(door closes)

How are you?

They told me we have two hours.

Vargas refuses to see me.

They have closed the doors of the ministry to us

as if we were plagued. And what did you expect?

Now is when they least want to appear to be taking sides.

It's that they have to take sides, Luis.

Ester is still the daughter of a diplomat.

Since I was arrested I ceased to exist for them.

They don't want to get splashed. But you are innocent.

They sent you alone to Bangkok, they spied on you, they forgot about you

and now they turn their back on you. I screwed up and got caught, period.

We have lost. Are you going to give up now?

Luis, you can't give up now.

Your lawyer keeps fighting.

We can still get your charges lowered.

Claudia, leave it, this is the end.

Have you talked to Esther?

No.

I'm going to try again today, but I

have to wait for daylight in Thailand.

It...

I don't know if they're going to let me talk to her.

I'm trying all day.

Claudia, nothing will happen to her.

If I have to spend 20 years of my life in jail, I

will, I won't be the first innocent to go to prison,

but in no way will I allow Ester to spend

the rest of her days in a cell in Bangkok.

And if they sentence her to death?

That's not gonna happen.

Claudia, that's not going to happen.

You do not know.

You still don't forgive me, right?

You will never forgive me.

(IN THAI) "The mobile phone she

calls is turned off or out of range."

Carlos, can you tell where you've been?

I went to the hotel and they told me that you had left, where are you?

"Hello". Has Carlos arrived?

-No, "madame", Carlos has not come.

"Thank you".

Claudia, we still haven't heard from Carlos.

Where were you? I have called you.

I have not noticed. He needed to get some air.

Do you think it's a good time to disappear?

Calm down, Luis, okay? Calm down.

Has something happened in this time? No, right?

Something may have happened to Carlos.

He has worked with us, and if something

has happened to him, it could be our fault.

And Ester is crazy, she doesn't know where to call anymore.

Where is she? She's upstairs in the study.

OK. She hasn't gone to work. One moment.

I have to tell you something.

Already... They have already appointed a new

consul, in fact, she is about to land in Bangkok.

She is Veronica.

Vargas called me a while ago, I swear I had no idea.

But as soon as I found out, I called you and you didn't...

But if it's only been four days since Bernardo died, they can't

name someone. They have done it and without consulting me.

And because...

precisely Veronica? Why precisely her?

They have not given me any explanation. Well, ask for it, Luis, damn it!

They are laughing at us to our own face.

They are laughing at me. Claudia...

Claudia what? Claude, please. I'm sorry.

For me it is not good news.

Because? It is the first time that there is such a rush

to fill a position. (LAZARO) "And not just any one."

No, the new consul.

These both promise transparency and you see,

The appointment of Verónica Galdós

was already signed by the Minister.

They are very scared with Bangkok.

Why hasn't Salinas been fired? "Because they are

new, Eduardo, because they have been four days

and it is difficult for them to admit that they have been wrong".

With how easy it would have been to

fire him and for you to take over, but no.

Has that come to be put on the table?

Who the hell banned me? Who? Someone has banned me.

No, no, no, not officially.

you see, it seems

"You don't have enough category

for these 'pijipis', but be patient".

Already. Now it will cost them more to throw it out.

Tomorrow present her credentials. Why Verónica Galdós,

"If it is not from the rope of him?". From his rope maybe not,

but from the ambassador's it seems so.

What do you mean?

Let's see, Edward.

Don't you know that she and Salinas had an affair?

when you were together in Mexico D.F.?

As? You are making it up.

"Ha. Ask anyone who has worked there.

Everyone knows it ". And they have put her mistress.

Fuck me, what was missing. (LAZARO LAUGHS)

Thank you very much for the call, Lázaro, thank you.

(FATIMA) Problems in paradise?

It's been a long time since this stopped being a paradise, Fatima,

and it's been a long time since you stopped caring about my problems.

You're wrong, of course I care, especially if they affect me.

Do they affect me?

Where is Patricia? Don't know. She has not come today.

Here I bring you what she asked me for. What time does the new consul arrive?

The ambassador has gone to look for her at the airport.

She will have landed by now.

Very good.

Welcome to Bangkok.

Are you sure you're glad to see me?

Thank you.

Why haven't you told me anything? Because I did not know it.

It has all been very improvised.

I've come to help you, Luis. That is if they don't kick me out first.

I don't know if it helps me much that you are here.

Vargas used exactly those words:

"Go assess the situation."

If we don't find something that

justifies a complaint against Eduardo,

we will have to forget

The slogan is to avoid more scandals.

That is, you have been sent to

sweep the garbage under the rug.

They have taken a long time to do the usual.

I suppose there must be a reason why I haven't

been informed of your arrival a little longer.

That was my thing. By?

So you wouldn't ask Vargas not to come.

Did you tell Claudia that we saw each other in Madrid?

She knows it.

-"Veronica Galdos"

she is charged in this same case, accused

of acting in collusion with her husband.

