Original subtitles

So how was practice? Awesome.

We tried this new floor -checking drill.

I slammed Joe Blake into the board so bad, you could see his face imprinted on

the glass.

Joey Blake, he's that big kid, isn't he? Yeah, framed him royally.

He's going to nail you like that.

I know.

I get him. Pretty cool.

County officials attribute the Baron's appearance to our unseasonably warm

winter. Me, I just think he's got a thing for pepperoni.

301, are you available for a call?

301, go ahead.

Hey, Jimmy, glad you're here.

What do we got?

17 -year -old boy, been gone since this morning. Didn't show up at school,

didn't come home for dinner.

Shotgun's missing.

Really? Mother says he's been kind of moody lately.

Isn't this Drew Nelson's house? He a friend of yours?

He goes to my school.

Can I check the house?

Yeah, there's a storage shed out back.

Okay, let's check it out. Stay here, I'll be right back.

Yeah. Matt, stay back.

Self -inflicted irrefutable trace residue in the hand.

Not good. Dr.

Giver is sedative.

As you can see, the importance of that first contact between mother and

child just cannot be overstressed.

It's amazing, isn't it?

Oh look, here comes the placenta.

Not again.

I still don't understand how you could let him see something like that. I told

him to stay back. He got curious, I guess. If I'd known what I was walking

on, I wouldn't have taken that call.

I know, I know.

I should have picked him up from hockey.

But Karen Kerwin got a staph infection, so there I was.

It's just one of those freak things.

Oh, God.

Drew Nelson.

He was in Matthew's Cub Scout pack. Do you remember that?

Yeah. You're a really nice kid.

You had a sweet smile.

You didn't leave a note?

Apparently not.

God.

What a way.

Jimmy, do you remember a few years back, all those kids in New Jersey, they

killed themselves, they gassed themselves in a garage?

Yeah. And do you remember that a few weeks later, all those other kids around

the country killed themselves in exactly the same way?

I mean, Patsy is not going to kill himself. Well, you know how he is,

Even if he knew something was wrong, he wouldn't tell us about it.

He's a normal, healthy teenager who saw something very traumatic, that's all.

He's not the kind of kid who would put a shotgun to his head. Yeah, well,

neither was June Nelson.

I'm shaking.

Mom, I'm fine, all right?

Just checking.

You don't believe me, do you?

It's not a question of believing.

I saw what I saw, okay?

The guy shot himself.

What's the big deal?

You know, it's perfectly okay to be upset.

I know.

I just need a little time to myself.

Okay.

If you need anything... Thanks.

Well, let me get this straight.

You want me to be your Lamaze coach?

Correct. Why?

Because I'm not cutting it.

I've got what they call vasovagal syncope.

I pass out at the sight of blood.

I couldn't get through the first class.

Fleeting.

Twice.

So you need a sub.

But why me? I mean, shouldn't the father be there?

The baby's father is out of the picture.

Okay, then what about... We're friends, aren't we?

Sure, but...

I need somebody who's used to the sight of blood.

A big guy with a helping attitude.

I don't know anything about Lamaze.

You played sports, didn't you?

Yeah, but, you know.

So you know how to coach.

And you delivered two babies as a policeman, right?

You heard about that, huh?

So, what do you say?

One night a week for the next five weeks.

That's it?

And the undying gratitude of your mayor.

Five weeks.

What's this?

The reason I'm not going to be a doctor.

Oh. What is it?

A cat. My very own from biology class. They want me to dissect a cat.

Yes, I remember that. Well.

Kimberly, I know how involved you are in animal rights, honey, but every doctor

has to go through this. This isn't about anti -vivisection.

It isn't?

Well, then, what is it?

I just can't do it.

If I can't dissect a cat, how am I going to dissect a human being?

And if I can't dissect a human being, how am I going to be a cardiothoracic

surgeon? Well, honey, maybe you won't.

Mom. It wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm not quitting.

There are other things in life besides medicine.

