"I can't." "But she died alone." "This is worse." "See his home?" "Nice, huh?" "Great place to end your days!" "Can't." "It'd be a betrayal." " Wasn't meant to humiliate her!" " Then why do it?" "!" "Damn right." "Shirked my duties as senior resident." "You manipulated me, but no more!" "Loser!" "You agreed she deserved punishment!" " Sure, but this is getting sordid!" "Pure jealousy from a washed-up hysteric!" "Think I enjoyed kissing a dickless hypochondriac?" "!" "No more than I did a demented nymphomaniac!" "Stop it!" "You promised." "Homes are just places where old people are left to die." "I don't want my father dying alone crawling on the floor." "Sorry." "Got an offer from Forsythe." "Administrator decided to stay, so I'm leaving." "Research protocol at Axoplex " "$500,000 a year, plus on-duty time and surgery:" "$1 million-plus." "No problem." "Doing it for the money?" "Good enough for our CEO, good enough for me." "Cash comes first?" "Okay." "Let's apply the principle." " Where do I fit in?" " You?" "My best resident will be ready in 6 months." "Julie, ever discuss anything, second-guess yourself?" "Never." "Ex cathedra." "That's it." "Period." "Well, what's good for the goose is good for the gander." "Leaving because of Diane, or me?" "It's backlash against my decision to stay." "'Course not." "It's a student prank." " The residents?" " An initiation or something." "You should explore this type of phenomenon, actually." "It would help you better understand those strange beings known as surgeons." "Spare me the psychoanalysis." "It's vandalism." "Meilleur maybe?" "Think he's disturbed enough to do this?" "Suspects won't be lacking here if motive lies in the culprit's mental state." " You mentioned Meilleur." " Yes." "Not a word to anyone, huh, Mr. Lafrance?" "Nic handled him." "You weren't here?" "Left for an hour." " Where to?" " Home." "Problem with the boy." " Not sick, is he?" " No, he just  didn't want to go to day camp." "What?" "Cop, according to his ID." "Found in an alley by sanitation workers." "His lucky day." "Anything you can do?" " That's it?" " One more tonight." "Hispanic male, 21 ." "Deadlock." "Kaput." " About time." " Ocular migraine."

"Ten units of blood;" "fresh frozen plasma, 6 units of platelets." "Get the autotransfuser from the OR." "It's gonna be bloody." "Loyalty:" "the theme of today's seminar." "Why loyalty?" "Your themes are the subject of endless discussions." "Whose idea was the graffiti?" "Him?" "Thanks." "What better example of loyalty?" "Thanks very much." "Get on this ASAP, please?" "I made a copy for the Department of Professional Services." "It's strictly financial." "Surely you can understand that." " Why?" "Let's say I've reached that point in my career." "My mother's death opened my eyes." "Give me a chance." "I'm conscious of your demands." "I'm very sensitive to the profession's needs." "Perhaps  I was wrong... to put administration ahead of clinical medicine, but, Mathieu, I..." "I'm asking you to stay." "By the end of next month  I'm gone." "Multiple contusions." "No thoracic injuries." "Possible abdominal trauma." "Scan shows no evidence of damage." "Let's go." "Spreader." "Take something?" "Swab." "Palpate, with your hand." "Feel that?" "What now?" " Repair the liver?" " Never." "Not before identifying any source of bleeding and contamination." "First goal: stop the bleeding." "What do we always say?" " Bleeding is the bane of surgeons." "Two options." "Manual compression or Pringle manoeuvre." "Good." "Compress the damaged right lobe with the palms of your hands." "What's the hold-up?" "So, small problem, or big one?" "Big one." "Told her I was with my son." "Don't lie." "You'll get caught." "No way." "If Julie talks to your wife?" "When?" "She's always in court." "Honey, I'll call you back ASAP." "Love you." "I'm here about Stéphane Dunn." "You called about him - a cop." " Sorry." "Yes." "Mr. Dunn." " Can I see him?" "He's in surgery." "So it's not so bad?" "Unfortunately, I can't really... say right now." "What are his chances?" "From what I saw... not great." "I'll wait." "You're a friend?" "His