They call me Parca -The Reaper- because l bring death.
lt's what l get paid for.
lf l'm at your door, your time's up.
lt's always somebody's time.
And today...
lt's my time.
Somebody, help me!
Buitre!
- Where were you? -You gonna let me die, man?
What the fuck happened? You're shot.
Let's get them -Leave the chick.
Tito, don't leave me, please
Tito? What the hell, Parca?
Grab her and stop fucking around.
Watch it, man. You're getting blood on my new shoes.
Doctors responding to their union's request, public hospitals today...
lt is now the Zero Hour foreighty percent of medics nationwide...
We are suspending all services and can no longer guarantee a patient's life.
lt's the first time in Venezuelan histoy that a strike of this nature occurs.
Emergency Rooms can not be abandoned by doctors...
Constitutional law forbids it.
And those doctors will be held responsible for what happens.
The Government has proven it self incapable,
And what is going on at this hospital?
My girl fell down and they refuse to see her.
- And are there doctors here? -Yes, there afe.
l think a person's life is worth more than what these doctors are asking for.
Union leaders assure...
that unless salay and work condition demands are met...
the doctors will remain on strike.
Sugar, l'm gonna kiss parts you didn't know you had.
Cura!
Gotta work, baby.
Give me a hand.
Put her on my bike.
Watch it.
- We're not gonna go kill'em? -We're going to the doctor first.
Tito, l can't do this.Tito?Look at me. l'm here.
We're gonna take you to a doctor and you're gonna be fine.
You gotta trust me, ok?
Come on, Parca, let's go.
Put your arm through here.
You sure you can ride like that?
Today's stoy centers on the medical strike.
A strike that will leave thousands without health care.
A strike occurring during a cholera outbreak.
We go now to our correspondent,Veronica Rojas...
who is live at the Municipal Hospital. Go ahead, Veronica.
Today we witness the clash of two protests.
On one hand, public-sector doctors are on strike...
until the government approves a salay increase. Gather at clinics and hospitals...
- Protesting the lack of medical attention. - Let's go.
lf we didn't get to you,you'll have to wait 'till after the strike.
There you go.
'There you go?' Aren't you gonna give her an IV or something?
Lose the diet pills,get her a milkshake.
Let's go, we're late.
You people have no compassion.
l hope that mob gives you what you deserve.
Ma'am, please.
Careful out there, if you get hurt,we won't be here to help.
Weren't you on the lookout?
l heard the shots -When l got there,Parca was carying that chick.
But l've never seen her.
Move it, we're running late.
l iust finished a 48-hour shift.
And l've been lying on the beach all day?
Sit up. l want to ask you something.
What did you run out of last night? Sutures?
And cotton.
So...
So l don't feel like fighting all those people out there.
Don't l fight enough in here?
lf you're not going to the strike,then go help those patients.
Pick a side, damn it!
Here comes the doctor.
Let go!
Out of the way!
Nobody move.
We're closed for the strike!
Move it.
Buitre, we're going in.
We're on strike! Take her to another hosp...
Stay where you are.
- Doctor! -Get back here.
Where's the fucking doctor?
Help her!
l can't. There's no trauma equipment here.
Please, help her. Help her
- That way. -Move it, cocksucker.
We need a doctor out here
Shut up, so do we.
What happened?
Can't you tell? She got shot.
Did you monitor your pregnancy? -Yes.
How many weeks? -Thirty three
Grab this. Hold it there.
Fetal heart beat is irregular, but l can't operate here.
You need to take her to a hospital.
What about the strike?
So take her to a private hospital.
l'll call an ambulance
Grab your shit.l'll get the ambulance.
Buitre, do your thing.We're out.
Cura. Let's roll.
Who called the cab?
This way, pal. Easy, l iust started my day.

She's bleeding to death.

Take the shoulder.

- No. What are you gonna do? -Don't wory.
You're gonna be ok.
On three...
One, Two... Push!
That's it.
God fucking damn it!
Let's leave her with the cops.
Move it.

Do it.
Done.
Fuck!
Hold her.
Push!

My baby...

Hello?
We're headed to the Jose Gregorio Hospital.
Tell the kids there's gonna be a party. The pi\code(0144)ata they keep.
Just like that.
See ya', sadist.
Sory, Mrs. Isabel, would you mind asking how Milagros is doing?
- Why don't you ask? -They won't give me any information.
Oh, that's right.They only give it to family.
As it should be.This is a family matter.
Hey, Ladydi... Iook at me.
- What the fuck is happening?- She's lost too much blood.
- Do something!- l'm tying!
lf we don't get to an O.R, she's going to die.
Watch the road.
Watch out!
Hold it there.
Nobody move, we're the real deal.
Hit the floor.
Outta there.
On the ground!
Hey, no yelling.We're in a hospital.
Ready, Doctor?
Five, four, ready.
What's happening?
Right here!
