[DeSoto] Hey, Johnny. What?

You wanna hand me
this other air bottle?

[Dispatcher] Squad 59,
cancel your response.

What do we have here?

Oh, I've never seen him before.

Hey, Chet, you know this guy?

- By me. I've never seen him before.
- [Whines]

He probably just wants
to scrounge a free meal.

Yeah, well, we have enough
mouths to feed around here.

Go on, hound, split. [Whines]

Go bug the local
butcher, huh? Out.

[Whines] Look at him. He's
arguing with a dog, and he's losing.

You know, maybe you're
not using enough authority.

Go on, mutt, beat it!

Split! Go!

- [Whines]
- There's no room in the inn. Dig?

[Whines]

Just had to put it in
the right vernacular.

Yeah, well, you didn't
have to hurt its feelings.

Well, let's forget about the
dog. What about the air bottle?

- What about it?
- [Alarm Blaring]

[Dispatcher] Station 51,
child trapped in excavation site.

Ten hundred block Rosemead Lane.

Ten hundred block Rosemead Lane.
Cross street Argyle. Time out 0915.

Station 51, 10-4. KMG-365.

[Sirens Wailing]

It's over here, fellas.

It's his boy. He's down there.

Yeah, well, Roy, you
and Johnny have a look.

The rest of us, let's get back out of here
before we cave this thing in. Come on.

[Radio Chatter]

Uh, I can see the top of his head. He's
about, uh—Oh, about seven feet down.

What's his name, sir? Frankie.

Frankie? Frankie,
can you hear me?

[Frankie] I— I'm here.

I-I can't move.

[Gage] All right,
Frankie. Just take it easy.

We'll have you out of
there in a minute. Now listen.

Are your arms above your
head or down by your sides?

In front. They're stuck.

All right, just take it
easy. Now don't move.

We'll have you out
of there in a minute.

All right, look. This hole
is big enough. I think I'll fit.

Yeah, we'll give it a try. Chet, we'll need
a couple of ladders and an airline, huh?

[Dispatcher] Gasoline
tank trunk. Russ?

What is it?
Seventy-first street.

It's Frankie. He fell.
Oh, my God. Frankie!

Ma'am, we've been
talking to the boy.

He seems to be okay.
Well, can you get him out?

- We're gonna try right now.
- Russ, how did it happen? How?

Frankie knew to stay away from these holes.
We talked about it. How did it happen?

I don't know. He must
have been playing.

Come on, hurry up! What, are you
gonna take all day? Please be patient.

We're gonna get him
out. But first we gotta

make sure the dirt
doesn't fall in around him.

All right, all right.
Just hurry up.

Folks, I'm gonna need some
information, please. Uh, Mr. Gentry?

All right, that should do it, men.
We're gonna have to move real easy.

All right, Cap,
we're ready to go.

- All right, Gage?
- Yeah. I think we can do it.

Uh, just a second. Frankie?

Frankie, I'm coming
down to get ya.

Uh, I want you to
try to relax, okay?

- Oh, I'll try.
- Okay.

[Dispatcher] Engine 32, Squad 3.

Lower.

Hey, it's starting to cave in!

Oh, no! Frankie!

[Siren Wailing]

[Siren Wailing]

Let's try to bring him
up now. Come on.

- [Stanley] Get him outta there. Come on.
- [Men Grunting]

Keep pullin'. Keep pullin'.

[Chattering]

Keep comin'.

Put him down.

Frankie?

[Mother] Frankie?
Pull up. Go down.

It's okay, Frankie. Mama.
Mama, my head hurts.

Yeah, I know, sweetheart.
We'll make it better.

What, uh— What kind of a
hole did you say he fell in?

Posthole. Was it
lined with concrete?

Uh-uh, just the opposite.

- What do you mean?
- Johnny here almost replaced the post.

The dirt was so loose around
that hole, it caved in on him.

[Sighs] That's strange.

And dark too.

Listen, we'd better
make ourselves available.

An engine company got dispatched
to a brush fire on our way in.

Oh, yeah, sure, go ahead.

What is it, Kel?

Dix, get Joe Early. And have
X-rays set up for a full skull series.

