The fourth episode of "Gangs of Galicia" kicks off with a poignant flashback to Padin's arrest, a moment that etched itself into the young Daniel's mind. Though but a child at the time, Daniel was entrusted by his father with the solemn task of concealing precious watches and sensitive documents. His mother, despite her illness, remained steadfast by her husband's side, her resolve unwavering as she suspected one of Padin's loyalists of betrayal and demanded answers.
Amidst this turmoil, Daniel's bond with Nilo blossomed, their friendship serving as a beacon of normalcy in his tumultuous new world. The family stood united in their support for Padin, with Silva stepping into the breach, adopting a fatherly role towards Daniel and earning his unwitting trust. Daniel, innocent and trusting, confided in Silva about the hiding places of his father's valuables.
Unbeknownst to the unsuspecting family, Silva was the very snake in their midst, covertly assisting the police in constructing a watertight case against Padin for months leading up to the trial. Daniel's realization dawned too late, on the eve of the hearing, when he and Nilo embarked on a perilous mission to uncover the police's informant, mere moments before Silva secretly testified.
Elsewhere, Naranjo visits Samuel in the hospital, hoping to pry from him the identities of those who attempted to seal his fate. Samuel, his legs scorched and his survival a miracle, lay there with his wife, both resolute in their silence. They summarily dismissed Naranjo's entreaties and showed him the door.
Meanwhile, at the port, Daniel and Ana converge to discuss the boat deal. Ana has meticulously prepared everything, setting Daniel's plans in motion. However, her heart sinks as Daniel remains tight-lipped, revealing only what is strictly necessary.
She revisits the notion of Padin maintaining his grip on the business empire despite his incarceration, but Daniel retorts with a playful threat, hinting he might have to silence her if she persists in seeking the truth. During their journey back to the town, Daniel opens his heart, revealing the profound impact Silva's betrayal has etched upon him.
Elsewhere, Maria and Marco convene in secret, realizing they've had their fill of the dangerous game they've been playing. Desiring escape but lacking the funds, Marco hints at a possible solution: his grandfather's hidden stash of money, which could serve as their ticket out. They swear to keep their discovery a secret and bolt as soon as they uncover the treasure.
Unbeknownst to them, Muniz snapshots their clandestine meeting and forwards the evidence to Nilo, who is fury-filled upon discovering the young couple's clandestine escapades. He confronts Tono for failing to contain the situation, prompting Tono to dare him to confront Marco himself.
The following morning, Padin receives a female visitor before being escorted back to his prison cell. With a guard in his pocket, prison life is a cakewalk for him. He remains in constant contact with Daniel, apprised of the boat deal's finalization. Naranjo, too, has his eyes on Daniel and his maritime transactions.
Realizing Ana's pivotal role in safeguarding Daniel's operations, Naranjo shifts his focus to her. He begins by coercion her secretary into collaborating with his investigation, employing subtle threats.
Meanwhile, Maria bids a cautious farewell to her grandmother, careful not to betray any hint of her impending flight. She reconvenes with Marco and they venture to one of her grandfather's properties, where Marco believes the money is hidden, recalling his grandfather's peculiar demeanor on that particular land.
Across town, Tono and Nilo confront Marco's parents and Ana, the latter serving as their legal counsel. A heated physical altercation breaks out between Marco's father and Tono, sparking over the distribution of assets and the whereabouts of the hidden funds.
Amidst this tumult, Ana receives a call from her mother, informing her of her arrival in Cambados. Ana hastily meets her and urges her to depart, fearing her mother's presence will undermine her mission to infiltrate Padin's circle and expose their hand in her father's murder. However, Ana's mother is deeply concerned for her daughter's safety.
At the port, an officer from Naranjo's team slips onto one of Daniel's new boats and surreptitiously installs tracking devices, narrowly escaping detection.
Returning to Marco and Maria, their jubilance at discovering the hidden money is swiftly dashed as they turn to find Nilo standing before them.
