[distant commotion]
[protestors chanting] 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.
[man 1] But we need to take into account
this phase feeds the pump.
Hey, hey, hey! Wait.
-[man 2] A crew is on the way. Paula?
-Oh, thanks, Charly.
-[Zulma] No, it's not.
-[man 1] He'll mess it up. I'm sure.
-And we won't have any water.
-[Elena] Hey. How are you?
The battery should hold it a fair amount.
[woman 1] Can we talk
about the shared expenses?
[man 1] Sorry, but that's not
the topic of tonight's meeting.
-Ramiro, let's carry on.
-It's still not working.
[sighs] 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.
[sighs] Well, Gerardo proposes
we rent a generator for the summer.
[Charly] 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.
-[Paula] Shall we vote?
Just a moment.
I want to say something before we do.
[Charly] 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.
-[Charly] Oh, Brahma!
-[Ramiro] Well…
[Susana] God's sake. Perfect timing.
What's wrong, Gerardito?
Sad your generators plan went to shit?
[Ramiro] Watch out!
-[tires squeal]
-[neighbors scream]
[Gerardo] Shit!
-[Susana] Oh my goodness.
-[man 3] Damn it. What happened?
-[Rubén] Is everyone okay?
-[Ramiro] Yeah. Yeah.
[Rubén] What happened?
-[Charly] Here.
-[Rubén] Okay.
-[groaning]
-[Rubén] Help her, Charly.
-It's the service crew.
-[Susana] Wait, wait.
-[Rubén] You okay? Don't move your arm.
-[woman 2] I'm covered in glass.
[Gerardo] Where's the lady? Where is she?
-Is… is everyone here?
-[Rubén] How's the kid doin'?
-[woman 3] He's okay.
-[Rubén] Pablito?
-And are you okay?
-[rustling]
[glass crunching under feet]
[Rubén] Ramiro!
THE ETERNAU
[heavy, filtered breathing]
[wind whistling]
[loud whistle]
[loud whistle]
[Juan inhales sharply]
[metal grinds and screeches]
[inhales sharply]
[loud snoring]
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?
[Tano] We don't know if the water's safe!
[Ana] But we've been drinking tea
since yesterday.
[Tano] 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.
-[Ana] I can't even make a cup of tea.
-Hey, what's the matter?
[Tano] 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.
[Ingrid] If we had another suit,
I could get stuff.
-Isn't there a grocery store near here?
-[Ana] 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.
[icy wind whipping]
[loud, distant whistle]
-[beckoning whistle]
-[Juan gasps]
[unsettling music rises]
[Juan breathing heavily]
[tense, rhythmic music pulsing]
[music dies down]
-Some "tokeep"?
-[Ingrid] "Tokeep"?
-"Tokeep" your ass from freezing, right?
-[chuckles]
Where did you get that?
-I found it in there, in the kitchen.
-[Ingrid scoffs]
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.
[both laugh]
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.
[sighs] I admire your faith, dude.
My brother was waiting for me at a park.
I guess I'm all alone now.
[Omar] 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.
-[hammer banging]
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.
[Tano] All right, Luqui.
Enough with the wallowing, alright?
Hand me those planks.
And, Lucas,
I want you to learn how to use that.
[Lucas] 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.
[tense music rises]
[hammer continues banging]
[tense music fades slowly]
ARGENTINIAN TRAINS
[loud knocking]
[clamoring]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
HELP
[man 1] There he is! There!
Please! Get us out of here!
Please, please! Get us out of here!
[man 2] We've been stuck here
for six hours!
[man 1] Please help!
[man 2] Stop talking! One at a time,
or he won't understand!
Where's everyone else? Where is everybody?
[Juan] I'm alone.
[woman] Take off your mask!
We can't hear you!
[man 3] We can't hear!
[Juan] 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!
-[Juan] There's nothing I can do!
-Please.
[man 4] Where? Where's everyone else?
Where's everyone else?!
-[clamoring]
-[wind howling]
[man 2] Please!
At least call the police for us!
What's he doing?
-[woman] Please, call someone!
-[man 1] Calm down!
[woman] There has to someone out there!