Okay. Uh, Dix.

Yeah. Are the
boy's parents here?

Yeah, in the waiting room. I may
need them to sign admittance papers.

That's quite a bump you
have there, young man.

What do you say we
take a few pictures of it?

You mean X-ray pictures?

Oh, you know about those, huh?

They don't hurt. That's
the best part. You bet.

Frankie, can you remember yet how
you happened to bump your head?

Uh, when I fell,
I hit something.

- Can you remember what it was?
- No.

I just hit something is all.

I don't feel good. Could
we stop talking, please?

Sure, Frankie. We can stop.

Squad 51, in quarters.

[Dispatcher] Squad 51.

5-to-1 Kelly needles
us about missing the fire.

No bet.

Hey, Roy? I was just thinkin'.

Uh-huh, that's dangerous.

Come on, I'm serious. I think I'm
gonna put in for the paramedics.

[Groans] No, I mean, to hang
around a nice air-conditioned hospital,

while your pals are
out battling brush fires.

Hey, Cap. How's the fire?

Turned out to be a trash can.

- [Barks]
- Stubborn little cuss, isn't he?

- I'll be darned.
- [Barks]

He just can't take
no for an answer.

Kind of a cute little
dog, isn't he? [Whines]

He doesn't have a collar.
He's probably a stray.

[Gage] Hmm, be kind of a
shame to kick him out again.

He probably wouldn't have
anywhere to go. Oh, no, you don't.

I've been through
that dog stuff before.

- No, thanks.
- What do you say, Cap?

- Well, I don't know.
- Oh, come on, Cap.

- Station 6 has a dog.
- Maybe he has an owner.

Well, if he shows up, we can
always turn him over to him.

Well, I guess it couldn't
hurt for a while anyway.

You guys are crazy. What are
you, anti-animal or something?

Yeah, in a fire station.
That's no place for a dog.

Oh, stop being so negative.
Besides, you're outvoted.

Now, what are we gonna name him?

Why not Boot. He's
as dumb as a recruit.

- Sounds good to me.
- All right, Boot it is.

How do you like
your new name, boy?

[Whines]

There.

Now what do you
make of that, Joe?

Come on, Kel.
That's an old fracture.

You don't have to be
a specialist to see that.

Look, I'm trying to
back you. But let's face

it. Frankie's got a
good knot on his head,

a very slight concussion and the
skull series indicates no problems.

[Brackett] I still
want to admit him.

What for? His parents can
observe him as well as we can.

I'd like to do a complete
roentgenographic examination.

Kel, we both examined the boy.

It shows he's suffered
no other trauma.

All right, then call it a hunch.
I still want to admit him, Joe.

He's your patient. And I'm
asking for your consultation.

Sure. Would you mind telling me
exactly what you want me to consult?

Repetition of injury.

The most important
factor in producing...

diagnostic radiologic signs
of the battered child syndrome.

You have something
to hang your hat on?

[Scoffs] No, not yet.

You're sticking your
neck out a mile, you know.

[Brackett] I think he's
an abused child, Joe.

[Girl] Hi. Well, hi.

Are you the lady that's in charge
here? 'Cause that's who I wanna see.

Well, I just might fit that
bill. What's your name?

Penny. I'm here to see my
friend. I got a present for him.

Oh. Well, Penny, are
you here all by yourself?

Nope. My mom's
waiting out there for me.

- What's your friend's name?
- His name's Frank Stewart.

But all us kids
call him Frankie.

His mom and dad are named Gentry.
But that's because his mama's divorced,

and she got a new
name, but Frankie didn't.

Oh, I see.

Is Frankie really hurt bad?

No, not too bad.

Then how come
he has to stay here?

Well, because the doctors wanna do
some tests and see if everything's okay.

I betcha they think Frankie bumped
his head when he fell in that hole, huh.

Didn't he?

No, it was hurt before.

[Woman On P.A.] Dr. Jose
Estrada. Dr. Jose Estrada.

Penny, did you see Frankie fall?

Yep, sure did.

Then how did he hurt his head?

It was already hurt when
he ran out of his house.

- What do you think happened?
- Can't tell ya.

