Mayday, this is the Bárbara de Braganza.
Please, we need help.
There are a lot of sick people on board.
The situation is critical.
We need medical support. It's a matter of life or death. Please.
Eva.
I have the serum.
- Eva. - Please get out of here, Nicolás.
You have a fever.
I know, but you can't be here.
I won't leave you alone.
A lot of people on this ship need you.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
SEVEN DAYS EARLIER BUENOS AIRES, 1948
LOST SOULS EVA VILLANUEVA.
Why don't you get this one?
{n8}I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
{n8}It's the best thing I've read recently.
{n8}And, if you like,
the author can sign it.
How do you know that's me?
{n8}I know a lot of things about you, Miss Villanueva.
{n8}It's an honor to meet you.
{n8}If you don't mind signing it, I'll definitely buy it.
Of course.
Thank you.
{n8}- What's your name? - Graciela.
TO GRACIELA
- Here. - Thank you very much.
{n8}Thank you and thank...
{n8}MEET ME AT 9:00 P.M. AT 31 SAN LORENZO STREET. WE NEED TO TALK.
ANTIQUES FOUNDED IN 1937
{n8}Good evening, miss.
{n8}How may I help?
{n8}Well...
{n8}nothing.
{n8}- I think I'm in the wrong place. - We have everything here.
Right.
{n8}But not what I was after.
{n8}We have more in the back room.
May I?
Go ahead.
{n8}If you're trying to be mysterious, I assure you it's working.
{n8}Which isn't to say that I like it.
{n8}You like it, that's why you came.
I came because of the note.
31 San Lorenzo Street.
That was my address in Spain.
{n8}I told you I know a lot about you.
{n8}Please take a seat.
{n8}Forgive the precautions, but it's best we're not seen together.
{n8}So what else do you know about me?
I know you were born 26 years ago on June 6.
You started talking very early on.
{n8}You were good at drawing and the piano until you discovered literature...
{n8}EPISODE 17: "NEW COURSE"
{n8}...You're brave.
- A little reckless at times... - Who are you?
My name is Fabio, and I think we can use first names.
Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?
I need you to help me arrest a man.
I work for the British intelligence services.
Intelligence services?
A spy?
Something like that.
Well, I'm not sure how I can help you.
I'm going away tomorrow.
I know. On the Bárbara de Braganza, bound for Mexico, to promote your book.
Your sister Carolina and your uncle Pedro will join you.
I see you have all the information you need.
The man I'm after also plans to board the Bárbara de Braganza tomorrow.
That's why I need you.
You know the ship well,
and no one will suspect the shipowner's sister-in-law.
What happened in the bookshop...
Recommending my book to that woman...
It was all planned, wasn't it?
You see? I was right about you.
- You're very intelligent. - Right.
You'll have to find someone else.
The man I'm after has a lethal virus in his possession.
It could kill thousands of innocent people.
Please, Eva.
You're my only option.
Help me stop him from leaving on that ship.
Careful.
Slowly and carefully.
Thank you very much, Pedro.
I don't know how to thank you for all your help.
There's no need to thank me.
My niece has taken care of everything.
Let me introduce you.
Carmen, an old friend.
Carolina, my favorite niece.
It's a pleasure.
He'll say the same when he introduces my sister Eva.
My daughter Diana.
Hello, Diana.
She can't speak.
Her vocal cords are damaged.
You'll be just fine here.
We've reserved a suite for you,
you'll be looked after at all times.
Thank you very much.
Doctor Ayala, he's joining us on this trip.
Yes, welcome.
My uncle told me you were coming.
It's a pleasure.
Introductions complete, all that remains is to board.
Very well, Uncle.
You go ahead.
Well now, yes, let's go.
Let's go, slowly.
Carmen.
- Eva! - Carol!
You had me worried. I thought you were going to miss the boat.
Do you think I'd let you go without me?
You've lost weight.
Do you think?
I don't know. It's been so long since I saw you...
Six months, Carol. It's not that long.
Wow, I see you haven't missed me much.
Come on, silly, of course I've missed you.
