

so big from the public?

The government?

[distant siren wailing]

[Federico] Not exactly.

In Spain, there's a bunch

of institutions that orbit the government,

no matter their loyalties.

Then there's that generation

of police officers

who… who behave

with the same level of impunity

that they did under the dictatorship.

Extorting and blackmailing

left, right, and center.

[indistinct chatter]

-[radio beeping]

-[man] Yeah.

Once those other things

are settled down in here…

Uh, excuse me. [clears throat]

-This'll make you feel better.

-[woman] Thank you so much.

-How ya feeling now?

-More money and I'd be doin' all right.

-Not a chance.

-[radio beeps]

That's just your fault

for coming over here on your day off.

[woman] Mm. [laughs]

[radio beeps]

[sighs]

[somber music playing]

-Don't worry, okay?

-Don't worry?

[huffs] Did you see poor Mirella?

What if you and I had been here? Or Lara?

We need tighter home security.

It's not gonna happen again.

They wanted the interview,

and they got it.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

I shouldn't have put up with this.

Neither should Lara.

-I'm tired of playing second fiddle.

-[dog whines]

There's always something

more important than us.

The newspaper or your children.

What's gonna happen?

Will they publish the interview?

I don't think there's

a person in this country

who'd publish that interview

other than myself, sweetheart.

Whoever stole it… is clearly planning

to use it to blackmail me,

so I'm just waiting.

They'll show themselves soon.

It's just a matter of time.

All right. I feel so much better now.

[radio beeping]

[Federico] They have

front companies they use

to spy on judges, DAs,

politicians, businessmen.

Anyone who they consider

a person of interest

was monitored

and put into a classified file

which these cops could access

and then use for their own gain.

[man] Hey!

[Federico] They know as long

as they do what their bosses tell them to

in matters of state,

no one will interfere

in their little shenanigans on the side.

[Vargas] You see?

Things are so simple sometimes.

A little concrete,

and your problems are solved.

-[man] Hey. Let's go! Let's go!

-[object clatters]

[man 2] Careful!

Those solar panels cost a shitload.

sh*t. What are these assholes doing?

-Excuse me!

-[vehicles beeping]

What is this?

What… what are you guys doing?

[object clatters]

Gotta remove all the solar panels

until you pay us.

That's what my dad said.

I'm working on getting the money now.

I'll pay you soon.

You better hurry up.

[tense music playing]

[workers chatting]

Manuel, smile. Come on. Just relax.

It's just a little bit more money,

and you guys got plenty.

But our deal was for the interview,

not any money.

What the f*ck? Now you want

150k to pay the builder

and 100 grand more for you?

So don't pay it.

It's up to you. Whatever you wanna do.

If you ask me, I'd say,

"I think that kid's just reasonable." Hmm?

And well, you know me.

You know I'm always easygoing.

[man] All right, let's tie 'em down now!

Let's go! Go, go! Let's go!

[Federico] The problem is

we've let them get away with it.

[music intensifies]

-And we can't allow that.

-[music ends]

Our only option is stop these guys.

[suspenseful theme music playing]

[tires screech]

ROTTEN LEGACY

[rain pouring]

[thunder rumbling]

[woman] You're already here?

You've rediscovered

your passion for journalism.

[Andrés] No way.

I got here early to watch porn in peace.

I looked at it again,

and… I don't know what to tell you.

It stinks, for sure, but there's nothing

solid against Núñez Navarro,

and with Aguirre as our source,

I don't have much confidence.

I feel like you've gotten rusty.

You know the report it mentions?

It was filed shortly afterwards,

but… I've located the plaintiff.

[distant siren wailing]

-Do you think she would talk to us?

-Yeah, well, I doubt on the phone.

But if we paid her a visit,

I bet you could convince her.

TO MY PROOFREADER

ENRIQUE'S MEMOIRS

[lighter clicks]

[inhales]

[inhales, exhales]

[Spanish song continues]

[Manuel] Federico.

-[Federico] Manuel?

-Tell me it's not true.

Please, tell me

they didn't steal your interview.

Who told you about that?

[somber music playing]

What does it matter who told me?

But if I know, just think how many

other people already know about this.

You have to tell Guadalupe to get prepped.

I assume you can imagine

how messed up it is

that your daughter

is getting thrown into the lion's den,

all because of an interview

her own father did.

Don't use her to hide behind.

You're afraid of losing

your free ride, aren't you?

