-(siren wailing) -ANNOUNCER:<i>
Tonight on</i> Nightwatch... A lot of moving around,
changing of seats. Everybody in the car put your
hands up where I can see 'em right now. Hey,
what's in your left hand, man? MAYVILLE:
Oh, yeah, it's cookin', kid. (explosion) Shots fired! ANNOUNCER:<i>
In the city of Tampa,</i> <i>there are as many as 850
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>paramedics...</i> <i>and firefighters.</i> <i>This is</i> Nightwatch. ROBB:<i>
In this job, you have to make</i> <i>a lot
of split-second decisions,</i> <i>every day, every night.</i> <i>When you're in these situations</i> <i>and the unexpected happens,</i> <i>the proper training
will get you through.</i> <i>It keeps you alive.</i> <i>But not just you--</i> <i>your fellow officer
that you're on that call with.</i> DISPATCHER:<i>
Engine 20, vehicle accident.</i> <i>Bruce B Downs and Tampa Palms,
2140 hours.</i> DISPATCHER 2:<i> 2820,
transporting to St. Joseph's.</i> DISPATCHER 1:<i> Requesting airlift
confirmed by station.</i> <i>BLS is canceled.</i> ♪ ♪ -(horn honks)
-(brakes hiss) -Look at this.
-What's this right here, bikes with no lights? That guy's riding down the wrong side
of the roadway. Come on, guys. DIMITRI:<i> They're in the middle
of the road,</i> <i>and they have no lights</i> on their bikes,
which is super dangerous, 'cause they can get hit
by a car. <i>So I activate our lights</i> <i>-to do a bicycle stop.</i>
-(siren whooping) WILL:<i>
One guy starts grabbing</i> <i>for his waistband, and...</i> <i>I'm thinking they're gonna pull
something out of their pocket</i> <i>or they're gonna run.</i> Look at this kid. He's gonna go. He's gonna run.
Look, look, look, look. Why don't you have lights? You don't have lights
in the back. Get out here.
Bike's up! He's runnin'! Keep it up! Let me see your hands! Keep it up! Don't run from the police. Why you runnin', man?
You know I'm gonna catch you. What are you reaching for?
Hey, check back over there, bro. He threw something down,
for sure. (siren whooping) Hey, hold on with him
real quick. Let me see.
He threw something down, for sure. Just leave it here
and watch him real quick. Why you runnin', man? You got to think
of some new stuff, man. -It's not happening. -Let me
explain something to you, okay? I've almost been shot
three times. I've been shot once.
I haven't shot anybody. So don't give me that. DIMITRI: I'm pretty sure he
pulled it out of his waistband when he dove into the woods.
You get anything -over there, Nate?
-Right here. DIMITRI:
You found it? NATE:
Yeah, yeah. WILL:
What is it? -Got a gun?
-DIMITRI: Yep, that's it. ROBB: I think the serial
number's scratched off. Fully loaded. And one in the chamber. -He would've got one round off.
-Had it gone bad. DIMITRI:<i>
All this is is a bicycle stop</i> <i>for two kids riding bikes</i> <i>with no lights,
and it turns into what could've</i> easily been a shoot-out
and people getting shot <i>-and people dying.</i>
-Where'd you get the gun? DAVID: Said that the person
that let him borrow the gun bor... he borrowed it for... he gave the guy $80
and-and a-a gram of loud. DIMITRI: Buddy, let me explain
something to you real quick. Yeah, I heard you talking
about all this, you know,
people shooting people. When you start running from the
police and your hand goes into your waistband, bro, my ears
perk up, and I get scared that somebody's gonna pull out
a gun and shoot me. I don't want you
to pull out a gun, 'cause you probably are
just trying to get rid of it. But what if I see you with it
like this and you just want to see where I'm at and you go
like this? You're dead, bro. That's how things go bad quick, and then everybody thinks
that we want to shoot everybody. So you got to keep that in mind,
man. First of all, you shouldn't have a gun. Unless
you want to go get a permit and do it the right way,
you shouldn't have a gun on you. Have you ever shot a gun before? So you were riding around
with a loaded gun. Do you know how easy it is -for that to go off?
-Down your waistband. I mean,
it's not safe for you either. DAVID: You know how it works.