Oh, you can't? Why not?

'Cause I promised Frankie a long time
ago when he told me some other stuff.

Oh, well, then we can't
break a promise then, can we?

Nope, 'cause we're friends.
Can I see Frankie now?

I'll tell you what. Let's you
and I go see Frankie's doctor.

And if he says okay, I'll personally
take you to Frankie's room.

- Is that a deal?
- Okay.

Come on. This is
my favorite airplane.

Really? And you're
gonna give it to Frankie?

Yep, 'cause he's my best friend.

Sometimes he even
gets to stay overnight.

I wish Frankie could
live with us all the time.

Oh, why do you wish that, Penny?

Because my mom and
dad are a lot nicer than his.

[Woman On P.A.] Miss
Jones, Reception, please.

Well, that's a pretty nice airplane
Penny brought you, isn't it? Mm-hmm.

Well, I'd say you're a pretty
lucky fella to have a friend like that.

Did you talk to her? A little.

Well, what'd she tell ya?

Oh, not much.

She did say that maybe you
didn't hurt your head in that fall.

She's wrong. I did.
Penny don't know.

Hey, Frankie.

- I thought Penny was your best friend.
- She's lying!

Penny's lying! Nobody hit
me! I swear! Nobody hit me!

- Oh, come on now, Frankie. Take it easy.
- I fell. I fell.

I did. You believe
me. I did fall.

All right. Okay.

That's the third
time he's done that.

All right, now
bring it back to me.

[Gage] Come on.
Bring it back. Come on.

Come on, Boot, bring
it back. Come on, boy.

Come on. Bring it here.

Boot, come here.
Bring it here. Boot!

You know, if you'd talk to him a little
nicer, maybe it would get you somewhere.

What, another pair
of pants chewed up?

Well, you shouldn't have
left them laying around.

Look, I am talking
nice to the dog.

All right, watch. Watch.

Come here, Boot.
Come on. Come on.

Okay now, boy. Come on, boy.

Come on, Boot. Come
here, boy. Come on.

Want me to be nice? Watch.

All right, Boot, we're
friends, right? Come on.

[Boot Barking]

Excuse me, Nurse? Yes.

Uh, I'm Mrs. Gentry. My husband asked
me to meet him here. Have you seen him?

No, but I'd like
to... very much.

Hmm?

Listen, uh, while we're waiting,
why don't we talk for a minute?

Well, what do you
wanna talk about?

Frankie's all right, isn't he?

- Is he?
- What do you mean?

You know perfectly
well what I mean.

Frankie's one very
frightened child.

And it's not from falling in
that hole, and we both know it.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Are you quite sure, Mrs. Gentry?

Look, Frankie may be
all the problem you have,

but as a nurse, I
see lots of them.

And yours isn't
all that different.

The world and this
hospital are full of Frankies.

And all for the same reason.

Because the one person who
could do something about it—

The one person the child has to depend
upon— didn't get the message in time.

It just isn't that
simple. I can't...

Where's Brackett? I
wanna see him right now.

He's in his office, in conference
with Dr. Early. I'll check for you.

Never mind.

[Woman On P.A., Indistinct]

Dr. Brackett?

That's right. I'm Russ
Gentry. This is my wife, Susan.

How do you do? What
can I do for you? Hello.

You can answer a few questions. Number
one, is Frankie all right, or is he not?

Yes, he's all right, as far as
his head injury is concerned.

Well, then why hasn't
he been released?

Would you please sit down?
We'd like to talk to both of you.

I have nothing to talk about.

Well, I do, Mr. Gentry.

No, no, no, no, you've
talked enough already.

I mean, Frankie's scared.
He's frightened to death.

And what's the idea of letting
that kid in there to see him?

Well, I thought he might like
to see a friend. Mrs. Gentry.

From what I can gather from
the records, you and Mr. Gentry

have been married for
three years. Is that right?

- Yes, three years last October.
- What's that got to do with anything?

We've done what you
might call a study, Mr. Gentry.

You see, we've checked with
most of the hospitals in the county.

Since almost three years ago, Frankie
has been admitted to five of them.

Funnel skull fracture.

Stated cause: Fell out of swing.

