- Mayday, Mayday, Mayday,
Winnipeg Centre,

this is SkyMed 922.

We are coming in fast
with no flaps.

[plane crash lands]

[tree cracking]
- Oh, shit!

- Okay, whoa!

[screaming]

[groans]

[engine roars]

[Wheezer] Look,
I know you don't wanna

put a label on this, but
I still care about you, Hayley

and I don't know if I can do
whatever this is

and not care about you.

[Hayley] I don't know if I'll
ever feel complete

until I'm a mom too.

Wheezer, I love you.

- I love you too, Hayley.

[Hayley] I thought I needed
to have a family,

but it's not who you're
related to. It's who you choose.

[Marianne] And you were right,

nursing is different
in the North.

I've already put
in a word suggesting

you replace me
as the new chief nurse.

- What happened? What's wrong?

[Wheezer] It's Jeremy.
I'm so sorry, Crystal.

[Crystal] We were supposed
to be together. I knew that.

I've always known that.

What if Jeremy died not knowing
that I love him?

[Hayley] Crystal, he knew.
He knew how you felt about him.

And I think he felt the same.

[Stef] You can never let
the job get personal.

No!

[tearfully] With the kind
of stuff that we see,

if you get attached,
it feels like your whole chest

will just crack open
from having to care so much.

However, I realize now that
sometimes the only way

that you can be there for
someone is to just be there.

[Lexi] I love you, Stef.

[Stef] I'm so proud
of you, Lex. Always.

[Chopper] No!

[engine whirring]

[clanging]

[Marianne] There's a new
medevac base being established

on Vancouver Island, and they've
asked me to go set it up.

[Chopper] Oh, you're...
you're leaving.

[Marianne] I guess we never had
very good timing.

Did we, Snack Bauer?

[Chopper] I want my next
adventure with you.

You make me want to be better,

and I can't let you go without
finding out what this is.

I am coming to SkyMed Pacific
with you,

if you'll have me, Marianne.

- Go, go, go, go, go!

[explosion]

[Nowak] SkyMed has given me
so much, Tris: my dream,

my friends, the love of my life.

And I think it's time to
move on so that someone else

can have those things, too.

[Tristan] You getting your
dream job at AC

right when I get a job offer
from Sick Kids?

Gonna be doing different
jobs in Toronto, Nowak.

[Nowak] This is where we
started, Tris.

This isn't where we stop.

[Tristan] We'll figure
it out together.

[Nowak] It's standard for each
pilot to receive

their own set of gold bars,
Captain Martine.

And I told Wheezer
you have to have mine.

That way we can fly together,
even when we're apart.

[Wheezer] Just us now.
We better

put some ads in the paper,
get some new recruits up here.

[Crystal] The people we love
never leave us.

Even if we're apart, we'll
always be here for each other.

[Hayley] We take care
of our own.

[engine roaring]

[bright, whistling music]

- Are you sure this
thing is safe?

- Absolutely. Heavy wall
PVC tubing,

reinforced wood supports.

My cousin checked it all
out. He's an engineer.

- I thought he didn't
finish school?

- It's a slide, Jimmy.

As long as it points down,
there isn't much to it.

[grunts]
[water rushes]

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

[crank creaks off]

Come on!

[upbeat music]

- Are you sure
that's enough water?

Seems like a lot of
friction here.

- You kidding? I plugged
this into the municipal line.

We got pressure for days.

[grunts]
[water rushes]

[Jimmy screams]

[scream echoes down tube]

[grunts]

[loud echoing clunk]

[music stops]

[Jimmy] Vern, I'm stuck!

There's no water! I'm dry!

- Hang on!

[quirky music]

[grunts]

Shit! I might need some
WD-40 for this too.

Wah!

[echoing grunts]

[loud crash]

[Vern] Unh!! You're right.
It is dry in here.

Jimmy? Jimmy?

- I'm just saying,
keep your expectations low.

- Too late. My expectations
are already super high.

I mean, it's always been
good before.

Why would it be
any different now?

- Even if we both
really want it,

it might change things.

We're opening it up.
We're bringing new people in.

Could change our dynamic.

Look, big crew turnovers
never go smoothly.

- I know, but I've already
gotten a ton

of really great resumes.

I mean, the documentary
raised a lot of interest.

I think we're gonna have
a huge turnout this week.

- Chopper, Marianne,
Tristan, Nowak, Bodhi, TJ.

We lost some really
special people.

And even with new ones
come in...

SkyMed might not
feel exactly the same.

[Hayley] Even with the new
hires and the new aviation

management group, it's still
always gonna be SkyMed.

I still think we could have
told the AMG about

the new staff, though.

- No, it is always better
to ask forgiveness

than permission with management.

- They've barely paid any
attention to us.

They're so busy getting the
Pacific base off the ground.

- Yeah, and I want to keep
it that way.

Sneak in these new hires
before they remember we exist.

Ohh!!

Oh, another big turnover.

But I guess that's what
this place is.

They come here, they grow up...
they leave.

- Well, you didn't leave.
- Maybe I haven't grown up yet.

- Hmm.
- But you haven't left either.

- Yeah, because SkyMed
is my family.

- SkyMed is your family? Yeah.

- Mm-hmm. Okay, there might be
a certain chief pilot

worth hanging around for, too.

