Let's have a real line on this gas.
He's got a pretty good cut on his head.
I don't think he feels it though.
Mister, can you hear me?
I hear lots of things.
What's your name?
What's it to you?
I got my rights, you know.
This guy's pretty dropped.
Probably got some concussion.
We better get an ambulance to run him into Rampart.
And then we'll have to...
Debbie!
Oh my God!
Debbie!
All I had, gentlemen, was two beers.
What is it?
My Debbie's in there!
My Debbie!
Debbie!
Hold on, just take it easy now.
Easy.
Debbie!
That's my little girl in the car.
I was grocery shopping.
I don't see anything, ma'am.
Maybe she went in the market looking for you before the accident.
She never disobeys me.
Debbie!
Hey, what's all that crying and screaming about anyway?
Debbie!
Thinks her kid's trapped in the car.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Hold her, hold her, hold her.
Right there, right there.
Let's get the door open.
Debbie!
Take it easy, take it easy.
Debbie!
They're gonna do everything they can to get her out of there.
It's okay, she'll be fine.
Take it easy.
Hurry!
Shit, that car is occupied.
There's a little girl in there with a hole dashed down on top of her.
Debbie!
Do you see any movement in there at all?
No, nothing.
We've got evidence there!
Listen, you can't be dragging me around like this, I'm telling you.
I don't know why you don't give me a break.
I didn't do any.
I had a couple of beers.
Respiration's about eight, pulse is about 50.
She's in bad shape.
This dashboard's wrapped around her like a blanket.
All right, let's use the chains on the jaws then.
We better make it quick, we're gonna need all the time we can get.
Rampart, this is rescue 51.
51, this is Rampart.
Standby, 51.
Stand by, 51.
Look, don't think you can just drive me around like this.
Automobile accident, he's intoxicated.
When you get him fixed up, I'll need a blood sample.
Hold on, you're not taking any blood from me?
No, sir, I'll tell you right now, you ain't gonna take no blood from me.
Go ahead, 51.
Rampart, we're at a traffic accident.
We have a young female, approximately seven years old, trapped inside.
Extent of trauma unknown at this time.
Pulse 50, respiration's eight.
We're unable to obtain a BP.
Patient is comatose.
51, what about pupil reaction?
We can't check, we're still working on getting her out.
This is info only.
Also, we can't administer anything at this time.
10-4, 51, we'll stand by.
Rampart, we're also sending in a male, approximately 35, head injury.
A probable concussion.
He's also intoxicated.
He's here, 51, in all his glory.
Left pupil slightly dilated and reactive.
Right pupil's normal.
Is she?
She's unconscious.
How bad is she?
I don't know for certain yet, but we're doing all we can.
Tappy?
Rampart, the child is ready to move.
She is comatose.
There's a large contusion on the left side of her head.
It does not seem to be compressed.
Now, the BP is 140 over 70.
Pulse 55, respiration's eight.
The left pupil is dilated.
The right pupil is normal.
51, check for blood or spinal fluid in her nose and ears.
We've already done so, Rampart.
Negative.
Also, no other parent trauma known.
51, transport as soon as possible.
Stand for.
Kill.
Our inebriated friend in there is being difficult.
Most drunks are.
Dr. Allen.
Get this off of me.
I gotta get out of here.
Listen, Doc, I may be drunk, but I'm not stupid.
You ain't getting no blood from me.
You don't have that choice, mister.
Have you heard anything, Doc?
Yeah, they freed her.
She'll be in soon.
How is she?
How's who?
I'm the one with a cut head.
How about me?
We'd like to keep you overnight for observation.
What for?
Just a precaution.
Slight possibility of a concussion.
Yeah, sure.
You never can be too careful.
Doc, what about the blood test?
No way.
You ain't getting no blood.
How important is it?
Well, it could be just about the whole case, Doc.
Listen to me, Doctor.
I object.
And you can't do nothing unless I say okay.
Is he in your custody?
You bet he is.
Felony drunk driving at best.
Felony?
What are you doing, humming me?
I've had drunk driving beasts before,
and that ain't no felony.
Mister.
From what I can make of the symptoms of that little girl,
you'll be lucky if it doesn't turn into manslaughter.
