Good morning.

GLENN: Nancy.

[CLEARS THROAT]
It has come to
my attention

that I keep pulling
Glenn as my EMT.

The kid is going
to start thinking
that he's my partner.

Good, 'cause he is.

What? Baz, come on!

Look, I'd rather use
mystery meat. I don't need
a partner right now.

Why? What's
wrong with Glenn?

He's too new.

He's too
good-Iooking.

No attachments
keeps me fast.

I don't need
a probie just now.
Okay?

I don't need you fast.
Just good.

Glenn's all right.
He can learn a lot from you.

I can't put him
with Boone.
He's spoken for.

And the other EMTs
will eat him alive.

Last time I checked,
you still had a heart.

So do a good deed.
Do I have a choice?

If you really don't want him,
I'll see if I can't rotate
him with somebody else.

[GROANS]
So, one more thing.

What's the over-and-under
on how long until
I sleep with him?

Seventeen days.

I'm going to make
sure you lose that bet.

I already did.
I had three days.

[DOG BARKING]
ELIZABETH: Honey, I hate it
when you go away.

[PLAYING DISCORDANTLY]

It's just I've got
my hands full taking
Wilson to the doctor,

Garcia to the vet,
and finishing
the loganberry preserves.

And Scooter's no help.
We should fire him.

Wilson, softer.

So, you're
in Massachusetts,
and I'm here alone.

Oh, thank God.

Come on, Garcia!
Come on!

[GRUNTING]

Wilson?

I've got to go.
Wilson!

Come on, now.

Wilson! If you're hiding,
come out! I'm serious!

Wilson! Wilson!

Wilson!

[SCREAMING]

[THUD]

[GARCIA WHIMPERING]

Control, this is
Angel Rescue 2,
en route to Rural Route 2243

for treatment and medevac.

DISPATCHER: Copy,
Angel Rescue 2.

How long since
she hit her head?

I don't know.
Fifteen minutes?
She's still down.

Hey, are the cops
coming?

Don't know.
Should they?

No. Whoa.
I'm just wondering.

Dude,
I'm holding.

Awesome, but I've
got to work.

[GARCIA BARKING]

Back!

Hey. All right.

All right.

Okay, okay. I've got
a blunt head injury.
GCS is three.

Blown pupil.
Possible brain hemorrhage.
This is load and go.

Marisa, I could use
your hands in here.
MARISA: Copy that.

She's all right
though, right?
MARISA: Setting down.

Yeah. She's going
to be fine.

I could use your help
to get the kid

and the dog
out of here.

RABBIT: Marisa.

I gotta go!

RABBIT: [SIGHING]
Oh, God.

[BARKING CONTINUES]

I'm here.

MARISA: Hey, buddy.
This side.

What's your name?

Um...

Wilson.

[GARCIA BARKING]
Wilson.

Back!

WILSON: Mommy.

Whoa.

[CRYING]

Tongue's blocking
the airway.

Marisa, drop
an NPA.

Uh...
Drop an NPA.

I can't do that.
Oh, you're
kidding me.

Hold C-spine, then.
Can you do that?
Hold her head?

Hold it.

RABBIT: All right, kid.
Your mom's going to be okay.
Okay?

We're just gonna buckle
you in. Now, Mommy's going to
take a ride to the hospital.

All right? Don't cry.
All right?

Here, you want to listen
to some of that?

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

That's my own. What do you
think of that? Huh?

How about that?
Like that?

All right. My kind of kid.
I hate kids.

CAMERON: Seriously, dude,
that's your second.
It's not even 11:00.

You see the bulletins?
It says, "Do not down
energy drinks.

"They can dehydrate you."
First of all,
I don't read bulletins.

Okay? And if I collapse,
I've got an awesome paramedic.

Regular coffee
not good enough for you?

Come on, girl.
Come on, baby.

Roll with me
after school.

Roll with you? Where did you
get that from? A video?
You even got a car?

I can get one.
[SCOFFING] You can get one.
Listen to you.

Hold up. I think
that's my boy, D-Rock.
No, you hold up.

You want to be with me,
be with me.
Not your boys.

Yeah. To tell the truth,
they ain't my boys.

[g*n COCKING]

[g*n f*ring]

[GROANING]

[MOANING]

DISPATCHER: Medic 78.
GSW at Bayview Gardens.

How far away
is PD?

Five minutes.
Oh.

