EMBASSY

Season 1 Episode 11
"Who Instead of Whom"

translation: Maria Alekseeva, Olga
Sokolova, Lena Kuryzhko, Tonya Botvina

So you're saying
it's not your money

and that you have no idea where they come from.
- No.

I don't know, Your Honor.

Why then did neither you nor your
husband immediately report the discovery?

We should have done this. But we
wanted to find out who hid them and why.

Why did you transfer part
of this money to the embassy?

- I don't know, your honor.

Were you present when the Spanish police
searched the official residence in Bangkok?

Chief

Code please.

- R 00 1987.
- R 00 1987.

This is our wedding year.

Take it off.

So what do we have here...

- This is not our money.
- Claudia.

- They were hidden in the ceiling before us.
- Claudia, please,

let the cops do their job.
- If you really want to cooperate,

we are looking for
confidential information on paper

or electronic media:
contracts, accounting data,

bank transfers. If you give them
to us yourself, we will finish sooner.

These are my working documents.
You can't take them away.

- Yes?
- Claudia, it's me.

Who? Veronica?

I can't reach Louis.
His phone is turned off.

Was he taken to the police? Where is he?

No, they brought him here.
The house is being searched now.

Yes. There's a crowd of police here.

- Did they tell you who reported him?
- No, but this is not the most important thing.

Listen to me...
- This is some kind of mistake.

Or someone's intrigues. But
it can't be left like that.

How dare they? - Veronica.

- How did the ministry allow this to happen?
- Veronica!

Veronica, calm down!

Don't try to help Louis.

If they ask you questions,
don't mention anyone else,

without consulting me. It is very important.
- What?

If you really want to help us,
don't tell anyone about those tapes.

You know nothing. I beg you.
- What are you saying?

Do you love Louis? If you
really love him, then do as I ask.

Eduardo Marañon, Minister-Counselor.
At your service.

Marañon, I've heard a lot about you.
And not always good.

I don't know what the ambassador told you.
All sorts of nasty things, probably.

In fact, he and I didn't get along very well.
- To put it mildly.

- But justice will put everything in its place.
- Let the judges decide.

I hope that this embassy
will finally work as expected

I'm ready to help you with this, sir.

How did you get there?
- I didn’t sleep a wink on the plane.

I don’t know how I can stand on my
feet because of all this abomination.

I had to fly economy class because
there were no seats in business class.

But you need to make a good
impression, that's the main thing.

And especially now.
But what happened to Salinas?

The information is confidential,
but we suspect that the

accusation came from a Spanish
entrepreneur who does business here.

A certain Francisco Cadenas.
Do you know him?

Yes, of course, his company has been working on
government contracts in Thailand for a long time.

Apparently he complained that the
ambassador demanded a bribe from him

in exchange for receiving a concession.
- But in the end he got it, right?

- Yes.
- Well, this Cadenas is a scoundrel.

He got what he wanted from the
ambassador, and then he reported on him.

It's better to stay away from such people.
- Yes.

- I was able to find Esther. She's in Bangkok.
- In prison? In the same place as last time?

This is a pre-trial detention
center, I haven't been there yet,

but this is a quieter place.
- When can I see her?

For now, the judge prohibits
her from meeting her relatives.

- Why?
- Her arrest complicated everything,

The judge is now in touch with Spain, wants
to know if the ambassador participated

in organizing Esther's escape.
- Claudia! Claudia!

What is known about Esther?
- You are not allowed to talk.

We're talking about my daughter, she's in prison.
- Señor Salinas.

This is the lawyer and my
wife, let me talk to them.

- Please.
- You have one minute.

She's in Bangkok. In
Bangkok, but we can't go to her.

- We need to ask the judge for immediate repatriation.

The judge refuses to accept
me. This has never happened in my

practice before; I don’t know
what kind of orders he received.

At the very least, she should know
that we are trying and feel our support.

- The main thing is that she doesn’t find out about me.
- You can see her today, I promise.

As for Carlos, I believe he is still
under arrest, but the Argentine embassy...

- Let's forget about Carlos.
- Senor Salinas, we have to go.

Please, please.

Let me say goodbye to her.

Please.

Please.

Hurry up.

You understand everything about the judge.

Not a word about Eduardo,

otherwise we will never see her again.
- And you? What will happen to you?

Since I have not been convicted before, they
will give me two years or a little more.

Time is over.

Claudia, Claudia.

A kiss from me to Esther.

What a disgrace.
What a disgrace.

Now we will have to make excuses for months.

Senor. Welcome to Bangkok.

