Original subtitles

Previously on The Boat...

You are joining a top security program, Ms Wilson.

More than 13 countries participate in the Alexandria project.

You'll have to set up in Geneva.

The Alexandria project is a survival project.

A plan B to be implemented in case the particle accelerator fails.

Seven crews would survive the storm

by taking advantage of peaks with low tectonic pressure.

Captain...

if anybody finds out what I'm telling you right now,

we'll be dead.

How the hell...

is that building still standing?

Good morning, people.

Welcome to YouHao, the last hotel in the world.

Julia...

will you marry me?

We've all got the same letter. Five unique cases.

Does it matter how we got here?

We should be glad to be alive on this ship.

It must have been a scientist.

...the scientist who designed the first survival protocol.

Somebody who realized the accelerator could fail.

That genius has a name. Dr. Schneider.

Forged IDs, right?

Salome, promise me that even if I disappear,

you won't be my sister anymore.

Ever again.

Where were you?

What? Let go of me!

Are you Julia Wilson?

-Yes. -Good.

Could you please tell my grandson that I'm not going to die?

-To hesitate means no? -Always.

Very well.

Done.

It was in Ainhoa's photo book.

It's a shame you didn't see it, because I'm sure you'd have destroyed it.

What do you want for the picture?

Have you noticed the box 33, the one in the cargo hold?

Take it out of there.

Secretly. And leave it on the Russian ship.

There's no room for so many people at the Polar Star.

Or food.

We don't even know where we'll find land.

You were about to tell them.

-Nobody move! -Freeze!

Everybody to the floor! Now!

Come on!

Didn't I tell you?

In a world of water, this ship...

is quite tempting.

Let's see...

Are you here to help? Huh?

Then you'll have to wait.

Before going upstairs there's somebody who has to arrive in this world.

Now we're going into fucking labor!

Ali!

Insha’Allah!

Life used to be simple and predictable.

Traffic congestion in the morning,

picking up my grandson at 6:00 p.m. after judo class...

eating some churritos at Mariano's bar...

and sitting peacefully to listen to champions league games

on a portable radio.

There isn't traffic congestion anymore

or churritos...

I'm sorry, sir.

Or champions league.

These days we get up early to catch some fish from a window at floor 101.

I teach math to my grandson in the afternoon...

and we don't use money to buy things anymore.

Now we exchange things.

It's like world turned upside down.

But when you're 80 years old,

you know that what really matters never changes.

I'm Valeria. And you?

What's your name?

It doesn't matter if kids study math on a computer

or on a wall.

What really matters...

is to share your life with somebody

even if it's at the end of the world.

A little bit higher, please.

Higher... It's stuck.

Put me down!

We can't get out that way.

What's wrong?

It isn't stuck.

It's the pressure of the water.

We are totally under water.

Dad?

-Did you hear that? -Yes.

-What's that? -I think it's Ainhoa!

Ainhoa!

Dad, I'll get you out of there, OK?

How?

I'll reach them down with the other elevator.

I'll drill the wall of both elevators

and I'll send them air with an oxygen tube.

Otherwise, they'll die before I can do anything.

If you're going to commit suicide, take a bottle of pills

inside a bathtub, it's easier.

Ulises?

Ulises, can you hear me?

My dad and Julia are drowning.

I need your help!

Ulises, do you hear me?

Is there anybody at the Polar Star?

Listen, Ainhoa.

Even if you reach them and drill the wall,

what will you do if your elevator floods too?

I don't know!

-Inside a 200-feet cube? -I said I don't know!

It's my dad and Julia!

I won't sit and do nothing while they are drowning.

Will you help me or not?

Yes, of course. I'll help you, but...

I don't think your father got trapped there by chance.

This elevator was off.

Somebody tampered with it.

Your ship...

is the only way out of this building.

People could kill to get on board.

What are you talking about?

A captainless ship is easier to hijack.

You are good at playing the piano, but you're no great diver,

so you won't be able to drill the elevator's steel sheets.

And they know it!

Are you telling me to leave my dad down there?

-No. I'm just-- -How do you know...

that I play the piano?

What's up, Bubble? Why are you laughing?

These pictures were here at the hotel.

There are people bathing in the pool.

And dancing.

And also riding horses.

