Original subtitles

Previously on Doc.

Rachel had a mammogram and they found a mass.

So, that's why you left early.

She asked me not to tell anyone.

Should I expect you to bring in some weasel

to start sniffing around about us?

- We'll let you know. - I have MDS.

And next week will be my last.

What happened, Michael?

We lost Danny.

And I blamed you for it.

Part of you still loves Mom.

Part of me always will.

Relationship falls apart,

people reach for things to make it hurt less.

I reached for work.

Your father reached for someone else.

- Morning. You leaving already?

- Well, it's a long drive. Wanna get on the road early.

You're anxious?

I... it's just weird.

I mean, one minute she's this tiny, little baby,

looking up at me with her giant eyes,

and now, she's...

Well, it is just orientation.

You've still got three months before she takes off, so...

Minimize all you want.

You blink and Mia will be off to college, too.

Wow, how dare you say that to me?

You know I'm still recovering from her first day of school.

I am just taking you down with me.

In the boyfriend job description,

that's near the top of the list.

Right after honesty, I guess.

I'm fine, Jake.

We're fine.

You need a lift over to Michael's?

Oh, they don't know about us, so they could see you.

Right.

- You lock up, okay? - Yeah.

See you in a couple of days.

You brought layers, right?

It's gonna be even colder in Chicago.

I've been packing for myself for like a decade.

And the last time we took a trip,

you forgot shoes, so maybe relax.

Hey, I am cool as the other side of the pillow, girl.

Yeah, right.

- Hi! - Hey, Mom!

- Good morning. - Are you excited?

To get there? Yes.

The drive? Not so much.

Come on!

What could be better than six hours in the car

with your two favorite people?

Right. Just glad I have my phone.

Ugh. Oh my God,

you're being the snarky teenager to push us away

because you're actually really sad you're leaving. Right?

- Nice try, Mom. And let's go! I want to get there!

Last week she was four years old

and I was teaching her to tie her shoe.

Tell me about it.

Yeah, I'm sure all of this is even harder for you,

'cause you missed so much.

How you doing with Joan?

That can't be easy either.

I doubt she's gonna live through the year.

I just hope she repairs things with Ethan.

And now you have to find someone

to sit in that chair again.

- I wish you were ready. - Oh?

You think I could do that job

without making people hate me this time?

I have no doubt.

But at least you'll be Chief Resident.

I've learned not to count my chickens.

Oh, come on.

Sonya's great but she's not you.

No one's you.

- Come on, Amy. Can you please just admit

that you like the bartender so we go can stalk him openly?

- I'm not stalking him! - Then what are we doing here?

This is a recon mission.

To see if he even likes me.

If he didn't like you,

he wouldn't give us free drinks every time.

Maybe he's into you!

I would hit that.

He's hot!

Uh, but he likes you.

- You think? - Any idea what his name is?

I am told it's Michael.

Oh, so you've been doing some recon without me.

- Don't be offended. - I'm not.

- Gina! - Enough of this!

We're doing it.

Welcome back.

Okay.

Which one of us do you like?

You.

I like you.

This is Amy.

And my work here is done.

Hi.

Hi.

Coffee shop ahead. You wanna stop?

Amy?

Sorry. Did you say something?

- You want a coffee? - No. I'm good.

Did you wanna stop?

No way!

Sorry. Annie just snapped the craziest selfie.

Who's Annie?

I think they met in the accepted student chat group.

It's hard to keep track. - Oh, I almost forgot!

I made a playlist

of songs from the old days.

You think you can tolerate that?

Connect it to the Bluetooth.

Do you remember this?

You used to have to hear this every day

on the way to school.

I'm snapping with my friends.

You don't need ear pods for that.

And scrolling social.

Wow, that seems like productive multitasking.

- I can leave one ear bud out. - Much appreciated.

Message from Jake.

Would you like me to read it?

Oh, my God, yes!

"Made reservation for Sunday night.

Miss you already."

- Who's that? - Uh...

I had a pretty good feeling.

- Feeling about what? What are you guys talking about?

Second new message from Jake. Read it?

No!

Maybe I'll just turn off the Bluetooth.

Mom?

I'm dating someone.

Seriously?

- Mm-hmm. - Who?

Jake Heller. From work.

He's the Chief Resident. I'm pretty sure you've met.

How long have you been together?

Uh, a few months before the accident

and since then, for a while.

So... before you were his boss?

Yes.

And now he's my boss.

So it evens out.

Wow, isn't he pretty young?

He's not that young.

And it's not 1950.

He's a good guy, Katie.

But I haven't seen anything of his.

