Beneath Still Waters

BENEATH STILL WATERS

Ready?

Come on, let's go.

Luis, come on.

I'm going for it

Come on, Captain Lightning.

You're not scared, are you?

Shut up. L'm not scared.

Just do it.

Come on. Let's go!

Wow! Look at that!

Come on.

Look at this!

- Hey, what are you doing?

- Who cares?

This whole town will

be under water in a week.

Look at that!

Come on.

Listen. There are people in there.

No way. There can't be.

Well, there f***ing are.

You hear that?

Let's go.

No. Someone might be trapped.

Come on.

Come on!

Teo, wait! Teo!

Teo?

Teo!

Luis! They're down here!

Teo! Teo, what's going on?

They're going to drown.

We've got to help them.

Over here.

Don't bother with them.

Untie my hands.

Teo, no!

Come back!

Teo!

Come back!

Help! Help! Help me!

Help! Help! Help me!

Help, someone!

Clara. Clara.

Clara.

Granddad?

Clara.

He's coming.

Clara, are you okay?

Yes. It's nothing. It's just...

It's just that I fell asleep.

Another bad dream?

Is this some kind of ghost book?

Honey, let it out.

Or, hell, you'II end up

as crazy as...

As what? My grandfather?

Susana, what do you think

happens when we die?

Don't be so morbid.

Sometimes I just...

I lie in bed in the dark,

and I think that...

before I was born, I didn't exist.

After I die, I won't exist.

And it makes me feel terrible.

Don't you think

we have a soul?

Do you think this is all there is?

Maybe the soul

is like a drop of water...

and when we die,

we join all of our loved ones.

I just feel like something really bad

is going to happen.

Oh, come on.

What you need

is to have a little fun.

Let's get wet.

It's cold.

Come on, Clara.

No, no, no.

Oh, yeah, let's go.

Come on.

Oh, it's cold. It's so cold.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

- Did you feel that?

- What?

Something down there.

Speaking of fun.

Want a beer? Here!

Let's go for a ride

on my jet ski.

Sure.

- L'm freezing.

- Come on, girl.

Have a little fun.

Clara. Go for it.

Antonio? Antonio.

Where are you?

Come out, come out,

wherever you are!

Antonio!

Stop!

Antonio, don't you dare.

My God!

My God! Antonio! Susana!

Wait! Susana!

What's wrong?

What's that? Oh, my God!

I don't know, like somebody

was grabbing me.

It's okay. It's okay.

Guess I just got stuck.

Huh? Huh? Oh, f***.

Oh, help! Help!

Antonio?

Getting in my pants!

Woof! Woof woof!

- Stop it!

- Dick.

Stop that, you naughty thing!

Stupid...

What the...

What the f***?

Clara!

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

Oh, no.

L'd just like

a little advance, yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

Will I get some pictures?

Marcia, come on.

Of course you'II get pictures.

You'II get great stuff.

These towns are built

on dirty politics.

Listen, I want some really

good stuff this time, okay?

Yeah, look, I understand.

You want pictures,

and that's what you'II get.

The cool underwater stuff.

Of course

I've got permission.

L've got all the permits I need.

- Sh*t.

- Dan!

No, not you.

Marcia. Marcia.

Marcia, hello?

- Dan!

- Marcia? Marcia?

This is Teresa Borgia reporting

from the Debaria Dam

on the occasion

of the 40th anniversary

of the flooding of this dry valley.

Now there is a new air

of optimism in the area.

Local people look

for an economic boom

with an increase in tourism and

return revenue for local business.

Hey, you!

Get out of the shot!

Oh. Sorry.

Now, 40 years later,

Debaria celebrates

the building of the dam

that brought prosperity

to the dry valley.

Okay, and cut.

That was a good take?

Yeah, sure.

Okay. How are we

doing for time?

Oh, got to wrap it

up now, Teresa.

Okay. But I need at least

one more shot from the water.

CNN won't buy a piece

without more angles.

CNN, huh?

Yeah.

Well, it's a spec piece.

You're not from

around here, are you?

No.

What, you're a photographer?

Hmm?

Photojournalist.

Doing a piece on the town

that drowned.

And the celebration.

Yeah.

Maria. Oops.

Hello, baby.

Mom, something horrible's

happened to Antonio.

What?

He was in the water.

I think he just drowned.

Oh, my God.

We're in Los Olmos Cove.

Okay, listen,

I'II be right over. Okay?

Okay.

Guys, you might want

to come along on this.

- Los Olmos Cove.

- Okay.

See you.

Bye!

Engineer's office.

Get Porquillo to the phone.

He needs to hear this.

Putting you through.

Please hold.

Porquillo,

we've got a problem.

- Hello?

- Julio.

- Hello!

- Julio.

Rosa? Rosa.

You're spineless, Julio.

In trouble again, are you...

now that I'm not around

to bail you out?

Not around? You're dead!

Stop!

I blame you, Julio.

That's negligence.

Then bye-bye, job.

Bye-bye, pension.

Who'II look after you then?

You can keep a secret,

can't you?

Julio?

Porquillo.

Oh, excuse me. L'm sorry.

Julio, what's the problem?

Oh, no, no, no.

Everything's fine.

Nothing's wrong.

Nothing at all.

Nothing at all.

Mom, it wasn't normal,

what happened.

I think it's the lake.

It was an accident, Clara.

Just a terrible

and tragic accident.

I don't like this place.

Granddad's dead,

so why are we still here?

I want to go back to London.

Give it a chance, honey.

I was born here.

And I've got a job.

Why don't you ever listen to me?

I do, honey. I do.

Guys! It's time to work.

Come on.

Mayor Luca.

Do you have any comments

about this unfortunate event?

God damn it, Teresa.

Shut it off.

- Just stop it. Later, Teresa. Later.

- But...

I'II talk to you later, okay?

Okay. Cut.

Please. Take this.

Find anything yet?

So far, nothing.

It... The body, I mean...

will pop up eventually, right?

The body'II probably

surface sometime tomorrow.

No problem, then.

Bodies tend

to pop up quickly, Luca.

Gasses build up and... they float.

That is, unless something else

happens to them.

If they're punctured,

they get soggy.

Just find it.

I don't want anything getting

in the way of the celebration.

I don't think they'II get in the way

of the celebration, Mayor.

- They?

- The police dive team.

They're coming in

from Madrid. Tomorrow.

Dive team?

There's no reason to make

a big thing about this.

Excuse me, sir.

The show must go on.

Please, Teresa.

If you want, shoot.

Okay. Line it up.

Our primary concern

is to do everything

in our power to find your son.

Hey! You got something?

No, Captain.

Just a funny wave.

Captain! Wait a minute!

What are you doing?

Get out of here.

Go!

Get out of here.

- Get that rig over here.

- Hell of a current down there.

Who are you?

Dan Quarry.

You know, I saw something

really strange down there.

Like a crack

in the wall of the dam.

What are you,

some kind of engineer?

Nah. L'm a photojournalist.

L'm working on the story

of the sunken town.

Got swept away by a current.

And a boy disappeared

where you showed up.

Hey! I didn't have

anything to do with that.

Officer Gonzales,

take him into custody.

No, he's right.

I saw him at the dam

right before my daughter called.

He'd just arrived,

so he couldn't have had

anything to do

with Antonio's drowning.
