[SIREN WAILING]

I’M NOT EVEN LETTING YOU IN THE HOUSE.

WHY NOT?

[COUGHS]

THAT’S WHY NOT.

AH, THINK OF ALL MY EXPERIENCE.

I’M THINKING OF ANTISEPSIS.

BESIDES, YOU’VE ALREADY BEEN A GODFATHER TWICE.

THREE TIMES. YOU FORGET THE ONE I DELIVERED AT THE HOSPITAL.

YOU’VE STILL GOT A COLD, AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T, IT’S MY TURN.

I’VE GOTTA START SOMETIME.

OKAY. IT’S YOUR TURN,

IF THE MOTHER DOESN’T DECIDE TO START WITHOUT US.

John: THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE HOUSE.

[KNOCKING]

CAN’T SEEM TO GET INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Sheriff: LET’S TAKE A LOOK.

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

Roy: HEY, HERE SHE IS.

SHE’S IN THE LIVING ROOM.

YOU CHECK THE WINDOWS. I’LL TRY THE BACK DOOR.

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

NO LUCK.

WATCH YOUR EYES.

[WOMAN MOANING]

HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

[GROANING]

THAT’S RIGHT, RELAX.

WE’RE GONNA TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU.

MY HUSBAND’S COMING TO TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

I DON’T THINK THERE’S GOING TO BE ENOUGH TIME.

I THINK THE HEAD’S BEGUN TO PRESS ON THE PERINEAL FLOOR.

SHE’S ALREADY BEGUN REFLEX CONTRACTION.

I DON’T THINK WE’D BETTER MOVE HER.

YOU’RE THE DOCTOR. GO AND WASH UP.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]

HEY, WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?

YOUR WIFE’S ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY.

I KNOW THAT. BUT WHO CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?

AND WHO BUSTED MY WINDOW? WHERE’S MY WIFE?

YOUR WIFE’S IN HERE. SHE’S BEING WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

OH, YEAH, I’D JUST AS SOON WAIT FOR MY DOCTOR.

IS HE ON THE WAY?

HE WASN’T AVAILABLE. HE’LL--HE’LL GET HERE.

I LEFT A MESSAGE. THEY’LL FIND HIM.

HE SAID THERE’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

UNTIL THE PAINS GOT CLOSER TOGETHER.

THEY’RE CONTINUOUS NOW.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS YOU’RE ABOUT TO BARGE INTO A DELIVERY ROOM.

YOU WOULDN’T WANT HER TO GIVE BIRTH IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE.

[JUDY GROANING]

YOU GUYS SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING?

JUDY’S FIRST BABY WAS STILLBORN.

LET’S MAKE SURE THIS ONE ISN’T.

Husband: YEAH, BUT--

Sheriff: RELAX. THESE ARE RESCUE FIREMEN.

THEY’RE TRAINED FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL WORK.

THEY’LL DO JUST FINE. HOW’S SHE DOING?

[MOANS]

CAN’T YOU GIVE HER SOMETHING?

John: IT’S TOO LATE. ANY ANALGESIC

WOULD FILTER DOWN TO THE BABY’S BLOODSTREAM.

DEPRESS HIS BREATHING. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!

THE FIRST THING, MR. MUNDELL, WE HAVE TO DO IS KEEP CALM.

NOW, GO GET SOME BLANKETS.

YEAH, BUT LOOK AT HER!

PLEASE!

HOW’S IT GOING?

CRAMPS, BIG ONES.

THAT’S THE BABY’S HEAD PRESSING ON A NERVE.

HERE, STRAIGHTEN OUT.

FEELS LIKE HE WANTS OUT.

HE DOES.

KEEP HIM ALIVE, PLEASE.

I’LL CONTACT BASE IN CASE WE NEED THEM.

RAMPART BASE, THIS IS RESCUE 51.

RAMPART BASE, THIS IS RESCUE 51.

RAMPART BASE. GO AHEAD, 51.

WE HAVE A PRECIPITATE DELIVERY,

A MRS. ROGER MUNDELL.

STAGE 2 LABOR UNDER WAY.

PROGRESSING NORMALLY. BABY IS FULL TERM.

NO COMPLICATIONS ANTICIPATED.

HOWEVER, FIRST CHILD WAS STILLBORN.

NO INFORMATION ON CAUSE.

WE’D LIKE YOU TO STAND BY.

10-4, 51, STANDING BY.

OH, MISS JACOBS,

SEE IF YOU CAN TRACK DOWN A FILE ON MRS. ROGER MUNDELL.

LOCATE HER DOCTOR. YES, MISS MCCALL.

PUT THIS ON IN CASE I NEED YOU UP CLOSE.

OH, ROGER, YOU DON’T WANT TO START THAT AGAIN.

[JUDY GROANS, PANTING]

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. YOU’VE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET HER TO THE HOSPITAL.

HONEY, TAKE IT EASY.

