ANNOUNCER: Tonight on Nightwatch... -RUSH: He lost consciousness? -Yeah. All right, buddy, this part's gonna suck. No, no, no. It's okay. Kevin, I'm-- I see you right there. It's the police. You got three seconds to open it, or we're gonna kick it, we're gonna kick it. ANNOUNCER: In the city of Tampa, there are as many as 850 emergency calls every night. These are the stories of the heroes who risk their lives to answer those calls-- police officers... paramedics... and firefighters. This is Nightwatch. STOKES: There's nothing easy about what we do... but we love the city of Tampa and we love our job. Think about it. Every call we take, we're helping someone's mom or dad, someone's son or daughter. Someone's everything. So we know how much every call matters and we love the challenge. DISPATCHER: Engine 20, vehicle accident. Bruce B Downs and Tampa Palms, 2140 hours. DISPATCHER 2: 220, transporting to St. Joseph's. DISPATCHER 1: Requesting airlift confirmed by station. The airlift's been canceled. (alarm ringing) STOKES: Rescue 4's responding. 38-year-old female fainted, don't know if she's awake or not. Calls for fainting, unconscious, we get those all the time. We got an engine going with us, too. That's good, 'cause they'll get there a lot quicker traveling the road. STOKES: Depending upon the situation, you could have someone who just passed out from the heat. Then again, you could have someone who said they fainted but they're in cardiac arrest. So we're just preparing ourselves for anything. I need a shower, bad, I need a shower. I was about in the process, too. Oh, you should have let me know, we could do it together. Okay. Yeah. Ha! Rescue 4 on scene. What's going on? STOKES: Arriving on scene, we find a lady who's very weak, very lethargic, not acting normal. Okay. Okay, we're gonna take her to the hospital. Let's go this way. DOUG: We learn that she had a car accident a couple of years ago, with a brain injury and she's had strokes ever since. -She's got a line? -Yeah. Oh, okay, cool. We're gonna do everything. STOKES: We want to go through what we call a "stroke assessment." Find out if we have any deficits or weakness. Squeeze my hand. Come on, squeeze. Huh? You have a headache? Look at me. Don't look away. That's what we were talking about. Little bit more, little bit more. Squeeze. Both, squeeze hard. Squeeze. Let's get a driver and get-get out of here. Let's go. This patient appears to be having a stroke, which means we have a short period of time before the symptoms that she's having become permanent. (siren wails) Sweetheart, listen. Lift your right leg. Hold it there. Hold it, hold it. Lift it up for her. Hold it. No? Okay. Yeah. We'll call a stroke alert. We're gonna go to Tampa General. Most important thing we can do is alert the hospital, so that the stroke team is ready when we get there. Hey, it's 10-4, Rescue 4. I got a 38-year-old female, fainted. Complaining of a headache. Has a history of blood clots. DOUG: When it comes to a stroke alert, there's only a few things we can really do for the patient. The main thing is getting them ready for the hospital and get them in that CT scan. Has left side deficit. May have a little left side facial droop, also. DOUG: With strokes, seconds matter. The whole time we're transporting them, they could be under a bleed, or a clot. And part of their brain has suffered damage the entire time. Hold on, ma'am, okay? We're almost at the hospital. STOKES: So they don't know if she had a stroke or not. She does not have a bleed. -But history of clots. -History of clots. This patient's really young. She has kids that depend on her. Calls like this make you think that you're not invincible as a parent, that you are vulnerable, things can happen. Hopefully, she'll be all right. If she has clots, I mean, she got there early. -Vitals were good, though. -Vitals were good. -But symptomatic. -So... STOKES: You know, you begin to realize how important you are to your children, and not being able to take care of them is a very difficult situation. (thunder rumbles) PIERRE: Jerry, you ready for the night? JERRY: Mm-hmm. PIERRE: Good. Where you headed? -Nebraska? -Other way. -MAN: Okay. -PIERRE: Other way. Get rid of the beer, man. He walking, trying to find Nebraska. He's gonna get hit. Southbound on 50th. PIERRE: Air service is following a car that