DISPATCHER ON RADIO: 10-4,
Division 2. Message has been relayed.


All right.

It's tight now. It's not
gonna go anywhere.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Squad 51,
unknown-type rescue.


[YELLS] I'll get it!

Sorry.

DISPATCHER: Ambulance
is responding. Time out, 08:28.


Squad 51, KMG 365.

You got that?

Yeah. North on Commerce.

Sorry about that hood.

That's all right.

[SIREN BLARING]

Hey, it's about time.

Come on, come on.
Hurry up, will you?

[WOMAN GROANING]

Get out of the way, Jane.

JOHNNY: What's the problem?

JANE: Oh, please don't bother...

You don't know what it
could be. It could be anything.

JOHNNY: Okay,
let's just have a look at you, here.

MRS. LARSON: Please don't...

Haven't you upset her enough?

You come on strong now,
but where were you when I needed you?

What? What do you want me to do?

Why didn't you stand up for me?

Stand up for you?

Then just get me out of here,
that's all.

We will, as soon as we find
out what's wrong with you.

There's nothing you
can do. Nothing.

Ma'am, we might surprise
you. We help a lot of people.

I don't want you to help. I
don't want you to do anything.

Ma'am, we're not gonna
hurt you, I promise you.

Please don't touch me! Go away.

Ma'am, you just can't lie here.

I can if I want to!

[GROANS]

Uh... I don't think she's
gonna let us help her.

Wait, just a second.

Look, ma'am, you're
sure there's nothing...

Oh, please leave me alone!

I'm sorry. I'll go cancel the...

Hey, hey, hold on here.
Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, where do you
think you're going?

Hey, take it easy.
Just take it easy.

For God's sake, can't you
see she's suffering terrible pain?

JOHNNY: All right, now look,
let me explain something to you.

What kind of guys are you,
anyway, walking out on her?

Hey, hey,
hey. Will you listen to me?

Just let me explain
something to you.

She refuses treatment. We
can't do anything. That's the law!

Hey, all right, all right. Just wait a
minute, all right? Just one minute.

Mom.

[GROANS]

Ma, hey,
come on. Now be reasonable, all right?

Uh, ma'am. Does
she have a doctor?

Up in Stockton.

Well, what exactly
happened to her?

Well,
she was supposed to stay two weeks, huh?

Well, it's been a nightmare.

So,
this morning she says she's leaving.

And then, all of a sudden,

she keels over and complains
of terrible stomach pains.

I don't know what I'm
gonna do if she dies.

Well, uh, I guess the
best thing to do is

just try to convince
her to see a doctor.

Well, we don't have one.

Why did you have to
keep arguing?

Look, I just don't want to be
a doormat in my own home!

Well,
you better do something. I'm telling you.

Mother Larson, I'm sorry.
Now, I've behaved very badly

and I apologize. But you've
got to let these men help you.

MRS. LARSON: I don't want much.

I know. It's all my fault.

Just a little respect
in my own son's home.

And you'll get it, I promise.

And I know how things
ought to be done.

For people with our
background and breeding,

there's very much a right
way and a wrong way.

I'll do my best.
I won't wear slacks anymore.

MRS. LARSON: Understand,
I'm not trying to impose my will on you.

No, no. Now, whatever you want.

And you can stay as long as you like,
I promise.

Now, let's just get you
taken care of, shall we?

[LAUGHS] Oh! I'm
feeling better already.

Now,
that's more like it. Gentlemen... Okay?

[SIGHS] All right. May I
use your telephone, please?

Sure. Help yourself.

Ma'am, uh... Let me
in there, please.

Thank you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

JOHNNY: Rampart,
this is Squad 51...

Now, let's do a blood pressure
reading on you, all right?

Fine.

Uh, Rampart, this is Squad 51.

We have a female,
about 53 years old.

She's complaining of
severe stomach pains.

Dr. Brackett to base station.

Oh, oh, please.
It'll ruin my dress.

Is there any other way
you could do it?

Yeah, sure, we can
do it by palpation.

