Original subtitles

[indistinct, muffled chatter]

[bright instrumental music rises]

["Cold Outside" by Ruth Moody playing]

[man] This is Ane.

And I'm Max.

For most of my life, whenever I did something

for the first time, she was with me.

The first time that I ever played with fire.

The first time that I ever went on vacation with a girl.

The first time that I felt an adrenaline rush.

[Ane] Whoo!

[speaking inaudibly]

[Max] The first time that I felt afraid.

[water splashes]

[Max] And the first time that I felt lucky.

The first time that we were brave.

The first time that we showed our feelings for each other.

[man whistles]

[kisses]

[Max] The first time that we hurt each other over petty nonsense.

-[exclaims] -[Ane squeals]

[Max] The first time I was successful…

[thunder rumbles]

…and there was nothing left to do but celebrate.

-[engine revs] -[kids exclaim]

-[laughing] -[Max] Give me one of those! Baby!

-[dance music playing on stereo] -Mm!

[laughs]

Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!

[brakes screech]

[crash echoes, fades]

[Max] And the first time that I killed the love of my life.

[thunder rumbles]

[heavy rain pattering on roof]

[haunting piano tune playing]

[breathing shakily]

[Max] On the day of my 19th birthday,

I was sentenced to prison for involuntary manslaughter.

Tormented by grief and pain, and seeing as I was also a millionaire…

[inmates clamoring]

…I soon became the perfect prey in Cellblock Three.

Pretty soon, I had to pay just to breathe.

My grandmother hid 4,000 dollars inside of Shakespeare's complete works.

She was able to slip me some books, thanks to a few small bribes.

-[intense music playing] -[register dings]

[Max] But even with all our money,

the time came when I couldn't pay for my protection.

Then the beatings became more frequent.

They beat me with socks stuffed with stones,

they cut me with tin cans, they burned me with cigarette butts.

And in the end, they put me in a washing machine.

I spent a full 16 minutes in the short cycle for delicate fabrics.

But they took me out before the spin cycle.

That's when I realized, I was already dead.

[bleak, somber music playing]

[Max] And as I was waiting for my soul to leave me…

I was thinking that maybe I had used up all the pain cards that life had dealt me.

And that thought made me happy.

It gave me the strength to get back up.

I was convinced that if I made it back to my feet again,

there would be no more pain.

No more tragedy.

No one comes back from hell to live another shitty life.

[Max laughing]

[Max] From then on, I could look forward to enjoying life,

even in a hellhole like this.

So I stood up.

[bright music playing]

[Max] And that was the first day of the new man I had become.

Hey!

So that's the best you can do?

Delicate, really? No prewash? That's better than a shower!

You sons of bitches bitches forgot the conditioner!

[inmates laughing]

[energetic music playing]

[Max panting]

I became a raging beast.

-[grunting] -[crowd cheering]

[Max] And after 15 fights, I'd earned some respect.

[man 1] Oh!

[grunting]

[man 2] Come on!

[Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons: Spring" playing]

[Max] I really enjoyed fighting. It helped me.

Changed my outlook on life.

Soon, even those repeated trips to the dentist

became joyous celebrations of the intense beauty of life.

[bright classical music continues]

[inmates cheer]

[Max] It was here, in the most unexpected of places,

that I realized that life could be blissfully beautiful.

[reporter 1 on TV] Tension keeps mounting in Algeciras,

after NATO ordered the seizure of a Russian submarine.

Authorities suspect it was carrying nuclear missiles.

-However, the Russian ambassador… -[guard] Max Varela?

-Yeah? -[guard] The judge accepted your appeal.

-You're getting out today. -Why?

Your sentence has been reduced for good behavior.

-[inmates laugh] -[man] Good behavior?

Get ready.

[reporter 2] We've learned a Chinese aircraft carrier

has been sunk in the Taiwan Strait.

The incident takes place just one week

after the Chinese mainland forces invaded Taiwan.

The Chinese authorities have reacted immediately.

