01x07 - Until the Countdown Ends

Post by bunniefuu »

[dog barking]

[Edu] Good morning.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- How long were you staring at me?

- Well, it's been a little while.

Dude, come on. I'm sleeping.

- What's with you?

- I don't know. What's the time?

- It's 12:30.

- Seriously? 12:30?

Yesterday sucked, and I'm just

gonna sleep all day today? [scoffs]

- And Georgina?

- She went to the hospital.

But you broke up, didn't you?

Of course we did, dude.

She's with someone.

But it's all good, okay?

And you and Gerard?

Fine. I asked him to calm down

and he asked me to get married.

We struggle with communication for

some odd reason that I can't figure out.

- It's strange.

- That's pretty hard.

- What are we doing today?

- What do you mean?

I'm going into surgery in a few hours.

We have to use our time wisely.

You actually think

these last four hours I watched you

and I wasn't planning anything?

You sat here for four hours

watching me sleep?

Four or five hours. Who can say?

And that doesn't matter.

The city's alive,

and so are you and me. We're both alive.

Let's try new things, damn it.

Let's go! [chuckles]

- Oh

- Now we're talking.

You're not gonna get it.

Your ba*ls are being destroyed

and you really don't seem to care.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Dude, don't worry.

Your operation will go well.

[exhales] It's been a week

since I was diagnosed with cancer

and I'm about to have an operation.

Yesterday I ended it with Gina.

The only thing on my mind is

is is Marta.

I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense.

But, what can I say?

- I think it makes sense.

- Really?

sh*t, Raúl. You know how hard

finding something like that is?

- But I hardly know her.

- But, that's how this stuff goes.

You meet someone, they blow your mind

and, you know, that's the sh*t,

because when you're with her,

- you don't want the day to end.

- Yeah.

Or it's like when you're super high

at a party, like tripping ba*ls.

Yeah, you lost me with that one.

You don't want the club to close

because the night goes on forever.

- Sure, sounds amazing.

- [game beeps]

sh*t, dude, you got a shot

at something like that

and, I mean, you're letting it slip away?

I'm sorry.

You've got enough on your mind

without adding more to it myself, so

Hey, no, no. Hey, hey, hey.

I like cheesy Edu, man. Keep going. Go on.

When cheesy Edu comes out to play, you're

getting the damn Alexia Putellas of love.

Great, yeah. Keep going.

Well, if cheesy Edu were in

your situation, he wouldn't think twice.

- About what?

- What do you think? About you going.

Yeah, going where?

Dude, you spend your life

watching rom-coms.

Now that you're actually

about to live one out for real,

you're playing Super Nintendo.

No, no, dude, no.

I've got too much going on today.

f*ck what you got going on, dude.

Sorry. Sorry, man.

Sometimes unpacking a situation

brings out the violent side of me.

'Cause things that I buried

start to erupt. Did I hurt you?

No, no, I'm okay.

Go on. Please tell me, now.

- The operation will work, all right?

- Uh-huh.

But in case it doesn't work out,

imagine if you never saw her again.

She's getting to know this dude

who's incredible,

and then all of a sudden he disappears?

Marta doesn't deserve that.

["TIK TAK", David Menéndez López]

LOVE YOU TO DEATH

[sobbing]

- [dog barking in the distance]

- [grunts]

[sobbing continues]

[Nano] f*ck, dude.

I can't believe this. [sobs]

Ah, f*ck.

- Nano.

- [sniffles]

Why don't you go cry

at your own f*cking house, Nano?

Yeah, sure. I'll just go to my house

and beg my wife to console me.

It's just, how could I cheat on her again

with you, huh?

I'm gonna destroy my marriage. For what?

For a random fling I can't even remember?

Do you remember it?

Nano, you can't destroy your marriage

when it's been dead for years already.

And, yes, unfortunately I can.

Well, sure,

for you it's all passion, this thing.

You can't resist the way I smell

or my buff body.

- You've said it.

- You smell like a wet dog.

I mean, it's different for you. You

don't You don't have responsibilities.

You know? You're free.

You don't have a family you're gonna hurt.

I don't want that.

No, this can't happen again.

I don't know.

Well, maybe randomly just once.