[SIREN BLARING]

Man, watch out!
Get help, man!
Get help!

They're here! They're here!
They're here...

TYLER: Now we wait
for the cops.

WOUNDED MAN:
I'm dying, man!
I'm dying!

Hey. Hey, what's going...
Hey, what's going on?

Are you just sitting?
We've got a brother
over here dying.

No, no, no.
Hey, what's up,
cuz? Hey!

TYLER: The cops.
Are you going to sit here
while a brother dies?

They'll be here
in a minute.

I'm getting
out of the rig.

Boone. You go, I go.

No. You stay here, man.

SLY: You need a white cop
to hold your hand?

We're dying, and y'all
going to take your
sweet time in there.

Come on. Hurry up.
He over here dying, man.
SLY: Yeah, come on!

Man, grab something
out your bag, man.

Don't worry. It's not
life-threatening.

SLY: Man, hurry up,
man! Man?

Just calm down.
Yo!

SLY: Where do you
think you're going?

Where do you
think you're going?
He's just bleeding.

Hey, man. You're gonna
get back there
and help him.

Man, if you don't
help him, I'm gonna
lay you down.

Your boy is
just bleeding.

I know he bleeding!
He got sh*t! Get back over
there and help him.

I do not care about her.
I told you I don't care
about her!

He over here dying.
Get back over there
and help my boy.

CAMERON: I told you, man.
He's just bleeding.

What you want?
Okay, don't sh**t
the white guy.

Man. You need to get back
over there, man.
I don't care about her.

TYLER: Yeah?
CAMERON:
She's pale.

[SIREN WAILING]

Let's roll,
let's roll,
let's roll!

OFFICER: Stay right where
you are! Nobody move!

OFFICER 2:
Everybody, on the ground!
Get on the ground right now!

Get on the ground!

On your stomachs!
Now! Palms up!
Get on the ground!

OFFICER 1: Go, go, go,
I'll cover you.

OFFICER 2: Palms up!

OFFICER 1:
Go, I'll cover you.

Okay. Okay, baby.
All right.

Palms on
the ground!

You're supposed
to wait for us.

Tell them that, man.
Tell her that.
She's in shock.

She going to make it?
Probably not.

How about him?

What you going
to do about my boy?

Most likely.

[GROANING]

Ready? Okay.

Y'all k*lling me! God!
Y'all k*lling me!

We're trying
to help you.
Hey!

Grab some restraints.

Doc, we've got a GSW
to the leg, shoulder
and chest.

The problem is his
heart and lungs.

Relax.
Just calm down.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[GROANING]

Hey, hey, hey!
Calm down!
Calm down, man!

Y'all k*lling me, man!
CAMERON: Calm down!

Y'all k*lling me!
No. No, you're doing
that all by yourself.

Let's get him in!
Let's get him in there!

NURSE: You're going
to be all right.

[SIGHING]
Jesus Christ.

[CHUCKLING]

It's bad enough I've got to
go to this counselor's now,
on shift.

Now, I've got
to show up bloody.

Bad enough? No.
The only thing worse
than being bloody is

being married to you.

Listen. I've got
to show you something.

[RABBIT RASPBERRYING]

Oh, great.
An audience.

What's this, Rabbit?
The one you didn't
know about?

Yeah. Hilarious.
Look. His mother fell,
hit her head.

She's now in surgery,
stable, and will be fine.

Thank you very much.

And, well, I guess
Wilson here,
he likes me.

[EXCLAIMING]

Wilson, I've got
to go, all right?

I've just got to
get to work.

Don't.
Don't go, Rabbit.

No, I gotta go, kid.
Come on.
SOCIAL WORKER: Come on,
Wilson. Let Mr. Palchuck go.

Look. I gotta go...
I gotta go, kid.

Here you go.
On the right.

Thanks.

Other one.
Oh.

Other right.

You know, these are actually
better than the ones

you can get in Rome.
You know that?

Really.

I don't know.
I'm just saying.

[PHONE BEEPS]
Mmm.

[LAUGHS]

What?
Classic!

What?

[LAUGHING]
I didn't know
he had a kid.

He doesn't.
That's why it's funny.

Oh.
Oh, I guess you'd
have to know him.

So, if you don't mind me
asking, what's the deal
with you and him?

Uh-uh. You ask whatever
you want about the job,
not about me.

[CHATTERING]

Hey, Dominick.

MAN 2: Hey, Dom.
MAN 3: Hey, Dominick.