IT’S UP TO NATURE AND THE FIREMEN.

[GROANS]

HELP ME.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, ON THE NEXT CONTRACTION

I WANT YOU TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH

AND PUSH VERY HARD. ALL RIGHT?

OKAY.

Dixie: RESCUE 51.

WHAT’S YOUR STATUS?

BABY’S ON ITS WAY. APPARENTLY ROUTINE DELIVERY.

ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT WENT WRONG THE FIRST TIME?

AFFIRMATIVE.

THE RECORD SHOWS ASPHYXIATION ATTRIBUTED

TO ANOXIA CAUSED BY PROLAPSED UMBILICAL.

DO YOU ANTICIPATE A REPEAT?

NEGATIVE, RAMPART.

10-4. KEEP US ADVISED, 51.

51.

[JUDY GROANING]

ALL RIGHT, NOW TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND PUSH AGAIN.

[GROANING]

ALL RIGHT, YOU’RE DOING GREAT.

NOW PUSH AGAIN.

YOU’RE DOING REAL FINE.

[BABY WAILING]

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HIS COLOR?

WHY ISN’T HE MOVING? IS HE--

HE’S VERY MUCH ALIVE, MR. MUNDELL. RELAX.

GET RAMPART AGAIN.

RAMPART, BIRTH IS COMPLETED BUT WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

GO AHEAD, 51.

THE BABY IS CYANOTIC.

BREATHING NORMALLY, BUT WEAK.

VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT.

VERY LOW ON THE APGAR SCALE, ESTIMATE 3.

Dixie: WHAT’S THE MOTHER’S RH FACTOR?

NEGATIVE.

HUSBAND SAYS NEGATIVE.

HAS SHE EVER HAD A BLOOD TRANSFUSION?

TWICE. WHAT’S HAPPENING?

AFFIRMATIVE.

51, ADVISE YOU BRING THEM IN, CODE R.

THE BABY MIGHT NEED AN EXCHANGE TRANSFUSION.

BE SURE TO GET BLOOD SAMPLES.

I’LL HAVE THE LAB AND DR. BRACKETT STANDING BY.

51.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

WHAT IS AN EXCHANGE TRANSFUSION?

IT’S NOTHING BIG.

SOMETIMES ANTIBODIES FROM THE MOTHER

GET TO CHEWING ON THE LITTLE GUY’S BLOOD CELLS.

IT’S EASY TO FIX.

IT’S A BOY.

AMBULANCE IS HERE. HOW DID YOU MAKE OUT?

OKAY.

CONGRATULATIONS, MA’AM.

Judy: WHERE HAVE YOU GOT HIM?

RIGHT HERE.

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

WHY IS HE SO PALE?

WHAT’S WRONG WITH HIM?

IT’S ALL RIGHT, JUDY.

ALL HE NEEDS IS A LITTLE RED BLOOD.

THE HOSPITAL IS SET UP AND WAITING FOR US.

ROGER, WHAT’S WRONG?

OH, NO.

I DON’T WANT TO LOSE HIM.

[SOBBING]

[SIREN WAILING]

Brackett: 51, THIS IS RAMPART.

GO AHEAD, RAMPART, THIS IS 51.

ANY SIGNS OF ANEMIA?

AFFIRMATIVE.

WHAT ABOUT EDEMA OR CYANOSIS?

AFFIRMATIVE.

10-4, 51, WE’LL BE STANDING BY.

10-4.

HOSPITAL’S ALL SET UP, JUDY.

THEY’LL FIX HIM UP JUST LIKE NEW.

[SOBBING] I’LL DIE IF YOU DON’T.

GAGE DID A GOOD JOB.

GOOD MAN.

NO SIGN OF SHOCK.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON HIM, THOUGH. HE HASN’T MOVED HIS HEAD SINCE WE STARTED.

RESPIRATION’S NORMAL.

YOU HAD TIME TO CHECK ON THE MOTHER?

SHE’S WORRIED, BUT OKAY.

HEY, WAIT. WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

LOOK, DON’T GIVE ME ANY RED TAPE.

I’VE GOT A RIGHT TO KNOW. WHERE HAVE YOU GOT MY WIFE?

IN A QUIET PLACE.

WELL, HOW ABOUT THE BABY?

WELL, WHO’S IN THERE WITH MY SON?

WHERE’S MY OWN DOCTOR?

I DEMAND TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON.

MR. MUNDELL, LOOK, WE’RE ON YOUR SIDE.

NOW THERE’S NOTHING THAT’S BEING DONE

THAT ISN’T DIRECTED AT KEEPING YOUR WIFE

AND YOUR BABY ALIVE, HAPPY, AND WELL.

NOW JUST PLEASE, RELAX, OKAY?

WELL, IT’S JUST THAT I--

JUST THAT YOU’RE SCARED,

FOR YOUR WIFE AND YOUR CHILD. WE UNDERSTAND.

COME ON, WE’LL BUY YOU A COFFEE.

