Caronte

Caronte verlässt Gijón, um Javier Sáez in Madrid zu verteidigen, wie von seinem Freund Edurne gewünscht und von seiner Freundin Natalia ermutigt. Caronte kehrt in das Haus seiner Familie im traditionellen Viertel Manzanares zurück und wird mit seinem alten Leben und seinem Sohn Guillermo konfrontiert, den er seit 10 Jahren nicht mehr gesehen hat.

The positive development of the trial against Javier Sáez sees Caronte receive an offer from the lawyer Marta Pelayo to team up on the case of Hilario Méntrida, a father accused of having killed his daughter by drowning her in a lake. Aurelio, former colleague and a friend of Caronte’s from the precinct, lends him a hand with the investigation into the Vanessa Mentrida case.

Caronte is told the unwelcome news that Jorge López has escaped during his transfer to prison. Meanwhile, a new defendant comes knocking at Caronte’s door. Tomás is an old friend from his time inside, who has been refused several release permits and is unable to see his wife Sara or his eight-year-old step-daughter, Luna.

Caronte is attempting to recover from the blow over Tomás’ case when Marta comes to him with a new investigation. This time, a pensioner named Gloria has been accused of stabbing Bosco, the maintenance man in her block of flats. At home, Natalia looks after Kolya for a few hours and discovers Caronte’s neighbour, Irina, is a prostitute.

Natalia returns to Gijón with the hope that Caronte will soon join her, but the lawyer’s impressive performance in court has rewarded him with a new case. Jennifer is a prostitute who stands accused of killing a client in a brothel while they were engaged in sexual activity. Aurelio goes to the precinct’s warehouse and discovers the pistol which killed Jorge was seized from the Russian mafia.

Caronte’s sister Paula gets beaten up by her husband Rodrigo, who then runs off. Despite refusing to do so at first, Paula eventually reports him and Aurelio tells Caronte about what happened. Caronte moves his sister and his niece, Irene, into his home and helps them throughout the reporting process, although Paula comes up against an aggressive judge who refuses to believe her.

Marta überzeugt Richter Arauez, dass Caronte zur Verteidigung seiner Schwester gehandelt hat, sodass er freigelassen werden konnte, obwohl Martas Anwalt nun suspendiert wird. Im Gerichtsgebäude entdeckt Marta, dass Cleo Torres, der vorgeworfen wird, ihrer Schwester, die an einer degenerativen Krankheit litt, beim Selbstmord geholfen zu haben, mitten im Prozess ohne Anwalt dasteht.

Julia bittet Caronte, Miguel zu verteidigen, einen Lehrer, der beschuldigt wird, seine Schülerin Alicia ermordet zu haben, mit der er eine romantische Beziehung hatte. Caronte akzeptiert den Fall, obwohl Guillermo, Alicias Freund, Miguel für schuldig hält. Caronte findet Beweise gegen Kommissar Paniagua.

After the accident and after being discharged from hospital, Caronte takes care of Natalia, worried about the baby’s health. Meanwhile, the lawyer teams up with Marta on Adeyemi’s case, a sub-Saharan immigrant accused of stealing the chalice from the village parish, something which he strongly denies. The lawyer is also concerned about the disappearance of the gun he stole from Paniagua.

Nach dem Fall Adeyemi verteidigen Marta und Caronte Adela und Rosa, eine Mutter und Tochter, denen vorgeworfen wird, eine Leiche in der Wand ihres Kinderzimmers versteckt zu haben. Die Untersuchung wird dunkle Geheimnisse enthüllen, von denen selbst Adela nichts wusste. Nach einem tragischen Verlust beschließt Natalia, nach Gijón zurückzukehren, um sich von dem Geschehenen zu distanzieren.

The split with Natalia leaves Caronte at a low point. He wants to give free reign to his emotions and take revenge on Paniagua, but Aurelio stops him in time. In court, Caronte and Marta tackle a controversial case in which Ana, a poor girl, has accused a group of boys from well-off families of rape.

Während Caronte sich voll und ganz darauf konzentriert, Paniagua zu entlarven, arbeitet Marta allein an einem Fall, der ganz in ihrer Nähe liegt. Ihr Ex-Freund Mario könnte im Gefängnis landen, weil er einen Kollegen unter Drogeneinfluss angegriffen hat. Zur gleichen Zeit organisiert Guillermo eine große Party in Carontes Haus, bei der ein mysteriöser Mann Carontes Waffe nimmt.

Caronte is sent to prison, accused of murdering Toni after Paniagua had staged the whole thing to frame him. Marta gets down to work and, with Aurelio’s help, collects different pieces of evidence to convince the judge the commissioner had set it all up. Just when Caronte believed he’d lost all contact with Natalia, his ex reappears in Madrid to talk to him.
