Don't Listen (Voces)

NETFLIX PRESENTS

Do you know why I'm here, Eric?

Your parents called me because they're worried about you.

Want to tell me what's wrong?

You can trust me. I've helped kids like you.

There are other kids like me?

Of course.

Let me guess.

You're sad because you had to leave your school

and your old house, right?

Eric, it's normal to be angry.

I don't like moving either.

But this is a very pretty house.

And you'll make new friends soon, and it will be just like before.

Tell me, why do you have so much trouble sleeping?

They always wake me up.

Who wakes you up?

The voices.

"Voices"? Your parents?

And what do the voices say?

Sometimes they ask me to draw things.

Eric, do you hear them right now?

Yes.

And what are they saying?

I can't tell you.

What's wrong with him?

He has a lot of imagination.

And the voices he says talk to him?

Your son is a very intelligent boy

who's had to get used to playing and talking by himself, that's all.

And why can't he sleep?

Sara told me you buy houses to resell them.

Yes, that's right. We renovate them.

It's likely because of the instability from so much moving.

That can cause anxiousness and trouble sleeping.

It makes total sense.

There's a chance of showers.

Everywhere else will be partly cloudy with lower temperatures.

A front will move in from Algeciras bringing rain across southern Spain.

You're fucking kidding.

Dad, can you hear me? Over.

Dad here.

You have to say "over," over.

Dad here, over.

Can you get my ball out of the pool? It went in there again, over.

On my way, over.

It's good you waited outside. I don't like you to go in alone.

If it goes in again, let me know.

-What's that for? -This?

Know what an infestation is?

The flies that live in my fireplace?

I don't think it's just your fireplace.

But don't say a word to your mom.

She'll kill me for buying an old house.

Eric.

It's bath time, Eric!

Come on, buddy.

See if you can steal it.

Come on.

He hates you…

You didn't rinse yet?

-I did. -Come on, tip your head back.

What's this?

Were you playing with the cats?

I told you not to go near them, you could catch something.

-Mom? -What is it?

What is it?

Does Dad really hate me?

Where did you hear that nonsense?

I asked you a question, Eric.

Dad.

Dad said that? When did he say that?

On the walkie-talkie.

Don't lie.

Dad loves you very much, you know that. Don't you?

Come on, it's dinnertime.

I've got your number in my contact list--

There's a man stuck to your back.

We're joined by Germán Domingo for the release of his latest book,

titled Sounds from The Great Beyond.

How do you know an EVP is authentic?

They are voices that come from a place with a lot of pain.

Believe me, when you hear a real one,

it's something you'll never forget.

How many of the EVPs you've analyzed are real?

Very few.

Almost none, I'd say. Most come from humans.

They're voices from the street or the neighbor's TV.

-Dani. -Yes?

Is it true real EVPs…

Did you scold Eric or say something to him?

No, nothing. Why?

-Why these recordings don't have… -Never mind, forget it.

…oscillations in the waveform is something we haven't figured out.

You heard the psychologist, there's nothing seriously wrong with him.

Once he makes a friend at school, he'll be fine.

Sometimes he says things…

I don't know.

I think he's mad at me.

I'll try to get organized and have more time to spend with him.

That would be good.

Don't worry.

Damn it.

Shit… Damn gate.

Not now. Let me sleep, I'm really tired.

What is it, sweetie?

-Please don't! Please! -Easy, it's OK.

Please!

Easy, you're OK now.

-Please! -What is it? You're OK.

Eric? What's the matter?

I don't know.

Honey, come here. It's OK. It was just a bad dream. It's OK.

Dani… your hand.

Damn it.

Jesus, what a disgusting house.

Damn it.

-Why are you here? What happened? -He got expelled.

-What did you do? -Nothing.

What do you mean "nothing"?

He hid in a closet and when the principal went to get him, he bit him.

-Does that seem normal? -Why did you do that, partner?

Dr. Carol will come every day starting tomorrow.

The doctor is dead.

-Where did that nonsense come from? -The voices told me.

Go to your room and start your homework, go on.

I can't do this alone, Dani.

I'm sorry. I'm truly very sorry.

If there's anything we can do, just--

I understand.

I understand. Goodbye.

What happened?

Her car went off the road shortly after leaving here.

How did he know?

How could he know?

Someone must have told him at school, right?

What's going on, Dani?

I don't know.

Can I come in, partner?

-I brought you a sandwich. -I'm not hungry.

You have to eat something, come on.

Eric, before I came in your room last night…

…you were talking on the walkie, right?

-To who? -To you.

I didn't talk to you, partner.

It was your voice.

Go on, finish your sandwich.

Am I crazy, Dad?

You're not crazy at all, son.

You're just confused from the move and all this mess, that's all.

I don't like this house.

Didn't you want a house with a pool?

I don't want to swim there.

Why don't we move somewhere else?

Until your mom and I fix it up, we can't resell it, so…

Remember how well the last one went?

-We made a killing. -Exactly, we made a killing.

Is Mom still mad at me?

She'll get over it, don't worry.

Go on, eat.

Dani…

Dani…

The pool gate.

Is someone there?

It's too late to play.

We're doing this again?

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Eric!

Are you sure you don't want to come too?

It'd be good for you to get away for a few days.

I have to finish as soon as possible.

Give your parents my regards, OK?

What will we do with the house?

I don't know, Sara.

Right now, I don't know.

I can't live here.

And what do you suggest?

I don't know if you've realized, but all our money is invested in this.

All of it, Sara.

Take care.

Hurry up, we're getting wet.

Mom, look.

It's cool, right? Incredible.

-It is so big. -Come on.

Wow, it's really big!

Yes, but there's a lot to fix.

Can we keep this one?

Yes, for a while. Then we'll see.

You know how this goes.

Three, two, one… Ta-da!

Wow, it's really cool. It's so big!

And it's your room.

-Seriously? -Yes.

-What color should we paint it? -Can we hang up my drawings?