NURSE, WATCH THE PULSE CAREFULLY

AND OBSERVE FOR SIGNS OF SHOCK.

WELL, JOHNNY, HOW’S IT FEEL TO BE A MIDWIFE?

LIKE BEING SHOT. HOW’S THE BABY?

IN GREAT SHAPE, THANKS TO YOU.

HOW’S THE FATHER?

CALLING THE GRANDPARENTS.

WE GOT HIM CALMED DOWN A LITTLE.

WERE YOU NERVOUS?

NERVOUS AND 10-FEET TALL AT THE SAME TIME.

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH HIM? HIS COLD?

NO, HIS REPUTATION AS A CHEF.

THE STATION’S BEEN DOWN ON HIM FOR WEEKS.

THEY ALL THREATENED TO BID OUT ON HIM

WHEN IT’S HIS TURN TO COOK.

AND IT’S HIS TURN TO COOK TODAY.

HE’S BEEN PLANNING IT IN HIS SLEEP.

I’M WORKING ON A MEAL YOU GUYS ARE NEVER GONNA FORGET.

THAT’S FOR SURE.

WHAT ARE YOU HAVING, ROY?

BEEF BOURGUIGNON.

BEEF WHO?

BOURGUIGNON. FRENCH.

I HOPE YOU COOK IT BETTER THAN YOU SAY IT.

I’M SURE IT’LL BE DELICIOUS, ROY.

YOU WANT TO COME OVER AND TRY SOME?

WISH I COULD. BUT I GOTTA WORK TONIGHT.

YOU WANNA TRADE PLACES?

HEY, PARTNER, HOW ABOUT A LITTLE LOYALTY?

HOW ABOUT LETTING ME COOK?

BEEF BOURGUIGNON SOUNDS GREAT, ROY.

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT?

I’VE GOT A GREAT RECIPE. YOU WANNA TRY IT?

Dixie: SURE.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU, A MASS KILLER?

COME ON, WE’VE GOT TO PICK UP SOME SUPPLIES.

GOOD LUCK.

IT’S REALLY STUCK.

I DON’T NEED A DOCTOR TO TELL ME THAT.

THERE’S SOMETHING WE COULD TRY. OH.

WE COULD PUT THE VASE IN HOT WATER TO EXPAND IT.

WE COULD, OVER MY DEAD BODY.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT’S WORTH TO ME?

THE LITTLE BOY’S HAND?

THANKS, DIX.

OF IT WERE A BEER BOTTLE, WE COULD SIMPLY BREAK IT.

MY SON WOULDN’T STICK HIS ARM IN A BEER BOTTLE.

OF COURSE NOT.

THIS IS A LOT OLDER THAN A BEER BOTTLE.

420 YEARS, TO BE PRECISE.

LET ME THINK.

THINK VERY HARD, WILL YOU, DOCTOR?

THAT’S ONE EXPENSIVE VASE.

IT’S EASIER TO REPLACE THAN THE BOY’S HAND.

DON’T MOVE, SON. I’LL BE RIGHT BACK.

[SIGHS]

OH, NURSE, WOULD YOU BRING ME SOME ICE CUBES, PLEASE?

RIGHT AWAY, DOCTOR.

WHERE WILL I FIND THEM?

NEAREST PLACE IS THE KITCHEN.

THEY USUALLY HAVE IT IN THERE, YOU KNOW.

HOLD IT.

WHAT’S THE BIG RUSH?

DR. EARLY ASKED ME

TO BRING HIM SOME ICE IN TREATMENT 5.

ICE.

WELL, TAKE IT TO HIM THEN.

BUT WALK. DO NOT RUN.

IN THIS HOSPITAL WE DO NOT RUN, EVER. GOT IT?

YES, MISS MCCALL.

DON’T WORRY, DAVID.

DOES HE LOOK WORRIED?

WHY SHOULD HE WORRY?

HE DOESN’T KNOW MING FROM CHING.

NEITHER DO I.

HERE YOU ARE, DOCTOR. THANK YOU.

VASAL CONSTRICTION.

THERE. THAT SHOULD SHRINK IT A LITTLE BIT.

WE’LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

DOCTOR, THAT ICE IS TOUCHING MY VASE.

CAN’T HELP THAT, MA’AM.

IT WON’T CRACK IT, WILL IT?

IT BETTER NOT CRACK IT.

IF IT CRACKS IT, I-I’LL SUE THE HOSPITAL.

REST ASSURED, I’LL SUE.

THAT--THAT VASE IS MY MOST IRREPLACEABLE POSSESSION.

NO KIDDING? NO KIDDING.

THE HEAD CAME FIRST, NATURALLY.

LOOKED A BIT LIKE...

WELL, IT DIDN’T LOOK RIGHT. A BIT SCARY.

OF COURSE, I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.

WHAT WAS IT?

ANYBODY WOULD RECOGNIZE IT IN A MINUTE.

THEY WOULD?

