THE ETERNAUT
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Hard to decide, huh?
Too many options.
I'm looking for a wet suit for one of my kids.
He's into water sports now.
Wow.
That's teenagers for you.
They try everything. Whatever makes them happy, right?
I'm still here, somewhere deep inside my head.
Never stop searching.
Dad!
Juan!
Again?
-You fainted. We were worried. -Give me that. Hand it over.
Are you okay, Dad?
The flowers grew back!
Hold on a sec.
Fire, privates! Fire!
Aim! Fire!
The white dot is the neck! Come on!
Come on, privates! Aim straight for the neck!
-Fire! -Come on!
-Let's go! They're coming! -Fire!
-They're turning us into actual soldiers. -Fire!
-Clara! -Come on!
Come on!
Listen, Juan. Don't be stupid. Talk to Ana.
Ana can't help me.
Let's take you to the hospital, then. You can't keep going like this.
-All I need is to get out of here. -Come on!
Alfredo Favalli!
-Faster! -Do I know you?
Come with me, please.
Faster!
Let's go, privates!
Fire like this. Because with your hands…
-You. Come here. Come on. -Fire, privates! Fire!
Aim.
Fire!
Tano.
There's water.
We are recruiting volunteers.
This is not just about surviving, but also reclaiming our home.
I'll take these to Mom.
Please follow instructions after exiting your vehicles.
Register at the information booth next to the hospital tent
to receive medical attention…
Remain calm and proceed in an orderly manner.
Does this hurt?
-Did you like the last one? -Yes.
You like adventure stories, right? Shall we get another?
-Be right back. Go ahead and start, okay? -Okay.
Look.
-It's wonderful. They bloomed. -I can't believe it.
Mom?
Handling an emergency.
We can put these in water, right?
I'm not sure about the water, but I'll put them somewhere.
-Okay. Thanks, Aunt Ana. -You're welcome.
…but also reclaiming our home.
Please, follow instructions after stepping out of the vehicles.
Remain calm and proceed in an orderly manner.
You are in a safe zone.
Register at the information booth…
Thanks.
Any progress?
No.
We're stuck. The equipment doesn't work. There's nothing we can do.
-Mom. -I need help.
-Yes-- -For you.
Thank you, darling.
-Go outside. Stay away from this tent. -Okay, fine.
-I'll bring them later. -Thanks.
Yes.
-Get a nurse, please. -Okay.
These marks indicate the proximity of the bugs…
That way, Favalli.
The situation is very complicated.
A little bird told us you are an electronic engineer.
Can you fix this radio?
This is a relic.
Where did you get it?
Favalli, did you complete conscription?
No, I did not.
Low number?
"Physically unfit for duty."
So, PUD.
What would you say if I told you
is it time to show your loyalty to your country?
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
Hi, Dad.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Are you still having those episodes?
This place doesn't help much, huh?
No. It's not easy.
Dad.
Why can't I learn how to shoot too?
I never said you couldn't.
-Well… -What I'm saying-- Look at me.
You're coming out of a crisis.
You're not stable enough. You need time and rest. That's it.
Are you stable enough?
From what I see,
you're still having your episodes, and not resting, either.
It's completely different.
-No, it's not, Dad. -Yes.
No. I'm here because I was able to defend myself. I'm not a kid.
I know, honey. I know.
Okay.
Who do you think you are, Sergeant Cabral?
-Are you crazy? -Think about it.
No, fuck that! I'm not doing it.
-I'll be right back. -They're insane.
I'm not the only one who knows about that.
In here, you are. I couldn't play dumb, you know.
-What's wrong? -Ask the sergeant here.
What happened?
The officers want to send a message to all the survivors.
They need an engineer, so I told them about Tano.
Yes. The thing is, we'd have to go downtown.
How will they get through the wall? I don't follow.
-By hitting it with a train. -What?
It's a suicide mission, and they want me to do it.
It would be, if we didn't have a plan. This one's good, I think it'll work.
How do you know that?
