It's whatever you ordered.

Yeah, that's chicken lo mein, I think.

Look at it. Does that look good?

- Yeah. - I don't know

the names of these things,

so I don't think.

So, you good? Good, okay.

You gonna eat that one?

- Ah-huh. - This is 5 Young,

sending a request through

with a landmark at Garvey Boulevard-

Oh, hey, man, that's spicy.

Did you get something spicy?

Here, let me see that one.

[Cross] You want this one?

(dispatch chatter)

Wow. Fire.

Yeah.

(mumbles) 'Cause this doesn't have any flavor.

[Cross] Hmm?

But you like that one, right?

[Cross] Yeah, I guess. It's okay.

Do you like this?

[Cross] Yeah, sure. I mean, it's all right.

Do you want? - Yeah.

I'd rather put a fire out

than have a bunch of water on noodle.

[Dispatch] What side you coming up on?

What side?

I don't mind trying something new.

You said you like Chinese food.

What's the matter with it?

- Oh, nothing. - Hmm?

[Cross] I mean, I live in Chinatown.

(dispatch chatter)

Huh. That makes you a connoisseur?

- No. - I've been to Chinatown.

It's a bunch of white guys in ponytails.

(dispatch chatter)

You live in Manhattan. Why do you work East New York?

It's where I got assigned.

[Rutkovsky] Mm.

But I'm taking the MCAT again in the spring.

Well, I give you about two weeks.

(radio beeps)

[Dispatch] Four-five Young. Four-five Young.

For the unconscious female.

Myrtle Avenue, Marcus Garvey Boulevard.

- Okay. - Four-five Young

for the unconscious.

Do me a favor, don't strap down the trauma bags.

[Cross] Yeah, but-

I don't care about the protocol.

Just slows us down.

If you wanna do that, do it with Verdis.

Don't do it with me.

All right? (sirens wailing)

[Patient] I don't think you're taking me

to the fucking hospital.

You're taking me to the fucking psych ward or something.

Can you give me some information?

[Patient] Fucking bastard. I hate you.

We're gonna take care of you.

You fucking asshole!

You fucking bitch motherfucker!

[Cross] Okay, we're gonna take you to the hospital

so they can take care of you. - You ain't shit!

You ain't fucking shit!

I don't wanna go to the hospital.

Ma'am, what is your date of birth?

I didn't call you!

Who called you? - Are you gonna tell me

your birth date? - Who the fuck called you?

I already told you

we have to take you to the hospital.

- This is not a job. - Okay?

Anybody could do this.

Tie somebody up.

- I will jump out. - I have to

take you to the hospital.

- I got thrown off a roof. - There's nothing I can do.

- And I was raped. - I can't let you.

I can't let you outta here. - All right?

[Cross] All right, I really need

to get some information from you, okay?

'Cause it's gonna help the hospital

to take care of you. - I'ma hit you.

I'ma fuck you up!

I'ma kick you in the fucking face.

I'm gonna fucking sue you, bitch.

- Please, just relax. - Motherfucker.

I ain't give no consent. - Please, just relax.

We're almost there.

We're gonna be there in five minutes.

So tell me something about you.

You don't wanna talk, asshole?

Hey, you ever been abused?

Huh? I've been abused.

When I was a little girl.

My stepfather, that motherfucker.

Nobody believed me. My mother gave me up.

So one time she beat me up with a electrical cord

and beat me up so bad, I was bleeding all over the place.

I tell her, "Bitch! You gonna die.

You gonna die, watch, for defending him."

And she sent me to school just like that, bleeding.

Ever since then, I never respected her.

I was so upset.

Sometimes I feel like committing suicide.

But don't put that on the records,

'cause I'm not suicidal.

Can you say something?

Paramedics. Motherfucking shit.

(grunts) You look like you eight years old,

and still sucking on your mother's titty.

Your breath smells like fucking titty milk.

Yeah, like fucking titty milk.

You still sucking a pacifier?

Oh, I got one. I do, it's a, a, here.

Maybe you can put this up your ass and smell it,

'cause you're talking shit.

You're gonna hear my mouth all the way

to the fucking hospital.

Hey. Oh, you don't wanna hear my mouth?

Put these two thumbs in your ear.

And put these in your asshole.

Motherfucker.

(laughs) Motherfucker!

(crying) You fucking bastard. I hate.

(solemn music) (sirens wailing)

You're just trying to get fucking paid.

I'm gonna fucking sue you, like the cops,

and then I'm fine.

I'll call 'em.

(solemn music)

Five, four, three, two, one.

Five, four, three! - Get that off.

- Come on, man! - Look, man, I'm trying.

(Cross groaning) (suspenseful music)

- Where is he? - Maybe take a deep breath.

I thought you might wanna keep him.

What's wrong?

Get rid of it!

I said get rid of it!

Come on, motherfucker.

'Cause he can't take a fucking joke.

No, he can't. Come on. - Cross! Cross!

Tried to get in last year back in Colorado,

but uh, I didn't do so hot on the MCAT.

Pork chops, French fries.

You might have to cut down on the fries

and the pork chops.

You're doing great, all right?

We got you in the back of an ambulance.

We're going to the hospital.

(solemn music)

You sleep okay?

Yeah, I guess.

I mean, it's a little tricky getting used to the nights.

Yeah.

When you froze the other night.

What?

- With the gunshot patient. - I- I didn't freeze.

Oh, okay.

Was that the first time you saw somebody go?

