Original subtitles

Mr. Davis said it's Buffy and Jody.

Well, what happened? Where are they?

We don't know.

We think that they're lost.

You think they're lost?

Well, sir, in San Juan, we had to change buses.

Buffy forgot Mrs. Beasley, and whilst I went back to get her, the bus carried

them off to Sigis.

Well, couldn't you follow the bus?

I tried, sir, but it was impossible. I managed to contact the depot in Sieges,

and we know they arrived there, sir, because they forgot those on the bus.

Well, they still must be around Sieges somewhere.

No, sir, they made a thorough search. The children simply vanished.

When did the bus get there?

About one o 'clock, sir.

One o 'clock? You mean they've been missing for nine hours?

The worst nine hours of my life, sir.

You notified the police?

Yes, sir, insidious.

They're doing everything they can, sir, but I phoned again ten minutes ago.

Nothing, nothing, sir.

I'm terribly sorry, sir.

You'd better call the Barcelona police, then. Oh, Jill, please, let me. Yeah,

you better.

I can't walk any further, Jody.

I'm hungry and tired and thirsty.

And lost.

Let's see what that place over there is.

It looks like a barn.

I saw one in our geography book back home.

I wish I was there instead of here. Back home, I mean.

Let's see where here is.

Jody, what if Uncle Bill never does find us?

He'll find us.

Do you think it's all right to swipe vegetables?

No, but we can ask Uncle Bill to send him some money.

That would be nice.

I never thought I'd like raw string beans.

They're very good.

Jody, what if they catch us before Uncle Bill finds us?

They'll throw us in jail, and Uncle Bill will never find us.

Here he comes again.

Phew, that was close.

Señor Davis, the captain cannot see you now. He's very busy.

I'll wait.

There's no reason for you to wait.

There was no reason for you to leave Barcelona.

Look, I just want to make sure everything's being done. My kids have

for two days.

Señor, a general alarm has been circulated.

The Guardia Civil is cooperating.

We are policemen.

We are not workers of miracles.

There are too few of us.

You have one concern, your children.

We have 40.

Robberies, assaults, a murder, another missing person.

We do the best we can.

Yeah, I'm sure you do.

We could do something.

Sitting around drives me out of my mind.

This is so difficult for all of you.

to head through that wall.

Jody, do you think that lady's a witch like in Hansel and Gretel?

Mr. French says there aren't any witches.

Well, she sure looks mean.

Yeah. What are we going to do?

Hansel and Gretel ate berries when they were lost.

Do you think they have berries in Spain?

We could go look in the woods.

We just can't hide here the rest of our lives.

Who are they?

He's showing them something.

No.

Digan la verdad.

Es la verdad.

Si, la verdad.

Si no creen, ustedes pueden buscarlos.

Carlos, tengo miedo.

¿Miedo? ¿Por qué?

Hemos dicho la verdad.

No hemos visto a los niños.

Very good I don't think these people like us being here That's what I don't

think too

kind of soup do you think this is?

Good soup.

Buffy Davis.

And this is my brother Jody Davis.

We got on the bus and now we're lost.

And we'd appreciate it very much if you'd help us find our Uncle Bill.

Lo siento, niño.

Pero no he entendido nada.

Mira, vamos para allá.

I don't know. I don't even understand what he's pulling.

Vayan con Dios, niños.

Dodie, I think he just wants us to leave.

Ustedes tienen que irse.

He sure doesn't want us to stay here.

But where?

Tienen que irse, niños.

Carlos,

mira. Los pobrecitos tienen miedo.

La guardia civil.

Son tan pequeños.

Está bien, mujer, está bien.

¡Niños!

Sissy, Senorita Vicente, Senor Davis, Senor French, my father, Senor Torres y

Fierro. We have come to help.

Torres y Fierro?

You said your name was Guia.

Ricardo has a confession and an apology.

Guia is the Spanish word for guide.

I am Ricardo Torres y Fierro.

Wait a minute. Excuse me. Aren't you the...

Special envoy to the United States?

Yes. I will go to Washington in a few months.

Why the masquerade?