We'll send the message and come back.
-You're going too? -Of course. I won't let him do this alone.
He's insane, Juan. Insane.
-He wants to get me killed. -Listen. We could save a lot of people.
Think about it.
No. I've been to hell already, and I'm not going back.
After everything, haven't you learned this is not about saving your own ass?
I'm not as enlightened as you. Sorry!
You heard what they said to me.
If we don't act fast, we'll all be in danger.
I'm not just talking about the bugs.
What's gotten into him?
-No idea! -He's acting strange.
The dynamic duo.
We have a kitchen shift. Shall we go?
-Right. See you guys later. -Let's go.
Let's ask for some ice to…
Well? Any news?
About what?
About the officers' plan to go back to the capital.
We wanna help.
I don't know. Ask Lucas. He's up-to-date on all that.
I can't stop thinking about her.
Who?
The woman from the mall.
I don't get why she did that.
She had three kids.
There are loose cannons everywhere.
It's best to stay close to the pack.
Please, follow instructions after stepping out of the vehicles.
Register at the information booth next to the hospital tent
to receive medical attention and directions.
Remain calm and proceed in an orderly manner.
You are in a safe zone.
Isn't that Roberto?
It is.
Roberto!
Roberto.
Roberto. It's me, Favalli.
We traded homes, remember?
Where's Benito? And the others?
They've wrecked everything, there are no survivors.
Not one.
They can't force you to go.
They're not, they're asking for my help.
Say no, then.
It's not that easy, Ana.
-How can we stay here if I don't? -We don't.
I'm glad they've arrived.
And with all the equipment.
We're here temporarily.
Let's pick up and go.
And go where?
Where we discussed. Their house in Tigre.
Clara needs help.
Juan.
-Lister to her. -Yes.
Clari is getting care here.
The only thing Clara needs is a quiet place to recover.
I don't know, Juan.
Maybe it's time we face reality.
What reality would that be?
Maybe the island is a no-man's-land now.
And all we have is this.
Why don't you show yourself? Do you think I didn't see you there?
-Why are you following me? -It's all in your head, sir.
What the hell do you want?
Sorry, boss. We wanna talk to you.
We're all here.
Relax. We're unarmed.
We don't mean trouble. Trust us.
Trust you?
You disappeared before the massacre. What a coincidence.
-No, you're way off. -Am I?
Yeah.
We were already here by then. Ask the captain if you don't believe me.
We couldn't approach you earlier, so here we are.
So you convince your friend, the one with the mustache,
to come with us on this mission.
The train engine's in a garage in José León Suárez.
There's a train stop right around the corner. At the door, almost.
How can you be sure that will work?
I'm a motorman.
I grew up driving trains with my granddad.
That's how.
Do you work miracles too?
Apologies if we scared you.
Good night.
Sir, don't steer away from your faith.
The dragon is loose.
SAINT GEORGE
Why lose our hope
When there is so much to see?
Why lose our hope
If there's so much love around?
It is not a farewell
But a brief goodbye
Very soon, by the fire
We will meet again
Hand in hand
By the fire
Tonight we will make
A circle of love
Why lose our hope
To meet again?
Why lose our hope
If there's so much love around?
Go.
Hey, what the hell is that?
Look.
Are they ours?
-I have no idea. -This is good news.
It means people are regrouping. Maybe they're from Córdoba. Who knows.
It's a good sign.
We're not alone.
Let's go. I don't wanna hear a peep.
RAILWAY COMPANY ROLLING STOCK DEPARTMENT
Franco, what do we do?
Form groups. I'll let you know.
-Moro. -Everyone!
Two teams! Right, left.
Careful.
There.
It must fit perfectly.
Watch your hand.
Let's go! Pick up the pace! We have to switch this one on first.
He's asking for a beating, and I'm feeling very generous.
He's the expert here.
I know him from somewhere. I don't like him.
It's a penthouse.
This is the heart of the engine.
This right here is the engine switch.
To think I wanted to be a motorman.