Six months later,
five broken ribs.

Stated cause: Fell in bathtub.

Eight months later, dislocated
shoulder. Multiple bruises.

Stated cause— Stop it, please!

- Susan.
- I'm sorry.

Look, those are
accidents just like it says.

Well, Frankie's just an
accident-prone kid. That's all.

Mr. Gentry, we're not
here to accuse anybody.

Now we have Frankie's
history and his X-rays.

The evidence speaks for itself.

- What we want is to help.
- Help?

What help? I told you, you
know, they were all accidents.

Well, tell 'em, Susan.

It's like Russ says, accidents.
They were all accidents.

Your son's welfare is at stake.

Do you understand
that, Mrs. Gentry?

I don't know what to tell
you. Th-They were accidents.

Yes, I'm sure of
that too, Mrs. Gentry.

Accidents that can be prevented.

You see, sometimes
parents lose their tempers,

and trauma is inflicted on a child
during periods of uncontrollable rage.

And with psychiatric help,
that rage can be controlled.

All we're asking is
that you let us help.

Russ?

No, no, no, no. You're
putting words into our mouths.

Nobody needs any psychiatric help
because there is no uncontrollable rage.

Now can't you get that
through your thick head?

All right, listen. We're going up to
Admissions. I'm gonna pay the bill.

When I get back, I want Frankie
dismissed and ready to go home with us.

All right? No, sir, he won't be.

Look, Doctor, I happen
to know that if we

wanna take that boy
home, you can't stop us.

No, I can't, but
the sheriff can.

There's a court order to
temporarily detain Frankie...

as a dependent child
being processed now.

Oh, that means I have
to get a lawyer, doesn't it?

[Early] I just hope the
evidence we have is enough, Kel.

The boy's future
may depend on it, Joe.

[Siren Wailing]

[Gage] Squad 51 at scene.

It's over there on
the side of the house.

I don't know what I'm
going to do with that boy.

Well, the dispatcher said
something about a kid trapped.

Yeah. The lookout for the sheriff's
posse really got himself fixed this time.

I'm stuck!

Yeah, so we can see. How did
you get your head in that hole?

It was easy. We were gonna
ambush the Clanton gang.

Ambush the Clanton gang, huh?

Okay.

Vaseline. I tried everything.

[Chuckles] Yes, ma'am.

- Think you can get me out?
- Well, there's no problem there.

It's just how to do it without this
whole house coming down on top of you.

If you do, my dad's really
gonna be mad at me.

Your mother already
is, Joey Parker.

I'm still a bit more
worried about my dad.

I know what he'll do if you
have to cut a hole in the house.

You do, huh? It'll be awful.

[Chuckles]

Well, we'll try not to do too
much damage to the house, okay?

- Porta Power?
- Yeah. Why don't we give it a try?

What's a Porta Power?

You see, a Porta Power
is a tool that we use...

that might keep your dad
from doing something awful.

Now you've gotta help us, Joey.

I want you to keep pulling out your head
while we keep pumpin' up the jacks, okay?

Okay.

It's getting
looser. I can feel it.

All right, try to pull
your head out then.

No, a little more.

It worked. It did.

Now come out from
under there, Joey Parker.

Nothing hurt, is it?
No, nothing's hurt.

But how about yourself?
You feeling all right?

Huh? Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I don't think your dad's
gonna give you a lickin' after all.

He would have done
more than spank me.

Oh, come on. Oh, yeah?

You ever had your minibike
locked up for a month?

[Whistles] A month.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Squad 51, in quarters.

You know, I think I'm
gonna write a book.

10,000 Ways a Kid
Can Get into Trouble.

It'll probably be a best seller.
[Kelly] I got a better book.

What now, Kelly?

10,000 Ways a Dog
Can Bug John Gage.

[Boot Growling]

Oh, no.

[Growling Continues]

You'll notice my bed is the
only one that's tracked up.

That means he
knows whose bed it is.

Why me? Well, I guess
he just doesn't like you.

- [Barking]
- I'm trying to get him to like me.

Well, maybe you're
trying too hard. [Barks]

Boot, you and I are
gonna start from scratch.

