02x03 - Things That Matter Most

Post by bunniefuu »

- Pilots like things safe.

- Maybe you just haven't

- been taking the right risks.

- I want to.

I just don't wanna start

something that I can't commit to.

I had a call from donor screening,

they found a close genetic relative.

- Is it your mom?

- Whoever it is, they only

came looking 'cause they need a kidney.

I let Reese kiss me.

And as soon as it happened,

I realized it was wrong

and I stopped it.

- I just broke something!

- That's normal, c'mon.

I'm never gonna be good

enough for you, am I, Crys?

- You haven't changed at all.

- I still can't move my fingers.

I can't be a pilot.

He was already cut from Selection Camp.

- (SPEAKING HINDI)

-

Please.

Stunning wilds of Northern Ontario.

Harsh, desolate,

and out to k*ll me

in any way that it can.

Now I'm going to survive

out here for 72 hours alone

with nothing but my wits,

and I'm going to show you

how to do it too.

This Northern landscape

is a lot different

from the Tennessee River where

I survived in my last video.

But the one thing that remains the same,

is a thr*at of bears.

That's why I hung my pack up high

in this wise old tree.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(PLAYFUL MUSIC)

Alright, remember,

the trick to climbing

is respecting the tree.

If you respect the tree,

she'll respect you.

Okay

C'mon!

(SCREAMING)

Got to admit,

that video got a lot of likes.

Yeah Highest rated video to date.

And all I had to do

was impale myself on a shovel.

(CHUCKLING) You know,

I work my butt off every day

to create informative content.

All anybody wants these days is jackass.

Alrighty, fellas,

we're ready to go back here.

Cabin lights.

Off.

You guys got an iPad

or something on back there?

Uh, hang on a sec.

Whoa.

Is that supposed to do that?

Um No.

You got to get this.

This is some Jackass sh*t.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Did the accident involve chemicals?

Something luminescent like paint?

I just fell out of the tree

on to my shovel.

That was a whole other video.

He had a lot of dirt

in his wound from the shovel,

- but no chemicals.

- I've heard of this before.

I need to get you to surgery,

but I don't want to risk

the OR if you've been exposed

to some kind of hazardous material.

No, it was just me

in the dirt, freezing.

It didn't glow right away.

- Angel's glow.

- They do?

My dad used to tell us stories

about our family

that fought in the Civil w*r.

After one of the battles,

some of the injured warriors

were left out in the cold

before anyone could get to them

and they said that their wounds

glowed in the dark.

The soldiers called it "Angel's glow"

because everyone whose wounds

glowed survived.

I actually looked it up

in nursing school.

There's a theory that they were

infected with a soil bacterium

called Photorhabdus luminescens.

It's a parasite that eats

other bacteria.

Cool, but that bacteria

doesn't grow as far North as Manitoba.

Well, I did do a video

in Tennessee last week.

I used the same shovel.

Okay, let's get you to surgery

and run a culture, just in case.

(CHUCKLING)

One.

- (SPEAKING HINDI)

-

(GROANS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

It's not working. It's been three weeks.

I can't

My hand doesn't feel any better.

Look,

I know you're a genius

who's used to getting

everything perfectly the first time,

but you still need to heal.

Genius.

(CLEARING THROAT)

What's up, Chops?

Why don't I see if they have more pie?

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

I'm off in a couple of hours.

I convinced Zeke at the airport

to let me borrow his Cessna.

If you want to take it for a spin,

get the clouds underneath you,

feel the controls.

I'm not really up

for that right now, Bodes.

Why don't you come stay

at the Crew House for a bit?

- Everybody misses you.

- I'm good.

In a hotel with Sunita.

- Are you?

- What does that mean?

You're hiding out, bro.

I am not hiding, I'm trying to heal.

Ah. Is that what Sunita says?

You really think she wants

your hand to get better?

She doesn't want you to be you,

bro. You're a pilot.

Well, I can't be a pilot, Bodes, can I?

My hand is screwed up.

So, no. I don't want to go sit

on a plane that I can't fly,

nor do I want to go hang out

in a house full of people

who are all doing my job

that I can't go back to anymore.

I know about Selection Camp.

I know you got cut.

What happened, Chops?

I'm going back to Abbotsford.

With Sunita.

Her dad has a job for me.

I'm going to be an engineer again.

