THE VICEROYALTY OF NEW SPAIN
PUEBLA, CITY OF ANGELS
NOVEMBER 2ND, 1807
ALL SOUL'S DAY
FUNERAL HOME "LIFE, YOU DON'T DESERVE ME"
Help this poor blind man!
Victim of the "Sad Night"!
Thank you, Dona Tonita.
Oh,it's getting dark.
I better go. One can't see anything later on.
It's coming again!
Legend says that if night falls while you're walking...
... through the Nahuala street, you have to be very carefuI...
... because at the old manor...
... lives the spirit of the Nahuala.
There she comes!
All began fifty two years ago during All Soul's Day.
When one of the most important families of Puebla...
... was haunted by a mean...
... who wanted to be the most powerful one.
Dear guests, I'm really thankful...
...that you're here for the All Soul's Day dinner.
Say no more. Say no more.
The beast was looking for human bodies...
... to fulfill its plan.
And then, the cook of the manor became "The Nahuala".
With a new body...
... the Nahuala made a devilish ceremony...
... which would give her eternal Iife...
... and she'd conquer all the world.
Our new cook is excellent.
Oh, brother, looks delicious.
The soup, don't get mad, hon. Don't get mad.
It makes you lick your fingers.
This has to be diet food.
The Nahuala killed a lot of people...
... but she was stopped.
Since then, her spirit and the spirit of those she killed...
... are locked up there.
Legend says that if night falls while you're near the manor...
... the spirit of the Nahuala will catch you up.
You're a chicken, Leo.
Careful, the Nahuala can smell children's pee.
You know what? Now your name will be: "Squirt".
Are you really afraid, little Squirt?
Squirt is really afraid. I'll scare him so much.
Leo! Nando!
Come down and help me put the offering!
Yes, Granny!
The last one to get down will be a chicken, Squirt.
Chicken! Chicken!
LA LEYENDA DE LA NAHUALA
Oh, children, the offering is really beautiful.
I really miss my parents, Granny.
All Soul's Day is a celebration.
Don't be sad because of them.
Each November 2nd they come to visit us.
And we receive them with all their favorite things.
We put mole, chalupas, bread, fruits.
Incense, candles and orange marigolds...
...to guide their path.
I hardly remember them anymore.
Yes, you were very little.
My Leo, you're just like your father when he was your age.
Really, Granny?
But Dad wasn't a scaredy cat like Squirt here.
Leo has a courageous and brave soul.
He just has to let it out.
Sure, and I'm the Count of Chalpatlahua.
But Squirt can't even talk right.
He speaks like he has cramps on his tongue.
Shut... Shut...
- Are you going to go No. 2? - Shut... Shut up, Nando!
Oh, the Nahuala!
Fernando San Juan, we don't talk about the Nahuala in this house.
I was just playing, Granny.
Put that fruit back in the offering right now.
How did all of these get to my pockets?
Nothing happened here. Nothing, really.
I don't know how did it get here.
SAN JUAN BAKERY
Good afternoon and do come tomorrow.
We'll have freshly baked Bread of the Dead.
The bread will be fresh, not the dead.
- Dionisia, you're something else. - I was a bit out of hand.
I'm in a good humor today.
Cocol.
Come here, little Cocol.
Beat the whites until they form stiff peaks, speed No. 3.
Leo!
Come here!
Yes, Nana Dionisia.
It's almost time to go to mass...
...and it's your turn to help father Godofredo, boy.
Yes, Nana. Thank you.
Hey, Leo, you know what's the problem of a donut?
No.
To be fat and still have a hole in the stomach.
And I know another joke...
...about how they make the donut holes in Alvarado, Veracruz.
They say the Nahuala is over 300 hundred years old.
And is really old and wrinkled like a prune.
Leo!
Touch the bellorum!
The bell, kid!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
- Ya, ya, ya! - Well, cut it.
Alleluia!
Corpus Christi.
Sometimes, the Nahuala comes out of the manor...
...in search for children, though she'd seem a harmless old lady...
... she's actually an evil monster.
The Father's drawers!
Oh, sweet Jesus!
I'm really angry now.
You took a back tooth out, you left me on my drawers...
