Selenkay (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
I'm gonna use my power at the party.
PREVIOUSLY
-On all of them?
If we find someone who isn't affected,
it means we've found Aurora.
-No, Sofía. You won't go!
- I was excited about this party.
- Decision is final.
- Will you listen to them?
Welcome to Fénix!
Río Vivo needed fire!
-Come on. Do you dance?
- What are you doing?
They snuck out.
I wonder if the things that happen to me
happen to others.
I think some of us
are in the same boat.
It looks like
we have a new singer.
Sofía!
Sometimes,
the world becomes threatening.
We hide so we don't have to face
what we don't understand.
We're terrified of what we can't control.
For the worlds to become clear,
maybe we sometimes need
to change the way we look at it.
And just wake up.
What's wrong?
Why'd you run out like that?
Something is wrong with me, Tacu.
Just relax. Catch your breath.
Now, what's wrong?
I don't know. Not sure.
Maybe I can help. Try to explain.
Let's start with "Why me?
Why is this happening to me?"
Listen.
My aunt taught me not to be afraid
of the things we can't explain.
I do wish
I could tell you the truth.
I wish you could understand.
What?
Nothing. Um, what were you saying?
We can't deny the things
we don't understand.
They exist, and no matter how strange,
we've got to accept it.
Your aunt sounds optimistic.
She draws her wisdom from being
a direct descendant of the natives here.
- You admire her.
- So much.
Some travel the world to talk to her.
She says nature holds the answers
that we seek right here
all around us.
- And?
- No, nothing.
- That's enough. Let's call the police.
- Really? And say what?
Go pick up our children
from the local pub?
Don't worry.
I'm sure they're still with Lupo.
- Did she answer?
- I left her a message.
I'm sure they're playing loud music.
You're always so calm.
Clearly, we can't handle this alone,
and this was the proof.
We have to contact her.
- That's why we came back.
- But we had agreed to wait. True?
We did wait.
Come on.
We can wait a little longer than this.
Let's enjoy some time with our family.
You think this is easy for me?
- Pedro, Sofía's safety must come first!
- And that's why we're protecting her.
How? Tell me. There's countless things
we don't know anything about.
We need her help now. Pedro!
- Everyone has left.
- Feel better?
A little. It felt like my whole body
was going to be extinguished.
Everyone thought
the sprinklers were staged.
Part of the party.
Did they go out because of what you did?
No, I barely got started
turning up the heat
when the sprinkler started going off.
- You shouldn't have pulled that.
-What?
You could've injured everyone!
I thought we were here to find Aurora,
what are you guys doing to help?
It doesn't justify it!
It's irresponsible, what you did.
Instead of complaining,
you should thank me.
That girl, Flox, almost found you out.
-You learn anything?
- No. Except that she's not the one.
And neither is her brother.
But they know something.
That family is weird.
Let's check out the parents.
And the other one,
Sofía.
- I'll do it.
-Sure, but don't drag your feet.
You were there to hear it.
He's nearly out of patience.
We can't go around testing our power
on every single person in town.
We have to exhaust every possibility.
We should find some more leads.
Emilia.
Um. I need to tell you something.
Ever since we got here, I feel like
there's something weird going on
with the water.
Something really weird.
Remember when we first got here?
I fell and I didn't have any wounds,
and we all thought it was weird.
Well, I thought about telling everyone
right away, but then I thought
"No, they'll never believe this."
Do you remember the day
I went to town with Diana?
We went to where that lake was found.
There was a tree.
And all of a sudden, there was a fire.
I closed my eyes
and started feeling crazy nervous.
And suddenly, poof!
It was like it was raining inside.
And then later at home,
I said, "I want the waterdrops to stop."
And one stopped in mid-air.
At the lake, I jumped in freezing water.
and I was with my friend, Diana,
by the well, and I got real anxious.
Suddenly, water shot out
and got Emilia all wet.
