(Our story begins where it ended. In a remote village in the Mountainous region of Spain. A Father and son return from hunting. They field dress the deer outside. The husbands wife approaches with a smile on her face. This is the story of the Ganado.)
Gabriel: Well dear, our son made this shot.
Carina: Did he now? ( She inspects quality) Now this is top quality steer meat. Good job, Anthony. Wash up you two and help me prepare the dinner.)
(Anthony uses the shower first. Gabriel uses the shower second. Gabriel looks in the mirror. He places his hand on the mirror. He has changed. The too of them head downstairs and assist with the cooking. They use all manner of herbs and spices. It is not a royal banquet, but a simple, yet gourmet, style dinner.)
Gabriel: I got to admit, this looks great. Now let's eat.
(Right before they get a chance to eat. there is a knock on the door)
Carina: Who could it be at this hour?
Gabriel: I'll handle it. (He nods to her. Carina places her hand on the bottom of the table where she keeps her gun. She takes the safety off. Gabriel walks to door. He opens it) Ramiro, what are you doing here?
Ramon: I'm sorry to bother you at this hour, Gabriel
Gabriel: Nonsense, Ramon. Please come in.
Ramon: Thank you. I will make this brief.
(They enter.)
Ramon: My wife, Alinda, is sick, very ill. We are expecting our first child soon but she is very weak. I've come to ask you for your help.
Gabriel: I see. Let me see what I can do.
Ramon: Gracias, Gabriel.
Gabriel: Honey, thank you for preparing dinner. Don't wait up for me. I'll be back. Excuse me, Ramon.
Ramon: Of course.
(Gabriel whispers in Carina ear)
Gabriel: Set all security surveillance systems in place until I come back.
Carina: I will. I hope everything goes well. (They share a kiss. He looks at Anthony)
Gabriel: Help your mother with the dishes when you are finished.
Anthony: I will Papa.
(Gabriel turns to Ramon)
Gabriel: Vamonos.
(They leave. Carina puts the safety back on.)
Anthony: Hey mom, why do the villagers always ask dad for help.
Carina: Because he has very special powers, Anthony.
Anthony: Special powers?
Carina: Yes. You will see them one day.
(Gabriel and Ramon arrive at the village house near the tower. Ramon opens the door. They proceed upstairs. The Mid-wife is sitting next to the ill wife. The Mid-wife approaches Ramon.)
Mid-wife: The fever is only getting worse. Now she is getting a cold sweat. The herbs i've brewed are only slowing the progression.
Ramon: It will be alright. El jefe is here to help.
Gabriel: How long has this been going on for?
Mid-wife: Cuarto días.
Gabriel: 4 days. Ramon, allow me.
Ramon: Yes jefe.
(Gabriel inspects the ill wife. He notices a small scabbed cut on the side of her arm. There are red marks crawling up her arm.)
Gabriel: This is serious, Ramon. Your wife has septicemia.
Ramon: Que es eso?
Gabriel: It is a condition when a wound has not been treated immediately and is subjected to bacteria. These bacteria enter the bloodstream and cause a build up of toxins. Your wife is in grave danger.
Ramon: What do you need, Jefe? What sort of herbs or plants can we brew?
Gabriel: There is not enough time to gather the necessary materials. She needs a blood transfusion, fast. I need you all to wait outside.
Ramon: I don't want to leave my wife.
(Gabriel hesitates. But there is no choice now)
Gabriel: Very well, you can all stay. What you are about to see you must not tell anyone.
Ramon: Si Jefe. Whatever you say.
Gabriel: Swear it!
Ramon: I swear.
Mid-wife: I swear.
(Gabriel grabs the arm of the ill wife. He closes his eyes. The skin of his hand begins to fuse with her arm. A translucent fluid filled sac begins to form. We can see, muscles, veins, capillaries and arteries. His circulatory system merges with hers. He takes the role of a blood filter. 2 hours later the procedure is finished.)
Ramon: Thank you for everything that you have done.
(Gabriel reaches into his pocket. He pulls out all unmarked bottle of pills.)
Gabriel: Have your wife take one of these a day for seven days. They will regain her strength.
Ramon: Gracias Gabriel.
Gabriel: Get some rest. You have a long day tomorrow.
(He walks off into the night. Gabriel returns to his home.)
Carina: Hey babe. (She kisses him on the cheek. He has a certain look on his face) What's wrong?
Gabriel: She was on the verge of death. I had to use my ...Plagas in order to heal her.
(Carina understands his concern)
Carina: There was no other choice, was there? How did..they react.
Gabriel: They had a look of fear on their faces. They have never seen anything like that before.
Carina: They are bound to inform people about you.
Gabriel: I made them swear secrecy in order to save her life. That's all I can hold them too. Where is Anthony?
Carina: He's asleep.
Gabriel: Were you able to take a sample of his DNA
Carina: I managed to grab a couple of hairs from his head. What is this all about?
Gabriel: I need to get to my lab. I want to see if the Las Plagas DNA is present in our sons body.
Carina: And if it is?
Gabriel: I will have to teach him how to control it. But it has been a long day and I am tired. Maybe I'll continue my work tomorrow.
(They go to their bed room. The pass Anthony's room. He is sound asleep. The parents go to their room. They get into bed. They start getting cozy. They start getting real cozy. They start making passionate love. After several hours of love making they both fall asleep.)
