Spirits, I summon you.

Can you hear me?

Are you there?

Spirit, show yourself.

Who are you?

I'm Enriqueta.

Your milk is getting cold,
Miss.

Thank you.

Are you speaking with the dead?

I'm trying to contact the other side.

- Doesn't it scare you?
- No.

I just want to know
if a friend is well.

It's been a long time
since I've heard from him.

Might he be dead?

I don't know.

Oh, poor man.

What is your friend's name?

Julián.

Do you want to try?

Sit.

Put your hands here.

Spirit, will Julián return?

Si.

What else can you tell me?

- Are you moving it?
- No.

"Houdini"?

What's that?

No idea.

Sincronized and edited by Chitorafa.

A Time of Magic

"Houdini?"

I do not know anyone with that name.

- It sounds Italian, right?
- No, it's Houdini, Houdini.

I knew someone who
was called that.

But I don't think he's who you're looking for.

- Why not.
- Because.

He was a jewel thief. He was primo.

I mean, we couldn't catch him.

His name was... Antonio Pecharromán.

And why did they call him Houdini?

At the turn of the century there was a magician

that let himself be wrapped in chains

and put into a big fish tank
full of water.

And then he escaped.

Chained and under water,
my two worst nightmares together.

What else do you know about this magician.

Just a little. But, come on,
why do you want to know?

No, no reason.

It's Ernesto. Come on.

Madrid, 1924

Gather round, please.

Examine carefully this box.

I would like you to verify

that it is
completely closed.

There is no way humanly possible
to see inside

or to read the note it contains.

Marquis of Santa Cara.
Father of suspect under investigation.

A note
that our illustrious guest,

don Ramón Marís de Valle-Inclán,

has graciously
written for the occasion.

Isn't that so, Don Ramón?

Trust me. I wrote it myself
in the next room over.

It's time to introduce

the incredible man
with X-ray eyes,

my esteemed son,
Joaquín María Argamasilla.

Good day, everyone.

Good day.

- Suspect under investigaton

Father.

Mr. Valle-Inclán.

Gentlemen, please.

It is an honor to have
such a prominent figure here with us today.

Doctor Ramón y Cajal, welcome.

- Nobel Prize
in Medicine (1906)

We will proceed
to cover your eyes.

Son, the box is in front of you.

Thank you, Father.

"Ma... Max.

Re... Read

me...

the...

letter from...

Buey...

Apis...

again.
- Incredible!

- Is that what you wrote, Don Ramón?
- That's it.

The first sentence
of my "Bohemian Lights"

"Max. Read me the letter from
Buey Apis again."

I think that today
we've made another believer.

Stop it a moment,
please.

I'm surprised that people
like Valle-Inclán and Ramón y Cajal

attended events like that one.

Since when is this Ministry
interested in magicians?

Since that magician
is a Minsitry agent.

Oh, but, this Ministry
recruits magicians?

Yes, and not just any one.

Argamasilla is a star agent
in the first half of the 20th century.

He was recruited for his natural
intelligence, his intuition...

and his strong power of suggestion.

A used car salesman, c'mon.

Does he also sell motorcycles?

Your team mate is referring to
something else with the used car salesman.

Of course, with his dermo-optical perception
there's no case he can't solve.

- His "dermo-" what?
- He can see inside bodies.

Yes, of course, and he can take x-rays.
Man, please, it's a trick.

Only God can do that.

Fine, they haven't called us
to find out if its a trick or not.

The Ministry in 1924
sent us this video

because they suspect that Argamasilla
could be planning something shady

having to do with this man.

I am the owner of..

Go on...

Do you manage the man with
the x-ray eyes?

Indeed. I'm his father.

I am going to introduce you to Mr. Gromek.

Circus Owner
Suspect

Mister Argamasilla,
it's a great pleasure.

The pleasure is mine.

Gromak isn't just
a circus owner.

He also works with
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

- The famous FBI?
- Exactly.

Although it was called something
different back then.

Here's the proof.

You'll recognise the name of its director,

J. Edgar Hoover.

- Who's that?
- That guy? He is one shady dude.

The 1924 Ministry
fears that Argamasilla's trip

doesn't have as much to do
with the shows

as it does with Hoover

finding out the Ministry's secret.

But that's very serious.

I'm surprised that information
found it's way to you before me.

Everything that has to do with
internal affairs

is discussed between
the heads of logistics

at the different Ministries.

It's... office procedure.

Ok. Fine, let's get to the point.

You're saying that Argamasilla
could reveal our secret?

Argamasilla and Gromek have been
caught meeting a few times

before this one you
are seeing here.

What do you propose we do?

Travel to New York with Argamasilla
and watch him at all times.

