We have to stop this.

If you know any of the people|mentioned,

take the necessary measures.

This is off, right?

Okay, then.

- Do you smoke?|- No.

What about you guys?

Don't worry, he'll understand.

I'll get...

It's funny how your colleagues|gave you up so quickly.

They practically thanked me.

And how quick you were to confess.|Don't think I'm not aware of it.

I'll feel better|when my friends get here.

If you're holding anything back,|we'll get it out of you.

She's as sharp as they get.

Did I tell you she spotted|one of your kind right away?

The day the ships came,|she didn't even leave her apartment.

Only to help some stranger|in the street. How about that?

She's the person I admire most.

What sucks is I'm telling you this|instead of her.

I don't think I've ever told her.

It's the first thing I'll tell her|in the morning.

Julia wants to talk to you.|We both do.

What?

We're going home.

You can go back to your apartment.

What do you want to tell me?

We owe you an apology.

Out of nowhere?|What happened?

What happened?

What happened?

What happened?

Don't tell me.|You screwed things up good?

Did Carlos catch you two humping?

This is going to be good.

That's it, right?

Is that it? Is that it?

Is that it?

You're going the wrong way...

We're going somewhere|you won't bother us.

But didn't you say Julia...

I'll tell Julia I came here,|you got away,

I looked everywhere|and couldn't find you. Period.

What about Carlos?

Carlos, Carlos, Carlos!

F*** Carlos!

Carlos has nothing to do with this.

I'm f***ing in charge here|and I've had enough of you.

Sh*t.

The military has fenced off|the area right under the ship.

Apparently people have seen|some weird stuff out there.

I don't mean to scare you, but...

maybe they're already doing something,|but in a way we don't realize.

Maybe they can fit in among us|without us realizing.

What was I saying?

I was saying something.

Angel.

I'm sorry.|Please, forgive me.

What?

I didn't know...

- I didn't know...|- You didn't know what?

Please, let me go.|I'm begging you.

You'll never see me again.|I'll leave Madrid.

I've got a house in Cantabria.|I'll disappear.

Please, let me out of the car.

I won't tell anybody that you're a...

that you're a...

Well, you know.

- You're untied.|- What?

I didn't realize.

Here.

Anyway...

- You're leaving, right?|- Yeah.

You won't hurt me, right?

No.

Actually I'm thankful.

Why is that?

Because I've tried to get out|of this situation before and...

it's really tough.

What is?

Not having the balls to leave|when you know for sure

nobody wants you.

Right...

Here, take this.

I don't want it.

That means...

everything you've done...|you did it all for her?

Yeah.

Like you.

Yeah, but there's no comparison...

Hi, it's me.

Sorry, I set this up|because I didn't want to wake you.

I understand you wanting|to come clean about everything

and tell everybody, okay?

But I don't know...

I was thinking...

and I came up with one more lie.

Freeze!

Hi.

What were you doing in there?

I...

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry about?

- Where's Julia?|- She's fine, at her place.

But...

Carlos.

I came to apologize.

Apologize?

For actually being a...

You know.

I promise you I meant well.

I was gonna leave, take my...

machine and leave.

You wouldn't let me, remember?

But after that I thought,

"You'll never be this close again."

You know how boring|my life is up there?

Wait, wait, wait!

That thing over there is yours?

Yeah.

I saw it.

It drove right past. I described it|and this looks a lot like it.

That weird car Julia saw,|the one you drew...

Yeah.

Maybe he came in it|and he's got it parked somewhere.

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

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

You had it parked by the swings.

- Son of a b*tch!|- Carlos!

What I'm most sorry about|is you leaving.

Actually, we got rid of you.

It was me, Julia was against it.

I bolted the door and convinced her|not to open it.

But why?

Your notes, Carlos.

Your books, all that information.

I was dying to get my hands on it|without raising suspicion.

I was sick and tired of pretending.

- That's why you did it?|- I swear.

- That's why you kept it.|- That's right.

And that's why you didn't care|if I demolished your building.

- You gave me a random address.|- Exactly.

I only wanted to learn about you.

When I go back, they probably|won't even ask what I did.

They might not even know I came down.|Almost nobody does.

No?

Well, maybe to take a stroll,

like I was doing when I blacked out.|But hardly anyone.

Do the ones on the ship know|what I've been saying on TV?

If the guy on TV were one of us

they would have rescued him.|They don't give a sh*t.

Damn.

What I did to that poor guy...

I've got him there.

Why did you leave the apartment?

Julia realized you were one of them,|didn't she?

Actually she never believed|you were one of us.

Is she by herself right now?

- Then there's Angel...|- I don't wanna hear about that jerk.

Here, let me. I'll handle it.

- This is the key?|- Yeah.

He's in a small room by the set.

I'll clear things up for him.

Why are you here?

Yeah, with the ships and all that.

There's no reason.

What?

You came for the hell of it?

We extraterrestrials are like that.

If my plan works,

Carlos will be back anytime.

So erase this tape right away.

And that's all.

Actually, it's not.

There's something|I want to tell you.

I came close to saying it

many times but I thought|it might sound too...

forced,

too untimely,

too fake.

I'm not saying it won't sound fake now,|but I have to say it.

I love you.

How did you tape it?

What do you mean?

In a single shot or did you edit it?

A single shot.|I turned on the camera and said it.

You didn't write it down first?

It just came out?

Yeah.

It's not so hard, is it?

If I don't have it on paper|in front of me...

I butcher it every time.
