Radio Mediterráneo, you are on the air, Sandra.

Hi, I wanted to request a song,

for my friend Eva.

It's just that she's going home at the end of the summer

and I'm going to miss her.

Of course, Sandra, what song would you like us to play for her?

Any by Mecano. It's our favorite group.

"Cruz de Navajas", for example, we love it.

Connor here, does anyone copy?

Connor here, does anyone copy?

Here Sonny Crockett, speaking from Miami.

Sonny Crockett, really? You are more like Rico.

Yes, Rico's your father. -Come on, cut it out.

In 20 minutes at the library. -Okay, over and out.

Where are you going?

Aren't you staying for breakfast? -I can't, I'm in a hurry.

Ciao. -In a hurry for what?

What is wrong?

Oh, well... I brought fartons for ten.

Javi... -What's wrong?

There are only 15 days left

until the end of the Universal Exposition

and it is still one of the great events of 1992.

He flew into Seville

and became the soul of the Expo:

Curro, that endearing bird

with a rainbow-colored beak and a long plume,

lives on the island of La Cartuja -Hey, Zeta!

...and is already part of its charm.

In other news,

the employers' association is threatening to encourage

two million businessmen against the government.

So, what do you think?

About what? About the job in Valencia?

No, Mario, about the melting of the poles.

Yes, the job in Valencia, what do you think?

Well, it is in Valencia, isn't it?

Well, yes, in Valencia, where things happen.

The biggest thing here is when it rains on a Thursday

and we have to go to the flea market

and pull the vans out of the mud.

But there is real research there,

and there I will be with Samuel, with my mentor,

who trusts me, who says I have intuition...

And I will have autonomy.

And not here?

Not here, Mario, not here. Here I am a secretary,

nobody pays any attention to me.

I'd still like to try it for a year at least, you know?

What do you think?

You seem to have made up your mind, haven't you?

Well, I think so.

Only one thing seems wrong to me... I don't know if you are one

to live in Valencia, right?

I don't know, aren't you going to miss all this?

What is "all this," Mario?

Do you mean the town?

Well, yes, the town, the... Right? You were born here.

People have gotten used to seeing you, to having you around.

Of course, that's the problem,

people have gotten used to me,

but I don't know if they really see me.

Do you believe that?

Well, yes.

Yes, Mario, I feel I am stuck,

and not only professionally, but personally as well.

And all the time I'm waiting for something to happen

but then it never does, you know?

Of course I'm going to miss this.

A lot.

Yes?

Ramón, yes, she's leaving the house now, okay?

Yes. I guess she's going there. Hold on.

What about the X-Men? Javi, as Wolverine, I could be Cyclops...

I'll be Professor Xavier. The same thing every year,

I just don't get any girls. -Guys, we're back home,

how did it happen? -How about a werewolf?

Yeah, I have it here, but it's... -Sorry, how did what happen?

Coming back... being alive...

The last thing I remember is being in the hotel

And all of a sudden... the Abyss.

Remember what?

What are you talking about? What is it? A new videogame?

It just happened to me.

That's why Zeta didn't say hello to me.

Why would that bastard say hello?

Javi, you seem a little strange. Are you okay?

Okay, listen to me,

maybe what I'm about to tell you is going to cause a short-circuit,

but tomorrow my sister will get kidnapped,

and Eva, and Malena at the full moon party.

We have to stop it.

Kidnapped? By whom?

The Undead,

some guys who live infiltrated in the town.

That would be such a cool costume.

Are you being serious? You're kidding us.

No.

Okay. Are you telling us

there are zombies living among us?

Like who? Give me an example.

Okay, okay, let's say it's true,

your sister and her friends are going to get kidnapped.

How do you know that? -Because I have lived it.

The three of us have lived it and so has Zeta.

Again with the bully.

Look, I have no fucking idea how it happened, okay?

But yesterday we were in 1995,

dead,

and today we are alive in 1992.

Have you traveled back in time,

like Marty McFly?

Where did you park the DeLorean?

Okay, if it's not true, how do I know about you?

About me?