That way we don't have to
lift up your sleeve there.

Thank you, officer. Sure.

Woman, 55,
severe abdominal pain.

This is Dr. Brackett. Go ahead.

Uh, stand by for vital signs.

Pulse is 80.

Respiration's 22.

Rampart, the pulse is 80,
respiration's 22. Stand by for BP.



JOHNNY: BP is 130 by palpation.


does she have a history of abdominal pains?

JOHNNY: Negative, Rampart.


description of the pain at time of onset.

Stand by, Rampart.

Uh, Mrs. Larson. Yes?

Can you tell me specifically
where your pain is

and how long it's been hurting?

Officer, it just hurts. And
it's hurt for over two weeks.

Rampart,
I can't get a real description on the pain,

but it's been hurting
for about two weeks.

It's a family type situation,
if you know what I mean.

Mmm. All right, 51, I read you.

But you better bring her in
and let me take a look at her.



Uh, he says that there's
nothing really serious,

but he'd like to bring her in
and take a look at her anyway.

Do you mean to say
that she has been faking?

Well, no, ma'am,
I didn't really say she was...

[YELLING]

[GRUNTS]

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:


toxic chemicals are stored
in a tanker.


Use caution.

KELLY ON RADIO: Squad 51,
this is Rampart. Can you send me some EKG?


JOHNNY ON RADIO:


We're sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow.


Pulse is 160. The victim
is in extreme pain, Rampart.


[INTERCOM BEEPING]

This patient is in V-fib.

Rampart, we have lost the
victim's pulse. Beginning CPR.


[RAPID BEEPING]

We're defibrillating victim,
Rampart.


Rampart, we've defibrillated
victim. Decent sinus rhythm.


JOE ON RADIO: Administer 2 amps
sodium bicarb and insert an airway.


KELLY ON RADIO: Start an IV,


DIXIE: Squad 51, continue monitoring
Vitals and transport immediately.


JOHNNY ON RADIO:
We're on our way, Rampart.


Beginning to end,
it was a big waste of time.

KELLY: Sorry I missed it.

Wish I had.

Who did that?

The wife.

Wasn't that wife.
It was the mother-in-law.

No, no. Couldn't have
been the mother-in-law.

She was over there
kicking the Biophone.

Did she hurt the equipment?

No. Luckily, I got my knee
in the way just in time.

Good.

Mmm. Sorry I missed it.

Well, if I'd have known you were
so interested I'd have taken a picture.

I think it must have been the wife
when I was trying to calm her down.

I think that's when it happened.

No, it wasn't the wife.

Okay. Remember you were in
between the wife and the mother-in-law

at one point, remember?

That was when it happened.

Yeah, well, things were happening
so darn fast, I don't remember anything.

Oh, and the guy.
You should've seen the guy.

He's just sitting there
on the floor, right?

Looking up at everybody
and his nose was bleeding.

Yeah, and he's crying.

I walked up, I said, "Do you want me to,
you know, fix your nose for you?"

That was when he kicked us out.

Sorry I missed it.

Mmm. I'll give you
a call next time.

Better luck next time.

Yeah, really.

You know, it's bad enough
when you gotta race around town

trying to save somebody
when it's unnecessary,

but when they turn on you...

[LAUGHS]

JOHNNY: Yeah. It's
just one of those days.

Yeah, I know.
Hey, how's your knee?

Only hurts when I use it.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Squad 51,
unknown-type rescue.


31-37, West Hill.

3-1-3-7, West Hill.

Cross street, Burlington.
Time out, 09:56.


Squad 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

MAN: Hey!

ROY: Did you call
the fire department?

Yeah.

Guy here looks pretty bad.

Is that where he is?

Nope. Top floor.

Okay.

We'll be right up.

Not hardly.
Elevator's not working.

Any idea what's wrong?

Nope. Called the
elevator man last week...

ROY: No, no,
no. Not the elevator. The guy.

MAN: Oh, him. I don't know.

We get guys keeling
over here all the time.

Looks like a real fun place.

Hey.