The government has promised swift…

[inmates chanting and cheering]

[uplifting instrumental music playing]

[door buzzes, unlocks]

[door buzzes]

When did you get… the new clothes?

We haven't seen each other in more than three years,

and you're worried about how I look?

I came to visit three times, but you refused to see me.

I sat in that waiting room on my own for over an hour.

I was kinda busy with my demons. My mood changed after that.

Maybe you should've come back a fourth time.

[jet engines whirring overhead]

[exhales sharply]

Max, listen. I've spent weeks at appeals court asking for your release

because I need you to come with me. [sighs]

I've got other plans for today.

Sitting on the beach,

with my feet in the sand and good paella.

That sounds nice, but I don't know if you were aware, in there,

about what's going on outside.

So, I… I just need you to listen.

At the moment, there is a very high risk war will break out.

-Sure. -So, I need you to come with me right now.

And where will you take me?

It's sort of a refuge. [exhales]

[tense music playing]

[shakily] Like a bunker.

You'll put me back inside a hole the day I'm being released?

I will never go anywhere with you.

Understood?

You screwed up our relationship all by yourself.

And I'm grateful there's nothing left between us.

Except maybe some chromosomes.

But I left everything else back inside.

I'm trying to save your life, Max. I'm serious.

We're facing an imminent crisis.

And the people running this bunker

are linked to the Secret Services and the government.

Come with me, Max.

Take care, Dad.

Your mother's already there.

And your grandmother too.

This might be the last chance you'll ever get to say goodbye to her.

There's someone else. Ane's father's there too.

[music grows somber]

I believe the time is right.

You've gotta speak to him, don't you?

Time to heal old wounds, right?

You have to do this Max, sooner or later. [sighs]

Wanna take it for a ride?

Your first taste of freedom?

How'd you find out about this bunker?

[Varela] I met this colonel at the tennis club,

and he put me in contact with the people in charge.

Everything has been handled with the utmost secrecy.

We've invested millions into this bunker.

Congratulations. If you are watching this, you've purchased a luxury bunker.

You and your family are part of a few privileged clients

who have the possibility of surviving

for more than ten years in a secure and safe environment,

should a catastrophe occur.

From this moment on, our advisors will be working for you.

If they deem that the situation has become critical,

you will be contacted and requested to move immediately,

and as a purely preventive measure, into your bunker.

[man on radio] Airspace restrictions are effective as of 13:00 hours.

All civil aviation traffic is now prohibited.

All civil aviation flights are now prohibited.

-Sorry, we can't take off today, sir. -We still have enough time.

Please.

It's only midday.

-[energetic music playing] -[sighs]

I would like to remind you that it is imperative that the location of

and the existence of the bunker remain absolutely secret.

Imagine for a moment if we find ourselves in the middle of a world war.

And now imagine what would happen if your neighbor or a distant relative

or your coworker learned that there was a safe underground sanctuary.

This would potentially put the lives of everyone here at risk.

Kimera is located at the bottom of a lake.

It is safely hidden 900 feet below the surface of the water.

We have spent the last seven years working tirelessly for you,

building the most exclusive bunker in the entire world.

It is a fascinating work of modern engineering.

The entire complex is built inside an ancient cavern,

where 45 million years ago,

it was home to a natural pocket of gas.

[energetic music swells]

Ladies and gentlemen, your new city.

Consisting of three platforms with 45 family units,

all contained and protected within an impenetrable high-tech shelter.

Here, you will come to realize that safety and luxury are not incompatible.

Would you like to take a look?

Please, follow me.

Gentlemen, welcome.

Here are the numbers of your safety deposit box.

You must lock all your personal items and phones inside.

-What for? -For your security, sir.

If for some reason, someone tracks your GPS,

then they might locate our position.

[blonde woman] The complex covers 20,000 square feet.

It has been designed to offer you a sense of space and of elegance.

Over there is our magnificent Japanese garden.

And there, a dedicated area for your children

where they can play and eat and also attend school.