You make a mistake, you got to pay the consequences. Just because you messed up
doesn't mean you can't fix it. Yes, sir, he is.
Thank you very much. WILL:<i> The second subject
on the other bike,</i> <i>he doesn't have any active
warrants, so we cut him loose.</i> -Widen your stance. -DIMITRI:<i>
The defendant confessed</i> <i>to actually throwing the gun
down.</i> -Have a seat.<i>
-And he confessed to running</i> <i>because he was out on bond
as well, and he didn't want</i> to get in trouble and he didn't
want to go back to jail. Slide all the way back in
and get comfortable. It's gonna be about
a 15-minute drive. DIMITRI:<i> Crazy, bro. N-Now that
I'm calmed down and thinking</i> <i>about it, I'm like,
"Holy</i> (bleep),<i> bro,</i> <i>that could've been
a shoot-out."</i> You know, I hate talking
about it, 'cause it's sad, but, several years ago,
two officers did a traffic stop, regular, just like we do.
And they went back to the car, ran... The guy's sitting
in the passenger seat. Ran his name,
came back with a warrant for fraudulent use of checks. They both went
to the passenger side, opened the door, and told him to step out. And the guy had a gun
in his left hand under his left leg, and
he leaned forward to get out, like this, and he shot 'em both
in the face, point-blank. Killed both of them instantly. And got back in the car,
and the car drove off. And then the manhunt started
for four days. And he finally turned himself in
with his lawyer after the heat was on. The reality is there that,
any second, that guy that we meet -could do harm to you.
-Right. Traffic stop was right here. WILL:
I'm getting goose bumps, man. DIMITRI:<i>
Makes</i> (bleep)<i> so real.</i> -(alarm ringing)
-(beep) -(starts engine)
-TONY:<i> Said it's a chest wound.</i> DAVE:<i>
Roger that.</i> TONY:<i>
We're going to a...</i> -80-year-old stabbing.
-What?! -Holy (bleep).
-Chest wound. Why would you stab
an 80-year-old? I know, right? Geez, bro, there's gonna be some kind of weird story
behind this. Could be his 81-year-old wife. (siren wailing) (dispatcher
speaking indistinctly) Take a left right here. TONY:<i> Dave and I pull up,
and police are everywhere.</i> <i>So now I'm thinking,</i> "This is a bad call." <i>And our patient,
he wasn't 80 years old.</i> So I was kind of like, "Whew." -Hey, what's up?
-A huge slice down his ear. They had a big altercation. Didn't really...
Guy's got a pretty good lac right here that's on his chest
as well. Holy (bleep), look at this one. -That looks kind of deep.
-Yeah. -That's a good one. TONY: You having problems
breathing, man? DAVE:
All right. TONY: We're gonna get you
on the stretcher. <i>This knife
could've gone deep enough</i> <i>to where it could've punctured
his lungs.</i> All right, we're gonna be doing
some things, partner, all right? -All right. -He's gonna be
starting the IV on you. DAVE:<i> He's normotensive,
which means his blood pressure</i> <i>is good right now.</i> <i>So we want to keep that
in that range.</i> Did you see the weapon, man? Knife? <i>It's a load-and-go trauma alert
at this point because of the</i> mechanism of injury
and the location <i>on his chest.</i> TONY:
All right, who's driving me? Let's go. -(siren wailing)
-MAN:<i> Ow.</i> Dave, do him a favor
and reassess his lung sounds -for me, please.
-Will do. How's that ear wound looking? -Nice deep breaths for me,
okay, sir? -TONY: So the ear, what... how big was that lac? (siren wailing) What's that? Are... You feel like that? Okay. Forward. Deep breath. TONY:<i> Checking his lung sounds,
everything was clear.</i> <i>Didn't hear any wheezing</i> or any fluid in his lungs. Yeah, your lungs sound-sound
pretty good, so it sounds like they didn't
get the important stuff. How much blood
do you think you lost? You get cut anywhere else down
here at all, on your legs? You don't...
Do you feel anything? Well, you're alive. She'll be,
you know, grateful for that. <i>Ray, let me give you a hand.
There you go.</i> TONY:<i> We get him to the hospital
so they could go ahead</i> and do some imaging <i>to make sure that knife didn't
do any internal damage.</i> -All right, nice little ride
down.<i> -And probably gonna call</i> the plastic surgeon
to take a look at that ear, because... it was pretty gnarly. Hey, I should have got
the Lotto numbers from that guy. Longer knife,
placement where that was... -Yeah, man.
