A NETFLIX SERIES

Trapped in repetition.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

At six.

At three, Eva. Your sister can't come back alone, can she?

-Come on, Dad! -Don't give me that.

Thank you, Sofía. I love you too.

I'm also dying to be at the bonfires with you.

-Hmm. -At five o'clock.

And if she wants to leave earlier, you go with her, hmm?

-Be careful, both of you. -See you later.

Can I get a kiss?

-And stay together. -Don't worry. We're like flies on shit.

-You're so basic. -You're so gross!

What?

I'm gonna take good care of you, sis.

I don't need your lame protection.

-Ah, zip it. -You're a pain in the ass.

Nice house, right?

Mm, it smells like you.

-And in the middle of town. -Let's go.

The little one has your eyes.

Put the photo back.

The two of you should be delighted.

We've been waiting for this moment for such a long time.

Waiting for you to complete the fifth veil after 20 years.

Where are the others?

Copito showed them the way to the mine.

Are we going now?

Wait for us outside.

Elena, we can buy ourselves a little more time.

Think about Eva and Sofía.

Don't you think that's what I'm doing?

If I don't do the fifth veil, they'll go after the girls.

MAYOR OF FERIA MISSING

They're fanatics. You know what they're capable of.

DO YOU WANT HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF?

-You married the wrong woman. -No.

-I'm sorry. -No.

No.

I can regret many things.

I'm pretty good at it.

But not having found you.

His Excellency the head of state

has suffered the following incidents due to his illness.

At 10:00 p.m., he had an episode of abdominal distention,

that was treated with his regular medication.

During the night and early hours, he remained stable.

Pardo Palace, October 25th, 1975.

A FUTURE FOR FERIA

NO TO THE CLOSURE

YOU WON'T CLOSE THE MINE

It's not a good idea for an asthmatic to smoke, right?

Yeah, you're right, Victoriano.

Yeah, I know.

-Mr. Mayor. Mr. Barnés-- -God willing, our leader will recover.

I don't know what Spain would become without him.

Yes, sure. Yes. God willing, yes.

Oh-- Uh… Mr. Mayor, with the miners like this,

it's impossible to go into the mine and measure.

Lozano!

Escort the topographer so he can do his job.

-Fine. -No blunder, okay?

The way the country is right now, I don't want trouble with the unions.

Yes. All right.

Luis, Antonio, come with me.

Marcos, you're coming too.

Let's go.

Come on! Get out of here.

Get out of here! Get out!

-Come on, no violence, okay? -No violence, okay?

No violence! No violence!

-No violence, okay? -Calm down, okay?

Hey! Elías! Hey.

You okay? Elías! Look at me.

Marcos.

Focus on what you're here for.

Father.

Father?

-How are you? -Fine.

-I brought you figs. -Oh!

I know you like them.

Thank you, my dear.

Look.

Ah.

Franco's dying.

That changes nothing.

They mentioned amnesty.

You won't have to hide here anymore.

I'm not hiding, Elena.

I stopped hiding years ago.

We've walked a path, my daughter.

One step away from the light.

From eternal power.

How long have you been in here? Huh?

Since '42?

That's 33 years. You haven't had the chance to live, Father.

-They didn't let you-- -Listen to me.

What you call "life" is a bad dream.

You've completed three veils.

You still have two more to reach the light,

open the doors of the kingdom and free us from pain and suffering.

You're one of the chosen ones.

You're the key to the light.

We should place the dynamite with the miners in their houses.

Or we blow up the houses and have an open-pit mine, and close the mine down.

-Wait, what? -They prefer to continue in there,

well, they've been warned, worse for them.

I hope they don't come crying when they get blown up.

-You're such a cannibal. -Everyone gets what they're looking for.

146.2…

666 in inches…

Victoriano, is that you?

Is someone there?

Access to the mine is forbidden. I'll tell the police.

Hey.

Hey! What are you doing here? You're not allowed to be down here.

The mine is closed. Do you hear me? Wait!

Wait!

Do you hear me? The mine is closed off. Where are you?

You're absolutely crazy.

I swear, Victoriano, there was a woman.

How long have we been in Feria? Two months? Two months and no whores.

-How could they send us? -I don't know why I tell you anything.

We're only human, Pablo. We need to empty our balls.

If we don't, all that stuff rises up and poisons your brain.

Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Thank you, doctor.

I'm gonna have a glass of wine before going to the hostel.

Save your money, come on.

Pablo, come with me to a whorehouse in Córdoba.

-Yeah. See you later. -Oh, screw you, man.

Hey, excuse me. Can I get a glass of white wine?

You're from the mining company, aren't you?

Well, we won't serve you here.

Serve him a glass of wine. Woman, come on, this man's just a lackey.

-My treat. -Well, ha-di-ha.

