[ Tires Screeching ]

Johnny, can you get the O..

He came out from
between the parked cars.

I locked my brakes, and
then he fell off his bicycle...

and just started rolling
around on the ground.



I swear, I didn't hit him. It
looked like I did, but I didn't.

He's having trouble
breathing, and no, uh,

no broken bones, no
apparent head injuries.

Son, can you talk at all?

Can you feel anything?
Yeah, I think so. Sit him up.

[Sighs] Bubble gum.

Must've swallowed it
when he fell off his bike.

Better get the O, on him. You're gonna
be all right now. You're gonna be okay.

I didn't hit him. I swear it.

- We know you didn't, ma'am.
- Is he gonna be all right?

Yeah, he's got a
few bruises, that's all.

Can I have your name, ma'am?

Janet Caldwell.

Your address,
please. 416 Amherst.



Is this gonna go on my insurance
record? No, ma'am, this is for our records.

You just sit back.

How you doin'? Okay, I think.

You wanna try to
stand up? I guess so.

[DeSoto ] Anything hurt?

Just my elbow. I
think I skinned it.

Yeah, well, I think
I can fix that up.

Uh, if it's all right,
I’d like to go home.

This isn't gonna hurt. See?

It's cold.

I'm okay. You don't
have to put anything on it.

Well, see, I have to, or I get a
bad mark on my report card. Oh.

- What's your name, son?
- Tommy Johnson.

Uh, where do you live, Tommy?

308 Saltee. Why do
you have to know that?

Well, just so our boss knows we're working
here and not goofing off some place.

Oh.

[DeSoto ] How old
are you, Tommy?

Ten and a half. Can l go now?

Now, just hang on for a second.
[Woman] What happened?

Oh, boy.

Tommy, what's the
matter? What's wrong?

There's nothing wrong,
ma'am. Are you his mother?

Yes, yes. Well, what happened?
He just fell off his bike. He'll be okay.

He rode out between two parked
cars. I had to jam on my brakes.

He's all right. Don't
worry about him.

- You ran out between two parked cars?
- Oh, Mom!

How many times have I
told you never to do that?

Now, Tommy Johnson, you take that bicycle
and you get home as fast as you can.

You wait till your father gets
here. Come on. Get moving.

Hurry up before I get a switch.

Goon! I think we'd
better, uh, stick around.

Why? "Cause I think he's
gonna need some more first aid.

It's all right if you leave now,
Miss Caldwell. [Grunting ]

Quick! Get the drug
box! [ Siren Blaring ]

Looks like she's passed out.
Looks like a seizure of some sort.

I'll get her pulse.

Rate's 100.

Johnny?

She's an epileptic.

[Siren Blaring ]

[Gage On Radio]
Rampart, this is Rescue 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a female,
approximately 28 years old.

Apparent epileptic
seizure. She has an I.D. tag.

51, start an I.V. with D5W.

10-4, Rampart.

What is she doing driving
a car if she's an epileptic?

Well, lots of epileptics drive cars, ma'am,
as long as they've got a medical permit.

What happens if she passes
out while she's driving?

She didn't pass out
while she was driving.

It was after a severe
emotional trauma. Hold the I.V.

[ think she's coming around.

How are you feeling, ma'am?

I did it, didn't 1?

Yeah, it kind of looks that way.
Did you take your medication today?

I was in such a
rush to get to the...

It sounds so silly—
To the beauty shop...

I forgot.

This is the first time in nearly 10
years. I suppose I'll lose my license now.

Maybe not. It was
a very mild seizure.

Plus, you didn't
take your medication.

But we're gonna take you to the hospital
and have the doctors look you over, okay?

Whatever you say.

[ I Radio Chatter ]

Put him in 3. Page Dr. Brackett.

[Woman on P.A. ]
Dr. Baker, report to Surgery.

Oh, John.

Please do something.

Why don't you wait outside?

Come on. He's gonna
die. I don't wanna leave him.

Come on, honey.

It's my fault he was shot.

Oh, please, don't let him die.

