Original subtitles

It's $2.30

With the sandwiches or without?

With the sandwiches. Total.

Okay. That's fine, thank you.

Bye, thank you.

Silvia.

Come here a second.

It's not sure yet, but I don't know what will happen in the future.

I wanted to tell you as soon as possible, so if you need to look for something else...

Just know you can arrive later, or have all the interviews you need.

It's fine, but I can wait, madam. I don't have trouble.

We have been doing the math with my husband, and we are struggling a lot.

Plus, we already owe you two months. We are very embarrassed about it.

Good morning.

Any news?

One minute, I will call my husband.

So?

Are you going to accept my invitation to go out with me or no?

No?

Hi, how are you?

If you are doing as good as I can see...

- I don't have any troubles. - Listen...

I don't want you to take this the wrong way. I don't do this to provoke you.

I hope you can understand.

Listen, I simply don't... don't have anything to give you.

We sell less and less. It's not that I don't want, I just can't.

To give money to you, I have to stop feeding my children.

What is it?

He said he won't collaborate.

I said I can't collaborate.

Well, man, there's no problem.

The collaboration is voluntary anyways.

Any problem you have, don't doubt calling us.

See you.

[POLICE]

Suarez.

This is for Crucitti. They sent from Warnes.

What happened?

I was on a nightclub, dancing with a girl...

...and supposedly the boyfriend and one of her friends....

[CHIEF DIEGO CRUCITTI]

Lucas gave this to me.

From the car dealership.

And this morning, we went by the shops on the avenue.

The one that didn't pay is the dude from the bakery.

He seemed honest.

He said he doesn't have money.

- When did they come to ask for money? - The day before yesterday.

They went by my deli before.

I gave them $80, that's all I had. Ask my daughter.

That's the problem! If you pay, you make us all pay!

How am I not? Look at what happens if you don't!

- Are you sure it's them? - Who is it going to be?

If you don't pay next week, you will see how they mess up your hair salon.

If you excuse me a second...

I'm a worker, I don't have a business.

So this problem doesn't directly affect me.

But I know a group of people that might be able to help you.

This won't be solved with hooligans, Maresca.

What are you saying?

Why do you have to insult me?

You know I don't have hooligan friends.

The people I'm talking about doesn't have anything to do with violence.

Eh?

They are extremely intelligent people.

You go to them and tell them your problem...

...and they will know how to fix it.

[Douglas Jones - English teacher]

[In 1994 The Pretenders helped him on a sexual harassment trial from a student]

- Mariela. - The post office is next to the rail roads.

Yes, that's very very correct.

Well, what we're gonna do now, we are gonna sing the song "Honesty".

We're gonna start from the left to the right...

and we're all gonna sing the middle part together, okay?

- Okay. - Okay, here it goes.

[Honesty by Billy Joel Plays]

You sing.

If you search for tenderness

It isn't hard to find

You can have the love you need to live

But if you look for truthfulness You might just as well be blind

[RAVENNA Characterization]

It always seems to be so hard to give

Yes, good. Now I want you all to sing together.

Honesty is such a lonely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty is hardly ever heard

And mostly what I need from you

Hang on, hang on.

I know that sound.

Hello?

Yes, I'm on my way.

Excuse me.

Okay, man, I know. Goodbye and say hi to your friends, okay?

- Good evening. - Bye.

Yes, Mariela?

What was that sound?

It was just a job call.

Nothing but a job call, okay?

Yeah?

I'm on my way.

[LAMPONNE Technique and mobility]

[Don't Worry Baby by The Beach Boys plays]

Hello.

[MEDINA Investigation]

Yes, I'm on my way.

Who knows that Paraguayan guy? What if he robs us?

No, he's a missionary and he buys bread from me every morning.

This isn't the area of Casa Amarilla.

Yes, this is Casa Amarilla.

Over here, people.

as far as you are concerned, in a week, ten days tops,

neither chief Crucitti nor any of his collaborators will ask you for money again.

However...

Throughout three months, you will still gather that money to pay for the operative.

[SANTOS Logistics and planning]

Chief Diego Crucitti.

59 years old. Married. No children.

He joined the federal police in 1975.

He was a traffic officer, inspector, primary officer,

homicide detective, and deputy commissioner.

And he has been a major chief for five years in police station number 23.

He's part of all the shady businesses in his district.

Prostitution.

At first, he used to charge prostitutes a price to let them work.

Now he has four working for him.