You can't be here, this is a sterile environment!
The quicker you save her, the quicker l Ieave.
Eveybody, get to work.
- You, come here. -Move it, lady.
She's having difficulty breathing. Do you have an incubator?
Get a blood type screening.
Gunshot wound to the right abdomen and has placental retention.
l need four units of blood.
Where you going, Doogie?
Mrs. Flor, get the doctor some scrubs.
Wait, l'm not a surgeon. l haven't done this since my residency.
Go change.
Damn it.
Pressure, please.
lt's ok, we're taking care of you.
She's lost a lot of blood.
My baby?
Why are you all covered in tattoos?
You stole this?
No, l earned it.
l'll take care of you.
By stealing?
Please
You going to Caracas? -l need the money.
- And do what?- Don't know. Clean houses or something.
So? l'm fourteen.Want me to go teach?
l'll give you money, when my mom doesn't need it.
- You're such a player. -l would be if l kissed you.
But you won't.
- How do you know?- l know you, Tito.
You dare me?
Go ahead.
Preparing to extract the bullet.
lnitiating laparotomy.
Pressure falling... 70 over 50.
- Carla, start another unit. -We're all out.
What do you mean? -Because of the strike.
- God damn it. -What's going on?
Give it to me straight.
We're surrounded by pressurized gas. You shoot, we all go to hell.
Calm down. She's lost a lot of blood, so the alarm's going o_.
We're taking care of it.
Move it.
You too. -Speed it up.
- Hey, sweet thing. -Don't touch me!
Don't fight it, baby.
- Let her go! -Why, you gonna kill us with your Rolex?
Love it.
Buitre, what should l do withthe ones up here?
Party's on the ground floor,not the penthouse.
Damn it, Ponce, move those people, Chief's here.
Morning, Chief.
l ordered the blueprints, and they're setting up a direct line.
l know it's the holidays,but who sent the Gringo?
lf you don't like me, you won't like my replacement. Ponce, tell his mom to come pick him up.
Chief, l'm ready. l've studied all the recent kidnappi,ngs on the Prados case cause --
They ask for anything? -Not yet.
Get me some co_ee. None of that American watered down shit either.
Ponce, what about the coffeel asked for an hour ago?
Get it done.
- Parca, we got cops. -Watch the old man.
Anyone gets feisty,you shoot'em outside.
There's some weird gases in here.
You hear that, old fart?
Guys...
We're willing to hear to your demands.
Gang, stay cool, we've buriedmore bodies than any cemetey.
Chino, get to the roofand deliver us from evil.
You got it, Sensei.
All phone lineswill connect directly to me.they were disconnected from the inside.
Cura, stay in the O. R. Prince and Junior, seal the entrances.
l'm all over it...
Got the guns from the guards, radios are distributed, hostages restrained...
- How do you take it? -Damn...
See how things change now that you got a partner?
...but Margaret,this is way more interesting.
How do you know? -l got the scoop.
So? -This kidnapping is going to be huge.
- Only if we're first. -No one's even here yet.
l'll talk to the director, don't make me regret it.
- Great. -You're on in five.
Thanks.
Jesus, you puttingon make-up or what?
What's the rush, baby?. Let's roll.
- You guys smoking up? -What? Vero, l quit that stuff.
Listen, you may have no ambition, but l want to be someone.
And today we have the stoy no one else has, so stop fucking around.
Know what? l saw this movie. Didn't like the ending.
Baby Jesus, this is the stoy thatcould take me - us - to CNN.
lmagine us getting out of this shithole...
and landing in California.
Hollywood...
The waves...
Baywatch!
What about the visa?
l'll get one for you and your mom.
You hear that? You ain't coming...
Move it, Jesus.
No. Not HAY-SUS.
Call me GEE-SUS.
GEE-SUS?
Of course, baby. Gotta get used to the English.
Otto, they're iust doctors...
Go tell them to open the ERs while we analyze their proposal.
l don't care where you get the money, just take care of it.
l don't want any casualties.
-Nice bikini.- It's for Laura.
- Where is yours?- l'm not going. You take her.
Honey, we're going to havea great time. Your friends...
No, your friends.
Pilar, honey...
lt'll be good for you. When's the last time we did something fun? -Pilar.
Did you finish the other one?
- Almost, let's have a look.- Such a cutie.
lt's a little big, but l'll fix it.
Come on Miss Laura, let's get your water shoes.
Talk to me.
We are at the Jose Gregorio Hospital...
where a massive hostage situation is underway...
possibly provoked by the medical strike.
As you can see, police have secured the perimeter.
That guy was scared shitless. -Not as scared as Tito.
- The kid ain't worth shit. -Chill, man...
Didn't you chicken out on your first gig? A good necklace, 30.
Here's five, get lost.
But l learned that for a life, you could get much more.
She needs a blood test from the lab.
Her eyes are too yellow.
She has a blood problem.
