Rotten Legacy (2025) s01e03 Episode Script

[engine rumbling]
[metallic creaking]
[Manuel] What are you talking about?
Look, what I need is--
[man 1] Hello! Hi, good morning. Stop.
Shut the equipment down, please.
-Hi, good morning.
-Good morning.
Excuse me, sorry to have to do this,
but I'm required to inform you
that work has to stop
on this property right now.
No, no, I talked
to the planning officer myself.
-There's gotta be a mistake.
-He's fully aware of everything.
[man 2] Something wrong?
[man 3] No, just some hard-ass
asking about the permits.
-[man 1] Are you the builder?
-[builder] That's right.
[man 2] The renovation permit you have
does not allow work on this scale…
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music playing]
-[man 1] I'm sorry, gentlemen.
-[man 2] No need. That's how it is.
[man 1] All right, we'll wrap it up then.
Okay, gentlemen?
[man 2] I wish that…
[tense music continues]
I'm good. Let's go.
[phone buzzing]
Yes, Paolo. Everything all right?
No. I wanted to talk to you.
No. About the channel.
Do you still wanna buy it?
Yolanda's still going to manage it.
I don't need permission if I wanna sell.
Hey, sometimes you take
your kids' toys away, teach 'em a lesson.
[suspenseful theme music playing]
[tires screech]
ROTTEN LEGACY
[birds twittering]
[boy] Dad.
[Andrés groans softly]
-Hey.
-Are you all right?
Yeah.
I thought you and I could go swimming.
Are you sad because Grandpa's a bastard?
What did you say?
Edu was saying that to Mom.
They thought I wasn't paying attention.
Mm. No, first of all,
don't talk that way, Marcos.
And second,
that's not how your grandfather is.
You know what happened?
Your dad was playing a game
with your grandfather,
and Mom and Edu,
uh, they were rooting for me.
[tender music playing]
But I didn't win.
But they… they didn't mean it.
Well, I don't actually think
the game's over yet.
'Cause your dad doesn't quit so easy.
Right, Marcos?
Like whenever he plays basketball with you
and you beat him,
he always wants a rematch, right?
It's the same with Grandpa.
You just gotta go at it again.
You're gonna leave your room like that?
It's a total pigsty.
Mirella is not going to
clear away your shit.
But she will for you?
There we go.
You just forfeited access
to your credit card for an entire week.
[Lara sighs] Damn it.
Ten days.
That's how it is?
Then we have to pay
for the troubles with your children?
Pardon me
if I'm not just a shining example
of joy and happiness,
especially after they tried
to disenfranchise me.
So that's a yes.
But you don't pass up a chance to be rude.
-I… I'm sorry.
-I know it's hurtful, I get it.
I know you must be angry,
which is completely understandable,
but how do you think this turns out?
You know as well as I do,
I never wanted to give that interview.
[sighs]
But I thought you would go into things
like the ambassador's stomach cramps.
So don't go trying to blame me
for this whole mess, you got that?
Your daughter and I don't want
any part of this little display of yours.
It's ridiculous.
-Hmm?
-Perfect.
[Isabel] Perfect.
[tense, quiet music playing]
[Guadalupe] Hi.
You by yourself today?
Well, when you force your daughter
to get divorced, it's what tends to go on.
Family gatherings are less attractive.
You're getting divorced?
You're surprised?
Or more infuriated?
Infuriated, right?
If you'd known, you wouldn't have
stopped work on the house.
And how're the girls?
Yeah, well… with how everything is,
I don't think you'll be seeing them much.
Actually, neither will I.
My lawyer made it clear that I'd lose
any battle over custody of the girls.
Because I mean,
Manuel's the one raising them both
since I'm never really there.
But… are they all right?
They're good. They're doing great.
They're at the perfect age
for their parents to separate.
The main thing, though,
is I've done what you asked me to.
Today's about celebrating, isn't it?
[somber music playing]
[indistinct office chatter]
[worker] Get that report turned in?
I need that soon.
Sooner than later.
It better not be late. 9:00am.
-[Andrés] Are you leaving?
-Yeah.
To Rimini.
I got invited to try the new Rivas.
Do you wanna come along?
I'm not really into speedboats
and everything, to be honest.
-Your family's more of a sailboat crowd.
-[chuckles]
So was there something
else besides boats, or…
[sighs] My father's about to ask
for my head at the board meeting.
