Ready, Aurora?

- Thanks, Auto.

- Bye.

- What are you doing, honey?

- Nothing.

What do you mean, "Nothing"?

- What are you doing?

- Hello, ma'am.

Don'! you, "Hello, ma'am," me!

Hold you to go study or march

or whatever,

but stop bothering my daughter

and running up my electricity bill.

Okay, thank you.

"Okay, thank you"?

It's all gone to hell.

Where are the keys?

Where are the keys, man?

Let's go.

Let's go, man!

Come on, Sombra!

He's gonna beat the sh*t out of us!

Let's go, let's go!

Hurry!

Let's go to the car.

Gel in!

I'll kill you, son of a b*tch!

The tiger is coming!

Tomas, get in!

- Get in!

- Coming!

Breathe!

I know where the hospital is.

Relax, breathe.

- What, man?

- It's nothing, relax.

The tiger got him.

- What?

- Relax.

What tiger, man?

Breathe, man.

Fede.

Fede.

Man.

WES - He's not here.

- Miss, the newspaper says he is here.

He's not here.

Do you know who Epigmenio Cruz is?

Do you know

who Martha Paredes de Alba is?

Then we're even.

Maybe Epigmenio Cruz is his stage name.

You'd have to be f***ing stupid

to use Epigmenio as a stage name.

Who do you think they will eliminate,

young man?

What?

Who will they eliminate?

From here?

From Big Brother.

Day 65. Chema begins to suspect

that he's living in a TV studio.

The confinement has started

to wreak havoc with Ghana's sanity.

Who are you waiting for, young man?

I'm dying.

Young man -

- I'm dying.

- No, don't say that, young man.

Don't say that.

Young man, don't say that.

Don't say that.

No, I'm not dying.

I'm no! dying.

No, I'm not -

- What is your name?

- We've been here five minutes.

Mister, you can't go in.

He was here.

He left (his morning or last night.

He's been here twice before.

Today he was scheduled for a colonoscopy.

His liver is like sandpaper, man.

We told him the first time,

but there's nothing to be done anyway.

- Leo.

- Yes, Doctor?

Did you hear from that guy Epigenio

who was in Ward Three?

No, Doctor.

The last time he was here,

they lent him a guitar,

and he sang a birthday song to Leo.

He couldn't even walk,

but he was hitting on her.

That was his bed, over there.

Are you all right, man?

Come here, let me take a look at you.

He was here.

The tiger?

Have you ever stood in front

of an enormous tiger roaring in your face,

feeling his breath?

You know that he could

tear your face off in one bile...

and there's nothing you can do.

Have you felt that?

No.

Well, that's how I feel,

but without the tiger.

I'm afraid I'm going crazy.

When I was doing

my social service in Pitaya,

I was on the bus going there

for the firs! lime

when two guys stopped us up

in the mountains aiming guns at everyone.

Right here at my temple.

And the women were screaming.

One fainted.

F***ing panic everywhere, really bad.

The bastards.

Anyway, about two weeks later,

when I was working at the clinic,

they brought in a guy

with a gunshot wound in the stomach.

The guy was bleeding out,

he wasn't going to make it.

They put him on the table.

I opened his shirt and cleaned him.

I turned to look at his face,

and he was one of the guys

who held us up on the bus.

The guy who held a gun lo me.

- I looked at him -

- Excuse me.

- Are you a relative of Mr. Epigenio?

- Epigmenio.

They left this for him at the reception

and I don't know how to reach him.

Could you give it to him?

Doctor, they need you in the ER.

Thanks, Leo. I'll be right there.

You're not going crazy.

It's called a panic attack.

It's very common.

Take a vacation.

Go lo Veracruz with your girl.

You need to get some rest.

CHAPULTEPEC ZOO:

SECURITY GUARD:

- Is the zoo very far?

- Yes.

- Maybe he's working there.

- Yeah?

He ran away from a colonoscopy

to go to work.

We'll go see if he's there.

If not, we get a pizza and call it quits.

- Do whatever you want.

- We're going to the zoo.

And talking about loneliness,

here's something my friend wrote.

"The Crane."

I'd never seen one so close before.

When Hound her hidden in the boa!

down by the shore,

her eyes still moved back and forth,

as if looking were a way of moving,

of getting away from there.

Her wings were broken,

and her long neck, elegant as the rushes,

barely showed a few feathers,

covered in mud.

The red ants were eating

from the open wound,

drinking the bird blood

flowing out of its side.

The crane was barely breathing

when the handle of the oar I held

crushed her skull.

Did you write that?

I'm leaving you with these classic -

Do you know

what would make me feel really bad?

What?

Listening to the chick

I really like on the radio

while a dumb-ass like Furia

is making out with her.

Do you know what would

make me feel really bad, dude?

What?

Keep going. Straight.

Straight ahead, man. There.

- You said, "Right."

- Straight, man.

F***!

You never pay attention, man.

- We'll get lost.

- You drive, then.

I will drive, then.

Sh*t, I think Tomas

drives better than you.

- You said, "Right?

- You never pay attention, man.

- I think there is a street down there -

- Why don't you ask?

F***, it's a dead end.

Back it is.

What's up?

Hi, to gel to the avenue?

The what?

We're heading south

toward the college.

You really are lost, geritos.

Don't call me gerito.

- What?

- Nothing.

- We want to get to the avenue.

- I heard you.

Bu! it's a b*tch getting out of here.

How about it?

If you give me a ride,

I'll show you the way.

Are you game?

You're on.

Make a left at the firs! corner.

A! the next one, a right.

A right, man.

What's up, gerito?

Don't tell me you're afraid of me?

That gang back there

was going to slice you up.

Stop up here.

That's it.

First, you're gonna buy me some brews.

Don't hurt my brother, let him go.

Chill, dude.

Bottoms up on a count of three.

One,

two,

three!

Now the second thing.

Another round.

No way.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, man?

Wait, you wusses!

- Stop.

- What?

- Stop!

- I can't, Tomas.

Stop!

What's the matter, Tomas?

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

It's all over.

Calm down, it's over.

Everything is all right.

That dude wanted to kill us.

No, Tomas, he just wanted friends.

What? Why not?

Maybe he just wanted to make friends.

We all need a friend.

Where are we?

In Mexico City.

Good afternoon.

Santos.

What are you doing?

Leave that!

- Santos, no.

- They're good.

- They're good.

- Let's go.

These are perfect.

They are very small.

Do you think Epigmenio is still alive?

Let's see what they (ell us

tomorrow at the zoo.

Where are we?

No, it can't be. No way.

- What?

- No way.

How did we get back to the school?

Well, it's time to go home

so Sombra can get some rest

like the doctor said.

I want to go in.

We can't.

Can'! you see it's occupied?

No, we can't go home.

Aurora's dad will hang me up by my balls.

Santos.

You, stay here.

Where are you going?

Good evening.

We're going to the assembly, of course.

Bu! the assembly started a long time ago.