What is this?

Do you want me to quit?

No, I'm just trying to help.

By telling me not to be a doctor?

By providing perspective.

My commitment to medicine hasn't changed. The only thing that has changed

that I found out I may not have the stomach for it.

Well, maybe we could dissect it together.

I do not want my mother doing this for me.

Well, Kimberly, what do you want me to do?

I don't know.

How many of you were shocked when you heard Don killed himself?

Don? How many of you were scared?

Anybody mad at him for what he did?

Shocked, scared, mad.

It's okay to feel these things. It's okay to cry if you want.

It's even okay to giggle when you talk about it, if that's the way you feel.

But the important thing is that you do talk about it, which is what we're going

to do today, okay?

Who can tell me something about Don Nelson?

His name was Drew, okay? Not Don, Drew!

And he blew his head off with a shotgun.

What else do you need to know?

This is bogus.

He walked out? He was upset, Jimmy. I got Drew's name wrong. Apparently that

him off.

But I caught up with him after class. We spent a good hour together.

You got Matthew to talk for an hour?

Well, it took some doing.

He seems quite bottled up, which is what I wanted to talk to you about.

I think he could benefit from some therapy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Just hold on a minute. Now, Matthew saw a classmate with his face blown off. It

takes time to get over that.

Now, you can't expect him to just open up about it to someone he doesn't know.

I appreciate that, Sheriff.

But my impression is that your son is experiencing some communication problems

at home.

He's a teenager.

True. You know, you're right. I find that I have a hard time getting through

Matthew these days about anything.

Actually, Matthew talked quite a bit about you, Dr. Brock.

From what I could gather, you appear to have a healthy relationship with your

son.

What was striking was the absence of his father in the conversation.

What do you mean by that?

Well, without more information, I can't... Are you saying I don't have a

relationship with my son? What I'm suggesting, Sheriff, is there might be

area to explore here.

If Matthew Field cut off from you emotionally, it might affect his ability

process Drew's suicide.

Look, I'm sorry.

You don't know me.

And you don't know my son.

Now, he saw a terrible thing, but he will get over it.

Look, I'm going to be outside.

She was only trying to help, Jimmy. He needs to open up on this.

Yeah, I know, I know.

What's the matter, Jimmy?

I want to spend more time with him. I really do.

Damn it.

Things just keep getting in the way.

Why don't you go away for the whole weekend together, just the two of you?

don't you go camping the way you used to? I've always got a game. Oh, we can

miss one game.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Could go to Copper River and do some camping up there. That's pretty nice.

Do some fishing, too, yeah.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Got the frying pan?

Yeah, right here.

Okay, let's get the stuff in the car and go.

Okay.

Honey, Lauren Neubauer's here.

Lauren?

Hey, Jim.

Sorry to bother you at home. It's okay. Did you hear the latest?

About what?

That bear, he put a snout through a kitchen window this morning in North

Smelled bacon, apparently.

No pizza, huh?

I guess not, but he scared the hell out of a woman or three youngsters. It's on

the news. Did it attack them?

No, no, nothing like that.

PR problem more than anything else.

Wild bear on the loose, people get nervous.

Suddenly you get people shooting out at anything that moves.

Gotta go get it, right?

I'm sorry, but it's your jurisdiction.

Yeah, North Branch.

Well, that's near where we're camping, so... Hey, great. No, Jimmy, can't you

send somebody else? Honey, he's going to be perfectly safe.

I don't think so, Lauren. No. Hey, that animal's going to be a lot more scared

of us than we are of him.

Oh, come on, Mom. It'd be cool. Killing a bear? No. We're not going to kill it.

Well, not unless it's diseased or something.

No, the game plan is to tranquilize and relocate.

Look, Jimmy, I know this camping trip was my idea, but I don't think this is

what anybody needs.

Might be just what we do need, honey.

Mom, please.

Look,

I want you to call me every hour.

Yes.

Put that stuff in the car now. Go on. Matthew, say bye.