[upbeat music]

[pagers beeping]

- You ready,
Chief Nurse Roberts?

- Ready, Chief Pilot Heaseman.

- I was not ready for this.

- Jimmy? Vern?
How ya doin' down there?

[Vern] I got some road rash

and my one arm isn't bent
the right way!!

But when I hit Jimmy,
I kinda knocked him out.

- Possible head injury.

Could be looking
at spinal injuries, too.

- You know, professionals,

they usually build
exit panels in these.

[Vern] What's that?
What are those for?

- Look, I don't think I'm gonna
be able to cut through this.

I think I need to go to the
bottom and try and pull him out.

- Okay.

[curious music]

- Vern, I wanna stabilize Jimmy
before Wheezer pulls you out.

So if I send you down
a C-collar,

you think you could use your
good arm to put it on him?

[Vern] Yeah! Pro'bly!
- Great.

[Vern] Got it!
- Wrap it under his chin

and use the straps to stabilize
it as best you can.

[Vern] Okay! Hey, I could
probably use

the rope to pull myself up!

- No, no, don't do that!
It's tied to the--

[crank creaks]
[water rushes]

[Hayley screams]

- That doesn't sound good.

[echoing shouts]

- Whoa!
[groaning]

[all coughing and panting]

- Why is it always naked guys?

- See? I was right.

Same old SkyMed.

[upbeat music]

[plane roars past]

- Crystal. Hey, Nurse Crystal?

- Could I actually
get mine to go?

- It is you!
- Thanks.

- I haven't seen you
in ages, Crystal.

- Hey, Franklin.

Yeah, I've just been
really busy.

I start my residency
in the ER tomorrow.

- Yeah, yeah, I've been
super busy too.

Yeah, my band got
back together. I play bass.

- Cool. Listen, I really
need to study the six P's

of perfusion for acute limb
ischemia tomorrow.

Um, it's pulse,
pallor, paralysis...

- Sure, maybe I could take you
out sometime?

My band's got some gigs. Yeah.

[peanut clatters to floor]

- Pain! Geez, I would love to,

but I'm just slammed with
SkyMed and my residency, so...

- Sure, sure, but I mean,
come on.

It's been a year since
Jeremy and now TJ's gone too.

[gulps]

[choking]

- Franklin, are-are you okay?

- Uh-uh.

- Okay, I'm gonna do
abdominal thrusts.

[small grunts]

- Whoa. Let's call an ambulance.

- I'll do compressions.
You do jaw thrusts.

- I'm sorry, who are you?

- Xavier. Zay. No one calls me
Xavier, but my mom's assistant.

- Right. I'm...

- Crystal. I know.
I saw the documentary.

Chief Nurse says
I'm with you today.

And three and four and...
[Franklin coughs]

There it is.
[peanut clatters to floor]

You forgot poikilothermia,
by the way.

It's the 6th P
of limb ischemia.

30-year-old amateur
pickup artist.

Obstructed airway after
a run-in with a peanut.

We removed the obstruction,
but his chances with the girl...

DOA.

[Hayley] So, you met Zay.
What do you think?

- He's cool. Cute.
Not my type, but...

- I meant what do you think
of Zay as a nurse?

- Oh! Um... I mean,
it's too soon to tell.

All I've seen him handle
is a choking rampy.

It's not even a Tuesday
morning around here.

- Today's a special Tuesday,
because tomorrow is the big day.

- Hayley.

[tender music]

[Crystal chuckles softly]

[Crystal] I'm only
technically a doctor.

It won't be official
until I finish my residency.

I still got four years.

- Yeah, but you worked hard
for that technical title,

Dr. Highway.

- I just wish Jer
could see this.

- He does.

I'm just glad TCH is letting
you count your SkyMed hours

towards your emergency
medicine residency.

I seriously don't know what
I would do without you, Crys.

I mean, I'm still new
at this chief nurse thing

and with all the new hires
coming in...

- You're gonna be great.

- I've never had this big of
a responsibility before,

and I just really wanna be
good at it, Crys.

I mean, SkyMed's my family.

- And that's why
you'll be great.

[sighs]

- Okay, so I need to find
two new medics

to replace Tristan and Marianne.

I'm gonna fly with all
the applicants personally,

but I would love it if you
and Stef weighed in on them too.

- And what about the new pilots?

- Wheezer and Lexi
have a little bit

of a different approach.

- I will trade you
the cowboy for Maya.

- Maya's only got 300 hours.

You're taking a risk,
Training Captain Lexi.

Yeah, I'll tell you what.

I will take Stiles and Cowboy,
and you can have Johnson.

- Not Johnson. He got all his
hours on a rental

beating up the circuit.

- Lexi, your dad's RCAF.
You know

you gotta take every
advantage you can get.

- My dad taught me how to fly.

He didn't pay for me to joyride
in a 172.

Why don't you want Johnson?

- Because I want the 500 hours

in a clapped out grooming
AG cat cowboy.

You cannot beat
farm kids for work ethic.

- I prefer training and
discipline,

like former cadet Maya Chang.

- Right, top cadet, former top
of her class in flight school,

a mini Lexi, respectfully.

- Oh, hello.

[kissing]

Babe!
[giggles]

- Oh no, there is only one
Lexi and she is mine.

