Rotten Legacy (Legado)

Excuse me!

Hey! Excuse me! Could you keep it down?

You've launched some very convincing accusations so far

against your children.

They're not accusations.

It's the reality of what they've done.

But I find it strange that, in agreeing to do this interview,

you made sure to include a clause reserving the right

to never publish it.

Yeah. I know it's a contradiction. That's true.

But I think I have the right to do so because… well, because I'm a father.

And being a father doesn't ever come with its own set of directions.

You wanna let your children take flight,

and at the same time stop them from making mistakes.

You want them to be good people,

but you don't want them to get walked all over either.

Damn it, Dad. This is gonna destroy us.

I don't get why you didn't tell us

the interview had been stolen. I mean, we could've…

What? What could you have done? Flee the country?

No. Well, we could've. Yeah.

At least, we could've been a little more prepared, you know?

Yeah. If I'd known, I don't think I would've told that story about Manuel.

Oh, so the problem with lying as a minister is in the timing?

Mm. So then what? Do I resign? Give in?

I'm supposed to roll over for this thing that wasn't even my fault?

That's not really important anymore. What we do now is what matters.

Because this Vargas guy could put out another piece of the interview

whenever he wants, right?

Listen, I know I don't have the right to be saying this, but you gotta trust me.

No more of that interview will be released.

I'm your father.

-Won't happen on my watch. -Lovely to hear.

Very, very lovely indeed.

The problem is that Vargas hates us. You got the man put in jail.

He's got nothing left to lose.

So your plan's to make him stay quiet, but, Jesus Christ, how?

Whatever it takes, I'll do.

I mean, I wanna trust you right now, okay? I really do.

But it's difficult.

-We're taking a big risk. -Look at Andrés.

And yes, you wanna punish them and protect them

at the same time.

Because nothing hurts as much… as one of your kids suffering.

ROTTEN LEGACY

I'd love to sit here and just say that my father's slandering my name

'cause he can't accept the fact that he's done running El Báltico.

But the reality is… that it's all true.

It's true, what he says in the interview.

I just hadn't expected it to be so easy to hide it all from you.

And you'll have to deal with the heat from it all.

Because Aguirre isn't here anymore

and the funders aren't gonna want scandals.

So, I would say, at this point, you have two options.

One is to accuse me and then align with my father at the shareholders' meeting.

Excuse me, uh… you know you could go to prison 'cause of this, don't you?

Oh yeah. Yeah. Of course.

But I'm also aware that your credibility as managers… would be on the line.

Because no one… no one wants to entrust their money

to guys like you who can be fooled by a humble newspaper editor.

-Hmm. -

So, at this point, I think that you'd be more interested in the second option.

Which is to support me.

Hmm?

Maintain the story that my dad's some crazy old man

who can't handle stepping aside.

And then you sue him.

It's ultimately your call.

So I'll be in the newsroom… brainstorming how to approach this issue.

- Andrés, what's going on? - Give us something.

Anything.

Andrés, they won't stop calling, asking for statements.

- At least give a statement. - Andrés.

Andrés, we may be the only ones not giving this story front-page coverage.

- What's gonna happen to the paper? - What's happening with Legacy?

- What do we say to subscribers? - Exactly.

- God, this is bad. -Let's meet in my office.

- Now we're gonna lose our jobs. - Let's see what happens.

Andrés, what's gonna happen? Are we in danger here?

We'll be okay.

-It's huge. Social media loves you. -

Right now, you could ask someone to light themselves on fire like a Buddhist monk

in front of a betting shop, and I'm convinced they'd do it.

But hold on, this is my favorite part. Look at this.

These are your approval ratings among opposition voters.

Even the church ladies wanna take you home and make you soup.

Now tell me the bad news. Go ahead.

It's like, I'm sure half of Twitter's on my case right now about my dad's video.

That I'm just doing it all as a distraction.

-That I have no credibility, right? -Mm. Well, yeah, maybe a few.

Just trolls though. It's normal.

I think for most people, they're like, "Ah, poor thing. What a family from hell."

