Last to Die (2025) Movie Script
1
Running from death,
it's like trying to
escape from your shadow.
You can run and run,
but you will never be
more than a step ahead.
And it will always be just a step behind.
I've been running my whole life,
never looking back,
hoping to avoid the fate of my parents.
But no matter where I run,
no matter how far,
I always seem to end up in
the same place I started.
You can't run from your past.
What do you know about Mystic Lake?
Never heard of it.
I thought you grew up in that area?
Laguna de Eternidad.
Oh, right.
And?
I lived for less than a year before.
You ever go swimming there?
Not that I remember.
Legend says the lake was
sacred to local Indians.
They have rituals near the lake,
but it was forbidden to go into the water.
Well, that wouldn't stop me
from swimming there on a hot day.
Oh, such a rebel.
Anyone caught in the
lake was put to death.
But some thought it was worth the risk.
Because?
They believed soaking in the waters
will give them the power to live forever.
Ooh.
Well, count on me.
I mean, as long as I can look like this.
Eternal life though?
That's just another myth
for people hoping for better things.
Hm, I mean, if you'd ask me,
I'd say they were inspired
by hallucinations.
I bet they used to make
some wild herb cocktails.
It takes more than drugs
to keep thousands of
people out of the water.
Today, the lake is closed
to tourists.
I bet they still have rituals today.
Not everything in life is paranormal.
Maybe they just wanted to preserve
the flora and fauna around the lake.
Or maybe not.
Enter.
Marco.
Don Garza.
Mars and Venus will align with the Moon
and the lake will be still.
Then?
It's coming.
You seem reluctant?
Isn't there another way?
It is not wise to question the council.
One flesh sustains many.
Time without end.
Time without end.
I'll leave tonight.
Marco.
Burden is much heavier
when you carry it alone.
The village is with you.
Bad news?
Oh, Sammy.
It's a letter from the lawyers.
And?
And I have to do
something about the house.
I mean, it's been a year since he died.
If you don't?
The village takes it over.
Well, you can't let them.
This is the final notice.
Yeah, and your uncle wanted
you to have that house.
It's yours.
It's funny, I mean,
I only lived there for a year
but it's the only home I know.
You have to sign the papers.
I've been too afraid to go back there.
There's too many memories.
Well, you can always sell the house.
Besides, it's a beautiful pueblo.
Where I lost everything,
including Uncle Juan.
Okay, then what are you going to do?
Get away, get away!
No, no!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Come back! Come back Felipe!
Is there a connection
between Villa Eterna and missing children?
Well, he's out there somewhere.
I can't imagine how it feels right now.
Scared, all alone.
We were doing everything
we can to find him.
We always take care of our own.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Guess I turned it off.
Good night, Maya.
Hello?
Hello?
Kiara?
Kiara?
Maya!
What are you doing?
I thought you were in a trance.
My god, no.
Look, I know you don't wanna hear this,
but your father worked really hard.
-You scared me.
-I know, I know.
But look, just listen to me.
Your father worked really
hard to get that house.
If you let it go, you are
disrespecting everything
he tried to do for your family.
-But?
-Sammy,
just sign the papers.
I'll organize a trip.
It'll be fun.
Yes? No? Maybe?
I'll think about it.
Okay, think about it.
So that means yes.
No sleep, no rules, no plans
We're standing fast like ceiling fans
One less breath, then we ignite
This is our moment
-Uh-oh.
-What's wrong?
We're out of gas.
That's impossible, we
filled up before we left.
Kiara.
You guys are no fun.
I just wanted to take
a little break, geez.
Hilarious.
Hey, Kiara.
Where'd those clouds come from?
No idea.
Dude, I need a beer... now.
They're in the trunk.
-It's opened.
-Thank you.
I know it is none of my business,
but why do we stop here?
What do you mean?
I mean, no stores, no
bathrooms, and no guys.
This day is a total waste of makeup.
Lupe, Lupe, look at the view.
It's amazing,
and you can breathe the
air without choking.
Oh my god, I know.
The carbon monoxide and bubble
die is extremely depressing.
Carbon what?
Monoxide, air pollution.
Like that.
Hey girls, anybody else want one?
Why is she here?
Buzzkills.
You want some?
No thanks.
I came here
when I was a little girl.
Watch it.
Wow.
The view looks better already.
Hi, do you know how far
it is until Villa Eterna?
What's this?
-Cachume cupay.
-Cachume?
I gotta have it for my collection?
How much is it?
-20, 25?
-No.
-50? Sorry.
-No, no.
Thank you.
Look at this.
It's so different.
What? Look at this guys.
This is so amazing.
Where's Kiara?
I don't know.
She's around here somewhere.
Kiara!
Kiara!
She might be Lupe.
Where is she?
Why Kiara? Why?
Oh my god.
Where did you get that?
I found it in the bushes, what's wrong?
Seriously, that's like the worst thing
you could have ever done.
I'm enjoying the fauna.
You want some beer?
Oh yeah, I want beer.
That's the best thing I
could have done right there.
Where did you even find that?
I just said I find it right there.
Well, that's disgusting.
And I couldn't even think.
Hey Sam come on.
Sorry, guys.
Let's take a selfie.
One, two, three.
Cheese!
Whoo!
Let's go.
I stopped exploring because of you.
Yeah, let's see the view, the fauna.
Wait for me.
Where's the attendant?
Tranquila.
Well, let's find another one.
In this place?
I don't think so.
We're running on fumes right now, Gabby.
Gabby.
Girls, what do you think?
Tomorrow, just tonight
There's nobody here.
Things aren't
always as they appear
Where did you come from?
Antonio Garza.
I'm the mayor of our humble little pueblo.
Unfortunately, the whole town
is shut down for the week.
Shut down?
Everything's closed.
It's our most sacred holiday.
You don't have hotel reservations, do you?
-No, we are staying.
