Post by bunniefuu »

[man] Do it! We're ready, we're ready.

Welcome to Mr. Hyde.

Let's get down to business.

-Nasty!
-[croaking]

Miguel, grab that.

-[man ] No way, man.
-[woman] You said it was fine.

-[man ] Hey, what are you doing?
-[Miguel] It's fine, it's fine.

It's nothing, just a perfume.
We won't have any problems, it's okay.

-[Miguel] It's really hot.
-[woman laughs]

This trip is something else.

-[man ] Bro, what's wrong with you?
-I can't breathe!

-[woman] What's wrong?
-I can't breathe!

-[woman] Breathe, take it easy.
-[gasping for air]

We have an emergency at the lab
of Litoral University.

[screaming]

[theme music playing]

What happened?

The police got an anonymous call
saying there was an emergency here.

They found Miguel Gutiérrez
on the floor, having a seizure.

-Is he okay?
-[man] They took him to the hospital.

He's having tests done.
Are you his friend?

I met him two days ago,
he came to ask me for something.

-He said he was having panic att*cks.
-Miguel came to see you?

-Yes.
-What did you give him?

Just a rubbing oil.

The one in this bottle?

Yes, but they're just herbs
to relax and help him lose his fear.

Do you think what happened
to Miguel was my fault?

[Amanda] Don't you see the harm
your witchcraft does?

I hope Miguel is okay.

[Alicia] So, Jhony Ki,
why do you need me so "urgently?"

Where's the amulet?

-What amulet?
-The amulet Kobo said you stole from him.

It was an accident.

-It's not an amulet.
-Yes, it is.

-I don't have it.
-Go get it right away, now!

That's impossible.
I can't, it doesn't exist anymore.

I burnt it.

[Alicia's voice]
Let the powerful light of this fire...

consume my mistake.

And may I never have anything to do
again with that pirate.

[Jhony] You burnt it, Alicia?

Why would you do that?

And why do you need it so badly?

-When he finds out about the talisman--
-How could he? He's in the past.

-Why would you do that?
-It's your fault!

-My fault? I wasn't even there!
-[rattling door]

If you hadn't brought the talisman,
he wouldn't have asked me to come.

-We have to tell Carmen.
-What?

That's the worst idea.

Carmen can't find about this.

She won't like it if you interfered
with time.

This problem is ours,
we need to fix it here and now.

Come in.

You go first, Jhony Ki,
I don't want to see him.

-Come here.
-[Alicia] Mr. Pirate?

I swear, I didn't mean to do it.

There's no one here, Jhony Ki.

What? But I tied him up here!

Of course. I'm stupid for believing you.

You just traveled five centuries,
you're jet-lagged.

No, he was here.
What are we going to do now, Alicia?

Us? It's your problem, not mine.

Yes, it is. He's out there
and he's not looking for me, right?

He really is here. He's here.

I'd recognize this smell miles away.

Then try to sniff out his trail
and let's go find him.

Let's go.

[sighs]

-We said no one would get close to Carmen.
-[beeping]

Miguel was scared about the challenge
we were about to do.

He thought it would be a good idea to ask
her for help, without telling her why.

I told him a thousand times not
to look for her. And I was right.

He put us all at risk.

[beeping continues]

Tomás.

No one.

No one can know we were doing
the Cold Blood challenge.

[Carmen] Do you think what happened
to Miguel was my fault?

I know you'd never hurt anyone.

But one of those ingredients
you gave him could've been toxic to him.

For now, be very careful with magic.

I have to show them my magic
can't harm anyone.

Let the doctors do their job.
Don't risk yourself while this is settled.

So I should lock myself in my room while
Amanda accuses me of attempted m*rder?

I didn't say that.

Why don't you go to the aquarium
for the weekend and try to relax?

-I'm sure Cristobal would love--
-Cristobal left.

[Jhony] Alicia, this isn't a good idea.
We shouldn't be here.

[Alicia] You're such a coward.

Carmen taught me,
if the circle moves sideways, we're fine.

When it moves in circles,
we're going the wrong way.