[sighs] My goodness, Andrés
Let me explain it to you this way.
I'm not involved
in the journalism business.
It's not what I do.
I'm here on behalf of a group of investors
who may just as well have bought into
some sort of a… pesticide plant.
Well, I can't see your fund
ever investing in a pesticide plant
that's done nothing but lose money
for two straight years.
If you keep pumping cash into El Báltico,
it's because we're still semi-useful
in manipulating public opinion
to serve your interests.
And that's thanks to me.
I'm well aware
of what our interests are, okay?
And honestly, Andrés, I don't
get into battles I know I can't win.
You're not the accountant.
[huffs] Come in. For Christ's sake.
[sighs] All right.
Damn.
Let's go over it.
This is how voting will go.
VOTE ON THE DISMISSAL
OF ANDRÉS SELIGMAN
[man] Ten board members.
Three represent your family firm…
DISMISSAL VOTE
…and will follow Federico's
voting instructions.
Two represent banks.
I could… work on them,
but so could your father.
Another two are from my investment fund.
Don't worry about them.
And another three are independent.
You may take "independent"
to mean handpicked by your father.
So I'm betting they won't be too keen
on biting the very hand that feeds them.
It's not gonna be easy,
but… what if you worked
on convincing the bankers
and let me work on the independents?
[man] You're optimistic. Not that
I doubt your powers of persuasion,
but all your dad needs is one
to change their mind and remain loyal
for it to be a technical draw.
And honestly, Andrés,
that's something no one wants.
-Right.
-Your sister.
Have you seen her vote differently
from what the family wanted?
That woman's never stood up
to her father in her entire life.
Well, there you go, Andrés.
Listen, we're good. I like you, all right?
No, well, I mean, to be honest,
I pretty much like you
slightly more than your father.
But you see, I'm not willing
to go into a battle I've already lost.
Know what I mean, Andrés? Okay?
I gotta go, or I'll be late.
Aguirre.
Aguirre.
This isn't just for me.
If you don't fight this battle,
you could very well lose the war.
That chair there…
Aren't we still missing,
um… What's his name? My son…
It's um… Your brother, uh, the oldest one.
I've been getting so forgetful lately.
I think you need
to disenfranchise me, right?
You didn't think it was funny?
That's because it wasn't.
No one was aware that Andrés was gonna
take everything so far, Dad. I don't know.
Don't sit there and try
to saddle him with all the blame.
Don't pretend like you weren't there,
acting so concerned about my test results.
You thought you had me fooled.
At the very least,
Andrés had the decency to not show up.
You thought you could put on a smile
and everything would be all right?
No, sweetheart.
Okay, I, um… I get that… that you wanna
punish us, okay? That's fine.
But just tell me what the point is
of you selling my channel?
-Your channel?
-My channel, yes.
Then why are they making
their offers to me?
We're profitable.
We've got plenty of advertisement deals,
and the number of viewers keeps growing--
Making money doesn't justify
anything at all. It shouldn't, anyway.
And what you're doing with the channel
is contributing to a system
that needs idiots
that consume without asking questions.
It's called entertainment, Dad.
What do you expect? [huffs]
Herding sheep's not entertainment.
Sorry, but for some people who spend
the whole day putting up with their boss
for a shitty salary, getting home,
and disconnecting for a while
is all they really want.
That's the story you tell yourself
so you don't feel like an accomplice?
You were given that channel.
We put you in that position.
Before that, it was the newspaper,
the radio station for a while,
and the art gallery another time.
And after we sell this one,
it'll be something else. It's up to you.
Because you're lucky enough
to be my daughter.
[laughs softly] It's not fair.
[tender music playing]
I'm sorry that's what you think of me.
No, that's what you think.
It's the same
for the rest of your siblings.
You guys have had chances to explore
whatever dreams you wanted to,
but you preferred
to bury yourself in irrelevance,
in being somebody's daughter.
You chose not to stand out,
to just fit in.
To have no real responsibility,
to let other people make
decisions for you.
So that's what I'm doing.
[sniffs]
I can't believe this.
Yolanda.
Well, Federico, we're…
we're leaving, okay?
[sobbing]
[Ricardo] Baby, it's really the best
thing that could happen.
Now he's done some bad things to you,
and it's normal to hate the guy.
[phone pinging]
But… it's best to get these things out
in the open, not keep them hidden.
