Our best cognac, your Majesty.
Do you think I am here for a drink?
A few days ago, a number of my men were attacked,
and left for dead.
They had stopped at the river for water.
Killed? By Who? Bandoleros?
One of my men got away.
Last night, he went missing, with two others.
Three men?
Disappeared! While we were celebrating!
We'll send out a search party, my liege
It's already done.
I've had them looking all night.
Good.
Then, I'm sure they will be found
My question is:
What kind of town is Solaz del Mar?
A man shouted us down as we arrived.
people here openly question the Alliance.
If you mean the American lady, she is only passing through...
Guests should not be so outspoken.
I tried to make her see that.
In any case,
I sense distrust here, reluctance.
And it makes me wonder...
is your town worthy of our continued beneficence?
We value our place in the Alliance, sir.
We appreciate the security and the gifts El Alcazar offers.
Then prove it.
Good.
Or else we will leave here immediately.
And I don't know when
or if... we will return.
There are other towns, you know,
With other girls.
Such shit.
His men were killed out by the river -
Yes.
where the Americans saved Justina and Roberto.
You think the two things are connected?
See what you can find out.
Were any vehicles taken? Any horses missing?
We need to show we take this matter seriously.
And the Americans?
The sooner they leave, the better.
Yes, boss.
Good morning.
It seemed you spoke out of turn last night.
From what I could see.
I didn't mean to upset anyone
or put you in an awkward position.
No.
In fact, I liked it.
Fede looked disturbed. So did Guillermo.
They're not used to someone with the courage to speak her mind.
Mm.
Well, I am a guest.
I used to know when to keep my mouth shut.
Maybe, because you're a guest, you don't need to.
We're still taking what we need from here
and hitting the road, right?
I'm worried.
Don't be.
You know I had to do that.
No, I get it, but...
But nothing.
Come on. Eyes on the prize.
Right?
Daryl.
Just remember, hot dogs.
Daryl.
No, that's what we're about now...
Eating them fucking hot dogs.
And beans.
Look, we're going home, alright?
Let's try and stay out of everybody's shit.
Okay?
I don't know.
I got a bad feeling.
Well, those guys ain't coming back.
I wouldn't worry about it.
What?
That's not even what I'm talking about.
Look, I'm going to the boat.
Your job is to get that off the wall.
What, you're gonna steal their solar panel?
Yeah, and anything else we need.
Daryl.
Daryl!
Look, I got to thinking last night.
I mean, it's great that Justina wasn't chosen.
Well, what about Alba?
Alba? Who the fuck's Alba?
Hot dogs, remember.
How can we just let Alba go?
There's nothing we can do for her.
But at least there's time for us.
What are you planning?
Leave it to me.
I'll take care of it.
You're crazy.
You know that, no?
Yes
For you.
For me?
So you can always find me.
It's a compass.
Thank you.
We should go.
You guys go up the hill.
We will check the other side of town.
We have to check the old church.
What was that about?
Three Alcazar men are missing.
Missing, huh?
They disappeared last night, sometime during the feast.
So now they try to find them.
They probably got drunk, wake up in an alley somewhere.
Who cares anyway? I hate them all.
So you think you can help me fix this boat?
I know somebody who I think can help you.
Cool. How far is it?
Out on the coast. Not too far from the beach.
Great. Sooner we can fix this boat, sooner we can leave.
This place is out in the middle of nowhere.
"The back of the world"
Does an old sailor live out there or something?
Yes.
A ship's captain.
Anybody home?
I have olives.
You sure this guy's gonna help us?
Yeah, trust me.
Hello!
Roberto.
Who's your friend?
Spicy, yes?
El Alcazar brought paprika from la Vera.
Paprika. In exchange for someone's daughter.
What a bargain.
She also hates El Alcazar.
This lady's your boat captain?
"This lady" spent 30 years commanding cruise liners
all over the world.
You know who was always the rudest passengers?
Americans.
I did not know she spoke English.
What do you want for your spicy olives?
Need help fixing a boat.
I imagine so.
You and your companion.
I have a telescope.
Most people don't sail their boats right onto the beach.
We hit a storm.
That wasn't our plan.
Clearly. What is the plan?
To go home.
To America?
So you gonna help me or what?
I'm a little low on gunpowder.
How low? Five kilos.
He'll get it.
Me?
Got it running again.
Ah!
For now at least.
What princes you are!
Thank you.
Okay, truck is fixed.
Shall we take a look at that death trap of yours?
Can I help you with something?
Oh, uh, no.
I'm good. Just getting some air.
Blood.
Bandage needs changing.
Come on.
So Fede and you...
no love story there, huh?
Ah, it's a very old... what's the word?
um...
quarrel.
From when we were young.
Before I went to Barcelona.
Barcelona?
I have a friend whose brother lived there back before.
Mm-hmm. Mm.
It was a magical place.
But after la Caida, I came home.
To Solaz.
To raise my boy.
Roberto's mother...
we'd lost her by then in an accident.
Let me see this.
Better.
Is that how you got hurt?
How do you mean?
In the accident?
You'll leave soon.
I think we know each other well enough.
She hit the rocks. You got holes.
Below the waterline.
I'll patch it up.
No wonder he's lost.
Oh, you cannot just patch it up.
The rudder is damaged.
I'll fix it.
No, you cannot just fix rudder.
Got to be someplace I can find another one.
I suppose it's possible.