It was my lifelong dream.
All clear.
Hey, come here, fellas! Come on! Get on!
Get on, everyone! Come on!
Group B! Come with me!
You're coming with me, kid.
What? I'm with them.
Obey him. Don't argue.
-Get ready to descend! -Inga.
You're needed elsewhere. They know what they're doing.
Let's go! Get off! Come on!
Go on.
Two minutes, captain! Two minutes! Hold tight!
Get ready for impact! May God help you!
Privates, two minutes for impact! Long live our motherland!
Hurrah!
The land that gives you your life
Also gives you time to decide
By choosing smartly
Everybody could be happy
Cold tomato juice
In your veins
In your veins you must have
Cold tomato juice!
In your veins
In your…
We did it!
-We did it! -Yeah! We made it through!
We made it through, Juan!
We did it!
-Hell yeah! -Yeah!
Three discharges!
That's the signal! Hurry up, come on!
What's wrong, private? Your friends are alive. Aren't you happy?
I should be with them. I don't know why I'm here.
Hold on.
I almost forgot.
The Venezuelan girl gave me this for you. A lucky charm.
Her brother's cap.
-Why are we stopping? -No more tracks.
The tank is busted.
It's 200 meters away.
The one we saw before.
I told you they were Hercules.
-Who must have knocked it down? -Not the bugs, I'm sure. They can't fly.
Go on.
Let's go.
Shit, I don't like this deadly silence.
Me neither. I've had a strange feeling since we came in.
-Strange how? -What?
Where are the bugs?
We haven't seen a single one on this side.
Wait.
Hey, Tano.
There were people here not too long ago. Look around.
I don't know about timelines, but I'm sure they were organized.
But why did they leave? There are no traces of a bug attack.
-Maybe they went to Campo de Mayo. -That's impossible.
There weren't many folks from the capital.
Well, then, maybe people are getting regrouped in other places.
Many others are fighting back, we're not alone.
Attention!
Bob, Raúl, Inga, come with me.
-That's an order. Come on. -No, wait. No.
She stays here with me.
I'm the boss. If you don't like it, go back to base.
You walk back! You treated us like cattle!
-Calm down. -I'll go. Stay here.
I chose to fight, and I will.
I don't want to lose you.
Take care.
Should we carry this one?
PERUVIAN ARMED FORCES
They've left us a little present.
Lieutenant!
The target was River Plate Stadium.
Why fly all the way from Peru to bomb a football stadium?
Maybe there's something there.
Let's take this to Campo de Mayo.
Hey!
Attention.
This is a message from the Argentine Army.
Our nation is fighting an unknown enemy.
An unprecedented attack
has submerged our streets into darkness and silence.
But we have not been defeated.
The Resistance is alive and well.
We are calling all survivors…
We are calling all survivors
to go to Campo de Mayo.
I repeat.
Those who can go to Campo de Mayo
will find refuge and safety there.
You are not alone. Together, we are strong.
This message will play every five minutes.
If you are listening, pass the message around.
Long live the Resistance! Long live Argentina!
Shouldn't there be news by now?
Here.
Thanks.
They're going out now?
Why not wait until the sun rises?
I tried to stop her, but couldn't.
Is it me, or are they taking Inga's car?
Yes. They asked to borrow it before she left.
Are you sad that they're leaving?
Pecas hates me.
No, Clari.
-She's upset about her brother. -No.
Why do you say that, honey?
Because she does.
We have not been defeated.
The Resistance is alive and well.
We are calling all survivors…
-Yes! I knew it! It works, damn it! -What dial?
It works! At the last dial!
It works!
…will find refuge and safety there.
-Yes! -You are not alone.
-There they are! -Yes!
Suruka!
Look! Over there!
You do the honors, sir. Here.
Hell yes. Yes!
Do it!
Yes!
-Yes! -Yes!
Hell yeah!
Yes!
-Well? -You can hear it fine.
Although the mic popped at times.
Oh! No, it must be the wind. We have to move the equipment inside!
