Swamp of the Lost Souls

They're coming.

We have brought him to you.

He died in the cabin.

The plague killed him.

Close it.

His body won't take the heat,

we must bury him.

I want to go to
the cemetery, Doctor.

- Let them take me.
- How can I refuse you.

You are his wife.

I will come also.
He was my brother.

But no one else can go.

The plague could spread.

- Do not go my aunt!
- Leave her alone.

Nothing can stop her.

They will have to cross the
haunted souls of the swamp.

The souls of the swamp.

I want to see him
one last time.

I ask you as
a good Christian.

Open the coffin.

- Mother!
- My son!

Why wasn't I sent for?

Open it!

He has come very far,
let him look.

But, Maria.

This will be the last time ...
it will.

Open it.

There's nothing there!
It's empty.

- Empty?
- It can't be!

The body has disappeared.

Go to bed.
You're tired.

Leave me alone.
I can not sleep.

Go see my niece,

she needs you
more than I.

- Good night, then.
- Put out the light.

The candles will suffice.

Are you up, Julieta?
Come to bed.

- It is very late.
- I can not.

The storm keeps me awake.

And my Aunt, how is she?

Still in the same state.
Sitting ...

without a word.

She takes refuge in the dark.

She's been this way for a month now.

She went to the cemetary today ...

He made her like that.

A shadow dying
on a chair.

He is responsible for it.

Thank God he died.

My child!
Do not speak ill of the dead.

I knew her when
she was happy.

With my other uncle.

In her first marriage
she was another woman.

Since her remarriage,
she began changing.

Something happened that
we may never find out about.

I hate this house ...

full of mysteries
and secrets.

As a child you were happy here.

When I came on vacation.
Not now.

Tell me, what happened
at the cemetery?

No one would tell me.

Right now, they are
all locked in the office ...

talking about something or other.

I like to be told everything,
facts not secrets.

I'm not a child!

Go! I want to be alone.

As you wish.

- Do not worry about me.
- Good night.

Nobody needs to know
what happened at the cemetery.

This could scare
the inhabitants of the region.

And revive stories
of witchcraft,

and soil the name of my brother.

Above all, do not forget the worst.

No one knows how,
but a corpse has disappeared.

A body that could
kill hundreds of people.

The plague!
If this gets out ...

this would cause
massive panic.

We must keep the
disappearance a secret ...

and rush to find him.

We are in danger.
We have only 24 hours.

After that, we may not
prevent the epidemic.

We will start a thorough
search tomorrow morning.

There must be
a logical explanation.

Well, I will not detain
you any longer.

Good night.

A logical explanation?
What logic?

It's crazy.

What if the coffin had
a false bottom ...

And a secret passage
in the grave.

The body disappeared when
they were lowering the casket.

They had fifteen seconds at most.

I'll get someone
to solve this mystery.

- Where?
- In a ranch nearby.

A friend who knows
these things well.

Wait!

Remember that the secret
must remain between us.

The doctor said we
only had 24 hours.

It would be a crime
to do nothing.

Goodnight.

Boss, Adrian is coming!

Adrian!

Adrian! Can you hear me?

Help! Someone help!

Oh Lord
I do not have sea legs!

Get me back to land.
Come to me land!

Help me, come help me.

There's a big monster!

It's coming after me!
Gast�n! Gast�n!

Come help me!
Oh, it's awful!

It was a big beast.
It attacked me in the swamp.

- What's the matter?
- Never again will I go there.

- An experienced youth like me ...
- Tell me what happened.

An beast jumped on
me in the swamp.

- How?
- It tipped over my boat ...

and I fell into the water.
Look, I'm all wet.

So it was a beast, eh?

Go, horse!
Move your ass!

Is this why you wrote me to
come to the swamp with you?

If it was to frighten me,
I would have been better at home.

I've had enough.

I just realized,
you've been wounded.

It's only a scratch.

But it can get infected!

We will get it treated
at the village.

- Okay, you win.
- You bet, I win.

This region is dangerous ...
One must be careful.

You never know
who you may run across.

All done.

At least you will not
die from it.

Nor of cholera, is that not so?

