Original subtitles

- Until you guys are ready to grow up

and worry about someone other than yourselves,

you're both grounded.

- You really need to think about this.

- I can't be like you.

I can't keep giving up pieces of who I am

just because this is how it's done.

- You slept with someone.

- I know, I know it was wrong, and I'm wrong.

I'm so sorry, Tris.

- I am responsible for the safety

of everyone on those planes and if you are using...

- No, I would never put my patients at risk.

Or my coworkers.

- You asked me to write you a prescription

knowing you were going to abuse it.

I love you, Hayley, but you used me.

[soft eerie music]

[sighs]

[exhales deeply]

[ominous tone]

[breathing heavily]

- Ms. Roberts, this panel was put together

to uncover the details

surrounding a medevac call you attended

yesterday evening.

In situations like this,

it's protocol to debrief everyone involved

when there's been a fatality.

[tense music]

[opening theme]

- Well, uh, the first thing you should know

is that we came on at midnight.

As in the night before the call.

You see, Hayley and I, basically, did a 24-hour shift--

- Which isn't standard, I should add.

But we're always understaffed in the North.

- Right, right, of course.

- Why don't you start at the beginning?

- Sure, great.

The beginning. [chuckles]

You see, we were um...

We were all really shocked.

- That is like the third load of things

he's lugged out of there. - Yeah, plus two boxes earlier.

I mean, nobody knew what happened

to Tristan and Nowak when they went to Toronto,

but clearly, something happened, I mean...

Whatever it was must have been big because they were a great...

couple, um... Anyway, uh,

I then went to the hangar to see Wheezer...

Chief Pilot Heaseman.

Because before this, Bodie and I were ground--

- No, no, no.

- You know what? I'm going to let Bodie tell this part.

It was a perfect summer night.

Gosh, I love the North, you know?

Sun rises before 5 A.M. Sun sets after 10 P.M.

- You don't need to paint such a detailed picture, Mr. Chopra.

- Got you. Um...

Nowak had been flying

for a couple of hours before I joined him.

He seemed quiet, but, hey, that's okay.

There was a lot going on in the cabin.

- The bump on your collarbone

probably means it's broken.

You'll need X-rays and the doctor will probably

give you a brace for six weeks.

I know, sucks for summer.

- It's not like I was gonna see summer this year anyway.

- After his appointment at TCH,

Otis is headed straight to Thompson Youth

Correctional Facility. - Juvie.

- Oh, maybe not the best vacation plan.

- He's been in trouble a few times the last couple of years,

but then he decided to steal a vehicle,

go joyriding, and destroy private property.

- I didn't destroy it. I took it apart.

- And then fell and broke his arm running away from security

at the Windy Lake Tractor dealership.

- Wait, you stole a tractor, kid?

- No. I didn't drive it off the lot.

I could've, but I didn't.

- I mean, that just kind of sounds like a teenage prank, no?

- You know what those combine harvesters are worth?

More than my house.

- That is impressive,

but what did you think was gonna happen?

- You know things aren't always as clear-cut as they seem.

People do the wrong thing for all kinds of reasons.

- Yeah, uh, listen, um...

Nowak, I know that we're not particularly...

...close, but if there's anything you ever

want to talk about, I'm here, you know?

Maybe you want to talk about yourself or... Tristan.

Maybe.

Okay.

- Saw a lot of kids like that at Cadets.

Parents enrolled them hoping it would straighten them out.

Worked for me.

[Chopper] We then dropped off Otis

and his social worker in Thompson.

Hayley took them to the hospital.

A couple of hours later, we got a call

about a possible cardiac patient at Prospect River.

Nowak went with Hayley, but it's SOP for a pilot

to stay back with the aircraft for safety reasons.

We use that time to do paperwork,

get ahead of aircraft prep

as there is always something to do.

[Chopper chuckles]

[clattering]

Damn it.

[clattering]

Better not be a snake.

[tense music]

[screams]

- Don't shoot!

