The Eternaut (El Eternauta)

.

It's hard to decide, isn't it?

Too many options.

Yeah, I'm looking for a wetsuit right now because one of my kids decided

he's crazy about water sports.

-Go figure. - Oh wow.

-That's what teenagers are like, right? -Mm-hmm.

They try everything.

-As long as they're happy… -Mm.

I'm still here, in some corner of my mind, you know?

Don't stop looking for me.

Dad! Dad!

- Juan! -

Again?

-You passed out. Like that. You scared us! -Give me that.

-Here. -Are you okay?

Oh, look at the flowers!

Hold on. Be right back.

Fire, soldiers! Fire!

-Keep shooting! Don't stop! -

Aim for the neck! Soldiers, come on

Come on! Aim for the neck!

- Good job! - That's the weak point!

Come on! They're coming closer! Come on!

So it's true. You joined the military again, huh?

Fire! Fire!

- Clara! - Go, go, go! Let's go!

You gotta listen to me, Juan. Don't be stupid. Talk to Ana.

Ana can't help me, all right?

Okay, then. Let's find someone at the hospital.

This can't keep happening.

The only thing I need is to get out of here.

- Let's go! Let's go! -Alfredo Favalli!

- That's it! -Do I know you?

I need you to come with me right now, please.

Aim for the neck! The neck!

Fire! Fire, soldiers!

Over here. Come on.

Fire! They're getting closer!

Aim. Fire!

Tano.

There's water.

We're recruiting volunteers.

This is not just about survival.

It's about getting our homes back.

I'll take these to Mama.

Please follow the instructions as you exit the vehicles.

Register at the information point next to the medical tent

to receive medical assistance and supplies.

Stay calm and proceed in an orderly manner.

You like this one?

You like adventures, right? I can find something else.

Be right back. Start reading.

-Sure. -Is that okay?

-Look. -Wow, that's amazing. They bloomed.

I can't believe it.

My mom?

-She's taking care of an emergency. - Hmm.

We should put them in water, right?

Water's a bit scarce, but let me find a place for them, all right?

-Sure. Thanks, Auntie. -Okay. Sure thing.

Please follow the instructions as you exit the vehicles.

Stay calm and proceed in an orderly manner.

You are safe here.

Register at the information point…

Thanks. Any progress at all?

No.

Unfortunately, there's not much we can do. Nothing is working.

- Mom! -I need help.

- Yeah, sure. -These are for you.

Thanks, honey, but I'd rather you weren't here, okay?

Okay, no problem.

-Let me keep these for her. -Okay, thanks.

Sure.

-Can you get me a nurse, please? -Sure.

The marks indicate the proximity of bugs.

Right this way, Favalli.

Right here.

A little bird told us that you're an electrical engineer.

Can you fix this radio?

This is a relic.

Where did you get it?

Favalli, did you do your military service?

No, I didn't.

You weren't drafted?

-Medically unfit for duty. - Unfit, huh?

What would you say if I told you

that the time has come to show your commitment to your homeland?

- Hey, Dad? -Huh?

- You okay? -Yeah.

You're still getting those weird feelings, hmm?

This place doesn't help, does it?

-No, it's not easy. - Hmm.

Dad.

Why can't I learn to shoot like the others?

I never said you couldn't.

-'Kay. -What I will say. Look at me.

Is that you're coming out of a crisis. Hmm?

You're not ready yet. You need time and some rest. That's all.

Hmm.

And are you not in a crisis?

- -You know…

I mean, from what I can tell, it seems like you're still not yourself, and, uh…

-It's not like you're resting. Come on. -That's completely different.

-It's not different, Dad. - It is.

No, because I got here because I can fend for myself.

I'm not a kid.

I know that, honey. Really.

Well…

What, you're some kinda war hero now?

-Think about it. - What got into you?

Leave me alone. I'm not. This is insane!

-Hold that thought. - Sure.

Like I'm the only person who knows about radios.

Well, you're the only one here, at least.

-I couldn't pretend I didn't know. -Sorry, what's the matter?

-Ask the sergeant here. -What is it?

The military's planning on sending a message to the survivors,

but they didn't have an engineer, so I told them about Tano.

Yeah, and a tiny detail. It has to be from downtown.

And how do they plan on getting past the wall? I don't get it.

I guess they're gonna hit it with a train.

What?

It's a suicide mission, and they want me to go do it.

No, suicide's when you don't have a plan.

This is well thought out. We have great chances.

How do you know that?

Listen to me. We send the message and get back.

Oh, so you're going with them?

Of course. I'm not sending him alone to the front line.

He's nuts. Nuts, Juan. Totally nuts.

-Listen. -He wants to kill me.

We could be saving a bunch of people with this message.

Think about it.

No. I've been to that hell once, and I'm not going back.

After all we've been through,

you still don't get that this isn't just about saving yourself?

I'm sorry I'm not as enlightened as you. I'm sorry.

You heard what they said, didn't you?

If we don't act fast, we're all in danger.

And I'm not just talkin' about the bugs.

What's up with that guy?

Who knows? He's acting strange.

-Look, the dynamic duo. -Ah.

Oh, we have a shift in the kitchen. Let's go.

Oh, that's right. We'll catch you later.

So? What's the word?

The word about what?

About the downtown trip. The plan they're coming up with.

We wanna be a part of it.

I don't know. Ask Lucas. He seems to be in the know.

I can't stop thinking about her.

-Who? - The woman from the mall.

I don't get how she ended up like that. She had three kids.

There's gonna be crazy people everywhere.

That's why we probably shouldn't stray from the pack.

Please follow the instructions as you exit the vehicles.

Register at the information point next to the medical tent

to receive medical assistance and supplies.

Stay calm and proceed in an orderly manner.

You are safe here.

Wait, is that Roberto?

That's Roberto.

Roberto!

Roberto!

Roberto!

Roberto…

Roberto, it's me, Favalli.

House for house, remember?

Where's Benito? And the others?

They wrecked everything. There's… there's… there's no one left.

No one.

They can't force you to go.

They're not forcing me. They're asking for help.

Then just say you can't.

It's not that easy, Ana.

-How can we stay here after that? -We don't stay.
