First Responders (2020): Season 1, Episode 1 - Återvändaren - full transcript

FIRST RESPONDERS

The numbers match.
It's all within normal range.

-Are you upset?
-What makes you say that?

-I don't know.
-Think about it.

We've gone through
about 50 applications

and met with people for months.

We had four or five options
of good doctors with good judgement.

Then you go and hire
an inexperienced little girl.

Have you met her?
Checked her qualifications?

Of course I've met her. So have you.

Are you mad?



You hire someone because she was a
good girl when she was six years old.

Be sensible!
You don't know who she is today

or whether she's a competent doctor.

I was hoping for reinforcement,
but now I have to babysit someone.

We're not going to babysit anyone.
Come here.

I don't have time for this.
Don't be late to your budget meeting!

Damn it!

Okay...

No.

Oh no...!

No...

No!

-Zara?
-Hi, Lennart!

Hi! It's so lovely to see you!



-How are you? How's the family?
-Good. They're good.

How are you? And Kerstin?
Is Daniel still in town?

We're good. Daniel is a councillor...
however that happened.

I don't know.
Kerstin is here somewhere.

Here is your access card.

You can change down the hall
and meet me in the staff room.

-Down the hall to your left.
-Thank you.

-Go ahead.
-Thank you.

We have work stations in every room,
but you can relax here.

-This is Bj?rn.
-Hi.

-This is Zara, our new registrar.
-Welcome to ?re Medical Centre.

-It's nice to be here.
-You've been here before.

-A long time ago.
-When you were a child, right?

I have to go to a meeting,
but Bj?rn will show you around.

-See you later.
-Thank you.

Bj?rn, can you take these? You can
hand them over to Kerstin later.

-Sure. This is Yousef.
-Hi.

-Hello.
-He's one of the doctors here.

-I'm the senior nurse. I have a PhD.
-Oh yeah? In what?

-Orthopaedic cast techniques.
-Interesting.

We treat nearly
1.500 fractures a year here.

The winter season is especially busy.
Here's Kerstin!

-Hi, Kerstin.
-Hi, Zara. Long time, no see.

I was just telling Lennart how happy
I am to have been given this chance.

Well, sometimes you get lucky.

-We had many applicants.
-I understand.

Sofia, this is Zara,
our new registrar.

Nice to meet you. I have to go.

Hang on. Can't you bring Zara along?

Of course.

-Is that okay?
-Sure, no problem.

Welcome to the team.

-She might be great.
-I'll believe it when I see it.

-It's busier in the winter, right?
-People get hurt in the summer too.

-Are you sure I can come?
-It's on me if it goes sideways.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to put it in your face.

-Are you coming?
-Yeah.

Good. What shoe size are you?
You can change in the ambulance.

Good morning! Let's go.

It just says:
"Paraglider landed in the forest".

-Did you always want to be a doctor?
-Yeah, since childhood.

That's nice.
I've always wanted to be a paramedic.

I never got my license in Oslo,
so I did a regular nurse's degree.

When I broke up with my ex,
I saw an opportunity.

The system is different in Sweden,
so I did another university course

and now I'm a paramedic.

Excuse me. Where do you want me
when we get there?

We'll have to see when we get there.

I've lived here for two years now.

MOUNTAIN RESCUE

Search!

Hey, Tomas!
I'll park in the middle.

Hi!

We'll need a stretcher,
the long ladder, rope, and a saw.

-So, we don't know where she is?
-No, but it's that direction.

-Hi, sis!
-Hi, GT!

-Did you go kayaking this weekend?
-No, it was raining.

So what?

-What do we know?
-A paraglider had a bad landing.

Has anyone spoken to her?

No, another paraglider saw her crash.
I'll take that.

This is Zara, the new registrar.

-Hi. Markus.
-Zara.

-She's lucky to join me today.
-Congratulations. Welcome.

-Hi. ?sa.
-Zara.

-So it's your first day?
-Yeah.

I've never done anything like this
before, so tell me if I'm in the way.

We will, I promise.
Especially Tomas over there.

You have to come and say hi.

Hi.

-Rim has found her.
-Strap this down and let's go.

-Don't get lost.
-I'll look after him.

