Shh, it's okay, it's alright.
Sure you're okay?
Let's get up then.
- It's already dark out? - Just about.
Come on, get dressed. We're already running late.
And put the cream on.
SHIVER
Breakfast, Gecko.
Shit, you jerk!
- You blind or what? - Sorry...
- Here. - Moron.
What the hell?
You fuckin' freak!
What's the matter, Dracula? The light messes ya up?
Hey, hey! You lookin' for trouble?
I'm crazy, motherfucker.
I'll kill you if you so much as look at me.
- Know what I hate most 'bout the night shift? - What?
The chicks, man. They're so different from the day school girls.
They could say the same about us.
Yeah, right, but I don't care.
Look, if it were up to me I'd take a hot chick over a good chick any day.
Shit...
Dude, you're pretty good at this, huh?
I kill monsters to forget I'm one myself.
Hey, man, monsters rock.
I'm gonna get change.
Fuck this shit!
So, no luck today?
It's all right. I'm leaving, no problem.
And did you notice the canines? They seem to be getting larger lately.
A secondary symptom, nothing serious.
Thank goodness.
On the other hand, however, his test results are serious.
He's not doing well.
But you said that if I looked after him-
Julia, Julia, this is not the time to blame yourself.
The truth is that the xeroderma has progressed.
Of course, it's in the initial phase,
but if we don't stop its development now,
you know what that means:. skin transplants-
Blindness, cancer...
You smell so nice, Santi.
Thank you. It's the protective cream.
- Uh, I'm just messing with you. - Yeah, it stinks.
So will you come to Lapland with me?
Of course.
Besides, it's always night time there.
And Santa Claus lives there, as you always say.
It's here.
Don't let go of it.
Julia, have you thought about living somewhere else??
I mean, somewhere with less sun.
To Lapland?? No.
Well, you should.
And you don't need to go so far away.
Right here, in the North,
there are small villages in canyons and deep valleys where the days are short.
Think about it, Julia.
It's important.
Santi, I won't be able to look after you all your life.
Either you make an effort or...
I can't do it on my own. It's not easy for me.
And it's easy for me, right??
I don't have a life, friends, any girlfriends. I don't have shit!
And what can I do, Santi?? You tell me.
Let's leave this place, Mom. Please, let's leave.
I can't, Santi. I have a job -
Mom, you translate books. You can do that anywhere.
I can't live like this.
I can't.
Let's go far away. Please, Mom. Far away from here.
Are we there yet??
We just left.
Santi, what are you doing! Santi!
There's no sun here.
I think this is it.
The landlord said he'd be waiting for us.
Ugh, it's so late.
I just stepped in a huge piece of shit!
It's called a cow patty.
Well, it smells like shit.
Santi, don't wander off.
I can't find the keys.
Thought they were in my handbag...
Santi, stand still. Don't move! Stay calm.
Get out of here! Hey!
Damned dog...
Hello, good afternoon.
Hello, I'm Julia.
Dimas.
It's been closed up for a while.
It smells a bit musty.
But everything works... electricity, water, phone. Everything.
Wow, what furniture! Are they antiques??
They're old.
This way.
Well, there's the kitchen,
the living room is over there, and the bedrooms.
And there??
The loft, but I haven't had time to fix it up. It's full of junk.
I can bring you bread and milk in the mornings.
You don't need to bother.
It's no bother. I run a small grocery store.
Thank you.
I hope you'll be comfortable.
Welcome home.
Raspa!
Again??!
Raspa!
What's up, Raspa??
Who's there??
Hello, my name is Santi.
Hello, Santi.
Very good, kids.
Sit over there, with Jonas. Let's see if you can help him.
Now, open your books and turn to page seventy five:
"The Earth As An Ecosystem. "
Hey, man, your cap is cool.
Mine's a piece of shit.
Good morning.
You're a little strange, aren't you??
Me?? No, I'm normal.
