We're on the air.

At 12:25 a.m., Otis made landfall on the Acapulco coast as a Category 5 hurricane.

In less than 12 hours, Otis went from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane.

At least 27 killed after Otis roared ashore in Mexico.

The Acapulco that we once knew... is gone.

...Replaced by these images of devastation...

HURRICANE OTIS KILLS 27 IN MEXICO

Acapulco has been completely destroyed.

32 PEOPLE STILL MISSING DUE TO “OTIS”

And still the searching continues - for their relatives and families, most

of whom were working on boats last October twenty fourth.

AGAINST THE HURRICANE

NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE

48 HOURS BEFORE THE HURRICANE

Good morning, National Civil Protection Coordination.

We have a problem.

What seems to be going on?

I present you, "El Majestuoso".

This guy's "El Majestuoso"?

No. No.

This is "El Majestuoso".

MAJESTUOSO II

Is Wirpul. Our sailor. And this handsome fella right here?

If you need anything, he's at your service.

- Right, Wirpul? - Of course.

Who wants a piña colada?

- Me. - Me.

Me.

- I thought it was smaller. - Hey, but it looks really nice.

Me.

- Let's go. This way, please. - Thanks, thanks.

It really is incredible.

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS - ACAPULCO, MEXICO

You always make the same joke about Majestuoso.

Always works, right?

You can add all the extra you want to get em drunk

because I wanna leave early,

hm?

Where did you steal these bottles?

They're not stolen if they just got left behind.

Isn't that the same as stealing?

What's your problem?

That seem honest? Sellin liquor that's not yours?

Thing is, you have a different idea of what honesty is.

To survive we do what we have to.

How do you

think these rich kids get the money to come on their little vacations?

I think the toilet's broken.

This is what being a sailor is all about.

Well, I don't want to be a sailor.

Oh, no? Then what do you want to be?

Well, captain.

Captain.

Know what, asshole?

Guess God heard you, because tomorrow you're gonna be captain.

You got yourself promoted.

- You serious? - Yeah!

What? Who... promoted me?

Me, o'course,

I got too old to put up with this mess.

And it's already been discussed with the boss and everything.

Me, captain?

- Sure? - Yeah, you.

- That's what you wanted, right? - Yeah.

Where there's a will, there's a way, bud.

But that doesn't take effect until tomorrow, Captain.

Clean that up today.

Yeah.

Mochis, you gotta be more convincing, huh?

Come on,

look like you haven't eaten in three days.

Good dog.

Alright.

Come on, Mochis.

Find a customer I'll catch up in a second.

That's it.

Hello!

Oh, honey, look! The poor little guy's only got three legs.

Oh, you silly dog! There you are!

I've been looking for you! Don't bother that lady!

No! No, don't be silly!

He's a very good boy, huh?

But he looks tired.

It's cuz we've been walking aaall day and business... it's been very slow.

And what're ya sellin'?

Empanadas stuffed with dogfish. I bet you'd love one.

How much for everything ya got?

Good little guy... Aren't you?

This is a robbery, asshole!

Empty the fuckin register!

I'm gonna fuck you up if you don't, huh!

You hear me? I'm gonna fuck you up!

I don't mess around, asshole! I'm gonna fuck you up, okay?

No way, fucking Cándido!

You could wear a mascot suit and I'd still recognize ya.

What kinda trouble ya been gettin yourself into?

Whattaya mean "trouble?" I just can't find a job anywhere.

Maybe you could help me out with a little cash, Mr. Rafa?

Huh? Look!

I'll sell you my gun.

It's a Glock.

Don't fuck with me, Cándido!

That's not a Glock!

- The fuck it's not. - Don't know much about guns, huh?

I know plenty about guns. Hey.

Show me.

It's all clean. My dad left it for me.

Your dad left it...

It's probably responsible for two or three bodies, then.

No way! Whaddaya mean?

Don't take this the wrong way, but Chevo...

He was a real asshole of a guy.

Eight hundred pesos.

Fuckin--

What? Two-five hundred for old times' sake.

Howzat?

Nine hundred.

And your mom doesn't hear that you tried to rob me.

Two grand and I don't tell the boss who bought it from me.

One. And I won't go to mama,

and tell her you tried to sell me a pistol.

Okay, fine.

Why can't you be like your brother?

Get yourself a job that's...

decent.

As a thief, you're pretty bad.

Well, yeah.

Pretty lousy thief but a really good salesman because I came to sell

you that pistol and I only wanted five hundred.

Oh,

by the way.

That other slimeball's my half-brother, okay? That's why he's kind of...

a little weird.

See you later, Mr. Rafa!

Asshole.

The National Weather Service is issuing a warning and urging extreme precautions

ahead of Otis's arrival in Guerrero.

It's forecast to make landfall as a tropical storm

the day after tomorrow, bringing heavy rains, intense wind gusts,

- and possible high waves in coastal areas. - Did you know that?

Residents are encouraged to heed evacuation recommendations,

or to shelter in place in

non-evacuation areas affected by the storm.

Tomorrow you start your job as captain, taking care of the boat.

And you can't...

wait until tomorrow?

No, you see,

tomorrow I'll be putting towels on the lounge chairs at the Princess.

You really got a job at the Princess?

Look, Wirpul, I'll be straight with you.

No one else would... give a captain's job to someone your age.

Even less coming from the family you come from.

Find yourself a sailor for tomorrow,

get a few cold beers, some tacos, that's it.

You're gonna have a great time, you'll see.

Hey, by the way,

how are you guys doing without your dad?

We're fine.

Hey!

Captain!

Captain Wirpul!

Captain, right? You punk!

Captain Wirpul!

Captain Wirpul.

- Fuck, that was delicious, man. - It was.

This is bullshit, Mary didn't clean a thing.

Relax, big guy, she'll come back soon.

Pour us some wine, huh?

You got it.

What's up, Sasha?

We're waiting for you, baby.

Where are you guys?

We're goin til dawn. Partying all night.

Don't rule out that Otis might move from a tropical storm

- to a category 5 hurricane, with - What a bummer the paddle tennis deal fell

- winds over one hundred eighty five - through. That was a sweet little deal.

