THE ETERNAUT
SAINT GEORGE
The supermarket.
Ana!
Tano!
What's your plan?
We're gonna make it to Campo de Mayo.
- Good luck! Take care. - Thanks!
Okay, let's go.
I'm staying. My gun.
Thanks for everything!
- Juan! - What is it?
You just gotta come here. Come on.
Dad.
Clara, honey.
Where did you find her?
She found us, Juan.
I remembered it was Friday night Truco.
Right. Yeah.
Juan. Juan, it's a miracle.
We're all together.
She found us, Juan.
Thank you.
Come here. Come here.
Hey.
Tano, what the hell is going on?
- Is it true, what they're saying? - Who's saying what?
The neighbors came by, talking about some bugs.
Can you tell us anything?
We need to get the hell outta here, that's all.
Tano's right.
You have no idea what's coming our way.
Where did he come from?
She was freezing when she got here, the poor thing.
- Did she mention how she made it here? - She couldn't.
The only thing she could say was, "Momma! Momma! Momma!"
What's this here? Did you see this?
- Yes, I saw it. - Feel it.
- Don't worry. - Hmm?
The three of us are here.
Relax.
Come on.
Okay.
C'mon, Pablito. Put your back into it, will ya?
- All right. - Come on.
Okay. We're almost there.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Ouch.
Who are those guys?
Where's Alfredo?
Saavedra looked like a damn war zone.
From what we've heard, downtown is even worse.
But how many bugs are we talking about?
Hundreds of them, all within just a couple of miles.
Then we gotta get outta here. Now.
- Well… - And go where?
Maybe it's even more dangerous just to roam around out there.
I don't know! All I know is that we need a vehicle.
Anyone have anything we might be able to use?
I've got an RV.
- I'm willing to trade it. - What do you want for it?
Your house and this garage.
If what they say about Campo de Mayo is true…
they have all kinds of weapons, Roberto.
Think about it.
Why the hell did we go to that army base, damn it?
We have weapons!
We can fight! If you wanna leave, be my guest.
But the houses should be for those who stay and fight for them.
Take it or leave it, Favalli.
Deal? Or are you just all talk?
It's nice, huh?
Moby Dick.
Careful.
These are the keys to the connecting garage door.
It's a little stiff. We hadn't used it in a long time.
Lucas, go get Juan.
The stove in the kitchen has three burners.
One of them leaks gas.
- Good luck. Take care. - Juan. come on.
Thanks, Benito. Are you sure you don't wanna come with us?
I would, but I can't. My dad would never leave the hardware store.
It's his whole life.
Nice ride, right? It's a shame it's such a short trip.
- Need any help? - No, thanks.
Where did this come from?
Clara was wearing that when she got here. Why?
This is mine. It was on the sailboat.
Are you sure?
I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence.
Inga! How about a little snack for the road?
No! You…
No! Just a little snack for the road. It's real cheap.
- It's not much, but it's honest work. - Hey, let's go. Hurry up.
For him too? Cool.
A round table and a doctor
Step into the sun, explode
Step into the sun
You okay, Juan?
Go out into the sun, idiots
Want some? They're still nice and warm.
- What is that? - Tortillita santiagueña.
Don't do that. It's not safe.
You care about me, don't ya? Nah, I'll be fine.
Have some.
- Is it good? I've never tried it. - Yeah. It's a delicacy for poor people.
But you should eat it now because it's much better when it's warm.
Here.
Motherfucker!
- What happened? - What a reckless idiot!
Why are they in such a hurry? What are they running away from?
I bet it's the bugs.
Wouldn't be surprised to see some around here.
Keep driving.
I can't wait to get to the island.
The water is like 300 yards out, and the river bank is totally muddy.
Maybe there's water further north. We could try sailing from there.
We are gonna go to Campo de Mayo.
My house on the island is the best place to hold out.
I'm tired of holding out, Fava.
Let's take the Panamericana to Buen Ayre Highway.
We'll see from there. Okay?
You go ahead. I'll go get something from the boat.
This could be a tsunami.
The water pulls back,
and then a massive wave crashes in and wipes everything out.
What's with all the traffic?
It was a long weekend.
Right, the holidays.
What's that?
That's the crazy guy who almost crashed into us.
What happened to him?
Was it an accident, or do you think it was the bugs?
I think it was neither.
Mom! Mom!
Baby. Sweetie.
We're going to the island.
To your godfather's house.
- And the girls? - What girls?
Loli. Loli and Tati, uh… I promised them I'd be back.
Don't worry, Clara. The girls will be fine.
You sure they'll be okay?
- Yes, sweetheart. - Okay.
Did you get any rest, Clari?
Yeah. Thankfully, yeah.
- Tano! - What's up, little star?
Hi! How are you?
- Good. How are you? How are you doing? - Good, thanks.
- You want something to eat? - Yes, please. I'm so thirsty too.
- Is that tasty? - Mm. Delicious.
Maybe when we get there, you can cook something more filling.
Me? Are you sure? I think she likes Tano's cooking better.