-Doesn't matter.
You'd be wise to leave.
The sooner the better.
Yeah, sure.
But you make sure to come back,
and see us another day, all right?
Girls, that was weird.
-Shit!
-What?
Mommy, who was that scary man?
There's a gas station about
15 kilometers back that way.
But you better hurry.
It closes at 6:00.
Hurry up, hurry.
Hurry, come on.
That was creepy.
What did he say to you?
Something about a sacred holiday.
The pueblo's shut down for the week.
Oh, what's creepy about that?
Look out!
Wait!
Oh my god.
Wait, come back!
Hey! Come back!
Where are you going? Stop!
I don't get it
He vanished in thin air.
He was running scared.
He looked like he needed help guys.
Who knows?
He was lucky I didn't hit him.
Well, so are you.
Don't you guys think
it's a little weird?
What?
The boy or this pueblo?
Are you okay Sammy?
All right, come on, can we go?
I need to pee.
-Fine.
Okay, we're almost there.
Right on schedule.
It's so far.
That old tree
hasn't changed a bit.
That was really funny.
I'm not doing that.
Oh, okay.
So we're home girls.
Oh, first thing we need tomorrow, gas.
Hey Sammy, not bad.
This is yours now.
Oh yes, you're a land baron now, Sammy.
I was standing right here
last time I saw my family.
Miguel asked me to go
to the movies with him.
Sammy?
I hope the bathrooms work.
Where is it?
Nice Lupe, nice Lupe.
Yeah, you can just go first as always.
Yeah, just go.
It's so crazy, you know?
Nice, how many bedrooms?
Looks different than I remember.
Wow, girls, check that out.
Is it always that full?
Kiara!
Yeah, it's pretty deep.
It gets fed by the lake.
Girls let's just relax a little bit.
We can figure out the beds later.
This place screams beer me.
And finally I've got
some time to do my nails...
Finally.
Where's the light switch?
I'm okay, thanks.
I wish I had a match right now.
Hey Sammy, join me.
I hate to drink alone.
I guess cheers.
Lupe, are you sure you get enough
of that for the whole weekend?
Let me know if you wanna
work on that mess of hair.
Should we get some lights on
before it's completely dark?
No, there's gotta be a
switch around somewhere.
Try the living room.
-Make sense.
-Okay.
How can you drink this stuff?
It's disgusting.
Are you kidding me?
This is so good.
There's no electricity.
There's a house down the road.
Maybe they can tell us what's
going on with the power.
-You want me to come with?
-No, just relax.
Do you know where the flashlight is?
I left it in the car.
Okay, I'll be back in a few.
I don't think this
place has any electricity.
We'll figure it out, just relax.
Fuck.
Probably just an owl.
Such a chicken.
Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody here? No?
Hello?
Kiara!
Come on, Kiara!
Kiara!
Nobody's here.
Not funny Kiara.
Shh! Listen.
To what?
I think it's Kiara's.
Or not.
Probably, it was just a
little clue to try to scare us.
Kiara, play time is over, come on!
Kiara!
Okay, you got us, nice trick.
Now we're going back home, come on.
Should we find her?
No, no, no. I'm bored.
She's gonna get back home
when she gets tired of her little game.
Nice touch, Kiara!
Come on.
Come on Laura!
Lupe, can I see your phone?
What's wrong with yours?
No coverage.
Me neither.
Sam, Laura?
What's going on?
Bad batteries?
Not likely, but we do need to call
for help with the power.
Why don't you call then?
Oh, oh wait.
Okay girls, everybody just
take a deep breath, right?
There's gotta be a power
switch around here somewhere.
Wait a second, Gabriela.
Hold on.
-Duh.
-What?
Nobody paid the electricity
bill for six months.
No money, no power.
We need to find Kiara and leave now.
Guys?
Wait, is that Kiara?
I am gonna lock the door Kiara.
Knock when you wanna come in, okay?
Nothing.
Something's not right.
I can feel it.
That girl should come
with a warning label.
Wanna go?
-We can't.
-Why not?
Kiara has the car keys.
Okay girls, I think we all feel better
if we have a little bit of light.
So let's look around for some more candles
and I'll start the fire.
Can I have that?
I think we should stay together.
Whatever!
I'll go with Laura.
Okay, you two take downstairs
and we'll check upstairs.
Holy shit.
Candles, right?
Hmm, that's a lot of mirrors.
Yeah, it's like 10, 15 of them.
It's like a wet dream for Lupe.
Got it.
What was that?
Sam.
Seriously, I thought you
guys were going upstairs.
We decided to take a break first.
We found this.
What did you find?
We found some too.
This will help you to relax dude.
I remember my dad
used to have a workshop.
Maybe the breaker is in there.
Here.
Kiara?
Come on, Samantha.
Yes.
Yes.
Gotta find some gas, okay?
Guys, there's something out there.
Come here.
Are you serious?
Where?
It's right there.
Keep watching.
Was it an animal?
No.
It was a person.
Maybe.
Okay.
It was kind of like...
Go on, Laura.
A thing, I don't know.
Fuck you.
I take it back unfuck you.
It stood up like a human,
but it was not a man.
Because?
I don't know.
Something about the shape.
Okay, I think somebody
smoked a little bit too much.
Stalk much lately?
It looks like a shrine.
Is that Sam?
Sam, she needs help.
That was frustration, not fear.
What is that?
Down there.
Come on.
I will stay here.
Are you sure?
Hello?
Who's there?
Shit!
What the the fuck?
What the hell are you doing?
I called, but you didn't answer.
When I saw the door open, I don't know,
I didn't think I just reacted.
Oh, you know what?
Next time try throwing
things with your eyes open.
I'm sorry.
Sorry wouldn't fix my cracked skull.
What are you going to do with that?
It's a power generator.
For?
For electricity.
So I suppose you have a plan?
Yeah, we need lights.