Yes, your thing,

that you like boys.

I don't like boys.

Álvaro, it's okay, in fact, you met one and experienced

something incredible... -Shut up!

That is not true.

Look, I just don't have the time for this.

I have to prevent my sister's kidnapping.

Javi!

Javi, wait.

Bea!

You dropped this.

You may need it.

Where is your grandmother?

What the hell do you care?

Olivia, please, it's important.

I have to talk to her. -Well, at home I guess.

Okay.

What the heck is up with him?

I don't know.

Who the fuck is it?

May I?

What are you doing here, fool?

Aurelia, I'm Javi, Javi Merino.

I know perfectly well who you are, so?

I have returned from the Abyss, I am alive.

It cannot be. What have I done?

What have I done?

You didn't have to be here.

You should be in... -In 1995, yes,

but here I am.

One day before the party.

My friends don't know anything. I only have you.

Me? What for? -To prevent

my sister's kidnapping. The Undead will do it tomorrow,

we must stop them. -Shut up, you fool,

don't say anything.

Go back home and stay there, do you hear me?

Don't say a word to anyone and let it happen as it did the first time.

What?

But I have the chance to change the future.

The future cannot be changed,

you could cause something worse for yourself or your loved ones.

It is very dangerous.

Do you know what these people do?

They kidnap and sacrifice children.

But now we know that their weak point

is electricity and they can't see us in the light.

We have to stand up to them. -I don't want to know, dammit!

Look, I'm not going to stand here

and watch these people take my sister.

I will not be a coward like you. -I am not a coward.

You're not?

What do you call someone who, for years,

knows that these people exist and does absolutely nothing?

I did it to protect my family, my granddaughter.

Olivia's a thousand times better than you.

You don't know the amazing things she's managed to do.

She pulled Quino out of the Abyss, put her life on the line for me...

She has the guts you lack.

I'm going to save my sister,

prevent my own death and that of my friends,

and I'm going to do it with or without your help.

Hey, hey, José...

José, son, but what time is this?

I woke up early to go to the library.

Oh, if that were true, it would be a different story.

I'm leaving, I'm late.

And listen, really study, son, or do you want to end up

being a dunce who cleans houses like your mother?

Careful, don't mess with my mother, or I'll bust you.

To recover, in some way, that situation.

We are talking about the fact... -Oh, get out, storyteller.

That's it. -Yes, we are talking

about someone who manages to create an illusion

in a case that...

Where are you going? Don't move.

Why? -Why?

Because I feel like it.

Today, you'll go straight to the port when you leave school.

You must cover for me at the sentry box.

I can't today. I'm meeting a friend to fix my bike.

He'll do it for free. -Tough luck. I have a meeting.

You? What sort of meeting?

Don't be late.

What are you doing here, Merino? Are you spying on me?

Why do you let him treat you like that?

What are you talking about? What the hell do you know?

I know your stepfather is an abuser.

You better get the hell out of here

before I kick your ass, okay?

Do you want him to pay for what he does to you?

Morte is about to do something horrible.

You have to help me.

He plans to kidnap three girls at the party at the Paraíso.

And one is my sister.

What the hell are you talking about?

The whole town will end up knowing about it

and your mother will suffer most of all.

They will call her an outcast and a murderer.

Don't talk about my mother again, okay?

I know about the Hugo Sanchez card.

I know what Morte did to you that day.

I know you. I know who you are.

If you help me, we can stop your stepfather. Together.

We've been waiting for it practically all our lives

and now we can go. -I'm super nervous.

I'm missing the knee pads so my costume is super ready.

I think I've a pair, don't worry. -Do you have everything?

Yes, I think so. -Okay. Hold on.

Okay.

Gram, are you okay?

You're not like this because of that Javi Merino prick, are you?

He asked me about you, earlier, at school.

That kid's not a prick.

He's special, much more than he seems.

Well, what he looks like...

He doesn't look like shit.

Olivia...

Javi's destiny is linked to yours,

you must trust him.

What are you talking about, gram?

I'm very proud of you,

did you know?

Yes.

Of what you are,

of what you will become.

