SkyMed (2022) s03e01 Episode Script

1
No stopping. We're comin' in hot!
- Ay!
- Fire in the hole!
(CHOPPER): No!
Oh, my god. Chopper?
I screwed up, boy. That's why
I got cut from selection camp.
I was at the fire tower for that reason.
I was trying to recreate the exercise.
I wanted to prove that
I could find a solution.
- Prepare for emergency landing.
- Hang on, guys. Just hang on.
- There!
- Holy shit, Chopsy found them.
- Congratulations, partner.
- Thank you, dad.
(MADISON): I'm so proud of you.
I just couldn't handle joel losing you.
I can't handle losing you.
(NOWAK): I love you, Tristan,
but I did a stupid thing.
(TRISTAN): You slept with someone.
- Tristan?
- No! Nowak.
- I'd do anything to fix this.
- I still love you, you know.
It's Tom the ops manager
from Birch Wing Air.
(NOWAK): Are you
offering me a job?
We are, chief pilot, unless you
have a reason to stay in Thompson.
(GASPING)
I think you were right
and I think I need help.
I'm okay going to meetings, Wheezer.
And as much as I want you
to be my boyfriend, right now,
I just need a really good friend more.
(WHEEZER): Whatever you need,
hayley, I'm here for you.
You are not alone anymore.
You got me, Lex.
I'm on your team. Always.
I can't handle showing
up to another call
to find someone I love hurt.
Love? I love you too, Stef.
(JEREMY): Looking for Rosie?
(ROSIE): Here I was, dumb enough
to hope you might come visit me.
How else am I gonna
get you to ask me out.
It's my old one.
Couldn't give this one up.
It saved my ass so many
times as a new nurse.
Thought maybe it
could take care of you, too.
I'm really proud of you, Jer.
I'm always gonna want
the best for you, Crys.
I want that for you, too.
Someone told me that no one
gets through this alone.
Good thing we take care of
our own around here, huh?
(LAURA): I'm telling you, there
is something growling out there.
Can't you hear that?
It's just the wind. Okay?
The phone said it was gonna get gusty.
What if it's a polar bear?
The guide books says they hunt humans.
Polar bears don't come
this far south, Laura.
Guidebook said there'd be
mounties up here too, right?
Global warming, Gord.
I knew camping up here was a bad idea.
Okay, all right. Okay, I'll go look.
(MYSTERIOUS GROWLING IN DISTANCE)
Whoo!
Okay. Yeah, guess it got pretty gusty.
Are you sure that's not a bear?
I'm pretty sure it's the trees.
See? Wind already took
a bunch of them down.
Okay, well now can we go home?
We can't camp in this mess.
Oh, come on. This is
the real Canadian experience.
Gord! Ah!
(WHEEZER): I'm dying here. With
this new Thunder Bay contract
I can barely keep the planes crewed.
Not enough pilots?
Please, Crystal, pilots are easy.
Nurses are the problem.
And now I'm losing you too?
For a semester to do classwork
at Med School in Winnipeg.
I'll be back before
you know it, Wheezer.
Oh yeah? That's what
the last chief nurse said too
before she went on vacation
and never came back.
There aren't enough
nurses anywhere right now.
And if they have a choice
between a city hospital
and a dangerous job
in a tiny plane up north.
Whoa, my planes are not tiny.
And dangerous? Come on!
An elevator fell on Nowak.
Yeah, but he's not a nurse,
and he's fine.
- He's coming back to work.
- Chopper blew himself up.
- Also not a nurse.
- I got shot.
Yeah, but Crystal, come on.
That was your clinical.
We all know that Med School's tough.
Whoa!
I'm guessing that's not a new nurse.
Whoo-ee!
Mm. Love the smell of jet fuel
first thing in the morning.
Nope, that's definitely one of mine.
You're missing some
snow tires there, champ.
Yeah, well, wasn't
expecting snow in October.
Not used to the north, eh?
Not used to being back in Canada.
Ha. So you must be my
new First Officer TJ.
Reporting for duty, cap.
(PAGERS BEEP)
Yeah. Right on time, Teej.
Fresh air, excitement, and a great boss?
Who wouldn't want that instead
of a boring city hospital
that smells like pee?
I mean, flying into remote situations,
never knowing what you're walking into?
A lot of people prefer pee.
All right, let me ask you this, Teej,
when you took this job,
were you worried about danger?
- Never even crossed my mind, cap.
- See?
Yeah, my mom's
actually relieved I'm here.
Why? What were you doing before?
Well, that's not really relevant, is it?