Nobody's gonna let him die.

I'll let you know as soon
as he's stabilized. Okay?

[Woman on P.A. ] Dr. Barnes,
go to the Emergency entrance.

Dr. Barnes, 80 to the
Emergency entrance.

What do we got, Dix?

Multiple gunshot wounds.

What's his B.P.? 100 over 60.

Let's get that I.V.
started. Draw blood.

Cross-match and type for
five units of whole blood.

I'll get the bloods.

Wounds: right lateral abdomen,
upper right arm, right thigh.

- Can you hear me?
- Yes.

- What's your name?
- John Power.

- How old are you, Mr. Power?
- I'm 23.

Do you know what
you were shot with?

A 22, I think.

- It was a small gun.
- Do you know who shot you?

Bill.

But I don't know why.

I don't know why.
Who is Bill, Mr. Power?

My father-in-law. But why?

Why?

We got married yesterday.

Don't you worry about it right now.
We're gonna get you patched up.

My wife—Is she here?

You mean that good-looking
young lady outside the door?

With a ribbon in her hair?

With a ribbon in her hair.

She always wears
a ribbon in her hair.

Mr. Power, we're going to
turn you over on your side.

Okay? All done.

Get me a swab, Sally.

Easy, now.

Are you in much pain?

My thigh.

How does your stomach feel?

- Numb.
- The wound is through and through.

We're gonna take care
of that pain, Mr. Power.

We'll need X-rays, Dix—
Abdomen, right arm, right thigh.

Mrs. Power? How's my husband?

Well, he's conscious, and his
vital signs are relatively stable.

It's all my fault.

I didn't wanna get married
just because I was pregnant.

I didn't wanna get
a husband that way.

Your husband said you
got married yesterday.

But he talked me into it.

I didn't want to, but
he talked me into it.

-I don't see— - Don't
you understand?

[Sighs] My father didn't
know we were married.

So all this time, he
thought it was Johnny...

who didn't wanna get
married, but it was me.

And so he got drunk,
and he shot him.

Now my father's going to prison,
and my husband's going to die.

Mrs. Power, please, try
to relax and listen to me.

We're going to send your husband
upstairs and have those bullets removed.

Barring any complications,
he should be on his

feet in about a week.
You're not just saying that?

No, I’m not just saying that.

I'm sorry about your father,

but the courts take all
things into consideration.

I don't think it'll be
as bad as you think.

Can I, um— Can I see
him before you operate?

For a minute.

[Stanley] L.A., Engine
51. Fire under control.

Return other units.
Engine 51 out 15 minutes.

[ Dispatcher] Engine 51.

What'd Joanne want?

Oh, uh— Johnny, uh, would you...

What are you doin'
tomorrow night?

I don't know. Goin' up to Santa
Barbara, I guess. I don't know.

Would you like to
have dinner with us?

What, just the three
of us? Well, not exactly.

My wife's cousin's in
town for a couple days.

Yeah? What does your
wife's cousin look like?

Well, actually, I
haven't met her. Uh-huh.

No, really, she's— She's
supposed to be really something.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Just like, uh— Just
like the last one?

Oh, I'm—1"m sorry
about that last time.

I swear. I mean, I had
no idea that she was...

A dog. But she did
have a good personality.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, she did. Yeah, I
know. I know. She did.

She had a great personality.

Well, I said I’d
ask, so, uh, I asked.

[Alarm Blaring ]

[ Dispatcher] Squad
51, man down.

10626 Ellis Avenue.

10626 Ellis Avenue.
Cross street Oak.

Time out 1207.

[Stanley] Squad
51, 10-4. KMG-365.

[Siren Blaring ]

Uh, miss, we'd like to
see a doctor. Miss McCall?

Miss McCall, this lacy—
It's my sister here, miss.

It's her hand. Oh, Amy, please.

Elizabeth, now, you promised
me. Now, it's for your own good.

Um, she won't go to her own
doctor. She can't even drive a car.

Page Dr. Early.

Come on.

Paging Dr. Early.
Paging Dr. Early.