So is it going in circles or sideways?

I don't understand what it's doing either.

We have to put some more
of Kobo's essence on it.

Look! It's turning that way!

I think what it's saying
is we should get out of here.

This neighborhood isn't safe.
I don't think Kobo is here.

But Kobo could be here precisely
because it's a bad neighborhood.

-No, he probably went to the beach--
-Trust me.

Carmen already taught me this.

Put that away and we'll find him
the normal way.

No, no, according to the pendulum,
we're already close.

[tapping loudly]

What's up, guys?
Start giving me everything you've got.

-Cellphones, bags, everything.
-No, anything but my phone.

-No one's negotiating, sweetie.
-[man] Give me everything.

[chanting]

-What are you doing, Alicia?
-Shh.

[Alicia continues chanting]

What's with her?

Don't pay attention,
she thinks she's a witch.

-Help us, they're robbing us! [screams]
-Shut up, princess.

Move it, pretty boy. Or we'll cut you.

Let her go or I'll cut you in half.

[all grunting]

[panting]

[groans]

I don't have time for you.

[man] Let's go! Hurry!

[Kobo] A life for a life. We are even now.

[Jhony] Kobo, no.

-Where's my amulet?
-Kobo--

Shut up, you're a dead man!

[Jhony] Calm down, Kobo. In this century,

hurting a woman is called femicide.

Obviously, it was bad during your century,

but calm down,
the amulet is at her house.

Let's go.

I don't have the amulet. I burnt it.

-What?
-Why do you always say the truth, Alicia?

-You have to die.
-Kobo.

No, wait.

-Jhony Ki and I have a witch friend.
-Yes.

She could make an amulet
better than the one you had.

That's true.

But if we give it to you,
you'll go back to your century.

No way, Alicia, not until I know
what happened to Miguel wasn't my fault.

-I'd rather not do any magic.
-What happened to Miguel?

He's in the hospital.

And apparently because of something
I gave him. For now, no more magic.

Are you're retiring from magic, Carmen?

I can't leave nor retire from magic.

But I need to be mindful of whom I help.

-Do you still want to be my apprentice?
-Absolutely! There's no one better.

Besides, that was a mistake,
it could've happened to anyone.

But for now, you could help me
make an amulet. I'll do all the work.

I'll find some simple charms to help you.

But help me with something urgent.

Saving Miguel.

Of course, Miguel.

[Carmen's voice]
To do this kind of healing,

we don't just use herbs.
We also use animals.

To help and cure diseases.

What's that, Carmen?

It's a type of worm that cleans out
infections and poison from people.

Everything bad in Miguel's body.

I can't, Carmen. I'll vomit.

They can't see me at the hospital.

-You have to do it.
-Me?

Fine.

I think...

If this is what's needed to be a witch,

I'll do it. You can count on me.

[phone tapping]

[phone buzzes]

[phone ringing]

I thought that was for tomorrow.

I don't know if I can go.
Not after what happened to Miguel.

I don't know. I'll call you later...

[medical device beeping]

[sighs]

[murmurs]

[Alicia chanting]

-Security! Security!
-No, it's not what it seems!

-Look at her, she's trying to k*ll him!
-No, let me explain, please!

-Let me explain, Amanda!
-Let's get out.

-She already tried once to k*ll him!
-I wasn't doing anything, I was helping!

-[Amanda] She tried to k*ll my boyfriend!
-[Alicia] I was just helping!

Let me go, I can walk out on my own.
I know the way out.

-[siren wailing]
-They caught me.

She's the woman
that tried to k*ll my boyfriend!

And in the company of her friend,
she's trying to finish the job!

That's a lie. We came to cure him.

Don't try to convince me.

Talk to the police,
see if they believe you.

Get her out, please.
And be careful with these two.

-[guard] Let's go.
-I know the way out.

I feel ridiculous
with these tight clothes.

-[pop music playing in distance]
-That's how we dress now.

You can always dress as a pirate
and stay at home.

No one will lock me up again.

I want to learn more about this world.

[Kobo] What type of boats are those?