-You're one of the cops, huh? -Yes.

-Thanks. -You're welcome. It's okay.

I understand you, you know?

People blame us for everything, but we're just doing our jobs,

-just like they are in the mine. -Mm.

That's enough. All that crap about "we don't have a choice."

That's something the fucking dictatorship's made us think.

-Of course we can choose. -My brother-in-law, Elías. A real pain.

-Honey, tell your brother to shut up? -This guy.

Aren't there other people in the bar?

-Well, maybe I agree with him. -Yeah, that's right!

Since he put on that uniform, it's as if he can't think straight, right?

Hey, the company wants the mine to keep operating. I don't know.

Yes, but evicting miners to have an open-pit mine?

Right? Huh? Know what that is? That's a lie, that's what it is.

They want us out of the way, but we won't let them.

We'll lock ourselves in the pit if that's what it takes,

like the miners in Pamplona.

Fuck, yeah. We will!

Who wants to join me in a toast because Franco's on his last legs?

-Come on! -Olé!

-Whoo! -Cheers!

-Come on! -This round's on him!

Hang on, hang on. Elena, come on.

Give me the bottle. Come on, Elena.

Elena! Elena, give me that bottle, please.

-Hey, hey. -You'll be in trouble, girl.

-Nobody'll tell Sergeant Lozano. -Come on. Hand it over.

You won't, right?

-Come on. -There you go.

-Here's to the bastard's edema! -Come on.

Olé!

Hey. Hey! Excuse me.

Yeah?

What were you doing this morning at the mine?

You're mistaken. I'm a teacher, not a miner.

No, I'm not mistaken. I know it was you.

We're gonna blow up those houses.

It's not safe for you to be there. There might be subsidence.

I already told you. You got the wrong woman.

Victoriano! Hey!

Hey! A bit more to the right.

-Okay, there. -Yes. A bit more.

-More? -More!

Wait, not so much. What are you doing?

Hold still.

…severe electrocardiograph alterations

that were temporarily controlled by the cardiology unit

that successfully collaborated together during the surgery.

During the highly dangerous and complex operation,

several new ulcers were discovered in the stomach lining

that were bleeding profusely.

For that reason alone, the doctors then proceeded to a gastrectomy,

-the result of which… -Sir. Sergeant Lozano just called.

-We will give you more… -All of the houses at the mine

-are now evacuated. -…head of state.

Thank you, Samuel.

In other news…

-Can I go this time? -Of course.

I want you to come and see Elena's fourth veil.

We're really close to the light.

You are also going to be part of this new world.

…second space probe to land on the planet Venus.

The probe touched down…

I know Barnés is up to something.

You know his secretary, Samuel. Ask him what it's all about.

You aren't gonna say anything? I don't know.

I mean, Elías has friends in the press.

Things can no longer be swept under the carpet like before, Marcos.

Come on, man!

Just what I needed to hear.

Come on! Jesus fucking Christ.

And he gets angry, on top of it all.

Just sit down.

Ugh.

Weren't you a teacher?

I'm giving Verónica a hand. She couldn't come today.

But there was no need.

-No one's in the mood. -Yeah.

Want a drink?

I'm not happy they were evicted from their houses either.

Mm.

Yeah, but you're still gonna blow them up.

Well, sometimes you are a part of something you don't like, and…

I don't know.

What can I say? It's not easy to leave.

That's true.

We're a couple of cowards.

Both of us.

Cheers.

I doubt you are.

Mm.

You don't know me much.

Others wouldn't say the same.

Why don't you let me know you a bit more?

You're passing through.

I wish I could also leave this town behind, but…

What's your secret, huh?

I really love this song.

It's closing time.

What mess are you in?

Why were you in the mine earlier?

You know what? I can be a real pain.

And I won't stop till you tell me.

It doesn't concern you.

Go, please.

Slow down a little, Copito.

Can you imagine?

After so many precautions, getting stopped for speeding?

Hmm?

So, where were the others?

Copito left some of them in the forest.

And others by the roadside, in sleeping bags.

They were very careful not to go to town.

We had our problems, Pablo,

but Elena wants you to be part of this.

-For me, all is forgotten. -What the fuck do you have to forget?

Take that path, Copito.

We have to go, Elena.

They're waiting for us.

Copito!

-Go, Elena, go! -Come on, Copito!

Go to the reservoir! Take Eva and Sofía with you.

But you hurt me, Pablo.

It's unavoidable.

We already tried 20 years ago.

Sorry.

Luz, come on. Help me.

The tunnel was closed.

We've been digging it out for a year.

Copito's beard has gone as white as Luz after being down there.

And Pablo?

Want to go back to the temple?

It's been too long since the last time.

Who are you?

We are children of the light. We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

-Where do you come from? -We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are children of the light. We are its chosen ones.

