ANNOUNCER:<i>
Tonight on</i> Nightwatch... TITUS:
It's in the back? -DAN: Oh, yeah!
-Yeah. He looks like he's crying tears,
literally. HOLLY:
Oh, my God! BAX:
All right, listen up. <i> We got a high-risk search
warrant and arrest warrant.</i> Police with a warrant! DISPATCHER: Motorcyclist
that struck a vehicle. HOLLY: This is
a multi-systems trauma. (shouting) 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. TOMMY:<i>
In this job, every night,</i> <i> you have to be ready
for everything.</i> <i> Because you never know
what's coming.</i> <i> One moment, it could be
something dangerous,</i> <i> something tragic,</i> <i> something that makes you
question everything you know.</i> <i> But then, right after that,</i> <i> you could find yourself
in a situation helping someone,</i> <i> saving someone.</i> <i> That's the job.</i> <i> The amazing and the inhumane,
side-by-side.</i> (indistinct radio transmissions) ARKADY:
It's me and you? You got it. -It's been so long, sir,
-Forever. since we've worked together. I can tell how excited you are. -How are you?
-I am. TOMMY:<i>
As a kid, I was always</i> interested in First Responders. <i> I would walk around with all
my friends in middle school</i> <i> and say, 10-4 and 10-8
and all this.</i> And no one knew
what I was talking about, but I was happy;
I was in my own glory. Oh. Flying supplies. Don't be breaking stuff. I grew up with a medical family. <i> My mom was an X-ray tech.</i> <i> My dad was
on the fire department.</i> EMS was the way to go. TOMMY:
Someone's in the river? ARKADY:<i>
Possibly</i> in the river. Um, they haven't confirmed yet that there's somebody
in the river. Where's it at? Uh, behind Café du Monde. Did you realize, it's, like,
tourists will come through and just want to get
in the river and swim? I don't understand
why anybody would choose to get in the river to swim. But, then again,
I guess I just grew up with knowing you don't
ever get in the river. TOMMY:<i>
Not with those currents.</i> What you got, guys? TOMMY:
Okay. ARKADY:
Okay. <i> We need to notify</i> <i> the Coast Guards
and the Harbor Police,</i> <i> because they can see</i> <i> more than we can see
just from standing on shore.</i> Who actually witnessed it? ARKADY:
Okay. Okay. TOMMY:<i> I guess people think that
it's, like, calm right here.</i> <i> That you could just swim in
this little area,</i> <i> and you're not gonna get pulled
out or anything like that.</i> ARKADY:<i>
Even the strongest swimmers</i> <i> should not try
to swim the river.</i> <i> Once you're tied up
in those currents,</i> you're gonna wear yourself out
trying to swim out of them. You're not gonna make it
back to shore. ARKADY:
And that was at 19:11. TOMMY:<i> The person's been
underwater for several minutes.</i> <i> And after three minutes,
brain damage begins to occur,</i> <i> and it becomes
severe at that point.</i> After six to ten minutes,
it become almost irreversible, <i> so time is not on our side
on a call like this.</i> Well, it was helpless. -I know.
-You know? There's not much
we could do either way. At this point,
we've been on scene for an extended amount of time, <i> And, unfortunately,
this guy has not resurfaced.</i> <i> We finally decide
to leave the scene</i> <i> when we think that there's</i> just no possibility of it being
a rescue mission anymore. <i> We handed everything off
to the Coast Guard</i> <i> to continue searching.</i> BAX:
All right, listen up. We got a high-risk
search warrant and arrest warrant
for sex crimes. The target's wanted for attempted 42 and a 64. VIC:<i> Tonight, we're preparing
to execute a high-risk warrant</i> <i> on a 17-year-old, who's been</i> charged with armed robbery
and attempted sexual assaults. He has, uh, 295 arrest warrants. VIC:<i> The crime he committed,
he used a firearm,</i> so we know we going into what
could possibly be a gun battle with this guy, based on
the nature of the crime. BAX: Red team, they're gonna
drive the BearCat. Jay, you're gonna breach. Blue team will be
Smitty and Billy. Alley, you and myself,
we're gonna lead the team up with the shields. They got two windows right here. Two windows with a pancake deck. When we come through
the gate, right here, we gonna hug this tight. If anything happens,
you have EMS stand-by. That's it.
Anybody have any questions? All righty. Let's go, let's go. 3232. VIC:
They got me driving, guys. Let's roll, baby. <i> We're treating this guy,
even though he's 17,</i> <i> he's legally an adult.
