07x03 - Most Deadly Passage

[bunniefuu]

[DINGING LOUDLY]

MAN: Hey,
we've been waiting for you guys! Come on!

Are we rolling with you?

Yeah! That's why
you're here, isn't it?

How does he look?

Get the trauma doctor
on the radio!

The man's still alive.
Feels awfully good.

Frankie, there's gas
in those lines!

Well, how do you guys
like Seattle so far?

I'll tell you one thing... Well,
so far, we think you guys...

Sir, can I take
your cup, please?

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

Listen, I wanted to tell you

how much I've thoroughly
enjoyed this flight.

I'm sure you did.

We're going to be down
in a few minutes, okay?

Oh, listen, you live
in Seattle, huh?

Not as far as you're concerned,
sir. Fasten your seat belt.

Listen, I think on the way...

[sums]

I think on the way back,
let's find another airline.

We're here on business.
Remember that.

Yeah, I know, to find out how
they do it in the back woods.

Huh, some back woods.
Look at this. Puget Sound.

Oh, yeah?

I'll see it when we're down.

Skipper?

Skipper, Barney says he's got to run
down a part for the number one engine

in order to finish
off the repairs.

He says it shouldn't take
more than about an hour or so.

Barney knows what he's doing.

He's been aboard
almost as long as I have.

And it looks like he's
gonna sure outlast me.

Cap, she's still yours.

[CHUCKLES] Until the end of the week,
maybe, anyhow, huh?

Then I gotta start figuring
what to do with the rest of my life.

Anyway, with milk prices
being what they are,

and farm subsidies and
tax write-offs and etcetera,

you gotta figure that the
dairy business has got to be

one gold-plated future.
Besides that...

Hey, wait, please, Swede.

Man. Hey, hold it, will you?

I mean,
you are boring me right out of my skull.

If I hear anymore
about the dairy business...

Rocky, with your range
of intellectual interests,

anything that would
bore you can't be all bad.

I mean, let's face it.

The only person that I ever knew

that was a duller conversationalist
than you in my entire life,

was that lady CPA
I used to date, Dolores.

Sweetheart.

Oh, yeah.

Always talking about the tax
advantages of getting married,

and having kids.

I mean, you know, like,
five or six of them.

Are you trying to tell me something,
Rocky, because, I've...

No. [WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPING]

DISPATCHER: Aid 2, Medic 1.

Seattle Center. Five Avenue
North and Thomas Street.

Possible jumper
on top of Space Needle.

Aid 2, Medic 1.
[ALARM BELL DINGING]

Seattle Center. Five Avenue
North and Thomas Street.

Aid 2, Medic 1.

Seattle Center. Five Avenue
North and Thomas Street.

[WOMAN ON PA] Attention please.

Passengers are arriving
from Los Angeles at Gate 2.

Attention please. Passengers are
arriving from Los Angeles at Gate 2.

JOHNNY: Hi.

Captain Michael Olson.
John Gage.

Roy DeSoto. Nice to
meet you. Nice to meet you.

I got a car right out front.
You wanna get your bags?

Sure, hey, we're
really impressed.

This place looks beautiful
from the air. Thank you.

Listen,
how's the paramedic business in Seattle?

Well, it's not as rough as LA,
but I think you'll find it interesting.

ROY: That's what we're here for.

[SIREN WAILING]

Whoa! What is it that
Orphan Annie said?

"Leapin' lizards!"

Yeah.

What's he doing up there?

JONES: He's a sky diver.

My partner and the police
sergeant are up there

trying to talk him out of it.

He's gotta be crazy or loaded.

Yeah. And they'll probably
put him in jail if he jumps.

You mean, if he survives.

[SIGHS] That's why
we were called. "If."

Yeah.

TREVOR: There he goes!

I hope he doesn't
drift too much.

I don't feel like chasing
him all over town.

Yeah, but he's drifting though.

Let's go.

I did it. I did it!

Is that fantastic?
I did it! All right!

I'm down! I'm alive! All right,
super! I did it! [LAUGHS]


All right! I'm down.

I'm fantastic!
I did it! All right!

Are you okay?

Okay? Okay?

I just did what no man has ever done
before, and you ask me if I'm okay?

I'm fantastic. I'm
wonderful! I'm famous!

[LAUGHING]

Sorry, friend,
you're not the first.

And I've got orders
to take you in.

Yeah. Well, I don't
think I can go.

