[Amaia] "The witch of the Crow's Nest
lives hidden in a ruined house in the middle of the woods..."
[Celia] I don't believe it.
If she's hidden it's because she doesn't want anyone to find her.
[Patricia] That's only because people are scared of magic.
And my dad can do the trick where you pull a coin from someone's ear.
That's not magic.
I know, silly. That's just a joke.
[crow caws]
I'm scared, Patricia. We're going back.
How can you be scared of her if you say she doesn't exist?
Come on, Celia, we're close now.
[to herself] I don't care what that scaredy cat says.
I know the witch really does exist.
[Patricia/Amaia] "The only bad thing is sometimes the witch gets sad
then she talks to herself.
[Patricia/Amaia] Well, that's what I thought
[Amaia] until I realised she was talking to a ghost,
the ghost of the girl they killed many years ago,
the girl who gave her the spinning top.
I took the spinning top from her and showed it to Celia,
but she still doesn't believe me."
[knocking]
[Amaia] Can't you sleep either? [Paul] No chance.
We have to work out how to get these to the police.
- Are you still reading that? - Uh-huh.
Your mother knew someone from the Crow's Nest when she studied here,
and she also talked about the ghost of a girl.
The ghost of the spinning top girl and the witch of the woods.
That's a story she told us when we were little.
But, hey, it's just childish nonsense, that's all.
And what was the end of the story?
Pff! I dunno. I don't remember.
But for sure it didn't say anything about how to end all this.
I don't know. What if there's some truth in it?
Yeah. My mother did become a witch.
That's the truth.
[wind howls outside]
[owl hoots outside]
Why do you hate her so much?
[emotional strings music]
[romantic piano and strings music]
All that matters now
is getting the papers to the police and finding Manu.
[Patricia] Even though Celia doesn't believe it, the witch is my friend,
and she tells me about her travels around the world
and the magic she knows
because she has a book of spells: "The Dragonfly Book".

I escaped from class.
Hello.
I know what that is.
The Rune of Death,
the symbol of the Crow's Nest.
I have it too, on my neck.
I know. [sighs]
There are so so many things that you have to tell me.
Wait. Hey, hey... Don't leave like this.
What is it that you don't want to tell me?
Am I a killer?
That's a yes.
You saved my life.

[classroom chatter]
[sniffling] [heavy door opening]
[Pelayo] Uribe, let's see if you learn your lesson this way.
It's very easy to stray from the right path.
You hear me?
Come on.
[PA] Students taking sports are reminded that the five-minute shower is obligatory.
Personal hygiene is a mark of respect for yourself and those around you.
Adèle.
It was so cold.
It's okay now.
[wind howling outside]
Better?
What did you take, Adèle?
[crows cawing outside]
Is all this because of Mum?
[Pelayo] Celia,
did you pick up the laundry from the dry cleaners?
Yes, of course, I picked it up this morning.
Did you know that Mum was friends with Celia?
The card I gave you was written to her.
She said she was really fun.
Do you remember when we used to dance?
Or how her cakes would never rise?
And she told us to keep it a secret
because it was a disgrace for a scientist.
What she did to Dad and those people.
It's worse than if she was dead.
Listen to me.
I'll do whatever it takes to get us out.
Okay? Whatever.
[sniffles]
[car door closing] [man] Hello, how are you?
My wife Nicole.
[Mara] This way.
[PA] Paul and Adèle Uribe, come to the headteacher's office immediately.
Paul and Adèle Uribe.
[knocking]
Come in.
[man, in French] See? Aren't my niece and nephew lovely?
Since you didn't come to the wedding...
If Mohammed won't go to the mountain, the mountain must go to Mohamed.
This is Nicole, my wife.
[in French] A pleasure. It's so good to meet you.
[both in French] - Nice to meet you. - Congrats, I guess.
[man] You look good.
How you've grown, Adèle. You've become a young woman.
Thank you.
And you're just the same.
Why are you here, Marcel?
My nephew is what you call a free spirit, always so direct.
The truth is that...
[hesitates] May we sit?
Please.
[in French] You're adults now. Hm?
I think it's time for you, Paul,
to become more involved in the family business.
Part of the business belonged to your dad.
Let's just say that for certain transactions I need your cooperation.
[in French] I'll sign what you want, if you get us out of here.
In the middle of term, that wouldn't be wise.
You might have to repeat the year.