-Aah! -He got lucky, right?
-Yeah. I should have got
the Lotto numbers. Would you share them with me? Oh, you know, Dave, you're... Not really like a close... -You're my wife.
-You're beating around the bush? You're my wife. Why would I not
share with my wife? All right, all right, all right. I understand.
Well, you know, the wife gets half
of what the husband has. (Tony laughs) (siren blaring) ROBB:<i>
Huh.</i> My wife dropped a bomb on me
the other day. -Is she pregnant?
-No, no, no. -Just kidding.
-Um... My ten-year-old
is not sleeping good at night. He keeps getting up in the middle of the night
and looking outside. And I go, "What's he doing?" And she said that,
"He's worried about you." Oh! Sometimes he comes and climbs
in bed with me just to make sure -I'm home, you know?
-(garbled radio transmission) He's a little more sensitive. I guess he saw something
on TV that night. ROBB:<i> We have an officer that
says a vehicle fled from him.</i> <i>Several of our Roc officers</i> <i>find the vehicle,
and now they're pursuing it.</i> Come on.
He's coming right to us. No! Come our way. -Shots fired!
-Oh, (bleep). (siren blaring) BETHANY:<i> Robb and I hear
over the radio that</i> another unit has spotted
a stolen car. Shots fired! Oh, (bleep)!
(Bleep) damn it! ROBB:<i> When you hear
"shots fired," you truly</i> <i>get a lump in your throat.</i> (bleep) BETHANY:<i> It's obviously
a very dangerous situation</i> <i>because there's still
so many unknowns.</i> BETHANY:<i>
All I can do</i> at that point is say a prayer <i>in the hopes
that the officers are okay,</i> <i>and for the suspect to be okay.</i> We don't want anybody to die <i>for any reason.</i> (garbled radio transmission) OFFICER: Fire Department A--
they're here, man. Just... A. MAN:
Ow! Hey. He got two in the back. He's, uh... he's starting
to fade a little bit. What happened? No injuries to police officers.
He's got two gunshot wounds to the back.
He's pretty bad hurt. BETHANY:<i> The officers gave
verbal commands</i> <i>repeatedly for him to stop,
but the situation escalated,</i> <i>and the officers realized
that in order</i> to stop this guy, the only
option was to use deadly force. -ROBB: You want me to separate
'em, right? -BETHANY: Yeah. ROBB:
Y'all need to come over here. ROBB:<i> When you have situations
like this, we immediately</i> pull the officers that are
involved out of that scene. DISPATCHER:
Have somebody block four... I know. Just take deep breaths,
all right? <i>They'll give their statements,</i> <i>and then they'll be placed
on administrative leave,</i> <i>pending the investigation.</i> Yeah. Yeah. ROBB:<i> The officer said
he looked right at him and</i> <i>kind of smiled at him as he was
trying to run him over.</i> BETHANY:<i> I hope
the officers involved are okay.</i> <i>Especially when you think of,
you almost took someone's life.</i> You almost took
someone's son away, father away, whatever he may be. <i>And that's hard to deal with.</i> I mean, it's crazy, the split-second decisions
you have to make when you're in fear
for your life. ROBB:<i> He could have pulled over,
put his hands up.</i> <i>Nothing would have happened
to him.</i> BETHANY:<i>
You know what? I know some cops</i> that have never even
drawn their gun. I've never had to fire mine. Come close. ROBB:<i>
I've been shot at three times,</i> <i>and, uh,
it's a tough situation,</i> and you're concentrating
on all your training. And then you realize, man,
I'm actually going to have to fire my weapon, and it's all hitting you
at once at <i>less than a split second...</i> (lively music, chatter) Oh, yes. Have a good night.
Be careful. -(woman whoops)
-Party safe. Use a designated driver! Fantastic. -(beeping) -Got a call.
Got a call. -You got a call? Rescue 4. (radio beeps) -Fire.
-Fire. (siren blaring, horn blaring) Damn it. Get out of the way. We're right here,
around the corner. (siren blaring) -Oh, (bleep).
