Drop the hockey stick now!

In Canada, hockey players get a free pass.

Why don't you stop running your mouth?

Or what?

You'll give me another bullshit assessment

like you did last time?

Get me out of this damn...

Sergio Amanti.

I knew I recognized you.

-What's your story? -I was, uh, married.

Let me guess. He left you for a younger woman.

Here's why we haven't had to put down so many animals.

-What are you doing? -I'm saving them?

-How's Dawn? -Memory's completely gone.

-Hey, Dawn. -Have we met before?

Any time that you feel stuck

and you want to reach into the cookie jar?

Just come find me.

You took out a loan so you wouldn't

have to sell your motorcycle.

Did you guys find me a match?

First thing tomorrow, we'll find you one.

I'll put you on the list if you want.

I probably can't make it.

I'm- on call.

-[flat-lining] -[thud]

[alarm]

[sigh]

[muffled screams]

-[dogs barking] -Gina, that ship has sailed.

You can't have them back.

I don't want them back,

I just want you to give me a heads up

before you put them down.

Two days, that's all I'm asking for.

Then what are you gonna do?

I'll do the right thing, I promise.

I could lose my job.

All above board. No shenanigans.

Okay.

By the way, where's the parrot?

Um, I took the parrot.

It gets lonely livin' on your own sometimes.

It's nice to have someone to talk to when you get home.

-Hey. -What's up?

I've got good news and bad news.

Bonnie's a match.

And what's the bad news?

She's got Hep C.

Hm.

You don't seem surprised.

So what are the next steps?

For Mylo, I mean.

Well, we've started the bone marrow drive,

-so we need all hands on deck. -Okay.

Starting with you, missy. Open your mouth.

As if.

Eva, if Bonnie's a match,

it means you might be a match, too.

She's never gonna accept my blood.

What are you guys, seven-year-olds?

That's about right.

So you're trying to tell me,

you could save her daughter's life

and she's gonna say no.

Her side of the family has been known

to carry grudges to the grave.

Maybe it's time you smoked the peace pipe.

-Seriously? -Shut up and open your mouth.

Whatever, you know what I mean.

Thank you.

So what have you got for me?

Hm, possible wrist fracture.

Nick... Braden?

-Hi. -Hi.

-Uh, Farida. -Farida, yes of course.

What happened?

Well, I got thrown off a horse and I landed right on my arm.

Okay. Let's get an x-ray

and see what's going on. Come on.

[train horn]

[radio chatter]

Hey, you want some?

Oh, no, I'm ah, I'm good.

What are those?

-Cashews. Do you-- -Jesus!

Can't you read? Nut-free zone.

What about the one behind the steering wheel?

You think this is funny?

Sorry man, I guess I didn't get the memo.

Out the window.

-That's littering. -Out!

[fast-paced music]

[knocking]

Hi, Sergio.

Look who I have rushing up the ice!

Oh, Jesus! Bill.

Hey Serg. I didn't mean to surprise you.

-[groans] -Doing okay?

If I knew you were coming I woulda put on some pants.

I've seen worse, it's all good.

How you doing?

This guy was the greatest hockey player ever to lace 'em up.

I couldn't have done it without you, my friend.

Stop blowing smoke, you carried us on your back

and I got to drink from the cup because of it.

B.S. I was the invisible man

whenever you were out of the lineup.

My longest slump came when you were out

after that dust-up with Carter Maise.

Oh, yeah, he clocked me pretty good.

He had a hell of a left hook.

It's a shame what happened to him.

-Yeah. -Well, um, listen,

I'm gonna leave you gentlemen to it.

I will be back to check on you later.

Have a good one.

Serg, it's great seeing you, man.

I'm sorry Bill, I'm gonna have to lay down.

Here, let me help you.

[groans]

[upbeat song]

Hey, everyone. Thanks for coming.

All right, open up.

We're gonna swab your cheeks.

[upbeat song]

All right, open up.

We're starting with family first.

Right.

-Hey, Dede. -Hi.

What are those?

Well, I haven't been able to bake in a while,

but thanks to my new glasses...

Oh. Yeah, I heard the great news from the ophthalmologist.

Open up.

It's not retinopathy after all, eh?

Uh-uh. No,

but he sees early signs of cataracts developing,

and I'm still getting these headaches.

New glasses will do that sometimes.

It should settle in a week.

-One day at a time, I guess. -Uhuh. Yeah.

Thank you for these.

Do you think we should check her hemoglobins?

