01x07 - Lucien

[bunniefuu]

[Cristobal] I want you to marry me
as soon as possible...

- [woman sighing]
- ...and be with me until death do us part.

I love you.

Carmen?

Are you all right?

It could have been you.

How come they let Mayte
go with a stranger?

Because according to Mayte and Alicia,
that's how you meet people nowadays.

The young man Mayte left
with had a Tinder profile.

You can't trust anyone, Carmen.

How old was he roughly?

Around
and his name was Luis Fernando Naufre,

but his profile no longer exists,
and I can't understand why.

Okay, at what approximate time
did they leave the bar?

About : p.m.

Did that man do something wrong to Mayte?

Tino, I need testimonies from workers
and watchmen

who were around The Sorceress Bar,

from eight to : p.m.
and I need them now!

Bruno has news on Mayte's condition.

Mayte has no traces of any drug,
was not intoxicated...

and shows no signs of v*olence.

- Is she all right then? Can we see her?
- [Bruno] No.

Can she leave then?

No, no, despite all that
she hasn't woken up,

which means Mayte is gradually
disconnecting herself

from this plane.

If they didn't do anything wrong
to her, then why is she like that?

The doctors can't explain it.

Can we see her?

[Alicia crying]

Mayte, hi.

[Dani] Leon, talk to her.
See if that works. Go, go.

[Alicia crying]

Hi, Mayte, it's us, your friends.

Hold her hand, let her know
you are here with her.

- It is Leon, your...
- Boyfriend.

Not anymore.

Lie then, or don't you think
the occasion deserves it?

Mayte, wake up, please.

Oh, no, don't help that much!
What if we play her favorite song?

I think that's a good idea.

- [Alicia sniffling]
- [heart rate monitor beeping]

- [Mayte] Get in and let's go!
- [man] No, not yet.

You know what?
I better get out.

Calm down, relax,
it is just the two of us here.

[Carmen breathes heavily]

Socubanu... I order you to wake her up
from the dream.

What are you doing?

Trying to cure her.

With all due respect,
I don't believe in alternative medicine.

This is serious.

Don't tell me that we'll cure her
with a colored pyramid.

Leon, this isn't alternative medicine.

Carmen does witchcraft.

[scoffs] Witchcraft? [sighs]

Witchcraft? Are you being serious?

- It is something rather like magic, like...
- [Leon] No, no, no, stop talking nonsense!

Our friend is in a weird coma
and you come in here playing Harry Potter.

Get out. Get out
or I'll have to call a responsible adult.

Leon, what Mayte has is a...

Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt,
but the physician needs

to do other tests on Mayte,
so you'll have to get out.

I think that's perfect.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

[theme music plays]

Carmen, I know you saw something,
please tell me what it was.

- Mayte has a spell.
- Stop it, stop it!

If you keep talking nonsense
I'll leave you here in psychiatric ward!

Daniel, tell them something, please!

Carmen, do you think the guy from Tinder

she dated jinxed her
or something like that?

What man from Tinder?

The one she went out
with after you broke up with her.

No, no, aren't you aware of the danger?

She wasn't bewitched or anything.
I'm sure she was given scopolamine.

Didn't you hear
the test results came back all right?

[Leon] But she's not all right.

If I find out she's like that
because of any of you,

- I will make sure that...
- Okay, okay, relax and don't thr*aten us.

Aren't you supposed to not love her
now you're not dating anymore?

Well no, we aren't dating anymore...

and I don't love her romantically,
but I care for her.

So I'll do something useful
and ask for professional help,

not light little candles like you.

Carmen, does this have anything
to do with the ritual?

[Dani sighs]

Will you two tell me
what the hell you did?

Carmen did a ritual because she wanted
to forget her boyfriend,

but it seems Leon was the only one
who forgot.

Was Leon in the ritual?

- And you didn't bring me!
- He wasn't. The ritual was for me.

Mayte did something wrong,
and I must save her no matter what.

Carmen, let me help you, please!

No, this is quite dangerous.
I don't want any of you to get involved.

Is it true that all this has to do
with a spell?

[detective] Carmen!

I must talk to you.

According to Sergeant Lima,
you belong to a satanic cult.