Hey, I don't know what that fool told you,

but you're out of sorts.

Go, go, go on with your friend.

Oh! Olivia...

What? -Wait, wait.

Wait.

You may need it sooner than I thought.

Thank you, gram.

The premises are closed

during the winter months... -But what the heck is this?

Why don't they say anything about the tunnel?

The cover won't move if you don't step on that and we didn't do that.

I think there was someone in the disco

at the same time as us.

It was the guy who took my sister.

A tunnel hidden in a refrigerated chest with a direct exit

to the sea was found... -Look at that!

...under the Paraíso club.

Diego Morte, the Almanzora monster,

was arrested today as a suspect

in the kidnapping and murder of three girls.

It was my chance,

some come in, others go out

and among the hubbub, I sneak in.

I snuck in and... -Perfect.

SUMMER 1991

The costumes are cool, we are going to rock the party.

Javi, what are you doing here?

What will you do? Look,

it's clear as day, he's stealing

our party tickets to go with his buddies.

Seriously? -No, Sandra, I was looking...

Go on, go on, Javi, get out, before we tell your father.

Come on, little runt, you've got some nerve. He wants to sneak in.

What does he want them for?

If he can't even get in. Oops, the wig.

That's Sandra's, isn't it? -Yes, and this one's yours.

Yes. Let's see, bring out the costumes.

Hasta la vista, baby.

Keep the boxes safe

until everything is ready.

What's inside?

We don't pay you to ask questions.

Wait! Your wife promised me more money.

You were going to have me do something big.

And we will. Soon.

How soon? When?

I need it, I need money now!

You're trying your luck.

There are plenty of idiots like you.

Javi? -Oh! It's heavy.

Hello?

No...

Not again.

What are you doing?

What the hell have you told my grandma?

Me? Nothing.

No way. She was a mess.

It must have been because of what you said.

So go on, get out. -Who cares,

you won't believe me, nobody believes me.

Try me.

Why did you tell me about the fanny pack?

You said it was important for me, and that I might need it.

I know you carry your insulin in there,

because I know you're diabetic,

and that it bothers you that people know because you hate looking weak,

that your father would lock you up until you were old.

I know that just as I know that your grandmother talks to the dead,

that she writes in a red notebook

she uses as a diary and one day she will give it to you.

Who the fuck have you been talking to?

With no one.

I know that because I have lived it,

because I know what will happen.

And tomorrow at the party

they're going to kidnap my sister and her friends.

But my friends don't believe me

and your grandmother doesn't want to get in trouble.

And I don't ask you to believe me,

I only ask you to stand back and let me work.

Hey!

You said they're going to kidnap some girls?

Not in my town,

not if we can stop it.

Do you really intend to burn down the most emblematic building

in town? -One thing is what I intend to do,

and another what I can do with a fuse and some gasoline.

Maybe burning the sound mixer is enough, right?

No music, no party.

Clear.

If you're going to do it, do it now.

Hey!

Where the fuck do you think you're going, brat?

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Are you stupid or what? What are you doing, kid?

Answer. Answer.

What happened?

Did anything happen?

The Paraíso? Why?

At least it was just a scare and that's all.

They put it out very quickly, so...

I don't care. The question is why.

Huh, Javi? Why? Give me an explanation,

because I didn't raise you that way.

I asked you a question! -I don't want this party

to happen, dad! I know something bad is going to happen there.

What do you mean about something bad?

If you have something to tell,

you know about the police. -The police are involved, Costa.

What? -There are people inside.

What are you saying? -I don't like your attitude.

Yeah, I know you don't like it, dad, but I'm telling the truth.

While we're here talking, those people are at the dam,

getting ready to lock up three girls.

Javi, please don't talk garbage.

What garbage, Costa? What garbage?

Sandra and her friends are going to get kidnapped

at the full moon party! -Look, shut up! Go to your room!

Dad, will you listen to me? -You shouldn't even say that

as a joke, do you hear me? Leave.

Shit.

He was worried about his sister, he said they're going to kidnap them.

I don't know, I guess it's just kid's stuff.

