GOOD FUTURE SUPERMARKET
Ana!
Tano!
- What are you doing now? - We'll try to get to Campo de Mayo.
- Good luck! - Thanks.
Come on, let's go.
I'm staying! My gun.
Thanks for everything!
- Juan! - What happened?
Put your stuff down and follow me.
Dad.
My darling.
Where did you find her?
She found us.
I remembered you play truco on Fridays.
Yeah.
Juan.
It's a miracle.
We're all together.
She found us.
Well…
I'll take her.
That's it.
Tano, what the hell is going on? Is it true what people say?
Who?
- The neighbors mentioned some bugs. - Have you heard?
We need to get the hell out of here.
Trust him.
You can't even imagine what's coming.
Where did he come from?
Poor thing was icy cold.
- Did she say how she managed to get here? - No.
She just said, "Mom! Mom!"
What's this? Did you see this?
- I did. - Touch it.
Don't worry.
We're together now.
Relax.
- Come on. - Yeah.
Help me out. Pick it up, Pablito.
There we go.
Come on. Hold it tight.
Stop.
- Whoa. - No.
Who are these goons?
Is Alfredo here?
Saavedra looked like Kosovo.
From what we heard, it's worse downtown.
How many bugs are we talking about?
Hundreds, less than five kilometers away.
Then we need to leave as soon as possible. Now.
Where to?
Roaming about could be dangerous too.
I don't know. We need a vehicle.
Anybody have one we could use?
An RV.
I'll trade it in.
What do you want for it?
Your house and this garage.
If the story about Campo de Mayo is true, they're armed to the teeth.
Think about it.
Why the hell did we go to the Gendarmerie building?
We have guns, people!
We can fight!
Leave if you want to.
The houses are for those of us who defend them.
Let's trade, Favalli.
Deal? Or were you just bluffing?
Wow, it's nice.
Moby Dick.
Careful.
The keys to the door leading into the garage.
It's rusty because of the lack of use.
Lucas, go help Juan!
Three of the four burners work. One leaks, be careful.
- Good luck. - Help Juan.
We're staying.
Thanks, Benito. Sure you don't wanna come with us?
I would, but I can't. My old man can't leave his hardware store.
- It's his whole life. - Okay. Good luck.
It's nice. Too bad it'll be a short trip.
Need any help?
No, thank you.
Where did this come from?
Clara was wearing it when she got here. Why?
It's mine. It was on my sailboat.
Are you sure?
I don't know. Maybe it's a coincidence.
Inga!
A tortilla for the road?
No! You--
No! Don't be like that. Take some bread for the road.
- It's not a stuffed arepa, but it's bread. - Get in!
What about him? Okay.
A round table, and a doctor
Who talks to you about love
Step into the sun, explode
Step into the sun
Everything okay, Juan?
Step into the sun, you idiots
Want some? They're still warm.
- What's that? - Tortillita santiagueña.
Don't. It's not safe.
You care about me, huh?
No, it's okay.
Here.
- Are they good? I've never had any. - Yeah. It's a pauper's delicacy.
Hurry up, because grease turns sour when it gets cold.
Here.
Son of a bitch!
- What happened? - Goddamn idiot!
Why the rush? What are they running away from?
The bugs, I'm sure. I wouldn't be surprised if they were here.
Keep going, Lucas.
I can't wait to get to the island.
There's water 300 meters away, and the riverbed is all muddy.
Maybe the river is fuller and navigable up north.
We're going to Campo de Mayo.
My house on the island is the best place to hold out.
I'm tired of holding out, Fava!
We'll take Panamericana to Buen Ayre Highway.
And then we'll see. Okay?
You go ahead.
I'll go get something from my boat.
This could be a tsunami.
The water recedes and then comes back as one giant, crushing wave.
How come there's so much traffic?
It was a long weekend.
Right. Because of Christmas.
What's that?
That's the madman who almost crashed into us.
What happened to him?
Was it an accident?
Or the bugs?
Neither one nor the other.
Mom.
Mom!
Honey.
My darling.
We're going to the island.
To your godfather's house.
And the girls?
Who?
Loli. Loli and Tati. I…
I promised them I'd go back.
Don't worry. The girls will be fine.
Are you sure?
- Yes, honey. - Okay.
Did you manage to rest?
Yeah. Luckily, I did.