No, I was with my mother when she passed.

Yeah. That's how it starts for a lot of guys.

Seeing someone they care about taking their last breath.

Yeah. I found her in the bath.

Wasn't really much I could have done

by the time I got the door open.

But I was just a kid,

I couldn't even pick her up out of the tub.

She cut her wrist.

(Rutkovsky sighs)

Well, you can't save everyone.

Not even with all the toys and the training.

Sometimes they just go away anyway.

Squeegee, squeegee, squeegee.

(dispatch chatter) (sirens wailing)

So tell me if you think this is funny.

There's a pedophile.

He's walking a, a 6-year-old girl

out into the woods at dusk.

And uh, she says, "Mister, I'm getting scared.

It's getting dark."

And he says, "Think about me, selfish,

I gotta go back alone."

(Cross chuckles)

That's a good one. I heard that one before.

Yeah, but you laughed.

You think that's funny? - It's still good. Yeah?

Is there something wrong with you?

(laughs) No. (dispatch chatter)

All right, I got one.

This 8-year-old boy gets to the house.

He knocks on the door.

A little old lady opens the door.

She says, "Oh, sonny, you must be a pirate."

He says, "Yes ma'am, I am a pirate."

She says, "Well, if you're a pirate,

where, where are your buccaneers?"

He goes, "Under my buccan-hat, you buccan-bitch."

(Rutkovsky chuckles)

I like, I like that one.

(dispatch chatter) (siren wailing)

(staff chattering)

(locker door thuds)

Hey man. Didn't you say 10 minutes early?

Yeah. Fuck you.

Asshole.

I'll see you outside.

(dispatch chatter)

- See this guy? - Yeah. On the bicycle?

I always feel like just opening the door.

Crack! (chuckles) I don't like these guys.

(siren wailing) (car door thuds)

(children yelling) (birds chirping)

(bottles clattering)

(car horn honking)

(door squeaks and thuds)

(hand bangs) EMS!

(child crying)

(hand bangs) (door rattles)

[Nancy] Oh, you brought back up.

(scoffs) Nancy, this is Cross.

Cross, Nancy.

[Nancy] You got it?

[Rutkovsky] Where's Sylvie?

[Nancy] You're not seeing her until you pay her rent.

(child crying)

So you got it or not?

(paper rustles)

Thank you. (door squeaks)

(door thuds)

That's the welcome party.

Hey. Hello. (chuckles)

How are you? - Good.

Where are you gonna take me?

- This way. - Take me to play somewhere.

[Sylvie] Yeah.

(Rutkovsky grunting)

[Nancy] So you're the new partner?

Yeah.

I'm the most recent ex-wife and mother of his only child.

Nice to meet you.

(Nancy sighs)

[Cross] How many wives has he had?

I lost count.

[Rutkovsky] Okay, good.

[Nancy] Loves his daughter though. I'll give him that.

[Rutkovsky] Bravo. (claps) Watch what happens.

How long, how long have you guys lived here?

Five years. Two just Sylvie and me.

How long you been on the job?

A few weeks.

Few weeks?

- Yep. - Hm.

How's your girlfriend deal with it?

Oh, I- uh, I don't really have a girlfriend.

I mean, there's a girl, but. - Oh, I see.

Busy saving the world,

not much time for, uh, personal stuff.

I don't know about that.

I know about that.

(phone buzzing)

I know all about that.

Excuse me.

Oh, I haven't told him yet.

But um, I talked to the lawyer,

and he said we're well within our rights

as long as we stay within state lines.

(somber music)

[Sylvie] It's a rainbow hopscotch

[Rutkovsky] Yeah, let's see your hopscotch.

[Sylvie] This side or that side?

It doesn't matter.

Whatever you wanna do.

I got a magic trick for you.

All right. You ready? - Yeah.

All right. (gasps) (Sylvie exclaims)

Voila! (grunts) (Sylvie laughs)

I love you. So happy to see you.

[Sylvie] Me too.

Let me see that.

It's pretty. Where'd you get that?

From Mommy's friend.

(gentle suspenseful music)

(Nancy sighs and clears throat)

Hey, darling, Daddy's gotta get back to work.

What am I doing?

[Sylvie] Helping people get better.

That's right.

(door rattles)

This is Cross.

- Hello. - He's a goofball.

Will you go show him your hopscotch?

- Yes. - See if he

can hopscotch. - Oh, wait.

Gotta do that again.

Let's go hopscotch.

What you got? Ooh!

Look at you.

[Sylvie] Yeah, I could stay on this.

- Yes? Like this? - Yeah.

So you're seeing somebody.

(gentle suspenseful music)

Attagirl. (sighs)

Um.

(solemn music)

Yeah. (door squeaks)

- Hey. - Hey, darling.

- Run around. - Daddy's gotta go.

All right. I love you.

Mommy's waiting for you. - Okay. Bye!

Bye, darling.

Bye!

(solemn music)

(rain pattering)

(ethereal music)

(solemn music)

(ethereal music)

(child crying)

Hang on.

(solemn music)

Hi. What's up, buddy?

You wakey-wakey? Hi.

Huh?

(child cries)

He's still tired. - Yeah.

Hey, buddy.

Are you gonna say hi to Mama's friend?

Huh? Here.

(child sneezes)

Bless you.

- Bless you. - Bless you. Hey.

- Hi, buddy. - Hey.

Hi. What do you think?

(child chortles) Ooh.

