01x04 - The Haunted Ship

[bunniefuu]

GIRL:
I read that Roberto Dalaras went crazy,

k*lled his wife and then disappeared.

AXEL: Your dad was the worst thing
that happened to this town...

And he k*lled your mom.

-(yelling)
-(grunting)

-SOFÍA: The curse of the Dalaras!
-What?

This is how things end badly!

ERIC: This lamp seems important, look at
the level of detail on the plans.

(tense music)

DANIEL: I don't know if I should take care
of your grandkids or take care of myself.

It's from my dad!

AGUSTÍN: Guillermo?

Guille?

CARMEN: We see clearly several Niktus
running away from something,

but from what?

(screams)

(expl*si*n)

ERIC:
It's happening again.

(dramatic music throughout)

Eric!

(waves crashing)

It's our last night in Cape Qwert.
Let’s make the best of it.

LEO: It’s quiet and dark.
Why do you enjoy this?

Are you afraid?

No... I find it a bit boring.
It’s hot and we’re also late.

I didn't realize I brought my grandfather.

-Watch it! You're so clumsy!
-LEO: Oh.

-GIRL: Slowly!
-LEO: Sorry!

(scraping)

What was that?

(dramatic music throughout)

-A monster.
-What?!

Relax. I'm sure it was nothing.

(chuckle)

(snarl)

LEO:
Someone's there!

-GIRL: Go check it out.
-LEO: Eh? No!

Check it out.

No.

Go.

(dramatic music throughout)

(water dripping in the distance)

(screams)

GIRL:
C'mon, Leo. Stop scaring me.

Leo?

(water dripping)

Leo, if you don't come back, I'm leaving.

(low growl)

(dramatic music)

(heavy breathing)

-(low growl)
-(footsteps)

(low growl)

(screaming)

(buzzing)

(dramatic music)

(creepy wind-up toy music)

AXEL: Listen, you left us alone.
But I'm not angry, okay?

I need you to come here!

I don't know how much longer
I can keep avoiding my dad!

Why do you have to avoid me?

(dramatic music throughout)

DANIEL:
Well...?

Stop playing dumb.

What were you doing with
Javier in the park?

We were looking for Guillermo.

Don’t lie to me. You don't realize who
you’re messing with. What do you know?

No, no, I don't know anything.

You better not hide
information from me.

People in town are very angry. So
you'd better tell me what you know.

Guillermo went to the park yesterday...

He called us from there,
so we went to look for him.

What where you thinking?

We wanted to help look,
but didn’t want anyone to worry.

I wasted a lot of time because of you.

The lights went on again.

-Really? When?
-Just a few minutes ago. Twice.

-I had nothing to do with it.
-I saw you leaving the park.

This is all Eric Dalaras' fault, you know?

Why?

You saw him in the park. I saw
him too. He was acting really weird.

I'll take care of it.

I don't know... I wonder
if I'm imagining things.

But honestly, it doesn't look like it has
anything like a sensor for Bluetooth,

or remote control.

It seems to have everything an ordinary
lamp has. Except for... this thing.

(squeaking)

It looks like some type of rock.

Maybe it’s a gadget
that stores solar energy.

And why would it use solar energy?

Maybe to protect the environment?

PABLO: I don't know... I think
there's a deeper reason.

-ERIC: Deeper?
-More. Dalaras.

That light lit up by itself. There's got
to be a mystical connection of some kind.

-Did you eat something that went bad?
-No, why?

You sounded so delirious, I thought
you had food poisoning.

I'm serious, Eric. Science
can't always explain everything.

That's true, but scientific thinking does
allow us to arrive at solid arguments.

And what happens when new
discoveries contradict old ones?

Scientists go on studying them.

But to say there’s something mystical
about new discoveries is a stretch.

Haven't you ever heard
of quantum entanglement?

There are certain subatomic particles
that interact with one another

despite being in different galaxies.

Whatever happens to one,
happens to the other.

It's obvious! A force from another
world must have intervened.

Better to check the forces connected
to the lamp in this world first.

See you tomorrow in the park, Pablo.

Wait! Maybe it was the
mind that activated the lamp.

I read in an article once that the mind...

Send me the article. See you
tomorrow. Get some rest. (sighs)

(dramatic music throughout)

Uma!

(cellphone ringing)

-Hi, Mom!
-Hello, Carmen! How are you?

Good. Look what I just found.

AURORA:
Oh, that's Julia’s!

Now it's Uma's. She put it together.

AURORA:
I'm not surprised.

If only Julia knew her broken painting
would end up like that.

How are my grandchildren?

Good, good. I was just looking for
Uma. Do you want to talk to her?

Of course! Wait, wait, I’ll
go find your father.

He acts all tough, you know,
but I know he misses them.

Santiago? Santiago! It's
your daughter. Say hello.

-Hi, Carmen... How's everything?
-All good, Dad. Let me go get Uma, yeah?

Mhm.

-Where are you going?
-What?

Don't you want to speak to her?

It's not that I don't want to but I have
things to do. But yes, I want to say hi.

-Good! Say hello then.
-I want to talk, I want to talk, yes.

