"THE MIND IS LIKE A LABYRINTH" "IN WHICH ANYONE CAN GET LOST" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "WARNING NATIONAL POLICE DEPARTMENT" "Our friend David has kindly agreed to lend us his camera." "How many batteries did you put in?" "Three 4-hour batteries." "Oh, shit!" "Shit!" "Give me that." "I don't want my dad to take it off me again." "Hello, I'm Cristian, this is my sister July, and that's my friend David." "As you know, we investigate urban legends." "But this time we've decided..." "We didn't have much choice." "Well, our parents are making us spend the Easter holidays at a country house we have in Sitges." "This is a photo of the house." "It's been abandoned for ten years." "And it's going to be so boring." "As we won't do our report about "The Girl on the Road"," "I've been researching an urban legend in Sitges and El Garraf, and legend has it that on the 2nd of October 1940, a girl in a red dress got lost in the Garraf woods, and people say that if you get lost in the Garraf woods at night," "the girl appears and shows you the way." "You call that research?" "Go home, man." "What was her name?" "The girl was called Melinda." "And when exactly does this get scary?" "This guy is an idiot." "We can't use this now." "Do you think it's normal?" "It's not normal, is it?" "This is the last time." "Is that clear?" "July!" "MARCH 30, 2010 Day 1" "Dad's taking a while, isn't he?" "Robin..." "Hey, how's it going, buddy?" "How about a bit of decent music?" "Cristian, turn it down." "Okay." "Tasty, huh?" "I can smell the sea already." "You're so useless." "And you're an idiot." "Only three more curves." "There it is." "At last." "Thank God, we're finally here." "We're here, Robin." "We've arrived." "Come down." "I'll take this." "It's a bit hard to open." "What do you think?" "With a fireplace and everything, I remember now." "Yes, this is the kitchen." "This is from the Dark Ages." " Do you like it?" " It's not bad." "Go on up, I can't see." "Damn!" "What's this?" "Photos of God knows who." "That's your real grandfather." " Go on." " Keep moving!" "It's a bit spooky." "Mind your head." "This is where we used to sleep." " See that?" " That's an awful picture." "Your girl." "José, let's see how tall you are." "Come over here." "Stand here." "He's taller than I was at six." "That's what I was telling you about." "What?" "Oh, yeah, that's creepy." "Is that part ours, too?" "I don't know." "My turn?" "The sandwiches." "Cristian, don't put them there." "Sorry." "Coming through." "Thanks." "Dad." "What?" "Where are my old toys?" "Your old toys are in the basement." "The door on the left of the kitchen?" "That's the one." " July." " Yeah, hold on." "And who has the key?" "Carlos." "Who's that?" "A friend of mine." "He fixed up the whole house." "Okay, Cristian, tomorrow." "Stay out of this." "Cristian, take the dog out." "Hey, I bet your boyfriend, the gnome, would love this house." "No, but seriously..." "Bring David's camera tomorrow, okay?" " Why?" " To film that gate." "Okay." " Okay?" " Yes, yes." "You didn't put my blue bag in." "Good night, Mom." "MARCH 31, 2010 Day 2" "Are you talking to me?" "Because I'm the only one here." "You're dead." "You're dead, Tarantino." "You big girl, looking at yourself in the mirror!" " You got the camera?" " Yes." "Then let's start recording." "What is it?" "I'm dizzy!" "July!" "July!" "Where are you going?" "Just over here." "Okay." "Don't get lost." "We won't." "Hold this." "You're going to bust it." "Hey, it's a labyrinth." "Pretty cool, huh?" "It's awesome." "Hey, you, where are you running off to?" "Don't follow me." "You go that way." "Okay, good luck." "Thanks." "This must be really spooky at night, my God." "What a mess." "Please!" "My God, look at this place!" "I bet she's got lost." "July!" "July!" "I gotta find her." "July!" "Where are you?" "Damn it." "This isn't right either." "Fucking hell." "Cristian!" "Hey, Cristian!" "Shit!" "Cristian!" "You idiot!" "Get out!" "Cristian!" "Shit!" "This sucks!" "How