Original subtitles

Please help me! Please!

Sebe.

Go for your sister.

There's too much light.

Go for your sister, god damn it! What are you doing here?

I promise I won't tell anybody.

The problem with our country is the people. This country is full of tired people.

Tired of having to survive under a government who kicks them on the face.

That turns us into primitives.

What time are you free today?

Early, but I'm picking up the car at my sister's house.

Be careful.

I don't like you being alone.

And less, alone at your sister's house.

Don't worry, Dad.

Seriously, don't worry; everything's going to be ok.

Are you taking a cab?

Yes, I think so.

Sweetie, I love you, but can't you grab your pants and put them with the dirty laundry?

Yes, sorry, it won't happen again.

Baby.

I don't like it when you lend your car.

It's my sister.

Gorgeous.

What do you think if we go out for dinner tonight?

Tonight?

Yes, I can pick you up if you want to.

I'm a bit busy today.

Let's go, even if it is just for a while. It will help you relax.

I'll tell you later, ok?

Yes, it's ok.

Hey, don't you think you're going to be late?

Yes, yes, yes, ok, I'm leaving.

We were so drunk... A guy was filling up a girl.

While another one was sticking some ice cubes under her dress,

and then the other guy decides to tell us a joke. He said...

"What happens if a woman swallows a mosquito?"

I don't know.

She has more brains in the stomach that in the head.

I'm going to the car, I won't be long.

Go.

Did you have a rough day?

Excuse me?

It must be tiring to carry all that weight on your shoulders, isn't it?

You cannot solve everything.

I see you walking through the hallways, carrying your cups of coffee.

Laughing about jokes you read online.

Meanwhile, there's people disappearing and getting killed every day.

Misses Urtaza...

You remember my name...

Do you remember my daughter's name?

I came to tell you that we found her.

Her body was outside the municipal waste...

without a head.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, you're sorry.

Her name was Diana.

We named her that way because she was blonde, like the princess.

They couldn't find her head.

I won't take more of your time. Return to your coworkers.

Enjoy your amazing job.

What are you looking at?

Her.

How many did you sell?

About 20 pesos.

We need more.

I know, but now we're only three, and he doesn't bring much to the house.

You know how he'll react if we don't bring more money.

Well, we could bring him something else to make him happy.

Oh! No, no, no, please!

Shit... Mariana!

-Is it right? -Um-hmm.

Done.

How much is it?

200 for the phone recharge and 10 for the water.

Ok.

I'm so stupid! I forgot to take out money.

The thing is that my car stopped working, but I'm going right now to fix it.

I'll take out money, and I'll come back and pay you. Is that ok?

Really.

Ok. But don't be long.

No, thanks a lot!

Hi.

Hi.

What happen to your car?

I don't know, it heated up and now it won't start.

Ah.

Well, my dad is a mechanic, he can make it start.

Yeah, but the thing is that I don't have cash with me.

Oh, don't worry! You can go later to the ATM and pay him.

I don't know...

Unless you've already called someone, it's fine anyway.

You know what? Yes. Please call your dad.

Yes, we just need to go to my house first. He is there anyway, I live next door.

And... the car?

Do you see that guy over there?

-Yeah. -He is my brother.

We can leave him the keys and he will push the car all the way to the house.

Ok.

Ok, let's go.

You can sit; I'll get my dad.

Are you ok?

Sandra?

Ay! Sebe, I'm sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to.

If you didn't mean to, you wouldn't have done it.

I'm sorry.

Can I see?

Sit, let me see what happened.

Don't be a cry baby, you're ok.

Well, it hurts.

Yes, I know, but stop whining.

What happened?

It hurt when you blew.

Is it ruined?

No, but I don't want it to burn.

I want it to be ready when he arrives.

He said he wanted to have dinner early.

He's going out.

Where?

What are you doing?

You have to put ice on it, otherwise it's going to swell and it will hurt all night long.

How does it go?

With my hands, I turn your skin into clay.

I mold it until it becomes something new.

That makes your clay into mine.

That's what the book says.

That's what the book says.

Are you going out, Dad?

The city ranks among the top 5 places with more gender homicides.

In the first three years, female homicides have tripled from 58.

in 2009 to 150 in 2015.

What's the son's first obligation at home?

Dad...

What's the son's first obligation at home?

To be the model of the clay that is his father.

