Trauma (2009–2010): Season 1, Episode 12 - Protocol - full transcript

A routine call takes a turn for the worse.

"I never yet did hear

"that the bruis'd heart
was pierced through
the ear. "

I don't get it.

Oh, what? I hate
this stupid door.

I can take a look at
that if you want later.
Do you want?

Hey, hey, why don't
you come back to bed?

I am already
late for work.
No. Okay?

You know, you
don't sound so well.

Your throat, you got
something. You don't wanna...
Come on, just call in sick.

Rabbit, we both
have work to do.

Come to bed.
I don't have work.
I'm on vacation.



Okay,
FYI, suspension
is not vacation.

Oh, it's the same thing.
Come on, really.

I mean, suspension,
vacation, I got time off.

I can fix your
door, I can...

Okay, enough.
Wait.

Enough. I appreciate
all the attention

and the help and
everything else,
but honestly, enough.

Appreciate?
What's appreciate?
What's that mean?

You know what I mean.
No.

I don't know
what you mean.

Okay. You cannot solve
all of your problems
in my bed.

But I can try.

No.
If you just...

No.
... give me a chance.



No. You need therapy.

Therapy? You really think
that I need a therapist,
a shrink?

I think you need
to talk to someone.

That's what you're for.

That's why I want you to stay
here and talk to me. Come on.

Rabbit, okay, this
is not a new issue.
Come on.

This has not just
happened to you.

You've been on
a runaway train ever since
you came back to work.

You don't do this

and they'll take away
your medic certificate.
They will.

They will.

And then what
will you do?

Go to work.

Go on.

See you later.
All right.

Shift change!
Get your
butt up, probie.

Come on.

I made the coffee.

It's a baby breakfast!

Congratulations to you.

Your first delivery,
it's a boy.

Well, congratulations.
Oh.

You brought a life into
this really cool world
we live in. Way to go!

Yeah. The best thing
is you didn't even
pass out.

Thanks, Nancy.
My pleasure.

No, he
didn't pass out.

See? You say I never
do anything for you.

Guys, I miss Rabbit.
Who's with me?

No? He loves
baby breakfast.

Yeah, Rabbit loves
any breakfast.

Hmm? Come on.
You miss him.
Admit it.

No, I don't.

Come on, cop to it.

No, why?
Are you kidding?

Everything with him is like
this side of psychotic.

Yeah, but it's fun.

Tyler, you live long
enough with crazy,

you start accepting
it as normal.

Well, I'll tell you what,
I miss him, a lot.

Who's Bas got
you riding with?

I don't know.

Hey, is there
a Marisa Benez here?

Yeah.

Hi.
Hi.

Oh! Can I be
you today?

Nope.

I'm Andy.
I'm Marisa.

When I'm free

Free falling
Free falling

When I'm...

Hey. Yeah, I can't
do it anymore, Frida.

I quit.
We talked about this.

Okay, listen. Yes...
I was going nowhere
with that job.

If you want me to talk to
you, you're going to have
to calm down. Goodbye.

Angel Rescue 2, respond
to multi-system trauma.

Requires immediate medevac.

You guys, get that
deer off of there, huh?

All right.

Sir, can you
hear my voice?

Stabilize his neck.
Got it, got it, got it.

Going to
make a snake.
Okay.

Okay. All right.

Let's get the snake
out here.

Grab this side.
Okay.

You want to put that
underneath his right arm?

Here you go. Now come
around, help me with
his legs.

Let's get the board
in place.

Here we go.
On three, one,
two, three.

Here you go, Marisa.
Watch that, fellows.

Just got to open your
mouth here. Ready with
that ambu bag?

Yep.
Thank you.

He's got a Le Fort II
fracture, no air movement
with bagging.

Just gonna do
a chin lift here.

There we go.

All right. Getting
some air in there.

All right,
starting compressions.

Come on, guy,
keep fighting for me.

Keep fighting.

You ready to take over?
Yeah.

Switch.

He's in asystole.

Pushing one milligram epi.

Yeah.
How's he doing?

Please. Come on.

Dr. Joe, I've got
traumatic full arrest.

I got to call it.
All signs negative?

You've done
all you can do?

Yes.
All right, go ahead.
Call it.

Marisa, stop CPR.

I think we got it.
Marisa, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

He's done
fighting, okay?

Hey.

Damn.

This really bothers you,
doesn't it?