[Max] And these suits?

[receptionist] For your security.

Each one of your suits is fitted with a Geiger counter to monitor radiation.

The suit also has a device to monitor air quality.

[blonde woman] Amber and turquoise,

the color schemes we have chosen for the city,

were chosen to promote a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere.

[receptionist] With these bracelets, we will monitor your vital signs,

your heart rate, as well as your breathing and oxygen levels.

The bracelets are locked permanently to avoid losing them.

[blonde woman] Within the city, you can enjoy rooms

dedicated to your personal well-being.

This space is one of my favorites.

The water is at 110.

Please put you hand here for the scan.

All the doors inside the bunker are opened using biometric authentication.

No keys are needed.

The views from your cabin can be modified to suit your preferences,

thanks to Roxán, your virtual assistant.

-Roxán? -[Roxán] Yes?

-Take us to the mountains? -Certainly, Minerva.

[Minerva] Hopefully, you will never have to come here.

But if that does happen, don't worry.

My team and I are perfectly prepared to provide for your needs.

[uplifting music peaks, fades]

[sighs happily]

[gasps]

Oh, my Max!

[sighs] Darling.

Let me look at you.

[Max] How are you, Grandma? Who's this gentleman?

That's Antonio. He's my new nurse.

It's so much more exotic to have your chemotherapy in a bunker,

than in a hospital bed, don't you think, Max?

How have you been, son?

-I've been good. -Good.

-And you, Mom? How are you? -Much better now.

[Max] Yeah, me too.

…a press conference.

He has qualified the attack as an act of war.

He maintains that the attack is totally unacceptable

and will have serious repercussions. [echoes]

[peaceful piano music playing]

[light chatter]

[tense music rises]

[quietly] You gotta be kidding.

[fork clatters]

Dad, listen to me. Don't make a scene. Promise me.

Okay, thank you.

[suspenseful music building]

[Max takes a deep breath]

Max.

[quietly] Guillermo.

I see that… you must have paid your debt to society.

You're a free man now.

And now the only debt left is with you.

Maybe you'll always think of me as the man who killed your daughter.

[Guillermo sniffles]

But I wanted to look you in the eye and tell you that I'm sorry.

And that I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

And one day, I hope that this wound will heal.

Let's hope.

[exhales shakily]

Well, let's have lunch together, like we used to do

during our summer parties.

Even though this is a far cry from our parties.

They're coming this way.

This is truly unbelievable.

Hello.

This is Mimi, my wife.

We were married two years ago.

Hi. Very nice to meet everyone.

My mother died six months after my sister.

-Losing Ane was too much for her-- -Asia.

Marta died in a traffic accident shortly afterwards.

-Let's have lunch. -Yes.

-[mother] Where would you like us? -[grandmother] I'll sit here.

I'll sit over here.

Antonio, you sit over there.

-Perfect. -[grandmother] Good.

Now, let me see what's on the menu.

-[woman] Good afternoon. -Thanks.

The restaurant is a self-service buffet. We do not offer service at the table.

I invite you, please, to help yourselves.

Enjoy your meal, everyone.

Young lady,

are you telling me that I've paid 50 million dollars

into this place, and now you expect me to help myself at the buffet?

[woman] I'm sorry, Mrs. Riquelme,

the complex does not have the capacity

to offer you a five-star dining experience.

It's for your own safety. We're counting on your collaboration.

If you would excuse me.

[laughs] Buffet? Like an all-inclusive resort?

And they serve you your breakfast on those plastic trays.

Well, it's unusual, but we still have to eat.

Well, I for one, will not be getting up.

You start by serving the food, and you end up cleaning the toilets.

What do you mean, Grandma?

Imagine for a second that the outside world simply evaporates

and we end up staying longer than we thought.

What would become of us then?

We would become something like the animals on Noah's Ark. Right?

[Riquelme] Precisely.

[Max] We agree.

A new civilization. One has two types of people.