You already knew her personally before her arrival in Bangkok,

It is not like this? Yes, Your Honor.

I was assigned as a correspondent in

Washington and sometimes went to Mexico.

My husband was the second in command at the embassy and Verónica

worked there. Do you know if she committed any illegality

during her stay in Mexico? I do not have information.

Do you know if she maintained contact with her husband from that

destination until his incorporation...? I can not tell him.

Do you know if it was she who applied for the post of consul?

I don't know, Your Honor.

Don't know.

I know that it may seem annoying and I apologize, but

understand that it is necessary. I found out that Veronica

she was going to be the new consul when she was traveling to Bangkok.

It was not good news, I assure you.

Did she or her husband tell you what her mission was when she was appointed?

What does she mean?

Her appointment was entirely irregular.

They skipped all the usual protocols, and I wonder:

because? Could it be that Verónica Galdós came

to Bangkok to carry out some special assignment?

I had seen photos, but I imagined it differently.

As? with less light,

and it's hard for me to see you as an ambassador. Me too.

I haven't been that long.

I don't know why, but after Mexico, I thought

you were going to leave the race forever.

I've thought about it so many times...

Elena! How long!

I did not know you were here. I just found out you were coming.

Did you know each other? Yes. We work together in Bucharest

Many years ago. -Not so many.

Not so many. -It's true. Not so many.

Welcome to Bangkok. -Thank you.

-Ambassador, we have received a letter from his majesty.

Of his majesty? Yes. Apologies for the delay,

but they have been forced to delay once again

the delivery of credentials. -Aren't you officially an ambassador?

Well no. And at this rate, I don't know if he's going to make it that day.

-Here is the consular office.

And all the procedures are done by María Teresa.

María Teresa Pereda, Verónica Galdós, the new consul.

-Nice to meet you. Maite. -How are you?

How long have you been working with Bernardo?

-Three years. We arrived almost at the same time here, in Thailand.

It has been a very hard blow for everyone.

-I'm sorry. I hope to be up to him.

will you accompany me? Yeah.

Thank you very much, Check.

I'm in contact with the Royal Police.

They confirm that Carlos Guillén does not have his mobile activated.

The last communication detected is from yesterday

afternoon, here in Bangkok, around this embassy.

-It is clear that he does not want you to find him.

Hopefully that's it.

I prefer to think that he disconnected it

than that someone tries to erase his traces.

-If he travels through Thailand, he won't take long to leave some trace.

Good. Thank you. Keep me informed. Welcome.

-Thank you. -Mister.

-This has a bit of a funereal air, doesn't it?

He's efficient and always does what you tell him

to do, which can't be said for everyone here.

We are about to enter the dark zone.

Are you ready?

Looking forward to meet you.

(Hits)

Ready, counselor? I present to you the new consul.

Veronica Galdos. A pleasure. Eduardo Marañón.

I've heard of you. I also from you.

Nice to meet you. Delighted.

What I have heard from you is very good.

I don't know if what you've heard from me is so.

The boss is always badmouthed.

He exaggerates. We are very diplomatic outside the

embassy, ​​but inside we like to take out the axe.

And what have they told you about me, if you may ask?

Well, that you have a lot of hand

within the ministry, although precisely

It is not on the rope of the new Government.

And that you two already knew each other, right?

From Mexico City.

Yes Yes.

Yes. I was second in command at the

embassy and she worked at the consulate.

Already. I love the D.F. Well, I love Mexico in

general, a country of contrasts, right? It can be wild

it can be romantic... Anyway, I wish you the

best of luck in your new destination. Thank you.

Bangkok is a complicated city if you don't know which doors to knock on.

For what you need...

Ambassador, I've heard that your son-in-law hasn't been heard from yet.

I hope nothing serious has happened.

With everything you told me, I was expecting a Jesús Gil,

not someone like that. He has something strange in his eyes.

He knows about us and he wants us to know that he knows it.

By now, he probably knows the whole world.

In D.F. they knew it too.

If you saw how they looked at me when you left...

I'm sorry. Already. Don't worry.

He doesn't surprise me.

Is incredible. How can he have done what you

say he has done and be so calm in his office?

I guess the first time you steal you feel ashamed,

the second time too. The third... and less.

And in the end there will be even those who get used to it.

I would feel so guilty I couldn't sleep.

Does feeling guilty keep you up at night?

Yeah?

I'm sure Eduardo is sleeping soundly.

-Excuse me. He has called me the police.

There is news about Carlos Guillén.

"What kind of news?"

Do the police know anything? Have they found it?

"They know that a couple of hours ago I was in Phuket."

And why do they know?

"Has anyone seen it?"

He has withdrawn money with his credit card.

"Oh God.

I hope nothing happened to him.

Don't say anything to Esther for now."

Esther has as much right as we

"to be informed".

Wait. Villar has gone to the police station to see what else she can find out.

And Veronica?