We're, you know, we're</i> <i> treating him as, you know,
we gonna get him.</i> <i> We gonna get
a violent offender.</i> <i> We gonna
get a violent criminal.</i> Approaching FAP. FAP, we're at FAP. <i> When we get close
to the target, we know</i> <i> there's no turning back
when you get to this point.</i> Tac on me, tac on three. One, two, three, tac! Let's go. Ten seconds to go. Ten seconds. Lots of people outside. <i> All right, moving out.</i> Let's go, let's go. (speaking indistinctly) Hug that wall.
Go right to that door. Right to the third door. Police with a warrant! Police with a warrant! Police, search warrant! (indistinct shouting) Come on!
What's in your hands?! (indistinct shouting) Once we made entry
into the bedroom, we located the target
lying in the bed. Man, listen to me right quick. You got a right
to remain silent. <i> At that point,
we placed him under arrest.</i> We gonna put him
in the car, now, yeah? Come on, man. How old are you, man? 17? What the hell you done
got tied up on, bro, if they got us coming
to get you? <i> In Louisiana,
17 is considered an adult,</i> <i> so our target was
charged as an adult.</i> You out of school? <i> Well, just the thing,
when I was 17,</i> <i> that was far from my mind,
trying to rob somebody,</i> or definitely, sexually assault,
so-so I don't want <i> to say it's surprise, but,
you know, there's other things</i> <i> you could be doing with
your life than committing</i> <i> violent crimes.</i> Good job, everybody.
We came home safe. The same way we left. <i> Thank the Lord once again.</i> OFFICER:<i> So, brah, you drive
better than Cedric, though.</i> (laughter) (siren wailing) NICK: So, we're going
to I-10 East in Carrollton on the interstate for a motorcyclist
that struck a vehicle. Caller advised the male
is awake and breathing. Possible trauma to the arm area. So often, motorcyclists
are fatalities. (buzzes)
We ain't talking about that. I'm gonna tell you one thing, as a dude who rides a motorcycle
in this city, I hate it. I don't even hardly
get on the interstate, because people don't pay
attention for nothing. No, they don't
respect them whatsoever... Nah, they too busy driving 9,000 miles an hour, talking on their cell phones. HOLLY:<i> When I hear motorcyclist
down on the interstate,</i> I put myself in serious mode. It's high-speed,
little protection. <i> They're just,
normally very injured.</i> NICK:
3232 on scene. (shouting) HOLLY:<i>
One of the immediate things</i> <i> that we notice is that</i> <i> his humerus is
completely shattered.</i> Don't move the leg for me. Oh, yeah, that's broke. <i> There is a high possibility
that it may have severed</i> <i> his brachial artery,
which means he could be</i> <i> losing a lot of blood.</i> HOLLY:
Steven, how you doing, baby? You know what day
it is right now? You know what year it is? What about the month? How old are you? You sure about that? What the...
what's the year you were born? <i> The fact that
it's really difficult</i> <i> for him to answer
even basic questions,</i> <i> it can be concussion,
serious head bleed.</i> It could be hypoxia,
lack of oxygen. <i> I'm hitting the gas pedal.</i> <i> Let's get him as stable
as we can and let's go.</i> I'm gonna need you
to help me roll him, 'cause I need to look
at what's underneath. NICK: All right, so I'm gonna
hold your arm in place while they roll you
over to me, okay? One, two, three. -(Steven moaning)
-NICK: Go ahead. -Ready?
-Okay. Nothing. NICK:<i>
As I was stabilizing his arm,</i> <i> that's when I determined</i> <i> the extent of his injury.</i> Ooh, (bleep). It's all from his arm,
right here. You couldn't really see it 'cause the injury
was laying on the ground. <i> You just see
a little bit of blood.</i> All this is gone,
all the way to the bone. -HOLLY: All right.
-(Steven yells) (Steven yelling) HOLLY:<i>
Nick and I get a call</i> for a motorcycle accident
on the interstate. NICK: Can you feel me touching
your hand right here? All right. HOLLY:<i>
This is a multi-systems trauma.</i> <i> I can see obvious injuries,</i> <i> so I need to quickly determine</i> <i> does he have internal
injuries, as well?</i> NICK:<i>
As I was stabilizing his arm,</i> <i> that's when I determined
the extent of his injury.</i> Ooh, (bleep). <i> You couldn't really see it,
'cause the injury was laying</i> on the ground. You could just
see a little bit of blood. All this is gone,
all the way to the bone. -(Steven yells) -Sorry, man.
-HOLLY: Can you hear me? It's all from his arm,
right here. HOLLY:
I know. So I just want to hold his arm. -Right. So...