- The National Water Commission - Remember what Jeff Bezos said.

Kilometers per hour.

- The National Weather Service - How bout this shit.

- Also warned citizens. - No wonder Kevin quit on me.

Whatcha gonna do?

The storm is currently northbound, up the Pacific coast of Mexico.

The guy in charge now iiiis... Wirpul.

Hold on, he's named after a washing machine?

As it moves North, it's possible that the storm

could become stronger and that it could become even more unpredictable.

He cleans up all your shit on the yacht.

Mmm, I don't g on the yacht without your crew, brother.

A tropical storm like this always has the unfortunate potential to become

- a major disaster event. - Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man,

Storms like this carry incredibly dangerous energy that can

wax and wane at a moments notice. And it's difficult, if not impossible,

to precisely predict their impact, despite modern technologies.

At the same time, we'll do everything we can to get you accurate information.

I know who he is, he's cool, I like him a lot.

- He's cool, right? - And so he's the new captain, or what?

Everyone deserves a break. He might end up being my hero.

Yeah, I'm a fucking badass.

19 HOURS BEFORE THE HURRICANE

Mochis.

- Mom. - Hi honey.

- How'd it go? - Good.

You sold everything, huh?

Cuz Mochis saved the day.

Mochis the hero.

Something's going on, I can tell

Alright. Guess what?

What, did you win the lottery or what?

Close.

Oh, just tell me.

Finally got a promotion

Captain!

I'm gonna be Captain beginning tomorrow, Ma!

- What? - You're gonna be on watch duty.

That fucking Kevin always finds a way to screw you over.

So what? I always wanted to be captain.

But you're gonna start during a big storm? Are you serious?

Just a little storm, nothing more, mom.

That's why they're cancelling school, Wirpul.

Besides, you're gonna get so sick, sweetheart!

You always come down sick in a storm like this.

I'm the captain of a boat.

Plus It pays better... it's been hard for both of us... we could really use the cash.

Oh, Chayo.

Wirpul's got a fuckin mouth full of good reasons, huh?

You do need the cash.

Especially after you lose the house.

And again with this.

With all the sadness in my heart, Chayito.

With all the sadness in my heart,

Carmen, I tell you that none of us are moving outta here.

Oh, Chayito.

Because this is our home, too.

If you wanna sell it be prepared to buy the half that I own as wel...

If my husband let you guys live here,

it was purely out of pity.

My husband isn't here now, tho.

I need you to move outta the house by the end of the month.

Who pissed in her cheerios?

Her bark is worse than her bite.

But she's a pain in the ass anyway...

I got this house from your father.

That guy wasn't my father.

Whaddaya mean he wasn't your father?

- What, you think I had you - I'm just saying...

- by immaculate conception? - Well, he wasn't a dad.

Just shut up already.

Mochis!

- Come here, Mochis. - Come on.

- Hello? - How are you, Wirpul?

- Who's this? - It's Nico, dude, your boss.

Mr. Nicolás, sorry.

- Mochis. - Sorry, we never talk.

Because you weren't the captain... but now you are.

Hey, I really appreciate the opportunity.

Kevin told me you're trustworthy, that you're awesome with the boat.

I saw on the news that...

the storm's gonna be pretty rough. Take good care of the yacht, huh?

Of course, boss.

I'll get it prepped and tied...

real tight.

Don't worry about the storm I think it'll...

- ah pass - That's right, man,

we've got to stay optimistic. Do you have a sailor yet?

Have a sailor? No, sir.

But I'll get one soon.

Alright, Wirpul,

give me a call if anything goes wrong, okay?

I'll buy you a kilo of pastor, and whatever else you want,

a six-pack, whatever you want, so you can't say I don't spoil you guys.

Ok, boss. Thank you.

All right then, Wirpul, take it easy, okay?

Why didn't you just help me with the door?

You don't have a sailor.

No.

And Marlon?

He's busy. Another boat.

Everyone's already busy or...

they're scared.

O'the storm I guess.

I have an idea.

No fuckin way. No, no, no.

Why not? He's a good mechanic.

Hotwiring cars doesn't make you a mechanic, Ma.

I'm better off alone.

I'd rather sink alone than ask that asshole.

- No. - What do you mean "sink alone?"

It's just a saying.

Besides, he's afraid of the water.

Listen, if there's a problem on the boat he'll be there to fix it.

Besides, whether you like it or not, Candi's your brother and you need him.

Candi is not my brother.

And I don't need him.

Not that asshole... he's nothing but trouble. No... no, no.

I'm here.

Look.

What's that?

I sold the gun to Mr. Rafa.

Did it work?

Get me one, too.

Not even a fly came in, Candi.

Well,

I wouldn't come in either if was gonna

Hey, I'm being serious.

End up with my hair and face like that.

- What are you looking for, anyway? - You got any cigarettes?

Right there, behind the nail polish.

You're always yelling.

You scare em away.

You're the one who should be afraid of me, you little bastard,

you don't even respect your own mother!

Ya lose something?

I can't just smoke a cigarette outside my house?

Yeah, but what the fuck? You're on our side, aren't you?

Aren't you leaving?

- Leaving to where? - Ah! That, I don't know.

But you seem pretty chill, don't you?

Let's go, asshole. Get the bags out.

What bags, Candi? Leave me alone, asshole.

You don't have bags, then? You can borrow some of mine.

Wirpul has to watch over the yacht.

So what? You want a benediction?

Alright. Come here, my son.

In the name of the Father...

They just made him captain.

- Captain! - And he doesn't have a sailor.

And it's dangerous for him to be alone in the storm.

And she thinks

because you steal car parts that you're a mechanic now.

Yeah, asshole, and how are you a captain, if you're just the ship maid?

Your mom's the fucking maid That's right,

your mom! I'm the captain because I've got a ton of experience, man.

Please, Candi.

Wirpul really needs you.

Appears not.

You actually want me to beg, don't you!?

You should be the one begging me for a job

Not for the shit you'll be paying.

- No way. - Yeah, okay.

Cuz you're so successful with your 'business ventures', right?

Well, yeah. I'm not poor. Look, look. Whatta you have? Fuckin seashells?

