[narrator] Previously on Hard Rock Medical.

I am the victor!

A brother, a brother is there when you need him.

Like you were for your kid brother.

He wouldn't have gone out in that canoe alone.

It was always the two of us, it was always the two of us!

[motor rumbling]

[Cameron] Looking at a new art find.

A rare canvas painted in 1937.

That's my newest acquisition.

-What do you think? -Really good.

Oh, it hurts!

Give me something, I need something!

Amanda?

Amanda?

Mother with stage four cancer

seeks loving family

to adopt her two young, beautiful boys.

-What did you say? -I'll take the kids.

There is over ten thousand dollars in charges here.

I really need the money, Gina. Let's go, goat!

-Do you need anything? -Yeah. Those diamonds.

Why are they in there? [chuckles]

That's it.

[opening theme music]

Those were some of the challenges

in our first few years of this program.

There have been a few missteps,

but overall our students have responded well.

So this year you're throwing them into the deep end?

That's about right.

We'll see who sinks or swims, who makes the cut.

As you know, our first year cohorts

have been rolling up their sleeves for the last four months

embedded in pairs in a variety of challenging placements,

one of them being ride-alongs.

[radio chatter]

Hey mate, what's your name?

-I'm Brian. -Brian, my name's Gary.

Your daughter's in the ambulance, she's doing fine.

Daddy, where are you?

Hey!

You know where Daddy is? He's with the good guys.

[Dallaire] These students are learning first-hand

what emergency medicine is all about,

learning triage, making split-second decisions.

Another pair of students are doing a turn

in a small community hospital with situations

that are life and death.

-Push. -Yeah!

Push, push! I see the head,

I see the head. Here he comes...

[baby crying]

-[flat-lining] -Clear.

[electrical shock]

[heart monitor beeping]

But it has it's rewards.

Were you at the game last night?

-Is that hockey? -Geez yeah, you missed a real--

[grunt]

We've also added a new program that we're excited about.

Something that we're calling knock docs,

students are doing things the old-fashioned way

and going out and making house calls.

Hey, how ya doing tonight?

I'm Cameron, this is Gina, we're med students.

How are you feeling?

I can't feel my toes on my right foot.

Okay, do you mind if we have a look?

Let me take this off. Yeah? Okay.

Do you wanna check it out?

Okay.

We're gonna need to take care of this frostbite right away.

No, I'm okay.

[Cardinal] Two of our students have been placed

on the Nipissing First Nation Reserve.

[drumming]

Being immersed in Anishinaabe culture

and learning about the unique challenges that are found

in First Nations communities.

[singing and drumming]

But I don't want to.

You have been avoiding this all day, just take them, please.

No. They make me feel crappy.

[singing and drumming]

Will you just get off my back already?

Listen, Mylo...

I don't want to.

[drumming]

[chatting]

What's going on, Mylo?

She won't take her medicine.

-The steroids or the chemo? -Neither.

Oh, come on, Mylo, you're almost over the finish line.

You said that last week.

Okay, why don't we split them up?

You take half now and half later.

Okay.

Good.

Now we can join the ceremony.

There hasn't been much hand-holding,

and they're out there performing beyond expectations.

No, no, no, Gina's right. We've gotta get you inside.

You don't want to lose those toes.

Come on, we've gotta get you to a shelter.

They won't let me in with Elvira.

Who's Elvira?

[squeaking]

Oh...

she's beautiful.

No one could ever possibly object

to this little sweetheart.

No, no, the shelters won't let anyone in with pets.

May I?

I'm a vet assistant. Well, part-time.

How about I take care of her,

and then when things warm up I'll give her back to you, okay?

-I don't know... -I promise.

-Okay. -Okay.

Now, let's get you to the van, huh?

Let's go.

You got a little cut on the forehead, huh?

Oh, wish I could clean that.

If only I had a cotton ball.

Wait a minute...

What's this behind your ear?

Oh hello, Mr. Cottonball.

All right, let's clean this up for you, okay?

Okay, I'm gonna ask you one last thing, okay?

Just follow my finger with your eyes.

Down...

and let's bring it up.

Perfect. All right.

Evelyn, I'm just going to sit you right up there

and we're gonna wait for your dad, okay?

Okay. [grunts]

Excellent.

[radio chatter]

Oh.

Her name is Evelyn, she's seven years old.

