Fearing for his life, Muro self-inflicts injuries in prison. After escaping to the hospital, he forms an alliance with the Albanians. Miranda is pressured by Quesada, the cartel leader. It is revealed that Gema Valdés did not die and is undergoing rehabilitation after months in a coma. Nando proposes to Diosdado to increase their profits by bringing drugs via submarine, but he needs a partner:

With the help of Andrea, a young narco boat manufacturer, Nando facilitates Joao's escape. Muro and the Albanians kidnap Miranda. Gema tries to make a living as an honest citizen, while the 'marriage' of Boza-Merino begins to falter thanks to the cunning of Anxo. Muro swears to Quesada to defend the cartel's interests in Galicia.

The drugs arrive in Galicia in two semi-submersibles, leaving Dani and her new partner, Lieutenant Novoa, powerless. The Diosdado-Joao-Nando triumvirate debuts successfully. In prison, Anxo assassinates Merino on Boza's orders. Muro orders the Albanians to issue a 'search and capture' order for Barreira. Dani is suspended from her duties by Carmo due to the judge Andrade's inaction.