Never heard of an "business man" who steals auto parts!

Yeah, shut up.

Listen man if you're not afraid of work that's... honest...

we'll head out tomorrow afternoon.

Forgive him please, Candi.

You know how proud he is.

Come on

If you don't want to do it for your brother,

do it for yourself and your mom then.

Okay, son.

7 HOURS BEFORE THE HURRICANE

You sure you don't want a sandwich?

- No, I gotta go now. - Please be careful okay?

Stay away from the water.

And bundle up, alright?

Come on. Don't worry so much. It's just a storm.

It'll be light, I'm sure.

You're going to come back with a fever.

You have a low immune system, you don't eat well, and you're so skinny.

Don't you be so afraid. I've kept watch before. I'm fine.

Yeah, baby, but never as captain.

And a captain never abandons his boat, Mom.

I'm kidding.

Of course he's not coming.

- It's Candi, wha'd you expect? - That he wouldn't leave you alone.

I won't be alone, once I get my hands on the money,

I'll hire a sailor to work with me... at the port.

Relax, Ma.

See you in the morning, Mom.

See you, Mochis.

Wirpul!

Bye, Mom.

Mochis. Come on.

Hurry up. Help me with the food.

Let's go! Come on

Hey, cutie! Hey, can I get eight with tripas to go?

And put it on the tab of the...

captain.

What?

You really gonna leave without me?

I thought you're chickening out... because of the storm out there.

Dude, I was just late.

I didn't even eat.

Course you didn't because you're lazy Asshole.

Stop being a such a fuckin prude.

You better learn to survive.

Survive by working, Candi.

You need a job that's honest.

And you think what?

That the employers you work for are honest?

Stay away from the coast! Stay away from the coast!

Take care of children and the elderly!

Otis has gone from a tropical storm to a hurricane!

It's approaching Acapulco!

- It's approaching Acapulco! - Hear that?

- Stay away from the coast! - What you called a little

- storm is a hurricane now, man. - Stay away from the coast!

Does this look like it's gonna be a hurricane?

Take care of children and the elderly!

Are you afraid?

Here are the tacos you ordered.

With you as captain?

Why be scared?

Let's fuckin go.

Enjoy your meal.

And what the fuck is that?

Are you in fucking elementary school asshole?

Shut up fucker.

Hey.

Let's get some beers, yeah?

You're not drinking on my boat

What's up, man?

What's up, Dad?

- How are you? - Hey.

- What are you doing? - Nothing, just working.

- You? How's Kenia? - Fine.

- No, big guy, wait. - Okay, asshole.

Have you seen the news about Acapulco?

Gimme a sec, chief, I'm just leaving a meeting now.

It's a hurricane.

And they're forecasting it'll reach Category three.

Is the yacht properly insured?

Yeah, yeah.

Started workin on it yesterday.

...To the state of

- Guerrero and recommended to take shelter - You did pay your yacht club

from the approaching Tropical Storm Otis.

- Tourist activities of all kinds - Have been gradually suspended,

dues for the year, right?

Call me early in the morning if you need

- anything, it's almost dawn here. - as has all local business.

Alright.

The state government's guidelines... and not leaving the house.

What do you do exactly to make money?

Ah, that's really none of your business, is it?

It's family business, asshole.

Didn't your mom just decide put the house on the market?

Come on, you idiot, she didn't just decide.

- Man. - That was gonna happen once dad was gone.

Did you see him?

Who?

Whaddaya mean, who?

Chevo.

Your father, asshole.

- Chevo. - I got everything tied down on this side.

Gonna start on the other side of the boat.

- Did you prep the whole kitchen? - They took him before I got there.

Aren't you worried?

Why? He got mugged cuz he was distracted.

Gotta be alert, ya know?

If you wanna act stupid, act stupid, Candi.

Don't forget to check the length on the fenders back there. I got these here.

I just wanna know that my mom and I don't have anything to worry about.

You know what you should be worried about, asshole?

Kevin doesn't find out you're fucking his sister, man.

- Hey, who says I'm fucking his sister? - Hey, man, rumors have fast feet asshole.

Bro, but don't worry about it, anything happens,

- your big brother'll defend you, asshole. - You're not my brother, asshole.

What?

We're watching this little fuckin thing?

This just gets us there, idiot.

That's the boat.

Wouldn't she be better off in the yacht club?

That's only for millionaires.

And what do you think your bosses are there, pal?

Man. What a dummy.

Hey. Untie the line, man.

- What line? - The rope, damn it, untie the rope!

Well, just say the rope, dickhead.

Want one?

- The fuck? - Tie the dinghy to the cleat,

and pass the rope under the railing.

- Just move it, huh? - "Just move it."

What's up, boss?

Wirpul, how are you, bro? How's everything going?

All good, boss, all good, I found me a sailor, so...

A mechanic... best in town.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Did you guys buy your tacos?

Yeah, yeah, boss, we've got them right here, thanks.

Fuck yeah.

Hey... I want to tell you something, but... don't freak out, I think...

this is going to be a little more complicated than we first thought.

I mean, you know this boat better than anyone...

and it's unlikely, but... just in case,

- tie it down as tight as you can, man. - Yyyes.

- Yes, you don't have to worry, boss. - Okay... hey... one last thing...

if anything happens... you say that it was docked at the yacht club. Got it?

- Yes. - All right.

Yes, boss.

Call me if you need anything, I'm keeping an eye on things here.

Sure.

Your boss isn't just cheap, he's a crook, that asshole.

Shut up.

- Better if we go. - No, no, this boat is my responsibility.

- Your responsibility? - Yes.

Didn't you hear that fucker?

If the boat sinks, you just have to say it broke loose from the marina.

No one has to know you weren't here when it all went to hell.

And you think

anyone will ever hire me again

if I abandon my boat?

And you think they're going to hire you again if you drown, you asshole?

For you everything's always so easy, it's always a piece of cake, Candi.

You don't give a SHIT about anyone else. The same as your father.

Your father too, man.

That's precisely why I have to do things right.

So they will see I'm different.

Yeah, you don't give a shit about anything, not a damn thing.

You never had to take account for anything.

Ya never did.

