Original subtitles

What were you dreaming about?

Why?

It looked like a nightmare.

I was dreaming about the orphanage.

My mother had abandoned me again

and I hated her.

It's strange hating someone you've never met.

I don't envy you, but getting betrayed at birth

must have spared you a lot of disappointment.

You know how it's helped me?

To not be like them.

I never abandon anyone.

I'm not Collado.

But you could be.

If your life goes to shit,

where do you get the strength to be a good person?

Tell me.

He ruined his own life, he has no right to complain.

It's his only option now.

To get us all dirty.

Let everyone know he's still alive.

That he can do to us what they did to him.

You make him sound like a hero

instead of a selfish bastard.

If he were selfish he'd keep his mouth shut.

It needs sugar.

Ruben,

don't forgive him.

I'd feel stupid.

It's for Monica.

CREMATORIUM

EPISODE 5 FISHING DAY

What are you doing?

Drink your coffee.

You're leaving?

You are. Sarcos will take you to the Mirador.

When will you tell me what's happening?

I don't understand your clothes. You'd better pick it out.

You're staying here?

I have things to do.

- Are you awake? - Yes.

Remember that envelope I gave you,

with an account number in your name?

Throw it away or burn it, okay?

- The envelope? - Okay?

And don't put on make-up.

You look very pretty.

You're really not going to tell me what's going on?

I prefer to talk about it later. I hope you understand.

What you prefer isn't the only thing that counts.

I'm going to be your wife.

Are you going to listen to me?

I'm not leaving!

- Monica... - You weren't going to tell me.

He told her.

Is it that bad?

It was bad when Alonso blabbed about the funeral home.

He connected us to mass graves

with horses or people in them.

But now that Collado gave names, dates and amounts,

he saved the police

years of work and we have no time to defend ourselves.

It's his word against ours.

He's telling the truth, don't forget.

I got exactly the opposite of what I wanted.

To worry her without her understanding.

She wants to stay here.

Is she going to?

Absolutely not.

Take her away as soon as possible.

We need to keep her and my family out of this.

I'll tell Silvia.

Manuel Llorens?

Yes, that's me.

You're under arrest.

The charges are misappropriating public funds, fraud

and bribery. Here are the arrest

and search warrants.

I can you read you your rights if you want.

Okay, then I need you to please come with me.

Good morning.

BOW.!

Sanchez, Ruiz, this wing.

Manuel, Francisco, the other wing.

Have you got the warrant?

Mr. Bertomeu Bernia.

You're under arrest.

I have to read you your rights.

Does it have to be out loud?

No.

I don't have glasses.

They have to search the house.

They have no right.

It won't take long, I was robbed

recently.

- Want to see the police report? - No.

We'll start upstairs. You have to be present during the search.

Only your lawyer can accompany you.

Please.

Yes?

What?

What are you saying?

Yeah.

Who is it?

All right.

All right, thank you.

What's wrong?

It was Zarrategui.

They just arrested your father.

Luis, Andres, with me.

You guys take the back.

All the drawers and file cabinets.

Yes, everything.

Yes, everything.

Check the bottom ones first.

Ask the laboratory.

What do we do?

I'm going to the police station. You, I don't know.

Work.

Yeah, but with Mr. Bertomeu in custody and the accounts blocked,

-we'll have to stop construction. - No.

We need to reassure people that this won't last long.

Tell the truth, you know,

it's a figure of speech.

Don't let them see you nervous.

We should have resolved this soonen

- I did what I could. - Yeah.

I didn't.

Coming!

Hi, neighbor.

You know what time it is?

Don't be grumpy. I brought you breakfast.

Where have you been?

I went to every nightclub.

Your father will cut you off

if he finds out what you're spending your money on.

My father knows, but he's too far away to do anything about it.

You should go to New York with him.

Tomorrow.

What are you doing?

Take some pictures of me, like the other girls.

Know what the problem is?

You're not a model.

Well...

You're not my father either, are you?

It looks like they're leaving.

That's Sarcos.

Where's my father?

They just took him away.

How are you?

Look at her.

Monica, you should go away for a few days, while the maid

cleans things up. You'll be lonely.

I suppose.

