00:0017 students from a class disappear in the middle of the night, leaving behind a disturbing mystery.
00:17Despite having seen countless horror movies, the final twist in this story left me breathless,
00:23with layers of complexity that I prefer to save for the ending, so stay tuned.
00:27It all begins with the assertion that what you are about to witness is real,
00:31an event that occurred just two years ago in this very city, where many lives were affected in truly unusual ways,
00:39although the media did not report it, the police, embarrassed by their inability to solve the case, decided to keep it under wraps.
00:47The plot begins at Maybrook Elementary School on a random Wednesday when the new teacher, Justine Gandy,
00:53enters her classroom and finds that all of her students have disappeared except for one, Alex Lilly.
00:59Where are the others?
01:01The night before, at exactly 2.17am, they got up, opened the doors of their homes, and ran away, never to return.
01:10Thanks to the fact that many of the children's homes had alarms and some even had cameras,
01:15the police were able to determine the exact time they left their homes,
01:19although they were unable to understand the reason behind their decision.
01:24The authorities conducted extensive interviews with Alex and Teacher Gandy,
01:28looking for clues about the children's disappearance, but neither seemed to have any useful information.
01:34The school remained closed for a while, and the day before it reopened,
01:38the school committee met with some parents to address critical issues.
01:42This story, by the way, will be divided into chapters,
01:46each focusing on a different protagonist, starting with Justine.
01:51As expected, the pre-reopening meeting turned chaotic.
01:55Justine tried to calm things down, but only managed to get the parents of the missing children
01:59to surround her with anger, forcing her to flee the school.
02:06Before returning home, Justine decides to stop at a liquor store to drown her sorrows,
02:11and at one point we see a boy asking her for money, a character who will become relevant later on.
02:17Finally, she arrives home and, fearing that an upset parent might be following her,
02:22she rushes inside.
02:24Before she can pour herself a drink, someone knocks on the door,
02:28but when she goes to answer it, there is no one there.
02:31Irritated, Justine goes outside armed with a taser, ready to confront the intruder,
02:36only to discover that there is no one there, although someone has painted the word witch on her car.
02:42Trying to get her life back on track and return to school,
02:46Principal Marcus, whom I will now refer to as Wong,
02:49tells her that it is impossible, the parents are too upset,
02:53and he reminds her that she must not have any contact with Alex,
02:56as it is crucial that the boy get back to his routine and forget everything that happened.
03:01That night, Justine contacts an old friend who is a police officer living in town.
03:08Although not explicitly mentioned,
03:10it is implied that Justin and his police officer friend shared a complicated past,
03:15and this is confirmed when, despite being married,
03:18he woke up at Justine's house after having had an intimate encounter.
03:22Ah, correction.
03:23Not only did they have something in the past, they still have a relationship.
03:28Are you following me?
03:30Justine takes his friend to the police station and then decides to follow Alex to his house,
03:35despite Director Wong's warning.
03:38Upon arriving, he notices that the windows are completely covered with newspapers
03:42and that the boy's parents are sitting in the living room, completely motionless.
03:48Justine tries to warn Wong,
03:49but he ignores her and reminds her that it's best to forget the whole thing.
03:54Trying to calm down,
03:55Justine returns to the liquor store,
03:57only to be pursued by a woman who, upon catching up with her,
04:01throws her to the ground and confronts her,
04:04accusing her of seducing her husband,
04:06because yes, she is the police officer's wife.
04:10At even more stress than usual,
04:12Justine drowns his sorrows in alcohol and decides to go to bed,
04:16dreaming that he was at school and that Alex was there, but looking different.
04:21When he wakes up, he thinks he hears something in the hallway and,
04:24unable to calm his mind, he returns to the boy's house, trying to talk to him,
04:29but Alex asks him to go away and leave him alone.
04:33Determined to watch over him, Justine stays outside,
04:36watching for any unusual movements, but between boredom and alcohol, he passes out.