Those that serve and those that command.

That is simply the way that humanity works,

and we are not going to contradict history

by submitting to this lunch they're proposing.

And you must choose right from the get-go.

We wouldn't want them to mistake us for one of the servants.

Or even worse.

[Guillermo chuckles]

Antonio, go get me an appetizer.

[sighs] Darling, they're running out of sirloin steak.

I can get you one if you want.

I'll take care of it.

Excuse me, miss?

Yes, Mr. Falcon.

I'm sorry to disturb you, but do you see that lady?

She's been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Metastatic.

That thing on her neck is not a sticker.

It's a morphine patch.

After walking a few feet, she falls down.

And you want her to get a tray to get her own vegetables?

[woman] I beg your pardon. I'll bring you whatever you need.

Get me two sirloin steaks, one rare and one medium-rare, in case.

And also, a side of sautéed peppers,

oven-roasted potatoes, and some pasta.

-Al dente. -Yes, sir.

[chuckles, sighs]

I had completely forgotten how amusing my family was.

-Honestly, I'm really happy to be back. -[family chuckles]

-Steak for you, Dad? -Mm. Well, um…

I'm not hungry. I'm feeling a little… exhausted after all that happened today.

Miss, I'll have the salmon, like the gentleman over there.

I think it would be a good idea to bring her steamed vegetables.

For the vitamins.

-And some fruit too. -[Max] Yeah.

Now that Max is back with us again, I have a question I'd like to ask him.

Something I've had on my mind… for the past three years.

What does it take to run away from an accident

and leave your girlfriend to die alone?

[tense music playing]

[brakes screech]

[Max sobbing]

[muffled scream]

[mournful music peaks, fades]

Asia, right now, we're trying to reunite both families.

To try and live in peace after… so much suffering.

[Asia] Yeah.

But I can never find peace if I don't know why he fled.

You were driving the car.

My sister, Ane, died because of you, Max.

And you just ran away.

Why?

[muffled sobbing]

I loved your sister more than anyone in my life.

You say that you loved her, yet somehow you abandoned her.

[Riquelme] Asia, sweetie…

We all loved your sister.

All that you need to know is that your sister died in an accident

and that everyone else sitting around this table has accepted that fact.

You must accept it too.

Antonio, see if there's anything left for dessert.

[ominous string music rises]

[mysterious music fades]

Welcome, everyone, to Kimera.

My name is Minerva.

Our current lockdown is a precaution,

due to the ongoing escalation of events, as you've all witnessed.

And that now appears, unfortunately, to be getting worse.

The Atlantic Alliance has just bombed Saint Petersburg

in response to the invasion of Norway.

We are all hoping that common sense will prevail

and that we can leave our temporary lockdown.

But in any case…

I wanted everyone here to know… that you're perfectly safe.

We have contingency plans for any changes in outside circumstances.

The question is…

Is everyone here prepared to continue living in the bunker?

If the tragedy above continues, your emotional balance

will hang by a thread.

Anguish and hopelessness will spread amongst you all

and lead to widespread depression.

Which will not happen on my watch.

Kimera is not one of your companies. Here, I'm in charge.

You have hired me to take care of your security.

And part of your security is also your mental health.

Which is why socializing is mandatory.

We will all eat together.

That means you will all get your own food,

and when you're done,

you will all return your trays to the galley.

You will take part in various social activities

and simple menial tasks

to keep your minds occupied and to keep negative thoughts at bay.

Mr. Aranoa, how are you?

-I'm fine. -[chuckles]

Can you tell me… a joke or a funny story?

Uh, at the moment, nothing comes to mind.

Tell me one. You must have heard hundreds of jokes.

I'm sorry. To be honest, I can't think of anything funny at the moment.

Nothing funny comes to mind because he's preoccupied.

The only thing on his mind is the image of a nuclear mushroom.

Am I right?

The next step of the process will be insomnia.

Then he'll stop talking.

And then the inevitable spiral of depression.

