Oranges. Fresh oranges.

It's a bargain, madam. Nicely priced.

You'll thank me eventually,
for bringing you to your senses.

Gentlemen. Madam.

I would like to announce
that our ship is now at anchor,

with the holds refitted
to accommodate our cargo...

of coal.

Which bay is the boat in?

That information is confidential.

You understand
that we must take precautions.

It will be less likely that,
if someone has a slip of the tongue,

our business will reach
the ears of the authorities

or the damn abolitionists.

- Understand that I have every right...
- Do you know where it is?

Don't worry. Novas takes care
of the more tedious business,

and we just collect our money.

Oh, Blessed Virgin, protect me.

I hope they don't take much longer.
I'm so hungry I could eat a whole ram.

I don't know about a ram,

but there's an inn nearby that has
pork rinds that are finger-licking good.

- It's on me, while we wait.
- Are you crazy?

No. I can't move from here.

But it's right here, nearby.

Don't you understand?

If my mistress comes out
and doesn't see me,

this slave is in real trouble.

I forgot, you're her property.

You show obedience to your master too.

That's different. Mauro is my boss, yes,

but he and I have risked our necks
working side by side in the mine.

He even saved my life
when I was trapped in a cave-in.

And who's to say
my mistress hasn't saved my life?

Who knows where I'd be
if it weren't for her.

I'd be on a plantation, busting my back,

or something even worse.

Instead of safe in a lovely house.

The difference is
that I can leave whenever I want.

Listen.

I would have really loved to have gone
to eat those pork rinds with you.

Cheer up.

You're about to be rich and you look
like someone died.

You really have no qualms
about the nature of this business?

For God's sake, leave the qualms
to the pious and the Masons.

If I feel remorseful,
I'll settle it with my confessor.

For your information,

I will tell you that slaves are not
so much servants as part of the family.

Well fed, clothed and pampered.
Isn't that right, Trinidad?

Nearly our whole lives together.

You see?

Hold on.

There's something I want to ask you.

If we're going to get caught up
in this mess together, at least be honest.

Why do you insist
on going behind your husband's back?

Are you married?

I was.

You'll agree with me
that marriage is a complex alliance.

It gives you joy and bitterness.
And sometimes it's a power struggle.

With more money in my hands,
I might get more power in my marriage.

You are desperate too, and you put
this opportunity in front of me.

Multiply my inheritance
without even touching it.

I don't like men
who only take women halfway.

I've never had
any complaints in that regard.

Let's go!

This came for you, boss.

It's an invitation
to Don Luis Montalvo's birthday party,

which his cousin
will be hosting at El Cerro.

No, there's no way
I'm setting foot in that house again.

These slaves
don't seem to lead a bad life.

Appearances can be deceiving, boss.

Our work in the mine was harder.

Excuse me.

Luis Montalvo?

Mauro Larrea. At your disposal.

Do you remember me?

The Mexican by adoption.

Nice to see you again.

I trust you got the invitation
to celebrate my birthday.

I did. But I regret to inform you
that I will not be able to attend.

I'm so sorry.

I've ruined your hat.

- Let me buy you a new one.
- Don't worry.

At least let me buy you a coffee
to make up for my clumsiness.

Tell me, what brings you to Havana?

Originally I came to Cuba
for family reasons.

Unfinished business
with my cousin Gustavo.

Family.

A simple word,
but so complicated at the same time.

You come from southern Spain, correct?

From Jerez de la Frontera.

We are the remains
of a great winemaking family.

Look at this pretty one.
You think it'd suit me?

You always look beautiful.

What a flatterer you are.

- Be more careful!
- Forgive me.

If you break anything,
you'll work in the plantation,

where they'll put an end
to your daydreaming.

Hurry up!

Your cousin and Carola are a very...

interesting couple.

Strange woman, Carola.

Strange and... charming.

May I give you some advice?

Watch your step.

Don't fall into her trap.

If you get too close to her,
it'll be very difficult to escape.

Doesn't her behavior
make her husband jealous?

Gustavo is indifferent to her.

There's no room for her in his heart,
no matter how many years go by.

The worst thing that can happen to a man
is to lose his self-respect.

But that's not something
that happens overnight.

It all starts with a bad decision.

May I confess something to you?

I think I already made one.

A deal that will make me good money,

but at the cost
of betraying my principles.

Be careful.

Some lines should never be crossed.

Or your soul will end up paying the price.

Hey! What is it you want now?

Don't get involved in that business, boss.

They're human. They think, they eat,

they have toothaches
and they mourn their dead.

You've fallen
for Mrs. Carola's slave, huh?

The slave has a name. Trinidad.

They all have names, boss.

Remember when we used
to go down to the mine?

You made us work our backsides off,

but you never treated us like animals.

Whoever wanted
to stay by your side stayed.

Whoever wanted to go their own way,
no one forced them to stay.

Those days are over.
Now we have other problems.

I have to get ahead
for my children's future.

Boss...

In life, things are either right or wrong.

There are other ways
to regain your fortune and pay your debts.

And you know it well.

This isn't right.

Again?

Come here and kiss me.

I'm serious.
We can't keep deceiving Gustavo.

Gustavo has never cared about you.

Why do you care about him now?

I came to Havana
to heal old wounds with my cousin.

Not only have I not done that,
but I've opened new ones.

Soledad would be ashamed.

Soledad?

That bitch has ruined my life
from the other side of the world.

Stop, you don't know her.

Are you going to defend her too?

You don't know what it's like
to feel unloved.

Filling the space
they wish someone else would fill.

My family has always
made me feel like that.

Filling the gap left by Matías,
without being able to, either.

And don't you think that, for once,

we should be loved as we deserve?

Let's go.

No, my love.

How incredible, Don Mauro!