Yeah, and do you have some lights?
Oh, I thought maybe we
can hook it up to the house.
Oh, now you're an electrician.
There has to be a way.
If you don't burn the
house down in the process.
Chicas, what do you
think the switch is for?
Connect cable below.
Start generator and click the switch.
Lupe, I think I got this.
Can you please find the outlet?
Gabriela, are you gonna
give me a hand or not?
Come on Gabriela, please?
All the way over there.
-Okay, pull harder.
-I am pulling.
Do you not see me pulling?
Oh, come here help please.
Lupe it's over here.
Okay, let's hope this works.
The good news, nothing blew up.
Bravo, Sammy.
Whoo!
Gabriela!
Is that Miguel?
He looks like you.
My twin brother.
I should have been with him
that night of that accident.
And then you would be dead.
I don't think so.
What do you mean?
He didn't die in that crash.
How do you know?
Well, my Uncle Juan told
me he found his backpack
far from the accident.
So?
So his body wasn't found in the car.
Laura, he walked away from that.
He spent all his free time
trying to figure out
what happened to Miguel.
Must have cost him his life.
You see this?
Listen to this.
Listen, I was talking to Senora Rodriguez
a couple of days ago.
She started telling me about the lake,
but Garza showed up out of nowhere.
After that, she wouldn't talk to me.
I went to her house a couple of times,
but she never answered the door.
Who's Garza?
Do you remember that
guy at the gas station
was named Garza?
What else does it say?
It's blank.
So what do you think
happened to your brother?
I don't know, but my
uncle was getting close.
Close enough to be dangerous?
Maybe.
Okay, I mean, it all
sounds a little bit strange.
There's gotta be some reason, no?
Why don't we look for some more lights on?
Okay?
What do you think Kiara
has been doing all this time?
Did you find her?
We have a little bit of a problem.
Oh my god, Kiara?
Is your drama going to
have an intermission soon?
We don't have much gas in the generator.
How much?
I'm guessing less than an hour.
What happens then?
We have one option, but it's not good.
We're gonna have to go
get some gas in town.
I'm not walking to town.
Ditto.
You guys wanna be in the dark all night?
She's right, somebody has to go.
I'll go, but I'm not going by myself.
It's only like two
kilometers to the gas station
and it's faster if we go by the lakes.
It's not that big of a deal.
But it was closed.
You have a better idea, Lupe?
Come with me.
Okay girls, so we all agree, right?
The shortest stick goes with Sam.
Isn't there another way?
Who wants to start first?
My guess is we'll find Kiara
in some type of dive bar in town.
But it's a holiday, remember?
Drinking never takes a holiday.
Okay, let's get it over with.
-Oh god.
-No.
Wait, I meant to pick that one.
Laura?
Come on, Laura.
Just get it over with.
Come on, Laura.
And that leaves me.
I'm not... I can't.
I don't have any hiking shoes.
Fair is fair, Lupe.
Was I talking to you?
Okay, we all agree, you have to go.
You have to go.
Come on, Lupe.
Let's go, we're running out of time.
You got the flashlight?
Yeah.
Leave your makeup here.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Sorry, did I just make things weird?
What the hell?
Open this door!
You don't want to wake the neighbors.
You forgot this.
Bye.
Where's Sam?
I don't know, she told me to stay here.
What are you doing here?
Well, Sam said she works better alone.
Liar.
Whatever
Girls, I mean, according to Sam,
if we don't have gas in about 45 minutes,
we're all gonna be in the dark.
At least she has a flashlight.
Oh, oops.
The whole thing happened pretty fast.
Let's see what else
we can find around here.
My, my, my, my
Inner peace gets interrupted by
So called agony in the things that I
Never try to hide
Tragedy
east of Bogota tonight
after a deadly car crash...
Your eyes, eyes, eyes
Had understanding
came and mesmerize, oh
Put me at ease then go and hit rewind
Stepping back again
Stepping back again
In the dark place from which you came
Where old habits are to blame
Are to blame
As if I could break that chain
Investigators
haven't yet to determine
the cause of the accident, but
haven't ruled out foul play.
Shadows of a past
Past
Pulls you back, pulls you back
Back
Inhibited all we could've had
From the day it began
Is there a connection
Shadows of a past
between Villa Eterna and missing children?
Past
Pulled you back under
Ugh, shit.
What the hell am I doing here?
You understand, Dad, right?
Wow, worse than moonshine? What?
Kiara, are you bored yet?
Kind of cold out here.
Come on.
Kiara.
Where are you?
It's kind of cold out here.
Come on Kiara.
It's so fucking stupid, man.
Is somebody there?
Oh, shit.
What is it?
Amazing grace
How sweet
The sound
That saved
A wretch
Like me...
I once
Was lost
But now
I'm found
Was blind
But now
I see
Gabriela breathe.
Kiara.
There's all blood man.
Gabriela, breathe.
Lock the doors, close the...
What's going on?
-Kiara...
-You're scaring me.
She was hanging.
-She's gone.
-What?
She's gone.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
You get these ropes off of me.
Hurry please.
You're the boy from the street.
Why are you tied up?
What happened to you?
Come on, let's go.
It's coming in quick.
-What's coming?
-Cachume.
It's coming.
There's gotta be a gun
hidden around here somewhere.
Did you see that carving
that old man had today?
No, why?
It looked like this sketch.
Focus Laura, okay, we need protection.
Okay, okay.
Maybe?
What the hell?
Is that Garza?
Might be.
Ooh, what is a Still Eclipse?
Sometimes Mars and Venus
line up with the Moon.
It happens every 11 years.
The Musca thought it was sacred.
When is gonna be the next one?
-Tonight?
-Shit.
Do you think this is real?
It's either real
or Uncle Juan is just
a first class nut job.
The cachume?
Let's hope.
We never find out.
Who tied you up?
Maybe the men who kidnapped me.
