After years of liberating her people from the Spaniards,
Zazil disappeared.
There are no official records,
but folklore says she went to a house on the water.
An island that even the gods forgot about.
Because there…
only the dead can rest.
Carlota?
Carlota, are you listening to me?
Welcome to the Island of the Dead.
You know?
The name is a tribute to your friends.
Come on.
Let's find some tombs.
You heard her, let's go.
Inés!
- Are you okay? - Octavio…
- Are you okay? - Leo!
Take your jacket off.
I know you love it, but it'll kill you.
Miguel, are you all right?
- Where's Lucas? - I can't see them.
Where's Citlali?
Lucas! Citlali!
Lucas.
What are you doing? Let's go!
- Lucas. - I can't.
- Lucas, look at me!
Lucas, look at me.
Look. Do you trust me? I'm here, okay? I'm here.
Can you? Okay.
One, two, three.
Lucas! Over there.
- Lucas! - Are you okay?
- You did it! - I did it.
Save your strength, we're still far from the beach.
Yes. We have to go.
Either sharks eat us or we die of hypothermia.
What? Sharks?
- You said sharks? - No.
Don't scare the kid.
There's nothing. Just little fish.
My backpack!
Octavio.
Maybe we can get your boat back.
- Didn't you have a Zodiac on the boat? - I did, but forget it!
- It's 15 meters underwater. - 15 meters?
- I'll get it. - Wait, Citlali! Let me.
- Okay. - And… now.
- No, wait. Citlali! - Citlali!
I'm timing her.
Aren't you tired of being her puppet?
She's been using you to do her dirty work all her life,
and you let her because you're obsessed with her.
Wow. That must be so humiliating.
You have to let me go.
You owe me.
Isn't this great?
Just like playing treasure hunt when we were little.
Oh, right. I forgot Dad only played that game with you.
Wow, you're as hung up as ever.
This reminds me of how unbearable you were
making me go everywhere with you.
Well, if Dad played with the maids,
why couldn't I do the same?
Don't do anything stupid.
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ARCHEOLOGY
Good morning.
I'm sorry, but the facilities are closed.
You can't be here. I'm sorry.
Excuse me--
Look, we now have transportation.
Mano, take the guard's radio.
- How long has it been? - Five minutes, 15 seconds.
What? That's a long time.
Citlali!
- I can't see her. - What if something happens to her?
- What if she doesn't come up? - Of course she will.
If anyone can do this, it's her.
She can do it.
How long has it been?
Five minutes, 40 seconds.
She can do it.
Freedom!
Citlali, you rule! You're the boss!
- Oh, you're so sweet. - Yes.
Octavio, I'm sorry about your boat.
Never mind, there will be others.
He's dead.
Really?
Thanks, Octavio, I don't know what we'd do without you.
Are you planning on going ahead without weapons?
I can stay and watch the boat, so it doesn't drift away.
We can't split up now.
Do you want to stay alone?
If they kill one, they kill us all.
We have to follow them, but at a distance, without getting close.
I can see Jeep tracks.
Must've been his.
Well, now we know which way to go.
I'm sorry.
Rest in peace.
Zazil, where are you?
You have no idea where the tomb is, do you?
The tomb hasn't been accounted for.
It should be among the uncatalogued ones.
You heard her.
Look for it.
Come on. Split up!
- Miguel… - What?
At least it's not hard to follow their tracks.
Come on, guys. Don't stop.
- Lucas. - Lucas, don't look.
I live in my own bubble.
I'm not planning on sleeping here.
So either we find the tomb, or I'm going to--
Or what?
What else will you take from me?
I should have left Miguel Morales alive.
He'd know how to find the tomb.
Miguel…
What would you look for?
That's a Ceiba tree.
Follow her!
Come on.
Back to the roots.
Beautiful. So what?
It could be literal.
Ceibas are sacred trees. Miguel told me that a thousand times.
Maybe Zazil's tomb is here.
Hey, have you seen all this?
- Miguel… - Miguel.
I'm sorry, but…
it's not normal.
Well done, Lilí. Of course she's buried under the Ceiba tree.
Ceibas were sacred, the connection between Xibalbá and Heaven.
- Though it wasn't the same Heaven-- - Hey, shall we go?
- What? Where are we going? - To get Lilí. She's right there!
