SkyMed (2022) s04e04 Episode Script
Deadheading
If I'd known it was gonna be
her, I would've told you.
[HAYLEY] Wheezer,
you used to be engaged.
So, you meant Zay. What do you think?
He's cool. Cute, not my type, but
[WHEEZER] Jeremy Wood Clinic?
Oh, that is great, Cryssy.
Jer would be so proud.
And maybe I didn't want you
to be impressed
by who my family is, Crystal.
Maybe I hoped you'd just
be impressed by me.
I'm not used to sharing
this job with somebody,
especially someone I'm dating.
But Hayley,
I wouldn't be dating you
if I didn't respect
how smart and capable you are.
Because I do believe in you always.
You are the person that
I believe in the most.
[EASY JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS]
Wheezer, I got your text.
Just in time. Stef went to a movie.
The kids are all out on calls.
So, surprise! Hope you're hungry.
Oh, my God. You made Brussels sprouts?
- You hate Brussels sprouts.
- Yeah, but you love them.
You look very pretty, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
Do you want to open
the sparkling apple juice?
Wow, we're going sparkling?
Yeah, well,
I wanted tonight to be special.
You're the most important person
in my life, Hayley.
We've been dating for a while now,
and I think, I mean, I hope
we're both in this
for the long haul, so
Oh.
[CORK POPS]
[WHEEZER SIGHS]
Oh, my God, Wheezer!
Can you hold this while I get a cloth?
[LAUGHS]
- Oh Oh, my God.
- What?
I'm sorry, I-I thought
you were proposing.
- What?
- I know, but I mean,
the flowers and this, and I
Come on, you never light candles.
Wow, I, I screwed up
this romantic apology dinner
almost as much as I screwed up
being bosses with you, huh?
Oh, that's why you made
Brussels sprouts.
Wheezer, it's not all you.
I really want to do a good job,
and I put way too much
pressure on things.
No, no, no, you were right,
and I want you to know that
I'm sorry. I do not
take you for granted,
and you are the best chief nurse
that I have ever worked with,
and my favorite person.
Well, I'm also sorry.
And you are the best chief pilot
I've ever worked with, too.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Oh, my God. Of course.
Of course this wasn't a proposal.
No, I get it. I totally get it.
No, but I know you, Wheezer,
and I know this, you know,
you wouldn't,
you wouldn't propose like this.
Uh, no, because I don't think
I want to get married again
It's way too soon.
Oh my God. Yeah, no, of course.
I mean, we've never,
we've never talked about it, and I
- I shouldn't have assumed.
- No, but it's not you.
It's just that marriage
has never really worked out
in my life. You know,
my dad left my mom,
and then my engagement to Riley ended,
and my actual marriage to Lynn ended.
Yeah. No, it's it's okay.
You don't have to explain it.
No, I don't want
to mess things up, okay?
I just, I think that things are,
are going great, aren't they?
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I think that we are great.
- We're great. Things are great.
- Yes.
- Everything's fine, okay.
- Great.
Let's eat. This looks amazing.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[BLOWS OUT BREATH]
[THEME MUSIC]
[PLANE ROARS]
[CRYSTAL] Hey, Frieda,
how did the clinic proposal go?
[FRIEDA] Crystal, we got funding.
- What?
- I know we thought
we'd have to wait until spring,
but I just found out
they're approving our proposal now.
Uh, Frieda, that's fantastic.
It means we can open this winter.
That's so soon.
I know!
I've got a million things to do.
Oh, you do too. Call me tomorrow, Cuz.
We'll talk it through. Hiy-hiy!
Hiy uh, yeah, bye.
Is that Mrs. Kiezebrink's chart?
Yeah, it's, it's her chart
and her applesauce.
- Oh.
- She didn't want it,
and I haven't eaten today, so
Did you see those GSWs that came in?
- Hmm?
- They were two prison guards.
Two convicts escaped.
They're still on the loose.
- Oh, my God. Oh!
- [SCREECHING ALARM]
Whoa! Uh
It's Mr. Radek.
He keeps pulling off his leads.
Got it.
Ugh
- Whoa.
- Ooh! Damn it.
I thought you were an escaped convict.
This is applesauce, not barf.
Oh, no, don't worry.
I won't tell anyone
about your kinky snack fetish.
If you don't tell anyone
I'm borrowing their gauze and saline
to restock my flight bag.
May want to check on
the post-op patient in room 114,
by the way. History of COPD
and corticosteroids.
He's a prime candidate for sepsis.
Already started him on antibiotics.
Nice. Did you want
to differential on room 127?
I have an interesting thought.
Zay, you don't have to try so hard
to impress me. No one here cares
who your family are.
I don't even know why it matters
to you to impress me.
Honestly, it matters
'cause I'm not really used
to having to chase girls.
Is that what this is about?
You trying to chase me?
Right now? No, no, right now,
I am trying to impress you
with my mad medical skills.
When I start chasing you
[PLASTIC CRINKLES]
you'll know.
You really think
it's gonna be that easy, huh?
No, I don't really think
anything with you is easy.
But I don't think
you'd let anyone who didn't
respect that catch you.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't
want to jump your bones.
But the sexiest thing about you
is your brain.
You're smart, you're strong,
and you're tough.
So, even though you're super hot,
what I really want
is to jump your brain.
Just say the word, Dr. Highway.
[SOFT CURIOUS MUSIC]
[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]
Shoot, could you help me
with this strap?
- Oh, sure.
- Just my tremors,
and I don't trust myself
not to drop it.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
We should be getting going soon,
but let me just check with
Captain Heaseman, okay?
Okay, okay, thank you.
What's the holdup?
We've been waiting for an hour.
Yeah, we're waiting on clearance.
The Northern Police have two
escaped convicts on the loose,
so security's tight
while they're looking.
- What?
- It sounds like they're
a couple of bank robbers,
but they shot two prison guards
during their escape.
Air ambulance is still a priority,
but probably going
to have to wait a second.
Oh, hey, you know what?
I got this for you.
What is this?
Gourmet hot chocolate?
Yeah, I saw it at the Whiskey Hatch
this morning and I thought
maybe you could use something fancy
for the stash in your flight bag.
How did you know about this?
Well, I know that you always
carry hot chocolate,
but I didn't know it's because
it reminded you of your mom
until you told that kid last week
who wouldn't buckle his seatbelt.
[CHUCKLES]
I think Mom deserves something
nice, don't you?
Thank you.
[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]
I know you should ask first,
but you and your fellow
look so perfect,
I didn't want to interrupt.
Aw. [CHUCKLING]
How did you know he was my boyfriend?
Oh, sweetie. I can
always spot the real thing.
Do you photograph a lot of couples?
Oh, no. I used to be a painter.
I was pretty good, too. Even got
one of my pieces in Rideau Hall.
But I had to give it up.
The tremors got too bad.
Photography's a little easier,
you know.
- Can I see?
- Yeah.
[ANNA] I can't drive a car
and my marriage fell apart.
Some days the tremors are so bad,
I can't even feed myself.
But art is who I am.
Parkinson's will try
to take away everything
that matters to you.
And some things you
you don't have a choice.
But some things you do.
And you have to decide
what you're willing to let go of
and what you aren't.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Do you think I can get a copy of this?
- Of course.
- Thank you.
[EXHALES]
Would you look at that?
Even with the security issues,
we're still gonna get
out of here in time
to have a night off.
Wheezer, about last night
I know, I, um
I said everything was fine
the way it is, but
I want to get married, Wheezer.
It's important to me.
And when you said that, um
you were in this
for the long haul, I
- Hayley, I am.
- But
what does that mean, Wheezer?
What does the long haul
mean to you
if it doesn't mean marriage?
It means
the long haul together,
the two of us, partners.
I don't want to be
with anybody else, Hayley.
I want to be with you.
But I want to be with you
the way that we are.
But being committed to each other,
that doesn't have to mean marriage.
Look
I've already had to give up so much
with the BRCA1 gene.
I always saw myself getting married
and having kids and and a family.
But because of the gene,
I can't have kids, Wheezer,
and that's not my choice.
But whether or not
I get married is, and I'm
I'm not sure I can give that up.
I believe in you, Hayley.
But I do not believe in marriage.
This is too big a risk.
All my other relationships
have failed.
But that doesn't mean that ours would.
