Yes, compartment three.

Good morning, Miss Agoriuq?

-Yes, yes. -My name's Joâo

and I am Mr. Da Silva's chauffeur.

A pleasure to meet you.

This way.

My boss wants me to let you know

that I am completely at your service during your entire stay here.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Da Silva apologizes

for not being able to pick you up personally

and he has requested that I take you to your hotel.

Perfect.

Is this your first time in Portugal, Miss?

Yes.

You're in luck. The weather is magnificent today.

We will be in Estoril in about 30 to 45 minutes.

The highways offer very nice views, you will see.

Tell me, Joâo, how many years have you worked for Manuel Da Silva?

Forty-seven years, miss.

I worked for his father,

and also his grandfather.

The Da Silva fortune started with a port tavern.

And Mr. Manuel continues the family tradition.

He imports everything.

Cape Verde cotton, Mozambican wood,

Chinese silks.

Any merchandise there's a demand for.

I'm sorry, miss, but you must be very tired from your trip

and you may not feel like chatting.

I talk too much, my wife always tells me.

No, no, don't worry.

You go on. I slept well in the train. Please, do go on. Go on.

Thank you very much, miss.

Mr. Da Silva is confident you will be very comfortable here, miss.

Hotel Do Parque has the most international clientele in Estoril, you know?

-Really? -Mostly Germans.

British people usually stay at the Hotel Palacio.

But at night, everyone is out at the casino.

Germans and British under the same roof?

It seems that Portugal will be a neutral country.

I think that the act of gambling knows nothing of wars.

Could be.

My wife says Estoril

is full of painted hags.

One day they were rich and the next day they weren't

but they cling to yesterday tooth and nail.

The prefer to live off bread and sardines

than to sell off their jewelry and shiny things.

-Good day. -Good day, miss.

Arish Agoriuq.

Well then, I'll be waiting in the car

and when you get settled,

I will take you to Lisbon to Mr. Da Silva's offices.

-How does that sound? -Perfect.

I'm ready.

-Good day. -Good day.

Good day, how can I help you?

Mr. Da Silva is expecting me.

My name is Arish Agoriuq.

A pleasure.

I'm his secretary, Beatriz Oliveira.

You don't mind waiting there for a moment, I will let him know.

Thanks.

Arish!

Welcome! What a pleasure to finally have you here.

-Step into my office, please. -Certainly.

Everything I want to show you was delivered to me this morning.

Here it is.

Do these meet your expectations?

No.

They completely exceeded them. They're marvelous!

I'm happy to hear it.

Shall we sit?

There's a folder for you with qualities and prices.

Take it to the hotel with you.

Take your time. When you're ready, we can arrange for a firm order.

Do not forget that you are a privileged client.

-If there's anything you need-- -Manuel, please.

You've done enough.

Anything, Arish.

And in this folder, you have a list of local distributors

of materials you might be interested in.

I took it upon myself to arrange meetings

with them over the course of the next few days.

Here's the schedule. As you can see, it's divided into quadrants.

And what's this blank quadrant?

You will only let me loose tomorrow afternoon?

It's blank, because I have a plan to fill it in later.

Would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow?

Can't you see I'm busy, Oliveira?

Excuse me, Herr Weiss is here. He says it's urgent.

Pardon me, but sometimes the work piles up.

Is it okay if I pick you up from your hotel at 8:00?

I haven't said yes to you yet.

You've just arrived and you already have other plans?

-No, 8:00 is perfect. -I'll walk you out.

Herr Weiss.

Beatriz.

Before I go, I want to thank you.

Thank me?

I have a feeling it was you who prepared these information folders

and organized my schedule.

Am I right?

Yes, it was me.

Well, I salute you. You've done excellent work.

Pardon my intrusion, but are you Spanish?

Because you speak perfect Spanish.

I was born in La Coruña.

But your last name, Oliveira, sounds Portuguese.

Are your parents Portuguese?

Also Galician.

My paternal grandfather was Portuguese.

And you lived your whole life in Portugal?

I came here some years ago, after my parents died.

I need the addresses of the wholesalers.

Coming.

I'm sorry, but I have a lot of work to do.

Yes, of course. Sorry.

Good day.

I'm ready.

How's everything so far, miss? Is everything okay?

Very good.

Mr. Da Silva has been treating me very well.

And his secretaries.

Miss Elisa and Miss Oliveira.

Miss Oliveira is Spanish, like you.

Yes, yes. I noticed.

Maybe I'm being silly, but I feel she doesn't like me very much.

-No. -Yes, yes. I don't know.

Maybe I did something to displease her.

