00:00Hello?
00:05Did someone call for help?
00:10The basement! Hurry!
00:12Stay on my hip and don't do anything until I tell you to.
00:15Okay.
00:25We're paramedics.
00:26We can put it down.
00:31Put that gun on the ground now. Right now.
00:34It was an accident. I swear to God.
00:37Is he dead?
00:39I don't know. We have to check him out.
00:42Can you put the gun on the ground, please? Right now.
00:46If he's dead, they won't just send me to juvie again.
00:50If he's alive, we can help him.
00:53But not until you put the gun down. Okay?
01:00No.
01:03What's your name, bud?
01:06Theo.
01:08I'm Lizzie.
01:10And, um, that's Violet.
01:13She's, like, the best paramedic that I've ever worked with.
01:17So if anyone can help your friend, it's her.
01:21So she's just gonna stop the bleeding, and we can just talk for a minute.
01:26Okay?
01:30Whew.
01:34My heart's going, like, a million miles an hour.
01:37How about you?
01:39Yeah.
01:40It's funny how feeling really scared and really excited feels so similar.
01:46That's why you were checking out that gun, huh?
01:50That feeling.
01:52The pulse is weak and fast.
01:54What does that mean?
01:55Yeah, he's gonna be okay. Just look at me.
01:58Hey, Theo, uh, have you ever been down in a syringe quarry?
02:04Did you know that people used to jump off the big rock into the water?
02:08It's all blocked off now, but this one time, my friends and I did it.
02:12The thing is, you have to walk way out on this limb to make sure you don't land in the shallow water.
02:18And, uh, it was...
02:20It was my turn, and I was out there, and I was holding on to this branch to keep my balance.
02:27And I was so terrified of falling in that I pulled down too hard on the branch, and it snapped.
02:36And I fell. Crazy.
02:39My fear of falling literally made me fall.
02:45That's what I'm worried about here.
02:48That you are so scared that you're gonna get in trouble, that you're gonna accidentally do something that will get you into way bigger trouble.
02:54But you're not there yet, Theo. I promise.
02:59You can still step back.
03:14It's okay. Hey, I got you.
03:24Yeah.
03:40Pulse is strong. Pressure's stable.
03:42Okay, did you hear that? He's gonna be okay.
03:54It's okay.