But what if it did?
Even if it was a friendly divorce
like the one I had with Lynn
I don't think I can go
through that again, Hayley.
Not with you.
I think I'm going to go
see Crystal tonight.
I still love you, Wheezer.
I still love you, too.
I think I just need
some space tonight, okay?
Yeah, okay. Whatever you need.
[SOFT EMOTIONAL MUSIC]
[GURNEY RATTLING]
[OMINOUS BEAT]
Don't make a sound.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[GRUNTS]
My dad needs a doctor
and you're gonna save him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm not
a doctor. I'm not a medic.
Your ambulances fly out of the hangar,
and you were pushing a stretcher.
Yeah, off the plane. Look,
there's a misunderstanding.
- I'm a pilot.
- Shut up and help him.
No, you see these gold bars
in my shoulder?
That means I am a pilot.
I'm not a nurse.
Those just mean rank.
Prison guards have bars, too.
It doesn't mean shit.
[COCKS GUN]
Save him or you die.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
- [GASPS]
- Is that snacks?
I haven't eaten since half
an applesauce six hours ago.
Ooh! Is that the proposal
for the new clinic?
[CRYSTAL] Yeah, we got the funding.
We're opening this winter.
[GASPING EXHALE]
Crys, that's
That's amazing.
I'm so happy for you.
You've worked really hard for this.
You're gonna help so many people.
Hayley, are you okay?
Wheezer doesn't want to get married.
I-I didn't even know you two
were talking about marriage.
We weren't, but then we were
talking about long-term,
and I thought he was proposing,
but it was just a Brussels sprout.
[SIGHS] Look, we've had ups and downs,
but I don't just love him, Crys.
I like him a lot.
He's one of my best friends.
And I know marriage shouldn't
matter, but after my mom died,
I just, I think
I think it's really something
I need to do.
I mean, Wheezer's a good guy.
The best guy.
And he took his divorce hard.
Even though it was for the best,
I think he really blamed himself.
He's just scared.
I'm scared, too.
I mean, I don't know
if this is something
that I can give up, Crys.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Uh, hold pressure.
They always hold pressure.
[SHARP EXHALE]
That's it? That's all you're doing?
I don't know, man. The medics, they,
they usually start an IV and stuff.
So, do it. Give him what he needs.
I don't even know
if that's what he needs,
and I don't see any of those
big bags of fluid
- in here anyway.
- Just do it!
Okay, okay. I will figure it out.
Kurt, give him space. Let him work.
- [KURT] You okay, Dad?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
Watch him.
[GUN RATTLES]
I hope you're not a hothead, son.
That's the last thing we need today.
I got my hands full already
with my own kid.
[STRAINED BREATHING]
Those two guards that got shot
Did they make it?
I don't know, we're air ambulance.
They would have got picked up
by somebody in town.
It all went down so fast.
Just like at the bank last year.
I had everything under control.
It was all going so smooth.
Until it wasn't.
That's not how I operate. But, Kurt
[UNSETTLING BEAT]
I don't want anyone else hurt.
So, don't put me
in a bad position here, okay?
Yeah, I'll try not to put you
in a position any worse
than the one I'm in, all right?
I'm Jay, by the way.
You know, people call me Wheezer.
Jesus. You lose a bet?
I'm a pilot.
Call signs come with the territory.
Kurt and me, we're all we have.
So, we got to take care of each other.
He takes care of getting us in shit,
and I take care of getting us out.
[GASPS]
That sounds like a raw deal for you.
Yeah.
But I owe him that.
[STRAINED BREATHING]
I left his mother when he was a kid.
And Kurt, he didn't have it easy.
But my dad left
when I was a kid, so I know
it screws you up.
Yeah, my dad left when I was 12.
But I didn't turn into a bank robber,
and I never hurt anyone.
Look, I don't know how
this shit works.
And I-I think I'm supposed
to put it in a vein,
but I'm not exactly sure
how to find one,
and I don't want to hurt you, so
I don't know, maybe, maybe
it's this thing here?
[KURT GRUNTS]
[THUDDING BLOW]
Are you stupid?
I told you not to try anything.
[JAY] I don't think
he was lying, Kurt.
I don't think he's a medic.
Check his pocket. I saw ID in there.
Shit. Shit.
Look, I can still
help your dad. I can
I can take him
to the hospital for you.
No, no, they'll arrest him.
He can't go back to jail.
Look, he's hurt.
He needs help. I am not a medic.
I cannot give him what he needs, man.
Then I'll kidnap someone who can.
Don't bring anyone else into this.
Please, I'll-let me just
take him to the hospital.
Even if he ends up in jail,
at least he'll be alive.
No.
I appreciate you wanting to help,
but I can't go back to jail.
There's a SkyMed contact list.
There's a bunch of nurses in here,
Crystal, Stef, Hayley.
There's even an address
for a crew house.
I'll go get one of them.
[WHEEZER] No! No, no, no.
The police, they've been
looking for you everywhere.
There's no way that you're
going to make it there and back.
- He's right, Kurt.
- I know someone that can help.
But I won't let you
go to the crew house,
and I will not let you bring her here.
But if you let me use my phone,
I-I can call her,
and she can talk me through
everything that your dad needs.
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDING]
Don't take any stupid risks.
And if you and your friends
try anything
Crys, you're really gonna be
running a whole clinic.
Yeah.
I just hope I'm ready.
I've always had nurses and doctors
and entire hospitals backing me up,
and now it's just gonna be me
by myself.
And the community's trusting me
to know what I'm doing,
and they're trusting me
to make these really big
decisions for them.
[PHONE RINGING]
[CALL BEEPS ON]
- [CRYSTAL] Hello?
- Crystal?
[KURT] Tell her not to call
anyone. Tell her no cops.
Wheezer, are you okay?
[WHEEZER] Hayley, I'm in trouble.
What do you know about gunshot wounds?
There's two bullet holes.
There's one in his chest
and there's one in his leg.
[CRYSTAL] Okay, are those
the only injuries you see?
I don't know. There's a lot of blood.
I can't see. Can you,
can you give me some light?
[CRYSTAL] Okay, uh,
the one in his chest,
is it bubbling? Is there air
coming out when he breathes?
- No.
- Okay, the wound in his leg,
where is it? Thigh? Calf?
It's by his knee.
[CRYSTAL] Okay, the wound in his chest
is the bigger issue. You need to put
hemostatic gauze
in the leg wound for now.
Wheezer, the hemostatic gauze
is in the flight bag.
Just push it in with your finger
like you're pushing it into a straw.
I'm so sorry, man.
[JAY GROANS]
[JAY SHOUTS]
[KURT] You're hurting him.
I could take him to a hospital.
They have pain meds there.
No, I'll deal with it.
[HAYLEY] We need to hook him up
to a monitor
so we can assess his vitals.
Put the white lead
on his right shoulder.
The red goes on his left hip.
Could you, can you help me with that?
[HAYLEY] The black
on his left shoulder,
and the green on his right hip
below the white.
[WHEEZER] Got it.
White, white.
White on his right shoulder,
yeah. Now the red.
Now what?
Turn it on, check his vitals.
[MONITOR BEEPS]
Okay, the numbers are flashing.
It says 130 and then 90 over 50.
They're going down.
Shit. His BP's low.
He's lost a lot of blood.
He needs fluids.
Wheezer doesn't have any.
The saline's in my bag.
[WHEEZER] Uh, I got one here.
It's small.
It looks like it's maybe
100 milliliters.
I don't think that's gonna be enough.
[HAYLEY] No, it's not.
Wait, we use those small bags
to dilute the medications in.
- [MONITOR ALARM SOUNDING]
- Help him! Help him!
We could do a direct transfusion?
Crystal, no. Nobody does that.
That's not safe.
The blood isn't screened.
Well, if you had a gun to your head
[HEAVY SIGH]
Wheezer, does the patient
know his blood type
- or maybe his son's?
- I don't know.
No, is that a problem?
Wheezer, your blood type
is an O-negative.
You're the universal donor.
And according to your last
pilot medical,
you don't have any
blood-borne diseases, right?
I I sure hope not.
Okay, we're going
to give him your blood.
- What?
- What?
The patient is bleeding out. Okay?
This isn't any harder
than starting an IV.
I'll walk you through it.
You need an 18-gauge needle.