- You can't.

- Actually, Bodie,

this is what I can do.

If I can't be an astronaut,

if I can't be a pilot,

at least I can be an engineer.

I can have a family.

I can have a life with Sunita.

You know I hate surprises.

Why does it smell like socks in here?

Because you have weird hobbies.

(SCREAMING)

The Xtreme North

Wrestling League's "World Tour"

of Windy Lake. Happy Date Night.

Tonight's the big grudge match

between Rezputin and the Toban Bear.

They've been hyping this for months!

- You hate wrestling.

- Yeah, but you love it.

Front row seats.

The splash zone?

Sorry, we got here so early.

- It doesn't start for an hour.

- Are you kidding?

Tonight is a death match.

And death matches are the best

because they can get really ugly.

Better not get too ugly.

We only brought one stretcher.

Ah, these guys are pros.

The ugliest thing we're

going to see tonight

is a little cheek slip

from some spandex.

Well, whatever it is.

You're on your own.

I'm not a nurse tonight.

Tonight, I'm a man

on a date with my boo

who happens to be working.

Yeah, sorry,

it's the only way I could get us

a flight up from Thompson,

but if it's quiet,

I can sit with you.

You're both men on a date tonight.

Go have some fun in the splash zone.

Let's go. (LAUGHING)

SkyMed doesn't usually do this

type of paid standby gig.

Wheezer, why are we here tonight?

This expansion It's kind of a,

"if you build, they will come"

type deal.

We made new hires, bought a new airplane

with only one contract in Ontario.

Oh, is that enough?

People want to see if we can hack it

in two provinces

before other hospitals will sign on.

(MAN GROANS)

Yeah!

- (GRUNTS)

- Yeah!

- Do the others know?

- No, no, no.

I don't want to worry them.

So if it means picking up

some side gigs to keep SkyMed afloat,

protect my pilots, then

Oh, your pilots, what about the nurses?

What, you're not worried

about protecting us?

Well, I'm not your boss.

You work for the Chief Nurse.

You're her problem.

Oh, so she's the one to blame

for farming us out

to amateur wrestling night.

Well, I may have strongly suggested it.

(CHUCKLES) C'mon, Hayley.

Do it for the poor pilots

like me and Nowak

so he doesn't have to get

a second, second job.

And I don't have to hire myself

out in the room with these

clowns because no one,

and I mean no one wants to see

me in rubber underpants.

I don't know, man. The ladder trick,

just not good enough.

This is supposed to be a grudge match.

I mean, you guys came here

to see a show, right?

Woo-hoo, baby!

We've got the guy in the front row.

- This is just the warm-up.

- Okay, let's do it.

(ROCK MUSIC)

We're set.

Oh, we're set, baby.

Call me Bear, baby!

Welcome to the Bear Cage!

- You boys ready?

- Woo! Let's go, baby!

(LAUGHING)

This is for all

the bears out there, baby.

All the bears out

Oh! (GROANING)

(DARK TONE)

(GURGLING)

(SHOUTING)

That was not supposed to happen.

- Nope!

- Hang on, we're coming.

Okay, let's get some pressure on this.

Oh, I can feel it grinding.

Yeah, that's both end

of your bones rubbing together.

You got a femur fracture.

Help me with the shoe.

(GROANING)

He's not getting blood to his foot.

- I need the traction splint.

- My hands are full.

- I got it.

- Occipital fracture,

broken nose, eye injury.

We need to restore circulation

or he could lose a foot.

Coming, Tris. Here's the splint.

I need your help.

I guess I'm gonna have to be

a nurse tonight after all, huh.

Yeah, but it still counts as date night

if we do it together, right?

Uh, Hayley

We got a bleeder here.

Yeah, got one over here too.

Um, I need to start an IV,

can you come hold pressure?

No, no, this is a head wound,

those are important, right?

Yeah, so is this.

- Switch?

- Yeah.

Hold it straight.

You're going to be okay.

Okay, yeah, this one's important too.

I need to start an IV

for fluids and pain meds,

but I need someone to hold

pressure to stop the bleeding.

Tristan, I need a second set of hands.

I need Nowak for the splint.

I got to hold this guy, right?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Oh, no, no, c'mon.

Even these guys wouldn't use that.

This is

almost a surgical stapler, right?

Mm-mm.