[laughs]

[Stef] Babe, you want a coffee?

- I will pass.

We got a bunch of greenhorns
coming up to compete

for a spot to replace Nowak,

Chopper, and TJ.
- Nice.

- Yeah, we got a little wager
going on to see

who can get the most new pilots
on the final roster.

We're each evaluating
a group of newbies.

- And when I win, I get my
choice of first officer.

- Well, I think what she meant
to say

was when I win, but...
- Huh. Isn't it kind of cruel

to be running a pilot's
Hunger Games?

- If all I had to do to get
a job out of flight school

was compete with nine other
pilots for a week,

I would have been ecstatic.
- Uh-huh!

- All right, I will keep
Johnson. But I'm gonna need

two first place picks
in exchange.

- Fine. Pfft, I'll take
Johnson, but I get Maya.

- Mini Lexi's yours.

Cowboy's mine.
[both chuckle]

[Stef] Wheezer seems pretty
confident with his picks.

- Don't worry.
I got the best pilots.

- Yeah, you did,
Captain Martine.

Fit check, girl,
show me the goods.

- Okay, so, you know,
I got my dad's headset.

- Mm-hmm.
- And Nowak's four gold bars.

- Oh, yeah, let me get that.

- I know he gave me these so
we could still fly together,

but I miss him.

Nowak and I have always flown
together since we were 15.

- But hey, I know that you miss
your cranky Polish bestie.

But... still have me.

- You're my sexy girlfriend,
not my nerdy plane friend.

- Mm-hmm.
- It's different.

- What about Wheezer?

You two seem to be getting
along great,

and he made you
training captain.

- Yeah, but he's my boss.
- Yeah.

- I just wish Nowak
was still here.

[yawns]

- See? I start talking about
planes and you start yawning.

- No, it's... babe, it's not
that, okay?

This is my third
double shift this week.

- When was the last time you
took a break? Got some sleep?

- Pfft, not until they hire
the new medics.

But if you wanted to take
a break and not sleep,

I know a broom closet.

- Hmm. Girl, you know I like
to take my time with you.

- Oh, is that so?

[kissing]

[pagers beep]

- Unh. Always gotta do that.

Definite rain check.

- Okay.
- Okay? Get outta here.

[Lexi] Welcome to SkyMed,
Nuggets. I'm Training Captain

Martine. And what you lucky
little cones have here

is an unprecedented opportunity
to walk into the right seat

of a King Air 200.

Now most pilots go through
years of sweat and training

to get to where you're
standing now.

And all you gotta do is make it
through the next week.

And it is my job to squeeze
all those years

of sweat and training into it.

Birke.

Johnson.

Those boots are filthy, recruit.

Hit the polish.

- Seriously?

- Fix it and try again.

[Lexi] Let's see if we can find
someone who does know

how to put a uniform together.

Where is former recruit
Maya Chang?

- Present, ma'am.

- Maya Chang?

Top Air Cadet, Maya Chang?

- Did some of my sparkles
fall off?

- I don't know what squadron
you came from,

but in mine,
we respected the uniform.

No personalizations, or the only
way you'll be flying

is when I kick your ass straight
out the hangar. Understood?

- Understood, ma'am!

- Exceptional training pilots

will finish this week
in a right seat.

But since you greenhorns

don't even know how
to dress yourselves,

you'll start under the hood.

Time to learn refueling
and oil checks. Let's go!

[Crystal] Pop quiz, hot shot.

Boat propeller accident.
What injuries can we expect?

- Oof, amputations,
head injuries, fractures,

internal bleeding, drowning.

Pop quiz, hot doctor.
Are you single?

- What?

- Who's TJ? That rampy he said
he can ask you out

now that TJ is gone.

- That's not... and TJ
and I were never...

Uh... TJ is on leave visiting
his niece in Australia.

Um, it's crucial that
the patient is stable

before we get on the plane.
So, how would you--

- Hook up a life pack, secure
an airway, start an IV.

I mean, no offense, but this
stuff is kind of basic.

And you're a fancy
ER resident now.

Aren't you kinda slumming it,
going out into the field?

- No. That's why
I became a doctor.

It's never slumming it
to help people.

[man] Hey, she's over here!

[woman groaning]

[Crystal] Hi, Sonya.
I'm Crystal. This is Zay.

We're from SkyMed.

- God, they shouldn't even
allow motorized boats

on this lake.
I-I tried to get away, but...

- Let me have a look here.
[blood spurts]

Severe lacerations.

She's got a bleed. We need a--
- Tourniquet. Got it.

[tense music]

[woman groans]

I can hold pressure.
- Okay, good.

I'll start an IV
for fluids and meds.

- I'm supposed to do
a triathlon next week.

Wh-wh-what's gonna happen
to my leg?

- Hey, if you're doing a
triathlon, you must know

about bikes, right?
- Yeah, I like riding

a lot more than swimming
right now.

- Bet you got a pretty
fancy ride, huh?

- Yeah, I-I have a carbon frame
road bike

with a Shimano 105 groupset.
- Oh, okay.

[squelching]

- There's a lot of bleed through
even with the tourniquet.

We're still two hours away
from Winnipeg.

- We can't wait that long.
She'll bleed out.

- If I can find the bleed,
I could suture the vessel,

but...
[blood spurts]

...I can't even see
where to suture.