No.

4 HOURS BEFORE THE HURRICANE

You wanna help me?

My job is only to fix this bitch if she breaks down.

You tie the dinghy tight?

I told you I did.

MAJESTUOSO II

Turn that off, man.

No.

And you better hurry up, the wind's getting stronger.

Did I tell you about that asshole I met at the Palladium?

Which?

The one I met when I was working at the Palladium,

kickin out drunks.

You were kicking out drunks?

Yeah.

Well,

thing is,

one night this fuckin guy shows up.

- But you know what he looked like? - What?

Like he'd been abducted by aliens.

Do you actually believe in aliens?

What? You don't?

Real sailors always see strange lights out at sea all the time.

- They're reflections. - Oh, yeah, sure, reflections.

The phenomenon has been well studied.

Thing is,

that this fuckin guy had that face.

What face?

Of a guy who'd seen a thing that no one else has seen.

Aliens, you mean.

Death, Wirpul.

He was a sailor like you...

He worked in Los Cabos.

He told me he survived a hurricane.

He had to pull his friends out

with a hook

when they were already bloated on the beach.

And he also told me the hurricane was a Category three.

They musta been badly prepared, huh?

Oh, fuck! And what exactly are we prepared with?

Oh, yeah, a few tacos,

some fries, couple cold ones, too.

Ever been in a hurricane that's category three?

Or category five?

- No. - So then?

What?

When do we leave?

We don't know what category it's gonna be.

Besides, a Category five has never hit Acapulco.

- It's impossible. - Impossible.

People say...

it's like someone unleashed the devil.

Candi, I've already been through a Category two.

I've been through it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fucking awful, but you can handle it.

They give you a life jacket,

you're ready in case you hit other boats, but after a while it's over, man.

No big deal.

If you're afraid, then leave.

My responsibility

is to watch the boat, nothing more.

What?

- You're as fucking stubborn as my dad. - I'm

Responsible, like my mom.

Oh yeah, so responsible, going out with another woman's husband.

That's not what I heard

Well, yeah, fucker, I don't doubt it.

- Son of a bitch... - This is Marlon, on La Proeza.

Majestuoso. Majestuoso.

Come in.

- Respond. - Majestuoso. Majestuoso. Do you hear me?

- How are you, Wirpul? Over. - This is Wirpul.

This is Majestuoso two.

Over.

How's it going new captain? Over.

All smooth sailing.

Okay, turn on your lights, let's see where you are. Over.

There you are.

This is a message from the Harbor Master.

All captains

please be advised that navigation is closed to all marine vessels.

Hurricane Otis is forecast to intensify and make landfall in the early morning.

Take all necessary safety precautions.

We thank you for your acknowledgement.

This is La Roca. Understood.

This is Majestuoso Two. Understood.

La Proeza. Understood.

Did you hear the Harbor Master's message? Over.

We all heard it, Captain.

Take it easy. Over.

Hello, Johnny.

- How are you? - Calm, cool and collected.

But it's raining on our parade.

If it doesn't last long, head over here,

we brought a case of beers, I'm right next to Marlon.

Over.

Then we're close to you.

We'll see ya soon. Over and out.

Are they still saying the same thing in Miami?

Yes, but... sea temperature is six degrees above normal.

And the hurricane keeps intensifying.

You know what those signs means.

Quickly. Let's contact the President's Office.

Call a press conference and gather all the data.

We have to let them know as soon as possible so they can prepare.

Here! I brought two.

Where ya goin?

Wirpul.

You okay? I told you this was going to get shitty!

Get over there, we need to reinforce the fenders with nails.

Fenders?

Which ones are the nails?

- Hey, mother fucker, I'm talkin to you! - Tie that rope down to the bitt there!

What the fuck is a bitt?

Motherfucker you don't know shit

I don't know anything!

A bitt is a cleat, for fuck's sake!

Motherfucker I can't believe you can't even tie down a damn fender, you asshole!

You don't know what a fender is! You don't know what a cleat is!

- You don't know anything, you asshole! - Next time, bring another

asshole who can put up with all the shit that comes out of your mouth!

Wirpul!

- Wirpul! - You tied it wrong!

Get a knife!

Hurry up

Where's the fucking knife?

Over there! In the drawer!

The drawer!

Let's see.

C'mon. Hurry!

Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry!

If I cut it, we lose the dinghy!

Just do it!

Attention Majestuoso!

Be advised. There are two sailboats adrift in the bay.

Be careful!

The Trotamundos just broke from the dock and is loose in the bay.

- See? What did you get us into, asshole? - I told you to leave! Didn't I, asshole?

And how the hell am I supposed to leave without the dinghy?

You tied it up wrong,

you fucking idiot! If I'd lost my hand it would be your fault!

My fault?

You can't even take care of yourself alone!

That's why your mom asked me to come help you!

Because you're not a captain and your mom knows that!

- Get off this fucking boat already! - Stop talking shit man!

- Get off the boat, asshole! - What, asshole?

I'm fucking sick of you!

I'm fucking sick of you too! You and your fucking dog!

I fucking hate you

Fucking hell! What was that?

Wirpul!

What was that?

One of the ropes came loose!

What are you doing?

The ropes need slack, if they break the storm'll carry us right outta the bay.

All captains

- please be advised that navigation - You're not as stupid

- as I thought you were! - is closed to all marine vessels.

This is a message from the Harbor Master's Office, guys.

- Try to remember to stay calm. - You said that was impossible,

- Be careful and stay alert. - Hey! Hey!

You asshole?

Send someone to help us here at... at... at... What's the boat called?

Stop messing around, Majestuoso II.

El Majestuoso II! We need help on Majestuoso II!

You're forcing it!

I'm not forcing it! I know what I'm doing, shit!

What?

- No, no, no, no, no, no, - What?

- No, no, no, no, no, no! - What did I tell you,

asshole? You fucked it up!

See? See? It's already burnt!

Yeah but can you fix it?

No! No! It's totally fucked up, I already told you!

The other one still works!

We have to try to make it to

- shore with that one now! - No, no!

With only one, we're just going to go around in circles that's all.

Won't make it.

Get up there. Get up there.

No!