To obey his mother.

and do her will, whatever it is.

To be mirror of both, and only after, become better than them.

Are we taking the car tomorrow to the usual place?

Your sister and I are going.

You're staying.

Aha...

Yes, I understand.

-Mendoza... -Yes... Aha.

What was the name of the blondie?

I've already told you there's nothing we can do now.

When we have gathered more information, we will get in touch with you.

Have a nice day.

What happened?

What was the name of the blonde? The girl...

Alba... Quijano.

-Ok. -Why?

There's a local guy who claims he saw her on a security videotape.

Did you talk to him? Do they have the tape?

I'm going over there right now.

Let's go, it's the first thing we've had in months!

Maybe we'll find something that's not inside a trash bag.

Today is Monday, almost 9 am.

I'm guessing you want to keep resting.

Honestly, there isn't much to do.

I'm taking off the tape so you'll be able to eat.

As you show us your fidelity, we will give you liberties.

Don't worry, he is not here.

You might have until noon to rest.

My name is Sebe.

It's not short for anything. Just like that, S-E-B-E.

My sisters' name is Ines.

Please let me go.

I'm really sorry it had to be you.

But I can see why.

It means you're special. You're not just dust.

Please let me go, I won't tell anybody where I am.

I would love to help you; but he wouldn't forgive me.

Does he have you imprisoned here as well?

-He's my father. -Your father?

Next meal isn't until dinner.

Please accept what we're offering you.

You have to be grateful.

What happened partner? Did you get paid with merchandise again?

That's the way people are. What do you think? Will it be possible?

But this time I'll give you 10% off.

Partner, you're giving me less and less every day.

Well, we are getting new policeman every day.

What are you meditating about?

I was looking at those cars...

Those cars.

That once somebody loved...

They were very important for somebody.

Back then.

Ah, partner! You're being very poetic today, what's wrong?

The day is coming, partner.

Don't take it the wrong way.

But don't you think it's time for you to stop being depressed?

I'm not depressed.

Look, partner, it hurt us all and you more than anyone, really...

What do you know about pain?

Stop talking shit.

Shut up, you sound like you're on drugs partner.

I've heard you've been reading bullshit and wasting your time.

For you it's a waste of time.

Because you don't know.

You don't know shit.

Partner, we only know about cars.

Sandra.

Sandra.

Sandra.

Do you like it?

This time I won't fail.

I promise.

Hey!

-Sorry. -I told you to knock before you come in.

I said I was sorry.

Hey!

I just came to ask how much you got for the car?

Not as much as last time.

Did he get mad?

I don't think so. He didn't talk on the way back home.

And did you get mad?

Well...

Shh... shh...

What are you doing?

Did you have breakfast?

It's rude not to answer when you're being asked.

I don't know what you want from me.

Money? I have some money saved.

If you want it I can give it to you, but please, let me go!

There once was a pure woman who decided to take a walk on the field.

There's no need for you to lock me up in here.

The Maiden, young and beautiful as she was, did not fear for her life because she was pure.

And because she trusted, she would be protected by her chastity from all injustice.

We could come to an arrangement.

At the top of the last mountain the maiden.

Had to cross during her journey.

She found...

a beast.

It was a being

created by all the wickedness and evil in the world

who did not hesitate to want to hurt the maid.

Please let me go!

Please!

How long has she been missing?

Two days, and she hasn't called.

Has it happened before?

Three times.

How long was she leaving for?

One day.

But she always leaves a letter and this time she didn't.

I think she was kidnapped.

But you say she had her suitcase?

Yes, with her stuff.

Look...

I have seven real missing women.

Yours doesn't seem like something serious.

I've seen it a bunch of times.

Do you realize what you're saying?

Give her time to communicate, she will show up.

And somehow now I'm a dumbass.

I don't even know why I came to this place if I already knew you wouldn't help.

Are you hungry?

What are you going to do to me?

I'm the one asking the questions.

Do you believe in God?

Why does that matter?

No, I don't believe in him.

See? We have something in common.

Only that.

I used to believe in him...

fervently.

I went to church,

I followed his creed.

But one day,

he took away from me the thing I loved the most.

Since then, we are enemies.

You said you didn't believe in God.

I said I didn't believe in him, not that he doesn't exist.

Would you like to see what's behind?

Have you ever seen what is behind the shadows?

Now you will!