Where's Uncle? Is he here yet?
They just boarded.
They? Who's they?
Carmen, an old friend of Uncle's, and her daughter Diana.
She suffered burns in a fire, they're going to Mexico for an operation.
Poor girl.
It's overwhelming to be back, isn't it?
Ready?
Yes, let's go.
{n8}BÁRBARA DE BRAGANZA.
Are you all right?
Of course.
Let's go.
Welcome aboard.
Captain.
Here she is.
I told you she'd make it.
Welcome back aboard, Miss Eva.
The pleasure is ours, Captain.
I'm so glad you're still in command.
Well, the crew is still the same.
Nothing has changed.
See you later, Captain.
Of course.
- Have a good journey. - Thank you.
So how's your new ship?
It's called the Roncesvalles.
But there's not much new about it.
We've had to give it a good coat of paint, but it floats at least.
We loaded last week. Almost 5,000 tons of tin, oak and iron.
- Are you sure it'll float with all that? - I hope so.
Because I've put all my savings into that ship.
It feels like the first time I'm doing something for myself.
Although Fernando has helped me.
And how long before he stops helping?
Eva.
Well, you don't want to discuss that now.
- May I take it for you? - Let go of the case.
Let go. Let go, I'll carry it myself.
- Sorry, sir, it's my job. - I don't care.
I'd rather carry it myself.
Luis, can I have the keys to my sister's cabin please?
Thank you.
Here you go.
I'll come with you.
Eva, the keys.
Yes, sorry.
Shall we go?
RESTAURANT
Who are you looking for?
No one.
Why?
Nicolás is on board.
Are you ready to see him again?
I don't know, I'll tell you when I see him.
Very well.
- I'm going to a meeting. - Right.
Eva...
I don't expect you to agree with my decision to buy a ship,
but your support would be good.
It's not that, Carolina.
But after what happened with you and Fernando...
I made this decision precisely for that reason.
I don't want to rely on him.
So, I need your support.
And you have it.
Of course you do.
See you later.
Nervous?
A little.
I never know where you'll pop up next.
I'll be calmer when you explain what all this is about.
Come with me.
Someone else will explain it better than me.
Miss Villanueva.
Steve Taylor is leading the operation.
Come on in.
Thank you.
Why don't you explain what all this is about?
Our aim is to arrest Friedrich Untermann.
He's an Austrian scientist who developed a very dangerous virus
and escaped with it when the war finished.
He plans to travel on this ship.
If he's here, why don't you just arrest him?
We have no photographs of him.
We don't know what he looks like.
So how will you find him?
We know he's traveling on a French passport.
Not just that.
In recent months, he's traveled to Peru, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
He's moved around a lot.
He knows that we're after him.
The passports are kept in the shipowner's safe
until the ship sets off.
Right, and you want me to open the safe and get the passports?
Do you understand what you're asking of me?
We want to arrest him before the ship sets sail.
We'll go ashore with him and you can continue your journey.
We'll do it quickly.
I haven't agreed to anything yet.
I completely understand your reluctance, miss.
- I appreciate that and I'm sorry... - Eva.
This is what the virus did
to the people that Untermann used as guinea pigs in his experiments.
Unfortunately, there is no known antidote.
Now do you understand why we need you?
There's not long until the ship sets sail.
I'll do what I can to help you.
There's something you should know.
It's very likely that there are others on this ship looking for our man.
Right, and who are they?
We don't know, but we do know they could be dangerous.
Thank you.
You can get up now.
About time.
When will you take this off me?
I can barely breathe.
We'll take it off in good time. And don't ask so many questions.
What matters now is that no one suspects anything.
At an average speed of 25 knots,
the Roncesvalles can reach Recife in five days.
- Do you have authorization from the port? - Confirmed.
We set sail at midnight tonight.
We set sail half an hour earlier.
With good weather and a tailwind. Couldn't be better.
I want contact at all times
between the Roncesvalles and the Bárbara de Braganza.
Radio communication is guaranteed.
They'll travel in our wake.
You've done everything you can.
