A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
NAPLES, 1961
CONGRATULATIONS WISHING YOU HAPPINESS
Tina! What are you doing? You can't touch it.
You have to wait.
Go on.
Ah! The prettiest and the greatest.
- Huh? - Where's my mom?
We're going to have a dance later. Remember? You promised.
- There she is! - Hache!
Go on.
Serena didn't let me eat any cake.
Congratulations!
Long live the bride and groom!
Congratulations!
- What took you? - Don't ask.
- Huh? - Piero made us go for a stroll.
He was restless.
Anyway…
- Oh, I'm dying of thirst! - You look amazing.
Bambino!
Kiss the bride!
Kiss the bride?
Kiss her!
Come on. One…
Uh-uh.
…two…
…three.
There's plenty to go around. Have a piece.
No need to do the calculations. It's a huge cake.
- It looks delicious. - Delicious.
- Arístides, give me cake. - You get the biggest slice.
Here you go. Now, off you run.
What are you doing here? Are you lost or what?
I have to speak with Hache.
Let's go inside.
Shall we slip away again?
No.
Let's do it again and come back. No one will notice.
No.
You're stepping on the dress.
It's easier if you just relax a bit.
You're just like Neapolitan women. A hundred percent.
And what are Neapolitan women like?
They're…
No one's able to say.
You weren't in Barcelona. That much was clear.
I didn't know where you were.
Then one day, I woke up, and suddenly, I had this feeling.
I took a chance, and here I am.
You hit the jackpot there, my friend.
Slow down, for the love of God. You might choke on something.
Clever you are.
I've been suffering, while you were here living like kings.
Sponging off everyone.
Why did you come here? Huh? Tell me! What the fuck do you want?
- Let go! You're hurting me. - What do you want?
They want the cement factory, okay?
A developer got in contact with me because I'm Malpica's lawyer.
They're offering a lot of money. They just need Hache to sign the papers.
Hache? What do you mean, Hache?
His inheritance. You know, Malpica's.
The cement factory,
the house by the beach, the Albatros…
It's all hers. I swear.
Camino, do you know why there are five of them?
No.
I'll tell you. One is for health. Two for… happiness.
Three, love. Four, a long life.
- Know what five is? - No.
Children! Fertility. Lots of children.
Oh! Fertility?
Burned down?
What do I pay the police for?
What's the point if my laboratory burned down?
It's over, Messina.
Bring me Giancarlo tomorrow. Understood?
Get out of here!
It's nothing. A minor problem.
I'll fix it.
A year in prison.
It was absolute hell.
I thought I wouldn't get out.
- Why did they let you out? - I don't know. I didn't ask.
- Why? Should I have complained? - You think we're believing a word of this?
Don't think you can take us for fools. Come on.
I'm telling you the truth, I swear.
Look. This is the developer who wants the cement factory.
Big deal. It's just a card. That could be anybody's.
Then call the notary office and ask about the inheritance. Here.
I have a card.
Is the Albatros part of the inheritance?
- Yes. - We can't go on talking here.
We'll continue tomorrow in Naples
or anywhere else. You have to leave now.
I've nowhere to go. I've come straight from the station.
- I've spent my last peseta. - Here, take this. For accommodation.
You have to leave right now. All right, I'm gonna get a car for you.
And you should go back to the party.
I know it was you that killed him.
- Is that what you told the police, then? - No.
Why?
Don't play with me.
- I just give the word, and you're dead. - That child…
Is he part of the inheritance?
Hache. What's this bastard doing in my house?
My heart is to blame.
My heart. It doesn't like the life I'm living.
The doctor says it's not possible to change my heart,
but I have to change my way of life.
And I say to him, "I could also change my doctor."
A toast to those who wish us harm.
I know how I'm going to die.
We all do here.
I will never die.
Hache, she always has an answer.
Why did that developer send you?
They contacted me because I was Malpica's lawyer.
To get the inheritance, Hache should sign before a notary.
Get them to send the papers here.
- Yes, but... - I'll pay for it.
And the offer for the cement factory?
Sell it.
Charge them for the service and sell the rest.
I trust in you.
- Malpica trusted you, didn't he? - I don't want to sell the Albatros.
I want to go back to Barcelona.
You're always saying you're bitter you lost the city.
I can go and take care of it all.
