[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
NANCY: San Francisco
paramedics.

Hello? 911.

Miss? Miss,
can you hear me?

Miss, can you
hear me? Miss!

Can you hear me?

Let's get this on.
Damn it.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

Come on. That's it.

You can do this.
Come on.

Come on.

[GASPING]

RABBIT: Bad dream?

Yeah.

It was weird.
I was doing CPR
to myself.

How do you do that?

[LAUGHING]

No, there were two of me.

Well, that's trippy.

Yeah.

What do you think
that means?

That I need a vacation.

I'm gonna be
late for work.
Shh. Oh.

Hey, you got a sec?
I have got to go.

No, stay here.
Sorry.

I want to talk
to you about
something.

Stand there,
listen to me
and respond.

Mmm-hmm. That sounds
like therapy speak.

That's what it is.
Mmm-hmm.

So, Nancy Carnahan,

we've known each other
a long time now.

And we're finally, kind of...
Seems to be working.

Mmm-hmm. Totally. Yes.

[LAUGHING]
Come on.

Anyway, uh, my place is small
and your place is small.

And, um, I haven't
been to my place in,
like, two months.

And for the money
that we pay for
both of them,

we've put it together,
we could get a really
awesome place.

Are you asking
to move in?

No. No. I'm...

I'm saying that maybe
we could talk about

getting a place together.

CAMERON: [LAUGHS]
It's your birthday.

Yes, it is!
Yes, it is!

[TYLER LAUGHING]
CAMERON: And I'm driving.

No, you're not.
You are not...

Dude, I'm about to pass out.
You, driving?

No, dude.
Do not pass out.
Dude, it needs to be

my birthday
every day, man.

[EXCLAIMS] What are you
doing for your birthday?

Uh, plan on wearing
a headband,

dancing with glow sticks,
double-fisting them,

maybe drink till I go blind,
at least in one eye.

I like that.
You like that?

I do.
That's good.

I call it Tuesday night
normally, but
it'll be my birthday.

Hey, uh, control,
this is Medic 78.

We are dual medic.
Gonna stage out
at Union Square.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:
Copy that, Medic 709.
Staging out at Embarcadero.

Uh, did not copy that.
Uh, this is Medic 78.

You want us at
Union Square
or Embarcadero?

Copy that, Medic 78.
Cleared to stage out
at Union Square.

We're having some
technical troubles here.

Ooh. Technical troubles.

Okay, it's gonna be
a fun day, huh?

Fun day.
Yeah.

[GRUNTING]

David. Oh, God.

You're gonna be okay.

[DAVID GROANING]

David, can you hear me?

Come on.


What's your emergency?

My friend,
he's really bleeding.

We were riding ATVs
and he hit some barbed wire.


Is he breathing?
Yes, he's bleeding!

[INDISTINCT] Is he breathing?
Yeah, he's breathing.

Where is he bleeding?
[STUTTERING] His neck.

Can you stop the bleeding?
What? I can't hear you!

[INDISTINCT]
What is your location?


We're out on the main
property. It's maybe 50 acres.

I don't think
I can move him.

Don't...
Hello?
Can you hear me?

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:
Angel Rescue 2,
we have an ATV accident.

Unknown trauma in Marin.

MARISA: Copy that.
This is Angel Rescue 2.
We are on our way.

Hello? What's going on?


We're sending
a rescue helicopter.

Please. Please hurry.
Help is on the way.

We're at Bailey Road.
[INDISTINCT]
We are sending someone.

Are you getting any of this?
You're gonna be okay.

[GAGGING]

MARISA: Control,
this is Angel Rescue 2.

Flying over our coordinates,
but there's no visuals.

Are there any updates?

DISPATCHER: Negative.
The system is still down.

MARISA: All right,
I'll make another pass.


Sir, can you hear me?
Can you see the helicopter?

No.

Control, this is
Angel Rescue 2,
flying over our coordinates.

We've been flying blind
for 15 minutes.

DISPATCHER: I'm sorry.
We're having some
technical troubles here.


