who sooner or later sacrifices himself to protect others.

And those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it forever.

Mom.

You have been appearing in my dreams over and over again.

What do you have to tell me?

You do whatever it takes

to defend your children from any danger that could jeopardize their future.

Medea, I come to give you a mission.

Long ago I began a struggle to heal a betrayal that weighs on the family.

because of your grandparents, but I couldn't finish it.

Now you are the one who must put an end to it.

Are you okay, sis?

It's showtime.

If your mom was the most wanted thief in the country

and your dad is the best illusionist in America.

You should assume that the account of all your

karmas may have to be paid by you and your siblings.

And if you consider yourself a worthy heir, you should have a trick ready.

spectacular to disappear without a trace.

Especially if you have committed the coup of your life.

One week before...

Hello? Compadre?

I had to come earlier to sieze the situation.

Yes, everything is fine.

The Japanese will arrive at seven and the private room is ready.

Then we'll have dinner and then to your joint.

Remember, pure young lady.

This way we'll force them to sign on the spot.

The mustang is repaired.

The Japanese would love to ride around in a red convertible, don't you think?

Isn't it, compadre?

Well? Compadre?

The battery run out on this piece of shiet.

If I may, can I charge your phone on the bar?

I'd keep an eye in case it rings

and bring it to you to continue your call, sir.

What about you?

Do you like to be overhearing other people's conversations?

No, I just try to be attentive to offer a better service.

I haven't seen you here before, but you look familiar.

I worked at the House of Games and at the Nine Queens.

Maybe I had the pleasure of serving you there.

Of course, of course.

I remembered.

You helped me get that drunk out of the Nine Queens, didn't you?

It was you, of course.

I don't know what you are talking about, sir.

As I've said, I'm very discreet.

That's the way!

I like your style.

Look, come.

I organize some social events and

someone like you, who keeps his mouth shut

would be perfect to attend my guests.

Call me on the weekend, okay?

And yes, I trust you.

Compadre, the battery run out on this shit.

Please send the Mustang to the club right away.

At the entrance you'll hand the keys to a waiter who is a friend of mine.

He'll give you one of my cards so you know it's him.

Okay?

Brother, I am Medea.

I hope you can listen this as soon as possible.

It´s an emergency.

Dad is missing.

I can't find him anywhere.

I even reported it to the police.

Please look for it.

Do you know where Houdini is?

Hello, good afternoon.

The costume party starts later.

In addition, you need a vip wristband for access.

And obviously another outfit because the one you're wearing is zero cool.

It's not a costume, it's my work clothes.

I am the locksmith.

Sorry, I was waiting for you.

Come in, come in.

What a great costume you are wearing.

It's not a costume, it's my work clothes.

So what's the problem?

I can't find the key.

Don't worry, that's very easy.

Really?

I can't find the key to the lock.

My dominated has been willing to go to the bathroom for over an hour.

Shut up!

Weren't you a masochist?

Why don't you go down to welcome your guests.

This will take sime time because the hardware is very rusty.

But we'll release the boy soon.

Trust me.

Well, that's fine.

What a crybaby you are.

Happy halloween.

You were recommended by Cuquis Urrea and Nena Solórzano.

It worked very well for them that you hypnotized them.

How can I help you?

Oh, I'm dying of embarrassment.

Besides, for someone like me, it's an inconvenience, because

Because it looks bad for a society girl to be a kleptomaniac.

How did you know?

Oh, you told her?

You truly are half a witch.

No, I saw you in the waiting room.

You grabbed my Buddha.

It's hot in here, isn't it?

Support me!

I just can't help it.

In other words, I'm getting a reputation as a thief.

Hypnosis is so effective to stop certain behaviors

that its results may seem magical.

Veme.

Sara.

Listen to me.

You are going to do everything I ask you to do because my words are orders.

Yes, madame.

Repeat after me: I will not steal.

I will not steal.

Taking what is not mine is wrong.

Taking what is not mine is wrong.

If I do so, I will feel that a divine fire

will burn my hands and my screams will give me away as a vile thief.

If I do, I will feel a divine fire burning my hands and my screams

they will give me away as a vile thief.

Don't judge me. Support me.

Thief stealing from a kleptomaniac

has 100 years of forgiveness.

Thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful

I'm glad that you like it.

It wasn't necessary, anyway I'm gonna sleep with you all night.

Shut up brass, they can hear us

Hear? Haha. That's funny.

well, your father can see us and he understand the sign language

I also have a gift for you.

Close your eyes.

Common, close your eyes!

It's you and me!

Thank you.

Happy anniversary sweetie.

Don Belmond.

Don Belmond.

Come and see this.

They are talking about Mr. Mellié.

Come.

Merlin, they're talking about your dad.

Mexico's best wizard is on the verge of death.

The great Mélié, a renowned illusionist who for decades was an idol.

is hospitalized, struggling between the here and the hereafter.

Abracadabra!

He was abandoned by his parents at the Belmond Circus when he was just a baby,

and the artists raised him, becoming his real family.

He enjoyed international fame thanks to his

"Abracadabra" program, with which he broke audience records,

and his appearances in several films as a leading man and vigilante.

This led him to found a chain

of costume and magic stores called

"The macabre house Abracadabra".

But just as I was sharing the show with

Medea, Merlin and Houdini, a tragedy occurred.

The strange death of Cassandra, his wife and life partner,

led him to step away from the stage just at the peak of his career.

Little by little he was consumed by oblivion.