I know all of it better than any of your men.
A boss who's female in Barcelona?
I'm capable and I've always been loyal to you.
You owe me this.
I said no.
Come on. Let's go.
Senovilla, stay and enjoy yourself.
There are plenty of rooms.
And clothes.
A good friend wouldn't spoil her best friend's party.
Finish your drink, come on. There's a car waiting for you.
No, Luciano invited me to stay.
Hache's thinking about opening the Albatros.
Wants to go back to Barcelona.
Can you read it?
Do you like it?
It's perfect, my love.
Well, the only thing left to do is settle the balance.
If you'll allow me, I'll put them away.
Your hands where I can see them!
You, with the moustache. Get the bag, come on.
Everything in there. Watches, wallets. Now! Go, go, go, go!
Come on. Put the jewels in the bag. Move!
Don't do anything, Alejandro.
Are you deaf? Do it faster!
Come on. Put those jewels in the bag too.
Come with me. Move it.
Are you deaf? I said, faster!
- No, not this. - What do you mean, no?
Give me your hand, you idiot! Let's go!
- You have enough now. Leave. - Shut it, you.
You, give me your earrings.
- No! - Come on.
- Now! Come on. - You're hurting me.
Leave her alone! Now, get out.
I'm a policeman.
Leave that on the table. And back away.
Do as I say.
I don't want to. Give me the gun.
- I said, give it to me. - Step back.
He's a child.
Javier Fauró. They called him "Kubala."
Must have been good at football, I guess.
- He was wanted around here. - What did he do?
As far as we know, he stole the takings from a betting shop last month.
By force too. In and out, just five minutes, pish, pash, posh.
He was carrying a toy gun.
How could you know that? I'd have done the same.
I've never killed anyone before now.
Here. This is Kubala's gang.
Well, the ones we know of.
Baby thieves. All between 15 and 16 years old.
Recognise any of them?
He had a pair of tights over his head. It's difficult.
Yeah.
- Alano. - Commissioner.
- How are you, Vinuesa? - Fine, thank you.
Why don't you take a few days?
And Silvia too. Both of you.
If you like, you can wait until after the wedding. Huh?
I'd rather keep working. I've got a lot to do.
If you'll excuse me.
Shall we go, mister?
You know, accepting help from others won't hurt you.
I can't sleep either.
I made a couple of long-distance calls.
It's true that Senovilla just got out of prison.
The guy whose card that was? He's got a lot of money.
He's building blocks of flats in the Horta district.
I want to go back.
They'll arrest us the minute we're back in Barcelona.
Have you thought about that?
It wouldn't be the first time. I'm not scared.
I don't understand you. Honestly, I don't understand.
We have everything we want here. We're safe.
Don't come if you don't want to.
Okay.
Why did he leave it all to me?
Who else would it be?
I suppose he knew if he left the business to you,
well, you'd put yourself in charge.
But it's kind of a trap, you know?
If you're looking for Charly, he's busy.
But watch out. He's in a foul mood today.
And it's our first anniversary too.
Congratulations.
Yes. Right when you arrived.
Sorry, can you give me some space?
Because of the fire? Is that why he's in a bad mood?
Yes. He lost the laboratory.
In Sicily.
He's with Giancarlo, the chemist, now.
Tell me,
when are you going back to Barcelona?
Coffee, please.
Get rid of him! Quickly!
Hache.
Is it me you're looking for?
Are you here to tell me something?
I hope it's good.
I want to set up a lab in Barcelona.
What do you know about how a lab works?
Have you eaten?
Sit down.
We can use trucks to transport the heroin again.
As soon as they cross the border, I'll take care of them.
I'll look for a chemist. From the lab, it'll go straight to the airport.
I won't take any cut of it until the third load.
Brave woman.
You're not scared, are you?
I don't like it.
If you're not scared, then I can't trust you.
Let me fly.
If there are any problems, I won't come and find you.
Good night.
Vinuesa, I have a lead.
Kubala's gang. Do you want to get your rings back?
I did military service in Majorca. How long are you staying there?
Just one week.
Congratulations. Really.
She's a good girl, Silvia.
Yes, she saved my life.
What they did to you is outrageous.
You saw what happened at the cement factory. You were there.
Not one of those guys is still in prison. Not one.