Like at the condo.

No, we were trying to be discreet.

'Cause you thought I couldn't handle it?

No! I just wanted...

something for myself...

I guess.

You guess?

Do you guys have cell reception?

No.

We're in the forest.

You think you can handle

being off your phone for 20 minutes?

Oh, not if she has to talk to us.

I think I can handle it.

For 20 minutes.

- Katie, Katie, look. It's Wyalusing.

That place we went camping?

Yep.

Can we check it out?

Really?

It's so cold!

Come on, it'll be fun.

I thought we wanted to get to Chicago early.

I have good memories of it, Mom. With Danny.

Oh, sorry.

I don't remember. Obviously.

Just a quick stop.

At least one other person's brave enough

to be out here today.

You know, last time, I think we camped

by a stream down one of these trails.

Yeah. It was that trailhead there. I'm sure of it.

Oh, yeah, I think you're right.

That whole Jake thing kind of threw her, huh?

I think every kid wants their parents to get back together.

I just hope she doesn't think that's the only way

we can be okay.

I'm sure it'll just take her some time to adjust.

Hey, I have something else to tell you.

I decided to sell the house.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Does Katie know? - Yeah.

I mean, she's leaving, so... - Yeah. Of course.

When you moved out, you had no interest in the house so, I...

Yeah. No. I, just, um...

Yeah, just surprised me, that's all.

Sorry, sure it brings up some pretty big feelings.

You don't have to be sorry.

It can't be easy that my accident

changed all the rules for you.

Well, when it comes time to clean it out...

we can pack up Danny's room together.

If that's what you want.

It-it will be. Thanks.

What's wrong with people?

There's a garbage can right here!

You're gonna change the world, kiddo!

I think it's another mile to the top.

Look, I can't believe her stamina.

My legs are burning!

Oh, my God!

I think this leads to the spot

where Danny and I tried to build a dam!

It's so good to see her like this.

Talking about Danny with joy.

Yeah, we did a lot of work on that. In therapy.

Yeah? I never did thank you.

For being there for her.

For raising her.

- Oh, c'mon. It wasn't just me... - No, it was.

When it mattered, you were there.

I wasn't.

And she's amazing.

I won't argue with the amazing part.

Mom! Dad!

Sir!

Sir! Can you hear me?

Can you open your eyes?

Is he conscious?

No, but he's responsive to pain.

Pulse is weak. And there's a head wound.

Must be what knocked him out.

- His airway's open. He's breathing.

What do you think happened to him?

- His pupils are equal. There's no seizure activity.

Still no signal.

If we didn't have a signal on the road,

we won't have any in these woods.

His name's Cody Hansen.

No pre-existing medical conditions

indicated on the license.

Do you think he'll be all right, Mom?

I don't know yet but he's getting hypothermic.

What does that mean?

Means that if we don't get him warmed up

and inside that cabin, his heart will stop.

We don't know if he has any internal injuries.

I know. We have to be very careful when we move him.

Take this.

Doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while.

We gotta warm him up fast.

Even once we warm him up...

there's no way we can carry him to the trailhead.

So one of us is gonna have to go for help.

- I'll do it. - No.

It's freezing and it's not an easy trail to remember.

Dad, I can do this.

His pulse is weak, and he's freezing.

If his heart does stop,

we're gonna need two doctors here.

I'm not gonna have a panic attack,

if that's what you're thinking.

Well, how do you know that?

Because it's only cued by emotional stuff.

This is physical. I'm strong, and I'll be fine.

She'll be okay.

Okay, there's a gas station about 15 miles south.

You could get help there.

But if you go north, we had cell service,

like 10 miles back.

You should be able to call for help.

That's probably faster.

When you call the paramedics,

give them his name, his age, and his address.

Maybe they can find out his blood type

and any other medical information they might have.

Don't worry. I'm gonna run.

I'll be at the car in, like, 20 minutes.

- Be safe. - Love you.

See you soon.

His pulse is weaker.

We are gonna need a fire to warm him up.

This wood seems pretty dry.

It'll make a good one if we can get a spark.

I guess a lighter would be too much to hope for.

We have two matches.

Let's hope they weren't wet.

Okay.

Here it goes.

Ow.

Nice.

All right.

Michael.

Come here.

Smell his breath.

- Smells like alcohol. - Yeah.

Probably have a flask on him.

But if it was alcohol,

I would've smelled it when I stabilized his neck.

He's been injecting himself with something.

- He may be diabetic. - What if he's diabetic?

It's insulin.

His blood sugar's low, that's why he's in a coma.

