- Looks pretty clean. - [Marigaby sighs]
You lazy fucker.
You have a filthy mouth, Julio, for real.
Family, let's go to work!
[Julio] Two boxes of gauze...
- [Marigaby] Two? - [Julio] Yeah, two.
Two of alcohol...
Three more ethanol...
Uh-huh...
Four packs injectable water...
Two packs of surgical soap...
One box of syringes.
Water for injections, there's four of 'em.
Uh-huh...
Four saline solutions.
- [Marigaby] Mm-hmm. - And that's all!
All right.
That goes over there.
[Marcus] We good?
Look at what I found over here.
Oh, shit.
- [Ramón] Oh my God. - [Marigaby] Ooh.
- What d'ya say about that, Ramón? - Look.
[whistles]
Hey... Yeah, speak of the devil.
[Ramón] Don't worry about it, son.
They promised to find her a new owner who'll treat her right.
Maybe they won't know crap!
And I didn't even get to ride her again.
Not even to say goodbye.
[Marcus] Who said you wouldn't ride her again?
We can work one last shift tonight.
[Ramón] No, Marcus. We just washed her.
We'll wash her again, for Julio.
[Julio] Come on, Dad.
Lety, what do you think?
All right... Okay, one last time.
Yes!
- You coming, Mari? - I have to get up pretty early tomorrow.
We'll do it another day.
Come on...
Okay, I'm in.
[Marcus] Done. We work our last shift tonight.
Thanks, Marcus!
[Marcus] So, it's our last dance...
INSPIRED BY THE DOCUMENTARY "MIDNIGHT FAMILY"
Have you guys seen Bernie?
- Yeah, he went that way. - Thanks.
[student] That's how you cook eggs. Use the right pan.
Dice it up...
Hey, good to see ya.
I thought you were dead.
Or were you just playing dead?
Don't be like that. Come on.
Could you give us a minute here, please?
- Sure, you got it. - Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Sorry. - Thanks.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks.
- [Bernardo] Later. - [student] Bye.
[sighs]
I know that leaving that way was wrong.
I'm sorry.
Please don't be angry.
I'm not angry.
I was worried.
And...
It would've been nice to get a text message, or a call...
You're right.
But I'm sorry for the way that I behaved that day.
Well, it's done.
You had to go because it was important.
I understand.
So we're good now, right?
Right...
[scoffs]
Why are you so sweet?
Why couldn't you be a little bit more, like...
Some moron, or douchebag.
Sure, I could be like that. But I don't want to.
Things are going to be different now.
Especially for Julito.
Yeah, but he's gonna get used to it, bit by bit.
It would be easier with his mom there in the house.
[sighs] Stop it, please.
But I'm doing just what you wanted, Lety.
Leaving the ambulance.
And now, I'm starting a whole new life here.
Listen to me.
The ambulance was not the real problem.
The real problem was you.
[sighs]
So I guess we just keep playing dumb.
Because I'm the one you love, right?
What are you talking about?
You know it.
Aren't you late for work or something?
I'll let you know how it goes.
That's not necessary.
Bye.
I'll let you know anyway.
Hmm... Sure.
[students chattering]
[Gómez] I need you to understand that your relationship with Bernardo
will not work in your favor.
In fact... It's quite the opposite.
We said if you messed up again, you'd be out.
Yeah, I fucked that up.
Well, I mean... I was wrong.
Don't worry about it.
I've come to understand that you don't have a filter.
At my house, everyone was shocked by your behavior at dinner.
But still, I think that for once,
you may have used the correct term for describing what you did there.
Listen, Doctor...
I've worked in the ambulance since I was a child.
I spent my whole life being a part of that team.
Nobody ever asked what I wanted.
And what is that?
I want to be a doctor.
Can you tell me what's going to prevent you
from just disappearing again?
My family sold the ambulance.
So I'm all in.
Even if they had kept it, I have made this my priority.
[sighs]
You're too far behind, Marigaby.
I'll catch up on all the work, Doctor.
And you missed the exam.
Even though you were given a second chance.