And then a consultation with our own psychologist, Nano Parker.

Or a visit to see our doctor, Julia Baldini, to get medication.

The only resource readily available to you down here to face your anxiety

will be your own unique sense of humor.

So, let me ask my question once again.

Does anyone in the room have a funny story to share?

[residents murmuring]

I'll go.

Um… Hi, everyone.

So, on my way over here, I had so many questions in my mind.

And then when I arrived upstairs at the reception,

I… I asked the young lady there…

Yeah, I asked her,

"What's the food like in an underground nuclear shelter?"

And do you know what she said? [laughs]

"It's to die for!"

[group laughs]

That attitude is exactly what we want in the bunker.

And believe me, I'm not being facetious.

Thank you, Frida.

And now, please, enjoy the rest of your meal.

[gently] Thank you.

[ominous string music resumes]

See you later.

[foreboding music fades]

[huffs] His time in prison seems to have done that punk some good.

"Heal the wound," he says.

The wound will never heal as long as my daughter is dead. [seethes]

Guillermo, you have to calm down. One war is already enough.

I just heard that North America was bombed.

Canada's reduced to ashes.

Do you really think that I care about Canada at the moment?

I've got cramps in my feet… from holding back

because all I wanted to do…

was to take that fucking tray and smash his fucking head with it.

-Guillermo. Shh. -But no, I had to pretend I was calm.

-Laugh at his stupid jokes. -Shh.

-[Guillermo] And that woman! -You're hyperventilating.

-Telling my daughter to shut up?! -[Mimi] Relax.

Sit here by the window. That's it. That's better

I've never held back my emotions, and I'm afraid of what might happen.

If I keep seeing him day in and day out, I'll end up killing him.

Guillermo, now you're starting to sound crazy, baby.

You think I'm going crazy?

And what about him destroying my life? What about that?

Because my life ended back then.

Stop saying that.

We're together, we're married, and we have our own family, darling.

[tense music playing]

Tell me something, Mimi.

Why do you think I made you my wife?

You used to be my lover.

And then my wife died.

And after that, I married you.

So answer me, Mimi.

Or would you prefer I answer?

The only reason we got married…

is because of… a nebulous cloud of confusion

inside my brain.

The suffocating sadness of losing my daughter and my wife.

And the antidepressants. [inhales deeply]

Because of these random chemical molecules stumbling around inside my crazy brain.

Lovers tend to arrive late to the equation, am I right?

And yet, you want me to love you as if you were the love of my life.

-You said I was the love of your life. -Well, you're not.

And you never were.

And everybody else knows. Everybody.

Even my daughter knows that I'm just sacrificing myself.

This marriage of ours… is simply the confluence of…

our mutual… orphanhood.

[Mimi sobs]

Like symbiosis. Like nature documentaries.

Think about that, Mimi.

[unsettling music playing]

[Asia panting]

[exhales heavily]

You have time to talk?

No. I'm working out.

How much longer?

A few more miles.

Okay. I can wait.

You've always had a grudge against me.

You said that Santa wasn't real, asshole.

[scoffs] But you don't resent me for that.

[Asia sighs]

[sniffles]

Resentment's a bitch, Asia.

I don't particularly give a damn that you hate me.

But for you, you have to keep it inside.

You'll feel it when you wake up and when you go to bed.

And when you come here to run because you hate yourself.

[sighs, sniffles]

I come here to run because exercise generates endorphins

that act in my nervous system at a molecular level

to help stop the suffering.

And serotonin that helps reduce my levels of stress.

You spending your nights on Wikipedia?

[scoffs] No. Most of my nights, I spend studying medicine, Max.

The world is about to end. Did you come here to piss me off?

Because I'm being polite, but you're being a perfect douchebag.

I came here to give you something.

[gentle music playing]

I took it on the day of the accident.

I went back so often just to see if I could find anything

that belonged to her somewhere.

When my dad told me you were here,

I figured that it was time to give you back her memories.

It's the same password.