-(Steven yells) NICK:
Sorry. HOLLY:<i> The muscles are ripped
open and out.</i> <i> The tissue is...</i> <i> I mean, everything is exposed.</i> <i> This extremity
is just torn to shreds.</i> Everybody be quiet for a second. What I need is on your side,
so I'm gonna lift up the head. Pull out what you need. Can you come over here? -(yelling)
-All right, my man. We got you, okay? You're okay, honey.
You're okay. -Thank you for your help.
-No problem. NICK: You're gonna be
all right, my man. HOLLY: Did he hit a car,
or did he just go down? What happened? (Steven yelling) I know, baby. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Keep your head still, my man. Don't move, okay? Don't move. NICK:<i> There's definitely
a, uh, scenario</i> <i> where he could lose his arm.</i> <i> Any kind of trauma
situation like that,</i> <i> you worry about life over limb,</i> <i> so you try to stabilize
as best as possible,</i> make sure he's not bleeding out. All right, my love, I'm gonna strap
this arm back in, okay? -(Steven yelling)
-I know it sucks. NICK:
That's it. Let's go. HOLLY:<i>
Hey, hey, hey.</i> Hey, look at me. Look at me. What's that face?
What's going on? You're hurt?
I know you're hurt. We gonna help you, baby. We taking you
to the hospital now, okay? You wrecked on your motorcycle
really bad. Yeah, you have
a couple of injuries, a couple of real bad injuries, so we taking you
to our trauma center, okay? We should be pulling up there
in about two minutes. Can you tell me
what year it is right now? You're not sure what year it is? What's hurting you
right now the most? Everything? <i> With a multi-systems trauma,</i> <i> you have a lot that</i> <i> you're looking at and checking.</i> <i> My priorities are,</i> <i> check his abdomen,</i> <i> make sure it's not
filling with blood</i> from organs that may have been lacerated or ruptured. Does this hurt?
When I push down? -Oh... -Does this hurt
when I push down? Okay, you're not gonna throw up. You're gonna take
some slow, deep breaths, and you're gonna keep it
together for me, okay? <i> I need to make sure</i> <i> that he remains
awake and alert.</i> Hey, stay awake. Open your eyes. Thank you. I'm right here, baby.
I got you. I know you are. I know, buddy. You all right, though. You have nothing
to be sorry for, okay? <i> You gonna be all right.</i> <i> I've never seen something</i> that bad in a textbook or on TV. That was a first for me. <i> They can see the shoulder joint</i> -and the elbow joint.
-Yeah. I think he's gonna
lose that arm, though. I think so, too.
There's no way. I mean, when, honestly,
when I felt just the lower part, it was just crunches. Like, there's no bone there, plus you don't have
any skin there, so... -I mean, he's lucky as hell...
-Right. Exactly. ...that he had on that helmet. I mean, you know,
interstate speed, most of the time
you don't come out that well, so you gotta look at it
like that. Let's go get another one. JAY:<i> The thing with New Orleans,
you just don't know</i> <i> when things are gonna</i> really go down.
You know? During the summertime, usually gets real busy. Yeah, when it gets hot,
it gets hot, so to speak. ALLEY:<i> After executing
the high-risk warrant</i> earlier tonight, the SWAT team's <i> back on patrol
in the Fifth District.</i> I mean, practical work
is fun, but... it gets dangerous at times,
you know? <i> Riker police, we go out there,</i> <i> look for any type
of violations.</i> <i> 'Cause even
the minor violations</i> <i> could lead to us
finding narcotics</i> or finding out
if that person's wanted for... <i> a bigger crime.</i> <i> The vehicle was
kind of coming towards us</i> <i> with its brights on.</i> Oh, yeah, dude. Man, are you kidding me? <i> People don't just ride around
with no plate on their car.</i> <i> It's a good chance
it's gonna be</i> a stolen vehicle
or there's something awry <i> with the vehicle.</i> What the (bleep)
is this dude doing? <i> So we started following him,
and he quickly pulled</i> <i> into a driveway
as soon as we got behind him.</i> <i> When we pulled behind him,</i> <i> you could see him--
he was leaning over</i> <i> near the, uh,
passenger front seat.</i> Let's see your hands, my man. Put your hands on top for me. You live right here? This is your house? This is your vehicle? Whose car is it? -Who's your homie?
-Homie's car? You don't know? You don't know your homie? Where's your homie? All right. <i> When he said he didn't know
who the car belonged to,</i> <i> and that it was his homie's,
in my head,</i> <i> the first flag
started going up.</i> <i> And he didn't live there</i> where he pulled up at. All these are signs of...
he's hiding something. Do you and your homie
have anything in this car that I need to know about? No? Okay. For our safety and yours. ALLEY:
Yeah, that's what I thought! That's not yours? I figured.
Got that beam on there, huh? Yep. -Why you're being detained?