"Has she arrived and she?"

Yes Yes Yes. She is here with me.

Good. Well, she let you work.

If you know something, tell me, okay? Whatever.

Yes of course. See you later. "See you later".

(IN THAI) "The mobile phone she

calls is turned off or out of range."

(IN ENGLISH) "The mobile phone you are

calling is turned off or out of coverage."

"Carlos, I don't know what you're up to, but Luis

has the entire embassy looking for you. And Ester...

Well, Ester doesn't even know what to think. You can't just disappear like that.

When you hear this message, call me."

(Hits)

Minister, do you have a moment? Yes of course.

The transfer request must be signed.

Do you sign it or do I pass it on to the ambassador?

I don't know if it's urgent. What transfer request?

Sarah!

Hasn't he told you?

I'm sorry, but I feel obliged to interrupt them.

Sorry, we're about to finish.

We have received an urgent summons from

the European Union, so if you don't mind...

Fine, okay.

If you have any problems, I leave the card

with the phone number and email. I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Does this seem normal to you? Sarah.

Why did you request the transfer?

(LAUGHS) Why do I have to explain myself to you?

Sorry about last night, I didn't go, but it's not to ask for a transfer.

Eduardo, I'm sick of your stands and lies.

You will have to change the toy, my patience has run out.

You know that yesterday I was solving very important issues.

I can imagine... You can't leave me alone now.

You're not alone.

You have your little woman.

Sara, this morning I have been solving some issues

that they can make up for last night.

Yes, sure. Give me that paper, I don't need you at all.

The ambassador will sign it. You're not hearing me right.

That's for you to sign. What is this?

Contract for the purchase of an apartment in Bangkok.

For you, but if you want we can put it in the name of both of you.

We'll have to live somewhere.

Then you look up the address and see where it is.

You're not trying to buy me? No.

Already.

By the way, have you seen Patricia?

These two businesswomen were looking for her and she hasn't shown

up at the office all day and she doesn't pick up the phone either.

I would worry. Thank you.

(The door opens)

Patricia?

(loud music)

What are you doing?

They're watching me. They have it all tapped.

-Who? -You have to go.

It's dangerous to be seen with me. -You've been smoking.

-Do not say foolishness. I'm serious.

It's Eduardo, isn't it? (PATRICIA CHISTA)

Don't say anything out loud.

-Listen. What do you want to do?

-Make sure there are no microphones.

-But don't you see yourself? Are you afraid.

The same thing that happened to Bernardo.

Please... The only way out of this is

for you to tell me why you're afraid.

Tell me everything you know.

I will not fail you. -Let me. I have to go to the embassy.

Patricia, let's talk.

-I can't miss. They are waiting for me.

Thank you. Good afternoon. -Hello. Good afternoon.

-I come directly from the Police. I bring good news.

An ATM camera image in Patong, Phuket.

The moment when Carlos Guillén takes out some money a few hours ago.

-Then it's okay? -In the photograph there is no one else

nor does it give the impression that he is acting under an obligation.

-And why doesn't he answer me?

The police are going to stop the search.

There's really nothing to indicate that he's in danger.

Carlos told you that he had some friends in Phuket.

Maybe he is with them. -I don't know who they are, he didn't tell me.

I've already tried looking for them, okay?

He goes around and doesn't remember me. What is she about?

At least it's okay.

Thank you Villar.

Do you mind if I come in for a drink of water?

With this heat I come dying of thirst.

Clear.

ambassador.

What I really want is to talk to you.

You see... I've done some research on Carlos Guillén.

What I am going to say I prefer to do without his daughter being in front of me.

Clear. follow me.

Sit down.

These are the documents that Carlos Guillén presented to the

Foreign Ministry so that they could prepare his contract.

I've made inquiries in the hope of

shedding some light on his whereabouts.

And he has found something?

This is your academic resume, for example.

All fake.

He doesn't have a degree in Business Administration, he doesn't

have any master's degree... In fact, he didn't even finish

secondary studies. If my daughter met him there, in a master's

degree in London. I don't doubt it, she would be there.

But, in fact, they don't know his degree and his father...

Let's say that his father has some problems with the Argentine justice system.

What kind of problems? The list is long:

fraud, embezzlement, forgery...

Police issued a search warrant to Interpol four years

ago. Since then, his whereabouts have been unknown.

Excuse me, I thought it was my obligation to let

you know all this. Sure, sure, I appreciate it.

As you see...

I preferred to tell you instead of

your daughter... or the ambassador.

I am sure that you will know how to handle this information conveniently.

Anything else?

The Patong ATM is not the only place

where Carlos Guillén has used his card.

This morning he paid for a room in a hotel in Hua Hin.

The Shan hotel.

ring a bell? Why should it ring me?

Ambassador, we both know that you lost your passport.

the same night of his arrival in

Thailand in a room of that hotel.

Claudia...

My job is to keep those of us in the embassy safe.

