Rotten Legacy (Legado)

You're accusing your son of…?

Of using fake subscriber accounts in order to inflate El Báltico's figures

so that the business would look more profitable.

If this is true, that's a very serious crime,

and it could very well put him in jail when this interview comes out.

So why are you revealing all of this?

It's true my son and I have had our differences.

Many of them. We didn't speak for a long time.

But this thing,

for the very first time, has changed the opinion I have of him.

Living with that kind of secret?

Planning, hoping he'd get away with it?

No, it's unacceptable.

ROTTEN LEGACY

- I didn't say that. - I knew you'd say that.

24 HOURS EARLIER

- I had things to do. - So why does that matter?

I am extremely ashamed of you and what you have done.

Your mother and I are both deeply embarrassed by this.

Especially me. I've been here three hours.

A gun? You've gotta be kidding.

You know what could've happened to you?

I thought you had a little more sense than that, Lara.

I'll see what Victor says and see if we can leave.

I'm sorry.

I'm not the one you should be saying that to.

Apologize to your friend.

You've really got him into trouble with your little pistol stunt.

Can you help him?

I tried to get him released with you, but they wouldn't allow it.

They said that he has a previous conviction.

Do you… do you know anything?

Do you? Do you know his family?

No. Why would I?

León Escudero.

I may, yeah.

León Escudero's the younger brother of Bruno Escudero,

a reporter at El Báltico.

He got in big trouble a couple years ago for burning down a few of our offices.

You know why he did it?

Well, his brother was killed while working for us in Afghanistan.

I suppose he thinks it's our fault for making his brother go to war.

What's he want? Did he do anything to you?

Is he obsessed with all that still?

I don't know.

-What? What don't you know? -I don't know. Dad. I'm, uh…

I'm confused. In some ways, I feel like he used me, for sure.

But at the same time, I feel responsible and I should help him out.

Don't you worry, sweetheart.

I'll fix this.

- -

Hey, I have to go back to the newspaper.

-Julio will drop you back at home, okay? -

To the paper?

- -

-That's your priority right now? -Isabel--

Please don't say anything. I don't wanna know.

Go find the juvenile detention prosecutor or whoever.

And make sure that troublemaker is kept inside there

and not let out for a long time.

Very well.

I'm being completely serious.

You won't be in trouble.

Seriously, it was pure coincidence, really.

It was a friend of mine who had some, but I don't… I don't have any.

-You sure? -Yes.

We're just excited and wanted to celebrate tomorrow's front page.

Mm… fine. All right. Yeah.

I do have some.

Well, then you're fired.

-Wait, what? -I'm just messing around.

- -

- Oh my God. You're… funny. -Hmm.

Well, all right. I'll see you guys.

Are you really gonna do cocaine right here in the office?

No, but… I did kind of feel like kissing you.

Right.

I'm just… I'm gonna go.

- -

-How come? -What do you want?

Just fuck every now and then?

I don't know.

There you go.

Just let me know when you do.

- -

Oh God.

The number you have dialed is not available at the moment.

Please again try later.

Oh, sorry.

Hey. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Guadalupe, don't leave yet. Come on, stay.

It's still pretty early. You know? Stay here and tell me…

- For example… -

…uh, where you got… where you got this look, that's so…

So what?

So austere and functional.

-Come on, stay-- -But no. No, I can't.

-I gotta go home. -No. No. No.

-Yes. -No!

I'm drunk. Yep. Yeah, for sure.

- - Mm.

Well, I think, um…

I'm gonna say, overall, my first day as minister,

I did pretty well, so… Yeah, we're good.

Yep. All good.

Okay. Mm.

Sorry.

No.

I thought maybe you'd wanna… cut loose a little,

but… maybe the thing with your ex is too fresh.

Huh?

Hey, don't be mad.

You look gorgeous.

Yes?

Rocío?

Hold on a minute. I'm having a hard time hearing you Rocío.

What was that?

Yeah, I'm here, tell me.

What's that?

Núñez Navarro?

So festive.

Fuck it.

-What a disaster that trip to Paris was. -Uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I kinda I figured it would be.

I mean, the… mm… the traveling,

a great hotel,

all your expenses paid by the paper.

Leave me here with the kids. Yep, what a disaster.

How about next time, you go cover curling in Finland?

You're such a pain!

Oh, hey, good for you on the Núñez Navarro thing.

-Congratulations. -Mm-hmm.

What a pig.

What are you doing? Coke? Really?

Are you serious?

Hey. But… no.

This is not like anything you've ever had in your entire life.

It's… a different league, you know?

It gives you a superclean high, doesn't make you all chatty, no hangover.

Pure magic. Mm-hmm.

Here. I'm telling you.

You're gonna try it, and you're gonna love it.

Awesome stuff, man. What a bombshell about Núñez Navarro and Var…

Uh…

Are you guys doing cocaine?

-N… no. -Uh…

Yes. Yes.

It's… it's… it's the intern's.

You got this from the intern?

Oh, man. Uh, Sandrine, this… this stuff… this stuff is something else.

M… may I?

-Mm. -Uh… and the kids?

The kids.

Uh… and so what's my brother now supposed to do? Cover for a stalker?

No, it's not about that.

All I'm saying is, you've been on TV a lot, smiling at that creep.

-Okay, but… all the more reason. -

We go for the jugular. That's what they'd do.

I don't know if we need a war right now, a government crisis.

What crisis? Rocío, what crisis?

They just gotta break away from Núñez Navarro.

They gotta own what this is.

And they need to say publicly that of course he won't be vice president.

-And if they won't say it, then you will. -Yeah, right.

Okay, call me tomorrow when you're sober.

- Yes, yes, yes. - No way! Don't do it.

-Don't call her. It's a bad idea. -It's bad, but I'm calling.

Of course, we're calling her up right now.

Of course. Give it. Give it! Give me the phone.

Oh, also, you're gonna do it.

You're gonna talk to her, and you're gonna explain things

because she's still convinced that I'm into you.

-Ah. -And I'll be honest with you.
