Rotten Legacy (Legado)

You continuously use certain euphemisms

like "the future of the group."

But in reality, you need money. Isn't that right?

In these kinds of situations, it's never really about the money.

Once you get past a certain amount, the reality is

it's no longer money that they're concerned with.

The concern for your workforce

and the effort it's going to take you to maintain all of their conditions

is very touching.

But really, Federico…

…just focus on getting us the money and stop looking for a discount

because the answer is… no.

Shall we move on to clause 24?

There's an addendum.

The people who are actually pulling the strings,

they don't care about the millions.

Just an adviser. I'm independent.

Money simply becomes a tool at that point.

It's used to tighten the screws.

The commission alone would've been sufficient, yeah.

Very generous.

But then I began to think, "Wait a minute."

"I might as well come down here,

ask everyone some idiotic questions,

and most of all, see the look on your face every time I vote against you."

What's that worth, Federico?

It's about power, influence…

…showing who is in charge, and who has to obey.

ROTTEN LEGACY

- - What are you doing?

Lara, come on. Come on. Let's go! Fuck!

That son of a bitch was following me, for fuck's sake! I knew he was!

- - I knew it. I knew he was.

Lara! What are you doing? What the fuck are you doing, Lara?

Lara, what are you doing?

Okay, but you could find out something.

I mean, it's not like I'm… I'm talking to a pool cleaner.

You're a minister. You're an editor of a newspaper, huh?

Forensics reports don't just get leaked that easily.

Especially since Vargas is a cop. They're gonna close ranks.

Anything they don't want known, they'll keep from us.

So I just wait, um, arms crossed for these guys to arrest me?

-I'm kinda freaking out. - What do you wanna do?

-Leave the country? -Probably. Um…

I should fucking leave the country.

We need your signature. Have you completely lost your mind?

-You can't be going anywhere! -Then what do I do?

Tell the judge, um, "Hey, sorry about that, Your Honor."

"I got a little high last night and thought it was a joke."

It's a felony, what I did, guys. You know that?

Yeah, it is. It's true. I looked it up. It's considered a felony.

Look, it's… it's classified as conspiracy.

It says, "From the time the person in question conceives of the offense

until its execution,

arising from an agreement between two or more parties

to commit said offense

and continue until the crime is committed."

You just keep googling things because that's very helpful.

-Really. -All right. Wait a minute.

We're out of control. We should all breathe.

'Cause right now, they don't have anything. Okay?

If they do do an autopsy

and they are able to find whoever this guy is and he says he was hired--

-Not likely to happen. -Yeah, he's right. It'd be a stretch.

Plus, they would have to connect it to you somehow.

Then it'd be your word against his, so just…

-What are you doing? -Calm down.

-I should calm down? -Yes, calm down.

-Just breathe in, just… relax. -Mm, relax, right?

Because you're relaxed, I bet, huh?

You know why Lupe is so relaxed?

It's because she has immunity now, doesn't she?

No, a minister doesn't have immunity.

- -You're laughing at me now?

No, I'm not. No, I'm not laughing, Yolanda.

-Yes, you are. -No, I'm not laughing.

-Why're you laughing, idiot? Tell me. -Are you two years old?

-Guada! Hey! Hey! -What's wrong?

Hey!

-Calm down, Guadalupe! -You call me an idiot! You hit me!

No! I didn't hit you!

Do I really have to tell you why it's not a good deal?

If you go to any other bank,

what will they say?

That too much risk is involved.

Too much probability that I default.

That I'm too old.

So now you've come here to talk to me,

hoping I'll chip in because we've got a… working relationship, right?

I'm asking because we know each other.

You're familiar with the… the way I can get things done.

And I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe in it. I'm not crazy.

The group has never failed to turn a profit

when I've been running things.

Listen, this plan is solid.

Federico, if what you really need here is for me to look at it,

fine, I'll look at it.

But you know what the answer is.

Julia.

Another thing is, since you've got a few more ties

to the government than I do,

I want you to talk to them,

and I want you to tell them that they need to give me a little more attention.

The last time you asked us for help, uh, referring to the… What is it? Um…

"The strategic importance of Spain's biggest publisher…"

mm… we weren't too happy with the outcome.

Do you work for the banking lobby now, Federico?

What about you, huh? I thought you already resigned.

From my public duties.

But I still advise my president and my party so we don't get deceived.

There's no part of me thrilled about being here on your side,

but, nonetheless, I’m here.

So… so now, in exchange for you sweetening the mortgage law

that has the bankers so tense, I'd, uh…

I'd like to know what you expect out of it.

We want to break away from our government partner

and go to early elections.

I'll let you explain it to him.

I have some other meetings.

Our current polling suggests to us that we'll do well if…

if we awaken the ghost… of the far right.

You see? If we can muster the tactical vote to stop them.

And most of all, we'd like to place the blame for our failures

on our partners. You know…

…all of our government colleagues have done terrible things,

and we can't govern with them.

We simply can't continue with them around.

What kind of scandal were you thinking?

Well, don't know.

I don't know.

But as an experienced journalist and with the minister's ear…

…I have no doubt you can come up with something.

Can't ya?

- Aren't they our partners? -

So they should show it a little.

I mean, enough half measures. Either they pass the law or retract it.

Well, hey now, hold on. Don't get too carried away.

Twitter is one thing, but politics is another.

Why do I get the feeling you're screwing around with me?

It was you who told me to rewrite the speech

'cause it lacked… What was it?

"It didn't punch hard enough."

-Well, yeah, maybe I did. -

But now what we need to do

is to show a little more tact and flexibility.

'Cause this pact is fragile.

-I'm serious. -

- Hey. -Yes?

Guadalupe, just ignore her.

Her biggest fear now is losing the advantage of your good image--

Look, Juanjo, I'm really sick of this. Sick of being afraid here.

And my law won't be taken down by anybody. It's passing.

I'm not getting pushed around by social-democrat wannabes.

Bravo, Guadalupe!

Bravo!

Look. Being a true liberal,

I may be diametrically opposed to your gambling law,

but as a woman, I do have to admit to you,

I love watching you beat up on those damn casino-whore asshole sellouts

who are actually part of your very own party.

It's so wonderful.

Fine. Well, I'm glad. Now you know where and when to vote.

-Oh, but I'm telling you here. -Ah.

'Cause we're in the bar.

But don't you worry.

When I go in there and take the stand,

I'll rip you wide open.

But with sisterly solidarity.

I'm doing it.

You're doing a super job. Good luck!

Juanjo.

It doesn't matter what she says, I can't stop imagining her

dressed as an SS officer ordering executions.

I feel you.

-But I still wanna fuck her. -

What? Don't give me that look.

I'm talking about a good hate fuck… in high heels and some latex.

- -I wouldn't be able to hold back. Mm!

- - I don't know.

I saw him smash his face in, and… then they ran off.

- - You didn't recognize them at all?

-You haven't seen him in any classes? -No idea.

Or the girl you said that was with him?

That girl's right here.

Okay, so do you mind telling me what has happened here?

My friend has problems. Um… He's paranoid.

He's not able to control it. He must've snapped.

And where is he now, hmm?

For a while, we all believed the official story

on the death of Bruno Escudero.

Is it possible to get everyone out of here and just leave the cameras on?

If you would, please?

Thanks.

You were saying that, in the beginning, everyone believed the official story.

Except Andrés, of course.

He always suspected that something was off.

He kept going, looking for one of the soldiers to interview,