-Yeah. You're under investigation
right now. Okay? You got a weapon in the vehicle, you don't know
who the car is for, other than your homie. You don't know anything, so... you're under investigation
for right now, so you just hang tight, okay? Boom, there it goes. 69. Yeah, that's stolen. -Now you're under arrest.
-Barreta. That gun's stolen. You're in possession
of the vehicle. Okay? So you're in possession of the weapon. <i> We continued the investigation
and ran the VIN number</i> <i> of the car
'cause the plate wasn't there.</i> God! <i> The vehicle ended up</i> being stolen as well. Come<i> on!</i> Are his clothes stolen? Where is he? All right, look...
it's 67A, too. Car's, yeah, stolen. Check his shoes. <i> The vehicle was actually stolen
during an armed robbery,</i> <i> and the description
they had of it</i> <i> didn't match
the guy that we had,</i> <i> but they're gonna end up
doing a follow-up on him</i> to see if he's connected <i> to any of the armed robberies
or any other crimes.</i> I could tell. It was a good
(bleep) case, though, brah. (siren blaring) HOLLY:
We're arriving DT. We're going to the 3300 block for a male that was shot there. HOLLY:
EMS, we copy that, right. I mean, how do you say
you just... you woke up shot? NICK:<i>
It is a medical anomaly.</i> NICK:
What's up, man? HOLLY: Okay, baby,
can we get you in the truck so we can... -All right, we'll take
care of everything. -Okay. Let me look at you real quick. I'm gonna have to cut this
off of you, okay, honey? <i> Initially he appears
to be fine.</i> <i> It doesn't even
look like he's shot.</i> He's got one in the chest. He's got one in the chest
right here. All right, baby,
let's go this way. I lift up his shirt,
and I can see <i> that he has a bullet wound
to the chest.</i> Sit right here for me, okay? -You're not gonna die.
-You're not gonna die, baby. -We're gonna take care of you.
-We got you. <i> We, of course, immediately
just get him in the back</i> <i> of the truck, so we can see
if he has anything more.</i> -It's like right here, But...
-Where? That's where it starts. It's swollen right there. Did you fall? Okay. And you just woke up
with this, huh? Yeah, I heard it. I don't know
how they got in my house. There's something right there. HOLLY:<i>
While assessing him,</i> <i> Nick feels
the back of his head,</i> <i> and he can feel</i> <i> a little skull deformity.</i> Is there anything on that side? Like any entrance wound? All right, baby,
sit back for me? -Hey, wait a minute.
-Oh, my God! -You're not gonna die., I h. -You're not gonna die, baby.
-We're gonna take care of you. -We got you.
-That's where it starts. It-it's swollen right there.
Did you fall? Okay, and you just
woke up with this, huh? Yeah, I heard it. I don't know
how they got in my house. HOLLY:<i> Nick and I get
a call for a male</i> <i> shot inside of his home.</i> <i> He has a bullet wound
to the chest.</i> <i> So while assessing him,</i> Nick feels the back of his head, and he can feel
a little skull deformity. All right, baby,
sit back for me. Hey, wait a minute. <i> It looks like he's
crying tears, literally.</i> I can't figure out what,
until I look at it really close. -Oh, my God.
-It's right there. That's it. -Yeah.
-Yeah, baby. <i> He's actually got a hole</i> in his eye socket from a bullet. You got right here, and you got one right here
in the crease of your eye. It looks like it went in
through your nasal cavity, and it may have actually
ended up back here. Can you see out of this eye? Okay. Were you able to see
out of this eye before? HOLLY:<i> Because he
happened to be blind</i> <i> in the eye that he was shot,
he had no idea that he was</i> <i> actually hit in the face.</i> Stick out your tongue? -Got blood in his mouth.
-Yeah. <i> I mean, the chest wound alone,</i> <i> he was definitely gonna be
a trauma activation,</i> <i> but when you have
someone shot to the face,</i> he could have swelling of the
brain, bleeding on the brain. <i> I mean, the possibilities
are endless,</i> <i> so we are gonna get him
to the hospital</i> <i> as quickly as possible.</i> Just relax your arms, okay?
Okay, he's in the front seat. We're gonna
take care of all that. Just count your blessings. Try to relax. Don't touch back there,
all right? A little pinch.
I know this is a stretch mark, so it might hurt a little bit. Oh, Nick, I need one
of those lines over here. Look at it this way--
they didn't get your son, and you're gonna live,
so you look at it like that, you're really lucky. I'm gonna grab you
a scope real quick, and I'm gonna check
out the little one. Thank you. Come here, lift up your shirt. I just want to make sure
you're okay. You don't have
any pain anywhere? All right, hop in. NICK:<i> I mean, in my day I've
seen a lot of lucky people,</i> <i> but this guy probably ranks
in the top five.</i> <i> Chest, okay.
