[upbeat music fades]

[organ music playing]

It's wonderful being with the Lord.

[panting]

Be seated, brothers and sisters.

Today I have some very big news for you.

The first thing.

Those who have water to donate, or
appliances, any fresh food and utensils...

[panting]

...for the victims of the earthquake.

It's been seven days. A long time.

And there's a lot more to do.

The van,
the van will be ready for donations

at six this evening out front.

For those victims, let us pray now.

According to Second Chronicles 7:14,

"If my people are praying
or they are seeking my face,

you will hear my heavenly voice,

- and I will heal their land."
- [churchgoers cheer]

Glory to God!

[churchgoers cheering, applauding]

And the second announcement
but certainly not least important,

there is someone among us here.

His very first time to this temple.

And I tell you this man is a special man.

An enlightened soul.

A brother who has lost his home

but has found a new one
through the grace of God.

Glory to God!

More than a brother,
he's like a guardian angel.

You'll understand why soon.

A round of applause for Ramón Tamayo.

Bravo!

Ramón, will you come join us?

Marcus, please give us a little help here.

- Don't you dare be an as*h*le.
- A big welcome for my father!

[priest] That's it.

Ramón, a true guardian angel.

Working every single night, saving people
all over the city in his ambulance.

He awaits a calling from God
to save lives.

Because that's what
our brother Ramón does, saves lives.

Expecting nothing in return.

Only his unbelievable kindness

is what drives him
in the Lord's direction.

Glory to God!

[churchgoers cheering]

Now it's our turn, brothers and sisters,

your turn to find an opportunity,
a way to help this angel on earth.

But first, if I may be permitted,
I mean rather,

with permission of the Lord God,
we welcome you into this community.

[Marcus] Come on, Ramón, bath time.

In the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit, I baptize you.

Embrace him, oh Lord.

- Amen. Hallelujah!
- [churchgoers] Amen!

[priest] The Lord in his great mercy
has decided

that today's tithe
should not go to the church

but to one of his earthly angels.

Because Ramón is in great, great need of

an urgent operation on his gentle heart.

Your gentle little heart, Ramón.

I'm gonna k*ll you all.

- [priest] Hallelujah, Lord!
- Hallelujah, Lord!

- Hallelujah, sisters and brothers!
- [churchgoers] Hallelujah!

- [cheering]
- [band playing instruments]

[churchgoers cheering]

INSPIRED BY THE DOCUMENTARY
" MIDNIGHT FAMILY"

- [reporters chattering]
- [radio chatter]

[reporter] The authorities
are activating emergency procedures


and are awaiting the response
from the army's emergency units.


These elite units are currently on site
and assessing the situation.


Rescue teams have been active
for many days now.

They are some of the heroes
that have been stepping up

after the recent earthquake
in Mexico City,

and more teams are being assembled.

Mexicans are hanging onto hope...

[doctor] You are a remarkable student.

I'm so grateful
that there are people like you out there.

People with the will to help others.

I'm proud of you, and I really mean that.

Thank you, doctor.

Very good.

Could you please read article 8,
the second part of the paragraph, for me?

"Those students who engage directly or
indirectly in medical practice or actions

outside of approved academics are..."

[bell rings]

Should I go on?

Do you understand you could face
expulsion for a breach of standards?

My papa was a paramedic his entire life.

I've been inside of an ambulance
more than my own house.

Which field
will you specialize in, Marigaby?

Urgent care.

Are you sure?

I think you have so much potential.

I can clearly see you as a great surgeon
in cardio-thoracics, for example.

It's time for you to make a decision.

[Marigaby] It's so easy, isn't it?

She doesn't live where I live. She won't
miss a meal if she's not on the ambulance.


It's just a choice to her.

[Ramón] Okay, how long before
we can get back into the building?

[Leticia] Help me with this.

[Ramón] Thank you, neighbor.
Thank you, neighbor.

And the city people
are nowhere to be found.

You surprised, Ramón?

I can't go back to work.

I can't go back to my home.

My heart is f*cked up.

But you know what would be
really f*cked up?

To be living in your ex-wife
and her new boyfriend's house.

That would be really f*cked up, Ramón.

And you know who's responsible, don't you?

- Who, Ramón?
- Your sister.

Her brilliant idea of bringing us in here,
asking her mother to take us in.

[Marcus] Yeah.

