[all] We swear that what happens at the Olympics

stays at the Olympics!

[students] Capi! Capi! Capi!

Are you aware of a video that went viral a few months ago?

-A video of what? -Of your son.

-[Ana] How is he, Doctor? -He's recovering.

[teacher] Welcome back.

I'm glad to see you didn't let a few wasps take you down.

-[indistinct chatter] -[MM] What a handsome boy!

-[all laugh] -Oh, wow!

I'm trying to help you.

Like you helped me by convincing me to go to his house, right?

Having powers isn't real! Okay?

Did they do this to you when you were a kid?

-No. -[grunts, yells]

Man! Guys, guys! Guys, guys, guys!

What do we know about our son? [pants] What? We know nothing.

I'm seriously worried.

Just kids being kids, nothing more.

[dragon] This is not kids being kids.

THAT'S HOW I BECOME INVISIBLE, MY DEAR. JUST BY WANTING IT!

[Capi] That's why no one ever helped me, and no one ever did anything for me.

Because they couldn't see me. I was… invisible.

Leave me alone!

[♪ soft ominous music playing]

Oh, wow, dude! Your grandpa's bikes are crazy. I almost killed myself.

[Zaro] What did you expect? My dad used 'em when he was a kid.

Come on, jump! Don't be a chicken!

Zaro!

Come down!

Here I come!

Let's go! [laughs]

It won't stop! It's not working! Help me, the brake snapped!

-Zaro, stop! -[Zaro] Capi!

-[Capi] Jump! -[Zaro] Help me!

♪ Do you wanna come around? ♪

♪ I wonder where you are ♪

♪ Maybe you wanna get supper? ♪

-[Capi] Man, doesn't it freak you out? -[Zaro] What?

Starting high school.

[chuckles softly] I mean, of course. But it's gonna be awesome.

-I guess so. -You guess so?

What do you mean, you guess so?

High school's got everything.

I mean, it'll be like our own little world without our parents there.

When we're there, we'll be all that we wanna be, man.

-I didn't know you were into studying now. -No, man. Not that.

But there's going to be a bunch of cool new people.

A basketball court or two.

And on top of all that, a cafeteria, man.

Can you believe it? And the best part of all, the girls.

A bunch of new girls that we don't know yet.

[both laugh]

Who will ignore us because they'll only pay attention to the older boys.

What are you talking about, man? I've even got an Adam's apple now.

Look, come closer, feel it. Feel it, feel it. Hey!

[both chuckle]

Besides, my dad told me that girls love this.

Although, it seems like you already have your sights set on someone.

-Me? -Yes, you.

Come on, you were practically drooling over Kiri at your birthday party, man.

-No way. -Right, sure. Look at you giggling.

You turned redder than a tomato when you saw her.

Don't get carried away.

You don't know anything about girls, you nerd.

Hey, what about Desi, from my town?

The one you shared a peck with in a game?

Just a peck? It lasted for over three seconds.

-That's basically a French kiss! -[both chuckle]

-[♪ song concludes] -Hey! Unbelievable!

-No! No, no! -Unbelievable! Come on!

-Say it's gonna be awesome! -It's gonna be awesome!

-[yells] Say it! -[yells] It's gonna be awesome!

Louder!

-[♪ somber instrumental music playing] -I'm alone, you know? Alone!

[indistinct chatter]

[Zaro grunts]

[student] Dang it!

[indistinct chatter]

Good shot, champ. Yeah?

Thanks.

Course, you shouldn't be hanging out with Tomato so much.

Dude, you deserve more.

I think I gotta go.

Why don't you come with us later?

I can't.

What's the matter, you don't want to hang out with us or what?

No, man, it's just I can't. I gotta go to something with my dad later.

I'm sorry, really.

[sighs]

I HAVEN'T SEEN CAPI IN DAYS

[♪ music fades]

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM EITHER

-You like her, don't you? -What?

[chuckles] That friend that you like more than anything else.

What are you talking about? C'mon.

If you like her

"HE DISAPPEARED"

what you need to do is have some courage and tell her.

But don't be a loser, okay?

-That's the last thing you want. -[Delia] Leave him alone, Manuel, come on.

But it's true.

If you don't wake up to the world, you'll be left with nothing.

In life, no one gives you anything for free.

I HEARD MM IS GOING AFTER YOU

[Manuel] And if you want something, you need to go and get it.

-[cell phone chimes] -Am I right?

BE CAREFUL

Hey!

-Am I right? -Yes.

[Manuel] Come on, my son is a heck of a guy.