- Godfather. - How are you, chickadee?
Hi!
How are you?
How are you? How are you feeling?
Okay.
- Are you hungry? - Yes, starving.
And very thirsty too.
Good.
- Is it good? - It's great.
When we get there, cook her something hearty.
Me?
Are you sure? She likes her godfather's cooking.
Godfather, I want you to cook your pomodoro pasta.
Yes, ma'am. Your wish is my command.
We've missed you so much, Clari. Lots.
Your dad and I searched for you nonstop. We looked everywhere.
- But you were on the boat. - What boat?
El Nonino, which else?
No. No, Godfather. No.
I was at Mom's. Before then, I was at Loli's with my friends.
You weren't on the boat earlier?
No. No, Mom. Not at all.
What about the mask you were wearing?
What mask?
- Show it to her. - You were wearing a mask when you arrived.
- That one. Look. - This one.
What? Did I bring it? No…
Don't worry about it. Relax. It's over.
- Yes, don't worry. - Eat.
- It'll come to you eventually. It's okay. - Yes.
All these groups seem to be coexisting in peace.
I wouldn't run the risk.
Let's approach carefully and see.
Juan! The F-100.
What are these guys doing here?
You said "approach carefully."
Do you know them?
Yes. A friendly Jedi.
Come.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Come this way.
Hey, this is still intact.
Yeah, it's like Disney.
There's more than enough food for several weeks.
- Hi. - Hi.
And no bugs yet.
Do you know anything about the resistance?
Almost nothing.
Juanca. Over here.
These are the friends we told you about.
- How are you? - Hi, how are you?
It's all good.
You can eat whatever you want and set up camp,
but keep the guns away from the kids.
- Understood? - Yes.
Okay.
Thank you.
Let's go over there.
Stay on alert and near the guns.
Whoever massacred that family at the highway could be here.
Okay.
Look who's here!
- Jorgito! You're very excited! - Hooray!
I can tell you gave him wine.
Are you okay?
Wine has rejuvenated you. Hey, Inga, come here.
- Good, Clarita. - Incredible.
Santa Claus has arrived.
- Cheers. - Come on, Pecas!
- Wait. - Go.
No, come on! No!
What's up with you?
Meaning?
I'm here.
No, brother.
Something's up. You're somewhere else.
Same thing when Clara arrived.
I saw her and had a horrible feeling.
As if this wasn't real.
I felt I was in a simulation.
And that all of you were conspiring to make me believe it was real, you know?
No.
Never mind. Ignore me. It's in the past.
I'll tell you something.
I owed Ruso a lot of money, you know?
The day this whole thing started and he died,
I felt relieved.
Like I hadn't lost a friend, but a creditor.
And several days later, I felt like shit, because Ruso was my friend.
What the hell does this have to do with what I've told you?
It's the same thing.
Your mind plays tricks on you, and it's best not to believe them.
Here we go!
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 dead family?
Which family?
We saw a shot-up car on the highway.
And I'm positive it wasn't the bugs.
We've heard other stories like that one. People are going crazy.
We shouldn't let our guard down around strangers.
I haven't.
I'm not talking about you.
Who, then?
Who are they?
They were at the "resort" across the street.
The José León Suárez Prison.
We don't know if they're survivors or fugitives.
I'm sure they had something to do with that crime.
What's wrong, Juan?
That guy.
I feel like I know him.
A little bird told me you like skirt steak without skin.
I don't eat meat. I'm a vegetarian.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry. I can get you a meal with no meat, is that okay?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.
- No. - Clara.
- What's wrong?
What did he say? What happened?
- Calm down. - Relax.
Let me.
Breathe.
That's it. Calm down. Help me take her somewhere.
Slowly. Calm down.
Hey, what happened?
- Slowly. She's okay, thank you. - Okay.
Are you okay?
Slowly.
It's okay. Let's go.
I don't understand what happened.
Everything was fine, I just stood there, and she had a fit.
Her eyes went blank.
She couldn't handle your facial paralysis? Bitch.
It wasn't about you. She's not well.
Her parents are very worried.
We've seen each other before. I don't get it.
Listen to me, Micky. You did nothing wrong, okay?
Now go get Jorgito, he wanted to play truco with you.
Get your mind off this.
Okay. Are you coming?
If she messes with my brother again, I'll beat her up. Bitch.
What?
Your pills.
