I'm sorry, Carlos,
but you haven't been Eva's father for a while now.
I'll go to the front,
and I'll find her.
I'll bring her back. No matter what.
I don't think you'll get there in time.
Tomorrow, Sofía's squad will be sent into enemy territory.
It will be extremely dangerous.
You know what you have to do if you want to avoid that.
Give me my daughter back, and I'll save Sofía.
You have 24 hours to think about it.
Hatred feeds on the pain people cause one another.
Whether we harm each other physically or emotionally is not relevant.
It gets to you, rotting everything in its path.
You should have seen him. I don't know what we can do.
- Is everything all right? - Yes, come with me.
The ones who stole my camera were not petty thieves.
They were after me and my work.
I was investigating an undercover officer in the Republican faction.
When I developed the picture, it wasn't clear. Then I lightened it...
Look.
Carlos?
Carlos is...
He's a spy!
He's been lying to me all this time.
Fucking coward.
He's infiltrated the other side.
Was he your contact?
He fooled me.
He offered to be my informer just to keep me under his control.
And I fell into his trap...
...like an asshole.
We can use this to make him bring Sofía back.
I won't let him use Eva to blackmail me.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
But these pictures must be published.
Everyone must know what is happening here.
We won't have anything to pressure Carlos without the pictures.
He's going to send Sofía on a mission tomorrow. I must stop him.
I've been working on this article for weeks.
- Sofía's life is at stake. - Where are the negatives?
Soldiers, seize all photographic material. Are you Mr. James Lancaster?
You can't do this. I'm an American citizen.
- Search every corner! - He's from the international press.
All his permissions are in order.
Mr. Lancaster, you're under arrest on charges of treason.
What?
I'm innocent.
Wait, please.
- We need to talk to him! - Wait!
- You have no right. - Tell us where you're taking him!
Without the pictures, we have nothing.
We have to find those negatives.
Before Carlos does.
Pablo.
- Did you find what you were looking for? - James has been arrested.
We think it was Carlos.
There is no record of him being sent to any prison.
CHAPTER 34: HATE
It's like nothing happened, as if he doesn't exist.
It sounds like he's been sent to a cheka.
- Sent where? - To a cheka.
It's a clandestine prison. Well, an illegal prison.
I didn't think they were operational, but it seems they're using them again.
- And could James be in there? - I hope not.
Prisoners are abused and tortured there, and God knows what else.
I don't want to be gloomy, but if he's in there,
- he might never come out. - But we can find out which cheka he's in.
Victoria.
If someone knows about lawlessness, it's her.
Thank you. I'll take over now.
I thought you wouldn't come.
But you've got some balls.
I'll ask a doctor to see you as soon as possible.
But before that...
The negatives, James.
I need those negatives. Where are they?
We both know that even if I told you,
you would never let me out of here.
No.
- You have my word. - The word of a spy.
Of a traitor.
That depends on which side you're on.
There are no sides.
There's only one.
The other one, fascism,
is hell.
Those pictures will be published.
And you'll be executed for it,
no matter how handsome you are in them.
You're not getting out of here until you talk.
Keep doing what you were doing, please.
Oh, fuck me.
I heard the Bellas Artes cheka is still running,
and there must be others, but that's all I can tell you.
Can you find out where the others are?
Not without putting myself at risk, dear, but...
I know who can help us.
He works for the police and has good contacts.
Who is it?
He's an old friend.
Cristóbal Cuevas.
Cuevas?
- So he did get his badge back? - Yes, he's still an officer,
but he's not the same person anymore.
Time has not treated him as well as it has treated you.
I'll give you his new address.
He'll tell you if your friend is in a cheka or not.
He would do anything for Ángeles' daughter.
- Isidro, I was looking for you. - And I was looking for you.
I...
I have what you wanted for your neighbors.
Here you are.
Take it.
Thank you. It's just that...
they've been robbed three times and...
Three times? You told me it was the first time.
Are you sure it's for your neighbors?
Yes.
Hey.
You haven't told me yet how you'll avoid leaving for the front.
I hope you're not thinking... Tsk.
- Give me that! I can see it coming. - No.
- Give it back! - Isidro, please, listen to me.
I promise you I'll give it back.
I know what I'm doing, but you have to trust me.
Hey, hey, hey.
Don't say anything to Marga.
- I can't trust you, Pablo. - Please! Please!
You're a good friend.
- See you later, Pedro. - Bye.