(Cross imitates whooshing)

(solemn music)

(ethereal music)

[Dispatch] Four-five Young. Four-five Young.

Dysp breathing, fever, cough,

at the Brownsville Nursing Home.

East New York Avenue, Rockaway.

Four-five Young.

(dramatic music) (train screeching)

- How we doing? - Hi.

He's right over there.

It started yesterday afternoon

and it's getting worse and worse.

- What's the history? - He has advanced Alzheimer's,

heart disease, chronic pneumonia, and incontinence.

My lungs are bad.

- Yeah? - They are.

- You got a DNR? - No, he doesn't have a DNR.

Let me go bring

his chart for you. - I'm dying.

Sh, it's okay.

Sir, we'll take you to the hospital.

(plastic rustles)

(patient groans)

We'll transfer him to a hospital

from this fucking nursing home.

He'll be right back.

(patient groaning)

Pulmonary edema. He's got an ocean in his lungs.

(patient groaning)

(curtain rattles)

I know what you're thinking.

Is it worth it?

You and I both know as soon as we get him to the ED,

they're gonna intubate him

and he probably won't ever breathe on his own again.

(patient groaning)

(ethereal music)

(Rutkovsky sighs)

All right. Ready?

- Yep. - One, two, three.

(body thuds)

(patient sighs)

(stretcher rattles)

(trolley whirring)

(train rumbling)

I used to work a double shift.

I was with FDNY and a private outfit,

and my mainstay was an air-conditioning business

with my cousin.

So I'd do the 7:00 to 7:00 day, 7:00 to 7:00 night,

then go straight to knocking wallboard out,

putting in insulated duct.

By the time I'd get home, I hit the rack,

like, man, boom, just crashed.

A coma.

And my wife would wake me, shaking me,

telling me I wasn't breathing.

But I think she was fucking with me.

(Rutkovsky groans) (dispatch chatter)

Wake me if I stop breathing.

(train screeching)

You got it.

(train rumbling)

- 2F? - Yeah, 2F.

(hang banging) - EMS!

[Husband] Hey, yeah.

[Rutkovsky] Hello, EM-

Hey. I called.

Check my wife please.

[Cross] What's going?

I think she fell or something.

She doesn't look really good.

(door thuds)

(train rumbling)

- What happened? - Four-five Young, 10-85.

What's going on? What happened?

Did you hit your head?

Do you remember?

Hm? - Two of you arguing tonight?

- Nah, we didn't. - You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure, man.

- She fell? - That's what she told me.

Okay, just relax. Just relax.

So what do you, what is the last thing you remember?

(husband speaking Russian)

Where'd you, where'd you hit your head?

Where does it hurt the worst?

Okay. (husband speaking Russian)

Ma'am, you remember what happened?

You say you fell, right? (wife speaking Russian)

(husband speaking Russian)

(wife sobs) - Where'd you fall?

You remember? - The stairs.

Was she, was she unconscious?

A little bit.

(husband speaking Russian) - Sir, could you just.

Sir, please. We're trying to get her to relax.

Let my partner help your wife.

That's fine. You focus on her.

He's trying to help your wife.

- I'm trying to talk to her. - If you just wanna step

into the other room? - That's all I'm doing.

We're trying to help her.

(husband and wife speaking Russian)

(husband speaking Russian)

Do me a favor.

Just, you make me a little nervous

being so behind me, okay? - I'm cool, man.

I'm in my house. - I'm just trying

to take care of your wife, all right?

Can you just give us...

Sir, we're trying to ask her some questions.

Could you just step into the other room or something?

What is all these questions about?

What you are? Cops? - We're just trying

to help your wife. No, we're not cops.

We're just trying- - That's exactly

what I'm saying. - To help your wife.

(husband speaking Russian)

(wife speaking Russian) - Sir? Sir?

Sir, could you just give us a second-

- I'm cool, man! - While we talk to her?

I know, but just give us a second

while we talk to her! - Stop looking at me.

Look at her and help.

Just do your fucking jobs.

[Cross] Yeah. That's what we're trying to do.

I'm getting really pissed right now,

'cause y'all asking too much goddamn questions

and not getting her help.

(husband speaking Russian)

(wife speaking Russian) - Let me.

Here, just sit back and relax a little bit.

[Husband] Don't look at me. Look at her, all right.

(wife and husband yelling in Russian)

Could you just give us a second?

(wife and husband continue yelling in Russian)

Okay. (dramatic music)

[Husband] Where you going, man?

- Sir. - Where are you going?

[Rutkovsky] I'm gonna get her to the hospital.

(wife and husband yelling in Russian)

What is this for?

We're gonna take her to the hospital.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Come on. Just stand over there.

(train screeching)

Just get out of the way.

That's not gonna happen.

(all yelling)

- Hey, hey! Knock it off! - Motherfucker.

NYPD! What's going on?

Get the fuck out.

- What? - Get the fuck out.

Get him out, get him out!

Get him the fuck out!

(officers and husband yelling)

It's all right.

[Husband] What the fuck y'all doing? Yo!

We'll take you to the hospital,

and they'll check you out.

It's all right. It's okay.

Rut! Rut, hey, hey! (train screeching)

(officers and husband yelling)

Got a wife-beater pussy bitch.

You pussy bitch. Right?

(all yelling)

You sorry pussy bitch!

- Rut! - Who you talking to?

Rut, hey!

Hey! Rut, Rut! - Come on, motherfucker!

(all yelling)

- The fuck are you doing? - Let's get him downstairs!

