06x16 - Family Ties

[bunniefuu]

ROY: Yeah, well...

Henry, if you're not gonna help,
get out of my way.

Did you lose your badge again,
Chet?

Marco, mind your
own business, will you?

ROY: Yeah. Sit down.

You know, you've got to hold
the department record by now.

Did you lose your badge again,
Chet?

[sums]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, look,

I'm gonna try
to get off on time,

but if I get a run,
you know how it is.

Yeah, well,
why don't you just tell her that?

Why don't you explain it to her?

I'm sure she's capable
of understanding.

[STAMMERING] I'm sorry, I'm...


didn't mean...

Okay. All right. Yeah.

Sure, it's fine. Okay.

I'll talk to you a little later.

All right. Bye-bye.

You got a problem?

Yeah, you could call it that.

My mother-in-law,
she's due in for her annual visit.

Bad, huh?

You know how it is.

I know how it is.

Listen, I'll spot you
my mother-in-law

against your mother-in-law
and five points.

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

[SIRENS WAILING]

They're coming now.
They're coming now.

Just stay right
where you are, sir.

All right, what happened?

Hey, man, ifs just
like I told the cops.

It wasn't my fault. That
guy was right on my tail.

You were the driver? Yes, sir.

I saw the whole thing.
It's just like he said.

ROY: All right.
Are you injured anywhere?

No, sir,
but it looks like they're pretty bad.

[GRUNTS]

Pry bar. Yeah.

[GRUNTS]

[ARTHUR GROANS] Okay.

We got it now. Thanks, everyone.

JOHNNY: Ma'am,
what happened? How you doing?

I don't know,
he just ran into the truck.

JOHNNY: Roy,
can you hand me a cervical collar?

ROY: Yeah.

Uh...

ROY: Are you hurt any
place else besides your head?

SUSAN: I don't think so.

Are you all right?

Hold him. Just
get me out of here!

Hey, hey, hey, settle down.
It won't be long. Help is here.

Get me out of here! Hey,
all right.

Settle down. You're
gonna hurt yourself!

Dad, stop it now.

All right, look. You keep still.

You understand?
Calm down, will you?

Just keep still.

All right, now listen to her.

All right,
you've already got a broken arm.

If you keep moving around,
you're gonna hurt it even worse.

[PANTING]
All right. Just calm down.

Okay?

All right. Now do
what she says, okay?

If you keep flailing around,

you're gonna hurt yourself.

Right. I'm gonna
let you go. All right?

[GROANS] Take it easy.

JOHNNY: All right. Okay.

I'll put a little dressing on
your head there, all right,

just to protect that wound,

and then they can examine it

once you get into the hospital.

[GRUNTS] Okay.

Okay, what do you need?

Okay, I'm gonna
need a splint for sure.

Backboard? Yeah, I'm gonna...

Get us a backboard.

All right.

Absolutely normal.

Looks like all you got is
a bang on the head there.

Why don't we get out
here on this side, okay?

Just put this away.

You can follow me around.

There. Easy. You feel all right?

Uh-huh.

ROY: Why don't you
sit down over here

on the back of the Squad?

JOHNNY: Okay, now,
this is gonna hurt a little bit.

We're gonna try not to
move as much as possible.

Just come over here
and sit down, okay?

We're gonna take care of your
father. Don't worry, all right?

Okay.

Johnny,
you need some help? Take it easy.

Uh, getting him out. Okay.

I'm gonna splint him up first.

All right. I've got the drug
box over here if you need it.

Okay. Can you
tear that open, Chet?

Okay. Let's move your
arm back just a hair.

How's that?

Okay. Thanks, Chet.

You know, you're
very, very lucky.

That could have given
you a lot of problems.

Am I gonna be all right?

You're gonna be fine.

Johnny, let me know
when you're ready.

Okay. All right.
Let's get him out.

All right. Why don't we
just jam that in as far...

Okay, can ow. Okay?

