Why didn't you want to bring Tuno? He could have run around.
That dog isn't trained.
What do you mean not trained?
He takes good care of the child.
This picnic isn't for the dog, it's for Gaby.
SHRIEK OF TERROR
Come here!
Uncle Carlos!
What a pretty girl!
Hello, Uncle Carlos.
How are you?
Uncle Carlos. Eladio.
There's a good picnic spot . Wait for me there.
We'll see you. - All right.
And your truck?
Back there. The road's bad.
Why did you bring them?
No helping it. It's her van. Otherwise I couldn't come.
Sit down next to the tree.
I'll get things ready.
We'll find something here?
I'm sure. Eladio knows a lot about this. Right?
Of course, this is a sure thing.
This is a monastery from the 16th or 17th century.
Where is it Eladio?
Around the corner.
There's a tunnel.
He knows a lot. You'll see. -Where?
Here. This tunnel.
Let's go.
Here.
Look, Roberto. As Eladio has told me, Spain's riches
went through these monasteries.
After the War of Independence,
many of the treasures stayed here.
We have to find them.
Eladio, which way?
They say the crypt is over there.
Well, let's go!
C'mon!
I'll take off your shoes.
Give me the other.
Here it is.
Let's prepare the equipment.
Carlos! Hold the light!
What are you doing?
I'm going to look for the treasure.
Wait! There could be gases.
Gases? In a monastery? You're crazy!
"Women Who Love Too Much."
Mommy, are you crying?
No.
Will you give me my picture?
OK, just don't lose it.
Is that all?
One sad monk's bones?
A fine guide you are, Eladio.
Look!
Nothing!
A stone!
And this?
It's not worth anything...
...but it could be a clue.
A clue!
With this guide!
Better to leave!
Listen, Roberto, calm down.
Calm down.
It was all for nothing!
Calm down, man.
Let's check out your wife's picnic.
Would you like to eat something? - No, I'll stay here and pack up.
Okay, put everything in the van.
You've already finished at playing miners?
Yes.
May I have a sandwich?
Help yourself.
Hello, my love.
Do you want a sandwich?
No, I want wine.
It's there in the basket.
Hurry! Run!
Hurry!
Get in the van!
Let's go! Hurry!
Climb in!
Let's go, boys!
You can go now, boys.
Chuy, let's go see what they did.
What happened?
I don't know what happened!
I told you that was a sacred place.
Shut up, already. You'll scare the kid.
You okay, honey?
Uncle, my shoes and teddy bear are back there.
Your teddy bear?
Hey, don't worry.
I have a doll for you right here. Look!
See how pretty it is?
See?
Maybe the bones here are magical.
Hey, Chuy.
Hey Chuy, wait!
Gaby!
Look what your mama made for you,
a brooch from the trinket your uncle gave you.
I cleaned it, and look,
this will give you good luck, you'll see.
I miss my teddy bear.
Really?
But he's having fun in the forest
playing with the little ants.
Tomorrow, I'll buy you another.
Laura!
Coming!
Okay, go play in your room, and get that sour look off your face.
Laura!
What's up?
Who are these?
Which?
Those!
Those?
They're the French.
And these?
Eh, Mexicans.
And what are these Mexicans doing in French territory?
Don't you know they're enemies?
Why are you yelling at me?
Laura,
do you know who started this collection?
My grandfather.
And do you know what that means to me?
And the first step to losing them,
is getting them out of order.
They're not toys!
Why can't we be like other couples?
Why?
We are like most couples.
Normal couples don't love each other.
They live together.
They put up with each other.
No, that's not true.
You and I loved each other.
What happened to us?
Nothing happened. We still love each other.
You just said you can't stand me.
Okay.
Okay.
I didn't mean to say that.
You drive me crazy with your carelessness.
You don't pay attention to me. You never spend time with me.
Come on.
You have to be more careful with my things.
Colibri!
Colibri!
Yes, Juan.
You were sleeping.
One could say I was sleeping.
What do you need?
Look what they took from the monastery crypts.
Who went in?
Some outsiders.
When?
Well, ...around noon.
Who let them go in?
No one, when we got there they were already inside.
And nothing happened?
Not to them. I went in to see what they did, and found this.
But then I got frightened by something strange.
An animal, or something, came near me.
You saw it?
No, I didn't see it. I only heard it.
It had an awful roar,
and it started chasing me!
But I ran fast, so it didn't catch me.
And where are the rest of the bones?
The rest are there, I brought these for you to see.
What did the outsiders look like?
Well, they were like, how can I put it?
Two city men?
Yes, from the city.
And a woman and a little girl. Why?
One of them is giving energy to the "chaneque."
You're sure there was something there, no?