Cholera.
I do not understand.

What do you mean?

It's been over a week
since the deadline has passed.

And they still speak of the plague.

Why?
Adrian told me everything.

He came to me at my ranch.

He should not have told you.

We took an oath
of secrecy.

You are a doctor,
a man of experience.

What explanation can you give for
the mystery of the empty coffin?

For many years I've lived here ...

and have seen some amazing things.

I respect
how they feel ...

and what they believe.

There are supernatural forces ...

that modern culture
does not understand.

But they exist.
The inexplicable mystery.

This may be the one of them.

I am more used to
practical aspects.

The facts only.
I intend to find them.

Unlocking the mysteries
of the region. Thank you, doctor.

On your horses.
We're needed in the village!

Come on guys!
There's gonna be trouble!

There is no better
sport than fishing.

Nothing like it
to calm you down.

I caught a fish
more than twenty meters.

Twenty meters long?

Twenty meters long.
There is a limit ...

- Except if it was a whale.
- Whale?

- What is that?
- The largest animal.

- The family of cetaceans.
- You do not know?

No. I know a family,
Rodriguez,

they have a lamb.

But cetaceans
I do not know.

Hey you!

You have three minutes
to get out of here.

And fifteen to leave
the village.

Me? Why?

Sorry, sorry.

I said three minutes.

I think we should go.

- Do not be like that!
- Think.

Three minutes
are almost up.

Very well.
With your permission ...

I think I'll finish
my beer outside.

With your permission.

Get out or I'll put you out.

Look out!

Hold it!

This man is a friend of the
step-son of my brother.

I command you
to respect him.

- He receives my friendship.
- Thanks.

Out!

Get out!

Give me my rifle.
This is my rifle.

This time
I was lucky.

But it is not important,
For he who perseveres succeeds.

Oh my little trout,
come here.

You saw how to do it?
Go for a ride.

The young lady
is talking to the stranger.

You wanted to talk to me?

I have bad news.

Someone killed your cousin Adrian.

Control yourself.
Act as if nothing had happened.

Don't tell anyone until ...

I have a chance to look into it.

He told me something
which was to be kept a secret.

- It is linked to his death.
- What?

He's going to tell her everything.

Come on.

He's up to something.
We need to scare him into leaving.

Oh, I caught
a big fish!

It is heavy!

It is said that the
souls of the swamp ...

are bewitched.

And the spirits took
my uncle's body ...

without anyone noticing.

Nonsense. Your aunt saw the body
as he was being put in the grave.

Unless she was lying.

She is incapable of lying.

Who would benefit from
the disappearance of your uncle?

- Life insurance?
- Maybe.

He had several insurance policies.

United States, England
and France.

All together it comes
to one million dollars.

Don Nacho took them out.
He's my uncle's brother.

In that case,

he would not benefit
from the disappearance,

it would cause harm.

Without a body,
he wouldn't get a cent.

It's a trout!

Help!
A death! He's dead!

- It's your friend.
- Help!

Come quickly. I just
wanted a trout.

Gast�n! Look ...

Get ready for tonight.
Hurry!

This is not good.

The souls of the swamp
have returned him.

They have found the gravedigger.
He is marked.

He was returned
by the River.

You must protect me,
they will kill me too.

- Do not say that.
- I foresee it.

You know that I feel things.

- They want to kill me!
- Who?

He who comes
from the beyond ...

to complete the threat
he made against me.

Your dead husband?

He died without discovering
my secret. My horrible secret.

You're the one
who got us into this.

You have to find us a way out.

The insurance was my idea.
Nothing more.

The other idea was yours
and you bungled it.

It wasn't my fault.

The son of my sister in law
had arrived unexpectedly.

I had to do something.

Adrian was going to tell his friend.

With the appearance
of the gravedigger's corpse ...

his friend could
call the police.

He could. He could.

You let a weed's roots
grow into the ground.

You got to pull the roots out.

Few are aware now,
but soon, others will know.

There is still time.
Why delay?

Why do we not liquidate them?

We know that
we will swing.

If those who know die,
all is not lost.

If you do not follow me,
we'll do it all the same.

