[bunniefuu]

-[heavy breathing]
-ERIC: See?

That has to be Mom.

PREVIOUSLY

I have to go back home.
I want to find out what happened.

You're finally back in Cape Qwert!

Look who it is.
Eric Dalaras.

PABLO: A Dalaras has returned
to Tierra Incognita!

DANIEL: I suggest you look after him.

Don't let him into the park,
it's for his own good.

POLICE

PABLO: It's untouched.

No one's been able to come
since the Night of the Lights.

The what?

PABLO: The Night of the Lights.

It's what the townsfolk call the night

the incident with your parents happened.

I need your help.

That wasn't our deal.

You kept the truth from us, Grandpa!

You made us think our parents were dead!

They disappeared, but no one knows
what really happened!

Calm down, Eric.

[buzzing]

[snarls]

[squelching]

[gasps]

When the lamp was hanging unplugged,
the ride was harmless,

but now that we plugged it in--

The park's lights
are causing the nightmares!

ERIC: It makes no sense.

He couldn't have been locked there
for eight whole years.

[growls]

CARMEN: We can clearly see
many Niktu running away.

But running away from what?

[growls]

[screams]

It's my dad's.

-[growls]
-[screams]

I'm going to make your grandson
leave my town.

I won't sign without the envelope.

The bodies were identified
as a male and a female,

Roberto Dalaras y Julia Lumens.

TEMPLE OF DOOM

You're saying something
was coming out of Mr. Celestino's body?

[growls]

[screams]

They say a young and brave Niktu
sacrificed himself and faced it.

What about the Scare?
It never came back?

[speaks in Niktu]

What was it doing at the caves?

It seems that's where it dwells.

That's what Niktu mythology says.

You're saying an ancient creature
ate your parents?

[snarling]

Dad!

I can't believe it.

[groans]

Leave.

-PABLO: Does your dad know you're here?
-[growls]

[snarls]

[heavy breathing]

-[voices speaking Niktu]
-WOMAN'S VOICE: Let me out.

-MAN'S VOICE: Shut up!
-WOMAN'S VOICE: Let me out.

-MAN'S VOICE: Don't look at me that way!
-MAN'S VOICE 2: Take them out of me!

They're in there, Pablo.

They're inside the Scare.

Uma, they're in there.

I heard them.

Mom and Dad.
They're alive.

[static]

[glass shattering]

[footsteps]

[gasps]

Mom?

[music theme]



Aren't you hot?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

Hmm.

Uma, stop fooling around at the table.

It's as if Grandpa was still here.

I don't even want to hear his name.

I'm going to water the plants,
they need to have breakfast too.

Eric?

Eric? Are you there?

Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Oh.

CARMEN: Aren't you going to eat
your breakfast?

Auntie…

[squelching]

Eric…

ERIC: Sorry.

What happened?
Are you okay?

I had a rough night.

-I had nightmares.
-CARMEN: Don't put it back…

It's fine, go and rest.

It's okay, I'll clean it up.

Let me take care of it.

Please, let me take care of it.

Go.

[mumbles]

You think that's a proper breakfast?

No, but it's delicious.

See you later.

[door closes]

FOR CHARITY

[beep]

Reporting from the lab.
The eagle is still in the nest.

[knocks on door]

Uma? Are you alone?

[knock on door]

Come in.

What happened back there?

We were supposed to tell her
about Mom and Dad and the Scare.

Your memories from that night
are going to help us get Mom and Dad back.

But if I tell Auntie everything
I'm going through,

she's going to think I'm going crazy.

Eric, we all saw the Scare.

Yes, but it's not only that.

I'm going through some stuff
I need to understand first.

Didn't you see anything strange
at the table?

-Strange?
-Yeah, dirt and worms.

What?

It's nothing, forget it.

Eric, are you alright?

I'm seeing things that aren't there.

They appear suddenly.

It's been happening ever since I got this.

SCHMIDT: Daniel, we need answers.

Agustin's still missing, and the things
we've seen make us doubt you even more.

Doubts can only be solved…

CAPE QWERT'S POLICE DEPARTMENT

…by investigating,
which is what I'm doing.

Doubt everything, except me.

How could we not doubt you
after seeing this?

THIS IS WHAT CAPE QWERT'S POLICE
IS COVERING UP

I know about that video, Zacarias.

-So?
-Then you have to do something.

I'm working on it.

-ZACARIAS: Working on what?
-What are you working on, Daniel?

ZACARIAS: I can't believe the uselessness
of this precinct!