Face, come on.</i> <i> You know, no one really
gets shot in the face</i> <i> and lives to tell about it.</i> Thank you, ma'am. I have your son, baby,
he's in the front seat. Say hey to your dad. NICK:<i>
He's in the front.</i> HOLLY:<i>
3232, Code 3 U.H.</i> NICK:<i> The luckiest dude
you gonna meet.</i> Dude, did it straight through,
or did it go--? Entrance, and I couldn't tell--
Obviously, you can't tell from an X-ray.
You're gonna need a CAT. -Right.
-But you could see the bullet -In the back?
-Like, yeah, so one... -And he got the one
in the chest. -Right. -And it, luckily it didn't
hit his heart. -Right. -You know, so...
-Or a lung. The luckiest dude, period. -Ooh!
-Once he comes out, we going to the boat. We going gambling 'cause... -That's what y'all doing?
-Yeah. Y'all decided that? Hey, I'm gonna have--
I'm gonna find him, -and I'm gonna put some, uh,
-Man. put all some money on whatever
he says-- red or black. -Whatever he wants.
-Right. (laughing):
Yeah, so... <i> -You one lucky, lucky dude.
-Yeah.</i> (sirens wailing) ARKADY:<i>
We're going</i> <i> to the river for a body</i> face-down in the water. Aw, come on. -But, it's right where...
-That's, like, the same, exact location where we were. Yep. Man. ARKADY:<i>
At this point, he's been</i> <i> in the water too long.</i> There was no chance we were
gonna be able to bring him back. You can show us in the area. (indistinct radio transmission) ARKADY:
Is this the guy from today? It's him? -He's dead.
-Mm-mm. <i> I have to say that I'm a little
bit relieved that he was found.</i> <i> At least his family
has some comfort,</i> knowing that he's
not still missing. New Orleans EMS
to University for a DNAR. DISPATCHER:
Go ahead. Hey, Doc, we have a recovered.
He's out. He is in full rigor.
He's mottled. Calling for a DNAR. <i> Calling for a DNAR is--</i> <i> it's not something
that you get used to doing.</i> We spend so much time
with life leaving the world <i> that it's never easy.</i> Damn, you know, he was found
so close to where he went in. I know. TOMMY:<i> It-it's a very tough
thing to walk away from.</i> It's something that,
a lot of times, partners don't
really talk about, either. It's something that you-you
kind of play it tough. <i> Oh, well, it's, you know,
we did everything we can.</i> But I know a lot of us go home
and-and still think about it. ARKADY: I worked the first
little girl that drowned. TOMMY:
Oh, really? -Yeah.
-So you already had-- you had a drowning this summer? I've had both
pediatric drownings in New Orleans this summer. -That's sad.
-I know. It's pure accident. Definition of an accident. Yep. (indistinct radio transmission) RANDY:
Stop and make sure they all right? What you doing
in my neck of the woods? Y'all all right? BOTH:
Acid reflux? You don't belong uptown.
It's dangerous around here. You need to be. -Of course.
-So... Y'all about to leave now,
though? We just had lunch. Y'all don't get lunch breaks? (laughs)
Oh, and what do we have? Touché. All right, y'all keep, uh, -uptown safe, please.
-It's been quiet. Y'all been doing a good job,
out here. HOLLY:
It has been super quiet. Don't jinx it. -Bye, guys.
-Good night. <i> Lately, there's been</i> <i> a lot of drug activity
in the Sixth district,</i> so we increased
our patrols in the area. DEVIN:
Let's see, we got people kicking up over here. Over here. Yeah, they normally do. <i> Um, it's no secret
who's dealing drugs.</i> <i> It's no secret
where they doing it.</i> He, look, he's got
his hand in his pocket. It's, like, so obvious. I know, just so obvious. <i> We just watch
for the suspicion</i> and signs to link them <i> to what they're
doing illegally.</i> Taking off. -Yeah, I know.
-They just ran. They just ran, Dave. <i> We drove past
a known drug house,</i> <i> and two guys we arrested before
took off running.</i> They took off that way, brah. <i> I radio for a unit
to go around the block.</i> <i> We keep them
to a certain area, you know,</i> <i> we'll ultimately find them.</i> (rattling nearby) Over there! -Stop!
-Stop! Police! They took off that way, brah. RANDY:<i> We're pursuing two
suspects, who took off running</i> <i> as Devin and I were patrolling</i> <i> a neighborhood known for its</i> <i> high-volume of drug activity.</i> (rattling nearby) Over there! -Stop!