fled from a traffic stop, so we're trying to hurry up and get in the area so we can assist and try to catch him. Going into the county. JERRY: This SUV is driving out of Tampa city limits, into the county, where we have no arrest powers. It's the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department's territory. But because this car committed a crime in our city tonight, we get to go out and get him in the county. He's gonna go east on Palm River Road. Do you know where that is? Palm River Road? -Yeah. -Hopefully we catch it in time, before they park. As we're shadowing a car, all these things are running through your head. Why are they running? Do they have warrants? Do they have guns? Did they just kill somebody? You have no idea, so you can only be prepared for the worst. MARK: I'd say right about 60 miles an hour. MARK: Absolutely not, and he's turning into a residential area just on the far side of 75. Stand by for the bail. Yeah, he's, uh, out of the car and headed behind the buildings here. So, units, come on in. (engine revs) Now they're aware of the helicopter. But I think they're trying to hide from us. JERRY: We're not there yet, and we hear the door is open and they're running, so it's very important for us to hurry up and get on scene, to catch these guys before they disappear. MARK: Sticking with this one, he's one of the hardest. JERRY: They can disappear in seconds and it's game over for us. Turn right, right here. MARK: Be advised, we do not know who driver is, at this point. JERRY: We're pulling up to the scene where the car bailed. I look to the right, I look at a guy wearing all white, and I'm like, "Huh, that's kind of weird. He's walking." (chuckles) We just passed him. We make a U-turn. DISPATCHER: The vehicle is south. PIERRE: What's up, man? You got any weapons or anything on you, sir? All right, sir, go ahead and drop the cup. We're 10-15 with the guy wearing all white, detaining him right here. You was in the car that was stopped. You here, west of Bubba's? All right. So, you think we just picked you out of the bunch? All right, that's fine. He got a warrant for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. JERRY: Even though we're not sure if he was driving the car or not, he has a warrant, so we have a chance to hold onto him to figure out what's going on. MARK: One coming out. They're with K-9, they got some guys in the bushes at gunpoint over there. MARK: It may just be one. A third occupant was able to escape, but a female passenger was not as lucky. Ma'am... and you said you know him? I got you. Mm-hmm. She's telling us they're on their way to do a threesome tonight, but she has no idea who these guys are. She won't give us anything else. And he was driving? Thank you. Unfortunately, we'll never be able to prove he was driving, so, we let the female go, she gets no charges. The guy is going to jail for the warrant, so it does feel good to catch somebody with an open warrant. It's not a total loss for us tonight. That guy was driving a little fast; that was fun. -I saw 120... -That was fun. ...and they almost got away with it. I'm sure they were smoking weed. The guy that ran by had weed on him. So he picked her up to get some from her. They were gonna probably have a threesome or something, but then we interrupted his threesome. (laughs) (crickets chirping) (over radio): There's a white car that's made the block at least twice now. -What the hell's going on? -Is it a newer car? There's a white... (continues indistinctly) (over radio): I can't tell -what kind of car it is, but... -Ha-ha-ha! -I need to grow my hair out. -(indistinct radio transmission) 10-4. (laughing) (indistinct radio transmission) WILL: That's trippy. Look at me with that hair! Dude, you look so crazy bald. (laughs) All right. -DIMITRI: Are we G2G? -Yeah. This young man driving a little fast, or what? Yeah, he is. Yeah, we're moving. Yeah, it's gonna be a rental. -(computer beeps) -Stolen. -Oh, (bleep), unreturned rental, stolen. -Put your window up. -393. DISPATCHER: 393? We're westbound on Hillsborough behind a signal 10. WILL: Because it's a rental car, we have no idea who's driving. And that poses, you know, a number of possible dangers, because they could be a seriously wanted felon, or they could be someone with a history -of firearms offenses. -Get some more units headed