Who's tying to pull some shit?
What's your blood type?
We can't use his blood. Who knows what it's got.
- Relax. You're the father, right? -None of your business.
lt is. l need to know if that baby has an RH incompatibility.
What?
lf the mother's blood type is negative and yours is positive...
Look, the baby could die! What's your blood type?
l don't know!
She needs to get to a Pediatric Hospital for a transfusion.
l can't fucking work like this!
Now you're a thug too?
You think this is all free that you can iust trash it?
Wait till you see the lobby.
What do you want?
Blood.
We interrogated witnesses at the clinic. - And?
These guys are hit men tying to save some pregnant chick.
So now hit men save lives. How nice.
They call the leader ''Parca''.
- Mulatto, approximately thirty... -And?
And he tattoos himself with the names of his victims.
What about the girl?
Lady Di, like the princess. Classy, right?
Handle the press. Watch what you say.
Ten four, Chief.
Let her through.
- Excuse me.- Stop right there, Miss. - Well, actually.
- Can l interview you?- We're not disclosing information.
What happens between us can stay between us.
Come on.
Give me three minutes.You don't have to reveal details.
O2:1 O Two minutes, and no questions.
- Thanks, Chief. -Lieutenant.
Great. You'll tell your men to let my camera through? -You're just a little shiny here...
You want some of this? - Excuse me?
Makeup, silly.
No, don't need it.and fix that hair, all right?
All right.
Oh... will you let your men know?
Thanks.
Mr. Sheriff, press.
You saw the okay. Hury. Dollars, Jesus, dollars!
Take off your valuables.
l don't care if was your great-grandma's or if it's fake.
And turn off your cell phones before you hand 'em over.
Pleasure doing business.
Move it.
Heads down.- Hury it up.
- Some things even God won't forgive. - Relax, lady...
this is for the poor. Meaning, us.
Esteemed viewers...
You're about to see exclusive footage from the hospital kidnapping.
- Go ahead, Veronica. -Thanks, Margaret.
We're at the scene,where a massive kidnapping is underway.
As you can see,we are the first to arrive.
No word yet from the authorities...arrived in this taxi...
whose interior is covered in blood.
And by the mural, you can see a white motorcycle.
- We still don't know how many -Get her out of there!
Help!
Hold your fire.
You can't hurt us. We're press.
- Shut her mouth! -Don't break my Camefa, man.
What the fuck's going on here?
They were gonna put us on TV. But l took care of it.
We iust witnessed the kidnapping of our own reporter and her cameraman.
Help!
lt's like this strike is turning the county more violent by the second.
That was a subtle move.
What'd you want me to do? They get us on TV and we're screwed.
Especially you with your tattoos.
We don't know what's happening in there, why they've taken the hospital...
Parca, this is fucked up.
How the hell are we gonna get out with all those cops?
And now these reporters?
You hearing me, man?
- l'm calling because my son was run over. -Oh, dear.
They turned him away from the Municipal Hospital.
You're another victim of this terrible situation, and we'll ty to help you.
Grab your camera.
We're ready, thanks.
They have our signal, sir.
Veronica, we're live in five.
l'm going to need that light, to warm the baby where one of the doctors...
We are with one of the Doctors...
has an important message.
Yeah, l'm... Dr. Ricardo Cova, we need all open clinics...
to send us six unitsof type -O- negative blood...
and any saline solutions that...
Careful.
Sir, why have you taken this hospital?
l know nobody wants to help me.
But the blood isn't for me.
lt's for this baby and her mom, Ladydi.
Hospitals go on strike, and the ones who suffer are the poor, like her.
Rich folks go to their private clinics while we die on the streets.
To show l'm not so bad, anybody who helps me by bringing blood...
l'll help them too.
and have no money...
Come here, and you'll get treatment. You'll get help.
Today's for the poor people, and it's on me.
For evey sick person that enters, l'll release a hostage.
That was an exclusive for ''Margaret in the Morning''.
You heard the leader of the...
- Who's in charge here? -Afternoon Governor, l'm -That's why l'm here.
My apologies. That was... - Where are the snipers?
First we exhaust all possibilities for negotiation.
We're doing well. He's talking about freeing hostages.
ln exchange for patients? No way. No one else goes in.
lf patients can get in,so can my officers.
- Once they're in they can -What, count his tattoos?
The sooner we end this, the better.
l thought that'd be clear to you.
l don't want a single casualty. Not even One.
Excuse me.
They killed my mother. Like she was some dog.
For a damn purse.
Calm down. -How am l suppose to calm down?
You want to stay here?
Did you like it? -Shhh.
Ouiet. You'll wake up my grandma.
Sory.
And, yes. It's the best gift l've ever gotten.
What's that shit you pulled on TV?
How we gonna get out of here without them asking for your autograph?
Don't wory,we're leaving with the hostages.
Yeah, cause you and look like doctors.
