| - (woeful cello music plays as a clergyman administers last rites to a brain dead young woman. her mother, and the medical technicians look-on) PRIEST: Through this holy Anointing, may the Lord, and his love and mercy, help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord, who frees you from sin save you and, in his goodness, raise you up. DOCTOR NEWELL: (to Maureen Donovan) Are you ready? (the somber mom nods yes. and the technician deactivates the electrical life support device. the breathing apparatus stops and the teenage patients vital signs flatline. the attending doctor checks her watch and declares to all) Time of death, 5:21 A.M. (to Maureen Donovan) We have a team assembled and waiting. Ms. Donovan, I'm afraid we need to begin the procedures right away. MAUREEN DONOVAN: (tearful) I love you. (kisses her daughters cheek) (quickly ushering the gurney with the dead teenager through the halls of the hospital) MALE TECH: We've gotta hurry up. Core temp's dropped. FEMALE TECH: Where's the list? MALE TECH: Yep. FEMALE TECH: Watch your back, sir. Get her to Harvest. (in the post-mortem operating room, preparing to harvest viable organs from the dead teenager) FEMALE TECH: We'll be able to coordinate that with the transplant team. NURSE: Great. Do we have a time frame? FEMALE TECH: Not yet. NURSE: Lean it over. DOCTOR HALPERIN: (after having cut into the lower anterior of the thoracic cavity) I am going to begin with the kidneys. The heart and lung block are going to come last... - - Clamping off the Renal Artery... now. NURSE: Yes, Doctor. DOCTOR HALPERIN: Alright, I've got the first one. NURSE: (as the dead young woman bolts up, and awake) Oh God! She's alive! DOCTOR HALPERIN: Get a trauma team in here! LISA DONOVAN: (shouting repeatedly) 6-8-3-3-9-alpha-echo-3-5-8!... ...6-8-3-3-9-alpha-echo-3-5-8!...