What are your
nearest landmarks?

What?
Are you close
to any landmarks?

Aren't you supposed
to know where we are?

There's a bunch
of trees, redwoods.

DISPATCHER: Angel Rescue 2,
can you see two people
near a cluster of trees?

Negative.

There.

Of course there's
trees, Rabbit.
We're in Marin.

Yeah. The cluster of trees
with the two people
underneath them.

Oh, crap. You're right.

Control, we have a visual
and we're arriving
on scene, over.

How long have we been
holding them up?

Uh, about 20 minutes,
maybe more.

That is too long.

RABBIT: Is he conscious?

ATV RIDER: I didn't
think anybody was coming.

RABBIT: Yeah, looks like
he's in hemorrhagic shock.

Pressure to
the trauma dressing
and lots of it.

I've been soaking up
the blood.

Yeah, but you didn't
stop the bleeding.

MARISA: Ooh,
that is gnarly!

All right, we'll
go bilateral.
MARISA: Okay.

RABBIT: Large bore.
MARISA: All righty.



Bigger the better.
Ready?

Is he gonna be okay?
RABBIT: We lost
a lot of time.

We are gonna have
to load and go.
MARISA: Hang in there, buddy.

How's he doing?
RABBIT: Skin signs
are getting better.

Pulse ox is rising
and vital signs are
stabilizing.

That's good, right?
That's...
That's pretty good,

all things
considered, yeah.

You've been in
a nasty accident,

you've lost
a lot of blood,

and you're on your way
to the hospital.

I need you to...
Just hold his hand.
Hold his hand.

You need to stay calm
and stay still, okay?

DAVID: [WEAKLY]
What took you
so long?

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello?

CASEY ON PHONE:
Hey, Flygirl.

Casey? Are you overseas?

No, no. I'm, uh...
I'm in San Francisco.

What's going on?
Oh, let's just say I'm
not in the Army anymore.

I want to see you.
Well, I'm a working
girl, buddy.

I can't just leave
whenever you want
to see me.

[SIGHING]

Where are you?

[CLEARS THROAT]
VA Hospital.

MARISA: I'm on my way.

Hey, Rabbit, I need you
to cover me for an hour, okay?

Sure. What's up?

Uh, Casey called
from the VA Hospital.

When did he get back?
I don't know.

[STAMMERING] It's just...
Are you good?

Oh, yeah, sure.
Okay. I got it.

Is he all right?

Hey.

I'm sorry.
NURSE: Landers!

[MARISA GASPS]
Save it for someone
who needs it.

You're a sick pig.

[STUTTERING]

I got sh*t, though.
I did get sh*t.
No. Oh, did you?

Really? Where?
In the ass, I hope.
Yes. Yes, Afghanistan.

Oh, Afghanistan.
Hey, if you play
your cards right...

How could you?
...I'll show you the scar.

[SCOFFS]

Hey, I did get a medal though,
and honorable discharge.

How cool am I?
MARISA: Really?

You mean how
cool am I?

Because of me,
you're a hero and
not a court martial.

You're welcome.
You look great.

So how long they, uh...
They got you here?

They're kicking me
to the curb today.

And what are you
doing after that?

I was hoping
you could tell me.

Well, let's see,
I do have a couch.

Nah.

We didn't make it to
the couch last time.

[GASPS]
Is this Saint Joey?

Told you I'd
bring him back.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:
Medic 78, respond
to 940 Frederick for an ETOH.

Whoa! There we go.
No, hold on. Hold on.

I don't trust them.

Dispatch, this
is Medic 78.

Will you please repeat
the address for the ETOH?

940 Frederick.

And that would be
an extremely trashed
or hammered call?

Alcohol poisoning?
Copy that, Medic 78.

Yeah, it better be.
Excuse me?

You're excused.
This is Medic 78
responding Code Two.

Ah, I like that.
Yeah?

[SNAPS FINGERS]
Hell, yeah.
Busting on dispatch.

I'm betting it's
the new digital system.

So, technology's
messing with us.