Bye, honey.

Oh, thanks.

Lauren.

Yeah,

see you there.

Okay. Okay. Yeah.

All right. We'll call you.

Okay. I'll see you Sunday, honey. See you Sunday. Bye.

Goodbye.

Bye.

So who's the

father? No, no.

Didn't ask. You didn't ask?

None of my business.

Lacoste. She just wants me to be a Lamarco skid, okay?

Nothing personal.

Buddy, she's asking you to do the most personal thing a guy can do with a girl.

Except, of course, you know, what you do to get her knocked up.

You don't think that's personal?

She's the mayor, buddy.

Wake up and smell the cordite, my friend.

She's looking for a father for that baby.

You think?

When she makes you get rid of your bike, you let me know.

I'm interested.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Look, I know you're kind of busy and all, but I just want to... What

you said before, this arrangement, I just want to make sure there's nothing

personal in it, right?

Right. I mean, my job is to get you through the delivery. That's it, right?

Right. After the baby's born, I'm out.

No calls in the middle of the night, no babysitting, nothing like that, right?

Right.

Right. Right.

Okay, good.

So, I'll see you at 7 .30.

The body is that of a 50 -year -old

Caucasian male.

Rigor is present in the extremities. Skin texture is normal.

There's a two centimeter puncture wound in the left anterior chest wall.

Carter? Hi, Jill.

You said 1 .30.

Yeah, come on in.

I could come back. No, no, no, no. This can wait.

The man tried to steal a pair of women's underpants.

She was in them at the time.

Knitting needle. Right ventricle.

So, what's up with Kimberly?

Well, she's, um, afraid to cut into a cat in her biology class.

Oh, yeah.

Could be a problem for a surgeon.

Exactly. Did you ever have any difficulty?

Never. I dissected everything I could get my hands on. Fetal pigs, frogs,

eyes, you name it. Hmm.

Got to be so bad, my mother wouldn't let me read any more scientific catalogs.

Well, this might be an imposition, but would you speak to her for me?

Me? Who better?

I could take her through an autopsy.

You're right.

Bad call.

Removing the brain, peeling the face.

I'll think of something.

Thanks. The bear struck again this morning, this time in Hidden Falls,

took out a family's kitchen before moving on. Felt like a big monster just

picked up the house and started shaking it.

Look at that.

You want to clean off. And I just painted in here.

Where were you at the time? In the shower.

You chased my wife up the stairs.

About how long ago did this happen?

About two hours. We hid in the bathroom.

Hell, I was afraid to come down.

What am I going to do about this mess?

Well, we'll send some people out, file a report, help as much as we can.

Big animals.

Better increase the dose than the tranquilizer gun.

Matthew?

Matt?

A bear coming out of hibernation this time of year, you'd expect to be

kind of slow -moving. Yeah.

You sure it's a bear you're looking for? Big black, hungry, getting aggressive.

You want to catch him, dogs is the way to do it.

That's no pet, son.

That's a work animal.

I'd like to keep her that way.

Matthew.

Last seen going in the forest around Nile Ridge Road here.

Yeah, I know a logging trail that can get us in there.

Don't let him get to you.

You're just petting her.

I know, he likes to keep his animals focused.

Takes a beast to catch a beast.

Well, that's what they'll tell you anyway.

Okay, let's go. I'll follow you.

Come on, Matt.

What do we got?

15 -year -old female found unconscious in a high school parking lot.

Barbiturates at her side. Mother's prescription.

She was drowning in vomit, Jill. IV set up a gastric lavage. Find her parents.

Let's get her hooked up to the EKG and pulse oxygen.

Call the lab. We need to run a panel. Take her head in your hand.

and lift it up off the mat a few inches.

Again, the object is to try and get her to relax.

Once she goes into labor, there's not going to be a lot of talking.

Learn to communicate without words.

Let her know she can trust you.

Just relax.

Let your head go.

Moms, really try and let your head fall into his hands.