...and you almost kill Brother Sinfonolo.
Why have you acted so strange at mass, Leo?
It's just that I'm scared, Father Godofredo.
Come here.
What are you afraid of, kid?
The Nana... Nana...
Nana's tacos gave you a stomachache.
No, the Nahuala from the old manor.
What do you know about the Nahuala?
Nando told me she's a witch...
...and that she'll suck my soul out.
Listen to me, Leo.
The Nahuala was a very evil woman...
...that lived a long time ago, but now is dead...
...and she can't harm anyone.
For Pete's Sake, let's change the subject.
If you promise not to be scared anymore...
...I'll show you something wonderful.
You can fly with this like the birds.
Fly, how?
Look, you get inside this basket...
...and this balloon will get you really high.
Leo, look at my balloon.
It's really big, Father Godofredo.
For Pete's sake, not this, you fool.
There! Out there, Leo!
There it is my balloon.
When I blow it up, you can get inside with me.
Are you going to be afraid of flying in the balloon?
No.
We're going to get the birds jealous.
Oh, jeez.
A penny for this blind man...
...who fed a monster and end up being eaten.
A penny, for the love of God.
God will repay you, boss.
A penny, for this...
Wow, I missed that one.
Meringue filled-cakes! Meringues!
I want a meringue filled-cake.
I can't see, coming through.
Jeez!
I'd like to be cross-eyed to see you twice.
Damn blind man! Can't you see!
Seven o'clock and everything's calm!
Heads up!
Pee!
I'm going straight, I don't care who's in front!
This neighborhood is really dangerous at night.
I have "borrachos", "jamoncillos", peanut brittle...
...dried pumpkin seed, amaranth candy, caramel-covered candy...
...coconut candy, turrones, marzipan, yam candies!
Here they are, what can I get you?
- Hi, Santos, what do you got? - Didn't you hear?
I have "borrachos", "jamoncillos", peanut brittle...
...dried pumpkin seed, amaranth candy, caramel-covered candy...
...coconut candy, turrones, marzipan, yam candies!
Here they are, what can I get you?
Hi.
Here's cramped-tongue.
His brother told me that he pees when he's scared.
We better go, he may pee on us.
Cheer up, Leo, don't be upset.
Here, take an amaranth candy to cheer up.
Shut up, fool.
Amaranth always do the trick.
Hey, Santos, do you believe in the witch from the old house?
The old house?
Oh, Leo, I'm too old to believe in such things.
The house...
Then, the house isn't haunted?
No way. That house is like my friend's wife...
...completely abandoned.
No one have had the money to buy it.
No one.
But let me tell you a secret.
I'm saving up some money and I'll buy it myself.
Yes, sir. And I'll set up the biggest candy store in Puebla.
Let me tell you, as a friend, you have to face your fears. Leo.
And as the first step, to be a brave boy...
...you should get inside the house.
I've been inside, it's wonderful.
Listen, so you stop being afraid and you get inside the house...
...I'll give you a present.
Wait, I've hid it, where is it?
Here, this is my good luck charm so the dogs don't bark at me.
Wait, I've put it here somewhere.
No, wait, this is to keep me from sleeping when I'm reading.
Wait, this is my good luck charm to avoid being afraid.
Miquixtli's medallion.
You'll be a very brave boy with it.
Thanks, Santos. You're my best friend.
And I have something else.
Would you like to see something really magical?
- Yes, yes. - It's like treats.
But treats for your eyes, they're called "fireworks".
They brought them to me from far China.
You'll see how beautiful they are.
Step back a little.
Look!
A hole!
Five churros, three "conchas", two "cocoles"...
...one "chilindrina", three "ojos de pancha"...
...and one "ear-shaped bread", I'll put it right now.
I got you, brother.
I can't believe you, Dionisia.
Nana, Nana!
I've just saw something amazing!
It must be really amazing 'cause you stopped stammering.
It's like treats for your eyes.
They're called "play-works".
Or was it "fireworks"?
Treats for your eyes? You keep making things up.
My boy, I need you to make me a last minute errand.
I need to you take this to a Mr. Machorro...