That's what you think?

That's what I'm doing?

Do you think I'd swallow my pride

and come over here

because I'm scamming you?

Do you actually think I'm not concerned

about the mother of my kids?!

First of all, calm down.

[lighter clicks]

Now tell me about what you heard.

-I told you. Your interview was stolen.

-And who's got it?

I just know that there's some commissioner

who's been bragging to his colleagues,

a guy named Vargas.

Okay, but how do you know all of this?

-From Antonio.

-[exhales]

He's head of security at the firm

where I was working when I met Guadalupe.

Typical type, civil guard, knows everyone.

I know. I know what you're thinking,

but I can assure you he's trustworthy.

He wouldn't've called

if it wasn't important.

And I honestly have no idea if this came

from higher up or he acted alone,

but one thing's for sure, Federico,

and that's if you do nothing,

this Vargas guy will take you down.

And your daughter as well.

[lighter clicks]

All right, Manuel.

So I'm gonna say something right now

I never imagined I'd say to you.

Thank you.

[music continues]

And don't worry.

We will respond to this.

[Rocío] It really gets me

when people don't say things to my face.

[Ibon] But you could see this coming.

Nothing changes. Same old story.

White smoke! Habemus minister, huh?

[car horn honks]

[sighs]

It seemed impossible,

then all of a sudden, boom.

Your name's the one that gets called.

I guess I'm well liked after all.

Among our government partners, you are.

Not sure that's a good thing.

Sometimes fighting's not the most

effective way of getting things done.

Of course anything's possible.

That's right.

But the strategy of having

the kind of family you do is all you.

Hey, listen. Uh, we could

cut her a little slack, right?

It's not like we have a candidate

that would've been much better.

And if she managed

to use her influence, so what?

She used the resources the system's got

built in… to boycott it. That's all.

-Look, Juanjo, you may be hot.

-[sighs]

But now may not be the time

for opinion pieces.

All right, no one here needs to comment

on my physical appearance.

All I'm saying is that,

in my humble opinion as a sex object,

is that this is a great achievement.

See? Guadalupe now has

our rival's nomination

and can finally stop them from torpedoing

the initiatives of one of our ministries.

[exhales] Ooh.

Well, anyway,

at the inauguration make sure to smile,

if you don't mind,

and pretend you're on board here.

I MISS YOU

[Ricardo] Not saying it's your fault.

I'M THINKING OF GETTING AWAY

FROM WORK TO SEE YOU

I'm just saying it seems a bit suspicious

being refused support for my documentary

after you had a fight with your father?

I mean, listen Ricardo, I'm sorry.

But to be honest, I'm sure that my dad's

not actively calling people

to make sure your film doesn't do well.

It's definitely possible.

It makes perfect sense.

Doesn't cost him a thing.

You always think

the world revolves around you.

Like some, um, evil force is trying

to stop your art from reaching the masses.

Maybe they thought

that your film was a little too boring

and, um, wouldn't sit through it.

[water running]

Could you at least put

your f*cking phone away?

[inhales sharply]

I'm fine with it out.

It's someone on Tinder that I like.

Thanks.

Do you have something to say?

-[sighs]

-[laughs softly]

Well, I'm off

because, really, it's, um, much more fun

getting smashed

by a stranger in a McDonald's bathroom

than listening

to this pathetic ranting over and over.

-Save it for you?

-I'll have it for dinner.

All right, then. Have a good time.

Tell me about it later.

That stuff turns me on.

SEND ME A PIC

I GOT SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU

-[server] Shall I put this on your tab?

-[Yolanda] Yes.

Hi. Having lunch with my boyfriend,

or do you guys just f*ck?

-[quiet, ambient music playing]

-[Yolanda] Harassment?

Look, mm…

There may have been a few times

when I came on a little… strong.

Harassment though? That's a stretch.

So now, all of a sudden I'm scary?

You're his boss, though. You've got power.

He said it was really hard

for him to tell me

and harder for people

to believe it from a guy.

Um, okay. Wait a second.

Uh, all right, first of all,

I'm not his boss anymore, okay?

Because I'm not on the board anymore.

And second, I really think

this kid is exaggerating somewhat.

I mean, he's making me out

to be like some kind of sl*t

coming on to her sister's boyfriend,

and I'm not!

I didn't know

he was your boyfriend at first.

I really didn't know at first, Lara.