this way. We'll try to stop it. We might be able to box it in. WILL: The car's a moving target. We don't want to rush our box-in, and we want to make sure we have enough manpower to do it successfully. Inside lane, still westbound. He's going into the middle lane right now. -He's gonna take off. -(bleep) -Oh, we got three. -Come on, let's do it. (sirens blaring) -Put your hands up! Hands in the air! -Hands up! He's going into the middle lane right now. Inside lane, still westbound. WILL: Mit and I are behind a stolen rental car, and other units are closing in on our location. -Oh, we got three. -Come on, let's do it. (tires screech) All right. -Put your hands up! Hands in the air! -Hands up! -Hands in the air! -Hands in the air! Watch your crossfire. -Get out. -Hands in the air. Get on the ground, get on the ground, get on your stomach. On your stomach. Hands behind your back. You're in a stolen car, brother. All I know, it's stolen, so we're gonna figure it out, so relax. Where's your I.D.? Is it in your pocket? I'll grab it, I'll grab it. Calm down, we're gonna figure it out. -Shh. Let me talk. -Okay. When I run your tag, it says "stolen vehicle." That's all I got to go on. All right, we'll figure it out, brother. Let me put it in my computer real quick. Stand by. When we're talking to him, I can't tell if he's being truthful or if he's lying. We're gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. We're gonna run his name and make sure he has no warrants. DIMITRI: Our driver, he's got a auto burglary, grand theft, fraudulent use of credit cards. But no warrants. -(chuckles): Oh. Fresh chicken fingers -What? on the ground, buddy. That's a travesty. There's nothing in here. DIMITRI: We search the car and find nothing that suggests there was any other criminal activity going on. Here's what I'm trying to figure out. Why do you still have this vehicle? WILL: That doesn't matter. DIMITRI: But if you can't pay anymore, you gotta give it back. You've had the car way longer than you should have, and you know that. All right, buddy, here's the deal, all right? Based on what you said, I'm gonna give you a break on that, and I'm not gonna charge you with stealing a car. I'm gonna charge you with one count of not returning rental property, and that'll be the end of it. And I hope you learn a lesson, you know what I'm saying? All right, thank you, sir. WILL: We cut the driver a break because his story seemed highly likely that he had been in contact with the rental car company, and to an agreement of how he was gonna handle payments. He just didn't stick to that plan. DOUG: There's my girl right there. Oh, God. Little Mama. What's up, Little Mama? -Tell her we're... -Huh? Ten bucks? I don't have any money. DOUG: She's laughing. STOKES: Little Mama, she's a local who can almost always be found on 7th Avenue. Hey, you doing all right? You behaving yourself? You being good? Yeah? She's one of those people you just try to help. Try to give her a couple dollars here and there. Encourage her to stay out of trouble. You're safe, you're doing good? You got a place to stay the night? Yeah? Well, listen, we got to get out of here. You behave yourself, okay? And be safe, all right? Behave yourself, okay? Just kind of somebody that we've adopted. STOKES: I can't help but love her. DOUG: She goes, "Hey, I need ten dollars." -I know. - I go, "What?" She goes, "Or at least five." (Stokes laughing) Rescue 4. STOKES: Uh-oh. We're already on 7th Avenue when we receive a call for a 48-year-old female at a club here in Ybor City, possibly unconscious. STOKES: Rescue 4 is on the scene. DOUG: Hi, how are you? MAN: Standing here, said, "I think I'm gonna pass out." Started breathing fast. She's awake, she's pale, a little diaphoretic. Seems a little disoriented. -STOKES: What do we got there? -DOUG: 73/47. STOKES: Low blood pressure. MAN: She has been seeing a doctor for a thyroid issue. She had two beers. Two beers wouldn't be an issue. -No. -Right. DOUG: Oh, yeah. 