But Argamasilla doesn't know us.
He will be suspicious.

Amelia, gentlemen,

you have to travel to the year 1924.

Your mission is to avoid
the Ministry of Time

becoming property
of the United States and the FBI.

There are times when changing the past
will create a much worse world.

And this is one of them.

Go to a witchcraft session...
There are missions I do not understand.

It's not witchcraft, it's spiritualism.

- Is there a difference?
- Many.

Do you truly believe that
this whats-his-face has powers?

X-rays in his eyes...
Come on, don't screw with me.

I don't know.

Are you telling me that there are people

that can read minds, that can
talk to ghosts...?

- Yes.
- Man,

talking to the dead is easy.

The kicker is
getting them to talk back.

A few months ago, time travel
seemed like a fantasy, too.

And look at you now.

Well, you've got me there.

There's nothing more ridiculous
than a guy in a cape.

Well I like it.

Thank you, Susana, for the warning.

Hoover could be
a serious enemy

for Darrow and for you.

It the FBI discovers
a way to time travel

the United States government
will end your Ministry

and it will be my buisness.

Or worse:

they'll nationalize it

Do what you need to do.

But the secret
of time travel

can not fall
into the wrong hands.

And much less under my tenure
in this ministry.

It's a shame that my agents

can't work together
with yours.

It's still too soon, I guess.

We have to keep our distance.

But as you all say,

"todo se andará."

Excuse me. I'll call you later.

How many times have I told you
to knock before entering?

I'm sorry.

I brought you the overtime for this month.

Leave it on the table. I'll look at it later.

- And Angustias.
- Yes.

The next time you enter without knocking,

I'll send you crawling back
to the time you came from.

It's not that hard.

- Sir, there are some gentlemen here that..
- Mister Argamasilla.

We're from the magazine
"The Revelation".

My name is Amelia Folch,
I'm a journalist,

- and this is Alonso, my photographer.
- Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry, but I was expecting
someone else,

- a Melitón Pérez.
- That's me.

I use a masculine pseudonym,
you know how it is.

Well we're just missing one guest,
a new clairvoyent.

- We'll have to start without him.
- I'm here.

Excuse the delay.

If I could only divine
when it will rain in this city.

You are...

You've invited the Great Benito.

- Who?
- The Great Benito.

We've also done an article on him
in our magazine. Look, look.

Mmhm.

Nice picture.

That is mine. It's mine, yes.

Is your son here?
I would like to meet him.

Yes, yes, of course. He's there, inside
with Josefa, the Hairdresser.

- A Hairdresser?
- The one and only. Do you know her?

I've heard talk of her.

I thought you weren't coming.

What do you want?

Before I covered you
with that stuff about internal affairs

being handled by the logistic heads
of each ministry.

That's the rules.

Yes.

Well you can't
send the team

without speaking privately with
the Ministry subsecretary.

That's also in the rules.

We can't keep mistrusting
each other, Ernesto.

Tell that to Salvador.

He trusted you
and look how you repayed him.

Salvador...
made very serious mistakes.

More serious that infecting the
entire Ministry with the Spanish flu?

Look, Irene.

God knows that I'm happy
you're still alive.

- Well I'm not, you know?
- I wish I would have died

and not those that got infected
so that I could be saved.

That's a burden I
will carry all my life.

But we have to
move on, damn it.

Where is
your sense of discipline?

She is our boss.

Or is it just that you can't stand
having a woman in charge?

Incompetence is like...

intelligence, kindness,
stupidity or greed.

None of them have a gender.

Your father forgives you.

Where he is

he is at peace.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You.

Me?

Your aura.

Aura? What Aura?

Yes, your aura.

The aura is a powerful force.

Come here, child.

I see...

I see two men...

I see a problem.

Much unrest.

A crossroads.

And a death.

Mine?

I also see something.

- Look at that guy.
- To just show up like this...

he's not right in the head.

Listen. What are you doing? Let me.

Let him. He's the Great Benito.

- No.
- Benito? Where did he come from?

No.

The girls are not in Moncloa,

or El Pardo,

as you've told their parents.

No.

You lied to the police.

The girls
from Hilarión Eslava street...

are not alive.

He's talking about the case
of the missing girls.

The girls are dead.

They are very close to their house.

In the garbage dump...

on Cea Bermúdez street.

- We have to go there.
- We must go there and confirm it.

I will take charge myself.

I'll call the Police chief.

The Valle coronel
is a good friend.

Do not leave here,
either of you.

I'm warning you, young man.

If this is just
a bad joke

I will see you thrown
in jail myself.

But if he's telling the truth,

it will be you going to jail.

Have you heard anything from the team?

No, not yet.