OF COURSE MAYBE YOU TWO NEVER RAN ACROSS IT.

TRY US.

ERYTHRO...

E-- ER-- UH...

"ERYTHROBLASTOSIS FETALIS."

HEY, HOW MANY BABIES HAVE YOU DELIVERED?

TIME’S UP.

OH, GOTTA GO.

ONE.

[GIGGLING]

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING FOR SUPPER?

Roy: COME ON, ROMEO.

I HONESTLY DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M GOING TO DO WITH YOU.

IF YOU EVER LAY HANDS ON THAT VASE AGAIN,

YOU’RE GOING TO BE INTO A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE.

WELL, HOW IS IT GOING, GUYS?

NOT SO GOOD.

YOU WANT TO REPORT A FIRE?

DID YOU START ONE?

IF WE DID, WE WOULDN’T TELL YOU.

YEAH, THAT’S TRUE.

WE LOST SOMETHING.

OKAY, WHAT?

A KEY.

TO MY HANDCUFFS.

AND HE’S WEARING THEM? WELL, WHERE IS THE KEY?

MY SISTER’S GOT IT.

AND SHE WON’T GIVE ’EM BACK.

SHE CAN’T. SHE THREW IT DOWN A SEWER. GIRLS!

YEAH.

WELL...

LOOKS LIKE I BETTER GET THE K-12.

WILL IT HURT?

A BIT, BUT YOU’RE TOUGH, AREN’T YOU?

YEAH.

John: HEY, WHERE YOU GUYS GOING?

WE’LL TRY THE POLICE STATION.

WELL, THEY’LL PROBABLY USE THE WOOFLE SPRING ON YOU.

WHAT’S A WOOFLE SPRING?

WELL, IT’S THE THING THAT OPERATES A RELTNY.

IT HAS A BIG RATCHET ON IT, LIKE A CRABITZ.

IT’S GREAT FOR TAKING OFF STUCK HANDCUFFS,

BUT OF COURSE, IT MAKES A LOT OF NOISE.

NOW ON THE OTHER HAND,

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THEM OFF

WITH A STETSO-HYDRAULIC ACTIVATOR.

WHAT’S THAT?

A PAIR OF PLIERS.

HONEST?

HONEST.

THANKS, MISTER.

SHORT TOUR.

WASN’T A TOUR. THAT WAS A GENUINE RESCUE.

[ALARM RINGING]

Dispatcher: SQUAD 51,

AN INJURY IN THE ALLEY BEHIND 11234 SOUTH WILLIS.

11234 SOUTH WILLIS.

CROSS STREET: 112TH. TIME OUT: 11:33.

[SIREN WAILING]

COME ON. HURRY IT UP, MAN.

LET’S SLOW DOWN, FELLOW.

FAST, MAN. MY BROTHER’S DYING.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT HAPPENED?

FIGHT. THE DUMB KID’S HAD A FIGHT.

COME ON, HE’S OUT COLD.

YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

WHERE IS HE? INSIDE.

COME ON. HE JUST ZAPPED OUT, THAT’S ALL.

HE LOOKS DEAD.

NOTHING.

HE’S NOT BREATHING, EITHER.

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

10, 11, 12,

13, 14, 15.

FULL ON.

400? YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

TRYING TO START HIS HEART MOVING,

IF YOU’LL GET BACK.

[OSCILLOSCOPE BEEPING]

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

PIN POINTS. IS HE ON DRUGS?

HUH, DRUGS?

YEAH, DRUGS. WHAT’S HE ON?

Brother: MAN, I DON’T KNOW!

LISTEN, WE’RE TRYING TO SAVE YOUR BROTHER’S LIFE.

ONE WAY TO DO IT IS TO HELP HIM WITH DRUGS.

WE GIVE HIM SOMETHING WHEN HE’S HAD TOO MUCH,

WE’RE LIABLE TO KILL HIM. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

HEY, I DON’T KNOW HIS THING.

HE WAS IN THIS FIGHT IN THE ALLEY.

I HEAR ’EM, I WENT OUT THERE.

EVERYBODY SPLITS EXCEPT SAM.

HE’S OUT COLD ON THE GROUND,

BLEEDING, AND THAT’S ALL I KNOW.

John: HOW OLD IS HE?

16.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A 16-YEAR-OLD KID

HAVING A HEART ATTACK?

LOOK. CHANCES ARE THE DRUGS SLOWED DOWN HIS FUNCTIONS.

THAT PLUS THE BLOW ON HIS HEAD KNOCKED HIS HEART.

WHERE’S YOUR PARENTS?

DEAD.

THERE’S JUST HIM AND ME. I’M HIS GUARDIAN.

RAMPART BASE. RESCUE 51.

RAMPART, RESCUE 51.

51, THIS IS RAMPART, GO AHEAD.

WE HAVE A HEART CASE.

16-YEAR-OLD MALE, BEEN IN A FIGHT.