Yeah.

Medics who aren't affected
by something like this...

Those are the ones
you got to worry about.

So, I'd like you
to sit down, Mr. Palchuck.

Do I have to?
Yes, you have to.

This is cool.
Please put that down
and sit down.

Okay.
Thank you.

So, why are you here?

Well, I guess
to get my head screwed
on right.

Well, your file's
a very interesting read.
Thank you.

I can see why your
superiors are concerned.

That a judgment?
I thought you therapists...
Well...

...aren't supposed
to judge people.

Well, it's an observation,
given the number of
incidents in your file.

Uh, yeah. Sometimes I got
a bit of a short fuse.

You wiped blood
on an FBI Agent.

We therapists
call that acting out.

He had it coming.
I'll tell you.

You had to be there.
Okay, I need you
to stop that right now.

Oh, sorry. No,
but, I mean, really.

He had a woman shot in
the back of the head.

Yeah, okay, well...
I was covered in...

Have they all had it
coming to them?

...brain matter.
The obese patient?

The driver?
He lost his finger.

Have they all had it
coming? All these people?

Could I see
that list?

Smearing blood
on an agent.

Was that your way
of showing him
what he'd done?

You had blood
on your hands.

Did you feel
he should, too?

Yeah. Yeah,
I guess I did.

I don't know.
I don't know, you know?

To be honest,
it's just that in that
situation, you know,

your blood starts to boil,
and then, well,
boom, you know?

So, tell me about
the helicopter crash.

Oh. Yeah, I was in
a helicopter crash.

Well, you know...

I'm lucky to be here.

Not here.
You know, here.

Okay, Reuben,
tell me something.

Your life has brought
you to this place, right?

Yes.
I mean, it doesn't matter

how you got here.
Your superiors,
your behavior, whatever.

You are here.

Are you willing
to do the work?

Absolutely.

You packed
a doggie bag?

It's not every day I get
breakfast in my honor,
so, yeah.

So, you're gonna make
the most of it, huh?

What are you,
like, 12 years old?

They're all chocolate.
You're pathetic.

This is the first time that
anyone's ever treated me

like anything other
than a probie, so...

Well, you're not gonna be
a probie for much longer.

I was wondering when you
were gonna notice that.

Oh, I noticed.

Of course I noticed.

Why else do you think
I let you do that delivery?

All right.

Hey, Di.

Did you just ditch
your work wife for me?

Wow, I'm honored.
Work wife? What?

You are gonna miss me,
aren't you?

Miss you? What are
you talking about?

Did you get fired?

Is that...
Can you get fired?
How does that work?

No, I didn't get fired,
but it's telling that
that's the first thing

that came to your mind.

I get it. So you must
have left an instrument

inside of a patient
during surgery.

Now you have to flee.
No.

My trauma
rotation is up.

Your trauma...
What?

Your what?
Wait. Wait a sec. What?

Yeah, I've been
sampling the snacks

before I choose
my specialty.

So, this...
This was just
a short-term...

Temporary.
Yeah, but you're
not leaving, right?

I mean, you're still
gonna be here.
Well, I mean,

how often do you
see the oncology
residents upstairs?

Wow.

I'm never gonna
see you, am I?

Come celebrate.
End-of-rotation drink.

Bunch of us are gonna
be at the Hidden Cove.

I don't know.
Oh, come on.

There are gonna be girls
there who haven't let

their hair down
in seven months

and will hook up with
anything with a pulse
and a smile.

A pulse and a smile?
I have that. I can do that.
Mmm-hmm.

Yeah.
Well, I'll see you...
I'll see you there.

I'm gonna
miss you, Glenn.

I'm gonna miss you, too.

See you tonight.

Yo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

See, you always do this.

You get bored,
and you come over here,

start messing with
my routine. Why?

Dude, look, and...

It goes this way.
Not that way, okay?

Everything has its place.

What's the difference?
Well, 'cause like
my papa used to tell me,

you keep that
gris-gris off of you.

What?
The bad juju.

It fends off the bad juju.

I keep to my routine,
everything's cool.

Dude, you a grown man.
What is bad juju?

Let me tell you something.
My grandfather had the
same routine

every morning of every
day. Kept him safe.

And he lived till he was
93, so you tell me now.

Okay, so you're
superstitious.
Okay, I get it.

It's not superstitious
if it works.

Crack a book, man.

It's looking good.

