Santiago.
Santiago, I'm heading out.
I'm off to work.
You fell asleep here again.
- Want to go out for dinner tonight?
- Tonight?
No, I can't.
I'm still working on my photos
and then I'm on call.
I'm sorry.
Can't you take a quick break?
Why?
"Why?"
- Is everything okay?
- Everything's okay.
Pick you up at 8:00?
Okay.
But dinner's on you.
As usual.
Have a nice day.
You too.
Hey!
- Feed Zombie, would you?
- No. I'm running late.
- C'mon, Marce.
- No.
- Marce, please!
- No!
Shit.
I'm coming. I'm coming.
Hold on.
Thank you for considering us
to showcase your work.
Your photographs are striking,
but they aren't what we seek to promote.
Good luck in all your future endeavors.
Well, that's that, Zombie.
Back to work.
Son of a bitch.
Be a good boy, okay?
Watch over the house.
Alright, see you soon.
- Hi, Anita.
- Morning.
SQUEEZED MELONS
SHE WENT OUT FOR A BITE
BUT GOT COLD-PRESSED INSTEAD.
Santiago, as I've told you before,
nobody cares how the photos look,
as long as you can see they're dead.
I care. Why can't you just
print the photos the way I send them in?
Yes? On the footnote.
Yes, beneath the banner.
Okay, then.
Santiago, you have a good eye,
but we have priorities.
We're trying to keep the ship afloat,
and you come here with this bullshit.
Developing film
searching for the golden ratio.
Slowing everyone down.
Your photos are always on the front page.
What the fuck else do you want?
I got rejected by another gallery.
There's the rub.
Look, I'll make you an offer.
You just keep sending in your photos.
I mean, really fucking good photos.
And I'll personally arrange
your exhibition.
What do you think?
Get your ass back to work.
- Goodbye, Raquel.
- Bye, Santiago.
Here.
- Thank you.
- Have a good day.
- How was your day?
- You know how it is
It can get intense sometimes.
But it was good. How about yours?
- Sorry.
- Okay.
- Santiago?
- Yes.
I've got an exclusive for you
It's a Senator.
When?
We just got here,
but I need to call it in.
No. Send me the address. I'm on my way.
Fucking step on it, man.
You're leaving now? Like right now?
I'm sorry, honey.
Tomorrow, I'll take you wherever you want.
Santiago,
don't make promises you can't keep.
I'll take you home. It's on my way.
No, thanks. I can get there on my own.
As I always do.
Hey, this is work. Don't get mad.
- I'm not even mad.
- Yes, you are.
I'm pregnant.
- How far along?
- Eight weeks.
You already know what I think.
I do
and I wasn't planning on this either.
I don't know, I think
if we are being careful
and this still happened.
Then
- Don't you think it means something?
- Yes.
It means we weren't careful enough.
Don't you think?
Since when do you want kids?
Can we finish this at home?
I really need to go.
Do whatever you need to do.
Marce, wait! Hey!
I'll take you home! Marce!
Marce!
- What's up, Lupe?
- You're late. I told you to hurry.
Yes, but I'm here now.
The examiner is almost here.
Next time, be on time.
I'm gonna check on her.
Fucking Santiago.
How did you get in?
Good evening, Officer.
Hey, don't get too comfortable.
What the fuck happened here?
This is not just any dead body.
You're gonna get me in trouble.
I'll be quick Here.
Seriously?
Okay.
- The rats were eating him.
- I can see that.
When we got here, they were all over him.
- How long has he been dead?
- I don't know.
A few days, I guess.
Point the light there.
What about his employees
or his security team?
The housekeeper who found him
said he went mad
and fired everyone.
Holy shit.
What about the security cameras?
I don't know if you noticed,

The fuse box is busted.
Don't make any noise.

