but when they got here,

they just found a poor village,

so they kidnapped all the children

and locked them up in a temple

and asked for a ransom...

their weight in silver.

The people of Santa Clara asked

all the surrounding villages for help

to gather enough silver

to pay the ransom.

The conquistadors kept the silver,

but they didn't keep their word

and they lit the temple on fire.

With the children inside?

Some people believe the ghosts of the kids

are still around looking for revenge.

Anything bad that happens

is blamed on them.

What do you believe?

You know you can call us anytime

while we're gone, okay?

Even if it's just to say hi.

Are you going to show your drawing

to Catalina when I'm gone?

Might do.

- Come on, let's go.

- Okay.

- Buenos noches.

- Buenos noches, Seor Harriman.

Hey!

- How are you?

- Seor.

Sarah, I'd like you to meet an old friend

of mine, a very good man,

Andrs Contreras,

he's the local company doctor.

- Oh, nice to meet you.

- And you.

- This is my husband, Paul.

- How you doing?

- My pleasure.

- Nice to meet you.

Por favor.

Jordan!

Jorge!

- Senator.

- Oh, thank you.

Sarah, I'd like you to meet

Senator Maraon.

Sarah is going to be the new

General Manager at the plant.

- Oh, great.

- I'm very excited to be here.

I look forward to knowing

more about this country.

Very impressive indeed.

Your father has been a great friend

of our community for a long, long time.

- Oh, come on. Come on, let's eat.

- Okay.

Doctor Contreras.

Tomorrow we're going to play

all the morning.

Sounds good?

But now it's time to sleep.

- And have a good night, honey.

- Thank you.

Good night.

Come on, Sarah. Dance with your father.

So, what kind of job

did you leave behind to come here?

No, no, I'm keeping my job.

I'm an illustrator.

I illustrate children's books.

I wish I could treat

my patients from anywhere.

You still have it.

You were so young.

I'm starting to forget

what she looks like.

She would have been proud of you.

Did you grow up here?

My parents moved here

when I was a child,

when my father started working

as a doctor at the paper mill.

Really?

They lived in your house.

My father had his clinic there.

Oh, yeah? You ever live there?

No. I was sent away to boarding school.

Jordan sent Sarah

to boarding school in the States.

- Is that where you guys met?

- No, no, we met in New York.

We got married there

and then we moved to London.

We had our daughter, Hannah, and...

- now we're here.

- It's a good decision.

I worry about moving her around too much,

but you know we gotta be together, so...

Many may advise against bringing children

to a place like Santa Clara, but...