Try to help us
as much as you can,

but don't hurt
yourself, all right?

ARTHUR: All right. Okay, can ow,

I'm gonna swing you
around this way.

Uh, Roy, can you
grab his shoulders?

JOHNNY: Okay. All
right. There we go.

Just slide onto there.
ARTHUR: Okay.

JOHNNY: Let us do
most of the work. Here we go.

Okay. Is he on?

ROY: Yeah, a little
bit more. Okay.

All right.

Watch his head there.
Gently move it back.

Just keep it there.

Why don't we just set it here?

Here we go.

ROY: I'm gonna get
a blood pressure on you.

You just try to relax, okay?

ARTHUR: Okay.

Rampart,
this is County 51. How do you read me?

Go ahead, 51.

Uh, Rampart, we have two victims

of an automobile accident.
Both are conscious.

Victim number one, male,
approximately 45 years old,

has minor lacerations
on the face.

Probable broken left forearm.

We applied the splint
and the cervical collar

for precautionary means only.

Uh, there are no signs
of back or neck injury.

Stand by for vitals.

Standing by, 51.

Okay, BP is 140 over 90,

pulse is 86, respiration's 28.

[SIREN WAILING]

Rampart, vital signs,
BP 140 over 90,

pulse is 86, respiration is 28.


of further injury?

No apparent injuries
at this time, Rampart.

Hey, Al.

[GROANING]

I feel bad...

What's wrong?

I don't feel good.

You don't feel good?
What's the matter with you?

I just feel sick.

Feel sick?
You feel dizzy at all?

I feel dizzy. Feel dizzy.

Looks like he's
sliding into shock.

[MUMBLING INCOHERENTLY]

Sir? All right,
take it easy. Just take it easy.

[WHIMPERING]

What's the matter?

I feel cold.

All right, why don't
you grab him a blanket?

All right,
you just hang on. Cover him up.

SUSAN: It's okay.

Okay, sir,
where are you feeling pain exactly?

Can you tell me?

[GROANS] My stomach.

Your stomach? Not in your chest,
just your stomach?

Rampart, this is County 51
again. How do you read me?

Go ahead, 51.

He's got pain here in
his upper left quadrant.

Uh, Rampart,
on our two automobile accident victims...

ROY: Okay. On our first victim,

male, 45 years old... All right.

Just get a blood pressure here.

JOHNNY: His conscious
level is dropping.

He's lethargic.

Susie. I'm here.

It's okay. It's okay. He's got
pain in the upper left quadrant.

Stand by for a second set of Vitals.
We'll be out of here in a minute.

Okay.

Susie? Huh?

You go back to school.

You get to be a doctor,
Susie, you hear me?

Okay. Okay. Shh.

He said you did so great.

I'm your dad, you listen to me.

Okay.

BP is 80 over 50.

Got a pulse of 150.
Stand by for respiration.



Uh, Rampart,
second set of vitals.

BP 80 over 50, pulse is 150,
respiration is 30.

He seems to be going into shock.


saline to run wide open,

as distal as possible.

Apply anti-shock trousers.

KELLY ON RADIO: Continue
to monitor patient's vitals closely

and transport
as soon as possible.

Uh, 10-4, Rampart. Cap...

Dix, we're gonna
need two IVs going.

And get a cut-down
tray ready, okay?

[RADIO CHATTER]

JOHNNY: There we go.

It's okay. It's okay, Dad.

Okay, ready to move.

Connie. Yes.

Prep his right arm
for the cut-down.

Let's take a look, Mike.

[ARTHUR GROANS]

Abdomen's rigid and distended.

I feel a left-sided mass.
Do you feel that?

Could be his spleen.

Let's get this back.

[ARTHUR GROANS]

[PUMPING AIR]

There we go.

Lift his arm for me.

All right.

Okay.

Connie. Yes.

Alert OR for an emergency
exploratory laparotomy.