As it went on, I did end up finding out,

but I knew nothing at the beginning.

Let me tell you something.

He's been coming on to me.

He's been really forward.

Seriously, I wish I had a recording.

You'd be able to see everything.

I've got some photos.

You wanna see a photo?

-No, I don't want to see 'em. Come on.

-I've got photos.

Anyway, he said

you were always going after him.

You kept going,

and it was impossible for him to say no.

What? [scoffs]

Oh my God, look.

That one night,

you and me and León all went out,

then Luis was there.

That night, well,

maybe… maybe I did corner him a little.

But there were so many drugs,

I'm not sure what happened.

I was confused.

God, if this were a courtroom,

I'd be in trouble. I know that.

I feel like complete sh*t.

People are dying for a case like this…

That women can be predators.

That it's not just men doing it.

I mean, if I just heard this story,

I would do a special on my channel.

I deserve to be exposed

for how much of an idiot I am.

-Lara, honey…

-[sighs]

I just… I don't know

what I can do to make your forgive me.

You can… insult me, punch me,

uh, spit on me. Tell me… What?

You said it all yourself.

Yeah.

[music fades]

[dogs barking]

Andrés. Hey.

Hi there. Are you Dr. María Pinos?

Yeah. Who are you?

We're… we're reporters from El Báltico.

Get outta here!

Get out, or I'll set my dogs on you!

No, no! Wait a minute.

The only thing we want

is to tell your story.

You filed a complaint

against Núñez Navarro.

Yeah, well that complaint cost me a lot.

It cost me even more to trust reporters.

I'm done.

-Get outta here.

-You spoken to other reporters, then?

Many times, yeah.

Okay, but we're not just any reporters.

He's the editor of El Báltico.

Look, I… I… I understand you wanna

put it behind you and start over

and you feel safe here, but…

but as long as this person's

able to get away with all of this…

I'm glad you feel safe here, but, um…

but do you really think

this won't happen to other women as well?

[tense music playing]

I don't have any good arguments

to make you trust us.

But there's a reason

you filed a complaint back then.

And I know we have no right

to ask for your help here,

but… but I think it's worth trying.

Help us here.

Help us to stop this from happening again.

That man's gonna be the vice president.

We'll be staying around here.

Please consider it,

and if you wanna talk to us,

give us a call.

Here. This is our card.

[dogs continues barking]

Sh!

[men laughing]

[music fades]

What an as*h*le.

[dog barking]

[distant g*nsh*t]

Good afternoon.

I'm very sorry to interrupt.

May we talk for a minute?

[plays out-of-tune key]

Finally, we get to meet.

I've been wanting to sit down

and have a little chat with you

for a quite a while now,

but your media outlets don't seem

to be so interested in my services.

-Right.

-[distant g*nshots]

That's because we have experience

with handling extortionists.

-We expose them.

-[chuckles]

I don't think that you really understand

what's happening here.

I understand you got into my house.

[distant g*nsh*t]

You assaulted someone

who is very dear to me,

and now you have in your possession

an interview you can't even publish.

-Well, not the whole thing, no.

-[distant g*nsh*t]

But some segments are

actually quite juicy.

Like the one part in particular,

where you talk about buying subscribers

for your newspaper.

I'd guess somebody'd pay me

good money for that.

-[dog barking]

-[distant g*nshots]

Is that what you want outta this?

Just money?

It is gonna cost you money,

but I want a lot more than that.

-[distant g*nshots]

-Yeah.

[León] Do you believe them?

It's like I'm being forced to see

everything from their perspective here,

but it just pisses me off.

I feel like a fool

if I just go along with it.

-[power tools whirring]

-[men chatting]

I would tell them to f*ck off.

What are they doing?

Changing the alarm.

-We had a break-in.

-No way.

Were you guys here?

No, just Mirella. It was awful.

They beat her, poor thing.

-[León] f*ck.

-[Lara] I know.

I never think this stuff happens in Spain.

But Houston… pff. Sure does.

Come on. You weren't exactly in the hood.

Uh, no, but my high school

had some freaks. Trust me.

-Your high school?

-[laughs]

I'm serious.

So yeah, we had

a private hospital for my dad

but a public high school for me

so I could build character.

So don't act like you're

some kind of hoodlum.

They would eat you alive.

All right. Whatever you say.

-Mm-hmm.

-Mm-hmm.

["Agua Santa" by Bobui playing]

[lyrics in Spanish]

Bought it at Walmart.