Roxán, close the door.

[Roxán] Right away, Asia.

The door is closed.

Okay, here we are in Tuscany. And we will attempt to record something

that has never been seen before.

After a siesta of over two hours,

we're gonna see if… Ane will wake up in a good mood.

[tender music playing]

[Max, softly] There she is.

-Let's see what happens. -[laughs sadly]

[Max, gently] Ane.

-Ane, it's time to go to the beach. -[sobs]

-[Ane] Mm… -[Max] I'm recording this for posterity.

[chuckles] Leave me alone, Max.

-I'll go later. -[laughs]

[Max] Let's see how she reacts to the treatment.

Do you think it worked?

Look. She's smiling.

This is the first time you've woken up without complaining.

How does the subject feel?

It's horrible.

The worst experience ever.

[laughs]

[Ane] I'm gonna kill you.

Even though it looks like I'm still asleep.

[Guillermo] Another whiskey.

[bartender] I'm sorry, Mr. Falcon.

Drinks in the bunker are limited to two a day.

You've already had two. We have to manage limited resources.

-What's your name, son? -Tirso.

Tirso. Hmm.

Let's worry about managing resources when there's only three bottles left.

But for the moment, pour me another whiskey.

I'm sorry. That's not possible. It's against the rules.

That's just the way it is.

[tense music rises]

Listen to me, you pedantic pussy.

If you need a good reason to pour me that whiskey,

allow me to give you one.

This bunker was financed by contributions from the guests.

So in many respects, a percentage of all of this is mine.

So, in purely mathematical terms, I'm the boss around here.

So, Tirso… whiskey.

[Varela] Hey, kid.

Two whiskeys for me.

Being here with your son is not gonna be easy.

[Varela] Then you'll have to learn.

Like I learned to live without him.

How long do you think we'll be here? One week?

Two? Two at most. Hmm?

You can do it.

[jazz music playing on stereo]

[low rumbling]

[rumbling grows louder]

[electricity crackling]

-[man 1] No! -[man 2] What's happening?

-[residents clamoring] -[woman shrieks]

-[glass shatters] -What the hell?!

[unsettling music swells]

EMERGENCY! PROCEED TO DOME IMMEDIATELY

[gasps]

[group screams]

[Asia yelps]

[panting]

Anyone there?

[man] Move it! Faster!

[woman screams]

-Dad! -[automated voice] Move to the dome.

-Dad! -The dome is the safest place.

-Mimi! -Remain calm.

-Mimi, where's my father? -I don't know.

-Where is he? Tell me. -He went for a drink. I don't know!

-You can't stay here. -Leave me!

-Come on! -I wanna be alone! Leave me!

[automated voice] Move to the dome.

The dome is the safest place in the bunker.

-Frida! -Asia!

Take her to the dome with you!

Asia, come with us!

Not now! I need to find my father first!

[all screaming]

[Asia gasping for air]

[cries out]

-[man screams] -[Asia gasps]

[panicked clamoring grows louder]

-[Asia yelps] -[crowd screaming]

[Asia] Dad!

Where are you?

-No!- -Move to the dome.

The dome is the safest place in the bunker.

Remain calm.

[Asia] Dad!

[strains]

No! No!

-[somber strings playing] -No, no! [whines]

[music peaks, fades]

[gasps]

[haunting piano music playing]

[gasps] Dad!

I'm okay. It's just a concussion.

[Max] He's stitched up.

And disinfected.

How's Mimi? Where is Mimi?

We had an argument. She took it badly.

Don't worry about it. She made it to the dome.

[Tirso] This way!

This way, let's go! Move it!

[group straining]

[intense music playing]

[automated voice] Once everyone is safe inside the dome,

the blast doors shall be closed.

Everyone, please find a seat and remain calm.

[Tirso cries out, grunts]

We have to take the elevator.

[all straining]

[Tirso] Faster! Move it!

[elevator creaking]

-[metal screeching] -[all scream]

[Roxán chimes] Emergency break activated.