'Cause your blood pressure's very low. Anytime that you have a patient faint, there could be an underlying cardiac issue. STOKES: Let us get a little bit of fluid in you, okay? We want to run an EKG on her, get IV access and give her some fluids. Hopefully bring up her blood pressure. STOKES: When's the last time you ate? You just ate here? Did you eat anything that's unusual for you? Okay. Here's the good news: you have a heartbeat. It's there. STOKES: She's starting to come back to normal. Her pulse rate's up a little bit, her blood pressure's coming up a little bit. She's no longer sweating. STOKES: I know what you're thinking right now. You're thinking, "Why do I need to go to the hospital?" -Yes. -What happened is not a normal occurrence. What we need to do is figure out why it happened and make sure that it wasn't a underlying cardiac problem. STOKES: Date night? Man! Was it... was it good? Okay. Okay. Kind of seemed that way. (laughs) I need a date night. All right, man. -What is this? -Happy birthday. You guys didn't have to do that. RUSH: When you become a fireman, you know you're going to miss Christmases, holidays, birthdays. Come on, get the birthday licks. One, two, three, four. RUSH: It's part of the job. We don't close down, we have to be open, and we have to work. Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. -Very nice. -Oh, yeah, baby. RUTLEDGE: I'm not sure how old he is. I think he's keeping that a secret. But with our job being so demanding, any time we get a chance to celebrate, we're gonna go ahead and do so. That was very nice, guys, thank you. -(alarm bell ringing) -Uh-oh. Uh-oh, uh-oh! Might be something good. Acknowledge. Responding from 30th and Fowler. This is a man behind the wheel, not alert. TPD's on scene. Well, we'll see how bad it is when we get close. RUTLEDGE: MVAs can be some of the worst calls that we go on. The injuries can vary from a couple bumps, bruises to heavy trauma. So you never know what you'll get with an MVA. -Grab the backboard on your way out. -Okay. No, no, no, no. -Stay where you're at. -Who's that, Engine 11? I don't know. Now everybody always want to jump calls, and they get there and they just get all in the way. RUSH: Shoot. He was wearing a seat belt. RUTLEDGE: Rush and I arrive on scene of a motor vehicle accident, and it's chaos. (groaning) RUSH: When we hear "lost consciousness," that sends all sorts of red flags up. Hey, partner, do you know where you are? -Like, what city? -(groans) I don't know if he's got a head injury. And the fact that he has foam coming out of his mouth means it could be something with diabetes or maybe he had a seizure. Can he follow commands and everything? Go ahead, put him on a backboard. Anything hurt on you besides your chest? Let's go! You first. One, two... (creaking) All right. That should be good. All right, buddy, so I'm not gonna lie to you. You can hear me? This part's gonna suck, 'cause I know you're not feeling good. We're gonna slide this back... I know. We're gonna slide this backboard underneath your butt, and we're gonna lay you down, okay? -Just let us do the work. -It's really important that we make sure that his C-spine is in line and unprovoked. This is the part that sucks, buddy. Oh. -Good job, buddy. I know, it hurts. -I don't want to manipulate him in any which way that can cause more harm. Just gonna take a look, partner. (groaning) Sorry, buddy. I'm not trying to hurt you. No? Okay. He's saying it's just his chest that's hurting. The patient has feeling in all of his limbs. He's able to squeeze my hand, move his legs up and down. Let's get you over to the hospital, partner. The patient's chief complaint is that his chest hurts. It could very well be just from the air bag. But we don't want to take any chances when it comes to chest pain. (siren wailing) You don't have pain anywhere but your chest, right? Killing you. When you say your chest, you're talking about here, right? Yeah. That's probably just from the steering wheel, partner. Take a deep breath if you can. Does that hurt when you take a deep breath like that? Lung sounds is always an important one, because if you break a rib and it punctures a lung, it can be very serious. Your lungs sound good, buddy, okay? Which is a good thing; it means your ribs didn't puncture them or anything like that. I don't see it swollen. They'll do some X rays, make sure everything's good. RUSH: The good thing is, it's just your chest that's hurting; it doesn't look like anything is deformed. Lung sounds are good, vitals are great. I don't see any broken bones anywhere. RUSH: This is just for me, it's not for the cops or anything like that, but you been drinking tonight? Just a couple, like, could