02x04 - Voltan, the silver one

[bunniefuu]

I need you to tell me
about the missing people.

PREVIOUSLY

The files are on your desk.

I'd like you tell me
a bit more about Tierra Incógnita.

Mom.

Don't say anything.

What's with you, Carmen?

She's here on Daniel's behalf.

The forensic physician had to attend
to some personal matter.

Everything points towards
a Niktu being reflected within El Espanto

in the cave paintings.

That's weird since,
according to my books...

VOLTÁN
THE ARGENT

...all of the Niktu managed to escape.

El Espanto moves
around the park and caverns--

Shut up!

[heavy breathing]

[slamming]

Come on, Eric!

Trust me.

He wants to get eaten by El Espanto.

[roaring]

[pained yelling]

[groaning]

BAH CIRCUS
SATURDAY 16 - 9:00 PM

Mom.

Where is she?

[groan]

[mumbling]

[banging]

Mom!

Trust me.

I don't know how much time I've got,
but I think I can get you out.

I know how to get out.

We need to wait
for the faceless one to leave.

Not from the wardrobe.

I mean this nightmare.

[music theme]

TIME

We need to find something to...

Found it!

[panting]

[expl*si*n]

Eric...

-Harder!
-Hurry up!

[banging]

[chuckling]

Escape?

How?

With this.

Do you remember it?

Tickets for the circus.

BAH CIRCUS

You liked the circus.

Right?

Yes.

A lot!

It only came to town...

once a year.

I didn't want to miss it.

[sob]

Where did you get these?

In the candy jar.

But...

What do these tickets
have to do with this?

-[thunder]
-[sigh]

That's it.

The storm.

Try to remember.

Whenever the circus came to town,

did you go?

No.

Come on, Julia, get in.

No, Dad! I wanna go to the circus!

The only place you're going to
is upstairs.

JULIA: No, no, no!

-SANTIAGO: Come on.
-JULIA: I don't wanna go upstairs!

-SANTIAGO: Come on.
-JULIA: No, no, no!

SANTIAGO: You just don't get it, Julia.

-JULIA: No! Let's go downstairs!
-SANTIAGO: Come here.

Get in here.

You're going to stay here
until you learn not to run away.

Please forgive me, Dad.

The punishment will be over
whenever I say so.

No, Dad! No!

Dad! Forgive me, Dad!

[Julia screaming]

Dad!

-Dad!
-[banging]

I shouldn't have run away.

I know.

You already asked for forgiveness.

[chains rattling]

All I wanted was...

You just wanted to see the circus.

The punishment will be over
whenever I say so.

[rumbling]

[both chuckling]

Thank you.

Mom?

[pained grunt]

[water dripping]

[roar]

[heavy breathing]

[receding scream]

POLICE

POLICE
AGENT TERESA SALINAS

ERIC: Mom!

Mom!

-UMA: Eric!
-PABLO: Eh?

No, no, no!

-What are you doing?
-Can El Espanto speak?

It is Eric.

We should make sure it's him.

What's wrong with you?

You locked us, that's what's wrong.

You're right, Pablo.

Maybe the cold will help him remember.

I understand your anger,
but I had to do it.

No, you didn't have to!

I managed to get Mom
back from the nightmare!

What?

Haven't you seen her?

What are you talking about?

How did you do it?

I got her to face her fear.

Just like you and the mirrors.

You faced your fear and thus defeated it.

I helped Mom do the same, and it worked.

What about El Espanto?

The lights were shining.

I saw it.

It ate--

TERESA: What are you doing here?

It's her!

No! Everything's fine.

Put that down.

What are you doing?

Forgive him, officer.
We came here to take pictures and...

he got scared.

We were already leaving.

I know her. She's new.

Yes.

I came to help.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

What's with the fire extinguisher?

It was lying around.

We were going to leave it at the exit.

Yeah, but I guess we'll leave it with you.

Pablo.

[clang]

You should leave.

Thanks.

You left us locked,

you didn't apologize,
and on top of that you're giving orders?

[tongue click]

He's right.

We need to find Mom.

Eric!

Mom!

Calm down, Eric.

She should be here.

I don't understand. I freed her.

-I want to see her, too.
-But--

But you need to stop this.

Forgive me.

Is this...

what you told me about?

[door opening]

THE CHRONICLES OF LUIS TERLAMIT

Did Grandpa lock her here?

And it caused her nightmares all her life.

CARMEN: Eric? Uma? Are you home?

Come here, Aunt.

What is it?