Oh, Tano! I would love some of your tomato pasta. Can you make some?
Yes, ma'am. Sure. Your wish is my command.
You have no idea how much we missed you, Clari. So much.
And what your dad and I went through trying to find you.
We searched everywhere.
- So, you were on the boat all along? - What boat?
The Nonino. Which else?
No, no. No, I wasn't. I, uh…
I was actually at Mom's. And at Loli's before that. With the girls.
Weren't you on the boat before that?
No. No, Mama. Not at all.
What about the mask? The one you were wearing?
- Where'd you get it? - What mask?
Is it there? Grab it.
Yeah, when you got to the Favalli's, you were wearing this mask.
- There, you see? - This one.
What? I was wearing that? I don't…
Well, never mind. It's okay. Doesn't matter. It's…
- Yeah, it's no big deal. - Eat this.
- You'll remember soon. Don't worry. - Yeah.
Seems like a few groups getting along just fine.
I wouldn't risk it, Tano.
Let's approach with caution and see.
Juan, look at that truck!
Bobby and Micky! What are they doing here?
What happened to using caution?
- What? Do you know them? - Yeah! A Jedi friend.
Come on.
Hi there.
This way.
Whoa. This place is loaded, man.
Yeah. It's like Disneyland up in here.
There's enough food here to last weeks.
- Hey, buddy. - Hey.
And the bugs haven't gotten here yet.
- And any word from the Resistance? - Not much.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Juanca. Over here. Here.
These are the friends we told you about.
- Hi there. - Hi. How are you?
Help yourselves, okay?
You can eat all you want. Find a spot you like.
But… just keep the weapons away from the kids.
- Got it? - Yes.
- All right. - Thanks a lot.
Let's get 'em settled in, all right?
Stay on alert and hold on to your weapons
because whoever did that back on the highway could be in here too.
Okay.
Who's that?
- He looks excited. - Look who we found outside.
- Jorgito! Awesome, awesome! - Don't get too excited, man.
You can tell he found the wine!
Hey!
Yeah.
Wine makes you look younger, man! Hey, Inga. Come here!
Santa's here!
- Cheers. - Come on! Right there.
Go, Pecas! Go!
Whoo!
- Clara! - So, where are you at?
What do you mean?
I'm right here.
No, brother.
Something's up. You're not here. When Clara showed up, you weren't either.
When I saw her, I had a terrible feeling.
I felt like it wasn't real.
It felt like a simulation.
Like you were all conspiring to make me believe that…
that it was happening in reality, you know?
No.
No. Doesn't matter. Forget it. Never mind.
Let me tell you something.
I owed Ruso a lot of money, to be honest.
The day it began to snow, when he died, I felt relieved.
'Cause I didn't see him as a friend who died.
I saw him as a creditor.
A couple of days later, I felt like shit. Because he was my friend.
But what the hell does that have to do with what I'm telling you?
Well, it's the same thing.
Our heads are playing these tricks on all of us, so we probably shouldn't overthink.
Each time I start singing A chacarera, which will it be?
"Chacarera del rancho," yes, sir!
Yes, of course! Yes, indeed!
Did you see the family that was killed?
What are you talking about?
We saw a shot-up car on the highway.
And it wasn't the bugs, I'm sure of it.
It's not the first time we hear that kind of stuff.
You know, people are just goin' nuts.
That's why we shouldn't let our guard down around just anyone.
I didn't let my guard down.
- I don't mean you guys. - Who do you mean, then?
Who are they?
They're from the all-inclusive around the corner.
The José León Suárez prison.
We don't know if they're survivors or fugitives.
I bet one of them was behind the incident with the family.
What's wrong, Juan?
Nothing's wrong.
I just feel like I know that guy.
A little birdie told me you like skirt steak. Is that right?
I don't eat meat. I'm a vegetarian.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, uh… don't worry. I can get you something else if you want.
Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.
- No! No! - Clara!
- What happened? Clara!
What did he say? What happened?
Calm down. Calm down. Let me help her.
- Breathe, breathe, breathe. - What happened?
Breathe. Breathe.
That's it. Easy. It's okay. Help me get her over there.
Easy now. Easy now. Okay.
- What happened? - That's it. Easy.
- We're fine, thanks. - Are you okay?
- What happened, sweetie? - Slowly, slowly.
- Everything's fine. Come on. - Something happened.
I don't… I don't know what happened. Like, she was cool, and then…
I came up, and I talked to her, and she went nuts.
Her eyes rolled back and all.
All that drama for facial paralysis? What a bitch.
It had nothing to do with you. She's not well.
Her parents are really worried about her.
Besides, we'd seen each before, so it's weird.
Listen to me, Micky. It wasn't your fault, man. That clear?
Now, go find Jorgito. He wants to play Truco with you.
Get this thing outta your head.
All right. You comin'?
But if she messes with my brother again, I'll fuck her up.
That bitch.
What?
Take your pills.
Something's wrong with her.
She just needs to get some rest somewhere nice and quiet.
- Where would that be, though? - On the island.
We don't even know if we'll be able to get there, Juan.
