True magic occurs when family is together.

- The great Mellie

Mexican magician and illusionist

[Street sounds]

[Machine speaks]

Rub my palm with silver.

Let my crystal globe

unveil your future.

Please insert the coin.

[suspense music]

No, really, thank you very much.

No, no, thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

No, thank you very much.

No, really, no.

Thank you very much.

Please trust in what

I have to say...

Will you join me?

I'm going to tell you everything

that the future holds for you

Seriously, trust this gypsy.

[Medea voice-over]

Every great magic trick,

every spectacular scam

and every unusual love story

always hide in the background

a mystery and a deception.

[Medea voice-over continues]

Every family always has someone

who sooner or later sacrifices

himself to protect others.

And those who do not know their history

are condemned to repeat it forever.

[Rumble sound]

[Old song playing]

Mom.

You have been appearing in my

dreams over and over again.

What do you have to tell me?

You do whatever it takes

to defend your children from any danger

that could jeopardize their future.

Medea, I come to give you

a mission.

Long ago I began a struggle to heal

a betrayal that weighs on the family.

because of your grandparents,

but I couldn't finish it.

Now you are the one who

must put an end to it.

Are you okay, sis?

It's showtime.

[Medea voice-over] If your mom was the most

wanted thief in the country

and your dad is the best

illusionist in America.

You should assume that

the account of all your

karmas may have to be paid

by you and your siblings.

And if you consider yourself a worthy

heir, you should have a trick ready.

spectacular to disappear without a trace.

Especially if you have committed

the coup of your life.

One week before...

[Bar sounds]

Hello? Compadre?

I had to come earlier

to sieze the situation.

Yes, everything is fine.

The Japanese will arrive at seven

and the private room is ready.

Then we'll have dinner

and then to your joint.

Remember, pure young lady.

This way we'll force them

to sign on the spot.

The mustang is repaired.

The Japanese would love to ride around

in a red convertible, don't you think?

Isn't it, compadre?

Well? Compadre?

The battery run out

on this piece of shiet.

If I may, can I charge

your phone on the bar?

I'd keep an eye

in case it rings

and bring it to you to

continue your call, sir.

What about you?

Do you like to be overhearing

other people's conversations?

No, I just try to be attentive

to offer a better service.

I haven't seen you here before,

but you look familiar.

I worked at the House of Games

and at the Nine Queens.

Maybe I had the pleasure of

serving you there.

Of course, of course.

I remembered.

You helped me get that drunk out

of the Nine Queens, didn't you?

It was you, of course.

I don't know what you

are talking about, sir.

As I've said,

I'm very discreet.

That's the way!

I like your style.

Look, come.

I organize some

social events and

someone like you, who

keeps his mouth shut

would be perfect to

attend my guests.

Call me on the weekend, okay?

And yes, I trust you.

[Bar sounds and music]

[Merlin imitates the person's voice]

Compadre, the battery run out on this sh*t.

Please send the Mustang

to the club right away.

At the entrance you'll hand the keys

to a waiter who is a friend of mine.

He'll give you one of my cards

so you know it's him.

Okay?

[Rock music]

[Phone call]

Brother, I am Medea.

I hope you can listen this

as soon as possible.

Its an emergency.

Dad is missing.

I can't find him anywhere.

I even reported it to the police.

Please look for it.

Do you know where Houdini is?

[Calm music]

[Door opens]

Hello, good afternoon.

The costume party starts later.

In addition, you need a

vip wristband for access.

And obviously another outfit because

the one you're wearing is zero cool.

It's not a costume,

it's my work clothes.

I am the locksmith.

Sorry, I was waiting for you.

Come in, come in.

What a great costume

you are wearing.

It's not a costume,

it's my work clothes.

So what's the problem?

I can't find the key.

Don't worry, that's very easy.

Really?

I can't find the key

to the lock.

My dominated has been willing to go

to the bathroom for over an hour.

Shut up!

Weren't you a masochist?

Why don't you go down

to welcome your guests.

This will take sime time because

the hardware is very rusty.

But we'll release the boy soon.

Trust me.

Well, that's fine.

What a crybaby you are.

[imitating a baby's cry]

[Door open]

Happy halloween.

[Marimba music]

[Engine car, car stop]

You were recommended by

Cuquis Urrea and Nena Solrzano.

It worked very well for them

that you hypnotized them.

How can I help you?

Oh, I'm dying of embarrassment.

Besides, for someone like me,

it's an inconvenience, because

Because it looks bad for a

society girl to be a kleptomaniac.

How did you know?

Oh, you told her?

You truly are half a witch.

No, I saw you in the waiting room.

You grabbed my Buddha.

It's hot in here, isn't it?

Support me!

I just can't help it.

In other words, I'm getting

a reputation as a thief.

Hypnosis is so effective

to stop certain behaviors

that its results may seem magical.

Veme.

[Suspense music]

[Lightning sound]

Sara.

Listen to me.

You are going to do everything I ask

you to do because my words are orders.

Yes, madame.

Repeat after me: I will not steal.

I will not steal.

Taking what is not mine is wrong.

Taking what is not mine is wrong.

If I do so, I will feel that a divine fire

will burn my hands and my screams

will give me away as a vile thief.

If I do, I will feel a divine fire

burning my hands and my screams

they will give me away as a vile thief.

Don't judge me. Support me.

Thief stealing from a kleptomaniac

has 100 years of forgiveness.

Thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful

I'm glad that you like it.

It wasn't necessary, anyway I'm gonna sleep with you all night.

Shut up brass, they can hear us

Hear? Haha. That's funny.

well, your father can see us and he understand the sign language

I also have a gift for you.

Close your eyes.

Common, close your eyes!

It's you and me!

Thank you.

Happy anniversary sweetie.

Don Belmond.

Don Belmond.

Come and see this.

They are talking about Mr. Melli.

Come.

Merlin, they're talking about your dad.

[Voice on TV] Mexico's best wizard

is on the verge of death.

The great Mli, a renowned illusionist

who for decades was an idol.

is hospitalized, struggling

between the here and the hereafter.

Abracadabra!