I did check her hemoglobins, they're normal.

Her family has a history of diabetes.

I'm sure it's the glasses.

What if we miss something and we make a mistake?

What are those?

Ah, Dede made me cookies.

I'll take these, Melanie. I'll get them to the lab.

They're gonna put a rush on it,

and I think we've done most of the close family.

Oh, wait a minute.

Wasn't Trevor supposed to come today?

Yes? He was supposed to be here, and as usual,

I'll have to go find him.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

All right. Open up.

So I pulled a lot of strings

and all the guys are gonna be there for the event.

You're gonna be there, right?

Yeah, sure.

Good.

Um, look...

I know you went through a rough time

with the divorce and all, so...

-I can't accept this. -Come on man, you deserve it.

No seriously, I can't...

Hey, stop doing that to yourself.

What do you mean?

I mean, Serg, let me do this for you.

-Yeah. -Okay?

All right. Good?

-Yeah. -Okay.

I'm expecting to see you out there, right?

Yeah, you can count on me, Bill.

Listen, it was good seeing you, okay?

Yeah, good seeing you, buddy.

Cam and I got to thinking.

You were absolutely right.

-About? -Well, I can't be a martyr,

and I can't save this world by myself.

And I did let my desire to save these animals

cloud my judgment.

That's very wise of you.

But having said that, I can't just stand around

and watch these poor little defenseless beings be put down.

What's your solution?

This.

-Pet therapy. -[cat meows]

Instead of the shelters dispatching the animals,

we distribute them to the elderly or

people living alone.

We know that there is no magic pill for loneliness,

but research does show that connecting with a pet does help.

And, no one gets hurt.

Well, providing the animals don't add

too many unwanted responsibilities

-for the recipients. -We'll be careful with that.

Matching the proper pet to the right owner will be the key.

Well, it sounds like a great pilot project.

[cat purring]

Is this one taken?

Hey.

What happened?

It was an accident.

-Where is he? -Out back.

Hey, Sergio.

Hey, you okay?

-Yeah. -Wow.

What an opportunity to get back on the ice with your teammates?

It's a fundraiser.

Awareness for concussions.

Well, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Being a poster child for brain-damaged hockey players?

Okay, that is not true, Sergio.

There are a lot of athletes who've had cancer,

mental health issues,

who have used their popularity

to get the message out there about their ailments.

Message?

The only message that can be reached by anybody

is that I made a choice to be this guy,

instead of the guy who just walked out the door.

The money, the endorsements.

The love.

Come on Sergio. Why would you say something like that, huh?

Look, I can't even tie my own shoelaces.

I'm gonna go out there and ask my teammates to lace me up?

They have Velcro now.

Not a big fan of self-pity, eh?

Okay. I'll think about it.

[upbeat music]

-It'd be good for you. -Yeah, sure.

What the hell went on in there?

Marley knows his mom's been whoring.

That's why he's not gonna take a bottle from her.

You gotta let that go.

Some of her boyfriends are my friends.

-Then make new friends. -That's not the point!

That's exactly the point.

-Family first. -Like she put family first?

Go ahead, keep punishing her. See where that gets ya.

What happened to her face?

That was an accident. You know that's not me.

I made efforts to pick up Marley,

and then my elbow just clipped her.

Do you want this to work?

-Do you? -Of course I do!

Well then stop making her wrong!

Give her a chance.

Fine.

Good. Now let's go to the clinic.

I need you to give a swab for Mylo.

I don't want Bonnie thinkin' I did something juvenile

-and told you not to come. -Are you two still fighting?

Yeah.

You gotta let that go.

[upbeat music]

Shut up.

You paged me?

This just came for you.

-Heather. -Chocolates?

We'll see.

Oh. Not chocolates.

Not chocolates.

Dear Nancy, thought you should have these.

Didn't feel right that I should.

Best, Heather.

What do you got there?

Warren.

Heather thought they would be better off with me.

What are you gonna do with him?

I have no idea.

Well, if you do want to talk, I'm around.

If you're looking for something different,

I heard of this site called Holy Smoke.

Put the ashes in ammunition.

You know, go with a bang.

Keep that in mind.

We do the school trip every year.

We try to get the kids outside even in the winter.

-You're a teacher. -Yeah.

Now Braden's at my school.

He's not in my class, though.

Erika obviously never mentioned it?

No, she didn't.

And it's funny 'cause I used to be a teacher as well.

So from a teacher to a doctor...