[EXCLAIMS]

[EXHALES]

[CHATTERING]

Oh, here. The guy is in here.

Hey there. Hey.

Swing him back.

What... What're you doing?

We understand you're
not feeling well.

I'm okay.

ROY: Yeah, we'd like to
take a look at you, all right?

Forget it.

What's your name?

Joseph R. Healey. Who are you?

We're firemen. We're paramedics.

How much you had to drink here?

See for yourself.

Yeah. Yeah.

Uh... Look, uh,
you know what day it is?

Tuesday. Now b*at it.

Hey. You sure you're okay?

I'm doing great.

Just leave me alone.

Okay.

Well, I'm sorry getting you
boys out like this for nothing.

That's all right,
don't worry about it.

No problem. You ever need us, just
give us a call. That's what we're here for.

Yeah, well, you see what it was.

We had a guy that d*ed
on us here the other week.

Mmm-hmm.

And I must have had that
at the back of my head.

Well, still, you think I ought to
know a drunk when I see one.

Really.

So long. See you.

Been meaning to
get at this room.

What did I do with
that dumb broom?

[sums]

MAN: Hey! Hey!

I think he's stopped breathing.

Are you sure
he's stopped breathing?

How do I know?

I said, "I think he stopped
breathing." You better check him.

[PANTING]

He ain't breathing.

[blows]

You got it?

Anything?

Yeah.

All right, here you go.

Give me the...

[GRUNTS]

White box, white box.

That's heavy. Watch it.

The drug box. The black box.

Here. Here it is.

Trying to get the patches on.

Okay, we're getting
a good pulse on him.

We're good.

Six liters?

Yeah.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.
Do you read?

[PANTING]

Okay, I'll steady you on the way down,
all right?

Wish I could remember
where I left that darn broom.

You steady?

[BROOM CLATTERING]

I think I found your broom.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Yeah, it's all right.

Appreciate it.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Parker,
Outpatient Area.


ROY: It's got a small stairway.
It takes forever to get up there.

The elevator doesn't work.
We go up there. DIXIE: Yeah.

Nothing. Then we go
back down. Just telling her.

Sounds like you guys had
a fairly interesting morning.

[SCOFFS] That's not the word for it. Hi,
Doc.

Hi, Doc. How you doing?

Hey, Doc, that Healey guy,
what was wrong with him?

Oh, he's an alcoholic. Says
he's been on disulfiram for a week.

That's the stuff that makes
you sick when you drink.

Uh-huh.

Said he's been
trying to kick it,

but this morning he broke
down and took a drink.

Knowing he'd be sick.

Yeah, except in his case,
it threw him into respiratory arrest.

That happens sometimes.

Must be terrible to
need something that bad.

Yeah.

See you guys later.

JOHNNY: All right,
see you later, Doc.

Well, we better get going, too.

Okay.

See you little later. All right.

See you later, Dix.

Have you noticed that things
aren't going particularly right today?

Oh, you noticed that too, huh?

I'll tell you when I first noticed it.
When I first went down, when I fell down.

I could've broke my leg.

These things happen
every once in a while.

Yeah.

NURSE: How old is he?

Donnie is 10.

And what seems
to be the trouble?

Well, he has a fever and
the sniffles and no appetite.

That sort of thing.

Since I had to come down this way,
I thought I'd better bring him.

Will it take long?

Donnie? Oh, Donnie!

Get a doctor to Admitting. Stat!

WOMAN ON PA: Stat,
ident. Doctor in Treatment Room 3.


WOMAN ON PA: Stat,
ident. Doctor in Treatment Room 3.


He's burning up.

Let's get these clothes off.

Attaboy.

DIXIE: Bring him up.

All right, lie down.



Okay, sit up.

I want you to take a deep
breath when I tell you, okay?

Like, "Hah!" Okay?

Breath.

Again.

Again.

What you got, Joe?

Don't know yet. He had
a seizure out in the lobby.

A grand mal seizure?

I'm afraid so.

There are some rates.

Pupils equal and reactive.