To fulfill my task I must be informed.

And the more information you have, the better for everyone.

I understand.

That's why I want you to know that personal life is none of my business.

Unless it affects the security of the embassy, ​​of course.

What are you trying to tell me?

I have a question to ask you.

If you can answer it, I will close the investigation

and inform the ambassador without going into details;

If not, I will have no choice but to keep looking.

Do you know where Carlos Guillén is right now?

No.

Very good. Thank you so much. I have work.

Don't worry, I already told you:

I do not repair what is not my business.

Leave. Villar,

if he finds out anything else...

I'll let you know first, don't worry.

Thank you.

This is the card to enter the cipher room

and the key to the safe

where we keep the visa labels.

-Thank you.

-"He has come with energy and wanting to remove the papers from the table".

At the consular office they are making

reports, comparisons, statistics...

I don't know how many things he has ordered.

Already.

Many like that, scare the administrators.

She is a very competent woman and earns her salary.

In Bucharest she got everything she wanted.

We have problems.

We have... (TAJANDE) We have.

You, me, this embassy,

Spain.

Let's see, to formalize the contract they ask

me for a Thai partner at 51%. Is the law.

You already have one, don't you? Yes, the usual

idiot, one who comes, signs and takes money for sweets.

But this one doesn't look good.

He doesn't have the endorsements, he doesn't meet the requirements...

They are changing the rules in the middle of the game.

It's fucking illegal! What a fucking mania with screaming.

Not here.

Find me another partner, Eduardo.

I pay you for that.

And if not, you give me back every last penny I've given you.

Let's relax, okay?

I'd better call the king's cousin and

have him recommend someone to us, right?

Do you want to talk to "Don Pimpón" or whatever the hell that guy is called?

Hey? Go ahead.

That one no longer gets on the phone, he already has what he wanted.

Someone else will have found out and he also wants to catch.

How long do we have to find it?

This had to be for yesterday, Eduardo. I explain?

We're going to lose the contract, damn it.

Well, calm down, Patricia will find someone.

You better. For the account that she brings you.

Listen to me, and I'm serious, Eduardo, very seriously.

You don't get me a penny more.

And until I have the official contract in hand,

I won't even give you the time. We are? Paco...

Neither Paco nor hosts!

(The door opens)

(door closes)

(Ringtone)

Patricia, where the hell are you?

How good here!

That? The coffee break?

I like it that way, the Spanish official maintaining

his traditions, even though he is far from home.

Francis Chains. Delighted.

Verónica Galdós, nice to meet you. The new consul

Well, don't get me wrong, but obviously

diplomacy wins a lot with you around here.

I do not understand you. What does it mean?

Mr. Cadenas is about to get the

concession for the new high-speed section.

Well, I've been about to get it for a month, but

this country is harder to crack than they say.

I suppose that the Commercial Office will be

helping him in everything that is in his power.

Yes, I have to come almost every day,

to see if they do me a little case.

By the way, do you already know where you are going to live?

Because I have a contact in Xian Square

who runs some scandalous penthouses.

Personal favor, non-profit, huh?

Here you have to explain everything because they immediately get offended.

Thank you. If I need it, I'll let you know.

Good. We'll see each other around here, although I hope I won't stay long.

My thing is to work hard for a few months, make a lot of money and create wealth.

Ambassador.

I don't know if I want to meet anyone else today.

I've had enough.

Your arrival is making them nervous.

Well, this has only just begun.

ambassador.

Have you discovered something?

Believed that if. I have obtained the addresses of two

companies in Zambrano; one in that tower, on the 43rd floor.

Let's see, has he gone yet? It only has 42 floors.

And the other direction? Something like that.

The street exists, but the number does not exist.

They are companies that are not real, they only serve to move funds.

And you? Have you managed to talk to your contacts?

Not yet. I have never worked in economic journalism.

I don't have great contacts.

It is an impenetrable world, at least for me.

The papers were at Patricia's house.

Have you been able to talk to her? She does not know anything.

She has a letter that Zambrano sent

to the embassy, ​​a kind of business card.

Neither Patricia nor she remembered that she had it. But have you talked to her?

I'm not sure Patricia knows any of this.

By God, she is the director of the Business Office.

Something will have to know, I say. Not necessarily.

Eduardo is the one who moves among

politicians, the one who sells his influences.

Romero, the consul, I remind you that

he is dead, said that both were involved,

and that Patricia was the one in charge of

organizing the framework of the accounts.

He is defending her. I don't defend her.

Why would she defend her?

If we want to bring them before a judge, we have to have proof, right?

And when we have them, go step by step.

I've been earning Patricia's trust for months.

AND? I have to follow carefully, if

I want him to tell me the whole truth.

I only ask for a little more time. Time? What time?

They are much faster than us.

Do you know what will happen if they find out we're on the trail?

That she will not remain a trace of that company.

And it will be your fault.