And I'm sure it had to be me.
I got excited at the party
and all of a sudden,
the sprinklers just exploded.
Well?
Say something, please.
We should tell Mom and Dad.
So I'm telling you
I think I have a power over water,
and you say talk to Mom and Dad?
- We have to tell them.
- I agree, but give me a minute to think.
Fifteen years.
After all this time,
we finally know how she's special.
We don't know anything.
That's why we need Iris and Pedro, right?
Let's go.
Sofía, wait up!
- I don't want to talk to Mom and Dad.
- All right. Relax. Okay?
What do you think?
Well
maybe it's normal.
The sprinkler could've been broken, right?
- You don't believe me then.
- No, I didn't say that.
- You have something to tell me?
- You already know what I think.
Why do you have to tell everything
to Mom and Dad?
Because
Because they're the only ones
who can really help you, Sofía.
I don't know if this thing is real.
If it's a gift or a power, or
I don't know what to think about it.
But it is real! It's real. It really is.
I know that this sounds insane
and none of it makes much sense
to me either, believe me.
But it's like water responds to me.
- It listens to me.
- So, then? We have to tell them.
No. We can't tell them
'cause if we tell them,
they'll be more overprotective
than they already are,
and they'll never leave me alone.
We can't tell them until I know more
about what's going on with me.
Okay, so then, you want answers,
but not if your parents have them.
Is that right?
Why are you never on my side?
I promise you I am going to tell them.
I am going to tell them.
I'm just asking for time.
No! You know we're not supposed
to hide things from them.
A few days. That's all I'm asking, please.
- One day.
- Accepted!
Like when we were little
Siblings' pact, just 24 hours.
- Siblings' pact.
- Twenty-four hours. Hmm?
Thank you.
Tell me what you were thinking.
Just running off
in the middle of the night?
Mm-hmm.
And defying the grounding
that we had imposed on you!
Acting like you're fugitives
from the law, huh?
Breaking out of jail.
You are escape artists, right?
Huh?
I'll take the blame.
No, Flox is not responsible
for any of this.
I knew I wasn't allowed
to go to the party.
But I wasn't willing to miss it.
-Ah. So you can just defy us now?
- You never listen.
- They never really listen.
-Lupo was there.
Everything is fine
and nothing happened. So what?
That's right. We can take care
of ourselves so we don't always need Lupo.
Whom, I believe, seems to have
a lot more freedom than us.
- No offence.
- No worries.
No, it's not like that.
We don't play favorites between you.
Then, I could also get a waitressing job?
Well, sure, if you were older. Hmm?
But let's not change the subject.
Let's get back to how how you
Whatever happens,
I'm always going to be wrong.
No. It's not like that.
You guys have no idea
how important it was
for me to go to the party.
To feel like I fit somewhere.
Did you have fun at least?
I guess if I'm being honest,
the party confirmed the opposite.
I actually don't fit in.
- Yeah.
- You sure?
Yeah. It was fun. Nice party.
Good.
Why don't we get some rest now? Hmm?
I feel good that we could at least
have this talk. Hmm?
Good night.
And no more going out!
For at least two weeks!
Lupo.
Sure everything's all right?
Yeah.
HYDROKINESIS
You came.
Yes, what can I do for you?
Just come with me.
You said you wanted to find out
what was going on with you,
I'm only here in the name of science.
Sorry I didn't accept your help earlier.
The incomprehensible
needn't stay that way,
because everything can be explained.
I promise we'll figure it out.
I needed to hear that.
Care to explain
what we're doing here on a Sunday?
We came here because, well,
I know you like recreating things.
So, I thought
maybe we'd find some clues here.
That's the well that drenched Emilia.
- I'll never forget.
- I think it was me.
It's not funny, Diana.
I could've hurt her.
Oh, she's just fine. Let's look.
Where was Emilia?
- Right here.
- And you?
- Um. Standing like, over over here.
