Jesus told thee: Don't be afraid, just believe.

Senora Marta, God bless you.

This is Marc, my successor. l'm taking him to the hospital.

Do you want me to show you your room? - He already has the keys.

Thanks again for everything, madam.

Good morning, madam. - Oh, you already speak Spanish!

Yes, more or less. But l'm sure l'll learn lots more at your house.

Hey, l'm sorry, but l'm gonna miss my plane.

You'll have lots of time to talk.

God bless you, Doctor. Have a good trip.

May God be with you, brother!

Excuse me.

Hello. l'm supposed to do my internship here.

How's it going, Carlos?

So you're the student from Germany. - Yes, nice to meet you.

How do they say in your country: Heil Hitler!

Don't worry.

They always call me Pablo Escobar abroad.

Welcome to the hospital of humanity.

What kind of practical experience do you have?

Good question.

Okay, what can you tell me about this patient on first impression?

He's sad.

The emotional condition first. Very good. What else?

He's got a hole there.

What kind of experience do you have with bullet wounds?

Look, in Germany it's forbidden to mow the lawn on Sundays.

And nobody does, to avoid bothering the neighbours.

l think the ER is the perfect place for you.

Hector Luis, this is Marc.

Give him a short introduction to how we work here. - You okay?

Yes. - Great!

Thanks.

Hector? Who's going to operate on that man over there?

Who?

You, of course. Thought you came here to get practical experience?

Minor injuries are our responsibility.

Dr. Mendez checks on them later. - Listen, l've never ...

Do you play tennis? We're gonna play tennis some time.

Thanks. But seriously, l hardly have any practical experience with that.

Well, you studied medicine, didn't you?

Let's have a look ...

Oh well, it's not so bad. lf you think an artery might burst,

leave the bullet inside. But that's your decision.

Are you ready? Thank you.

You know what l suspect, Marc?

That the gang wars are plotted by some doctors just to test you students.

To make your lives more difficult.

There is one good thing about working here. Most of them are criminals.

That means, if you should fail,

no one cares. l'm just kidding.

Are you ready?

lt's better if you wait outside. Please.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Are you alright? - Yes.

Relax. Just open the wound a little bit further.

That's it. Exactly.

Slowly.

lt's coming out.

Calm down. - Shit!

Put your finger in it. Like this. Good.

Just block it.

Relax. You're doing great.

Like this? With the finger?

Yes. Just block it.

That's enough.

He did well.

I shouId not judge these peopIe

in the same way I judge myself.

So who are these peopIe?

They're criminaIs. But they're humans, too.

They're Iike us when we commit a sin.

So what is important, my brothers? What shouId we reflect upon?

Let us not despise these peopIe.

Let us think of Jesus and Iet us pray for His forgiveness for them.

Hi.

l'm Marc.

The Lord lives among us to bless our home

with faith, patience and love. He is everywhere.

His love drives away the darkness and illuminates doors, hallways, floors,

to make this house a good home for the doctor that came from so far away.

May our bread be blessed by our faith and our love.

Amen.

A present.

Honey, a present!

How beautiful! Thank you very much.

lt's Frankfurt.

Your house? - Almost. Look.

This is my brother,

my mother, and me, with the bag.

The whole family.

And your dad? - No. He's dead.

My brother and mother have a practice here and they live over there.

So after your internship has finished you can help out in the practice.

Yes, sure.

ls there coffee as well? - No.

My husband can take you to the hospital. - No. l like walking.

Adonis, the doctor shouldn't be walking along the hill!

No, madam! Thanks for everything.

lt's because of the neighborhood you have to pass.

Don't worry. Thank you.

Bye. - May God be with you.

Hello.

Hello!

Do you have coffee?

Tinto?

Sorry? - The coffee. Black or with milk?

Oh. Black, please.

You looking for drugs or what?

Give that back.

Easy there, boys.

Ah! Look! A doctor! - Give that back to me, please.

Stop it now, boys!

You should keep an eye on your stuff, Doctor.

We just picked it up from the floor!

Bye, little Doctor!

lt's all right. Nothing happened.

Relax, man.

Thank you.