I'm sure he's not serious
about the channel. He's just cranky.
Hey, uh, excuse me,
but what on earth could you possibly
be doing on your cell phone, Ricardo?
[Ricardo laughs] Nothing.
It's just some chick
that I agreed to meet.
She keeps sending me
dirty messages to turn me on.
But I'm telling her that I can't do it.
[rock music playing faintly on radio]
Mm. What was it
we talked about the other night?
Uh, well… I'm not sure. It was about you,
and I didn't wanna force you
to do anything that you didn't wanna do.
-You serious right now?
-Why?
I mean, at no point did I think that
it meant I couldn't, you know, keep on--
Of course it meant that.
It's not complicated at all.
-Never mind, just do whatever you want.
-No, baby, but I didn't--
But I can't believe that with all
that's going on now with my dad,
your main focus is trying to find
someone else to go have sex with.
But I didn't know
this was gonna happen today.
I mean, if you'd told me
about your brother's stupid idea
to blackmail a doctor
outta nowhere for some reason
and your father'd find out about it,
I may not have made plans.
[car horns blaring]
[woman] The thing we talked about
last time would fit right here.
-No, it's different now.
-[man] We can't go on like this.
[woman 2] Everyone who's seen this
agrees with what we're saying.
I feel like it's basically the same thing.
[man 2] Guys!
I love getting out of Moncloa
to come see you,
but… is it really that difficult
to decide on an independent we all like?
[woman] Minister,
you're still not Vice President.
This position is our responsibility.
It seems like, uh, it's going nowhere.
Let's take a few minutes.
[indistinct chatter]
There's no point
holding our ground like this.
You know they'll never accept Ibon.
So the idea is to pile
a lot of pressure on him today.
That way, when we offer
the second option to him,
then he'll be relieved by it.
[laughs]
So hey,
you and Manuel, is that real?
Yeah, of course.
-Is there someone else?
-[coughs] Excuse me?
Come on, we've all noticed
how you've been looking at Juanjo.
He's adorable.
What are you talking about? I mean, well…
Okay yeah, Juanjo's cute, sure, but no.
It's got nothing to do with Juanjo.
But seriously,
are you okay with this Manuel thing?
Sort of, yeah.
Okay as one can be, I guess.
I think you've made the right decision.
Difficult, sure.
But it'll open a lot of doors for you.
You'll see very soon.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, shall we?
Some of us have a country to run.
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music playing]
Seriously though, what else has to happen
for you to confront him here?
No, what else has to happen
for you to understand
that that would accomplish nothing?
Yolanda, if I could help you
with Femininity, I would.
I'm just not able to.
However, you can stop 'em
from getting me ousted.
And what do you think he will do after?
I have no idea, but your channel doesn't--
That's right, Andrés,
and whose fault is that?
-It's Dad's fault.
-No, dammit, he's hurting.
He's fucked up, you know?
The thing that you did is--
-I'm sorry?
-God.
-The thing I did?
-Fine; what we both did.
-Ah.
-Whatever, yeah.
What we did was just horrible. Horrible!
And forcing your daughter to get
a divorce is, um… is wonderful.
Isn't it?
Please tell me why it seems
you're always so quick to forgive him.
-[beeping]
-[indistinct chatter over radio]
[sniffs]
How are you?
The doctor looked at him
and said he had a cracked rib,
but there's not much you can do for it.
Sons of bitches.
-You think it's 'cause of the interview?
-Yes.
[Federico] Shit. I'm sorry, Enrique.
-[beeping]
-[indistinct chatter]
-I really am sorry about this.
-Don't worry about it.
[gasping] I went through a whole lot worse
back when the secret police
were still running around.
Yeah, I know.
I'd say that's
where this pig learned how to do it.
You know, he was like one of those…
those assholes that just know
they can get away with anything.
[man] Don't turn on the light.
[music fades]
[pensive music playing]
[man] I would prefer
if you didn't see my face.
[exhales]
[Enrique] Anyway,
I've been on so many painkillers recently,
you know,
that to be honest with you,
it didn't really hurt.
Enrique can pretend he doesn't care
and that nothing bothers him,
saying it's just 'cause he's been sick.
You can believe all that if you want.
But they won't stop with him, you know?
I know, you're right.
-[phone ringing]
-It's definitely gone too far.
[Lola exhales]
[Lola] Well, I've gotta go.