Junior, Prince and Cura leave with the hostages.
Chino, you and l will go on the chopper with Ladydi and the baby.
Tell me something...
Did that bullet hit your arm, or your head?
This ain't a Hollywood movie, Parca.
Who's gonna take care of this? You, or me?
You do your thing, l'll do mine.
Move it.
Take their uniforms off, clean the blood stains.
Prince, separate the families and tie them up.
You heard him. Raise your hand if you're here with family.
And don't lie, we got your IDs.
Didn't you two come together?
- Don't touch me. -Get over here!
Eveybody face down!
Get over here!
Sew me up, doc. And don't pull anything stupid.
Heads down.
- Stop! -Don't touch me!
Wake up, Doogie Hauser. Wake up. l haven't slept in 48 hours.
l don't need to keep saving these animals.
Watch your words, Doogie.
Did you forget the Hippocratic Oath?
You think Hippocrates knew what it was like to work in the slums?
First year of my residency, a kid came in with three bullet wounds.
l saved him.You know how he thanked me?
A week later, he came back to rob me. Shot me in the sciatic nerve.
Know what he told me? -''Doc, you do your job, l do mine.''
And you're gonna tell me these people are my responsibility?
Get away from there.
Damn.You had her stashed.
Get away from there!
You iealous? You fucking her, ain't ya'?
lf what you have doesn't get cured in a day, step back.
Priority is for emergencies only.
Hold it, there's no access. Step back.
- Listen -Please, ma'am, step back!
These people came from far awayand they need medical attention.
Ma'am, this is a hostage situation. Nobody's going in.
Nobody gets in. Step back.
Parca! Parca! Parca!
There's no access!
Parca...
Uh? someone's at the door.
Parca, Parca, Parca...
You're like a rock star.
What are you waiting for?
Turn it o_.
Who's got him?
See how we can help each other?
A couple more interviews, you'll be running for president.
Chino, shoot'em up!
They're hitting the sides.
They got me!
Check the trees!
Two more on my tab.
Hold your fire. Cease fire!
That's all you got, pussies?
Paramedics!
Secure the door.
You liked that shit?
Party's over already?
Admit it, you didn't want to break your face, bitch.
Those cops are crazy.
We give'em hostages and look what they do.
We ain't getting out of this alive.
l'm gonna go say bye to my Miss.
Touch some titties before l get to heaven.
What Miss?
Miss Venezuela, man.You didn't know?
She's upstairs, getting a boob iob.Not that she needs it? than my Ferrari can handle.
l'm going up.
Parca, let's bail.
Grab your stu_. -Jesus.
For God's sake, Parca, don't invite anyone else.
That's it, no one else.
God fucking damn it!
Who in the hell ordered to cease-fire? Cause l didn't.
l've got five men iniured!
Five!
We can't have a shoot out, we've got hostages and civilians at risk.
We don't know how many there are, or how many hostages they have...
and to top it off, they have a camera.
Let my guys go in, l know what l'm doing.
ls that why you always lose hostages?
But never an officer.
You don't want more casualties? End the strike.
As long as the hospitals are closed, people will keep coming.
Apparently, the O. R. taken to save Ladydi...
was being used by Milagros Mendoza...
our current Miss Venezuela, who was getting a surgical touch up.
Who would do this on theday of the strike, Veronica?
You're right, Margaret.
As millions go without health care,our county's representative...
was getting implants she didn't need.
This is Pe\code(0144)a. - l want the blood in ten minutes.
And a chopper on the roof.lf you don't deliver...to the Miss Universe this year.
Stay with us, Veronica.
When we come back, we'll bring you much more on ''Margaret in the Morning''
Which, for the first time, is also ''Margaret in the Afternoon''
We'll be right back.
Go, go.
Ready?
Proceed.
Let them through.
Walk slowly.
Hands up.
Move it, rent-a-cop.
One by one.
What is this?
You screw me out there, we'll screw you're friend in here.
Let's see your hands. Walk out slowly.
Hands against the truck.
Ma'am, keep walking.
He's more scared than a pig in a slaughterhouse.
Check this one.
You're the man! Genius.
lf you're a cop, go backcause you ain't getting in.
And leave your valuables, whatever l find is mine.
Hold the fort with all these people?
Put the doctors to work. That's what they're here for.
Otto, pay them what they want.
l don't care where you get the money, l need this strike to end.
This is Lopez.
And tell Mundovision if l see that reporter again...
l'll revoke their license.
No, you know what's illegal?
Making us believe these thugs are Robin Hood.
Soon l'll have a Parca in evey county.
Actually, get Parca's criminal record,have it broadcast eveywhere.
Cigarette?
Mrs. Pilar will kill me.
Pilar... she's not well, Salguero.
Cancer's a hell of a thing to deal with.
She could relapse at any time.
But she can't relapse...
l'm not sure l follow you, Governor.
l need a favor.
Name it.
