To be honest, this is one of the most beautiful streets in the city.
I can see that.
Excuse me for my curiosity.
Why did you want to come here?
Well...
because one of my best clients used to live here.
She told me it was one of the most beautiful streets.
I can see she wasn't wrong.
Good morning, Beatriz.
I came to see Mr. Da Silva.
Mr. Da Silva has been out of the office all day long.
Working.
Oh, I didn't know.
Bad luck.
Do you mind if I sit for a minute?
I've been visiting suppliers all morning, and I can't go on anymore.
I need some rest. Cigarette?
- No, thanks. - Okay.
There are so many stores.
You don't know how lucky you are.
Everything's so boring in Spain.
Well, considering who we have in charge...
Someone who wants women to stay home cleaning and giving birth.
And who has filled all the prisons
and shows no mercy to the ones he's defeated.
But well, what do you know?
You belong to another world.
You're wrong, Beatriz.
I know many people.
Now I'm in touch with the powerful ones.
But I know how it is to be cold in the winter.
To eat up every crumb.
And to work standing up before the sun comes out.
Would you accept a cigarette?
How is it going in Portugal?
Bad.
Maybe Salazar's new state isn't as oppressive as ours in Spain.
But the lack of freedom is tangible.
My parents were republicans.
We were going to escape from Spain, but they didn't make it.
I'm so sorry.
Sometimes I think it's better this way.
Portugal is not what they expected.
I see.
Well.
At least it seems they will stay away from the war.
In politics, I mean, not in business.
They say there are some Portuguese businessman who are taking advantage of it.
Expanding their businesses through dark contracts with the Nazis, right?
Who are you?
I'm just a dressmaker.
A working woman, just as you are...
who doesn't like what's happening around us.
What does Da Silva have with Germans, Beatriz?
The other day when I was in his office you announced Herr Weiss' visit.
Tell me.
I know nothing.
Really.
Well.
I understand.
It's normal.
Manuel Da Silva is your boss, and you want to protect him.
And you don't need to be a seer to know there's something more between you.
We used to have something, but it's already over.
- It was a mistake from my side. - You don't have to justify yourself.
Your personal life isn't my business.
But help me please.
Tell me everything you know about Da Silva and the Germans.
Beatriz, remind me not to go to São Julião coffee shop ever again!
- Oh, excuse me, Miss Agoriuq. - Don't worry, I was leaving already.
Miss.
Your cigarettes.
Everything we say will stay between the two of us.
Think about it.
Good day.
Mr. Da Silva, how was the meeting?
Marvelous, Miss Eliza. Thanks.
Miss Oliveira, any calls for me?
One from Herr Weiss. And Marcus Logan called again, too.
The English journalist.
Very good. Call Herr Weiss and transfer the call to my office.
And Mr. Logan? He left two messages for you.
Being honest? Throw them into the trash can.
And bring me a coffee, Miss Oliveira.
Miss Oliveira.
Maybe I'm asking too much.
A smile.
I'll help you.
More, more.
That is it. Pretty girl.
[Time in Between Episode 14]
[12 in the morning. Tenth Line, left part.]
[Church of Sao Domingos]
Reception? Yes.
Please tell my driver I'm going to rest tomorrow.
Yes, I won't need him until later on.
That's it.
Very good, thanks.
Excuse me, could you take me to São Domingos Church?
Miss Agoriuq!
What are you doing?
Me?
I thought they told you at the reception I didn't need you.
Yes, they did. But you know I'm at your disposal all day.
I'll take care of her. Sorry for the inconvenience.
What do you want to do at Sao Domingos Church?
Well, I was thinking of having the morning off.
But...
I just remembered it's the anniversary of my father's death.
And, well...
I wanted to light a candle in his honor.
May his soul rest in peace.
- Thanks. - I'm so sorry, miss.
Well, let's go to the car.
I'll take you to the church right away.
I came with João.
He's Da Silva's eyes and ears.
João is a good man.
But he's loyal to his boss.
I know he's only fulfilling his duty.
That's why I'm not mad at him.
But he never leaves me alone.
Thank you so much for doing this.
No one in Portugal will know we had this conversation.
You work for the English, right?
I only know Da Silva has deals with the Germans.
But only Herr Weiss comes to the office.
There must be others, but I don't know them.
He has also had meetings with
a businessman from the region of Beira lately.
That's inside the country.
There will be a dinner in three days at Da Silva's house.
German and Portuguese businessmen from the region of Beira will go.
I know they have to close a very important deal.
What kind of deal?
A contract of sale.
But I don't know what type of merchandise it's about.
What I know is that there's a lot of money at stake.
They will all attend with their wives.
And Da Silva has special interest in treating them well.