This is the response to a letters rogatory sent by this court

before the HSBC of Hong Kong. And they do not know the existence

of any account in the name of Zambrano Invest.

existed. They moved the funds and canceled it.

Does the bank have the obligation to provide information from former customers?

That is why we have sent a second commission.

What relationship did that firm have with the embassy?

I prefer not to answer.

There is also talk of the possible involvement

of Patricia Segura, commercial attache.

Do you have any proof of that implication?

I will formulate the question in another way:

Do you know if Patricia Segura was

part of the corruption plot? Yes or no?

-"You have been impeccable before the judge."

Impeccable if what you were looking for is not to be accused.

In that sense, nothing to object to, but if what you want

is to help your husband... Of course I want to help him.

We go to my office, we sit down, we go through

all the testimonies, one by one, together.

We look at who else we can call. Save,

Is there even the slightest chance that

they will find him innocent and release him?

If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't be his lawyer.

And all the money they found and the photos?

Look, my obligation is to defend Luis even

though he was the biggest thief in Spain,

title that is very disputed lately.

But I am convinced that he is innocent.

And you too. And I also. Of course.

That's why I can't understand that you are silent,

that you accept defeat just like that. Because?

You are not telling me the truth.

And if you don't tell me, even if it's so that I understand

you, even if I don't use any of that later in defense...

If you don't tell me, I can't do anything.

Luis doesn't want you to do anything. Because?

Does it have anything to do with your daughter's drug conviction?

Is there anything else I need to know?

Absolutely everything has to do with that.

It is the only thing that matters to us.

Salva, they are going to judge her and they are

going to condemn her unjustly, my daughter, Ester.

Do you want to do something for us? Do it for her.

Do it for her.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs they will be pulling all the strings.

That's a lie, you know that's a lie.

I can't practice there, I don't even know anyone.

Well get her out of there. Do whatever.

(Journalists speaking at the same time)

-The ambassador will continue in jail?

Can you make a statement? - Mrs. Cernuda, please...

-Here. Mrs. Cernuda, please... -Please.

-Here, Mrs. Cernuda, please!

Stop, stop already.

A little more and I send the police to look for you at your house.

You had me worried, Patricia.

Please sit. We need to talk.

OK. No. Easy, relax.

For better or for worse, you and I share many things.

We can't screw it up, especially now.

We have a new consul. As?

Yes, we have a new consul and she is a friend of

the ambassador, so you have to tread carefully.

What do you want?

We need a "thai" partner for Cadenas. A new.

And that you sign within 48 hours. It would be necessary to

speak with the Ministry of Transport to give them some love.

Let's see if you can win them over and make them pay more attention to us.

Are you going to keep watching me?

If I were going to do it, I would tell you no, so you can trust yourself.

And if I wasn't going to, I'd say yes,

so that you behave well. What answer do you prefer?

I'm being very serious, are you going to keep watching me?

No.

Don't let me down now, Patricia, please.

Make the calls.

Do you have a candidate in mind?

I can start looking. Well do it now.

Don't give me orders, Eduardo, we are

partners, I know very well what I have to do.

Your problems with the actions of

Fatima almost cost us a displeasure

and I would never dare to tell you what to do.

Calm down and rest more.

We'll figure it out later.

-Hello.

We can talk? It will only be a moment.

-Yeah. Yes Yes. Let's go outside and look for another place...

-Don't worry, I don't want to take you out of here during your work schedule.

I would feel guilty.

-Come on.

I've come to do you a favor, Sara.

-You will say.

-I understand that Eduardo goes with you,

I understood it from the first time I saw you and he told me about you.

But I think you're the one who hasn't thought it through.

-Why's that?

-You think you know who Eduardo is,

but you have no idea.

-If that's all you've come to tell me...

You're not ready to live with him.

-That's your opinion.

-I have been living with Eduardo for many years.

- Do you know what happens?

that the Eduardo that you know

he is not the same as the one with me.

-Eduardo gets bored quickly with women.

He has always happened to him. But when that happens, when

he gets bored with you and wants to go back to his family,

you will prevent it and then you will become an obstacle.

Do you know what Eduardo does with obstacles?

-Have you finished yet?

-He hasn't told you anything. -What do you have to tell me?

-What do you think, that all those gifts

Do you pay them with your salary from the embassy?

-You prefer that I pay you, right?

-Be careful.

First he will make you sign a piece of paper, then another, and then another.

All unimportant, of course.

And when you want to realize it, you'll be up to your neck in it.

Have you come to scare me?

It's a bit pathetic, don't you think?

Do you really think that this way you are

going to get me to separate from your husband?

You must be very desperate.

-Do what you want, Sarah.

I already have a clear conscience, I have already warned you.

I'm so sorry you're having it like this.

But, in any case, the one who has the final decision is Eduardo.

Don't you think?

What a coincidence, we were just talking about you.

Right, Sarah? -Yeah.

I was telling him the kind of person you are.

I told the girl that she would go home for dinner, will you go?