There has to be!
[indistinct shouting]
[woman] Water! Water!
Please, here! Please, over here! Please!
[passengers clamoring]
-[woman] No, no, no!
-[man 2] What are you doing?
-[woman] Hey!
-[man 3] Hey, where are you going?
-[Juan] I'm going to get help, I promise.
-[passengers clamoring]
Don't leave us!
[echoing] Please, sir! Please!
[oppressive somber music playing]
[passengers pounding on windows]
[tense music fades]
[whistles] See? It's very easy.
You just have to remove the stem here.
That's all. That's our little smelly dude.
-[Lucas] Look at you, Omar.
-Hmm.
I worked in a Peruvian restaurant
in the US for several years.
[Ana] Oh, that's nice.
I love Peruvian food.
-[Lucas] Hmm.
-[Ana] Were you the chef?
[Omar] No, the dishwasher.
But I kept my eyes and ears open,
and I learned.
[Ana] Right.
[Omar] My old man would always tell me,
"Watch and learn."
[rifle cocks]
-[Ana] Is this okay?
-[Omar] That's perfect. It's great.
[Ana] Well, the cooking expert
around here is Alfredo.
[Lucas] Yep. Tano's cooking
is phenomenal. Mm.
[Omar] Yeah? Well,
what's his favorite dish? Y'know, to cook?
-His specialty.
-[Ana] 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.
-[Omar] I'll try it.
-[Lucas] 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.
-[Inga] 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.
But I wanna go out
on the street, not the garage.
Yes, and we heard you.
Alfredo is going out
to look for masks for everyone.
What's that?
-A homemade one.
-Wow. You got the magic touch, huh?
Puttin' this together outta nowhere?
The fire station's 15 blocks from here.
If you lend me your bike,
I'll be back in 30 minutes.
-[door opens]
-Why didn't you mention that mask?
I don't know if it works.
If it doesn't,
then that death would be on my conscience.
-Fine.
-Hey, can I see that?
[Ana] We'll get a backpack ready for you.
This is good, man.
Now, how are we supposed
to be sure that you won't disappear on us
like the other guy did?
It's my house, Omar. Remember?
What's up with you?
Did the Virgin Mary appear out of the blue
and all of a sudden put you
in a good mood?
[Tano] It works.
What does?
[intriguing music playing]
-Why didn't you tell me it was working?
-How do you think I found the door?
I mean…
[Tano] Was this already burnt?
Yesterday it was working fine.
LED.
And this is just a regular filament lamp.
[Lucas] What is it, Tano?
[bright music playing]
[Tano strains]
[song playing, distorted]
["Salgan al sol"
by Billy Bond and La Pesada playing]
['70s rock music ends]
[ominous music rises]
[water running]
[sniffles]
[hammer banging above]
[Charly] Okay.
You gotta hit over there, man. There.
Yeah, a little more to the center.
A little further up. That's it.
That's it. That's where you gotta hit.
Okay.
-[Charly] Careful. Hold on. Wait.
-[man] Give me that.
-[Charly] Okay. Just try it.
-[man] I am trying.
[Charly] Pry it open
from the hole he just made.
-[man] This hole, right here?
-[Charly] Right there. There you go.
-[man grunts]
-[Charly] Pry it open.
[man] Oh, god damn it. Look at this shit!
-[Charly] What?
-[man] Water all over.
[group praying indistinctly above]
[hammer continues banging]
…and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed…
[woman 1] That's mine.
What are you doing?
-[woman 2] Let go! Stop it!
-[woman 1] Get out! That's mine!
-[woman 2] Stop that! Get off!
-[woman 1] Get out of here!
…pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
[eerie music dies down]
[backpack thuds]
Clara?
Clara?
Elena?
[sighs deeply]
[nearby rustling]
-Who are you? Wait!
-[Juan] Who are you?
-What are you doing? Stop!
-Where the hell is my daughter?
I have no idea.
You have no idea? Tell me where she is,
or I swear I'll kill you.
-They sent me here.
-Where is she?
-I don't… I have no clue!
-It's him!
-You came from the outside?
-Where's my daughter?
