01x03 - Al centro de la Tierra

[bunniefuu]

- Julia, look.
- My mom?

"Mission Verne is completed,
but the magnetic imbalance is ongoing."

Our kids and their friends are with her
right now.

In the Verne Dimension?

No, no. They have to get out of there.
It's really dangerous for the kids.

But-- But there's not enough time.

My mom needs to get to the core
to seal the fissure.

She can't do that by herself.

Who's going with her?

Hans can't come with me
because the intraterrestrial sun

is like oxygen for him,
he'll die without it.

- I won't let you down.
- Mmm. I know.

You know?

This is likely the most difficult mission
we've ever faced.

Wow!

- No way. It's a GP Geyser.

Something like that.

Anyway,
we have to be fast getting in and out.

In and out of where?

The geyser's the only thing

that can get us out of
the center of the earth.

- Where are we?

I don't understand
all this interest in tungsten.

- Isn't gold more valuable?

Gold is found everywhere,
tungsten's only here.

If I can bring back proof of
the existence of this place,

of its endless supply of tungsten,
I'll be rich.

- We'll be rich. Huh?

- Something's off here.
- Ah, again with your paranoia?

No, no, I swear. Something's really off.
Just look, there.

- Shh. Something's off...
- Just look!

Uh-oh. Wait, wait, wait. Pompi!

Oh, oh, oh! Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, you're so brave!
The intrepid explorer!

Oh, oh, ma petite chose.

Oh, is this the dangerous creature

you claim has been stalking us
this whole time?

- A teeny-tiny caterpillar?
- Huh?

- I thought he was more dangerous, Pompi.
- Oh, I thought he was more dangerous--

- Huh?

Claudio! Claudio! Let go of my friend.

Pompi! [screams] Pompi! Pompi!

- Let him go, dirty beast!

- Help, Pompi, help!
- No! Claudio!

Claudio,
use your ultimate chemical weapon!

Yes!

- Oui, oui!

Claudio!

Claudio!

- Ugh, gross. Spit. Spit it out.

- Claudio? Claudio?

- Claudio? Claudio, wake up.

Almost lost you there.

Oh, it was horrible.

You saved my life.

It's like we're Pinocchio and Geppetto.

- Huh.

This is Pompilio's tent.
Let's go.

Pompilio decided to take
those pathetic losers

on the trip instead of us.

My father was right when he said
that my uncle Pompilio's a failure.

He's a traitor,
he shouldn't even call himself a Calderón.

Should we get out of here?

Wait a bit.

First, we need to take revenge.

Welcome, parents and guardians.
How are you?

Well, I wanted to inform you
of something very important.

Yesterday,
a bunch of campers went missing.

Pompilio is nowhere to be found.
And many other things are happening.

So, you should come pick up your kids
from the camp as soon as possible.

- Yeah.
-Oh, yeah. And-- And there are fleas.

Hey, come on.

- Careful, Pompilio.

- Oh.
- The entrance should be close.

But I can't go on.

- No, no.
- This bag is really heavy.

Oh, well, then you could just
take the backpack and leave me here.

I'm really tired, Pompilio.

- I can't leave you here.

Who would take the photographs
to document this mission, huh?

I am a high-tech android and you wanna
use me to take a selfie?

- Ah!
- You can get off now.

Take a picture of me here.

- This place looks nice. It should be fine.
- Oui.

- Come take a picture of me.
- Mm-hmm.

- All right.
- Take it here.

Like the ones of the great Nadar.

- Okay, sure. Here.

Drop your chin, Pompilio.

- Like this?
- Mm-hmm. Just like that.

Ooh, that looks nice!

- Move-- Move to the right.
- Your right or my right?

It doesn't matter.

Stop playing, you silly little bird.

Oh, fine. Fine.

- There you go. Puff out your chest.

Ooh, fetching.

- Yeah. Oh, you look good, Pompi.
- Yes!

Very handsome, you know?

Open your eyes wider.
Ç'est parfait. What a great smile.

They can't come with us and that's final.

It's too much responsibility.

That makes sense to me. Hope it goes well.

Viole, we'll be back soon, okay?

Thank you for looking after them.

It is my pleasure.

Ah,
there's a device in the geyser's crater

that will help you get out of the volcano.

Hmm.

Good luck.

You kids come with me.

-I want to show you something.

- What are you doing?
- Shh!