What's this?

Mom did it.

When she was young,
she fled to see the circus.

Grandpa caught her and locked her here.

I knew that she fled
and that Grandpa punished her, but...

Did Grandma tell you this?

No.

I saw it.

What did you see?

Whenever El Espanto feeds, I can see...

inside of it.

All this time, Mom...

was trapped in a nightmare
about this memory of her childhood.

Julia's been alive within El Espanto
for eight years?

ERIC: That's what I've been
trying to tell you.

But I managed to free her.

I think so.

I've been looking for her,
but she's neither here nor at the park.

You promised not to go
to the park anymore.

Sorry.

ERIC: I also promised Mom
that I'd help her.

But we need to hurry. El Espanto is loose.

If Daniel gets to it...

There was a policewoman at the park.

A new one?

I think I met her. She was here.

Hello.

-I didn't hear you arrive.
-[Carmen sighing]

Hi, Grandma.

Is there any tea left?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Let's drink some.

Eh... Eric.

Your friend Federico came to see you.

He waited for you,
but he got tired and left.

Okay, let's go to the kitchen.

Federico?

No, no, no!

He took Guillermo's phone.

"At the bitterest place,
you'll open the sinister gate

and from a wall of faces

you'll remove the green-eyed one."

There are skulls
at the center of the labyrinth.

Those are basically faces.

Yeah, but I already found that
at the labyrinth.

I don't think it'll repeat.

Makes sense.

I'm not sure we should go on.

What? Why?

This is Eric's dad's notebook.

It's weird for him not to be here.

I'm not calling him.

Why are you looking at me that way?

He should be apologizing.

He put us all in danger.

LILA: I made mistakes, too.

I went to the park without telling you
and you all forgave me.

Have you never committed a mistake?

What happened?

Eric got really angry...

and then forgave me.

[door opening]

Federico!

Where is it?

FEDERICO: What are you talking about?

What did you do with Guillermo's phone?

Are you looking
for a phone that isn't yours?

Don't touch me.

Don't play dumb.

So it was true. You Dalaras are all mad.

Don't talk about my family!

PABLO: Eric, Stop!

-Eric!
-Stop, stop! What's with you?

LILA: Calm down! What's wrong with you?

Federico got into my house.
He's with Axel!

They took Guillermo's phone.

What they did doesn't matter.

You can't act like this!

You criticize Axel,
but you're becoming like him.

-Are you serious?
-Yes, I am. What's wrong with you?

Me? What's wrong with you?

Enough, both of you!

You're supposed to be friends.

Tell that to him.

He forgot about our friendship
when he almost got himself eaten.

LILA: Eric!

You again? What is it?

My name is Teresa.

I didn't get the chance
to introduce myself.

Well, you can keep
the introductions to yourself.

I don't care
about whatever you've got to say.

It's important for you to listen.

Okay?

I know what you told my mom.

I don't buy that about investigating
my sister's death after eight years.

I'm investigating
the resent disappearances,

but I think it may all be connected.

No.

My family had nothing to do with this.

I ask you not to come back,
and not to get near my nephew and niece.

Thank you.

Carmen.

I'm asking you to shut up for one minute
and listen to me.

I'm not okay with how
some things go at the station, either.

LILA: Would you explain
that thing with Federico?

He came to my room and stole that phone.
He can't just do that!

I know, but I don't understand
your reaction!

You're not like that.

He needs to learn that if he's with Axel,
it won't end well for him.

Eric!

I don't know!

I don't know.

I don't know what's happening to me.
I feel...

different. As if there was something...

[sigh]

I need to free everyone whatever it takes.

What's wrong?

What's that, Eric?

Show it to me.

-That's--
-El Espanto.

LILA: When it attacked you--

Pablo cut it, but some of it remained.

It grows whenever El Espanto feeds.

LILA: I'm sorry.

I'm not feeling well.

Don't worry.

We'll get everyone back. You'll see.

But you need to be more careful.

If you go on like this, your friends
will be the ones to disappear.

I found it in the park,
right outside the mansion.

The search was supposed
to have been peaceful.

No one said anything about shots fired.

What does this mean?

I don't know.

Everything's so bizarre...

starting with the bodies they passed off
as your sister and brother-in-law.

You're new around here.

You'll get to understand
how things work in Cabo Qwert.

Is this about Cristian?

Yeah, that's part of it.

But that's nothing.

I need you to be more straightforward.

I could tell you
everything about this town,

but you wouldn't believe me.

You can tell me anything.

