Neste episódio, Francisco Pinto Balsemão conta pormenores dos bastidores da saída da vida política ativa, entre 1983 e 1986. Após deixar o cargo de Primeiro-Ministro por vontade própria, Balsemão enfrentou o isolamento dentro do PSD, a indiferença dos seus pares e a dissolução de alianças políticas. Num relato franco, descreve o Congresso de Montechoro, o afastamento do Parlamento e a breve passagem pelo Parlamento Europeu, marcada por desilusões e disputas internas.

Lembra também a sua tentativa de manter-se relevante através do Instituto Francisco Sá Carneiro, onde liderou iniciativas inovadoras e formativas, e a sua resistência em aceitar cargos que o afastariam do jornalismo e da comunicação social.

O percurso de um homem dividido entre a lealdade ao partido e a frustração com as “máquinas trituradoras” da política, que sacrificam os seus próprios líderes em nome da sobrevivência - afirma Balsemão.

Mesmo afastado da vida política ativa, o fundador do Expresso nunca deixou de observar, influenciar e participar, mantendo viva a chama de um ideal político que foi sempre maior do que qualquer cargo. 

No próximo episódio entramos na IV temporada, depois da política partidária: o Expresso, a SIC e outras coisas, desde 1983.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
