Hours
- B.P. is spiking.
- Oh, God, I'm in pain!
- When did it start?
- Last night.
Is your wife due soon?
- Not for another 5 weeks.
- I'm fine,
- I'm getting better. I'm getting better.
- What's the B.P.?
Still high.
We can fix it, don't worry.
Nolan... Nolan...
What?
Tell me something, please.
Tell me anything.
You're gonna be okay.
Alright?
I want you to lay back down.
- Okay.
- Lay back down and breathe.
Just breathe.
Wait here.
Oh, my baby!
...do think a strong category 4 or a 5...
so certainly devastating...
deaths which occurred at the cone,
which you'll see in a moment.
The cone will cross
right through New Orleans,
but as of 5 am Central time
just, look at this storm.
I mean, meteorologically speaking it
really is a perfect hurricane
with high cloud tops high and visible.
Oh, my God.
Everyone move to the lobby upstairs!
O.R. lobby! O.R. lobby!
Take the stairs! Second floor.
Let's go. Let's go!
Sir? I need you to go upstairs.
The Doctor told me to wait here.
I understand, but the doctors will know
where to find you. Okay?
Just before dawn Katrina heads
north west straight for the coast.
Down a hair from its 175 miles
per hour peak,
for a bumpy ride...
Manuel Diego!
Mister Hayes?
Walk with me.
So, how is she?
It is a she. Did you know that?
What? Know what?
You have a baby girl.
A girl?
Let me show you
where we're keeping her
but do know that we'll need to monitor her
for the next few days.
The NICU is, is overcrowded
so I've got her in a private room.
Okay. So, how's Abigail doing?
We transfused all that we had.
I want you to know that.
Doctor Mendolson
and I we did all we could, but...
She bled out.
I'm sorry.
Okay. Okay, so...?
Mister Hayes.
I'm really sorry.
She expired at seven this morning.
Not Abby.
No.
- I'm sorry.
- Not my Abby. She's fine. Tell me she's fine.
Tell me she's fine.
I swear to God you better tell me
she's fine right now.
Just tell me she's okay. Let's just,
let's go see her. She's okay, right?
Mister Hayes, let...
Don't touch me, though.
I want you to tell me.
Just tell me she's okay.
- I'm sorry, Mister Hayes.
- No, not sorry. I don't want sorry. I want...
Mister Haynes,
let me take you to see your daughter.
Yeah.
Here at the end.
There she is.
What is this?
This is a ventilator.
Your daughter hasn't yet learned
how to breathe on her own, so...
this is giving her a little help.
Now we got an I.V. drip
to feed her nutrients and...
she'll be big and healthy
before you know.
You have any questions?
How's Abigail?
- I'm gonna give you something, It'll help you.
- No. Listen to me.
I'm okay.
It was just a stupid question.
It's okay. It's alright.
I'm gonna have a nurse check on you.
How long will this baby
need the machine?
Your daughter?
The best guess is... 48 hours.
But it's still too early to tell.
You'll know you're out of danger is
when she starts crying.
The first time she does
it's always a good sound.
- I'll be back.
- Alright. And, Doctor Edmonds...
with this storm are you gonna be
moving people out?
It's a hurricane.
Look, people are gonna tell you it's better
at Charity, or Lindy Boggs.
It won't be. Stay with your daughter,
Mister Hayes. Okay?
I don't know you.
I'm panicky. It's just going bad for me. I
see a gun and I see this guy going for it,
the best that I can.
Mind you? This is all happening
in the middle of the day,
right outside of the bank,
in the parking lot. Sorry.
- That's when I rob all my banks.
- Hush.
So the driver gets out of the car
Meanwhile I'm playing keep-away
with the guy for the gun,
- but the driver doesn't go for the gun.
- He goes for the money.
The duffel bag.
the driver, and he runs back to the car.
- Mean while Mr. pantyhose face is screaming...
- He was, like, "Larry! Larry don't you dare!"
Yeah. So, Larry, the getaway driver,
hightails it out of there.
He's peeling out, he's just about to the street
when this little car comes out of nowhere...
- My car is not that little.
- It's a little car.
It got the job done, didn't it?
- You wanna tell the story or should I finish?
- Anyway, I get out, I run over,
and I mace him
as he's getting out of his car.
Yeah, it was hairspray.
- There's no mace about it. That was hairspray.
- I blinded him and he couldn't run.
I did my job. And the police got there
shortly afterwards and...
- we saved the day... Yeah.
- Yeah.
- That's how we met.
- Yeah.
Oh my god you two.
- You're like an old married couple.
- Oh, we're not having kids.
- No, we're not married.
Abby.
I don't want the baby now.
I want you back.
I want you.
Please...
Sir?
You can't be back here.
She's my wife.
She's my wife
I'm sorry.
But this area is off limits.
Well, she shouldn't be
on the floor like this.
We're running short on staff today,
there's a backlog.
Well, whatever, let's get a body bag or
something, we'll put her in a body bag...
There really isn't anywhere else
for her to go.
It will only take a minute. Let's just
get her on some higher ground please.
Come on, get her feet.
Okay.
Thank you.
I mean that.
It's okay.
I'm sorry for your loss.
