I had to... me and the blood is stacked if I let you go.
Where's Reed? Where's our help?
Settle down. We'll settle down until we get out of here.
I know. I'll help you.
Hey, cop! I want to talk a deal.
Trangia! Shag's for Reed!
How about it?
You can't do that. You gotta take care of me.
Hey, boy, you gotta shut up!
You got a minute to make up your mind.
Station 51. Sheriff reports man cut in an air conditioning duct.
2913 North Fallon.
Cross Street Gale. Timeout 2017.
10-4. KMG 365.
Never fails. When you get hooked on a television show, you get on a run.
Here goes with the territory.
Where is he?
He's upstairs somewhere. You may have to rip half this place apart.
I'll show you.
He says he's hurt.
How bad?
We don't know.
He's a burglar. Probably the same guy that's been hittin' pretty good for the past couple of months.
He crawls in through the air ducts.
And that's where he went in.
You are kidding.
He's got to be the skinniest crook in town.
Hey!
Get me out.
I can't see much. The thing takes a turn right here.
I guess he must have hid out in here until the building closed.
He's been beating the window and door along this.
But I guess when he got stuck, he panicked and yelled for help.
Night watchman heard him and called us.
Hey!
See if you can give me a boost up.
Here we go.
There's the ladder, Johnny.
Put your foot over it. There we go.
Hey!
What do you know?
The county fire department rescue squad.
You guys took your own sweet time.
What are you doing here?
All right, take it easy. Where are you hurt?
I don't cut up on something. I'm bleeding.
How far up are you?
I don't know.
Well, can you move?
Don't be dumb. Why do you think I'm here?
Can you move backward?
I can't move front, back, or sideways. Get me out of here.
All right, relax. We're working on it.
He's really stuck up in there.
Looks like you guys got a nice work ahead of you.
How would you like to keep thumping?
Yeah, okay.
Sounds like we're getting close.
Hey!
Yeah?
We've got him.
Dad's about a foot into this closet.
Kelly, the axe.
Cap?
Yeah?
He's trapped behind some pipes here. We're gonna have to cut him out.
Get me a K-12 and a ladder.
We're gonna need your K-12.
All right. All right.
Okay, I've got his feet marked.
Okay, wrap with the knuckles, okay?
Give him some leeway. We don't want to cut off a hand.
Right.
Rampart, this is rescue 51.
Rampart base, this is rescue 51.
51, this is Rampart of urgency.
Rampart, we have an injured male.
He's bleeding and in an inaccessible place.
Stand by.
10-4-51, we'll stand by.
Okay.
Hi, how you doing?
Did you have to make so much noise?
I'm nearly deaf.
Well, take it easy. Give me a hand.
Okay, Cap, you're gonna have to push it toward us.
Hey, aren't you guys ready? Take it easy.
What are you guys doing?
Don't drop this.
Hey, hold it, hold it, hold it.
Can you move your ladder over?
Okay, move that foot over there.
I don't like this.
Okay, here we go.
Take it easy.
Take it easy, will you?
Easy now.
Watch it, will you?
Watch my back, will you? Watch it.
Here, I'll take that.
Watch it, will you?
Go down slowly.
Sure is a neat package.
Maybe we can't put a bow on him and take him in as is.
You got anything?
A job like this, how many can carry a toothpick?
It takes up too much room.
Better not say anything else, Mr.
Not until we've given you your rights.
Fine with me.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up the right to remain silent,
anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to speak with an attorney
and to have the attorney present during questioning.
If you so desire and cannot afford one,
an attorney will be appointed for you without charge before questioning.
Rampart, we now have the victim.
He's a male, in his middle 30s, approximately 145 pounds.
He has a deep cut on his right side, lost a considerable amount of blood.
Hold on for vital signs.
Blood pressure is 90 over 50.
Pulse rate and respirations are both a little fast.
BP, 90 over 50.
Pulse and respiration both a little fast.
51, start an IV with Renner's lactate.
10-4.
Are there any other injuries?
Negative.
You guys treat me like I'm a piece of furniture.
You heard him.
I'm a citizen.
And condition seems to be stable.
10-4, 51, bring him right in.
10-4.
It was bound to happen sooner or later.
I knew that.
Just take it easy.
There I am.
I got this beautiful MO.
I mean, really beautiful.
And I'm scoring good.
