THE FACTS AND CHARACTERS PRESENTED ARE A WORK OF FICTION.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

You are still here. You need to be strong.

What?

That you are still here.

You need to take control.

I don't understand.

Can you hear me?

Are you listening to me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Are you OK?

Unlock the door.

Are you OK?

Unlock the door!

Okay...

-Are you OK? -I'm fine.

Slowly, that's it.

There you go.

-Slowly. -I'm fine.

Slowly...

Take it easy.

Here, let me see.

-Has it gone down a little? -Yes.

It wasn't that bad.

Just a big blow.

A motherfucker who crossed the red light.

You should also stop a little, anyway.

Dad...

Make other decisions.

If you keep going like this, these things will continue to happen.

You are not well.

It's a very particular moment.

I can imagine.

Shouldn't you be on a plane?

No, I'm not going to leave you like this.

No, no way.

You had a plan.

I won't let my problems get in the way of that.

I can't be somewhere else while you're here like this, okay?

Are you going to tell me why?

Why what?

Why you relapsed.

I wish it were just that.

Stop saying that, Dad.

You need help.

You are right.

I should call Beltrán.

Yes.

Yes, that would be a good start.

But call him.

Look, here you have these pills.

If you're in pain, the doctor said to take one every 12 hours.

I'm sorry, darling.

Are you going to stay up all night?

I don't know.

Don't worry, everything will be alright.

Why don't you take some days off, clear your head?

The more time they have, the easier it will be for them

to erase the evidence of what they did.

Want some coffee?

What you have to do is help me.

Whatever you need.

Tomorrow you go there and investigate.

Someone there knows what happened.

You go and find out.

You fuck Víctor once and for all, you record it, you do whatever it takes.

All right?

Go, go to bed.

We are canceling the 3 p.m. event.

Thursday's meeting with the mayors

should be online, I don't want them in here.

Perfect. Will you see into Monsignor Ojeda's thing?

Those lands belong to them

and I promised we would get them back.

Our priority right now is the Lithium Law.

I know that.

I don't want to interfere.

I'm just saying they need some gesture from us, that's it.

Let me think about it.

-One more thing. -It's a complicated moment.

Fine. Listen, I pushed back Figueroa's flight to before the vote.

So, then...

I'm meeting Giacomucci, should I tell him something?

To close the deal with the banks before the end of the month.

We need more good news.

Is it just me or is Rizzone trying to control me?

It doesn't matter.

Don't give in to him.

The last thing we need right now is to show weakness.

Sometimes you have to make them wait.

This is not the time to have my vice-president against me.

The Church wants to gain some ground.

They know the only way they can reach you is through Rizzone.

Look, Achával!

He wants to meet. He's passing through town.

Coincidence?

You said to camera Luciano was leading the lithium negotiations.

And now...

He quit, just like that.

He left us no choice, Ana.

You need to find a replacement.

No, no.

No more right-hand men for me.

They concentrate too much power.

Not if they are trustworthy.

Can't you see that doesn't exist?

What more evidence do we need?

I mean me.

I promise I'll think about it.

You mean you'll talk about it with Marcos.

See you tonight.

Hey, relax.

The day is just beginning.

Why did you make me come here?

I shouldn't be doing this.

I don't know who to trust, Pedro.

I'm good at not asking questions.

Here.

Lauren Gerard.

On the desktop there's a file with everything I know,

which is not much.

I need something, anything.

Now it's my turn to say this: Trust me.

Thank you.

So? How is your old man?

Beaten down, distraught, confused.

That is, same as usual.

Can he help you with anything?

No.

Sofi, if you don't open up, I can't do much either.

The thing is I don't always feel like opening up.

Perhaps I need to be alone for a while.

In the end, you act just like your dad.

You hurt the people who love you the most.

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

Does it hurt?

A bit. It was a big blow.

But let's not talk about me.

How are you doing?

Adapting to the circumstances.

With Luciano gone, I had to do without certain comforts.

Such as?

I have to be much more cautious,

more on top of everything.

I have to be strategic

when it comes to delegating.

And Rizzone...

He thinks we are ruling together.

What's the problem with your vice?

He's a vulture.

He pretends to be a friend,

but when he sees blood, he sinks his teeth in.

Right now, he is nagging me

about a favor we owe Monsignor Ojeda.

Does it have a political cost or is it just an ego thing?