My daughter!
She can't breathe.

Okay. Okay, what's
your daughter's name?

Uh, it's Samantha. Her
name's Samantha. Sam.

Okay, and tell me,
did she do anything
unusual before the attack?

No, no, she was in the
backyard, playing with
the dog.

Uh, has she
got allergies?

No, no, nothing
that I know of.

Sam. Sam,
can you hear me?

You can? Do you remember
getting stung by a bee,

a wasp, anything
like that today?

You do. Okay, epinephrine,
0.3 milligrams, IM.

It's okay, honey.
It's okay.

Honey, it's okay.
They're here.

Okay, set up
the nebulizer.
Yeah.

I'll do Benadryl.

What's wrong? What's
wrong with my daughter?

She's having
an anaphylactic reaction
to a bee sting.

We're just trying to get
her to breathe properly.

Well, what can I do?

Please, just try
and keep out of the way.

Let us have room to work.
That would be great.

Sam, honey,
it's gonna be okay.
I got it.

Daddy's right here.
Sam!

Okay, she's... She's
fainting. I need BVM.
Sam!

Sam.
Okay, I got her.
I got her.

Please move away, sir.
Get the bag under her head.

Sir, let us work.
You need to step back.

Please!

I got it. Okay.

Can we get the bag
underneath her neck?

Nancy.
Are you okay?

Are you okay, sir?
Are you okay?

Glenn, can you take
him up to the rig,

get him some oxygen, make
sure he doesn't pass out?

Sir, why don't you
come with me?

No, I can't leave her.
It's fine. She's
in great hands.

Come with me to the rig.
No, she needs me!

Let's take care of you.
Let's take care of you.
Slow it down.

I need an extra rig.
734 Grove Street.
734 Grove Street, code three.

Roger that.
Rig on the way.
She's gonna be okay?

Yeah. Yeah.
You sure?

We've got one of the best
paramedics in the city
working on her.

Your daughter's gonna be
fine. You wanna hop up
here on the rig for me?

Yeah.
All right, thank you.

All right, right up there.
What's your name?
Jim.

Jim? All right, Jim,
I'm just gonna set up
some oxygen here.

Set you up with that
and see if we get you
breathing better,

see if that doesn't help.

All right. All right.

How's that?
Is that helping?

My chest hurts.
Your...

Okay, your chest...
Your chest hurts?
Where's the pain?

And down my arm.

Down...
Okay, down your arm.

All right, um, can
you step up with me?

Nancy, uh, I need
you here at the rig.

Dad's, uh,
complaining
of chest pains

radiating down
his left arm.

He's diaphoretic,
he's sweating,
and he's in a lot of pain.

I kind of got my
hands full down here.

You know what to do.

All right, all right.
All right, Jim.

There. I'm gonna
get you set up.

That's it. That's it.
That's it.

Oh, good girl.

Good girl. Good girl.
Dad. Dad.

Where...
Where's my dad?
He's just up there.

He's fine, just fine.

Good girl.

Okay, control,
I need my extra rig.
Where is it, now?

734 Grove Street.

Copy that.
Rig should be
arriving shortly.

Sir, are you on
any medications? You
allergic to any drugs?

No.
No?

All right.

Uh, all right.
Sir, you're having a
myocardial infarction.

It's a heart attack, okay?
I'm gonna give you some
nitroglycerin.

Okay, just lift
your tongue,
all right?

I want to see
if this helps.

There we go, Jim.

Jim?

Jim?

Nancy, I need you over
here. I'm losing him.

Is he talking about
my dad? What's going on?

Okay.
I'm sure he'll be just fine.

I'll bring him to
the hospital for you.

Clear.

What happened?
The monitor read it
as an MI, all right?

BP 106 systolic.

I administered the nitro,
and then he just crashed.

What?
What did I do?

What have you
given him already?

Epi.
Okay. Hold CPR.

What?

What did I do?
Let's just go, Glenn.

What have you got?
You got it?

I think you should
probably call it, Joe.

Ready?

Hey, hey.
Ready? One, two, three.

What are you talking
about? We had him
the whole way here.

He's gone, Glenn.

It's an RV infarc.
What did you push?

I followed protocol.
I administered nitro
after I pushed the epi.

What?

Dr. Joe,
I'm gonna call it.

Time of death, 10:20.

Where's the daughter?
In trauma bay four.

What...
What...

Hey, would someone
tell me what I did wrong?