But, uh, do you really need this…
this interview so bad?
You should think about others
and destroy it.
Before there's another accident.
[Enrique] Thanks, Lola.
[suspenseful music playing]
She might actually be right.
Tell me what you're so afraid of
if they leak the interview tomorrow.
Of how you'll be silenced?
-Are you afraid of what people think?
-I'm mostly worried about you.
[line ringing]
-Vargas.
-[Vargas] Lola.
-I was wondering when I'd hear--
-No, don't say a thing.
This is not what we had talked about.
No. I warned you it
wouldn't be pretty, didn't I?
-Yeah.
-So what's the issue?
I know you've got
peculiar ways of doing things,
but coming in to beat up
my friends was never--
-Lola, you knew what you were asking for.
-No!
You just needed someone
willing to do it, right?
Yes!
So there.
-You got what you wanted, didn't you?
-Yes.
Federico seemed very upset about it. Yes.
If I destroy the interview now,
will you think I'm a coward?
Yeah.
But we all are, myself included.
Look, I'm not in any kind of…
of position to lecture or advise anyone.
I think you do whatever
you think should be done.
[mouse clicking]
LEGACYFEDERICOSELIGMAN
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE ALL FILES?
DELETE
CANCEL
Gabriel, uh, I wanna know
what the hell you were actually thinking
when you gave the order
to have Enrique all beaten up.
Well, why, uh… why would I want
to do anything to Enrique?
Come on. I… I… I love all his books.
But I wonder,
what did you say in that interview
you thought I'd hate so much?
Trust me, you can relax.
I don't say that you were Mister X.
[chuckles]
I wish I was. [laughs]
State terrorism would've been
handled better.
[Federico] Well, all of this is
turning out to be quite sloppy instead.
Okay, then perhaps it wasn't us.
Sure. It seems you always have someone
else doing your dirty work.
I want a name now.
Look, if I were you,
I would get my own house in order
because it did get pretty dusty
while you were gone.
And I wouldn't look for more trouble.
This might just be
more than you're able to handle.
And I might say the same for you.
You don't wanna make me mad.
'Cause you're about half a scandal away
from a vote of no confidence.
What scandal are you threatening me with?
The Bruno thing was years ago.
That was a different government.
Yeah, but you were part of it too.
-[Guadalupe] Well…
-Hey, I can leave if you want. I don't…
No, it's better this way.
Till construction starts up again. Okay?
Right.
All right.
Goodbye.
[sighs]
[knocking at door]
How's it going?
What do you think?
It pisses me off
having to do this just because of Dad.
It's always like this.
He says jump, and we say, "How high?"
Oh my…
Sometimes, something good comes
from Dad's outbursts.
[laughs] Remember?
You dyed your hair. Oh my gosh.
It was the first time
your father left home.
Oh, I remember. [laughs]
You know, I don't think
anyone truly realizes
the difficulties you endure
to look like a liberal.
[both laugh]
Oh, my girl.
Mm.
[pensive music playing]
[Yolanda clears throat]
Andrés came to see me.
He wants me to vote for him
at the board meeting,
and I figure he's probably…
out doing the same thing with everyone.
And also, I… I assume he's not
simply using words to convince people.
Why're you telling me all this?
Helping me out like this?
[Yolanda] Mm… I don't know. I think…
I just want everything
to go back to the way it was.
[music becomes ominous]
I think the most important
thing is the interview.
It's the best way for us
to stand out in class.
You're right.
That's why I say we interview your dad.
It's the perfect starting point for us.
I think with you, he would open up
in a way he wouldn't with anyone else.
[huffs] No.
And plus, my dad's old fashioned.
-We'll do Yolanda.
-Yolanda?
Yeah.
What?
Yeah, but, Yolanda's so basic.
I mean, she's pretty boring you know?
[rock music playing in background]
I mean, my sister's a woman
who got herself a channel that pretty much
every streaming platform wants,
and she also pulled in some popular
Turkish soap operas out of thin air.
-Sorry.
-Okay.
Appealing to a female demographic…
…who was always overlooked.
Like, hello? Turkish soaps?
-[chuckles]
-Only you could see that coming.
You've also achieved
the… the perfect mix of, uh,
reality TV shows and hate-watching shows
that really seems to work.
-Couldn't have said it better.
-Of course.
Because she's family,
and I'm much more objective.
But you're just kissing her ass.