What?

I can't believe
that they keep accusing me

of having a pact with the devil,
same as four centuries ago.

So why did you want the pages
of that book included

in Ninibe's chain of custody case?
Tell me why.

Just like you,
I am looking for the Fire k*ller...

- and I think his name is Lucien.
- What? Lucien?

- Yes, that's his real name.
- How do you know that?

Because Ninibe told me
when she disappeared.

For God's sake Carmen!
Why didn't you tell me that before?

Who is this Lucien?
Where did he come from?

- What relationship do you have with him?
- None.

I don't know who he is,
but I'm looking for him.

No, you are looking for nothing.
That's not your job.

Please stay away from this investigation.

- [cell phone ringing]
- Got me?

Tino.

[Tino] Boss, we have testimonies
from the security people,

and Miss Mayte Preciado
indeed left The Sorceress Bar

at : with a young man.

We have the car plates
and how to locate him. Just say so.

I'll go there now.

You and I haven't finished.

- [Esteban] Carmen?
- [sniffles]

Is everything okay?

Everything is wrong, Professor.

Mayte is still in a bad condition.

[cries]

And what if Mayte stays like that forever?

[Carmen] I won't allow it.
Lucien is not going to win.

I can't understand why he messes with
the people I love the most.

Why doesn't he face me?

I dreamed last night
that Cristobal married Hilda.

Was it really a dream or a premonition?

And what if I really lost Cristobal?

No, Carmen. That's what Lucien wants,
to deceive you.

He puts things inside your head. He wants
to make you lose focus to b*at you.

Anyway, I don't think Cristobal
will forget you in one week...

and if that happens,
it's because it wasn't really love.

You are right, but if we want
another chance with Cristobal,

I must hurry.

I can't spend the rest of my life fearing

that Lucien will mess with those
I love the most.

Do you have a plan?

Yes, face him, but first I must undo
the spell he put on her.

Aha, and how?

To remove the eternal dream spell,
the wizard will have to awaken

all of the victim's senses.

To awaken the senses
you need spines from a Stenocactus,

an exotic Mexican cactus.

Every scientific method has
three steps, Observation...

a hypothesis, and experimentation.

[Carmen] To awaken the sense of sight,
you need the feather

from a Momotus momota or the crown Motmot.

Professor, where can I see
a Momotus momota?

What for?

[Carmen] For another class.

[Alicia] Carmen.

Carmen!

Why are you looking
for that ugly bird?

Because I am studying it.

Carmen, you can't fool me.
Tell me the truth.

Does it have to do with Mayte's spell?

Yes, but I want to do it alone,
I don't want to affect anyone.

Carmen, please let me help you,
I feel responsible, too.

I also want to help.

I don't feel responsible,
but I love action,

and am indeed interested
in Mayte recuperating soon.

If you want to do something for me,

I need you to help me
find some ingredients.

- Which ones?
- The first I need is a gold ring.

No, a real one.

[Alicia] I can't take it off.
What shall I do?

- Why did you put it on?
- I don't know, so I didn't lose it.

Come, let me see.

[Dani grunts]

- You have very soft hands.
- [giggles] I think they are sweating.

That will help us to...

Magic, you are free from any commitment.

Hi, do you have everything already?

- [Alicia] Yes.
- Let's go.

The cactus to activate touch,
the feather to activate sight,

the ring to activate taste,
and vanilla essence

to activate smell,
but there is one sense missing.

- The hearing.
- She went to the university.

The problem is, to activate her hearing,
Mayte must hear words from her true love.

We'll ask Leon the favor
and that will be all.

Mm-mm. Leon's words must be real,
he has to feel them.

But if Leon no longer loves her,
can we break the spell we did?

The problem is that to break the spell
I need Mayte, and she is bewitched.

So are we like the snake
that bites its tail?

[groans] More or less,
but I think there is a solution.

What's that?

What if we make Leon
fall in love with Mayte again?

- Asleep?
- [Carmen] Mm-mm

I think there is a way,
but we don't have much time.

I must find out how they fell in love.

[Alicia] As far as I know,
they met during a diving course.

That's good to know. Pepper seeds, please.

[Carmen] What else?