May I have a tongue
depressor, Dix?

Open your mouth.

Want to put his head
up a little bit for me there.

All right, turn your
head that way.

Other side.

Little ear infection, left side.

All right, now,
tell me if this hurts, okay, son?

No. Does it hurt?

How about this?

After we finish, Dix, tepid water sponge.
We gotta get the temperature down.

Joe. Yeah?

Nuchal rigidity.

I think we may have
a case of meningitis, Kel.

KELLY: Do we have
a history on him?

Not yet.

His mother's waiting
in the lobby.

I better have a talk with her.

Dix, we'll need a CBC,
electrolytes, glucose,

and set up for
a lumbar puncture.

Start an IV with D5W TKO.

Let's get X-ray in here for a
skull series and chest x-ray.

Well, if I get there at all,
it'll be late. Yeah.

RITA: Carol, no!
No, we can't cancel.

Listen, you take the meeting.

Oh, come... Nonsense.

You can handle it just fine.

Well, of course
you can, dear. Right.

Mrs. Hudson?

Oh, yes, I'll be
with you in a minute.

Well, do your best.

Yes, yes, of course. Call me
at home as soon as they decide.

All right, dear. Bye-bye.

Mrs. Hudson, I'm...
Oh, Doctor, I'm sorry.

I'm Dr. Brackett.
And I'm Rita Hudson.

How do you do? How do you do?

Donnie. How is he?

Well, he's a pretty
sick young man.

Yes, I know, but what's wrong?

Well, he has an upper
respiratory infection,

and now there's the
possibility of meningitis.

Oh, that's curable though?

Yes, but it could be very serious.
We're gonna run some more tests

and I'll need your
permission to do a spinal tap.

Oh, certainly.
Whatever you need.

Oh, fine. Right now, I'd like to find
out how he got into this condition.

[SIGHS] Well, I have no idea.

You know,
when I saw Donnie on the floor like that,

writhing, you can just imagine
what went through my mind.

You see, I'm active in
this volunteer group

and we do an awful lot
of work with shut-ins

and you just wouldn't
believe the things...

[LAUGHS] Well, yes,
of course you would.

How long has he been sick?

I'm not sure I understand
what you mean by sick.

When did you
first notice anything?

Oh, it was Sunday. He just had
a little cold, you know, sniffles.

And the fever?

Well, let me see,
I took his temperature...

What day was it? It was the...

Oh, it was the day we
went to protest for...

Now, what did I
do with... Here it is.

For the zoning commission.

It's this adhoc
committee that I'm on.

Tuesday. He had about 101.

Doctor, are you familiar with what
these zoning people are doing?

I mean, this boondoggle
is really ridiculous.

No, no,
I'm not. Has he been on any medication?

Just aspirin every so often.

He hasn't been to a doctor?

Uh-uh. Oh, I was tempted
yesterday though. Oh, boy.

[PHONE RINGS]

Oh, that's for me.
Excuse me, Doctor.

Hello? Oh, Ann, thank goodness.

[sums]

RITA: Well, it's a payphone
at the hospital. Donnie's sick.

No, no. He's going to be all right,
but I just can't make that luncheon today.

Well, look. Do you think
you could head everybody off

and get them at my house tonight. Oh,
how about 8:00?

Mrs. Hudson,
it's important that I talk to you.

Oh, go right ahead. I'm holding.

Does he have a continuing
medical problem?

Uh-uh.

Has he ever had
a reaction to antibiotics?

Tomorrow at 8:00?

[SIGHS] Well, if it has to be,
it has to be, that's all.

Ann, thanks so much.

Oh, I will, dear.
All right. Bye-bye.

Oh, Doctor, please
forgive me again...

Has he ever had
a reaction to antibiotics?

Oh, he's never taken any.

Oh, listen, while I have you, Doctor,
I'd like to get you to sign this petition.

It's in opposition to
that new construction.

No, I don't want...

Oh, but you'll want to. Believe me,
it concerns you.

It's going to be
right in this area.

I'm not interested right now.

