The Girl in the Mirror (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

A NETFLIX SERIES
[Efrén] The five shadows of Therion
that attracted the curiosity
of those who made
a habit of practicing the dark arts.
[ominous music playing]
Wizards and necromancers
traveled the world far and wide
following their trail,
inevitably leading them to another place
that had been struck by tragedy.
On this particular occasion,
it was to a village where five youths
had recently kidnapped a newborn baby.
Where did they bring him?
To the lake.
- [baby crying]
- [water gurgling]
[Efrén] The shadows first had to
evacuate the soul of the newborn child
in order to offer
a new body as a host their master.
I will serve the master.
[man] It is a long journey
that has brought you here.
You have traveled
half the world in search of him.
But you are too late.
That's unjust.
- I'm entitled to my reward.
- Would you like to know your future?
[faint warbling]
A new power has arisen from within the
depths in order to restore the balance.
It will infiltrate the powerful
individuals approaching as we speak.
They're here to take the master
to grow up among them.
His kingdom will be magnificent.
But you will never see it.
Your mortality awaits.
No!
Let me go!
No!
Release me!
[eerie rasping]
[Efrén] Only when united
can the five shadows summon Therion
and bring about his return.
And so it was.
[baby crying]
[eerie choral music playing]
[man] Behold our lord.
Protect his life with your own
just as we have done.
[menacing music playing]
[Diana] He's really weak.
We need to stabilize him.
We need to hurry! Please, Bruno.
[Bruno] Don't worry, we're almost there.
NUBERU HOUSE
[Diana] Come on.
- Watch his head.
- Yup.
[Diana] Let's get him on the table, hurry!
[suspenseful music playing]
[Bruno] Okay.
- [Diana] Let's turn him around.
- [Bruno] All right.
[Diana] Get his hip.
In one, two, three.
- [groans]
- [Diana] Easy.
Álex, we need hot water.
First aid kit. Okay.
Hand me the scissors, please.
[tense music playing]
- Look, this is crazy.
- No one can know he's here.
- That won't matter if he dies here.
- We won't let that happen.
- [Álex] What the hell is that?
- Don't worry. Just apply pressure here.
Hard.
- Ahh!
- [Bruno] No.
- I'm out.
- Don't worry. Bruno, don't.
[phone dialing]
- [dial tone ringing]
- Don't! Please, just don't!
[man] Asturias Emergency Services.
Please, Bruno.
[man] Are you in danger?
[grunting and groaning] Do what she says.
[man] Hello?
- [Martín] Trust her.
- [man] Are you there?
- [coughs]
- [man] Hello?
[dramatic music playing]
[eerie rasping and warbling]
- [monitor beeping]
- [respirator pumping]
[woman] They tested him after the accident
and he was completely clean.
Now they've taken a hair sample.
He is the healthiest person I know.
He's never messed with drugs before.
That's what I told them already.
Well, they didn't care.
And now those lies about him
are spreading all over town.
I see it day after day.
None of this makes any sense.
If no one can explain why these
pills were found in his pocket, then
everyone will continue
to believe the same lies.
[doctor] When you put
your foot on the ground,
you'll feel a little prickling,
a lack of sensitivity.
Don't worry, it'll go away.
All right. Let's see
- It hurts, you're right.
- [Pilar] Be careful.
It'll hurt less with every step.
What are you
planning to do with your new leg?
- Well, I have a few ideas.
- [doctor chuckles]
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
MURDERER
[ominous music playing]
[sinister music playing]
Come on.
[car approaching]
[Román] Well, now we're talking!
[floorboard creaks]
[wistful music playing]
Lara.
[wistful music continues]
You two loved playing with that telephone.
I think I have a video of it.
Should I go find it?
Yeah.
- [water dripping]
- [ominous warbling]
[indistinct growling]
[growling intensifies]
It's okay.
You are safe now.
It's all over.