- Yeah.
- [Barks]

[Growling, Barking]

See? He doesn't like me.

It does kind of look that way.

[Whining]

Why don't you
treat me like that?

I've got it. What?

He doesn't like Indians.

[Whining]

How did you ever manage
to get it in there, Randy?

I was playing race car
driver, and it got stuck.

I thought race car drivers held on
to the outside of the steering wheel.

Yeah, well, I was
kind of fooling around.

Yeah, kinda fooling around.
Fooling around is right.

What do you think, Doc? Well, the
soap didn't work. Neither did the ice.

There's only one
thing left. Oh, no.

It's gotta be done.

You're not gonna cut
my finger off, are you?

No, worse, worse. My $75
steering wheel down the tubes.

Here, now don't let me hurt
you. There's no other way really.

All right. Let's
get it over with.

- Don't let me hurt you now, Randy.
- I'm sorry, Dad.

Me too.

[Woman On P.A.] Dr. Juan
Camacho. Dr. Juan Camacho.

I see you solved the
steering wheel problem.

I figure he went through all
that trouble to get it off the car,

the least I could do was to
get it off the kid. [Chuckles]

Papa didn't look too happy.

Yeah, and I've got a
hunch he'll be more

careful in the future
about locking his car.

[Woman On P.A.] Miss
McCall, Treatment Room 1.

Here comes someone else
that doesn't look too happy.

Joe. Hiya, Doc. Sergeant. Do you
have some news about Frankie?

Yeah, I just came back
from the D.A.'s office.

They won't go a felony charge against
either parent. Did they give you a reason?

Oh, yeah, best in the
world— Insufficient evidence.

There's just no way to prove which
parent has been knocking him around.

Well, it's pretty obvious
which one, isn't it?

Yeah, well, but proving it
in court is something else.

[Sighs] Look, let's
have a cup of coffee.

I could stand one. Didn't your
investigation turn anything up?

Doc, the Sherlock Holmes
bit is strictly for comic books.

Sit down. I'll get the
coffee. I need witnesses.

People to testify. If they don't
cooperate, we don't have a case.

What about the mother?

Well, it's the same old story.

The old man brings home the bread, and
she's not about to chance cutting it off.

- And the boy's left helpless?
- I talked to Frankie until I was blue.

He's scared. Loves his mother.

And there's nothing that's gonna
convince him to testify against Gentry.

- So that's it. Case closed.
- No, not quite.

We can't get the
parents into court.

But there is one chance
left for Frankie—juvenile court.

Section 600 of the Welfare
and Institutions Code...

gives the court authority
to make him a ward.

Uh, as a dependent child.

It's the only way I can see to
keep Frankie away from Gentry.

- Well, how do we do that?
- Petition's been filed.

Scheduled hearing is at
9:00 tomorrow morning.

The rest, well,
most of it's up to you.

- The diagnosis.
- That's all we've got, Doc.

I hope you're convincing.

This is your subpoena.

And radiologic examination plays two
main roles in the problem of child abuse.

Uh, initially, it's a
tool for case finding.

Subsequently, it's useful
as a guide in management.

Thank you, Doctor.

Now, Doctor, in your experience,

what is the most common type of
injury found in child abuse cases?

I object to the
question, Your Honor.

There's been no foundation laid
as to the witness's qualifications.

I would like to remind counsel
that this is a civil proceeding...

concerned with the
welfare of a child.

Now I will not tolerate any
bantering back and forth.

Dr. Brackett's background
has been sufficiently described,

and the court will recognize
his testimony as expert.

Proceed, Dr. Brackett.

Thank you, Your Honor.

It's been my experience
that the ease and frequency...

with which a child is
seized by the arms or legs...

makes injuries to the appendicular
skeleton the most common in this syndrome.

Doctor, did you find evidence
of exactly these injuries...

in the radiologic
examination? Yes, I did.

[Lawyer] Would you
describe your findings, please?

There was evidence
of reparative changes...

and excessive new bone
reaction in both his arms and legs.

- An indication of
extremely rough handling.
- Thank you, Doctor.

We rest, Your Honor.

Counsel.

Dr. Brackett,

you said that these findings
indicated extremely rough handling.