Meanwhile, Eladio got a few years. It's him who's paying for it.
I'd rather not talk about it.
Vinuesa, I'll go up.
Wait here.
GUESTHOUSE ROOMS
Stop! Police!
Hey! Stop! Stop!
Keep moving. There's nothing to see here.
Come on.
But why do we have to go to Barcelona?
Aren't you excited to go back?
- I want to stay here. - Well, stay, then. Don't come with me.
- No. I'll come with you. - All right, then.
Tina, go with Emilia
so she can clean your shoes before we leave.
Go, I said.
Emilia, you take Tina.
Never enough, is it?
You need more than this, do you? Come on. It's not that awful for you.
I'm sorry.
I'm really going to miss you.
Why do you need to go back to Barcelona? We only ever had bad luck in that place.
But that's what makes me want to go back.
You don't even know how to hold him.
Hello, Héctor.
Hey.
I knew this was going to happen.
I'd observe you, and I don't know why, but I knew you were going to spoil it all.
It's not an impulse.
- I don't know how to live here. - What don't you have?
I want to take the opportunity. Tell me, is that bad?
Well, I'm not letting you do it alone.
- We'll go back to how it was before. - No.
We'll be going back but not like that.
It won't be the same anymore.
Why so much luggage, honey? We're hardly going to leave the hotel.
Sweetheart, we're not going to Venice now.
Change of plans.
And our honeymoon?
Bambino!
Come here.
Keep a close eye on them.
- Understood? - Understood.
- I'll be your eyes. - Mm-hm.
It will all be fine. I promise.
Ah, me, I don't like promises. You know that?
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Open the doors and windows to let them out. Come on.
I'll see if I can connect to the mains to get us up and running.
Make sure they clean everything thoroughly. Hmm?
I want it to be ready as soon as possible.
Wouldn't it be better if you sold it?
- And then we can forget about it. - I didn't ask your opinion.
You could at least wait a little bit. See how things develop.
- This is dangerous, you know? - Look for people who are trustworthy.
- Both for here and the lab work. - What you mean, lab work?
We'll be setting up a lab for heroin.
- We have to find somewhere invisible. - How are you going to set up a heroin lab?
The Italian's finishing the little alcohol left behind the bar.
Get me the developer. The one who wants to buy the cement factory.
- I want to see him as soon as possible. - Okay. I'm off.
Are you going to live here?
The children will stay at Camino's.
I don't want them to ever come here. There's no need.
What about you?
Burn the bedsheets and the towels, and make sure they hang a new mirror.
Helena,
all I'm saying is…
Go.
You have a lot to do.
There he is!
HERE LIES THE BODY OF BRUNO ARTERO JUNE 22, 1960
MALPICA FAMILY
I hear you're looking for people to fill some jobs.
Well, I could use one.
Don't you remember me?
Caracas.
The hook of death.
Man! Course I remember.
Impossible to forget.
You mentioned the Albatros, yeah? Isn't the Albatros closed?
Well, I have no idea. I haven't been there for a while.
What happened to Malpica? People talk, you know?
He could be travelling.
This city made him quite unwell. Here you go.
Look after yourself.
Honey!
I'm home!
Honey!
Shh! You'll wake the baby.
It's Helena's baby. She should take care of it.
Camino.
Are you hiding bottles from me?
The bottles get finished. If you drink them, that happens.
They're all empty in the rubbish.
You're even more beautiful when you're angry.
I don't want kisses now.
Yes, now. Come here.
I'm tired, Piero.
You'll like it.
No, leave me alone. Piero…
Piero, stop it.
Get away.
I told you to come here!
Did I hurt you?
I'm sorry.
Did I hurt you? I'm sorry.
Sorry. I'm a brute. I'm sorry.
Forgive me. I'm a brute. I'm sorry.
No one from his family? No one? It'll just be us?
What do you want me to say? He has no siblings.
And as for others, I mean… I don't know. Madrid's far, you know?
Yeah, but not even a friend?
It's a small celebration. It's a family thing.
You know, you're supposed to be glad for me.
Of course I'm glad. But nobody told me that you'd be
with a widower who's a policeman, and older than you.
Alejandro needs me. He's going through difficult things.
And I need him.
It's really that simple.
Well, don't come to the wedding if you really don't want to, huh?
Silvia.