Of course.

You already know that she loves to have dinner with you.

Don't wait for me, I have an appointment. romantic.

With who?

She -she says it just to make you jealous and she seems to get it.

Don't talk nonsense, Sarah. What were you talking about?

She has come to inform me what a bad person you

are, as if she didn't already know. Already.

What exactly has she told you?

What are you worried about that she might tell me?

Nothing, Sarah. Precisely with you I have no secrets.

I hope so.

-I'm not asking you a favor, I'm doing it to you,

Really, listen to me, believe me. Of course we have guarantees.

The Cadenas group is one of the most important in my country.

No, you have it all in the documentation.

Sunan invests where you say. Richard, wherever you say.

Ok, yes, I understand.

Ok, I await your call.

-Issues?

-Nothing you can fix.

-Look, if you're going to be on edge like this, I'm leaving.

-Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

It's just that I'm dealing with a very

complicated topic and I'm going crazy.

Let's see, tell me, what did you want?

-The ambassador has spoken with an expert in finance,

In Madrid, I suppose, she hasn't told me.

She knows how Zambrano works,

he knows the name of two companies that operate here.

He went with her to her headquarters and knows that they are false.

- Bravo for her. And good? -She hasn't told me.

everything she knows, she mistrusts me.

-She's starting to get to know you. -I tell you that she has discovered something

and she may now be finding evidence against you.

-But what do you want? What have you come for, to scare me?

You can go now. -I've come to tell you.

so that you tell me something so that we can go ahead.

You shouldn't keep playing with fire, very serious

crimes are being committed in this embassy.

- Do you realize what you're doing?

Assuming that's true, you're accusing me of being an accessory.

You are a journalist, if you have something, publish it,

I don't care, I'm not afraid. Now please, I have work.

(WHISPERS) Go away, please, I beg you.

Please please....

-If you change your mind..., I'll be waiting.

What did the journalist want? Nothing.

Nothing?

No.

That is the answer of a liar. What the hell did he want?

He always wants the same thing, something

to send as a report, he lives on it.

Sometimes I wind it up and other times I make myself

beg, so I'm happy with it. For when we have to use it.

Have you found Cadenas's partner?

Yes I think so.

Call him and have him come here, we can't waste time.

I'm calling Paco.

You are not tired? It's a lot of work for the first day.

-For me it's five hours less. But yeah, I'm starting to notice.

I'll notify the official car to take you to the hotel.

What if we go to dinner together?

So you finish putting me up to date and by the way I see something of the city.

I'm sorry, but it's not a good idea.

Yeah, don't worry

As soon as I get to the room I'm sure I'll faint.

Thank you for coming to Bangkok, it

must not have been an easy decision.

I'm going, you know me.

The normal thing would have been to stay at home so calm.

But we have to stop Eduardo's feet.

I've been trying since I got here.

Do you really want to do it? You doubt it?

In Madrid many people think otherwise.

That Eduardo is a great diplomat and that you are

not trustworthy, they expect anything from you.

Who says that? Misses you?

Five years ago they opened a file on you for some statements, two years ago

you resigned from your position in Mexico without giving an explanation.

Suddenly, bad news starts coming from Bangkok, right

after your arrival here. Who are they going to blame?

I'm sick of politicians.

The politicians named you and me. To the two to finger.

I know you.

Or I think I know you.

Tell me, do you really want to kill Eduardo?

I want to denounce the crimes that he has committed.

I want to get evidence, I want to take him before a judge.

And yes... I want to kill him.

From tomorrow.

May you rest too.

Well, then... thanks for bringing me.

-Don't get used to it, I can't bring you every day.

If not, I would have to do the same with everyone.

It's been a bit of a weird day.

-And if we go for a drink and take a walk?

I'll bring you later.

-I don't feel like it.

-So that the day ends well, at least.

I promise you that I behave well.

-See you tomorrow.

Chains. Hello.

Richard Davidson, representative of Sunan Sorachak

and owner of one of the largest hotel companies

from southern Thailand.

Francisco Cadenas, delighted. -Likewise.

Hopefully we will do a lot of business together.

Well, this is almost done, I suppose they have explained it to you.

Clear. It's about taking a doodle.

It's about setting up a joint venture.

according to the percentage established by Thai law.

With effective disbursement of the contributions

in the act of signing. Your represented

You don't have to shell out anything, it's just for face.

Mr. Cadenas transfers the money and it is later returned to him.

Yes, it's an open house, money

goes in one door and out the other.

-Except for the amount that Mr. Sunan stays for the operation.

Clear. fifteen %.

-We had talked about 2.5%.

- Let's talk again.

I have thought...

No, no, no, man, no, no, what a mania to think.

What others think.

Don't think that your head will hurt.

This has to be signed tomorrow.

Here it says that his representative and I are partners.

We both know it's a lie. I'm paying you 2.5%.

3%, if you want, for a signature.

It is very well paid.