They like the ocean, animals,
sometimes they go out camping.

And also share dull taste in clothes.
Look at that.

Dani.

Chili and ginger, please.

Chili, pepper and ginger
awaken all senses.

With a bit of chocolate,
we'll awaken the desire to fall in love.

Hechuego... make Leon see you in me!

Our spell will last only three hours.

So I need you to go
and get Mayte's clothes.

Sure, perfect.
She has some stuff at my house.

- [music playing]
- [Dani] Thank you.

Did you make me come here

just to ask if I agree with you going
to Australia to surprise JuanJo?

Leon, it's a very important subject.

Mayte is still in the hospital,

and you think I want to be talking
nonsense in a bar?

- Oh, I thought you didn't love her?
- I don't love her as a girlfriend...

but I care about her as a friend.

Okay, relax.

Anyway, look, Alicia's coming over.

Hi.

Guess who just left the hospital?

Who? Mayte?

Mayte, is she all right? How is she doing?

Fantastic!
She said she would come here now.

So welcome her with the best attitude

as she's just left the hospital,
you got me?

We should support her during
these moments when she...

Exactly, that's why
we should raise a toast,

because there is nothing better
than friends.

Cheers to a friend
who's recovered as if by magic!

- Exactly!
- Cheers!

Yes, and we should stick with our friends
during the most difficult times.

What did she tell you?

She told me that... I don't understand
why she hasn't arrived

- because she should already be here.
- Ah, look, there she is!

Mayte.

Hi!

Hi. I'm so happy to be here again.

[Spanish song playing]

[Dani] I can't believe the spell
is working. She's doing real magic.

Well, let's not claim victory yet
because there are only two hours left

to make sure
Mayte doesn't fall asleep forever,

and the truth is, Leon is looking
at the waitress more than at Carmen.

Well, sometimes it only takes an instant
for your best friend to become a lover.

That happened to me with JuanJo!

It was magic!

Dani, why do you love JuanJo so much?

Alicia, because he knows me better
than anyone, you know?

With him I can be myself,
just like with you.

You're similar in that way!

When I write to him
I feel as if I'm talking to you.

Dani.

I think...

it's not going to work.
The plan is not going to work.

I'll always thank my father
for teaching me

not to be afraid of the ocean.

I love it, and if I were
a marine animal. I'd be a dolphin.

Yes.

- If I were a fish, I'd be an abyss ray.
- An abyss ray.

How do you know?

Because I don't forget
what we've talked about,

especially all you've told me.

Incredible, because to me
I don't know why,

it is as if the memories
were going away.

- Don't let them go.
- I try but I can't help it.

Oh, I know what being away is like,
and sometimes memories turn into dreams,

sometimes you think
the past never existed,

and that's why you must force yourself
to remember it.

You are sounding rather weird.

And you have no idea of how happy we were.

Oh, Mayte, I'm glad to see you are awake,

but if you think there is a possibility
for us to be together again,

let me tell you right away
that I don't feel that there is.

Excuse me.

No, it's not working.

I reminded him of the good old times
and got nothing.

Did you mention
how interesting, intelligent

- and handsome he is, according to him?
- [Alicia] Dani.

I already told him that,
well, more or less.

But I can't beg anymore.
Mayte would have a little dignity too.

Yes, there is nothing more off-putting
than begging.

[Alicia] Yes, but we only have half
an hour left, we're running out of time.

Carmen, you'd be like Cinderella.

And we would be screwed!

I think we must resort to the plan
that never fails.

[Carmen] Which one?

If it didn't work with the memory
and the heart, let's try passion.

So let's go!

- Alicia, I can't do that.
- We only have minutes left, Carmen,

or Mayte becomes
the new Sleeping Beauty.

- I can't do that.
- Wait a second.

Hi, let's dance. I love this song.

- But don't you see I'm...
- One second, one second.

Shall we dance?

[Spanish song playing]

There are only ten minutes left.
What are we going to do?

I don't know.

- I'm going to go now.
- Don't go, please!

Mayte, I am tired.

- What's wrong? What's wrong?
- He's leaving.

Oh, I don't know.

Accompany him, give me a second.

If you want, I'll walk you to the exit.

