- Jamila, Jamila! - Yes?
I need a favor.
Go down to the bakery and buy the finest bread you can find.
- Prepare some tea. - In a moment.
Frau Braun will try a dress.
As soon as she arrives, offer her tea.
Make it hot, that way she'll drink it.
- Did you understand? - Yes, I get it.
She must have a long stay in the workshop.
- As you wish. - Thank you. Now go.
Welcome. Please take a seat.
- Would you like some tea? - No, thanks.
I have a lot of work to do.
Is the dress ready for a try?
Yes, sure. But I must insist.
I bought some amazing bread.
Jamila, Jamila, please!
Fine, fine.
It looks really good.
- They're delicious! - Didn't I tell you?
- It's very hot! - Is it too hot?
- Jamila, I told you a thousand times! - I'm sorry.
All right...
Why don't you read a magazine while you wait?
- Okay? - Thank you.
I'll be right back, I'm sorry.
Remember, it's just the first try.
Don't worry if you find it loose.
I can make the necessary adjustments.
It's wonderful!
I thought I was getting fat because of the stress.
It's perfect!
Anyhow, I must make some adjustments.
It's amazing, I thought it would need serious adjustments.
I've eaten so much, I think I'm a different dress size now.
Will it be much longer, darling?
Just a little while.
We can take a rest if you want.
It's not that. I'm impatient. Why are we taking so long?
The dress fits me.
I want it to look perfect for your daughter's wedding.
It's already perfect! I mean it.
I have a lot of work to do.
I must get back home immediately.
- You can drink some tea in the meantime. - No.
Thanks, but I've drank two cups.
I must go now.
I'm out of pins, I'll be right back.
Don't delay too much.
What's going on?
- I have a problem. - What?
Do you remember the dress I was sewing?
- Yes. - The customer is downstairs.
I must keep her here as long as possible.
Keep her for what?
It's a long story.
What are you into?
Trust me, I mean it. The less you know, the better.
- Calm down. - I don't know what to do.
She wants to go. I ran out of excuses with her.
- So you must entertain her here? - Yes.
Let me talk to her.
Frau Braun, this is my mother, Dolores.
She was a dressmaker too, in Madrid.
Nice to meet you.
- May I change clothes now? - Sure, she has finished.
- It's just that... - Did you say something?
Yes... it's not really important.
It's a suggestion, but my daughter told me you're in a hurry.
Please, tell me.
- The neck. - What's wrong with it?
Don't get me wrong, it's perfect.
It's just a little detail. You don't mind, right?
Look, Sira...
- An inch or two. Do you see it? - Yes.
Your collar bone will look even better.
But I'm aware that you were going.
I can stay a bit longer.
Fantastic, I'll do this myself.
I have a very elegant collar bone.
- Many people have told me. - You're right.
- Sira, give me the measuring tape. - Sure.
Can you raise the skirt?
My mom told me I have pretty ankles.
Halt! Halt!
I'm here on Herr Braun's behalf. I must talk to the lady.
I'm sorry, miss, the master says you should return immediately.
What happened?
He didn't tell me everything. I believe someone broke into your house.
- I'll go right now. - I can help you get dressed.
Do you know if they caught the thief?
I don't know, ma'am.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine, calm down.
I have the passport and the promissory notes.
- Really? - Look.
Thank you.
You were about to get caught!
- If something had happened to you... - Don't think it, Sira.
Do you have a needle and a thread?
Sure.
Here you go.
Smile, everything went the right way!
He hit me before I could catch him.
Was he a tall, in shape, blond guy?
Yes.
All right.
Is this the man?
Yes, he is the man.
Thank you.
You've been very helpful.
- So no valuable object was stolen? - No.
Just documents from the security box.
What a mess, I'm supposedly arranging my bags but I can't find the courage...
You don't have to do that.
I know I shouldn't do it personally, but...
Peter fired the whole crew.
You don't have to do your bags. You're going nowhere.
What is that?
Peter's passport and the promissory notes.
How did you get these papers? How?
It's better if you don't know that.
