[cackles]

Dad? Don't!

PREVIOUSLY

The last honest Dalaras was poor Abelardo.

-My grandfather?
-The park he founded was harmless.

Grandpa...

HAPPY LAND

The mime is my grandpa!

DANIEL:
The Lodge was created...

to protect us from El Espanto.

ARAPI:
My people were attacked by Ucutau.

After the disappearance of many Niktu,

our shamans created a weapon.

By the time the weapon was completed,

there were no more Niktu warriors left.

It was a group of youngsters
about your age

who wanted to see their families again

the ones who destroyed Ucutau.

It is said that this is a piece
of the weapon that defeated El Espanto.

Were you looking for this?

TIERRA INCOGNITA

AURORA:
I know I tend to be too optimistic, but...

without optimism, what do I have left?

I can't lose my two daughters.

When Ucutau threatened my people,

everything seemed lost.

But there were some who never gave up.

And they managed to create the weapon.

I always thought El Espanto...

was a legend.

[speaks in Niktu]
Moyuca.

Excuse me?

I don't know what that means.

Optimism.

But also, freedom.

They're the same word in Niktu.

"Moyuca..."

[bangs on door]

Eric:
How long are you going to keep us here?

-[bangs on door]
-Daniel!

I can't believe it!

I don't get it.

I don't get it, he has the weapon,

and he surely has El Espanto,

what is he trying to achieve?

I don't think he cares
about the trapped people.

How did he find out about the weapon?

My grandpa and Arapi told me
Daniel wasn't part of the Lodge anymore.

Someone heard we were coming
and gave us away.

It must have been Axel.
How did he find out?

Because of someone who's always quiet
but hears everything.

Eric...

No. No, we didn't plan for this
at the Creepy Pasta.

There's no way he could have known.

Then, who told him?

[keys jingle]

[lock clicks]

Come.

Why did you call us here?

Have some patience,
you'll come to understand everything.

[footsteps approaching]

[objects clatter]

Dolores, what's going on?

[clinks]

What do you have there?

There are many guests at this party.

Eric! Boys! What are you doing here?

Stay right there!

Stay calm, Grandpa, everything's fine.

What do you mean "everything's fine"?

I specifically told you to wait.

Let the boys go.

Don't underestimate
these ill-mannered boys.

Daniel, you are no longer a member
of this organization.

Is it because of this?

Please...

have some patience.

Calixto, come.

Come closer.

[chuckles]

I want to introduce you to someone.

Teresa?

What have you done to her?

Did you think it was a good idea
to send your niece to spy on me?

You...? You told him?

You betrayed us!

No, you betrayed me!

[growls loudly]

[snarls]

[grunts]

[snarls]

We could pause this curse.

[heavy breathing]

Or we could stop it forever.

But we could also... unleash it.

What do you want, Daniel?

DANIEL: You doubted me!

You trashed my reputation!

But now that it's clear
what the issue really is,

and who has the solution for it,

I believe I deserve to be the one
who makes the decisions, right?

CALIXTO: Daniel, you know nothing
about that staff.

If you want to destroy El Espanto, Arapi--

Destroy El Espanto?

No, no, no...

No, I don't want that.

I have a question.

I forgot the lyrics
of El Espanto song.

Could you sing it?

Do you think this is funny?

[El Espanto snarls]

[chuckles]

I'm asking you...

if you think this is funny.

Huh?

-[chuckles]
-[yells]

No!

Let go!

-Eric!
-Let go!

Get out of here!
Get out of here!

No! No!

[grunts]

Axel! Axel!

[grunts]

[snarls]

[growls]

No!

[screams]

Give it here.

Get behind me!

No! No!

No, Grandpa, get behind me!

-[snarls]
-El Espanto won't hurt me!

-Eric?
-Here! Look at me!

Go!

Dalaras!

You're the next El Espanto!

-Go!
-But, Eric!

Pablo!

Okay, let's go!

-Let's go!
-No!

-Yes! Let's go, let's go!
-Let's go!

We have to freeze El Espanto
before it escapes.

And miss all this? No way.

Eric, it won't hurt him.

Trust me, Grandpa, go!

I trust you, but I'm not going anywhere.

Are you actually going
to believe a Dalaras?

Don't be a moron!
I saw it.

Hand me the fire extinguisher.

Go.

Here.

Take this.