Manslaughter.
Turn again, Dixon.
Hey, now, wait a minute.
I want a lawyer.
You'll get your call, mister.
But first, the blood test.
I'll tell you, Doc, this is against my will.
You know, you're gonna get a lawsuit as big as this building.
When I get through, you won't be licensed to stick a guinea pig.
Do you hear me?
All indications of a mass on the left side.
Probably the hematoma.
Get a skull series right away and set up for a spine pack.
Tell X-ray we'll need to do a carotid angiogram.
Mister Taylor?
Yes.
Oh, are you the two firemen who rescued my daughter?
Yes.
Have you heard anything?
No, ma'am.
It shouldn't be too long.
I got two of the best in there with me right now.
My wife's told me what you've done.
I want to thank you.
Stan, she said she wanted a car and I left her.
I never left her.
It wasn't my fault, I'm telling you.
The guy run me off the road.
Yeah, that's right.
I was run off the road.
It's not your fault.
It's all right.
There's got to be a way to keep these guys off the road.
Well, if you can think of something, don't keep it to yourself.
You're absolutely right, Kel.
There's every indication of blood clot.
Probably epidural hematoma.
That's what I was afraid of.
Kel, I'm getting a steady rise in blood pressure.
What about pulse?
It's slowing.
Plus 40.
I'm just afraid she won't survive surgery.
Without it, we'll lose her an hour.
Can you suggest any alternatives?
There are none.
And I'll be frank, the chances of complete success are very small.
If she survives surgery, it's very possible there can be brain damage and paralysis.
It's not fair.
She's just a child.
She's a little baby.
It's not fair.
Okay.
Look, we'd like to talk it over.
How much time can we have before you have to have a decision?
I'm sorry, Mr. Taylor.
Right now, every second counts.
There isn't any time.
The doctors have to operate immediately.
Nancy?
She saw we have Stan.
It's gonna happen again.
I know it. I know it.
Nancy, we can't give up hope.
We can't.
I can't help it.
What have we done wrong?
Why is God against us?
Nancy, Debbie has a chance, and we've got to give it to her.
Jimmy didn't.
It was over before we could do anything.
Jimmy?
He was our son.
He was five.
Three years ago, he was killed in...
in an automobile accident.
Nancy, we have to have faith.
We have to.
What?
When Jimmy died,
my wife...
Well, the only thing that pulled her out of it was Debbie.
We adopted her two years ago.
We'll do everything that's humanly possible, Mr. Taylor.
Dr. Roberto Almanza.
Dr. Almanza, 63.
Doctor?
She's out of surgery.
Is she?
It's too soon to tell, Mrs. Taylor.
She's still in a coma.
We'll just have to wait for now.
Have you, uh, told my husband?
No. Where is he?
I'm not sure.
I think he, he went to talk to the policeman.
Mr. Taylor, I think you'd better join your wife.
Debbie's out of surgery now.
And?
Like I told Mrs. Taylor.
She's still in a coma.
It'll be some time before we know.
You know why I came in here, don't you?
I was gonna beat him to a pulp.
Pitiful little man who probably doesn't even realize what he's done.
He'll have his day in court.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, our system of justice.
It was one of his kind that killed Jimmy.
What's the matter with them, doctor?
Don't they realize what a menace they are?
How can a person drink himself to oblivion and then drive a car?
That's the problem.
They can't.
Yeah.
Can we see Debbie now, doctor?
Just for a few minutes.
Who was that?
Giles' father.
What was he doing here? What did he want?
Let me ask you a question, doctor. What did he want?
Whatever it was.
I don't think he got it.
Here's your water.
Man, was that ever some movie, huh?
Some movie, all right.
All right. Man, that was a classic in its day.
History in the making is what that picture was.
I feel a little bit of needling in the garden.
Needling? Just because the Indians lost?
I mean, anybody with a little bit of education
had realized the historical significance of that movie.
Here we go again.
Historical significance?
That was a crummy piece of propaganda to make a movie about.
Historical significance?
That was a crummy piece of propaganda
to make jerks like you feel comfortable.
Besides, it was a lousy film.
Lousy? Man, I thought it was great.
