Ídolos e Vilões, Intrigas e Escândalos. A PVDE Antes da PIDE

The final episode follows António Roquete, Portugal's first football star, who abandoned the sport to become an agent of the PVDE. Under Agostinho Lourenço, the PVDE dismantled Freemasonry, crushed the National Syndicalist movement of Rolão Preto, suppressed the anarchist movement, and arrested the leadership of the Portuguese Communist Party, including Bento Gonçalves. The victory of Spain's Popular Front in 1936 and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War reignited hopes for resistance. As Portuguese political police focused on events across the border, a small group of opponents planned the most serious assassination attempt against Oliveira Salazar, threatening the future of the dictatorship.