Now the captains will do their jobs.
- Yes. - Don't worry.
I'll send a telegram when we arrive
to inform you that the cargo has been unloaded.
Thank you, Captain.
We know that we're in good hands.
I won't let you down.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must get ready to depart.
Yes, we're going too. The passengers are boarding already.
- Are you all right, Nicolás? - Yes, I'm fine.
- Thank you. - Good, I'm glad.
Me too.
This time at home has really done me good.
Buenos Aires has restored my will to live.
I'm glad.
It's going to be a great journey.
Of course it is.
If they want breakfast in the cabin,
you must fill out a card like this the night before.
Remember: Our motto is passenger satisfaction.
The cabin allocations are on this blackboard.
There is a reception tonight, all first-class passengers will attend.
We need extra pairs of hands,
so if any of the maids want to volunteer,
just let me know.
Everything okay, Verónica?
I got Carolina's and Eva's cabins.
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Well, it doesn't matter either way, it's no big deal.
As you can imagine, Dimas, I don't want to see them.
Let alone be their maid.
Come on... Neither of them did anything to you.
Quite the opposite, they helped you when your mother died.
I don't want to see them.
I don't know why I came back here.
Did you have any other option?
- Did you? - No, me neither.
- You wanted to start a business last year. - Yes.
That was my plan, but it didn't work. And that's fine. Now we're here.
There's no shame in working here. It's great.
I'll find a better job in Mexico.
I'm not staying here forever.
You can do what you like.
I will. Don't worry, I will.
Where are you going?
Verónica?
Ana.
Would you do me a favor and swap cabins, if you don't mind?
Can we do that?
Why not?
- Careful. - Oops.
I don't want to get into trouble on my first day.
It's okay, I'll ask someone else.
Wait.
I'll swap with you.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I'm sure.
Thanks, I owe you one.
I don't want to cause a problem.
- Really, I'll keep it in my suitcase. - No, no way.
This novel is many months' work.
It could be stolen, burned or who knows what.
- Here. - It'll be safe here.
Rest assured.
Thank you, Fernando.
CABINS 201 TO 250
Got it.
Are you sure you saw the safe combination correctly?
Are you doubting me now?
I thought I was the only one who could help you.
I can remember four letters, really.
So why won't you tell me what they are?
Because you might trust me, but I don't trust you yet.
There's Fernando.
Gentlemen.
He'll be there a while.
Let's go, then.
Eva.
Nicolás.
This is Fabio.
He's... a friend.
Nicolás Vázquez, the ship's first officer.
- Welcome aboard. - Thank you.
By the way,
I'm so glad your novel was such a success.
- I always knew you'd go far. - Thank you.
See you around.
Yes, of course.
Is it just me, or is there some tension between you?
Did they teach you that in the intelligence services too?
Hello.
We leave in a few hours.
I'll be working, but there's a drinks reception in the lounge.
You should go.
There'll be lots of people.
You know I don't like crowds.
Have you seen her?
Eva.
Have you seen her?
Yes.
I just bumped into her.
My love, I've told you many times...
if I'd known you were alive, nothing would've happened with Eva.
I suppose the fact we're together means you still love me.
Of course.
Allow me.
I know these doors well.
{n8}VISAS FIRST-CLASS TICKET.
No, he came to Argentina by boat from Bordeaux.
It can't be this one either. He's been in Argentina 15 years.
Look at this.
Peru, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
Jean-Paul Dubois, trade representative.
I saw this man earlier in reception.
He was arguing with a bellboy. He didn't want his case taken.
He seemed nervous.
What was the case like?
It was a metal case.
You don't see many like that.
He could be our man.
D...
Dubois, cabin 263.
We must search his cabin.
There's not much time.
There's a drinks reception before the ship sets sail.
All the passengers are invited.
He might attend.
Very good.
If he shows up in the lounge...
you both go into his cabin and search for the virus.
I'm going to get changed.
What does he look like?
- Sorry? - Tell me.
What's he like?
Sinister.
- Eva. - Yes?
Where have you been?
I was at reception, I forgot a suitcase.
