01x04 - Stolen Shadow, Witch Forgotten

[bunniefuu]

[gasps]

[breathes heavily]

- [water dripping]
- [clock ticking]

Lucien.

Lucien!

Who summons Lucien to the Meantime Garden?

[Carmen] I always told you
that I'd had strange dreams

ever since I was a girl, Cristobal,

but these ones were different.

They felt like warnings and omens.

Lucien had been summoned
and I would feel his fury.

[Jhony Ki] Please don't do anything to me.

Calling you was a mistake.
I was looking for someone else.

Why are you looking for Lucien?

For no reason, really.

Look, I swear I'll leave
and stop bothering you.

[knocking on door]

[Carmen] Jhony Ki, open, please!

That's Carmen.

Do you know Carmen?

- [knocking on door]
- [gasps]

[Carmen] Jhony Ki, it's me.

I feel that Lucien is close
and he's coming for me.

Oh, no. I knew it!

What?

Well, that Lucien is close.

Carmen, you can't continue
using your magic.

You can't let your signal keep growing,
because he'll find you.

I have no other option.

I have to return to my life
with Cristobal.

And if Ninibe is no longer here
to face Lucien,

the only way is to do it myself.

- So, I need to borrow your Ouija board.
- No! What for?

Because Ximena was the only one
that could help me and since she didn't,

I must call the ghost to communicate
with her mother.

No and no, Carmen.
You must leave spirits alone.

You mess with those stupid things
and there will be problems.

Last night's ghost ended up being nice,
but you never know, I'm sorry.

Besides, I don't have it anymore.
I threw it away.

Why?

Carmen, I just did, because you told me
this wasn't a game.

Do you want to die?

Jhony Ki, I came from another time
to prevent myself being burnt alive.

Do you really think I want to die?

I will save Cristobal's life
and I won't give up.

Well, I'm sorry then,
but I can't help you.

I think Ximena was right
and you must forget about everything...

and live a normal life, Carmen.

Thanks for the advice,
but I don't need it.

- Where can I get another Ouija board?
- I don't know.

Jhony Ki.

Carmen, somebody gave it to me,
but I warn you

that the ones that people are selling
are good for nothing.

All right, thank you.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[theme music plays]

What? Did you hand wash all that?

Why?

Because my work includes helping you
with cleaning and washing.

No, no, no, please!
That's what the washer is for.

- Am I not supposed to be the washer?
- No.

The washing machine is that box over there
and it washes all the clothes.

And let me remind you
that sl*very ended years ago.

- Does that machine wash clothes?
- Yes.

Why didn't you tell me that before?

Well, because I thought it was obvious.

- Am I supposed to know everything?
- No, no, of course not.

But I didn't think you had never seen
a washing machine before.

- Pardon! I don't know why I told you that.
- All right, it's okay.

Look, I'll take care of the clothes
and you go to classes instead.

- Which classes?
- What about university?

Oh, yes. Sure, the university.

- [man] Adelaida!
- Yes?

Carmen.

This is for you. It's a present.

I want to thank you
for everything you did for me.

You really saved my life,
you saved my reputation.

Thank you so much,
because if that video had circulated,

I don't know what would have happened
to me.

- Thanks for stopping it.
- Me? What did I do?

Oh, don't play dumb.

Everyone already told me
it was your idea to recover my video.

Ah, yes. I owed you.

It was the least I could do
after spoiling your plan.

Well, do you like it?
Do you know how to use it?

Look, I took the liberty of buying a line,
and if you want,

- I can help you to set it up.
- Okay.

Well, I already set up the screen,
sound, internet, the cloud.

I'll download the apps too, now
so you'll have Insta, Pic, Facebook,

- all of them.
- What is an app?

Oh, no, Carmen,
do you come from the jungle?

Without apps you can't survive
in this world.

How could you survive
being completely disconnected?

Look, here you can watch videos,
upload photos

and the best thing is
that you can find out

about everyone else's lives.

If you like to know so much about other
people's lives, why did it bother you

that they saw your video?

It's not the same, Carmen.

I already told you that video was to do
with my intimate life.

And that idiot sent it to my best friends
without my permission.

But you were going out with him.

And should have known the type
of person he was.

If you are smart, you notice it, Alicia.

Are you judging me?

No, no.

I don't know why I said that.

Do you or don't you want the phone?

Yes!

- Hello!
- Hello.

Hey, where is your bag?

What bag?

For class.

It's somewhere else today.
Didn't you get the email?

She doesn't have an email address,
but I already solved her little problem.

[Mayte] Carmen. She stayed.