- But without getting too close. - Obviously.
Be smart, or they'll kill her.
- Or Citlali, Lucas, or Octavio. - Hey.
Well, not Octavio.
No, no.
Zazil.
Well done, Lilí.
There's something here.
It's a chest.
Another fucking piece with Cortés' mark.
Tell me that's not all.
There are some scrolls.
No trace of the Tear of Fire. We'll never find anything.
- They found nothing. - There's no treasure.
Maybe this is the clue
to finding the diamond.
Any minute now, this will get pretty crowded.
We're taking the box. I hope you figure it out.
Who'd have thought?
You and me together.
Just like in the old days.
Excuse me.
What do you want? Rum and Coke, mezcal, carajillo?
Hi, how are you? What can I get you?
A mojito
and a rum and Coke.
- To toast to the past. - Okay. Right away.
- Good morning. - Hi.
- State Police.
I'd like to ask you a few questions, please.
We got the waitress.
- Do you know what you have to do? - Yes.
You're coming with me. Here.
- Good luck. - Let's go.
Good luck.
What did you get?
This.
- This? - I can open anything with this.
So professional, right?
The most important thing is to be careful. Keep calm.
How about this one?
- No. - No?
Obviously not this one.
No, that's a shitty piece of junk.
This one is too small.
We wouldn't fit.
Well, in the back.
- Yeah, but we'd be seen. - Right.
Besides, if it rains, we get wet.
This one's perfect. The blue one.
It reminds me of my parents' car when we were kids.
- I think the black one is perfect. - Why?
First, because this color sucks.
I don't know about your old car, but if it was like this, they had bad taste.
Second, this one is much newer.
Its security system, believe it or not, is a joke.
It's easier than this one, and bigger. I'll handle this, you handle the bikes.
Okay, boat captain. Let me show you how it's done.
- Let's see who opens it first. - Okay.
Here I go.
We have to be discreet, Lucas.
- People are looking. - Walk normally.
I am.
Over there.
We need a Philips screwdriver.
I bought them online.
They're great.
Philips screwdriver.
- Hurry up, Lucas. - Philips screwdriver.
Screwdriver.
This is a level.
Philips screwdriver.
This is well-built.
So Zazil spent all her money on slaves.
How naive.
She freed her people.
She didn't.
She freed a few.
You think the conquistadors were affected at all?
- You see anything about the diamond? - No.
Maybe Ariel could help us.
- That guy doesn't know anything. - Excuse me.
Did you order a mojito?
Iced tea?
We didn't order this.
It's fine, I'll have it.
Here are some napkins.
Cheers.
TOILET
It's loosening.
- The other way around. - Okay.
I get why these aren't in video games.
Come on.
Motherfucker, you son of a bitch. Open up!
What a piece of shit lock picks.
I almost got it.
Octavio? Octavio.
- Octavio! - What?!
- You know what…? Hello. - Good morning. Nice beach day.
Do you know what one log says to another?
- What? - I'll tell you later.
Fucking shit.
- How good was Miguel in bed? - What?
I know how Leo is.
I need to use the toilet.
You're so boring.
Or you could give me your glass, and I'll piss in it.
So dramatic.
Mano!
The little girl has to pee. Keep an eye on her.
Want to come in and wipe me too?
Don't do anything weird.
And don't close the door.
Hurry up.
What now?
Toilet, yes, right. So?
- There it is. - Done.
- Almost. - I'll go.
- Now the top one. - Top one?
Yes, there are four.
- How do you think this holds up? Come on. - I can't reach.
If you can't, neither can I.
Fucking hell!
How's it going?
Great, almost got it.
Yes, I can tell. I've almost got it too.
I'm being discreet.
- It's tight, Miguel. - Come on.
Oh, man. The cops.
- What? - The cops.
- Oh no, I called them. - Why?
- Lucas! - I mean…
I only have one hand.
I know.
Lucas!
You're alive.
Where is she?
In the stall.
I don't understand--
Because her friends are alive, asshole.
Freeze right there, miss!
You too.
- Hands where I can see them. - Why?
Because we found dead park rangers on the island, and we know you were there.
- We want to talk to you. - Is this a fucking joke?
No, it's not a fucking joke.
Octavio. This chicken just crapped.
Wasn't there a van with fewer animals?