Okay, and you need two sterile
IV ports.
They look like these little IV lines
with a cap on the end,
and a tourniquet.
Okay.
You need to put it around the bicep,
above the elbow,
and make sure it's tight enough
until you see a vein.
Yeah, I think I can see a vein.
Now swab it with alcohol
and stick the needle in.
Wait, is that it? I just
I just stick it in?
Yeah, that's
that's more or less it.
Just enter the vein and slide
the plastic catheter off.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[TAPE RIPS]
It's in. What's next?
Uncap the port.
Attach the line
from the small saline bag.
Can you hold that?
[CRYSTAL] And make sure
the line is open.
You see the little roller thing?
Yeah, yeah, I got it. It's going.
Now you need to start
an IV line in your own vein.
Same as what you did with
the patient. It's super easy.
Hey, Cryssy, I need you to know
that nothing about this is super easy.
[WHEEZER GROANS]
[WHEEZER] Okay, it's in.
How does the saline bag look?
- [WHEEZER] It's empty.
- [CRYSTAL] Good.
Now you're going to detach it
from the patient
and attach it to your own port.
All right.
Do you see blood? Is it flowing?
Yeah, I got it. The bag's filling.
[CRYSTAL] Now put it somewhere low,
somewhere on the ground
or something for it to fill up.
And once it's filled up,
you're going to detach it,
cap your port,
and connect it to the patient.
- Oh, just that easy, huh?
- [CRYSTAL] Yes, and if you can,
keep the blood bag moving
so it doesn't coagulate.
Oh, okay, that is
ugh, that is very warm.
So that's it? I just give this
to him and then we're done?
Uh not exactly.
A full blood transfusion
is 350 milliliters. That was only 100.
You're gonna have
to do it a few more times.
Crystal told me I have
to keep taking your temperature
while we're doing this,
in case you have a reaction.
[JAY WINCES]
[JAY] Well, what's it say?
Are the bullets going to kill me
or will it be your blood?
Hopefully, neither.
Your son
he's got a vicious left hook.
He's just like my old man.
[TENSE UNDULATING MUSIC]
How old was he when you left?
Eight or nine.
Tracked me down a couple of years ago.
I could see he started
down a bad road,
getting in trouble.
I thought maybe I could
straighten him out.
Maybe help him avoid
the mistakes I made.
He'd be better than me.
So, why'd you do it?
Why did you leave?
[SCOFFS]
I could say I left my family
because I thought they'd be
better off without me.
That'd be a lie.
I felt trapped.
I felt pressured
to be somebody different.
I felt just as trapped there
as I did in prison.
So, why get married
and then have a kid?
Why ruin two other people's lives?
[CHUCKLES]
It's just like robbing banks, son.
No one would do it if they
thought they'd get caught.
You only do it
if you convince yourself
this time you'll get away with it.
This time will be different.
But I'm still me.
I'm still my father's kid.
We always make the same mistakes.
[CHUCKLES]
Or maybe that's just a shitty excuse
to do whatever you want
and screw everyone else,
like your kid over there.
So, you're not a bank robber.
But I bet you're still
pissed at your dad. Even now.
I'd bet you'd make all kinds
of choices you wouldn't have
if he didn't leave you.
You make 'em so you can say
you're not like your old man.
I am not.
Sure.
But your dad's leaving,
the anger he left you with,
that made you.
And the more you fight it,
the more that anger will have
you acting just like him.
I got divorced,
and I did not leave my son.
I am a good father.
I take care of my family.
I am not my dad. You understand?
[STRAINED BREATHING]
Yeah. Kurt's not me either.
He's worse.
Hey. What are you doing
with that light?
He's just giving me blood, Kurt.
No, he's not. He's signaling.
[POUNDING KNOCKS]
You're just a blood bag for my dad.
[COCKS GUN]
If you try anything,
we will drain you,
and we will leave you dry.
You get that?
Oh, God!
Whoever it is, get rid of them.
Captain Heaseman?
This hangar's supposed to be empty.
Oh, I'm sorry, Danny. Um
Bert's got a plane for sale in here.
Just checking it out
for a friend of mine
who's interested.
You know, kicking the tires.
You okay? You-you have an accident?
Oh yeah, look at that.
It looks like I'm doing
surgery in here.
Um, no, it's oil.
As long as you're okay.
You hear about those escaped convicts?
- Oh, yeah.
- Gotta keep a close eye out.
Um do you know Marti?
Because Marti was the one
that was supposed to come
take a look at the plane,
but he didn't show.
- Who?
- Oh, right.
Marti only works at SkyMed.
[GUN RATTLES]
Hey, what's that? Oh, my bad.
Hey, uh sorry, man.
Marti, he must have come in
through the other door.
- I didn't hear him, but
- Okay.
Stay safe, Chief Pilot Heaseman.
Yeah, you too, Danny.
Have a good night.
[KURT GRUNTS]
[KURT] Clever, prick.
You brought him here!
[GRUNTS]
You've been taking stupid risks
all night,
and it's gonna get you killed!
[WHEEZER GASPING]
We don't need you anymore.
He's got enough blood.
We'll get someone else.
Someone who can actually help him.
[JAY] Kurt wait.
Didn't you hear that, Kurt?
He's not just any pilot.
He's chief pilot.
He can take any plane,
any time he wants.
[GASPING]
No one's gonna question him.
He can get us out of here, Kurt.
[ANGRY GRUNTS]
Get him ready to fly.
Look, Jay I can't fly you anywhere.
The minute we were in the air,
it's not just my life,
it's everyone on the ground too.
I know. But I just didn't
want him killing you.
He's right, though,
no more dumb risks.
Jay. Jay?
[ALARM BEEPING]
Jay! Jay!
[WHEEZER] All his numbers went
down, except for his pulse,
- that went up.
- Okay, you have
the oxygen tank. Do you have a mask?
Yeah, I got the tube with the prongs.
Nasal cannula.
Okay, put that in his nostrils
and turn on the oxygen.
Okay, I got it.
Tachycardic, short of breath.
I mean those symptoms,
GSW, nine times out of ten,
it's a hemopneumothorax.
He needs a chest tube to drain fluid.
I have the OB kit, Crys.
Wheezer doesn't even have a scalpel.
Wheezer, you got needles, right?
Check the kit. There should be
a 14-gauge needle.
It's the biggest we carry.
We're going to keep this
super simple, okay?
Find the patient's nipple.
Draw a straight line
down with your finger.
Do the same thing
from the armpit.
Find where those lines meet.
- All right, I got it.
- Okay, now feel for the ribs.
- [WHEEZER] Yes.
- And you're going to stick
the needle between the ribs.
[NERVOUS BREATHING]
[SQUELCHING]
- [JAY GROANS]
- Okay, okay, I'm in.
Okay, good. Now hold it steady.
You need to remove the barrel.
That's the two-part
that retracts for safety.
The metal needle is going to
come with it.
It leaves the hub
in the patient's chest.
- Okay, now what?
- Now fluids can drain
from the hub, but you'll need to
to make a valve or a flap
to stop the fluids
from getting sucked back in.
It used to be an old trick
to rig chest tubes with a condom.
- [CHUCKLES]
- I love your faith in me,
Cryssy, but I don't carry those
when I'm flying,
and these boys just got out of prison.
You can use a glove.
Put the finger over the hub
and tape it into place.
[WHEEZER] Okay.
[TAPE CRINKLES]
[HAYLEY] Just make sure you
cut the end of the finger off
so the air can escape.
[WHEEZER] I can feel air.
That's good, right?
Yes, but just make sure
you put something underneath it
for the fluids to drain into.
There's no fluid, Crystal.
There's nothing coming out.
What? Are you in the right place?
- Did you go between the ribs?
- Yes, yes, yes,
where the nipple line
and the armpit meets. Yes.
What do we do?
[CRYSTAL] If you're
in the right place,
we just have to wait.
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS AND PEAKS]
[JAY] Tell me something good.
[GASPING]
You got a girl? Someone special?
Oh, come on, kid.
Don't hold out on me.
Yeah, I do have someone.
She's smart. She's funny.
She takes care of everyone.
She's been through a lot.
Most people, if they'd faced
what she's been through,
they'd be bitter or angry, but
it just makes her stronger.
It makes her better.