People's children are going missing!

My daughter Tina has disappeared!

And then, one policeman does this
at a cemetery!

Explain that to me.

-Tell me what's going on!
-You said it, Zacarias, one policeman!

A single one!

I found out the same time as you did
about this confusing act,

but I'm going to shed some light on it.

Now, if you'll excuse me…

-[shouting]
-No, Daniel! Where are you going?

Hi! It's open, right?

-Uh…
-Thanks.

-Pablo.
-What?

Go back to your house
before your parents suspect something.

-Okay.
-We should take turns

to keep an eye on the Scare
while we investigate.

We need to find out everything we can
about this monster.

We're still missing one part
of your dad's logbook.

-There must be more information there.
-ERIC: Yeah.

There's also my aunt.

We have to find out what else she knows
without raising any suspicion.

So what if she suspects something?
Let's ask her for help.

No, this stays between us.

I just saw a bunch of people
at the police station.

-We have to tell someone--
-We're fine like this.

We can't risk anyone finding out
about the Scare.

If someone destroys it,

we won't be able to free anyone,
not Mom, nor Dad, or anyone.

But how can you be so sure
they're inside the Scare?

I can't explain it.

It's something I felt.

But it was real.
Trust me.

Terrifying morning.

How can we horrify you today?

No. We're fine, thank you.

We already had breakfast.

I'd like to have some Scare's vomit…

I mean, specter's vomit.

You sure you don't want something, Lila?

No, thank you.

Okay.

Guys… I wanted to ask you something.

What is it?

I would like you to call me
by my real name from now on.

-Liang.
-Sure.

No problem.

Why?

I changed it because Axel and the guys
thought it was funny.

But I'm ready to use it again.

-Well, it's good that you mention it.
-My name?

No, Axel.

-Oh.
-We've got the Scare under control now,

but he knows everything.

-Axel isn't stupid.
-Are you sure?

Well…

What I'm saying is
that he won't try anything

if there's a chance to save his friends.

That guy doesn't love anyone,
not even his friends.

[scraping]

Take a seat.

Are you sure about this?

Do you think I would suggest it
if I wasn't sure?

Look, the people are concerned.

And this is the only way
to calm them down.

You have my word.

No one's going to harm you.

You won't go to jail.

You're going to keep
your same rank and pay at El Relincho.

You will leave all of this behind.

POLICE AGENT

Should we practice?

Go ahead.

My name is Cristian Maringolo…

[waves crashing]

WHERE IS AGUSTIN?
WE DEMAND ANSWERS!

LET'S FIND GUILLERMO
THE POLICE NEEDS TO GIVE ANSWERS

RETURN OUR CHILDREN TO US!

WE WANT POLICE TRANSPARENCY
WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?

JUSTICE AT CAPE QWERT

Did you know I would be here?

You miss them, don't you?

-Do you see that place?
-LIANG: Yeah.

Well, Agustin swore
there was a baby seal in there.

So we went there,

and once we're there,
he puts his hand in.

He gets bit,
and it turns out it was a rat.

Poor guy.

He had to have like ten shots.

I want them back too,
more than anything in the world.

That's why I want to ask you a favor,
leave the Scare alone, okay?

We'll figure it out.

What do you mean
by leaving the Scare alone?

I thought you knew me, Lila.

My name is Liang.

What are you playing at?

I'm not playing around.

I also thought I knew you.

But I never imagined
you would do something like that to Eric.

It's awful of you to accuse me like that
specially right now.

I see they filled your head
with weird ideas.

I'm not a bad person,
and much less a stupid one.

I'm not going near that thing
knowing I could end up like our friends.

Okay.

Don't worry.

[clears throat]

-Hi, Auntie.
-Hi.

How is it going?

I don't know, you tell me.

-How come?
-CARMEN: "How come"?

You behaved strangely at breakfast.

Well, like I told you,
I had a rough night.

CARMEN: I see…

Were you looking for something?

We were hooked on what we saw
when we visited the caves.

NIKTU MYTHOLOGY

We loved Niktu mythology.

That's great!

You told us about the Scare,

and about a Niktu youngster who faced it.

Do you know how he did it?

Like I told you,
the Scare is only a legend

about facing our fears.

Uma, you pieced this together, didn't you?

How did you figure it out?

What is it?

It's a jigsaw puzzle.

Yeah, but this is much more
than a jigsaw puzzle.

How did you figure it out?

We're supposed to go meet Pablo.

Let's go.

Auntie, can I borrow this?

Eric?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Thanks.