captain." "Well." "Haemostasis is temporary." "We did a good job." "If we hadn't properly packed the abdomen around the liver, embolization would be useless." "If you're not well, get out!" "Dizziness." "What're you doing?" "Imitating her." "Doctors said you'd experience vertigo for some time." "You don't throw things around." "I'm sick of falling." "Won't last forever." "It'll get better." "When?" "Soon." "If you don't know when  how do you know it won't last?" "You've been here a year." "Have I ever lied to you?" "Haven't I always kept my promises?" "If I say it'll stop someday, you have to trust me." "My headaches, too?" "Want your medicine?" "I'll always be there for you  whenever you need me." "Never doubt that." "Aren't deep liver sutures risky?" "It's a maligned technique, but don't let that sway you." "What's important is to gently pull the thread to tighten the stitches." "Think of frozen butter." "Like sewing through butter." "Same thing." "Page the neurosurgery team." "Dr. Darveau's here." "Thanks." "Moron!" " Little stressed?" " You see how it feels, you idiot." "The Hispanic patient who was beaten." " What about him?" " Massive cerebral hemorrhage." "I'll spare you the visceral details." "Unusually brutal. 21 years old." "Why be born if only to die like that?" "He was no angel." "No." "But now, undoubtedly." "Who's that?" "A colleague of the cop who was brought in earlier." "Actually... his captain." "Waiting here?" "Nice guy." "You..." "Think cops stick together more than  say, we do?" "You mean us doctors?" "Say I was injured." "Would you... visit me at the hospital?" "Well... would you?" "Cops have a code of honour, unlike us doctors." "Right..." "What happened to the cop?" "Beaten." "Him, too?" "Do moral principles get in the way of action?" "In your opinion?" "You, Ms. Surgeon..." "Would you violate your professional ethics to save a life?" " It's a false debate." " Well, well, Etienne has opinions." "We're all ears, Doctor." "Never mind." "Despite being well-educated, young men and women from good families, today, you all look like a bunch of delinquents." "All for scribbles... on the hospital's Wall of Fame." "No need to insult us because we're less engaged." "I'll ask Sophie." "She'll tell me." "Doubt it." "Well!" "The wall of silence is cracking." "What?" "Mathieu's resigning." "I'm staying." "Can't trust him anyway - he'd sell his mother." "Let's not go overboard." "Think it's because I'm staying." "You?" "Had any offers?" "Didn't say I didn't." "Said I was staying." "That's different." "The Wall of Fame - that was your doing?" "What?" "Guess not." "This how you spend your days, sweetheart?" "Contact the Forsythe administrator for me?" "Right away." "I'll wait." " have news." "We managed to control the internal bleeding." "Then there's possible neurological damage due to hypotension, with possible cerebral anoxia due to head trauma." "But... we don't know yet." " What kind of damage?" " We'll know when he wakes up." "Could be loss of concentration, memory, motor skills..." "Can't say." "Let's hope for the best." "I know you have a code." "So do we." "You've lost me." "Don't want to interfere in your investigation, but it would help if we knew more about the circumstances..." "Meaning the circumstances of the attack?" "A young man was brought in..." "Luis Gomez?" "Is there a connection?" "How's he doing?" "Dead, unfortunately." "He was a drug dealer, gang member." "Rival gang killed Gomez  and blamed us." "Stéphane ended up alone in a bar, on a case." "Gomez's associates wanted payback for their buddy." "That simple." "But the bastards will pay someday - I guarantee it." "Well... thanks." "That clears things up somewhat." "I'll come back when I know more." "Thanks." "I wasn't distracted." "Often get vertigo?" "Never." "Be honest." "What are you on?" "You weren't yourself." "Much less efficient." "Be honest." "Crying?" "Did someone hurt you?" "You." "Telling me I was second-rate." "Why'd you do that to me?" "Why did you?" "Need me, or not?" "Decide." "Is this where we say goodbye?" "It's the others." "But I didn't think Etienne..." "It's her." "Christelle's turning