06x01 - The Game

[bunniefuu]

ROY: Well, we got the chops.

Oh, great.

Hey, Marco,
I couldn't find any red peppers,

so I got you these
green ones here. Okay?

John, these are hot.

Well, use half as many, then.

Chili today, hot tamale.

Hey, what you concocting there?

A meal you won't forget.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I still remember the meal
you cooked last year.

Hey, I just got the call confirming the
Coliseum duty for you guys tomorrow.

That's great! All right! Okay!

The Coliseum? You mean you guys
got duty at the big game tomorrow?

Mmm-hmm.

What luck!

Biggest game of the season
and they're getting in free!

Well, you know,
we just might be working.

Well, just being there... I mean, I've
been trying to get tickets for a month.

No luck at all.

I even rented a motel
room up in Bakersfield

in case it was blacked out here.

Don't worry about it. From
what I understand, they sold out.

So it'll be on television.

Well,
that's not the same as being there.

I mean, the atmosphere,
the thrill of the crowds,

the Trojan horse,
they got the marching bands.

I didn't know you were
such a fan, Chet.

Oh, yeah, I've become
addicted to football this season.

Well,
I've got this strange addiction to food,

so let's get on with the chow.

Hey,
where do you suppose they'll station us?

Well, you know,
they could position us anywhere.

We might get down to the


Of course, they could put us in
the end zone. JOHNNY: Yeah.

But you know, we just might
be placed right down on the field.

That's true.

And I'll be in
my dumpy apartment,

watching it on my dumpy TV.

[CHUCKLES] Well,
it beats a drive to Bakersfield.

Anything beats
a drive to Bakersfield.

Hey, Eric! Yeah, Dad?

Would you tie this rope
to something strong for me?

Sure.

Tie it with a bowline,
like you learned at camp.

No sweat.

All tied off, Dad.

Great. Thanks, Eric.

Mom, I'm going over to Danny's.

Behave yourself. Come on,
Cindy, let's go.

Put your seat-belt on, Cindy.

Scott, we're going now!

Okay. I'll see you later!

Cindy, I want your seat belt on.

[SCOTT YELLING]

[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.

[SIRENS WAILING]

JOAN: The Fire
Department's here.

My husband.

JOHNNY: Okay. Take it easy.

Is he stuck up in that tree?

Yeah.

We might throw an extension
ladder up there, huh?

Chet, grab a line.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right.

Better hook that before you go on up. Okay,
thanks, Cap.

Okay. How you doing?

Oh. My left leg isn't in the best of shape,
you know.

Left leg? All right.

Can you believe this?
I'm up on the roof

and I tell my kid to tie me off

and the dumb kid
ties me off to the van,

and my wife comes out to go to the market,
and look what happens.

Now, can you believe this?

[LAUGHING] Well, I'm trying to.

Oh, boy.

All right. Now
you just stay still.

We're gonna try to get
this belt around you, okay?

We just moved in two
weeks ago. Is that right?

Yeah. What a way to meet
your new neighbors, huh?

Where are you from?
From back in New Jersey.

Okay.

Okay, what have we got here?

He's complaining
of his left leg, Roy.

Yeah. All right.

Yeah, it's not in the best of
shape. Gonna check you out here.

You let me know if I'm
hurting you, okay?

Okay.

That's all right there.

[GROANING]

All right? Yeah. It smarts
a little bit down there.

Yeah.

Looks like you got
a little fracture here.

Oh, boy.

I'm sorry, Mom.
I hope Dad's okay.

I do, too.

Okay. He's tied off.

Okay, Cap, I'm gonna cut his rope,
get it out of the way.

STANLEY: Okay. We're ready.

Okay, I'm gonna go down below.

All right.

Just relax, all right?

I'll be all right.

Okay.

All right.

Okay, just one second.

Cap, I'm gonna wrap his rope

around this limb up here,

get it out of our way, okay?

STANLEY: Okay. I'll get the
leg splint and the drug box.