-It sounds good. -Cool.

-It's Estela! -What?

It's her! Look!

Look.

She looks great.

No. It isn't her. It looks like her.

Yes. It's her.

She was having a great time.

But it doesn't make sense.

How could she have been here before?

In Singapore? At this hotel?

Maybe she doesn't want us to know.

Because...

Maybe it's a secret.

Secrets shouldn't be told.

Can I keep it?

OK.

THE SHIP

We beg you, Lord, absolve the soul of your servant...

Nothing.

We've tried, but...

most of the crew is at the hotel.

And none of us knows how to operate sails.

I know.

You know what? Send two or three over there.

I want them to go to the hotel and bring all the gas they can.

They must do it with caution and subtlety. I don't want anybody to notice.

This ship is going to move no matter what.

-OK. -Who's in charge here?

-Who's the boss? -Keep an eye on him.

Hey, you! Stand up!

Come closer. Come on.

Don't move.

I'm sorry.

Listen, I know you're nervous and trying to hijack this ship,

but this little baby only knows about bottle-feeding.

And his mother doesn't have breast milk yet.

I have to go to the kitchen.

I need some milk.

You can... go on doing your thing.

Like we aren't here.

OK?

Julian, do you hear me?

Julian? Please, Julian.

Julian?

Yes, I'm here.

I'm seeing the ship has a jib partially hoisted and the mizzen is unrolled.

What's the matter?

One of the sailors has it coming for leaving the sails like this.

That's what.

OK. I feel relieved now.

I thought you were leaving without us.

We may not be together anymore,

but that doesn't mean you can leave without me.

l mean, without us.

You can relax.

Nobody will leave without you two.

Not even a tsunami can separate me from that baby, Blondie. OK?

Copy that.

Hey, Dad. Listen.

Yes?

If you'd known Mom was pregnant...

would you have left?

Yes.

I would have fled anyway.

I was already in love with Salome.

I know it's hard to say this...

but I never loved your mom, Ulises.

It's confirmed.

Jogging and smoking don't go well together.

Not long ago I could go out for drinks,

smoke like 30 cigarettes and run a marathon on the next day.

But once you turn 30, forget it!

No way, friend.

I'm Roberto.

Roberto Schneider.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Ulises. Garmendia.

-Do I know you? -No.

We've never met before...

but I know you bought a motorcycle

after working as a stevedore at the harbor...

your first girlfriend's name is Mercedes...

and you don't know your father.

You come here running...

you pretend to be nice, and describe my life in a minute.

But it turns out you don't have a drop of sweat.

Touché.

-So? -You're right.

I'm a friend of your father's.

Julian De la Cuadra.

Sailor, fan of Atletico soccer club...

He likes Varon Dandy cologne and smokes cigars like a chimney since he was 14.

I don't know what you're up to, but you've just made a mistake.

I'm fatherless.

Dad!

Dad.

What?

You spent two months with her.

You left her pregnant.

You lived at her place. Why didn't you tell her?

Because I was fucking scared.

I didn't know how to tell her that I wasn't cut out for that life.

-I was dying for getting on board. -So you cheated on her.

You abandoned her.

She spent three years waiting for you, lying in bed like a ghost.

What?

The ship is being hijacked, Dad.

Salome.

Julia and my dad are drowning.

And I've hit a guy.

Ulises, we have to reach the machine room and block the rudder.

This ship won't move.

I hope she doesn't climb down the elevator shaft.

She's a bit crazy sometimes.

I'm sure they'll find a way to get us out.

Ricardo...

I overheard Valeria talking about her mother.

She was saying...

it's becoming hard for her to recall her face...

and...

that she missed her.

Naturally.

She wants to remember her mother.

Yes.

When you proposed to me...

I didn't answer.

I want to have a family.

But it scares me to join a family which has its own memories.

Do you see my point?

I don't want to become Marisa's shadow.

I don't want to be Ainhoa and Valeria's wicked stepmother.

So what are you planning to do?

Find a guy who hasn't chosen the carpet's color or the name of his kids yet?

Because if that's the problem, Julia...

you are right.

I'll never forget Marisa.

But I wanted to start a new life with you.

Maybe it's them.

No.

The elevator is flooding.

We're sinking faster and faster.

Hello.

What's your name?