Oh, you would.
I don't want to talk about it. Forget it.
Well, you call me a dope, and then you tell me to forget it.
Come on. What do you mean?
I didn't call you a dope. I called you a jerk.
And you know exactly what I'm talking about.
That movie really didn't tell it like it was.
It was a time-grabbing, treaty-breaking liars
you whites really were.
Oh, I get it now, Johnny.
You better watch it. That Indian blood of yours is starting to boil.
Yeah, and I may revert back and go after your scalp,
starting with your upper lip.
All right, all right. Why don't we call that one a draw?
Draw?
Well, what are we doing here?
We choosing up sides? The Irishmen against the Indians?
What are you picking on me for?
I'm not picking on you.
What are you getting so uptight about?
I've got some Indian blood in me, too, you know.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Now, now, don't tell me.
On your grandmother's side.
Yeah, that's right.
And she was an Indian princess, a Cherokee, most likely.
Hey, that's right. How'd you know that?
Oh, we call it white man royalty syndrome.
Cross street, Burnside, time out 1411.
Listen to me, you little run.
If it's the last thing I do, I'm going to have you blackballed
from every hot dog stand in the city.
Who cares about your crummy hot dogs?
You'll find out who cares, you little wise guy.
Tell me who cares.
You're a good boy.
You'll find out who cares, you little wise guy.
Tell it to the fireman, fatso.
What's the problem?
What's it look like?
Got his finger stuck trying to rip off my gumball machine.
You're crazy.
You're the one who's a ripoff artist.
He fixes this thing so it'll take a kid's penny
and not come through with a gumball.
You gonna listen to that, hogwash?
Sorry, we're just neutral observers.
Yeah, maybe I ought to call the cops.
Maybe they won't be so neutral.
No, they'll throw you right in the slammer
for shaking down us kids.
Listen to him!
By the time he's 15, he's gonna have his picture
decorating every post office in the country.
All right, all right.
What do you suggest?
Well, his finger's stuck in there all right.
Why don't we try a little soap?
RINGING
PILOT 1-9-5, engine 41 are showing us main and health...
Engine 231, return to water.
What are you gonna do?
Soap, we're gonna try to...
You're gonna ruin all my gumballs in there!
No, wait a minute, it doesn't make any difference.
He can't settle any gumballs with his finger stuck in there.
You be darn careful.
Roy is just a little upset.
What's little Dillinger yapping about now?
I'm telling him how you watered down your lemonade.
Yeah?
You can tell him how you used five times more sugar
than anybody else, too.
Okay, see if you can pull it out now.
Nope, won't come.
I knew it, I knew it.
What now?
We only have one choice.
We're gonna have to break the glass.
Oh, no, you don't. Not my gumball machine.
What do you want?
Should I walk around the rest of my life
with a gumball machine on my finger?
You can't run anywhere without a machine.
All right, all right, settle down, you two.
Well, do you have a key for that thing?
No, the guy who fills it, he has the key.
Hey, I got it.
What?
Cut his finger off.
You're really sick.
Not as sick as you're gonna be when you're paid the damage.
Looks like this war started a long time ago.
There certainly isn't any love lost between them.
Assistant 1, repeat the phone number.
10-4, Assistant 1.
You really gotta break it, huh?
I'm sorry.
Engine 110, folks.
110, 110, 158, 138, 148,
someone's 27, tell you what.
Fire number 61,
3-4,
number 61,
43, 9-21.
Okay.
Look at the miser.
He's saving all the dirty gumballs.
Okay, I'm gonna count them.
I'm gonna charge you one cent a piece.
Yeah, well, take it off the interest of what I lost in this thing
for the past two years.
Okay.
Engine 18, the squad is not available.
Do you need any other assistance?
Nope, it's still stuck.
Uh, what now?
Tear it apart?
I guess so.
Oh, now, wait a minute.
Listen, there's no other way.
Let's put your partner's head when he broke the glass.
Leave him alone, will you?
I wanna get out of here.
Hey, you should've thought of that before.
You know, come here, I wanna show you something.
About what?
See that?
What?
Your blind or something right there.
It's a penny, so what?
It's my penny.
Stuck.
