"It was nice." "The only thing that hurts is my stomach." "I had 2 bagels." "Why did you come here from Haiti?" "Your grandma's calling you." "You were hired while I was away." "Olivier-Luc Laveaux, 2nd-year intern, quite handsome." "He must be gorgeous." "I hope you had a good time." "Men are unable to resist a nasty woman with authority." "Your father thinks you can't handle pressure and that you're not reliable." "He scares me." "I'd like you to keep an eye on Béatrice." "Drinking that much isn't right." "The woman you saw with Dr. Laveaux is not what you think." "His roommate?" "Dr. Clément." "What?" "And so it started again." "Cramps, nausea, vomiting..." "At least I know what it is." "And it's..." "You'll be happy to hear me say I suffer from anxiety." "Not at all." "It's reassuring to know you don't have cancer." "What happened the other day at the hospital left me nervous." "What happened?" "The bus accident with children involved." "Don't you watch the news?" "Tell me about it." "There was an accident in the Ville-Marie tunnel." "A school bus full of children." "They were coming back from a trip." "The tunnel has been closed to traffic in both directions in order to evacuate the vehicles..." "I'm coming, I'm coming." "A dozen people were expected at St-Hippolyte." "So we called everybody in." "Doctors, interns, nurses..." "Why didn't you answer?" "I lost my cell phone." "I'm sorry." "HELPING BEATRICE" "Please hurry up." "There's a big event tonight." "Let's focus." "Thank you all for coming." "Don't play God." "Examine the injured, make a diagnosis if possible, and then transfer them." "Critical care doctors, neurologists, they all have been called." "Most importantly, if you're not sure, ask." "Go!" "Good luck." "Madam, take a seat, please." "The main room was hell." "Parents were starting to arrive." "It's a good thing you came." "However, you should've seen me first." "We'll talk about that." " Mrs. Soucis..." " Are you OK?" "My daughter is on a trip and I can't reach her." "We'll help you." "If she finds out through the news..." " Did you leave her a message?" " She's not there!" "If she can't reach you, she'll listen to her messages." " She'll listen to her messages." " OK." "Thank you." " Go see Mrs. Souhabi." " I'll be back." "Mrs. Souhabi?" "It was absolute mayhem." "An accident with children involved is just terrible." "That's when you felt sick?" "No." "I was still doing fine." "But then, a girl arrived." "A little girl with her big sister." "I know, I know." "Let me work." "OK." "You can stand over there and watch your sister." "I won't take long, sweetheart." "I just want to make sure you don't have other injuries." "OK, that's enough now." "I'll take care of her." " She's going to kill me." " What?" "Dr. Clément, I need you." "I'm almost done." "Stop!" "Take her to a room." "We'll examine her." "I was already examined." "Then take her to the lounge." " Dr. Clément!" " I'm coming." "Inès!" "I need an X-ray of her legs, please." "Her legs." "Let me see your wound." "I'm Joliane Brassard's mother." "My daughters are somewhere here." "Please, madam." "You have to calm down." "Calm down." "Do you see your daughters?" "Yes." "Joliane." "Are you OK, baby?" "Why doesn't she answer?" "We gave her a sedative." "Mrs. Brassard?" "My last name is Dallaire." "I'm divorced." "How is she doing?" "Is it serious?" "We took X-rays and she seems to have merely leg fractures." "Merely?" "I told you I didn't want you to go on that outing." "Please." "Dad signed the paper." "I know." "He'll have to deal with me." "Were you sitting next to her on the bus?" "Why are you OK?" "It wasn't Sarah-Eve who fell asleep while driving a truck that ran into a bus in the Ville-Marie tunnel." "I understand you're worried, but try to calm down." "Joliane is going to have to wear plasters, yes." " But she was very lucky." " Lucky?" "Clearly, she's not your daughter." " Do you have children?" " No." "You don't know what it is, then." "When you're divorced and your ex stands in your way..." "It was one of the worse nights in the ER, ever." "10 wounded children, 3 seriously." "And I, the ER co-director, ended up in the locker room, crying." "I threw my guts up in the toilet." "Completely dysfunctional." "Pathetic." "I know what you're going to say." "That it's normal, I'm fragile and I've been seeing you for just a few months." "Is that what you want to hear?" "Say whatever you want." "I'm going to hate it, as usual." "Two daughters, the oldest protects the youngest, their mother holds her responsible..." "Sounds familiar?" "It's not the first time I see injured children whose parents lose it." "Then why did you "throw your guts up", as