be, like, two, four? Three beers. All right. RUSH: We're pulling up, buddy. Help me get you out of here. RUSH: I don't know. I was, I was kind of baffled by that one. -Yeah. -His blood alcohol was over 0.2, and he had (bleep) in his system. RUTLEDGE (groaning): Oh, man. RUSH: He had told me he had a couple beers, 'cause I could smell it on him. But pulled the wool over my eyes, because that would make it a reason why his chest hurt. Chest pain, (bleep), and the accident, the adrenaline popping his heart rate up higher than it should go. -Oh, yeah, that's bad. -Yeah. ROBB: Hey, we're headed back to that location... You're on E Main. -Oh... -(beeping) Aw, dog it, I hate that. -DISPATCHER: What are you guys doing? -Disregard. (laughs) Wait, wait, wait. That's why I hate scan. They're gonna type me a message. All the dispatchers are like, "Ha..." That is pretty funny. "You're getting old." I guess you guys heard me on E Main? DISPATCHER: Oh... -(giggles) -ROBB: Smart. Hey, come over to Cruise-A-Cade real quick. We're gonna hit this warrant. Where are we going? To meet...? Jake and Dave have a warrant for a burglary suspect. ROBB: We've been working undercover for several weeks, trying to get a burglary suspect to sell us some stolen items on OfferUp. But the sale kept falling through. DAVID: All right, guys. That burglary, where we're trying to do the deal and buy the stolen stuff -from the OfferUp. -ROBB: Yeah. DAVID: The stuff that was stolen in that burglary-- it was, like, a couple TVs and a guitar-- was actually pawned at the pawnshop on Kennedy. BETHANY: The suspect made a big mistake, because all the pawnshops are required to get a name and address for everyone they deal with. DAVID: The guy that pawned it, they issued a warrant for him for the burglary and grand theft, so we're gonna go over there, try to pick him up on that warrant. JAKE: He has a carrying a concealed firearm charge. He's also in there as being a registered, known gang member. We can't say definitively, but he does match the description and the lookf somebody -in surveillance video. -Gotcha. ROBB: So we'll ride by there, try to grab this guy real quick. ROBB: We're responding to the suspect's house. We want to catch him off guard. We want to be ready, just in case he does anything stupid. I'm not sure which one it's gonna be. This place is like a... maze. Probably all the way down, huh? BETHANY: As we pull up to the apartment complex, we're trying to find his building, but it's pretty difficult, because of the way the apartments are set up. None of these make sense. I have no idea. They might have the address from him. Does anybody else know this place better? I'm gonna just go in the first building. ROBB: We're looking around in the apartment complex, and a young lady asked who we're looking for. I don't take her up on it, because I don't want word to get out that we are looking for this guy. -BETHANY: No. -CHILD: Hi. Hi. This is the most complicated little place -I've ever visited. -Yeah. BETHANY: How the heck...? ROBB: Oh, geez. ROBB: As we're heading to the right building, this lady tells me that her son really likes the police, which is something we don't hear very often. How old are you, buddy? Five? What's he play? ROBB: You're gonna run the ball? You fast? Hey, I want to give you this, real quick, for being good and for playing football. -WOMAN: Oh, look! -ROBB: All right? ROBB: I gave him one of the junior police badges because he really likes the police, and I wanted him to feel important. ROBB: Put that on your shirt when you get home. All right, buddy, I'm counting on you, okay? All right. ROBB: I always try to spend time with the kids, 'cause I want them to see us as good examples. ROBB: Is there any lights on? We find the right apartment, and I go around and peek into the window to see if I can see the subject. Someone's on the couch. Knock on the door. (knocking on door) -(beeps) -Knock on it again. ROBB: Hey, we're gonna kick the door in if you don't open it. It's the police, open the door. I see you right there! You got three seconds to open it or we're gonna kick it. the door. -ROBB: Hey, we're gonna kick the door in if you don't open it. It's the police, open the door. ROBB: We're executing warrants for burglary and defrauding a pawnbroker. ROBB: I see you, right there! I can see the suspect