ANNOUNCER:<i>
Tonight on</i> Nightwatch... TITUS:<i>
Man, what's going on?</i> -OFFICER: They beat the (bleep)
out of him. -TITUS: Oh, (bleep). -(man groaning)
-TITUS: Oh, my man. -Did he bail?
-He bailed out? BRIDGES:<i>
This way, this way, this way!</i> Hey, I need the cars
out the way, so we can get
the fire trucks in here! Hey, get this car out the way! (sirens wailing) Hey, anybody else in this house? Back up, back up! 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. HOLLY:<i>
Even at the beginning,</i> <i> we're always thinking
about the ending.</i> <i> What I mean by that is
whenever we get a call,</i> <i> we immediately think about
where it could go.</i> <i> Is someone's life at risk?</i> <i> And what can we do
to save them?</i> <i> See what I'm saying?</i> <i> The end is all we care about.</i> <i> We're always trying to do
whatever we can</i> <i> to get people smiling
when we say good-bye.</i> (indistinct radio chatter) TITUS:
3220, we're in the area. These some good Tic Tacs, man.
They're orange. When you start
rocking with these? You know they're breath mints,
not candy. Did you close them all the way? -I ain't heard it snap.
-(laughing) I don't want the little
orange (bleep) capsules rolling around everywhere. -Boy, you're a pain in the ass.
-You know, I know, right? You really have weird ways
of irritating me. You stick your nasty-ass fingers
on my bag of cookies, then you eat my (bleep) Tic Tacs
and don't close the cap. Dude, that sounds so wrong. I stick my fingers
in your bag of cookies, huh? (both laughing) That just sound nasty,
you know, that word. -Hey, me and you, sugar.
-Right. (laughs) TITUS: Uh, I don't know
where they're at. See something in front, but I
damn sure don't see no rollover. Oh, (bleep) he's on the ground.
Got two people on the ground. -Wearing handcuffs.
-Oh, they sure the (bleep) is. -Is this the MVC?
-Yes. Dan and I, we're receiving
a call for an MVC. Where's the (bleep) car? TITUS:<i> But I don't see
any vehicles,</i> <i> so something is funny
about this.</i> I don't know. What's up, man? What's going on? TITUS:
All right. All right,
but where's the victim? Oh, my man. -You were walking when
he hit you? -(man groaning) What the...? Oh, so this wasn't an MVC,
it's just a 34, like they were fighting. Hey, man, have you been
drinking today? -(groaning)
-A little bit? All right, man, look, this is
what we're gonna do, all right? -(groaning) -I'm gonna put
something on your neck, and we're gonna put you across
a board, all right? -(groaning)
-DAN: All right. This appears to be
a different call. I believe this is just a 34. Yeah, that's where we were
supposed to be going. <i> The police officers tell us
that there is an MVC</i> <i> a block or so up the street,
but that it was very minor,</i> and now we're already here. We've made contact
with this patient, so we can't move on
to another call, now that we've already seen him. We're gonna need to send
another unit to the MVC. -Definitely get a spine board
for this dude. -All right. TITUS: All right, look.
Let me put this on your neck. -All right?
-(groaning) All right, now, my brother. He's got a lash
to the head there. TITUS: Maybe that's
what's bleeding down. DAN:<i> When someone has been
beaten as hard</i> <i> as he's been beaten,
we were concerned about</i> <i> if he's got head bleed,</i> <i> if he's got a skull fracture,</i> <i> if he's got things that
we can't see and treat,</i> <i> so that's why we want to
take care of his spine,</i> put him in a collar,
and then get him to a hospital. TITUS: We're gonna get
some blood pressure on you, all right? Tell me right now
what hurts you. Your what? Your head? All right.
What about your chest? All right, good. DAN: How much you had
to drink tonight? One beer? Right. Did you get knocked out? All right. You're gonna feel a big stick
in your arm, okay? TITUS: Now we're gonna get you
to the hospital, man, all right? -Thanks, Titus.
