THE FACTS AND CHARACTERS PRESENTED ARE A WORK OF FICTION.

Come in.

Leave us alone.

I'm listening.

Víctor was hiding something from me.

I thought I had enough to weaken his bond with Luciano,

but I was wrong.

She's got a ticket for Tuesday, the 26th, at 11 p.m.

Buenos Aires, Amsterdam.

Two-hour layover.

She'll have to hurry.

From there to Paris Charles de Gaulle.

Sofía arrives at destination at 4 p.m. local time.

Leave my daughter alone.

Sofía has nothing to do with this.

Snap out of it, Marcos.

We need something very concrete from you,

and we're running out of patience.

I'm not cut out for this.

I think that what you need is beyond my capabilities.

Therapists accompany processes, we motivate reflection, but this...

What is all this?

Marcos, politics is full of guys like you.

People who, from the inside, play for the outside.

They go unnoticed, they manipulate in silence,

but they help us pull the strings. C'est clair?

Nineteen ninety-five.

The death of Senator Villegas

uncovered the case of the investment funds.

In 1999, do you remember?

Deminech surprisingly didn't show up to vote for the labor reform.

Or in 2004, an irreproachable federal prosecutor committed suicide.

In 2009, Hernán Pívori disappeared before going to testify.

Shall I go on?

I'm not up to the task.

Of course you're up to the task.

Like you said, it's about processes, reflections.

A sum of small big steps.

You're a brilliant man, Marcos, but I need you to focus.

I'm trying. I swear I'm trying.

I want Luciano out for tomorrow.

Hello.

-Ana, you look beautiful. -Thank you.

Tell me, Rizzone. They're all here.

Your latest moves made a huge impact in the lower house.

I was expecting them to abandon me.

No, you don't understand. Quite the opposite.

They saw it as a sign of strength and leadership.

The Party is a little disoriented and people need someone to follow.

Are they lowering their heads?

Rumor has it that they want you as president of the coalition.

You never listened to rumors, Rizzone.

We've got to think about the next few years.

It flatters me, of course.

But that would be a sign of weakness towards Víctor.

The fact that I am considered someone to follow

puts him in a place of little leadership.

He would never allow it.

This is as far as we've come together.

You either have leadership or you don't.

I just want you to think about it.

These are important times.

I don't agree.

I always believed that a leader is built.

Tell me, how do you feel?

Not bad.

I think I have it under control.

If what we're doing is counterproductive

we have to go back to the previous strategy.

No, it's working.

I'm calmer.

Today I can do it, right? Just for a bit?

Last time you told me that you stole some photos.

How did that make you feel?

At first it feels good, it gives an adrenaline rush.

It's easy to get into a phone.

There are a thousand ways to do it.

But then I feel guilty and I'm afraid of losing control.

Control isn't dominating others, but dominating oneself.

Perhaps the problem isn't the "what" but the "what for".

I propose that we do an exercise.

You help me find someone

and you write down all your feelings during the process.

I need to find someone but I don't have much information.

All I know is what she looks like

and that she's French.

"That is why I think it's appropriate to request a meeting

with the leaders of our movement.

We believe that these are decisive moments

and that the future of our country is at stake."

-You think it's too stiff? -No.

It is a request to the congresswoman.

I like it. It has that serious tone that you give everything.

-As if it were a life-or-death matter. -It is a life-or-death matter.

And your job search?

I found some things,

but I would like something that has to do with medicine

so I can take a closer look at the European healthcare system.

Maybe it's easier once we're there.

You can meet people, make connections.

I hate that word.

My dad uses it. He's always talking about connections.

Why don't you send him a message?

No.

You can't leave like this. You should talk to him.

-You can ask him for your mom's papers. -No, no.

Why don't you read it to me again?

The beginning is kind of weird.

So persistent!

Who is it?

Ulises.

I don't know what he wants.

That boy needs to calm down.

It's about my farewell party.

I WANT TO SEE YOU

-So? -Done.

I printed out a list for you.

Someone in Customs can tell me all the French people

currently in the country and foreigners who live in Paris.

Cross-referencing with the description you gave me,

these are the profiles I found.

Could it be that you're missing someone?

I don't think so. If she's not in there,

either she isn't French or she leaves no traces

The guilt feeling?

It's not there.

I feel like it's for a good cause.

What would you say if I asked you

to tap into the phone of a state official?

Difficult tasks thrill me.

If it's a high-ranking official they usually have a case

with HDM integration that bypasses the operating system.

It's not impossible, but I would have to clone data.

I need to be in contact with the device to do that.

Why are you asking?

Sometimes politics accelerates processes.

You don't have the time to think things over,

you have to move on quickly.

Luciano knows it.

I think that the urgency helped us move forward.

I understand.

But it's important that you set clear boundaries.

I was never good at that.

I want the people that surround me to grow,

and if I set boundaries, I corner them.

Are you all right, Dorrego?

Yes.

I was looking at that copy of the Treaty of Versailles and...