I really don't know much
about seafaring, to be honest.

But I could ask them.

-They probably know.
-[pop music continues]

Jhony, those girls are naked.

Is that allowed in this century?

Luckily, yes.

Your world is so boring,
you can only see their ankles, right?

According to the Google god,
it's a motor yacht.

It has a person capacity.

And on average, it can go
from to knots.

Depending on sailing conditions.

-Did you say knots?
-That's what it says.

But like I told you,
I don't know about seafaring.

I want that boat.

Get it for me,
and I'll give you one of those women.

Wow, I feel honored when you say
you'll give me a woman.

[scoffs]

Like I said, you can't go around
stealing boats in this era.

Don't you know how many islands
I could rob in one day?

All the riches I'd have. I'd own
the ocean. No one could defeat me.

And you could also get
your hidden treasures. There's more.

-Right? There's more?
-There's another one, yes.

In your hidden map?

How do you know about that?

No, nothing, I mean.

It's just obvious people as smart as you

would have their maps hidden
so no one can steal them, right?

Of course.

See?

And, did you guys had only one map?
Or did you have other copies--?

You're making me nervous
with so many questions.

Why do you want to know?

Oh, it's for some homework
I got in school.

Since I know a real pirate,
I decided to do an essay about pirates.

-In case you don't know, an essay is--
-[unsheathes blade]

Did you steal my maps, Jhony?

Steal? Me?

I'm not the type of person that makes
the same mistake twice. I learn from it.

And move on.

-Kobo, I don't have anything!
-Where are my maps?

-Keep--
-I don't believe you!

-Where are my maps?
-Keep looking if you want,

but leave everything in order
when you're done! Stop it!

You're ruining my house, Kobo!

-Kobo, don't throw that!
-Where are my maps?

-Stop it already!
-Where are my maps?

Are pirates deaf or something?
Stop that, stop it!

Stop it! You're a good pirate,
not a bad one!

Come on, you won't find anything.

You don't trust me at all.
I thought we were best friends.

I'm your friend, but it's better
to be suspicious than robbed.

Fine, let's go then.

For my amulet?

It's not ready yet, but I don't know,

maybe we can get something to eat.

Let's take a walk. And for your own good,
you better not have the maps.

Go ahead.

[Kobo] You first.

That's why I'm here. My only objective
is to ask you not to trust Carmen.

Please, keep signing our petition
to ask the authorities

to ban any type of practice

that ruins our reputation
and that of every other biologist.

She's gathering signatures
to get you expelled.

We weren't doing witchcraft.

We were using Mother Nature's wisdom
to help Miguel.

Those worms are used for healing.

-I know.
-That's why.

If the doctors couldn't help Miguel,
I had to try something.

-Especially if it could be my fault.
-The doctors did help.

After the worm scandal, they gave him
another treatment. Miguel is much better.

It was the worms.

I know you have good intentions.

But not everyone agrees with me.

You need to help yourself before
things at the university get worse.

When I accepted being a witch,
I didn't think I'd have so many problems.

I just wanted to be known,
so if there's a witch like me,

she'd know she wasn't alone.

You're not alone.

[bell tolling]

[Alicia] Carmen was going to teach me
how to do a summoning

-to return Kobo his amulet.
-And?

She hasn't taught me yet,
but what matters is I found out

-that it's about the heart's intention.
-And how does that help us?

What are we going to do now?

Keep this guy entertained?

"We?" You'll do it, not me, Jhony Ki.

Why not? This problem was your fault.

I mean, also mine, but just a little.

Still, you're not leaving me on my own.

Do you think Carmen would like
to hear what you did?

Your career as a witch apprentice
would be over.

Are you really stooping so low
as to blackmail me?

I learned that from the pirates.
So no one is letting this go.

Not until we fix it.
And I have some great news.

-Yes?
-He got tired of staying at the hostel.

So he's going to stay with you.
Good luck. Kobo!

-See you later.
-Jhony Ki, no. Jhony Ki?

Let's go.

This place is for two people?

Think about it. If we organize
ourselves,

we'd all fit here. We could have
some sort of...