04:41That's when Alex's mother comes out, holding a pair of scissors and walking strangely,
04:47gets into the teacher's car, and pulls out a lock of her hair.
04:51This concludes the chapter.
04:53Now we meet Archer, the father of one of the missing children,
04:57who works in construction but is so obsessed with the situation of his son and the others that he cannot concentrate,
05:03he asks for red paint instead of green, and his mind remains fixated on the children's disappearance.
05:14Archer insists that the police investigate teacher Justine, convinced that she is involved,
05:20basing his theory on the fact that she was arrested a year ago for drunk driving, among other things.
05:25These ideas lead him to extremes, the next day, during the school meeting,
05:31he confronts her about the disappearances, follows her to the liquor store,
05:35and even paints the word which on her car.
05:38Indeed, it had been him.
05:40The turning point comes one early morning when he dreams of the day his son got up and disappeared,
05:46he sees him running toward a strange house,
05:48above which is a figure of a gun with the number 217, which I will share my theory about later.
05:54Archer enters, goes up to a room, and finds his son tucked in under the sheets.
06:00The situation intensifies when he begins to investigate the exact direction in which his son ran off
06:06and, with the help of Justin Long's doorbell camera, a neighbor,
06:10he manages to plot another point on the map, narrowing down the area and closing in on the mystery.
06:15Halfway there, Archer runs into Justine at the gas station and, without thinking twice,
06:26approaches her to tell her what he has discovered,
06:29but they are interrupted by Principal Wong,
06:32who comes running at full speed to pounce on Justin,
06:34but Archer stops him just in time.
06:37And so the chapter ends.
06:38Now we continue with the story of Paul, Justin's police officer friend.
06:44During his shift, Paul sees a boy trying to steal from the back of a factory,
06:49prompting him to chase after him immediately.
06:51To be honest, the officer asks him if he has anything in his pockets that could hurt him,
06:57the boy says no, but ends up pricking his finger with a syringe,
07:01and Paul, angry, hits him hard.
07:04Imagine the paranoia of feeling a needle prick without knowing where it came from.
07:09What complicates the situation, besides the risk of having contracted some disease,
07:15is that the patrol car's camera recorded Paul hitting Yonkey,
07:18so, after reaching an agreement with the boy,
07:21he tells him that he will forget about the needle prick as long as he doesn't mention the punch.
07:26Paul is forced to inform his boss,
07:28who assures him that if Yonkey doesn't say anything within a month,
07:32the recording will be deleted and everyone will be fine.
07:35But before the month is up, the boy shows up at the police station,
07:39and Paul has to chase him down to teach him a lesson.
07:43This concludes the chapter.
07:45Now we meet James, Yonkey, who has his camp in the woods and,
07:49running out of his favorite substance,
07:51steals a tablet from a car and tries to pawn it.
07:55Although this proves futile,
07:56it allows him to see a poster about the reward for information on the missing children.
08:00Moments later, James heads to the back of the factory where Paul had confronted him and,
08:07once he has recovered, rushes straight to Alex's house,
08:11believing it to be abandoned, but finds something strange.
08:14He sneaks in through a second floor window,
08:17grabs a pillowcase, and begins collecting anything that seems valuable,
08:21until he encounters Alex's parents in an almost hypnotic state,
08:25as if they weren't even there.
08:26Before leaving, he decides to check the basement and discovers Alex's 17 classmates,
08:33who react to his presence just like the parents, forcing him to run away.
08:38With valuables in hand,
08:39he returns to the pawn shop and notices the reward for the missing children.
08:44Although hesitant, he decides to go to the police station,
08:47where he comes face to face with Paul, triggering a new chase.
08:51James decides that the most sensible thing to do is to return to the forest and take refuge in his camp,
08:58but on the way he runs into Gladys Penawise.
09:02He locks himself in his tent, and when something threatens to catch him,
09:06he lunges quickly, tensing the air.
