"BASED ON A TRUE STORY" "Everything I loved in life ended." "And then life itself." "Hello?" "Omar?" "Come here, please." "I'm on the highway, I ran over a kid." "He's not dead, he's not dead." "Answer me, where are you?" "What's your name?" "Catalina, don't take the car." "It needs to be checked." "Really?" "Yes." "On top of everything else I have to do." "It's almost 12 o'clock, by the way." "Your sister should be here by now." "What's wrong?" "What's the matter?" "Catalina, breathe!" "Where are you going?" "Agata!" "Agata!" "Sister!" "No, let me go!" "Catalina!" "Let me go!" "No, look at her!" "Look at her!" "No!" "This side." "The heart stopped, help me." "No!" "Agata!" "No, Agata!" "Emergency room." "You can't go through." "You can't go through." "26 years old." "25.75." "25.75!" "Quickly!" "Vital signs?" "Breathing: 12." "Ready." "Pulse: 60." "Impossible." "We have to amputate." "I got her." "The saw." "kilometer 31" "Relatives of Miss Hameran?" "I'm her sister, doctor." "Catalina." "My name is Doctor Morales." "Sit down, please." "No." "How is my sister?" "Stable." "Thankfully she's out of danger." "But regretfully we amputated both her legs to save her." "I'm sorry." "There's something else to attend right now." "Your sister went into a coma." "She's not reacting at all." "Can I see her?" "Of course, Miss." "But your sister's face is very inflamed and her body is..." "Well, just be prepared." "I'm sorry, young man." "Family members only." "Little sister." "Help me, help me." "Help me." "Miss?" "Miss?" "... on earth as it is in Heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread." "And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." "Amen." "Miss?" "You need to rest, miss." "And the kid?" "What kid?" "The kid my sister ran over." "We haven't treated any kids here." "Go back home." "If anything changes we'll let you know." "Here." "They'll help you sleep." "Never leave me." "Never forget me." "Wait for me forever." "Forgive me, my child, I didn't know what I was doing." "I never thought that of you, never." "Don't cry, I'm okay." "I'm here." "How is she?" "Bad." "Anything else?" "Nothing." "We have to wait." "I want to see her." "You can't go in." "I'll be here, if anything happens I'll tell you." "I need to go in and see her." "I told my partner I'm going away for a few days." "You can stay at my house if you want." "It's closer, so you don't have to take the highway." "Thanks." "Relax." "Your sister will wake up." "I will stay at Omar's house a few days." "It's closer." "Okay." "Nuno, come with me to get Catalina's things." "Yeah, sure." "Let's go." "Catalina?" "Yeah, I heard." "Thanks, I'll wait for you here." "Omar, I'm here if you need anything." "Agata always treated me well, you know." "Thanks, Nuno." "Catalina has been important in my life since I got to Mexico." "Since university." "Yeah." "Agata told me." "She's been a good friend." "I really love her." "I can tell." "I can tell you love her." "You told her?" "That I love her?" "I show it to her." "I told her." "What the fuck are you talking about?" "Once I had a fight with Agata and I went to her house to ask for forgiveness and I mistook her for Catalina." "What do you expect?" "They're identical." "Sorry, they're very different." "I want to go to the highway." "Can you go and get her things?" "Okay, I'll wait inside." "DRY firewood FOR SALE" "Hello?" "Hey, what are you doing?" "Didn't you hear me?" "I'm talking to you." "Fucking hell." "I'm coming!" "Did you lose something?" "No." "My girlfriend had an accident and I checked if there was anything left here." "Sure?" "Sure about what?" "Sure you're not looking for someone?" "How do you know?" "Don't search, it was an accident." "I'm in charge of the investigation." "You're investigating?" "You could say that." ""Could say that"." "Don't get involved in problems." "Don't investigate on your own." "Problems?" "Why problems?" "Do you have a car or shall I take you?" "I just heard someone hiding back there." "Just now?" "Yes." "What's your name?" "Omar." "Look, Omar..." "Just concentrate on helping your girlfriend." "I told you I heard something." "No." "Why?" "Let me explain to you." "Don't explain to me." "Let me go." "I'm talking, friend." "You know what?" "Tell me your name and license plate number." "Martiin Ugalde, 02034." "Martiin what?" "Look." "For your own good, don't come around here again." "Are you threatening me?" "We're now filming." "Agata and Catalina's birthday, June 2004." "Here's sister number one, look how beautiful she is." "Thank you, sweetheart." "And here is..." "There she is, sister number two." "Take a good look at her, identical." "Identical, identical." "They're talking to Nuno." "Her dear friend." "Chorizo." "Well after a couple of hours, we're still here at the party and as we can see, everyone is drinking." "The two sisters  drinking hard." "And  fighing, like