What happened doesn't matter. It's what will happen.
With these papers Peter can't force you.
On the contrary, now he's at your feet.
Thank you! Thank you!
I owe you my life! Thank you!
I can't believe it!
I can't believe it.
I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but since you told me that...
You told me to speak if the police were coming.
What did you see?
The sheriff has parked outside.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Logan's room? - Sheriff!
Mr. Logan, I want to talk to you.
Mr. Logan!
Stop, stop now!
Logan, stop!
I see you've already packed.
I hope you said goodbye to your special friend Beigbeder.
This isn't my luggage, my dear.
It's yours.
The only farewell will be between us.
What are you talking about?
Here you go.
- How did you get this? - Take it, you'll need it.
Everybody know you're in debt with the Germans.
I've good news and bad news.
The good news is that your IOUs disappeared.
The bad... the bad news is...
you now owe me.
- How did you get... - Why does it matter?
If you ever come back, I swear I'll give them back to the Germans.
I told you, remember?
You're like a cat.
I've hired my maid back.
She'll help you to the car with your luggage.
Goodbye.
You know? I've been thinking about helping you at the workshop.
- Really? - I miss threading the needle.
- I'm glad to hear that. - Miss...
- For you... - Wait!
Join me now at the medina.
At the store where I bought you that silk scarf.
No one must know.
Sira, I can go to the market by myself.
- Really? - Of course.
Sira...
I don't want to know why you had to entertain that woman in the shop.
But be careful.
You helped me a lot, Mom.
If you're fine, I'll be okay. Don't forget that.
Let's go now.
- Good afternoon, Miss Quiroga. - Hello, Sheriff.
- May I have a word with you? - No.
Are you in a hurry?
No, I wanted to buy some stuff.
Tell me.
I'm looking for Marcus Logan. He fled from his hotel.
Do you know where is he?
No, I don't know.
I'm sorry.
Are you sure?
I thought you two were friends.
I know him.
But I don't know where he is.
Is something wrong?
Logan must be arrested.
Why?
I can't tell you the details.
Sira, if Logan tries to reach you...
I hope you'll end up calling the police department.
Understood?
Of course.
May I drive you somewhere?
No, no, I'd rather get some air.
See you.
I'm sorry for all this. I couldn't get back.
I know, the police asked me about you.
- They're hunting you. - I must flee Morocco.
- Why didn't you do that already? - I had to say goodbye to you.
We'll see each other again.
I can't promise you anything.
The world is close to a new war. I don't know where I'll be.
I hope that our paths will cross again.
If someday you need a dress...
for one of your girlfriends...
you know where to find me.
Kiss me.
[April 1, 1939]
Are you okay, Daughter?
Yes, I got distracted.
Turn on the radio.
- What happened? - Turn on the radio, you'll hear.
Official war report.
From the Generalisimo's desk.
Corresponding to this day...
April 1st, 1939...
Third victorious year.
Today...
the Red Army has been captured and disarmed.
The national troops have...
captured their remaining military targets.
The war is over.
Burgos, April 1st...
1939.
Year of victory.
Generalisimo: Franco.
Finally, it was already time for this.
- It's over. - To the streets. Let's celebrate this.
Félix, no, I have a lot of work. I mean it.
The war... you're sinning.
Can't you detach yourself from that machine the day the war ends?
Go out, get some air.
I can finish this by myself.
Are you sure?
Everybody is mad.
- Spain! - What will happen now?
I've heard that the shipping will be restored.
The trains will get back to Madrid again.
What's wrong? Aren't you happy?
Yes, of course.
You haven't worn that scarf in a while.
Really?
That means you overcame the thing with the journalist?
There's nothing to overcome.
If you say so.
Let's go, I'll buy you vermouth.
No, no, I'll prepare it at home.
I want to stop by the inn and visit Candelaria.
- We have to toast! - May I drink today?
Just because it's a special day.
You know what I heard? Franco has a Moorish maid!
- Did you hear the radio? - That's why I'm here.
The thing is over.