And he doesn't get scared by anything. By any-thing!

Luna, sweetie.

Did you know what was happening to your brother?

About his powers?

Pow-- What? What powers?

Before the accident, he said he could make himself invisible.

And why would he want to make himself invisible?

To take on the Gracks.

-The-- -[Luna] The Gracks.

-Oh. -And their boss, Virus. Come on.

But no matter where he goes, they always end up finding him.

[♪ indie rock music playing, Pixies "Where Is My Mind?"]

[psychologist] Why don't you tell me a bit more about your… your invisibility?

[Capi] I had found my power.

[teacher] So today, we're going to talk about prehistory…

[Capi] Now, I just had to practice to be able to disappear whenever I wanted.

[teacher] It is the period in which humans

and their predecessors lived without writing,

which prohibited them from recording the events of their own history…

[Capi] And for that, I had to test it out in front of the ones who hurt me the most.

…and the emergence of writing.

[Capi] The good thing about being invisible

was that no one bothered me anymore.

♪ Where is my mind? ♪

[Capi] They didn't hit me, didn't spit on me, didn't laugh at me.

I could go out to recess or head home in peace

without having to constantly watch my back.

♪ Way out in the water… ♪

[Capi] The downside of being invisible

is that you also can't be seen by the person you want to see you.

[Kiri] No, that was… That was…

-We'll see, we'll see. -♪ I was swimmin' in the Caribbean ♪

♪ Animals were hidin' behind the rock ♪

♪ Except the little fish Bump into me, swear he's tryin'… ♪

[Capi] The problem is that I've never fully managed to control my power.

[Luna] Hi.

♪ Where is my mind? Where is my mind? ♪

[Capi] Or at least not with everyone.

♪ Way out… ♪

You can see me?

[Luna] Of course. Why?

[♪ song concludes]

Never mind.

I don't understand. Let's see, when…

when they could see you again…

why didn't you make yourself invisible?

It's a superpower, you can use it whenever you want, right?

What's the matter?

It wouldn't always work.

-How come? -I don't know.

I couldn't become invisible when I needed it the most.

It's like Spider-Man.

Sometimes the superhero loses their powers.

Then the villain takes the opportunity to attack.

[indistinct chatter]

Guys, have you seen Capi?

No way, dude, no, we haven't seen him.

[indistinct chatter]

[♪ soft menacing music playing]

[MM] What's up, Zaro?

We're gonna go to the park. You wanna come and have a drink?

I can't, dude. I have to train.

Let me see, do I need to repeat myself?

Either you're with me, or you're against me.

No, no, dude. I'm with you, of course. To the death.

That's what I like.

[breathes heavily]

[detective] Now, you're very close with Jairo, Nacho, and MM, aren't you?

[♪ music fades]

No.

[detective] Well, that's not what they say in the hallways.

Are you hiding something, Zaro?

[Zaro] With all my red mana, I give plus seven, plus zero

to my commander, Inferno of the Star Mounts.

He attacks you with his fire breath!

-[chuckles] -You know what's coming.

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

I just ate 20 points of damage.

-[scoffs] Man, that's like 20 suns, dude. -[chuckles]

I wish I had a card like this one for the championship.

Yeah, it's a shame I have it.

[both chuckle]

-Come on! Lose some life, dummy. -[♪ music fades]

[Magic player] And I tap… Boom!

Green mana.

[indistinct chatter]

[Magic player] Hello?

-Hey, dummy. -Yeah, sorry.

Selesnya Guildmage.

You can't block me, and I'm dealing 18 points of damage.

You're dead.

[Magic player sighs] You're gonna need

to get a stronger commander, huh?

[Zaro] I had one.

And what happened?

I gave it to a friend.

-[indistinct chatter] -[Magic player scoffs]

[door opens, closes]

[dishes clinking]

-[Zaro] Hello? -[Delia] Zaro, sweetie!

Did you hear that Capi has been discharged from the hospital?

-He's at home now. -[dishes clinking]

[Delia] You're gonna go visit him, right?

[Manuel] Do we really need to keep feeding all this drama?

-[Delia] What happened? -[Manuel] Nothing.

They've set up a meeting

for parents and students with the entire school staff.

They say it's important for us to go to prevent another possible incident,

blah, blah, blah-- Nonsense, that's what it is.

They should have done their job.

Wouldn't you have done something? Huh?

If you had known they were bullying your friend,

-would you have done something or not? -Of course, he would have.

Come on. You would've blown up at them, right son? Wouldn't ya? Huh?