- Stop running away from reality. - What do you propose?
I heard that Campo de Mayo… has a functioning hospital.
Elena.
You know I can't set foot in that place. That'd be the end of me.
I don't wanna meddle.
But maybe going to the island isn't the best idea for Clara,
given her state.
And what makes you say that?
My sailboat wasn't at the mooring.
And I'm sure Clara took it.
This is the logbook for trips and returns.
See? That's her signature.
Ho ho ho!
You jerk! You scared me.
Oh, come on. Don't get mad at me, okay?
Don't get mad at me. Just close your eyes. Okay.
- Ready? No peeking, all right? - Mm-hmm.
Ta-da! There you go.
No way, where did you get this?
Merry Christmas.
Come on. Get it together. They're killin' us here.
- Tell me about it. - Evening.
- Hey there. - Can I sit?
- Yeah, please. - Go ahead.
Yep.
Do you maybe want a smoke?
Sure.
Shoot.
Oh! God damn it, dude. Get it together, We'll never beat them at this rate, man.
- No, you gotta stay relaxed! - Chill. Stay relaxed.
Whoever gets angry gets beaten, right?
The good thing about Truco is that
maybe in the next round, you'll get your revenge.
Well, I guess you never played with someone who never gets a good card.
Heh. Wow. Do you know Favalli?
- Yeah, Mario Brothers. - Mario Brothers.
Yep. Hasn't played a good hand in 40 years.
But anyway, that's not the point.
Look, what's really important is knowing how to bluff.
And having a partner who has your back is essential to keep the lie going.
So show us your bluffing skills, then, will you?
Why not? It'd be my pleasure.
But before I do, I'm getting myself some real booze to work with.
Not this stuff. Because without it, it's not the same.
Wait. I'll come with you. Okay?
- This one's on the house, guys. - Mm-hmm.
Want anything?
- I'll have some beer. - Another beer, yeah.
I don't know. I prefer beer.
Well, here's the thing. Whiskey is like tango.
It's something you grow to like as you age.
- Mm, how 'bout this one? - Hmm?
No, no, I'm looking for this one. See? With the blue label.
Blue label!
Here I am.
There we go. Bingo!
Ah.
Tony?
What? Why's everyone running?
- Come on! - Let's go!
Hurry up! Come on!
This way, come on!
- Let's go, come on! - What's going on?
It's happening! Come on!
Go, go, go, come on! Get up, get up! Let's go!
Run! Run! Let's go!
Look. The poles ended up inverting.
South is the new north.
Where's Lucas?
Did you see him?
Lucas!
Luqui!
Tano! Tano!
- That's the whiskey he was looking for. - Huh. I guess he found it.
Luqui!
What's wrong with those guys?
Can't they see it stopped snowing?
Lucas!
Can't find him anywhere.
Any luck?
No, nothing. Where on earth did that moron go?
I checked the back, too, but…
What the…?!
Elena! Elena!
- Elena! - Juan!
Juan! We're over here! We're here!
- Where's Clara? - She's in there.
Ana's still outside!
- Ana! - Wait here!
- In here, Pecas! - Wait, Pecas! Pecas!
Ana!
Move!
Tano, Ana's with Inga behind the burgundy 504.
They're trying to hide.
- Tano! Move! - Go, go!
Omar!
Go!
Juan, I need you here. They're killing us!
Motherfuckers! Cowards!
Cowards!
Come here!
- Okay. Come on. Help me. - Wait. Don't! Stop!
- Help me get out! - Pecas!
- Ana! Ana! - I'm okay.
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
Are you okay? Really?
Drop your weapon!
- Oh, Elena! - What happened?
Well, I'm okay.
I just… I was hit by shrapnel above the knee, but I'm okay.
We need to clean the wound.
She is still breathing.
Help!
Please!
Help us!
Please help us!
- It's Tony! - Help!
- You sure you're okay? - Yes, honey, go ahead.
Like that. Don't worry.
It's okay.
Don't worry.
It's okay. Stay calm. He'll be okay. It's okay.
He'll be okay.
Don't take it off.
I'll give it back.
We're all friends here. Everything will be okay.
Okay.
- What's your name? - Micky.
It's okay.
Tano! Juan!
It's them. Look!
- Where were you? - They brought me back.
- We've been looking for you. - Are you okay?
They were coming down Buen Ayre Highway and almost ran me over.
How did you get to Buen Ayre Highway?
I… I don't know. I…
I…
Omar!
Look, we need help here. There's a lot of people who are injured.
They came from Campo de Mayo. All these trucks.
They're takin' everyone there.
Bring everyone here. See ya in two minutes.
That's an order! Come on!
Those sons of bitches scared my dog away, dammit.
There. The soldiers picked me up here.
This is pretty far. How did you make it here?
- I don't know. - What do you mean, you don't know?
I was with the… with the kids last night, and I found my favorite whiskey.
I downed it like water, and then I blacked out.
When I woke up, I was lying on the highway,
surrounded by soldiers.
That's the Reconquista River.
It has water!
Can we go to the island, then?
