[Johnny yelling]

476
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,462
I am Satan
and his only messenger!

477
00:18:48,563 --> 00:18:50,898
Well, there you have it.
It's a draw.

478
00:18:50,999 --> 00:18:52,332
Shirt, no pants.

479
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,669
What are you talkin' 'bout?
That's bullshit, okay?

480
00:18:54,769 --> 00:18:56,771
I can see his dick.
That qualifies.

481
00:18:56,871 --> 00:18:57,939
[Randy] He's not naked!

482
00:18:58,039 --> 00:18:59,907
Call that naked?
He's wearing a shirt.

483
00:19:00,008 --> 00:19:02,977
Shirt, no pants. That's like,
uh... Winnie the Pooh.

484
00:19:03,077 --> 00:19:04,378
I guess Winnie the Pooh
got his dick out

485
00:19:04,478 --> 00:19:06,047
because I can see
Winnie the Pooh's dick.

486
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,281
Johnny, bring your naked ass
over here!

487
00:19:08,382 --> 00:19:10,618
Leave this place...

488
00:19:10,718 --> 00:19:12,285
or I'll destroy you all!

489
00:19:12,386 --> 00:19:15,188
Oh, oh. Okay, so you really
wanna test your immortality?

490
00:19:15,288 --> 00:19:17,257
-Okay.
-Leave now!

491
00:19:17,357 --> 00:19:20,427

492
00:19:20,962 --> 00:19:23,064
[window mechanism whirring]

493
00:19:23,163 --> 00:19:25,700
I am Satan
and his only messenger.

494
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,301
Man, that's greedy as fuck.
You cannot be Satan

495
00:19:28,402 --> 00:19:29,804
<i>and</i> his only messenger.

496
00:19:29,904 --> 00:19:32,540
Just pick one, okay?
Got too many fuckin' jobs!

497
00:19:33,473 --> 00:19:35,910
I am Satan
and his only messenger!

498
00:19:36,010 --> 00:19:37,310
Okay. You know what?

499
00:19:37,411 --> 00:19:39,379
Have some breakfast. But...

500
00:19:39,479 --> 00:19:41,448
leave people alone.
Lay low. Okay?

501
00:19:41,549 --> 00:19:43,985
Or I'm gonna hook the
defibrillator up to your face.

502
00:19:44,085 --> 00:19:45,285
Bzz! You understand?

503
00:19:45,385 --> 00:19:47,187
It don't matter.
Put some fuckin' pants on

504
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:48,956
and get your ashy
leprechaun ass from over here.

505
00:19:49,057 --> 00:19:50,390
Nobody want to see that shit!

506
00:19:50,925 --> 00:19:51,959
Satan does!

507
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,895
What...

508
00:19:55,096 --> 00:19:56,296
[Randy] County, it's Medic 42.

509
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:58,432
We are available.
No patient on scene.

510
00:19:58,533 --> 00:19:59,934
Repeat, no patient on scene.

511
00:20:00,034 --> 00:20:02,103
Wait. What are you doing?
You abandoned your patient.

512
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,504
You could lose your license.

513
00:20:03,604 --> 00:20:05,272
-[Johnny] Satan loves me!
-That is not a patient.

514
00:20:05,372 --> 00:20:07,041
That is Johnny.

515
00:20:07,141 --> 00:20:08,308
If he was actively schizo,

516
00:20:08,408 --> 00:20:09,544
he'd be pulling out his hair

517
00:20:09,644 --> 00:20:11,378
and biting his lips
until they bleed.

518
00:20:11,478 --> 00:20:13,748
That's what Johnny does
when he's not on his meds.

519
00:20:13,848 --> 00:20:17,317
Right now, Johnny's acting
this way because he's hungry.

520
00:20:17,685 --> 00:20:19,120
-Oh, he's hungry. Yeah.
-Yes.

521
00:20:19,252 --> 00:20:21,122
The guy wagging his dick around.

522
00:20:21,221 --> 00:20:22,389
-Yeah.
-That-- He's hungry.

523
00:20:22,790 --> 00:20:24,659
[Randy] He wants us to take him
into the ER

524
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:27,260
where they have to give him
a meal before they let him go,

525
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,296
because the ER has no choice.

526
00:20:29,396 --> 00:20:32,365
They legally
can't turn anyone away.

