A NETFLIX SERIES

"Observations."

"The victim is in an advanced state

of decomposition."

"Cause of death

undetermined."

- Any news, Doctor? - It's confirmed that it's Mia.

Are you sure?

Age and stature match, and I recognise the clothes and the watch.

But we still need an official identification.

She had no family. It'll have to be one of us.

And the cause of death?

To be sure, we have to send the body to the city of Santarém or Salvaterra.

Tell me what you know so far.

There is a perforation in the skull

uh... which was caused by a violent blow.

Do you mind if I smoke?

Be my guest.

There's no need to send the corpse to Santarém.

The corpse needs to be X-rayed, analysed.

It requires other exams.

I cannot write in the report that the cause of death is inconclusive.

Can I make a suggestion?

Sure.

Put down that it was an accident. Drowning.

She slipped, hit her head, fell down the dam and died.

- I cannot do that, sir. - They already don't trust us here.

How do you think they'll react when they know an employee may have been murdered?

I don't know, but my job is to report...

Your job, Miguel, is to take care of the living.

Our relationship with the Portuguese government is... very fragile.

Mia died, and that is a tragedy,

but there's no need to complicate the situation further.

You know what to do.

It would be difficult to ask more questions

without raising people's suspicion.

- Good morning. - Hey.

The circumstances surrounding the appearance of the corpse are strange.

The Americans are very nervous.

I think PIDE should investigate.

I will make the arrangements.

Right. Do you need me to do anything else?

We will have to continue this conversation later.

- I must go now. - Of course.

Minister, sir.

I need you to accompany me to the Red Cross Hospital.

What's happened there?

Professor Oliveira Salazar is in the hospital.

Did you manage to see the corpse?

No. They say it was unrecognisable, it had been in the water for so long.

So, who was living in the house at the Magos dam?

And what was her involvement, then, with the Americans, huh?

Did they ever question her loyalty?

No idea.

We have to go back to the house by the dam and find out who was there.

In the meantime, I'll talk to the doctor to find out how she died.

And discover what the Americans believe.

Bill came back empty-handed.

Ursula's husband insists he has nothing to say to us.

So, leave him to PIDE.

You mind?

- You ready to go? - Sure.

Sh, sh, sh, sh. That's plenty. Plenty.

It's a commemorative bottle. Ten years at RARET.

- Oh, I'm so glad you came. - Oh, they gave you a bottle, did they?

No, only the directors are entitled to these.

- Ah. Must be the best. - Ten years? 12 would be good.

- I thought you were happy with Otília. - Mmm.

I had to send her home. She's about to deliver the baby any day now.

Oh. It's difficult to find good maids around here.

I know. And I still haven't found one.

The hotel actually had to help me find maids for tonight.

- Mmm. - I'm gonna go get some ice.

- Sure, honey. - Need help?

- I'm fine. Thanks, Anne. - Okay. Thank you.

More ice?

Two, please.

I will give you one extra

as the night is hot, and the ice will melt quickly.

Can't stop eating this steak. Seriously. It's delicious.

Have you already managed to talk to her family?

- More tea? - Yes, please.

- She didn't have any family. - Thank you.

According to the file, they all died in Auschwitz.

- Oh. That's shocking. - Give me two minutes.

I met her in Lisbon and, uh...

How come she was able to survive a concentration camp as a child,

just to come here and die?

Yeah. Well, perhaps it's not the time to talk about it.

No. No, it's not.

Especially with the ladies present. Hmm.

How did she die, though?

She drowned.

She drowned?

Didn't she have her clothes on?

- I was told she was found fully dressed. - Yes, it's pretty.

What do you suppose happened, Miguel?

Was it an accident, did she kill herself, or was she murdered?

I just determine the cause of death.

And hers was... an accident. Do you have a cigarette?

Ramiro, do you have a cigarette?

I'm going to the bathroom.

- Excuse me. - Do you know where it is?

Yes, thank you.

Miguel's not telling us everything.

But I'll go and see him tomorrow.

Elias just told me he's heard that everyone's on alert.

