Osorio

A van of six riot police is sent to carry out an eviction in the center of Madrid. Normally two or three teams attend, but it is August, there are few troops and they must go alone. The eviction is difficult and hard, but just when they believe that everything is under control, the most violent and youngest of the six makes a bad decision that makes everything explode and a Senegalese immigrant falls from a height of two stories, dying within hours . The six policemen believe that they are innocent and that their bosses will support them, but on the other side of the city, an Internal Affairs team begins an investigation. Agent Laia Urquijo, the only woman on the team, senses that she is facing an important case and is going to leave her skin on it.

The six riot police continue with their lives unrelated to being investigated. But the Internal Affairs team advances without discovering anything special. Only Laia believes that there is more than bad luck after the death of the immigrant. When the team leader asks that the investigation be closed and everything is about to end, Laia discovers the loose end that leads her to discover that the riot police deleted a video that included the entire incident. Although they deleted it to avoid being lynched on the networks, now that makes them look guilty. Just after helping to break up a violent disturbance in the dead immigrant's neighborhood, the six policemen are called to their superior's office. Everyone will pay the consequences for their actions. All except Alex, the nephew of a big boss in the body.

The six riot police meet for a dinner that ends in a drunken drunkenness that lets out everything that has been kept quiet in these tense months.

They make a deal: he returns the case to her in exchange for her giving him some information from Internal Affairs. The riot police are free, although they will never know that it was thanks to Laia having sold her soul to the devil, and they go on with their lives: Diego has left the police and is now a security guard, his former colleagues are heading towards a new mission.