I flew charter for a company
that hired out to the UN.
Flew all over Africa, Middle East.
Compared to flying in
and out of war torn countries,
yo, I'd say this feels pretty safe, cap.
Hey look, isn't that
your patient up there?
(GORD GRUNTING)
(LAURA): Over here!
Hurry, it's my husband.
Here.
Gord? I'm Crystal. I'm here to help.
(GORD GRUNTS)
HR's high. Breathing's shallow.
Possible spinal injuries
and internal bleeding.
Let's get him out of here, fast.
What are you supposed to do
about this whole situation?
Well, that's us, Teej.
Let's take a look, all right?
- Okay.
- We kept hearing this sound.
And I thought for sure it was a bear.
(LOUD GROWL IN DISTANCE) Like that.
I don't think we're gonna
be able to lever this up.
Hope those aren't just vanity
pipes, Teej,
'cause I'm gonna need
you to grab the handsaw.
- Would a chainsaw help?
- It would, yeah.
We have one in the camper.
Gord said I was overpacking
but I just had this feeling.
(GROWLING CONTINUES)
TJ: What is that?
Oh, shit!
Wheezer!
(WHEEZER PANTING)
Okay, I guess this
job's just a little dangerous.
Okay, approachability.
Approachability, positivity, integrity.
I'm those things, right?
Uh, worksheets, appendix B.
(PA): Attention
all passengers,
Flight 301 from Winnipeg to Thompson
has been delayed Due to weather.
Great. Just perfect.
Gin and tonic.
Uh, actually cancel that.
Uh, approachability,
positivity, integrity.
- Excuse me?
- Sorry, not a creep.
Um, we're, we're reading the same book.
I just got a job promotion.
My buddy, he left to
go start his own business
so I've been bumped up to take
his spot and uh,
it feels like a big deal.
Yeah, like, like it's finally
time for me to be a grown up,
responsible adult.
And I am responsible. I am.
It's just uh, I don't know,
I don't really feel grown up.
You know? But, but I want people
to see me as grown up,
and the internet recommended this book,
which is supposed to help me
change my image, so.
I think it works.
I think first impressions die hard.
Uh What is your
first impression of me?
You talk. A lot.
No. No, like I meant um, what do you
What kind of person do you think I am?
Okay. For example,
My first impression of you
is that you are not from Manitoba.
Maybe, I don't know, Vancouver, Toronto.
Do I wanna know why? Thank you.
Your clothes. It's city fashion.
Your, your whole look it's
Put together.
Yeah. It tells me that
you care a lot about appearances
and you're carrying an actual book,
which probably means you
Like to read.
(WOMAN LAUGHS)
Uh, and you keep looking at your watch,
like you have to be on time
for something in Thompson.
I'm supposed to be at
the fall fair there tomorrow.
But I mean, can you even
fair in all this snow?
(LAUGHS) We do everything
in the snow up north.
But why are you going to
the fair in Thompson?
Oh. (CHUCKLES)
I know your secret.
You're a librarian.
- That's my secret?
- A glamorous librarian.
But the library thing is just
a cover for being a spy.
That's right. Your code name is um,
Lady
Jaguar.
Ah. Ahem.
(CHOPPER CHUCKLES)
I know your secret, too.
Me? No. No, no, no. I wish.
I wish I had secrets.
Ladies love a man of mystery.
Oh, I think you have lots of secrets.
I think that you already
know you can do this new job,
Whatever it is.
And you don't actually wanna be
a man of mystery
because I think you know
that this whole,
"I'm just a funny nerd who
doesn't know how hot I am"
thing you got goin' works just fine.
But your big secret
is that you're a spy, too.
And your code name
is snack bauer.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
(PA): Attention all passengers,
Flight 301
from Winnipeg to Thompson
has been further delayed
due to weather.
Please check for
updated gate information.
I wish I could be lady
Jaguar, even just for a night.
Well, we're stuck in Winnipeg.
Why can't you?
So
Are you gonna spill
the nuclear codes or shall I?
(CHOPPER CHUCKLES)
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
(LEXI): Chopper, finally.
You gonna make the 6:45 or what?
You miss the 6:45,
you'll have to wait until 1600.
No, no, of course
I'm gonna make it, Lex.
I'm a captain. I'm a responsible adult.
Starting now. Ahem.
Besides, I checked our schedule.
Should be a super easy day.
Dispatch, we have two critical patients.
We need backup. Send another medevac.
She doesn't have a pulse.
I need to defibrillate.
Chopper! Switch!