- What if we try epinephrine?

- Epi is a vasoconstrictor,

but if we give
it intravenously--

- So, we give it topically.

They use it
in endoscopic surgery.

It won't stop a bleed this big,

but it might stop enough
for you to be able to see.

- Yeah, let's do it.
[woman] Will that work?

- I've been thinking about
getting a bike for work.

I hear there's some great trails
up here. What do you think?

Will a roadie cut it for both?

- You should get two bikes.

- Oof, not on my salary.

[panting]

- Then, for trails,
you're gonna need a hardtail.

[sharp exhale]

For a commuter, you want to go
full rigid,

maybe a cross bike.

Are you willing to go
to drop bars?

- Oh, I haven't really thought
about drop bars.

[strained chuckle]

- The bleeding slowed down.

Good call. I can see where
to suture.

- You're... you're gonna
sew inside my leg?

- Hey, tell me about drop
bars. Are they worth it?

[sharp exhales]

- They lower your
center of gravity.

Make you more aerodynamic.

But you gotta be flexible.

- Oh, I can do the splits.

[laughs through pain]

- Nice work on these sutures.
Cool trick with the epi.

Let's go, OR 2.

- You were good with Sonya.

Guess you have to buy
a bike now, huh?

- Sonya?

Ohhh! No, I hate bikes.

I just didn't want her
to be afraid.

Fear increases oxygen demand,
heart rate, blood flow.

And then my cool epi trick
wouldn't have worked.

I wasn't totally sure
it would work,

but that's the whole point
we're up here, right?

When else would a nurse
get to try stuff like this

in the field?

- Wait, that's why
you came up here?

- Yeah. I mean, that's why
we're all up here, right?

- Well, maybe you can't
remember a patient's name

five minutes after we drop
them off, and maybe you think

it's slumming it going
into the field

unless you get
to try cool shit,

but these are real people,
and they deserve a lot more

than a medic who thinks he's
too good to take care of 'em.

[Wheezer] Can I give you
some advice?

You've got a lot of resumes
to get through there,

not a lot of time.

A little Hunger Games
never hurt anyone.

- Look, I know you've been
Chief Pilot

a lot longer than I've
been Chief Nurse,

but I think I'm gonna
handle it my way.

Just one medic at a time,
one-on-one.

- Okay. I'm just sayin',

a little competition
could be good.

Weeds out the non-starters.

- You worry about your pilots,

I'll worry about my medics.

[airplane roars]

This patient is stable,
but if we needed

to secure an airway,
how would you proceed?

- Page an RT.

- Oh, in a hospital, yes,

but we don't have respiratory
therapists up here.

We only have what's on
the plane, actually.

What about blood work?
- Page a lab tech.

- Right, but no lab
techs either.

So, what do we have up here?
- Pilots?

- Am I supposed to know
how to do that?

- Whoa! Whoa! I have control.

Not while you're
flying, champ.

[curious music]

[pen scratches]

[patient] You remind me of my
brother's sister-in-law, Missy.

Of course, that's not her real
name. We just call her Missy

because, well, we've been going
to the same hunting camp and--

- Oh, what's that?
Okay. Thanks, Captain.

This is some
prophylactic lorazepam.

The captain says it's going
to be a bumpy flight.

[dozy exhale]

If I'd had to listen to that
for the next two hours...

[sarcastic laugh]

- Okay, IV's all set.
Vitals look good.

Can I get you anything?

Some water?
- No.

- Great. Then all you gotta do
is enjoy the flight

for the next...
45 minutes.

Oh, just...

[bowels gurgle]

Uh...

uh, sorry, where's
the uh, the bathroom?

- Bathroom?

- I have a bit of
a nervous tummy.

And, you know,
big job interview,

plus lots of coffee
this morning.

[gurgling intensifies]
So the toilet?

- There's no facilities
on this aircraft, kid.

You're gonna have to hold it
'til we get to Winnipeg.

- Oh, God.

There must be something?

- Um...

- Is this really happening?!

[Wheezer] So, your way
didn't work.

- Yeah, well,
neither did yours.

Did you like
any of those pilots?

- No.
- That's what I thought.

- Look, at this rate, Lexi's
gonna get all her pilots

on the roster.

We're taking a risk hiring new
staff before the AMG can notice.

It would help if we could
actually find some good people.

- Are you really that worried
about the new management group?

- Change is risky.

I'm chief pilot.
It's my job to worry.

- Not on your own. It's my job
too now as chief nurse.

And at least we still have one
strong new hire.

Everybody likes Zay.

- I don't like Zay.
[both] What?

- Well, what happened?
I thought you liked Zay.

- Not as much as Zay likes Zay.

I mean, he's skilled, but he's
not here for the right reasons.

He just wants to hotshot.

- Chris, I just went through
a stack of resumes,

and you hated me too
at first, remember?

- This is different.

Zay doesn't care about
his patients.

- Oh, great. My first week
as chief nurse,

and I can't even
staff the planes.

- Well, welcome to being
the boss, kid.

[pen scratches]

[upbeat music]

- Look, I know you're slammed,

but I'm dealing with a very
picky palate here.

If there's even a hint
of ketchup on that burger,

I'm gonna have to come back
and get another one.