...at No. 10, Nahuala Street.
The stree... of the Nahua...
The street... of the Na... Nahuala?
Yes, at No. 10, just passing the old abandoned house.
Go on, Leo, before it gets darker.
Go on, come on!
The Nahuala was a very evil woman. Very evil.
That lived a very Ion g time ago. A very Ion g time ago...
Boy, can you give me a bread?
You're a good boy.
Who's there?
The Nahuala touched you. You're cursed now, Squirt.
The witch has just sucked out your soul.
Nothing can save you if you smell like pee.
Oh, Squirt, you had to honor your nickname.
The Squirt's cursed now! The Nahuala touched his cheek!
The Squirt's cursed now...!
- What's this, Squirt? - What do you care?
And don't call me Sss... quirt!
Give it back!
It's mine!
Do you want your stupid necklace?
You'll have to come and get it!
Here, at the old haunted house!
Nando!
Leo, help me out!
The Nahuala is sucking me up!
Help me!
I'm coming, Nando, hang in there!
You should've seen your face, Squirt!
Oh, my stomach!
Leo, look at this.
Don't you ever talk to me again!
No, I'm serious, Leo. Please, watch this.
Leo!
Leo, help me!
Help me, Leo!
This is for real, little brother!
I wish you'd disappear for good!
Leo, help me!
Nando!
What should I do now? What?
Nando... I can't leave him there. This is all my fault.
The Na... Nahuala...
I think that...
No, Granny doesn't want to know about the Nahuala.
Oh, Nando.
Nando, Leo!
Come down for dinner!
We're coming, Nana!
Coming, Nana!
Your Granny Tonita asked me to give you dinner.
She'll be home late.
Why isn't Nando here?
What? Did the witch suck him up?
It's just that he didn't want to come down 'cause he's sick.
Are you sure he's sick?
If he's sick, I'll have him for dinner.
I'm just kidding, kid.
I'll go check what's wrong with Nando?
No, don't go.
Leo, I was joking about having him for dinner.
Now what! Now what!
Oh, God,it's really tiring coming upstairs.
Up, up!
Up. Up. I'm coming.
I'm no sailor.
Oh, up, up!
Let's see how's the boy.
Nando. Little Nando, are you feeling sick?
No, I'm really tired.
Your voice sounds strange, let me see if you have a fever.
No, Nana, I'm okay. Let me sleep!
Okay, okay. Don't get mad. Good night.
Stairs up, stairs down.
Stair s down!
Sometimes you go up. Sometimes you go down.
San Marquena of my life.
San Marquena, my love.
My child, how are the tacos?
Let's see, where did you get that branch?
It's just that... my stomach was itching...
The stomach.
...and I needed something to scratch it.
I didn't ask Nando if he had a stomachache.
I'm coming up.
Up, up, I'm coming.
I'm no sailor.
Jeez, I hope this thing can hold me up.
Father Godofredo!
Leo, but what are you doing here at this time of night?
It's just that I didn't know what to do. I swear it.
The old house sucked Nando.
What?
The door was closed and Nando disappeared...
...with my medallion and all.
Medallion?
This is really serious. Quick, come with me.
Come!
To your right, Leo.
To your other right, son.
Behind those old books.
Just near "The Exorcist". There, there.
There you go.
For Pete's Sake, keep the balance.
Father.
With green sauce, please.
Where were we?
We have to save Nando.
What are we waiting for?
Look, Leo, some legends are true.
In these lands lived great sorcerers...
...some were good...
...and some were evil.
And fifty two years ago...
It's almost time for the New Fire.
If we don't destroy that beast before midnight...
It's at the house of the Villavicencio family.
Let's go now.
The Nahuala was ready to fulfill her plan.
With Miquixtli's Medallion...
... she'd steal the soul of three innocent girls...
... to remain young and become eternal and powerful.
The girls were: Xochitl, a house maid...
... Teodora, the only daughter of the Villavicencio's...
... and Tonita San Juan, friend of Teodora.
Tonita San Juan?
Like my grandmother?
Exactly right. I'm talking about your grandmother, Leo.
We arrived at the house trying to stop the Nahuala.