Housewarming party?

-Baby, I don't think that's a good idea.
-No?

-Not until Carmen's thing gets solved.
-Carmen's?

-What happened now?
-She's having problems at the university.

Amanda and her friends collected
signatures to get her kicked out.

-Terrible.
-That's Miguel's fault, and his group's.

-Those people can't be trusted.
-But those people are not that bad,

the only one with a problem,
who is crazy and is jealous of Carmen

-is Amanda, right?
-I guess.

Okay, guys, I'm out.
I didn't get what I wanted from you two.

I'll leave you alone
so you can use that super firm sofa.

I'll text you later, bro.

I'll take that down now.

With the money they gave us in advance,
we'll get the ingredients.

You're meeting with them?

Of course.
We're going to show them the product.

It's going to be a hit.

We'll be rich and famous.

What else is there in life?

And Mayte won't find out?

[exhales]

Welcome. Next time,
we're taking the elevator.

I never imagined pirates
where such cowards.

I'm never getting in that thing.

Are you sure this won't fall?

I'm sure.

Really sure.

You can see all of Cartagena from there.

-All this is Cartagena?
-Yes.

-I'd love to have my spyglass.
-Your what?

I have something better than that.

[Kobo] I didn't know you liked looking
at the stars.

I like seeing other people's lives.

I'm somewhat of a voyeur.

Like a Peeping Tom.
That's something no one knows about me.

I don't know why I'm telling you.

-And your dad lets you?
-I live alone.

-Alone?
-Yes.

But if you're planning on hurting me,
I have a panic button.

The police would be up here right away.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I need a new amulet, and you're
helping me with that, right?

And I want to know more things
about this world.

So you're useful to me.

I can't say the same about you.

But I can help you with some
updating classes.

For example, during this era,
everyone takes a shower every day.

Let me show you.

[shower running]

I imagine you like cold water?

-It runs hot water too?
-Of course, Kobo, this is .

You can dry yourself with this towel,

and the soap and shampoo
are in this drawer.

Hey, Kobo! What are you doing?
Don't get naked in front of me!

[pop music echoing faintly]

This thing is amazing!

Tomás!

I told you this is awesome...

Hey, guys! Where are you going?

Some place you can't go, sweetie. Bye!

-But I want to go with you guys, please?
-Bye.

Cheers.

Yes, Kobo, women nowadays also drink.

[upbeat music playing softly]

Men of this era also serve themselves.

That's why they have two hands.

Hey!

I don't want you getting drunk here.

I don't want you cutting my neck
or eating my heart raw.

Who told you?

So it's true?

Ah.

Of course not! [laughing]

All pirates make up stories
to scare their enemies.

Fear is the best tool to get respect.

So you're not a m*rder*r?

I know how to read palms,
if you lie to me I'll know.

Well then.

What does my hand say?

It says...

You smell better after a shower.

And that you're wearing women's shampoo.

And that you're wearing women's perfume.

And that we should go to bed now.

This is your bed.

I know it's not the best,
but you'll be comfortable.

The cushions are there.

I'm taking this.
See you tomorrow, Kobo.

[upbeat music continues]

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

Put it on.

[squeals]

There. Hello, hello!

Just like we promised,
we're going to do the sex challenge.

[laughs]

We're going to make love the whole night
at the cemetery.

[Tomás] No matter what happens.

We're not stopping
until we get all the likes.

[woman] You'll like this video.

Let's take another picture here.

-[Tomás] I also want to record.
-[woman] Yes, babe.

There. There you go, girls.

[laughing]

Come.

[man] Welcome to Mr. Hyde.

[woman] We're about to do
the Cold Blood challenge.

Using the poison of the bi-colored frog
better known as the Kambo frog.

And you'll see what it does
to the body in a horrible way.

-[man] What's going on with him?
-[woman] This isn't real.

-It's not real!
-[Amanda] Hello? We have an emergency.

At the lab in Litoral University.

-What are you doing here?
-I knew you were being released,

so I wanted to see you before you left
and tell you I know what happened.