you say?" "I hadn't made the connection." "But it's true that the mother's tone was identical to my father's when he talked about my brother." "When did he talk about him?" "All the time." "Before he died, I had to take care of him, and after he died, he said it was my f..." "He told you it was your fault?" "No, not really." "You said he punished you after your brother died." " Huh?" " Your swimming classes." "Oh, that." "No, no..." "I said I had the feeling he wanted to punish me." "Anyhow, that's not the point." "What's the point?" "I wanted that night to end right there." "But it didn't." "It continued the morning after." "There were no casualties, but many children are in bad shape." "Listen, I know you're busy." "It's about Christophe." "I don't think you understand how much your silence hurts him." "No." "He's imagining stuff." "He's starting to think you're sick." "You need to talk." "He's very worried." "Really?" "He's worried, huh?" "Listen, he's so worried he went to the hospital to talk ill of me." "I don't understand." "It's the kind of thing Christophe does in secret." "So you keep on taking pity on him." "Are you sure he did that?" "Ask Bernadette." "It was hell." "Accidents with children are unbearable." "Why didn't they call us?" "They had enough children around." "We could have helped." "We could have changed dressings or whatever." "Certainly not that." "That's my job, sweetheart." "Olivier-Luc, what's up with your hair?" "Here." "It happens when I don't get enough sleep." "Some sort of capillary mutiny." "I bet you were there, lucky devil." "It was tough, Véro." "There were little children, 6 and 7-year-olds." "And the organizers, too." "Slightly older: 14, 15-year-olds." "Your first summer job and you have to live a nightmare." "At least we were lucky." "There were no casualties." "The injured persons - 6 to 16-year-old children - were taken to three metropolitan hospitals." "Some have multiple injuries, but no casualties have been reported." "An investigation is underway to establish the cause of the accident." "Hello." "I'm Béatrice Clément's aunt." " Hello." " Is Béatrice here?" "I haven't seen her yet." "She worked until late." "I can page her." "She's at the cafeteria." "No, I just came to say hello." "Excuse me." "I'm updating the list of barbiturates." " I need the figures." " I have them." "Perfect." "Ginette Thouin, Edith's sister?" "Bernadette Rioux." " Long time no see!" " Yes." "I loved your sister very much." "I'm sorry for what happened to her." "Béatrice reminds me of her." "Sorry." "It was nice seeing you again." "Are you the mother of...?" "No." "Could you tell me where the cafeteria is?" "Go straight down the hall." "Then turn left after the counter." " Thank you, Dr..." " Laveaux." "Laveaux?" "You're Dr. Laveaux?" "Yes." "Why?" "No reason." "It's just that..." " Room 2." " Thank you." "Tell them I sent you." "They will let you see him." "Insist on..." " Béatrice?" " Excuse me." " What?" " We need to talk." " I'm busy." " I'm sorry about yesterday." " It's OK." " It's not." "I barely remember when you left." "When I heard the news, it all came back." "You were quite drunk." "I know what it's like for you to see me like that, after what your mom went through." " It won't happen again." " Then stop drinking." "I won't call you when I'm drunk." "You sound like an alcoholic." "Yes, I do." " I saw your boyfriend." " Who?" " Dr. Laveaux." " Keep it down." "You're in a hospital." " He's cute." " Come on..." "You did a good job yesterday." "But you have to report to the head of service." "Yes." "I was a bit in shock, to be honest." "You have to respect the hierarchy." "I have a boss, too." "I can't not know where my employees are." "I understand." "It's a professional tic, having been a supervisor." " Don't take it personally." " That's not the issue." "You can smile all you want." "You were hired while I was away and now you don't follow the rules." "Alright." "I'll be more careful in the future." "Good." " Will you be OK?" " I'll take the bus." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "Oh my God..." " Did you find the way?" " I even found Béatrice." "I'll talk to you later, Gin." "I have to go." "You know each other?" "My aunt Gin." "Gin Thouin, aunt and best friend." "Pleasure." "Where's my daughter Joliane?" "Your daughter was transferred to a room." " Why wasn't I notified?" " I'm Dr. Laveaux." "Joliane is with her father." "I didn't think it was a problem." "Everything's a problem with my ex." "Hi, Sarah-Eve." "Alright?" "She's a bundle of nerves." "She's been throwing up, and she doesn't speak." "Cut the nonsense now." "We'll try to find your daughter, madam." "What do you mean "try"?" " You're not feeling good." " No." "I don't have all day." "Does your head hurt?" "Tell me your name." "Sarah-Eve, tell me your name." "Stretcher, please." "Call the neurologist!" "Hurry up!" "Easy, easy..." " Easy." " What is it?" "She has a head injury with vomiting." "Reduced level of consciousness." "Possible intracranial bleeding." "Shit..." " What's going on?" " Your daughter was injured." " Wasn't she examined?" " She told me so." "And you believed her?" "Turn around..." "You stay here." "Come on, come on, go!" "Male, 58, severe hypertension." "You give him what?" "Hydralazin, 40 mg every 6 hours." "Not anymore." "Now it's Labetalol IV, 20 mg immediately and 20 more after 10 to 20 minutes." " Labetalol, 20 mg, IV?" " Yes." "Labetalol." "7-year-old, bacterial infection of the respiratory tract." " Erythromycin." " You will prefer azithromycin." "Check the posology." "It depends on the weight." "I hope I make it." "Of course you will!" "Cheer up!" "Coralie?" "What's the matter?" "I need to talk to you for a minute." " This is Coralie, my daughter." " Pleasure." "Lucie is our chief nursing officer." "Nice to meet you." "I need 60 dollars for a photo shoot." "The actors agency wants us to present a portfolio." "My daughter wants to be an actress." "Really?" "We'll talk about it later." "I'm busy right now." "But you're in the cafeteria." "I'll see you later." "I just need 60 dollars." "Don't do this to me, please." "Leave." "Teenagers..." "Nice day." "A lot of work?" "Not so much, but..." "I'm still adjusting, so to speak." " Finch..." " House finch." "House finch." "That's correct." "You're good." ""The Board" ""of Directors would like to congratulate" ""our ER doctors for their work" ""after the terrible accident." ""Thank you to the interns, who didn't" ""hesitate to answer our calls." ""Thanks to you, we did such amazing work." ""We congratulate you again" ""and encourage you to keep up the good work." "Sincerely," ""The Board"." "Anything to add, Dr. Clément?" "Yes." "You were amazing." "I'm very happy with everybody." "Nice team work." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "We almost missed one, but that wasn't your fault." "Don't blame yourself." "How could I have not noticed?" "All the signs were there." "She lied to you." "She said she'd been examined." "She diverted the attention." "You couldn't know." " So?" " She's worried about a patient." "A subdural hematoma that went unnoticed." "Dr. Clément missed something?" "I don't believe it." "I do." "She's a human being." "It's not her fault." "She hadn't been examined." " Of course it's not her fault." " Stop it, Véro." " I'm sorry, you're sensitive." " It's..." "You beat her over and over." "I agree." "Dr. Clément's perfect." "If only she could have us take the evaluation." "She will." "See?" "I told you." "I thought someone else would do it." "That's for the final test." "Don't worry about your midterm exam." "You may not realize, because you're always criticizing, but Dr. Clément is a great teacher." "I wish she had been my teacher before." "She talks about the doctor-patient relationship." "Béatrice Clément's fan club is now closed." "You also think she's cool." "Admit it." "I admit it." "But she can be very strict." "Maybe you should stop being nasty all the time." "I'm not nasty." "You're exaggerating." "I would say she's nasty just half the time." "I keep thinking about her." "She's become an obsession." "She's stable for now." "The hematoma hasn't progressed." "Will she make it?" "I don't know." "She had several hemorrhages during surgery." "Keep me informed." "Is she someone you know?" "Yes." "You could say that, yes." "I can't cry just because I have a patient who's in a coma." "Why were you crying?" "What do I know?" "I'm upside down." "I feel responsible for the girl." "Responsible or guilty?" "Guilt is responsibility that turned out bad." "Really?" "Where does that come from?" "One of my teachers used to say it." "Really?" "I thought it came from you." " Why?" " Because of your brother." "I don't understand." "You told me that if you hadn't been so scared of your father, your brother wouldn't have died." "Isn't that a responsibility that turned bad?" "What are you implying?" "I might be wrong..." "Come on, say it." "You think I blame myself for my brother's death." "Don't you?" " It's more complicated than that." " Tell me." "Look, it's been 30 years." "Why are you always bringing my brother back?" "Other things happened in my life." "30 years later, a mother blames her daughter for her sister's injuries and you end up vomiting in the changing room." "Honestly..." "I can't believe it." "Am I dwelling on