-Stop! Police! (bleep) I could hear him
jumping the fences, but I couldn't see him
through the brush. Looks like he probably
came over here. Oh, they saw us coming
way up the street. I mean, they had
the jump on us anyway. Soon as we hit that block,
they-they... -Yeah. -And they just posted up
on that corner. RANDY:<i> There's a million
places to hide:</i> <i> tall grass, abandoned houses,</i> roofs to climb up. <i> It's a frustrating process.</i> <i> Get some good news
over the radio</i> <i> that another unit apprehended
one of the two suspects.</i> That's one down, one to go. 78, go ahead. <i> Dispatcher received a call
from a concerned citizen</i> <i> that our subject
was hiding in his backyard.</i> -Put your hands up in the air!
-(bleep) -(bleep)
-Right where you are! Contact, over here. He just came on out? Oh, it's fine.
He was underneath the house. 1678-- we got a apprehension. Look a mess, man.
What's all that about? (laughing) Come, come, come on. -Ooh!
-Ooh! Damn. RANDY:<i> That's money
he probably owes somebody</i> <i> for selling their narcotics.</i> <i> And if he don't get that money
back, bad things will happen.</i> (sirens wailing) NICK:
Okay. Okay. HOLLY:<i> It ended up being David,
one of our regulars...</i> NICK:
Whenever you're ready, brother. HOLLY:<i>
...who I've been picking up</i> for five years now. Just have a seat. Relax your arm. NICK:<i> He does have
respiratory issues,</i> <i> and I think he has coded
once or twice before.</i> But assess him,
realize he's not having any shortness of breath issues. HOLLY: We just want you
to be chill, man, that's all. He's gonna be just fine. HOLLY:<i> We just want to get
this patient to the hospital,</i> <i> and they'll probably let him
sleep there for a little while</i> <i> and feed him
and send him on his way.</i> (playing light tune) <i> That was beautiful, David.</i> Where is she?
I haven't seen her in a while. What? Really? I'm sorry to hear that. The last time I saw her,
she was in bad shape. We've also treated <i> his wife
very frequently as well.</i> I'm sorry, David. I-I had no idea. I wouldn't have asked about her.
I'm really sorry. <i> I remember when y'all met.</i> (siren wailing) <i> Camp and Canal for a man with</i> a cut leg
from a broken bicycle chain. Somebody take the chain off
and whip him. Your pops
ever-ever whipped you, man, -with, like, an extension cord
or a chain before? -(laughs) Extension cord? You never got whipped
with an extension cord? An extension cord? They call that child abuse,
my man. Ah, see, I told you
you grew up with a silver spoon. You wasn't disciplined. I'd call the police on my dad -if he ever put his hands on me.
-(laughs) I see this guy with a thing up. Hey, man. So, I was riding my bike,
the chain popped, and my leg fell,
and the gear just ate up the back of my leg
pretty bad. -What's your name, man?
-Andrew. All right, Andrew, I'm Dan. I-I got you. Let go. It's in the back? -Oh, yeah!
-Oh, yeah. DAN:
Hey, man. So, I was riding my bike,
the chain popped... -Oh, yeah!
-Oh, yeah. -That is... -That's what
I like to hear, yeah! -You did it good, Andrew.
-I can see the tendons. -You did it real good.
-I can definitely see your tendons on, uh... Oh, yeah. He's...
It's all muscle, man. He did it good. It happens. -All right, look...
-I'm gonna be all right? -Oh, yeah.
-Okay, cool, that's great. One, two, three, all the way up.
All right. -Cool.
-Throw your leg up on there. All righty. -(indistinct chatter)
-All right. -Whoo! TITUS:<i>
This is actually a pedicab.</i> <i> Like, this guy was at work.</i> <i> His money is with his legs.</i> You know, riding that bike. <i> He's dealing
with a shredded leg, but now</i> <i> we need to keep that clean.
We don't need</i> <i> anything to get in there
and, you know,</i> <i> for him to get infected.</i> He would have lost that leg. -We gonna elevate it
a little bit. -Leg straight up -in the air.
-All right. -Hold up. Gonna need some light.
-Can you... can you turn it this way? -Turn it like that?
-There we go. -Better. -Yeah.
-All right. That's all muscle. -Oh, we got to... we got to
wrap it, my friend. -Hey, look, I got to take this shoe off,
dude. -Oh, no problem.
-We thrive on blood. Big stick in your arm, okay?
Don't move. One, -two, three. -All right, man,
everything else looks good. Your heart looks good. Yeah, probably so, honestly. You did...
you did a beyond stitches, I believe. I know. I'm a fatty, but I got
good calf muscles, man. -You know what? -It's one of
the few things I had going on. I've seen your calf mu-muscles better than you have
ever see 'em. <i> Were you at a stop,</i> -or were you already rolling?