-Why are you doing that?
-He was stealing.
I wasn't stealing anything.
Elena sent me to grab some supplies.
I swear.
You heard him. Let him go.
Is that snow?
[tense music rises]
[woman] Juan!
Where's Clara?
Wasn't she with you?
-Leave us alone.
-[Juan] Elena.
-Leave us alone.
-Tell us how he got here from the outside.
-Go, leave!
-This is important.
-Get out of here!
-We have to know how he survived.
[knocking on door]
-I texted you last night, Juan.
-[Zulma] Open the door! This is important!
[banging on door]
[Elena] Oh God.
-[water running]
-[pounding on door]
Oscar, go downstairs and keep watch.
We're good up here.
This bitch cost us half of our water tank.
She was cursed.
[sighs] Why?
-For killing the dog, the poor thing.
-[man] Charly!
Someone came from outside.
She's 17 years old.
She was just grabbing
some food, all right?
With some friends, that's all.
You let your daughter go
to a stranger's house? Are you serious?
She told me it's a friend.
What else did I need to know?
Where your daughter's going.
That's what you need to know.
[sighs] I had the address on my phone.
I sent it to you.
-[sighs]
-How could I have imagined all this?
I sent you the location.
-What about her stuff? Did you check?
-Didn't you see it?
What if there's a letter,
an address, anything? A clue?
No. No, I turned her room upside down.
I searched everywhere. There's nothing.
I don't get it.
Your daughter's out there
by herself, lost,
and you're wasting time with these guys?
What do you want me to do?
Lock myself up here?
People are suffering.
They need help. It's my duty.
[breathing shakily] I can't handle this
on my own this time.
Not this time.
[crying softly]
Don't worry.
It's okay.
[sighs]
She's gonna be okay.
She'll be okay.
We should, uh… have faith
in her friend's parents, shouldn't we?
[quietly] Yeah.
What did you say that her name was?
-Luna Stefano.
-Stefano.
Okay. I'll go to her school now
to see if I can find any info.
Their address, you know? Or something.
Okay, I'm coming.
You wouldn't know where to look.
No, no. No, you're not.
Stay in case she comes back.
-Absolutely not. I'm coming with you.
-No, you can't.
I only have one mask.
Trust me. Stay here.
Lock the door, and don't open it
to anyone until I'm back.
Got it?
Can we talk for just a minute?
Heard you can touch the snow.
Are you immune?
It starts to lose its power
after falling from the sky.
[tense music playing]
But how were you able to get here?
[Juan] You have to cover your entire body.
It kills on contact.
Excuse me. We're in a hurry.
-[baby wailing in distance]
-[crowd whispering and murmuring]
[man 1] Hey.
-Juan, I left the keys.
-Don't worry.
[Charly] Hold on a minute, buddy.
You don't happen to have a mask, do you?
Will you please let me through?
Please just show us the mask first.
Darling, we're asking you nicely, please.
Like he said,
we're in a hurry at the moment.
We need to find our daughter.
We'll find help, and we'll come back soon.
You have my word.
The problem is we're almost out of water.
Yeah, almost out of water.
Have some solidarity, will you?
Wait, wait.
I'll show you the mask, then we'll go.
[Charly] Exactly. Show us.
Then you can go. Okay?
-[screams]
-[man 2] What are you doing?
-What are you doing?
-Move aside.
-[chuckles]
-[Gerardo] You crazy? There's kids here!
-Wait, don't! Please!
-[crowd screams]
Before you make it downstairs,
you're dead!
-Let's go. Run.
-Juan.
[Oscar grunts]
-[cries out]
-Get him!
-[Charly] Are you okay?
-[Oscar] She stepped on my balls!
[woman] Close the door! C'mon!
-Where are you going?
-Stay there! Don't move!
-Please don't do this. This is madness.
-Come on!
Come on. Let's go. Go, go, go, go!
[man 3] Get down! Move it!
-Paula!
-No.
-[Elena] I need your help.
-[Paula] No!
-[Elena] Open up.
-[Paula] What happened?
A misunderstanding.
I'll explain when I'm inside.
-I'm sorry.
-Open up, Paula.
