Building superintendent Eliseo overhears homeowner's association president Zambrano and architect Florencia talking about him. But when he's unable to decipher the details, Eliseo takes his eavesdropping one step further, first accessing Florencia's computer and then planting a listening device. Eliseo eventually finds out about a plan to oust him from his home and job in favor of a new pool.

Eliseo takes advantage of a family's vacation to rent out their apartment to a Swiss tourist. But when the owners return unexpectedly, Eliseo is forced to get rid of the tourist and the male prostitute that she's hired for the night. Also, Eliseo meets with Zambrano and administrator Messina, who inform him that the pool project, and his future employment, will be put to a vote.