It is a slap-dash plan.

Ernesto should have
told me about it earlier.

I know.

Well you sure did back him up.

We can't turn every meeting into a battle.

I've been too indulgent
with Ernesto.

When this mission is over
I'll transfer him out of this Ministry.

You... you can't do that.

It's for the best.

He stopped the
flu crisis.

Oh, of course,
and let Doctor Vargas escape.

He wasn't the only one
that made a mistake.

... to make my
intertemporal health card.

- I did everything to save your life.
- At the cost of other lives

and putting the Ministry in danger.
I'm not worth all that.

You're worth it to me.

And now, so you can relax,
I'm inviting you to dinner.

Again?

And again and again.

Did you really have to pretend
to be a clairvoyant?

- Relax.
- Oh, the police.

You know what you
have to do.

No, no, no. No, no.

No, no. I...

I haven't done anything.

You've committed the worst kind of crime.

You'v made money

off the pain
of those poor parents.

No, no.

The three girls are dead.

Angelita and the two Marías.

Now all we have left
is to investigate the cause.

I'll fo the autopsies myself.

I take my hat off to you, sir.

Please, Doctor.

And for our dinner date
do we have to time travel?

It's the only way to get
a table in this restaurant.

Wow, what a gal. Where are you taking me?

- To eat at El Bulli.
- Ah.

In 2002.

Come on, let's go.

To the Great Benito.

And the no less great Argamasilla.

Your demonstration has been astonishing.

- Can you give me a minute?
- Of course.

I'd like to interview you.

I'm working on
the Spiritual Encyclopedia

- and you should be in it.
- Oh, I would love to.

But it will have to wait.

I'm leaving for New York in a few days
with my new friends.

I'm searching for... other countries,

other worlds, people...
who are more spiritually open.

I couldn't have said it better.

And we will do
an article on your trip.

What a shame we didn't know that before.
You could have traveled with my son.

I don't like him to travel alone.

But my son has
insisted this time.

Please,
I'm a grown man already, father.

Are you traveling to New York also?

Yes, Yes, yes.

Next week I'll board a ship
in Cherburgo, the... Leviathan.

What a name.

- Excuse me.
- Leviathan?

We're traveling
on that ship, too.

What a coincidence.

Yes, it almost seems like magic.

You still haven't told us
the reason for your trip to New York.

A great buisnessman wants...

the United States
to meet our Argamasilla.

And you won't belive this.

I've just heard the news,

the great Houdini has challenged him
to demonstrate his powers.

Houdini?

The greatest magician and escape artist
of all time.

His last stunt was magnificant.

They wrapped him in chains,

then put him in a straight jacket

and locked him in a trunk.

Only an insane person would let
that be done to him willingly.

And he managed to escape?

In only five minutes.

Houdini might be a great escape artist.

but he will have to recognise

the talent of our
man with the x-ray eyes.

Thank you, Don Ramón,
for believing in my powers.

I'm Galecian, for the love of God!

How could I not believe
in th power of "meigas"?

I'm sure that you are going to teach

them all a lesson -
that hack Houdini

and all those boorish North
Americans.

Spain needs young people
like you,

heroes to show the world

that this is not just
a country of fury and tears,

a cage of wailing women and death shrouds,

a monstrosity,

the deformed reflection
of what it should be.

That is what our homeland is today.

I think that it is time for you
to tell us what is going on with Houdini.

This morning you asked about him
and now we're going to meet him.

I was playing with a "planchette"
and his name appeared.

- A "plan" what?
- "planchette"

a device to communicate
with the spirits.

A Ouija?

- Is that what it's called now?
- Yes

My grandma forbade me to use it.

She said it was a gateway
for bad spirits.

Your grandmother
was a very wise woman.

Have you had this kind
of premonition before?

I do not like this mission one bit.

A soldier like you
is afraid of ghosts?

I fear them more than the living.

The living can be killed
if they attack you.

Spirits can not.

Here are your tickets.

What an expense.

The only had special first class
rooms left.

Congratulations, Pacino.

From what I've heard,
you were brilliant

in uncovering that fake clairvoyant.

Yes, how did you know that story?

Well, my father was a policeman,
my grandfather, too.

I've hard that story
at home, in the academy...

An important case for forensics
in Spain.

- And did they catch whoever killed them?
- No one killed them.

They were playing around some junk
and they went inside a hole

and couldn't find their way out.

- Poor girls.
- Yeah.

Well, best be getting
your suitcases ready.

You have a long trip ahead.

(train whistle)

(ship horn)

Have we almost arrived?

I would give anything
to have my feet back on solid ground.

You can't even see anything.

There it is.

America.

The Indies.

Hotel Pennsylvania.