No, I'm sure you didn't.

The thing is that, by nature, women are jealous.

I don't understand.

Mr. Da Silva and Miss Oliveira...

-Well, there are whispers that... -I get it.

Please don't make me talk, miss, since I already talk too much.

Where are we going today?

-Here. -To Chiado. Very good.

This is the best coffee in all of Lisbon.

Go in and order a bica, miss.

You won't regret it.

-A bica? -A bica.

-Will you join me? -No.

Let's go, please.

Well, miss, I will be here tomorrow at 9:00

to continue the scheduled visits with the distributors.

Perfect.

Good afternoon.

-Good day. -Good day.

-Did you sleep well, miss? -Very well, thanks for asking.

-I'll wait for you in-- -By the way,

yesterday I took a stroll by the beach, and thought I saw you in your car.

From my car? It could be.

Estoril is a small city.

Yesterday, after dropping you off, I went home for dinner.

My wife made a delicious feijoada. She should start her own restaurant.

Before I went to bed, I looked out my window

and it looked like you returned to the hotel gates.

That, but...

My boss wants it to be that way.

It's a courteous gesture from Mr. Manuel.

As I said before, I am completely at your disposal

during your whole stay here.

In any event, I don't think I will need anything in the middle of the night.

-Besides, it must be a bother for you. -No. I assure you it's no bother at all.

It's my duty.

Well, are you ready for me to take you to

- visit some distributors? - Yes, yes.

Remember, miss. Tonight, you have a dinner date with Mr. Manuel.

Don't worry, I won't forget.

Well, Arish, tell me.

How have my distributor friends treated you so far?

Very well.

And you? Didn't you have a meeting?

With a scary German man.

Thank you.

It was so boring like you wouldn't believe.

Stop complaining

for you have two secretaries all to yourself.

You're right, I shouldn't be complaining.

Surely you sold him some of my fabrics to make parachutes with.

Why are we talking about work?

We could be dancing.

You want to dance?

Can we sit? I'm feeling a little dizzy.

Of course.

Da Silva.

Logan.

Where have you been hiding? It's been a century since I've seen you.

I've called you and I haven't managed to get to you.

Business deals, you know?

Allow me to introduce my Moroccan friend to you

who just arrived from Madrid.

Arish Agoriuq, Marcus Logan.

Nice to meet you.

A pleasure.

-Sit with us and have a drink. -No, no, I can't. I'm with some friends.

I just came over to greet you and to remind you that we must meet.

Any one of these days, I promise.

-Miss... Agoriuq? -Yes.

-It's a pleasure to meet you. -Likewise.

Marcus Logan is a fine guy.

-Is he British? -He's a journalist.

Irish people chasing me all over the place to score an interview with me.

He gets to travel all over Europe thanks to his newspaper.

With how the year's going, he's visited quite frequently.

Are you feeling okay?

I'm a little dizzy.

You dance so well.

So do you.

We'd make a great dancing couple.

Could be.

And I think dancing isn't the only thing we could do well together, Arish.

You'll have to forgive me

but business knows nothing of schedules.

Don't worry.

I'll be right back.

Joâo.

How long have you been working for my stores, Daniel?

Two years, Mr. Da Silva.

Two years...

I'm very disappointed in you.

To whom were you going to show these papers?

No one, I swear!

I only took them to balance the numbers.

I was going to return them right away...

Look at me.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you.

Really, I swear to you...

I'd never betray you, please...

I don't think he was lying.

Sorry, I overstepped my bounds. My wife tells me all the time.

Listen to your wife, Joâo.

I'm happy to see you again, Sira, or Arish.

What are you doing here?

I can't tell you.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

Don't touch me!

At least tell me you are not involved with Manuel Da Silva.

Marcus, please, let me go.

I cannot speak to you.

Please, stay away from me.

Please.

What happened to the Sira I left in Tétuan?

Excuse me.

I was in the ladies' room.

Now where were we?

Well...

We were about to make a toast with this marvelous champagne.

Perfect. Cheers!

As I was saying, if you want to spoil yourself

you can find many in Portugal...

What are you doing here?

What happened to the Sira I left in Tétuan?

Are you listening, Arish?

Arish?

American cosmetics?

I have to buy some mascara...

And...

some rouge for my lips.

A woman can never have too much lipstick.

I'd love to join you, but I'm afraid

I have to spend the whole morning in Sintra.

Don't worry.

I'll find a way to amuse myself.

The truth is that this is one of the prettiest streets in this city.

Yes, it is.

Excuse me, my curious miss. But why did you want to come over here?