If you want, we can be friends.

I don't hang out with girls.

-And why not? -Because you are all chickens.

-I'm not a chicken! -You are.

And you wear silly glasses.

And I never want to speak to you again!

-Estela? -Yes?

Have you been here before?

In this hotel?

No, Vilma. What a stupid question.

Yes, it's really stupid.

Did you know one of the rooms downstairs has a Jacuzzi?

Seriously? Excellent. I didn't know.

-I'm gonna go try it right now. -Estela.

I am four months pregnant.

The hormones are driving me crazy,

and the last thing I need is to have a friend lie to me.

Have you been here before?

Why didn't you say anything?

Why are you lying?

How is it possible that the first place we find

after the Earth has gone to fuck

is a place where you used to ride horses?

It's none of your business, Vilma.

Estela!

Dad!

Take good care of that horse.

Last year he won the Triple Crown and it cost me almost $10 million.

Hello.

How are you?

I have a surprise for you.

Dad.

Don't tell me it's the necklace we saw yesterday.

Take a look.

Go on, open it.

-A scholarship? -A very important scholarship.

It's a scientific expedition on a school ship, the Pole Star.

You're flying to Spain tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yes. The journey begins in three days.

Dad, I've only been in Singapore for one week.

And you said you'd take me shopping at Orchard Road.

We haven't seen each other in months.

You promised we'd spend more time together.

I'm not going to Spain.

Specially not for a stupid scholarship.

More time together?

I know why you want to stay here.

To keep fucking all the hotel staff.

Don't cry, honey. You see what you make me do?

Princess, you know how to make me lose my temper.

If you want to go shopping, that's fantastic!

Tonight I'm going to organize a display of clothing in the terrace.

I'll have them open Orchard Road just for you.

You know I love you, don't you?

But never...

Never again...

will you go against me.

Is that clear?

Listen carefully, pretty boy.

If something happens to Ricardo or Julia,

you're as good as dead.

Understood?

-Don't move. -Tell her to stay. Because, then what?

What happens when the other elevator can't be used?

Once you blow off the steel sheets you'll die.

They will die if I don't go down there.

Don't! There's another option.

We can jumper the main engine

with a generator connected to the emergency wiring,

and pull them out.

I'm sure the wiring goes through here.

We'd need more time, and they don't have it.

Salome? Salome, can you hear me?

I hear you, Julian. Out.

Listen carefully. They're trying to take over the ship.

Take over?

To hijack it.

Pay attention. There's gonna be a commotion.

You need to locate Ricardo urgently.

All right. We're going to get him. Over and out.

-So? -I don't trust you.

You're with them. You put Ricardo down there.

Don't trust him, Ainhoa. He's the devil.

We'll have to make a deal with the devil.

All right. This is ready.

Piti, don't even think about putting that in the baby's mouth.

Sol, do you see any bottles around here?

I only see armed hijackers.

The other option is for you to feed him.

-But I don't think you can do that. -Right.

Why don't you chew up some crackers

and spit them into his mouth, like sparrows?

Sol, that child is starving.

And his mother is down there with six stitches, nearly dead.

So either those men brought a wet nurse,

or is this glove is the closest thing to a nipple that this baby will see.

Sweetie.

Are you hungry?

Don't worry. Uncle Piti is gonna feed you.

Mealtime is over.

The baby and his mother are going back to the hotel.

No way. That woman just gave birth, she's not getting on a boat.

And we're not gonna interrupt the feeding of the first baby in the world.

You'll have to kill me, cause as long as I'm alive,

nobody leaves this place.

Is that clear?

Not until he's fed and napping.

There's one armed guy.

I did not want to cheat on your mother.

-What? -Put yourself in my shoes. You've been there, too.

When you and Julia split up.

If you'd found out she was pregnant, would you have stayed with her?

Or would you have run away?

I'd have stayed with Julia.

Like hell. As in love as you were with Ainhoa? You still are.

You would have given up the love of your life

because you nocked up the wrong woman?

Come on man.

Look. Do you remember?

-Hey. -What are you doing?

Wait.

Hey!

Mom, I don't know if they're giving you chemotherapy,

because chemo is supposed to make you lose weight,

and you're heavier every day.

Hey. Maybe it's you who's getting weaker.