(CLICK)

Photorhabdus luminescens.

- Really?

- Impressive catch, Ms. Highway.

Angel's Glow, you were right.

Every student I teach

wants to get published,

but none run into

anything worth writing about.

Bioluminescent wounds, however.

Write it up.

If it's of a professional level,

I'll help you to get it published.

Incoming.

45-year-old male with a decreased LOC

scalp lacerations. Tristan is following

with a femoral fracture,

and a third patient

with facial fractures

and skull injuries.

These aren't medical-grade staples.

Yeah, I had to use a staple g*n.

We make do with what we have, right?

So you introduced foreign bodies

into a serious wound

and possibly inflicted further

damage to a head injury.

Yeah, I had three casualties

and only two pairs of hands, so

If you don't have the proper equipment,

it is unsafe and unprofessional

to just improvise as you see fit.

I couldn't keep pressure on the wound.

You should have used sterile cling

and asked a bystander to hold the wound.

What bystander? Crystal

Bay 1, let's go. Excuse me.

Morning, Sunshine.

There's donuts at dispatch.

Looks like you could use one.

My shift doesn't start for an hour.

I should probably go find

some real breakfast.

- Yeah.

- Who brought donuts?

I did.

Usually helps to bring a gift

when you want to ask for a favour.

Especially with sprinkles,

you know what I'm saying?

Looking for Crystal?

No, I was looking for you, actually.

Today's my day off, and I thought maybe

you'd let me shadow you in the medevac.

After I messed up doing CPR on that guy

in the Whiskey Hatch,

I just feel like I gotta

I need to I need to learn faster.

- Why didn't you ask, Crystal?

- It's complicated.

Crystal can be hard to learn from.

Alright, I got a schedevac

out of North House

and the patient said they need as many

sleeping bags as possible.

So, alright, let's go.

Whoa. Crap, sorry.

I didn't mean to walk in on you.

It's a change room

for coworkers to change in.

Wouldn't feel weird

walking in on Nowak, would you?

Uh, no, no. This is exactly like that.

(LIGHT CURIOUS MUSIC)

Oh God, it was a long night.

I'm dying for a shower.

(♪♪)

- (DOOR OPENS)

- Heads up, Martine.

Maintenance cleared the snag

on 911's avionics.

We can head up to North House now, so

Did I interrupt something?

Nope.

I'll go kick the tires, Cap.

Okay.

There was a vibe, right?

Hmm.

Okay

I was really hoping

for more sleeping bags.

I need you to wrap them all around me.

All of them?

I know it's cold outside, but we can

No, it's not the cold. It's the outside.

I'm agoraphobic.

You're afraid of open spaces?

If you could just

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

Is that why you haven't

been to see a doctor

about your hypertension?

That's why I haven't been anywhere.

I can't leave my house.

I struggled since I was a kid,

but it's gotten a lot worse

the past few years.

(AIR PUMPING)

Wow, Tomi, your pressure is really high.

Have you been taking your pills?

My old doctor would just send them

to the nursing station, but he retired.

And the new guy won't give me anything

without an exam in person.

That's super not practical up north.

Yeah. But I met someone, online.

And I'd really like to be able

to meet her in person.

Which is hard, because you

can't leave the house.

I want to go to the doctor

in Thompson as a trial run.

I'm hoping being covered will help.

I've done worse for love.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

(CHUCKLING)

(PLANE ENGINE REVVING)

How's it going, Tomi? You okay in there?

Mm-hmm.

So, she's cool.

- The patient?

- Stef, I mean.

Those dimples, though.

Dude, we're coworkers.

So?

You're allowed to be happy, Lex.

Whether it's long-term happy

or fling-happy.

Maybe for you, not for me.

And why wouldn't it be for you?

You know, pilots are held

to a different standard.

We can't all hook up with our coworker

in the locker room

and still be considered

- "captain material."

- What is that?

Smell that?

Something smells burning.

Like when I nuked the clutch

in my uncle's car.

Avionics?

Maintenance said it was clear.

- Smoke!

- Oh sh*t!

Smoke in Aircraft Drill.

Shut off unnecessary electrics.

We gotta get on the ground fast.

Secure the cabin,

get on oxygen if you can.

(TOMI): What's going on?

What's happening?

Don't worry, Tomi.

We're gonna get some O2 on you

and strap you in, alright?