them against me." "You're sorry." "I forgive you." "I was resting." "The vandalism last night - it was Labrie, right?" "Misspent youth, bookworm, few friends  bullied whiz kid." "One day, the dam breaks." "You regress to play pranks you didn't dare to at 16?" "!" "Lonely child, angst-ridden teen  uptight med student..." "Failed marriage, penchant for young women." "Shame of sorts that blows up in your face." "Urge to make an old woman happy." "That's you, right?" " If I'm concerned with your hijinks, it's to guide you, not denounce you." "You're a senior resident." "Next year, you'll do your fellowship." "How about being a role model?" " Yes, Doctor." "Unless you're covering for someone?" "Right." "I'm setting an example." "It's great news for everyone." "You, too." " Mathieu's resignation?" "Maybe not ideal romance-wise." "That's up to you, but  professionally..." "We can agree Mathieu has no consideration for others." "Does his own thing and has no concept of teamwork." "And you?" "Putting the team's interests above yours, when one of the best neurosurgeons around quits?" "Hold on." "One of the best..." "Not bad, but hardly brilliant." "Who's qualified to replace him?" " Cemeteries are full of irreplaceable people." " Yes, surrounded by patients who didn't get the necessary surgery." "Wonder what kind of girl you were." "Must've been a piece of work, huh?" "Stubborn, independent..." "Seems you always pay your way." "He said..." "you were financially independent." "Maybe he feels emasculated?" "Confiding in each other now?" "That's news to me." "Just once." "When he told me  you didn't want kids." "Basically, you're  a loner, Julie." "A lone wolf." "But  why are you shacked up, then?" "I have big news." "You're getting a new mommy." "Maybe a little brother, too." "We're getting married." "We'll be a real family  like before." "Told you everything would work out." "You had to trust me, baby." " I'm not a baby!" " You're humiliated." "I understand." "Now, if you want to fight for him  you're the head of trauma, but think about it." "Is it really best for the hospital?" "Doubtful." " Yes, /'m the boss." " I have names." "Team players." " That's okay, I'll manage." "Mathieu... is an excellent surgeon." "He has his ways, but, yes, he's one of the best." "But beyond that, you deserve better." "Patient will be out of surgery in 30 minutes - have his room ready." "Your patient's captain is the blond guy in the hallway." "Says the Hispanic patient was a gang member." "Your patient was apparently the victim of... revenge." " Any family?" " Just the captain." " Not the cop, the young man." " Him either." "No one here." "Can someone track them down?" "Someone...?" "Fine." "I'll track down the family." "I'll call them." "Right this way, Mr. Gomez." "Dr. Lemieux will be right with you." "Why proceed this way?" "That's how it's done." "Never." "At worst, we ask Dr. Légaré to comfort the family." "Why Dr. Lemieux?" "Watch and learn." "Stéphane will pull through, then?" "Very likely." "Likely...?" "50-50, or...?" " At this stage, 90% chance." " Sorry." " It's fine." "Not good with emotions." "Sorry." "Dr. Lemieux." "The gentleman you asked for is over there, waiting for you." "When can I see him?" "Go home." "We'll call you." "I want to be here when he wakes up." "Do him good to have the squad's support." "Later." "Hello." "Julie Lemieux, head of traumatology." "What do I watch and learn?" "That surgeons always have the last word, and we have the benefit of silence." "What are you doing?" "Eating, now that I did as you asked." "Enlighten her." "We're wiping the slate clean." "What we did to you, what you did, how you act." "For the rest, we're strangers." "All right?" "As for me," "I'm sorry." "You're not my type." "At all." "Got it." "Look, you've got 2 handicaps:" "your father and mother." "Admittedly, you're making an effort regarding your father, but your mother..." "What about her?" "That's the problem:" "we can't talk about her - she's the boss." "We don't want to exclude you, it's just  you have a complicated heritage." "It's not your fault, but..." "You're funny." "You completely