[women gasp]

It's the witch!

[Isobel] Did you see that?

She changes her appearance
in front of us.

She's a witch.

Witch! Witch!

- Burn her now!
- Burn her!

Yes, burn her!

[Isobel] Burn her, please!

Cefesimiloe.

Gabamicuru.

[rock music plays]

Someone stop her!

Don't come near me,
or I'll turn you into rats!

I'm sorry to spoil your moment,

but I won't die today.

And you better know that...

in the future, attacking a woman...

will be a very serious crime.

And if you burn her...

you'll go to prison for life.

And let me tell you that...

in history books you'll be the only ones
to appear like villains.

[Carmen] So, you better think carefully

before torturing a woman
and accusing her of being a witch.

And don't follow me.

Because I am one of them.

[Isobel cries]

Help us.

I know Cristobal is still alive...

but he's wounded.

I'm going to cure him
and hope you don't stop me.

[crowd] The witch! Witch!

[crowd] Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch!

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[theme music playing]

[Cristobal snores softly]

Cristobal!

What are you doing here?

Get out of my house!

Rogelio, have someone take
this witch out of here!

- Fernando, leave her.
- What?

[Isobel] She probably can save him
with her magic, please!

[Fernando] What's going on, Isobel?
Are you crazy?

[Fernando] Are you also under a spell?

[Fernando and Isobel arguing softly]

Satori siduos.

Make this wound heal inside and out.

[dramatic music plays]

[Isobel gasps]

[Isobel] Son!

Carmen, what are you doing here?

[Carmen] My love!

Now, get out of here, b*at it!

- Get out!
- Let go of me!

[Cristobal] I won't let them take her!

[Fernando] Carmen has been sentenced
by the Holy Inquisition.

I saw her coming off the stake
and nobody did anything to stop her.

They are quite afraid,
so, they won't come to get her.

If no one dares to take her out,

- I will.
- Father!

[Cristobal] If she goes, I'll go with her.

I won't allow them
to separate us ever again.

Even if you sh**t me again.

[Fernando] She is a sl*ve,

is black, and a witch!

- So, what?
- [Fernando] So what?

I love her precisely
because of those three things.

[Isobel] Fernando, it is love.

We have no chance of winning.

[Isobel] My life.

Thanks for saving his life.

[Carmen] My love.

[door creaks]

It's strange.

The suspect used the only call he had
to contact you instead of a lawyer.

Don't you think?

Yes.

Yes, and you are here.

Come, Miss Preciado.

I wonder if you know
that the word suspect means criminal.

[door creaks]

Are you sure you want to be here?

Perfect.

If you need anything,
feel free to call, okay?

- [Mayte] Thank you.
- Excuse me.

I don't understand
why you called me.

You should have called a lawyer.

A lawyer can't prove I'm innocent.

But you can, Mayte.

I'm not the "fire m*rder*r".
I swear to you.

You took me by force,

and I have no idea what you did.

If you drugged or hypnotized me,
I don't know.

I was unconscious in a hospital, Esteban.

Everything was planned.
It was a plan

to help Carmen
attain her highest level of magic,

and you agreed with it, Mayte,
you must remember that.

I better leave.
You are as manipulative as Carmen said.

Carmen appreciates your friendship a lot.

I knew she'd even do the impossible
to free you from the spell.

You accepted it.

You understood it was very important
for her to be ready to defeat Aldemar.

I've known you for years,
your father is my best friend.

I'd never hurt you. Never.

You must remember that, please.

I used to write you from the future,
through this cr*ck.

I don't know how,
but I opened it with my magic.

Since I arrived,
I've started to tell you about my life.

There is no explanation for that.

How could you live for several weeks
in the future, if you are here

and not one day has passed since
they took you to the stake?

Because I returned
to the same moment I left.

I suppose that's how it works,

but several weeks went by over there.

And what did you do there?

Apart from dressing like a man?

My love, I finished the mission set by
the person who freed me from the stake.

And while I did it,
I tried to go unnoticed,

- studying at the university.
- You studied at a university?

All of us can study there, love,
no matter race or gender.

[Carmen] Women have a voice.

And it's confirmed
that there was a man on the moon.

My love, are you all right?

- Yes.
- Are you sure of what you're telling me?

Yes, love, I'm sure.

And were you very happy there?

Very happy.

But I never stopped
thinking of you or missing you.

I wanted us to see the world together
like we always dreamed of.

- They are looking for you.
- [Carmen] Who?