Seems likely the locals are going to protest.

We only have to report on what goes on at RARET with the Americans.

The rest is a matter for the military police.

Hm.

Point taken.

So, I need some ice. Do you want some?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

Okay. Good,

Thank you.

I think that's the same.

- No! - Mm-hm.

Very handsome.

The dessert you brought was fantastic.

It's the only thing I know how to make.

...Miguel, but James brought that from somewhere.

- So good. - I don't know where specifically...

- We should ask him. - Mmm.

I would like to have this around our house.

You mentioned before that you knew Mia from Lisbon?

We had many friends in common, and we went out a few evenings,

the two of us.

Mia never mentioned it, you see.

- Did you know her well? - Sofia?

If she doesn't come...

- We were just talking. - I'll help you...

It's late. We're going home.

- Here's to our hosts. - Yes, thank you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Next, we have song number five.

It's called "Verão." The singer is Carlos Mendes.

The President of the Council, Professor Oliveira Salazar,

was admitted to the Portuguese Red Cross Hospital,

where he underwent surgery as a result of a fall.

According to the statement from the ministry, we...

- Good morning. - Good morning.

I know you don't like cars, but it's way too hot to walk there the whole way.

I'm used to the weather.

- Where are you working, is it far away? - Close to Vala de Magos.

Oh, really? I'm going in that direction.

- It's not necessary. - Really.

We'll be there in no time at all.

Very well. But please drop me off at the crossroads.

I don't want to arrive in a car, or else they'll start gossiping about me.

Thank you.

Every day, when I go for breakfast, I hope that you'll have returned to RARET.

That's life around here.

We're all born with a purpose in life.

I also know that you have dreams.

The other day, you dreamt of the ocean, remebmer?

One day, I will see it.

How about today?

- Today? - Yes.

It's not possible. I have to work, you see.

We'll make an excuse, no problem.

Yes, but I...

Don't worry. I won't insist.

It was just an idea.

We'd be back by mid-afternoon.

Wait a minute. We must.

The ocean's calling me.

It's so grand!

- Would you like to have a splash? - Is it possible?

- Of course. - It's not dangerous?

No.

It's fine.

Oh! Oh!

It's so cold!

And it really is salty!

Oh!

Careful!

You know that I'm engaged to be wed.

Is that what you want?

It's all been arranged.

I should never have come here with you.

But I'm glad you did.

You don't always have to behave how others expect you to.

Miguel, we swam together in the dam, you know? I saw her swim many times.

She swam well. It doesn't make any sense.

What doesn't make sense is her being killed.

There was nothing to be stolen from the house.

She worked at RARET as a telegraphist.

You know what happened?

She probably fell over, hit her head, and then she drowned.

Do you have a lighter?

Uh... Here.

She said goodbye to me.

Miguel. Miguel.

She said goodbye to me.

Do you think that maybe she killed herself?

Gonçalo, that's enough.

If that rumour starts spreading, she won't even get a decent burial.

You know what they're like, those priests.

Sometimes I wonder, maybe I could have somehow...

Is there something I could have done to have been there? Talked to her?

- Tried to understand... - It was an accident.

That's the best version for everybody.

Hmm.

James doesn't want the police coming to RARET and posing questions.

The version I've just told you, it's the official version.

Ah, the official version. And then there's the other version...

Don't bother with your theories. James doesn't want PIDE coming here.

I can understand.

How is the professor doing? Salazar? Will he be all right? Is there any news?

Only the official news.

He's recovering well.

Say...

well, if something should happen...

what happens to the regime?

Whoever it was, they didn't return here.

I doubt they will. Now that the corpse of Mia has been discovered.

Gonçalo told me that these bottles are reserved for directors.

In that case, the list of suspects just became shorter.

You need to establish who still has the bottle at home.

Good evening.

Would you like to tell me where you've been all day?

Uh... On my way to the field, I met Ermelinda.

She asked if I'd be able to care for her mother,

She woke feeling unwell.

She couldn't even get out of bed.

An aerogram from Fernando.

