THE FACTS AND CHARACTERS PRESENTED ARE A WORK OF FICTION.

If you have something to say to him, this is the time.

You have to call the police, file a complaint.

We can't, they have people there.

They have people everywhere, in politics, in the courts.

-They are very dangerous. -So what are we doing here?

Why don't we just go? Let's go far away from here.

-Where to? -I don't know.

No, the best thing is for me to finish this as soon as possible.

What else do you know about this woman?

Nothing.

She started out like a regular patient.

And at one point the threats began.

It's very shady.

I tried to investigate her,

but I couldn't find anything.

Why you?

What do you have to do with this?

They want to get to Víctor.

They know I have access to his private life,

his most vulnerable side.

Sure, but no, it's weird.

There must be something else behind this.

"Lauren", you said?

Gerard.

But I don't think that's her real name.

Give me your phone.

Here.

Let me see...

There. Done.

They're linked.

This way you can know where I am

and I'll know where you are.

Thank you very much, Sandra.

If you don't say it, then I will.

Congratulations.

The law passed, our great campaign promise.

I imagine you must be happy

and that all this is part of your unbridled joy.

Congratulations, sure.

That's what you're looking for.

You want me to congratulate you, to thank you, permanent recognition.

In exchange for what?

What were you willing to give up?

Me?

Everything always revolves around you.

And you wouldn't be here without me.

But you systematically make a point of denying it

and you're doing it again now.

I'm not interested in congratulations or thanks.

Stop underestimating me.

I will no longer repress my personal growth

for you and your approval.

Approval?

Are you serious?

You know what your problem is?

You want to be a commander without ever having been a soldier.

You don't like to obey.

Obey?

Obey?

Where's that partnership you talked about?

With me or with Rizzone?

Us, Víctor, us.

I thought we were a team.

That we had a partnership. A strong, indestructible partnership.

You betrayed me.

Seems somewhere along the way we stopped believing the same things.

-Are you okay? What happened? -Yes.

Sorry, I didn't know you were in a meeting.

That's alright.

You are my priority. What happened?

My dad told me something terrible.

He told me someone threatened him to hurt me.

So that's why he's so close to Noriega.

What?

Yes.

I don't know why I'm telling you all this, sorry.

Of course you should tell me.

No, because I promised him I wasn't going to do it and...

-I think I have to share it with you. -Of course, Sofía.

Yes.

They want to make him fall.

From the inside.

I trust you.

Yes, of course.

My dad is not well.

You know?

He's using again and he's unstable.

He is cyclothymic.

He's scared and I don't know how to help him.

Take it easy. This is a lot to handle.

I'm here for you.

Alright.

Okay, okay...

I'm here for you.

Hello.

-Congratulations on the law. -Thank you.

I am trying to contact Víctor but I can't get hold of him.

What do you want, Luciano? I can't talk right now.

I've done some research.

I think I know who's behind all this.

Behind what? I'm not interested in your conspiracy theories.

This is a difficult time.

It's hard to stay united in the midst of all the chaos, right?

Two minutes, I think...

we are going to find the answers we need.

I told you I can't talk right now.

Ana.

Ana...

She hung up.

So?

Something's happening between Ana and Víctor.

They always work as a block.

They show themselves as a united front to the outside.

-What's going on? -They are in crisis.

And it's not a political crisis.

This has to do with my thing.

But why?

What's the connection?

Ana and I are the president's inner circle.

We used to be

the canes on which he leaned on.

And now, neither one of us is with him.

Someone is trying to isolate Víctor.

And that is dangerous.

I need you to do me a favor.

We had a great victory.

Why the long face?

Am I supposed to enjoy it as well?

The important thing is it's working.

Of course, Marcos.

I never doubted you.

It's done.

It's just a matter of time.

It's a loose branch.

Any storm will make it fall.

I like that metaphor.

But storms are unforeseeable.

We can't leave the president in the hands of fate.

We have to be the storm.

I suppose you already have the people ready for what's coming.

The men who conveniently surrounded the president.

And the best man I have around the president is Marcos Dorrego.

We make a great team, mon ami.

Look at everything we achieved.

We turned a powerful, happily married man

into someone that's unhappy, broken.

We are not a team.

This goes against everything I believe in.

All this shit has nothing to do with me.

I am not a part of your world.

Marcos, you and I are the same.

Listen, that's what we're going to do.

Excuse me, Víctor.

I gave you what you asked for

and you still plotted to weaken me?

