THE ETERNAUT
Ace of spades and 33, Ruso.
You're going out a winner.
The fever isn't going down.
Exactly.
I think you should talk to Ana.
So he stays with them.
- So they take him? - Yeah.
In this state?
The only thing we should be worrying about right now is Clara.
Yeah, I know. But we brought him here.
Why burden them with taking care of him?
- So, you're giving up? Is that it? - Excuse me?
It's like you don't want to look for her.
How can you say that?
Do you think I'm settling for a consolation prize?
- Lucas, get ready. - Where are we going?
- To get more supplies. - More? They won't fit in the sailboat.
It's our last trip, Ana.
We need another car too.
Once he's better, I'll go my own way.
Do whatever you want.
And we thought Wi-Fi would fix the world. My God, we're helpless.
They know the girl's last name, don't they?
Look it up in the phone book.
I have a few downstairs.
BUENOS AIRES PHONE BOOK
SUPERMARKET - BRIGHT FUTURE
All clear.
If the owner saw us ransacking the store, he'd die all over again.
Inga.
- Inga, do you copy? - Hi. Do you hear me?
Yes. Loud and clear.
It's like having a cell phone.
How's everything over there? Any news about my neighbors?
Everything's fine, but Salvo left again.
What happened?
They found the girl's address. She lives downtown.
It looks like this old hoarder did well after all.
Okay, Inga. Stay sharp.
We can keep in touch now.
Okay, Fava. I'll keep you guys posted.
Over and out.
"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Did I hear that right?
Juan went downtown by himself?
TRAIN STATION
I'm not gonna let some damn snowstorm ruin a 40-year-old friendship.
Thirty-eight-year-old.
I'll take you. Then we'll all go to the island.
Make up your mind, Tano.
First, you didn't wanna leave. Now you wanna go to the island.
It's too risky.
Have you heard of the Van Allen belt?
No.
It's a ring of radioactive particles that surrounds the Earth,
suspended by the magnetic force of the poles.
It's like a shield that protects the Earth from solar winds and all that.
But if the poles stop working…
If they stop working,
the radioactive particles would rain down on us.
The snow?
Isn't it amazing?
Fragments of the Van Allen belt up close.
This is our new normal, Juan.
And this?
Did the poles cause this too?
IT ALL STARTS AT A PREGAME
Juan!
What are you doing here?
You can't be out here. It's too dangerous.
My house is on the other side.
You can't go there.
Access is restricted until further notice.
I don't understand a word you're saying, god damn it!
Patience, gentlemen.
Help is on the way.
They're working on it at Campo de Mayo.
Return to your homes and wait there.
Campo de Mayo? Why there?
They know more than they're letting on.
I'll try to sneak in behind them. You go back home.
- What? - I'm coming with you.
I'm itching to know more.
Look, Tano.
Go.
Over there. See?
- Is that them? - They stopped there.
- I'm gonna talk to them. - No. About what?
- They told us to stay! - Your daughter.
- Don't. - They'll understand.
- They saw us. Back up. - Fuck.
- Back up. They're shooting at us. - I know.
- Fuck! - Drive!
- Turn here! - There!
This is nuts! Holy shit!
- Watch out! What's that coming at us? - A guy!
Come on!
Let's go.
Are you all right?
You had your eyes open for a bit, but you weren't talking.
What are those things? Where'd they come from?
- I can't stop thinking about Ana. - Yeah.
Alone in the middle of this insanity.
I don't hear anything.
Did you go check?
I didn't have the guts.
What are you doing? Juan!
What are you doing?
Juan!
Juan.
Fuck!
Hey!
Follow me!
- Are you okay? - I miscalculated is all.
- Did you kill the bugs with that? - Yep.
Jorgito, Scout Hawk Patrol.
Micky. Roberts.
- Boy Scouts? - "Be prepared."
New friends!
Welcome.
Come on, get up. Let them sit down.
Either of you got a cigarette?
Sit wherever you like. Put your stuff down.
What happened to the soldiers?
Did you come with them?
No.
- We're alone. - Did they say whether they’ve got a plan?
No. They mentioned Campo de Mayo.
But they didn't say much.
Are you hurt? Any broken bones?
- No. - No.
Make yourselves at home. Watch your guns. This is a place of peace.
What are they doing here?
You know each other?
Yeah, unfortunately.
You're making a mistake. These guys are dangerous.
He's violent. He shot his neighbors.
- Easy. - I'm serious, Rengo.
Calm down.
I'm serious, Rengo. Believe me.
- They're bad news. - Young man.
Okay, Risotto. You're right. Your house, your rules.
- You motherfu-- - Ignore him.
Please. Not again.
Okay?
Does anyone know where those bugs came from?
From the lights in the sky.
Haven't you seen the lights?
Juan, it's an invasion.
- No! - What are you doing?
- I need to go! - No!
- Ana's alone! - The streets are crawling with bugs.
- Ana's alone… - You're putting all of us in danger.
- Well? Is it good? - Stop that.
False alarm.
Ever heard of the HAARP project?
The Americans use it to control the weather.
How do you explain those creatures? What's your theory?
Genetically modified insects.
If they want, they can transform a tiny cockroach into a giant bug.
- What's he talking about? - Beats me.
All I know is we gotta get the hell out of here.
This guy is the best shot here. We saw him in action. He could help us.