Trafficking.

He has four trucks that bring stuff from Paraguay across the triple frontier.

Every two months he leaves a police car out of circulation.

After that, he paints it and uses them as taxi cars on a company he owns

and that he opened under his uncle's name.

Marcelo Paz and El Gallego Suarez are his right hand.

They do what Crucitti tells them to do.

They could buy their houses, cars, and provide their families thanks to him.

Achilles heel?

I cut his antenna and entered his house as a cable operator.

Crucitti can't stand his wife anymore.

He arrives very late everyday so he doesn't have to see her.

Looking though his library I found something that might be useful.

Crucitti has all Carl Sagan's books.

And the full Cosmos series on video tape.

He has been quite obsessed with extraterrestrial life and UFOs.

He has some pictures of him on Cape Canaveral and on the Uritorco mountain.

[Context: Uritorco is a mountain in Córdoba province, where many tourists said they had seen UFOs]

I researched all the database referred to these magazines.

Curcitti had been subscribed to magazine Other Constellations until 1989.

Betwen '82 and '85, to the bimonthly publication "SETI".

Acronym for "Busqueda De Inteligencia Extraterrestre".

"Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence"

Lastly.

I entered the NASA Special Operations website.

It's the division that investigated UFOs along with the armed forces

under the Blue Book project, propelling the Phoenix project.

In 1974, Crucitti sent a letter asking for a job offer for this division.

When he was rejected, he entered the police department.

It could be far-fetched, right?

Yes, if it is well done.

[POLICE]

And the lock was forced?

There was no forced lock.

But all the doors were open.

Listen, I'm not crazy, I already told you.

All my house doors were open.

My fridge fuses, burned.

I also have an auto repair shop, and all the batteries from the cars were uncharged.

They busted all the windows.

I ask you...

Could you send a police car, yes or no?

Because someone has entered my house.

I want you to find him so he takes responsibility for the damage.

Was something inside your house missing?

No, nothing was missing in the house.

Why would robbers enter and not take anything?

I didn't tell you it was robbers, I told you I arrived home,

and the glasses were busted,

my electrical appliances burned,

and all my house doors opened.

And the car batteries uncharged.

Is there a reason someone might have done this to you?

Not that I know of.

Are you sure you don't have an enemy, someone you owe money to...

Someone you repaired their car poorly?

No, I deal with that stuff perfectly.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Are you the owner of this property?

Yes, why?

Could I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah.

Look...

We know...

No, no, no trouble.

Get out, guys!

They said they have to search round the property cause they found an electromagnetic discharge or something.

All the way.

Excuse me, chief.

Officer Garrida wants to talk to you.

- Yes. - Look, chief.

I'm here with my partner checking on a report.

And there's people here who want to enter the property to do an appraisal.

People? Which people?

They say they are from the FBI.

No, no.

No one does an appraisal, no one enters the property, officer.

I'm on my way.

Who are you?

- What are you doing here? - I don't understand you, man.

You have to talk to the man in charge, okay?

Here, here. I speak Spanish.

[Thriller by Michael Jackson plays]

What is this?

Who are you?

Excuse me, let me introduce myself. I'm Maximo Cozzetti.

There's people from FBI and the armed forces.

I work for the NASA.

And you are?

Crucitti, officer Diego Crucitti.

What's going on?

It's a common appraisal, that's all.

All these people are authorized to work in the country.

An appraisal for what? What are you looking for?

Sadly, I can't discuss that with you. It's confidential.

You know what? There's a police report in between,

and the chief is responsible for this sec--

I don't want to interfere with your work, but I need to know what's going on.

As soon as we have the results of the appraisal, we will contact you

- and let you know everything. - Look...

Although you have an authorization to work in the country,

this jurisdiction is mine.

And no one has informed me anything.

Okay.

Wait here a sec.

[All Night Long by Lionel Richie plays]

It's alright, chief.

We free you, we are leaving.

Come on guys. Let's go, we have nothing to do here.

Excuse me.

Come on, come on.

I thought we had agreed on something.

Look, we don't want to go over you, but...

...you can't stop us from doing this job.

I told you, I don't want to bother you, but I need an explanation.

What did you say was your name?

Diego Crucitti.

Come to the van with me, Diego.

Sit down, please.

- Coffee? - No, thanks.

Donuts?

- No. - Well...

Chief, I want to tell you beforehand...

that we never intended to minimize your authority...

or transgress the legal procedures you are rightfully complaining about.

