The Eternaut (El Eternauta)

No more power cuts! No more power cuts!

No more power cuts!

No more power cuts!

No more power cuts!

No more power cuts! No more power cuts!

The issue is just one of the electrical phases.

That's why the lights work but not the elevator.

It has happened before.

I also recently filed a complaint through their website.

I don't buy a word they say. Half the city's on fire.

You think they'll come here to fix an electrical phase?

-Well, Zulma, we have no choice. -Oh, come on.

But we need to take into account this phase feeds the pump.

Hey, hey, hey! Wait.

- A crew is on the way. Paula? -Oh, thanks, Charly.

- No, it's not. - He'll mess it up. I'm sure.

-And we won't have any water. - Hey. How are you?

The battery should hold it a fair amount.

Can we talk about the shared expenses?

Sorry, but that's not the topic of tonight's meeting.

-Ramiro, let's carry on. -It's still not working.

I can't believe it.

Uh, could you bring me up to speed, please?

Charly, seriously, you're over 20 minutes late.

They didn't tell me in time.

Well, Gerardo proposes we rent a generator for the summer.

Oh, come on. Let's not get carried away.

We just have to connect the elevators to the other phases.

That's the easiest way to solve the problem.

It's very simple. We've done it before.

-Yeah, how can we forget? -Yeah.

It blew up a couple of days later. We had no power for three days.

-I remember that. - Shall we vote?

Just a moment. I want to say something before we do.

Susana, before you say another word, why don't you grab a bag

and start picking up your gremlin's shit, all right?

We're all sick of having to dodge his turds all the time.

My "gremlin," as you so kindly said, is actually called Brahma,

and he has more manners than you.

- Oh, Brahma! - Well…

God's sake. Perfect timing.

What's wrong, Gerardito? Sad your generators plan went to shit?

Watch out!

- -

Shit!

- Oh my goodness. - Damn it. What happened?

- Is everyone okay? - Yeah. Yeah.

What happened?

- Here. - Okay.

- - Help her, Charly.

-It's the service crew. - Wait, wait.

- You okay? Don't move your arm. - I'm covered in glass.

Where's the lady? Where is she?

-Is… is everyone here? - How's the kid doin'?

- He's okay. - Pablito?

-And are you okay? -

Ramiro!

THE ETERNAUT

Did you sleep at all?

What are you doing?!

-I'm making tea. -No, no, no, no.

-Don't do that. Not with that. You can't. -What are you doing? Why not?

We don't know if the water's safe!

But we've been drinking tea since yesterday.

What? Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you ask me?

We… we could be poisoning ourselves.

We gotta be careful with what we eat and drink.

- I can't even make a cup of tea. -Hey, what's the matter?

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

We gotta start rationing everything. We don't know how long this will last.

Tano is right.

Did you already check how many bottles we have?

Is this all you have?

No, there's a couple in the fridge and a few glasses.

Okay, well…

Once Juan's back, we'll have to go look for supplies.

If we had another suit, I could get stuff.

-Isn't there a grocery store near here? - A store? Really?

You think any stores are open now?

Hey. Feels like a madhouse in here, dude. Can't you see she just wants to help?

Watch your tone with my wife, okay? I can kick you outta here in a second.

-I'm sorry, Inga. -It's fine. I get it.

Why don't you just trust us?

As soon as Juan's back, we'll get masks for everyone

and you can leave.

How come you're so sure he's coming back?

He's a man of his word. He'll come back.

I couldn't think of anyone better to be out there.

- -

-Some "tokeep"? - "Tokeep"?

-"Tokeep" your ass from freezing, right? -

Where did you get that?

-I found it in there, in the kitchen. -

Let's see. We got seven cans of beans and some…

Oh, and thanks.

It's the least I can do since we're both on the same team.

What team?

Toads from another pond.

Seriously, dude, thanks for sticking up for me.

-So you're not Argentinian, then? -Well, I'm kinda like a visitor here.

I've been living in the States for 20 years.

-My two kids are still there. -What's your plan now?

Try and get back however I can.

I admire your faith, dude.

My brother was waiting for me at a park.

I guess I'm all alone now.

You're not alone.

Thirty years working at the bank, putting up with those sons of bitches,

and everything comes to an end in a second.

-Pablo Murantial. -

That psychopath promised me a promotion by the end of the year.

Well… well, maybe you'll still get it.

Mm. Maybe in another life, Tano. Not in this one.

All right, Luqui. Enough with the wallowing, alright?

Hand me those planks.

And, Lucas, I want you to learn how to use that.

Uh…

You really think I have to?

You hear how quiet it is out there?

Right now, this house is like a ship at high seas.

If those two try to rebel, we're doomed.

ARGENTINIAN TRAINS

Hey! Hey! Hey!

HELP

There he is! There! Please! Get us out of here!

Please, please! Get us out of here!

We've been stuck here for six hours!

Please help!

Stop talking! One at a time, or he won't understand!

Where's everyone else? Where is everybody?

I'm alone.

Take off your mask! We can't hear you!

We can't hear!

I can't take it off.

I'm alone!

Do you realize we're gonna freeze to death in here?

-Please help us! -We've been here for six hours, dude!

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

Where? Where's everyone else? Where's everyone else?!

- -

Please! At least call the police for us!

What's he doing?

- Please, call someone! - Calm down!

There has to someone out there! There has to be!

Water! Water!

Please, here! Please, over here! Please!

- No, no, no! - What are you doing?

- Hey! - Hey, where are you going?

- I'm going to get help, I promise. -

Don't leave us!

Please, sir! Please!

See? It's very easy. You just have to remove the stem here.

That's all. That's our little smelly dude.

- Look at you, Omar. -Hmm.

I worked in a Peruvian restaurant in the US for several years.

Oh, that's nice. I love Peruvian food.

- Hmm. - Were you the chef?

No, the dishwasher.

But I kept my eyes and ears open, and I learned.

Right.

My old man would always tell me, "Watch and learn."

- Is this okay? - That's perfect. It's great.

Well, the cooking expert around here is Alfredo.

Yep. Tano's cooking is phenomenal. Mm.

Yeah? Well, what's his favorite dish? Y'know, to cook?

-His specialty. - Um, I think…

I think… mm… parrilla.

-The way he seasons the meats. Amazing. -You can handle a weapon, I see.

I was in the military in my country. That's all.

- I'll try it. - Tano!

Hey, Tano. Come here for a minute.

It's dying down. Look, look.

It was just a matter of time.

Without electricity, there's no pressure.

At least the tuna ceviche doesn't require fire.

Well, now this place is really gonna be freezing.

-That's it. I had enough. -Where are you going, Inga?

I'm getting my helmet and a car cover, and I'm outta here.

-Don't. -Are you trying to kill yourself?

-What do you care? You wanna be my friend? -You can't leave. Tell her.

- Omar, move. -She'll manage better than any of us.

-Just get off me, all right? -Wait! Cut it out.

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

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

What the fuck? Are we prisoners now? Open the fucking door right now!

Wait. I'm going out.