Who are you?

Please don't shout,

otherwise will have to return you to the basement.

It's better here, don't you think?

Last night we got to know each other very well.

Now we know who we are one another.

We're building a room,

and you have to help Sebe.

You have to be useful.

And maybe,

you'll even win dinner.

I'm going to change

to go to the junkyard and bring some cars.

But at the slightest signal...

the slightest sound you make...

And I will leave you in a wheelchair.

It looks like her, but it's not.

Fuck!

Another dead end.

Well, let's go out for a drink.

Wait, zoom in on that girl.

Shit!

Let's get drunk.

Are you coming or what?

We have seven missing women.

We need to work.

Didn't you say that the girl ran out on the guy?

We need to solve something, even if it's insignificant.

Are you coming?

My shift ends in ten minutes.

See you later.

Is it really your dad?

Yes.

Your mom must be beautiful.

Just like you.

You don't look like him at all. Believe me!

I have my mom's hair.

My father and I don't look alike.

Where is your mom?

My mom?

She died...

recently.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Mario was different when she was alive.

Less...

him.

Do you think he is doing all of this for her?

In some way.

It's ok, it's not heavy.

For me it is.

I'm sorry.

He brought you here, right?

To work...

No.

I don't know.

I've thought about it before.

But ever since I can remember, he's been my father.

Why don't you leave?

Why haven't you?

He has more control over me than I would have thought.

Well, I'm not as smart as you.

Or as strong as Marno.

But he has you locked up here and alone.

Don't you think it's worth trying?

See what else is out there.

I'm not alone, Ines is with me.

Is that what you were doing?

Seeing the world?

Ines? Did you say she's your sister?

I guess...

Even if she wasn't.

Yes, she is my sister.

If I hadn't known you, I would have forgotten completely about you.

What where you doing the other day when your car stopped working?

I went to pick up my car at my sisters' house.

There are people I care about.

I read your diary.

You had a baby.

We had one.

He was with us only for a few months.

He was born very weak.

And where is the father?

We split up.

Wouldn't you like to be a mother again?

Even if I wanted to, it's impossible.

Everything got destroyed during labor.

We should hurry up.

If we do not finish, Marno will send you to the basement again.

Excuse me.

Have you seen this woman?

Dude, are you crazy?

No... A lot of people come in every day.

Do you really think I would remember every single one of them?

Why? Does she owe you money?

No.

I'm just looking for her. Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's her!

So, you do know her.

Yes, I remember now.

She came in last week. She didn't have cash.

So she went to the ATM to get some. And her car didn't work.

Later on, "El Sebe" took it so he could fix it.

Who?

"El Sebe".

The mechanic's son.

He lives nearby, right around the corner.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Ines.

Would you like to recite something from the book?

I believe Sebes' voice will result pleasanter to our guest.

Do you want to recite something?

Yes.

Once, a man got trapped in his own home because of a flood

and he didn't have any supplies.

His kids were hungry and his wife was sick.

He knew that if he didn't do anything, his wife would die.

The youngest of his children.

Begged his father to climb the highest tree of the hill.

So he could grab some fruit and bring food to the table.

But the man refused to do it.

He was afraid of falling.

Instead, he covered every corner of the house

with wax and cement.

In a circular room,

he invoked the ancient ones

calling them by their original names:

Ashtet.

Yohot.

Thur.

And Nham.

But no one came.

Desperate.

The man finally decided to climb the top of the tree and get some fruit.

But at that precise moment,

lightning struck his arm.

After the storm,

the water went away.

His wife got better.

His children received food and care

from the people of the town.

They never saw him again.

They say he didn't die and he'll never will.

He was honored by his bravery.

Even when he wasn't able to help his family.

That's what the book says.

That's what the book says.

Ok...

Do you have a problem with the story?

No, I was just surprised.

Aren't you able to understand the lesson?

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.

Resignation and humility, that's the lesson.

Aren't you be able to understand anything when destiny has mistreated you?

It's a story.

Just because there's some sort of logic in it, it doesn't mean it is true.

It seems like somebody is missing another modesty lesson.

I'm just saying that we should take the best of every story as long as they're good.

The rest, we can throw it away.

You have to be more careful if you want to still be treated with respect.

I believe I have shown more respect to you, than you have to me, Marno.

Just another word...

You don't want to test me.

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'm Detective Mendoza, from female homicide unit.

