Tetouan, August 1936
Ramiro.
Breakfast is ready, girl.
They say you start to heal
the day that the first thought of the morning isn't him.
What am I doing here?
Why did I leave everything behind to follow that idiot?
The busier you are, the less you'll keep on thinking of that.
Girl, you have to eat and regain strength. Go outside.
Moaning is useless.
I know about that.
This old woman has a past, too.
I suffered for two years after my husband left, as if I were giving birth.
And you know what? I lost those two years.
If you're going to lose time, lose it laughing.
And a bath wouldn't be bad for you, either, girl.
We might be in Africa, but people take baths here as well.
I was thinking I could help Jamila clean up the kitchen and the rooms.
I have to pay my way here in some way.
Go gain four or six pounds. You couldn't even lift a broom this way.
Go, hurry up. Breakfast is getting cold.
[In Between Times Episode 3]
What do we have for breakfast today, Candelaria?
A great stew, with a little lamb and a little peppermint.
What's that miracle for? What are we celebrating?
Girl! The food is on the table!
- Come on. Everyone wants to meet you. - Whom do we want to meet?
You? No one. It's too much of a woman for you.
Come down, girl!
- She's like a ghost. - Totally.
Sagrario, save the sarcasm for yourself.
Sit and shut up.
Where did this girl come from? Is she a widow? She looks like one.
Come, girl, sit. Sit at the table.
It shocks at first
but then it doesn't even scare breast-fed babies. Sit.
This is... What's your name, girl?
- Sira. - Sira. This is Sira.
And, as you can see, she's a little sad.
So leave her alone. Come on. Eat.
- Hello. - Hello.
This stew turned out great!
I treat you like a mother.
And then you complain. God.
If you knew how much it cost me...
A whole thing.
If this continues like this, we'll end up eating the sardines' fins.
And we have melon for dessert. It is sweeter than candy this year!
Eat, girl, eat. You need it.
They say Badajoz has fallen as well already.
What a shame. How many soldiers may have
sacrificed their lives for the republic's government?
With the joy they could've given to such a body like yours, Sagrario.
Stop it!
What? What is it, Mom?
- Shut up! I'm tired of you. - I've said nothing!
Don't laugh, Juanito. They say laughing isn't understanding.
That's why the army needed to fight.
To stop that much laughing, that much joy, and that much licentiousness
that were leading Spain to ruins!
Republic's problem was not eradicating all these bitchy old women.
We wouldn't be where we are now.
- Who are you calling a bitchy old woman? - You, Sagrario, you.
Sagrario, don't play their game. They have no respect.
- They're just depraved reds. - Are you calling me depraved?
You're the person who has seven keys to door locks!
Watch your words.
Son of the devil!
Calm down, calm down.
The butcher asking us to calm down. It's ironic.
- Soldiers should've executed you! - Stop it with executions.
I won't take a single insult more, depraved.
- Atheist! - Shut up, aunt vinegars!
- You're aunt vinegars! - Don't call my sister aunt vinegars!
- Heard me, Satan's worshiper? - Do you know Satan?
Shut up, idiot! I'm sick of you!
You're always fighting, right? You can't keep away.
Hey, man! How aggressive that was.
Stop it! Stop it!
If someone talks about that damn war in this holy house again
I'll throw you out on the streets and throw your suitcases through the window!
Eat and shut up!
- Stop it, Jamila. I'll do it. - No, Candelaria...
Tell Candelaria that I've gained the six pounds she told me to.
You only gained two pounds, miss.
Are you a spy or what?
I've gained weight, that's the thing. Leave it that way. I'll continue with these potatoes.
Miss?
Miss!
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Go for some towels to clean this up. Hurry up!
Whose room is this, Jamila?
It is Andrés'.
Who's that? The quiet man with glasses?
- Let me help you. - Let's go for a walk after we're done.
I can't believe you've been here for two weeks without putting one foot on the street.
I don't feel strong enough yet.
Come on, if you have strength to help me, you have strength to go out.
You have to get some sun. You have a dead woman's face.
With what delicacy will this house's women delight us today?
You love to stretch our language just to ask me what's for lunch.
Food, of course! And don't dare to leave anything on the plate.
Candelaria, I was about to ask you...
What does Andrés do for a living exactly?
Don't tell me you've forgotten your loved one already.
Don't be silly. Years will pass until I think about men again.
What does he do?
He works at customs.