Dr. Morton?

Can you help me with
this lady? Sure. Come on.

- Can you feel that?
- No, sir.

- Now?
- No, sir.

- I can feel that.
- Dix?

I'll need to do an arteriogram.

Will you check to see how
soon an X-ray room is available?

Right away. Why
don't you lie back?

- How long has this condition
been present, Mrs. Anderson?
- Not very long.

- At the very first sign,
you should've contacted your doctor.
- I was afraid.

But don't try to con me now.

I know all about
trying to escape reality.

- Tell me the truth.
- You have gangrene.

I'm going to do an arteriogram.

That is I'm going to
inject dye into an artery.

An %-ray to check the flow
of blood through the vessels.

That'll show us the
extent of the damage.

Gangrene? But that's absurd.

I’m afraid it's a side
effect of drug addiction.

I'm not an addict.

You do take barbiturates, don't
you? What's that got to do with it?

Well, some addicts, when they
need a barbiturate to calm them down,

they'll dissolve the
powder in water and inject it.

St that what you did? Goon.

If the injection gets into an
artery by mistake, as in your case,

it can burn the
line in the artery...

and keep the blood from
circulating in the hand.

- The fingers are affected first.
- What are my chances, Doctor?

I think we can keep
it from advancing.

We can't repair the
damage already done.

[ Siren Blaring ]

[Woman] Hey, get
out of here! Come on.

This is not new. You've
all seen him before.

Well, go on! Get out of here!

[ Officer] All right, folks, you
wanna let 'em by, please?

Excuse me.

What's the problem? Seems like
he's had a little too much to drink.

- He's drunk. He's always been a drunk.
- [ DeSoto ] What happened, ma'am?

He passed out.
That's what happened.

For the hundredth time.

/saw him staggering up the
steps, and! locked the door.

And he just fell, right
there where you see him.

Do you have any idea how
long he's been drinking?

How in the world
could [ tell you that?

I never see the man except
when he's ready to fall down...

or if he needs money.

Fourteen years.
Oh, it's been too long.

I've had it too. This is
the— the end of the line.

Has he had any
illnesses, like, uh,

diabetes or liver problems?

What other problems?
He's an alcoholic.

[ Can't take it anymore.

Why don't you just get him out of
here and let the county take care of him?

There's no money left
here. There's nothin'.

I don't wanna see him again.

He's been a hard road to me.
He's done nothin' but hurt me and...

Do you know what it's like
to go down and stand in line...

and just beg for welfare?

- What'd you get?
- 130 and thready.

I got 50 systolic and nothing.

- Rampart, this is Rescue 51.
- Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a male,
45. Apparent alcoholic.

- He's unconscious.
- What are his vital signs?

Vital signs are
B.P. 50 and systolic.

Pulse 130 and
thready. EKG. to follow.

Transmit when ready. 10-4.

[ Whirring ]

51, start L.V. D5W.

Add 100 milligrams metaraminol.

10-4.

I can't find a vein. I
can't get the I.V. started.

Nothing?

No. I'm fishing around for it.
There's absolutely nothing here.

Hand me that tourniquet.
Let's try on this arm.

- Did you call an ambulance?
- It's on its way.

Well, take him to the county.
That's where he always ends up.

Nothing on this one either.
The veins have collapsed.

Yeah, looks like he's been cut for an I.V.
before. Man, we can't get anything here.

Yeah, three times he's
been to the hospital,

you know, and it
didn't do him any good.

He goes right back
on the booze again.

Well, this time, they're
gonna take him and keep him.

He's not gonna come back here
and start knocking me around again.

You wanna go for the
neck? Yeah, we'd better.

Rampart, this is Rescue 51.

Rampart, we can't raise a vein.

We'd like to, uh, go for a jugular
stick. 51, proceed with a jugular stick.

10-4.

What do you keep
doin' all that for?

The last time, they just hauled him
away. He can sleep it off in the hospital.

Yeah, I know, ma'am, but we think
he's in pretty bad shape right now.

