THE MAN WHO LOVED UFOS
[indistinct conversations echoing]
[instruments continue warming up]
[man] Hey.
- [man] How are you?
- Hey, how's it going?
- Uh-huh, okay.
- [woman] Great.
- Can I have four tickets? Cash.
- And how many people are we expecting?
[orchestra playing
Eygptian-influenced classical music]
- Hi, Jos.
- Hello.
[music becomes more percussive]
[music intensifies]
[choir singing]
[music continues]
[music stops]
- [laughing]
- [all singing] Happy birthday to you!
- Happy birthday to you!
- Aw! Thanks
- Thanks! Aw.
- Happy birthday, dear Moni-Moni
- Happy birthday to you!
- Thanks. Okay.
- Three wishes, here we go.
- [cheering]
- Whoo!
- Yay.
[all continue cheering]
Bravo. Bravo.
[Moni] Who put those numbers here, though?
Who put those numbers?
- [woman 1] Happy birthday!
- [woman 2] Nice! Moni!
- Aw, thanks guys.
- [man 2] Happy birthday, gorgeous!
Aw, thanks! Aw, you guys,
I can't believe you planned this!
Thank you, this was so great!
[women laughing]
Jesus Christ, we're late. Excuse me!
[woman 2] Hi. Oh, Juli,
you were great today.
[Juli] Thank you, we were all great.
[woman laughs]
Wow, you've gotten flexible, huh?
Check you out.
[woman 2 laughs] Yeah,
I'm doing my best, you know?
Hey, don't you work with Pischulichi?
Yeah, I'm doing both jobs this week.
The premieres overlap 'cause
of the scheduling change.
[Jos] Oh.
[woman 5] I raise my leg up in the air.
- Excuse me!
- Sorry.
[woman 6] Excuse me.
- How goes it, Rita?
- Don't even ask.
- Is it that bad? What happened?
- [Rita] It's a zoo.
Well, just take it easy.
[knocking on door]
- [Moni] You did not get me one of these!
- [Jos] What do you think?
Oh, you're making me think
of the days I'd rather forget. [laughs]
I mean, it screamed, "Give me to Moni."
- [tone playing]
- Of course it did. This takes me back.
[laughs]
Enjoy it.
[Moni] You should've seen him freak
when I threatened to quit, you know?
Serves him right for trying to screw me.
He's gotta learn
to start treating me right,
like a lady, a queen,
the star of the show.
[sighs] Oh, man.
I'm the worst with these bad decisions.
Right, Jos? I should make better choices.
[knocking on door]
Sweetie, I don't know what to tell you.
- [woman] Moni.
- Huh? What, baby?
- [woman] These came for you.
- What is it?
Wait, yellow?
No. I don't do yellow. I don't...
In... In theater, yellow is bad luck.
- It'll be fine, it'll be fine.
- No.
- [Moni] No, it won't. I don't know.
- No...
Here, just put them there. I don't know.
[clattering]
[Moni] What did I say? Yellow.
Seeing is believing.
It's crazy.
[Jos] So there's no such thing
as a midlife crisis?
Of course there is,
but I just sped through mine like that.
Because you think about
how you wish you were still young
or how much longer you have left,
how you wish you could just freeze time,
but nobody can,
and then you keep thinking...
It's typical. Every woman
thinks like that when you reach this age.
At some point, the moment arrives,
when you reflect and you say,
"No, girl, don't be stupid.
Live your life."
Life is spectacular, it's magnificent.
And that's exactly what I wanna do.
I wanna live my life.
The truth is, Jos, I have it all.
I feel so privileged.
I have no right to complain.
I guess, at the end of the day,
all I can say is,
I have to be grateful.
Grateful for God, that I
wake up every day and get to do this.
Because He's given me so much.
And I'm so thankful for it.
Well, again, happy birthday.
You look simply divine.
Thank you, Jos.
You know you really are a friend to me.
You've always been such a good friend.
And I know that you have
an amazing season ahead.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Jos. And please give my love
to your many adoring followers.
Bye. [chuckles]
[cameraman] And cut.
[both laughing heartily]
[man] Son of a bitch.
No, you're the...
This asshole's even
crazier than I thought.
- You are completely insane.
- [Moni] I told you so!
- You son of a...
- Get your wallet out. No, three more.
- [Jos] Did you see that?
- What?
[Moni] That's right...
- I think it was a shooting star.
- No.
[Moni] We had a deal, now give it to me.
- No, because...
- [Moni] Oh, please.
[man] Are you gonna back me up, Chango?
[Moni] Don't go running.
You know the deal,
now give me the money, give me the money!
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [arguing continues]
[low rumbling]
[high-pitched buzzing]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[music intensifies]
[grunting]
[Jos gasps]
[Moni] Jos!
- Jos! Jos!
- Jos! Jos!
- Jos!
- Jos!
Jos!
- [Chango] Jos!
- [Moni] Jos! Please!
- [Chango] What's wrong with him?
- [Moni] God, no, Jos, please!
[man] Moni! Take his shoes off!
[Moni] I don't know what to do.
- [man] Take his shoes off!
- [Moni] Do I need to hold him or...
what do I do?
- [Moni] Get his arm out.
- [Chango] Get his coat off.
[Moni] Jos, please. Look at me.
Can you hear me, Jos?
[thunder rumbling]
- Oh, please. Do something.
- [Chango] Just try to hang on. Jos, Jos.
Back off! Back off!
Give him a little space! Give him space!
[music continues]
- [Chango] Jos.
- [Moni] Oh, he's dead.
[Chango] No, no, don't say that.
[music fades]
- [wind whistling]
- [man panting]
[enigmatic music playing]
[panting]
[music intensifies]
[low rumbling]
[gentle music playing]
[groaning softly]
[music fades]
[woman] Doctor?
Can I help you?
- I'm going for a pee, that's all.
- Please lie down, I'll get the bedpan.
[lighter clicking]
[bird chirping]
[footsteps approaching]
[door opening]
- [woman] Pardon me. Is this a bad time?
- [Jos] Ah.
Could we talk to you for a few minutes?
[Jos] Yes, of course, Doctor.
[laughs] No, not "Doctor."
[Jos] Ah.
I have here Pedro Echevarriaza.
He's president of
the Cerro Mining Cooperative.
- [sizzling]
- [yells in pain]
- Son of a bitch! Motherfucking...
- [woman] Are you okay?
- [Jos] Chango! Get over here! Ah!
- [Chango] What?
- Ask for some ointment or something.
- For what?
- I burned myself. Here!
- [Pedro] Wait...
[Jos groaning]
- [Chango] Hang on.
- Come on, come on.
- We still have to talk to him.
- [laughs]
- [Chango] You should've said something!
- I did!
We've been told you are
somebody who likes to cover
current events on the news.
Sure, we cover all kinds of stories.
[woman] Mm-hmm.
Here.
[suspenseful music playing]
People would pay you 25 dollars
a gram for that in Buenos Aires.
[woman] 63 grams.
18 carats.
This gold, so you're saying
this gold comes from where you live?
La Candelaria was at
the pinnacle of its greatness
back in the 1880s
during the gold rush, so...
People flooded in
to mine what they could from our town.
[Jos] And there's
still gold in the mines?
You can still find
small nuggets in the river.
- Mmm.
- Sometimes we get adventurers
who try sneaking
into the old caves from back then.
Some of them find treasures inside
and others never return.
It's a question of fortune.
And when would we go, I mean...
[woman] As soon as possible.
Okay, that's all.
- Now don't walk on it 'til it heals.
- Thanks, Luchi.
Uh, you heard her, I'm stuck in here.
I don't think
that's going to be... an issue.
In fact, we've spoken to
the Medical Director here at the hospital.
They haven't found anything serious.
You're fine.
What? You spoke
to the director? What'd he say?
He said there wasn't anything wrong.
Maybe it was stress, anxiety, tension.
Forty-eight hours under observation here,
then you're good to come with us.
Nothing to worry about.
Stop neglecting your health
and don't drink so much.
