see if he’s got a cell phone?

Tyler does. He tosses it to Rabbit.

CLOSE UP:
WALKER’S PHONE

Rabbit scrolls the numbers, comes to “Home” and hits it.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

Board him for the copter.

BOONE:

The man’s dead.

RABBIT:

No, he’s dead in three minutes.

Difference, Boone. Big difference.

A WOMAN’S VOICE answers the phone.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

Hi, this is Reuben Palchuk, I’m an

EMT. Seems your husband...

(a whisper)

What’s his name?

BOONE:

Jason Walker.

RABBIT:

Jason’s had an accident on the job.

A FLURRY OF SOUNDS come through the phone.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

No. No. No. He’s fine. He’s going

to be just fine.

That raises a few eyebrows. Nancy just looks disgusted as

they strap WALKER’S lifeless body to a board. Boone, Tyler

and Terry carry. Nancy works. Rabbit follows.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

I just wanted to ask you a few

questions. Is Jason on any

medication. Cumitin?, MAO

inhibitors? Oh Okay...

He looks at Nancy. “Nope, no medication.”

RABBIT (CONT’D)

Just one more thing. Was he in the

military recently?

(Listening, a smile grows)

Alright. Thank you. He’ll be at SF

General in about ten minutes. You

can meet him there.

Away from the scene, the copter’s landed on the roof.

NANCY:

Military?

(off Rabbit)

Where? How long?

RABBIT:

Iraq. Three months ago.

NANCY:

Oh Christ.

BOONE:

What? What?

NANCY:

Guy’s been vaccinated up the ass

and...

RABBIT:

... they’ve been lacing the

soldiers up with every next-gen,

anti-anxiety med on the planet. I

mean the good stuff.

Rabbit and Nancy are finishing each other’s sentences. The

others can just try to keep up.

NANCY:

This guy’s immune to adrenaline.

They rush out toward the whirring copter. They’re on top of

the city. It’s the pinnacle of a high intensity moment.

Rabbit just drinks it all in.

RABBIT:

(to himself)

Poor bastard.

(to Nancy)

If it was me, I’d go...

NANCY:

Atropine..

RABBIT:

Can’t beat the classics.

She’s already got the mammoth NEEDLE ready. Rabbit vaults

into the copter’s trauma bay as Nancy slams the needle

straight into WALKER’S NECK. She thumbs the plunger...

Walker GASPS, heaves up, falls back down. Nancy checks his

carotid artery

NANCY:

I got a pulse!!!

Rabbit golf claps and gestures to the bed in the copter.

They slide Walker on. Rabbit hooks Walker up. Vitals hit the

screen. The barest heartbeat.

RABBIT:

Alright buddy, the door’s open,

let’s walk you through.