I only exercised the free game of politics.

I helped you get here too.

But some get weaker on their own.

Who do you answer to?

To the same people who helped you get here.

The problem is you stopped answering to them.

Do you think you're winning now, you idiot?

You are not winning at all.

You are a political worm.

You are a parasite of other people's power,

always accommodating to circumstances, you are useless.

You could never achieve anything on your own.

The thing is no one ever achieves anything on their own.

Even Ana understood that.

Get out of here right now.

Get out of here, you scum!

Figueroa, Víctor took this even worse than we thought.

This fight will be hard.

Shall we move on with the plan then?

Knowing Víctor, I knew he would put up a fight.

Yes, she has the power.

Talk to your contacts in the press, give them a clear message.

No hints nor metaphors.

The president just created a government crisis.

I told you this would happen.

Hold on. You just shut up and take note.

"Despite the victory in Congress,

the president insists on being confrontational within his coalition,

undermining the historic agreement with the opposition

to achieve the endorsement of an important law."

"Essential", I would say.

Even better. "The endorsement of an essential law," yes.

But are you sure about "confrontational"?

What do you mean if I'm sure, Figueroa?

Renata has to come out saying the president did not fulfill

what he promised to her, despite the votes she gave him.

And we have to come out saying

that Noriega used us to negotiate a lie.

One more thing, say the first lady

is distancing herself from her husband's mistakes.

Perfect. I'll move forward with that, then.

One last thing.

We need to deal with Luciano.

Can I leave it up to you, Carmona?

Over 15 organizations are on alert.

We have to hold a regional demonstration now.

Territory, media and political pressure, all three things.

But this is not just about the president,

It's about the whole corrupt system.

Our lives are at stake here.

We know this better than anyone.

But people have other priorities

and we can't hold their attention by talking about resources

and pollution if people are looking the other way.

-Right. -Excuse me, I have big news.

The president is separating from his wife.

Looks like there's an internal fight.

-Really? Víctor and Ana separated? -Sure, look.

-Where did you hear that? -Here, Laura Acuña said it.

"President Víctor Noriega

and First Lady Ana Parisi are separated.

She allegedly left the presidential residence."

There's other news here.

"The couple's breakup is but one further step

in the distance between Vice-president Rizzone and Noriega."

This is very good.

Let's be smart, then.

If they are having an internal crisis and this is true,

this would be a good time to expose them.

Let's seize the moment.

-Luciano? -Yes.

Listen, this is important.

Rizzone and Noriega had a big argument.

-What happened? -They set up a parallel bloc.

Seems Ana is also with them.

Víctor is furious, he's grown weaker on the home front.

Rizzone and who else?

Rizzone was talking on the phone with someone, but I don't know who.

They talked about leaking it to the press and going after you.

Please, be careful.

Thanks, Rocío.

Honey, help me.

I need you.

It's over.

Does it hurt?

All over.

Stay, stay here.

You are so beautiful.

It's over.

It's over...

Don't talk now.

I love you.

I love you too.

I want to go for a walk.

You rest now.

Rest, we'll go for a walk later.

Let's go together.

Over there.

NORIEGA IS A PUPPET TO THE CORPORATIONS

SAENZ IS DIRTY

That's it, come on. Let's go.

-Hurry, come on. -Come on, let's go.

I don't understand why you are here.

I have a theory.

And every step I take brings me closer to confirming it.

But that theory is missing a piece, which boils down to a question.

Let's hear it.

Who do you work for?

I don't know what you're talking about.

You know what I think?

That answer might have worked with your teenage sweetheart,

but with me you'll need to work a little harder.

I think you are confused.

A boss I once had taught me that if you want to understand

how things work you have to find a common denominator.

A pattern that unites different events.

Do you know what the common denominator is in all this mess?

You.

What's that mess?

Good question.

I started there.

At first, I thought it was about me.

Someone close enough to operate on me without me realizing it.

Someone who was after my position. Not very original, I know.

But once I was moved aside, I just watched and...

No one took my place or climbed up the ladder.

So I had to try a little harder.

Investigate.

I found the person who had cloned my phone and planted those messages.

What a coincidence!

He was one of Marcos Dorrego's patients.

I was just as surprised as you.

What does Marcos have against me? What did I do to him?

Why me?

I had to put aside my wounded ego, as you people call it,

to understand that my hypothesis was wrong.

And find a new one.

The target was not me.

Right, Marcos?

It was Víctor.