- It's wonderful.
- A work of art.

I hope that the elevator works
better than the one in the Ministry.

Welcome to the Hotel Pennsylvania.
May I help you?

Could you take my luggage, please?
It's too heavy for me.

- Of course
- Thank you.

That women
never stops surprising me.

Well I understood everything.

Well, except for that last part.

They're old friends of your,
right?

I wouldn't call them friends.

I'm glad to hear you say that.

Here's all the information
you'll need.

I have a question.

The answer is yes, you are authorized.

If at any time our secret
seems compromised,

you should use any method
at your disposal.

Well, well, well, Argamasilla.
Here we are.

Two great clairvoyants
sharing a room

and in the capital of the world
no less.

Yes.

Well, what? Should we take a look around?

At another time.
Mr. Gromek is expecting me.

Perfect. I'll go with you
and after we'll have a few beers.

I'm afraid that this country,
enforces a Dry Law, Benito.

And if you don't mind,
I'd rather go alone.

- Buisness talk, you know.
- Yeah, sure.

- Joaquín
- Yes?

I would like to ask you a question.

- Is it important? Like I said...
- Yes.

Go on.

Supposedly you can
see through objects.

- Right?
- That's what they say, yes.

Yeah.

Could you tell me

what Amelia is doing
behind that wall?

Benito my friend

having powers doesn't mean
you stop being a gentleman.

- Joaquín.
- Yes?

You are a role model.

- If you'll excuse me...
- Please.

Just one microphone.

I see that Ministry
still spares no expense.

My turn.

The Empire State Building
is the tallest building in the world.

102 stories.

- 102 stories?
- My daughters were born there.

- Oh!
- Excuse me.

No, relax, think nothing of it.

Bond? James Bond?

No, Argamasilla.
Joaquín Argamasilla.

Oh, aren't you English?

He's confused you with an Englishman.

Ah. No, no, no. Me, Spanish.
Mucho Spanish. From Spain.

- Eh... Spain.
- Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Fine, fine. Thank you.

- Was he a little drunk?
- I don't think so.

Alcohol is prohibited here.

It's astounding.

Yes.

I feel like I could touch
the sky with my hands.

What a shame we have to work.

There is so much to discover
in this city...

May I?

- And Argamasilla?
- Gone to his meeting with Gromek.

- You let him go alone?
- Yes, but I planted a microphone

that I got from Ernesto.
Latest technology.

The plan wasn't to go with him
and tip him off.

- Good thinking.
- Thank you.

"Super"

Hello.
Password?

"Swordfish".

But, isn't alcohol
prohibited?

There are always classes,
Argamasilla my friend.

There's Mr. Hoover.

Mr. Argamasilla,

let me introduce my boss.

My name is J. Edgar Hoover

It's a great honor to finally
meet the man with the x-ray eyes.

What...? What did...? What...?

He said it's an honor
to meet the man with the x-ray eyes.

Sit down, please.

We want you to help us fight evil.

Who does this guy think
he is, Magneto?

Worse than that.

The X-Men are comic book characters,
this guy's for real.

That's not it, huh?

This isn't right. That or they're
singing Jesus Christ Superstar.

Let me?

- But that's gospel.
- And what's that?

A religious style of music
sung by people of color.

Are you sure you put the
microphone on Argamasilla?

Yes.

Yes.

We know about your gift, Argamasilla.

Tomorrow one of
our best agents,

Mr. Houdini,

will confirm your powers.

We just want to be sure.

You will not disappoint us,
will you?

We hope that you don't let us down.

I won't.

This is getting complicated.

Yes. We have to take action.

I've thought of an idea,

an offer that Argamasilla
won't refuse.

Argamasilla must have known
that you put the microphone on him.

Oh, yeah, now he's got powers
the weasel, c'mon.

You shouldn't have let him go alone.

Where are you going?

I fucked it up,
I'll fix it by myself.

On second thought, I might need
a little help.

Amelia.

Would you mind
being my translator,

please?

Are you sure you do not
want me to accompany you?

- Have you ever screwed up?
- Many times.

When you did it,
did you ask anyone to help you?

Never.

That boy looks like a Phoenician.

The taxí will take you
to where Argamasilla went.

There's a password written here.

It's Swordfish,
you need it to get in.

Amelia, you're fantastic.

The Great Benito?

- I've never heard of him
- Well he's amazing.

I've seen him solve a crime
by just touching someone's head.

- He came with me to New York.
- Incredible.

I would like to meet him.

Well you're going to meet him right now.
If they let him in, of course.

How did he know we're here?

It's not easy to get a drink
in this city.

An honor, Great Benito.

I am...

Although I don't need
to introduce myself.