These nice men are gonna take care of you, okay?

And your daddy.

Bye.

[sirens]

Jesus.

It's more frigid than a bogan's coldy.

I don't think I'm ever gonna get used to these Canadian winters.

Let's get going.

[sobbing]

Charlie?

Hey.

These students are handling

day-to-day medical duties and emergencies

while at the same time experiencing

the dichotomies between Western and First Nations medicines.

[chanting]

[retching]

You okay?

Do you want to go home?

No. I'm okay.

-You sure? -It's just this medicine.

I'm okay.

[chanting]

I'm okay...

Okay, okay, okay, just hang on, hang on, hang on.

Can I have some help down here, please!

[grunting] Okay. Okay.

This place is nuts!

Yeah, welcome to your first full-moon rodeo, honey.

-What? -Happens every full moon.

Bruises, broken arms, babies by the boatload.

Come on, that's an old wives' tale.

Oh, really? You think so?

Why don't you try and tell these people

they're a figment of our imagination, then?

Okay, hard left, hard left, hard left, okay.

[coughing]

Maybe it's time to quit the part-time job.

It's just a cold, Cam.

Yeah cold, pneumonia, what's the difference, huh?

Look, if it's still about the money--

It's not about the money, it's about the animals.

Look, if I wasn't here

what do you think would happen to this little guy, huh?

Oh, speaking of money, I have this for you.

-What is it? -The diamonds.

I thought the diamonds disappeared

into the goat's stomach.

Well, believe it or not, they were actually

stuck in the goats gums,

I've been meaning to give them back to you.

Why me? They're Charlie's now.

Charlie thought he'd pass.

Then they're yours, I don't need them.

No, I don't want them. I think that they're bad luck.

Gina, hang on to 'em for a rainy day.

You never know.

Fine.

Put them in my pocket.

Can you drop me at the animal shelter?

-Sure. -Okay.

[praying]

What's the prayer mean?

It's part of the healing. It's a prayer to Kokoomus.

-Who is? -Grandmother Moon.

She connects us to the earth

for direction and for wisdom, and for balancing.

-[phone vibrates] -Cool.

Oh. Man.

It's Trevor, sorry.

[sighs] Hello, Trevor.

Uhuh.

Yes, I can hear Marley crying.

I don't know, did you just feed him?

Try burping him. He might have gas.

It's a good thing we finally got one of our own here.

Someone who knows who's who...

I don't know what's wrong with him.

What's what.

Trevor, call me when there's a real emergency.

And how to fix it.

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

It's like he thinks I'm a 24-hour health line.

Just when you thought you were out.

Hands-on experience is worth its weight in gold,

and I think we'll be able to double

our enrolment for next year.

Yes, Mr Cahill?

I notice, you seem to be one faculty member short.

Where is Dr. Healy this evening?

[upbeat rock music]

Dr. Healy had a personal matter to attend to

and he needed to take some time off.

And when do you expect him back?

Any day now.

[upbeat rock music]

So if there are no other questions,

I'd like to bring this meeting to a close.

Chi-miigwetch

for the blessings and the beauty,

Chi-miigwetch

for the understanding and the teachings of love.

Chi-miigwetch Kokoomus.

[howling]

What was that?

A buffalo yell.

It's a release, a letting go.

Oh. Okay.

What's the matter?

Tara had a miscarriage a couple of months ago.

Man, I'm sorry.

That's only the half of it.

She read me the whole riot act, saying I'm never home,

and... you know, I really screwed things up last year

with our finances.

It's just a bump in the road, you'll work it out.

I don't know, man.

I went home last weekend and the house was empty.

Left me a note saying she was gone with the kids to her mom's.

I don't think she's coming back.

If that wasn't bad enough, she asked me to do one thing.

Feed the cat.

I couldn't find the god-damn cat!

I'm sorry.

[fire crackling]

My girl, I want you to take your prayers

and you put them in your tobacco,

and then you offer them to Kokoomus.

And she'll listen.

Any prayer?

Any prayer.

Grandmother Moon, please guide me.

Help me find the strength to do what's right for me.

Help me find my way to healing.

[howling]

[group howling]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Grandmother Moon...

I saw her.

My cancer's cured!

I don't appreciate you pulling the rock from under me, Louise.

I-I'm sorry. I stepped over the line and I apologize.