No documents or anything.

Americans are crazy.

Ju… just… don't point at my face.

It's not loaded.

[laughs]

So how'd you get it over here?

In pieces, in a few different bags.

-Really in pieces?

-Mm-hmm.

And freaking out all the time

about being caught.

But, man, sh**ting is so fun.

You wanna hold it?

["Agua Santa" continues"]

Does it scare you?

[Lara inhales, exhales]

-You're crazy! Oh my God.

-[laughing]

[song stops]

[distant chatter]

[distant g*nshots]

These are all just fabrications.

Conspiracy theories.

That's all they are. [sighs]

With no evidence.

[Vargas] Until it appears in your paper.

No one in Spain can survive

a front page of El Báltico.

Wait, you think that I'm gonna let you use

my own newspaper for your dirty tricks?

Come on, please. Take it easy.

We can figure out another way.

We've always got options, like…

something a little more ethical.

Although they all do end up with you,

or one of your children, going to jail.

[door opens]

[voices chattering in the next room]

You can't even be on time today?

[distant g*nshots]

And who the hell's this?

[exhales] I wanted to have him here today.

I didn't wanna have to explain

all over again

the consequences of what you've done.

I almost believed you, Manuel.

Had me hooked for a second.

Yeah, I have some friends

in the police, too,

and they're not all right-wingers either.

There's even a few of them

who've got grandfathers buried in a ditch.

Can you imagine that, Manuel?

Years of suffering and dealing

with bureaucratic red tape

to get the remains

of one of your loved ones returned to you.

[tense music playing]

I've got a dossier

with just about everything,

including statements,

as well as evidence on your house.

You'll both be famous.

[sets glass down]

Is that all you've got on this?

That I covered up a mass grave?

I've done far worse.

Yeah, but they haven't been published

in my paper.

You don't have the ba*ls

to publish any of those things.

Are you actually willing

to risk it and find out?

I sure am.

I look forward to it.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[exhales] Do it and you'll be smearing

Guadalupe as well. You know?

You really think I care about that?

After the interview, all that I've done?

I wouldn't think twice about it.

Even if my daughter's career

is the price to pay for taking you down.

[exhales deeply]

[sighs] I'm honored, thank you,

Mr. Minister, for those words.

And especially for all of your support.

I would also like to give a very big

thank you to the president for this--

-Relax.

-[sighs]

You've got this.

Really, you're fine. Sounds perfect.

Nonetheless, and this may be

a little sort of inappropriate,

but so… can we maybe talk a bit

about… what you're wearing?

Look, I think the inauguration

is a really wonderful opportunity

to freshen up your look

and… benefit your public perception.

Well, actually, I, um…

I think my look is perfectly suited,

in fact, to our own party line.

I feel like I portray a certain austerity,

and functionality.

[chuckles] God. Yep, you sure do.

That's why I think you could go, mm…

a little more, uh… lively

and less… Soviet.

You used to at least show some cleavage

and… your shoulders.

I think what is most wanted

at the end of the day,

is that we serve people first.

-Yeah.

-Not to look pretty, or interesting.

[Spanish rap music playing]

Uh, I mean…

look, whatever, I get the concept here,

but I just… I don't know.

I just don't see it.

Yeah, but that's exactly

the point of it, Guadalupe.

You get dressed

like you're some kind of dictator.

I will say

that they're impressive, really.

They're beautiful dresses,

but… how am I supposed to wear

a 4,000-euro dress to a conference

on minimum wage, Yolanda?

Well, the reason they're so expensive

is because the ones making these dresses

are paid well. Here. This is the one.

They're not exploiting

any poor kids in India. Feel better?

Uh, yeah.

Besides, you're just borrowing them.

You're not paying a penny, all right?

That's even worse. [scoffs]

[Yolanda] These ones.

Yeah, that's right. Those are

all the messages sent between us.

I may have left out,

mm, one or two photos.

Uh, they were somewhat… somewhat graphic.

I don't know what to say, Celia.

Don't freak me out, please.

Just handle it. You're my lawyer. Come on.

Oh, I love the look of this, girl.

You got model t*ts here.

Oh my. You look like Kate Moss.

And that butt of yours…

-Oh! Was that really…

-Hold on. I think I got something.

And he's g*y, right? Do we know?

Hard to say.

Honey, I might just accept the compliment.

Is that important?

He was all over my t*ts and a*s.