I know you and something's up.
No, really. I'm fine. I was just going to get changed.
Are you sure you're all right?
Verónica.
- Verónica. - How are you?
I was so glad when Fernando said you'd be working here.
I asked for you to be in charge of our cabins.
Right.
I'm very grateful to Fernando, but I won't be looking after your cabins.
Why not?
Because I think it's better that way.
You need space.
- A bit of distance, right? - Distance?
From us?
We're here if you need anything, Verónica.
Thank you.
Wait, Verónica.
- Can I ask you a favor? - Of course, go ahead.
Are you lost?
Yes, this ship is vast.
Yes, but it's very well signposted.
I got the impression something had caught your eye.
You're mistaken. I was looking for my cabin.
Inspector Varela.
If I can help you with anything...
Pleased to meet you, Doctor Ayala.
I imagine being suspicious of people is an occupational hazard.
Or a sixth sense, and I assure you, it doesn't usually fail me.
I understand.
My father was also a great inspector and he often talked of that sixth sense,
which, like yours, rarely failed him, which means that it wasn't always right.
Perhaps I'm a better inspector than your father.
I highly doubt that.
And now, if you'll excuse me...
LOST SOULS EVA VILLANUEVA.
Can you stop pacing? You're making me nervous.
That's easy for you to say.
You don't have to spend the whole day in bed or sitting down.
Give me that.
Go back to bed. Now.
One moment, please.
Is this a bad time?
No, not at all, you're always welcome.
Please, come in.
Let me introduce you to Verónica. I've asked her to take care of you.
This is Carmen, she shares the room with her daughter Diana.
- It's a pleasure. - Likewise.
I've known Verónica all my life.
We practically grew up together, so there's no one better than her.
Excuse me.
Good afternoon, sorry to disturb you.
This is Fernando, my husband.
- Pleased to meet you. - Likewise.
Carolina, can you come with me?
Of course, let's go.
See you later.
Shall I hang up your clothes?
Please do.
Good afternoon.
She can't talk.
Right.
What do you mean, disappeared? It can't be.
No one's seen him at the hotel or on the ship.
I spoke to the crew of the Roncesvalles.
He said he'd be there at 6:00, but he never came back.
But we can't wait.
They must leave with or without him, we have money at stake.
The ship cannot set sail without a captain.
Nicolás captained this ship on the first voyage.
Nicolás, please.
You know that I'm entirely at your service,
but if you're asking me to captain the Roncesvalles,
I'm afraid I can't.
Being captain is a great opportunity.
You captained this ship and proved yourself ready.
I know what being a captain entails.
But it's not a professional issue.
- It's personal. - You work for us, you'll follow orders.
Natalia, please.
Someone has to make decisions around here, since you are all incapable.
Please, let's calm down, this is a delicate issue.
Nicolás.
If it weren't vital, I wouldn't ask.
But you have to help me, please.
It'll only be one week.
Drop the cargo in Recife and another ship will bring you to us.
- I can't leave my wife alone. - She won't be alone. I promise.
Nicolás, I'll care for her like she was my daughter.
Fine.
Thank you. Really, thank you.
Speak to Marine Operations, get them to send an officer.
Pierre.
I didn't think I'd see you on this ship again.
I took a few months off...
but my work is here.
I hope you've managed to get over everything.
It's not easy to forget.
But time helps to heal wounds.
I'm pleased to see you.
Then I'll come with you.
It's a cargo ship. Passengers aren't allowed.
But it's only for a few days.
You promised to never leave me alone.
My love, I had no choice. It's an emergency.
I've spoken to the captain, he'll take care of you.
And how will he do that?
Will he be here...
when the lights go out and I'm left in the dark?
Or when I can't sleep...
because I know that, any second, they'll take me back to the cellar?
You've been through a lot,
but we'll be together again before you know it.
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
You'll be all right.
Come in.
Excuse me, I'm Ana, the maid who'll be attending to your cabin.
- Here's your dress for the reception. - Thanks.
I was waiting for that.
- Leave it on the bed please. - Of course.