(DRAMATIC TENSE MUSIC)
(HAYLEY): Charging 200 joules.
Come on, Stef. You are not leavin' me.
- Mwah!
- Clear.
Charging again, 200 joules.
And clear.
(MACHINE BEEPS STEADILY)
We got her. She's got a pulse.
(CHOPPER BLOWS OUT BREATH)
(ANNOUNCER):
Next up at the fall fair,
the children's pet show.
I knew we shoulda done a flyover.
They're way more impressive.
Okay guys, let's uh, let's just clean up
In case we get a real call, okay?
All right. Come on, sleeping beauty.
Stef! Babe!
That was not fair, Lex.
Laying one on me when you knew
I had to pretend to be dying?
- Aw.
- Sure you don't regret it?
You did taste like corn syrup and dye.
Turning down the job at birch wing.
Mighta moved up faster there.
Maybe even be captain now.
Yeah, but you wouldn't be there.
And besides, Wheezer said
I'm like, next in line
to go captain here, so.
Oh, c'mere, you still
got a little syrup.
Oh, do I? (CHUCKLES)
She didn't show.
Who, the new chief nurse?
This whole outreach was her
idea to boost Skymed's image
and help recruitment,
and then she doesn't show?
Well, I mean, she doesn't
technically start until tomorrow.
And she did send out some
very detailed instructions.
Yeah well, I wanna make Skymed
sexy for new recruits too,
but she sent a lot of instructions.
Oh, my god, did she actually
use the word "sexy"?
Oh. (BOTH LAUGH)
Speaking of, can't believe
you're making me wait tonight.
Hey, it's better this way.
Gives us both time to get
excited about it.
Yeah, but it's the finale.
Everyone's gonna have seen it.
There's gonna be spoilers everywhere.
Wheez, after the Golden Bachelor fiasco,
We both agreed that we
weren't gonna watch ahead.
Yeah, but Love is Blind
Brazil is my favorite.
The emotions, they're just so real.
Well, lucky for you, I swapped
my shift with Tristan's.
Oh, thank god.
I need to find out what
happens to Agata and Renan.
You know, if you play your cards right,
I might just make you my
famous bacon jalapeno pizza.
(CRYSTAL): Whoa, he's making pizza?
When a white boy busts out jalapenos,
that usually means he has intentions.
(HAYLEY SCOFFS)
Is there something I need
to know, Ms. Roberts?
No. No, we're just, we're just friends.
Friends who watch TV together,
and go hiking together,
and do yoga together.
And change their schedules
so they can work together.
Yeah, but it's not like
that. We're really just
Well, if you were interested,
he's a great guy.
One of the best.
Look, I'm not supposed to date
in my first year of sobriety.
I'm not supposed to make
any big decisions, really.
It feels like for
the first time in my life,
I'm not running from anything.
And I just wanna take this time
to just be still and
Figure out what I wanna run toward.
(ROSIE): Beat the chill,
every Saturday.
(JEREMY): If she can make me
look good, she can do you too.
You're gonna love it.
You're missing out.
- All right. Dang it.
- Do you think it's the flyer?
- No, the flyers are good. I like 'em.
- They were good.
- The colour scheme too.
- Yeah. Med student Crystal!
Hey, Rosie. Jeremy.
Hey, Crys.
Are you teaching uh, salsa classes?
Uh yeah, she used to be a
dance instructor back in the
It was before I became
a kindergarten teacher.
I just thought I'd pick it up again.
You know, get some exercise,
make some money,
make some friends.
Yeah, but she can't book
the whiskey hatch
without any confirmed students,
you know that.
I'm trying.
I tried to switch shifts but
I know. I just, I don't
really know anyone here yet.
I mean, Jeremy's been great.
He's introduced me to all his
friends but their his friends,
you know, so yeah.
Well uh, we're your friends,
too. We'll come.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Great. I promise you'll love
it. Salsa is so much fun.
Okay, that is two down.
Only a few more to go.
- Come on Jer-Bear.
- (JEREMY): Yeah. Yeah.
Great. Okay, see you guys there.
Ready?
- Salsa?
- Rosie's nice.
And if Jeremy's gonna
start working at Skymed soon,
we're gonna be seeing a lot more of her.
Does she know that you two
Jer and I haven't talked about it.
She knows we were childhood friends.
I just don't know
if she knows we were uh
Adult friends, too?
(WILEY JON BY ARI B. INGBER)
- Are we gonna start or what?
- Almost ready.
You okay, Tristan?
I don't know why the new chief nurse
chose me to host bingo night.
I hate being in front of a crowd.
