ANNOUNCER:<i>
Tonight on</i> Nightwatch... KEELEY:
6215, I'm on scene. You know what year it is, baby? -(woman groaning)
-Don't look good. -DISPATCHER: 22...
-(woman groaning) I know, baby. TITUS: I don't want him
to hit his head. -Hold up, don't...
-(yelling) Floyd, Floyd, Floyd! -Oh, oh, oh.
-Whoa! -Hey!
-Who's driving? Hey! Get out that (bleep) truck. ANNOUNCER:<i>
In the city of New Orleans,</i> <i> there are as many as 1,000
emergency calls every night.</i> <i> These are the stories
of the heroes</i> <i> who risk their lives
to answer those calls.</i> <i> Police officers...</i> <i> firefighters...</i> <i> and emergency
medical technicians.</i> <i> This is</i> Nightwatch. DAN:<i> I'm a big believer
in gratitude.</i> <i> Not just saying
"please and thank you,"</i> <i> but really thinking about
the things</i> <i> that I'm fortunate to have
in my life.</i> <i> Family, friends,</i> <i> and a job that gives me
the opportunity</i> <i> to really help people.</i> <i> I'm thankful for that
every day.</i> <i> And every night.</i> DISPATCHER:<i> Code 3 with fire
in the Eighth at 2247...</i> <i> Code number is 3551. 3551.</i> DISPATCHER 2:<i> Code 3
and assist with fire at 2248.</i> <i> You can wait on a Code 4
on channel one.</i> We're off at Tulane. DAN:<i> Get a call for a man down,
which is a call we get a lot.</i> Nine times out of ten, it's usually just someone
that's intoxicated, <i> that passed out,
kind of thing.</i> TITUS:
I wanted to be a fireman, man. I remember
my first structure fire. I was a volunteer -at my dad's department.
-Right. I was probably, like, 17. Two story, it was blazing
up on the second floor. -Your dad let you go in
as a volunteer? -Yeah. He thought you was ready? It was a good time, man. That's what got me hooked. TITUS: 18 years old, went
straight to the fire department. -DAN: I just didn't
stick it out. -Right. I had pipe dreams
of other things. I always thought I was gonna
be a radio personality, though. I really did. But you know what? This face? This face right here
is just too good -for a radio personality.
-(chuckles) Titus Tero, the superhero.
That would have been my handle. That's terrible. Make all the ladies beg
and want more of this hero. (Titus laughing) DAN:<i>
That's terrible.</i> <i> This call,
somebody called it in,</i> <i> as they were driving by,</i> they didn't hang out. They just said about
where they were at. -Oh.<i>
-So we're kind of just</i> <i> making the blocks,
looking for the guy.</i> Definitely looks like
he's laid out. Unless that's trash
on the ground. -No, it looks like...
-Ah, that's him. -Looks like he's dead.
-He actually does -look like he's dead.<i>
-Pull up alongside of him,</i> <i> I see him laying
on the sidewalk.</i> <i>Look at him, he's not moving.</i> Hey! <i> To me, the dude looks dead.</i> Hey! TITUS:
Somebody stole one of his shoes. DAN:
No, it's right here. Wake up, man. <i> Just his presentation,
just screamed of an overdose.</i> <i> We run a lot
of heroin overdoses.</i> <i> I mean, you just kind of
learn to recognize it.</i> I think it's heroin. All right, look, we need
to start bagging him. DAN:<i>
He's not breathing,</i> <i> so I immediately start
bagging him,</i> <i> to ventilate him and get
some oxygen back into him.</i> Yeah, he did. He's sweaty, too. <i>Titus was working on giving him
some NARCAN to</i> <i> reverse the effects
of the heroin.</i> See if he got a pulse. Yo! Wake up, big man. Open your eyes. Open
your eyes. TITUS:<i> We trying to
get an IV on this guy,</i> <i> but we can't, so we have to
give him NARCAN intranasal,</i> <i> 'cause we got to act fast.</i> What's your name, brother?
Hey, what's your name? (man coughs) There you go. (groaning) DAN:<i>
And within a few seconds,</i> <i>he's starting to come around.</i> Stand up, stand up. -There we go.
-(groaning) -What's up, dude?
-Sit back, big man. Sit back, sit back,
sit back for us. You overdosed. You almost didn't
survive that one. You better be glad
somebody seen you, my man. -That was it.
-We got you. DAN:<i> An overdose is
such a weird thing.</i> <i> The last thing
this guy remembers</i> <i> is using his...
the narcotic,</i> <i> and then you wake up,</i> and you got all this stuff
going on. You sit back, but I want you
to stay awake. <i> It's a lot for
someone to take in.</i> (coughing) Yep. There we go. Right here. (groans) -Dude, you wasn't breathing.
-Hey, you was dead before we got here.