Oh, well, you really
should be, Doctor.

You know, well, I don't
mean to sound blunt,

but that's just how wasteful,
harmful things happen.

You know,
that's the big problem in this community.

I mean, the whole country
for that matter. Apathy.

Mrs. Hudson,
I couldn't agree with you more.

Oh, Nurse. I'm Mrs. Hudson,
you remember me.

I really have a petition and
it is important that you sign.

It's in opposition to that new
construction which is going to be built

right in this area.

And I need all the
signatures I can get.

Really, there's just so many...

What was that?

Oh, no.

I just dropped a
battery cap down here.

I've done that.

[GRUNTS] I don't believe it. If I
can just get another finger on it.

Yeah, well, you better watch out,
those things got sharp edges.

Ow!

I found it.

You know, today didn't
even start out right.

The alarm didn't go off. Both
Joanne and I were late getting up.

I'm running around,
trying to get my clothes on,

I broke two shoelaces right
in a row. Can you b*at that?

[CLANKING]

Yeah, I can b*at that. I just dropped
a battery cap down there again.

I don't believe this.

Well, what do you expect,
the way things are going?

Oh,
if I can just get another finger on it.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

Oh, no.

DISPATCHER: Station 51.
Vehicle accident with injuries.


Here we go again.

Sancola and Rosemont.

Need any help? No.

Station 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

I'll get the second car.

All right.

Grab the rail line.

This one's empty.

So is this one.

What've you got?

JOHNNY: Absolutely nothing.

You're kidding. Nothing?

There's blood on this door. Right here
on the seat, too. This one's been injured.

Well, the ambulance
couldn't have b*at us here.

Not possibly.

This one's got blood, too.
Somebody's injured.

Where'd they go?

I don't know. Maybe
somebody took them in.

Let's try knocking
on some doors.

[POLICE SIREN WAILING]

ROY: This is weird.

L.A., Engine 51, we have a victim
with probable injuries who's left the scene

and we're now
checking the vicinity.

Request a tow truck
at this location.

DISPATCHER: Engine 51.

ROY: There.

Cap!

Looks like it goes
right on down the street.

Yeah.

What?

Looks like he was
bleeding pretty badly.

Yeah, both of them were.

There's two sets of them.

Yeah? Yeah.

Well, see if you can find them.
They can't have gotten very far.

Okay.

JOHNNY: Goes around here.

Ma'am. You seen
a couple come by here,



No. Haven't heard
anything either.

They were injured.

I haven't seen a soul.

You've been out
here a while, huh?

Maybe 15, 20 minutes.

Well, did you see
a car come by here?

No.

Do you believe in levitation?

CHET: You know what I think?
I think some little green man

sucked him up
in a flying saucer.

Now, there's got to be a
logical explanation for this thing.

Well, they smelled
human blood scent.

And what could be
more logical than that?

You know something? What?

I believe you. You do?

Makes a heck of a lot more
sense than two guys, hurt,

wandering around after
an automobile accident.

All we've done, this hold shift,
is spin our wheels.

We've gone upstairs,
we've gone downstairs,

we've had arguments,
we've gone around.

The worst is yet to come.

Oh, don't be so superstitious.

What's superstitious? These
things happen in bunches, don't they?

Oh, come on.

What "come on"? How often do
you break two shoelaces in a row?

[ALARM SOUNDING]

Oh, thank you very much, Mike.

DISPATCHER: Squad 51,
possible head injury,


2708, North Lakeview Terrace.

Keep it hot. Be right there.

STANLEY: Squad 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:
Squad 51, cancel.


[SIREN STOPS]

Well, why don't we go
take a look anyway?

Sure. We can't be more
than a block away anyway.

All right.

L.A., Squad 51.
Available at scene.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Squad 51.

JOHNNY: I'll get the drug box.

[EXCLAIMS]

I tried to call back and stop you,
but I guess they didn't get you in time.

They did. We just happened
to be in the neighborhood,

so we thought we'd drop by.

Oh, nice.

Is there anything
that we can do?