There you go.
Alright, if l'm working, so are you.
Get the doctors and nurses untied. - This woman is sick.
Yo, scarecrow, l won't shoot you cause l don't want to spook the old lady.
You hear me?
Get up.
Take over.
Hello.
Parca?
Who's this?
Are you Parca or not?
l'm his partner. And talk fast, l'm busy.
Tell Parca l can get you out of this.
Says who?
Move it along. Ponce, turn them over.
No one's got ID.
How could we, they stole eveything.
How many thugs in there?
l don't know, 15, 20...
Evey time l turned, l saw a new one.
Why didn't you shoot them?
For what they pay me?l'm lucky to be alive.
Why are you bloody?
That car...
The chick they brought in, she gave birth in it.
lt's true. Look at my hands.He did what he could.
Get that latch fixed. Almost got locked in.
Pe\code(0144)a.
What do you have?
Working on it. How's the strike?
Working on it.
Excuse me.
Take care of the baby. l've got this under control.
No, wait. l've never donean exchange transfusion.
lf that baby dies, they'll kill me!
We'll all die someday. Nothing you can do about that.
What matters is what you do while you're alive.
Come on, l've seen what you can do.You've got balls...
and a steady hand too.
That's what she said.
Cura.
Talk to me.
Take Doogie,and careful with the reporter.
l'm protected, l got condoms. Let's roll.
Move it, Doogie. Don't do nothing stupid, Grandpa.
Lose the camera.
Drop it.
Okay, relax.
This needle's too thick. Let's go with a phlebotomy.
A phlebotomy?You ever done that?
Anesthesia.
Yes, doctor.
What's he doing?
He's making an incision at the ankle to take her vein out.
Scalpel.
Leave that. Hold her down.
Maybe we should wait.
There's no time! Grab her legs.
Damn it, hold her still!
Keep her steady. If the vein ruptures...
Forceps, forceps.
lt's okay.
Grab this.
There we go. Done.
Congrats, doc.
lt worked.
Well done, doctor.
Thanks.
Doogie knows his shit, man.
Let's go - the patients are here.
No, l need to sleep for ten minutes.
Damn it. Just grab another doctor.
l'm not scared of you.
Go ahead, killer.
l'm not like you.
You gonna make me cy.
l know all about you, Doogie. l know eveything that goes down in my hood.
l know you're from Petare,
that you work at the clinic four days a week.
And that when thugs come in all wounded, you let 'em die.
Don't be fronting like you're a saint.You and l are the same shit.
Sory, doctor. l forgot and her anesthesia wore off.
Good morning, princess.
Where am l?
Don't wory; you're in heaven now.
You guys are so funny. Please, iust one interview?
What'd l tell you?
Get the doctors on tape, make sure eveyone knows we ain't lying.
That's what we're doing.
lt don't look that way.
Get busy, Doogie!
Back the fuck up.
lt's okay, boss.No cops, we checked.
The Governor called. Says he can get us out of this.
Stop talking to that prick.
We're doing fine.
Secure the perimeter.
Captain, you're taking over.
Son of a bitch.
Great. 'Cause l was really hoping more people would show up to the party.
Gringo, if you were the Governor...
is this how you'd spend your holiday weekend?
l'm a press whore but l've got my limits.
What if your girl was in that hospital, would you be here?
She'd have to be crazy hot.
- Miss Venezuela hot?. -Miss Venezuela hot.
Holy shit, Chief.
- Go look into it. -l'm on it.
ln the last eight hours, over 35 patients have been treated.
Sory, Parca seems to be having an influence...
because many doctors have stopped picketing...
and have come to treat the patients waiting outside.
You tell me.
Let's talk to one of these doctors now.
Doctor, have you comein response to Parca's call?
Just the opposite, Margaret.
We're here to show we're against the government...
not the people.
These events are evidence...doctors endure evey day...
and we're not leaving until Dr. Cova is released!
You're getting kinda of famous. You up for an interview?
You up for some coffee?
Now we're getting somewhere. Come get me when you're done.
Honey, that pie wants to get eaten.
So l rode into the lobby, popping a wheelie like this...

Thanks.
Eveyone's getting treatment,except me.
Tell Prince l sent you.
Many of our viewers are starting to support these kidnappers.
From here to CNN, baby.
A moving turn of events...all things considered.
ls it good?
Check this scar.
Smells good.
You win.
Doctor... help me, please.
Shit.
Hold this, careful.
Grandma, talk to me, you okay?
Come here, help me untie her.
- Now! -l'm coming.
Did you know she was sick?
No, l didn't.
Now you play dumb?
You two-faced bitch. If l see you on the street, l'll...
Hey, we all know she's a fake. But let's show a little respect.
Go get a manometer from the E. R.
Sure thing.
Where you going?
That's better.
Hot soup boys. Medicine for the soul.
Nice.
Come and get it.
What's all this?