-Yeah. I did all your work. Yeah, you did a good job. (siren wailing) DAN:
What you all was beefing over? Not you, huh? So y'all was just chilling and he just started getting
a little wild? It's not cool that he was,
he was doing that while you're intoxicated. That's not fair,
that's not fair fighting. I guess he used to be your boy,
huh? Not anymore? Well, we're taking you
up to the hospital. We got to get your head
all checked out, 'cause it's all swollen
over there, okay? DAN:
Well, it looks like we're here. I can't even say "I hate to see
what the other guy looked like." Boy looked like he ain't have
a scratch on him. DAN: Well, I mean,
he is a little drunk. TITUS: Damn.
That was his boy, too, huh? DAN: It's not too cool
that he's beating on him while he's drunk. -TITUS: Right.
-DAN: That's not fair. That'd be like me beating on you
when you're drunk. TITUS:
That would never happen. DAN:
Yeah, it might. What? It's fine. Go. I hate when the radio get quiet
like this. About ten minutes of silence. That's when it all starts. Are you ready
what's about to happen? What's about to happen? -You shall see. Just be ready.
-Mm-mm. ♪ Da-da... ♪ ♪ Da-dum. ♪ BRIDGES:<i> The task force is out
conducting proactive patrols,</i> <i> looking for
any suspicious activity</i> <i> within the area
of the Fifth District.</i> Yo. I think Ladarius
is going after him. BRIDGES:<i>
Ladarius spotted a vehicle,</i> <i> and the vehicle won't stop.
We drive around the block,</i> <i> try to cut him off.</i> -Did he bail?
-He bailed out? (radio beeps) Where he went? Which way? BRIDGES:
This way, this way, this way! -(radio beeps)
-Will, get to Franklin. Call for an ambulance,
ambulance, ambulance. (indistinct radio chatter) Which way? BRIDGES:<i> When the guy takes off
on Ladarius,</i> <i> our job is to contain him
within the block.</i> <i> Once we lost sight
of the subject,</i> we shifted our focus
back to the vehicle. Say, buddy, did anybody
run this car? I'm about to. Come on, let's run this car. We-We're standing around
wasting time here. (indistinct radio chatter) Huh? BRIDGES:<i> After running the plate
of the vehicle,</i> <i> we found out
that it was a stolen,</i> and actually belonged
to a woman who lived in the Seventh District. -Is it stolen?
-No, it's not stolen. BRIDGES:<i> In our search
of the vehicle, I didn't find</i> any clues as to why
the driver ran. BRIDGES:<i> We contacted
the Seventh District,</i> <i> and hopefully they can use the
information that we gave them</i> to get to the bottom of
whatever's going on. It'll come out
in the Seventh District. BRIDGES:<i> Even though
we didn't catch the guy,</i> at least the registered owner
can get their car back. Hey, thanks, honey! Bye! (siren wailing) Dan must be in a mood. -Oh, no.
-Could you imagine being Titus, and being with somebody
so moody? Titus is always, like, so happy
and energetic and, like, bubbly. And Dan's just like...
grumpy bestie. I think they kind of
rotate through. Titus is just chill. HOLLY:<i>
Nick and I get dispatched to</i> a male patient not feeling well. We don't have
any medical history. <i> We don't have any specifics
on the current problem.</i> <i> We just know
someone's not feeling well.</i> NICK:
3232 on scene. What's up, man? Alcohol withdrawal. When was the last time
you had a drink? -NICK: Okay. -HOLLY:
Let's start with, like, checking your vitals signs
and everything. NICK: Yeah, we'll get you
on the stretcher real quick. HOLLY:<i> Knowing that he's had
a stroke in the past</i> makes it a little more serious
in your mind. <i> I mean, trying to just
medically detox himself</i> <i> from alcohol at home</i> can actually kill you. Put this on, okay? So is it just alcohol addiction
or anything else? Okay. And you haven't drank today
at all? So you kind of started
the process, but then you drank again? Swap with me. No. New Orleans is
a great place to drink. Probably not a great place
to try to detox. NICK:
Used up. I've got one little one
over here. HOLLY:<i> We've seen patients that
are just so close to death</i> <i> just from, you know,
alcohol detox,</i> <i> because your body becomes
just as dependent on alcohol</i> as mine is dependent on water. <i> You look like crap;
I can't lie.</i> <i> Your heart rate's
through the roof.</i> I mean, you're definitely
detoxing, but... But you just got to fight
through it if you really want it. Is that why you had the stroke
before, was from detoxing? It's kind of a catch-22,
'cause the alcohol can kill you and the detoxing can kill you. It's hard on your body to do it. <i> It's not easy.</i> (siren wailing) HOLLY: Hold on, baby.