She makes me want to be better, too.
Sounds like a keeper.
Yeah.
Well, she wants to get married.
Uh-oh. You're gonna take that risk?
It was hard when my dad left,
but I survived.
My first engagement ended,
I survived that too.
Getting divorced was, um
I was worried about me,
I was worried about her,
and I was just so worried
about making sure
that my kid was okay, but
somehow, I survived that too.
But this girl
I don't think
I could survive losing her.
[DEEP GASP]
Look, man,
I don't think this is working.
I think we need to take you
to the hospital.
No, I won't go back to prison.
It's my fault, Dad.
It's my fault we went to prison.
[STRAINED BREATHING]
I shot the bank guards.
I shot the prison guards today, too.
He isn't like me.
He couldn't handle it in there.
I knew if we stayed in there
much longer, he'd yeah.
Look, I get it, man.
I get it. My dad left me, too.
I know how angry that makes you,
but you still just want
your dad to love you,
and you still want him
to have wanted you.
You still just want your dad.
[CRIES] Right? Yeah.
[WHEEZER CHUCKLES]
You've been telling me
all night not to take stupid risks,
and you know what the funny thing is?
I am not that guy, man.
I do not take risks.
But I am scared right now.
I am scared for me,
and I am scared for the people
that I care about.
And I know that you are scared
of losing your dad again.
But don't take a dumb risk, man.
He needs help.
We can make different choices.
We can be different.
How can I know that your friends
won't just call the cops?
How can I know they won't just
send him back to prison?
You keep me, okay?
You hold on to me
until you know that he's okay
and that they have let him go.
Please, man, you gotta save him.
Please.
I'd rather you let me die
than go back to prison.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
I'm sorry. I can't lose you again.
[WHEEZING]
Hey, listen. There's cargo vans
at the Skymed hangar. I can get one
- to take your dad to TCH.
- [KURT] No.
You don't go out of my sight.
[PHONE RINGING TONE]
[CRYSTAL] Wheezer,
is the patient okay?
Bring an ambulance to the airport.
You tell anyone what you're doing
or where you're going
I'll shoot your friend.
- Crystal, no, don't come.
- [KURT] Call for instructions
when you get here.
[CALL BEEPS OFF]
[POUNDING KNOCK]
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
You shouldn't have come.
- Wheezer, we had to.
- Get in. Move!
No! No, no, no, they stay out there.
- We send your dad out.
- [OMINOUS BEAT]
I have the gun.
I'll make the rules. Get in. Now.
Let's move!
Put your bags on the ground.
Over there! Over there! Now!
Give me your phones.
- Back up!
- Kurt, Kurt, Kurt,
they're not gonna
try anything, man, okay?
They're not gonna try anything.
Just let them take your dad.
Shut up!
Nobody is going to a hospital.
We're all gonna get
on a plane together.
And you are gonna take us
over the border.
And the two of you
are gonna keep my dad alive.
Get him ready to go. Move!
[GUNSHOT CRACKS, SCREAMING]
[WRENCH CLANGS TO GROUND]
- [WHEEZER GRUNTING]
- Wheezer!
I can't let you hurt my son.
I can't go back to prison.
I told you,
we always make the same mistakes.
[GASPING]
I want to be ready to go in an hour.
No, no, I won't let you
get on a plane.
I'm not gonna let you
endanger people on the ground.
Fine. Your call.
I have two medics.
I don't need both of you.
You're the doctor, right?
- I don't need a nurse, too.
- [COCKS GUN]
- [HAYLEY SHRIEKS]
- No! No, no, I'll do it,
I'll do it, I'll do it.
I'll take you wherever you want to go.
[WHEEZER WINCES]
We can't take off, Wheezer.
We have to keep these guys
on the ground.
You and Crystal shouldn't be here.
We'd rather be with you
than not be able
to do anything to help.
Listen to me,
I have a loaded syringe
of propofol in my flight bag
if I can get to it.
No! Look, this guy is dangerous.
What if he makes us take off?
Well, then I'll fly us to Bear River.
It's an abandoned strip,
and we don't have to fly over
any populated areas
to get there. Please, Hayley.
Please don't do anything risky.
I can't lose you.
[PHONE CHIMES]
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]
[TENSE MUSIC]
I'll start prepping the chest tube.
Hayley, I don't think
he has a hemopneumothorax.
Listen, his chest sounds clear.
What?
[JAY GROANING SOFTLY]
But he's tachycardic,
and his BP keeps dropping,
so he's bleeding out somewhere.
The entry wound looks angled.
It couldn't have hit his lungs.
I don't think it even
penetrated his rib cage.
- So, where did it go?
- Can you help me lift him?
[JAY GROANS]
Must have skittered along
his ribs under the skin.
So, why is he bleeding out?
The other gunshot wound.
Wheezer said he was on
his leg by his knee.
It's on his thigh, not his knee.
What's wrong with him?
Why is his leg so big?
The bullet nicked his femur.
He's bleeding out.
- From a broken leg?
- A broken femur can bleed out
without the patient ever losing
a single drop of blood
externally. He's bleeding out
into his leg.
We need to get him
to a hospital right now.
But you have those bags of water.
You said that's what he needed!
[CRYSTAL] No, he needs surgery.
We can't do anything
- for him on this plane.
- Kurt,
your dad is really sick, man.
Let the medics take him. Let them go.
No! I promised him
he's not going back to jail. Move!
Take off now. [GROANS]
I want to go west towards
Saskatchewan.
- And then we'll cross the border.
- Okay.
Now.
[PLANE ROARS]
How did I miss this?
Why didn't I get Wheezer
to check his leg better?
Crystal, don't do that.
You couldn't see the patient.
GSW to the chest.
I expected to see a hemopneumothorax,
so that's what I saw.
I made a decision to give
the patient a chest tube,
which he didn't need.
I made the wrong decision.
[MONITOR ALARM SOUNDING]
[SILENCES ALARM]
[PUMP HISSING]
Crys, you made the best
decision you could.
This patient's gonna die.
And it's my fault.
- Crys
- I told you to fly west.
This thing says we're going north.
[WHEEZER] Yeah, just until we
get out of controlled airspace.
It's safer where no one can see us.
Then we'll head west.
[JAY] Kurt Kurt
[KURT] Dad. Hey, hold on. I'm coming.
[MONITOR ALARM SOUNDING]
He doesn't have very long.
Yes, he does. Fix him!
I can't.
I didn't realize
there was a bleed in his leg.
He's lost too much blood,
and we don't have what we need
up here to help him.
You said that she was a doctor.
You said that she could help him!
But she didn't help him,
she made him worse.
She killed him!
[JAY] Kurt
Go up front. I can't look at you.
Hey.

I never wanted you to be like me.
Shh, shh. Hey, hey, don't talk.
It's okay. It's okay.
I thought I could change.
I thought I could be different.
Hey, we're in this together. Right?
It's Butch and Sundance, right? Okay.
You can be different.
Don't make my mistakes.
Don't let your anger
make you like me.
Dad, don't leave me.
Don't you leave me. Hey!
Don't you Hey.
[MONITOR FLATLINES] Please, Dad
Dad, don't you leave me.
Please, please,
don't leave me. Dad, please!
Dad! Hey, Dad! Dad!
[HAYLEY] Kurt.
He's gone. It's over now.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
[KURT] No.
No. You
You did this on purpose.
You knew that he was going
to bleed out from his leg,
and you wanted him to die!
Hey, I wanted to save him.
I've been trying to get you
to help me save him all night!
- [HAYLEY GASPING]
- You took someone I love.
[CRYSTAL] Hayley!
Now I'm gonna take someone you love.

Hey! Okay, Wheezer! Wheezer!
Wheezer! Wheezer!
[RAPID BREATHING]
I have control.
Hey.
You have two broken ribs.
Your gunshot wound looks good, though.
Dr. Beckett says you just
need to rest and time to heal.
Has anyone looked at these?
[PAINED EXHALE]
Might be faster to look
at places that don't hurt.
The Northern Police
just arrested Kurt.
You gave him some good bruises,
too, but he's gonna be okay.
[SOFT EMOTIONAL MUSIC]
That was scary.
That was terrifying.
I thought he was gonna hurt you.
Hayley, if you want to get married
No, no. It's okay. Just rest.
You have been through
a lot tonight. We both have.
