GOOD JOB, MAN.

MARCO, GO GET ME THE TRACTION SPLINT OUT OF THE SQUAD.

OKAY.

RAMPART, THIS IS SQUAD 51. HOW DO YOU READ?

Kelly: GO AHEAD, 51.

RAMPART, WE HAVE A MALE, APPROXIMATELY 50 YEARS OLD.

HE'’S BEEN TRAPPED IN AN ICE STORAGE ROOM FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS.

HE IS COMATOSE,

AND HAS EVIDENCE OF GENERALIZED HYPOTHERMIA.

HE'’S ALSO GOT A POSSIBLE FRACTURED ANKLE.

STAND BY FOR VITAL SIGNS.

PULSE IS 60.

60 BY PALPATION.

RESPIRATION IS 12.

RAMPART, B.P. IS 60, PALPABLE.

PULSE IS 60 AND RESPIRATION IS 12.

51, COVER THE VICTIM WITH A BLANKET TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER HEAT LOSS.

IMMOBILIZE THE INJURY, START AN I.V. WITH RINGER'’S LACTATE,

AND TRANSPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

51, HOOK HIM UP TO THE EKG AS SOON AS YOU GET HIM IN THE AMBULANCE.

10-4, RAMPART.

RAMPART, VICTIM WAS IN V-FIB.

WE HAVE DEFIBRILLATED. HE'’S NOW IN SINUS RHYTHM.

Kelly: 10-4.

SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE GENERALIZED HYPOTHERMIA.

DIX, SET UP TREATMENT THREE.RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AS I SEE IT, THE PROBLEM IS HOW TO WARM HIM UP GRADUALLY.

WHAT ABOUT A WARM BATH?

WELL, WE MAY HAVE TO DEFIBRILLATE HIM AGAIN.

I'’D HATE TO WASTE TIME DRYING HIM OFF.

I THINK THERMAL BLANKETS WOULD BE BETTER.

I'’LL SET THEM UP.GOOD.

[ woman on P.A. speaking indistinctly ]

WATCH HIS LEG. COMING UP.

READY.TAKE HIM HIGH.

GET HIS HEAD FURTHER BACK HERE. GOOD.

I NEED AN I.V.

HE'’S SHIVERING TOO HARD TO INTUBATE.

Johnny: HEY, DOC, HE'’S PULLED HIS I.V.

DIX, SIX MILLIGRAMS TUBOCURARINE.

TRY AND KEEP HIM DOWN, ROY. JOHNNY, GET HIS ARM.

OKAY. HELP ME, DOC.

Johnny: OKAY, GOT IT.

WHAT IS THAT STUFF, DOC?

CURARE.

SOMETHING THAT HEADHUNTERS USE, ONLY A MILDER DOSE.

IT TOTALLY PARALYZES HIM.

MIKE, INTUBATE HIM AND GET HIM ON THE BIRD.

JOHNNY, GET THAT I.V. BACK IN.

ALL RIGHT, DOC.

LOOKS LIKE HE'’S GOT SOME FROSTBITE ON HIS FINGERS AND TOES.

HOW'’S HE GONNA BE?

TOO SOONTO KNOW.

IT MAY TAKE WEEKS FOR THE INJURY TO REACH ITS FULL EXTENT.

BUT THERE DOESN'’T SEEM TO BE ANY NECROSIS,

SO I'’D SAY HIS CHANCES ARE GOOD.

Kelly: THANKS FOR THE HELP, FELLAS.

I THINK WE CAN HANDLE IT FROM HERE.

OKAY.

SEE YOU LATER.

DIXIE WAS TALKING ABOUT ME, HUH? WHAT WAS SHE SAYING?

WELL, SHE SAID YOU WERE ONE OF HER FAVORITE PARAMEDICS,

AMONG OTHER THINGS.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, HUH?

WELL, WHAT WERE SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT?

WE'’LL HAVE TO GET TOGETHER SOME TIME AND TALK ABOUT IT.

I'’VE GOT TO RUN. BYE-BYE.

HE JUST MET DAISY.

[ sighs ]

I HAVE GOT IT KNOCKED.

YEAH. I'’VE GOT TO ADMIT, SHE SEEMED AWFUL FRIENDLY.

MAN, THIS IS GONNA BE THE EASIEST MONEY I EVER MADE.