Diana and I got you out of that cave.
How long have I been out?
[Bruno] Days.
- Where are we?
- In my house.
I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
[hopeful music playing]
You're up.
[Martín] Diana.
It's so good to see you.
[Diana] You're dehydrated.
Drink some saline solution.
That's my grandpa, Efrén.
Who are you?
I don't recognize you.
He isn't well.
Grandpa, what's all this?
They haven't succeeded.
- Not yet.
- [Álex] We better go, Grandpa.
Martín needs to rest now.
Does your father know you're here?
My father?
Your idiot of a brother
gave me a good bashing, you know.
Because we kissed at the ball.
[laughs nervously]
Was it worth the price,
you getting a few punches for a kiss?
It didn't even hurt.
I knew the sort of trouble I'd be in
by falling for a Monteagudo.
How does he know my name?
Bárbara,
don't be angry.
You're here now, I'm glad.
[grunts] Bárbara was
my grandfather's sister.
Bárbara Monteagudo.
Did you know her?
It was young love.
And she looked like you.
But it didn't last long.
Neither her brother
nor her father supported our relationship.
And she was scared of them both.
She wanted to get away from them,
but it wasn't that easy.
Things were different.
I hope your grandmother will forgive me,
but I would have married her.
I missed my chance.
- She died young.
- Much too young.
- Did she kill herself?
- No.
She was too uplifted for that to happen.
You would never
have taken your own life, dear.
[mysterious music playing]
[Román on video] I don't want to be
pickin' up bones now.
- [Pilar] Look, Ali.
- [young Alma] Mom, can I go?
[Pilar] No, not yet. Wait for your sister.
- [Román] Now.
- [Pilar] Wait for it.
- [young Alma] Mom, look!
- [Pilar laughs]
- Where's Lara?
- She's this one. This is Lara.
[young Alma] Better get this one, okay?
[Pilar] One, two, three, go!
- Go!
- [laughing]
- [young Alma] Ahh! Hey!
- [Pilar] What did she say, huh?
- I can't tell you.
- [Pilar] Yes, you can. You can tell me.
- [young Alma] She didn't say anything.
- [Pilar] She didn't say anything?
Why don't you tell her a secret?
It's Lara.
She's trying to communicate. I mean now.
It's her spirit.
[Pilar] I think
that what you're seeing
is a lost memory from before
and your mind
is trying to make sense of it.
That's all it is, my love.
- It would help if you believed me.
- I do.
I know it feels real.
But that doesn't mean that it is.
Can I show you another video?
[both singing on video]
You both knew that movie by heart.
- It's in there.
- [Pilar on video] Who?
The ghost is in there.
[Pilar] Let me watch the movie.
[Lara] Mom, don't you see it?
- [Pilar] Who?
- [Lara] The ghost.
[Pilar] What does the ghost like, Lara?
Like this.
[eerie music playing]
- [young Alma] Don't do that, it scares me!
- [Lara] You're such a scaredy-cat.
Tell me what your name is.
Why? Just tell me what it is.
- [static]
- [laughing]
[Pilar] Some children
have invisible friends.
Lara had a ghost, Alma.
- [Lara] Will you tell me
- [Pilar] She loved torturing you with it.
[Pilar on video] Okay, girls.
That's enough now.
[somber music playing]
[Alma] She seems really happy.
[Pilar] She always was.
At least until
How was it when she passed?
I know it's hard, but I need to know.
One minute she was fine
until
She was in a lot of pain, frankly.
[girls laughing]
[Pilar] She was so scared.
She asked me
to help her stop the suffering.
But I couldn't do it.
Did she leave something unfinished?
What if she really needs help
finishing something?
Yes.
She left something unfinished,
but it wasn't with you.
It's with me.
She didn't say goodbye to me.
What are you saying?
I didn't leave her side
the whole time she was sick.
Just that one day.
For a few hours.
When I finally got back home,
she was gone.