Will you marry me?
Wheezer, not like this.
When I thought he was gonna hurt you,
when he tried to hurt you
I can't
- I can't lose you, Hayley.
- It's okay.
I'm here. We're both okay.
I don't want to make
the same mistakes, Hayley.
[SOBS]
[VOICEMAIL] It's Frieda,

- Hey, Frieda,
I have some bad news.
I can't run Jeremy's clinic.
Um
I'm sorry, I don't want
to let anyone down. I just
I can't be the one making
life-or-death decisions
for patients. I just I can't.

Hey, hey, hot doctor.
Just dropped a nice

if things are lit when you get there.

her, I would've told you.
[HAYLEY] Wheezer,
you used to be engaged.
So, you meant Zay. What do you think?
He's cool. Cute, not my type, but
[WHEEZER] Jeremy Wood Clinic?
Oh, that is great, Cryssy.
Jer would be so proud.
And maybe I didn't want you
to be impressed
by who my family is, Crystal.
Maybe I hoped you'd just
be impressed by me.
I'm not used to sharing
this job with somebody,
especially someone I'm dating.
But Hayley,
I wouldn't be dating you
if I didn't respect
how smart and capable you are.
Because I do believe in you always.
You are the person that
I believe in the most.
[EASY JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS]
Wheezer, I got your text.
Just in time. Stef went to a movie.
The kids are all out on calls.
So, surprise! Hope you're hungry.
Oh, my God. You made Brussels sprouts?
- You hate Brussels sprouts.
- Yeah, but you love them.
You look very pretty, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
Do you want to open
the sparkling apple juice?
Wow, we're going sparkling?
Yeah, well,
I wanted tonight to be special.
You're the most important person
in my life, Hayley.
We've been dating for a while now,
and I think, I mean, I hope
we're both in this
for the long haul, so
Oh.
[CORK POPS]
[WHEEZER SIGHS]
Oh, my God, Wheezer!
Can you hold this while I get a cloth?
[LAUGHS]
- Oh Oh, my God.
- What?
I'm sorry, I-I thought
you were proposing.
- What?
- I know, but I mean,
the flowers and this, and I
Come on, you never light candles.
Wow, I, I screwed up
this romantic apology dinner
almost as much as I screwed up
being bosses with you, huh?
Oh, that's why you made
Brussels sprouts.
Wheezer, it's not all you.
I really want to do a good job,
and I put way too much
pressure on things.
No, no, no, you were right,
and I want you to know that
I'm sorry. I do not
take you for granted,
and you are the best chief nurse
that I have ever worked with,
and my favorite person.
Well, I'm also sorry.
And you are the best chief pilot
I've ever worked with, too.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Oh, my God. Of course.
Of course this wasn't a proposal.
No, I get it. I totally get it.
No, but I know you, Wheezer,
and I know this, you know,
you wouldn't,
you wouldn't propose like this.
Uh, no, because I don't think
I want to get married again
It's way too soon.
Oh my God. Yeah, no, of course.
I mean, we've never,
we've never talked about it, and I
- I shouldn't have assumed.
- No, but it's not you.
It's just that marriage
has never really worked out
in my life. You know,
my dad left my mom,
and then my engagement to Riley ended,
and my actual marriage to Lynn ended.
Yeah. No, it's it's okay.
You don't have to explain it.
No, I don't want
to mess things up, okay?
I just, I think that things are,
are going great, aren't they?
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I think that we are great.
- We're great. Things are great.
- Yes.
- Everything's fine, okay.
- Great.
Let's eat. This looks amazing.

[CRYSTAL] Hey, Frieda,
how did the clinic proposal go?
[FRIEDA] Crystal, we got funding.
- What?
- I know we thought
we'd have to wait until spring,
but I just found out
they're approving our proposal now.
Uh, Frieda, that's fantastic.
It means we can open this winter.
That's so soon.
I know!
I've got a million things to do.
Oh, you do too. Call me tomorrow, Cuz.
We'll talk it through. Hiy-hiy!
Hiy uh, yeah, bye.
Is that Mrs. Kiezebrink's chart?
Yeah, it's, it's her chart
and her applesauce.
- Oh.
- She didn't want it,
and I haven't eaten today, so
Did you see those GSWs that came in?
- Hmm?
- They were two prison guards.
Two convicts escaped.
They're still on the loose.
- Oh, my God. Oh!
- [SCREECHING ALARM]
Whoa! Uh
It's Mr. Radek.
He keeps pulling off his leads.
Got it.
Ugh
- Whoa.
- Ooh! Damn it.
I thought you were an escaped convict.
This is applesauce, not barf.
Oh, no, don't worry.
I won't tell anyone
about your kinky snack fetish.
If you don't tell anyone
I'm borrowing their gauze and saline
to restock my flight bag.
May want to check on
the post-op patient in room 114,
by the way. History of COPD
and corticosteroids.
He's a prime candidate for sepsis.
Already started him on antibiotics.
Nice. Did you want
to differential on room 127?
I have an interesting thought.
Zay, you don't have to try so hard
to impress me. No one here cares
who your family are.
I don't even know why it matters
to you to impress me.
Honestly, it matters
'cause I'm not really used
to having to chase girls.
Is that what this is about?
You trying to chase me?
Right now? No, no, right now,
I am trying to impress you
with my mad medical skills.
When I start chasing you
[PLASTIC CRINKLES]
you'll know.
You really think
it's gonna be that easy, huh?
No, I don't really think
anything with you is easy.
But I don't think
you'd let anyone who didn't
respect that catch you.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't
want to jump your bones.
But the sexiest thing about you
is your brain.
You're smart, you're strong,
and you're tough.
So, even though you're super hot,
what I really want
is to jump your brain.
Just say the word, Dr. Highway.
[SOFT CURIOUS MUSIC]
[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]
Shoot, could you help me
with this strap?
- Oh, sure.
- Just my tremors,
and I don't trust myself
not to drop it.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
We should be getting going soon,
but let me just check with
Captain Heaseman, okay?
Okay, okay, thank you.
What's the holdup?
We've been waiting for an hour.
Yeah, we're waiting on clearance.
The Northern Police have two
escaped convicts on the loose,
so security's tight
while they're looking.
- What?
- It sounds like they're
a couple of bank robbers,
but they shot two prison guards
during their escape.
Air ambulance is still a priority,
but probably going
to have to wait a second.
Oh, hey, you know what?
I got this for you.
What is this?
Gourmet hot chocolate?
Yeah, I saw it at the Whiskey Hatch
this morning and I thought
maybe you could use something fancy
for the stash in your flight bag.
How did you know about this?
Well, I know that you always
carry hot chocolate,
but I didn't know it's because
it reminded you of your mom
until you told that kid last week
who wouldn't buckle his seatbelt.
[CHUCKLES]
I think Mom deserves something
nice, don't you?
Thank you.
[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]
I know you should ask first,
but you and your fellow
look so perfect,
I didn't want to interrupt.
Aw. [CHUCKLING]
How did you know he was my boyfriend?
Oh, sweetie. I can
always spot the real thing.
Do you photograph a lot of couples?
Oh, no. I used to be a painter.
I was pretty good, too. Even got
one of my pieces in Rideau Hall.
But I had to give it up.
The tremors got too bad.
Photography's a little easier,
you know.
- Can I see?
- Yeah.
[ANNA] I can't drive a car
and my marriage fell apart.
Some days the tremors are so bad,
I can't even feed myself.
But art is who I am.
Parkinson's will try
to take away everything
that matters to you.
And some things you
you don't have a choice.
But some things you do.
And you have to decide
what you're willing to let go of
and what you aren't.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Do you think I can get a copy of this?
- Of course.
- Thank you.
[EXHALES]
Would you look at that?
Even with the security issues,
we're still gonna get
out of here in time
to have a night off.
Wheezer, about last night
I know, I, um
I said everything was fine
the way it is, but
I want to get married, Wheezer.
It's important to me.
And when you said that, um
you were in this
for the long haul, I
- Hayley, I am.
- But
what does that mean, Wheezer?
What does the long haul
mean to you
if it doesn't mean marriage?
It means
the long haul together,
the two of us, partners.
I don't want to be
with anybody else, Hayley.
I want to be with you.
But I want to be with you
the way that we are.
