Our success depends on one thing,
They must believe the end of the world is really happening,
The bad news
is that people have seen the world end so many times in movies,
so this has to be perfect,
The good news
is that today's technology is like no other,
And if there was any moment in history
where we could make a fake better than the real thing,
today is that day,
When will we carry out the plan?
When the geopolitical situation reaches a breaking point,
There are always crises and wars,
There are currently several hot spots in the world,
Israel, Taiwan, Russia,
As soon as one of those conflicts boils over,,,
our simulation will start,
They'll get a call at an ungodly hour to get to the bunker as a precaution,
Hello?
Things will already be tense,
and we'll increase that feeling of uneasiness
with people fleeing the city, carrying big suitcases,
Suitcases, I love it,
Varela is at the intersection,
Attention, Suitcases,,, now,
They'll be talking about the real conflict on TV,
but once they get in the helicopter, our own escalation of warfare will begin,
Airspace restrictions will come into effect at 1:00 p,m,
Civilian flights are prohibited,
I repeat, civilian flights are prohibited,
From that point on, everything they see on the TVs in the bunker
will be controlled by us,
The Russian defense minister describes the attack as an act of war,
And we'll be ready to offer them our own World War III,
- Let's do it, - Everyone ready?
Three, two, one,,,
Vibration,
Activating pistons,
Copy that,
Our bunker will rest on a mechanized platform,
similar to those used to test earthquake safety,
which will shake the building like a cocktail
without compromising the structure,
Tectonic sound effects to level four,
They'll feel the earth vibrating,
And then something much more poetic will happen,
which my brother has designed,
We'll have a rock break through the wall due to tectonic pressure,
A sight they won't forget for the rest of their lives,
Rock, Now!
Did it hit him?
It only sticks out 50 inches, It couldn't have,
He fell from the shock, It wasn't a technical issue,
- Julia! - There he is,
- Guillermo Falcón's vitals, - Yes,
Rapid heartbeat, over 125 bpm,
- He's stabilizing, - Attention,
Open the crack, Now!
Oh, come on!
Seriously?
We're going to set up a circus to make them believe there's a nuclear war?
Please!
Yes, Exactly,
It will feel real to them, though it's merely a mechanical trick,
Are you out of your minds?
Know what scares people the most in an underground catastrophe, Mr, García?
Tell me,
No idea,
The dust,
Attention, Dust,
Dust falling,
And pressured smoke jets from the collapse of tectonic plates,
Tell me, Mr, García, if you had to flee,,,
Dad!
,,,through smoke-filled hallways,
with emergency lights,,,
Proceed to the dome,
,,,people screaming,
alarms blaring, and feeling the Earth cracking beneath your feet,
would you doubt it's real?
I guess not,
I don't think so either,
We'll be pumping in two tons
of dust and smoke through cracks created by a system of friction,
Attention, upper level,
Block the stairs, Now!
We'll take the elevator,
They're going into the elevator, Get ready,
Once they're in the elevator,
we'll release a fake bearing from the rail,
Vibration,
The system will throw sparks, squeak, and shake the elevator car laterally,
Derail, Now!
Friction sound effects, Sparks,
Will they be in danger?
No more than if they were on a roller coaster,
But they'll feel like they're going to crash,
When they're about to crash after a 250-feet free fall,,,
Ready to activate the emergency brake?
Not yet,
- Ziro, - Not yet,
Now!
Emergency brake activated,
And they'll think they got lucky,
But the worst is yet to come,
When they are in the dome like rats fleeing a sinking ship,
I'll make my grand entrance
to show them, on the major international TV networks,
the beginning of the end of the world,
No one will doubt it,,,
Ladies and gentlemen,,,
,,,because no one doubts a reality they perceive with their senses,
But if any skeptics do remain, we have an ace up our sleeve, a movie,
Mr, Nano Parker, how do I know this movie you want to shoot
will have the apocalyptic effect we need?