- [Alicia] Will it be enough?
- Well, I hope so.

[Carmen] Leon. Leon. Leon, wait!

Feeling like that because of me
is not your fault.

[Mayte] Sometimes you say things
you don't want to and hurt

those you love the most,
but it is always worthwhile

if it's real love.

Don't make the mistake I made.

Let's leave it at that.

It worked!

[Dani] Oh, my God, Leon is kissing
his girlfriend's best friend!

Leon, why are you doing this?

I've just remembered
how much I miss you and...

Forgive me. I don't know why
I was behaving like that. I love you.

You are my friend, my love,
my partner, my accomplice, you are...

Carmen, what's going on?
Where is Mayte? Did we kiss?

[Leon stutters] Why did we just kiss?

I think I was drugged.

No, well, yes,
but I did it to save Mayte.

You did what?

[Leon] And was she drugged, too?

Carmen, did you give her
the same potion used to bewitch me?

Leon, it is not what you think.

Mayte's health condition
is not our fault.

What we did to you
was necessary to save her.

Carmen says her senses
should be awakened...

and she needs the love of her life
to talk to her.

You just need to whisper in her ear,
so that she hears your voice.

Tell her how you feel about her, Leon.

No, you are crazy.
I won't be any part of this.

[Alicia] Okay, don't worry.

We have enough
with what we recorded at the bar.

[Leon through phone] I've just remembered
how much I miss you and...

I don't know what was going on with me.

I love you. You are my friend, my love,

my partner, my accomplice, you are...

[Leon] Alicia...

are you sure this is going to work?

We don't know...
but it doesn't hurt to try.

[heart rate monitor beeping]

[Leon sighs]

My love, it's me, Leon.

Wake up please, I'm waiting for you...

and will always want
to be with you, always.

[gasps]

[Carmen] The time has come.

Hold hands and close your eyes.

Mumi pelu-re...

take me where you are
so I can bring you back.

[birds chirping]

Mayte, I free you from any spell
they may have put upon you.

Wake up.

Come back with us.

[Mayte] Lucien is waiting for you.

He has Ninibe... she is alive.

Use your power to save us.

[peacock screaming]

[Mayte hums]

Mayte... I command you to wake up
and tell the whole truth.

Tell the Police what you know.

Sisecu, break Lucien's spell.

Come back!

Facing him is not your mission, it's mine.

Now that you showed me
who captured you,

you can come back
to the world of the living, Mayte.

[Carmen breathes heavily]

- Wake up!
- [gasps]

- Mayte!
- Mayte, Mayte, my love!

Mayte, are you all right?

- Are you all right?
- Easy, easy.

[Alicia] Mayte, you're back!

Tell them what you know, and who did it.

I must leave.

My time has come.

Where are you going, Carmen?
Let us help you.

I must do this by myself.

Where did she go?

To face the Fire k*ller.

[Carmen] Just as you help castaways,
guide me tonight,

give me my mother
and my lineage witches' strengths

to be able to face Lucien.

Please.

Guide me.

If Esteban is Lucien,
you started off on the wrong foot, Carmen.

Why do you say that?

Because he somehow has you bewitched
and he knows you.

That's why you like each other,
it's obvious.

Don't talk nonsense, Jhony Ki.

My heart belongs to Cristobal only.

Look Carmen, I only ask you to be careful.

Lucien knows all your weak points

and will do everything
to convince you he's good.

Why are you talking to me like that?

Come on! Don't tell me
you are reading my mind now.

[Jhony Ki] Don't think about Aldemar
or say you have been seen with him.

Think about April,
about the last XD song.

Have you seen Aldemar?

Jhony Ki, when was it?

How were you able to summon him?

Everything was a mistake.

All right, I summoned him
but he asked me to take care of you.

And can you talk to him now?

Where am I?

[Carmen] I called upon you.

I was able to do it at last.

[Aldemar] You are powerful now.

- You managed to bring me here.
- Why did you use Jhony Ki?

He shouldn't be involved in this mission.

You involved him when you decided
to tell him who you were.

After that he came to visit me
at the Meantime Garden,

and curiosity has a price.

