First Responders (2020): Season 1, Episode 3 - HC - full transcript

So you really think I should take my
staff from the best weeks in Visby,

to the worst weeks in ?re?
Why?

It's not me,
it's the whole municipality.

This shows vision.
You're too hung up on the details.

You have to think more...
big picture stuff.

Those are going upstairs.

So, other than the staff who can
apparently drink all year round,

there's not much partying
here now, huh?

No, but the point is:
how do we know if nothing's open?

I am open.

-Well...
-If I do what you want, Daniel,



we need to invest in
the extreme sports.

Then they'll come, I promise you.

I tried riding one of those
mountain bikes last week.

It's fun.

FIRST RESPONDERS

Hey! How are you?

I'm good. Where are you?

I'm at the gym.

I've got two days off.

Oh. Here I was,
hoping to see a friendly face today.

-Do you miss me?
-Yeah.

I'm the only doctor here today,

and it would have been nice
if you were here.

Really? Congratulations! Great!



-Do I detect a hint of nervousness?
-Yes, you do, actually.

And it feels like Kerstin's
always watching me,

even though she's not here.

You'll do great. If something goes
wrong just call, right?

No, I'm not going to call her
unless I'm really in trouble.

I mean you can call me
if you need to.

Okay, yeah, thanks.
You're sweet.

Yeah, I'm pretty sweet.

But, hey, what do you say we empty
the bar at Olav's tonight?

-Yeah, I'll probably need it.
-Yeah.

But... look after yourself.
I'm serious, it'll go great.

-And you've got my number.
-Okay.

I promise not to start drinking
till you're done at work.

-Okay. See you later.
-Yeah, okay. Bye!

We can control the guests we want
through the facilities we have,

what events and anima...

-Are you okay?
-I'm fine, I just have a headache.

The painkillers are in the kitchen.

They call me a slave driver.

I demand they be sober
and drug-free at work.

You do? Fucking unreasonable demands!

Aren't they?

What does the union have to say
about it?

But remember,
treat them or send them away.

-Don't let it get too much.
-Please, I know.

-Otherwise, just call Kerstin.
-Only if I think it's necessary.

Okay, but better too often
than not enough.

-Okay.
-I just want you to know,

sometimes it can really get hectic,
especially in the afternoon.

We get hikers, mountain bikers,
paragliders, you name it.

Right when we're about to close
at five...

I understand, I understand.
It's almost nine, shouldn't we open?

Yeah. Absolutely.
Ellinor, can you open now?

Okay, you can do this,
you can do this.

Okay, pull yourself together.
Pull yourself together.

Yeah.

I hear you. I just think we see it
from different angles, like, yeah...

Anyway, how are you, otherwise?

Things are pretty good. I'm working
a lot at the moment which is nice.

And your girl?
How does she feel about it?

Well, we haven't talked much
about it, you know.

There's been so much going on.

Hey, do you want some more coffee?

Yeah, why not? Thanks.

Wha... what happened?

-We need to take you to the hospital.
-Shit!

Oh, my head hurts.

-Are you okay?
-I don't know.

I've got a fever.
I think I need penicillin.

Okay, how long have you had a fever?
Have you got a sore throat too?

-No.
-No?

Oh, a week. Or two.

I don't know.

If you can open up.

No, no swelling there.

You know, I thought you came about
your foot. You were limping.

Yeah, I've got a sore foot as well,
but that's from a while ago.

-It's from being up in the mountains.
-Did you hurt your foot up there?

I patched it up, put on my boot,
and went up the mountain.

I think we need to take a look.

So if you lie down on the bed,
I can help with your feet.

What's the point of that?

I need to have a look first.

There.

Do you need help
with your boots?

No, I always keep my boots on.

Yeah, but I need to look at it
to see if you've broken...

Lennart would give me penicillin.

Manne, I promise Lennart would have
wanted to look at your foot.

Leave it alone!
I'm not here, whining about nothing!

I haven't had strong pills
in at least ten years.

Yes, but I need to look at you before
you get any kind of pills.

If you don't take off your boots,
how can I do that?

No, I don't know.

Okay, well...

-Want some coffee?
-That would be bloody great.

Hey, would you be able to swing by
Manne with a cup of coffee?

-Thanks.
-Zara?

-Yeah?
-Markus is here.

He came with Ronja.
She apparently had a fall.

I'll go check.

Yeah, I'm at HC with Ronja.
Yeah, she fell at work.

Yeah, I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, Zara will be here soon, so...

Yeah, it's... I don't know.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Hi, Ronja.
-Hi.

What happened?

I fell at work.
I was holding a glass.