[chain rattling]

"Place the chairs correctly, Federico.
Yeah, is that okay?

Yes, thanks.

Remember, clean the bar,
don't leave a single stain on it."

Don't you spend too much time
talking to yourself?

Why does my father ask me to open
when nobody's coming?

People are afraid.

And they're right to be afraid.

Since when do you care about people?

What's going on with you?

You sent me to get that phone.

You promised me some things,
but that's all I got, promises.

-You used me.
-AXEL: No!

I didn't use you. I just didn't know
whether I could trust you.

Don't be like that. Calm down.

Look.

I'll show you a secret.

Okay?

I found this in Guillermo's phone.

[roar]

[roar]

That's very well done. It looks real.

It is real.
That's what you were looking for.

[roar]

But... you need to make it public.
Everyone needs to know.

Did you show it to your dad?

He knew but he didn't say anything?

It's a secret.

I don't understand.

Why do you want that video
if no one's going to learn about it?

It's not the right time, not yet.

We need to be patient.

What is he doing here?

CALIXTO: He's here to provide
the honesty we deserve, Daniel.

Honesty? About what?

RODOLFO: We've lost all trust in you.

You betrayed us.

What are you talking about?

You concealed key information
about El Espanto.

El Espanto?

El Espanto is but a myth.

We know that's not true.

I don't understand
what I'm being accused of.

I did nothing but protect my people
and honor this group.

We cannot allow you
to blemish centuries-old history.

Cabo Qwert is undergoing a crisis.

Those disappearances haven't stopped.

Will you believe him over me?

What did you tell them?

Santiago had nothing to do with this.

The problem lies somewhere else.

DOLORES: I want to believe you, Daniel,

but you need to tell us everything first.

I was making progress
on the investigation.

All I'm asking for is more time.

CALIXTO: Those investigations
led us nowhere,

and your methods were questionable.

RODOLFO: It'd be better for you
to accept what's happening.

Santiago will take back
his place in Cabo Qwert

and you're out.

[panting]

This surely was your daughter's doing.

Can't you see that you're
putting the blame on the wrong person?

It's already been decided.

I suggest you take your leave.

Now.

[gasps]

I'm sorry. I thought you had heard me.

Did nobody teach you to knock first?

Yes, but the door was open.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to apologize for yesterday.

For everything. I went too far.

What else?

You were right. We need each other
and we need to work together.

And?

And...

I couldn't have made it
this far without you.

And?

And the government is being controlled
by Jovian reptilians.

Good.

You know I cannot allow
anything bad to happen to you, right?

Do you understand?

I do. Uma said the same thing.

I like your sister more each day.

Do you forgive me?

[sigh]

You're forgiven.

But everyone knows that reptilians
have nothing to do with Jupiter!

Come on, sit down and help me.

I found this.

POLICE

[Daniel sighing]

What are we doing here?

Do you know who published
that graveyard video?

-No.
-[grunt]

Why do you want to know?

That's already been solved, no?

I'm sure it was Eric's aunt.

I need some confirmation.

Can you help me find out?

How would I do it?

Do you think hacking is easy?

DANIEL: But of course.

I don't know what I was thinking.

What's wrong?

Your impulses...

are to blame for everything.

Why call me when you could tell me
not to meddle in your affairs?

[snort]

DANIEL: You're right.

Go.

You're completely useless.

[sigh]

Have you found anything?

All I found is that bitter is
one of the five basic tastes.

What are the other four?

Sweet, salty, sour, and umami.

Want some?

No, thanks. I don't like sweet stuff.

There are saltine crackers in the kitchen.

Check this.

HOME
SWEET HOME

Do you get it?

My mother's embroidery?

HOME
SWEET HOME

The bitterest place is
the opposite of a home.

What house is not a real house?

The haunted mansion!

Those are bad news...

HOME
SWEET HOME

My parents told me many things
about this game.

It's the most dangerous of them all...

so I'm going in alone.

No!

What did we just say?

Let's go together, okay?

[water dripping]

[snarling]

[water dripping]

[roar]

[snarling]

What do you know about that creature?

-[snarling]
-We need to leave!

[snarling]

Weren't you told not to walk
into restricted areas?

[snarling]

[roar]

-[yell]
-[roar]

Let's get in through the exit.

We can't.

I never found it.

That's because there's no exit.

[energy buzzing]

El Espanto... El Espanto!

[groan]

Eric!

[groan]

Mom!

[panting]

Where are you?

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Don't be afraid.

I'm the same as you.