You're not interviewing her.
Lara, please don't, uh, interrupt the man.
[phone ringing]
Ask me. Go on.
No, just that…
I really admire what you're achieving
in a man's world.
It's not easy making entertainment.
Not everything can be highbrow catered
just for the elites, can it?
[crying]
-Yolanda, do you want to stop or…
-No. I'm sorry.
-This is so embarrassing.
-No, no.
No. Sorry.
It's just these last few days, I've been…
-Are you all right?
-Yeah, it's okay. I'm fine, I…
I just feel like
I spent my whole life trying to build,
struggling and fighting to make
something real and… genuine.
And it gets taken away.
I don't know.
You just sounded so… perceptive,
so… profound that I…
Anyway. I'm sorry. [chuckles]
What else? Any questions?
Like… like how everything works maybe.
Or better yet, how about if we, uh,
if we go someplace for happy hour?
-The three of us. It's on me. Yeah?
-Sure. I get to pick the place though.
-That's fine by me.
-[man] Let's go then.
-[club music plays]
-[man] That's why I'm here.
DISMISSAL VOTE
YES 6 NO 4
YES 5 NO 5
[no audible dialogue]
-[club music continues]
-[no audible dialogue]
Here we are, gentlemen.
-You look incredible.
-[chuckles]
-Would you like me to bring you another?
-Yes, thank you.
-This looks incredible. Thank you.
-Absolutely.
Just let me know when.
[music continues]
[Federico] I know what Andrés is up to.
Of course, you have the right to back him.
It is up to you. It's your decision.
But first, I'd like to explain
the way I view your position
within the company I helped establish.
[laughs] All right.
Enlighten me. Enlighten me.
Yeah, go ahead.
I do need a top journalist to walk me
through it, to explain what reality is.
You swooped in like
a bunch of vultures when I got sick.
You wasted no time at all.
Progresa seemed
like a typical company in hard times.
Your plan was to sell it.
To break it into smaller pieces,
and sell each of them off,
extracting everything you could
from the most profitable divisions.
The publisher, the channel,
the Latin American cable companies.
And continue making a lot of money,
which is clearly
the only concern of yours.
Yeah, well you don't have to
sound so disgusted by it.
Oh no, I'm not trying
to insult you right now.
To the contrary,
your interests are more than legitimate.
However, I don't think
that the ideological
and editorial direction of El Báltico
are included among them.
Yeah.
You very well could've come to me before
you felt obliged to ask me for this favor,
instead of the massive
shit-smearing campaign
you carried out
on the group's image and its value.
You see, the market
will stabilize and recover,
and the subscriptions will as well.
You see, markets do forget, but I don't.
We can get along, each in our own corner.
You and I don't have to be enemies.
-Yolanda, I really like you.
-And I really like you.
-[man] I really like you. Here.
-[Yolanda] Mwah, mwah!
-I've got something for you. Come here.
-No, I can't. I'm done.
-I can't keep up with you two.
-[man] Here. Here.
-[Lara] He's dangerous, this one.
-Come on, Yolanda.
[Yolanda] What?
Okay, just a bit, but it's the last one.
The last one.
Whatever you want.
-[Lara] Very last one.
-Yeah. Last one.
[club music playing faintly]
Ooh! This is making me all hot.
[laughs] Right?
[Lara] Hot, she says.
It's just making me super horny.
-You're making my sister horny.
-[man] It does, huh?
Not this guy. It's the Molly.
-Oh yeah, it's the Molly, Yolanda.
-Yeah, the Molly.
[Yolanda] Yolanda, the Molly. [giggles]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
-[Yolanda] Get it.
-[Lara] What?
[Yolanda giggles]
-So is he coming?
-[inhales]
I hope he does.
-Really?
-What?
-Go for it then.
-[Lara] What?
Go get León.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COPY YOLANDA'S DEVICE?
COPYING CONTENTS OF YOLANDA'S DEVICE
INCOMING CALL: BABY
[phone rings]
I know what you think.
At my age, the best thing to do is
be free and experiment.
But all I really wanna do is
tell him I love him, you know?
That's it.
But I'm not doing that.
[chuckles]
Can you imagine?
I mean, sexually,
we have this amazing connection.
Incredible.
Really? [laughs]
BACKING UP CONTEN
-[knocks at door]
-What?
Hey, what, are you taking a shit?