Concentrate on relaxing.

You might want to try some of your breathing now, too.

Good.

You can massage your arms.

You can massage her neck.

Really let your head go.

Relax and breathe.

Sorry.

Concentrate on relaxing.

Practice communicating with her.

Without word.

She's going to be all right.

Her system hadn't absorbed the bipedal.

Thank God.

I don't think I could have told her parents if she didn't.

I mean, if she had died.

Isn't that awful?

That's what I was sitting here thinking.

Good thing she didn't get her hands on a gun.

If something like this happens, you realize how easily your kids can be

from you.

When I was 16, I was going through a bad time.

I had bad skin.

I failed a geometry test.

Then my boyfriend, who was my first love...

Broke up with me and went out with my best friend.

I took a whole bottle of aspirin. What?

Oh, as soon as I did it, I stuck my fingers down my throat and I threw it

up.

Max, your parents must have been horrified.

Oh, my parents had no idea to this day.

Oh, come on, Jill.

It's easy to make your parents think you're happy because they want to think

you're happy.

Don't you remember?

Yeah.

I just felt very alone, worthless.

But you know what really gets me?

Here I am.

I've lived this life.

I'm happy, sort of.

And I would have missed the whole thing.

You should have seen it, Mom. It was incredible.

Just like the Tasmanian devil.

The whole place was trashed.

Well, we got this dog. He's not a pet.

He's like specially trained to hunt.

Uh -huh.

Mostly we've been following him around.

Oh. I want to talk to you before you hang up.

Dad wants to talk to you.

Oh, okay. Bye, honey. I love you. Love you, too. Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi.

Well, he certainly sounds okay.

Oh, he's fine.

You sound tired.

Well, I've been slogging through the forest all day.

How was your day?

Well, a girl at school swallowed a handful of pills.

Oh, God, is she... No, no, it was a mild overdose.

We had to pump her stomach.

Don't tell Matthew.

No, no.

But it scares me, Jimmy. I feel like this thing is stalking us somehow.

Jill... I know it's silly.

Have you talked to him yet? I will.

Jimmy?

Honey, you can't force this.

All right.

Bye.

Bye.

Oh,

boy.

It's been a long time since we've done this, huh?

Yeah, a couple of times.

Has it been that long?

Went to Boundary Waters, remember?

Oh, yeah, that was a good one, yeah.

Drew Nelson was with us.

Was he? I didn't remember that.

You been thinking about him, Drew?

No, not really.

As if you are, I wouldn't talk about it.

What's it talk about?

I don't know.

Sometimes it helps to talk about it.

Put things together, make you feel better.

I feel great.

This has been a really excellent trip so far, Dad.

Think we'll catch that bear tomorrow, Dad?

Well, I sure hope so.

Night, Dad.

Night, Matt.

We've got something.

We're downwind, but keep your eyes open. I guarantee you he knows we're here.

Come on.

Give

you

a hint. The head comes out first.

Very funny.

What's this?

My wife gave me that after Cal was born.

First three months of life.

Any good?

Oh, I don't know. I never read it. I thought you might want to bone up on it,

though, Dad.

Take your coat.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks. Sure.

Never been in a morgue before.

Most people only make one visit.

Joke.

Smells creepy.

You think so?

Yeah,

I was thinking about your problem, and I remembered what my anatomy professor

told us about our cadavers.

He said to think of them as our patients.

And they have granted us a great privilege to enter a cathedral where no

set foot before.

Remember your Latin?

I never took Latin.

Really? No?

What's it say?

Give it a shot?

No.

This is the place where death nurtures life.

Carter, I don't think I want to do this.

Oh.

Kim. A bird?

Gotta start somewhere.

You guys okay?

Yeah, go ahead.

If anything happens, pick a tree and climb it high and as fast as you can.

Okay.

You think I hit him, but he didn't go down.

He's huge. He just killed the dog. Where's O 'Rourke?

He said he went after the bear.