But it was too late for Xochitl, and Teodora.
Tonita was brave and faced the Nahuala...
... freeing her friend's souls...
... and helped us to keep the Nahuala from finishing her ritual.
... my body and soul become this house...
We managed to vanquish the body...
... but her spirit had taken over the house.
We could only save two girls that night.
No, I want my mom!
And we thought the Nahuala's medallion was lost for good.
Is this the medallion Santos gave you?
Yes.
We have to destroy the medallion tonight...
...or the Nahuala is coming back.
There's little time to rescue Nando.
What are we waiting for? Let's go!
You're going nowhere except home.
But, but...
Father Godofredo, it's my fault and...
Leo!
- Help me! - Nando!
Leo!
- I'm going for my brother! - Leo!
Saint John...
I'm... really old.
God, this is too much for me.
Santos?
Santos, come here, help me!
He saw me.
It's Leo, he went inside the old house and...
Santos!
Santos...
Come here.
Come here, Santos.
Come. Did you give the medallion to Leo?
I just wanted to give him a nice present, really.
Where did you get it?
I found it laying in the floor at Oblivion Street.
Don't you know that medallion was the Nahuala's?
Because of you Leo is in danger.
Where did you find it exactly, Santos?
Santos Machorro!
Oh, damn fatso.
Stop eating bread.
Leo...
Nan... Nando!
Candy skulls.
Nan... Nando?
Oh, Mother of God.
What am I doing here?
Nando?
Shush.
Shush!
You're Leo, right?
It figures.
Your brother keeps yelling that some Squirt bailed on him.
Does your name happen to be Xochitl?
That's me. At God's service and yours.
Shush.
- Leo! - We don't have much time.
The Nahuala will finish her ritual by midnight, we have to stop her.
I came here to find my brother.
No one told me I had to face the Nahuala.
If we don't do something, we'll be all doomed.
All?
What part of "all" you don't understand?
When the Nahuala completes her ritual she'll live forever.
We the dead will be her slaves and the living her food.
It's the Nahuala's cycle, she feeds on human souls.
She peels them off and swallows them up.
Each soul she eats becomes a new slave.
If the Nahuala completes her ritual...
...there'll be no people left in Puebla to play balero.
But all you need to play with a balerois...
Ah, now I get it.
Do you trust me?
Jeez, your hands are really cold.
Look who's talking.
Leo, help me!
Nando.
Nando, are you here?
Leo, help me! Leo!
Boy, you can really shout.
His name is Gaznate, he repeats all he hears.
Have you heard my brother?
What? Have you never seen a parrot before?
Leo!
Watch out, Leo!
Run, run! No, to your right! No, to your left! Left!
Leo, are you okay?
- Watch out! - Now what?
Jump! Get down! Jump! Play dead!
We made it!
And you even got a haircut.
You look really cute.
You put too much pepper in it.
This is not normal.
I wanna die.
"I wanna die. I wanna die."
Jump, Xochitl!
Leo, help me!
Leo!
Gaznate!
I wanna die. I wanna die, Leo!
See you later alligator!
I trust you. Hold me tight.
Don't cover your eyes. Don't cover your eyes!
Where's the exit?
Through there.
If we don't get down from this pot, we'll end up cooked.
It was to die for, right?
Leo?
Xochitl, help me out!
Men are useless.
Leo, I have an idea! Try to use your balero!
I'm brilliant.
Xochitl!
Traitor.
I need a hand.
Xochitl!
We're going to die!
I went crying to see a witch doctor.
And the witch doctor said: "Please..."
Nice number, yeah!
Hey, skinny, I want to go home.
No, we won't go until we have dinner.
I've been hearing that since the last 52 years.
Oh, yes, but look how thin and bald you are.
She's nuts about you, friend.
What's that smell?
It wasn't me.
They've smelled us. No!
No, really. It smells like...
Food!
Finally, the maid brought the main course.
One who digs his grave with his own teeth.
That's why you're so fat, dear.
I'm not fat. I have thick bones.
- Let's eat! - Let's eat!
Help me, Xochitl!
Dear guests of the Nahuala...
...I've brought you this kid as a main course.
Finally, we're thin to the bones.