Fuck all'a this fuckin shit!

I don't fucking care if you're the captain!

I'm telling you, we gotta try jumping in and swimming to the fucking shore!

- You're fucking stupid! - What?

It's only fifty meters, man!

We can't even see the shore, Candi! We can't see it!

The loose boats that are floating out there are gonna crush us!

Even if by some miracle we make it to shore,

the waves are going to smash us against those fucking rocks!

Well, then, what the hell are we supposed to do, man?

I think that...

Staying on the boat is the safest bet.

Oh, yeah! So safe!

Like this is some fucking bunker! I feel so much fucking calmer!

Come on, take a peek. Take a peek and tell me you see land!

You see it?

- You're still pissed about the eye, right? - What?

Even if you deny it,

I know you still think it was my fault.

Whadda you mean? Whadda you mean? That was twenty years ago!

When the hell are you gonna let it go? Huh?

- I already let it go, you fuck! - Well, it doesn't look like it, asshole!

No way those ropes aren't gonna hold!

We have to jump!

We can swim to shore, it's our best chance.

I'm not leaving my boat.

It isn't your fucking boat, you get that!

If the fucking owner was here, he'd'a jumped already

It's a fucking boat.

Why is your life worth less?

Our lives, man?

- What ya doing? - Don't you feel like we're fucked?

What fucking bad luck, man!

Luck?

Man, look, luck?

Is when opportunity and preparation come together.

I've got a hundred thirty years of luck behind me, pal.

Talk to me, Wirpul.

Boss!

The hurricane's more violent than we thought! The boat isn't gonna hold up!

Come on, calm down, man, what's happening?

The hurricane hit even harder, boss!

Come on, man.

It's just your nerves, Wirpul, I'm sure it's not that bad.

No, no, no, there are a ton of boats and sailboats drifting loose, if they hit us,

we're gonna to sink.

Uuuh... No, no, under no circumstances should you abandon the boat, W irpul.

Just it's really dangerous, boss.

Alright, listen to me. The boats that are tied up next to you,

untie them so they can drift out to sea and they won't hit you.

The other boats might be too far away to do that though, boss.

So what the fuck is the problem?

They're not close enough for us to go over and untie their ropes,

but they're close enough to crash into us if they break loose.

And I wouldn't feel right about doing that, boss.

Don't be stupid, Wirpul.

Fuck, if you don't do it, another guy will.

Save your job, let them all go to hell, my man.

Yes, boss.

That's it, fucker.

Man up, Wirpul, huh? Things will calm down in a minute.

The bastard's got a good point.

We better hurry before the others beat us to it first.

Aren't you listening? It's impossible,

- impossible to swim to another boat now. - No, that's bullshit! I'm outta here!

- Hey, where the hell are you going, man? - I'm saving myself!

I'm saving myself!

You're going to drown before you reach another yacht.

I'm saving myself!

I'm not going to let you kill anyone, you fuck!

Better their families crying at home than mine!

You're going to kill yourself, you asshole!

You still think I owe you for the eye thing.

I don't give a damn about the eye accident right now!

This'll make us even, man to man, Wirpul...

We're never going to be okay, Candi, don't you get it?

We're not family!

No we're just a piece of the house that your dad had built for us!

That's all!

Don't say that about us.

You're nothing like me, Candi.

I don't need to bring others down to survive.

And today we're bringing no one else down.

Not while I'm the captain, do you get it?

You think it's easy when your dad shows up with a kid that looks like him

from another woman?

I mean, a ton of people do it, right?

But who's shitty enough to build them a house right next door?

I don't look like he does. Outta the way.

Oh, yeah, you've got the same face!

He loved you.

Yeah? Is that why he named me after the washer?

Well, that's where he nailed your mom, right?

Hey, man, I'm just saying...

That's my mom, asshole!

Haven't you seen

that movie where they get it on right there on top of the washing machine?

- Stop insulting my mom, - Okay, okay, I'll stop,

- mother fucker, right now! - man! Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah!

Yeah.

Okay.

Know why he named you Wirpul?

It's because...

He wanted to

fuck up my life by giving me the shittiest name he could think of.

Whirlwind.

Whirlwind?

My dad told me that...

when you were in your mom's belly, you moved a shit ton.

That you had the force of a whirlwind.

That's why...

my name's Wirpul?

Well, It sounded better in English

It's a great name.

If they'd asked me what to name this hurricane,

I'd'a called it Wirpul.

Not Otis.

Did I tell you about the time I saw an alien?

Yes. Many times.

You know what I think?

That when we die, we turn into aliens.

That's what they mean when

they say heaven's in the sky.

Just a misinterpretation.

Do you think

you'll turn into an alien

when you pass away?

I hope so.

Do you think my dad's in a UFO now?

At least he changed the taxi.

Don't end up like your father, Candi.

It was a robbery, Wirpul.

So then...

Wirpul. Let's do things your way.

You're the captain.

For now,

all we can do is hope the anchor stays put and the ship holds up.

Nothing more to do.

Okay. Then that's what we'll do.

Move over!

Don't you have another song?

No. I'm all outta space.

What was that?

The roof is gone.

What the fuck what...huh?

- It's over! - What the fuck's going on?

The anchor broke! We're adrift!

Sorry, I'm sorry, Candi, I'm sorry, man, I thought I was ready for this,

- but I'm not. - Cut the fuckin shit, man!

- We gotta get up to the deck! - We jump and let the aliens

- decide our fate. - Yeah! Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, this, this, and, this.

Hold on tight!

Hold on tight.

Marlon.

Hey, do you copy?

Marlon, Johnny, we need help right now. Does anyone copy me?

Wirpul, I'm here!

Did you break loose?

Yeah, yeah. Can you see us? You see us?

- Over. - No,

I can't see anything, can you see me? Where are you?

There they are!

Yes! Yes! We see you, yeah! Over. Yes. Yes.

Can you get closer? I'm going to try to...

Marlon! Marlon, do you copy?

Marlon! Do you copy?

Marlon! Marlon, do you copy?

Marlon! Do you copy?

They're not gonna answer anymore.

- Marlon! - They're not going to answer you!

- Marlon! - Let's get outta here!