Yeah, today.
But, uh, I don't know
about those people

answering the phone,
you know?

Dude, I... Yes, I know.
I don't trust them.

Yeah, let's stay on them.
That's right.

Let's keep on them.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Excuse me.

Sir, are you okay?

Anybody call for help?

Okay.

Alcohol poisoning
in a Laundromat.

CAMERON: But this is
the address.

Why don't you chalk up
another one for our friends
in dispatch?

You pissed about
this yet?

Control, this is
Medic 78.

DISPATCHER: Medic 78,
you have control.

Uh, who am I
speaking with?

This is
911 dispatch,
Medic 78.

No. Uh, what's your name?
Caroline.

Hi, Caroline.
I'm Tyler.

Uh, you know
what just happened?

Uh, my partner and I
were just sent to


for an acute
intoxication call.

You know, we don't
have anything.

We got a Laundromat.
That's what we got.

I mean, you realize
someone may be
dying out there?

[SIREN WAILING]

NANCY: Control, this is
Medic 114 arriving on scene.

CAREGIVER: I called
almost half an hour ago.

Yeah, I'm sorry.
Dispatch is having
some trouble today.

So, how long has
she been like this?

I found her on
the bathroom floor

when I got here,
then I called you.

She said she's been
vomiting for two hours
straight before that.

Okay.

Lynda, can I
take a look?

Is she on any medications?

The kitchen sink, dear.

CAREGIVER: She's
stage four breast cancer.

She wants to go
to the hospital.

The doctors and
the nurses,
they know how to...

Yes. Make you
comfortable.

Mmm. Yeah.

Lynda, I'll try and see
if you can come back here,
but I don't know...

No, don't look
so devastated.

I will miss this place.

I haven't wasted
one of the 72 years
I've been given.

This is Lynda.
She's stage four
breast cancer.

Uh, she's suffering
from vomiting,

intermittent
shortness of breath.
Her vitals are stable,

but she's got fluid
in her lungs.

She's requesting admission
to the cancer ward
for end-of-life care.

Right. Hold up. Got it.

She's gonna need
some pain management.

Yeah, we've got her
chart here, Nancy.

The hospice has very
specific instructions
for her care.

We just need to
get her a bed.

Thank you.
It's nothing.

You take care, now.
You, too.

GLENN: Seems like
a cool lady.

Yeah, very.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

By the look of that smile,
Casey's doing just fine.

Yup. Casey took
a b*llet in battle...

Ooh.
...which was enough

to get him an honorable
discharge and a medal.

A medal!
Mmm-hmm.

Which means that
I now have myself
a new roommate.

No way.
Way.

What, the guy that you
called the MPs on
and had sent to the brig?

Not the brig,
Afghanistan.
What's the difference?

And this guy has
come back for more.

Yeah.

Wow. You are a cat in
the sack, aren't you?

That is sexual
harassment.
Yes, you are.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[ON VOICEMAIL]
This is Rabbit.
Leave a message.

Ready?
Yeah.

You ever been
to Cambodia?

What?
Cambodia.
Have you ever been?

Are you actually asking
a question about me?

Look, I know you've done
a lot of traveling.

I'm just wondering.

Three or four years ago,
I spent the summer backpacking

through Vietnam,
Thailand, Cambodia.

Wow. That's cool.

You're making fun
of me, aren't you?

No, I'm interested.
I want to know.

I was a history major
before I went pre-med.

Really?

Listen, I know it's
none of my business,
but lately, you've...

I don't know,
you seem to just not...
Not be yourself.

Rabbit asked me
to move in with him.

For the past 15 years,

I think I have done
nothing but look after
other people.

You know? Like my brothers,
my dad, Rabbit, you.

[NANCY LAUGHS]

You know, maybe it is time
that I took care of myself.

Man, I don't get it.

I mean, look around.
You see an earthquake?

You see a hurricane?

Wait, what are you
talking about?

When New Orleans got slammed,
they had an actual reason.

Dispatch got flooded.
All the operators left.