So, you girls go and see Cuevas,
and you and I go to the hotel to talk to James' contact.
- Yes, that's right. - Marga! Marga.
- Isidro. - Thank God I found you.
What are you doing here?
Pablo couldn't get out of joining the army.
I did everything I could, really.
That cannot be.
I'm afraid it can, and I'm sorry to say he already knows how to get out of it.
He fooled me. He told me some neighbors needed a pistol,
and when I gave it to him, I realized it was for him.
What is he going to do with that?
Cripples are among the few who get out of it.
- Oh, my God. - This knucklehead will do anything stupid
- to avoid the war. - I have to go.
- Yes, go home. - Run, run.
Pablo! Look there.
Pablo?
He locked himself in the bathroom.
Pablo!
Pablo, are you okay?
Pablo, please, talk to me.
Isidro told me everything.
Come out right now and stay away from that pistol.
Marga, I'm not going to the front.
I'm not a soldier. I'm not good at it.
I don't know how to use a weapon. I'm not an officer.
Are you listening, Marga? I won't let them draw us apart!
Pablo, no one will draw us apart, honey. Really, I promise you that.
We'll do anything so you don't go, but please put the pistol down.
No, I'm going to shoot myself in the leg right now. Fuck the war!
- Fuck everything! - Listen to me, honey, please.
- Isidro got the number of a doctor. - Dr. Garrido, Pablo.
We can go see him. We'll pay him if necessary, but please,
don't harm yourself because it would kill me.
Pablo.
Pablo!
- Open the door! - Pablo, open the door!
Pablo!
It fired itself.
Pablo, honey.
Everything will be okay.
Okay?
We're going to find a solution to this.
He might be out.
Cristóbal.
Victoria gave us your address. Can we come in?
Actually, it's not a good time.
This is important.
It's about Sofía, Ángeles' daughter.
Wasn't Sofía living with you in New York?
Yes, she was, but she ran away from home and came back to Spain
- to fight in the war. - Why did she do such a thing?
She's not easy to deal with.
She's very mature for her age.
Very much like her mother.
She has her strength, her intelligence...
Sometimes I look at her and I can see Ángeles in her.
But she misses Spain. Her mother's death was a terrible blow.
It was for all of us.
We know Sofía joined the militias in the Madrid front.
She will be sent into enemy territory if we don't bring her back first.
You're the only person who can help us, Cristóbal.
- It's very risky... - What do I have to do?
We need to find some negatives.
Welcome, militiamen. You can get down.
Help them.
How can they leave them lying there?
They don't. They take them back to Madrid.
They're war heroes.
And fathers, mothers and sons who died.
Troops, fall in!
What are you doing here?
What are you hiding there?
Are you stealing medicine?
You know stealing medicine from the army is a crime? Did you know that?
She was obeying my orders, Captain.
I told her to take it discreetly. It's for a prisoner.
It's very important, and we need to keep him alive.
All right.
But next time you need anything from the infirmary,
- ask me first. - Yes, sir.
What were you doing?
When I arrived, I realized I had lost my pills for my heart condition.
Wouldn't it be better to go back to your family?
I'm here to fight for my ideals, same as you. I won't leave until I do.
God!
Tomorrow we march for the front.
I need a strong team by my side or we won't survive.
Thank you for covering for me.
Your friend is being held in the Bellas Artes cheka.
Carlos gave orders to pressure him to get information from him.
Carlos is trying too hard to get his hands on those negatives.
Could there be a way to talk to James?
To get to him, we need an authorization signed by Carlos.
- I know his signature. I can forge it. - Well, it's not that easy.
He must verify every authorization himself with a call to his office at Headquarters.
He thought of everything.
No.
Not everything.
Cristóbal,
you can go and see James with a forged authorization.
When they call to verify it,
I'll be with Carlos to prevent him from picking up the phone.
How?
By giving him what he wants the most.
I must go to Pablo. See you later at the Company.
Of course.
Okay. I'll do it.
- I think we're making a mistake, really. - Pablo, we talked about this.
I don't like that you have to sell your grandmother's jewelry.
I don't care about the jewelry! I just want us to be together.
- Put on your jacket. He's a doctor. - Yes.
Come in.
- Hello, Doctor. - Hello.
Have a seat, please.
Well, how can I help you?
Well, Doctor, um...
The thing is a few years ago, I had an accident.
It was pretty serious.
So much so that I was almost left with a limp.
Right. I see you're not using crutches.
Have you noticed any discomfort since then?