[On TV] He was abandoned by his parents at the

Belmond Circus when he was just a baby,

and the artists raised him,

becoming his real family.

[TV continues] He enjoyed international

fame thanks to his

"Abracadabra" program, with

which he broke audience records,

and his appearances in several films

as a leading man and vigilante.

This led him to found a chain

of costume and magic stores called

"The macabre house Abracadabra".

But just as I was sharing the show with

Medea, Merlin and Houdini,

a tragedy occurred.

The strange death of Cassandra,

his wife and life partner,

led him to step away from the stage

just at the peak of his career.

Little by little he was

consumed by oblivion.

The idol of young and

old did not come back

for a decade, until today,

when he was admitted to the

a sanatorium due to health problems and

according to reports,

his life is in danger.

The arcana say we are a disgrace.

We only got together to see my

dad because of a misfortune.

No, that's not tarot, sis.

It is your claim.

You are a control freak.

To see him we have to ask you

for an appointment.

I don't visit him cause I hate

to see him so defeated.

He's been a hermit for years,

locked up in his house,

full of trash, doing

who knows what.

Haven't you noticed

that he is depressed?

Hey.

We were all affected by my mom's

death, but we moved on, didn't we?

He got stuck living

in a melodrama.

He lost store franchises,

has no savings.

He's really f*cked up!

Once we are with him, can you keep

your comments to yourself?

I promise not to say a word.

Like his girlfriend.

As the girlfriend of this one?

Don't mess with Angela's disability.

You are a brute. You have

the advantage of your wife

can't talk and you still won't marry her.

At least I have someone

to love me.

You? You're lonelier than Medea.

But for pleasure. Not like her that

no one can stand her.

Sons.

Oh, what happiness to see you together

to come see me.

Though it is in these

unfortunate circumstances.

Outside are the reporters.

They want to know

what happened.

Is the media reporting the news?

Wizard, what were you doing alone

in a cemetery at midnight?

The truth is...

I was planning a coup.

Your mother and I were involved in it.

[Disturbing sound]

But how is my mom

involved in this?

Cassandra and I Could not conclude

the coup do to his sudden death.

And there it is...

The past...

Coming to collect what we owe him.

A long time ago

A millionaire contacted her.

Truth is that I never saw him.

But what I do know is that he

paid her for the entire job.

When your mother died,

he disappeared.

[Piano Music]

But a few months ago,

someone came to see me.

It was the messenger.

Who is this millionaire?

[sound of lightning]

Someone who is capable of anything.

Anything!

On the anniversary

of your mother's death.

He looked for me and [lightning sound]

finally found me.

He knew she used to

read the future

to corrupt politicians and then

stole from them to help the poor.

He knew of his dual identity

and he also knew she was

very good at risky assaults.

Please sit.

You see...

I am part of an ancient lodge.

We collect corpses.

Unusual corpses.

Corpses of chosen ones

and enlightened ones that help us

communicate with other dimensions.

But I am missing a promised piece.

You still owe us the twin mummy.

Dad, when I arrived,

the nuns gave me this.

You had it in your jacket.

After a tour over Europe,

the twin mummy arrives to this city.

The most recognized piece of the museum

of Guanajuato that will be

exhibited at the Belen Cemetery.

Why didn't you show it to us?

Let's see.

Were you planning to steal a dead body?

No. Not any dead person.

Precisely that mummy.

The twin mummy is the most famous corpse

on display in the Guanajuato museum.

People are shaken by its tragic

romantic legend, you know?

I don't remember

what it is about.

Yadira and Violeta

were twin sisters who lived in the city

of Guanajuato and who, in the middle of

of the last century were orphaned

and inherited a grocery store.

Both were in love with Lauro,

a farmer from here in Jalisco

who wanted to marry Violeta.

As he was poor,

he went to California

to make his fortune

and he promised Violet

that when he came back

He would take her to the altar

and build for her a huge estate

where they would be happy.

But Yadira, who hated not being

the chosen one by Lauro

m*rder*d her sister with a stab wound

to the heart and then committed suicide.

The bodies went to the mass grave

and due to the minerals of the

region, they were mummified.

Eventually, both were

exhibited in the museum.

Several years later, Lauro

returned to Guanajuato as a don.

It is said that he owned

a fortune in jewelry.

and that she was bringing a pair

of diamond rings for her wedding.

When he learned of the tragedy,

full of sadness, he went to the

museum and paid for Violeta's corpse.

Lauro bought the promised hacienda and

built a crypt in the garden where he

buried himself alive with his

fortune and the mummy of his beloved.

The twin mummy was not a

known object years ago.

For this reason, and out

of respect for your grief,

I did not look for you to

complete the contract.

He comes to claim what is his.

Help me, please, I have

to go get that corpse.

But November 2 is in a

week. You can barely move.

I must steal that corpse because,

because I have to save you.

What do you mean, save us?

Why do you have to save us, pa?

Why would you risk your life

to complete the mission.

I need you to deliver it to me

before someone else steals it.

What if I don't get it?

If you fail, you could

compensate us

with that of any of your

three talented sons.

I have to keep my word and

keep your mother's word.

Because you are in danger

and I will not allow it.

[Fire sound]

Brothers, we have to plan a perfect

coup in less than four days.

I agree.

It's been a long time since dad

had such determination.

In spite of how ill he is and his age.

I don't know, I'm still not convinced.

Ah, money!

Mellidollars!

Do you remember these bills?

I used to exchange them for

marbles, for candy, with my...

And here's how handsome my

dad looked. Just like me.

In fact, I'll bet you a

million of these

if the collector's threat

is pure bluff.

I haven't seen one of these

in years.

How long ago since the three

of us were here?

About 20 years?

I remember you and mom

used to hang out there

reading cards at each other.

And you were her in the costumes,

trying one after another.

And imitating the voices

of incoming customers?

No.

At eight, you learned how to

open my dad's safe.

He was so angry cause you took

his porn movies.

He made me. He wanted them.

- Me?

- Yes. Don't you remember?

- Hey.

- What?

Did you and mom did ever

hypnotized each other?

You know it's impossible

between relatives.

If possible, she would have

taken away your fear

to ask for Angela's hand.

