The Valdemar Legacy II: The Forbidden Shadow Page #4

---

Somebody

scares the victims

and makes them beg.

Then they record the moment.

If you look closely,

the bars and chains are fake.

They create false hope

and they can play

over and over again.

A taser gun.

It's charged.

Why are we here?

What is this place?

This must be the basement

of the Valdemar mansion.

How do you know?

Because I was valuing the house.

Why lock us in?

They didn't lock us in.

They kidnapped us.

What do you mean?

How do you know?

Because I disappeared four days ago.

And they locked me up,

among other things.

So I know what I'm talking about.

God!

- Who did that to you?

- Damaso.

The guy who locked us in here.

And trust me, this is nothing

compared to the rest of the place.

- The day I got here I found.

- Luisa, excuse me.

Tell us your adventures

some other time.

- We need to get out of here.

- Yeah, but how?

Okay, everybody calm down.

We don't know what they want from us.

All I know is

I was sent here by your boss,

Maximilian Colvin.

So I suggest we try

to figure this out together.

At least that way we'll be ready

for whatever happens.

All right?

You mean we're somehow

involved in all this?

Yeah, but how?

The only thing we have in common

is we work together

valuing historic estates.

Besides, our supervisor is missing.

Orquicia isn't here.

- Pablo is dead.

- What?

What do you mean, dead?

I found him in the house.

Dismembered.

Please!

What about you?

You act like you knew him.

What does that matter?

There's still no link between us.

Well, there is now.

- Is everything ready?

- Yes, sir.

Everything is going

according to plan.

No.

How could I be so stupid?

When they told me about the case

they accidentally mentioned

Orquicia was missing.

I tried to find out more,

but they gave me the run around

and I got sidetracked.

Hours of myths and legends

on the train,

all just to keep me

from solving your case.

Can you get to the point?

Yeah.

A few months ago, Pablo and I

discovered that Inmoberance

was making a series of large

undetected money transfers.

They were so irregular

we thought we could set ourselves up

with a piece of the action.

The amount was always the same,

one million euros,

reaching a total

of more than 650 million euros,

ready to be transferred.

All we needed

was a plate to duplicate

the seal used on company documents.

Then, after the summer,

we found part of the plate,

but Pablo

lost interest and said that...

he had come across something

much bigger,

something much better than money.

He never told me what it was.

And I never heard from him again.

Until today.

After the summer.

That's when we were in a meeting

and that guy showed up.

Remember?

A strange man walked in

and said we needed to value

the Valdemar mansion,

as soon as possible.

Orquicia volunteered,

and named us as his support team.

Wait a minute. This is all about

you two trying to embezzle money?

Take it easy.

And don't point at me.

What we had in mind

never got past the planning stage.

Yeah, and what about the plates?

The fat guy was capable of anything.

And involving us to get rid of him

isn't that far-fetched.

Yeah, right. First of all, the fat guy

had a name, and it was Pablo.

Have the decency to not insult him

in the grave.

Leave me alone!

First somebody tell me how the hell

they found out about something

that we were only considering.

I can't believe I'm here

because of a couple of schmucks!

Take it easy!

Don't even talk to her.

Stop it! We all got each other

into this, like a vicious circle.

You, detective, got Orquicia into it,

who involved us

by naming us as his team.

We sent Luisa to value the house,

and when she went missing,

you were hired to find her.

F***!

Santiago.

Santi, it's me, Luisa.

What are you doing?

- What if he's one of them?

- He is.

He helped me before.

But my adventures

- were boring you.

- Stop it.

Some of us

want to get out of here.

Santiago,

can you hear me?

Luisa. They caught you again?

Yeah, I'm afraid they caught us all.

Then we haven't got much time.

Can you open the door?

Yes, I can.

But if I do, I want you to do

- something for me.

- Anything.

Okay.

Here's the deal. I'll open the door

and show you the way to Luisa's car.

In return, you have to take

someone else with you.

Someone else?

There are more people locked up.

Promise me.

- Okay, we promise.

- Anything.

You promised.

You can't take it back.

Who is this kid?

Thank you, Santi!

I'm not a kid, I'm a man.

I can't see anything.

- Here.

- Thank you.

Let's go.

You promised.

You said you'd help.

F*** the promise.

I'm getting out of here.

Eduardo, have you any idea

what Santiago is risking for us?

No, I don't. What I do know

is his friends locked us up.

I have no one to thank

for trying to escape.

Wait a minute.

- Come on. This way?

- Yes.

- What's wrong?

- I don't want to leave the group.

Or you either.

Come on.

Honey.

Let's go.

Come on, quick.

Okay, Santiago.

That's your name, right?

Santiago. I'm Nicolas.

Now tell me.

Who's coming with us?

Someone very special.

You're about to meet him.

Yeah, sure. He must be.

Hold on a minute.

I did some bad things.

I was ordered to kidnap a baby.

What are you talking about?

When I said no,

Damaso broke something in my ear.

The gypsy's baby?

What did you do with him? Where is he?

He's downstairs sleeping.

This guy's a f***ing wacko.

Take it easy, okay?

Calm down.

He's our only way out of here.

And we're still in time to stop

something terrible from happening.

I know you hate me.

But I stole him and hid him myself

to protect him from Damaso.

The baby had better be okay.

Go on.

I said move it!

And don't turn around.

Don't look at me, weirdo!

Ana, give me your hand.

We're not going the right way.

How do you know?

You... That way?

We're going that way?

Are you f***ing nuts?

The exit is the other way.

No, we're close.

It's down there.

Then we'll go out the other side.

How? I don't remember any back doors

in the plans.

There's a cave under the mansion

with an exit to the outside.

- I'm not going in a cave.

- Me neither.

It's less than a mile long

and it opens out into a clearing.

It's the best short cut.

If you want, we can turn around

and cross the mansion.

- We have no choice.

- You believe him?

- What choice do we have?

- Let's go.

- Follow him.

- Move it.

Come on!

Wait here.

They ordered me to keep him here.

I know it's wrong

and his mother's

probably looking for him.

I don't know anything about babies.

But I did the best I could.

You have to take him with you.

Crazy son of a b*tch!

- We're following this guy?

- You know the way out?

- Calm down!

- Shut up!

You don't, do you?

We have no choice.

Yes, we do.

Let him help us.

Okay, we have no choice.

Okay, we'll take him.

But you show us the way out.

Come on, let's go.

Thank you. Thank you all.

Santiago, do you know why

they locked us up?