What?
They took me from my barrio.
Why?
They wanna sacrifice me to cachume.
Cachume?
That's just a legend.
I think that's your legend
So they used to have a lottery,
but after Miguel was sacrificed,
they started stealing kids
around barrios in Bogota.
To support the kids in Villa Eterna?
There were no kids left in the village.
But why?
It doesn't say.
I hope Sam gets back soon.
Anything else?
What is it, honey?
Tell me.
If you come with me,
maybe it'll eat you too.
Not tonight.
I think, I know a place
where we'll be safe.
Back in the town.
I can't leave the others.
Come on, Sam.
And you think this will stop Cachume?
Hopefully, we won't need this.
But if the legend is real,
the demon doesn't like lights.
Is there
anything else we can do?
Three hail Marys, and a shot of tequila.
Where is she?
Probably dead in the street somewhere.
You better hope you're wrong, okay?
This way, this way.
Let's get into the house now.
Come on Sam!
Start the generator!
Hurry!
Lock the door!
Do Something!
Was that?
The Cachume.
Do you think guys,
it's safe to go outside?
As long as these lights are on,
we should be okay.
Guys, bring your lights, grab a knife
and take the boy with.
I want you to go with the girls, okay?
I need to talk with your new friend.
You're okay.
Where did you find him?
At the lake all tied up.
He has to go.
-Are you kidding?
-No, no, no.
That thing is pissed.
What do you know about that boy?
He was being sacrificed, Gabriela.
Exactly, you took
something that wasn't yours.
Now the demon is hungry.
We have enough gas until
morning and then we...
What about all the people in town?
What about them?
Somebody killed Kiara.
Wait, wait, what?
Was it the demon?
I don't think so.
She was hanging from a tree.
You okay?
Where?
Doesn't matter.
This is bigger than us.
But Felipe was just
left there for that demon.
It's not gonna stop until it gets him.
Maybe it won't stop at all.
Meaning?
What makes you think
it'll stop with the boy?
It's the boy or us.
He stays.
We found some more
letters from your uncle.
Did he say anything about Miguel?
Your uncle thinks Garza
has something to do with it.
Oh,
and we found this.
Senor Fuzzy.
Whoa... that looks like some spy shit.
Ya think.
My phone doesn't have
a memory card holder.
Does anybody have an Android?
I got this.
Thanks.
My dear
Sammy, if you found this
it is because I'm dead.
I talked to Garza today.
I accused him of kidnapping
Miguel for the sacrifice.
When I threatened to
go to the authorities,
He just laughed at me and
said nobody would believe me.
I am packing right now and leaving.
If I don't see you
again, you will know why.
Don't trust anyone in this town.
It's full of dark secrets.
Sell the house and never return.
Love, Uncle Juan.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm going to die, too.
They got Miguel.
Nobody's going to touch you.
Is there enough gas
to keep the lights on?
It's going to be close.
What if the Cachume doesn't leave?
What chance do we have?
What are you doing?
Improving our odds.
Where are you going?
Bingo.
Felipe, why don't you
go look around the house,
see if you can find some type of weapon.
Okay.
We already have some.
Maybe you could help him.
Laura, I need some
baking powder and sugar.
Laura, I need some
baking powder and sugar.
Right there in the pantry.
You got it?
I don't get it Sam.
Once I mix these ingredients together,
we have to cook them into a paste.
But sugar and baking powder?
Stabilizing compounds.
I'll give you lessons later.
Right now, can we just get going please?
And this?
Let's hope we don't have to use that.
Shit, where's the flashlight?
-Come on Sam, look around.
-On it.
Keep looking.
Do something, Laura!
Come on, come on.
Don't go.
He's right, it's too late.
Where's the gas?
Oh god.
Come in, come in, come on.
Come on.
The gas can is gone.
We need to get out of here.
-That thing.
-No, we can outrun it.
No, Felipe can't keep up.
Well, it's the only way.
I'll take my chances here, Gabriela.
Can you help me?
Are you sure you wanna do this?
Okay, when we give the signal, you run.
You don't look back.
And bring back help.
Is she ready?
This should be interesting.
Bohica!
Go away!
Oh shit.
Did you hear that?
Felipe no.
What are you doing?
We might need those later.
I am gonna trust you with this one.
Let me see here.
Okay. That should hold it.
What time is it?
4:45.
Did you lock the door
when Gabriela left?
Now what?
Careful, Sam.
Sam, do you see him?
Ow, ow.
What's he doing?
Sam.
-You ready?
-Okay.
Sam!
I can't.
Don't leave me.
What can I do?
Help me Sam.
Sam.
Sam!
Felipe, come on!
There must be someplace.
Cachume!
Come on.
Sam, look!
Go!
So far so good.
You okay?
Is anyone else left?
We've been looking all over for you.
He's fine.
We're just gonna go get some breakfast.
-But...
-Thank you for watching him.
We'll take care of him now.
Your uncle didn't know when to stop.
It appears you have the same problem.
Now...
be a good girl
and return the child you kidnapped.
I swear his parents won't press charges.
You're kidding, right?
I can assure you, I'm serious.
This town...
Our lives...
Surely you can understand.
Time without end.
Time without end.
But the Cachume is dead.
That was just a messenger.
The eternal one will return tonight.
Give us the boy.
I wish I could.
That's just not going to work right now.
Run.
Oh my god, this way.
Laura?
Felipe!
Go! Go!
Where? How?
Don't ask.
You're alive.
But what if they follow us?
Not gonna happen.
This is great.
It's big, huh?
-Uh huh.
-I know.
Let's up there.
This place is so cool.
I know, right?
You wanna get something to feed the ducks?
I don't know about that.
All right, all right,
it's a joke, come on.
Not funny.
We are gonna have to go
get you some swim lessons.
Okay.
Like a bird.
Woo!
-Woo!