[Husband] Fuck off, man.

What are you doing? Come on.

[Husband] Fucking wrong, yo!

You good?

We'll take care of you.

Let's get the ice pack on her hand.

(sirens wailing)

From the minute Putin-wannabe bitch opens the door,

he's already been threatening with us.

Every time the wife tries to tell Cross

an answer to one of his questions,

this guy's overbearing on top, threatening to us,

while he's telling her to shut the fuck up

in Ru, whatever.

Over and over. That's what's going on the whole time.

Then the second I got up, this fucking guy gets on me.

Cops rushed him.

Just, he was, engaged me,

I was a little fueled-up at that point.

I go to the door.

Captain, please. I go.

I only went to the door.

The next thing he does, he's trying to kick me.

How did that happen, Rut?

I didn't, when Cross is asking her medical questions-

- Rut, it's- - He just keeps

fucking threatening the wife.

It's not a good look when the medics

make their own fucking patients, okay, Rut?

You pushed a cop, Rut.

You pushed a fucking cop, Rut.

I didn't try to hit a cop.

In fact, I didn't. - You did!

The cop was, you know, pulling me off from the guy

who was trying to kick me at the door.

I didn't. I didn't actually hit the cop.

I got the guy that took a kick at me

'cause I was motherfucking him at the door,

and then the cops and I got into it for two seconds.

That's not what the report says. Okay?

The cop was assaulted. What can I do?

- So you're benching me? - Get the fuck outta here.

(train rattling)

[Rutkovsky] You know, I'll have to go down

and get a psych eval at some point.

[Cross] That's with a therapist?

[Rutkovsky] Anytime anything happens in the field,

they send you downtown for a debrief.

You know, you're having nightmares, insomnia, all that.

After 9/11, they sent a whole army of shrinks

to all the stations.

[Cross] You were there, right?

We got there at least a couple of minutes

before the first tower went down.

You know h- how, you've seen it on television?

So it just looks like a lava flow or someth-

I mean, it just sort of melts down.

That's not what it was like.

It was more like this thing,

like clack, clack, clack.

Every floor crashing into each other,

just clack, clack, clack, clack.

I mean, you could really feel it falling.

So we went around the clock, and then

I went back to work three days later.

I mean, what else was I gonna do?

Well, I guess I could've taken

that fancy doctor's test you're taking.

(Cross chuckles)

(seagulls squawking)

(somber music)

(waves crashing)

Nancy's leaving.

She met someone.

And they're, uh, taking off.

Upstate somewhere.

Taking Sylvie with 'em. (scoffs)

I mean, I would h- have her weekends,

and then now it'll be holidays.

(waves crashing) (seagulls squawking)

Maybe it's for the best.

Get her outta the city.

She'll have a better life.

(waves crashing) (seagulls squawking)

Hey, don't kill anybody while I'm gone.

(somber music)

(suspenseful music)

(sirens wailing)

(dramatic rock music)

(sirens continue wailing)

(dramatic rock music continues)

♪ There's nothing left for you to say ♪

You don't like metal?

♪ Evil is alive ♪

♪ You can't kill the devil ♪

♪ 'Cause evil never dies ♪

[Cross] We got a foul odor up here.

[Landlord] Yeah, guys, it's, uh,

second apartment door right here.

(metal clattering)

(door thudding)

So glad we rushed here.

We rushed over here for a dead body.

(door clattering)

Oh, that's the good stuff.

Have at it.

[Cross] You're not going?

(chuckles) You're the rookie.

Here. - What the fuck is that?

You're gonna be fine.

The fuck is that?

Vicks VapoRub.

- Get the fuck off me. - What's wrong with you?

It's so you don't puke.

Your mother never used that?

(Cross gulps)

(Cross continues panting)

(suspenseful music continues)

Cross!

(Cross gasps)

You believe in heaven, Cross?

You believe in that shit?

I don't know if I believe in heaven,

but I believe in hell.

(flies buzzing)

You know, a fly can smell death sooner than we can?

It's the only smell you can never get used to.

(flies buzzing)

(suspenseful music)

(Cross sniffling)

(intensifying suspenseful music)

[Clara] Ollie? Are you okay?

(somber music)

Yeah.

(door squeaks)

Is something wrong?

(soft melancholic music)

Hey, you can talk to me.

I'm worried about you.

(Cross sighs)

(train screeching) (crowd chattering)

(sirens wailing)

(train rattling)

(residents yelling)

(May vocalizing) (clock ticking)

(sirens wailing)

Hey, I'm trying to study in here!

Thank you.

(May continues vocalizing)

Hey! Could you please do that in the other room?

(May continues vocalizing) (clock ticking)

Hey! Hey!

I said I'm trying to fucking study in here!

Okay? It's a very important exam.

Please, would you do that in the other room? Thank you.

(May mumbles) Fuck!

(clock ticking) (dog barking)

(alarm buzzing)

Fuck! (sirens wailing)

[Lafontaine] Do you know how many days it's been?

17 days. Not one thank you.

Most of the time they say "fuck you."

I'm losing faith, like, in humanity, you know?

I'm losing faith.

Come on, come on. Speak, oh, there you go.

There you go. Yeah.

No, no, no, wait. Just relax.

Hey, wait, wait, no. Come on, wait.

Fuck!

Ma'am, you had an overdose, okay?

We're trying to help. - Fuck!

Fuck you! - We're doing our job, ma'am.