those old stories again?" "You're trivializing what happened to you." "No, I'm not, but..." "There are people with more difficult lives." "That doesn't make your suffering less important." ""My suffering"..." "I better get a grip." "I'm not dead." "Would you have considered it a serious matter if you had died?" "Your brother died." "You lived." "For an 11-year-old girl, outliving her brother is not easy to accept." "I'll have to pay for your paper tissues." " Hi." " Hi." "You look terrible." "Thanks." "That's nice of you." "What's wrong?" "I hardly slept, and I'm worried about one of my patients." "What about you?" "Nothing." "By the way, is Maria, my boss, always like that?" "Always like what?" "She's all stuck-up, she gives me no work, she's severe, as if she didn't want me to be there." "Someone's resisting your legendary charm." "Can't be good." "Stop it." "It's not funny." "How did I go from nice guy to bad guy in such a little time?" "Please, Benoît, you're not a "bad guy"." "You're overreacting." "Dr. Clément..." "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were busy." "Dr. Laveaux, I don't think you've been introduced to Benoît." " Benoît Richard, my ex-husband." " Nice to meet you." "He works in social services." "Social worker." "I'm a second-year resident." "Béat..." "Dr. Clément is my supervisor." "I'm going to go." "Dr. Laveaux." "What did you want to ask me?" "I don't remember anymore." "Sorry." "Nice to meet you." "What?" "He's the bagel guy, the "secret garden" man." "Yes." "Don't you think he's a bit young?" "Yes." "He's too young, even." "How about little Zoé?" "All right?" "I shouldn't be worried about the girl." "It's not... professional." "Do you understand why you're worried?" "Yes." "But that doesn't make me feel any better." "Of course." "However, your intern's right." "It was not your fault." "I'm always blaming myself for something." "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here." "I must admit it's been hard lately." "You have quite a few things on your mind." "And Benoît is still confused by what I told him." "Did you mean it?" "Yes, but I shouldn't have said it to him like that." "He lost his mother recently." "He has a new job." "His last relationship ended as we already know." "It's not easy for him." " You're worried about your ex." " Yes." "I'm worried about Gin, too." "It's not easy for her, either." "She's 60 and is totally broke." "Of course." "It's not easy." "Who else?" "Huh?" "Who else are you worried about?" "Right..." "Who do I think I am?" "My friends will do fine without me worrying about them." "I don't think that's the question." "It's normal for us to worry about those we love." "What is not normal... is to think that it will be our fault" "if things turn bad for our loved ones." "Exactly." "See?" "You don't need me anymore." "If it's OK with you, I'll come a few more times." "See you next Tuesday." " Hi, Zach." " Hi, madam." "You're not at school?" "No." "I sometimes skip it." "But it's OK." "I suck anyway." " Any wastes?" " Yes." "My roommate and I are pretty good at recycling now." "Wow!" "Your apartment is huge." "It's the biggest apartment in the building." "Here, take the tray." "What's yours like?" "It's small." "My room is the same size as a closet." "There's less cleaning to do." "Are you rich?" ""Rich", yes." "I make a lot of money." "But I don't enjoy it because I work all the time." "Want some juice?" "No." "I have to get going." "Before you go, I would like to ask you a question." "Tell me if I'm too nosy." "Does your grandma live with you?" " I don't have a grandma." " OK." "Who's the lady that picked you up?" "That's not my grandmother." "That was my mother." "I thought you were at school." "Do you love me?" "Of course." "Where did you get those clothes?" "My friends helped me." "Jeanne lent me the top, and the shoes are Vanessa's." "Why are you dressed like that?" "The audition is today." "They're going to choose a few of us." "Do you stand a chance?" "Why wouldn't it work?" "They will promise you things." "I don't want you to be disappointed." "Take it off." "If it doesn't work, I'll do something else." "I just need some help from you." "I used to tell Manmie I wanted to become an actress." "All I want is a chance." "And 40 dollars for the audition." "Unbelievable!" "You think money grows on trees?" "Coralie..." "OK, alright." "This is the third message I've left." "Call me." "I'm getting worried." "I love my mother but I'm ashamed of her because... she looks old." "It's because of her disease." "What disease?" "Chronic fatigue syndrome." "If she hadn't had me at 45, she would have been fine." "It's my fault." "No, Zach." "Believe