And in the afternoons, he does what everyone does.
Buying and selling everything you can buy and sell. Why?
Nothing.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Andrés.
I spilled the bucket. My fault.
How many times have I told you not to go in and clean my room?
I do that myself.
No one goes inside. Understood? No one!
- I'm sorry, I didn't know. Accident. - Don't let it happen again.
It was my fault. If you want to fight someone, here I am.
- Miss! - Leave us alone, Jamila. Please.
Don't worry, she saw nothing.
- But I did. - You saw nothing, either!
Don't get in trouble.
I'm in big trouble already.
And what I need is to get out of it.
Maybe you can help me.
You're wrong.
I'm not the way. Trust me.
I need to go back to Spain!
They've taken my passport.
I found some papers in your room...
Shut up and listen to me because I won't repeat it!
Neither I nor anyone I know does what you imply.
- But I found... - And even if I did...
You couldn't pay for it.
Good afternoon.
- Are you going back? - I came out to look for you.
You are outside on the street! What's this miracle for?
Nothing. I just thought it was time to look for a job.
I like that. Wait, I'll take this inside, and we'll go for a walk.
I'm so happy, girl.
Let's start over here. A friend of mine works here. She's a stylist.
Do you know how to cut hair?
Well, you know how to comb hair. What woman doesn't?
To handle customers, you just have to tell them
how pretty and healthy they look.
Even if they look half dead. Come on.
Rosa, this girl is a jewel.
She has combed the hair of very high-class people!
What class of woman has this girl combed! Tell her, tell her.
And she's discreet. And that's a rare thing nowadays.
Come on, give her a try. You'll see you'll be surprised.
No, Candelaria, no. I won't put my customer's head in a stranger's hands.
Is it because of that? Not a problem.
I'll give my head for her. Come on, girl!
Show her how good you are!
Take this.
- Are you sure, Candelaria? - More than sure!
Don't be shy. Cut my hair.
Put those scissors down.
If you did something to her hair, she'd take your eyes off!
Come on, waste someone else's time.
- What woman doesn't know that? - I know, I know.
Everything got strange after this rebellion.
A lot of people got stuck here, and there are plenty of working hands.
But don't worry, girl, we'll find something, tomorrow if not today.
Thank you, but things don't seem to be good.
- You know that as well. - Well, well.
Everything will be fixed.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were here.
I just came for a glass of milk.
I couldn't sleep.
Tonight...
you were the main topic.
They were only talking about the bad luck
you had today with finding a job.
I told you already.
Times aren't good to make money.
Did I tell you or not?
Maybe I don't need money to achieve what I want.
Maybe I just need to visit Sheriff Vázquez and tell him
that someone is trafficking passports at this hostel.
Are you sure you want to go that way?
It would be a real shame
to hurt someone as pretty as you are.
It's a shame you're just a sack of bones.
So, how much?
One more.
Some days, I wake up and I just want to...
Damn it!
This is the third skirt this week!
It's the damned food. I'm getting fat.
Continue making breakfast while I change.
What should I wear now?
I heard the moon's whisper.
For I know nothing about my fortune.
I was faithful and I gave
my heart to him.
Do you know how expensive chicken is? They're all crazy!
Administer it wisely.
Prepare chicken soup for the week. Just don't put too much in it.
Otherwise, I'll start charging more money for every room.
- As soon I'm able to... - I didn't say it because of you.
You're already helping us a lot.
Try this.
Did you fix it? It wasn't needed.
I didn't fit into this old piece.
It will fit you now.
How did you do it? Where did you find cloth?
From the hem.
Do you know how to sew?
I can fix more clothes if you want.
Candelaria must start serving dinner inside the house.
It's getting colder and colder outside.
I can't imagine how the cold is on the front!
Don't worry too much. We can ask her to warm you up a bit.
Why is he always joking about everything?
Chicken soup again? What a misery.
If you don't like it, you could move to the National Hotel.
Where did you find that coat? Aren't we paying you too much?
All what she saves with the chicken soup is for clothes.
- Shut up! - Calm down, I just paid for the cloth.
Labor and talent are due to Sira. Girl.
- I still have a waist. I didn't know! - Did you make it?
Yes, with the hands I commanded to clean.
She is truly amazing.
I look like those magazines.
How much would it cost me for one of those?
Don't pay me anything. Just the cloth.
Then I'll need a coat, two dresses
a blouse, a skirt...