- And you?
- Of course.

Yes. There is no choice.

As for the dead,
they do not speak.

If you move, I'll shoot!

You hear me?
Who are you?

I know there is someone.

Speak!

Answer me!

Answer me, please!

Julieta! Come!

There is someone
in this room.

No. There is no one.

I am blind, Julieta,
you hear?

I have been like this
for months!

No one knows, apart
from Carmela ... and you.

I'm blind!

Do not weep, aunt.

That's why I go
out so very little.

I have many enemies.

I did not want my husband
to discovers my infirmity.

He scared me.

I discovered he had
married me for my money.

When I learned it,
it was too late.

I was under his power.

They've ruined me.
There is nothing left.

Everything is mortgaged
and I ...

have no evidence
to attack them.

My husband is dead.

Yet, I fear him
even today.

Much more. I'm so afraid of him,
it's horrible, Julieta!

The fear is so painful
and I do not know why.

Momma!

But then
If you can not see,

why did you want the coffin
opened at the cemetery?

Do you not understand?

I pretend,
to hide my secret.

What would a widow ask
at the burial of his husband?

To see him one last time, right?

Just as they opened the coffin,

did you hear anything strange?

What do you mean?

That Fabrique was alive
and was able to escape?

They had lowered him down
into the earth, I heard it.

Adrian came a few seconds later.

No, Julieta.
Fabrique is dead.

He had disappeared from the coffin.

Yes. He must be at the swamp bottom
with the souls of the swamp ...

undergoing his penance.
Thus, Julieta.

I will not change my mind.

Lead me to my bed.

- I heard a sound near the door?
- Calm down.

Bring Carmela to me.

I want her to
keep me company.

You must believe me, Julieta.

The souls of the swamp ...

is the cemetery
of damned souls.

So says tradition.

Grandparents to parents,
parents to children.

Fabrique disappeared from the coffin ...

when crossing the swamp.

There was no trickery.

I would have heard something.

I have very sensitive hearing.

My husband is dead.
And the swamp claimed his soul ...

for eternal punishment.

Go and rest.
I'll stay with her.

Good night, my aunt.

Forgive me for having
wasted your time.

Do not say that.

Carmela!

Are you there?

What are you doing?
Please, tell me!

It's you.

You suspect even my aunt.

You went to her
room to investigate.

You should've told me
before you did that.

You do not trust me?

Or you suspect me too.

But you were not at
the cemetery that day. She was.

There are secrets among
those who were there that day.

She became blind
suddenly.

It's been a few months.
Only Carmela knew.

She could not fool everyone.

Dr. Morales would have
visited her.

She may have fooled others.
But not a doctor.

He knows,
I'm sure.

Let's say he told others
and they also know ...

What others?

Those who accompanied
her at the burial.

If Adrian had not arrived,

the coffin would have been
buried empty.

No one would have
reported anything ...

and Don Nacho could have
collected the insurance money.

But in any case,
where is the corpse?

- Do you remember?
- What?

When you left when you were
young in search of adventure.

That didn't last long.

I was forcibly brought
back by my Father.

I wanted to be
a great detective.

The mystery fascinated me.

It was obvious.

The mystery of the
loss of my rag doll.

No secrets resisted me.

Except mine.

Momma! It hit me!

- What's wrong?
- Why are you shouting?

The monster knocked me unconscious
and he put me in bed.

I found you on the terrace,
brought you in and threw you on the bed.

Really? I was sleeping
when suddenly ...

I felt that I was being watched.

I opened my eyes, and went to
the balcony and there it was.

- I was afraid.
- What for?

What for?
Because of the beast.

The monster again?

Do not look at me like that.

I know. I saw it in
the swamp earlier also.

Are you sure?

As sure as my name is
Espergencio Rodriguez Bacoro.

The monster hit me.

- Carmela!
- I'm right here?

When the others are asleep
I want to go to the library.

But why?

I need to find some documents!

No. Not now.
It's dangerous.

Don Nacho sleeps
next to the library.

Tomorrow
is the feast of the village,

no one will stay
in the house ...

Another hand, doctor?

You have infernal luck.