CARMEN: Here she is! Oh, you’re
solving the puzzle!

It took me months to collect those
pieces. They're a painting from the caves,

and they're over 400 years old.
Isn't it fascinating? Say hi to Grandma!

-Hi, Uma! How are you?
-Hi, Grandma.

Mom? Are you okay?

We were leaving the mansion and the lights
came on again. And right at that moment...

What? What happened?

It turned on by itself, out of the blue,
no connection to anything. It’s crazy.

(gasps)

Uma, are you okay?

CARMEN: Well, I'm ready for our adventure.

Are you coming? Uma and I are going to
the caves.

Not today... thanks.

Okay. Come on, they must be
waiting for me. See you.

-Have a good time... See you later.
-CARMEN: See you!

SABRINA: I was running away from
something...

And as I was coming down the stairs, I
bumped into him. He was staring at me.

And then you woke up?

Yes, I swear it felt real, Lila.
It was Guillermo.

Ugh. Speaking of scary things...

CAPE QWERT

LILA:
Eric!

-ERIC: Hello.
-LILA: Hi.

-ERIC: How are you?
-LILA: Good.

SABRINA:
What did you do to Guillermo?

-ERIC: Guillermo?
-LILA: Sabrina...

SABRINA: They told me your life
was spared yesterday.

If Axel catches you, you'll be hanging
on Quique Wert’s statue in the square.

LILA:
Enough! Eric, stop, let's talk.

Did you see the lights on in the park?

Yeah, so weird! The whole town
is talking about the lights.

It was you, right?

(dramatic music)

The curse. The curse. The curse.

The Dalaras. It was the Dalaras.

-I know everything. It was Dalaras.
-LILA: No, Sofia. Calm down.

(heavy breathing)

It's me, Lila.

(heavy breathing)

Calm down, calm down.

(tense music throughout)

Aurora. Can we talk? Please understand.
I didn't want to get your hopes up.

My hopes up?! You know how
important Uma is to me.

You think she isn't important to me too?

She only said two words. No one can
guarantee she’ll ever speak again.

Two words are more than enough for me.
I've been waiting so long for this.

I was going to tell you
when it was more certain.

And in the meantime, what? How much longer
will I be away from my granddaughter?

I don’t know, Aurora. I don’t know...

Did you really think I wasn't going to
find out? You take me for a fool!

You know perfectly well I don't.

What can I say so you
can forgive me? Tell me.

(ethereal music throughout)

-PABLO: Hey! Sorry. They blocked it off.
-Yeah, but why?

Because of Guillermo.

Who's Guillermo? I just heard
Sabrina mention his name.

-What were you doing with Sabrina?
-She was with Lila.

-And what were you doing with Lila?
-I ran into them. Who is Guillermo?

Some guy who hung out
with them and Axel...

-What happened to him?
-They think he disappeared in there.

-What? When?
-The night before last.

-You think it's true?
-I don't know. Did you bring the lamp?

We’ve got to find a way in.

PABLO:
We can go in through here.

But the fence is rusty. Did you
ever get a tetanus shot?

This way might be better.
Except for the snakes.

-C’mon! Pick one!
-Don't pressure me!

I got it! Hand me the lamp.

(clanking)

(ethereal music throughout)

Please, show us the way
with this light, Roberto Dalaras.

What are you doing?! Don't play games
with my dad! He isn't a ghost.

Not everything that happens
in this town is his fault.

No, no, I’m sorry, I'm sorry.
I don’t think that at all!

I wish there were more
people like him here.

Do you really mean that?

Without a doubt.

So why do people say what they say?

Envy. Who wouldn't want to be the
creator of the most important thing

that ever happened to Cape Qwert?

Ouija. The spirit game for beginners.

What I was doing was Ouija, though it
does require a board, which...

Got it. Thanks.

-PABLO: Through here.
-ERIC: Let's go.

(dramatic music throughout)

Federico, what did we talk about?

You have to clean it thoroughly.
There are stains all over the counter.

-Okay...
-No, no, no. Not just "okay."

Got it, Dad.

SABRINA: My aunt says the lights in the
park can steal your soul.

I don't believe in that nonsense!

No, me neither! But, you saw
what some people became.

-I'm leaving. Are you coming?
-Yes.

Can we talk? Please?

-What's wrong?
-I didn't know you had amnesia.

I'm good, but I'm not psychic.

-JAVIER: Agustín is missing.
-What do you mean Agustín is missing?

LILA:
What?! Really?

He's not answering his phone and he
didn't go home last night.

What happened to him?

We don't know. But you know
who would? Eric Dalaras.

Well, Lila doesn't think so... Today she
defended him in front of Sofia.

-Sabrina!
-Lila!

You know very well what
his family did to this town.

You can't do that. What were you thinking?

I can do whatever I want, okay?

(door slamming)

That's it.

POLICEMAN:
Copy that.

(dramatic music throughout)

Are you okay?

I love making contact with strange
species. Can you help me?

On the count of three... One...

(yelps)

Let's go.

(sighs)

ERIC:
Let's go.

(dramatic music)

PABLO:
This way, come on.

