Arrhythmia Page #5

Synopsis: Oleg is a young gifted paramedic. His wife Katya works at the hospital emergency department. She loves Oleg, but is fed up with him caring more about patients than her. She tells him she wants a divorce. The new head of Oleg's EMA substation is a cold-hearted manager who's got new strict rules to implement. Oleg couldn't care less about the rules - he's got lives to save. His attitude gets him in trouble with the new boss. The crisis at work coincides with the personal life crisis. Caught between emergency calls, alcohol-fueled off-shifts, and search for a meaning in life, Oleg and Katya have to find the binding force that keeps them together.

Why would you do that?

That was the right thing to do.

You're telling me it's all true?

No, everything else is not true.

"...grabbed my mother, dragged

her against her will..."

It's not true.

"...didn't take their shoes off..."

Well, yeah, we didn't.

Write it down:

The patient gave her consent

to hospitalization...

in a critical, life threatening condition.

Let's omit the push and

your shoes, okay?

We're ignoring that?

We are.

Do you think it'll help?

I don't know. That's my

last week on the job.

I'll try to take care of this.

If I don't, I'm sorry.

You'll have to take it

to your new boss, then.

No idea who he is and

what his methods are.

Oleg!

Oleg, wake up!

Hey, get in here.

Who's that in the kitchen?

He works in the trauma unit.

What the hell?!

Katya, go to sleep.

Oleg, leave my bed now!

Katya, cut it out!

I'm not leaving the bed.

Go to sleep.

A**holes!

Oleg.

What the...?!

Katie!

Are you mad at me?

Come on, what's wrong?

Give me a break!

I haven't gotten laid in a week.

What's going on?

What are you up to?

Did I offend you in some way?

You did not, Oleg.

It feels like you live

in some other galaxy.

I'm tired of trying to get there.

I've run out of fuel, water, food...

desire!

Moreover, this galaxy doesn't give

a sh*t if I ever get there or not!

It just doesn't care!

Even if I get there, I don't think

this galaxy will even notice that.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Leave the room.

I want you to leave me alone.

Keep your eyes open. Look at me.

- I can't breathe!

- Come on, that's not true.

- Let me go!

- Where are you off to?!

Take it easy!

- I'm dying here!

- Shut your mouth!

Don't speak, just breathe calmly.

That's it, great job!

Look at me.

Cut it out! Take it easy

and breathe calmly!

Your X-ray is almost ready.

Take it easy! Breathe!

That's it! Good job.

Look at me. Good boy.

You won't feel a thing

during the operation.

It'll be over in a second.

Saturation is decreasing.

Put the mask on.

Oleg, you either come in or leave.

Katya, can I have a word with you?

Take him to the operating room.

Pneumothorax?

Yes. The lung is pressed down.

What is it?

We have to talk.

Right now? I have several patients waiting.

I'll wait here, then.

Is it urgent?

It is.

I'm working overnight.

That's okay. I'll wait here.

Then we'll talk.

Okay, fine.

Easy, easy!

You are doing great!

They'll get you fixed.

You'll walk home after that.

In three weeks or so.

Katya, you got any smokes?

Yeah.

The last one.

I'll go buy some.

Okay.

Hey!

I could've been asleep.

Nothing much, just hanging around.

Where you guys at?

Where?

Well...

I can drop by for half an hour.