You help us, we help you.
Sugar, get one to Cura, in the O.R.
And to Chino, on the roof. May God give you double.
Forget God, give me that.
- Take this. - For me? Praise the Lord.
Take it off before heading to the hood, so nobody steals it.
Bless you, son.
Great. Check out Saint Thug over there.
Relax, l'll talk to him.
Talk fast, before he gives it all away.
Pe\code(0144)a here.
lt's Sandoval. l have the pictures.
There's 34 hostages, plus 30 patientsand 5 kidnappers.
Get Gringo on the phone.
Roger, Chief.
That can cause an infection...
But, it protects from evil spirits.
Damn. Giving away your amulet?
Where'd you park the sled, Santa?
Listen up, man. We're in deep shit.
l told you the chopper's coming.
Soon as Ladydi's ready,we'll land deep in the hood.
Nobody's sending iack shit!
Let's go, man, the boys are ready to riot.
You wanted to be the boss?
Handle it.
Or are you too damn scared?
Are these the people going out?
No way, Doogie,not 'till Parca gives the order.
What's the point of keeping her?
We have to show what's happening with the hostages.
Let it go. We're changing the angle.You're not going on the air.
Orders from the top, it's over.
But nobody else has footage of these patients.
They'll shut us down.
But what about the shots of Parca?Did you see them?
Listen, l can't put you back on. Not now, not ever.
- What do you mean? -50 families depend on this show...
What?
You can't tell me they didn't like my shots. My best work ever.
We're fired.
Why isn't she ready?
We iust need an hour.
You think l'm playing?
l want her ready in 15 or l'll blow your brains out.
- So do it already. -Parca, please.
You think you're tough, old man?
Wait, please. Parca, she can hear you.
Look at her, she's alive.
Put your hand here.
- Say hi to your grandma. -Ok, bye.
Feel that? She hears you. She doesn't want anything to happen.
Tito...
Tito, what happened? What did they do?
Tito, what have you done?
Get out.
Tito, get out!
Go.
Venezuela, it's time we face the truth...the hospital...
Parca arrived at a clinic,where according to witnesses...
he killed a guard...
an innocent and hard-working family man.
Why would someone do this, Commissioner?
Because he's a cold-blooded killer...
and deserves to be condemned as such.
You heard it here, from an expert.
You know me. l only tread on the truth.
And l'm not leaving until the truth is uncovered...
We've tried negotiating with the doctors, but can't reach an agreement.
And since health careis a basic human right...
the Attorney General has ordered...
that any doctor who doesn't return to work...
be arrested immediately.
This strike is over.
lt's not ideal,but they left us no choice.
Thank you.
Captain, get these patients to a hospital for some real treatment.
And get rid of the doctors. l need to end this media circus.
We want healthcare! We want healthcare!
Pe\code(0144)a here.
Chief, it's Diaz.
Miss Venezuela's friends have never seen her with the Governor.
Turns out, she prefers skirts.
But l want to interview more people, something's off.
Please, pretend l'm not here.
ls he there?
Keep looking.
Done.
Salguero's going in first.
Once we get rid of the press,we're going in.
l spoke to Sandoval. Entrances are blocked by hostages.
Let's send them a chopper and we'll track them.
Please, if your men don't have the balls to go into the slums...
How the hell would you would find them?
Governor, it's better than risking all those lives.
Pretend l'm not here.
l'll handle things in here if you take care of my guys out there.
He doesn't want out, but l do.
Then we're in business.
Done.
What do you want?
You okay?
What do you think?
l need another station to pick up my feed.
ls that all you can think about?
lf l can't help them,they'll kill me...
us... They'll kill us.
l got Jesus into this. It was me.
You won't solve it with this.
Come here.
Come here, it's okay.
- Hold on. -Nah, you're still fat.
You think?
Excuse me.
Prince, shave the cowlick.You're leaving.
Relax, my man.
Ain't you ever seena rent-a-cop with style?
Stop fucking around, or l'll go instead.
Relax, l'll put a cap over it,they won't even notice.
And take as much as you can cary.
Brother, did you not see how they frisked Junior?
lt's all set up. Don't wory.
What were you here for?
l was getting my pacemaker checked.
You can't even get a check-up without getting kidnapped.
Here, son.
l came with my daughter.
Careful, it's hot.
l don't know how she's doing up there.
Anybody else want soup?
She could use some.
Here you go. Careful, it's hot.
ls it good?
That's my medallion.
No, honey, Parca gave it to me.
That's my medallion!
Parca gave it to me.
l'm no thief, you ungrateful little.
Give it back!
Enough! Stop fighting.
Leave it.These people aren't worth it.
Hands in the air. Walk fast.
Move it along.
Watch yourself.
Hands up.
- Chino. -Talk to me.
- Go inside, l'll take over. -Alright.
Come on, come on.
Brother, can l get a co_ee while l wait?
l rigged the machine in the back.
