Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Here are some scenes from part I of Emergency!

Listen, you're bored.

I'm running.

Let's go to rescue 2 and ride out with Pete and the guys.

All right, that's a good idea.

That's the best idea I've heard all day.

Hey, stay back.

Stay back.

DISPATCHER: Engine 13, rescue 2.

Respond with the Police Department to an incident

at 1014 North Hudson.

Repeat 1 0 1 4 North Hudson.

You guys want to come?

Uh, yeah.

Lieutenant, there's an OB case in progress

inside the [inaudible] around the corner, sir.

An OB case? POLICE OFFICER: Yes, sir.

A lady is having a baby?

Yes, sir.

Oh, that's marvelous.

Look, we're paramedics from LA.

Maybe we can help.

NARRATOR [ON TV]: Here are some scenes of a major shootout

between the police and a suspect who barricaded

himself in the building.

The suspect apparently killed himself with a grenade,

setting the building on fire.

We can see now the victim is being removed from the building

by two very daring female paramedics.

Your friendly visiting firemen took care of everything.

Look, it's a boy!

Oh, nice job!

NARRATOR: And now part II.

Coming.

Good morning.

Hi.

How you doing?

I'm sleepy, but I'll survive.

Oh, good.

Want some breakfast?

Just some coffee.

Are you sure?

Yeah, besides you're probably exhausted from

your big adventure yesterday.

Very funny.

So how does it feel to be a heroine?

Hmm?

Did you see this?

Yeah.

PETE DELANEY: Pretty nice, huh?

Yeah, depends on your point of view, I guess.

Taking a wild guess, I'd say that you're angry that it

says women paramedics, right?

That's right, but let's not talk about it right now, OK?

Remember, I have to be at Gail and Gordon's an hour early.

Want to come along?

Or should I drive over by myself?

How come an hour early?

To help Gail out, which basically means

keeping Gordon out of her way.

OK, I guess I can volunteer for that.

Always glad to do you a favor, honey.

Um-hum, I can see that, but actually I thought

I was doing you a favor.

What do you mean?

Giving you an extra hour of my time.

- Ouch. - Got you, didn't I?

Don't you always?

Hmm, I hope so.

Where you going?

To make myself the breakfast you didn't want.

How much longer you two going to be?

I told you before.

You can't rush a project like this.

It's too delicate.

What's delicate is the materials you're working with.

This stuff is dangerous. - Not the way we're storing it.

We've taken every precaution.

Well, I still think this project should be

moved to our Montana facility. It would be a whole lot safer.

Not until we finish our basic research.

Look, nothing can possibly go wrong.

It's under control.

In this kind of work, everything's

under control until something happens

that isn't in the game plan.

Now look, this whole facility should have

been closed down years ago.

It's a disaster just waiting to happen.

Like what?

That what, John, is something I'm

not at all anxious to find out.

I just don't believe we sat, we sat up all night

and watched a Polish art film.

Look, nobody told you to.

I'm starved.

I only had half a sandwich last night, you know.

Oh, don't get petty on me now.

Boy, you're amazing.

You know, sometimes I really don't understand you.

Who else would come to San Francisco

and watch a film in their room?

You.

Well, that's different.

I got hooked!

You know, I didn't understand a word of that film,

not one word!

I didn't know what was going on!

Really?

JOHN GAGE: No, I didn't.

Well, if you understand anything about sex at all,

you understand that movie.

What?

Sex?

You mean that, that was a dirty movie?

So that's what they were doing behind the car.

I thought it was changing a tire!

OK, you guys, now eat fast.

We have exactly one half hour, and then we have to start

getting ready for the barbecue. - OK.

Not that fast.

I'll help you, Mom.

I know you will, honey.

You know, this is really a good picture of you.

You ought to send it to your mother.

I will.

Gordon, have you heard anything I've just said?

Certainly, you said you were going to send

this picture to your mother.

Oh, Gordon, in exactly four hours,

we're going to have 30 people here for a barbecue.

30 people, huh?

Three quarters of a pound each. That's--

42 and a half pounds of hamburger you'll need,

if they each eat only one.

Personally, I multiply by a factor of 2.3.

Hot dogs, suppose some of them want hot dogs?

Then I'd reduce the factor.

Would you guys cut it out?

I need some cooperation around here!

All right, sweetheart.

The hamburgers are my responsibility.