-Okay.
-Yes, because you're hungover, Ronja.

I'm not.

-Why did you fall?
-Um, I don't know.

-My head really hurt.
-Does it still hurt?

Uh, no.

-No?
-Just passed.

Let me check your hand.

Okay. It's not so bad.

Wilma will come in and patch you up.

Have you ever had a migraine before?

-No.
-No?

Can you describe the pain?
Is it local, dull, sharp?

Really sharp. Just really
kind of hit me suddenly.

Okay. I'm just gonna check your eyes.

Then, just follow the pen.

What are you doing, Zara?

I have to talk to Bj?rn.
Tell me if anything happens. Okay?

Not to question your judgement,

but isn't it more likely
that she's hiding her hangover,

like Markus says?

Shouldn't we wait a bit?

We can't wait,
I think it's a sentinel bleed,

an aneurysm in the brain.

Bj?rn, I shouldn't have to
convince you.

-She needs to go.
-To ?stersund?

No, they don't have neurosurgery.
She needs to go to Ume?.

-Ume?? Are you kidding me?
-No.

Do you understand
how unusual this is?

Shall we call Kerstin instead?

And ask her to check the pupils
on the phone?

Come on, you know what I mean.

You know very well
what resources we have.

But, Bj?rn, like I said,
I shouldn't have to argue with you.

I want you to call emergency, now,

and say we have a subarachnoid
aneurysm sentinel bleed. Okay?

-Yes.
-Good.

-Zara?
-Yep.

It's Ronja. She's gotten worse.

Relax.

It's okay.

Ronja. We're here now.
Is the headache back?

Yes.

Helicopter's here in seven minutes.

Good, we'll prepare for transport.

Just gonna check your eyes.

It's gonna be okay.

-Manne, where are you off to?
-I'll come back later.

I'm sorry you've had to wait so long,
but I've found a solution,

so you don't have to
take off your shoe.

Can you go and wait
in the room again?

Thank you.

I'll be right there.

Hey, Ronja. Can you talk?
Can you hear me?

It's going to be okay, Ronja.

Do you know where we're going?

We're going to Ume?.

Bj?rn I'll get to you later.

I feel so stupid not to
have believed her.

I was even annoyed at her.

But you couldn't have known.

The main thing is that you
brought her here.

But that was just because
of her hand, wasn't it?

-How the hell did you discover it?
-Her right pupil was markedly slower,

-which is a clear sign.
-Right, I see.

But, hey, she'll be okay.

Okay? Try to let go now.

-Hey?
-Yeah?

-Thanks. Bloody well done.
-Thanks.

Bj?rn? Can I talk to you?

Zara, sorry I didn't believe you.

She was just so young,
so I thought... yeah.

Well, I'd appreciate it
if you could trust me.

Yeah, I won't question you
or your judgement.

No... Does Kerstin have
anything to do with this?

She may have expressed
a certain concern,

might have asked me to keep an eye
on things, but I won't do anything.

Bloody hell, I can't be a spy.

-Are you sure about that?
-Yes.

Good.

Shall I move it lower?

I think, if you just raise it
on your side a bit.

There.

So, Manne, if you turn
your foot to the right.

Up a little, the sole is
a bit in the way.

There.

We'll be back,
we're just x-raying.

-See the big toe's contours, here?
-Mm.

And look, here. Can you see
it's missing something?

I'll be damned!
What's the blurry stuff?

I don't know, exactly,
but we need to find out.

You must remove the boot.

Manne, you must remove the boot.

-So if you lie...
-I can do it myself.

Lift your foot a bit.

Ah, god damn it.

Wha... what the hell is that?

Calm down, I know it looks
a bit gross...

-Zara? We have a new emergency case.
-Okay.

Oh, god...

Should I get someone to clean that?

No, absolutely not.

You can write this down:

-Yep.
-Put in a needle, give saline,

blood test, blood gas test, CRP,
acute bacteria culture,

aerobic, anaerobic, HP, TPK LPK,
and lactic acid, did I say that?

-No. Lactic acid.
-Good.

Antibiotics?

-No, we'll wait with that.
-No.

Manne. I know it looks gross, but
it's important that you don't move.

-Okay?
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Good. I'll be back.
Can you stay here?

-Thanks.
-Yep.

So...

Let's see.

Wow, that's really something.

-Careful!
-Thanks.

Can you hold this?
She'll be here soon.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Hey, Charlotte.

How long have you
been throwing up?

-It started last night.
-Last night.

Okay.

And you're throwing up a lot?

Does it hurt a lot too?

A new bag, please.

Tell it like it is.
Could she have a tumour?

No. No, I don't think so.