Counselor, leave us alone, please.

And try to improve the situation a little.

What? Did you find out anything? Or did
you plan to read about it in the newspapers?

It was assumed that you would
have the most complete information.

With all due respect, sir,
if the information I have

comes to light, this embassy
will be making headlines.

until the end of the year. So I’m ready to listen
to your suggestions about what we should do.

Sarah, have you read what they
write in the Spanish newspapers?

The ambassador is accused of murder.

Yes, Romero got drunk and they killed him,

but the ambassador has nothing to do with it.

Are you sure?
Do you know the ambassador that well?

Do you know that he is a bribe-taker?
- No, actually not.

It seemed wrong to me that
he hired his son-in-law,

but this is not necessarily corruption.
- Do you think the ambassador is the only one here?

and the rest of the employees are angels?

There are still many surprises waiting for us.

You took my laptop.
He took it from my office. Where is he?

- I did not enter your office.
-Are you afraid that I will expose you?

- You have nothing on me.
- Your feeder is closed,

I will report you, I will end things with
you, whether I have these records or not!

Do you understand? Clear?
- Consul!

I have evidence against him -
records, but he stole my laptop,

to destroy them.
-Are you not aware of what is happening?

Your Louis turned out to be a
bribe-taker, he was just found

almost a million dollars.
- This is not his money, he found it,

they belonged to the previous ambassador.
- What?

Did you know about this money?

Did you know? Answer.

Yes.

When did you find out about them?
Why didn't they tell you right away?

Villar!
Take the consul under your supervision.

Contact the investigators, let them come for her.

Tell them she's
Salinas' accomplice.

- No, you can't do that.
- If you are innocent,

you have nothing to worry about.
In Madrid everything will be put

in its place, but for now you
should not make public accusations,

which you may regret later.
- I ask you to.

What do you say? First they took away the
ambassador, and now they have come for the consul.

We can only watch
as they burn in hell.

He did not let me live from the
moment he arrived at the embassy.

Now he will face retribution,
and we will finally be left alone.

- What if the ambassador tells everything he knows?
- He won't do it. You can be sure.

- Why?
- Destroy all documents before they come for them.

- Now?
- Start with the most recent ones.

Won't you go to work?

It's a shame that this girl was
so unlucky, but there's nothing you

or your brother can do. You've
already done everything you could.

Her father was detained by the police this morning.

- What?
- Yes.

The police came from Spain to take him away.
- But he didn't do anything.

How do you know?
Did your friend Esther tell you that?

- And what do they say?
- Yes, there’s nothing to talk about here at all,

A million dollars in black
cash was found at his home.

Well, did you get it? You can't
trust anyone, only your own people.

Finally understand this.

Don't know. They didn't tell us anything.

We have closed the
embassy to visitors.

All employees were told
not to leave the building.

They intend to make some kind of
announcement. I'm very worried.

So many surprises.
- Thank you, Maite.

Are you free?
Have you been released? And Esther?

You saw her?
- She was taken away. They said she would be transferred to a prison in Bangkok.

Yes, I know. Our
lawyer is trying to get us

were able to see her.
- I was released without questions.

It's like I'm invisible.
It wasn't me they wanted, Claudia.

Their target is Esther. I'm sure it
was a trap because we almost succeeded.

We've almost crossed the border.
There was just a little bit left.

- Louis was taken by the police. He's under arrest.
- I know.

All the headlines scream about it.
What's happened? What did he do?

- Louis intends to take the blame on himself.
- What is the guilt?

Eduardo threatened us again.

He said that if we want to see
Esther again, Louis must go to jail.

and take the blame for bribery.

But he didn't do anything.
They can't blame him.

Carlos, listen to me.
Don't talk to Louis or the police,

with no one at all.
- What about the records?

Claudia, what about the recordings?
We have evidence.

No, I'm telling you, no!

Don't you see what's happening?
It's very risky.

If Eduardo finds out about
this, he will kill Esther.

Hello Fatima.

Eduardo in a meeting with
a senior ministry official.

Do you think he'll be arrested?
- But you want it?

I want to remind you that you
yourself told me about his dark deeds.

About all the
papers that he asked

you to sign and
that I almost signed.

Are you scared?
- You take it wrong.

I didn’t talk to you about anything: neither about
papers, nor about business, nor about anything else.

Moreover, I do not communicate with my
husband's subordinates. With your permission...

Thank you.

Let me introduce you to my wife.
Fatima,

Juan Carlos Vargas, Secretary
General of the Ministry.

- Very nice.
- Mutually.