The idol of young and old did not come back

for a decade, until today, when he was admitted to the

a sanatorium due to health problems and

according to reports, his life is in danger.

The arcana say we are a disgrace.

We only got together to see my dad because of a misfortune.

No, that's not tarot, sis.

It is your claim.

You are a control freak.

To see him we have to ask you for an appointment.

I don't visit him cause I hate to see him so defeated.

He's been a hermit for years, locked up in his house,

full of trash, doing who knows what.

Haven't you noticed that he is depressed?

Hey.

We were all affected by my mom's death, but we moved on, didn't we?

He got stuck living in a melodrama.

He lost store franchises, has no savings.

He's really fucked up!

Once we are with him, can you keep your comments to yourself?

I promise not to say a word.

Like his girlfriend.

As the girlfriend of this one?

Don't mess with Angela's disability.

You are a brute. You have the advantage of your wife

can't talk and you still won't marry her.

At least I have someone to love me.

You? You're lonelier than Medea.

But for pleasure. Not like her that no one can stand her.

Sons.

Oh, what happiness to see you together to come see me.

Though it is in these unfortunate circumstances.

Outside are the reporters.

They want to know what happened.

Is the media reporting the news?

Wizard, what were you doing alone in a cemetery at midnight?

The truth is...

I was planning a coup.

Your mother and I were involved in it.

But how is my mom involved in this?

Cassandra and I Could not conclude the coup do to his sudden death.

And there it is...

The past...

Coming to collect what we owe him.

A long time ago

A millionaire contacted her.

Truth is that I never saw him.

But what I do know is that he paid her for the entire job.

When your mother died, he disappeared.

But a few months ago,

someone came to see me.

It was the messenger.

Who is this millionaire?

Someone who is capable of anything.

Anything!

On the anniversary of your mother's death.

He looked for me and finally found me.

He knew she used to read the future

to corrupt politicians and then stole from them to help the poor.

He knew of his dual identity

and he also knew she was very good at risky assaults.

Please sit.

You see...

I am part of an ancient lodge.

We collect corpses.

Unusual corpses.

Corpses of chosen ones

and enlightened ones that help us communicate with other dimensions.

But I am missing a promised piece.

You still owe us the twin mummy.

Dad, when I arrived, the nuns gave me this.

You had it in your jacket.

After a tour over Europe,

the twin mummy arrives to this city. The most recognized piece of the museum

of Guanajuato that will be exhibited at the Belen Cemetery.

Why didn't you show it to us?

Let's see.

Were you planning to steal a dead body?

No. Not any dead person.

Precisely that mummy.

The twin mummy is the most famous corpse on display in the Guanajuato museum.

People are shaken by its tragic romantic legend, you know?

I don't remember what it is about.

Yadira and Violeta

were twin sisters who lived in the city of Guanajuato and who, in the middle of

of the last century were orphaned

and inherited a grocery store.

Both were in love with Lauro,

a farmer from here in Jalisco who wanted to marry Violeta.

As he was poor,

he went to California to make his fortune

and he promised Violet that when he came back

He would take her to the altar

and build for her a huge estate where they would be happy.

But Yadira, who hated not being the chosen one by Lauro

murdered her sister with a stab wound to the heart and then committed suicide.

The bodies went to the mass grave

and due to the minerals of the region, they were mummified.

Eventually, both were exhibited in the museum.

Several years later, Lauro returned to Guanajuato as a don.

It is said that he owned a fortune in jewelry.

and that she was bringing a pair of diamond rings for her wedding.

When he learned of the tragedy,

full of sadness, he went to the museum and paid for Violeta's corpse.

Lauro bought the promised hacienda and built a crypt in the garden where he

buried himself alive with his fortune and the mummy of his beloved.

The twin mummy was not a known object years ago.

For this reason, and out of respect for your grief,

I did not look for you to complete the contract.

He comes to claim what is his.

Help me, please, I have to go get that corpse.

But November 2 is in a week. You can barely move.

I must steal that corpse because, because I have to save you.

What do you mean, save us?

Why do you have to save us, pa?

Why would you risk your life to complete the mission.

I need you to deliver it to me before someone else steals it.

What if I don't get it?

If you fail, you could compensate us

with that of any of your three talented sons.

I have to keep my word and keep your mother's word.

Because you are in danger and I will not allow it.

Brothers, we have to plan a perfect coup in less than four days.

I agree.

It's been a long time since dad had such determination.

In spite of how ill he is and his age.

I don't know, I'm still not convinced.

Ah, money!

Melliédollars!

Do you remember these bills?

I used to exchange them for marbles, for candy, with my...

And here's how handsome my dad looked. Just like me.

In fact, I'll bet you a million of these

if the collector's threat is pure bluff.

I haven't seen one of these in years.

How long ago since the three of us were here?

About 20 years?

I remember you and mom used to hang out there

reading cards at each other.

And you were her in the costumes, trying one after another.

And imitating the voices of incoming customers?

No.

At eight, you learned how to open my dad's safe.

He was so angry cause you took his porn movies.

He made me. He wanted them.

- Me? - Yes. Don't you remember?

- Hey. - What?

Did you and mom did ever hypnotized each other?

You know it's impossible between relatives.

If possible, she would have taken away your fear

to ask for Angela's hand.

Right, right.

- Have you seen this? - What?

What a beauty.

What?

You want to open it, don't you?

If you wanto to, go for it.

- What is it? - A security alarm.

Security for what?

Those things only have affective value.

Exactly.

It's not logical for Dad to have such an alarm installed.

Hello.