I did. Is it possible that they
might indicate something else?

Something such as, uh, a scurvy,

or perhaps an early history
of osteogenesis imperfecta,

or any number of
other things, Doctor?

It's possible, but in
this case not likely.

Not likely, Doctor?

Would you like to
explain your speculation?

Well, in viewing the
totality of Frankie's history...

and the frequency of his
so-called accidental injuries...

and the circumstances
surrounding his most recent accident,

it's my opinion that the radiologic
examination is supportive of injuries...

that usually occur in the metaphyseal
regions of the battered child syndrome.

That's very well stated, Doctor.

How far back did you look
to find his medical history?

As far as I could, three years.

Just three years,
Doctor. Now, is it possible,

had you looked further and found a history
of blue sclerae— skeletal deformities...

Or perhaps an early family
history of similar abnormalities,

you might have had second thoughts
before rendering such an opinion?

- It's possible,
but I found no evidence of that.
- Did you look?

There was no way to
locate earlier records.

Did you ask his parents?

- No, they were uncooperative.
- Were they uncooperative, Doctor,

or merely resentful
of your accusations.

I made no— Accusations, Doctor,

inferences that
they beat their child.

Drummed-up speculations,
none of which have been

sustained by any witness
in this courtroom today.

Now, a boy accidentally
falls into a posthole,

witnessed by half
a dozen people.

The posthole is eight
feet deep, but you

choose to speculate
that his parents beat him?

A boy, by this very act, demonstrates
that he's extremely prone to accidents.

And you choose to twist
other similar accidents...

to accuse his parents that either
one or the other have beaten him.

No, Doctor, I submit
that you have accused...

with no basis for fact.

- My test— - I have no
other questions, Your Honor.

You may, uh, step
down, Dr. Brackett.

Call your next witness, counsel.

Uh, I would like to call Frankie
Stewart to the stand, Your Honor.

Frankie, how did
you hurt your head?

I—I fell.

- Where did you fall?
- In— In the hole outside my house.

Hmm.

Now, this is a very
important question.

Did you mother or
stepfather ever hurt you?

- No, sir.
- We rest, Your Honor.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

You may return
to your seat, son.

In light of the evidence—
[Clears Throat] presented,

especially the
testimony of Frankie,

I, uh—I have no choice but to
find that he is not a person...

described by Section 600 of
the Welfare and Institutions Code.

Therefore, it is the
order of this court...

that the petition be dismissed and
the minor be discharged to his parents.

Court is recessed.

Mrs. Gentry, if you
ever need our help...

Yeah. Let's go home, Frankie.

Come on. Come on,
try it. Lick it. Come on.

- What are you doing anyway?
- It's a gesture of friendship.

Come on, try it.
It's good. Try it.

Come on. Just
take it. Lick it. Lick it.

Here, let me try.

Okay, Boot.

10-4, Squad 51.

Copter 10 reports fire
burning in your direction.

Advises caution in Box Canyon.

Squad 51, 10-4.

Are you hurt badly? No,
it's just my ankle. I twisted it.

I want you to sit down
here. There you go.

Don't worry about it. I can't find my
friend Chuck. I know he's hurt bad.

I'm not sure. We were hiking,
and I was quite a bit ahead of him.

I heard him scream.

I went back and looked all over the
place for him, and then I twisted my ankle.

Well, can you guess where he is?

Somewhere along
this stretch of road. I...

The only thing I can think is he
fell into the canyon somewhere.

All right. Look, I'll
start looking for him.

[Dispatcher] Assistant 3,
10-4 on the additional engines.

We'll check on Copter 3.

We're gonna conduct a
search for him. 10-4, Squad 51.

We'll dispatch assistance.
[Hiker] That fire?

- It's coming this way.
- Well, maybe.

- Uh, the wind can always shift again.
- What are the chances?

Oh, there's no telling.

[Barking]

Hey, Johnny.

Come on. Get inside there.

What? It's Boot. I think
he found something.

[Barking] [Doors Close]

It's Chuck's! I'm sure of it.

[Whining]

This is his? Yeah.

Hey, there he is.

Well, we'd better get
the rappelling gear.