Let's go! Let's go, man, now! Let's go!

Candi! Candi!

- No, no, no! Wait! - I got you. Hang in there.

- Wait, wait! - Hang om, hang on, hang on, hang on!

Hold on.

Hold on.

- We're goin below. - AAH, NOO! Wait! Wait!

Hang in there!

Let's get downstairs. Hang in there. We're goin below. We're goin below.

- Here, here, here, here. - No! Wait! AAH!

- Lemme see you. Lemme see. Lemme see. - No, no.

- Come on. Lemme see. Lemme see. C'mon. - Wait, wait!

- No, no! No, no! - Wait, wait, just wait.

It's okay, it's okay.

First aid. First aid. Where is it?

No, no.

No!

Wait! Hold on!

Start praying, now fucker.

- What? - You know what I believe in,

but I'll pray to whatever helps us now. Start praying you fucker.

- No, no, no, no, no, I'm not praying. - Why? Don't you believe in god?

Yeah, but I don't think listens to me much.

- Pray, asshole! - Which one?

- Well don't you know the Lord's Prayer? - More or less.

Hold my hand. Hold my hand.

- Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed - Our Father, Who art in heaven.

- Be thy name, thy kingdom come, thyyyy... - Hallowed be thy name.

Thy will be done, stupid asshole! Thy Will be done...

Especially in the sea, Lord, because in the sea...

I told you God doesn't hear my prayers.

Here.

What?

Don't you want to talk to your mom?

No.

I just wanna play my song one last time.

But you know what?

This isn't where we'll die.

Wirpul?

Honey?

Can you hear me?

Mom.

Oh, Wirpul.

You alright?

Yes, sweetheart.

We're fine, Ma.

I was so worried.

Are you still on the boat?

Yeah. On the boat.

I want you to please be very careful.

Are you with Carmen?

No, honey. Why?

Did something happen to Candi?

No, no, he's here.

How is he?

He's fine.

Oh, that's good!

Please take care of yourselves, things got really bad over here.

Don't fight with him.

Don't worry about us okay?

- Okay. - Are you safe?

Yes, baby.

Mochis and I are safe inside.

You guys have to help each other.

If you stick together, everything will be okay.

The Virgin of the Sea will protect you.

And tie the boat well, and bundle up,

you get sick easy, and then you'll spend too many days in bed.

Wirpul?

Honey?

Wirpul!

Wirpul!

- Take care. - Love you, Mom.

Mom?

Wirpul?

- Wirpul! - I'm coming!

Let's go.

Quickly! Let's go!

Kill him, motherfucker!

Take it easy, man.

What the fuck, dude?

Mother fucker.

Yeah wasup, Wirpul?

The worst of it passed?

Boss!

Boss! Can you hear me?

- What? - The boat's going down, boss!

Hold on, fucker.

No, no, no, no, what- what's going on, man?

There's not...! There's nothing left to do!

There's always something to do, Wirpul!

The boat is going down!

Our ship is sinking! And the other boats already went under!

Well... Figure it out, motherfucker!

No bullshit!

You wanted to be captain, right? Are you the captain or not?

I'm the captain!

And I tried! But a good captain knows when there's nothing left to do!

Look, man, calm down, okay?

You know you're like family for all of us, man.

Yeah like family?

W-

Would you send someone from YOUR... family to this slaughterhouse...

and ask them to sacrifice themselves for nothing but a fucking boat?

Come on, asshole, get a grip! Majestuoso II isn't sinking! Okay?

Wirpul!

Wirpul!

We're not family!

I have my own damn family.

Your fucking boat is sinking, I just called to make you aware!

You stay on that fucking boat, asshole.

That boat has won awards!

When have you ever won an award in your fucking...?

I'm sorry!

If I'd known this would happen I never would've asked you to be here!

Please forgive me!

I'm sorry!

Tie your life jacket on tighter!

This is it!

Jump! Jump now!

Candi! Candi!

Candi!

Candi! Candi!

No! Candi!

Candi!

Candi!

Candi!

Dispatch.

An incident's been reported in the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood.

An unidentified male in his fifties, tied up, half-naked.

Apparent gunshot wound to the forehead.

GUERRERO STATE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT

The body shows signs of torture.

You're just like your dad.

I don't look just like him.

Immediate support from forensic and investigative officers is required.

He's your dad too.

We're bringing a family member for possible identification, over.

This one probably has got two or three bodies on it.

- And he did love you. - I'm different.

We're not family!

We're just another piece of the house your dad built! That's all!

Don't say that.

Did you see him?

- The body shows signs of torture. - Chevo.

Your dad, asshole.

Chevo.

They'd already taken him by the time I got there.

We're not family!

Maybe my boat just went under...

but I didn't lose my crew!

Don't talk. Wait.

Try to stay awake.

Stay awake.

You have to stay awake.

Forgive me.

Forgive me for what I said to you.

For it all.

You took care of me when...

You really didn't have to.

No. Hey.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No, hey, no!

No. No, don't fall asleep, hey! Hey! That's it.

Wake up, Candi, wake up!

Don't fall asleep, no!

No, no, no, no, no.

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep, stay awake.

Hey. No. No no no. Hey!

Wake up. Hey! Please stay awake right now.

Help!

Help!

Don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

EL MILAGRO

Hey help!

Help us!

- Help! - Here! Here, here, here, here.

Give me your hand. Your hand your hand!

Yeah.

Easy, easy.

Come here.

Bring him, this way.

This way.

This way.

Here, lemme see.

- Ok ok. - There bandages?

- Bandages? - It's not my boat.

I got here just like you.

My boat sank.

I can help him, but we gotta find a first aid kit.

We don't have time. We have to get out of here.

Yes!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Tell me your name.

Huh? What's your name?

- Candi. - Candi.

- Candi. Candi, you're going to be okay. - There's nothing here.

Find a bottle of alcohol.

A bottle of alcohol, quickly!

You're going to be fine, Candi.

You're almost there.

Help me move him, let's lay him down.

That's it... I'm gonna apply pressure.

Open the bottle!

The most expensive treatment I've ever done.

Okay, here we go.

Hold him down! Hold him down!