Please tell me the security code.

Abracadabra.

Sorry, this is not the voice registered in the system.

Please tell me the security code.

My dad! Talk like my dad.

Abracadabra.

Correct voice.

The code is invalid.

First unsuccessful attempt.

Will it be the name of one of us?

The name of his prefered child?

Merlin.

Failed code.

Houdini.

Failed code.

Medea.

You have only one attempt left or the alarm will be activated.

Is it my mother's name?

No, wait.

Children... Children!

Try with children.

Are you sure, sister?

With the selected voice.

If dad didn't choose an individual name

is because together we are the most valuable thing in his life.

Children.

You may come in.

Come in where?

How so?

Well, I guess it's a trick we didn't know about the great Mellié.

Plese grow old.

Look, a macabre clown.

Have you ever been here?

No, never.

Look, look, look.

Ouch. What's that?

It's a rat.

Isn't there a switch?

So big and such a coward.

I got burned with the oil lamp.

What about this shaggy girl?

Ah, it is a replica.

It looks amazing.

Looks like it was made by Don Vicente's.

It's made of rubber.

Of course.

My dad hid a replica of the mummy here

because all this has to do with the organization of the coup.

Now I know what he has done in the last 10 years.

This is my mom's handwriting.

These are the plans of the coffin they used during the mummy tour.

It has the exact measurements and design details.

What's my dad doing with a safe-cracking instruction manual?

Hey, don't you guys think it's a little weird?

Our parents were supposed to steal the priceless mummy from the museum

and that's what they designed this movie plan we see, right?

But I don't see any trace of that plan or any photos of Guanajuato.

I think he discarded it when they took the mummy to Europe

and then moved to the plan of the Belen pantheon.

Here are several detail shots that my mom made.

This means that my mom was at that hacienda several times.

It must be this one here.

That is Lauro's ranch.

Which Lauro?

Lauro.

Lauro, the groom.

The twin's boyfriend. The rich man.

The one who made the hacienda.

But then, why did they planed the coup on the hacienda and not on the museum?

Well, to begin with, because it was closer to them.

Because this hacienda is not in Guanajuato.

It's 1 hour from here.

And for the treasure in the legend.

What does it say?

Lauro was buried alive with his beloved and his fortune.

He buried himself with his fortune and his wife.

Like the pharaohs, who buried themselves with their treasures,

his servants and puppies.

Well, it wasn't puppys, it was kittens.

Ok, ok... Excuse me, Miss documentary.

What I mean is that in the crypt,

in addition to the corpses, there should also be Lauro's diamonds.

No?

Are you crazy?

You can't enter that hacienda.

Come back.

Easy, pa.

We reviewed all the information that you and mom collected over the years.

and we know by heart the new plan to enter the ranch.

Why didn't you tell us you wanted to include us?

The thing is I decided to abort the mission

when I saw that it was too dangerous.

We already know what you wanted each of us to do.

Hey, pa, you and mom decided to rob the mausoleum

to take the mummy for the collector

and to kept Lauro's jewelry, right?

To be honest, that's right.

Your mother discovered that before crossing

the border, Lauro exchanged all his money for diamonds.

Some of those where put in his wedding rings and the rest he swallowed.

Why what?

So as not to declare anything to customs.

I am about to become Roque Malacara,

the godson of the new owner of the hacienda.

I checked the videos you got from Roque.

I copied his voice, his movements.

I know that this woman loves him like a son and that the only way

to enter the ranch is by impersonating him

and I'll do it, wizard.

Exactly.

That was the intention of including you and your siblings in the plan.

But I regret it.

So I don't want you to go there.

But why not?

Just because.

If you thought the collector was someone dangerous,

the owner of the hacienda

is pure evil.

We all know that Agatha Villaseñor is the most powerful cacique in the region.

For more than 50 years, it has blatantly stolen from hundreds of indigenous people.

protected by the old political system that we want to overthrow today.

We have witnessed how she destroys all those who

confrented her.

She is an evil, sinister, perverse woman,

raised in the sewers of power.

The land that used to belong to the peasants

is now a territory with no law but her own.

And that she lives confined and protected by a former commander.

Palemón Cruz, better known as "El Hacha",

is a corrupt, bloodthirsty cop,

that as he was discharged from the police forces

became that lady's head of security,

leading a group of hired killers

that maintain the ranch as an impenetrable fortress.

El Sapo, la Pedrada, Rómulo, Remo, la Gusana.

It is unfortunate that the judge ruled in her favor again.

But I want to tell you this.

From here, from the prosecutor's office,

we are going to work very hard to make that lady

pay for everything he has stolen from the people

all that it has taken from him.

And I am convinced that very soon, finally,

justice will be done.

Congratulations, ma'am. I told you so.

This judge would not fail.

It was all a matter of making the right proposal.

And so, despite the warnings,

we set out on our adventure to close a cycle initiated by our parents.

We were going to meet some very dangerous people.

So we had to behave as if we were crazier than them.

We knew we were heding into the lion's den.

But we all have a weakness...

and Doña Agatha's was her godson Roque.

The only person who could enter and leave the hacienda at will.

So we would take advantage of my brother Merlin's resemblance to him.

We were going to get into that ranch even if it was by force.

Let me in.

Let me in.

That you let me in.

Aren't you going to let me in?

What's that mess?

It is my home!

Let's see, what's going on?

Leave me alone, Roque! I didn't do anything!

How many times have I told you not to contradict me?

Because I destroy you.

Godmother, I missed you.

Roque, what are you doing here?