Leg hurting you pretty bad? Oh,
yeah.

You guys got here pretty fast.

Yeah. We get paid for it.

All right.

You'll be okay in just a second,
all right?

Ma'am, I wouldn't worry. He just
got a minor fracture on his left leg.

I guess it could be worse.

STANLEY: Mike, grab that.
You got him?

[GRUNTING]
STOKER: Here he comes.

That looks like fun.

Sort of fun?

All right,
easy. Just relax. Just relax. There we go.

Oh, boy. Just relax.

[SIREN APPROACHING]

There we are.

Okay.

We're gonna have to ruin a
good pair of pants if you don't mind.

SCOTT: That's okay.

Got a fractured tibia.

I'm sorry,
darling. Does it hurt? Only my pride.

Don't you feel bad. You didn't
know the rope was on the van.

But your son, him,
I'm not talking to. That's for sure.

[GROANING] All right,
just relax, okay, just relax.

Stay easy.

[GROANING]

All right.

You're gonna be okay.

Thanks, fellas.

You're welcome.

We're awfully embarrassed. Oh,
don't be embarrassed.

I mean, this kind of thing
happens to just about everybody.

I don't know.
Back in New Jersey,

this kind of things
always happened to us.

We're just accident prone.

Well,
maybe you're just having a run of bad luck.

Maybe. But we're the only family
I know in Newark, New Jersey,

that used to get a Christmas
card from the emergency hospital.

[CHUCKLES]

Where are you taking him to?

Oh, we're gonna take him
to Rampart Emergency.

Now, you can
follow us if you want.

You can either follow the
squad or the ambulance.

They're not going
on a red light and siren.

But be careful, okay?
Okay. Thanks.

All right.
Get in the truck, kids.

And fasten your seatbelts.

Uh...

I... I... Ah!

[CRASHING]

Hey, how you guys doing? Hey.

Hey, you guys, how are you? Doc.

DIXIE: Want some coffee? Yeah.

Half a cup, Dix.
That's good for me.

How's Mr. Anderson
doing? He's doing fine.

As a matter of fact,
he's on his way home now.

Oh, yeah? That's good.

Hey, guess who's going to
the big game tomorrow, for free.

You?

Nope,
our two favorite paramedics here.

No kidding. You're kidding.

How'd you guys swing that?
Are you working there?

We volunteered for it
about a month ago.

Yeah, and this just happened to
be the game that they sent us to.

That's really great. That's probably
the biggest game of the season.

Yeah, I know, I know.

But I wouldn't worry too much about it,
'cause I think they're sold out,

so it'll be on TV.

Yeah. Still not the
same as being there.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah,
I know what you mean.

Listen, I'll tell you what. You know,
when they have the crowd sh*ts,

Roy and I will wave
at y'all if you want.

[LAUGHING]

Thanks a bunch.

We'll see you later.

I'm not finished my coffee.

Okay. See you later.

JOE: See you guys later.

You know, Kel,
maybe they'll be assigned to the end zone.

[CHUCKLES]

I doubt it.

With their luck they'll probably
end up on the 50-yard line.

I'm not gonna wish
you guys a good time

'cause I know you're
gonna have one.

Well, you never know,
we just might be too busy.

JOHNNY: Hey, Chet? Yeah.

Guys going up to your place
to watch the game?

Yep, Mike and the Cap are
bringing some drinks over.

Yeah,
and I'm gonna barbecue the hamburgers.

Oh, yeah? Sounds like fun.

Yeah, well,
it's not like being there.

Hey, well, listen,
if you guys miss anything, we'll...

Roy and I will... We'll tell
you what happened, okay?

GIGGLING.

Terrific.

See you guys later. JOHNNY: All right,
see you later, Chet!

Take it easy.

You're rubbing that in
a little thick, aren't you?

Hey,
listen. He'd be doing the same thing to us.

If he had the opportunity.

You know, we only got about an
hour and a half until that briefing.

So you'd better hurry up.
You know what I mean?