By just touching my head
you'll know who I am.

Show him what you're worth, Benito.

It's just that it comes and goes, you know?

Benito...

Fine.

You are Gromek

- and you own the great Gromek circus.
- Nice to meet you.

Benito, I've already told you that.
Tell us something else, go on.

Well, I don't
want to be indiscrete.

Don't worry, I'm begging you.

I get chills...

they're multiplying.

I see...

two girls,

Ana and Rosaura,

- just like her mother, poor girl.
- My daughter?

No, your wife.

She died.

Damn.

You've gotten remarried.

To the contortionist in your circus.

Amazing!

I think I'll stop here.

- No, no. Why? What have you seen?
- Well, I've seen a secret.

And I respect secrets.

Having powers doesn't mean
you stop being a gentleman.

Well, eh... how about that drink?

He shouldn't have gone alone.

He doesn't speak English
or know the city.

But he knows how to take care of himself.

You look like a loving wife
yearning for the return of her husband.

What nonsense are you spouting,
Alonso?

Why do all men think
that we women

have love or marriage as our
only goals in life?

- In my time it was that way.
- In mine many of us fought

so that it would no longer be that way,
and I was among the first.

And I respect that.
I do not understand you, but I respect you.

What more can you ask
from someone like me?

So this is Houdini.

Yes, an incredible man.

He didn't just know how to get out
of any shackels or chains,

he was also a great magician. One day,
at the Hippodrome Theater in New York,

he covered a 5,000 kilo
elephant with a tarp,

aimed a rifle at it,
shot, and...

- He killed it.
- No, he made is disappear.

He never revealed how.

- Poor man.
- Poor man?

Why do you pity him
if he had such powers?

Under it all
he was a tortured soul.

After the death of his mother,

he became obsessed with
contacting her.

A spiritualist
offered to help him.

And he accepted?

Spiritualism started
to become fashionable in my time.

But I've read that,
after the First World War,

it became a social phenomenon.

There were so many dead

that thousands of families
dreamed of communicating with them.

The session
was at the house of Conan Doyle,

the creator of Sherlock Holmes.

- Another magician?
- No.

A famous author.

His wife, Jean,
was the spiritualist.

For one instant,
he believed in the impossible,

that is was his deceased mother
who was writing to him.

But he soon realised it was a trick.

Everything was written in English.

She was Hungarian,
and never spoke English.

Im very disappointed in you, Mr. Doyle.

Disgusting.

She didn't call him Harry,
his stage name, either.

His mother always called him Erik.

To hear it from his mother's lips
was all that Houdini longed for.

After that he became obsessed with...
unmasking every charlatan

who took advantage
of people's pain.

In reality, his objective
was to find someone

wo truly had powers.

- To speak with his mother?
- And his wife.

They were both the great loves
of his life.

Houdini promised his wife

that he would try to communicate with her
after her death.

Like a guardian angel.

So that no false clairvoyant
would deceive him

he gave her an 8-word code

that deciphered said,
"Rosabelle believe".

Rosabelle believe.

A secret phrase
so that the magician would not be deceived.

Was he ever able to
make contact with his wife?

No, nor with his mother.

What a sad story.

Work for a foreign government?

I don't know, I prefer to go my own way.

Better to be a big fish
in a small pond.

We could be big fish in a big pond,
if you want.

I have a secret that could change
world history.

- A secret?
- Mmhm.

What's the secret?

You can see through
objects, through clothes?

That's not a secret.
I came to New York

- to reveal that to the whole world.
- No, that's not the secret.

Well then, what is?

Fine, if you don't want to tell me,
it's cool, yeah?

I'm not going to tell you.

Why would I waste my breath if
you can find out by touching my head?

May I?

Please, go ahead.

You can travel in time?

Spain...

Spain has a ministry
where they travel throughout history?

You are amazing.

Who would I tell such
an incredible secret to?

The American government.

The Americans?

The world is changing, Benito.
Europe is bleeding

and Spain is still reliving
it's glorious past.

Without the United States
the Great War would never have ended.

With our powers and the
possibility of time travel

- we could change history.
- No...

Benito, Benito,
listen to me, listen.

Imagine if democracy had
existed since...

since the Middle Ages?

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

After all the trouble I went through
to learn the names of all our kings.

- I don't know what to say.
- No, don't say anything, think on it.

Don't say anything.
Consult with your pillow.

Anyway, I'm not going to force you
to decide.

If I'm fighting for freedom,
I won't impose on yours.

Let's go back to the hotel.
Tomorrow will be a great day.

Damn, Clark Gable.

- I'm sorry, who is that?
- He's... Well, he will be

a great actor.

"Gone with the Wind",
write that down.