You know, or twice at most.

Well, look, Nano,

the thing is, I'm pregnant.

Huh?

And it's yours.

And, yes, I could have told you earlier.

- But I'm sorry I didn't. I wasn't

- And you've taken tests or?

And I'm keeping it.

Who told you you're pregnant, Marta?

A professional told you that?

No, actually,

a gypsy on the street told me.

She reads palms

and she said I'd have three kids.

First one's dad would be a jackass,

the second's dad would be the chosen one

and k*ll the jackass,

and the third's dad would be

the decent person finally.

Marta, I get the sarcasm and all,

but the gypsy thing was r*cist.

Even for me. They're called Romani.

Okay? r*cist.

How am I such an unbelievable idiot?

I was so f*cking, so stupid

to sleep with you again.

[doorbell rings]

- Hello.

- Oh, hey. Hey, Raúl.

How come you're here?

It's just that there's one thing

I wanted to tell you yesterday, and

Um, that's cool. Is it all right

if we talk about this some time later?

Hang on a minute. I I just think

I feel you should know

Look, you caught me at a really bad time.

We'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?

No, tomorrow doesn't work.

This is serious.

Look, the thing is

is that I have canc

It's been a month

that you've known about this?

- Oh, hi.

- Motherfu

Just go over there

and we'll talk in a minute calmly.

- How long should I wait?

- Go now.

Until you have it?

Until the baby starts college?

Because I clearly don't have a say.

These days, if the father

is a heterosexual, cisgender male,

he can't have an opinion, right?

- Will you just shut up?

- He's the father?

This guy knew even? Does everyone know?

f*ck, I should ask my wife!

This is very crazy, right?

- Nano, shut your face. Shut it.

- I'm her boss, by the way. Nano.

He doesn't wanna know who you are.

Please leave already. Go.

So the father is your boss?

Don't you dare judge me.

I just didn't realize

you were in a relationship.

No, and that's because we're not, Raúl.

Well, it's complicated.

I mean, I'm her superior.

I have a wife and kids and all.

You know, lots of signs basically

shouting at us, "Stop f*cking, you guys."

But, sh*t, there's so much passion, huh?

Will you go over there?

Over there now.

Listen, I don't know

what you're trying to say, Raúl.

- Yeah, the thing is

- And it's not a good time now.

this is really important

to say, seriously,

because, well, the thing is, my life

Well, your life right now

really isn't my concern, all right?

I've got a bunch going on in my head.

I'm not able to fix

your existential crisis.

My what?

Helping each other out

and being friends is great,

but that's it, all right?

I'm a piece of sh*t. Isn't that clear?

Well, no, I really don't think

you're a piece of sh*t.

Of course not, because

you're a great person. Right, Raúl?

You're the HR dude who's never done

anything wrong in his entire life,

and saw this situationship

as an experiment

in personal growth or something.

You know what your problem is?

What?

You've realized you've been

leading a life that you don't like.

And you're so afraid you'll fail

after finally changing,

you'd rather stay the way you are.

But sometimes life

gets cut short.

Well, great. Are you finished

with your self-help bullshit?

I mean, are you happy, dude?

Are you happy with the job you have

at the car dealership? Are you?

Okay, so now what I do for work

is bullshit along with everything else?

No, no, no.

That's not what this is about, Raúl.

But you have no idea how hard I worked

to get myself to where I am right now.

How many years it's taken me.

You don't get it.

I don't understand the part

where you're f*cking your boss, but

Oh, wow. Okay, thanks.

You know what? f*ck off.

I'm not gonna stand here

while you judge me,

a guy who hasn't struggled or had to

work hard to achieve anything in his life.

The most interesting thing you've done

is be an extra for a commercial.

Fine. Well, listen. You can also f*ck off.

Well, finally, you're being honest, huh?

Why don't you just take the stairs?

Just take the stairs.

Yeah, well, I ran here.

Well

Well, here we are.

Right, yeah. Here we are.

All right, so first is Admissions.

And after that up to the other floor.

I don't know which one.

Uh, hey, if you want,

I'll bring you extra underwear.

You packed five pairs already.

I think that's sufficient for now, isn't?

All right, fine, fine.

That's it.

