The Eternaut (El Eternauta)

THE ETERNAUT

Ace of spades and a 33 Envido, Ruso.

You're goin' out a winner.

The fever won't go down.

Exactly. That's why I think you should talk to Ana.

So that he stays with them.

-And goes to Tigre? -Yeah.

In this state?

You and I, right now, need to focus all of our energy on one thing.

And that is Clara.

-Yes, I know. -Hmm.

But we brought him here.

How can we burden them with the responsibility

of looking after this kid?

What? Are you giving up now?

-Is that it? -What do you mean?

It's like you don't want to go look for your daughter.

Why wouldn't I want to go out and look for her?

You don't think I see him as a consolation prize, do you?

- Lucas, get ready. - What are we getting now?

-More supplies. -More? They won't fit on the sailboat.

We need another car, Ana.

I promise it's the last trip.

I'll go my own way once he's fully recovered.

To think a little Wi-Fi could fix all our problems.

My God, we're helpless.

They do know the name of the friend's parents, right?

The phone books could be handy.

I have them downstairs.

BUENOS AIRES PHONE BOOK

All in order.

If the owner saw us ransacking his store,

I think he'd die all over again.

Inga! Inga!

-Inga, do you copy? - Hey, can you hear me?

Yes. Loud and clear.

It's like having a cell phone again.

How's everything over there? Any news from the neighbors?

Everything's chill. The only news is that Salvo left again.

What happened?

The girl lives downtown. They got her address.

They found it in the phone book.

Apparently, this old hoarder was partly right after all, huh?

All right, Inga. Keep your eyes peeled.

Thank you for the update.

Sure thing, Fava. I'll keep you posted.

Over and out.

"One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind."

Did I hear that right?

Juan went downtown? Alone?

I'm not gonna let some fucking snowstorm

ruin a 40-year-long friendship.

Thirty-eight.

I'll take you, and then we can all go to the island.

So what's the deal, Tano?

First, you wouldn't leave your house. Now you wanna go to the island?

Don't you think it's too risky?

You've heard of the Van Allen belt, right?

No.

It's a ring of radioactive particles that surround the Earth.

It's suspended by the magnetic force of the poles on Earth.

It's like a shield that protects the Earth

from solar winds and things like that.

But if the poles stop working… if the poles stop working,

the radioactive particles would fall on us.

The snow?

Isn't it amazing?

Van Allen belt fragments, live and in real time.

This is here to stay, Juan.

What's that?

Was this caused by the poles too?

Juan!

What are you doing here?

You shouldn't be wandering around here. It's too dangerous.

- My house is on the other side. - You can't go there, sir.

The downtown area is restricted until further notice.

Please, we've been trying to figure out

what's going on for three days now!

You need to be patient.

Help is on the way.

The Campo de Mayo military base is working on it.

Find a safe place and just wait there.

Campo de Mayo? No way.

Those guys know more than they're letting on.

I'm gonna try to sneak behind them. You head back.

-What? - I'm coming with you.

Now I've got the itch for it.

Look, Tano. They're turning.

Okay, let's go.

There they are, man.

- That them? - They stopped.

I'm gonna have a word with them.

- What are you gonna say? -We're looking for your daughter.

- Don't. Come on. - They'll understand.

- They've seen us! Back up. - Shit!

They're firing, man! Back up!

- - Drive, go!

Make a turn! Come on!

-Turn here, turn! -Over there!

- What the fuck is that? - This is madness! Shit!

- Careful back there! - Careful!

- Holy shit! - What's that over there?

REPAIRS

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on!

Are you okay?

Your eyes were open, but you weren't saying anything for a while.

What are those beasts? Where did they come from?

I can't stop thinking about Ana.

I left her alone in this madness.

It's silent now.

Did you go check?

I didn't dare.

What are you doing, Juan? Juan!

What are you doing?!

Juan!

TIRE SHOP

- - Damn it!

Over here! Make it quick!

Come on!

- Come on. - Oops, a little miscalculation.

-Ah. You killed the bugs with that? - Yeah.

Jorgito.

From the Falcon Squad.

Micky Roberts.

Boy Scouts?

Be Prepared.

New friends!

Welcome.

Come on. Let them sit. Make room.

Either of you have a cigarette?

Sit down. Put your things here.

What happened to the soldiers?

You came with them, didn't you?

Uh, no, uh… We came alone.

Did they say anything about a plan to you?

No, they just mentioned Campo de Mayo.

But they didn't say much.

Any wounds? Broken limbs? Or, uh…

- No, no. - No.

Get comfortable, but mind your weapons. This is a… place of peace.

Please.

What the hell are those two doing here?

Do you happen to know each other?

We do, unfortunately.

They're very dangerous. You shouldn't let them stay here.

That guy's violent.

He was in a shootout with his own neighbors.

-Relax, buddy. -I'm being serious, Rengo.

Don't worry.

I mean it, Rengo. You have to believe me.

-They're bad news. - Young man.

All right, Risotto. You're right. Your house, your rules.

-You stupid fucking piece of-- -No. Don't listen to him.

Please, not again.

Okay?

Those bugs. Do you know where they came from?

From above, with the lights.