I just informed Eduardo
of his appointment.

for the post of Ambassador to Thailand.
- Is it already official?

Exactly. I have already passed
the information to the authorities.

Sorry.

Minister.

- Congratulations, Ambassador. Finally.
- Someday this had to happen.

Yes, he is undoubtedly the best. He's
here nearby. Should I give him the phone?

He wants to talk to you.
- Mister Minister?

Yes it's me. Of course, sir.

It's my duty.
I hope I won't disappoint you.

Gentlemen, I ask for a minute of your attention.

Thank you very much, I'll be brief.

I would like to inform you
that I was asked to take on the

responsibilities of the head of
the diplomatic mission, and I agreed.

Thank you very much.

First, I would like to tell
you that, as Ambassador, I

fully share everyone's concern
about the recent sad events,

that affected us all.

Unfortunately, although this
is not our fault, for some time

we will be victims
of opinions and facts

that call into
question our integrity,

undermining the authority of our
profession. I believe that we must

unite and grit our teeth and
continue to work hard and with dignity,

never forgetting
what we are here for,

away from family and home -

about love for Spain.
Thank you very much for your attention.

Thank you (English).

Why are you in a wheelchair?
Carlos told me

that it was just a fall.
- I'm fine.

Thanks for the food and clothes. “But we
were told that nothing could be transferred.”

I already know everything. The money that was found with
dad is the same one that was hidden in the fan, right?

Yes? - We consult with lawyers,

we will fight, you know us.

I was also told that I would be
transferred to a prison in Chiang Mai.

Why there, you know?
- You'll be better there.

The government is
negotiating, right?

Soon you will be free, and we will
all go to Spain together, you will see.

You're lying to me.

I don't know how long I'll spend here.
Maybe a year, maybe more.

I may never return to Spain.
- Don't say that, Esther.

You will definitely come back.
- It’s stupid for me to hope!

My God, what a nightmare.

Leave me alone.

Since then, your daughter
has been imprisoned

in a Thai prison awaiting
trial. It's right?

- Yes.
- Has your husband resorted to bribes?

to achieve...

My husband is not a
bribe-taker, I already told you.

Did he receive
money for providing

services to Spanish
entrepreneurs?

If so, why did neither
you nor your husband

immediately report
what you discovered?

- I don't know, your honor.
- Someone else at the embassy

took bribes?

I don't know, Your Honor.

- Why do you refuse to testify?
- With all due respect, that is my right, your honor.

Why do you stand your ground, Ambassador?

I just want to build my defense
through the mechanisms allowed by justice.

You received a bribe for
mediation in obtaining a

concession for the construction
of a high-speed railway

from the Cadenas group of companies?
- I don't remember, your honor.

Have you used your official
position for personal enrichment?

I don't know, Your Honor, I don't know.

But it is absolutely
obvious that the ambassador

quickly managed to
get used to the place.

Soon after his arrival, he was already
on friendly terms with the king's cousin.

He personally arranged for
me to meet him at the embassy.

Does this mean that
Ambassador Salinas

took money from you
for this meeting?

This would be too serious
a crime for a civil servant.

On my part, this would also be
a crime, although not so serious.

Hiding the truth
in court is also

considered a crime, Mr. Cadenas.

The truth? The truth!
Who knows what the truth is?

Everyone has their own.

Everyone seems honest, but then it
turns out that no one can be trusted.

Who, if not you, should know this, your honor?

For the last time, I ask you
not to deviate from the topic.

Did you pay a commission to Ambassador Don
Luis Salinas in exchange for services rendered?

Your Honor, I am ready to cooperate.

But don’t ask me to dig my
own grave with my own hands.

Whatever I did then,
circumstances forced me to do so.

It is not easy to make a living while
being ten thousand kilometers from home.

Yes or no, Mr. Cadenas?

Have you paid any
commission to the ambassador?

Cadenas has just
formally accused

Luis of bribery
and abuse of office.

The judge intends to consider this case separately.
-What exactly did he say?

That the ambassador demanded a commission
from him for his assistance in obtaining

the concession and that he had no
choice but to pay. This is what he stated.

Well, are you satisfied? Is this what you
were striving for from the very beginning?

You laid down your weapons and
waited for them to throw stones at you.

Time passes, and our chances are less and less.

Veronica will testify on Friday.

I hope this will at least change something.
- What indications are we talking about?

Her lawyer says she wants to meet
with the judge. That's all what I know.

But it seems to me that she has
evidence of Louis's innocence. Finally.

Why are you looking at me like that,
senora? Have I not fulfilled my duty?

I'll steal it from you for a minute.