Start eating better,
try to get eight hours a night.
- Sure thing.
- [Pedro] The usual stuff.
One last thing, in your segment...
make sure you steer clear
of discussing the gold, understand?
That's the past everyone remembers.
Let's focus on the future.
And the future is?
Well, tourism.
Ah.
So you mean
I'll need to get a little bit creative?
- Yes, sort of.
- And some.
But we have our angle.
Okay, what is it?
Aliens.
[mysterious music playing]
[Luchi] It's time to go.
Come on.
[Chango] All right, Jos.
Let's go, man, come on.
Just give me a second, okay? I'm coming.
[Chango] I got the car ready,
let's get you outta here.
[Jos] How about
one last song for the road?
[Luchi] No, I'm too embarrassed.
What's embarrassing about that?
Just one, please.
- No Jos!
- Oh, you have to. One last time.
Sing Pimpinela for me.
Go on.
[singing "A Esa"]
That's it.
[continues singing in Spanish]
[Chango singing]
[Luchi singing]
That's it!
That's it, you hear that?
[continues singing]
That's it!
[laughing appreciatively]
[continues singing]
Go on!
- Que venga
- Para qu?
[both singing]
[Jos] Did you know, back in the day,
I fought in the Middle East
during the Six-Day War?
[Chango] No, no, I had no idea.
- You ever heard of that war?
- No.
- No.
- In Israel.
No, I had no idea, Jos.
But I wanna know. What was it like?
Oh, well, you know,
it was horrific. Horrible
Like all war is.
No, I'd prefer not to think about it.
But what I'm trying to say to you
is that even there, y'know,
the holiest place on the entire Earth,
according to various religions,
was at the same time,
the bloodiest place on the entire Earth.
If God does exist,
that means he's as vile and vicious
as the rest of the world.
Look, Jos, I'm a believer,
and I think that, for me,
God does everything in his power
to make sure we're okay.
But the truth is that we
always end up complicating things.
Well, yeah, that's what you think.
Chango, I tell you what I think.
You need to get out. Travel a bit.
You know, see the world. Okay? All right?
- Uh, maybe that's what you think.
- You should also read more.
Maybe you should go to hell with that.
- Okay, that's fine.
- How's that?
As I kept wandering,
stranded, all alone in the Sinai Desert,
I had a realization.
An important one.
Okay, so what was it?
I realized that
we're not alone here on this planet.
Are you still angry?
You don't need to be so sensitive.
- Come on.
- It's not that. Stop it.
- I can't say anything around you. Gee.
- Say anything you want.
- But you can be exhausting, Jos.
- Okay! I'm exhausting.
Yeah. You are.
[mysterious music playing]
[music intensifies]
[man] Hey.
LA CANDELARIA HOTEL
[mysterious music continues]
[crickets chirping]
[handbrake creaking]
- [woman] Sir.
- Yes.
Sign here.
Okay.
Don't put your name in there.
At least not now.
- What? How come?
- Put down a nickname or something.
You don't need to put
a name if you don't want.
[Chango] We don't?
Since the reservation was made
by the cooperative, you're fine.
- What do I put down?
- "Cooperative. For two."
- Thanks, I appreciate your discretion.
- For two?
Don't mention it. This is yours.
[tense music playing]
[Chango] That's it. Okay.
Two people, that's us.
- [woman] Great.
- Thanks.
[woman] Of course. This is yours.
I got 13.
Oh. Well.
- [woman] Something wrong?
- [Jos] Hm?
- No, no. No.
- Chango.
All good. What?
Can we switch?
- Gimme it.
- Here.
- Okay.
- Good night.
I'll be staying in room 13,
he'll be in 14.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
[Jos] Thank you.
We're gonna leave really early tomorrow.
Right at sunrise.
They asked me to take you
to Colmena Hill in the morning.
[Jos] Oh! Great, great. Thank you.
Know how to ride a horse?
Me? Oh, I was born and raised in La Pampa.
Perfect. What about you?
Um, no. No.
- No?
- I don't.
Well, you'll learn tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Have a good night.
[Jos] Come on.
[Jos exhaling]
[woman] Are you okay?
[Chango] Yeah, I'm just a little dizzy.
[woman] Just hold on tight
and you'll be fine.
[Chango] And these horses never get angry?
- No, don't worry. They're really calm.
- Seems jumpy.
What's your name?
Elena.
- Elena.
- Yes.
- [chuckling] Tell me, Elenita.
- Yeah?
Do you believe it? That there's, you know...
Yeah. I think so, anyway.
Really?
Yeah, 'cause why else would you be here?
[chuckles]
Look! Look!
Check it out!
- Three condors. That's a good omen.
- [Elena] Really?
- [Chango] Oh, is that so?
- [Jos] Yeah. Very good.
[expectant music playing]
[horse neighing]
[intriguing music playing]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[indistinct chatter]
[Jos] Are you...
Chango, are you seeing this?
- [Chango] I'm definitely seeing it.
- [Jos] It's...
[Chango] I'm seeing it.
- Over here, sir,
- Wait, but...
- I need you behind this line.
- We're here...
- You can't be here.
- But, but we're here to film.
- Do you see the line? It's right there.
- Fine, I have to stay behind the line?
- Jos.
- We're... We're here to film, you know.
- Wait up. I'm a journalist...
- Officer!
- You can let him go through.
- Yes.
All right. Great, thanks!
- [Chango] Jos.
- [Jos] Look at it. Wow!
Give me the mic.
You're the head of the fire department.
What are your thoughts
on the mysterious mark you found?
Do you have a comment about it?
First off, we say "Good morning,",
don't you think?
Absolutely.
A very good morning to you.
But the thing is, everyone is so...
so excited and so eager
to learn more about your discovery.
Well, there's not much to it.
The Altiplano grass here
just burned on top,
and then you can see that
the bottom here is completely intact.
Which is very... unusual.
Right, but would you say
that you could attribute this to...
to some kind of a landing?
And furthermore,
do you think we're talking about
an extraterrestrial phenomenon?
Mmm. No, I don't think
I'd jump to that kind of conclusion.
I wouldn't rule out that these came from
something ordinary, like, I don't know,
an acid or another kind of substance
that has similar characteristics.
But what would motivate someone
to throw acid like that?
Well, I mean, that's what
I'm here to investigate.
You got an idea?
I have this feeling, I don't know,
that they are trying to hide
the truth from all of us here.
And us? Well, we always rely
on the radio to know what's happening.
Because none of us have seen
this kind of thing before.
And, we're just not used
to anything strange here.
No one's ever had to deal with cameras.
And the only thing we want now
is to know what happened.
Well, we followed the tracks,
that's how we found our way up.
We weren't exactly sure
where we were trying to go.
As soon as our horses got closer,
they must've gotten
a whiff of something they didn't like
'cause they wouldn't budge over the hill.
What I've heard
is that your grandson has reported to
have seen an unidentified flying object.
[interviewee] Mmm.
His hair, once black,
is now completely white.
That was the strangest part.
It's fine, though.
His hair., it's... It's fine.
Do you think
we'd be able to speak with him?
Not right now,
because the boy stopped talking to anyone.
I don't know if he's exactly mute,
but he doesn't want to talk.
And are you scared?
Yes, I'd say so, yes.
See, we as humans don't like the unknown,
and, well, this is the unknown.
[Jos] Our mission has been to get as many
first-hand local accounts as possible.
We'll continue our efforts
over the next few days.
This kind of paranormal journalism
may very well be unprecedented
on Argentinian television,
and possibly unprecedented
on a global scale.
We'll go where
no TV special has gone before
It's up to you
to make up your mind on what you see.
Good night.
[suspenseful music playing]
[attendant] Sir, please,
you need to fasten your seatbelt.
- [bell dinging]
- [pilot on PA] Attention, passengers.
We'll be landing at our destination
in approximately 30 minutes.
Please be sure to put
all tray tables away,
secure any personal belongings
you've taken out during the flight,
and return your seats
to their original upright position.
The in-flight crew will be
coming through the aisles shortly
to do their final safety checks.