[Carmen] Girls, are you sure
this is the full outfit?

- Come out, let us see you.
- Come out.

Isn't this missing a piece?

- Damn, I hate you!
- What did I do wrong?

What do you mean!
Look, turn around, my love.

Beautiful and tanned,
that's quite a level.

- Do you really think I look good?
- You look divine, Carmen!

Yes, take that away from there.
We'll take a photo.

- Like this?
- Pose, like that.

- Beautiful.
- Let me see.

Let me see.

With this photo you'd get
over a hundred likes on Instagram.

- I think I'll delete the app.
- No, no, no.

Wow, girls! I like it!

How modest!

Well, if it is envy,
let it be the good kind.

Let's take a photo of the three of us
so everyone will see the pretty friends.

[shutter clicks]

- What now? Shall we go? We're late.
- Come on, let's put that on, come.

- Is that really me?
- Of course!

[Dani] I came here last semester
and it was really fun.

There are little fish. [laughs]

- Hello.
- Hello.

What's all that?

[Esteban] Good morning.

- [all] Good morning!
- [Esteban] Ready to get wet?

- We'll do the practice part, today.
- Make some space for me here, please.

We will seriously and deeply reflect
on how we humans

are doing so much damage
to the ecosystem.

And that's why today's class
will be an underwater cleaning brigade.

So, check the equipment.
Let's open the t*nk.

- [gas cylinder hissing]
- Relax, are you okay?

- You know how to swim, don't you?
- Yes.

Don't worry,
because diving isn't that difficult.

Pay attention to the professor,
and I'll help you go down

as much as I can.

Okay.

[Esteban] Be sure the regulator
and the air have no flavor or odor.

- [Carmen] You could have drowned, Esteban!
- [gasps]

You saved me, thank you!

I was very worried seeing you tangled
up there.

How did you find me?

I was following a turtle
that had a plastic ring around its neck.

Let's go rescue it then.

[Esteban] I introduce you to...

[Carmen] Cristobal.

[laughing]

Thank goodness it is a male.

It is an Eretmochelys imbricata,

a hawksbill turtle at risk of extinction.

Do you know what turtles represent?

- [all] No.
- [Cancahuimacu] Longevity, stability,

wisdom.

It's also a fortune-telling spirit.

And their most practical,
but no less important, functions

include helping to maintain the ecosystem.

Controlling the population of sea sponges,
the first coral competitor.

This is Bruno.

The Caribbean Sea
research center director,

the university board
of directors' representative...

and the father of the young lady here,
Mayte.

And Cancahuimacu, leader and shaman
of his indigenous community,

a great friend and collaborator
of this center.

- Who found it?
- She did and she saved its life.

- It was really the two of us.
- [Cancahuimacu] You are lucky.

The turtle is a protective spirit

that carries a powerful message
on its shell's lines.

Those marks speak
about a new beginning...

a journey into the deep and mysterious.

Are you ready for such a trip?

You must have courage and a good memory

because the price of the trip, maybe,
the abyss of madness.

- [Esteban] Shall we examine it, Bruno?
- Yes, of course!

- See you later.
- So long.

Well, how shall we divide the work?
Because I can't really meet today.

I can't stay either, bye.

Well, I'll send you all
what you each have to do.

- I'm going too. Bye!
- What do you mean you're going, my love?

- I have to be up early tomorrow to work.
- Stay for dinner, will you?

Stay for dinner. Just a little while.

- Well, just for a little bit.
- All right.

- Wait for me at home.
- Okay.

[Carmen] You should find a boyfriend
with money.

I mean, one that doesn't work as much
and is always free.

Carmen, I love Leon and I don't care
if he has money or not.

Well, let him work in peace.

[chuckles]

So, you've never been to Cartagena.

I think I have,
but everything was quite different.

[chuckles] That's true.

- The city has changed over the years.
- Yes.

- Leon, will you do me a favor?
- [Leon] Sure!

Will you bring the Cabernet I left?

- [Leon] With pleasure!
- Thank you.

Excuse me.

[Bruno] Yes, I think you should
feel different anyway...

because leaving home...

family, friends, everything,

is not easy.

Don't you miss that a lot?

I miss...

[chuckles] I don't know what or who,
but I feel as if something was missing.

Yes, the family probably.

No, I don't have a family.

- No?
- No.

- I had an uncle...
- [sighs]

...but I know nothing about him.
I have no memories.

Well, fortunately you have friends
who are the family you choose.

I love my friends.

In fact,
I like your daughter very much...

but I feel her relationship
with Leon is going nowhere.

Why do you say that?