I loved the kids, so it was a tough decision,

but... I love this, too.

Okay buddy, you're all done.

Six weeks and you'll be as good as new.

Six weeks?

Is the cast gonna be off before we move to Calgary?

-Calgary? -Should be, buddy.

My parents are out West.

Be nice to be around some family.

Oh.

-Thanks for looking after him. -Yeah.

[dramatic music]

Carrots? Apple?

Does your mom pack your lunch?

No, I'm not hanging on to the Harley.

Dr. Healy dropped it off, just-

Just listen to me!

Unbelievable.

She's never gonna let me live it down.

I should have just sold it the first day.

-Selling the Harley? -Yeah.

-Why, you interested? -What do you got?

I'll show you...

Sweet. 2003 Dynamite?

Only has 50,000 clicks on it.

Very nice.

Give you four grand for it.

Mm, no, I need at least eight thousand, sorry.

Make it ten and you got yourself a deal.

-What are you, his agent? -I like to help out a mate.

Give you five, not a nickel more.

No can do...

Oh hey, what's up?

-Got it. -[sirens]

Fill it and sign it, okay?

Hey.

Eva's auntie tells me you've become quite the baby whisperer.

Maybe you can come to my house and work on my kids.

I wouldn't take it that far, but thanks.

I'll be a minute, B.

So kiddo, what do you think?

Are all these people here for me?

-Uh-huh. -This is amazing!

-You're amazing. -Oh, well we're not done yet.

We still have a lot of work to do.

Thank you so much for doing this.

Thank you for being there when we needed help.

-Open up. -Sure.

[sad music]

[knocking]

Farida.

I need help.

I can do that.

[crying]

Ma'am, can you hear me?

Another drunk chug.

-Seriously? -Hey, calls 'em like I sees 'em.

She's got a bracelet.

She's diabetic.

Nice call, asshole!

-You just call me an asshole? -Calls 'em like I sees 'em.

Lean you back, right here.

Grab me the glucose pack from the bag,

she's hypoglycemic.

Everything's gonna be fine.

-You got it? -[wheezing]

-Excellent. Thanks. -[wheezing]

You leave any cashews in the car?

-What? -He's going into

-anaphylactic shock. -Go! I got this.

[tense music]

You okay, man?

You're choking.

[grunting]

-[grunting] -[gasping]

-What kind of a hack are you? -Me?

You didn't even know I was choking!

-[grunts] -[thud]

You're done now, buddy!

Assaulting an officer is gonna get you some jail time.

Whoa! Hang on!

-We can work something out. -We ain't working shit out.

You can kiss your medical career goodbye.

You can have my bike.

Huh?

My Harley, it's yours free of charge.

-Don't do it, Charlie. -Back off, I got this.

It's his word against mine, I'll think I'll take my chances.

Yeah, and your word isn't going to be worth shit

when he walks in with blood all over his face.

He's a cop!

We're working under his guidance!

Healy talked to us about this.

Look. I owe you, man.

It's all good.

We got a deal or what?

Deal.

All right, you good?

Eva, do you want me to talk to Bonnie?

-No. -I have a sister,

so I have a pretty good short hand on sibling rivalry.

It's a lot deeper than that.

Same shit, different flies.

You've been here five months,

you got the whole town figured out?

You know what it's like living with residential schools,

shitty housing, diabetes, drug abuse?

No. I don't.

Yeah.

But what difference does that make,

when you're out there every day

trying to separate the doctor from the friend,

the doctor from the cousin,

the doctor from the Malone,

that one through ten removed.

Maybe home isn't the best place

for you to be practicing medicine.

Unless I'm missing something

and this has nothing to do with that.

I told Bonnie and Gordie to get off the junk.

Sharing needles with other junkies,

she knew damn well what the risks were.

Eva, it's not your fault.

You gotta stop beating yourself up about it.

-Wow, that went really well! -Yeah.

You got a real flair for matching them up.

That cat looked like she'd been

on that woman's lap her whole life.

-Right? -[phone ringing]

Hello?

Yeah, yeah, this is Cameron.

[tense music]

Really? Uh, no, I haven't seen her.

Yeah, absolutely.

That didn't sound good.

Dawn's disappeared from the hospital.

[melancholic song]

Jesus.

Some days it's just...

like trying to drink water through a fire hose, isn't it?

What have you got there?

Warren.

[melancholic song]

Dr. Cardinal?

We've got a match.

[song continues]
