## Samuel's Death

### Performers

Benjamin Blanco Commerford (killer) Samuel García Domínguez (victim)

### Location

Blanco House

Samuel's death in Season 5 really hits hard for his closest friends. Mostly it impacts Rebeka and Omar since they were his best friends and Santiago got severe depression when he found out from Ari.

## Cause of his death

#### What Happened that night

Benjamin invites Samuel to his house to have a "little chat". Since Samuel still had the SIM Card that he was waiting to give to the police to use against Benjamin. In an effort to get the SIM card from him, Benjamín attempted to bribe Samuel with a fully-paid-for pre-acceptance to Oxford plus a job in his company after college. But Samu told him he couldn’t be bought and that nothing Benjamín could offer him would be enough for the card. Benjamín then told Samu he must’ve expected something in return after sticking by his side through everything, but Samuel revealed it was only because he saw him as a father figure, not because he was after money.

#### What was In the SIM Card

The SIM card was hidden in Mencia's phone by Armando to keep it safe from Benjamin. She assumed that her father was involved in the murder of Armando. She found data on the card that could link her father to Armando's murder. She was confused about whether or not to protect her father or submit the proof to the police.

#### Why did Samuel Reject Benjamin's offer

Samuel rejects the offer, putting the sim card in his backpack before he leaves. Samuel makes a dig that Benjamín won’t take the sim card by force because that would mean getting his hands dirty.

#### Samuel's Fate/Benjamin's Mistake

While trying to leave, Benjamín went after Samuel and tried to take his backpack away. Samu slipped and fell, hitting his head on the edge of the pool. Knocked out, his body ended up in the pool and Benjamín stared in horror until Patrick showed up. He asked his son to help get Samu out of the pool, but when Patrick tried to call an ambulance, Benjamín took the phone out of his hand.

Benjamín tried to find a way to hide the body while Patrick stayed with Samu and called Ari to come home. Rebe, who was with Ari and Mencía, called Omar to let him know what happened. They all ended up at Benjamín’s house, where they confronted him.

When they arrived, Samu briefly got up and told the group Benjamín hurt him. Then he collapsed while Mencía revealed that she called the police. As they waited for the police to arrive, Omar and Rebe stayed with Samu while also showing their anger and betrayal at the three siblings over what happened.

Samu died in Rebe’s and Omar’s arms before the police arrived.

#### Benjamin's Fate/Mencia, Ari, and Patrick's Fate

Once the police arrived, everything slowly became a blur. Benjamín was seen getting arrested, and the three siblings comforted each other while Iván came to get Patrick back. Omar and Rebe walked away in the rain, trying to come to terms with the loss of their best friend.

#### The Aftermath

After Samuel's death, everyone closest to him is absolutely devastated and pays a visit to their late friend.