Rest for a while, will you?

I'll see who it is.

- I love you.
- I love you.

My dear Carmen.

You kept your promise,
thank you, thank you.

Of course!

[Aldemar] What did you expect?
That I wouldn't?

[Fernando] Who let him in?

When he was announced
I ordered them not to do it,

but no one obeyed.

[Isobel] Will you ask him to leave?

If there are sorcerers in this house,
it's because of you.

So, you kick him out.

[Aldemar] You liked the future.

Don't you regret coming back?

No.

Cristobal is alive,
and I'll be where he is.

Exactly.

Though it would be perfect
if I could travel with him to the future.

No, no, no.

It was a round trip just for you
and you used that opportunity already.

You are here accompanied
by Cristobal, your beloved one.

Love implies sacrifice.

I, on the contrary, am alone,

and that's why I want to leave this town.

I just came to thank you
for what you have done for me...

and to say goodbye.

You're leaving? Where are you going?

To a peaceful place.

Now that the Holy Inquisition has found
out I am free, they won't leave me alone.

You know perfectly well

that us wizards will always
be persecuted and discriminated against.

It's true.
And I am too old for that.

You, on the contrary, are young.

Will we see each other again?

[birds chirping]

I don't think so.

But now, we are going to celebrate.

Listen.

Attention, everyone.

You are invited to this gathering.

Let's celebrate it, as well
as my farewell from this great city.

Don Fernando de Aranoa.

Where are you?

He was there a second ago.

And...
and Doña Isobel de Aranoa.

My deepest respects to you.

Please arrange the biggest table you have.

I offer apologies in the name
of our house,

but we are not prepared
to have a banquet.

No, on the contrary,

I don't want to take advantage
of the Aranoa family.

I am one of those guests
that always arrives full-handed.

Come on, come on.

Set the table, wine, please,
wine for everyone!

I don't understand.
What are we celebrating?

[Carmen] Love, that thanks to Aldemar,
you and I are together.

Carmen, come, sit here.

- Are you sure you'll go with him?
- Don't worry, my love.

Doña Isobel, Don Fernando,

come, come, come!

Sit!

Sit, sit! Enjoy, drink!

Come on, come on.

Aldemar, I want my friends to sit with us.

[Aldemar] I like them.

- I obey your words.
- Thank you.

[Aldemar] To all Aranoa family servants,

be informed you'll share
the table with us tonight.

Go ahead, sit down, please.

- [Aldemar] Sit down.
- I don't agree.

Let's play along with him.
The sooner he leaves, the better.

Ladies, sit down, please.

Sit down, ladies,

come over, sit down,

enjoy the wine,

enjoy everything.

I toast to a woman who is very special,
especially to me.

Long live to Carmen Eguiluz.

Cheers!

- Cheers!
- [Isobel] Cheers!

[wine glasses clinking]

And now, let's get the party started!

Party?

[jolly music plays]

What a great party,
my friend, Aldemar,

and I thought you'd bewitch us all.

What I didn't like was when

you sat the servants at our table.

- Because you need to be kind.
- Really?

Sure. Socialize, dance,
dance with her.

[woman chuckling]

You know what?

A present...

for the years you've been our sl*ve.

[giggling]

When I am the master of this house,
you'll be free.

What's more, I'll free everyone!

[sl*ve laughs]

Incredible, this is incredible, isn't it?

Carmen, Carmen, are you feeling ill?

Yes.

It's the alcohol.

I'm not used to these things.

Sit here, listen and enjoy the circus.

The show is about to start.

[magical whooshing]

Honey, you are experiencing
a psychological reaction

that usually happens when kidnapping
victims ally with their kidnapper.

No, I don't have Stockholm syndrome.

Esteban told me he was
not the "fire k*ller."

And we should believe him?

Of course not, love,
and visiting him was madness.

Yes, but something inside me
says he is innocent,

and that's why I investigated
and found this.

Listen.

"Two months ago,
on the night of June th,

three of the fire k*ller's
fatal casualties disappeared."

And?

It couldn't have been Esteban
because that night,

the th of June, he was with my father.

I remember it clearly.

They were fishing, and it was
too late when they got back.

Esteban slept in the aquarium,

which is miles away from
where those girls were burnt.

Well, I don't really know what to think.

But if Carmen thinks it is a black magic
warlock there must be a reason, May.

If only I could remember
everything that happened,

we'd have a clue about
what's going on.