That's why you get beaten up.
- Comes with the territory.
- Let's go.
You already lit up a candle.
We keep some in the car
in case we need them.
How did you find her?
An anonymous call.
She was stabbed several times
and then dumped here.
Are you okay, Lupe? Here.
I'll be outside.
- How can you stand the stench?
- You fucking rookies.
I'm going to call it in.
Let me know when they get here.
Yeah!
Well, your vitals are normal.
Okay, look here.
- Any other symptoms?
- No.
- Nothing?
- Nothing.
Well
Earlier
I couldn't smell anything.
Let's see
Smell this.
Could it be related to my head injury?
It could be,
but you should see a specialist.
Seizures can be symptoms of many things.
Yeah, but that wasn't a

WEDNESDAY
GETS HER PREGNANT AND THEN KILLS HER
VICTIM'S BOYFRIEND IS PRIME SUSPEC- Hey!
- Good day.
Hi.
Let's see, let's see
You did it the right way.
Most people cut themselves horizontally,
but it's slower
and much more painful.
You must really want to die.
Here.
Take it.
For when you feel better.
It's my favorite.
I don't know where the dead go,
but I don't think they've got chocolate.
Keep it.
Thank you.
I've told you
I don't want to see you around the beds.
Next time, I'm calling security.
Why?
You have no respect
for the patients' privacy.
You wouldn't hesitate to take photos
of seriously injured patients.
In the recovery unit? I don't think so.
Now, if we were in the ICU
Okay, okay. Sorry.
Okay, what do you want?
I have to get back to work.
I owe you a meal.
Want to go now?
- What happened to you?
- Nothing.
Santiago.
I got mugged at work.
- Let's get you checked out.
- The paramedic already did. I'm okay.
I have half an hour.
Marce, you and I see
the same things every night.
Why would you want to bring a child
into this world?
That's where you're wrong.
I see the exact opposite of what you see.
Santiago, I know you're scared.
I'm scared too, I really am.
I'm not scared,
it's not the right time to have a kid.
How are we going to support them?
Who's going to take care of them?
That's not a big deal,
we'll figure it out.
It's not that simple. Think about my job.
My career hasn't taken off.
- Just a few front pages more so I can
- Santiago, come on
Have you ever considered that you might
never make it at your current job?
For how long have you been trying?
How many years?
Let's change our lives.
We've been together for 14 years.
This is the biggest thing
that's happened to us.
Things are fine the way they are.
Why change it?
Do you really think that we're fine?
Isn't that too much?
I can't taste a thing.
The CAT scan and the MRI seem perfect.
We can rule out brain damage.
Good news, I guess.
They would be if the ENhad found something in the nasal cavity,
but he didn't.
- Maybe I caught something?
- Yes, that's what I thought.
But you didn't test positive
for any virus.
There's nothing wrong with you.
There aren't any physiological causes
for the seizure,
or the loss of smell and taste.
Some patients experience
stress somatization,
and lose control
over certain bodily functions.
Some cases of chronic insomnia
or facial paralysis, for example.
Hysterical blindness is less common,
but it happens.
Santiago.
Don't you think we need a second opinion?
That doctor doesn't know
what she's talking about.
Do whatever you want.
I have to get back to work.
Are you really gonna leave me here?
Feels awful, doesn't it?
Marcela.
Zombie?
What's up with you?