You did volunteer to help with the fair.
Yeah, but not something so Stared at.
Or maybe you just didn't
wanna be at the crew house
when a certain Polish
captain comes home today?
You two haven't really
talked since his accident.
Chop, chop, Franklin.
Um, okay.
Um, nN-33.
N-33, everybody.
Ooh, b-12.
Yeah. Eat my dust,
limp leather. Heh, heh.
Maybe if you two just talked
it wouldn't be such a big thing.
Okay, look, Nowak is intense.
He puts a lot of pressure
on things to happen right now.
He wants it all black and white
but we both made mistakes.
Could you maybe call a ball
that some of the rest of us have?
Okay um, sure. Uh, how 'bout oh, o-68.
I knew it! You're cheatin'
he's always cheatin'.
(TRISTAN): No one's cheating.
You do this all the time,
fred. You want balls?
- Hey, guys, guys, guys.
- I'll give you balls.
- What the
- Here!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Here're your balls.
- Come on, man!
- Son of a bitch! Ugh!
Come on, guys. Break it wah!
Oh, um, mm-mm. Mm-mm!
(PLAYERS GRUNTING)
Hey, come on, come on, Chops.
Woo! Approachability,
positivity, integrity.
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, friends.
Friends, I feel like things
are a little heated right now.
And I'm positive, right,
that, that we can make sure
that everyone feels heard, yeah.
- You puttin' hands on me?
- You're putting hands on him?
UmN-n-no.
No, no!
(MEN GRUNT)
(LOUD CATCALL)
Ow. Ugh.
This is not what I had in mind
when I booked a pr
opportunity for Skymed.
(CURIOUS MUSIC PLAYS)
Are you Marianne? The new chief nurse?
Lady Jaguar?
Snack Bauer?
(MUSIC PEAKS)
You know, chief nurse doesn't
usually live in the crew house.
Do your pilots usually
get into bar fights?
Well, that um, sounded
more like a scuffle.
Captain Eastman,
part of why Skymed hired me
is my experience working PR
with major Toronto hospitals.
Skymed wants to raise their profile,
draw more employees,
land more contracts.
Well, like the Thunder Bay contract.
That's one. We've still
got a long way to go
to be taken seriously as
a major medevac service.
Uh, you, you must be tired.
Uh, Marianne, is it?
Yeah, uh, why don't I
show you to your room?
I've got it, thanks.
Right, well we're organizing
a little welcome get together
for you and the new hires.
Yes, about that.
I want to discuss one of the new
medical hires, Jeremy Wood.
- I understand you hired him?
- Uh-huh.
He's a PCP.
As I'm sure you know,
medevacs require ACPs
or maybe you don't,
because you're a pilot.
Well, Jeremy has already started
his advanced care training
and he will only be working
part time with Skymed
until he finishes
with Thompson ambulance.
I'll decide that. Thanks.
Excuse me.
So, she seems fun.
Yeah.
(DRAMATIC EVOCATIVE MUSIC)
People have been fired for a
lot less and we were in uniform.
Cheekbones! (GIGGLES)
Why didn't you call me to pick
you up from the hospital?
Because two months
of everyone fussin' over me
is more than enough.
Oh, sure. You get
an elevator dropped on you
And we're the jerks for worrying.
How are you though, all fixed up?
I mean, you look super recovered.
All fixed up. Ribs, lungs. Heart.
(GENTLE EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
Well, yeah, you know what?
I'm just gonna Yup.
(BOTH CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY)
How are you really?
You, you look good but you know.
I'm good, Tris. Honestly.
I wanted to call. A bunch of times.
But I knew you needed space.
I was hoping that now
that I'm recovered,
maybe you'd wanna go
for a coffee together
or go for a walk or
Maybe you should get
used to being back first
and we could get used
to working together again.
Let's just take things slow, Milosz.
We've got time.
(PHONE RINGING)
(CALL BEEPS OFF)
(CHOPPER): Nurse Ferrera.
Hi. I uh, sorry,
or should I say Lady Jaguar?
(CHUCKLES)
Sorry, I meant that to be
positive and approachable,
not uh
Come on, approachability,
positivity, integrity?
Yeah, we're beyond first
impressions, Captain Chopra.
Hmm. Well, everybody
here calls me Chopper.
And uh, and now that
you're here, working too.
Come on, we're both adults.
I know that we uh, didn't exactly plan
to run into each other. Again.
But hey, none of this has to be awkward.
And this could um
This could actually be a good thing.