[in French] Please, Uncle Marcel, get us out of here.
Please, Adèle, don't be so dramatic.
Last night they punished me by locking me in a dungeon.
Is that true?
[in French] Yes, it's the truth.
It's common practice here.
We're also forced to take cold showers, and--
Enough! Paul! Paul, enough!
These kids exaggerate everything.
Please, Adèle. A dungeon?
No, it's a place... a place of solitude...
...of reflection.
Here we value discipline above all else.
It's something that clearly Paul and Adèle need.
No, what we need is to go back home.
[in French] I'm quite sure the boarding school
is the right place for you right now.
[Paul, in French] Seriously? Think it through.
Either you get us out of here, or I won't sign a thing.
Let's go.
[Marcel, in French] Hey...
It's important, Paul.
Take these papers,
and sign them for me, understood?
I'm not asking for a favour.
- Really? - No.
[door slams]
I want you to clean with this, okay? And with this sponge. Yes?
Turn on the hot water.
[pupil 1] Wow! Get in the shower, there's hot water!
Come on!
[pupil 2] I'm coming too. I'm not missing this.
Elvira,
- how is the student? - Fine.
She just came over dizzy, like a drop in blood pressure,
but she's gone back to class now.
You okay?
León,
Inés Mendoza has a tattoo on her neck.
The symbol of the Crow's Nest.
Do you know what that means?
Because I do.
I doubt it's what you're saying.
Elvira, these days kids will get tattoos of anything.
Look, I know perfectly what I saw.
And it makes sense, if you think about it.
No, it doesn't, because you're talking about a student and a medieval lodge.
Let's see... Don Arturo, explained it to me.
The punishment for the Crow's Nest was being forgotten.
What if the cause of Inés's amnesia wasn't the accident?
No, you're the one forgetting that we're in the 21st century.
León, they've used me.
Just like Darío Mendoza is using maleic acid,
and experimenting on students
to help his daughter recover her memory and break the curse of the Crow's Nest.
I know this all sounds very strange,
but I see it so clearly.
The Crow's Nest
is Corax in the 21st century.
Corvus Corax.
Elvira, don't go talking about this around here.
Please.
I've been funded since university by Corax.
I've been so stupid.
But I won't stay even one day longer.
Elvira.
Elvira, please.
[door opening] [footsteps walking away]
[Manu] Ball.
[slide projector clicks]
Bike.
Flower.
Carnival of Venice?
- [chuckles] We've got him. - [Manu] Is that wrong?
Well, then Carnival of Cadiz.
I dunno.
[hissing]
[gulps]
[straining]
[gasps]
[door closing] [footsteps]
[school bell rings]
Inés, did it happen again?
Worse every time.
The walls were coming down on me.
You can keep talking. Don't worry.
But why us?
I don't know.
Okay.
I see a girl.
A girl who is dead.
Inés sees her too.
Come on, Amaia.
If you see her, it's because she's alive.
Er no, because she has a broken neck and ripped-out eyes.
[laughs]
Okay, I'm done with you.
- No, Amaia, I'm sorry. - What?
Are you serious?
If you're seeing spirits or ghosts or whatever you see,
maybe it's because they have unfinished business here.
What does that mean?
Um...
[Pelayo] I would have left them without breaks or hot water for another month.
Well... [sighs]
...we'll see how they behave now.
[Léon] I get the impression that you two really enjoy all this.
[knocking]
Can I talk to you, sir?
It's about the work for Wednesday.
Of course, one second.
[whispering] How are you? I was so worried.
Bad. I can't handle this.
Don't worry.
"Don't worry" is all I've heard since I woke up from the coma.
But I have dreams, or memories or visions,
I don't know what they are, I don't understand why they come to me.
I know Darío isn't my father.
I don't even know what my name is.
Tell me who I am
and why they're lying to me.
[inhales] If what we had was so strong and so real, then...
...have faith in me.
How could I not trust you?
Come to my room when you're free.
[emotional piano and strings]
[Amaia] "I know Celia isn't going to believe it, but I saw the ghost today.
I opened the hiding place in the witch's house
by pressing the eyes of the magic lion..."
[Paul] Seriously? We're talking ghosts and magic lions?
Amaia, we should be working out how to get the Corax reports to the police.
Because this won't be any use for us getting out of here or helping Manu.
"...and there I found the definitive proof that the ghost existed
and that the witch is a witch.