-(horn blares) Rescue 4. Acknowledge. (multiple sirens blaring) MAYVILLE: Clear right!
Clear right! Clear right! Third Avenue... fire. I don't see any smoke. DISPATCHER:
Truck 1 responding... I smell something. -The cops are here. -MAYVILLE:
Ask 'em where it's at. Ask 'em! Stop! Ask 'em right there.
Ask these guys where it's supposed to be. -Hey, is this the address?
-MAN: Up there? -Rescue 4 on scene in the area.
-STOKES: You got any...? Nothing showing. TPD's trying to find out
some more information for us. -(sirens blaring)
-It's a crem...? -And I guess they...
-(laughter) STOKES:<i> So it turns out
that this is a crematory, and,</i> <i>come to find out that if you</i> cremate a body
after it's been embalmed, it winds up smoking a lot. Uh, false call. Affirmative.
You can cancel all companies. It's a crematory, and they put
a body in there, and it had embalming fluid in it,
and they didn't know it. That's creepy, bro. What if we'd gone in there,
and there'd just been bodies everywhere? (garbled radio transmission) I would love to be able
to see our faces with-with... when the freakin'... Like, when a fire comes up,
and I'm in the background, "They burned a body!" (laughter) (laughing):
They burned a body. Really, seriously. (laughing):
They're burning the body! (laughter) ROBB:
Your mom and dad worry? Yeah. See, where my family was like, "You don't want
to be a police officer." 'Cause nobody in my family is. My dad was even like, "Don't you want to be a lawyer? Go to law school.
I'll help you out." I'm like, "No." -(rolling thunder) -You met me
when I first started. I know it's changed me. Oh, it's changed you
drastically. I think I was very naive to how -awful people can be.
-I bet you the first two years,
you didn't even know if people were lying to you. -(garbled radio transmission)
-Nope. I'd never seen drugs before. Golly. Is he saying two cars
just fled from him? He said two cars, man.
I wonder if they just took 'em off a lot somewhere. BETHANY:<i>
We hear on the radio</i> <i>that two cars just fled
from a traffic stop,</i> <i>which is pretty rare.</i> ROBB:
Ooh, that's stolen. That's got to be. BETHANY:<i>
There's actually two cars</i> <i>fleeing at the same time.</i> <i>And they're driving
really close to each other.</i> ROBB:
How we look? You're good. You're good. <i>Usually that tells us</i> <i>that either
they just committed a crime,</i> or one of the cars is stolen,
if not both. Is that one of them? This is one of 'em right here. (siren blaring) BETHANY:<i> Several members
of the Roc Squad</i> <i>are in pursuit of two
suspicious cars that just</i> <i>fled from a traffic stop.</i> Is that one of 'em? This is one of 'em right here. BETHANY: This is
the other car right here. <i>I see a car parked
on the side of the road</i> <i>that matches the description</i> of one of the vehicles
we're looking for. Whose car is this? This is your car? BETHANY:
Do you know who they are? ROBB: You know them? ROBB:<i> At first he was trying</i> to pass himself off as that he was a witness. <i>But he was the driver
of the second vehicle.</i> I saw you following him,
21st and Cord all the way up to Osborne. No,
you were following him because he had no lights on
and that pr... that car's probably stolen. You were the back car,
you fled and he fled. BETHANY:<i>
A lot of times the second car</i> <i>will follow
behind the stolen car,</i> blocking the tag
so we can't get behind it <i>to run it to see
if it's stolen.</i> Who was in that car? You know who was in that car.
Yes, you do. ROBB:<i> The trick to breaking down</i> <i>a suspect that is lying is to</i> ask 'em the same question
over and over, <i>because they never
give you the same answer.</i> Who was in that car, man? -Okay.
-ROBB: Okay, who's your friend? -NATE: Now we're getting
somewhere. -Who's your friend? Oh, come on, man, God Almighty. Are you serious? That's the worst nickname
I've ever heard. How long have you known him? Help with something.
What'd he say, "I need help with something,
so tailgate me for six miles"? ROBB: I think that car's stolen.
So that's grand theft auto, 'cause you're the pursuit car
in the grand theft. You know that means? You're supposed
to ride its bumper so we don't get the tag. Yeah. ROBB:
Dude, what is the guy's name? -You know it. You know it.