We're gonna take you in, sir. <i> You can only try
to help somebody so many times.</i> <i> You have to want it,
and you have to go get it.</i> <i> You have to go
check yourself into</i> one of these facilities
and allow them to help you. KEELEY:<i> I'm gonna be
en route to that 34S.</i> We have a person that's shot. We're not too far from it. Go over there
and give the unit a hand. -6210 on scene.
-DISPATCHER: 2222. KEELEY:
Is he room four? <i> A male that's been shot
to his neck, his shoulder,</i> also to his head <i> with a high-caliber weapon.</i> <i> The way he's been shot,</i> he probably shouldn't be alive. Don't move, baby, don't move. -(groans)
-Don't move, baby, don't move. We get a call
for a male that's been shot <i> to his neck, his shoulder,
also to his head.</i> You're all right
right now, okay? He probably shouldn't be alive. We've seen worse, baby,
we've seen worse. We'll do some
quick I.V.s on you and get you
to the trauma center, okay? You're gonna be all right, okay? <i> Considering the injuries</i> <i> that he does have,
it's a very good sign</i> <i> that he's talking to us.</i> 10. What's our time? Sit up, baby. You can't sit up? <i> On calls that meet
trauma protocol,</i> <i> we have ten minutes or less
on scene.</i> <i> There's not a whole lot
that we can do</i> <i> for the patient
out in the field.</i> Trauma patients need surgery. All right, y'all ready? (siren wailing) 6210. I'm clear. Pretty much a miracle that you get shot up
with an assault rifle and live to tell the story. Very lucky. (radio beeps) DISPATCHER:

Assign 2033. (siren wailing) LANDON: (bleep)<i>
I'm so glad this is your call.</i> No. Do you know that I don't--
no, I hate eyes. -You might have to take
this call. -Okay, I'll take it. What's your weakness? I don't have a weakness, ma'am. -Oh, all right, Superman.
-Oh, I take that back. One time, a guy choked on, like, a tuna fish sandwich;
I had to, like, pull pieces of half-masticated tuna fish
sandwich out of his throat, and that was bad, 'cause
I hate the smell of tuna fish. (laughing) I was like... (mock retching) I... (mock retches) BROOKE:
I think it's in here. LANDON:
I'm gonna say it's... here. BROOKE:<i>
The whole time, I'm thinking</i> <i> in my mind how much
I hate eye injuries.</i> <i> Eyes gross me out.</i> <i> I don't know why.
I've been that way</i> <i> my entire career.</i> Don't like eye injuries. BROOKE:
So, what happened? Hi. Oh, you're adorable. What happened with the key?
Where did he put it? -Oh. -LANDON: Okay. They said
he put it in his eye socket. -BROOKE: We got it as
"eye socket." -(laughter) LANDON:<i> He didn't stick it
in his eye socket,</i> <i> he had stuck it
in a light socket.</i> <i> While that is horrible
and can cause a lot of,</i> <i> you know, complications,</i> automatically
just really relieved that <i> this kid doesn't have keys
hanging from his eye.</i> You can see where the plastic
on the key completely burned... -How old is he?
-One. -One. Any med-- any major
medical problems? -No. Uh, why don't you let us
run him up to the hospital, -get him checked out.
-Okay. Just since it was a electrical
charge that hit him. LANDON: All right, Mom, we're
gonna bring him out to the truck and just put him on the monitor,
start checking him out. -(indistinct radio chatter)
-Aw... LANDON: We'll see you out there
in just a minute. You want to go see
the cool lights? Let's go see the ambulance. <i>The heart runs off electricity.</i> So you throw another current
in there, and it can throw everything off. All right, little man. <i> So I want to get him
in the back of the truck,</i> <i> get a set of vitals--
electricity is</i> not something
you want to play around with. TOMMY: Sir, what's your
Social Security number? -Sir? -LANDON: Okay, buddy,
I'm gonna take a picture of your heart with all these
stickers. Okay, hold real, real still for me,
don't move at all. -Hold still. Don't move.