the hell did I end up in this bamboo?" "It's prickly!" "Shit!" "There's no way through here." "This shit is really prickly." "This is fucked up, man!" "Cristian." "Damn, girl!" "What are you doing?" "You're lost, huh?" "This is a mess." "Okay, let's do something." "Let's stick together." " Come on." " Okay, you first." "Fucking branches." "Who is it?" "She's such a pain." "It's Mom." "Hello, Mom." "No, we're not lost." "Tell her to hang up." "We're making a video, and we're not lost, okay?" "Okay, we're coming." "Okay, bye." " Keep walking." " She's a pain." " Look at that." " What is it?" "It's like a kiosk or something." "It's a dome." "Well, a kiosk with a dome." "It also looks like an altar." "Maybe you could marry your boyfriend there?" "July, do you take the gnome to be your husband?" "I do." "Gnome, do you take July to be your wife?" "I do." "You may now kiss her leg and live happily ever after." "Hey, Dad, that labyrinth is huge." "Your mother knew it well when she was little." "I didn't know that." "I don't want you wandering around out there." "So what can I film?" "Trees and flowers?" "I said I don't want you to go out there." "Okay, take it easy." "If the man wants us to film inside, we'll film inside..." "You may film inside, got it?" "Robin!" "Look." "Come on, boy." "Here." "Take it away." "Go on." "Cristian, you're supposed to chop it." "Chop it." "I'm doing it, okay?" "Very good." "What do you say now, huh?" "Hey, wake up, dopey." "I'm beat." "There's nothing to do here." "There's a car coming." "This must be Dad's friend." "Check out his cool ride!" "What's up, kids?" "Hey, how's it going?" "You must be my dad's friend." "You don't remember me?" "Uh..." "No." "I remember you." "You're Cristian." "And you're July, right?" "Look at her with her camera." "Are your folks home?" "Yes, they're up at the house." "Come on, Santiago, let's show these kids what we're made of." "Take that!" "Look at this, kid." "Check it out." "There!" "Pass it back." "Okay, Cristian, let's see what you can do." "Hugo Sánchez!" "My God." "Shit!" " That hurt!" " Do another one." " I can't." "Substitution!" " Look at you." "We want to ask you something." "Do you know the legend of the girl who got lost here?" "The story of Melinda?" "Everyone knows it." "Yes, that's the one." " Well, you know it, right?" " No." " Sure you do." " Tell us the whole thing." "Please tell it." "Your father must have told it to you." " No." " No." "Please give us some details." "Hey, July, can I just ask..." " You sit there?" " Yes." "Should I talk to him, or do I look at you?" "Don't worry about that, we're professionals." "Film this." "It's a battle scar." "I was fixing a roof this morning and I banged it." "Look over here, Carlos." "Okay." "Yes, I think that's okay." "Hello, Carlos." "First of all, thanks for taking the time to talk to us." "Tell us what you know about the legend of the girl." "The story of the girl?" "That's a very old story." "Parents tell it to their children." "My father told it to me." "She's called Melinda." "People say it's the ghost of a girl, a girl who got lost, or fell down a well or something, but her body was never recovered." "Others say it's the devil trying to trick you, but, basically..." "If you're lost and alone at nightfall, she appears and shows you the way." "But you've never seen her?" "No." "There are many different versions to the story." "Some say that you should never turn your back to her." "Others say she went looking for her mother and she got lost, and when you hear her moaning in the distance, she's behind you." "People who claim to have seen her say they'll never forget the sound." "So she's evil then?" "I thought she was nice, because she shows you the way." "As I said, Cristian, there are many versions of the story." "I don't think it's the spirit of a girl." "I don't believe in ghosts." "What I do know is that my dad made me swear never to go in the woods around Garraf." "And I've kept my promise." "Okay, thanks very much, Carlos." "I'll be