Cappuccino, mochaccino, you name it.
Thanks, brother.
Hands in the air.
Well if it isn't Parca. Could you sign my casts?
Where's Prince?
Hands where l can see them.
Relax, keep walking, eveything's fine.
Walk.
lt's okay, you're doing fine!
Walk!
God damn it.
Hands up.
Keep walking!
l didn't give the order!
Didn't you want me to handle it?
Listen up, l'm the only one who gives orders around here.
Either you're with me, or you're against me.
Nobody else moves'till Ladydi is ready.
Heard that, Sensei.
Ouick.
Change of plans.
Get some scrubs.Where's the baby?
...the thug they killed was loaded with stolen jewely.
These social deviants take evey opportunity to steal...
Why the face, Chief? Brought you some food.
Any news?
Talked to the Governor's secretay.
She didn't know anything about Miss Venezuela...
but she did ask about Ladydi.
So you do like gossip after all...
Talk.
Apparently, Ladydi worked in the Governor's house.
She was fired six months ago.
Give me his home number.
Open your eyes, Venezuela...
this kidnapper you think is the Robin Hood of Venezuela...
is actually a hitman.
And to top it off, he tattoos the names of his victims on his arm.
What do you think, Commissioner?
l handled a case where a hitman was sent to kill a guy at a restaurant.
When he got out, his accomplice said, ''it was the guy next to him.''
So he went back inand killed the other One.
This gives you an idea...
What's wrong, baby Jesus?
Your dollars and visa bullshit...
l'm such an idiot for following you.
These guys are hit men.
...this man is an animal, if you'll forgive the expression.
You heard it from an expert.
Parca is an animal. We'll be back.
Thought we had a deal.
l'm tying to help, but they cut me off!
You're crossing the line!
l'm sory!l can't do anything from in here! It's not his fault.
l swear!
What the hell is that?
The alarm! The baby.
Keep this shit upand you'll leave in a body bag.
We got cops in here.
You see any suspicious mothe_ucker, you shoot.
You're gonna keep killing, asshole?
You're pathetic.
Clothes off, now!
Eveybody strip down!
Honey, you deaf? Get naked.
Lay off the girl, man.
Leave her.
C'mon, l'm waiting.
You stashed it, didn't you, bitch?
Nobody move!
Clothes off, asshole. Now!
The lights, doctor.
You forget to pay the bill, Grandpa?
Hey!
l'm a doctor.
We're cops, follow me.
l'm not leaving until l'm done with my patient.
Cura, what happened?
Cura, talk to me.
What the hell's going on?
Stay out of it.
What?
Lady, talk to me, please.
Hands up. Slowly!
Move. Against the wall.
- Where'd you come from? -l said move!
Move it!
On your knees!
Kneel down!
What the fuck, man?
We got cops eveywhere.
l saw you on TV last night. l liked your speech.
Yeah?
Pilar's in the shower.
When the shower stops, we stop.
Land the chopper here.
Hold it. Nobody's landing anything.
Until the President relieves me, l'm in charge.
My love.
The police called, asking questions about that whore who worked here!
What did you tell them?
l'm six weeks pregnant.
What do you think?
What did you say?
l said l fired her for stealing! Should l tell them the truth?
Pili, calm down.l'll fix it, l swear.
How much do you want?
Love, bring me a towel?
l don't want your money.
l already have a family!
l'm waiting for the towels.
Look at me!
l have enough to deal with.
Pack your things and leave.
l survived one crisis, l can't survive another.
Especially not this one.
Gonzalo?
Pili, my love...
l'm here.
l'm freezing.
l'm sory. How was your shower?
Great. l feel much better.
l can't do this.
Pilar, give me a minute...
l'm dealing with a huge mess,l can't do both things at once.
Let me get rid of the media and the...
Relieve Paiz and Velasquez.
How's the wife?
Want to talk, Governor?
Just a second.
Ready, Chief.
Pe\code(0144)a here.
How many cops you sent, you fuck?
Parca, you're paranoid.Your guys frisked them.
l sent two to the cemetey. How many more are there?
Listen, Parca, this is out of my reach now.
You mess with Miss Venezuela, you get the high command.
Let her go,so you and l can keep talking.
Chino, do it!
What is that?
Stop. Stop!
Don't shoot!
The chopper in 15. Evey minute past that, l kill a hostage.
lt's Sandoval! Paramedics!
She's the one who talked to the cops. She had it stashed.
You knew l had it, l was always talking to the station.
- Shut up. -Lay o_ her, man.
And that ain't a camera guy. Looks like an undercover.
Parca, don't. You're a good guy, pal.
l am not your pal.
Jesus. No.
Somebody help me, please!
Please. Help me!
Ready for any call.
You, tell the officers we're entering in five.
l told you l won't allow a massacre.
Chief, l spoke to the President. Thank you for your services.
You're fired.