I'm very grateful to Jhony Ki
because he not only does his job well,

but ended up being
the best assistant ever.

You are ready.

You did it!

If you could get in touch with Jhony Ki,
why didn't you contact me,

and leave me at the mercy of Lucien?

- My friend Mayte is in danger.
- Don't complain.

There are certain paths
we must walk alone.

Every minute that you waste here
is a minute you don't see Cristobal.

Lucien bewitched Cristobal,
your beloved's heart is contaminated,

and you must go back to help him.

If he doesn't remember you
before the next full moon

he won't remember you ever again.

When Lucien faces you,
don't believe anything he says.

He will try to use Esteban's charms.
Not a word.

Concentrate on your mission
that's the way to get back to Cristobal.

Cast the following spell
and you will defeat Lucien.

[birds chirping]

[Esteban] I was waiting for you.

You were cheating on me all this time.

I know it's not easy to understand,
Carmen,

but there is a reason,
to start you out as a high witch.

You hurt Mayte...
and turned all those women to ashes.

- I didn't do that, Carmen.
- Where is Ninibe?

I retained her, but not for the reason
you think, Carmen.

If I were so mean,
I would have hurt you the very moment

I found out you were coming for me,
but something told me

you were not on the side of evil,
and have been passing

- all the tests I've set for you.
- Tests?

Now I understand everything.

The witch from the plains, Uncle Braulio.

Uncle Braulio, you were him.
All this was a trap.

But if you think I'll be on your side,
you are wrong.

Carmen, listen to me.
Aldemar is the enemy.

You forced me to leave Cristobal,
asked me to break up with him,

so you could hypnotize him
and then separate us.

[groans]

[Esteban grunts]

[breathes heavily]
You don't belong in that time, Carmen.

We need you here.

- I am like you, I need you.
- Stop it!

I don't want to listen to you!

You are selfish and evil!

Chumibaco, assemble all my powers
and descendants to help me defeat Lucien!

You are a powerful witch.

Use your power to do justice!

Satori siduos... don't let him defeat
or harm me ever again,

undo the spell and free Aldemar.

[groans]

[grunts]

[sighs]

[water dripping]

Ninibe!

- Ninibe!
- Carmen?

Carmen, help me!

- Carmen! I'm here!
- Ninibe!

[Ninibe] Carmen, help me!

- Ninibe. Ninibe!
- Get me out of here, get me out please.

Wait.

Where is Lucien? He can't see you.
Lucien can't see you.

Lucien is no longer a thr*at.
You are safe. Don't worry, okay?

[overlapping chattering]

Gentlemen, we are currently investigating.

The good news is that Professor Ninibe
appeared and is alive.

[reporter] Is it true
that a Littoral University professor

is the main suspect?

I can tell you it is someone known
to the university.

I can't believe the professor
is the Fire k*ller!

No, I can't either.

- What if there is another explanation?
- Come on, come on, my love.

The professor had you locked up
very close to his house

all this time, almost unconscious.

Yes, he convinced us all
with his boyish innocent look

and speech about the need
to save the world.

Carmen! Carmen, are you all right?

She came to say goodbye
because she's leaving.

And even though I tried to convince her,
I couldn't.

Where will you go?

[Carmen] I've already fulfilled
my mission, guys.

I must go back to my world, to my life.
Cristobal is waiting for me.

But Carmen,
do you want to be a sl*ve again?

No, I won't go back to it being
the same as before.

And you'll go just like that and leave us?

I brought you different souvenirs
you may use some day...

and if you want to contact me someday,
Jhony Ki knows how.

Thank you, my friends.

Thanks for showing your world to me...

for teaching me that friendship exists,
and as you say...

"Hashtag, I'm leaving,
hashtag, I'll miss you."

[Mayte cries]

[all cry]

[chuckles] Carmen!

You did your part...
and the master will do his, too.

[Carmen chuckles]

It is time for you to go back
to your loved one.

Thanks for saving me.

Wayau Hiyawona, wayuao hialocha,
quincamanquecamaricu camaumu.

Bring Carmen back to the time
Cristobal was alive,

just as Aldemar promised.

Now!

[gasps]

Oh, it is the witch!

[end credits music playing]
