01x06 - The Ritual of Forgetting

[bunniefuu]

["Cuanto Mas" playing]

- [man] Yes, I do. Yes, I do!
- [woman] I do, I do, I want it!

Jhony.

[Carmen] Jhony Ki, we must talk.

Ah! How can I make you understand
that you must knock

before you enter a place?

At least close the door.

- What's wrong with you?
- I can't go on like this.

I don't know what powers I should get
and I can't control the few ones I have.

I need the witch from the plains!

Look, that witch almost drove you nuts.
No, no, forget it.

It was your fault, not hers.

I need someone who teaches me.
If Ninibe is no longer here, who's left?

I don't think that's a good idea.

That witch doesn't inspire confidence
in me,

and she never told me all the risks
that come from taking your shadow away.

That no longer matters.

Since I left Cristobal,
I can't eat or sleep.

I do nothing but think about him,
cry and sometimes levitate things.

I must control my powers
and I need someone who can train me.

Yes, but who? The witch
that almost left you with no memory?

Yes, and you'll look for her right away

and find out who she is
and how she can help me.

At least close the...

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[theme music plays]

"Today is our anniversary.
One year together,

days of shared dreams and experiences,

of promises by the sea
and the happiest days in my life.

Leon, I want to tell you
that other than my father,

you are the person
I trust the most in the world.

You are the best.
The most intelligent and honest person

and you are my best friend.

And that's why I want to ask you
to live with me."

- How do you like it?
- You are too corny, Mayte!

- Do you really want to live with Leon?
- Why not if we are always together?

Carmen, what do you think?

I think love is a wonderful gift
and you should...

take advantage of the chance
you have to be together

- because that's a blessing.
- Oh, no, forgive me.

I'm talking like mad here and you broke up

with your boyfriend a little while ago.
I'm sorry.

It's okay, it's not your fault.

- Do you have a cold?
- [Alicia] That's called lovesickness.

It's been scientifically proven
that heartbreak lowers your defenses.

Love is harmful to health, friend.

That's why my thing is less romanticism
and more Tunder.

What's Tunder?

That was expected, Carmen.

Tunder is a dating app, like Tinder,
but in the university

where you enter your data,
upload a number of photos,

see if the guys you like are there
and if they are,

you click like, they return the like
and that's all.

You have a date. That is easy!

Isn't it easier to go to the cafeteria
and talk face to face?

- One point to Carmen!
- No, what if he doesn't like me?

Public rejection is terrible.
With Tunder you avoid humiliation.

- But you lose the magic.
- [Alicia] Oh, how old fashioned!

Update because this is the new method
to conquer.

So, if I were you Carmen, I'd join Tunder
if you want to forget your ex.

I don't want to forget my ex
or think about someone...

That uploads a fake photo.

Look, this boy is not happy,
he is bitter and bad tempered.

How do you know that?

Pure intuition.

And what about this one?

Lazy and stingy.

And this one?

Has a girlfriend and is unfaithful to her.

Does that mean
this hippie will be the love of my life?

No, he is a good student
but has a son he doesn't care for.

Oh, what vivid imagination
you have Carmen!

Well, you have a boyfriend
and don't want to forget your ex.

Let me be happy with my Tunder.

Today, we'll study
the different wildlife observation methods

used for each species.

Does that mean you will teach us
how to cheat, Professor?

- But cheating is not always bad.
- It depends on the context.

If it favors science,
it is obviously good.

- Yes, because I know a couple of cheaters.
- [shushes]

Mayte is right.

Because if you were caught cheating,
it would have no benefit.

Oh!

Carmen, the traps I'm talking about
are precisely those

to save the species that we got.

[door opening]

I'm sorry, teacher.
I almost couldn't leave work.

You arrived just in time. Pair up
and answer the following questions.

[Leon] Should we get together?

First question,
what data can a biologist obtain

through direct observation of the species?

Fourth question...
why is conservation linked to monitoring?

Dani, look, the scientists
usually put collars

with electronics and GPS,
on animals in danger of extinction

to monitor their movement
and mating levels.

What are you thinking about
that you're not paying attention to me?

About JuanJo... who wrote me again.

Oh, yeah?

That ungrateful one doesn't talk to me.
What does my little brother say?

It's not what he says but how he says it.

"From afar I think of you differently,

you are not an abstract memory
but a voice in my mind."