But being committed to each other,
that doesn't have to mean marriage.
Look
I've already had to give up so much
with the BRCA1 gene.
I always saw myself getting married
and having kids and and a family.
But because of the gene,
I can't have kids, Wheezer,
and that's not my choice.
But whether or not
I get married is, and I'm
I'm not sure I can give that up.
I believe in you, Hayley.
But I do not believe in marriage.
This is too big a risk.
All my other relationships
have failed.
But that doesn't mean that ours would.
But what if it did?
Even if it was a friendly divorce
like the one I had with Lynn
I don't think I can go
through that again, Hayley.
Not with you.
I think I'm going to go
see Crystal tonight.
I still love you, Wheezer.
I still love you, too.
I think I just need
some space tonight, okay?
Yeah, okay. Whatever you need.

there's a misunderstanding.
- I'm a pilot.
- Shut up and help him.
No, you see these gold bars

That's amazing.
I'm so happy for you.
You've worked really hard for this.
You're gonna help so many people.
Hayley, are you okay?
Wheezer doesn't want to get married.
I-I didn't even know you two
were talking about marriage.
We weren't, but then we were
talking about long-term,
and I thought he was proposing,
but it was just a Brussels sprout.
[SIGHS] Look, we've had ups and downs,
but I don't just love him, Crys.
I like him a lot.
He's one of my best friends.
And I know marriage shouldn't
matter, but after my mom died,
I just, I think
I think it's really something
I need to do.
I mean, Wheezer's a good guy.
The best guy.
And he took his divorce hard.
Even though it was for the best,
I think he really blamed himself.
He's just scared.
I'm scared, too.
I mean, I don't know
if this is something
that I can give up, Crys.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Uh, hold pressure.
They always hold pressure.
[SHARP EXHALE]
That's it? That's all you're doing?
I don't know, man. The medics, they,
they usually start an IV and stuff.
So, do it. Give him what he needs.
I don't even know
if that's what he needs,
and I don't see any of those
big bags of fluid
- in here anyway.
- Just do it!
Okay, okay. I will figure it out.
Kurt, give him space. Let him work.
- [KURT] You okay, Dad?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
Watch him.

Did they make it?
I don't know, we're air ambulance.
They would have got picked up

I had everything under control.
It was all going so smooth.
Until it wasn't.
That's not how I operate. But, Kurt

I'm Jay, by the way.
You know, people call me Wheezer.
Jesus. You lose a bet?
I'm a pilot.
Call signs come with the territory.
Kurt and me, we're all we have.
So, we got to take care of each other.
He takes care of getting us in shit,
and I take care of getting us out.
[GASPS]
That sounds like a raw deal for you.
Yeah.
But I owe him that.
[STRAINED BREATHING]
I left his mother when he was a kid.
And Kurt, he didn't have it easy.
But my dad left
when I was a kid, so I know
it screws you up.
Yeah, my dad left when I was 12.
But I didn't turn into a bank robber,
and I never hurt anyone.
Look, I don't know how
this shit works.
And I-I think I'm supposed
to put it in a vein,
but I'm not exactly sure
how to find one,
and I don't want to hurt you, so
I don't know, maybe, maybe
it's this thing here?
[KURT GRUNTS]
[THUDDING BLOW]
Are you stupid?
I told you not to try anything.
[JAY] I don't think
he was lying, Kurt.
I don't think he's a medic.
Check his pocket. I saw ID in there.
Shit. Shit.
Look, I can still
help your dad. I can
I can take him
to the hospital for you.
No, no, they'll arrest him.
He can't go back to jail.
Look, he's hurt.
He needs help. I am not a medic.
I cannot give him what he needs, man.
Then I'll kidnap someone who can.
Don't bring anyone else into this.
Please, I'll-let me just
take him to the hospital.
Even if he ends up in jail,
at least he'll be alive.
No.
I appreciate you wanting to help,
but I can't go back to jail.
There's a SkyMed contact list.
There's a bunch of nurses in here,
Crystal, Stef, Hayley.
There's even an address
for a crew house.
I'll go get one of them.
[WHEEZER] No! No, no, no.
The police, they've been
looking for you everywhere.
There's no way that you're
going to make it there and back.
- He's right, Kurt.
- I know someone that can help.
But I won't let you
go to the crew house,
and I will not let you bring her here.
But if you let me use my phone,
I-I can call her,
and she can talk me through
everything that your dad needs.
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDING]
Don't take any stupid risks.
And if you and your friends
try anything
Crys, you're really gonna be
running a whole clinic.
Yeah.
I just hope I'm ready.
I've always had nurses and doctors
and entire hospitals backing me up,
and now it's just gonna be me
by myself.
And the community's trusting me
to know what I'm doing,
and they're trusting me
to make these really big
decisions for them.
[PHONE RINGING]
[CALL BEEPS ON]
- [CRYSTAL] Hello?
- Crystal?
[KURT] Tell her not to call
anyone. Tell her no cops.
Wheezer, are you okay?
[WHEEZER] Hayley, I'm in trouble.
What do you know about gunshot wounds?
There's two bullet holes.
There's one in his chest
and there's one in his leg.
[CRYSTAL] Okay, are those
the only injuries you see?
I don't know. There's a lot of blood.
I can't see. Can you,
can you give me some light?
[CRYSTAL] Okay, uh,
the one in his chest,
is it bubbling? Is there air
coming out when he breathes?
- No.
- Okay, the wound in his leg,
where is it? Thigh? Calf?
It's by his knee.
[CRYSTAL] Okay, the wound in his chest
is the bigger issue. You need to put
hemostatic gauze
in the leg wound for now.
Wheezer, the hemostatic gauze
is in the flight bag.
Just push it in with your finger
like you're pushing it into a straw.
I'm so sorry, man.
[JAY GROANS]
[JAY SHOUTS]
[KURT] You're hurting him.
I could take him to a hospital.
They have pain meds there.
No, I'll deal with it.
[HAYLEY] We need to hook him up
to a monitor
so we can assess his vitals.
Put the white lead
on his right shoulder.
The red goes on his left hip.
Could you, can you help me with that?
[HAYLEY] The black
on his left shoulder,
and the green on his right hip
below the white.
[WHEEZER] Got it.
White, white.
White on his right shoulder,
yeah. Now the red.
Now what?
Turn it on, check his vitals.
[MONITOR BEEPS]
Okay, the numbers are flashing.
It says 130 and then 90 over 50.
They're going down.
Shit. His BP's low.
He's lost a lot of blood.
He needs fluids.
Wheezer doesn't have any.
The saline's in my bag.
[WHEEZER] Uh, I got one here.
It's small.
It looks like it's maybe
100 milliliters.
I don't think that's gonna be enough.
[HAYLEY] No, it's not.
Wait, we use those small bags
to dilute the medications in.
- [MONITOR ALARM SOUNDING]
- Help him! Help him!
We could do a direct transfusion?
Crystal, no. Nobody does that.
That's not safe.
The blood isn't screened.
Well, if you had a gun to your head
[HEAVY SIGH]
Wheezer, does the patient
know his blood type
- or maybe his son's?
- I don't know.
No, is that a problem?
Wheezer, your blood type
is an O-negative.
You're the universal donor.
And according to your last
pilot medical,
you don't have any
blood-borne diseases, right?
I I sure hope not.
Okay, we're going
to give him your blood.
- What?
- What?
The patient is bleeding out. Okay?
This isn't any harder
than starting an IV.
I'll walk you through it.
You need an 18-gauge needle.
Okay, and you need two sterile
IV ports.
They look like these little IV lines
with a cap on the end,
and a tourniquet.
Okay.
You need to put it around the bicep,
above the elbow,
and make sure it's tight enough
until you see a vein.
Yeah, I think I can see a vein.
Now swab it with alcohol
and stick the needle in.
Wait, is that it? I just
I just stick it in?
Yeah, that's
that's more or less it.
Just enter the vein and slide
the plastic catheter off.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[TAPE RIPS]
It's in. What's next?
Uncap the port.
Attach the line
from the small saline bag.
Can you hold that?
[CRYSTAL] And make sure
the line is open.
You see the little roller thing?
Yeah, yeah, I got it. It's going.
Now you need to start
an IV line in your own vein.
Same as what you did with
the patient. It's super easy.