-Well, I was already rolling. -Okay. -I was, like...
I think I was coming up to the light, and it was red. Because, to me, what happened is
I was going to push down on the pedal with my right leg,
and my right leg just popped. -I heard a pop
and my leg fell down. -Right. And then I just kind of...
the bike kind of ran me over -a little bit, and I kind of
fell under the... -Kind of drug -your leg under a little bit.
-Yeah, exactly. And then... -pandemonium ensued.
-Man. (chuckles) Enter New Orleans EMS, right?
That's-that's when we showed up. You know what, you can tell
all your fellow-fellow pedicab colleagues
that they get hurt, <i> -that we gonna take care
of 'em. -Yeah, deal.</i> <i> We're out patrolling
the Sixth District</i> <i> and we pull up
to an intersection</i> <i> and a truck just flies through
a red light</i> <i> with no intention of stopping.</i> -That boy rolling, huh?
-Yeah, he rolling. (siren wailing) Almost about to get wiped out
by that (bleep) truck. He about to go. I got your back, brother. All right, you gonna receive
running a red light. You ran two-two red lights. At MLK and South Claiborne. That's that first set you ran. Then there's that second set
you ran. Because we saw you. You ran it right in front of us. Huh? Me and my partner. This gentleman right here. So, you're gonna receive
running a red light, running a stop sign,
and careless operation, okay? You ran two red lights
and a stop sign. The one right here. 'Cause we had to come
and catch you. Look, I'm not gonna debate
with you, okay? You can sign... You don't have to debate with
me. I'm asking you a question. -I'm telling you the answer.
-It sounds like you're debating. -I've said it already. How many
times... -Okay, and that's fine. What you saying, I'm supposed
to go by 'cause what you saying? You don't have to go
by anything I say. Okay. You gonna go to court to explain
your-your ticket. That's all. All right. All right. Well, he's not the judge
that's gonna have to hear it. (scoffs) All right, I mean... Hey, just sign it
and leave us... Just get out of here, you know? That was unnecessary. (starts engine) Have a good night, okay? Buckle up and drive safe,
all right? I'm already buckled! I-I thought I left being
the bad guy with Justin. -I should've let you do it.
You have a more... -I... I was kind of glad you didn't. You-you got a more friendlier
face than I do. (scoffs)<i>
Ugh.</i> <i> And one unhappy customer.</i> NICK:<i> So we got</i> somebody shot, supposedly,
at Saint Andrew and South Liberty. Female shot in the leg,
according to the notes. -How'd a girl get shot?
-They were probably aiming at somebody else.
I don't know-- <i> there's been a lot of girls</i> <i> getting shot
around here lately.</i> ♪ ♪ -All right.
-Stretcher? Yup. What we got, guys?
Ooh, Lord. HOLLY:<i>
We get a call for a female</i> shot in the leg. What we got, guys? HOLLY: Let's get her up,
get her on the stretcher. <i> She's actually shot
in the butt, not the leg.</i> -How you doing, boo? -How many
shots did you hear, honey? HOLLY:<i> Being shot in the butt
can be no joke.</i> You want to relax
that hand right there for me, that's be great. It can bounce around
against your pelvis, tear up your insides. <i> I mean,
you're talking trajectory.</i> <i> What angle did it go in at?</i> -Uh-huh. -We're gonna take it
off, baby. Give us a minute. -We got to start some IVs
on you. -Big stick, don't move. -One, two, three.
-HOLLY:<i> Apparently, there was</i> <i> an argument
between friends that she</i> <i> wasn't even a part of</i> <i> and the argument
escalated into gunshots.</i> <i> Unfortunately, she was caught
in the crossfire.</i> (sirens wailing,
Nick speaking indistinctly) HOLLY:
Just this shoe, huh? You say your whole leg hurts? Can you wiggle your toes for me? You can't 'cause it hurts,
or because you can't feel them? You can't feel your leg at all? HOLLY:<i> She can't move it,
she can't feel it.</i> Well, that's a definite concern. <i> Did this bullet
somehow hit her spine</i> <i> and paralyze
her lower extremities?</i> Can you feel this? You can feel that? Good, good. <i> Once she kind of, you know,
screamed out in pain,</i> <i> I was absolutely positive that
not only could she feel it,</i> <i> she could move it.
Sometimes there's a difference</i> <i> between someone
saying they can't</i> <i> do something because
there's a neurological issue,</i> or they can't do it
because it's too painful. <i> But that's something
that's really important</i> <i> for us to find out.</i> NICK:<i> What'd you think
about the booty meat call?</i> It is my opinion
that you are more likely to die from being shot in the butt -than being shot in the chest.
