The Gilded Age

- Get up! Hyah!

- Mr. Russell, you're nearly home.

Get up!

Hyah!

- Get up! Hyah!

Get help!

- Come, quick! Quickly! Come outside! Come!

Quickly, come!

- Get the mistress now. - Here, give me a hand.

No time to waste.

- Bring him in. - Take him upstairs.

Get this approved quickly.

Be careful there.

- Whitman, open the dining room.

What happened?

- Delivery man came into the office with a package,

and then he just started shooting.

Fetch blankets and a pillow!

- I-I'll get some ice and towels.

- Is he breathing? Please tell me he's breathing.

I can feel a pulse.

- Is there anything I can do? - Uh, g-go fetch Dr. Logan.

Go.

- There's a doctor in our house right now.

Then bring him here!

- I should tell you he's colored.

- What do I care? Go get him.

And send for Mr. Larry.

- There's a secretary who was shot, and I think he's dead.

- My God. Go back to the office and deal with it.

And do you think you can keep the police away for now?

- I think so. - Okay.

Stay with me, my dear.

George, please, please, I beg you, stay with me.

- He's been shot? - Go at once.

Be as quick as you can. - I need my bag.

- Go. We'll bring it over to you.

- Is he still alive? - He is.

The doctor is on the way.

- But will he survive? - Maybe.

I don't know.

- What's happening? - Mr. Russell's been shot.

- What? Who by? - I don't know.

Dr. Kirkland was here to see me, so he's gone to help.

I said I'd take his bag over. - Can you let me do that?

I need to be with Larry. I need to be with them all.

Of course.

- Tell my aunts where I've gone.

I'm Dr. William Kirkland. May I?

Yes, please.

Mr. Russell, can you hear me?

- Can't you stop the pain? - No, it's good.

It's good that he feels pain. I need to assess his wound.

I need some clean water, ice, and towels.

They're on the way.

- You're going to be all right, Mr. Russell.

I've seen many, many gunshot wounds.

- Where do you want these? - Um...

- Here. - Uh...

Thank you.

I need another set of hands to maintain pressure.

Show me what to do.

- Press down here to stop the blood flow.

Mrs. Russell, please. - Yes?

Yes. - Talk to your husband.

- It's going to be all right. You're going to be all right.

- I need you all to hold him down, please.

- Hicks, hold his right arm. - Yes, sir.

Barrett, get his legs.

Look at me. Look at me.

- I feel the bullet. It's near the left ventricle.

Seems to be stuck on his rib.

I'm going to open him up.

Can you hand me the forceps when I say?

Yes.

- You're going to feel some pressure, Mr. Russell.

Focus on your wife. Can you do that?

- Don't worry. You're in good hands.

This will hurt.

Keep blotting the blood so I can see.

Forceps.

Shh, shh, shh.

The bullet didn't splinter. We can thank God for that.

- What's happening? Why is he shaking?

He's going into shock.

He's febrile.

Let's get some ice to bring his temperature down.

- No, no, stay with us. - It's all right.

It's all right. - Stay with me. Stay with me.

Please, please, you have to save him.

Please! Please, Doctor!

[George groaning, Bertha sobbing]

- What's going on? Why are you up so early?

- We've never been to bed. - Mr. Russell's been shot.

Miss Marian stayed there all night with Dr. Kirkland.

He's been shot?

And why would they send for Dr. Kirkland?

- They didn't. He was visiting Miss Scott.

He went over to see if he could help.

- It's a miracle that he was here.

I only pray you're right.

- He'll be more comfortable upstairs in bed.

Of course.

What are you doing?

- Dr. Logan, we sent for you hours ago.

Where have you been?

- Mrs. Strawder had her twins, and one of them was breech.

Who are you? - Dr. William Kirkland.

- Doctor? Where did you study?

Howard Medical School.

Don't try to speak.

- I removed the bullet. There were no fragments.

Tied up vessels to stop the bleeding.

Then I packed the wound with iodine and cotton.

- What did you give him for pain?

- I didn't have anything in my bag.

- He was just visiting a house across the street

when it happened.

- Take this to the pharmacy. - Church.

Is he going to survive?

There is a risk of infection.

Still, it seems that--

What did you say your name was? - Dr. Kirkland.

- It seems that Dr. Kirkland may have saved his life.

Uh...

It's very fortunate that he was nearby.

- Thank you for all you've done.

And thank God you were here to do it.

I trust we can count on your discretion.

Church, please make sure Dr. Kirkland gets home safely.

- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you.

- This way, Doctor. - Thank you.

Where is he?

What's happened? - Your father's been shot.

Where have you been?

- They didn't give me the note until this morning.

Have they sent for the police? - No, they don't want to.

They don't want anyone to know.

- What are his chances, Dr. Logan?

- Better than they might have been.

But now all we can do is pray.

- He seems to be sleeping peacefully.

- That's a relief.

- My mother told me what you did.

You helped save my father's life.

Thank you.

- I would do anything for you...

and for your family-- you must know that.

- And yet you called off our engagement.

- I'm sorry. I was wrong.

I should have listened.

Jack told me that he was with you that night,

and nothing happened.

- I told you the same thing and you didn't believe me.

- I'm willing to apologize, but you know my story.

I've trusted men before-- - And there we have it.

- I'm not the only one at fault here.

You lied to me.

I did that to protect you.

- And look where that has gotten us.

I can't hear this right now.

My father could be dying.

- Of course. I'm sorry.

You should be with your parents.

- I'll have Church see you home.

I can see myself home.

Thank you, Boles.

- How are you holding up? -

I wish the boat could go faster.

I want some more news.

We haven't heard anything about my father's condition since--

since we got that cable in Southampton before departure.

I know it was vague...

but at least it sounds like he's recovering.

Well, I'm happy for that.

- It'll be good to see your family again.

Yes.

I'll be glad to see them.

But I know that my home is Sidmouth now.

Thank you for that.

- You've brought a light to the place

that was sorely needed.

- Do you really mean for Sarah to find her own home?