-Sir, hey. -You know it.
-This... this... Me and him have been doing this
a really long time. ROBB: No. ROBB:<i>
If a suspect's honest with me,</i> I'm always willing
to work with him. He said to hide the tags, right? Why would you think
he said to do that? ROBB:<i> But if they're not, then</i> they're gonna get everything
that I can give 'em. You're a liar. I been listening
to you for 20 minutes and all you do is lie, and now you can't
tell me who was with you! So you're gonna get grand theft,
you're gonna get burglary, you're gonna get
attempted homicide, running through lights
every day. Yes. ROBB: Fleeing to elude. We're gonna send your little ass
to prison. So welcome to Florida. Not everybody can play bad cop. <i>There's so many different
interviewing styles.</i> <i>I try to use the one that cuts</i> right to the point really fast. BETHANY: How many other people
were in the car? ROBB: All right,
now you're making me feel a little bit better. <i>He finally confesses,
but we just</i> <i>wasted too much time with him</i> <i>and the other three guys
had time to get away.</i> That guy made me yell at him.
I mean, he's such a bad liar. I would love to play poker
with that guy. He's that bad of a liar. <i>I think it's a shame</i> <i>that he's already getting
into trouble</i> <i>when he said that</i> <i>he came here to start over.</i> He just needs to make better
decisions. (Bethany chuckles) ROBB: Not always. I think almost every time
I've seen you. ROBB:
I'm lost being good cop, though. (laughing) (line rings) -We're all over it.
-If you've got a call with 10, we'll be able to pick it up. Tell me what we got, kid. Ooh! MAYVILLE:<i> Rescue 4, copy.</i> Working fire. Flames showing. I don't see nothing yet. BOGUSH:<i> Just got dispatched</i> to a working structure fire. Just heard
on the radio that, uh, they've got, uh,
fire through the roof and heavy smoke conditions
and they've already called for a second alarm. <i>Second alarm
means that the situation</i> has become too large <i>and life endangerment
is so great</i> <i>that they're gonna need
the extra hands.</i> There is smoke, though,
so it is a working fire. Huh? Oh, yeah. Oh, look at that
right there, Billy! MAYVILLE:
Yeah, I see it. Oh, yeah, it's cooking, kid. (bleep) MAYVILLE:<i> At this point in time,
the structure</i> <i>is heavily involved in fire.</i> <i>And actually pretty much
blacked out.</i> Yeah, come on, get dressed,
let's do it. BOGUSH: Command by. STOKES:
(whoops) Getting some flame now. Copy. Hey! You ought to not
go any further forward. Do not advance any more! STOKES:<i> This is not a structure
that I want to venture into</i> <i>too deep
because of the conditions.</i> <i>So we back out
until we can get it</i> knocked down a little bit more. BOGUSH:
David, Engine 4 is set up with a full house hook up here. -DAVE: Okay. -Engine 12's
gonna relay from Engine 4, -down that side.
-Oh, perfect, okay. -Okay, perfect. -Plenty of
water, okay? That's what they're -working on right now.
-Okay. BOGUSH:<i> Because of the
construction of this building</i> <i>we know that it won't
take much heat and flame</i> <i>for this building to collapse.</i> <i>We go into defensive mode.</i> These firefighters know
that in defensive mode, <i>we don't make entry
into the building,</i> <i>and we're gonna fight this fire
from the outside.</i> BOGUSH:
Copy that. We've got, uh, heavy fire here at the front.