And between you and me, I can't
afford the gas.

So, look, I really don't
wanna be a jerk...

[bag crinkles]

Thank you!

- Sounds like your boyfriend's
the jerk.

Hating on nature's
perfect condiment.

- Hmm. No boyfriend.

- Well, then your girlfriend's
the jerk.

- No girlfriend either.

- Well, great.

So then I can buy you a drink.

- Sorry, cowboy.
Gotta get that burger home.

- And I... I absolutely respect
that, but when the prettiest

ketchup-hating girl I ever
did see crosses my path,

I gotta give it my all.

So, what is your poison?

- Okay. Yeah, you can
buy me a drink.

If you can ride that thing.

[man whoops]

- Oh! Wee!

You are on, partner.
Just a word to the wise,

you're dealing with
a certified pro here.

If it's got wheels,
I can drive it.

If it's got wings,
I can fly it.

And if it's got fur...

[clicks tongue]
I can ride it.

[pained exhale and whistle]

In my defense, real bulls
don't move like that.

- Looks like you're in for
a bit of a wait, cowboy.

- It's Wyatt.
Thanks for driving me.

- It's probably just a sprain.

You'll need to ice it
when you get home,

wrap it up for a few days, okay?
- Are you a doctor or something?

- No more bull riding.
No heavy lifting.

- Oh, crap. I'm trying out
for a new job this week.

Of course this happens.

I have terrible luck.
- Hmm.

- You probably wouldn't have
guessed it,

but I grew up on a small ranch
in Saskatchewan.

- I might have guessed.
[chuckles]

- I don't usually get to hit
on much of anything,

outside of winging gophers
off the back porch

with a slingshot,
and I certainly don't get

to hit on girls as pretty
as you.

So, if you don't mind me
asking, how did I do?

- Points for creativity.
- Uh-huh.

- But my life isn't exactly
normal right now, cowboy,

and I can't get distracted.

So take it easy on
that wrist, okay?

- Whoa, hey, wait.

Thompson's a small town. Maybe
I get lucky and I see ya again?

- Might be luckier for
you if you don't.

[winces]

[Lexi] Pull it off.
[engine roars]

Pull it off.

Keep holding off.

[yoke rattling]

[alarm sounding]

[engine hums]

[loud thumping]

Flat forward on the controls.

I have control.

[engine roars, alarm stops]

You have to break the stall
first, add power, then level up.

It's about getting familiar
with the aircraft.

With more practice,
it'll come naturally.

Chang, you're up!

- Ah!

[seatbelt clicks]

- What did I just say
about the uniforms?

- My uniform isn't
personalized. My headset is.

I read SkyMed regulations.

Headsets aren't considered
part of the uniform.

Pilots are responsible
for providing their own,

and the only requirement is that
they be in safe working order.

Your headset's personalized.
Who's Marti?

[woman announcing over PA]

[deep inhale and exhale]

- Dr. Highway, thought you'd
want to know,

the boat propeller triathlete,
Winnipeg salvaged her leg.

Now, she's got a long recovery,
but her prognosis is good,

thanks to you suturing
the vessels.

Smart move with
the epinephrine.

- It doesn't bother you that we
tried something untested?

- You knew epi wouldn't hurt
the patient,

and she has a better prognosis
than she would have otherwise.

In emergency medicine,
that's a win.

Good choice hiring Zay,
by the way. He was a smart hire.

- We were gonna pass on him,
actually. He cares more about

cool medicine
than helping patients.

- Crystal, you know who
his family are, right?

- No, why would that matter?

- 65-year-old woman
with facial lacerations

after a fall
down the stairs.

Don't you worry, Edna. Crystal
will take good care of you.

And I'll be back
to check on you

later today, just like
I promised, okay?

[wheelchair rattles]

- I didn't have time
to get groceries,

so you're gonna have to get
yourself something to eat.

And no junk food. Oh, shoot,
I'm late. Okay, how do I look?

- Desperate.

- Finn, it's a perfect gig.
Flexible hours, decent pay.

- Yeah, in the ass
end of nowhere.

- Yeah, I know, it's not home,
but it's a fresh start, right?

We need this, kid.

- You're gonna rock it, kid.

- This is my last 20.
Your dinner

better have at least
one green thing on it. Got it?

Hey! Pickles don't count.

[door shuts]

- Hey "no ketchup".

- Oh God, you're a pilot.
- Uh-huh.

- I thought you said if it had
wheels, you could drive it.

- Well, I can, but the damn
thing keeps breaking down.

[hood slams down]
[groans]

Son of a bitch!

- Didn't I tell you to wrap
this wrist so it actually heals?

- Yeah, well, I can't have
anyone know I sprained it.

I need this job. I can't give
them any reason not to hire me.

- Well, if you're not gonna
wrap it, then you need

to take it easy on this.
It's fragile.

- So you're a nurse, huh?

Do I finally get to know
your name

or should I check the manifest?

[Hayley] Piper Adler?
- Yes, that's me.

- Chief Nurse Roberts. We just
got a page for a pediatric fall.

Your PALS is up to date, right?
[Piper] Mm-hmm.

[Wheezer] You're up, cowboy.
[bag thumps]

Make me look good up
there, okay, kid?

Gotta get at least one
pilot on the roster, eh?

- Yeah.