Yes, I heard it clearly.
My legs went limp, and my hair stood on end.
No one else took any bones, or anything else?
Are they dangerous?
Are the bones cursed?
Because Chuy kept one.
He said maybe they were magical or something.
Go see him now and tell him to bring them to me.
There are things I need to do.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Give me the bones.
Boy, quit playing with those bones. They're not for playing with.
Must be those dogs messing with the goats again.
Well? Go see!
I'm going! I'm going!
It's always me. Always me!
Honey, don't play with those bones anymore.
Wash you hands because we're going to eat.
Calm down!
Calm down, dogs!
What's going on with you?
Chuy!
Chuy!
Chuy!
We're too late, right?
How did you get here, Colibri?
That's not important.
Help me bury them.
Ibar!
I'm always searching, risking my neck,
and for what?
These old *** bones!
Yes, buddy, but maybe they're magic bones, no?
What magic?
If they're magical, here, take two!
Thanks, pal, you're a great guy!
And, check it out, buddy, wha... what's going to happen?
To prove that they're magical, where do think I'm going?
Where do you think?
To un-drink, buddy! That is, I'm going to take a ***.
You coming or not?
No!
Well, good luck, then, my friend.
I sent you to *** with good luck, my friend!
Don't *** around!
Answer me!
Quit *** around!
I'll never give you anything again!
What happened?!
Hello?
"Is this the Navarro household?"
Yes?
"We're calling from the Andre Institute,
and wish to speak with Mrs. Navarro."
Ah, yes. Yes, you're speaking with her.
I'm calling on behalf of the counselor at Gaby's school.
Is there a problem?
"Nothing serious, but we'd like to discuss your daughter's behavior."
"Do you have time to speak with us today?"
Yes, of course. I'll be there.
We'll see you.
I know why you're here.
Why do you ask, if you already know?
It's impossible that it has come,
even though no one has invoked it.
Spirits,
without human beings,
are nothing.
They are beings in whom
heaven, earth, mind,
and the food of life
have been grafted.
You need to find it.
Before...
...it possesses someone.
Could it be an innocent?
A little girl from the city?
From the city?
No.
From the city? No.
From the earth,
with primitive emotions.
Fear,
agression,
hunger,
curiosity,
solitude.
The girl!
Children are immersed in their parents' spiritual world.
But not all of them.
Not those who lack attention.
Like you said,
those who are alone.
Who brought the chaneque to this place?
It was before my time.
It was one of the monks.
The most humble.
The gardener.
"What shall we do, Javalin?"
"Who are you?"
"Speak!"
Answer me! Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who?
"IIIIIIBBBBAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!"
Ibar!
It's Ibar.
Can you hear me?
The bones...
...you were right.
He's searching for the skeleton.
And there's a lot of pain and anger.
It's what I had been thinking.
What should I do?
The girl has one of the bones.
This chaneque...
is not like others.
We'll have to burn the skeleton.
I'm tired.
I no longer have the strength to go with you.
You'll have to do it alone.
Listen to me well.
You must take care.
If it takes possession of someone,
that person will be cursed,
as well as the generations that follow them.
Mrs. Navarro,
when we organize activities with the girls,
your daughter participates very well.
But when she's left to her own devices,
she doesn't play with her classmates,
and her classmates avoid her.
Gabriela...
tells stories.
Very macabre stories.
Does she watch a lot of television?
Shows for adults, perhaps, that could be scaring her?
No, I don't let her.
Have you noticed any changes in her behavior?
Anything out of the ordinary?
No.
Nothing.
She's a very normal child.
It's true she's introverted, but...
that's normal for her age, no?
These are drawings Gabriela has made.
There's something strange about them.
Gaby, you're always on your own. Why?
Sorry to ask, but is your relationship with your husband a good one?
Yes.
Well, eh, we're in a small crisis...
but nothing unusual.
Besides, I'm already in a therapy group.
A therapy group? Good. That's good.
Are you ready?
Yes, ready.
Gaby, ready?
You always miss.
Get it. Hurry.
What did you do? You ruined the ball.
No. No. I didn't do it.
We're taking you to the teacher.
Teacher! Gaby ruined the ball.
How Gaby?
No, It wasn't me.
Yes. She did it.
You didn't mean it, did you Gaby?
Don't worry. I'll get you another ball.
Thank you.
During this period of crisis...
have you noticed anything strange in Gaby's behavior?
No. On the contrary, she's very well adapted.
I even think she's advanced for her age.
"Advanced?"
Could it be because she has a lot of pressure?
Is that bad?
I think it would be best if we observe her for a while.
If something comes up, we'll be in touch.
Fine. Thank you for everything, and
I'll keep you informed about Gaby.
Of course.
