[GENEK KURC] Previously, on
We Were the Lucky Ones
I have news from Lvov.
Herta made it safely.
They've all been assigned,
uh, apartments, there's work.
Life is relatively calm.
[JAKOB KURC] Bella?
Together, from now on.
I want to marry you.
[ADAM EICHENWALD] Has something changed?
Nothing has changed for me.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
No, you've, you've done nothing wrong.
I need to do something.
I want to do what you're doing.
Whatever it is that you are involved in,
I-I want to be part of it.
We, we help in small ways.
- Ambassador Dantas!
- Monsieur.
Am-Ambassador, please.
My name is Addy Kurc.
I'm an electrical engineer.
If you're interested
in applying for a visa,
you should visit the embassy.
I have. I've visited five times.
There is a ship leaving
soon for Rio, the Alsina.
You should make sure you're on it.

And now, a new performer
to our nightly cabaret.
From the coastal hills of
Catalonia, please welcome,
Sebastian Padilla!
[AUDIENCE CHEERS, APPLAUDS]
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
[PLAYS BANJO MUSIC]
Another brilliant show, Mr. Addy.
Maybe some Cole Porter
for the end of the night.
I was thinking the same thing, Captain.
[SINGS IN SPANISH]
Addy Kurc. Welcome to the show.
I haven't seen you here before,
unless I'm mistaken.
You are not. I'm not
usually one for cabaret,
but we had to come see
what all the fuss was about.
And has it lived up to the hype?
We have not left yet.
I'll take it as a triumph.
[CHUCKLES]
I am Madame Lowbeer, and
this is my daughter, Elisabeth.
Pleasure to meet you both.
Lowbeer, is that a Swedish name?
Swedish? No, we come
from Czechoslovakia,
or whatever is left of it.
- Prague.
- Ah, charming city.
It strains to be, yes.
- And where do you come from?
- Poland.
A Pole. I wouldn't have guessed.
You carry yourself like a Frenchman.
People on the ship call you
the Master of Ceremonies.
I wear it as a badge of honor.
And why wouldn't you?
It's very flattering.
I wondered if you
originated it yourself.
You think I'm the kind of man
who makes up his own nickname
- and spreads it around?
- [LAUGHS]
I don't know what kind of man you are.
We met two minutes ago.
You're certainly confident.
I hope not arrogant.
[ELISABETH LOWBEER] Maybe, maybe.
It would be earned, at least.
The show is a hit.
[SEBASTIAN SINGING]
Thank you, but I'm just the wrangler.
The talent aboard this ship
deserves most of the credit.
- Stop it, I despise modesty.

The Master of Ceremonies
is also a composer?
- Elisabeth.
- Call me Eliska.
Eliska. What brings you back?
My mother fell asleep,
so I thought I'd come see
if the show was still happening.
Sadly, everyone went to bed.
And yet you're still here.
Is this your room as well?
Do you sleep on top of the piano?
I wish. I hold a second-class ticket,
so my cabin isn't quite so spacious.
But you come and go from
this lounge as you please?
I think the captain appreciates
my contributions to morale.
Hm, as he should.
Felt good tonight.
- What?
- Forgetting
even for a couple hours.
My mother would never admit it,
but I know it helped her, too.
I could see the light
return to her eyes.
[SIGHS]
So, are you a beneficiary of
Ambassador Dantas's generosity?
Yes.
You?
A three-month visa
- burning a hole in my pocket.
- Hm.
From what I've heard,
he's helped many onboard.
I know, that's annoying.
I thought my mother and I were special.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
So, are you going to play
that for me or what?
Oh, no. No, no, no. It's not finished.
Bashful Addy, what's it about?
It's a lullaby
for my two-year-old niece, Felicia.
Aw that's sweet.
Are you close, you and your niece?
We've never met.
You want music?
Come on.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