Do you think these chickens can transmit diseases to us?
Because I once read that they can transmit psoriasis,
leprosy, prostate cancer--
Come on, Lucas!
Love for animals
is the noblest attribute a human being can have.
On the other hand, I didn't find this junk.
Complaints go to Leo.
Sorry, guys. We couldn't find anything better.
I was about to open a much better car, and it was animal-free.
I felt it was enough
after you'd been trying for 15 minutes and started fighting the door.
- I won't argue with that. - Of course not.
We have no idea where the treasure is, do we?
No. There were only gold pieces like those in Guerrero's tomb
and scrolls full of glyphs.
Codices?
- They're codices. - Right.
- Where are the codices? - Oh, sorry.
I didn't have time to steal them while I was kidnapped.
I don't have time to play cops and robbers while Regina is holding my son hostage.
So speed it up, Bandolis.
- You're both. - I have to go back to Mérida!
Yes. Do you guys know where there's a gas station?
Enough, please.
What?
Yes, sir.
Let them go.
- What? - Let them go, asshole.
Excuse me, miss.
Ma'am, I apologize.
The truth is the inspector gave us bad information about you.
We made a mistake.
- Don't worry. - It was…
You were just doing your job.
I'll talk to your superiors so you get some well-deserved rest.
My stuff.
- If I leave now, I can still catch them. - No.
Just get rid of the fucking kid.
Hey. Stop, look! They sell gasoline here.
I don't think this gasoline is legal.
You're one to talk.
- Do we have money? - I do. Hold on.
I have 69 pesos.
Enough for candy.
What candy costs 69 pesos?
I'll handle it.
- Wait. - What are you doing?
You're gonna do your thing, right? I want to learn.
Come on.
- Follow my lead. - Okay.
So hot.
What's up?
- Hi. - How are you?
Hey, boy.
- Hi, good af-- - How are you?
Good afternoon.
- May I? - No… yes.
- Yes or no? - Yes, go ahead.
Go on.
You won't believe what just happened to us.
We were going to a party, and we ran out of gas on the way.
Empty.
I think it was the local fuel smugglers.
Yes. Whatever.
That's why we wanted to ask you a favor.
Would you let us refuel here?
Just a little. I saw you do have gas.
Besides, you'd be very sweet to help us.
And the party is right next door. You could come by later.
- Have a drink with us. We'll pay for it. - We have an awesome DJ friend.
And plenty of beautiful girl friends for you.
Where are you from?
- Yes. - Sorry. Just a second.
- What are you doing? - Following your lead?
You're going too far, he's shaking.
He's been nervous since we walked in.
ISLAND OF THE DEAD MURDERS
Wow, they're looking for us already?
I'm sorry. I called when you arrived.
Right. That wasn't cool.
- Freak. - No. Don't shoot!
Go! Let's go!
The cops are coming!
- What? - I said hit the gas!
Wait.
Oh, come on!
Just what we needed.
They could be looking for drugs.
Anyone have drugs?
They're not looking for drugs.
Maybe they are.
But they're kind of handing out flyers.
Those are our photos. I don't know how they did it.
In a few hours we were on Search and Seizure.
You need a warrant from the Public Prosecutor's Office for that.
I told you Regina had a lot of power, not to mess with her.
You told us, huh? What a nice gesture, Carlota.
We need to get off the road.
Are these roads safe?
Yes, they are.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I'm positive.
Bravo.
I'm sorry, guys.
Stop, dude! You're choking it.
Well, we can't go any further.
If we look at the bright side, we got some shade.
Let's get out.
- I'm such an idiot. - Are you okay?
- My crooked hand! - Oh no.
Inés, do you remember…
You remember when we met, when you arrested me?
Of course. You fell head over heels for me.
You fainted.
Since then and forever.
No. I wanted to tell you, at that time they'd kidnapped my father.
He was held captive for three days.
Alex is going to be fine.
They need him as collateral. They just want the treasure.
We'll find it.
- Thanks. - Come here.
I'm all sweaty, sorry.
A juicy kiss.
Attention. I'll give you the report.
We're out of fuel.
We have no supplies.
We have no money.
We have no cell phones.
I still have mine. Look.
- I have 69 pesos. - Perfect.
We have a phone, 69 pesos, and my knife.
