A NETFLIX SERIES
Sweetheart.
You're just like me.
You have completed the first veil.
Now you are an initiate in the light.
Don't worry, Sofía.
I know what you're looking for.
Let yourself go.
Sweetheart.
Don't be afraid.
Mama?
Stay away from your sister.
What?
Lift the five veils.
Come next to me.
Give me strength, Mama.
Don't let anyone in.
CIVIL GUARD DO NOT CROSS
- It won't change anything, Guillén. - It doesn't hurt to try.
Were you looking for me?
I did it.
- I killed him. - What did he do to you?
He attacked you?
Sandra, you have to give me something. Please, try to remember.
He didn't do anything.
Just let me go, please.
Listen to me, Sandra.
Something happened here, okay?
Something you and I don't understand.
Did you see the mess in there? They searched the place.
I'm thinking it was a robbery.
But we only found the consecration chalice in your room.
Did you take anything else?
Did you?
- I don't know. - Sandra.
You didn't just murder that priest for no reason. I don't believe that at all.
Things must make sense, and this murder doesn't.
It's just as absurd to me as it is to you, I swear.
All right. Calm down.
There's this Mani guy, he's a drug dealer from town.
They say he was intimate with Ezcaray.
What if he set the whole thing up to blame it on you?
Guillén...
I'm the murderer.
As well as the mass suicide,
and also the murder of Father Ezcaray,
there have been some scenes of great tension.
- The daughters of Pablo and Elena... - Right.
...who are wanted by the Civil Guard, are still living in the town.
Yes, yes, they're still in the town.
But it's, uh, Elena and Pablo who should show their faces,
- and explain... - He thinks he's setting an example?
- ...to the victims' families... - Please, Mar. He's your father.
We all do.
Families like yours.
Your daughter, Mar, is a close friend of Eva,
the daughter of the main suspects.
...and also mourning the death of Olga Serrano, another resident of Feria.
VICTIM OF THE CULT OF LIGHT MASS SUICIDE IN FERIA
She leaves behind her husband and her son Chisco, as he is known in this town.
Well, Olga wasn't a, say, normal person, so to speak.
She had mental issues. She struggled with addictions.
She just happened to find her demise with this Cult of Light stuff,
but it could've been in any number of ways.
She didn't, uh... Her prospects weren't good.
Cults prey on the weakest.
The Civil Guard believes Elena Vera might have died inside the mine.
But apparently, Pablo Soto didn't go in.
We were able to see officers of the Guardia Civil
searching the forest around Feria.
They expect to be able to find him soon.
Exactly. That's it.
What Elena and Pablo did is so sad.
So very sad.
We are all struggling to make sense of what happened,
What could have made so many normal people decide to take their own lives?
Yes. This town is made up of working people.
After the mine closed, Feria had to reinvent itself.
The mine was the livelihood...
- You okay? - ...of many families here.
But together, we've always managed to forge ahead.
Last week's mass suicide and Father Ezcaray's murder
happened so close to each other...
Eva, they brought some of the things they took during the search.
Hmph.
- I just made coffee. You want some? - Yes, I need it.
What are you doing?
Putting it where it belongs.
Sofía, can you please take the photo away?
Put it in your room. I'm not asking for much.
It's Dad's inhaler.
He needs it. He gets really bad.
You're hell-bent on them being alive, huh? Then go right ahead.
But I'm getting tired of always giving in.
I never told you to blindly believe whatever the police says, Eva.
Hey, we stayed because of you. We're at home because of you.
Or you'd have caused a scandal.
I shut up about Mani, and that crazy stuff about Mom.
Can't you do me a favor? I don't wanna see them, Sofía.
Girls...
Are you that ashamed of your parents?
Get rid of the photo.
No.
Okay.
But I'm the older sister, so do as I say.
Eva, leave the photo. Leave it!
- Sofía, give me the photo! - Girls.
Please. Eva!
You're going too far.
You can hate them,
but you'll always be their daughter, and you can never change that.
Yelling won't help fix things.
Eva.
- We have to tread lightly with Sofía. - With Sofía?
Always with "poor Sofía."
So then, I must look like I don't need any help, right?
Out to catch some bugs?
Mm-hmm.
I think it worked.
Copito knew it would.
Hmm.
Samuel says you have to put this on.
Sweetheart.
Come here with me.
If we want to get her to open the door,
we must get rid of her sister.
She must be released.
What about my sister?
Stay in bed, sweetheart.
Where is that place I saw my mom?
Here, or at the reservoir?
What happened? I don't
know what happened, but
I saw my mother.
There is nothing in the reservoir or in this house.
What you saw is within you.
Because you are a perfect one. Like your mother.
It's time to open the second veil, Sofía.
The first one was my hand sinking into you.
The second one will be your baptism.
Do you want to be closer to Elena?
This is the way to reach the kingdom.
What kingdom?
Elena was showing you the way.
Nobody died in the mine.