I've been told I make a terrific hamburger.

GAIL: Oh, Gordon, you do make terrific hamburgers.

God knows how, but you do.

As a matter of fact, you're almost famous for them.

You see, it's not the hamburgers I'm worried about.

What, then?

It's the barbecue.

You never seem to remember that the fluid

goes first, then the match.

You're right.

The logic is indisputable when you stop to think about it.

- Don't worry, Mom, I'll help. - Yeah, don't worry, Gail.

Phillip helped last time.

He really digs combustion.

OK, clothes check.

Let's go around through the patio.

OK.

GAIL: Hi, again.

Hiya!

Hi! GAIL: Rescue team has arrived.

Yeah.

Hi, everybody!

Just in time.

A trained firefighter could be needed at any moment.

I guess that means I'd better get outside, huh?

- Very perceptive of you. - See you later!

OK.

How's it going?

Oh, great.

I just have to finish the appetizers,

get the table set up, set up the bar, take a shower, do my hair,

get dressed.

That sounds exhausting.

Listen, why don't I take the shower for you?

- Oh, that's a big help. - No, I'm kidding.

Go, go, go.

Take a shower!

I can do this.

OK.

You know, Gloria, J.P. really seemed

worried about the project.

He gets paid to worry, John, so he has to justify his job.

I know, but maybe he just--

No maybes about it.

We know exactly what we're doing.

And if we know, then there's no problem.

Whose side are you on, anyway?

The project's, of course.

Then stop worrying like Wallace,

and let's get back to work.

OK, it's just that he does have a better overall view

of what's going on around here.

And we hardly have a clue of what

anybody else is working on.

All that's important is their competence.

Do you care what they're experimenting with?

No, I just wonder why J.P. Does.

Don't drop it.

Not a chance.

I can't wait till we ship that stuff out of here.

Ah, me too.

Just a couple of more days and you'll stop your complaining.

I can't help it if this stuff gives me the creeps.

Cheer up.

Think of all the other stuff that may be around here that we

don't do anything about.

No, thanks.

I'll settle for worrying what I know about any day.

Good, then stop your complaining,

and let's go get lunch.

All right, as soon as I scrub.

DR. DEROY: Well, you see, Doctor, in family practice

like yours, you can't possibly be objective.

You just know the patients too well.

But in emergency medicine, well, we

don't have time to personalize.

You mean treat the illness, not the patient, right?

Right.

Anyone for some food?

Um, no, but I could think of something else I'd rather have.

Oh, well, we take what we can get.

You having fun?

Oh, yes, if talking shop can be classified as fun.

Dr. DeRoy explaining his theory of treating the illness

rather than the patient. - Isn't that fascinating?

Well, I wouldn't think of interrupting,

or even listening. - Hey!

Well, as I was saying, um--

You want to take over?

I'm tired.

Thank you.

Hi [laughing].

How's it going?

No one asked for their money back.

Has Joe done his number on you yet?

No, and I'm starting to get worried.

Don't worry.

These things take time.

You know there's a precedent involved, a little coaxing.

Here he comes now, with guitar.

Smile.

Hi, Joe.

Hi, Joe.

Hi.

Yeah, I guess.

You guys need any help or anything?

No, no, everything's under control.

How about some entertainment?

Got anything going?

Oh, darn, I knew I forgot something.

Laurie, what am I going to do?

I don't know.

Well, I could maybe sing, if you like.

Oh, no, Joe, I couldn't ask you to do that.

You're here to have a good time!

Eat your hamburger.

I'm not hungry.

I don't mind!

Well, if you're sure.

Gail, you can't impose on a guest like that.

Yes, she can!

I don't mind.

No, no, Laurie's right.

I can't ask you to do that, Joe.

Look, I'd really love to help out.

Please!

Well, if you really want to.

OK!

Works every time.

[singing] Won't you come home, Bill Bailey?

Won't you come home?

I moan the whole day long.

I'll do the cooking, darling.

I'll pay the rent.

I know I've done you wrong.

Remember that rainy evening I threw you out with nothing

but a fine tooth comb.

Well, I know I'm to blame .

Well, ain't that a shame.

Bill Bailey, won't you please come home.

Oh, when the saints go marching in.

Oh, when the saints go marching in.

Lord, I want to be in that number.

Oh, when the saints go marching in.

Well, you see Pete, oops!