Running from death,
it's like trying to
escape from your shadow.
You can run and run,
but you will never be
more than a step ahead.
And it will always be just a step behind.
I've been running my whole life,
never looking back,
hoping to avoid the fate of my parents.
But no matter where I run,
no matter how far,
I always seem to end up in
the same place I started.
You can't run from your past.
What do you know about Mystic Lake?
Never heard of it.
I thought you grew up in that area?
Laguna de Eternidad.
Oh, right.
And?
I lived for less than a year before.
You ever go swimming there?
Not that I remember.
Legend says the lake was
sacred to local Indians.
They have rituals near the lake,
but it was forbidden to go into the water.
Well, that wouldn't stop me
from swimming there on a hot day.
Oh, such a rebel.
Anyone caught in the
lake was put to death.
But some thought it was worth the risk.
Because?
They believed soaking in the waters
will give them the power to live forever.
Ooh.
Well, count on me.
I mean, as long as I can look like this.
Eternal life though?
That's just another myth
for people hoping for better things.
Hm, I mean, if you'd ask me,
I'd say they were inspired
by hallucinations.
I bet they used to make
some wild herb cocktails.
It takes more than drugs
to keep thousands of
people out of the water.
Today, the lake is closed
to tourists.
I bet they still have rituals today.
Not everything in life is paranormal.
Maybe they just wanted to preserve
the flora and fauna around the lake.
Or maybe not.
Enter.
Marco.
Don Garza.
Mars and Venus will align with the Moon
and the lake will be still.
Then?
It's coming.
You seem reluctant?
Isn't there another way?
It is not wise to question the council.
One flesh sustains many.
Time without end.
Time without end.
I'll leave tonight.
Marco.
Burden is much heavier
when you carry it alone.
The village is with you.
Bad news?
Oh, Sammy.
It's a letter from the lawyers.
And?
And I have to do
something about the house.
I mean, it's been a year since he died.
If you don't?
The village takes it over.
Well, you can't let them.
This is the final notice.
Yeah, and your uncle wanted
you to have that house.
It's yours.
It's funny, I mean,
I only lived there for a year
but it's the only home I know.
You have to sign the papers.
I've been too afraid to go back there.
There's too many memories.
Well, you can always sell the house.
Besides, it's a beautiful pueblo.
Where I lost everything,
including Uncle Juan.
Okay, then what are you going to do?
Get away, get away!
No, no!
Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Come back! Come back Felipe!
Is there a connection
between Villa Eterna and missing children?
Well, he's out there somewhere.
I can't imagine how it feels right now.
Scared, all alone.
We were doing everything
we can to find him.
We always take care of our own.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Guess I turned it off.
Good night, Maya.
Hello?
Hello?
Kiara?
Kiara?
Maya!
What are you doing?
I thought you were in a trance.
My god, no.
Look, I know you don't wanna hear this,
but your father worked really hard.
-You scared me.
-I know, I know.
But look, just listen to me.
Your father worked really
hard to get that house.
If you let it go, you are
disrespecting everything
he tried to do for your family.
-But?
-Sammy,
just sign the papers.
I'll organize a trip.
It'll be fun.
Yes? No? Maybe?
I'll think about it.
Okay, think about it.
So that means yes.
No sleep, no rules, no plans
We're standing fast like ceiling fans
One less breath, then we ignite
This is our moment
-Uh-oh.
-What's wrong?
We're out of gas.
That's impossible, we
filled up before we left.
Kiara.
You guys are no fun.
I just wanted to take
a little break, geez.
Hilarious.
Hey, Kiara.
Where'd those clouds come from?
No idea.
Dude, I need a beer... now.
They're in the trunk.
-It's opened.
-Thank you.
I know it is none of my business,
but why do we stop here?
What do you mean?
I mean, no stores, no
bathrooms, and no guys.
This day is a total waste of makeup.
Lupe, Lupe, look at the view.
It's amazing,
and you can breathe the
air without choking.
Oh my god, I know.
The carbon monoxide and bubble
die is extremely depressing.
Carbon what?
Monoxide, air pollution.
Like that.
Hey girls, anybody else want one?
Why is she here?
Buzzkills.
You want some?
No thanks.
I came here
when I was a little girl.
Watch it.
Wow.
The view looks better already.
Hi, do you know how far
it is until Villa Eterna?
What's this?
-Cachume cupay.
-Cachume?
I gotta have it for my collection?
How much is it?
-20, 25?
-No.
-50? Sorry.
-No, no.
Thank you.
Look at this.
It's so different.
What? Look at this guys.
This is so amazing.
Where's Kiara?
I don't know.
She's around here somewhere.
Kiara!
Kiara!
She might be Lupe.
Where is she?
Why Kiara? Why?
Oh my god.
Where did you get that?
I found it in the bushes, what's wrong?
Seriously, that's like the worst thing
you could have ever done.
I'm enjoying the fauna.
You want some beer?
Oh yeah, I want beer.
That's the best thing I
could have done right there.
Where did you even find that?
I just said I find it right there.
Well, that's disgusting.
And I couldn't even think.
Hey Sam come on.
Sorry, guys.
Let's take a selfie.
One, two, three.
Cheese!
Whoo!
Let's go.
I stopped exploring because of you.
Yeah, let's see the view, the fauna.
Wait for me.
Where's the attendant?
Tranquila.
Well, let's find another one.
In this place?
I don't think so.
We're running on fumes right now, Gabby.
Gabby.
Girls, what do you think?
Tomorrow, just tonight
There's nobody here.
Things aren't
always as they appear
Where did you come from?
Antonio Garza.
I'm the mayor of our humble little pueblo.
Unfortunately, the whole town
is shut down for the week.
Shut down?
Everything's closed.
It's our most sacred holiday.
You don't have hotel reservations, do you?
-No, we are staying.
-Doesn't matter.
You'd be wise to leave.
