UNKNOWN CALLER

- Hello? - It's me.

I called you 2 days ago about the Consortium.

If you want to meet, it has to be now.

Now? I can't, I have a... I'm going to a wedding.

- Look out the window. - Hold on a second.

- Yes? - There's a taxi outside your door.

Take it.

- And where...? - He knows where to go.

Come on, dear. Hurry up, we're running late.

- I can't. I have to go. - What do you mean you have to go?

- I really have to go. - Where are you off to now?

- I'm sorry, love. - No.

- Who were you talking to? - With a...

It's work-related.

- I can't go to the wedding alone. - I promise I won't be long.

You go to the church. I'll come as soon as I can.

I love you.

- Listen. All of this is a little... - Go to the family mausoleum area.

- This isn't necessary. - If you want to talk, do what I say.

I've done all you've said and...

Fuck.

Bloody hell!

- I'm here. - Do you see a set of stairs?

I'm at the bottom. Now what?

Go to the viewing point.

Head towards the end.

A week ago I saw a man in front of my daughter's school.

I noticed because a few days earlier

I saw the same bloke in front of my house.

They want me to know they're watching me.

We can fix that, but we need to start at the beginning.

Who are you?

I worked for the Consortium until 2 months ago.

I have recordings, falsified police reports, emails.

You can trace the illegal funding, the bribes.

We need to check if all of this is reliable.

One question.

- Why are you doing this? - Because it's the right thing to do.

They control the healthcare system. They're lining their pockets.

I had a hand in it, and it made me sick.

- I have to see everything you've got. - It's in a safe place.

Look, I'm the judge handling this investigation.

It's safe with me.

When I have guarantees, I'll give you everything.

- I'll speak to the prosecutor... - No, they've got people everywhere.

Judges too.

Prosecutor Torner is completely trustworthy.

If you want a deal, he has to be in on this.

I'm not worried about a deal.

I'm worried about my family.

I want proper protection.

You'll have it.

I'm Román Palacios.

NIGHT AND DAY

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Wasn't this Benet Muntada a champion or something?

As a kid, yes.

He aimed high. He was a Grand Master,

but he got into trouble and ended up in prison.

When he got out, he kept a low profile.

Why was he in prison?

Politics.

He was involved with some kind of anarchist group.

Check.

But honestly, I don't know for sure.

- Have you been playing chess long? - A year and a half.

- May I ask who taught you? - My dad.

But I always beat him now.

Let's see now. You're offering me a nice pawn.

But...

if I take it, you'll take the Rook with your Queen.

If I don't take it, you'd reinforce your central position.

Then if you move your Bishop to G2...

- What's your name? - Lia.

What would you say if I offered a draw?

- I don't know. I have to ask my dad. - No.

No, this is something you must decide yourself.

CITY OF JUSTICE

I haven't closed my investigation because I can't.

But if we shared info, it'd be easier.

- What are you after? - Vallejo, I'm asking you for help.

I don't know why we can't cooperate. Give me the hospital stuff.

It'd fill in the gaps and I could finally close my case.

Right! You've been on it more than...

4 years, I know.

Listen, if you want my help, you've got it.

But right now I can't. Sorry, I can't give it to you.

If all goes well, I'll close the case before the month's out.

What are you saying?

You'll make me look like an idiot.

I said you can count on me for anything,

but what else can I say? I've told you the lot.

If you're about to close the case, then you haven't told me everything.

You're right, not everything.

And I can't.

Not yet.

All right.

But just so you know, you're screwing me over.

I just spoke with Vallejo. He has something.

I don't know what, but he says he'll wrap it up before the month ends.

No, he can't be forced.

I mean, yes. If they kicked him off the case, I'd stay.

Listen, if he closes the case,

I'll have to act, even if it's just for show.

All right, good. We'll talk soon.

How do I look?

Fantastic.

Liar.

I have wrinkles.

- What are you talking about? - Yes, look here.

Let's see.

I'll get my microscope.

Sometimes I ask myself...

what I would do without you.

Tomorrow at 4pm, they're coming to take some publicity shots.

- What are you doing? - Checking if you still like me.

Come on, stop.

Seems like you do.

You want to finish me off?

It's my husband.

Hey, Martí. Oh, getting the exhibition ready.

Now? I wanted to come by before to...

Great. Yes, I know where they are.

I'll go by the house and get them. Half an hour.

- Sorry, I've got to go. - Now?

It seems urgent.