They seem to belong to different worlds...

- and he hasn't been entirely honest.
- [Mayte] See how this looks on you.

A present?

Well, I planned to lend it to you.

But Alicia gave me a mobile, Mayte.

[laughing]

Well, yes.

- Hi, Esteban!
- Bruno, how're you doing?

Shall we drink some wine
while dinner is cooking?

- [Esteban] Do you want wine, Carmen?
- Yes.

Thank you.

All right.

Ready, cheers!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

["Apretaito" plays on stereo]

[Carmen] Leon.

You should stop thinking about work
so much and take more care of Mayte.

Why do you say that?

Because she is bored
and a bored woman, Leon...

I know it's not easy for you to be poor
and have a girlfriend

living in such a pretty place like this.

But you can't work all day
and abandon her.

I'm being serious, Leon.

Oh, I love this song!
Let's dance, come on.

I don't dance...

- not even when I'm high or drunk.
- I didn't come to dance with you.

I came to ask if I can come
to visit the turtle.

- Of course, no problem.
- Yes?

I'd love to work in a place as pretty
as this one.

- We could ask Bruno.
- Really?

- He always needs people to help here.
- Oh, yes!

[Mayte] Well, let's dance.
I won't accept no for an answer,

apart from the professor
because he could flunk me.

But you, let's go. Up!

- Do you want some?
- [cell phone rings]

Carmen, your phone.

Hello, Carmen. How are you doing?

Don't you feel strange?
Do you feel all right?

Yes, why do you ask?

Well, I just wanted to know
if you are all right.

Yes. Is that all you're calling for?

Oh, no, Jhony Ki.
We'll talk tomorrow. Bye!

No, no, no, wait, Carmen.

- Did you say tomorrow?
- Yes, I'll stay here.

No, no, no, what do you mean?
You'll stay nowhere.

Oh, Dad, will you give me permission?

Jhony Ki, don't bother.
I'm having a good time.

Carmen, you levitate. They can't see you!

I do what?

Levitate, Carmen. You can't be away
from me during the night.

Because what if Lucien appears?

I won't be there to save you.

[chuckles] Who is Lucien?

I think you are the weirdo here
and just trying to scare me.

You really don't remember anything?

No, Carmen, you must come back now.
You're in danger!

What's wrong?

Carmen, I can't explain over the phone.

- You must go to the hostel now.
- What hostel?

The hostel where we live.
Now you don't know where you live.

Don't you see there is something wrong?
Quickly, write these instructions down

- so you can get there safe and sound.
- All right.

- Thanks for everything.
- It was my pleasure.

Be careful because the tide is beginning
to rise.

Are you leaving?

- Yes, I have to mark some exam papers.
- May I go with you?

[Mayte] What do you mean you're leaving?

Weren't you going to stay tonight?

I can't stay.

But we were going to talk to my dad
about the work and do our project.

I'll do my part and you do yours, okay?

- Why can't you stay?
- [Carmen] Because I wasn't allowed to.

Will you take me?

- Let's go.
- Carmen, do your part.

- I'll do it.
- All right.

- [Carmen] Bye!
- [Mayte] Bye, Professor!

They make a good couple.

Dad, please. It's Esteban.
What do you mean "a good couple"?

[chuckles]

[car horn blares]

Safe and sound.

Thanks for accompanying me, Professor.

I don't know if I would have made
it back alone.

Thank you, Carmen.

It is the least I could do for the person
who saved my life.

You could have left me there,
but you risked yourself.

[Esteban sighs]

I think I should go.
It's not a good idea for me to be here.

Why, Professor?
What's wrong with being here?

It's late already, that's all.

Is it that or am I boring?

No, for God's sake!
You are too special to be boring.

I'm sure that if I investigate,
I'll find a little box of surprises.

Let's hope so.

I don't really have that much to say,
and that's not like me.

It's as if I suddenly had no past.

Could it be that you were underwater
too long?

Or in the sun?

- Let's go see a doctor.
- No, please.

In fact, I haven't felt this good
in a long time.

It is as if a huge weight
has been lifted off my shoulders.

Do you understand? Arriving in this city
gave me the chance to start again.

[Esteban sighs]

See you tomorrow, Carmen.

[Carmen] See you tomorrow, Professor.

Good night. Hey, Carmen.
It's time to go to sleep.

I'm not sleepy.

But the gentleman is. Good night.

Good night.

Carmen Eguiluz, were you flirting
with the professor?

We were talking.
There is nothing wrong with that.

At this time? And holding hands?

Carmen, if getting involved
with a professor was okay,

I'd have done it
with the history professor.