Right, right.

- Have you seen this?

- What?

What a beauty.

What?

You want to open it, don't you?

If you wanto to, go for it.

- What is it?

- A security alarm.

Security for what?

Those things only have

affective value.

Exactly.

It's not logical for Dad to have

such an alarm installed.

[Machine voice]

Hello.

Please tell me the

security code.

Abracadabra.

[Machine voice] Sorry, this is not the voice

registered in the system.

Please tell me the

security code.

My dad! Talk like my dad.

Abracadabra.

[Machine voice]

Correct voice.

The code is invalid.

First unsuccessful attempt.

Will it be the name

of one of us?

The name of his

prefered child?

Merlin.

[Machine voice]

Failed code.

Houdini.

[Machine voice]

Failed code.

Medea.

[Machine voice] You have only one attempt left

or the alarm will be activated.

Is it my mother's name?

No, wait.

[Rumble sound]

Children... Children!

Try with children.

Are you sure, sister?

[Machine voice]

With the selected voice.

If dad didn't choose

an individual name

is because together we are the most

valuable thing in his life.

Children.

[Machine sound]

You may come in.

Come in where?

[Door open]

How so?

Well, I guess it's a trick we

didn't know about the great Melli.

[Suspense music]

[Spooky scream]

Plese grow old.

Look, a macabre clown.

Have you ever been here?

No, never.

Look, look, look.

Ouch. What's that?

It's a rat.

Isn't there a switch?

[Houdini screams]

So big and such a coward.

I got burned

with the oil lamp.

What about this

shaggy girl?

Ah, it is a replica.

It looks amazing.

Looks like it was made

by Don Vicente's.

It's made of rubber.

Of course.

My dad hid a replica of the

mummy here

because all this has to do with

the organization of the coup.

Now I know what he has

done in the last 10 years.

This is my mom's handwriting.

These are the plans of the coffin

they used during the mummy tour.

It has the exact measurements

and design details.

What's my dad doing with a

safe-cracking instruction manual?

Hey, don't you guys think

it's a little weird?

Our parents were supposed to steal

the priceless mummy from the museum

and that's what they designed

this movie plan we see, right?

But I don't see any trace of that

plan or any photos of Guanajuato.

I think he discarded it when they took

the mummy to Europe

and then moved to the plan of

the Belen pantheon.

Here are several detail

shots that my mom made.

This means that my mom was

at that hacienda several times.

It must be this one here.

That is Lauro's ranch.

Which Lauro?

Lauro.

Lauro, the groom.

The twin's boyfriend. The rich man.

The one who made the hacienda.

But then, why did they planed the coup

on the hacienda and not on the museum?

Well, to begin with, because

it was closer to them.

Because this hacienda is not

in Guanajuato.

It's 1 hour from here.

And for the treasure

in the legend.

What does it say?

Lauro was buried alive with

his beloved and his fortune.

He buried himself with

his fortune and his wife.

Like the pharaohs, who buried

themselves with their treasures,

his servants and puppies.

Well, it wasn't puppys,

it was kittens.

Ok, ok... Excuse me,

Miss documentary.

What I mean is that in the crypt,

in addition to the corpses, there

should also be Lauro's diamonds.

No?

Are you crazy?

You can't enter that hacienda.

Come back.

Easy, pa.

We reviewed all the information that you

and mom collected over the years.

and we know by heart the

new plan to enter the ranch.

Why didn't you tell us

you wanted to include us?

The thing is I decided to

abort the mission

when I saw that it was

too dangerous.

We already know what you

wanted each of us to do.

Hey, pa, you and mom decided

to rob the mausoleum

to take the mummy for the collector

and to kept Lauro's jewelry, right?

To be honest,

that's right.

Your mother discovered

that before crossing

the border, Lauro exchanged

all his money for diamonds.

Some of those where put in his wedding

rings and the rest he swallowed.

Why what?

So as not to declare

anything to customs.

I am about to become

Roque Malacara,

the godson of the new

owner of the hacienda.

I checked the videos you got

from Roque.

I copied his voice,

his movements.

I know that this woman loves him

like a son and that the only way

to enter the ranch is by

impersonating him

and I'll do it, wizard.

Exactly.

That was the intention of including

you and your siblings in the plan.

But I regret it.

So I don't want you

to go there.

But why not?

Just because.

If you thought the collector

was someone dangerous,

[Storm sound]

the owner of the hacienda

is pure evil.

[Strike sound]

[Suspense music]

We all know that Agatha Villaseor is

the most powerful cacique in the region.

For more than 50 years, it has blatantly

stolen from hundreds of indigenous people.

protected by the old political system

that we want to overthrow today.

We have witnessed how she

destroys all those who

confrented her.

[Flattened skull]

She is an evil, sinister,

perverse woman,

raised in the sewers of power.

The land that used to

belong to the peasants

is now a territory with

no law but her own.

And that she lives confined and

protected by a former commander.

Palemn Cruz, better

known as "El Hacha",

is a corrupt, bloodthirsty cop,

that as he was discharged

from the police forces

became that lady's

head of security,

[music]

leading a group of hired K*llers

that maintain the ranch as

an impenetrable fortress.

El Sapo, la Pedrada,

Rmulo, Remo, la Gusana.

It is unfortunate that the judge

ruled in her favor again.

But I want to tell you this.

From here, from the prosecutor's office,

we are going to work very

hard to make that lady

pay for everything he has

stolen from the people

all that it has taken from him.

And I am convinced that

very soon, finally,

justice will be done.

[Laughs]

Congratulations, ma'am.

I told you so.

This judge would not fail.

It was all a matter of making

the right proposal.

[Loud music]

[Medea voice-over]

And so, despite the warnings,

we set out on our adventure to close

a cycle initiated by our parents.

We were going to meet some

very dangerous people.

So we had to behave as if

we were crazier than them.

We knew we were heding

into the lion's den.

But we all have a weakness...

and Doa Agatha's was

her godson Roque.

The only person who could enter

and leave the hacienda at will.

So we would take advantage of my

brother Merlin's resemblance to him.

We were going to get into that

ranch even if it was by force.