I've seen your films, and, frankly, I haven't been moved,
Nor has my sister,
I did find them amusing,
Do you know why Titanic or Avatar moves people?
Because they cost 250 million dollars to make,
With half that budget, I could create the ultimate disaster movie,
They'll be left shaking,
You want 125 million dollars for an eight-minute movie?
Twenty would do,
We need to shoot two years in advance
so there's time to add terrifying visual effects,
There's a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion,
You guys need to be freaking out,
Get into it, Enjoy the moment,
They're going to watch my film
inside a fallout shelter 1,000 feet underground,
while the world above collapses in real time,
Don't you think they'll be blown away?
And what exactly is this movie about?
It's about completing a mission,
What mission?
Going out during a nuclear apocalypse to connect a satellite antenna,
And you, Cindy, are going to be one of the leads,
If only my eyes are visible, can we still do hair and makeup?
- Really? - Yeah,
We'll build the lake tower and bridge in a quarry,
Welcome to the end of the world,
Okay, Luca, you head out,
Turn it and go outside,
It feels like being on the moon,
There's a burnt-out car,
Imagine you're recording,
You look, You're shocked, Dead people,
We'll film using real fire and smoke,
Smoke, And action!
More smoke, More!
We'll enhance it later with CGI,
Run like you're on the moon, Don't overdo it, No, Run normally,
But we still have the final twist,
An explorer puts his hand on the rail,
The iron's over 200 degrees, He gets stuck, Suspense,
It can't tear,
Radiation, twice that of Chernobyl,
He moves his arm,
He can't get it off, The glove's stuck like gum,
And you think, "That guy's gonna die under a red sky of radiation,"
Sometimes I surprise myself with how well I shoot a scene,
I guarantee when they see this footage,
they won't want to go up to the surface anymore,
BILLIONAIRES' BUNKER
Breathe, Breathe slowly,
Through your nose,
This, over here, Hold this,
Okay, I'll be right back,
Breathe,
What is it?
Calm down, Look at me, What's your name?
Would you like anything?
No, thanks, Tirso,
Wait, I'll have one with meat,
And a veggie one, please,
Thanks,
Want some, Grandma?
I do,
Now I understand why when I used to ask for a brother
you always said no,
I really appreciate you making light of all this,
Especially given what's happening,
You mean the nuclear explosion?
They bombed Hiroshima, and it's still there,
The clubs are packed,
Overrun by tourists,
- It's the same with Chernobyl, - Max,,,
What?
A reactor with seven tons of uranium-235 exploded,
It's crazy, Mom,
Now people go there to take selfies and create street art,
There's an animal sanctuary with foxes and deer running around,
Bambi lives there,
Life will go on, It always does,
The same will happen with our family,
We will survive,
Yes,
We will survive,
I promise you,
Did you hear what my wife said?
She married me because I just happened to be there,
Frida was under a lot of stress when she said that,
I'd like to be angry, Be furious,
But I'm just scared,
Can you imagine how sad it is to be in here alone?
Flip it on its head,
What Frida sees as despicable might actually be wonderful,
That's what you need to sell her on,
- Excuse me? - What did she say?
She latched onto you, What does everyone want?
Someone to keep us from going over the edge,
How long does infatuation last?
Three months?
After that, everyone ends up where you've been all your life,
We've been together for over 20 years,
And you saved her from her mother,
You were a fucking hero,
You can say that again,
I put up with that woman for 20 Christmas dinners,
And I gave Frida a new life,
Mr, Falcón, I'm here to check on you,
Look at me,
- Do you have a headache? - No,
- Any nausea? - No,
- Dizziness? - Yes, when I get up I get a little dizzy,
It's best if you lie down, then,
We'll have to make sure there's no cranial hypertension
or speech issues,
Of course, Thanks, Doctor,
Excuse me, are the two people who went out all right?