Both.

Ana doesn't want to compromise with the Church

and since I don't have Luciano,

I fear I need to trust her more than I would like to.

Did she talk to you about it?

I still haven't said yes.

But she did.

I don't know if it's a good thing for your wife to be your right hand.

Are you okay, Dorrego?

Yes.

Yes.

What do you think is Ana's motive?

I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me.

Sofía canceled her flight because I had an accident.

That's natural.

Our actions have a direct impact on the lives of those we love.

Every decision you make has a direct impact on Ana.

So?

Perhaps Ana, in a subconscious level

is trying to control those impacts.

That's interesting.

Do you know Thomas' theorem?

If men define situations as real,

they are real in their consequences.

That is, if in fact already Ana acts as if she were your right hand,

the consequences of that reality are already at play.

Do I make myself clear?

See where the outsider has ended up.

If only you had listened to me earlier.

You were the first one to make yourself available.

It was an expensive campaign but it has paid off.

I know why you are here, Achával.

Then you know we need answers.

The investors are restless.

The opposition,

the environmentalists on the rise, Giancara's departure.

What is going on?

What happened with Giancara are personal issues

and it doesn't affect the set course.

And who will get their hands dirty now?

You spend the whole day from protocol to protocol.

Ana.

Compared to her, Luciano is a boy scout.

She can get neck deep in mud in the afternoon

and at night attend a splendid cocktail party at your embassy,

smelling like flowers as well.

We gave you our support and we can take it away from you, Víctor.

We are not playing here.

I'm not playing either, Achával.

CALLING VALENTINO BELTRÁN

I understand you are going after Ana, but at what speed?

As fast as I can. I don't work well under pressure.

I don't need to come see you. We follow your steps closely.

I do it because we are working together.

I am not interested in knowing the consequences of that action.

We want to see him defeated politically.

If the King abdicates, we take over.

Rizzone.

Luciano is out of the game. Ana is next.

I want you to understand something.

Inside the system there are people who answer to us.

Senators, representatives, the armed forces.

We even have people inside the Government House.

Any misstep,

any information you want to leak,

any attempt at a rebellion,

is going to reach me even before it leaves your head.

C'est clair?

Too clear.

Can you leave now?

Trust no one, Marcos.

I understand your position, Rizzone, but sometimes you have to wait.

Such a specific decree can be seen as an affront.

You tell the archbishop that we are on it,

but this is not the time.

Yes, that's an order.

They still want to evict those poor people?

This conflict has been going on for years

and they want to solve it in this term.

They must've pressured the previous ones the same way.

I know this guy. He won't stop.

He's a Vatican ass kisser.

I just hope the important things can keep moving.

Can I count on you?

Excuse me?

As my right hand.

What made you change your mind?

It's an inevitable reality, Ana.

You're the best for the job.

Thank you.

I'm going to need you to start working on getting the votes in Congress.

I know where to start.

This must be very important for you to come here.

I'm sure you know about Luciano.

-A great loss. -I know.

Your deals with Luciano now will have to go through me.

Are you sure about that?

Mind you, the photos and social events politics is one thing,

but what we do here is very different.

You need a stomach for that.

Jorge Casares wants to stockpile soybeans in his province.

He gets it and he votes in favor.

Norma Piglia doesn't want to be associated with it.

She travels to Spain to visit her son, her return flight gets cancelled.

She's not here for the vote.

Carrasco won't negotiate.

Tell him we have several videos of him with his girlfriends in Europe.

Do I look like I have a weak stomach?

I think we're going to get along very well.

I always hated the smell of chlorine in these places.

It gets me down.

Just like your socks.

Chlorine kills bugs, Madam First Lady.

From what I can tell, they can survive several terms in office.

You have to help me.

No, no.

Come on, Luciano, no. Honestly...

I don't want to be linked to you. Nothing personal.

Diego, you can't just leave me hanging.

You know we are not allowed to talk to former officials.

Yes, you are also not allowed to anticipate market movements.

And look, I have this very nice photo here,

where we can see you all honeyed up with this guy,

they call him the Messi of finances, right?

Come on, Diego. Let me be your exception too.

What do you want to know?

Someone got into my WhatsApp.

I thought it was impossible.

Yes, it is impossible, from a cybernetic point of view.

Can you explain that for human beings?