-[laughs] Come on. What a mess, man. -[♪ soft ominous music playing]

[Manuel] The teachers, the psychologist, the principal, everyone and their mother,

and now the parents have to fix the problem.

[Nacho] We're gonna get caught.

-[Jairo] No way. Get caught how? -[Nacho] What do you mean, how?

They've called a meeting with the parents and us.

Why call the meeting?

'Cause they're crybabies, that's why they're doing it.

[Nacho] I'm being serious here, man. What's all this about?

And what will they ask us? What if there are cops?

[Jairo] Don't be a chicken! We haven't done anything, period.

Have you seen MM?

[Jairo] He hasn't come to school and I haven't spoken with him either.

[Nacho] He doesn't give a crap.

[Jairo] Well, that's that. If he doesn't give a crap, neither do we.

Besides, let him deal with this mess on his own.

He's the one to blame for everything!

[Nacho] Dude, if we don't go, it'll be worse.

We have to go.

-This is a mess. -And all this because of what Tomato did.

[scoffs] Good thing you left that loser behind.

You did the right thing, man.

Well, you do whatever you want.

I'm outta here.

[♪ music fades]

Look, if you cooperate with me, we can avoid the investigation

and prevent things from getting worse.

But if you don't cooperate,

we're going to have to dig deep to get to the bottom of this.

And no one knows better than you that this is not a good idea.

No, it's not. No.

-[♪ ominous instrumental music playing] -But you know what I think?

I think you've already decided to do it, and you're not going to stop.

[detective] Slow down!

Those awful scooters!

[♪ music fades]

-Hi. -Hi, Ana.

-How are you? -Good.

Ready?

-Yes. -Relax. Hmm?

Come on, let's go.

[indistinct chatter]

[teacher] If you want to come by, we can also review the…

Sorry, girls, let's talk about it another time, okay?

-Hi. -[♪ somber instrumental music playing]

Hi.

-I'm the mother of-- -Yes, I know.

You're his teacher, right?

-Yes. -[Ana] I need to know who did it.

I need to know who did this to my son.

[all laugh]

-[shushes] -[indistinct chatter]

-[♪ music builds] -[all laugh]

[Jairo whispers] No, dude.

[dragon growls]

[all laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

[all laugh]

-[MM laughs] -[chalk snaps]

-[MM] Hey! -[student] What's she doing?

-[♪ sinister instrumental music playing] -[door slams]

[dragon growls]

-Harder. So that he can't breathe. -No!

[dragon] Spit fire at him and tear off his skin.

-[teacher] I said no! -[dragon] Then what will you do, girl?

I don't know. I don't know!

[dragon growls] Strangle him. Finish him right here.

-I can't. -[dragon] Why? Why can't you?

You never had a chance like this all those years ago.

How many times have you asked yourself why no one did anything?

Why nobody stopped it in time?

Do you want the same thing to happen to that boy?

No, of course I don't!

[dragon growls]

Then put an end to the problem once and for all.

[pants]

-I can't. -[dragon] Why? Why can't you?

Because I'm not like you!

[dragon] For now…

[♪ music fades]

[Kiri speaks indistinctly] I know, but…

[Paula speaks indistinctly] That way, his parents won't lecture him.

-But the thing is after the-- -[Zaro] Kiri.

-We're gonna go now. -Yeah, huh?

-See you later, Kiri. -Bye.

So what's wrong with them now?

You see, they haven't liked you very much since you started hanging out

with the ones who pick on them.

-You going to the meeting? -Of course. Are you?

I don't know.

-My dad doesn't wanna go. -[Kiri] And your mom?

Well, my mom will do whatever my dad does.

-Is yours going? -Yeah.

We've been cowards.

-You know that, don't you? -I'm not a coward.

-You betrayed him. -That's not true, okay?

The thing is, they would've come after me just like they did with him.

-[chuckles] And not after me? -You, no, Kiri. You're a girl.

Since when do you talk like your dad?

[♪ soft pensive music playing]

[Kiri] He's been discharged.

Yeah.

I know.

So?

Why aren't you going to see him?

I've seen him.

He saved you.

Or have you forgotten?

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

-[Capi] Stop! -[Zaro] I can't stop!

-[Capi] Stop! -[Zaro] I can't!

[Capi] Jump!

-[Zaro] Hey! It won't brake! -[Capi] Jump!

Zaro, jump now!

Zaro, are you okay?

[Zaro groans]

[groans, coughs]

[pants]

[breathes heavily]

-I'm with you, okay? -[♪ music fades]

[pants]

[Capi] I'm with you.

