All language subtitles for [ARG] Moebius(1996).DVDRIP.X

This is the first film product of the
Superior School of Cinema of Buenos Aires.

It's objective is essentially pedagogic. The
young students. More than looking for

a job hope, they go thru the main door to
arrive to the magical and

wonderful movie making world.

The subway is without a doubt,

a symbol of these times.

A labyrinth where in silence
we cross each other,

without knowing who nor
where they're going.

Hundreds of routes,

on which we take advantage to establish
a balance, to re-look a situation,

and try to ride more than a train,

a change of life...

It's a strange game,

on which we submerge ourselves
in infinite tunnels

without realizing that in each
transfer

we're definitively changing
our destiny

With the subway I found the most
powerful machine to look,

but I've never imagined what will
happen to me in the near future.

MOEBIUS

Attention garage!
This is Bolivar!

Copy me, garage!

Can someone answer me?!

This is garage, Bolivar, I copy you.

I received a call from "Plaza Italia", we're late
and with overflow. Send another "comboy"!

You copied that?

I've sent everything, Bolivar.

What do you mean everything?

I sent the last car a while ago,
I have nothing here... huh.

What?! That can't be.
You should have more trains!

You should have at least one more.

- I have nothing!
- Well, okay. I'll see where I can find another one.

But you check your list. You may be having one
more in your sector, and you haven't noticed.

Understood?

Listen Bolivar, I repeat, I have nothing
to check in here.

Why are you telling me that? Do you know you're
talking to your boss, dammit!? Understood!

"Route 2"

Yes, this is Juan Vega.

I don't understand.

What did you lost?

- Now what?
- And we keep on going straight?

Straight to the right, or
straight to the left

If you don't pay attention, we'll stay
here all night.

- Which way should I take, boss?
- Well... can't you see we can't move?

Well, if it's because of the lights,
we ain't going no where

Besides, there are a lot out of order

What you talking about?

Hello? Please put me through the CEO

Sir?

Vega, I hope you have a good reason to
made me come down here.

I was expecting you.

You can't imagine how well
I feel here, Pratt.

Taking some fresh air.

I can't stand the closed feeling of the office

I feel like taking one of these routes and never
coming back to this city, that why I make them

If I ask to any of the architects this, they'll
think I just gave up.

And I...

I don't want to go back top the subway thing
just because some nut got the idea.

This work for me is done.

Yes but I, I don't know how can I help you.
I didn't participate in this project,

and I'm not even an architect.

I don't need an architect.

Besides, no one wants to go back
down there, it's very hot.

I called you 'cause I know you like problems.
In fact, you dedicated yourself to math, isn't it?

- Topology
- Ah! The fascination for the analysis of surfaces,

one formula, one calculation
and you keep it in a book.

It seems to weird to me... Like those expositions
that CEO of the subway does... that Blazi.

Go and see what is happening to him.
That way I can be more calmed.

Maybe you'll find that crazy nut interesting.

Although I doubt it, Anyways, I don't want to
tire you more. When we finished the perimetral

construction, everything was okay and we were
done. Now they have flaws.

One more thing, just in case... The original
planes are in the public works archive.

Ours are an identical copy from
those approved a year ago.

But that's just a detail, actually I
don't know what they want.

But if it's Blazi, it can be
just about anything.

Anyways, please don't look
for me for nothing

- What's that for?
- I don't know

They told me it potentials the perception.

Resolve it.

Oh! And tell Blazi I went far, far away,
by the highway.

I assure you we're doing what we can.

But you can imagine that I cannot look thru
all the network for just a supposition.

Well, you know how the kids are,
they just love the subway.

Ma'am, 5 million people pass by
here everyday.

I'm sorry, it's your responsibility.
If you don't know where he is, it's your problem.

- Mr. Blazi, someone of the construction arrived
- Let him in...

Yes ma'am, I understand,
huh... excuse me ma'am...

You know... I have things to do, ma'am.

Come in!

- Sir...
- Daniel Brat.

Excuse my amazement, but I was
expecting my old friend Beker.