We saw how one of them got his glove stuck on the railing, It was awful,
We saw nothing else,
The glove had just one tiny perforation,
Our colleague is being kept under observation now, but,,,
We believe he wasn't exposed to much radiation,
Don't worry, Really,
I'm in Budapest, Ane,
This was going to be our New Year's Eve,
So tell your father that he's a jerk
to ground you as punishment for failing a class,
He's already got a gifted child, right?
How many distinctions does Asia have? Seven?
That's it, It all balances out,
One daughter excels in academics, and the other excels in enjoying life,
You have to experience this New Year's Eve like you were here,
Even if you're in a five-star hotel, wearing an ugly pearl necklace,
You're such an idiot,
Look,
But, yes, I thought I could leave my body here
if my mind's in Budapest with you,
I miss you,
Besides, now I have my father's dinner with all his friends,
and I'm dreading it,,,
Happy New Year, babe,
I love you,
Hello? Are you all right?
Help, please!
In the bathroom!
Help!
Let her go!
Come on!
Cut the cable, quickly!
- Lift her! - Please!
There!
We got her!
That's it,
Okay,
There's no pulse,
Doctor!
- She hanged herself, She's not breathing! - Move,
She has no pulse, She needs epinephrine,
I have it here, Bring me the defibrillator, Quickly!
Here, help me, Pull it tight!
Come on!
Give it to me!
Okay, let's see,,,
Come on, Here,
- 260 charge, - Now!
Clear, And,,,
No response, Again,
Ready? Let's go, Charge 300!
Hi,
Can you hear me?
Can you breathe?
Hi,
What have you done?
Why did you save me?
This is Minerva,
I'm pleased to inform you we haven't detected further aftershocks,
Therefore, our security team considers it no longer necessary
for you to remain in the dome,
You may return to your family units, Thank you very much,
Minerva,
- Has that woman recovered? - She almost died,
Good thing Asia Falcón acted fast,
Well, we got the situation under control,
She hanged herself from a pipe,
They're in a catastrophic situation, and it will only get worse, Look,
Look,
There are cases of severe anxiety, panic attacks, arrhythmias,
Look! Fifteen people have heart rates above 135 bpm,
Do you understand?
When we were preparing this
and I talked about fear, anguish, and creating real sensations,
what did you think I meant?
We have them where we want them to continue with our plan,
I did not take this job to do this,
No,
This is not a job,
This plan is the biggest thing you've ever done,
So, if you're afraid, pull yourself together and keep going,
Look how they walk,
With the weight of the end of the world on their shoulders,
and still, they keep on going,
Now they'll see undeniable proof of what can happen to them
if they leave the bunker,
Want to see the grand finale?
Come with me,
Guys,
What do you think? Direct exposure to maximum radiation,
We've abraded the dermis and made it look burnt,
Second-degree burns, What do you think?
It needs more moisture, It's too dry, Don't you see?
It has to be oozing,
Yeah, that really grosses people out, Oozing pustules,
Okay,
You're not getting in bed, right?
Yeah, that's what I was going to do,
Rafa, we can't pretend nothing's happened after all I said,
And what was it you said?
That you just latched onto me?
That I saved you from an unhappy life with your deranged mother?
That I was a hero, Right?
Frida, we may have not started out in love, okay?
But who cares? How long does love last? Three weeks? Three months?
We've reached the point in life all happy, stable couples eventually do,
- Is that so bad? - Rafa,
No,
Let me tell you, that's what everyone dreams of,
Not me,
I mean, when I said it out loud, I realized there was no turning back,
What do you want?
No,
A divorce in the bunker?
I've got no choice left,
Rafa, I think it's the best thing for us,
Every breakup is an opportunity--
Don't start with the self-help talk, okay?
I should have realized,
That you needed Reiki, yoga, and meditation
just to get in bed with me,
You bitch,
You have to be truly awful
to fake an entire life and string along a man who loved you,
Because, you know what? Surprise!
I was in love with you, Frida,
You robbed me of a life, pretending to be in love,
That's not true,
Rafa, everyone knows when love is real,
And you've always known I didn't love you much,
Or at all,
You being pathetic enough to accept this marriage is something else,
I thought it was your way of loving me,
Please,
I can assure you it wasn't,
When I fall in love, I go crazy,
Who are we talking about?