Everyone else is strange.
Me too??
Well, I don't know.
It's strange that you talk to me, isn't it??
Yes.
Alright, then.
My name is Angela.
I'm Santi.
What do I do now??
What the hell do I do??
- Fabian, take it easy-- - No! This is the third one!
But no more. I swear to God I'll take care of this.
Careful with what you put in the forest. We could have a problem some day.
Besides, it was only an animal.
Just an animal??
Do you think an animal can gut a sheep like that?? Fuck no!
And watch what you say around here.
We're all thieves! All of us!
Are the woods dangerous??
You should always be careful out there.
Hi. My name is Santi.
I know.
- How's that?? - 'Cuz I know everything.
Well, I'm going that way.
I know.
See you later.
Hello, Mo. Did you have a good day?
Yes, very good. And you?
I made lots and lots of friends.
No one makes friends on the first day.
I love you a lot, Mom.
Santi!
What??
I went into town today.
They told me that we have to be very careful in the woods.
Some people put snares and traps in there-
Mom, they say that to pull our legs, 'cuz we're out-of-towners.
Precisely.
Santi, this is not the city, so it's best to be careful.
Hello?? Anyone home??
Hello??
- Oh, good morning. - Good morning.
I brought your order. No one answered so I came up.
Santi heard noises in the loft and we thought it might be a rat.
- A rat?? - Or a wolf.
I don't think wolves really like lofts.
It could be a bird. Sometimes they get in.
I could bring you a cat.
No, no cats. Thanks, but Santi has allergies.
No, not to cats.
Well, just in case. We don't know.
Put that back, Santi.
Don't worry about it.
They were left by the people who lived here before you.
Well, I can bring you some poison or traps.
Thank you.
- See you later. - See you.
Oh, stop it!
What are you talking about?? You're a liar.
It threw a stone and when I turned around, it was staring at me.
- Even you don't believe that. - But it's fucking true!
What was it then??
Well... I don't know.
'Cause you're a fuckin' liar.
I couldn't see it, okay??
Bullshit, you couldn't see it!
Maybe it was a wolf??
No. Much worse than a wolf.
Bet you don't have the balls to go look for it.
- No, I won't go. - Sure as hell you're going! Anyone else??
I'll go.
At whose house??
And who is Jonas??
Right, Playstation.
All right.
I'll expect you for dinner.
Love ya.
Excuse me!
Hey!
Excuse me!
Did you want something??
I'm sorry. My son told me that he rented you the house.
- Are you Dimas' father?? - Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me. I have to go to the cemetery.
- They're for my wife. - I'm sorry.
And your husband??
Well... he's quite far away.
This is not a good place to be alone.
It's better to be with someone.
I didn't tell my mom, so she's gonna worry.
Wait! Do you wanna break your leg??
I bet you never seen one like that.
Ya gotta watch every step, dude.
So, shall we head back??
Maybe it's not here anymore. Maybe it went somewhere else.
You sure you know the way??
Stick together.
Can we just go already??
Just keep moving.
I have to shit.
Are you stupid?? What do you think the woods are for??
- What's wrong?? - Think I saw something...
Now you're gonna be scared shitless.
- What the fuck?? - Let go of me! Let go!
- Stay put! - Tito! Wait! Wait!
- No, I'm leaving! - Tito! Tito! We can't split up! Tito!
No, leave me alone! Lemme go! Tito! Shit, man!
You're going to get it, asshole.
Tito!
Jonas??
Jonas?? Jonas??!
Tito?? Jonas??
Jonas...
Jonas??!
Stop, stop, stop!
What the fuck...??
Ma'am, where are you going??
Are you Santiago's mother??
My son can't be in the sunlight.
We know. Calm down.
He has photophobia.
Let go of me.
- Who are you?? - I'm Inspector Cifuentes.
What's happened to my son?? I want to see him.
Your son is fine.
But there's a dead boy.
A dead boy??