What is that?
There!
I don't know, but let's focus on the radio broadcasting!
Let's move the equipment!
Let's go that way.
I'll get the team ready to leave.
Attention.
This is a message from the Argentine Army.
Our nation is fighting an unknown enemy.
I've always wanted to be a radio operator.
Dude.
Dude! Hey.
Aren't you going to send people to look into that? The light. You saw it.
-In another mission. -No. Listen. It's close by.
It could be important.
The other team hasn't returned.
I can't put anyone else at risk.
They haven't returned yet.
Who?
-Inga and those who went to the plane. -Yes, they have.
What?
Abate said they haven't.
It must be a misunderstanding. Someone downstairs told me they have.
They're in the train engine, to gain time.
Why haven't these idiots told us?
-I'm going to the train, then. -Are you crazy?
This is a labyrinth. You'll cross paths or get lost. Stay here.
Don't make trouble.
Let's get the hell out of here soon.
-It's cold here, isn't it? -Yeah.
Let's find a room to hang out inside.
Do you know how people say everyone has a soulmate?
Well, yours lives right here.
Look.
Wow.
Look.
It's like a museum.
Oh my! Look.
-This is a true relic. Wonderful. -Incredible.
How did you find this apartment?
I was so stressed about Inga, I couldn't stand still.
Fancy a "keywhis"? Like Ruso used to say.
-I could really use some. -I can't believe it.
-What? -Patience rewarded. Look, Juan.
We looked everywhere, remember?
Of course, how could I not?
You dragged me for hours through Bond Street. Remember?
-Lucas. Look. -Do you remember or not?
Incredible.
Cheers!
-Cheers. -Cheers.
There we go.
Yes.
Let's enjoy this moment.
It's delicious.
Everything has changed so much so fast.
Some things never change, though, Luqui.
Shall we play some truco?
In memory of Ruso.
-Captain. -Yes?
-There's movement 200 meters away. -Bugs?
A civilian.
Give it to me.
Put it out.
It's Moro.
Moro, why did you take so long? What happened?
I accept.
I'm sure I've won. Thirty-one.
-Show your cards. -There you go, 31.
-Good debut. -Right?
-How much did you have? -29.
-Very good. -Show me your cards.
Don't you trust me?
I do, but you're not being a team player. It's annoying. You know me.
Relax, guys.
The idea was to play to… think about something else, have fun.
Don't fight over this.
-I had 29, I had to call it. 7 plus 2. -They're losers anyway.
Listen. You're very spacey today.
Let's focus so we can win.
You're losing every hand.
Me? I thought we were playing as a team.
Oh, come on, you're not being a team player.
I had 29, stop busting my balls.
-Turn that over. -Yeah.
-Do they always fight like this? -Oh, shut up.
The opposite. They're each other's soulmate.
-I don't know what's with him. -Come on, play.
I'll play high.
Not calling it.
-Envido. -Envido.
Falta envido.
Are you sure?
He's angry. That's pure anger right there.
He's bluffing. Look at him. Look.
-I'm gonna accept. -As you please. I don't know.
Okay. I accept. Twenty-eight.
Twenty-eight?
Tano, any points?
Zero points.
-You used the signal. -Signal?
With your nose.
-What do you mean? -You touched your nose.
-No, I didn't, damn it. -Yes.
-Are you fucking with me? -He did. Didn't you see it?
-I didn't. -You've lost twice now! Are you nuts?
Where's your head at?
Help me out a little, Lucas. Save my ass for once.
Please.
-Fuck this! I'm not playing anymore! -Hey! We're just teasing. Relax.
Lucas.
He's crazy. What happened? Are you okay?
-No, I'm not. -Let me see. Let me see, damn it!
Put pressure on it. Hurry!
-Yes, damn it. -It hurts a lot.
Let me see. I'll go get the first aid kit. I'll be back, I promise.
Okay, hurry up. Hurry up, please.
I know what you're saying about me because I can hear you.
Careful what you say.