You see, it makes sense to use light water

on that kind of fire.

Well, you're right Gordon, how'd you figure that out?

Well, actually, it's quite logical

when you deal with the chemical properties involved.

Of course, the philosophy expounded by Plato

is the basis of most of the mysticism

found in Western culture.

You know, I've always thought of mysticism as being

kind of a combination of Eastern ascension

and Western redemption.

Ah, what did you say you did for a living?

Uh, a firefighter.

I'm a firem-- paramedic with LA county.

I see, shall we get a bite to eat?

[singing] Bill Bailey, won't you please come, Bill Bailey,

won't you please come home?

This first batch is really looking good.

I think we already have enough for the final experiments.

Well, as long as we're set up, why don't we run another batch?

We really don't need it, but--

Oh, no, another power outage.

I'll call the generator plant.

[phone ringing]

BARNEY: I know, I know, we just ran out of fuel is all.

I don't know how it happened.

I mean, maybe the night crew forgot to check up

on the tank capacity.

Yeah, yeah, relax.

We'll be up on the line in an hour.

OK, yeah, all right, look, why don't you get off the line

and let me make a call?

All right.

Yeah, listen, this is Barney over at the plant.

[singing] Ba bow, everything's happening, everything's a high.

It's easy to be happy, I don't even have to try because I've

got you in my life again.

You know I've got you in my life again.

Feelings that I'm feeling now weren't there before.

I guess everyone's having a good time, huh?

I don't know why you worry.

You're a terrific hostess.

Thanks, but I seem to spend half my time worrying

about the things that I didn't do that I

think that I should have done. - Relax.

There's plenty of food and drink.

Joe is singing his heart out.

You've got to learn to be your own best guest.

Thanks, doc.

$65 bucks, please.

He's good!

I never heard him sing before.

I mean, he's really good.

You guys probably heard him before.

Everybody's enjoying him.

I mean, look, everybody-- I think I found

somebody that's not listening.

I'm going to go straighten them out.

JOE: [singing] See a smile upon your face,

and I'll give you a song.

Because I've got you in my life again.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Have we met?

Well, no actually we haven't.

We almost did, though, yesterday in the hospital.

Yeah, I was riding out with Joe.

He's the guy that's singing.

JOE: [singing] Feel like singing with all my might.

San Francisco lay there.

Everything's all right.

He's a good friend of mine.

And Laurie, we had a run, so I couldn't stick around.

I'm John, John Gage from Los Angeles.

I'm Kathy Curlan, from San Francisco.

Hi, Kathy.

Hi, John.

You're a physical therapist, huh?

Right.

Yeah, right.

I'm into physical therapy.

Well, I mean, I'm not into physical therapy per se.

I'm a paramedic, actually, but I know

somebody that was into physical therapy in Los Angeles.

She was more into hydrotherapy.

Oh, boy, she had this tub, and we used-- He sure is good,

isn't he?

So as I was saying, Pete--

Yes, Gordon, you were saying about the light water and-- Oh,

hi, honey. - Hi.

All through waitressing?

Um-hum, the gluttons ate it all.

I think what they're ready for is some more real food.

Can I give you a hand, Gordon?

Ah, what you can give me is some more hamburgers.

They're in the freezer. - OK.

- They keep better that way. - I'll go with you.

Uh, Pete, [inaudible]

I'll go with you.

I don't believe that Gordon.

He was teaching me all about how to put out fires.

I think another minute, and I would have--

I wish he'd taught you how to cook instead.

What do you mean, I can cook.

I know you make sensational toast.

I guess you learned it in the field, huh?

Come here, you.

Now I know why you wanted to help.

Good thinking, wasn't it?

Yeah.

We have to get the food.

Killjoy.

I don't believe what I'm seeing.

Oh, no, leave it to Gordon.

An organic bowling ball, look at this.

I think we're going to need a hammer, babe.

And a chisel.

Well, as Confucius once said, a man

who does not extend himself does not know how to live.

Confucius said that?

Is that a literal translation? - Oh, I wouldn't know.

I read it in a "Playboy" magazine

while I was getting a haircut.

OK, Jim, thanks a lot.

I can do it now.

I mean, a pornographic Polish art film.

It really was kind of fascinating.

I know. I saw it.

You did?

I loved it, but it wasn't the least bit pornographic.

Sure, it was.

I mean, it may have been a little subtle, but sure it was.

