You all right?
Ah.
- Yeah. - Shall we go on?
Yeah.
Who planned all of this?
Who could hide something so big from the public?
The government?
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.
Yeah.
Once those other things are settled down in here…
Uh, excuse me.
- This'll make you feel better. - Thank you so much.
- How ya feeling now? - More money and I'd be doin' all right.
Not a chance.
That's just your fault for coming over here on your day off.
Mm.
- Don't worry, okay? - Don't worry?
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.
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.
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.
Hey!
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.
You see? Things are so simple sometimes.
A little concrete, and your problems are solved.
Hey. Let's go! Let's go!
Careful! Those solar panels cost a shitload.
Shit. What are these assholes doing?
Excuse me!
What is this? What… what are you guys doing?
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.
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 fuck? 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.
All right, let's tie 'em down now! Let's go! Go, go! Let's go!
The problem is we've let them get away with it.
And we can't allow that.
Our only option is stop these guys.
ROTTEN LEGACY
You're already here?
You've rediscovered your passion for journalism.
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.
- 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
Federico.
- Manuel? - Tell me it's not true.
Please, tell me they didn't steal your interview.
Who told you about that?
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.
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.
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.
All right, Manuel.
So I'm gonna say something right now I never imagined I'd say to you.
Thank you.
And don't worry.
We will respond to this.
It really gets me when people don't say things to my face.
But you could see this coming. Nothing changes. Same old story.
White smoke! Habemus minister, huh?
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.
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.
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
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.
Could you at least put your fucking phone away?
I'm fine with it out. It's someone on Tinder that I like.
Thanks.
Do you have something to say?
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
- Shall I put this on your tab? - Yes.
Hi. Having lunch with my boyfriend, or do you guys just fuck?
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 slut
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?
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 shit.
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…
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.
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?
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.
Sh!
What an asshole.
Good afternoon. I'm very sorry to interrupt.
May we talk for a minute?
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.
That's because we have experience with handling extortionists.
We expose them.
I don't think that you really understand what's happening here.
I understand you got into my house.
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.
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.
Is that what you want outta this? Just money?
It is gonna cost you money,
but I want a lot more than that.
Yeah.
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.
I would tell them to fuck 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.
- Fuckers. - 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?
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.
Bought it at Walmart.
No documents or anything.
Americans are crazy.
Ju… just… don't point at my face.
It's not loaded.
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, shooting is so fun.
You wanna hold it?
Does it scare you?
You're crazy! Oh my God.
These are all just fabrications.
Conspiracy theories. That's all they are.
With no evidence.
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.
You can't even be on time today?
And who the hell's this?
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.
I've got a dossier with just about everything,
including statements, as well as evidence on your house.
You'll both be famous.
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 balls to publish any of those things.
Are you actually willing to risk it and find out?
I sure am.
I look forward to it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 tits 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 gay, right? Do we know?
Hard to say. Honey, I might just accept the compliment.
Is that important? He was all over my tits and ass.
Is he harassing you, Guadalupe?
Because if the guy touches your ass and tits 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 cum, like, all over your titties.
Basilio recommended it.
Basilio? From the guidebooks?
Never fails.
Good movement from Dani Olmos.
Dani's looking for Morata, but it's Lamine now.
Lamine comes through in the middle. Lamine shoots!
Goal!
Yeah!
We're here. They better have good food.
WEDDED GUY, LIMP SUPPLY
Mm.
- It's good, actually. - Uh-huh.
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?
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.
So what are they like?
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.
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.
Uh…
Listen up, folks! I buy all your silver!
I buy silver, bronze, copper, aluminum, every iron! Yes, iron!
All great prices!
It's her.
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.
This is Lara Seligman's voicemail.
EL GLOBO LEÓN ESCUDERO GUILTY OF MURDER
She blocked me.
Shit.
All right, fuck you then.
BROTHER OF JOURNALIST BRUNO ESCUDERO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF TWO GIRLS.