[sobs]

I find out from my wife that a teacher has assaulted my son.

I come here and you ask me to be patient.

-Don't get me wrong, please. -Hey. No, no, no, no, no, no.

If you don't want me to get you wrong, be careful with what you say, okay?

I'm just asking you to be patient so that you can hear me out.

-[scoffs, chuckles] -We know how serious it is.

So serious that I'm gonna take you to court.

-You know who I am. -Please.

Listen to what the principal has to say, please.

Blanca, don't.

[principal] I ask you to trust me as the person responsible for this school

-before resorting to legal action. -[♪ soft ominous music playing]

[principal] In this high school, we do not tolerate violence,

whether from students or teachers.

I give you my word that this will never happen again.

[Luis] I certainly believe it won't happen again, that I know.

Let's go.

[♪ music fades]

[Luis] Yes. Yeah, tell me, what's up?

No, no, no. Don't do anything, okay? I'm coming. See you soon.

Now what, Miss?

[indistinct chatter in distance]

[MM] Let's see how you get out of this one.

What's that?

-[MM] Your free ride is over. -[♪ soft ominous music playing]

Nobody touches me. Got it? Is that clear?

[scoffs softly]

[knocking on door]

Come in and close the door.

Unacceptable, do you understand?

I don't know what you were thinking, and I don't care.

What you've done could pose a very serious problem for the school.

With all due respect,

the high school already has a serious problem with that kid.

And that gives you the right to assault him?

His father could destroy us if he wanted to.

-And do you know why? -[dragon growls]

Because you've given him an excuse.

And because he's well connected. So, don't play with fire.

If someone doesn't want to play with fire,

they should put it out while they still can.

Are you threatening me? Seriously?

I'm going to make it very clear so that there is no doubt.

Here, there are rules, and you will have to follow them.

The first one is, do not assault.

That should apply to everyone.

Do you realize the gravity of what you've done?

Do you know that this could end your career?

Don't make me add to the list of reasons for your expulsion.

Since I got here, I have tried to talk to you about this.

That boy is violent.

We need to do something before it's too late.

You've been here for two days. You have absolutely no idea.

Do you know anything about that boy?

Just stick to teaching.

COWARD

Who can tell me the meaning of this word?

-Oh, me, I know. A chicken. -[all laugh]

Pusillanimous.

Without the courage or spirit to face dangerous or risky situations.

-Pusi-what? -Shut up, Jairo.

[all chuckle]

What is a dangerous situation?

When you walk into the toilet right after Jairo.

Are you stupid, dude? You're so stupid.

-[all laugh] -Very funny, Nacho.

Imagine…

a warrior…

with a sword and a shield…

bumping into a squirrel in the middle of the road.

-Is that a dangerous situation? -[all] No.

And what if, instead of continuing to walk,

the warrior draws his sword…

and attacks?

Ow, poor squirrel.

What do you think?

Is he brave or a coward?

[all] A coward.

That wasn't a dangerous situation, was it?

Now, imagine…

this warrior keeps walking…

and a dragon suddenly appears…

and breathes a blaze of fire in his direction.

Is it a dangerous situation?

Oh, you bet!

If the warrior, instead of running away…

chooses to face the dragon…

-is he brave? -Brave and reckless, I'd say.

[all chuckle]

Maybe so, yes.

But we can all agree that it was a dangerous situation.

So, we can say that the way he reacted was courageous.

But, what if there is no dangerous situation?

If there's just a poor little squirrel walking happily through the field

and you decide to draw your sword and attack it?

Then you're a coward.

I mean, you're attacking someone who has done nothing to you.

Well, it also could be that the warrior…

thinks that it is a dangerous situation.

-Right, but is it? -No.

So?

What do you think?

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

That…

if he's scared of the squirrel, he's a coward.

And you?

Since you like talking so much, what do you have to say?

If you bumped into a squirrel that hasn't done anything to you,

what would you do?

What are you?

Brave or a coward?

[school bell ringing]

[indistinct chatter]

He's a coward.

MM.

-[♪ music fades] -[principal claps]

Your attention, please.

I think you know very well the reason for this meeting.

The school is going to conduct an investigation.

Excuse me, Principal.

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

The victim's mother has reported the case to the school board

so that action can be taken. That's why I'm here.

We need information.

We are going to do everything necessary to find out every detail of what happened.

As the investigator for the school, I am here to help.

And the first thing we need to do to prevent this from happening again

is to understand what happened.

And for that, we need your cooperation.

How?