But because I escape to the woods every day to be with her,
they're going to expel me."
[Eric] Hey, Paul! Your mum escaped from the school before you did.
[Paz] Keep going.
This is the craziest bit.
"The headteacher took some things, but the definitive proof,
which will stop Celia calling me a liar,
I hid in his office, under his nose." It's in the office.
Does she mean Mara? But like 40 years ago?
No, at that time the headteacher was Don Arturo,
and his office is in the monastery.
Right, I'll see you later.
Celia.
- Yes? - OK, we've finished the windows.
Very good. Sweep the floor.
[grunts]
ROOM 3
[grunting] [panting]
FRENCH - SPANISH DICTIONARY
So, my uncle thinks I'm an idiot.
He says he wants me to take part in family the business,
but all he wants is my inheritance.
What a dick. Don't sign anything.
When we get out, we'll blow your inheritance.
We have to get the Corax reports out now and take them to the police.
[Eric whispering] It's ridiculous
that we have reports that say we're the lab rats of a psychopath,
and we're doing nothing about it.
[in French] How are you, Paul?
I thought about what you said.
And...
And why not?
We can think about some other schools. Hm?
For next year.
What do you think?
Sign the documents,
and this evening I'll take you out for dinner,
to celebrate.
What time?
Eight o'clock?
Paul!
Great, thank you. Hm?
See you later.
What are you doing?
Tonight I'll get the Corex reports out and give them to the police.
Guys, I think I now know how to sneak into the monastery.
What's happened?
Paul.
- What? - You're such an idiot.
Yeah.
Manu would also think you're a moron, for what you've just done.
And the more I know you, the stupider you seem.
Well, I'm finding the same with you.
But for a long time now, since the first day I saw you.
I thought you were an idiot as well.
[romantic piano music]
When Manu comes back, I'll get out of your way.
Perfect.
Look out, your brother's coming.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
- Bea, right? - Eva.
You've your book upside-down.
[chuckles]
Loser.
Adèle...
[yells]
[distant piano playing]
I have...
...the feeling...
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe not.
But something is happening between Inés and you.
Hm.
I say this in case
you've forgotten that there is a red line
that you cannot cross with her.
She's not even called Inés.
Inés was your daughter and she is dead.
And whatever you do, she'll still be dead.
What will you do when she finds out the truth?
What truth?
What you're doing to the students at this school.
You're spending too much time with Elvira.
- Elvira isn't stupid, Darío. - Nor are you and I.
Stay away from Inés.
If I were you, I'd also stay away from Elvira.
I don't think she'll be around much longer.
[Léon] Hm.
[Darío] Hm.
You know what, León?
Everything...
[piano strings reverberate]
...everything has consequences.
Darío!
Don't forget who I am.
[PA system] Students are reminded that study period
is necessary for revision and learning.
Elvira?
León?
[Léon outside] Luís, can you let me in?
[mournful piano music]
Inés.
Hey, my love.
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
[piano music building tension]
Did you know the fourth leaf is a recessive gene?
I thought something had happened to you.
Are you sure you want to leave?
You can't leave all this unfinished.
León, I don't want anything to do with them.
I owe it to Elías.
I know.
But sometimes you have to change things from within.
Yeah.
But those people have a lot of money, a lot of power and few scruples.
Tell me, what can you and I do alone against them?
There's something I haven't told you.
I was born in this valley.
I didn't live here for many years,
but when I was little, the women would tell stories.
In this valley,
fantastic things happen for a scientist like you.
Remember when you told me about the Crow's Nest and the Draco Musca?
I've found something that changes everything.
Stay here.

Please.

Hey, where are the Corax reports?
You know, I don't even remember what it's like to be in restaurants.
So long as there's a telephone.
Let's see, so I'll entertain them while you go to the loo?
And I'll hide the reports in the toilet
then call the police and tell them where they are.
[gates opening] And if they don't listen to us?
They'll listen to me.
Did you really think I'd stood you up?
[keypad beeps and door buzzes]
Paul!
I don't want you out of my life.
Not now, not ever.
Amaia Torres,
you can't be here, get inside.
Quickly, make a wish.
Get straight back to Paris.
[laughs] But not out loud, otherwise it won't come true.
[Darío] Well, Well, Well.
- Welcome to my home, mon ami. - [in French] Bonsoir.