Don't worry too much. Kids are like that.
I hope so!
Nice to meet you. See you soon.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Thank you.
Javalin was right.
Ibar wants the girl.
No, baby.
Of course I love you.
I'll try to cancel my engagement.
I'll call you at nine.
If not, go on ahead to the party.
If I can't make it, I'll see you another day.
I give you my word.
And, I have a surprise for you.
But if I tell you it won't be a surprise.
Yes, the meeting will be at nine.
Goodbye.
What's up?
I spoke with the counselor.
And?
She said that Gaby's having problems,
and that it's our fault.
She asked me if we had a good relationship.
And what did you tell her?
I lied.
I said yes.
"Gaby."
"I'm your friend."
"I am not Ibar."
"I want to help you."
"No. Don't be frightened."
"I am Colibri." -No, no, leave me alone.
"Guide me to where you are."
Leave me alone!
"I want to help you."
"You're in danger, Gaby."
"I am not Ibar."
Go away!
"Tell me where you are, Gaby."
"Guide me to where you are."
"Yes, like that, Gaby."
"Concentrate."
"Like that."
"I'm your friend."
"I'm your friend and I want to help you."
"I'm sick and tired of this."
"I want nothing more to do with you."
That's blackmail!
Don't use my going to therapy as an excuse to do as you please.
Yes. It's all my fault, isn't it?
What you need to do is take better care of Gaby.
You neglect her.
Gaby is a very mature girl.
She doesn't need to cling to my skirt all day.
Yeah? How convenient for you!
And not for you?
You sure take advantage of your freedom!
You're not doing me any favors.
Get that into your head.
"Roberto."
"Please. Calm down."
Let's try... - Leave me alone!
Why won't you listen to me? Just for once in your life!
Once! Think about it!
You never ask about what I do
while you are at work.
You don't care!
"And do you ever show an interest in my problems?"
Then don't think it strange
that I look for people who'll listen to me.
I need friends too.
Friends? Your friends?
The ones you cry with until 3 in the morning?
And me, your husband, taking care of your daughter?
My daughter!
Now it's my daughter.
I suppose I got pregnant by some phantom!
Is that what you're going to tell me?
Going to your meetings and coming home at 3 in the morning?
Hello Gaby. How are you?
Who are you? I think I know you.
I'm Colibri.
I love you very much Gaby.
I know you feel very confused, very alone, right?
Have you seen Ibar?
I don't know, but I think so.
What a pretty toy.
I'm going to change it
for this amulet that will protect you.
May the gods be with you, Gaby.
Gaby!
How many times have I told you not to leave the house like that?
Come on.
Good afternoon.
Thank you for looking after her.
Excuse us.
Madame.
Your daughter is very special.
Get in the house.
Take care of her.
Gaby, who is that man?
I don't know, but he said he'd protect me with this.
You're starting with your wild stories, again?
That's why you're in trouble at school!
Do you think he'll come get us Tuno?
I think he will.
Will you protect me?
No!
Laura.
Wake up.
Laura!
What? -Your daughter.
Yeah, my daughter. It's always my daughter.
Help me! Help!
Help me!
Papa! Mama!
She's screaming! -"Help me!"
Go with me. Let's see what's wrong.
Help me!
"Come help me."
Papa! Mama!
It's another one of her nightmares.
No. Gaby!
Gaby!
Gabriela!
Help me! -"Gaby!"
"Gabriela!" -"Help me!"
-"Help me!" -"Gaby!"
Gaby! Gabriela, where are you?
"Help me!" -Gaby!
Gabriela!
Gabriela! Stop hiding! -"Help me! Help me!"
"Where are you?"
Gabriela!
"Mama!" -Gaby?
Gaby, tell me where you are! Don't hide, please!
Gabriela! Gaby! "Help me! Help me!"
Where is she? -I don't know. We must keep looking.
"Help me please. Help me."
Gabriela!
Gaby! "Help me!"
Gaby, baby, where are you?
Gaby! -Gaby!
Tuno!
"Help me! " -"Tuno!"
Gabriela!
"Help me!"
"Help me!"
You look there! I'll go to the kitchen. -Yes.
Gaby!
Gaby! -"Help me. Help!"
Gaby!
Gaby! -"Help me!"
Help! Help me!
"Help me!"
Gabriela! Gabriela!
"Help me!" -"Where are you baby?"
"Mama. Papa." -Roberto!
Roberto!
Where is she? -I can't find her!
"Help me!"
Upstairs!
Gaby!
"Help me! Help!" -"Gaby, tell me where you are."
Tuno!
"What happened?"
How soon can you have some information for me?
In a couple of hours, but I should tell you
someone very strong tore apart that dog by hand.
Bare hands?
