Oh, don't, don't,

don't, don't, don't.

What's the problem?

You recommended Marshall...

Come on, Sam.

He's not even published.

We both know I have

twice the experience.

I was perfect for the job.

No, you weren't.

I know you're brilliant, Sam.

I know you can run circles

around Marshall, but...

But?

It's not just me, Sam.

It's everybody you work with.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Let's hear it.

People think...

What?

People think you're

too focused.

Too focused? I'm too focused?

In a nutshell, Sam,

you're not a team

player, okay?

And frankly, your theories

are a little bit on

the radical side.

Oh, I see.

You scare people.

I see. Uh-huh.

You want it too bad, Sam.

You can't see the

forest for the trees.

Oh, well, I never heard

that one before,

but you know what? I will

try to be less competent.

I don't want to

intimidate my colleagues.

Hello.

All right, what

do we got here?

Gunshot wound?

Just missed his aorta.

Bullet's still lodged.

You give the heparin?

Two minutes ago.

Let's keep our eye

on that pressure.

So, did you and Jill make up?

That's none of your business.

Oh, that means no.

Thank you very much.

Step aside now.

He's all yours, Zack.

I got it.

Keep pressure on that artery.

This guy's a bleeder.

Yeah, I'm on it.

She still wants me to

take the Porsche back.

Can you believe it?

Sponge. Are you going to?

No way.

It took me three months to get

a turbo 911 in that color.

You can't reason

with her, huh?

She wants a new house.

How do you reason with that?

Well, you guys just

really need to talk.

Nah. I'm gonna wait this out.

She'll crumble eventually.

Yeah? You sure about that?

Okay, let's flush

the pericardium.

You don't want me

to stop the bleeding first?

No.

Why not?

Look at that EKG.

See the rate?

I'll cauterize the vein

after I've got the bullet.

The bullet can wait.

Let me stop the bleeding,

just to be safe.

Bullet's lodged in a vein.

Owen, relax. I've got

it under control.

If you need help, all

you have to do is ask.

Don't need help.

Don't do the Maverick thing.

Don't do it, Zack.

Don't do it? Oh. Why,

it's already done.

Sponge, please.

Boy, we sure saved this guy

some bleeding and some

scar tissue, huh?

We need to talk.

Thousands more are

still missing

in what many are calling

the biggest disaster

to hit the west coast

in over a century.

Most of the transportation

in the Seattle area

has all but halted

as workers attempt

to open up access...

The faults were activated

by a larger fault.

We centered the epicenter nine

miles South of Ellensburg.

Did you confirm it

with the university?

UCW is down,

but we got confirmations from

both Denver and Spokane.

State of emergency

for the entire Seattle area...

You were right, Sam.

It's worse than I thought.

To provide aid and relief to

the victims of this tragedy.

Every time you come

in to assist me,

it's the cowboy thing.

It's the one-man Zack show.

What's your point?

We're a team.

We're supposed to be

working together.

I had it under control.

What if you hadn't?

Would you have asked?

It's never happened.

I don't know.

If you were wrong today,

and that bullet was

lodged in the aorta,

that patient would have bled

to death on my table...

I'm not gonna concern myself

with alternate realities,

because the only reality

of the situation

is that I was right,

and I saved that poor guy

some serious

internal bleeding.

Who are you trying

to impress, Zack?

I don't even know what

you're talking about.

Then why are you always

showing off in the O.R.?

Look, what would

you have done?

Procedure.

Procedure would have

taken twice as long.

The guy would have lost

an extra pint of blood.

Come on, why don't you tell me

what's really on your mind?

Why don't you just

ask for help?

Because I don't...

I don't need help.

Everyone needs help

some time or another.

No, no, not me.

One of these days,

you're gonna screw up

and cost someone their life.

Tell Jill I said hi.

Finally the angels

have come for you.

Hello?

It's me.

What do you want, Owen?

Zack says hi.

That's not why you're calling.

We need to talk.

Well, you should

have done that

before you went out

and bought that car.

Come on, baby.

Can't you just let it go?

No, I can't, Owen.

I think I deserve a

reward now and then.

What's wrong with that?

What about me, huh?

What about the kids?

We're falling all

over ourselves

in this house.

I like that house.

It's too small,

and you know it.

Mom!

There was a quake in Seattle.

It's on the news.

I'm on the phone.

A lot of people bit it.

I know. I know. I

heard about it.

The University of Washington

and the University

of Puget Sound

have been closed until

further notice.

Over 2,000 people are

reported missing

in the downtown

Seattle area...

Oh, lord.

What happened?

Uh, the quake.

We had a quake?

No, in Seattle...

See? Right there.

That is exactly

what I'm talking about.

What are you talking about?

You are too wrapped

up in yourself

to see anything around you,

including us.

I didn't call to argue.

Then return the car,

and that's final.

Jill, hang on...

The military has

sprung into action...

God...

Just stop or you're

both in trouble.

Out.

So, are we good now?

Yeah. Why?

Well, no reason.

It's just, we've only been on

the road less than an hour,

and we've already had

to make a pit stop.

Well, do you have

to be somewhere?

No, I'd just like to

be at the campground

before it gets dark.

I don't see what

the big rush is.

We're not in a big rush.

Well, if there's no rush,

then why are you

pressuring me?

Look... why don't

we just drop it?

Fine. It's dropped.

We've got seismic activity

in Northern California.

We're getting activity

all over Northern California.

Berkeley's reporting

an 8.4 aftershock.

8.4 aftershock?

That's bigger than

the original quake.

That doesn't make sense.

Well, we're getting reports here

it was felt as far as

South of San Bernardino.

Are you sure it was

an aftershock?

Yeah. We can't find

the hypocenter,

and there doesn't appear to

be any new rupture zone.

What about everyone else?

Portland? Los Angeles?

Same. There's nothing.

Bob, we will do

everything in our power

to help you out

during this crisis.

I know how difficult

it must be right now.

You can count on our support.

Excuse me, Governor. You

have another call on line 2.

One moment.

I'm sorry, I'm going to

have to put you on hold.

Rachel, I hope

this is important.

I'm talking with the

governor of Washington.

I think that it is.

This is Governor Williams.

Outside of Redding?

Just now?

Are you sure?

An entire train

just disappeared

outside of Redding.

Just disappeared?

In the same location as the

other seismic activity.

What?

Take me in closer.

Sure. No problem.

Now, closer in on that line.

Here we go.

Make me a hard copy.

Yeah, you got it.

120 people were on board

when the train vanished.