["Hello Frank" by Sumo playing]
[Jos] Thank you.
- [taxi driver] Have a good day.
- You too.
- Hey there.
- Hi, Jos.
- You guys got a lot going on.
- Jos, how's it going?
- Hey there, man.
- Hey!
Good morning. How are things?
[woman] Hi, Jos. How's it going?
Hello there.
[song continues]
Then you tie on that bandana
And you feel kind of though...
[Jos] You hear that?
Right there. You hear that?
Rewind.
Go back a listen closely.
Hits you with a plastic telephone...
- Hear it?
- Right there?
And she has called you
On that telephone
She has called you
On that telephone
[bell dings]
Your mom said you weren't home
She called you on the telephone
Your mom told me you weren't home
Oh mama, what did you do?
Oh mama, what did you do?
[bell dings]
I'm gonna get blue
I'm gonna cut my throat
I'm gonna smash my head
I'm gonna jump into the lava
I'm gonna lie in bed
Well, anyway, that never happened
Because one day...
[telephone ringing]
Hello, Laila.
- Hey, Jos.
- I'm here to see Sapo.
- He's stuck in a meeting.
- It'll only take a minute.
- You can't go in.
- Don't worry, it's fine.
- Jos, he's gonna yell at me.
- Caro.
- Guille.
- Hey.
I know, and it's going
to take days to do it.
What the fuck are you doing here?
Hey there, Sapo.
I'm so happy to see your face again.
You better have a good excuse
for barging in here.
There's been a strike since midnight,
so the theaters are put on hold.
- I don't have anything to do.
- [Sapo exhales]
What's that?
[man] Well, I didn't
get a good look at it,
see it take off or land
or anything like that.
[Jos] But you did feel a vibration,
and you said you heard...
[man] That's right, yes,
there was a sound, yes.
- [Sapo sighs deeply]
- Yes. And a light too.
[man] I saw something,
almost like a beam of light that faded.
Just like that, it faded away.
[Jos] Incredible.
What in the hell are we looking at here?
The television of the future.
It's got potential,
there's no doubt about it,
but it's total nonsense.
And the minute it gets out,
then there's no coming back from it.
You have gold here, right in front of you,
and you can't see it. This is special.
How long have we been friends?
No, don't try to make this personal.
I don't want a lecture, just stop.
"News Daily, we give you
both sides of the truth."
Who's the one who came up with that?
What exactly are those sides,
the truth and these tall tales?
This isn't a tall tale.
This is... the occult.
What exists, but can't be seen.
What hasn't been proven,
but is believed by everyone.
- What's life without a little mystery?
- No, don't start.
Okay, Alicia. What you think? Tell me.
I think neither of you are wrong.
You're totally right to say no.
It might be nonsense,
that's what journalism manuals tell us.
But if we're bold enough to do it,
and do it right,
it could be explosive.
We're looking into
the hidden side of our reality.
I never lie to our audience,
and that's that.
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
We're not lying to anyone.
It's more like
we're telling a story or a fable.
And it goes on the news?
That's why it's exciting,
'cause it is on the news, Sapo.
Please, you're talking
like we don't know each other, Sapo.
"Please" what? Let's see, talk to me.
It's one thing to tell lies,
and it's another totally different thing
to embellish reality a little, right?
But that's it.
If we do it, it's all or nothing.
- Right, it'd be a huge risk.
- Double or nothing.
Jos, you're the best
entertainment reporter I have.
You're very talented,
you're witty, you're handsome...
I have a career in entertainment,
and for that, I thank you.
But now, at this age,
I'd imagined being somewhere else.
Everyone wishes they were somewhere else
by the time they get to our age.
I don't.
I feel happy right where I am. Sorry.
Come on, look,
you're... a great storyteller.
[typewriter clacking]
But, no.
- Show it to Checho for me.
- No, no, no. No way.
Don't even think of dragging
Checho into this madness.
I think he's gonna like it.
- Let Checho see it, and he can decide.
- Enough, Alicia.
If I approved it,
I'd run it by Checho
so he could have the last word,
but I don't approve it.
Not at all. Are we clear?
[Alicia] There's something here
and you know it.
You're gonna regret it
when some other channel does the piece.
[Sapo] Where is he going?
- [Jos] Hello.
- [woman 1] Hi.
[Jos] Hi, how are you?
- Don't worry, he's expecting me.
- [woman 2] Jos...
Excuse me.
I just need a moment of your time,
Checho, please.
Just one moment.
What's going on?
Barging in like that? Come on, seriously?
Sit down, sit down. Have a seat, Jos.
Okay.
What is it that got you
so riled up like this?
Excuse me. Sorry, excuse me, Checho.
Smoking in my office?
- Come on, put it out.
- Sorry, I'm doing it.
- I always forget.
- Oh, well, I need you to not forget.
- We've got something for you.
- [Checho] Okay.
And I think it could be a huge deal.
Oh, look at you. You're setting me up for
another British invasion?
Everyone now is tired of hearing bad news,
with the economy, and, and,
and all of the, um, political issues.
Sure, sure, sure.
And you're gonna fix this?
No, we have a proposal for you
that's a little different.
Unprecedented for a news broadcast.
[Alicia] As journalists,
what would you say is our primary duty?
Is it to show our viewers only
the mundane and boring aspects of life
until one day
they just stop paying attention to us?
Or, on the opposite...
Maybe it's about time we started
to address the kinds of events
that are truly fantastical.
The things we hope exist
yet never get to see.
Oh...
Okay, I'm a little confused here
as to what's going on.
You say you have
all this brilliant idea for a story here
but I still don't know
what the hell it is.
Opa!
When I banged on the table just then,
you were startled.
That's our idea.
We want to startle our audience.
Question everything.
As the General said,
"Reality is the only truth", right?
Yeah, but he's not alive anymore.
[Checho] Yeah, that's true.
Well, God exists everywhere.
That one's from the Pope.
What does...
Allow me to pose a counterargument:
Have you ever seen Him?
Sometimes I think you're a genius
and sometimes I think you've lost it.
I don't get it. It's a dichotomy,
it's like a contradiction.
I think this will help.
For the very first time,
we'll be capturing,
live on Argentinian television,
I'll say that again,
"for the very first time,"
we're showing you
the landing marks of what appears to be
an unidentified flying object.
As you can tell, Changito,
the mark the craft left
is a perfect circle.
I need to run. I have some work
to finish at the rental agency.
I'll be busy, but if anything
leave me a message
on the answering machine
letting me know what you decided.
- Okay?
- [Jos] Yeah. Will do.
Jos, I was really worried about you.
- Hmm?
- [Jos] Hm.
I'm glad to see you're doing well.
Thank you.
- Okay, have a good show. Hm?
- Thanks.
- Bye.
- Later!
- [kissing]
- [woman] Take care!
[exhaling]
[door closes]
[exclaiming]
[exclaiming]
[make-up woman laughing]
You're such a jerk.
I've barely even heard from you.
I'm sorry sweetheart,
I'll make it up to you.
You can pick dinner.
- What do you want? We'll go anywhere.
- You're such a jerk. Such a jerk.
[mock whimpers]
[woman] Close your eyes.
[Jos] Make me look good, please.
Well, I'm no magician.
But I'll do what I can.
- Oh, don't be mean.
- I'm not mean.
Stupid fucking thing...
Ow, fuck, fuck, fuck!
- [Jos] Don't worry, it's okay.
- Okay. Are you all right?
- I'm fine. I'm fine. No big deal.
- Okay. Don't be so nervous.
- You're gonna be great. Don't worry.
- [Jos] Yeah.
[tense music playing]
[man 1] Come on, get ready,
it's almost showtime, okay?
[knocking]
- You're up next.
- Got it.
[loud buzzing]
Okay, okay, I'm ready.
Good luck.
- Hey.
- [Jos] Hi.
NEWS DAILY
- Hi.
- Hi. Good luck.
[man 2] You know, the only flying saucers
I've ever seen are the ones thrown at me...
whenever I piss off my wife.