- Stand over there.
Do you remember
what you were doing in that moment?
Were you looking at her or at the well?
I don't think
I was especially looking anywhere.
I just wanted Emilia to shut up for once.
I was getting really uncomfortable
because of what she said.
-Were you getting mad?
- Yeah, more like I was annoyed.
And then, I started to hear something,
like, a really weird noise.
What kind of noise?
Like water.
Yeah, yeah.
It was like water moving somewhere.
Gurgling like there was
a hose running or something.
I see.
Well, let's go to the bar,
see what we find there.
You mean Fénix?
Sure, that's the only one.
Or are you nervous about running
into a certain classmate?
Seen Tacu?
Tacu? Why? What about him?
I saw you two at the party.
Diana, I called you to investigate
my issue with water,
not my love life. That doesn't exist.
What happened?
Gael rejected me.
- Huh?
-At the party, yeah.
I don't get it.
Come on, let's go now.
I guess I have no choice.
So, what's up?
Lupo, what's wrong?
Hmm? Don't think I notice?
You're preoccupied, distracted,
your head's in the clouds.
Is there something you're not telling us?
Why are we lying to Sofía?
Why don't you tell her
why we're protecting her?
How long are we going to fool her
with this lie about a happy family?
It isn't a lie.
I know things can be confusing,
and our life has been trying,
but we're being the best family we can be.
I can't keep lying to her.
It'll be a lot easier if we came clean.
That right?
You sure nothing happened last night?
Something at Fénix, no?
No.
No, it's Diana.
I was with her and I neglected Sofía.
Diana.
You like her?
Yes. You could say that.
I kind of dismissed her.
I panicked about Sofía. I didn't know
where she was and I acted rash.
I understand.
Really?
Sofía's growing up.
It's harder to keep an eye on her.
And the rest of the world beckons.
Being around people in society
presents many new and bigger challenges.
We can't get distracted.
- From what?
- From Sofía!
Focus!
She's still our main responsibility.
And Diana then?
Well, if you were rude to her,
you should apologize.
Hmm? Be attentive,
show good manners, be respectful.
Just so we fit in
with polite society, and that's it.
I don't know how much longer
we'll be able to stay here.
Maybe less than we had imagined.
But let's be clear.
It's not a good idea getting too close
to people at this time.
When the event
at the well happened,
Emilia was making you feel self-conscious.
And the fire here
must have frightened you.
And when you were singing at the party,
you were very happy.
See the pattern?
No.
Hey, Sofía.
Uh. Hello.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I just have a cold. Nothing more.
Why does he look like
he just got ran over by a car?
Hey!
You guys want something to eat or drink?
Um. Two hot lattes,
if you please. Thank you.
See how he looks at you?
Last night at the party,
we almost kissed, and he turned away.
Really? Why am I just now hearing this?
Maybe if you weren't so preoccupied
with my brother
- We weren't talking.
- He must've been nervous.
Whatever. Uh. Back to
- Yeah, you're right. Moving on.
- Come on, Diana. What were you saying?
Concentrate.
Whenever these events happen,
you're overwhelmed by some emotion.
It almost seems like intense emotions
are influencing the behavior of the water.
And there's something inside you
that alerts you before it happens.
Like a sensation or a sound.
So, I shouldn't have emotions?
What if I flood the town?
Calm down.
There is no reason to get excited.
But for now,
you should avoid intense emotions.
At least until we figure out
how to control it.
Sofía. You all right?
Sofía!
Sorry, I forgot
she was lactose intolerant. Bye.
WATER
My apologies.
NATIONAL SCHOOL NO. 183S RÍO VIVO
I love this photo.
Rafael told me
that they're throwing another party soon.
What's up with him?
- He texted me last night.
- Really?
We'll tell them after school.
It's been longer than one day.
Did you find out anything?
I'm working on it. Diana is helping me.
Diana?