I BETTER GET MY MONEY DOWN.

YOU KNOW, I THINK I'’M GONNA CHANGE THE BET TO TEN DOLLARS.

BETTER BE CAREFUL OR YOU GONNA SCARE THEM OFF.

WHAT'’RE YOU DOING BACK?

I LEFT MY SUNGLASSES IN MY LOCKER.

I CAN'’T GO TO THE BEACH WITHOUT THEM.

OKAY, DWYER. THERE'’S MY FIVE.

OKAY. SAY GOOD-BYE TO IT.

BUT DON'’T SAY I DIDN'’T GIVE YOU FAIR WARNING.

SEE YOU, FELLAS.

YOU KNOW, ROY, THAT POOR OLD GUY REALLY THINKS DAISY'’S GONNA DATE HIM.

WELL, MAYBE HE KNOWS SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'’T.

YEAH, WELL, MAYBE I KNOW SOMETHING HE DON'’T.

SIR, DID YOU CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?

[ chuckles ] THAT I DID.

WHAT'’S WRONG?

IT'’S MY SHIP.

HANDS STUCK TO THE HULL.

I'’M JONAS LARSON, SHIP CAPTAIN, RETIRED.

I'’M ROY DESOTO, THIS IS JOHN GAGE.

CAPTAIN.

SORRY I CAN'’T SHAKE HANDS WITH YOU LADS.

IT'’S ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, CAPTAIN, WHY DON'’T WE GET YOU OVER HERE,

AND WE CAN PUT THIS SHIP ON THE TABLE TOP.

GET YOUR HANDS UP THERE...RIGHT.

...AND WE'’LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

STEADY SHE GOES.

ALL RIGHT, CAPTAIN.

OKAY.

READY ABOUT. NOW CALMLY!

ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

MENDING A BROKEN SPAR. I GUESS I GOT SOME GLUE ON MY FINGERS.

STUCK FAST AS A BARNACLE.

I HAD TO DIAL THE TELEPHONE WITH MY BIG TOE!

[ chuckles ]

OH, MAYBE I BETTER GET SOME ALCOHOL.

THAT'’LL PROBABLY DISSOLVE IT.Johnny: OKAY.

THAT'’S A BEAUTIFUL MODEL, CAPTAIN.

THAT IT IS, LADDIE.

FOUND IT QUITE BY CHANCE, IN A JUNK SHOP.

IT'’S A MODEL OF THE NORTHERN STAR.

I SAILED ON HER WHEN I WAS A CADET.

YEAH. BET THAT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.

HOLD THAT KEEL LEVEL, MATEY.

OH, SORRY, CAPTAIN.

HAND BY THE GOLD BARS.

WASH DOWN THE CAPTAIN'’S CAT AND THROW THE DECKS OVERBOARD.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

ALCOHOL ISN'’T WORKING.

DOES IT SAY ANYTHING ON THAT TUBE ABOUT SOLVENT?

I CAN'’T GET IT OFF THE TABLE.

WELL, I BETTER CALL RAMPART.

RAMPART, THIS IS SQUAD 51.GO AHEAD, 51.

WE HAVE A MALE PATIENT, 65 YEARS OF AGE, APPROXIMATELY,

HAS A MODEL BOAT CEMENTED TO HIS HANDS.

THE TYPE OF GLUE IS UNKNOWN AND ALCOHOL WILL NOT DISSOLVE IT.

51, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CYANOACRYLATE.

THAT'’S VERY DANGEROUS STUFF. THE GOVERNMENT RECALLED THAT LAST YEAR.

HOW MUCH OF HIS SKIN IS AFFECTED?

THE INSIDE OF BOTH HANDS.

51, BREAK AWAY AS MUCH OF THE OBSTRUCTION AS POSSIBLE AND TRANSPORT.

10-4, RAMPART.

WELL, THEY WANT US TO

BREAK AWAY MUCH OF THE OBSTRUCTION AS POSSIBLE TO TRANSPORT.

WHAT?! YOU'’RE NOT GONNA BREAK UP ANYTHING, YOUNG FELLA.

I DON'’T NEED A DOCTOR, I NEED A SHIP CHANDLER.

CAPTAIN, I REALLY THINK THAT YOU DO NEED A DOCTOR.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE COULD TAPE EVERYTHING DOWN,

THAT WAY IT'’LL KEEP EVERYTHING SAFE UNTIL THE DOCTOR FINISHES.