Nine out of ten cases,

it's a stomach ulcer,
and a blood vessel has burst

-and bleeds into the stomach.
-But it's... it's black.

-Is it old blood?
-No, it's haemoglobin,

which is usually red but is reacting
with the stomach acid,

and that's why it's black.

So, it's not serious, but I
understand it's very unpleasant.

So what happens now?

-So we don't miss something.
-Miss...?

We have a very exclusive
three day hike.

-Okay.
-With a guide.

No, I think it's important that
Charlotte gets some rest here.

-Yes.
-Yes.

-So we'll see if it passes by itself.
-So, we're done?

No.

You can administer PPI intravenously
and take blood values.

And insert a ventricular tube so
she avoids the vomiting.

Excuse me?

-Are you going?
-I'll be back.

She has private health insurance.

-What do you think? Cool, right?
-More conferences?

Not my kind of tourist,
if I got to choose.

You have to be open to development.
We all do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm getting
fucking tired of tourists.

Yeah, I know, I know.

-But we can probably convince you.
-Really? That's good.

This has been lovely, guys.
I'll get the bill. Business expense.

-Thank you.
-Of course.

Without confused tourists,
you wouldn't have a job, right?

No, but today, five middle-aged men
called mountain rescue

because it was raining a bit.

Middle-aged men and conferences.

It's not good for them.

But these guys seem like they'll be
regulars, so that's better, right?

That they bring their families?

And you don't shit where you eat?

-I wouldn't, anyway.
-You wouldn't?

-No.
-That's good.

-Thanks.
-Thanks.

I thought they'd just
stitch up her hand but...

Zara realised it was her head,
and suddenly it was an emergency,

-and now... now, Ronja's in Ume?.
-Shit, it was that serious?

Mm. She's being operated on now.

-So I'm crossing my fingers.
-I hope it goes well.

Are you going to eat?

No, not now,
but we were thinking tonight...

Zara's the only doctor
so we'll come here after.

What are you doing?
Are you putting them back again?

These maggots are eating
the dead tissue from your big toe.

Which is the best way to save as much
living tissue as possible.

I'm sorry, but your big toe
needs to be amputated.

So I'm heading off in the hearse.

It'll be okay, Manne.
Take care of yourself.

So, what does the doctor
think about lunch, then?

-No, I can't say I'm very hungry now.
-I can understand that.

But it's no good when it
banks up like this,

and the only doctor stresses
through the patients.

That's when things go wrong.
You know you're here till five?

-Yeah, but...
-Let them wait.

Everyone wins in the end.
Staff meeting in an hour.

-Are you sure?
-Absolutely.

The food's ready, so just dig in.

Oh. Okay.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Oh, how nice.

A little bird told me you were alone.
There you go.

Thank you.

Do you eat Caesar salad?

-Yeah. I love it.
-Good. Dig in, then.

Thanks.

So... when you're alone, there's a
bit more pressure than usual, right?

Yeah, and that pressure should
really be enough,

but now it feels like Kerstin has
asked Bj?rn to keep an eye on me.

Why?

I don't think she likes me.

Oh, okay. How do you know that?

You can sense that kind of thing.

Okay.

So, why are you alone, then?

Because I wanted to prove to her
that I can handle being alone.

I understand. Difficult situation.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Hey.
Hey, I wonder if you could help me.

-Sure.
-Uh, it's... hey!

Hey.

Hey.

-What's the problem?
-Oh, sorry. My wife.

She's been mucking about a bit,
down there.

Oh. I'll need your personal details,

so I can register you.
See if we can find a room.

Stefan Jutberg.

-Yep.
-And she'll be here soon. My wife.

Ulrika. She was just going to
the police station first.

Yeah, okay.
You'll have to be more specific.

We're married,
and he's constantly unfaithful.

Isn't it against the law
to be unfaithful?

So... yeah.

Wow... exciting.

-I'm not sure it's against the law.
-Yeah, it is.

To show faithfulness and
consideration to one another.

That's what it says.

Okay.

But I'm still fairly sure
it's not illegal.

Okay, what about this? If you're a
sex addict and don't get therapy,

that must be punishable.

Psychological abuse, that's a crime.

Absolutely.

-Does he threaten you with violence?
-No, he's so nice.

He's just an unfaithful,
fucking bastard.

Okay.

But...

If there isn't anything else,
I think we're done here.

Okay.

Yeah, well I think he got what
he deserved anyway, so... thanks.

Hey? When you say he got what he
deserved, what do you mean?

-Hey.
-Hey!

-Hey, I'm Zara.
-Hey, Stefan.

-A pleasure.
-Hey, there!