All the calls got
routed to Baton Rouge,

but Baton Rouge
couldn't handle
that load.

So any calls that
we actually did go on,

we were either too late
or we just didn't get
there at all.

You just eat yourself alive
wondering if you could have
actually helped somebody

if you got there earlier.


these people safe, man.

It makes them feel like
they're connected to help.

So, yeah, if it's
gonna go down,

yeah, I want a reason,
a good reason.

It's a system.
Systems rely on people.

People screw up.

My waiter screws up,
my soup is cruddy.

You know?
My cable guy screws up,

I don't get
the hockey game.


people die.

And on my birthday.

[PHONE RINGING]

[ON VOICEMAIL]
Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.

Hi, uh...

Oh! I'll call you back.

Hey! The w*r hero.

More like the numb-nuts
who gets sh*t.

Come on,
show me the scar.

Damn. That's through
and through.

Yup.
Dude, did they take
your kidney, or what?

It was a fair trade.
Spleen for walking papers.

I think they were
just sick of me, though.

Go figure, huh?
Yeah. Is she around?

There she is.
Shall we?

Go have fun.

See you later.
We will.

Bye, Dad.
Don't stay up
too late.

Tap that.
[MARISA LAUGHS]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.

Hello. Hey, Nancy.
Yeah, I'm trying to
call you back again,

but I can't get you
'cause you're not answering
your phone again. Bye.

MARISA: I thought
we were going to lunch.

We are, but this is
the second best way
I know

to work up an appetite.

Wow. Rat-infested dump.

You really know
how to impress a girl.

Just this girl.

Size queen.

You ready?

[SIGHS]

[EXCLAIMS]

I am starving.

That's because
you were sh**ting.

Adrenaline lets you go
without food or sleep.

Once it wears off,
you get hungry.

I remember that.
Not as well as I did.

You know, they
took me off of helo.

They did?
Yeah.

They put me on
the.50 caliber on APC.

They put you on an M2?

[EXCLAIMING]

That is so gnarly.
[LAUGHS]

Yeah, it is.

[CLEARS THROAT]
It's different on the ground.

MARISA: Yeah?
CASEY: Up in
the air, they're...

It's like spots,
you know?

It's more like
a video game.

You just take them,
lead them, and that's it.

Yeah, but on the ground,
it's, uh... You can see them.

You can see their eyes

and see the looks
on their faces.

You just see it
all go away.

[g*n COCKING]

[g*n f*ring]

[ON VOICEMAIL]
This is Rabbit.
Leave a message.

Oh, you are kidding me.

MAN: Everything okay?
Huh?

Did you miss a date?

Uh, kind of.

I've been trying to speak
to someone all day
and I keep missing them.

We just have had trouble
connecting, that's all.

Your husband?

Not even close.

Boyfriend?

Yes, boyfriend.

So, uh, what'd you
want to talk to your
boyfriend about?

No, just consider me
a sounding board,
an impartial observer.

Okay. Um...

Have you ever had
one of those moments

where you ask yourself,
"Is this it?"

About every 30 seconds.

And what do you
come up with?

Are you happy
with your life?

Huh. Wow.

I thought this
was gonna be

a picking-out-the-tile
in-the-bathroom kind of thing.

Uh, yeah.
I'm happy.

Do you live alone?
Yeah.

How come?

I don't know.

Um, I lived with someone
for a few years.

It was nice.

But, uh, you know,
I guess it really wasn't it,
you know?

And I am where I am.
And it's all right.

Just all right,
or satisfied all right?

Little bit of both.

If you don't mind me
saying so,

it's kind of
a dangerous conversation
to have with your boyfriend.

It's even more dangerous
with a stranger.

True.
[LAUGHS]

[BELL DINGING]
WOMAN: Number 77.

Wait.

That's me.

Just in case you want
to continue a weird
conversation

and, uh, you keep
missing your boyfriend.

[EXCLAIMING] Come on.

Is it beer 30
yet or what?

CAMERON: You're not
even close, man. sh**t.

All right. Now.
You got it.

Man, my birthday sucks!