Yes, Doctor.

Then get a type and crossmatch,

and have the lab send
us six units of blood.

Okay?

Okay, Joe.

Let's fix the road.

Okay.

And something for the pain.

Hemostats.

[GROANING]

Mike, when I get through here,

get him up to x-ray,
then to surgery, stat, okay?

Right, Joe.

Susan, I'm gonna send you
up to x-ray for a few pictures

then I think you should
be able to go home.

How's Dad? Is he still in shock?

I don't know. We may
have to operate immediately.

If you could fill out
these forms now,

it would help.

Of course. Over here.

Joe? This is Mr. Basye's daughter,
Susan.

This is Doctor Early.
How are you, Susan?

Do you know
what's wrong, Doctor?

I really can't say
until after surgery,

but he had signs
of internal bleeding.

Sounds like it could
be a ruptured spleen.

You seem very
knowledgeable about medicine.

Are you a doctor?

Uh...

Oh, no. I was...
I'm in medical school.

Do you have a phone I could
use? I should call home right away.

Sure. Right over here.

[sums]

Uh, Roy, would you
take that to Marco?

[CHUCKLES] Think
he might like that one.

What's with him, anyway?

Uh, he's depressed.

See, his mother-in-law
is coming to visit him.

She comes by about once a...

Well! Bill.

No, Chet.

Uh, this is a bill, Chet.

Hmm.

His mother comes by once a year,
stays a couple of weeks,

rides him, nags him to death.

[SCOFFS] That's her idea
of a vacation.

Well, she couldn't be that bad.

Uh, yes, she can. She's worse.

See, you have to understand,
Roy is a no-good bum

that her daughter
got stuck with.

[CHUCKLES] It's incredible.
You ought to hear it.

[IMITATING MOTHER-IN-LAW]
How come you're not a doctor?

If you got the brains
to be a paramedic,

you should have the brains
to be a doctor.

Really, one of those, huh?

JOHNNY: Yep.

You guys gonna stand around
here and do nothing all day?

Uh, Roy, are you gonna send your
mother-in-law down to whip us in shape?

I don't believe you!

Big mouth! Wait a minute!

Why don't you call
Dispatch Wait a minute!

And send out
a general announcement?

Roy, we're your friends.
Here's a letter.

Look, we're your friends.
He can know.

We're just trying to help you
through these trying times of yours.

You're trying
to help me through?

Boy, is that
a depressing thought.

What would you know?
You've never been married.

Oh, well, we know all about mother-in-laws,
don't we, Johnny?

Now, wait a minute. I don't know
anything about mother-in-laws,

and I don't want to know
anything about mother-in-laws.

I know all about mother-in-laws.

I mean, my mother was
also a mother-in-law

and I got a couple of aunts
who are mother-in-laws.

Don't worry about a thing...

WOMAN ON PA: Doctor Reed,
Treatment Room 3.

Doctor Reed, Treatment Room 3.

Just keep that up.

DIXIE: If you'll hold on
for a minute, Susan,

I'll check for you.

Yeah. Hold on.

It's Susan Basye. She wants
to know how her father's doing.

Okay. Let me talk to her.

Susan, this is Doctor Brackett.

How are you doing?

Good.

He's doing just fine.

Yes, I just came
from seeing him.

And you were right,
the spleen was ruptured,

but we caught it in time and he
came through the operation nicely.

No, not tonight,
tomorrow morning would be better.

Sure. You're welcome.

You take care of yourself, huh?

Anytime after nine.

Bye now.

Smart young lady.
She's gonna do well.

You notice how Kel always
gets the fun part of playing doctor?

Giving out the good news,

especially to single ladies.

Hey, speaking of good news,
I have some, too.

They decided on Acapulco
for this year's convention.

You're kidding!

Now, I seem to recall
you both mentioning

the place was high
on your list of favorites.

Yeah.