Was this really your idea?
You just focus on asking me
all your stupid questions, alright?
And during the interview,
do you think you could make
that idiotic shocked face
you usually do for the camera?
[man] Places! We're ready.
Come on, I know that you wish
you were sitting in this chair.
Be serious for once, Arturo!
Come on, no one even knows who you are.
- [Arturo] That's just great.
- It is.
- Quiet on set!
- [Jos laughs]
Five, four, three, two, one. On air.
ON AIR
Once again, you're watching News Daily.
Today we have Jos De Zer joining us.
Jos, if you could set the scene
for the clip we're about to show.
It's something we've never really seen
on global television before.
[Jos] What I'm going
to share with you today
is a phenomenon I saw with my own eyes.
I recently made a trip to Candelaria,
which is in the province of Crdoba.
And the locals there experienced phenomena
that sounded a lot like
encounters with extra terrestrials.
Jos, are you saying
that there's life on other planets, then?
What you're gonna see is undeniable proof
that demonstrates that alien life exists.
And not only that,
but these extraterrestrials...
they're here, they're already on Earth.
[Arturo] That's quite a story, Jos.
I have to admit, this is a lot to digest.
And I'm pretty sure our viewers
at home are feeling the same way.
[Jos] I understand your skepticism.
I just ask you to keep an open mind
while watching the footage.
I understand that it may be difficult
to imagine that maybe
we're not alone in the universe.
And if that's our fate,
is it possible to cohabitate in harmony
with extraterrestrial beings?
- What a concept.
- Just incredible.
And you, Jos, were you scared?
Yes, we try to work and not think,
but we are afraid.
It's all very strange.
I invite everyone to view the footage
and draw their own conclusions.
I think these images
will speak for themselves.
Let's roll the tape.
[Jos] Look at the orientation
of the male and female horn beetles.
It is unknown to us
if this arrangement is meant to be...
a message or something...
After all, in mythology,
you often read stories
where, uh, the horn beetles,
uh, are a symbol of rebirth
and new beginnings.
Could it be interpreted
as a symbol of rebirth, too?
A rebirth that we are
broadcasting to you live,
for the first time
on television in Argentina,
and possibly the entire world.
Come closer, Changito.
Now these... Wow!
These really defy explanation, don't they?
Come here, Chango.
Let's see if we can get coverage
on the entire circle.
Just look at the shape of this thing.
The shapes...
that, uh, as you can see...
as you can see,
to me, these shapes almost look
pre... prehistoric in quality
and it is just such... just such a privilege
to be able to cover such a unique
and wondrous story here at News Daily.
Are you getting this? Follow me, Chango.
Follow me, Chango.
Follow me, Chango, follow me.
Follow me, Changito, follow me.
[singing "A Partir de Maana"]
[all] No!
[laughing]
[man] Saporitti!
[continues singing]
[both singing]
[crowd clapping along]
You're really telling me
that everything you said today was true?
Of course, it was true, sweetheart.
I'm serious!
When you're on TV,
you find a good angle
to tell your story from.
You have to adjust the details,
you have to embellish things,
recreate things,
to really grab their attention.
But it's all true!
So, they exist then?
- Who is they?
- The extraterrestrials.
I want to know what you think.
I don't think so.
- Okay, then they don't.
- [Sapo laughing]
You're back to La Candelaria
tomorrow afternoon, right?
You know we're absolutely
killing it with the ratings now.
[mysterious music playing]
[people whistling]
- [man 1] Jos!
- [people yelling]
- Jos!
- Hey!
[people yelling]
Recabarren, Recabarren.
De Zer is entering La Candelaria.
[woman] Thank you, Jos!
[mysterious music continues]
[music continues]
[music fades]
[bird chirping]
[grunting]
[man] Hello, Jos.
Oh. Oh, hey.
[coughs]
I heard you were looking for me.
Sorry, do I know you from somewhere?
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
My name is Sixto Jafino.
I'm an engineer investigating
paranormal activity, psychic events...
Ah.
I'm an expert, though,
in extraterrestrial life.
And intraterrestrial life.
Actually, you could say
I'm obsessed with the cosmos.
Jos.
Look at this.
See? That's the penitent tree.
They say it's amazing in person, but...
I don't really get the fuss.
I don't get the fuss. I'm not impressed.
And how about that crane?
So... the fire chief
wouldn't answer the phone.
Well, keep pressing.
I mean, I called him
a couple times but no answer.
Gimme the phone,
I'll deal with him now.
No, look, Jos. He said
he doesn't want anything to do with us.
Is he fucking joking? Well, fuck that.
We'll ask Isadora to get us one.
Hey, Mr. Engineer.
Here's a little proposal.
How about from now on
you start working for me?
What do you say?
[exciting music playing]
- Hey! Jos!
- Hey!
[dog barking]
[laughing] Yeah!
Nice to see you, Father!
- God bless you, my son.
- Thank you for being here, Father.
All right, let's take
this show on the road!
- [woman] Hey!
- Okay, here we go. Looking good, folks!
Hey, did you go to the barbershop?
- Let's see how many you can do!
- Hi, Jos!
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight!
- Bye-bye! Bye.
- [girl giggling]
[music continues]
[music fades]
Ramn suddenly has the hair
of a 75-year-old grandfather,
except he just turned ten.
When did this happen, Rmon?
Well, I had gone down to the creek
to play with my cousin
and a beam of light went flash.
Later on, when I got back home,
my mom looked and saw
that my hair was white.
[Chango] Hey, Jos,
it looks like the boy's melting.
- The dye's running down his head.
- I know. He's covered in it.
Totally covered in it.
- Cut, for the love of God, cut.
- Ooh.
What a disaster.
- [woman] Oh, God, what a mess.
- It's a disaster.
[woman] I know. I told you
it needed more time to dry.
No, that's not it. That's not the issue.
The problem's the kid. Huh?
It's just not convincing.
He's not selling it.
- Jos, what should I do?
- What? Nothing, nothing.
Here, it's yours now. Let's wrap.
We're done for the day. Done.
Shit.
[sighs]
Oh, do I have something on my face? Huh?
Take a picture, it's gonna last longer.
[cow mooing in distance]
[Jos sighs]
[sighs] Okay.
[in Spanish] Inside this cabinet,
there are very important documents
that can destroy you and your people.
[in English] What is it that he does
to convey so much? Arnaldo Andr.
How does he get us to believe it?
I don't know.
Because to him, it's all real.
What was the one moment in all your life,
where you were the most scared?
Think hard, Ramn.
Think hard.
What was it?
There was one time, uh,
me and my cousin
were playing soccer outside my house,
and we kicked a ball
into the neighbor's yard.
And?
And we decided we'd go get the ball back.
But the neighbor had these two Dobermans.
What happened next?
Uh, one of them kinda bit my cousin.
Oh.
And the other one got close to biting me.
Use that.
Bravo, Ramn,
that's exactly what I've been waiting for.
Okay, here, here,
I want you to close your eyes, like that.
Just visualize.
You're there, climbing over the fence,
your cousin's with you...
and that's when you start to hear it,
all the barking of the Dobermans.
And then you start to run,
and you run and you're terrified
because they're going to bite, Ramn.
Ramn, open your eyes.
Now, hold on.
The next time I put you on camera,
when I question you about
the night you saw the aliens
and your hair turned white,
you'll answer exactly the same.
But while you're talking to me,
you will be visualizing
the Dobermans on the night
they attacked both of you.
When you ran for your life
as fast as you could.
They've already bitten your cousin,
and you could be next.
Woof. Woof! Woof! Woof!
Understand?
Yeah.
[ring bell dinging]
[Sapo] I think it's crazy.
The answer is no.
[Jos] Why not?
[Sapo] You already
have everything you need.
People like it like that!
It feels rustic, you know?
Hold on. is it really
that hard to get me a giant crane?
Oh, give me a break, Jos.
You know how expensive it is
to ship a crane all that way?
But wait, we could get more than
50 rating points if you get me one.
But we'd be shipping
to a town out in the hills,
or did you forget that?