- And what about me? You can't go now. - Think about me.

It has to be something concrete.

Yes. Documentation, new witnesses...

If Vallejo wants to close the case, he has to be very sure.

Sorry, I'm late. I got held up.

Thanks, Joana.

- What were you saying? - Vallejo has something.

It's real.

Is there any way Judge Canals can take it?

If he doesn't drop it, no. No way.

We could try to dismiss him, but we'd have no grounds for it.

Dear God. What is this?

We also have a video.

What? A video?

That's Vallejo!

Do you think we can use this to kick him off the case?

I don't know. I think we can make him look...

- I don't know. I'm not sure. - He was in a judiciary meeting

paid for by the Ministry. Public money.

Every expense tied to a work meeting,

and was paid for from the daily budget.

Is there proof of that? Any receipts?

Who has receipts for this?

I don't think it has much legal footing.

But it's clear that he could be made to look...

It'll have consequences for sure.

Judges are... These things are not forgiven.

Let's take them to him. Let him imagine the consequences.

He recently left his wife for a young woman.

He won't want to lose her.

- Is she a member of an association? - Association?

Is she in a club? Has she played tournaments?

No, none. She plays at school and at home.

With the computer because I can't match her any more.

She has a natural talent, but she still has much to learn.

If it's all right with both of you, and if she wants to,

I could give her classes.

You?

Yes, a couple of times a week after school.

- I don't know, we... - We're a bit tight for money.

No, please. Perhaps I haven't explained properly.

I'll give her classes for free.

- Where would these classes be? - I have an old bookshop.

Leave her with me,

and if necessary I can bring her home afterwards.

- I don't know what to say. - Why do you want to give Lia classes?

I told you. She still has a lot to learn, and I love kids.

One of my clients received this anonymously.

My client believes that there may be a way

to stop this from going public.

In fact, you're lucky it fell into his hands.

You understand who I'm talking about.

Perfectly.

My client says that he can help you in other ways.

You once wanted to work for the European Court of Human Rights.

For that you need connections at the highest level.

Contacts that my client has.

Of course, something like this requires a gesture from your end.

I'll make a gesture.

Maybe you should think before making a decision...

I don't have to think about it.

Get out of my car.

Understood.

I'll let them know.

Motherfucker.

But why are we toasting to these things?

To Valencia!

I'm starting to get quite drunk. No, Pau, shit!

- Come on! - Don't push it!

- How old do you think they are? - Who?

Fuck, Pau. They're kids.

Hello!

- Good evening. - Hi, what's up?

- How's things? - Great.

Hey, don't be greedy, we can all share.

- You're tickling me. - No, no.

Oh, yes... Oh...

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hi.

Good morning.

Morning.

What are you doing here?

An online newspaper uploaded a video of you.

You've reached Marga Ferrer. I'm unavailable right now...

- People are worried. - I don't see why.

You're becoming quite popular with the law.

Don't worry about that.

I accepted the party leadership partly to allay all the suspicion.

There'll always be those trying to ruin us.

- Now they'll be after you. - They won't find anything on me.

If they don't find it, they'll invent it.

Yes, I know, and I want to change that.

That sounds like a commendable goal and you'll have all my support.

Where do you want to begin?

With you. You can't be on the next list.

I don't think the Committee will oppose it.

I oppose it. I wanted to tell you in person.

We need new faces to reshape our image. I'm sorry, but I have to.

You'll continue as Party Treasurer, as part of the government committee,

but forget about returning to Parliament.

I understand, I do.

In your position now, you have to make tough decisions.

Yes, you know how it is.

The thing is, there's a possibility, as you have reminded me,

that I may have to testify in court.

I doubt it'll happen. In fact, I'm sure it won't.

Imagine if they asked me to testify before the investigating judge.

- I'd feel obligated to say things... - Is this a threat?

It's a possibility.

A remote one, but one to be considered.

And to avoid that, I need the capacity to do so.

But if I'm not on the list and the court summons me...

You know me, my friend.

I cannot lie.

If you want, I'll go. But first I'd like to explain.

- I'm leaving and that's it. - Marga.

But sure, explain. What have you got to say?

I was completely drunk. I think they put something in my drink.

I didn't know what I was doing.

It was a set-up. I'm on a case against important people.

It's fucking blackmail!

Is that it? Tomorrow I'll send someone for my stuff.

- Marga, please forgive me. - You're forgiven, don't worry.

That's how men are, right?