He's gonna seize if we don't get him sugar fast.

I can't believe he didn't bring any chocolates or candy.

There was a trash can.

Katie put that beer can in it.

Maybe there's something in there.

No. No, no, no.

Cody! Breathe!

Breathe!

He stopped breathing?

Yeah, he's back but without sugar, he's gonna...

I got some. It's frozen but I can melt it down.

Look, he's still unconscious.

That liquid's gonna go straight into his lungs.

I know. But I can make it into a syrup,

then we rub it over his gums.

Okay.

Ow!

- His heart rate's dropping. How much longer?

It's thick enough now.

I just want to cool it down

so it doesn't burn his mouth.

Okay, we're good.

I made a wrong turn.

But I will go back and I will find the way.

There is no question.

I can recover from this mistake.

You know, you're not the only one

who wants to lock her in her room and keep her safe forever.

Wanting to and actually doing it

are two different things.

I've kind of smothered her.

In the years since, uh...

I hope you don't still blame yourself for the museum.

Of course I do.

And now you think you can anticipate

every bad thing that could possibly happen to her,

as long as you hold on tight.

Something like that.

It's a useful skill for running a hospital.

Maybe even being a doctor.

It's not a good way to go through life.

I'm well aware.

I guess it's a hackneyed cliché

to say you have to forgive yourself.

"Hackneyed" and "cliché" mean the same thing.

Right.

But I appreciate it.

Coming from you.

How come we didn't just sell the house after he died?

- I wanted to. You wouldn't engage.

And then after you left,

Katie didn't want any more change,

so we stayed.

That must have made it really hard for you.

Actually, it's...

It's the good memories that make it harder.

The Fourth of July parties.

Sleeping...

under the stars in the backyard.

Arguing with Danny about

whether the Milky Way is a galaxy or a candy bar.

That doesn't seem like you have any choice.

You can't move on there.

How long since you got him breathing again?

Uh, nine minutes.

- And how's his pulse? - Uh, we gotta give it a...

Wait.

His heart rate's rising. - Really?

- Great work, Michael! Amazing!

If we're right, he should wake up soon.

- We're gonna need some water. I'll get some snow.

His pulse is strong but his hands are still cold.

I mean, he should be warm by now.

Maybe the heat isn't getting to his core.

Or he's losing blood internally, going into shock.

You hear that?

That, like, high-pitched wheeze?

There.

Do you see that bulge compressing his trachea?

That's a hematoma.

Look, it's expanding.

He must be bleeding into it.

We need to drain it.

Oh, we can use his insulin needle.

Ugh, my hands are still numb.

I can't get a good grip.

Give it to me.

You haven't touched a patient in years.

Well, neither one of us has aspirated

a hematoma in a log cabin before.

Give it to me.

- Wait, I don't... I don't like your angle.

You're working around the sternocleidomastoid,

and if I tip his head back,

you'll have a clearer shot.

Well, we still don't know the extent of his injuries.

If he has a broken bone in his neck,

flexing it could sever his spinal cord.

If we don't drain this hematoma,

he's not gonna live long enough to find out.

There.

Go deeper.

Got it.

Good.

His trachea's relaxing.

His breathing sounds better.

Let's hope when he wakes up

he can still move his arms and legs.

Glucose is getting well absorbed.

His pulse is good, too.

He should've come out of it by now.

Unless we're wrong, and he does have a brain injury.

No way.

Glad you're so confident.

I'm gonna have more faith in the world today.

I found an engagement ring.

It was in his backpack.

Michael?

What if he wasn't alone?

I mean, guys don't carry these around unless

they're gonna do something with them, right?

Maybe that's why he didn't have any food with him.

Of course, because there was someone else with him.

With their own backpack.

Hello!

Is anyone out there?

Hello!

- You okay? - Yeah, fine.

It was a false positive.

Guess that's good, right?

I mean, it's not like we lost something, right?

We never had it.

Why don't we get you out of here?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm upset.

I mean, this wasn't what we planned

and I-I don't know.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

There's nothing wrong with you, Amy.

Everything is right with you.

I'm sure this isn't how you wanted to do this.

Michael...

Or where you wanted to do this,

and I know we've only been together 6 months,

but any time I think about the rest of my life...

Michael, please. Get up.

I know you planned on doing this

because you're an amazing, stand-up guy

who would never run away from his responsibilities

and now you're probably carried away

in the moment and thinking that I'm upset and...

That's not what this is.

I love you... - I love you, too.

But I'm not...

I'm not saying, "Never."

I'm just saying, "Not now."

Cody.

Hi Cody.