Don't tell me you escaped from the annex.

We send you to that clinic to control your violent side.

He can't control his anger.

You shut up.

Or I'll knock your teeth out

and you'll necome a good looking, baldy.

How so?

And toothless.

I'm fine now, Nina.

I am cured of everything, even my gambling addiction.

Are you sure you are no longer addicted to casinos and gambling?

For sure.

Do you want to bet?

You see I was fine, but this wretch wouldn't let me in.

He came with unknown people.

They are my friends, you moron.

Commander, call the clinic to let them know he escaped.

We'll call right away.

No, that's not necessary, ma'am.

Roque is under my care.

I am Dr. Vadillo.

Good afternoon.

Allow me to inform you that your godchild has been

discharged from the annex.

I'm old, but not blind.

Improvement? Just look at it.

Roque, you calm down or you'll be back to the desert house

washing the latrines with the tongue, ok?

No, it's okay, it's okay.

I'll calm down. I'll calm down.

There it is.

I've calmed down.

I can't believe it. Miracle.

I told you, it's under control.

Wait a minute, doctor!

Wait a minute!

And why were we not informed by the general manager

of the rehabilitation center where this donkey-faced bastard was waxed.

The thing is, it's not official yet,

but he really wanted to visit you.

He asked my permission to come.

- Really, mijo? - Yes.

- You wanted to see me? - Yes.

I thought you were very angry with me for sending you there.

Well, at the beginning

I thought I'll get revenge by

taking out Remo's remaining eye.

But then I thought:

give that satisfation to your Nina Agatha to be less toxic.

- So I applied myself. - Ay, mijo.

Oh, my king.

Let's see, my king.

You look different to me.

Different how, Nina?

As if you were someone else.

Of course he is another one.

You wanted him to change and we delivered.

It is very difficult to explain.

It looks the same on the outside, but...

There's something weird I don't like.

We don't like.

There is something weird.

Yes, very weird.

Something strange.

Stranger than a honest politician.

I'm almost sure it's his energy.

Well, his energy is different because

we took the wildness of him, didn't we, Roque?

Yes, I'm not wild anymore, I'm gentle.

But.

But he neither smell like he used to.

No, he doesn't. He smells worse.

It does not smell as usual.

No, it doesn't smell like always, it smells like never.

It's not his humor.

His humor is definitely not.

No, it is not him!

This is not my Roque!

Hold on, hold on!

Calm down

That's, that's not your Roque.

And it is not your Roque because it is now mine.

And if it smells different, it's because he has my scent all over it.

Gusana, throw a bucket of ice water on them.

Ah, so you are the commander.

That's me, queen.

But you tell me axe or hatchet.

Or Palemon.

She is my girlfriend!

What a great joke!

Her name is Virginia and she comes from a very hot place.

Very hot.

Tell me something, dear.

Are you really her girlfriend?

- Yes - Why is she moaning?

Virginia is addicted... To bed.

It is obvios that she is... lazy.

She's lazy. Actually she is...

Love? Why don't we give it to her?

To whom?

To your godmother, the gift you brought her.

We brought you a little gift.

What are you doing, bith?

Open the gift, nina.

You open it, Commander, I don't want to get infected.

Gusana, you open it, I don't want to get infected.

I made it with my own hands in the annex, Nina.

If you see little blood, it's because

I sliced the hand of the one who criticized it.

Oh, it's me!

How wonderful!

I have never received anything so beautiful!

It is so valuable!

It was my girlfriend's idea.

Oh, lovebirds, I'm happy.

Welcome to your home. Very welcome.

Doctor.

It was so close!

What happened, Medea?

Why couldn't you hypnotize her?

I tried, but I couldn't. She pulled the cane.

That necklace is a tiger's eye amulet.

And I'm sure she has a talisman on her necklace.

Well, first step achived. We are now inside the hacienda.

Step two.

There is the crypt.

That.

Let's see.

Agatha celebrates November 2 every year.

Mom knew it was the perfect date to sneak in,

because everyone will be looking out for the guests.

And you know what?

That party is today, so get ready.

What up?

The dog doesn't recognize your smell, Roque.

I just changed lotion.

If you want, we can let him play for a while.

No, leave it there. He looks tired, Sapo.

Oh, how handsome.

What a great party, Mrs. Agatha.

Aren't you worried that with so many guests, a thief might sneak in?

There is no safer place than this ranch, doctor.

Don't worry.

We are not afraid of thieves.

The thieves are the ones afraid to senak in and get caught!

I'll tell the truth:

this lady doesn't need any of us.

She is self-sufficient.

He has a barbaric aim with the shotgun.

Besides, I've hunted all kinds of animals

from the ones we'll have for dinner up to an american buffalo.

That's my favorite trophy at home.

I have it stored in the library, with my other treasures.

Please excuse me: I need to go to the bathroom and call the clinic.

May I?

Just pull the lever.

Girl.

Do you know where Roque is?

Please excuse her indecent manners.

She's not from here, she's from Aguascalientes.

And how do they call you?

Nymphomaniacs.

No to those of Aguascalientes.

Ah!

Commander,

find Roque for me before she boils.

- Commander! - What happened?

Look for Roque!

Sure, sure... I'll do.

Easy, easy.

For Roque, I go.

Nice girl, isn't she?

Viejo. Those from Aguascalientes are called hidrocálidas.

And if you continue to see her that way, you will be called the castrated.

You scared me!

Where is Merlin?

I just saw him.

He left the tools next to the crypt and told us to put this on.