Your mother took them to the kingdom.
And we can take you to her.
If you want to be by Elena, you must cross the door, Sofía.
Only you can do it.
But for it to open...
...you must let go of whatever binds you to this world of shadows.
We must lift the five veils.
And you must let your soul float in the ether.
Don't ever think of Eva again.
Stay away from her if you want to go back to your mother.
Oh. Shit. I left my wallet.
Perla, I'll pay you another day. I don't have my wallet.
Eva. I have to cash out.
But I mean, I said I was going to pay.
How many times have you given me credit?
What's with you two?
What's going on? Why don't you take a photo, huh?
Shit. Okay, that's fucking great.
Okay...
Now go and tell everyone in town.
The daughter of the murderers is crazy and also adrunk.
How much for the bottle?
It's 1,500 pesetas.
I'll take two, then.

Eva.
Look at me.
I'm sorry, okay?
It's all good.
I'm not gonna make excuses.
I was afraid.
It doesn't matter, Raúl.
Well, it's not common to find out
your girlfriend's a member of the Manson Family, right?
Eva.
Tell that journalist.
Who interviewed Lozano?
Let everyone see you're normal.
What is it?
Nothing.
It's really nice when someone cares about you.
Sofía is locking herself into a fantasy.
I don't know if she saw Mani.
- I told you about him? - Yes.
She thinks he knows something about her mother.
Elena and Mani knew each other?
Mani lost his parents in an accident when he was a kid.
He came to live at the home with them,
and, well, he kept failing his classes until he dropped out of school.
Elena tried to help him, but he was just a lost cause, you know?
Are you thinking of Ezcaray?
What, did you already catch the killer?
We arrested her, yes.
- But it doesn't make any sense. - I mean, what does in Feria?
Pablo and Elena were normal people.
They couldn't have turned into the leaders of a suicide cult
- all of a sudden... - You know it didn't happen overnight.
You know the letters Elena had been getting? Hmm?
Some of them go back more than ten years.
- May I? - Be my guest.
To me, it's like they were written by patients from an insane asylum.
You'll feel right at home.
"Certain beings are touched by the light."
"They are in touch with the kingdom."
"They are as perfect as you, Elena."
"Dekta has freed me from my family."
"I am ready for the baptism, ready to leave the flesh behind."
I can't believe it.
- You know that Mani a bit, don't you? - Yeah.
He's spent the odd night in a cell.
The guy with the blue hair? An angel.
I can tell.
What about his relationship with Ezcaray?
Is it true they had a thing?
I don't meddle with the Church.
Right.
Me, on the other hand, I love to take a peek under a cassock.
I'm a pervert.
Shut it.
I want a lawyer.
I have bad news for you, Mani.
We can get you in serious trouble for this.
Or...
we can forget about the drugs
and talk about what really interests us.
Why does Sofía think you know about her mother?
Where did you get that idea?
I have nothing to do with that girl.
I mean, yes, I sold a joint to her older sister. So what?
- I don't even know her name... - Eva.
That's right, Eva.
I have my rules, okay? I don't do business with kids.
Are you a good Christian, Mani?
You don't have anything to do with things like the Cult of Light?
You're a regular at Sunday Mass?
Were you sad when Father Ezcaray was killed?
I've heard you two were good friends.
Hmm?
The world is full of scummy priests, Mani.
And Ezcaray was one of them, wasn't he?
Come on, Mani.
He asked you a question. Yes or no?
Answer, if you don't want things to get ugly.
You arrested that woman, right?
The sergeant?
She's the one who killed him.
That's for a judge to decide.
Were you there that night?
You went to the church, Mani.
You were there and had a fight with Ezcaray.
- You two trashed the sacristy. - I was at the entrance to the mine, dude!
I was getting the equipment ready with Serafín. I... His orichalcum.
Okay, so Serafín was a miner.
He spent way too long underground, and he isn't right in the head.
He believes the mine contains that stuff, orichalcum.

FIFTH VEIL
WORLD OF SHADOWS
EXCERPTS FROM THEODOTUS
"On the path towards the light,
the perfect ones will be aided by the beings from the kingdom."
"I am the light that is above all things."
"I am everything."
"Everything came out of me and returned to me."
"Whoever doesn't hate their brothers and sisters
won't become my disciple."
"But whoever drinks from my mouth will know that which is hidden."
Hey.
I heard what happened at the supermarket, and
people suck.
Yeah. I wasn't having my best day either.
Hmm.
Um, are you up for...
I don't know. We can go and have some chocolate and churros?
I had a rough night.
I think I have the flu or something.
I heard that Raúl and you...
We're good, Mar.
I hope I'm wrong, but Raúl's never gonna have your back.
Be careful.
Who was that?
Um, a Bible saleswoman.
Just what I need.
You mind if they record the interview this evening?
- Mm. - Hmm? Yeah?
That way, we can air it on tomorrow's show.