You thought about how difficult it is to reach an understanding?

No, something much more basic.

It made me think of France.

My daughter is emigrating there.

Sorry, I drifted away.

France, what a shitty country.

My wife's parents were French.

And they thought the same as you.

It's late and I'm tired, and sometimes I have no filter.

Where were we?

At the beginning of the session

you said that even if hard decisions hurt,

you feel a certain pleasure in making them.

How so?

Unless he's the Holy Trinity, something doesn't add up:

He's Chinese, his name is Robertson and he speaks French.

No, he's not Chinese.

He's the representative of Wuhan Lithium in South America.

He's Canadian

and speaks several languages.

Polyglots. How do they do it?

They study.

What's wrong?

I had a strange situation with Víctor.

He received some information about me that he shouldn't know.

Shit always comes out.

Enemies are always prowling.

What about friends?

Are you serious?

What would I get out of that?

Luciano, you're my best contact in there.

Which doesn't mean that someone on your side

-isn't out to get me. -I'll look into it,

but I tell you right away that no one gave the order.

Renata is obsessed with Víctor.

She wouldn't waste her time on you.

SEARCHING

ACCESS DENIED DEVICE LOCKED

SEARCHING

Don't bring her in, I don't want her to see me like this.

VERONICA OLIVA ROME

It's enough, tell her to stop.

It's for your sake. She has to check your condition.

Sure, Camila. This new medication has its side effects.

I want to make sure you're fit to receive it.

It's on its way, isn't it?

Yes.

She'll be one of the firsts to try it.

This sound is so relaxing.

That's important now, to relax.

-I'm going to prepare the samples. -Thank you.

You're welcome.

Put it on me.

We're lucky to have someone like Víctor helping us.

There you go.

Thank you.

Thank you for staying with me till the end.

The end is you walking out that door.

Promise me something.

Sofi is growing every day.

She has her friends,

she's going to start going out, doing her stuff.

Don't let yourself go.

Don't give up.

Sofi will obviously make her own life,

but my life will be next to you.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to keep putting up with me.

You're so silly.

Rest.

This will do.

Yes, I think that's what you need.

Check if everything's there.

You can ask me for anything.

Yes.

Although I'm not going to lie to you, it also makes me sad.

I'm going to miss you a lot.

This helps me a lot. It really does.

Thank you.

I know it's not easy for you.

Mom would be so proud of you.

She is.

I always admired the maturity with which you faced all this.

It wasn't maturity,

it was...

acceptance.

There was a moment

when Mom started asking me for things,

talking about how things would be when she was gone.

-It must have happened to you too. -Yes.

That's when I realized

that she already knew what was going to happen.

I can't...

let her go.

-I almost forgot. -What?

I brought you something I would like you to have.

Thank you.

Promise me... you'll take care of yourself.

I will.

I will.

Everyone thinks the same, they see Ana as a strong woman.

Better that way. The debate in Congress is just around the corner.

Can I ask you a straight-forward question?

Here?

How much can I trust you?

You don't trust me?

Someone is filling Víctor's head against me.

I keep getting shot, but I don't know where it comes from.

Not from me, that's for sure.

Wouldn't you do that for power?

That's you, Luciano.

I would never go behind your back, and you know it.

I am going to prepare the report.

Let me know about anything you hear or see, whatever it is.

Go. How interesting.

-Hello, Marcos. -Hello.

The session will be in here?

We reached a middle ground.

When his schedule becomes difficult, we meet here.

I don't expect the president to rearrange his business for me.

-Do you play? -No, I'm not good.

But I've heard it is harder than chess.

It has another philosophy.

It's not about destroying your opponent, but cornering him, immobilizing him.

And many times victory is obtained by adding small advantages.

Interesting. I mean, in life, too.

Although in life, it's not always clear who our opponents are.

I've never thought about it like that.

In Go, there are thousands of variables and subtleties,

but your opponent is always your opponent.

How can you detect a hidden opponent?

I suppose by seeing who around me is accumulating small advantages

and who takes advantage of my disadvantages to grow.

"To grow."

That temptation is always at hand.

It is a temptation that only those who can afford it have.

I'm sorry. This city is chaos.

I got your message.

I apologize.

Cheers!

Santé.

-Santé. -Santé.

To the future.

And that they don't back down at the last minute.

That's not going to happen, Patrick.

-This woman... -Renata Sáenz.

She owes herself to her audience, but she's a part of a broader coalition

in which Carmona is one of its main representatives,

and he wouldn't be here if he didn't support the project.

I understand that there are more congressmen who are still hesitant.

It is part of the legislative dance.

Don't you worry, monsieur Robertson.

Little by little they are all coming to our side.

All right, now.

-"Shanté." -Santé.

Think about our proposal.

I will.

The first months of the term are essential.

People give you the benefit of the doubt because they have no choice.

Even those who didn't vote for you

think that you're going to do things right.

But the process is slow,

and anxiety plays against me.

Anxiety responds to mental stimuli.

It's projected into the future and the possibilities that it brings.