Then I saw the distance that began to grow

between Ana and Víctor.

That destructive thing that grew between them

contributed to my theory.

But there's more.

In my new role as an investigator,

I discovered that a patient of yours died

under very suspicious circumstances.

Is it normal for a patient to die?

I don't think so.

I think that, just like Pedro,

she was working for you.

Maybe this woman knew too much,

and perhaps these people you work for had her killed.

So, I ask again.

Who do you work for?

How are you?

I can't believe he doesn't want to see me.

I don't understand.

What did you expect? He doesn't know who to trust.

We made solid agreements for years.

Whatever you need to tell him, you can tell me.

Out there they are putting together a strong coalition.

A man like Luciano would be very valuable to us.

Who?

The same people that put Noriega where he is now.

He'll understand.

No, Luciano is very loyal to Víctor.

Víctor didn't give a fuck about Luciano's loyalty, Rocío.

He needs to move quickly or he'll be left out.

Tell Luciano that if he wants in,

the door is now open.

Are you trying to intimidate me?

I know shit from the inside.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Secret Services?

Much more than that.

Don't you think if it were the Services, you'd already have that information?

It's something much bigger and more dangerous.

Believe me, you can't face this.

None of us can.

What have you gotten yourself into, Dorrego?

Are you willing to risk it?

Here.

Perfect.

That's it.

Thank you.

All this for some shitty posters.

Those motherfuckers were waiting for us.

Someone sold us out.

The ones who went after Sáenz?

No, they're fine.

Good, but we have to keep going.

Where was Ulises?

-He was in the other group. -With me.

Anything else, Ana?

I'll be fine.

Thank you.

REPRESENTATIVE SÁENZ VANDALIZED

Several riots, including posters of President Noriega,

a symbolical hug in front of Ministry of Environment

and even an act of vandalism on representative Renata Sáenz's car.

This is a clear sign of the reaction among environmentalist groups

who didn't support the reform that was passed a few days ago.

They told me you were locked up all day.

I don't want to see anybody.

But you asked to see me.

I can't talk to anyone.

I'm surrounded by speculators, vultures.

I can't appear weak.

I just can't.

I didn't call you for a session.

I called you because you are the only person I can trust.

Víctor...

You are at the center of a huge void.

You are facing one of your biggest fears.

To be left alone.

I think in this situation, the best thing would be

for you not to worry about anything other than yourself.

When this is over, when you have gone through it, overcome it,

and you can put yourself back together,

then you will be able to surround yourself with people who are worth it.

But for now, I think you need to take care of yourself.

I don't know if you ever considered...

If you thought maybe...

I have an obligation to suggest that you take a step aside.

We are in a session.

The nursing home called.

Hello, Marcos, in half an hour at our usual place.

I'm afraid it's not good news, Mr. President.

His intestines began to fail, which led to kidney failure,

which became structural.

There's nothing more we can do.

So?

If you have something to say to him, this is the time.

What did you want to see me for?

When did it start?

What do you mean?

Did you first get in and then sold out or were you always one of them?

That...

You know what, Manuela?

That's not where things happen.

You think smoking some joints and putting up posters

will change anything?

Yes, it will.

We change many things and we resist, for your information.

You can't really believe that. Not you.

You don't give a fuck about anything,

that's your problem.

I want to be where things get done.

If you want to judge me, that's fine.

But you're smart, everyone says so, not just me.

If you want to be on this side, let me know, there's a place for you.

Dad.

You always were a piece of shit.

You ruined my life.

You betrayed me, Marcos.

I did everything you said.

Don't lie to me.

You think I don't know you?

I know you better than anyone.

I know your every move.

You can lie to them, you can manipulate them,

but not me.

I did everything I could.

C'est fini, your time is up.

Now you'll have to start paying the consequences.

I isolated him from everyone, even his wife.

I broke him from the inside.

You are a coward.

No man can serve two masters.

I don't want any master.

None of this was my idea.

This is torture to me.

All I want is for you to leave me alone.

There's only one thing left for you to do.

Víctor is more than just a patient.

He trusted me.

Camila trusted you as well.

Don't you mention Camila.

We had a pact.

I didn't betray her.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here.

You have no idea what we went through.

Do what you have to do.

I won't listen to you anymore.

I'm done.

It's over, Lauren.

Do what you have to do, Marcos.

What are you doing here?

No, what are you doing?

What's going on?

This is Lauren.

Who are you talking to, Dad?