-OK, 10%.

Last word.

Do you understand Spanish well?

Yes, I have lived in Spain.

Great, because that way I don't have to repeat it.

3%, you sign, we don't see each other again in fucking life, and

if not, I'll look for another. They are looking for someone else.

-No, wait, wait.

I can explain it to you again and I'm sure you understand.

Please.

Let's see, make it clear to all of us,

above 3% comes out of your pocket.

We are?

What the hell are you telling me?

Who has access to the account keys?

And how much did he get?

Well, when you know, you call me. And I want a fucking explanation.

Not a ten, not a fifteen.

Come on, don't fuck with me.

Is this why you brought me here, to talk to Benny Hill's cousin?

I don't have a machine to make tickets, I don't give away the pasta.

Don't go, we'll have the agreement. A deal my balls!

You agree with Patricia.

As I lose the concession due to paperwork, I go to

the Prosecutor's Office and I send everything to hell.

I sink, Eduardo,

but I take you with me.

Excuse me, one second.

Fuck with Chains, fuck.

It always does the same to us, it goes from zero to a hundred in two seconds.

He hasn't even let the rest of us speak.

What are you playing, Patricia? Richard settles for a

five, but he wants to give it a try, he gets his share too.

If talking gets him anything, well... Richard.

You keep telling me about Richard.

In the meantime, take the money out of my accounts.

As? Someone is taking money from my

account. He knows the access codes.

You have nothing to do with it, no idea. Of course not.

But why would he do something like that?

With what keys, with what keys did they get the money?

Don't test me, Patricia, if you want

to play me at the end I'll find out.

- Is the meeting over? Can I go?

Does anyone think to give me an explanation?

I ask you not to make me doubt you. Only you and I are

left, Bernardo is no longer there. We can't screw it up.

I know, I know very well.

Well, relax, you're very nervous, very nervous, Patricia.

Look at the minister, he got carried away by his nerves

and in the end he ended up at the bottom of the river.

Are you threatening me? I'm not threatening you.

You are very crazy, Eduardo.

Do you really think I'm playing you?

What I think is that I already played them and you don't want me to find out.

Can someone tell me something?

Hello?

(footsteps approach)

Are you coming from work now?

How's everything, okay?

Yeah.

Very good. If you mean Esther, great.

No, I don't mean Esther.

She was asking you. How are you? Are you OK?

Is this tomorrow?

Yes. You have to get him out of Thailand as soon as possible.

Tomorrow. Open it.

All this? For tomorrow?

Are you happy like this?

Yes and you?

We've been very lucky, haven't we?

We've started from scratch

full of debts that dad left us, without having anything.

And he looks now.

Me in this house, you with your company.

Thanks to you. I guess that's what you want to hear, right?

Thanks to you.

But also thanks to me. Because, as far as I know,

I haven't stopped working since I can remember.

I haven't stopped working either.

Do you know what I've been through, Roberto?

Hey?

Do you know what I have endured?

You don't know what I've been through.

There is one thing I haven't told you

and I want to tell you, Roberto, about dad.

Dad didn't get killed in an accident.

Dad took his own life because he couldn't take the pressure.

I found it in...

On the floor of his office.

(SIGHS) He took his own life.

Why have you never told me anything?

He didn't plan on telling you.

But it's not fair that I carry this alone.

No, no, it's not. Because he was my father too.

And your father loved you.

And he loved you very much.

He loved you so much, Roberto...

And I envied you so much...

I still envy you.

I love you very much.

I love you very much. You know it, huh?

No more secrets between the two of us, okay?

He's over.

Please.

You've been lying to me all these years.

I had never come here.

Do you know what the specialty is?

-Here they are all specialties. Haven't you seen the prices?

But don't worry, tonight it's my invitation.

-No no. No, please allow me.

-I want you to see how grateful I am for what you have done for me.

-Simply that you have come is enough for me.

(Mobile)

(Mobile)

-It's Edward.

Tell me darling. I thought you'd be in bed.

Who are you with, Fatima?

Do you really want to know?

"That is why I ask you".

Well...

"I was going to tell you, but as I see"

that you are so interested, I will leave you intrigued.

I know you love those little games, right?

You have convinced someone to give you the

access codes to the accounts. Who are you with?

Eduardo, have you been drinking?

That money will go back to where it was.

"And the one who has helped you will have to leave this country."

Eduardo, things don't happen because you say so.

You think so, but it is not.

"And now I advise you to go to sleep and get some rest."

You know it was me.

-No, you don't know.

If she knew, you wouldn't be sitting there so calm.

Have you already decided what you are going to eat?

(IN THAI) "The mobile phone you are

calling is turned off or out of range."

(IN ENGLISH) "The mobile phone you are

calling is turned off or out of coverage."

How are you? What are you doing?

It's clear, isn't it?

He doesn't want to know anything about me.

I'll tell Chan to take the bags to the embassy.