MAN 3: Hey! Hey, Dominick!
Dominick, you okay?

DISPATCHER: Medic 114.
Respond to Code Three

to the Macchiarini Steps
for chest pains
and shortness of breath.

Reported a 75-year-old
white male with cardiac
history and hypertension.

Okay. Message received.
Medic 114 going to
Macchiarini Steps. Code Three.

[SIREN WAILING]

[GROANING]
GLENN: I'm going to need
you to back up, guys.

Sir? Sir, can you tell me
when this happened
and where the pain is?

It feels like an elephant
is on my chest.
Sir, where is your pain?
Is it radiating?

It's in my chest
and down my arm.
sh**ting down my arm.

Okay. Monitor?
I got it. I got it.

Okay, then it's yours.
I'm gonna go get...

[DOMINICK CRYING]

Is he going
to be okay?

Listen. Sir,
I need you to get...
Listen, listen.

Sir. Sir, I need you
to get back.

If you want me to help
your buddy, just stand back.

All right.
Just stay calm,
all right?

Let's see
what's going on.
God, it hurts!

It hurts bad!
I want you
to breathe steadily.

I'm just going
to check some things out,
see what's going on here.

[DOMINICK WHIMPERING]

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[MOANING] It hurts.
It hurts...
I know.

Hold on, sir.

Nancy! I think we better
get this guy
a little morphine.

Yeah, I'm just
getting it!

Nancy, this guy
needs morphine!

NANCY: Yeah, I've got it!

Hold on, sir.
Stay calm.
God!

He's in v-fib!

[MONITOR FLATLINING]

Listen, the monitor's doing
all this weird stuff.
Is that v-tach? Look at it.

[NORMAL BEEPING RESUMES]

[CHUCKLES]

What the hell
was that?

[GROANS]

Okay, sir. I don't know
if you can hear me,

but we believe
you are having
a heart att*ck.

We are going to give
you some morphine.

But in the meantime,
I want to try
this experimental drug.

It's a gas.
It's called
Oxyjonian 415.

Okay? It has a 25% chance
that it might actually
stop your heart.

Smoking, opiate addiction,
alcoholism all make it worse.

[MUMBLING]

Sir, I'm only
trying to help you.

Really. I'm okay.
No. Really. I'm fine.

All right.
No ride for you
today, my friend.

You can't blame
a guy for trying.

Yeah, well, you'll have
to try and get your dr*gs
elsewhere. Okay?

NANCY: Get out of here.

[GLENN CHUCKLES]

Oxygen? Really?

Yeah. Never
stopped a heart, yet.

Hey, come on.
Don't feel bad,
you know?

You did everything
perfectly.

This guy is
an expert.

Well, what the hell was that?
Why was it reading like that?

Well, he was screwing around
with the leads. So, it changes
the reading on the monitor.

What a jerk!

Yeah, well, there are
thousands of them
in this city.

You know? They use us
for rides or dr*gs.

Sometimes, it gets nasty.
They spit. They steal.

Try to kick our asses.
You know?

We use Oxyjonian 415
to try and save time
and trouble.

Welcome to
San Francisco.

MARISA: There you are.
I was looking for you.

Awesome.
Let's get out of here.

Tell me it's
a good one,
though, huh?

No kids or dogs.

Where's... Where's
your little friend?

I want to talk
to you outside. Now.

Okay.

Jeff. Oh!
Diana Van Dine.

My favorite intern.

Good morning.
Good morning.

Oh, it's afternoon,
Rabbit.

Nice job
on the head trauma.

Thank you.
I try.

Don't do that
when I'm around.

What? What?

"Good morning.
Good morning."

Hey, look. I don't want
to make a big deal
out of this,

but do you have
your EMT certificate?

Yeah, of course I do.
All medevac pilots have to.

So, why are you
so crappy at doing
basic life support?

I'm not.
No, no, no.
I mean, really.

I ask you to drop an NPA.
You can hardly hold a C-spine.

What's going on?
Come on. I know
you're not queasy.

I fly them.
You patch them up.
We're all good.

No, we're not.
We're not all good.

I have to know what
you can and cannot do.
Bottom line.

Okay. You want
to know what
I can do?

Yeah.

You fire up any one
of these cars, I can tell you
exactly what's wrong with it.

If it's got a fouled plug.
If the fan belt's about
to shear off.

I can fly Apaches,
Black Hawks.

