I guess.

This is the first thing|we should have done.

I don't know why|I didn't think of it sooner.

He's impressive.|He knows what he's doing.

If he knew what he was doing,|he'd have thrown you out as well.

At least now we know|we got rid of that freak.

Thanks for coming back.

Those are pages|from a city guide, right?

Yeah. It's the best view|of the city.

But they're printed|on both sides.

How did you manage that?

I took two guides from taxis|on the way here.

These are the quickest routes.

We'll have to make runs.|Julio, this is your apartment?

Yeah.

You'll need us to pick up|your things.

Yeah.

What's this line?

This is the area cut off|by the military.

The whole area under the ship

and these are the barricades|I mentioned.

Okay.

Right, first we'll go

through here to pick up

the generator for when the power|goes out, which it will.

Then we'll look for|a bookstore downtown.

We'll need manuals on|telecommunications, electronics,

stuff like that.|I'm making a list on the laptop.

Who goes with who?|Who stays home?

Nobody.|If we go, it's all three of us.

Why's that?

If Angel wasn't Angel,|what happened to the real Angel?

What if one of us gets left alone

and they switch us?

We stick together, no exceptions!

Damn!

What?

I found a two euro coin!

Are you sure?

- There are some swings over there.|- Yeah.

I wouldn't go near them.

When I went by there|I saw some nasty-looking guys.

Very dangerous.

Seriously, with guns and everything.|They tried to shoot me.

You couldn't pay me|to go over there.

A gas station.

With enough gasoline|we can make a bomb.

- But, Carlos...|- There are other ways.

A bomb is a bit...

I'm not talking about killing anyone.

It's just in case|we need to scare someone.

We're not that far from home.

As long as we don't head that way|we're fine.

The water's been cut off.

- Already?|- Yeah.

We'll have to get more bottles.|Should I wake Carlos up?

No. Are there any more|in the kitchen?

- Yeah, I'll get them.|- No, I'll go.

When you walked by|in the towel earlier...

I saw your ass.

You did that on purpose, right?

What?

No way, you're joking.|How can you think that?

Come on, you know exactly|when your ass is in view.

Especially if there's a guy looking.

Well, you're less careful|if he's already seen it.

I've already seen it?

I thought we agreed|we didn't have sex.

We didn't, but you probably|saw my ass.

Right.

- Are you sure we didn't have sex?|- I don't know.

Do you know how the generator works?

It's still too dark.

Wait until your eyes adjust.|You'll see more.

That's it?|This is all we're gonna see?

What else do you wanna see?

Sh*t, the power's out.

Julia?

What?

Lower your voice, you'll wake him.

Are you still keeping watch?

Yeah.

Go back to bed.

Get some rest.|I'll never get back to sleep anyway.

Remind me when we go out tomorrow

to get a 300-foot extension lead

for the generator.|It's silent...

but it's better off|in the stairwell.

Or upstairs.

We'll find one that's...

Carlos, what...

"Tune UHF... We're still here."

Damn!

Carlos?

I'm only asking you|for one thing.

When I ask you for the paper|don't take half an hour

to bring it.

Why don't you leave it|on the table?

I've told you a thousand times|I don't want any papers on it.

I can't be reading a piece of paper.

This isn't the news, this is war.

Then why keep asking for it?

When we're on the air.

I don't want it|when we're on the air.

We are on the air.

- We were, but you stopped.|- No.

- You stopped.|- No, we're still on...

This bozo claims to speak|for Madrid's refugees?

- You stopped, right?|- No, damn it!

More lights. We're not the only ones|with a generator.

We're not the only ones|watching this.

All those people listening to this guy|clueless to the danger we're all in...

Carlos, there's no need to exaggerate.

I'm being logical, Julio.

If they went to the trouble|of trying to fool us,

three schmucks in an apartment...

won't they try to trick|these people on TV?

I'm going to bed.

Me too, my head's killing me.

By the way,

I'll leave the laptop on|so you can check out my notes.

See you tomorrow.

...imposed by the government|due to this supposed threat.

We're convinced there might be...

Already?

Sorry.

- You know what we can do?|- What?

With the cans and the hose...

Since the heater isn't working,

we can run the hose out the window,

roll it up in a circle

and the sun will heat the water.

That would be nice.

I think I can pull it off.

Great.

- Goodnight.|- Goodnight.

Julio!

What's wrong?

Carlos is gone.

He must have gone out for something.

Isn't that weird? He's the one|who said we shouldn't separate.

- What do you mean?|- I don't know.

Did you bolt the door?

Julio, I'm scared.

Julia, this is insane.

It's not so weird|after what happened to Angel...

We might have exaggerated a bit|about Angel, don't you think?

What do you mean?

That we might have exaggerated a bit.

You lied about his car, didn't you?

No.

"Who'd steal that crate?"|you said.

How could you know it was a crate|if it wasn't parked there?

You mean you knew it was a lie|and you played along?

- No, I just realized.|- You're a fake!

Manipulator!

- Hypocrite!|- Liar!

Hello?|Somebody bolted the door.

Can you open the door?

Hello? Are you guys there?

Julia?

Hey, open up!|The door's bolted!

Carlos, where have you been?

I went to find an aerial.|You don't think...

Carlos, you said not to separate.

I didn't even leave the building.|I didn't...

You're right, I'm sorry.|We should have gone together.

Son of a b*tch!

I'm sorry... I'm sorry...|I can't ask you to let me in,

especially if I'm upset...|I'm sorry!

Carlos...

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Actually, it's what he wanted.

To go out and save the world.

I don't know why he came back.|Not for me, I assure you.

He went to a lot of trouble|to get here.

And look how easy it was|to get rid of him.

Yeah.

You know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Wanna have sex again?

JULIA'S F***ING JULIO

Hey, Carlos!

Look!|Read the tennis balls!

Carlos, listen!|Julia's f***ing Julio!

Julia's f***ing Julio!|Julia's f***ing Julio!

Julia's f***ing Julio!

What the f***?

Julia's f***ing Julio!|Julia's f***ing Julio!

Carlos, look outside!|Check it out!

JULIA'S F***ING JULIO

Look what it says!

Julia's f***ing Julio!|Julia's f***ing Julio!

Has he always been a jerk?

What about you?|Have you always been a homewrecker?

What a bastard!

Where's Carlos?

He left! We're alone!

Where did he go?

Out to find stuff!

He'll be back.

The first time I saw Angel,

when he came to see you,|he didn't ask about Carlos.

Isn't that strange?

You know he can't stand him.

I know, but...

wasn't he surprised|he wasn't with you?

Carlos hadn't been around for days.

Angel knew we were on the rocks.

You two were having problems?

Well, problems...

I didn't tell you?

I thought I told you.

We had a crisis.