Let's go. The hotel is far away.
It's going to take years to get there.
Sooner we go, sooner we get there.
Your logic is flawless.
Thanks.
Can we stop for a mango?
- Mango? - A coconut, or plum--
- I have money for a mango. - Mangoes have worms.
Earlier I remembered Acapulco.
Do you remember?
I stole the car, and you dressed up as a Chiapas saleswoman.
- Yes, with my flowers from Zinacantán. - Yes.
I loved it.
- Thank you for coming back for me. - No one gets left behind.
Hey, when I ran away from home as a teenager,
Leo found me on the street
and helped me. And you know what?
I didn't tell him my name at first either.
I've had so many names.
- It doesn't matter to me. - Lilí, I don't care.
What do you want to know?
Tell me.
I'll tell you anything you want.
Nothing. I…
I'm fine, thank you.
Look…
We'll find the Tear of Fire.
I'll help you out of your problem.
And then I never want to see you again.
It's for the best.
It'll be fine.
Hey.
I'm coming.
Where's the kid?
I don't know.
What are you looking for?
Strawberries, mushrooms, chives, radish.
And where are they?
I haven't found any yet.
Oh.
But I have weeds.
You'll thank me when we're on the brink of starvation.
I think I'm hungrier than that, dude.
Lilí?
You fucked Regina.
What? I mean, no. I mean, yeah.
I mean, I didn't fuck her. The opposite.
What do you mean the opposite?
Hey, no. You can't be like that.
You left.
You disappeared, remember?
And that bitch kidnapped me and tortured me and…
You think I had a choice?
Yes, I chose that over who knows what.
Is it done?
No.
What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
The kid lives.
I've done everything you've asked, but not this.
It's getting dark.
Look at this place.
Not bad for a short stay, right?
Wow, it's pretty cool.
I hope they fumigated.
It's just for one night, Lucas. We'll make a plan tomorrow.
It's beautiful.
You're lucky I found this along the way.
Smells delicious.
What is it?
It's mushrooms and parsley.
- And this…? - Don't touch! It's not ready yet.
Canché, it's Inés.
Where are you, Inés? What trouble are you in now, girl?
Are you with criminals?
No. We're not the bad guys, Canché.
Your face is everywhere.
- You think I don't know that? - Don't come back.
Your mustachioed boss already suspended you.
- Fucking mustachioed son of a-- - Hey!
My phone didn't do anything to you. Calm down.
It doesn't matter, it's not even charged.
- Yes. - Kind of like that, right?
Yes. Slightly less anime, but very good.
Zazil paying gold to free her people, yes.
Gerónimo, Gonzalo, Zazil, they steal the gold.
Gonzalo… Dead.
Yes.
Then Zazil pays for her people's freedom
- with the gold. - Of her people, yes.
What she did was amazing.
She gave them some dignity back.
Wait.
- So there's no treasure? - Yes. There's a lot of gold.
And emeralds, rubies, everything.
Miguel, that's Zazil with the Tear of Fire, right?
The Tear of Fire?
Yes, it was one… one piece.
A very valuable one, among others.
What are you not telling us?
Who? What?
What's wrong with you?
"I tostofil rarreee."
What soup does the mushroom have?
I picked mushrooms, and put them in the soup.
- Oh no. - Parsley.
And also parsley.
Now I know what kind of mushrooms they were.
Calm down, calm down…
Bandolis.
It's Zazil with the Tear of Fire.
There's no treasure.
No, yes, there is.
Inés!
What is it?
- Did you notice it too? - Notice what?
How they lie.
Yes! No, wait, who?
Everyone lies. But mostly her, look.
Yes, she's lying.
Yes.
She's lying.
Double, double…
Liar.
Liar. You little liar.
Oh.
Are you real?
The dozen costs 70.
Hi.
You are real.
Seventy?
Yes.
Okay, hold on.
I have 69.
Morning, hummingbirds.
Miguel, you scared me.
Is that corn?
Octavio, what did you give us?
He's still high.
But you had a great time last night.
- Yes. Great party. - Can I have one?
- Breakfast. - Anyone?
- I have good news. - What?
- I know how to get home. - How?
You'll love it.
REWARD
Here, in case you see them.
STATE POLICE
Ich habe einen Hund.
What did you say?