THAT'’S THE SPIRIT.

I'’VE NEVER LOST A SHIP YET,

AND I DON'’T PROPOSE TO START NOW!

OKAY, I GUESS I'’LL CALL FOR AN AMBULANCE.

CAPTAIN, CAN I USE YOUR TELEPHONE?

HELP YOURSELF.

LET'’S SEE, WE'’LL START HERE.

WHOA.

YOUR SHIP HAS COME IN.

I WAS RIGHT. CYANOACRYLATES ARE SOLUBLE IN ACETONE.

MMM-HMM.

DID YOU GUYS HAVE TO BRING THE WHOLE SHIP?

OH, HE DIDN'’T WANT TO DAMAGE IT.

THIS SHIP'’S BEEN AROUND THE HORN 17 TIMES, DOC.

DIX, GIVE ME A BONE SAW AND THE LARGE SURGICAL WIRE CUTTERS.

HERE WE GO.

WHAT ARE YOU SCHEMING TO DO WITH THEM THINGS?

SIR, I INTEND TO KNOCK AWAY AS MUCH OF THAT OBSTRUCTION

AS I ORDERED BEFORE YOU WERE BROUGHT IN.

SCUTTLE THE NORTHERN STAR?

YOU DON'’T TOUCH ONE DEAD-EYE.

DOC, LISTEN, ISN'’T THERE SOME WAY

THAT WE COULD JUST KIND OF CUT A LITTLE BIT OUT?

YOU KNOW, HE WAS ON THAT SHIP WHEN HE WAS A BOY.

A BOY? HE MUST'’VE BEEN A VERY SMALL BOY.

HE MEANS THAT THE CAPTAIN SAILED THE REAL NORTHERN STAR.

YEAH.

GENTLEMEN, I AM A DOCTOR.

I AM NOT A SAIL-MAKER OR A CARPENTER,

AND I CANNOT WORK ON THIS PATIENT UNLESS I CAN GET TO HIS HANDS.

SAW OFF MY HANDS IF YOU MUST, SURGEON, BUT SPARE MY SHIP.

[ sighs ] OKAY.

ANYBODY GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS?

WELL, YEAH.

WHY DON'’T WE JUST LIFT HIM UP HERE

AND LIFT HIS HANDS BACK AND GET AT THE SHIP THAT WAY.

YEAH, RIGHT.DO IT.

CAPSIZE THE NORTHERN STAR?

DON'’T WORRY, BECAUSE REMEMBER, WE TAPED EVERYTHING DOWN THERE.

RIGHT.DO IT. DO IT.

YOU'’RE VERY PERCEPTIVE.

YEAH, WHY, YOU KNOW, THESE PARAMEDICS AROUND HERE,

WHAT'’RE YOU DOING TO MY SON?

HE NEEDS A DOCTOR. WE'’RE GONNA TAKE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.

NO! NO HOSPITALS!

HE STOPPED BREATHING. YOU UNDERSTAND?

HE'’S GOT TO GO!

NO. JERRY.

IT'’LL BE ALL RIGHT. HE'’LL BE ALL RIGHT.

Dixie: TREATMENT ONE.

Roy: I THOUGHT I'’D GO DOWN TO SUPPLIES.

OKAY.

HAROLD, CAN YOU HANG UP THE I.V. BAG OVER HERE?

GET HIS HEAD BACK A LITTLE FURTHER.

GOOD.

CAN YOU STICK AROUND AND GIVE ME A HAND WITH THE AMBU BAG?

LISTEN, RUTH, I WANT MY SON OUT OF THIS HOSPITAL.

I DON'’T UNDERSTAND YOU, BERNARD.

JERRY IS SICK! CAN'’T YOU SEE THAT?

MR. AND MRS. GOLDBERG?

YES.I'’M DR. BRACKETT.

OH, WE'’RE JERRY'S PARENTS. HOW IS HE?

WELL, HIS CONDITION IS STABLE.

WE'’RE MOVING HIM INTO INTENSIVE CARE WHERE WE CAN MONITOR HIM.

WE'’LL KNOW A LOT MORE WHEN THE TEST RESULTS ARE IN.

TESTS? TESTS WON'’T HELP HIM.

I WANT HIM TO DIE AT HOME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I WANT HIM TO DIE AT HOME.