Why don't you relax for a bit?
Everything's going smoothly.
Besides, what on Earth
are you gonna do with a crane anyway?
But what do you mean?
How is this not clear as day?
Just think.
The camera looks down from the sky.
It'll be magic.
It'll be like seeing what the aliens see.
Well, that's great and all, but we
don't have that kind of budget here.
So, I don't know, figure it out,
climb a ladder, okay? That's it.
[doorbell buzzing]
[doorbell buzzing]
I'm coming!
All right, I've got an advance
on Martina's expenses this year,
plus what I owe you, and a little more.
There's a lot of money in here.
- Thank you.
- When are you moving?
I don't know, but now our landlady
wants another 15% that I don't have,
I'm not sure.
Maybe until things calm down, we lay low.
Yeah, if that ever happens.
Don't be such a pessimist, Jos.
Do you like it?
Ooh. Wow, that's cool.
You can have it.
Oh... for me?
It's beautiful. Wow.
- That's so sweet.
- [doorbell buzzing]
Can you get the door? I bet it's Chango.
[classical music playing on TV]
- [Martina] Hi.
- [Chango] Hi there.
[Martina] My dad's just
getting his stuff ready.
- Okay, great.
- Hi, Chango.
I'm gonna need your help later.
- With what?
- It could get complicated.
[Chango] Okay. Whatever you need.
Thank you.
I made you an appointment with
Dr. Domenech in half an hour.
- What?
- You'll still make it.
Please tell me you're joking.
Chango told me
everything that you got up to
when you were away to Crdoba.
I know you're just going to tell
me that you're doing your job,
that you're telling people
what they want to hear...
but honestly,
you're sounding pretty crazy, Jos.
[Jos] I've never been better in my life!
Why can't you see that?
What I see is that you're completely
off your rocker again!
I don't need Domenech,
you don't have to worry,
I'm perfectly fine on my own!
Well, if you're so fine,
then you have nothing to be worried about.
- [bangs]
- [gasps]
Jos! I never miss you on TV.
You're my favorite! Can I touch you?
[Jos] No, no, no, I've gotta get going.
Keep your hands to your...
Ma'am, please.
- I was contacted, the aliens.
- Leave us alone, please! Drive!
What's the matter, Jos?
Seriously, man, what's the big deal?
Go on. Just go, it's for your own good.
I'm sorry, but just how long have
you three been co-conspiring against me?
I want to know.
You need to go to your appointment. Okay?
Now go inside.
[man] Get your fresh fruit here!
Fresh fruit and vegetables! Apples! Pears!
Seriously, I'm fine, I'm fine.
It's just that
I'm experiencing things I can't explain.
And what do you mean by that?
Let me ask you a question,
but please answer me like a friend.
Do you believe it's possible
that there is life on other planets?
I'd say it would be unlikely, but...
But it is possible.
Sure, it's possible. I'd say that.
Right.
Look, I think you might be
trying to connect all of this
to what happened to you
in the Sinai Desert.
- They're connected.
- No, no, no. I'm saying it's unrelated.
You were marooned
for 12 hours all by yourself,
in temperatures of over 100 degrees,
right in the middle of a war.
Under those conditions,
I'm surprised you don't think
you had tea with King Tut, too.
- Are you taking your medication?
- Yes.
- Did you take them yesterday?
- Yeah!
- You're sure?
- I'm sure.
[somber mysterious music playing]
[music continues]
[spits]
[music continues]
[Jos] That's all I can sign for today.
- [clamoring]
- I know, I'm sorry, that's all for now.
- Thank you.
- Sorry, everyone, try another day.
[woman] Jos! We believe you, Jos!
Guti, come here.
Here's the new plan.
From now on, we're gonna
handle absolutely everything ourselves.
Those network guys,
they can all go to hell.
We don't need them.
You'll keep on doing whatever
I ask you to do around here,
and then we'll send
the bills to Buenos Aires.
Okay.
- Understand?
- I got it, yeah.
Well, then, as of today,
you're my executive producer.
Does that sound alright?
- Yeah, Guti!
- How 'bout it?
- Sure, sounds great.
- Perfect, and here's your first job.
All right, what?
A kilo of vitello tonnato, without capers.
- Ah, got it. Consider it done.
- I need to treat myself.
Pochito, get me
some vitello tonnato, no capers.
[Pochito] What?
You can go tell Baca
to get it for you, okay?
- Oh, Guti.
- Yeah?
We were supposed to get
a crane for the aerial shots,
but that fell through last-minute,
so we'll need a helicopter.
- Ah. A helicopter...
- Yes, a helicopter. Excuse me.
I like your painting.
- Look at that, huh?
- [Elena] It's nice.
[Jos] It's beautiful.
Really cool. What is it?
They told me to draw it.
- Oh yeah?
- Mmm.
- They told you?
- Yes.
Right.
[Jos chuckles]
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay, let's do a little bit more.
Just a touch up...
No, not right now, give me a minute.
He'll be back,
just give him a few minutes.
It's nice to see you here.
- I thought you'd left us.
- I'll always be there, Jos. Always.
So tell me, what you think of all this?
I'm starting to feel like a phony here.
No, you're not a phony.
Try to go easy on yourself, Jos.
I think there's a lesson
for me in all this.
Listen up.
What you're doing here is transcendental.
It's important.
You're going to go beyond
every single known limit, Jos.
All of them. Got me?
- [chuckles]
- Come on.
[music continues]
- Hey, Jos.
- What?
I'm so glad you're here.
No one pays attention to me.
Five of our guys left.
[Jos] Don't worry, don't worry.
They're very slow.
When you see them, you'll see.
- Take a look.
- What's going on?
- [worker] How's it going, Jos?
- What's going on?
[worker] We're trying to...
[Chango] Like that, that, yeah.
It needs to be like a dome.
Like a dome, it should be curved.
Make it a dome, like a dome.
Like that, perfect.
[Jos flapping lips]
Bah!
[Jos] Did you see it? Was it big?
Uh, yes, yeah,
all the folks who saw it talked about it...
They said what they saw had lights.
That they blinked on and blinked off.
Like flickering.
Were they scared?
Yeah, they were scared, yes.
Everyone said they were.
[goat bleating]
[bleating]
[bleating continues]
We keep hearing the goats.
[bleating]
This has to stop. Guti, figure it out.
[aggressive bleating]
Guti.
Otherwise, they're going to be in
the shot, so we need to figure out what...
Let's use it then, Chango.
What a sweet animal.
They feel everything; they know.
Get me a new one.
- [Elena] A new goat?
- No, another wom... Another...
- [Elena] Another woman.
- It's casting. It's casting.
This is Dolores.
- Look, this way. Right here.
- Hello, Dolores.
How are you?
Did you hear the sounds
and the noises that these
unidentified flying objects produced?
Yes, I heard when
I walked past, there was...
I heard this noise,
it almost a breeze or the wind...
[blowing] Like that.
More or less.
- Could you...
- [bleating]
Could you repeat that, please?
We're experiencing some technical issues.
- Sure, uh, yeah.
- Repeat that last thing you said for me.
Of course. Yeah, uh, in the cave, yes.
- I mean, in the caves there, that's, uh...
- [bleating]
Oh, come on you guys!
Please!
[goat bleating]
[rooster crowing]
[goats bleating]
[loud bleating]
Did you lose your vision
after you saw
the unidentified flying object?
No, I don't think I saw
anything like that.
Have you seen it?
No, I haven't seen it.
- I don't know.
- Please, say you've seen it.
Okay, yes I saw it.
- I can't remember when...
- [laughs]
[Chango] Let's go back and do it
one more time. Okay, Jos?
- Can we go one more time, ma'am?
- Again?
Jos needs a minute,
then we'll go again. Is that all right?
What's happening?
Come on now. Bring the next one.
That's all we had.
They all went already, Jos.
Fine. You do it.
- Me?
- [Jos] Yes.
- [Jos] Practice your lines.
- Sure.
[Elena] Okay.
You'll do fine.
- Here?