- No. No, no. - The thing is, Doctor,
my husband has been called up.
Mmm-hmm.
We thought you could sign a medical certificate,
so he doesn't...
If your husband was called up, his duty is to do as he is told.
I've seen people in worse conditions than you depart for the front. Willingly.
They lacked good health, but do you know what they did not lack?
Bravery.
Courage.
Ideals.
Well, Doctor,
we know it's not the first time you've done this.
This is my grandmother's jewelry. It's worth good money. Take it.
If you want more money, I'll get it.
So you're willing to do anything?
Look, I'm tired of this war as well. I too want it to end as soon as possible.
For better or worse, it's only a question of time before nationalists enter Madrid.
In the meantime, we can do some things from the inside
to end this nightmare once and for all.
- Ration books? - These ones are fake.
We're handing them out to people.
This way, the daily food rations will run out earlier.
But...
Excuse me, Doctor, but that is outrageous.
You're deceiving people. Many families will have no food to eat.
What is that? A drop of water in a sea of suffering.
It's for the greater good.
When food runs out, when people really start being hungry,
they will protest and demand the end of the war.
I see.
And you want us to help you hand out these fake ration books to people?
Yes. That way you'll be helping to bring this nonsense to an end.
Of course, I would be prepared to return the favor.
What do you say?
Can I count on you?
I'm here to see Colonel Cifuentes.
Tell him the mother of his child accepted his offer.
Captain Cuevas.
I have an authorization from Colonel Cifuentes
to talk to the prisoner James Lancaster.
I'm glad you came to your senses.
I want to be sure Eva will be all right with you.
I'd like you two to talk on the phone.
As many times as necessary.
You have to rebuild your relationship with her.
You're almost a stranger to her now.
Everything seems to be in order, but I need to confirm it.
Do it then.
- If you find this unreasonable... - No, it's all right.
I imagined you would ask for something in return.
Operator, put me through to Headquarters.
- Are you sure? - We'll talk as many times as necessary.
Operator, can you try again?
Is there a problem?
I'm sorry. I cannot make contact and...
I don't have much time, and it's vital that I talk to him.
- But Colonel Cifuentes... - You saw the authorization.
You said everything was in order.
Look, the prisoner is an American citizen.
If I don't talk to him, we could cause an international conflict.
Are you prepared to take responsibility for that?
- What about Sofía? - I'll bring her back after the first call.
When would you like to start?
Marga will arrange a long-distance call to New York today.
- I have to make a few calls. - Carlos, there's no time.
Sofía's life is at stake.
I want you to let her go now.
Who are you?
That doesn't matter.
Faraday sent me.
Faraday and her friends.
I'm here to help you.
But first I need to know where the negatives are.
Please go.
Those negatives are our only weapon against Colonel Cifuentes.
It's your freedom in exchange for our silence.
You won't get an opportunity like this again.
Why does this world wanna break me?
How...
How do I know Colonel Cifuentes didn't send you to make me talk?
Carlota said you are not interested in fashion.
Or in fashionable manners.
And she was right.
Do you think James will trust him?
If Cuevas does exactly as I said, he will know it's us.
How did it go? Did you see him?
Your friend didn't have a great night, that's for sure.
But he told me the negatives are in the Pacífico Hotel's basement.
So let's go find them, and we can carry on with Lidia's plan.
Marga! Marga, no, no.
We cannot hand these out.
I'm sure that guy is with the enemy. He just wants the government to fall.
No, he just wants to end this war once and for all, the same as I do.
- Now you're siding with him? - Pablo, listen to me.
I'm not siding with anyone, but this war has stolen three years of our lives,
and I won't allow it to steal the person I love the most, too, okay?
Marga, look at these people.
They're starving.
People are suffering. There is no need for us to make things worse for them.
Pablo, I don't want to do this.
But I don't want to lose you either.
There's one thing the doctor said that is true.
I don't have any courage. Going to the front terrifies me.
How can it not, honey?
It's a war.
If people like Sofía are enlisting, why shouldn't I?
If you deliver this and I don't go, we would never forgive ourselves.
That day, Marga and Pablo made a choice
that would change their lives forever.
But that gesture was proof that hatred may have taken Carlos' will,
but it hadn't overcome us all yet.
We still had integrity and honesty.
And we clung to that to avoid falling into the jaws of hatred of our enemies.
The girls are on their way.
The press room is empty right now. I'll connect you to New York myself.
Thank you for your help.
Talking with my daughter is very important to me.
