Rotten Legacy (Legado)

Democracy was poorly constructed in this country.

The giving in and always looking the other way

and just going along with things that should've been rejected.

Convincing ourselves it was, um, for the common good,

but it was a mistake.

-Get comfortable. It's a long interview. - …was exploited by many.

The same corrupt oligarchs that are still around from the days of Franco

have just kept stealing. They know that nobody's coming after them.

And then later, even more lowlifes joined the party;

criminals of every kind imaginable.

They had right-wingers, left-wingers,

business owners, politicians.

And now they…

they seem to have my own kids.

What's he saying?

My own children are as rotten as the rest of them.

And if I'm gonna be honest with you here, then I must also include them.

I would be a hypocrite if I pretended that I myself am free from sin.

An old friend of mine recently made it very clear that

if my children have come to this,

it's because I led them here.

They've seen firsthand what their father's capable of.

A guy who, himself, never stops blabbering on about truth…

but who has been lying for years.

ROTTEN LEGACY

Are you sure about all of this?

If you're worried, I did sign an agreement allowing me to back out.

When are you gonna decide?

'Cause I don't wanna find out after you're dead.

The inheritance is enough of a headache without having to deal with your kids.

Don't you worry. I'll handle that.

Wait, Dad.

It's a joke, right? Or have you gone completely insane?

Can we stop this? I mean, there's still time, isn't there?

Everyone, calm down, all right?

If you wanted our attention, you've got it.

Stop treating him like a child. He's carelessly throwing us to the lions.

No, Andrés, he's doing this just to get our attention.

-Tell them you won't be broadcasting it. - I wish I could.

But the truth is, ever since I've come home,

all you've done is give me reasons to broadcast it.

But you weren't even here. You didn't see what we were going through.

I have also made excuses for my actions.

I've also told myself it was worth it for the greater good.

But seeing it in my children, I'm beginning to realize

that the time comes when there's simply no more greater good.

So you gotta go blow everything up,

and fuck anybody who gets burned as well.

-Show me I'm wrong about it all. -

We've got some time.

Yeah, prove it to me. Show me you can do better.

This interview doesn't ever have to see the light of day.

It does not if only we can begin doing things differently.

-Your way. -No.

Oh no, I'm not saying my way. My way doesn't work. Neither does yours.

You all had an opportunity, but you wasted it.

You have to change.

Really? How then?

Manuel doesn't have any place in this family.

Get a divorce.

What?

Or get out of politics.

I won't involve myself in your feelings,

but he can't just keep on freeloading off of you.

Uh, sorry to butt in,

but you know you can't force Lupe into doing that.

Don't you worry.

I won't be asking too much of you, sweetheart.

- Hmm. -You are who you are.

So leave the board of trustees,

and continue with your soap operas and room service for one.

That's all you need to do.

All right, man. Let's hear it.

I know you've wanted to say it since you got here.

You need to resign, Andrés.

I don't recognize you.

Not you or the paper.

I don't see it happening.

You destroying what took you so long to create.

If this is how you're gonna manage everything when I'm gone,

I'd prefer to destroy it rather than leave it to you.

Fine. Fine.

Whatever. It's fine.

If that's what he wants, he'll get it.

How do we get him removed?

Are you serious?

No, I'm joking, like the old man.

If we wanna stop this, we gotta play as dirty as he does.

So we have to prove that he wasn't doing well

when he did that interview, and that none of what he said is reliable.

But wait, wait. He's turning 70, but he's still fine mentally.

Hang on a minute because

he could be affected by the cancer more so than we first thought, right?

That's what I'm saying. That's the angle.

That he's not completely of sound mind.

We just need to certify it with a real doctor.

Dad'll ask for a second opinion.

You'll need a judge willing to corroborate.

Well, your husband knows a few.

- - All very honorable.

Just those who don't like, uh, conferences, or free dinners,

or comps at the strip club.

Souls beyond reproach.

So how does it happen? Uh, we have a trial.

-Say you win, then what? -What?

What happens to all of us? What happens to the family?

I mean, he can blackmail us if he wants to,

but we have all the responsibility not to go too far

and break up the whole family? Please!

But don't worry. I'll make it work, and then I'll fill you both in.

It's really an important aspect, more than its content, right?

Like I was saying, as an example, that the reading, uh,

is a great illustration of this concept.

All right, now, I would like to introduce a project

that we'll be doing in the class in pairs.

My God, this professor won't shut up.

Well, you can skip and go to the cafeteria.

-Or be on your phone. - Please let me know, all right?

Yes?

We've got ours. Our topic's gonna be on the social media spectacle phenomenon.

And I'm gonna partner with Lara Seligman, right here.

Very good, that was quick. Well…

-I love your online… persona. - In case you're as quick as them…

I especially really love your bikinis photos, they're amazing.

Are you some kind of a weirdo?

…an election. As you can see, this post looks like…

Don't give me that kind of look.

Don't act like you're surprised or something,

like I'm some kinda pig or whatever. No.

If I were a fat slob, sure, you could think that.

But you know since I'm an attractive guy,

obviously I'm doing it to make you laugh or, uh, to flatter you.

What if you were doing it?

Imagine it was you coming to me telling me that

you got yourself off with my photos.

What would be my reaction?

Tell me.

I'd think, "God, what a strange person."

"All my photos make her hot?"

It's all just food I've eaten.

Do you have a fetish?

So we'll go to your house and work on our assignment.

- -But you'll just wanna cover me in sugar.

- -Or butter, or… crème brûlée,

All right, okay, my God.

-You're pretty funny, it's true. -Really?

Yes, you are. But I… I have a boyfriend.

Well, good for you.

I'm happy for you.

You both can hang out together.

He can make you feel safe from all the creeps who approach you

on the first day of class.

And not 'cause they wanna meet new people. They just want their balls in your mouth.

- - And include the warm feeling.

It feels familiar so you're more likely to…

You know, I don't really mind them wanting me to suck on their balls.

If a guy can put up with me, my crazy ways, and laugh,

then I'm all good.

'Cause I prefer that

over someone who just talks about himself all the freakin' time.

And steamrolls me with his charisma.

Identify the relevant aspect we can discuss…

I may appreciate a new friend who's just like that

So what do you think? Can we start working on this tomorrow?

- - …that we can share with the class.

Lola,

you're a sight for sore eyes, as always.

Stop trying to be charming. It's never worked.

Federico did an interview for Legacy

where he confesses all his sins.

Including Bruno Escudero.

Now you know what I have to do Lola, don't you?

It won't be pretty.

Is it ever?

- Listen. -

You've gotta get to the producers of Legacy.

With everything. Hear me?

I want that interview. Now.

- Good morning. -

Thank you for coming to this press conference,

which was organized at the… at the last minute.

I'm here to announce

I am resigning as director of the Federico Seligman Foundation.

It is a decision that's been…

that's, um, been very difficult for me to come to.

But if I'm being totally honest, I feel the conservatory

deserves to be led by someone better qualified,

and more… more committed than I am.

Does this have anything to do with the work site?

No. Uh…

Uh… It's got absolutely nothing to do with the work site.

I mean, construction's going well.

We've got no major issues there, so, uh… Well, they have experienced a few delays.

-But that's all quite normal, but… - Excuse me!
