You know, the doctor said that, uh...
that his brain's startin' to come around.
They're just waitin' for his heart to stabilize.
I don't know who to believe. [ Chuckles ]
Can I bring you back something to eat?
A falafel or some pizza?
No, we just ate.
[ Sighs ] I keep thinking about how tough my father was.
Now I know he had to be like that--
to make us tough.
'Cause this city...
it'll kill you if you're not strong enough.
No, the city doesn't discriminate.
- It gets everybody. - [ Siren Chirps ]
I gotta go. Another call.
We're all dying, Mary Burke.
[ Siren Wails ]
Get ready. Frank.
Missed a drug shooting while you were dicking around in there.
Gonna be trauma tonight, baby.
As long as we keep moving. No standing still.
♫♪♪ I'm so bored with the U.S.A. Well. what can I do ♪♪♪
Look at your screen! Give us some blood!
66-X ray. a man at the bus terminal...
shot three years ago says his arm hurts.
♫♪♪ I'm so bored with the U.S.A. Well. what can I do ♪♪♪
Come on, Tom. Pick up a job.
You want some bum in the bus terminal? We'll wait for a real call.
- Let's get in a fight then. - Who with?
Keep driving. Keep moving. No stopping. We're sharks. We stop too long, we die.
Let's break something, Tom. Let's bust something! Let's bomb something!
What do you wanna break?
- Let's break some windows! - Why?
Destruction! Distraction! I feel the need!
You need a reason, Frank. You just don't go around breaking people's windows.
- That's anarchy. - What's the reason, Tom?
All right, let me think. Oh, look at this.
Classic cabbie move. Hey, swami!
It's called a crosswalk! You're supposed to stop before it, not on it!
You Senegalian raghead! Motherfucker!
I know who to work over.
Him!
This guy's been terrorizin' the neighborhood for weeks...
ever since he got out of jail, wreaking general havoc...
contributing to the bad name of the place.
You know. the term ""menace to society"" was made up for him!
- He's crazy. He can't help it. - Oh, yeah?
Well, why don't they put him away?
Prisons don't want him.
I took him to the hospital yesterday. I gave him a cup of water.
I was very nice to him. And here he is again.
Oh! Look at that!
Tell me that's a crazy person.
Huh? Every move is calculated!
He knows exactly what he is doing.
Frank, this is the guy.
I've been after him for weeks. He's quick, though.
He runs like a rat. He'd be tough for one person.
- But with the two of us, you know-- - Okay, what do I do?
Okay, I'm gonna get out here.
If he sees me, he'll run. He doesn't like me.
You start talkin' to him about baseball or something.
I'll sneak around behind him and get down...
and then you push him.
And when he falls, we get him.
- That's ridiculous. - Believe me. It always works.
Okay?
Havin'fun now!
That's a hell of a swing you got there, Noel.
- I'm thinking Mattingly in his prime. - Mattingly ain't shit.
Me, I swing like Reggie.
Huh? Mr. October, number three.
Game six of the World Series.
All right!
You hit it. Come on, take a crack at it.
It's okay.
Come on. hit it!
- [ Laughs ] - I better not.
Go ahead. Give it a go.
Try it.
Yeah?
Okay. What the hell.
The next year, tiebreaker for the division in Boston.
The Yanks down two to nothing. Bucky Dent steps to the plate.
- Lucky-Fucky-Bucky, man. - The pitch. high heater.
Bucky knows what's comin'. He steps in.
Smash! Over the Green Monster! Yeah!
Frank! What the--
What the hell are you doin'? Huh?
Now get down those stairs and go after him!
You meet me back here in ten minutes if you can't find him.
Call out if you see him! Remember. he runs like a rat!
Come on, Frank! Get with the program, man!
[ Water Dripping ]
[ Woman Sobbing ]
[ Sobbing Continues ]
[ Rose's Voice. Echoing ] Why did you kill me. Frank?
I didn't mean to.
You should've helped me.
I tried to help. I wanted to.
Rose?
- Don't you love me? - Rose.
Rose?
[ Gasping ]
To the moon, Alice! Little motherfucker!
[ Yelling ]
- Get the kit! We're gonna tube him! - What the fuck?
- Get the kit! - Frank!
You're gonna be all right, Noel. We're gonna save you. Do it, Tom!
I'll call for fuckin' backup! I swear!
- You'd call for backup? Fuck you! - [ Bat Strikes Ground ]
You're gonna make it. You're gonna make it.
[ Constance ] Let him through!
[ Chattering. Indistinct ]
Let him through. Bring him through.
Who got that funky motherfucker this time?
Last show of the night.
What do you got? What-- Oh. boy.
- Nurse Crupp! Anybody else hurt? - No.
Get him over by the counter over there.
- Gonna need an X ray for a C-spine. - Got it.
I'm gonna need respiratory down here.
Crazy bastard. At least he's intubated.
- Won't hear him screamin'tonight. - [ Griss ] People. hear me out.
Now. the path to your well-being and salvation will not be over Griss'body.
You can forget about that. 'cause Griss gets off in 4 7 minutes.
Then he's goin' home to take a bath. Nice warm bath--
Nurse Crupp, I'm gonna need another line here.
[ Crupp ] Fine. One second. Here you are.
Notify CAT scan. We're gonna need a C.T. right away. Welcome home, buddy.
[ Crupp ] Oh. look who we have. You're gonna have to start paying rent here.
- Where are you puttin'him? - [ Milagros ] Three.
Give me some gloves. please. Nurse. call CA Tscan.
- We'll be there in a couple minutes. - I got it.
Is Patrick Burke here? I brought him in.
[ Breathing Apparatus Humming ]
- [ Burke's Voice ] Frank? - Yes?
Where have you been?
What is it?
Let me go.
[ Alarm Ringing. Bell Dinging ]
Code!
[ Continuous Beep ]
- [ Man ] What's this? - Hejust coded.
- What a way to begin the day. - Mm-hmm.
One mil epi. Let me see this.
- This the man in E.R. so long? - Yes. it is.
Seventeen codes. My God.
- Who's this man? - Says he brought him in.
The family?
Seventeen codes.
Well. they must be prepared.
You know how they can be.
Yeah. I know.
Okay, stop C.P.R.
That's it. I'm calling it. 6.:02.
Are you gonna tell the family?
[ Pounding ]
Die! Die! Die!
Son of a bitch! Die! Die!
Die! Die! Die! Die!
Bastard! [ Grunts ]
- [ Ringing ] - [ Mary ] Who is it?
- Frank. - Oh, come on up.
Hi.
He's dead, Mary.
Your father passed.
They just moved him to the second floor, to I.C.U.
He coded.
They shocked him too many times. I'm sorry.
I don't know how he held on as long as he did.
I'm sorry.
You have to keep the body going...
until the brain and heart recover enough to go on their own.
Forgive me, Rose.
It's not your fault.
No one asked you to suffer.
That was your idea.
Noel was almost killed.
I took care of him.
He's gonna pull through.
Would you like to come in?
Yes.
