Paul McGann: 本集讲述了弗朗哥早年在摩洛哥的军事生涯,以及他在西班牙本土的经历。在摩洛哥,弗朗哥因其在战场上的英勇表现而迅速晋升,并赢得了声望。然而,回到西班牙后,他却难以适应新的环境,并受到同僚的嘲笑。与此同时,西班牙国内局势动荡,经济问题和分离主义运动日益严重。弗朗哥在西班牙北部感到不满,渴望回到非洲。在一次集市上,他遇到了卡门·波洛并展开了追求。此后,弗朗哥在强制射击课程中结识了何塞·阿斯特雷,后者建议弗朗哥加入新成立的西班牙外国军团。弗朗哥接受了邀请,回到摩洛哥担任副指挥官。在摩洛哥,弗朗哥通过严酷的纪律训练士兵,并对当地居民采取残酷的暴行。尽管如此,弗朗哥善于进行公关,塑造了其英雄形象。弗朗哥与卡门·波洛结婚,并迅速晋升为外国军团指挥官,最终成为西班牙的民族英雄。在普里莫·德·里维拉政权时期,弗朗哥担任军事学院院长,培养了一批支持他的右翼军官。普里莫·德·里维拉政权垮台后,西班牙第二共和国成立,弗朗哥对共和国的改革措施表示反对,并开始策划政变。 Peter Anderson: 阿斯特雷是西班牙外国军团的创始人,他深受日本武士道精神的影响,希望建立一支精锐的西班牙军队,以恢复西班牙昔日的荣光。 Dr. Cazorla Sanchez: 弗朗哥从摩洛哥归来后,过着舒适的生活,并与当时的政治大佬们交往密切。