always." "Mommy!" "Don't leave." "I'm sorry." "I love you." "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "Don't let her go!" "." "Mommy!" "." "Sister!" "." "Sister!" "." "Help me!" "Help me!" "Why did you leave the door opened?" "Sorry." "I thought you'd seen me." "Where were you?" "What are you taking?" "My pills." "What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" "No." "Why?" "What do you want me to say?" "Okay." "Calm down, I didn't say anything." "Here's the suitcase and I've bought something to eat." "There." "Nuno." "Thanks." "I know you're trying, but at the end, I have to do this on my own." "Yes." "I understand." "I understand you but you're not alone." "The doctor told us to talk." "It could be good for you." "I have so many things to say to you." "I dreamt about Mom." "She and Dad got along better with you." "We're equal, but you're better at everything." "That's why they prefer you." "And I don't like to admit it, but I'd get so angry seeing you happy." "I got angry that Dad trusted you more." "But I love you." "I love you more than I love myself." "Agata!" "Agata!" "Agata, can you hear me?" "Agata, it's me, Catalina!" "Somebody help me, please." "My sister woke up." "It's okay, miss." "Apparatus, nurses." "She moved a finger and she opened her eyes." "Sorry I didn't warn you before, Miss but this normally happens with comatose patients." "They are electric shocks that circulate in the nervous system." "No." "She saw me." "Please, believe me, Miss." "We haven't registered any measurements and the apparatus don't lie." "How are you?" "How's Agata?" "The same?" "They've stopped the hemorrhage." "She's still in a coma." "We have to be patient, wait a few days." "Nuno, can you take me to the highway after we eat?" "Yes, of course." "To your house?" "No." "To the scene of the accident." "What for?" "Agata ran over a kid." "Where's that kid?" "Catalina, there is no kid." "And there's nothing on the highway." "I need to go." "I need to go to the scene." "I can't explain to you." "Get something to eat." "I'll catch you up and we'll go to the highway." "Omar?" "Don't get them mixed up again." "Why do you say that?" "You know why." "Are you serious?" "Everything okay?" "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "You know it's incredible that after such a long time there is so little I know about you." "What are you talking about?" "I know a few things, but when I ask you about yourself, things that are important, I don't know, it's like you shut me out." "For example, I don't know what happened with your parents." "I don't have a family." "That's always your answer." "But why don't you just..." "..." "let it go?" "I don't like talking about it." "I don't understand you." "No matter how hard I try, I don't understand you." "I can't do it anymore." "My Dad died in an accident." "A work accident." "On a construction site." "And my Mom was sick." "She was schizophrenic." "She couldn't remember which pills to take, and my dad would get Agata to remind her." "He always trusted her more." "I don't know why." "I felt jealous." "I gave that bottle to my mom." "It's my fault she took too many pills and she drowned." "Agata and I got her out of there." "We tried to revive her." "We were seven years old." "I'm sorry." "I didn't know." "I'm okay." "Don't say anything to Omar." "Omar do you prefer Nuno to drive?" "You've hardly slept." "What's up with you two?" "Nothing." "We're nearly there." "Yes, I know." "When you get to km 30, slow down." "I know." "I do understand your language." "Nuno, it's a suggestion." "A suggestion." "Fuck that." "Why did you say that?" "Calm down, asshole, calm down." "Don't speak to me like that." "You're an idiot, like earlier." "What are you talking about?" "What's up with you?" "Sorry, this fog is making me nervous." "Fucking nervous Spaniard." "What?" "I said "Fucking nervous Spaniard"." "I heard that, but calm down, okay?" "Calm down!" "Watch out, Nuno!" "Yes, Miss, this is an emergency." "A person's died in the Desierto de los Leones." "Yes, hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Yes?" "Omar, Omar Cantu." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "I'm..." "What's the matter?" "I talk to you, what's wrong?" "Omar, I saw a kid." "It's over there, I swear." "You feeling better?" "Nuno..." "I'll go." "It's okay, your friends can come and pick you up." "I wasn't my fault." "Calm down." "Nuno." "Stay calm, you're not under arrest." "I'll come and get you." "You'll make a statement at the station." "Yes but don't touch me, okay?" "Calm down!" "Tomorrow you'll be with your friends." "Nuno!" "Leave him, leave him." "Won't you tell me what happened?" "I heard a woman in the street." "Last night, too." "I thought it was Agata." "Afterwards, she was shouting and crying in a sewer inside the drain." "Why do you take those pills?" "Why do you ask?" "Because