He might arrive later, 'cause
I told him I needed him

No, you see, Mr. Beker had to leave town in
a hurry, and asked me to replace him.

He might be nuts, as if this
is just bullshit...

I asked him not lo leave
me alone in this

He gave me all the instructions, so I can
resolve anything you might need.

How would you help me if you don't have
the slightest idea of what's this all about?

He should have called

Beker, thinks these are beginners stuff

I'm topologist, a mathematician.

What is that good for?

It's a branch of mathematics which studies
surfaces and converts them into formulas.

So useful for my nerves.
This is it! ...look go to the office and tell...

Mr. Blazi

What's going on today that
nobody asks permission?!

It's happening again...

Come.

I need you to pay attention.

I want you to look everything that's going on,
so you can tell Beker this isn't bullshit.

If I called him is not because I'm hysteric,
but I have a reason to call him.

Of course, I'm going to ask you have caution
and discretion with everything you hear or see.

Don't go around telling anyone,
you know how this is...

Then, anything can be published at the
newspaper and find myself implicated in nothing.

Imagine that, a man like me cannot
neglect those details.

What? That one doesn't work either?
Fix it at once.

Millions of people are being transported in these tunnels daily, you cannot control everyone.

Look, if someone plants a bomb. What face
do you want us to put, huh?

Everything that happens here
inside is my responsibility.

Imagine that being the CEO of this place isn't easy.
This is a very difficult situation.

Sir, we have train 101 coming from Ezeiza,
stopped at the access tunnel.

I already gave it the passing order. It's blocking
two levels and they refuse to go on.

Communication open to 101.

Intern 101, this is the CEO.

What's going on that you refuse to advance?

From red it went to green and from green
it went to red, I cannot take that risk,

How do I know there's no other train
coming from the other side?

The pass is blocked.

That's a negative, 101. The pass is free.

Yes, no sir, but you know it's forbidden.
If we crash...

Advance 101, I repeat,
the pass is free

- But listen to me, I don't...
- Keep on going, I order you!

- I can't...
- Move!

If this keeps on like that, we will be forced 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.

31, 32, 33, 34...

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 2 topological spaces

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?

- Mr. Blassi
- What took you so long, Prad?

This girl is with you?

I'm sorry I couldn't come before.

It was impossible for me

But I think what's this all about

Are these the ministry's plan?

What happened?

I hope you know what you'll say

The train is still gone

And I don't want to have more
problems than I already do.

Now come with me.

Here, I leave you this so you play
whilst I speak to these people.

Okay.

Exactly, we checked everything and...
- Gentlemen

Mr. Daniel Prad.

Representing studio Del Plata.

They built the perimetral connection

Mr. Kent, our Engineer Chief

Mr. Aguirre, representing intendancy

Dr. Canotti from the central military hospital.

Dr. Nazar from del Sur insurance co.

And our driver... Edmundo

Please try to specify.

You saw it, or not?

Well yes, I mean... we practically saw it

When we found that red light

Just at the entrance of the General Paz joint

Couldn't that be another train?

All trains have been retired from the tracks.

Except this one... We are the only ones we've

traveling thru the system
during the last four hours

When Edmundo stopped in
front of the red light

I thought it was out of order.

That's why I told him to keep on going

That's when we heard the noise

the other train was doing
whilst crossing the joint.

- You saw it?
- No, no, we couldn't see it.

The light is just before the curve

But... we all heard it.

Why didn't you followed it?

Well... we were not sure about
where it went to.

It was there, we cannot be wrong about it.

That was at 1:38, wasn't it?

- Yes, the first time.
- The first.

Gentlemen, this chat is going nowhere.

So, later it happened again

Yes, but not in the same place

We found another red signal
near the joint

Yesterday at 2:15

Then, again at 3:30

You saw the train at 2:15?

No, we didn't but we felt
the vibration

So, I tried to reach it, but...

It must have turn somewhere else
at the General Paz joint

'Cause there's a declivity beyond the light

It's impossible that that train was

circulating during all these days

Without no one noticing

What's impossible is that you

are surprised being the main responsible

- Now in the moment that...
- Wait a second, young man.

We aren't here to hear
questions, but to make'em

This time we've got it.