Hey, don't rush me.

Hew Yeah?

[SCREAMS]

What'd you do that for?
That was cold!

[FIGHT SONG PLAYING]

We have six two-man teams.

Here are your stations.

Smith and Kenny, tunnel 4.

Gage and DeSoto, tunnel 8.

Cutler and Lewis,
tunnel 12. Tunnel 8?

[INAUDIBLE] Schmidt and Clark,
tunnel 16.

Johnson and Carl, tunnel 20.

And Murphy and Anders,
you're at 24.

You each have a Coliseum radio.

We'll be on channel 2,
and security's on 1.

Okay. Any questions?

Okay. Listen,
I'll be down on the field during the game,

and I will coordinate
your rescues.

Let's go to work.

Thank you. Thank you.

[FANFARE PLAYING ON PA]

[CROWD ROARS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ON PA]

Oh, this is gonna be great!

Yeah. I sure hope we
don't get a lot of action.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Well,
it's the biggest game of the season,

that's what everyone is saying.

But in my words,
it's the biggest game of the decade.

It's a real event.

Yes, sir,
the National Championship is on the line,

a bid for the Rose Bowl
and the Heisman Trophy.

Jim, how do you
adjudge today's teams?

Well, now that you ask,
Drew, what I think...

Both teams are equally
strong on the defense,

with SC having a slight
edge on the offense.

However, let's not forget
that Stanford's passing att*ck

is truly one of the most effective
in the country. Don't you agree?

Uh, yeah. As a matter of fact...

Why don't we take a look
at today's starting lineup?

You know something?

It's amazing to me why he
keeps doing a show with this guy.

He keeps cutting him off
all the time.

Yeah, I know.

McKay's kid. What's his number?

You're asking me? I don't know.

Where'd you get those?

They're for my kids.

Oh.

Hey, you know,
maybe you'd better take that thing off.

But why?

Well, we're...
We're on the job here.

Hey, how you doing? Hi.

You guys drew duty
for the big one, huh?

Yeah. You lucky dogs.

Yeah,
it's gonna be great. It's gonna be okay!

"Okay"? What do you mean,
it's gonna be "okay"?

We're right here
on the 50-yard line.

You think that's just okay?

You got the best
seats in the house.

Times like this I wish
I was a paramedic.

Yeah.

What time you got?

Almost 1:00.

Should be time for the kickoff.

Hey, if you guys miss anything
while you're treating someone,

I'll fill you in
when you get back.

Well, I hope we don't
have to take you up on that.

ANNOUNCER ON PA: USC has
won the toss and has elected to receive.

Stanford will defend
the east goal.

[CROWD CHEERING] Hey!

There's a problem in the tunnel!

There's a guy choking!

Okay! We'll be right down.

This is Team 8. We have a
man down the tunnel. Tunnel 8.

SUSAN ON RADIO.' 10-4, Team 8.

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

[MAN RETCHING]

What happened here?

Well, he was rushing toward me with
a hot dog and soft drinks in his mouth

then he just started
coughing and gagging.

I think he's got...

Could you hold him up here,
please? Just hold him up. That's it.

You're all right. You're okay.

ANNOUNCER: SC's ball.
First and 10 on the 23-yard line.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Okay, folks,
just move through one at a time, please.

On this side. Breathe. You okay?

You all right
breathing out? Yes.

Okay,
I want you to sit down against the wall.

Yeah, that's good. That's good.
All right. There you go. All right.

Okay. Can you
sit up on your own?

[PANTING] Yeah. Yeah. Sure?

Yeah.

[BREATHING HEAVILY] Okay. Just try
to relax, okay? Slow your breathing down.

Okay.

We're gonna get a BP on you.

Got a pulse of 90. All right.

I guess I swallowed
too big a bite.

Yeah. I guess you did. You
should watch that. It's dangerous.

I was in too big of a
hurry to get to my seat.

I'm lucky you guys were
here. That was scary.

I couldn't breathe.