For the first time in my life, I'm into heavy bread,
like it was falling out of my pockets.
Yeah, well, just relax.
I knew I was going to get hung up one night.
But what's the use of having money if you can't enjoy it?
Steak, baked potato, sour cream, chives, ice cream.
Ate myself right out of this perfect MO.
I put on too much weight.
But man, while it lasted, out of sight.
Staff, identify.
Hello, Doc.
How's our burglar?
Oh, he's going to be OK.
Dr. Early's sewing him up, and then he'll be on his way to the jail ward.
Sounds like a pretty wild caper.
Well, it was kind of different.
Wasn't near as wild as Adam 12, though.
I wish I knew how that turned out.
Got pulled down the middle of a TV show again, huh?
It happens every time.
Come on.
Well, watch the newspapers.
They'll probably run the same episode again in a couple months.
Yeah.
Dr. Allen, 63.
Hey, maybe we can go back and ask some of the patients in the hospital
how the show came out.
It's not that important, Johnny.
After all, it's only a television show.
Besides, visiting hours are over.
I guess so.
Italian 9 calling for an emergency planning.
Squad 3, what is your status?
Sure said I'm curious how Reed and Malloy got out of it, that's all.
Nothing wrong with that, is there?
I think it's kind of childish.
Trouble with you, Royce. You've got no curiosity.
Look, it's just a television show.
I know they got out of it okay.
I know they'll be back again next week with another problem.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
Hey, get me a doctor.
I'm bleeding to death.
What have you been drinking?
Beer.
How much?
Oh, four or five.
Did you get hit on the head?
I don't think so.
I probably hit it when I went down.
I whacked him with it.
Were you unconscious?
Uh-huh.
What happened to the other guy?
I don't know.
They pulled him off me and brought me some medicine.
They pulled him off me and brought me straight over here.
He was riding me and riding me at work.
He just wouldn't let up.
And tonight, he kept it up.
And he kept it up.
And I couldn't take it any longer.
So I belted him one.
I did.
What's the trouble?
The guy slugged me.
Did he knock you out?
No way.
Open your eyes, please.
I'm just standing there and pow, this dummy belts me with a pool cue.
Where'd he hit you?
Here and there.
Oh.
Ah, darn dummy.
I'm gonna get him fired for this.
Union or no union, he's through.
You sure you don't hurt anyplace else?
No.
Where'd all the blood come from?
I don't know.
Must be his. It ain't mine.
Who's that, the guy you're fighting with?
I fixed him. I nailed him good.
Where is he?
I don't know. Who cares?
This hurts right here, Doc.
I'll start with the facial cuts first, Dix.
What'd he use on you, a bottle?
Yeah, he got me down, kept cutting.
You better notify the sheriff.
I'm gonna kill him.
You've had enough fighting for a while.
I swear.
The next time I see him, I'll kill him.
All right, let's see.
25 pounds friction loss per hundred times eight.
That'd give you 325 GPMs out of an inch and a quarter tip.
Well?
Huh?
Is that the right answer?
What'd you say? I wouldn't even...
325 GPMs.
Right.
Yeah. If you're gonna help me, stay with me.
What's the next problem?
You know what I figure happened?
Reed got away and ran for help.
Now, I'll tell you why I figure that way.
Okay. I'm gonna settle this thing before you drive me crazy.
I just remember seeing old Adam 12 once,
where he was a track star on the high school track team.
Marvelous.
Maybe my wife watched it.
Hi, honey, it's me.
No, no, everything's fine.
Look, did you watch the Adam 12 show tonight?
Oh, great.
Well, you know the place where Reed and Malloy and the prisoner
get pinned down in that ditch?
Yeah, that's the place.
Well, what happened after Reed was captured?
He went to steal the crook's car.
Malloy.
The crooks fired a shot at him?
Huh?
Are you kidding? Did he get hurt?
Is he hurt?
Yeah, I see.
Well, give him a kiss for me and tell him to go to sleep.
Yeah, honey, bye-bye.
Kiss for me?
No, it went like this.
After Reed was captured, Malloy went to steal the crook's car.
Then the crooks fired a shot at him.
And then right then, Chris fell out of bed.
I mean, he's all right.
He just had a bad dream.
And missed the rest of the show.
Utility one, call station 38.
Well, now I wish you hadn't called.
Makes it even worse.
Yeah, the crooks handcuffed Reed with his own handcuffs.