What can I do for you?

We are looking for a missing young woman, more than one actually.

They tell me your kids work at the plaza selling fries.

Yes. Well, sometimes they set up in front of the temple.

-Could I talk to them? -

They went to bed early today.

-What a shame. -Yes.

Why don't you look at this pictures?

Maybe you can recognize somebody.

No.

No.

No.

I have another one here.

I'm sorry, no.

Well, I'm sorry to bother you. Thank you very much.

Would you like to come in for a glass of water?

I would appreciate it.

Please.

Have a seat, detective.

I'll get your glass of water.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So tell me,

what do you do for a living?

I'm a mechanic.

I take cars that are a lost cause, and I fix them.

I see.

Yes.

It's a sort of alchemy.

I'm not familiar with the term.

You know? People don't get it.

Vessels can break.

They have no remedy.

This is where I come in.

My transmission stopped working once.

It was going to be very expensive to fix.

They found the part for half price in a junkyard.

Exactly.

That's what I do. That is the service that I offer.

Very useful.

Yes, but then again, people don't understand.

I want to take this to another level.

Another level?

Yes.

The soul.

I don't understand.

I think your kids are awake.

Maybe I can ask them some questions.

Clean up.

I'm sorry about this.

Are you ok? You haven't eaten.

I know it's not much,

but it will help for you to hang in there until tomorrow.

I'm sorry you have to drink from there.

Do you need...

Do you need me to change it?

I'm fine. I went to the house.

I don't understand.

I don't understand why he's doing this.

If I knew he was going to kill me...

No, don't say that.

He doesn't want to hurt you.

Then what does he want?

I've decided I want to help you to continue seeing the world.

You're very nice, Sebe.

But you should see it too.

No one who doesn't live under his own roof

should be deprived of watching the stars.

Thanks.

He did this to me.

You have your mother's eyes.

What the hell is this?

Fuck! This is a policeman's car.

No...

They brought it yesterday to me.

Marno, don't try to lie to me.

We go way back.

This is a police car.

So what? What's the problem?

You just have to rip it apart and problem solved.

No, not this time. I've never asked you where you get your cars from.

But there's a lot of shit about to hit the fan.

I can't tolerate this.

These things have GPS.

Ok, let's do something.

Don't give me anything, just keep it. Ok?

Nothing suspicious about that, right?

Look, Fer,

I need to get rid of this, and I have no time left.

Today is the day.

It's tonight.

No. I can't tolerate this.

Partner, are we family or not?

Family is here to help each other.

Ines!

Uncle Fer has a problem in the office.

Go help him!

Leave it over there.

Dad...

The children must follow the will of their parents.

They will always act correctly.

That's what the book says.

That's what the book says.

Have you find out anything about Sandra? Did you find her?

Have you heard from her?

Thank you.

We still don't know.

You still don't know?

Let's see, first you tell me I'm an idiot because I haven't accepted that she abandoned me.

And now you're saying you don't know where she is?

I really don't get it.

We still don't know if she is missing.

We have a clue.

A video of a business where she appears.

My partner went to look for her and he disappeared.

He disappeared?

Yes.

He went yesterday.

And we haven't seen him since.

And what do I have to do with all this?

I don't know.

I just thought I could ask you.

Look.

I don't know where Sandra is, I don't know where your partner is,

and frankly I'm sick and tired of all of this.

Sandra always does the same thing. She always leaves.

She always abandons me, and on top of that I have to look for her.

I understand, but this time I have to agree with you.

There's something not right.

If you hear anything, call me.

How's your dad, Sebe?

He's ok.

Well, maybe you can tell him to pay me what he owes me. He still owes me one month.

By the way, the other day I saw you pushing a car. I'm sure it's ripped apart by now.

We don't rip apart cars, asshole.

We will pay you soon, business is better now.

Excuse us.

I haven't seen you selling any churros.

We fix cars.

Yeah, right.

You better tell him to pay me what he owes me, or we are going to have a problem.

It was this and the candles, $170.

No, we need some trash bags.

Write it down.

It's the last time, Sebe.

How does Dad spend so much money?

Because of stupid things like this.

I've never asked you.

Do you really think all of this is possible?

We shouldn't question the book or him.

Do you think we will pay for this?

Don't talk like that.

What will happen if it works?

We will be together again.

I don't remember much about her.