[snarls]

Hey!

[growls]

[clank]

Who's the moron now?

What are you doing, Axel?

-Help him!
-No, you won't achieve anything!

Listen to your grandson.

[snarls]

Son...

Let's go, Grandpa! Go!

[growls]

[screams]

[stone grinds]

-[grunts in pain]
-What's wrong?

-Let's get out of here.
-Grandpa,

something's going to happen to me.

-I'll be fine, stay calm.
-Okay...

-[grunts in pain]
-Eric!

What's wrong? Eric!

Eric!

Eric, please!

Eric!

[park music plays]

Dad!

Dad!

Eric!

Dad!

I remember! I remember!

I remember these drawings!

I don't know if I did the right thing
taking them out.

Do you remember who drew these?

I think I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have built...

Tierra Incognita!

[laughs]

I know I turned this park
into a huge laboratory!

Dad, try to remember!

Who drew these?

Who owned the park?

[metallic clinks]

Take it.

I didn't mean to let anyone down.

Who didn't you want to let down?

Take it.

Who did you want to apologize to?

No, Dad, don't do it.

Dad, please! Don't!

[cackles]

[breathes heavily]

I'm sorry, Dad.

[wind whooshes]

Dad, stay calm.

It's okay.

-Eric?
-It's okay.

LIANG: Eric!

Eric! Eric!

-Eric!
-Help me, please.

-Eric...
-Eric, wake up, please.

-Eric.
-UMA: Eric...

[click]

-SANTIAGO: Let's get in the car.
-Go.

In the car, let's go.

Axel.

Let's go!

I never understood this place.

The people who taught me your language
never told me of anything like this.

I don't think carousels existed
in your time.

It's all a game for children.

A game?

Yeah.

You get in, pick a place to sit,
and... it starts spinning.

Tarokurat.

What?

Tarokurat.

Without beginning or end.

Just like this carousel.

Like the ouroboros.

-"Bilofation"? What are you talking about?
-Bilocation.

His body is here, but Eric isn't.
He takes longer to return each time.

Do you have an explanation?
If he's not here, where is he?

In El Espanto.

In El Espanto, of course,
why didn't I think of that?

Good question.

It must be because of the stress,
perhaps, you...

Pablo!

Are you going to keep taking me for a fool

or are you going to tell me
what's going on?

Show him the scar.

What scar?

Your magic...

is interesting.

My magic?

I saw how you freed that man.

He's my dad.

You did it using only words.

What I don't understand, is your...

Your "colombati."

My what?

Colombati.

The thing you're trying to find.

I don't understand.

What... you're looking for.

-My goal?
-VOLTÁN: That's it.

I don't understand what your goal is.

Why free those people
if they're still here?

They can't escape Ucutau.

But there's a way to free them.

-There's a weapon out there.
-Out there?

In the outside world?

Yeah!

A weapon your people created


I know of that weapon.

But you can't use it.

If you do,

you'll stay trapped here forever.

Like it happened to me.

How much longer do we have to wait?

We have to take him to the hospital.

Aurora...

I have to show you something.

I want to show you because I promised
I wouldn't lie to you anymore.

But I need you to stay calm.

[Aurora gasps]

What's that?

Something that can't be cured
at a hospital.

Uma, your friends didn't want to tell me,

so I'm asking you...

How did you get to Terlamit?

I freed all the Niktu,

but I couldn't leave Ucutau.

For my people, I would do it again.

But it's only fair you know
what's going to happen to you.

If everyone who's trapped can be saved,
I'm willing to do it.

VOLTÁN: You're very courageous,

but you can't begin to imagine
what is like

to be trapped here for so long.

How do I use the weapon?

[gasps] No!

-ALL: Eric!
-AURORA: How are you feeling?

Are you okay? Do you want me
to make you some tea?

No, thank you, Grandma.

-But--
-I would like to rest.

ARAPI: We should all relax,

and let Eric rest.

[door opens]

-But--
-Give me a hand.

-What's going on?
-Give me a hand!

-What's going on?
-Get in there!

[hinges creak]

Does the Creepy Pasta have a big freezer?

Pablo, where are you?

Call me, please.

[knocks on door]

I'm resting here!

Excuse me.

-May I?
-Sure.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling better.

Does it hurt?

What does?

We all saw it.

Did my grandma see it too?

ARAPI: Santiago didn't have a choice.