they affect you." "No." "It's the opposite." "Were you prescribed?" "That doesn't matter." "I'm not going to take them, calm down." "I won't if you go back to the house or that highway." "Sorry." "I need to talk to you." "What about?" "What's the matter?" "It's just that I can't stop thinking about her voice asking me for help." "When she called me, I heard everything." "The sound of the horn the tires bursting, the bashes." "That night we had a fight." "Surely..." "I wasn't your fault." "I told her I wasn't sure if I loved her." "I felt pressured." "Do you remember when I started dating her?" "I got to your house, I asked for forgiveness." "I begged you for 10 minutes." "And you stayed silent." "You just played along." "I could never tell her the same as I did to you." "I could never tell her I loved her that I need her, that I love her." "She knows, Omar." "She knows." "I'm sure of it because I know it, too." "And you're going to tell her when she wakes up." "You're identical." "Sometimes I'd like to imagine you're her." "Nuno was right." "We can get you mixed up." "Look Nuno and I don't get along well." "But he has a big heart." "And he loves you." "What's up, Nacho?" "How are you?" "Garciia Castro Mariia Concepcin has identification." "This is the morgue report, I spoke to the doctor." "She has been dead for around 23 hours." "She's been for almost a day." "The guy didn't kill her." "He was there about 6 or 7 hours ago." "He ran over a dead girl." "Poor guy." "He was so worried." "Let the poor guy go." "Did you report me?" "I knew." "What are you doing here?" ""An accident at kilometer 31... ..on the Desierto de los Leones highway"." "Again?" "Didn't I tell you not to investigate?" "How's your friend?" "In a coma." "Oh, kid." "Remember what I told you on the highway?" "Yes." "We've searched for that kid." "I've personally been searching for him for 3 years." "There have been incidents the majority of which were related to young women." "They came in scared, badly hurt." "Sometimes they were reported dead." "They try to keep people from finding out." "They'd called them incompetent, you know." "That's why I keep all this under wraps." "Well, that and because it's hard to believe." "So why were there so many accidents?" "Do you believe in ghosts?" "Ghosts?" "That's absurd." "I can only offer you proof." "You can make your own conclusions." "Do you want to know or not?" "Please sign here." "Do you have a Biro?" "A pen, sorry." "Here." "Catalina?" "Nuno, how are you?" "Better, better." "I'm just about to leave." "Apparently I didn't kill her." "She'd already been dead several hours." "Several hours?" "But I saw her stood in the middle of the road." "Yes, I know." "I can't forget it either." "Something weird's happening, Nuno." "I can't stay like this." "What do you want to do?" "Let's go there while it's daytime." "Maybe it's a kid who lives near there." "Catalina, I really don't think we should go." "Make something up so Omar lends you his car." "But don't tell him where we're going." "Catalina?" "Did you see the notice?" "Which one?" "The one back there." "For dry firewood?" "Yes." "Do you think "El Encanto" could be a town?" "I don't know." "Why?" "Because it's that way." "Let's go." "What shall we do?" "Shall we knock?" "Come in, child." "I was expecting you." "Who is it?" "Omar." "Omar Cantu." "Afternoon." "Come in." "How are you, officer?" "Martiin." "Or Ugalde, whichever you prefer." "Ugalde." "These are my darlings." "Do you like fish?" "You're right." "Let's get to the point." "Come through here." "You've met my darlings." "Now let me introduce you to my obsession." "GHOST girl!" "Coffee?" "Why did you say you expected me?" "I know who you are." "I know you have many questions to ask." "I also know why you came here." "Your answer is in a tragedy that occurred many years ago and that now concerns you and your sister." "My sister?" "I told you." "It's not a coincidence you're here." "These are the only cases I could find from before 2001." "But when I did the first inquiry 25 cases." "But you were saying about a tragedy." "This happened many years ago in the colonial times, in a town near Mexico City." "In that town there was a young woman of impressive beauty who a Spanish serviceman fell in love with and cheated on using her to inbreed the children his wife couldn't have." "When she found out, the young woman went mad with anger and she threw herself into the river with her child dragging him behind her to their death." "Since then, the souls of the woman and child have been condemned to wander by the rivers." "Mainly young women are found with them." "The mother's pain is heard as she cries out for her dead son." "Some live to tell the tale others don't." "If this was true, there would be there would be ghosts everywhere!" "Maybe not everywhere, but take a look at this." "I heard that woman." "Where?" "In Riio