Let's see if you can understand this, a cyber-attack

is an attack that is done through the web, right?

But we also have traditional attacks,

which can be done near the device.

And from what I'm seeing here, you obviously got mirrored.

This was done by someone good.

No way, I have my phone on me all the time.

Luciano, all I can tell you is it was done by someone

who was close to your phone.

We good?

Cheers.

A fox can lose its fur, but not its ways.

Dorrego!

What a surprise to see you here!

I tried calling you, but to no avail.

And I remembered this was like your second home.

Sure, this is where I can focus.

Please, take a sit.

So, you were looking for me?

That's right.

I changed my number about a year ago.

I should have let you know.

Don't worry.

I heard how it turned out.

It must have been very painful.

It still is.

That's one of the reasons that I wanted to see you.

I'm not well.

You never were, Marcos.

It's a big step for someone as egotistic as you to admit it.

I understand.

Here's what we'll do.

Let's talk about it at length,

so we can put things in order, but with due time.

How about that?

Sure.

I would greatly appreciate it.

Tuesday, mid-morning.

We can get through this.

Candia, Diaz Montaño, Jacobez are in.

That makes 174 votes.

We just need nine more for a tie and ten to win.

I'm talking to Martino,

but he can turn around like a pancake, like Ferrari did.

Ana is pulling some strings.

Ana?

That's interesting.

What's interesting?

I trust her.

She's on a video call right now with the people from the North

-to secure some votes. -We are still short.

We need an entire block.

What if you talked to someone of them personally?

We need to be more aggressive.

This reform needs to come through no matter what.

Listen, have you thought about what I told you?

They've got me by the balls with this land thing.

I'm on it, Rizzone.

Now let's focus here.

We can't just believe they are with us.

We need confirmations.

Here, I'm logging in.

You have all the cameras from the club that you told me about.

Yes.

It has to be here.

It's the only time I didn't have my phone on me.

It's divided by sectors.

There's the camera in the hallway to the locker room,

search for the days you want.

You have three weeks-worth of footage.

Perfect.

I'm looking into how they tampered your WhatsApp conversation, Luciano.

And with this, we are done.

I don't like to play both sides.

Don't worry, it's just this thing and we are done.

Is this your address?

Yes, it's where I see my patients.

We are investigating Veronica Oliva's death,

like I told you on the phone.

Yes, I still can't understand.

I'm putting information together, I understand you are a psychologist.

Yes. What happened?

Was she a patient?

Excuse me, how is this case being labeled?

At this time, we consider it a suspicious death.

Is there any information you might be able to contribute

about her psychological or emotional status?

No, not much.

She might not have been in her best moment with her family, but...

At one point she said something...

She said she felt she was being chased.

Chased?

Someone called her and then hanged up.

But perhaps it's not important.

Was that during a session?

Yes.

How long have you known her?

Four years.

It's a terrible thing what happened.

We still don't know what happened.

You can count on me for anything you need.

I won't take any more of your time.

Thank you.

Who are you?

What is it, fatty?

You no longer felt like swimming?

They don't have the votes.

The people need to stand up.

There's a lot at stake here.

We can't let Noriega give our natural resources away.

The President's Office says this deal will bring great wealth to the country.

For them, maybe.

We know this story.

Good.

-Wonderful. -Great.

This lady is tough, I love her.

-That's why she says we should mobilize? -Come on...

Make people aware of this conflict.

Call it what you will, but if she feels we can be of use

to stop Noriega, we'll be there.

Right.

Which of us are going tomorrow?

Everyone will want to go.

-Where's the meeting? -In her office, in Congress.

-We won't all fit there. -No, only a few should go.

The two of us should go.

No, you two should go.

I agree.

I think Renata will appreciate if two women go.

-If that's okay with you. -With me?

Sure, no problem.

-No, I think that's great, it's... -Good.

-Nice move. -Good.

-Let's make a list. -Sure, let's plan this out.

You acted in an impulsive way.

We've been having some problems and I figured this would help.

Did it work?

Sometimes precision demands some reflection.

-I've been thinking about that problem. -Yes, I know, don't tell me.

I made the wrong decision.

Depends for whom.

Come on, Marcos.

You and I know both know

Ana has more vision than my entire cabinet put together.

That's why you fell in love with her.

Ana is a woman who has always felt attracted to powerful people.

For those who can exercise power in different ways.