I'll speak to the professor.
I don't think he's going to be very happy with you.
[Marcus] You know I'm going with you to the US, right?
So you're really selling it, Marcus?
Yeah, babe.
She's about to be retired.
We sure had some good times in there though.
[chuckles]
Come here...
And here's a little souvenir.
[chuckles]
Hey...
Should we say goodbye to the ambulance? One last time?
- Yeah? - [giggles]
Fuck!
Oh shit...
Yeah, I'm coming out, man!
Shit, bro...
- Come on... - Damn, Cristina, you drive me crazy!
[Julio] Maybe we should go get something to eat.
The assholes are back...
We have to show that we're not afraid of them anymore, okay?
[Julio sighs]
I think we should give those guys their cash though.
Remember?
There's no cash because we spent it all.
Why'd you have to give those guys the cheap photos?
I mean, we had some of the old ones, right?
Well, that's on you too.
- On me? - You didn't give me any good new ones.
Well, how is that my fault?
I'm the one getting punched here, not you.
[player groans]
[students scream]
- [student 1] He's knocked out cold. - Help him!
- Is he okay? - Somebody help!
- Easy money! Hurry! - [student 1] What happened?
- Is he okay? - [Julio] Out of the way. Step back!
- What happened? - They banged heads.
[student 2] He's not waking up...
At least now he can't bother us.
Abnormal light reflex...
Hey! Someone, please call an ambulance.
Right now, man! Go!
- Go on! - [students scream]
[Martha] Morning, Mr. Ramón.
You're working here now?
- I am, my dear. - You like it, then?
- Well, congratulations! - Thanks.
- If you see him, say hello to Marcus. - All right!
- Tere! - [laughs]
Was I right?
The whole damn place is glad you're here with us.
I'll bring you to all the finest places, where the food is healthy for you.
And the taquerías with the clinic discounts.
- I just want to get right to work. - That's the spirit.
Before I show you to your office,
just remember that the important thing is that it's functional.
It may be tiny, but size doesn't matter at all.
- Double meaning? - [chuckles]
[coughs]
Give it a chance. It'll grow on you.
I'm sure it will.
Great, it's all yours.
- See you for lunch. - See you later.
Does anyone know how this thing works?
No parking right here.
No?
According to who?
[scoffs] Us.
That's odd, Chief,
because every day, this is where I park the ambulance.
What kind of cash will it take before you'll piss off?
Oh-ho-ho! What's up with that?
Listen my friend, we're just talking here.
I think you're trying to fuck with us.
Marcus, come on. Come on, it doesn't matter.
Hear that? You see?
Now, listen to your woman.
This is between you and me. She's got nothing to do with it.
Oh, you're such a big man. I want to remind you something, friend.
- Yeah, what? - We're the ones in charge!
- Chill, asshole! Relax, man! - Hey! Stop that!
- Stop it! Leave him alone-- - Get off her!
Leave her alone! She's pregnant!
- Hey, Cristina! - [police] Fuck off, man!
Are you okay? This is bullshit, man!
- Fuck you, motherfuckers! - [Crisis cries]
Fuck your mother!
You all right?
- [crying] I don't know. It hurts. - Let me look... Those fuckers...
- Hey, buddy. Is she all right? - It really hurts...
[Marcus] We'll be there in a few minutes, Cris.
Good job, kid. Good reactions!
Hey, thanks. I'm a paramedic.
Well, no. My father is.
My big sister is in med school.
Hey, wait a minute... Your dad is Ramón Tamayo, right?
Hey, Pepe! It's Tamayo's kid!
Oh man, I should've known!
That guy taught me everything I know. It's true!
We'll take it from here though, okay?
Hey, tell your dad Edgar's nephew says hello.
And good job!
You just saved us, Julio.
What?
You know all about medical things.
So...
[hums]
But don't get started with crazy ideas, okay?
Because that's when we have all the problems.
You lack ambition, my friend.
But I do have some knowledge!
Aah!
[students clapping]
[cheering]
Professor... I want to apologize.