- No, but you have to change first.
- Yes.
- [Chango] Oh God...
[laughs] This is insane.
No one here knows what to do.
- [Chango] They've never done this before.
- And?
Do you really think these
drawings that were found
could have actually come
from a higher civilization?
Yes, I do. No doubt about it.
Because for us, they've always been here.
"For us, they've always been here."
All right. If you could, Chango,
help us out.
Would you mind
killing the lights on your camera?
- [Chango] Okay.
- Let's have a look here.
When they told us about this place,
they said we might find inscriptions here.
Oh! No! No, no, this is...
Look at this, Changito, please.
Incredible. Are you seeing this?
It looks like a mask,
with eyes, a mouth, and a tongue.
It's incredible.
But this shape right here...
it could also be depicting
an unidentified flying object!
This is live television.
We're here, here working for you.
Covering this 24 hours a day.
- [clattering]
- It's very clear that they...
- Look out!
- [rubble falling]
[Jos] Cut! Cut, Chango!
[Jos] For fuck's sake!
Turn the camera off. Go! Go!
Cut! Cut! Damn it! Chango! Cut!
- Jos! Wait!
- What happened here?
What the hell happened?
- We need to know what went wrong!
- It could collapse.
Get out!
We can't afford for this kind
of thing to happen anymore!
Okay, we'll work on it,
we'll discuss it with them later!
You had one thing to get right!
One thing! Is that so hard?
You had one job!
My God, you're all imbeciles!
You're all morons!
Jos! Calm down!
Calm down? I won't!
Attention! Lighting any kind of fire
in an urban area is strictly forbidden.
- Municipal ordinance number 179.
- No, no, no, no, no.
There'll be no more warnings.
Next time I'll kick you out of town, Jos.
Call the mayor. You can't do this to us.
He gave us permission to film here.
You can't do this!
- No!
- [all yelling]
[Chango] Hey! We have
equipment here that can't get wet!
You can't just spray water on everything!
Stop! Cover the camera! Quick!
[Jos] You're fucking crazy!
Don't do this!
- Knock it off, c'mon!
- Asshole!
No!
[screaming]
[object breaking]
[grunting]
[yelling]
[Chango] Jos.
Everything's gonna be okay...
Look what I brought you.
Vitello tonnato. Your favorite.
[door closing]
Do you want it, or not?
'Cause if you don't,
I can have Elenita take it away.
[Jos] Listen.
Do you think that I am...
What? A hustler?
I already know that's true.
[chuckles]
That's not the question.
Then what?
Do you think that I am...
Do you...
think I'm crazy?
Everyone out there,
everyone thinks that I've lost it.
No. No, no one thinks that, Jos. No one.
- Now...
- Chango.
- What I know...
- Tell the truth. Be honest.
Yeah, this is the truth.
Look, the only thing
I know for sure, Jos, is that you're...
you're a good guy.
All right? A really good person.
And if you are a lunatic,
you're a lovely one.
Well, I'm glad I'm not a nasty one.
- Hey.
- Mm?
Chango, there's something here.
I feel it.
The force that brought us,
had us come here.
You know?
And whether it's extraterrestrials,
destiny or...
something else,
there is an energy.
Some kind of higher power.
Yeah. Are you becoming a believer like me?
We're all here
to achieve something exciting.
It doesn't matter if they criticize us
or don't believe in me,
or in all of us.
Right here, in Candelaria,
it's our mission
to look for and find the truth.
Our truth.
Every single one of us must look for it
within ourselves, and find it.
And this experience here
will stay with us for our whole lives!
So let's get started!
[all clapping]
All right everyone, get to work!
Do what you know,
like my grandma always used to say to me!
- [laughs]
- [all cheering]
[all chanting]
Jos! Jos! Jos! Jos! Jos! Jos! Jos!
[chanting continues]
[cheering]
- Hi.
- How's it going?
Hey!
- [woman] Hi, Jos.
- Oh, hello there.
May I get an autograph for my daughter?
Of course.
What's the lovely young lady's name?
[girl] Guillermina.
- Guillermina.
- [woman] We love you.
- Ah, thank you. Guille...
- Come on, let's go.
- I'm signing this. Wait a second.
- We need to get out of here now.
And, there we are. Bye now.
- Thank you.
- Oh, of course.
- Why are you in such a hurry?
- I don't want them to see you.
Cause your dad's famous or what?
Do they tease you?
No, that's not it.
You know what they call you?
- What?
- Karadagian.
Why?
Because everything you do is fake,
it's just like the wrestling
in all of those shows.
Ah. What little shits! So whiny.
Listen, I love what I do. Are you ashamed?
I'm fine, can we just
please talk about something else?
- [driver] Hello. Hop in.
- Hey there.
- Ready to go?
- Yes.
QUIEJOS, WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU
[Moni] What can I say
that hasn't been said?
He's the man currently smashing
Argentinian television ratings,
the whole country stops to watch his work,
then everyone can't stop talking about it,
- How you doing?
- [Moni] About his mysterious
and, at times, blood-curdling stories...
It's true!
We talk about him everywhere we go.
At home, at school,
at work, on the street.
He's the man from another planet,
and I think that everyone
already knows who it is, all right?
It's Mister Jos de Zer!
[audience applauding]
- Hello, sweetheart.
- Thank you for having me, Moni.
Jos, I'm gonna ask you to do something,
and you said you can't say no to anything,
that means you can't say no.
- Mm-hmm.
- Here's what I want.
I want you to describe the two of us
sitting here in our bubble bath,
like it was one of your stories,
with that wonderful voice you do.
No, I don't know if I can.
- I'm not on the mountain.
- This is better than the mountain.
Moni, don't ask me to do this.
You said you'd jump in
without a second thought.
Please, I'm begging you. Don't make me.
- What?
- I'll never hear the end of it.
No, we'll make you an even bigger idol.
Don't even think, Jos, just talk.
Well, here we are,
for the first time ever...
For the first time,
the cameras of News Daily are,
I repeat, for the first time ever,
they are in Moni's bathtub.
Oh, Jos, I love it, honey!
And the first surprise
we notice sitting in our bath is that
the foam has a particularity to it.
Yeah?
- And the bubbles, look at this.
- Oh my God.
Are you seeing this, Chango?
- Here, look at this.
- [laughing] Chango!
This is amazing, it's sensational.
Truly incredible. And...
And what's even more
remarkable about this,
Is that, all of a sudden,
the water has disappeared.
Jos.
It has to be a strange
special kind of foam,
That makes water disappear.
Notice how I'm holding this microphone.
- No!
- I'm going-I'm going to submerge it.
I'll push it in deep.
And I'll pull it out.
- You see that?
- [laughing] Jos!
- It's completely dry. Touch it.
- No.
- Please, look. See the microphone?
- Don't. Stop!
Are you getting this on camera, Changito?
- My God, Jos!
- [cheering]
You just gave away every single
one of our production tricks.
The whole team backstage is furious.
- How could you do this to me?
- You wanted it.
- To get back at me, right?
- You asked.
- That was payback, Jos.
- Well.
You were amazing.
Oh, Jos, you make me so happy.
[audience cheering]
[Spanish pop song playing]
[both moaning]
[Moni laughing]
[song continues]
[song continues on car speakers]
Jos.
Don't do that. Keep your head inside.
- Because?
- Because it's dangerous.
What's gonna hurt me out there?
Something could hit you in the face.
You know, like a rock or a bird.
And the last thing we need
is a bunch of these crazy nutjobs
trying to settle here
and live in our town. Hmm?
Headcases. Ufologists. Sects.
Okay, but putting this place on the map,
like you said you wanted,
would mean I need decent airtime.
Our best chance
is four or five more weeks.
- Nah. No.
- Uh, no.
No.
We honestly believe
that just one more piece will do it.
Just one.
Then we'll finally get
the impact we've been looking for.
Fine.
Let's do exactly the way you want, then.
You know why?
Because I love you.
Huh.
What was that...
that one game the kids
were all playing a few years ago?
I wouldn't know about that.
