The Eternaut (El Eternauta)

Power now!

No more blackouts!

Only one phase has broken down.

That's why the lights are on, but the elevators don't work.

-I've filed a claim on their website too. -I don't believe a word they say.

Half the city is on fire, yet they're coming to fix this?

Well, Zulma, our hands are tied.

Yes, but let's be careful. That phase is connected to the water pump.

The maintenance crew is on its way, aren't they, Pau?

-Oh no. -That's what's gonna happen.

We'll run out of water, plain and simple. Let's be careful.

Hello, Rubén.

We want to talk about the extraordinary expenses.

No, excuse me, that's not on the agenda. Ramiro, let's move on.

It's out of order.

I can't believe it.

Can you fill me in, please?

Charly.

The meeting started at 20 minutes past. I'm sorry.

I only just found out.

Gerardo suggested renting a generator for the summer.

No need for bizarre ideas.

Let's connect the elevators to the other phases,

and there you go, problem solved.

We've done this before.

Yes, how could we forget?

The electrical surge killed the power for 3 days.

-Exactly. -Well…

-Shall we vote? -No, just a moment.

I want to say something.

Before speaking, take a trash bag,

and pick up your Lassie-wannabe's shit.

We have to dodge his turds.

-The Lassie-wannabe, as you call him… -Yeah.

…is Brahma, and he's better-behaved than you.

Oh, Brahma.

Holy shit!

What's wrong, Gerardito? Your generator deal went to shit?

Watch out!

What the hell?

Fuck! What happened?

Holy shit.

-Is everyone okay? -Yeah.

-Yes. -What the hell happened?

Let's see.

Help her, Charly.

-The maintenance crew. -I don't get it.

-Are you okay? -Yes, just covered in glass.

Don't move your arm.

-And the old lady? -Where is she?

-Let's see. Is everyone here? -How's that other guy?

And the dog?

And you, Blondie? Are you okay?

Ramiro!

THE ETERNAUT

Did you sleep at all?

What are you doing?

-Making some tea. -No. You can't.

-What are you doing? Why not? -You can't.

-We don't know if the water is okay. -We've been drinking tea since yesterday.

Why didn't you tell me or ask me?

We could be poisoning ourselves.

-Keep track of how much you drink! -I can't even make tea now.

Hey. What's going on?

We don't know if the water's contaminated.

We'll ration everything. We don't know how long this will last.

Tano's right. Did you check how many water bottles we have?

-Is this all? -Plus one in the fridge and four sodas.

Okay.

When Juan comes back, we'll go get supplies.

If we had another suit, I could go get some.

Is there a grocery store nearby?

A grocery store?

Do you think there's anything open?

It's like a loony bin in here. Don't you see she wants to help?

Watch how you speak to my wife.

Or I'll kick you out in a second.

-Sorry, Inga. -It's okay, I understand.

Why don't you trust us?

When Juan comes back, we'll get more masks, and you'll leave.

How can you be sure he'll return?

He gave us his word. He'll come back.

If there's anyone equipped for this, it's him.

Butt warmer?

What?

So you don't freeze your ass off, mate.

Where did you get that?

I found it somewhere in the kitchen.

Hey. Thank you.

It's the least I can do. We're in the same club.

What club?

The Fish Out of Water Club.

Really. Thank you for sticking up for me.

Aren't you Argentine, though?

I'm an outsider too. I've been living in the US for 20 years.

My two kids are still there.

And what are you gonna do?

Anything I can to go back.

I envy your faith, you know?

My brother was waiting for me at a park.

Now I'm all alone.

You're not alone.

Thirty years taking shit, stoically, from those sons of bitches at the bank,

just to have life turn to dust in a second.

Pablo Murantial.

That psycho promised me I'd get promoted by the end of the year.

Well, maybe you'll get it, Lucas.

In another life, Tano. Not in this one.

Come on, Luqui, stop crying over spilled milk.

Give me those boards. And, Lucas.

You should learn to use that.

Do you think it's necessary?

Did you hear the silence outside?

This house is like a ship in open sea.

If those two rebel, we're doomed.

ARGENTINE TRAINS

SAY 'YES' TO ENJOYING THE RIDE.

SAY 'NO' TO VIRUSES AND BACTERIA

Hey!

HELP

There he is!

Come, please! Let us out of here!

We're gonna die!

We've been waiting for six hours!

I'm a firefighter, I can help you!

Let's speak one at a time, or he won't understand us!

Where's everyone else?

I'm alone.

-Take off your mask! We can't hear you! -Wait. What did you say?

I can't take it off!

I'm alone!

You understand that we'll freeze to death?

-Please! -We've been here for six hours, damn it!

-There's nothing I can do! -Please!

Where is everyone else?

-Where is everyone else? -Help!

Please, at least call the police!

What's he doing?

Please, call someone! You can't be the only one out there!

-We're hungry! -You can't!

Come on! Move! What are you doing?

-Water! Water, please! -Here!

-Hey, stop! -It's for everyone!

-Share it with everyone else! -Stop!

-What are you doing? -Hey!

Where are you going?

To get help. I promise.

-No! Don't leave! Come here! -No!

Don't leave us here!

Please. Stop.

See? And then you take the stem out.

That's it. This is the bad boy.

Look at you, Omar.

In the US, I worked for several years at a Peruvian restaurant.

That's nice! I love Peruvian food.

Were you the chef?

No, the dishwasher.

But I paid attention, so I learned.

Right.

Yeah. My old man always said, "Watch and learn."

-Is this okay? -Perfect. Very good.

The kitchen expert here is Alfredo.

Yeah, Tano's cooking is great.

Is it? What's his favorite dish?

Well, he's superb at cooking pasta and making sauces.

You know how to handle weapons, huh?

I was in the military back home. That's all.

-It's flour plus water-- -Tano!

Come here, Tano! Come look.

It's fading out.

Look.

It was a matter of time.

No power, no pressure.

Good thing we don't need it for the tuna ceviche.

No, but we'll freeze our asses off.

-I'm done. -Wait. Where are you going?

This, plus a car cover, and I'm out of here.

-No. -Are you suicidal?

So now you care about me?

-You can't leave like that. Tell her. -Omar, move.

She can handle herself better than we could.

-Let go of me! -Wait, Inga!

Honey, enough with the paranoia. We're all in the same boat.

I don't like how he looks at me. I'm out.

What the hell? Are we prisoners? Open the fucking door right now, damn it.

Stop.

I'll go out.

-I mean out out, not to the garage, idiot. -We heard you.

Alfredo will go get masks for everyone.

What's that?

It's handmade.

Look at that. Magic hands over here made this on his own.

The police station is 15 blocks away.

With your bike, I can be back in half an hour.

You had that and didn't tell me?

I don't know if it works.

If it doesn't, your death is on me.

Okay.

Here, can I see it?

We'll pack you a backpack.
