AND TAKE HIM IN AS-IS.

*

( siren blaring )

( sighing )

I HAVEN’T GOT ANYTHING.

JOB LIKE THIS, I WOULDN’T CARRY A TOOTHPICK.

IT TAKES UP TOO MUCH ROOM.

BETTER NOT SAY ANYTHING ELSE, MISTER,

NOT UNTIL WE’VE GIVEN YOU YOUR RIGHTS.

FINE WITH ME.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.

IF YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT,

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU

IN A COURT OF LAW.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY

AND TO HAVE THE ATTORNEY PRESENT DURING QUESTIONING.

IF YOU SO DESIRE AND CANNOT AFFORD ONE,

AN ATTORNEY WILL BE APPOINTED FOR YOU

WITHOUT CHARGE BEFORE QUESTIONING.

RAMPART, WE NOW HAVE THE VICTIM.

HE’S MALE, IN HIS MIDDLE ’30s,

APPROXIMATELY 145 POUNDS.

HE HAS A DEEP CUT ON HIS RIGHT SIDE.

LOST A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BLOOD.

NOW HOLD ON FOR VITAL SIGNS.

BLOOD PRESSURE’S 90 OVER 50.

PULSE RATE AND RESPIRATIONS

ARE BOTH A LITTLE FAST.

B.P. 90 OVER 50.

PULSE AND RESPIRATION BOTH A LITTLE FAST.

51, START AN I.V. WITH RINGER’S LACTATE.

10-4.

Brackett: ARE THERE ANY OTHER INJURIES?

UH, NEGATIVE.

YOU GUYS TREAT ME LIKE I’M A PIECE OF FURNITURE.

YOU HEARD HIM. I’M A CITIZEN.

AND CONDITION SEEMS TO BE STABLE.

10-4, 51. BRING HIM RIGHT IN.

10-4.

( siren blaring ) IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER.

I KNEW THAT.

YEAH, WELL, JUST TAKE IT EASY.

THERE I AM. I GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL M.O.--

I MEAN REALLY BEAUTIFUL--

AND I’M SCORING GOOD.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I’M INTO HEAVY BREAD...

LIKE IT WAS FALLING OUT OF MY POCKETS.

YEAH, WELL, JUST RELAX.

( sighs ) I KNEW I WAS GONNA

GET HUNG UP ONE NIGHT.

BUT WHAT’S THE USE OF HAVING MONEY IF YOU CAN’T ENJOY IT?

STEAK.

BAKED POTATO.

SOUR CREAM.

CHIVES. ICE CREAM.

ATE MYSELF RIGHT OUT OF THIS PERFECT M.O.

I PUT ON TOO MUCH WEIGHT. ( clicks tongue )

BUT, MAN...

WHILE IT LASTED...

OUTTA SIGHT.

( indistinct announcement on P.A. )

OH, DOC.

HOW’S OUR BURGLAR?

OH, HE’S GONNA BE OKAY.

DR. EARLY’S SEWING HIM UP, AND...

THEN HE’LL BE ON HIS WAY TO THE JAIL WARD.

( chuckles )

SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY WILD CAPER.

WELL IT WAS KINDA DIFFERENT.

WASN’T NEAR AS WILD AS ADAM-12,THOUGH.

SURE WISH I KNEW HOW THAT TURNED OUT.

GOT PULLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TV SHOW AGAIN, HUH?

IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.

COME ON.

WELL, WATCH THE NEWSPAPERS.

THEY’LL PROBABLY RUN THE SAME EPISODE AGAIN

IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. YEAH.

Woman on P.A.: DR. ALLEN,

63.

DOCTOR ALLEN, 63.

HEY, MAYBE WE COULD GO BACK AND ASK SOME OF THE PATIENTS

IN THE HOSPITAL HOW THE SHOW CAME OUT.

IT’S NOT THAT IMPORTANT, JOHNNY.

AFTER ALL, IT’S ONLY A TELEVISION SHOW.

BESIDES, VISITING HOURS ARE OVER.

OH, I GUESS SO.

Dispatcher: ...SQUAD 209 IS 10-7 AT ST. FRANCIS.

BATTALION NINE... ( indistinct )

SQUAD THREE, WHAT IS YOUR STATUS?

SQUAD THREE,

WHAT IS YOUR STATUS?