[pained exhale]

[Boy] It was like
a hundred feet deep.

[Mom] Well, it wasn't that
deep. Maybe nine feet.

They were swimming
at a friend's house,

and when they came home, they
decided

to make a diving
board off an old freezer

in the garage.

- Can you make a fist
for me, Zack?

- It really hurts.

- Yeah, I bet. I got
something for that.

[wet cough]
- Oh, Bo.

We'll get popsicles
when Zack's getting X-rays.

[wet cough]

- You know, when my brother and
I were little, we used to see

who could hold our breath
underwater the longest.

- We did that too.
Bo was under a long time.

[wet cough continues]

- Did he cough a lot
when he came up?

Do you mind if I have a listen?

- Oh, go ahead.

- Ready?

He's got a crackle.

Lethargy, coughing, wet lungs.

- You're thinking
secondary drowning?

- What's that?

- It's a delayed reaction
from inhaling water.

The lungs get inflamed
and restrict breathing.

It's more common in children.

Starting oxygen.

Six-year-old boy, wet lungs,

lethargy following inhalation
of cool water.

Ten-year-old boy, possible
ulnar fracture

following six-foot fall.
- Thank you.

- Hey, I'm not supposed to make
any job offers

until the end of the week,

but how soon can you start?
- I got the job?

- And if you move into the crew
house today, you can have

your choice of room before
Wheezer's pilots grab them.

Oh, and I'm making a SkyMed
family dinner on Friday,

so make sure you're free
for that.

- Is the crew house mandatory?

It's just um...

my parents died
last year in a car accident.

My brother's only 15,
so it's just the two of us now.

- Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

That's really hard. I lost
my mom when I was young, too.

- I just want to give him
some stability, you know?

- Of course. Yeah, um... look,
just wherever you live,

make sure you can get to the
hangar within 10 minutes

of a page, okay?

- Yeah, okay.

- After I lost my mom,

I struggled for a really long
time to find a place

that felt like home.

And then SkyMed became
my family.

So, maybe it can help
be some family for you, too.

- I'll make sure we find
a place close to the airport.

Thank you.

[Crystal] You're not
Mr. Miller.

- Oh, yeah. Sorry, I just,
I needed a quiet place

to catch up on some charting.

Oh, Greg, the brittle diabetic,

do you remember
if he was discharged?

- You didn't drop him off to me.

- Really? I thought
that was you.

- No, I was the 65-year-old
facial laceration.

- Oh, right, Edna. Wow.

What is with this brain fog?

- Have you been
getting any sleep?

- Nah, I'm pulling doubles 'til
Hayley can make the new hires.

Shoot, I told Greg I'd check
on him.

I have to swing by
after I finish this.

- Have you been following up
with all your patients?

- Try to. Makes it easier
to do the job,

knowing what happens
to people after I drop 'em off.

- Okay, well, just don't spread
yourself too thin.

Working doubles and doing
extracurriculars is a lot.

I don't want to find you
in one of these bays for real.

[half-laugh]

- Dr. Highway?

[monitor beeping]

[undulating music]

[pager beeps, music stops]

[exhales]

- This is bullshit. All we've
done is practice stalls

and refuel planes.

I mean, we're all pilots here,
right? We all know how to fly?

I didn't come all the way up
here to have some hormonal

bush pilot grabbing my controls.

- Captain Martine.

[tense music]

- You know how to fly small
planes in perfect conditions.

The reality up here's different.

Bad weather,
bad strips, bad gear.

So, up here, you have to know
your SOP's cold,

so you don't have to think
about it when

you have an engine failure
in the middle of an ice storm

while your patient's bleeding
out in the cabin behind you.

Or you have to divert
on min fuel

and your patient has 15 minutes
to get to a hospital.

That is why I make you
practice stalls.

So we don't have to think
about it...

when the real thing
happens at the worst time.

And that uniform does not
belong to you.

It belongs to SkyMed.

It represents our responsibility
to our patients and our crew.

So, if I can't trust you to have
attention to detail

with your boots, how can I trust
you to have attention to detail

with a $5 million aircraft?

[Johnson scoffs]

Since you need the practice,
hit the apron Johnson.

Check the fleet's oil.

- The whole fleet? By myself?

- Since you know more than all
of us, show me.

I want every plane refueled
and oil checked

before you leave tonight.

[huffs]

[footsteps stomp away]

Any other questions?

Check in time, 0700
hours tomorrow.

[call ringing]

[Dad] Calling me, huh?
Guess Nowak's not around.

[chuckles]

- He's busy being
a big deal at Air Canada.

And I always call you, Dad.

[Dad] I know, Goose. What's up?

- Wheezer's trusting me to be
a training captain.

But Dad, these nuggets
are a mess.

[Dad] That's why you're there,
Lex. To get them up to scratch.

- What if I can't?

Look, I'm trying to train them
how you trained me.

But when I was learning,
I followed orders

and showed respect.

These kids... they're not like
how I was when I came up.

[Dad] Everyone always says
that. It's about standards, Lex.

Yours are high, which is good,

as long as you maintain
your standards.

They'll either come up to your
level or fall off and go away.

But you have what it takes.

- I just...

I miss flying with you, Dad.

And Nowak.
[Dad] Give it time.

You'll find someone else there
you like flying with too.

