In trauma one, a
gay Latino kid--

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:10.030 align:middle line:90%
I think he is 17.

00:00:10.030 --> 00:00:13.090 align:middle line:84%
-- is getting tubed for
respiratory failure.

00:00:13.090 --> 00:00:16.270 align:middle line:84%
Sleeping pills and Tylenol,
I translated for him

00:00:16.270 --> 00:00:18.520 align:middle line:90%
as he was wheeled in.

00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:22.240 align:middle line:84%
His novio explained that, when
he told his folks about it all,

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:26.410 align:middle line:90%
they threw him out like trash.

00:00:26.410 --> 00:00:30.430 align:middle line:84%
They lived together underneath
the overpass of Highway 101

00:00:30.430 --> 00:00:32.020 align:middle line:90%
for seven weeks.

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:35.410 align:middle line:84%
The stars obstructed
from their view.

00:00:35.410 --> 00:00:40.600 align:middle line:84%
For cash, they sucked off
older men in Cadillacs.

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.300 align:middle line:84%
A viejita from the neighborhood
brought tacos to them,

00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:45.430 align:middle line:90%
secretly.

00:00:45.430 --> 00:00:49.120 align:middle line:84%
Last night, with 18
wheelers roaring overhead,

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:52.930 align:middle line:84%
he whispered that he'd
lost his will to live.

00:00:52.930 --> 00:00:56.880 align:middle line:84%
He pawned his crucifix
to get the pills.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.000 align:middle line:90%