Is he harassing you, Guadalupe?

Because if the guy touches your a*s

and t*ts a bit, that's harassment, right?

I think we're being a bit, mm… reactive?

-You all right? Is something wrong?

-I've had a bad day, hmm?

But I'm here to help figure out

what you're gonna wear,

so gimme a little break, all right?

Hey! Relax, all right?

Because I'm worked up myself.

Well, so am I!

-Okay, fine.

-Fine.

Oh my God, I love it!

It's like it's biker-chick style,

but it's also a little bit dominatrix.

What do you think?

I don't see it 'cause I have

an official event and can't wear this.

Exactly. That's it.

You're going be a minister, right?

You gotta go make waves and make the guys

wanna c*m, like, all over your t*tties.

[car horn honks]

Basilio recommended it.

[woman] Basilio? From the guidebooks?

Never fails.

[commentator on TV] Good movement

from Dani Olmos.

Dani's looking for Morata,

but it's Lamine now.

Lamine comes through in the middle.

Lamine shoots!

[all cheering] Goal!

Yeah! [laughing]

We're here. They better have good food.

WEDDED GUY, LIMP SUPPLY

Mm.

-It's good, actually.

-Uh-huh.

[chuckles] Wanna try it?

So tell me, did you ever bring

Beatriz from accounting here?

Oh yeah. Of course.

It's my secret weapon.

The more feminist the girl I'm seducing,

the sooner I take her here.

Mm. You wanna seduce me?

[Andrés chuckles]

It might be fun to spend the night here.

Oh no. Right.

You never stayed in a hostel.

No, and I've never ridden the subway.

-Mm.

-And I haven't ever even seen anyone poor.

-[woman laughs]

-So what are they like? [laughs]

[tender music playing]

[both chuckle]

You wanna stay for a while? Or…

go to your room for a bit?

No.

I'm gonna go.

What about tomorrow?

Nothing tomorrow.

Everything's cool,

but you're still in love with your ex

and clearly wanna get back with her.

Is that right?

-Is it that obvious?

-It's very obvious.

[laughs softly] And that's fine with me.

It's actually nice.

But if you were gonna screw

someone from work,

it was gonna be me

and not that girl from accounting.

Could gimme that at least.

[Andrés chuckles]

-[door opens]

-[sighs]

[door closes]

[exhales] Uh…

[man over loudspeaker]

Ladies and gentlemen, gather round!

Listen up, folks! I buy all your silver!

I buy silver, bronze, copper,

aluminum, every iron! Yes, iron!

-[knocking at door]

-All great prices!

-[phone ringing]

-It's her.

[sighs] At my paper,

we had three different reporters

that came in

with the exact same thing this morning.

Something about a video of yours

which shows how you took

your own newspaper and your children

and threw 'em under the bus.

So are you gonna publish it?

Ah.

-Curious what you would do.

-I would wait.

The source coming up with that may

soon turn out to be extremely unreliable,

and it might end up tarnishing

El Globo's image,

if it turns out you encouraged

them to publish.

So it would be for my own benefit,

not so much yours.

No, that's valid.

I'm asking you for a favor.

They way I did, when there was

a certain video of yours floating around,

of the sexual nature.

And I chose to protect your private life.

[sighs]

Don't be…

[León] What?

[Lara] A coward.

-[León] A coward, me? Pff!

-Then do it.

Gimme that thing.

I'll show you how to sh**t.

[music fades]

[bottles clank]

[tense music playing]

Nice and easy.

-Like this?

-That's perfect.

If you wanna fall backwards

with the recoil

and sh**t yourself in the foot.

Okay, smart-a*s, get over here.

Show me how, but do it all sexy.

Come on.

Don't you ever watch movies? [laughs]

You wanna stand like this.

Spread your legs a little.

What are you doing?

Uh…

It was Yolanda's idea.

-What was? Touching my d*ck like that?

-[laughs]

-Sorry.

-Jesus. [laughs]

Okay.

I don't know, man. I don't know.

What?

Well, I don't know

if you're, um, hitting on me,

or if I'm just who you tell

the guys you get with.

Also I'm confused

about this whole Luis thing.

And?

And sh**ting

always makes me a little horny.

Yeah, well, me too.

Guadalupe.

I was calling to see if you were planning

on attending the inauguration.

Listen, I'll try to,

but… today, plans could end up

getting switched around a little.