- What's close? Bear Lake?

- That's 20 minutes away.

There's an esker to the south.

There should be a clearing

around here. Chopper and I

did a low and over once.

Check around your two.

Oh man. That's tight, Bodie.

(ZAPPING)

- We gotta land.

- I'm calling it!

(ALARM BLARING)

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

This is SkyMed 911.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Prepare for emergency landing.

Hang on, guys, just hang on.

(PLANE ENGINE ROARING)

Hey. You re-stock abdo pads?

We were getting low on my last flight.

No, actually.

Thought I'd use paper towel,

tree bark, whatever I can find really,

since I'm so unprofessional.

Hayley,

Yana's particular.

She has her reasons,

but she's a great doctor.

Wow, "Yana."

Didn't know you guys were buds.

Look, the staples were cool.

But you know what med school

means to me.

And Dr. Noah's trying to help me.

But I'm sorry, okay.

Should I grab extra sleeping bags

or are you gonna use bark for that?

Jeremy took most of them.

- Jeremy?

- Yeah,

he asked to shadow Tristan on 911.

Have either of you heard from Tristan?

SkyMed 911, it's an hour overdue

and they're not answering on the radio.

I thought 911 was grounded

for maintenance.

The last crew snagged

an electrical problem,

but AMES cleared it.

(SIREN BLARING)

- What's that?

- It's an ELT,

Emergency Locator Transmitter.

- All planes have one.

- It has to be 911.

Got to.

Tristan and Lexi are on that plane.

So is Jeremy.

sh*t.

We have an overdue aircraft.

SkyMed 911 stopped responding

on a routine flight

from North House to Thompson

two hours ago.

One hour ago, an ELT began transmitting.

Now the ELT can give us

the general location

of where the plane may be,

but as we all know,

the North is massive.

Huge expanses of bush and water.

Now Search and Rescue's

going to fly a grid

looking for a visual of 911.

Let's do our best to support them.

We all know this terrain.

Let's bring our crew home.

Let's do this.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- (SPEAKING HINDI)

-

It's just last time

I talked to Bodie, we fought.

I'm going to talk to SAR,

there's got to be something

I can do from the ground.

(PROPELLORS WHIRRING)

SKyMed 911, this 922, do you copy?

SkyMed 911, this is 922, do you copy?

(SIREN BLARING)

(SIREN STOPS)

SkyMed 911, this is 922, do you read?

(SIGHS)

Make sure everyone knows

to keep the Search and Rescue

team's channel clear, okay?

They can check with dispatch

for updates and stuff.

(BABY CRYING)

Shh Shh, shh, shh.

(BABY CRYING) Shh, shh, shh.

Hey, Madison, right?

Yeah.

Do you want to maybe

use Wheezer's office,

put the baby, get some quiet?

No, I want to be with everyone else.

If it's quiet, I'll think too much.

Yeah, I get it.

Thank you.

(BABY CRYING)

Is he teething?

Yeah, he's usually such a happy guy,

just can't get him settled.

It's okay.

Miss

- Okay.

- Okay.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

(CRYING STOPS) Yeah?

Is that better, little fella?

I have a little niece.

She's a teenage niece now, but

I remember this like it was yesterday.

(SOBBING)

Hey, hey

- I'm sorry.

- Hold on, hold on.

Come, sit.

You know someone on the missing crew?

The captain is my son's father.

We're not together anymore,

but he's a good guy,

and he's a great, great father.

Joel means the world to him.

Bodie means a lot to us too.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

See you back here tomorrow.

- Keep me posted.

- Yeah.

Where are they all going?

- 911 is still out there.

- It's late, Cap.

You might be superhuman,

but other people need rest.

You can put 922 to bed,

fog is too thick.

Sorry, has to stop until

the weather clears.

You can't be serious? Tristan and Lexi

- are still out there.

- We're not giving up,

there's just nothing to do

until the fog clears.

This time of year, that could take days.

- I know.

- Tristan will be okay, Nowie.

As hard as you're trying to find him,

he's trying to get back to you.

You don't know him, okay?

You don't know sh*t about us.

Tristan told you

about the kiss, didn't he?

That's why you've been so shitty?

You're jealous about a stupid kiss

that didn't mean anything?

I didn't know he was

your boyfriend, Nowak.

