High Seas (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Los anillos - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

They'd ordered to hoist the boats
when they saw something floating.

I don't want anyone on deck,
except the crew.

All right.

It was floating half a mile from the ship.

Luisa was wearing this. I'm sure.

Now we're sure she's the one who fell.

Or who was pushed. There's no doubt.

You all saw the state the cabin was in.

You haven't found her body yet?

It could take days for the body
to resurface.



Sea currents usually drag them miles away.

A search would be pointless.

She should've never come on board.

It was incredibly irresponsible of you.

I was the one who wanted to help her.

- Eva.
- Fernando is right.

That woman was scared,
she asked for our help.

So why didn't you go to the police?

She didn't want to.

Can you trust someone
who doesn't want the police involved?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

Not everyone trusts the police these days.

You of all people should not discuss this.

With all due respect,
I don't think this is fair.



Let's not waste any more time.

If there has been a murder,
we must find the assassin immediately.

We'll find him before getting to port.

Before we make it to port?

I don't want you to go to bed
before you find whoever is responsible.

Do you understand?

Varela, I need absolute discretion
when it comes to first class passengers.

Understood?

Don't worry, Mr. Fábregas.

I think we should focus our attention
on the lower deck.

Manuel Salgado. Cabin...

422.

Why are you going to Brazil?

To make a living.

Is that a crime?

What about you?

Dimas Gómez, sir.

You travel as Mr. De la Cuesta's servant.

Exactly.

Are you also asking for papers
in first class?

Silence.

Pay attention for a second.

Do you recognize this dress?

It belonged to a young lady
that was wandering this area.

She was traveling as a stowaway.

Did anyone speak to her?

Did anyone see her speaking to anybody?

THE RINGS

No one's seen her.

From now on, free access to the ship
is restricted!

Let me through!

Open up!

I had someone change the lock
and clean up the mess.

Thank you.

- Fernando.
- Not now, Carolina.

It's late. We should get some rest.

Of course.

Good night.

Fernando, you're not wearing the badge.

Don't tell me you lost it.

No, my love. Of course I didn't lose it.

I know how important it is to you.

That's why I put it in the safe.

Why don't you change your clothes
and go to bed?

Yes, in a moment.

Carolina, why did you leave
the dining room before Luisa fell?

I had to change my shoes.

But then I ran into Verónica, and she
told me what happened to Francisca.

So I came downstairs.

What about Fernando? Where did he go?
I saw him leave.

He went to collect a cable from Rio.

Why do you ask?

No reason. I just wish someone else
had seen something.

Go to bed, Eva.

Can I help you?

Yes, I wanted to know if you got
a cable from Rio last night. Around 12.

Of course. What's your name?

It wasn't addressed to me.

Then I can't tell you, miss.
That information is confidential.

I just want to know if you received it.
I don't need to know what it said.

I'm sorry. I'm not authorized
to share that information.

Right. Thank you anyway.

Are you okay? Is anything wrong?

I just wanted some sleeping pills.

Francisca keeps them in her cabin.

Third class cabins are on the other end.

I have a bad sense of direction.

You can find signposts on every floor.

I'm so silly.

You've come to the right place, anyway.

- I can come with you.
- No.

It's not necessary. But thank you.

Don't thank me, miss.

You're calling me "miss" again.

Don't worry, Eva. We'll find the murderer.

- People are worried.
- Right.

Holding third class passengers
below deck doesn't help.

The truth is that no one has
the slightest idea what happened.

People will speculate, of course.

We've told the passengers that
what happened last night was an accident.

That girl's death will be
a mere accident, then.

Eva.

It's in the company's best interests.

It's clear that whoever killed that girl
was after her.

Causing alarm is pointless.

There's a murderer on board.

She was telling the truth. Someone
threatened to kill her and did it.

We'll find him, trust me.

The detective has been working all night.
We'll know soon.

Don't take her seriously,
she just wants to help.

If she wants to help,
she should mind her own business.

I'm sorry, my love.

I'm not myself.

- You don't have to apologize.
- Yes, I do.