We're gonna have to get some hand lines in
through the front windows. Let's get some lines on that. (whoops) MAYVILLE:
Right here, kid! Right here. BOGUSH: Eco's advised
that the power has been shut to the entire building. Command by. Copy that. Squirt water on it. BOGUSH:<i> We need to keep
a steady stream of water</i> <i>on these propane tanks
to keep 'em cool.</i> <i>'Cause if these things
heat up and light off,</i> <i>then they're gonna take off
like missiles, they're gonna</i> throw some shrapnel around
and they're gonna end up <i>causing us some serious issues.</i> (explosion) BOGUSH: Command to County 32. I want to get some hand lines
pulled. We've got, uh, propane tanks over there
I'm a little worried about. <i>We're dealing with
a second alarm</i> <i>structure fire.</i> BOGUSH:<i> It's important for us to
get these hose streams in place</i> <i>to keep that fire in check
and keep it</i> <i>from moving over
to those propane tanks</i> and causing us
some serious issues. BOGUSH:<i> Any time you get
a building of this size</i> <i>and you get partial collapses,
it's extremely difficult</i> to get these fires put out. BOGUSH:<i> It can be frustrating</i> sometimes, but <i>you just have to tuck that away</i> <i>and focus in
on what your goals are</i> <i>and just meet those goals,
one by one.</i> BOGUSH: Acknowledge, thank you. <i>You know,
as an incident commander,</i> <i>you take pride in seeing these
guys bringing it all together,</i> <i>being able to take this
chaotic, madhouse situation,</i> bringing some kind
of order to it. Here's your water. BOGUSH:<i> We were able
to walk away without</i> anybody being injured and everybody got to go home to their families
the next morning. STOKES:
That was freaky hot. -It is hot, man, it's super hot.
-I wa... I'm, like, -dehydrated right now.
-I'm dying. <i>Well, that's a total loss.
There's no doubt about that.</i> 'Cause that thing
was getting it. Well, I mean...
there wasn't no window without -fire coming out of it when
we first got there. -Right. I was not kidding you.
When we turned around to go out and there was
light coming in, I could see your silhouette-- you were smoking
like a campfire. I'm like, "Holy crap,
it's too hot in here, man. <i>We're gonna just ignite."</i> BETHANY:
You became a cop because you like
chasing bad guys. That's exactly right. Well, what age
did you think you knew -you wanted to be a cop? -You
really want to know the truth? -Yeah.
-I was four. -Four?
-Like, when you were a kid, you didn't look at cops and
say, "Man, that's pretty cool"? -No.
-Really? -(chuckling): No.
-I guess I'm a dork. Where? Right here. BETHANY:<i>
We hear Air Service say</i> <i>that they just saw someone run
from a car</i> <i>when a marked patrol unit</i> drove past it. ROBB:
All right, we're here. Which house? ROBB: 391. It's the black car
on the west side, right? ROBB:<i> Yeah, you get nervous
all the time.</i> <i>You know, to stay alive</i> in this job, you got to assume everybody's armed. Here we go. Yes. ROBB:<i>
It's a dangerous situation</i> <i>when you can't see them
behind a fence.</i> Watch him right there. ROBB:<i>
Perfect place</i> <i>to ambush the police.</i> MARK:
Straight up at him. ROBB:
Don't run. Let me see your hands. Put your hands up, man. Put your hands in the air! ROBB: Keep your hands out
of your pockets. Watch him right there. BETHANY:<i>
Air Service witnessed</i> <i>someone run from a car</i> <i>when a marked patrol unit
drove past them.</i> ROBB:
Put your hands up, man. -Put your hands in the air!
-Let me see your hands! BETHANY:
Hands in the air. ROBB:
Put 'em on top of your head, you interlock them. Do you always sleep
under the stairs? (siren chirps) I don't know, you tell us. You left the car running. Right there. DIMITRI:
What's your story, buddy? The average person,
when they see the police, doesn't just get up
and start running. No, we was already out here
hanging out. But you're sweating,
you turn around and ran. This is from going
over the fence? -This right here?
-MAN: Yes, sir. Yeah, over the fence when you hit the ground
on the other side? ROBB: I got to go check
under the stairwell. DIMITRI: There's a bunch
of money down here. Bet you it's his. Counterfeit money. Yeah, that's what he was hiding. Oh, buddy, it's right where
you climbed out. Buddy, that's the worst
counterfeit money I've ever seen. <i>He said it wasn't his,</i> <i>but everything under
the staiase was dirty,</i> <i>and damp, except for
his money and him.</i> That's why you
jumped over there, and that's why you hid it, and you were worried about it. Tell the truth. All right, that's the first thing
you've told true. Guess what? You're probably gonna
get a ticket and get out of here. Listen to me closely, my name's Robb, all right? And I'm out here all the time. The next time you deal
with the police, don't drag them through this. BETHANY:
All right, just sit tight. You want to talk to him anymore? No, I'm done with him. BETHANY:
When Air Service saw him, he was trying to get away
or, like, avoid you. BETHANY: So we can't
charge him with the bills 'cause we didn't find them
on him. And you can't charge him
with stupidity. Unfortunately. ROBB:<i>
The spot where he was hiding?</i> I was shining my light on him,
I could not see him. I guess he couldn't get
that gate open. And that's why
he jumped over it. He's getting nothing really. Getting a criminal
traffic ticket. The problem is Air Service
spotted him watching the march unit. When the march unit turned, and he took off running,
there wasn't much we could do. We can't even really charge him
with resist 'cause the police officers
never said stop. No. I feel like I drove
90 miles an hour into a wall. (laughs) (alarm bell ringing) (siren wailing) STOKES:<i>
Nine-year-old kid,</i> difficulty breathing. Had a treatment,
it's not working. MAYVILLE:<i> Being a dad,
calls with children</i> <i>kind of tends to tug
at your heart a little bit.</i> You tend to relate
more personally. -Let's go say hi
to the little guy. -4 on scene. MAYVILLE:
Hey, big guy. -What's up?