Nice boy, Boot. [Whines]

- Nice job.
- L.A., Squad 51.

We've located the
hiker at Saddle Peak.

We're gonna have to rappel
down to the canyon bottom.

We're gonna need help

Also, we're gonna
need an ambulance.

10-4, Squad 51. Truck
43 has been dispatched.

E.T.A. five minutes.

We will request an ambulance.

Hey, can I do anything?
No. Uh, yeah, look.

When the truck company comes, have
them lower this stuff to us, all right?

- Yeah, sure.
- L.A., what's the fire status?

No change, Squad 51.
L.A., clear. KME-896.

Let's move it over
there. All right.

[Dispatcher] 10-4, Battalion 14.

Battalion 6, Battalion 14 requests
you respond to Larkspur Road...

and take the north flank.

[Radio Chatter]

Man, I never thought
anybody would find me here.

- Is there anything wrong with you
beside that leg there?
- Yeah, my shoulder.

Let's see.

Rampart, this is Rescue 51.

51, this is Rampart. Go ahead.

Rampart, we have an injured
hiker. Male, 16 years old.

He has a fractured leg and
probable dislocated shoulder.

We're proceeding
to immobilize now.

10-4, 51.

[Footsteps Approaching]

Kel, it's Frankie. His father...

Oh, he's in bad shape.
Get Joe Early for me.

51's on a rescue. Take
their transmission. All right.

[Sobbing]

10-4, 51. Stand by.

They have an injured
16-year-old hiker,

fractured leg, possible
shoulder dislocation.

They're immobilizing both.

Rampart to Rescue 51.

- Go ahead, Rampart.
- Rescue 51, is patient in pain?

If so, we'll authorize shot.

10-4, Rampart.

How about it, Chuck?

I'll skip the drugs.

[Radio Chatter]
Well, you lie still.

We'll—We'll have you
outta here in a shake.

[Radio Chatter]

[Dispatcher] Engine
9, Squad 9, Squad 209.

Rampart, Rescue 51.

Go ahead, 51.
Rescue is complete.

Stand by for further
transmission when we get topside.

10-4, 51. We'll stand by.

[Sobbing] He just
hit him and hit him.

I couldn't do anything.

I thought after the
court, he'd be scared.

I should have told the truth.

But I was afraid to. I kept
thinking that I couldn't leave him...

'cause we got no place to go.

We got nobody.

But this time... I'm
gonna tell the truth.

And I'm not going back to him.

Frankie and me will manage.

Somehow we'll make it.

I know we will.

[DeSoto On Radio] Rampart,
Rescue 51. Go ahead, 51.

Rescue 51, the accident victims
are en route to your location.

The E.T.A. is about 20 minutes.

10-4, 51.

Well, we've got some
pretty good news.

They've got a line
completely around the fire now.

Oh, well, that's the best
thing I've heard all day.

[Sniffles] [Sighs]

Where's Boot?

I don't know.

[Gage] Here, Boot.
Boot. Come on, Boot.

Hey, wait a minute. Wait
a minute. You got our dog.

Hey!

[Whistles] Come here,
Boot. Boot, come on, Boot.

Come on, boy. That-a-boy.

I think, uh— I think
Boot deserted us.

Well, I guess he figures that,
uh, snorkels are more exciting.

[Scoffs, Chuckles] Yeah, well,

I guess maybe he's got a point.

I mean, if I were a dog, I'd
certainly think that a snorkel...

was a heck of a lot
more exciting than this.

I mean, I remember
when I was a kid.

Yeah, I sure wanted to be up
on that big engine, ridin' around.

You know what I really wanted to
be? I mean, what I really wanted to be?

I wanted to be a
tillerman. A tillerman.

You know, up there on
that big engine, steering it.

And having everybody
look at me and everything.

Well, I guess if a kid— if a kid
could want that, so could a dog.

I mean, dogs and kids,
they're an awful lot alike.

I mean, they have a
lot of things in common.

I mean, picture Boot
up there in that cage.

There he is with the— The
wind is blowing through his fur.

And he's barkin' and everybody else
is hollerin'. And everybody else is...

[Chuckles]