Really? Okay. Like what?

[sighs]

Dad?

Hey. Dad, you there?

You okay? Everything fine?

Uh… Yeah, I'm sorry, honey.

Um… uh, honey, even if I don't make it,

I do care about you, as always.

Okay.

Dad, I've been wondering…

Yeah?

Um, do you think…

do you think I'm gonna do well

and that I deserve it?

I think you'll do well in some areas,

but I think you'll do poorly in others,

the same way everybody does.

But I don't think that matters

if you're focused on public service,

have ideals, and aren't afraid

to adapt when you need to do that.

Not expecting much then. [chuckles]

Nothing you haven't already proven.

Thank you.

That's the officer who stabbed you?

Commissioner Vargas?

He was harassing me for months,

trying to shut me up

and not to squeal on Núñez Navarro.

And when he finally saw

it wasn't working, he…

he began to get much more… aggressive.

A commissioner doing this?

I don't know,

but… I don't think that was the first time

he'd done it to someone.

So you knew García-Alix too?

[chuckles]

Everyone loves to act like

back then it was this great scene,

but it was only three bars

and always the same people.

[man laughs] You were so beautiful.

You're still beautiful, of course,

but I mean, i… i… imposing.

[Lola] Look at this.

He was an amazing artist,

and really loved me.

Those were some crazy years.

But truly amazing times as well.

-[breathes deeply]

-[man] Are you sure you wanna sell it?

-[woman] Jon, honey, could you come here?

-[Jon laughs]

We do appreciate you trusting us with it.

But I gotta go, or my boss'll k*ll me.

-[woman] Jon!

-Thank you.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music playing over speakers]

[Vargas laughs] It's just so unbelievable.

Four little daddy's boys,

playing at being modern…

And look what it costs now.

I now have… I have the interview.

It's worse than I thought.

[laughs] It's a pain in the a*s.

He just goes on and on and on,

and on some more.

And the first thing you did was

to offer it around to some reporters.

No, no, no. All I did about it

was make some calls.

Just to get Federico nervous.

And what if he won't comply?

How will you respond if he doesn't?

This was all about protecting my kids.

Precisely.

So it's better if you talk to him.

And spare us all the headache.

[exhales sharply]

I asked you for something very specific.

You could've done it

like a professional, but no.

You just had to show off, didn't you?

-[chuckles]

-And now you're worried.

You know Federico can take away

what you value most if he wants.

-And what would that even be.

-Your anonymity.

[dramatic music continues]

No one's had the ba*ls to take you on yet,

but after the actual battle begins,

no one's coming to help you.

And you? Who's coming to help you?

[sighs]

One of your h*m*,

artsy-fartsy, liberal friends of yours?

No.

You? You need me to do the dirty work.

I'd say it's time that you figure out

that sometimes it's better to pay up

and keep your damn mouth shut.

[dramatic music continues]

[lyrics in Spanish]

[music intensifies]

[music ends]

-[Lara] You didn't end up sh**ting.

-[León laughs softly]

Well, I got a little bit distracted.

I assume you're not g*y, then.

Well, I've sucked a few dicks before.

[both laugh]

-I don't doubt it.

-Yeah.

Are you hungry?

Why?

Thought you might wanna get some food.

Okay.

You know what we could do?

Surprise me.

You could film me with the g*n, all like,

"So, Luis?"

"You thought I'd forgive you, huh?

No way. I'm gonna k*ll you."

-[both laugh]

-[siren wails]

f*ck.

[tense music playing]

Put your hands where I can see them!

Get your f*cking hands up! Don't move!

[siren wailing]

-Freeze!

-[radio beeping]

[officer] We have a 10-31.

We've got two suspects, both detained.

What's going on?

We got a report from some hikers

who heard g*nshots.

I thought it would be poachers,

but this is way better.

[radio beeps]

-Hey. Come in.

-Hello.

[Yolanda clears throat]

You all right?

Mm.

[door closes]

Uh… Didn't know

it was a threesome today. [chuckles]

Luis, this is Celia, my lawyer.

She's one of my family's lawyers.

-[Celia] Have a seat.

-What is this?

Mrs. Seligman felt more comfortable

having me present.

She apologizes if she led you to believe

that your professional relationship

had to be more of an intimate nature.

Um… Yolanda?

Mrs. Seligman is prepared to offer you

what we think is generous compensation

for any psychological damages,

emotional damages,

or losses this situation

may have caused you.