No, no. That's on me.

Really?

Come whenever you like.

Why are you foreigners always attracted by the worst places? l don't understand.

On Sunday we'll play tennis.

Very good. Take him to the intensive care unit

and monitor his condition.

Hi!

Tell your mother, if she keeps sending these cakes, l'm gonna marry her.

l'm serious.

Gentlemen, l have work for you.

This man from the European Commission thought that we have no traffic rules.

Assist me with your fellow countryman. - l'd rather stay with my gangster kid,

Mister Escobar.

Next time l ask you to do something, l'd like you to do it without protest.

Why are you saying this?

l take the Hippocratic Oath very seriously.

lf you give preference to the poor, you're not treating patients equally.

Mom, l can't call you every ten minutes. l work at the hospital day and night.

Yes, even at Christmas.

Angelita! Come here.

Garcia Marquez? No, l haven't had time yet.

Yes, you're right. Do you hear the noise in the background?

That's a guerrilla gang slaughtering my host family.

And at the hospital, we operate only with old pieces of broken glass.

l've already been kidnapped four times, and yesterday l met Pablo Escobar.

Mom?

Mom?

ls your mother okay? - Yes. Very well.

See you later. - See you later.

Many of you, my dear brothers,

have toId me once

that you came home to the house, the flat, the room you Iive in,

and that suddenIy you feIt very IoneIy in that pIace.

You can go home now.

Only if l get your phone number.

Those are the miracles that come with a German passport.

But he's quite cute as well.

Bye.

You're the German, aren't you?

l wanted to take a closer look at you.

How pretty.

And so blond ...

Come on. - Wait, wait.

lt's a pity you have such a bad taste.

Who are you?

Me?

Belinda. Do you like my name?

Yes. But l don't understand a thing.

Tell him who my husband is.

Tell him, you coward.

El Juez, the Judge.

You wouldn't get involved with someone else's wife, would you?

Doctor?

Breakfast is ready.

Good morning. - Morning.

What's up, Doctor? Partied too much?

What's this, Angelita? Marc works a lot.

l know what l'm talking about.

He comes back home quite late. - How do you know?

He comes back quite late. - That's not a problem.

Who knows where he parties.

You don't even notice!

Angela, stop being so impolite! - Oh, come on!

Don't you see how dreadful he looks?

ls this the education we gave you?

That's enough. All right?

Let's speak today's Bible quotation.

Today's bible quotation is John 9:7.

Bye, Don Chucho.

ls everything all right, Doctor?

Excuse me for a moment ...

You like it here or what? - Well, you guys seem to like it here a lot.

Let him talk, or is he mute?

Hello.

You see, he can talk! - Hey Gringo, you like your beer?

You take it easy, huh? - Quite cool here, isn't it?

l'm hungry. Do you have something for me? - No, Sir.

lf you want to eat, there's some food in the house.

That's all the love you got for me? - Pavito, l told you.

So, what's up? - Leave him alone, man.

He's just relaxing.

Lots of work to do at the hospital, huh?

How do you know? - He's the blabbermouth.

l don't gossip. That's his favourite hobby.

No! Me, l'm harmless. But this guy here

has fucked some bitch, and now he's afraid his dick might fall off.

You know, Doctor, we can't chat right now.

l'll tell you later. Those two are just talking too much bullshit.

Okay, all right. - Wanda, one tiny little beer. - No way.

l'll pay. Look, l've got my money!

Wait, wait. l'll pay. - No, no, don't start that.

Let him do it. - ls this yours?

Dinner? At my place tomorrow night?

Maybe.

l only hope the food will compensate me

for having to see you after work as well.

You're coming too, right?

El Juez?

He's a killer.

Are you afraid, Doctor?

Afraid of what?

Well, you want something from me, don't you?

l thought you want something from me. Or why do you keep coming here?

And what is it l want?

Do you want it or not?

You owe me twenty thousand.

What? You invited me!

lf l don't do this l can't go to school.

You're really smart.

You probably charge me double because l'm German.

No, Doctor! l'm not lying to you.

My mother doesn't work, and my sister's sick.

Stop that, boy. That's emotional blackmail.