[Alma] Did she die alone?
[indistinct chatter on video]
I just wanted Lara
to have me there when she passed.
[Pilar crying]
[somber music continues]
[doorbell rings]
[door opens]
[man] Tomás?
You have a visitor.
- Well, what do you think?
- It's a fucking miracle.
[door closes]
Get over here.
[faint warbling]
I don't know who you are.
- [thud]
- [screaming]
- [Tom] Hang on, it hurts.
- Does it?
[Tom laughs] Yeah.
- How is it?
- Fine, it's
- It's strange.
- Yeah?
It was hard,
what happened to us.
My parents gave up
and turned off my life support.
That's because the doctors told them
there was nothing that could be done.
They were going to let me die.
I could feel myself leaving
and all I could think about was not being
able to say goodbye to the people I love.
And
I think I actually
Well,
for a second I was in here with you.
Uh, it was like a dream.
There was something
important I had to tell you.
And what was that?
That you need to be together,
you and Alma.
It's important, Tom.
And how is she?
Uh, fine.
Well, she's forgotten
the accident and everything else.
Wait, she doesn't know about you guys yet?
So why don't you tell her you love her?
Look, if we're gonna get back together,
I need to make sure that this Alma
feels the same way as the one I knew.
[clicks tongue] Well,
I mean she's awake at least, right?
Laura's still in a coma.
I didn't know Laura
was so important to you.
[ominous warbling]
Yeah, 'cause the night
before the accident,
- Laura and I went
- Do you remember the accident?
Did you see it coming down the mountain?
Did you see it?
What
um
did it look like to you?
Shadows.
Roque, they found pills
in the pockets of Carlos' coat,
and they're blaming him for it.
For the accident and for giving us drugs.
- [Carlos] Hey!
- [Roque] Shit, kill the light, man.
Look at your eyes. Hand it over, Roque.
Last year wasn't enough for you? Come on.
You'll never learn, will you?
[Tom] I didn't want
to tell your parents and
I'm gonna tell the police, Tom.
I'll tell them the drugs were mine.
I know that's difficult to do
after everything you've been through.
No.
No, I mean, what are they gonna do to me?
I was just in a fucking coma.
[Álex] Tell us what happened.
How did you end up in that cave?
All I remember from the accident
was the yelling
and this feeling of falling.
I closed my eyes.
I just wanted it to be done,
for it all to end.
I don't know how long it was
until I opened my eyes.
I couldn't see because of the mist.
Then I heard it.
The buzzing.
And then with it were the shadows.
Shadows?
Creatures.
A darkness.
They were searching through the bodies
and clinging to the people
who seemed to still be alive.
I panicked and I started running.
And then I fell through a crevasse.
[water dripping]
[Martín] The next thing I remember,
I was waking up in a cave.
The floors and the walls
were all tinted red.
And there was some kind of altar.
Made from these animal bones
and human skeletons.
There was something in there with me.
- [eerie buzzing]
- It was alive.
I could feel it.
Just patiently waiting for me.
[indistinct growling]
I don't know how long I was in there,
I only know I was getting weaker.
Until one day it
it made its move.
- [creature growling]
- [screaming]
The pain was unbelievable.
Almost like it was attaching to my spine.
It was stealing my life from me.
I swear I was so scared that I thought
dying would be better than being
trapped down there with that thing.
I panicked and
I managed to drag myself
through a passage.
At the end there was
just an abyss of darkness.
So I let myself go
and fell into the water.
[splash]
The current carried me
until I got to a rock
and could get myself out of the river.
I was screaming
at the top of my lungs
hoping someone would hear me.
But it just made it
easier for that thing to find me.
And then I sank.
I thought I had died and was in hell.
Until I saw your light.
The shadows seemed to hear the sound
of your footsteps and disappeared.
- The rest you already know.
- [Efrén] Listen, do you hear that?
It's circling the house.