I can burp
the alphabet backwards.

Look, that's really cute.
I don't have time for this.

People are messy.

They don't do what
you expect them to do.

Especially the hurt people.

Flesh is fallible. So?

[SIGHS]

Flesh is fallible?

When you say stuff like that,
makes me want to punch you.

I am certified and qualified
to do this job.

And I can do
what needs to be done.

I just don't like it.

Oh, you don't like it?

Well, maybe you got
the wrong job.
Did you think about that?

You have no idea
where I've been. Okay?

What you call a rush,
I call retirement.

Don't doubt me.

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

but I feel like
the bad guy
in my own house,

and that's the problem.

But you were just fine
and dandy before
you got caught.

I never said that.
You didn't say
a lot of things.

All right. How much
more am I supposed
to be punished?

I'm already living
under suspicion.
Cameron, you don't
get it, do you?

This isn't about you.

Do you think
I'm never tempted?

Do you think no one
ever comes on to me?

But I made a commitment
to you and to our family,
and I honored that commitment.

I am committed. I mean,
how much more do you
want me to do?

Oh, please.
I don't know.
ANNIE: Sela.

I really don't know.

ANNIE: Cameron.
This back and forth
isn't gonna help anybody.

First, can you both agree
that we will continue
counseling?

Yeah... Yes.

Yeah.
ANNIE: Good.

Now, let's cut
to the chase.

Are either of you seriously
considering a separation?

NURSE: $50 if you
get him in the eye.
In the eye.

[ALL GROANING]

NURSE: Come on!
I don't know
if I can do this one.

NURSE: You can do it.
Come on. Come on.

[ALL EXCLAIM]

RABBIT: Oh, I don't know
what's wrong with me today.

Come on, put some more
money on the table.

[CROWD EXCLAIMING]

RABBIT: Can I do it again?
You need to make more noise.

[CHEERING]

JOE: Get out.

You think this is
a frat party?

Since when do you
wait out calls here?

Well, you know,
California's broke.

[CHUCKLING] They're
on to us to save gas.

Where's Marisa?

Copter.

Now, she seems like
a well-trained,
responsible professional.

Maybe you should
be with her.

Will do.

Hey.
Hey.

It's funny how
you just show up.

I could say
the same thing about you.

Except I work here.

[CHUCKLING] True.

Don't you have something
borderline stupid to do?

Got a few ideas.

I just walked into that,
didn't I?

Uh-huh.
Mmm-hmm.

And is this the part where
I go with you to the
physical-therapy room?

What?
Girls talk.

Which ones?

All of them.

Why don't you try
asking me out
on a proper date sometime?

Oh. Dates with me,

they're not
usually proper.

That's not going
to work. Sorry.

Wait.

[STAMMERING] Wait.
I could maybe...

Rabbit, get to work!

Sir.
Get to work!

Yes, sir.
Work!

Got it.

Oh, boy.
Come on, Boone.

Walk in the spirit, brother,

not in the flesh.

[WHOOPS]

Hey!

TYLER: Hey, hey, hey.

Thanks for
covering for me.

Of course. Oh, of course.
Been pretty quiet.

Yeah?
Not a lot happening.

So, how did it go?

[SCOFFS]

Pretty freaking awful.
How is that?

Yeah? Do you need
a place to stay?

No, not that awful.

Not yet.

That's good. That's like cup
half full type of view of it.

Okay.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

I wasn't there.

Do you really think so?

Come on, Mom.

Oh. That looks
pretty big.
I don't know.

All right.
Mom, listen.

It's true that most
rock-climbing accidents
happen on artificial walls,

but they're nowhere
near as bad as what
happens on real rocks.

Go on. I'm going
to look at the shirts.
I'll come in a bit.

Okay. Thanks.

Hi. How are you?
Did you see the purple shirt?

Matt, I love that you are
making these. I've been
dreaming about them all day.

Well, you can take
the boy out of Oklahoma,

but you cannot take
the Okie out of the boy.

How many you want?
All right.
Two.

With jelly.
You got it.

How many calories are
in one of these things,
anyway?

No calories,
whatsoever.

Well, hey.
Give me three, then.
[CHUCKLES] You got it.

Matt! Matt! Matt!

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[CAR HORN BLARING]

[CAR HORN BLARING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

MAN: I don't think
he's breathing!

NANCY: Okay, Glenn.
We're first on site.

So, I'm acting IC
until the white hats get here.