This time I'll win.

We'll see.

With this game,
I'll get my revenge.

Hurry,
they could return.

I opened it! Come help me!

Insurance ... life ... policy ...

- of Fabrique Mendoza.
- Another?

To the benefit ...

Don Nacho Mendoza.

Five policies ...
One million dollars!

Why did he take out all of this insurance
benefiting his brother? Why?

What is it?

The alarms went off.

My safe has been opened.

What are we waiting for?

Don't move or I'll shoot!

She is not responsible.

This is my house and I have the
right to know what goes on.

Now that you
know everything,

what will you do?

You are surprised
my brother left ...

so much life insurance in
my name? What's it to you?

Where does it leave you?

End your charade.

You are blind.

There is too
much at stake,

you can not escape.

Your life will depend
on your behavior.

The house is empty.
The servants are at the party.

Your niece and her friends
left early this morning.

- Here?
- Yes, roughly.

I would not do that
for a million pesos.

The beast is down there!
It's waiting for him.

Watch out, Gaston!

He hasn't come back up.

That's it,
the beast has swallowed him!

There he is!

I'll give you a hand,
You're wetter than soup.

- Did you see the Monster?
- How do you feel?

Fine ... I have not seen anything.

- No?
- Nothing.

You will stay here
until we come back ...

and then we'll see what
will be done with you.

I only need a couple more
clues to wrap up this case.

We're going to
have to split up

You two go to the cabin where Fabrique died.

And what will we do there?

See if it was burned or not.

- Burned?
- If he died of the plague,

the doctor would
have burned it down.

If not, the doctor will
be my prime suspect.

See you at the house.

I have something to do there.

- Julieta?
- Yes?

You remember the signal
we had as kids?

This is it!

Don't move.

Bring them with us to the house!

Get this idiot out of my
sight before I kill him!

Come on.

My hat, my hat!

Run and find Gaston
at the house! Hurry!

Stop that horse!
Hurry!

Don't move!
Don't move!

The other day at the bar,
you helped me ...

- Shut up!
- Very good.

This will make things easier.

I know what to expect.

I was looking for evidence,

- I found it.
- It will not help you much.

In the other world,
they laugh at these things.

You should know one thing.

Adrian died in my arms.
And he spoke to me.

And how does this interest me?

Who wouldn't be interested in
the disappearance of a corpse?

Just as it was being buried.

And if the deceased,
is a living man.

What do you mean?

I think you know what
I'm talking about.

Maria is blind.

You took advantage of this and
carried out the disapearance ...

all under her very nose.

She may be blind
but she can hear.

She heard nothing
from the coffin ...

during the trip
in the boat.

Of course, but you could have
opened it up another time.

And when, for example?

When she asked
that it be opened.

You are fantastic.

If this were true,
where is my brother?

In the river,
disguised as a monster.

But perhaps, it's not him.

Take me to her!

- What happened?
- Do not worry.

I hit him on the head with a flower pot.

I'm going to tie him up.

He is so heavy!

The horse came back!

- I pass.
- Me too.

I bet twenty.

This door is easy to push down ...

but we must wait until they leave.

Oh Lord, let the horse
find Gast�n.

Yes, do that.

Full house.

I'm done playing
cards with this guy.

Learn to play!

Another scoundrel
in the clouds.

If you don't stop, I'll shoot.

- How many?
- Two.

One for me.

Let's play.

Look!

What was that?

They're gone.

Come, we must get out!

Come on, help me!

Thank you Lord,
God has rewarded me!

You stay here. Do not move.
Let me do it.

Hold on, Gast�n,
I'm here to help you!

That's Julieta!

Hello, where're you going??

No, pity, don't punch me!

That's my uncle!

Yes. He led you to believe he died.

That day at the cemetery,

he took advantage of the blindness of your
aunt and got out of the coffin when it was opened.

I believe that closes the case.

- Gaston ...
- Yes?

I ...

What are they doing?

They would like
to say goodbye, but ...

I think there are too
many witnesses.

- I'd like to see them both.
- Soon.

In a few weeks you can
travel to see the doctor ...

and everything will be fine.

Calm down!