- What the hell, kid?

- I thought you were flying back to Windy Lake.

I needed a ride home from Thompson.

- But you were supposed to be in Juvie.

- I was supposed to do a lot of things.

Get an X-ray, see the doctor.

- So what? You just came back

to the airport to just... hitch a ride?

Dude, it is illegal to stow away in an airplane.

- Why? - Because it's dangerous!

You could've gotten hurt, you could've gotten us hurt too.

- You're not going to leave me out here, are you?

- No, we're going to take you back to Thompson.

But when Hayley gets back with the SAT phone,

we're calling your social worker.

Move!

You know, kid,

you're already in a lot of trouble.

This is not helping your cause.

Do me a favour, stay in here.

[ominous tone]

- How much oil does this thing take?

- What the fuzz? Kid, I told you to stay inside.

- The engine looks like it's backwards.

And that exhaust is at the front.

Is that a reverse-flow turbine?

- I mean, it's also called a free-turbine.

Yeah, I mean, it's more fuel-efficient.

Canadian design.

Two-- How do you know this?

- I like machines.

- Careful with your arm.

- [gasps] - Cool.

- Yeah.

- Can I top up the oil?

- Yeah, here you go.

Uh, easy does it.

Oh, okay, that's... that's great. Thank you.

And that's the cap.

We can screw that back on. Ex--

[sighs]

- We can't fly without the cap on, can we?

- Nope. - Because the oil

will leak under pressure. - Yup.

- So we're stuck here? And it's all my fault.

Now, I can get in trouble for this too.

- Whoa, whoa, careful, kid. - I mess everything up.

And I'm not even trying to make trouble.

[sighs]

I didn't steal a combine,

and I wasn't joyriding.

I just wanted to understand how it worked.

I was gonna put it back together.

I was gonna leave it just like I found it.

But then those stupid security guards showed up

and they thought I was trying to break it,

and I couldn't explain. No one ever understands me

when I try to explain.

- Kid, I...

- I'm not hiding, I just needed a minute.

- You know, the great thing about machines

is that with the right tool,

you can fix almost anything.

- How'd you get it out?

- Took the cowling off. Went for a treasure hunt.

You want to help me put this cap back on?

See what the guts of the engine look like?

[chuckles]

- Want a juice box? - Where did you get all those?

- Grabbed them from the hospital.

- Is this fruit punch? - They're my favorite.

- Dude, mine too. - [laughing]

- Here, c'mon, let's go.

Alright, don't blink.

Here it comes. Four, three, two...

- Oh, wow.

Awesome! - Here, check this out.

You see the Little Dipper?

The North Star is at the end of its handle.

And then from there, you can see

the four pillar stars of the Pegasus constellation.

Just over to the left.

It's my personal favorite.

- How come?

- It was the first planet found

orbiting a star outside our solar system.

Now, that star, technically, is a sun.

- Because a sun's only a sun when planets revolve around it.

- Yeah.

But also, it kind of gives me hope.

Like, maybe we, uh...

really aren't as alone as we feel sometimes.

Maybe you just haven't found the other planets

that are like you out there yet.

- Are you going to call the cops when we get to Thompson?

- Where are your parents, Otis?

What do they think about all this?

- They died a couple of years ago.

Car accident. - I'm sorry.

- My older sister takes care of me.

She doesn't want me to be taken away, but...

I know I'm not like other kids.

I'm hard to deal with.

- I got into trouble for joyriding too.

But I actually was joyriding

because...

[sighs] I don't know, I think I just

did it because I was bored.

[emotional music]

I think I just needed a...

[vehicle approaching]

...challenge.

- [Hayley sighs] False alarm.

The patient just had indigestion.

- We do have a patient for Thompson.

Uh...

Do you think we can pencil a relief pilot, Cap?

- Think we can make an exception.

- Left, bank left.

Right, bank right.

Forward is down

and back is up.

[chuckling]

Gentle movements, nothing sudden.

- No way! No effing way!