- Ow. My hair! - Ma'am!

Fuck me, okay. Fuck me.

- Yes! - Just relax!

[Lafontaine] I can't hear another fucking thing.

(patient screams) - Ma'am, just relax, please!

We're just doing our job. - Fuck you. Fuck you!

(sirens wailing) (suspenseful music)

You don't call, you don't write.

Don't send me flowers

Hey, man.

Welcome back. - Thanks.

[Dispatch] Four-nine Henry.

Correction, we're going to hospital 14.

Category M.

[Rutkovsky] At least I'm back in our old apartment

now that they're upstate.

[Cross] How's it feel?

[Rutkovsky] Like a double amputation.

[Cross] I don't suppose you're looking for a roommate?

[Rutkovsky] Yeah, what, you wanna talk and cuddle?

You couldn't afford it anyway, Mr.

"I'm going to med school.

I can't afford time for a second job."

[Cross] Well, that's definitely true.

(radio beeping)

[Dispatch] Four-five Young.

Four-five Young. For the OB cop.

Yeah, Four-five Young, send it.

Uh, show us 63. I got it.

Oh, you bet you got it.

- How much? - Eight.

Okay. There you go.

Thank you. - Muchas gracias.

(bright upbeat music)

(car horn honking) (pedestrians chattering)

(car door thuds)

(radio pings)

(Rutkovsky sighs)

Is that a pregnancy?

You ever caught a baby?

No.

Well, maybe you get lucky

and she'll deliver in the bus.

Don't worry. Mama and baby do the hard part.

(sirens wailing)

Hey, how's it going?

[Nurse] Don't know.

I heard screaming about 10 minutes ago.

She's pregnant. That's why I called you guys.

The door's locked. I can't get in the room.

It's locked?

Yeah. Hello?

Should we wait for PD?

EMS! We're here to help you, EMS.

(metal clatters)

(foot banging) (Rutkovsky grunts)

(door crashes)

(suspenseful music) - Fuck!

Okay, come on. Come on.

(Rutkovsky grunts)

(zipper rasping)

(Cross sighs)

[Cross] She's got a pulse. She's pinpoint.

[Rutkovsky] All right, I'm gonna get this dog shit

out of her arm.

[Cross] Let me get the Narcan.

(soft suspenseful music)

[Rutkovsky] Shears!

[Cross] Ma'am? Ma'am, can you hear me?

Ma'am, I need you to wake up.

Ma'am?

Stay with Mom. I'm taking this kid down the hall.

- What? - Is there a restroom

down here? - Wait, is, is the baby okay?

(Nia groaning)

Ma'am, just relax.

Just relax. Just relax.

My partner's got- - Where's my baby?

The baby, ma'am.

Ma'am, ma'am, just relax. - My baby. My baby.

Just relax. Just relax.

Ma'am, just relax.

It's all right. - My baby!

My partner's got the baby, okay?

He's gonna take care of her, okay?

Ma'am. Ma'am, just relax, okay?

Let me see your arm.

Just relax. (Nia crying)

Can you answer some questions for me?

[Nia] Where's my baby?

[Cross] How long has the baby been out?

Ma'am. - Where's my baby?

[Cross] Do you know how long the baby's been out?

(Rutkovsky grunts) (door thuds)

(Rutkovsky sighs) (soft suspenseful music)

My partner's got the baby. Okay?

He is doing the best he can.

All right? - My baby!

[Cross] Just relax for me.

You've lost a lot of blood, okay?

Where's my baby? My baby.

We got the baby.

We're gonna take care of you, okay?

We're gonna do the best we can.

All right. He's taking care of the baby.

Just relax. Okay?

I need to get an IV in you. - My baby.

(sobbing) My baby.

My baby. My baby's dead. - Ma'am.

How much did you just use?

How much did you just use?

I need to know.

- I'm clean. I'm clean. - Ma'am!

We found a needle in your arm.

How much did you just use?

You gotta tell me, okay?

You have to tell me.

I- I- I needed something for the pain.

[Cross] You needed something for the pain?

But I've been clean. (sobs)

- Okay. You've been clean? - I've been clean.

All right. That's all right.

[Nia] (sobbing) My baby. It's all my fault.

Did you use anything else besides heroin?

- No. No, no, no. - Did you use anything else?

No? - No.

Okay. All right.

Let me get this around your arm right there.

- The baby's dead. - Do you remember

how many minutes the baby was out?

(Nia sobbing)

My fault. It's my fault.

My baby. My baby.

Ma'am. Have you been tested for HIV?

Have you been tested for HIV?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

[Nia] I got it. I'm positive.

Okay, all right.

And you've been taking the meds

so your baby wouldn't get the virus?

[Nia] They don't work.

How do you know that? They do work.

You should have been taking the meds

so your baby wouldn't get the virus.

[Nia] My baby. The baby, the baby's dead.

(knuckles rapping)

- Hey, guys, what's going on? - 30-year-old female.

She just gave birth.

She's, uh, 32 weeks pregnant.

[Medic] Where's the baby?

She took some heroin for the pain.

- Where's, where's the baby? - So I gave her two Narcan.

She's HIV positive.

Hasn't been taking her meds

and, uh, she lost a lot of blood.

I got an IV set up. - Are you fucking serious?

I'm gonna go check on my partner.

I'll be right here. - Where's your partner?

He's got the O2 tank.

[Medic] What the fuck is going on here?

- Where's my baby? - Hi, ma'am.

