I'll never let you leave again.

Actually, that's what I wanted

- to talk to you about.

- No.

Don't you see how long

I've been

alone? Every night I prayed

that you were okay,

that you'd come back.

By the way, you look awful,

but I love you anyway.

And now that you're here...

I live for your kisses,

your thankless smile.

Your beautiful caresses,

the joy you bring me.

That you won't let me down,

that you'll never leave me.

Lying here in bed,

I've never needed you more.

I'm the one waiting for you.

I'm the one weeping for you.

I'm the one longing for you.

Every minute, every hour.

I'm dying to kiss you,

to kiss you all night long.

I'm dying to tell you

that the world is wrong.

I'm dying to kiss you,

to kiss you all night long.

I'm dying to tell you

that the world is wrong.

The world is wrong!

The world is wrong!

That song was pretty f***ing cheesy!

At least the lyrics were true,

- unlike yours.

- What?

"I'm 7 times as strong as you? "

Bullshit.

- I was.

- Oh, yeah?

You were 7 times stronger

than a guy who weighed 200 pounds?

- In proportion.

- Oh, in proportion!

You should have said so!

"I'm 7 times as strong as you, in

proportion." Then you're not lying.

Get off my case!

Picky, picky!

That cap of yours is a disgrace.

"We're Smurfs! "

Give yourselves a last name!

Jerk!

Well, well.

How's that for grumpy?

Diego.

Diego...

Diego?

Girl, I'm leaving you.

I'm in bad shape.

The war was a lonely place

for a man...

I made friends with

Alfrodo and Samti,

two really friendly midgets

with hairy legs.

They told me about the ring's power

and one thing led to another...

That's impossible!

Yes, it is possible.

Amazingly, what's in the photo

can be done.

Hobbits are incredibly flexible.

I have something important

to tell you.

- Did you kill someone else?

- Yes.

I mean, no.

No, for God's sake.

It's something else.

I want you to know how grateful I am

you took me in.

Will you do anything for me?

Of course.

Then marry me.

Or kill me.

Here we go again!

- Pedro, why?

- You know why, Ramira.

Look at my hand.

Only inches away from yours.

Well, not now.

Okay, there.

For me, this is an impossible

distance. A chimera.

You see?

She was right. You can move.

- She said she saw you sleepwalking.

- I don't believe that.

If it were true,

you and I could leave tonight,

together,

galloping naked on a lively steed,

our bodies rubbing against each other

as we penetrate the Galician steppe,

your breasts and the horse

bouncing in unison...

But I can't leave my sister

at a time like this,

destroyed by Simeon's disappearance.

Little Simeon.

That's right.

Maybe I could help find him.

- You? How?

- My mom knows

a woman with powers in my village.

She predicts stuff, sees dead people,

opens walnuts with her ass...

- Can she contact missing people?

- Yeah.

She talks to Joan the Mad

- on the Ouija board.

- We must find her.

It's impossible.

Her husband was Philip the Handsome.

He died centuries ago.

No, I mean the woman

who contacts missing people.

Oh, her. Of course.

Tomorrow we'll go to my village

and fix this whole mess.

We'll find Simeon, you'll see.

Alive, dead,

in chunks of charred flesh...

TYPICAL ALMODOVARIAN VILLAGE

To return...

wrinkled by age,

my face made silver

by the snows of time.

To feel...

life is but a gasp,

20 years is nothing,

a feverish gaze, wandering the

shadows, calling out your name.

To live...

clutching your soul...

Hands off, father!

That woman!

It's her!

It's Maligna!

Maligna!

No!

No!

Hit the brakes, damn it!

We hit an old lady! I said left!

- My left or your left?

- You're clueless! Let me out!

Please, step back!

Step back, please!

Okay, where's the marble?

You're looking confused.

Lady, please.

Excuse me, did you see

an old woman get run over?

Yeah, over there.

The lady likes to gamble.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Help me!

- Help me!

- A doctor?

Is there a doctor in the house?

Is there a doctor in the house?

You! You're a doctor!

What makes you say that?

Please hurry!

Do something, please!

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.

They say I'm a doctor.

Anybody got a defibrillator?

Excuse me, sorry.

I think she's dead.

Oh my God!

Girlfriend, look who's here!

Make yourselves comfortable.

Not you, you're stiffer

than Stonehenge!

Forgive the mess,

my cleaning lady hasn't come.

Because she drinks.

Out of the closet?

Try out of the minibar!

What was I going to tell you?

Oh, yeah. You were right.

Maligna Escobero was dangerous.

We'd been after her for a while.

We searched her house

and look what we found.

- God!

- You said it.

Back in the 80's she was a

celebrity. An icon.

Take a look at her record.

Maligna was Horace Hedgehog.

Apparently

she got sick of the monotony and decided

to go with a more modern look.

But the kids

didn't accept the change

and her show got cancelled.

She went downhill from there.

She did her best to find work,

but the city can be especially hard

on a seven-foot hedgehog.

Eventually, insane and drunk,

she decided to kidnap children

for revenge.

Oh my God!

My poor Samuel!

Simeon.

- Right.

- But no.

Maligna didn't kidnap your son.

The day he disappeared

there was a bank robbery.

We'd lost her trail since then,

until today.

We can all celebrate.

She's dead.

How about a cocktail, sunshine?

Is my son alive or dead?

Dead.

I'm just kidding, silly!

I don't know and I don't care.

That's out of my jurisdiction.

Ramira, let's find that friend of

your mother's. That's all we can do.

Who taped "Cockeye the Sailor"?

This isn't for kicks,

it's for my disease.

Agustica,

will Mom be long?

I don't think so.

She usually appears

at this hour!

Act like you can't see her.

She thinks she's a ghost.

Somebody farted.

Mother!

Ramira has come to ask you

about your medium.

Incredible!

A flying glass.

Is that you, Mom?

Yes, Ramira, my daughter.

- I'm your mother.

- Hi, Mom.

Why have you come home?

I need your medium's phone number.

F***!

This is all so paranormal.

I need you to help me

find my son.

This is her number.

Damn, this pen doesn't work.

Another one.

Here it is.

Okay, catch you later.

Goodbye!

I feel a pwesence...

What did she say?

A vewy stwong pwesence.

We brought the wrong presents.

Babalan, tuwn on the stwobe light.

The what light?

The stwobe light, damn it!

Oh, the disco light.

In order to recreate

the spiritual ambience,

I will need absolute silence,

some pork grinds and a beer.

This lullaby will put Gerarda

in a trance

to enter into contact

with the missing.

I think that's it.

Gerarda.

Are you asleep?

Let's continue.

If there is a presence

in this house,

let it appear...

now.

It's moving by itself!

Has that ever happened before?

My husband

used to do the same thing.

There is clearly

a very strong presence here.

And raunchy too.

Gerarda, you can open your eyes now.

I feel a presence around me.