Can you call me a taxi?

How's my father?

He's okay.

Don't worry. Juan.

Hello.

I'll see him at the police station.

Are they setting bail?

He has no record or any risk of running, and he is who he is.

I imagine so. But it will be high.

I don't know where we'll get the money, they froze the accounts.

The accounts?

Why didn't you tell me?

He'll have to spend the night in jail.

What are you saying?

Ruben will be locked up all night?

And you just stand there? Ruben is sleeping at home

and that's final.

Do your fucking job already!

What are you doing?

Calling you a taxi.

I'd better go with her.

Are you okay?

- Is there any coffee? - It's been a long night.

What's happening, Emilio?

Your father doesn't want to involve you...

Don't talk to me like you do to her.

I have to go to the police station.

What are you going to do?

My house is on your way.

COAST OF MISENT, 1998

And the drunkard says, "I thought it was the bar."

Hey.

It was delicious. Who's the cook?

We have a new cook, he's French.

Pierre, he's wonderful.

The cook, of course.

- Why don't you girls go for a swim? - We just ate.

They want to talk. I'd rather get indigestion.

Let's go.

Careful your towels don't blow away. And don't fall off the boat.

You haven't tried the wine.

I'm taking valium

-and everything tastes awful. - What is it now?

The Monteluz Park.

We put it up for bidding

and we gave it to COFRASA.

They're usually generous. Not this time?

Yeah, 500 million.

What more do you want?

To keep it.

Not spend it on expropriating a house

in the old quarter. The damn lady

-lives on the Rivera block. - Where the mall is going.

Where it should be.

And the owner doesn't want to sell.

She's dying to.

But the house is protected

by cultural heritage

and the opposition will jump all over me.

Let's demolish it.

The house?

Shit, Llorens. You're an urban advisor.

You know what a protected structure implies.

We're City Hall.

We can make up a report saying the structure is unsafe

even if it isn't.

- And demolish it? - That's what usually happens

when people try to save a building in ruins.

The opposition would definitely be suspicious.

Even if the owner confirms it's unsafe

and we agree to maintain the fagade?

Inside the mall.

A pretty fagade inside a mall,

how charming.

You just made 500 million.

Let's play cards.

- A shark! - What is that?

There you have it.

He's been saving my ass for two years.

My client invokes his right to not testify.

Very well. Mr. Llorens,

you have quite a home.

Can you tell me how someone

on a councilman's salary of 50,000 euros

can afford 47 works of art,

Roman and Egyptian antiques,

limited edition cars,

more than six kilos of jewels...?

I repeat, my client won't testify.

I thought they'd come back.

How did it go?

They were leaving when I got here. Fine, I guess. They were angry.

Let me.

Thank you, Eladio.

- And the others? - At home. I can't get enough.

I wanted to talk to the numbers guy.

Can you talk to me?

Do you know if the salaries went out?

They should go through next week, but the accounts are blocked.

Right...

Eladio, this one is heavy too.

Eladio?

What happened to Collado...

It's too bad.

And now they arrest my father.

The bad things are piling up, huh, Emilio?

You're better stop reading the papers for a few days.

Your father's gonna take a beating.

I know him better than you, I know he's no saint.

But I can only imagine the rest.

I imagine he has to do with Collado.

Silvia...

Ask your father.

Save him the pain.

Your father tried to help him.

A few months ago

Collado met Irina,

a hooker.

Go on.

It's under the name Monica Soto.

- Here's your key. - Thank you.

Mr. Hoffman told me to call him.

That's okay, I want to go to the room.

All right. Enjoy your stay.

Here, let me.

Hello, can I help you?

Monica.

Monica.

It's okay.

Come on,

Monica.

We're all very sorry about what happened.

You want me to stay?

What are you doing?

It's 241.

The key.

Call us if you need anything.

You made me disobey your father.

I hope you don't get used to it.

I was going to kill you after I told you.

Give me a cigarette, I'll kill myself.

- Have you got one? - Yeah, around here somewhere.

Thanks.

Tell him I want to see him.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything.

COAST OF MISENT, 1998

I can see you don't get out of the office much.

I've always been clumsy with this stuff.

No, I mean because you're a good advisor.