[all panting]

[Tirso] This way! Quickly!

-This way! C'mon! -Keep going.

[Roxán] Once everyone is safe inside the dome,

the blast doors shall be closed.

Everyone, please find a seat and remain calm.

[Tirso] Don't stop. Keep going.

[dramatic music swells]

[overlapping news broadcasts]

[foreboding music building]

[Varela] Max! Max.

[music dies down]

-[Frida] Max. -Mr. Falcon, for your wound.

-Please have a seat. -[Asia] Come with me.

Let's go.

[indistinct chatter]

[unsettling music playing]

Sit down everyone. Please, sir.

Your attention please.

Not far south from here,

one of the Atlantic Alliance military bases

has been hit by a nuclear missile.

What you felt was the shock of the detonation

and subsequent seismic shocks,

caused when the tectonic plates shifted from the explosion.

The UN has called for a ceasefire, and it would appear…

that the belligerent parties involved have respected the call.

I realize these are exceptionally difficult times,

but we must remain calm.

These images were taken from the tower where you entered this morning.

Right now, you are all seated 1,000 feet below ground.

This is the safest place inside the bunker.

Everyone will wait here until the aftershocks pass.

You will continue to receive live feeds on the screens in front of you.

And later on…

[tense music swells]

[all gasp]

[static crackling on monitors]

-[loud blast] -[crowd shrieks]

-[music cuts out] -[all scream]

I need to go to the control center.

I'll keep you updated. Thank you all.

Let's go.

[sighs] I can't believe what's happening.

I can't believe what we saw, Dad. We just arrived here two days ago.

Nuclear war doesn't take a few days.

It takes a few minutes. I'm sorry.

[sobs]

[ominous music peaks, fades]

[hushed, indistinct chatter]

I realize this might not be the best time, considering what's happening.

But I'd like to answer your question, Asia.

I know something… that none of you have heard before.

I'm the one who told Max to run away the day of the accident.

[somber music playing]

I'm the one who told him to hide in the woods.

[engine revving]

[thunder rumbles]

[Varela] Max!

[sobbing] My son!

Son, what have you done?

Max, run away and hide for three days.

You have a severe concussion. You…

You're in shock, and this--

No, we have to help her!

-[grunting and panting] -Son. Max.

[echoing] Stop, stop.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

She's gone, She's gone. It's over. Max, she's gone.

[crying] No! Please, I can't…

[echoing] I can't leave her!

If you leave now, we can pretend this was an accident.

But if you stay here, it'll be murder. You understand?

You're high, you're drunk…

Go now.

[Max sobbing]

[Varela] Go, leave!

Run!

Run, Max!

[Max sobbing]

-[dialing] -[operator] 911.

[Varela] There's been an accident. A woman's been killed.

I can't find my son.

We're on Highway 385, seven-mile marker. Please hurry!

[call disconnects]

You're saying… that you had a plan?

A plan to save your son?

And you betrayed him?

-Why? -I changed my mind.

My first thought was to keep him out of prison.

To keep him out of jail at all costs.

But then, during the trial, I kept asking myself…

What lesson am I teaching my son with these lies?

[man] It is possible the cranial trauma that occurred at the time of the accident

would have caused the defendant severe post-traumatic stress symptoms

as well as a concussion, amnesia, and mental confusion.

And that would explain why Max Varela was not present at the scene

when the police arrived.

He suffered post-traumatic shock.

That confirms that we are dealing with a tragic accident.

Therefore, I ask the jury to no longer consider

the accusation of homicide.

I decided that the best thing I could do was to make him take responsibility

for the pain he caused.

I had to tell the truth.

-[intense music playing] -[camera shutters clicking]

[judge] Mr. Varela,

were you present at the time the defendant drove away in the car?

Yes, Your Honor.

[judge] Can you tell us, please, exactly what happened?

[Varela] I heard noises outside.

I looked out the window and saw the car leaving the garage

and heading towards the driveway.