Well...

because one of my best clients at the shop used to live here.

And she told me how pretty it was.

Now I see that she was right.

Rosalinda Fox

Good morning, Beatriz.

I'm looking for Mr. Da Silva.

Mr. Da Silva will be out of the office for the day.

Work.

Oh, I didn't know that.

That's a problem.

Would you mind if I sit down for a little bit?

I've been seeing my providers all morning and I'm exhausted. I need to rest.

A cigarette?

-No, thanks. -Well.

I've also went shopping.

You don't know how lucky you are.

In Spain, everything is so boring.

Although... knowing who is in command...

What can we expect of somebody

that wants us to stay home cleaning and giving birth to children?

And that has all the prisons full,

and doesn't show any compassion for the defeated.

But, well, what would you know?

You belong to a different world.

Don't be wrong, Beatriz.

I know a lot of people.

Even though now I'm around the more powerful...

I also know what a cold winter is.

To lick the plate clean...

and be up before sunrise to go to work.

Would you take a cigarette?

How are things going in Portugal?

Bad.

Maybe Salazar's new state is not as repressive as our Spain...

but the lack of freedom is evident.

My parents were Republicans.

We were planning on fleeing Spain, but they weren't able to do it.

I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I think that it was better.

Portugal is not what they thought.

Well...

at least it looks like it won't enter the war.

I'm talking about politics, not business.

They say there are some Portuguese business men...

that are using this to be able to expand their deals with the Nazis.

Who are you?

I'm just a seamstress.

A woman, a simple worker, like you.

Who doesn't like to see all that's happening around us.

What's Da Silva's deal with the Germans, Beatriz?

When I was here the other day,

you announced the visit of some Herr Weiss.

Tell me.

I don't know anything.

Really.

Fine.

I understand.

It's normal.

Manuel Da Silva is your boss and you have to protect him.

Besides, it's pretty obvious that between you

there's more than just a work relationship.

Yes, we had something going on, but it's over.

-It was a mistake on my part. -You don't need to explain.

Your private life is not my business.

But, please, help me.

Tell me all you know about Da Silva and the Germans.

Beatriz, remind me to never go back to the São Julião café...

-Miss Agoriuq, excuse me. -Don't worry, I was just leaving.

Miss.

You forgot your cigarettes.

What we talked about is between the two of us.

Think about it.

Goodbye.

Mr. Da Silva, how was the meeting?

Wonderful, Miss Eliza, thank you.

Miss Oliveira, any calls?

Herr Weiss called. And Marcus Logan also called again...

the English journalist.

Call Herr Weiss and connect the call to my office.

What about Mr. Logan? He's already left two messages.

Really? Throw them away.

And bring me a coffee, Miss Oliveira.

Miss Oliveira.

Maybe it's asking too much...

How about a smile?

Let me help you with that.

More.

More.

There it is. Pretty girl.

12 in the morning

10th row Left side

Front desk?

Yes. Could you please tell my driver that tomorrow morning I'm staying in, resting?

Yes, I won't need him until the afternoon.

That's it.

Very good. Thanks.

Excuse me. Could you take me to Sao Domingos church?

-Yes, sure. -Miss Agoriuq.

What are you doing?

Me?

I thought that you'd been told that I didn't need you.

Yes, I was. But you know that I'm always at your service.

What do you want to do at Sao Domingos church?

Well... I was thinking about taking the morning off.

But I...

I realized that it was the anniversary of the death of my father.

And...

well, I wanted to light a candle to his memory.

Rest in peace.

-Thank you. -I'm very sorry, miss.

Well, let's go to the car.

I'll take you to the church.

I came with João.

He is Da Silva's eyes and ears.

João is a good man.

But he is loyal to his boss.

Yes, I know. He carries out his duty.

I know.

It's just that he doesn't leave me alone ever.

Thank you so much for doing this.

No one in Portugal will know that we had this conversation.

You work for the English, right?

All I know...

is that Da Silva has some deals going on with the Germans.

But at the office we only see Herr Weiss.

There must be others, but I don't know them.

Lately, he's also had some meetings with entrepreneurs from the Beira's area.

Towards the middle of the country.

There's going to be a dinner at Da Silva's ranch in three days.

The Germans and the Portuguese entrepreneurs will attend.

From the Beira area.

And I know they need to close a very important deal.

What kind of deal?

Sell and buy.

But I don't know what.

All I know is... there's a lot of money involved.

They will all attend with their wives.

And Da Silva has a special interest in treating them very well.

He's had me ordering flowers and chocolates for them.

This is very valuable information.

Thank you very much.