Relax, relax, Candi. Hey! You're gonna be fine.

Hey, you're gonna be fine.

I don't have anything to sew him up with.

Don't touch it, don't touch it.

That's it.

Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah that works.

Here.

Who's the captain?

M-. Me, me.

Is he yours? I mean your sailor?

He's my brother.

Well, hold him tight.

Hold him tight!

Hold him. Ready?

Ready?

No! No, no, no!

Hold him! Hold him! Relax! Hold him tight! Tight!

Almost done, almost done! Almost done.

This is the last one... the last one.

There. That's it.

That's it. There. It's over.

Hold him.

Press down hard!

Press here.

Press down here, Captain!

We have to get to shore

before we leave the eye.

The eye?

We're in the eye of the hurricane.

Did you think it was over?

Hurricane OTIS made landfall this morning on the coast of Guerrero...

and continues as a category five.

What was just considered a tropical storm as recently as yesterday has

intensified explosively,

taking both authorities and the public at large by surprise.

- Mother fucker. - No, come on, man.

It wasn't your fault, it was those fucking guys' fault.

Wind gusts have been

measured to exceed two hundred

and the city remains in darkness.

And fifty kilometers per hour,

The power supply went out several hours ago,

and telecommunications are almost completely interrupted.

I'm watching the news, Nico.

Whattaya know about the yacht?

The images that are coming

out of the areas affected by the storm show utility poles that have been

completely destroyed and trees that have been uprooted.

Please don't get angry.

The boats broke loose of the moorings in the marina and it appears that...

What's most concerning is how quickly this all happened.

- It was... - Evacuation efforts were overwhelmed

- uh, at the back of the yacht club. - by the speed of the storm.

Elevations, and severe damage to hotels along the tourist strip.

I can't trust you to do anything right.

Call Mr. Villalobos and ask him for a settlement figure-

The true magnitude of the tragedy will only begin to

be made clear once daylight arrives.

We need to start gathering the sailors' insurance documents.

Authorities are urging residents of Guerrero to remain indoors. Do not go

outside under any circumstances, stay indoors and away from windows.

B-but what? You think someone died?

The storm has not yet fully passed,

and after the eye of the hurricane has moved through,

HURRICANE HITS GUERRERO COAST

- God, Nicolás, fix this yourself! - Dad.

We'll continue to provide updates as communications are restored and the

- first rescue teams arrive. - Fuck.

All our consideration goes out to the families of Guerrero.

This is as far as we go!

We jump in and swim to shore from here.

We're very close!

I'll see you on the shore!

Quickly! We follow her!

Over there! Let's move!

You said you were my brother, right?

Candi, pay attention!

We have to jump right now!

- We gotta do it! - If we jump in we're gonna drown.

No one is gonna drown!

We jump on three!

- One! - No, just wait, just wait.

Two!

We jump on the one...two...three?

Or we're jumping like one,

- two, - What?

- Three... and then jump? - One, two, three!

Beat... And then jump!

Like that, though.

We jump on one...

That's what I said! On three!

One, two, three! One!

Two!

Three!

No! Candi!

No! What are you doing, stupid?

Jump! Candi!

Jump!

Candi!

Candi! No! No!

Nooooo! No!

No! No! Candi!

I got you, I got you, I got you.

You're here you made it.

Okay let's go!

We have to get out of here!

You have to let him go.

Captain!

I am very sorry.

But I have to get back to my post.

Will you be alright?

Will you be alright?

Chayo. Chayo.

Carmen.

My house Chayo.

- My house Chayo, it's destroyed. - Are you okay?

I am, but my house Chayo, what am I going to do, Chayo?

Wait.

Come, sit down. Come on.

Oh, Chayo.

You're okay

The house Chayo, the whole roof came off, everything fell down.

Chayo, what am I going to do now? What am I going to do?

Don't worry, Carmen.

We can put you up in here while we fix your house.

And where two can eat, four can, too.

You don't understand, Chayo, you don't understand.

Enough, Carmen. It's time for us to stop this nonsense.

All we have is one another.

That and our sons.

I know you're right, but I have a very large debt I have to pay off,

Chayo. I don't have anything else.

And that bastard Chevo left me with nothing else.

My husband gets murdered and I'm only left with debt.

He left it to us both.

He left it to the boys, too.

- Oh, Chayo. - That's enough, Carmen.

Can we stop this fight, please, already?

- For good? - Chayo.

Forgive me.

Oh, Carmen.

It looks like it's calming down.

We have to look for the boys now.

Let's go.

Honey.

Oh, honey.

Let's go, Mochis.

- Hey! - Over here!

Are you okay?

Hey!

Hey!

Do you need some help?

Come here, are you hurt?

Come on, come on.

Don't move.

Help me get this off! Please, someone!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't touch it.

It'll get infected.

Let me do it.

Here. I didn't have to use your money.

- Bite down a little. - No, no, no, no, no, no.

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Smell it. Smell it, it'll keep you awake.

No, no, it's not for you to drink.

Where are they?

Please help me!

Hey.

Calm down.

My brother is gone.

Why?

No, I don't know.

We had nothing before this anyway.

I have to go keep looking for people.

I have to help them.

Do you know where your house is?

I'm looking for my daughter! She's eight years old!

- WALLA - HOSPITAL TRIAGE 5M5F - Thirty-seven-year-old woman,

injury to the head.

Gauze, please over here, gauze.

Please, wait in the reception area.

This way, please.

Pablo Calderon?

And what's this?

Here, make sure it's correct please, double check, if necessary.

Right away. Yes, yes, yes, of course.

Sir... this way please.

With my partner.

Thank you.

It's an ORS, ma'am, an ORS.

Lemonade!

On the other side.

Please stay in your homes during rescue efforts if possible.

This line is only for locating missing children.

Paramedic, paramedic!

People who have already received treatment, please, leave the premises.

I haven't seen him since last night. His phone isn't working.

I've been waiting for hours, I need to see a doctor.

Is that the only one we have? Can I borrow it?

He was my brother, you're not doing anything!

- What's your name, honey? - Can you tell me your first and

last name, please?

We are at maximum capacity, please understand.