-Don't move. Don't move. Oh, you're doing so good. LANDON (whispers):
It's perfect. -BROOKE: You're so cute.
-LANDON:<i> I think that's</i> <i> the youngest patient
I've ever done a 12-lead on.</i> <i> 'Cause generally,
you're not concerned</i> <i> about cardiac issues,</i> as far as heart attacks
at that age. All right. BROOKE:
You ready to go? <i> But with, you know,
electrocution,</i> <i> it can alter
your cardiac rhythm,</i> <i> and we were wanting to see
if there's any irregularities,</i> <i> if there's anything
we need to be concerned about</i> <i> with his heart.</i> See your heartbeat? See your heartbeat?
So, he's one. How old is your other one? And then you got one on the way? -Ooh.
-(laughs) You're gonna be
a big brother, too, huh? (laughs):
Oh, there's that smile. We're there! BROOKE:<i> Landon says I'm,
like, the child whisperer,</i> <i> and I'm like, I don't know.</i> Oh, my goodness. (groans) <i> They're just, they're just</i> perfect little beings. LANDON:<i> I'm not looking forward
to that part of being</i> a parent.
You do such a good job all the time, and then, like, for one second
you're not watching out... She literally, she's like,
"I never put my keys "on the table,
I always hang my keys up. "The one time I put them down
on the table, "because I got sidetracked,
my kid sticks 'em in an electrical socket." -(both laugh)
-He steal your heart -a little bit?
-Kind of, yeah. Kind of pulled at those
little heartstrings <i> that I try to pretend
I don't have.</i> (siren wailing) 3220, Touro. <i> This chair is all (bleep) up</i> <i> from where it's gonna be
when you drive.</i> Usually try to get it together. I don't know if that's
how you like it or not. Oh, it don't matter. I'm gonna
wind up adjusting it... Yeah, you're gonna
(bleep) it up anyway. It do look like you're sitting
straight up, though. That's the problem
with having a tall, slim, good-looking dude and a short,
fat dude in a truck together. I know, man.
But my woman say she loves a little... a man
she can sink her arms around. Well, you know
what they say about... men that look thicker. (laughs):
What do they say? Shade in the summer
and heat in the winter. (laughs) DAN: Whoa, they got
a lot of people out here. 3220 on scene. TITUS:
What's going on, my man? You suffer from seizures? Okay. We got you, brother. I ain't
gonna let nothing happen. (man coughing) -Have a seat right there.
-You had a heart attack before? All right. You think it's the same problem right now?
All right, we got you. Are you having chest pain
right now? All right. How long ago was
the last heart attack? -Month ago?
-About a month ago? TITUS:<i> He was like,
"I had a heart attack,</i> and it feels like
I'm having that same pain." <i> The call is now going from
a routine seizure call to</i> this is a old (bleep).
We need to go. All right, we got you. How long you been feeling bad? -Half an hour?
-Half an hour? TITUS:
Okay, I got you. All right, real still.
Don't talk or move, okay? <i> And your heart rate, ideally,
should be between 60 and 100.</i> <i> His heart rate was actually</i> <i> only about
19, 20 beats a minute.</i> <i> That's real bad.</i> Looks funky. Very. (labored breathing) -I'm sorry, brother,
got to do it. -(yelling) -Try not to move.
-Don't move, -don't move, don't move.
-Don't move. We got it. DAN:<i> Because the electrical part
of his heart's</i> <i> not working correctly, we went
and put pacer pads on him,</i> <i> you know, to try
to provide that electricity</i> <i> with the heart monitor we use.</i> TITUS: All right, my man, look,
we gonna take care of you, bro. DAN:
I'm having to use the electricity in that monitor
to make your heart beat, okay? Show us Code 3 to University. DAN:<i> I'm sorry,
I know it's uncomfortable,</i> but I can't have
your heart stop, okay? <i> His heart is really close
to just not working anymore.</i> Wake up. Wake up for me. DAN:<i>
I'm having to use</i> the electricity in that monitor to make your heart beat, okay? It's gonna be
a little uncomfortable. I'm not gonna lie to you. This is definitely
a time-sensitive case. His heart is really close
to just not working anymore. I'm sorry, but I can't have
your heart stop, okay? <i> Because the electrical part
of his heart's</i> <i> not working correctly,
we're gonna provide</i> <i> that electricity
with the heart monitor we use</i> <i> to make his heart beat
the normal amount a minute.</i> Big stick in your hand. I know you're jumping,
but try not to pull away from the needle stick.
