The plot thickens when the extortionists carry out their threats, but they also help Victor when he least expects it.
More and more people die in strange circumstances, the guilt that Victor feels is unbearable and his world is crumbling. In Madrid the protests begin.
When Victor confesses everything to Monica, she begins to have doubts. Chief Inspector Conte becomes obsessed with the case.
After Mónica distances herself, Victor takes a gamble with Conte to foil Midas, and tries to redistribute his fortune. The protests continue.
Victor is at a crossroads and has to decide what steps to take. Everything, absolutely everything (love, family and fortune) depend on it.