527
00:20:32,466 --> 00:20:35,036
Now, we could bring him in
for his ER happy meal,

528
00:20:35,136 --> 00:20:37,672
but guess what? There's a
shit-ton of paperwork involved.

529
00:20:37,772 --> 00:20:39,807
So it's a lot easier for me
to skip the middleman

530
00:20:39,907 --> 00:20:42,510
and give him my breakfast.
And I'm starving!

531
00:20:42,610 --> 00:20:45,079
Okay. So just to recap.

532
00:20:45,179 --> 00:20:47,982
Your medical solution
is muffins.

533
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:52,120
I sacrificed
my delicious muffins

534
00:20:52,220 --> 00:20:53,654
for the good of humanity.

535
00:20:54,354 --> 00:20:56,657
-Mike, let's roll.
-Alright. We're outta here.

536
00:21:00,661 --> 00:21:02,329
[indistinct radio chatter]

537
00:21:02,429 --> 00:21:03,765
Why are you here?

538
00:21:05,099 --> 00:21:06,601
Because I wanna save lives.

539
00:21:06,701 --> 00:21:08,202
[both laugh]

540
00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:10,505
-Is that funny?
-You wanna save lives.

541
00:21:10,605 --> 00:21:11,773
You think we savin' lives?

542
00:21:11,873 --> 00:21:13,608
Come on, now.
We just gave a dude muffins.

543
00:21:13,708 --> 00:21:15,510
Yeah, I used to want
to be a hero,

544
00:21:15,610 --> 00:21:18,713
but the fact is,
we're not heroes.

545
00:21:18,813 --> 00:21:19,747
Okay?

546
00:21:19,847 --> 00:21:22,250
The fact is that
most of the calls we get

547
00:21:22,349 --> 00:21:23,483
are bullshit.

548
00:21:23,584 --> 00:21:24,619
The people that need us
don't call,

549
00:21:24,719 --> 00:21:26,821
and the people that call
don't need us.

550
00:21:26,921 --> 00:21:28,321
People live, people die.

551
00:21:28,421 --> 00:21:31,324
You rarely make any kind
of difference whatsoever.

552
00:21:31,424 --> 00:21:32,459
This is a job.

553
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,462
Okay? You clock in,
you clock out.

554
00:21:35,563 --> 00:21:37,632
At the end of the day
you go home. That's it.

555
00:21:37,732 --> 00:21:39,267
I don't think
you really believe that.

556
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:40,968
No, I do.

557
00:21:41,068 --> 00:21:43,271
I do. I really, really do.

558
00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:44,872
And you should too
if you want to last.

559
00:21:44,972 --> 00:21:47,340
But you have people's lives
in your hands.

560
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,911
How can you not care?
How can you not give a shit?

561
00:21:50,011 --> 00:21:51,212
Caring is what kills you.

562
00:21:51,612 --> 00:21:52,814
[Randy] The fact is,

563
00:21:52,914 --> 00:21:55,249
most people in this job
can't last a year.

564
00:21:55,348 --> 00:21:56,617
They can't hack it.

565
00:21:56,717 --> 00:21:58,753
And good ones,
the really, really good ones?

566
00:21:58,853 --> 00:21:59,887
Five years.

567
00:21:59,987 --> 00:22:01,889
Five years, max.
That's all they can handle.

568
00:22:04,225 --> 00:22:05,860
How long have you been doing it?

569
00:22:06,393 --> 00:22:08,196
[siren wailing]

570
00:22:08,296 --> 00:22:10,798
Eighteen years, nine months.

[dramatic music playing]

572
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,808
Alright, class president,

573
00:22:20,908 --> 00:22:22,677
this one's for real,
so pay attention.

574
00:22:23,144 --> 00:22:24,411
You're with me. Grab the bag.

575
00:22:24,512 --> 00:22:25,980
-Okay.
-Don't touch anything.

576
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:26,881
Nothing. Got it?

577
00:22:26,981 --> 00:22:28,149
But then why am I...

578
00:22:28,249 --> 00:22:30,117
[scoffs] ...even here?

579
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,455
[commotion]

580
00:22:35,556 --> 00:22:37,625
Walk. Don't run. Never run.

581
00:22:37,725 --> 00:22:39,126
-[Jessica] Why?
-Why?