You know how
to do triage?

Huh?

Do you know how to do...
Yeah. Yeah.

Then do it.

[GROANING]
GLENN: All right. All right.

Listen! Everyone who can walk,
I want you to go over
and stand near the ambulance.

If you're not sure,
just stay put.

Everyone else,
just stay clear!

Control, this is Medic 114.
We've got Red Alert

at Embarcadero
and 3rd Street.

This is Paramedic Carnahan
acting as medical command.

We need eight more ambulances,
SFFD rescue squad,

aeromedical copter,
two engine stations

and SFPD Code Three
for crowd control.

Sir? Sir, do you
know where you are?

Embarcadero Street Fair.
He didn't stop.
MAN: Hey!

He's drunk! He's drunk!

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Take your hands off him!

Hey! Take your
hands off him, man!

Get your hands off him!
Calm down. Listen.

Step back! Step back!
He went through
all these people, man.

k*lling him is
not going to help any...

Step back.
Step back, please.

Sir? Do you
know your name?

[MUMBLING]
Huh?

[SIRENS WAILING]

Nancy, I need you
over here.

NANC Y: Copy.
I'm on my way.

[SIREN BLARING]

MAN: It's going to be
okay, man. You just got
a little cut on your leg.

Somebody help me.

It's going to be okay.
Just hang in there, man.
Hang in there.

They're here.
They're here.
CAMERON: Sir?

Okay. All right, sir?
Yeah.

Sir, do you know
your name?
Yeah, I'm Matt. Matt.

Matt. Okay, Matt. I'm Boone.
This is Tyler.

Okay.

I'm going to be cutting
your clothes. All right?
MATT: Okay.

Just help me!
All right.

[SCREAMING]
All right, I'm sorry.

TYLER: It's all right, man.
All right, I need
an air medevac.

I got an open
femur fracture.

No pulse.
Massive bleeding.

Okay, Boone.
We're two minutes away.

Two and a half.
Okay, Boone.
We're 2.5 minutes away.

Okay, step back.
What do we have?

He started out dazed,
non-verbal, non-alert.
Then he just went downhill.

I mean, he doesn't
smell like alcohol.

That's 'cause
he's not drunk.

Okay. We need
to transport him and now.

GLENN: You got him?
I got him.

Okay. I need you to
put some pressure on his leg.

[SCREAMING]

TYLER: I know, Matt,
I know.

CAMERON:
We're coming.

CAMERON: Okay, Matt.
We're trying to help you.

MATT: I know.
CAMERON: Okay.

[SCREAMING]

Matt? Matt, it's...
Come on, come on.
Matt, just hold on, man.

All right.

CAMERON: All right.
I need a tourniquet.

Okay, Matt.

Listen. The broken bone
in your leg has cut
a major artery. Okay?

We're going to have
to put a tourniquet on.

It's going to hurt.
Bad. All right?
Okay.

You've already lost too much
blood for us to give you
any pain medication.

You just listen
to the sound of my voice,
all right?

CAMERON: Put his leg up.
Ready?

Okay. One.
Two. Three.

[SCREAMING]

You're doing great, Matt.
Just listen to my voice.

Matt, I need you
to work with me.

On the count of three.
Ready? One, two...

[SCREAMING]

TYLER: Okay, there we go.

Okay, Matt.
Good job.
Fantastic. All right.

Angel Rescue 2 on scene
and ready for immediate
medevac by priority.

Get him to the chopper.
Come on, guys. Let's go.

All right.
This is Matt.

We've got
an open femur fracture.
Massive bleeding.

A tourniquet
to stop the bleeding.

Rocking.
Congratulations, Matt.

Your first flight.

I have air medevac
with an arterial bleed
and an open fracture.

DISPATCHER: Trauma bed
open at City. They're prepped
and waiting for you.

NANCY:
Hold on there, Rabbit, okay?
I have a massive stroke here.

There's another chopper
four minutes out.

No, his BP's


The patient started off
dazed, and now he has
no pain response.

He's crashing.

Okay. Hey.
Stroke goes.

Matt, you give us five.
Your copter's on its way.

Nancy, you and your stroke
meet us here at landing.

RABBIT: Got it?

Hey, Rabbit. I think you
should know that

our patient is the guy
that drove through the crowd.

Bring him to the copter,
Nancy! And tell your
puppy dog to stop barking!

Hang in there, Matt!
I'll see you at City!