Did I...
Did I kill him?
Did I kill him?

Glenn.
Just be straight with me.

Tell me what I did wrong.
Nothing. You
followed protocol.

What did I do?

You followed protocol.

But protocol
isn't always right.

An RVI is different
from a regular
myocardial infarction.

BP was borderline.
Protocol says nitro,
but...

Sometimes that creates
a cascade effect

that is impossible
to come back from.

So I killed him.

Look, it's
a judgment call.

It's the difference between
running every call by the book

and trusting
your instincts.

How was I
supposed to know?
You weren't.

I know you hate this,

but there are things that
you still need to learn.

Today you did what
you thought was right.

Next time you'll know
what not to do.

I don't think the
daughter's gonna care
about next time.

Listen, hey,

we've all been
through this.

That's why they say
throughout training,
you know,

"It's just a matter of time.
You will kill someone. "

Look, the first time
always sucks.

It never gets easier.

But you will get better.

Oh, yeah, there's still some
residual swelling back there,

but nothing serious.

Can you say
"ah" for me, Sam?

Ah.
There you go.
Doing good.

Almost done.

I think we need to keep
an eye on you for
a few hours.

Did you know that you're
allergic to bee stings?

No.
You're lucky.

You know, the first
anaphylactic reaction
can be very serious.

When can I see my dad?

I'll check, okay?

Should I...

I'll tell her
about her dad.

We're gonna miss you
around here.

Sam? May I call you Sam?

Yeah.

You've had
a rough morning.

Hey.
Hey, man.

You know you're not
supposed to be here,

not till you've complied
with the terms of your
suspension.

Oh, I'm compliant now.

I'm a new,
improved, compliant Rabbit.

How do you like that?

Yeah, I seen the doctor,
and she gave me a report.

We had a few laughs.

Okay.
Yeah.

She said, you know,
we can get back on
the schedule now.

Here, read this.
What's that?

Your doctor's a no-go
on coming back to work.

You can't dodge this.
You have to see her.

You know, actually,
I'm a little bit
concerned about her.

She's, uh, you know,
giving me those
elevator eyes.

You can't joke
your way out of this.

Come on, Bas,
come on, man. Just
pick up the phone.

Give me a shift.
I know you can do it.
You done it before.

You can do it now.
Come on, Bas.
Rabbit, Rabbit.

I'm a fan, but
my hands are tied.

Come on, man,
just give me
a shift.

Till your psych sheet
comes back clean,
you're suspended.

See the lady.
Work your stuff out.
Figure it out.

Hey. What
are you doing?

Pre-flight check.

Seriously?

Not sure
I understand
the question.

It's just, Rabbit never
gives a crap about
that stuff.

Hey, if I'm going to
trust this thing with
my life,

I'm going to damn well
know if it's up to snuff.

I believe I've died
and gone to heaven.

So, you don't leave it
all up to the mechanics,
do you?

Oh, hell no. Are you
kidding? They miss stuff
all the time.

Combat pilot, right?

Yeah. How
do you know?

Well, you've got that
"This is my baby, don't
mess with her" attitude.

Uh, so where you at?

Uh, right there.
Okay.

Horizontal
stabilizer light.

Optimal.

Main gen switch on.

Good to go.

Sir, you don't want to
lose that eye, though.

Hey, Boone.
Sir, do you have a family?

Hey, can you see
what time it is?

Just relax, okay?
They want you to be okay.

Hey.
What?

Yo. Hey.

After we drop
old, uh, Enrique off,

how about we go
get some noodles?

No, man.
I want some chicken.

What? No.

You... You are not
going to do this
to me again, man.

It's my turn.
It's not your turn.

Dude, it's my turn.
Is it Monday, or
is it not Monday?

Hey, it's my turn
to pick.
Dude. Hey!

Hey!

Did he just...
Did he just jump out?

Hey, turn your car off.

Yeah,
okay. Got it.

Couldn't
stop in time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, man. All right.
Okay.

All right, let's get
him out of there.

One, two, three.
All right.

Roll him.
There we go.
All right. Okay.

Done.

He's not breathing.
Yeah.

He's got an open
compound tibia
fracture.

Pulse is thready,
about 150.

Whoa, and he's got multiple
broken ribs protruding
through the skin.

Flail chest?
Not quite.

Let me get this on
here. That's it.
Yeah. Up.