Something's off with her.
She needs to rest somewhere quiet, that's all.
- Where would that be? - The island.
We don't know if we can get there.
- Stop avoiding reality. - What's your plan, then?
They say that at Campo de Mayo,
there's a hospital running.
Elena.
I can't set foot in that place, you know that. I'll die.
Sorry for meddling.
But I think taking Clara to the island in her condition is not a good idea.
You say that based on what?
My boat wasn't at the dock.
Clara took it.
This is from the deck log book.
That's her signature.
You scared me, idiot.
Oh, come on, don't get angry.
Don't pick a fight, and close your eyes. Go on.
Ready? Don't cheat, okay?
Ta-da!
Ready.
Dude! Where did you get this?
Merry Christmas.
- They're eating us alive. - Totally.
Hi, there.
- Hi. - Can I sit?
- Yeah. - Sure.
Yeah.
Hey, want a puff?
Sure.
Kill it.
Goddamn it, fatso! Try harder, or we'll never catch up.
No, don't get pissed off. If you do, you'll lose the game.
What's nice about truco is that you can fight back in the next round.
You clearly never played with someone with zero luck.
Oh, have you met Favalli?
- Yeah. Mario Bros. - Mario Bros!
He's had zero luck for 40 years now.
But that's not important.
Look. The key here is knowing how to bluff.
To do that well, you need a partner who can back you up.
Show us what you're made of, then.
Of course. Gladly.
But first, I'll go get some real liquor, not this.
It's not the same, you know.
Wait, I'll go with you. Can you deal?
Everything's on the house. Do you want something?
- A couple of beers. - One of these.
I like a good beer better.
Whiskey is like tango.
You start to like it when you're old.
Do you like this one?
No, I'm looking for this one. Blue Label.
Here I am.
Somebody has called bingo.
Tony?
Come on! Let's go! Out!
- Go! - Go!
Run!
Go!
- What happened? - Go!
It finally happened!
Get up!
Let's go.
Come on!
Yes!
Look.
The poles have fully inverted.
The south is now the north.
Where's Lucas?
Have you seen him?
Lucas.
Lucas!
Luqui!
Tano!
That's the bottle he was looking for.
He found it, I see.
Luqui!
Are they slow on the uptake?
Don't they see it has stopped snowing?
Lucas!
No, I'm not Lucas.
And?
Nothing. I don't know where this idiot has gone.
I checked out there, but--
What's that?
Elena!
- Elena! - Juan!
Juan!
We're here!
- In here! - Where are they?
In here!
Ana is outside!
- Ana! - Wait here.
Here, Pecas!
No!
- Ana! - Look!
Go!
Yes.
Ana is with Inga, hiding behind the maroon Peugeot 504!
- Go! Tano! - Go!
Omar!
Go!
I need you here! They're killing us!
Motherfuckers! Cowards!
Cowards!
Come here!
- Help me out. - Wait. Stay here, it's dangerous.
- Help me out. - Pecas!
Ana!
I'm okay.
- Are you hurt? - I'm okay, Alfredo!
Drop the gun!
- Elena! - What happened?
It's nothing. I don't know, some shrapnel hit my knee. I'm okay.
We have to clean the wound.
Still breathing.
Help!
Over here!
Help!
Help me, please!
- It's Tony. - Help!
Sure you're okay?
- Yes. - I got her.
Take care.
Don't worry.
Calm down. He's gonna be okay. He's gonna be okay.
Don't take it off.
I'll give it back.
Your friends are here. Everything will be fine.
Yes.
What's your name?
Micky.
Micky. Calm down.
Tano! Juan!
It's them!
- Where were you? - They gave me a ride.
- We were looking for you. - You okay?
They were coming down Buen Ayre Highway and almost ran me over.
How did you end up there?
I don't know.
I…
- Check the cargo area. - Omar!
We need help. Many people are wounded.
They came from Campo de Mayo. They're picking up people from all over.
Gather everyone here. I'll be right back.
Carlitos! The wounded.
Those motherfuckers scared my dog away.
Here! The soldiers picked me up here!
How did you get this far?
- I don't know. - What do you mean?
I was hanging out with these kids, and I found a whiskey bottle.
I gulped it down, and everything went black.
When I woke up, I was on the highway, surrounded by soldiers.
That's the Reconquista River.
It has water!
We can go to the island?