Ayuso drowns in a glass of water.

When he became Mayor he was on top of the world.

Now he doesn't even show at the meetings.

The job is too big for him.

When everything is a problem for someone,

the problem is usually him.

Don't you think?

Don't worry.

These things need to be thought through.

What's wrong?

I threw up.

Go on, help her.

Here.

Yes?

Hi.

No, I wasn't home last night.

What?

Wait, hold on a second. Turn on the TV.

The Mayor, Luisa Bermejo, the City Planner, Manuel Llorens

and one of the builders, Ruben Bertomeu.

The government has decided not to form a commission to investigate,

saying it's all a misunderstanding.

Judicial authorities, however,

have expressed their concern about the building scandals

in the last few days.

You're leaving?

I have to work.

Okay, anytime.

Okay.

I'm here.

Okay, bye.

Who was it?

A reporter friend.

Do you know who that is?

No.

The detainees are suspected

of corruption, bribery, urbanistic fraud

and pocketing illegal commissions worth 20 million euros.

The investigation was initiated in collaboration

with the District Attorney's Special Environmental Division.

Sources close to the investigation said Wednesday...

The case is based on possible irregularities related

to licenses granted to building promoter...

Take that up.

...this real estate deal has also been linked

to laundering large amounts of undeclared income.

The elaborate network of illegal activity was detected

thanks to the confession of one of Ruben Bertomeu's collaborators.

His testimony helped police

identify those involved

and Ruben Bertomeu as primarily responsible

for the transactions.

The operation began this morning, when police conducted a search

of City Hall...

Thanks for coming.

I couldn't leave you alone.

I'm getting used to it.

I'm still waiting for somebody to say, "How are you?"

How are you?

I'm dying to tell Silvia I'm going to be her stepmother.

Ruben proposed.

You were right to keep it secret.

They'd have treated me with more respect.

Forget the fairy tales. The stepmother gets all the fame,

but in the real world the stepchildren are the bastards.

They don't even feel sorry for me.

That's the last thing you need.

Who can I rely on, Marta?

I don't even have Ruben anymore.

Rely on yourself.

I don't know what to do in this situation.

You're proving them right.

They see you as a little girl, because that's what you are.

Do you need anything? I always bring my checkbook.

No, no.

Wave some cash.

The accounts won't be blocked forever, right?

Have they blocked yours too?

Mine?

I don't have any.

Monica, I'm sorry to say this, but it's probably the best thing

that could happen to you.

You'll have no choice but to think about yourself.

I'LL BE BACK LATE, HAVE DINNER WITHOUT ME. -MOM

Get some rest.

Thanks.

- Where were you? - Taking care of your ladies.

Monica is at the Mirador.

- And Silvia? - At home.

She was nervous. We talked and she's calmer now.

Answers are the only thing that calm her down.

We talked about Collado, nothing more.

- I said to keep them out of it. - She left me no choice.

When you have no choice,

make one up. That's what I pay you for.

Silvia thought you were behind the Collado thing.

She was very glad to hear you're the good guy.

Fuck you.

Nothing will happen to her for knowing.

Nothing was going to happen to me either and look where you've got me.

I need a lawyer, not an optimist.

Make this the last time.

Any nonsense can sink us.

I'll try to be pessimistic.

Good, then you'll see stuff coming.

Counselor, you know you can't talk to your client

until he's given a statement. Come with us.

- You're not going to testify. - I know.

What bastards.

They're keeping the paintings too?

They can go ahead, they were a fucking eyesore.

Just the paintings are enough to put you away.

- Collecting isn't a crime. - Sure.

You're not a collector, just an investor with no salary.

My salary wouldn't cover a lawyer like you either.

So stop busting my balls and get me out of this

or I'll use a public defender.

If I'm that screwed it doesn't matter who defends me.

Look, Manuel.

There are a lot of people here who have been living in style.

You're one of many.

Why does that help me?

Because you can spread the blame.

Unless you want all this on your shoulders.

Well, gentlemen? Enjoying the afternoon?

Thanks for coming. We didn't know what to do.

What's the problem?

We don't know if we should keep working.

There's work to be done, right?

We've all heard Mr. Bertomeu is in trouble.