- What?

- Your robe, dude.

What do you mean, a robe? What?

Yeah, dude.

You know what the robes they got here are

like? And you're walking around, a*s out?

- Yeah.

- I mean, the air conditioning.

You feel that? Too much.

You'll end up with an infection.

Two types of illnesses, Raúl? No.

Two? No way is that happening.

- I'll go buy you one right now.

- What? You're gonna leave?

You're going right now?

First, you make me go over to visit Marta,

which I'm still processing,

and now you're leaving me?

Well, you'll thank me later.

I'll just be gone for a minute.

Plus, your mother's coming, and Georgina.

Maybe go choose your room, all right?

And I'm probably gonna put on a different

outfit because we look too similar.

I just hope they don't operate on me.

- Because I'm perfect.

- I mean, are you sure you're all right?

Yep. Perfect, dude.

- Okay?

- Yeah, okay.

- Okay.

- But come back quickly, okay?

Go ahead.

Now, what you can see right over here

displays your presence on social media

which has dropped the past few months.

You've seen pretty negative activity,

and that's because

the digital content you launched

doesn't resonate with the clientele

that you're targeting for your product.

Yeah, we're already aware of that fact.

That's why we're here.

- Right? Or

- [Marta] Yes.

I'm explaining it because I think

it's important you understand

that you have to do a total 180

to relaunch your brand's image.

- I'm sorry?

- A 360-degree turn.

A 360-degree turn

would be all the way around,

so you'd be at the exact same place

you started.

Yeah, but you'd have made another turn.

Sure, a 360

and however many turns it takes.

Marta, will you please just

We need to take them

from this feeling you see right here

Um, Iveth.

From this here

to this instead.

Welcome to what's natural.

Hmm It's just I still don't get

what was wrong with the previous campaign.

- I don't

- Okay, you don't get it.

Iveth, go back, please.

These beggars on the street.

Yeah.

They're suddenly assaulted by influencers

wielding lip gloss, highlighters,

bronzers, all that, right?

And these beggars, after experiencing

some kind of like magical ordeal,

they're all miraculously

Well, they turn into cover models.

- Hmm.

- Billboard models.

HOMELESS PEOPLE

BECOME HOT WITH LOVE CUTE

It's better like that, don't you think?

So you think this idea is very logical

and you'll be able to hook

your target audience

because this is as engaging as it gets?

Well, what we want, our idea,

is that with our brand,

everyone who uses it associates us

with the good guys, hmm?

Okay, so pretty much

you guys were thinking

the good guys pay influencers

to bring makeup to homeless shelters.

- Right. Like that. I love that.

- Seriously?

- Yes.

- There you go. He says he loves it!

Will you let it go?

That's the campaign we already got,

so, yeah, 360 obtained.

- We changed nothing.

- [Nano] Marta, he's the client.

- He's gonna have things to say.

- Yeah, he's the client. And?

Will you try to calm down, please, Marta?

No, I will not calm down!

'Cause I'm sick and tired of doing

all this dumb bullshit all day, Nano!

- Now is not the time to be doing this.

- No, I'm over it, dude.

I'm surrounded by mediocre business owners

who just like hearing

that they're genius kings.

They do two grams of coke

and say to blow their logos up bigger.

And that's literally

all that matters to them!

- Uh

- And talented people like me all evolve.

And I'm just rotting here!

I've given up everything for this!

For this!

And on top of that,

you're never gonna give me

the job I deserve with that promotion.

So, you tell me,

I should stay what, for what?

At the bare minimum,

I should f*cking get angry.

f*ck you and your Love Cute sh*t!

[Iveth claps]

[Marta] Okay?

- [colleague] Marta

- Yes? What do you need?

What is this? Some kind of sorority sister

thing? I don't get it. What are we doing?

No, no, no.

It's just that you're bleeding is all.

- [Marta gasps] Oh.

- That's it.

- What's that?

- I I'm all good. I'm, uh

Uh [sighs]

That feel all right?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

Your a*s hangs out a little.

It's kind of sad.

- Yeah?

- Little bit.

[Raúl chuckles]

[groans]

- Anything you want?

- No, I'm fine.

I can get you, I don't know, a soda,

or water, while you wait?

