First Responders (2020): Season 1, Episode 9 - Elden - full transcript

A couple of weeks ago, there was
a very serious accident in ?resj?n.

You were fast, efficient,
and very professional.

They were difficult circumstances.

You didn't have your own boat.

You requisitioned one.

You are totally irreplaceable
and deserve only the best.

And as proof of my gratitude for soon
getting to be part of your workplace,

it is a great honour to present
a gift to the rescue service.

As proof of my goodwill,

and because I will soon be part of
your fantastic ?re.

But this would have been impossible
without the help of Daniel,



who has been my guide and who has
shown me all the opportunities here.

FIRST RESPONDERS

Thank you. Such kind words.

It's nice to have you here, we're
very happy to be working together,

and, thank you for this, and...

I think we...

We'll call the boat
the MS Espen Nordness.

Good job, Tomas.

-Hey.
-That was lovely.

-Nice boat.
-Great, Espen.

-I hope you enjoy it.
-We'll need it. Thank you.

-So nice you could come.
-Of course.

-You okay?
-I'm okay.

-Shall we make it a bit cosy?
-Yeah.



-Well done, today.
-Thank you.

I think I worked a bit too hard.

It'll be nice to just sit here
for a bit.

-Would you like a little drink?
-Yes, please.

Almost as good as the real thing.

Absolutely, this is good stuff.

-There.
-Let's see.

Nice.

That turned out great!

-Well done! I'm hungry as a wolf.
-Yeah.

Don't you buy groceries
in this house?

Yeah, no, it happens.

-It does? That's good.
-Hello?

Damn, that looks good!
What a great job you've done.

Yeah, Kevin did
almost all of it himself.

No. It was fun.
Yum, Thai!

-Noodles for you.
-Thanks.

-Thanks, Tomas.
-Wait. I have to take this.

Seriously. Thank you.

-How can I repay you?
-Nah, it was fun.

It was really fun,
hanging out with Kevin.

You've got a good kid there.

And you're not so bad yourself.

How did your date go, by the way?

It went fine.

She must have been at least 23.

She's 25.

What's wrong with women your own age?

I have to...

Are you leaving?

Just so you know,
I've tried asking you out.

But all you're interested in,
is me fixing your damn kitchen.

Thanks for dinner.

-Did Tomas leave?
-Yeah.

Why?

He just got a bit annoyed.

Okay.

Sorry, but can't you see
he likes you?

Are you completely blind?

Mm. It looks great.

Mission statements, budgets,
timelines, it's all here.

Lennart did all the meetings
and presentations.

I hadn't counted on it taking
such a long time.

-I hope it's worth it.
-It is.

See you later.

If you don't get her now,

I'll report you
and this entire clinic to the police.

-But what is it... What's it about?
-I have no reason to tell you.

Where is Kerstin?!

Why am I forced to see incompetent
doctors who I don't know,

and who don't know me?

Okay, you know what...?

We'll sort this out.
If you just calm down, we'll try...

Finally.

Hey, Helena.
Come on, we'll go into my room.

Charming.

I was here a few weeks ago,
and asked for you.

Instead, I had to see some nervous
girl who gave me five minutes.

I got five minutes.

I had a terrible headache,

and she said it was
typical sinusitis,

and prescribed penicillin
and nasal spray.

And how are you feeling now?

After three days,
I thought my head would explode.

I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I
couldn't work,

my husband had to drive me
to the ER in ?stersund,

and they admitted me immediately.

And, um...

they said I have a tumour in my head.

A grade three glioblastoma.

And what happens now?

I'll be operated in two weeks.

Have you gotten a prognosis?

Not much.

I'll find out more
after the operation,

when they've taken tests
from the tumour.

Who was it who examined you here?

There's the girl's name.

I'm so sorry about this, Helena...

-Is it important?
-Yes.

SOS wants us to go up in preparation.

There's a fire in a hotel in Duved.

I'm sorry, Helena.
I have to deal with this.

Markus! We'll be ready to go in,
in a minute.

...in through the door.
I have no idea how many are inside.

-Hi, Sofia.
-Hey, Niklas. Welcome.

-What's the status?
-No idea, the staff don't know shit.

But I know they've inhaled smoke,
so look after them.

You don't know if there's
anyone inside?