He's quite a poet, isn't he?

[Carmen] How do you think
new technologies can improve

the primates monitoring methods?

What are primates?

Apes, monkeys, theory of evolution.
We come from them.

Don't we come from Adam and Eve?

Carmen, be serious,
otherwise I'll change the team.

I'm not really
in the mood for this nonsense.

I can see that.

Are you all right?

Yes, look, I am all right.
What about you? How is lovesickness going?

It is apparently bad
because you are going nuts. [scoffs]

Leon, let's not talk about that...

because I don't want to cry.

- [Carmen cries]
- Oh, I'm sorry.

You are ending your relationship
and I'm bothering you.

I know what breaking up with someone
you love means too.

How long were you together?

Centuries.

A relationship is something

- quite difficult to manage.
- [gasps]

But don't you think there is a possibility
to go back with Cristobal?

- Don't mention him, please!
- I'm sorry, I get it.

Listening to someone you love
and more when you are...

- Leon, look a rat!
- But what, what?

What's wrong? What's wrong?

I'm sorry, Professor, I think I saw a rat.

[Esteban] There is nothing wrong,
keep working, please.

Leon, I love you, I miss you,
I'll meet you by the dock at four o'clock.

[Mayte] Look.

Thank you.

[Leon] Hmm, I hope Mayte hasn't seen
the chat.

[Mayte exhales] I can't believe it, Laura?

Who the hell is Laura?

[Leon] She would discover the truth
sooner or later.

I must leave.

No, no, but wait,
we haven't finished the work.

- Carmen!
- Professor, I have an emergency.

- I'm sorry!
- Carmen, where are you going?

[Alicia] Hmm, if you continue like that
you'll fail the semester.

[Dani] I think she lost it again.

[man ]...go to the beach together.

[man ] If I write to her
she'll think I'm too interested

but if I don't she'll think
she meant nothing.

[woman] I should quit work
and start my own business right now.

Hey, hey, what are you thinking about?
Concentrate on this world.

Jhony Ki, I am desperate.
Tell me you have good news for me.

[Jhony Ki] Oh, what a woman!
When will I get one like her?

But if you don't have money
and the looks...

Jhony Ki, concentrate,

you have the looks,
and money is the least of your worries.

How do you know that?

Because I can read other
people's thoughts now

but I must find out how since
that activates my powers.

Did you find the witch from the plains?

- Yes, I have good and bad news.
- Oh, no, Jhony Ki.

The good news is
that you found the witch...

and the bad news is
I wouldn't like to know who she is.

- Are you really listening to what I think?
- Yes.

[sighs]

- Are you sure she's a policewoman?
- Assistant Superintendent Sandra Lima.

No, no, no, I can't enter.

- I don't want to see Detective Corcel.
- So then?

I warned you, you owe me one.

[Carmen sighs]

Miss Carmen, I'm glad to see you here.
What can I do for you?

Nothing, I just came to accompany a friend
to make a complaint.

Hmm, that's too bad because I thought
you came to tell me the truth.

What truth?

[Corcel] What happened
with you that night.

And while you're at it, tell us
who you are and where you come from

because we still haven't found
a trace of you.

Are you investigating me?

- [Jhony Ki] Okay, ready.
- Did you file the complaint already?

Complaint?

A responsible adult is required
to sign it.

That's me. Let's go, bye.

Look, look, I can't help you.
This is a misunderstanding.

Please, I am sure you know magic,
otherwise how can you explain

how you gave Jhony Ki that ritual
to take the shadow away from me?

[Sandra] I knew what I did would get me
into problems.

That it you would get into problems?

- That's a real witch.
- No, no, I can't help you, period!

[Carmen] I need someone who helps me
to control my powers,

to help me discover my potential
and be prepared to face a powerful wizard.

I'm not a witch.

How do you know
about that powerful ritual then?

Well, I just knew it.

[Sandra] If they find out I read it
in Ninibe's Book of the Shadows

I'll get in big trouble here.

Oh, I can't think.

Do you have the Book of Shadows?

- What's the Book of Shadows?
- The manual to become a major witch.

It is our Bible. How did you get it?

It is in the chain of custody
of the case we traced to Ninibe.

I need it.

That's impossible. It is kept in a case
and it can't be violated,

nobody can enter there.

This is a life or death issue
and you owe it to me

because I almost lost my purpose
because of you

and since I am a real witch,
I can hypnotize you.