It seems to me
that the stroke happened
before the accident.

Okay. Good to know.

Partial head bleed?
Uh-huh.

Clear.
Okay?

RABBIT: All right.

Three!

Hey, Glenn. We do
medical triage,
not moral. Okay?

So whatever someone's done
or you think they've done
means nothing!

You got it?
Yeah. I...

Don't ever tell me anything
about a patient except
the vitals and sheet!

Don't forget.
You're a probie, all right?
I sure as hell won't.

RUDY: Miss! Miss!

Can you help my mom?

Sure. Show me
where she is.

Miss! Miss,
can you hear me?

What's your name?

Clear it out.

Boone, I need an extra
set of hands,
and I need it now.

TYLER: Okay.
No distracting injuries.

Okay, C-spine's good.

NANCY: Okay.
Sharps away.
Give me a line.

TYLER: All right.
And airway's clear.
I've got it flush.

All right.
We've got a head trauma,
possible internal injuries.

Okay. TKO it.

We've got broken ribs.
Shallow breathing.

I need the adhesive.
GLENN: I got it.

Palpable
depression.

CAMERON: Okay.
How's her eyes?

Pupils are
responsive.

All right. We've got
a very weak pulse.

NANCY: Boone?
It's tension pneumothorax.

I got it.

NANCY:
You got the needle?
TYLER: Yeah. Here.

Hey, Mom. It's me.

RUDY: It's going to be okay.

Everything's going
to be okay.

RABBIT: Joe.
His vitals are normal.
He just came back.

Everything's stable.
We've got a rate of 100.

BP 180 over 100.
Rhythm's good.

JOE: Nice work.

I did nothing.
I mean, it just happened.

Yeah. People
are unpredictable.

They sure are.

NANCY: Needle.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

[MARION GASPING]

I think she needs
a new bag.

Get her a new bag.
Get a new bag.

I'm...
NANCY: And I need
the adhesive.

Come on,
Glenn.

NANCY:
You want to be a doctor
when you grow up?

Yeah. What you
guys do is amazing.

You get good grades?

Yeah.

It's a good start.

RABBIT:
His blood pressure
was still elevated,

and his neuro
is stabilized.

Oh. Also, the cops are
probably going to want
to talk to him

if he regains
consciousness.

He's the driver?

Yeah. Hey, Matt.
There you are.

JOE: He coded in
the copter on the way in.

The tourniquet held, but...

You okay?

Me? Peachy. Why?

Oh, you know, I made
a life-and-death decision.

One lived. One d*ed.

Tell them both
how I feel about it.

See who cares, huh?

It's a big day.
Don't spin yet.

MARISA:
Angel Rescue 2 on scene.
Nancy, we're coming back in.

Nothing happens
when I squeeze her hand!

NANCY: I know, buddy.

Uh-uh. No way.
No kids.
Not today.

He's coming, Rabbit.
And so am I.

All right.
All aboard. Over there.

Over there, kid.

Clear.

ALL: One, two, three.
And up!

TYLER: Watch
that monitor, baby.

RABBIT: Here. Monitor.
TYLER: Got it?

Door! Glenn! Door!

GLENN: All right,
got it.

Hey, Nancy.
Don't get too wrapped up
in this one, okay?

TYLER: Great job, man.

Hey, thanks, man.
I appreciate it.

No, I was talking
to the kid.

We're in the air now.
It won't be long.

Joey, we're inward bound
with a comatose female.
Multiple crush trauma.

Pulse?



BP?


Has had thoracostomy.
Suspect internal injuries.

Dr. Carnahan?

Oh, I'm not
a doctor, Rudy.

Okay, well,
is my mom going
to be all right?

Yeah. Yeah, Rudy,
your mom is going to live.

Yeah, but is she
going to be okay?

Rudy. Rudy,
your mom is...

She's gonna
be fine, okay?

Seriously.
You're doing good.
Hang in there.

JOE: I've got a skull fracture
loading off the copter now.

It's bad. She's unconscious.
How soon can you be here?

See you then.

Rudy!
Dad!

Oh, my God.
She's going
to be okay, Dad.

JOE: We're ready
for surgery.

Dad? I'll be out to talk
to you as soon as I know
anything, all right?

Hey. Can I go?

Hey. Rudy, we've got to
let the doctors do
their thing now, okay?

Well, aren't you going
to go with her?

Sure.