I went downstairs.

I saw Max at the wheel.

-[echoing] Please, Rafa. -With Ane in the passenger seat.

I told them not to go driving in the rain.

-I took the keys from the ignition. -[Max] What are you doing?

Max was furious and got out of the car.

-Dad! -[Varela] We struggled.

-You're high. -Give me the keys!

There was a stench of alcohol on his breath,

and his pupils were badly dilated.

He was drunk, and he was high.

But then he… managed to get the keys from me.

You're high.

And he drove off.

-Max! -[engine revving]

[judge] Thank you.

Based on the testimony provided by the key eyewitness,

the Court hereby rejects the motion of the defense of accidental death

and moves to…

That's only the half-truth.

The half that put Max in jail.

[Varela sighs]

But what about the other half?

The one where you told him to leave.

Max was only a child.

He did what his father told him to do.

And remember, before you decided to open your mouth,

he was going to be acquitted.

[sighs]

For many years now, I have kept my personal opinion

about your husband to myself.

But that was before I heard his confession.

This pathetic excuse of a man was prepared to send his only son

and my grandson to prison.

To serve hard time for three full years.

I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that.

I have to admit, I let myself be swayed by your determination to marry

the most mediocre specimen from your class.

However, I kept saying to myself,

"One day she'll realize just how pathetic he really is."

But that day never came around.

But I'm not gonna dwell on what was a beginner's mistake.

An honest mistake.

I've never considered my marriage to be a mistake.

-[sighs] -It was you who made the mistake, Mom.

When you became pregnant

and didn't have the courage to have an abortion.

As a child growing up, all I remember is your disdain.

Always wanting to change me.

Wanting to change my friends, my career.

[chuckles sadly] My future.

You were such a toxic mother.

My teenage years felt like one big anxiety attack.

Throwing up… in the bathroom at German school.

So I hung on to whoever could stop me from drowning.

The boy sitting next to me.

My good friend, Rafa.

Of course, it wasn't love.

But he saved me.

[somber music intensifies]

[generators whirring]

I apologize for the delay.

We're having problems connecting to the outside world.

We believe that our communications system may have been damaged.

So, our chief of security will attempt to repair it.

He will be accompanied by a member of staff,

and they will try to reconnect us.

The expedition will be live-streamed so we can monitor their situation.

Thank you for your patience.

Luca, Cindy,

Try to connect the antenna and transmitter to the junction.

Do not expose yourself to radiation any longer.

240 millisieverts. Radiation continues to rise.

400 millisieverts.

180 degrees.

Come on.

-Come on. -You got it?

It's stuck!

The glove… The railing, it's burning hot!

Luca?!

Luca, do you copy?!

Control?! Minerva?!

Cindy? What's going on?

-[Cindy] Control, you copy?! -Connection failed.

Luca needs help! Someone!

Cindy, I need you to detach his glove carefully, without ripping it.

[Cindy] I can't detach it!

-400 millisieverts. -190 degrees.

Let's try together.

-Easy! Ah! -411 millisieverts. Get outta there!

Minerva?! Control? Control?! Open the outside hatch!

Opening the hatch now.

Julia, let's go get them. Move it!

Yes. Prepare the hazmat suits and the med kits.

[Cindy] Hurry up! C'mon!

[Luca] Control, do you copy me?

My glove got stuck to the handrail.

My hand is burnt. I repeat, my hand is burnt.

[control] Activating decontamination.

[shaky breathing]

[tense music continues]

[Luca] So… the glove melted.

Okay, okay. Relax. Calm down. Look at me.

-[Luca] What's wrong? -[Julia] The seal has broken.

Turn off those cameras!

[Minerva] As you have seen,

conditions outside are extremely difficult.

For the moment, we will remain inside the dome.

We'll make sure you get blankets and some food.

I highly recommend you get some sleep.

[concerned chatter]

[unsettling music playing]

Ladies… and gentlemen…

[laughs]

We did it! They believed everything!