JUST THAT I’M CURIOUS HOW REED AND MALLOY GOT OUT OF IT, THAT’S ALL.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, IS THERE?

I THINK IT’S KINDA CHILDISH.

Dispatcher: 10-4, ENGINE 89. TROUBLE WITH YOU, ROY,

IS YOU’VE GOT NO CURIOSITY.

LOOK, IT’S JUST A TELEVISION SHOW.

I KNOW THEY GOT OUT OF IT OKAY.

I KNOW THEY’LL BE BACK AGAIN NEXT WEEK

WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM.

DOESN’T BOTHER ME IN THE SLIGHTEST.

*

HEY! GET ME A DOCTOR!

I’M BLEEDING TO DEATH!

*

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?

BEER.

HOW MUCH?

OH, FOUR OR FIVE.

DID YOU GET HIT ON THE HEAD?

I DON’T THINK SO.

PROBABLY HIT IT WHEN I WENT DOWN.

I WHACKED HIM ONE.

WERE YOU UNCONSCIOUS?

UH-UH.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER GUY?

I DON’T KNOW.

THEY PULLED HIM OFF ME AND BROUGHT ME STRAIGHT OVER HERE.

HE WAS RIDING ME

AND RIDING ME AT WORK.

HE JUST WOULDN’T LET UP.

BUT TONIGHT...

HE KEPT IT UP

AND HE KEPT IT UP.

AND I COULDN’T TAKE IT ANY LONGER.

SO I BELTED HIM ONE.

Woman on P.A.: IDENT IN ONE.

WHAT’S THE TROUBLE?

GUY SLUGGED ME.

HE KNOCK YOU OUT?

NO WAY.

OPEN YOUR EYES, PLEASE.

I’M JUST STANDING THERE, AND POW!

THIS DUMMY BELTS ME WITH A POOL CUE.

WHERE’D HE HIT YA?

HERE.

AND THERE.

OH!

AH.

DARN DUMMY.

I’M GONNA GET HIM FIRED FOR THIS.

UNION OR NO UNION, HE’S THROUGH.

YOU SURE YOU DON’T HURT ANYPLACE ELSE? NO.

WHERE’D ALL THE BLOOD COME FROM?

I DON’T KNOW.

MUST BE HIS. IT AIN’T MINE.

WHO’S THAT? THE GUY YOU’RE FIGHTING WITH? YEAH.

I FIXED HIM. I NAILED HIM GOOD.

WHERE IS HE?

I DON’T KNOW. WHO CARES?

THIS HURTS RIGHT HERE, DOC. ( sighs )

Brackett: I’LL START WITH THE FACIAL CUTS

FIRST, DIX.

WHAT’D HE USE ON YOU, A BOTTLE?

YEAH, HE GOT ME DOWN, KEPT CUTTING.

BETTER NOTIFY THE SHERIFF.

I’M GONNA KILL HIM.

YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH FIGHTING FOR A WHILE.

I SWEAR...

THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM,

I’LL KILL HIM.

*

ALL RIGHT, LET’S SEE...

25 POUNDS FRICTION LOSS

PER HUNDRED...

TIMES EIGHT.

THAT’LL GIVE YOU 325 G.P.M.s

OUT OF AN INCH-AND-A-QUARTER TIP.

WELL?

HUH?

IS THAT THE RIGHT ANSWER?

UM...

WHAT’D YOU SAY? I-I WASN’T EVEN...

325 G.P.M.s.

( muttering inaudibly )

RIGHT.

YEAH. IF YOU’RE GONNA HELP ME, STAY WITH ME.

WHAT’S THE NEXT PROBLEM?

( inhales sharply )

YOU KNOW WHAT I FIGURE HAPPENED?

REED GOT AWAY AND RAN FOR HELP.

NOW, I’LL TELL YOU WHY I FIGURE THAT WAY.

OKAY, I’M GONNA SETTLE THIS THING

BEFORE YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY.

WELL I JUST REMEMBER SEEING OLD ADAM-12ONCE...

WHERE HE WAS A TRACK STAR ON THE HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAM.

MARVELOUS.

MAYBE MY WIFE WATCHED IT.

HI, HONEY. IT’S ME.

NO, NO. EVERYTHING’S FINE.

LOOK...