Nothing.

-Markus, you're number one, right?
-Yes.

Do you know if anyone's in there?

-Is that the guest list there?
-Sorry?

-Is anyone still inside?
-Ah, no, I don't think so.

Well, it's your responsibility.

Yeah... I'll just... This...
You know... Sorry.

What do you think?

-Someone fell asleep smoking?
-I don't know.

I just hope that stressed out
bastard can do his job.

It's not easy when the whole
place is suddenly burning.

-Hey? Don't be so damn harsh.
-How are they?

They're okay.
I think the woman needs help.

-Go help her.
-You go babysit him then.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

Good. I'll take this and help so you
can sit down with the others.

-I'm done, really.
-No, it's okay. Go sit down.

-Thanks. Thanks a lot.
-Thanks. Yes. Thanks a lot. Thanks.

There's someone on the third floor!

You there, at the window!
Just stay there! help is on its way!

We're bringing a ladder!
Make sure you hold on right!

Here, take a corner.

-Easy, now!
-I've got it. There.

Come on, stretch it properly tight
here, now.

Hold on tight!

-We need the ladder now!
-We're bringing a ladder! Easy now!

-Yes, pull it tight!
-Hold on!

Hello? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Hello?!

Hello?! Give me that!

-Can she cough with the mask on?
-Yes, that's fine. Excuse me.

Smoke-affected pregnant woman.
She has a wound on her forehead.

Her husband was also present
during the fire.

We just have to lift this up
so we can look at you. Okay.

Are we ready?

One, two, three!

I need more transport help.

-I'll try.
-How bad is it, do you think?

Let her have oxygen
and calm down a bit,

the doctor will look at her
as soon as possible.

-How are you doing?
-Oh, I'm fine.

Hey, try to take it easy.

Hello, Tomas, hey.

We need your help
as soon as possible.

You've got a bad bruise, but you
haven't broken your tailbone, okay?

-Shall we go in here?
-Yes.

-How dangerous can so much smoke be?
-We need to take some tests.

I need to go back,
but you'll be fine. Get well soon.

It'll be okay.

Take a creatinine, arterial blood
gases and electrolytes.

Tell me if I can do anything.

You can keep out of the way.

Where are they? Bj?rn!

-What is it?
-Where are the steel ones?

-They're what we got.
-What do you mean, "got"?

They're standard.
We usually do extra orders.

-I asked your opinion.
-What did I say then?

You said it didn't matter.

You've got a shard of glass here that
I'm going to remove. It'll be quick.

There.

You can stitch up now, thank you.

Where's the instrument?

In the...

-Where's the suture kit?
-I'll show you.

Bj?rn!
Where's the ultrasound machine?

It should have been here ages ago.

These mistakes have to end now.

A while ago, you prescribed
antibiotics and nasal spray

to a seriously ill woman and there
might be consequences.

We'll deal with that later.

Can I help?

Maria, you look after him, and Zara,
more have arrived outside.

Okay.

My name's Maria.

Is there someone still in there?

-A woman is missing, room 10.
-10?

-Yes.
-Okay, 10. Good, thanks.

Attention, guys! Someone in room 10,
straight ahead, on the far left.

-Room 10, copy that!
-Let's go!

-Yeah, I'm back here.
-Good, let's go!

Hello?

Anyone here?

Here's the fire. Markus to Patrik,
the fire's on the ground floor.

Number two is extinguishing it.
I'm checking room 10.

Copy that, Markus.
Tell me if you need help.

-I'm going in, here.
-Yep!

Person located!
Rescue commenced!

Markus, what's happening?

I have her now! I'm coming out!

Stay back a bit and
keep your distance. Thanks!

Gustav! Help carry there!

Hello, hey! Can you hear me?
Hello? Can you hear me?

Hello, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Put her on the stretcher here.

Hello? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Tomas! Oxygen!

Move out of the way!
Move, move, move. Good.

-There, now.
-You're getting oxygen now.

Can you hear me?

Deep breath! Deep breath!
Nice and easy.

-Does it look good?
-Yes, it looks very good!

Look. It's moving!

So. Not long left now, huh?

Three weeks.

Imagine the story you'll have for...
What will it be, a boy or a girl?

A girl.

Imagine the story you'll have for her
about today.

