I KNOW YOU'RE ONLY

HERE FOR A BIT,

BUT IT WOULD:

MEAN A LOT TO ME

IF YOU COULD HELP OUT,

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME,

LIKE YOU DID:

IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SURE, GRANDPA.

MOM, I'M FLYING!

HALEY, PUT THA SEAT BELT BACK ON.

MOM, KNOW WHAT?

YESTERDAY IN SCHOOL,

MY TEACHER TAUGHT ME

THAT IF ME, YOU

AND HALEY:

EACH HAVE:

TWO CUPS OF ICE CREAM,

THAT'S ONE

AND A HALF QUARTS.

WOW, I'M IMPRESSED.

SO CAN WE?

WHOA!

MOM, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

OH, MY GOSH.

STAY IN THE CAR.

ZACH, CALL 911!

MISS, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

ARE YOU OKAY?

CAN YOU TALK?

OH, HERE, HERE, HERE.

LET'S GET YOU OUT.

I'M GOING TO LAY YOU DOWN.

HERE...

HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.

MA'AM? MA'AM, NO, NO, NO.

STAY WITH ME.

MY NAME IS CHRISTINE.

NO, NO, STAY WITH ME.

WHAT DO I DO,

WHAT DO I DO?

OKAY, UH...

STAY WITH ME.

PLEASE SAY EVERYTHING

WILL BE OKAY.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

STAY WITH ME.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

THE AMBULANCE:

IS ON ITS WAY.

DO YOU KNOW HER?

NO, I JUST FOUND HER

SLUMPED IN THE CAR.

WE'LL CHECK HER PURSE

FOR PERSONAL INFO.

DID SHE HAVE:

A HEART ATTACK?

SHE DID.

WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

OKAY.

HEY, YOU GUYS OKAY?

MAMA, WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, THAT LADY

WAS REALLY SICK,

BUT BECAUSE:

YOU SAID A PRAYER,

AND YOU CALLED 911--

GREAT JOB--

I THINK SHE'S GOING

TO BE OKAY. OKAY?

I WAS SCARED.

I KNOW.

I WAS, TOO.

I WASN'T.

YOUR WORK'S

BEEN CALLING.

OH, SHOOT!

GET IN THE CAR.

EXCUSE ME.

HI!

A WOMAN WAS HAVING

A HEART ATTACK.

I KNOW, I'LL BE THERE.

TELL ROD I'LL BE THERE.

I CAN EXPLAIN.

DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

A WOMAN WAS HAVING

A HEART ATTACK:

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING

WITH YOU, CHRISTINE.

THE KIDS, THE CAR...

ROD, I'M NO MAKING THIS UP.

SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK.

SHE CRASHED HER CAR

NEAR MY HOUSE.

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO,

JUST LEAVE HER THERE?

I'LL HAVE YOUR SEVERANCE

CHECK READY TOMORROW.

RETURN YOUR UNIFORM

WHEN YOU PICK IT UP.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME.

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

ORDERS UP!

-OH!

-HEY, WATCH OUT--

I'M SORRY. SORRY.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

WAIT, ARE YOU... YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

YEAH, THANKS.

OH, NO, NO, NO,

WHERE'S THE LOCKET?

OH, NO...

OH, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

CHRISTINE?

ARE YOU:

CHRISTINE EISLEY?

YEAH.

YOUR EX-HUSBAND

PETITIONED THE COUR FOR CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN.

WHAT?

OBVIOUSLY,

THIS ISN'T THE TIME

TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.

SO WHY DON'T I

COME BY YOUR PLACE

LATER IN THE DAY?

MY NAME IS:

PATRICIA ADDISON.

I'M FROM

FAMILY SERVICES.

HERE'S MY CARD.

HOW'S SHE DOING?

SHE'S GOING TO

BE OKAY.

WE'VE GO HER STABILIZED,

BUT THERE'S NO QUESTION

IT WAS A HEART ATTACK.

SHE'LL BE HERE

FOR A WHILE.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

WE NEED TO:

KEEP HER QUIET.

SHE'S VERY LUCKY.

IF THAT YOUNG WOMAN

HADN'T PERFORMED CPR,

WE WOULD HAVE LOST HER.