Mochis?

Please understand that the staff is doing what they can.

- Mochis. - We'll get to you as soon as possible.

Mochis. Mochis. Mochis, where's my mom?

- Where's Mom? - Wirpul!

Wirpul.

Mom?

Wirpul.

Oh.

Honey!

Wirpul!

Wirpul.

My baby Wirpul.

I knew you were okay.

Mom.

Mom.

I knew you were okay, my love, my heart told me so.

Oh, you're alright! You're alright! Where's Candi?

Where's Candi?

Initial reports continue to come in

following Hurricane Otis's passage through Guerrero.

Overnight, the storm surprised everyone with its

rapid intensification and the force with which it struck the coastal area.

There is still no clarity about what is happening in Acapulco.

Communications remain down,

and only a few sporadic messages have managed to get out of the area.

The federal government has activated emergency protocols.

From what we know so far, the outlying neighborhoods of Acapulco,

some of the poorest not only in Guerrero,

but all of Mexico,

have been terribly affected by the hurricane.

There's no available

- electricity or drinking water, - You alright, dude?

- And shortages are beginning to be felt - Hey, man.

In every corner all across the city.

- Can you ask your dad for money, or...? - The next few hours

- will be decisive in determining - Look. Dude.

The true scale of this tragedy.

- You're a sea king, Nicolás, - Sources we have at the hotels have begun

- take it easy, big guy. - sharing the very first images showing

completely devastated streets, torn-off roofs, and decimated buildings...

Wirpul.

But this tragedy isn't affecting nationals alone.

How are you, brother?

Some tourists had to take shelter where ever they could find it and

improvise barricades.

We have a firsthand account from one

- such affected tourist right now. - Fuck.

We're with you.

- It's absolutely the most - So sorry, man. That's awful.

Horrifying thing I've ever

- experienced in my entire life. - I don't know what to say.

There were times during the storm that I didn't know if I would survive.

This is the most terrifying thing, honestly.

It's so nice to see you.

- Thank you. - Likewise, see you, bye!

Byyyee.

TWO WEEKS LATER MEXICO CITY

Wirpul.

Brother. How are you?

I'm so very sorry, brother.

How are you? How was the flight? This is Counselor Villalobos.

Nice to meet you, how are you?

Please, sit down, make yourself comfortable.

Wha- What're you drinking?

Order what you want. Get whatever. It's on me.

I'm fine, boss. Thanks.

Well, thanks for coming,

things are a total mess here with all this crap about the...

The donations and all that crap, you know.

Again, we're very sorry about the loss of your sailor.

My brother.

His name was Candi.

Yes, yes. Candi.

Cándido.

Yes, yes. Cándido.

Look. Uuummm... I brought a little money.

For the family. Just to... help them out.

That's to pay... the indemnification

for my brother who died that you failed to insure.

The same way that I wasn't.

Or the boat.

That's what you mean, right?

Yes. Yes, that's right.

To pay the... indemnification.

It's my personal money. Mine.

Okay?

For support to you, and the family...

For his mom... in fact.

To his mom.

How much?

Seventy thousand.

No, I mean, but...

- No. - It's just to start, I mean...

The case alone is worth ten k...

Boss look.

Do you think someone's life is worth seventy thousand pesos?

Someone who worked for you right up until the last minute before he died.

You sent me and him to die.

Fuck me, don't say that, Wirpul.

I mean, if I'd known the hurricane was going to get that bad,

I'd have let the boat sink and not sent him out with...

I called you to tell you that it was getting fucking bad out there.

To let us come back in.

You preferred...

- saving your boat. - Come on, Wirpul.

Don't say that shit, man.

- If you're really... - If I'm like family?

Tell me my last name?

I want three hundred.

There hundred thousand pesos or I tell

the Harbor Master's Office that you asked me to release the other boats.

Hundred ten.

And you sign a letter releasing my responsibility.

Two hundred and fifty...

and I won't tell your dad that you held on to the dues for the yacht marina.

And the insurance.

Hundred eighty.

- I'll pay for your captain's fees. - Seaman's book.

Yeah that shit.

Sign me up.

Where'd ya learn to negotiate like that, huh?

You're more badass than I thought, man.

I learned from the best.

SPACE TRAVELER

It's done.

There's your UFO.

Alright.

Show your face!

If you're gonna take me... show your face!

Wirpul!

Hey, man, that hurts, you fucker.

- It hurts, asshole! Stop! Yeah yeah yeah. - Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Quit crying, mother fucker.

How? How? How?

Asshole.

It was the aliens.

Oh, fuck!

Tell ya later.

Listen.

You take this.

You take this.

And this.

To the first help center you find.

- Where's Candi, son? - It's okay.

There's a whole plan.

Alright. Now we just need everything else.

Gimme a chance, man.

Listen.

Don't you have another song?

- By any chance. - I don't have any space.

I just bought you a boat and a cell phone, my man.

The fuckin phones suck when you get em two for one.

You know Miss woncheers?

Miss woncheers?

Miss cold one cheers!

Do you wanna hear again about the time the aliens saved me?

I felt something grab my ass, and I started going up.

No, but it was a fucking huge piece of wood, man, from that damn boat.

And then I started feeling this fucking desperation, because I was like, well,

I started talking total bullshit, right?

And then all of a sudden I see this fucking white light, and I'm like,

"Shit, I'm dead." But no, it was the fucking aliens.

And then I started to feel like that fucking light was coming right

at me, so I started swimming away, and I kept swimming, and at some point

it stopped, I mean, I stopped feeling the fucking current, you know?

THE LAST FIGURE RELEASED BY THE GOVERNMENT FOLLOWING HURRICANE OTIS WAS 68 DEAD

32 PEOPLE MISSING, 24 OF THEM AT SEA

THERE IS NO OFFICIAL LIST WITH THE NAMES OF THE DEAD OR THE MISSING

HOWEVER, SOME ESTIMATES CALCULATE MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED DEATHS

274 THOUSAND HOMES AND MORE THAN 600 HOTELS WERE AFFECTED

MORE THAN 800 BOATS DESTROYED

16 BILLION DOLLARS IN MATERIAL DAMAGES