The phones are tapped.
What's going on, Lucas?
Someone is trying to harm the foundation.
Someone is conspiring to…
Stay there.
Stop!
Luqui.
What are you doing?
Don't move, Tano. Stand still.
Turn off the flashlight.
They're doing a great job here.
And if you do a bad job, things will get very ugly.
Don't pay for anything. Everything's been paid for.
If they ask for US dollars, say no. It's a scam.
We are here.
With you.
Calm down, Luqui.
Why don't you try to explain?
We are your friends. We can help you.
Golden showers are coming!
-No! -No!
-Lucas! Damn! -No!
Tano.
We have to leave right now.
Let's go!
Come!
The batteries ran out.
We have to leave. Let's go!
For fuck's sake, I'm beat. How far are we?
I don't know, but we're closer.
Juan.
Tano.
What should we do about Lucas?
Nothing.
There's nothing we can do. You know that, right?
He's gone.
Yes.
Is that Bob?
Yes.
-He's clueless. -What is he doing?
Bob! Hey, Bob!
Here! Come! It's them!
-Hurry up! -He's with them.
-Let's go! Come on! -He's with them!
Come on.
Move over.
Come on.
Hang in there.
-Careful. -Yes.
Come on.
-Easy, Omar. -Hey!
Hey!
We're here!
-They're gone, man! They've left! -Motherfuckers!
-Motherfuckers! They've left us all alone. -Where have they gone?
-Easy. Breathe. -No.
Hang in there.
-I'm losing a lot of blood. -No. You're fine.
-Juan. -Over there! With the lights! Let's go.
-Omar. -Grab my arm! One more push.
I'm exhausted.
-Come on. -You can do it. Come on, Omar.
Come on.
-Do you think there are others? -I don't know. We'll see. Come on.
Inga. Is Inga there?
-Calm down. We hope she is. -We're close. We're close, Omar.
-Fuck! -Inga!
-It's them! -Goddamn it!
-Go! -Motherfuckers!
-Go! -Inga!
Go!
Come on, Omar! Come on!
-And the others? -They're all gone.
-Let's go! -Get on! Get on, Omar!
-Get on! -Get on, Omar!
Hurry up!
What the hell is going on?
I don't know.
They came out of nowhere and started shooting at us.
Like at the shopping mall.
Same thing.
You mean they're collaborators?
I don't know, but for some reason, they let us send the message.
It was a trap.
I can't abandon her. I have to go get her.
Sit down, Omar. You can't go anywhere.
-What about my comrade? Did you see him? -Wasn't he with you?
He went back to check what was going on.
We didn't see him. We saw Bob and the lieutenant.
They've switched sides.
Any cartridges left?
Yes. Two.
Hand them over.
What'll you do?
I'm going to the stadium.
I want to look into it.
We have to go to Campo de Mayo and tell them.
You will do that.
Tano.
We're way too close to that light.
Think of Lucas.
I'll join you.
I need to find my comrade.
If you leave, who will drive?
Wasn't it your dream?
Come with me. I'll teach you. Move!
Take care.
Go.
Juan.
Find her.
This stick right here is the hand brake.
-Works like a pawl. Look. -Yes.
Okay? And it stops. Use this lever to disengage it.
Good luck.
What are you writing?
Everything that happened.
I don't want to forget it.
Are you a writer?
No. A journalist.
Mosca.
Ruperto Mosca.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
What do we do?
I wouldn't get involved in another spat.
Our goal is to get to River Plate Stadium.
What if they're comrades?
C35 passengers.
Your group's address is in your right pocket.
What the hell is that?
Give me the gun.
That's it.
Where the hell is the ladder?
What if Mosca is right, and they're collaborators?
Humans and bugs together?
What language do they speak?
We're close.
Are you okay?
Fuck.
I remember where I know you from.
I've been here… before.
I've done this before.
Juan.
In the gazebo.
What the fuck is that thing?
The enemy.
That's our real enemy.
That thing controls them.
They're like robots.