[detective] By telling us everything you know.

Any student who has any information needs to come to the principal's office.

For like, an interrogation?

Any information you have, no matter how small, is of vital importance.

And please don't forget the meeting with the families tomorrow afternoon.

I don't want any absences. It's very important that you all be there.

Thank you, Arturo.

-[♪ music fades] -Well, you've all heard the principal.

Now, please, let's all head out and return to your respective classes.

[detective] The reality is that I'm here because you haven't done your job.

Now, there's even an interrogation. I'm not going to see the principal.

[indistinct chatter]

Paula told me that Capi's mom was here and caused a huge scene.

She wants to know who did this to him.

That's why they're investigating.

I thought it was strange. The principal doesn't do anything unless she's pushed.

[Izan] All of this is Capi's fault.

What did you say, dude?

DON'T REMAIN SILENT STOP BULLYING

I mean, I'm sorry about what happened to him.

But getting us involved in this…

it's not my fault that he's crazy.

Don't you ever say that!

[Kiri] Guys, guys, what are you doing? Stop!

[indistinct chatter]

Izan! Izan, wait!

[Kiri] What are you doing, Zaro?

-That won't solve anything. -And how do we solve it, huh?

By talking to the investigator.

The only one who has to talk to her is MM. And he's not gonna.

He won't even dare come back to school.

Then we'll go and tell her about it.

Kiri, that's not the way to solve things, okay?

Then how do they get solved? Huh? Go on, explain it to me.

His way.

MM, DUDE, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU

BUT KNOW THEY'RE INVESTIGATING YOU

[indistinct chatter]

What's the matter? Are you in love with me or something?

-You wish, Betty. -[Betty chuckles]

Ha!

At least I wouldn't treat you like crap.

Nor would I leave you alone with this mess.

[♪ soft pensive music playing]

[Kiri] Betty!

MM is evil.

[indistinct chatter]

-MM, Jairo, and Nacho. -[♪ music fades]

The three?

Did MM come to class today?

Hmm. No, no.

Nor yesterday.

Nor the day before yesterday. He's abandoned you.

I don't know, I… I haven't talked to him.

[detective] You say you don't hang out with Jairo, Nacho, or MM.

So then why have you stopped seeing your best friend?

I don't know.

[Ana] Honey…

Zaro is here.

How's it going, dude?

I brought you some card packs.

Aren't you gonna open them?

What for? I'm not gonna play anymore.

I just lost the championship.

Why didn't you help me?

If you'd helped me, none of this would've happened.

-I was scared. -Scared of what?

Of suffering what they were doing to me?

I was scared too. And I still am.

But friends help each other, you know?

They don't betray each other.

You abandoned me.

And you saw everything.

Everything they were doing to me. Every day.

And instead of helping me, you decided to join them.

If you had been in my place, you would've done the same thing as me.

I helped you.

I helped you when I had to do it.

[♪ somber instrumental music playing]

[footsteps receding]

[Nacho] What's the matter with him? Let's see.

[Jairo] Here he comes. [laughs]

-[MM] I told you he would come, didn't I? -[Nacho] Pretty, isn't it?

[laughs]

-Look. What's up, champ? -There he goes.

Jairo, make some room, come on.

[MM] Thank goodness you're here.

-Where were you? -[Nacho] Hey, what's up?

-[Jairo] Hey. Hey. -[Nacho] Come on.

[Zaro and Nacho chuckle]

[chuckles]

Good thing you're hanging out with us instead of Tomato, huh?

-Here go ahead, have some. -Hey, guys, I've been thinking.

What do you say we move up the Olympics a bit?

-Huh? -Where?

-Summer. At my pool. -Fine by me. I'm in, I'm in.

-In the garden, dude. [chuckles] -[Jairo] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Plus, we can tell Betty to bring her friends.

[Jairo] Chicks? [chuckles] Boom!

[Nacho] Zaro, what do you think? You like the plan or what? Zaro?

Zaro, are you listening?

-[MM] You in? -[Jairo] Say you're in, c'mon.

Yeah.

[MM] Okay. I'm not cool with it, but we gotta do something with the pool, dude.

If we don't, it's no fun.

-[chuckles] -[Nacho] I know.

[MM] Then there's nothing more to say, is there?

[Jairo] Hey, dude! Where were you?

What's wrong? Are you in a daze or what?

-[chuckles] -[♪ music fades]

-You beat it! -Hey! What are you doing?

-Where's MM? -No idea, man.

We already told you we don't know anything!

He must be at home, dude. How should we know?