I no longer want to be involved and don't
want to know about those subjects anymore.

Since I read that book
I don't feel at ease, I see things

and have nightmares. No more!

- Nightmares about what?
- Mirrors, water.

The worst thing is that I feel a presence
and I don't know if it is an animal,

a jaguar or a being. I only know
I feel that presence every night.

Lucien!

- Who's Lucien?
- [Carmen] That doesn't matter.

What does is that if you help me
with the book,

I can give you a protection spell.

How am I supposed to take
that book out of here without being seen?

Easy, you don't have to take it out.

[shutter clicking]

[Jhony Ki] The photos arrived
but they are blank.

Not for me... I can read them.
The spells are organized

in ascending order.
As the chapter advances

the spells get more complex.

But what's so important
about having that book?

It will help me master all the powers
I need to face Lucien.

Carmen, you yourself said
we can't trust the police.

What makes you think that's the right book
and they are not setting us a trap?

That's the book!

Only a lineage witch can see them.

Sandra is not a witch, but she could see
a spell that harmed me...

and she also said she had nightmares.

It is clear Lucien is using her
to get to me.

- Let's stop that now then, okay?
- No, on the contrary!

I can't keep running away from the enemy.
I must defeat him and free Aldemar

so he can give me back my time
with Cristobal.

Are you ready to start?

[Jhony Ki] What will you turn her into?

[Carmen] Into nothing.

It is a spell that gives me the power
to accelerate time.

The plant should grow more than usual.

[speaking foreign language]

- Give me your shoe.
- My shoe?

Yes, give it to me. Fast.
I'll make it levitate

but in a controlled way.

[speaking foreign language]

What a disastrous apprentice!

You are more useless
than an ashtray on a motorbike!

Here it is.

"Reasons why a witch
can't control her powers.

First, because she is bewitched."
No, not anymore.

"Because she hasn't come of age."
Which is not my case.

- "Because she is sick."
- Sick? No.

Not that either.
"Because she is heartsick."

Bingo, we have a winner!

Despair has clearly turned you lame.

But how will we cure that, eh?

It says, "The way a witch
can cure her broken heart

is performing the release
and forgetfulness ritual."

Let's do it!

- [Alicia and Mayte talking indistinctly]
- [gasps]

Carmen.

- Hi.
- [Alicia] I need your help.

Your friend Mayte here is about
to do something crazy.

What is it?

If you don't want to accompany me,
I'll go with Carmen. That's all.

- Go where?
- What do you mean where?

- That means you lied to me.
- No!

You said she wanted to go with me.

No, it's just that Carmen is intuitive
so we must know what you think.

Mayte thinks Leon is cheating on her.
What do you think, Carmen?

I think Leon loves you.

- Carmen, that has never stopped anyone.
- I won't waste my time anymore, goodbye.

Let's go, Carmen, let's go.

[Jhony Ki hisses]

Women!

[Alicia] Mayte, this is not a good idea.

I think that if you have a doubt,
the best thing is to ask.

[Mayte] That means that if Leon
had an affair, it's better not to know.

Does that mean you prefer to live a lie?

I'm just saying that sometimes
you have no choice but lying.

A lie is a lie, period, Alicia.
White lies don't exist. Right, Carmen?

[Carmen] I think the truth
will come to light sooner or later.

Exactly! And since Leon didn't want
to tell me the truth,

I'll find that out by myself,
with or without you.

[Alicia sighs]

Look, there he is working like a good boy.

[Alicia] We should go to study because
we are wasting time here, Mayte.

- Yes, Mayte.
- No, no, no.

She said she'd be here at this time,
so I'll stay.

But she didn't come.

Either he put her in her place
or you didn't read it right. Let's go.

What's wrong?

Leon is an idiot and a professional liar

because I thought
he was the one more in love.

- I'm sorry, Mayte.
- It's okay.

Okay? You just found out your boyfriend
is cheating on you and you say it's okay?

- What's more, I'll make a scene for him.
- Alicia, it's not worth it.

I agree, but you should talk
to him anyway.

This must have an explanation.

Yes, just as in the movies.

You catch a man red-handed and he says,
"It's not what it looks like."

What we saw is evident, Carmen.

I don't know what we saw,
but all I know is that Leon loves you.

Someone that lies to you
doesn't love you, Carmen.

