Selenkay (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

1
-
How was the first day at school?
PREVIOUSLY
-Welcome, Sofía. You're not
the only new comer. There is also Gael.
I like talking to you.
You're a good listener.
There's not many people like that.
Come to my house
and let's bury the hatchet.
We should also tell Gael.
I saw the way you looked at him.
- Don't you feel weird sometimes?
- All the time.
If Lupo can take me to the shore,
that'd be enough.
HYDROKINESIS
-Suddenly, all became clear.
What I didn't understand until recently,
blew up in my face.
- What is it with me and water?
It could have just been a dream.
Listen to me.
Of course it was just a dream.
Sometimes, our visions
don't mean anything.
If I don't ignore it,
it doesn't exist.
NATIONAL SCHOOL OF RÍO VIVO
Can we finish
this somewhere else?
Don't move. I'm almost done.
Saw Lupo?
- What?
- Did he talk about our hike?
- My brother doesn't say a lot.
- So, he didn't mention we were followed?
Is everything all right?
What's going on?
You look like a cat
who's scared of a shadow.
Yeah. I thought I saw something.
I'll walk you home.
Wait. Tell me, what's going on?
- Nothing.
- You can tell me.
DRAMATIC MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
We were walking for quite a while.
You sure he didn't say anything?
Is it done?
I really felt a connection.
It was quiet, but it was still nice.
You can tell me anything
because I think pretty soon,
we're going to be family.
Wait.
Um, what if would happened
that the well also broke the pipes?
You know that well probably runs deep.
It could have affected
the whole water supply.
No. What happened with you
is related to what happened with Emilia.
But you can relax.
Everything has a scientific explanation.
- Yeah?
- There are forces below the Earth.
They have the power
to move tectonic plates.
It's completely normal
in a mountain range.
These sorts of things
happen in this town.
You'll have to get used to it.
You like it?
The house is in the middle of the lake,
surrounded by water.
I won't be able to reach it.
Are you becoming obsessed with that girl?
Maybe you have feelings for her.
- What do you mean?
- Simple chemistry.
Does your heart beat stronger
when you're near her?
Are you being serious, Micael?
Relax.
She has feelings for you.
I've seen how she looks at you.
You could use it to your advantage.
- That's not what's important.
- Oh.
I'm following the clues.
You should do the same thing.
All right, thanks. I'll wait for you.
Over and out.
Who are you waiting for?
Aren't you suppose to be giving
a tour to the geologist society?
-Yes.
- Well
Socializing really isn't my thing.
I forgot the radio.
- Oh.
- I don't Ah! Here it is.
Are you going to answer my question?
- What question?
- Said you were waiting?
- Waiting for the report.
-What report?
The report that the park ranger made
before leaving the post,
- about the condition of the park.
- And that's making you act nervous?
What, nervous?
No, not me. I'm totally cool.
I believe you.
But if I didn't know you better,
I'd think you were hiding something.
No.
All right.
See you.
Enjoying the fresh air out here?
I'm studying for the exam.
Everything okay?
Yeah, but I'd prefer not to create
double trouble for either of us.
- What's that mean?
- Your brother doesn't like me.
- He's made that clear.
- It's really not like that, Gael.
It's just, my family
is overprotective of me That's it.
And you?
How are you liking the new town?
Good, really like it.
Almost like I've always lived here.
Really feels like home.
How about you?
I've had a hard time
adjusting to the weather.
But, uh, I like it here.
So that explains the hood.
Ah.
I always forget.
Okay, then.
It's time for me to go to class.
Yeah, right.
Come on. I have to maintain the mystique.
Okay.
I'll see you.
You know what?
I think that's the first time
I've seen you laugh.
Next, we'll mix the two substances
and we'll note the reaction that occurs.
Then we'll compare.
No gloves, Flox.
That could be dangerous.
I can't.
I have delicate hands.
Just take them off, please.
We don't want an accident.
Thanks, got it.
You all right?
It wasn't your fault.
Excuse me?
I think you're talking
to the wrong person.
It was the experiment.
The chemicals
some people are sensitive.
They can't tolerate certain elements.
Like your little classmate.
- Yeah, maybe.
- Florencia, right?
Flox.
Before you go, can I have
your number or social media handle?
Mm, not interested.
Relax,
it's so I could send you an invite
to the opening of our bar.
Don't bother.
Places like that were specifically
designed for teenagers to have fun.
Well, they bore me.
- It's a nice place to make new friends.
- Who would want that?