"My dearest Carolina,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits."

"The days here continue to pass so slowly,

and my longing for home only increases with time."

"Knowing that we're getting married is what keeps me alive."

"I miss you so much. Yours, Fernando."

"Tell my parents that I'm fine."

- Good evening, sir. - Good evening.

OFFICE JAMES WILSON

They confirmed it was a haemorrhage.

- What's the current status? - We don't know.

But even if it's serious, I doubt that they would tell us.

We offered the services of a New York neurologist,

but I hope they don't accept it,

because if he dies, I certainly don't want us involved.

Yeah, and the pieces will start to move swiftly.

Listen, we need to play our part and protect our interests.

I know. And be ready for anything.

You got that right.

What's the problem here?

Roberto?

Oh, God.

Roberto!

- Sir? Good evening, madam. - Roberto.

- I can't open the door. - Uh...

- May I have a try? - Yeah.

Good evening, sir.

- Hi, João. - Hi.

Ah, João. Night shift?

Exactly. Like everyone.

- Well, have a good one. Excuse me. - Thank you.

Can you fix it?

- It won't open? - No.

Yes, um... I can call someone... Amanhã?

- He's going to call someone tomorrow. - Yes, yes, tomorrow.

You can't get anyone in here now?

- Yes, I'm sorry... - Forget it.

Here, we're lucky if they fix it tomorrow. Or ever.

What do you say to a game of tennis tomorrow morning?

When I finish my shift.

Okay. Let's do it.

Perfect.

Have a good night.

- Good night, João. - Night, João.

I'm really sorry, sir.

- I cannot do anything. - It's okay.

I'm sorry, madam. I'm really sorry.

Let's go.2

Well played.

Game, set, and match.

Good.

Best out of five?

Aren't you tired?

I am. But I don't like to lose.

You serve like Rod Laver.

Okay. One more, all or nothin'.

But first, you look like you could use some water.

Yeah.

You play pretty good for a Portuguese.

Well, I took classes for a few years.

And in Africa, I played with other officers.

I served in Korea.

Your war will end too.

It will. But I don't see the end in sight.

Ah, even if the Portuguese win, they lose.

The cost of keeping the colonies is way too high.

I know the position of the US on this subject.

I'm sure you're well-informed.

Your father plays the hand he was dealt, and he does it well, but...

You were there. You know.

Winning a war fought on three fronts is practically impossible.

- The government has a different opinion. - And you?

Portugal and Spain will have to change.

And we won't forget whoever helps us make it a peaceful change.

Your serve.

What a surprise.

Wasn't very smart to send that kid to RARET with that note.

That kid can't read.

If you need me, I will be in room number three.

Hmm.

Come in.

It took you a while.

Your accent...

German father and Portuguese mother.

Is the interrogation over?

Here you are.

I'll see you out.

- I just have to go wash my hands. - Go ahead.

Take care of yourself. There's rumour that the military police

has orders to move in if the protest should start.

Don't worry. We know how to deal with them.

Does it say anything about the start of the season? Huh?

As long as we have Eusebio on our side, Sporting don't have a hope.

Even the rebels in Africa apparently stop fighting to listen to the games.

Is that true, João?

I heard that our troops turn the speakers towards the jungle,

and even the rebels shout "Goal!"

No. Those are just made-up stories.

- Oh. Right. - I'm really not awake.

Go and have a nap.

Go on. We'll keep an eye on this.

- Perhaps I just need some water. - Mmm.

Everything is fine with the baby.

Don't worry. And in a little while you will start showing on your tummy.

When that happens, I'll have to discuss it with my husband, won't I? Not until then.

Listen, Sofia, I understand you feel a bit unsure,

but I have no doubt at all that Ramiro will be very happy with this news.

Doctor, I...

I'm worried, though.

That Ramiro will reject her, if it's a girl...

That's absurd.

And presumably why you don't want to tell him?

You're right. Maybe there's no reason to be concerned.

It's just that Ramiro's always talked about wanting a boy.

Don't worry, I will not say a word. All right?

I want you to check everything that might be causing interference.