Okay. You got a
respiration of 25.

You know, you should
see a doctor.

I will. Right after the game.

ROY: All right.

Why don't you try breathing
in here? Take a deep breath.

Come on, take a deep one.

No. That hurt at all?

Take another one.

ANNOUNCER: Stanford has
recovered the ball on USC.

S-yard line
and it's first and goal.

All right.

All right.

You're just gonna have to
slow down a little bit, all right?

All right. Take care. We'll
help you gather up your stuff.

Just a jacket
and this program here?

Stand up on your own here.

Let's see what you can do.
I'll give you a hand.

Can you make it?

Yeah. Okay. Here you go.

Here's the program.
Here's your jacket.

MAN: Stay to one side, please.

There you go. Thank you.

Okay. You see that doctor,
all right?

I will. Right after the game.

You know something? What?

That guy was a Stanford fan.

[LAUGHS]

ROY: Team 8 available. SUSAN.' 10-4,


Hey,
do you want some peanuts? Sure.

You got a quarter?

Just one second.

Thanks, Roy.

[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER: Pass incomplete.
Second down and goal.

Roy, what happened?
I don't know.

What happened?

What happened, sir?

MAN: Hey, you,
down in the front.

What happened? Do you know? Yeah,
lots.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

MAN: Hey, down in front!

All right! I'm down! I'm down!

What happened?

I don't know, but whatever it was,
we missed it.

Well, who's got the ball?

Did you see that?

They're down in the end zone.

Ow! My foot!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

They're down in
the end zone. Yeah.

Who's got the ball?

I don't know. But I sure wish
we had an instant replay on that.

I think you might have
broken my toe.

WALTERS: Here's a replay of the
touchdown... Hey, how's it going?

Wow! What an incredible game.

Yeah? You just won't believe it.

And look at that blocking.
Look at that play, Dix!

He sweeps around the right end
and dives into the end zone.

He fumbles the ball there but he had
possession when he went over the goal line,

so that's good for six points.
I've gotta go to Pediatrics.

Keep me up to date
on what's happening.

Yeah.

I'll keep your seat
warm for you.

There's the snap. The kick.

[WHISTLE BLOWS] It's good!

SUSAN: Team 8?

Team 8.

Possible heart, aisle 8,
row 2, seat 102.

Okay. 10-4, Team 8.

WALTERS: And there's the
whistle. There's Walker's kick, long.

Coming hard, deep to Smith. He's
got a little running room, though.

Ooh, is he hit
at the 18-yard line!

ANNOUNCER: There's a time-out
on the field.

USC ball, first and 10
on their own 18.

Okay, what happened here?

I can't get my breath. Okay.

Just relax, okay? Yeah.

What's your name?
Ellis. Tom Ellis.

Mr. Ellis? Yeah.

All right.

Just relax, Mr. Ellis,
we'll check you out.

I have cramps in my legs.

My mouth feels numb.
Oh, yeah? Okay.

My hand's tingling. Fingers...

All right. Do you have any
history of heart problems?

No. No.

No?

Okay. Do you have
any pain in your chest?

No. I just can't get my breath.

Can't get your breath? Okay.

You want to hand me
those pads over there?

Yeah.

Okay.

Now, we're gonna put
these pads on you here

so we can check out and see
what your heart's gonna do.

All right. Okay.

[PUMPING BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF]

JOHNNY: All righty.

Just take it easy. Try to slow your
breathing down if you can, okay?

Try not to get so
excited. All right.

Okay.

Mrs. Ellis? Uh-huh.

Has anything like this
ever happened before?

Yeah. Quite a bit. His doctor
says he just breathes too fast.

ROY: Uh-huh. He
just breathes too fast?

Yeah.

Probably
hyperventilating a little bit.

Why don't you try
breathing into this bag?

Okay. Nothing to worry about.

We got a BP of


Get your pulse here.

Got that okay? Yeah, I got it.

Just breathe into that
nice and easy.