I'm good. I'm fine. Thanks.

So, well, this is gonna be

a kind of long procedure,

and, uh, I just forgot I wanted

to ask the nurse about something.

Um, I'm just gonna be gone for a second.

Okay? I'm gonna step out.

But I'll be right back. Just a moment.

Yeah, okay.

Just wait for me. I'll be right out.

Okay. [chuckles]

All done.

[clears throat]

What's the matter?

He can come in, Gina.

It's It's fine, okay?

- Uh, who can?

- I'm serious. I'm fine with it.

[sighs]

Don't make him wait out in the hall

the whole time.

I You know, I wanted to come alone.

Um, but, I don't know,

he just saw how upset I was

and insisted on coming.

And I think that's better that he just

stays in the hallway, you know?

Because it's just, well, it's a bit

weird, I don't know, today of all days.

- Get him in here, okay?

- I

I wanna meet him.

- You're sure?

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I'll go get him.

- He told me he wants to meet you.

- Uh, are you sure?

- [Gina] Right. Okay.

- Hey! What's good, Raúl?

Hi, brother. How's it hanging?

- How's it going?

- I'm Luis Carlos.

- Luis Carlos.

- But you can call me Luca.

- He's Yeah, well.

- Ah, Luca.

This is Luca. You know, he's

Luca, your emotional coach, right?

Let it all go, go with the flow.

Did you read my book?

- No.

- I just told him a lot about you.

- Oh, okay.

- I, um, talked about him, right?

- Well, your ideas really took hold.

- [Luca chuckles]

Ah!

- Well, this is a bit weird, right?

- Just a little bit.

- Sure.

- [Luca] Right? Huh? [laughs]

No tools in your belt, huh, for this?

No, there are. I don't wanna

brag or anything, but I do have

- Hello! Hi, beautiful!

- [Gina] Hello!

- I haven't seen you in forever.

- Yeah.

- You look gorgeous.

- Thanks.

- You're so lucky, Raúl.

- Yeah, right?

Hey, who's this handsome young guy?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- How are you? I'm Luca.

- Gina's emotional coach.

- Uh-huh.

He's her boyfriend. He's

Luca's her new boyfriend.

- He's my, yeah, um boyfriend.

- Ah!

Are you three in

- No, no, no, no, no.

- [Raúl] No.

I'm only with Just us.

Well, I mean, you know,

we could talk about it.

I do wanna say I mean, you know what?

I'm fine with it.

- Huh?

- Oh, come on, sweetie.

It's better now than later.

You don't wanna end up

single at 60.

Well, actually, there's a book,

Single at Sixty,

that explains

what that experience is like.

Besides, can I be honest?

You two were not a great couple.

- It's the truth! Right? Don't you think?

- [Gina] You didn't?

Their relationship needed

a bit of work.

- [mother] Yeah.

- But they had something there.

Yes. Hey, sweetheart.

Can you set up my Google account

so I can watch stuff while I wait?

- Set up your Google account?

- Yes.

I wanna watch these Turkish soaps

on an app.

You want me to install an app

to watch Turkish soaps right now?

- Yeah.

- That's what you want?

- Never mind.

- I don't understand.

I'll just ask

this very good-looking fella right here.

- You can help me, right, cutie?

- No, what? Oh, all right.

It's on Google.

Wait. I'll give you the sign-in.

- Google?

- Yeah.

I can google the app

for watching soaps.

- Okay. And what's your password?

- Philadelphia8.

Are you not freezing?

It's pretty frigid in here.

- F like Francisco or

- No, of course not. PH.

- [Gina] Okay, hang on one sec.

- It's with PH.

[Gina] Here it is. That's it!

- Philadelphia.

- "Eight" in letters?

No, no, with numbers.

- [Gina] I don't know where the AC is.

- "I'm not a robot."

- I mean, I just

- Gina!

What? Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

[nurse] All right! Whipper!

[all] Hello.

[nurse] Look at this crowd, huh?

Raúl, sweetheart, how are we

feeling today? How's it going?

Can we please just get this going?

Sure, in a moment, but I need you

to sign here first on all these papers.

What, now? Wait. What is this? What is it?

It's the informed consent

for the operation.