- You couldn't avoid it. - I was completely...

OK. Yes, I could have avoided it.

I have no excuse.

Marga...

Please, don't go.

By the way,

it's hilarious when you can't get the condom on.

Look on Twitter. Lots of posts in sympathy with you.

Martínez!

- Judge... - Listen to me.

- I assure you we have nothing... - Shut up!

Shut up and listen!

Fix this in your memory

because I want you to tell your client this word for word.

Maybe you can kick me off the judiciary. Fine.

But it won't be today, tomorrow, or in a month.

And I promise you that, now more than ever,

no one will stop me finishing this case.

I'll wrap it up so tightly that not even the most corrupt judge in the world

could avoid convicting you lot.

I may have to look for a new job, which remains to be seen,

but your clients will need to look for plugs for their arseholes

because I'm going to shove this right up them.

You've got on my tits, pal,

but you have no idea what you've started.

- Mr Miró. - Mr Granell.

- Please, sit. - Sure.

I had a look at everything. We can fix it.

For sure?

The best offer is 18.5 million. Offer 16 and they'll go for it.

- That's cutting it. - I know, I know.

But afterwards, we'll file a report that the ground wasn't stable

and that more foundation has to be laid, and they'll pay 20 or 25.

- You've done this before. - Yes.

Any loose ends, we'll fix through the Foundation, as usual.

Do you like paintings?

- Sandra. - One second. What is it?

I told you what I wanted on that wall. Wasn't I clear?

- I'll get them to change it. - You're an angel.

Jaume.

My husband told me you would come by the exhibit,

but we don't open until next week. Everything is still up in the air.

I'm off to Qatar tomorrow. I want to close this now.

- Is there something you like? - Not really.

Look. This is from the Berlin series.

Six canvases that explore the wall, separation.

In the words of a critic, it's a reflection on...

How much?

- Damià Camps is a rising star. - I'm sure. How much?

- 50,000. - For all six?

Each.

For that price, I'll have to take two. Whichever you choose.

Fantastic. It's a great investment.

- I hope so. Is a cheque all right? - Please.

Let's go to the office and I'll draw up the invoice.

- Would you like anything? - No, thanks.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Any new treasures?

"The Divine Comedy" illustrated by Gustave Doré.

First edition.

It won't be easy to find a buyer.

I'm not in a hurry.

The worst thing with this job is giving up gems like this.

It's like falling in love with a woman only to have her leave you.

How old was Beatriz when Dante fell in love with her? 12?

9.

Forbidden love.

Like many other things in life, Benet.

Luckily we still have old friends, right?

They don't fail us.

If you tell me what you want, maybe I can help.

Is it urgent?

How much?

13,000.

Put this aside for me.

- I have to restore it. - I trust you.

Who else can I trust if not you?

I won't keep you any longer. I'll wait for your news.

You should come by for dinner one day. Like old times.

For sure. Any time.

Say hi to Joana.

I will.

The guy was terrified for himself and his family.

As if Miró were Al Capone...

But he looked ready to provide evidence.

We have to do it, Torner.

These people want to tire me out

and have Canals take over the proceedings.

If Canals gets it, you know what will happen.

So we'll let this guy testify and we'll end it, that's it.

Thanks. I'll try to convince him.

For now, I need full discretion.

This witness, Palacios, only you know his identity.

You have my word. And your people?

Call me paranoid but I don't even trust my own father.

I'll try to get him to testify on Monday.

- Is that all right? - Yes, perfect.

- No problem. - Thanks.

Behave yourself. OK, sweetie?

- I'll come back in an hour. - All right, thanks.

- See you soon. - Bye.

Bye.

Come on.

Sit down.

- Do you know my name? - Mr Muntada.

Benet. All right?

Lesson one.

What does a chess player do before starting a game?

Think?

Shake your opponent's hand.

Your opponent always deserves respect.

So we always acknowledge them before and after we play,

whether we win or lose.

Because an opponent is not an enemy, but an adversary.

Without them, we couldn't play.

Do you know John Lennon?

Lennon said that life is what happens to you

while you're busy making other plans.

The same is true of chess.

We have a plan. For example,

you make a first move to take control of the middle of the board.

But the opponent doesn't make it easy.

May I ask why you moved that pawn?

So you take it.

And what will happen if I take it?

Your pieces will end up in poor positions.

Exactly.

Scandinavian defence.

The opponent seeks to ruin our plans while also carrying out their plan.