POLICEMAN: Why?

I...

I think I kind of broke my leg.

Frank, got get that
traction splint, okay?

All right,
just lay back right there.

Fine.

OLSON: It's not so much that we're
that much better than other jurisdictions

as much as we're
probably just luckier.

Why? Because of your laws?

Yeah, partly. The Washington
law doesn't tie our hands.

Now for the most part, the physician
determines the dr*gs and the skills

that the paramedics use.

So, the law doesn't
hold us back.

If the doc is satisfied that
we have the necessary skills

and we're qualified to use
them in the field, then, we do it.

It's as simple as that.

That why you don't send EKGs
to the hospital by telemetry?

Partly.

We don't send
continuous telemetry.

Also, we operate
a resuscitation,

with standing orders
laid down by the physician.

Our men know how to read EKGs.

So there's no need to waste time
and money on a lot of fancy equipment

and continuous telemetry
capability is just fancy equipment.

So, in short, what you're saying

is that your doctors trust you.

You bet. Otherwise they wouldn't
certify us. It's as simple as that.

This your sky diver? Yeah.

How you doing? Great. Fantastic.

He's probably got
a left femur fracture.

Right, Room Three. And no stunts in here,
okay?

Hey,
you will let the press in when they come?

You will, won't you?
I'm gonna be in that book.

The one with all the records.

Just tell them I'm down here.

He's going on a record
as having the lowest IQ

of any human being
that's ever lived.

[CHUCKLING]

The price of fame, huh?

Now, I don't know about that.

But I do have the price
for a cup of coffee.

Oh. How about you, Swede?

Uh, flat.

As usual. Come on.

Someday,
when you're swimming in money and milk...

Why don't you just
go move the rig?

Move the rig.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

I'll be back in time to
pick up the check though.

SWEDE: Good.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, I've to get
my coat out of here.

He does his best work
in tight situations.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, he's still convinced
this is a paid vacation.

They told me it's gonna
be a working vacation,

eight on and 16 off, right?

Do you want to take a
little more time there?

If you're lucky,
it's only 10 on. Are you ready?

This is Harborview.

It's a teaching hospital
associated with

the University of
Washington Medical School.

Yeah? It's where we
train our paramedics.

Need any help there?

No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Well, thanks for the company.

You owe me a dime.

You're gonna have to catch me.

Mmm. Yeah.

Put 'em back to work, would you,
Mike? They're goofing off again.

Okay.

Well, the big city
paramedics have arrived.

Roy DeSoto and John Gage,
Seattle's finest.

Swede Halverson. Rocky Marlowe.

All right. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Good.

Okay, I'm gonna take 'em on a tour,
around the hospital.

[WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPING]

They're after me again.

DISPATCHER: Portable 33.

Call headquarters. Portable 33,
call headquarters. Urgent.

Look, why don't you guys go ahead and start
the tour and I'll just find you later.

You got it. All right, thanks.

Is he always that busy?

Only when he's in town.

[WOMAN ON PA] Doctor Adams,
dial 4. Doctor Adams, dial 4.

Doc, I'd like for you to meet,
John Gage, Roy DeSoto,

LA County paramedics.

Nice to meet you. How are you?

I heard you were coming.

Olson had me lined up
to give you the cook's tour.

Where is he?

He's on pressing business.

Well, what do you think?

Great.

Have you tried it out?

Well, I put together
dozens of them in Vietnam.

It worked over there.

Exactly what is it?

Exactly, it is a Jerry-rigged
needle for thoracostomies.

Thoracostomy? You're kidding.

You let your paramedics do
thoracostomies in the field?

You have something against it?

No, I have nothing against it.

I mean,
I know if you don't get air to a victim

he may die on you, but...

Well, frankly, Doc,
we've been asking for this for years.

MERCER: Well, I'll tell you.

I have put these fellows
through enough training,

and I'm satisfied they know
how to use it. Use it right.

So, Rocky, Swede,
a sterile one. Be my guest.

Doc, you can't get these in
any medical supply houses?

It's just like anything else.

Nobody thought to produce them.

Chest tubes and pumps
are in all the hospitals.

Nobody's seen fit to put
those to use in the field.

But they do now?

With a doctor's "okay". And
they're gonna save a lot of lives.

You sure you wouldn't
like to come to LA?

You don't need me. You
need to update your laws.

The crisis is over.

What do you say,
we finish the tour? All right.