ORAL AND NASAL BLEEDING. PROBABLY ON DRUGS.

WE HAD V-FIB. WE DEFIBRILLATED ONCE.

HE CAME BACK WITH A SINUS BRADYCARDIA OF 30

WHICH INCREASED LATER TO 60.

BP IS 110 OVER 80.

LABORED BREATHING.

CONFIRM, 51. PATIENT IS 16-YEARS-OLD?

THAT’S AFFIRMATIVE.

SUSPECT AN OD, BUT NO EVIDENCE.

51, TRANSMIT HIS EKG.

10-4.

WHAT’S HIS TRIP, HOOPER?

YOU WORKING FOR HIM?

EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL?

PRETTY NEAR.

ARE YOU RELATED TO HIM?

COULD I GET SOME INFORMATION FROM YOU?

HIS NAME, AGE, AND ADDRESS, AND SUCH.

I’LL SET UP ROOM 3.

51, YOU CAN START AN IV.

500 CCS, D5W.

ALSO ADVISE YOU PLACE PATIENT

ON HIS SIDE TO FACILITATE DRAINAGE.

KEEP MONITORING HIS VITAL SIGNS

AND PATCH HIM IN FOR US WHEN YOU GET TIME.

10-4, 51.

Sheriff: OKAY, BREAK IT UP. BREAK IT UP.

COME ON, GIVE THEM A LITTLE ROOM IN HERE.

MOVE OUT.

COME ON, CAREFUL, MAN.

HOW LONG WAS HIS HEART STOPPED?

DON’T KNOW.

WHAT ARE HIS CHANCES?

WE’LL CHECK IT OUT.

MAIN THING IS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.

WISH HIM LUCK.

COME ON, JOHNNY. LET’S GO.

WHAT ABOUT HIS BRAIN, DOCTOR?

TOO EARLY TO TELL.

Woman: DR. CANTOR. TREATMENT ROOM 4.

WELL, JOHNNY, YOU HAD A GOOD DAY.

YOU STARTED 2 HEARTS, A NEW ONE AND A USED ONE.

I’M GOING TO REWARD YOU WITH THE BEST-TASTING DINNER YOU’VE EVER HAD.

I’D RATHER HAVE A HAMBURGER.

HEY. WHAT?

LET’S GO VISIT AN OLD FRIEND.

DR. THOMPSON, EMERGENCY AREA.

HI.

HELLO. COME IN.

WE WERE JUST WONDERING--

OH, I’M JUST FINE, THANKS TO YOU.

HOW’S YOUR SON?

THEY JUST BROUGHT HIM UP TO SHOW ME.

HE’S ALL PINK AND HANDSOME,

JUST LIKE YOU PROMISED.

Roger: JUDY...

OH.

WELL, GENTLEMEN, I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY

FOR MY BEHAVIOR THIS MORNING.

IT WAS LOUSY. NO EXCUSE FOR IT, REALLY.

THERE WAS, TOO.

ROGER’S COMPANY IS GOING THROUGH A BIG MERGER.

IT’S KIND OF HARD ON THE DISPOSITION.

JUDY, THERE’S NO NEED TO GO INTO THAT--

YES, THERE IS.

MR. GAGE SAVED OUR BABY’S LIFE.

HE DESERVES AN EXPLANATION.

WELL, I GUESS WE BETTER GET BACK TO WORK.

COME BACK SOON.

HI, PAPA. [LAUGHS]

IF WE HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY APOLOGY--

YEAH, I KNOW.

WE’D BE ABLE TO HIRE A REAL COOK.

ROY SWEARS IT’S A GREAT RECIPE.

HAVE I EVER MADE YOU ANYTHING YOU DIDN’T JUST LOVE?

YOU’RE WORSE THAN JOHNNY, NO CONFIDENCE.

Roy: HOW’S THE HOOPER KID?

TOO EARLY TO TELL.

I HEAR YOU’RE ON DECK FOR BEEF BOURGUIGNON, TOO.

UH-HUH.

ANOTHER LUCKY MAN.

COME ON, PARTNER, I’VE GOT MY SHOPPING TO DO.

DR. ABNER, WANTED IN SURGERY.

DR. ABNER, WANTED IN SURGERY.

THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MEDIC AND A PARAMEDIC.

WHAT?

HAVING DIXIE FIX BEEF BOURGUIGNON

AND HAVING YOU FIX IT.

SLUGGISH.

EVEN MORE SO. DIFFERENT TIME REACTION.

COULD BE SEVERE CONCUSSION.

COULD BE.

WE STILL DON’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THAT FIGHT HE WAS IN.

I’LL GO SEE IF HIS X-RAYS ARE READY.

ONCE WE GET HIS HEART STABILIZED,

WE CAN EXAMINE HIM BETTER.

I’LL LET YOU KNOW IF THERE’S ANY CHANGE.

OKAY.

HOW IS HE?