How are you feeling?

Where... where am I?

You're in a cabin, near the trail.

You hit your head.

Do you remember what happened to you?

We crashed in the snowmobile.

The good thing for you is I'm a doctor.

So can you wiggle your toes for me?

That's good.

And now your fingers?

Good, that's great.

Where's Rina?

- Is that your girlfriend? - Did you find her?

My husband, my... uh, yeah, he went to look for her.

Tell me what happened.

I hit a tree.

Her leg was all messed up.

I walked down here to get help.

- No, no, no, no, you... hey! - She needs help!

- You can't get up. If you move...

- Her leg was bent. - Listen to me.

Until we get X-rays, we don't know how badly hurt you are.

So I need you to stay calm and be still.

She's still up there.

- Listen to me. My daughter was with us.

She's 18, she's very competent and very tough.

And she ran to get help.

So the ambulance will be here really soon.

But she was in so much pain and it's so cold.

And I told you, my husband went to look for her.

And he will find her and he'll bring her back here.

Hello?

Help me!

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

My name is Michael Hamda. I'm a doctor.

What's your name? - Rina.

Okay, Rina. I'm just gonna check your pulse first. Okay?

Cody found you? Where is he?

Yeah, he found us down the trail.

We're gonna get you to him.

Now, let me have a look at this leg.

Think that's the main attraction.

- Oh, sense of humor intact. You got that going for you.

Okay, your ankle's dislocated.

It's probably broken too.

There's no pulse in your foot,

which means the artery is crimped off.

Sounds bad.

I just need you to brace yourself. Okay?

- Should I count to three? - Yeah.

Here we go. One...

Sorry. - You didn't make it to two!

It was the best way to have you not flinch.

Now, I'm just gonna make you a splint. Okay?

- Out of that? - Trust me.

911. What's your emergency?

Hi. Um, I was hiking with my family,

and we found someone hurt on the trail.

His name is Cody Hansen. He's 29.

Okay, dear. Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

And what's your name?

I'm Katie.

Okay, Katie. I'm Candace, and I'm gonna help yo.

Just a few questions: Are you with Cody now?

No. I had to hike up the trail to get a signal.

I'm like 12 miles up the road from the trailhead.

And where is he?

I can't really describe it.

It's up the Sentinel Ridge Trail a ways.

Can you send a helicopter?

Trees are too thick to land there.

We can send an ambulance,

but the paramedics would have to hike in.

I can lead them to where he is!

Okay. Can you meet the ambulance at the trail?

Yes.

Nearest one's about 40 minutes out.

They'll see you there.

Oh, and if you could try to look up his medical records.

My parents are doctors and they said you could find

some information that would be helpful.

And it's just the one injured person?

Is that right? Just Cody?

Yeah. Just Cody.

Rina. Rina?

Yeah.

Gotta stay with me, okay?

So cold.

I know.

But we have a fire at the cabin, so just hold on.

I'm here. Just-just tired.

I know.

That's why I need you to talk to me.

Tell me where Cody is. - Cody?

- Say it with me, Rina. Cody's at the cabin.

- Uh-huh. - Cody's at the cabin!

Rina, say it!

- C-Cody's... at the cabin. - Good.

- He was... - Keep talking.

He thinks I don't know.

Don't know what?

- About the ring. - That's great.

Now tell me what kind of wedding you want.

- I don't care. - Sure you do.

Big? Small? Outdoors?

Hotel ballroom?

Romantic.

Oh, there's nothing like a wedding, Rina.

The promise of your whole life ahead of you.

I do.

All your hopes and dreams,

everyone you love there to cheer you on.

That's nice.

You're gonna have a life with Cody.

A long life.

Say it.

A long life.

And kids? You want kids?

- Yeah. - How many?

Come on, Rina! How many kids do you want?

At least two, right?

One of each. A boy and a girl.

That's the best.

Oh, come on. Please, Rina. Stay with me. Rina!

What if this is the universe sending us a message?

I mean,

if ever there was a sign that we're cursed.

I don't think the universe sends us signs.

Things happen,

and we decide what we make of it.

And if your husband doesn't find her in time?

Or your daughter

doesn't find her way out of the woods to get us help?

You can't think like that, Cody.

You can't.

Your daughter.

She didn't even know Rina was hurt, right?

When she left?

They're only gonna send one ambulance.

Oh.

It's my fault we were even here.

She's the one who loves snowmobiling,

that's why I wanted to do it here.

She's not going to die, Cody.

My husband will figure it out.

You can't know that.

I know one thing.

He never gives up.

If something is important to him, he is relentless.

