Help! You Bastard!
"It takes the most beautiful forms.
It gives us sight and senses.
Exalts our most primal instincts.
The devil is everywhere."
No one is going to hurt you again.
"Evil knows how to get us to let our guard down."
"Although the land is fertile...
...the water crystal clear,
and the plants can heal like they do in paradise,
evil hides in these mountains."
Amaia.
Amaia, what's wrong?
What is it?
What?
Leave me alone.
You get out, too!
"Unexplained visions,
disappearances..."
THE BOARDING SCHOOL: LAS CUMBRES
"For centuries,
the inhabitants of these mountains have given themselves to sin
and lust."
"Always lust."
"Look, Mr. Arturo, this is beyond me."
Beyond romanticism,
beyond literature,
beyond allegories and analogies.
What's left?
I'm a botanist, that's what interests me,
the science behind the metaphor.
Don't limit your idea of alchemy
with such an analytical viewpoint.
I try to be reasonable.
Darling Elvira,
one who lives within reason,
lives without the spirit.
Paracelsus.
Brother Angel, this glass?
Someone got into the tower last night.
It may be the same person.
I would warn the Prior.
Thank you.
See you at Mass, brother Elias.
"The appearance of things
is determined by how they are observed.
Maybe that will make you understand
that when the gates of hell are open,
evil...
...roams free."
Did you find Manu?
"The important thing is finding truth.
Truth...
is the real philosopher's stone that every alchemist seeks."
THE TRUTH?
Ok.
Can someone tell me the meaning of this phrase?
"Souls of the dead will fall into hell".
Very good, Paul.
You got it.
Where were you, dude? I was worried.
I'll tell you later.
You don't look so good, are you ok?
I've been better.
Honestly, I'm not feeling great.
But anyway.
Anyone ask for me?
Having fun with your new friends?
Hm?
The last person who beat me up,
was on the wrong end of a shotgun.
It was my dad.
You! Stop!
Let her go!
Your sister is viper.
I'll handle her.
Oh, yeah? What're you gonna do?
She said she was gonna shoot me.
You're not gonna do anything.
You always choose her over me.
Always!
What? You like her that much?
You've lost it.
Get it together.
I don't want to.
If Elias took Manuel in that absurd mask,
why don't we do something?
What do we do?
We beat him up?
Yes, we beat him up.
Needles in his nails, pull his teeth out.
So, he'll tell us where the fuck Manuel is.
Amaia, I don't like contradicting you,
but it's not your best idea.
You're afraid.
Of course I'm afraid.
In that painting there are more masks.
Elias is one of many, understand?
What do we do then?
Ines.
I'm racking my brain, trying to find a way to help you.
But I need you on my side.
You haven't noticed anything from the treatments?
No.
Nothing at all.
Shall I come tomorrow?
Did you not hear the bell?
Would you stay a moment?
I'm glad you came.
Sit here, please.
I have a class now.
Just a minute.
I can't play.
I don't want you to.
Just run your fingers over it.
Get a feel for the keys.
I really must go.
That's enough!
Leave me alone!
What would Mara say about you locking me in your room?
-And you won't stop. -I didn't lock you in.
I...
Didn't want anyone to see you like that.
Listen to me.
I'm gonna get my dad to fire you.
Don't come near me again.
Fuck.
Amaia.
What we looking for?
Light.
I don't know.
Something of Elias'
that could lead us to Manu.
Yes, of course, like a map with an arrow on it
that says: "Manuel's here".
Better yet, let's go mess him up.
The lighter.
Did you see that box?
The mask is in there.
Let's follow him.
All right, quick thinking.
Fuck!
Why not get your tambourine out
for all to hear?
Your sister's friends broke my hearing aids.
He's...
Quietly.
- He's left the box. -Yes, in the library.
Let's follow him.
He's left...
Fuck
He's back there.
He's gone.
What if Manuel is in there?
I don't know, get off of me and let's check.
He must be this way.
There's nowhere else.
Careful.
You remember the painting?
Somebody with a mask buried a man in the ground.
It's crooked.
Elias has moved this tombstone.
What if he locked Manu down there?
I hope it's him, otherwise it's a corpse.
One,
-two.. -Three.
No Manu here.
We should leave the dead alone.
Wait.
You don't think Manu's inside?
We have to make sure.
We can't leave without checking.
Grab it there.
One, two...
I present to you, Yolanda Pascual.