Okay, Mr. Ellis, you're
just gonna have to, uh,

breathe a little bit
easier, okay?

Right. Thanks.

Okay. He's got a
pulse of 110. All right.

Your husband is...

He's just
hyperventilated himself.

He's just gonna have to slow
his breathing down a little bit.

Well, that's Tom. You know,
he's always up for the game.

I mean, you'd think
he was playing sometimes,

the way he paces around
before the kickoff.

I mean,
he just lives and breathes football.

We get these seats down front

so we can get closer
to the action.

It's gonna be okay, honey.

[CROWD CHANTING ENCOURAGEMENT]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

ANNOUNCER: Touchdown,
number 19, J.K. McKay, USC.

MR. ELLIS: Hey,

MRS. ELLIS: Come on,
honey, sit down.

What happened? They...

MRS. ELLIS: Sit down, honey.

Oh, thanks, fellas,
I appreciate it.

Yeah, it's quite all right.

USC, 7, Stanford, 7.

ROY: This is Team 8, available.

MAN: Hey, watch it down there.

Did you see that touchdown?

Did I see it?

McKay. What a
beautiful play. Fantastic.

So it was McKay? Yeah.

Yeah, I thought it would be.

I didn't see anything. Did
you see anything at all?

Are you kidding?

You know something?

This doesn't make any sense.

There's 10 paramedics
in the stadium.

I mean,
I think we've had our share of runs.

Yeah. Yeah, well,
I hope you're right.

Oh, I know I'm right.

I mean, it's just pure statistics,
that's all it is.

Just pure statistics.

Hey, you know,
speaking of statistics,

did you see the stats
on Ricky Bell?

SUSAN: Team 8.

Team 8.

Man down, aisle 8,
row 78, seat 14.

Man.

Team 8, 10-4.

[CROWD CHEERING]

You guys got more yardage
than some of the players today.

Oh, my God.

ANNOUNCER.' Time-out, USC.

Say,
will you guys do me a favor? What?

The next time you go out,
would you pick me up a hot dog?

I don't wanna miss
any of the game.

All right. Okay. Thank you.

It's okay.

I don't believe this.

Six calls and the first
quarter isn't even over yet.

Whatever happened to
your law of averages?

All right, okay. All right.

At least the peanuts
are still warm.

Peanuts. What happened
to my peanuts?

SUSAN: Team 8.

Team 8.
We're rotating positions.

Report to the field, south side,


[LAUGHING] That's us! All right!

ANNOUNCER: USC ball

Come on! That's down
where the trenches are.

I've never seen a game
from the sidelines before.

ANNOUNCER: There's a flag
on the field.

You guys are lucky. I've never
seen a game from the sidelines.

Best place to watch
the game. Yeah.

Hey, don't forget the hot
dog on the way back, huh?

ROY: Boy,
wait till Chet hears about this.

JOHNNY: Yeah.

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

Not from me, he won't.

[ANNOUNCER CHATTERING]
Can you see anything at all?

Yeah. Yeah. Number 65,
number 61, number 51, number 71.

Yeah, I know. I feel like I'm
standing in a 10-foot hole.

Here.

Can you see anything?

Hey, Roy. Come here, come here,
look at this. Look at this.

Oh...

[GRUNTING]

McWHORTER: He has clear
sailing down the sidelines.

Then, from nowhere,
Earl dives at him,

knocking him out of bounds
and into the photographer.

Hey, that's Johnny and Roy.

Hey, that guy took
a pretty good hit.

McWHORTER:
Now back to live action.

As you can see, paramedics are now
examining the injured photographer.

Here we go. I'll get it, Joe.

[BUZZING]

Breathing weak.

Respiration, 16.

ROY: Rampart,
this is Coliseum 8.

Yeah, Team 8,
this is Rampart. Go ahead.

Uh, we have a male
victim here. In his thirties.

He's unconscious with
possible head and neck injuries.

Pupils look unequal,
left one more reactive than the right.

Uh, the vital signs are, the pulse is 80,
the respirations are 16.

