Thank you.
He wants to talk to you.
Hello. This is Bambino.
I don't know, but I'll tell her.
Don't worry. I'll tell her.
Then I'll let you know.
I'll get back to you, boss.
- Just one week. - So we have one week.
- Luciano says he can't wait any longer. - Why did you say yes?
- We won't finish by the end of the week. - He said not a day more.
I've found us a chemist that knows how to do it,
but the country house is still up in the air.
- Why? - Because it's abandoned.
It's useless anyway. It's too far away.
Exactly. We agreed to find something that wouldn't draw attention.
When the neighbours from the surrounding towns
see our trucks driving through, there'll be problems.
- We need to... - You haven't seen it.
Are we going to spend the whole week arguing?
Are you the boss, or not?

What are you doing, you clown?
Why don't you go back to the zoo? They'll have saved your place.
Mirta. She's caused another scene again.
Get me that house for tomorrow by the latest. Hmm?
Whatever it takes. All right?
Let's see what's going on out there.
Mirta!
It's not my fault.
- Is it going to be the same every night? - Be careful with the people you let in.
Come on. Out!
- Out! - Get him the fuck out.
- Don't come back here. - Let me go.
Get off.
Helena.
He's my brother.
Let go.
He made a scene just 'cause he felt like it, eh?
I didn't steal anything, I swear.
Nothing is anyone's fault.
Why are you here, Mateo?
You don't fool me.
Okay. You are the boss.
Of everything. All those men do whatever you say.
How did you know I was here?
It wasn't that difficult.
You've been sending money to Madrid for a year.
From Naples.
We didn't know what to think.
But last week, the money came from Barcelona.
To find that out, I had to flirt with the girl serving me.
I've worked a lot.
I've been lucky.
Thank God somebody is, no?
And the girl? How is she? Where is she?
I just know her from the photos you sent in the post.
Looks like me, don't you think?
I mean, don't worry, I'll give it back. I swear.
- Maybe I can sit at the bar. - No.
Arístides.
Take my brother to a boarding house. Any will do.
When you leave, hand over the cash.
- Not before. - Why? He's your brother.
He really won't care once he has the cash. That's why he's here.
Just trust me on this.
Mateo, come here.
You're going with him.
You're the boss, sister.
Let's go.
Just a minute. I'm nearly finished.
Hey! You're back.
People who go on holiday need to make up for it.
Every day on the beach will cost you. How are we doing?
Fine.
How was Majorca?
We were lucky. We had good weather, I guess.
All right, I'm ready. Let's go, darling, it's late.
Vinuesa, I hear they've reopened the Albatros.
- It would be best if you didn't go there. - Too late.
Don't keep chasing ghosts, Vinuesa.
I forbid you to set foot in that club. That's an order.
Vinuesa!
That's "Yes, sir."
Yes, sir.
- All right, let's go. Come on. - Are you giving me orders as well?
The ones you need to hear, yes.
And don't speak to me like that. You understand?
This boarding house isn't bad. I know the owner here.
Five duros more, she'll fry a couple eggs for breakfast.
So she's the boss, my sister. I can't believe it.
- No, thank you. - So you let a woman order you around?
Isn't that degrading?
Any more siblings?
There's quite an age difference with you and your sister.
Helena's dad, he passed away.
But then I guess my mom got remarried after that.
I arrived when no one was expecting me.
From what I see, I can see a pattern.
Thanks for that, man.
Psst! Hey?
- Huh? - Behave yourself.
It has to last a while.
Yeah, of course I will.

I asked the notary about your properties. He told me about this.
- I didn't expect this. - May I ask what you were expecting?
Well, you need to know a seller's secrets before you go ahead
and sign a purchase with them.
- You need to eliminate risks. - Is this a business visit?
Yes, of course.
Shall we dance?

♪ You'll remember… ♪

Very much so.

Were you related to Malpica?
No.
So why did he make you his heir?
Are you doing all this so I'll lower the price?
I just want to see you dance.
I don't care about the rest.
If we don't reach an agreement, we'll have to just keep negotiating.
All right.
You got a problem?
The whole thing is ours. The owners left this morning.
What do you think?
BLANCAFORT WINERY
This guy's just been dragged out of bed.
Can we trust this man?
He's a chemist and he hasn't got a job?