DID YOU WATCH THE ADAM-12 SHOW TONIGHT?

GREAT.

WELL YOU KNOW THE PLACE WHERE REED,

AND MALLOY, AND THE PRISONER GET PINNED DOWN IN THAT DITCH?

YEAH, THAT’S THE PLACE.

WELL WHAT HAPPENED AFTER REED WAS CAPTURED?

HE WENT TO STEAL THE CROOK’S CAR.

MALLOY.

THE CROOKS FIRED A SHOT AT HIM?

UH-HUH.

ARE YOU KIDDING? D-DID HE GET HURT?

WAS HE HURT?

( softly ) Was he hurt?

YEAH, I SEE.

WELL, GIVE HIM A KISS FOR ME

AND TELL HIM TO GO TO SLEEP.

YEAH, HONEY. BYE-BYE.

A KISS FOR ME?

UH, I-IT WENT LIKE THIS...

AFTER REED WAS CAPTURED,

MALLOY WENT TO STEAL THE CROOK’S CAR.

AND THE CROOKS FIRED A SHOT AT HIM,

AND THEN RIGHT THEN, CHRIS FELL OUT OF BED.

I MEAN, H-HE’S ALL RIGHT.

HE JUST HAD A BAD DREAM.

ANNE MISSED THE REST OF THE SHOW.

Dispatcher: UTILITY ONE, CALL STATION 38.

( sighs )

WELL NOW I WISH YOU HADN’T CALLED.

MAKES IT EVEN WORSE.

YEAH, THE CROOKS HANDCUFFED REED

WITH HIS OWN HANDCUFFS.

BEGINNIN’ TO WISH WE’D WATCHED THE ENTIRE SHOW.

WAIT A MINUTE.

THOUGHT YOU SAID IT DIDN’T BOTHER YOU.

IT DOESN’T.

NOT REALLY. I JUST, UH...

I WONDER IF THERE’S ANYONE ELSE WE CAN CALL.

*

Woman on P.A.: DOCTOR ROBERTO...

( P.A. continues indistinctly )

HERE, TAKE A BREAK.

OH, THANK YOU.

I WAS HOPING SOME KIND SOUL

WOULD POUR SOME COFFEE BETWEEN MY LIPS.

CAN’T REMEMBER WHEN WE’VE BEEN THIS BUSY

DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

I KNOW. IT FEELS MORE LIKE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

DON’T TELL ME YOU’VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING FOR A CHANGE, KEL.

GO AHEAD, DIX.

YOU WON’T EMBARRASS ME IF YOU WANT TO TELL HIM.

TELL HIM WHAT?

WHAT BEAUTIFUL WORK I DO.

DR. EARLY...

YEAH?

DR. BRACKETT SAYS TO TELL YOU

HE DOES BEAUTIFUL WORK.

YOU MADE IT SOUND LIKE I’M BRAGGING.

I JUST PUT IN 82 STITCHES. ( whistles )

BUT MY PRIDE AND JOY IS A COUPLE OF FACIAL CUTS.

BELIEVE ME, JOE--THE SCARS WILL HARDLY BE VISIBLE.

IT WAS NICE WORK.

"NICE"? IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE?

A GUY THAT DOESN’T BOAST.

I’M GONNA CALL YA NEXT TIME I TEAR MY PANTS.

WHAT DO YA GOT?

HAIRLINE SKULL FRACTURE.

BROKEN COLLARBONE.

I THINK THE RIBS ARE OKAY.

AUTOMOBILE?

UNSPORTING USE OF A POOL CUE.

BAR FIGHT? UH-HUH.

WHAT TIME DID HE COME IN?

AROUND A QUARTER TO TEN.

YOU KNOW I THINK WE GOT THE OTHER GUY HERE, TOO.

MR. 82 STITCHES? YEAH, IT COULD BE.

DIX, WHEN WE MOVE ’EM, MAKE SURE THEY DON’T WIND UP IN THE SAME ROOM.

YEAH, DIX. THEY’VE ALREADY DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB ON EACH OTHER.

HEY, DOC, HOW ’BOUT A LITTLE SERVICE HUH?

YEAH, I’LL BE RIGHT THERE.

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

UH, MY LEG HURTS.

THIS CAST AIN’T WORTH A DARN.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT, HUH?

UH, YEAH.