It's passing by the inferior level
where Maloni is

You saw it? It's passed near by.

- It passed by the lower level
- Not, the higher one

- No! It passed by the lower level
- What is going on, Blassi?

You saw it by yourself, it passed down here,
am I right?

- Yes, yes, yes.

You really saw it?

We heard it, it passed by the upper level

And I think in that direction.

Maloni, go back downstairs.

Excuse me

Tell the authorities I'll be right there.

Engineer, Is there any way to communicate

- to the Main office?
- Yes, yes, come with me.

Mr. Blassi says he's coming
in a moment.

Main office, this is Kent, it's urgent.

Please inform what is sector fours reading.

The consumption is equal to standard lighting.

In tunnels and stations, plus an intern rolling

Please specify consumption.

Everything's normal boss, we only have

you rolling.

Cut the main electricity provision.

until I tell you.

Done, boss. Now, what do we do?

Watch the monitors and warn me if
you see any change.

This is nuts, we've been transiting
only in one wagon

- That's too much consumption.
- What's going on, Blassi?

We have indications of a train
transiting by the system.

When will we know the circuit
has been interrupted?

I don't know, maybe it's just a flight

Yes of course, the flight of a train
inside the system.

Now we're going to check it

Restore the electricity

Now there's consumption
at various sectors.

Did you authorized this maneuver?

Different zones at the network
are registering that

Probably those are unhooked wagons around.

Can you please explain
us what's going on?

Gentlemen, I think the young man
has something to tell us.

We have a disappeared train

with people.

But the system is closed

Trains cannot go out.

86 is at the system.

What are you saying?

All the system was checked and
It's not here, what do you think...

that we're playing to 'hide the train'?

Shut up Dr. Nazar. Let him
finish his explanation.

We know the train was going to
the Plaza de Mayo station.

The morning of the 4th... but we
also know it never arrived.

Such a novelty, Prad.

And when it entered the tunnel that
crosses Maldonado river...

it transformed into a boat and now's
sailing to Africa.

Excuse me, Dr.

How can you explain a train can..

be running wild around the tracks
since March 4th until today

without being seen for almost 5 days?

That's exactly like that engineer.

Is that this train cannot be seen.

This train... Intern 86

Without showing any kind of
mechanical failure

With the whole network working

With other 300 trains around

Somewhere during its route

just vanished

Somehow it found a node...

A node! What is 'a node'?

The system that keeps the track clean

In those, nothing else but trains circulate

I still don't understand.

A node is not an obstruction

In topology...

a node is a particularity

A pole of superior order

I don't understand anything.

And I think nobody else does.

Dr. Nazar, please don't complicate
things even more

I think this was caused by a new branch

And what does the perimetral
has to do with all this?

The system is a network with an
amazing topological

complexity, you'll see from the
latest extension.

But the perimetral must have done something

absolutely singular.

I still don't understand very well.

But I believe that the new branch has taken

the connectivity of the whole system

to an order so high

that I don't know how to calculate it.

I think it has made it to infinity.

If it's like that gentlemen, we can deduce

that the system behaves as
a Moebius belt.

May I?

If you look this paper, you'll find out that

This is a simple two faced belt,

but if we join both extremes...

like this, we obtain a very
particular belt.

It's a one faced belt.

on which we could circulate
endlessly

But this...

Translated to a subway network,

must have an infinite number of particularities.

Could you imagine what can the properties
of a network like this could be?

I can't either.

To tell you the truth...

The structure of the whole perimetral
system, is way beyond

my reach.

I can't do anything but suppositions.

This is outrageous.

We have 200 kilometers of tunnels

How can it be that a finite surface

Can convert into an infinite one?

That's a good question

But anyways it happened. It happened.

Do you have any idea about the passengers?

None.

Hold on a minute, Prad.

If what's making this whole confusion

is the perimetral, first we close it.

and then, if things are like you say

We can keep on with our normal operations.

Without collision danger.

If you close the perimetral, the train will never reappear

What is not certain

is that when it appears...

it will be translating itself
to the right direction.

And in that case...

An accident may be possible.