I'll see you later.

Yes, yes, of course.

You know me,
I wouldn't do something like that.

I was a little naive
trusting this Cristian boy.

I should have kept an eye on him.

I know how it must look, but…

believe me, everything's under control.

Yes. Thank you.

Leave it to me.

We'll talk later.

Things are crazy out there.

What are you doing here?

This is not a good time.

I know how to calm them down.

Please, I'd like to be alone.

Dad…

I know what these people think about you.

I also know you're sitting
on a powder keg right now.

Cristian is a problem.

Yes, I can take care of him for you,
and it won't be traced back to you.

I'm taking care of it.

How?

There's no need for you to know that.

I promise you my idea is going to work.

Can you say the same about yours?

Come, I want to show you something.

THE SCARE

UMA: Have you checked out
this drawing of the Scare?

The one who drew it doesn't know a thing.

Did you find something?

Not much.

The young Niktu who saved his people
was a fearsome warrior.

Does it say how he saved them?

No.

But it says here that at the time,
the neighboring towns were being founded.

Lomas of Terlamit
and El Relincho were the first.

That doesn't help.

Is there anything else?

Your dad's notes are much more useful.

We should keep looking for those.

Fine, let's solve the riddle.

-Yeah.
-[thud]

Did you hear that?

I'll go.

Is nobody going to stop me?

I'm about to do something stupid.

[yelps]

ERIC: Auntie!

What a surprise.

What are you doing here?

Huh…

Welcome to Tierra Incognita's
Headquarters, where…!

What is it?

What are you planning?

And don't say "nothing",
because you're acting strange.

-Both of you.
-I told you so.

We need all the help we can get.

Help with what?

[sighs]

Auntie, the Scare is real.

I already told you, it's only a myth.

No, the Scare is real.

Well, you're as imaginative
as your mother.

I miss her too,

but you have to understand--

We're not making it up!

I saw it eat Sabrina.

We all saw it eat Javier.

"Eat"?

I don't know what you're doing here,
but I forbid you from coming back.

Let's go.

The Scare is the reason
my mom and dad are gone.

The reason the boys are gone.

Eric, are you listening to yourself?

-What did you do to him?
-Me? Nothing.

I saved him from the Scare,
you should be thanking me.

Oh…

We can show you.

[electric buzzing]

I didn't know of this place.

Do you believe us now?

It's not news that your father built
strange and hidden places in the park.

Now I know why you are how you are.

She's really "tech."

-"Tech"?
-It's a compliment.

It's there.

There's nothing here.

She's definitely a tech.

Could you translate, please?

ERIC: It's from a book.

It means we're skeptical.
We're too logical.

Oh. And what am I supposed to believe in?
An empty room?

It's gone.

WARNING
CARBON DIOXIDE

Axel…

whatever you did, it can be fixed.

But I need to know
what happened to Javier.

I already told you.

It was the lights, right?

-Did you go on the rides too?
-No.

Dad, I'm fine, I've never felt better.

Javier is the Scare.

The Scare?

I know it sounds like a lie,
but it's true.

Are you listening to yourself?

You're the one who's not listening.

Let's say it's true,

how is that supposed to help me?

Have some patience.

You'll understand.

FOOD TRANSPORT

FRAGILE

Eric: This is bad.

What's bad is for us to be here.

You didn't tell us the Scare
could eat an entire town.

It's only a legend,
how many times do I have to tell you.

What could have happened?
Let's think.

-The door was unscathed.
-The window too.

Someone had to open the door.

You're being paranoid!

-The only one who knew besides us--
-Axel!

Stop it!

What are you playing at?

-We're not playing.
-What you're looking for doesn't exist.

I have proof.

No, Eric, stop it!

Take a look at this.

It's as if the heat was turned on.

This place is…

[growls]

What is this?

I hope you don't get me
into even more trouble.

Relax, trust me.

-Hello.
-Hey!

-Axel.
-How are you doing, Cristian?

-You wanted to see me?
-DANIEL: Yes.

What is all this?

I thought we could unwind a little
after everything that has happened.

You want some more?
Let's carry on.

For the future.

[sighs]

CAPE QWERT NEWS
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES

NO ENTRY

You don't have to give us a ride home.

If that video is real,
you can't be here on your own.

-Of course it's real.
-But we need to investigate it.

What you need
is to get away from this place.

-But, Auntie!
-Don't "but, Auntie" me.

Hop in, come on.

What about the Scare?

We have to find it.

If Axel did take it,
it could be dangerous.