What are you thinking?

- You have a boyfriend.
- A boyfriend?

Cristobal? Now, you don't remember!

Cristobal! Like the turtle!

Such a coincidence!

The name is pretty...

but I don't know anyone named Cristobal.

- Was he very important?
- Of course, Carmen, very important!

You're here in this life at this time,
because of him.

You came to save his life.

- What are you talking about?
- Your mission, Carmen.

You have powers, do magic. Look here.

- You no longer have powers.
- What powers?

- To cure wounds.
- Am I a doctor?

No, Carmen, a witch. You levitate
while you sleep and talk to ghosts.

Witches are a fairy tale, Cousin.

I'll go to sleep now, since you spoiled
my night with the professor.

No, Carmen, this is serious.

Do you really not remember anything?

Ghost Lucho?

He was nice, you wanted to call him again
to help you with Ximena.

No, I don't want to see ghosts.

- You have to remember something.
- Yes, the important things.

The university, the aquarium, my friends,
Professor Esteban.

I remember a lot about him.

This is the armory where you wrote letters
to each other.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember.

Oh, God! What did I do?

I only wanted to protect you.

Yes, to lose your powers,
but not to forget who you were.

The witch didn't tell me
that this would happen.

What witch?

Look, sit down.

[sighs]

The one I contacted to help you.
But she didn't tell me this would happen.

Carmen, you must remember who you are.
You traveled through time.

Look, your magic level mark would be here.

If I hadn't erased it

I stole your shadow because you asked me
not to play with magic so much.

And yes, I didn't listen to you
and I think I contacted Lucien.

Forgive me.

That's why I was looking for a way
to protect you...

and that witch told me that if I took
the shadow away from you, you'd be safe.

You've lost me with all these details.
I don't understand what you are saying.

But it's true. I took the shadow away
from you this morning when...

you were doing the laundry.

I didn't want anything to happen to you
because of me.

I don't want you to die.

Oh, I might die then?

If Lucien finds you, yes.
Well, at least that's what you told me.

Let's see, if I understood anything.

Are you saying that if I use my powers,
this Lucien can find and k*ll me?

Yes.

But I don't have them now,
so he can't find me.

No.

Cousin... thank you.

You saved my life!

- [sighs]
- I don't know who I was before.

But I love this life
and I won't die for anyone.

But your mission was important
to you, Carmen.

But I no longer want it.

All those things you say about sorcerers
and time travelling sound scary.

Can't my problems just be like Leon's
or Mayte's?

They can't be the same,
because you are different,

and I liked you more
when you were different.

You were indeed a strange
and clumsy witch.

But you were good.

But I no longer am,
which means I can do anything now.

Good night!

[sighs]

What do you want?

[Jhony Ki] Do you remember I asked you how
to take a witch's powers away from her?

Well, I changed my mind now
and want to undo the spell.

- That can't be done.
- What do you mean "can't be done"?

You didn't tell me that if I took
the shadow away

I'd also erase her memory
and change her personality.

People using magic should know

that every spell has a good side
and a bad side.

I'm not a wizard.

Neither do I work with magic.
I just wanted to help a friend.

If you are not willing
to bear the consequences,

you shouldn't use magic.

That spell can't be undone.

[breathes heavily]

Let's go. [breathes heavily]

[rock music plays]

[inhales, exhales]

All right, here I am

and I've come to give myself
up in exchange for Carmen.

It's not fair that she dies,

and I'm willing to die
and see my parents.

Take me, Lucien.

But I need something before.

"Lucien"?

It's me, Aldemar.

Aldemar?

Carmen's great master and friend?

How do you know her?

Because she lives with me
and well, we became friends.

What a pleasure to meet you!

So, you are the powerful one
who can make people travel through time.

Well, yes.

Sometimes, I grant that gift
to very special persons.

Are you a good friend of Carmen's?

And why are you summoning Lucien?

My master, don't misunderstand me.
I didn't come here looking for Lucien.

I really came looking for you...

but since you appeared like that...

anyone would get scared.

I thought I was wrong
and since Carmen does nothing

but warn me to be very careful
with Lucien...

Yes, yes, yes.
What do you want from me?

[breathes heavily]

I did something silly.

I stole Carmen's shadow.

And who asked you
to do such a stupid thing?

Nobody.

I simply became fond of her.
Carmen is very sweet and has a kind heart,

I was looking for a way to protect her...

but I think it went wrong.

It is bad, because when a witch's
shadow is removed,

she loses her powers
and little by little begins to go crazy.

Going crazy?

So, you are saying I'll drive her crazy.

