Why Fernando Victoria manipulated Victor into committing the murders in 1992

He did it to save himself from bankruptcy

In 1992At the end of the episode, Richi suspects that someone was involved in the Flamethrower murders and that Victor could not have carried them out alone. He remembers seeing a letter from the film Rivas Guridi Attorneys in Fernando Victoria's mailbox, which suggested he was broke. This helps him and Amparo realize that Richi may have used Victor to commit the murders and at the same time gain monetary benefits from them. A flashback confirms that Richi met Victor around the same time he was going broke. Seeing this as an opportunity to make money, he devised a sinister scheme.

After removing himself from a photo that showed all the members (Esteban Palacios, José Zamorano, Roberto Valcarcel, Domingo Granjero and Fernando Victoria) of the Expo 1992 committee, Fernando showed it to Victor. He told him that the committee members were responsible for his mother's death and the cover-up and convinced him to kill them to avenge her murder. While Victor set out to seek revenge by punishing the men who wronged his mother, Fernando secretly pulled all the strings behind the scenes sending threats to committee members and demanding ransoms from them.

Flamethrower Killer's True Identity and Motives Explained

Victor becomes the flamethrower assassin to avenge his mother's death

Victor's story reveals that his mother, Margarita, was one of three sex workers invited to a party by the five Expo committee members. However, one of the commission members, Esteban, who later became a minister, accidentally killed her. Realizing that the entire committee would get a bad name for the murder, they hired Expo's head of security to help them cover up the crime.

Since Victoria and the other committee members needed money to pay the head of security to cover up their crime, they devised a scheme to receive a paycheck from the government. They started by making up a story, claiming that an anonymous blackmailer was threatening to ruin the Expo if he was not paid millions of dollars. When the government refused to pay, they sabotaged a ship at the Expo, asking the head of security to secretly plant explosives on it. To further convince the government that the blackmailer would not stop, they also asked the head of security to set the Expo pavilion on fire.

Before setting it on fire, the head of security placed Margarita's body inside it to erase all evidence of her murder. However, moments after the guard set the building on fire, Victor appeared and tried to take his mother's body out of there. Unfortunately, he was badly burned during the process and almost died. Decades later, after Fernando visited him and encouraged him to take revenge, Victor became Flamethrower's killer, serving his mother's killers the same fiery punishment he had to endure when he was younger.

Why Victoria warned the minister before Victor killed him

He warns you because he paid the ransom

In the show's final arc, minister Esteban Palacios remains the killer's last victim. As the assassin successfully kills every other member of the Expo committee, Palacios fears he will suffer a similar fate. Therefore, he borrows $3 million from his wife and pays the ransom money, hoping that the killer will spare him once it is paid. Little does he know that the money will go to Fernando, which won't stop the real killer from carrying out his mission.

Although Fernando realizes that Victor will still kill Palacios because he wants to avenge his mother's death, he shows some pity for Palacios because, unlike the others, he pays the ransom. Therefore, Fernando calls Palacios and warns him moments before Victor appears at his house to kill him. To Palacios' dismay, the warning comes a little too late. Before he can flee the scene and save himself from the murderous Flamethrower, Victor breaks into his mansion and burns him to death.