And if he ever decides to come back, let him go there to look for them.

But do you really think he's not coming back?

He had never done this to me in his life.

I can not understand it.

Me neither.

Has Villar called you? No, he hasn't called.

Dear,

You met Carlos in the master's degree, in London, right?

Yes. Why?

Was he enrolled?

What kind of question is this, mom?

Well of course. It arrived in the middle of the course.

He had to ask for the papers to be released.

Mom, what's up?

That?

Villar has investigated Carlos.

Because of the contract at the embassy.

AND? He is not licensed nor does

he have any degree. You knew that?

No, it can not be.

If he taught me the notes at the end of the course. Why would he lie to me?

I'm sorry, my love.

Because he has lied from the beginning.

Do you think he won't come back?

I do not know i do not know.

Do you think we will never see him again?

Do you think he's been cheating on me from the start?

No, honey, he has fooled us all.

To all.

To all.

It must be very easy to fool me, right?

Hey.

I swear when I met him I didn't like him at all.

And then he invited me to coffee and I fell for it like a fool.

OK. Leave me alone please.

Please.

-"Do you bring them all here?".

-Do not be evil. I come some afternoon or other and alone.

When I want to think

-I don't believe you.

-It's true.

Oh really. You don't look like your brother at all.

-Hopefully. I think we look more and more alike.

-I disagree. I have never seen him laugh.

You are smiling all day.

-Today we talked about things that...

He says that we are lucky to have the life that we have.

What do you think?

Do you want me to take you home?

-What have you said?

- What if you want me to take you home?

(Horn)

- Whoops. (BOTH LAUGH)

(PANTING)

You should have heard her.

She talked to me about you like you were the Al Capone of Bangkok.

Would you like it to be?

Al Capone was short and fat.

And you would have to be an idiot not to take advantage

of the opportunities that working here gives you.

And you are not.

If you say so...

I don't want to know what you do, huh?

I already know you and that is more than enough.

In fact, I prefer not to know where you get the

money from if it is not in a completely legal way.

You're not going to tell me anything, are you?

What do you think?

I am telling you the truth?

tell me.

In Bernardo.

I don't know if it's because the new consul has arrived today,

but I can't get it out of my head.

She shot herself two feet from me.

I still feel her blood on my face.

Javi, take it, take it.

Javi, it's me.

When you hear this, come to my house.

I have to tell you something.

Now yes.

Want a coffee?

Two please.

I didn't tell you

They have again delayed the delivery of credentials.

It seems that His Majesty does not want me to be an ambassador.

One more reason to insist.

I accepted the position because I thought it was...

It was an opportunity to make things right,

to set an example, to get back together.

And you see, you can't do worse.

Louis, wait.

I'm going with you to the embassy. Now?

AHA.

What am I supposed to do?

Stay here at home cooped up all

day while everyone talks about me?

Chang, to the embassy.

How are you? Something new? Any new leads on Carlos?

-No trace, not even in customs.

Either he has not left or he has done so with a false passport.

-The ambassador.

Hello Veronica.

-Hi Claudia.

I'm sorry, but I can't say that I'm glad to see you.

Thank you for being honest and for coming to say hello.

It is what diplomacy has, in the end it ends up being contagious.

Can I ask you a question?

Yes, but I don't know if I'm going to answer it.

You chose your destiny, right?

It was your idea to come here as consul.

Yeah I know.

And because? Why did you have to show up again?

It's my job, I just try to do my best.

Already. Luis has told me that you are going to help him.

I hope to get it. If I don't, we'll all have lost.

Him and the entire embassy. I wish you luck.

Veronica,

Claudia has insisted on coming to say hello.

It is done.

We have both survived.

Ok, and now I let you work.

See you later. See you later.

(Mobile)

(Mobile)

say?

Hello?

Carlos?

Carlos, is that you?

Is it you, right? Car...

Is it possible that I have the feeling that you are following me?

I need you to read this right now. How urgent is it?

Try it for yourself.

This is very serious, since when do you know?

This is why I came here, Luis, yesterday I didn't tell you

because it seemed better to wait and see how things went.

How could they hide it?

Do you know the exact date they received this message in Madrid?

The previous ambassador sent him shortly before

he died, just as the government was changing.

The official who received it, the one who leaked it

to me, kept this copy, but the original was lost.

between offices. Or they destroyed it.

This is a full-blown accusation.

Warns of a money laundering and evasion plot.

Exact.

Bundles of banknotes that leave the country

camouflaged among the exports of some company.

There's someone from the embassy involved.

But he does not name names or have proof.

But he says there are recordings. He just sent the encrypted message.

(Ringtone)

(Ringtone)

All good? (ROBERTO) "Yes, everything in order,"

as usual.

Patricia?

Patricia?

Patricia. No no no.

Patricia, fuck, what have you done? Patricia!

No no no...

(IN ENGLISH) "Hello? I need help. I need help, yes. Yes."

"Please help, I need help."