We'll give you some medicine to take the edge
off just a little bit, okay? You're doing great.
You're doing such a good job. <i> En route to you
with an approximately</i> <i> 50-year-old gentleman.</i> It looks like he's an A-fib with
a very low ventricular rate. <i> To me, the exciting part is
we found the cause.</i> And it's even more exciting
when you realize you have something
that you can fix it with. <i> We're pulling up
at the hospital,</i> -okay, buddy?<i>
-He was dying.</i> <i> If they wouldn't
have called 911,</i> he definitely would not
have made it through the night. <i> His heart was really close
to failing.</i> Just stay
right where are you, okay? -We're gonna take you inside.
-TITUS: What you got it up to? -80.
-Good job, Dan, bro. DAN: All right,
well, going inside, okay? TITUS:<i>
Dan is more than</i> a competent paramedic;
he taught me everything I know. <i> And if that guy wanted
any paramedic in the back,</i> Dan Flynn was the person. TITUS:
It's amazing, bruh, me and you have been working
together for so long, I can just read your face. When I saw that 12-lead
come out, you just went straight, clear text--
"It looks funky." -It did.
-I was like, yup. And I was trying
not to trip about it, but I was kind-- I was like, you know what,
this dude's in trouble. Dude, if you wouldn't have
started pacing and done what you done, that man probably wouldn't be able to see
his family tomorrow, so... -you did all right, pimp.<i>
-We</i> did. Oh, it's a "we"? DAN:<i>
It's always a "we."</i> We're coming, we're coming. (siren wailing) BRIDGES:<i>
We're conducting patrols</i> <i> in the Lower Ninth Ward,
and Ladarius calls us</i> <i> over the radio that he needs
assistance with a subject,</i> <i> with possible narcotics.</i> You're under arrest. -What's up?
-He got coke in his car. Hold him. He sees me coming. -I shined my light.
-Face right there. See it right
in the door handle, bruh, like, straight in plain view. I'm like, man,
this can't be this easy. I understand that, so you
got it prepackaged like that? -You-you found it?
-Yes, sir. So how you know... So what is it, then? So you bought baking soda? Or you selling it?
Where you selling it at? Where you found it at? BRIDGES:<i>
Story seems a little</i> <i> farfetched,
especially after running</i> <i> a name check of the person</i> and seeing that
he was once incarcerated. Probation or parole? Yeah, you. For? For? Of? MAN:
What's up? So you tasted
a unknown substance, to you? Well, there's a hamburger
on the ground. You want it? Lick it. So if I find something
on the ground, you gonna taste it right now
to find out what it is? Basically,
that's what it sound like. You found this on the ground,
and you just taste everything. Okay. You got kids? How old is he? She's nine?
Would you let your nine-year-old just pick up something
and just put it in her mouth? So why would you do it? We test the suspected substance, <i> and it turns out
that it's not cocaine.</i> You know this is sent
to your parole officer? It's a bad look for you. Okay, you can stop with that. I don't want to hear that
no more. You repeated that
too many times. It's completely unbelievable. -(laughing)
-Throw that (bleep) away. BRIDGES:<i> The street term
for fake narcotics is "bunk."</i> <i> There's still a charge</i> for the possession of bunk. You know you could be going
to jail right now, right? <i> But the decision was made
to release the individual.</i> -Go home to your daughter, man.
-Yes, sir. So, we're going
to unknown age female shot in a gas station. We're about two minutes out. -LANDON: Where you going, girl?
-I know where I'm going. -It's that way.
-I'm just gonna go to... I mean, I'll pull over. (laughing) "I will pull
this ambulance over, -right now!"
-I'll totally do that. LANDON:
PD is on scene. <i> So, we pull up on scene.</i> <i>There's a woman inside the car,
and she has a gunshot wound.</i> (over radio):
Ed, get the stretcher. -Okay. -WOMAN:
Couple of boys around there went and they had guns,
so they pulled their guns out, and after they
pulled the gun out, that's when
they started shooting. LANDON:<i> Two people
were shooting at each other.</i> She happened to get
in the crossfire, and it went into her car
and hit her leg. (woman groaning) Oh, oh, oh. -(groans)
-KEELEY: I know, baby, I know. LANDON: There we go.
