Doug Ross goes for a job interview at a pediatric doctor's office.  He is surrounded by little kids, and he even scares two by telling them that he gives "big shots" to little girls who ask a lot of questions.  Mark tends to an elderly woman who has been smoking marijuana for her eye problem.  Jerry has a new computer and is showing it to Harper Tracey.  Carter is showing the new Physician Assistant, Jeanie Boulet around the ER.  He warns her about Dr. Benton.  A little girl named Molly Phillips has been hit by a car and is brought in to the ER.  She is unconscious and Peter, Harper and Carter work on her.  Peter asks Carter and Harper how she should be treated and Carter is unable to give him the correct answer, but Harper is.  Carter is still upset with her for sleeping with Doug Ross.  Doug accepts the job at the pediatric Doctor's office.  Dr. Morganstern comes down to check on the little girl.  He asks Peter about the patient and Jeanie Boulet is able to tell him more about her than Peter is.  Carter smiles as he looks on.  Doug arrives for his shift at the ER and is happy about his new 90 grand a year job.  Carol can sense that he is really upset, but he does not want to talk about it.  Harper stays with Molly to make sure she is comfortable.  Linda Farrell shows up with a tux and sees Jerry and the new computer.  Jerry has accidentally deleted Radiology and she tells him that she can help him with it.  She is there to remind Doug that they are going to a fund raiser costume party later that night.  Doug has forgotten about it and really doesn't want to go.  Jerry give Doug a marijuana cigarette that he got from the old lady with eye problems.  Peter is still upset with Jeanie because she showed him up in front of Morganstern, so he gives her a lot of charts to review.  Carol is playing "Doom II" on the computer against Mt. Sinai Hospital.  Molly's parents show up and go to see her.  Molly tells her daddy that she wants him to come back to live with them.  Doug is driving in the rain and is on his way to pick up Linda, when he gets a flat tire.  He is angry and he finds the joint that Jerry had given him on his way out of the ER.  As he is getting ready to light it with his car cigarette lighter, a boy bangs on his car window yelling for help.  The boy's name is Joey and his brother Ben is trapped in a water drain tunnel and his leg is stuck.  When Doug arrives to where Ben is, he is crying and yelling for Doug to help him.  Doug tries to calm him down by telling him that he use to build forts in the tunnels when he was a boy.  Doug tells Joey to go call 911.  Ben is really cold and Doug is worried about him getting hypothermia.  Doug tries to keep him awake by singing a song, "Take me out to the ballgame".  Doug tells Ben that he has to go and find some help.  Ben continues to sing the song as Doug leaves.  Doug rummages through his trunk and gets his tire jack and a flashlight.  Joey comes back and tells him that he couldn't find a phone.  Doug goes up to a building and breaks out the window and tells him to call 911 now.  Doug runs back to Ben and the water is rising toward the top of his  head.  Ben is starting to fall asleep and Doug yells at him.  He tells him that when they get out, that they will go to Wrigley Field to see a ball game.  Doug finally gets Ben's leg lose.  Just as his head is covered, Doug breaks the gate loose and they both come floating out of the drain.  Doug can't see Ben and so he dives in the water to get him.  We don't see them for a while, then Doug raises him up out of the water with a helicopter light shining down on them.  Doug performs C.P.R. on the boy until Joey and a police man arrives.  Back at the ER, Mark is playing Doom, or at least trying to.  Harper and Carter are still with Molly and Molly gives Harper a necklace that she had made at school.  Doug has to do a tracheotomy to clear the boy's airway.  He uses a Swiss Army knife and the policeman's pen to do the trach.  A news reporter is there and is the one in the helicopter.  An ambulance arrives, but it can only go to Mercy Hospital, which is further away than County.  Doug doesn't think that Ben will make it, so he makes a judgment call and he gets the news helicopter to take them to County.  The ER staff are watching it live on the television.  Mark gets the ER ready for their arrival.  As they are watching, Doug has the reporter turn off the camera.  He needs him to help with chest compressions.  Ben is still unconscious.  Morganstern calls the ER and speaks with Mark.  He is concerned and doesn't think much of Doug Ross at this time.  Mark tells him not to come in, that they have everything under control.  Carol and Mark meet Doug on the roof when the helicopter arrives.  They have to shock Ben's heart as soon as he exits the helicopter and clears the blades.  Molly has crashed and Peter, Carter and Harper frantically try to save her.  The news media are at the hospital when Doug and the boy arrives.  Doug feels bad for having the boy put on the helicopter, and thinks it may have been a mistake.  Ben's family arrives and Morganstern has arrived also.  Molly's mother returns and sees that Molly isn't doing well.  Harper has to remove her from the room, so that she doesn't see what is happening.  Molly has internal injuries and does not pull through.  Harper begins to cry and Carter has to tell Molly's parents the news.  Carol sees that Ben is waking up and she nods Doug to show him.  As Molly's parents are leaving, a news reporter comes up to them and ask them questions thinking that they are Ben's parents.  Carter tells them to turn off their cameras and leave.  Ben's parents thank Doug and Doug reminds Ben about their date to go to Wrigley Field.  Doug thanks Mark as Mark stitches him up.  Mark escorts Doug outside as the flashes of the cameras and lights are going off.
