Day 2: THEY KNOW!? (aka, monsters among us)
Before explaining what does the tittle mean and who are "they", here is a new clip of the movie with Sara, Pickles and we finally hear what Ramirez sounds like in the original dub (it's beautiful):
La cinta de Enrique Gato se estrenará en España el 26 de agosto
(Sara arrives at the Louvre Museum. She gasps as she sees all the mess outside)
Reporter 1: Tad Stones strikes again. First Chicago and now Paris.
Reporter 2: The french police joins the persecution of the dangerous criminal Tad Stones.
Reporter 3: Vampires, zombies, aliens. Are they living among us?
Agent Pickles (looking at the "fixed" Mona Lisa): Ah. There are people who only want to see the world burn (sneezes)
Agent Ramirez: Pickles, look at this.
Pickles: Oh, how I want to capture that Stones and apply him the key to sleep.
Ramirez: (sighs) Listen. They are going to the Nile's waterfall. We should alert-
Pickles: (not listening) The key to sleep Ramirez is the first thing you learn at the CIA. One touch on a vital point and the enemy falls unconscious.
Ramirez: Can you do me the favor to listen!? And you can't eat here!
Pickles: Seriously? (he eats the croissant entirely) Problem solved. (sneezes again)
The Mona Lisa: *is ruined again*
Ramirez: (sees the painting and gasps)
Pickles: Ah (looks at Ramirez, guilty)
-----------------------------------------------
So, to resume: Tad is considered an international dangerous criminal, the agents are there after they failed to capture the team (with Pickles being sick for falling into the water), Ramirez founds out about the group's journey thanks to Mummy's account, Pickles is in his own world (or his own case) and...
The reporter mentioned something about monsters hidding in plain sight!?
This guy (who I suppose is paranormal TV host Iker Jimenez's cameo) just dropped what we could considerate a massive bomb on us and what could change the franchise forever.
People have seen the mummies, people have recognized as real monsters. There is a TV channel that is broadcasting other types of monsters to possibly live among them. People got curious about the unknow that they are debating whenever this is true or not. And if it's confirmed at the end that it's true?
What does that mean for Victoria Moon? Will her TV show increase in ratings? For the mummies, are they going to expose themselves to the human world?
For people like Rackham, Max or Oddyseus, does that mean free cash is on their way and will take advantage of the fact that monsters don't have rights that could protect them?
Gente, this is getting out of hand, in a really good way. I hope things don't get on the status quo of "cool costume, special effects or it was bait all along" becuase the concept of monsters being a minority in a world full of humans sounds promising. Also the fact the there could be more monsters out there who are just hidding. Maybe they will start to come out after the mummies reveal themselves to the public. Maybe one of said monsters is the antagonist or villain of the fourth movie.
Again, they have the potential. Crossing fingers the crew recognize it as well.
