A NETFLIX SERIES

Good. You're nearly there.

- Push, Otília. Push! - Push!

Push, Otília!

Well done. Scissors. The scissors. Pass...

I want to see my baby.

- Is it a boy, Doctor? Let me see him. - Otília...

My baby, Doctor.

The baby was born with some problems, Otília.

Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Let me see my son! Let me see him!

Um, take the baby.

Sh. Calm down, calm down.

Sh.

Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

Should I be seeing this?

My government makes everything more mysterious than it really is.

Dr. Dassaev was head of the Soviet space project.

But why are you sharing this information with me?

Well, because for two days, he will be our responsibility.

And yours. I need your help.

Did you talk to Ramiro?

Ah, don't worry about him. He won't be a problem.

As a matter of fact, he's part of the welcoming committee.

I really like this whiskey.

I'll get you a bottle if you like.

I thought it was a limited edition, only for directors.

There's more where that came from. And I'll make an exception for a friend.

Is that my fee for escorting the Russian?

Well, in that case, better make it two.

Dassaev has a reputation for being difficult.

Maybe take him to a bullfight. And the fado shows.

Well, if there's no one else in Lisbon...

We're the closest thing to scientists he'll find in this country.

And I need a good host.

- You can count on me. - Good.

Be nice, but don't let him feel too comfortable.

Before he changed his name and went to the Soviet Union,

he was a member of the German V-2 missile investigation team during the war.

And why did he switch sides?

Because of the conditions we offered him. And for the money and freedom he'll have.

We have to get to the moon before the Soviets, so we need the best,

no matter how unpleasant.

- Another whiskey? - Yeah.

- Oh! - It's okay.

- I'm sorry. - Carolina!

That's all right.

No, leave it.

- Dr. James? - Please, if you would, clean it up.

I'm sorry.

There's no need to apologise, sir.

- I'll get you that whiskey. - That'll be great.

Has she had the baby?

She has no arms.

Since I arrived at RARET, it's the third time that a baby has abnormalities.

I'll help her any way I can.

Maybe that's not such a good idea.

Local people like to blame the antennas for all the harm that comes to them.

- That's nonsense. - I know.

Maybe you can try to convince them otherwise.

I thought your father didn't want you to work at RARET.

I suppose he changed his mind.

Dr. James had a word with him.

What happened to you?

Nothing. See?

Tomorrow, I'll be married.

You don't have to do that against your wish.

What choice do I have, would you say?

When you see me again, drive by.

- Everyone knows everything here. - Carolina...

All right.

Do you want a coffee?

Hmm... No. I'd better not. I had some earlier. Thanks.

OFFICE JAMES WILSON

Won't be long before the Communist Party

starts agitating against the antennas.

Well, Elias killed one of 'em. That should keep 'em quiet for a while.

That doesn't make me feel better.

We need to keep our eyes open at all times.

You got too many problems at once.

We can't guarantee Dassaev's safety until we find out who's who.

The embassy thinks he'll be safer with us.

Safer?

They don't want to take responsibility if anything happens to him.

Mmm.

They know what we're going through.

Ursula's disappearance, Soviet sabotage...

That's why I want you to stick with him at all times.

Put another guy in the hotel, in the room next to him.

Do we have to go to the theatre?

We've gotta keep him busy.

But by his reputation, the Parque Mayer should put him in a better mood.

Maybe he forgets his family and runs off with a showgirl to the States.

And if we can't get his family out, what happens then?

When we get the go from Washington,

he's on that plane, with or without his family.

Those are the orders.

We have to get to the moon before the Soviets.

I'm going outside for a cigarette.

It's a beautiful night, sir.

Do you have a cigarette?

Dassaev is passing through here, before getting on a plane to the US.

He'll be here for one night.

We have to do it while we can.

You could try to smile, you know?

You're not the only one forced to get married this way.

Fernando will be back, God willing.

I know he will, Mama.

Your life will be better than the one I've known.

What are you trying to say?

That you should be content with what you have.