582
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:40,895
Oh, shit. Door's stuck.

583
00:22:43,130 --> 00:22:45,199
-BSI.
-What?

584
00:22:45,299 --> 00:22:46,399
-BSI!
-What the fuck is that?

585
00:22:46,499 --> 00:22:48,069
-Put your gloves on!
-Oh. Okay.

586
00:22:48,169 --> 00:22:49,604
-[Randy] Hey, Jimmy.
-Hey.

587
00:22:49,704 --> 00:22:51,038
[Randy] Need you
to pop that door.

588
00:22:51,138 --> 00:22:53,541
-[Jimmy] Got it.
-Also need an additional driver.

589
00:22:53,641 --> 00:22:54,842
I need Mike in the back with me.

590
00:22:54,942 --> 00:22:57,612
-[Jimmy] We're on it.
-Hey. Everything's okay?

591
00:22:58,980 --> 00:22:59,780
What is that?

592
00:22:59,881 --> 00:23:02,550
I answer questions
after the fact.

593
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:05,519
[shatters loudly]

594
00:23:05,620 --> 00:23:07,054
It's a window punch.

595
00:23:09,156 --> 00:23:10,157
[fireman] Okay, go ahead.

596
00:23:10,258 --> 00:23:11,359
Pull her out the side.

597
00:23:11,458 --> 00:23:12,827
-Move in.
-Little more.

598
00:23:14,528 --> 00:23:16,163
[Randy] Alright,
head of her class,

599
00:23:16,264 --> 00:23:17,298
what do we assess first?

600
00:23:17,397 --> 00:23:18,933
Airway, breathing, circulation.

601
00:23:19,033 --> 00:23:21,035
He's breathing,
but it's rapid deep breaths.

602
00:23:21,135 --> 00:23:22,970
Kussmauls?

603
00:23:23,070 --> 00:23:24,471
Wait, am I right?

604
00:23:24,572 --> 00:23:26,574
[Mike] Rookie, get out the way.

605
00:23:26,674 --> 00:23:28,009
What's goin' on here?

606
00:23:28,109 --> 00:23:29,644
Got Kussmauls.

607
00:23:29,744 --> 00:23:32,412
Possible broken everything.
What about you?

608
00:23:32,513 --> 00:23:34,315
Lady was just a little shook up
but she's alright.

609
00:23:34,414 --> 00:23:36,183
Alright. Grab me a collar,
will ya?

610
00:23:36,284 --> 00:23:37,652
Okay, I got you.

611
00:23:37,752 --> 00:23:39,587
-Get out the way.
-Sorry. Sorry.

612
00:23:40,221 --> 00:23:41,355
[saw buzzing]

613
00:23:41,454 --> 00:23:42,924
Alright, and grab me
a non-rebreather.

614
00:23:43,024 --> 00:23:44,825
You just said
not to touch anything.

615
00:23:44,926 --> 00:23:47,295
And now I'm asking you to touch
a non-rebreather

616
00:23:47,395 --> 00:23:48,461
and bring it to me.

617
00:23:48,562 --> 00:23:50,665
Wait. No. No.

618
00:23:51,464 --> 00:23:53,500
[splutters] Sorry. Sorry.

619
00:23:53,601 --> 00:23:55,236
Not in the truck. In the bag!

620
00:23:55,336 --> 00:23:57,705
-The what?
-In the bag! In the bag!

621
00:23:57,805 --> 00:23:59,073
Oh, shit.

622
00:23:59,173 --> 00:24:00,675
Walk. Don't run.

623
00:24:03,377 --> 00:24:05,079
Hey, buddy. Can you hear me?

624
00:24:08,249 --> 00:24:09,917
[fireman] One, two, three.

625
00:24:10,017 --> 00:24:11,451
[groans]

626
00:24:11,986 --> 00:24:13,321
One, two, three.

627
00:24:13,421 --> 00:24:15,488
No. Yeah, I got him.

628
00:24:15,589 --> 00:24:16,489
[monitor beeping steadily]

629
00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:18,392
-How am I doin'?
-Alright.

630
00:24:18,491 --> 00:24:20,394
Nothing in the belly,
good in all four.

631
00:24:20,493 --> 00:24:22,096
Got this, hero?

632
00:24:22,964 --> 00:24:23,965
[beeping rapidly]

633
00:24:24,065 --> 00:24:26,000
Oh, shit. He's in V-fib.