"Her father and brother fighting over the company. Her gambling husband."

-You have to use the traction. -I'm gonna let you go now.

I'm here at the house, and I wanna spend time with my girls, okay?

Okay. I'll see you.

-Hi, Ester. -Good afternoon.

Looks pretty good. Chocolate.

Hello.

Hey.

-How was your day? - Bad.

Bad?

-Don't want your snack? It's chocolate. - No, I don't feel like it.

Is there something wrong, Paloma, honey?

Hey, did something happen at school you don't wanna talk about, sweetheart?

Well, some older kids did tease us saying Daddy has a problem with gambling

and that you're rich and don't wanna give him any more money.

I've told them, I don't like them talking about money.

Mom, uh, maybe now's not a great time for that.

And it's not true. I'm not rich.

Everybody says it. "She's rich."

"She dresses like a hippie, but she's rich."

Really? Who does? Who says those things?

Uh, I was listening, and I heard my teacher talking,

saying it to my English teacher.

You don't believe what some gossipy teachers say

over your own mother.

Don't listen to 'em, honey.

See, the thing is, it's common to make up things to criticize others,

especially politicians.

-And especially if they're women. -But what if they're girls?

No, no. Not girls. No.

Look girls, I'm gonna try to help Daddy.

I'm gonna do everything that I possibly can, okay? I promise.

All right, then you should let us live with Daddy.

Lara, come with me. It'll be much quieter over here.

We can't be the only ones not publishing something.

I get it.

And I'd love to be able to say it won't affect you.

But honestly, I don't really know.

So we're gonna do our absolute best to publish this paper.

It's the only thing we can do.

That I can do, anyway.

- Shit, we're risking so much. - So, what do we say to subscribers?

Andrés, you have to face the music.

Will there be layoffs or not?

BRUNO ESCUDERO DIES IN AFGHANISTAN

Here you go. This is everything we've got from that time period.

I appreciate it.

Poor Bruno. He was so young.

FULL BRIGADE / BATTALION 42

- Mm. So does it have potential? - Mm, very promising.

-Really? -Sure, sure.

- - Mm.

Well, stop.

What is going on here?

Mm… You're an architect, aren't you?

Well, if you do a good job renovating, it'll probably sell for more.

But this situation… is, uh, a bit weird.

It's weird how?

Yeah, well, it looks like you're buying this apartment really… to give me work.

No. No, no, no, no. I can explain it.

Um, so, I'm buying this place here because, come on, it's a great investment.

But I got a feeling that, well… that you're doing this

to sort of compensate me somehow.

'Cause ever since we watched your husband's video,

you've uh… you've been off. It's a little weird.

-Mm, no I haven't. -Yeah, you're being weird--

No, I don't think I am.

You've been responding to my texts with just one word.

Well, maybe you haven't read a newspaper because people your age don't read.

But let's see.

Not sure if you're aware of all the issues happening with my family right now.

I got about a thousand fires to put out, so I'm sorry for not, uh…

not being in the mood to send you photos of my tits all the time.

Yeah, I get that.

I mean, it sucks, but I get it.

I just wanna say that,

I think right now, your husband offers you security.

You don't wanna leave him, do you?

And that's why you went out and bought this big old apartment out of the blue.

To get me out of the way, right?

And so you feel less guilty because…

you know that I'm absolutely crazy about you.

Uh… mm, I gotta go, Luis.

-Don't go. -Yeah.

-Don't go. -Yeah. Hmm.

Charly.

What's up, man?

Hey, you won't believe this amazing apartment

I just got my hands on.

Lara?

-Lara Seligman? - Yes.

Hi. I'm León's father. I was told I could find you here.

I know you've seen him.

Yeah.

I don't know if you've noticed, but, I mean, my son's not well.

That's not just me saying it. The professionals are saying it.

He was well enough for school though.

That's because they thought he was better,

but… seems like he still has the same paranoia.

Or do you think it's a coincidence he's befriended a Seligman?

He isn't even in your class.

-Look. -

I don't want anything like what happened before to happen again.