Family, lunch is ready.

That backstabbing traitor.

- Where are you going?
- Out of here.

[Leticia] Marcus?

Marcus!

Hey, Marcus!

[door opens]

- Hey!
- Mm-hm.

- How was your lunch?
- Good.

- Bring me anything?
- No.

But I called a couple of times
and I texted.

I put it on silent because
I need to bust out this histology.

And also, Dr. Gómez gave me a warning.

Is that an intestinal muscle?

What's up with Dr. Gómez? What did you do?

It was nothing.
What could I possibly do to her?

Not that it matters, because
sh*t is always f*cked up for her.

- Especially when you're doing it right.
- [laughs]

- What? What are you laughing at?
- Nothing.

So, I understand why you didn't
wanna tell me about the ambulance.

Everyone's so critical. It's a bummer.

Anyway, this b*tch
is about to kick me out,

and now she has me on video.

She pulls out the handbook and says,
"Read this paragraph, article 8."

- Probably to embarrass me or some sh*t.
- Actually, I happen to like Dr. Gómez.

Ah. If that's the kind of people
you're into...

She can be a pain in the a*s.

But she used to take me to the movies
and tell me stories.

The stories were about medicine,
of course, but they were stories.

Huh. Stop bullshitting me.

I'm not.

- You're saying that she's your mom?
- Yeah.

- What?
- But how is she your mom?

She doesn't even sound Spanish.
You could have told me.

- Look. You're getting a call from Raúl.
- [phone buzzing]

What's up?

Doing some homework.
Can I call you back later maybe?

Okay. Sounds good. Kisses. Bye.

- You do have a boyfriend.
- No, I don't.

He's pretty close to my family

and he's attending physician
for Dr. Ochoa.

He's helping to find us a place
for the operation on my father.

How's your father doing? Alright?

Yeah, guess so.

We'll see. You never know.
Thanks for asking.

- Is the doctor really your mom?
- Yeah.

[sighs]

Then I like her.

[both chuckle]

This all we're having?

Salad with artichokes and olives,
and baked eggplant too.

It's good for you.

I was thinking of the gorditas you made.
You remember them, sweetie?

Oh, uh...

Sorry, sorry. Leticia.

You should eat healthier and lighter.

You know you could go into surgery
any moment now.

Ramón, would you like
to offer the blessing for this meal today?

- I would rather burn in hell.
- [Leticia] Ramón!

Don't worry about it. I'll bless the food.

[clears throat]

Good.

At Your table we will remember
Your word is the way,

Your body is fellowship.

- Amen.
- [Leticia] Amen.

Well, I'm more stressed here
than in the ambulance.

[Leticia] Would you like some water?

[doctor] You're good at f*cking
but terrible at wearing condoms.

You better believe we're good at f*cking.
[laughs]

Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?

It's too early for me to know yet.

[breathes deeply]

We're trying to make a decision about it,
if we're having the baby or not.

Right?

Even though ab*rtion are legal
here in the city,

we don't perform that procedure here.

[sighs]

Do you hear the heartbeat?

[heartbeat thumping]

[sighs]

I'll let you make your minds up.

Maybe you can get the ab*rtion
in your own country.

It's my f*cking body.

[breathes deeply, sighs]

What an as*h*le.

We'll see someone new.

It's your choice.

What does it matter? There's no
difference. All of them act the same way.

It's 'cause they...

they know I'm an immigrant, that's why.

And what are we supposed to do
if we were to have the kid?

Hmm?

You know how long
my parents have been telling me

that we're just
passing through this place,

that one day we'll have another home?

Years already.

[sighs]

I don't want to...

to bring another person into this world
only to...

to feel as f*cked as I do.

[machine beeping]

[Marigaby]
You must be Nallely's girlfriend, right?

I'm Marigaby.

I was the one who helped her.

She told me what you did.
I can't thank you enough.

Mm-hm. It was nothing.

How is she?

I guess she's okay.

She's awake, so that's good.

Wanna talk to her?

- Yes, please.
- Go ahead.

- These are for her.
- Thanks.

Nalle?

My star girl. Do you remember me?

A star? I'm nothing but a black hole.

Don't say that.

Come on, now.
You can still do a lot of things.

That's easy for you to say.

I'm sorry.

I'm just not in the mood.

Thanks for coming.

Don't worry about it.

Just rest now.