(waves gently crashing)

CARMEN:
Tinctures used for these cave paintings

were made with a mixture of salts and
pureed vegetables, mostly cactus.

The salts extracted from the sea and
the lagoon were sacred to these people.

Niktu shamans used them for medicine,
and some say in a variety of rituals.

(rocks sliding around)

Relax, this part of the chamber is always
moving and frequently has landslides.

But nothing to worry about.

There are many galleries within the
caves that have yet to be explored.

And what better than an unexplored cave to
leave us with myths and legends?

So, if you pay attention, you’ll hear
many stories about these caves.

This way.

(tense music throughout)

(rocks sliding around)

-(roar)
-(gasping)

Uma, here you are! Oh, sorry I scared you!
I'm sorry, I couldn't find you. Let’s go.

(birds tweeting)

ERIC:
What do I have to do?

PABLO: Well. Do you see the inserts
at the bottom of the fixture?

There are three of them.

ERIC:
No, I don't see them...

No, sorry. It's the other way around.

-Are they there?
-ERIC: Yes.

(clanking)

Now what?

Nothing.

CARMEN: I thought you were interested
in what I was telling you...

Uma... Are you okay? What
happened? Tell me...

(heavy breathing)

ERIC: Does it say anything else?

Eh... No, no, no, I don't know.
I don't understand any of this.

ERIC: In what order are the cables?
Blue, green, red?

From top to bottom... Red, blue, green.

(fiddling with mechanical parts)

Anything?

Almost there...

(buzzing)

-No. Nothing’s happening. Pablo?
-But how?

(dramatic music throughout)

Pablo?

-Eric?
-Pablo, where are you?

Pablo!

Eric?

PABLO:
Eric?

(ghostly whispers throughout)

(tense music throughout)

(plastic stretching)

(machinery creaking)

(tense music throughout)

(plastic stretching)
(ghostly gasps)

(roaring)

(frightened yelps)
(heavy breathing)

(dramatic music throughout)

(grunts)

(handle jiggling)

-(roaring)
-(snarling)

(heavy breathing)

-(slithering)
-(growl)

(door creaking)

(snarling)

-(growling)
-(heavy breathing)

(snarls)

Dad?

-(heavy breathing)
-(slithering)

(screaming)

-(heavy breathing)
-(snarling)

(growling scream)

(dramatic music)

ERIC:
Pablo!

PABLLO:
Eric! Eric!

Was that as bad for you as it was for me?

I'm so sorry. I swear this attraction
didn't cause nightmares...

It's all my fault.

We both wanted to connect the lamp and
see what would happen.

That's it! The lamp!

The lamp? We connected it, it didn't work!

-Are you sure?
-The nightmares.

When the lamp hung disconnected,
the attraction was harmless.

-But now that we connected it...
-The lights are what cause nightmares.

(phone chime)

LILA -
HI ERIC

HI LILA, HOW ARE YOU?

(message beep)

I don't want to scare you, but...

more people are believing that Guillermo
and Agustín disappeared because of you.

Who’s Agustín? Has
anyone else disappeared?

Yes. I know you didn't do anything, but...

I don't know, since you were in Tierra
Incógnita... maybe you knew something?

ERIC: No. Honestly, I have no idea.

The park has... It's dangerous. For real.

Why do you say that? What happened?

CARMEN: Uma, calm down.

I'll talk to you later, okay? Bye.

CARMEN: You can tell me what happened.
You know you can count on me, right?

That's it, relax. Good. Just breath.

Whatever it was is in the past.

That cave is very deceiving. It could
have been the echo, the shadows...

What happened?

I don't know. Something in the cave must
have shocked her. She was fine until...

Do you know if she was
in front of a mirror?

Or if she saw her own
reflection somewhere?

No, no, I don't think so... At one point
she did wander away from the group, but...

-It's fine, let me do it.
-Okay...

ERIC:
Hey.

(heavy breathing)

Wanna tell me what happened?

It's okay, listen to me.

You know that when Uma’s in
danger, Eric comes to the rescue.

(dramatic music throughout)

And if Eric is in danger...
Uma rescues him. Exactly.

That's why nothing bad can
ever happen to us, ever.

(click)

Do you understand now?

Hey.

Mom painted this. Did you
tape it back together?

Do you remember when Mom used
to tell us stories about the caves?

But they weren’t like the ones
Auntie tells tourists. Those were...

...darker.

(growl)

Uma, no! Calm down, Uma!
It was Mom's! That's Mom's!

Hello, Tamara? Yes, how are you, doctor?
I'm Carmen, Uma Dalaras' aunt.

(door opening)

Sorry, I'll call you right back.

CARMEN: Oh! What are you two doing here?

It's just you and me.
It's just you and me.

CARMEN:
I have no problem with you guys coming,

but last time I asked Dad to let me...

AURORA:
We already know...

SANTIAGO:
Well, but it's for a specific situation.

-AURORA: But your dad...
-CARMEN: Ugh!

-(glass crashing)
-(thud)

(dramatic music throughout)

THEY ARE A CURSE
GO AWAY

(orchestral music playing)