The pupillary response is that the
left eye is more reactive than the right.

Stand by for BP.

ANNOUNCER: First down,
USC. 150 over 95.

BP is 150 over 95, Rampart.

Pupillary response
remains the same.

Rampart,
the pupillary response is the same

and the ambulance is at scene.

Team 8, use caution
in moving the patient.

Start an IV with D5W,
establish an airway, administer O2

and transport
as soon as possible.


Johnny, get all that?

Yeah.

We're gonna need a
collar and a backboard.

Okay.

Dix, will you get a portable x-ray
unit ready and have Joe stand by?

Right, Kel.

[CROWD CHANTING ENCOURAGEMENT]

JOHNNY: Let me get
under him here.

Okay. George, you under?

Okay, ready? Easy now,
one, two, three.

Yeah, okay. Is he on straight?

Yeah. PARAMEDIC:
Looks great here.

ROY: You got him? Yeah.

Let's get this on.

All right,
establish the airway now.

ANNOUNCER: Pass incomplete.
Second and 10.

Reflexes are
unequal on our victim.

We're establishing the airway
and we're awaiting transport.


monitor vitals and transport.

10-4, Rampart.

There's a time-out on the field.

Now, to bring you up to date
on that injured photographer,

he's being taken to a hospital
with an apparent head injury.

It's a shame that something
like that had to happen.

We'll try to get you a report on his
condition just as soon as possible.

[SIREN WAILING]

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

Room 7.

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

His vitals were stable
on the way in, Doc.

Good.

KELLY: Okay, up.

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Allan, 63. Dr. Allan, 63.

You need us for
anything else, Doc?

No, we got it, Roy. Thank you.

No evidence of papilledema.

His right side seems unaffected.
Here's where he took the blow, Kel.

Yeah.

BP is 140 over 92.

Set up for an echoencephalogram
and a possible lumbar puncture.

Malcolm, I want a full
skull and spinal series, stat.

Okay.

It doesn't look
too good, does it?

I know.

Well, you saw
how hard he was hit.

[SIGHS] Yeah, we'll know a lot
more when the tests come back.

All right! Okay!

I hate to admit it,
but we're missing a good game.

Yeah. Sure is a lot better on television,
though.

Isn't it?

You know, I don't blame you.

Oh, hey, Doc, Dix.
How's he doing?

Well, he's conscious now and I don't
think there'
be any permanent damage.

The x-rays are negative. Coffee,
Dix?

Yes, please. I thought you guys
were due back at the Coliseum.

Oh, we were. But the
ambulance threw a fan belt,

so we're stuck here
for a few minutes.

WALTERS: He's being chased.

He's sacked on the 44-yard line.

All right! Did you
see that? Look at that!

WALTERS: Lopez read
that play like he owned it.

Thank you.

Must be kind of a drag having to
watch it on TV after being there.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.
It's a real drag.

But you know,
after being down there and then seeing...

You know, we'd better get going.
That ambulance should be out there.

Yeah.

Well, we'll see you
a little later.

[JOHNNY SIGHING]

We'll see you... So long.

See you guys-

Boy, I sure do envy those guys.

I don't know.

I got a feeling we're gonna see
more of the game than they will.

WALTERS: And there's the snap.

It's a high,
end-over-end kick...

Oh, you know, the reason I
cut you off back at the hospital,

you know, with
Dixie and Brackett,

I didn't want you to admit to them that
we hadn't seen the game, you know?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[sum-nus]

Hey,
you got a commercial radio in this thing?

No such animal.

What?

That's negative.

Figures.

Boy,
you guys were really gone a long time.

Yeah, well...

You must've seen all that
action really close up, huh?

[MUFFLED] Yeah, we saw it.

Guess they kept you
busy down there.

Yeah, they did.

Yeah, you must've been the guys
taking care of that photographer, huh?

Yeah. How is he?

He's gonna be okay.

That's good.

Hey,
anything you want me to fill you in on?