I'm sure you can appreciate
that we're both starting new jobs
and that we both want
to be seen a certain way?
So, I think it would be best
if we just pretend
that our layover
in Winnipeg didn't happen.
As far as anyone here needs to know,
we're just two colleagues
meeting for the first time.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, no, yeah, of course.
(PAGERS BEEPING)
Hey. Ready to go?
You're not working today, Ms. Roberts.
Yeah, I, I switched
my schedule with Tristan
so that we could fly together.
I've been covering things
since the last chief nurse left
so I thought I could
catch you up on everything
and show you how we do things up here.
There may be aspects of how
you do things around here
that need to change.
We don't need two nurses.
You can get the next one.
We pair up a lot.
And since it's your first time.
I know that people
get the wrong impression
about nurses who take corporate gigs,
but before I got my masters in PR,
I worked at the biggest ERs in Toronto.
Totally. But it's
An adjustment working medevacs up here.
It was, for me, at least. And
Well, nursing is nursing, Hayley.
Doesn't make it different
just because you're on a plane.
(VOMITING)
I know the last thing
you wanna do is eat
but if you get something
in your stomach.
I'm fine. (WRETCHES)
Here, I'll just leave these beside you.
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
How do you two know each other?
When she showed up at the whiskey hatch
it just seemed like you knew her.
UmNo. Nope. Heh, definitelyNot.
Uh, hey, you wanted to go
captain soon, right?
Uh, you might um, you might need this.
- I'm a kickass pilot.
- Oh, I, I know that.
It's just uh, being a good captain
isn't just about being a good pilot,
It's about being a good leader, too.
Lex, we have SOP in
training for every scenario,
but the one thing we can't
control are human factors.
Working with other people.
Hmm. "A likeable leader
is a people person."
- Yeah.
- "People like people-people."
(LOUD VOMITING)
I knew we shouldn't have
let him sit up front.
Man, he sucks at steering.
It's my toboggan and I knew we
shouldn't have come back here.
This patient's airway is unstable.
We need to get him to an OR.
I, uh, I think we can pull
this end out of the pile
If we do it carefully.
Okay, go slow.
It's closer to several
major vessels than I'd like.
And any big bumps could
cause an arterial bleed.
I'll stabilize the shoulder wounds.
I just said we can't shake the pole.
We can't get them
in the plane like this.
We're gonna have to separate
at least one patient to fit them in.
Absolutely not. The neck
injury is in the middle.
Cutting off either boy at the ends
would mean sawing right beside his neck.
We can't strap them in like this.
They're not gonna fit on the stretcher.
Look, we cannot have patients
with a sharp projectile
Flying around mid-flight.
That's a danger to
the aircraft and my crew.
Captain Chopra, you are here
to transfer my patients.
Listen, I can appreciate
that you are the medical authority here
But when it comes
to matters of plane safety,
the captain calls the shots.
And I appreciate
that you're trying to be seen
as a grown up leader
who can call the shots.
But this not about you, Chopper.
It's about the patient.
He's got a bleed. We need to move now.
Is there a way that you can
separate them without a saw?
- Maybe.
- We can't pull them off.
One of the other boys could bleed out.
Rust. This is aluminum.
What are you doing?
He's Choppering.
I am making a thermite torch.
(KNIFE SCRAPING ON POLE)
Can you get me a safety flare?
Got it.
Okay. You might wanna brace him.
And uh, cover your eyes.
(FLARE HISSES)
It's okay. Here we go.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(FLAME CRACKLING ON POLE)
(BOY GRUNTS)
(CHOPPER SIGHS)
How did you do that?
We make do with what we have.
And we take care of our own.
Cool, my stuff's here.
Didn't know if this would make it.
Had to convince my buddy at uae jet
to take it personal baggage.
Oh man, you flew into Dubai, too?
Yeah. We were charter.
We went anywhere the un hired us to go.
Pretty cool gig. Captain on a dash 8.
And with those hours you coulda
walked into a right seat
at West Jet or AC.
Why come fly medevacs up here?
Flying for the un felt important.
You know, I didn't wanna,
I didn't wanna give that up
just to come home
And fly people to Disneyland
for vacation, you know?
Even if it meant going back to FO?
(TENDER MUSIC PLAYS)
Yeah. Look, I'm gonna be
captain here soon enough.
Hours and ratings jump
the line all the time, right?
Hey Lexi, you seen Nowak?
- No. You got a minute, cap?
- Mm-hmm.
I know you said
I'm next in line to go captain
but we got a few new hires, so.
Yeah, looks like we're gonna need more.