-[Gerardo] Motherfucker! Move it!
-[Rubén] God damn it! Son of a bitch!
-[Charly] Come on! Let's go!
-[Rubén] They're here!
[crowd clamoring]
Out of the way!
Out of the way! Out of the way!
You're not going anywhere, motherfucker!
[Oscar] Get him! Shoot!
[crowd screaming]
[man 3] Wait, wait, wait, wait!
-[man 4] Elena!
-[gunfire continues]
[gunfire echoing in distance]
[tense music playing]
[suspenseful, rhythmic music playing]
[Charly] Come on, guys!
No. We can't get out that way.
Move it!
-Let's go. Come on.
-I hear them! Keep going!
God damn it, son of a bitch!
-Come on!
-[Charly] Move it! Get 'em!
[indistinct shouting]
You motherfucker!
[tense music fades]
Go that way. That way!
Shh.
[grunts]
[gasps] Where'd that gun come from?
We need to get you clothes.
We have to get out of here. Now.
Hurry. Find something! Now!
-[Elena gasps] Oh my God!
-[Juan] What?
Hey, wait, wait. Come here.
Wait. Don't… don't look.
-Focus on Clara, okay?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Find something to wear. Go.
-What kind of clothing?
-Anything waterproof.
Find a jacket. Anything. Go, go!
[somber music playing]
Where is Loiacono?
-Who's Loiacono?
-The bald guy.
We're all bald, man. Come on.
For fuck sakes, the big guy.
-Oh.
-Go find him. Find him.
-[sighs]
-[Gerardo] Elena!
[Elena panting]
[Gerardo] They'll kill you, Elena.
It doesn't have to end this way.
[Juan] See that car down there?
The pickup?
-[Gerardo] Can you hear me?
-The one outside?
-You see it?
-[Gerardo] Please.
-Yes.
-You think you can jump?
No.
[Charly] Go, go, go!
[tense music rises]
[man 1] That fucking piece of shit.
[door rattling]
[man 2] Move! Out of the way!
-[screams]
-[Gerardo] Son of a bitch!
[Charly] End of the fucking line
for you two!
[Elena] Juan!
[Charly] First, we're gonna kill you,
then we're gonna get your masks!
[Juan] Sit over there.
All right.
-How am I getting out?
-You have to jump.
[door rattling]
-[Charly] Okay, we're clear. Go!
-[Rubén] Break that shit down.
-Open it.
-[screams]
-Come on.
-[Charly] He's gonna run out of ammo!
-Here.
-[Elena] Okay.
There you go.
Go to the school.
-[Elena] What about you?
-If I don't make it, go to Favalli's.
They'll help you there.
Go and find our daughter, okay?
Find her. Go. Go.
Go find her. Go on.
-How many shots did he fire?
-Three or four.
[Charly] I'm thinking he's out.
Come back here, you little piece of shit!
We'll forgive you if you come out.
-[Oscar] He really fucked up your ear.
-[groans]

With a withered forehead ♪
While the snows of time ♪
Have silvered my temples ♪
To feel ♪
That life is but a breath ♪
And that 20 years are nothing ♪
And that feverish gaze ♪
Wandering through the shadows ♪
Seeks you ♪

[gun cocks]
[Charly] Come out, you son of a bitch!

-Kick it down! Get in there!
-[man 1] Let's go!
[man 2] Move, move, move!
-[man 1] Get in there. Come on.
-[Charly] I said he was out of ammo.
[panting]
Heh. You're going to defend yourself
with that?
[group laughs]
-No!

[Charly] Run!

SAINT GEORGE
[distorted tango music rises]
[distant thrumming]
-[feedback squeals, fades]
-[coughs]
Who are you guys?
[man] You're getting forgetful, old man.
-[Juan sighs]
-I found them on my way to the highway.
[Inga] What kind of firefighters
do you think we are?
Yeah. We'd never leave a kitty
stuck up on a tree branch.
[both chuckle]
Are you okay?
[Tano] I heard gunshots,
and I thought it might be you.
How did you get this thing to work?
The old stuff can work, Juan!
Old stuff works!