me, I'm a doctor." "Chronic fatigue syndrome has unknown causes." "You didn't trigger it." "My mother says that too, but I'm not sure." "On top of that, my father left when my mother became pregnant." "She's alone because of me." "If dogs pooped on saws, they would saw their asses up." "What?" "If dogs pooped on saws, they would saw their asses up." "That's stupid." "As stupid as saying:" ""If that hadn't happened, this wouldn't have happened"." "Blah, blah..." "You can't go back in time." "What happened, happened." "When I was young, I too was ashamed of my mother." "I never invited anyone home." " Was she old?" " No." "But she was unhappy." "She used to drink a lot." "I had to take care of her, instead of her taking care of me." "My mother takes care of me." "She doesn't want my OCD problem to worsen." "That's why she insists on me taking pills." "But what I do to feel better is none of her business." "You're talking about your rituals and calculations?" "Yes." "My shrink calls them "compulsions"." "I think they're solutions." "It's stuff I do so everything goes fine." "If I do it as I'm supposed to do it," "I think that my mother... will be alright." "You do know it has no real effect on your mother." "I'm not totally sure it has no impact on her." "Your mother's lucky to have you." "Yeah." "I help her quite a bit." "But she's cool." "She makes me cookies." "Some days, it's all she does." "They're really good." " Do you want some?" " Yes." "I see." "This is what I call a cookie, sir." "I know, right?" "My mother is cool." "What can we do for you?" "I don't know about him, but I'm free." "You can give me all the patients you want." "As long as she's here, I suppose you're up for anything." "No rumors, Jean-Gilbert." "JG, she had just started not avoiding me." "Be careful." "Straight guys can be so naïve!" "Did you see her smile?" "She smiled at you." "You think?" "Well, yes." "What a waste..." "What are you doing?" "I told you not to come here." "I knew you weren't busy." "I was watching you." "You think it's reassuring to know you watch me?" "Come on, Dad..." "How are you doing?" "I'm good." "How are you?" "I prefer the balsamic ones." "What do you want, Eléonore?" "Do I have to want something to come see my daddy?" "I wouldn't get to see you otherwise." "OK..." " Is this one of your sessions?" " No." "If you don't keep a promise, I won't either." "You don't honor our agreements." "Please, don't start." "I don't give a damn about your agreements." "If you think it's easy..." "I know." "No, you don't, and you don't want to know either." "You spend your time listening to rich people whining." "Your own daughter is in deep shit and you won't help her." "Don't be unfair." "The help you want is not the help you need." "Blah, blah, blah..." "So..." "I guess... it will be pointless to ask you to pay my electric bill." "Do you have it?" "I can pay it." "OK..." "I get it, old man." "She asked me to keep her informed." "Sometimes, you expect the worse and the best happens." "And sometimes, it's the other way round." "Responsibility is not always in the same place." "When the worst happens, we do our best." "But still, we need to find who's responsible." "But the best responsible person is often the same one." "Milos." "You lost all your friends in an earthquake, your wife died..." "How did you accept all that?" "I didn't accept it." "I decided not to look back." "I needed to work, help as many people as possible." "And then, there was Coralie." "She misses her mom." "I'm not..." "I'm not always up to the job." "I have many Haitian friends here and over there." "Things don't always turn out well." "They strive to survive, of course, but, most importantly," "they've lost their happiness." "They are haunted by a feeling of guilt." "Guilt?" "They survived." "Their neighbors didn't." "That's why they feel they don't have a right to be happy." "That's the hardest part." "It's... managing to stay happy." ""Managing to stay happy"." "Many of us don't even have time to be happy." "I've been a doctor for 15 years, and I can't get used to it." "When we lose a patient," "I blame myself." "That's the case now." "Do you want to come up for a coffee?" "Hot chocolate?" "Pepsi?" "An infusion?" "Some chicken soup?" "Lemonade?" "Your cell phone... did you find it?" "Yes." "Is..." "Is your roommate there?" "I don't know." "I'll go see." "Don't go anywhere." "No, she's not home." "I don't care anyway." "Shall we go inside before we drown?" "I'd like to keep talking about that, but... you and I have a problem, as you might know." "I'd like to talk about it." "There's nothing to say." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Media"