Well, that's what he wanted.

If he didn't want that, he
wouldn't have kept drinkin'.

I never held his head and
forced him to take a drink.

Did I ever do that? Huh? Do you ever
remember me telling him to take a drink?

- No, Ma.
- No. He's just a lush.

[ Siren Blaring ] Oh, if I only
had the money he spent on booze.

Just a dime for every bottle.

Can you get it? It's tough
gettin' one in here too.

There it is. I got it.

[ Officer ] All right, folks.
You're gonna have to

back up, please, and let
the ambulance people in.

He's all ready to go. All
right. Looks pretty yellow.

I'll take the head. He's
got an I.V. in his neck.

Anything I can do? Yeah,
can you take the O2?

Sure.

Watch it. Grab it. [DeSoto
] I got the biophone.

Okay.

- This guy looks pretty yellow.
- Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

Jenny.

Oh, Daddy, I love you.

It's gonna be all right.
It's gonna be all right.

They're gonna take him to
the hospital and make him well.

He's gonna die! He's gonna die!

Oh, Daddy, I love you.

Bye, Daddy.

Come on, Jenny.
Come on. Now, stop this.

[ Siren Blaring ]

What's the story on Conroy?

Oh, they're working on him now.

Dr. Early thinks he's
in a hepatic coma.

Man, that's rough.
What about the little girl?

She knew. Somehow, she knew.

I can't hold you. Help
me, somebody! Please!

Let's have a gurney out here!

Okay. Step right out of the way.

Okay, we got her.

What's wrong? She's
taken something.

Do you know what? Um... These.

Take her to 2.

How many? Four.

She only took four.
They look like street reds.

But that's dope, isn't
it? Yes, it's a drug.

You'd better come with me.
The doctor'll wanna talk to you.

I suspected for a long time
she might be taking something.

I thought— I thought
she was drinking.

We keep liquor in the
house like everybody.

I never could smell anything
on her breath though.

Sometimes at night, she'd come
home acting drunk though, and sleepy.

Blood pressure's 100 over 60.

Pulse is 110.

Draw blood for a barbiturate
level. Start an .V. with D5W.

Then today, when I came
home, she was crying

and complaining that
her stomach ached.

When she started
screaming, I brought her in

here. I made her show
me what she'd taken.

I've sent up the
pills to be analyzed.

What do they look
like? Street reds.

We'd better get an
N.G. tube down her.

I've already set
up for it. Good.

I guess I should've known
that something was the matter...

when her grades
started slipping.

She was always a good student.

Doctor, four pills— I mean,
that's not too many, is it?

Lots of times, I've taken two
sleeping pills without any bad effect.

I mean, four pills
isn't too many, is it?

Is it, Doctor? She's got
blood in her stomach.

Mrs. Patterson, has your
daughter ever had stomach

problems before? Like
constant indigestion?

No, nothing. What's
the matter with her?

This isn't just a drug overdose.

Get those bloods
analyzed. Cross-match and

type for at least five
units for a transfusion.

[Dixie ] Right away. [ Buzzing ]

Dr. Brackett.

Sodium hydroxide.

All right, thank you.

Mrs. Patterson.

That was the lab,
Mrs. Patterson.

They've analyzed what
was in the capsules she took.

What? They were cut
with sodium hydroxide.

Sodium hydroxide?

Uh, caustic soda,

like they use for cleaning
stopped-up drains.

Oh, my God! Why?

Who knows?

Maybe somebody was trying to get
even with her for something she did.

- But that's practically murder.
- We'll notify the police.

She's going to be all
right though, isn't she?

We won't know that
for at least 24 hours.

Why not?

We're going to have to
stabilize her with a blood

transfusion and see if we
can stop the internal bleeding.

If we can't, we'll have
to perform surgery.

Oh, my God!

Why don't you have a
seat in the waiting room?

[Gage] Squad 51 in quarters.

Want some coffee?

Sounds good.

You know Charlie's
number by any chance?

Charlie... Hagen on “B” shift?

Yeah, I thought I’d ask him if he
wants to come to dinner with us.