They're tiki-taka, see.
Two balls like that attached by a string.
They can bounce off each other.
Tiki-taka, tiki-taka, tiki-taka.
Kids went mad for them.
The manufacturer made a killing.
And guess what?
Now, kids don't know what tiki-takas are.
What happened?
Kids got bored?
The execs got cocky
and quit advertising on TV.
What do you need?
The support of all the townspeople.
A lot of people here
really disagree with you on all of this.
- Please, give me a month.
- It's too much.
A month.
Give me just one more month
and I promise you that
the land in Candelaria
will be worth a fortune then.
Okay.
I'm gonna talk to Levitch.
- The others... you let me deal with them.
- Got it.
You have three more weeks. Not a day more.
- Three more weeks.
- Mm-hmm.
Not a day more.
How did you do it?
Do what?
The...
The burned spot of grass on the hill.
How'd you do it?
We didn't do anything.
[mysterious music playing]
[wind whistling]
[telephone ringing]
Talk to me. What is it, what do you need?
[Martina] I need you to get me evidence.
Evidence? Okay. Of what?
- Of the extraterrestrials.
- Ah.
All right, we'll see. I intend to.
A photo of one, at least.
You want a photo?
Phew. It's tricky with a photo.
They'll probably think it's just a fake.
I think we need something else right?
Well, I dunno.
I can't think of anything, but...
like an object or clothing, or...
I dunno, a piece of evidence
that's gonna get everyone to shut up.
So, do you think you can do me that favor?
Yes. Yeah, yeah, of course,
but what's wrong?
Did something happen to you?
- Huh? What happened?
- No. Nothing,
- What?
- Just typical stuff.
When I'm at school,
the kids like to call me names
and keep singing all these nasty songs.
Oh my goodness, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Don't worry about it. I'm fine, Dad.
But do you believe me?
Do you believe me or not?
Just come up with something creative,
and I'll take care of everything else.
Right now we're trying to make our way up...
the final remaining meters
to reach the summit of Colmena Hill.
Where are they?
[Guti on TV] Keep going, keep going.
You got this. You got this.
Come on, come on.
[Jos panting on TV]
[Guti] Be careful, come on.
[dog barking]
[Jos on TV] These last meters
are proving to be the most difficult.
Actually...
you see our tents there behind us.
News Daily tents.
One of the craziest
journalistic adventures,
and most unique adventures, of all time.
Follow me, Changito.
Did you witness any of these sightings?
We saw a white light.
[Jos] What was it like?
It was large and round.
They say that it's
the center of attention and attraction
for these unidentified flying objects.
- [band playing happy music]
- [woman laughing]
We've officially hit the big time!
Our little town
was featured on nationwide news!
[all cheering]
[music continues]
[woman laughing]
Thank you, this is great.
Thank you so much.
[woman whooping]
[music continues]
[man] Hey! Way to go, Chango!
Ho! Here we go.
[people clapping along to music]
[music fades]
[music fades]
[tense music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[music intensifies]
[thunder rumbling]
I feel...
I don't know,
I feel very strange at the moment.
Almost like I'm acting as a vector,
a bridge.
But looking at it all...
is this the way it should be?
The way you've chosen
to get these words out
is a bit extravagant, no?
But there's truth in the message.
A truth not everyone wants to hear.
The truth that we're not alone.
[thunder cracking]
[lightning crashing]
[thunder rumbling]
[tense music playing]
[lightning crashing]
[static buzzing]
Come in. Come in, South Group.
South Group.
All these mountains
are full of great mystery.
It's all just part of
their marvelous nature.
Come in, South Group.
Come in.
Can you hear me, Guti?
South group, come in.
Can you hear me, Guti?
Guti!
Guti!
Guti!
["Extindete Que Me Encontrars"

You did it! Guti!
Guti!
Oh-ho! You did it, Guti!
Ah!
[song continues]
[all cheering]
[song continues]
[song stops]
Let's drink to Mother Earth.
Cceres, a little bit for you, too.
No, no, thank you.
- Come on.
- No. No, thank you.
- Thank you. Really, I can't.
- Okay.
- Changito.
- No.
- Aw, Chango.
- No, no, I don't want it.
- For God's sake, Jos, I said no.
- [sighs]
[breathing heavily]
All right, so Chango's getting ready now.
Seeing the burn mark from up here,
we might be able to better understand
what exactly the alien pilot saw
while maneuvering its craft.
We're probably dealing with
an intelligence greater
than anything known.
It's something nobody here
on Earth can understand,
at least not for now.
There is the burn mark.
Down there. Look down there.
Over to our left.
It's enormous, just enormous.
It's unbelievable.
What was that?
[mysterious music playing]
[Cceres] Where? What?
You... You didn't see that thing
zoom right past us? Huh?
There.
It just passed us!
Point us over there!
Point us there, take us over there!
There.
There.
Ah!
[laughs]
- Did you see that, Chango?
- [Chango] Yeah, yeah!
- I saw it over there. I can't believe it!
- [Jos] Neither can I!
[mysterious music continues]
- Jos.
- [Jos] What?
Let me see your face.
What's wrong?
A light is flickering right in
the middle of your forehead.
Right here?
[metal creaking]
- [rumbling]
- [Jos and Chango yelling]
- [Jos laughing]
- Ah!
[Chango] Come on! Please, come on!
- [Jos] Whoa!
- [Chango screaming]
The controls aren't responding!
Nothing is working!
- Jos, I'm gonna kill you!
- [Cceres] We have to land here!
I want out, please, God!
- Relax! I'm trying my best to land!
- You have to be a better pilot than this!
[suspenseful music playing]
[Jos] Our helicopter
had a technical defect
and we had to make an emergency landing.
But look,
we were meant to find this.
It brought us to one of the many
tunnels in the Colmena Mine.
DANGER OF COLLAPSE
DO NOT ENTER
Curious adventurers used to come here
from all over the world in search of gold,
many years ago.
Now, the mine sits abandoned.
But these tunnels take us straight down
deep inside the heart of the mountain.
Discovering this place was no accident.
So that's it, we've decided.
We're going in.
Armed with our cameras and curiosity,
we're going to try to decode
the message
they've sent us.
"No trespassing."
Let's move this out of the way.
[Chango] Careful, careful.
[Jos grunting]
[exhales]
[Chango] Wait until I turn on the light.
- I can't see anything.
- Okay.
- We finally found the perfect cave.
- [Chango] Yeah
But let's not go too far, Jos.
This place looks dangerous.
I'm going in.
But do what you want.
Coming?
Come on.
Look at this cave.
[Chango] Please, don't be
so stubborn, Jos. Please, let's go.
There's something there. Don't you see it?
What's over there, Chango? We have to see.
- Jesus, there's nothing there. Let's go.
- I swear there's something back there.
There!
- Right there. Come on.
- [Chango] Careful.
[Jos panting]
We'll keep going...
very... carefully.
And try... [yelps]
- [Chango] Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- All right, I think this is enough, Jos.
- Come here.
Look.
You can already start to see the remnants
of all the old mine cart tracks.
- And here...
- Let's stop here, Jos. Right?
[Jos] We're going deeper,
deep into the very mysterious heart
of the Colmena mountain.
Just like the old miners,
we're going to see
if we can find anything.
But, unlike the miners,
we aren't looking for any gold, no.
Other treasures.
Maybe...
we can find a clue that helps us
contact beings from another galaxy!
- Ah! What the...
- [rumbling]
[Chango] Hey, Jos. Listen to me.
I'm hearing some rumbling.
- Let's get out.
- That was weird.
What?
- Let's go! I keep hearing rumbling!
- Please, shut up! Stop!
Chango! Didn't you see
I was doing my lead here?
- And it was coming out pretty great too!
- We already have a ton of footage, Jos.
- But I need more!
- What else do you want?
- Leave me alone!
- That's enough! Come on, let's go.
[rumbling]
Be careful, Chango!
- Come on Jos! Let's go!
- We have to try!
- This is far enough, Jos!
- Look at these.
Shut up!