Zara! Get on.

Come on.

Hold on. Are you okay?

-I'm fine.
-Good.

-Can you get me down?
-We will. You'll be fine. Relax.

-My name is Sofia. What's your name?
-Malin.

-Where does it hurt?
-My leg.

-Does it hurt anywhere else?
-No.

-Are you struggling to breathe?
-No, I'm fine.

-You'll be fine, Malin.
-What do you want me to do?

Remove the shoe from the uninjured
leg and give her some pain relief.

Then we'll use the quick splint
and put a neck brace on her.

You'll be fine, Malin.

Secure her with your own ropes,
then we'll lower her down.

-Do you remember what happened?
-My wing started spinning.

-Do you remember the crash?
-I passed out.

Lucky you wore a helmet.

I'm going to give you pain relief.
Are you allergic to any medication?

No.

Hurry up and secure the ropes!

-There.
-Pull them straight across.

-Are you okay?
-It hurts.

-I've given you pain relief.
-Pull it across.

What the hell?

Damn it!

Rope!

-Got it?
-Yeah.

Malin? Are you awake? Good.

We're going to get you down now.

Tighten it!

Are you okay?
I'm cutting the rope.

Go ahead.

-Have you got her?
-Yeah.

We need to turn it.

-Careful.
-You're doing great, Malin.

They flushed the powder
down the toilet...

He didn't see when it happened.

So it's just a report that's
impossible to investigate further.

I'll have to call you back.
They're here now.

Hi!

-What's her status?
-One, two, three...

-Has she had any pain relief?
-Yeah, no, she hasn't.

One, two, three!

Good luck, Malin.

We're leaving ?re. Estimated arrival
in ?stersund in 20 minutes.

Copy that.
We're ready to receive you.

-Did I spell it correctly?
-Yes, thank you.

I've stalked you,
but I'm also dyslexic.

-That's so sweet.
-No worries.

I was wondering if you wanted to...
Hand cream?

get settled at home
or if you want to go grab a beer?

I'd love to. Where do you go?

Olav's. Always. Markus owns it.

The Markus we just saw?

Yeah, he's a fireman,
owns a restaurant, runs a hotel...

He's also a friend of mine, so I'll
get you a discount on your beer.

I have to write my report.
I'll see you later.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I've just restocked the drugs.

How is Kerstin, really?

She's fine. She can be a bit odd.
She's a bit square.

Lennart is easier to deal with.

Here we go again!

-Can I come?
-Of course. Take this.

56-20, you'll be first at the scene.
Fire and rescue are on their way.

Copy that.

Several cars involved. It's unclear
when the accident happened.

Rescue 56-20. Situation report.
Two cars involved.

One modern, in the ditch.
The car is empty.

The other is an older car. High
velocity crash. It looks bad. Over.

Copy that, 56-20. Fire service and
paramedics are eight minutes out.

Damn it.

Hi, Lennart. How are you doing?

-I'm so goddamned annoyed.
-Okay.

-How's your neck?
-It hurts.

-I want you to look straight forward.
-I know, I know.

-How do you feel otherwise?
-I don't know. Everywhere hurts.

But I think I'm alright.

-I'm stuck here!
-I know.

Do you remember the crash?
How fast were you going?

Some idiot came flying over the hill.

He started swerving
all over the road. A black car.

-He's in the ditch over there.
-Great. There's some justice, then.

Wonderful. How's he doing?

Lennart... Just relax.
The others are on their way.

-We'll get you taken care of.
-I'm so pissed off.

Did we hear more about the crash?
Is anyone coming here?

Only that two passenger cars
were involved.

It sounded serious,
so I doubt they'll come here.

Your patient's in room four.

Lennart Sj?lin.

Hi, it's me.
I just wanted to check in.

I'm going home to freshen up
before dinner.

Call me when you're on your way.
Love you.

The cars seem to have been here
for an hour or so.

Copy that.

There we go.
I'm going to release it now.

-Hi, Lennart. What's happened?
-Sofia, stabilise the neck.

-Take it easy. Be careful.
-How's it going?

Hi, Lennart. What happened?
I'm putting on the neck brace.

I was run off the road.

We're going to cut the roof open
and use the spine board.