All right. I get your act.
A little over the top.
Hmm, sorry to tell you, it's not an act.
Here's my Instagram.
Might change my mind,
but don't count on it.
What a pretty little plant.
It's not just a plant.
It's a redcurrant.
It catches its prey
and kills it in seconds.
Later.
Where's your friend?
She abandon you?
Thank you for you concern.
So considerate of you.
- It's nothing.
- Hmm.
I've seen a lot,
but this place is really mind-blowing.
You and your family must know
all the secret spots.
There are places
with interesting legends.
- Selenkay Lake is gorgeous.
-It is known for its private bays.
Is it true, what they say about the water?
That it has special properties?
Some say that the Gods
used to gather here,
that it's sacred water.
-My hearing aid!
- I got it!
Sofía!
- Sofía!
- What's she doing?
No!
There she is.
What were you two thinking?
The water in this lake is freezing.
How could you not know that?
Were you thinking at all?
It was very dangerous what you did.
You could've died from hypothermia!
Never do something like that again.
I'll get you something warm. Stay here.
You saved me.
I can't hear much without this thing.
I didn't know. I didn't realize.
No one notices. Except for me.
Now that you know my biggest secret,
It's customary for you
to tell me yours as well.
I'm just joking.
Río Vivo humor.
Thanks for your bravery.
Have we met?
No. Don't think so.
Should we have?
Are you here on vacation?
Not exactly.
Just passing through?
Thinking about staying for some time.
- You must be Micael and Gael's brother?
- Rafael Fénix.
Welcome, then.
- Is that the custom here?
-No.
It's what I do.
Let me know
if you guys ever need anything.
It's easy to contact me.
Everyone here knows me here.
Thank you.
See you.
-She did what?
-I don't know any of the details.
Well, is she all right?
Where is she now?
-They sent her home. I don't know.
-Alone?
You don't look
too happy around your family.
The story of my life.
Life in national parks is very solitary.
I had no friends, other than my family.
In my family,
we're used to being alone.
You don't even have
one friend that you left behind?
- I find that hard to believe.
-No, it's true.
Today, you seem friendlier.
I guess it's a bit hard for me
as well, being new.
Getting to know people,
learning who to trust.
- I get it.
- And I understand you,
why you make that face in family photos.
It's just, they're always around.
They feel like my shadow.
Well, maybe, they just do that
because they love you.
It's still suffocating.
What's your family like?
My family is just my brothers, and
I prefer not to talk about them.
To maintain your mysterious vibe?
I guess.
Want to cross?
I can ask my brother to pick us up.
No problem.
Uh, maybe another day.
Great. Thank you, Lupo,
for being my friend repellent.
Yeah, later.
Right now, I imagine you're exhausted
because of what you went through.
I don't understand
how you survived that freezing water.
It wasn't as cold as you probably think.
I feel terrible
lying to a person I like.
But how can I explain
what I don't understand?
Whoa, that's
that's nice.
- Thanks.
- May I?
Sofía.
- I didn't know you had company.
- I didn't know it was your business.
I was leaving anyway.
Don't wanna be out too late.
Besides, I heard
there are dangerous animals in this area.
I'll see you.
Why isn't it working?
Forget it. We decided
not to use those old things.
Yeah, but I restored it.
- It should be working.
- No, we don't have time for that.
We're about to open.
Speaking of opening,
our flyer is all over Río Vivo.
We invited everyone.
Even the park ranger's kids.
I spoke to the young one. Flox.
Something's up with her hands.
She wears gloves all the time.
We are not looking for girls
who dress weird.
-Could be a sign of something.
- Well, figure it out.
Don't bring me every dead lead.
Hey, Rafael, why don't you just relax?
Micael did nothing wrong.
We're all gathering information according
to the plan we agreed to. Nothing more.
Or is there another plan
we don't know about?
The plan is not to get distracted.
What about you? Have you heard
any rumors or see anything suspicious?
No, not yet. And people like talking here.
We've made all this contact,
yet have nothing to show?
That's why we're throwing the party, right?
Let's think about what we're gonna say.
- You're not eating.
- I'm not hungry.
Can you maybe show some manners?
- Don't start.
- You started it.
When you told him
I was with Gael after school.
So? Was that a secret?
- What's your problem?
- Nothing. So, why am I being hounded?
What's so weird
about walking home with a friend?
- So, he's a friend? Got it.
- He's my friend.
If you don't like him,
that's your problem.
Stop it, everyone.
Can't we enjoy some family time together
- without arguing?
