Who do you think they will eliminate,

young man?

What?

Who will they eliminate?

From here?

From Big Brother.

Day 65. Chema begins to suspect

that he's living in a TV studio.

The confinement has started

to wreak havoc with Ghana's sanity.

Who are you waiting for, young man?

I'm dying.

Young man -

- I'm dying.

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

Don't say that.

Young man, don't say that.

Don't say that.

No, I'm not dying.

I'm no! dying.

No, I'm not -

- What is your name?

- We've been here five minutes.

Mister, you can't go in.

He was here.

He left (his morning or last night.

He's been here twice before.

Today he was scheduled for a colonoscopy.

His liver is like sandpaper, man.

We told him the first time,

but there's nothing to be done anyway.

- Leo.

- Yes, Doctor?

Did you hear from that guy Epigenio

who was in Ward Three?

No, Doctor.

The last time he was here,

they lent him a guitar,

and he sang a birthday song to Leo.

He couldn't even walk,

but he was hitting on her.

That was his bed, over there.

Are you all right, man?

Come here, let me take a look at you.

He was here.

The tiger?

Have you ever stood in front

of an enormous tiger roaring in your face,

feeling his breath?

You know that he could

tear your face off in one bile...

and there's nothing you can do.

Have you felt that?

No.

Well, that's how I feel,

but without the tiger.

I'm afraid I'm going crazy.

When I was doing

my social service in Pitaya,

I was on the bus going there

for the firs! lime

when two guys stopped us up

in the mountains aiming guns at everyone.

Right here at my temple.

And the women were screaming.

One fainted.

F***ing panic everywhere, really bad.

The bastards.

Anyway, about two weeks later,

when I was working at the clinic,

they brought in a guy

with a gunshot wound in the stomach.

The guy was bleeding out,

he wasn't going to make it.

They put him on the table.

I opened his shirt and cleaned him.

I turned to look at his face,

and he was one of the guys

who held us up on the bus.

The guy who held a gun lo me.

- I looked at him -

- Excuse me.

- Are you a relative of Mr. Epigenio?

- Epigmenio.

They left this for him at the reception

and I don't know how to reach him.

Could you give it to him?

Doctor, they need you in the ER.

Thanks, Leo. I'll be right there.

You're not going crazy.

It's called a panic attack.

It's very common.

Take a vacation.

Go lo Veracruz with your girl.

You need to get some rest.

CHAPULTEPEC ZOO:

SECURITY GUARD:

- Is the zoo very far?

- Yes.

- Maybe he's working there.

- Yeah?

He ran away from a colonoscopy

to go to work.

We'll go see if he's there.
