Hi!
Hi.
Hello. Two glasses of wine, please.
Paco: Fucking foreigners.
They learn Spanish just to get drunk.
[laughter]
Paul: It's not nice laughing at the tourists.
[fly buzzing]
Bartender: The hunter, hunted. [laughter]
You shut up. Serve us another round.
After I help this gentlemen.
Hi. Good morning.
Hello.
Paco: Is our wine coming or what?
Waitress: Right away.
Man: British? Paul: Yes.
Paco: The smart one has spoken. [laughter]
Man: You speak very good Spanish.
Paul: My grandma was from this region.
She married my grandpa
And they both moved to England.
I'm practically from around here.
From around here! [all laugh]
What was your grandma's name?
Uh, Begoña. Begoña Colomo.
I remember her.
And the Englishman.
They lived at the house by the River.
But it's abandoned now.
Not anymore. I bought the house a year ago.
It's mine now.
Man: Your grandpa loved hunting.
During the time he spent here...
Hi. Come on.
Who's that?
Who are those?
Englishmen.
Careful, Lechón.
One of them speaks Spanish.
Right, Antonio?
Leave the bottle.
Man: Two nights ago, a tree got hit by lightning
And fell in the middle of the road.
So, to get to your grandma's house,
You should now take the road that starts at the end of town.
To the left. Left.
Left, yes.
If all those lazy men didn't spend the whole day here,
The road would be fixed by now.
Fuck me!
[silence]
Come on, I think we should get going.
It's getting late. Yeah.
We have to get going.
Paul: Thanks for the directions.
I'm paying this tab.
Oh, no. I'll...Pay this time.
Thank you.
Man: That car won't stand it.
What?
Man: It won't last two kilometers.
In your place, I'd take the other one only.
Paul: Huh. Thank you.
Paul: Goodbye. Man: Goodbye.
Hello?
Hello.
Take it easy.
Calm down. We're not going to hurt you.
Hi.
Calm down, dear. Nothing is gonna happen to you.
We won't do anything bad to you.
Take this.
[girl yelping]
Calm down, I'll take it off afterwards. Take it easy.
Easy, easy.
That's it, dear, that's it.
Easy, easy, that's it, that's it.
That's it. It's just water. Just water.
Shh! Shh!
Shh. Shh.
Shh. That's it.
Look, you see? It's just water.
It's not a big deal, see?
(music) I have a little doll (music)
(music) dressed up in blue (music)
Isabel: (music) I have a little doll dressed up in blue (music)
(music) with her little shirt and her corset (music)
Calm down, everything is ok.
Hi. Good morning.
Excuse us, we're the ones from the bar.
[sighs] yes, I remember.
What do you want?
Excuse us. I'm Paco, and these two are my brothers.
Paco: Lechón and Chat, Antonio.
He's our cousin Miguel.
A little girl from the town has just disappeared,
And we believe she got lost in the Forest.
A little girl?
We've been searching for her since dawn.
Since this is the only house in the area,
Perhaps you've seen her.
No, we haven't seen her.
We hoped you knew something.
I'm sorry.
We haven't seen anybody around here.
You're the first ones.
Yeah. This is a remote area.
Nobody comes here anymore.
[door squeaks]
And your friends?
Mm. They're sleeping.
It's very early.
We just don't want the little girl to be hurt.
I'm going with you to help you search.
Ha ha, it's ok, uh...
We can take care of it ourselves.
We didn't mean to bother.
Not at all. Really.
Just give me a moment.
You know? My dog disappeared too.
City dogs become crazy in the Forest.
They get disoriented.
Don't worry. As soon as this fog clears up,
He'll come back for sure.
Sure. He's very smart.
Same as this one. Isn't it true, you damned dog?
You know, you speak Spanish very well.
Almost better than these.
[all laugh]
I'm learning.
Yeah, that's what I tell them to do: Learn.
Well...
It will be better to spread out.
Miguel, you take Lechón and Antonio.
I'll go with this one.
Why he has to come with us?
Because I say so.
You follow the River.
Don't worry. You'll be safe with me.
I don't worry.
What's the girl's name?
Nerea.
Her name is Nerea.
Like her mother.
She's our sister, you know.
Leave her mother out of this.
Let's go. We don't have the whole day.
Do you want one?
Thanks.
We don't smoke anything else here.
Beautiful shotgun.
Do you hunt a lot?
I did when I was younger.
I started again recently.
It's like riding a bike.
You don't forget how.
Are you a good shooter?
I'm better now than before.
See that tree branch?
Yeah.
Good. [chuckles]
I'm going this way.
Let's meet by that car.
Be careful.
What?
You may get lost.
We can end up searching for you too.
Just in case, don't stray too far.
It can be dangerous.
Good morning.
Isabel: Good morning.
Forgive us for intruding like this.
We've spent the whole morning walking around the Forest,
And we thought you could offer us something to drink.
Isabel: Sure, sure. Take a seat, please.
You're very kind.
Isabel: Take off your coats. Get comfortable.
Lechón: Thank you. What do you say?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
A big Storm is coming.
Even the birds are staying in their nests.
[chuckles]
Would you like some hot coffee? I just made it.
Well, yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Cream? Sugar?
No, thanks.
We like it strong.
No sugar.
Yes, good.
Where there's a woman's hand...
And where's the other one?
The other one?
Yes, the other one.
The one with the retarded face.
Isabel: He's coming back soon.
Right.
He's getting rotten.
What?
The rabbit. He's getting rotten.
Can't you smell it? [inhales deeply]
Tell them to leave.
What does she say? Isabel: Nothing.
Nothing?
Isabel: Please, leave us alone.
We got many things to do.
Why don't we dance?
It's been a while since I danced with a beautiful woman.
In the town, only the ugly ones dance with me.