THURSDAY
These huevos rancheros are top notch.
- Sure you don't want any?
- No.
You're on a bad streak.
- Did they steal anything?
- Nothing, as far as I know.
Then why do you think someone broke in?
Because they left this at my place.
My dog found it in the kitchen.
Why the fuck are you carrying that around?
- What's wrong?
- Get it off the table!
Come on. We're eating.
Santiago, that's witchcraft.
And some heavy shit.
I know about this stuff.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I don't believe in that.
- Who else has access to your house?
- No one
just my wife and I.
- There you go.
- What?
- No, she didn't do it.
- Didn't your wallet get stolen?
- You think it might be related?
- Well, your ID has your address.
Someone's definitely out to get you.
What? Why me?
- What did I do?
- I can't imagine why
How many have you pissed off
by taking photos of their dead relatives?
Have strange things been happening to you?
Things you can't explain?
I know someone who can help you.
Let me give you her number.
Hi.
I'm looking for Leonor Romero.
Come on in, bro.
It's two thousand pesos.
Wait here.
Put your backpack down.
Father, in your infinite mercy,
help your servant.
Free his path from thorns.
Shine your light on him.
Take a seat.
As you can see, there's something
wrong with you.
Tell me about it.
I lost my sense of smell
and I can't taste food.
What else?
I found this hidden in my home.
Put it on the table.
Open it.
Take out what's inside.
SANTIAGO MENDOZA,
YOUR LIFE WILL BE IN DARKNESS
Someone cursed you.
Do you have any enemies?
Anyone who wants to hurt you?
Not that I know of.
Well, you messed with someone
you shouldn't have.
Can you cleanse me?
You need a lot more than that.
- I can get rid of the toad.
- It doesn't matter what you do with it.
Your fate is sealed.
I can't help you.
But there's someone who can
though it's going to cost you.
- How much?
- A hundred thousand pesos.
I don't have that kind of money.
Close your eyes.
You don't believe me, do you?
Close them and you'll see.
Open them.
This is a powerful curse.
And a very dark one.
You've got two days to live.
Two senses
If you want to survive this,
we need to act quickly.
Get everything on this list for tonight.
And one last thing.
You'll need to make a sacrifice
in exchange for your life.
SPIRITUAL CLEANSES, READINGS,
LOVE, HEALTH, BUSINESS SPELLS
Can you help me with this?
WHERE ARE YOU? DID YOU TAKE ZOMBIE?
Did you bring the rest?
Drink this, it will help.
How did everything go?
We did it.
We stopped the curse.
But what you've lost is forever gone.
Thank you.
FRIDAY
- Santiago.
- It's okay.
What happened? Where were you?
Forgive me, Marcela.
Very strange things
have been happening to me.
But I'm gonna be okay now.
What are you talking about?
You are scaring me.
The day I left you at the hospital
I wish I'd stayed with you.
Never again.
Santiago
Santiago.
Where did you go?
Nowhere.
I'm right here with you.
I want to give you what you want.
It's just that...
Let's not talk about it right now.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
Santiago
What's the matter?
Santiago, what's wrong?
Santiago!
What's wrong!
- There's something inside my ear.
- What?
Let me see.
- Get it out, please!
- Easy, calm down.
- Don't move, stay calm.
- Get it out!
What is that?
It can't be.
Who are you calling?
What's going on, Santiago? Talk to me.
Santiago!
I can see you don't believe me.
- I want to help you, Santiago.
- Marce.
I have to go.
Let me take you to the hospital.
You should see a psychologist, please.
Wait, I'll show you.
What are you doing?
Look.
- Santiago, don't!
- It doesn't hurt.
I can't feel anything.
Okay, you're right. You're right.
I believe you.
Let me take care of you, okay?
Hold it. I'll get my first aid kit.
You don't believe me.
Leonor!
Open up!
Leonor!

What happened?
He had a heart attack as soon as you left.
What are you doing here?
It didn't work.
It didn't work at all. I'm going deaf.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else
I can do for you.
Listen, I'm sorry
about what happened to your friend
but I'm still here, alive.
Please, help me.
I don't want to turn into a vegetable.
Word of advice
go home.
The time you have left,
use it wisely
and seize it.