going now, okay?" "What is it?" "Don't worry about that now." "Wait here a minute." "Where are you going?" "To wake July." "Why?" "So she hears the noise." " What noise?" " What noise?" "For God's sake." "July." "July." " July." " What?" "Wake up." "July." "What?" "Can you hear that noise?" "What noise?" "That noise." " Wake up." " Shit." "Come here a moment, otherwise you'll think I'm crazy." "You are crazy." "Go over to the window." "Cristian, I can't hear anything." "You have to be quiet." "There's nothing to hear." " July." " What?" "What if it's the girl?" "Cristian, you believe everything you hear." "Leave me alone." "APRIL 01, 2010 Day 3" " Hey, Mom..." " Yes?" "Where's Dad?" "At the office." " In Madrid?" " Yes." "I thought he was on vacation." "He is, but they needed him for something." "I think he'll be back tomorrow." "Oh, okay." "The basement key." "We're going to the basement." "Hurry up." "Hold on, it's the wrong key." "Come on, or mom will see us." "Okay, hold on." "It's really stiff." "There we go." "Good." "Look at this!" "The Virgin." "That's better." "I can't believe this place." "It's so creepy." "Give it a push." "Oh, shit!" "There is a light after all." " Cool." " Okay, good." "So what have we got here?" "A telephone." "And what's this?" "A bone for the dog, or something?" "Oh, that's cool!" "This is my old skateboard." "That was yours?" "Yeah." "It's fucked." " Careful, you're going to..." " No, I won't." "Look, there's even a TV." "That's cool." "We can watch it later." " What's that?" " Awesome." "Was that your doll?" "No." "It gives me the creeps." "No, it was Mom's." "It was Mom's when she was little." "I didn't have those." "So creepy!" "What's that?" "I don't know, but it's fucking scary." "Look at the sofa!" " Hey, look." " What?" "Hey, it's a photo of us." "Where was that taken?" "That's cool." "You should keep that." "What's this?" "Lots of mirrors." "I don't think it will break." "There are some boxes here." "Let's see what's inside." "Check this out." "Let me see." "What is it?" "It's Mum's writing." ""When my light goes..."" "No, don't read it..." "It's boring." "What's that?" "There are some films here." "Films?" "What are they?" "Put them under the light." "Shit, these are really old." "Bruce Lee..." "Put that aside." "This is amazing, isn't it?" "I'll see if it works." "Hold this." "Oh, gross!" "This thing stinks." "Fuck." "Any luck?" "No." "I'll go and get a cable later and see if I can get it working." "I think it just needs a cable." " Step aside!" " What?" "Look a VCR!" "Fucking awesome!" "Let's find a cable for that TV." "The thing is dead, man." "Groovy." " You hear that?" " Yes." " It wasn't the TV, was it?" " No, it was upstairs." "Mom?" "Hey, José, there's a broken glass." "Stay back." "No, Cristian, I don't want to." "Then why did we bring the camera?" "Because you wanted to." "Stay here if you like, I'm going into the labyrinth." "There's nothing to film there." "Don't shout, you'll wake her up." "I'm taking the camera." "You do what you want." "July!" "Wait!" " What now?" " José, don't follow us." "Why don't you go play with Robin?" "Go!" "That kid is such a pain." "What does he want?" "He wants to come with us." "Wait, Cristian." "Today, we stick together, huh?" "Yes." "What are you doing?" "Leaving marks, so we don't get lost." "Careful." "What are you doing?" "I broke it." "What?" "What?" "I broke the camera." "What?" "You broke it?" "Just kidding!" "Very funny." "Why don't you get it out and film?" "There's nothing to film but trees." "So I do all the filming and you don't do anything?" "It's like with that bald monk." "In the end we got nothing." "What monk?" "Anyway, the battery is dead." "What?" "I have like 400 batteries." "Why don't you film, if you like trees so much?" "Okay, I will." "Go on then." "You'll come creeping to me later." ""Cristian!" You know you will." "Hey, hey, wait, wait." "Look." "Look at this." "And you want to go in there?" "What else are we going to do?" "This is fucking cool." "Trust