- I have to go.
- Thanks again.

[Marigaby] It's really f*cked up
when you try to help someone


and end up doing more harm than good.

I guess there are things that once broken

can't be fixed anymore.

[Leticia] No, no, no, no, no.

What? You said I should do
the same thing as I did with the others.

Well, yes, but this time
you need to subtract, not add.

- Come on. Keep going.
- [sighs]

He's as dumb as his father.

When I'm in the ambulance,
I can concentrate better. Can I go?

Just listen to your mother. Stay here.

- [Julio sighs]
- Hey, guys. Where's Marcus?

Fueling up the ambulance.

[Leticia] There's lunch for you
in the kitchen.

- Thanks, Ma.
- [Leticia] You're welcome.

Oh, my God, I'm hungry.

- You can finish the rest in your room.
- Okay.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

I just love your plan for tonight.

Go finish your homework.

- Bye!
- [Leticia] Bye!

- [Ramón] Take care.
- [door closes]

- [priest] Shall we go for a jog, love?
- Sure!

- Ready to tone up these athletic bodies?
- [groans] I'm still sore.

[both laugh]

- Bye.
- Bye.

[door closes]

Dude, what the hell? Where are you?

Bye.

[Carmen] Reporting a 74
at Viaduct and San Antonio. Copy?


Multiple crashes.

[Marigaby] Copy, Carmen.
On our way. Thanks.

[siren wailing]

[cell phone chimes]

- Julio.
- Come out, man.

Mom already told us you escaped.

Now that you're here,
you're gonna work, bro.

No, no, no, no, no. You stay here.
sh*t is about to get pretty nasty.

- What am I supposed to do?
- Do your homework.

Watch the ambulance.

Dad's f*cking pissed you sneaked out,
and that's not good for him.

- Stay right here.
- Don't get out.

[firefighter] You two. You right there.

- We're here to help.
- Stop. The scene is not safe.

You need to wait until it's safe
to proceed.

[crowd chattering]

[bystander] Hey, check out the car.

We need some more help. Send backup.

[paramedic] Marigaby. Marcus.

[Marigaby] What's up, godfather?

- How are you doing?
- You know. So-so.

How's your dad doing?

- Better.
- Fatter now, huh?

Can't we go in and help?

No, we'd better wait
until they give us the go-ahead.

f*cking bus driver jumped the light
and the car T-boned him.

You guys ready?

Give me a minute.

- [shutter clicks]
- Damn it! Damn it!

Hide me, will you?

- What's wrong, Doc?
- I'll tell you later. Shh.

The first responders
have secured the area.

They're gonna try to extract
the injured passengers from both sides.

Please move carefully.
It's a dangerous situation, okay?

Come on, come on, come on.

It's too tight for us.
We need someone smaller to go in.

- Yeah, I'll do it.
- [godfather] I need your team to go in.

- Can you give me an extraction vest?
- You got it, doctor.

And some gloves?

[first responder 2]
Try to avoid any sudden movements.

You hear me in there?

- He's unconscious, Doc.
- I checked. I can fit.

[Marcus] There's not much time.
I smell gasoline.

I know, but we have to go in.

- Hand me an extraction vest.
- Of course.

[first responder 3]
Avoid the area. Do you copy?

[Marigaby] Going in.

[Marcus] Careful, Doc.
There's a lot of debris in there.

- Damn it. Hi there.
- He ran the light.

[godfather] Marcus, over there.

- More victims on the other side.
- Easy.

[godfather] I got you covered, Doc.

[crash victim crying]

[first responder 4] Unit 16.

Godfather, the lady on the bus
looks trapped behind the motor.

We have to free them at the same time.

- Okay. I'm on it.
- Thank you, godfather.

He came out of nowhere.

Easy. Take it easy.
We're gonna pull you out, okay?

[shouting, crying]

Coming through.

My leg!

Hi, my dear. What's your name?

- Rebeca.
- Rebeca, how old are you?

Thirty.

Hey there. My name's Marcus.
I'm a paramedic.

- Here to help.
- Yeah.

- Does anything hurt?
- My head, a little.

What the f*ck are you doing here, bro?
Stay there, Julio.

[Marigaby]
Okay, my friend. Breathe, yeah?

Try not to move too much, please.

Stay still. Okay.

- How are you doing, godfather?
- Almost there, Marigaby.