But you are no fool, that's why you are a chief.

And you can then sense that the case we are dealing with is very important and confidential.

Mr. Cozzetti...

Máximo.

Máximo.

I understand perfectly.

That's why I ask you to trust me.

Is it a VR or a CE?

Let's see, what's an VR and a CE?

Man, please, I'm not stupid.

An VR is a Visual Radar.

Direct sighting.

A CE is a Close Encounter.

There's three kinds.

Close Encounters of the first kind. Direct sighting.

Of the second kind, that comprehends direct sighting and verification of footprints.

and of the third kind, which is contact with an alien.

What was it here?

Look...

So far, it wasn't anything, and it probably won't be anything.

- And why does NASA send a crew to Buenos Aires, then? - To investigate.

Very well.

To investigate what?

Common appraisal, I already told you.

Excuse me, sir. There was another one like ten minutes ago.

Where?

About twenty miles from here.

- Are you coming with us? - Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Listen, chief...

- I got to go, so please... - Where?

It doesn't matter.

Listen, I can't let you keep going like this. I am a chief.

I need to know everything.

You are overstepping the line.

Let us operate, please.

- I am begging you. - Then let me go with you.

You have me in favor of you... or against.

And given he's the chief, he manages the whole area.

I think...

...he would do us a favor, and would be useful...

...to have him as link.

Knowing it's not allowed, of course, but in this case...

...I put my word on him.

Very well, Cozzetti. If you think it's fine.

- Go ahead. - Okay.

Very well.

Well, Crucitti.

Let me tell you the situation.

My superiors are getting a bit unsettled about your presence here.

And even though you had threatened us with making it hard for us to proceed with our operatives,

it is also true we know how to flatten the ground.

- I don't want to make it hard for you. - Let me finish! It is true!

A call from my president to yours asking for help is enough.

And I say yours cause... I've been living in North Dakota for ten years.

Listen...

Let me finish. Listen to what I'll say.

Let me tell you why we didn't inform you.

We don't have a link in the country.

And we don't, not because there aren't capable people, there actually is.

But, for the FBI, Argentina is part of the 10 less trustworthy countries in the world.

Just what you hear.

Your people, your leaders...

Your tendencies to corruption, oppression, lies...

...easy money, inequality...

...etcetera, etcetera.

Listen, I only want to know what it is you are doing here.

Are you from the Blue Book project?

Let me finish, please, Crucitti.

What I mean is that we are going to examine a farm 20 miles from here.

After that, we have to do some other errands.

It would be good to have a local link, especially if they know the area.

Great! You can count on me.

Yes, but it's not that easy. First, you need to become an FC.

- What's an FC? - A Colaborador Foráneo.

Foreign Collaborator.

You would be an attached member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the NASA.

Stand up, please.

Through this act, Mr. Diego Alejandro Crucitti, born on April 7th, 1945, Argentina,

takes services as foreign collaborator along with the Feral Bureau of Investigation and the NASA.

Do you swear to never disclose the information gained while lending your services?

Yes, I swear.

Do you swear to not be or even have been involved in illegitimate and illicit actions?

Yes, I swear.

Do you swear to not use or have used power for your own benefit?

Yes, I swear.

Not committing or having committed any acts against the homeland on the charge you represent?

Yes, I swear.

Especial agent in charge, Dr. Máximo Cozzetti, American,

File number 20111960

Scientist bound with the Phoenix project, meeting point.

Do you swear on the American flag to know Mr. Diego Armando Crucitti,

currently postulated to be a foreign collaborator?

Yes, I swear.

Do you swear to take responsibility for his entry to the forces?

Yes, I swear.

At the risk of losing your job and all the salary benefits you and your family perceive?

I repeat, I swear.

In the face of any irregularities in the new foreign collaborator's behavior?

Yes, I swear.

Please, sign here.

You too, here, Cozzetti.

Here, a gift, as a memento.

Welcome to the mission.

- Thank you. - Show him.

Come, Crucitti. I will let you know everything you ever wanted to.

Douglas.

Could you make me a tea, please?

Yes, Santos.

Hey, what you did for me is priceless.

Don't worry, I'll take responsibility.

Behind this door are the answers to a lot of the questions you ever had.

There's a before and an after this moment. Excuse me.

You mentioned the Blue Book project.

And you were not wrong, Crucitti.

All the alien contact investigation projects have been officially shut down many years ago.

Officially.

