Arrhythmia Page #6

Synopsis: Oleg is a young gifted paramedic. His wife Katya works at the hospital emergency department. She loves Oleg, but is fed up with him caring more about patients than her. She tells him she wants a divorce. The new head of Oleg's EMA substation is a cold-hearted manager who's got new strict rules to implement. Oleg couldn't care less about the rules - he's got lives to save. His attitude gets him in trouble with the new boss. The crisis at work coincides with the personal life crisis. Caught between emergency calls, alcohol-fueled off-shifts, and search for a meaning in life, Oleg and Katya have to find the binding force that keeps them together.

Back off now!

- I'm her mother.

- Okay, go stand there!

Back off! There's nothing to see here.

Move further to the gates!

No heartbeat, she's not breathing.

Okay. Dima, let's try it this way.

- Should we take her to the car?

- There's no time.

Yagushkin, Mironov team. Calling for

a resuscitation ambulance.

- They are stuck in traffic.

- We got a dying kid here!

They are on their way.

- Done.

- Get the catheter ready.

Adrenaline.

- Back off!

- Clear the area!

Adrenaline in.

There's no heartbeat.

Get the defibrillator. Set it to 40.

Here you go.

I'll get the mask.

Set to 40.

All set.

- Get up.

- Got it.

Clear!

We got a hearbeat.

Dopamine.

Where are they? Where's the ambulance?

Stuck in traffic, they are not moving.

She won't make it. The clothes got scorched,

her chest shrunk, she can't breathe.

- Wait for them!

- There's no time!

Is she going to be fine?

Please do something! You are doctors!

Oh, my God!

Dopamine in.

Get the scalpel.

- Is she going to be fine?

- Stop asking that! Get here!

I'll make an incision, right here.

A small one.

It'll only affect the skin.

She'll be able to breathe.

At least we'll have a chance

to get her to the hospital.

Okay, back off now!

Oleg, what incision?

What are you talking about?

Can't you see she's dying?

Oleg, it's an operation in the field conditions.

Give me a break, Dima!

Are you nuts?!

Give me the scalpel.

I got the mask.

She's breathing.

- Blood pressure is rising.

- Good. That's good.

And it's gonna get better.

The stretcher!

- Did you defibrillate her?

- We did, got her heart beating.

- What's that?!

- An incision. She wasn't breathing.

Who made it?

I did.

Put her in. Connect her to the

monitors and the incubation machine.

You're a real damn hero!

What am I supposed to do with her now?

Do you want me to use magic?

The girl is alive, so you

better shut your trap.

Let's go, guys.

You let us all down big time, morons.

Me, your colleagues, those

poor resuscitators.

Let's pray the girl lives, otherwise

her mother will put us all in jail.

- She won't do that.

- Don't say a word.

Everything you say sounds stupid.

Do what your colleague does.

Keep quiet.

From now on, you keep me posted

about every single thing you do.

Now, both of you write a

leave request and go home.

Don't even think of drinking, you should be

ready to come to a questioning at any moment.

Is that clear or not?

I'll see what I can do.

Get out of my sight!

You're off your shift.

- Hello, ma'am.

- Hello.

My poor girl.

They have been operating for an hour.

Do you know anything?

They aren't telling me anything.

They told me to calm down and go home.

Come back tomorrow.

That's it.

- Nothing certain.

- Listen.

Your daughter's skin was severely burned.

They are removing the affected tissues.

Parts of her coat and so on.

The thing is...

she has lost a lot of blood.

They don't normally operate when

the blood loss is that big.

But they have to operate. It takes time.

I made the incision... Do you remember that?

She's lost a lot of blood.

Because of it.

Her condition is very serious.

There's a lot of overlapping factors.

I see.

It all depends on the girl's health.

- She's a very healthy girl!

- That's good.

I see.

That's good.

She's been transferred to intensive care.

You should go home.

- May I see her please?

- You can't right now.

Just for a minute, please!

- Do you have a smock?

- No, I don't.

We'll find you one. Let's go.

Been sitting here long?

Didn't think you were that dumb.

Ma'am.

My name is Vitaly Sergeevich, I am

the head of this emergency station.

How is she? What's the situation?

My God... She's lying there, all pale...

What does the doctor say?

He said it's bad and I should

be prepared for the worst.

Is she past the crisis?

I thought they'd operate and it

would be clear, but it's not...

Even if she survives, there's still

a lot of operations to be done.

That's a really tough situation.

Ma'am.

Any statements or claims that you may

file will be thoroughly inspected.

If she survives... We really hope she does,

social services will take away the child.

If there's a claim against a doctor

or anything like that, they will.

They will see you as a negligent parent

who didn't pay attention to the child.

I say we wait it all out and

don't involve the authorities.

We can't rely on our justice

system, do you agree?

Listen.

Stop that.

Go back to your chair.

- I mean it.

- Oleg, don't interfere.

Beat it!

Will you excuse us?

Where are you supposed to be right now?

I thought I told you to

go home, you imbecile.

You damn...

You are done for!

Deal.

I found a new place.

You can stay here if you want...

or find something cheaper.

I can't live like this anymore,

I'm sure you feel the same way.

Well... I think...

we should get separated and

stop torturing each other.

Oleg.

Oleg, wait!

I never thought...

I could lose you...

so easily...

Lose you...

for good...

I'm so dumb...

I know that you are the

most precious thing...

that I have in my life.

I need you.

I can't afford to lose you.

I really mean it.

I need you so much!

Please say something.

Have I... lost you already?

I'm sorry, I'm such an idiot!

I'm here, I'm with you.

Katya!

Oleg!

I'm with you, it's all right.

- I'm not letting you go!

- I'm not going anywhere.

80 over 60.

Stay awake!

Sir, stay with us!

What's troubling you?

- It's hard to breathe.

- Does your chest hurt?

Another dose of morphine.

You're gonna feel better in a sec.

- Breathe calmly, relax.

- Morphine in.

Look at me.

- Nikolaevich, why aren't we moving?

- The whole lane is f***ing packed.

Here we go.

- Hold on, I'm going there!

- You're gonna feel dizzy, that's okay.

Get in the lane, come on!

Move to the right lane!

Clear the way!