I feel I'm not taking care of you properly
since we got on board.

I knew you had a lot of responsibilities
since I first met you.

So I can't complain, Fernando.

I have a lot at stake on this journey,
Carolina.

But everything will be okay.

I trust you.

And I love you.

I love you too.

We'll be so happy when we get to Brazil.

I have to go take care of some things.

Of course.

Thank you.

If you'll excuse me.

Congratulations on the show.

Actually, it was my idea for you
to perform. People needed to relax.

Thank you.

Aníbal de Souza.

You sing with a lot of personality.

You'll get far, I can assure you.

It's a complicated world.

I know. I am involved with several
kinds of business.

That's why I have many contacts.

From Rio to New York.

In fact, one of my associates
owns a concert hall in Rio.

He's looking for a singer.
Would you be interested in that?

I really appreciate it.

It's a good opportunity.

I can assure you. Far better
than performing on this ship.

Think about it.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

I startled you last night. We're even.

I hope you got some sleep.
Even without those pills.

Yes, I was really tired.
It was just a matter of time.

Last night there were no cables.

You went to Telecommunications,
asking about a telegram.

I thought your job was helping
the captain, not spying on the passengers.

I wouldn't have asked
if you weren't such a bad liar.

What's wrong?

Come.

Last night, Fernando left the dining room
before Luisa fell.

Do you think it was him?

He said he was expecting a cable from Rio.

I accused him of something before,
and I was wrong.

What happened?

Someone told me he had
gambling problems, and it was a lie.

Don't you think it's excessive to suspect
someone just because of a telegram?

Is there something else?

I found it last night.

In the exact spot Luisa fell from.
It belongs to Fernando.

My sister gave it to him.

He was right there, looking for something.

What's going on?

Come with me. Something's happened.

They were forced open.

Is there anything missing?

Honestly, no. But I don't know.
There are so many things.

They are all personal belongings.

- I don't know what they wanted here.
- I don't either.

All I know is that they won't take
the few things my mother left me.

Did anyone in the hotel or the harbor
have access to this?

We had our suitcases with us.

But anyone could've had access
to the trunks.

Why?

Maybe someone put something inside
and they wanted to get it back.

It's easy to access the hold
from the third class deck.

There are valuables here. Big temptation
for someone used to stealing.

Last night someone searched the ladies'
cabin. Now their trunks.

Maybe last night was a coincidence,
but not this.

It's a mistake to think it's just a thief.

Thank you for your hypothesis,
but I'm the detective in charge.

Don't take offense, Varela.

He's right.

Someone's searching my nieces' belongings,
looking for something.

And yes, we are lacking security.

Security, Varela.
Does the word mean anything to you?

I want the crew's cabins searched too.
Third class and crew.

Maybe we should search first class too.

Don't you even think about it!

Darling, why don't you let me
deal with the investigation?

It's my job. I can assure you
I know how to do this.

With all due respect,
as this ship's First Officer...

You've already expressed your opinion.

If there's a problem,
I'll tell the captain myself.

Fix your tie, please.

Stop playing detective.

Varela is taking care of it.

So you agree it couldn't have been
anyone in the upper deck?

It's not that.

This is an important voyage for everyone.

It's our chance to get things
back to normal

after so many years at war.

Right.

I don't know.

I don't think it'd be absurd to postpone
that normality because of a tragedy.

Let me explain. Look.

Few things have caused me joy
since Carmen passed away.

I was really close to ending
my own life, you know that.

But when the possibility of being captain
of a ship like this came up,

I found new joy.

Do you understand?

I don't want this voyage to go wrong.

It's the worst thing that could happen.

Understood, captain.

I'll do my best
to make this voyage a success.

What I wanted to hear.

Last night there was no cable from Rio.

Excuse me?

Fernando's lying.

You think Fernando's involved?

- I didn't say that.
- Then what?

Luisa stole the cabin's key.

Someone saw her, and pushed her.

So what?

Did you consider

that he didn't tell you anything
because they can't tell just anyone?

Come in.