That's why your dumb machine didn't work.
Still could ask for your penny back.
Would you have given it to me?
All you had to do was ask.
Ah, you're right, I am sick.
Engine 15, return to course.
See?
facility one, call 638.
How's it feel?
It's okay, it doesn't even hurt.
Why should it?
After all, the machine was a sacrifice.
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna let you off the hook.
Off the hook?
What are you talking about?
Well, since it was your fault that my finger got stuck,
I won't sue you for our consideration.
That's ring a big of you.
Yeah, the way I see it,
one hot dog a day for the next two months.
Mm, for free, huh?
Of course.
See what I have to put up with?
Oh, sorry, we're...
Yeah, I know, you're neutral.
Here.
Oh, no.
Hey, Gage, answer a question for me, will you?
Careful.
Shoot.
Why is it you ever left the reservation?
Is that a crack or is that a question?
If you ask me, it sounds like bait.
No, I'm serious.
I've been reading up on Indians,
and according to this anthropologist here,
it's supposed to be against your cultural instincts
to leave the tribal environment.
Is that so?
Well, maybe the tribal environment lost a little of its charm
when the anthropologists started nosing around
and coming up with their dumb theories about Indians.
Oh, you're being kind of hard on them, aren't you?
I mean, these are real educated people, scientists.
Scientists?
You know, maybe you should meet them sometime.
You knew anthropologists?
Yes.
Matter of fact, I used to be a guinea pig
for about 20 of them every summer.
Guinea pig? What did they do?
Observed us.
Observed?
Yeah.
Every year, they'd come up with a new theory about Indians.
So when the summer would roll around,
they'd just swarm out to the reservation
to prove this new theory by observing us.
So they'd watch us savages for about a month or so,
and then they'd run back into town,
write out a whole slew of books,
and get federal grants for it,
so they could afford to come back the next summer
and do it all over again.
What a way to make a living.
You know something, Gage?
I think you're better.
Oh, you noticed.
I know scientists were just trying to help.
Like how?
All they've done for the past 100 years is pump out studies.
Well, those studies must have done some good.
Oh, they did. They did.
They helped build up university libraries
with a lot of useless knowledge.
Now, tell me that's doing good.
Well, this guy here sure has studied
a lot of the Indian problems,
and it would seem to me the Indian would be grateful for his interest.
Oh, Marcus Parkham.
Yes, sir. Now, he was one of the best.
He was a real winner.
You know what he did?
He studied a tribe of people for over...
He studied a tribe of 1,000 people
for over 10 years to solve their poverty problem.
Yeah, how'd it come out?
Now, this here is one of 10 books that he published.
Now, he blew $5.5 million on his studies.
Now, Chet,
if that tribe had one little piece of that $5.5 million,
they wouldn't have the problem to begin with.
No, it couldn't, huh?
Well, maybe you should have let the tribe use a little of that money,
you know, to jack up their economy.
Hey, now that's academic treason.
I'm shocked that you would suggest such a thing.
Maybe it's some of that Indian blood in him.
Oh, that's right.
On his grandmother's side.
Yeah, the princess.
Squad 51, difficult breathing.
10-17 Crocker, apartment 10.
Cross Street, Wanda. Timeout 11.50.
KMG, 365.
Please, please, I can't.
Where, where?
Oh, here they are.
Thank you.
Help me.
Help me. Help me.
How long have you been this way, ma'am?
Ten, ten, ten weeks.
I can't breathe.
Has this happened before?
No, no, it's new. New.
Are you under a doctor's care?
No, not sick.
Squeezing me.
Help me.
No?
No, girdle.
I can't breathe.
Girdle?
What do you suggest?
You cut it, I guess.
I don't see any other way.
You're under...
Anything.
Hurry.
Hurry!
I didn't think I'd ever draw another breath.
It's good. It's good to be alive.
Oh, thanks.
You're not hurt, are you?
No, no. Everything's fine.
Everything's just fine.
Amen.
You can say that again, brother.
Bye-bye.
I know firemen look dangerously, but a girdle...
Tell me about it.
You know, Roy, if Chet ever finds out about this,
I want to know exactly who told him.
Just tell me one thing.