Just play along.
We're not gonna be stuck indoors, are we?

Hans.

Hans, I'm dying of thirst.

I'm really thirsty and hot.

Yeah.

Well, there is some water you can drink.

We want more. It's not enough.

Yes, yes. Uh, oh, I'm so dehydrated.

Okay.

I'll go down to the bottom of the spring
and get you some water.

-But do not move.
- No, Hans. Of course not.

- We'll be here, lying down...
- Yeah.

...so we don't get wiped out.

I'll be right back.

- Let's go. Oxygen masks should be around.

We'll follow Pola and Diego.

Into a volcano? You're joking.

Pedro, I thought we're all a team, no?

Don't wanna miss this adventure, right?
Hmm?

No, it's true. Really.

You don't have to take them, ma'am.
It's all a misunderstanding.

Pompilio will be back soon.
Everything will be fine. All right?

Sir, don't take-- Don't take Emily.

It was all a misunderstanding.
It's gonna be completely fine.

No, wait.

Andrea.

- Andrea. Calm down. Relax.
- Hey, please, don't leave.

- What's going on?
- Don't ask me to relax!

It was you, wasn't it?

You were asking all those questions.
Did you scare them?

And then this happened.

I had nothing to do with this.
Neither with the pranks nor the memes.

We still have a group of children missing
and that includes my siblings.

But...

Andrea, we found out that Antonio
uploaded a video to the parents' group.

That's why they're here.
Martín did nothing.

- You should apologize.

I'm just desperate.
Those kids were my responsibility and--

- Andrea!
- Yeah, uh--

A mom called to tell me
that Pompilio is missing.

I'm here for Laura.

Didn't you say you were dying
to ride this motorcycle?

Besides, in our world,
kids aren't allowed to drive.

I'm not so sure.

Pola left the motorcycle for a reason.

Pedro,
can you please pull yourself together?

Yeah, Pedro. Come on.

Pedro!

I don't know what I'm doing!

Hold on tight!

Please. Go higher.

Wow.

- Wow. This is incredible.
- Wow.

But why didn't we bring the motorcycle?

It would've been so much faster
and more fun.

We didn't use the motorcycle because
the magnetic field here is very unstable.

Flying here would be very dangerous.

Come on!

I'm stuck!

- Come on.
- Grandma!

Violeta. Get out, now.

Here, come.

- Oh, man. I don't feel so good.
- What have you done?

We wanted to go for a ride.

- Did you follow us?

No, of course not.

It was a coincidence.

Yes, we followed you.

- Please, don't leave us.
- Yeah, we're ready to explore.

- But we all really wanna come.

Mm-hmm, yeah.

Hi, Mom. How's it going?

Hey, listen.
There's something that is very important

-that I need to tell you.
- Don't worry.

Your brother, Violeta
and their friends are safe.

They're with Pola.

I thought you were gonna
disown me for sure.

Son, your mom and I
have something to tell you.

It has to do with you, with our family
and with our origins.

Was I adopted?

Do we have to climb that?

- Wow, it's really high.

All right, kiddos. I let you accompany me

only because I couldn't leave you alone
in the middle of nowhere,

but, please, no more whining.

We don't have to climb
all the way to the top.

Hans said that...

through this cave we can directly be
connected to the volcanic crater's bottom.

Hmm.

Put your masks on, kiddos.
The gases are toxic.

So, I'm a descendant of Jules Verne, yeah?

- I know it's a lot to take in.
-Oh, and my grandmother

and siblings are on a mission
in a parallel dimension

where they have to repair
the core of a volcano.

So the Earth's magnetic field
does not get destroyed

and all life is devastated.

You know what?

I would have preferred to find out
I was adopted.

Martin, I know this is a lot to take in
and digest,

but it's imperative
that you get to the North Pole, all right?

Oh, of course.

I have to go to the North Pole
to save the planet. Sure!

Calderón Foundation, the salvation--

No, no. No.

This is it.

Calderón Foundation,
from ice comes salvation.

Rodolfo, here.
Your son wants to talk to you.

What's going on?

Father, Pompilio has vanished.

He just abandoned the camp,
the place is in total chaos.

Nothing my brother does
surprises me anymore.

He watched too many movies
about adventure, treasures, Verne

and all that stuff about dimensions.

I also don't understand
why he thinks he's French now.

He should just change his last name.