- I wouldn't have made a move.

- You know why I've been shitty?

It's 'cause I don't like flying

with people I can't trust.

Like assholes who go after

other people's boyfriend

Tristan loves you, man.

If you're worried about him,

that's not on Tristan or on me,

that's on you.

Hey, hey, enough!

Enough.

Nowak!

Go home, and get some rest.

- You alright?

- Yeah.

No, sir, I get that, absolutely.

I just

Right, no, I understand.

Yes, sir.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Have you eaten?

Some women from

the community brought food.

Ops Manager. Not exactly a great look

for a new expansion to have

a missing aircraft right away.

Not exactly a great look

for a new chief pilot either.

Wheezer, this isn't your fault.

My crew. My responsibility.

Is your shoulder still bugging you?

Yeah, it's really annoying.

I just I want to be able

to do everything I used to.

You know, I learned this great

trick after my surgery.

Just

you want to cross your arms,

one side each on of the doorframe.

Here, you know what,

I think it'd be easier

if I showed you. Just cross your arms.

- Okay. Just like that?

- Perfect, yeah.

- Okay.

- And then you just want

to spread your feet, just a little bit.

Perfect, there you go.

And then you just lean your butt back

and just feel your muscles let go.

Oh, yeah. Oh, that feels great.

- Right.

- Yeah.

Hey, Wheezer, I

You look busy, but um

SAR Captain's looking for you.

Reese, thank you very much.

I'll be right there.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

Uh, enjoy the food.

Yummy, thank you.

(WIND BLOWING)

Hey.

You okay?

I've known Jer since I was seven.

I was born in Winnipeg.

My dad's Metis and my mom was Filipina.

She d*ed when I was a baby.

And when I was seven,

my dad fell in love

with a Cree woman from North House.

When we moved up here, I was so scared

I wouldn't fit in,

that no one would accept me.

And, that morning,

Jer showed up at our doorstep

with two canoe paddles

and his mom's frybread.

(LAUGHING) Like

Like we'd always known each other.

Jer made me feel like I belonged.

He made North House feel like home.

(SIGHING)

He's always been there for me.

What if he isn't anymore, what if

(SOFT MUSIC)

I'm sorry. I wanted

to check in with SAR again.

Most pilots when they're flying,

keep an eye out for places they

can land during emergencies.

So I made a list of all

the places I can remember

from here to North House, and

I gave it to SAR, but the fog

- (SPEAKING HINDI)

-

- They'll go out in the morning.

- If it clears by then.

I feel useless on the ground.

You know, the first time you flew solo,

when you came home,

you had this look in your eye.

You were in love.

(SOFT MUSIC)

- (SPEAKING HINDI)

-

When I saw that look,

I knew flying would always come first.

And eventually

you would choose it over me.

Suni

- (SPEAKING HINDI)

-

But don't settle for this

just because you can't fly.

Suni, no.

Chopper. Chopper, Chopper,

do you still have that list?

I gassed up 922, we're going out.

What? No, no, no. There's too much fog,

we can't see anything on the ground.

You'll find a way,

you always figure stuff out.

- I can't change the weather.

- Don't be an ass,

you know what I mean.

You'll find a solution.

I can't.

I can't solve this, Nowak.

- I can't even fly.

- Listen to me,

I know we're all treating you

with kid gloves

because you're going through

something right now,

but you need to get your

head out of your ass.

Bodie is your best friend

and the two people I love the most

are out there right now in the cold.

Waiting for us to find them.

You're the best pilot I know,

so stop feeling sorry for yourself

Get your ass on the plane.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(GASPS)

Bodie!

You guys!

You good?

Tomi, are you okay?

- What happened?

- We had to make

an emergency landing.

Did our distress call get out?

No, radio blew up

right before we went down.

ELT?

(EXHALES): Without the radio,

there's no way to check if it's working.

- Hey, you okay?

- Yeah.

Okay.

We have to assume

that help isn't coming.

What do we got?

Okay, standard issue kit.

Okay, we got a blanket,

matches, a mirror, and one flare.

Bodie

Let's not panic the patient.

Let's go outside and take a look.

- Okay.

- I think

I broke one of my ribs.

Can you help me get Tomi outside?

No, no! I told you,

I told you, I can't go out there.

- Tomi, calm down.

- I can't!