It's necessary, I assure you. It is, bro. Just sit up, man. Let us bring you
to the hospital. And we gonna go from there. Yeah, dawg. You-you was done. You know where you're at
right now? -Where?
-Where do you think you're at? -No. -You ain't nowhere
near River Ridge. You're nowhere near River Ridge. You uptown. Hey, but I'm glad you still breathing and alive. Hey, bro. I appreciate it,
you seem like a cool cat. <i> Usually, when we
give the NARCAN,</i> <i> they get upset with us,</i> <i>'cause we take their high away.</i> Even though they only breathing
one or two times a minute, <i> but this dude,
he was different.</i> <i> So, it was--
it was something about him</i> that he was just, you know,
appreciative. So, <i> -I love that.</i>
-Good job. -Say, bro. Told him how lucky he was. Hey, bro. I'm glad. You seem like a cool cat, bro. (Titus laughing) I hear you. A'ight. DAN:<i>
Glad we found you, dude.</i> Dude, you was laid out
on the sidewalk, right... Your shoe off,
you wasn't breathing. Your hands and face were blue. Dude, like, real talk-- if we would not have found you, like, when we found you, like, it wouldn't look good
for the home team. Like, it was that close. Yeah. Right now, heroin's killing more people
in this city than gun violence. Dude, I am so glad we found you. <i> (laughing):
Yeah, you know what?</i> <i> I can believe that.</i> <i> Overdoses are the ones
that give you</i> <i> the instant gratification.</i> <i> You can literally</i> <i> save someone immediately.</i> It's always fun when you can
make a difference like that. Be careful. I don't-I don't
want to see you -like this again. All right?
-Nah. <i> -He's happy to be alive.</i>
-TITUS:<i> Yeah.</i> <i> Most of the other ones aren't.</i> (siren wailing) Ten en route. (siren wailing) Said she has no lung problems, no asthma, nothing like that. <i> So, it's probably
an anxiety attack.</i> (indistinct radio transmission) DISPATCHER:
2151. BROOKE:
Hey, y'all, how y'all doing? What's going on?
Who am I here for? We get to the call and she's
sitting on the couch. <i> And you can tell it's more.</i> <i> It's not just anxiety.
It's not just, "I'm upset."</i> She's sitting in the chair
and she is focusing <i> on breathing,
and holding her chest.</i> BROOKE:
Okay. How old are you? 20? Okay. LANDON:<i>
Family tells us she has</i> congenital heart problems. <i> She's had
multiple stents placed</i> <i> and over eight ablations.</i> Everything we had thought
this call was going to be, <i> automatically switched.</i> Real, real easy. I'm gonna
take a picture of your heart. The stiller you hold,
the better picture I get. <i> So, we immediately put her
on the monitor, check it out.</i> <i> She's extremely tachycardic,</i> <i>which means fast heart rate,
and now</i> we truly have
a critical patient. One, two, three. Good job. DISPATCHER: Stand by. 3232,
are y'all ready to roll yet? -There you go.
-So, we're gonna get you on the stretcher, my baby,
and take you over to Children's, okay? You feeling dizzy or anything?
Okay. Sit with your bottom
right up here, my baby. All right, darling. BROOKE:<i> You could just tell
by the look on her face,</i> and kind of in her eyes,
that she was really hurting. So, it's because you're
getting anxious, too, baby. 'Cause you're not feeling well,
so that's kind of-- that's what kind of causes that. Look, you in good hands, baby, we're gonna take care of you. -She has stents in, too.
-Yeah. I'm gonna poke
in your arm, baby. Okay? One, two, three. (whimpering) Big, easy, deep breaths, okay? All right, baby, I want you to
chew these up for me, okay? It's aspirin. Okay? I know it hurts,
and I know it's scary. -You mom?
-Yeah. -Hey, baby, how you doing?
-All right, how are you? (raspy breaths) LANDON:<i> It's sad to see
people that young</i> <i> with that horrible of
health problems.</i> You're gonna be all right. <i> It's hard to watch a mother
go through that</i> with her daughter. BROOKE:
All right, mama, you ready? All right, darling. BROOKE:<i> 3220, we're en route
to Children's.</i> DISPATCHER:
That would be 2208. LANDON: You're breathing real,
real fast right now. Try taking a big breath
in through your nose. Hold it for a second
and out your mouth, okay? <i> She's got to
have a lot of struggles,</i> <i> she's got to
have a lot of pain.</i> You're gonna be all right, okay? <i> And I can't be there for her</i> in all those situations, but for this one moment, I can. -(radio trills)
-3320 at hospital. LANDON:
Honey, we are here. You look like you're doing
a little better. (siren wails in distance) (siren wailing) Uh, we got a pedestrian that's
been struck by a vehicle. (dispatcher speaks indistinctly) Got you en route 2233
from Tulane. KEELEY: Could be pretty bad. People go pretty fast
in this area. 6210, I'm on scene. DISPATCHER: 2234. KEELEY:<i> The windshield
on a vehicle is smashed,</i> <i> and she's laying a pretty good
distance away from it.</i> It must have been
a pretty significant impact. -She breathing?
