before we get the tube out.

Open your mouth. We just gonna

Then we're gonna get

that tube out.

Relax. Let me just take off

some tape. Perfect.

- Slow breaths.

- We have a cuff link.

Here we go, bud. Ready?

One, two, three.

Take a big breath.

Big breath, big breath.

Big breath.

Take a big breath.

Okay. Relax, relax.

Slow breaths. She's just gonna

suction your mouth again.

Slow breaths, bud.

Good job. Can you say "Hi"?

Hi.

Okay, good job, good job.

We're gonna put this mask on.

Put that on. Relax.

All right. You can talk to him,

but he can't answer you, okay?

- Okay.

- Yes and no.

Okay? All right, buddy.

- Great job, great job.

- Good to go, kid.

- Hey, E.

- Mm?

You're sittin' on my leg.

Oh.

- Hi.

- Hi.

No talking. No talking.

I'm a tough guy.

No talking.

I know you're tough.

Is he in there tellin' 'em

about the bomber?

Yeah, I think so.

F***in' miracle.

My boy. F***in' hero.

You bet.

Sorta the same

kinda build,

but, like,

maybe a little taller.

But I looked him

right in the eyes,

so he's the same...

Was he young or old?

Young... he was young.

Yeah.

What do you remember

after the blast?

Uh...

There was, like, this smell.

Like, it smelled like...

Take your time.

Like the Fourth of July.

...is now, in fact, we know, dead.

All right, Dr. Schoenfeld,

thank you so much for joining us.

We really appreciate it.

Obviously, Dr. Schoenfeld,

limited by what he can say

because of the situation,

obviously,

this huge manhunt

being watched worldwide.

An individual, Suspect Number 1,

uh, now dead, we know.

F***in' A!

- Oh, my God!

- You son of a b*tch!

F***in' kill

that other son of a b*tch, too!

Jeffrey, I just met Carlos.

He's the guy

who saved your life.

Would you like a coffee?

I brought some...

I've got some... got some coffees.

Don't know what

I'm supposed to do.

I think everyone

in that hospital

is thinking that same thing.

Yeah.

We broke up about a month ago,

me and Jeff.

It's not the first time...

we usually get back together.

Not this time?

Doesn't show up for anything.

He's always late.

You know, he... he never wants

to leave his apartment.

I'm just fed up with it.

And then he shows up.

Sounded like

multiple assault rifle shots to me.

8:
15 p. m.,

a person is cornered

on a boat in a yard

in Watertown.

A suspect in the boat.

Hundreds of law enforcement...

- Hi.

- Hi.

Jeff, how you doin'?

So, Jeff, we have to do

the first dressing change today.

Okay, we're gonna take

these bandages off.

I'm not looking.

Things get too rough,

please let us know

and we can figure out

how to help you.

I'm sorry?

And did you

already pre-medicate him

- for the dressing change?

- Yep.

He's already gotten his oxy

and his dilaudid PO.

He has a PR in fentanyl

for breakthrough.

And I have plenty in my pocket.

Now some people like to look.

Some people

don't like to look at all.

No. I don't wanna

look at me now.

So, Marion, if you

can hold up the right leg...

- Okay.

- ...that would be very helpful,

and we'll unwrap 'em now.

All righty.

I'm gonna just lift ya up.

You're gonna feel my hands.

I'm sorry, hon.

So I'm just taking the tape off,

and I'm gonna unwrap

the Ace bandage first.

This shouldn't be too bad.

But if you have

any sharp pains or anything,

please let me know.

All right,

you're gonna feel my hands.

Tell me if you're ready.

Did that kick in yet?

- Doing okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

All right.

Almost done with the gauze.

F***.

You okay?

Yeah.

You let us know

if you need a break, okay?

You're okay.

Don't look at 'em.

I'm not lookin' at 'em.

Okay, now

this might be a little sticky.

- Looking at you.

- God!

Doin' great. Doin' great.

You're doin' awesome.

Okay, the dressing's off.

We'll give you a minute.

- Nice little breaths.

- Good job.

In your nose,

out your mouth.

You're doing so great.

That was the worst.

Getting the dressings off

is the worst.

Want a little more fentanyl?

Okay.

'Cause now we're gonna

take off the dressing

on the left side, okay?

Yeah.

You mind going

over there, Marion?

We're just gonna set up.

We're not touching anything yet.

We're just settin' up.

Just gonna shimmy

this down a little.

Okay.

All right, I'm gonna lift up,

one, two, three.

You're gonna feel this again.

Pretty much

just like the other one.

- Sorry, hon.

- Okay.

Do you want...

I have the fentanyl in my pocket.

Do you want me to give you that?

Yeah, yeah.

Let's give that to him.

All right, we're gonna take a break.

We'll give you

some more medicine.

Okay, let me just get to...

I'm just gonna work around you,

so I'm just gonna get to my IV.

We're almost done.

Now, same thing,

dried blood, big pull.

- One, two, three.

- One, two, three.

That's it, that's it.

Right here.

Hey.

Hey.

Was I asleep?

Yeah.

A good two hours.

You need a haircut.

- No sh*t.

- Mmm-hmm.

You need to wash it.

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

Still smells like...

You should have seen

the sign I made for ya.

What'd it say?

Had, like, 3D letters

and everything.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that.

- I'm so sorry.

- Hey.

Don't say that.

You don't owe me anything.

Yes! Yes!

What's that?

I don't know.

Maybe they caught the other guy.

Bye, Jeff.

We're so proud of you.

...hours ago

now seems to be finally over.

The last suspect

being searched for, police...

According to

Boston Police Department...

It's nice

they turned out for ya.

I think... I think he wants

to do it himself.

Yeah, okay.

I'm gonna lock you off, honey.

I'll lock you off.

Hold on. Okay.

You just let me know

if you wanna...

Thanks, Kevin. Thanks.

Take a picture with Erin for us.

Does it feel good to be going home?

Is Carlos Arrendondo your guardian angel?

They hated each other,

and that's why

Pete got busted for it.

'Cause Bob was using

his computer.

And Pete didn't rat him out.

And he... he almost

had to go to jail for that.

It was in the papers

and all that.

- Hey, listen, look at this.

- Hey.

Ain't that somethin'?

- Oh, my...

- Both sides.

"Boston Strong."

Let... we gotta wave.