All right, I'm going to get him out of here and call for backup.

I'll be with O 'Rourke. Okay, let's go.

Which

one

do you like better, Troy or Ryan?

I don't like Troy.

Scratch it.

Joseph.

Joey.

Joey Bay. Now starting for the Green Bay Packers.

Joey Bay.

I like it.

I just came from the Nelsons' house.

Trying to find some answers.

You getting it?

He was a nice kid.

Quiet, decent.

Why didn't you talk to somebody? I mean, there are places that you can call.

His mom's convinced it's her fault.

Should have paid more attention to him.

Should have kept the marriage together.

Should have gotten rid of the gun.

Should have, would have, could have. Yeah.

I don't think she's going to get over it, Kenny.

How do you get over something like that?

I'm busy.

Warm bow.

Relax. This is not a personal visit.

You still hate me, I understand.

But we'll thrash it out another time.

What is it?

You heard about that boy.

The one who took his life.

Go on.

I know the mother.

I handled the divorce.

It seems, you know, Henry, that she wants to set up a memorial fund, you

in honor of her son.

So I thought the suicide hotline that you established would be a fitting home.

Well, that's very thoughtful of you.

I'll have them get in touch right away.

Oh, thank you, Henry. Very good, Henry.

That woman is very upset, Henry, which you might imagine.

So I thought seeing you went through this yourself, maybe you could talk to

for a few minutes.

No, absolutely not.

There are counselors for that.

Counselors she doesn't know, Henry. You she knows.

I'm sorry.

I'd have nothing to say to her.

There's nothing anyone can say.

We're not going to cut it, are we?

Not yet.

First, we're just going to examine him. We observe that we might learn.

You want me to pick it up?

It's not going to fly away.

Oh.

It's light.

It has to be, doesn't it?

Look at the feathers. All the same?

No, the chest feathers are short, fluffy.

For warmth.

And the wing?

Longer. For loft? Aerodynamics.

Spread the wing.

Primaries, secondaries, culverts.

Every feather has a purpose.

How do you know all this?

Basic rule of anatomy, form follows function.

Look at the feet.

Anything special?

Big claw back here.

Hind toe, especially useful for perching.

What about the beak, big or small?

Small. What does that tell us?

He didn't talk too much.

Now you're getting it.

Turn it over on his stomach.

Oh, geez.

It's okay. Okay.

So what do you think?

Joey Bay.

Has a nice ring, huh?

And for a girl, I was thinking Jackie from Jackal, and you can use that when

want to go formal.

I've already picked out names.

Oh.

But thanks.

Sure. So what kind of names are you thinking about?

It's a secret.

You can't even tell me.

It's just that I've been reading up on it, and people say that names have a big

impact on a person's future. Take me.

My mom's part Italian.

She wanted to name me Francis.

My old man wouldn't allow it. My life would have been totally different as

Francis Lucko's.

So, what about preschool?

Bud Skeeter tells me that competition is fierce.

Can you believe that?

Anyway, I got these applications.

I'm sorry, what?

Applications.

Oh.

I'll look at them later.

Okay. But you ought to be thinking about preschool.

It's very important.

Don't forget it.

Thank you, Connie.

No problem.

Dad?

Stop.

No.

No, Matthew.

Stay back.

Matthew?

You okay?

Hey.

Matthew?

I had this dream.

This nightmare.

I found Drew.

At least I thought it was Drew, but when I got closer, I could see it wasn't.

It was... I thought it was...

Was it you?

I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Sorry, let it out. Let it out. I can't.

Matt, it's okay.

This lady at school, she didn't even know his name.

She wasn't there, Dad.

What the hell does she know about it anyway?

You saw something terrible I had to make sense of.

Scared me, too.

One day he was there, and then he was gone.

Just like that.

No second chance. Nothing.

It's like I never understood what death was before, Dad.

We lose some of our innocence when a life is suddenly gone.

No explanation, no sense.