Not necessarily.

Look, you know what?

I don't want to talk
about it anymore.

I want to overcome it, get ahead.

It is over.
I won't shed one more tear for that idiot!

That's my friend! Let's go forward.

What then, a drink?
Shall we watch a movie?

No, I know, Tunder!

Gals, I want to ask you a favor.

It is something quite different
from all this...

but I need your help, please.

[Carmen] These are cinnamon, bay leaves,
sprigs and purple candles for each one.

I'll take care of the rest.

[Alicia] Carmen, are we going to do
a ritual?

[Mayte] That's why we are dressed
like this?

Yes.

We'll make a ritual to cut...

liberate, and forget one love.

Are you doing this for me?

I do it for me and for Cristobal.

If I don't manage to forget this love...

I won't be able to get on with my life.

I can't concentrate on my studies
or control myself.

I must get rid of this feeling
in order to go on.

Okay, and on the way
you help me with Leon.

I need him out of my life.

You should never do a ritual with rage...

because everything will go wrong.

Yes, Mayte.
[in English] It isn't all about you.

Carmen has been suffering
much longer than you.

Okay, forgive me, but I just saw
my boyfriend with another woman.

And I'm not going to cry.
Let's do the ritual instead,

and when we finish you'll accompany me
to set fire to Leon's boat.

Oh, come on, I was joking!

Let's go, gals!

[Alicia] Carmen, tell us the truth.
Are you a witch?

Because this ritual
and after what happened with Angel...

it seems you like these esoteric,
magic things.

My mother liked them.

It's a kind of family tradition.

Why, are you scared?

If you don't want to do it,
no problem.

I do.

Well, anyway these things
don't really work, do they?

I don't know.
But what's the worst that can happen?

[Carmen] Cristobal, before saying goodbye,
I want to thank you

for having been a part of my life.

I wish you to be happy and not suffer.
I kept you out of harm's way...

and will forget you for love.

Oh, listen, pardon,
but it is very pretty, Carmen.

I have a heart, too.

[Carmen] I say goodbye to your ring
and your letters.

Did you still use written letters
on paper?

You seem like you're from colonial times.

Yes, more or less.

[Carmen] Tell me.

[Cristobal] What shall I tell you?

Why aren't you afraid of me?

Why should I be afraid of you
because you're different from other women?

Yes, some people are afraid of that.

Is that so?

Oh, no, no! [laughs]

Coward men may be,
but I am a strong and brave man.

- Yes, very strong.
- [chuckles]

I love you.

Do you love me?

- And are you afraid of me?
- Never.

I say goodbye to everything
that binds us together...

be free.

[Carmen sniffles]

- I can't do it.
- No?

I don't want to forget him,
nor let him forgive me.

I know I should, but I can't.

Saying goodbye to him is like saying
goodbye to an important part of my life.

- [Jhony Ki] Weren't you able?
- No, Jhony Ki, I couldn't do it.

You must forget him
otherwise you'll go crazy.

Yes but I must find a way
to control myself

or maybe I should accept it and lose him
but I don't want that.

- It's so complicated.
- Hello.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Hi, gals. Bye gals!

- Bye!
- Bye!

[Alicia] Well, are you ready for Tunder?

- [Mayte] Yes!
- I pass.

Come on, just to have fun,
let's see what's out there.

Let's see.

[music playing]

- [Mayte] Forget it, me neither.
- [Alicia] Didn't you want to forget him?

But Carmen is right.

Forgetting one love is just
like forgetting yourself.

I'll be right back.

Poor thing!

I'm sure she'll end up forgiving
his unfaithfulness.

Listen, Carmen,
love is not only blind but stupid.

Alicia, we don't know what happened.

The truth is...

You mean it is good to see faces in photos
and bad to accept reality.

Tell me about this one.

[Carmen] No, I don't know
what to tell you. I can't read it.

[Leon] You were spying on me.

Yes, and I know what I did was wrong
but I saw what I saw.

Who is Laura, Leon?

She's my sister, Mayte.

I know I told you I didn't have a family,
and obviously lied to you,

but since my father was sent to prison

I didn't want to have any contact
with them.

Your father in prison?

Because of stealing land.
My family is wealthy, Mayte,

but their fortune comes
from other people's suffering.

I never agreed with that,
and it is why I work though I shouldn't.

Why haven't you ever told me anything?