A CNS PROBLEM, ALL RIGHT,

AND NO WAY TO DETERMINE ITS EXTENT.

ANYTHING HAPPENING OUT THERE?

JUST GOT AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

SHE’S ALL RIGHT.

LOST SOME BLOOD, THAT’S ALL.

HE COULD CLEAR UP QUICKLY, DIX.

I HOPE SO.

JOHNNY’S GONNA FEEL VERY BADLY

IF HE DOESN’T MAKE IT.

OKAY, WHAT’S THE STORY?

WHAT ARE YOU GATHERED AROUND LIKE VULTURES FOR?

WHAT’S THE MATTER?

THERE’S NOTHING THE MATTER FOR SURE, JAY.

THERE’S A POSSIBILITY

HIS BRAIN’S BEEN WITHOUT OXYGEN FOR TOO LONG.

SO WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

POSSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE. POSSIBLE.

Dixie: RELAX, JAY.

THERE’S EVERY CHANCE YOUR BROTHER WILL RECOVER COMPLETELY.

YEAH, SURE.

IT COULD TAKE A LITTLE TIME, THAT’S ALL.

YEAH, THAT’S ALL.

A LITTLE TIME. ALL WE NEED IS A LITTLE TIME

TO MAKE SURE HE’S A VEGETABLE. RIGHT?

AND THEN WE BUNDLE HIM UP, AND WE SIT HIM IN A CHAIR,

IF HE CAN SIT IN A CHAIR,

NEAR THE WINDOW,

SO HE CAN WATCH THE WORLD GO BY.

THAT IS, IF HE CAN TELL WHAT HE’S LOOKING AT.

HE MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD.

COME ON, I’LL BUY YOU A CUP OF COFFEE.

LOOK, IT ISN’T YOUR FAULT.

YEAH, NOT MY FAULT!

Jay: WELL, WHO TURNED HIM ON?

HE’S GONE INTO V-FIB. WHAT’S WRONG?

400 WATT SECONDS. DIX, GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

Jay: I SAID, WHAT’S WRONG?

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL?

DON’T TOUCH MY BROTHER.

DON’T ANYBODY TOUCH MY BROTHER.

AND DON’T ANYBODY TOUCH ME, EITHER.

YOU’RE GONNA KILL HIM.

NO, GOD’S DOING THAT.

WE JUST GOT TO HANG TIGHT.

DO YOU REALLY WANT HIM TO DIE?

I DON’T WANT TO SEE MY KID BROTHER IN A BASKET.

HE’S BACK.

NOT SO IT MATTERS.

STRAIGHTEN UP.

YOU’RE HIS GUARDIAN, REMEMBER?

YEAH, I’M SOME GUARDIAN.

GUARDIAN OF A VEGETABLE.

Woman: DR. MENDEZ, RECEIVING ROOM.

THAT OFFER FOR COFFEE’S STILL OPEN.

YOU KNOW, YOU’RE REAL-- YOU’RE REAL GENEROUS.

I GIVE YOU A GUINEA PIG,

AND YOU GIVE ME A CUP OF COFFEE.

RIGHT ON.

JAY...

YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT IN THERE.

WE’RE FACED WITH THAT DECISION ALL TOO OFTEN.

BUT YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE,

ESPECIALLY IN YOUR BROTHER’S CASE.

IT’S TOO SOON.

WHEN YOU CAN’T BE SURE,

YOU CAN’T HANG TIGHT WHEN A HEART STOPS.

DR. CAMPBELL, OUTSIDE CALL, PLEASE.

MUSHROOMS. MUSHROOMS. LET’S SEE...

NEXT RIGHT.

C SHIFT BUYS FRESH ONES.

SURE WISH I WAS ON THE C SHIFT.

EVERYONE ON C SHIFT IS 10 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT.

THOSE GUYS ARE REALLY LUCKY.

CHARLIE WILSON MOONLIGHTS AS SECOND CHEF AT LA PAVILLION.

YOU WANT TO WORK ON C SHIFT?

I’LL ARRANGE IT.

BY SUPPERTIME?

YOU KNOW, ONE OF YOUR EYES IS BLUER THAN THE OTHER.

WHICH ONE?

THAT ONE.

IT’S GLASS. THAT WAY I ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT HALF OF YOU.

John: WOULD YOU RATHER WE NOT SHOP HERE ANYMORE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE"? I LIKE YOUR FRIEND.

YEAH, YOU AND HIS WIFE.

Woman: THANK GOODNESS, YOU’RE HERE.

PLEASE HURRY, IT’S MY HUSBAND.

PLEASE HURRY.

EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, MA’AM?

OH, IT WAS WORSE THAN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.

MUST HAVE BEEN A MILLION VOLTS.

SPARKS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

RUINED MY ELECTRIC WASHER.

PLEASE FOLLOW ME.

Roy: YOU CUT THE POWER?

NO, I DIDN’T THINK OF IT.

WHERE’S THE BOX? IN THE GARAGE.