TEN DAYS AGO?

WHAT’VE YOU BEEN DOING TO THIS CAST? NOTHIN’.

WELL IT DIDN’T GET THAT WAY BY ITSELF.

NOW, WHAT’VE YOU BEEN DOING TO IT?

I TOLD YA--NOTHIN’!

( gasps )

WHEN DID IT START HURTING?

OH, I DON’T KNOW. ABOUT, UH...

THREE DAYS AGO? ( sighs )

WELL DON’T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD’VE COME IN THEN?

S-SURE, PROBABLY, YEAH. BUT--

WHY DID YOU WAIT TILL TONIGHT?

BECAUSE MY LET HURT SO BADLY

I COULDN’T EVEN SLEEP!

NOW WHY DON’T WE GO?

LET’S GET THIS THING ON THE ROAD, HUH?

YOU WAITED THREE DAYS. WHAT’S THE HURRY?

I WASN’T TALKING TO YOU, NURSE.

SO WHY DON’T YOU JUST STAY OUT OF THIS.

HEY.

THAT’LL BE ENOUGH OF THAT.

LOOK, I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR HOURS.

"COME HERE, GO THERE, FILL OUT THE FORMS.

PICK UP THE PAPERS. GO TO ROOM SO-AND-SO."

YOU KNOW I ABOUT HAD IT!

YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY PATIENT I’VE GOT.

LOOK, I JUST SAW YA STANDING OVER THERE, YAKKING IT UP,

DRINKING COFFEE. THAT’S THE FIRST BREAK HE’S HAD IN OVER FIVE HOURS.

WELL THAT’S HIS PROBLEM!

NOW I WANT THIS LEG FIXED,

AND FIXED RIGHT THIS TIME.

YOUR LEG WAS FIXED RIGHT!

YOU’VE BEEN DOING SOMETHING STUPID FOR A MAN IN YOUR CONDITION.

I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANNA DO!

AND I DIDN’T COME HERE FOR A LOT OF TALK AND QUESTIONS.

NOW MAYBE THE REST OF THESE PEOPLE AROUND THIS PLACE

LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU’RE SOME BIG DOCTOR

OR SOMETHING. BUT NOT ME!

NOW YOU KNOW I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT ON YOU, DR. BRACKETT?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

OH, FOR PETE’S SAKE.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. LET’S JUST SETTLE DOWN.

I’M GONNA DO WHAT I CAN FOR YA.

YEAH, WELL I THOUGHT THAT’D BRING YOU AROUND.

LOOK, YOU WANT MY HELP, YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO THIS CAST.

OTHERWISE, YOU CAN JUST HOBBLE OUT OF HERE.

NO BALLIN’ OUT, HUH?

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I WENT SURFING OVER THE WEEKEND UP THE COAST.

SURFING WITH A CAST ON?

YOU COULD’VE DROWNED.

WELL I’M, UH, REAL GOOD IN THE WATER.

NOW I’VE HEARD EVERYTHING. ( scoffs )

WELL...

LET’S GET THE CAST OFF OF HIM.

IN HERE, DIX.

WEREN’T YOU AFRAID?

NO.

YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN. WHAT FOR?

LOOK, YOU’VE ONLY GOT ONE LEFT LEG.

IF YOU DON’T TAKE CARE OF IT, YOU COULD WIND UP

WITH A PERMANENT LIMP.

THAT’S ASSUMING YOU DON’T LOSE IT ALTOGETHER.

DIDN’T I SAY, "NO BALLIN’ OUT"?

MISTER, WHEN I GET FINISHED WITH YOU TONIGHT,

I HOPE YOU GET VERY SENSIBLE VERY FAST.

* Woman on P.A.: MS. JONES, RECEPTION, PLEASE.

Nurse: YES, DOCTOR.

CARVER?

Woman on P.A.: STAT IDENT DOCTOR,

TREATMENT ROOM THREE.

STAT IDENT DOCTOR,

TREATMENT ROOM THREE.

OOH.

( sighs)

WHEN HE’S THROUGH IN X-RAY,

BRING HIM BACK HERE.

( sighing )

ALL YOUR TALKING TO HIM--

DO YOU THINK IT’LL DO ANY GOOD?

FOR A WHILE, MAYBE.

"HOW ABOUT SOME SERVICE, DOC?"

YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THAT.

WHAT’S THE MATTER, DIX?

THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE SYNDROME AGAIN?

NO, DON’T TRY AND GET ME OUT OF IT, KEL.

AH, YOU’RE JUST TIRED.

OH, YOU BET I AM.

I’M TIRED OF ALL THE NONSENSE,

THE WASTED TIME.

I DON’T MIND THE ONES

THAT DREAM UP SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM

SO THEY CAN COME IN AND HAVE SOMEBODY TO TALK TO.

THEY’RE...

THEY’RE JUST LONELY.

BUT THE OTHERS-- THE ONES THAT CAN’T

OR WON’T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES--

THE ONES THAT TRY AND CON YOU SO THEY CAN GET THEIR EIGHT DAYS DISABILITY,

THE ONES THAT COME IN WITH A HANGNAIL, HOLLERING "EMERGENCY!"

BECAUSE THEY CAN’T BE BOTHERED GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. I--

( sighs ) THEY JUST...

TREAT THIS PLACE LIKE A SWINGING-DOOR CLINIC.

YOU KNOW I’M RIGHT.

EMERGENCY’S A NEW SPECIALTY, DIX.

SURE IT’S STILL GOT SOME BUGS IN IT.

BUT WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS YOU HERE,

THEY REALLY NEED YOU.

( sighs ) ADMIT IT, KEL.

ONCE IN A WHILE,

DON’T YOU GET DISCOURAGED?

( crashing )

Woman: SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! THEY’RE FIGHTING!

( grunting )

BREAK IT UP!

ALL RIGHT! BREAK IT UP!

( grunting ) ALL RIGHT! BREAK IT UP!

...THAT TREATMENT ROOM!

I ONLY GOT ONE HAND, DUMMY,

BUT I CAN STILL TAKE YOU! SHUT UP! ( shouting indistinctly )

STRAP HIM DOWN! HE SNUCK UP AND HIT ME WITH A BOTTLE!

I CAN GET UP.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I’M ALL RIGHT.

KEL?

THOSE BEAUTIFUL STITCHES YOU PUT IN?

YEAH? HE TORE THEM LOOSE.

ALL OF THEM? MOST OF THEM.

( sighs )

YES, DIX.

ONCE IN A WHILE, I DO GET A...

LITTLE DISCOURAGED.

*

Gage: YEAH, WE’LL YOU’RE ABOUT THE THIRD PERSON I CALLED TONIGHT.

NO, NONE OF THEM HAVE SEEN IT, EITHER.

( groans ) WELL I GUESS IF YOU WEREN’T HOME,

YOU COULDN’T HAVE SEEN IT.

THAT’S OKAY.

THANKS ANYWAY, CHARLIE.

RIGHT. BYE.

( sniffles )

( sighs )

GAGE. YES?

ARE YOU THROUGH?

YEAH, RIGHT, CAPTAIN.

WELL LET’S, UH...

GET SOME SLEEP, HUH?

RIGHT.

( sighs )

HE WAS AT A MOVIE.

HE DIDN’T SEE IT.

YOU KNOW...

MAYBE IT WAS A TWO-PARTER.

( sighs )

( sighs )

( sighs )

YOU KNOW--

I COULD CALL THE TELEVISION STATION.

NOW WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT BEFORE?

Man: DANG, GAGE.

YEAH? FORGET CALLING ’EM.

I’LL GIVE YOU THE ENDING.

I’M GONNA STRANGLE YOU.

Man: WE’LL HOLD HIM FOR YOU.

*

( sighs )

( sighs )

THIS IS KAREN WILSON. SHE HAS A HEADACHE.

I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE, HAVEN’T I?

MAYBE.

I’VE SEEN HER FIVE OR SIX TIMES.

REMEMBER WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT?

( sighs )

SHE ALWAYS COMES IN AROUND THIS TIME OF NIGHT.

SAYS SHE HAS A MIGRAINE. WANTS PILLS FOR THE PAIN.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT NOW, KAREN?

PILLS.

I DON’T CARE. ANYTHING.

JUST KILL THE PAIN.

CAN YOU SHOW ME WHERE IT HURTS?

( sighs )

RIGHT THERE.

WHEN DID IT START?

AN HOUR?

A COUPLE, MAYBE?