[Marigaby] Is the equipment ready?

[first responder 3]
Where are the expanders?

- [godfather] I need help over here.
- I'm ready on my side.

[first responder 4]
Move her up on the count of three.

[Marcus] I've got you, okay?
Lean back. Help me out.

Help me, little dude.

Hold his head up, okay?

Hold his neck
and apply pressure on the wound.

- Yeah.
- His neck.

Hold him, bro.

We crashed. I was driving a young lady.

- So there's someone else in the car?
- [crash victim] Yes.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

I don't see her.

[screeching]

- [Marigaby] Hurry up. He'll bleed out!
- Ready.

- Godfather, we're ready here. Are you?
- We're set here.

[first responder 4] Okay,
almost there with the engine. Ready?

[screeching]

[godfather]
Let's go! Coordinate your extractions!

[first responder 4] On three!

[all] One, two, three.

- [godfather] Let's go!
- [Rebeca screams]

Marcus, he's bleeding too much!

My name is Marcus. I'm a paramedic.
Hey, are you alright?

[Marigaby] Come on. Let's go.

[Rebeca crying]

[first responder 4]
Extraction successful. Victims are stable.

[Marigaby]
Put him on that ambulance over there.

[first responder 4] Excuse me.
Coming through. Coming through.

This way. This way.
Coming through. Yes, right there. Good.

Even your father couldn't do it better.

I'm so proud of you.

- [Julio] Marcus!
- Hey.

I'm scared.

[Julio breathing heavily]

[gulps]

[Marcus] Take it easy.

[thud]

[Marcus] Julio. f*cking hell.

[Leticia]
How did he sneak into the ambulance?

I thought we agreed on this.

If only you knew him better...

Yeah, but you're totally
indulging him, Ramón.

Just 'cause you took us in doesn't give
you an opinion on raising the children.

Who you abandoned, by the way.

I wanted to stay in contact with you
and the children and maintain civility.

But you always get so defensive, Ramón.

We'll leave tomorrow
if it makes you feel better.

[sighs] All of us here are trying
to make the best of the situation.

All of us, huh? All of us?
You're speaking in plural? All of us?

You know what?
We'll talk about it when you settle down.

Don't you worry about it.

We're gonna repay every dime
you collected at your temple, huh?

You and your holy guy with his
"God is with us." God is with us!

[Leticia] Calm down
before you have another heart attack.

[sighs]

[Marcus] Hey, there's no need
to split hairs, right?

Okay, Doc.

This is for you.

- Good luck.
- Alright.

This is for Ramón.
And I'm saving mine for an emergency.

Huh! Seriously?

Listen to how smart your brother is.
No, you'd better leave that right here.

What does emergency sound like?
Emergencies, right?

The money shouldn't be spent
on useless things, okay?

- You can't save all of it.
- Yeah, whatever.

What do I get?
I could use some money for a torta.

What's the matter? Are you not well fed?

Move it, Julio. Come on.
Make some room here, buddy.

Need something for your dizziness?

It happened to me once, buddy.

You mean you passed out?

This guy tries really hard
to be a big man.

- Bullshit. That's not true.
- He used to throw up all the time.

- Leave me alone.
- Oh, yeah. Please, man.

My first three accidents were pretty ugly.

They made me puke. [retches]

Yeah, but I never cried like your sister.

- [groans]
- f*ck off.

- So will I make it as a paramedic?
- There's no way to know, man.

- It's a b*tch.
- It can be so difficult, bro.

- Just kidding ya.
- You're a talented little sh*t, baby bro.

You've done injections.
You've done it all.

[Carmen on radio]
We have an 8-31 in Narvarte.

Do you copy? 8-31 in Narvarte.

- Here you go, dude.
- Copy, Carmencita.

- On the way.
- But keep quiet, huh?

- Okay.
- You earned it.

Come on, back to work.
Whoever pukes buys dinner.

[Marigaby] That's right, dude.
You buy the tacos if you throw up!

Come on, hurry.

Things are gonna change now, son.

No more sneaking out.

I didn't sleep much,
so I'm not gonna do well.

Well, you need to get more sleep,
don't you? Let's go.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Hello. Good morning. Julio Tamayo
is no longer permitted to enter school.

See? Let's go.

- No, no, no, no, no. Just wait.
- Hurry. Hurry up.

But why isn't he allowed in?

Are you a relative of his?