Mr. Blassi, how many people
do you think are in that train?

Well, I think between 30 or 40 people.

Hey Prad, you want us to believe that

the train has jumped to another dimension,

that it's actually not inside the system

that it's gone, isn't that true?

It's a way to say it.

And this peculiar behavior

has been produced by certain mathematical

properties associated to the
new perimetral joint?

Exactly

And is there anything we could
do to bring the train back

to this dimension?

I don't know.

Is this the possible explanation?

You're a lame.

Is this the result of your study?

Do you have any other idea?

It's a disgrace you've got no one

that can give us a coherent explanation.

Prad, one question. To avoid
the possibility of collision...

Can't we leave the perimetral
joint open?

But without the train to pass by it.

So that if the train from above appears

Couldn't crash with another train

That wouldn't be an useful protection

'Cause now with the new joint

The whole network has an infinite
connectivity

Hey Mr. Mathematician!

Do you think you made me
a favor in this subject?

I don't want to see you here,
do you understand!?

Mr. Blassi, Mr. Blassi

I found this girl at the first level
walking by the tracks

Where are we heading to now?

Nowhere, besides you
must go back home.

Someone may be looking for you

What! Now to my home?

Just now?

Come, we may ride it!

No, you go if you want.
I need to stay here for a while.

Your attention please

We would like to let the people know

That there are only 3 more
train boardings. Thank you.

To all passengers.

We'd like to inform you that
we have suspended

The service due to line flaws.

We're sorry for any inconvenience
this might have to you. Thank you.

You had trouble arriving, didn't you?

Dr. Mistein

Calm down. I know you've got
a lot of questions to ask.

We're traveling at an impossible speed

A simple track change.

The train crossed a joint after a curve

The just combination

At the right moment

To apply the properties of a Moebius belt

Invented the perfect machine

That's blasphemy, son.

Man has invented numerous machines

But he forgets he is himself a machine

Much more complicated than any
machine no one has ever built.

There will be no limits now.

There never were.

Man doesn't know neither his limits
nor his possibilities.

He doesn't even know 'till what
point he knows himself.

But of course, we are so busy trying to find

external values

that we don't care what really matters

But this is important

I should say it and everything
would just change

But you said it!

You explained it perfectly

Today I passed by the Park Station

And was able to look at you while

you were trying to explain Moebius theory

But, has someone believed you?

No...

But they'll believe you

No, I would have used the same
words you used.

I would have said the truth

What happens is that we live in a word

where no one listens, my dear Prad.

What do you plan to do with it?

- Nothing.
- What do you mean "nothing"?

Don't worry Prad.

The moment will arrive.

Don't they understand what's going on?

They... they will never awake

Before finding out that they are asleep

What are you afraid of Prad?

Vertigo.

That's normal

No one can face the infinite without
feeling vertigo

No one can experiment it without
feeling a deep disagreement

If we're moving at the speed of thought

How can someone be charmed of this life

without attractiveness,
ingenuity or spontaneity

Why shouldn't I prefer to stay here
in the shadows

If out there is a sea of deafness

That is taking us to be
irremediably ungrateful.

It can't be possible that all this gets lost

Stay here in our souls

Sir, sir, sir.

The train was here
already when we arrived.

How much time since it's here?

I don't know, we asked to the guarding
personnel, and they know nothing about it either.

Sir... what do we do?

Wait, wait here.

And Blassi, so much trouble and
the train was here?

Moebius

Take it to the garage and
let's forget about this matter.

Understood?

Nothing has happened here.

I never imagined what will
happen to me

As soon as I reached the 86, I found
my old professor

Tired of repeating the same story

Tired of fighting and speaking 'till death
just to be ignored

And in that precise moment, I felt
he was putting his time in my hands.

It's not difficult to understand why
I decided to follow his steps

In this no return trip

Before trying to lose my time trying
to explain to a group of fools

Something they don't wish to understand

Anyhow, the old man was right

We live in a word where
nobody listens anymore

Hello? Yes? What? I don't understand,
are you sure about what you're telling me?

Lost... what was lost?

Mr. CEO, Mr. CEO...