I thought I just had to worry
about medics but I keep
losing pilots to Birch Wing Air.
I thought it was just Reese who left?
Yeah, me too. But turns out
they poached Nowak as well.
They just called wondering
when his sick leave is up
so he can start
as their new chief pilot.
What?
(TRISTAN): Lexi said you're leaving?
I'm not leaving.
So, you didn't get offered
the chief pilot job at Birch Wing?
I'm not taking it.
What? Why?
I've been stalling Birch Wing
while I've been recovering.
Honestly, I was hoping that you
and I would have had a chance
to talk about things by now,
work things out.
I'm not trying to rush you
if you still need time.
I'm staying. We can figure
things out without any pressure.
You don't think turning down
a dream job for me is pressure?
You just made a huge decision
about me, for me,
without even talking to me.
You can't just force things to
happen how you want them to,
when you want them to, Nowak.
That's not what I'm trying to
do. I'm trying to give us time.
So they don't have to happen now.
What if it doesn't happen at all?
What if you turn this down
and it doesn't happen?
Are you trying to say that
You don't think you can
get past what happened?
Tristan. (PAGERS BEEPING)
Please, look, if there's a way.
(TJ): We should be close.
Dispatch said the patient called it in.
Sounds like he cut himself
on a saw or something.
Hello? We're from Skymed.
We're here to help.
Yeah, that is not a saw.
That is a wood chipper.
You don't think he uh,
chipped himself do ya?
(NOWAK): Not unless the chips
all walked off together.
(DOG WHIMPERS)
(TRISTAN): Kevin?
I was trying to get to the
atv so I could get some help
but I couldn't sit up.
It's okay.
Just relax. We'll take a look.
Shh, shh. Arnie, it's okay.
He's protective.
He's been on me since I fell.
It's okay, arnie, I'm used to
working around grumps.
Right, Nowak?
You still keep a hangry
sandwich in your flight bag?
Hey, Arnie, do you like ham?
Hey, we'll take good care
of your pal, okay?
Why don't you come with me and
have a little snack? Okay?
Come on.
Come on. Good boy. Come here.
I was replacing the blades
on the chipper.
One of the damn things came loose.
Hit me right in the gut.
Let's take a look here.
(KEVIN WINCES)
Wow. That is deep.
It's a good thing Arnie
was laying on top of you.
Keep you warm so
you didn't go into shock.
TJ, I'm gonna need you to hold pressure
while I set up an IV, all right?
Wow, okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Aren't you gonna take the blade out?
No, no, no, we don't even know what it's
holding in place. But
be careful, it's sharp.
- Yeah.
- Right underneath it.
(GRUNTING) Sorry, pal.
It's okay.
Hey, guys, I think
Arnie's bleeding, too.
There's blood everywhere.
His belly's all cut up.
Did he get his as well?
No, he was in the trees
when the blades went flying.
He probably cut himself when
he was laying on top of him
to keep him warm.
Is he gonna be okay?
- He's lost a lot of blood.
- Tristan will help him.
Nowak, I'm a human nurse.
I don't know anything about dogs.
He's hurt, Tristan.
He gave everything
for the person he loved
and now we have to help him.
Even if we can get him
to a vet for surgery,
he needs an IV and fluids now.
I don't know how to do that on a dog.
The Australian military
has canine units.
They're in North Africa.
Sometimes they flew on our charters.
Anyway, one of their dogs
got bit by a snake.
Their medics started an IV.
Said it was line on people, but furrier.
Tristan, please.
(ARNIE WHIMPERS)
Hold his leg.
I don't know anything
about doses for dogs
so I'm not gonna
give him any medication.
But the best I can do is push saline.
All right, here we go.
Think is vein is right
Ooh, it's okay. It's okay.
There. I'm in.
Thanks.
Would you call me?
Let me know he's okay.
(ARNIE BARKS)
You should take the job.
What?
That dog would do anything
for his person.
And Nowak, I can't be the reason.
I won't let you hurt yourself for me.
Take the job, Nowak.
(SHAKY INHALE AND EXHALE)
(ROSIE): One, two, three.
On the beat.
Why am I doing this? I need
to be studying physiology.
There is physiology in salsa.
Ow! Maybe a little medicine, too.
Okay, everybody,
let's try putting it together
with a partner, buddy up.
(SALSA MUSIC)
Okay, you got some moves, girl.
My high school girlfriend,
Mel, was a dancer.
I may have picked up some tricks.
(BOTH GIGGLE)
How is what I'm doing any
different than what she's doing?
Crys, she's not you.