Yeah,
what's happening right now?

It's a time-out.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, you didn't forget
my hot dog, did you?

Oh, no, I didn't.

Here,
you wanna hold on to this for me?

There you go. It's
just got fluff over it.

I think it's still warm, though.

Uh, thanks. What do I owe you?

Oh, it's on me. Go ahead.

He's mad.

He's mad? Do you
wanna know something?

I haven't heard anybody else
mentioned on this radio all day.

You know what that means?

Yeah, it means there's 10
other paramedics around here

and we're the only ones
that have been doing anything.

Wonder what the time-out is for.

Twenty seconds.

Have you got all your stats?

Yeah, I think so. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, McKay is
missing. I don't have McKay's stats.

Well, look,
I don't have them. You got them over there?

I don't have them. Ten seconds.

But we gotta have McKay's stats.

Go to the radio boys next door.
See if they got McKay's stats.

Five seconds.

Hello, out there. Well,
here we have another mini feature.

Today with...

[GASPS] George! George,
cut to a commercial!

Alex, cut camera! Cut camera! Howard,
we've got a problem here.

McWhorter's just passed out.
I'm calling for medical aid.

[GROANING]

Just lay back.

Yes, we've got a medical emergency
up here in the network press box.

I think it's his heart.

It might be a heart att*ck.

He looks terrible.
Help's on the way.

[McWHORTER GASPING]

Howard just said for you to
get ready to do the play-by-play.

The game's just about to start.

You're kidding.

SUSAN: Team 8.

[sum-nus]

Team 8.

There's a possible heart att*ck. Press box,
booth G.

Team 8, 10-4.

We gotta take the elevators.

Yeah.

All right. "P" for "press box."

[sums]

I wonder if this is legit.

This way.

What exactly happened?

Well, he was on the air
doing a mini feature item

when he started grabbing for his
chest and then started gasping for air.

And then he collapsed.

So then we had to cut
to a commercial quickly.

You guys been busy today?

[SCOFFS] I'd say, a little bit.

I'm Jim Walters.
It's a beautiful afternoon

here at the Los Angeles
Memorial Coliseum.

Okay, can you get
out of the way there?

Okay, thank you. Can you
get everybody out of here?

No way. We're on the air.

WALTERS: And the Trojans
of USC. An incredible first quarter.

An incredible first half.
Both teams scored once.

They're both now on the field
with their kicking teams at the ready.

The officials are there,
ready to blow the whistle,

as we go into the
second half of action here.

[REFEREE BLOWS WHISTLE] There's
the whistle, and there is the kickoff.

[CROWD CHEERING]
It's a deep, deep kick...

All right, he's got
a weak pulse,

barely palpable but rapid.

Ooh! He's hit!
And boy, is he hit.

Let's try to find out who's on the
bottom of that pile. Respiration, 30.

Number 34. I think it's Lopez.

Thirty. Yeah.

Rampart, this is
Coliseum Team 8.

Team 8, this is
Rampart, go ahead.

Rampart, we have
a male victim here.

Approximate age, 50.
Possible heart att*ck.

The patient is now diaphoretic.

The pulse is rapid
and barely palpable.

The respirations are 30. The
pupils are equal and reactive.

Stand by for BP.

Penetrate the USC defense,
but they're gonna try once again.

Here they are. They're
back at the line now.

Smith is wide right.
Franklin is wide to the left.

There's the snap.
It's a hand-off to Harris

and he's hit hard at the line of
scrimmage by number 34, Lopez.

That was another fine
play by the freshman.



Patient is unconscious
and the BP is 65 over 40.

Uh, Team 8,
start an IV with D5W TKO.

Put him on O2. And
can you send us a strip?



and we'll have a strip
to you in a few minutes.

[CROWD CHEERING LOUDLY]

A 10-yard loss for the
Cardinals there... BP's 20 over 90.

I send the strip?

Yeah.

Can you get something to dry him down? Oh,
here, I'll just use the shirt.