- This is all you, kid, this is all you.

You got this. You got this.

[chuckles]

Gentle, gentle. Yeah.

Hey, is there a cadet squadron in Thompson?

- Not yet.

- Gentle. There we go.

- Mr. Chopra, why are you telling us all this?

- I thought you told me to start from the beginning.

- The beginning of the call with the fatality.

- Right. You see, Nowak was dutied out

after Prospect River, so Bodie came on.

That's who I was with. For the rest of my shift.

- Right, we have some questions about that.

- We heard you're leaving SkyMed.

- [clears throat] That hasn't been decided yet.

For me, it all started the day before.

He's 30 minutes late, where is he?

- Kingsley said he'll co-sign the loan for the plane,

he'll be here! - If we don't get that loan,

we can't make a move on the plane,

and the seller needs an answer tonight.

Is this crazy?

Me starting a cargo business. This is crazy, right?

I'm a pilot. A grounded pilot.

- Hey... Spiral McGee.

The loan manager will see the potential

in the growth planning model in the business plan.

- I could not have done this without you.

- I know. It was fun.

I'm learning a lot in my accounting apprenticeship.

- I'm sorry you had to drop out of phlebotomy for accounting,

and uh...

I'm sorry I couldn't help you get out of Thompson.

- You know, it's funny. I used to think I wanted

to get away as far away from this place as possible.

But now I think what I really wanted

was just something that excited me.

[phone ringing]

- Is it Kingsley? - It's Crystal.

[phone beeps]

Hello?

- The housekeeper at his hotel found him this morning.

Went into renal failure and collapsed.

I called as soon as I saw his name on the chart.

- I knew that he was sick, but...

he just came into my life.

I thought that we had more time.

- Have you considered donating?

[sighs]

[Dr. Paul] We're sorry to hear about your father.

And because of the shortages,

you were back to work soon after?

- Northern Health in Thunder Bay

is looking for a new medevac carrier.

They're struggling to find a company in Ontario

that can handle the volume that they need.

So I'm getting pressure from our ops manager

to make sure that we keep all our planes in the air

to prove to them that we can

so that we can land this contract.

Which means I need all my pilots flying.

Even the chuckleheads who made idiot mistakes

that I'm still mad about.

So...

You see my conundrum.

- We shouldn't have put you in this position, sir.

- Captain Bodie's right, sir.

We know better and we'll do better.

- No. More. Dumb. Shit.

You're on 9-2-2 with Nowak.

And he's in a mood, so don't be late.

Call just came in from Windy Lake.

- Thank you. Seriously.

[emotional music]

- You okay? Heard about Kingsley.

I'm sorry.

- I used to think that I needed to be

a pilot because it's who I am.

Now I can't lose flying because...

it's the only thing I know how to do.

- You know that some people are born with only one kidney?

I didn't know it either.

But I flew with this guy, been healthy all of his life.

One day, he fell test-driving these broken rollerblades.

Took him to the hospital, gave him an X-ray,

we found out he was one of those people.

Would have gone his whole life never knowing.

Except for those rollerblades.

- And what happened to him? Lose his licence?

- No, he flies for WestJet.

Still owes me 50 bucks for those rollerblades.

- We understand you joined Ms. Roberts on shift

on SkyMed 911 later that evening.

How did she seem when you arrived?

We heard that she'd been working for almost 24 hours.

[Bodie] Um...

Uh, she seemed just as fit for duty as any of us.

- And how did you ascertain that?

Did you speak to Ms. Roberts

before you received the call to the scene?

- I was going to, but...

- Psst! Bodie!

Come here, quick.

- I'm confused.

This was the day of the fatality?

And you saw Ms. Highway at the airport too.

We don't have any record of her working yesterday.

- There aren't enough nurses in the North

so I wasn't working yesterday, no.

But between SkyMed and school, I'm always working.

[Jeremy imitating sirens]

- And you're really rocking and rolling,

you got the sirens going on.