No, no stretchers.

Lennart, you know that we have to...

Cut it open here.

-Are you using that now?
-Yes.

-You better get going then.
-I'm going to.

-Did you lose consciousness?
-No, I haven't been unconscious.

I remember the crash,
I remember my birthday,

I can put my finger
onto the tip of my nose.

I'm giving you some pain relief.

-How's it going in here?
-Done! Let me know if you're in pain.

-Will do.
-We have to cover you now.

-I want to stay with Lennart.
-I'm leaving.

-Careful.
-I'm staying here with you.

We're getting a blanket as well.
How exciting.

-It'll be fine.
-How lovely.

It'll be fine.

Foreign plates.
Huh? It really stinks!

The airbag's been deployed,
but it's bloody. What does that mean?

We've got a few bottles
of alcohol here.

That means he was holding something
in his hand when he crashed.

Tomas! The stretcher!

Let's remove it.

The stretcher's behind you.

One, two, three.

-I can do it myself.
-Don't worry, Lennart.

-The helicopter isn't here yet.
-That won't be necessary.

You've been in a crash,
of course you're going to hospital.

They can patch me up
at the medical centre.

Look at the ammo.
Maybe he's been shot.

Huh?

-There's no gun.
-Should we search the forest?

-Hi, Johan. ?sa.
-Hi.

-You can cordon off the area.
-Right...

-He must be bleeding badly.
-Goddamn drunk driver.

-How's Lennart?
-It's terrible.

-But he doesn't seem to be in danger.
-Good.

-?sa? I think he's gone that way.
-Let's go.

Rim!

-How are you?
-Maybe a broken foot, some bruises.

-Otherwise, I'm fine. How are you?
-You need to get to a hospital.

Go on, Zara. Stand your ground.

It's just... I'm a bit older.
I'm more experienced than you.

I know when I feel fine.

Let's stop this nonsense.

Cancel the helicopter
and drive me to the medical centre.

-You have to get to a hospital.
-I'm refusing medical treatment.

Was that clear enough?
You can't take me to a hospital.

Fine.

Will you take care of these?
That's all for today!

I'll see... Oh well.

-I'm leaving as well.
-Okay.

-Hi. Are you leaving?
-Yes.

-Have a nice evening.
-You too.

I haven't heard anything
from the accident. Should I...

Call them before we leave.

14-12-71, from the ambulance.

14-12-71, Medical Centre here. Over.

We're coming in with a patient.

I wanted to check
that you're still there.

-What's the status?
- I don't know how to describe it...

Male, over sixty, broken foot,
stubborn... We'll be there in ten.

Copy that.
We'll stay here. Over and out.

What a strange call.
You'll have to practice with her.

Well... I'll stay for a bit.

Remember, he's armed.

I'll let you know when we're close,
so you can shoot him.

I should have brought my rifle.

Lennart! Was that what you were
implying over the radio?

-He refused to be taken to hospital.
-Did you crash your car?

Some idiot ran me off the road.

-I heard it was a serious crash.
-It was.

-Why are you here?
-He refused treatment.

You should know better.
He needs a scan.

Stop it.
Just patch me up, so I can go home.

Lennart, stop this nonsense.

If anything needs to be pulled into
place, I want to be the one doing it.

Lennart? I'll be right back.

Let's raise him a little.

Police! Show me your hands!

Police! Show me your hands!

Grab the rifle.

-I can't stand seeing him like that.
-I understand.

Describe the car.

It had flipped over into the ditch.
The car was badly damaged.

According to the first report,
it was a high velocity crash. Was it?

Yes.

Tell Zara to do an ultrasound
of his torso

and check his pupils
every five minutes.

-I can't look at her right now.
-I understand.

But it wasn't her fault.

-Do you want a hug?
-No.

Let me know if you need anything.

-He was very lucky.
-Yes, considering.

Unless he's gotten worse, that is.

-Are you going?
-Yeah, in a minute.

I have to wait for the hearse.

I need to wait for the recovery team.

If anyone hears anything
about Lennart, let the others know.

I'll come over with beer and food
at 7.30 pm, Tomas.

-You want to join?
-Of course.

-Here they are. Great.
-I'm off.

Well done.