I don't know where the dead go,
but I don't think they've got chocolate.
Keep it.
Thank you.
I've told you
I don't want to see you around the beds.
Next time, I'm calling security.
Why?
You have no respect
for the patients' privacy.
You wouldn't hesitate to take photos
of seriously injured patients.
In the recovery unit? I don't think so.
Now, if we were in the ICU
Okay, okay. Sorry.
Okay, what do you want?
I have to get back to work.
I owe you a meal.
Want to go now?
- What happened to you?
- Nothing.
Santiago.
I got mugged at work.
- Let's get you checked out.
- The paramedic already did. I'm okay.
I have half an hour.
Marce, you and I see
the same things every night.
Why would you want to bring a child
into this world?
That's where you're wrong.
I see the exact opposite of what you see.
Santiago, I know you're scared.
I'm scared too, I really am.
I'm not scared,
it's not the right time to have a kid.
How are we going to support them?
Who's going to take care of them?
That's not a big deal,
we'll figure it out.
It's not that simple. Think about my job.
My career hasn't taken off.
- Just a few front pages more so I can
- Santiago, come on
Have you ever considered that you might
never make it at your current job?
For how long have you been trying?
How many years?
Let's change our lives.
We've been together for 14 years.
This is the biggest thing
that's happened to us.
Things are fine the way they are.
Why change it?
Do you really think that we're fine?
Isn't that too much?
I can't taste a thing.
The CAT scan and the MRI seem perfect.
We can rule out brain damage.
Good news, I guess.
They would be if the ENhad found something in the nasal cavity,
but he didn't.
- Maybe I caught something?
- Yes, that's what I thought.
But you didn't test positive
for any virus.
There's nothing wrong with you.
There aren't any physiological causes
for the seizure,
or the loss of smell and taste.
Some patients experience
stress somatization,
and lose control
over certain bodily functions.
Some cases of chronic insomnia
or facial paralysis, for example.
Hysterical blindness is less common,
but it happens.
Santiago.
Don't you think we need a second opinion?
That doctor doesn't know
what she's talking about.
Do whatever you want.
I have to get back to work.
Are you really gonna leave me here?
Feels awful, doesn't it?
Marcela.
Zombie?
What's up with you?
Here, boy.
What are you doing?
Come here.
Come on.
Let go! I said let go!
Zombie! Stop it!
What's wrong with you? Stop!