Someone's in the backseat having a heart attack,

you're like "Slow down!" And you're like,

"Wait, I'm gonna get you somewhere safe!

Hold on!" You hit a jump. Vroom!

Get some air. Whoa!

- Yeah... but you'll never get as much air as a pilot.

Uh, remember, kids, an ambulance might go

140 kilometers an hour, but an airplane will go 430.

Just saying.

- Right, but, but our heroes

put safety first.

And paramedics, like Mr. Jeremy, save lives.

- Does anyone know how fast the blood in your veins moves?

It travels three feet per second.

That means the blood that's in your heart right now

can go all the way to Churchill in two days.

- My blood's going somewhere?

- I don't like blood. Seeing it makes my tummy hurt.

[Wheezer whispers] Me too.

- Okay.

Who wants to listen to their heart?

Volunteers get a sucker.

- Ooh, bribery, nice.

[children chattering]

- You take these ones here.

- [phone ringing] - I'll be right back.

- [Crystal] There you go. - Hey.

- Hello?

[ominous music]

I'll go get my flight bag.

- You made a house call?

Was that with SkyMed?

There's no record of you

taking a house call yesterday.

- The patient has requested I respect

their legal right to confidentiality.

[knocking]

- Thanks for coming.

An ER doctor should know better than to have

a glass table in the house.

Tripped and fell into the stupid thing.

- Well, looks like the worst of the lacerations are on your arm.

Surprised you called.

After the other day,

I wasn't sure I'd be your first choice.

- These aren't that deep.

The glue should keep them closed.

- Going somewhere? - Pass me the ultrasound.

- What do you need it for?

Are you hurt somewhere else?

Doctor Noah, you called me on my day off

and you asked me to sneak a portable ultrasound

from the hospital. What is going on?

- I've had ulcers in the past.

Under a bit of pressure,

so when I started having some epigastric pain

the last couple of days...

- But you can't even see an ulcer on an ultrasound.

Not unless it's perforated.

Is that why you fell?

- It was a sharp pain. It took me off-guard.

And it hasn't perforated.

- A perforated ulcer is not just a sharp pain.

It is excruciating.

Dr. Noah, if you were in that much pain,

you need to go to an ER and you need an endoscope.

- You want me to go to my place of work and be examined by who?

My colleagues? Worse, my students?

- I'm your student. - You're different.

- An untreated ulcer is dangerous.

If it perforates and we don't get you to an OR in time,

then-- - You think I don't know that?

You know how hard I've worked to be taken seriously

by my colleagues and my students?

I'll be damned if I throw that all away

so that they can take turns

practicing doing an abdominal exam on me

in a paper gown.

- What if I can get you to the hospital

without anyone knowing?

- Where's the party at? [chuckles]

- Keep it down. - What?

What's the emergency?

Couldn't get a hold of Hayley or something?

- Hayley doesn't have an ambulance

and we aren't talking right now.

I need to sneak Dr. Noah to a hospital,

she's sick and she doesn't want anyone to see her.

- Wait, hold on, hold on.

You called me because your boss is being stubborn?

Like, I know you don't take me seriously, Crys, but...

I'm graduating soon. Okay? They could kick me out

for this kind of shit. C'mon, like...

- Do you know how many times I put my ass

on the line for you?

How many times I could've been fired or worse...

[sighs]

- Lead the way, yeah.

- Yeah.

We'll take the ambulance

to the morgue entrance

and no one will see us go in that way.

- I'm sure you know proper placement, Dr. Yana,

if you wouldn't mind.

- Uh... She doesn't need that.

We just need a ride to the hospital.

- She goes in my ambulance, she follows my rules.

Okay? I just thought you might be more comfortable

- if you did it. - [sighs]

- Yeah? Thanks.

So you've had epigastric pain for a few days,

any shortness of breath or anything?

- Just from the pain. From the ulcer.

Can't believe I'm even considering this.

Even if you can get me to the hospital

without anyone knowing,

who's going to do the endoscope?