Yes, but how can we do that?

With his help.

[Mayte] He's the only one who has
the Book of the Shadows from Carmen.

Well, it's the book that Carmen
learned all of her spells from.

I don't know, I may find something
to help me remember here.

Well, if Esteban is a good wizard,

why didn't he use his own powers
to make you remember?

Because he lost them when Carmen
defeated him. He can't do anything.

That's why I resorted to this. To see
if we can make a white spell or something.

The problem is, Mayte. And, listen,
it's not that I don't want to help,

what happened to Esteban
worries me a lot too,

but only a real wizard can see
the contents of this book.

I don't know,

but we need something to make
Mayte remember what happened that night,

either with that book
or with something else.

Hypnosis.

Are you being serious?

[man over laptop]
Inhale through the nose, one, two,

three, four, hold the air.

Exhale, one, two, three, four.

Imagine a door.

That door keeps
your darkest secrets.


Stretch your hand out to me,

- you are not afraid.
- [snoring]

Be quiet!

I didn't do it.

Mayte?

If you are listening to me...

say something.

[Dani] Oh, May.

I listened to you,
but I don't know what's wrong.

It's not working.

It's because of you, it's your energy.

- Yes, it's your fault.
- My energy? This is stupid!

No...

[snoring]

- It worked.
- Alicia.

Alicia!

If you are listening,
tell us your most intimate secret.

Dani, no.

Let me.

Yes, that's it.

"Permicia", what do you want to confess?

I'm JuanJo.

You're JuanJo?

I wrote the letters
pretending to be JuanJo.

What?

Why did you do that to me?

Everything was a joke in the beginning,

but I ended up falling in love.

Well, stop it, that's enough,
Alice, Alice, wake up.

Alice, Alice!

Did it work?

I don't want to see you ever again.

I'm out of here!

What's wrong with Daniel?

You told him you were JuanJo.

- What?
- You told him everything, Alice.

I did what? No, Daniel!

Oh, my God!

[birds chirping]

[Aldemar muttering indistinctly]

[muttering continues]

And now you'll open,
for Aldemar, your master,

the time portal,

the threshold that only
your lineage of witches can open.

You'll remember the knowledge
that is inside your blood,

so that I can travel
wherever I need to go.

Onatuto naroyeile, echua
gogo, echua laguana,


echua gotipongo.

[Aldemar muttering indistinctly]

Aldemar...

Aldemar...

Great Master.

- Ninibe.
- My great master, you are here.

[Aldemar] Where?

[Aldemar] You're pretty.

[Ninibe] How do you feel?

Better than ever,

but I need to rest.

Yes, you must rest.

The future, we made it!

Thanks to my good services,

we'll have plenty of time to talk,

to unite our forces,

for you to teach me all your knowledge.

Rest.

[sighs]

[Cristobal] How are you, better?

[Carmen] I don't remember anything,
only the dinner.

It hurts me a bit that you don't remember.

- What happened? Tell me.
- Don't you remember? Our marriage?

What?

Last night, I asked you to marry me.

And what was my answer?

Obviously yes.
We're getting married.

- I love you.
- I love you.

Carmen, I need to talk to you.

Will you excuse us, son?

Yes.

Please.

[Isobel] Now that
you'll be part of my family,

I want to give you some presents.

This is my grandmother's ring,

and I would like you to use it

as a symbol of your engagement to my son.

- Doña Isobel, thank you, but no.
- Thank me when I finish educating you.

Educating me?

Will I be able to study?

[Isobel] Of course!

Saying yes to my son...

is the start of a big learning process.

You'll have the best teachers
of etiquette, manners, diction.

Because being admitted
to the Cartagena society

in your condition won't be that easy.

And we don't want
our Cristobal to become a pariah.

That's why we give you this too.

Is this permission
to obtain my freedom?

You know the church doesn't allow
a master to marry a sl*ve.

So, Cristobal and I will convince Fernando
to free you.

It is an exceptional case,
but let's say

no one wants to face a witch.

And it will be easy
to get the governor's approval.

So, I will be freed
because they're afraid of me,

not because they think it is right?

Fear, justice, it doesn't matter!

Of course it matters.

Freedom is not a gift they give you.

It is a right.

- [Aldemar] What's this?
- A bike.

Bike,

carriage,

carriage.
Cartagena's carriage, the future.

I like it, I like it very much.

It is quite different
from the one...

[boy ] We keep the line
Keep the process


The sound from the Coast is always cool

Hey friend, tell me,
What's with that outfit?