-OFFICER: Yeah. Hey, babe.
You know where you're at? You know what year
it is, baby? Huh? What's your name? KEELEY:<i> Initially, she's
unresponsive to my questions.</i> What's hurting on you? <i> That makes me think she's
definitely got a head injury.</i> <i> This is a brutal collision.</i> <i> Her leg is practically
broken in half.</i> (woman groaning) -(woman groaning)
-KEELEY: She got a broken leg. Gonna need a board and collar,
and a splint, if you have one. On scene, 3232.
Let me grab a splint. KEELEY:<i>
This is a brutal collision.</i> <i> Her leg is practically
broken in half.</i> You know what year
it is, baby? Huh? Initially, she's unresponsive
to my questions. What's hurting on you? <i> That makes me think she's
definitely got a head injury.</i> KEELEY: She got a leg
down there, baby. HOLLY: Uh-huh. KEELEY: All right, listen,
we're gonna put a splint -on your leg.
-(woman groaning) -BOUVIER: One move, baby.
-(woman cries out) -KEELEY: I know, baby.
-Put it on right there. KEELEY: I know, baby,
your leg's broken. BOUVIER: Okay, y'all,
let's get ready to load up. -I got the legs. Yep.
-KEELEY: You ready? -One, two, three.
-Lift it up. One, two, three. HOLLY: Yes, ma'am,
you got hit by a car. You're on Claiborne Avenue. NICK:
What's your name, baby? Dianne? KEELEY: Oh, we're not
trying to, baby. NICK:
Nothing personal, I promise. You remember what happened
to you? No? You got hit
by a car, baby. What all hurts
the worst, sweetheart? Your leg? HOLLY: I have no pulse
in the lower extremity. <i> The lack of a pulse
is really significant.</i> It tells us that,
in some way, somewhere in that leg,
her circulation is compromised. <i> Whatever is cutting off
that blood supply</i> <i> needs to be corrected,</i> or she will lose the leg. Here's her shoes. Her shoes
were way on the corner. (siren wailing) HOLLY:
I know it's hurting you. We're gonna be at the hospital
in just a minute, baby. It's not gonna be long
at all. Yes, ma'am.
You got hit by a car on Claiborne Avenue. Yeah. All right, babe, you're gonna
feel a little pinch on your arm over here,
don't move-- one, two, three. That's it, don't move. <i> I know your leg hurts, baby.</i> It's not that it's tight, baby,
it's that it's broken. <i> About to take you inside.</i> BOUVIER:<i> That was a hell
of a call, huh?</i> -NICK:<i> Right?</i> BOUVIER:<i> I didn't think she was
alive when I first pulled up.</i> HOLLY: Me neither.
I mean, the only reason I knew she...she was alive
was 'cause Keeley said, "Get a spine board
and a C-collar." And I was like, all right, well,
she must be alive, then. 'Cause the way she looked on
the ground was not that great. -No.
-No. She didn't have no pulse
in that leg. After you straightened it
and got to the hospital, they found a little
faint one, so... -Well, they straightened it
even more, -Yeah. and-and, you know,
set the foot right. She had a lot of things
in her favor, though. Keeley was close.
Y'all were available. Everybody was within a mile
to her, and she was only a mile
from the trauma center, so... -She actually lucks out,
you know? -Yeah. We get our share
of calls right now. Oh, yeah, for sure. All right, well,
I'm gonna get out of here. -See you later.
-All right, y'all be good. HOLLY:
Don't get in no trouble. BOUVIER:<i>
I'll see y'all later.</i> (siren wailing) (firehouse alarm sounding) Let's be ready. CAPTAIN JASON:<i> We get a call
It comes over as a house fire.</i> <i> En route, we really don't have
any other information.</i> So we always anticipate
that we will have a working house fire
when we get there. 16's on the scene. It's a one-story, wood-frame
double, nothing visible. Hello, Fire Department! All right, get your mask on. Come over here. JASON:<i> When we get inside,
I notice</i> <i> the stove is tipped over,</i> <i> there's flames
coming up the wall,</i> up from the gas line. This really doesn't look
like an accident. JASON:<i> A lot of dangers
involved with a gas fire.</i> You know,
the house can actually, I mean, it can explode. (indistinct radio transmission) Chief, I got it.
