Nancy starts to step up into the copter.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

Unh. Unh. You don’t ride.

NANCY:

I’m coming along.

RABBIT:

I gotta work, Naughty.

NANCY:

Don’t call me that. You need help.

RABBIT:

Yeah. I need Terry to hold him down

when he wakes up and bugs.

(a look)

Not enough room for you and me.

Terry shoots Nancy a look. She’s pissed.

NANCY:

Great. Boys club.

Helping batten down the body, Terry’s got no time for this.

TERRY:

Nancy it’s about the guy on the

gurney. Not you and Rabbit’s egos.

Blowing a kiss, Rabbit bangs on the hull. Rotor lifts off.

NANCY:

Bastard.

16 INT. EMT HELICOPTER - DAY 16

Rabbit’s got the uplink going to SFGH. DR. JOE’S FACE appears

on the screen next to the readout of Walker’s vitals.

RABBIT:

Alright, we’ve got SCF but it feels

like he’s gonna code out within 20.

INTERCUT:
TRAUMA CENTER - SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL

Rabbit and Walker hang on the screen in front of Dr. Joe.

Heart rate’s minimal, BPs horrible, Blood gases nightmarish.

DR. JOE

Then get him here in 5. How much

Epi did you and Nancy put into him?

RABBIT:

10 mg. Five ones and a five. We got

him back with Atropine.

DR. JOE

Cardiac lacerations.

17 EXT. TOP FLOOR - INCOMPLETE SKYSCRAPER - DAY 17

Boone, Tyler and Nancy watch the helicopter pull away.

INT. EMT HELICOPTER - DAY 18

Up front, Rotor crests guides the copter up, toward the

canyon of skyscrapers. In back, an ALARM sounds.

RABBIT:

He’s arrhythmic.

(Feeling Walker’s chest)

RABBIT (CONT'D)

Like a hummingbird. It’s atrioventrical.

Whole heart.

Terry grabs for a defibrillator.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

Can’t de-fib. It’ll tear a hole in

his heart.

More alarms. Walker’s CODING, dying on the gurney.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

And verapamil will probably kill

him. Damn... Joe, a little Godly

wisdom might help right now...

CLOSE UP:
SCREEN

A light dusting of ELECTROMAGNETIC SNOW obscures Dr. Joe’s

face. Harsh static sounds through the speaker.

RABBIT (CONT’D)

What the hell...

(realizing)

Jesus.

Rotor! There’s not

another...

EXT/INT. EMT HELICOPTER - DAY 19

Through the windshield, Rotor sees a NEWS HELICOPTER appear

from around a nearby building, heading straight toward them.

The News Copter’s coming too fast. Rotor pulls up, just as

the News Copter dives. It’s a slow motion symphony of

disaster. The COPTERS COLLIDE. Metal rips metal.

20

EXT. TOP FLOOR INCOMPLETE SKYSCRAPER - DAY 20

Nancy and the others watch the copters crash into each other