On TV they said he's in jail and his accounts are frozen.

No, no. Mr. Bertomeu is not in jail.

This situation is temporary.

We placed orders. Who'll pay for the materials?

What you need to do is get to work, damn it!

Why don't you do it?

Go ahead.

Schmuck.

Back off!

Back off, damn it!

Clown!

COAST OF MISENT, 1998

You were good at it.

How is Marisol?

Almost done throwing up. Rosa's with her.

Did you think about what I said?

You're right.

Ayuso needs to go.

Thanks.

Find me a substitute in the party.

Someone who doesn't want to be Mayor and who needs good advice.

Don't give me that look.

Being Mayor is a cemetery. It leads straight to nowhere.

Your hands are tied and everybody's watching.

It means being a politician,

which is only a short-term fix.

We can't rely on voters,

we need to be above that.

We need to endure, no matter who wins.

You want me to work for you?

You'll be City Planner.

I was thinking more like Mayor.

You'll handpick the Mayor.

That's even better.

A cigar is very personal. Everybody lights his own.

Get out of here.

Get out or I'll hit you.

Get out of here.

Okay, take it easy. Let's talk...

Tell your father

I'll bash his teeth in if he keeps talking shit.

It was all his idea, I swear.

What a shitty son!

Tomorrow you're gone. I don't want to see any of you.

Okay, okay!

And thank your dad when he changes his testimony.

He'll have saved your life twice.

Please, don't hurt me.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry.

Really.

How is he?

Come on, sit down.

It's great to see you.

I cry all the time now.

How's the hospital?

If you want him transferred, let me know...

No, that's okay.

We're fine. They're taking good care of him.

Who did you leave the kids with?

With my mother.

She says they're unbearable.

They don't know anything.

Did he tell you what happened?

He says some Russians tried to kill him.

But that it's all your father's fault.

You can't believe him. Collado is like a son to my father.

Ruben never was a good father.

That's what you always said.

He's emotionally useless, but he's no psychopath.

Clear things up with Collado.

I saw the news, Silvia.

About your father.

I know you're here to help him.

Also to see you, but you're right, I could have come sooner.

I don't think Ramon lied.

Your father's been doing whatever he wants for years.

And your husband with him.

Then they both got what they deserve, right?

Have you got what you deserve, Lola?

And your children?

You've been left with nothing.

If he changes his mind, my father will give you back the company.

In both your names, so you won't be left with nothing.

I don't like you using my kids to convince me, Silvia.

You shouldn't do that.

Even if it works.

To the airport, please.

COAST OF MISENT, 1998

- How lucky! - Too bad.

Pay UP-

Let's see.

I've got nothing. I didn't even reach 300.

One less.

And you guys?

What's your score?

Two less, and this one you owe me.

"And you?

Tute is the only card game I know.

I don't want you to run again.

I don't need your blessing to run.

My blessing is my money, and of course you need it.

I talked to Madrid

and they're fine with a change.

People suspect a mayor more every year in office.

Luisa Bermejo. What do you think?

She's popular

and has no backbone.

We'll hold a rally and you can pass the torch.

She sings your praises and you go out to an ovation.

You want a singer? I know a talent agent.

You're an ungrateful bastard.

Unless, of course,

you have something better to be grateful for.

Not bad, huh?

From advisor to councilman.

All in one trip.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Passengers flying to Gibraltar, please board immediately at gate 5.

Hi, this is Monica. Please leave a message.

Emilio.

- How is he? - I don't know yet.

And Silvia?

She's not picking up. ls Monica here?

Her cell is off.

The hotel says she checked out.

- Right. - Juan.

Antonio.

How's Ruben?

He had a mild heart attack.

Probably from the stress.

He's better now.

- He just needs rest. - Had this happened before?

In 30 years he's only had migraines and indigestion.

Antonio.

A heart attack his first night in jail...

- A mild one. - Whatever.

But being locked up endangers him.

Stress can be treated with medication.

Ruben won't respond well to treatment.

I'll do what I can.

I know.

You can't go in.

- He's asleep. - Yeah.

- He had a rough night. - I'll leave it here.

- See you later. - Bye, thanks.