But my grandfather, he's really sick. - What? l can't hear.

Really. He has to stay in bed.

He pisses on himself.

You want more?

Doctor!

Have you found a girlfriend yet?

What are you talking about?

Wanda.

What's up?

Look, Doctor. l think you should take another way to the hospital.

Hospital? l'm not working today.

l have an appointment. l'm playing tennis with Hector. - No, no.

Do you play football? - Don't come here again.

Will you take me some day? - Sure. - Will you take me? - l will.

Listen to me.

l don't want to find a dead doctor on my doorstep.

Don't come back.

Hey, Angelita.

What's the matter?

No, l'm sorry.

Angelita, l'm sorry. l'm really sorry, but ...

Good morning. - Good morning.

Do you want some ice cream?

Marc, l envy you.

You can do whatever you feel like.

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone here.

Nice!

lt's beautiful, isn't it?

Gringo!

Gringo! Everything okay?

Let's go!

Wait, wait. He's playing, too.

Can he play?

Of course, he comes from Germany!

Okay. Are we talking or are we playing?

You know,

twenty years ago, this was the most beautiful city in Colombia.

And the most civilized one.

l'm not complaining. l like it here.

That's because you Gringos leave when things get too hot ...

l'm used to being called a ''Nazi'', but ''Gringo'' ...

Okay,

German Gringo then.

This city was really beautiful.

Now this is the city of gangsters, thugs

thieves ... ln the slums,

people get killed just to see them fall.

And you know why?

Because it's good for you Gringos when we kill each other.

You know, us Nazis would've had an easy solution for your problems.

Certainly. You already killed the ones you had to kill.

Now you could give us a hand.

Oh, young kids ...

What's up, dude? - Everything fine?

Everything alright?

How's it going? - Not too bad. May l introduce you to a friend?

What's up, man? You all right? - Yes. - Yeah, dude. Me too.

Motherfucking Gringo. Don't move.

Where's your money. Where? Where?

Where is your money? - Search him good.

Where is the money, you scum? - l'll make you talk!

He's German.

Big fish. - But he's not collaborating.

This is no use without the PlN.

Tell us the PlN.

Twelve, fifty. - What? - Twelve. Fifty.

Slow down. One by one.

One, two, five, zero.

That's the way l like it. Fine.

Come on, gringo. Take your shirt off. Faster. Pass it over.

Come on. The shoes, too. Hurry up a bit! Come on, down with the pants, dude!

That's all right, nigger.

Are you okay?

Oh no, they gave him the millionaire's ride. Go and pay the taxi, will you?

What happened?

Okay, a pair of shoes

and a shirt.

Thanks a lot.

Come on.

Just snort it up real good.

You have a good deal with the hospital, huh? They pay you real good.

Not at all.

All l got is my family, Marc. Just my family.

Enough now. Let's accept destiny with a big smile.

Look.

This one suits you. Here, you need a gun, Marc.

No, thanks. - Seriously. - No, l said, ''No, thank you.''

You're afraid of this thing, aren't you?

You're crazy!

l scared the shit out of you, didn't l?

Just imagine all the problems we'd spare ourselves if we didn't lie.

lt's difficult to always tell the truth. The more we try,

the easier we fail.

A good example for this is sitting at our table.

Our dear friend, Marc,

who just went through an extreme experience.

So what is it he did?

What did he do?

Why don't you just admit that you took coke?

Because it's none of your business.

Now he begins to be honest.

l like that.

So Marc, what brought you to Colombia?

Good question.

Look, buddy,

my brother is a doctor in a quarter similar to this one. Only in Frankfurt.

And my mother is, too.

So was my father.

He spent his whole life protecting his family from every danger.

And bam! At the age of 40, he dies from a heart attack.

That's why l'm here.

So to hell with all the responsibilities and let's just have fun.

What about you?

What do you dedicate yourself to?

l make tits.

See. And they're beautiful, don't you think?

That's true.

But it's also true that our dear friend Marc now knows

that there are teenage killers in Siloe.

And taxi drivers who steal your trousers.

There's a story you can tell your grandchildren.