How are you feeling?

Excuse me? Where is he?

[Nurse] In there!

Hey! What's going on?

How's the baby?

(Rutkovsky grunts)

Stillborn. Baby's dead.

[Medic] Yo, what the hell's going on back there?

Un-fucking-believable.

Come on, guys. Where's the baby?

Just tell, tell them we're taking Mom.

- Guys, where's the baby? - It's dead. It's stillborn.

We're gonna take the mother.

You always treat a newborn

Yeah, take your protocols and stick 'em up your ass.

We got Mom. Your partner's in with the baby.

That's not the protocol.

Get with your partner.

These guys and their protocols.

(soft dramatic music)

(grunts) Shit.

- Pick her up. - One, two, three.

[Cross] All right.

(Rutkovsky groans)

(soft suspenseful music)

[Medic] We're going first. We have the baby.

Fucking cavalry.

[Medic] Un-fucking-believable.

[Cross] One, two, three.

(Rutkovsky grunts)

- Doing good? - Yeah.

Okay. All yours.

(Rutkovsky groans)

(machine beeping)

(doors thudding)

Where we at?

[Cross] How you doing?

(zipper rasping)

[Nurse] What have we got?

She's HIV positive.

Uh, she just gave birth.

(Rutkovsky sighs)

- One, two. - Three. (grunts)

[Nurse] Can we have a report when you get a minute?

[Cross] Yeah.

All right. - What's the patient's name?

It's, uh, Nia Brown.

- Date of birth. - It's 8/24/91.

So we got a call for a pregnancy.

Uh, she told us she was 32 weeks pregnant.

The baby was out when we got there.

- Gene Rutkovsky? - On the scene?

There was a problem with your last call.

[Rutkovsky] A problem with our last call?

Sorry, just give me one second.

- Out of service. - Are you being serious?

[Officer] You can head back to the station.

[Cross] Hey, what's going on?

We've been restricted.

Why?

The baby lived.

I don't know what your partner said,

but you're outta service.

You can head back to your station.

(sirens wailing)

[Russell] What happened?

[Cross] I don't know. I was with the mother.

She was my patient.

[Russell] I need you to focus on the truth.

Did you and Rutkovsky compare notes on this event?

- No, we didn't. - Why not?

[Cross] Because he wouldn't talk to me.

[Russell] You were with the mother?

[Cross] Yes.

[Russell] And you never saw the baby?

I did for a moment.

Was it breathing?

I don't think so.

[Russell] Did you look closely?

Wasn't my patient.

[Russell] Did you ask the mother about the baby?

Yes.

[Russell] What'd she say?

She said that it was dead.

[Russell] Did you ask anybody else about the baby?

Yes. Rutkovsky.

[Russell] What did he say?

He said that the baby was dead.

[Russell] When did you ask Rutkovsky about the baby?

When I went to get the O2 tank.

It was with him.

[Russell] Where was he?

He had taken the baby out of the room and down the hall.

The bed was covered in blood

and the mother was coming back from an OD.

He needed a safe place to treat.

When you asked about the baby, did you look yourself?

Rutkovsky's the senior medic.

[Dr. Towers] I did not ask you who was the senior medic.

What I asked you was when you asked about the baby,

did you look yourself?

Yes, it was covered in a towel.

[Dr. Towers] So you let him do whatever he wants,

even leave a baby to die.

I let him treat the most critical patient.

I thought that he would know

whether a baby was breathing or not.

We've got the baby, okay?

We're taking care of it.

Just relax. All right?

We're gonna get a blood pressure.

[Nia] My baby. My baby.

[Cross] We've got the baby.

We're gonna take care of you, okay?

We're gonna do the best- - My baby's dead.

(door thuds) (water dripping)

(Cross panting)

I'm only gonna ask this question one time.

Tell the truth now or your case goes before the board.

Did Paramedic Rutkovsky intentionally

withhold treatment?

(soft dramatic music)

No. He made a mistake.

Rut. Rut.

How you doing, man?

I told them it was a mistake.

[Burroughs] Rutkovsky. You're up.

Get the fuck away from me, hero boy.

(dramatic music)

(Cross scoffs)

(suspenseful music)

(Cross panting)

(suspenseful music continues)

[Cross] We've got the baby.

We're gonna take care of you, okay?

We're gonna do the best we can.

I need you to relax.

How many weeks were you?

(Cross panting) (water dripping)

[Nia] Are you sure

[Rutkovsky] Yeah, I'm sure.

I got your back.

[Nia] My baby's dead

- Ma'am. Ma'am, ma'am. - Where's my baby?

[Cross] Ma'am.

He's taking care of the baby. Relax, okay?

(Rutkovsky sobbing and muttering)

(somber music)

(Rutkovsky chuckles)

(water dripping) (Cross panting)

[Lafontaine] I'm trying to save him, man!

(bystanders yelling)

Hey. Hey, back up.

Hey, get the fuck back.

Get the fuck back! - Back up!

Back off! Get the fuck off!

Hey!

Hey, hey, get the fuck back!

- Watch it, man! - Don't fucking touch me.

Don't fucking touch me, and fucking do your jobs.

Roll him up right now. Get him out of here.

Don't fucking push me, motherfucker.

[Cross] Hey!

- Don't you fucking touch me. - Don't fucking touch him.

Move, man. We're trying to come through.

Get the fuck out of the way!

(bystanders yelling)

Yo, I swear to God, bro.

He's not gonna go.

