Jon makes a blunder that causes Mentor to close the case and remove Antonia from her position as the Spanish Red Queen.

Used in colloquial Madrid speech to refer to illegal drugs, particularly pills or pharmaceuticals obtained illegally. Highly informal and loaded with criminal connotation.
Derived from card games. Means to pretend you have more power, information, or resources than you actually do in order to get what you want. Non-compositional: 'farol' literally means lantern or headlight.
Exclamation of surprise or disbelief. Literally uses the verb 'joder' (to fuck), but functions here as a fixed exclamation equivalent to 'you're joking' or 'seriously?'. Very common in casual speech between friends.
Literally 'the sewers of the state'. A fixed journalistic and political expression referring to covert, off-the-books, or semi-legal state operations and the agents who carry them out. Non-compositional: the sewage metaphor conveys corruption and secrecy, not plumbing.
Literally 'to go around in circles'. Used here in the reflexive 'no le des vueltas' to mean 'stop overthinking it / don't dwell on it'. The non-compositional sense of obsessive mental rumination is not obvious from the literal meaning.
Fixed phrase meaning to wear your best or most formal clothes. The literal components ('punto en blanco', white point) give no clue to this meaning.
Literally the bird 'sparrow'. Used here as a contemptuous or patronising nickname aimed at someone considered small, insignificant, or easy to intimidate. The belittling connotation is non-compositional.
Literally 'soul of a jug'. A traditional fixed expression used to call someone naive, slow-witted, or oblivious, but without real malice. The tone is often warm or gently exasperated rather than truly insulting.