I can't.
- I'm trying to find my daughter. - Oh, well…
Talk about solidarity.
- What's your problem? - Are you talking to me?
Yeah. What's your problem? You keep staring. Why?
I think I know you from somewhere.
Well, you're wrong. So drop it.
You're making me nervous with all that stuff.
Me? You should be nervous about them.
Quit that banging. Can't you see we're trying to sleep?
The lights were out. The place was closed.
Suddenly, I saw the bucket with the sponge started moving back and forth.
Were you alone?
Yeah. I worked late-night security for the car wash.
I'm about 15 blocks away from Clara's friend's house.
I'll keep going. You should come with me.
Tano, are you coming along?
- How do you do it, Juan? - Do what?
How do you get over things so quickly?
You even managed to eat.
- It's them! - The kids are back!
- Get ready. - Thank God!
My things.
- Here. - Quickly.
My stuff, Rita, hurry.
See? I told you Pecas could handle going out.
Is that all?
We went all over the place just to get food.
Did you go through the tunnel?
- We didn't have time. - Fuck.
It's like an anthill out there. They keep popping out.
We haven't seen our real enemy yet.
Our real enemy?
Can you imagine those bugs flying spaceships? I can't.
Who's this know-it-all?
Jorgito and I rescued them.
What part of "stay here" did you not understand?
- Who do you think you are? A superhero? - Calm down.
Okay. Cheer up.
We have food. We'll cook something.
- Something good. - Yeah.
- Not beans, though. - My mouth's watering.
Leaving without saying goodbye?
Keep your mouth shut. Okay?
Is it true you served in the Malvinas?
You learned to shoot fighting at Mount Longdon, huh?
Did Ruso tell you that?
- I don't want to fight. - What do you want?
Your help.
- Mine? - Yeah.
At Vuelta de Obligado,
there's an underpass that goes across the General Paz highway.
Rengo used to live there.
It's closed off because it wasn’t being used,
but he’s positive it's still there.
- Stop it. - Calm down.
I am calm, dammit.
The kids are doing their best.
But if we stay here, sooner or later the bugs will find us.
We told them about the tunnel, but they don't believe us.
Try walking across the rooftops with them. Can't be that hard.
It is for us older folks.
Awesome. A can of peas.
Try Favalli.
You two are buddies.
It wasn't Ruso who told me about the Malvinas.
It was Rengo.
You came back on the same boat.
That's where he met you.
That's nuts. It's hard to get there.
What's the problem, Pecas? I don't understand your hesitation.
You could've tried.
- I'll do it. - Shut up.
Let's say the tunnel exists. We don't have cars.
How will we get him out? On foot?
He's right. They'll eat us alive.
There's a car on the wall.
I saw it.
Weren't you leaving?
You're not welcome here.
Does it work?
The engine sounded okay.
- Are we all in agreement? - Yes.
- Yeah. - Yes?
- Let's get to work. Right now. - Okay. Let's go.
- Take your backpack. - Let's go.
Let's go.
Whose is this?
Roque and I are leaving.
There we go.
Put the blanket on the floor.
Why aren't you getting ready?
I'm not going.
Rita wants to stay. I'm not leaving her alone here.
Why didn't you say anything?
You were so upset that I figured you didn't wanna talk.
We can't. He'll die.
- I don't give a shit! - Hey, calm down!
I go where the dog goes. And he goes where I go!
Good thing you're going with them, or they wouldn't last five minutes.
I am calm!
Stop it.
Do strange things happen to you too?
- Strange how? - I don't know. It's like…
Strange images flash through my mind.
I don't know if it's the snow…
but I'm having flashbacks from the Malvinas.
Two soldiers exploring some ruins.
A building on fire at dawn.
Things.
Images.
Maybe it's things that only you see.
Bye. Take care of yourself.
You sure you don't have a cigarette?
I'm dying for a smoke.
Come on. Let's go.
Move out.
Careful.
Come on.
Come out.
GENERAL PAZ AVENUE 13TH DISTRICT
It's that one over there, I think!
The bus!
- All right! - Yes!
Good.
Mommy's here. Calm down.
Come on, Roque.
Calm down.
Roque, calm down. It's okay.
It's okay, baby. It's okay.
Careful. Watch out.
Come out one by one.
Go on, Pecas.
Let's go.
Go.
Calm down.
There we go. Then we'll keep going. It's okay.
Run!
- Let's go. - I can't. I need to fix my suit.
- Go on! - I'm staying!
Run! The bugs!
To the back!
Motherfuckers!
- What happened? - Let's go.
Come on!
Watch the stairs. Careful with the baby.
I spent the whole night looking for one.
Yes! Hell yeah!
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I am.
Yeah.
Put it in reverse.
Wait!
The wheel is spinning in the air! I'll go get a wedge!
Push!
Push there!
Fucking bug!
I knew I could smoke your ass, and I did!
I knew it!
Tano, are you all right?
- Yes! - Yeah?
- Yeah, Juan! - Are you hurt?
Come on, Juan!
Come on!
The bug moved it!
The motherfucker moved the car. We can leave!
Calm down. Come here.
The bugs are moving.
Get in the back!
Let's go!
Come on!
- Come on! - Get in.
Juan!
Yes!
Yes! We lost them!
Hell yeah!
- All right! - Nice!
Hell yeah!