I know that because he ordered me to get flowers
and chocolates to receive them.
It's very valuable information.
Thank you so much.
And now, please, go.
And be very careful.
Oh Holy Virgin Mary, mother of all poor sinners...
Aris.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
My father wasn't Christian.
But I find peace in going to church on the anniversary of his death.
Of course.
- Do you feel like having a drink or... - Of course, sure. Much better.
It helps me to calm down. Yes.
And I've been so busy all afternoon.
Have you visited more suppliers?
Yes, I've bought so many things!
And I don't know how many trimmings. Thanks.
Your clients will be delighted.
I hope so.
Germans, most of all.
Germans are the most demanding.
But I have a special gift to keep them happy.
I have a meeting with Elsa Brookman when I'm back. Do you know who she is?
Well, an intimate friend of Hitler's.
And Lazar's wife, the minister of press and propaganda.
She's one of my best friends.
- I also have very good German friends. - I imagine so.
I'm going to have a dinner with them at my house.
A little meeting of friends, Portuguese and Germans.
Would you like to go, Aris?
I'd love to.
Good morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Da Silva.
Good morning, come in. He's waiting for you in his office.
Beatriz, Beatriz!
- Beatriz! - Tell me.
Do you mind if I take my break now?
Sure, go down.
- I'll take care of everything. - Thanks.
I've told you already. I've broken business with all my English clients.
And my superiors appreciate that, but...
we both know it's not enough just not answering their calls.
Excuse me, I've brought coffee.
- Do you want one, Herr Weiss? - No, I want nothing. Thanks.
I'll leave it here if you change your minds.
We simply can't take the risk.
The operation is very important.
- What do you want me to do, then? - You know already.
Any British around you signify an enormous risk.
Oliveira! What are you waiting for?
- Excuse me. - Get out!
I brought you a microfilm
with all the information we talked about.
Names, maps, quantities.
Everything's there.
And here, the serial number.
Memorize it.
And about our English friends.
I have men of my confidence used to these kinds of things.
Ex-convicts.
They'll take care of... neutralizing them.
So there's nothing more to say.
Here you have a list of the names.
Oliveira.
I'm sorry if I was a little rude with you.
Don't worry.
It's just that I'm about to close an important deal.
And I'm a little nervous, that's all.
I appreciate the gesture, really.
I was only trying to show more charm
to smile more, as you said.
Pretty girl.
Excuse me, miss. I'll be ready in a minute.
My wife scolds me if I don't polish the car every day.
She says her work is to keep the house clean
and mine is to keep up the car.
You haven't told me your wife's name.
- Fátima, miss. - Do you have children?
Five children and a granddaughter.
I'm sure you adore that girl.
- Do you want to see a picture? - Sure.
Oh, how pretty.
Her name is Fátima, like her grandmother.
And, if you don't mind.
Can I show you something else?
Sure.
The Virgin Fátima, for the girl.
She'll have her first Communion this week.
Congratulations.
I'd have liked it to be gold, but...
with the new dress
the lunch afterward...
my salary isn't enough for that much.
I'm sure she'll love it, João.
You have a marvelous family.
Thank you very much for your interest.
Oh, Miss Agoriuq.
I'll call Mr. Da Silva right now.
Aris, I was waiting for you.
- Come in. - Can I get a glass of water first?
Beatriz will give it to you. Come to my office.
I hope everything is in order.
No.
It's perfect.
- I have news you may find interesting. - Tell me.
One of my ships from Macau arrived this morning.
With new cloths.
We haven't had the time to catalog them.
I thought you may want to go to the warehouse and take a look.
I'd love to.
If you see anything else of interest, you can ask for it right there.
An employee will go with you tomorrow afternoon.
Will I be the first to see the new cloths?
The first.
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
I'm going to the restroom, excuse me. One moment.
We can't talk here.
Tomorrow afternoon at the church.
Impossible.
I have to go to the cloth warehouse tomorrow.
Okay. I'll see you there.
Do you have the keys?
Please tell me what this is about.
Herr Weiss came to the office this morning.
He gave a microfilm to Da Silva.
With data about the deal they're going to close, whatever that is.
Beatriz.
We have to get that microfilm.
There's more.
He gave him a list, too.
A list of what?
I'll be ready in a minute.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, Mr. Da Silva
I need you to sign these contracts.
I was about to leave. Can't we wait for tomorrow?
I'm afraid it can't.
- Where do I have to sign? - Here.
And here.
And also here.
Did Eliza leave already?
Yes, we are the last ones.
There's no one else here.
Miss Oliveira, you know this can't be.
I'm so distracted.
I'll organize everything quickly.
- I'll help you. - No, no, no.
Really.
Don't worry.