inside, but he won't open the door. You got three seconds to open it or we're gonna kick it. One! We're gonna kick it. You were online, selling a bunch of stolen stuff, and then you went to the pawnbroker, and you sold some stuff that were stolen that you took in a burglary, which you came back on... on your DNA. BETHANY: Oh! ROBB: Well, this is who we were looking for. As we're arresting the suspect, the lady and the son that we were talking to earlier, that we gave the badge to, come walking up to us. That's your sister? ROBB: It is hard to arrest people in front of family members. Let me talk to you, real quick, come here. ROBB: I take the suspect's sister and her children into the apartment, because I want to explain to them what's going on in private. And I don't want the little boy to see his uncle getting arrested. ROBB: He either did a burglary, or he pawned the stuff from the burglary, and the detectives want to talk to him. I'm just the officer that's in charge of coming and getting him when they get probable cause to arrest him. All right? I don't think there was any hard feelings. She knew, even though we had to arrest her brother, really we're just there to do our job. He wants to be on the force. ROBB: Remember what you said. You're gonna be good for your mom and play hard. You promised, right? We'll see you later. BETHANY: You can start thinking of whoever you bought those things from. It's gonna help you in the long run. Usually, if somebody sells something for way less than what it's worth, what can you assume? It's stolen. The suspect is being booked on two felonies. He could be facing some serious time for that. Hopefully, this will serve as a wakeup call, so he can be a better role model for that little boy. ROBB: The little kid was really nice. I worry about him. -Yep. -Because if you're raised in this environment, and no one breaks the cycle, they see that their mother and fathers, they see their older brothers and sisters, and they're out stealing and that's the only thing they know. And it doesn't seem wrong. And I've seen it for 21 years. (radio beeps) Oh. RUSH: Acknowledge. (siren wailing) RUSH: Rutledge is driving Engine 13 for the rest of the night, so Benny and I are closing out the shift together. Going to a 40-year-old male, history of seizure and fell and hit his head. Hopefully... hit it on a nice cushiony surface and not a table. Rescue 13. On scene. Backyard? Hey, buddy. What happened? Has he been talking to you yet? Just load him up. Got a seizure history and he obviously fell and whacked his head. I don't think we're gonna need a board right now, 'cause I don't think he's gonna tolerate it. He's still very postictal. RUSH: When a patient has a seizure, they usually have a postictal state, where they're not very alert. Just like firemen. Sometimes they can't speak. That seems to be what's going on with this patient. Hey, Kevin, you remember what happened? Kevin, I'm gonna put some oxygen on you, okay, buddy? It's just oxygen, partner. I'm gonna start an IV on you, okay? There's gonna be a big poke in your arm, okay? That hurts? No, I don't got anything. He has very poor veins. Sorry, buddy. It looks like he's a tough stick. We're trying to feel for 'em, but we're not having any luck. -Where to, LT? -Florida Hospital. You busted your head up pretty good. How 'bout we cut off this bloody shirt? You okay with that? You don't want to use it again. You want to leave that one on? It's all bloody. (siren wailing) Can I cut it? You don't need anything to put on, you're going to the hospital. No, no, no. It's okay. Kevin, I'm-- Kevin. RUSH: How 'bout we cut off this bloody shirt? Your shirt's all bloody. We have a seizure patient who's starting to come to, and he's becoming angry and combative. Kevin, it's okay, buddy. Go leave your shirt on. I'll leave your shirt on. It's okay. I'm not trying to make you mad, buddy. I'm trying to help you. How 'bout that IV? It's just me, I'm looking for a... I'm not. Look, I'm just looking for an IV, Kevin. I didn't hear that. I'm sorry. Hey, Kevin, I'm not gonna shoot for one unless I see it. I'm trying to save you some pain. Kevin? Can I take a look at your arm to start an IV? Okay. The patient's becoming unpredictable, so for his safety, stop trying to get an IV on him. So, the best thing I can do is get him to the hospital without