Ha, ha.

It's 'cause you're at work,
but it might get better.

Dude, seriously,
if you're planning
something, don't, okay?

I... Seriously.

No, King Ego, I'm not.

What do you mean, "King Ego"?
No, I've got plans.

Listen, man...
Ego!

TYLER: Dude, it's
not about ego, man.

Look, honestly,
it's just...

I got some plans
with a few friends
of mine.

And it's not like that.
You're my boy.

It's just, look,
what I'm doing,
where I'm going,

you're not gonna
dig it, okay?

Not the rainbows,
not the glitter,
none of it, okay?

I'm protecting you.
Well, try me, man.

No, I'm not gonna dig
worrying about what
you're thinking all night.

Come on.
It's like that?

It is not like...
Dude.

I don't want to hurt
your feelings, man,
but it's my birthday.

Come on, please.
Of course. Cool.

DISPATCHER: Medic 78,
respond to welding accident.

Welding shop 3563 Houston.
Code One.

Okay. Dispatch,
this is Medic 78

responding to
Verify, please.

DISPATCHER:
Address verified.
Thank you very much.

Huh? Keeping them honest.
Taking names, huh?

RABBIT: So, you knock one
out at lunch or what?

I am not talking to you
about this.

You did!
You did, didn't you?

No, we went to the range.

Golf?

g*ns.

Okay, that is strange.

Come on, seriously.
Is he okay?

Yeah, he's... He's fine.
He's adjusting.

Think about if you were
forced to quit your job.

Yeah, well, I was,
and I went crazy.

And that was
the fun part.

Yeah, well, just
because you lost it,

it doesn't mean
everyone else will, too.

Oh, yeah? Well, guys
like me and Casey,
we're not everybody.

[LAUGHING] Look at this.
It actually is a welding shop!

Are you kidding?
[SIREN WAILING]

Spoke too soon.

Hey, kids!
Welding shop accident.

You guys were called?

Yeah, but they didn't say
anything about a second rig.

NANCY: It wasn't
even a priority call.
Okay.

Control,
this is Medic 78.

We are at
the welding shop call.

Was there a second rig
requested on site?

DISPATCHER:
Negative, Medic 78.
TYLER: Mmm.

Well, I hate to tell
you this, but Medic 114
is on site as well.

DISPATCHER: Oh, no.

Caroline?
Yeah?

Look, just tell me
there's not somebody
out there coding

because we're
doubled up here.

I have no unanswered calls.
I'm sorry, Medic 78, I...

Where the hell have you
been? We've been calling
for half an hour.

You're kidding me.
I can't move him.

Come on!

NANCY: What's his name?

Max. He's my
little brother.

NANCY: Okay, bring
a board.

Come on, baby brother.
TYLER: On Nancy's count.

One, two, three.

Okay.

NANCY: Max! Max,
can you hear me?

LANSTON: Come on, Max, speak.

Okay, let's strip
this stuff off him.

LANSTON: Come on,
baby brother.

GLENN: Gloves are
adhering, Nance.
NANCY: Leave them.

CAMERON: Come on, Max.
How bad is he?

Second degree burns
to upper torso.

All right, I got partial
thickness on legs.

Guys, looks like full
thickness on the arms.

LANSTON: Is he
going to make it?


Is he gonna make it?
What happened?

An acetylene line blew.

He was burning before
we could get to him.

It's like napalm
when it goes.

Okay. Run a line.

Push morphine.
Burn dressings.

CAMERON: Hang on, buddy.
Yo. Heads up.

Is he going
to make it?

CAMERON: All right,
guys, I'm tubing.

LANSTON: Is he going to be
all right? Hang on, boy.

NANCY: Got it?

Guys, I can hardly bag
him. I'm getting a lot
of resistance.

NANCY: No breath
sounds on the left.

LANSTON: He's not breathing?
He's not breathing?

Okay, hold on.
What the hell
are you doing?

Okay, go.

Yeah?
LANSTON: Is he breathing?

Is he going
to be all right?