09:09Before Paul does something crazy, James confesses that he knows where the children are,
09:13the policeman puts him in his patrol car, questioning him about AIDS or hepatitis,
09:19and James responds with a curt, I don't think so.
09:22They head to Alex's house, Paul gets out to investigate whether the information is true,
09:28leaving James trapped for hours, until he returns furious and drags him inside.
09:33Meanwhile, the story continues with Marcus, the school principal,
09:37also known as Wong and a friend of Dr. Strange, who is visited by Alex's supposed aunt,
09:44a strange-looking old woman named Gladys.
09:47Instead of following his instincts to be alert and call the police or visit the boy's house,
09:52Wong tries not to offend her and only tells her that he can't talk to her about Alex.
09:58Gladys reveals that this will be impossible because her parents were sick with consumption,
10:02an old term for tuberculosis in the 19th century, leaving Wong baffled and suggesting that this
10:09woman does not belong to our time, or at least has lived for many, many years.
10:14While Wong was enjoying his weekend at home with his partner, Aunt Glady shows up,
10:19making up an excuse about having walked too much and asking for some water.
10:24Although Wong refuses, his partner agrees, but she doesn't want a simple glass,
10:29she demands a large container.
10:30With the water in her hands, she pulls out a peculiar twig wrapped in a ribbon taken from
10:36Wong's office.
10:38She cuts her hand, takes a lock of Wong's partner's hair, and instead of stopping her,
10:43they just watch.
10:44She rings a little bell that immobilizes the man, wraps the branch with the hair, and then
10:50breaks it, causing Wong to attack uncontrollably, brutally headbutting himself in a way that YouTube
10:55won't let me show.
10:56Gladys takes Justin's lock of hair out of her bag, wraps it around the branch, and breaks
11:05it again, while Wong shoots off like Naruto in search of the teacher, he finds her at
11:10the gas station and confronts Archer.
11:13Justin, taking advantage of a moment of distraction, gets into his car and escapes, while the guy
11:19who was running so fast finds it impossible to catch up with Wong.
11:23In a moment, Wong ends up turned into instant soup by another vehicle.
11:28This encounter reveals something crucial to Archer, he recognizes that way of running from
11:33the recording of Justin's son, confirming that they are connected.
11:37Archer also shows Justin the map, who identifies the marked area as the home of Alex, the only
11:43child who did not disappear.
11:45Speaking of Alex, it's time to find out what happened to him and how he fits into all this,
11:51as we slowly begin to receive answers that had eluded us until now.

12:31of Justin's son, confirming that they are connected.
12:34Archer also shows Justin the map, who identifies the marked area as the home of Alex, the only

12:43Speaking of Alex, it's time to find out what happened to him and how he fits into all this,
12:48as we slowly begin to receive answers that had eluded us until now.
12:54To avoid making a mistake, Alex takes the labels with the names of his classmates' personal
12:59boxes and, once Gladys has them in her possession, performs a ritual.
13:04After ringing that little bell, the 17 children in Alex's class leave their homes and, on their
13:09own, head to the basement we had already seen.
13:12In the present, Archer and Justin arrive at Alex's house and find the police patrol car
13:18parked outside.
13:20Upon entering, they follow Alex's gesture without noticing the circle of salt that protected Gladys,
13:25and when they touch it, Paul and James are activated, unleashing one of those scenes we
13:31love so much.
13:49Just when it seemed like it was all over, Gladys takes control of Archer and makes him attack
13:55Justine, but just as victory seems certain, Alex grabs a strand of hair from his aunt's
14:00wig and a branch from the plant.
14:03Like tireless machines, the 17 children reach Gladys and, before she can react, eliminate
14:09her, freeing Archer and Alex's parents from their trance.
14:13In the final scene, Alex must move away with another aunt, and although some classmates have
14:18already started talking again, others have not been so lucky, thus closing the story.
14:23My wife.
14:28Re-watching.
14:29Re-watching.