With the eighth graders?

That weirdo and her friend.

I think her name is Bea.

I don't know, Al. Javi isn't the type

that would go around burning things with a can of gasoline.

You didn't believe anything he told us, did you?

What I know is that true or not, he was convinced.

Are we going to take a dump on him and do nothing?

Al, wait.

Wait...

We're fucking friends,

and you know what that means.

You know that.

If one goes, we all go.

Yes.

I've known Javi since he was five years old

and you know he had to have a good reason

to do what he did.

And I also know you and you are my friend.

Whatever you are and whoever you like.

Okay?

Let's see Javi.

I even forgive you for liking OBK.

Come on, let's go.

Do you plan to spend all night like this, or what?

I'm going to bed. Tidy up.

So you didn't want to steal my tickets

to go with your friends but to prevent me from going?

And since the move didn't work out, you burn the Paraíso.

Do you know that you were about to leave the whole town

without the best party of the year?

Tomorrow you would have been killed by everyone under 35. Javi...

I don't care about that.

What is wrong?

You look older.

You have grown.

I didn't even realize.

Hey...

Tell me.

Don't go to the party.

We can watch a movie, I'll do the dishes,

I'll do whatever you want, but please don't go.

Javi, nothing is going to happen to me, really.

I can take care of myself.

Trust me.

I promise you that I will be alert

and if I see something strange

I will remember that I have the Mecano badge on me,

the one you gave me.

Do you remember?

And if some punk tries to do something to me,

I'll use it to defend myself.

Will you really remember?

If I fail...

Give me your hand.

I have saved one for you.

Let's see, come on.

Where do you want it?

Here?

Yes, huh?

And so I will remember you are near.

Okay?

Come on, I'm going to sleep.

By the way, you do the dishes today, okay?

Good evening.

Get some rest.

You should stop working. -Sure,

and buy a ticket to the Canary Islands to go sunbathing.

No, fuck no, I'm serious. -And how do we pay the bills?

And now you want to go to Madrid.

And what can we do if the doctors here

can't figure out what's wrong with you?

But the trip, the tests... all that costs money, Diego.

Yes, but the raise I asked for is coming up and, well,

I just need a little more time.

Come on, let's go to sleep,

tomorrow we have to continue working.

We have a problem.

A local boy?

Which boy?

His name's Javi Merino

and the worst thing is that he has told everyone.

Your son and Quino, who are always together.

My son won't say or do anything.

I'll take care of it.

Exactly what does he know?

Everything. The three girls,

the kidnapping at Paraíso, what we are.

Also that there are people from the police involved.

He told a fellow corps member today.

How could he know?

Someone has said too much.

It's not good for any of this to be known.

You're right.

If the ritual is not celebrated, we are all screwed.

This is the only explanation.

The only ones who have all the information

are here now.

Why don't we change our plans?

Why don't we do it another day?

When?

Tomorrow is a full moon.

It's the best day to take them out from under the cliff.

We've been preparing this for a long time.

Let's get other girls then. -The marquis was clear,

he said it had to be those three. -So, what shall we do?

We don't have much time.

We must tell him.

We have a lot at stake this time.

We cannot act without the higher echelons knowing.

We have to call him and wait for orders.

A single mistake would be terrible.

Of course. Yes, like her, right? -Your mother's, Malena.

No, no, it's not, it's an old woman.

Will you stay for breakfast? -No. No, no.

But I have to go to her house, so we go together.

Then to yours. And we sleep here. -Yes?

Shall we go? There are many things to prepare for the party.

Is there anything other than that darn party?

There are other things, we just don't care about them.

Dad, you're just a little too old to understand.

I love you. Fine, okay. -Mario, thanks a lot.

I'm going to take one for the road, it's good.

I'll take another. -Thank you!

Bye. -I love you.

The juice was delicious! -Yes!

I'm sorry.

Do you know what's the worst part?

If instead of Costa, someone else had come to tell me

that you had done that, I would not have believed it.

What's more, I'd probably have smashed his face in

for accusing you unfairly.

Why? Javi, tell me, why did you do it?