Could it be a déjà vu?
Let me guess.
You want to ask to take the exam for a third time?
You think we've all been put here to serve you?
[clicks tongue] The arrogance...
- I know I don't deserve another chance. - At least there's something we agree on.
It's just my future depends on this.
Hold on, Miss Tamayo.
Don't make the state of your future dependent on me.
Please try something a little bit more original.
The only decision I have to make is whether you stay in school.
And my answer is no.
This is clearly no place for you.
But look at the bright side.
You can continue to ride your ambulance now, no problem.
If being on the streets means so much to you,
you're better off there than in here.
Right? That's your future.
Know what?
That's true.
I didn't choose to study medicine...
...to become some sort of millionaire.
Or work at the finest hospitals around.
Or to publish all my discoveries...
Or make it to your classes on time? Or show up for exams?
I've been studying medicine to help everyone that I can.
Because I don't want people dying any more out there.
I want to know what to do for them in the hospital to get them home alive.
Maybe I can't help all of them, but at least I'll try.
You don't define my future.
No one can.
I'll be a good doctor no matter what it takes.
And you, all of you, keep making fun of ambulances and paramedics.
But I'd pay to see some of you out there.
You need to get your hands dirty, in my opinion.
Excuse me.
The exam score must be perfect.
One mistake and you're out.
There won't be any.
First thing tomorrow morning.
Better be on time.
[sighs]
[phone beeps] Bernie...
They said I can take the exam again! [laughs]
I'm just feeling so good right now.
So can we talk later? Kisses.
- [cell phone chimes] - [students chattering]
[students laughing]
[bicycle bell rings]
Dr. Luna.
Can I give you a ride anywhere, Miss Tamayo?
No, thank you.
The metro is a bit faster.
So, to what do we owe this visit?
I just wanted to say hi.
And to thank you for the other day.
No thanks needed.
I will always be there for you, hmm?
- [sighs] Don't go being all sentimental. - [chuckles]
So... They let you back in your classes?
I'm not telling. Do some research.
I guess they did, because you always get your way.
[laughs] Not always.
You are made for great things, Miss Tamayo.
I think I'd better be on my way.
I'd say you'd better be, because I'm so damn close to kissing you.
- If I were to let you. - That's why I won't even try.
Good decision.
I'm in love with you, Miss Tamayo.
And I'm done pretending.
It's up to you what to do with that.
[Marigaby] I got myself into a real mess, right?
I don't know who I want to be with, so don't even start.
But I do know I need to ace that exam and prove I'm ready.
[Bernardo] Thanks for coming, Mom.
I almost didn't make it.
I've got work right up to here.
And shouldn't you be working too?
I've been working here all day.
Oh, my love...
I think you know what I'm talking about.
You know, your girlfriend has made some changes.
And frankly, I believed she was a bit of a lost cause...
But Mari surprised us.
I'd even say that you could learn a thing or two from her.
I am learning.
That's why I wanted to show you the axolotls.
And all that we've been doing here.
There are two different kinds--
Yes, I know what axolotls are, Bernie. I do. [clears throat]
[chuckles]
Right...
Let's move on then.
I'm dropping out of med school.
Are you going to spend your whole life rescuing axolotls?
The thing is, Mom,
when I look at you and Marigaby, I realize you have something I don't.
- That we like to get ahead? - No, passion.
Passion for medicine.
Why would I keep wasting time with it?
And what about the time the professors spend instructing me
when they could be teaching someone who wants to be there.
I was only joking when I said that about your future because you're my son.
But you have talent, you know.
Don't waste it like this.
[chuckles]
No, listen to me.
You should know that I don't think what you're doing
isn't important, because...
Clearly it's important to you,
meaning that it matters and is important to me.
But you can always do this later in your life.
When you get your degree and finish your residency--
No, I don't think you understand. I found something that makes me whole.
- It completes me-- - Yes, yes...
Let's not make this some sort of dramatic soap opera.
You're not obligated to do anything.
You never were.
When I first separated from your papa, you preferred to stay in Spain.