We won't forget this soon.

I have a little grandchild too,
a girl, four years old.

It's just wonderful.
I'll see her on the weekend.

I don't understand how you can stay
so calm in all this chaos.

I've been doing this awhile.

The helicopter will be back
in an hour.

Markus has inhaled smoke.

Good, breathe, breathe.

Are you okay?

-So, come on, come on.
-Come here.

Thank you.

Lay down.

Lay down now.

Take it easy. Breathe.

I know.

Want to sit up?

You breathed lots of
dangerous smoke,

so you'll need to go
to ?stersund hospital.

For observation.

Hey, we have no transport.

-No? Okay.
-So we'll have to do night shifts.

-Okay.
-Markus is here too.

He's inhaled smoke.

Uh, there's so much noise, can...?

-Yes?
-I get so stressed out by...

It's...

Do you have a quieter room,
or do you have...?

We're full right now, but I'll...

-I can't be around so much noise.
-No.

I understand. All the rooms are full,
but I'll get an examination room.

Okay? So you can rest there.

Just a moment. Okay?

I'll just put this on.

I'll be right back, okay?

Hey.

Are you okay?

I'll be back.

Is this your signature?

Yes.

This patient, Helena,
has been coming to me for 30 years.

Okay?

She has a brain tumour.

-I don't know a lot about tumours.
-No.

Nobody here does, but that's okay.

What's not okay,
is to assume it's sinusitis.

You find things out, you refer,
you examine, you take tests,

you ask questions and ask for help.

Was there nothing to make you
suspect it wasn't a sinus infection?

Um...

That must have been
when Maria was new here.

She asked me for help and said she
didn't understand the data system.

I know it was wrong,
but I helped her. It's her patient.

And your signature.

This could mean a Lex Maria for you.

I want to see you and Maria
in my office in ten minutes.

-We have so much to do here.
-Ten minutes.

Hey.

Sit down.

Zara told me you examined Helena,

and that you asked her to sign her
charts. Is that correct?

No. That's not true. I didn't ask
Zara to sign a charts on my behalf.

Wait a minute, what are you saying?

You came to me, almost nagging about
not understanding the digital system.

No, I'm sorry, I can't sit here
and say I've done something,

when it didn't happen.

It's late, we're both tired, I've
been here since seven this morning,

I don't know what I should...

For Zara to accuse me of something
like this and not take responsibility

for her own incorrect diagnosis,
it's very strange.

What do you mean, strange?
She's lying!

I don't know what to say, but you can
see for yourself that Zara signed it.

Kerstin, I tried to help.

I know it was wrong,
but I was really just trying to help.

Maria, Yousef is coming soon,
so you can go home and sleep now.

Thank you.

We need to get to the bottom of this.
This isn't good at all.

I think I need to report this.

Kerstin, I don't know why we
had this meeting.

It feels like you'd already made up
your mind.

Excuse me. I need my bag,
because I have an errand.

I don't have your bag here.
I think...

it's best if you go back
to your room and sit down.

No, but...

I really need it,
because it's too hot in here,

and there are so many people,
and I...

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

-Yeah?
-Can you help her?

-I've got some things to do, so...
-But can't you just do it?

-Sabina.
-She'll help you.

Sabina.

-Shall we go back to your room?
-No, he doesn't seem to get it.

Let's go to your room and talk.

Come on, let's go.

-Can't I just...?
-No, come on.

Do you take any medication?

Mum thought I should take medication,
but it...

Okay, and...
what do you usually take then?

-No, I don't take any medication.
-No?

No.

How long has it been since you slept?

Two, maybe three... days,
I don't know, it's been awhile now.

Jesus, you need to sleep.
Can't you try to rest a bit?

They're all out there, they're here
and I can't stay in here, I...

-I have to leave...
-Please, we'll...

Hey.

-We have to call psychiatric help.
-Transport is five or six hours away.

-She has to stay here.
-And there's nothing earlier?

She's last in line. We'll have to
get something to calm her down.

Is there anyone we can call?
A boyfriend, or...?

-No, no, no, please!
-I have to get out! I'm leaving!

-No, no!
-I can't be here!

Sabina, please,
we're just trying to help you.

We just want to help you.

Please. Can't you try to
lie down and rest a bit?

Sit down.