You know that, right?
I mean, Rosie's great but she's not you.
You know, it is okay
if you're still in love
with the love of your life.
It is possible, maybe,
that I might still
have feelings for Jeremy.
Doesn't matter.
He's with Rosie now and they seem happy.
Happier than he was with me.
Does he know how you feel about him?
Well, why don't you tell him?
How do you know that he still
doesn't feel the same way?
What if he doesn't?
There you go.
(MUSIC QUICKENS)
That's it.
Oh.
Come here. (LAUGHS)
Yowza! Someone's on fire!
Okay, I see you, girl.
Here, have some more of this so
you don't burn the joint down.
That's a good call.
So what, you pullin'
a double duty today?
Hmm. Just for the next 30 minutes.
I'm doing a ride-along
on Jeremy's ambulance.
I just registered in Manitoba.
Oh you too, huh?
Would've thought the un
paid their captains more.
Nah, I just like to
get out. Meet new folks.
I'm a people person. See y'all later.
Babe, am I a people person?
Um
I'm not, am I?
I'm a airplanes and other pilots person.
No. You're my person.
Besides, isn't it better to
have a small, tight crew
than a million acquaintances?
Not if you wanna go captain.
How do you do it? You're so
friendly with your patients.
Well, I'm their paramedic.
I'm not their friend.
I care about them and I always
wanna put them at ease
but you know, you can never
let the job get personal.
(PAGERS BEEPING)
Can I go now, too?
You're almost a doctor, Crystal.
You can master salsa, too. May I?
Hey?
You speak nêhiyawêwin?
Um, I'm learning.
Jeremy's culture is an important
part of who he is,
so it's important to me to
learn, to be a better partner.
Okay, this way.
(SALSA MUSIC)
I didn't realize
things were that serious.
Jeremy's special.
Well, you know.
I know you two dated
and I know that was serious, too.
I was a little intimidated at first
but Jeremy explained it's over now.
Sometimes when you have
so much history with someone,
it's too much history to be together.
You are an important part of
his life so if you don't mind,
I'd like to get to know you too?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Wanna try again?
- Sure, yeah.
Ready? Okay.
That's good, you're gettin' it. Okay.
(STEF): This thing
doesn't have heater vents?
I need to warm up the patient.
She was buried in snow for hours.
What were you gonna do,
give her our seats?
The best way to warm a
hypothermia patient is warm fluids.
I used to keep a bag of
saline on the dash
In the ambulance in winter,
just in case.
If I gotta do this with just my own
body heat, it's gonna take forever.
There's a radiant heater in the ceiling.
Uh, bulkhead,
second drawer from the top.
Ah, duct tape. Perfect.
(LEXI): That's a new
nightmare unlocked.
- What, hypothermia?
- Tree wells. I had no idea.
Oh yeah, snow drifts
around trees to create
like, these invisible sink holes?
We could barely see her
snowboard sticking out
when we got there.
Ski patrol said she'd
been in there for hours
before they found her and she was lucky.
Most people suffocate or freeze to death
before ever being found.
Okay, Kelsey, let's get you warmed up
and see what we're dealing with.
Hey, okay, Kelsey, you're
okay. You're on a medevac.
- Can't move.
- You're on a plane.
Breathe. I needPlease,
please let me out.
- Yeah, hang on. Here.
- Let me out.
Here, look at me. Look
at me. Okay, feel me, okay?
Feel how I'm breathing.
You're breathing up here,
real fast and shallow.
We're just gonna slow you down, okay?
(BREATHING SLOWS)
It's okay. You're not trapped
in the snow anymore.
Focus on me, okay?
(DEEP INHALES AND EXHALES)
There you go.
That's better, right?
How long are we stuck in here?
A little while.
Hey, you're not trapped, okay?
You're flying. You're as
free as a person can be.
- I'm gonna lift you up, okay?
- Okay.
Look out there. Look out there.
Look out there for a sec.
You see all that open sky?
You're free, okay. Just breathe.
You're free.
(DEEP INHALE)
I got you.
34 year old female,
hypothermic. Likely concussion.
Let's go. Warming fluids
and get her to imaging for a CT.
That's in a tube, right?
Yes, but it's a whole lot
shorter than a plane ride.
I can't.
Look, Kelsey, you need a
CT to make sure that you don't
have anything more serious
than a concussion.
Will you stay with me?
I'm not supposed to stay with
patients after they're admitted.
Please. You got me through the flight.
Um, yeah, okay. I got you. I'll stay.
Hey, Stefferson airplane.
Ready to be Stefferson
ambulance for the night?