Clark Gable.

And he knew that
just by bumping into him.

Whew, that guy is fabulous.

Exactly, open, go through,
and then you're in another time.

I don't know, I though
that time travel

- was more...
- No, no.

My God, it's my father.

"Tomorrow show the world
how fake you are.

If you beat Houdini,

your father will die."

They're going to kill my father.

- It's us.
- One moment, please.

What's happening?

- They're threatening to kill your father?
- Yes.

I don't know who would be capable
of such savagery.

- What should I do?
- You should call your dad,

surely he's fine.

Ah, yes, yes, it would be best if...

- I go call him.
- Stop him. He does have powers.

If you don't let me leave here,
I'll make a scene.

- No you won't.
- Why not?

- That's why.

His face changed
when he saw the suitcase.

In 1924 there were no books like this
written in Spanish.

No, no one can
see through things.

- Only God can do that.
- Okay, okay.

When he wakes up,
we'll find out, yeah?

- Who are you?
- We're agents

from the 2016 Ministry of Time.

You have a very pretty freckle
on your left breast.

It doesn't matter if you cover yourself.

And you, a scar on
your right side.

A stab wound?

By the way, you've been blessed.

Don't try to impress them
with your powers.

You're a fantastic actor, you know that?

I thought you were my friend.

Coming from the future, you read up
on all the people you might run into.

- Bravo.
- I'm a cop, it's my job.

Gentlemen, let's get to the point.

We don't have anything
to do with that stuff about your father.

We've advised the 1924 Ministry
and he's in a safe place.

Well then, who wants
to kill my father?

I don't have proof,
but I think I know who.

- Darrow?
- Exactly.

If Hoover finds our
about the Ministry,

- they'll be out of buisness.
- Who are you talking about?

It is a private company
that organizes trips in time.

We have run into them
a few times.

- And they are Americans?
- Yes, yes.

Americans, Americans, Americans.

What is it with the Americans?
Do the Americans do everything right?

Yes, yes, movies, Frank Sinatra,
Stevie Wonder, all totally bitchin'

but the Americans,
they've got their problems too, yeah?

Just so you know, the United States
will save Europe again

in the Second World War,

but in exchange,
they'll invent the atomic bomb

and launch it over Japan.
Thousands killed

or affected by the radiation
for life.

- No, that's not true.
- That Hoover, the one you want to tell

the Ministry's secret to,
he'll persecute the blacks,

anyone who defends
civil rights,

- and all those that don't share his opinions.
- Put the Ministry in his hands

and you can forget about your dreams
of democracy and freedom.

Every country has it's sewer, my friend.

- I want proof of all that.
- Yes, yes.

When we return to the Ministry.

First we have to be sure
that you'll keep our secret

and that tomorrow
you won't demonstrate your powers.

Houdini Defies Man With X-ray Eyes

I'd like to thank the
representatives

of the main newspapers
of the city

for attending this event.

I'm going to put
these five feathers

in five of these ten wooden boxes.

One per box.

Mister Argamasilla

has been blindfolded
and has to point out

which boxes contain a feather.

He says that he'll put five feathers
in five of the ten boxes.

Argamasilla has to say
which boxes they're in.

Four...

...and five.

...I'll procede to close the boxes.

Mister Argamasilla
may take the stage.

Well done.

- But, what is he doing?
- Oh my God.

He's trying to pretend
he doesn't have powers.

If he doesn't find any,
it will be like he's done it on purpose.

Any one of us, statistically,
would guess the right boxes half the time.

Now you will discover the fourth box...

I did not understand any of that.

This is your fifth and final oppotunity,
Mr. Argamasilla.

Find one, for the love of God.

A photo, sir.

Sit here, please.

Mister Houdini.

Well, not one.

Excuse me, young man, I would like
to have a word with you personally.

Our problems aren't
over yet.

I, I don't speak... English, no...

Don't worry,
I'll interpret.

I don't understand at all.
Houdini congratulated me.

- and wants to continue working with me.
- What did he say?

That he was pleased to meet
the man with the x-ray eyes.

Gromek told me
that I'm the perfect spy.

that I had proven my powers
to him

and had hidden them
from the journalists.

This is going to be a bitch.
You could have guessed one.

I'm sorry, truly, I'm sorry,
but I've never in my life

had to take on
such a big responsibility.

Leave him alone. He's lived
through enough for one day.

- He's nervous and I understand.
- Thank you.

And that's not all.

On top of it all they want to have
a small party to celebrate.

That party is our opportunity.

Argamasilla can not
leave there alive.

- Well then, what should we do?
- Leave here like a bat out of hell.

Impossible,
Gromek will have told Hoover

and he'll have men watching.

