Okay. Cut.

Please. Take this.

Find anything yet?

So far, nothing.

It... The body, I mean...

will pop up eventually, right?

The body'II probably

surface sometime tomorrow.

No problem, then.

Bodies tend

to pop up quickly, Luca.

Gasses build up and... they float.

That is, unless something else

happens to them.

If they're punctured,

they get soggy.

Just find it.

I don't want anything getting

in the way of the celebration.

I don't think they'II get in the way

of the celebration, Mayor.

- They?

- The police dive team.

They're coming in

from Madrid. Tomorrow.

Dive team?

There's no reason to make

a big thing about this.

Excuse me, sir.

The show must go on.

Please, Teresa.

If you want, shoot.

Okay. Line it up.

Our primary concern

is to do everything

in our power to find your son.

Hey! You got something?

No, Captain.

Just a funny wave.

Captain! Wait a minute!

What are you doing?

Get out of here.

Go!

Get out of here.

- Get that rig over here.

- Hell of a current down there.

Who are you?

Dan Quarry.

You know, I saw something

really strange down there.

Like a crack

in the wall of the dam.

What are you,

some kind of engineer?

Nah. L'm a photojournalist.

L'm working on the story

of the sunken town.

Got swept away by a current.

And a boy disappeared

where you showed up.

Hey! I didn't have

anything to do with that.

Officer Gonzales,

take him into custody.

No, he's right.

I saw him at the dam

right before my daughter called.

He'd just arrived,

so he couldn't have had

anything to do

with Antonio's drowning.

- You sure about that.

- Yeah.

Absolutely.

So you won't be needing this?

You can have it back

when I see your diving permit.

So, no permits, huh?

It's a spec piece.

L've got a deadline.

And there's a story here.

Really need

to get my camera back.

Listen... thanks for the ride.

And being my alibi.

Any time.

I owe you one.

Clara.

Sorry about what

happened to your friend.

I know what it's like

to lose someone.

Who is that?

Ah. That's Gambine,

the supervisor.

He never leaves.

Interesting.

Julio?

Julio?

Julio.

This is Mr. Quarry.

He's a reporter.

What do you want?

L'd like to go down

into the dam, if I could.

It's not a good time.

Please.

Julio, please.

This is the main wall.

of reinforced concrete...

which supports the pressure

of 18 kilograms of water

- per cubic centimeter.

- This place feels like a tomb.

Watch your step.

Mom?

This happen often?

Every few years...

there's a small quake.

That wasn't so small.

There's a fault line

about 3 kilometers from here.

Great place to build a dam.

Bet there's more than one body

buried in these walls, huh?