I'll leave it here.
- Are you happy on the ship? - Of course.
Why wouldn't I be?
This is the best job I've ever had.
- Do you need anything else, miss? - No.
That will be all. And please, call me Eva.
Eva.
- See you tomorrow. - See you then.
- I'm sorry. - Nicolás?
Sorry.
- But I had to talk to you. - What about?
I owe you an explanation.
No, you don't owe me anything.
You decided to stay with your wife. That's all.
But I told you I wanted to be with you.
Yes, but that was a long time ago.
Sometimes I feel like it never happened.
When I saw her like that, I couldn't leave.
- Chantal... I couldn't... - Nicolás, honestly,
you don't owe me an explanation.
When we see each other on the ship, let's try to...
be civil.
I won't be here.
Why not?
I've been asked to captain the other ship.
The Roncesvalles.
It's a long story. But that's why I wanted to talk before I left.
I appreciate that.
Have a good journey.
You too.
Don't get in trouble.
You know me. That could be difficult.
Captain, the passengers have almost finished boarding.
Very good.
We'll set sail soon.
Notify the port.
Aye-aye.
Good afternoon.
I'm Héctor Birabent,
the new first officer.
You were due here an hour ago.
I'm sorry, Captain. Marine Operations just called me.
I came as soon as I could.
- Would you like to know my background? - I already know it.
You'll do.
Thank you, it's an honor to serve on the Bárbara de...
Warm up the engines.
Start warming the engines.
Officer.
Have you received the latest weather forecast yet?
- Just now, sir. - Very good.
Take it to the bridge. They're waiting for it.
Aye, aye.
Hurry.
Vessel Baracoa.
Vessel Baracoa receiving.
This is the Bárbara de Braganza.
I'm on board and the plan is in motion.
Thank you.
We're leaving in an hour.
Here's to a calm voyage.
- Let's hope so. - Yes, I hope so.
If you're looking for Nicolás, there's no point.
He's had to leave.
No, I wasn't looking for him.
I mean, I wasn't looking for anyone.
How wonderful that you came in the end.
Thanks to Verónica, the maid looking after Diana.
- Although I can't completely relax. - She'll be well cared for, don't worry.
Besides, you could use a distraction.
Do you know that, despite everything...
I have a feeling that this journey is going to be...
special for the both of you.
- Something to drink? - Champagne would be lovely.
- The same for me. - Let's go.
Captain.
You're in good company.
It's one of the perks of the job.
Let me introduce you to Chantal, Nicolás's wife.
This is Carolina and...
well, Eva.
Pleased to meet you.
Same here.
Welcome aboard.
I'm really sorry that Nicolás has had to leave,
but he's doing us a huge favor.
I understand, don't worry.
Excuse me.
Eva.
Do the honors.
Sir.
Here's something.
It's the case he didn't want them to take.
{n8}FRAGILE.
It has a security lock.
I'd advise against opening that.
Don't move.
You know why we're here and what we're looking for.
Yes.
But be very careful with that case.
Put your hands down slowly and open it yourself.
I need the gloves.
It mustn't be touched directly.
Don't try anything funny.
Don't worry.
I've been after this for a long time,
I'm not going to ruin it now.
What on earth is that?
An Aztec sculpture from the Classic Period.
I estimate it's from the third century AD.
And the virus?
The virus?
What virus?
Aren't you Friedrich Untermann?
Who?
No.
I am Jean-Paul Dubois.
I'm a historian.
Although, I admit that what I do isn't exactly legal.
The whole operation for nothing.
No, I'm sure the virus is on this ship.
And what do we do if it isn't?
The ship is about to set sail.
- You have to decide now. - Trust me.
That man is here. I'm sure of it.
Fine, we'll stay.
I hope your hunch is right.
Our fate is sealed.
Captain, the engines are ready.
Slow ahead.
Have a safe trip, gentlemen.
You said it would be a simple operation.
Sometimes things get complicated.
It's not complicated.
It's terrible.
There are over 1,000 people on this ship.
And we may be traveling with a virus that could kill us all.