making him more angry. All right, buddy, I'm gonna let you relax. I don't want to make you mad. BENNY: Rescue 13. DISPATCHER: Rescue 13. Arrive to hospital. RUSH: Thank you for flying Tampa Fire Rescue. BENNY: So, I really didn't get what was really going on on that last call. Was it a seizure or was he drinking? Well, he had a seizure history. They found him outside. He denies drinking anything. I didn't smell anything on him. But the fact that when we got there, he was kind of, like, leaned over and very slow to respond, and then, when we got him back here, he was very alert, obviously, looked like he was postictal at some... BENNY: Yeah, he was definitely postictal when we got on scene. But I will say, that was a heck of a lot of blood for a little, uh, scrape on his head. Like, it was all over his shirt. I couldn't find anything else. ROBB: So, you're single. Sort of. Oh, look at that. Sort of, huh? I mean, if you mean not married, then yes. The guy fixes one door in the house and he gets to stay, huh? I think he's painting my bathroom right now. I'm gonna have to talk to this guy. -(laughs) -He's already whupped. (laughs) BETHANY: Yeah, and it's listed as a FMR, taken by the owner's son. When a family member steals a car, we have to approach that differently than when an unknown person steals a car. ROBB: There's a Honda CR-V right there. How's that look? What's the tag on it? BETHANY: Gosh, that's it. ROBB: Hey, we got that FMR southbound on 40th. Being that we spotted the vehicle in a known drug area, I'm starting to put two and two together, as to why the vehicle was taken in the first place. Is air service up, by chance? All right, you have some units come over to 40th Street, going southbound, passing Lake. We have the FMR, signal 10 over here. He's driving normal, but I just want to see if we can stop him at a red light. We haven't spooked him. BETHANY: Oh. If someone's out at 50th and I-4, that would probably be good. He might get this red light up here. -BETHANY: Oh, nope. -All right, we're gonna let him go, 'cause he's U-turning back. BETHANY: Since air service isn't up, our best plan of attack is keep an eye on the car as long as we can and keep a loose box on it. Yeah, if we can do it safely. BETHANY: Other units are coming into the area, but not to the point where the suspect knows we're surrounding him. ROBB: 10-4. OFFICER: Driver! Turn your car off now! -OFFICER: There he is. -ROBB: 10-4. OFFICER: Driver! Turn your car off, now! Turn the car off. -DISPATCHER: 10-4. -BETHANY: What is going on? Nothing? Robb and I have been searching for a suspect in a car that was reported stolen by his parents. Whose car, sir? ROBB: You know why he's there, right? He's probably buying crack. How long you been smoking crack, man? How old are you? 50? See, you'll cut your life real short, you keep smoking that stuff. Honestly, the best thing for you is jail, so you can clean up again. I don't want you to end up dead. OFFICER: His mom gonna press charges on him? I don't know, I'm gonna call right now. I think if I can convince his mother to press charges, then it will help him get clean again. Hey, we have your Honda CR-V over here. You know that your son has a crack problem, right? We have him in handcuffs in the back of the car. I think the best thing for him is you guys to follow through with this. He needs to go to a drug place. All right, ma'am, we'll see you in a few minutes, okay? I've done all I can. What happens next is in his mother's hands. Hey, Mom, you want to say anything to him? Yeah, come on over. With you pressing charges, I'm gonna talk to the judge, 'cause I know him. And I'm gonna recommend that he get to a drug facility. ROBB: This is probably the toughest decision his mother's ever had to make. But ultimately it's an act of love. Of course. You're welcome. With this job, we deal with crack cocaine and its effects almost every day. This guy definitely has a long road of recovery in front of him, as long as he's open and willing to travel down that road. ROBB: I'm glad she went through with it, all of that. BETHANY: Oh, I know. ROBB: Actually, I think the world of him now because that's probably the hardest thing you got to do. What if one of my kids get a drug problem? I'd have to do the same thing. You'd have to press charges -in order for him to get help. -Get help. That's