Look, after my testimony, I
face a couple of years in prison.

But I have no
criminal record and my

lawyer will do his
best to get me out.

But this whole story
doesn't excite me.

Why then did you do it?

Well, don’t do that, senora,
tell me thank you for the favor.

How's your girl doing? The trial is coming soon, right?
- You are a complete son of a bitch.

Do not deny. When
necessary, I'm like that.

But since the ambassador
already needed to wash his

dirty laundry in public,
let him sit for it himself,

and in a couple of months no
one will remember about him.

Sooner or later everyone will know what you
did. And you will be responsible for it.

Better late.

You know, I have nothing against
your husband, this is the honest truth,

but since he arrived in Bangkok, he has
done nothing but put a spoke in our wheels.

It cost me a lot of money.
And for what?

What good is your honesty?
Who benefits from it?

If all people were honest, this
world would be a much better place.

Peace and love, right?
Just like in '68.

Okay, our dear ambassadors.
You need to be able to lose.

Although what kind of ambassadors you are already?

- Hello.
- Hello.

How's Louis? We are kept in
different parts of the building.

All is well with him.

In fact, he's worried about
what you'll say in court.

What will I say? The truth.
I've been silent for three weeks now.

- Veronica.
- When the judge asks me...

There are no serious charges against you, our
lawyer is confident that you will be released soon.

So you can remain silent.
- No, I'll tell you everything.

No! No, you don't have to do this.

You shouldn't report Eduardo.
- Why?

Louis agreed with him.
Esther will be released only if

Louis is found to be the only one
responsible for corruption at the embassy.

- This is madness.
- Do you know what’s the worst thing?

Eduardo has enough power

to imprison Esther in
a Thai prison forever.

Louis sacrificed himself for his daughter.
- And I?

Am I not counting?
- It's you...

- No no.
- Veronica, it's you

sent the notes to Romero.

Romero is dead.
Don't ask me to close my eyes

and let Eduardo get away with it.
- I don't want my daughter

suffered in this hell.

And if you even
hint about Eduardo,

we may never see her
again. I beg you.

- I have to get out of here.
- Leave Louis, please.

Just tell the court that you don't remember.

Look at me. I beg you.

"Hearings continue in
the Supreme Court of Madrid

in the case of the former Spanish ambassador to Thailand,

who, according to information
we have, continues to remain

silent in response to the
allegations that led to his detention

and subsequent immediate repatriation.

Meanwhile, some witnesses
stated that the head of

the diplomatic mission
took huge sums in commissions

in exchange for assistance in obtaining..."

- Do you know anything about her?
- I know that she is completely fine.

The jailers have been warned, so
she is in a privileged position.

Everything you sent was delivered
to her: food, medicine, clothes.

It wouldn't hurt you to write her a letter
as well. Let her know who sent her all this.

I will do this when I can tell
her that she will be released.

You told me you would get her out of there.
- And I will pull it out.

Everything has its time. The case
has received too much publicity, the

military court does not want to become
an object of ridicule, we need to wait

until the passions subside. Understand?
- No, I don’t understand.

I don’t understand both her arrest
and your inaction. What's the matter?

- I'll explain to you.
- I don't need explanations, I need actions.

- I do what I can.
- So do more, damn it.

Roberto, you're a little out of your mind.
Why don't you take a shower

to calm down? Let's.

- He won’t get her out of his head.
- How boring he is!

But as soon as he finds a new
passion, he will immediately calm down.

This is Vargas from the Ministry.
Turn up the volume.

As soon as we learned of the accusations, we
immediately removed him from his position.

We are not the first to be harmed by it.

- That's assertiveness, huh?
- Official position obliges.

And the ambassador? How does he behave there?

Didn't you personally appoint

Senor Salinas Ambassador to Thailand?
- I?

I didn’t even know
this gentleman then.

Moreover, all appointments are carried
out according to the strictest protocol.

- Should I go into politics?
- Oh no,

you will be eaten alive there.
And for this I already exist.

The referee doesn't fall for our game.

He realized that this was all a
performance. You saw it yourself.

This is not new for him.

Almost all those accused of
corruption refuse to speak in court.

He will not stop, he will
continue the investigation,

follow every lead
until something turns up.

Why?
Louis, no one will tell him the truth.

Veronica promised me.
And Carlos will also remain silent.

Fine. Let's assume everything works out. We
will remain silent, and only me will be sentenced.

Do you think Eduardo will keep his word?
Why suddenly?

His guilt will already hang on me.

And if Eduardo doesn't release
Esther, how will we force him?