me." "I'll go first." "Go on." "That's the way." "I'll hold the branches back for you." "This is cool." "Now this way." "Damn!" "Shit!" "Look!" "It looks like a well." "It is a well." "This is cool." "It's super old." "Let's take a look." "Damn, check this out!" "Maybe it's Melinda's well." "This is cool." "Hold the camera a moment." "Let's try something." "Melinda!" "Melinda..." "Melinda!" "Melinda, no!" "Cristian!" "Stop it!" "Do you always have to be such an asshole?" "You're an idiot." "Oh, no!" "My glasses!" "Serves you right." "Fuck it!" "What a drag!" "Don't leave the camera on the ground." "Come on!" "Where the fuck are all those marks you made?" "If there are no marks, we didn't come past here." "Okay, smartass, what's that there?" "A mark." "Okay." "Now what?" "We go that way." "That way." "You think you know it all." "Maybe the girl will appear." "Did you get lost on purpose to see that fucking girl?" "Quiet!" "Look!" "There." "You see it?" "Yeah." "What is it?" "I don't know." "It looks like a person." "Maybe it's Mom." "No, it isn't Mom." "No shit!" "Then who the hell is it?" "I don't know." "So what should we do?" "What?" "Look at this shot." "See it?" "There." "That there." "I think it's a person with their back to us." "Watch it again." "No, it's not a person." "It's as if they're hunched up in a ball." "I don't know." "Yeah, all right, but..." "Let's see what else is on here." "What are you doing now?" "I've connected the cable from the camera to the laptop." "I'm going to film all night to see what makes that noise." "Cristian, in the woods there are animals that make noises." "I don't care." "I just wanna know what's making that noise." "APRIL 02, 2010 Day 4" "Robin!" "Robin!" "Robin!" "Did you see him over there?" "No." "I'll go see if he's over there." "José, come over here." "But, Mom, he's lost." "Don't worry." "Let's go inside and wait there." "He'll be back soon." "Come on." "José." "José!" "Don't worry." "Robin knows the way home." "Come on, Mom, let us go look for him." "July, I said no." "You could get lost in the woods." "We were in the woods yesterday." "Mom, it's really easy." "We'll be really quick." "I said no." "Robin!" "Robin!" " Robin!" " Robin!" "Shit!" "Robin!" "Robin!" " Robin!" " Robin!" "That fucking dog!" "Where the hell is he?" "This isn't normal, he should have barked or something." "Careful." "This is really weird." "Perhaps he went off chasing an animal or something." "Yeah, but he can't have gone so far." "I mean, this place isn't that big." "Yeah." "You're right." "I don't see any marks around here." "Do you think something happened to him?" "Maybe." "I don't know." " July!" " What?" "Look at this." "But..." "What is it?" " Okay!" "Okay!" " God!" "You wait here, okay?" "Oh, God." "Fucking hell!" "Shit, man!" "I don't believe this." "Oh, God." "God." "I'll go check it out." "No!" "Shit!" "Is it Robin?" "Yes, it's Robin." "Shit, man!" "Fucking hell!" "I don't believe this." "I can't believe it." "Fuck." "Let it go, please..." "We can't just leave him there." "What do you want to do?" "Bury him or something." "How will you get him out?" "I don't know." "Let's go." "Give me the backpack." "Who do you think killed him?" "I don't know." "I think there was a mark over here." "Look, there it is." " Where?" " There." "What are we going to tell them?" "I don't know, but don't tell José anything." "Did you see Robin?" "No, but we'll look for him again tomorrow, okay?" "José, don't worry, okay?" "What's wrong with this thing?" "There's nothing recorded." "Shit, there's nothing here." "You didn't touch the cable, did you?" "No." "I don't understand it." "There's nothing." "It cuts offjust before." "And you didn't touch this cable?" "No." "So it unplugged itself then?" "Well?" "Okay, yes, it was me." "You idiot!" "What now, huh?" "We have no video of the dog, we have nothing!" "I told you not to touch the cable!" "Why did you touch the cable?" "What do you care if I film or not?" "Fucking hell!" "You're so stupid." "You're so stupid." "Are you awake?" "Are we going to tell Mom?" "Not now, she'll get all hysterical on us." "Hey, I'm sorry I switched off the camera, okay?" "Well, it doesn't matter now." "What do you think happened to the dog?