I never said I wouldn't come.

How much does she weigh?

Look, I told you.
I've never seen her.

Oh, for heaven's sake.
Look, she can't be all that bad.

She happens to be
a professional model.

Oh!

Are you kiddin”
me? She's a model?

[Alarm Blaring ]
Are you kiddin” me?

Cross street Main.
Time out 1540.

Station 51, 10-4. KMG-365.

[Sirens Blaring ]

He's alive. Let's get him out of
this car, so I can work on him.

Mike, give me a hand.

[Groans ] He's gotta weigh
300 pounds. Yeah, you know it.

We'd better ventilate him.
He's having trouble breathing.

- I'll get it.
- Cap, you wanna get the pulse?

You got it.

- You got a count?
- I'm only getting 40, Roy, and it's weak.

What are you
getting? 75 systolic.

Rampart Base, this is Rescue 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a male
patient, approximately 50-55.

He's very obese.
Comatose, slightly cyanotic.

He's got labored breathing.

Vital signs are blood
pressure 75 systolic.

Pulse rate is 40 and weak.

Uh, there's no response to pain.

We're hooking up for an
E.K.G. transmit right now.

51, start an I.\V.,
one liter D5W.

10-4, Rampart.

Why don't we take
a look at the E.K.G.?

- Rampart Base, Rescue 51.
- Go ahead.

We're ready to
transmit that E.K.G.

- Standing by, 51.
- 10-4, Rampart.

[ Whirring ]

51, what was that pulse again?

Uh, 40.

51, 1"m seeing an electrical
spike at the rate of 80.

Check the patient
for a pacemaker.

- Stand by, Rampart.
- Pacemaker?

He's got a pacemaker
right here on the side.

It's hard to see
with all this fat.

Here's a pacemaker spike. I
couldn't see it "cause of sunlight.

Rampart, it's affirmative on that
pacemaker. It's right on the side.

51, apparently
pacemaker failure.

Administer C.P.R. Two
milligrams isopreteranol to the I.V.

10-4, Rampart. We're gonna administer
C.P.R. We're preparing the isopreteranol.

[ Siren Blaring ]

All right, he's getting
his color back up.

The isopreteranol's
working. Let me get a pulse.

Sixty-five.

Rampart Base, the pulse is 65.
Do you want us to continue C.P.R.?

Negative, 51. The patient should
hold till you get him to the hospital.

10-4, Rampart.
I'll ride in with him.

Exactly what seems to
be the trouble, Mr. Dondon?

Uh, well, my arms—
What about your arms?

Well, they seem to be
kind of slow, you know. Stiff.

I, uh—It's like I say, “Arms,
reach for something.”

And then I reach for
something, and it's slow.

It's, uh— It's slow.
Do you feel any pain?

Um, yeah. Yeah, but it's not like you
could say, “Wow, my arm really hurts.”

You know, nothing like that.

[Groans ] Does that hurt?

[Groans ]

Yeah, like, uh, cramps.

Try to sit up as
straight as you can.

- I am sitting up straight.
- No. You're bent over on one side.

You mean, like
this? Does that hurt?

Well, it's like I told you, I got
cramps. You know what I mean?

It's, uh, like, uh— What's
wrong with me, Doc?

I don't know yet. What was
the first thing you noticed?

I mean, besides the stiffness?

Uh, I was uptight
a lot, you know?

I was yelling at
my old lady, and...

You know, all the things you do
when you're coming down with a cold.

- Have you had a cold?
- Uh...

Well, I got all the usual
jazz, you know. A sore throat.

- You find it hard to swallow?
- Yeah.

Yeah, like— Well, it's not
like it's sore or anything.

But it's like— And
my jaws hurt too.

Do you mind taking
off your jacket?

What? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Have you had any injuries
lately? What do you mean?

Anything that might've
broken the skin?

No, man, I've never been hurt.
I've never been hurt in my whole life.

When was the last
time you shot up?

You got me wrong, man. I
don't do that. Mr. Dondon...