If you could even find a similar boat.
Tell me where to look.
This one never gives up, right?
I think I know a place.
You can take my truck.
Great. Let's go.
No.
I bring you to my house,
helped your friend, and got you a captain.
Before I do anything more,
I want to make sure my demands are clear.
Your demands? What demands?
Justina and me.
We come on the boat with you.
Or else you are on your own.
Guess I'm on my own, then.
You want my ethanol?
You want my truck?
Take them to America.
I'm sorry. I'm...
It's okay.
Have a chair.
You can even bring the sword.
Please.
What about Jersey? Have you been there?
It's a United State.
Yeah, I know Jersey.
I've told Justina all about America.
What do you know about it?
Many things. From the Boss.
Bruce...
Springsteen.
Yeah, I heard of him.
I know his songs.
Well, I know America very well
and now I will see it.
We got to get that rudder first.
I'm not worried.
They leave things for loved ones
and write messages on the stones to honor and pray for them.
Why here?
Well, this is the Camino de Santiago,
the way of Saint James.
For hundreds of years,
pilgrims walk this trail in search of something.
Hm. Like what?
Peace, I guess.
Or hope.
The boatyard is just around the next bend.
I bet you live with him in a big house.
He has a name.
I haven't heard it yet.
He must be looking for me.
Did he do this?
I had an accident. Riding a horse.
You're here now...
Stay.
How handsome you are.
We have a few days.
I'll come see you again.
Look, I get it.
Ran away a whole bunch of times.
Why?
Different reasons.
Hey! Daryl!
Get back here, you little bastard!
It's complicated.
Not for me.
You'll see. It gets harder.
Life ain't like one of those songs you memorized.
That sounds like a thing my father would say.
Maybe you should listen to him.
I know why I'm leaving.
Maybe you're still trying to figure out why you did.
Ain't that the truth.
Hey!
I think I found something.
Come here.
This film is called "The Exterminating Angel."
It's about these people who got trapped in that house
and they don't know how to get out.
You built this place?
Little by little.
How did you get all these movies?
Mm.
When Roberto was young,
we would go on little missions to art houses.
To get old movies?
Seems pretty dangerous.
Ah. Would you not save a van Gogh,
a Picasso,
the Mona Lisa?
Cinema is the record of humanity.
When this hell ends, our children,
their children will need to know who we were.
You sound like Jerry.
He's another friend of mine back home.
Let's watch before the sun goes down.
The projector is hooked to a solar panel.
- Is it working? - Yeah.
Okay, almost.
One more.
Ah, we got it.
Yeah! Whoo!
There's something in the water.
Probably a fish. Come on, let's go.
No, no, no, it's not.
It wasn't fish.
Get on the beach.
It ain't safe.
Come on.
We'll find another one.
We should go back.
We ain't going back.
Leave it! We need it.
Hey!
I like your compass.
From him?
You won't tell?
I was young once. Yes, even me!
Uncle Fede would keep me in a cage, if he could.
He only wants to protect you.
- Ow! - He promised your father.
Mm.
Let me see.
Go get a clean bandage.
The key is hidden in a little box on your Uncle's table.
Who knows, you may even find a chocolate from El Alcazar.
Your uncle likes to hide it for himself...
Justina?
I have to speak to Roberto.
He's out with Daryl.
Sorry.
Hey.
Justina, if you... if you need somebody to talk to,
I'm somebody.
Last I checked.
Come here.
Sit down.
Why are we stopping?
Daryl.
What's that?
Used to belong to a kid I know.
Maybe he's got a new one by now.
It's my friend Alba.
The one that was chosen.
You saw how close she is with her mom.
Going away...
they will never survive without each other.
I'm so sorry.
I have no parents.
But I get to stay.
How is it fair?
It's not. None of this is fair.
I have to do something.
I can't just...
just let it happen.
I can't.
It's so frustrating, I know.
Feeling so helpless and angry.
So much so that you start to feel like it's your own fault.
Like if... if you could do something different
or if you could switch places, you could fix it.
But sometimes you can't.
Yeah.
You're right.
Thank you.
Mm. Wow.
I'll just be in my room.
Why?
Well, you're having company. I don't want to impose.
But you are the company.
Have a seat, please.
Is it good?
Mm..A lot.
Bueno.
Mm.
If it's of use on your boat,
I have an extra solar panel.
Mm.
That's a good idea. Never thought of that.
Sure.
And if you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
Anything.
Tools, candles...
food from my storeroom.
I'm sorry.
You really have been so generous.
And you saved my son's life.
You've done well raising him.
I'm not sure he would agree.
Yeah.
He's young. In love.
How do you compete with that?
yeah.
Justina.
Quite a young woman.
All the time thinking of others.
I was really sick.
I don't know what would have happened
if she hadn't talked Roberto into helping me.
Surviving six ofrendas.
Such luck.
She feels guilty.
As much as she loves Roberto,
I worried she might feel responsible,
that she...
what's the word? ...
that she might volunteer.
You ever hear of Ohio?
What is Ohio?
It's where I'm trying to get to.
It's a state.
It's like Jersey?
Yeah, like Jersey but flat.
Shit ton of corn.
Doña Marga?
Where's Justina?
You know, you're right.
I think you two are gonna like it in America.
El Alcazar has decided to depart our town early...
due to the loss of their men...
I've vowed all our resources to solve this mystery.
Justina?
Justina.
Justina!
May God be with you.