Whoo!
You wanna shoot it?
Don't be…
What?
A coward.
- A coward, me? Pff! - Then do it.
Gimme that thing. I'll show you how to shoot.
Nice and easy.
- Like this? - That's perfect.
If you wanna fall backwards with the recoil
and shoot yourself in the foot.
Okay, smart-ass, get over here. Show me how, but do it all sexy.
Come on. Don't you ever watch movies?
You wanna stand like this.
Spread your legs a little.
What are you doing?
Uh…
It was Yolanda's idea.
What was? Touching my dick like that?
- Sorry. - Jesus.
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 shooting 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?
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.
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?
Everyone loves to act like back then it was this great scene,
but it was only three bars and always the same people.
You were so beautiful.
You're still beautiful, of course, but I mean, i… i… imposing.
Look at this.
He was an amazing artist, and really loved me.
Those were some crazy years.
But truly amazing times as well.
Are you sure you wanna sell it?
Jon, honey, could you come here?
We do appreciate you trusting us with it.
But I gotta go, or my boss'll kill me.
- Jon! - Thank you.
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.
It's a pain in the ass.
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.
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?
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.
No one's had the balls 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?
One of your homo, 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.
You didn't end up shooting.
Well, I got a little bit distracted.
I assume you're not gay, then.
Well, I've sucked a few dicks before.
- 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 gun, all like,
"So, Luis?"
"You thought I'd forgive you, huh? No way. I'm gonna kill you."
Fuck.
Put your hands where I can see them! Get your fucking hands up! Don't move!
Freeze!
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 gunshots.
I thought it would be poachers, but this is way better.
- Hey. Come in. - Hello.
You all right?
Mm.
Uh… Didn't know it was a threesome today.
Luis, this is Celia, my lawyer.
She's one of my family's lawyers.
- 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.
Uh, wait. Hold on. Uh…
Oh man.
Um, Yolanda, I said all those things to Lara because…
shit, 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.
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 fucking 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… I don't need money from you.
I wanna be with you.
I just…
You're my lawyer, not my therapist. Don't judge me, okay?
Okay, make it quick.
Only two minutes, okay? No longer than that.
León.
I killed two women.
And my lawyer's asking for involuntary manslaughter.
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.
But I'm not a murderer. I'm not. You gotta understand.
I was just a fucking 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.
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 bullets.
…and the President of Spain, Gonzalo Sánchez Paez.
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 cocktease, dried up.
And then… eventually came… came all the death threats.
El Globo knew this and didn't print it?
Mm… they weren't allowed to.
And those that could print it didn't want to.
This is disgusting.
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. Fuck me.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Help! Help! Someone help me! No!
SPANISH GOVERNMENT
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.
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.
Snitch.
Thank you also for awakening my political conscience deep down inside.
For teaching me 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…
Son of a bitch.
Federico!
- Okay. You win, Vargas. - As always.
I hope that I can measure up to them
and prove to be worthy of this enormous challenge.
Mrs. Seligman, a photo, please!
Over here, Minister! Please! This way!
Mrs. Seligman!
- And they say I got all the handouts. - 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.
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.
Honey, just be happy. It's your sister's big day.
- Oh, of course, I am. - Yeah, okay good.
Yep. Super. Excited about it.
In the middle, please.
Could you look this way, Minister?
My congratulations to Guadalupe!
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.
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.
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.
INCOMING CALL DAD
Andrés! What the fuck 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 "fuck over a woman."
Uh, crush, squash, silence, slander, smear.
- Silence. - Silence works.
Yes. This is gonna be huge.
INCOMING CALL DAD
Go faster, Julio.
Let Berta check it to see if we've missed anything, then publish it.
- Yeah. - 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.
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?
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.
Come on.
Guys! Guys, come over here. We have a scoop.
- Everyone inside. - Rocío, Daniel, you too.
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.