¡Salud!

I've got you by the short and curlies, motherfucker.

Pre-Hispanic food.

Roque, you look so handsome.

He seems dehydrated.

Madam, rumor has it that you took your godson out of foster care.

And then adopted him. Is it true?

Yes.

At that time I was on political campaign.

And my consultant told me

that if the electorate realized that I was rescuing from the street

to a child or a puppy, my points were going to go up.

So, not to make a mistake,

I took both of them to my speech.

And do you know what he did

when he was next to the dog and in front of the public?

He bit the dog.

And I infected it with rabies.

Madam, the musicians are ready.

Dear friends, I now invite you to enjoy

the extraordinary voice of the famous international soprano Alba del Llano.

What's up?

They put glue on the inside and it cannot be opened with a key.

The chain must be cut

And now?

Easy, easy, easy.

Merlin said if we wore Agatha's clothes

the dogs would do nothing to us.

I don't blame him. We smell like Chernovil.

Fuck.

They will hear us!

There are no diamonds.

Hide!

If the twin mummy is not here

So the theory is true.

Which theory?

We are going to look for the jewels in the old woman's safe.

No, Houdini.

Agatha said she had her treasures hidden in the library.

We must seize the moment.

It is dangerous.

Medea, I'm not leaving empty-handed.

Hey, no, no.

I'm staying here.

Agatha talked about a buffalo.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Hey!

What does it do?

Calm down.

No one can be here.

How did you open?

Calm down.

Look at my eyes.

Look at my eyes.

I can't, I'm cross-eyed.

Let's see what the commander says.

In the meantime, you are under arrest. Move!

Oh, Gusanita.

But hey.

Hey, but don't point at me!

Come on!

Such beautiful hair you have.

Don't leave her alone, Roque. Someone might stole her.

What happened?

Nothing. I'll tell you later.

It's Lauro!

And he tells me: No, it's just that I'm with the girl from the taran.

Which taran?

So I asked him.

And he says to me: ¡taran!

Can I?

Yes, come in.

Oh, children, I'm so glad you came.

Look who came out of his tent to visit me.

Don Belmond.

Applause.

And those chocolates?

He brought them.

I did not ask for them.

Please sit down.

I'm going to work

announcing the two shows of the day.

Darling.

Good to see you.

Take care of and support your father in any way you can.

It's worst than I thought.

Well, will you now tell me what happened?

All wrong, Dad.

The twin mummy was not in the tomb.

Someone beat us to it.

What do you mean it wasn't there?

I think Agatha sold it.

On the altar of the dead she had Lauro's picture.

That means she knows the legend and she knows what was in the tomb.

In Lauro's tomb there were no diamonds either.

And in the safe there were only papers.

We brought Lauro's corpse with us.

Maybe we can give it to the collector.

in the meantime, to negotiate.

I'm almost sure last night at the hacienda

I saw the messenger you told us about.

The collector...

I can do it alone!

Fuck!

He will not leave us in...

Dad... Dad!

Help me!

Wizard...

Go get someone.

Quickly, quickly.

Wizard. Wizard, breathe.

Here I am with you. Wizard.

Oh, I don't feel good at all.

No, no, no. Breathe, breathe.

I can't.

I am here. I am with you.

Son. Take care of everything.

Don't say that. Wizard.

I can't breathe.

No. Wizard. Wizard, breathe.

Easy, easy, easy.

All right, everybody out of here.

Can you leave, please?

Brothers

We can't let my dad down.

We need a plan B.

What do you mean by plan B?

Hello, I'm Milton Winkler, responsible for the tour that has taken

our national heritage to different countries in Europe.

It is a pleasure to be here again

in our homeland, with all of you.

Out of the 100 pieces exhibited in the collection at Guanajuato

the Twin Mummy is the most famous of all.

It is an honor that the Twin Mummy is here in our city today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank

to the authorities of the Pantheon of Belen Museum

for given us the opportunity to use this unique and wonderful space in the city.

Well, ladies and gentlemen of the media

Flash photography is not allowed.

The twin mummy.

I ask you to come with me by pairs in order to

to take a closer look to the reason of our visit.

Please accompany me, carefully.

The rest of you, please stay here.

at the foot of the steps and wait your turn.

Please.

Just look at this beauty.

One question.

Yes, tell me.

Has anyone ever tried to steal the twin mummy?

Well, unfortunately in Madrid

we had an attempted robbery, but we were able to prevent it,

so we took action.

To answer your question, Miss,

stealing the twin mummy

is practically impossible.

Yes, yes, yes. Give me 20 minutes and I'll come get you sister.

I just left Merlin at the circus and I have some things to do.

Ok,

Let's see what you keep here with such zeal, dear Agatha.

Was this in the safe?

In a safety deposit box inside the safe.

What you see is Agatha's most precious object.

You told me there was nothing.

Why did you lie?

I didn't want you to have false expectations.

I wanted to check if it was the jewelry.

I have just opened it.

This confirms my theory about what happened to mom.

This changes everything.

Which theory?

Twice now.

I'm not going to tell you right now.

Explain it to me, cause I don't get it.

Fuck!

Relax.

Hide that.

Hello, my friend.

Good afternoon. Any problem?

No, just here for a routine check-up, right, buddy?

Yes, but we are not doing anything wrong.

Excuse the inconvenience.

It's just the car caught our attention.

Nice ride, well treated.

Yes, thanks.

Truth is I'm in a hurry.

Don't worry.

It won't take long.

We'll just check a few things.

Okay.