The sooner the better.
Yeah, sure.
But you make sure to come back,
and see us another day, all right?
Girls, that was weird.
-Shit!
-What?
Mommy, who was that scary man?
There's a gas station about
15 kilometers back that way.
But you better hurry.
It closes at 6:00.
Hurry up, hurry.
Hurry, come on.
That was creepy.
What did he say to you?
Something about a sacred holiday.
The pueblo's shut down for the week.
Oh, what's creepy about that?
Look out!
Wait!
Oh my god.
Wait, come back!
Hey! Come back!
Where are you going? Stop!
I don't get it
He vanished in thin air.
He was running scared.
He looked like he needed help guys.
Who knows?
He was lucky I didn't hit him.
Well, so are you.
Don't you guys think
it's a little weird?
What?
The boy or this pueblo?
Are you okay Sammy?
All right, come on, can we go?
I need to pee.
-Fine.
Okay, we're almost there.
Right on schedule.
It's so far.
That old tree
hasn't changed a bit.
That was really funny.
I'm not doing that.
Oh, okay.
So we're home girls.
Oh, first thing we need tomorrow, gas.
Hey Sammy, not bad.
This is yours now.
Oh yes, you're a land baron now, Sammy.
I was standing right here
last time I saw my family.
Miguel asked me to go
to the movies with him.
Sammy?
I hope the bathrooms work.
Where is it?
Nice Lupe, nice Lupe.
Yeah, you can just go first as always.
Yeah, just go.
It's so crazy, you know?
Nice, how many bedrooms?
Looks different than I remember.
Wow, girls, check that out.
Is it always that full?
Kiara!
Yeah, it's pretty deep.
It gets fed by the lake.
Girls let's just relax a little bit.
We can figure out the beds later.
This place screams beer me.
And finally I've got
some time to do my nails...
Finally.
Where's the light switch?
I'm okay, thanks.
I wish I had a match right now.
Hey Sammy, join me.
I hate to drink alone.
I guess cheers.
Lupe, are you sure you get enough
of that for the whole weekend?
Let me know if you wanna
work on that mess of hair.
Should we get some lights on
before it's completely dark?
No, there's gotta be a
switch around somewhere.
Try the living room.
-Make sense.
-Okay.
How can you drink this stuff?
It's disgusting.
Are you kidding me?
This is so good.
There's no electricity.
There's a house down the road.
Maybe they can tell us what's
going on with the power.
-You want me to come with?
-No, just relax.
Do you know where the flashlight is?
I left it in the car.
Okay, I'll be back in a few.
I don't think this
place has any electricity.
We'll figure it out, just relax.
Fuck.
Probably just an owl.
Such a chicken.
Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody here? No?
Hello?
Kiara!
Come on, Kiara!
Kiara!
Nobody's here.
Not funny Kiara.
Shh! Listen.
To what?
I think it's Kiara's.
Or not.
Probably, it was just a
little clue to try to scare us.
Kiara, play time is over, come on!
Kiara!
Okay, you got us, nice trick.
Now we're going back home, come on.
Should we find her?
No, no, no. I'm bored.
She's gonna get back home
when she gets tired of her little game.
Nice touch, Kiara!
Come on.
Come on Laura!
Lupe, can I see your phone?
What's wrong with yours?
No coverage.
Me neither.
Sam, Laura?
What's going on?
Bad batteries?
Not likely, but we do need to call
for help with the power.
Why don't you call then?
Oh, oh wait.
Okay girls, everybody just
take a deep breath, right?
There's gotta be a power
switch around here somewhere.
Wait a second, Gabriela.
Hold on.
-Duh.
-What?
Nobody paid the electricity
bill for six months.
No money, no power.
We need to find Kiara and leave now.
Guys?
Wait, is that Kiara?
I am gonna lock the door Kiara.
Knock when you wanna come in, okay?
Nothing.
Something's not right.
I can feel it.
That girl should come
with a warning label.
Wanna go?
-We can't.
-Why not?
Kiara has the car keys.
Okay girls, I think we all feel better
if we have a little bit of light.
So let's look around for some more candles
and I'll start the fire.
Can I have that?
I think we should stay together.
Whatever!
I'll go with Laura.
Okay, you two take downstairs
and we'll check upstairs.
Holy shit.
Candles, right?
Hmm, that's a lot of mirrors.
Yeah, it's like 10, 15 of them.
It's like a wet dream for Lupe.
Got it.
What was that?
Sam.
Seriously, I thought you
guys were going upstairs.
We decided to take a break first.
We found this.
What did you find?
We found some too.
This will help you to relax dude.
I remember my dad
used to have a workshop.
Maybe the breaker is in there.
Here.
Kiara?
Come on, Samantha.
Yes.
Yes.
Gotta find some gas, okay?
Guys, there's something out there.
Come here.
Are you serious?
Where?
It's right there.
Keep watching.
Was it an animal?
No.
It was a person.
Maybe.
Okay.
It was kind of like...
Go on, Laura.
A thing, I don't know.
Fuck you.
I take it back unfuck you.
It stood up like a human,
but it was not a man.
Because?
I don't know.
Something about the shape.
Okay, I think somebody
smoked a little bit too much.
Stalk much lately?
It looks like a shrine.
Is that Sam?
Sam, she needs help.
That was frustration, not fear.
What is that?
Down there.
Come on.
I will stay here.
Are you sure?
Hello?
Who's there?
Shit!
What the the fuck?
What the hell are you doing?
I called, but you didn't answer.
When I saw the door open, I don't know,
I didn't think I just reacted.
Oh, you know what?
Next time try throwing
things with your eyes open.
I'm sorry.
Sorry wouldn't fix my cracked skull.
What are you going to do with that?
It's a power generator.
For?
For electricity.
So I suppose you have a plan?
Yeah, we need lights.
Yeah, and do you have some lights?