He owes a lot of people a lot of money.
Poker. It's…
It's worse than poison.
Hache, let me introduce Rodolfo Corominas.
I didn't know I'd be coming to work for a woman.
So, can you set up a lab here?
The house belongs to a family who've been producing vermouth for years.
Off the land here.
Nineteen percent.
Pretty strong.
We'll have to deep clean all of this, yeah?
And don't drink the water. It comes out muddy.
Ugh. It's pretty shit.
These aren't the right conditions. It's too humid in here.
- On top of that, if you say the water... - You have to do it here, hmm?
We can bring you whatever you want. Whatever you need. This afternoon, okay?
- Are you going to work alone? - Uh, no.
I'll bring my sons with me. They already know what to do.
I won't need to be hovering over their shoulder.
We can set up camp here.
It's best if we can keep an eye on everything, both day and night.
Good. Uh, let's see.
And how long until you finish?
The goods. Will the opium be raw,
or have you already extracted the morphine?
No, we don't use opium. Morphine. Impure morphine. Understand?
Once here, it will need a purification process.
Then after that, we turn it into heroin,
and the process is refining the product for consumption.
What else do you need?
Ammonia, charcoal,
calcium oxide, acetone, and acetic anhydride.
But I can bring that. It's a little unstable.
And I'll need some morphine to test the circuit.
What do you mean, test the circuit?
The truck's coming on Thursday. That's in two days.
Yeah, if I don't test the circuit, I can't be responsible for the outcome.
- I'll bring you the morphine. - All right.
Hello?
Arrested? Why? What's he done?
What did he do?
He's thrown a punch at basically everyone. It's a miracle he's not in the hospital.
- Was he arrested by you? - I found out this morning.
- Let go. I shouldn't be here. - Shut up.
Get in there.
When I got here, I was told a Mateo Rodríguez had been arrested,
and I should see him.
He didn't stop screaming he was the brother
of the owner of the Albatros.
He reeked of booze.
I haven't done anything. How many times do I have to explain?
Hey. Quieten down.
No, you quieten down.
Who's this? You the chief? I've been robbed. You know that?
I had a lot of money on me. A lot. And I've been robbed.
And you bring me here and tie me up like a dog.
- Sit down and we'll talk. - Don't touch me.
Are you all right?
What will you do?
If you pay the damages, I don't think they'll press charges.
Oh? Right. And so, why are you calling me?
If you want to get him out, he has to be picked up by you.
From the station.
Or else I can leave him in the cells for two more nights,
and we'll see what the judge has to say.
He has previous for theft and assault, and now he's attacked two policemen.
Serious stuff.
- Your sister's coming. - She'll get me out of here.
Do you live in Barcelona?
I arrived four days ago.
Are you here to work for her?
Get me a glass of water. My mouth's dryer than a desert.
Bring that glass here.
Why is she back at the Albatros?
Am I getting out of here or not?
You know the owner of the Albatros was killed there in his own club?
Three bullets.
Malpica. Have you heard of the guy?
Where is he?
What other surprises do you have up your sleeve?
Any other family members you want to introduce to me?
Look, I'm here, aren't I? I want to see him.
Sit down.
I haven't introduced you. Alano González. He's with the crime unit.
Helena Olaya.
It's a pleasure.
Some people call her Hache.
Put yourself in my shoes, Alano.
No news from her in a whole year. She disappeared.
But then she's back in Barcelona, she hires a load of staff,
and reopens the Albatros.
A few days later, her brother shows up and he turns out to be a scoundrel.
The best part of it all?
She expects me to believe that it's normal.
All's normal.
You're keeping my brother here till I say what you want to hear?
I don't understand what's going on.
Sign there.
He's an adult. He has no home address or job for that matter.
This will make you responsible for any expenses he may have to settle.
There is one thing I find curious.
Your brother knew very little about you and Malpica.
I had to bring him up to speed.
Get in there.
What's heroin then?
Is it true how much money's in it?
Everything that policeman said was to turn you against me.
- He's taking you for a fool. - Does he have it in for you?
From now on, you sleep at the Albatros. I'd rather have you near.
Arístides will explain how things work around there.
And buy him a suit, Aristides.
Thank you, sis. You won't regret...
Shut up, will you?
Bring it down by half a tone, for now.