[WHISPERING]
Massive trauma.
GCS is three.

JOE: Dr. Hanover is
on his way.

They'll take
care of her.

He and Marion,
they're like
best friends.

RABBIT: Yeah.
He's a good kid.

Looking good
out there, Boone.
All right.

No love?

What?

Unbelievable.
Man. I feel like
such a d*ck, man.

You're just figuring
that out right now?

No. No, that thing
earlier with Sela.

You know, I was pissed off
because it was so quiet.

It's like I was just
waiting for a call, man.

It's messed up.

Dude, I feel like
that all the time.

TYLER: All right. Let's see
what other kind of fun
we can get into.

I'm hungry.
You're hungry?
Noodles?

HANOVER: Cerebral edema.
Lack of sulci.

No uncal herniation,
and no blood
on the ventricles.

[SIGHS] The outcome
does not look good.

But there is
neurologic activity.

Joe, when exactly did you
start inviting ambulance
drivers into surgery?

She's right.
There is activity, though.

HANOVER: Probably just
the brain's version
of white noise.

The extent of the injury will
take 24 hours to show itself.

I'm not saying it's outside
the realm of possibility
that she'll recover.

I mean, if she shows
some signs of responding,

a word,
voluntary motor function,

it would be a good sign.

I've seen this before,
many, many times.

Most likely outcome?
Non-verbal, non-motor,
no memory.

I'll let them know
that they've just
become caregivers.

Doctor, would you mind
if I did that?

Yeah, well,
this really is
a physician's responsibility.

I'll take care of it.

As you wish.

Take it easy, Joe.
See you next rotation.

You see, that's why
I never went into practice.

Because a-holes like that
would become my colleagues.

I can talk
to the boy, too.
You don't have to.

No, I do.

JOE: Dad, may I speak
to you for a moment?

You were really
something else
out there.

She's not going to be
okay, is she?

Rudy, you did everything you
could for your mom out there.
Everything.

We all did.

Is there anyone
smart enough to help her?

[SIGHS]
Oh, honey...

It's not about
being smart.

Look, you just keep
on doing everything
you're doing, okay?

And I'm going to be working
tomorrow, so I'm going
to make sure that Dr. Joe

keeps me up to date
on everything, okay?

And if you need anything
at all, you call me.

Yeah?

Okay.

I am so sorry.

Thank you.

[BOTH CRYING]

Hey, Rabbit,
can I get a lift?

Tyler.
Yeah?

Four out of five
we got to today made it.
That's not bad, huh?

Yeah, well, unless
you're the fifth.

Yo, Glenn.

It gets better.
Trust me. Everybody's a d*ck
to the new guy at first.

Yeah? For how long?

Until he turns
into a d*ck, too.

Peace.

Your name is
Marion Phillips.

You live on Hayes Avenue,
and you really like daffodils.

Your favorite color is green,

but you sometimes say
you like blue better.

You like to take early
morning walks on the beach.

When the fog rolls in,
it always makes you smile.

You say it's like
a cozy blanket on the city.

Hey, we did the right thing
with the arterial bleed.

Yeah, I know.

Still sucks, though.

Worse for him
than for us.

[SIGHS] What are
you doing tonight?

I'm going home,
Rabbit.

Okay, cool.

[CAMERON SIGHS]

What?

What are you
doing tonight?

Nothing. Why?

I want to show
you something.

Okay, but if you
touch me, I'll sh**t you.

All right.

This is an NPA.
Nasal pharyngeal
airway.

Okay?
Okay.

And this is how you drop
it in your patient.
A little lube like that.

Mmm-hmm.
That's gross.

As so.

The trick is
to twist it.

[GRUNTS]

Oh...
Like that.

What is wrong
with you?

Now, your turn.

Is it going to hurt?

Like you wouldn't believe.
So, you've got to do it right.

Hey.

Hey.

Look. I get it. I saw
Glenn out there today.

He is seriously green.

I'll see
if I can't put him
with somebody else.

Actually, I was coming
by to say, "Can I keep him?"

Why? What changed
your mind?

I don't know.
We've all got
to start somewhere.

I didn't know you
were such a sweetheart.

Yeah. Nor did I.

It turns out
I've got a big heart.

[CHUCKLES]
NANCY: See you!

Yeah.

You have gardens
in the backyard.

Sometimes you cook.

It's usually
not that great,

but you make
a fantastic
grilled cheese.

And I love you a lot.