- Never mind, - Who?
My yoga instructor,
What are you doing?
I'm leaving,
- Where to? - My mother's,
That's great,
You married me to get away from her, and now you're leaving me to go back,
You spent your teenage years vomiting in that German school!
Now you're going to throw up in your mother's bunker!
A masterpiece of logic!
You see?
I can't love you when you're this pathetic,
I admit to cheating, and you yell at me to come home,
It's over,
No,
Everything's fine,
Go back to your bunker, Good night,
Dad, do you want to talk?
Talk? No, why? No,
Your mother and I had an argument, but it's fine,
Right, I was just asking since it might have been your last,
I can't believe they didn't give us any complimentary snacks here,
No cookies, not even,,,
This! Look!
Look! Coffee and tea!
I haven't eaten since yesterday,
You know? I have a,,,
- Dad, - Yeah?
Dad,
I need something to eat,
Sorry, but the dining room's closed, You need to wait for breakfast,
I didn't eat in the dome, I swear,
And now I just need something to settle my stomach,
I'm afraid that won't be possible,
I'm sorry, Mr, Varela,
Are you telling me I paid millions for this luxury bunker
and you can't make me a damn ham and cheese sandwich?
Strict rationing is in place,
Rationing? I'm experiencing some serious anxiety,
You know how I deal with that? By eating,
At the buffet, I didn't eat because of my mother-in-law,
In the dome, I didn't eat your freaking noodles,
So now, I want my share,
What I'm entitled to,
My portion, Mine!
Because I didn't eat, you see? I didn't eat!
Rafael Varela is out of control, He's having a panic attack,
He's in the dining room!
Tell them to check,,,
Check the security camera footage!
Hey! Rewind and watch,,,
Yako, dining room,
I didn't eat!
Watch it back, damn it!
I didn't eat!
Let's calm down a bit, Mr, Varela,
Hey, you can't do that,
No,
Please,
Sir, drop the food,
Drop the food immediately,
Drop it,
Drop the food!
I'll give you three seconds to let go of my father,
Three,
two,
one,
Are you all right, Mr, Varela?
Do you want anything else, Dad? Take it,
I'm fine,
Max, let the security guy go,
Another one?
Why are there more guards in a millionaires' bunker than in prison?
Do we detain him?
This isn't a prison,
Yako, let him go,
- Calm down, - Let him go,
And this?
Ask me for it tomorrow, when you've calmed down,
Let's go, Dad,
Is it daybreak?
It's a screen,
But yeah, it must be about 6:00 a,m,
Is this the symbiosis you were telling me about?
Because I take care of you, but what exactly do you do for me?
I've been asking myself that all night, you know?
You never appreciated what we had when we were lovers,
The wild infatuation, the secrecy,,,
What we had then was much more powerful,
Thinking about each other all the time,
Discovering songs together,
Our love turned everything upside down,
Sit down, please, The doctor said you should rest,
- I'm not gonna sit, - Sit down!
I'm not going to sit down because what we had was beautiful,
- Please, Or you'll have a stroke, Sit, - What do I care?
You're killing me with your eyes,
When we were lovers, you never did that,
And I used to devour you with my eyes,
I couldn't wait to see you after your singing lessons,
I'd double-park, and if anyone honked,
I'd get out of the car and start a fight,
Because all I wanted to do then was to be there, waiting for you,
When I'd pick you up from your modeling agency,
I'd wait at the hotel across from you, until I saw you from the window,
and we'd just,,, look at each other,
I'd pretended to be sick so I could go to you,
I'd cross the street, my heart racing,
to get to that suite and make love to you,
While they waited for me with the spotlights on
to go on with the photo shoot,
And it all went to hell,
Because you wanted to be my wife,
Officially,
We didn't realize how happy we were when every moment was filled with desire,
No,
You're right,
Let's go back in time, honey,
Okay?