- Thanks, Dad.

[Wheezer] Normally, I wouldn't
bring a training pilot

into the field,
but I got a bad back,

and you are young and strong.

You'll bounce right back
if a naked patient falls on ya.

- Why would they be naked?

- Oh, trust me,
they're always naked.

- You know, I didn't realize
pilots assisted medics.

- Relax. We're mostly here just
to carry stuff.

Just don't drop a patient,
you'll be fine.

- Uh, where, where
is the patient?

[Stef] Over here. Some
hikers called it in.

[pained exhale]

[parachute fluttering]

[suspenseful music]

- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's a broken line.

It could still be live.

- Uh, this is Dan.
Today's his 60th birthday.

- Well, happy birthday, Dan.
- Thanks, man.

- He went skydiving
to celebrate, but he got

blown off course on his way
to the landing site.

- The carabiner on my harness
hit the power wire.

It arced right through me.
Hurt like a son of a bitch

until I dropped.

- The chairlift lines,
they carry a lot of voltage.

[Dan] There's a cutaway
release. I managed to get it

unlocked, but... unh...
I can't hit the release.

- Don't, don't move, Dan, okay?

If you make contact again,
you could get electrocuted.

He's already been hit once.

- By this broken line?

It could arc. So stay back
until the power's off.

I'm gonna call the ski hill
and get them to turn it off,

all right?
- Okay.

- Wh-what, what about
me? How do I help?

- Just don't get in the way.

How you doing up there, Dan?

- Not so good. It's my chest.
I have a pacemaker.

- Is that bad?

- It could be, if the voltage
fried his pacemaker.

- All right, the power's off.

We still need the fire
department's boom truck

to get him down, and they're
a couple hours out.

- No, the patient could be
in arrhythmia.

He might not have that long. The
power's off.

We've got to find a way
to get him down.

- I know I'm s-supposed
to catch naked people,

but I've had a lot of run-ins
with electric fences

that were supposed to be off.

There's a trick to check...
just hold up.

Every tornado season,
try to move cattle past

knocked down hydro lines.

I needed a way to check if they
were live or not.

So I figured out
that high voltages...

interfere with radio signals.

- Ah.

- Yes, perfect.

So, if you tune a radio at AM,
off frequency, and you get...

[winces, tape zips]

...real close.
Ah, come on.

[grunting]

You can actually hear...

the electricity.

[radio warbles]

- Ah, shit, it's still alive.
I'll call the ski hill.

- Ah, my wrist!
[electricity sizzles]

[tense music]

- Dan? Dan!

We need to get him down,
but he's stuck in that harness.

- Well, how do we, how do we
hit the release from here?

- H-h-have you got anything
stretchy, like a,

like a rubber band or something?

[Stef] The tourniquet.
- Oh, man.

Oh! Oh! Yes. Yeah.

- Hey, this?
- Yes!

- See what I mean
about farm kids?

You cannot beat their ingenuity.

- Yeah, but Wheezer, even if he
does hit the release,

the patient's unconscious,
we can't just let him fall.

- Catch him in this?
- Yeah.

All right.

[tense music building]

[slingshot snaps]
[release pings open]

[Dan whooshes into blanket]

[Stef] Sixty-year-old male,
cardiac arrest.

Electrical burns following
a high voltage electrocution.

Um, patient has
a pacemaker and a--

[intense music resonating]

[voices muddled]

[music stops]

[indistinct hospital PA]

Uh, hey, that patient I just
brought in, the electrocution.

- He just went into surgery
ten minutes ago.

- Ten minutes?

- Is that his belongings?

- Uh, yeah. I guess I forgot
to leave them with him.

Must've gone on autopilot
for a minute there.

- Okay, so you check
the landing gear.

Make sure the tires
aren't worn or damaged.

Who wants to do the oil check?

- I already topped it up.

- I thought I told you to check
the fleet's oil last night?

- I did. Just wanted to double
check it again this morning.

- Chang, right seat,
you're up first.

- Yes, ma'am!

[hand thumps on wing]

[engine roars]

- Once we get up
past 10,000 feet,

we'll set up for the stall.

Left engine oil
pressure's dropping.

- Reduce power?
[crank clunking]

[propeller powers down]
- We have a bad leak.

I have control.
- You have control.

- Get on the radio, call
a PAN-PAN. Tell Thompson

we'll be landing single engine.

- PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN Thompson
radio, SkyMed 923--

- What do we do?
- You do nothing.

This isn't a training flight
anymore. It's an emergency.

I'll land, single pilot,
one engine.

Left engine shutdown sequence.

- Confirm left engine
position lever?

- Confirmed. Cut off.
- Confirm cut off.

[engine rumbling]

- Oh, man.

- That looks bad.

[hatch creaks open]

- There's no oil cap here.

You forgot to secure
the goddamn oil cap, Johnson!

- Don't blame this on me.
Chang was the one flying.

- Excuse me?

- You forgot to secure
the oil cap.

You were rushing to do
this morning

what I ordered you to do
last night.

- The unsecured oil cap

wouldn't cause a leak.
- Yes, it would!

And you would know that if
you were listening

when I was trying to teach you
how to do oil checks.

You almost just torched
a million dollar engine.

If Maya and I didn't know
how to handle it,

we could all be dead right now.