- We're in the middle of nowhere!

- Tomi, listen.

I know it's scary, but I need

you to stay calm, alright?

The more she panics,

the worse it makes her pressure.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

Okay. You're fine, okay?

You can stay on the plane

as long as the pilots think

it's safe, okay?

Yeah?

We need more wood, Bodie.

They have to be able

to see our fire from the air.

We got a giant shiny tube,

but if anyone's even looking for us,

wouldn't even be able to see it.

I've heard of things

going down in the bush

without a trace, now I know why.

We're practically invisible.

You did that survival training

in cadets. How long we got?

We need water, some food.

Plus we got a sick patient.

Alright, let's get these

signal fires going

in case someone is looking for us.

Alright?

(TENSE MUSIC)

Okay, just breathe.

(BREATHING DEEPLY) Oh, just breathe.

(PLANE WHIRRING SOFTLY)

Plane, Plane, plane!

They're going to pass us!

(INTENSE MUSIC)

- Hey, wait! Tomi, wait!

- No, no!

(FLARE sh**t)

That was our only flare

That plane is way too high

to see a flare.

We needed to save it until

Search and Rescue's flying low.

- You just blew our one chance.

- I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Stay in the plane

and stay out of the way, okay?

It's going to be night soon.

SAR's going to have to stop looking.

So let's get these fires lit.

Hey, Tomi.

I

made a little lean-to by the fire.

Won't even know you're outside.

Spent a month in the bush this winter

so I got real good at closing up cracks,

you know what I'm saying?

Is the captain still pissed at me?

No, he's not mad at you. He's just mad

at the whole situation.

C'mon, Tomi. This thing's metal.

It's going to get

really cold in here tonight.

Look, I don't want to be afraid.

Yeah.

When I was a kid, I got

in a fight with my mom.

I tried to run away.

I got way out in the bush,

and then I slipped on rocks

and broke my leg.

Took my family all night to find me.

I thought I was going to die out there.

Alone

in the dark.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

When I'm in the bush,

and I'm feeling alone,

I just

I just listen.

Here, close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Alright. What do you hear?

(WIND BLOWING SOFTLY)

The wind in the trees.

(BIRD CHIRPING)

And a bird.

Bird, okay. Keep them closed, okay?

Alright. What kind of bird was it?

What kind of sound is she making?

She sounds (BIRD CHIRPING)

She sounds like she's

calling for someone.

Yeah.

Her mate, maybe?

Keep listening.

Can you hear her mate?

Yeah, it sounds like

they're calling back to her.

Good, good.

You're doing really good.

Ten more steps.

What about the trees, can

you hear the wind in the trees?

Is it dark out?

The captain said they'd

have to stop looking for us

when it got dark.

It'll be dark soon, but we have a fire.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

I can't be lost in the bush at night.

Hey, you're not alone,

okay? I promise you.

Tomorrow they'll start looking

for us again, okay?

Okay.

I got you.

Almost there.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

(SOFT MUSIC)

I'm just going

to cover you up, okay, Tomi.

Now you're safe.

That That was impressive.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah.

Bush is great and all, but if you're not

in the right headspace,

it can really mess with you.

Makes you question who you are.

Or it could make you decide

to become a paramedic.

Hey, I think you'd be great at it.

I was just wondering what changed.

I'm trying to change.

I went into the bush to clear my head,

I set snares for rabbits to eat

like my mooshum taught me.

And one day, I

I go to check my traps,

and there's this little fox.

Still alive, choking to death.

I couldn't just leave him

like that, man.

Just die like that,

not for no good reason.

So I grabbed the wire

and I set him free.

But I kept thinking that just

All these innocent people

keep getting hurt

when I'm around and

I don't want to hurt people anymore.

Want to help, you know?

(♪♪)

I don't know, Bodie. None of this

is going to be useful.

There's nothing in here but saline,

barf bags, and oxygen tanks.

We've got some snacks

from the commissary bucket,

but those won't last long.

You ever think it's weird

pilots never talk

about the fact every time

we get into a plane,

there's a chance we might not come home?

My instructor at flight school

had a titanium wedding ring.

It's the only metal

that won't melt in fires

that burn as hot as aviation fuel.

His wife wanted him to have it, in case.

Makes me think I should have

had that second donut before we left.

Should have let myself

have a lot of things.