NOW, MR. GOLDBERG,

WHAT MAKES YOU SO CERTAIN JERRY'’S GOING TO DIE?

HE HAS TAY-SACHS DISEASE.

WHAT'’S THAT?

ARE BOTH OF YOU JEWISH?

YES.

WHAT'’S THIS ALL ABOUT?

RUTH, THERE'’S SOMETHING I NEVER TOLD YOU.

THERE'’S A GENETIC DISEASE

THAT'’S 100 TIMES MORE COMMON IN JEWS THAN IN NON-JEWS.

AND IT'’S ALWAYS FATAL.

I HAVE IT IN MY FAMILY.

BERNARD, WHY DIDN'’T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?

I WAS AFRAID.

NOW, THERE'’S ONLY A ONE-IN-FOUR CHANCE

THAT THE BABY WILL HAVE TAY-SACHS DISEASE,

EVEN IF BOTH PARENTS ARE CARRIERS.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

NO.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

AS I EXPLAINED OUTSIDE, WE'’RE RUNNING SOME TESTS THAT SHOULD TELL US

EXACTLY WHAT'’S WRONG WITH JERRY.

IT SHOULDN'’T TAKE TOO LONG.

WHY DON'’T YOU WAIT HERE IN MY OFFICE,

AND I'’LL HAVE SOME COFFEE SENT IN.

OH, DOCTOR, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A VERY GOOD IDEA.

COME ON, BERNARD. IT'’S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW IT IS.

IT'’S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

HI THERE.BEEP, BEEP.

HEY, LISTEN, LISTEN. I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.

YEAH.

YOU WANNA GO OUT?

SURE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING FRIDAY?

FRIDAY?

YEAH, WE'’LL HAVE A PICNIC.

MEET ME AT THIS ADDRESS, FRIDAY, 10:00 A.M.

I'’LL BRING THE LUNCH.

SO...

I JUST WENT UP TO HER AND ASKED HER STRAIGHT OUT,

"DO YOU WANNA GO OUT?"

SHE SAID, "YEAH."

SO, SHE GAVE ME THIS CARD RIGHT THERE.

SEE?

147 MAPLE DRIVE, ALTADENA.

THAT'’S ALL YOU NEED.YEAH. I KNOW.

BUT, MAN, THERE'’S SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON HERE.

Chet: HEY, DWYER CALLED,

AND HE WANTS SOMEBODY TO REPLACE HIM FRIDAY SHIFT.

WELL, I CAN'’T DO IT, I'’M TAKING MY KID MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.

YUP. AND I GOT A PRIOR ENGAGEMENT.

TOUGH LUCK, JOHN.WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "TOUGH LUCK"?

LOSING OUT TO DWYER. HE'’S TAKING DAISY OUT FRIDAY,

THAT'’S WHY HE'S GONNA NEED A REPLACEMENT.

WELL, FOR YOUR INFORMATION,

I HAVE A DATE WITH DAISY.

SEE THAT THERE, THAT'’S HER ADDRESS.

UH-HUH.

AND DID SHE SAY SHE WAS GONNA BRING LUNCH?

YEAH.YEAH.

THAT'’S WHAT SHE TOLD DWYER.

I'’LL BET THIS IS THE ADDRESS TO THE COUNTY DUMP.

SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DWYER GOING WITH US.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

THIS I GOT TO SEE.

WILL YOU GIVE ME THAT AND GET OUT OF THERE.

WELL, THE TEST RESULTS ARE IN.

JERRY'’S OUT OF DANGER.

HE DOESN'’T HAVE TAY-SACHS DISEASE,

BUT HE IS SUFFERING FROM A CONDITION KNOWN AS KETOACIDOSIS.

IT'’S A COMPLICATION OF DIABETES.

HE'’S NOT GONNA DIE?

YOU'’LL HAVE TO SET UP A SPECIAL DIET FOR HIM AND KEEP HIM ON INSULIN.

AND I THINK I SHOULD TELL YOU

THAT BY DELAYING TREATMENT, YOU PUT JERRY IN GRAVE DANGER.

OH, THAT'’S RIGHT, DOCTOR.

WE ALSO HAVE A TEST THAT CAN BE GIVEN EARLY IN THE PREGNANCY

TO DETERMINE WHETHER A BABY HAS TAY-SACHS DISEASE.