Let's go back,
We can get a divorce,
We can go back to the secrecy,
Ouch! The staples!
This is called a "ruin bar,"
Jewish buildings that were abandoned
when the Nazis arrived during World War II,
In the '80s, they were turned into bars,
and now people come here to have a good time,
Isn't it incredible
that where there was pain there's now so much joy?
To the yin and the yang,
Max!
I love you!
I'm talking about you,
That was epic,
I've gotta say, it's a bit cold in Budapest,
I need to warm up,
Now it's just you and me,
I'm gonna kiss every inch of your face,
But not your lips,
Not just yet,
I'll put my hands
under your sweater
so they get warm,
and you're gonna shiver and get goosebumps,
I'll keep going down,,,
because I know you're already wet,
And we'll fuck right here,
on the grass,
Mrs, Falcón?
Yes?
Is your blood type AB negative?
Yes, I think so, Why?
You need to come with us,
Okay,
Just a minute,
- Where are we going? - Let's go,
Hey!
Where are you taking her?
Hey!
- Where are you taking her? - To the infirmary,
Why?
What's going on?
We're not authorized to say,
- Can she come with me? - I'm afraid that's not possible,
If it's a medical issue, I'm in my fourth year of med school,
What's going on?
Can't you tell us?
I can go in with her,
We have orders for her to go alone,
I'll be waiting here,
What? Are you in trouble?
Hi, Max, No, I'm waiting,
What is it?
Why'd those guys take Mimi?
Some medical thing, They weren't authorized to say,
Why?
What are you doing?
Did you turn on Ane's cell phone?
Yeah, but not for long,
I started watching the videos, but it was too painful,
I'm sorry it upset you,
So, can you give it back to me?
No, No, that won't be possible,
Why?
Because I got rid of the SIM card,
- What? - I burned it,
I got a kitchen torch and burned it,
- You're kidding, right, Asia? - No,
Max, I'm telling you it was too painful,
I didn't wanna have it with me,
What was on there was mine too,
You gave it to me, saying you were giving back her memories,
To me and my dad,
You can't change your mind,
You can't return her memories to us only to ask for them back,
I did it because you were angry,
So you'd never question that what we had was real love,
A love like no other,
Do you know what I think about love, Max?
Love is a bluff, a huge con,
You don't say,
A centuries-old overblown lie
perpetuated by myths, fairy tales, romantic literature, films, and ads,
You're still reading Wikipedia, huh?
I read everything, Romanticism is just a way to mask our own primal instincts,
I suppose you know that,
We're animals, We meet at the park, sniff each other's asses,
and then copulate and have a litter and a herd,
Of course, that's less glamorous than calling it love,
What bars do you go to?
I'm not a bar person, Seriously, Max,
If we accepted it's a question of biology, we'd suffer less,
Oh, yeah? Why?
Because there'd be no heartache,
We need to think that we don't just live with someone to
copulate and breed, but that there's more to it,
A magical encounter,
butterflies in your stomach, blah, blah, blah,
And you know where those expectations leave you?
On the sofa, with mascara running down your face,
and a tub of ice cream,
What happened to you over these past three years?
I've built the rational and scientific foundations to be happy,
And that's it, Finito, End of story,
Sorry for calling you here on such short notice,
but we're in urgent need of your help,
What is it?
All three of you are AB negative, right?
Do you remember the man with the torn glove?
His blood type's AB negative too, and he needs an emergency transfusion,
But why?
You said he wasn't affected by the radiation,
I was wrong,
We must operate on him urgently, and,,, we need a few plasma bags,
We'll start with you,
Thank you for your cooperation,
Let's go,
Take a seat, please,
We'll select the most suggestible guests
and let them see our chief of defense in an incubator,
like a newborn baby,
They will be the perfect marks to spread fear among the guests,
What's wrong? Is he sick?