Not going to ruin my throat for a handful of drunks.
Wait a second. First you play the intro,
and then I'll come in, okay?
Have you lost something?
No.
I'm just here watching.
We're working here, boy. You have to pay to watch this.
- I happen to be the owner's brother. - Ah!
Do you want a medal or something?
Excuse me. I have something for Helena Olaya. Is she here?
Come on.
Helena. These just arrived for you.
What are you... No, I'll give them to her.
- Come on. - Back off. I said I'll give them to her.
Come on. Can we get back to business?
The truck is arriving tomorrow night, so we have time.
Everything's nearly ready.
Yes, but Corominas hasn't appeared yet. His sons have no idea where he is.
This guy!
He'll be playing cards in some dive somewhere.
I'll find him.
Get him and take him to the lab.
- I'll meet you there for the test. - Come on.
Malpica's suit. You've outdone yourself.
And who's the note from?
- Why did you put that on? - What's wrong?
I prefer it. And it suits me.
Take it off. Get the one from Arístides.
And who am I going with? With them or with you?
Stay here till I come back. You do nothing.
- But... - I said don't do anything.
Put those flowers in water.
Hi there.
I'm Mateo, Helena's brother.
I know who you are.
The crazy brother.
I'm Piero. Piero Felice.
Camino's husband.
Camino? Who's Camino?
Camino.
Camino's husband.
Ladies and gentlemen, in this corner of the ring,
the chemist from El Guinardó, Rodolfo Corominas.
Looking like a sack of dog shit, but ready to fight.
Isn't that right, maestro?
Make your dad a coffee. He didn't have time for breakfast.
Is this enough to do it?
I hope it is.
Put that out!
Acetic anhydride. It's very, very flammable. Put it out.
Okay, okay.
- The stench of vinegar is killing me. - That's it. It's ready?
Not yet. This is heroin, pure, 100%.
It has to cool and crystallize.
Did it go well? Tell me the truth.
I'll be able to answer that tomorrow. We just have to be patient, hmm?
I'll get it!
Mom!
My, look at that grin!
Someone's come to visit.
Said he's my uncle.
See? I'm getting the hang of it. Right, Héctor?
Mateo, I said to do nothing.
What have I done?
I'm sorry. He came with Piero.
Hello.
Tina, come on. It's time to eat.
Angelines.
Wait a second. Bye.
Why didn't you tell me I have a nephew as well?
Wait until I tell Mom.
You won't tell her anything. Why are you here?
- Stop sticking your nose in everything! - What's the matter?
I've given you cash, got you out of that cell, even offered you a bed!
If you're not going to do as I say, you can go back home!
Helena…
for me, this is about joy.
The children. My sister.
I want to be with you.
Help you out at the Albatros.
You came because you thought you could get something. I know so.
No, don't believe that.
I came because I needed help, Helena. But I think I can also help you.
Yeah, yeah. Much obliged.
And?
Neither of them had anything. If they did, they would have told me.
They owe me a lot of favours. What about you?
I've been in contact with the airport, the train station, the port…
We're taking shots in the dark.
If Hache is in Barcelona, the heroin must be getting in somehow.
- Yeah. - Don't come if you don't want to.
All I'm asking is you don't tell the commissioner about it.
If you get any leads, then you will have to tell him.
I'm not part of the crime unit.
If I find something, I'm not sharing it. For what?
So we put our necks on the line and end up with nothing?
- Where are you going? - To the port.
There's a cargo ship coming from Palermo. I'm gonna have a look. Coming or not?
Hey.
- A Cuba libre. - Don't get him anything.
You want a drink, you have to earn it, okay?
How do I earn it?
Just watch.
- You know how to watch? - Yeah.
Stand up there behind the railing,
and if you see anything strange, come and tell me, okay?
And it's me who decides when you get to have a drink, all right?
- Is that clear? - Crystal clear.
Right. Get me a soda.
What's happening, Ventu?
What's happening, Ventura? I thought you'd chickened out.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
- Hello. - This is Helena.
- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Carlota and Oriol.
How are you?
- Hello. - Hi. How are you?
So let's make a move. Or we'll be late to the polo club.
- We're not going. - All the better.
I can't stand those dinners.
They always start talking about their own shit and ignore us.
We're training for a race we're gonna do in Montjuïc.