Now, please... go.

And be very careful.

Arish.

My condolences.

Thank you very much.

My father wasn't Christian...

but I feel consolation going to church

-on the anniversary of his death. -Yes.

-Do you feel like having a drink? -Yes. Yes definitely.

It will help to clear my mind.

Besides, I've had a very busy day.

-Have you visited more providers? -Yes.

I've bought a lot of material.

And... accessories. I lost track.

Thank you.

Well, your clients will be fascinated.

I hope so.

Especially the German ones.

The Germans are the most demanding ones.

Thankfully, I manage to keep them happy.

I have an appointment with Elsa Brookman. Do you know her?

Well, yes, close friend of Hitler.

And Mrs. Lazar, head of press and propaganda.

To me, she's one of my best friends.

I also have some good German friends.

I would think so.

We are actually having dinner all together at my ranch.

A small dinner with Portuguese and German friends.

Would you like to come, Arish?

Of course.

Good morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Da Silva.

Good morning. Please, come in. He's waiting in his office.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Beatriz. Beatriz.

Beatriz!

What?

Do you mind if I take my break now?

Of course, no problem.

I'll take over.

Thanks.

I've already told you that I don't have any ties with my English customers.

And my superiors appreciate your consideration, but...

we both know it's not enough to just not pick up the phone.

Excuse me. I brought you some coffee.

-Do you want some, Herr Weiss? -No, I don't want anything, thanks.

I'll leave it here, in case you change your mind.

We can't take any risks.

The operation is just too important.

-So, what do you want me to do? -You know.

Any British around you, represents a big risk.

-Leave it! I'm speaking with the major! -Excuse me.

Get out!

I brought you a microfilm with all the information that we talked about.

Names, maps, amounts.

Everything is in here.

And... the serial number.

Memorize it.

And about our English friends...

I have trustful men that are used to deal with this kind of stuff.

Ex-convicts.

They will take care of... neutralizing them.

There's nothing else to discuss, then.

Here is the list with the names.

Oliveira.

Forgive me if I was a little rude to you...

Don't worry about it.

It's just that I'm about to close an important deal,

and I'm a little stressed out, that's all.

I really appreciate your gesture earlier.

I was just trying to be nicer, smile more, like you told me.

Good girl.

Excuse me miss, I'll be done in a second.

My wife scolds me if I don't polish the car every day.

She says that her job is to keep the house clean.

And mine, the car.

What's your wife's name?

-Fátima, miss. -Do you have children?

Five children and a granddaughter

I'm sure she has your eyes.

-Do you want to see a picture? -Sure.

Very pretty!

-Her name is Fátima, like her grandmother. -They look alike.

And, if it's not too much to ask, can I show you something else?

Of course.

The Virgin of Fátima for her.

It's her First Communion this week.

Congratulations.

I would like it better in gold, but...

between the new dress... food after...

I can't stretch the money anymore.

I'm sure she'll love it.

João... you have a beautiful family.

Thank you very much for your interest.

Miss Agoriuq.

-I'll tell Mr. Da Silva you are here. -Thank you.

Arish. I was waiting for you.

-Come in. -Can I have some water, please?

Beatriz will get it for you. Come to my office.

I hope everything is right.

No.

It's perfect.

But I have some news that might interest you.

Tell me.

One of my shipments got here this morning from Macao, with new fabrics.

We haven't even sorted them yet.

I thought you might want to go to the warehouse to take a look.

I would love to.

And if you see something else you like, you can order it there.

One of my employees will take you tomorrow.

Am I the first one to look at the new fabrics?

The first one.

Thank you so much.

You are welcome.

If you excuse me, I'd like to use the restroom.

We can't talk in here.

-Tomorrow in the afternoon at the church. -Impossible.

I have to go to the warehouse.

That's fine. I'll see you there.

Will you have a key?

Please, tell me what is it?

Herr Weiss came this morning.

And gave Mr. Da Silva a microfilm

with information about the deal that they will be closing.

Beatriz...

we need to find that microfilm.

And there's more.

He also gave him a list.

A list of what?

One more second.

I'm sorry.

Excuse me, Mr. Da Silva, but I need you to sign these contracts for me...

I was about to leave. Can it wait until tomorrow?

I'm afraid not.

Where do I sign?

Here.

Here.

And also here.

Has Miss Elisa left already?

Yes, we are the last ones.

There is nobody left here.

Miss Oliveira, you know this can't happen...

I am so clumsy.

I'll clean it all up right now.

-Let me help you. -No, no, no.

Really.

Don't worry.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, then.