Don't get me wrong. Eva deserves better than a father like you.
We're doing this for Sofía because we have no other choice.
Come on.
I'll ask them to put the call through.
I would be nervous, too.
She doesn't hate you.
She just doesn't know you.
You can come in now.
Number four.
Hello? Francisco?
Lidia, honey, how are you? Have you found Sofía?
Not yet.
Things got a bit complicated.
Why? What happened?
Nothing. Nothing happened. Put Eva on the phone, please.
Lidia, you sound weird. What is going on?
Nothing is going on, Francisco. It's...
I can't talk right now.
Carlos is next to me.
Our Carlos?
Yes, our Carlos.
He wants to talk to Eva.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
After all this time.
He's her father. He has the right to do so.
What should I tell her? Her father wants to talk to her?
Or a stranger who has ignored her for eight years?
Francisco, put her on the phone, please. Trust me.
I hope you know what you're doing.
Eva, honey! Get on the phone.
- It's Mom. - Hi, Mom!
- Hello, sweetheart. How are you? - Fine. When are you coming back?
Soon. I'll be there in no time.
- I miss you. - I miss you, too. A lot.
Eva...
A friend is here with me. He has known you for a long time and wants to say hi.
I'll put him on the phone.
Okay, Mom.
Hello?
Mom?
Hello?
We have the pictures.
- What are you doing? - We found the negatives.
We have the pictures that prove you're a traitor.
Well done, Lidia. You fooled me.
Now, I'll personally make sure that you never see Sofía again.
You can't do that.
If you don't bring Sofía back, we'll publish them.
That's a warning.
- You don't know who you're dealing with. - Yes, we do, Carlos.
Bring Sofía back...
and the negatives are yours.
Carlos,
I'm offering you a deal.
Considering the times we're living in,
you should seriously consider it.
Bring Sofía back and the negatives will be yours.
Sierra, Oscar, Foxtrot, India, Alpha.
I repeat the name: Sofía Pérez Vidal. Those are your orders, Captain.
The militiawoman should leave the front and come back to Madrid immediately.
Have you found her yet?
Yes, Colonel. They went to get her.
Militiawoman Pérez Vidal, Captain.
Militiawoman, get on the radio. Colonel Cifuentes wants to talk to you.
Yes, Captain.
Yes, Colonel?
Militiawoman, I gave order that you leave the front and return to Madrid.
Sir, with all due respect, we need reinforcements. I think my place is here.
I understand your motives, but you should listen to someone here.
Sofía! Sofía, can you hear me?
Lidia?
Yes, it's me. We're all here.
- Sofía! - Sofía, how are you?
Sofía, are you okay?
I'm fine. You have nothing to worry about.
You're not fine. You lost your medication.
You have to come back.
Lidia, I got some other pills. You shouldn't have called.
How couldn't I?
You're like a daughter to me. You know that, right?
And you are like a mother to me, but...
What is that?
- Sofía! - Sofía?
What is going on?
- Sofía, answer me! - Are those shots?
This is all your fault.
You have put Sofía's life at risk.
I'm going to hand over the negatives to the authorities and you'll be executed.
Do you hear me? You'll be shot!
I'll go to the front and find out what happened,
but don't even think about handing over those negatives.
I don't trust you. I'm coming with you.
Lidia, don't.
- Lidia. - Lidia, what are you talking about?
I never thought I could hate Carlos,
but while I was getting in that car,
I could only feel resentful about everything he had done.
I was going far away from Madrid with a person who was now my enemy.
And Pablo was leaving, too, to fight on the front line, perhaps never to return.
For all that, there was only one thing to blame: hatred.
The same hatred that caused our country to be broken in half for years.
An absurd, unjustified hatred that divided families
who had always been happy.
Come on. We have to go. The truck just arrived.
The only thing we could do was hope.
Hope for the war to not take more than it already had.
The hatred among our people had brought a lot of pain.
Private Santos,
your mission in this war is to come back home as soon as possible.
Is that clear?
But when you live surrounded by hatred,
you learn to be stronger and braver than you ever imagined you could be.
I will be waiting for you.
Get on the truck!
I love you.
Hatred has no cure.
I love you.
But there is something that can fight it.
Love.
The kind of love that resists adversity,
that resists any twist of fate,
any misfortune.
Because pure, true love...
cannot be destroyed by anything or anyone.
DANGER - THE FRONT ENTERING UNSAFE
Not even by your worst enemy or the bloodiest war.