Thank you.
This will help calm you down.

You're in a really safe place.

-Yeah.
-I promise.

-Yeah.
-Okay?

-I'll come check on you soon.
-Yeah.

-Try to rest now.
-Mm.

-Hey!
-Hey.

How's it going?

Not great, if I'm honest.

Why not?

-Oh, just...
-Hey?

A while ago,
Maria asked for help, and...

she asked me if I could help her
with a patient and I said

I absolutely couldn't, and she said,

"I've only worked with paper,
I can't do digital,"

she convinced me, I did it,
now I'm in trouble for

incorrectly medicating a patient.

What the hell? Are you kidding?

No.

-I thought she was God's gift to HC.
-Mm. No.

And, I don't know. I'm panicking.
I'm really panicking. I don't know...

No, hey, it'll be okay.

We'll sort this out. Have you talked
to Kerstin? Told her everything?

Yes, I've talked to her. She knows.

And she believes Maria. So...

-I'm screwed.
-No, no. We'll sort this out, but...

-Do you want me to talk to Kerstin?
-No, I really don't.

-I'm more than happy to.
-No, no, no, no.

-Okay, I won't.
-Then I saw Markus out there, and...

When I saw him out there, I...

I don't know, my heart broke
and everything felt horrible again.

You still have feelings for him,
that's not...

-There's nothing strange about that.
-Hey!

Today, the council's
providing some pizza.

That'll come out of our pay.

Good thing mountain rescue
helped you carry, Daniel.

-It looked heavy.
-Everyone can just take a slice...

-Mm.
-Take one.

Kerstin wants to talk to you.

-Oh? What? Now?
-Yeah, she said it was important.

Okay, but...
don't touch this one, it's mine.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Can I listen?
-Of course.

-How do you feel?
-I'm okay.

What happened?

I don't know.

She panicked and somehow
managed to rip off my mask.

But... can't you stay here
and rest a while?

Absolutely.

-Hi, there.
-Hey.

Anything specific?
I bought pizza, want some?

Not now. But come here,
I want to talk to you.

-Aha?
-Come in.

All the time it takes to...

prepare for the privatisation.

Comes out of the time
I put into my work here.

Okay.

So...

Daniel, I'm a doctor.

I want to work with people,
just like Lennart and I used to do.

No nonsense. We gave them time,
we listened, we followed up...

-Yeah, I know.
-This start-up, it...

it's taking up so much time,
I miss meetings, patients, staff,

which has led to me feeling that I
don't want to start something new.

I want to preserve what I have,
what Lennart and I built up.

But, no... What do you mean,
not start something new, we...

We're almost there.

We're almost done. No, but...
You can't back out now because...

You'd end up taking orders,
just like you didn't want.

-No, We've already talked.
-What?

I've given them an ultimatum.

If I can't run the clinic the way
I want to, I'll start my own.

What do you mean?
Who did you talk to? I don't get it.

You haven't said anything.

Well, I'm telling you now.

Yeah, but... But, Mum,
you can't do this now.

No, it's too late. You can't back out
now. That's not how it works.

-No, I've worked on this for ages...
-Daniel...

If you think about this at all,
I think you'll understand this.

You don't understand all the projects
with Espen will fall through now.

He won't want to have
anything to do with us if this...

I understand.

But I can't do something that
goes against what I believe in.

-I'm sorry, Daniel.
-Me too.

Thanks for the pizza.

Is everything okay?

It's okay.

I'll go see if Markus up to
having some pizza.

-Check over there, will you?
-Yes.

-What's going on? Is there a fire?
-I don't know.

I don't have the energy for this.
I'll check the toilet.

Tomas! Tool!

-Shit, she's not here.
-Who?

The woman from the hotel.
Do you think she could be in there?

We'll check. I'll check in here.
Tomas, empty the building.

Kerstin, get everyone out.
Make sure you don't miss anyone.

Bj?rn, find all the fire
extinguishers you can. Let's go!

Come on.

Can someone help me?

-Here! Come on!
-Are you coming, Perka?

Good, you've got him.

Kerstin! Come!

Markus? Markus?

-Buddy? Buddy?
-Suture kit, Bj?rn! Here!

And bring oxygen!

Markus? Thank you.

Markus, can you hear me?
Thanks, Johan.