- We have no way to escape.
- We have one.

Houdini.

How will you convince him?

By offering him
what he wants most in this world.

I'll send a telegram
to the 1924 Ministry

to inform them of our situation.
You all, stay here.

Smart girl.

Don't turn around, Amelia.
They can't see us together.

They're going to kill Argamasilla
this afternoon.

There's no time to lose.

Count to ten and follow me.

Let me see if I understand.
Now you work for Darrow,

but you don't want your new
employer to kill Argamasilla.

Exactly. I don't want
any innocents to die.

I have ethics, you know?
My own kind, but I have them.

How can I know you aren't lying to me?

Sometimes you remind me of
myself when I was young.

But when you ask stupid
questions like that,

- you really disappoint me.
I disappoint you?

Whenever I've run into you,
you've done nothing but lie to me.

I didn't lie to you about Dalí.
I wasn't guilty,

but they imprisioned me for life
in that 11th century castle.

How did you escape from there?

Why hasn't the Ministry
advised us about it?

Because Susana Torres let me out.

I don't believe you.

Susana Torres is working with Darrow.

She gave the order for Irene
to set me free

and she put me
in contact with them.

Irene is involved?

With Darrow, I don't know,
but with Susana yes.

She was her spy
to bring down Salvador.

Amelia, I'm risking my life
to save that poor clairvoyant.

There's no time to lose.

The telegram you're
sending to the Ministry

can not reach Susana.

- Is Ernesto still at the Ministry?
- Yes.

Fine, send it to him.

He'll know what to do.

And be careful this afternoon.
Bennet is dangerous.

Oh, by the way,
you haven't even had the courtesy

to tell me how cute
I am as a blond.

Angustias.

Why all the secrecy?
What do you want to tell me?

A telegram arrived
from the 1924 Ministry.

It's from Amelia and for you.

They told me to give it to you
in secret. Is it serious?

Very.

Ernesto, I have to speak with you.

- It's urgent.
- I also want to speak with you.

Well let's go
where no one can watch us.

I swear I've never had
anything to do with Darrow.

You didn't know that Susana
was working with them?

That's what I wanted to tell you.

Last night I was in bed,
and I couldn't sleep.

Did you look at her phone?

I thought you would be surprised
that I'm sleeping with her.

Woman, some things are obvious,

by how she looks at you, how she talks to you,

by how she put the entire Ministry
in danger to save you.

A little less sarcasm, please,
I don't find it the least bit funny.

Why did you suspect her?

Her lifestyle.

The gifts she gave me.

The subsecretary's salary
isn't enough for all that.

How did you get into her phone?

Why would you ask me that?

In all the tv shows that I see
anyone can just grab someone else's phone

gets into it as though they know the password,
I can't stand it.

I know Susana's password.

It's the date of our first time.

This must be hard for you.

That doesn't matter now, Ernesto.
We have to intervene.

And we have to do it now.

Well, well, now it's you
that needs my help.

Don't make this any harder,
please.

If you think that I'm not going to
enjoy this moment,

- you don't know me at all.
- I'm sorry.

No,
that doesn't sound very convincing.

We can do this all afternoon,

but your sarcasm won't make
me feel any worse than I already do.

Please, let me remind you
that we have an active mission

and that I urgently
need to use the bathroom.

Could we leave the personal stuff until later?

Ernesto, always so pragmatic.

The problem is that we don't have
any proof of what you're telling me.

Our only witness is Lola,
a fugitive from our own jail.

With your help, Irene, by the way.

I'll accept responsibility for whatever you want.

With regards to proof,

it won't be the first time
that we take action without having it.

You know
we always find it along the way.

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Fine, the time has come
for our friends in 1924

to lend us a hand.

- Relax, nothing will happen to you here.
- You're very optimistic.

- If you could see what I see...
- What do you see?

Besides the waiters,
everyone's carrying a pistol.

- I'm going to talk to Houdini.
- No, no, no.

He's talking to Gromek.

- Keep alert.
- Do not worry.

We'll split up
so we can watch the room better.

To better keep control.

- Excuse me, might I have
a word with you?

- Of course.

- Do you mind?

- Please...

- go on.

- Rosabelle believe.

How... how do you?

That's a secret between my wife and me.

There's no time to explain.

Do you want to see your mother again?

Houdini's gone pale.

What could she have said to him?

Thank you.

Surrender or taste my steel.

- Don't drink!
- And why not?

We know that waiter.

Well he's the only one that has a pistol.

Act natural.

Follow me.

What the hell?

- Well, what should we do?
- Leave here like a bat out of hell.

Impossible,
Gromek will have told Hoover

and he'll have men waiting.

We have no way to escape.