There it is. I left my briefcase.

Are you feeling better?

Yes.

Really.

Oliveira.

About us...

About us.

We agreed that we can't continue seeing each other.

I know it's just very recent, but...

we need to make an effort and move on with our lives.

Don't you think?

You are right. I don't know what happened to me.

Here, come.

You need to understand.

You are a wonderful woman.

But... I'm your boss, Oliveira.

I'm your boss. It can't be.

-Do you understand? -Perfectly.

Let's forget what happened...

and let's not think about it anymore, okay?

Yes.

That's it.

-Better? -Yes.

Excuse me for asking this...

but would it be possible to take the afternoon off tomorrow?

I have a doctor's appointment.

Of course, Oliveira.

No problem.

-Ready to go? -Yes.

-I'll wait for you in the car, miss. -Perfect.

Welcome, Miss Agoriuq.

I'm Simón Pirose, in charge of the warehouse. All yours.

-Nice meeting you. -This way.

Mr. Da Silva asked me to show you all the new merchandise.

Is everything okay?

No. I always turn the key twice. Nothing else.

Oh, well, probably my mistake. It happens.

Yes.

Here, all the silk. Directly from China.

Very nice.

If you want, you can go. I'll let you know when I'm done.

-Sure. I'll be around. -Thanks.

We don't have a lot of time.

Last night, I tried to get the microfilm, but it was impossible.

Da Silva took it in his briefcase.

-He probably has it at his ranch. -Don't worry.

He invited me to the dinner with the Germans.

I'll try to get it then.

Look for it in his office.

Second floor, first door to the right.

-Will you remember it? -Yes.

You also mentioned a list.

For a while, Da Silva has told us not to take any calls,

or allow any visits from the English that he used to do business with.

Herr Weiss ordered Da Silva...

to neutralize those English.

What does he mean, "neutralize'?

Get rid of them, I guess.

Thank you.

Do you know the names?

I wrote them down.

Thank you.

-Manuel. What is he doing here? -I don't know.

I had a break between two meetings and I came to see how Miss Agoriuq is doing...

I was looking at the silks from Macao...

Thanks.

Arish.

You scared me! What are you doing here?

-Just came to see you. -Come, I want to show you some fabrics.

Look at this silk.

Isn't it the most wonderful thing you've ever seen?

No doubt, it's wonderful.

Touch it. Please, touch it.

And these two, with this print. These two.

And then here, this one here with the flowers, I like it a lot.

Yes, this one would be perfect for me. And then, there was another one...

-This purple one, I love it. -Me, too.

Who is there?

Who is there?

Miss Oliveira.

What are you doing here?

Answer!

Tell me!

I followed you, Manuel.

I can't stop thinking about you.

I've been following you...

since she came to Portugal.

I have very deep feelings for you.

And I'm very jealous.

You are spending so much time with another woman.

Miss Agoriuq is just a client.

Since she got here, you just have eyes for her.

Oliveira, you are being ridiculous.

I'm just telling the truth.

Enough! You are making Miss Agoriuq very uncomfortable.

This is inadmissible.

Mr. Pirose, please. Take her to the office.

Have her take her things and leave right away.

You are fired.

Out!

I'm sorry, Arish.

-Please, let me apologize again. -Please, don't worry.

I insist.

It was very uncomfortable.

Poor Beatriz.

I think you were too hard with her.

Her only mistake has been to fall in love with you.

She embarrassed me in front of a client, and I can't allow that to happen.

When we have a broken heart, we do silly things.

Do you think she'll be able to find a job?

If it makes you feel better...

I can write a recommendation letter for her.

That will help her.

Are you happy now?

Thank you.

-You are too good, Arish. -No.

I have to admit that Beatriz was right about one thing.

What?

That I only have eyes for you.

Would you like to go have some drinks?

I'm very tired.

I understand.

-See you tomorrow. -See you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Marcus Logan

We know that you have a very good friend in Portugal,

but we think it wouldn't be prudent to see each other.

Mrs. Fox will be advised to act like she doesn't know you,

in case you run into each other.

Miss Agoriuq.

Good night.

Do you want me to take you anywhere?

No, don't worry. I was just going for a walk.

Then, I'll go with you.

You shouldn't be walking all by yourself this late.

I'll be very careful.

No, let's get in the car.

If something were to happen to you, Mr. Da Silva wouldn't forgive me.

-I wanted to have something to eat. -It's too late, miss.

You won't find any open restaurant this late.

You are right.

Don't forget.

I'm picking you up very early tomorrow morning to take you to the Baixa.

Yes.

Good night.

Same to you.