They like breaking the law.
You know that's banned, right? They pretend to be bad guys.
And you brought us here so we can see how bad you are?
- Yeah. - Exactly, man!
- Come on, let's get moving. - Let's go.
This is the starting line. Just two laps, I swear.
If he beats me, I'll pay what you're asking for the cement factory.
Go on, Ori.
- Wish me luck. - Come on.
Three…
Go!
I bet his parents love that he does this, no?
Yeah, they certainly do.
They fear he might ruin them.
When Ventura wants something, he won't stop until he gets it.
- Hmm. - How do you know each other?
His company wants to buy land from me, to build apartments.
Yeah, that's all his father thinks about. Apartments and nothing else.
I don't know where he'll find people to fill those apartments, to be frank.
They're coming.
Ori! Come on, Ori!
You okay?
Do I seem familiar? I don't think we've met before.
I was going to advise you.
- Please. - Don't get your hopes up with Ventura.
To begin with, it's all good. But then he forgets about you.
I never get my hopes up. Never. I expect the worst, and I'm usually right.
Okay.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh!
- Ventu! Are you all right? - Are you okay?
- I'm fine, yeah. - Are you sure? Don't stand up.
- Let go. I'm fine. - Shit!
- I'm fine.
Not a scratch on me. Not a scratch.
Seriously, you're insane!
I won, right?
- I won. - Yeah!
Shit, man!
Hello?
Julio.
- It's me. How's it going? - The laboratory is almost ready.
This is more than she can handle.
Let her do things her way. She'll fall at the first hurdle.
We could do something to speed things up, don't you think?
Perhaps.
So that we get a call from Naples asking us, very nicely, to fix things.
Is that clear?
Completely clear.
Perfect.
Here. Do you know where I was this morning?
The cement factory.
It's kind of strange. I mean, I get why you want to sell it,
but if we don't buy it, I don't think anyone else will.
Did you fall off the motorbike to impress me?
What are you talking about? I nearly killed myself.
Why have you brought me out here?
- What's wrong? Don't you like it? - Mm.
We could've had dinner with your friends at the polo club.
At the polo? It's awful.
You never asked if I wanted to go.
You want to go to the polo?
Hey, I'll take you.
It's the most boring place in the world, but I'll take you.
I think it's best if we don't see each other again.
Fuck!
Hey! Hey!
Water! Get the water! The hose.
There's a knot in the hose. Here! Here!
Sorry, Hache.
The chemist is here. There's been a fire at the laboratory.
What do you mean?
- What are you saying? - That's what he said.
I'm really sorry.
What do you mean, a fire?
I don't know. I came up straight to tell you. I hardly spoke to him.
Come on.
He told us it could burst into flames at any moment,
and with the poor ventilation we have there…
I woke up coughing because I could smell burning.
I went to have a look and saw the raging fire.
- What have we lost? - We'll have to repeat the test.
It's not that simple. Have I lost my laboratory?
- I have to take my time... - Take your time?
All right. It's just that we have to set it up all over again.
The truck's already crossed the border. It has to be done tonight.
Yes, I don't know. I don't understand.
We checked everything yesterday before going to bed.
- Where's Arístides? - I don't know, Hache.
Don't worry about this. We'll fix it.
Listen, we'll give you all the people you need to set up again.
And don't breathe a word of this to anyone, you hear me?
- Piero doesn't have to know about it. - No, of course not. No.
Come with me.
Hey!
What's the matter?
Come here.
- Were you spying on us? - What?
Mateo!
Get back upstairs.
I'm going to bed, okay? I haven't slept a wink all night.
Well, me neither.
I had no idea where you were.
Sorry. I should have told you beforehand.
We spent the whole night at the port for nothing.
Then we went to the Estación de Francia.
We just got back from our honeymoon.
Alejandro, stop fooling yourself, won't you?
You can't go on acting like there's an investigation.
Nobody's asked you to do this. It's not even your department.
I'm your wife and I also work at that station.
I have to do it.
I'll get you something to eat.
Corominas told Bambino they had a bit of a problem with the gas.
I think he bought it.
I want them to mix it with salt. Or bicarbonate of soda. Anything.
I need to produce more than what we've got.
- If Luciano finds out... - I don't work for free.
Luciano is no exception.