- Well, you taught me how to do a T.E.E.

and that's basically an endoscope, right?

You just go farther into the stomach?

- Record it so I can look at it later.

- [machine beeping] - Ooh, ooh,

whoa, are you two serious?

You don't have an ulcer, she's having a heart attack.

- [Dr. Yana and Crystal] What?! - Look, you didn't check?

47-year-old woman, high-stress job, abdominal pain.

I mean, women are more likely to present with deferred pain.

And statistically, Black women are more likely

to have a heart attack. I mean, c'mon,

you guys know this, right?

- Uh... Get the nitroglycerin.

Let's get you over to the couch.

[spraying]

- [groans] - How did I miss this?

- Rookie mistake. You let the patient tell you

what's wrong with them instead of checking for yourself.

Okay, now we wait to see if the pain goes away

or if we gotta take her to the ER

I'll get the stretcher.

- So...

What's the deal with Mr. Hunkamedic?

- He's graduating as a PCP soon,

but don't worry, I trust him.

- [chuckles] I've seen you at the hospital,

there's always tension.

Is your future or ex mistake?

- Ex. - Mmm...

- Uh, I screwed it up.

- That's medicine for you.

You heal the masses, ruin your marriage.

- Your... wife wasn't home when you fell.

The suitcases. Did something happen?

[door opens]

- Alright, we can hit you twice more with nitro,

but after that...

- Yana, we need to get you to the Cath lab

in Winnipeg for an angiogram.

- I need a referral from an ER and I'm not going to TCH.

- You'd rather have a STEMI than be embarrassed?

Listen, I've seen people in the ER with way more

embarrassing stories than a heart attack, I mean...

- Dr. Sung had a cardiologist friend in Winnipeg.

He's helped me out once before, I still have his number.

If he'd accept you at the Cath lab...

- If... you can get me to Winnipeg

without anyone knowing.

[mysterious music]

- Psst. Bodie.

Come here, quick.

We have to take a cardiac patient to Winnipeg.

[indistinct whispering]

- Isn't that... - Yeah, we have to keep

this fast and quiet, okay?

I'll explain everything when we're in the air.

- Hey, do you guys got this? I gotta go shadow Hayley.

Or, actually, I'll stay, I'll stay.

- No, we've got it. Go, and thank you.

For everything.

- Okay.

What's up, man?

[beeping]

- Crap, I got a call. Sorry.

Hey, you two got time for a quick trip to Winnipeg?

- Dr. Sung's friend is expecting us

and he'll get you right in for an angiogram.

- Okay.

How's your grandmother?

- Good.

Chemo's rough, but...

She's happy to be with her community.

Practicing her medicine too.

- You were right about not wanting to be like me.

- That's not what I meant.

- No, I did give up too much.

My wife left me last night.

That's why the suitcases were out.

She's probably already in Winnipeg

waiting for her connecting flight to Jamaica.

She said she couldn't stand around another second

watching me die a slow death on the job.

Jahnaya and I, we moved here when I got into med school.

And I...

learned pretty fast

the people here just don't trust a doctor

with an accent.

Can't advance

unless you speak like them, act like them.

Dress like them.

So that's what I did. I dropped my accent,

I changed the way I dressed.

Changed how I spoke.

[scoffs]

It's pretty hard to hold on to yourself when...

when you change so much on the outside.

And eventually,

the inside changes too.

Don't be like me, Crystal.

[tense music]

- You see? Somebody else had to talk some sense into you.

- Jahnaya?

- I called her. Her number was in your cell.

Just really seemed like you two needed to talk.

- I am so sorry, Jahnaya.

I let this job take over real parts of me.

The best parts.

I let it ruin my mind and body

until there was nothing left of me.

And there was nothing left to give you.

I know this is 20 years too late,

but I'm just glad that I got to say this.

- You're not gone.

Okay, you just got lost.

If you're lost, you can be found.

I love you, you silly woman.

