But he didn't deserve to die like that, fuck. It was my fault, Pello. And if I've told you this, it was to avenge his death. Speaker 1 (0:21) Have you ever thought about the victims, man? I Speaker 6 (0:22) just wanted to protect you, okay? You're not Speaker 1 (0:24) good at protecting people. Speaker 1 (0:27) Tell me, Dani. Hey Rosa, what is all this about Operation Dominó? We don't know yet, but it looks like something big. Speaker 3 (0:35) Cáceres was finished, but he has organized his master plan. To get the corrupt list out of him. Operation Domina. Speaker 1 (0:44) And it is decreed to release the trust of half a million euros with passport retention and prohibition of leaving the national territory. Your client will have the obligation to present every 15 days as a police officer. Speaker 7 (0:57) We're leaving, aren't we? You're not. But... If you don't care, I'd rather go alone. Speaker 8 (1:04) To Estepona, sir? Speaker 7 (1:06) No, to Madrid. I'll stay at the Palace. Very well. I have some matters to resolve before I go home. Speaker 2 (1:18) Here you go. As usual. Thank you. Speaker 2 (1:23) Hey, you talked to Daniela again. Speaker 2 (1:27) No, because I la tienes Speaker 1 (1:31) Ayo. Speaker 1 (1:37) I'm sorry about Speaker 6 (1:38) what happened. I should have told you. They Speaker 1 (1:41) released Speaker 6 (1:41) the Speaker 1 (1:41) CIC. Speaker 6 (1:43) What? Are you sure? Speaker 1 (1:45) Yes. They said it on the radio a while ago. Speaker 6 (1:48) Well, don't worry. He doesn't have to come for you. He doesn't have to do anything to Speaker 1 (1:52) you. Speaker 6 (1:52) It's just that Speaker 1 (1:52) Lazik threatens me, Ope, and I... When he called me on the phone a few days ago, he threatened me. Speaker 7 (1:58) Eso me convierte también en un hombre roncoroso cuando me siento Speaker 6 (2:02) traicionado. Have you thought about something? Speaker 1 (2:07) Well, move to my parents' house, nobody knows that. I'm Speaker 6 (2:11) going with you. No, Speaker 1 (2:12) no, no, really. No, Speaker 6 (2:13) okay? I've already failed you once, I won't leave you alone. Speaker 1 (2:17) Fuck. Speaker 6 (2:20) What is the plan? Speaker 1 (2:22) 48 hours. It's the time I need to write the truth about all this. Speaker 4 (2:33) The Chasers, a sound fiction in Dolby Atmos based on the novel by Fernando Benzo. Written and directed by Pablo Lara. Speaker 4 (2:45) For a complete immersive experience, we recommend listening to it with headphones. Speaker 4 (2:53) Chapter 8. Neighborhood Boys. Speaker 1 (2:56) It's Speaker 4 (2:57) very Speaker 1 (2:57) important to make me come to the editorial office at 5 in the morning, Rosa. That way we make sure there's no one. It's a delicate matter. That's why Daniela has a bodyguard. What? She's not my bodyguard. She's just a friend who worries about me. I suppose after the robbery you'll be careful. Well, what do you bring me? Four articles. A whole series. The first one develops Roque Cardoso and his role in the relationship between Zoran Lazic, Gabriel Melgar and Luis Cáceres. And in these three, the information of everything previously published in La Verdad is expanded. Why don't you publish it in La Verdad? You all work there. Well, I don't anymore. I didn't know anything. It's a long story. Yes. Speaker 1 (3:43) We have to admit that all this is a bomb. It's very good. Well, there's still more. Look. Speaker 1 (3:52) Are these photos real? Like life itself. Speaker 1 (3:57) Very well, we will go ahead. Are you sure? With all the consequences? With all the consequences. Wow! Who doesn't like to blow up the bomb? Yes or no? Speaker 3 (4:12) My name is Roque Cardoso and for many years I have been a man of law. Speaker 3 (4:18) However, sometimes one has to seek life and ends up making friends even in hell. Speaker 3 (4:27) That's where the famous vampire Zoran Lassig appeared, with whom I have maintained a close business relationship for many years. the good of the old dog in his own created a list of police and civil guards as a currency of change in the settlement of his sentence with the always elegant interior minister luis cáceres Some of those cops will not hesitate to charge me after being arrested in the famous Domino operation. Speaker 3 (5:00) What