And you know I accepted it because that's what you wanted.
Yeah.
You should know, I'll support whatever you want to do.
I mean that.
Including those decisions that I have trouble understanding--
Thank you.
[Ramón] Calm down, son. They're checking her. She'll be fine.
Ramón, you should pick up Julio.
I'll meet you guys later on.
Don't worry about that right now.
Take these, Marcus.
Fuck, Ramón. Don't give me those.
We don't need the ambulance without you.
If Cris has some kind of emergency, you just might need it.
If she's okay, then you can come join us.
I'll explain it to Julio. Hmm?
Thanks, Pop.
- I appreciate it. - I'll call if we need you.
- Okay. - Come on.
Both the mother...
And the baby...
...are just fine.
Thank you, Mario.
[Mario] Save your thanks.
You were lucky.
Cris is young.
And strong.
That's an advantage.
But you shouldn't put her in danger like that
- So can we go? - [Mario] You need to rest for a bit first.
We'd better keep an eye on you and the baby for a few hours longer.
Just to be sure.
Good then. I'll let you two talk.
But you need to get some sleep.
I'll tell Martha to charge this visit to your ambulance account.
The old man doesn't miss an opportunity...
Did you really need to stand up to those officers?
- What should I have done? They got-- - You know how the police are here.
Man, Ramón gave me these in case we need anything, okay?
In case we need to go somewhere else or something.
You have your shift tonight, don't you?
The last time you all ride together?
Yeah, it was my idea. But it's the last time, I promise you.
I know they're counting on you, Marcus, but...
I don't want to be alone right now.
Well, the doctor said you need to rest now, hmm?
Let me go give them the keys.
I talked to my parents, but not the rest of my family.
I need to let them know, let everyone know we're going to the US.
Okay?
Two hours and I'll be back.
I'll be back.
Why did you give the ambulance to Marcus?
I hope he doesn't mess around with it.
Your brother is busy.
But he's still coming, right?
[Marigaby] Sorry, there weren't any buses!
[Julio] Excuses!
[Ramón] So?
They told me that...
If I pass the exam, they'll keep me enrolled in school!
[Ramón laughs]
I thought I'd have to go in there and kick their asses!
- You got nothing to say? - Oh, yeah... Congratulations.
And where's the ambulance?
- [Marigaby] Aren't you excited, bro? - I don't know...
You know I'm going to miss the ambulance.
- [ambulance honks] - Well, speak of the devil...
- Look! - [Ramón] Look who's here.
- [Ramón] You made it. - [Julio] Good timing!
- [Marcus] Fucking hell... - [Ramón] See? All good at the hospital?
Well, I need to go back.
- I'm in a hurry. - [Julio] What kind of a hurry?
No way, bro!
You promised! It's our last time riding together!
- Hey, relax, kiddo. - Fuck that!
You all do whatever the hell you want.
Nobody asks what I want though.
[Marcus] Come on, Julio...
The one time I ask for anything, this shit happens!
It sucks, dude!
It's the last ride, Marcus.
You promised, and it was your idea.
I can do one call, all right? Not the whole night.
I gotta get back to Cris.
Then we'll talk. There's something I need to tell you all.
Hey, hey! No, that's my spot.
[Julio] That's what you get for being late.
[Marigaby laughs] Nothing you can do, bro.
[Marcus] This kid is too fucking spoiled, Ramón.
- Dude, relax! - Shit...
[Carmen] Ramón? Ramón, do you copy?
[Ramón] Copy, Carmencita. We're here.
[Carmen] You're making me cry, big guy.
I haven't heard from you. I miss you already.
My Pop should really ask you out, Carmencita.
[Carmen chuckles] I know, but he's kinda slow.
I've been throwing him bones, but he never catches them.
- [Julio, Marigaby] Oooh! - Oh, man...
So the day's finally come, huh? This is where it all ends?
What do you mean? I have to take care of myself now.
[Carmen] You guys will always be my favorite, you know?
I'll miss you so much.
And just to prove it, I'm giving you the first call of the night.