- I love you too, Jahnaya.

[sniffling]

- Ms. Highway, you keep saying, "the patient."

Who was this patient?

We have no record of any patient.

- None of this is relevant.

And it's redundant that we're even

interviewing Ms. Highway.

She didn't attend the fatality call.

- But she was with Jeremy Wood, who left to shadow Ms. Roberts.

He was at the scene of the call.

Now Jeremy isn't a licenced paramedic yet.

But you called him to assist you.

We have some questions about his skill level,

about whether he has the training

to attend a scene like this with Ms. Roberts.

- No, Jeremy is a good paramedic.

I would trust him with my life.

- We understand that you have a history with Mr. Wood

that might make you feel the need to protect him.

But no one would blame Mr. Wood if he wasn't up for this.

Even a highly experienced first responder--

- Jeremey knows what he's doing.

And you know that.

- Dr. Noah?

- Mr. Wood is a very good paramedic.

Ms. Highway isn't protecting him.

She's protecting me.

I was the patient. I was flown to cardiology in Winnipeg

and I received a stent.

Luckily, we got to the hospital quickly enough.

And...

that's all I needed. If you'll excuse me.

[chair scraping]

[tense music]

- The fatality was not Jeremy's fault.

- It's my fault.

I'm the reason the patient is dead.

[Leah] I reviewed the deposition

and we'll file on Monday when I'm back from the cottage.

My assistant will follow up. Thanks, Marsha.

- Thanks, have a good weekend.

[call beeps off]

Dad and Nate are building a fire tonight.

C'mon, Sadie.

We stayed for your soccer game

and now it's family weekend time.

- I don't want family weekend time.

I don't want to be with you.

I want to be with my friends.

I'm missing the first sleepover of the season.

Whole team's going except for me.

- This weekend has been planned for months.

And you'll have, like, four more sleepovers

with your team this summer.

I know what'll cheer you up.

- [radio plays music] - We're on a private road,

want to take center stage?

♪ I just came to say hello

♪ Hello

Woo!

♪ Hello

♪ Hello, oh, oh, oh ♪

Sweetie, you gotta get down. I can't really see.

- Honey! - [tires screeching]

[crashing]

- Damn it.

- Hey, thought we agreed you were going to take leave.

- [Hayley sighs] I am.

And I, uh, thought we agreed

that you were going to let me talk to Crystal so...

Guess we're both disappointed.

- Are you okay?

- What do you mean okay? I gave you all my pills so...

- No, um... [scoffs]

What's your plan? Did you pick a program?

- No, I don't need one

because I stopped taking the pills--

- Hayley, Hayley, Hayley.

Just because you're not taking anything,

doesn't mean you're okay. You can't just white-knuckle it

through withdrawal and think that it's over.

Hey, it's not going to be over until you deal with

some of the stuff that's underneath that.

- Whoa,

wow, when did you become a therapist?

That's amazing, I had no idea.

- All I'm saying...

is you cannot do this without support. No one can.

- You have no right,

you've no right to rat me out to my best friend.

You have no right to tell me what to do. You're not my boss.

Better yet, you're not... you're not even my boyfriend!

- Hey, Hayley, I know we said 4:00.

- Look at that, 3:57. - [sighs]

I can give you guys three more minutes. I'll come back.

- No, actually, it's perfect timing.

I just got a page, wheels up in 15.

Let's go.

[tense music]

- Leah Brooks, 45. Her car's onboard safety called it in.

Ambulance van's on its way.

Transport the patient back to the plane.

- There's so much blood. - Yeah, moose bleed.

- Please... Please... - HR's high, start an IV.

- Okay. - Sweetie? Where's my daughter?

- Was she in the car with you?

- The roof, she's in the sunroof.

- She must have been thrown.

We got another patient somewhere, a little girl.

Her name's Sadie.

Sadie! - Sadie!

- Sadie!

- I'm going to lean you back, alright?

Nice and slow.

[men yelling] Sadie! Make some noise!