Do you come from the fifties?

[boy ] Did you steal
your grandfather's clothes?


You look like a gorilla
With that beard and all that hair


If you go on with that madness,
I'll burn you at the stake!

[boy ] You should go to the madhouse
with such an awful outfit.


I want to go
to the dungeon to see Lucien.

I want to see him
in the worst conditions possible.

With no food...

and a wet, dark dungeon...

with rats slowly eating him
while he waits to be b*rned at the stake.

Aldemar, you should know
things have changed.

Justice works differently nowadays.

What do you mean different?

[Isobel]
Things in this house will change a bit.

As you know,
Carmen will marry my son.

[birds chirping]

Starting now,
she'll have a different chamber,

and you'll address her not as a sl*ve,

but as a family member.

Almost as you do with me.
You will wash her clothes

and prepare her meals.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Isobel,
but that won't happen.

I don't want any of them to take care
of me, make my bed or wash my clothes.

I understand that this new role...

will be difficult for you.

You have been used to following orders
all your life.

But this is what my son wants,

and I'm not planning
to lose him again.

Have you by chance thought about
asking me what I want?

Well, I can,
but what difference would that make?

Plenty.

I don't want them to take care of me
or look at me differently.

I'm just like them.

Do you want to continue being a sl*ve?

No, I don't want to be a sl*ve,
or to be like you.

You and I are the same.

Pardon me?

We are your slaves.

But you are a sl*ve to your husband,

to society, to your religion.

In the future,

we will decide what to do with our lives,

and say what we think without fear.

And if a man doesn't like
what we think, we'll just be alone,

it doesn't matter.

I don't want a privileged life or place
just because I am marrying Cristobal.

I have one already.

[footsteps]

But Cristobal can't marry a wild sl*ve.

He won't marry then.

Because I will not do it like this.

[clears throat]

Carmen.

[birds chirping]

There is light here...

the sun shines, it isn't cold...

you are not locked up like an animal.

But you are locked away,

while a judge decides what will happen
to him, if he'll be sent to prison.

As you can see,
this place is full of police.

He won't be able to escape from here.

That's not punishment enough,
I want to go see him.

See him?

No, I don't think that will be easy,
and it's not necessary either.

With all the evidence against him, I'm
sure he'll be locked away for a long time.

I don't care how long he'll be locked
away. I want him b*rned at the stake.

[Ninibe] Aldemar.

The stake no longer exists.

How are wizards k*lled then?

There is no death sentence
in this country.

What kind of justice is this?

It's called human rights,
it's something...

Human rights?
Who invented such a stupid thing?

I want him to pay for what he did to me.
I want revenge to relieve my heart!

I understand what you want.
But you must understand...

there are more than armed policemen
who can k*ll you,

if you try to do something to him.

Besides, how do you intend to enter?
Hypnotize people at the same time?

I can't do that.

[Ninibe] But a lawyer using magic can.

I'm sure there must be something else.

That's why not remembering
frustrates me so much, because I know

that deep inside my memories there is
something that justifies what he did.

I find it difficult not to see
Esteban as the culprit.

Look, he had Professor Ninibe
in his house.

- How would you explain that?
- I don't know, my love.

But very strange things
that we don't understand are happening.

Hey, I don't know what to do.

Daniel blocked me on everything,
and won't answer his phone.

Oh, baby,
when we get out of this situation,

I promise to help you,
I'll talk to him.

Get out of what situation?

Her memory, she's now obsessed
with knowing what happened to Esteban,

- to see if she can free him from this.
- [Jhony Ki] Excuse me. I already know

why we couldn't hypnotize you.
Your head blocked

all your traumatic memories.

You are afraid of remembering them.

According to the Internet,
the most important thing for you

is to stay relaxed in a quiet,
pretty place surrounded by nature.

Can you think of anywhere?

Can you?

[flamingos honking]

We'll try with this pendulum.

I saw it in a tutorial, close your eyes.

I'll start counting backwards,
and you'll repeat with me shouting.

Shouting?

Breathing deeply,
I only saw the fast tutorial.

Concentrate, concentrate. Thirty.

Thirty.

- Twenty-nine.
- Twenty-nine.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

This is not just any object,

and you don't play
with a pendulum cursed by a witch.

We were looking for the way
to hypnotize Mayte to know

what happened the night
Esteban kidnapped her...

- Took her...
- Jhony Ki.