- Yeah, but first you distrust Diana,
and now Gael too?
You're not the only one
with problems here.
- What are yours?
- Uh
- No, tell me! 'Cause I wanna know.
- You wouldn't like hearing it.
Girls, that's enough. Stop it.
- Everyone, cut it out!
- What did I do?
Why do I always get scolded?
- Look, Lupo is sitting right here.
- Your mother asked you to stop. So there
And why should I hire you?
I learn fast and I have a good memory.
This will be the only bar in town,
so I figured you're gonna need some help.
Why are you so eager
to enter the workforce?
I'm 17,
it'd be nice to make a little cash.
Is there anything that you're good at?
I can do a little of everything,
and I sure learn very quickly.
Hmm. Good.
You prefer dealing with customers
or being in the kitchen?
- Come again?
- You like waiting tables or
Anything.
Tell me about your family.
A team.
My family and I are like
Does it seem hot in here?
On the contrary. Who are you protecting?
Your mother, is it?
- Iris?
-Is that her name? Yeah, her.
Or your sisters?
Or maybe your dad? Or yourself?
- What do you want?
- Sorry.
The light bulbs arrived.
Where do you want them?
Be right there. Thank you.
Sorry, you were saying?
- We'll have you wait tables.
- Ah! Nice.
Let me guess what he told you.
Was it something like,
"Never trust Eduardo Frank."
- Yeah, yeah. Something like that.
- Hmm.
He says that to everyone.
- It's getting old.
- Mm.
Lucio Ortiz is what I consider, uh,
the loyal opposition.
Why is that?
Well, the previous mayor,
- also from my party
-Mm-hmm.
prohibited the cutting of trees
in the area.
His family, among other activities,
operated the town's sawmill
and so, well
- Mm. He was left with a grudge.
- Don't believe everything he tells you.
He's a little I don't wanna say.
You can ask anyone in town.
But we've talked enough about Lucio.
Tell me, what do you think of this place?
- Lovely.
-Hmm.
Lovely landscape, lovely people.
Of course, we're still getting settled in.
-Mm-hmm.
- But we do feel really comfortable here.
Río Vivo has its magic.
I've had other opportunities,
believe it or not.
I could have made my political career
in the capital, but I just couldn't leave.
Mm. One more question about Lucio
There's never been anything
I don't like about this place.
They say that the wind from the south
has an effect on some people.
Apparently, they go crazy.
They become disoriented, go mental.
But for me, it's the opposite.
Keeps my head straight.
- Well, I'm relieved to hear that from you.
-Mm-hmm.
But one more thing about Mr. Lucio,
why is he okay renting his place out
to those boys who just showed up?
Well, they seem to have money
to invest in the place.
They seem like hardworking kids.
- Easygoing. Very polite.
- Yeah, I heard the same.
-Mm-hmm.
- What I haven't heard is
where they came from. You know
Very tasty jam. Very good.
-Hello.
- Oh.
- Good afternoon.
- Afternoon.
Wow, Diana,
I've never seen such a cool room before.
Really?
Well, it's not like I've seen many.
- Thank you.
-But I want something for it.
I want you to tell me more
about your experience in the water.
After you jumped in.
What's to say? I got wet.
It's not a big deal.
It was freezing.
I took a thermometer and measured it.
That's what scientists do, analyze facts.
But there's not much to it.
It's like you saw. Tacu jumped in too.
Yeah, but Tacu came out freezing
and you didn't.
There must be an explanation for that.
Remember, I lived
for a long time in Antarctica?
Also, I've been to other parks
where I swam in freezing cold lakes.
That doesn't explain everything.
Really, Diana. I'm just used to the cold.
No. It's something else.
There must be a theory
that explains everything.
- That's why we conduct experiments.
- I'm not jumping again.
Relax. I have an idea.
- Are you expecting company?
- They're for the experiment.
Ta-da!
-What is this?
-The bar.
This model will help us
analyze what happened.
These are the water tanks.
I thought you already had a theory
to explain what happened.
Well, new questions have arisen.
Science always evolves.
Summon him.
Summon him.
Summon him.
Summon him.
I think what happened to you
at the lake and the bar are related.
Now, explain
exactly what happened at the bar.
- I don't remember.
-Really?
I don't wanna lie to her.
I feel like I'm lying to everyone.
This is me.
And this one is you.
Summon him.
-Not again.
-Are you all right?
I need to stop what I'm feeling,
- but I I'm not in control.
-Sofía?
