Original subtitles

No, no, no. You listen to me.

I already spoke with Isidro.

I don't want you to call me next week.

You were going to call me last week.

I don't want anyone to call me. Understand?

I want you to fix it once and for all,

then call me to tell me it's done.

That's the only call I want.

So yes, I do want you to call me.

What?

No, don't put me on hold.

Don't even think about putting me on hold.

What?

Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Yes, I know you can't do anything,

but you're going to talk to whoever can. Tell them one thing.

Tell them I've been

doing my part for two months,

and that's no small thing.

Okay? So either you fix the thing with my mother,

or I tell Isidro to find another poor bastard to look after Pilar.

What? No, listen...

Damn it!

God damn it!

Leave me! Leave me!

HER MAJESTY

SUPREME COURT

This is why I am convinced

that the stronger the institutions are,

the more robust the democracy is.

And finally,

I want to thank Her Royal Highness,

Pilar de Salazar,

for her strong support of the judiciary.

The judicial year is now open.

Well, how was it?

It wasn't bad.

Do we leave or what?

This time we didn't come for the photo.

It would be good if you stayed to receive them.

To receive them?

You understand me now.

I received them earlier.

Not that reception. The other reception.

- I didn't know I'd be sucking up to them. - If I told you, we wouldn't be here.

What if I leave now.

You'll see.

It's not my father who has problems with the law.

What do I have to do?

You have to visit with both groups,

but spend more time with the conservatives than the progressives.

- How can there be progressive judges? - Wel...

They're progressive for judges.

Shouldn't I focus on those ones?

No, because the progressives with think

you're sucking up to them on behalf of your father.

- Which you've asked me to do. - The conservatives won't notice.

You know what's wrong, Guillermo? I don't like doing these things at all.

Well...

If you want to stop doing them, it's best to do this today.

How long do I have to stay?

- Go with the flow. - Oh, go with the flow.

Oh, it could be.

He's hidden...

Supremes in white...

- Hello. Hello. - Your Highness!

I just wanted to wish you a happy judicial season.

Thank you very much.

And to remind you that your work is fundamental to the harmony of our country.

Your Highness, allow me to say, on behalf of all of us,

that we're dismayed by your father's situation.

I can imagine. He asked me to convey his apologies for not being here today.

Tell him we miss him.

Of course, I'll tell him.

- And we hope to see him next year. - Of course.

And on behalf of Eloy.

Eloy?

It's tradition to go to Eloy to eat with your father every year.

I didn't know we were going to eat today.

No, we won't be eating.

No? Why not? Is something wrong?

No, nothing, but we're...

We didn't want to bother you.

Bother me? How so?

We thought that you

wouldn't feel like spending the afternoon with people like us.

My schedule is wide open this afternoon, so...

Well, it would honor us greatly, Highness.

- So where can we go? - Eloy, right?

Eloy without a reservation...

Come on, you're judges.

Well, we'll see... We'll see.

Who was talking earlier with the northern district commissioner?

I was, about the shipment the came into Barajas yesterday.

- Should I call him? - Of course.

- Yes. - You have to eat, right?

Commissioner, good morning!

I need you to do a raid and clear out

the restaurant Eloy in the Salamanca neighborhood.

ELOY GRILL

"Man, you can never be completely sure!"

Very nice, but I beat you.

Attention.

Fifteen years ago,

I put a Basque rock band in jail

without understanding what their lyrics said.

Aren't there translators at the National High Court?

Yes, but I don't trust anyone who learns Basque.

Of course. Of course.

In the seventies,

I put one in jail for treating me like you.

- Bravo! - Bravo!

Someone once called me "Your Worship."

One of those new-money drug dealers.

I was about to get myself a sword and kill him right there.

- To the Golden Age of Spain! - To the Golden Age of Spain!

- And to the Army of Flanders! - "Your Worship!"

- Like one of those comic books! - Definitely!

- Oh! - Guillermo.

Be careful, Judge.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't call me "Judge," man.

Call me Moure, no need for formalities.

What?

How are you doing?

Serving the Crown is always an honor.

That's why you said no at first.

It took me by surprise.

If anyone can put Pilar on the right track, it's you.

- Sure. - The problem is going to be the terms.

What terms?

Moure...

What's wrong?

It's not clear that Alfonso will be home for Christmas.

What's being published, about the accounts and such.

It's just the tip of the iceberg.

And... you can't put it on ice?

We're trying, but it's the foreign press.