Good morning.
No, that's Guten Morgen.
You said, "I have a dog."
I don't have a dog.
Don't say anything next time.
Come on, Citlali, yodel…
How was that?
Now you, Octavio, yodel for us…
What happened?
Ximena?
Xime!
Dad!
Xime!
Over here!
Dad!
Over here.
What happened?
The landowner and his men escaped.
I forgot about him.
I told you they'd go ballistic.
Thank you.
Dad?
What?
Forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Canché, no. I'm calling from Miguel's hotel.
Relax, Canché, no. No one is going to trace the call.
Just tell me if you know anything about Alex.
I'll call you later.
They know nothing.
Octavio.
Octavio!
Are you okay?
Have the mushrooms worn off? Everything okay?
I saw it.
Nature is wise.
Mushrooms don't lie.
I saw it all.
What did you see?
I saw everything. The whole play.
I didn't see the tree, I saw the forest. Not the tile, but the mosaic.
I didn't see the cheese or the tomato, I saw the caprese salad.
Okay, what are you saying? I don't understand. What did you see?
The Tear of Fire.
We were completely blind.
How didn't we see it before?
Call Regina.
We'll offer her a deal.
How do you get your elbows dirty?
I'm sorry, we should have…
We should have checked.
They broke the lock with a rock or a shovel and--
Xime…
I'm the one who's sorry.
I got you into this.
This armpit…
May I?
Yes, of course.
And the chest.
Your back.
Look. There's something like this.
Zazil giving the Tear of Fire as an offering.
To whom?
Why?
Look,
it could have been a payment
so she wouldn't be bothered on the island anymore, right?
The price to die in peace.
No, what payment? It was not a payment.
She returned it to the place where it belonged, to her people.
- Dad? - Yes, Son.
What?
What's wrong with you? No, shit. What's happening?
What?
Oh, fuck.
Dad.
- Do you know what you're saying? - Yes.
We're talking about the Tear of Fire, right?
Zazil took it from Cortés.
- Did you know about Zazil? - No, not exactly.
I suspected it, in a way, because…
Well, it's a fact that she stole it.
Hi.
- Hi. - You've always been so beautiful.
Look how pretty your girlfriend is.
What a nice couple you make! Come on, get married.
Oh, Juan.
So what did she do? What did she do with it?
Miguel, I told you, man. You just don't listen.
She and Gonzalo always wanted to return it
to the place Moctezuma stole it from.
- What place? - I have no idea. I don't know.
I'm not an expert on that subject.
Professor Ramírez.
- My colleague, remember? - Yes.
Talk to him.
Yes, he's an expert on these subjects.
Who is he? Do you know him?
I never met him, but I know who he is. They met a long…
a long time ago in some graves in the Sierra Tarahumara.
In Chihuahua.
Where does he live?
Dad?
Good to see you, Dad.
- I think it was a red lizard… - Come on.
Ramírez has to be in Chihuahua. The mummies were from there.
Okay, but Chihuahua isn't exactly small.
It's the largest state in the Mexican Republic.
- Great. - When were you planning on telling us?
You knew from the start that there was no gold.
No, not from the start.
But there is a diamond.
The biggest diamond anyone has ever seen.
You'd give it to Regina without getting our money back?
No.
Or yes.
But if I don't give her the diamond, she'll come after you too.
You used us, Lilí.
All you do is lie.
- Where did you get that? - He hides weapons everywhere.
- Octavio, what are you doing? - Calm down.
You knew too, didn't you?
That she was looking for a diamond?
Yes.
Look, I need to get Alex back.
So I'll give Regina the diamond.
Clearly, we can't trust you.
Inés…
did you make a deal with her?
She'll give us our money back.
Inés and I will get that diamond.
If any of you would like to join us, you're welcome to do so.
Except Lilí.
Lucas?
I don't know.
I'll stay with Miguel, although I love you all very much.
Excellent. Bandolis?
That's kind of a stupid question, don't you think?
It's especially for you, that's why.
Right.
Citlali?
I'm going with Inés. I need the money.
I really need that diamond.
I'm sorry, Lucas.
Miguel, you know I appreciate you.
- I appreciate you too. - Good.
You're making a mistake.
I've made enough mistakes trusting you, Lilí.
Good. From now on, we go our separate ways.