Okay, we need to
get him to City, ASAP.

It's not supposed
to take a half hour
to get an ambulance.

I know, sir. Sorry.

[SIREN WAILING]
TYLER: Can I get
some help out here?

Let's go! Let's go!
Severe burns!

Got a Code Blue!
Code Blue.

CAMERON: Hang on, Max.
TYLER: Needle thoracostomy
in the field,

and two large bore
IVs with NS. Administered
morphine, okay?

DIANA: Okay. Yeah.
TYLER: Yes?

Whoa, sir, hey, hey,
you cannot go in
there. Sir!

I know, I know. Please.

Tell me something.

If you guys had
gotten there sooner,

would my brother
still be dying?

NURSE GINA: The cops stated
en route. We were told
a Code Two.

It should have been
a Code Three. It's
been happening all day.

TYLER: Yeah, I can't...

Damn it!

Excuse me?
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

They're lucky if there's
not going to be v*olence.

These bozos have no idea
what they're dealing with.

Bunch of old ladies
just sitting around

eating donuts
while I bust my ass.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Uh, sorry.
Yeah, who's dispatch?

CAMERON: I think
they're all dispatch.

Yeah? All right,
who's in charge?

Who do I yell at?
There's a much better
question.

[GROANS] If you want
to yell at someone,
yell at me.

Okay, ma'am, can I speak
with you for a minute?

Listen, we dropped a guy off
at City Hospital, right?

He's dead because
we got to him


His brother wants
to know why were we


Our systems crashed
this morning.

We've been using
analog for a backup,
which means no GPS,

which means no way
of knowing where
the ambulances are,

except by the radio.

And things around here
have just been going nuts.

Listen, we're trying
to do our job out there.
Yes.

Actually, you coming here
is trying to do my job.

No, you don't understand,
if we don't get the call,

how are we supposed
to get to the site?
No, you don't understand.

You know what, sir?
I would like you to
try something.

Come around here, please.

I'll set him up.
Caroline.

Yup.
Hi.

You're nothing
like I expected.

Have a seat, sir.

You're exactly
what I expected.

So, computer's down.
We're going manual.

That's our call board.
So this is SFFD dispatch.

That's SFPD dispatch.
Non-emergency calls
are here.

Okay.
Here's your headset.

TYLER: Okay.
Ready?

Uh, yes. Yeah.
CAROLINE: Go.

All right, 911,
what's your emergency?

[MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

Excuse me, sir,
do you speak English?
[DOG BARKING ON PHONE]

He does... Can you...

Is there anyone there
that speaks English?

It sounds like Russian.
We have translators for


You have to
patch one in.
You just have to...

Never mind,
I'll patch him in.
Thank you.

Who's... All right.

[MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

TRANSLATOR:
He says the neighbor's dog
bit his son and he's bleeding.

He's going to k*ll the dog,
and maybe the neighbor, too.

Okay, uh, listen,
can you stop the bleeding
with direct pressure,

like a hand towel?
Something clean.

Ask him where he's cut.

Is it on the leg?
Is it on his neck?
I'm trying to...

TRANSLATOR: Yes,
he's putting pressure
on the wound.

We'll have someone
there in a jiffy.

What is your address?
Jiffy?

[MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
TRANSLATOR: 5234 Powell.




Thank you. Okay.
Okay. Powell is
near Union Square.

Um, uh, Medic 265
is staged out there.

Uh...
No, that one.

Medic 265, will you
please respond?

Code Two to 5234 Powell.

Uh, dog bite.
Treating blood loss
and a very angry dad.

WOMAN:
Medic 265 responding.

Yes. Sir,
help is on the way.
[MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

That's how you
rock the call, right?

CAROLINE: Really?
You're not done.
Why?

Guy threatened to
k*ll his neighbor.

Yes. SFPD. Yes, okay.
OPERATOR: Not that
line. That one.

Which?
All you need to do is read.

Read. Right there. Read.

SFPD, will you please,
uh, send a car to


Possible domestic
v*olence. Boom.
SFPD DISPATCHER: 5234...