See you tomorrow.
Here it is. I forgot my case.
- Are you better? - Yes.
Really.
Oliveira.
About us...
About us.
We've said we can't keep seeing each other.
I mean, I know everything is still so fresh, but...
we must make an effort to get over it and continue with our lives.
Don't you think?
You're right, but I don't know what happened to me.
Come on, girl.
Understand me.
You're a marvelous woman.
But I'm your boss, Miss Oliveira.
I'm your boss and it simply can't be.
- Do you understand? - Perfectly.
Let's pretend this never happened.
- Let's forget about this, okay? - Yes.
There you go.
- Are you calmer? - Yes.
Excuse me, but...
could I take tomorrow afternoon off?
I have to go to the doctor.
Of course, Miss Oliveira.
No problem.
- Should we go? - Yes.
- I'll wait for you in the car, miss. - Perfect.
Welcome, Miss Agoriuq. I'm Simón Péroz.
I'm in charge of the warehouse. I'm at your command.
- Nice to meet you. - Come with me. Mr. Da Silva
ordered me to show you the new merchandise.
- Is something wrong? - Nothing.
It's just that I always give two turns to the key to close it.
- I may have gotten distracted. It happens. - Sure.
Here you are. Silks.
They just arrived from China.
You're so kind.
If you want to, you can leave. I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready.
- Excuse me. I'll wait for you out there. - Thanks.
We don't have much time.
I tried to get the microfilm last night.
But I couldn't.
Da Silva took it inside his case.
- He must've taken it to his house. - Don't worry.
I got him to invite me to dinner with the Germans.
I'll try to steal it.
Look for the microfilm in his office.
Second floor, first door to the right.
- Will you remember? - Yes.
You also talked about a list yesterday.
Da Silva warned us some time ago not to
transfer calls to him and to not receive
Englishmen with whom he had good relations.
Herr Weiss ordered Da Silva
to neutralize those English people.
What does 'neutralize' mean?
To get out of the way, Agoriuq.
Thanks.
- Do you know the names? - I have them written here.
Thanks.
- What is he doing here? - I don't know.
I had time between two appointments, and I came to see Miss Agoriuq.
She's looking at Macau's cloths.
Thanks.
Aris.
You scared me! What are you doing here?
- I came to see you. - Come. I want to show you some cloths.
Look at this silk.
Isn't it the most marvelous you've seen in your life?
No doubt, marvelous.
Touch it, touch it please.
And these two. I love this Kashmir one.
These two colors. And I really liked this gauze with flowers.
I love this for lingerie. And there was one, this one, with colors.
- And this purple one. I like this a lot. - So do I.
Who is there?
Miss Oliveira.
What are you doing here?
Answer me!
I've been following you, Manuel.
I can't stop thinking about you.
I've been following you for days.
Since she came to Portugal.
I've had very strong feelings toward you for years.
And jealousy is killing me
knowing you spend so much time with another woman.
Miss Agoriuq is only a client.
You've only had eyes for her since she came.
Oliveira, you're being ridiculous.
I'm just telling the truth.
Stop it! You're making Miss Agoriuq uncomfortable.
I can't tolerate this. Mr. Péroz, please.
Take Oliveira to the office.
I want you to pick up your things and get out today!
You're fired!
Go!
I'm sorry, Aris.
- Once again, please, excuse me. - No, there's no need.
Don't insist.
It has been a very uncomfortable moment, I'm sorry.
Poor Beatriz.
Well, I think you've been too hard on her.
The only mistake she made was to fall in love with you.
She embarrassed me in front of a client.
I can't allow that.
When our heart is broken, we do many silly things.
Do you think she'll find a job easily?
If it makes you feel better
I'll write a letter of recommendation.
With my references, it will be easy for her to find another job.
Are you happy?
Thanks.
- You're too good, Aris. - Come on.
But well, I have to admit Beatriz was right about one thing.
About what?
That I only have eyes for you.
We can go have a drink if you want to.
I'm very tired.
I understand.
- See you tomorrow. - See you tomorrow.
Thanks.
We know you have a friend in Portugal, but we don't think it's prudent for you to meet.
Miss Fox will be instructed to act like she doesn't know you in case you run into each other.
Miss Agoriuq! Good evening!
Do you want me to take you somewhere?
No, don't worry. I just want to take a walk.
I'll walk with you, then.
It's not prudent to walk alone so late.
I'll be careful.
No, you had better come to the car.
If something happened to you, Mr. Da Silva would never forgive me.
- I just want to have some dinner. - It's too late, miss.
You won't find any restaurants open.
You're right.
Don't forget.
I have to take you to Beira very early tomorrow.
- Yes. - Good night.
Same to you.