-Hey! Wilma.
-Hey. Stefan.

-What can I help you with?
-Yeah...

It might be better if I show you,
it's...

-It's a bit... like this, you know.
-Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Okay. Hey, I think
it would be good if you lay down.

-Yep, okay.
-I'll help you up here.

Can I get some gloves?

Where did all the tape come from?

-It was my wife.
-Oh?

We'd had a fair bit to drink.

-I think it was a joke.
-But there's a lot of tape here.

I know. She might have
been a bit cranky as well.

-Mm?
-So I tried to get it loose here,

to get rid of it. But I just managed
to cut it up here, so it's... it...

-I'm just going to have a look at it.
-Yeah, right there, it's...

Okay, I see.

I'll be careful, I'm just going to
look at what we have here.

-Ow.
-Yeah, I'm sorry.

We'll start by cutting it
loose here a bit first.

Okay, hey, can't you just numb it and
quickly rip it off like a band-aid?

No, the skin is very sensitive, so...
you can't do that.

There are arteries near
the erectile tissue, so...

it's very easy to damage
something bigger.

So what I'll start by doing is to cut
loose, around here, very carefully,

and I'll start by looking at
the wound you have here.

Yeah. Okay.
So the plan is to cut now?

-Yeah.
-Now we'll cut.

-Exactly.
-Okay.

-Okay?
-Mm.

Can you apply some
numbing cream there?

So if you stay lying here,
I'll be right back.

-Okay. So... see you soon... then?
-Yeah, I'll be back soon.

You'll have to sit and wait here
for a moment. There.

-Good.
-Bj?rn? You coming?

Yeah, soon.
There you go. I'll be right back.

We have lots of patients today,

so we need to plan how
we'll look after them.

Highlights of the day have been a
brain bleed and a rotten toe,

but we still have our little taped
friend in the OP-1.

Then we have a bleeding stomach ulcer
and upper respiratory, an asthmatic,

and we've just gotten
a radius fracture, so...

what's the plan?

We start with the asthma guy.

Sta... Yes.

Wait... Can I just see?

You know what?
Can you just give me a moment?

Yeah, sure. But hurry.

Yeah, she's new here.

Okay, think, think, think...

Bleeding stomach ulcer, send away,
or no...

Depending on how much it's bleeding,
send to ?stersund...

Hey.

Hey, sweetie, I just thought I'd
check how it's going?

It would be amazing
if you could come in.

Okay. Bleeding stomach ulcer.
Depending on how much she's bleeding,

if she's still bleeding, she should
probably go to ?stersund.

-Okay. What priority?
-Yellow prio three.

The fracture, I say you x-ray and
check there's nothing unusual,

then plaster it. Sound okay?

I'll go straight to the asthma guy
then to Stefan Jutberg,

give him anaesthetic and cut away
as much as possible,

then Sofia's coming in so we get
some reinforcement.

Good.

Hey. I'd like to see Stefan Jutberg,
where is he?

I'm on my way there,
so I can show you.

-Yes?
-Hey, Stefan.

Hey. I'm just going to
check in on a patient,

but the police want to talk to you.

-Okay.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-?sa.

-Hey, Stefan Jutberg.
-Hey. How are you doing?

Yeah, it's not great, but,
yeah, it'll probably be okay.

Hey, I talked to your wife earlier
and I want to ask some questions.

Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey, darling.

Aw, you look pitiful.

God, where's all the blood
coming from?

It's this tape, it's stuck so bad,
there, see.

-Oh, god.
-Yeah, it's hard to pull off.

-It's sensitive.
-God, I'm sorry.

No, it's nothing. It'll be fine.

Well, you're the one who was
sleeping around, so...

Did he say he's a sex addict,
by the way?

-No, I am not.
-Complimented you?

Maybe said he's impressed by you?
That you're cute?

-No.
-You haven't?

No, no, I haven't.

That's exactly what I mean.

Surely I can report him for
what he's done to me.

Like we talked about earlier,
unfaithfulness isn't a crime.

But what you've done is.

-Are you kidding me?
-This is assault, and it's a crime.

And it falls under
public prosecution.

Therefore, as police, I have to act
on it. So you have to come with me.

Are you kidding me?
I'm not going.

This... I'm sure we can solve this
without you going, we can...

It's not that bad.

I'm not going to do it, the doctor
will, and she'll be here really soon.

Really soon? We've waited an hour!

It's better to wait for the results
and the values, and...

Why can't you just call me later?

Tell me what happened
from the beginning.

I saw his phone...

saw that he'd been texting
with around ten girls...

and sent...

I meant after you decided to
act against him?

But it's relevant to...

