Yep, the top button on her blouse reveals a little too much.

She takes care of it.

TERRY:

I told you... Not in the van.

Climbing into the passenger seat, Nancy musses his hair.

NANCY:

Yes, in the van. I mean come on, I

get the residency, no more fun on

wheels. But...

(a naughty smile)

... There’s always the trauma room.

TERRY:

That’s just wrong.

NANCY:

Yeah, isn’t it? Relax baby. Life’s

short. Ya gotta enjoy it.

INT. ANGEL’S FLIGHT EMT SERVICES - DAY (CONTINUOUS) 8

A TV screen reads SONG FAILED on Guitar Hero as ASHER “ROTOR”

REYNOLDS (30s) tosses down the controller. He grabs a FLIGHT

HELMET and HEADPHONES and heads upstairs.

9 EXT. ROOF - ANGEL’S FLIGHT EMT SERVICES - DAY 9

Rotor bolts out on the roof, sees a FIGURE standing on the

ledge. REUBEN “RABBIT” PALCHUCK (36), somewhere between

genius and madness. Smiling serenely, toes 12 stories over

the street, Rabbit looks over the city, his city.

ROTOR:

We’re working. Dr. Joe says it’s a

bad one.

Rabbit’s smile kicks up a couple of watts.

RABBIT:

My favorite kind.

VOICE on the other end of the line.

BOONE:

...do not touch him or get near him

until you know he’s not in contact

with power. Is there any liquid

around him?

FITCH:

Yeah... Yeah... A spilled beer.

CUT TO:

the power switch and shut it down.

Casting glances back to Walker, Fitch pulls the power switch.

FITCH:

Did it. Power’s off.

INT/EXT. EMT HELICOPTER - DAY 12

Blades spin, the pristine copter powers up. In the cockpit,

Rotor checks the gauges In the back, Rabbit battens down

equipment, oxygen, crash carts.

A one-bed aerial ER, the back has a video and data link to

San Fran General. There’s enough equipment to save anyone

from just about anything. All that’s needed is talent.

ROTOR:

You eat yet?

RABBIT:

No.

ROTOR:

Good.

Crazy fast, the COPTER lifts off the helipad, then DIVES into

the canyon of skyscrapers.

CUT TO:

13 EXT. TOP FLOOR - INCOMPLETE SKYSCRAPER - DAY 13

Phone on speaker next to him, Fitch works on Walker.

FITCH:

Nothing’s happening.