I promised my father
that would never happen again.

We had to change our last name
from Nadar to Calderón once before.

Have you forgotten, dear?

- I have to go.
- What?

My interview is about to begin.

Calderón Foundation. Calderón Foundation.

Well then bring yourself
and your brother here.

And Andrea?

Bring her along too.

I don't want the media linking her
to your crazy uncle.

All right, Mom.
I'll take care of it right away.

Though I can't imagine any journalists
would miss the opportunity

to cover such major headline about us.

I know, right?

- I'll see you in a bit.
-Okay.

Bye.

- We're at the base of the volcano.
- And how do you know that, Pompilio?

-Un, deux, trois. The three chimneys.
- Hmm.

- Yes, but which one do we go down?
-Je ne sais pas.

I seem to remember that one of them
leads to the center of the earth,

and my ancestor's journal should
have knowledge on the other two.

One leads to the geyser and the other one...

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Darn it, a page is missing.
You see this, you idiotic bird?

This is what you get
for not recovering the complete journal.

You're such an ungrateful person, Pompilio.

I risked my life to get you this journal,
and this is how you treat me?

- Shh. Silence!

Luckily, I have an infallible method.

- One that has never failed me.
- Oh, yeah?

-Attention.
- Okay.

Am, stram, gram,
pique etpique et colégram,

loubaca baca ratatam, incidam, pique!

- It's that way.
- Oh, that's your infallible method, Pompi?

What-- What? Did you learn that
at the University of Paris?

Bah.

-Sacrebleu!
- Be careful, Pompi.

Did you try calling Pompilio again?

We'll find him, for sure.
Please, just trust us.

Do you want some tea?
You know what? I'll go get some anyway.

Don't worry too much.
Pompilio often brings kids on a--

What do you mean by that?

- Hey, gorgeous.
- He's super professional.

I have great news for you. Thanks.

Did you find Pompilio
and the kids?

- What? No. Forget about that.
- Shut up.

Andrea, you're off the hook for the kids.

Besides, I have a better plan for us:

the foundation is having an event
at the North Pole, and you should come.

The North Pole for an event?

Mm-hmm. We'd go in my private plane.

Felipe, how could you think
of asking me that?

You've seen how upset Evelyn is.

The kids are nowhere to be found,
they're my responsibility.

- Andrea, chill out.
- Don't tell me to chill out.

How dare--

Pedro. You have to jump, sweetie.

I can't. I really can't. I'm very scared.

If you don't, we'll be stuck here.

Come on, Pedro. It's not that high.

Yeah, let go.
You'll be just fine once you do.

Go on!

All right. But if something happens to me,
it'll be completely on you guys.

One...

Chin up. You can do it.

Two...

Pedro, do it already!

Three!

I'm alive! I'm alive!

- Claudio. Allez allez!

Is there any tungsten here, Pompilio?

I think so. We're getting close.

Okay.

-Oh la la!
- Ooh la what?

They're sparkling like emeralds.

Wow.

- Hmm?

Um, those aren't precious stones, Pompilio.

- Those are spider eggs.
- They're not spider eggs.

And even if they are,
it makes no difference to me.

- I'm not afraid.
- Uh-huh.

But if I were you, I'd definitely
be a little afraid of their mommy.

What are we gonna do?

One of the three chimneys here

goes straight to the bottom
of the volcano's crater.

This is astonishing.

It's just like Verne's
Journey to the Center of the Earth.

It's just like
the illustrations in the book.

Also, The Verne Dimension level one.
Now, on to the next level.

A geyser, a volcano,
a crater, the three chimneys.

I can't believe it.
It's just like the novel.

All right, guys, come on.
We have to keep moving.

No, no, no, wait. Take a look at this.

It's runic symbols. Just like in the book.

Oh, really? What does it say?

Jules Verne was here! I knew it.

What's that?

- Ooh, a light.

It's getting closer.

Quickly, hide behind the chimney.

You too, Diego.

No. I'm staying with you.

Help us! Run for your lives!

Ce n'est pas possible!
A meter-long spider.

- Pompilio?

Thank goodness you're here.
We're going to be safe now.

Not now, ma petite mademoiselle.
This is not a good time, huh?

Oh, no! Not this again. Save me!

Help me!

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER
OF THE EARTH

Ah, I hope I didn't take too long.

Here are your--

Children?

Children?

Where are you guys?
