The first 200 lines.
This is Anna. She's my son's main squeeze.
Do me a favor and get this young lady a cocktail?
Actually, I, um... I have to go.
What?
Hey, I'm sorry. Look, I know what you're thinking,
but I told you: Benny's not me.
We're wrong for each other, Kelly,
and I think we've been idiots not to see it.
He cracked a rib doing compressions.
You knew you were supposed to observe only, correct?
It was my order, sir.
You've been ordered to mandatory retraining.
Next shift.
Okay, so, you've done this before.
Are the quizzes open-book,
or should I invest in flashcards?
Um, I sort of erased that experience from my memory.
Disciplinary training is less like college
and more like traffic school.
Where are you going?
- Getting a seat. - In the back?
Morning, folks.
These are fine.
Sorry to drag you all in here
on such a glorious day.
I'm Edgar Flores, and welcome to Advanced Cardiovascular.
Wait. Is this 506 or 507?
It's 507.
All right. My bad.
Listen up. This is EMS Retraining A.
If you're here, it means you already screwed up
or pissed someone off once,
so for your own sakes, you better get wise right now.
There will be no talking, no texting,
no monkey business in my classroom.
You break those rules,
and it's back to IAS for the lot of you.
Understood?
Hi!
Connie.
Uh, welcome back. How was the trip?
- It was fine. -
Um, this is Marcy.
She was filling in while you were out.
Thought it would be good to keep her around a little bit longer.
You know, many hands make lighter work.
Hmm, do they?
Good luck.
Hi. It's Anna. Leave me a message
- and I'll call you back. -
Yeah. Hey. It's Kelly.
Um, I just want to talk.
Just trying to understand what happened.
I'm on shift. Call if you can.
Hey. So, a few of us were talking
about hitting up the lanes after shift.
You and Anna want to team up?
She's not returning my calls.
- You serious? - Mm-hmm.
- What did you do? - Wish I knew.
Squad 3. Vehicle pin-in. 1300 West Taylor.
There it is.
Damn it.
Transmission again?
Third call in a row it's been doing this.
Just forget it. Just pull over. We'll hoof it.
Cruz, you come with me. Tony, Capp, jaws and tool bag.
Got it.
- - That thing electric?
It looks like the car's still energized.
Yeah, we'll approach from the side.
Those body panels could be charged.
Help me! I'm... I'm stuck!
Just hang in there, okay? Just gonna make sure it's safe.
- We'll get you out. - Okay.
- -
- Whoa! Lieutenant! - Hey!
Aah! Aah!
- Hey! Capp, Tony, let's move! - Please!
- Coming in. - Please help me!
Please!
How do we cut this guy out without getting electrocuted?
We got to break the circuit from the emergency shut-off.
Where's that?
Uh, give me a minute and I'll tell you.
One wrong cut, body gets charged, we all get zapped.
All right, hey, bud, you sit tight.
Uh, okay, uh, we got to cut out the rear quarter panel,
find the main power cable,
and that connects the motor to the battery.
How do we know when we see that?
- Should be orange? - Beautiful.
All right. Let's go.
Is that it?
Yeah. Looks like it.
All right. Cable cutters.
All right, you guys, stand back in case this thing pops.
All right, let's get him out of there!
All right, got it. We're clear.
Jaws!
All right.
Give 'em a hand!
- Hey, still no good, Tony? - Nothing.
Squad 3 to main.
We're still on scene here at 1300 West Taylor.
We got a busted transmission. Requesting assistance.
Copy that, Squad 3. We'll send a team to your location.
Hang tight.
Hey, Cruz? Will you do me a favor
and just give me a shout when the service team gets here?
- I'll be back in a minute. - Yeah, you got it.
Hey, guys, I need your help with something.
- Shoot. - Marcy.
If we don't do something, Connie's gonna eat her alive.
Ah, the first moment I met that girl,
I gave her two shifts, tops.
- Exactly. That's why I think... - Oh, hold up. Come on.
Two shifts? Give her some credit. A month.
How long she lasts isn't really what we're talking about.
A month? Are you out of your mind?
I know Connie. No way she lasts a week.
- Guys, focus. - You sure about that?
You want to put your money where your mouth is?
Gladly. Ten bucks.
- Twenty. - Done.
You know, somehow I feel like we got off track here.
- Morning. - Morning.
Sorry to crash your digs.
Got assigned a temporary change of quarters
while Squad 3's tied up.
Good to have you.
- Wha... -
What's up?
Good to see you, man. You still floating?
Nah, pulled a permanent post here on 6 back in July.
Had to lock him down once we realized
- how much he sucks at Hold 'Em. -
Guys, Jason Kannell. Came up in the same neighborhood.
Oh, I bet you got some stories, huh?
Ooh. Sworn to secrecy.
But I'll tell you this: Matt was my inspiration
- for joining the CFD. - Nah.
- Seriously? - Once he snuck through
the academy, I knew I needed to apply.
Had to be around to clean up whatever mess he makes.
Am I right?
- Much appreciated. -
Help you with something?
Yeah. I'm looking for Anna Turner.
- I'm a friend. - Oh, she's not in.
Do you know when she'll be back?
She took leave yesterday.
Leave? For how long?
Didn't say.
- Did she say why? - Mm-mm.
But if you see her, can you do me a favor?
Sure.
Becca's been asking about her.
They usually start the day off with a story.
Do you mind letting her know that she says hi?
Yeah. Will do. Thanks.
When we hand over our trauma victim,
we're gonna keep in our mind the MIST protocol.
We're gonna describe the Mechanism of the injury,
the extent of the Injury itself,
report the vital Signs of the injury,
and after that...
anyone?
Gabriela Dawson?
- Sorry? - The T in the MIST protocol.
What does it stand for?
Uhh...
take 'em to the hospital?
- Is that a joke? - No. It's just
we do 20 hand-offs a shift.
I mean, at this point, we have a mind-meld
with the hospital intake staff.
There's no time for word games.
You can put your hand down now.
The T stands for Treatments administered.
Ahh.
Turn to page 232. Sepsis.
Psst. Psst. Hey, Marcy. Marcy, hey.
Hey. Are you okay?
I'm great. I just wanted to swing by
and just pass along a few pro tips
when it comes to dealing with Connie.
I don't follow.
How do I put this? There are ground rules, okay?
You don't ask questions, you know?
You avoid making eye contact.
She may perceive that as a challenge.
Brian, super sweet,
but I think you're overreacting just a tad.
I... it's not an overreaction. You just don't know her.
Is it too late to get in on the betting?
- Oh, no. - Okay. Okay.
Truck 81. Ambo 97. Trapped person.