- That's not a problem.

- But he just

He'll be in and out of there, right?

Yeah, but he still needs

to sign the form for us, señorita.

- Yeah. Oh, oh.

- [Raúl] What?

Oh, wait. This can't be right.

No. No, this doesn't work at all.

No, no, neither does this.

And this part needs to be

rewritten completely, for God's sake.

Mom, it's an authorization form,

not a record deal.

Will you just leave it alone

so I can sign it?

Well, that's worse because

the way it is, you can't just sign it.

If he doesn't sign it,

then we can't operate.

- So you're not operating.

- Mom! What are you saying? Come on.

No way, nursie.

Let's hear what the coach thinks.

Do you understand this?

He doesn't understand it either.

This is terrible.

"In all intracardiac techniques,

cardiopulmonary bypass,

also known as the pump or the heart-lung

machine, is used for surgery."

Okay. It's all set.

All of Turkey in your hand.

Ah, thanks. Thank you, sweetie.

"This machine takes over

the functions of the heart and lungs

in pumping and oxygenating the blood."

Do you see?

They're going to stop your heart?

Well, of course they are.

How else could they do the operation?

That was my thought as well.

And who asked for your opinion?

Raúl, wait. Maybe your mom is right

and they shouldn't operate.

Or at the very least

At least not today.

Totally, Gi. I'm also noticing

some negative energy today.

- [Gina] Right?

- [Luca] It's not a

- I mean, look. Look.

- [Luca] What is it, babe?

- What's that?

- [Gina] Well

- Is that Doctor Pisani?

- Yeah.

"Dinner with friends. A toast

to reuniting. Living our best lives."

- I don't know. Isn't that

- It means he's a snob and he's tacky.

[Gina] This is last night.

Are you really gonna let some guy

do an operation on you with a hangover?

- I mean

- Enough already.

This is getting really ridiculous.

We're all a little nervous.

Why don't we try some breathing exercises?

Ridiculous? Why?

Because we don't want you to sign it?

You have to think about this

and get a second opinion.

I got a second opinion.

Well, get another one.

So annoying. Please, just stop it.

Where's Edu?

OPEN

[shopkeeper] Hello.

Can I help you with anything?

Uh, yeah, I need a robe.

Can you help with that?

Uh-huh. Is it for you, my dear?

No, it's for a friend.

For my best friend.

[shopkeeper] Mm-hmm.

What are you doing here? Did you

bring dancers for another proposal?

I already apologized for that.

I thought we wanted the same thing.

- Can we leave it alone?

- Fine, fine.

How'd you find out I was here?

The two of us shared location. Remember?

I did put it on.

It works, right? Kind of toxic, though.

No. Well, sort of.

So what are you doing here?

Why aren't you at the hospital?

You know that dog I had, Rosco?

Who I had years ago, you know?

No. You never told me any of that, no.

I had a pet dog named Rosco, right?

And when he was older,

I had to put him

And I wouldn't go in.

I couldn't be in the room with him.

If I couldn't handle that goodbye,

how am I gonna say goodbye to Raúl?

[Edu grunts]

What the hell was that?

Slapping me now?

And I will slap you again.

Look, all of us have lost a dog, okay,

Edu? More than one, even.

But the next thing we do?

We toughen up, we get more mature

and we deal with it.

And if you're not there, you'll regret it,

you understand?

But I really can't.

- Yes, you can.

- f*cking stop! Dammit!

Jesus Christ, Gerard.

Yeah, you're right.

What the hell?

What are What are you doing?

I, uh I was trying to steal it,

but it won't it won't start.

Well, then, say that. Ask me.

I'll give it to you. It's no problem.

Just put this on your head, okay?

It has a switch right here.

Thanks.

So this is over, huh?

- [Gerard] Totally.

- Okay.

Okay, okay, Gerard.

Look, we'd just regret it later on.

How does it work? Is it

- You gotta push and fly. Fly.

- How do I go?

All right, all right, all right.

I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.

[sighs]

God, I'm

- Oh, jeez, I'm bleeding a lot.

- Yeah, I'm getting the spins.

- You're bleeding?

- [Marta] Yes, I'm bleeding.

Oh, well, beautiful.