I'm beginning to wish we'd watched the entire show.
Wait a minute.
I thought you said it didn't bother you.
It doesn't.
Not really. I just, uh...
I wonder if there's anyone else we can call.
Dr. Roberto, El Mato.
Excuse me.
Here, take a break.
Oh, thank you.
I was hoping some kind soul would pour some coffee between my lips.
I can't remember when we've been this busy during the middle of the week.
I know. It feels more like Friday or Saturday.
Don't tell me you've actually been working for a change, Cal.
Go ahead, Dix. You won't embarrass me if you want to tell him.
Tell him what?
What beautiful work I do.
Dr. Early.
Yeah?
Dr. Brackett says to tell you he does beautiful work.
You made it sound like I'm bragging.
I just put in 82 stitches.
But my pride and joy is a couple of facial cuts.
Believe me, Joe, the scars will hardly be visible.
It was nice work.
Nice? It was beautiful.
You know what I like? The guy that doesn't boast.
I'm gonna call you next time I tear my pants.
What do you got?
Hairline skull fracture.
Broken collarbone.
I think the ribs are okay.
Automobile?
Un-sporting use of a pool cue.
Bar fight?
What time did he come in?
Around a quarter to ten.
You know, I think we got the other guy here, too.
Mr. 82 stitches?
Yeah, it could be.
Dix, when we move him, make sure they don't wind up in the same room.
Yeah, Dix. They've already done a pretty good job on each other.
Hey, Doc, how about a little service, huh?
Yeah, I'll be right there.
What's the problem?
My leg hurts. This cast ain't worth a darn.
Motorcycle accident, huh?
Yeah.
Ten days ago. What are you even doing to this cast?
Nothing.
Well, it didn't get that way by itself. Now, what are you even doing to it?
I told you, nothing.
When did it start hurting?
Oh, I don't know.
About, uh, three days ago.
Well, don't you think you should have come in then?
Sure, probably, yeah, but...
Why did you wait till tonight?
Because my leg hurt so badly, I couldn't even sleep.
Now, why don't we go? Let's get this thing on the road, huh?
You waited three days. What's the hurry?
I wasn't talking to you, nurse.
So why don't you just stay out of this?
Hey, that'll be enough of that.
Look, I have been here for hours.
Come here, go there, and I'll take you to the hospital.
You've been here for hours. Come here, go there,
fill out the forms, pick up the papers,
go to room so-and-so. You know I about had it.
You're not the only patient I've got.
Look, I just saw you standing over there,
yacking it up, drinking coffee.
That's the first break he's had in over five hours.
Well, that's his problem. Now, I want this leg fixed
and fixed right this time.
Your leg was fixed right.
You've been doing something stupid for a man on your condition.
I can do anything I want to do,
and I didn't come here for a lot of talking questions.
Now, maybe the rest of these people around this place
let you get away with it, because they think you're
some big doctor or something, but not me.
Now, you know I could file a complaint on you,
Dr. Bracken. Now, how would you like that?
Oh, for Pete's sake.
All right, all right, let's just settle down.
I'm gonna do what I can for you.
Yeah, well, I thought that'd bring you around.
Look, you want my help, you tell me
what you did to this cast.
Otherwise, you can just hobble out of here.
No balling out, huh?
All right, all right, all right.
I went surfing over the weekend up the coast.
Surfing with a cast on?
You could have drowned.
Well, I'm real good in the water.
Now I've heard everything.
Well, let's get the cast off of him.
In here, Dix.
Weren't you afraid?
No. I should have been.
Well, what for? Look, you've only got one left leg.
If you don't take care of it, you could wind up
with a permanent limp.
That's assuming you don't lose it altogether.
Didn't I say no balling out?
Mr. When I get finished with you tonight,
I hope you get very sensible, very fast.
Miss Jones, reception.
Yes, doctor.
Hartman?
Be right back.
Stan, I did. Doctor.
Treatment room three.
Stan, I did. Doctor.
Treatment room three.
Thanks.
Whoa.
When he's through on x-ray, bring him back here.
While you're talking to him,
do you think it'll do any good?
For a while, maybe.
How about some service, Doc? You shouldn't have to put up with that.
What's the matter, Dix?
The Florence Nightingale syndrome again?
No, don't try and get me out of a kill.
You're just tired.
Oh, you bet I am.