Just horribly and irretrievably gone.

Now, I wish Drew was still here.

I wish you didn't see what happened to him.

But we both have to live with it.

And feel glad that we're still alive and we have each other.

What's this? Thanks for the loan.

Oh, you finished it already?

You were right.

Of course I was right.

About what?

The mayor.

She wanted to get her claws in me. You know, full -time dad.

Handwriting was on the wall, buddy. What, is she crazy?

I'm a single guy. I got places to go and people to meet.

What, am I going to waste my time changing diapers for someone I barely

You can't blame her for trying.

So how'd she take it?

I haven't told her yet.

Removing the heart, fully exposing the liver.

That's the heart, huh?

Amazing, isn't it?

I can give you a hundred reasons why this thing will stop, but no one knows

makes it beat.

Why did you become a coroner?

I mean, you're such a great teacher.

You think so?

Look at me. I'm staring into the guts of a dead bird and enjoying it.

Thanks to you.

Rather macabre distinction.

I'm serious.

Oh, I wasn't the most socially active student in med school, Kim.

No confidence, I guess.

My bedside manner would usually consist of me apologizing to the patient and go

downhill from there.

My pathology professor recommended an opening in forensic science.

I like it here.

This is my domain.

Here, you drive.

Yeah? Yeah.

Okay.

Let's remove the liver.

Okay, gently.

There we go.

I got a nice touch with the knife.

Really? Mm -hmm. Oops.

It's okay.

It doesn't feel a thing.

Have fun?

Kinda.

Everything all right?

Uh, fine. There's just a few things on your desk.

No bear, huh?

You borrowed a rock. Never saw it again.

Chased as far as Portage County out of our jurisdiction.

How you doing?

I'm a little better, yeah.

Don't worry about funeral expenses.

We'll work out a payment schedule.

Am I interrupting?

Oh, not at all. Come in, come in.

Valerie Nelson, Judge Henry Bone.

Hello, Judge.

They told me that I might find you here.

Doug, if we could have a few minutes.

Oh, certainly.

Certainly.

I thought perhaps we could talk about your son.

You coming?

No, I still got a little work to do.

You ready to take on that cat now?

I feel ready for anything.

Good.

If you ever want to do an autopsy, open invitation.

I'll let you know.

You got a minute?

Sit down, Cunning.

Well, what I got to say, I'd rather say standing up.

I think Joey Bay is a nice name.

You do?

Jackie, I'm not so sure of.

Just a suggestion.

So, what did you want to say?

Well...

I'm sorry.

For the way I acted before.

It was rude.

No, no, it's okay.

Maybe I was kind of pushy with the names and everything. You know, it's none of

my business.

It is your business.

I went into this alone.

I expected to go through it alone.

But... I guess it's not that simple.

Well, can I tell you something?

It feels real good to be a part of a new life.

And I'm not trying to scare you or anything.

I'm not looking to be the kid's father.

You don't scare me.

Well, for what it's worth, I'll tell you what I know about coaching.

You take a team through the season, you learn to depend on each other.

Everybody has a position, but no two players can play the same position,

otherwise you've got a hole somewhere.

And at the end of the season, Everyone turns in their uniforms and goes their

separate ways.

Some guys get to play together again, some don't.

But as the coach, you kind of like to hear from the guys once in a while and

how they're doing.

Look, I don't know what I'm trying to say exactly, but... I do.

You were in there a long time. How did it go?

I'd give her a few minutes, Doug.

Oh, you talked it out, huh?

We didn't do a lot of talking.

Oh.

You know, I could never cry for my son.

Not the day he died.

Not at the funeral.

Not a day since.

But I could cry for her, son.

Hard.

Maybe it was for more than her son, Henry.

Yeah.

Good night, Doug.

Hey, where's Matthew?

He's come out.

You look tired.

I am tired.

Hey, Matthew.

Hi, Mom.

Hey,

got anything to eat?

Yeah, there's lasagna in the fridge.

Great.