Just jumping out of
a moving car like that,

what was he
thinking, huh?

Here we go.

Yeah, it's all about
soccer on Saturdays.

Now I got two games.
Mmm-hmm.

Then the wife is always
dragging me to church
on Sundays, so, uh...

Oh,
that sounds fun.

Weekends are
a little different
these days.

Hey, I'm gonna grab
something from my
locker, okay?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.
How's suspension?

Yeah, it's awesome,
you know.

I'm getting to all those
home improvement things
I've been putting off.

It's good. It's good.
Yeah?

Enjoying it, yeah.
So, Andy...

Yeah. He's, uh...
He's great.

Don't get too attached,
all right, because,

I mean,
you're gonna get
bored real soon.

Oh, really?
You cannot hang with

a cookie-cutter medic
like that.

Oh, right, 'cause you
just know me so well.

Yeah, I do.
Well, what I know
about you

is you crave this
just as much as I do.

That's what I know.

Hey, Marisa,
we got a call.

Hey, come on. Admit it.
It's not the same without me.
We got to go.

Oh, it's definitely not
the same without you.

Take it easy, Rabbit.

Andy.

Rabbit.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just gonna
finish this up.

I just want to know...

I can see why
he wanted to stay in this
wonderful country of ours.

I mean, it's...
Oh, look. Here we go.

Frick and Frack,
huh? Huh?

What? What's with
the long faces?

RVI nitro cocktail.

Dude, that's it.

What?
What?

That's why our last
call went to hell.

Tyler!
No, no, no. We're
under probie curse.

What?
What are you
talking about?

You kill someone during
your probationary period,

and the entire station is
hit with screwed-up calls

until you make a save,
which I'm not holding my
breath on that one, so...

You think this is a joke?
This is funny to you?

That's a stupid
superstition.

Superstition.
Not if it works,
it's not.

Thanks.
Thanks a lot, guys.

Hey!
You're welcome. What?

Dude, did you see that?
Why you got to make a joke
out of everything, bro?

It's part of my charm.

Right?

You're cute.
Yeah, I know. I know.

I did a couple lines
of coke. Could that
be the problem?

Just relax. I'm going
to lift your shirt

and we're going to
take a reading of
your heart, okay?

Want to get him started?

Oh, uh, I'm not that
good with the heart stuff.

Oh, come on.
Take a crack at it.
It's good to practice.

You're going
to let her practice on me?

Well, how bad's
the pain, scale of
one to ten?

About a five.

She can practice on you.
Go for it.

It'll be fine.
Uh, okay.

Uh, right lead here.

That's... That's
close. Here, let me...
Close?

Don't sweat it. EMTs
aren't really expected
to get the leads right.

Yeah, well, Rabbit would
have kicked my ass for that.

Rabbit expects
too much from you.

No. No.
Hey, Joe.

Joey, this whole therapy
thing is a waste of time.

You got to convince Basra
I'm not crazy, all right?

Who's gonna convince me?
Come on.

I know I did
something wrong,

but I don't need
a therapist to tell me why.

This isn't just
about the bank.

You've been on
the edge for a while.

On the edge? Look,
I get the job done.
You know.

At what cost?

Have you ever
asked yourself

why you have this
resistance to
whatever it is that's

building up that stuff
inside of you, all this
hostility of yours?

Yeah, I have thought
about it, and I know why.

Why?
Stupid people.

You can't keep
deflecting forever, man.

You're self-destructing.

And the pity of it is
you don't even know it.

Oh, come on, Joe.

Look, I know I've
been a bad boy.

I get it.

But I can change it,
all right?

No, you can't,
not by yourself.

Right now you're
a danger to yourself

and everyone
around you.

And I don't just
mean on the job.

Hey, Sam.

You don't have to say
anything. I just wanted
to check on you.

You know, it's...

It's always strange,

'cause your chart says
everything's fine.

But everything's not fine.

I just wish we
could fix that, too.

I am so sorry
about your dad,
deeply sorry.

Thank you.

Ah, Glenn.

Oh, Glenn, I just
love what you've done
with this lovely day.

You screwed it up for all
of us, haven't you, buddy?

Hey.
What? No, I'm just
trying to thank him.

How'd you get
the sandwich shop
in on it?

You owe me a tuna sub.
Enough, Tyler! Enough!

Oh, come on.
Are you going to
get that save today?

Okay, guys,
thank you. I'll
take it from here.

