to stop that line and cross all the sector...

I don't think that would be convenient.

Since the perimetral system was

opened, it became too complex to close.

Driver Rodriguez, Driver Rodriguez,

you are required at the signals cabin

Subway informs you: the

temperature outside in our city

is 38.7 C, humidity at 90%

What's going on with you? I tell

you to move and you refuse to?

But the light changed constantly,

what did you want me to do?

if the 86 is coming at

the cross, we might crash

Lower your voice tone, I'm the CEO

If I say you to move, you must move.

But there's a regulation we must follow

Sir, if the light is red we cannot mo..

Forget about the Regulation! The

only one that knows what has to

be done here is me.

And you must obey me!

But that can't be sir, those

are directives of the company

life of the people is in

danger, it's impossible.

I repeat, the only one that knows

what has to be done here is me.

Oh really?

You drive then, Sir.

Come.

You still think I'm lying,

I guess you already noticed

how bad this problem is.

Lights detect the pass of the trains, where

there are any, in other words, they're failing

There are routes changes

when we don't make one.

And there's a complete

train we can't find.

There are so many tunnels, that we don't

have enough personnel to search for it.

At midnight, some authorities

will come to the Park Station.

To do the same movements in the

place that train was last seen.

And I'm supposed to give them

an explanation of what happened.

Funny thing is that I have no explanation

'cause I don't know what's going on.

...and I'm the CEO.

Listen, I need all the planes

approved by the ministry.

Just in case they ask

something, you see?

How do I explain the

disappearing of a complete train?

I trust you'll come with the planes.

What was your name?

- Daniel Prat.

- Okay, Mr. Prat, I'll be expecting you this evening.

And if you come out with

an idea, please tell me.

Driver Figueroa, Driver Figueroa,

please go to the mantainment office.

- Constructor

- Yes, I'd like to speak with Mr. Deker.

I'm sorry, he's not available.

- Who is it?

- Daniel Prad

Would you like to leave a message?

Tell him to call the ministry

And authorize me to make

copies of the perimetral planes.

No one told me you'd be here.

27, 28, 29, 30...

I've been ordering these

archives for 40 years.

Are you sure they are over here?

Of course, the question is where!

Just about now, they think

of changing of building.

They may have done it on purpose.

Excuse me, which

requirement did you told me?

The last one, the one

about the perimetral

Let's see, let me think.

I think we're doing fine.

There have been other movements,

but inside the building.

Other floors, years

ago there was a flood

that made all these archives

to float for days.

It's in the upper shelf.

Let me do it.

There's nothing in here.

- It can't be!

- There's nothing in here.

- It might be some other place

- Take a good look

- It's empty

- I'll be back

I think you're out of luck

Those took'em

But they can't

- Original planes

- It depends who asks for them.

As always, the person who took'em...

was a project adviser

So, I couldn't say no to him

You understood? I think

I remember the fella.

He was a very quite

man, that sometime before

He used to come and stayed

hours checking those planes

Here he is, Hugo Mistein

Do you have anything to do with him?

We must take on account

that they're analyzing

The aspects of pure theory

Not applicable until the moment

Which means...

- Is this Topology 3 class?

- Yes

The conclusion is that

Or that they're not formally identical

Are the same that apply

For all the ministries

In other sciences branches.

If for example an astronomer presents

An acceptable theory about the universe

For the normal street man

Surely is wrong

But if someone said, for example

That in some regions, time paralyzes

He could have, at least, listened it

You might be right

Sciences and philosophies still

are a bit weir, gentleman.

Thank you for your

attention Class dismissed.

Can I ask you a question?

Are you a student?

No, not anymore. I

graduated quite a while ago

How may I help you?

Well, I'm looking for a professor

that was in charge of this class

At least he was for many years

Doctor Mistein

You don't lose your time How

much time since you last saw hi?

About 5 years...

You must be from the latest generations

he had. Sometime later, he left

- the university

- Why?

He was distracted, lost interest

During classes, he had

his mind in something else.

Do you know how to find him?

Hum... Yes, possibly

I have a phone number and an old address

Where we used to call him

He refused to talk to

us and we never knew why

I don't know what happened to him

The few ones we are

on this... here it is

Appreciate him very much

Well, please excuse me,

it's getting late... Goodbye

Thanks

Downstairs

Do you know where can

I find a telephone?

- Downstairs

- Thanks

Underground

Hello

Hello, may I speak to professor Mistein?

- No

- But, is he there?

- No, he's not

Can you tell me at

what time he'll be back?

- I don't know

- Do you know where he is?

How should I know.

If you want to leave him a

message, I can do that for you.

Yes... Do you have

something to write to?

Yes, who are you?

- I'm Daniel Prad

- Prad?

From the studio of del Plata

It's about a job he did for the subway

Slowly

We need some planes...

You live here?

I wanted to know if

professor Mistein is here.

He lives here, doesn't he?

I called many times before coming, but

It's not easy to reach

communication with this place.

I thought that maybe

the line was damaged

And since I need to

talk with the professor

- I decided to come.

- You called just once.

And I said he wasn't here

He came back

I came 'cause I need

some papers from the job

He has them and I need them

Look in the apartment if

he's there and if he's OK.

And if your not lying.

Since when you don't see him?

If you steal anything... I scream

Wait

April, April? Are you there?

Open the door... Who are you with?

- Over here

- Stairs are dirty

This is disgusting, you didn't

do anything I asked you to, open

open the door, you'll see

You should be alone

Damn girl, I told you I don't want

- Come on!

- April!

April, open up

April

Come, come!

Wait

You know how to go back

to your house from here?

'Cause I have a meeting right now

And people is waiting

They won't like to see you.

My mother wouldn't

like to see you either.

But I let you in anyways.

Come

Excuse me, the CEO?

- Down there, underground 2

- Thanks

- Why are we here?

- We're looking for a ghost train

Sit there

You keep this, stay here and don't move.

Yes? Is here?

Excuse me, I'm looking for the CEO

Is he over here?

He's out of duty,

Who gave you authorization

to be down here?

What are you doing here?