I'm tired of all the nonsense,
the wasted time.
I don't mind the ones that
dream up something wrong with them
so they can come in and have somebody to talk to.
They're just lonely.
But the others, the ones that can't
or won't take care of themselves,
the ones that try and con you so they can get their eight days disability,
the ones that come in with a hangnail
hollering emergency because they can't be bothered
going somewhere else.
They just treat this place
like a swinging door clinic.
You know I'm right.
Emergency's a new specialty, Dix.
Sure, it's still got some bugs in it.
But when someone needs you here,
they really need you.
And Medi-Cal,
once in a while,
don't you get discouraged.
Somebody, anybody, they're fighting!
Take it up!
Break it up!
I can only got one hand, don't we, but I can still take you!
Shut up, you gorilla!
He struck up and hit me with a bottle!
I can get up.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Kel?
Those beautiful stitches you put in?
All of them?
Most of them.
Yes, Dix,
once in a while I do get a little discouraged.
You were about the third person I've called tonight.
Now, none of them have seen it either.
Well, I guess if you weren't home,
you couldn't have seen it.
That's okay.
Thanks anyway, Charlie.
Bye.
Gage?
Yes?
Are you through?
Yeah, right, Cap.
Well, let's get some sleep, huh?
Yeah.
He was at a movie.
He didn't see it.
You know,
maybe it was a two-parter.
You know,
I could call the television station.
Why didn't I think of that before?
Hey, Gage,
forget calling them. I'll give you the ending.
I'm gonna strangle you.
We'll hold them for you.
This is Karen Wilson.
She has a headache.
I've seen you before, haven't I?
Maybe.
I've seen her five or six times.
Remember what I was talking about?
She always comes in around this time of night.
Says she has a migraine,
wants pills for the pain.
Is that what you want now, Karen?
Pills?
I don't care anything.
Just kill the pain.
Can you show me where it hurts?
Right there.
When did it start?
An hour? A couple, maybe?
I don't know.
Do you have any nausea?
Sit up here for me, will you, please?
She's got all the symptoms down pat.
Usually carries on.
She doesn't seem to be carrying on now.
Does the light bother you?
A little, I guess.
Right eyelid's drooping a little.
Karen, I want you to follow my finger.
Right eye won't move upwards.
Looks like third nerve involvement.
Right eye won't move upwards.
Looks like third nerve involvement.
Slight papillodema.
Dick, set up a spinal tray.
Pull very still, Karen.
You're going to feel a little needle sting.
I can't stop hurting.
What I'm doing, Karen, is throwing off a little fluid from your spine.
It's a simple procedure.
Then you should be worried about it.
You shouldn't feel anything.
But it might give us some idea what's causing that pain in your head.
Clear but yellow.
Come on. Almost finished.
Karen, I'm going to send you upstairs to a specialist.
Okay, whatever.
He'll take good care of you.
Neurology.
On the double.
This is Dr. Brackett. I'd like to speak to Dr. Stein, please.
Yeah, Dave, I'm sending a woman up by the name of Karen Wilson to see you.
I think you should look at her right away.
I suspect a baryenominal.
I already did a spinal tap.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's on her way up right now. Thanks.
I thought she was trying to work us for drugs again.
Should have kept my mouth shut.
You did the right thing.
Anytime you know something, I want to hear it.
All right.
As long as you don't pay too much attention to me.
I'll keep an open mind.
Open mind, open mouth.
I don't believe I like that arrangement.
Station 51, engine 236, engine 95, truck 127, Italian 14, industrial fire, 140, Haldane, 140, Haldane, 14.
Haldane, 140, Haldane, cross street, cars on, time out, 107.
Station 51, 10-4, KMG 365.
Haldane.
Engine 95, engine 51.
Take the hydrant on the north and lay a line down the driveway.
Engine 236, engine 51, lay duels from the front of the building to the hydrant on the north.
I thought we'd set the snorkel up in the back.
236s can hit the fire from the front.
Good, I'll take them here.
Are you okay?
Just barely. It really went fast.
What happened?
I'm not sure, but it could have been a gas explosion.
Gas? What do you make in there?
Mostly it's classified, but they do have a hot room in there in the lab.
Hot room? Well, that means radioactive materials.
Yeah, but I think the doc got everything secured all right.
Doc.
What are you talking about?
Dr. Duncan, he's still in there.
Where?
The lab.