Positive?

Talk to the captain.

Boss

Tell your compadre we found his car.

It still has the same plate.

We'll take it to you.

Please, gentleman.

Don't see me

Calm down, calm down.

Easy, easy, easy.

Thank you very much, Stanley.

I've loved this popcorn ever since I was a kid.

Thank you.

What's up kid?

Don Belmond.

What happened?

How is your dad?

Bad.

After you left, he received bad news and got worse.

I am here to ask you a favor.

What are we good for?

What can Belmond Circus do for you?

To put on a show that could help us save my dad's life.

A show?

Is there a risk of losing the circus?

Would my little carrot be in any danger?

And would you allow it?

Of course not.

Do you know why the old circus guard greets each other like this?

This is how the catcher grabs his partners on the trapeze.

Their lives depend on him, on how he holds them.

Count on us, my boy.

We will not let you fall.

Thank you very much, Mr. Belmond.

Thank you.

What happened, Medea?

What's up, little brother?

Did you got a nose job?

You should have seen how I left their fists.

Poor guys.

Angela.

Good to see you.

Although I would have preferd under different circumstances.

Me too.

Wizard. What are you doing here?

Merlin, we need to talk.

No, no.

I was fooled.

We were deceived.

The two of them are accomplices, Houdini.

We were played, as always.

The great Mellié is not dying.

Everything is a lie.

Would you have preferred Dad was convalescing for real?

No.

I would have preferred not been distressed for his health

while risking my life playing Roque.

Let me explain.

A few months ago I told Medea that I had met the collector.

She was the one who suggested that I fake the heart attack so I could trick him.

If the media announced that I was on the verge of death, I would have more time.

Do you understand me, son?

And I think it's a great plan, but why lie to us?

For us to make the strike.

My dad didn't ask us to do anything.

No.

He just used the basic principle of the swindler.

He made us give him our trust on our own account.

Specially having you as a procurer at his side.

No, he did not ask for help.

But he wanted us to come to the macabre house

to find the secret room

understand the plan and pool our talents to execute it.

It was necessary, understand it.

You don't know it, but my wife,

Cassandra, your mother,

sacrificed herself in order to solve

the mystery that has been hanging over the family for a long time.

The answer to that mystery

was held by a cacique.

My mom noticed when she read his palm.

So she became her friend.

When she confirmed everything, she decided to act alone.

The cacique found out,

felt betrayed and therefore killed your mother.

And it turns out that this cacique is none other than Agatha Villaseñor.

This...

This is the kerchief your mother was wearing the last time I saw her.

And then, when we found the body, she was no longer wearing it.

It was in the old woman's safe.

For Agatha it is a hunting trophy.

Do you think all this was necessary to help you find the murderer?

No.

No, but they would have ruined it

because you would have been motivated by revenge.

You wouldn't been as natural as you were.

Tell me something.

If you had known, would you have been kind and playful with Agatha?

Of course not.

Your passion, your pain would have given you away.

Same to you.

I know you.

Look, Dad

I entered this sham for the diamonds

and cause you offered half of them if I found them.

Yes, sis.

You are not the only one who agreed with him.

So I was the only one who was not in communication with you, son.

Don't come near me.

It pisses me off you think I was not capable of understanding the plan

its motives.

I took a chance.

Well, at least we didn't hurt Houdini as you did.

Because he's like this because of you.

Hey, stop fighting.

I accept my karma.

Why do you think everyone walks away from you?

Why do you think you are alone?

At least I have initiative.

You haven't formalized your relationship with Angela.

Do you know why?

Because you have no authority.

You have no character.

You have no decision.

You have no voice.

Because you do not exist.

Merlin!

Daughter, let him go.

No...

It's just that...

Without Merlin, there is no plan.

Hey, where are you going? Go back with your family.

To what?!

Don´t yell at me.

I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU!

Yes! You're talking to me with capital letters.

THAT´S NOT TRUE!

Why are you so angry with your sister?

I´m more angry with myself.

Medea is right.

I copycat and steal personalities because I am afraid to know who I am...

...or what I'm not.

I like who you are when you're with me.

I would like that you realize who you are, and what are you capable.

and i would love be by your side when you figure out.

Merlin was right.

We should have been honest with him.

He's such a pussy.

We are all professional liars.

I'm sorry.

I feel so bad cause I have not been a good father to you.

I could not keep you together.

As you see

your brother is no longer with us.

Now we have to sacrifice.

Look, this is the new plan.

Especially you, Houdin, you're so rapturous.

Ok.

If this is to avenge my Mom's death and put Agatha in jail, let's do it.

You came to early. You interrupted me.

You told me to wait 3 minutes.

6 minutes.

But I that was my cue.

That was not your cue. Where did we leave off?

Do you know what timing is?

Timing? Of course it is.

The rhythm. That has always been your problem.

But I said the motivational phrase.

No, no motivational phrase.

Let's see, let's see, let's see.

Did you come to an agreement?

Oh, you have no voice.

You have no initiative.

Stop it, kids.

Hey, really, don't take it personally.

This is good for the project.

All right.

I owe you an apology.

You owe them an apology and you owe us a mummy.

Hold it right there! Don't move.

Hey. Dad.

Easy, easy.

He helped us.

If it weren't for him, Houdini and I wouldn't be alive.

He saved us from the cops and brought us here.

I have been following the four of you for a long time.

My job is to protect you until you achieve the goal.

By orders of the Collector.

No, no. That is not true.

No, he threatened me.

Well, that was to motivate him.