Listen to me. I
thought about this for

a long, long time,
I had a lot of time.

I think we need to take action.
- No no.

- We have a chance...
- No, Louis, please.

We can't take risks.

If Eduardo finds out
you broke your promise...

We can't let him get his way.

But then Esther will be sentenced!
I had a hard time convincing Veronica,

don’t force me to
convince you too, please.

Please.

What have I achieved with my honesty?

Cadenas is right,
it makes no sense.

It's like trying to light a
candle in the eye of a storm.

A person does not decide whether to be honest or not.

He's either honest or he's not.

Fine. What did you come up with?
What we can do?

Hello Ambassador.

Here is the updated budget
for the term, forecast

of new contractual agreements
and transfer requests.

Thank you. Prepare me another
report on information systems.

They need to be updated.
- Of course. I'll do this now.

I don’t know about the others, but he
definitely knows how to manage an embassy.

Ambassador.

Last time we didn't finish the conversation.

Tell me, Eduardo, how
did you achieve this?

that everyone began to consider
this man the main enemy of the people?

Do not understand what you talking about.

You follow the news. Do not deny.

Every day new evidence comes to light.

What will you do when it's your turn to
speak in court? Will you tell the truth?

Whatever they ask me about,
that’s what I’ll say. How else?

By the way, sign something for me.

Back to old times?

I said that I wouldn’t sign anything.
- You will.

- Request for transfer?
- All fields are already filled in:

your name, reasons and my consent.
All you have to do is sign.

The Angolan embassy is already
waiting for you. We will miss you.

- The last word will not remain with you.
- Oh, how's that?

Do you think everyone will follow your orders?

Sarah, I have a lot of
work to do, so when you sign,

just give the document
to the chancellor, okay?

When leaving, close the door behind you.
Have a good day.

What are you doing?
Why don't you pick up the phone?

We have a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Trade.

Every minute of delay is minus
one percent of your commission.

- Allow me, your honor.
- Come on in, come on in.

Thanks for coming, Redrado.

Take a look. I received
this this morning. Submitted

by a person requesting
protected witness status.

These documents seriously compromise
Eduardo Marañon and Patricia Segura.

If a witness confirms
their authenticity,

the case could turn 180 degrees.

What do you mean, your honor?

Everything these documents testify to.
Did your client not know about this?

Why did both he and his wife refuse to testify?

Honestly, I don't know, Your Honor.

Maybe they're afraid of the consequences

or they receive threats that
they cannot tell me about.

Yesterday I took testimony from
Consul Veronica Galdos, also to no avail.

I hope this protected witness
can clear things up for us.

I ordered that he be taken into
custody and immediately taken to Spain.

Perhaps this information will make my client

reconsider your position.
- God willing.

However, I do not intend to reveal the
name of the witness for his own safety.

- Reasonable. I understand, Your Honor.
- What a lucky coincidence.

It was just the
adviser-envoy’s turn to testify.

Take your coat. The weather in
Madrid is disgusting right now.

Atrocious weather. After Thailand,
any weather will seem disgusting to you.

And you used to love winter.

And now I don’t like it. I don’t
know, maybe I’ve become too spoiled.

Are you still not ready, Roberto?
- You will go in a company car with Chan,

You don't need me.
- I want to say goodbye to you.

Let's say goodbye here.
Bon Voyage.

- Well, are you ready?
- I'm fully armed.

I thought I would also be called to court.
- Why are you here?

Well I do not know. Have you thought
carefully about what you will say?

I practiced in front of the mirror, guess what?
- Ambassador Salinas is a bribe-taker.

Briber... What a vile word.
But it will never go out of style.

- Did you suspect that he was a bribe-taker?
- His arrest was a surprise to me,

just like for everyone else.
- Did you know that the ambassador

Did you take commissions for your services?

If I knew, I would be
the first to report it.

Do you remember the ambassador's
visit to Bangkok? Have you

worked alongside him from the
very beginning, or am I mistaken?

Yes, before that I had already held my
position for six months under the previous one.

That day, it was I who was tasked
with meeting him at the airport.

Beautiful, right? This building was purchased

in the 60s for almost nothing.
These days its contents

costs fabulous money, but this
is already the concern of Spain.

- It’s so hot here, isn’t it?
- But there’s nothing you can do about it.

Gradually you will get used to it, there is no choice.

His appointment was highly controversial, Your Honor.

We all knew that he left his post
in Mexico City because of his mistress

and that he had problems with
his superiors in the ministry.

To be honest, many
embassy employees were

convinced that they had
sent us a defective copy.

