Jordan Bennett, 16-year-old male.
Fell off a reach during a rock slide
at the South County State Park. He's critical.

Massive head trauma, arrested during transpo.
ROSC after 1 amp of epi.

Lacerations on both arms, a fractured left wrist,

His friend fell. - Makes a difference.

Probably within three blocks of High Park Boulevard?

Sylvie thinks I'm mad at her, but I'm just mad at myself.
I failed her.
- That's not true at all.

How did she make the exact same mistake I did?

Life happens.
- You didn't keep your baby, did you?
- No.

You're a nurse, and I drive a bus.
- There's nothing wrong with driving a bus.
- No, but point is, mistakes can cost you if you let them.
And I don't want Sylvie driving any bus.
I want her to go wherever her heart takes her.
That's my life.
That's my life's work.
She's my life.

That can't include a baby.

- How can I leave this up to her knowing what I know?
- Because if you don't, she'll never forgive you.
And Sylvie won't know what to do until she--
until she holds that baby in her arms.
- She hasn't held her yet?
Well, I know why.
I told Sylvie a million times how
I fell in love with her the moment
I first held her in my arms.
There was no choice.
She was mine.
Sylvie knows that if she holds that baby,
she won't be able to let it go either.
- I held my baby,
and I fell in love with her too, instantly.
And then I said goodbye.
Sylvie will know what to do.

I'm Dr. Archer.
Hi. - How's our boy?
- He's still in surgery.
I'm glad we were able to reach you.
- Yeah, we were on my brother's farm
with terrible cell reception.
- Yeah.

During surgery, your son suffered a massive brain bleed,
which was a complication
from the massive skull fractures
he sustained in his fall.
Unfortunately, although we attempted
to resuscitate Jordan,
we ultimately were unable to save him,

Oh, my God, no.

Come in.

Yeah.

He was a time bomb waiting to happen.
I gave him a chance to live.

But go ahead and live in your alternate reality