There's an emergency situation in the Tepeyac zone.
I haven't reported it, so hurry.
- [Ramón] Sounds good. - [Marigaby] Let's do it.
[Ramón] Thank you for everything, Carmencita.
[Carmen] Thank you, Ramón.
- [Ramón] You're the best! - [Julio] Thank you, Carmencita!
[ambulance siren]
[raindrops pattering]
Cris, I'll be out a bit longer
You asleep?
Be there soon
[crowd shouting, whistling]
[woman] There they are! Get them over here!
[Julio] What the hell?
[Marigaby] Don't go far, okay, kiddo?
- [Ramón] Good evening. - Hi.
What's the situation?
Some people got run over, possible internal injuries.
They need urgent first aid.
[Ramón] Has the area been secured?
[officer] Of course it has.
[officer 2] But wait... What's he doing here?
Kids shouldn't be here.
He's part of the team. He's my boy.
Okay, just don't tell anyone I let him through.
We'll need two stretchers.
[Marcus] Let's hurry, Doc.
Let's get rigid stretchers and neck braces...
- [Ramón] What the fuck, man? - Hey, family!
I thought this was Tamayos only. Who invited Luke?
- [Ramón] Is this asshole following us? - [Marigaby] Relax, Dad, okay?
- Let's get to work here. - [Marcus] Let's go.
[Marigaby] Come on, Tamayos. Cover up, Julito.
[Luke] What are the chances, huh?
Why are you here?
I came with the soccer team. The Iron Bulls.
These sports are part of keeping children off the streets out here.
We were playing against the Volcanos.
A local team. They brought all their supporters.
It was getting out of control,
and then all of a sudden, this guy drove his pick-up truck
at a very high speed straight into the crowd of people...
And boom! He ran right over Manuel.
- [Ramón] The goalie? - [Luke] His leg is trapped.
[Julio] Holy shit, his leg!
The other guy's right here. He got trapped between the seats, see?
- We can't get him out. - These two are the only ones injured?
- Yeah. - Okay.
There's still a bunch of them fighting over there.
We'll help the ones who are most serious.
This one first, and then the one trapped the car.
[Luke] He's been unconscious a while.
His pulse seems kinda weak.
I tried to wrap the leg up so it slows down the bleeding.
[Marigaby] You did the right thing, Luke.
The hard part will be getting this off him.
We need to get him out now. We'll work in teams of two.
Marcus, over here!
Give him some saline and then immobilize his legs completely.
- [Marcus] Yeah, Doc. - Ramón, how is he?
He's conscious, but the problem here is getting him out of the vehicle.
- The rescue team coming? - As far as I know.
[Marcus] Help me, man. Hold this tight.
I need to go see Cristina, dude.
[Julio] Wait, hold on. Tell me what to do.
We're going to slide the stretcher under him.
Give me the neck braces.
As soon as they move it, we get him out.
[Ramón] His torso is trapped against the panel.
We need to rule out internal injuries.
What's up, Marcus?
Applying the tourniquet for extraction.
We need the extractors.
[Marcus] Fucking firefighters. They should be here.
[Marigaby] Lift me up, please.
- Two, three, now! - [grunts]
Hey, buddy, can you hear me? We're paramedics, here to help you.
I'm getting your pulse. Do you know what happened to you?
Hold me tight, Dad.
[Marcus] We need to lift the car.
Julio, the fire crew is here. Go get them. This looks bad...
[siren wailing]
[Marcus] Easy, easy.
Marcus just put Manuel in the ambulance.
You need anything else from me?
- No, nothing. - Then I'm gonna go with him, just in case.
No, there's no need.
[Marigaby] Hurry, he's got internal bleeding.
Come on! Bring the stretcher!
We need to check for internal injuries!
Deep breaths now. Breathe out... Breathe, breathe...
I've got him here!
[Marigaby] Here he comes. More, more, more.
Okay, clear. Ready?
[siren wailing]
CRIS: I'll stay at the hospital tonight
MARCUS: I won't be long
Marcus! Come on, bro.