Fernando, I have to talk to you.

What is it?

Where was it?

I found it last night
in the same spot where Luisa fell from.

- Can you explain this?
- Just a moment.

I was robbed.

What?

I told you I put it here.

They didn't just take the badge,
but the rings too.

What rings? The wedding rings?

Yes, the wedding rings.
How could this happen?

I'll talk to that useless Varela.

Honey.

What did the cable say?

What are you asking me, Carolina?

What did...?

No, no, no. What are you really asking?

There was no cable from Rio.

No, we didn't receive it last night.

I got it this morning.

- Here it is! Want to read it?
- It's not necessary.

It's not? What about you?

Do you want to read it?
Since you're so curious.

Read it!

Stop it, Fernando.

You've accused me before.
I didn't hold it against you.

I thought it was just that time.

Do you suspect anything else of me?

- No.
- No?

Let's go, Eva.

Why are you doing this?

Tell me.

- What do you have against him?
- Nothing.

It's not the first time you've done this.

And you were wrong that time too.

I've already apologized for that.

But you're doing it again.

He's a good man, Eva.

He was there for us when Dad died.

To support us with everything.

I know.

And I appreciate it.

You don't seem to.

He's a responsible man.

He works hard, and he loves me.

What's...?

What's the problem?

Is it the wedding?

Of course not, Carol.

Eva.

If you're afraid
that could push us apart...

Carol. I just want what's best for you.

Then you should leave the fantasies
to your books.

Forget about her.

Why?

What she's looking for is upstairs.

Look, Manuel, mind your own business.
Why are you going to Brazil?

You don't have money, or a job.

Don't worry about me.
I know how to make a living.

Sure you will.

Attention, please.

Mr. De la Cuesta's service man?

It's me!

Get me out of here, man.

This lady and I
are Mr. De la Cuesta's servants.

That's right.

Come with me.

That asshole.

Well, thanks for getting me out of there.

I'm sure your mother's wondering
where you are.

She is.

She'll tell me off when she finds me,
as usual.

She always does, no matter what I do.

At least you're together, miss.
You're lucky for that.

I'm know what I'm talking about.
I never...

met my mother.

I was raised in an orphanage,
I don't know my mother or father.

I'm not telling you this so you pity me.
I just wanted to share it with you.

All things considered, I'm a lucky guy.
I'm healthy, I have a job,

and a dream.

A dream?

Yes, a dream. A business idea
that could make me rich.

What's this business about?

I'll tell you if you promise
you won't tell anyone.

In Brazil, there's more sugar cane
than anywhere in the world.

I thought that I could build a factory
that transforms ethanol into fuel.

What's wrong with oil?

Nothing. But ethanol is cheaper.

All I need is an investor.
I'll ask my boss.

You think he'll say yes?

Why not? It's a good business idea.

Miss, don't you want to thrive?
To have a different life?

Aren't you tired of being a servant?

I am, Dimas. But wanting it
doesn't mean I can do it.

Look at the horizon, miss.

What do you see?

Nothing.

I see America, miss.
The land of opportunity.

Dimas!

Dimas, Dimas, Dimas.

Stop talking so much.

It's time to open our minds.

You want to read,
and you need your glasses.

Give me a second. I'll go straight away.

Yes, say goodbye.

Miss, I have to run to the cabin.

My master wants to read,
and he needs his glasses.

I'll stay here.

Of course. I wasn't suggesting
you should come with me.

Would you like to have dinner with me?

Maybe.

Maybe. That means yes.

At eight at the bar. Is that okay?

Dimas!

See you at eight.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

How's your mother?

Better. Much better. Thank you.

I'm so glad.

I was going to the library.
Would you like to join me?

They'll let you in, if I'm there.

I'd love to.

Is that so?

But I've just finished my book.

You don't say.
I'm sure you'll find another one.

Any recommendations?

Of course.

Madame Bovary. Have you read it?

No.

I think you'll like it.
It's about a non-conformist woman

who fights against the rules
and prejudices of her time.

It's a contemporary topic
and she reminds me of you.