Thank you. Sir?
Sir, can you
hear me?

Patient unconscious.

Multiple superficial
lacerations.
Start a line.

Probable rib fractures,

unstable pelvis.

Okay.

No breath sounds
bilaterally.

Come on, Glenn.

Come on, buddy. You can
do this. I know you can.

You've done it
a million times
before.

Come on, Glenn,
you can do this, okay?

You okay?

Shit.

Tyler!

Here,
you got this?
I got it.

Yeah?
I need you.

Move aside.
Move aside.
Take this.

Move, move, move.

Got it. Okay.

Out of the way.

Come on, buddy.

Okay, I got it.

Load and go.

Hey, it's Nancy.
Leave me a message.

Hey. Um, I just got
back to your place.

Give me a call when you
know what you're doing.

Okay.

Who is it?

Come in.

I'm not going.

That's what they all say.
Then I never see them again.

No, I'm really
not going.

Yes. You are.

That's why they
call it a rotation.

I do good work here,
don't I?

Yes, very.

I imagine you'll do
good work wherever
you go, Diana.

You're a talented
physician.

Thank you.

And this isn't a very
glamorous rotation,
is it?

No. We tend to get the
blood-and-guts types.
Go figure.

And rarely does anyone
come back to trauma
once they've had a taste

of more money
and better hours, do they?

They do not.

I make a difference here.
I want to stay.

Think about
what you're doing.

I have. This is the one
thing that I want to do.

You can't know that yet.

When you started working
trauma, did you know?

Yes, but
I was an idiot.
I want to be here.

I should be here.
I mean, if you disagree,
you can bounce me out, but...

I want to declare
my specialty in trauma.

All right,
Dr. Van Dine.

Welcome to hell.

Angel Rescue 2,

respond to possible
stroke on Treasure Island.

Requires immediate medevac.

Copy that.
Hold up.

Fuel's a little low.
Let's get Angel
Rescue 1 to take it.

Uh, control, what is
Angel Rescue 1's 20?

Fifteen minutes out.

Oh, we're closer.
We'll be fine.

That doesn't matter.
Let's... Let's just...

Let's land and
take care of
the copter.

We'll be fine.
Just relax.

Angel 1's too far out,
and the guy needs our help.

Control, this is
Angel Rescue 2,
en route to Treasure Island.

This is Hank,
55-year-old male,

probable stroke,
GCS 10.

Mildly hypertensive
at 140 over 80, pulse 70.

All right,
thanks, guys.
We got it.

Control, this is
Angel Rescue 2
departing Treasure Island.

We're five minutes out.

This is not what
I signed on for.

We should have let
Rescue 1 take
the call.

Are you kidding?
And miss out on
all this? You crazy.

There's still time
to land safely somewhere.

We'll get a rig to meet
us. The patient's stable.

Dude, just relax,
okay? Man!

We're not gonna make it.
We're gonna be fine,
all right?

I know my copter.

She's got the blood and
juice to get us there.
Just relax.

We're fine.

That was awesome.

Awesome?
That was awesome?

You are just as nuts
as your psycho partner.

You two deserve
each other.

Here we go.
Okay.

Medic 114,

SFPD requesting paramedic
assist in domestic
disturbance.

How you feeling?

He's gonna
make it, right?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm...
I'm gonna...

Oh. Oh, whoa, whoa!
This is not happening.

Uh-uh. No, no, no, no.

What?
Whoa. Got a flat.
You're kidding me!

Glenn!

Probie curse.

I'm gonna punch
Glenn in the face.

Flat tire.
Don't even say it.

Medic 78, uh, requesting
roadside assistance
at Lombard and Columbus.

Need immediate
transport for patient.

Copy that, Medic 78.

Hey, she's crashing.

What? She was fine
two seconds ago.

What?

Okay, come on,
hold on. Hold on.

Come on.

Oh, you got to be
kidding me.
What? What? What?

There's no juice.

No, no. I checked
it this morning. Hey!

Did you charge
the batteries?

Of course I did.
Ah, freaking probie.

All right, look out.
Here we go.

I'm jumping in.
Okay.

Come on, sweetheart.
Come on, come on. Come on,
stay with us.

Girlfriend took
a butcher knife to him

because he drop-kicked
her Maltese.

I love these calls.

Hey. Hey, sir, can you
tell me your name?

G- Dub.
Yeah, what
year is it, G-Dub?