It did not go very well.

You are not the only mastermind here.

Your children went behind your back and created a plan.

I will support them because it looks like the perfect coup.

You wanted the three of us to join

and help you steal the mummy.

Well, that's it. You made it.

But now you'll get your hands dirty.

It's time to get back to action.

If you really want to honor my mom's memory

and fulfill the order of the collector

you have to put on that suit again.

We can't steal the mummy at night because there will be too many guards.

So we'll do it at daytime and with an audience.

And what better distraction than the return of the great Mellié.

Let's use that all media are talking about you.

The legend has to shine again.

Let's don't make the same mistake my mom did.

Let's do this together.

I'm really crying. Kids.

Real magic happens

when the family is united.

Do you remember a couple of days ago we reported

the delicate state of health of the great Mellié?

Today we received a press release announcing his return to illusionism

and promises to dissapear the twin mummy.

Call the commander!

Romulo!

Fire!

And here we have Milton Winkler, the event's tour director.

Hi. What's up?

We are very happy with this news.

We are true fans of the great Mellié.

And I love his return will be with the twin mummy

in a marvelous act of magic.

As long as he doesn't burn it like in his movies, Right?

My Roque is kidnapped.

These were left to us as a message.

Let's see, darling, what happened?

Last night we went to a clandestine gambling house

and Roque went crazy betting over and over again.

And the worst part is he took a loan from the owners.

And he lost everything.

When we said you were his godmother we thought they would chinken out,

But it came out worse.

They kept my Mustang.

This great show will only be in presence of media and some personalities,

but will be broadcast live.

I don't know who you are, but I warn you...

Madam, shut up, that Im in charge.

If you want to see Roque alive, you will obey.

I want to listen to Roque,

Commander, I know you are there.

Take the lady to the bank to her largest safe deposit box.

You'll put all its contents in the backpack I gave you

and will wait for my instructions.

Understood?

I don't want anyone else in the vehicle.

I said I want to listen to Roque!

And you will. As soon as I get my money.

I am not a murderer like you.

I will just collect one of your debts.

I'll call an ambulance to take the doctor to the hospital.

Third call.

Third.

We begin.

Call your contacts in the police and ask for support.

They shall block roads, airports, everything.

Don't worry, boss. Everything will be fine.

Come on, little brother.

I hope we find him in one piece.

I'll call the Vikings gang to find the doctor's car.

And when Roque is safe and sound,

I want you to move heaven, sea and earth until you find the culprit.

I want to skin it myself.

Yes ma'am.

Did you hear that, you bastards?

We don't want failures. Come on.

Thank you for coming.

I love you.

I love you all.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for joining us.

I'll call the bank to get them ready.

Let's go.

What's in there? You can't get that in.

It is Mr. Mellié's make-up and hairstyling table.

Hey, officer, look at his raw face.

There's no way she's going on camera like that.

He really needs a make up.

Ok, but the cart goes the other way.

And when you get out, I can get an autograph, right?

Of course, of course.

I need to ask you for a favor.

Whatever you ask.

I assume the mummy is monitored by closed-circuit cameras, right?

That's right, day and night.

Can you turn those cameras off while I perform my show?

I don't want my act of illusionism to be recorded.

It's just that if that video was released, I would lose credibility.

Of course.

And people woul stop believing in magic,

and neither you nor I want to disappoint them.

No, not at all.

You do understand what I'm saying, don't you?

So what are you going to do?

I'll turn off the cameras

and sit the audience in this part.

Not so close.

The ambulance arrived.

Wait for me in the van.

Are you sure, boss?

Ok.

Hello?

Do you have it all?

Yes, all.

Go to the Devil's Bridge on the old road to Tonalá.

Leave the bag on the Virgin's altar and keep driving until I call you back.

- Understood? - Understood.

Commander.

Go to the Diablo Bridge, at Tonalá.

Hurry up!

Mr. Prosecutor.

If you want to catch Agatha Villaseñor,

go to the abandoned sugar mill at San Gabriel.

Wait a second.

Who is this?

Please check out the pictures I'll send

and take your people with you.

Ladies and gentlemen.

After 10 years away from stages,

is back into this beautifull museum

the great, the absolute king of illusionists.

Let's welcome with a round of applause

to the great Mellié!

Today I will disappear this mummy.

And so I ask, do you want to see real magic?

Yes!

I want you to go back to the magic of childhood

and repeat after me

- One - One

- Two - Two

Three.

Abracadabra!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Captain, the suspect is leaving the Diablo Bridge on a motorcycle.

The money is in a black backpack. Grab him!

Turn it up.

And now,

in order to return the mummy

into its place, I need you to concentrate

and say softly:

Come back, mummy, come back.

Come back, mummy, come back.

Come back, mummy, come back.

Come back, mummy, come back.

One, two, three.

Abracadabra.

We delivered the money.

Go to the abandoned San Gabriel sugar mill.

Your godson is there.

Hello? Hello?

I'm where you told me.

Walk to the wall of noise in front of you.

Roque is there.

Wait for me here, Commander.

No, no, no! Don't throw it!

What are you doing here?

Commander, come quickly!

What up ma'am?

Ask this bitch where my godson is.

Your godson?

Your godchild is being tortured

at the annex you sent him to.

Who are you?

Where is the commander?

I saw him get into my truck.

But not when he got off.

Commander, I can't talk.

We located the doctor's car with the suspects.

Leave me the keys in the truck and go get them!

What are you waiting for?

Shall I read your future?

Or can you imagine it?