She's buried face down.
-Fucking nasty! -Ok, Amaia, enough.
"The desire for immortality is a trap used by the devil.
Local alchemists sought to defeat death with their potions."
"We remind you of the importance
of respect so please keep all electronic devices switched off."
-You're crazy. -This suit turns me on.
-Hey. -Hm?
Should we get Julio?
It's more fun that way.
Dude, just forget it, Eric.
You like him too, right?
Oh, no. Wait, wait.
You like me?
In your dreams, pal.
You miss me when we're not together?
We both live here.
When would I miss you? While changing my pad?
For example.
-Hey, listen. -What?
I'd rather stick pins in my balls
than make you mad.
Forget about Julio.
I mean, no need to be so radical.
Besides, you and I have fun alone.
Yeah.
No. Eric, no, no, no.
Eric! Eric, what's wrong?
What's up?
Adele.
I don't want you hanging around Rita
or her friends.
-Clear? -Don't give me orders, let me go.
If you promise me you'll get over Rita.
I can't promise you that.
Cause we're together.
Together how?
Don't get involved with that thug.
She's not a thug.
What about what she did to Amaia?
Adele, I know you.
You don't like her.
I know you don't like her.
What do you know? You have no idea.
Adele, what's the matter?
Huh?
Hey.
Why are you doing this?
Cause I'm sick of being your lapdog.
That's the matter.
You lot, pick up the balls left in the yard.
This change affects the budgets for the year.
Why did you do it, Dario? I don't get it.
Because we needed those machines.
Could I have foreseen it? Perhaps, but I didn't.
You can't turn the school
into a center to cure your daughter.
-Of course. -You can't.
Hey darling, everything ok?
Something to tell me?
No.
I just wanted to say hi.
I talked with Fran.
I'm all good.
Great.
Ok.
If you'd left a 20 on the nightstand,
I wouldn't have felt any worse.
I'm sorry.
I understand all this isn't easy for you,
but you have no right
to jump in and out of my bed whenever you feel like it.
Yolanda Pascual.
A former student.
Then what?
Why is she buried there?
Look.
Tripi was in her class.
Yeah, she was in my class.
She was crazy.
-I was with her a lot. -Why?
Because she was hot.
But that's not the only reason.
Why do you say she was crazy?
Cause she never got along with anyone.
She'd get on everybody's nerves.
One day she went out in the yard naked.
It was amazing.
How did she die?
No idea, dude.
One day she disappeared and then they said she was dead.
No one cared much.
Thanks, kid.
Rita, open your locker.
My locker, why?
Open your locker, Rita.
I didn't expect this from you.
Come here.
-Rita. -But..
It wasn't me.
Rita.
You got time?
Oh, you look great.
Did you get a haircut?
Stay away from my sister.
Is that clear?
No way.
-You hear me? -I can hear you.
Idiot.
Let's see...
Thank you.
For the clip?
Yeah, that too.
Look what I found.
What you doing?
Check this out.
I made a little drawing.
Look.
I'm the hot one...
...and you, the ugly one.
In your dreams.
It's Manu's, right?
Where was this?
We had to clean the lost and found storage...
They won't let us catch our breath today.
Take us there.
To the storage?
-Yes. -Why?
Let's go.
You look good, Rita.
Why did you steal it?
As a gift to you.
Seriously?
Come with me.
I want you to...
burn this.
Sorry?
-Why burn it? -For me.
What?
No.
I can't, he's my brother.
You said it yourself.
He ditches you, he's always with Amaia.
I don't want to.
Nothing belonging to Yolanda.
Fuck.
Look at this underwear. Who leaves this here?
One day, all that will be left of our time here
will be a pair of boxers and some panties.
Well, I'll leave filthy ones then.
Me too.
Here it is.
Yolanda Pascual.
This is really cute.
Nothing else?
How's it look?
A little big.
Something here.
What is it?
A letter?
It's like a diary entry.
Yes.
"May 23rd.
Today's been awful.
The teachers wouldn't let me stay in bed
despite the cold sweats and the tremors.
I hate them, I wish they were dead.
They laugh at me
ever since they found me naked.
I have no idea how I got there.
I zone out completely at times.
It's like I stop existing and then I come back.
Nothing reassures me anymore, not even...
...my blue amulet.
I want this hell to end.
I never believed in God, but now I believe in the devil.
When they come to get me, I'll go with them".