Common people believe the government gave up on UFO investigation long ago.

But we remain active under the Phoenix project,

which is a secret project to search for space signals.

To explore, understand and explain...

...the nature, origin and distribution of life in our universe.

It's the direct successor of the ambitious project NASA SETI

which searched for intelligent life around stars similar to the sun

to an approximate distance of 200 light years.

The congress, on 1993, abolished SETI.

Made people believe it didn't operate anymore, you know why?

Because the results were positive.

- It means... - It means,

that the 28th of October of 1988, signals were detected

coming from the direction that corresponds to the star Epsilon Eridani.

Three years ago, we found out that these signals came from a bigger object.

Of titanic dimensions.

That had penetrated our solar system at a speed of 9000 km/h.

For the way that it moves...

...we are convinced on a 90%

that it is run by an intelligent form of life.

It doesn't respect gravity nor centrifugal force.

It exerts voluntary movements.

In January of 2000, a soviet satellite radar detected...

...that from this major object...

...a minor particle was detached.

A minor object.

From 25 to 50 centimeters in diameter.

NASA established an elliptic trajectory of the object.

That trajectory coincides with our plane.

Since then, electromagnetic discharges occur periodically in different sectors of the globe.

The effects are similar to what you so at the farm and in the house.

And the points of effect follow a pattern.

Gentlemen...

The spiral is closing in.

This is a time and space diagram...

...made by the places and dates where these discharges have happened.

What does this mean?

Help us lift the map.

As precisely as possible.

According to our specialists...

The geometry of the spiral closes at this point.

It would be the last point.

- It's the delta. - Exactly.

At 23:52 of next Wednesday, we will receive that small object.

What is that object?

There are many theories, but few answers.

We suppose it was a break down from the mother ship.

Some ejected piece.

Maybe it's a sensor the future visitors are sending to see what's happening in the planet.

Or a message for earthlings. Or a bomb.

Or the very same Pandora's box.

We really don't know.

Nonetheless, it's the peak of years and years of investigation.

And we believe it can give us...

...the point and date...

...in which this major object contacts us.

How long have you been on the department?

On the department 12. On Phoenix project, 4.

You must have seen so many things.

More than you can imagine.

But I will tell you something.

Despite having such an intense life...

...one realizes there are still things to do.

Get married, for example.

I always wanted to know what it feels like to be with a single woman all my life.

A true nightmare, I can assure you.

I heard that.

I heard.

But the temptation of having a common, normal life...

It's exhausting to be traveling all the time, all around the world.

Going to bed with different girls...

Solving the biggest problems of the world.

I can assure you. It's tiring.

Can I ask you a sort of discreet question?

I know it's...

...confidential information.

But I always wanted to know.

- Tell me, Crucitti. - The Roswell incident.

A screen for president Eisenhower.

I would have swore it was real.

The real cases...

...are in a very strict secrecy. You will learn them.

And Area 51?

Shut down.

Only for military tests. No UFOs.

What kind of tests?

And the Bermuda triangle?

What happened with flight 19?

Navigation error.

Alright, alright...

But they never found the plane.

Fuck you, Crucitti.

Hey.

There are two girls looking at you.

- Hey. - Hey, how are you?

Come.

You come.

- You come. - Let's go.

- Do you want to? - Yes.

Let's go, then.

- If you have faith in yourself, Crucitti. - You know...

- The best way to approach a project is with faith. - Of course.

- Hello. - Hello, how are you?

All good?

Neil Armstrong.

Osvaldo Kenobi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

No, I'm Carlos and he's Jorge.

And what do you do?

We work.

We are accountants.

Accountants!

No, actually, he's an accountant and I'm a notary.

And what are you from each other?

Good friends.

Intimate.

Actually...

...he's my younger brother.

[Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra plays]

Tonight, we won't be able to go home with you.

Ah, no.

Really?

What a pity.

But it's because of...

- ...a very important matter. - Very important!

- Very important. - But...

- Extremely important. - Well...

Well, it's fine.

You are a good gal, Crucitti.

You too, you too.

You're great!

- Good afternoon, Crucitti. How are you? - Very well.

You look tired. Did you sleep well?

Very well, very well!

Shall I help with something?

- Help the guys. - Of course.

As you can see here, the object is coming towards us at approximately 100 miles per hour.

Yeah.

Please, sir. Come outside.

Is something wrong?

Douglas, the riffle.

From now on, you are officially no longer part of the mission.