I’LL GET IT. HE’S RIGHT THERE.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, STAND HERE WATCHING HIM?

HOW LONG AGO DID THIS HAPPEN?

I CALLED IN RIGHT AWAY.

IS THAT ALL YOU’RE GONNA DO?

LISTEN, MA’AM, PLEASE TRY TO BE CALM.

HOW EXACTLY, WITH STANLEY LYING THERE

WITH ALL THAT ELECTRICITY WRAPPED AROUND HIM?

John: ALL RIGHT, POWER’S OFF.

BLOOD PRESSURE’S GOT TO BE OFF THE PAGE.

BETTER CONTACT BASE FAST.

RAMPART BASE, THIS IS RESCUE 51.

HOW DO YOU READ?

GO AHEAD, 51.

RAMPART, WE HAVE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK VICTIM,

40-YEAR-OLD MALE. LOOKS LIKE 220 VOLTS.

HIS EKG IS SHOWING VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIA.

SOME PVCS.

GET DR. BRACKETT, FAST.

51, WHAT ARE THE VITALS?

PULSE 40 AND STRENGTHENING.

RESPIRATION SLOW AND SHALLOW.

WE’VE STOPPED CPR.

ANY HISTORY OF HEART TROUBLE?

NEGATIVE.

LET’S HAVE A LOOK, 51.

[BEEPING]

MORE PVCS. HE IS THROWING THEM LIKE CRAZY.

THEY ARE MULTI-FOCAL.

SO LONG AS HE DOESN’T GO INTO V-FIB,

WE’RE ALL RIGHT.

51, THIS IS RAMPART. START AN IV WITH D5W

PLUS METARAMINOL, 100 MGS AND 500 CCS.

10-4.

WE BETTER SET UP IN 2 FOR HIM.

SOUNDS TERRIBLE.

HE’S ALIVE.

LOOK AT HIS HANDS.

Roy: THEY’RE NOT HURTING HIM NOW, MA’AM.

[SIREN WAILING]

BETTER BUNDLE HIM UP. I’LL GET THE BLANKETS.

YOU GUYS DO GET AROUND, DON’T YOU?

YEAH, DON’T WE ALL?

ARE YOU THE MISSIS? HMM-MMM.

CAN I ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS?

YES, BUT-- Roy: HE’S OKAY.

RAMPART, 51.

BLOOD PRESSURE IS VERY LOW, 60 OVER 20.

Brackett: 10-4, 51.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

HE’LL SOON BE READY TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL, MA’AM.

HE’S SO PALE.

YOU CAN’T JUDGE FROM THE OUTSIDE.

HE’S CHUGGING AWAY ON ALL CYLINDERS.

THAT’LL BE A DEPARTURE, HE NEVER DID BEFORE.

Woman: DR. ALLEN, 63.

DR. ALLEN, 63.

YOU’RE YOUNGER.

YOU’RE PRETTIER.

TREATMENT 1.

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEMSELVES.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU’RE GETTING DONE IN.

I’M NOT, BUT MY BEEF BOURGUIGNON IS.

THE ENGINE CREW WILL HAVE PICKED UP YOUR GROCERIES FOR YOU.

THERE’S ONLY ONE FIREMAN IN THIS COUNTY

THAT KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH THEM.

YEAH, CHARLIE WILSON OF C SHIFT.

WONDER IF HE’LL COME IN IF WE PAY HIM.

YOU’RE A REAL COMEDIAN, AREN’T YOU?

DR. EARLY, 363.

I THINK THIS WHOLE DAY HAS BEEN PLANNED LIKE THIS

TO WORK UP AN APPETITE.

GOT TO BE HUNGRY ENOUGH TO EAT A HORSE.

YOU EAT A HORSE, IF YOU WANT.

HOW’S HE DOING?

NOT SO BAD, WHEN YOU FIGURE HE’S BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING.

DR. BRACKETT’S IN THERE NOW.

HEART’S COMING BACK TO NORMAL,

BUT HE’S VERGING ON SHOCK.

YOU GOT HIM IN GOOD TIME.

HOW’S THE HOOPER KID?

STILL IN A COMA,

BUT HIS REACTIONS HAVE BEGUN TO IMPROVE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK HE’S GONNA BE

A VERY GRATEFUL BOY WHEN HE WAKES UP.

COME ON, DR. KILDARE.

I GUESS WE CAN’T STALL ON ANY LONGER.

ENJOY YOUR DINNER.

[GROANS]

HERE.

ABOUT TIME,

WE’RE GETTING READY TO CALL IN CHARLIE WILSON.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE.

YOU’D JUST DO YOURSELVES

OUT OF THE BEST SUPPER 51’S EVER HAD.

WHERE’D HE GET ALL THAT CONFIDENCE?

DON’T TELL ANYBODY,

BUT HE’S BEEN PRACTICING THAT DISH

AT HOME FOR A WEEK ON HIS WIFE.