The point is at times she realizes

she can control that power.

To hold the reins.

So, my position is complex because that power requires limits.

Limits once again.

The same thing you said about Rizzone.

Rizzone doesn't know his place,

he keeps on pushing his personal agenda.

And I don't want to concede to that guy.

It's better to have your vice-president close.

Since when do you know about politics?

I don't know anything about politics, but I know a lot about relationships.

It seems to me you are trying to avoid a personal confrontation

and that has repercussions in the workplace.

Ana is your right hand, that's fine.

But you are on top.

In political terms, you are not equal.

Speaking of Rizzone...

There's a small event this evening.

A dinner at the Government House.

To strengthen the ties between the most intimate collaborators.

I would like you to come.

Does it seem appropriate to you?

You are a part of my team.

I would like you to meet the other players.

It could improve your perspective to help me better understand the game.

Yes, we completely support you,

we are against this.

But we don't have the majority.

Our greatest strength right now is to oppose, imagine that.

So Víctor Noriega could have a majority, whatever we do?

Not if you are strong, what you are doing is very important.

Isn't there any way to publicly expose them?

Everyone knows about the deals they made.

But do you have any evidence?

If you do, we can go to court, but the courts...

They own them.

-They own them. -Sure.

So, let's stick together and don't give up prematurely.

That's rule number one, OK? Number one.

Okay, fine.

Víctor, I apologize, but I won't be able to attend the celebration.

I have some issues to take care of, spend some time with Sofía...

Víctor, sorry, I won't be able to go to the celebration.

I have some issues to take care of

and I need to spend some time with my daughter.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

See you.

I hope you're joking.

What do you mean?

Do I need to explain myself?

This dinner is a perfect opportunity for you to see Víctor's connections,

to manipulate his surroundings and break them from the inside.

I see.

I hope I don't need to call you again, Marcos.

You know what happened.

Don't remind me.

You went away and I was left alone.

That afternoon with her family there. It was too much.

Yes, that birthday sucked.

Yes, it was hell.

But you usually have a good time,

when going places.

I'm a little less sociable.

Come on...

I went there to see you.

Am I out of line?

No.

Not at all.

I'm crazy about you, Sofía.

We're good.

Listen up, silence, please.

I believe this first stage in office,

even though it has met some bumps, has been very good and strong.

We have not allowed ourselves to be controlled by public opinion,

and we are keeping the course we promised during the campaign.

For this next stage, we need to strengthen the bonds of trust,

our dedication and the commitment we have to what we are doing.

I take this opportunity to announce that tomorrow we start the procedures

to return to the Church the lands that belong to it.

This procedure has been carried out with great skill by my vice-president,

and it's very important that he has my absolute support.

Thank you, Mr. President.

I am honored by your support.

Let's continue with this dinner. Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Dad!

Honey, I'm here.

Are you going out?

Yes, I have a meeting with some colleagues.

I can't cancel it.

If you had told me you were coming...

Some wine? Do you have a moment?

I sent you an e-mail. It's a file.

Let me check.

Is this the guy? Pedro Campesi?

It's him, yes, but it's a court file.

Look at it more closely, Giancara.

Sure. Thank you.

DEFENDANT: CAMPESI PEDRO

Dorrego?

And that was the end of the case.

What those judges did was sublime.

This is just the beginning.

We have them on the palm of our hands.

Where is Ana?

I saw her leave with her bodyguard, César.

I haven't seen her in a while.

She left minutes after your speech, if I'm not mistaken.

In this relationship

her role becomes important when I am not well.

It's like a charity game.

That's almost a psychological diagnosis.

Honey, I'd love to stay, but I have to go.

Are you going to stay the night?

Yes, I'm staying.

You're going now?

What? Are you waiting for someone or what?

No, wait here.

Pedro!

I didn't want to call. You're being followed.

You have to be careful.

-Who? -I don't know. They tapped my phone.

Here.

This is my new number. Only text me here.

If someone texts you from my phone, it's not me.

-Thanks. I'm with... -Don't worry. Be careful, please.

It seems I wasn't clear.

I ordered you to go to the event.

Go away, please.

Ana is next, that's what you told me.

But there is no time now, Dorrego.

Dad? Everything okay?

Yes, everything is fine, honey.

You leave me no choice.

There's a limit to my patience.

I'm asking you to please leave.