Oh, yeah. This? Yeah. It happened
when I went to the opening of Fénix.
So?
What did you think of our party?
Nothing.
I can't believe what I'm about to say.
I can't find a scientific explanation.
At least not yet.
But I've been reading about hydrokinesis.
My conclusion, your case is unique.
Very interesting, but that's all I know.
But Diana, I don't wanna be unique
or interesting. What should I do?
It's all right.
We're going to find out more,
I just need more time.
Time is what I don't have, Diana.
I begged my brother and sister to delay
telling my parents. Now time's up.
I need additional assistance.
Tacu.
- You ever been to his house?
- No, he lives in the hills. Why?
Well, he told me about his aunt.
Do you know about her?
I know what they say,
that she's clairvoyant,
and apparently,
she does some work as a goldsmith.
You're not thinking of visiting her?
Right.
Go ahead and visit the mountain lady,
and I'll stay here
and keep looking for actual answers
using the scientific process.
Which is much more conclusive.
Need anything from me today?
Morning.
Good morning for me, sure.
But for you, I notice you're doing
everything backwards.
Rough night, huh?
I suppose.
The body's here
and the head's somewhere else. Huh?
To be young and in love.
Sometimes I'm thankful I'm old.
- I'm just tired. That's all.
-No.
It's not just that you're tired.
I know the look. I was your age once.
Yeah, but when you were my age,
it was a different era.
Love's the same
today, yesterday, tomorrow.
So, what is it? The girl doesn't like you?
That's not the issue.
Her parents don't like you.
They don't want you around.
That's it. Huh?
Family's in the way.
So dramatic, a forbidden romance.
So, do you press on
in spite of everything
or give in to what other people want?
How do you recognize love?
What is love at my age?
When it happens to you, you'll know.
- May I? Can I help?
- Uh.
- Uh.
- Don't worry, I can fix it.
Roberto was my best friend.
That's all I have left of the little guy.
- Careful. Careful.
-There we go.
All good?
Mm.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
- See you later.
- Later.
Visualization and concentration
seem to be the key.
Other cases of kinesis indicate
a purposeful physical
or mental effort is required.
So then, why is it involuntarily
for Sofía, without her even making
Talking to yourself?
You scared me!
- We need to talk about the party.
-What do you mean?
Oh, when you ran off after Flox
and left me alone.
That is what I'm apologizing for.
No worries. All you did was ruin
our amazing night together.
I'm weird, Diana. I know.
It's not like I have much experience
when it comes to talking to girls.
That's not a problem.
- I'll teach you.
- I'd like that.
You know, you and I were, well,
good dancing together but for the rest
And what's the rest?
Being together.
You are weird.
Agree with you there.
No argument on that.
What I'm trying to tell you, Diana,
is that I like spending time with you,
talking to you, and watching
your fascination with science.
- But I
- Nothing else?
Don't worry.
Who said anything else?
But I I want to be friends.
Me too.
Cool, fist bump.
Sure you're not upset?
Not at all.
It's a real honor to be your friend.
Oh. That's cool. Good.
Since we agree we're friends,
say what you know about my sister.
- I heard you recording.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Diana
- I need to work.
Thank you, friend.
Diana.
A world of problems
and you're worried about a girl?
- I'm fine.
- Hmm. So you say.
We're telling them tonight.
We can't wait anymore.
It's just
I have a weird feeling lately.
What kinda feeling?
Like something happened at that party.
- You mean with Sofía, right?
- Something else.
It's it's like images.
Almost like something else happened,
but I can't quite remember it.
Really? Like, you remember dizziness?
And heat?
Hey, how do you know?
I experienced something similar
with Rafael Fénix.
Rafael!
Tell me. Who are you protecting?
Yeah. Now I remember
being in a room with him.
He was asking questions.
I can't remember how I answered.
It's like, maybe he erased my memory.
He did the same with me
in my job interview.
