00:009-1-1, what's your emergency?
00:02I need you to shut down Watson Road under the Howard Street Garage.
00:06Has there been an accident?
00:08No, not yet.
00:10Can you tell me your name?
00:12Isla.
00:14Hi, Isla. My name's Wyatt.
00:17I have to ask, are you thinking of hurting someone on Watson Road?
00:21No, that's why I'm calling. I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
00:24Anyone else?
00:26Isla, are you thinking about hurting yourself?
00:28I'm already hurting.
00:30Isla, I'm sorry you're in pain, but I'm really glad you called.
00:34I'm going to see about getting a road closer. Just hang on for me, okay?
00:38APD, rescue Fire 126. Respond immediately to Howard Street Garage over Watson.
00:42Possible jumper.
00:44Isla, I'm sending people to close the road.
00:47In the meantime, why don't you just tell me about what's going on?
00:50My life is over.
00:52Why do you say that?
00:54Retinitis pigmentosa. Congenital blindness.
00:58I just found out I've got it three weeks before finishing my residency as a pediatric neurosurgeon.
01:06I can't imagine what a shock that would be.
01:08The truth is my vision's been dimming for a while.
01:11I thought it was just eye strain.
01:14Not the lights turning out for good.
01:17But I'll be gone before that happens.
01:19Fire 126, you need to hurry. I'm losing her.
01:22Copy. We're almost on scene. We're going as fast as we can.
01:28Look, Isla, I know it's really hard right now,
01:30but I'm sure that there are a lot of people who would be devastated if anything were to happen to you.
01:34No, there aren't.
01:36Because I've sacrificed every relationship in my life for this dream.
01:40To help kids.
01:42And now that's gone.
01:44Look, Wyatt, you seem sweet, and I'm really sorry to do this to you, but there's just no point.
01:49Wait! Can I tell you a quick story?
01:51A story?
01:53About somebody who went through something just like you are.
01:55I know what you're doing. You're stalling.
01:58Just listen to me, please.
02:00Isla, I had a dream to help people, just like you.
02:04Isla, that was ripped away from me, too.
02:08I didn't think I could go on.
02:11There were days where I was thinking about doing exactly what you're thinking about doing.
02:16Isla, I know right now you can't imagine anything else for yourself,
02:20but I promise you, I promise that if you stick it out, you can transform all that love
02:27and all that struggle into something new.
02:32So please, don't jump.
02:39Okay.
02:41Okay?
02:43Okay, I'm getting down.
02:46Ow!
02:48Isla?
02:54Isla, what's happening?
02:56Isla?
02:58Help me!
03:00Someone help!
03:02Someone help!
03:04I got you. Don't let go.
03:06I got you. Come here.
03:10Hey, 1-2-6 on scene. She's safe.
03:13Thank God.
03:15All right, can you put her on?
03:17Yeah. Hey, let's talk to you.
03:23Hi, Wyatt.
03:25Your story isn't over, Isla.
03:29This is just the beginning.
03:43You