Mixcoac." "Shouting and grumbling like you described." "Did you see the kid, too?" "Do you have more information about the woman in Mixcoac?" "Yes, actually, several cases." ""February 19th, 1999, Avenida Riio Mixcoac:" "High school students reported having heard a woman trapped in the drains"." "Why the curiosity about Mixcoac?" "I live near there and my sister in-law told me she heard a woman around there." "I didn't understand but now..." "But now you believe me, right?" "Here I have a map." "Look your sister suffers pain that doesn't correspond to her." "There's nothing that can help her." "Neither prayers, nor sacrifices, nothing." "But maybe your sister could help." "How?" "She's trapped between the two worlds but you have the bond with your sister." "So you too can see the other world and bring it to you and to those around you." "What worlds?" "The world of the living..." "...and the world of the dead." "Excuse me, but from what I know, it hasn't been proven that ghosts exist." "But there are people who say they've seen them." "Do you think they're lying?" "No." "Not necessarily." "Only a sensitive and noble spirit is capable of hearing and seeing a soul in pain." "But be careful." "There are spirits that can transform what you see and they could help you." "But they could also trick you just like any person can." "But it's dark now and I don't want you to be in any danger." "Catalina, you can stay in the bedroom." "And you, Nuno, you can sleep by the chimney." "We're not staying, are we?" "She looks really trustworthy." "lt was a good story, but..." "...do you really believe it?" "I heard that woman." "Catalina..." "It's true, Nuno." "Agata is stuck in that world." "I can feel it." "She's telling me." "I dream about that." "Catalina?" "Catalina?" "This can't be." "No, this can't be!" "Catalina, this is Omar, call me, this is urgent." "I met somebody who..." "Well, you're right." "We have to find that woman." "In the drainage in Riio Mixcoac." "There's an opening near my house, call me, please." "Sorry I didn't believe you." "Catalina?" "Nuno?" "Hey it's dangerous here." "Here." "I'll go back in my car." "Catalina!" "...the Lord is with thee." "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." "Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death." "Amen." "Hail Mary, Full of Grace." "The Lord is with thee..." "Mystic Rose, pray for them." "Tower of David, pray for them." "Ivory Tower, pray for them." "Golden House, pray for them." "Ark of the Covenant, pray for them." "Gates of Heaven, pray for them." "Nuno?" "What?" "That day..." "You haven't slept, have you?" "I'll sleep later." "Good morning, guys." "I'll make you some coffee." "Thanks, but we're going now." "It's no bother." "I'm always alone." "Here, you dropped it." "Thanks." "I didn't hear you go out." "You stayed awake, right?" "You're right in not wanting to sleep." "When you sleep you're more sensitive, more open." "Maybe it'll help to be close to your sister." "Ask her advice." "Sleep, and she will guide us." "Maybe you have to go back and meet that woman or her spirit." "Look further than your eyes let you see." "Sorry, ma'am, but..." "...what are you talking about?" "You have to be strong." "Help us, even if you don't understand." "Take care." "Fight." "Defend yourself." "What are you doing?" "Looking at things Omar left." "Where did he get all this from?" "I don't know." "But I think I understand now." "Shall I help you?" "Didn't you want to see your sister?" "Nuno thanks for everything." "I thought about lots of things and and I thought about all these years." "And..." "..." "I don't know." "No." "Let me tell you..." "Catalina." "Not now." "This isn't the time, you're under a lot of pressure." "It's not a good time." "Okay." "Look." "Look at this old map." "The lady said it happened in the colonial times." "I compared it with an updated map." "Come on." "Look how small it was, the size of the central square." "The old town of Coyoacan was here which is now the current area of Coyoacan you know." "This is where the river is." "Look at the new map." "It goes straight down what is now this avenue, Mixcoac." "Of course." "Riio Mixcoac." "And this river crosses the Desierto de los Leones." "They cross almost the same points." "Maybe the lady was right about what she said about looking further than your eyes let you." "ELDERLY LADY TAKES HER OWN life" "What?" "Did you see something?" "No." "I'm going to see my sister." "Shall I come with you?" "Catalina?" "Omar?" "Omar, what's happened to you?" "Omar, what's happened?" "Omar, you're scaring me, answer me, please!" "Omar!" "What happened, Omar?" "What happened to you, Omar?" "Answer me!" "Where are we going?" "Omar?" "Omar, answer me, goddamnit!" "Answer me!" "Where are we going, Omar?" "What are we doing here?" "Yes." "I'm calling to report a dead person." "Kilometer 31, Desierto de los