- Diego Martínez? - Here.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- Benjamín Gutiérrez. - Here.

- Here. - Thank you.

Topoyiyo.

SAN LUIS POTOSÍ YAPAKEN MINE

Here's yours.

Ignacio Villalobos!

- Thanks. - Go ahead.

There's some missing, boss.

I deducted it for the excavator that broke down.

Let's see if you keep covering for whoever wrecked it.

- Patricio Gómez! - Coming, boss!

If you don't maintain the machines, they break down.

Look, you'd better leave now,

unless you want me to dock half your pay next Friday.

Go on.

Hugo López!

Look, are you some kind of a thug?

Here, boss.

- Thanks. - Diego Martínez!

Hey, hey! They're arguing over there!

Did they dock your pay too?

You know who wrecked the excavator.

Just tell us.

That's what the boss wants, for us to fight each other.

Are you going to tell him?

You're going to keep quiet, Topo.

You'd better get your things.

We're running late to get to Mexico City before dark.

- Are we really going? - Don't back out.

No, that's not it. I just wanted to know if it was just the two of us going.

For now, yes.

- They are fighting! - Look.

Come on, the tough guys are coming out now.

- Come over here! - What's going on here?

Enough!

What is this? What now?

I'm sure that idiot wrecked the excavator.

I'm not taking a pay cut because of a junkie.

Come on, asshole!

I'm going to bust you up, man.

Come on.

Nothing's going to happen here!

Come on! Everyone go home!

Or are you coming with Moy and me to help in the city?

Come on.

Go, because whoever stays behind is going to Mexico City!

- You're going to the city, right? - No.

My family actually wants me at home.

Do you want me to tell them you broke the excavator?

I've seen how you show up every day.

That's called addiction.

How long have you been using?

Three or four months?

- What do you know, huh? - Enough! Stop!

I was just like you at your age.

Do you want your daughter to grow up with a drug addict father?

Do you want to keep wasting your life?

Or will you come with us to do something worthwhile?

Come on, let's get your stuff.

EVERY MINUTE COUNTS

Ángel!

GENERAL HOSPITAL RUBBLE ÁNGEL AND IGNACIO

Okay, I see a light. Wait a second!

Ángel? Ángel, is that you?

36 HOURS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE

Ángel. He's here! Come quickly!

Ángel, hold on.

Hold on. We're coming for you.

Get people. We need to brace it!

There's a lot-- He's alive!

Ángel, hold on! Ángel! Ángel, I'm here.

Hold on, okay?

Quickly, please!

Move, move, move! We don't have time!

Ángel!

That's it. You're alive.

Take the baby.

- Is it alive? - Sure, sure--

Wait, give him a moment.

A stretcher, please. Hurry.

A stretcher.

A fucking stretcher!

Ángel!

You abandoned him, and now he's dead.

Careful. He might have broken something.

- Help us, please. - Yes.

- Slowly. - Very slowly.

Dr. Carlos is dead.

He's dead.

His lungs sound fine.

Who am I?

- Turn to the other side. - Pass me the baby.

We need to check him.

You'll take care of our son. Now and always.

It's okay.

Don't take my baby away.

Push!

Stay calm.

- I'll take it. - To your right.

Your right.

- That's it. - Help me, please.

- Slowly, slowly. Do you feel any pain? - Yes.

- Where? - Everywhere.

It's not breathing.

Okay. I'll check your ribs.

I need you to breathe.

Come on, come on.

Yes, I know. I know.

I need you to help me.

We need to get him on the stretcher and take him to the cafeteria.

Yes, sir.

It's okay, it's okay.

Easy.

Ángel.

- We're taking you. - Yes.

Help me, please.

Help me!

One, two, three.

- There you go. - His head.

My baby.

Although in some collapses, like the one in Tlatelolco,

government support is already present,

in others, like CONALEP, this support is minimal.

Only one person has been found alive among so many dead.

Due to the lack of government aid,

citizens remain united and work tirelessly.

One, two, three!