Thank God brothers will stop killing each other.
After this... it's God's will.
How's everything going in here?
Everybody is celebrating the end of the war.
Some of them are happier than others.
Look who's here!
- Hello. - Hello, everybody.
- Hello, gorgeous. - Hello.
- Why don't you offer Sira some wine? - Sure, right away.
Today is a very important day!
Finally, the Lord heard us.
- Thanks, Juanito. - Long live Spain!
- Long live Franco! - Cheers!
I'm sorry, I wanted to say goodbye.
- Will you go back to the peninsula? - No.
I have to flee Spain. I'll go to Venezuela or somewhere I can live.
Thanks for everything.
- I wish you all luck. - But...
How will you leave now?
Now everything is over.
Believe me, this has just started.
Let him go.
He is an enemy.
- Mom, please... - Shut up!
Our Spain has no room for the reds!
I hope that someday, all this, this war...
will be meaningful.
See you all.
I don't care who runs this ruined country...
Here in this spot you'll always have a home.
Did you hear me?
I'll miss you, Candelaria.
I'll miss you all.
See you! Good luck.
What will happen now in Madrid?
I'd like to know that too.
What will we do now?
Do you want to go back?
I don't know.
And you?
I'm fine here.
Then we should stay, that's better.
- Rosalinda! - Sira.
I'm sorry, darling...
I abandoned you since the war ended. It has been a mess.
Governmental changes are affecting us all.
- Juan Luis, you can figure it out. - I can imagine.
- Mrs. Quiroga, it's a pleasure. - I'll leave you.
I have something important to tell you.
Come.
It hasn't been officially announced...
I guess they won't say it for a couple of weeks, but...
Swear that you can keep the secret.
Sure.
The Generalisimo will name Juan Luis Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Minister?
Isn't that great?
I think it's a magnificent signal.
Someone with Juan Luis' soberness and sensibility.
So he'll be living in Madrid.
What will you do? Will you accompany him?
Of course.
Sira, don't be sad.
I'd love to stay, but...
my place is beside him.
I know.
- I'll miss you so much. - Me too.
Let's not think about that.
I'll be here for a couple of weeks.
I'll celebrate with a final party in Tetouan. Everyone will remember it for years!
Félix, change that face. I beg you.
I know it's a party.
But I feel like I'm at a funeral.
I'm even wearing a black tie!
You're so dramatic!
We'll survive without Rosalinda. You'll see.
Whatever.
Nothing will be the same without her.
I'll miss her.
- You think I won't? - Not like me.
Darling, you're aware that this will change our lives entirely.
I know, darling.
We've been happy here.
Perhaps we still have time to abort the whole thing.
To leave everything as it is now.
Luck has always worked for us.
Do you want to give it a try?
Let's see...
If the black one comes out...
we'll keep on going.
If the white one comes out I'll refuse the charge and stay in Tetouan.
I'd like that. But you know we can't do it.
Your country needs you.
My country needs me too.
Whatever it is, we'll never stop loving each other.
Is that a promise?
I promise.
Let's go, your guests are waiting.
- Aren't you coming? - I'll be there in a moment.
- Hello. - Hello.
Excuse me.
Sir, ma'am...
Mademoiselle...
Thank you all for coming.
After all these official acts...
I wanted to say goodbye to my friends as they deserve.
So let's enjoy Tetouan's magic.
- Hello. - Sira!
Are you okay?
I can't drink, I'll start to feel nostalgic.
Don't let me drink.
I've been so happy here.
Félix keeps mourning.
Did his mother die?
He would like that.
He thinks this should be like a funeral, not a party.
What? He is so sweet.
It's better if I don't see him. We'll both end up crying.
I want to give you something before you leave.
It's nothing...
But, well...
It's for you to remember me.
In case you need to sew a dress and I'm not there...
I'd prefer to have you nearby. You'd keep solving these problems for me.
I love it.
I have something for you too. Come with me.
Will you leave everything here?
It's a pity, I can't carry everything.
Won't you take this rug with you?
It's wonderful.
I know. We will see...