I DON’T KNOW.

DO YOU HAVE ANY NAUSEA?

( grunts softly )

SIT UP HERE FOR ME, WILL YOU, PLEASE?

SHE’S GOT ALL THE SYMPTOMS DOWN PAT.

USUALLY CARRIES ON.

SHE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE CARRYING ON NOW.

DOES THE LIGHT BOTHER YOU?

A LITTLE, I GUESS.

RIGHT EYELID’S DROOPING A LITTLE.

KAREN, I WANT YOU TO FOLLOW MY FINGER.

RIGHT EYE WON’T MOVE UPWARDS.

LOOKS LIKE THIRD NERVE INVOLVEMENT.

( sighs )

SLIGHT PAPILLEDEMA.

( sighs )

DIX, SET UP A SPINAL TRAY.

*

Brackett: HOLD VERY STILL, KAREN.

YOU’RE GOING TO FEEL A LITTLE NEEDLE STING.

JUST MAKE MY HEAD STOP...HURTING.

*

WHAT I’M DOING, KAREN,

IS DRAWING OFF A LITTLE FLUID

FROM YOUR SPINE.

IT’S A SIMPLE PROCEDURE.

NOTHING YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT.

YOU SHOULDN’T FEEL ANYTHING.

BUT IT MIGHT GIVE US SOME IDEA

OF WHAT’S CAUSING THAT PAIN IN YOUR HEAD.

CLEAR BUT YELLOW.

ALMOST FINISHED.

( sighs )

( sighs )

KAREN, I’M GOING TO SEND YOU UPSTAIRS

TO A SPECIALIST.

OKAY. WHATEVER.

HE’LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU.

NEUROLOGY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK AT HER RIGHT AWAY.

I SUSPECT A BERRY ANEURYSM.

I ALREADY DID A SPINAL TAP.

YEAH.

YEAH, SHE’S ON HER WAY UP RIGHT NOW. THANKS.

( phone hangs up )

I THOUGHT SHE WAS TRYING TO WORK US FOR DRUGS AGAIN.

SHOULD’VE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT.

( indistinct announcement on P.A. ) YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

ANYTIME YOU KNOW SOMETHING, I WANNA HEAR IT.

ALL RIGHT.

AS LONG AS YOU DON’T PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO ME.

I’LL KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

OPEN MIND. OPEN MOUTH.

I DON’T BELIEVE I LIKE THAT ARRANGEMENT.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE FLOOR--IT’S SOLID.

BUT THE ROOM IS HOT.

PORT LEADING INTO THE HOT CELL ITSELF

IS BLOWN OUT, IT’S JAMMED,

AND THAT RADIATION’S COMING OUT OF THERE LIKE A SPOTLIGHT,

AND THAT’S REALLY HOT. SO YOU STAY OUT OF THAT.

KELLY AND I’LL GO IN FIRST.

YOU TWO MEN NEXT.

THE WORKING TIME IS SIX MINUTES. NO MORE.

THEN OUT-- THE NEXT PAIR GO IN.

DESOTO, YOU AND GAGE WILL BE THE LAST ONES.

NOW, MEN, REMEMBER-- WHEN YOU GET THE BEAM OFF,

DON’T TOUCH HIM.

TURN IT OVER TO THE PARAMEDICS

AND LET THEM HANDLE IT.

DESOTO, I WANT YOU TO WATCH THE TIME.

SIX MINUTES.

OKAY, LET’S GO.

( alarm blaring )

THIS IS OUR RADIATION CONTROL EXPERT,

FRANK CONOYER. OKAY.

HAVE YOU NOTIFIED THE ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION?

YEAH. IS DUNCAN STILL IN THERE?

THEY’RE WORKIN’ ON IT.

NOW THIS IS WHAT WE’VE DONE SO FAR:

WE’VE SET UP A TWO-M.R. PERIMETER.

ANY EQUIPMENT THAT GOES INSIDE STAYS IN.

WE’VE SET UP A DECONTAMINATION POINT.

MAYBE I CAN HELP INSIDE.

OKAY, TIME’S UP. GET ’EM OUT OF THERE!

ALL RIGHT. TAKE OFF, YOU TWO!

THEY OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO FINISH THE JOB.

MUCH MORE EXPOSURE.

IT’S GOOD TO KNOW.