It's because of that girl, isn't it?

Did you want to impress her?

Come on...

Listen to me, son,

the girl who loves you

has to love you because you're a hell of a guy.

I know.

I know.

You're getting older, huh?

We should start doing something

about that mustache you're growing.

Dad! Fuck...

Can I at least go down and tell them I'm grounded?

Go on, beat it. Get out before I regret it. Get out of here.

If you touch my ass again, I'll break your fucking neck.

Go, Costa, go. -What are you looking at? Asshole!

I'm not a fucking child!

You're a drunk, I'm going to take you home, you're my friend.

Seriously, Costa, we have to go back.

Come on! -No, Costa, seriously.

No, no, no, no, no.

Costa, get out!

Come on!

Listen, Costa, get out. -What?

No, come on, get out.

Either you open your eyes or I'll get naked.

Inma wants us to get married.

I know, she told me.

She's...

Pregnant. I know.

Well, I'm going to throw you

a bachelor party you'll never forget.

What's wrong?

Why did we stop?

Sorry, but Javi said something about the dam.

What about it?

Well, they were going to lock the girls in there

and they were preparing everything,

which is not a bad plan, isn't it?

That site has been empty for years.

Well, that's just kid's stuff.

Come on, fuck, what are you doing?

They opened the door recently, Mariano.

And there is motor oil behind the gate.

Look, here too.

Costa, are you there?

Costa.

Costa, can you hear me?

Mario, what's up? I've told you not to call me here.

I'd just like to talk to you.

Could we meet in town tonight?

I've arranged to do your daughter's make-up for the party.

Do you want to, I don't know, meet at nine the bar?

Okay, okay, see you at nine. -Okay.

They've been with us for decades. -Shall we?

Executing the same plan over and over again.

They do not make mistakes.

They are very meticulous.

They do it every three years and it's always the same:

three 15-year-olds.

It's them.

When was it? -I think it was last week.

These girls are from the village.

One of their fathers is a fisherman

and I see him almost every day. -It has to be them.

"A spectacular concert, the moment of climax."

This is what it is.

Beautiful. -No way.

"Mujer contra mujer" is better. -No, "Cruz de navajas" is

a thousand times better than that.

"Ay, Dalai?". You can't deny that.

Hey, girls.

How are you? -Hello.

Do you know where I could get ice around here?

At the candy shop, I think they sell some.

It's down the street, straight ahead.

Oh, okay, thanks. -Not at all.

"Una rosa es una rosa". That's the best.

Hey. -Always. Yes?

Do you like Mecano?

Like it? We adore them.

We bought the tickets for Alicante

three months ago. -Absolutely.

Now, maybe I shouldn't tell you this,

but my friend knows them.

How? -What does it say?

My friend is Mecano's manager.

Come on! -Are you going to the Paraíso

tonight? -Yes.

I could introduce you.

But let's see... -We're going to be in a VIP area,

in a reserved area...

Just find me and I'll sneak you in. -Okay.

And maybe, if he likes you,

he can introduce you to the group in Alicante.

Okay. -It would be really cool.

Whoa!

Take them out as we have told you, through the storage chest,

the entrance to the tunnel. -You'll take

them where we told you.

One of us will go with you.

No, I can't do it.

It's too late to back out, you know too much.

A tunnel? As in the Fratelli's restaurant?

Precisely.

From there, Morte will take them by boat

to a nearby beach, I suppose.

And from that beach to the dam.

We have to stop Morte from reaching Paraíso on the boat.

How about if I don't even let him leave the port?

How the hell did you get in? -Your father let me in.

So this is where you suckers hang out?

I knew you would come.

What the hell is he doing here?

Is there a problem?

Are you really going to trust this guy?

He's been beating us since the third grade.

He's one of us. Really.

I know where he keeps the key to the boat.

I can get hold of it and stop him from starting the engine.

You were right, he's in it up to his eyeballs.

You can take my walkie with you.

As soon as you get the keys, let us know. Bea,

you have to convince your father. He has to be there.

If you want him to lock her up until she's 30...