I'll be right out, Lara. Jeez.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[club music continues]
It's like, of all the guys I've been with,
he's right up there.
-Uh-huh, like…
-Yeah.
-The top of the top, hey?
-At the top. At the top.
How many guys have you been with?
-Mm, I don't know.
-How many?
-An appropriate number.
-Appropriate, like what?
-Mm. I was 15 my first time.
-Fifteen was your first time?
Five or six a year.
That's each year? That's not…
Well, in America it was more like, um…
Over there, it was, um… 15… 20…
Mm. Well. [laughs]
What? Are you slut-shaming now?
No! No, no, no.
I'm just a little, um… um… jealous.
[laughs] That's all.
No, I just feel like I'm a loser.
Like, what the hell
have I done with my life?
Some might say I was doing it just because
I couldn't deal
with my father dying in the hospital, so…
Well, at least you were present.
I didn't even… I wasn't…
And now he's back,
and… and there's all this tension, and um…
[Lara] It's normal, isn't it?
Selling your channel
without consulting you.
With me, he's much softer.
[indistinct chatter]
You may have to stand up to him.
That's it.
Because… I don't know,
he can't do that to you.
You can't always be the good girl.
The more you bend over,
the more that your ass shows.
[León] Oh man, I'm so frickin' high. Mm.
-[laughing]
-[León] I'm so gone.
What, what, what?
-Yolanda, do you like pink cocaine?
-Hmm?
-How about you? Actually, I don't care.
-[Yolanda] I don't want any.
-Yes, Yolanda!
-[Yolanda] No!
-Just a little.
-A little bit.
-[León] Have a little.
-Really, just a tiny bit.
[Yolanda] Less than that!
Less than that! Less…
-[sniffs] Yeah.
-[León] All right.
I know, sweetheart. This isn't any fun,
but we have to do it again
and again and again until you know it.
[sighs] I hate this.
"My parents still love me a whole bunch,
but they separated
so they wouldn't fight as much,
and now Mommy is living
at Grandma's house."
"The good thing is
I'm gonna get more birthday presents."
What are you talking about?
What do you think this is?
-[giggling]
-Don't overdo it!
No, listen, girls.
The important thing to remember
is that if no one asks you,
you don't have to say anything.
[tense music playing]
All right, but see, girls,
just think if this were really happening.
You wouldn't want to talk about it much.
Right?
-[Ruth] No.
-[girl 2] No.
Mama? Will you stay here
with us for breakfast?
Oh, honey, of course.
I'll be here all night.
-Give me a kiss?
-Yeah.
Sweetheart, good night.
Mm. I'll turn it off.
This is getting out of control.
No, I'd say we're well past that point.
I'm starting to think a fake divorce
may be more traumatic than a real one.
Not funny.
No, but… if you don't laugh
at my stupid jokes, I want a real divorce.
[chuckles]
[both sigh]
[Manuel] Okay. It'll all be all right.

-I don't think you know her.
Clearly you don't know her.
Because, from the beginning,
she said she didn't want anything serious.
Okay?
Anyway, Yolanda,
you and I only fucked one time.
One time because I put a stop to it, Luis.
I see. So you got it all figured out.
No, no, no. I've got you figured out.
Oh yeah?
I've seen the way you're looking

I think you're thinking

Mm. Yeah, sure.

[in English] We're great.
You're right about that.

[Federico] I don't care if he's a cop

I wanna know
who broke into Enrique's house.
-Do you understand?
-Morning, Dad.
[Federico] Did work run over?
A little. Am I in trouble?
No, no, no. You're right at that age
to go goof around.
Between you and me,
everything you do before the age of 30
has a get-out clause,
but… do be careful doing drugs.
I understand,
it's all right, you gotta experiment.
-But use your head, please.
-Yeah.
If you tell your mother I said that,
I'll never admit it.
[laughs]
All right then, go to bed.
No, wait a minute.
Sit down.
Here.
I've got something… I wanna say.
Uh… [laughs] I'm a little high.
-[Federico] A little?
-A little bit.
I just wanna say it now
because tomorrow I'm sure I won't do it.
Tell me.
I love you so much.
And I know you're screwed up, and…
and there's a bunch of fighting
now with your children,
with a lot of others too, right?
But Yolanda…
It's just that Yolanda
is an awesome woman.
And I think you have to give her a chance.
She's not what you may think,
and she doesn't deserve what you did.