Abstruse existentialism always is subtle.

Oh, yeah, abstruse existentialism, right.

It's so rare to find someone who likes the same things.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Wasn't that scene with the devil incarnate terrific?

Breast

Yeah.

Especially where there's a conflict.

Would you like a hamburger?

Yeah, OK.

OK, well, let's go and get a hamburger.

Have you had one of their hamburgers?

No, not yet.

If you haven't, oh, boy, you're in for a treat.

Oh, boy.

Hey, short stuff!

Hi!

- Hey, how you doing? - I'm OK.

I see you two finally met.

You should have introduced us before.

We really have a lot in common.

Really?

Oh, that's right.

There are sure a lot of ladies at this party.

Well, enjoy yourselves while you can.

Johnny, don't look now.

Huh?

I like the outfits.

Um-hum.

Oh, boy.

Listen, you don't suppose she'd recognize me over here, do you?

You kidding, with her radar?

Is something wrong?

Oh, no, no, uh--

Johnny!

Johnny, what a wonderful surprise!

Yeah.

I didn't know that you were in town!

You should have called me.

Oh, yeah, I'm here.

- I am so glad to see you. - Oh, boy.

I can't tell you.

I know, it's a surprise for me too.

I'm going to give you one.

I think I need one.

Hey, what are you doing tonight?

Well, I've--

Fantastic.

You know that little restaurant we went to, the romantic one?

I would love to go there again.

Listen, Ellen, Ellen, you see I'm a little tied up.

Not with me.

Everything's perfect.

Shall we go soon?

Yeah.

[phone ringing]

That's the 15th call since we shut down.

Go on and tell them we're waiting for the field

just like they are, will you?

It's about time.

Yeah, generator plant.

Oh, yes, Mr. Wallace.

Yes, sir.

OK, straight back.

Go ahead.

It's about time.

I got a plant full of mad scientists going bananas on me.

Hey, listen, don't give me a hard time, OK?

I got here as quick as I could.

I don't drive this rig like a sports car.

After all, this cargo is kind of dangerous, you know?

Yeah, tell me about it.

Come on, let's go.

Well, OK.

What did you do, stop off and go to lunch somewhere?

Yeah, yeah, that's what we did.

Go on and give it a good pull.

All right.

Hold it.

You got it?

OK.

Nice day, huh?

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

Yes, Mr. Wallace.

Yeah, truck's here right now.

Yeah, we should be operating in about 15 minutes.

Yes, sir.

Hey, the cigarette! We're transferring fuel.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Fire!

Fire!

Let's grab a hose, quick!

All right, we're going to evacuate this area.

Now get all your important papers and move!

Let's go! You, come on.

Control 35.

[sirens wailing]

We've got to get out if this place goes.

And if it doesn't, and they find out what

we've been experimenting with? - They'll find out anyway.

Oh, maybe so, but I'm not going to give them any help.

We could get those other containers in a hurry.

Where we going to move it to?

Some place cool.

If this stuff ever overheats--

Put it down.

What do you guys think you're doing?

Moving this stuff out of here.

No way, everything in this lab is classified material,

and it stays right where it is.

Listen, you moron, this stuff is heat-sensitive.

You know what will happen if this place starts to go?

I don't know, and I don't care.

I'm a security man, not a scientist.

And my orders are it stays right here.

Are you in charge here?

Here enough.

What happened?

They were refueling up at the power plant.

Something went wrong.

There was one hell of a blast, blew sparks and debris

all over the place. - [inaudible] we've got.

You better come with me.

Listen, uh, you'd better concentrate down here.

There's probably nothing left up there.

But these labs-- - Dangerous?

- You better believe it. - Like how?

Toxic gases, corrosives, some radioactive materials.

And those are just the ones I know about. [OVER P.A. SYSTEM]

Engine 4, battalion 3.

Engine 2, battalion 3. [inaudible]

Truck 4, follow me in the truck protective closures.

Ambulance 62, set up a triage area.

Patrol 35, battalion 3. [inaudible] hazard materials.

10-4, battalion 3, will request mutual aid.

Come on, let's go!

Engine 16, get around and go inside of building 4.

San Rafael, Kentfield, Larkspur, this

is Marin County communications.

Novato fire department requesting a second alarm,

mutual aid, and move up to cover a fire at Poly Tech

Chemical, 34 28 Ridge Drive.