What he's going to do if he finds out about this.

If we screw up and Morte takes them out of the club by sea,

we need the navy to be the first to arrive.

Dad, we were looking for you.

Hey, would you mind picking us up at the party tonight?

Really? -Yes.

I thought you didn't like to be seen with me.

That's nonsense. Thank you, daddy,

we go to her house to prepare the costumes, okay?

"Daddy"?

The party ends. -I'll make sure Costa

goes too. -What will you tell her?

I don't know, -At two o'clock is better.

It is one hour more. -I'll think of something.

Okay, what time are you going to the party?

At 11:30 p.m. -How are you getting there?

Well, together. -Of course.

Together how?

Can I give you a ride? -No.

No worries, Costa, thank you very much.

Blood, guts and livers,

that's what we need,

and we throw it all over ourselves.

You look like Inspector Gadget.

What are you talking about, man? -Olivia,

could your father lend us some of those guts

he has down there? -No,

do you know what I can give you? -What?

A slap in the face, want one?

I'll get some paint.

What's wrong? What did I say? If that is thrown away,

it's better to take advantage. -Wheels.

Ignore him. I believe that a little red dye will do.

Come on. -Wait for me!

Oh, my, I can't believe it. -Fuck, what a pair.

Shit!

Do you want me to...? -Okay.

Thank you for all this.

Do you think it will be alright?

It has to go well, because if not....

Well, you don't know it yet, but...

together we have achieved amazing things.

Let's see what you think.

Have you really lived through all that, Javi?

And you and I...?

My goodness, what mental institution has released you?

Paint.

Am I interrupting? -No, no.

Come, help me with the wig. -Okay.

Who is there?

Looking for this?

What the hell are you doing?

No, what the fuck are you doing?

Kidnapping girls?

It's too much even for a rat like you.

You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

Do not take another step.

I'm not going to let you fuck up my mother's life.

Do you know who I'm doing this for?

Your mother is very sick,

but they don't know what's wrong.

So, we need to go to Madrid for tests.

Do you get it, smart guy?

I don't care!

She wouldn't want this!

She doesn't know what's good for her.

They have a lot of money.

It's either the girls...

or your mother.

What do you decide?

Don't move.

Hand them over. Hand them over! -No!

Asshole. Back off, asshole!

Yes? -Mario.

Tell me. -I'm going to be a little late,

wait for me at the bar, okay? -Okay. I'll be waiting there.

Fucking girls...

I'll kill them.

Please! Please!

Hello. -Hello.

Nothing?

Fuck, where has this guy gone?

I've told you Zeta cannot be trusted.

He's probably around here with his buddies,

watching us from afar and laughing at us

for how stupid we are.

Well, at least your sister and her friends aren't here either.

Javi, can you hear me?

Hell no! Son of a bitch! No!

Zeta! Are you okay?

Zeta, answer, dammit!

I have to go get him. -What?

My sister doesn't arrive until 11:30.

I have time to go to the port and back.

And if I'm late, don't let them in, okay?

You're going to risk everything with the son of a bitch

from school? Really? -That son of a bitch is going to be

someone very important for you in the future.

Oh...

You're going to freak out about this, but...

if you see your parents around, stay away from them, okay?

Yes, don't wait for me... Bye. -Yes, yes.

Bye, have a very, very good time. -We love you. Thank you.

Zeta?

Hello?

You must be Javi,

the guy everyone is talking about.

I don't know how it happened, I forget.

Cold and dark, I'm falling into the void.

I think I hear your voice in dreams,

it's calling me.

And if I try to follow it,

it fades.

A paradise where I can see where you're going.

Fate finds

several paths to cross.

Our memories vanish

like foam in the sea.

It will be a paradise where I find

eternity.

I keep wandering, lost.

I follow my heart,

looking for meaning.

I hear your song dreams,

far away.

And if I try to decipher it,

it ends.

A paradise where I can see

where you're going.

Fate finds

several paths to cross.

Our memories vanish

like foam in the sea.

It will be a paradise where I find

eternity.

Paradise.

It will be a paradise where I find

eternity.