Hey, Cryssy, I need you to know
that nothing about this is super easy.
[WHEEZER GROANS]
[WHEEZER] Okay, it's in.
How does the saline bag look?
- [WHEEZER] It's empty.
- [CRYSTAL] Good.
Now you're going to detach it
from the patient
and attach it to your own port.
All right.
Do you see blood? Is it flowing?
Yeah, I got it. The bag's filling.
[CRYSTAL] Now put it somewhere low,
somewhere on the ground
or something for it to fill up.
And once it's filled up,
you're going to detach it,
cap your port,
and connect it to the patient.
- Oh, just that easy, huh?
- [CRYSTAL] Yes, and if you can,
keep the blood bag moving
so it doesn't coagulate.
Oh, okay, that is
ugh, that is very warm.
So that's it? I just give this
to him and then we're done?
Uh not exactly.
A full blood transfusion
is 350 milliliters. That was only 100.
You're gonna have
to do it a few more times.
Crystal told me I have
to keep taking your temperature
while we're doing this,
in case you have a reaction.
[JAY WINCES]
[JAY] Well, what's it say?
Are the bullets going to kill me
or will it be your blood?
Hopefully, neither.
Your son
he's got a vicious left hook.
He's just like my old man.
[TENSE UNDULATING MUSIC]
How old was he when you left?
Eight or nine.
Tracked me down a couple of years ago.
I could see he started
down a bad road,
getting in trouble.
I thought maybe I could
straighten him out.
Maybe help him avoid
the mistakes I made.
He'd be better than me.
So, why'd you do it?
Why did you leave?
[SCOFFS]
I could say I left my family
because I thought they'd be
better off without me.
That'd be a lie.
I felt trapped.
I felt pressured
to be somebody different.
I felt just as trapped there
as I did in prison.
So, why get married
and then have a kid?
Why ruin two other people's lives?
[CHUCKLES]
It's just like robbing banks, son.
No one would do it if they
thought they'd get caught.
You only do it
if you convince yourself
this time you'll get away with it.
This time will be different.
But I'm still me.
I'm still my father's kid.
We always make the same mistakes.
[CHUCKLES]
Or maybe that's just a shitty excuse
to do whatever you want
and screw everyone else,
like your kid over there.
So, you're not a bank robber.
But I bet you're still
pissed at your dad. Even now.
I'd bet you'd make all kinds
of choices you wouldn't have
if he didn't leave you.
You make 'em so you can say
you're not like your old man.
I am not.
Sure.
But your dad's leaving,
the anger he left you with,
that made you.
And the more you fight it,
the more that anger will have
you acting just like him.
I got divorced,
and I did not leave my son.
I am a good father.
I take care of my family.
I am not my dad. You understand?
[STRAINED BREATHING]
Yeah. Kurt's not me either.
He's worse.
Hey. What are you doing
with that light?
He's just giving me blood, Kurt.
No, he's not. He's signaling.
[POUNDING KNOCKS]
You're just a blood bag for my dad.
[COCKS GUN]
If you try anything,
we will drain you,
and we will leave you dry.
You get that?
Oh, God!
Whoever it is, get rid of them.
Captain Heaseman?
This hangar's supposed to be empty.
Oh, I'm sorry, Danny. Um
Bert's got a plane for sale in here.
Just checking it out
for a friend of mine
who's interested.
You know, kicking the tires.
You okay? You-you have an accident?
Oh yeah, look at that.
It looks like I'm doing
surgery in here.
Um, no, it's oil.
As long as you're okay.
You hear about those escaped convicts?
- Oh, yeah.
- Gotta keep a close eye out.
Um do you know Marti?
Because Marti was the one
that was supposed to come
take a look at the plane,
but he didn't show.
- Who?
- Oh, right.
Marti only works at SkyMed.
[GUN RATTLES]
Hey, what's that? Oh, my bad.
Hey, uh sorry, man.
Marti, he must have come in
through the other door.
- I didn't hear him, but
- Okay.
Stay safe, Chief Pilot Heaseman.
Yeah, you too, Danny.
Have a good night.
[KURT GRUNTS]
[KURT] Clever, prick.
You brought him here!
[GRUNTS]
You've been taking stupid risks
all night,
and it's gonna get you killed!
[WHEEZER GASPING]
We don't need you anymore.
He's got enough blood.
We'll get someone else.
Someone who can actually help him.
[JAY] Kurt wait.
Didn't you hear that, Kurt?
He's not just any pilot.
He's chief pilot.
He can take any plane,
any time he wants.
[GASPING]
No one's gonna question him.
He can get us out of here, Kurt.
[ANGRY GRUNTS]
Get him ready to fly.
Look, Jay I can't fly you anywhere.
The minute we were in the air,
it's not just my life,
it's everyone on the ground too.
I know. But I just didn't
want him killing you.
He's right, though,
no more dumb risks.
Jay. Jay?
[ALARM BEEPING]
Jay! Jay!
[WHEEZER] All his numbers went
down, except for his pulse,
- that went up.
- Okay, you have
the oxygen tank. Do you have a mask?
Yeah, I got the tube with the prongs.
Nasal cannula.
Okay, put that in his nostrils
and turn on the oxygen.
Okay, I got it.
Tachycardic, short of breath.
I mean those symptoms,
GSW, nine times out of ten,
it's a hemopneumothorax.
He needs a chest tube to drain fluid.
I have the OB kit, Crys.
Wheezer doesn't even have a scalpel.
Wheezer, you got needles, right?
Check the kit. There should be
a 14-gauge needle.
It's the biggest we carry.
We're going to keep this
super simple, okay?
Find the patient's nipple.
Draw a straight line
down with your finger.
Do the same thing
from the armpit.
Find where those lines meet.
- All right, I got it.
- Okay, now feel for the ribs.
- [WHEEZER] Yes.
- And you're going to stick
the needle between the ribs.
[NERVOUS BREATHING]
[SQUELCHING]
- [JAY GROANS]
- Okay, okay, I'm in.
Okay, good. Now hold it steady.
You need to remove the barrel.
That's the two-part
that retracts for safety.
The metal needle is going to
come with it.
It leaves the hub
in the patient's chest.
- Okay, now what?
- Now fluids can drain
from the hub, but you'll need to
to make a valve or a flap
to stop the fluids
from getting sucked back in.
It used to be an old trick
to rig chest tubes with a condom.
- [CHUCKLES]
- I love your faith in me,
Cryssy, but I don't carry those
when I'm flying,
and these boys just got out of prison.
You can use a glove.
Put the finger over the hub
and tape it into place.
[WHEEZER] Okay.
[TAPE CRINKLES]
[HAYLEY] Just make sure you
cut the end of the finger off
so the air can escape.
[WHEEZER] I can feel air.
That's good, right?
Yes, but just make sure
you put something underneath it
for the fluids to drain into.
There's no fluid, Crystal.
There's nothing coming out.
What? Are you in the right place?
- Did you go between the ribs?
- Yes, yes, yes,
where the nipple line
and the armpit meets. Yes.
What do we do?
[CRYSTAL] If you're
in the right place,
we just have to wait.
[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS AND PEAKS]
[JAY] Tell me something good.
[GASPING]
You got a girl? Someone special?
Oh, come on, kid.
Don't hold out on me.
Yeah, I do have someone.
She's smart. She's funny.
She takes care of everyone.
She's been through a lot.
Most people, if they'd faced
what she's been through,
they'd be bitter or angry, but
it just makes her stronger.
It makes her better.
She makes me want to be better, too.
Sounds like a keeper.
Yeah.
Well, she wants to get married.
Uh-oh. You're gonna take that risk?
It was hard when my dad left,
but I survived.
My first engagement ended,
I survived that too.
Getting divorced was, um
I was worried about me,
I was worried about her,
and I was just so worried
about making sure
that my kid was okay, but
somehow, I survived that too.
But this girl
I don't think
I could survive losing her.
[DEEP GASP]
Look, man,
I don't think this is working.
I think we need to take you
to the hospital.
No, I won't go back to prison.
It's my fault, Dad.
It's my fault we went to prison.
[STRAINED BREATHING]
I shot the bank guards.
I shot the prison guards today, too.
He isn't like me.
He couldn't handle it in there.
I knew if we stayed in there
much longer, he'd yeah.
Look, I get it, man.
I get it. My dad left me, too.
I know how angry that makes you,
but you still just want
your dad to love you,
and you still want him
to have wanted you.
You still just want your dad.
[CRIES] Right? Yeah.
[WHEEZER CHUCKLES]
You've been telling me
all night not to take stupid risks,
and you know what the funny thing is?
I am not that guy, man.
I do not take risks.
But I am scared right now.
I am scared for me,
and I am scared for the people
that I care about.
And I know that you are scared
of losing your dad again.
But don't take a dumb risk, man.
He needs help.
We can make different choices.
We can be different.
How can I know that your friends
won't just call the cops?
How can I know they won't just
send him back to prison?
You keep me, okay?
You hold on to me
until you know that he's okay
and that they have let him go.
Please, man, you gotta save him.
Please.
I'd rather you let me die
than go back to prison.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
I'm sorry. I can't lose you again.
[WHEEZING]
Hey, listen. There's cargo vans
at the Skymed hangar. I can get one
- to take your dad to TCH.
- [KURT] No.
You don't go out of my sight.
[PHONE RINGING TONE]
[CRYSTAL] Wheezer,
is the patient okay?
Bring an ambulance to the airport.
You tell anyone what you're doing
or where you're going
I'll shoot your friend.
- Crystal, no, don't come.
- [KURT] Call for instructions
when you get here.
[CALL BEEPS OFF]
[POUNDING KNOCK]
[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]
You shouldn't have come.
- Wheezer, we had to.
- Get in. Move!
No! No, no, no, they stay out there.
- We send your dad out.
- [OMINOUS BEAT]
I have the gun.
I'll make the rules. Get in. Now.
Let's move!
Put your bags on the ground.
Over there! Over there! Now!
Give me your phones.
- Back up!
- Kurt, Kurt, Kurt,
they're not gonna
try anything, man, okay?
They're not gonna try anything.
Just let them take your dad.
Shut up!
Nobody is going to a hospital.
We're all gonna get
on a plane together.
And you are gonna take us
over the border.
And the two of you
are gonna keep my dad alive.
Get him ready to go. Move!
[GUNSHOT CRACKS, SCREAMING]
[WRENCH CLANGS TO GROUND]
- [WHEEZER GRUNTING]
- Wheezer!
I can't let you hurt my son.
I can't go back to prison.
I told you,
we always make the same mistakes.
[GASPING]
I want to be ready to go in an hour.
No, no, I won't let you
get on a plane.
I'm not gonna let you
endanger people on the ground.
Fine. Your call.
I have two medics.
I don't need both of you.
You're the doctor, right?
- I don't need a nurse, too.
- [COCKS GUN]
- [HAYLEY SHRIEKS]
- No! No, no, I'll do it,
I'll do it, I'll do it.
I'll take you wherever you want to go.
[WHEEZER WINCES]
We can't take off, Wheezer.
We have to keep these guys
on the ground.
You and Crystal shouldn't be here.
We'd rather be with you
than not be able
to do anything to help.
Listen to me,
I have a loaded syringe
of propofol in my flight bag
if I can get to it.
No! Look, this guy is dangerous.
What if he makes us take off?
Well, then I'll fly us to Bear River.
It's an abandoned strip,
and we don't have to fly over
any populated areas
to get there. Please, Hayley.
Please don't do anything risky.
I can't lose you.
[PHONE CHIMES]
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]
[TENSE MUSIC]
I'll start prepping the chest tube.
Hayley, I don't think
he has a hemopneumothorax.
Listen, his chest sounds clear.
What?
[JAY GROANING SOFTLY]
But he's tachycardic,
and his BP keeps dropping,
so he's bleeding out somewhere.
The entry wound looks angled.
It couldn't have hit his lungs.
I don't think it even
penetrated his rib cage.
- So, where did it go?
- Can you help me lift him?
[JAY GROANS]
Must have skittered along
his ribs under the skin.
So, why is he bleeding out?
The other gunshot wound.
Wheezer said he was on
his leg by his knee.
It's on his thigh, not his knee.
What's wrong with him?
Why is his leg so big?
The bullet nicked his femur.
He's bleeding out.
- From a broken leg?
- A broken femur can bleed out
without the patient ever losing
a single drop of blood
externally. He's bleeding out
into his leg.
We need to get him
to a hospital right now.
But you have those bags of water.
You said that's what he needed!
[CRYSTAL] No, he needs surgery.
We can't do anything
- for him on this plane.
- Kurt,
your dad is really sick, man.
Let the medics take him. Let them go.
No! I promised him
he's not going back to jail. Move!
Take off now. [GROANS]
I want to go west towards
Saskatchewan.
- And then we'll cross the border.
- Okay.
Now.
[PLANE ROARS]
How did I miss this?
Why didn't I get Wheezer
to check his leg better?
Crystal, don't do that.
You couldn't see the patient.
GSW to the chest.
I expected to see a hemopneumothorax,
so that's what I saw.
I made a decision to give
the patient a chest tube,
which he didn't need.
I made the wrong decision.
[MONITOR ALARM SOUNDING]
[SILENCES ALARM]
[PUMP HISSING]
Crys, you made the best
decision you could.
This patient's gonna die.
And it's my fault.
- Crys
- I told you to fly west.
This thing says we're going north.
[WHEEZER] Yeah, just until we
get out of controlled airspace.
It's safer where no one can see us.
Then we'll head west.
[JAY] Kurt Kurt
[KURT] Dad. Hey, hold on. I'm coming.
[MONITOR ALARM SOUNDING]
He doesn't have very long.
Yes, he does. Fix him!
I can't.
I didn't realize
there was a bleed in his leg.
He's lost too much blood,
and we don't have what we need
up here to help him.
You said that she was a doctor.
You said that she could help him!
But she didn't help him,
she made him worse.
She killed him!
[JAY] Kurt
Go up front. I can't look at you.
Hey.
[POIGNANT MUSIC]
[GASPING]
I never wanted you to be like me.
Shh, shh. Hey, hey, don't talk.
It's okay. It's okay.
I thought I could change.
I thought I could be different.
Hey, we're in this together. Right?
It's Butch and Sundance, right? Okay.
You can be different.
Don't make my mistakes.
Don't let your anger
make you like me.
Dad, don't leave me.
Don't you leave me. Hey!
Don't you Hey.
[MONITOR FLATLINES] Please, Dad
Dad, don't you leave me.
Please, please,
don't leave me. Dad, please!
Dad! Hey, Dad! Dad!
[HAYLEY] Kurt.
He's gone. It's over now.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
[KURT] No.
No. You
You did this on purpose.
You knew that he was going
to bleed out from his leg,
and you wanted him to die!
Hey, I wanted to save him.
I've been trying to get you
to help me save him all night!
- [HAYLEY GASPING]
- You took someone I love.
[CRYSTAL] Hayley!
Now I'm gonna take someone you love.
[ENGINE HUMMING LOUDLY]
Ah!
Hayley, hot chocolate!

Hey! Okay, Wheezer! Wheezer!
Wheezer! Wheezer!
[RAPID BREATHING]
I have control.
Hey.
You have two broken ribs.
Your gunshot wound looks good, though.
Dr. Beckett says you just
need to rest and time to heal.
Has anyone looked at these?
[PAINED EXHALE]
Might be faster to look
at places that don't hurt.
The Northern Police
just arrested Kurt.
You gave him some good bruises,
too, but he's gonna be okay.
[SOFT EMOTIONAL MUSIC]
That was scary.
That was terrifying.
I thought he was gonna hurt you.
Hayley, if you want to get married
No, no. It's okay. Just rest.
You have been through
a lot tonight. We both have.
Will you marry me?
Wheezer, not like this.
When I thought he was gonna hurt you,
when he tried to hurt you
I can't
- I can't lose you, Hayley.
- It's okay.
I'm here. We're both okay.
I don't want to make
the same mistakes, Hayley.
[SOBS]
[VOICEMAIL] It's Frieda,
leave a message.
- [BEEP]
- Hey, Frieda,
I have some bad news.
I can't run Jeremy's clinic.
Um
I'm sorry, I don't want
to let anyone down. I just
I can't be the one making
life-or-death decisions
for patients. I just I can't.
[CALL BEEPS OFF]
Hey, hey, hot doctor.