We're done moving. BROOKE: We're gonna take
good care of you, okay? LANDON: We're gonna run you up
to University, okay? All right, my darling. Are you allergic
to anything, baby? LANDON: Just that
one entrance at the top? -It's through and through.
-Okay. Okay. Baby, I'm gonna give you some pain medicine
through this I.V., okay? -Okay.
-You start getting nauseated, you let me know--
I got something for that, too. It's gonna make a big difference
to us as to whether or not you can really move
your toes, babe. Can you just try? Okay. LANDON:<i>
She can't move her foot.</i> Obviously, there's some
structural damage with the bone. <i> We're looking to see
if the nerves are intact,</i> <i> because if it damaged
the nerves,</i> that can be
a whole nother set of problems. I'm not gonna touch hard.
Can you feel this? to us as to whether or not e you can really move
your toes, babe. We've got a female
shot in the ankle. <i> She's in pain.
You can feel deformity</i> <i> in that ankle.</i> You can feel the bones moving. <i> She can't necessarily
move her toes.</i> That's not good. LANDON:<i>
I'm not gonna touch hard.</i> <i> -Can you feel this?</i>
-(woman groaning) BROKE: We like that you can
feel it, baby, okay? That's good, all right? LANDON:<i>
She does have a pulse.</i> There's blood flow
going down there. And she also has sensation. So there's--
you know, the nerves <i> are intact,
so this is all good news.</i> We're gonna splint it
so that we immobilize it, and it's gonna feel 100% better once we get it still,
okay, baby? You're being a trouper;
you're doing awesome. KEELEY:
She's still got a good pulse. BROOKE:
139 on your... I'm gonna roll out, Landon.
You ready? LANDON:
Let's hit the road. -(siren wailing)
-So, what happened, darling? Do you know who shot at you? You think they were shooting
at you, or you just, like, got in the way
of something else? Okay. Yeah. You just got hit once,
and it went all the way through. So they're not gonna have
to remove anything. But it probably broke
some bones in there. Okay? <i> It looks like
she shattered her ankle.</i> There's gonna be
multiple surgeries. This is gonna be
a long healing process for her. How's your foot feeling? If it was a ten earlier,
what's it now? Just hurts? Yeah, it's still gonna hurt. I'm sorry, honey. DISPATCHER:<i>

let me take you to the hospital. As much as I don't want
to tell you this. I can't force you
to go to the hospital. If we don't,
you can get blood clots, blood clots can lead to strokes, all of that can lead to
a terrible ending. I can take you to the hospital

for a little bit? You ready? That wasn't too, too bad,
was it? (Arkady laughs) ARKADY:<i>
Even though their vacation's</i> <i> starting off in a hospital,</i> <i> hopefully,
Ted and I showed them</i> <i> how hospitable we can be
around here, and how much</i> New Orleans cares
about its visitors. (siren wailing) (siren wailing) Got a, uh, 52-F. Sounds like there's
a vehicle on fire. We got to get there
and help, uh, secure the scene. 'Cause definitely,
if that car goes to blow, uh, there's chain explosions; you
don't want something to go up while people are sitting there
people watching. (explosion) <i> Boom! The whole car on fire,
and it explodes,</i> <i> and virtually
right when we roll up.</i> Hey, I need the cars out the way so we can get
the fire trucks in here! Hey, get this car out the way! Hey, anybody else in this house? Back up! Back up! <i> -The first thing I'm thinking</i>! <i> in my head is
we got to secure this scene.</i> <i> Getting folks out of the area.
Get them at a safe distance.</i> -Everybody out?
-(indistinct radio chatter) I got it, I got it, I got it. Hey, bro, if that goes, it's gonna be bad.
Where you stay at? All right. Hey, go inside! Close your door! -That's your car?
-Yes, sir. I don't even really know
what caused it. -Was it coming from underneath?