Let me in.

Let me in.

That you let me in.

Aren't you going

to let me in?

What's that mess?

It is my home!

Let's see, what's going on?

Leave me alone, Roque!

I didn't do anything!

How many times have I told

you not to contradict me?

Because I destroy you.

Godmother, I missed you.

Roque, what are you doing here?

Don't tell me you escaped

from the annex.

We send you to that clinic

to control your violent side.

He can't control his anger.

You shut up.

Or I'll knock your teeth out

and you'll necome a

good looking, baldy.

How so?

And toothless.

I'm fine now, Nina.

I am cured of everything,

even my gambling addiction.

Are you sure you are no longer

addicted to casinos and gambling?

For sure.

Do you want to bet?

You see I was fine, but this

wretch wouldn't let me in.

He came with unknown people.

They are my friends, you moron.

Commander, call the clinic

to let them know he escaped.

We'll call right away.

No, that's not necessary, ma'am.

Roque is under my care.

I am Dr. Vadillo.

Good afternoon.

Allow me to inform you that

your godchild has been

discharged from the annex.

I'm old, but not blind.

Improvement?

Just look at it.

Roque, you calm down or you'll

be back to the desert house

washing the latrines

with the tongue, ok?

No, it's okay, it's okay.

I'll calm down.

I'll calm down.

There it is.

I've calmed down.

I can't believe it.

Miracle.

I told you, it's under control.

Wait a minute, doctor!

Wait a minute!

And why were we not informed

by the general manager

of the rehabilitation center where this

donkey-faced b*stard was waxed.

The thing is, it's not official yet,

but he really wanted to visit you.

He asked my permission to come.

- Really, mijo?

- Yes.

- You wanted to see me?

- Yes.

I thought you were very angry

with me for sending you there.

Well, at the beginning

I thought I'll get revenge by

taking out Remo's

remaining eye.

But then I thought:

give that satisfation to your Nina Agatha

to be less toxic.

- So I applied myself.

- Ay, mijo.

Oh, my king.

Let's see, my king.

You look different to me.

Different how, Nina?

As if you were someone else.

Of course he is another one.

You wanted him to change

and we delivered.

It is very difficult to explain.

It looks the same

on the outside, but...

There's something weird

I don't like.

We don't like.

There is something weird.

Yes, very weird.

Something strange.

Stranger than a honest politician.

I'm almost sure

it's his energy.

Well, his energy is different because

we took the wildness of him,

didn't we, Roque?

Yes, I'm not wild anymore, I'm gentle.

But.

But he neither smell

like he used to.

No, he doesn't.

He smells worse.

It does not smell as usual.

No, it doesn't smell like

always, it smells like never.

It's not his humor.

His humor is definitely not.

No, it is not him!

This is not my Roque!

Hold on, hold on!

Calm down

That's, that's not your Roque.

And it is not your Roque

because it is now mine.

And if it smells different, it's

because he has my scent all over it.

Gusana, throw a bucket

of ice water on them.

Ah, so you are the commander.

That's me, queen.

But you tell me axe or hatchet.

Or Palemon.

She is my girlfriend!

What a great joke!

Her name is Virginia and she comes

from a very hot place.

Very hot.

Tell me something, dear.

Are you really her girlfriend?

- Yes

- Why is she moaning?

Virginia is addicted... To bed.

It is obvios that she is... lazy.

She's lazy. Actually she is...

Love? Why don't we give it to her?

To whom?

To your godmother, the

gift you brought her.

We brought you a little gift.

What are you doing, bith?

Open the gift, nina.

You open it, Commander,

I don't want to get infected.

Gusana, you open it,

I don't want to get infected.

I made it with my own

hands in the annex, Nina.

[Piano music]

If you see little blood, it's because

I sliced the hand of the

one who criticized it.

Oh, it's me!

How wonderful!

I have never received

anything so beautiful!

It is so valuable!

It was my girlfriend's idea.

Oh, lovebirds, I'm happy.

Welcome to your home. Very welcome.

Doctor.

[whining]

It was so close!

What happened, Medea?

Why couldn't you

hypnotize her?

I tried, but I couldn't.

She pulled the cane.

That necklace is a

tiger's eye amulet.

And I'm sure she has a

talisman on her necklace.

Well, first step achived. We are now

inside the hacienda.

Step two.

There is the crypt.

That.

Let's see.

Agatha celebrates

November 2 every year.

Mom knew it was the

perfect date to sneak in,

because everyone will be

looking out for the guests.

And you know what?

That party is today,

so get ready.

[dog barks]

What up?

The dog doesn't recognize

your smell, Roque.

I just changed lotion.

If you want, we can let

him play for a while.

No, leave it there.

He looks tired, Sapo.

[dog barks]

[Mystical music]

Oh, how handsome.

What a great party, Mrs. Agatha.

Aren't you worried that with so

many guests, a thief might sneak in?

There is no safer place

than this ranch, doctor.

Don't worry.

We are not afraid of thieves.

The thieves are the ones afraid

to senak in and get caught!

[Laughs]

I'll tell the truth:

this lady doesn't need

any of us.

She is self-sufficient.

He has a barbaric aim

with the shotgun.

Besides, I've hunted all kinds

of animals

from the ones we'll have for dinner

up to an american buffalo.

That's my favorite trophy at home.

I have it stored in the library,

with my other treasures.

Please excuse me: I need to go to the

bathroom and call the clinic.

May I?

Just pull the lever.

Girl.

Do you know where Roque is?

Please excuse her

indecent manners.

She's not from here, she's

from Aguascalientes.

And how do they call you?

Nymphomaniacs.

No to those of Aguascalientes.

Ah!

Commander,

find Roque for me before she boils.

- Commander!

- What happened?

Look for Roque!

Sure, sure... I'll do.

Easy, easy.

For Roque, I go.

Nice girl, isn't she?

Viejo. Those from Aguascalientes

are called hidroclidas.

And if you continue to see her that way,

you will be called the castrated.

[Dramatic music]

[Creepy scream]

You scared me!

Where is Merlin?

I just saw him.

He left the tools next to the crypt

and told us to put this on.