- [Darío laughs] Comment ça va? - Très bien, merci.
I imagine you know Darío Mendoza, the one and only.
Come in, guys. Come on.
OK, great.
Come in, please, come in.
[crow cawing]
[Amaia] This is Don Arturo's office.
Come on, let's go.
Okay, so now do we just get the Ouija board out?
How about we take this moment
to make a toast? Hm?
To this new partnership between your laboratory...
...and Corax.
A toast also to our host...
...for welcoming us...
- ...into your home. - Very good.
I've just handed over our inheritance to a psychopath.
[in French] Why don't you take your coats off
and eat something?
The food is delicious.
A bit of everything.
- Go ahead, these are very good. - They're good?
This is really tasty.
These are delicious...
Paul, what do we do?
[Darío] It's goat's cheese.
- There must be a phone around here. - Yeah.
What if he has Manu here?
And what if Room 3 is here?
Yes, I'll show you around the house in a bit.
Darling Inés...
What are you doing up? You should be resting in your room.
[Inés] And miss the party? No way!
I'm much better now.
- [Nicole] Bonsoir. - [Darío] A beauty, as you say.
[Nicole] Enchantée.
[coughs]
Bloody hell!
My mother used to bollock me for not cleaning behind the furniture.
But Amaia, what are we looking for exactly?
- There has to be something here. - I don't know where else to look.
It's not a flying feather duster. There's nothing here, let's go.
- Or a potion that turns us into frogs! - Shit! You scared me.
Hey, can we hurry this up?
I'm imagining that girl in front of me.
Frightened because they were going to expel her,
thinking quickly of where to hide her treasure...
...before Don Arturo came back.
[young Patricia] What are you doing? They'll catch us! Turn it off.
Julio.
Here...
[Paz] Careful, Amaia.
[Eric] Amaia, what are you doing?
Exactly!
Right under his nose!
- [Julio] What is it? - [Paz] My grandparents have these.
- A tin? - No, it's a reel, something like that.
I think I know where to watch it. [bell tolls]
[bell tolls throughout scene]
Shit. I think I know where we are.
Where?
[Darío] The progress is significant.
And music is key.
It has allowed us to delve much deeper...
What if we ask Inés for help?
Inés?
- It's her house. - No.
Look at her, she's in her element.
Yeah.
[coughs] Excuse me.
The toilet?
There. That door.
What happened?
[gasp] [thud] [Darío] Hey, hey...
Are you OK?
- Yes. - What's that?
Give it. Give it to me.
How odd. What's this doing here?
It should be somewhere else.
I thought I had given them to Fran. Where is my head?
There we go. Are you okay?
- Yes, thank you. - I'm glad.
[door opens]
[footsteps approaching]
What are you doing here?
I'm on your side, I already told you.
Go upstairs and leave me alone.
What were you looking for?
Have you heard of Room 3? The room where your father keeps Manu.
He's not my father. And how could he be keeping him here?
[thud]
Aargh!
[grunts]
[Paul] Shit.
There's nothing here.
Paul!
The magic lion, like your mother said.
Will you do it, or should I?
[lock opening]
[door mechanism]
[groans and coughs]
[Paul] Sure it's this way? [Inés] Yes, this way.
[Manu] Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey, guys, up here!
Amaia!
Amaia! [sobs]
Amaia...
Students are reminded that bed time is in five minutes.
Lights will be turned off in five minutes.
OK, it's in the store room. Come on, come on.
[rain and water dripping]
It spent more than 400 years buried in a tomb.
[Elvira] Draco Musca.
But how is this possible?
León, it wasn't a metaphor.
They managed to stop time.
[film projector whirs]
[Paz] It's the sanatorium! We were just there.
1936.
It's during the Civil War.
[bang]
[Paz] And that?
It's the girl who was killed.
The girl Paul's mum talks about in her diary.
[Inés] What is this?
The place where my mother said the witch used to hide.
Paul,
Paul, the light. Bring the light!
Is that you?
With León? You knew each other?
But it says "Alicia Bernal".
[Inés] "1960".
[Paul] This doesn't make sense. [Inés] I don't understand.
It's Inés.
[Amaia] Inés in 1936.
[Inés] Leave that. You have to rest.
You film me.
I want you to remember me when I'm gone.
You're not going anywhere.
We're going to be together forever.
Even if I have to sell my soul to the devil.
Together forever.
Every day.