Was it... -Yeah, underneath, when I raised the hood up,
'cause I seen the smoke when I stopped right there,
and I raised the hood up, and I looked. I see, uh, something wrong,
there's smoke. MARTY:<i> Luckily,
there were no injuries,</i> <i> and everybody was safe.</i> You got any gloves
you could put on just in case
this stuff's still hot? I got some in my pocket
if you need them. <i> When stuff like this happens,</i> <i> you want the, uh,
community to feel like</i> <i> that the fire department and
the police department showed up</i> and did their job and was
concerned about them, first and foremost. All right, just keep the door
closed, all right? Until they all, all secure. Hey, Cap, anything else from us? -All right, man.
-All right, man. We'll see you later, Cap.
All right. ARKADY: A male got
on the phone with EMS, and stated that the child
was playing and had a fall and possibly hit his head. Caller states he picked the male
up and brought him inside. He is awake and breathing. Okay. (siren wailing) It should be this one. TED:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, dog. -ARKADY: Go, little puppy.
-TED: Little puppy is probably following its owner,
almost got hit. Where'd he go?
Where'd the dog go? Uh, I don't see the dog-- -Oh, it's over there.
-Okay. ARKADY:
But this little kid-- hold on, 'cause the kid just crossed
the street. -TED: Yeah.
-(dog barking) It's gonna be this end house
on the corner. Hey, you okay? Yeah? What's up, guys? Hey, how you doing? ARKADY:<i>
Friends and family members said</i> he was out playing football, <i> he fell,
and that they're not sure</i> what he struck his head on,
but that he struck his head. You want us to take him up
to the hospital, my baby? All right,
are you coming with us? -TED: (groans) Come on, my man.
-ARKADY: Okay. ARKADY:<i> His brother,
he just got back from college.</i> <i> This was his first time
watching him, so he definitely</i> was very, very concerned. TED:
All right, Lorenzo. Put some stickers on you, okay? But you're not even gonna feel
the stickers, okay, man? ARKADY:
Okay. Here, baby. You hold this. -If you're gonna throw up...
-Okay, keep your arm down. ...throw up
in there for me, okay? Keep this arm down for me,
Lorenzo. (retching) TED:<i> During this time,
he starts throwing up,</i> <i>which changes the call, because
somebody had hit their head</i> <i> and lost consciousness
is one thing,</i> <i> but now that he's throwing up,
it kind of takes it</i> to a little higher level,
a little more urgency involved in the call. You all right? No.
You think that was it? Yeah, okay. (retching) ARKADY:<i>
So now I'm gonna start an I.V.</i> <i> in case he does continue
to vomit.</i> Then I can give him medication to help calm his nausea
and vomiting. Is he allergic to anything
you know? Okay. Have you ever had
an I.V. before, baby? Yeah? Okay, so you know what
it's gonna fell like, huh? -Real quick pinch, okay?
-TED: Nice little vein. Lorenzo, how old are you, buddy? -Look at me. Talk to me.
-ARKADY: Ready? How old are you? Ten? You're a good size for ten, bud. ARKADY:
You are such a little man. TED: I'm telling you, man,
you're the champ. ARKADY: You did better
than most adults do. TED:
Oh, I'm telling you. -ARKADY: Your head?
-TED: Your head hurt? Yeah. ARKADY:
Where you hit it, huh? Right here? Everywhere? Yeah, okay. TED: I mean, well, you can get
back here so you can watch him. That's okay. Here, you want
to lean back some? Yeah? Just let me know
if you feel like you're gonna throw up again. ARKADY:
Yeah. That's an old wives' tale. (laughs) ARKADY:<i>
He wanted to take a nap,</i> <i> he can absolutely take a nap.</i> <i> The things you need to be
concerned about</i> <i> are if the person
starts talking</i> <i> and not making any sense,
if they're confused,</i> if they get combative. <i> Other than that,
keep him comfortable,</i> <i> bring him on up to
the hospital, get checked out.</i> Well, he's a little trouper,
I can tell you that. (siren wailing) HOLLY:<i>
Sweet potatoes.</i> -Nick.
-NICK: I love them. I just want to eat them
all the time. I do eat them all the time. That's one of the few carbs
I regularly eat. They're really good for you. I'm trying to, like,
not overdo it, 'cause, I mean,
it's still potatoes. You can't overdo it, really,
to be honest with you. It breaks down a lot faster
than a regular potato does, as far as carbs go. -They're damn delicious.