[Epic music]

Salud!

I've got you by the short

and curlies, m*therf*cker.

Pre-Hispanic food.

Roque, you look so handsome.

He seems dehydrated.

Madam, rumor has it that you took

your godson out of foster care.

And then adopted him. Is it true?

Yes.

At that time I was on

political campaign.

And my consultant told me

that if the electorate realized

that I was rescuing from the street

to a child or a puppy, my

points were going to go up.

So, not to make a mistake,

I took both of them

to my speech.

And do you know what he did

when he was next to the dog

and in front of the public?

He bit the dog.

[laughs]

And I infected it with rabies.

[laughs]

Madam, the musicians are ready.

Dear friends, I now invite you to enjoy

the extraordinary voice of the famous

international soprano Alba del Llano.

[applause]

[Opera music]

What's up?

They put glue on the inside and

it cannot be opened with a key.

The chain must be cut

And now?

[metal noises]

[dog barks]

Easy, easy, easy.

Merlin said if we wore

Agatha's clothes

the dogs would do nothing to us.

I don't blame him.

We smell like Chernovil.

[chain breaks]

[Opera music]

[Sound of moving stone]

[sound of metal falling to the ground]

f*ck.

They will hear us!

There are no diamonds.

Hide!

[Opera music continues]

[Sound of moving stone]

[Opera music continues]

[Audience applauds]

If the twin mummy is not here

So the theory is true.

Which theory?

We are going to look for the

jewels in the old woman's safe.

No, Houdini.

Agatha said she had her

treasures hidden in the library.

We must seize the moment.

It is dangerous.

Medea, I'm not leaving

empty-handed.

Hey, no, no.

[window opens]

I'm staying here.

Agatha talked about a buffalo.

[Mystery music]

Hurry up, hurry up.

Hey!

What does it do?

Calm down.

No one can be here.

How did you open?

Calm down.

Look at my eyes.

Look at my eyes.

I can't, I'm cross-eyed.

Let's see what the

commander says.

In the meantime, you are

under arrest. Move!

Oh, Gusanita.

But hey.

Hey, but don't point at me!

Come on!

Such beautiful hair

you have.

[Suspense music]

Don't leave her alone, Roque.

Someone might stole her.

What happened?

Nothing. I'll tell you later.

It's Lauro!

And he tells me: No, it's just that

I'm with the girl from the taran.

Which taran?

So I asked him.

And he says to me: taran!

Can I?

Yes, come in.

Oh, children, I'm so glad you came.

Look who came out of

his tent to visit me.

Don Belmond.

Applause.

And those chocolates?

He brought them.

I did not ask for them.

Please sit down.

I'm going to work

announcing the two shows

of the day.

Darling.

Good to see you.

Take care of and support your

father in any way you can.

It's worst than I thought.

Well, will you now tell me

what happened?

All wrong, Dad.

The twin mummy was not

in the tomb.

Someone beat us to it.

What do you mean

it wasn't there?

I think Agatha sold it.

On the altar of the dead she had

Lauro's picture.

That means she knows the legend

and she knows what was in the tomb.

In Lauro's tomb there

were no diamonds either.

And in the safe there were only papers.

We brought Lauro's corpse with us.

Maybe we can give it to the collector.

in the meantime, to negotiate.

I'm almost sure last night

at the hacienda

I saw the messenger

you told us about.

The collector...

I can do it alone!

f*ck!

He will not leave us in...

Dad... Dad!

Help me!

Wizard...

Go get someone.

Quickly, quickly.

Wizard. Wizard, breathe.

Here I am with you. Wizard.

Oh, I don't feel good at all.

No, no, no. Breathe, breathe.

I can't.

I am here. I am with you.

Son. Take care of everything.

Don't say that. Wizard.

I can't breathe.

No. Wizard. Wizard, breathe.

Easy, easy, easy.

All right, everybody out of here.

Can you leave, please?

[door slams]

Brothers

We can't let my dad down.

We need a plan B.

What do you mean by plan B?

Hello, I'm Milton Winkler, responsible

for the tour that has taken

our national heritage to

different countries in Europe.

It is a pleasure to be here again

in our homeland, with

all of you.

Out of the 100 pieces exhibited in

the collection at Guanajuato

the Twin Mummy is the

most famous of all.

It is an honor that the Twin Mummy

is here in our city today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

First of all, I would like to

sincerely thank

to the authorities of the

Pantheon of Belen Museum

for given us the opportunity to use this

unique and wonderful space in the city.

Well, ladies and gentlemen

of the media

Flash photography is not allowed.

The twin mummy.

[Tension music]

I ask you to come with me

by pairs in order to

to take a closer look to

the reason of our visit.

Please accompany me, carefully.

The rest of you, please stay here.

at the foot of the steps

and wait your turn.

Please.

Just look at this beauty.

[Camera clicks]

One question.

Yes, tell me.

Has anyone ever tried to

steal the twin mummy?

Well, unfortunately in Madrid

we had an attempted robbery,

but we were able to prevent it,

so we took action.

To answer your question, Miss,

stealing the twin mummy

is practically impossible.

Yes, yes, yes. Give me 20 minutes

and I'll come get you sister.

I just left Merlin at the circus

and I have some things to do.

Ok,

Let's see what you keep here with

such zeal, dear Agatha.

[door close]

Was this in the safe?

In a safety deposit box

inside the safe.

What you see is Agatha's

most precious object.

You told me there was nothing.

Why did you lie?

I didn't want you to have

false expectations.

I wanted to check if

it was the jewelry.

I have just opened it.

This confirms my theory about

what happened to mom.

This changes everything.

Which theory?

Twice now.

I'm not going to tell you

right now.

Explain it to me,

cause I don't get it.

[patrol siren sounds]

f*ck!

Relax.

Hide that.

[Police]

Hello, my friend.

Good afternoon. Any problem?

No, just here for a routine

check-up, right, buddy?

Yes, but we are not doing

anything wrong.

Excuse the inconvenience.

It's just the car caught

our attention.

Nice ride, well treated.

Yes, thanks.

Truth is I'm in a hurry.

Don't worry.

It won't take long.