Yes, it's quite possible.
How long ago did you do this?

- One day ago.
- We are just in time.

You're the only one responsible
for what happens to Carmen.

Listen carefully
to what you're going to do.

To start with, you will do anything I ask.

There she is. Carmen! Carmen!

- What?
- Where is your part of the work?

You didn't send it.

- What work?
- [Leon] What?

What do you mean "What work"?

The work we were going to do yesterday
at my house. Don't you remember?

You said you'd do your part
and I sent it through chat.

I didn't see it.

I don't know how to use this
and I went to bed late last night.

[Leon] That doesn't justify it!

Hey! Did you already decide
who is going to do what on the project?

- I want to see it before we hand it in.
- No, Carmen didn't do her part.

How come?

Listen, Carmen, when you divide work,

everyone has a responsibility
to the group.

Alicia, they sent me a chat,
but I don't know how to use this.

Carmen, really, what's wrong with you?

- Nothing, what would be wrong?
- Nothing?

Well, I'm starting to think
you are a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Someone who plays dumb
and leaves all the work for everyone else.

What you really are is an opportunist.

But, guys, what's the big deal about work?

Just remove me from the group,

or I will leave before you throw me out.

No, come on, I don't understand anything.
What are we going to do?

Hey, the professor is coming,
what shall we tell him?

Tell him Carmen is ill. We'll go.

- Hello, Professor. How are you?
- Hi!

[Alicia] What are we doing in class?

Well, tell me what's wrong, Carmen.

- You can trust me.
- I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Carmen, you have been behaving
quite odd lately,

and you stood us up with the work
and don't even care.

I don't know, Mayte.
I say what I think and I don't care.

I don't know why but I don't care.

Carmen, you are not like that.

You are a sweet and authentic young woman
and that's why we like you so much.

Mayte, which one of those is me?

What do you mean by
"Which one of those is me"?

Well, I'm neither that one or that one.

Carmen, you are scaring me.

[Dani] It is the trauma.

Sooner or later, this was going to happen.

What do you mean? What trauma?

There is something you don't know...

and it is that...

the whole story Carmen told is a lie
from the beginning.

I found her one night on the beach.

She was lost with burnt feet
and she fainted.

What?
Why haven't you said anything before?

Well, because I was drunk and high.

But I left her in front of a hospital.
I didn't want to have any problems.

But what could have happened to her?

I have no idea,

but it's obvious that she's running away
from something or someone.

Maybe, that's why she is acting
so strange.

[Esteban] Good afternoon.

Get your books out, please.

And what's wrong with you?

Teacher, we are quite worried
about Carmen.

- Yes, she is acting weird and...
- [Dani] We really don't know who she is.

I'm worried, too.

I was told today
that she's not registered on this course.

- She isn't?
- She isn't?

What does that mean then?

- Excuse me, have you seen Carmen Eguiluz?
- Hey, Jhony Ki.

Professor. Thank you.

Hello. I'm looking for Carmen.

She didn't seem good
when she left home this morning

and I must tell her something
very important.

Do you know where she is?

- Nothing.
- She's not in the bathroom.

We must find her soon.

What's wrong with Carmen, Jhony Ki?
What is the truth?

Yes.

Carmen...

she's...

she's intoxicated.

Today in the hostel,

a tourist who ended up being a thief,
added scopolamine to her coffee.

My grandmother noticed it,
but Carmen didn't...

and she took the brunt of it.

We must find her before midnight
or something bad may happen to her.

- Let's go look for her.
- Okay, let's go.

- Let's go.
- Let's split up, okay?

- We must call the police.
- [Jhony Ki] No.

No, Professor.
The police make everything worse.

Why don't you want me to call the police,
Jhony Ki?

There is a m*rder*r out there,
a psychopath k*lling women.

I don't want that to happen to Carmen.

What's Carmen's little box doing
on your desk?

Is this Carmen's?

[Jhony Ki] Yes, a family heirloom.

Her whole story is here.

But I don't understand why she left
all these things with you.

I don't understand either.
That was there when I arrived.

Maybe it's a sign that she probably
wanted you to take care of her.

And you don't have a clue?

Any place where she could be?

Well, all I can think of is
to ask her boyfriend.

Carmen told me
she didn't have a boyfriend.

No, no, I mean she does
it is just that he lives far away.

But I think he might have a clue
about where she is.

The problem is how to get in touch
with him.

[indistinct chatter]

[maracas rattling]

Excuse me, madam.

- Do you know Carmen?
- Carmen Eguiluz.

I don't know her. I don't know who she is.