In exchange,

we have a confidentiality agreement

we would like you to sign,

whereby, if you take the deal,

you won't be able to disclose anything

about it or circumstances surrounding it.

The… the figure is, uh, negotiable

if you feel it should be more.

[breathes deeply]

Uh, wait. Hold on. Uh…

Oh man.

Um, Yolanda,

I said all those things to Lara because…

sh*t, when I was with her,

I couldn't bring myself to tell her

that I fell for someone else.

-Do you think we could talk in private?

-No. No.

-This is pretty upsetting.

-No, no.

I really think this is the best way

to handle this right now.

I'll say it

in front of your lawyer then. [sighs]

Let's see. Obviously, I know

I'm your sister's boyfriend,

and you just wanted

to spice up your married life.

But listen,

I'm not some dude who gets a thrill

outta two women at the same time, okay?

I'm not that modern.

That should be clear to see

as I don't get any of this.

What I mean to say is

I'm sorry about the way

I handled things with Lara, all right?

I was a dumbass. I was afraid. I admit it.

But no one forced me

to get involved here. Let that be clear.

I got into it because I wanted to,

from the start.

I did it 'cause we have a connection.

We understand each other.

And this is special isn't it?

We like being together,

and plus, the sex is f*cking incredible--

Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda.

As your legal adviser, I would say

that it's in your best interest here

not be irrational. Take it easy.

Just listen.

If you don't trust me, I totally get it.

But if you want this over, tell me now.

You don't have to give me money.

I don't… [laughs]

I don't need money from you.

I wanna be with you.

-I just… [exhales]

-[Celia clears throat pointedly]

-[Yolanda clears throat]

-[door opens]

You're my lawyer, not my therapist.

Don't judge me, okay?

-[mysterious music playing]

-[door closes]

[sighs]

[mysterious music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[radio beeps]

[officer] Okay, make it quick.

Only two minutes, okay?

No longer than that.

[radio beeps]

León.

[voice breaking] I k*lled two women.

And my lawyer's asking

for involuntary manslaughter.

[distant siren wailing]

But I started the fire.

Because I thought no one was there.

But the cleaners were there.

And when I heard the screaming,

I tried helping them get outta there.

[León crying]

But I'm not a m*rder*r. I'm not.

You gotta understand.

[sobbing]

[distant traffic noise]

I was just a f*cking kid,

and I didn't know… what I was doing.

I was so angry,

so… I wanted to get revenge

by burning offices.

Revenge on who?

On your father.

[woman] In accordance with the provisions

of articles 62 and 56,

I hereby appoint

as Minister for Consumer Affairs

Mrs. Guadalupe Seligman Nuero,

presented in Madrid…

From here on, it's no use blaming

the government, you know?

Now it's you who stops the b*ll*ts.

…and the President of Spain,

Gonzalo Sánchez Paez.

[Gabriel] So this is farewell,

from this role at least.

I shall try to be brief.

Today is the minister's day.

It's especially gratifying for me

that my successor is

the first woman to occupy this ministry.

One more demonstration

of this government's commitment

to feminism.

He sent me messages

from seven different numbers,

always doing the same thing.

First he'd backtrack

from the inappropriate tone

that he had had

in the messages he sent earlier.

He'd put pressure on me, little by little,

with wanting to see me again,

that… that in person,

we'd get along much better.

Then came all the insults,

like slob, and frigid,

and c*ck, dried up.

And then… eventually came…

came all the death threats.

El Globo knew this and didn't print it?

-[Pinos] Mm… they weren't allowed to.

-[camera clicking]

And those that could print it

didn't want to.

-[gasps]

-[camera clicks]

This is disgusting.

[dogs barking]

[somber music playing]

[Gabriel on TV] This has been

the easiest decision of my career,

and the best for the ongoing good

of this government.

The most progressive… of this democracy.

I cannot think of a better candidate.

I'm sure that everything we've built

is in good hands.

God damn it. f*ck me.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Help! Help! Someone help me! No!

[somber music continues]

[audience applauding]

SPANISH GOVERNMEN

MINISTRY OF SOCIAL RIGHTS,

CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AGENDA 2030

Thank you very much, Minister,

for your kind words.

And thank you so much for your support.

It's been a long and, at times,

a very difficult road to get here.

But despite the blows we've endured,

and the setbacks we've faced,

our convictions remain intact.