634
00:24:26,701 --> 00:24:28,302

Okay, well, if you thought
he was dead,

then why did you make me do CPR?

689
00:26:41,135 --> 00:26:44,071
Because nobody dies
in an ambulance.

It's an ambulance.

-Nobody dies in the ambulance.

It's a legal nightmare.
Once we start working on you,

we're not allowed
to declare you dead.

Only a doctor or coroner
can do that.

695
00:26:55,249 --> 00:26:57,284
So even if he has
zero chance of making it,

696
00:26:57,384 --> 00:27:01,288
even if we're just pumping blood
through a corpse,

697
00:27:01,388 --> 00:27:02,990
we cannot declare him dead.

698
00:27:03,090 --> 00:27:04,959
Now, he can be dead
before we show up,

699
00:27:05,059 --> 00:27:07,261
he can be dead
once we drop him off,

700
00:27:07,361 --> 00:27:10,331
but never, ever in between.

701
00:27:11,899 --> 00:27:14,034
That doesn't make
any medical sense.

00:37:08,830 --> 00:37:10,865
as what you're saying
to me right now.

956
00:37:10,965 --> 00:37:13,333
Your patient was dead, bitch.

957
00:37:13,433 --> 00:37:15,268
Mm-hmm. And your people
didn't realize it

958
00:37:15,368 --> 00:37:16,971
for five or six <i>hours.</i>

959
00:37:17,071 --> 00:37:18,606
That is called negligence.

960
00:37:18,706 --> 00:37:20,340
But you thought
you'd just call 911

961
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,943
and cover your asses,
is that it?

962
00:37:22,043 --> 00:37:25,378
Ah. Well, how 'bout you and I
call your administrator

963
00:37:25,479 --> 00:37:27,380
and go over this incident
point by point

964
00:37:27,481 --> 00:37:29,751
and see which one of us
still has a goddamn job

965
00:37:29,851 --> 00:37:31,284
by the end of the day?

966
00:37:32,153 --> 00:37:34,989
Oh! You're suddenly okay?

967
00:37:35,089 --> 00:37:37,125
We're clear now, Carol?

968
00:37:37,225 --> 00:37:38,559
Great. Well, if you have
any more problems,

969
00:37:38,659 --> 00:37:40,595
my name is Shanice,
you call me immediately.

970
00:37:40,695 --> 00:37:42,096
You got that?

971
00:37:42,196 --> 00:37:43,296
Damn right.

972
00:37:43,396 --> 00:37:45,933
[airplane engine roaring]

973
00:37:49,170 --> 00:37:51,239
Oh my God, I am so hungry.

974
00:37:51,338 --> 00:37:53,007
Mike, find a taco truck
or something.

975
00:37:53,107 --> 00:37:55,243
My stomach is eating itself.

976
00:37:55,342 --> 00:37:56,611
Got you.
That's all you have to say.

977
00:37:56,711 --> 00:37:58,579
You didn't really quit, did you?

978
00:37:59,279 --> 00:38:00,848
Yeah. I did.

979
00:38:01,348 --> 00:38:02,817
-No, you didn't.
-Yeah, I did.

980
00:38:02,917 --> 00:38:04,051
[scoffs] No, you did not.

981
00:38:04,152 --> 00:38:05,653
Yes, I did.

982
00:38:05,753 --> 00:38:07,755
Look, look.
Let me say this, okay?

983
00:38:07,855 --> 00:38:10,357
Randy has been in this
way too long, okay?

984
00:38:10,457 --> 00:38:12,894
EMS is not supposed to be
working this long.

985
00:38:12,994 --> 00:38:15,596
He don't know what he's gonna do
out in the real world.

986
00:38:15,696 --> 00:38:16,964
This motherfucker can't do shit.

987
00:38:17,064 --> 00:38:18,599
What are you talking about?

988
00:38:18,699 --> 00:38:20,268
I wouldn't know how
to function out there?

989
00:38:20,367 --> 00:38:22,103
Oh, but you know
how to function out there.

990
00:38:22,203 --> 00:38:23,403
-You damn right I do.
-Yeah.

991
00:38:23,504 --> 00:38:25,106
I function well out there too.