This is a scar from an injection. I
know, I know. I had a tooth out last week.

I got terrible trouble with my
teeth. What's your doctor's name?

Um, Dr., uh— [ Chuckles ]

Um, I can't—I can't
remember. It's this doctor.

I can't remember. Mr. Dondon,
let's not play games with each other.

I'm not a policeman.
I'm a doctor.

You came here because you're
very sick, and you've asked

me to help you. I can, but
only if you tell me the truth.

I don't understand what
that has to do with whether

or not I shot up, or even
if I do that, you know?

- I suspect you have early tetanus.
- Tetanus!

- You mean, lockjaw?
- I mean exactly that.

I thought you got
that stuff off rusty nails.

Or a dirty needle.

When was it, about three
and a half weeks ago?

Oh, wow. At a party with
everyone passing it around?

Yeah, yeah, I guess
that's how it was, yeah.

Have him admitted to I.C.U. Give him 6,000
units of human tetanus antitoxin I.M...

and a million units of
procaine penicillin .M.

- Yes, Doctor.
- Hey, Doc?

- Tetanus— That's a bummer, isn't it?
- Yeah. That's a bummer.

- Am I gonna die?
- Not if we can help it.

Hey, Doc, I’m only 25 years old.

I know. I've got
something to tell you.

You're going to get a lot
sicker before you get better.

I want you to start your
medication immediately.

I'll take care of him, Doctor.

Well, okay.

Okay what?

Okay what? What have we been
talking about ever since Joanne called?

I just asked you over for dinner,
and there was an extra girl.

I didn't ask you to go out on
any date. All right, I know. I know.

And I’m gonna
come to dinner. I will.

Sure you wanna come?
What's the matter with you?

Have you invited
somebody else already?

You know, you're really too much.
No, I just wanna be sure that you're sure,

because I don't need you changing
your mind on me in the last minute.

All right, I'm sure. And
if she turns out to have

a lousy personality or
something, don't blame me.

All right, I won't. I've told you
everything I know about her.

Okay, I understand.
Come by at 7:00.

All right. I'll be there.

[Siren Blaring ]

[Woman] Help!

What happened? We
were draining the pool.

She was supposed to be
playing in the apartment.

I went to the store.
And when I came back,

I went to look for her
and heard her crying.

Her arm is stuck, and
I can't get it out. Ow!

I’m sorry. She must've dropped her
doll down here and then went in after it.

Don't worry now. We're
gonna get you out. Ow!

It's too tight.

Cap, it's no good. I think, uh—I
think her arm is swollen inside.

Okay, Mike, you and Marco
get our pump off the rig. Okay.

Chet, you wanna trade
places with the mother?

Let him take over, okay? Mom?

It'll be all right, Kathy,
honey. I'll be right here, okay?

Watch her arm. Don't
let her fall back too far.

Easy. Okay, honey.

Breathe.

She's having bronchial
spasms. She has asthma.

Pulse is about 105. [ Stanley ] John,
will some blankets do you any good?

Uh, yeah, Cap, I think they would.
Listen, can you bring the oxygen?

You got it.

Rampart, this is Rescue 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a little girl,
approximately seven years old.

She has her arm caught
in a swimming pool drain.

She has a history of asthma. She now
appears to be having a bronchial spasm.

What are the vitals, 517

Uh, hold on for vital signs.

Roy, what's her
B.P.? Ninety over 60.

Rampart, vital signs are
B.P. 90 over 60. Pulse 105.

Respiration 35. We're
starting oxygen on her now.

10-4, 51,

If parents are there for
approval, start I.V. D5W.

Also, give her three-tenths of a C.C.
of epinephrine injected subcutaneously.

10-4. Kelly, you
wanna take this mask?

[ Whirring ]

What's her name? Kathy.

All right, Kathy, I'm
gonna give you something

that's gonna make your
breathing much easier.

Just like Dr. Batory gives you for
your asthma, honey. Just like that.

Okay, lay your arm straight
across your stomach.

There we go.