How would he do something like that?
- You don't think they're like
- About time.
- We need to get going.
- You two go ahead, Tacu invited me over.
You know you can't go out, Sofía.
You and Flox are grounded.
Not from everything.
This is a study session.
See you.
And you want to give her more time.
So a woman who left Río Vivo
and then came back, you say?
Yeah, have you heard of anyone like that?
No.
Why are you looking for her?
What?
So you're not gonna tell me?
Didn't mean to hit on a sensitive subject.
Just wanted to help.
You're right
that the subject is sort of delicate.
- If I tell you the truth, can I trust you?
- Of course. I won't say a thing.
It's a distant relative. Missing cousin.
We came to Río Vivo so we could find her.
Sorry I didn't tell you before.
It's just
complicated.
I get it.
It must be hard being in a new place,
adapting, making friends.
Especially here in Río Vivo
where people are closed off.
But I'm not like them.
-Yeah?
- Yeah.
I can help you.
But you have to trust me.
I think I can do that.
Aurora is her name.
No.
Never heard anything about her.
Did hear a bunch of stories
about a fire, not much else.
Who who talks about a fire?
You're scaring me.
- Think I've had enough of this.
- Eh. Uh. Sorry, it's just that
I've been looking
for my cousin for so long that I
I lose my head.
Hmm. It's all right.
You're gonna tell me what you know?
I don't know.
What do I get?
Tacu told me that you've always lived
in nature preserves, in national parks.
Yeah, uh,
my parents are park rangers.
You must have had a very interesting life.
Uh. Solitary is more like it
I think.
We're always far away
from everything and everyone.
Tacu, maybe you wouldn't mind
going to check the orchard?
- You good, Sofía?
- Yeah. All good.
Living in nature has a lot to offer.
Solitude, contemplation,
you can learn about yourself.
Thank you, Navera.
It's strange, but I feel comfortable here.
I'm not nervous like usual.
It feels like I know you.
Of course,
it's natural for us to, uh, distrust
those that we don't know.
However, most of the time,
of course, there's no real danger.
It's our own fears,
and our mistrust
that prevent us from approaching others.
I really think your house is lovely.
You can breathe. Relaxing.
So these photos,
some are park rangers too, huh?
Visitors from all around.
What about him?
He's a friend. Patrick.
Haven't seen him in a while.
He's an adventurer, globetrotter.
A good man.
It's
it's strange, this image.
It looks like there's the figure
of a woman standing right next to him.
- Or maybe it's just the glare.
- I think you're right. Must be the sun.
Tell me, Sofía
are you going to keep looking at photos,
or were you going to tell me
what brought you here?
We need to talk.
- Right now.
-What happened?
HYDROKINESIS
I still don't understand
how you survived that frozen lake.
It wasn't as cold as it seemed.
You can ask me anything, Sofía.
No, I don't think I can.
I shouldn't.
I don't think you're going
to have an answer for this one, Navera.
Still you came to me.
Sometimes,
the problem is not with the answers,
but the questions we ask.
Questions can open doors.
I want to scream
and at the same time, I can't speak.
I can't get the words out.
Tell me. Who are you protecting?
- Are you Aurora?
-No. I'm not her.
So it is a woman. What's her name?
Be careful. It runs away.
Like water, it runs.
Sofía. I didn't know you had company.
- I didn't know it was your business.
- Your brother doesn't like me.
It's just My family
is overprotective of me. That's it.
What is the question, Sofía?
How did you do that?
It wasn't me. It was you.
Tell me more about her.
She has questions.
She doesn't know. She has doubts.
Sometimes I feel alone.
Different than the others.
No.
No.
Relax.
Relax.
Take a deep breath.
Where do you hide her?
We have to protect her. Far away.
Difficult to reach.
Just breathe.
Relax.
Sofía!
It's her!
- Why is this happening to me?
- We all have a gift, Sofía.