Nothing, nothing.
I'm sorry, honey. Go back to sleep.
- Are you sure?
- Yes
Yes, sorry.
Zombie!
Shut up!
Zombie! Knock it off!
Hey, shut the fuck up!
Scoot over. Go to your bed. Enough!
Shut up already!
Goddamn dog.
THURSDAY
These huevos rancheros are top notch.
- Sure you don't want any?
- No.
You're on a bad streak.
- Did they steal anything?
- Nothing, as far as I know.
Then why do you think someone broke in?
Because they left this at my place.
My dog found it in the kitchen.
Why the fuck are you carrying that around?
- What's wrong?
- Get it off the table!
Come on. We're eating.
Santiago, that's witchcraft.
And some heavy shit.
I know about this stuff.
What the fuck are you talking about?
I don't believe in that.
- Who else has access to your house?
- No one
just my wife and I.
- There you go.
- What?
- No, she didn't do it.
- Didn't your wallet get stolen?
- You think it might be related?
- Well, your ID has your address.
Someone's definitely out to get you.
What? Why me?
- What did I do?
- I can't imagine why
How many have you pissed off
by taking photos of their dead relatives?
Have strange things been happening to you?
Things you can't explain?
I know someone who can help you.
Let me give you her number.
Hi.
I'm looking for Leonor Romero.
Come on in, bro.
It's two thousand pesos.
Wait here.
Put your backpack down.
Father, in your infinite mercy,
help your servant.
Free his path from thorns.
Shine your light on him.
Take a seat.
As you can see, there's something
wrong with you.
Tell me about it.
I lost my sense of smell
and I can't taste food.
What else?
I found this hidden in my home.
Put it on the table.
Open it.
Take out what's inside.
SANTIAGO MENDOZA,
YOUR LIFE WILL BE IN DARKNESS
Someone cursed you.
Do you have any enemies?
Anyone who wants to hurt you?
Not that I know of.
Well, you messed with someone
you shouldn't have.
Can you cleanse me?
You need a lot more than that.
- I can get rid of the toad.
- It doesn't matter what you do with it.
Your fate is sealed.
I can't help you.
But there's someone who can
though it's going to cost you.
- How much?
- A hundred thousand pesos.
I don't have that kind of money.
Close your eyes.
You don't believe me, do you?
Close them and you'll see.
Open them.
This is a powerful curse.
And a very dark one.
You've got two days to live.
Two senses
If you want to survive this,
we need to act quickly.
Get everything on this list for tonight.
And one last thing.
You'll need to make a sacrifice
in exchange for your life.
SPIRITUAL CLEANSES, READINGS,
LOVE, HEALTH, BUSINESS SPELLS
Can you help me with this?
WHERE ARE YOU? DID YOU TAKE ZOMBIE?
Did you bring the rest?
Drink this, it will help.
How did everything go?
We did it.
We stopped the curse.
But what you've lost is forever gone.
Thank you.
FRIDAY
- Santiago.
- It's okay.
What happened? Where were you?
Forgive me, Marcela.
Very strange things
have been happening to me.
But I'm gonna be okay now.
What are you talking about?
You are scaring me.
The day I left you at the hospital
I wish I'd stayed with you.
Never again.
Santiago
Santiago.
Where did you go?
Nowhere.
I'm right here with you.
I want to give you what you want.
It's just that...
Let's not talk about it right now.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
Santiago
What's the matter?
Santiago, what's wrong?
Santiago!
What's wrong!
- There's something inside my ear.
- What?
Let me see.
- Get it out, please!
- Easy, calm down.
- Don't move, stay calm.
- Get it out!
What is that?
It can't be.
Who are you calling?
What's going on, Santiago? Talk to me.
Santiago!
I can see you don't believe me.
- I want to help you, Santiago.
- Marce.
I have to go.
Let me take you to the hospital.
You should see a psychologist, please.
Wait, I'll show you.
What are you doing?
Look.
- Santiago, don't!
- It doesn't hurt.
I can't feel anything.
Okay, you're right. You're right.
I believe you.
Let me take care of you, okay?
Hold it. I'll get my first aid kit.
You don't believe me.
Leonor!
Open up!
Leonor!
- Holy child.
- Pray for him.
- Holy guardians of the lake.
- Pray for him.
- Our Lady of the Forsaken.
- Pray for him.
- Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
- Pray for him.
- Our kind Lady.
- Pray for him.
- Our admirable Lady.
- Pray for him.
- Our Lady of Good Counsel.
- Pray for him.
- Mother of the Creator.
- Pray for him.
- Mother of the Savior.
- Pray for him.
What happened?
He had a heart attack as soon as you left.
What are you doing here?
It didn't work.
It didn't work at all. I'm going deaf.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else
I can do for you.
Listen, I'm sorry
about what happened to your friend
but I'm still here, alive.
Please, help me.
I don't want to turn into a vegetable.
Word of advice
go home.
The time you have left,
use it wisely
and seize it.

POLICE
What the hell happened to you?
Where's your camera?
I only saw the rats over there.
Weird.
There was no one there
when we searched the place.
- I don't see how we could've missed him.
- I need you to help me find him.
They already fucked up the Senator.
Do you want us to end up like him?
Like you?
I'm sorry, Santiago,
Have you looked into
who might have motives
to fuck the Senator over?

I'll call you back. Okay, bye.
What's going on?
I've been calling you.
Why don't you pick up the damn phone?
I need a favor.
Santiago?
Thank you for meeting me.
I'm not here.
How do you know all that stuff
about Senator Castellanos?
When you're the driver,
you learn all about them.
They forget you're even there.
Do you work for her?
Not anymore.
Do you know who this is?
Did you take this?
You're messing with the devil himself.
I need to find him!
I know where he lives.
But that place is no man's land.
Are you sure you want to go there
and meet him?
I've got nothing to lose.
You never should have taken that photo.
I'll send you the address.
Free me from this.
I'll do anything you want,
just make it go away.
Make it go away!

before you disappear.