- We just needed a newcomer.
- He is an experienced diplomat.

The new government doesn't
care who it appoints.

Surely he was brought up to date.

- He has a reputation for being a talker.
- Do you think he will want to change a lot?

Most likely, he also loves to live beautifully.

Let's give him this opportunity and let him leave us alone.

This is Maite. Mr. Salinas.

Wow!

They told me about the embassy in Thailand, but
I didn’t think that the office was so spacious.

Councilor, I want us to eliminate
any unnecessary expenses from

now on. Times have changed, we
must set an example for others.

Can I count on you?
- Of course, Ambassador.

I hope we will become a friendly team.

That is, you want to say that you
approved the ambassador's decisions.

Only at first, your honor.
Subsequently, Senor Salinas acted

according to your rules.
- And you, Senor Marañon,

what are your rules?
-What do you mean, your honor?

The ambassador is accused of demanding
a bribe from a Spanish businessman.

To be honest, I don't think
that incident was the only one.

Do you think that bribery has
been taken on a regular basis?

Do you know if any profit
was made in obtaining visas?

I only know what the newspapers wrote about. Gossip.

A closed meeting between the
king’s cousin and businessman

Cadenas took place at the
embassy. Didn't you see this too?

You and your spouse
own three houses in

Bangkok, two more in
Madrid, four high-end cars,

You regularly travel to all Asian
countries. Where do you get the money from?

for such a luxurious life?
- Everything you mentioned belongs to us by law.

I pay all taxes regularly.
- So, Senor Marañon,

I will speak directly. I think
it's time for you to open up.

If you know anything
about embassy corruption,

the court will be able to evaluate
any cooperation on your part.

The judge immediately began to attack
me, as if he had figured out everything.

What are you up to?
- Do you think it's me? Are you serious?

You made a deal with that damn judge.
- You are crazy.

It could have been anyone.
You have many enemies.

It could have been someone from
the embassy or even your wife.

Claudia!

I have information for you.

A protected witness will testify.
He contacted the judge directly.

You didn't know anything about this?
- No, of course not.

Who is he?
- I don’t know, but his testimony

could help get Luis released.

Eventually the truth will come out.
- And what does this witness intend to state?

Sorry, but I don't have to answer you.

Luis Salinas is your client.
Your duty...

It's my responsibility to prove Louis' innocence.

With or without your help.

Why didn't you call me when you arrived in Madrid?

I recently ran into the wife of an ex-ambassador.

I assume she will testify again.
I saw her talking to the lawyer.

I don’t know if this is connected with rumors...
- What rumors?

A protected witness addressed the judge.
This man has proof.

We finally find out what really happened at
the embassy in Bangkok. Good news, right?

- And when will he appear in court?
- This remains to be seen.

And also who the evidence
is directed against

and where he got them from.
It may turn out that a surprise awaits us.

By the way, the consul was released.

- Well? Do you know anything?
- Patricia has been testifying for more than an hour.

So I guess the protected
witness is not her.

I received a summons.
They want me to testify.

I talked to a lawyer.
We will challenge the judge.

His sister owns a company in which
Cadenas purchased shares several years ago.

- Do you think this will work?
- If the matter is completely rubbish, then any measures are not superfluous.

Recusal of the judge and annulment of the
results of the investigation will help gain time.

Sorry. One minute.

I'm listening.

What? Are you in Madrid?
Where exactly?

What are you doing here?

You should be in Angola by now.
- I really wanted to see you.

I'm not in the mood for jokes right now.
What do you want?

What is this?

What do you see.

The company's incorporation
documents that you asked me to sign,

documents for Zambrano Invest, statements
from your accounts in Singapore, documents

from the Spanish shipping company,
which, by the way, paid you a commission

two weeks ago, right?
-Where did you get all this from? Who gave this to you?

I took pictures of your documents
on my phone in between sex.

I learned this from you, so
you have something to be proud of.

So, does that mean it's you?
What an idiot I am.

Do you know why I called you here?
Because that's where it is

branch of the bank where you have a very
tempting account. And, oddly enough, legal.

- How many?
- Half a million.

One money transfer and no
one will see these papers.

But you have to pay right now.
- How do I know that you will keep your word?

I forgot how you can
be when you're angry.

If you want, I can arrange a farewell party
for you at home. But first, do what I ask.

What will you tell the judge?
Why did you change your mind?

Judge? If you behave well,
why should I say anything to him?

- What? So it's not you who is a protected witness?
- I?

Is the witness protected? No.

What the hell are you up to?
Who is this witness?