Therefore, we must pay close attention to our opponent's response

and follow their intentions

while at the same time preventing an ambush,

a trap.

And sacrificing some pieces if necessary

to improve our position and weaken theirs.

We have to evaluate all possibilities and that's not always easy.

The first danger is haste,

which leads to error.

So, lesson two.

Before moving a piece,

remember these three words:

Observe, think...

and act.

Say them.

Observe, think, and act.

That's how things are done.

- Want a biscuit? - OK.

- Hello? - Judge? It's me, Palacios.

I was about to call you.

The prosecutor will meet your requests.

We have everything ready. We'll testify on Monday.

- But first I'll need everything... - Wait a minute.

Sorry, yes. Go on.

I'm sorry, but...

I can't put my family in danger.

I'm sorry.

- We'll protect you and your family. - Until when?

- Well, as long as necessary. - That's not enough.

I'm sorry, but...

I won't do it.

Hold on, let's not decide this over the phone.

Let's meet and at least you can give me the documents.

I'll say it's from an anonymous source.

If you are on recordings, we won't use them,

so that nobody could...

You have to help me, Palacios. You have to help me somehow.

Fine. I'll send you something.

- I'll call you. - Fine.

- I'm sorry. - What the hell? Are you crazy?

- Sorry! - Fuck.

Listen...

I want to...

If I could just...

Please call me.

I love you.

- Hello? - It's me, Lia.

Lia, why are you calling me?

Why are you whispering?

I'm hiding.

Really?

- What is it, lovely? - I was thinking and...

in the second game when you castled,

you could have played Bishop to F4 and had checkmate in five.

- Right? - Yes.

So why didn't you do it?

I didn't see it.

That's a fib. I don't want you to go easy on me.

All right, I won't do it again.

Now, off to sleep.

- Good night. - Good night.

Marga?

Marga, is that you?

"With more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in".

Hamlet.

"Burning repentance...

"that would have torn his heart and robbed him of sleep...

"that repentance, the awful agony of which...

"brings visions of hanging...

"or drowning.

"Oh, he would have been glad of it.

But he did not repent of his crime."

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Marga, it's me.

I just got home and...

Never mind.

Gran Vía and Passeig de Gràcia, please.

You're right to...

I want to...

I wanted to say that if I could go back...

...sex video scandal involving Judge Carles Vallejo...

Please call me.

...during court proceedings a year ago.

Free Justice, an organisation close to the extreme right,

has announced they will file a complaint against Judge Vallejo...

Màrius.

Hi, Marga. Do you know where your husband is?

He's not answering his phone and this morning he had to be in court.

He didn't show up. It's strange.

I sent someone to his house. His car is there, but he's not answering.

Any idea where he is?

Tito?

Tito?

Tito?

Tito!

Thanks.

Judge.

His wife found him around 2pm. No sign of violence.

No sign of forced entry.

It looks like he was on the loo and something happened.

I don't know. That's what it looks like.

And finally, I don't know if you know the law, my friend,

but I want to remind you that

this year the Department of Health has earmarked 120 million Euros

for neighbourhoods most in need.

In total, this agreement with various city councils

represents 57 initiatives, 42 of which involve new facilities.

The main contributions focus on four main areas:

Primary and community care, social health care,

focus on mental health and addiction and specialised care.

In the documents I've provided

the allocated funds have been outlined.

I will now take any questions you may have.

Mr Miró, how would you evaluate the meeting?

Very positive.

With great conviction

we have successfully outlined our course of action.

The government is ready and has decided to implement our proposals.

Mr Miró, here. Have you heard about the death of Judge Vallejo?

I heard it on the news, yes.

It's a tragedy.

He was working on an investigation to which you appear to be connected.

Judge Vallejo was an excellent lawyer and he will be missed.

I'm unaware of what investigations he was working on,

but I'm sure they'll continue in the hands of another judge.

Both my party and I will be available

to provide any information we have.

We have absolute faith in the justice system.

- Do they deliver? - Yes.

Without drinks it's 10 Euros.

Well, beer will cost you one Euro more.

I'm living off that. We don't have a cooker yet.

A vitro-ceramic with oven is 300 Euros.

Shall we begin?

I want to know everything about her.

If she's unfaithful, a dyke or has a secret child.

They'll do anything we ask.

I'm a forensic psychiatrist. Do you know what that is?

You're here.

- They're watching us. - Who's watching us?

Hi.