- A complete check, sir. We know. - I'll leave you.

He enjoys lunch, while we get to be here.

That's great, that is.

I went back to look at Mia's house near the dam.

There was a bottle there just like the one we drank from at James's house.

Did Ramiro get one, do you remember?

Do you think she was involved with Ramiro?

It was you who mentioned that it was someone here.

Mia and that bastard Ramiro?

Go on, try to play some music.

♪ Ela quis viver e o mundo correr ♪

♪ Prometeu voltar se o vento mudar... ♪

Perhaps he was the one who murdered her.

Hmm... No. No, Ramiro wasn't here.

He was training in Germany around the time she disappeared.

You're certain, are you?

I am. I carried his baggage to the car.

It could also have been James, couldn't it?

- Hmm. - ♪ Que eu estou tão só... ♪

Miguel told me that James asked him to falsify the autopsy report.

His excuse was he didn't want the police snooping around RARET.

- That's understandable. - Understandable.

Or isn't, and she killed herself and we're just running around in circles.

Sir?

I don't think you should drive.

No, I'm fine.

Are you all right, sir?

Oh, Elias, I didn't see the sign.

It's late, and with all the celebrations...

I thought I needed to turn here.

I suggest what you need to do is sleep it off, sir.

I'll accompany you.

I'll take you to Casa do Povo.

- You can play some cards. - No, no, no. I'd rather not go there.

I'll get in big trouble if the director sees me like this.

Nothing to see here. Go back to the celebrations!

I'd prefer to wait at the police station until I feel better, if you don't mind.

Get rid of them. I'll take you there.

Come on, mind your step.

What happened?

Unfortunately, this gentleman's not feeling too well.

I've given him permission to rest here for an hour or two.

Of course, sir. Sit down.

Go ahead, please. Don't worry about me.

It's best if I just close my eyes for a moment and...

He hit the sign on the town square.

...I'll be right as rain.

You'd better fill out a form stating that.

What did he hit?

You left the celebration early.

Did something happen?

I heard that you skipped work to drive around in a car with some man.

Who is he?

Papa...

Tell me. Who is the bastard?

- Please don't, Luís. - Quiet!

It's because of you that she's so defiant!

- Because of you and Ermelinda! - Ermelinda's not responsible.

- Isn't she? Who is he? - Papa!

Leave her alone!

Elias...

Tomorrow, are you on duty during the festival?

No, only today because of the procession. Tomorrow, I'll be back to RARET.

Okay. I'll get Parrulas to do the rounds.

- See you tomorrow. - What about him?

When he wakes up, you can let him go.

He's had enough time to sleep it off.

See you tomorrow, Elias.

- Parrulas, start doing the rounds. - Yes, sir.

Well? Everyone else has gone. Why am I still here?

PIDE will be here soon to answer that.

Is it morning already?

Sir.

- Feeling better? - Yes.

- Where is Officer Elias? - He just left.

I'm ready to go home now. So I just need my keys.

- What keys? - Keys to my car.

Didn't Elias give them to you?

He didn't give me anything. Are you certain he had them?

Certain.

Let me see if I can still catch him.

I don't know where he is.

And it's not possible for me to leave the station, I'm afraid.

Oh.

Well, looks like I had them all along.

It can happen when we have one too many. We all know what it's like, right, sir?

The Americans and their friends from RARET

do whatever they want, while you just continue to bend over for them.

- Shut up, Quim. - Am I lying?

It's as if you're enjoying it, as well.

Tell me, how does it feel to bend right over for all those Americans?

I'd be more careful who you offend.

You mean a homo guard?

Didn't you get enough of a beating when you came in?

Ah, yeah, you're all very brave when you're together.

You know what they say about you in the village?

They say that you also need a little help to take care of your wife, homo.

- I'll show you who needs help. - Come on, homo!

- Go away! - Ohh!

What now, then, arsehole? Huh?

- Don't move! - Fucking calm down, Quim.

- Don't move. - Calm down, Quim. Calm down!

Calm the fuck down!

Calm down.