We have one.

Houdini.

How will you convince him?

By offering him what he...

Offering him what he wants
most in this world.

One minute.

I have lived this before.

Yes, it's "déjá vu".

- Déjá what?
- Yeah, an... "already seen"

I do not know what you are saying.

The thing is that we have traveled
backward in time a few hours

and without the need for doors.

- Let's go.
- Shit!

There's no time to lose, gentlemen.

How the devil did he do it?

Didn't I tell you
to knock before entering?

It's just that it's urgent.

An alert from the 1924 Ministry.

What's happened?

It seems that
the yankees intercepted

Argamasilla before they set sail.
Ameila doesn't know what to do.

The team is waiting for instructions.

Fine, I'll take care of it.

Leave me alone.

- Yes.
- Argamasilla has been captured

- by the American government.
- What are you talking about?

Your agents are crossing
the Atlantic at this very moment.

I've just been informed
that everything is fine.

The FBI still doesn't know about

the existence
of the time doors.

I think the time has come, Susana,
for you to stop reading reports.

I won't allow you to
speak to me that way.

I'm your boss.

For a few more minutes.

Everything has been recorded.

I never expected this from you.

I've helped you, I've believed in you.

I saved your life.

Yes.

And you're very good in bed.

But you have one defect, Susana.

You're a traitor. How could you
do buinsess with Darrow?

You don't understand, Irene.
Darrow is not our enemy.

They're an ally, a capitalist partner
to help us move forward.

The Ministry will be the first
great enterprise in this country

- with foreign capital.
- And of course, you get your commissions.

You're an idealist, Ernesto.

If I don't take the commission,

someone else will.

Do you know what the difference it?

We haven't caught
someone else,

we've caught you.

I will never set foot on a ship
again in my life.

I'll never get behind
a curtain again.

I don't know what I'm doing in 2016
when I could be in my own time.

You have to explain
why you wanted to sell

the Ministry's secret
to some foreigners. Come on.

There is one thing I do not understand.

If Houdini could
make us disappear

and take us back a few hours
before everything happened,

why does he not go back
to see his mother?

He will have tried it a thousand times
but never be able to go farther back.

A man might have powers,
but not always the ones he wants.

Sometimes they are even a heavy burden
to live with.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, let's go.

Come on... Shit.

We have visitors, boss.

Welcome back to the old Ministry.

As you can see, the family
is together again.

Excuse me.

As I was saying yesterday...

you must travel to 1971

to Bélmez de la Moraleda,
Jaén providence.

Your mission,

should you choose to accept it,

is to stop the faces of Bélmez
from disappearing forever.

Fantastic, well, good
luck in Bélmez.

- Can I go now?
- No.

You stay.

Are you going to imprision me?

Not if you accept our conditions.

Work for the Ministry.

- But I already work there.
- Yes, but in 1924.

I want you to work here,
in 2016.

With your powers, you would be very useful.

If there's no other option...

What? Like what you see?

Some decorum, I beg you.
She is your superior.

Relax, relax, Alonso.

I think that we will have
to get used to certain things.

By the way, do we know anything about Amelia?

She's fufilling
the deal with Houdini.

Erik?

Erik is that you?

Are you hiding again?

Erik, stop playing.

There's an old saying here in Hungary.

Promising is easy.

The hardest thing is to keep a promise.

I am a man of honor, madam.

Your secret is safe with me.

Thank you, Mister Houdini.

Listen to me carefully,
we don't have much time.

They know where you are, so you have
to get our of there immediately.

A cannon ball blew up the barricade
next to him.

The splinters have caused
multiple lesions.

- and severe trauma to the thorax.
- He can't breathe.

We have to intebate. A light.

- Bad news, right?
- Yes.

The Prime Minister's office is ordering
an audit of our files and an inspection.

It seems that,

all this juggling of subsecretaries
has caught their attention.

Are you a medic or a mechanic?

Everyone brags about the Spanish Empire,

but they could at least
feed their soldiers well.

How can we keep the history of Spain
in order

if we can't even find one receipt?

With 5 centuries of files,
it isn't easy.

And less so when you keep
running across Velazquez's doodles.

Yes.

If you try anything stupid,
I'll give you a shave with this.

With your permission, captain,
I say that we lock him up

and leave him 2 days
with only water.

I think this is for you.

This morning I had a missed call
on my Ministry phone.

Alonso called from
the police station.

They detained him
in an anti-eviction demonstration.

- What?
- What?

Just getting back from a mission?

How far down did you read,
Angustias?

Well, only to the part where
you have a secret son.

Ever since I arrived here,
I've asked myself the same thing every day.

We have to get out of here!

Is Spain forgetting
about us?