Get the fuck out of the way!

Where the fuck you going?

Be hell of a lot easier

if you moved the fuck out of the way.

- You ain't going. - Bro, it's my business, bro.

Get the fuck off me, man.

Do your job!

Let me do my job, motherfucker.

(bystanders yelling and clamoring)

(soft dramatic music)

Go, go, go, go, go!

- One all. - One all.

Back the fuck up!

Hey, hey.

Get the fuck away from the ambulance. Go up front.

Hey! Lafontaine!

- Don't fucking touch me. - Get the fuck out of here!

Get the fuck out of here! Doing our job!

(sirens wailing) - Do your job!

Fucking do your job! (suspenseful music)

Let's see what you got, my man.

You got something? Got something good in here?

Oh, come on. I know you do.

Yes, you do.

Shit. (chuckling) Yeah.

That's some Mexican mud. That's what that is.

(machine beeping) (sirens wailing)

How long do you think he'll last?

Huh?

Fuck him.

Fucking drug dealer.

(machine continues beeping) (sirens continue wailing)

Think you're an angel?

Really? Well, I ain't Jesus.

I'll tell you that.

(machine continues beeping) (sirens continue wailing)

(Lafontaine laughing)

(slow dramatic music) (train rattling)

Come on. I won't tell nobody.

- I'm good. - Have a drink.

It's good shit.

I don't want a drink.

Don't you get tired of being good all the time?

Where you from?

Glenwood Springs. It's in Colorado.

You're from Colorado?

You know what it is to shoot a horse, right?

It's a mercy kill.

When these doors close, we're not pawns anymore.

We're not even kings. We're gods.

We decide. We decide.

You think I'm gonna save some piece of shit's fucking life?

That's how it was with Rut, wasn't it? You know.

That's not how it was with Rut.

Oh, you believe that?

(Lafontaine chuckling)

You- you- (laughing).

You really don't know shit, do you?

(chuckling) You think these people like you?

You think you're saving people?

(Lafontaine laughing)

You'll learn. You'll learn.

(sirens wailing)

(suspenseful music)

Come on!

What are you mad at?

What I'm saying is stop being so sensitive.

That's all I'm saying.

(Lafontaine chuckles and clears throat)

Jesus, tough room.

If you don't wanna talk, we don't have to talk.

We could just sit here and.

Seriously, man, if you got.

Be careful about sitting on a high horse

or thinking you're gonna actually

save people, you know?

'Cause if that horse- - Shut the fuck up!

Shut the fuck up!

This is what you fucking want from me? Huh?

Shut the fuck up!

Okay. All right.

(suspenseful music) (sirens wailing)

(Cross panting)

(Clara moaning)

(both gasping)

(Cross panting)

Ollie! Ollie!

(coughing) Ollie, stop! Stop!

(Clara panting)

(suspenseful music)

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You hurt me.

(Cross panting)

(child crying)

You need to leave.

(gasps) Fuck!

[Clara] You need to fucking leave!

(suspenseful music)

[Lafontaine] How many people did you rob today? Huh?

- Are you crazy? - You don't even remember

the people that you robbed, motherfucker.

I get you. Now you're a big man, right?

Beats up old ladies.

- I don't beat up old ladies. - With five

of his fucking friends.

He sells crack to fucking 10-year-old kids.

I don't sell crack to no one.

Get off me! - 10-year-old kids!

- I don't know you. - You a man?

Hit him. Give him a lesson.

- Get the fuck off. - Give him a spanking.

[Teenager] Get the fuck off me!

Hit him. Hit him.

- Fuck off. - This is your chance.

This is your chance. Hit him.

Oh, look he does. He wants to.

He wants to. - Get off me me!

- He wants. - Shut up.

- Oh! - Get off!

Get the fuck off of me. - Oh. Oh, oh.

Are you fucking kidding me?

You gonna hit me?

(both grunting)

Come on. Come on.

[Cross] You piece of fucking shit.

Hit me like a man. You gonna hit me?

(Lafontaine laughing) (Cross grunting)

Hit me!

I said. (sirens wailing)

Come on! Hit me like a fucking man!

(Cross grunts)

I'm proud of you.

That was beautiful.

(suspenseful music) (sirens wailing)

(Cross panting)

(ethereal music)

(bright music)

[Waitress] Can I get you something else?

Uh, I'm still waiting for my friend,

so, uh, I'm okay for now, thank you.

(diners chattering) (soft bright music)

(Rutkovsky sniffs)

Yeah, no, no, no, no. Go, go, go.

(bells clanging)

Why don't you take a look at the menu?

I think the waitress is about to kick me outta here

if we don't order.

(Rutkovsky sighs)

I never liked Chinese food. I was being polite.

We can go somewhere else.

I'd prefer that.

Let's get outta here.

I've been studying for the MCAT

and, uh, I had to take the test yesterday.

You know, I never asked you

what happened after the investigation.

Nothing much. I got a formal reprimand.

Burroughs said I was unobservant.

Fuck Burroughs.

Fuck 'em all.

Fuckers wanted to put me behind a desk.

Administrative? That was never gonna happen.

(train rumbling)

It was fucked-up what happened.

You made a mistake,

but at least everybody's all right.

Big fucking mistake.

It was, but hey, it could have happened to anybody.

You listen to this character.

You know, some of us do this for a living full-time.

It's not just a pit stop on the way to a medical degree.

So just maybe don't make a mistake

fucking with me.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

They were gonna put me out to pasture no matter what,

whether I fucked up or not.