We'll just check a few things.

Okay.

Positive?

Talk to the captain.

Boss

Tell your compadre

we found his car.

It still has the same plate.

We'll take it to you.

Please, gentleman.

Don't see me

Calm down, calm down.

Easy, easy, easy.

[fights and blows]

[motorcycle sound]

Thank you very much, Stanley.

I've loved this popcorn

ever since I was a kid.

Thank you.

What's up kid?

Don Belmond.

What happened?

How is your dad?

Bad.

After you left, he received

bad news and got worse.

I am here to ask you a favor.

What are we good for?

What can Belmond Circus

do for you?

To put on a show that could help us

save my dad's life.

A show?

Is there a risk of

losing the circus?

Would my little carrot

be in any danger?

And would you allow it?

Of course not.

Do you know why the old circus guard

greets each other like this?

This is how the catcher grabs

his partners on the trapeze.

Their lives depend on him,

on how he holds them.

Count on us, my boy.

We will not let you fall.

Thank you very much, Mr. Belmond.

Thank you.

What happened, Medea?

[motorcycle sound]

What's up, little brother?

Did you got a nose job?

You should have seen how

I left their fists.

Poor guys.

Angela.

Good to see you.

Although I would have preferd under

different circumstances.

Me too.

Wizard. What are you doing here?

Merlin, we need to talk.

No, no.

I was fooled.

We were deceived.

The two of them are accomplices, Houdini.

We were played, as always.

The great Melli is not dying.

Everything is a lie.

Would you have preferred Dad was

convalescing for real?

No.

I would have preferred not been

distressed for his health

while risking my life

playing Roque.

Let me explain.

A few months ago I told Medea

that I had met the collector.

She was the one who suggested that I fake

the heart attack so I could trick him.

If the media announced that I was on the

verge of death, I would have more time.

Do you understand me, son?

And I think it's a great

plan, but why lie to us?

For us to make the strike.

My dad didn't ask us

to do anything.

No.

He just used the basic

principle of the swindler.

He made us give him our

trust on our own account.

Specially having you as a

procurer at his side.

No, he did not ask for help.

But he wanted us to come to

the macabre house

to find the secret room

understand the plan and pool

our talents to execute it.

It was necessary, understand it.

You don't know it, but my wife,

Cassandra, your mother,

sacrificed herself in order to solve

the mystery that has been hanging

over the family for a long time.

The answer to that mystery

was held by a cacique.

My mom noticed when

she read his palm.

So she became her friend.

When she confirmed everything,

she decided to act alone.

The cacique found out,

felt betrayed and therefore

k*lled your mother.

And it turns out that this cacique

is none other than Agatha Villaseor.

This...

This is the kerchief your mother was

wearing the last time I saw her.

And then, when we found the body,

she was no longer wearing it.

It was in the old woman's safe.

For Agatha it is a hunting trophy.

Do you think all this was necessary

to help you find the m*rder*r?

No.

No, but they would have ruined it

because you would have been

motivated by revenge.

You wouldn't been as natural

as you were.

Tell me something.

If you had known, would you have

been kind and playful with Agatha?

Of course not.

Your passion, your pain

would have given you away.

Same to you.

I know you.

[slams table]

Look, Dad

I entered this sham

for the diamonds

and cause you offered half of them

if I found them.

Yes, sis.

You are not the only one

who agreed with him.

So I was the only one who was not

in communication with you, son.

Don't come near me.

It pisses me off you think I was not

capable of understanding the plan

its motives.

I took a chance.

Well, at least we didn't hurt

Houdini as you did.

Because he's like this

because of you.

Hey, stop fighting.

I accept my karma.

Why do you think everyone

walks away from you?

Why do you think

you are alone?

At least I have initiative.

You haven't formalized your

relationship with Angela.

Do you know why?

Because you have no authority.

You have no character.

You have no decision.

You have no voice.

Because you do not exist.

Merlin!

Daughter, let him go.

No...

It's just that...

Without Merlin, there is no plan.

Hey, where are you going?

Go back with your family.

To what?!

Dont yell at me.

I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU!

Yes! You're talking to me with capital letters.

THATS NOT TRUE!

Why are you so angry with your sister?

Im more angry with myself.

Medea is right.

I copycat and steal personalities

because I am afraid to know who I am...

...or what I'm not.

I like who you are when you're with me.

[nusic playing]

I would like that you realize

who you are, and what are you capable.

and i would love be by your side

when you figure out.

Merlin was right.

We should have been

honest with him.

He's such a p*ssy.

We are all professional liars.

I'm sorry.

I feel so bad cause I have not been

a good father to you.

I could not keep you together.

As you see

your brother is no longer with us.

Now we have to sacrifice.

Look, this is the new plan.

Especially you, Houdin,

you're so rapturous.

Ok.

If this is to avenge my Mom's death

and put Agatha in jail, let's do it.

You came to early.

You interrupted me.

You told me to wait 3 minutes.

6 minutes.

But I that was my cue.

That was not your cue.

Where did we leave off?

Do you know what timing is?

Timing? Of course it is.

The rhythm. That has always

been your problem.

But I said the motivational phrase.

No, no motivational phrase.

Let's see, let's see, let's see.

Did you come to an agreement?

Oh, you have no voice.

You have no initiative.

Stop it, kids.

Hey, really, don't take it personally.

This is good for the project.

All right.

I owe you an apology.

You owe them an apology

and you owe us a mummy.

Hold it right there! Don't move.

Hey. Dad.

Easy, easy.

He helped us.

If it weren't for him, Houdini

and I wouldn't be alive.

He saved us from the cops and

brought us here.

I have been following the

four of you for a long time.

My job is to protect you

until you achieve the goal.

By orders of the Collector.

No, no. That is not true.

No, he threatened me.

Well, that was to motivate him.

It did not go very well.

You are not the only

mastermind here.

Your children went behind

your back and created a plan.

I will support them because

it looks like the perfect coup.

You wanted the three of us to join

and help you steal the mummy.

Well, that's it. You made it.

But now you'll get

your hands dirty.

It's time to get back to action.