I can't. I gotta stay
at TCH with a patient.
That's cool. I'm done
in a couple hours anyway.
Yo, is uh Hayley still
making brownies tonight?
Last I heard she was.
Yes? All right, you tell
her to save me some, ok?
- Only 'cause you asked nicely.
- All right. Okay, I'll see ya.
Dispatch, this is unit 12
heading back to base.
Looks like the flash freeze
is kicking in a little early.
The roads are pretty icy. Whoa.
(TENSE MUSIC)
- Hey man, you okay?
- I, I, I hit a tree.
Yeah, no I can see that.
You can't park here.
I'm just playing. Look, I'm a paramedic.
My name's Jeremy. Can I uh, take a
Okay, let's see.
It's my mom's car.
She's gonna be so mad.
Nah, she's gonna be
glad you're okay, man.
Look, can you do me a favor?
Just, uh Just look at
this light for me real quick.
Yeah, yeah. We were watching
the game at Ryan's and
It went into overtime
and I was supposed to get home
to babysit my little brother.
But, but Hannah was there
and I, I just wanted
to talk to her, you know?
Yeah, and then,
and then I had to floor it
to get home on time and
It's not a good idea to floor
it on these kinda roads, man.
It's way too icy.
- Ah! Ah!
- Okay.
Oh, my back hurts.
Oh, that isn't good, is it?
Listen, we'll uh, we'll get
you back to the hospital
- And we'll figure it out, okay?
- Okay.
I'm gonna get my backboard, hold on.
- Wait, wait, you're leaving?
- Just to the ambulance.
It's just, it's right It's
just, listen, I'll be quick.
I'm comin', I'll come
right back, ok? I promise.
- No, no, no, please, please.
- Listen, I need that backboard, man.
Please, you can't leave me
here. I can't feel my legs.
I'm freakin' out.
Please stay with me. Please.
Dude. Okay, here, hold, hold on.
See this? Look. See this?
Look, I know it sounds a little hokey,
Okay but it's my lucky
stethoscope, all right?
As long as I have this, nothing
bad ever happens, all right?
- Okay.
- You wanna hold on to it for me while I
I'm not some dumb, little kid.
No, I know you're not
some dumb, little kid, but just,
look, I gotta check
your airways again in a minute.
Right? So, why don't
I'll just, I'll leave
this right here. Okay?
Okay, yeah.
- Just 'til I get back.
- Okay.
- Okay? You good?
- Yeah, yeah.
- All right.
- Okay.
Dispatch, I got a car in a ditch here.
Need some backup
for a likely spinal injury.
(DISPATCH): Copy that unit 12.
How's the ice? Salter on route.
Tell them to be careful
on the way out here.
(TRUCK ROARING)
(CHOPPER): All right,
party time.
Got the stuff for Wheezer's jet fuel.
He can make it when he gets here.
(RUN FROM LOVE (BY KIAMO BLU PLAYS)
Wow, you look fancy.
It is a work function.
And we are adults. Remember?
You're new here.
But this isn't the city, it's the north.
And up here, we make do
with what we have.
And take care of our own.
Oh, and we uh, we cut loose.
When we can.
Lexi, that looks so good.
You did such a good job.
Um, I got a bunch more food in my car.
- You're good if I leave you?
- Yep. Okay.
Oh, okay, don't worry
Cheekbones, I got you.
(PAPER CRINKLES)
How are things with you and Tristan?
- You two kiss and make up yet?
- No.
Saved a dog today at least.
Oh. Okay, come on. Come here.
Tell mama everything. Aw.
(CRYSTAL): Hey, everybody.
You made it.
I was worried you'd get
stuck at the hospital.
Can you put my music on?
I put some salsa on my phone.
Chopper, can you help me
get some ice from outside?
Yeah.
(BLOWS OUT BREATH)
Great, party and humiliation.
(SALSA MUSIC)
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Four, five six.
One, two, three.
Four, five, six.
Ahem. You don't count salsa,
you feel salsa.
In the heart. And hips.
May I?
Try not to think.
Just let go and I'll put you
where I want you.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
Hey, Crystal, um,
have you heard from Jeremy?
He's not answering any of my calls.
Oh, well he's probably with a patient.
I can never answer my phone at work.
He's usually really good
at getting back to me.
There's nothing from Jeremy
but there's a bunch of
missed calls from Wheezer.
I wonder what's up?
(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)
Crystal
What happened? What's wrong?
It's Jeremy. I'm so sorry, Crystal.
(SHALLOW BREATHING)