You've only been in Havana a few days
and you've done so much already.

You go to the most select parties,
as well as to secret meetings.

What I do outside your house
is none of your business,

is it?

Allow me to tell you
that your other activities are not.

But the last one, as a quadroon,

does affect me somewhat.

Quadroon?

A quarter of black blood
runs through my veins.

You see, my grandmother...

was a beautiful slave.

When she was 13, she was made pregnant
by the master of the house, who was 53.

Eight months later, my mother was born.

And since the owners had no children,
and the lady was as barren as a desert,

they decided to keep her.

My grandmother, so that she wouldn't
get attached to the baby,

was taken to another property.

And there, unable
to see her daughter grow up,

she became more and more angry
and ended up running away.

For the Maroons,

the slaves who run from their masters,

there are usually three ways out.

The best is to reach a port
and be emancipated in an American country.

The second is to be caught and whipped.

And the third?

To have the dogs rip them to shreds.

Hunting hounds
trained to catch slaves and kill them.

Do you want to know which of those
three fates befell my grandmother?

I'd like to know, too.

But nobody ever found out.

Wonderful to see you, Larrea, my friend.

I thought you had decided
on other business

and that I would not see you again.

But please, come in.

Thank you, but I'll be brief.

Do you have contacts
with the anti-slavery movement?

Look, my friend...

In my line of work...

I keep good relations
with even the devil himself.

And you say the ship
is almost ready to go?

Exactly.

Although it's supposedly
cleared for Puerto Rico,

it's about to sail
to a different destination,

and then it will return to Cuba
with more than 600 Africans.

But do you know where it's docked?

Unfortunately, I don't, gentlemen.

And there's no one else who knows?

Yes. There may be someone else.

Is there any chance
you can get them to tell you?

Difficult, I think.

My intention, after informing you,
was to withdraw from this matter

and have nothing more to do with it.

Sir...

Your good intentions are laudable.

But without that information,
everything could fall through.

Mr. Larrea,

if you could find out,
you might save many lives.

There's a lot of suffering at stake.

Mauro Larrea, how lovely to see you.

I thought you'd never trust me again.

A man can change his mind.

And I'm glad you did.

Is there somewhere
we can talk more discreetly?

There is.

But first, I warn you.

I cannot disappear
from a party in my own home

and risk my reputation
if not for a good reward.

You have my word that it will be worth it.

I wanted to talk to you to apologize.

Thanks to your advice,
we are going to receive

a generous amount of money.

And I have not thanked you properly.

I'm glad you've realized that,

and that you've overcome
your silly scruples.

I've never gotten used
to giving up control.

In business, I'm always
in control of the situation.

I have no doubt.

Although sometimes
it's best to let yourself go.

Both in business and in life.

For my peace of mind,
I would like to be sure

that our project is proceeding smoothly.

It is, rest assured.

I know I gave my word,

but experience tells me
that I must be cautious.

And I'd like to check everything
with my own eyes.

You know Novas doesn't want
anyone to know where the boat is.

Just as a precaution, of course.

I insist. I want to see it.

Or else I'm going to have
to withdraw from the game.

At the Cavalry Dock.
That's where the damn boat is.

Now, will you stop worrying for once?

I understand
why women fall in love with you.

- Carola.
- Yes?

You're a unique woman.

- Aren't you afraid of anything?
- Of course I am.

But that's for you to find out.

I know an inconspicuous place,
not far from here.

Let's be smart.

You'd never forgive me if your guests

had to do without your presence.

So, if you'll excuse me,

I too have
some important business to attend to.

Excuse me.

Happy birthday, cousin.

I hope you had a great time.

You shouldn't have organized
all this in my honor.

I don't deserve it.

I came to Havana
to seek our reconciliation and...

since I arrived, everything has been
one failure after another.

With Carola's help.

Which was probably invaluable to you.

I have eyes, Luis.
I know exactly what's going on.

I know her very well.

And you've fallen into her web.

You're not one to judge.

What are you trying to say?

You're also obsessed with a married woman.

Don't go there.

How dare you come to my house
and say that to me?

Because of you, Luis,
because of your cowardice,

I've been living in exile all these years.

We can keep lying
about what happened at the game reserve,

but we know the truth.

We swore to never talk about it!

Well, now we're going to.

I didn't kill Matías.

I didn't fire that shot.

And you always knew it.

But of course,
you were incapable of speaking.

You were bedridden for weeks.

Everyone turned out
to look after poor Shrimp,

so weak, so small...

Even I, Luis. For your protection,

I invented the story
of an unknown hunter who fled.

- They never blamed you.
- They didn't have to.

Everyone knew I hated your brother
for not stopping Sol's wedding.

Grandfather didn't hesitate
to send me to the Americas.

No one could bear the idea
of living with a suspected murderer.

I didn't know anything about all that.

My mind just went blank and...

It took me months to get myself together.

But when you had the chance
to tell the truth, you didn't.

- You kept your mouth shut.
- Because you'd gone far away.

Matías was already dead and buried...

It didn't matter anymore.

It did matter, Luis! It did matter!

If you had at least told the truth...

even having lost Soledad...

I could have returned to Jerez

with my dignity intact

and my head held high.

You only had to say a few words, Luis.

That it was an accident.

That it was not deliberate.

And more importantly...

That the shot that killed Matías
came from your shotgun.

How could you do this to me?

You're a traitor and a coward.

We did well
not to go into that dirty business.

You should thank me
for making the right decision.

You have no idea what you're messing with.

The authorities found
the boat and confiscated it.

This will have consequences for me

if Novas and his associates
find out I talked.

Madam, there are lines
that cannot be crossed.

Out of conscience.

I don't care about your conscience.

You're a miserable cheat.

This is not over yet.

You're going to regret betraying me.

Dear Sol