I don't know, I swear to you.
I swear I don't know.

Do you think we will
risk our daughter's life?

You shouldn't do this.

Stop right now, okay?
Stop immediately before it's too late.

But what are you asking me? After all, I don’t
even know who this person is or where he came from.

Either this witness disappears, or your
daughter dies in prison from an injection,

because that's how drug dealers are
executed in Thailand - by injection.

No.

We have fulfilled our part of the contract.

If you have a dispute with
someone else, it shouldn't affect us,

so promise me you'll
keep your word.

When will my daughter finally be released?

Gaspard, don't forget
to call me on Monday.

Say hi to the family.

What a surprise. Galdos.
I assume you're here to settle the bill.

Everything that happened is extremely unpleasant.
- Can we talk?

I have nothing to talk about with you.

I will not ask for mercy
either for myself or for

Salinas, but his daughter
is not to blame for anything.

Let me remind you that she is accused of drug
possession and attempting to flee the country.

But she's innocent. Besides, she is
the daughter of an ambassador. Her arrest

is contrary to all diplomatic norms.
Repatriation should have been demanded.

- What do you think we did?
- Do not make me laugh. This unfortunate girl

I've been in prison for a month now.
We didn't lift a finger.

Maybe we broke off relations
with Thailand or protested

at the UN, or called the
ambassador for consultations?

We didn't do anything.

It's not my responsibility.

You will be called from the
residence of the Prime Minister.

I still have connections.

Galdos. You don't need to tell me.
Stop telling me what I should do.

Do you understand?
- I just ask you to try again.

This is our duty.
We have to get her out of there.

Our relationship with the Thai government is very difficult,
especially since the military junta came to power.

The military junta to which we supply weapons?

I beg you, talk to the deputy minister,
this is very urgent. You understand, right?

Escort her to the exit.

- I’m listening to you, Lazaro.
- Eduardo, hi, how are you doing there?

They already told me that you are in Madrid.

That's why I'm calling you.
I need your help.

I want to talk to the embassy in Bangkok, and
since we don't have a consul and you're away...

Tell me, is there a person
there you can rely on?

- It depends on what you need.
- We want to make one last try

deal with the situation
surrounding Salinas' daughter.

The military junta is friendly and
perhaps on the occasion of the king's

birthday they will make a big
gesture. So who should I contact there?

- To Helena Ferran, Chancellor.
- Clear.

The situation is very difficult,
but I promised the Prime Minister,

that we will try to do something.
- Good luck.

Thank you very much.

First the witness, and now this. He's going
to get through to the king to get the girl out.

So we are not far from prison.
But a tragic outcome awaits them.

Yes, I'm listening. What?

When?

Of course I'll be there.

Thank you very much.

The trial will take place earlier than planned.

They didn't tell me what day exactly,
but it could be as early as next week.

This is a signal from Eduardo so
that we do not forget about his power.

I'll go with you. - No no need.

- Why?
- Because we won’t go anywhere together

and because I don't want
you to date my daughter again.

Carlos, we have to win, but I
don't want you to interfere again.

Do you want to help Esther?
Do you want to help me?

- Yes.
- Fine.

Then don't interfere.

Claudia, what's going on?
Is there something you're not telling me?

There is a witness.

- What?
- No. Leave.

- So?
- She is my daughter, she is my whole life.

Understand? I can't tell you.

Understand me.
- Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine.

Everything is over.

It's over, Carlos.

They're coming.

Thank you very much, Inspector.
You can take your people away.

The interrogation of the witness
will be conducted behind closed doors.

Please do not allow anyone into the hall.

You are safe.

Thank you for your testimony.

Are you aware that you
can incriminate yourself?

Yes, your honor.
I understand it.

Could you please describe
in detail the illegal

activities you are alleging
in the attached documentation?

The embassy practiced charging large
amounts of commission from Spanish

companies in exchange for assistance
in obtaining government contracts.

In addition, commissions were charged for the
export of capital hidden in shipments of goods.

Was Ambassador Don Luis Salinas
involved in these activities?

No way. By the way, he
personally tried to stop it.

In this case, who
are the real culprits?

Patricia Segura, Trade Attache of the Embassy,

and my brother,

Eduardo Marañon, Minister-Counselor.

Oh that's how it is!

Your brother?

My brother blackmailed the
ambassador into taking the blame.

My brother put the money in the safe

and also used his connections
to have the ambassador’s

daughter arrested and falsely
charged with drug possession.

Here's proof of blackmail.

"There is only one
way to solve this:

I want you to take the blame.

There is corruption in the embassy, that's
true, but you, ambassador, take bribes.