He was asleep,
I found silver tape and...

got the urge, and...

-Ready?
-Mm.

-So, if you try to hold still...
-Okay.

-Ow!
-You're doing really well.

Great, Stefan.

The bleeding has stopped,
so you can go home,

and book a time for a gastroscopy.

So we can take this off. But...

Who's moved the tape?

It wasn't sitting well,
so I moved it.

You really shouldn't have done that!

We need a sick bag!
And we need to lay her down!

Darling!

Charlotte?! We're here!
Give me a new bag, please.

Please, please, back off!

Can you leave the room?
Leave, now, you're being disruptive!

We'll deal with this.

There, Charlotte.

Can you come here?

Here's the situation.

When you moved the tube, you
made us think the bleeding stopped.

But what actually happened... Listen!
Was the stomach filled up with blood.

So she has a low blood count,
needs a transfusion,

and to go to hospital immediately.

-Helicopter?
-No, it's not acute enough.

What?
Could it be more acute than this?

It's dramatic, but it's a slow
process, so that's how it is. Okay?

-This...
-Charlotte, good luck.

Hey? This isn't okay.

-Yes?
-Hey.

-Hey, you took your time.
-I'm so sorry I took so long.

But we're going to help you now
and cut you free from the tape.

-What's your new, cute nurse's name?
-My name's Sofia.

-Stefan.
-I know.

I'll give you something
for your hands.

-Yeah, thanks so much.
-Is it worse than before, Stefan?

It hurts and I'm getting...
a bit nervous here, I don't know.

Functionally, how do you think it...?

No, it'll be fine.

-Here.
-Thanks so much, Sofia. Thanks.

You're welcome.

-Okay, so we'll make a start, then.
-Mm.

-Really careful.
-Mm.

-Hey!
-Excuse me, you need to leave.

I've trained for Extreme Challenge
for two years.

I spent maybe 25,000 on travel,
equipment, all the shit,

and didn't get to compete today.

I'm really sorry about that, Ulrika.

Will it come off?

Yes, with work and stitches,
we'll get it off.

Can you have this conversation later?

No, we're talking about it now.

Are you going to meet after work,
or in some closet?

No, and now you need to leave.

-Has he called you cute? Has he?
-No, and police share a wall with us,

-so if you don't leave by yourself...
-You look like my sister Jenny.

-Cute and blonde.
-I don't give a shit.

-Promise, I haven't said a thing.
-Shut up, you can't promise shit.

You know what?
This isn't working anymore.

-We're separating.
-No! No, Ulrika. No.

-Let go of me, I said.
-This is terribly disturbing. Leave.

-Ulrika! No! Stop! Wait!
-But please, sit still!

Ulrika! I have to talk to her!

No! No! Stefan!

-I'll do anything!
-Stefan, you're bleeding!

-You're bleeding. Sit down.
-Calm. We're going to calm down.

-Sit down. Good.
-Bloody hell.

-Yes, ow!
-Take it easy.

Did she leave? Is she here?

We'll concentrate on this
now instead.

Take it easy, breathe.

-Tell me if you need help.
-Absolutely, thanks.

-Try to sit still the whole time now.
-Yeah.

-Careful there.
-Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Ah.

-Do you promise, then?
-Yes! I promise! I'll do anything!

-Therapy?
-Yes, absolutely! Therapy...

-I don't want to separate.
-Me neither! I want kids with you!

Doctor, kids? That's an option,
right? That's not a problem, right?

Ah, yeah, that should be fine.

Yeah, it'll be great! I want to be
with you. It's you and me.

Yeah. It's you and me.

-See you later.
-Yeah, see you later! Okay.

Bye.

I know it really hurts,

-but you have to try to sit...
-Mm, it has to, yes!

You've ripped something up here now.

Just breathe deep, and look
at the ceiling, or look at me.

Yeah, okay.

Thanks.

Thanks.

-It's going to be fine.
-Yeah.

Thanks for coming in today.
Really nice of you.

Yeah, of course.

-You were awesome.
-You too.

-Are you ready to leave the building?
-Yeah. It'll be nice to go home.

No, but seriously,
I'm totally exhausted.

Stop looking at me like that.
I have to go home.

-I'm so tired. I'm really not faking.
-I can carry you. It's fine.

-No.
-Wait a minute, you mean the wife?

Mm.

After I grabbed her,
she wasn't so cocky.

-Are you joking?
-No.

People are idiots.

You know, you can fix everything
with silver tape.

-Yeah.
-You like silver tape, right?

Yeah.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Zara! Sofia! Come, sit down now.
You too, Daniel.

Sit down, now.

Hey, Tomas needs some help. He's been