- Sadie!

Can you hear us?!

- Please, you have to find my baby.

- They're looking, okay? They'll find her.

You hit your head, but can you tell me where it hurts?

There's a lot of blood, I can't tell which is yours.

- Sadie! - Sadie!

Where are you?

- Hey, grab the backboard. - Coming.

- This is all my fault, I put her in danger.

- Sadie! - Sadie!

- Sadie!

[sobbing]

Baby!

- Sadie!

- Okay, here, help me, uh...

- Help me get her out. - Okay.

[Hayley grunts] Alright,

watch her neck, alright?

Ready?

One, two...

- Over here!

- Hey. Sadie, Sadie, Sadie.

She's over here, I found her.

- She okay? I have to go to her.

- No, stay here. I'll go check on her, okay?

- She's a little hot.

Just... Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.

What is that?

- It hurts!

- What do you got? - Vitals are good.

[Leah] Sadie!

- Hang on, Leah. - Is she okay?

[Sadie] It really hurts.

- What is it, what's wrong? - She's okay!

She's got a broken femur.

- Okay.

[sobbing]

Okay.

[screaming]

[crying]

- Hang on, Sadie.

No pedal pulse. She needs a traction splint.

Can you handle that? - It's a two-person job.

- I start the fentanyl. Then you and Bird

can deal with the splint. Keep an eye on Mom

while I get this going. Hey, Bodie!

Call dispatch! We have two critical patients.

- We need another medevac! - [Sadie crying]

- I know it hurts, sweetie. But this will help, okay?

Once we get your leg in a splint,

it'll feel a lot better, alright?

[machine beeping]

- Hayley! BP's dropping.

Fast. Hey, stay with me, stay with me.

Just stay awake, eh? Just...

[tense music]

- Switch to Sadie.

- Hey, hold on.

Hold on, kid.

- Her abdomen's rigid.

She's got internal injuries, maybe a ruptured diaphragm.

What's the ETA on the other medevac?

- There isn't one available. - What?

Wheezer and Reese are on a call with Stef in Ontario.

Lex and Nowak are taking a cardiac patient to Winnipeg,

they're both an hour away. Everyone else dutied out.

- I can't take two critical patients in a plane.

Uh, the transport van!

Can Jeremy take Sadie on that to the nearest hospital?

- Yeah, 90 minutes, plus 45

if we take the other patient to the airport first.

- Sadie's more stable, she can go in the van.

- Start the splint. - On it.

- No. No, you... put my daughter in the plane.

- I know you're worried about your daughter, I get that,

but you need a bigger hospital like Thompson, okay?

- No. - You need to go by plane!

- No. I almost lost her once tonight.

Because of a stupid risk that I took.

You put her in the plane.

- Look, the ambulance van, it's just a transport vehicle.

There's no major medical supplies.

The plane's faster. - I am a lawyer, okay?

I know that it is a patient's right to refuse care.

I am alert, I have capacity.

Put my kid in the plane.

[Sadie crying]

[Sadie screaming]

- Almost done, Sadie, hold on.

[Sadie screaming, crying]

- Please, please.

I don't care if this is my dying wish.

I want this.

Please, please, please...

[tense music]

- Do you think there may be some personal factors

that might have influenced your decisions?

- No.

[Hayley] We have to split up.

Leah needs to go straight to Brandon Hospital.

Bodie and I will take Sadie to the plane on an ATV.

- If we're gonna take the mom to Brandon,

you should go with her.

- You can't give narcotics. Sadie's on fentanyl,

you won't be able to manage her during transport. I have to go

with her on the plane.

Look, you can push fluids and give oxygen.

That's all I'd be able to do for her anyway

until she gets to a hospital. Here.

I'm giving you all my saline, okay?

Just keep pushing fluid, put a pressure bag on it.

You got this.

Okay?

[ominous tone]

- We were fighting.

Right before it happened.

I told her I didn't want to be with her.

- Hey, your mom reminds me of my mom.