We walked into that shelter,

you see the junkie with a needle in her arm,

her baby drenched in HIV blood,

set up for a miserable fucking life.

I mean, it's not that complicated, Ollie.

I chose not to treat.

Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.

You're out here for two minutes, you know.

It's the job. They're dying.

It's us, the dead and the dying.

It's the job.

We carry the misery

and nobody gives two shits about it.

Not the department, not our wives,

or whatever the fuck you got.

Nobody.

Because, you know, why, uh, why should they?

But me, I was fucking done.

I did what I thought was right.

If you can't admit what you see in front of your eyes, then.

Then what?

What?

Then you're a coward.

- And what are you? - Are you a coward?

Are you a coward? - What does that make you?

- Are you a coward? - Huh?

- Are you a coward? - What does that make you?

If I'm a coward, you're a fucking murderer.

(sirens wailing)

(car horn honking)

You're a good guy. You were a good partner.

(car horn honking)

(bus engine rumbling)

See you later, Cross.

Fuck!

(train rumbling)

(melancholic music)

(melancholic music continues)

He's at the corner. There, the corner.

Sir. Your son had a seizure.

[Father] His mother is looking after him.

He should be fine.

We should take him in.

[Father] Tried to fix him so many times.

Sir, I don't think you understand.

Your son needs medical treatment.

God will take care of him,

better than me, better than you.

(mother speaks Hindi) - Cross! Cross!

(mother speaking Hindi)

(melancholic music)

[Verdis] How's Rut doing?

I don't know.

I've known Rut 15 years.

I don't believe he'd try to kill a baby.

But he was up on that edge.

We all work in the darkness.

You don't gotta let it inside you.

Look out for your partner, Cross.

That's all I'm saying.

Gotcha.

(dispatch chatter)

(suspenseful music)

(car horns honking)

(radio beeping)

[Dispatch] Four-five Young. Four-five Young.

Man on the roof. Bushwick Avenue, Jefferson Street.

- It's Jefferson Street. - Four-five Young.

For the jumper, up.

(sirens wailing)

That's Rut's place.

(Cross panting)

(sirens continues wailing)

(sirens continues wailing)

Yo, get, get the bag.

Get the bags. Let's go.

Go! (dispatch chatter)

(sirens wailing)

(Cross panting)

(dispatch chatter)

(dramatic music)

(Cross panting)

(sirens continue wailing)

(dispatch chatter continues)

Wait. Wait.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. - Who is that?

Who is that? - Listen. Look at me.

Look at me.

Get off me.

- Stop. - Let me go!

Let me go!

Fuck! Rut!

(inhales sharply) Rut!

(whimpering) Rut, man! No!

[Verdis] Hey no, wait. Wait.

(grunting) Please! Fuck!

Rut! Rut!

[Verdis] I got him. I got him.

I got him. Go.

(Cross screaming and sobbing)

(screaming) Rut! Oh, fuck!

(sirens wailing)

Rut! Rut!

No, man! No!

Oh fuck. Oh fuck. (whimpers)

(Cross panting)

(somber music)

(somber music continues)

(Cross screaming)

(somber music continues)

(Cross moaning)

(bus engine rumbling)

(train rattling)

I'm sorry.

Listen, Ollie, you need help.

I can't help you.

(train screeching)

Please don't call me again.

(sirens wailing)

(somber music)

(flies buzzing)

(flies continue buzzing)

(train rumbling) (train horn blowing)

(ethereal music)

(melancholic music)

(melancholic music continues)

(door rattles)

I don't know if you remember me.

I was one of the medics when you had your baby.

I came here because I wanted to tell you what happened,

so you wouldn't think it was something else.

I wanted to tell you the truth.

The truth?

You thought she'd be better off dead than with me.

Don't lie.

You had no right to take my baby away from me.

I know. I'm sorry.

I had been clean.

That's why I was here.

[Cross] Yeah, I remember you said that.

So where's the other one that took her? Huh?

He too scared to come up here?

No. He's dead.

He killed himself.

- They hadn't told me that. - Yeah.

How's the baby doing?

She's with my mother until I get back on my feet.

You know, you start doing this job

because you wanna help people.

Sometimes you just end up doing the complete opposite.

That's what happened.

(clears throat) And we were very, very, very wrong.

I don't expect you to forgive us for that.

I'm really glad the baby's all right.

Me too.

[Mother] Rosario!

(sirens wailing) (fire roaring)

Go save my daughter. Go save my daughter.

(speaks Spanish) Please.

[Officer] EMS. Stand by.

- Rosario! - What are you doing?

Cross! Wait for the all clear.

Where, where are you going?

Cross! - Save my daughter!

Just save my- (dispatch chatter)

[Verdis] Cross!

It's not clear!

(sirens wailing)

Cross!

(fire roaring)

(Cross panting)

(fire whooshing)

All right.

Just relax, okay? I got you.

(Cross panting)

It'll be all right.

All right. Here we go.

Here we go. Here we go.

All right. I got you, okay?

I got you. Just breathe.

There we go. Come back to me.

Come on. Come on, come back to me.

Yeah, come on. Come back to me.

Hey. Can you hear me?

There. There you are.

There you are.

Hey, just relax. Okay?

Just breathe, I got you.

(air whooshes)

(somber music)

(sirens wailing)

(dispatch chatter)

(somber music continues)

Thank you so much for saving her.

[Cross] Of course.