Good luck. - Thanks
We're entering in five...
Gringo.
- What are you doing, Chief? -l'm no longer in charge.
- What? - You want me to speel it out?
And you're gonna let him? Nobody will take orders from him.
Let's hope so.
- Chief, you sure about this? -Delta nine on the Chief.
Heads up.
Too bad l have to kill you...
what l wanted was to fuck you.
Leave the poor girl alone!
Parca!
Ladydi woke up and she's asking for you.
Buitre, do your thing.We're out.
Now what are you gonna do?
Do it, killer.
You scared?
Let them go.
l told you, Doogie. You and l are the same shit.
Were not.
Good evening...
don't wory, l'm unarmed.
Chief Eugenio Pe\code(0144)a.
Doctor, put the gun down. We don't want any more deaths.
My people came in, but they were unarmed...
it was the Governor who armed them from the inside...
he also called the army.
Want him dead?
Parca, if the army gets in they'll kill us all.
Listen, we're getting screwed by the same guy.
Tear him up.
l know he got Ladydi pregnant.
So?
lf we prove it, this whole mess falls on him.
l'll make sure you're all taken care of.
You decide. We iump them or theyiump US.
Doctor, lower that weapon.
Get to the roof.
- Why are you waiting? -They won't move till the Chief comes out.
- Then move them yourself, damn it! - Commandos!
Hold your ground.
Proceed!
Let me take Ladydi, l'll make sure she's safe.
Get me the chopper. Once she's airborne, l turn myself in.
Give me Miss Venezuela and her family. l'll send the chopper.
How do l know you won't screw me?
Cause l need Ladydi alive too.
Buddy, lower that gun. Please.
Don't listen to a civilian.
Paramedics!
Let her through.
Chief, please. Over here.
Parca has released these hostages as a sign of good faith and turn himself in...
as long as we don't enter by force.
That's all for now.
Ale!
Why isn't she awake?
Just give her a second.
She's not a radio you turn on and o_ whenever you want.
Look, you can't take her like this, she needs medical attention.
l'm going with her.
Thank you, Doogie.
Don't kid yourself. l'm not doing it for you.
You iust screwed yourself.
Let me go!
Arrest him.
Son of a bitch.
Relax. Follow this.
Your Tito's here.
Ready to hit the beach?
Eveything hurts...
and l didn't shave.
Take this shit off.
That was a hell of a Mike Tyson you Ianded, Chief.
Give this to Nascimento. l need a DNA report for a paternity test.
Done.
My baby? Where is she?
lt's okay.
Can you bring her? l want to see her.
lt's iust that... the cops got in.
ls she okay?
No.
You killed her.
- You killed her! -lt was the cops.
lt was your fucking bullet, you son of a bitch.
Duke, stop it.
No! Don't hurt me. Take whatever you want.
Ladydi?
Why me?
Tito!
Get her upstairs,
the chopper's coming.
So all this was iust some hit you couldn't finish?
Get out!
You got balls, man.
- Watch it. -Shut the fuck up!
Let go.
l thought you knew eveything that goes on in your hood?
They gave me the address, but not the name.
l didn't know it was her.
Sure hurts when it happens to you, doesn't it?
Come on, in here. Hury.
Trust me, you'll be safe here.
- Get in!- What are you doing?
- The army's coming. Hury. -No, l'm going with Ladydi.
What?
Ricardo, wait, l'm going with you!
The army's coming.
Talk to me Parca.
What's going on, Sensei?
l ain't leaving without you. We came together, we leave together.
Well, if it isn't Parca. Could you sign my casts?
Got the guns from the guards.
it was the Governor who armed his men from the inside...
he also called the army.
Want him dead?
Where's Parca?
Get in, l'm leaving. l'm not leaving without Parca!
See how things change now that you got a partner?
Brother...
Come with me, we'll dump her somewhere. You and l can keep going.
Since when is a bitch worth all this?
Only hostages here! Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Only hostages here.
You want to stay here?
Yes.
Freeze!
l'd be a player if l gave you a kiss.
Tito!
l told you.
When your time's up, it's up.
No one is spared.
No one is innocent.
No one is guilty.
And like me, there will be others.
Life's such a cold bitch.
When you finally see the truth...
you realize most still believe the lie.
Get Parca!
Some will keep fighting...
and others will grow tired of the fight.
Who hasn't got blood on their hands?
But if you're lucky...
before it's your time to die...
it'll be your time?
to change.
Well, folks, for the first time in TV histoy...
''Margaret in the Morning'' was with you through the afternoon...
and through the evening...
And we can finally say that the kidnapping...
of the Jose Gregorio Hospital is over.
And that this wave of violence...
has ended...
at least...for now.
ln memoriam of Moises ''Mc Ardilla'' Paredes (1g87-2oog)
We dedicate this movie to all Venezuelans who have fallen victim to violence
behind our guns and our differences... and that we can finally all hold hands.