Gee, I don't think so.

Maybe we can take a look.

Sure, why not?

It really frightened me at first,
you know. That's why I called.

Dad, look,
the firemen came anyway.

Hey, I'm sorry to get...

It's all right. Not a problem.

It's all right,
don't worry about it. What happened to you?

Nothing, I just slipped in the tub,
cracked my head on the edge.

I was just about to
put a bandage on it.

Oh, listen, we can do that for
you. Why don't you just lean back?

How do you feel?

A little bit shaky.

Maybe we should just check you out here,
just to be sure, huh?

All right.

How's your health,
generally? Is it good?

Perfect health.

Really, not quite.

What?

Well, I'll tell you,
I've been a little bit weak and dizzy.

Just the last couple of days.

BETTY: Why that
sure beats everything.

Honey, I just didn't
want you fussing over me.

Well, what do you
think they're doing?

These men are examining me.
Different thing completely.

Okay.

All right, now, let me
just wipe this off.

Yeah, all right.

There we go.

What you got?

BP is 90 over 70. Pulse is 96.

Respiration's 15.

Uh... Maybe we should
check in with the hospital

to see what they
think, all right?

Yeah, sure.

May I use your telephone?

Yeah, sure. Okay.

Relax.

[INTERCOM BUZZING]

Rampart Emergency.

JOHNNY: Rampart,
this is Squad 51.


We have a patient,
male, 55 years old.


Uh, was dizzy for
the past couple of days.

Slipped and fell in the tub. He has
a one-inch laceration on his head.

Stand-by, 51.

Go on, this is Dr. Brackett.
Are there any other symptoms?

Vital signs are, pulse is 96,

respiration is 15,
BP is 90 over 70.

You fellows find something?

No, it's a routine examination.

Told you to take
your vitamins. Yeah.

Do you notice anything
else wrong? Anything at all?

I'll give you one. I get a
kind of a tearing pain here,

and it moves right
through to my back.

Rampart. Rampart,
the patient is also complaining

of a tearing pain

from his abdomen radiating
back to his back.


How long has he had it?

How long have you had it?

Why, just a couple of hours.

He says a couple
of hours, Rampart.


trousers, start an IV

with normal saline
and transport immediately.





I'll go get the trousers.

Uh, you're gonna have
to go to the hospital.

Oh, look, maybe tomorrow,
or the next day, let's see how I feel, huh?

He won't go. He's as
stubborn as a mule.

You're gonna have to go today.

Well, later,
this afternoon, maybe.

No, no. Right now.

Yeah, I'm gonna
call an ambulance.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, I've seen everything.

Ready?

Yeah.

Oh, Johnny, Roy.

Yeah, Doc?

There's no question about it.

He's got an abdominal
aortic aneurysm.

You know, they wanted
to cancel the run?

Yeah, well, it's a good thing
they didn't. Thank you, Bridget.

Okay, thanks.
See you later, Doc.

See you later.

Wow.

Hey, wait just a minute,
please. Excuse me.

You know, they told me that
Dad could've gone at any minute.

I mean, just like that.

Yes, ma'am.

You know, I can't even
get him to wear a hat,

much less go to the doctor.

I just want to say
thank you very much.

Glad it worked out for you.

Thanks.

See you later. Bye.

MRS. HUDSON: Dr. Brackett!

Do you have the test results?
I mean, how's Donnie?

Donnie's gonna be fine.

There's no sign of meningitis.

It's just a simple
viral syndrome.

All he needs is
a few days in bed.

Oh, thank God. I can't
tell you how relieved I am.

Yes, well, that makes two of us.

[sums]

From now on,
I strongly suggest that you pay

more attention
to your son's health.

He was very lucky this time...

Oh, you're so right, Doctor. I really have
got to get into this mother thing more deeply.

[PHONE RINGING]

[CHUCKLES] Oh, the phone again.

Excuse me. It's probably for me.

Hello. What?

You're kidding.

Squad 51 available.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Squad 51.

Well, at least we did
one thing right.