Okay.

They come up to the line of
scrimmage once again, and this time it's...

Uh,
excuse me. Can you get this oxygen on him?

Now,
look. I'm gonna show you what to do.

All right. Now,
keep his head back like this, okay?

Just take this.

He's got 9.5 speed in the 100,
and this man can run.

He was a terror in high school.

There's the snap... Okay,
Rampart. This will be lead two.

[BUZZING]

WALTERS: Harris, what a run. A very,
very good run for Harris...

He's in V-tach.

Team 8, that looks like V-tach.

Give him 100 milligrams Lidocaine
bolus and start a Lidocaine drip.

Uh, 100 milligrams Lidocaine
bolus and a Lidocaine drip.

WALTERS: Okay, now. Ball first
and 10 on their own 36-yard line.

Time-out on the field. All right,
there's a time-out right now,

and we're gonna be right back.

You get all that?

JOHNNY: Yeah,
I think so. How's he doing?

Uh, he's doing okay.
He's all right. Okay.

What do you got, Kel?

Take a look.

[BEEPING RAPIDLY]

V-fib!

One, two, three, four. Clear.

[BEEPING]

Again.

[BEEPING]

Flatline.

[GRUNTING]

Rampart, our patient
is in flat-line.

We've zapped him twice.
We're applying CPR

and readying an
esophageal airway.

Jim Walters back with you now
with the second-half action

of this fantastic game between the
Stanford Cardinals and the Trojans of USC.

The Trojans once again
have the ball...

All right.

Uh, Rampart,
the airway's been established.


bicarb IV and 10 ccs epinephrine IC.

One amp bicarb,


Give me the epinephrine.

WALTERS: There's the snap.
It's a hand-off to the tailback.

He's heading for the right
sideline. He's got room!

He's forced out of bounds
at Stanford's 27-yard line...

Okay, can we stop CPR?

It's second down and
about two yards to go.

Trojans are out of the huddle. McKay left,
Anderson to the right.

There's the snap and McKay is
going long. All right. Stop CPR.

Very long! It's going to be
a pass! It's there! It's going...

He's conductive.

Uh, Rampart, we've got a ventricular
rhythm of 40 and he is conductive.

Team 8, can you send us
another strip and check his BP?

Uh, 10-4, Rampart. Another strip
coming up. We'll take another BP.

WALTERS: Apparently
has knocked him out.

The team trainer is
there on the field,

ministering to him right now.

I think he's
going to be all right,

and he gets a little hand there

from the Cardinal fans
here at the Coliseum,

and he walks off
under his own power.

Okay, so, the Trojans,
a third first down here in this quarter,

very, very quickly
in three plays,

and they have made an
incredible thr*at here...

[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER: USC ball on
Stanford's 8-yard line, goal to go.

[SIREN WAILING]

Four.

JOHNNY: Okay, thanks a lot.

Better make us available.

Team 8 available.

Huh, that's strange.

Team 8. Available.

Can you b*at that?

They ask for us the whole day,

and when we want to get hold of them,
we can't.

Well, no wonder we
couldn't get a hold of anybody.

[SHOUTING] Who won?

[ECHOING]

I wonder if it was a good game.

I don't know.

We'll probably find out
from Chet tomorrow.

God, I hate to think about that.

Yeah.

Now the ambulance is gone.
How are we gonna get back?

Well, we can always
thumb our way.

Oh, real funny.

I'm not being funny.

[YAWNING] I sure
slept well last night.

Yeah, me, too. Coffee?

Joanne had to
wake me up for dinner.

What'd you have?

McKay was incredible!
Hey, guys, what a game!

Was that incredible?
Yeah, that was really...

Hey, it really must have
been great to be there, huh?

Yeah, it was okay.

I mean,
the last... What a cliffhanger, huh?

Nobody left till
the final g*n, I bet.

The last 10 seconds of the game?

McKay, 10 catches for 240
yards. He's gonna be a pro!

[ALL CHATTERING]