But who was coming to get her?
I don't know.
She said, "my blue amulet".
In Elias' box, with the mask,
was a blue amulet.
That box must be somewhere in the library.
It's the same.
The tremors,
the cold sweats,
the memory loss...
You saw me before.
It was like...
like I ceased...
...to exist.
That urge to kill someone who...
Am I going crazy?
-"How funny." -What's this?
Get lost, Adele.
What?
-Why? - They got us.
But not on four
-Yeah. - Rita!
Rita, please, tell them to let me in.
Go away, now.
Got caught... little chic face.
Really.
It always ends up here.
Thank you.
By the way, they're bringing the new machine tomorrow.
So please, talk to Fran,
get it installed immediately.
-Ok. -Great.
When will we see each other again?
Don't spoil this.
It was a nice moment, huh?
"It's a rough draft.
But I've made findings in my lab...
related to vegetation native to this area."
"I think it could clearly reflect
the point of my thesis."
ARTURO LAGO PRIOR
It's a response
to the strange phenomena you talked about.
Explaining the folklore
and the local esoteric literature.
What do you think?
I'm not sure you want to know what I think.
It's barely scratched the surface, dear Elvira.
I'm sorry, Mr. Arturo.
You're a man of faith, I understand your point of view.
But understand my work is scientific.
You speak of mysticism
as if it were nothing more than quack science.
-I did not use those terms. -Because they're too big.
Until you understand
the enormous influence evil has on people,
your thesis won't get beyond
a collection of recipes from Grandma's apothecary.
I apologize...
I belong to the Dominican Order.
Do you know Latin?
"Dominicans."
We're the dogs of the Lord.
We're his army.
This congregation,
brother Elias and myself,
we have a mission:
to fight against the devil.
He'll always have me and my men in front of him.
No box here, just books.
Silence.
You don't come here to talk.
Want to be reported?
Come.
What's it?
The Church Archive.
Here it is.
Here, turn it on.
Ok.
This is it.
Yolanda's notebook.
The rest of her diary.
"May 24th.
I'm afraid but I'm going to the monastery.
It's the only way.
I'm going to free myself from the demon inside me.
Brother Elias is the only one I can trust.
He'll know what to do.
He said he's done other...
...exorcisms".
That's why she was buried face down.
She was possessed.
Come.
Here, here.

1653.
1732.
RAVEN'S NEST
RAVEN'S NEST FILES
Exorcism records
for members of the Raven's Nest.
I don't understand, Yolanda was a member?
If these are her things, so was the mask.
It's not the monks,
they've fought if for centuries.
But if it's not them, then who?
Thanks for coming.
It's okay.
-What do you want? -Listen.
What do you have to say?
Come with me.
I wanna show you a place.
I'll tell you everything.
I'm not going anywhere.
-Please. -Let me go.
I'm sorry.
I'd like to apologize again.
I behaved like an idiot.
Honestly, yes you did.
You're full of surprises.
You're a strict teacher,
but committed to the students.
A monk that doubts God.
A man hidden underneath that habit.
And now, my thesis director.
They tell me...
...you're an exorcist.
I quit a long time ago.
Something terrible happened, I'll never forgive myself.
"Yolanda Pascual.
She was...
...a girl from the valley."
"She suffered greatly...
...and inexplicably."
"Strange occurrences."
I had many doubts.
But the Prior insisted that we file a report.
There was definite evidence.
And she was convinced she had a demon inside her.
She couldn't take it.
You'll come to God with love, prince of demons!
-Say your name. - No!
Jesus Christ himself commands you!
Tell me your name, demon!
Jesus Christ commands you, he who sacrificed himself!
- No! - And resurrected after death!
I lost my faith that day,
I lost myself.
She was just a kid who needed help.
I've seen Yolanda's symptoms in other students.
What do you mean?
Something is going on.
And it's not the air in these mountains
or the smoke from these lands.
No, there's always a rational explanation, Elias.
"There's a place near here
If I get close and scream
No one will hear
It's like a calling
A calling from within
Appears constantly
Running through my dreams
And I don't know, don't know
If I should continue this way
Should I go
And never return
Leave this place
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Run, away from here
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
There's a place near here
If I get close and scream
No one will hear
It's like a calling
A calling from within
Appearing constantly
Running through my dreams
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Run, away from here
Run, run, run
Away from here
Run, run, run
Run"