- His mum.
- Uh, um, excuse me, ma'am.

I can take you to the principal's office
so he can explain better.

Please come with me.

- Come on.
- [bell rings]

Come along!

[principal] Let me put it this way.

If we were grading recess,
he'd be failing that too.

He has serious problems with conduct.
Take a look at this.

Did you prescribe medications?

I told you we shouldn't have come.

We sent several e-mails to his father,

but he doesn't seem
to be worried about it.

No. Ramón doesn't have e-mail.

Well, we were provided
with this e-mail address.

ramonpapa_.paramedics@hotmail.com.

His latest e-mail message
says that you are considering

moving to another school,
one that better suits his interests.

How many songs have we done, beautiful?

- [rap music plays on speaker]
- Hmm?

I don't wanna be rapping
with these dudes for the rest of my life.

Yeah, that's why I keep insisting
we leave here.

- We need to go.
- I know, but with what money?

We'd better start saving our cash,
though, right?

Can I show you something?

Let me see...

Enough. Leave me alone.

[Crisis chuckles]

What is it?

[heartbeat thumping on phone]

What is it?

It's a heartbeat.

Are you joking? When did you record that?

I can give you a key.

My place here
is close to the school, right?

Please just shut up.

If you need help with
the nervous system or neurology...

- Oh, sh*t.

You're losing me here
a little bit, Dr. Luna.

No, look, right here.
I have these great books for you to use.

I'm leaving.

- Really?
- Yeah.

[cell phone ringing]

[Marigaby sighs]

- Hello?
- [chuckles]

Yes?

Uh-huh.

And when?

It's about your father.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, coming.
Book the OR.

Will Blondie be the anesthesiologist?

That's great.
Let's try to find the best radiologist.

And the cardiologist?

Rojas. Rojas.
Rojas is perfect. Yeah, perfect.

Sure, I'll call her. I'll call her.

Thank you. Thanks so much.

- What?
- That was my man at the hospital.

A room is available.

- Really? When?
- Today.

Six this evening.

[sighs]

- Good?
- Thank you. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. We need a bunch of things first.
Think you can get us a stent?

- Sure, yeah. Already have it.
- Okay. Good.

We've got almost three hours to prepare
the room without getting caught.

- Okay.
- Your dad needs to be ready.

- Yeah.
- Is he ready?

- Yeah. He's been on a diet.
- Okay.

He's ready.

Listen.

I know we've been over it.

Even though the operation's simple,
your father's at high risk here.

He's a bit obese and he's hypertensive.

And patients in his condition
don't do well in most surgeries.

He could die in the procedure.

Or a few days later from problems
in post-operation phase.

- Mm-hmm.
- Hmm?

Yeah. Yeah, I know that. Thanks.

I'm calling him.

[line ringing]

[Ramón] You know what, my friend?

What gets me is them acting like
a perfect family in the house,

laughing their asses off.

Ah, come on, now, buddy.
You mean you're not over her?

Speaking honestly now, buddy,

Lety has gotten even more beautiful.

Oh, my God, brother.
You've always been a romantic.

You can't help yourself.
You're old school.

And I'm winning her back, my friend.

It's not over. No way it's over. Salud!

Salud, my friend.

[godfather sighs]

Tomasito.

How about another round?
And the second course.

Then bring for him maybe some...
tacos with lettuce leaves.

- [chuckles] Be right back.
- [patron] Good afternoon.

Check it out, brother. Look who's here.

Hey, Oscuro. Come on over.

- Let's get our fortunes read.
- Hey, no, no, no.

[Oscuro] Would you like to know
your fortune, monsieur?

I would. And his as well.

[sighs]

I see blood. So much blood.

One of you will be crossing over soon.

f*cking Oscuro.

[scoffs]

"One of you will be crossing over."

[laughs]

f*ck Oscuro, huh?

[cell phone buzzing]

[Ramón sighs]

[sighs]

[Leticia] He's not answering.

[Marigaby]
I'm getting godfather's voice mail.

There you go. This is the money
we collected at the church.

- Still trying to reach Ramón.
- [gasps] I bet I know where he is!

Where?

- At The Clinic.
- What clinic?

THE CLINIC

Leticia! Come here!
How wonderful to see you.

Look here.
This good man loves you so very much.

Tell her how much, Ramón, brother.
Let her know.