-(air hissing) You okay? You scared? What are you scared of? Heart hurts? STOKES: Yeah, that's from

Let's take this out your mouth. I'm gonna listen to your
breathing, okay, big guy? Yeah? STOKES:
So you have asthma? How old are you, bubba? Nine? Man, you look like
you're ten at least. MAYVILLE:
I thought you were like 24. STOKES:
Take a nice, easy, deep breath. Slow your breathing down. There you go. Now, when you take a deep
breath, does it hurt pretty bad right in there? Where's it hurt? Point to it for me. Right there? You been coughing? You get a headache? Well, you
got to stop that coughing then. You don't want no headache,
do you? The thing he's saying is, when
he takes a nice, deep breath, he's having some chest pain. Now, it could be... Does he have, does he have
a history of pneumonia? Okay, has he had a fever? Okay. MAYVILLE:<i> Asthma in itself,
if left untreated,</i> <i>can be dangerous.</i> <i>Now we're learning</i> <i>he has a history of pneumonia.</i> <i>Everything's a little
more serious.</i> <i>Our main goal at this
point in time</i> <i>is to keep him calm,</i> and let him know that
everything's gonna be okay. Is that pain feeling a little
better in your chest? No? Put you back on
this stuff again here. You still scared? <i>I ain't gonna do nothing
to hurt you, all right?</i> No needles, no nothing.
How about that? Sound like a plan? All right. You ever seen
a picture of you heart before? You want to? Right there? That's your heart beat. Each time it beats,
this big line form goes, okay? You want a picture of that? <i>When I'm treating kids,
I tend to treat them</i> <i>as my own, so I take all kids</i> very serious and personal. You want to give me a bump? All right.
You kind of missed, but I'm gonna let you slide
'cause you don't feel good. You making good grades? Promise? All right, I'm gonna
keep track of you. <i>You don't smoke, right?</i> -Mm-mm.
-You don't drink alcohol? And you don't do drugs? You better never start. I'm proud of you, kid. Grandma, you do a good job. <i>Treating kids can be
very rewarding.</i> To see him start to smile
toward the end, <i>is a tremendous feeling.</i> <i>I think this guy's
gonna be just fine,</i> <i>with a little rest and some
breathing treatments.</i> My man. What you got there? Your heart? You're holding
your heart in your hand? -He's holding his heart in
his hand. -That's just crazy. Hang on to that, now. (Will giggles) It's Friday night, buddy. -♪ It's Friday night. ♪
-They're out here. Oh, man. What? It's Friday. Any felonious stare downs? You're lucky I, uh, my voice
is gone, I can't sing to you. I can't serenade you. Darn. OFFICER (on radio):
Just per 43, we're set up, we have a view
of the, uh, silver... -Sketchy
-Mm-hmm. That'd be it,
silver, four-door Honda. DIMITRI:
That was not a complete stop. WILL:
No, it wasn't, it rolled it. Signal 50 it real quick,
see what's happening. (horn honks) DIMITRI: Lot of moving around,
changing of seats. Put your hand up.