I got lost, and then...
Then what??
I saw... nothing, nothing.
- Nothing?? You sure?? - Why do you insist??
That boy could have shot himself, I don't know, by accident.
No, it wasn't an accident.
Jonas' throat was ripped open.
They ripped his throat and then drank his blood.
What's wrong??
Why...??
She's very upset.
Why is she looking at Santi like that??
Just let it go Mom. Please.
Her son has died...
And nothing happened to Santi. It's hard for her.
Don't take offense.
We just wanted to show how we feel.
I know.
Come on, I'll walk you home.
Look at the bright side. Now you're the most famous guy in town.
You're the classic "mysterious foreigner."
I know, but I'd like to draw less attention.
Why?? To be the same as the rest?? Chicks don't like that.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come here.
Hey!
What?? What's the problem??
What did you do to Jonas??!
Leave me alone! I didn't do anything!
Bite me and I'll kill you!
See?? I told ya! He's got fangs!
It was you, vampire!
Tell them, Tito. Come on, please!
Tito couldn't have seen anything because he ran away. Right, Tito??
How would you know??
- My father told me. Want me to call him?? - Angela, leave this one alone.
And you... watch out, 'cuz we'll be following you.
Thanks.
- They're a bit rough here. - Yeah.
- Who's your father?? - A cop. Inspector Cifuentes.
I don't think he likes me very much either.
He's like that with everyone. Except me, of course.
- Been living here long?? - All my life.
Here.
What is it??
My home and cell phone numbers.
But don't call my cell phone 'cause there's no signal.
So, call me.
Who's the girl??
A friend.
She's very pretty.
Good afternoon.
I told you it would just take a minute.
I still don't understand why you want my son's DNA.
Just a formality. We have to check every possibility.
Possibility of what?? Are you blaming him, too??
My job is not to lay blame, but to rule out every possibility.
All right, shall we go??
My daughter talks a lot about you.
She says you're a good kid.
Santi, wait for me outside school tomorrow afternoon. Okay??
Are you going to call me sometime or what??
You sure I should?? Your father was at my house. I'm a suspect.
And a big one.
Don't you suspect me??
Hey, give it back!
What's up?? Did you find it or what??
Come on, we don't have all day.
Here it is! I found it!
Not that one. This one's better.
I prefer mine.
Julia...
Sometimes my work isn't very pleasant,
and I have to do things that I don't like doing.
Your son isn't...
The saliva samples on the body didn't match your son's.
Which means the DNA test is negative.
I expect you'll be more at ease now.
I've been just fine all along.
Not for one second did I think my son could do something so horrible.
Right. I understand.
Could I buy you a cup of coffee??
I don't drink coffee.
Tea, then??
Please??
Hey, you!
Ya better bring the money for the ball tomorrow,
or you're gonna to get it, asshole!
Tea and coffee.
If you see Paloma, please say hello.
From you.
My ex.
She used to be his girlfriend but she married me.
I see.
That's the bad thing about small towns. We all know each other.
I studied, became a policeman, made it to Inspector, there you go.
One daughter and a divorce later, I'm back.
Ever heard of destiny??
I thought I could escape from mine and Santi's.
A new life in the countryside...
Well, you're still young enough to...
Thank you.
I know you're trying to be nice to me and all,
but you don't have to.
The way they looked at Santi at the cemetery,
I know that everything will be like it was before.
This is a special case.
A dead child and under those circumstances...
Don't worry. I'm used to it.
I'm stronger than I look.
What time is it??
I'm late. I have to pick up Santi.
Thanks for the tea.
My pleasure.
What the hell ya doin' here??
- There's something out there. - There??
Back there! Shit, let go of me!
- Where?? - Let go of me, please! Let me go!
Look, kid, don't give me any shit.
Move it!
Tell me where you saw it or I'll think that it was you.
There it is, there it is! Where he threw the ball.
