You’re in very good hands with us.

Hmm.

Mateo is an anesthesiologist at Hospital Alto Prado.

He did his residency at Johns Hopkins and has worked a lot with my father.

Yes.

He’ll be helping out with your surgery tomorrow.

Thank you.

I’ll be right here if you need anything.

Thank you.

This is Valentina, one of our nurses.

She’ll be taking some scans and drawing some blood, all in preparation for the injection therapy later today.

Mr. Sears’ vitals look good.

He’s cleared for release.

Wonderful.

Parker Sears, John Kramer.

Thyroid cancer, advanced. You?

Uh, brain.

Ah. (CHUCKLES) You win.

(COUGHING)

Sorry, they cut me open yesterday.

Took out a tumor the size of my knob.

I’m just about to start the cocktail.

Mutated natural killer cells.

They’re a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte.

Developed by my father.

Good luck, John.

Thank you.

CECILIA:
So, we’ve arranged for you to stay at a hotel.

Shall we begin?

Please, don’t move.

CECILIA:
So, Mr. Kramer…

What do you do? Like, for a living?

John.

Please, call me John.

And what do you do, John?

I’ve been a civil engineer and an architect most of my life.

Now, I… have a few hobbies.

Hmm.

Let me guess.

Classic car renovation.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(CHUCKLES) No?

No.

I, uh…

I help people overcome inner obstacles.

Help them make positive changes in their lives.

Like a life coach, yeah?

Something like that.

CECILIA:
Sounds nice.

I can’t think of anything more important than helping others.

Yeah.

Tequila.

For good luck.

JOHN:
Thank you, Gabriela.

De nada.

CECILIA:
It’s a local favorite.

You can’t drink it now, though.

Not before surgery.

“My sun sets to rise again.”

Your sun is rising again, John.

We will make sure of it.

(CLANKING)

You speak English, Carlos?

Que?

(IN ENGLISH) That’s about as good as my Spanish.

How do you say “pull”?

Pull, pull. Pull.

Jalar.

Jalar.

Excellent. Jalar.

(JOHN GRUNTS)

Gracias.

And who performs the surgery?

Dr. Ramone Cortez.

Also at Alto Prado.

He’s the best neurosurgeon in 2,000 miles.

He’s the doctor I’d use if my own family was on the table.

Now, we’ll be performing an “awake craniotomy.”

This means that you’ll be floating in and out of consciousness…

(ECHOING) …so that we can do function mapping…

This allows us to monitor your abilities, so that we don’t touch any part of your brain that might affect speech or movement…