Bare hands,
because there is no sign of any sharp object.
Anything else?
Not for the moment.
Call me when you know more.
Explain everything to me.
I want to understand the situation.
You're angry because your wife neglects your daughter.
What does that have to do with anything?
I have to thoroughly investigate that's happened here.
When Gaby disappeared, my wife and I were sleeping.
Right, Laura?
I was sleeping.
You woke me up!
Gonzales, leave us alone, please.
Yes, sir.
Why don't you get your stories straight?
What are you trying to say?
That I made my daughter disappear?
That I tore up all the stuff in her room?
That I was playing hidden recordings of her here?
That I threw knives in the kitchen, and killed the *** dog?
Tuno!
His name is Tuno!
Don't get excited.
The problem is we don't have any clues.
Anything you can tell us may help.
That's all you can do, cast doubt upon me?
What do you want me to do, go out and search for her?
If you can't do anything else, then leave.
I don't need you for anything!
You're right.
You're right.
If you will excuse me, ma'am.
We'll contact you when we have the report from forensics.
You know where to find me.
Now what are you doing?
Looking for help.
There's got to be someone who can help us.
Will you say we have a haunted house?
Then what do you suggest I do?
Get drunk with you?
That must be those imbeciles. Get the door!
I know who took your daughter.
Goblins? Chaneques? - "Yes, chaneques."
A chaneque is a primitive spirit looking for a means to enter our reality.
They are inferior demons searching for a way into this world.
Sometimes they are playful, pranksters.
At most, they play meaningless tricks.
But there are others,
like this one,
who are desparate.
They are harmful chaneques.
Actually, they are not of this world.
They are primitive, primeval.
What does that have to do with my daughter Gaby?
Your daughter is a solitary spirit,
almost a spirit of light,
an... empty spirit.
She's the perfect portal into the world of the chaneques
and other primitive spirits.
My baby!
This is not the moment for us to grieve.
Something must be done!
How?
First, we need to trap the chaneque.
He's here, but in a parallel universe.
He knows how to get here.
We must find a way to trap him.
How?
Chaneques are extremely gluttonous.
Do what I tell you.
We need food.
They like wheat and sweets very much.
Do you know altars of the Day of the Dead?
Will this do?
Chaneques like beautiful things.
They steal them and take them to their world.
You'll need to construct a net.
What shall we use?
Only things that have been in contact with the girl.
The chaneque and the girl are together.
Together, but separate.
The girl must be very confused.
Here.
These are her clothes.
"That should do it."
Are you sure we have to do this?
Earth is the chaneque's natural element.
In order for it to come, we need to gain its trust.
Gaby!
It's okay!
Help me!
"Colibri!"
"Colibri!"
He's getting away!
After him!
Colibri!
Roberto!
Roberto!
Don't move! Stay where you are!
I'll try and get you!
It'll be okay. It'll be okay.
The portal has closed!
Nooooo!
Roberto!
Roberto!
No!
Laura!
Laura!!
Robertoooohunhhunhnoooo!
Calm down!
You've been hurt! - That's my husband!
You've been hurt!
Calm down.
Not everything is lost.
We know the portal is here,
and we have the key.
Laura!
Gaby!
Gaby!
Gaby!
Gaby!
Gaby!
The chaneque's blood and my blood,
will be the key of entry into the other dimension.
Gaby!
God...is...
an...infinite...circle,
whose center...
is...
everywhere.
Everywhere.
Everywhere!
You must be very careful.
You must keep this burning.
The wounded arm is your access to the other dimension.
If this incense is extinguished,
we cannot return, ever again.
It's only a nightmare.
Your mama loves you very much.
It's only a nightmare.
Your mama loves you very much.
It's only a nightmare.
Your mama loves you very much.
It's only a nightmare.
It's only a nightmare.
Your mama loves you very much.
Your mama loves you very much.
It's only a nightmare.
Colibri!
Colibri!
I'm coming!
Colibri!
Colibri!
And Gaby?
Let's go get her.
Over there.
Let's go.
Gaby!
Papa! Papa! I need you!
Help me! I need you!
Help! Help! I need you!
Gaby!
My daughter!
What's the matter with you, are you crazy?!
Take it easy! It's Ibar!
It's all been a hallucination.
I told you. It's Ibar.
The chaneque's cave is over there.
Gaby!
Gaby!
Daddy!
Gaby!
Let's go.
Let's go.
"If the incense goes out, the portalwill be closed."
Quickly, before the portal closes.
Roberto?
Gaby!
Quickly!
That's the portal.
Return to your world.
My darling!
One month later...
Ah la ru ru, baby.
Ah la ru ru, now.
Sleep for me my baby.
Sleep for me, now.