Now it's your turn to be honest.

You are scared.

Of what?

Of walking through Siloe to see what's really going on there.

Yes, l'm scared.

Of what? Of stepping in shit?

lf you prefer that metaphor.

Why?

Because l could go around the world stepping in shit.

But as we were talking about honesty:

l prefer to stay alive.

That's it.

That's what? - That's it.

Then just stop talking about shit as if you had a clue.

Just allow me to ask one question:

Before you walk through Siloe,

you change your shoes, right?

So no one will call you ''moneybags''.

Doctor!

Doctor!

Pavito told me you could help me.

The doctor is finished, okay?

l'm pregnant.

Go to the hospital.

l'm scared.

And I want one of you to raise their hand and shout:

Lord, I have sinned and I want to confess.

Because I've committed a crime! Because I've been unfaithfuI!

l can't have the child.

And how am l supposed to take it away? With this?

l don't care.

Forget about it. l'm not a doctor. Do you understand?

You see, Daddy? He always brings women home.

Why are you doing this, Angelita?

Get out!

Just tell me one thing: Did you touch my daughter?

Sir ... - Dad!

Did you touch my ...? - Dad! Dad!

You son of a bitch! l'll teach you some respect!

Dad, Dad! - Get your hands off me!

Dad, wait, wait!

Dad, stop! - You son of a bitch!

Gringo son of a bitch!

Are you sure it's not a problem?

Do l have a choice?

Don't worry, you're not the first one here asking for asylum.

l'll be so happy when your internship is over.

l want you to get to Germany safe and sound.

Were you born here?

No.

Then you're not thinking of going back either.

Where to? - To the place you come from.

What do you know about the place l come from?

Nothing, but what do you know about the place l come from?

Did your family get killed, too?

The place l come from is the most beautiful place you could ever imagine.

Even in your dreams.

But they've forgotten what it means to be human.

Do you know what it means to be human?

l hope so.

What happened to you here?

Games.

With cigarettes.

When l was a young boy.

How are you?

Better?

The day off did you good.

Nevertheless, as long as you're not totally clean you'll do something else.

Tell him what he's supposed to do.

Come with me. Come on.

Hold the blanket up.

A little higher.

You didn't ask me for it, but let me give you some advice:

lf you really want to be a doctor you'd better protect your reputation.

Really?

Do you think if Hector Luis and the boss wanted a simple life

they would work at this hospital?

Hello.

Nice legs. - Yeah.

What are you doing?

Move your fingers. Move them.

Let me! - Hold him!

Everything okay, child?

l think everything's okay. We have to take him to the hospital nevertheless.

Can't you stitch it? - That fucker is one of Juez's spies.

So?

Do you want to help him, or what? - Come on. We'll take him to my house.

What's that asshole doing in there?

He's curing him! - Calm down! - But why?

Don't move, okay?

This is pointless.

Doctor, it will hurt less with this stuff.

Well, l guess you're right.

l want some, too.

Ready?

You know what, Doctor?

l've got to tell you something.

Hey! Look at me!

lt's those Juez fuckers, who shoot all the people around here.

lt's because of them your hospital is so busy.

He's only a boy. - Doesn't matter.

Pavito! Come here!

You have to decide whose side you're on.

So what am l supposed to do now?

Just in case l have to take out one of your bullets at the hospital.

Do you want me to give it back to you as a present?

Yes, l do care too.

l just give them a choice.

l take care of them.

They get older and then decide for themselves.

Shouldn't there be more than that?

Yes, there should be more than that.

But they sell drugs. And who buys them?

While you're taking the stuff with them you can give them advice.

Here, have some hot sauce.

Don't move.

He's gone. - What are you doing here?

How is it possible that a killer can just walk straight in here?

What do you think you are here for?

Marc.

Pray that he didn't see your face.

Hey! l'm serious.

Come.

l LOVE SlLOE, AND YOU?

Do you carry any guns with you?

Me? No.

As l said, he was wearing a mask. l don't know.

l don't know.

And three lemons.

Doctor,

have you seen Pavito? - Not today. Why?

No, nothing. Thanks.