I bet you get it all over my interior.

No, I put a towel down under my vag*na.

You really should have

told me that before I picked you up.

Everything's spinning.

- Blood also makes you dizzy?

- No, the car does.

Okay, well, here. Text my sister and tell

her that we're headed for the hospital.

But I get dizzy

texting while I'm in motion.

Puke it up.

There's blood and there's vomit too?

Well, I'm gonna see

some kind of show today.

- I'm fainting. Later.

- [Nano] Iveth?

- Thank you.

- Goodbye. Good luck.

- Thanks.

- [Nano] Thanks, man. Come on.

Is there a doctor in the room?

- [nurse] Of course. What happened?

- Huh? No, not for her.

- For her. She's pregnant.

- I'm bleeding out of my vag*na.

[nurse] Carlos, get a wheelchair, please.

When did it start?

Uh, well, I think

it was about an hour ago?

- An hour. More or less.

- Right, yeah.

- Sit down.

- [Carlos] Easy, right?

[Nano] Yeah, yeah.

- Here we go.

- Let's go.

- Can they come with me?

- Uh, are they family?

Uh, no, no, no. Uh, well

I mean, it's I'm the one who got her

pregnant, but, uh, I'm her boss.

Should I wait here? I'll wait here.

I'll come find you in a bit.

[Marta] Hang on. Nano?

- [nurse] Watch it, guy!

- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

We'll be in shortly, okay?

[Ana] Marta.

You scared me, sis. Jeez.

How are you? You all right?

Yeah. Well, uh

Right, yeah.

I'm going to the OR.

- That's what the nurse said.

- Okay.

And they're gonna remove

the rest of the tissue

that didn't come out

when it was bleeding earlier.

Right, sure, the tissue, yeah. They gotta

get it out of there. That's normal.

And, um, they'll be aspirating.

I don't know.

They said something about a vacuum.

Are they gonna suck it out of me now, Ana?

I don't know yet.

Will Will you check Google, Joel?

Yeah. I don't know if that

It's kind of absurd

that I'm feeling like this

because, I mean,

I wasn't even sure that I even wanted it.

Oh, Jesus, I'm an idiot.

Yeah, you've always been an idiot.

Your whole life.

But not for this, all right?

Okay.

[sighs]

Hey, so I, um

- I'd like to, well, I'm

- No, I wanted

Go ahead. You go first.

I'd like to apologize

because I really haven't been, you know,

very focused on your pregnancy

and everything.

- But, Ana

- Just, please.

- Will you let me finish talking?

- No, I wanna speak first.

I'm your big sister.

Fine.

You're gonna be a great mom, incredible.

[chuckles]

A little controlling and rigid

Especially controlling.

You got that right. [chuckles]

Joel

Sorry. Right.

And I'm not a better person.

For wanting to have the baby.

You know that, right?

Yeah.

And it's fine to get sad or to

to feel broken inside, or relieved.

It's really all right. Yeah?

I'm so sorry, Marta.

- I'm gonna get the nurse.

- Yeah, because this is really absurd.

[Luca] Here's what I think, okay?

I think we should do some exercises.

All right? Let's do a little healing.

How lovely. Um, yeah, this'll be great.

Wait, please. Would you

- Let's hold hands now. Okay?

- Hold my hand.

And let's all close our eyes.

Now, after we take a really deep breath,

we're gonna do a single "om."

[Luca, Gina] Om.

[vocalizing continues]

Hello, guys?

[vocalizing stops]

Dude, what the sh*t are you doing

to my friend?

It's a healing exercise, my guy.

[Gina] Yeah. It's a thing.

So great, babe.

Look. I brought you a nice little robe.

Form-fitting at the waist. Italian style.

Just the way you like it, huh?

- Oh, that's rad.

- This is too small, though, I'm sure.

No, no. It's a slim fit. It's lightweight.

It's small, dude. It's

- Hey, no. Just trust me here.

- [Raúl sighs]

Like a glove. Look how hot that is.

- Feels small, though.

- Like the Little Prince.

- I don't care if he's a grown man.

- I need you to listen to me now.

I know what he needs. He's my son

and I'm his mother, so please.

- [nurse] For the love of God.