2010.

You okay? Hey,
you with me?

Yeah.

Come on.
Okay.

All right.
Hold CPR.

I'm pushing epi.

All right.
Continue CPR.

All right, uh, G-Dub.
Hey. Hey, man!

On a scale of one to ten,
how much does it hurt?

Three thousand, man.
Three thousand?
All right, here.

Take it easy.
Take a breath.

Take a breath.
Put your legs down.

How's that?
Is that any better?

Oh, God! All I wanted
was for that damn dog
to stop barking.

Sharp's out.
That crazy bitch.

She turned me
inside out.

Oh, put my guts back
in my gut, man.

Nancy, got estimated
blood loss of 500 ccs.

Okay, yeah,
I see that.
Patch him up.

Get a baseline.

Hang with me here. Hang
with me. Hang with me.
Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Radial pulse about 120.
Nancy, he's, uh...

He's going into shock.
He's out.

Come on, G-Dub.
Stay with me, buddy.

I got it.

Come on, G-Dub.
You got it?

G- Dub, stay with us, buddy.

Sharp's out.

You're doing good.

Come on, buddy.
Talk to me, G-Dub.

You back?

There you go.
Officer, grab
that board.

You got it.
Okay.

All right,
we're gonna get
you boarded.

We're gonna get you
out of here, buddy.
You're gonna be okay.

Stay with me.
There we go.

There we go, bud.
Atta boy.

Wait. Hold CPR.

What? What? What? What?

She's coming back.

Yeah?

She's back.
Yeah, come on.
What?

Dude, Glenn
got a save.

Hey, dude,
Glenn got a save.

Probie curse is over.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah!

Yeah,
yeah. Yeah!

Yeah?
I hate you.

I really, really hate you.

I finally get a partner
who has some semblance
of reality.

He...
He's responsible.

He's rocking
the medicine.

He's a family man.
And you know what?
I screw it up.

And you know why?
Because I am jonesing.

I am jonesing for that high
just like your sorry ass,
and you know what?

You have absolutely
ruined me.

So get it
together, okay?
Just man up...

There he is.

Hey, you got a save,
didn't you?

Talk to me.
You got a save.

And you're still not
done? Are you gonna
bust my balls?

Are you...
You still going?

No. Dude,
curse is over.

You did good, man.
You did good, dude.

Whatever.

Hey. Look, dude.

Now, the reason I've been
giving you all this crap
all day,

I've been riding you
so hard, is because
it reminds me of...

It reminds me
of my probie kill.

Yes.
You had...

Yes,
I did, all right?

And the curse went
on a lot longer
than yours did.

Trust me. I was
living in Boston.

Always cold in Boston.
I don't know what the
deal with Boston is.

Hated the Celtics,
loved the city,

so you understand
my dilemma.

Um...

Babe?

Oh, it's been a long
day. I want a bath.
Are you around?

Where are you?

You know what, Rabbit?
I get it. I really do.

You screwed up everything
else in your life, and I...

And I guess
that I am next.

I'm not gonna try
and stop you, Rabbit,
you know?

It's your decision.

You either pull yourself
out of that deep, dank hole

that you have
willfully descended into,

or you just stay there,
'cause I am sure as hell

not getting dragged
down there with you.
I can't.

It's your call.

In or out.

What is it gonna be?

Come on.
Don't do this.
What?

Is it this
important to you?

Really, this
isn't necessary.

Oh, no, but you're here.
It's too late now.

Now let me give you
a little bit of the lay
of the land, all right?

The blond
chick talking to Tony at
the bar?

Yeah.
Yeah. Vodka
makes her horny.

Man, woman...

I speak
from experience.

With her?

Well, she tried.
You're bad.

The redheaded chick
right there...

Checking you out,
waving at you? Yeah.
Yeah. Who is that?

Yeah,
um, don't get her any
margaritas.

Tequila makes her
belligerent.

Yeah?
Yeah.

And, uh, her friend there,
that chick beside her?

If you get a lot
of rum in her,

she'll give you
a lap dance to remember.

If you get the right
song on the jukebox.
Yeah?

Lots of things
at play there.

Wait, what song?
So, uh...

I don't know.
Depends on her mood.

And how much rum
you give her.

Now go forth
and conquer.

You don't get it,
do you?

What?

They're not
why I'm here.

Let's go get a beer.

And a lap dance.

I'm ready.
