Dispatch.
This is Rescue 3.
I have a 55-year old white male.
Named Vieillard, Jean
Hemorrhage due to trauma
in the skull.
Glasgow Coma Score is 1.
Patient has ID in his wallet identifying him an organ donor.
Alert trauma and transplant team.
Copy that, Rescue 3.
Dad, you said that milk helps your bones..
and carrots help your eyes.
You know that.
No.
Really?
Didn't we talk about that once?
That was when I was six.
Ok, old lady.
Look.
What is it?
Four-leaf clover!
You know what this means?
Good luck.
Any boys?
No.
Is this part ok?
Not funny or tingly, anything like that?
How are we doing?
Good.
Really good.
I see no further loss of movement.
Anywhere.
And we're making slow progress on the blood samples...
Also, I got her approved
for the new treatment program
I was telling you about.
You're incredible!
How'd you make that happen?
State secret.
If I told you I'd have to kill you.
Will you?
Definitely.
I'd.. I'd do anything for her.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
So how's the other patient from the family?
Well, still ticking.
Looks like it's gonna be a happy birthday.
She told you it was my birthday.
Of course, any big plans?
No, I was wondering if you would want...
I would.
I didn't ask her out, I asked if she wanted
to celebrate with us.
What do you mean "finally"?
You liked her forever..
before you got sick even, I think.
This is your doctor, button.
You're blushing, daddy.
Ok, just get in the car.
We have become friends but that's it,
that's all we are.
Right, daddy, friends.
Help!
Somebody help!
My husband was shot!
Somebody help me!
Help!
I'm a paramedic.
What happened?
He's been shot.
How long ago?
You know, how long ago?
I could hear it.
Like it was in my head.
Like..headphones, like a stethoscope.
Can you hear them?
No.
You've been taking all the intervention medications?
Of course.
Drug use?
No.
Are you in caffeine or decongestants?
Have you been drinking?
No.
Terry, you had a heart transplant.
Post-operative stress is very common.
Well, that's what you keep telling me...
but this is the third time it's happened.
And it's been five months since my operation.
Doctor, Chelsea's here.
Thank you.
We can do some more tests.
Dig a little deeper.
It's gonna be fine.
Are you mad?
Why would I be mad?
I...stole a picture from your desk.
No, I'm not mad.
I love it. I so love it.
It's because you call me "button".
I can't remember the last time I went
to a patient's dad's birthday.
I almost forgot.
You didn't have to.
I know it happens to people who
turn out to birthdays without a gift.
Decapitation, laceration, pox on your family.
It's in the bible.
Really? What part?
The gospel according to Mary and my mother.
There's something else too.
I got the association to raise your
monthly subsidy.
We both know it's not getting any cheaper.
That's why I have a good job.
You'll never gonna get enough as Act Almighty Guy.
I just wanted to help.
You look flushed.
I'm seeing ailments, tomorrow I'm gonna have to tell
that my first kiss in years...
made my blood boil a little.
Can I have another piece of cake?
Kevin, Kevin Stanovic.
Yeah.
You helped out that boy in the
parking lot the other day?
Yeah.
What are you?, A reported or something?
Me?
Alright. Well, good talk.
Wait, I saw your name on my donor form.
Hey, I'm talking to you!
What did you say?
I wanna ask you about Jean Vieillard
Who are you?
I'm nobody, I just...
You were listed on my donor information sheet.
You're gonna tell me right now
who the f*** you are?
I'm nobody, man.
Who the f*** are you?, What do you know about Vieillard?
I'm nobody, man.
Just put it down.
Who talked to you?
Acherton?
Nobody talked to me.
Who's Acherton?
I'm not a monster.
I didn't know they were gonna
do what they did.
Ok, ok, I believe you.
F*** it, f*** it, you stabbed me, man.
No, no, I didn't.
Oh, you motherf***er.
Dad.
Why are you not getting dressed,
are you gonna take me to the school bus?
What?
No, no.
Don't lie, I know you are.
But I think it's ok, now that
you got like Liz.
Mom left us.
Sir, are you alright?
Hello?
Hey, it's me.
Liz?
I lost a patient today.
A young guy.
It shouldn't have happened.
I didn't try harder to save him.
I'm sorry.
-- You know these f***ing beaureucrats up here.
I didn't try hard enough, Terry
I could've pushed, you know,
I could've just kept going.
Sh*t, sorry.
Well, a paramedic was stabbed outside
the building last night.
Oh God..Did they find out who did it?
They think it's a homeless guy or something.
Really?
That's what they said.
Are you alright? You sound strange.
Terry.
-- Yeah, can I see you tonight?
Of course, yeah, I'll come by after I'm done here.
Okay.
See you then.
I don't know how you do it...
What? It is a complete fantasy about the British...
No, you're very beautiful.
Super smart.
Wailing coyote, that's me, super genius.
You got a great job.
-An important job.
-Do I blush in it?
Why are you interested in an IT guy?
I won't meet same people like you, Terry
I see you with Angie.
And all the trouble you've been through.
And when you think about it, it's hard
that you've had given up your life for her.
And you know I say...
I say:
Wow!That loser IT guy with a heart transplant
And also who've been down with crap genetic hands.
Wow, that guy is one motherfucking creature.
Did I use too much garlic?
No, it's just that...I'm not feeling a 100% right now.
I'm seeing Averman again tomorrow.
Yeah, about the scan?
If you feeling up to.., why don't you come and see me after?
You don't have to leave.
I had a killer day and you need to rest.
Maybe I'll see you tomorrow.
I'm not a monster.
I didn't know they were gonna
do what they did.
Hi, I'm looking for detective Van Doran.
Van Doran
Hi, detective.
My name is Terry, I was hoping to...
I want to ask you a question about a case that you're involved in.
A man named Veillard.
He was murdered.
Well, his wife was murdered too.
Do you know them or something?
We're close, yes.
Well, I'll eat along Chef Le Carr
you should meet me there.
Detective Van Doran?
Have a seat.
You've visited the Jean Vieillard crime scene?
Who the f*** are you and how do you know Vieillard?
I'm Terry Bernard, I'm just an old friend of Vieillard.
Old friend?...
It says here that there were no suspects.
But..Did you ever catch anyone?
No.
And...Acherton, Do you know Acherton?
Do you know who he is?
It says he was hit in the head
with a blunt instrument.
What does it say about his wife?
It didn't mention sir, why?
We didn't catch anyone.
I don't know who Acherton is.
And I won't help you because you obviously
never met Jean Vieillard or his wife.
And even if you did know what the f***
you were talking about...
you're not gonna make it right, do you?
Hello.
You better turn on your TV.