Oh, I thought maybe we
can hook it up to the house.
Oh, now you're an electrician.
There has to be a way.
If you don't burn the
house down in the process.
Chicas, what do you
think the switch is for?
Connect cable below.
Start generator and click the switch.
Lupe, I think I got this.
Can you please find the outlet?
Gabriela, are you gonna
give me a hand or not?
Come on Gabriela, please?
All the way over there.
-Okay, pull harder.
-I am pulling.
Do you not see me pulling?
Oh, come here help please.
Lupe it's over here.
Okay, let's hope this works.
The good news, nothing blew up.
Bravo, Sammy.
Whoo!
Gabriela!
Is that Miguel?
He looks like you.
My twin brother.
I should have been with him
that night of that accident.
And then you would be dead.
I don't think so.
What do you mean?
He didn't die in that crash.
How do you know?
Well, my Uncle Juan told
me he found his backpack
far from the accident.
So?
So his body wasn't found in the car.
Laura, he walked away from that.
He spent all his free time
trying to figure out
what happened to Miguel.
Must have cost him his life.
You see this?
Listen to this.
Listen, I was talking to Senora Rodriguez
a couple of days ago.
She started telling me about the lake,
but Garza showed up out of nowhere.
After that, she wouldn't talk to me.
I went to her house a couple of times,
but she never answered the door.
Who's Garza?
Do you remember that
guy at the gas station
was named Garza?
What else does it say?
It's blank.
So what do you think
happened to your brother?
I don't know, but my
uncle was getting close.
Close enough to be dangerous?
Maybe.
Okay, I mean, it all
sounds a little bit strange.
There's gotta be some reason, no?
Why don't we look for some more lights on?
Okay?
What do you think Kiara
has been doing all this time?
Did you find her?
We have a little bit of a problem.
Oh my god, Kiara?
Is your drama going to
have an intermission soon?
We don't have much gas in the generator.
How much?
I'm guessing less than an hour.
What happens then?
We have one option, but it's not good.
We're gonna have to go
get some gas in town.
I'm not walking to town.
Ditto.
You guys wanna be in the dark all night?
She's right, somebody has to go.
I'll go, but I'm not going by myself.
It's only like two
kilometers to the gas station
and it's faster if we go by the lakes.
It's not that big of a deal.
But it was closed.
You have a better idea, Lupe?
Come with me.
Okay girls, so we all agree, right?
The shortest stick goes with Sam.
Isn't there another way?
Who wants to start first?
My guess is we'll find Kiara
in some type of dive bar in town.
But it's a holiday, remember?
Drinking never takes a holiday.
Okay, let's get it over with.
-Oh god.
-No.
Wait, I meant to pick that one.
Laura?
Come on, Laura.
Just get it over with.
Come on, Laura.
And that leaves me.
I'm not... I can't.
I don't have any hiking shoes.
Fair is fair, Lupe.
Was I talking to you?
Okay, we all agree, you have to go.
You have to go.
Come on, Lupe.
Let's go, we're running out of time.
You got the flashlight?
Yeah.
Leave your makeup here.
Come on.
What are you doing?
Sorry, did I just make things weird?
What the hell?
Open this door!
You don't want to wake the neighbors.
You forgot this.
Bye.
Where's Sam?
I don't know, she told me to stay here.
What are you doing here?
Well, Sam said she works better alone.
Liar.
Whatever
Girls, I mean, according to Sam,
if we don't have gas in about 45 minutes,
we're all gonna be in the dark.
At least she has a flashlight.
Oh, oops.
The whole thing happened pretty fast.
Let's see what else
we can find around here.
My, my, my, my
Inner peace gets interrupted by
So called agony in the things that I
Never try to hide
Tragedy
east of Bogota tonight
after a deadly car crash...
Your eyes, eyes, eyes
Had understanding
came and mesmerize, oh
Put me at ease then go and hit rewind
Stepping back again
Stepping back again
In the dark place from which you came
Where old habits are to blame
Are to blame
As if I could break that chain
Investigators
haven't yet to determine
the cause of the accident, but
haven't ruled out foul play.
Shadows of a past
Past
Pulls you back, pulls you back
Back
Inhibited all we could've had
From the day it began
Is there a connection
Shadows of a past
between Villa Eterna and missing children?
Past
Pulled you back under
Ugh, shit.
What the hell am I doing here?
You understand, Dad, right?
Wow, worse than moonshine? What?
Kiara, are you bored yet?
Kind of cold out here.
Come on.
Kiara.
Where are you?
It's kind of cold out here.
Come on Kiara.
It's so fucking stupid, man.
Is somebody there?
Oh, shit.
What is it?
Amazing grace
How sweet
The sound
That saved
A wretch
Like me...
I once
Was lost
But now
I'm found
Was blind
But now
I see
Gabriela breathe.
Kiara.
There's all blood man.
Gabriela, breathe.
Lock the doors, close the...
What's going on?
-Kiara...
-You're scaring me.
She was hanging.
-She's gone.
-What?
She's gone.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
You get these ropes off of me.
Hurry please.
You're the boy from the street.
Why are you tied up?
What happened to you?
Come on, let's go.
It's coming in quick.
-What's coming?
-Cachume.
It's coming.
There's gotta be a gun
hidden around here somewhere.
Did you see that carving
that old man had today?
No, why?
It looked like this sketch.
Focus Laura, okay, we need protection.
Okay, okay.
Maybe?
What the hell?
Is that Garza?
Might be.
Ooh, what is a Still Eclipse?
Sometimes Mars and Venus
line up with the Moon.
It happens every 11 years.
The Musca thought it was sacred.
When is gonna be the next one?
-Tonight?
-Shit.
Do you think this is real?
It's either real
or Uncle Juan is just
a first class nut job.
The cachume?
Let's hope.
We never find out.
Who tied you up?
Maybe the men who kidnapped me.
What?