If you allow me...
I want a leg and a thigh.
I'll prepare a new plate for you.
"Poblano Squirt".
Please have a seat.
Let's eat, let's eat!
The Squirt goes here.
- And I trusted you... - It's cooked with salt...
It needs a lot of salt.
Chopped candle and clove to spice it up.
And a whole balero to make it hot.
No, no, better put hot chillies. Is the balero hot?
Yes, and burns your eyes!
Yes,it is hot!
You won't get out of this, "main course".
We'll eat you up with chili, lemon and salt.
Knee-cap, ulna, femur, thighbone, shinbone.
Leo, look up, the chandelier!
Folks, please! Please!
Watch your manners!
Strike!
Oh, you don't respect the dead.
Coming down!
Arthritis!
You're mine, Squirt.
I'm not Squirt!
Knee-cap, ulna, femur, thighbone, shinbone.
Put some hay down!
Leo. Leo, did you break a bone?
Well, I think I've broken some, but not one of mine.
Rheumatism!
To the door! The door!
My friend!
Xochitl. Help me! Help me!
Knee-cap, ulna, femur, thighbone, shinbone.
I think things got a bit out of hand.
Miss Teodora is near.
And the dead here we have a nice time.
Among flowers of different colors.
And then on Friday...
...if there's no plan at the pit...
... we get dressed and go out.
And go for a walk...
... without crossing the gate, of course.
Because this is the place for the dead to be.
And if you ask me, Heaven can wait.
Chichi, where did you get this bone from?
Now you, did you bring your boyfriend?
No, Miss Teodora, he's not my...
Leo is a friend who's looking for...
Stop pretending, Xochitl.
She met her boyfriend at a neighborhood.
And that scum-bag gave her kisses.
Kisses, kisses. Lots of kisses...
Teodora, have you seen my brother?
Don't be insolent.
First of all, I'm "Miss Teodora" for you.
Well, I'm Leo San Juan and I have a bakery...
Be respectful, scum-bag.
Okay, ask again.
Excuse me, Miss Teodora...
My full name is Teodora Vicenta de la Purisima Concepcion...
...de la Inmaculada Trinidad Villavicencio.
Duchess of "You'll See Now", Marquise of "Whew"...
...and from La Condesa vicinity.
Yes, Teodora "all of that"...
...could you please tell me if you've seen my brother Nando?
Oh, yes. The boy that says that he has a brother called Squirt.
That screams: "Leo, Leo, help me".
And who's going to be sacrificed.
He can lower his voice.
He's through there.
Nando! Nando, are you there?
But I can tell you're so ignorant.
Really, don't you know you need a key to open up a door?
Do you have that key?
Xochitl...
...bring me a glass of water to refresh my memory.
Yes, I think I have it here.
This water is wet.
Please, remember where it is!
I'll tell you what. Get on your head...
...that way the blood gets faster to your brain and goes click...
...to your memory.
But you're the one who has to remember it.
But you're the one who has blood in his brain, scum-bag.
I mean, hello?
Dealing with this girl has to be the worst test of this house.
And you haven't spent the last 52 years here with her.
Wait up! My hair is not properly fixed.
Xochitl, bring me my pink brush.
It's just that your pink brush is on the other side of the door.
Well, open the door.
Chichi has the key.
My Chichi. Are you okay, my beautiful, Chichi?
To be or seem to be, that is the question
Eleven o'clock and all is calmed!
Calmed?
Wait for an hour and you'll see if everything is still calmed.
Everything?
Oh, Brother Fat is already awake.
Don't you know that is not polite to talk with your mouth full?
Leo and Nando are in the old house with the medallion...
...and is almost November 2nd.
Don't you know what may happen?
Yes, what I have planned all of my life.
I've saved the medallion for years...
...waiting for a kid to get in the house.
And I managed to get two inside.
Why did you do it, Santos?
Because 52 years ago you told me I had to be strong.
And I've been strong.
Don't you remember me?
Mom!
- You have to be strong. - No!
And believe me that I followed your advice.
I was really strong to survive without my mother.
And day after day, I waited for this night for years.
The night of the New Fire.
I'll see my mother again.