Well. We must go.

Dearly beloved,

we meet on this joyful day in the house of our Lord,

to take part in this celebration

of the marriage of Fernando Marcelino,

who is represented by his father,

and Carolina Ferreira,

on the day, the day they decided to establish their home.

- I, Carolina Ferreira... - I, Carolina Ferreira...

...take thee, Fernando Marcelino, to be my wedded husband.

- ...take thee, Fernando Marcelino... - Give me the fucking gun.

- I promise to be faithful... - Told you you would.

- What? - I promise to be faithful...

- To love and respect you... - Get in there!

- To love and respect you... - Go on!

...for better or for worse...

...for better or for worse...

...in sickness and in health...

...in sickness and in health...

...and until death do us part.

...until death do us part.

Carolina...

Carolina...

...I give you this ring...

...I give you this ring...

...as a symbol of Fernando Marcelino's love...

...as a symbol of Fernando Marcelino's love...

...and his devotion to you.

...and his devotion to you.

In the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Dearly beloved,

together, we beg for our Lord's blessings to Fernando and Carolina.

So that, united in Christ...

...by the holy bond of matrimony, they may be one heart and one soul.

- Amen. - Amen.

Go in peace, and may the Lord be with you.

Amen.

- My man, Fernando! - Ah!

- So much lighter, yeah? - Finally, a baptism of fire for you.

Uh, what is it, Fernando?

Fernando. Fernando!

- Yeah, he's done it. - Fernando, make the most of it.

When you get back, you can't do this to your wife.

What a little hero.

Let's go.

God bless you. Congratulations.

Yeah, copy. I'll turn on 12.

- Thank you. - I have a reel from Maxuqueira.

I've just finished my shift. Give it to João.

Very good.

That's it.

Are these examples of interference for the whole night through?

- They are. - The Russians kept at it.

We changed the angle of the antennas about half an hour ago. Stay alert.

- Okay. - We should be all right.

- I'm gonna turn in. - Yeah, great. Get some rest.

- Bye. - Bye.

James has more of those bottles for ten years' service.

Meaning he could have left one at the house by the dam.

Hmm... I'm not so sure.

I'm slowly getting more convinced that Mia took her own life.

She'd been talking recently, all about the past, about what she went through.

The concentration camps, and the family she lost...

Anyway, she came to say goodbye to me.

I thought she was going off with someone else, but looking back...

I wasn't able to understand what she was trying to say.

We still don't know what went on.

I'll continue to believe that it was murder.

You have to take more care.

With what?

All the people you associate with at RARET...

with your parents...

with Alexandre...

with women in general.

Huh.

Are you concerned that I'm not prepared?

You could say.

Do you know if they've declared the investigation closed?

With the autopsy report we gave them,

there's no reason for the police to keep asking questions.

But they are. I know that PIDE talked to Miguel.

Hello?

How are you, James? This is Henrique Vidal.

Ah, good afternoon, Henrique. How are you?

Did you hear the news?

After all, it's Marcello Caetano who will become President of the Council.

The President of the Republic has just made the announcement.

Salazar has been replaced.

I was expecting a different outcome.

Me too. But not all is lost just yet.

I have in front of methe report on the death of your telegraph operator.

PIDE thinks that, despite the autopsy,

there are still grounds to continue the investigation.

I'm inclined to drop the case.

It was an accident, I assure you. The doctor has no doubt.

I suggest you see what you can do for me, James,

and I will see what I can do for you.

Right. Pleasure talking to you, Henrique.

Likewise.

Why is he still mentioning the investigation?

Because he is not happy

with the appointment of the new President of the Council.

We need to speak to someone at the embassy.

How are the pain levels?

Well, it's particularly bad wheni put my weight on it.

I see. Yes. Uh, he's with a patient!

Sorry, you were saying?

- That's right. - Accident?

That's right.

Listen, it will soon pass, okay? Can I get you a glass of water?

- Of course. I'll speak to Doctor... - Bill?