992
00:38:25,206 --> 00:38:26,841
'Cause I'm a normal
fuckin' person.

993
00:38:26,941 --> 00:38:28,743
I go home, I take a shit,

994
00:38:28,843 --> 00:38:30,778
then I take a shower
and I put on my clothes

995
00:38:30,878 --> 00:38:32,513
and I pick up my lady,
we go to dinner,

996
00:38:32,613 --> 00:38:34,282
then we come back home
and we fuck.

997
00:38:34,381 --> 00:38:37,518
Okay? That is called
being a part of society.

998
00:38:37,618 --> 00:38:38,820
You, on the other hand,

999
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,988
would not survive one day
in the real world.

1000
00:38:41,088 --> 00:38:43,456
'Cause he ain't did shit.
Don't do nothin' besides this.

1001
00:38:43,558 --> 00:38:45,492
When the last time
you been on a date?

1002
00:38:45,593 --> 00:38:49,230
Hmm? When was the last time
you washed your fuckin' sheets?

1003
00:38:49,329 --> 00:38:51,364
-[laughs]
-Oh...

1004
00:38:53,634 --> 00:38:56,103
Well, where are you gonna work?

1005
00:38:56,204 --> 00:38:58,172
I'm working
in an insurance company.

1006
00:38:58,272 --> 00:39:00,141
-[Mike] What?! [laughs]
-What?

1007
00:39:00,241 --> 00:39:01,576
-Are you...
-What?

1008
00:39:01,676 --> 00:39:03,476
You gon' work in insurance.
Please.

1009
00:39:03,578 --> 00:39:05,345
Man, you can't even work
at fuckin' Subway.

1010
00:39:05,445 --> 00:39:07,782
I could w-- I could too
work at Subway.

1011
00:39:07,882 --> 00:39:09,851
You gotta deal with customers
to work at Subway.

1012
00:39:09,951 --> 00:39:11,451
Yeah. I could deal
with customers.

1013
00:39:11,552 --> 00:39:13,321
You could?
Let's pretend I'm a customer.

1014
00:39:13,420 --> 00:39:14,622
-Okay.
-Okay. You ready?

1015
00:39:14,722 --> 00:39:16,190
-Yeah.

I'm in there.

Oh, hello, sir.
Are you having a nice day?

1018
00:39:19,961 --> 00:39:20,761
I'm having a great day.

1019
00:39:20,862 --> 00:39:22,196
I would like a sandwich
for lunch.

1020
00:39:22,296 --> 00:39:23,598
-Okay.
-You really supposed to--

1021
00:39:23,698 --> 00:39:25,333
Would you like a six-inch
or a footlong?

1022
00:39:25,432 --> 00:39:28,169
Okay. I want a six-inch
vegetarian sub, okay?

1023
00:39:28,269 --> 00:39:30,504
-On wheat with chicken.
-Mm-hmm.

1024
00:39:31,539 --> 00:39:33,708
-[Jessica] Hmm.
-Okay.

1025
00:39:33,808 --> 00:39:36,476
Uh... that-that doesn't make it

1026
00:39:36,577 --> 00:39:38,212
a vegetarian sub
if you add chicken.

1027
00:39:38,312 --> 00:39:40,648
No. I would like, like I said,

1028
00:39:40,748 --> 00:39:44,151
a six-inch vegetarian sub
on wheat with chicken.

1029
00:39:44,252 --> 00:39:45,786
I'm sorry, sir, we can't do that

1030
00:39:45,887 --> 00:39:47,288
'cause that's not
a vegetarian sub.

1031
00:39:47,387 --> 00:39:48,856
Motherfucker, it is.

1032
00:39:48,956 --> 00:39:51,025
-I'm the customer.
-If you have chicken on it...

1033
00:39:51,125 --> 00:39:52,860
See? That's exactly why
you couldn't work there.

1034
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,862
-But it's not vegetarian!
-It is vegetarian!

1035
00:39:54,962 --> 00:39:57,865
There are rules here, sir.
There are rules.

1036
00:39:57,965 --> 00:40:00,534
I can order whatever
the fuck I want. Alright?

1037
00:40:00,635 --> 00:40:02,402
I want a orange Fanta

1038
00:40:02,503 --> 00:40:03,638
with grape juice in it.

1039
00:40:03,738 --> 00:40:05,373
You can serve
your own drink, sir.