Everybody in the car, put your hands up where
I can see them, right now. <i>I see all kinds of movement.</i> <i>This is an immediate
cause for concern,</i> <i>it's not normal behavior
whenever you do a traffic stop.</i> Hey, what did I just tell you? <i>They're not complying.</i> <i>The severity of the situation
is skyrocketing.</i> This is a perfect example of
how a simple traffic stop <i>can go from zero to 100
real quick.</i> I don't know what you have
in your pockets, man. WILL: Lot of moving around,
changing of seats. Put your hands up. <i>As I'm walking up to the car,
I see a lot of movement inside.</i> Everybody in the car,
put your hands up where I can see 'em
right now. <i>This is an immediate cause
for concern because</i> I don't know what's
going on in that car. I don't know what you have
in your pockets, man. DIMITRI: Don't move,
just stay the way you are, -both of you guys.
-Hey, unlock the car. (indistinct radio transmission) This guy's our driver, let's get
him out real quick. Keep your hands up-- don't put
your hands anywhere but up. That's how people get hurt.
You understand me, right? Put your hand right there,
on your head, right there. Everything goes bad when
people's hands go down. -You know what I'm saying?
-You have anything on you you're not supposed to have? What's with all the weird
movement in the car? Well, then, why
where you driving? Don't lean on the car, man.
Stay right here. -It's (bleep).
-Yeah, it's him. -Oh, you know him?
-Yeah. I know right where he lives. WILL: Mit, did you search
this front? And there's weed right there
on the floorboard. -Is that what he was
worried about? -Probably that. They're being honest,
so you gonna cut 'em? -I'm gonna cut all of 'em.
-Okay, that's fine. Hey, guys, listen up
real quick, all right? We're gonna have
a little group talk. I'm gonna tell you that you were
in the driver's seat. Okay, so you have no license,
so you're scared. So you try to get out
of the driver's seat 'cause you're not supposed
to be driving. I can work with that. The three honest guys.
I love it. I think we're gonna be able
to work this out and get everybody on their way. Here's what's in the car. A little sack of weed,
which is a misdemeanor. A ticket. It's nothing major
for people to go to jail about, okay? You're gonna get tickets,
and you're all gonna be on your way, all right--
nobody's going to jail. That goes a long way in our book
when you're honest with us. -You don't make us
work harder for it. -Yes. -But don't drive (bleep).
-No, sir. Don't drive! We haven't dealt with you
in forever. Whatever you were doing,
you were doing it right until tonight. Okay, well, stay home
and take care of her. WILL:<i> More officers die
in a traffic stop</i> <i>than any other incident
that they become involved in.</i> Okay, here's your ticket for driving with no license,
all right? WILL:<i> And here, keeping
our cool and remaining calm</i> <i>in this situation kept
everybody safe tonight.</i> Don't take this the wrong way,
but I hope I don't ever see you again,
you know what I'm saying? At least not on the job. On to the next one, buddy. ROBB:
Man, driving down this road gives me the chills. "Officer Jeffrey A. Kocab
and Officer Dave Curtis Memorial Highway." I knew 'em both. My partner, at the time,
talked to Jeffrey Kocab quite a bit, 'cause they both
played hockey. Yeah, I remember Curtis,
because when I was a field
training officer, he was, like,
my dinner partner's probationary officer. So we would go eat together. Just the nicest guy. <i>Every day, our department
as a whole probably does</i> <i>hundreds of traffic stops.</i> And you never know
who it's gonna be in the car... -(siren chirps)<i>
-...or if they have a gun,</i> <i>or if today's the day they
don't want to go back to jail.</i> ROBB:
Over six years ago. This seems like just yesterday. Did they write on 'em? -Yeah. They're, like, engraved.
-Oh, yeah, they did. ROBB:
God Almighty, man. They put their badge numbers
and everything. Wow. ROBB: They got the
"thin blue line" on there. Oh, I didn't even notice that. ROBB:
That's really nice. 6/29. That was a pretty
screwed-up scene, I can tell you that--
there was cars everywhere. When it happened, I was still
working at FDLE, and right at the moment,
I was, like, "I'm going back to Tampa." Yeah, that was what made you -come back, right?
-Yeah. I was, like,
"I'm not doing any good sitting at a desk." Like, "I need to be
back on the street." When we ride by
these crosses and everything, it reminds me it can
happen to anybody at any time. And every police officer
that's ever done this job for a matter of time has cheated death. Oh, yeah. <i>Split-second decisions are</i> <i>part of our job every day--</i> <i>not knowing what's
