Caronte - Season 1 (2020)

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.

Natalia return to Gijon with the hope that Caronte will soon join her, but the lawyer's impressive performance in court has rewarded him with a new case. Aurelio goes to the precinct's warehouse and discovers the pistol which killed Jorge.

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 manages to release Caronte after convincing judge Araúz that he was simply acting in his sister's defense, although the lawyer now faces a suspension.

Julia goes to Caronte to ask him to defend Miguel, a teacher and colleague accused of murdering one of his pupils, Alicia, who he had a romantic relationship with. Caronte decides to accept the case even though Guillermo was Alicia's friend and the young man is convinced Miguel is guilty, so he confronts Julia about it. Caronte finds evidence against Commissioner 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.

Following the controversial Adeyemi case, Marta and Caronte defend some of the former's acquaintances, Adela and Rosa, a mother and daughter accused of hiding a body in the wall of their nursery. The investigation will reveal dark secrets.

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.

With Caronte fully focused on unmasking Paniagua, Marta is alone working on a case very close to home. Her ex-boyfriend Mario could end up in jail for assaulting a co-worker under the influence of drugs. At the same time, Guillermo organises a big party at Caronte's house where a mysterious man takes Caronte's gun.

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.