An opportunity like this comes
once in a lifetime.

What's the problem?

There's no problem.
But I've made a fool of myself.

Want me to talk to him?

I'll tell him I'm your manager.

All the big artists have a manager.

Okay?

I'll talk to him and tell him
you're interested.

Everything will be all right.

You'll be a great artist.

And I...

I will be a very proud husband.

You're my boyfriend, not my husband.

Your boyfriend?

For now, right?

Or now that you're going to be famous
you won't marry me?

Did the stroll do you good?

Don't be mad, Manuel.
The poor girl needed some fresh air.

Sure. You didn't do it
because you're interested in her.

Don't worry, I get it. I'd do the same.

But I'm telling you,
she doesn't like you.

- Maybe not, but you know what happened?
- What?

Well, I, Dimas,
will have dinner with her tonight.

- Are you serious?
- I am.

So you're hot-blooded, after all.

Did you ever doubt that? Did you?

Expecting someone?

No.

Get out of here, please.

Why?

I have to talk to your friend
for a moment.

Fine.

Go take a walk.
I don't want to see you around.

Recognize anything?

These earrings belong to my fiancée.

They found all this in his cabin.

Where did you find this?

You have something to say, right?

Why did you break into the ladies' cabin?

Because I know it's the best cabin
in this ship.

I've been wanting to do it for weeks.

I thought I could use what I stole
to start a new life in Brazil.

Did you open the trunk in the hold too?

Yes.

No one was looking,
so I took the opportunity.

Did you take anything?

Not from the trunks.

And I couldn't search the cabin
because that girl walked in.

I caught her from behind, I covered
her mouth so she wouldn't scream.

I didn't want to.

I'm not a killer.

No one is.

Until they kill someone.

She fought me.

She was really strong.

She hit me in the stomach.

I asked her to calm down.
I told her I wasn't going to hurt her.

But she began to scream.

What did you do afterwards?

I made sure no one was on deck, and...

And...

You threw her.

Was she dead?

Excuse me?

Was she already dead?

Yes.

Yes, she was already dead.

Are you absolutely sure?

Nicolás.

I'm sorry, captain.

Honestly, I don't see
why that would be relevant.

The thing is that we found
the one responsible.

The detective was right.

An ordinary thief.

Did you hear? They've arrested a man.

He confessed to killing Luisa.

Yes, of course I've heard.

Carol.

I'm sorry.

You should be apologizing to Fernando.

You were so unfair to him.

I know. I intend to do it.

Well...

The sooner, the better.

He's my future husband, Eva.

And you're my sister.

You're the two people I love the most.

What are you doing?

- Who do you love more?
- Fernando!

What do you mean, Fernando?

Stop it, Eva!

He really confessed?

Yes, he did.

What is it? Are you having doubts?

Did you hear her screaming?

Yes, of course I did. So did you.

That man confessed to killing her
in the cabin.

Then it would have been impossible
for her to scream.

Can I come in?

Of course.

Let me help you.

I owe you an apology, Fernando.
I shouldn't have doubted you.

I'm really sorry.

Here. Give these to your sister.

We didn't notice they were missing.

It's normal. You've been nervous.

We still have two weeks left,
and I would like to enjoy them.

We have a wedding coming.
Everything must be perfect.

For starters, we need rings.

I have prepared a few surprises
for Carolina, but I'll need your help.

Are you willing to help me?

Excuse me?

Will you help me with the wedding?

Yes. The wedding, of course.
You can count on me for whatever you need.

I have to go now.

I also have to get ready.

Eva.

What?

I'm happy we've cleared things up.

Me too.

Laundry Service.

Excuse me, sir.

Sir?

Dimas, what would I do without you?
Remind me to raise your salary.

Raise my salary, sir.

You're so funny.

Do you want me to open the bottle?

Yes. We shouldn't allow it to get warm,
it'll get spoiled.

Can I tell you about something
I've been wanting to do?

Go ahead.

It's a business idea.

It's hard to explain, but basically

it's about a way to turn sugar
into ethanol

and use it as fuel.