CONALEP ALICIA AND PEPÍN

We need to get alcohol.

I could use a little drink.

From the pharmacy, dummy!

Now you guys move over here. Let's pull together from this side.

Darío!

Need help?

No, no. Keep going.

Up. One, two, three!

Help is here!

Help is here!

Come help unload this.

- Hello! - Good afternoon!

- Or good evening, huh? - Yeah, almost.

We heard on the radio that you needed help here.

- Let's see if we can be of any use. - "Any use"?

- Very much so. Thank you very much. - Let's go.

Guys, help over here!

Come on, let's go.

Let's move. There it is. That's it.

There.

Over here.

I was thinking of making a tunnel there, in that hole.

I don't know. They call you Topoyiyo, so you must know more about tunnels.

No, man.

I'll tell you about the nickname later.

But...

I have an idea that's way crazier than digging a tunnel.

GENERAL HOSPITAL CHAVE AND CAMILA

Come on. Don't be mean. Let us through.

Sorry, but you can't.

I'm just bringing things for the doctor.

Come on.

Okay. Quickly.

Thanks.

- Careful. - Slowly.

- Careful. - Thank you.

- No, no, no. Easy. Wait. - He's okay.

- Yeah? - He's okay.

- He's okay? - Yes.

He's dehydrated, but...

- We need to raise his temperature. - I'll take this off. Carefully.

- Careful. - I need...

What are you talking about?

- No... - You need to rest.

I have clean clothes here.

Another tremor is coming.

No, Doctor, relax. It's over, we're safe.

- There are newborns still alive. - We'll see to that.

Relax.

- I'll put the blanket on to keep him warm. - Put your arm in.

- You're okay. - There's going to be another tremor!

- Be careful! - Doctor!

- Watch his head. - Careful.

Did he pass out?

- Yes. - He's okay.

- All right, help me lift him. - Yes, Doctor.

- Please, be careful. - Let's go!

Yes, sir.

To the cafeteria.

No, not the cafeteria. My car. I'm not leaving him here.

Listen to your brother.

There are people buried alive. Let them continue the rescue.

The rescue is on hold until the firefighters arrive.

It's for their own safety.

Don't you see?

There are donations for the victims at the corner.

That's going to get infected.

Don't jinx it.

Hey!

You can turn on your helmet lights like this.

I think you should go tell your family you are okay.

They must be worried.

Well, yeah.

But I'm coming back, okay?

I know.

- Pepín, go for it, please. - On it.

- We need to break this slab. - On it.

What's wrong, Pepín? Not like that.

Look, you have to pierce the concrete, not caress it.

I'm doing my best.

Hey, look.

Come on, guys, I don't want to take your eye out.

But you make it look so easy.

- Just experience, Pepín. Go for it. - Just experience. Okay.

- Like this? - Let's go.

Give it some strength. Go for it.

That's it! See that? Excellent.

Come on, guys! Let's get to it!

How do you feel?

What's this?

You weren't in your right mind.

Rosario is in there,

and the newborns.

So, they only pulled me out because I'm your brother.

You should be a little more grateful, don't you think?

I am grateful.

You don't know what it's like to be--

Hey. Hey, hey, Ángel.

Hey, you're safe here.

Come on, stay strong.

Stay strong, huh?

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me. I'd never leave you there.

I know. I'd never leave you either.

But, Nacho, I have to go back to the hospital.

Nacho, our lives aren't more important than everyone else's.

I know, but you can't make me feel guilty for protecting my own.

No. I want to do the same.

Please take me to the hospital.

No.

- Please, take me. - No, Ángel, not like this.

You're not thinking. You're confused.

I'm sorry.

Can you help us?

SURVIVOR TENTS CAMILA

What happened to him? What's wrong?

Don't move. I'll find Dr. Carlos to check him over.

Yes. Okay, over here. Come. Sit down.

Rest a little. They'll take care of you soon.

What happened to him?

- Do you speak English? - I can get by.

- Hey, this is illegal. You can't do this. - You're coming whether you like it or not.