Tomas? It's probably Sabina.
She's lit fires before.

-Help me find her?
-Absolutely.

Bj?rn, come here,
we'll check the right wing.

Are you okay?

You've suffered a serious blow.

I can't stop thinking about you.

It's no good.

I don't want to be without you.

I was about to drive home
to ?stersund.

She's apparently been reported
missing by her mother.

-She's had psychotic episodes before.
-Damn it.

No!

She can't breathe! She can't breathe!
Lift her up.

-Lie still.
-Sabina? Can you hear me? Sabina?

Sabina?

-Can you hear me?
-They're coming!

-No.
-They're coming, but the fire...

The fire will stop them!
They can't come!

Nobody's coming. I promise.
Nobody's coming.

Okay? My friend will
drive you to a safe place.

Okay? I promise.
Sabina? Sabina?

I'm going to give you
an injection now. Okay?

No!

-Shall we sit her up?
-On three.

One, two, three.

No...

You'll be okay.

Okay.

Sorry.

Did I wake you?

Shouldn't you be at home, sleeping?

No. I want to observe you
for a few hours.

You're probably concussed.

Or you just want to be close to me.

Yeah, maybe.

One of these.

-Yes.
-Yes, they're right.

That's true.

Hey, Kerstin!
How are you?

Better than I've been in ages.

How nice. I'm totally exhausted.
It's nice to be back at work.

I can imagine.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Thank you, Kerstin.

We're so incredibly grateful,
Sam and I.

For how you handled
the whole situation, and us.

-You should know how much it means.
-Truly.

Thank you so much.

-Good luck.
-Thank you.

You too.

-Thanks.
-We're going home to celebrate

being alive, all three of us.

-Nice to see you again.
-You too. Take care.

Nice to see you smiling again.

-Welcome back.
-Thanks, you too.

You can send him home.
It looks good.

-You're all awesome.
-Yeah, you too.

You were all awesome.

This is your package.

-Hey! What timing.
-How is he? Is he still at the hotel?

-No, no, he's here.
-Can I talk to him?

Yeah, just a minute.
My sister.

-Hey?
-Darling, are you hurt?

-No, I'm fine.
-I was so worried. Where are you?

-See you.
-I'm at HC.

-What happened?
-I just breathed in some smoke.

But it's fine.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm taking Cortisone, which helps.

You know what?
I've done some reading.

And I'm sure you've been given
lots of information.

But your particular tumour,

-has a good chance of operation.
-Yes, I know.

And you have grade three,
and not grade four.

That's also good.

Most people survive it, these days.

-And you have a healthy body as well.
-Would you like something to drink?

A beer please.

I'm really sorry about
what's happened, but...

I'm going to remain at HC.

And you're not going to have to
see any other doctor in the future.

-Is that okay?
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Come here, a minute.

-Aren't you going to bed?
-Yeah.

I just need to wind down, a minute.

No. Come on.

I'm going to bed now.

Okay. Sleep tight.

I needed that.

Sleep tight.

-I love you.
-I know.

Can you get it?

Who is it?

Hey.

Hey.

I couldn't sleep.

No, me neither.

I just wanted to...
check you're okay.

Yeah. I'm okay.

And for someone so small,
you've got quite the temperament.

Johan would call me grumpy.

Yeah, he would.

You shouldn't take too big risks.

I don't want anything to
happen to you.

I promise.

Okay, well I should go.

-Okay.
-See you.

-Maybe tomorrow.
-Yeah.

Damn.

Hey.

Hey.

Is it okay if I sleep here
one more night?

Yes, of course.

-I have something for you.
-What?

Oh, how lovely.

-You think so?
-Yeah. Beautiful.

What is it?

I'd love you
to come back to Norway with me.

Okay?

Everything's falling apart
with Kerstin.

There's nothing left
for me to do any more.

No.

And they need doctors in Norway.

But, listen, my family owns several
clinics so you could pick and choose.

You'd double your salary.

You think I should come to Norway
with you?

Okay...

I like you very, very much.

I think we'd have
a wonderful time together.

I like you too.

-But I've just moved here.
-I understand.

Can't you stay here, then?

No.

I've got my own things to take
care of. I've got lots of...

Lots of work.

-Mm.
-I want you to be part of my life.