Years ago, a woman like you wanted to get smart with me.

I was happy to kill her

when she broke into my house to steal.

Yes, but that woman didn't want your money.

She wanted justice.

Have you heard about the twin mummies?

Legend says Yadhira killed her sister Violeta

when Lauro left for the U.S.

And then committed suicide.

But that is not true.

What really happened

is that Violeta got pregnant of Lauro just before he left.

He never found out because in childbirth things got complicated.

Before dying in childbirth, Violeta asked Yadira to take care of the baby.

But she abandoned him in a passing circus.

Yes, that circus was the Belmond Circus.

For many years, Yadhira pretended to be Violeta, writing to Lauro.

He, in turn, sent money to build the hacienda.

It wasn't until his return that he realized it was all a hoax.

Lauro discovered that his beloved was a mummy

and that his son was lost to the world.

Yadira, in desperation, confessed she was in love with him.

Feeling rejected, she killed Lauro out of spite

taking away the possibility of finding his son to form a family.

Yadhira kept Lauro's jewelry and wedding rings.

He paid a reporter to spread the false legend of the twin mummies.

She came to the hacienda Lauro bought.

There she build a crypt to keep the corpse of his impossible love.

Her name now is Ágatha Villaseñor.

And she'd been waiting her own death to rest next to Lauro's tomb.

She wanted to spend eternity with him.

But that's not going to happen.

Because we'll grant that wish to those who deserve it.

70 years had to pass for my parents to get back together.

Children, leave me alone with her.

Hello?

This is Captain Fujita speaking.

We have the ransom money from your boss.

We'll wait for you at El Ocotillo.

Fucking great, Captain.

We are on our way.

Hit to the Ocotillo Lake. Let's pick the money first.

Sapo, ask the Vikings to get doctor's car.

Yes, sir.

Everyone beware.

It may be a trap.

We are almost there.

Aunt.

You did a lot of harm to my family.

You killed my parents

my wife.

But today

the time has come for you to pay.

Nobody fires a single bullet until I give the order.

There it is.

My father was a country person

just like all those you have abused.

You also stole their land,

their dreams.

But today is your judgment day.

Are you okay, sis?

It's showtime.

Remember I told you that you must have a spectacular act to escape

without anyone imagining it?

Lieutenant.

Ms. Agatha, you are under arrest.

What's up?

Axe.

Is it complete?

Let's see, check your bags, motherfucker.

We are honest.

I know you, Captain.

These are the "Mellié dollars"

You can get them at "The macabre house Abracadabra".

Ahhhh!

Let's go!

Where is Roque?

Where is Roque?

Where is Roque?

Where is him?

Who is Roque?

Today, thanks to my wife, thanks to you, dear children,

for the first time the whole family is together.

Thank you very much.

I was always tormented by the idea of not knowing who my parents were

and also of not knowing why they had abandoned me.

This is the temple where my grandfather wanted to marry his beloved.

I think it is the perfect place for them to rest in peace.

And well, also tell you that

this fortune Yadhira accumulated,

all this

was because she stole it from your grandfather.

And so I want to split it.

One part will be for the family, for us.

And this for the Belmond family.

Thank you. Thank you.

Another part will go to the people Ágatha swindled.

A new tent.

Because that's what my sweetheart would have wanted.

Thank you very much for fulfilling the will of my parents

to be eternally together in one grave.

That's what they deserved.

Thank you very much.

The collector thought it was a better idea

that the original mummy stayed here so that no one could find it.

If anyone plans to take it from the museum,

will have a surprise made of rubber.

Please.

Please tell the collector that I will always be forever indebted to him.

No, man, there are no debts between families.

Besides, I couldn't say no after all the circus your daughter went through to gather

your grandparents and that you knew your true origin, right, my love?

Dad, we need to talk.

Yes, we need to talk.

In other words, you

I was fooled.

Sons.

Do they realize it?

We were deceived.

The two of them are accomplices.

Pleased to meet you.

My name is Fabian.

I am your daughter's boyfriend.

So, you are my father-in-law.

Siblings-in-law.

Sister-in-law. Well. However you say.

Wait, there's one thing I don't understand.

The collector threatened me and...

Who is he?

My dad.

And he is a great admirer of yours. He sends his best regards.

Medea.

You lied to all of us.

Brother.

We had to heal our lineage.

My mom told me.

You do whatever it takes to save

your children from any danger that could jeopardize their future.

I don't want the new generations to carry with this family karma.

But why the urgency?

She is pregnant.

Did you do all this because you are pregnant?

Surprise.

No, no father-in-law

Grandfather, then.

No!

Come into my arms

So I

I'm going to be a grandfather.

The old man is going to have grandchildren

and my little carrot doesn't want to get pregnant.

Don't you realize that for circus people, family is the most important thing?

Let's see if this will cheer them up.

Thank you, brother.

And I wanted to improve the species.

What is he telling her?

He is proposing.

It looks like they are splitting up.

I think that's the end...

I love to see my family like this.

Now that I realize

Aren't those the rings your grandfather was getting married with?

I don't know what you're talking about, Dad.

Don't you know? Tell me the truth.

Houdini? You found those jewels in the safe, didn't you?

I don't know what you are talking about.

Houdini.

Don't do your escapist act.

Houdini Come here. Come here!

Every great magic trick,

every spectacular scam

and every unusual love story

always hide in the background a mystery and a deception.

And if it is to save the family, one is capable of anything.

A few weeks later

Commander.

Be prepared.

After the leak,

the hunt begins.