- Get it. - No fuckin' way.
Get down there, you shit, or I'll blow your head off.
Slowly.
And watch yourself. Don't try to trick me.
Nobody fools me.
Go on.
Whaddaya waiting for??! Go fuckin' get it!
Santi!
Guess who came to see us??
Hey, Santi! What do you say, kid??
What do you think, Oscar?? I'm fed up! It's always the same.
I'm going to change, I swear.
That's why I'm here. To look after you, and the boy.
- Then prove it, alright?? - All right, all right. Trust me.
- Inspector Cifuentes. - Julia.
- My husband, Oscar. - Nice to meet you. Is he awake??
Two murders in a village where nothing ever happens,
and you've been there both times.
You're making it very difficult to believe in coincidences.
- There was something else there. - Something??
It was...
On top of Fabian, talking into his ear.
But then it turned around.
Did you see his face??
Its face and its mouth was full of blood.
Was he a man?? An animal?? A ghost?? What??
I don't know. I told you, I don't remember.
Fine.
I don't need anything further. For now.
Shit, you didn't waste any time getting into trouble, did you??
Mom, I saw it.
Just like I'm seeing you right now.
I swear.
- Does it drink blood? - From the neck.
Does it look like this?
You monster, Santi! Get out of town!
Santi! Are you all right??
Son of a bitch! Wait till I catch you!
Damn losers...
I'm not going to let this go any further.
I'm filing a complaint tomorrow.
Just like new.
Are you worried??
No.
Great.
Mom??
Gecko??
Erika Hassel. The daughter of the previous tenants.
It was her. I didn't recognize her at first,
but then I saw the photo and I remembered.
She killed him.
What a coincidence, eh??
You don't remember anything,
and then suddenly you remember that it was none other than a girl.
A girl that, as far as I know, left for Germany with her parents more than a year ago.
I'm telling you it was her.
She came into my room and took Gecko.
Who are you trying to fool, Santi??
Why would my son make up something like that??
If I were involved in two murders,
I'd also try to blame someone else.
How can I get you to believe me??
Mercedary Mothers...
Santi! Santi, it's me!
What's the matter, man??
I came as soon as you called, but this is way-out, man.
Take it easy, I'm here.
Das ne-ue wil-de Mad-chen.
- Look, this one's in English. - You know English??
No, but look. Erika Hassel is on the same page as Victor de Aveyron,
Kaspar Hauser and Kamala and Ramala.
Who are they??
Well, they're... wild children.
Kids brought up by themselves, or even worse, by wild animals.
I mean, with no contact with human beings.
... on Mercedary Mothers of Charity.
Look, here's a map of Africa.
Africa... I bet she got lost in the jungle.
Did Erika's parents live in Africa??
Were they missionaries or something??
No idea.
I see animals on here.
It looks like a documentary.
Where is Molledo??
Molledo?? I don't know. Somewhere around here??
Child Health Home of the Mercedaries of Charity.
- What's that, a hospital?? - I think it's a madhouse.
Erika was in a madhouse??
See?? I told you everything was all right.
You think they'll let us in just like that??
Don't worry. I'll come up with something.
We should tell my father. I bet he'd help.
No, he wouldn't. No way would he believe us.
Well, they don't look too dangerous.
Now what??
I have a plan.
Your friend is very strange.
He's cool. You can trust him.
Right, whatever you say.
What's he doin'??
Plan B.
That song...
Why does it ring a bell??
Shut up!
No, shoo, go away...
Get out, get out of here!
Get away, go on!
What are you doing there??
I see that neither you nor your friends listen to reason.
I bet you'll pay more attention to the police.
We're screwed.
Damned Erika.
Now what??
We'll have to catch her ourselves.
Don't even dream of trying.
That girl is a wild beast. Understand??
Did you know Erika??
She was the daughter of some German naturalists that worked in Africa.
She got lost in the jungle, and she grew up alone with the beasts.