Your arm, please,
The more information we keep from them, the more anxious they'll feel,
- That will be our modus operandi, - That's the key to suspense in cinema,
What we imagine is more terrifying than reality,
Hitchcock taught us that,
That's not true,
And he's the filmmaker here? He doesn't know shit,
What are you saying?
Hitchcock said the opposite,
You have to show the viewer that the bomb is under the table,
to make them worried that it's about to explode,
No, if you see the bomb--
Can we stop with the film club? Thank you,
We will be cryptic,
The unsettling secrecy will make them fear the worst,
We'll communicate via earpieces with the volume loud enough
that they'll overhear some words,
He's got abdominal swelling,
It'll be terrifying,
Indicates internal bleeding,
If you're not dizzy, you can go,
His heart rate is spiking,
It's at 168 bpm!
We'll induce a coma,
You need to leave,
Quickly,
Mimi, what happened?
They asked us for blood,
I think he's dying,
- He's going to die, - Who? Mimi, who?
The man who went out to fix the antenna, Remember?
He's dying from the radiation,
Do you know what that means?
We're never leaving this place,
- Yes! - We did it,
Give me a kiss, man, You're happy, right?
- Bravo! - Hooray!
- Bravo! - Well done!
Did you see him? Are you sure?
I saw him too,
What happened?
,,,who went outside, The radiation burned him,
He's going to die,
Goosebumps,
I mean, no,,,
Great job, The convulsions,,,
Horrifying, really,
I want you all with the guests,
watching and making sure nothing unexpected happens,
And you, Luca, go take that makeup off,
- Should we celebrate? - Let's go,
- Let's eat, - Sure,
Don't come near me,
What the fuck,,,? Stay away!
Calm down,
It'll be okay, You'll see,
Breathe with me,
Think about how hard we worked to get here,
But before you say anything,,,
No,
I can't,
Sorry, I have to get out of here, Minerva,
It's normal to feel anxious,
A woman almost died under my watch,
And another went into shock from seeing me act the fool,
pretending to operate on a guy in costume,
This is not what I became a doctor for,
We're torturing these people,
Relax, Are you okay?
No,
No, we'll be monitoring them,
They'll adapt to life down here,
You said it yourself, remember?
Human beings adapt to everything,
They're the strongest animal there is,
I have a souvenir for you,
Look,
Bernat and Mark helped me, Say hi!
What do you think?
We're gonna be here forever,
Whatever happens,
I've made up my mind, Minerva,
I'm leaving,
Where? Back to Hospital de La Paz to do appendectomies?
I sure hope so!
Don't worry,
I'll never say anything to anyone about what's happening down here,
Of course you will,
You'll go out there and change your mind, like always,
One day a cop will show up, ask you, and you'll talk,
Because you're fickle,
Today it's the hospital, tomorrow the bunker,
Today you want a normal life, tomorrow a remarkable one,
Today you won't snitch, tomorrow you talk,
You're inconsistent,
But thankfully, I am not, I stay true to the course,
Because I am your strength,
Where are you going?
- Where are you going? - Leave me alone,
Let me go, or I swear, I'll tell the guests the whole truth,
No,
This is the scariest part,
When the roller coaster approaches the big drop,
We have to hold on because the free fall is coming,
Just like I trust you, you need to trust me,
Look at this, Look,
I did this,
An absolute feat of engineering,
A perfect Rubik's Cube,
Nobody's done this before, and nobody will again,
And it all came from my head, The air you breathe, I filtered it,
The water you drink, I purified it,
And you always said yes to me
because you've had an incredible life with me,
And when this is over, your life will be even better,
And you'll have to thank me, over and over, every day of your life,
I've been so in love with you
that I followed you, never stopping to think about your delusions,
because I was happy,
But today, when I saw your eyes light up, proud of your work,
while all those people were grieving their dead relatives and friends,,,
No,
That's when I realized this ends here,
- Don't leave me, - Let go,
Don't leave me,
Julia,
I brought this for your anxiety,
Lorazepam, diazepam, and triazolam,
Choose whichever one you want,
I'm the one who medicates you,
Not the other way around,
No!