Excuse me?

-Come here! -Put me down, put me down!

Grab on to that. One, two...

Why are you looking at me?

Because I like seeing you happy.

And because...

every Thursday they put poison in your blood.

And you get out of the hospital like you're out of the amusement park.

The problems remain the same, whether you laugh or cry about them.

So, for the same price, I put on a smile on my face.

It's great.

I wish I were like this before.

We're talking about my father?

The man who went to buy smokes and never returned.

You don't remember, but...

During your first three years of life, I was...

like a ghost. I could not get it together.

Were it not for your grandmother,

I don't know what would have happened to you.

It's funny, Mom.

He left you alone and pregnant and you're the one who feels guilty.

You know what I think?

I think he did you a favor.

-Because that sailor was a piece of shit. -Ulises!

Look...

There's something I never told you.

Two years after he left,

I found a backpack behind the closet.

And inside, there was...

nearly 4 million pesetas.

And dollars.

He knew that I was up to my neck in debt.

I he left me everything he had.

And he didn't even know I was pregnant.

Your father doesn't know you exist.

All right.

Captain.

I don't know what you expect from me.

I can't go up against Marisa's ghost.

A mother is irreplaceable.

Julia, I don't want you to replace her.

I want you to be yourself.

You're the only woman I've loved after Marisa.

The second love of my life.

I can't, nor do I want to erase the past.

In my family album there are many blank pages.

And I would like you to be there.

Blowing birthday candles.

Having a pillow fight with Valeria.

Walking in the beach holding my hand.

And well, who knows...

Maybe...

with a child in your arms.

Come here.

Bring the generator and take out the wires even if you have to tear down the wall.

If he makes any strange movements, shoot him!

You need to draw the fuel out from the engine, bring a generator,

find the emergency pipes and connect them.

We'll need more than two hours.

You have 20 minutes.

Or they'll be dead.

Horrible, horrible.

But that's impossible.

Okay, great.

But it can never happen again.

That's right, great.

-Okay. -What are you doing, grandpa?

Listening to the dead talking.

With this shell I can hear their conversation.

Really?

And what do they say?

Many things. They tell stories.

They say they're in room 104-23.

And they're bored stiff.

Want to hear it?

Right.

-I hear them. -Me, too.

But I don't understand what they're saying.

Let's see.

One says to the other that his clock has stopped.

And he would like for someone to wind it up.

One must be very brave to wind up a dead man's clock.

Would you dare to do it?

Because you are no chickens.

Are you?

Excellent, excellent.

Excellent.

You have the harpoon's safety on.

It's the orange lever.

If you leave it on and pour gas to the generator,

I'll be grateful.

Salome.

I'm listening, Ainhoa. Tell me, honey.

I'm on the 104th floor.

The elevator is shaking. It works, but very slowly.

Ainhoa!

Ainhoa, wait until it fully stops before drilling. Did you hear? Don't worry, honey. Everything will be all right.

Of course it will.

Of course it will.

Salome, if something goes wrong...

tell Valeria that I went to take the letter to Mom...

that I don't trust the balloons.

She'll understand, okay?

Over.

Salome.

We're getting them out of there.

Girls like Ainhoa are lucky.

Let's go away, Estela.

Let's get out of here.

Let's leave everything behind and run away.

My father would never allow that.

Your father is a fucking lunatic and you need to get away from him.

With me.

Somewhere he'll never find us.

You don't understand.

There's no place where he can't find us.

He has contacts all over the world.

He'll know where we are with a phone call.

It's useless.

He'll never find us.

Look me in the eye.

Look at me.

I swear...

your father will never hurt you again.

Because he'll never...

he'll never find us.

Tomorrow.

At seven.

Here. Come get me.

I'll go with you.

Maybe it sounds opportunistic, but...

my answer is yes.

I want to marry you.

And I want to choose my side of the bed...

and I want to kiss you in public...

and I want to walk hand in hand with you always.

And start our photo album...

even if we have to draw the pictures

with Valeria's markers.

Even if our marriage lasted...

three minutes?

I've never been married...

so I don't care if it's three minutes, three years or the rest of my life.

I do.

I do.

Dad?

Ainhoa?

Dad?

Ainhoa!

I hear you, honey!

Okay, Dad, I'm going to get you out of there.