What did he say?

Rest, we'll get back to it again shortly.

- Do you want a mask? - No need, thanks.

Okay. So, gentlemen--

Put it on. You're going to need it.

Gentlemen, please, one more time.

On the count of three, okay?

- Let's lift this. - And on one, two, three.

Up!

There! Lower it.

Don't worry, buddy. Everything will be fine.

Are you okay? Buddy?

Give me a mask, please. A rag, anything.

I told you.

Sadly, I have more experience with this than you.

Here. Put this on.

Okay, man.

We put perfume on it.

The smell is unbearable.

Come on, help me lift him.

Sol.

- Come on. - All right. Let's keep going.

- Excuse us. Careful. - Keep going, guys.

You never get used to this, but you have to keep going.

Sometimes, you think about their families.

Even more when they are just kids.

You know?

I imagine that

if one of my relatives was down here...

Do you want to put the hat on?

- Hey, you. Hi. - Okay.

Ready? One, two, three.

...I'd like to know where they were.

For someone to get them out.

And cover them with a sheet.

To treat them with respect.

We are searching for survivors.

And, hopefully, we'll find as many as we can.

My experience is that we won't always be that lucky.

But finding the dead is important too.

You're going to hurt yourself.

Where are we?

I'm going to handle something for work and be right back.

You should've left me at the cafeteria.

I won't be long.

Like a little dog. Here.

- Waiting here, right? - It's for your own good.

Tomorrow, when you've calmed down, you'll be grateful.

- Good evening. - Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

- Good evening. I'm the director. - Ignacio Zambrano, a pleasure.

- The guys are already here. Please. - Thank you.

Sorry for the delay, but I had a family issue.

- You know. - How are you?

But everything's okay?

Yes, everything's fine. Thanks for asking.

Things were pretty rough, right?

I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, or the president's.

Okay, guys, shall we start?

Please.

Did they explain what we're doing?

Not really.

All right, this is a video for FIFA.

You're going to help us make sure

that next year's World Cup stays in our country.

But they already announced that, right?

It's just a reminder.

Thank you again.

Your attention, please, everyone.

I know right now we would rather be with our families.

But we're doing this for them and for our country, for Mexico.

So, thank you all for being here.

Go ahead.

Okay, guys, everyone to your positions, please.

Let's do this.

Camera three ready.

Ready? Silence. Silence, please.

Rolling in four, three, two...

As you know, our country is going through a very tough time.

Families have lost their homes or workplaces.

Some have even lost their lives to this terrible tragedy.

If we love soccer so much,

it's because it's always had the power to unite our country.

Now it can also help us--

I can't.

- Sorry, but I can't. - Okay, cut. Cameras, cut.

- What's wrong? - I don't like it.

What don't you like?

I'm uncomfortable reading off a cue card. They don't feel like my words.

And sorry, but I don't agree with what it says.

- What? - Honestly, neither do I.

Look, we don't have time for this.

You two speak for the Mexican government. Not yourselves.

- No one told-- - Everyone here made a commitment,

and I thought you two did as well.

No one told me I had to come here and lie to people.

Exactly. That's what we're doing.

- Wait-- - Lying. Sorry, but I'm leaving.

Wait, Rodríguez, Medina.

You two are exceptional soccer players.

That's why you are on the national team.

- Could you give us a moment, please? - Of course.

At the Secretariat of Tourism, we can help you gain more visibility.

You should be playing in Spain by now.

The right people need to see you.

Look, sir, I know you're very important.

But don't think we'll sell out, okay?

Look, what do you want?

To say it in your own words?

We'll change it. Just say what we need.

- Earthquake! Everyone evacuate, now! - Careful with that light!

Let's go!

Move! Quick!

Help me! The babies!

Help me, please!

Get away from there!

You first, you first.

Let's get out of here.

Victoria, the gas tank.

Get out!

Don't stop. Let's go!

Help me hold up the exit, please!

Don't run.

It's okay!

Everyone, stay calm!