Antonio. Look for a romantic song.
The radio doesn't work.
(music) I said, "father, change my name" (music)
That one. Leave that one on.
Get out, please.
Just one dance. One dance and we leave, I promise.
Tell her to be nice with me, it's only a dance.
(music) lover, lover, lover, lover (music)
(music) lover, lover, lover, come back to me (music)
That's it. Like this.
That's it.
(music) lover, lover, lover, lover (music)
(music) lover, lover, lover, come back to me (music)
Put the volume up!
(music) I mean it as a kind of trial (music)
What are you waiting for? Dance with the other one.
Lechón: Go. I don't feel like it.
Don't be rude. She feels like it.
Lechón: Isn't that right?
Don't you think he's quite handsome?
Women fight for him in our town.
And the idiot doesn't do anything about it.
I think he's gay.
(music) yes, and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover (music)
Lechón: And you don't play the fool. What do you think?
That I didn't notice how you stared at me at the bar?
Huh? Please let go of me.
"plisletgofmi"? I like your voice.
And I like your mouth even more.
Easy, woman.
The little girl is upstairs.
Don't hurt us, please.
Wow, finally the bird sang.
You heard her, Antonio. Go get the kid.
Laisse-moi.
We shouldn't. Go upstairs, damn it!
And you, if you don't want your friend to lose her teeth,
Stay where you are and shut up. Ok?
You already got what you want.
Please, get out. I won't say anything.
Lechón: Enough. It's over.
You stay still. I'll be the one moving you, ok?
[glass breaks]
Go out and keep watch.
We already have the kid.
Out, I said!
Or you want me to crush your head?
Tell her I'm gonna take the knife away,
But she better not try anything.
Come on, tell her.
[girl screaming]
Isabel: He's going to take the knife away.
Please let him finish, and they'll go away.
Good. I see you understood.
Easy, easy. Calm down.
What about the police?
We better go tell them.
The civil guard? They don't care.
Our problems make them laugh.
Here everybody minds their own business.
But her mother will be worried.
Leave her mother out.
Our sister is a good woman.
It's not her fault.
I didn't mean to offend.
[thunder]
I must go back.
Go back?
I must go back to my friends.
You better go to the police.
This is serious.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not a laughing matter.
This place is very peaceful.
Only humble, hard-working people live here.
Perhaps we're not as learned as you are.
But we're decent people and we don't like trouble.
And if you don't like one problem,
You lock her away like an animal.
You wouldn't understand.
Some things are better kept secret.
If you offend God, you have to pay.
And the girl? Who did she offend?
Sometimes the righteous pay for the sinners.
Look...
She's a good girl.
I wouldn't want her to be hurt.
Why did you leave the house deserted?
The house is not deserted.
I know it's not.
[twig snaps]
Ooh!
What the fuck did you do, idiot?
If he doesn't understand the words, what the hell?
Besides, I was getting bored. Fuck it.
I didn't hit him that hard.
Shut up. You almost broke his skull.
Give me the canteen.
Wake up! Do you hear me?
Hey, hey!
[coughing]
We're gonna leave you here.
We're going to pick up the girl,
And then we'll be back.
Do you understand me?
After things cool down,
You and me will have a talk.
Come on. Carry him.
Miguel: Let's see if his dizziness goes away now.
We're gonna leave you here. Locked.
[vomits] it's for your own good.
You couldn't find your way out of the Forest.
We'll be back in a couple of hours.
You have time to think it over--
What's best for you.
I can walk, I'm ok.
Let him walk in by himself.
Oh!
[thunder]
[gunshot]
Don't fucking kill him.
Fuck.
[thunder]
There he is!
[gunshot] aah!
Fuck, I told you not to shoot at him.
If we don't get him, we're fucked.
Give me that. Let's go.
Attack, attack. He's here!
Son of a bitch.
Aah!
[shouts]
Don't move...
Or I'll blow your fuckin' head off.
Where are the others?
Where are they?
Are you ok?
What about Lechón?
Dead.
Dead?
Antonio: In the house.
Miguel?
Hello. Sorry to bother you.
We had a problem with our car.
We ran out of gas.
Can we use your phone?
I'm sorry, we don't have one.
There are no phones in this town.
But if I can be of any help...
You better come in. You're soaked.
Don't you want to come in?
You're going to catch pneumonia.
Thank you.
Poor kid, she must be so cold.
Yes, she's exhausted. She fell asleep.
[in Spanish] girl ok, thanks.
Come in.
[footsteps]
Man: What's going on?
English people, dad. They ran out of gas.
Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
This is a bad place to run out of gas.
More so in this weather.
Yes.
Go on. Go to the kitchen and fix them something to eat.
Thank you very much. You're welcome.
Can you please tell him to leave the shotgun somewhere?
The devil loads them.
Thanks.
My daughter will fix you something to help you get warm.
Isabel: Thanks. You're very kind. Man: Don't mention it.
Upstairs I have towels, some clothes, if you want to change.
While your clothes get dry.
Isabel: Very well.
Man: Or I can lend you some gas and drive you back to your car.
But with the roads full of mud, that won't be advisable.
Isabel: Perhaps he could take us to the--
Should we go up?
There are two empty rooms where you can change.
Yes, yes. This way.
Come on, let's go.
[pounding on door] woman: Mister, please, what's going on?
I don't understand you.
Man: Are you ok? Go check what's going on upstairs.
Please...
Where's Paul?
Calm down.
Son of a bitch.
I got you, asshole.
Give me the girl.
I beg you, one last time, give me back the girl.
She's mine.
Don't you see she's crying?
Don't make me kill you!
[music box playing]
Man: You'll have to come with me to see the civil guard.
Let's go. Get into the car.
Man: Get into the car.
Did you understand?
You understood, right?