You were very little.

She loved you very much.

-Dad... -What?

You would never hurt me and my brother, right?

No...

This will help you.

Thank you.

I'm glad you have earned more liberties.

Don't worry. I won't try anything.

Thanks, you know how he is.

What's today?

It's a special night.

What is so special about it?

The books says so.

The elements are given.

Sebe, I would like to ask you something.

Yes, tell me.

The day that I arrived, I saw a woman with a knife stuck in her neck.

She's from here.

From here?

Our actions always have consequences, I think.

Why do you always speak in metaphor?

Metaphor?

Forget it.

I'm going to change. Can you give me a little space?

Why do the soldiers close rows when the enemy attacks?

We are like the last regiment before the last battle.

Blood is life, and it is family.

If a family is not strong.

The man has no reason to get wet in the storm.

His children...

of course, are his will.

The children are the strength of the father for him to accomplish the impossible.

There's no family without children.

No life without flesh.

Yohot.

Son.

Todeth.

And since a father is fundamental, the family cannot be complete without a mother.

Without a wife.

Eat, my children.

My anchors, drink.

Tonight, any hunger, any desire will be satisfied.

Tonight, every shadow of hatred will disappear in this family.

With this dinner, the sister pays his debts to the brother he accuses.

The resentful son, pays the father. The girlfriend pays for her indomitable spirit.

You who have betrayed, drink.

You, who have hated your father,

forgive.

Sebe,

you are a man now.

One who takes what he wishes.

If you want it that way, do it!

Do it now before she is mine!

You can't leave like that.

Are you coming?

With you?

Leave me.

What happened in the house...

It's him.

Don't listen to him, look at me.

I know you and I aren't friends.

We would have never talked if it weren't because of Marno.

And today I'm grateful that you're here.

Sebe, please, you have to come with me.

When I tell you, you have to run.

Sebe, please come with me!

Don't stop for anything in the world. Tell everybody what happened!

I believe the moment has come.

Who are you?

Do you know how everything started?

Marno wasn't always like this.

There was a time when we were happy.

Until this came.

You will see what I see.

Everything that used to be luminous.

Everything that once shined.

Everything dies.

That, I know.

You are dead.

Only the vessel died.

But it wasn't the time.

How do you know it wasn't the time?

I don't want to.

I want to be with my children

and husband forever.

That cannot be done.

You will be the door...

who opens the way.

And I'm not asking your permission.

Today is the day.

It's the moment in which we shall change the vessel.

In front of the deep voice of Do, the waters of Yang change their course.

So it will happen with your essence.

Your flesh will be young.

Your skin will be new.

Your eyes will not see blemishes.

But you will be as old as fire.

You will transform into what you should have.

Into what you have always feared, into what only could have been.

This will be your only light.

Without haven't listening to it before, you will be able to recite the words of Yir

and draw the planes of the city of Gha without even looking.

And draw the planes of the city of Gha without even looking.

You are not moved by this power?

Do not worry,

this won't take long.

Now you.

Now you, feed her.

Give her your blood, and she shall be your mother and daughter at the same time.

You're so stupid!

You can't even bleed! Get out of here!

Fuck off!

Sebe...

please wake up.

Please.

When he hit you with the shovel I thought that...

He hit me once in the head

and once in the shoulder.

He might have had pity on me.

I'm alive because he let me be.

You're alive because you fought.

Help me.

We have to go to the hospital.

I don't know if this is the best way to start seeing the world.

In the end, it is the world.

What are you going to tell them?

I'm going to tell them the truth.

That a guy and his crazy daughter kidnapped us

and that we helped each other.

Ines was just as confused as me.

We were his children, there wasn't much we could do.

How are you feeling?

As if I got punched in the face.

I'm going to get my stuff and I will be right back.

I'll go start the car.

Hey.

Good morning.

By any chance have you seen this girl?

Yes, a few days ago we helped her with her car.

Her battery was low.

And by any chance do you know where she went?

She said she was going up north and that she wouldn't come back, or something like that.

How long ago was this?

Three or four days.

She looked desperate to leave.

Did she say why?

Why what?

Why she was leaving?

No.

-Thank you. -Anytime.

The car is ready.

I was waiting for you but you didn't come.

I had to come back for you.

To let you return is the same thing.

Nothing is that cannot come back to be from the shadows.

Mom?