1040
00:40:05,472 --> 00:40:07,375
Here's your cup.
Go to the drink station.

1041
00:40:07,474 --> 00:40:09,110

is that?!

Hey! This dude named Randy
that work at the Subway

is a asshole, okay?

00:40:18,753 --> 00:40:21,889
He tried to make me
make my own fuckin' drink!

1048
00:40:22,857 --> 00:40:24,325
Also this is
a Black man calling,

1049
00:40:24,424 --> 00:40:25,458
so you know what that's about!

1050

it's a big deal, doc.

00:48:49,531 --> 00:48:52,834
but I mean,
why do they ask me that?

1264
00:48:53,333 --> 00:48:55,870
What's the worst thing
that's ever happened to <i>you?</i>

1265
00:48:55,969 --> 00:48:57,539
Want to think about that
right now?

1266
00:48:57,639 --> 00:48:58,673
I sure don't.

1267
00:48:58,773 --> 00:49:01,308
I have seen
some terrible things.

1268
00:49:01,408 --> 00:49:04,579
I know things that
you do not want to know.

1269
00:49:07,214 --> 00:49:10,284
I know what brains smell like.

1270
00:49:10,718 --> 00:49:13,387
Brains have a distinct smell.
Did you know that?

1271
00:49:13,487 --> 00:49:15,590
Sometimes I smell it
when I come out of the ambulance

1272
00:49:15,690 --> 00:49:18,827
and I know right then and there,
better watch my step

1273
00:49:18,927 --> 00:49:23,397
or else I'll slip and fall in
some poor dead soul's memories.

1274
00:49:28,001 --> 00:49:29,604
You know what's in there?

1275
00:49:30,170 --> 00:49:31,673
Dead two-year-old.

1276
00:49:31,773 --> 00:49:35,777
She got decapitated
by the seat belt upon impact.

1277
00:49:35,877 --> 00:49:37,377
Wanna look in there?

1278
00:49:37,478 --> 00:49:39,681
You want that image seared
into your brain

1279
00:49:39,781 --> 00:49:41,014
forever and ever?

1280
00:49:41,114 --> 00:49:43,350
Well, someone's gotta
look inside.

1281
00:49:44,151 --> 00:49:46,855
Someone's gotta have that image

1282
00:49:46,955 --> 00:49:49,323
in their brain
for the rest of their lives.

1283
00:49:50,190 --> 00:49:51,759
I'm that somebody.

1284
00:49:52,326 --> 00:49:54,662
That's not even the worst thing
I've seen.

1285
00:49:54,762 --> 00:49:57,966
So we get a call,
unknown medical,

1286
00:49:58,432 --> 00:50:00,635
neighbor's complaining
about smells.

1287
00:50:01,201 --> 00:50:02,770
Go into the apartment,
meet the woman,

1288
00:50:02,871 --> 00:50:04,304
she seems totally normal,

1289
00:50:04,404 --> 00:50:07,809
but apparently she's suffering
from postpartum depression.

1290
00:50:07,909 --> 00:50:09,744
So I ask her,
"Where's the baby?"

1291
00:50:10,578 --> 00:50:11,846
"Where is the baby?"

1292
00:50:12,212 --> 00:50:15,215
Sure enough, there it is,
in the microwave.

1293
00:50:15,315 --> 00:50:17,952
-Stop.
-And its face...

1294
00:50:18,051 --> 00:50:19,888
was like melted cheese.

1295
00:50:19,988 --> 00:50:22,122
Oh my God.

1296
00:50:22,222 --> 00:50:24,726
That is the worst thing
I've ever heard in my life.

1297
00:50:24,826 --> 00:50:28,161
I know!
I ordered it medium rare!

1298
00:50:28,262 --> 00:50:30,598
[both laugh hysterically]

1299
00:50:30,698 --> 00:50:31,599
Ah, come on!

1300
00:50:31,699 --> 00:50:33,100
-What the fuck?
-Come on!

1301
00:50:35,202 --> 00:50:36,838
Hey, come on.
Don't be like that.

1302
00:50:36,938 --> 00:50:38,171
You wanted to know.

1303
00:50:38,272 --> 00:50:40,608
You don't want
your chicken sandwich?