Leones Highway." "No, I don't want to leave my name." "Message received today:" "Catalina, this is Omar, call me, this is urgent." "I met somebody who..." "Well, you're right." "We have to find that woman." "In the drainage in Rio Mixcoac." "There's an opening near my house." "I come to find you on the highway." "Call me, please." "They won't beat me." "You won't beat me, you won't beat me." "I can't..." "I can't do this, I can't do this anymore." "I'm not frightened." "I'm not frightened." "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not in my mind." "Agata's with me." "I'll help her." "She needs me." "We're not different." "We're the same." "We are one." "Frighteningly equal." "I'm not in my mind." "Shit!" "Taxi!" "To the Desierto de los Leones highway." "Affirmative, it's kilometer 31." "Desierto de los Leones highway." "Affirming 84, highway 76." "20, over." "What happened?" "He was run over last night." "Last night?" "Where did you find him?" "Over there, next to the shoulder, in the bushes." "Did you see a young woman here?" "Woman?" "No." "Please go away." "Excuse me, officer." "What is the name of the victim?" "Omar Cantu." "Excuse me." "Do you know who Omar is?" "Yes, I knew him." "Who are you?" "I'm..." "We were friends." "Of course, the one from the station." "I'm Martiin Ugalde." "I was with Omar yesterday." "I showed him some files." "Files?" "I saw them, too." "There's something strange." "The river still exists, just like the lady said." "What are you talking about?" "An elderly lady who lives in an old house near here." "Show me." "I don't have time now." "I have to look for a friend." "You can do that later." "This can't be true." "It's here, isn't it?" "An elderly woman lived here." "But she committed suicide on the highway." "That happened in the 1940s." "She told Catalina to look..." "Help me find her, please." "Catalina's sure she can communicate with her sister it's something they've always done." "The lady said something about asking for help." "And do you know exactly where in Mixcoac?" "Yes." "Well, more or less." "Omar marked it in a map." "It's near her house." "Of course, I marked that map." "Sleep." "Sleep." "Sleep." "Why did you do this to me, child?" "I'm not crazy." "Calm down." "Mommy's here." "Calm down." "Why did you do it to me?" "No, child." "It must be around here." "There's the car!" "There!" "Don't move." "Miss!" "Officer!" "Catalina!" "Hello, child." "We're here now." "I came to help, my child." "It's the only way to end this." "And to help your sister." "Are you ready to sacrifice yourself for her?" "I tried." "I sacrificed myself for him." "But it didn't work." "It didn't work because the kid didn't die where the highway is now." "The river took him away." "But they died here." "My sacrifice should have been done here." "I now that know thanks to you and to your sister." "Who are you?" "My kid." "Leave Agata alone." "Where's my kid?" "I know where he is." "But leave my sister in peace." "Don't leave me here, child." "Don't be afraid." "I've been expecting you." "I'm sorry, Mom." "There's nothing to be sorry about." "Come, child..." "Don't worry." "Don't be afraid." "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry." "My child all this will be over soon." "Catalina!" "Catalina!" "It's me, Nuno!" "It's okay." "I'll never leave you." "Never, never." "It's over, it's over." "Calm down." "What's wrong?" "Where are we?" "In the sewers." "What's wrong?" "What's the matter?" "Nuno, why are you looking at me like that?" "Who are you?" "It's me." "Catalina." "You're not Catalina!" "Catalina?" "Catalina?" "Drop your weapon!" "Drop it!" "Now!" "Nuno." "What's wrong with you?" "You have to do it." "Nuno!" "It's the only way." "You have to finish it." "Nuno!" "Put the weapon down!" "Nuno." "Catalina..." "Everything I loved in life ended." "And then life itself." "What's happened?" "Hey..." "Hey..." "Hey..." "Where am I?" "Calm down." "You're in a hospital." "What happened?" "Where's Catalina?" "It's a good thing you're here." "He woke up in the early hours with changes." "I gave him 15mg of Diazepam during the night." "Has he calmed down?" "Where's Catalina?" "Catalina is dead." "You killed her." "Don't you remember?" "What are you saying?" "lt can't be true." "What did you see?" "Who did you see?" "I have to see her!" "What's this?" "It's for your safety." "Until you get better." "You're going to need help." "I have to see Catalina." "Untie me." "I said untie me!" "Where's Catalina?" "Untie me!" "Thank you." "Agata." "Miss Hameran?" "Hello, Agata." "Where am I?" "In a hospital." "Don't strain yourself your memory will come back slowly." "Where is he?" "Where's my child?" "What child?" "My child." "My child." "You don't have any children, Miss." "Where's my child?" "Don't get upset." "Don't get upset." "Where's my child?" "Nurse!" "Where's my child?" "Nurse!" "Where's my child?"