Nothing is for free here.
I'll take care for the cloth. Whoever needs her services
tell me. I'll negotiate the price with you.
- Come on, Candelaria! - Pure shamelessness.
You're in my house for free.
The world is plagued with ungrateful people.
- Who will be the first one for the clothes? - Me!
Could you make this model?
Yes, I can adjust the waist and design a neckline that suits you.
What do you think about this cloth?
I like it, but I would recommend the green one.
- Why not the brown one? - It's a matter of contrast.
Wait until she finishes with me!
All right, but don't monopolize that magazine.
I've the right to look at it, too! Show it to me, please!
- All right, enough, enough. - I want something suited for my eyes...
Dear Lord!
Miss...
Thank you.
You're really outstanding.
Where are the chatty ladies?
Are they volunteering on the front?
No. Hey, you couldn't stand them.
After five minutes, you're already missing them.
Except for Juanito, we're all on the same side.
- It's hard to talk like this. - So which is my side?
- Don't you go to the daily mass? - Yes.
And you're unsure about your side? You're a revolted one!
A revolted one?
- What do we have here? - Sweet Jesus.
What is it? Haven't you seen good looking ladies before?
- For God's sake, Mom! - It's nothing, my son.
Your mom has what a woman must.
- Am I pretty or what? - I find you a bit over the top.
You look good enough to stop this war.
Let's see if that's true. Perhaps we could dine peacefully now.
Let's go, everybody to the table.
- Sagrario, that neckline is sinful. - Don't be so old-fashioned.
This is the newest thing in fashion. But what would a red know about that?
Don't stain your clothes. They aren't paid for yet.
Okay, now eat.
Girl, this is your worth.
It's the first time they're seeing them like women, not adversaries.
But now that you've recovered your glow and figure
why aren't you wearing a decent dress?
What's the difference? I'm not in the mood for new clothes.
I don't need martyrs in my house. They are many in the graveyard.
Choose the cloth you like the most and make yourself a dress.
We're done.
Just in time, girl.
Do you like how I look?
Candelaria, what a fine dress you're wearing!
- Where did you find it? - A friend made it for me.
- Isn't she good. - She is indeed.
I have a new boss. She's looking for a dressmaker.
- Aren't you serving a French lady? - I'm with a German now.
She has a horrible accent.
I was already used to hearing French
and now I hear someone that's always choking.
Whatever, the thing is that she's searching for a seamstress.
She could come to the house...
A couture house is about to open.
- I'll tell you about it as soon I know more. - Thank you.
- See you, pretty girl. - Bye, Candelaria.
Write it down, Rosa.
- Like always. - Are you mad?
Did you expect her to go to the inn?
Those women are closely related with the army.
They are so haughty.
What you need is a true, fancy shop.
There you will offer the best of the best.
Don't you see there are many ladies trapped like rats in here?
How could I create a couture workshop?
I'm deeply indebted!
With me, girl, with me!
You're poor, too! You don't have enough to feed us.
- Well, that's true. - Then, Candelaria
- stop the nonsense. - I know, I know.
But your hands are a treasure, a really extraordinary one.
Will you take advantage of them, or what?
That's a mortal sin.
This dress suits you.
Do you think so?
Candelaria had a point.
You look better than the day you arrived.
You're not so skinny anymore.
You look like a different person.
Then you don't like the dress.
You like the mannequin.
You got me.
But what I would really like...
is to see you without the dress.
Why would I take off my dress for someone who's unwilling to help me get home?
If you...
If you were good to me...
I could get you a passport.
First the passport, then we'll see.
My information and picture.
Don't ask too much about them.
We both know they're fake.
Come to my room tonight.
Come on, boy. Throw it there, do it.
Does someone know where my sister is?
Don't ask for her.
Where is she?
What do you think I found today? Are you in mood for a drink or what?
- There we go. - You're a magician, Candelaria.
- How did you get it. - From a friend of mine.
Palomares, what an honor.
Why are you visiting us?
I knew the kind of woman you are.
But this time you went too far.
Is it so bad to go for a bottle of brandy? Your office is so dull.
I don't care about your filthy bottle.
- But you're hiding a criminal in here. - What?
Andrés Cordero.
His business is to replicating passports and printing fake passes.
This son of a bitch would sell his mom to the Republicans.
Palomares, I swear to God
none of us knew about his business.
But he was staying in this boarding house, right?
Scum attracts scum, right?