That's where I found those wonderful
enchiladas I was telling you about,

smothered with that
thick, rich tomato sauce,

sprinkled with
that marvelous cheese

and just a dash
of green pepper...

It was uh,

siempre delicioso.
How's my Spanish, Kel?

Hey, not bad. Well,
I wouldn't know about that,

I practically lived
on the tennis court.

Played some of the best
tennis I ever played.

Not to mention getting
a great suntan.

Sounds like one of you
is gonna have a great time.

Hey, that's right.

Oh, yeah.

We gotta decide who's gonna go.

No problem, Joe.

I can play tennis anytime.

But those enchiladas...
You go, huh?

No, the food isn't that
much. It's too rich anyway.

I'll probably eat too much
and get sick.

You go, Kel.

It's a business
trip anyway, Joe,

I probably wouldn't even have
time to pick up a racket.

You go.

Kel, you're gonna go
and that's final.

We'll settle it later, huh?

It's settled now.
Pack your bags!

You guys are hopeless.

Do other people have
such heavy problems?

[CHUCKLES]

When she stayed
with us last year,

you wouldn't believe it. I had to
sleep on the couch every night.

I don't even
wanna talk about it.

I told you,
Roy. All you have to do is humor the woman.

Humor? Humor is not
the lady's strong point.

I don't think she has any teeth.

I've never seen her smile.

Doesn't look to me like you've lost
your sense of humor anyway, yet.

Hey, Cap, you're married.

What do you do
about mothers-in-law?

STANLEY: I get along
fine with mine.

A couple of years back,
I introduced her

to a rich lawyer friend
of mine. He married her.

Now, the two of them
hate each other so much

that neither one of them
has spoken to me since.

That's what you got to do,

find somebody your mother-in-law
can hate more than you.

Oh, you volunteering
for the position?

Oh, no, he's already
got too much to handle.

You guys are just full of ideas.

Too bad they're all lousy.

Look, I wouldn't give up, yet.

You haven't heard from Stoker. Go ahead,
Stoke.

Well, it seems to me
the best thing you can do

is learn to live with it.

I think you can give up now.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[sums]

Look what just arrived.

The brochures for
the Acapulco convention.

Good.

Kel's going to need
these for his reservations.

Joe, I just talked to him
a little while ago.

He's not gonna go.

I don't know why
he's being so stubborn.

I'm only trying to
do the man a favor.

I thought you two
might have gotten

this whole thing
settled over lunch.

We didn't. I ate alone.

Skimmed milk and a salad.

Oh, are you on a diet?

Take it easy, Dix.

[sums]

Kel?

What is going on with you two?

I don't know what you're talking about,
Dix. There's nothing going on.

Nothing is right. You're not
even speaking to each other.

Look, I offered
to let him go to Acapulco

and he refused.
What more can I say?

Oh! Much more than that, I hope.

Why don't you just go?

I could if I wanted to.

I was merely trying
to be generous.

Can I help it if he wants
to be ungrateful?

Well, personally,
I think you're both being ridiculous.

You know, Joe feels
very badly about this.

Dix, you just don't understand.

Well, at least just
talk to him, okay?

Okay. Okay. Maybe later.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Shapiro,
Emergency area.

Dr. Shapiro, Emergency area.

Dad, it's gonna be
okay. You'll see.

It's gonna be fine.
You just sit down here.

May I help you?

Uh, yes, it's my father.

He's been having
these stomach pains.

They've gone.
I ain't got a one now.

I don't care!

It's high time you
had a proper doctor.

May I have his full name?

Yes, Greg Thorne.

[ROY GRUNTING]

[EXHALES]

Well, hi, I'm open for
suggestions for dinner.

Yeah? You need them.
Sorry, can't help you.

Jansen's working half-shift
and I'm getting out of here.

Well, thanks, Roy,
you're a lot of help.

What're you doing?

I'm doing sit-ups.

Got a little bit of a potbelly,
decided I'd work it off.