What did I tell you??
Some hunters captured her, and took her to our mission.
Her parents brought her here to see if we could help her.
She tried to escape every day.
She wanted to go back to the jungle and her creatures.
God knows she never should have left the jungle.
We gave her back to her parents,
but I knew we'd never really be free of her.
Don't trust Erika.
I did.
Now you best be on your way.
And make sure you stay clear of Erika Hassel.
Mom! Mom! It's Erika Hassel!
Where have you been?? And what's he doing here??
Leo came to pick me up from school.
From school??
Santi, why are you lying to me??
Julia, you have to believe us
All I wanna believe is that you're leaving this minute.
No, they're not leaving.
I'm not going to argue with you.
Everyone out! And you, go to your room.
Obey your mother.
I'm not taking orders from a slot machine junkie.
Where are you going?? Come back here!
- Who are you calling?? - Antonio.
He's not there. I can't reach him.
We don't need the police. I'll find him.
By yourself??
Hello. Excuse me, but I brought you the traps.
He's Dimas, the landlord. Oscar, my husband.
Stop it.
Shit, put the flashlight down!
What the hell are you recording, man??
And the others??
Those who died didn't know what they were up against, but we do.
Some plan.
... Sprays, aim at the eyes. It really fucks them up.
Be careful, the woods are full of traps.
We should have told my dad.
Flares.
The thing is, we shine the light in her face...
and while she's blinded, we film her.
What are you doing, man?? Are you stupid or what??
You're gonna run down the battery.
The most important thing is to stay together, close together.
If we walk together she'll think we're a pack.
- What're you doin'?? - I won't make it easy for her.
Be careful.
Careful. Stop.
It's true. Fabian filled the place with traps.
Let's look for the path that...
Angela!
Angela! Angela!
Don't worry. The girl is from here. She knows her way around.
I hope so.
Look. See?? They must be near.
Angela! Angela.
Help me!
Angela! Are you all right??
It hurts a lot!
I--I can't move.
Angela!
Easy, Angela, we're almost there.
Don't move.
Careful, careful, careful!
It's a German license plate.
My knee hurts. It hurts a lot.
I don't think they came this way.
There's a road nearby. Let's follow it and see.
If you want I'll take the lead. Okay??
Look. There's the ball.
This must be her hideout or something.
What's that?? I think I see something.
Watch your backs!
Look, look, look!
What is it??
They look like graves.
The Germans' graves.
I bet the kid killed her parents and then buried them.
On her own?? How could she have done that??
Santi!
Hey, watch where you're aiming.
What the hell??!
What was that??
There it is!
That was nearby.
Hey! Hey!
Hey... We're here!
Run, run!
Fuck, get it off me! Get it off me! Please!
Don't pull! Don't yank!
What's the matter??
Oh God! God!
Don't move, Santi, all right??
Calm down!
Stop it!
Don't touch me, don't touch me!
Stay still, Santi! Stay still, ok??
Don't move, Santi, please, don't move... Stop.
Santi, I'll look for help. I'll be right back.
But we can't split up!
We can't all stay here.
- How will you find us?? - I'll follow the light back.
Leo... Leo!
I'll leave the camera and the spray here.
- I'll be right back, I promise. - No, Leo! Leo!
I promise!
It'll be OK...
Don't move.
Who are you??
I'm Leo, a friend of Santi's.
Santi's hurt.
His father is dead.
What??
We have to get help.
Shit, I am the help!
What's happening??
An animal??
It's her.
Go on, get this thing off me.
Do it!
Don't move, please! Stay still!
Hurry up, hurry up!
- Run! Hurry up! - What about you??
I'll go the other way. I'll distract her.
I'm not going to leave you alone.
I need you to get help. Please.
Run! Run away!
Hey! Hey! Here I am!
What's wrong??
They're not here.
Here where??
Well, here.
Santi was trapped.
You left them alone??