-Yeah. I mean, it depends
on the angle of the shooter, obviously, but, yeah. -The problem is the pelvis.
-Yeah. -I mean, luckily
she was doing okay. -Yeah. -Like, she was a little shocky.
-But she was little shocky. Right. -Exactly. -But she,
you know, she was doing okay. It's so weird
because you think about places you want to get shot, -but if you're an EMS
or medicine... -You know... ...you know that that is...
can be a death sentence. I mean, unless you got
that booty, though. I'm talking like Nicki Minaj.
Like plastic, fake booty. Ooh, yeah,
if you have a plastic, -fake booty it'd probably
just bounce off. -Yeah. -Yeah. -Exactly.
You'd be all right. Or it'd just deflate. -But it'd be like silicone
leaking out. -Yeah, that would -be funny, though. -How much
would that freak you out on a scene, though?
If you, like, rolled up and then just saw, like,
water shooting out of -somebody's butt?
-I'd-I'd push it with my finger. <i> (both laugh)</i> ARKADY:<i>
So the 500 block</i> for a five-year-old
with a fever. TOMMY:<i> The first thing
that runs through my head</i> <i> when you tell me that there's a
pediatric patient with a fever</i> is, how high is that fever?
Are they gonna have a really rapid increase
in the fever and have a seizure? What's going on? Can I take your temperature,
baby? Yeah? So, what happened? She's had
a fever for a couple of days? -Here, open your mouth.
-Ah. Put it under your tongue.
Under your tongue. All right, close your mouth. -All right, baby.
-Okay. How high was it? 101. I mean, like,
a fever's technically 100.8 or above.
She's at 101.0. -Yeah, grab a thermometer.
-Mama said it tastes funny. -And get some Tylenol.
-It does taste funny. And some kids' Motrin... -But it's gonna make you feel
better. -...and alternate 'em. <i> It happens all too often
that new parents call</i> <i> because they're concerned,</i> when it's something that can
just be taken care of at home. Nothing that needs
an emergency room. Okay? -Yeah. -Yeah, you're
gonna be all right. So, Mom, why you call
the ambulance? Ooh! Someone getting snappy. I called the ambulance... Then why you call the ambulance? Then they'll be taking
headaches. -She was worried about you.
-She's making sure you're okay. So you gonna take the medicine
your mommy gives you? Listen, you got to take it
for me, okay? You take it,
it's gonna make you feel better. -That's a computer?
-Uh-huh. Can I have your computer? No, you can't have my computer.
You want to do my job? -Yup. -Come on. You want
a picture of your heartbeat? Yeah? I'm gonna have to put some
stickers on you, okay? To show your heartbeat. No, that... that tickles. It... real quick, you ready? (beeping) So that's your heart beating. TOMMY:
You have a good, strong heart. ARKADY:
You do. See, that's what my heart looks like
when it beats. Because I like what I do. <i> I love telling people</i> <i> about what I do every day.
And I love</i> sharing my job
with other people. Press that button all the way
on the end. The red button. -(siren chirps)
-Whoa! (laughs) She was only five, but <i> who knows, maybe one day...</i> -That was you?<i>
-...she'll remember that day</i> that she got to play
in the ambulance. All right. So, you're gonna
make me a promise, right? Okay. I know the medicine's nasty,
but you're gonna take it, right? Uh-uh, look at me.
You're gonna take it, right? All right. Bye, cutie. TOMMY:<i>
Good Lord, could you imagine</i> <i> -living with that every day?</i>
-ARKADY:<i> Oh.</i> TOMMY:<i> Why you do this?
Why you do that?</i> <i> Why you did that?
All day long.</i> ARKADY:<i> I see you're not
prepared to have children.</i> TOMMY:<i>
Nah.</i> Whew, it feels good to be coming
back in here, huh? ARKADY:
It has been a long night. Feels good to be back
in the truck with you, I'll tell you that. Oh, definitely, definitely. Am I washing? I think we both washing. It's a long night. You know, from the...
the guy in the river to that cute little girl. -Yeah, but she gives you hope.
-She does. She was spunky and she was fun. And it kind of lifts you up
after a call like in the river. Where it kind of bring you down. That's what this job's
all about. -Oh, definitely. -It's a lot
of ups and downs and how you manage 'em. And people like her
is what gets you. <i> We know we can't
let our last call</i> <i> impact our next call,
so we don't.</i> <i> It ain't easy to go from
a gunshot wound to a sick kid,</i> <i> but it's a huge part
of what we do every night.</i> CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY
