Es un Milagro

Previously on "Off the map" Felicia Moran.
How long has your eye been swollen like that? It's just a stupid mosquito bite.
They carry a parasite that causes Chagas disease.
I got bit when I was 8.
It was this disease? It treated.
You could die from this.
No one needs to know, especially not Keeton.
We've got a case of acute appendicitis here.
Ow! You have to fix him.
We'll do our best.
You fixed me.
You have to fix him.
He needs intravenous narcotics.
You want to buy Heroin.
I don't want you anywhere near that crap.
I can handle it! I've been clean for nine months now! Yeah, and the time before that, you were clean a year.
What was his name the kid you misdiagnosed back in the states? Eric.
Espere! Wait! Room for a few more? Si.
Come on board.
Lo siento, Doctora.
We're overloaded as it is.

Send fire, rescue, and body bags.
We do not know what we're gonna find.
Where the hell is Brenner? So what's next? You wanna go get a drink? Si.
Esta bien, pero We probably shouldn't be seen together, for your safety.
I don't want the Policia to have any way to connect us.
I've caused you enough trouble already.
I'm dating Batman.
This is Hey, I'm not the one with the Batphone.
Yeah, they just gave us these things, And I keep on losing it.
Que pasa? Just our luck, bird had to go down In the middle of the damn jungle.
You okay? Yeah, pulled bodies from choppers before.
I just I know what I'm getting into.
You also just saw your dealer a few hours ago.
So? So that must've been pretty stressful.
Oh, come on, man.
And since your go-to stress move Used to be sticking a needle in your arm all right.
What are you asking me? I'm asking if you're using.
Oh, my God! There it is! Let's move! it's gonna be okay.
How do you know that? 'Cause I put two little girls into that twisted piece of metal.
It has to be.
Cole, check around the other side For an access point.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You stay in here.
No, I can help.
You're just a kid, okay? This is way too dangerous.

Ohh.
Chuta madre! Hey, where does it hurt? Ohh.
My wrist.
Ow! Ow! Guillermo he hasn't said a word.

Hey, Guillermo, you hear me? Mendez? Yeah.
I can hear you, Keeton, loud and clear.
I'm okay.
I'm just stuck.
Must be my seat belt.
Oh, that ain't your seat belt, amigo.
It doesn't even hurt.
Well, you're full of adrenaline.
It will.
Can you pull it out? Not until we're in an OR.
Okay, we're gonna have to get creative with this.
Hey, hey.
There's gas leaking from the engine.
Must've torn a fuel line on the way down.
Well, there's fireworks then.
That doesn't give us much time.
Go.
Leave me here.
That's not gonna happen, Mendez.
The chopper went down on my watch.
I don't need three dead doctors on my conscience, too.
Vete de aqui! Déjame! Go! Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Mendez.
Easy, Mendez.
Go! Fuera! Sit down, Lynn.
Don't worry about me.
I'm fine.
You had a 200-pound gurney fall on your ass, lady.
Yeah, and you have my husband's guts in your hands, so shut it, Minard.
What he you been doing? You must be Mateo.
Hola.
Hola.
Is anyone still inside? Keeton, Fuller, and Cole.
They're getting out the pilot.
Why? B.
P.
Is 130/75.
I'll need that second liter.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Come on.
Uno, dos, tres.
It's pretty exciting, what you do.
This is nothing.
Catch me on day when I'm treating tourists with swimmer's ear.
Um, I should Right.
You turn into a pumpkin at the sound of police sirens.
Okay, vamonos.
Back to the clinic.
any sign of her? No, she's not in the vicinity.
They're sending out a search party To go deeper into the brush.
I'll see you back at the clinic.
I'm gonna go find your hermana.
Look after her.
Be careful, amiga.
Hey, they went down over 5 miles of jungle.
She could be anywhere.
She wasn't wearing a helmet, clark.
I'm not coming back without her.
Listen, I know I didn't get a chance to respond When you said you were ready.
I'm glad you didn't blow up.
yeah, I'm pretty happy about that myself.
Okay, well We'll talk later then.
I mean, we've got all the time in the world, right? So, uh, hiking through dense, wet jungle When you're sick that's a great idea.
That little girl is sick, too.
She's all alone out there.
What's wrong with your hand? You know, I'm just coming down from all the excitement, and you don't need any more.
Something's not right.
No, he's stable.
They just have to wash out his abdomen.
Dr.
Minard he's fine.
He's gonna be fine.
He's awake.
Do you want to see him? Come on.
I-I I can't I can't I can't feel my legs.
Felicia! We've combed a 5-mile circle.
There's no sign of her.
We should take a break.
I'm gonna keep going.
Why don't you come with me, And I'll put some ointment on your stitches? No! You people will not take them anywhere ever again, even the next room.
Vale.
I'll bring the ointment in here then.
Anything? Maybe it's just asleep.
Julio out of surgery yet? Nope.
Not yet.
Soon.
Now? Looks like a spinal cord injury.
But I was fine.
I was walking.
Yeah.
The cord was slowly compressed.
That's why you didn't feel it at first.
We're gonna have to operate to fix it.
I think I know you well enough by now To know there's a "But" Coming.
Advanced neurosurgery isn't exactly something That we specialize in here.
Well, hell if I'm getting back in a medevac, If that's what you're saying.
Even if we could get one, It wouldn't get you out of here in time.
Fillet me like a fish.
I trust you, Minard.
okay.
don't.
Saw your friend at the crash site.
Nice of him to give you a ride.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
It won't happen again.
Okay.
Sterile dressing and then move him out.
OR.
's gonna be a popular place today.
Yeah.
Whoa.
What happened to you? Uh, when the helicopter exploded, things went flying, And I got burned, but it's no big deal.
I told you to stay in the truck.
That was so awesome.
You guys came running out of the flames like in "Chips," When the building went pow! And Ponch was all like, "Don't die on me, man.
" Okay, okay, stop.
It wasn't like "Chips.
" Try "Die Hard.
" That never came out here.
"Chips" is on tv all the time.
Can't believe you didn't listen to me.
I knew you needed me, hermano.
No, I didn't need you, all right? You're not a doctor.
You're a little kid.
I only let you hang around me because I'm being nice, but one of these days you're gonna get seriously hurt, and that's gonna be on me.
You shouldn't be here all the me.
Okay? You should be at home.
But I work here.
- No.
Hey.
Excuse me, nurse.
- Si? Will you please dress his wound, put him in a cab, and make sure he gets home? Home.
No free fluids.
Looks like it didn't hit any major organs.
All righty.
Let's get you out of this throne.
Seat's holding the blade steady.
I say we leave it.
What, you want to take the whole thing into surgery? No.
No surgery yet.
I want to hold off.
Hold off? I'm stable, no? I'm not in much pain.
If that missing girl out there comes in and needs attention We don't know when that little girl's gonna show up.
Or if.
Yeah, the OR.
's open now.
We should really take advantage of that.
I said, I want to hold off.
he's as stubborn as they come.
I logged 20 years in the military with the Tonto.
I should know.
Santiago earthquake in '92 We dropped in on a school.
It was horroroso.
Didn't know which limb belonged to what child, And Guillermo he doesn't shed one tear.
He just does his job.
See, nothing stops him.
Nothing fazes him.
Ay, ca¡llate ya! Ca¡llate tu, huh? You see what I have to deal with? Mira, if the man wants to wait Until that little girl's accounted for, He's the pilot.
The rest of us are just along for the ride.
Besides, if, um if you want the chair off his ass, it's gonna take a couple of hours anyway.
Copy that, cap'n.
Muchas gracias.
Oh.
Cole.
My patient needs spinal surgery immediately.
Afternoon, Minard.
How are you? If we don't decompress in the next few hours, She's gonna be paralyzed.
So says this book I found in Keeton's office.
you're gonna perform a delicate spinal procedure From a book? No.
You are.
Come on.
You were a Navy doc.
Yeah.
I'm sure you saw tons of spinal injuries in the field.
That was a long time ago.
She may never walk again.
All right.
Prep her.
Please give me the foresight to find this little girl, And if I can't, if she's gone Okay.
You know what? I better find this girl, And I better sure as hell find her alive, Because you owe me big-time.
It's not enough to hand do the surprise death sentence, But Keeton? what, now he's ready? What kind of cruel, horrible timing All due respect, There better be some kind of master plan at work here, Because if not, you got a real sick sense of Humor.
who are you talking to? Never mind.
We're good.
Have we found Adson Bayonets? - No.
- How about Kerrison Rongeur? - No.
- Any kind of Rongeur? Nope, but we are good on forceps.
Yes, but I am not birthing babies, am I? I'm doing spinal surgery for the first time ever, and I need the right instruments.
Where's Charlie? He could be helping right now.
I sent him home, where he belongs.
Were you mean to him? No.
No.
I don't have time to watch a kid running around in the jungle, okay? I'm not a babysitter.
I didn't sign up for that.
Yes, he was mean to him.
You know how hard it is to practice medicine with a kid stuck to you like velcro 24/7? Well, maybe you're all he has, you know? Minard, they're moving Lynn into surgery.
You've got 20.
Fuller, while you're there, look for a sharp, thin blade, Will ya? I need you to remove the upholstery - on the pilot's chair.
I need you to get in there.
- Sweet.
Oh, and, Brenner, someone returned that to the front desk.
You wanna try holding on to it this time? Yeah.
Oh.
"Thought you might need this.
Batman.
" It's Mateo.
That's pretty smooth.
Yeah.
He's hot.
Yeah.
He's smooth.
He's hot.
He's also a wanted criminal, which makes something as simple as organizing a second date so complicated.
Getting involved with him in the first place Was a really bad idea, so can we all just Pretend it never happened? Because I'm here now.
I'm focused.
I'm a doctor, and this is a Kerrison Rongeur, and now you can save your patient.
Thank you.
Okay.
Here we go.
Torn vertebral artery.
Blood's putting pressure on the cord.
I've seen this before in the field.
Frazier suction.
2-0 prolene.
An artery tears when the vertebrae moves.
Or when a damn gurney falls on ya.
Yes, but movement exacerbates it.
I should've caught it.
I should've immobilized her immediately.
Even if u had, the damage was done.
She suffered severe trauma.
No, but I let her walk around.
We have to be ready.
There could be delayed esentations Of chest, brain, abdominal injuries, and What are you doing? Taking away your toys till you get it together.
Can't clamp if you don't give me good exposure.
This is crazy.
She's gonna exsanguinate.
She's gonna crash one way or another If you don't get on top of your biz, Minard.
It doesn't matter what you didn't do last night or what You didn't do with that boy back in the states nine months ago.
What matters is what you do right now, and right now I need you to stop worrying and hold your damn hand steady, So I can tie off this artery and save your patient.
Heart rate is 120.
Are you on top of your biz? Yes! I am on top of my biz! Good.
Then you clamp off the artery.
Hey, Cole is out of surgery.
The OR.
Is free.
How are we doing? Almost done.
Pulling the last of this cushioning out now.
they find that girl yet? No, but, look, We wait any longer, we risk serious infection.
Jefe, come on.
Let them take that thing out of you.
Okay.
I'm gonna grab a gurney and prep you for surgery.
Uh, Dr.
Keeton! Charlie has a Family, right? His parents abandoned him when he was 9.
Well, how'd he end up here? Well, he start doing odd jobs, And he was good, so I put him on a salary, Got him a room at the hostel in town.
He always seems so happy, though.
Well, he didn't used to be.
I didn't used to see him smile all that much Before you got here.
I'm serious.
You got some influence on that kid.
are we lost? no way.
I know this jungle like the back of my hand.
Nos hemos perdido.
Hey, I hablo español, smart ass.
Now those other chuckleheads who are supposed to be looking For you they might be lost.
See? What's wrong, Doctora? I need to put you down, mi vida.
Okay.
Okay? Okay.
So weight on your good ankle.
What's happening to you? My heart's working too hard.
When I was your age, I was bit by the same bug you were.
It made my heart weak.
Ohh.
What can I do? Okay, in my kit, There's a pink box Of something called Lidocaine.
Okay.
Okay, I want you to take the needle and the syringe And screw them together.
Perfect.
Okay.
Good.
Good.
I can do it.
Okay.
Push it in.
Okay.

Is this going to happen to me someday? I won't let it.
Once the blade's cut, we move.
4 more migs of Morphine.
What do ya know? Trusted with Morphine.
This guy and his buddy kinda remind me of the two of you.
Fuller? Just saying, I bet the two of you are gonna retire togher, Practice geriatric medicine in some nice rest home In Rio or something.
All right.
Ready? Yep.
Roll him.
Rolling.
Nice and easy.
Yep.
Nice and easy.
Oh, we got an arterial tear! okay, prep and drape him now.

We're losing him.
Okay, Fuller, squeeze in 2 liters of Saline.
Got it.
I see the tear.
Satinsky.
All right.
I got the proximal.
Okay.
I'm gonna take the distal.
Now, Cole, we gotta clamp And tie off both sides of the vessel, so on my count, You're gonna pull that rotor out as steady as you've ever been, All right? All right? I can't do that.
What? I can't do that.
Wh All right, I've got a hand on his aorta.
I can't let go.
If he crashes, Fuller's gonna have to push blood and fluid The second this thing comes out.
We need another hand in here real steady one.
Go! Get Brenner or Minard.
Hurry! Are you high right now? No.
Okay.
Try this one.
Cariño, your toe it moved.
It definitely moved.
Just try again, just to be sure.
You fixed her.
well, we're not out of the woods yet.
After a multisystem trauma, you have to monitor very closely.
Ah, well, gracias a dios That I don't have to worry about this anymore.
Look.
I was trying to figure out how to build ramps for the lodge.
A wheelchair in the jungle? That would suck.
what are you thinking? Something's wrong.
have you ever seen her like this? It's the pain medication, no? Crap.
what? She's not on pain medication.
what's going on here? What's going She's blown a pupil.
What's going on? Pushing Mannitol.
Bagging.
What's happening? Blood's building under her skull from the trauma.
I'm sorry, Julio, but you can't watch this.
delayed epidural.
We're gonna have to relieve the pressure on her brain.
She can't die, Brenner.
She can't die.
Hurry, Brenner.
She's crashing.
Dude, this This is where you sleep? tacking away fromlood loss.
Where the hell is Fuller? 10-blade.
I always wanted to say that.
For the love of God, plastics! Okay, we needed steady hands.
He's got the steadiest.
You ever seen him deal from the bottom of the deck? What? I don't Do that.
Yeah, you do.
He does.
He's that steady.
And everybody else was busy.
Okay, you pull slow and straight on my call.
Your hand cannot move, okay? Got it.

Vascular clamp.
B.
P.
's 80 palp.
Still borderline.
Okay.
Go.
Do it.
proximal's holding steady.
And I got the distal.
Fuller, be ready to push fluids.
All right.
Pressure's holding steady.
Congratulations.
You just rocked your first surgery.
Good news or bad? Bad.
Keeton and Cole are in surgeries.
Zee's dealing with a Caiman bite.
Clark's still out there looking for the little girl.
Good.
I found this.
How is that good news? We have to drill down to her brain To relieve the pressure, and we have a skull drill.
Yes, from 1965.
Better than one from the hardware store.
Fine.
I couldn't have done a better job myself, Minard.
So she'll be okay? We've drained the blood.
Could be more swelling as the brain re-expands.
She's not going to get better, is she? Of course she is.
really? Take this.
Listen People talk crap About medical miracles all the time, And I never I didn't believe in them, But things happen.
How many do you get? How many what? Look, when Lynnie and I first met, We did not make sense.
We're from different cultures, spoke different languages, And the only thing that brought us together Was a love for cheap hamburgers.
Ten years later, here we are, Lynnie and I.
See, we we fit the square peg into the round hole, So, uh My miracle has already happened, okay, And she was it.
oh, my God.
Felicia.
Mi hija.
You're bleeding.
It's just a puncture wound.
Her ankle.
Where did you find her? Far from the crash site, down a ravine.
The canopy broke her fall.
Any injuries besides the ankle? Concussion, a few scrapes and bruises, But, uh, I need to do a full exam.
You're not touching her! What? I let you put my girls in that helicopter, And they almost died.
She had a mosquito bite.
Look, I'm really sorry that this happened, But it's not just a mosquito bite.
It was a bug bite! I let you put my little girls in that piece of rusty tin, And they fell out of the sky.
No.
No mas! You will stay away from my children.
Me ayuda! Si, señora.
Clark I can't.
I'm sorry.
okay.
Can you pull your toes towards your forehead for me, please? Great.
Now this foot.
Okay.
What's wrong? My guess you bruised your Lumbar Plexus, The nerves that control your foot.
General motility should be okay, but, um But a pilot needs both feet to fly.
With intensivphysical therapy, You could bounce back in a year or two.
But maybe I don't.
Maybe you don't.
I've been flying for 32 years.
Es suficiente.
No.
No.
No, no.
What? Lo siento, my friend, but you don't get to make that call.
You heard the doctors.
After all that you've been through, Flown thousands of missions, Been there for thousands of people You don't get to give up now.
I won't let you.
you won't let me? What are you gonna do, jefe, Take me to therapy eve day for a year? What if it's two? I'll do it for ten, If that's how long it takes to get you flying again.
You gotta do what I say now, because it's my turn! It's my turn to be the pilot! "My turn to be the pilot.
" Que idiota.
Estupido.
Si, si.
Call me what you want.
I'm not going anywhere.
Imbécil! Bobo! Si, hermano.
Déjame en paz! Get your own life! You stupid, stupid, stupid You stupid Stupid Friend.
Stupid, stupid friend.
Stupid friend.
Si.
I spun a crit.
I did a urinalysis.
Felicia has no signs of internal injury.
Simple concussion and second-degree ankle sprain.
Es un milagro.
Si, es un milagro.
except it's not, Because that little girl might need a new heart in 20 years.
And then she will get one, just like you will.
Ay, muchachita tonta.
I don't know why you people bother hiding anything from me.
Does Keeton know? I was gonna tell him, and he finally went All commitment-happy on me, and I couldn't do it Not after everything he's been through.
Well, he's gonna find out eventually.
It's happening again, isn't it? Once there's brain stem failure, there's no treatment.
I'm I am so sorry That I couldn't you did everything you could.
It was in my pocket.
All day Through the rescue, two surgeries.
I n I never touched it.
But I wanted to.
My hand was shaking like a damn leaf, I wanted it so bad.
One day at a time, right? Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, thank God not every day is like today was.
Hey.
Do you try to buy the worst flavors? What's wrong with grape? What's not wrong with grape? Dude, it was on sale.
Yeah, 'cause everyone but you knows that grape - Is the worst flavor.
It turns your mouth purple.
Come on.
- Really? Chicks don't like purple.
It's not chicks don't like purple? Women like orange.
Orange is sexy.
Oh, orange you look cool.
You look Orange.
You ever see me eating anything but the orange candy? Wait! Espera! - Entre, entre.
- Por favor, espera.
What do you want? This is Albendazole.
It's the medicine that Felicia needs.
It just came in today.
Can I at least say good-bye? So when I was a little girl your age I got to travel all over the world, And each charm on this bracelet Represents somewhere that I got to go.
You went to all those places? Uh-huh.
You're gonna go places, too San Miguel for some tests And then wherever the doctors tell you to go.
If you get scared, I want you to wear this, And I want you to remember what you did today.
You can handle anything now.
Okay.
You, too.
That's pretty good.
You need to, uh, evert the wound edges, though.
Look, little man When I was a kid, I had this pet hamster.
that thing was the best.
You know, we'd play together.
He'd follow me all over the house.
Then one day I came home from school, And he was gone.
I guess I'd Left his cage unlatched And eventually I found his body underneath my bed.
I'm not gonna die under your bed.
That's not the point.
Charlie, I thought that you had a home, And then I found you curled up under a table in the lab.
I got a place.
Okay, but I need to see it.
I need to know that It's not a cardboard box in some alley somewhere.
It's gonna make you really mad.
I can handle it.
Okay.
What the hell? I knew you'd be mad.
H-how how? Who ever uses their time-share? So rich people just pay you to condo sit? Just for the past six months, yeah.
Hey, it beats the hostel.
look, hermano, I told you I could take care of myself.
Yeah, you're doing just fine.
But thanks for worrying so much.
"Look, I need to see where you live.
" shut up.
you wanna play foosball? Yeah.
Why not? I haven't played foosball since college.
Seriously? You're burning the midnight oil.
Yeah, after last night I figured I owe you some overtime.
Well, hell if I'm paying you for it.
doesn't look like you'll be missing any more pages.
no.
I just wanted to let you know that I didn't come here I came here to be a doctor.
You know, surviving the jungle Is all about instincts.
Now I needed you there last night Because yours are the best that I've seen in a long time.
Yeah, well, they don't seem to be so great right now.
Well, if your gut's telling you it's right, Then I'm betting it is.
Good night.
I need your help.
It's not the same.
It's not the same.
You are not the same.
How bad is it? The ventricle's Markedly enlarged.
There's poor ejection fraction.
you're in heart failure.
I love you, too.
This is the Batcave? How did you find this place? We drove through a chicken farm, literally Chickens jumping out of the way, feathers flying.
Lily, you shouldn't have come.
I know.
I know.
It doesn't make any sense at all.
We can't even figure out date number two, But I like picnics, And they're private, And the police don't usually bust them, So if you're up for it, Maybe that can be our second date.
And we don't have to figure out any more than that right now, You know, just date number two What is that? What? Your crop.
What is it? Wait.
I know this plant.
Lily.
What's this plant? Coca.
Cocaine.