I'm just really worried about him.

He's been M.I.A. for, what, four months now?

There's been no phone call, no email, nothing.

I was out at his cabin.

The driveway hasn't even been ploughed.

We can't bail on him, Ray.

It's not about bailing on him.

You both know it's not the first time this has happened.

If he comes back, what are the chances

that we won't go through this all over again?

[Jason] Dr. Dallaire.

Louise.

I just want to say how pleased I am

with the progress of the school.

The work that you are doing has made an incredible difference.

-Oh, thank you. -Thank you.

So much so, that I want to show my support.

I'm going to make a substantial donation to your school.

-That's fantastic! -That's terrific.

Can I ask what you had in mind?

Well, as you know I am chair of the Sudbury Fine Art Gallery.

I've talked to the Board,

actually I twisted every board member's arm

and I got them to contribute a Canadian work of art.

We're going to auction it off

and all the proceeds will go to the school.

That's fantastic.

I'm contributing this piece.

It's by Simmons, I acquired it in the fall.

That's beautiful.

What can I say, except thank you.

I've called a press conference

and I'll be announcing it this evening.

-Thank you. -That's fantastic.

-Thank you so much. -Oh, you're quite welcome.

-Have a good night. -Thank you.

Hello.

[barking]

-It's awfully quiet in here. -Hey, yeah.

It's been pretty quiet in general.

Adoption rates are through the roof.

Not much call for my sideline...

[sniffs] That's great to hear.

I didn't know you were working tonight.

Oh, I'm not. I did an outreach shift

and we talked a street kid into going into a shelter,

but they don't allow pets, so

I'm going to be babysitting this little guy in the meantime.

Thought I could borrow a carrier?

Yeah, help yourself.

Thanks.

-[inhales] Oh. -What was that?

She got her prayers answered.

Leanne, we have prayed and we have had ceremony before.

This has never happened, I've never seen this before.

She got the medicine that she was looking for.

Yeah. Well, it scared the heck out of me.

The steroids could account for some of the hallucinations,

it's pretty common,

but I've never seen anything this intense.

Well, she's been on steroids for months

and this hasn't happened.

True, but we upped the dosage of the steroids

for this last round of treatment.

I just talked to the oncologist

and he said to drop it back down

to her previous dose, starting tomorrow.

But all I care about right now

is getting her to take her second dose of chemo.

You scared me.

How are you feeling?

Stronger than I have before.

Here.

No thanks, I'm good.

Okay, let's just do this quickly and we can get you home.

You're not listening to me, I said no.

But you have to.

You can't miss a day.

I don't need these any more.

Grandmother Moon helped me find my direction.

I'm cured.

You all saw it.

-I know... -No!

I don't need that poison in my veins any more. I'm done.

Mylo.

Mylo!

[door slams]

So this happens every full moon? Really?

[laugh] Yes, every 28 days.

And it's harder on the constitution

than that other 28-day cycle.

I don't know if I'm gonna be able handle it.

Oh, come on. You'll be fine.

[phone rings]

Is that Erica?

Yeah.

How's she doing anyway?

She's in palliative now, she's living in a residence.

She wants to see me.

Tying up loose ends, I guess.

Did you complete the adoption yet?

Not yet, but everything is ready for the boys.

I have their room set up, I have the caregiver for after school.

The whole nine yards.

Sure are taking on an awful lot there, kiddo.

I know.

You know, when I was raising my boys I was pretty lucky,

because I had Warren there for me.

I know it's going to be tough.

Yes. Yeah, it is.

Well I gotta get going. Get home and get some rest.

I have to drive to Sudbury first thing in the morning.

[singing]

-[baby crying] -What took you so long?

Oh the ah, the roads are swishy.

Did you get the formula?

This isn't what Marley needs.

He needs his mom.

He needs to be breast-fed.

Well, the last time I checked, I wasn't lactating.

[humming]

Don't be a cliche.

Take care of your son.

He's not even my kid.

Tell him that.

All right.

Oh, a package came for you.

It's from Kyle.

Okay.

[exhales]

Nope, nope, nope.

[fast-paced rock music]

My name is Fraser, and I'm an alcoholic.

It's been 103 days that I've been clean and sober.

And, uh... I had a brother...

[fast-paced rock music]

Oh, Dad, you're such an ass.

[fast-paced rock music]
