Last to Die

Running from death,

it's like trying to escape from your shadow.

You can run and run,

but you will never be more than a step ahead.

And it will always be just a step behind.

I've been running my whole life,

never looking back,

hoping to avoid the fate of my parents.

But no matter where I run,

no matter how far,

I always seem to end up in the same place I started.

You can't run from your past.

What do you know about Mystic Lake?

Never heard of it.

I thought you grew up in that area?

Laguna de Eternidad.

Oh, right.

And?

I lived for less than a year before.

You ever go swimming there?

Not that I remember.

Legend says the lake was sacred to local Indians.

They have rituals near the lake,

but it was forbidden to go into the water.

Well, that wouldn't stop me

from swimming there on a hot day.

Oh, such a rebel.

Anyone caught in the lake was put to death.

But some thought it was worth the risk.

Because?

They believed soaking in the waters

will give them the power to live forever.

Ooh.

Well, count on me.

I mean, as long as I can look like this.

Eternal life though?

That's just another myth

for people hoping for better things.

Hm, I mean, if you'd ask me,

I'd say they were inspired by hallucinations.

I bet they used to make some wild herb cocktails.

It takes more than drugs

to keep thousands of people out of the water.

Today, the lake is closed

to tourists.

I bet they still have rituals today.

Not everything in life is paranormal.

Maybe they just wanted to preserve

the flora and fauna around the lake.

Or maybe not.

Enter.

Marco.

Don Garza.

Mars and Venus will align with the Moon

and the lake will be still.

Then?

It's coming.

You seem reluctant?

Isn't there another way?

It is not wise to question the council.

One flesh sustains many.

Time without end.

Time without end.

I'll leave tonight.

Marco.

Burden is much heavier when you carry it alone.

The village is with you.

Bad news?

Oh, Sammy.

It's a letter from the lawyers.

And?

And I have to do something about the house.

I mean, it's been a year since he died.

If you don't?

The village takes it over.

Well, you can't let them.

This is the final notice.

Yeah, and your uncle wanted you to have that house.

It's yours.

It's funny, I mean,

I only lived there for a year

but it's the only home I know.

You have to sign the papers.

I've been too afraid to go back there.

There's too many memories.

Well, you can always sell the house.

Besides, it's a beautiful pueblo.

Where I lost everything,

including Uncle Juan.

Okay, then what are you going to do?

Get away, get away!

No, no!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Come back! Come back Felipe!

Is there a connection

between Villa Eterna and missing children?

Well, he's out there somewhere.

I can't imagine how it feels right now.

Scared, all alone.

We were doing everything we can to find him.

We always take care of our own.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Guess I turned it off.

Good night, Maya.

Hello?

Hello?

Kiara?

Kiara?

Maya!

What are you doing?

I thought you were in a trance.

My god, no.

Look, I know you don't wanna hear this,

but your father worked really hard.

- You scared me. - I know, I know.

But look, just listen to me.

Your father worked really hard to get that house.

If you let it go, you are disrespecting everything

he tried to do for your family.

- But? - Sammy,

just sign the papers.

I'll organize a trip.

It'll be fun.

Yes? No? Maybe?

I'll think about it.

Okay, think about it.

So that means yes.

- Uh-oh. - What's wrong?

We're out of gas.

That's impossible, we filled up before we left.

Kiara.

You guys are no fun.

I just wanted to take a little break, geez.

Hilarious.

Hey, Kiara.

Where'd those clouds come from?

No idea.

Dude, I need a beer... now.

They're in the trunk.

- It's opened. - Thank you.

I know it is none of my business,

but why do we stop here?

What do you mean?

I mean, no stores, no bathrooms, and no guys.

This day is a total waste of makeup.

Lupe, Lupe, look at the view.

It's amazing,

and you can breathe the air without choking.

Oh my god, I know.

The carbon monoxide and bubble die is extremely depressing.

Carbon what?

Monoxide, air pollution.

Like that.

Hey girls, anybody else want one?

Why is she here?

Buzzkills.

You want some?

No thanks.

I came here when I was a little girl.

Watch it.

Wow.

The view looks better already.

Hi, do you know how far it is until Villa Eterna?

What's this?

- Cachume cupay. - Cachume?

I gotta have it for my collection?

How much is it?

- 20, 25? - No.

- 50? Sorry. - No, no.

Thank you.

Look at this.

It's so different.

What? Look at this guys.

This is so amazing.

Where's Kiara?

I don't know.

She's around here somewhere.

Kiara!

Kiara!

She might be Lupe.

Where is she?

Why Kiara? Why?

Oh my god.

Where did you get that?

I found it in the bushes, what's wrong?

Seriously, that's like the worst thing

you could have ever done.

I'm enjoying the fauna.

You want some beer?

Oh yeah, I want beer.

That's the best thing I could have done right there.

Where did you even find that?

I just said I find it right there.

Well, that's disgusting.

And I couldn't even think.

Hey Sam come on.

Sorry, guys.

Let's take a selfie.