ONLY A WEEK?

HOW COME THIS STATION DOESN’T HAVE ANY ROSEMARY?

WHO’S ROSEMARY?

IT’S GOT TO BE THE GIRL

THAT’S GONNA TEACH HIM HOW TO BOIL WATER.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

WHAT CAN I SAY?

WELL, YOU MIGHT TRY ASKING, "ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?"

ANY QUESTIONS?

UH, YEAH. MAY I LEAVE THE TABLE?

WHAT FOR?

WELL, SOMEBODY’S GOT TO GET THE STOMACH PUMP READY.

[ALARM BUZZING]

Dispatcher: ENGINE 51, ENGINE 111.

OH, NO.

NOW HOW CAN I PROVE ANYTHING?

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

THIS IS GOOD.

IT IS GOOD, ISN’T IT?

YEAH.

NOW HOW WILL THEY KNOW?

MAYBE IT’S JUST AS GOOD COLD.

I GOT IT. ALREADY?

I’LL GET SOMETHING FOR IT-- NO, I MEAN,

I KNOW HOW TO PROVE IT TO THEM. HOW?

SIMPLE. YOU LIKE IT, DON’T YOU?

YEAH.

YOU SIGN AN AFFIDAVIT.

YOU SWEAR UNDER OATH HOW GOOD IT IS...

THEN THEY’LL BELIEVE ME.

OKAY.

FOR A FEE.

NEXT TIME I GET STUCK, YOU DO THE DISHES FOR ME.

YOU’RE ALL HEART.

DEAL?

DEAL.

SURE HOPE WE MISSED DINNER.

HEY, DON’T TALK LIKE THAT.

YOU GUYS MISSED SOMETHING YOU MAY NEVER GET AGAIN.

BEST CHOW WE’VE HAD AROUND HERE IN MONTHS.

GO ON, JOHNNY, TELL ’EM.

GAGE.

[ALARM RINGING]

NOT AGAIN!

Dispatcher: SQUAD 51 WITH ENGINE 68.

MAN TRAPPED ON TOP OF A CRANE AT NEW CONSTRUCTION.

WINLOW AND LASCELLES.

WINLOW AND LASCELLES. TIME OUT 18:55.

[SIREN WAILING]

WHERE IS HE?

[SIREN WAILING]

WHAT’S THE STORY?

WELL, IT STARTED OUT AS A SUICIDE AT FIRST.

WENT UP TO TALK TO HIM.

HE TOLD US HE CHANGED HIS MIND.

JUST AS SOON STAY ALIVE.

SAID HE’D LIKE TO COME DOWN, IF IT’S ALL RIGHT WITH US.

MY PARTNER’S STILL UP THERE TRYING TO TALK HIM IN.

TROUBLE IS, NOW HE’S AFRAID TO MOVE.

WE CAN’T GET A LADDER UP THERE.

YOU BETTER PULL HIM OFF.

TAKE YOUR BELTS AND ROPES AND GO ON UP.

I FIGURED AS MUCH. LET’S GO.

[MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO]

I’D SURE HATE TO FALL.

IT WOULD BE A FAST RIDE DOWN

WITH ALL THAT BEEF BOURGEOIS ABOARD.

BE GLAD YOUR LAST SUPPER WAS SUCH AN OCCASION.

I’LL BE AROUND FOR BREAKFAST.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

YOU’D BETTER.

YOU’VE GOT AN AFFIDAVIT TO DELIVER.

[RADIO CHATTERING]

NOW HOW AM I GOING TO GET OUT THERE?

Roy: DID YOU EVER WALK ON TOP OF A GARDEN FENCE?

YEAH, WHEN IT WAS 100 FEET CLOSER TO THE GROUND.

AH, JUST THINK OF IT AS A GARDEN FENCE.

LET’S GO.

[RADIO CHATTERING]

GARDEN FENCE, HUH?

WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE DIFFERENCE.

YEAH.

[RADIO CHATTERING]

I HOPE YOU LIVE TO BE 100.

WE’LL HAVE YOU OFF HERE IN NO TIME.

LET’S GET THIS BELT HOOKED AROUND YOU.

[RADIO CHATTERING]

THERE. PERFECT FIT.

WE’LL BE READY TO GO ANY SECOND.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT?

ANYBODY WOULD BE NERVOUS UP HERE. I AM.

READY TO GO?

YEAH, I THINK SO.

OKAY.

YOU AS SCARED AS I AM?

YEAH.

[RADIO CHATTERING]

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

YOU DID ALL RIGHT OVER THERE.

LIKE THAT PSYCHOLOGY YOU TRIED,

PRETENDING YOU WERE SCARED.

PRETENDING?

[PANTING]

COME ON, LET’S GO BACK HOME.

HOW’D IT GO?

ROUTINE. DID YOU GUYS EAT?

WE SENT OUT FOR CHINESE FOOD.

HEY, JOHNNY.

THEY...

THEY ATE IT.