I swear on my parents...
Shut up, we'll talk a lot about all of this later.
- Move, move, you bastard. - I'll go for my jacket.
- It's under the third tile. - You won't need jackets in prison.
You'll have enough heat.
Move out, you bastard!
Girl, can I know what you're doing?
Searching for the third tile.
But the third from where?
From the bed?
From the door?
Girl, do you mean
you knew that the man was dishonest?
I couldn't tell you anything.
- He promised me a passport. - Is that what you're after?
A passport?
Where do you plan to go with a fake passport?
- I'm sure he didn't use my real name. - Even if it said the Virgin Mary
was your picture on it?
I must help my mother!
She is all I have.
You're under so much pressure, once you step foot in Spain
you'll be locked down. If you survive.
War isn't a joke.
Things are very bad now.
Here it is.
For God's sake!
I was worried because he owed me 15 days of rent!
- We must give them to the sheriff. - To Claudio? Are you mad?
This is expensive, now more than ever.
- Are you planning to sell them? - You'll see.
Those aren't ours. Andrés will look for them.
He will stay in prison. You must relax.
If he is freed, we can say that the police registered the house. Will he ask more?
I don't know, Candelaria.
How many weapons are we talking about?
Nineteen.
Perfect!
Nineteen hundred pesetas and one condition.
They must be delivered tonight.
All right.
You can go to our pension and take them.
Take them from there?
The army is surrounding Tetouan.
Our friends think that if they come inside the city, they won't survive.
You must deliver the weapons to them.
- Us? - Two women won't look suspicious.
How will we do that?
You must go tonight to the train station located outside the city.
Be there before 6:00 in the morning.
The bartender will tell you what to do.
Who are your friends?
- What will they do with the weapons? - That's not relevant.
It's a pleasure doing business with you.
We did it, girl! Why the long face?
It will all go smoothly.
I have never been more scared.
I'm not good at these kinds of deals.
- How will we deliver the weapons? - Calm down, I'll take care of that.
We've succeeded with the difficult task. Let's go.
Lay down and sleep.
Tomorrow morning
I'll be back with the money. We'll have a different life.
Good night.
Wake up, girl!
Wake up.
Are you already back?
- How was it? - A total disaster, my dear.
An enormous disaster.
- What happened? - Palomares, that bastard
came out from the bar when they were closing.
He stopped me just before entering the place.
- Did he find the pistols? - No, dear, I was lucky.
He saw me from a distance.
He told me...
that perhaps he will visit us tonight and register the house.
I see.
Then you should stay all night, just in case.
That's right, my dear.
The weapons must disappear before Palomares arrives.
I couldn't say it more clearly, darling.
So, go on, brunette.
- We don't have time. - No, no, no.
- I really can't. - Darling, if you don't do it
we'll lose everything.
Forget about the workshop and bringing your mom.
Is that what you want?
Girl.
It's the only way to overcome our situation.
I would like to have a different one.
But there's no alternative.
Is that okay?
Come on, wrap this.
- It's ready. - Just one more, darling.
It's ready. Now I'll paint your eyes.
I'll put a wide dress over you.
Let's go, darling.
It's perfect. You'll look like a moor.
That's it.
Put this on.
Be careful. Don't drop anything.
Once you're out, forget who you are.
If someone passes you, pretend that you're an old lady.
Do you know how to reach the place?
I guess so.
Use Celta Highway.
You'll find the station.
Remember you must speak to the bartender before six.
- Yes. - Deliver the pistols and collect the money.
Then return very quickly.
I'll be here waiting for you with my eyes wide open.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
May the Virgin Mary be with you, darling.
[La Luneta Door]
All right.
[Bar]
I'm a Spaniard. I don't speak Arabic.
Go to the platform. He's waiting for you.
Do you have the package?
Where is it?
Here.
Can you take it yourself?
- I need time. - There's no time.
The police are about to come. They register the trains before departures.
I'll try to help you. Would you mind?
I'm not used to being undressed by strangers.
My name is Roberto.
I am Sira.
They're here.
You search the bar, and you, the trains.
We'll go to the warehouse.
Get dressed quickly. We have to get out of here.
Let's go, move, move!
Let's use the window.
Take the guns, and run next to the rails.
Drop them at the first sign.
Have this.
It's the money we agreed on.
Can I trust that you'll drop the guns where I told you to?
Jump and run!
I heard something. Go search there, quickly!