sad. (alarm rings) DOUG: Rescue 4 responding. STOKES: Engine 4 is calling for us to check out a patient who has a rapid heart rate after being attacked in Ybor City. Rescue 4's on scene. What's up? STOKES: Where's your shirt, man? I didn't want sex. They got mad. I was jumped by all of them. Little Mama? Was it a real small girl? Yeah, that's Little Mama. I know her. Little Mama, saving the day every day. EMT: I'm gonna put this around your head real quick, all right? It's just oxygen. It's gonna help you breathe a little bit better, all right? STOKES: Right now you got a pretty fast heart rate, so just try to relax a little bit, take some deep breaths. We want to go through his vital signs, make sure that he's stable. He does have a high heart rate in the 150s. DOUG: Rescue 4. Transport one patient. STOKES: We do need to ask him about drug use. We're not trying to embarrass him or make him feel ashamed, but we need to make sure he's not having a cardiac episode. I can't do anything about a police report or anything like that, but we can get you set up to where you could talk to somebody who can do something about it. All right? But right now I'm just worried about your heart rate. Take some deep breaths, nice and slow, nice and easy. Did you have any other recreational drugs tonight? Any chance that you were spiked, drugged, anything like that? At this point, we're recognizing that he's going through a traumatic situation, and that's why his heart rate is elevated. Anxiety can do that. My main objective is just to calm him down, get the heart rate down. Okay. Yeah. Take some deep breaths. Nice and slow, nice and easy. In through your nose, out through your mouth, all right? Nice, deep breaths. STOKES: We're pulling in now, okay, buddy? You need to file a report, and get a no-contact order, get a-a restraining order on him? I admire him for not being afraid to file a report against his attackers. It'll be all right, man. A lot of people do not want to press charges when these things happen. Your heart rate's slowing down a little bit, so that's good. Your blood pressure's down. So, just calming down a little bit is helping you out there. The prognosis is pretty good. He does have a few bumps and bruises. Physically, he's gonna be okay. That was a very emotional call. DOUG: I'll tell you... what my heart rate would be if... -someone tried to do... -My heart rate would be like 220. (laughs) That's my point. That's crazy stuff right there, dude. You don't need to be tormented like that, you know? A lot of times, victims of sexual abuse are afraid or embarrassed to come forward. It's never okay to be treated that way, and I'm glad he asked for help. I'm glad we were there for him. All right, let's go see if Little Mama's standing out there. -Just howling at the moon. -She's probably ready -to fight now, dude. -Oh, yeah. -She's all... -She's like, "I was gonna whup somebody." (laughs) DOUG: There she is. -G over here, girl. -There she is. Hey, Little Mama. -Come here. -What's up, baby? You see that guy get in a fight down there on 15th? He said that you saved him. You could've been a hero, Little Mama. She was able to scare off his attackers tonight, so I guess you could say Little Mama was his little angel. Are you behaving yourself? You doing good? -(laughs) -She's laughing. (Stokes laughs) STOKES: All right, Mama, I'll see you later. I can't help but love her. I don't know why. STOKES: At the end of a shift, you're always running the night through your head. You do reflect on calls, you think about a certain patient, and what happened once they got to the hospital. Long shift, buddy. Long shift. Every single one. STOKES: To me, love has many faces. It can be a family member recognizing that something's wrong and calling 911. All right, bub. I'll catch you. Good to go? -Gonna finish this up. -All right, man. -I'll see you. Nice day. -See you. Love can be doing the right thing for someone, even though it hurts you to do so. -Daddy! -Oh, no! Hey! What are you doing? (laughs) Oh, my birthday girl. Oh, boy. Were you a good girl for Mommy? -(laughing): Yeah. Yeah. -Are you sure? Fantastic. -I missed you. -Missed you, too. Love can be what keeps you going through in the middle of the night when you know that the city of Tampa needs you. CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY A+E NETWORKS