I'll give you an air tube so you can breathe

...until they can power the elevator up again, okay?

No, it's very dangerous, honey. Get out!

You go first.

It's very cold.

I'm sure that's why they're covered up.

We need to wind up the clock,

but we don't know which one.

It's there. The man with the clock in his arm.

You first.

Why me?

Because I have the flashlight...

so you can see.

What if we do it at the same time?

What?

They have them all locked in the dining hall.

We'll have to go in...

and face them. Ready?

-Dad, listen to me. -What?

I never would've left my son, okay?

I would've stayed and faced the situation.

Piti...

If you can be the sweet guy who takes care of a baby,

why do you want to be the idiot

that pretends to be a doctor to look at tits?

I don't know.

I guess it's easier to be an idiot than a hero.

I'll tell you how your life would've been if I'd stayed.

You'd have been...

watching how your parents slept in separate beds, with no kisses,

without talking to each other at breakfast.

And you'd have been wondering every day:

"Why don't they love each other if they fucking love me?".

It would've been like that.

Is that a family, Ulises?

Come here.

I'm glad to see you again, Ulises.

Have you reconsidered?

Why now?

Why does he want to meet me after 20 years?

No, he doesn't want to meet you.

He doesn't know he has a son.

Then what is this shit?

Look, Ulises...

you probably won't understand it now,

but...

you're special.

So I'm special?

You're part of something...

something called the Alexandria project.

-And I chose you. -I'm not part of anything.

You are, Ulises, even if you don't want to.

Ever since you were born.

You need to trust me, Ulises.

You need to meet your father because your life depends on it.

Okay, now go.

Go!

Piti, they started the ship.

We're moving.

Sol, take him.

Let's go.

Piti...

Piti, what're you doing?

Piti, have you lost your mind?

There're people with guns out there.

Do you want to get killed?

I won't stay hidden while they take the Star.

There's still...

a lot of us in that hotel.

There's Vilma.

It'll be all right.

Well, if it goes wrong...

tell Vilma I was an idiot until the end.

Come on!

What the fuck is going on here? What's going on?

-Stop! -Get back!

Why don't you lower your guns, go to your little hotel,

and pretend that nothing happened?

Because you'll never take the Star, do you hear me?

Never!

Don't even think about it.

Don't grab me. Wait.

Come on.

Stop right there.

One more step and I'll blow your brains out, blind man.

Gentlemen...

if I may, before this goes haywire...

I'd like to share with you what I think of this situation.

Dad, I'm going to hand you the tube.

There it is!

Do you have it, Dad?

I got it, Ainhoa! I got it!

If I haven't counted wrong...

you have about eight people.

Let's say ten.

Minus...

two or three that Ulises left unconscious, there's seven left.

Let's say there's two guns...

against seven.

Okay?

If you're going to shoot,

and I assure you that you'll have to if you want to sail more than a mile,

you'll lose two men in the initial chaos.

There's five left...

minus other one that will fall in a desperate attack

before you have total control of the ship.

There's four left.

Let's say three.

Are you going to lose more than 50% of your men

when you can go to another ship?

Another ship?

Yes, another ship.

Not far from here, ten miles northwest,

there's another ship that's exactly like this one.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the ship.

I don't like dead people.

They really scare me.

But you were right, I'm a coward,

and you don't want to be friends with a coward.

I was scared too.

The truth is I almost pissed my pants.

Are we friends then?

What's your name?

Mouse.

That's not a name.

Well, Valeria...

"Valeria" is very pretty, and you have the name of an ugly animal.

Mice aren't ugly.

You're just scared of them.

-I'm not scared of mice. -Yes, you are.

I'm not scared of them, you are.

You're lying, you're always wrong.

Very well, I see you like math.

But do you really think I'll buy what you just said?

Don't you trust the word of a blind man?

It's another ship with a Russian flag...

just like this one.

And even better...

it doesn't have a crew.

And the rudder is not jammed.

You can't change the course of this ship. Let's assume this is true.

Why don't you take your stuff,

go to the other ship and leave this one to us?

Because this is our house, man.

In this ship...

I've met my first son...

and I'm going for the second one.

So if you think we're going to move...

you're in trouble.

-What? -It's true.

It looks like there's another ship...

and it's in good condition.