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "José!" "José!" "José!" "José!" "José!" " José!" " What is it, Mom?" "Have you seen José?" "No, he's not here." "Why?" "I've looked all over the house and I can't find him." "Do you think he might be outside?" "Cristian, please, help me find him!" "José!" " July, get the camera." " What's wrong?" "José must have gone outside." "Come on, July, quick!" " Mom!" " José!" " Come on, July, quick!" " I'm coming." "Mom!" "Mom!" "José!" " Cristian!" " Mom!" "Wait, Cristian!" "José!" "Mom!" " Cristian!" " Mom!" "Mom, wait!" "Mom!" "José!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Cristian!" "José!" "Mom!" "José!" "José!" "Cristian!" "Cristian!" "Wait!" "I don't know." "Give me your hand." "It's all because we didn't tell him the dog was dead." "Hey." "What are you doing?" "The fucking camera isn't working." "You're joking?" "It's okay." "Leave it there." "Let's go find them." "Leave it." "I can't see a thing." "Hold on to me." "Hold on." "I've got it on night vision." "Mom?" "Hey, how about we go back to the house?" "Back to the house?" "You don't even know where we are." "Of course I do, but at night it's different." "Okay, stop." "Take this, okay?" "Why are you giving me this?" "I'm holding the camera, okay?" "You hold this." "Okay, let's go." "Mom?" "There it is again." "It's Mom." " No, wait." "Wait!" " Mom!" " What if it isn't?" " It is!" "Mom!" " No, wait!" " It is." "Trust me!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Wait." "Mom!" " No, wait, Cristian!" " It's Mom!"

"Okay, hold on to me." "I've got you." "Don't scream." "Come on, let's go." "Are you okay?" "Careful." "Fuck!" "What?" "What is it?" "Fucking hell." "What is it?" "A nail?" "Fuck!" "Fucking hell!" "Okay, hold on tight." "Let's go." "Quickly." "Come on." "Here's a mark." "Come on." "Quickly." "Quickly." "Hold this." "I'm going to get a cloth." "The cloth." "What's that?" "What's that?" "Quiet!"

"Police think the victims are minors, children belonging to the same family." "It is not yet known how they died or the motive for the crime, but police say they are keeping all lines of enquiry open." "Police are still investigating the murders of three siblings in a house near Sitges, according to sources close to the investigation." "The bodies were discovered on Sunday afternoon." "Police investigators continue collecting evidence in the house of Sitges where the bodies of three Spanish siblings, aged between 8 and 18, and a Spanish man aged 37, who apparently called 911, appeared this afternoon." "The bodies were cut into pieces in their own house." "In the Quintanilla murder case, investigators say a video camera belonging to Cristian Quintanilla sheds new light on the case." "Police experts are now analyzing 37 hours of video footage." "Oh, no!" "Fuck!" "Although these symptoms fluctuate and vary between daytime and night-time, the patient gets noticeably worse at night and in the dark." "Women who have had schizophrenic episodes during adolescence, be it nervous breakdown, irrational behavior or violence, have a very strong tendency to relapse into the condition..." " What is this?"

"Those of her children Cristian and Julia, but it was only after the birth of her third child, Michelle, that the psychosis became apparent." "In Debora's case, the symptoms weren't detected soon enough, and it's likely she was hallucinating when she took the life of her newborn." "Debora has always maintained the existence of a woman named Elvira, she says she hears her at night and that she visits her sometimes," "and she also blames her for the death of her daughter." "Debora, I'm going to ask you some questions now, as I know you haven't been able to sleep lately." "Tell us about this woman." "Who is Elvira?" "Debora..." "Who is Elvira?"
