Excuse me.

HAVANA, CUBA
1870

Watch out!

Go on. Take a look and see
if there are any rooms available.

Here?

Wouldn't you rather stay in a nicer place?

No, it's well-situated.
It looks inexpensive, doesn't it?

Get going.

Well, come in, come in.
Don't stay by the door.

Let it not be said that I'm a bad hostess.

Although, as I said,
I would like to accommodate you,

but several boats docked today
and the establishment is full.

There's one room,
but it hasn't been used in a while.

We'll take it.

I must say
that it has to be aired out a bit.

Don't worry.

- It's the biggest and most expensive.
- Not a problem.

In that case, make yourselves at home.

Here, everyone minds their own business.

May I offer you a fresh cup
of coffee before showing you to your room?

No.

Perhaps later.
I have urgent matters to attend to.

And what brings you to Havana, Mr. Mauro?

Business of a diverse nature.

Well, welcome,

this island is small,
but full of opportunities

for anyone who knows how to find them,
and I see you have that gift?

I've seen guests arrive here

with empty pockets,

but when they leave, they're full of gold.

I apologize for the humidity.

As I told you,
it's been unoccupied for years.

May I ask the reason why?

I'm not going to lie to you.

It was our bedroom,

when my Francisco was still alive.

He was a fellow countryman of yours
and former owner of this establishment.

He left it to me after he died,

even though his real family is in Madrid.

But he had lost contact with them
when he came here.

Imagine the fuss it created
when they found out.

He was a medic in the army...

but not good enough of one to cure himself
of the fever that took him.

May he rest in peace.

- He died here?
- Yes, right here.

In Havana, I mean.

My God, I don't want to even think
of what could have happened.

THE LATEST

This was left for you, Mr. Mauro.

Who knows I'm here?

Mr. Mauro, in Havana
everyone knows everything.

A gentleman like you, from abroad,

with good looks and means,
can be recognized from a mile away.

It's from Gustavo Zayas
and Carola Gorostiza.

The sister
of my son's future father-in-law.

Well, what a secret you were keeping.

You're lucky to have
someone in your family marry into another

with such a distinguished lady
as Madam Carola.

- You know her?
- Personally? No, no, no, no.

I wish I did.

But I doubt there's anyone in Havana
who doesn't know her,

if only by reputation.

Believe me, that woman
is kindness personified.

She has presence, distinction, class...

It's an invitation to a masquerade ball.

What mask will you wear?

Perhaps you received
an invitation by mistake.

I see you're not wearing a mask.

I have no need for one.
I've never been one to hide.

I prefer to face situations
without wearing a disguise.

Well, that says a lot about you
as a gentleman.

But what brings you here
if not to enjoy the ball?

I've come to pay my respects
to the lady of the house,

Mrs. Carola Gorostiza.

Perhaps you could help me find her.

Of course, my friend.

But I've never seen you
in these parts before.

I'm a recent arrival.

Mauro Larrea, a native of Spain,

and a resident of Mexico
for many years now.

Julián Calafat, of the Calafat Bank.

You will find no other one on the island

more secure than ours
to put your trust in.

As well as my means, no?

I see no one wastes time here,
nor does something for nothing.

Forgive me, Mr. Mauro,
if I've offended you.

But as you'll see,
I've been in this business a long time,

and I'm capable
of distinguishing from afar

when a good investment
presents itself to me.

Give me your address,
and I'll come see you tomorrow.

Here you are.

We'll see each other tomorrow, then?

I believe the time has arrived for me
to introduce you to the lady of the house.

Come with me, please.

My dear friends,

Gustavo, Carola,

I don't believe you've had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Mauro Larrea.

Gustavo Zayas, at your service.

Carola Gorostiza de Zayas, a pleasure.

This is Luis Montalvo,
a relative from Spain.

Here, drink this wine.

It's from our vineyards in Jerez.

Excuse me.

Gustavo, did you know
Mr. Larrea and I are going to be family?

His son is marrying the daughter
of my brother, Ernesto.

So, I imagine you have
many things to talk about.

- Indeed.
- Excuse me.

Luis...

Excuse me
for summoning you here in such haste.

I had several slaves watching over
the lodgings of the city

so that they could inform me
of your arrival.

Why the urgency in seeing me?

I would like to ask you, in the name
of your friendship with my brother,

to not say anything about the money
he sent me through you.

Least of all to my husband.

You can count on my discretion.

But tell me, madam, what do you want me
to do with these documents?

They're worth a lot of money
and that is a big responsibility.

Keep them until I request them.

But you and I will talk in private.

I will let you know where.

- Shall we dance?
- Of course.

Enjoy the party.

CALAFAT AND ASSOCIATES BANKING HOUSE
JULIAN CALAFAT COLOMBAS

It's certainly a considerable amount.

Invested properly, it could guarantee you
a good rate of return.

And what is your proposal?

Look, Mr. Larrea,
I'm in the position of offering you

a very lucrative business opportunity.

But you would need more money.

How much are we talking about?

In the order of three or four thousand.

It's a quantity that I could manage
to obtain somehow.

Continue.

Good.

Do you believe in luck, Mr. Larrea?