1304
00:50:41,174 --> 00:50:44,144
You gonna finish that?
[laughing]

1305
00:50:44,244 --> 00:50:47,247
Okay, so, there wasn't actually
a baby in the microwave.

1306
00:50:51,084 --> 00:50:52,654
[slurps, swallows]

1307
00:50:52,754 --> 00:50:56,256
[laughs] See, that's what it is.
You still new to all this.

1308
00:50:56,356 --> 00:50:58,191
And you ain't seen shit yet.

1309
00:50:58,292 --> 00:51:00,260
Like, nothing. Not at all.

1310
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,996
You still got
all that resilience in you.

1311
00:51:02,095 --> 00:51:04,966
You got the emotional reserves
in the bank.

1312
00:51:05,065 --> 00:51:06,601
You got all that in there.

1313
00:51:06,701 --> 00:51:07,802
And when bad shit happen,

1314
00:51:07,902 --> 00:51:09,804
you still got that cushion
inside.

1315
00:51:10,437 --> 00:51:12,707
Yeah, but when you been
doin' this long enough...

1316
00:51:12,807 --> 00:51:14,809
[indistinct radio chatter]

1317
00:51:14,909 --> 00:51:16,678
...you run out
of those reserves.

1318
00:51:17,444 --> 00:51:19,581
Yeah, but you keep doing it.

1319
00:51:19,681 --> 00:51:21,348
Aw, hell no.

1320
00:51:21,448 --> 00:51:23,618
Shit, I'm goin' to law school
in six months.

1321
00:51:24,686 --> 00:51:26,219
-What?
-Yeah.

1322
00:51:27,055 --> 00:51:28,388
Why law school?

1323
00:51:29,289 --> 00:51:31,025
You know who gets
fucked over more

1324
00:51:31,124 --> 00:51:33,393
than anybody in this country?

1325
00:51:34,328 --> 00:51:36,163
Hardworking people.

1326
00:51:37,364 --> 00:51:39,466
Hardworking people.

1327
00:51:40,133 --> 00:51:41,769
Perfect example: My mom.

1328
00:51:43,671 --> 00:51:47,140
She, uh, passed two years ago
of-of cancer.

1329
00:51:49,376 --> 00:51:51,613
And two years before that,
she went to the hospital

1330
00:51:51,713 --> 00:51:54,214
'cause she knew something
was wrong.

1331
00:51:54,314 --> 00:51:56,450
You know,
and they checked her out.

1332
00:51:57,150 --> 00:51:58,987
Her insurance covered that.

1333
00:51:59,821 --> 00:52:02,456
They diagnosed her,
and her insurance covered that.

1334
00:52:04,491 --> 00:52:08,630
But when it came
to actually helping her...

1335
00:52:09,764 --> 00:52:12,332
they told her she didn't have
the right policy.

1336
00:52:12,432 --> 00:52:14,969
She did her best. She was
calling the insurance company

1337
00:52:15,069 --> 00:52:17,905
and... arguing
and fighting and...

1338
00:52:19,641 --> 00:52:22,275
But as she was doing that,
the cancer spread.

1339
00:52:26,279 --> 00:52:27,649
And she died.

1340
00:52:29,851 --> 00:52:31,686
Wasn't even about the doctors
at that point.

1341
00:52:31,786 --> 00:52:33,888
She needed a lawyer.

1342
00:52:34,656 --> 00:52:37,525
Look, I wanna help people.
That's why I became EMS.

1343
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,228
You know?
I wanted to make a difference.

1344
00:52:43,531 --> 00:52:45,800
And I don't feel like
that's what we doin', man.

1345
00:52:49,971 --> 00:52:51,506
Also, I...

1346
00:52:52,172 --> 00:52:54,274
would love to not make
minimum wage anymore.

1347
00:52:54,374 --> 00:52:56,443
-[laughs]
-I'm broke as fuck.

1348
00:52:56,544 --> 00:52:59,047
I'm taking all this shit home
and warm it up later.

1349
00:52:59,514 --> 00:53:01,049
I don't have a goddamn thing.

1350
00:53:01,481 --> 00:53:03,350
[engine starts, revs]

1351
00:53:03,450 --> 00:53:06,353
[mellow, dramatic music playing]

1352
00:53:14,896 --> 00:53:17,899

1353

[timer clicking]

1354
00:53:21,569 --> 00:53:23,336
[Mike] Well, you know,
it's nighttime now,

1355
00:53:23,437 --> 00:53:26,641
so it's 'bout to get
<i>really</i> weird.