You don't belong as a special agent in charge of the department,

neither the NASA, the Phoenix project, nor the UFOCAT database.

It's a federal crime to give away information you know might be crucial for our government,

and constitution, sir.

Follow me, please.

Mr. Crucitti, follow me please.

From this moment and now, you are officially disassociated from the mission.

You don't belong as a foreign collaborator for the FBI

nthe NASA, the Phoenix project nor the UFOCAT database.

We remind you it's a federal crime to give away information that might be crucial for our government

But why?

What happened?

Is this you?

Whenever a foreign collaborator joins, we investigate them.

The department already had information on you.

From other criminal cases.

Corruption, and such.

But you don't have anything to do with me.

I endorsed you.

It's not just corruption.

The inform also states that your district is the less efficient of all the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

The most poorly lighted, full of holes on roads...

...and I recommended you for an elite group.

But there must be...

...some way to fix this!

They are from the FBI. They are not Argentinians.

But you...

You don't have anything to do!

Leave me alone for a while.

It's not your fault.

No one made me endorse you.

I take responsibility.

Impact time?

Two minutes, sir.

Listen...

I need to speak with you.

We have nothing else to talk about.

Once we reach land, we won't cross paths again.

No, look...

Everything the inform says is true.

I'm crooked.

I have generated and participated... on terrible things.

But you... you are not perfect either.

You also have corruption, illegal stuff.

Illegal managements.

Or are you going to forget about Watergate?

Or Kennedy, what happened to him? Who killed him?

And Enron? What happened there?

What happened to Enron?

And the guy...

...is not involved, the guy...

He didn't know absolutely anything.

You can't sacrifice him.

He's a good fellow.

I don't want to justify myself, I only ask you...

...to give me a second chance.

I...

I...

I used to have a life...

...that sucked.

It was a disaster.

I was permanently frustrated.

But if you give me a second chance...

...I know I can do things the right way.

Because now I have...

I have a reason to do things right!

I do now! I can be one of you here in Argentina!

I can...

...do trackings, I can...

...when I find something weird, I can...

I can inform you everything!

Evidence I find!

Anything, I can...

I can transmit it to you.

Because I know they are coming.

I always knew.

And now, with you here, are proving me that it is true.

You are confirming it!

Please, for the love of god!

Trust me!

Diving team, please.

- Do you read me? - Loud and clear.

I think we found it.

Be careful. We don't know what we can find.

We are very close.

There's visual contact, gentlemen.

I don't know how to describe it.

It's luminous.

It's luminous!

You got it?

Did you see it?

Thanks to the collaboration of Mr. Diego Crucitti to the mission "Meeting Point",

this division has decided to reincorporate him as tentative foreign collaborator

and will be under observation for a lapse of seven years.

This division has decided to overturn charges against especial agent Máximo Cozzetti

after accepting his ignorance about Mr. Crucitti's criminal conduct.

Cozzetti will also be under observation for a lapse of seven years.

Lapse in which he will not be able to endorse any new foreign collaborators.

Excuse me...

Do you mind if I see it?

It's organic.

But what is it?

We don't know.

Maybe it's part of the spaceship.

And the object is probably investigating us more than we are investigating it.

Tomorrow, we will take it to Area 51.

I hope we will be able to tell date and hour of the lading of the mother ship.

Wasn't Area 51 shut down?

Well, Crucitti...

We will reach you.

In a month or so...

...we will start new studies.

In the outskirts.

We will contact you so you organize our stay.

Thanks for everything.

It was a true pleasure.

True pleasure.

Good afternoon.

- Hello. - Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

I'm not sure you know me, my name is Diego Crucitti.

I'm the chief from police station 23.

I'm here to tell you there will be some changes.

First of all, I will start reaching the neighbors directly.

I know there were some anomalies...

...and I wanted to apologize personally.

From tomorrow, there will be an officer every two blocks, day and night.

They will guarantee you security unconditionally.

It means, in favor of anything, as it should be.

And another important thing.

If you detect any irregularities in the staff of my institution...

...just talk to me.

Here you have my personal card. Please.

And this is for the cookie my officer just ate.

- No, there's no need. - I insist.

Thanks, and good afternoon.

And forgive me.

Yes?

Excuse me, sir.

They are calling from El Continental. They want to do a live interview with you.

- What for? - The usual.

They want to know how you managed to decrease the robberies by half in less than two months.

Tell them I say... with responsibility and work.

- Nothing else. - Great, sir.