If you want to see Esther alive, you
will have to accept charges of bribery.

Until that happens, rest assured that I will
personally ensure that your daughter remains in prison.

This doesn't make any sense. What
evidence will you present to the judge?

Louis is innocent."

- Excuse me, is that you Eduardo Marañon Gil?
- Yes it's me.

You are under arrest.

Salvador, I'm listening to you.

Yes. His? And Patricia?
Was she detained too?

Same.

Yes, yes, fine.
We'll talk later.

Bye.

I always followed Eduardo's orders.

It was he who told me which accounts
to open and which companies to use.

And he threatened me not to report him.

Yes, yes, but you divided the money in half.

Or will you tell me
that the 23 million

dollars that we
found in your accounts

did you receive it against your will?

If you want, we'll take a break.
- No, your honor.

I'm offering you a deal.
I want to provide important information.

- About what?
- On the assassination of Ambassador Arthur Shultz

and journalist Javier Romero.

Did you go against
Schultz and Romer because

they intended to report
your criminal activities?

- What kind of activity are we talking about, your honor?
- Abuse of official position,

bribery, embezzlement of funds,
circumvention of tax laws, money

laundering, kidnapping, bribery,
participation in a criminal community...

You have committed all
crimes of the criminal code

one after another.
- Why did I have to do this, your honor?

I am a professional diplomat.

I hold a position that
many people dream of.

And also own 47 million dollars

in three offshore zones.
- This is a family inheritance.

I can prove it.
- Family inheritance.

- Yes, your honor, a family inheritance.
- Find yourself a good lawyer

and prepare your
defense thoroughly.

The evidence is irrefutable.

I make a decision to imprison
the detainee in solitary

confinement and without the
possibility of release on bail.

Take him away.

- I'm fine, Fati.
- Eduardo.

You will still forever be my
brother, Roberto. I forgive you.

Let me talk to my husband!

Let me talk to my husband!

In Bangkok they already know what to do.
I spoke to Kao.

- Were you able to talk to Roberto again?
- No.

Everything turned out as you planned.
I sent him the video the same day.

He did a worthy thing.

- Senor, there is a letter for you.
- Thank you, Sitala.

- Tell me, what do you propose?
- Let's call brother Eduardo.

- Roberto?
- I think he loves Esther.

He won't let his
brother send her to jail.

Call him. But not from your phone.
From a new number.

And don't call him at home.
Any precaution will not be superfluous.

Eduardo must not find out about this.
- Fine.

I will call him and tell him that Eduardo is
threatening us that Esther will be sentenced.

- He may not believe you.
- I'll send him a video.

“If you want to see Esther alive, you
will have to take the blame for corruption.

And until you do, you can rest assured
that I will personally see to it that

so that your daughter never gets out of prison.
- Leave our house immediately.

That is, you do not agree.

You don't care what happens to Esther.

Think about it.
But don't delay.

Your daughter is counting on you."

Bastard.

I will tell him that Eduardo
has been deceiving him all this

time and that it was Eduardo
who sent our daughter to prison.

Don't tell Carlos anything.

Carlos won't do anything
to harm Esther, Louis.

Do you still trust him?

I think about this

Only you and I should know.

And Roberto. - Certainly.

Claudia. This is Roberto.

Fine. I'll talk to the judge.

He didn't doubt it for a second.
He knew that he himself would go to prison,

but agreed to act as a witness.
- Eduardo doesn't know that it was our idea.

But why do we still
have no news about Esther?

Evidence has been sent to Thailand, they
know that Esther is completely innocent.

But the lawyer says we
need to wait a few days.

I don’t know if we did the best
or completely ruined everything.

You have been released.

Esther will also come out.

The prosecutor agrees to her deportation.

Now everything is in the hands of the judge.

A joint statement was drawn up, Esther was
officially recognized as a victim of the conspiracy.

They will not ignore the fact of a bribe. Perhaps she
will be given a couple of months or some other punishment.

- But she's innocent.
- She will be automatically given to Spain.

It's time.

Esther Salinas. The court has
examined the charges against you.

You are accused of drug trafficking,

attempt to evade justice,
falsification of documents,

resistance to authorities,
violation of a court decision,

criminal conspiracy.

Do you agree with the accusations?

I'm innocent.

On behalf of His Majesty
and all the people of Thailand

court announces Esther Salinas

guilty on all counts

and, in accordance with current
legislation, sentences her

to death penalty.

You need to call Zarzuela immediately!

Stop the execution!
Open the door!

END OF THE SERIES!!!