Because, as a matter of fact,

a silent partner

has just backed out of a deal
I'm taking part in.

And you could take his place.

I'm all ears.

Look. It's a reefer ship.

A marvelous invention

that can transport fresh beef
from Argentina to the Caribbean.

- And the meat is perfectly preserved?
- That's right.

Without needing to salt it beforehand?

What exactly are you proposing?

This is the future, Mr. Mauro.

If you can obtain
the money you're missing,

we would be five partners, all equal.

However,

if you decide not to,
I will invest the missing funds myself.

And how long do you think
it will take to make a profit?

I calculate it to be
three and a half months.

And the rate of return?

It would multiply your investment by five.

And how long do I have to make a decision?

No more than two days.

Mr. Mauro, you're a very popular man.

Don't tell me you've been invited
to another ball in El Cerro.

No. I regret to inform you
that there is no party today.

And what is it,
if you don't mind me asking?

The Tacón Theater.

You're going to love it!

Have you heard the saying?

"There are three things in Havana
that lead to admiration:

"El Morro, La Cabaña,

"and the Tacón Theater's chandelier."

Excuse me.

Thank you for coming, Mr. Mauro.

I brought what you requested,
the documents your brother sent you.

No, no. Please, not here.

I just need a little more time.

For now, keep in your possession
the money my brother sent me.

And I suppose
without your husband knowing.

- Exactly, my dear friend.
- I have a proposal for you.

Join your capital with mine.

I have an impending business venture
both solid and profitable. Guaranteed.

And what does this
fabulous venture consist of?

Investing in a reefer ship,

where the meat is preserved
as fresh as it was the day it was cut.

It's a new invention that will eventually
unite nations and commerce.

It does sound like
a very good opportunity.

- Is that a yes or a no?
- A perhaps.

But I also have a venture
to propose to you.

It all depends on your scruples.

Well... Without them, we wouldn't
be able to do business, would we?

Look, this isn't the place
to go into details.

Tomorrow night, go to the tile warehouse

on the corner of Obra Pía and San Ignacio.
At eleven o'clock.

Tell them Samuel sent you.

And now, please leave.

There, there.

There, there.

Waiting for Mr. Larrea?

That's the job.

He'll be back in no time.

My lady, Mrs. Carola, won't keep him long.

So, you are...

The same person who delivered
your boss's messages

to Mrs. Caridad's lodgings.

I run from here to there...
I can't read, but I see. I see everything.

Great. Then you can show me
around this beautiful island.

From what I can see, the loveliest parts
are not the landscapes...

Look, if you think that flowery language

and wide-eyed looks
are going to get you anywhere...

sit down and wait.

Keep the flowers
for someone who'll buy them.

Is that so? Then why did you come over?

To give you some advice,

of the free variety.

Beware of those people back there.

They prey upon gullible dupes like you.

They've already picked
a few pockets tonight.

- Know what I think?
- What?

That if you're worried about me,
it's because I caught your eye.

Such arrogance...

WILLIAM PHYNN
EARTHENWARE AND CERAMICS

Don't budge from this spot. Wait for me.

You got it, boss. I'll wait
until the sun comes up if need be.

- Who sent you?
- Samuel.

This way.

- Good evening to you, gentlemen.
- Good evening.

I'm Lorenzo Novas,
the owner of this establishment.

Our mutual friend told me you'd come.

I have her complete trust.

I'm the one who will decide
what to do with her capital.

Then let's not waste any more time.

Gentlemen, I have good news.
Our boat has dropped anchor.

How many pieces
are expected to arrive in port?

I calculate some 650,

although a certain percentage
will not be in perfect condition.

They could break?

It's possible some might break.

A blacksmith is doing
all that is necessary

to keep the cargo secure.

If they're chained,
we can avoid deterioration.

As long as they arrive in one piece.

Alive, you mean.

Serviceable to serve,

despite how redundant that sounds.

Where are you going?
You're not interested?

I'm not interested in making money

neither by buying
nor selling human beings.

And why did you think
we were meeting in secret?

To discuss the importing
of fine porcelain?

Gentlemen.

Knowing my niece, she must be
very excited about her wedding.

I'm looking forward to meeting your son.

I'm sure he's an incredible young man.

I'm happy we're going to be family.

Yes, of course.
Let's sit for a moment, please.

- Listen...
- May I know what happened last night?

Everyone who took part agreed unanimously.

The only one who didn't was you.

I didn't expect that.

What you're proposing is inhumane.

The only suffering
I want to make a fortune on is my own.

Not on that of some poor slaves.

I can't do it alone.
My husband could find out.

That's not my problem anymore.

Think about it.

Don't miss out
on such a great opportunity.

Boss, the captain of a Mexican sailboat
brought this for you.

He says it's urgent.

Son of a bitch!

Is something wrong?

It's from Tadeo Carrús.

He says he knows I left Mexico,
and doubts I'll return.

He wants to cover his back and says

I have to pay him a percentage of my debt
to demonstrate my good faith.

He says that he's sorry
for having left Mariana without our dog.

And that next time, she will be the one
who suffers the consequences.

Come, my love.