You imbecile... You shouldn't have done that.
Santi??
Santi!
Angela!
Santi!
Angela!
This don't look good. That thing is close.
Yeah, but it's not a thing.
It's the Germans' daughter, and she's a fucking monster.
What the hell are you talking about??
Erika Hassel, the one who lived in the house, the girl.
Impossible. The Germans left a long time ago.
No fucking way. The Germans are dead and buried right near here.
What are you saying??
Just ask Santi or Angela. They know as much as I do.
You had to come and screw it all up.
What did you say??
That you've fucked things up!
What are you talking about??
We don't need you, you hear??!
Not you, not your friend and not the fucking Germans!
Mom...
Santi...
- What have they done to you?? - I'm okay.
Santi...
Oscar... your father...
He's dead...
Dimas says you did it.
That son of a bitch!
He's lying.
He tried to kill Leo.
Leo is in a coma.
So, you, too?? You think I'm the killer??
Mom...??
No, no.
You have to help me.
Come back later when my son is here.
I need to talk to you.
With me??
Please.
I don't have anything to tell you.
What's the matter?? Are you all right??
I know that you're a good person.
I need you to help me understand what's going on.
What can I do??
Tell me what you know.
Something happened to the Germans that used to live in your house...
The girl...
But Miss, I already told you, I don 't know anything.
Do you know where they are?
I really don 't understand what you want from me.
Yes, you know you do.
Why did you tell me that this isn't a good place for a woman to be alone??
Because it's not.
What do you want from me??
Why is she here?? What do you want??
I wanted to know-
There's nothing to know.
I'm sorry but your son is a murderer.
My son is innocent.
Out of my house. Out!
Did you hear me?? Get out of here!
- Out! Get out! - You're crazy!
Let go of me, Dimas! What are you hiding?
I know you're hiding something!
- Out! - I'll call the police!
Call whoever you want.
- Dimas... Be reasonable. - Where's your son??
Dimas!
You idiot. The boy is in the house.
Help!
Help, please!
Please! Dimas!
Open the door! Open it!
Open the door, Dimas! Open it!
I got you. You son of a bitch!
What is it?? I heard gunshots.
Get the murderer!
I need to talk to Inspector Cifuentes.
He's not here right now.
Please, it's very urgent. I need to talk to him.
I just told you he's not in. Come back later.
Listen, you don't understand. They're going to kill my son.
Get the murderer! Shit, hurry up! He'll get away!
All right. Wait for me there.
They're going to kill him, Antonio. I have to do something.
No, Julia, stay out of it. I don't know how they'll react.
Wait for me there.
Inspector, looks like we may have found something here.
I told you, it's those Germans. Dad, I'm going with you.
No.
Dad, please.
Angela, no. It could be dangerous.
Gecko.
You search the dining room.
Lucas, the kitchen.
And you, this way.
Gecko.
This time you have nowhere to hide.
You had to come here,
and stick your nose in other people's business.
Well...
What are you doing??
Put that down!
Put it down!
Put down the knife!
Come on, drop it! Drop it!
Drop that knife or I'll have to shoot you!
Drop it!
Goodbye, vampire.
Stop! Police! No one shoot. Put down the weapon.
Mom!
I was thinking of putting up a swing for Erika,
since it's such a beautiful day, isn't it?? So how are you??
Fine. Just out hunting.
Coffee??
Yes, thank you.
The German lady was different.
We're not used to women like that around here.
Stop it! What's gotten into you??
Let go of me! Stop it!
What about the girl?? What happened to her??
My wife begged him not to kill her,
that she would take care of her.
Poor girl. It's not her fault, she said.
She thought that she could get her to forget about it,
but she didn't know how wild the girl was.
She ran away, into the woods,
and I never saw her again.
Well, looks like it's time for me to head out.
They're gonna kill me at work.
Maybe it's time for us to leave, too. Huh, Santi??
No, Mom.
Not yet.