Marcus, concentrate.
It's our last dance, right?
Fuck... Marigaby, I shouldn't even be here.
[Marigaby] Come on, bro, help me.
Easy, easy now.
I'm gonna help you.
[Marigaby] Sometimes I don't understand why we're gonna miss this.
- [Marcus] Hey, Doc. - What's up, dude?
He might have internal bleeding.
[Marigaby] Dad, we gotta get there quick. Hit the gas.
I'm going as fast as I can.
[Marigaby] But I don't know...
It feels like we're part of something bigger than ourselves.
Something that matters. Right?
Yeah, sometimes, we're a little dysfunctional,
but we all have our jobs and our places.
And even though it's all gonna change, we make a pretty good team.
[siren continues]
[line ringing]
- [line beeps] - For fuck's sake, Cristina. [sighs]
Fuck this shit.
Is that Cris?
She's not answering.
Come on, eat faster, dude.
Cris is waiting.
I'm sure they gave her some meds to put her to sleep, bro.
- She'll be okay. - Should be answering, right?
- [Marigaby] Call Mario Alonso... - [Julio] Here comes Pop.
The guy in the car just died. Internal bleeding.
The goalie's leg was amputated, but his condition is stable.
Not gonna miss that.
Fuckin' tragedies just suck.
- That's 'cause you're in a bad mood. - Come on, eat, bro.
- [Ramón] Let's go. - [vendor] Thank you very much.
All right...
[whispers] Fuck, Cristina.
In the end, the car guy was all right, though?
- What are you talking about, dude? How? - [line beeps]
By dying in a violent and fucked up way?
I don't know... But he died doing what he liked.
What the fuck, Julio?
Not like we're doing.
I thought we'd all get old in this ambulance.
And look, tomorrow, we won't even have it.
I've got news for you. Ramón already got old.
[Ramón] Not me! That's not true.
[line ringing]
- [Marcus] Come on. Pick up, Cris! - [line ringing]
[cell phone ringing]
Hello.
Crisis? Damn, baby. Why aren't you answering?
How are you? Are you okay?
Relax, I'm fine.
I'm sorry. Fucking Julito was complaining and made me jump in with them all.
But I promise I'll be there soon, okay?
No, no, no, no.
Take responsibility for once in your life, Marcus.
Julio's a little kid and he can't make you do anything you don't want to do.
You're right, Crisis. I'm so sorry.
But you know they can't lift heavy stuff.
I'm coming right over. I thought you'd be sleeping.
I told you I was scared to be alone, and it didn't matter to you.
Okay, Crisis, listen to me.
I know I fucked up. Okay?
I fucked up, and I'm sorry.
But baby, please. It's no big deal.
[sighs] "No big deal"...
It's fine. I guess my priorities are different.
Come on, man! My priorities are yours, Cristina.
Don't be that way. What the hell are we even talking about?
- Come on... - [Crisis] No.
I'm about to be released, and I'm going.
I'm getting myself the hell out of Mexico.
I know that, Cris. We made a plan. You and me together.
Like we talked about!
Don't do this, please!
- Come on, Crisis... - You're not coming-- [sobs]
We're not going together, Marcus. I'm just going alone.
Crisis, don't talk like that.
Crisis... Cristina--
[cell phone beeps]
- [grunts] Damn it, man! Ramón, drive! - Relax, Marcus.
Faster, Ramón! Hit the gas!
- My girl's not okay. - I heard you! Calm down!
- Marcus, stop yelling. - I'm not even yelling!
Why the fuck am I here anyway--
- [horn honks] - [Marigaby screams]
[Julio screams]
[static on radio] All units...
I repeat, all units...
[static continues] All units, there are reports coming in
of an overturned vehicle...
Come in...
- Please respond... - Please repeat... Please repeat.
- [Carmen] Do you copy? - [static continues]
[Carmen] There is a report of a bad accident in North Central.
All units, paramedics and firefighters, please respond.
Reports of multiple injuries...
Ramón, do you copy?
I know it's your last night, but they need help.
Possible serious injuries...