Oh, really? And what was that?

You were intoxicated with frog venom
from doing the Cold Blood Challenge.

What are you talking about?

I think dr*gs fried your brain.
Thank you for your visit.

Don't even tell me this is a fake,
because it's not.

-[man] Look what's happening to him.
-[Amanda] What's happening?

Where did you get this?

[laughs]

Relax, breathe.
I don't want you to get sick again.

I have a proposal.

-A proposal?
-Yes.

-Tell me.
-I won't say a word about the video.

In exchange, you'll get me accepted
in Mr. Hyde's group challenges.

[laughs]

I can't get you in.

People only get invited anonymously.

-And I don't know who leads the group.
-But you have influential friends.

They can get me in. If you don't, Miguel,

unfortunately, I will have to tell
the whole world about it.

That you and your friends got into the lab
to do the Cold Blood challenge.

I told you,
I don't know who leads the group.

I don't care.

The word is powerful.

Through it, I ask the four elements
to protect this amulet...

And everyone that wears it
near their heart.

Earth.

Fire.

Water.

Air.

Here, you can give it to Kobo.

That easy?

It only seems easy.

But the summoning
and the word's power,

that's the hard part.

-And what if it doesn't work?
-Jhony Ki, stop asking questions, take it.

These are one hundred and fifty
signatures from students.

Demanding the prohibition of any type
of witchcraft.

Or any practice considered pseudoscience.
We also want Carmen to be punished.

As proof, we present what happened
to our friend Miguel Gutiérrez.

Before I make any decision,
I'd like Miguel to tell us,

what was he doing at the botanic garden
at night?

Yes, let's clear things out.

To be honest, I missed a lab class.

I can't fail that class,

-so I went in to do the project by myself.
-And then what?

You have to ask?

That ointment Carmen gave him,
in his moment of desperation--

No, that's not what happened.
It wasn't Carmen's oil.

You weren't even there. It wasn't Carmen.

When I was at the lab,
I saw the Kambo frog.

I heard about its aphrodisiac effect.

So I... I decided to try it.
And that's what happened.

I knew it wasn't my oil.

-But you put on that oil too, right?
-Yes, but it was the frog's toxins.

Got it?

Regardless, people already signed.

And it means that all the students
are tired of Carmen's witchcraft.

[clears throat] Miguel, this will go
on your disciplinary file.

And Carmen,
while we continue evaluating this,

I'm going to have to ask you,
no more witchcraft in the university.

[TV chattering]

Hey, hey!

It's me, calm down.

-As if you hadn't--
-I want to meet those pirates.

-Those pirates?
-How was it over there?

I'll tell you later. But first,

here's what I promised.

Now let's go to the portal.

That doesn't look like my amulet.

No, it's not your amulet,

but I got a new one, and this amulet
is a lot more powerful than the other one.

Why? Because I met a young witch.

She's more in contact with nature,
she's more promising than Carmen.

The witch.

Here you go. We're even.

You can go back to your own time.

Thanks, but I'm not going back.

What?

How so? You promised you would.

Since when do you believe
in the word of a pirate, Jhony Ki?

There are more things in this world.
Touch this.

It's like an animal.

How could you be so stupid
and help Carmen?

Calm down, please.

First of all, I didn't know
you had that little show prepared.

Besides, I saved all of us and prevented
people from knowing about Mr. Hyde.

Daniel, the friend of the witch, found
the videos of the Cold Blood Challenge.

-How did he find them?
-I don't know how.

But if I didn't help Carmen,
that guy would rat us out.

And that's not all.

He also wants to get into Mr. Hyde.

What? What did you tell him?

That we have nothing to do
with that group.

That we don't know
who's the administrator,

that we are just participants. That's all.

I can't believe that guy is onto us.

Calm down, honey. That man's an idiot.

But we can't risk him giving us away.

What do you think?

We need to find a way to use him.

Hello?

[man] Welcome.

-Where did you get that?
-[Carmen] At an antique market.

We have to find out why no one
believes in my magic.

[exhales]

Carmen, your powers are in danger.