She won't be voices and shadows anymore.
Son of a... Nahuala.
Tonight is the night of the Nahuala.
When she's possessed Puebla, everyone will be doomed.
And this time, you won't be able to do anything.
In minutes, the moonlight and Leo's soul...
...will give back all of her powers to my mother.
So, Father, right now...
What?
Damn Fatso, where are you?
I know where you've gone.
You'll have to see me again.
Nando!
Nando, are you here?
Nando!
Xochitl!
Come here, Xochitl!
Xochitl!
We're running out of time, Leo San Juan.
You're our last hope.
The Nahuala is my master.
She's calling me.
Teodora!
Teodora?
Xochitl!
We're running out of time.
Xochitl!
Squirt!
Nando?
Squirt!
Little Squirt!
Hi, Squirt.
It was about time, Squirt.
You can't do anything right.
You're afraid to get inside, right?
I'm embarrassed to be your brother.
Squirt, how many times have you peed tonight?
I'll slap you every time you stammer.
Better not, you'll get dumber.
Stop! Leave me alone, Nando!
Boy...
...are you sure you want to rescue this scum-bag?
The door is opened.
You can leave crying like a little baby...
...and get rid of your annoying brother...
...for good.
You're right, Mrs. Nahuala.
I'll do it.
I'll stay and rescue my annoying brother!
Great!
It's your fate.
Mother of God, I'm in one piece! One piece!
I'm...
Where am I?
Be careful, little lad.
The creature that hides in here...
...could harm you.
It's indeed a savage beast.
A terrible monster.
Get down, lad.
Damn! I'll protect you!
Hi, kid!
You'll see, demonic creature!
I'll put you down as I have done with lots of dragons like...
...you.
How many times do I have to tell you, Don Andres?
I'm not a dragon, I'm an "alebrije".
Which is very different.
Really, Don Andres.
Kid, the owners of this house brought an ornament armor...
...from Spain which had a ghost included.
Hey, I'm the library's alebrije!
I'm Leo.
Do you read? That's sublime.
At last, someone with intellectual aspirations.
Did you hear? We can comment on the Iliad's verses or Cervantes.
Here, I have all of his works.
Count them up.
No, I have something more appropriate for you.
Plato's Socratic Dialogue...
...with Desiderius Erasmus' introduction in Latin.
No, no, not in Latin. I can tell you know nothing about Latin.
My name is Leo, Leonardo. And I do read.
But I'm Leo, not like the horoscope.
Come on, daddy. Come on.
This is a library.
You don't read? Are you a functional illiterate?
Functional illiterate?
My God,it's a prehistoric pterodactyl.
Get behind me, I'll save you.
And what's an "alebrije"?
Look, kid, us alebrijes are fantasy and reality.
Half animal, half something else.
And we're half a tail.
We are like cockroaches in the world of the dead.
Or like mutts in the flea market.
But there are differences.
For example, I'm an "alebrijulus, biblus pendulae"
Look, a library "alebrije".
And have you collected all these books with magic?
No, I borrowed them.
Kid, Daddy, I know everything.
Everything.
Ask me anything. Go on.
Do you know where my brother is?
Oh, no. Not that.
I don't work for a detective agency.
I'm an urban "alebrije".
I'll save you from those scary and monstrous giants.
I defeated one, but the other is enormous.
I'll defeat you and take you as a trophy for my beloved Dulcinea.
Dulcinea?
Get it, old man. Get it.
You don't even have a dog.
Oh,it's just a small dog.
It's a very dangerous lion who wants to attack you!
Hold your breath. I'll save you.
A lion?
Don Andres, when you eat cactus don't eat the slobbery part.
Let's see.
You want to know where your brother is.
What's his name?
Nando San Juan.
I have to save him from the Nahuala.
The Nahuala!
Did you say "The Nahuala"?
I guess you already know the Nahuala is terrible...
...and she can metamorphose into anything.
She could be a handsome "alebrije"...
...or a crazy old man like this one.
The Nahuala could be this fierce lion.
The Nahuala is so despicable she...
Don Andres.
The Nahuala could be this child pretending to look for his brother.
This kid.