And we'll keep on fighting,

thanks to the generous support

we've received

from our fellow party members. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

[somber music continues]

But above all, I would like to thank

every single person who has supported me

all along my journey to get here.

Compliments from your friend, Vargas.

[man] Snitch.

[gurgling, gasping]

Thank you also for awakening

my political conscience deep down inside.

For teaching me to have a desire

and compassion for public service.

[music stops]

[Guadalupe] And to try

to be worthy of certain ideals.

But above all,

thank you for teaching me to learn…

-Son of a b*tch.

-[line ringing]

[applause on TV]

[Vargas] Federico!

-Okay. You win, Vargas.

-[Vargas laughs] As always.

[Guadalupe] I hope

that I can measure up to them

and prove to be worthy

of this enormous challenge.

[woman] Mrs. Seligman, a photo, please!

[man] Over here, Minister!

Please! This way!

[woman] Mrs. Seligman!

-And they say I got all the handouts.

-[man 2] Look this way.

Me, who single-handedly rescued

a TV channel that no one was watching.

But they sure did decide

to move heaven and earth

to make the little princess

into a minister.

[reporters clamoring]

Come on. Please.

Just look, they offered the job

to half the city first. Jeez.

Come on, they even offered it to you.

It's only 'cause we don't love you.

[both laugh]

Honey, just be happy.

It's your sister's big day.

-Oh, of course, I am.

-Yeah, okay good.

Yep. Super. Excited about it.

[woman] In the middle, please.

[man 3] Could you look this way, Minister?

[applause echoing]

[applause fades]

[indistinct chatter]

[Vargas] My congratulations to Guadalupe!

[tense music playing]

[Federico] What are you doing here?

Did you come here to gloat?

Do you think that I'm an idiot?

Are you trying to buy time

or did you think I wouldn't find out?

Listen, I know you're investigating

this thing on Dr. Pinos.

What's that? Wha… what doctor?

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Vargas] Right.

I don't know who that is.

I don't know about this story.

Yeah, well I don't give a God damn.

If you print anything about this,

you just wait.

I will destroy you.

Thanks for everything.

[tense music continues]

Don't worry, all right?

We're leading with this tomorrow.

We'll wait and see what your boss says.

Yeah, well, I'm the editor.

There's always a bigger boss.

[phone buzzing]

INCOMING CALL

DAD

Andrés!

What the f*ck does he think he's doing?

A plot that demonstrates

that tools of the state

were placed in the hands

of a man with power,

with the ultimate aim of… of…

Give me another way

of saying "f*ck over a woman."

[woman] Uh, crush, squash,

silence, slander, smear.

-[Andrés] Silence.

-[woman] Silence works.

-Yes. This is gonna be huge.

-[chuckles]

-[keys tapping]

-[phone buzzing]

INCOMING CALL

DAD

[sighs]

Go faster, Julio.

[engine revving]

[music intensifies]

[Andrés] Let Berta check it to see

if we've missed anything, then publish it.

-[woman] Yeah.

-[Federico] It can't be that hard.

I need you to remove

Andrés's publishing privileges

so that he can't upload anything straight

onto the Internet. Come on, do it.

But… but that requires special permission.

And, sir, you're not even

on the payroll right now.

Andrés!

Go, hurry. Publish it.

-Right now?

-Yes! Publish it!

-But Andrés!

-Come on!

-Blanca, get outta the way. Let me see it.

-Federico.

-Blanca, please.

-[sighs]

I don't know who tipped you off

or why you're here,

but you don't run this newspaper.

You're not chairman. You don't decide

what gets published and doesn't.

We will see about that.

-Did you verify everything here?

-What do you think?

Vargas stabbed her?

In her car? With her son in the back seat?

Is he an animal?

He's one of the worst kinds.

He's got some powerful friends as well,

but you already know that, don't you?

[tense music playing]

They say in Spain, no one can survive

a front page of El Báltico.

You gotta make sure this gets

all the coverage it deserves.

Get reactions.

I want you to get every single politician

to go on record

with their comments on this.

Get absolutely everyone talking.

[Andrés] Come on.

[Blanca] Guys! Guys, come over here.

We have a scoop.

-[Andrés] Everyone inside.

-[Blanca] Rocío, Daniel, you too.

[Guadalupe on TV] To have a desire

and compassion for public service

and to try to be worthy of certain ideals.

But above all,

thank you for teaching me to learn

and to make things right.