How'd she ever get into it?
Would you believe baby oil?
Why not?
Engine 51, engine 60, squad 51.
Structure fire, 612 grand.
612 grand.
Cross street, all of you. Time out, 1240.
Squad 51 responding.
It's right up the street.
Let's go.
There's been no change.
It's been three days.
I'm sorry.
There's nothing more we can do but wait...
and pray.
I've tried that before.
It doesn't work.
It's in the bathroom. Hurry.
I don't know what started it. It just suddenly started burning.
Let's grab this garden hose.
Ah! It's coming out of that hose.
What the heck is coming out of this hose?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
I'm going to have to use the pump cap.
Some sort of flammable material in the water system.
Agent 60, engine 51.
There's some kind of flammable liquid in the water system.
Use your tank.
Ironman's sinking with the engine in half.
What the devil happened?
Whatever's in that water system surely isn't water.
Oh, man, it was close.
Hey, Mr. Duthra.
Oh, my God!
All right, we're rolling in three more companies for standby and the water department.
Whatever's infiltrating this water system has got to be found.
We're going to have trouble doing that.
We don't even know what's moving.
I would start by looking, but first I want the mains from the whole area checked out.
You take Squire Street.
Right.
Yeah, all it took was some real water.
You wouldn't believe how that fire in there started.
The old guy threw a lit match in the toilet bowl.
Don't say it, Kelly.
No, I know.
Fuels in this one, too.
What gets me is how the fuel oil got in the system in the first place.
Maybe it's some kind of industrial sabotage.
In a residential area? Not likely.
I agree. It doesn't make any sense.
But if somebody's not putting it in here deliberately, then how's it getting in?
If it's not deliberate, then it's got to be accidental, right?
Brilliant.
Well, now think about it.
In what way could fuel oil get into a water system accidentally?
You got me.
Unless the refinery decided to take over the water line.
Not likely.
Yeah?
The fuel line that runs along Market Street, they're always repairing a leak in it.
Yeah? Well, what's that got to do with the water line?
No.
It's worth checking.
Look, they're not that stupid.
I see it, but I don't believe it.
I don't believe it.
Ancient 51, Squad 51. We found the source of Market and Shelton Street.
Hey, what are you doing?
You might say we're cutting off your water, mister.
No, you can just turn it back on again now. I've been flushing this line for over an hour.
We've got to put a weld in. I don't intend to do it with fuel in there.
Then you better thank your lucky stars.
You haven't had a drop of water in there since you started.
What do you mean?
How long have you been working for the refinery, mister?
I don't. This is a contract job.
Do you ever hear of a clapper valve?
Yeah, it's a stop something from backing up. Sure I have.
Then why aren't you using one?
No need. There's only 500 pounds pressure in this line.
And 80 in the hydrant. What does that tell you?
Cap, you're not going to believe this.
I'll let him tell you.
I heard you got a little close to that fire back there, Cage.
Now that's what I call real dedication.
Very funny.
No, I'm very sincere about this.
Sounds to me like it's been on a groundwork or something.
No, man, I'm trying to be serious.
Kelly, you've never been serious a day in your life.
Well, I am now.
Like how?
What I'm trying to say is I've been giving it a lot of thought.
Oh, yeah, I mean, what have you got to lose?
Okay, Chet, lay it on me.
What about this Indian thing?
I mean, my joking around with you about it.
I've noticed it bothers you.
It doesn't bother me.
I mean, if you're some kind of a bigot, why should it bother me?
I know, and I feel bad about it.
That's what I'm trying to tell you, is that right now, no more Indian jokes.
Hey, no, wait a minute, I object to that.
I mean, let's not get carried away.
Well, wait a minute, what do you mean you object to it?
I like the jokes.
I mean, we do need a little bit of humor around here.
Well, yeah, fine, but I mean,
find your own humor at somebody else's expense.
You know, your problem is you're too sensitive.
Sensitive, me?
You know, you're not the most objective guy around here, you know.
Now, wait a minute, what makes you an authority on objectivity?
I mean, look, I can take a joke just like the next guy.
Only if the next guy happens to be stone deaf.
Well, listen...
Gentlemen, such hostility.