No matter what's thrown in his way.

Sounds like you really love him.

There's nothing better than a good marriage, Cody.

If you can stay with it

and work through the hard times,

there is nothing better.

And you are gonna have that.

With an amazing story of how it started.

What's your story?

With your husband?

- Rina? - She's hypothermic.

Right ankle dislocation.

Status post reduction in the field.

Rina! Rina?

Is she gonna be okay? - She'll be okay!

Rina?

She's... you said she was fine.

Rina, talk to me, okay?

Rina, it's okay, baby! I love you!

Let me get her leg up.

She's not staying!

Rina, talk to me, please!

Michael, you need that.

Give us a minute, Cody.

He got her here just in time.

911. What's your emergency?

Hey, why is she still asleep?

It's been like 25 minutes.

It's just taking her body a little while to recover.

It's normal, Cody.

I should have known when I saw that ring.

It cost us so much time. - No, Michael.

You saved her.

Do you hear that? - Yeah.

If there's only one ambulance, she gets it. Okay?

C-Cody?

Rina!

I love you, baby. I love you so much!

I love you too!

It's okay, there's help coming.

It's almost here.

It's just through there!

Katie!

Thank God!

Second victim's female, early 30s.

Joint dislocation.

The status post reduction in the field.

- Name? - Rina Simmons. 32 years old.

- Hi, Rina. Any underlying conditions?

- No. - Do you know your blood type?

A-negative.

How did you know we needed two ambulances?

Two coats in the car.

When I saw that, I got back on the highway to call 911.

Brookens, stay on the leg.

Trammel, C-collar and backboard for him!

Both suffered from hypothermia, now rewarmed.

- Good job, docs. Almost as good as the kid.

We never doubted her.

- We made it, baby. You see that?

We're gonna be okay. We made it.

Cody, do you want to take this with you

or do you want us to bring it to you later?

Hospital's not the most romantic place,

but I'm not waiting.

Don't wait.

It doesn't matter where you do it.

The romantic part comes from here.

I just hope that I can have a family like yours someday.

- Hey. - Hey!

- All checked in? - Mm-hmm.

I met my host.

She's from Minneapolis too,

she actually lives like three miles from us.

- That's nice! - Assuming you like her.

I'm always gonna need you guys.

You know that, right?

We're always gonna be there for you.

Oh, this is gonna be so good for you. Come here.

It's just orientation, right?

- Katie Hamda? - Annie!

Oh, you're finally here!

Oh, come meet everyone, you're gonna love them.

Okay.

See you tomorrow!

Call us if you need anything!

I guess she's ready.

Yeah.

What are we supposed to do now?

Pretty sure the parents are supposed to drink.

Well, I gotta say, you were pretty impressive

out there in the wilderness.

It reminded me of my ER rotation during residency.

You had some pretty crazy days

in the Internal Medicine Unit too.

I miss it.

I miss all of it.

So, I don't remember what made you veer

into the whole master of the hospital universe, anyway.

Besides needing to be in close proximity to people like Max?

You do a lot of good, Michael.

You do!

It is a thankless job and you're great at it.

Some days it's really hard

to tell what winning looks like.

And you've got an ex-wife who's a bit of an Achilles heel.

I mean, in the job department.

Not just the job.

So do you think Cody is gonna propose at the hospital?

It didn't work very well for me.

You got the girl in the end.

I got the girl in the beginning and the middle.

I wish I understood better

why I ran away.

You were always afraid

a part of you couldn't do it.

I'm gonna grab a quick shower.

But the food should be here in 10 minutes.

I'm glad you're staying for dinner.

Me too.

You want something to drink?

Uh, no. I'm good.

So, when you factor everything in,

the price makes sense.

This is the kind of place you only buy once.

A forever home.

Baby.

You don't like it?

I love it.

I just never thought that I would have all this.

I mean, a man like you,

a family,

a normal life.

I know.

- If my mother could see me now. - I think she'd be proud.

I just don't...

want to make the same mistakes

that she did.

You won't.

I'm just so grateful for you.

And I'm really sorry

that I didn't say yes

that day, at the OB.

You heard what the realtor said.

It's a forever home.

Hey!

Hey!

So, how'd it go?

Ah, it was an adventure.

Yeah? 'Cause you didn't really say much in your text.

- It's a long story. I'll tell you when I see you.

- Okay, yeah. Um, is Katie over there?

No. She's at Michael's.

Uh, okay.

Should I come over?

Actually, I am so tired.

It was a long couple days.

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

- Okay. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah.

See you tomorrow. You have a good night.

Night.