I'm not the Nahuala. I'm Leo San Juan.
And if you're not?
This old man and I would be crazy to help you.
No way.
I'll save you, nice and helpless psychedelic lizard.
Back, back damn Nahuala.
If you don't believe me, I don't care. I don't have time.
- Time. - Wow!
The lad has guts.
- Time. - Or he is in a hurry, who knows.
Time.
Time to start the library's challenge.
Of course, my dear "alebrije".
This is the moment for Leo to prove he's not the Nahuala.
He has to finish the three incredibly difficult tests.
And the fir st on eis...
Daddy, could you draw a rectangle...
...with only three lines?
Show me.
- A rectangle with three lines. - Show me, kid.
No, no, no.
How impressive.
That is pure wisdom.
Attention, Leo.
The second testis...
Figure this out. Pay a lot of attention.
What is the only animal that, after being dead...
...keeps turning, and turning and turning.
Roasted chicken!
Wasn't it the guava? Oh, no. That's not an animal.
No. That answer is beyond my wildest dreams.
The kid, the kid, hurrah, hurrah.
Very Good, Nahuala.
You're going to win. I always knew it.
And last... Good luck, Leo.
The third test is...
The most difficult test of all tests.
This knot is more entangled than a tax return.
This knot is more twisted than the mind of a soccer coach.
More difficult than a spoiled teenager.
Leo San Juan. This is the knot of Rubik.
Let's see if you can untangle it.
This knot has been an impossible challenge for generations.
- Only the chosen one will... - Done!
He untangled it. He untangled it.
My God. But it has taken me 37 years...
...to entangle it.
Leo, you are "The One".
Forgive me. I wasn't sure.
That's why I made you go through all this.
I won't do it again. I promise.
You are "The One"
Not only "The One", you are the Socrates from Puebla...
...you are the national sweet potato.
Tell him where his brother is.
This kid is very brave.
And I'm sure he will make trouble for that evil witch.
Leo.
The road for you, the road you should follow is...
...that way.
What? That door?
It's the only one. I was already headed that way.
But check this out.
You wouldn't have seen the eye that sees you...
...where you can see what's ahead.
Let's see.
Recover Miquixtli.
Open the medallion.
Miquixtli's Medallion.
Face the creature.
Destroy evil.
Man, that's easy.
You steal the medallion and open it...
...you destroy the brother and rescue your bug.
I mean, the same but the opposite.
Go on, my wise and brave Leo.
The passage will be open only for a few more seconds.
Thank you, "alebrije". Good bye, Don Andres.
It's so nice when children leave well prepared.
Well, well. It's still not clear for me.
First, the kid was the Nahuala, then he was not.
To me he seemed to be a brave and smart child.
Get it, Daddy. Get it.
I was crying at ease.
Dionisia.
Dionisia, I'm home.
Hi, Dona Tonita.
Nando feels sick.
I'd better check on him.
I'll be here if you need me.
Dona Tonita acts weird on All Soul's Day.
Well, let's make some chocolate.
Beat and beat and beat the chocolate.
It'll be delicious.
Nando, Leo.
Dionisia, the children aren't here.
Not again!
They aren't here?
Leave everything and come, Dionisia.
Hello, my dear children.
Very soon your soul will give me absolute power...
...and eternal life.
And you...
I don't need to kill you to finish my ritual.
No, no, no.
I will only kill you because I don't like you.
The children are in danger. We have to hurry.
My ears!
Step back, Dona Tonita.
Let's go, Dionisia. There's no time to rest.
Hurry!
Up we go.
Up, up.
Up, up. I'm coming.
I'm no sailor.
I'll give the "Mortal Hold" to that door.
You'll see how it opens.
Go on, Dona Tonita. I'm not worth the trouble.
Save the children.
Will you be okay, Dionisia?
Yes, but don't take too long. I'll be hungry.
It looks juicy.
Hey, hey. There's no service over there.
Good night.
We'd like to invite you for dinner.
What a pretty girl!
Ha, hah! And more ha, hah!
It's almost midnight.
It's almost the New Fire.
- Leave my grandchildren alone! - Well, well.
The little girl who defied me is back.