(SOFT MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

Donor screening found

a close genetic relative.

I think it's my mom.

I've been trying to decide

if I want to meet her, but

but now that I'm stuck out here,

I'm just worried I'm never

going to see my son again.

And it is the worst feeling.

I'm not even worried about me.

I'm worried about him.

And I can't imagine how

anyone can live their life

knowing that they have a child

out there somewhere in the world

that needed them.

I'll do anything to get back to Joel.

You know, if my mom

didn't feel that way about me,

I don't want to meet her.

(SNIFFS)

C'mon, man.

Let's try and get some sleep.

(FIRE CRACKLING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(EERIE MUSIC)

No. No, no, no!

The weather turned.

SAR won't be able to look

for us in this fog.

- They'll never see us.

- What?!

- They can't look for us?

- Tomi

You told me it would be

better in the morning.

You told You told

- (TOMI GASPING)

- Breathe, Tomi, breathe.

Whoa, whoa. Her blood pressure

is way too high.

You need to grab

the oxygen t*nk from the plane.

Go, go, go!

She needs to get to a hospital.

I don't have anything

to treat hypertension.

Just breathe, okay?

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

- There you go, that's it.

- Do you hear that?

(PLANE ENGINE ROARING)

It's twin props, low.

Grab anything that'll burn,

we gotta get this thing

- as big as possible.

- Okay.

I got you.

(GASPING)

(TENSE MUSIC)

There you go.

- There, there, there it is!

- Hey!

(ALL SHOUTING)

Here!

How many more spots on your list?

Hey, 2 o'clock.

We got a darker patch of fog,

it might be smoke.

Can't see sh*t in this soup.

What if it's them down there

trying to signal us?

I have control.

What are you doing?

Trust me!

There.

Holy sh*t, Chops, you found them.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Tristan!

You can hug me later, Cheekbones.

Bodie!

- Bodie!

- Yo.

Are you okay?

Listen, I'm sorry about before.

Forget it, bro. You found us.

You brought me back home to my son.

I can fly.

Bodes, I can, I can fly.

Yeah, I knew you could, Chops.

- Hey.

- Hey.

It's okay. (BABY LAUGHING)

It's okay, bud. Daddy's home.

Daddy's home.

We were so worried about you.

We haven't slept at all.

We're so glad you're okay.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I don't know about this.

Tomi You already crashed

in the woods, alright?

What's the worst that could happen?

Besides, you got

to get your prescription

from your doctor, right?

So you can go meet

your friend from online.

Just a couple more steps, c'mon.

Yeah.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Thank you.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Hey.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

You disappeared for months

without telling me,

and I know why you left.

But I had a hard time

forgiving you for that.

- (SPEAKING NÊHIYAWÊWIN)

-

I've always been hard on you.

And I do take you

for granted, I'm sorry.

- You don't have to.

- No, I do.

I do.

There's something else

you were right about too.

We have a lot of history

and I don't know if I can change,

if we can change together.

I'm always going to want

the best for you, Crys.

I want that for you too.

I'm glad you're okay, Jer.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

- You weren't there.

- Lexi.

I got off the SAR helicopter,

and you were the only person

I wanted to see,

but you weren't there.

- Lexi, I

- I

I thought I was doing the right thing.

Putting my life on hold for my dream,

but I realized

if I keep putting it on hold,

I'll never actually live it.

And after what I just went through,

I'm damn well going to live.

(GENTLE, UPLIFTING MUSIC)

I, um

Is that my shirt?

Look, I know what to do in an emergency.

But I don't know what to do

when they happen to people

I care about, and there's

nothing I can do to help.

Lex, I

I really care about you,

so I did your laundry.

So it would be ready when you got home.

(GIGGLING)

(GIGGLING)

I'll come pick you up tomorrow and spend

the entire day together. Okay?

Hi!

- Still want me to be a pilot?

- Yeah,

we need your paycheck.

But seriously, you're not

allowed to pull that crap again

and leave me parenting alone. Got it?

Right?

I know this isn't easy, Mads,

but I'm glad we're doing it together.

Me too. So no more crash landing.

Deal.

Say bye!

Man I saw at the hangar.

You following me?

Want something?

You better not be bothering my family.

I didn't mean to upset you, Austen

How do you know my name?

I'm Kingsley.

I'm your father.