If you really want to honor my

mom's memory

and fulfill the order

of the collector

you have to put on

that suit again.

We can't steal the mummy at night

because there will be too many guards.

So we'll do it at daytime

and with an audience.

And what better distraction than

the return of the great Melli.

Let's use that all media

are talking about you.

The legend has to shine again.

Let's don't make the same

mistake my mom did.

Let's do this together.

I'm really crying. Kids.

[Emotive music]

Real magic happens

when the family is united.

[Voice of the news] Do you remember

a couple of days ago we reported

the delicate state of health

of the great Melli?

Today we received a press release

announcing his return to illusionism

and promises to dissapear

the twin mummy.

[Mistery music]

Call the commander!

Romulo!

[g*n Shots]

Fire!

And here we have Milton Winkler,

the event's tour director.

Hi. What's up?

We are very happy with this news.

We are true fans of

the great Melli.

And I love his return will be with

the twin mummy

in a marvelous act of magic.

As long as he doesn't burn it

like in his movies, Right?

My Roque is kidnapped.

These were left to us

as a message.

Let's see, darling, what happened?

Last night we went to a

clandestine gambling house

and Roque went crazy betting

over and over again.

And the worst part is he took a loan

from the owners.

And he lost everything.

When we said you were his godmother

we thought they would ch*nk out,

But it came out worse.

They kept my Mustang.

This great show will only be in presence of

media and some personalities,

but will be broadcast live.

I don't know who you are,

but I warn you...

Madam, shut up,

that Im in charge.

If you want to see Roque

alive, you will obey.

I want to listen to Roque,

Commander, I know you are there.

Take the lady to the bank to her

largest safe deposit box.

You'll put all its contents in the

backpack I gave you

and will wait for

my instructions.

Understood?

I don't want anyone else

in the vehicle.

I said I want to listen to Roque!

And you will. As soon as

I get my money.

I am not a m*rder*r like you.

I will just collect

one of your debts.

I'll call an ambulance to take

the doctor to the hospital.

Third call.

Third.

We begin.

Call your contacts in the

police and ask for support.

They shall block roads,

airports, everything.

Don't worry, boss.

Everything will be fine.

[Mistery music]

Come on, little brother.

I hope we find him in one piece.

I'll call the Vikings g*ng

to find the doctor's car.

And when Roque is safe and sound,

I want you to move heaven, sea and earth

until you find the culprit.

I want to skin it myself.

Yes ma'am.

Did you hear that, you b*stards?

We don't want failures. Come on.

Thank you for coming.

I love you.

I love you all.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for joining us.

[Crowd sound]

I'll call the bank to

get them ready.

Let's go.

[Cars start up]

What's in there?

You can't get that in.

It is Mr. Melli's make-up

and hairstyling table.

Hey, officer, look at his raw face.

There's no way she's

going on camera like that.

He really needs a make up.

Ok, but the cart goes the other way.

And when you get out, I can

get an autograph, right?

Of course, of course.

[Cars at full speed]

I need to ask you for a favor.

Whatever you ask.

I assume the mummy is monitored

by closed-circuit cameras, right?

That's right, day and night.

Can you turn those cameras

off while I perform my show?

I don't want my act of illusionism

to be recorded.

[Cars at full speed]

[Ambulance siren]

It's just that if that video was released,

I would lose credibility.

Of course.

And people woul stop

believing in magic,

and neither you nor I

want to disappoint them.

No, not at all.

You do understand what

I'm saying, don't you?

So what are you going to do?

I'll turn off the cameras

and sit the audience in this part.

Not so close.

[Electric window open]

[Ambulance siren]

The ambulance arrived.

[Door slams]

Wait for me in the van.

Are you sure, boss?

Ok.

[Car door closes]

Hello?

Do you have it all?

Yes, all.

Go to the Devil's Bridge

on the old road to Tonal.

Leave the bag on the Virgin's altar

and keep driving until I call you back.

- Understood?

- Understood.

Commander.

Go to the Diablo Bridge,

at Tonal.

Hurry up!

[Phone rings]

Mr. Prosecutor.

If you want to catch

Agatha Villaseor,

go to the abandoned

sugar mill at San Gabriel.

Wait a second.

Who is this?

Please check out the

pictures I'll send

and take your people with you.

Ladies and gentlemen.

[Circus music]

After 10 years away from stages,

is back into this

beautifull museum

the great, the absolute

king of illusionists.

Let's welcome with a

round of applause

to the great Melli!

[applause]

[Cars at full speed]

Today I will disappear this mummy.

And so I ask, do you

want to see real magic?

Yes!

[Car stops]

[Door closes]

I want you to go back to

the magic of childhood

and repeat after me

- One

- One

- Two

- Two

Three.

Abracadabra!

Thank you.

Thank you.

[motorcycle sound]

Captain, the suspect is leaving

the Diablo Bridge on a motorcycle.

The money is in a black

backpack. Grab him!

Turn it up.

And now,

in order to return the mummy

into its place, I need you

to concentrate

and say softly:

Come back, mummy,

come back.

Come back, mummy,

come back.

Come back, mummy,

come back.

Come back, mummy,

come back.

One, two, three.

Abracadabra.

[Applause]

[Crowd celebrate]

[Motorcycle sound ]

[starts motorcycle]

[Car at full speed]

We delivered the money.

Go to the abandoned

San Gabriel sugar mill.

Your godson is there.

Hello? Hello?

[Motorcycle sound]

[Motorcycle sound]

[boxes are thrown away]

[collapsed tables ]

[Action music]

[Car sound]

[Telephone sound]

I'm where you told me.

Walk to the wall of noise

in front of you.

Roque is there.

Wait for me here, Commander.

[Door close]

[Action Music]

[motorcycle sound]

No, no, no!

Don't throw it!

[Motorcycle sound]

What are you doing here?

Commander, come quickly!

What up ma'am?

Ask this b*tch where

my godson is.

Your godson?

Your godchild is being tortured

at the annex you sent him to.

Who are you?

Where is the commander?

I saw him get into my truck.

But not when he got off.

[Car claxon]

Commander, I can't talk.

We located the doctor's

car with the suspects.