It's knocked down. What it was, a gas line. They had a stove hooked up, and, uh, the stove
was knocked over, and the gas line was on fire
behind the stove. No, no, we opened
everything up. <i> The way the gas line
was broke--</i> <i> something very suspicious.</i> It didn't look like it just
broke because of the stove being knocked over, someone
actually hit it with something to cause it to break. Yeah, yeah, I thought
it was abandoned, man. No, man. All right. JASON: That's the landlord
right here? So he's been evicted already? You're in the process. <i> The tenant that was living
there is getting evicted.</i> And he was very
upset about it, <i> so we really wanted
to protect the guy</i> <i> that lived next door</i> in case he came back. Just put it
in the middle of the house. JASON:<i> He didn't have
working smoke detectors.</i> <i> The neighbor was
extremely thankful.</i> <i> We were able to install</i> <i> a couple smoke detectors
in there for him</i> <i> so that he could feel safe.</i> All right, man.
All right, buddy. Who would play you
in a movie? Man, you know who
I want to get that's just a smooth,
smooth cat? Steve Urkel? Nah, man, your boy Victor, off<i> The Young and the Restless.</i> What's his real name?
Robert something? Why would you want a white dude
to play<i> you?</i> That would be like me having
a black dude play me. Hey, man, yeah, that definitely
wouldn't happen. -(laughs): Right. -That
definitely wouldn't happen. That's like me saying I'm having
Denzel play my character. I'm like the white version
of Denzel. I don't know about that. Good-looking, swag,
smooth, talented. I mean, I am all those things. I think mine would be probably Matthew McConaughey. Uh, is that the dude
from<i> Home Alone?</i> What's that dude's name? All of 'em look alike. You talking about the<i> kid</i>
from<i> Home Alone?</i> Yeah. Isn't his name
Matthew McConaughey? That's Macaulay Culkin. -Same thing.
-No. Show us en route. TITUS:<i> This particular call
was located in front of a bar.</i> <i>We knew alcohol is gonna play
a major factor in this call,</i> <i> and me and Dan, we have to
protect each other's back.</i> -Yeah, they outside.
-Yeah, this should be fun. (indistinct radio transmission) TITUS: Tell me what happened. What's your name, my man?
Can you tell me your name? Floyd, all right. -Floyd, do you have a history of
seizure? -DAN: No, stop, relax. You do? All right. We gonna take care of you,
Floyd, all right? -DAN: Relax, man.
-TUTUS: It's all right. No, no, no, you gotta... TITUS:
Just let him seize out. Hold on, hold on, I don't want
him to hit his head. -Hold up, dawg.
-(Floyd grunting) Floyd, Floyd, Floyd! All right. All right. Stop, Floyd! Hey! TITUS:<i> We need to get him
secured as soon as possible</i> <i> and get him inside
the ambulance.</i> <i> Get him away from the crowd.</i> <i> Usually, when you get people
outside that atmosphere,</i> <i> they tend to calm down.</i> MAN: You happy with this?
You happy with it? DAN: We got you, man.
We got you, okay? -We're gonna take care of you.
-MAN: You got that, huh? You got a little<i> speecha,</i>
a<i> featcha?</i> Relax, brother.
We're paramedics. -(glass shatters)

-Relax, brother. <i> Everything is going to plan.</i> -(glass shatters)
-WOMAN: Whoa. WOMAN:
Oh, (bleep). Someone got in the front seat
to drive... the car! -Hey! -(horn beeps)
-Get out that (bleep) truck! DAN: 3220, we got a drunk
just jumped in the truck. Get out of the truck, man! TITUS: Man, get the (bleep)
out the truck! TITUS:<i> Of course, we gonna have
a few words with him.</i> But our main concern
is the patient in the back of the truck. -(groaning) -Hey, look. Look,
look, look, look, look here. We got you. He just got out
and ran up the street. TITUS:<i>
Everything's fine.</i> -(siren wailing)<i>
-We</i> do<i> have the correct driver</i> <i> up front, driving us
to the hospital.</i> <i> This guy's in the back,

you had a seizure? About four months ago? Do you take... do you take
medication for it? All right. That's why I got...
Floyd, Floyd. I'm with you. I'm with you. <i> I could just tell that</i> something is going on, but I don't think
it's a grand mal seizure. <i>So, I'm not gonna do anything
to stop a seizure.</i> <i> My main concern
is keeping him safe,</i> <i> and getting him
to the hospital.</i> How do you feel right now? (sirens wailing) DAN:<i>
What the hell was that?</i> Dude, that... that never
happened to me before. DAN: I've never had a truck
stolen. I-I remember, years ago, I remember somebody
stole one off of Tulane's ramp. They took it for, like,
a little joyride around the city,
crashing things. Dude, let me tell you
how crazy this was. 'Cause I'm in the back... -Right. -...and when I see it
move, I'm like, "Why is Dan moving the truck?"
Then I looked, -you were actually standing
in front of me. -Right, we both looked at each other,
like, wait a minute, he's back here with me. -Me. Right.
-Like, we both had that thought. I Supermaned out
the side of the truck. Man, I don't know! <i> If you seen
