Toño is shown nervously waiting by several cell phones in an office at a packing plant. While listening to the heartbeat, Mario has a flashback to a younger version of himself injecting something into an unknown person’s arm in what appears to be a drug den. At an ultrasound, Julia and Mario find out the baby is a boy. Mario continues to care for Padín as his condition progresses, shown through a montage of shaving him, helping him dress and eat, and more, even as he continues to inject him with the street drugs every night, always between the toes. They ask him again about the business deal, leading Padín to realize they’ve lied to the others about his approval of the deal. They visit the nursing home where they see Padín with a group of other seniors, playing a game with a parachute. Kike discusses the Chinese deal with Toño once more, saying it “has to be now”. He lies again, and she comforts him by having him feel her pregnant stomach. Mario then meets Julia outside who notices he’s shaken and asks him what’s wrong. He is shown preparing the drugs (heroin) at the hospital, drawing it into a syringe that he injects between Padín’s toes after telling the man it’s not oral medication so it won’t “tax his throat”. He purchases drugs from an inebriated man who then calls after him “I recognize your face, but you were dead!” which he ignores. After work Mario drives to a sketchy part of town, lying to Julia about why he’ll be late. That night, after being helped into bed Padín thanks him sincerely. He continues to care for Padín and help him with his mobility. Mario tells him that some people prefer nursing homes to living at home because they don’t have to deal with pity from their family before asserting that Padín can still enjoy things in life. The next morning, Padín refuses to get out of bed. Back at home a news report about Padín affects him strongly but he hides this from Julia, his wife. A clearly shaken Mario retreats to the bathroom and stares at himself in the mirror. Toño tells Padín that they’re going ahead “with or without you” as Kike threatens Mario with violence if Mario does anything to harm Padín. Mario runs Padín through some simple hand stretches to improve his mobility, seeming to earn a begrudging trust from the older man. Kike is shown to have little respect for Padín, who in turn has no patience for his immaturity. Padín argues with Kike and Toño about dealings with the Chinese and Colombians. Mario recognizes the name, and that Padín is/was a drug lord. Another staff member, Luisa Mayol (María Luisa Mayol) informs Mario that Padín will be coming to stay there. He is shown to be good at his job, able to talk a sullen patient into eating his dinner, though the method he uses (promising the man smokes before saying he won’t remember the promise) maybe suspect. After the class ends she drops him at his work he is head nurse at an assisted living facility. Padín tells him to break his legs before informing Toño that he doesn’t want to come home and is instead going to a nursing home “because I fucking feel like it”.Ĭut to Mario (Luis Tosar) and Julia (María Vázquez) at a class for pregnant couples.