You know, get back into shape.

Well, I got news for you.

You're not going to get into shape
that way until you do it properly.

You gotta keep
your feet on the ground.

[sums]

What's he doing? He
thinks he's getting into shape.

Hey, what do you think
I'd look like with a mustache?

[sum-nus]

Not too good, huh?

Not on your best day, pal.

What do you want
with a mustache?

Well, I don't,
really, but, uh...

My mother-in-law, she...

She loves Clark Gable, you know,
he's got a nice mustache.

He's real trim.

I thought maybe if I exercise,
got my weight down a little bit...

Cap, you think he could
pass as a movie star?

Sure, of course he could.

He could?

Groucho Marx. Very funny.

Come on, let's go
get some supplies.

Wait a minute,
I'm not through...

Charlie Chan?

Chet, can you
finish these for me?

I'm busy. Charlie Chaplin.

Beef Wellington.

We're gonna have enchiladas.

Pulse is 80.

This is Doctor Early.

Look, as long as you're here,

why don't you let the
doctor look at you?

Okay, Mr. Thorne,
you mind telling me

about the stomach pains
you've been having?

He's been having them
for more than a week!

This is his daughter.

Let me go home,
have my compound and I'll be fine.

Compound? What are
you talking about?

This tonic.

MR. THORNE: You had it
the whole time!

"Sister Duncan's
Herbal Compound."

You mean you've been
taking this for your stomach?

Nah, I used to have pains
in my finger joints and knees.

Sister Duncan cured
them right up for me.

Smell it, you'll see why.

Just drop an olive in it.

I bet you that it's
about 50% alcohol.

Does this woman make it herself?

Right in her kitchen.

You people ought
to try it around here.

Can cure pretty nearly anything.

How much have you been taking?

Two bottles every day.

At $2.50 a bottle. She's
been ripping you blind!

And worth every penny of it.

It's not only junk,
it's dangerous.

I mean, a person
could really be sick.

And if they're going to a quack,
they don't get treatment in time.

It does happen, unfortunately.

First of all, Mr. Thorne,
you've got to stop taking this stuff.

We're going to have it analyzed.

I can just about guarantee you it is
exactly what your daughter says it is. Junk.

All right, now lie down here.

A lot you know. You
ain't got an open mind.

Would you lie down?

No, I'm getting out of here.

Mr. Thorne,
I'd like to examine you.

No.

Will you do what he says?

I said I'd come down here.

I didn't say I'd let no
closed-minded doctor poke at me.

Now, give me my pants.

Doctor! I'm terribly sorry.

I can't help your father
if he won't let me,

but I think it would be very wise
if you see the District Attorney

about this Sister Duncan.

Oh, he's disgusting!

Stumbling about like that,
day after day, drunk as a lord!

Mr. Thorne,
how much of this have you had today?

What's gone from the bottle.
I'm a good bit behind today.

You shouldn't be this drunk.

Would you open
your mouth, please?

Mmm-mmm.

Would you open your mouth,
please, Mr. Thorne?

Open your mouth! Hey!

And you'll get your pants back
when you do what you're told.

Nurses!

Do you work around
chemicals or paints?

I'm retired.
Now, give me my pants!

No, you get up here.

You've got to
stay here for a while.

Dix, have this analyzed right
away. Notify the proper authorities.

And, Caroline, would you mind
handing me that mirror a moment?

See what you done?
That's what she wants,

to get my compound away from me.

Everything else
is just a smokescreen.

Look, now, will you open
your mouth, Mr. Thorne?

Can you see all right? Uh-huh.

Do you see that
blue line in your gums?

Uh-huh.

That's a sign of lead poisoning.

Lead poisoning?

That's right. Now, if you continue taking
that compound, it's going to k*ll you.

MR. THORNE: You really mean
what you're saying?

I really mean that. You already
have a pretty bad case right now.

Now what am I going to do?

After this, she won't even let
me have a beer in the house.