- Sure. - With the English and the Germans,

we can't do anything about it.

- They'll do their thing. - They could be errors.

Right? Accounting errors, I mean.

Alfonso received 73 million euros from dictatorships.

Well, there are dictatorships and there are dictatorships.

Yes, but these ones kill Spanish journalists, Guillermo.

Take it as a possible promotion.

From the princess's secretary to Chief of the Royal Household.

- You can accept it or not. - I won't be there very long.

I told you it's a short term.

- Moure... - Yes?

How did you know I said no?

They called to ask if there was a way to rectify your mother's situation.

And it can be rectified?

These things take time.

I'd better get back, or they'll think something's going on between us.

Things have to be seized in time.

Well, of course.

Or do what I did with the puppet.

What puppet?

See?

This is our job too.

Making sure people don't find out certain things.

Valencia, two or three years ago.

Two weeks left of the Fallas, ten days.

I get a tip that in a garage in Alboraya

they're making a puppet of you, mocking you.

And what I did was stop it just before it came out.

It didn't go anywhere.

Nobody found out. There it is, gathering dust.

- You just stopped it? - That doesn't seem like much?

Man. Remember what I did to Chico Hard.

To whom?

The rapper.

One of those tough guys who's always saying,

"My father was laborer, we lived next to the tracks..."

- Where was this guy from? - Vallecas. They're all from Vallecas.

The situation was that my daughter loved him

and was always listening to that shit. I couldn't take any more.

I crossed my fingers and thought,

"Please God, on his next album, let him glorify terrorism,

or slander someone."

Of course!

It was much better!

Offenses against the Crown!

I gave him eight years! One for each verse!

So what did the song say?

Never mind, Highness.

So nice to see you, Antonio.

Eloy! Maestro!

How are you? Everything is terrific.

Sorry about the raid, but, well,

the occasion called for it.

- Round of applause. - I'm glad.

- Thank you. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Do you need something, Highness?

- I'd like to be alone. - You can smoke wherever you like.

No, everyone out.

Leave us for a moment, please!

Let's go.

Thank you. You too.

...of your own idyllic world.

Out in the night, she reigns with no minders.

Alcohol, drugs and orgies, she's living on debauchery.

The people are tired, you do what you want.

You're painting your country and its landscapes grey.

Cousins fucking cousins over generations,

it's normal for you to go out with a fucking imbecile.

Making mistakes in every color,

the future Queen of Cups but not of the Spaniards.

Cousins fucking cousins over generations,

it's normal for you to go out with a fucking retard.

Making mistakes in every color,

the future Queen of Cups but not of the Spaniards.

Never set foot on the ground, off in your own reality

living in luxury, spending other people's money.

Never been hungry, what the fuck do you care?

Highness?

The people fill your cup...

Highness...

I didn't know where you were.

Sorry, my head was pounding.

I thought you were having fun.

That's how it has to look, right?

You're doing a very good job, Pilar.

Hello? May I?

What is it?

Some of them are going.

- They're leaving. - All right.

The rest of us are talking about one last round. What's your plan?

Plan for what?

Shall we go to the duplex or what?

- No, we're leaving too. - What duplex?

Your father's. In previous years we've ended up at his apartment.

I think, given the time...

- Okay. I'll go see what we're doing. - All right.

Your father has a lot of apartments.

It's normal.

He has two palaces.

Why would he want apartments. It's not that normal

If we leave that way we can skip the goodbyes.

What does he use them for?

For discretion.

So that I don't find out?

- More so that Spain doesn't find out. - About what?

There are some things you should ask your father about, not me.

I want to see the apartment.

We've already done what we needed to do here...

Then leave if you want.

Okay, who's coming to the duplex?

- I am! - Me!

- You? Let's go then. - Come on, let's go.

- Let's go. - All right.

Let's go.

The session is adjourned. Let's go!

Where's Maroto? He came last year.

Yeah, but he's been disbarred.

- What for? - Obstruction of justice. Got out of hand.

These stairs are more difficult for me every time.

I'm so excited I'm taking it three steps at a time!

Look, I give up.

Come on, there's a whiskey waiting up there that's older than you are.

- Come on, kid! - Okay...

- Come on, Aberasturi! - Let's go!

Aberasturi!

Aberasturi!

This way.

Aberasturi!

- Do you have keys? - No.

So?

That one's the apartment.

This one it two NIC agents, just in case.

Highness.

Open it up for us.

Rushing is for thieves and bad bullfighters, Aberasturi.