- And this? - Open it.
I remember that.
You told me it would be a one night thing, something ephemeral.
Now I immortalized that for you.
But...
Keep it.
You proved your friendship through that dress.
Now I'm the one who'll cry.
Don't even think about it.
Promise you'll go to Madrid and visit me.
Darling, you won't get rid of me so easily.
I'll write you every week.
[One year later]
Miss, Miss!
Miss!
- It's a letter from Rosalinda. - Thank you.
It's a new letter!
- I'll go for some whisky. - It's noon.
Then I'll go for gin.
I'm telling you, that woman was born with a talent for socialization.
Of course.
Everything's wrong. She's the English lover of a minister.
The minister's government rejects anglophiles and she's there partying.
Do you think she's as good as she tells it?
Look what she wrote about Beigbeder.
They don't like him in the government.
The man who recommended him now hates him.
Franco owes his victory to the German army.
He dislikes everyone tied to the British.
- So they'll fire him? - Don't hesitate.
I'm sure he'll be able to keep the position.
You said they wouldn't fire him!
- What? - They're about to do it.
- What? - Beigbeder.
They say he's a friend of the British ambassador.
- Churchill's appointee. - Mr. Hore.
That one! They've been together in Madrid.
Why did he do that? That's not wise!
He is so brave.
He is provoking them.
Because they don't listen to his proposals about the Germans' war.
Will Spain join the Germans' war?
If no one stops this... I'm afraid that will happen.
- Miss, telegram. - Thanks.
A private party in Tangier. My Madrid friends are waiting.
September 1st, 7:00, Nuevo Dean's bar.
You're late for my party.
Won't you give me a kiss?
Darling!
- How are you? - Fine, fine.
- I wanted to see you so much. - Why the surprise?
I didn't want people to know that I'm here.
You have so much to tell me.
How is Juan Luis? And the boy?
Tell me, how are you?
Are you okay? Yes?
Sira...
I'm here to offer you a job.
- I already have one. - I know that.
I'll propose you to do the same thing. But in Madrid.
In Madrid?
I'm fine here.
The shop is doing well.
My mom is happy to be here.
I'm not talking about your mom. It's about you.
You won't need to close the Tetouan shop.
I'm sure it's something provisional.
You could get back as soon the project is done.
Which project?
War.
Juan Luis did everything in his power to keep Spain apart from it.
But he's facing too much trouble.
That's why we want to help in every possible way...
to minimize Germany's pressure over Spain.
If your country escapes the conflict...
England will have the opportunity to win.
Why is that relevant to me?
We're mounting a clandestine movement in Madrid.
Associates of the British Secret Service.
Collaborators who have nothing to do with politics...
or diplomacy...
People who can observe and collect data.
People able to sneak into the ruling circle.
You're talking about espionage.
Don't panic, darling.
It's a discreet campaign of resistance.
That's why we need people like you.
Did I tell you we're running out of silk?
Aracama's lady wants to try it on Thursday or Friday.
They want me back in Madrid.
They want me to work for the British. To inform on the Germans.
They want me to spy on their women.
They suggested to open a store for me. I'll sew for the Nazis' wives.
What did you say?
I refused.
I'm fine here with you.
They told me to think about it.
It will help if Spain avoids war.
Well...
The British don't want us to stand aside from Europe.
They don't want us to join the Germans.
They think that's the best for all.
Do you want my advice?
Yes.
Go.
Help.
Collaborate.
Spain can't stand another war.
Spain lacks the strength.
Daughter...
You haven't experienced war.
Have you ever been woken up by gunfire?
Have you heard the bombs exploding?
You haven't eaten rotten food.
You haven't seen the face of fear.
The British work for their country, no doubt about that.
But if their cause benefits us...
then let's welcome it.
In your place, I'd accept.
I'd help with everything I could.
I don't want to leave you here, alone.
It will be hard for me to say goodbye to you again.
But you must do this.
You must return to Madrid.
I'll stay here and look after the shop.
As soon as everything ends...
We will see.
It's your call.