- Do you have an appointment? - I don't.

I'm... I'm very busy right now, but if you come at the end of the day, uh...

Fátima, uh, I'll come and see you later on, all right?

I have to meet my friend. Right? Make sure you go slowly.

We have to be fast, okay?

Um...

So, do you have any complaints?

Yeah. You.

PIDE will be carrying out the investigation.

I... I didn't talk to anyone.

But it's normal that there are questions, you know?

The corpse should have gone to Santarém.

Everyone knows that we don't have the necessary means

for an autopsy like that.

Well, you need to believe what you wrote in that report.

If you believe it, then it's no longer a lie.

Fuck.

- He should be here by now. - Okay.

- There he is. - Oh.

Best I go and get him a drink.

James.

I don't need to introduce myself, do I?

I imagine you already know everything, or almost everything, about me.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm sure you were forced to do it.

Well, still, it's a pleasure to meet you.

I'm sure you'll enjoy Portugal, though five days isn't much time.

I already speak to the embassy.

I will not leave for America without my family.

I'm sure the embassy will handle everything.

Please, allow me to introduce you to my engineers.

Hmm.

And the lady?

- This is my wife, Anne. - Delighted.

Delighted.

What do you drink?

Champagne.

- I'll take care of that. - Oh, thank you.

- Five glasses of champagne, please. - So...

Have you ever been to a bullfight?

No, never.

You'll like it. It's brutal, and art at the same time.

Isn't it too violent for a lady?

Violence is a part of human nature.

I totally agree.

Hmm.

Ladies first.

I don't drink champagne.

Impossible. Just for the toast.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Sir, would you propose a toast?

Very well.

To bullfights, to women, in short...

to life.

I stole this phrase from Hemingway.

Anne, do you have a lighter, please?

- Ah, yes. - I forgot mine.

I have it here.

Women shouldn't smoke. It harms them.

So do high heels. We're used to sacrificing our health.

Touché.

Come, I'll introduce you to our lead engineer.

Aah.

My God, what a character.

- Oh! - Oh! Oh...

- It's okay. It's all right. - I'm so sorry, Theresa.

It's okay.

- Don't worry. - It's good luck.

I'm so sorry, Anne.

Can I offer you another champagne or martini?

- Martini, please. - Martini.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

Martini.

When we get the go from Washington,

he's on that plane, with or without his family.

Those are the orders.

Our job is to give them stability.

- Men are disoriented when they're alone. - And that's supposed to be enough?

If it were up to you, would you come to Portugal?

To the end of the world?

I'm a military brat.

What does that mean?

Well, it means that my dad was in the military,

so I grew up in that environment.

So, I never settled down anywhere.

My roots are wherever my family is.

Mmm.

- Another sherry? - Sure, if you insist.

- It's good, isn't it? - It is very good.

- Oh! That's plenty. Sofia! - It's only fruit.

Whoops.

- Hi! - Why are you two in such a good mood?

No reason. We're just talking.

Oh.

How was your day?

Mmm. Good.

The usual. And yours?

Lots of work, as always.

- But I'm not complaining. - Amen.

- Bill hasn't come home yet? - Probably not.

He will be worried if you're not home when he arrives.

Yes.

Yeah. It's getting late. I should go.

Um...

- See you tomorrow, Theresa. - Have a good night, Sofia.

Bye.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

- I don't want her at the house. - I'm always on my own.

- The TV should be enough for you. - I can't stand it any more, Ramiro.

Your problem is you can't decide.

So you do it for the both of us.

- Ramiro... - Quiet!

- Stop! - Why are you always taunting me?

- I didn't taunt you. I didn't do anything. - I do everything for you. Everything!

- Stop! Stop! - You could at least respect me.

I'm pregnant! Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Is she here?

Otília?

Did you come to visit Mrs. Anne?

Otília?

Otília?

Here. She's yours. Take her.

Carolina?

You made her this way, so here, you can keep her.

You should take the child, please.

Sh, sh, sh, sh...