- What's going on?

I think we're gonna be here for a while

because my mother and Gina

don't want me to sign the consent form

for my operation.

Why not? And who's that?

Yeah, I also don't want him to sign it.

This is Luca, Gina's boyfriend, 'cause,

you know, we're all very progressive here.

Anyhow, we need

to postpone the operation.

- Period.

- Yeah, yeah. Uh-huh.

We're not gonna postpone anything.

Give me a pen, please, okay?

Wait. Why? Why would he postpone it?

Because they're gonna stop my son's heart.

And the doctor was drunk last night

on champagne.

Listen, okay, we all know

who the doctor is here, okay,

and what he's like, but he's all we got.

I know you're all very scared.

I'm scared as well.

But we need to embrace that.

That's really good, yeah.

And now we need to work together

and just stay strong for Raúl.

And it's a difficult situation,

but it's time to come together.

And even with knowing there's a 70%

chance that Raúl will, uh, that he'll die.

- [mother] What? 70? Raúl told us 30.

- [nurse 2] That's not accurate. It isn't.

- I said 50.

- [Gina] He said maybe 60.

[nurse] No, it's not 60% either.

The number isn't It's not clear.

- The doctors really can't even say.

- Indefinite.

And your only option now is, um,

to try to be brave,

tell him how you feel and

say goodbye, I guess.

I almost didn't get here and

I don't recommend it.

It's time for me to sign. Okay?

Mama?

[sighs]

- Right here?

- [nurse] Yep.

The signature is beautiful.

[nurse] Perfect.

All right, thank you very much, Raúl.

We have everything we need.

Let's take off that robe.

It can't go into surgery. No, that's

Okay, one arm here.

Very good, sweetheart. And there we are.

You hold on to this. Excellent.

And your bag goes over here.

Okay, we're gonna bring in

the OR transfer stretcher

and we'll be right back for you.

Just a second, hon.

[nurse] All right,

let's make a little room here.

Okay, just lay down right here, hon.

[nurse 2] On here.

- All right.

- Come on. It's all gonna be fine.

- You'll see.

- [Raúl] Oh. Oh.

There you are. Very good.

[mother sighs]

So handsome, my son.

I've never been prouder, son, really.

Thanks.

I suppose.

You'll see. This is no big deal.

Hey

[sniffles]

Make sure they put the AC at 72, okay?

No higher. [chuckles]

'Cause otherwise you'll sweat too much,

and and then when you wake up,

you'll be all wet

and totally gross, all right?

- Right.

- Do you promise?

Yes, I'll ask. All right, I will.

All right.

[kisses]

Everything will go fine.

Yeah.

Hey, Raúl, how are you?

So, I don't know you all that well,

but after you wake up from the anesthesia,

ask them to record a video of it.

Those are usually pretty gosh-darn funny.

And you're gonna do big things,

you hear that?

Luca, please leave.

- [nurse 2] Uh, okay.

- [nurse] Okay, here we go.

- All right, time to roll.

- Let's head to the operating room.

Come on, honey. We're gonna be all right.

There. And watch the turn.

- [mother] Goodbye, baby.

- [Luca] Bye.

[nurse] Ciao.

Are you really not going with him?

- I should, right?

- [Gina] Dude, I don't know.

I'll go now.

[Gina sighs]

The worst is over.

Uh, can I please just have a minute

to talk to my friend?

- Just a second. Really quick.

- I don't know.

Listen, brother, uh,

this is not "goodbye" or anything.

It's just simply me saying, just

telling you things because they're tips.

I was reading over these medical books.

It's cut, take out, back home.

Okay? Got that?

Another thing I read

was more metaphysical, um

If you're heading toward a light,

get your butt out of there,

because I'll get you

and I'll drag you right back.

And if you go outside your body,

I'll get a hold of you

and push you right back in it,

'cause we got a whole lot

to do, my brother.

Stop, stop, stop for one second.

One minute.

Listen to me. My life wouldn't be the same

without you, okay?

Get in, get out of there

and we can go home, okay?

I love you like crazy, all right?

Make sure you get in, get out there,

and then we'll go celebrate, okay?

I love you, brother, all right?

Get back here with him pronto, okay?