Hey, if you'd done that to me…
I don't know, but, anyway,
if you and I… Tss…
If you and I end up like that one day,
remember today, Dad.
I know I'm high,
but it's true what I said.
That you love me?
Yes, and so does Yolanda. We both do, Dad.
We all love each other very much.
-Mm…
-Okay. Okay, come on. You go to bed.
[Lara sighs] Mm.

LETICIA BELMONTE
SOCIAL INTEGRATION CENTER
[man] Andrés Seligman
will now present his case.
[tense music continues]
Everyone who's present today knows
that the problems at El Báltico
are not of my doing
nor of the paper's editorial stance,
as suggested by a competitor's article.
It's not a competitor's article.
It is the opinion
of one of our original founders,
who appears to not have
a place at this newspaper.
It's the opinion of someone who has been
out of the editorial game for two years.
Well, it's easy… to come back and…
and sit there longing
for the good old days,
but a newspaper's also a business,
and the books have to balance.
But it seems like my father
no longer cares about the books,
as demonstrated clearly
by the drop in the group's stock price.
And he alone caused that with his article.
This all seems
like a typical inner-family squabble.
-And no one here really cares--
-[Andrés] No, forgive me.
But I will not stand here and be accused
of selling the very credibility
of El Báltico, no less.
And especially not
from a guy who… who has empowered
a certain party over many years
despite them being embroiled
in cases of corruption,
influence peddling,
and even state terrorism.
There have been a lot of tough decisions
made these last 40 years.
Questionable, I admit.
But all made after considering
what the ultimate greater good is.
Like now, you mean?
Who did you have in mind
when you published the article?
It certainly seems
like it wasn't the employees
working here in this department.
Think about them when you are voting.
Don't vote by inertia,
don't vote for… tradition,
or for loyalty to someone
who has betrayed us.
[man] Okay, if no one else
would like to speak,
let's proceed to voting
on the dismissal of Andrés Seligman.
I've got something to say
if you'll give me a minute.
I think what Andrés is saying
goes a bit beyond whether or not
we keep him in his current role.
It's being alleged very eloquently,
thank you, Andrés,
that Federico Seligman has made
deliberate acts
against the interests of Grupo Progresa.
So I'm sorry to say that
I find myself obliged to file
an official complaint here today
against Federico Seligman
for unfair administration,
which will be a matter
for the judges to decide.
You were just waiting
for the perfect opportunity to attack me?
Sorry to tell you,
but it's not gonna work.
El Báltico and Grupo Progresa
are not like your other companies.
-You see, here we still have principles.
-I second that motion.
[Aguirre] Shall we vote?
-Let's see how many allies you have left.
-[man] Fine.
All those who are
in favor of suing Federico Seligman
for his unfair administration…
raise your hand, please.
[tense music continues]
What is this?
What on earth are you doing?
This is what you get when you decide
to put your dim-witted daughter
in so many positions here.
Especially on the board.
'Cause in order to backstab,
you don't really need talent, Dad.
Let's see how you sell my channel now.
[Federico coughs]
[music intensifies]
The motion to sue Federico Seligman
has passed.
[Andrés] Aguirre!
-[woman 1] She's perfect.
-[woman 2] Yes.
[woman 1] You couldn't have chosen better.
The right profile. Let's hope she accepts.
Lupe. I'll tell her.
Why're you suing my dad?
And why wasn't I told?
Yeah, his face was something to see,
but… supporting me was enough.
You don't get it, do you, Andrés?
I don't want you here.
You have served your purpose.
You can't fire me now.
We didn't even vote.
No one is firing you. Okay?
Your contract's up in eight months,
and it simply won't be renewed.
Someone else much more qualified
is in the wings
who's got more reach than you
and actually deserves it more.
The best part is
there'll be no more family dramas.
Cheer up, Tito. You're a Seligman!
In the end, we decided
to put forward another name
for the ministry who'd be likely
more supported than Ibon.
Anyway… we've been working off…
off of a list of five or six names,
but we really all agree
that the one person who's most ideal is…
[laughs]
…is your mother.
She's perfect.
[sighs]
I don't know.
I'm not sure it's a good idea
to corner Federico like that.
So soon, anyway.
Share prices are going to fall.
That's for sure.
Indeed.
[Vargas] Anyway, money is
the least of our concerns here.
What's at stake here
is your government.