- Damn it, Jos, I'll drag you out!
- Shh!
- [shushing]
- Come on, Jos!
Jos! It's dangerous!
It's moving and creaking. Let's go.
Let me see...
It's steady, totally steady.
There's nothing wrong.
- [creaking]
- [Jos screams]
[Chango] No! Jos! Jos!
- [rocks clattering]
- [Chango coughing]
No, no, no! Oh God no!
Are you okay?
[Chango wheezing]
[Jos groaning]
[Chango] Jos!
Jos!
My friend! Say something!
[Jos moaning]
Ah, Jos!
Talk to me, man!
Help me, Chango!
[Jos groaning, coughing]
- [rumbling]
- Chango!
[Chango] Hang in there.
I'm gonna go get help.
Hang in there, buddy, hang in there!
[panting]
[siren wailing]
- It's a dangerous collapse zone.
- But...
- You need to stay back.
- I already know that!
- Get me some answers!
- Keep him away from here!
My partner's in there!
- It's collapsing! Get out!
- Get out! Everybody out.
[Cceres] Come back, come back!
Let me through!
Stay away, it's collapsing!
Just stay back! Stay back!
- We're working!
- My partner's in there!
[Chango] I know you're working!
But my partner is in there alone!
[rumbling]
[woman] As of today,
Jos is still stuck inside...
[overlapping reporting]
[Arturo on TV] We sincerely thank
the security forces for granting us
exclusive access to this location,
knowing that it's our colleague
who is involved in the disaster.
Come here, Chango, come here, come here.
Tell us, what made
you and Jos go inside the mine?
Well, signs from an alien craft
forced our helicopter down at the mine.
Of course, we investigated.
Uh... evidently,
my friend earned their trust
for contact with them.
I want to state clearly,
especially for all the non-believers
Jos is risking his life for this,
and for this he deserves...
the respectful gratitude
from all of us and from all humanity.
It's seeing it to believe it.
Look at this, the amount of people,
the firefighters getting
ready to go into the mine.
And look, a patrol car
is pulling up right now.
Its lights are flashing. But I...
I can't... I can't quite
make out who's in there.
Now, reporters are starting
to crowd around
they're surrounding the police vehicle.
This crowd is full of experts,
neighbors, and onlookers alike.
That's Roxi. She's Jos's wife. Oh.
And there with her is Marti, his daughter.
The whole country is paralyzed.
Chango.
[Arturo] Just waiting for a miracle,
for Jos to come out alive.
- Let's check in.
- Okay. So, we're going in.
So you must stay relaxed as we go.
Can you stand back there with them?
- [Arturo] Roxi and Marti...
- All set, boss!
...have been asked to leave the area.
Recovery team ready.
[Arturo] The firefighters are
preparing to enter the mine.
[chief] Listen up. We are a team.
[Arturo] They're doing some sort
of ritual lead by the fire chief.
And there they go.
I'm here with Roxi and Martina,
Jos's beautiful wife and child.
- Ex-wife, please.
- [Arturo] Sorry, his ex. His ex-wife.
Roxi, is there hope?
There must always be hope, no?
[Arturo] Of course, of course, of course.
Come, come, Marti.
We've known you
since you were little, Marti, look.
All of the people, the camera...
Look at the camera.
What would you say to all these people?
[dirt falling]
[breathing shakily]
[rumbling]
[mysterious music playing]
[laughing]
[mysterious music continues]
What?
Did I do anything bad, engineer?
What do they say?
Do they still trust me?
They're very pleased with you, Jos.
Actually, I don't want
to give you any misguided hope, but...
they want you to visit their world.
When can I see?
Soon.
They're very grateful to you too,
because you succeeded, Jos.
You shared their message with the people.
Here.
This is for you.
[chief] Clear the area.
Easy...
Stop there and make a base for me.
Help me.
Jos, can you hear me?
[Jos] I'm here,
I'm here.
- [cheif] Hang in there, Jos.
- Yes.
[chief] We'll get you out of there.
He's alive!
- [firemen] He's alive!
- Hang on, Jos.
We found him! He's alive!
He's alive.
Someone's coming.
He's been found. He's alive.
[officer] They found him! He's alive!
[crowd cheering]
Oh, yes! Yes! Yes!
Ha-ha!
- A-ha!
- Be happy, Marti.
[man] Oh yes!
[crowd cheering]
The whole country's playing this.
We're in the lead.
[laughs]
We're making history here.
What was the most watched
broadcast before, Checho?
Muhammad Ali versus Bonavena, 1970,
with eighty ratings points was our record.
And I think Jos's got even more.
[Checho] Do you think we'll hit 100?
Yes, I think so.
[Checho] He's a genius.
The man is a genius.
I always said it.
[newscast continues indistinctly]
[sobs]
[man 1] There.
[chief] Outside team!
Get the ambulance ready!
[man 1] Careful! C'mon!
[man 2] Be careful up there, slow down.
- Come on, keep going!
- Come on, guys!
[men grunting]
[crowd cheering]
[woman] Jos!
[chief] Almost there, Jos.
[woman] We love you!
Whoo! Thank you!
He's alive!
- [crowd continues cheering]
- [man] He's safe!
[woman] Jos!
[woman] We love you!
- Jos!
- Changito.
- I'm so happy you're okay.
- Listen Changito...
[Chango] Stop, that's his daughter.
Wait just a moment.
My love, come, come now.
Please, this is for you. Keep it.
They're coming to get me soon. Okay?
- Who?
- Them.
- Listen. Don't you hear them?
- I don't hear anything. Who are "they?"
The... the Sinai people.
The ones from Sinai.
They're coming to... to get me.
But I want you to stay here with me.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't leave, Dad.
It's not my decision, my love.
- Stop speaking, Jos. Save your strength.
- Let's go!
[Jos] It's not up to me.
Listen. Look at the stars.
Just know you'll see it.
I'm gonna send you a signal, my love.
Wait, Dad! Dad!
I trust you.
[Jos chuckles]
Thank you, my love!
[man] Jos!

[static buzzing]
[Jos in Spanish] Underneath the mountain,
down in the caves,
we almost had the certainty
that two of those
unidentified flying objects
had landed on one of the hills
in the mountain.
[emotional music playing]
How fantastic and unsettling
at the same time
is this journalistic investigation
that we're conducting here
before the cameras for the first time.
What is this, Pochi? Don't tell me it's...
[Pochi] It could be, yes.
[Jos] No.
How lucky. What a coincidence.
Chango!
We found it.
I told you I had a hunch
that we would find it, huh?
[music continues]
I'm sorry, I can't...
I'm very moved.
Cut for a minute, until I can...
until I can process the shock of this.
If you run your hand
across this marking here,
which is a perfect circle...
It seems like it was made by a landing.
It's not that it came from above,
but it landed here.
Right here is where, 46 or 47 hours ago,
we witnessed the landing
of an unidentified flying object.
The air is a warm kind of air.
The rocks are...
they're strange.
Because of...
Look. Look, Juan Carlos.
Look, Chango.
Hold it.
Look.
This is how it looks.
They're almost all along the entire path.
We'll try to bring one
back to Buenos Aires.
Jos, at times this is terrifying.
It is terrifying, and like I said before,
there are times when you can't work.
You sort of lose sight
of what you're doing,
what you're working on.
We're going in
through the main opening
of one of the caverns.
They say... Watch out for the wires.
They say there was
a lost civilization here.
There's the top,
which is a triangle, and here's a rocket.
Up there...
It covers virtually the whole cave.
As mysterious
as this mountain is,
it is also magnificently natural.
South Team calling. South Team calling.
[man] Yes, Jos.
We're keeping an eye out here.
[Jos] We've reached the peak of Uritorco,
where we have
the two tents of Nuevediario,
and where we're going to have
a journalistic adventure
that will be one-of-a-kind
on Argentinian TV.
You can see the two of them.
The two ships.
One is moving towards us.
Now the two of them are.
We're now seeing it.
Chango, are you seeing this?
It's spectacular.
There they are. They're coming.
It's spectacular.