Welcome, Elena.

Today is a special day. It's the day of the fourth veil.

Today Dekta and you will become one. Where do you come from?

We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are the children of the light. We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

Where do you come from?

We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are children of the light. We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

When we denude ourselves of our flesh, we find ourselves in the relief.

Dekta has chosen you.

It's going to give you the knowledge of the light.

Candela.

Don't be afraid.

Undress for him.

You who preside… preside…

over the hidden mysteries of the Supreme Triad…

…and who shine during the night, Behemoth.

Sovereign of death,

bearing your mother's symbol,

I'm getting ready to cross your empire.

Elena, leave your emotions behind.

Together with Dekta, you are ready to complete the fifth veil.

Oh, my child.

It's all over, hmm?

Let's change your clothes to wash you so you can rest.

Fortunate the wombs that have not conceived

and the breasts that haven't suckled.

What have we done?

-It's going to kill her. -Yeah, I know.

It's never been like this.

Tell Valentín to leave Candela alone. She's your daughter.

Do you think he'll listen?

We've gone too far.

He only cares about the arrival of the kingdom.

If the price for getting the light is Candela,

I will not be there.

I will not go back to the temple.

It won't hurt anyone else again.

[drawer opens[

I swear.

Samuel.

You got a light?

-Keep it. -Thank you.

How's Candela? I heard she was sick.

Nothing serious. She'll be all right.

Not like Franco, poor guy.

The only thing that's clear is that his time is up.

Times change, Marcos.

But what's coming doesn't have to be worse.

-Well, I guess it's like everything. -Hmm.

Depends on what side you're on.

For people like Barnés, it'll be better. That's for sure.

That's why he's mayor.

I could help you be in the right place, Marcos.

Where do you come from?

We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are the children of the light. We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

I know you dream about reaching the light.

Today is the big day.

I'll lift the fifth veil and I'll open the doors to the kingdom of light.

All your pain and your suffering will disappear.

We have been getting ready, Elena.

All of us.

We have left behind things that tie us.

What did you leave?

My daughter's in the hospital.

She was dying.

-What God allows a world like this? -Your sacrifice makes you special.

You will be the recipient.

Dekta will live in you.

And you?

Why are you here?

There, uh… there's no place for us anywhere.

Not back home in Yugoslavia, nor here.

And my brother, Goran, met-- met Samuel, and…

and there is a better world.

All I want is to get out of this hell.

I can't stand it anymore.

I don't want the boy in the temple. He's not ready.

It will be as you wish.

What's gonna happen to Pablo?

He won't come in, but I want to see him.

Fetch Pablo.

Elena wants to say goodbye to you.

Don't leave me out! Goran, please!

Calm down, Halid! You need to embrace the light.

Then I'll come back for you.

-Don't leave me. -I won't.

-Don't leave me alone! -Easy!

-Take it easy! -Don't leave me here alone!

Goran!

Goran, open up!

Goran!

Elena!

Elena!

Why didn't you leave for the reservoir?

And then what? Hmm?

You know you can't stop it.

No.

No, I'll go with you and…

I won't let you die alone.

Elena.

Do it for Eva and Sofía.

Please, do it for them.

Do it for me.

I know that at this time,

my voice is trembling with emotion as it reaches your homes--

Marcos.

-When is it gonna be? -Tonight.

They wanna gather us In the mine.

They're up to something, but I don't know, Samuel didn't wanna tell me.

Don't go, Marcos. Don't.

And what if they wanna send tanks out?

Franco is dead.

Besides, wasn't I a coward? Huh?

Well, I'll be behind you, unseen, okay?

And this?

Where's your camera?

What if something goes wrong?

-I don't wanna be alone. -That's not gonna happen.

It'll be in every newspaper in the country.

Don't worry. Hey.

I love you.

Come on. Let's go.

The charges in the north sector will be ready shortly.

This is gonna be a fucking great show.

Even old Franco will see this from heaven.

You mind if I go into town for a while?

-I have to get some nicotine in my lungs. -Okay.

Elena, what's wrong?

What's wrong? Elena!

Elena.

Elena, please. Elena!

Stop following me.

It must be done tonight. You can't leave.

Are you gonna stop me? Huh?

Why are you losing faith?

Valentín needs you, Elena.

-You are the key. -Didn't you see Candela?

My father's crazy. You are too.

You all are. Don't you see what's on the other side?

I see what's here.

Every day, my leg hurts more.

Soon I won't even be able to stand up.

I'll end up in a wheelchair.

I'm dying, Elena.

-Like everyone. -Lift the fifth veil and cross the gates.

Proclaim the new world, and free us from pain.

Do you want to stay in this vicious circle?

Be born, love, get sick, die?

-We can break it. You know we can do this. -Step back.

You can't run away.