Repeat, 3 4 2 8 Ridge Drive.

You'd better get that one fast,

since they've been working with calcium chloride in there,

and if it goes--

Engine 4, report to me as soon as you

get a knock down on that fire.

10-4, battalion 3.

[inaudible] We're going to need a general alarm.

Request two paramedic ambulances from San Francisco.

If we can't contain this one, we can expect

multiple major casualties.

How's it going?

Huh?

How's it going?

I feel like a sculptor.

Well, I feel like I'm hungry, so keep hammering.

Well, I got to get it.

No one else will.

Hello, this is the Warren residence.

Yes, this is Laurie Campbell.

It's central dispatch.

OK, we'll be right there.

What's up?

There's a possible disaster in Novato.

Joe, Gail, and I have been recalled

for mutual aid response. - I'll go with you.

Pete, you should, please stay--

Don't bother with me, you're going to need

all the help you can get.

OK, OK.

Excuse me, excuse me, Joe, Gail, we've been recalled.

There's trouble in Novato. Let's go!

Johnny, Roy, you want to go?

Yeah, you bet!

Sorry, got to go.

Bye!

See you later.

Uh, well, there's plenty of hamburgers, folks!

This is it, Gloria.

Don't worry about the formula.

I've got it with me.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Help!

Help!

Over here!

Save us!

Truck 4, get a ladder to the second floor, building 6.

Women are trapped.

Help!

Help!

Over here!

Save us!

[inaudible] building 3.

Chief, that building is really dangerous.

If she goes completely--

All we can do is what we're doing.

Is anyone in there?

Well, with all the commotion, I think they got out all right.

This is no time for thinking, Mister,

I've got to know for sure, or I'll

have to send a crew inside.

All right, I'll check it out right now.

We've got to isolate that structure.

- Where do you want us, Chief? - Over at building number 5.

They've got radioactive materials in there.

Some idiot security officer wouldn't let them evacuate it.

What about those buildings over there?

Nothing to worry about, just toxics, corrosives.

- Oh, great. - Yeah.

Get those men over to triage area,

and get me everything you can on the exposures.

Captain Delaney, San Francisco Fire Department.

This is Gage and DeSoto from LA county.

Welcome aboard.

We can use all the help we can get.

So you've got an assignment for us?

Yeah, you don't turn out here, and stand by to run like hell.

Now I think all of these buildings have been searched,

but I want to be sure.

As near as I can tell, we've got

some chemists unaccounted for in building 3,

and there could be more.

Great.

We've got two chemists unaccounted for in building 3.

Want to give it a try?

If we get paid for it, let's give it a shot, guys.

Hey, Roy, down in here!

Guys, we got two more over here!

Want to take a look?

Well, let's just get them out of here!

Look out below!

This place has bars on all the windows.

Johnny, we're going to have to go through the walls!

All right, all right, hang on!

Well, freedom of this.

Take a deep breath.

Take another one.

Help me with this one!

Are you hurt anywhere?

I don't think so.

But John has been unconscious since the first explosion.

You didn't tell them [inaudible] Johnny!

OK, let's get them out of here.

OK, just wait right here until I get out.

Pull them out.

Pull them out.

Easy, easy, John.

All right.

Roy, you OK?

- Yeah, we're OK, go ahead. - I got to get my helmet!

Oh, leave it, leave it.

Let's get out of here!

Man, your [inaudible] don't count!

[inaudible] Engine 36, Engine 18, [inaudible]

He looks pretty shocky.

He's got probable internal injuries from the explosion.

Engine 10, truck 6.

Go up to the 20th location.

Morning time to battalion 3.

Nine, five, five, extensive mop up.

Gail?

What are you doing here?

I heard something about a disaster out here.

Oh, and you were worried about me?

Not at all.

I thought you might be hungry, what with all

the excitement and everything.

Well, had all that food left over anyway, so go voila!

If that's the expression.

My goodness!

Aww, that's my Gordon.

Hey, everybody!

Chow's here!

Gordon?

Here's salad, cold drinks, plates if you need them.

Oh, I like group size. Is this yours?

Somebody say chow?

This really makes my day.

A cold hamburger.

Well, San Francisco is known for its fine cuisine, right?

So what kind of cuisine is this?

This is chopped steak, Gordon bleu.

Gordon bleu, wow.

You guys want a hamburger?
