Dragonfly
Don't tell me
about my visa.
My wife is stuck in that hellhole,
and I am getting on that plane.
It's bad,Joe.
They're evacuating the villages.
Can you-
Can you get to Calamar?
Can you get across the border
to Colombia?
They're putting us on the bus.
I don't know where they're taking us.
Joe? Joe?
Emily! Em-
Emily Darrow was not
just a doctor...
and a credit
to the medical profession...
she was a healer
and a credit to the human race.
Those who knew her
were changed by her...
inspired by her commitment
to give...
literally everything
of herself...
which is why
we're gathered here today-
to celebrate
this unique life...
not so much taken from us...
as given to us.
From her colleagues
at the university...
in Chicago Memorial's
pediatric oncology ward...
she will be sorely missed.
We're told in medical school that
the face of an emergency room doctor...
is the last thing a lot
of people will ever see.
I've tried to keep that in mind when I
see those frightened eyes staring out at me.
But I don't know
what Emily saw.
What image she took with her.
If there was
a compassionate face...
or she died
in a world of chaos.
And that I don't know this...
haunts me.
The divers saw inside, seor.
There is no one alive.
Then where is she?
Where's her body?
We are searching the shoreline
and jungle now...
but the bus is
under ten feet of water.
The river runs at 17 miles
an hour, seor.
There is nothing
you can do.
Por favor, go home.
I'm not going anywhere.
Not till this is over.
I assure you, seor,
it's over.
No vitals, no pulse.
Put him in E.R. Three on the left.
What are you doing here?
I was paged.
What do we have? Wasn't this morning
your wife's memorial service?
There's nothing I can do for her, okay?
Except keep anyone from joining her.
Now, what do we have?
Six-car pileup.
Eleven injuries. Four went over to County
and six are coming here.
All right, let's go.
Stay with me. How extensive?
Third degree. Forty percent, maybe 50.
Did you tube him?
- Airway's crushed. Couldn't do a cryc.
- Pronounce him.
- Hit the windshield.
- All right, that's a blowout fracture.
Get a C.T. Find out
what else he's got.
What's this?
O.D. Attempted suicide.
Give her to Simon. I'm interested in
people who want to live tonight.
- What's her term?
- She hit the steering wheel.
- How pregnant? Anybody know?
- She looks no more than six months to me.
- She's souring. Let's get it out.
- At six months?
It might have a chance, but
not in there. Look at her color.
It's still got a heartbeat.
Let's get it out of there.
- This requires consultation- - Yeah, and let's
order out for pizza while we're at it. Move.
There's a procedure in place
for terminating a pregnancy, Joe.
I'm not terminating a
pregnancy. I'm delivering a baby.
Get Prenatal
down here now.
It was the right call.
Delivering a technically unviable
fetus by Caesarean section...
without consultation
or permission of the mother-
Who was dead.
Not officially.
The baby's alive, Hugh.
I'm concerned, Joe.
So is the rest of the staff.
You refused to treat a suicide
today. I passed her on to Simon.
As though she were
unworthy of you.
Can we discuss this
tomorrow?
Since Emily's death, you have
been working around the clock...
seven days a week.
Think I'm losing my edge? Just the
opposite. It's getting too sharp.
You're starting to cut people
around here. You need time off.
You need to grieve.
I need to grieve?
Mm-hmm.
I am serious, Joe.
Take that time off.
Was it you
who reported me?
Passing on the suicide?
How is she doing?
She's waiting for a bed
on the psych ward.
- Why did you do this to me?
- Do what to you?
Bring me back.
Where were you going?
Someplace better.
Is that right?
I'll do it again too.
It's all I want now.
Well, unfortunately,
your heart disagrees.
It's waged quite
a battle tonight.
No one knows my heart.
Maybe that's why
it's still beating-
to give somebody
a chance to.
Let me tell you about that better
place you think you're going to.
You better be
damn sure it's there.
'Cause crappy as this
place is, it's all there is.
So go ahead.
Be my guest.
But when you never wake up again,
don't say I didn't warn you.
Hi, Father.
Time for a rebuttal?
'And on her footfall,
in rustle of leaves...
"her whisper on the wind...
she speaks from a place
beyond mortal pain. "
Hey, look who's here.
Joe!
Hey, you! You're just in
time to finish the toast.
Pour him a beer. Linda, can
I have another one, please?
Hey, Joe, "Rachel in Heaven" Remember
that poem, third-year lit class?
Remember? Yeah. To Emily.
To Emily.
How are things
in the hospital?
I don't know why we try
so hard to save them...
if they've got such a
wonderful place to go...
like "Rachel in Heaven. "
You can bet on that.
If anyone deserved
to go there, it was her.
Hear, hear. She was the
best of us. The best of us.
I don't know what the hell
she saw in you, though.
years to talk her out of it.
She was the best of us. And I
have no idea what she saw in me.
She saw the second best of
us. You were a great team.
She was the heart, you were the
mind. Together, you were unbeatable.
Where are you, Joe?
Nowhere.
I'm gonna go.
No, come on, man.
You just got here.
Like you said, Eric, I'm
a mind without a heart.
Joe, come on.
Joe, that's not-
Don't leave, Joe.
Buddy, that is not what I
meant. I know you didn't mean it.
But you were right on, buddy.
I love you anyway.
All of you.
Thank you
for coming today.
See ya.
Hey, Doc.
Hey, Miriam.
Sorry I missed the service. I didn't
want to cough all over everybody.
Was it nice?
I guess.
I couldn't handle it.
Well, then you're not
gonna do too good with this.
They needed somebody to sign for it. I
didn't want to leave it out in the rain.
It's a toy company
in Texas.
That'll teach her
to shop the Internet.
Yeah, that'll teach her.
You'd think a professor of law could
be more precise with her language.
It's all right.
You have a good night.
Hey, I saw through the kitchen
window Big Bird didn't eat again.
- Should he go back to the vet?
- The vet said Big Bird will outlive us all.
Hey,Joe, it's Hal.
I forgot to tell you we are
going on that white-water trip.
Gotta come,Joe! Don't leave
I sent you a packet, okay?
See ya, buddy! Love you!
Sound good, Big Bird?
You wanna go rafting
with my old college chums?
Nice to see you too.
Why is that funny?
I just don't picture you
with a beak, I guess.
All right. Well, just imagine soaring
around with me up there, flying.
If you do, you're on your own. Why?
Because eagles eat bunny
rabbits. I'm a vegetarian.
In your next life too?
Yes.
You mean, if you got a chance to come
back, you'd want to be earthbound again?