Are you sure you don't want to do it live?
Pretaped is fine.
My head hurts a little.
Hi, there. You must be little Sofía.
And you're that bitch Ana Sánchez.
Oh God.
Sofía, wouldn't "Hello" have been enough?
- Just apologize. Come on. - Why would I do that?
Because she's presenting my parents as murderers?
Because you've been showing images of Chisco's mother all day?
I'm just curious.
Okay, Sofía, I understand your anger, and that you don't want to be on television.
But what your sister Eva is doing is a chance to get the truth out there.
Sofía, can we talk for a second? Hmm?
Talk about what?
About your shitty attitude, for starters.
Sofía, I'm not doing this for money or fame.
I'm doing it for us.
When did I ask for your help?
I'll just say that you and I knew nothing. That we're victims too.
Also victims of who, Eva?
Mom and Dad?
Sofía, you have a visitor.
You're making a mistake, Eva.
You're making a mistake, and you're gonna regret it.
Serafín?
Did you buy the razor?
I look like a bum.
Serafín?
You do look awful.
I don't know why it didn't occur to me you'd be hidin' here.
Where else? With crazy old Serafín.
I come as Marcos, not as a cop. Hmm?
Twenty years ago, we decided to move on and forget.
I won't allow that to change.
You can't carry on staying here.
She was very pretty.
She wasn't well.
What really bothers me is that Lozano was right.
- She was nuts. - I didn't know her.
And I did? We have no idea who they were, Sofía.
Sofía, I acted like an idiot with you.
I blamed you as if you had something to do with what your parents did.
And that's not the case. I'm sorry.
You don't have to put up with their crap, and I don't with my mother's.
They're getting us to hate them. It's not fair.
It pisses me off they talk about them.
But why deny reality?
What if the reality we've been told is just a lie?
Nobody died in the mine.
Your mother took them to the kingdom.
I really wish my mother had been different.
There are some people I want you to know.
I think they can show you who your mother really was.
Did you speak with Mani?
Mm. He has an alibi.
He was in an old mine opening. We went in there but it was in ruins.
He went there with a guy named Serafín. Marcos checked it out.
I stuck Mani in a cell because of the gear he had. Screw him.
The DA's office wants me to close the case and to take you to Madrid for the trial.
I told the prosecutor to fuck off.
He wasn't too happy about it.
Attorneys are very sensitive.
Sandra,
someone else must have been in the sacristy that night,
someone who was looking for something in the priest's belongings.
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
I have something to tell you about Corporal Marcos Salazar.
No, this isn't right.
It's your baptism.
Chisco needs to be present.
His mother was in the mine.
Well, Copito doesn't like this.
And Samuel will like it even less.
Let's go.
Are you ready?
Mm.
I'll be downstairs.
You are the star of the town.
I believe you wanted to have a career as a model.
Your skin is gorgeous.
I suppose with everything that's happened, your dream got interrupted.
Well, not that I planned to do much of it, but...
- Well, I guess a little. - Of course.
Who'd want their brand to be associated with...
forgive me for being blunt, the daughter of two murderers?
What were Pablo and Elena like?
Well, they were just normal parents.
We know you don't share their beliefs.
But it is important that everyone knows Eva is different.
Yes, I... I've never been very religious.
And what did your parents believe in?
Did they ever let you know about the Cult of Light?
I don't care.
You don't care that they led 23 people to their deaths?
Eva? Are you okay?
Get off!
Keep recording.
No. Nobody's recording another minute of this. Turn them off!
...the daughter of murderers?
Eva?
Eva, it's me.
Eva?
You're scaring me, Eva.
Eva, let me in, please. Eva?
Eva! Eva!
Oh my God.
Eva! Eva, Eva.
Let go of that.
I'm a monster, Raúl.
- Just like them. Just like them. - Calm down, Eva.
You're not a monster. It's not true, okay?
There. There, my love.
That's it. That's it. That's it.
That's it. That's it.
Wake up, sport.
Wake up.
Today is a special day.
Sofía?
Today,
the day of your baptism, free yourself of the flesh, Sofía.
Don't be nervous.
You brought him here to take part in the baptism?
Show him what you showed me.
I'm sure it's awesome, but I can live without it.
Let's get out, Sofía.
My love.
Please don't go.
My son.
- Mama? - Come with me.
I love you.
Our flesh is a prison.
A beautiful prison.
Like Sofía.
How many times have you dreamed of caressing her?
The warmth of her skin.
You want to make her yours.
Look at her. Penetrate her.
This flesh belongs to you, to anyone.
- It's worth nothing. - You've drugged her. It isn't her.
- Touch her. - Let's go, Sofía.
Leave her!
Stay away, you pig! Leave her alone!
Sofía!
The passion of the Supreme Triad.
Thesis, look at me like a torch and let me in.
You know the essence of the realm.
Open the second veil.
Relinquish the flesh.
Sofía! Sofía!