No, still not done.
The dog.

The dog. Why?
Animal control.


Where's the
animal control?

SFPD will dispatch them.
SFPD DISPATCHER: SFPD.

SFPD? Hi. Yes. It's me again
with the domestic v*olence...
Yes?

...over at Powell.

Uh, it looks like
you're gonna have
to dispatch,

uh, animal control.

Seems like
a dog bit a kid or
something, so...

Copy that. We're on it.

CAROLINE: Okay, so,
you took three minutes
on that call.

Add another five
for the rig to
get there,




Congrats, Tyler. Tyler
just logged a 30-minute
response, people.

Thirty minute
response, sir.

Protocol is six
and a half minutes.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

I know how you feel.

It's tough stuff.

My mom d*ed at 43
of breast cancer.

She married my dad
right out of college,
had kids.

The farthest she ever went
was Canada and Mexico.

That's tough.

I mean, you saw her house.

I mean,
the places Lynda went.
The life she's lived.

Even the end.

Hell, Glenn,
she did it right.

[MARISA LAUGHING]
CASEY: You have no idea

how good this
feels to be out.

Out of the hospital,
out of the sand.
Just out.

I hear you.

Man, I love the city.

It's good to have
you around, Case.

Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

My life was starting
to be all work, no play.

So...

So?

What's the plan?

Well, for tonight,
the plan is...

Well, I have several
ideas for the plan.

[LAUGHING] Oh,
I'm sure you do.
Uh-huh.

MARISA: No, I mean
the plan.

What are you going
to do with the rest
of your life?

I don't know,
get my head straight.

Get a job. Maybe here.
I don't know.

Really?
Hey, man, can I get
five bucks for a drink?

I don't know, maybe a...
Not tonight, man.

Sorry.
Uh, what about
EMT training?

I can try that.
Really?

Yeah. Is it hard?

Well, not super hard.
It's just a different
mindset.

I think I'd be a good
medic, you know?
Come on, man.

I know you got it.
Saving people's
lives instead of...

Just five dollars
for a beer, man.
Not happening, man.

I'm being honest.
Not happening.

Your boyfriend is a d*ck.
Yeah, um...

What about you? Can you
hook me up with something?

Get your hands off her.
MARISA: Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look, I ain't messing
with your bitch.
MARISA: Hey, come on. Casey...

Casey!

Casey! Whoa!
Whoa! Hey!

[CAR HORN HONKING]
What the hell is
wrong with you?

Casey, cut it out.
Cut it out!

Get off of him.
Get off of him.

[MOANING]

Okay, try and stay still.
A broken orbit.

Broken nose.
Someone really
unloaded on this guy.

Yeah, not just somebody.

Hey.
Hey.

How's he doing?

Pretty worked over.

Could you please
not tell Rabbit
about this?

Sure.


with a broken nose.

Possible septal hematoma.
Possible broken orbit.

Possible broken jaw.
Definitely intoxicated.

Right.
Thank you, Nancy.

Uh, bay four.
ORDERLY: Yes, ma'am.

Whoa, rumor has it
that Marisa's boyfriend
did that?

Yeah, I think he did.
It's just a crazy day.

DIANA: Hmm.
Dispatch has
been a disaster.

Nancy's acting
really weird.

People we know are
b*ating up homeless guys.

Will I see you later?

No, I'm on all night.

Yeah. Of course.
At least one thing's
status quo.

Yeah.

Listen, have a good
rest of the night.

Get some sleep
when you can, okay?
Yeah.

Okay.
All right.

Nance, your patient,
Lynda Dunbrook,

she passed away
a little while ago.

Was she...
No pain.

She just slipped away.
Very peaceful.

Peaceful, huh?

Thank you for checking
on her for me.

No problem.

Hey, have
a good time tonight.

Thank you.
I will. I will try.

I know you have plans.

Is it cool if I take
you out for a drink?

Of course.
Of course it's cool.

Yeah. Yeah.
I'd like that. Yeah.

Ah, you got me smiling.