The blind man is right.

What's it going to be?

Are you shooting or leaving?

I used to spend the summer here.

Either here or in Cancun.

Or in Thailand.

Wow.

I envy you, my parents took me camping to Moralzarzal.

I envy you.

Everyone aboard the Star were chosen for a reason.

Because you have a role to play.

Everyone but me.

I'm here because my father pulled some strings.

Your father?

The owner of this hotel.

The owner of the Polar Star.

All that's left in the world belongs to my father. Everything.

And if there's a piece of land out there, it'll also be his.

Who is your father?

Onassis?

A man that gets everything he wants.

Absolutely everything.

Get in the car.

Where is he?

What did you do to him?

I told you to get in the car.

I'm not getting in the car with you. Where is he?

You killed him!

You killed him!

Even if you don't believe me...

I'm saving your life, honey.

Let's go.

-Ready? -Ready.

Pull it hard.

It works.

They're not going up.

They're too heavy.

It's going up.

It's moving.

It's moving!

It's not strong enough to pull both of them up.

Ainhoa.

No!

It's working, Ainhoa! We're going up, Ainhoa!

Yes, Dad. I'll meet you up there.

Ainhoa.

Come on!

Salome?

Salome, what's going on?

It's shaking, but it's not going up.

It's making a lot of noise, it looks like it's going to blow up.

Don't worry, honey.

The generator is gaining strength.

Are you going to lose more than 50% of your men

when you can go to another ship?

Not far from here, there's another ship

that's exactly like this one.

Do you know the box number 33?

The one we store in the pantry?

Get it out of there and take it to the Russian ship.

Why do you want to get rid of the transponder?

That tracker was the thing that let the people of Leonor board us.

The same one that let them find us in the middle of the night,

and kidnap Bubble...

and your father.

If we take it to the Russian ship... they'll chase a ghost...

and we'll disappear.

Maybe I'm not a bad person after all, right, Ulises?

What was in that box?

It wasn't just the transponder, Gamboa.

I told you.

A blinking light.

Salome.

Ainhoa.

Where's Ainhoa?

Ainhoa!

Ainhoa!

The generator couldn't lift both elevators.

What do you mean?

Where are De la Cuadra and Ulises?

What the fuck have you done? What the fuck have you done?

They're gone, they're not coming back. Let them go.

Ulises, the few people remaining in this world will write the new history.

Do you really want those men to be in it?

You saw what they were capable of. Stealing, kidnapping, killing.

-You're not better than them. -It's possible.

But I have the detonator.

And you took the bomb there because you wanted a picture, right?

Do you think you're better than me?

What the fuck have you done?

What have you done?

Ainhoa. Gamboa... Gamboa, no!

Payday.

Your secret is still safe.

There're no more copies, negatives, or digital files.

Go and live happily with you girl...

and tell her that you love her every day when you wake up,

and that there're no secrets between you before you go to bed.

That's the basis of a happy marriage.

Hello?

Hello!

Where were you?

Hey! What're you doing?

Let me go!

Breathe!

Come on!

What the hell is going on?

I warned you, Captain.

Don't give me bullshit!

Nobody takes a ship if they don't know where it's going.

Where were those people going?

The day after the cataclysm...

we received a radio signal from a plane.

We know where the land is, Captain.

Dulce.

Are you getting married?

Hooray for the bride and groom!

We decided to have an open relationship.

-Oh, yes? -Yes.

The wedding night is around the corner and he doesn't know what to do.

I don't know if you'll impress her with this underwear.

Or maybe you'll really impress her.

-What do you think? -He doesn't want lessons from me.

And you?

Choose 20 people from the Polar Star to stay in the building.

You have the ship, I have the coordinates.

What do you have over there?

They're things from when I was Roberto.

-Hello. -Hello.

I swear to God, I wasn't like that on land.

Let me live, Dad!

Andres!

If there's another quake, get under a table or a bed.

Help me make the list of the people we'll leave to drown.

You're sailing in a ship that, if everything goes well,

will reach the land, and I know where it is.

You'll have to remember, Roberto.

The quake is not the only phenomenon of the day.

-A tsunami is coming towards us. -What?

If it hits us, it'll flip the Star like a nutshell.

It's on us, Ulises.