Yeah, it's about time. I was
beginning to get discouraged.

Yeah, you and me, both.

[SIREN WAILING]

STANLEY: Chet, Marco,
get an inch and a half in there.

You got everybody out?

I went through, top to bottom. Pounded
on every door and even hollered.

Okay, much obliged.

Engine 36, Engine 51,
come to the south side with Truck 3.

MAN ON RADIO: Calling Engine 51.

The second and third floors
are partially involved. All units...


Truck 3, Engine 51.

Take the south side of the
fire and ladder the building.


This is shorter.

Everybody's out. Take an inch
and a half to the second floor.

All right.

Mrs. Mason, have you seen Lucy?

Have you seen my daughter?

Nobody's in there. I
kicked down doors.

There's nobody in there.

[sums]

Ma'am,
you can't go in there. You can't go...

My daughter's up there.

You sure? Yeah?

She must be. I can't
see her anywhere.

Okay, we'll take care of it.

Okay, come on, let's go.

It's gonna be okay. They'll
take care of it for you.

Right over there.

Chet, we got a little girl
in here, somewhere.

All right. Can you hold it,
Marco?

Go ahead!

I'll keep a check here for you.

All right.

How's it going, Ed?

I need another inch and
a half on the second floor.

You can relieve my crew up there

and have them start ventilating.

They're gonna need an axe, too.

Found her?

No, nothing.

Maybe she ain't in there.

I don't know,
her mother was awfully sure.

Let's check it again.

Step on it. We've got fire
up above and across the way.

[LUCY CHOKING]

Hey, Roy!

Here you go.
Come on out of there.

Okay, just calm down,
just squat down.

Here, here, wait a minute.

All right.

Here you go. Here you go.

Okay, all right,
just take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath. There we go.

All right, now. I'm gonna put
you over my shoulder, all right?

You just keep holding that mask.

I'll lead you down. All right.

Chet, we got her. It's clear.

Watch the hose.

It's clear down here.

There you go.

Okay.

[EXCLAIMING]

Is she okay?

I think so. I think she is.

She's gonna be fine, ma'am.
She's gonna be fine.

Can I examine her now? Okay.

Are you b*rned anywhere?

Huh? Are you all right?

Her throat hurts.

Oh!

That's probably understandable.

[sums]

[LAUGHING]

Why don't we start here,
Chet. All right.

Found the little girl.

All right, what do you need?

That's too hard, Marco.
We need the K-12.

Okay, I'll go
and tell the Captain.

All right.

Hey, Captain, Captain,
we need the K-12 up here.

[SHOUTS]

Get me out of here, Marco.

Okay, okay, all right.

Now I'm stuck back here.
I'm stuck.

CHET: Now, wait a minute,
I'm stuck in the back here.

MARCO: Yeah.

We got a man stuck
on the roof up here.

Need a straight
ladder and a rope.

We think he's stuck. I think
we're gonna have to cut it off.

CHET: Well, let's
get me out of here.

Just hold on.

All right. Okay.

Gonna drop?

Help me out.

ROY: Okay, we got him.

You okay? Huh?

You all right?

Let's get you down.

Watch your arm.

Can you make it
around here okay?

Let's get a stretcher over here.

No, I don't need a stretcher.

Are you sure?
I guess we're okay.

Cancel it.

DISPATCHER: Engine 51.

We've got it locked
down. Just mopping up.

Okay, Captain.

Hey, Chet.

Take the rest of the fire off.

Thanks, Cap.

[EXHALES]

Roy, you know,
I've been thinking about it.

We've been taking the wrong
attitude on this whole day.

Yeah. Well, I got to tell you, today
has not been one of my all-time favorites.

I'm agreeing with you.

I'm just saying that the rest of the
day doesn't have to turn out this way.

I mean, look at it, a day is just


I mean, if you stop
to think about it.

Oh, really?

Look, all I'm saying is,
is a bad 9:00,

should have no effect on a


Yeah, well, that
sounds logical, but...

Roy, all I'm saying is,
that there's no point in being super...

stitious.