I don't want my family's past
to represent me.

It embarrasses me.

Oh, my love, forgive me.

I love you, skinny.

But you distrusted me,
what I feel for you.

When did I do anything
that made you doubt?

- Never.
- But that wasn't enough.

That means I was wrong.

I know that,
but you should understand me too.

No, no, Mayte.

You know what? You surprised me.

- I thought you were more mature.
- Pardon?

This is as far as I go.

Does that mean we're breaking up?

Take it as you want.

[Dani chuckles]
Ah, with no excuse you found me.

- Hi, sister-in-law.
- Where is Carmen? I must talk to her.

That ritual we had didn't work,
I mean, Leon has just broken up with me.

Carmen left already.

- What ritual?
- What?

Did he break up with you?
Because of that woman?

- Yes.
- [Dani] How come?

Wait, does Leon have another woman?

- No, I mean, it is his sister.
- I can't believe it.

He broke up with me
and treated me awful.

He called me immature
and said many things that you witnessed.

- Yes, I did.
- I mean, it's not fair on me, either.

Give me that.

[Dani] Well, thanks for telling me, okay?

IT'S A DATE

Ready, I have one like.

[Mayte] I'm coming.

Hi.

May I?

Where are we going?

- Maybe to a party.
- Let's go.

- Yes?
- Yes.

We'll go in this.

Is that your car?

- Yes.
- Hey, it is very pretty!

- I'll open the door.
- Oh, thank you very much.

- And where will we go.
- Where?

To the party?

No, not yet. Why go there
if we can have the party here?

No, let's go. Or do you want me to drive?
I can do it.

No, I'll drive.

- Get in and let's go.
- No, not yet.

Look, you know what? I better go
if you don't want to go to the party.

- Where will you go? Relax.
- Let go of me! Let go of me!

- No, calm down.
- Let go of me!

Calm down, calm down,
because it's only the two of us here.

[Cristobal] "My beloved Carmen,
I have tried everything

to erase your love from my heart
and it is not possible.

There are loves you can't forget,
and I don't want to forget you.

Why separate if our hearts are just one?

If I must die for you,
let it be for love.

I will fight for us
even at the cost of my life.

Yours truly, Cristobal."

Stop it!

No more!

[man] Get in.

What do you want now?

Time travel.

I want to help Carmen and defeat Lucien.

Interesting, but I can't help you.

And if I said I could free you?

How?

My father is very influential
with the Holy Inquisition.

I can help with your transfer,
and on the way,

pay some of my men to set
an ambush and liberate you.

I like the plan, and you are right.

Your father is influential,
your family has the money.

And I have the motivation.

We have a deal!

We have a deal!

- [lock opening]
- [chains clanging]

Come close... don't be afraid.

[speaking foreign language]

That you see your worst of nightmares
and believe it is real.

[thudding]

Only Carmen can undo the spell
I'm condemned to.

Leave her alone, trust me,
and from now on you will do...

what I ask.

It's over, and I won't suffer
because of you anymore!

And, well, I want the truth
and want it now!

Detective, believe me when I say
I did it out of curiosity only.

- Besides, that book only has blank pages.
- I see, so why did you want to have them?

I'll confess something to you.
I collect photos

of the strangest objects
from chains of custody,

- it's a kind of hobby.
- Wow!

How interesting what you find out
about people you work with.

Tell me something, how long have you
and I been working together?

Many years, and I've just found out
you are a liar.

I tracked your cell phone, Sandra,
and found out...

that the same hour
you took photos of that book,

you sent a message to Jonathan,
better known as Jhony Ki,

the friend of Carmen Eguiluz,
the girl who was filing

an alleged complaint.

I want the truth and I want it now!

- Oh, Pablo.
- Detective.

Detective, I don't know
why I'm doing this.

- I think I have been bewitched.
- Bewitched, Sandra? Get serious!

Why is Carmen so interested in that book,
why?

Because of that,
because it is a book of magic,

of witchcraft. It has spells, rites.

Everything about Ninibe has a relationship
with a satanic sect.

Jose Luis, you should quit
so many social networks and study more.

Congratulations, as always.

And where is Mayte... Leon?

I know nothing about her.

Professor, can we call her?

Yes, sure.

[Carmen] Bruno.

We are all here worried about Mayte.

No, no, no, I don't believe that!

Mayte is seriously ill in the hospital!