I DIDN'’T KNOW.

NOW, THE TESTS ARE RELATIVELY NEW,

AND NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THEM.

YOU'’VE LIFTED A GREAT WEIGHT FROM MY SHOULDERS, DOCTOR.

I WAS A FOOL.

I GUESS JERRY WILL FORGIVE YOU, BERNARD.

WHY DON'’T WE LOOK IN ON HIM?

OH, COME ON.

THE FIRE'’S IN THE BASEMENT, PAINT CANS.

ANYBODY IN THE BUILDING?

TWO OF MY MEN CARRIED DOWN ELECTRICAL GEAR.

Roy: LET'’S CHECK THE STAGE.

OKAY. I'’LL TAKE THE LEFT SIDE.

OKAY, I'’LL GET THE LIFELINES.

WHY DON'’T YOU FOLLOW ME?

HEY! NOW, YOU JUST HANG TIGHT, WE'’RE GONNA COME AND GET YOU.

CAP.YEAH.

THAT FIRE'’S WORKING PRETTY GOOD, TOO.

WELL, GIVE YOU AS MUCH TIME AS WE CAN.

TRUCK 36, ENGINE 51, LADDER THE ROOF AND VENTILATE.

WE MAY HAVE TO BRING AN INJURED MAN OUT THAT WAY.

YEAH, WELL, THAT FIRE'’S STARTING TO BURN THROUGH THE FLOOR.

HE'’S GOT A SUCKING CHEST WOUND.

HE'’S GOT A FRACTURED STERNUM AND A FLAIL CHEST.

CAN WE PUT A BITE AROUND HIM?

I'’D RATHER NOT, I'’VE GOT TO KEEP PRESSURE ON THIS WOUND.

OKAY. SENDING THE LINE DOWN.

HOLD IT.

HOW'’S IT GOING, ROY?

WELL, CAP, THERE'’S NO WAY WE CAN LOWER THAT PIPE,

BECAUSE ALL THOSE CABLES ARE ATTACHED TO IT.

SO, I THOUGH MAYBE WE COULD RAISE IT UP.

WE CAN RAISE IT UP WITH THIS ROPE.LET'’S TRY.

OKAY, HERE GOES!

HEY! HOLD IT!

ALL RIGHT.

OKAY, EASY.STEADY NOW.

YOU GOT HIM?

THANKS.

OKAY, SLACK OFF.

[ siren wailing ]

HANG TO THAT SIDE.

WATCH IT.

HOW'’S EDDIE DOING?

WELL, HE'’S GOT SOME FRACTURED RIBS AND AN OPEN CHEST WOUND.

THE DOCTORS SHOULD HAVE HIM WALKING AROUND IN NO TIME.

HE'’LL BE OKAY.

HI, TOM.HI, ROY.

HEY, WAIT, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FINGERS?

NOTHING. LOOK, THAT I.V. BOX. HAS TO BE RESTOCKED,

ONE OF YOU GUYS MIND TELLING ME WHAT'’S GOING ON HERE?

WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU KNOW THAT ADDRESS IN ALTADENA?YEAH.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN ORPHANAGE.

SHE WORKS THERE IN HER SPARE TIME,

AND THEY NEED A LOT OF REPAIRS.

AND WE VOLUNTEERED, SORT OF.

ALL 12 OF US.

WHAT ABOUT THE BET? WHO WON ALL THAT MONEY?

WE NEEDED A LOT OF SUPPLIES.AND BAND-AIDS.

DWYER KEPT SMASHING HIS FINGER WITH A ROOFING HAMMER.

GAGE KEPT DOING HANDSPRINGS OVER THE WHEELBARROW.

THAT'’S HOW YOU SPRAINED YOUR BACK.

NOT BEFORE THE SAME WHEELBARROW RAN OVER MY FOOT.

SO LONG, FELLAS. THANKS AGAIN.

BOY, IS SHE TERRIFIC. WE HAVE A DATE SATURDAY.

WELL, THE ORPHANAGE MUST NEED A SWIMMING POOL DUG.

NO, I'’M JUST HAVING DINNER WITH HER AT HER PLACE.

SHE SAID SHE'’S TIRED OF LARGE GROUPS.

MARCO, IT'’S A SET-UP.

EITHER WAY, I'’LL NEVER TELL.