Lácik didn't know was that Cáceres had proposed to accept the negotiation with the vampire in exchange for me helping him to mark a political success with the arrest of the businessman Gabriel Melgar, also known as Dardo. a smuggler who has been avoiding justice for years all this will sound to them because the journalist daniela lozano had already talked about it now it is I who tell them that everything is true Speaker 3 (5:32) If I tell you all this, it's because I smile every time I see Luis Cáceres on TV talking about Operation Domino. An operation that is nothing more than a runaway from the minister, betraying the previous negotiations with both LACIC and me. Speaker 3 (5:50) Filmed by Roque Cardoso. Speaker 3 (6:18) You're a good person. One who never fails. Well, you know me. I have my character. My husband is the one who suffers. A man with luck, no doubt. Enjoy your meal. Thank you. Go ahead. Speaker 2 (6:32) Well, Speaker 6 (6:32) I'm leaving. Speaker 1 (6:34) And stop smoking in the office, Roque! Speaker 8 (6:58) Nuevamente. I have once again experienced a conspiracy towards this government and towards myself. I don't feel all this more than, excuse the expression, a fan spreading shit and revenge. However, we cannot lose control of the situation and... and we will put all our means to use to investigate... Fuck, Speaker 1 (7:23) he's not tired of lying, huh? This one Speaker 6 (7:27) was for the government president. Yes, yes. Speaker 8 (7:33) I never, I repeat, I never met him. I never, I Speaker 1 (7:36) repeat, I never... My God, what a disgust I have him, please. Speaker 8 (7:39) I never met him, I never talked to him. Speaker 1 (7:43) Eh, tell me, tell me Rosa. Get ready, they're going to release the first article in ten minutes. Oh, the Cardoso one? Yes. They're also going to release the photo you gave them, the one of him with Cáceres eating in the restaurant. You're going to sink them, Dani. Well, well, well, we'll see, we'll see. We'll talk later. Okay. Bye. Bye, bye, bye. Speaker 1 (8:03) Pello, they're going to release the article and the photos. Speaker 6 (8:05) Fuck yeah. Speaker 6 (8:07) You're not going to tell me who sent you the photos, right? Speaker 1 (8:10) No. Speaker 6 (8:13) What are you doing? I'm turning Speaker 1 (8:15) off my phone. I don't want to live like the last time. This time I want to rest. Speaker 1 (8:20) Gordy! Tell me! Give me a drink, please! Speaker 1 (8:26) The national audience has just issued the search and capture order against Zora Lászic. A car Speaker 8 (8:31) has been revoked. For this government to have the decency to say, man, they caught me with their hands in the face. The government Speaker 1 (8:36) has appeared in the media condemning the behavior of the former minister and remarks that neither the president nor any Speaker 4 (8:42) other member of the government had knowledge of the relations of Cáceres with Zora Lászic or Roque Cardoso. Speaker 1 (8:53) Pello, Pello, someone's coming in. Speaker 6 (8:55) Who else has keys? Speaker 1 (8:57) I don't know. Speaker 1 (9:00) Hello? Fuck! Daniela! Fuck, Rosa, you scared me, girl! Can you tell me what the fuck you're doing with your phone off? I don't know, I'm resting a little, girl. But girl, have you seen the one who's been messing around? She's quit Cáceres! Fuck! This very afternoon. But not only that, everyone is talking about you on social media. Daniela Lozano is right. Daniela Lozano deserves the forgiveness of all. Fuck! Everyone who criticized you now is putting you in the clouds. And Antonio? What does he say? He hasn't left his office all day. Oh, my God. He's so angry. Speaker 6 (9:30) Congratulations, Daniela. You've won. Speaker 1 (9:33) Well, well, well. You know how it is. You win today and tomorrow you lose again. So, calm down. What are you going to do? Are you going to call Antonio? No, I don't know. I don't feel like talking to him. Why don't you go back to the newspaper? What? Tell me, fatty. Pello, sorry to call you. Speaker 2 (9:52) What's up? Dardo called. What does he want to see you? Speaker 6 (10:05) Hey! Trampos! Hey, I'm coming! Speaker 8 (10:14) Joder, Peyo. I've been listening to the news Speaker 6 (10:17) before. Yes, it was a good one. Ah, you got that? Yes, of course.