Luciano should be your fuse.

Yet again?

When we had our disagreement,

I had some rough conversations with Luciano.

Maybe that's influencing my thinking.

You admit you can be wrong?

Of course.

Honestly, I think he is extremely capable

and I understand your need to protect him.

What I always care about

is understanding how this works according to your expectations.

Don't be anxious about the lithium issue.

After all, you put someone you trust in charge.

It's ironic.

Although I was the one who gave him the push,

I'm also worried about him.

Why's that?

Well...

I wouldn't want Luciano to look like the architect of my victory.

A victory is a victory.

You yourself said that you like it when people near you grow.

The issue is not me, it's the people.

The people who voted for you want to see that it's your achievements,

that I hold the reins.

Do you feel threatened?

Why would I feel threatened?

I'm the president.

Exactly for that reason.

You always say that you're surrounded by wolves.

Well, wolves move in packs.

And every pack has its leader.

Do you think that leader sleeps peacefully?

The point is that the leader feels constantly threatened

by other younger, hungrier predators

who are waiting for him to make a mistake.

It's normal to feel threatened.

Otherwise,

it would be worrying.

How did it go?

Fine. Everything's connected. You have to log in with this password.

Keep in mind that he will see any changes you make.

Want to try?

No, later.

Marcos,

Luciano isn't your patient, is he?

It's a bit more complicated.

If you want to talk, you can count on me.

Thank you, but I'm more laconic than you think.

That's it for today.

I'll walk you to the door.

Being so close to realizing this project is a dream come true.

The dream won't come true if they don't pass the law.

It's like a row of dominoes:

Once the first one hits the second and the second hits the third

there's no turning back.

The chain of causes and effects runs to its inevitable end.

You are strong, Noriega, and Luciano's help has been invaluable.

He is a storm pilot.

You do understand our doubts, don't you, Mr. President?

Your country has a long history of unfulfilled commitments.

We've learned our lesson, Robertson.

We'll start doing things seriously and opening ourselves to the world.

That's why we're here.

To the lithium law.

"To the opposition not bothering."

And that Carmona delivers.

If he can get something out of it, he'll be on our side.

-Santé. -Santé.

Cheers.

Cheers.

DID YOU TALK TO RENATA?

SHE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR IT

ALL THE REST ARE IN MY POCKET

-ARE YOU COMING HOME? -NO, VICTOR WON'T LET ME GO

HE'S BEING VERY COLD TOWARDS ME

No!

If you can't talk, tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the same place as always.

I'll delete this message in five minutes.

WE WANT YOU ON OUR TEAM

THANKS FOR THE OFFER BUT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW

I CAN'T LEAVE VICTOR

HELLO, PATRICK, HOW ARE YOU?

FINE, AND YOU?

THAT THING WE TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER DAY...

"Everything is beautiful and constant,

everything is music and reason,

and everything, just like diamonds,

before shining bright...

is coal."

Help me.

My love.

Hello?

Mr. Marcos Dorrego?

Yes.

I am Inspector Azcuaga.

I need to ask you some questions

regarding the death of Veronica Oliva.

Could you stop by the 11th Precinct tomorrow?

Hello?

Yes.

I'm sorry, I was shocked by the news. I had no idea.

I'll be waiting for you. Ask to see me.

You can't come without telling me.

Was it you?

Was it all of you?

Do you have news, or is it another of your withdrawal attacks?

Veronica had nothing to do with this! You took it out on her.

You have no limits, you bastards!

I thought you were coming to tell me about Víctor.

Answer me, dammit!

Yes, it was us.

You didn't have to do that.

I almost have Luciano, it's a matter of time.

He's going down,

and Víctor and all those around him come next, I swear.

I swear on my life.

I planned everything out.

Víctor will fall.

Víctor must fall.

Listen to me well, Marcos,

because it's the last time I tell you this.

We're not playing.

Come in.

Víctor.

Ana.

So now you're following me in addition to investigating me.

I work for you, Víctor.

Didn't you give me permission to do whatever it took?

The relationship with Carmona is essential

to have a foot inside the opposition.

He works more for us than for them.

He works for himself, but right now he's our ally.

What's wrong?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Did I do something wrong?

Is it something the girl did?

"I want to branch out,

to distance myself from Víctor."

Let me see that.

This is fake.

It's all a lie, a staging to make you not trust me!

Really?

I thought that we were the ones doing all the staging.

Who gave this to you?

That's the person who you should be suspicious about.

These aren't even my words.

Show me your cell phone.

I have absolutely nothing to hide.

Robertson.

This makes no sense.

You're pathetic, Giancara.

You make me sick.

Let me find out who's behind all this,

who wrote these things in my chat.

I would never say something like this, Víctor.

I didn't betray you.

Your resignation letter is in your office.

Sign it and take your things with you.

What do you want?

I need something strong.

You aren't a cop, are you?

No.

-How much money do you have? -Thirty.

I'll go count it.

Thanks.

Dad? Dad!