There. That didn't
hurt, did it? Okay, Roy.

Then after the fire,
this little girl brought

her little pet parakeet
out in a cage.

And his feet were standing straight up,
and he was on the bottom of that cage.

He breathed too much smoke.
So you know what we did?

Took that oxygen mask and
put it right over that little guy.

And in a couple of minutes,
breathing that oxygen,

he just stood up
and started whistlin'.

Loved it. Didn't hurt, huh?

We'd better do something fast
before that arterial flow is cut off.

What about getting a doctor out here? To
do what? The problem is to get her arm out.

You know, I'd be willing
to bet that drain pipe

makes a 90-degree turn
right under the concrete.

And? I say we get the
K-12, saw her out of the pool.

You can get that pipe off her
arm at the hospital, can't you?

Yeah, well, we certainly can't
do anything the way we are now.

All right. Marco, get the
K-12, and bring extra blades.

[Marco] All right, Captain.
We'll be right over there, okay?

Ma'am, please.

[ Saw Powering On]

Get a new blade, Mike.

How you doin', tiger?

My arm sure hurts. You're
gonna be all right, honey.

Listen, Cap, the only way
we're gonna be able to do this...

is to hold her straight up so we
don't really hurt her arm. Right.

Don't worry. It'll be all right.

Kathy, we’re gonna
have to hold you straight

up so that we can cut
around your arm, okay?

Okay. All right,
let's get goin'.

'If watch this side. Why don't
you grab that blanket, Johnny?

Pass that over here, John. Hold
your arm down at your side, Kathy.

Let me get her head. All right.

I think that epi's
beginning to wear off.

Yeah, we'd better start
doing this thing now.

Are you covering me? Yeah.

[DeSoto ] Have you
got her? [ Kelly] Yeah.

Watch your arm.

[ Saw Powering On]

I’m through! Okay.

Okay, Kelly.

Easy, now.

[Gage] Watch out for your
arm. Don't move your arm.

Here, let me have
that screwdriver. Okay.

Can you get it off? It's comin'.

Okay, I gotta get
by here. All right.

Okay. Easy. Real easy.

Bring her out of the pool. Easy.

Okay, hold it.

[ Chattering ]

Mama? Boy, that was
really something, wasn't it?

Okay, honey? Yes.

Johnny, squirt
around the edge again.

Kathy, can you feel
anything in your hand?

It's like it's not
there anymore.

That's because of the
medicine we gave you.

Okay, let's do it.
Keep the oil squirting.

Mommy? I’m right here, honey.

Listen, it's all right.
It's off. They got it off.

Nice job, Joe. Well, like they
say, you can't lose 'em all.

Yeah, well, I wish we could say
the same thing for the Patterson girl.

She the one that took those
reds laced with sodium hydroxide?

Yeah, that's right. Looks like they're
gonna have to do a subtotal gastrectomy.

She'll be lucky if she keeps
one third of her stomach.

Thank you. That's rough.

They know how it
happened? Mm-hmm.

The police turned up
a classmate of hers.

She was mad because the Patterson
girl was making a play for her boyfriend.

Thought she'd
teach her a lesson.

Drugs. That's three rough
cases we've had today.

One's going to lose a chunk of
her stomach, another, her hand,

and a third may lose his life.

- You think they'll ever learn?
- Oh, they learn, all right, Joe.

Mostly, when it's too late.

[ Whistling ]

Good morning,
troops. Good morning.

Are you guys mad
about something?

He is. I'm not.

- Well, what's his problem?
- My wife's cousin.

I fixed him up with
her for dinner last night.

And she turned out to be
a dog, right? Never fails.

As a matter of fact, she
turned out to be a real doll.

- Well, then what is he mad about?
- He struck out as usual.

Well, that's tough. But
how come it's your fault?

That's right.

How did it turn out to be
my fault that you struck out?

I never said it was your fault.

Well, then why
are you mad at me?

All right. You wanna
know why I'm mad at you?

I mean, do you...

- Well?
- Don't rush me.

I’m tryin' to figure it out.