Since I need a little investment
to start the whole process,

I thought you might be interested.

Yes, it's really interesting, Dimas.
You're full of surprises.

Let's do something.
Tell me about it tomorrow.

We'll discuss it.

- I can understand. You're busy.
- Yes.

Should I open it, or wait for the lady?

No, don't wait. Life is wasted in waiting.

The lady is on deck.

The bottle was so cold
it froze you right there?

Sorry.

- Thank you.
- Yes.

To us.

To us both.

- Cheers.
- Go now.

Of course. If there's anything you need,
you know where to find me.

Thank you, Dimas.

They're opening the doors!

Come on.

Sir, is the access open again?

It seems so.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go.

Excuse me.

Dimas, did you hear?

No. About what?

Manuel has been arrested.
They're saying he killed her.

Thank you, José.

Can I come in?

You didn't come to visit me, did you?

Yes.

Well, no.

Yes or no?

Fernando is lying.
He didn't receive any cables from Rio.

I see you can't let things be either.

I can't. Especially in a case like this.
Can you?

No.

These are the young man's things.

- What do you expect to find?
- I don't know.

What if he's telling the truth?
He was stealing, and he killed Luisa.

If that's what you think,
what are you doing here, with his stuff?

It's a Bible.

It's pretty worn-out.

What do you mean?

He reads it.

We have to talk to him. Alone.

We? I will.

No, I'm coming too.
I want to hear what he has to say.

Do you want to get me in trouble?

We'll both get in trouble.

We don't have much time.

Did he see us?

I don't think so.

What is it?

Nothing.

Were you staring at me?

No, no.

Well, I was.

You have a button open.
It made me a little nervous.

I'll be very honest with you, Clara.

Your voice is one in a million.

But that's not all it takes.

I've met many artists
that could sing like angels

and yet, they didn't make it,
because they lacked something.

What is it?

Something that you have.

You turn into someone else on stage.

People are mesmerized by you. It's like
they saw something for the first time.

And that's priceless.

Thank you.

I don't know...

I think you do know.

I can tell you enjoy being on stage.

You're flying up there.

Yes.

I don't feel like the same person
once the music starts.

See?

Only a few feel that. You're one of them.

Now we just have to decide
on the next step for your career.

What would you think about performing
in the best concert hall in Rio?

Really?

I always play to win, Clara.

Thank you so much for everything.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to rehearse.

Yes.

You didn't give me an answer.

Yes, of course. I'd like that very much.

That's what I wanted to hear.

We should do something to your hair.

Much better. Don't you think?

I don't want to keep them waiting.

You're a beautiful woman, Clara.

Let me go, please.

I thought you wanted to make
your dreams come true.

I do, but not like this.

I'm sorry if I gave you
the wrong impression, but...

Please! Let me go! Let me go!

What do you want?

To talk to you.

I've already said everything
I have to say.

- I don't have anything more to tell you.
- Where are you from?

Cantaloa, sir.

What does your family do?

My father works in the fields.
My mother works at a hotel.

I saw you have a Bible.

My mother gave it to me.

I enjoy reading it.

Sweet Virgin Mary.

What would his parents think
of what he's done?

Why Brazil?

To make a living.

There's no work in my village,
so the young people have all left.

You wanted to make a living
out of stealing?

That woman screamed before she fell.

We both heard it.

- She wasn't already dead, like you said.
- You didn't kill that woman, Manuel.

You weren't even in that cabin.

- I killed her. I've told you already.
- Are you stupid?

Don't you see that when we get to port,
they'll condemn you to death?

I don't know what they've promised
but no one can get you out of this.

Your parents don't deserve this.

You can't let them think
their son is a murderer.

My parents don't have to know about this.

They will.

And everyone will know what you did.

But there's time still.
You just have to tell the truth.

- Did you kill that woman?
- No.

No, I didn't kill her.

Who asked you to take the blame?

I can't tell you.

If I did, they would kill me.

I was robbed.

Someone opened the safe.

They didn't just take the badge,
but the rings too.