Why aren't you answering?

Why aren't either of you
answering your telephones?

The kids are waiting outside.

The OR is ready. They wanna operate today.

Operate? No, no, no, no, no.
Don't do it, buddy. No, no, no.

It's not possible.
I mean, I can't have an operation.

I just had a couple of those tacos
with chicharron and a couple of tequilas.

Alright, so breathe, then.

Let me smell your breath.

No, come on. Liar.

My brother...

[Leticia sighs]

Enough.

I told you to wait outside.

Let's go. Come on, come on.

[sighs]

Marcus...

Promise me one thing, son.

What's up, Ramón?

You'll care for this ambulance
like it matters more than life itself.

You're a great rapper.

[Marcus] You alright, Ramón?

Julito, promise me
you'll finish high school. Hmm?

So you can be a good paramedic.

Sure, Pop. But promise me
you won't die on me now.

Hmm.

Your Grandfather Gabino
and Uncle Florencio,

they both died from heart disease,
so I can't make any promises.

But for me,
please promise that you'll be a good boy.

- Marigaby.
- [Marigaby] Hmm?

I see you as the world's greatest doctor.

Stop it. I mean, the procedure
will be easy. You're gonna be okay.

[Ramón sighs]

Lety.

I know you know this...

I love you with my whole heart.

With my whole f*cked-up heart.

I want you to know that when you saw me
kissing my friend's cousin that day...

The lady with big teeth?

[Ramón] That was all it was,
just a few kisses.

I don't remember that at all.

Don't pretend you don't remember.

It's why you left us.

Now isn't the time
to bring that up, alright?

I want you to know
that despite all my mistakes...

- [Julio sniffles]
- It's gonna be alright, little bro.

...you're all the loves of my life.

Hello. How are you doing?

You can all wait here.
I'll keep you posted.

If I get through this, I'll change.
I'll be a new man.

I'll get you back, Lety.

It's gonna be okay, Ramón.

[Dr. Luna] Shall we go?

- Sorry. You can't go in there.
- Silvia, it's okay. She can scrub in.

She's a med student. I'll supervise her.

Okay. Go ahead.

[machines beeping]

[doctor] This your first year?

[Marigaby] Yes.

Is anyone in your family a doctor?

No, doctor.

This patient has needed this procedure
for a long time now.

It'll be a miracle if he survives.
One more week, he'd be gone.

Okay, visual's good. I'm going in.

Which access is this, young lady?

[Marigaby] Radial access, doctor.

And what's the most common risk
in a procedure like this?

[Marigaby] Thrombosis.

[doctor] What else?

Restenosis in the artery and heart attack.

And the most serious complication?

I... don't know.

Intracranial hemorrhage, young lady.

It's caused by anti-platelet treatment.

- [Dr. Luna] How's your family, doctor?
- [doctor] They're doing well.

On vacation, by the way.

OPERATING ROOMS

[doctor] Alright. I'm encountering an
atheroma plaque here. Pushing through it.

The degree of stenosis
is very significant.

If the patient doesn't change his
lifestyle, we're just wasting our time.

[Marcus singing, rapping]

He's gonna be okay, Mom.

Okay. The stent is in place.

What do you think, Raúl?

[Dr. Luna] It looks good, doctor.

[doctor] Pulling it back.

Blood flow is good.

Catheterization is successful.

Now, post-operation
is the other 50% of this process.

- [machines beeping rapidly]
- What's happening?

- [doctor] Frequency?
- [Dr. Luna] It's around 200.

- 210.
- [doctor] Blood pressure?

- [doctor 2] It's dropping.
- Pulse rate?

- Absent.
- [Dr. Luna] He's fibrillating.

- [doctor] Get the crash cart ready.
- What can I do to help?

- Ventricular fibrillation.
- I'm a med student. I can help.

[doctor] He's in cardiac arrest.
Get her out of here, please.

- Please let me stay. Raúl, please.
- Marigaby, you can't help right now.

- You need to go. You need to go now!
- Please, please. Dad!

[doctor] Charge to 200 joules.
I need one milligram of adrenaline.

No, ma'am, you have to go.
Please wait outside. Stay calm.

[beeping continues]

[Leticia] What happened to Ramón?

[Julio] What happened to Pop?

[Marigaby sniffles]

[Marigaby cries]

[Marigaby] How can I explain it
without falling apart?