It's different, isn't it?

Different?

It's been like this since the good old days.

I need to go to the bathroom right now.

That prostate's a bitch.

I don't know how you deal with those big trials.

With a lot of recesses.

They've redecorated, it looks different to me.

Because previous years you were in worse shape.

This year you're not bad.

Who are these people?

NIC put those there.

The idea is that if a burglar or someone gets in,

they'll just think it's a normal apartment.

- NIC is on top of everything. - Not everything, there's no ice.

Manuel! Ice!

The neighbor.

The one from NIC.

Yeah, there are microphones all over.

Don't worry, what happens in Jarana stays in Jarana.

- Jarana? - The code name of the apartment, Highness.

Sorry.

I was just bringing it.

If you need limes, I can go to the store.

Damn! Twenty-five year-old Scotch!

Your father won't mind, right?

Do whatever you want.

Can we call him? What time is it in Mexico?

No need to ask him.

Highness...

Can we talk for a moment?

It's a bachelor pad.

And you knew it was a bachelor pad.

- Your father is a single man. - Widower.

He's young.

Why didn't he tell me?

Well...

I suppose a father and his daughter don't talk about those things.

Guillermo, when did he buy it?

Well... I don't know the exact date.

I don't want to know the exact date. I want to know if my mother was alive.

Your chambers are a joke.

- I'm not going to court tomorrow. - You won't be doing any work.

- You'll see me there tomorrow. - Pain in the ass...

Sorry. We thought no one was here.

It's no problem. What's that?

I don't usually do this.

Me neither. I don't like cocaine.

This is something else. From yesterday's seizure in Barajas.

It's got no impurities. It's not cut with anything.

It's healthier than a Red Bull.

- But I'll throw it out if they like... - No, why?

I don't know...

Want some?

I'll have to try it.

That's all you needed to say, Highness!

Well...

Give me a bill?

Sure.

Here you go, Highness.

You can see that it's untouched.

They didn't have any time.

Highness...

Can we talk?

If you're in any condition for it, I need to tell you something.

- I didn't do any of it. - No?

What do you want?

Let's go to the balcony.

- Why? It's cold. - There are no microphones.

What?

Your father's situation is more serious than we thought.

He has more apartments like this?

No. About his trip.

It's more complicated than Isidro is telling us.

Did one of these guys tell you?

More things are coming out.

Well, stop them.

They're being published abroad, in Europe.

- Stop them anyway! - You know it doesn't work like that.

Then what?

Your father is going to have to abdicate.

I can't.

- Not yet! - I don't know if you have a choice.

Do you think I'm ready?

Honestly? No.

I'm just not ready!

I don't know how much time there is,

but you'd better get used to the idea.

- Spain isn't ready either! - To say the least.

They don't get to choose either.

Some people will protest, but the same ones as always.

Those people are against my father. Everyone is against me.

Pilar, Pilar, Pilar...

Pilar, the important thing now...

What you have to focus on is improving the situation.

Okay? Full stop.

- My father's situation? - Nothing can be done about that.

I'm referring to you. Your situation.

Me...

And you?

No...

I do get to choose...

I'm sick of this!

- Man, what are you doing! - Go, go!

- That puppet. - Yes?

It's gathering dust, right?

I think so, yes.

Where?

I'm talking to you!

In Getafe, I guess.

Why? What's in Getafe?

Look at the memories!

I'm sure that book is here that I seized right after I got my seat.

Damn, feels like just yesterday.

What book?

About the coup d'etat. I gave the author two years.

I'm sure that interview with Alfonso is here.

Remember?

Which? Which one?

Look, here it is.

You stopped this one, didn't you, Moure?

I did, and it got me a full week at the palace of the King of Morocco.

Look! The poster from the Bilbao celebrations in 97.

Damn! Sixteen arrested all at once.

Why isn't all of this destroyed?

- It would be unconstitutional. - No, I'm asking seriously.

I don't know.

It's been done this way forever.

Are there many things of mine?

Each member of the royal family has their own section.

Yours isn't the most scandalous.

Anyone would think so, with the reputation I have.

It's just because you're the youngest.

PRIDE AND SATISFACTION

LOVELY LATIN LOVER!

THE KING HAS ABOUT 2500 LOVERS

I want a list of everything there is,

with the full names of everyone who made each thing.

Many of them are dead.

There are caricatures that Goya made of your great-great-grandfather.

Do you want to see them?

Mother of God.