Easy-peasy, yeah?

Piece of cake, dude. All right?

[Raúl] Uh, yeah.

- I love you, brother.

- I love you, man.

And I'm perfect, dude.

[nurse 2] Do your best to relax.

Mm-hmm.

[nurse 2] As you will see,

it'll be a routine surgery.

Everything'll be just fine.

- Everything will be fine, Gina.

- [chuckles] Uh-huh.

- Yeah, of course. It'll be all right.

- It has to be.

[Gina sighs]

- And he is wonderful.

- Yes.

He's the best, right?

Okay. Careful, careful.

Right in. Right in there. There you go.

[nurse 2] Go ahead. To the left.

Layoffs are goin' on.

You hear about all that?

[nurse 2] Yeah, of course I did.

You really think anyone here

can go 12 hours without a break?

And then they're all surprised later

that they got folks clocking out for good.

Tons of people will be clocking

out. They'll be clocking out for sure.

More than a couple of people

are jumping ship. They will. You'll see.

- Raúl? Hey!

- Marta!

- Hey, hey, Raúl.

- [Raúl] Marta? Hold on.

- Hang on. I know that girl.

- Can you just stop?

- Can you please turn?

- Please. We don't have all day here.

- Right. Yeah, all right.

- Yeah, just a minute, please.

- What What are you doing here?

- What are you?

Me? Nothing. Having some coffee with

these these girls here. They're badass.

- Yeah?

- [chuckles]

[stifled sobs]

Is it Is it the baby?

[sobs]

Yep.

- Sorry.

- [sniffles]

It's all right. It's nothing. [sighs]

Why are you here?

I'm having an operation.

Hang on a minute. Hang on. Wait.

Is that what you were trying to say

this morning, and I wouldn't listen?

Uh-huh. Um, they're gonna operate

on a tumor in my heart.

It's a It's All All right.

Why Why

Why haven't you said anything?

[sighs] I'm really not sure.

I didn't think we'd keep seeing

each other, but in the end we did, and

I was afraid to bring it up

because I think that

that I kept falling in love with you

more each day.

You were You were in love with me?

- Oh, my God. Holy hell.

- Well, that's a big deal. I mean, it's

[chuckles]

[crying] Don't tell me you're in love

with me now. You can't do that.

I think you could be

the love of my life, Marta.

Come on.

Although, my life could end up

being pretty short, right?

- We're gonna be here a while, huh?

- Don't tell me that, Raúl.

You can't tell me something like that now.

You should've told me sooner, you know?

We We could've gotten married.

I mean, I don't know.

- Listen to her now.

- I always wanted to be a widow.

It gives you a lot of cred. Seriously.

"Marital status: widowed." It gives you

like elegance and worldliness.

[chuckles]

Hey, could you put us a little closer,

please, like get us parallel?

Beep, beep.

Are you all right? Are you all right?

Well

No. No, you're not all right.

[Raúl sniffles]

I'm really scared.

[Marta] Of course you are.

But you're gonna be fine.

[Marta sniffles]

Don't worry.

It's all right.

Stay calm, okay?

Because it'll be fine, all right? It will.

- You sure it will?

- I'm sure. I can feel it'll be fine.

All right, kiddos. That's enough

with all the kissing and all that.

[Marta] Fine. Come on.

All right, okay.

- [nurse] Ugh, men. I'm telling you.

- [chuckles]

[Marta] Don't worry.

You'll be all right, okay?

Chin up. You got this. Chin up, Raúl.

[slow bleeping]

[Doctor Pisani]

All right, let's get started.

You feeling okay?

Yeah. Yeah,

I'm a little nervous, but, um

[doctor] Don't worry.

Just think happy thoughts, okay?

And what's this?

It's, um Are you giving me that

to get me high?

And I'm not gonna wake up

during the operation?

[doctor] That's what the anesthesia's for.

Count with me. Just relax.

Is this the same thing

that they gave to Michael Jackson?

[doctor] Come on, now. Count with me.

- One

- One

Two

Three

[moans]

You know, I should've asked you

to stay that day.

Yeah, I wanted to stay.

I'd have loved to jump in the water

with you and act like an idiot.

Shall we go for a swim?