1356
00:53:27,075 --> 00:53:29,376
-Weird.
-Weird how?

1357
00:53:29,476 --> 00:53:32,146

1359
00:53:33,380 --> 00:53:35,482
Shit, man. It's the president.

00:53:37,018 --> 00:53:40,521
[siren wailing]

1361
00:53:40,621 --> 00:53:43,624
[roars] I'm the president
of the United States!

1362
00:53:43,725 --> 00:53:45,793
Ah! Shit! He hit me in my nuts!

1363
00:53:45,893 --> 00:53:47,662
Mike! Help! Mike!

1364
00:53:47,762 --> 00:53:49,997
Get your hands off my friend,
motherfucker!

1365
00:53:50,098 --> 00:53:51,465
-[Randy] Mike!

-[grunting]
-[Mike] Ah!

1367
00:53:53,601 --> 00:53:55,870
Hit him with something!

1368
00:53:56,504 --> 00:53:59,372
Not fruit!
Don't hit him with fruit!

1369
00:53:59,473 --> 00:54:00,875
Call another ambulance!

1370
00:54:00,975 --> 00:54:03,211
[Mike] Charlie, we're trying
to fucking help you!

1371
00:54:03,310 --> 00:54:05,378
-Stop it!
-[Charlie] I'm the president!

1372
00:54:05,847 --> 00:54:08,415
I'm the president
of the United States!

1373
00:54:08,883 --> 00:54:10,918
This is what happened last time.
[screams]

1374
00:54:11,018 --> 00:54:14,421
So that is why we gotta get him
in the ambulance peacefully

1375
00:54:14,522 --> 00:54:16,657
or he will kick
the living shit out of us.

1376
00:54:16,758 --> 00:54:19,359
He sounds like he needs to be
in a psychiatric facility.

1377
00:54:19,459 --> 00:54:22,163
No, no, no, no, no.
Look, he's a sweetheart, man.

1378
00:54:22,262 --> 00:54:24,297
He don't mean any harm,
you know?

1379
00:54:25,298 --> 00:54:26,768
That's usually
when he's on his meds.

1380
00:54:26,868 --> 00:54:29,937
Now, if he's off his meds,
it's a different story.

1381
00:54:30,037 --> 00:54:31,072
Plus it's the end of the month.

1382
00:54:31,172 --> 00:54:33,141
What happens
at the end of the month?

1383
00:54:33,608 --> 00:54:36,309
Look, the system give him
20 pills a month, right?

1384
00:54:36,409 --> 00:54:38,112
But there's 30 days in a month.

1385
00:54:38,713 --> 00:54:41,082
What do you think Charlie do
with those other ten days?

1386
00:54:41,182 --> 00:54:43,017
-[sighs]
-Loses his shit.

1387
00:54:43,483 --> 00:54:45,418
Sometimes he makes it
to the end of the month,

1388
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:46,621
sometimes he don't.

1389
00:54:46,721 --> 00:54:48,421
Right now look like he didn't.

1390
00:54:48,856 --> 00:54:50,457
So we're not calling PD?

1391
00:54:52,392 --> 00:54:53,828
-No.
-No.

1392
00:54:53,928 --> 00:54:57,397
Look, look, look.
Charlie is a 6'6" Black man

1393
00:54:57,497 --> 00:54:59,399
with mental health issues.

1394
00:54:59,499 --> 00:55:00,768
Would you call the police?

Hey, Mike, kill the lights.

1397
00:55:13,181 --> 00:55:15,716
We don't wanna set him off
any more than he already is.

[door slams]

1401
00:55:26,426 --> 00:55:28,262

about, oh, I don't know...

Hey. You know, there are three
other hospitals in this area.

1561
01:02:23,143 --> 01:02:24,945
Why don't you drop your patients
in one of them, huh?

and simultaneously tell me
that I gotta be fuckin' nicer?

with a baseball

and it stopped.
That's why your chest hurts.

your heart got hit

and sucker-punched your heart.

1687
01:08:15,128 --> 01:08:16,631
It's a one-in-a-million chance.

1688

And as a matter of fact,
after all this,

I would go buy a lottery ticket

You wanna keep