[LAUGHS]
Looks good on you.

Hey, man, uh, I just
want to apologize if
I was being...

If I was being
a d*ck today.

Um, dispatch
had me spinning.

Yeah. I know, man.
They had everybody
spinning today.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Yeah.

Oh, I am blowing up.
[LAUGHS]
You're blowing up?

Yeah. It's, uh...
You're popular again.

Just my friends
letting me know

where my little
soirée is tonight.

Yeah.
And it is...

Wait, dude.

[ALL CHEERING]

[TYLER LAUGHING]

[ALL CHATTERING]

How? How? How?

I stole your phone!
I copied down all
the numbers.

Yes!
I don't know what
to say to that.

[LAUGHING]
Hey.

Cheers, cheers, cheers.

[ALL CHEERING]

Thank you.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

You picked the music?

Yeah. Yes!
Yeah!

ALL: Speech! Speech! Speech!
Hey, everybody, hey!

To my friends.

[ALL CHEERING]

Bottoms up!

[ALL CHEERING]

Hey.

You're not working?

No.

Just thought I'd come
and see you.

Who told you?

[GROANS] My partner
ends up on the wrong
side of a call,

I get to hear about it.
So, broken hand?

Yeah. Three places.

On a homeless guy's face?

Guy had his hands
all over Marisa.

You'd have done
the same thing.

Mmm, not anymore.
A year ago, maybe.

Two years ago,
I'd probably k*ll the guy.

I don't need
a big brother.

Well, I don't really care
what you need, Casey.

I know how all this goes
and I know you need
to sort yourself out.

All I'm saying is
don't drag Marisa into it.

Rabbit, you and I have
always hit it off real well.

It's probably 'cause
we're a lot alike, right?

Most likely, yeah.

Then you should know
threats don't mean
much to me.

[EXCLAIMS]

I've been right where
you are now, and...

No, Rabbit, you haven't.

See, you think you have.

And you think that gives
you the right to talk to
me like I'm a kid.

I'm not.

And neither is Marisa.

Casey, trust me,

this can get real ugly
if you don't deal with it.

So, for all of us,

don't let it get
that far, okay?

See you around, Rabbit.

See you around, Casey.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey!

Yo.
Oh, man.

Dude, I saw you
busting a move
out there.

Yeah, bro,
you underestimate me.

[LAUGHS]
I know. I know.

And I'm sorry, man.

So tell me, what are
we doing for your birthday?

Uh-uh. No. No.
Oh, yes! Yes.

No. No way. Okay.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[GRUNTING]

All right. Okay. Okay.

All right. Hands off.
Okay.

Okay. Come on.
Let me go.
Okay.

Hey!

What's up? Are you leaving
without saying goodbye?

I was gonna do
the quiet little
drift-away.

Yeah, the quiet drift-away?
Before Rabbit gets here?

Yes.

Listen, Nancy,
what's going on with you?

Talk to me.

You know what?
Ten years ago,

I walked into
medical school

and tonight I have
blood on my boots

and my boyfriend,
who was certifiably crazy
a year ago,

has asked me
to move in with him.

I mean, I don't know
how I got here.

I don't even know
if this is the vicinity

that I want to be in.
I mean...

Come inside
and have a drink.

I don't need
another drink.

You're on shift tomorrow?
You on the box?

Nope.
Then you need a drink.

Come on.
Are you buying?

I'm buying.
Of course I am.
Well, then...

Atta girl.
[NANCY LAUGHS]

Cheers. Here's to Tyler.

Oh, man!

Hey, good to
see you, brother.

I'm going through.
Give me your glass.

GLENN: Hey, Nance. Nance!

One more.
BARTENDER: There you go.

NANCY: There you are.

[LAUGHING]
What are you doing?

Not much.

What's up?
Thank you.

Well, I don't know if
you're gonna be thanking
me in the morning.

Thank you for making me
come back inside.

And thank you
for listening
to me today.

You know, I know
that I'm hard on you,

but I just want
your respect.

Nancy, you've had
a lot to drink.