Dekta will find you and bring you back to us.

I'll wait for you in the square.

-Just go. -I know you'll come.

Get out!

Hey!

You okay?

We're in November. The water must be freezing!

Hey. It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay. You're all right. Come here. It's okay.

You're still freezing.

What's wrong with you, Elena?

Was it that man in the car?

Who, then?

What are you so afraid of?

I'm part of something very dangerous.

You wouldn't understand.

Get away from me, Pablo.

-I hurt people. I'm not a good person. -Hey. Elena. Elena, Elena.

I'm here.

I'm with you.

Promise me tomorrow you'll forget me.

You'll take your stuff and leave Feria.

Promise me.

I promise you.

-Where do you come from? -We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are the children of the light. We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

Today is the day we've been waiting for.

Today Elena will complete the fifth veil.

The blood from the sacrifice of blood will open the doors

for the perfect one to summon the Solitary King.

And he will bring the kingdom.

A world that will free us from this nightmare.

We have walked the path.

We have reached the fifth veil.

But to the gates of the Solitary King, a traitor has come.

Easy! Easy, Marcos. They gave you something!

That fucking thing has done something to you! Stop, Marcos!

Leave me alone!

Stop it, Marcos.

Where do you come from?

We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are the children of the light.

We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

Where do you come from?

We are from the light.

-Who are you? -We are the children of the light.

We are its chosen ones.

What is the sign of your father in you?

It is a movement and a relief.

Where do you come from?

We are from the light.

Who are you?

We are the children of the light.

-We are its chosen ones. -Elías. Elías!

-What is the sign of your father in you? -Look at me.

-Elías, look at me! Look at me! -It is a movement and a relief.

The traitor has been revealed.

Now to open the doors…

we must offer the blood of a sacrifice.

Take her away.

Go!

Let's go. Let's go, we have to get out.

-No, Dad! -Come on. Come on.

-Dad, no! -Let's go.

What the fuck was that?

Elena?

What was that down there?

It was hell.

Elías.

-Hey. Calm down. -What happened?

-Calm down. -What happened?

None of us understand what happened down there.

-I strangled him. -Take it easy.

Elías.

Elías.

At the beginning, it made sense.

My father taught us that the kingdom existed.

A place with no pain.

I don't know how, but Dekta crossed the altar and got inside of him.

I don't know if it's a god or--or a demon,

but it turned him into a puppet.

There's-- there's nothing left of him.

They fooled you, Elena.

They fooled all of us.

There is no better place.

There are more beings like Dekta that want to cross over here.

To avoid it…

I must sacrifice myself.

Cross the altar and close the gates.

-That's what I should have done. -Elena.

I have almost all the charges ready and waiting.

We'll bury the temple.

But my father…

I am a being of light and I live without pain.

I am a being of light and live without pain.

Elena?

They all left but you.

We have to complete the fifth veil. We'll open the door.

What's wrong with you?

You have to help me.

It's over.

It's done.

The institution I embody integrates all Spaniards.

And today, at this transcendental hour,

I summon you.

Because we are all involved in the duty of serving Spain.

-The King wants to be king… -Come on.

…of everyone at the same time,

and in everyone's culture, history, and tradition.

By addressing the Spanish people as King from this Parliament…

-They'll keep looking for Elías. -But they won't find him.

They think he's behind Barnés and his wife's disappearance.

What if someone talks? Huh?

-No. -…go down in history, the name…

No. We all need to move on.

…will be a milestone in Spanish history that we…

But how are we gonna keep this a secret for so long?

And how am I gonna look Verónica in the eye?

He was her brother.

It wasn't you, Marcos.

It wasn't you.

…remembering him…

If we want to keep living in peace,

we not only have to forgive.

but also forget.

…his entire life to this service.

If we all stay together, we will have done our duty.

The day has come for the fifth veil.

Elena, the perfect one, key to the light.

Open the realm.

Solitary King,

bond of blindness, unconscious oblivion.

I salute you, first power.

What's wrong, Elena?

The story of the world is a repetition.

Today, here,

I'll do what I should've done 20 years ago.

Put an end to this repetition.

There is no light on the other side.

Only darkness.

And I won't be the one who lets it in.

Are you doing the right thing?

And them? They're here for you.

Bring the Solitary King, or they'll die. They're suffocating.

Finish the fifth veil.

We all must make a sacrifice.

Do you really think you can close the door to God?

This is over!

You don't have me any more.

You're not the only one, Elena.

The next one will be Sofía.

Mom?

Sofía.

Sofía, run!

Go away!

What?

This isn't real. Run, now!

Sofía!

The world is like a dragon biting its own tail.

We're trapped in repetition.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

Be born, love, get sick, die.

You can break the circle.

You can open the gates to the kingdom.

We trust you.