This isn't personal.
It's about standards.

And you aren't up to them.

[huffs]

Hit the showers.

The final roster will be posted
in an hour.

Chang.

- Yeah?
[sighs]

- Thanks for having
my back up there.

How did you know the SOPs
for the shutdown sequence?

- You said we needed to know
the plane cold,

so I studied until I did.

There was a moment up there
when the pressure dropped, and

I thought I was gonna barf,
but then I knew what to do.

You were right.

Thanks, Captain Martine.

[claps]

- Goddamn!
- Ha, ha!

- Woo! Woo!

- Looks like you made
the cut. Congrats.

- Yeah, yeah, maybe my
luck's changing, hey?

[Piper chuckles]
Can I take you for that drink

now to celebrate? I convinced an
AME to take a look at my truck.

It might even make it the whole
way to the Whiskey Hatch.

- The only thing I'm doing at
the Whiskey Hatch

is picking up a takeout order
as soon as I hit the shower.

- Well, maybe, maybe, maybe if
you change your mind,

I-I can hold a burger for ya.
No ketchup.

Yes!

[curtain rasps on road]

[Crystal] Hi, Frieda.
- Hey!

- Oh, sorry to keep you waiting.

What is this?

- Well, you've been so busy
with school, the community

didn't want to tell you until
we knew it was happening, but...

[Crystal] The Jeremy
Wood Clinic?

- North House needs more access
to health care,

and it felt like a good way
to honor Jeremy.

- It's a beautiful
way to honor him.

- We're close to raising
the money, Cuz.

And we want you to run it.

The clinic would run in
cooperation with an ER

in Winnipeg. You'd have all
the support you needed,

and it would go towards
your residency.

- I... I'd have to leave SkyMed.

- We're submitting the proposal
this week.

If we get the funding,

we're hoping to open
this spring.

[motor rumbling]

[Wheezer] 911 needs
to be cleaned.

And guys, let's get these
pallets stored away properly,

please! How many times I
gotta tell ya?

- Wow. You're really rolling
out the red carpet

for our picnic.
[grumbles]

- I just got word the Aviation
Management Group rep

is on the way up here
for inspection.

- Wait, the AMG rep is coming
up now and you didn't tell me?

Wheezer, I'm the chief nurse.
I need to be here too.

Damn it, I'm not even
in my uniform.

- Oh shit, I am so sorry,
Hayley. I wasn't thinking.

- Why are they coming up?
Is it, is it the new hires?

- Well, it was risky sneaking
them in, but I can't exactly

fix 933's engine without
telling them.

There's no way an AMG is gonna
get a bill that high

and not come up here.

But hey, look, I am so sorry.

I screwed up keeping you
in the loop.

We got this. As long as we're
a unified front,

that's all that matters.

[man] Captain Heaseman,
she's here.

[knowing playful music]

- Oh, shit!

- Opie!

- You two know each other?

- Well, yeah,
we used to be engaged.

- Yep.

[Crystal] Oh my God, Hayley,
I just got your text.

Wheezer was engaged to someone
else before he married Lynn?

- You didn't know either, huh?

- Who is she? What's the deal?

- I don't know. There wasn't
exactly time to get into it,

because Captain Riley wanted
to inspect the fleet.

And Wheezer.

So, my first SkyMed
family dinner

isn't exactly going great.

My boyfriend has an ex-fiancée
I didn't know about,

and I can't hire enough medics
to keep the planes in the air.

Ugh, Crys, am I the worst
chief nurse SkyMed has ever had?

- No.

I might have been too hard
on Zay.

It's not like he hurt
the patient,

and he does know his stuff...
annoyingly.

I know it's really hard to find
staff up here,

especially with
people leaving all the time,

and you can't turn down
a good medic just because

I didn't love his attitude.

- Thank you.

Crys, ugh...

even with all of the stuff
with Wheezer and Riley

and the new hires,
I'm so glad I have you.

Seriously, you are my family

and you are the best medic
on my team.

- Hayley, I... I need
to tell you something.

[Piper] 25-year-old male hit
by a car into Gog Ridge Road.

Likely concussion, broken ribs,
decreased LOC.

- Piper? Wyatt?

- His truck must have broken
down again.

He must have been working on it.

And there's this blind curve
on the road.

- There's a lot of accidents
in that stretch.

- We were both headed to the
Whiskey Hatch.

I was just a few
minutes behind him.

- Did I get hit by a bull?

[Crystal] Bay 2 have imaging
standby for a CT.

- Hey, hey, are you okay?

- Should we call the police?
I-I only called an ambulance.

I was just so focused on getting
him help that I--

- It's okay, I'll handle it.
But if the driver

already fled the scene by the
time you got there,

the police aren't likely
to find whoever hit him.

Hey, hey, he's gonna be okay.

He's lucky you found him
when you did.

[nervous breathing]

[siren wailing]

[phone rings]

- Hello?
[Finn] Where are you?

You said you'd be home
an hour ago.

You weren't answering.

- Uh... I'm sorry, Finn. Um...

[keys jingle]

...I got delayed.

[Finn] But you're coming home,
right?

When you didn't answer,
I thought...

Piper, you weren't answering.

- Finn, it's okay.

I'm coming home.

I won't leave you alone.

I promise.