She's a tough cookie. - Did you two fight?

- Sometimes.

I, um, didn't always do what she wanted me to do.

And I... didn't always make her feel

like I wanted to be with her.

- Did your mom forgive you?

[tense music]

[machine beeping rapidly]

- Your BP's dropping.

- I feel funny.

I feel... - Sadie, Sadie!

- What is this? What's wrong?

- Her femur must've nicked an artery.

She's got an internal bleed.

I don't have the saline...

I gave it all to Jeremy. Ugh!

- Is there anything you can replace it with?

- No! Radio the ambulance in Thompson,

tell them to have fluids standing by.

- Got it.

- C'mon, Sadie, stay with me.

Stay with me, Sadie.

Nine-year-old girl, distal femur fracture,

developed internal bleeding in flight, BP 80 on 50.

Get her to the OR stat.

[phone ringing]

[phone beeps]

Officer Bird, um, you can tell Leah that Sadie's okay.

She developed a femoral bleed mid-flight,

but I got her to the OR.

How's Leah, how's mom?

[melancholic music]

Leah would still be alive

if I'd taken her on the plane with me.

She wouldn't have died from a ruptured diaphragm.

- Leah Brooks died from a brain aneurysm.

- No, her... her injuries were to her abdomen.

- From the accident, yes.

But Jeremy Wood followed your instructions perfectly.

Leah arrived at the Brandon Hospital alive.

And she likely could have survived the injuries

to her abdomen.

But she had an undiagnosed brain aneurysm.

The trauma from the crash caused a slow leak.

No one caught it until anesthetist

was prepping her for surgery in Brandon

and saw one of her pupils was blown.

She died minutes later.

- I did a... I did neurological assessment.

- The assessment would have been normal then

because it was a slow leak.

And the symptoms of a leaking brain aneurysm,

SOB, LOC, headache,

are the same as the symptoms from her ruptured diaphragm.

There's no way you could've caught it, Ms. Roberts.

You do understand the point of my inquiry

is not to assign fault in Leah Brooks' death.

It was an awful and unfortunate coincidence

that Leah had an undiagnosed brain aneurysm.

- Um...

So what was the point of all of this?

- The coroner investigates any death

within 24 hours of admission to hospital

to ascertain if a death could have been prevented.

I think this one could've been

if the Thompson region wasn't struggling

with a critical lack of resources.

You were at TCH the night it was so understaffed

flight medics had to keep the ER open.

I led this inquiry because I am campaigning

to recruit more staff and increase

the number of medevacs available.

No team should have to decide between medevac'ing

a critically ill woman

or her critically ill daughter.

Not because of lack of resources.

[soft emotional music]

[medical machines beeping]

[indistinct PA announcement]

[Sadie] Mom?

Mom?

Momma?

- Sadie, it's Hayley.

From the plane, I was your nurse, remember?

- Momma?

Momma?

[soft emotional music]

- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm here.

It's okay, Sadie.

- I'm sorry, Mom.

I thought that I didn't want to be with you.

- I don't blame you.

I just wanted you to be okay.

It's all I ever wanted.

[exhales]

And you don't have to ap--

You don't have to apologize.

There isn't anything...

...I would never forgive you for.

[♪♪]

[muffled sobbing]

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey.

I'm sorry.

I-I wanted to respect your privacy, but I just...

- A doctor who treats herself

has a fool for a patient.

And I was a fool.

I thought I was helping you, Crystal.

Teaching you to play the game by their rules.

But you were right.

You have to be there on your own terms.

And I should be one of the people

helping you to change the rules.

So thank you.

Thank you for teaching me something.

- You ready to go?

Taking Yana home to Kingston.

To heal with family and friends.

- To heal a lot more.

[hopeful music]

[inaudible conversation]

[medical machines beeping]

[knocking]

- Come in.

- Hey. Um... [crying]

I think you were right.

I don't think I can do this alone.

And I think I need help.

[sobbing]
