I'm Not Afraid (No tengo miedo)

Am I dead?

- Miguel, where are you? - The witch ate him alive!

Come on, let's get out of here!

Miguel!

Miguel, where are you?

Chuy? Chuy, are you there?

I'M NOT AFRAID

And the game begins at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.

Denmark with the opening touch.

Lerby on the ball now, and here comes Larsen.

- Guerrero tries a tackle. - Here!

Denmark still with possession.

Jesper Olsen moving forward.

He plays it out wide on the right.

Denmark, with another attack.

- What a goal! - Goal by Eriksen!

The crowd roars!

Referee is giving a penalty. Jesper Olsen was breaking away there…

Come on, Miguel! You can do it.

Don't be afraid, Miguel!

He's gonna save it!

43 minutes gone, and he's in the box.

And he goes for the shot. What a finish!

- - Goal!

I'm a beast! Did you see that goal?

Are you okay, Miguel?

That wasn't a goal!

You were super scared, weren't you?

- Let's go. C'mon, Toño. - Pass it!

…give them the opening goal!

Denmark takes the lead--

- Get it, get it! - That's a penalty.

They're running the game. It feels like there's only one winner.

- The crowd is about-- -

Take it, then.

It's a penalty, then.

- Piece of shit. - Go ahead.

- These dumbass brats. - But you kicked it away, Calavera.

- Why does Chuy have to go get it? - Do you know where the ball went?

- Into the forest. - All the way down to the witch's house.

- What witch? - She lives with chaneques in the forest.

There's no such things as chaneques or witches.

They don't exist. Only in fairy tales, right?

He's just trying to scare us.

- I'm just warning you, okay? - Have you seen them before?

Me?

You think I'd be freaking stupid enough to go into the Misty Forest?

But what I do know is that a long time ago,

that was a convent, and a healer lived there.

And then one day, a Shaman from Catemaco told her to murder her own kids.

They say it was out of revenge.

After that, no one saw her leave her house again.

And everyone wondered

how she managed to survive all that time locked away.

Until one day, a boy went missing.

And they realized she was eating kids.

Kids like you.

No kid goes into the Misty Forest and comes back alive, okay?

But why is this the first time we're hearing this?

- They didn't wanna scare you. - You're making that up, Félix.

Go get the ball, Chuy. The match ain't over.

What are you, deaf?

- I said, "Go get the ball!" - Leave him alone!

- Stop! - Dumbass.

Listen to me.

If you don't do what I say, I swear I'll kill you.

Leave him alone.

Keep acting like a smartass, and I'll kill you first.

Alright, game over, go home! Get outta here.

- Let's go. - Come on, Chuy.

What're you looking at, bro? Come on, let's go.

Hurry up. Get in the car.

Move it!

Come on, let's go!

Stop crying, Chuy.

He keeps coming after Chuy for no reason.

Miguel, did you buy Félix's story about the witch and the chaneques?

If there was a kid-eating witch in the Misty Forest,

one of us would've gone missing by now.

I guess you're right.

Wait a minute, Chuy!

- Oh my God, Chuy. How fast can you pedal? - Catch up with him, Miguel! Let's go!

I'm so fast, look at me go!

- Woo! - Wow, he's too far ahead!

Wait for us, Chuy!

See you tomorrow!

- See you! - See you tomorrow, Chava.

See you later.

- Too much of a risk, we can't! - Cut the bullshit, ma'am! What--

- Shut it, Chalío! What-- - See you later, Chuy.

Bye!

- It's a trap, Pino! - How can you be such a coward?

Grow a pair, Chalío!

I'm going there to get the money tomorrow, and you're coming with me!

We should be getting the hell out.

Can't you see? The police are probably on the way here!

- For sure. - This is your right to take.

- You can't back out now! - Yeah, we're scared, Pino.

Oh, so now you're scared, huh? That's just so great.

- I can't believe you too! -

You're back already? What, are you guys spying on us?

What's with all the screaming?

C'mere, honey. Come here.

Come here. Here. Breathe, breathe. That's it.

- So where have you been? - Get it out.

We were playing soccer at the field.

- All the way up there? - Get it out.

Get it out.

Uh, so did you score a whole bunch of goals?

- That's it. - Yeah, Mom. I scored three.

Amazing. Are you hungry, babe?

- Yeah. - Come on.

Get it out. That's it. It's okay.

Wash your hands first, come on.

Wash it, then come eat.

Okay, well, let's go home. Come on.

- Mom's making dinner for us. - Bye, everyone!

Bye, sweetie.

It's all gonna be fine.

Have a little faith.

- Dad, what happened? -

Well, what do you think? Uh…

I fell.

You been drinking?

Of course. Otherwise, I'd shot myself in the head.

Yeah, with what gun?

I thought we were supposed to be rich by now.

I'm working on it. I gotta go now.

I'd bet this leads to nothing.

Those guys are just pulling one over on you.

At least I'm trying to do something, asshole.

Unlike you, who just gets hammered and makes our lives miserable.

Ah!

Look after him.

Hey, you missed lunch again. Where were you, Miguel?

We were at the field.

But the ball rolled all the way down to the witch's place.

- What witch? - The witch that lives in the forest.

- Were you with them? - No.

He was at Auntie and Uncle's house.

They were screaming a lot of bad words.

Come here, María.

Let's get you showered and do your steam inhalations.

- No, no, no, no! - Come on, you're doing it, missy.

You just had a coughing fit.

- You okay, honey? - Yeah. I don't wanna do it. I'm fine.

- I know, but you have to do it, missy. - Listen to you mom, honey.

You're gonna shower and then do your steam.

Rice and beans again?

Just eat it. Come on.

- No. - It's really good.

- Did you listen to the game? - Yeah.

Denmark won against Germany. Two-zero.

In our game, I was Germany and Calavera was Denmark.

I don't like Calavera. That boy's trouble. He's a handful, like his brother.

Are you gonna hang out with him the whole summer?

We don't have anyone else to play with.

Mexico's playing in the round of 16 soon. Wanna listen to it?

- Yeah. - Let's beat them, Mexico!

- - Dad, can we watch it on the TV?

The TV isn't ours.

It belongs to the big house. You know that.

Chava's dad will let us watch it, I'm sure.

Well, if he invites us, we'll be there, but don't complain if he doesn't, hmm?

I promise you, if Mexico wins and gets to the quarters,

we'll watch it at home, on our own TV.

- Yay! - Huh?

And where are you gonna find one, Josefino?

- I mean, at a store, right? Huh? -

Stop joking around.

Sweetie, by then, we'll be able to buy 20 TVs if we want.

Too confident, don't you think?

- I have faith. It's different. - Where would we put 20 TVs, Dad?

Well, we could stack 'em up. You know, make a mountain?

- What are you doing with my wrestler? - They're getting married.

Give it back. I didn't let you borrow it.

- You lost my little bear, Luis! - That wasn't me, okay?

Shh, shh!

- What's up, Chava? - Guess what?

They're running the Argentina match on TV again tonight.

- My parents are asleep. Let's go! - That's super cool.

You guys can't go into the big house. Not without permission.

- Chava can, María. - But you can't.

You can borrow my wrestler. Just don't tell on us, okay?

- Come on, run. -

Hurry.

- What if they hear us? - I guess we start running.

My mom says this house is full of ghosts.

- They'd think it was one of them. - The tension's building.