Keep your guard up, all of you.
It won't give up.
[eerie music playing]
It's like thunder and lightning.
But in reverse.
First you hear them
and then you see them.
I HATE ALI
[somber music playing]
LARA'S DYING - IT'S NOT FAIR
COWARDLY ALI - I DON'T FORGIVE YOU
TOM'S A SWEETHEAR
[phone chiming]
BERTA
NEW MESSAGE
NEARLY THERE. READY?
WERE YOU WITH ROQUE?
DIDN'T HE SEEM ODD? I'M WORRIED.
[man] Tomás.
- [Tomás] What is it?
- We got a call from the US.
And? What did they say?
It was difficult to understand
because the connection was spotty.
Oh. Don't worry, I'll send them a message.
But then I finally got through to 'em.
They said they'd be reaching out.
I guess that it's about your scores.
Tomás, they still
don't know about your accident.
What's your plan?
- Show up and just casually mention it?
- The scholarship is mine.
That scholarship is for someone
with the marks of an Olympian.
But above that,
it belongs to someone who is honest.
They can't take it 'cause I'm disabled.
[man] They'll take it away
because you're a liar.
Tomás, you need to accept
that your life won't be the same anymore.
Leave me alone.
It's only the first day, Tom. Be patient.
[chair whirring]
Damn it, come on.
Tomás Asiego?
My name is Celia Muñárriz. I'm a lawyer.
Your father told me
that I could find you here.
I'm sorry, you can go back to your office.
I'm not interested
in ruining anyone's life.
And yet your life has been totally ruined.
But you know what?
With the right compensation,
you wouldn't need a scholarship
to study in the US.
Will you go, please?
I just really
want to uncover the truth here.
I know the truth.
- I was there.
- [Celia] Come on, Tom.
I'm aware you liked Carlos,
but even he made mistakes.
The pills were my brother's.
He already told me he'll testify
as soon as we can speak with our lawyer.
He'll take full responsibility.
Responsibility?
Was it your brother driving that day?
If there's no liability,
there's no compensation.
Do you want to miss out
on all the plans you had?
Do you want the parents of your classmates
who weren't as lucky as you
to be left with nothing?
- Is that justice to you?
- Just fucking back off.
Think it over.
[speaking in tongues]
[Bruno] Did you have another nightmare?
Do you feel strong enough to stand?
I have something to show you.
[mysterious music playing]
- [Martín] What is it?
- Shh.
[whispers] The moon is about to rise.
Watch closely.
Wow.
I've never seen anything like it.
[faint rumbling]
[eerie humming]
[Martín] Do you see that?
[eerie buzzing]
What the hell is it?
[indistinct rasping]
[rapid fluttering]
Where'd they go?
[rustling]
[twigs snapping]
[footsteps]
- [twigs snapping]
- [eerie buzzing]
[indistinct growling]
[roaring]
- [Bruno] Run!
- [Martín] Hurry!
[thudding]
- [glass creaking]
- [creature growling]
[speaking in tongues]
Bruno, what happened?
There's two of those things outside.
- They're just like the one from the cave.
- What?
Shh.
[footsteps thudding]
[eerie groaning]
[wood clattering]
[floorboards creaking]
[eerie groaning]
[door creaking open]
[eerie rasping]
[speaking in tongues]
[indistinct growling]
[loud banging]
[footsteps approaching]
[indistinct chittering]
[screeching]
[menacing music playing]
[Diana] No! No, Martín! Martín!
[Martín] Ahh!
[Diana] No!
[speaking in tongues]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Diana] No!
[Martín] No!
[Diana] No! Hold on, Martín!
- No!
- [Martín] No! Ahh!
[Diana] No! Don't let go of him!
[Martín] Don't let go of me!
- Don't let go!
- [Diana] No!
[grunts]
[Diana] No! Martín!
Hurry! Turn on the lights!