Now, I have a solution to this unfortunate argument.
Kelly, what are you talking about?
Well, apparently I've put friend against friend, and I want to remedy it.
How?
Shall we smoke?
That's not funny.
Stat, I'd like a doctor.
Treatment room 3.
How's Debbie Taylor, Kel?
Just not responding, Dixie.
Both Joe and I are flat out answers.
Well, aren't you the one that used to tell me
there's a point where medicine stops and something much bigger takes over?
Sometimes it's hard to keep remembering that.
I'll be your constant reminder, huh?
Aren't you always?
Debbie?
Her eyes! I'm sure I saw the doors.
Debbie, can you hear me?
Debbie, I'm Dr. Brackett. Can you hear me?
Honey, if you can, I want you to move your toes and your fingers.
Mommy, Daddy.
Yes, darling. Mommy and Daddy are right here.
Italian 1 has been notified and is responding.
Gage?
Yeah?
First of all, I would like to apologize for making a joke about the peace pipe.
That's all right, Kelly. You were just showing your usual ignorance for the sacred symbol.
Anyway, in honor of our semi-red brother, I propose a treaty to...
That's all I need. Do you know what a treaty is?
Your version or mine?
Mine.
Yeah, that's when the white man wants a piece of your land, right?
Right. So why are you proposing a treaty?
Look, can we get on with this ceremony?
Station 51, construction accident at the insurance building.
1104 South Macy. 1104 South Macy, Cross Street, Andrews, timeout 1400.
KMG 365.
All right, while you're checking them out, we'll get things ready down here.
Right.
Engine 51, we have an injured man up on some scaffolding on the sign above this building.
Station 51, out 20 minutes.
Engine 51, 10-4.
Engine 51, we have an injured man up on some scaffolding on the sign above this building. Station 51, out 20 minutes.
Station 51, out 20 minutes.
Roy, can you lower that in so we can level off?
All right. All right. Let's take it down.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
This block's jammed. We'll have to work on him here.
All right, send up the drug box.
Okay.
Better call the sheriff. There's been a man shot up here.
Engine 51, notify the sheriff and request an ambulance. We have a shooting victim.
Must have been...
Must have been it.
Get that Stokes tied up.
Engine 51, firemen are under gunfire. Notify the sheriff there's a sniper on top of the Purdue building. This is a Code L.
Put that tarp in it.
Get it up here fast.
Take it away.
Everybody take cover. This guy's shooting at anything that moves.
Why the tarp?
It'll offer us some concealment.
Not much.
You got any better ideas?
Lord.
Let's hope he's kept occupied.
Well, he's losing a lot of blood. We're gonna have to get him out of here.
Do you have any suggestions?
Deputies ought to be over there any minute. I figure if they can keep that sniper busy, we can get this man down.
We're gonna have to try. He's losing too much blood.
All right, let's do it.
Well, I guess they're keeping him busy.
Well, they must be doing something with him, because he hasn't been shooting in it for quite a while.
Well, what's your pleasure?
Let's get out of here.
All right. You go ahead.
He starts to get on her again. I'll scream or something.
Okay.
Anything?
Nah, it's pretty quiet over there.
Yeah, I heard the farmer weren't supposed to get into these kind of things.
Yeah.
Well, we better get him below and notify the hospital.
Engine 51, Sheriff reports sniper in custody. What's your status?
Engine 51 available. Squad 51 available.
Barely available.
Yeah, real good. Okay, thanks a lot, Dix. Bye.
Well, I got the bullet out. He's gonna be all right.
Captain, what does the sheriff have to say about the sniper?
Well, nothing really. They have him ID'd. That's about it.
Well, what was he shooting for? I mean, he must have had a motive.
Well, if he did, they don't know it yet. I guess he just liked human targets.
Hey, Gage, did you get a good look at that tart before we left?
No. Why? What does it look like?
Like a hunk of Swiss cheese. You know, that was a real good idea.
Probably saved our lives.
What made you ever think of it?
Well, it was one of those natural instincts the anthros talk about.
You see, it's an awful lot like a blanket, and everybody knows us redskins have a big thing for our blankets.
Ten-four?
Ten-four.