I understand how difficult it is.

How? Come on.

I will, and James will be here to help you.

What will she do with her life?

Spend it begging from people outside the church?

Everybody in this world is individual, or even different.

This is one baby.

There are others who were born the same way here.

Okay, but this has nothing to do with the antennas.

Otília. Otília!

I promise that we'll be here to look after you.

When I look at her appearance...

I wonder how, for all that time, she was inside me.

- Go. Go. - Otília?

Anne?

- Do you have a moment? - Sure.

We have to help Otília.

She's not well.

If it were mine, I would probably take it to an institution.

It's probably for the best.

She's in no condition to raise it. And she continues to blame the antennas.

People are ignorant.

My father always said an ignorant person is the most dangerous,

because you never know what to expect.

I think my watch has stopped.

- I don't have any cigarettes. - Want one of mine?

No, I only smoke Provisórios. I'll buy some.

Fine. I'll come with you.

You'll miss the beginning of the second part.

Oh, I'm bored of this.

Uh, if you want, I can take you backstage to meet the girls.

This is not necessary.

- Shall we go inside? - I'll just finish my drink.

Okay, darling.

Can I get in touch with my wife tomorrow?

She's probably already on her way.

As soon as we get confirmation we got your family out of Moscow, you can leave.

- I'll leave when they arrive. - Hmm.

No. The team is waiting for you at Cape Kennedy.

They can look at the moon from below.

I didn't think you were so attached to your family.

Family is the humanity's source of prosperity and misery.

Yeah.

- Who did you steal that phrase from? - Luther.

Yeah.

I have orders to get you on board that plane

with or without your family.

That's what I thought.

It means both of us...

have a dilemma.

Hmm.

Humanity always advances in the midst of a tragedy.

They're not coming, aren't they?

Oh... I can't answer that question.

But if you change your mind and wanna meet the showgirls...

I don't need a watchdog.

How are you going to force me to embark for America?

We don't plan to force you. You'd best to get on that plane.

Can we go now?

Hey, hey, stop. What the fuck?

Hey. You need to go in this way.

Yes, yes, yes.

You can go in. I'll be there when I smoke my cigarette.

Don't worry, I will not run away.

I just want to smoke my cigarette in peace. Can I?

- Don't take too long. - Huh.

You need matches?

Yes.

You like americanos?

Well, I'm still experimenting.

Here. You should try, too.

Nah, I'm good.

Call an ambulance. Help!

- Help! - Help me!

Help!

Somebody help!

Bill, it's the Russian. He fell off the balcony.

Is he alive?

Call an ambulance!

- Where did they take him? - To the Red Cross Hospital.

At least he's in good company.

If Salazar knew that there is a communist in the next room,

he would fall off his chair again.

Dassaev cannot leave for the United States.

You have to take care of it.

He's in a coma.

Yes, but we need him dead.

Why not use someone from the Party, or an outside agent?

No, we've already done that. We can't take any chances.

- There's security at his door. - You'll figure something out.

- I don't know. - João.

I'm not asking you for a favour.

What if I'm caught?

That's of no concern.

The Russian was under your protection.

Mr. Ambassador...

The CIA should have never put a woman in charge in Portugal.

The guy's a drunk. It was an accident.

You seem to be having a lot of accidents lately, don't you think?

I made my recommendation to Washington that you be replaced.

Well, thank you for your honesty.

And from now on, we'll take care of security.

- Bill's at the hospital, watching him. - Not any more.

He's already been replaced.

Hopefully, Dassaev comes out of his coma

and gives us the information about their space programme.

That'll be all.

Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.

So?

Coulda gone worse.

- For us or Dassaev? - Both.

He reacted the same way I would've.

- Shall we? - Yeah.

Can you hear me?

Sir!

Sir, the patient is reacting.

He's moved his hand. It's a good sign.

Thank you, ma'am. I'm gonna call the embassy.

- I'll tell the doctor. - Thank you.

Yeah. Get me the ambassador. Yeah, I'll wait.