Take care.

Now you're a human advertisement
for the medical centre.

I really look forward to it.

Can I have some pain relief?
My whole body hurts.

-Of course.
-And a blanket. I'm cold.

Where does it hurt,
apart from your foot?

Left side, left arm.

I'm sorry, Lennart, but...

Who should I ask for advice,
if I need it?

-What do you mean? Me or Kerstin?
-Yeah.

You should listen to me.
What have you seen?

You have fluid in your abdomen.
How do I know if it's blood?

Oh... That's a tough call.

It's not so strange.

Some fluid in the abdomen
at my age is normal.

-It could be fat, as well.
-I don't think it is.

No?

Fine, ask Kerstin.

Can you clean this?

-You'll be alright, Lennart.
-I'm sure.

-Hello?
- Are you going to the medical centre?

-Yeah, I'm going there now.
-Good, I'll see you there.

Hi! How... How is he?

-I don't really know.
-Okay. Where is he?

He's in there.

-Can we go in?
-Yes.

How are you doing?

Hi, dad.

Hi, Daniel. Did mum scare you?

No, you're the one
who almost killed yourself.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

-What's his status?
-He had fluid in his abdomen.

But like he said,
it's normal at his age.

-Or it could be fat.
-Or you're bleeding internally.

We're calling the helicopter. Bj?rn!

His left side is hurting,
despite the pain relief.

What does that mean?

It's not helping.
I'm in even more pain now.

Lennart. I love you.

It'll be okay, Kerstin.

It'll be fine.

I don't know...
if I've made a terrible mistake.

I don't know...

Cardiac arrest!

Ten millilitre adrenaline,
intravenously.

Bj?rn, start CPR.
He's in cardiac arrest.

Markus?
Are you checking in on Lennart?

-Yeah, I am.
-I'll come with you.

-He's such a stubborn old man.
-He's probably on his feet already.

Did you hear what he said to Sofia
in the ambulance?

Kerstin? What's going on?

Kerstin?

...two, three, four, twenty-five,
six, seven...

...twenty-six, twenty-seven,
twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty...

One, two, three, four, five...

...twenty-seven, twenty-eight,
twenty-nine, thirty!

Hey...

Daniel? It'll be okay.

Kerstin... I'm sorry.
I did everything I could.

He didn't make it.

Hey...

-Hi.
-Hi. Are you okay?

-Yeah. And you?
-I'm fine.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I would have liked to show you Olav's
in different circumstances.

-Gin and tonic? Or is whisky okay?
-Whisky is fine.

-And for Zara?
-Whisky for me too.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

Let's toast to Lennart.

To Lennart.

-Have you written your report?
-Yeah.

Damn it.

-Should we go in?
-No, I just want to go home.

I'll drive you.

Screw this. I'm going home.

I'll stay for a bit.

-Should I walk you?
-No, I'll be fine.

-Good night.
-See you later.

-Good night.
-Bye.

How old were you
when you met Lennart?

Eight and a half.
It was almost 20 years ago.

-Where were you living?
-At Continental, an asylum centre.

We lived there for seven months,
before I moved to Stockholm.

And then you come back here.
That's quite nice.

Back to Lennart who made me want to
become a doctor... and then he dies.

-Thank you, Markus.
-You're welcome.

-Awful circumstances.
-Yeah, but we appreciate it anyway.

Zara? See you later.

-Bye.
-Take care.

-More?
-Please.

TOMAS' CARPENTRY
MOUNTAIN RESCUE

Do you want to come in?

-Hi, darling.
-Will you be home soon?

-Yeah, I'm just outside.
- Is it true about Lennart?

-Yes, Kevin. I'm sorry.
- Damn it.

-That's so sad.
-I'm coming in now.

He's really sad.

Everyone liked Lennart.

I have to walk Rim anyway.

Thank you.

-For what?
-Driving me home.

That's okay.

You don't like whisky?

No, I just... prefer coffee.

I can't stay here.
I have to go back to Stockholm.

I need to find another job.

Maybe this isn't the time
to make such big decisions.

No... Maybe not.

-I have to get home.
-I'll walk you.

-You don't need to.
-I don't mind, I promise.

Are you okay?