They took me from my barrio.
Why?
They wanna sacrifice me to cachume.
Cachume?
That's just a legend.
I think that's your legend
So they used to have a lottery,
but after Miguel was sacrificed,
they started stealing kids
around barrios in Bogota.
To support the kids in Villa Eterna?
There were no kids left in the village.
But why?
It doesn't say.
I hope Sam gets back soon.
Anything else?
What is it, honey?
Tell me.
If you come with me,
maybe it'll eat you too.
Not tonight.
I think, I know a place
where we'll be safe.
Back in the town.
I can't leave the others.
Come on, Sam.
And you think this will stop Cachume?
Hopefully, we won't need this.
But if the legend is real,
the demon doesn't like lights.
Is there
anything else we can do?
Three hail Marys, and a shot of tequila.
Where is she?
Probably dead in the street somewhere.
You better hope you're wrong, okay?
This way, this way.
Let's get into the house now.
Come on Sam!
Start the generator!
Hurry!
Lock the door!
Do Something!
Was that?
The Cachume.
Do you think guys,
it's safe to go outside?
As long as these lights are on,
we should be okay.
Guys, bring your lights, grab a knife
and take the boy with.
I want you to go with the girls, okay?
I need to talk with your new friend.
You're okay.
Where did you find him?
At the lake all tied up.
He has to go.
-Are you kidding?
-No, no, no.
That thing is pissed.
What do you know about that boy?
He was being sacrificed, Gabriela.
Exactly, you took
something that wasn't yours.
Now the demon is hungry.
We have enough gas until
morning and then we...
What about all the people in town?
What about them?
Somebody killed Kiara.
Wait, wait, what?
Was it the demon?
I don't think so.
She was hanging from a tree.
You okay?
Where?
Doesn't matter.
This is bigger than us.
But Felipe was just
left there for that demon.
It's not gonna stop until it gets him.
Maybe it won't stop at all.
Meaning?
What makes you think
it'll stop with the boy?
It's the boy or us.
He stays.
We found some more
letters from your uncle.
Did he say anything about Miguel?
Your uncle thinks Garza
has something to do with it.
Oh,
and we found this.
Senor Fuzzy.
Whoa... that looks like some spy shit.
Ya think.
My phone doesn't have
a memory card holder.
Does anybody have an Android?
I got this.
Thanks.
My dear
Sammy, if you found this
it is because I'm dead.
I talked to Garza today.
I accused him of kidnapping
Miguel for the sacrifice.
When I threatened to
go to the authorities,
He just laughed at me and
said nobody would believe me.
I am packing right now and leaving.
If I don't see you
again, you will know why.
Don't trust anyone in this town.
It's full of dark secrets.
Sell the house and never return.
Love, Uncle Juan.
I'm sorry.
I know I'm going to die, too.
They got Miguel.
Nobody's going to touch you.
Is there enough gas
to keep the lights on?
It's going to be close.
What if the Cachume doesn't leave?
What chance do we have?
What are you doing?
Improving our odds.
Where are you going?
Bingo.
Felipe, why don't you
go look around the house,
see if you can find some type of weapon.
Okay.
We already have some.
Maybe you could help him.
Laura, I need some
baking powder and sugar.
Laura, I need some
baking powder and sugar.
Right there in the pantry.
You got it?
I don't get it Sam.
Once I mix these ingredients together,
we have to cook them into a paste.
But sugar and baking powder?
Stabilizing compounds.
I'll give you lessons later.
Right now, can we just get going please?
And this?
Let's hope we don't have to use that.
Shit, where's the flashlight?
-Come on Sam, look around.
-On it.
Keep looking.
Do something, Laura!
Come on, come on.
Don't go.
He's right, it's too late.
Where's the gas?
Oh god.
Come in, come in, come on.
Come on.
The gas can is gone.
We need to get out of here.
-That thing.
-No, we can outrun it.
No, Felipe can't keep up.
Well, it's the only way.
I'll take my chances here, Gabriela.
Can you help me?
Are you sure you wanna do this?
Okay, when we give the signal, you run.
You don't look back.
And bring back help.
Is she ready?
This should be interesting.
Bohica!
Go away!
Oh shit.
Did you hear that?
Felipe no.
What are you doing?
We might need those later.
I am gonna trust you with this one.
Let me see here.
Okay. That should hold it.
What time is it?
4:45.
Did you lock the door
when Gabriela left?
Now what?
Careful, Sam.
Sam, do you see him?
Ow, ow.
What's he doing?
Sam.
-You ready?
-Okay.
Sam!
I can't.
Don't leave me.
What can I do?
Help me Sam.
Sam.
Sam!
Felipe, come on!
There must be someplace.
Cachume!
Come on.
Sam, look!
Go!
So far so good.
You okay?
Is anyone else left?
We've been looking all over for you.
He's fine.
We're just gonna go get some breakfast.
-But...
-Thank you for watching him.
We'll take care of him now.
Your uncle didn't know when to stop.
It appears you have the same problem.
Now...
be a good girl
and return the child you kidnapped.
I swear his parents won't press charges.
You're kidding, right?
I can assure you, I'm serious.
This town...
Our lives...
Surely you can understand.
Time without end.
Time without end.
But the Cachume is dead.
That was just a messenger.
The eternal one will return tonight.
Give us the boy.
I wish I could.
That's just not going to work right now.
Run.
Oh my god, this way.
Laura?
Felipe!
Go! Go!
Where? How?
Don't ask.
You're alive.
But what if they follow us?
Not gonna happen.
This is great.
It's big, huh?
-Uh huh.
-I know.
Let's up there.
This place is so cool.
I know, right?
You wanna get something to feed the ducks?
I don't know about that.
All right, all right,
it's a joke, come on.
Not funny.
We are gonna have to go
get you some swim lessons.
Okay.
Like a bird.
Woo!
-Woo!