It will all be over soon.
Then everything will be all right. I'm sure of it.
MONTALBÁN BUILDING COMPANY INC.
Mr. Montalbán is waiting for you.
- It's better if I do the talking. - Don't even think about it.
Excuse me, we're here!
Uh, Helena Olaya, no?
Uh…
Sit down.
- We had an appointment. - Mm-hmm.
We're here about the Malpica cement factory.
I'm Julio Senovilla, I'm Miss Olaya's lawyer.
We spoke last week. Perhaps it was you I...
Yes, it was me you spoke with.
As I mentioned on the phone,
my company is very interested in acquiring that land.
Good morning. No, please don't get up.
Go on.
Yes, so as I mentioned before, our company is very,
very interested in acquiring that land.
As long as we can reach an agreement.
You plan to construct some apartment buildings?
That's right. And so, what do you think?
And you're willing to pay?
I'm not going to sell it for pennies.
God, this is madness.
They just offered you a huge amount of money, Hache.
There's a motorbike following us.
It's true. Right on our tail.
Uh, isn't that…
There. It was there. I was eight or nine.
I was on my bike. It was only the first or second time. I hit the wall there.
I remember my head. It was like the ground had cracked.
It was such a shock. I thought I was going to die.
Have you ever been close to death?
Do you always have so many people around you?
Do you always fall asleep at the meeting room table?
Well,
I drank a little too much last night.
I don't know many businesswomen.
Where is your family from, then?
Tell me your name?
Ventura.
Ventura Montalbán.
Here.
Final offer.
- A 20% increase. - Mmm.
That's an advance.
What?
What are you doing? Don't throw it away. Give it to me.
Don't throw it away!
- Tell your boss it didn't work. - He's not my boss, okay? He's my father.
Then tell your father I'll sell the land when he pays the amount I'm asking. Hmm?
And don't waste my time, honey. Okay?
You're Hache, right?
- Yeah. - I've heard a lot about you.
Uh, who are you? What are you doing in my home?
You're planning something, aren't you? What is it?
Money?
Merchandise?
Hey!
Let go of her.
Hey, calm down.
- My hand could slip. - Don't even think about it.
Just give me a nice wad of cash, I'll give her back to you.
Don't provoke me, Caracas.
You've never killed a fly,
but I could put four bullets in you without batting an eye.
You grab your gun,
and I'll kill her.
Kill her, and you won't get out of here alive.
I swear to you.
Listen, here's what's going to happen.
First, you let her go, then we talk.
So do you want to come with us?
Just like the old times.
'Cause that's what you want, isn't it?
Are you being serious?
First, put the knife on the floor.
All right. Okay. How much are you going to pay me?
What have you done? What have you done?
I just saved your lives! Both of you! Why didn't you shoot him?
Because I'm not carrying a fucking gun!
- Did he hurt you? - Just take him away.
Give me a hand with this rug. Come on, let's go.
Come on, boy! Don't worry. You won't mess up your suit.
Yeah.
Hello? No. I can't right now. It won't be possible.
Yes, it's today.
No, no, no, no. Tell me.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT
They found him earlier today, near the treatment plant in El Prat.
They put a bullet in his head.
And the matches?
Have you had a look?
Yes, I've been down there.
They've changed the neon sign and given it a fresh lick of paint.
Last time I was there, there were mice everywhere.
They've got a new sign by the door.
REOPENING SOON
The rest is fine.
Helena.
Are you here to arrest me? Hmm?
Why have you risked coming back here?
I saw absolutely no reason not to.
The Albatros will open again.
And it will be spotless, elegant, and everyone will come too.
It was you.
- You killed him. You! - That's ludicrous.
I loved him very much.
Very much.
You fucked up my life once. I sure as hell won't let you do it again.
You look handsome.
- Going to a wedding? Whose? Anyone I know? - No.
You don't know him.
Come back whenever you want. You're always welcome here.
Are you all right? Has something happened?
I'm sorry.
You look so beautiful.
I'm sorry. My apologies, everyone.
All right. We can begin now.
Hug me. They're all staring at us.
What happened?
Don't lie to me.
Why would I lie to you?
Please kiss me.
Hooray!
Julio. Long-distance call.
Hello?
Fine.
No problems. Just as we predicted.
Hache has taken the bait.
