We see Jadue (played brilliantly by Andrés Parra) struggling with the duality of his existence. To the world, he is the charismatic President of the Chilean Football Federation, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Julio Grondona and Juan Ángel Napout. To the FBI, he is "Chispa"—a cog in the machine they are slowly dismantling.