Dr. Brackett. Dr. Brackett.
51.
51, what's the victim's condition?
We have no definite information yet. We want to alert you.
We have been told that there's one victim and radioactive materials may be involved.
We're going in now.
10-4, 51, we'll stand by.
10-4.
Until we know better, we'll have to assume he's been both exposed and contaminated.
See if you can locate Joe early. We'll have to isolate three beds.
He said only one victim.
If they have to go in and get him, they'll be exposed too.
I get a reading.
Truck 127, Battalion 14, set up a water tower operation on the north side.
Hold it, Cap. Hold it. Hold it. I'm getting a higher reading.
You get a pulse?
Yeah.
The door's jammed. Must be the power.
Let's get out of here.
How long were we in there?
About a minute.
Is he alive?
Yes.
You know the rooms, I mean.
Yeah, I'll take care of the wash-down center.
Right, and plug the drains.
Okay.
We'll pump the water later.
Engine 51, I want two jacks, pry bar, three men, on the double.
Rampart, this is rescue 51.
51, this is Rampart. Go ahead.
Rampart, we have a male, approximately 40 years old.
He's alive but unconscious.
I don't know the extent of his injuries.
He's pinned under some wreckage.
He's been exposed to heavy radiation for about five minutes.
10-4, 51, we're standing by.
10-4.
Dix, it's Devin.
We've got a radiation accident.
I want you to notify the Radiation Security Guard and the head of nuclear medicine.
Explain the situation to them and tell them I may need them for an immediate consultation.
Also arrange for isolation.
Right away.
Get that beam up about eight, nine inches ought to do it.
You don't have to worry about the floor.
It's solid, but the room is hot.
The port leading into the hot cell itself is blowing out.
It's jammed.
That radiation's coming out there like a spotlight, and that's really hot, so you stay out of that.
Kelly and I'll go in first.
You two men next.
The working time is six minutes.
No more.
Then out, the next pair go in.
De Soto, you and Gage will be the last ones.
Now men, remember, when you get the beam off, don't touch it.
Turn it over to the paramedics and let them handle it.
De Soto, I want you to watch the time.
Six minutes.
Okay, let's go.
This is our radiation control expert.
Frank De Neuer.
Okay.
You notified the Atomic Energy Commission?
Yeah.
Is Duncan still in there?
They're working on it.
Now, this is what we've done so far.
We've set up a 2-MR perimeter, any equipment that goes inside stays in.
We've set up a decontamination point.
Maybe I can help inside.
Okay, time's up.
Get them out of there.
All right, take off, you two.
They ought to be able to finish the job.
What kind of stuff is in there?
About 16.
That's in metal smocks?
Yeah, but there's also iodine 131.
It's a liquid solution in glass bottles.
They probably broke.
It must be all over the place.
The beam's open, Cap.
What's hanging him up?
I think this is laying.
All right, time's up.
Come on.
We'll be out in a minute.
I can't make it.
I said time's up.
Come on up.
Now.
I can't make it.
Watch his leg.
He's unconscious.
The scimitar reads 450 Renkins of radiation.
And there's possible internal injuries.
He's bleeding from the ears.
Do you want us to wash him down now?
Affirmative, 51.
Do it there.
Then start an IV with lactated ringers.
Get him in here as fast as you can.
10-4.
All right, Johnson.
Missed a call. Missed a call.
I'm sorry.
Emergency in six. Emergency in six.
Let's get him in there.
I did a doctor. Treatment two.
How much radiation did you two take?
About 25.
I got him beat.
He took one big jolt.
Over 100.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to stay overnight for observation, Johnny.
Your life will be sick.
What about Dr. Duncan?
Well, statistically, I'd say he's got about a 50-50 chance.
He wouldn't have that if he'd have gotten much more exposure.
That's good to know.
Look, I want to get to bed.
Come on.
Oh, look, you guys shower?
Yes.
Take another one.
Hi.
I thought I'd take off.
Okay.
Is there anything I can do for you? Books, magazines, whatever you want?
No, nothing. Thanks.
All right, well, I'll call up a TV station in the morning and check on item 12 for you.
Item 12?
What about it?
Have you forgotten how hung up you've been all night?
Oh, yeah, I guess I was, haven't I?
That's putting it mildly.
I'll find out for you how it turned out.
What for?
I thought you'd just ruin a rerun for me next summer.