Doggone it!

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in.

Kel? Can I talk to you
for a moment?

Sure.

Sit down.

I've been thinking about this,
and thinking, and thinking about this.

Kel, this Acapulco thing has
gotten completely out of hand.

We've got to settle it,
and we've got to settle it right now.

Joe, I'm telling you,
if I wanted to go, I would.

But it makes absolutely no
difference to me whatsoever.

I am not going
to listen to that.

You are going to Acapulco.
Case closed.

No, case reopened.

Think of the enchiladas,
Joe. You can't miss that opportunity.

Oh, come on, Kel, you know
that argument is irrelevant.

Besides, this is
a business trip.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR] Come in.

Joe, this is not a legal battle!

It's just a question
of which one of us

is gonna go to the convention this year,
that's all.

You both do.
Yeah, you heard right.

That's impossible, Dix.

Come on, Dix, let's be serious.

Well, I'm quite serious.

Now, I realize you're both having a
wonderful time being terribly noble,

but it just won't work.

Now look, you will be
in Acapulco for five days,

from the sixth to the eleventh.

I have checked, and you are not scheduled
to work together during that period.

Therefore, we won't be
short a doctor at any time.

And Mike Morton has volunteered
to fill in whenever necessary.

Dix, it's not gonna work.

No. That isn't going to work.
Kel's right.

Sorry, fellows. You're just going to
have to accept it and enjoy yourselves.

Besides, did you ever think I might be
glad to get rid of both of you for a while?

[SIGHS] Well,
if that's the way she feels about it...

Hmm. I guess I can't
argue with that logic.

There, isn't that better?

Did you enjoy the rub-down?

Well, good. In that case, I'll be back in
about an hour, and I'll give you another one.

Would you like your radio on?

Okay.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Is that okay?

Okay. Now, you have a good afternoon,
and I'll see you in a bit.

[HISSING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I wonder where that Johnny is.

[ALARM BUZZING]

You've got a red light
over here.

Yeah, it's probably nothing. You know,
it's a warning buzzer on a respirator.

They're kind of sensitive,
but you can't be too careful, though.

Off and on all the time.

Roy! Roy, come here, quick!

[COUGHING]

The oxygen.
All right, I'll shut it off.

There's an extension
out here in the hallway.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

Code Red, 127, emergency.
Code Red. 127, emergency.

WOMAN ON PA: Code Red, 127,
emergency. Code Red, 127, emergency.

Code Red, 127, emergency.
Code Red, 127, emergency.

What happened, Mike?
Respiratory arrest.

Start bagging her, Michele.

Fire in 127,
we had to drag her out.

All right,
get me a crash cart and another nurse!

Right.

I'm getting a weak pulse,
Mike. Restart that IV. One amp bicarb.

Doc, the fire's out.

All right, thanks, Roy.

Let me get this tape on.

Draw blood for gases.

All right.

Let me have that. Mmm-hmm.

BP 90 over 60.

She's starting to pink up.

She's breathing
on her own, Doctor.

Let's get her on O2, huh?

Doc, is she going to be okay?

Yeah, I think she's
gonna be just fine.

Get this to the lab, stat.

Right away, Doctor.

Thanks, you guys did a good job.

Oh! Hey, guys, what's up?

Oh, nothing much.

Oh, yeah?

What's she doing
out in the hall?

You know, in just one minute, I'm going
to have this thing completely ready to go.

Do you know what you're doing?

Of course I know what I'm doing.

I'm completely
read up on it, all right?

I just want to test
this starter engine.

Okay.

You know, I bet this thing will
go higher than a two-stager!

Once we make sure this engine
works all right, we'll put it together

and we'll be all set!

Well, don't you think we
ought to test it outside first?

Mom's not home,
and she'll k*ll us if anything goes wrong.

Don't worry about it, okay? I told
you I had it completely under control.

I sure hope so.

maybe, a little.