Have you seen Pavito today? - No.

''Doctor, meet me at the Star.

l want to talk to you.

You will not be harmed. J.''

So what are you going to do now?

l'm going to talk to him.

To El Juez?

And what are you going to tell him?

We will see.

Wanda, l have his word.

Are you crazy, or what?

There's no reason to go up there.

You haven't seen anything, you haven't heard anything.

Keep it like that!

What are you talking about?

l've seen something and l've done something.

And l've finally found something l don't want to lose.

Wanda, l can't sleep.

To the Star!

JUSTlCE

What's up, Doctor?

How are you? - Good. - Are you carrying anything?

How many of those have you taken out?

Quite a few, huh?

Aren't you afraid of still being here? You have guts.

Not bad!

The Doctor.

Great you came, Doctor. l see you trust my word.

Don't worry. l'm not going to harm you.

l only hurt those who fuck up. Right?

Sit down.

Here, they say, ''Cali is Cali and the rest is the hill.''

As if everything down there was nice and everything up here shit.

The bad thing is, it's true. Wanna know why?

What do you want from me, Juez?

You're a weird guy.

l'd never thought of wearing a charm like that. Really cool.

This guy here is okay. He's one of us. - Good. Good.

Very well.

Let's go outside.

After all, we play the same game.

The only difference is that you heal people and l heal society. - What?

l want you to work for me.

What's up, Doctor?

Shorty, take a picture of us.

Belinda, give him the camera!

You believe the stories the guys down there keep telling you.

Those boys aren't as innocent as they appear to be.

Or better, ''were'' not as innocent. - What are you talking about?

One of these fuckers tried to kill me last night.

Me!

Gimme a break!

We look like brothers, huh? We look alike, don't you think?

He's a bit more handsome than you.

l need you up here, Doctor.

Come on. Smile.

What's wrong?

May the Lord be with you ...

And God the Almighty's blessing ...

Father, Son

and Holy Spirit be with you.

Go in peace.

lt was him.

Thank you.

Who's there?

Come here. Sit down.

Did you go to the health center? - No. lt hurts.

Wait a moment. l'll be right back.

Come, quickly.

Let's go.

Sofia!

Help me!

Third month, at the most.

Marc, we need you in the ER. - What? l have an emergency here.

l'm serious. We have lots of injuries here.

To gynaecology.

Marc, attend to this one here.

Stabilize him.

He's a killer.

Yes, but he's losing a lot of blood.

l won't treat him.

Good philosophy. Heil Hitler, Senor!

Get out.

Out!

Look.

You are a corrupt Gringo and it's all my fault.

Your time is up, Gringo bitch! ... J.

l always wanted my house to be neutral ground,

but l guess nothing lasts forever.

We're ready, senora Wanda. - Yes, l'm coming.

At least the kids will be better at the children's home.

Wanda, l'll leave you out of this. This is just between him and me.

The boys have more important things to do now than to protect you.

They've been looking after you.

Or how do you think you could walk through this quarter so easy?

Why don't you leave?

Why are you still here?

Because of you.

Look, it's not as romantic here as you would like it to be.

How's it going, guys?

What's this?

lf l find out

that you're the one that sold Pavito, l'll kill you.

l swear to God, l'll kill you.

This is unbelievable!

l don't know if l should laugh or cry.

l'll be right back.

Give me your phone.

Please.

Hello? - ls El Juez there?

HeIIo IittIe Doctor! I thought you wouIdn't caII me.

l want to talk to your husband.

He's not here.

Tell him to meet me at the ''Seven Towers'' motel, now. Tell him ...

Tell him to leave Wanda out of this.

Oh, Doctor...

And I thought you wanted to have some fun with me.

Doctor? Are you stiII there?

Yes.

Call your husband!

lf you want me to.

He'll kill you.

Call him!

He'll kill you. Not me.

Honey? lt's me.

l'm with him at the ''Seven Towers''.

No. l can't get out.

Yes.

Done.

Share it with me.

You can still run away if you want to.

You think my husband is a bad guy.

But he's not.

He takes care of me.

l'm his princess.

l thought you fucking doctors were obliged to help.