Everyone is worried about you.

But not as much as I am.

History is repeating itself.

According to my people's legends,

a Niktu with a mark like yours existed.

Voltán?

ARAPI: How do you know that?

When El Espanto eats, I'm transported.

And I see the missing people.

The mark connects you to Ucutau.

Yeah.

I ran into Voltán in there.

He told me how hundreds of years ago
he freed El Espanto's victims,

but that he couldn't get out.

He didn't get to tell me
how to use the weapon.

It's all the same,
he would've lied to you.

You have to be careful.

Voltán tormented the Niktu.

And as his silver mark grew,

he grew more and more evil.

Voltán wanted to get a hold of the staff,

but two of the town's youngsters...

got it before he did, and drove the staff
into Ucutau's heart.

El Espanto's heart?

The legend says...

that it only reveals himself when it eats.

[snarls]

ARAPI: The dark age ended,

and Voltán turned into Utaluclatu.

When Voltán's consciousness was trapped
inside Ucutau,

his body turned to stone.

"Taluclatu" means...
young man made of stone.

Come on!

What is he doing?

Why did we leave Eric behind?

He should be here.

[phone beeps]

I have to go.

What's wrong?

I have to get the staff,

and I think I know where it is.

Where are you going?

To find Pablo.

I'm going to the Creepy Pasta
to look for El Espanto.

Want to join in?

Axel, what are we going to do?
We can't leave him there.

-[door opens]
-We weren't expecting you.

Welcome.

What did you do with El Espanto?

I saved Cabo Qwert.

You should be thankful.

Answer! What did you do?

El Espanto is my dad now,
so it's my problem.

Don't you realize he's a psychopath?

[giggles] Hey, everyone's here!

Where are they?

Who?

Don't play the fool, I'm talking about
El Espanto and the weapon.

What weapon?

This weapon?

-You want it?
-Axel...

-Take it.
-Axel, we have to finish this,

or there won't be anyone left in town.

I already got what I wanted.

What? You wanted to get rid of your dad?

We're all better without my dad.

Axel, please.

Don't you care about your friends?

You will never see them again.

You want to know what I think?

ALL: No!

[pieces clink and clatter]

[chuckles] That's what I think.

[distorted hiss]

What do you want?

Nothing.

But they want to tell you something.

[snarls]

[screams]

No! No! Stop it!

-UMA: What's going on?
-[Axel whimpers]

-Eric, what are you doing to him?
-Eric?

-[snarls]
-Stop it!

[screams and whimpers]

No!

Stop it!

[Axel whimpers]

-[grunts]
-Stop it!

We can't lose everyone because of him!
He deserved it!

What did you do to him?

Uma, I would never do
anything like that to you.

I just can't believe we lost the weapon.

-There must be another way.
-We don't have any more options.

Maybe we could recover El Espanto, right?

Yeah, Axel is capable of anything.

What would we do with El Espanto
without the weapon?

I have this.

How didn't I realize it before?

Is that what Arapi gave you?

Come with me.

What are we looking for, exactly?

This.

They're very similar.

They're the same!

I don't want to be a pessimist,

but we can't do anything
with those two little pieces.

And I don't think
there are any more in there.

[winces]

I found something.

It says here the material was subjected
to sodium hydroxide,

-and that's when it turned dark.
-Sodium hydroxide?

Caustic soda.

It's not hard to come by.

It's used as a drain pipe cleaner.

That's great,
but we still don't have enough.

What are you doing?

There's something at the end
that might be useful.

Here.

Roberto describes
where he found the material.

There may be more!

Where?

At the caverns.

AXEL: How did he do it?

-Did you see it?
-No.

I didn't see anything.

He can't humiliate me like that.

-Who does he think he is?
-Listen, Axel,

this is serious, we have to get your dad
out of there.

He hasn't been my dad for a while now.

He's a weapon.

And do you know how I'm going to use it?

I don't think I want to know.

♪ It's not much ♪

♪ But it's a lot ♪

♪ El Espanto is everyone ♪

It's here.

When did you find this entrance?

When I locked you up.

Don't remind me of that.

[sighs]

[water drips]

It must be this way.

Why didn't you show us this before?

It wasn't important then.

Let's look for the stones!

[stone clatters]

Eric!

What's wrong?

Utaluclatu .

What's that?

What might happen to me.