[groans]
It's okay! No, it's me!
Look at me! Martín, look at me!
- [creature growling]
- [objects clattering]
[indistinct thudding]
[floorboards creak]
- [Álex] Grandpa.
- Come on!
Grandpa!
Grandpa.
He's not breathing.
Grandpa!
[Bruno laughing]
[discordant music playing]
[phone chiming]
WHERE ARE YOU? SHALL I COME FIND YOU?
HAVE A GOOD LOOK.
[Alma] When did this happen?
Well, I got it today.
Why didn't you say anything?
I'm practicing with this every day
before I get the real one.
[Alma] Are you eager to get out of here?
How do you know I'm going?
My mom told me you got
a scholarship to go study in the US.
Yeah, I got a scholarship
for my swimming scores, but
now who knows what'll happen?
But you want to go, right?
- I don't know what I want anymore.
- [wistful music playing]
Where'd you get Deva's jacket from?
My mom took me to Lucía's and she told me
to keep anything that I wanted.
I also found a box.
The one with secrets? She got it from you.
I HATE ALI
All right, look,
Deva was very temperamental.
She went from love to hate
with everyone she knew.
And I don't even know
if you should read those.
It was like her diary.
Ali, without context,
those won't reveal anything.
She'd write things when she was upset
and then forget them.
She wrote other mean things about me.
She seemed to really love Lara though.
And you.
TOM'S A SWEETHEAR
Did you date her?
Did I date her? No.
You're lying. She was beautiful
and I think she loved you.
Look, Deva was in love with a guy
and then over him in seconds.
- She was lost.
- Well, then we have that in common.
So she dumped you.
You promised
we'd leave the past behind us.
And you promised
you wouldn't hide anything.
Deva couldn't
make up her mind on anything.
It was always something else.
She was the center of attention.
- She and Nico even hooked up once.
- Who's Nico?
This chick who lives
in an RV on the beach.
Always making trouble, so Deva loved her.
I think Deva wrote about her.
Ali, I'm serious, it's not right.
- What made you look in that box?
- I was trying to find some answers.
[Roque] Tom!
- [Tom] What are you doing here?
- [Berta] Just here with my parents.
And you? How's your leg healing?
Well, it's
Hey, Ali.
[indistinct warbling]
[Irene echoing] Do you know who you are?
[Berta] Roque! Sorry, Ali. Come on.
Are you afraid?
Ali can't remember anything.
Why are you wearing a patch?
I have double-vision.
Diplopia 'cause of the accident.
- May I see?
- No.
Look, Ali's experiencing
something really complicated right now
Yeah, of course. You guys were
just hangin' out and we interrupted you.
Sorry, Tom. Didn't mean to intrude.
[Tom laughs]
It's okay.
See ya.
- Thanks, Tom.
- For what?
For talking to me.
And for getting me out.
I'll see you tomorrow.
DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
[ominous music playing faintly]
Five, one, one.
Four, seven, seven.
Nine, two, nine.

[mysterious music playing]
[intriguing music playing]
[Alma] It's you.
I've seen you before, right?
At the hospital.
Are you Nico?
Did I know you before the accident?
Yeah.
I had a thing with Deva.
Fine, I won't move, okay?
But for each question that you ask me,
you take a step in.
The first one is free.
Yes, all you're seeing is real.
It's not in your head.
How would you know that?
Take a step when you ask.
I need to know what that thing wants.
To kill you.
And how do I keep it away from me?
The past is the source of your problems.
Are you serious? I don't know who I was.
Then you just wait.
That thing has a secret for me.
What is it?
Just listen up.
How, though?
Well, ask it what it wants from you.
Come on. Ask me something else.
You're almost there.
What happened to your eye?
The same thing as you.
I'll be waiting here.
But trust me,
when you get your memory back,
your problems won't go away.
And then you'll need me again.
[eerie rasping]
[Nico] Won't you ever give up?