ignore me  never invite me anywhere, play dirty tricks on me..." "Now, when I pull your stupid stunts, prove I can be one of the gang  it means nothing." "You don't earn people's trust overnight." "Takes time" " Like you'd know." "Now, would you please...?" "She'll get the message eventually." "My son wasn't bad." "I'm partly to blame - didn't give him what he needed." "The right schooling." "He was a good boy." "Generous." "Gave everyone presents  bought with drug money." "But how else what he supposed to?" "!" "My son didn't deserve to die." "He deserved punishment, but  not this." "Mr. Gomez..." "I understand what you're saying." "I'd like to know one thing about street gangs." "Street gangs  are merely about learning to survive in an indifferent world, Doctor." "That's all." "Who do you think killed your son?" "Everyone loved Luis." "Didn't have an enemy in the world." "If not the others, then who?" "The police, ma'am." "To them, Luis's life  was worth nothing." "Nothing at all." "Thanks." "Never been able to quit." "I have." "I quit, start again, quit, start again." "For me, it's insouciance." "I see so many atrocities on the job." "Lung cancer doesn't scare me anymore." "Same here." "Your criminals are the ill?" "Not the ill... but illness." "Can I ask you something?" "When one of your officers is attacked, like Stéphane  do you get payback?" "I mean, do you feel the urge to  I dunno  beat those responsible?" "That would be illegal." "The urge, not the act." "You?" "Us?" "Taking revenge on illness - don't see how." "The urge, not the act." "He's a force of nature." "Man's in good shape." "Julie Lemieux, head of traumatology." "We patched you up." "Yeah, I hurt all over." "How do you feel exactly?" " Police didn't send anyone?" " Why?" "To guard him." "His captain's in the ER." "Yeah." "We should screen sketchy-looking people at the door, in case his attacker comes to finish him off." "Is my wife here?" "Haven't notified her?" " Only your captain." "He advised us to wait." "Said it was routine." "In your squad, anyway." "It's  to avoid upsetting our loved ones... for nothing." "Who did this to you?" "He's doing well." "Very well, actually." "Can I speak to him?" "Not now." "You talked to him?" "What'd he say?" "No idea?" "Not much, I'd bet." "He's not real talkative." "You're here?" "Meilleur's in love with me." "Don't tell anyone, huh?" "I'm an idiot." "No one's speaking to you - of course you won't blab." "Defacing your father's portrait was stupid." "Unnecessary." " was asleep." "Not me." " What do you want?" " /'m not leaving." "Changed my mind." "You mean your girlfriend changed your mind?" "Her usual dirty tricks." "What?" "She told the Forsythe Hospital CEO about my record." "What, you mean the... 2 lawsuits?" "It was a known fact?" "Mathieu... was it?" "Let's say I didn't dwell on it during my interviews." "If you're both staying, /'ll have to leave?" "Would you do that for me?" "I'll think about it." "Need help, let me know." "Okay, bye." "What?" "Know what really burns my ass?" "We make a damn good team." "Who was that?" " Why?" " We're in love." "No, told him you convinced me to stay." "You're home late." " Liar." "Diane told me about your record." "You finished me off." "They beat the young Hispanic man to death." " Who?" " The cops." "Dunn talked." "He'll never agree to file a grievance against the brass." ""Blue wall of silence."" "Have to discuss the case, understand?" "Confidential." "He killed Normand." "His gang raped the corner-store clerk." "Gang-raped by 12 guys." "You sentimentalize." "You can always work for the Red Cross." "But if you fight this war with us, fall into line." "What's it gonna be?" "I'm in." "Don't worry, you're safe." "Dad?" "I know you're there." "Open up." "Dad, open the door." "I understand now." "We'll work something out." "Can I come in?" " You're always cranky!" "Bastard!" " Quit yelling" "I'll yell all I want: my life sucks!" "Ma'am, ma'am." "What's the problem?" "You a doctor?" "Fix him." " Sick?" " No, she" "Right, keep whining!" "Sonofabitch!" "Relax!" "Subtitling and Translation:" "D. Gauthier, CNST, Montreal"