In a few months, I will be going to your country with my father.

It was my wish to meet some American people who did not know I was the son of

Francisco Torres y Fierro.

He meant no harm.

But what is important is the fate of the children.

Is there any word?

No.

Search goes on, I suppose.

You suppose?

Well, I don't know. The captain says he's too busy to see me.

Too busy?

Señor Davis, please come with me.

Yes?

Francisco Torres y Pierro, a ver al capitán. Señor Torres.

Of course.

Inmediatamente.

El señor Torres y Pierro.

Caramba. Señor, qué honor.

The formalities can wait, Capitán.

I wish a detailed report of what is being done to find the children of Señor

Davis. Señor Davis, I am terribly sorry. I did not know

that you were waiting.

I also wish to speak to Maldonado, the guardia civil.

And perhaps the army will be alerted.

The police and the Guardia Civil have placed every available man under search.

Questioned hundreds of farmers and villagers.

They will go back and check every area.

It's just as if the children had vanished off the face of the earth.

Yeah, they seem to have stepped off that bus right into thin air.

Senor Davis, I regret I must return to Barcelona.

But I will keep advised by telephone.

We appreciate all you've done, sir. Thank you. Try to do. I have done

Ricardo, you will return with me.

Father, I would like to stay to help.

If it is permitted, senor.

Sure.

I wish I'd never heard of Spain or Barcelona.

I wish we'd never left New York.

I'm so sorry that Buffy and Jody are lost and that you are unhappy.

But I am not sorry you came to Barcelona.

Perhaps it is selfish.

I'm sorry.

I'm so tired.

Time's running out.

until he comes back.

Carlos, ¿qué hacemos?

Most employers would have dismissed me on the spot.

Why? Because the kids got lost?

They were in my charge, sir.

It could happen to me too, or Sissy, or anybody.

Any place.

To be sure, sir.

I brought you fish and chips.

Please, you must eat.

Making yourself ill will not help the children.

It could be.

Thank you, anyway.

We have a saying here.

Los duelos con pan son menos.

Sorrows are easier with bread.

Where do you think they could be, Anna?

I do not know. On some remote farm.

The Guardia Civil has been going from farm to farm to farm.

The Guardia Civil is very thorough.

But in these country places, they are feared.

Why would anybody be afraid to tell the Guardia Civil that they've seen the

kids?

I do not know.

You will go mad to sit here and wait.

We could follow the route of the bus.

Okay, that's a pretty long shot, but at least we'd be doing something.

French, you and Sissy stay here till you hear from me. Very well.

Tal vez el padre.

No, no, no, mujer, no.

¿Pudimos confiar en él?

No podemos confiar en nadie.

Follow me. Follow me.

Well, none of the others have seen him.

One must not lose hope.

Looks like everybody's asleep around here.

Well, country police are often awakened.

Don't worry.

The baptistry should be through there, and the main church through here.

Buenas noches. Buenas noches.

Dispensenos. Es muy tarde, pero buscamos a dos niños que están perdidos. Son

americanos. ¿Los ha visto usted, por favor?

No. No los he visto. Lo siento.

Muchas gracias.

Con su permiso.

Hola, muchachitos.

Are you two all right?

We are now, Uncle Bill. How did we get here?

I don't know how we got anywhere.

Well, we did get a little bit lost.

But we knew that you would find us.

You did, huh?

Only what took you so long? Yeah.

It is good to be home, sir. Right.

Oh, this Atwater returned your calls, and there was also calls from Miss Ellis

and Miss Logan.

Okay.

Uncle Bill!

Hi, kids.

How was the first day back in school?

Great. They asked me to tell my experiences to the Spanish classes.

Jody and I have to write about what we learned in Spain.

I learned not to get on a bus ahead of Mr.

French. And I learned how to wash clothes.

Without a washing machine.

And Miss Cummings asked us to write about how the people were different.

You think they were different?

They talked different.

But that's all.

They were just people like everybody else.

Well, I guess we all learned a lot.

Dinner is served.

By popular demand, we're having churros and hot chocolate.

All right. Come on.

Let's do two.
