In the fourth episode of Netflix's "1992," titled "Staring Into The Abyss," the investigation into the mysterious murders connected to the 1992 Seville Expo takes a dramatic turn as Richi, Amparo, and Robledo face new challenges and revelations. The episode begins with a tense scene as they rush to Fernando's office following an explosion. Inside, they find an unconscious Rosa and an injured Fernando, who is quickly taken to the hospital.
Fernando's surgery is successful, and the trio visits him to gather more information. They suspect Jose's involvement in the killings, and Fernando reveals that Jose left for Miami after the Expo. Richi suggests that Fernando pretend to be dead to trick the killer into thinking he has completed his mission.
The investigation leads Richi and Amparo to Miami, where they initially believe they are following a lead based on an IP address. However, they soon discover that the IP address is fake, and there is no record of a Jose matching their description in Miami. As a storm forces them to stay indoors, Amparo and Richi share a room, leading to a moment of intimacy that is quickly interrupted by Amparo's illness.
Meanwhile, back in Spain, Robledo works with Carmen, the lead investigation officer, to piece together the evidence. Amparo reveals to Richi her final argument with Alvaro before his death, expressing her suspicion that he was cheating on her. Richi clarifies that Alvaro was attending AA meetings, a fact Amparo was unaware of, highlighting the complexity of their relationship.
In Miami, Amparo's persistence pays off as she realizes that Jose might be using his wife's name. They meet Jose's wife and learn that he died five years ago from cancer, adding another layer of confusion to their investigation. This revelation forces them to reevaluate their assumptions and consider other potential leads.
Back in Spain, Rosa awakens and provides conflicting information to Robledo, claiming to have placed the bomb herself. Tragically, she later asks the killer to end her life, and Robledo arrives too late to save her. In a dramatic chase, Robledo confronts the killer at Le Cartuja, a historic site in Seville. The killer pushes Robledo off a tower, leaving him severely injured.
As the episode concludes, Richi and Amparo receive news of Robledo's attack and are left to grapple with the implications of their investigation. The episode effectively builds on the suspense and intrigue of the series, revealing the intricate connections between the characters and the dark secrets of the Expo.
