SHORT CASE: when a psychologist cant keep paying his daughters private school fees, he asks the group for help. They convince the school owners that the girl, a computer genius, hijacked Bill Gates personal computer (and changed his wallpaper cover), and deserves a school grant to stay there.
MAIN CASE: Marcela, a mid-forties bookkeeper, still cant stand emotionally her divorce. Submerged in a deep depression, she suffers from insomnia, calls his daughter and his ex husband (who has a relationship with a younger girl, and doesnt pay attention to Marcela anymore) overnight, and stays behind at work duties (which earns her the anger of his work mates), even thinking about suicide. Her desperate daughter asks the group for help. The group discovers that Marcela is a huge Beatles fan, so they convince her that the own Paul McCartney is secretly visiting Buenos Aires, preparing a improvised encounter between Marcela and Paul (who is really a stand-in, no the real Paul) in an hotel.

SHORT CASE: during a wedding party, a strange man asks the group for help, asking them to delay a financial audit in the business who a friend of the man runs, because the man secretly borrowed money from the business cashbox.
MAIN CASE: when the group resolves the previous case, the man who hired the group meets a wicked guy named Lembergier, who asks him how to contact the group. Santos meets Lembergier, who tells him the favor he needs: an associate of him, Sontag, previous head of the Health Ministery, is jailed by a corruption scheme where he bought expired food batches for elementary schools, which resulted in deaths of some children. Lembergier asks the group to help Sontag break free from high-security prison and allow Lembergier and him to exit the country. Santos immediately refuses the case, but Lembergier makes his man to stab Santos in the leg, then kidnaps him and makes the group to help them by force.
The group runs a operative, in which they convince the prison manager that Sontag is involved in a high art robbery case (an invaluable art piece was stolen from Florences museum) and needing to sent him to Italy as a protected witness. The operative succeed, and Lembergier and Sontag manages to take a flight to Miami with fake passports. But the group secretly put an associate of them in the same flight, who exchanges their passports for another ones; at customs in Miami airport, Lembergier and Sontag are inmediately detained (the new passports have the pictures of Hitler and Bin Laden).
Finally, the group decides to stop working and take a vacation; Santos proposes to go together to an undisclosed place. During the flight, a man who carries explosives threatens to blow up the plane, but Ravenna intervenes and talks to him, convincing him to change his attitude.