Are you willing to know the truth?

I know Esteban is not bad,
but I can't find a reason

for all he did, and I am scared
of what I may remember.

We are on the right track then.

A truth that doesn't cause fear
is not true.

I'll help you, and on the way,
help my friend Esteban.

[flamingos honking]

She's ready.

You can ask whatever you want.

What happened the night
you met Professor Esteban?

I was with the guy from Tunder.

He tried to kiss me by force,
but I didn't want to.

Then a strange presence appeared...

and I got quite scared.

Then he put his hand on my forehead,

and I could see him exactly as he is.

Mayte...

I need to ask you a favor...

and it has to do with Carmen.

Then he invited me to his house
where he told me that Carmen

comes from a very powerful witch lineage.

That he has been
taking care of her and guiding her

since she arrived, because she must
face a very powerful enemy,

a wizard called Aldemar.

Aldemar?

I can't believe it!

He told me that
if I were Carmen's friend,

I should help her during this last test,
for her to become a major witch.

How do we know he's telling the truth?

You don't know that, you feel it.

I said yes, that I'd help her,
because Carmen deserves...

[sobs]...to be free and happy,
and I believed him.

You came back.

[Mayte] Yes.

[Mayte] Esteban doesn't lie.

I believed him
because I realized a great truth.

He'd never hurt Carmen
because he loves her deeply.

[flamingos honking]

[police officer]
Sir, the public defender is here.

Look, the public prosecutor's office
authorized him to take care of the case.

- Excuse me.
- Thank you.

A very comfortable dungeon, isn't it?

I like living in the future.

How did you get here?

Carmen helped me.

Did you force her to open the portal?

What did you do to her?

[Aldemar] I led her through the right way,
a simple housewife,

beside her great love, Cristobal,
and she, in return, politely

opened the time portal for me
to steal all of the great wizards' magic

and put the world at my feet.

Carmen is special.

More powerful than her own mother.

And when she gets her powers back...

she won't be as compassionate as I was.

You fell in love.

That has always been
your problem, too soft-hearted.

Do what you came to do, Aldemar.

I'll turn you into ashes,
your bones and flesh into ashes.

[Aldemar mutters]

Beg me for mercy
if you hate me that much.

You should have k*lled me
if you hate me that much.

Why didn't you do it?

Because though you are
the worst person I know,

you are still my father, the same one
that deeply loved my mother,

until he found out she was
more powerful than him.

You'll never be like her.

I'll be more powerful.

Lucien, son, I need you.

I have a deal for you.
You are more powerful than me.

But I have a head for everything.

The two of us together
will make a great team.

I'm very lonely.

Ally with me.

I'll never be on your side, Aldemar.

Never.

What did you come for?

Senohia insusta, sineris.

Hey, hey, what's going on?
Is everything okay?

I could hear shouting from outside.

Everything is okay.

We are rehearsing for the defense.

Sorry.

I'll be back.

But next time I won't waste time
proposing a deal.

- Thank you.
- Go ahead.

If you thought marrying me
was that terrible,

you could have told me that last night.

My love, I don't remember
what happened last night.

And I don't think it is terrible,
it is just too soon.

Carmen, you are eighteen, I am nineteen.

And we love each other.

Or do we? Is that it?

I travelled across time because of you.

Do you really think I don't love you?

Why don't you want to marry me then?

It is not that I don't want to, my love.

It's just that becoming a married woman
with the rules of this world

and at this time,

no, my love.

Why don't we just go steady,
have more experiences together?

For example, we can study.

Carmen, what did they do to you there?

[waves crashing]

You are not the same anymore.

My love, I'm not the same but I'm better.

The future is full of possibilities,

not only to study but also
to meet people, make friends.

If you had lived what I've lived,
you'd understand me.

But I didn't.

The best I can offer you
in this life is to make you

a free woman as my wife.

I want real freedom.

You don't like this time.

It is as if you no longer belong here.

[waves crashing]

Do you want to go back to the future?

[man] Help!

[man] Help!

- [Carmen] One moment.
- Help!

[Carmen]
One moment, one moment, I can heal you.

Help me! [gasps]

It hurts a lot. [groans]

Satus, insirus, satus,
make the wound heal at this moment.

[man gasps]

Help me!

Satus, insirus, satus, make the wound
close in this instant.

- [Cristobal] It doesn't work.
- [man groans]

I don't understand
what's happening, I lost my powers.

[Carmen] It doesn't show.