You'll see, witch.
I'm here, mother, at your service.
Good. Good.
The time has come.
Leave my brother alone, damned witch.
After putting him down and abusing him...
...now you say you love him.
Well, say goodbye to him and your grandmother.
No.
Innocent souls of the past.
Come to me.
Oh, Miquixtli moon. Ancient Nahuales.
Altogether with the "copal" amongst water and fire.
Altogether with the "copal" amongst soil and wind.
I offer you this three souls.
And... what?
I'll take charge, Mother.
I was waiting for him.
Now you'll know what the revenge of All Saints is.
I have to obstruct moonlight. I have to obstruct moonlight.
What's this? Smoke, smoke.
Saint Isidore, give me strength.
Mother, I hit the jackpot.
Damned Father Godofredo.
The Saints are on his side, but not for long.
Gotcha!
Kaput.
Saint Fabiola, I'm burning.
God!
- Nahuala. - Godofredo.
You can't stop me this time.
Mom. Dear Mother. I got rid of the Father.
Of course. You can't do anything right.
Go away, good for nothing. I have to finish my spell.
If she wasn't my mother...
Millenary moon.
Miquixtli.
Take this innocent souls and give me the power.
Xochitl.
Teodora.
And Leo.
Leo, no!
Saint Frederick, I broke my nose.
Miserable priest! Pig!
Step back, step back, weasel from hell!
Son!
Destroy this bad imitation of a Father!
Of course, Mother.
Take it!
Say goodbye to the world, brat.
- Yoliztli. - Leo.
No.
Mom, help me, mom.
I'm not your mother, stupid.
52 years ago I took her body to carry out my plan.
And now you're useless to me...
...as well as this body.
You deceived me.
You deceived me all this time.
I won't lose my time with you, scum-bag.
Now...
...to my business.
Forgive me, forgive me, Leo.
No.
I'm not afraid of you.
Leo.
Use Tezcatlipoca's skull.
Open the medallion.
Destroy evil.
Father? Father Godofredo.
Congratulations, Leo. You are very brave.
You saved us all.
This crucifix is now yours.
Keep it, and use it when necessary.
Yes, thank you, Father.
I can die in peace knowing that with you Puebla is safe.
You know what I'll miss the most?
What?
Sweet bread from San Juan Bakery.
Get closer, Leo. I want to bless you.
In the name of the Father...
Saint Consuelo, it's time to go to heaven.
We are very proud of you, Leo.
Help me, Leo. The Nahuala.
Nando. Now you deserve to be called Squirt!
Brother, I won't call you Squirt.
"Peeing" suits you better.
You'll always pee.
See how it hurts?
Leo.
Thank you, Leo.
I'll always think of you.
I have to recognize you were brave, scum-bag.
Don't ever change. You are awesome.
They say we are all the same in eternity.
That's not cool, don't you think?
Goodbye.
Chichi, don't come.
Inside,inside.
No.
No. All this years serving that monster.
I have no absolution. I have no absolution.
No. No.
Santos?
You have my forgiveness.
Mom.
- Mom. - My child.
You are ready to come with me.
Goodbye, Leo. Thank you.
Guess what?
They taught me a recipe while I waited.
ALL SOUL'S DAY ONE YEAR LATER
Granny?
We'll need more Bread of the Dead.
A lot more Bread of the Dead.
They caught us!
What happened!
Let the party continue!
Today is All Soul's day I come to the party.
Dancing with Mariachis, eating mole and stew.
I'm already dead thin and bald.
They already prayed for me and I'm buried in the cemetery.
I'm already dead resting in peace...
... except for All Soul's day when I come to the party.
Father Godofredo!
Hello, child.
Your new mission, if you decide to accept it...
I accept!
At least let me finish, Leo.
The Llorona was seen in Xochimilco.
You need to stop her!
Good bye everyone!
See you during breakfast!
- I knew you were a dragon! - No.
I ate a very hot chili pepper.
Get it, old man! Get it.
Leo.
Here, for the journey.
Good bye, Leo.
I'll wait for you with hot tamales.
Take care, child.
Tell me, do you know where Xochimilco is?
THE END
My children!