Leave me the keys in the

truck and go get them!

What are you waiting for?

[car on the move]

Shall I read your future?

Or can you imagine it?

Years ago, a woman like you

wanted to get smart with me.

I was happy to k*ll her

when she broke into

my house to steal.

Yes, but that woman didn't

want your money.

She wanted justice.

Have you heard about

the twin mummies?

Legend says Yadhira k*lled

her sister Violeta

when Lauro left for the U.S.

And then committed suicide.

But that is not true.

What really happened

is that Violeta got pregnant of Lauro

just before he left.

He never found out because in

childbirth things got complicated.

Before dying in childbirth, Violeta

asked Yadira to take care of the baby.

But she abandoned him

in a passing circus.

Yes, that circus was

the Belmond Circus.

For many years, Yadhira pretended

to be Violeta, writing to Lauro.

He, in turn, sent money

to build the hacienda.

It wasn't until his return that

he realized it was all a hoax.

Lauro discovered that

his beloved was a mummy

and that his son

was lost to the world.

Yadira, in desperation, confessed

she was in love with him.

Feeling rejected, she

k*lled Lauro out of spite

taking away the possibility of

finding his son to form a family.

Yadhira kept Lauro's

jewelry and wedding rings.

He paid a reporter to spread the

false legend of the twin mummies.

She came to the hacienda

Lauro bought.

There she build a crypt to keep the corpse

of his impossible love.

Her name now is

gatha Villaseor.

And she'd been waiting her own death

to rest next to Lauro's tomb.

She wanted to spend

eternity with him.

But that's not going to happen.

Because we'll grant that wish

to those who deserve it.

70 years had to pass for my parents

to get back together.

Children, leave me alone with her.

[Suspense music]

Hello?

This is Captain Fujita speaking.

We have the ransom money

from your boss.

We'll wait for you at El Ocotillo.

f*cking great, Captain.

We are on our way.

Hit to the Ocotillo Lake.

Let's pick the money first.

Sapo, ask the Vikings to

get doctor's car.

Yes, sir.

Everyone beware.

It may be a trap.

We are almost there.

Aunt.

You did a lot of harm

to my family.

You k*lled my parents

my wife.

But today

the time has come

for you to pay.

[Clap]

Nobody fires a single b*llet

until I give the order.

There it is.

My father was

a country person

just like all those

you have abused.

You also stole their land,

their dreams.

But today is your

judgment day.

Are you okay, sis?

It's showtime.

[Medea voice-over] Remember I told you

that you must have a spectacular act to escape

without anyone imagining it?

[suspense music]

Lieutenant.

Ms. Agatha, you are under arrest.

[suspense music]

What's up?

Axe.

Is it complete?

Let's see, check your bags,

m*therf*cker.

We are honest.

I know you, Captain.

[motorcycle sound]

[Wizard voice-over]

These are the "Melli dollars"

You can get them at "The macabre house Abracadabra".

Ahhhh!

[Rock music]

Let's go!

Where is Roque?

Where is Roque?

Where is Roque?

Where is him?

Who is Roque?

[Suspense music]

[Wizard voice-over] Today, thanks to my wife,

thanks to you, dear children,

for the first time the whole

family is together.

Thank you very much.

I was always tormented by the idea

of not knowing who my parents were

and also of not knowing

why they had abandoned me.

[Medea voice-over] This is the temple

where my grandfather wanted to marry his beloved.

I think it is the perfect place

for them to rest in peace.

And well, also tell you that

this fortune Yadhira

accumulated,

all this

[emotional music]

was because she stole it

from your grandfather.

And so I want to split it.

One part will be for the family,

for us.

And this for the Belmond family.

Thank you. Thank you.

Another part will go to

the people gatha swindled.

A new tent.

Because that's what my sweetheart

would have wanted.

Thank you very much for

fulfilling the will of my parents

to be eternally together

in one grave.

That's what they deserved.

Thank you very much.

The collector thought it was

a better idea

that the original mummy stayed

here so that no one could find it.

If anyone plans to take

it from the museum,

will have a surprise

made of rubber.

Please.

Please tell the collector that I will

always be forever indebted to him.

No, man, there are no

debts between families.

Besides, I couldn't say no after all the

circus your daughter went through to gather

your grandparents and that you knew

your true origin, right, my love?

Dad, we need to talk.

Yes, we need to talk.

In other words, you

I was fooled.

Sons.

Do they realize it?

We were deceived.

The two of them are accomplices.

Pleased to meet you.

My name is Fabian.

I am your daughter's boyfriend.

So, you are my father-in-law.

Siblings-in-law.

Sister-in-law. Well.

However you say.

Wait, there's one thing

I don't understand.

The collector threatened me and...

Who is he?

My dad.

And he is a great admirer of yours.

He sends his best regards.

Medea.

You lied to all of us.

Brother.

We had to heal our lineage.

My mom told me.

You do whatever it takes to save

your children from any danger

that could jeopardize their future.

I don't want the new generations

to carry with this family karma.

But why the urgency?

She is pregnant.

Did you do all this because

you are pregnant?

Surprise.

No, no father-in-law

Grandfather, then.

No!

Come into my arms

So I

I'm going to be a grandfather.

The old man is going to have

grandchildren

and my little carrot doesn't

want to get pregnant.

Don't you realize that for circus people,

family is the most important thing?

[upbeat music]

Let's see if this will cheer them up.

Thank you, brother.

And I wanted to improve the species.

What is he telling her?

He is proposing.

It looks like they are splitting up.

I think that's the end...

[ovation]

I love to see my family like this.

Now that I realize

Aren't those the rings your

grandfather was getting married with?

I don't know what you're

talking about, Dad.

Don't you know?

Tell me the truth.

Houdini? You found those jewels

in the safe, didn't you?

I don't know what

you are talking about.

Houdini.

Don't do your escapist act.

Houdini Come here. Come here!

[Medea voice-over]

Every great magic trick,

every spectacular scam

and every unusual love story

always hide in the background

a mystery and a deception.

And if it is to save the family,

one is capable of anything.

A few weeks later

Commander.

Be prepared.

After the leak,

the hunt begins.