-All right. -You can eat it with anything.
-Right. Those and beets.
Like, I cannot get enough beets. -I just want all the beets.
-(Nick laughs) DISPATCHER:
3232. HOLLY: It says the male's
just laying in the street, not moving. <i> Nick and I get dispatched</i> <i> to a male struck
while riding his motorcycle.</i> <i> And when we hear these,
it's usually pretty bad.</i> <i> My brain kicks into high gear
and I'm thinking,</i> okay, this is definitely
a critical patient. NICK:
3232. DISPATCHER:
32-304. -NICK: 3232.
-DISPATCHER: 32-304. HOLLY:<i> A male struck
while riding his motorcycle.</i> It's usually pretty bad. <i> But once I step
out of the truck,</i> <i> I actually don't see
any visible signs of trauma.</i> <i> And then I notice</i> that he's got his cell phone
in his hand. HOLLY:<i>
Anytime you can have</i> your cell phone in your hand
and you're calling people, <i> that lets me know
you're all right.</i> You ain't dead
and you ain't dying. (horn honks) Hold on! KEELEY:<i>
We've had a significant rise</i> in Pokémon related injuries. All right, the most
important question that we're gonna
ask you tonight-- Be as honest as possible. Did you get any rare Pokémons? (laughs):
Keeley, get out. <i> Everyone knows how much
I hate this game.</i> <i> It doesn't matter
if you're on a bike</i> <i> or walking or whatever,

We've all had a long summer,</i> <i> we've all run
a lot of rough calls.</i> <i> So I invited everybody out</i> <i> to my in-laws' camp to have
a good time, have a drink,</i> <i> and kind of just unwind
a little bit.</i> You already eating over here? Hey, you know
how long that ride was. Give me a bite of that.
I need a bite of that. TITUS:<i> It's good to see them
outside of work,</i> <i> so we can just chop it up,</i> <i> and we can just be friends
without the job,</i> <i> don't have all that
responsibilities</i> <i> on your shoulders,</i> <i> and just be normal
like everyone else.</i> TED: Titus, I got to tell you,
my hat is off to you because you work full-time, you had a kid, and you still
went to school, dude. -Yep.
-That is fricking awesome. -HOLLY: Here's to Titus.
-TED: Titus. -HOLLY: To Titus!
-(laughter) DAN:<i> You know, I'm proud of
what Titus has become</i> <i> over the last couple years.</i> <i> You know, as my brother,
I feel very proud of him.</i> <i> He took the initiative
to go to paramedic school,</i> he studied hard,
he passed the test, he did what he needed to do
for himself and his family. And that's something
to be proud of. TITUS:
You been paramedic a while. At what p-point
that you be like, "All right, cool,
like, all right, whatever. Like, I know
I-I can handle this." Like, if you don't get
nervous sometimes, there's something wrong. Well, I'm gonna tell you,
once you get comfortable, it's like riding a motorcycle,
I always tell everybody. Once you get comfortable,
that's when you crash and burn. HOLLY:<i> I think people in EMS
have a very special bond</i> <i> that other places don't have,</i> <i> outside of, you know,
maybe people in the army.</i> <i> We do things
and see things together</i> <i> that other people just don't.</i> <i> And at times,</i> you normally run to your family, your mom, your dad,
your brother, your sister. There are times for us where
we can only run to each other, because we're the only ones
that understand. TITUS: Oh, look, man,
this is to not killing anybody. Yeah! In cardiology, huh? -(laughter)
-Not killing anybody. -DAN: And let's go
have some fun. -Yes. HOLLY:<i> Being an EMS,
it's not just a job.</i> We sacrifice a lot
to care for the public. You know, we miss a lot of
things in our personal lives to be a paramedic,
but it's worth it. One, two, three, hut! (laughing) HOLLY:
There you go, T! -Oh!
-(laughter) TITUS:<i> The job, man-- look,
I'm helping somebody every day.</i> <i> We see people

What you talking about? No, no, no, no, no! (excited chatter) DAN:<i> We all have these great
calls we like to brag about,</i> <i> and we all have

what brings us all together and that make us one. Even though we may not know it, we may not talk about it,
it really makes us a family, and that's what keeps us strong