We'll tie up with you guys later
on back at the headquarters.

Swede, I think he's telling us

that we're overtime on
our tour and coffee break.

That means he wants to get 'em
off on the right foot, is what it means.

Bye, guys.

Oh, is that what he means?

[WOMAN ON PA] Dr. Alberts.

See you later. All right,
see you guys later.

These guys are nice guys.

[CHUCKLES] You gotta be kidding.

Come on.

[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]

How's it coming, Barney?

Oh. Getting there, Cap.

Good. The new part's
gonna work out then?

Oh, yeah,
she's kind of like you and me,

she might need a teeth
filled now and again,

but still put away a full meal,
if you know what I mean.

Barney, I want you to know...

Uh-uh-uh.

Listen, it ain't over yet, Cap.

If it's all the same with you,

I just as soon not hear no swan song,
if you know what I mean?

You're a good friend, Barney.

And the best Chief
Engineer on the Puget Sound,

let's not forget about that.

That's true.

How's that new
otter working out?

[SIGHS] Well,
he don't know bells from jacks,

but like all these young kids,
they think they know everything

first time around.

Yeah, I guess they all do.

Okay, you let me know when
we're ready to be in service.

Will do, Cap.

Hey!

[sums]

If you'd done that like I
told you in the first place...

Cool it. Cool it. Look,
I'll get the oil can, okay?

Yeah, then we'll get
on with the lesson.

[HORN HONKING]

To what do I owe this pleasure?

Your lunch. You walked right
by it in the kitchen this morning.

Well, maybe they're right.

It seems I am getting forgetful.

Don't you believe that,
Gordon Trigg!

I'll be right down.

Hi.

Thank you, darling.

Oh, it's okay.

But I don't see why you just
didn't come home for lunch,

since you're down
here for repairs.

Oh, I don't know. It's just...

I guess I don't feel right away
from the old boat, you know.

Yeah, Gordie. I know.

But, don't you think you
ought to start getting used to it?

After all... Yeah, but...

Hey, why don't you come
up to the bridge for a while?

You can sit with me while I eat.

Well, I left the car
parked down there.

Oh, don't worry about it. The
ferry won't be back for half an hour.

Oh, okay,
you got yourself a deal, Captain.

Way to go.

They'll be waiting
for you upstairs.

Now remember,
you guys are just visitors.

So, watch, don't do.
That way, nobody sues us.

We stopped volunteering
a long time ago.

Okay, enjoy your stay. Thanks.

And remember,
you're gonna be watching Seattle's finest.

Yeah. Keep saying that. I know.

But don't tell them. All right,
see you later.

Hey, can I give you a hand?

Thanks.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

Look at the size of this engine.

I'm not gonna carry your bag.

Look at this. Hey.

So, what I'm saying...
Look at this truck. I bet...

[ALARM BUZZING]

DISPATCHER: Medic 1,
Ladder 1, to the Kingdome.

I wonder what those
things are for.

MAN: Hey,
we've been waiting for you guys! Come on!

Are we rolling with you?

Yeah! That's why
you're here, isn't it?

Let's go!

Where do I put them?

DISPATCHER: Medic 1,
Ladder 1, to the Kingdome.

Medic 1, Ladder 1,
to the Kingdome.

[SIREN WAILING]

Medic 1, Ladder 1,
to the Kingdome.

Accident on a cable lift.
Set of injuries, unknown.

Enter on the north service gate.

SWEDE: Medic 1, okay.

Have you tried the
remote override switch?

MANAGER: Again and again.
There's just no power left up there.

The roof's the only way
I can see, Lieutenant.

Okay, go ahead.

How exactly did this happen?

Well,
Ernie was taking the elevator up

to work on the video booth.

The engine went,
the brake failed.

The darn thing dropped 30
feet before the safety kicked in.

Bounced old Ernie
around like a rag doll.

This is Ladder 1,
we're going to need,

more equipment
and men down here.

Give us an engine company.
DISPATCHER.' Okay, Ladder 1.

Okay, guys,
we might not have enough line.

So let's get that
aerial raised up.

I'll get the drug box.

DISPATCHER: Engine 10,
to the Kingdome.

[HORN BLARING]

The patient's up there
in the video booth.

Captain, you wanna give us a
hand with some of these lines here?

How does he look?

Get the trauma doctor
on the radio!

Tell him to stand by!

Have Medic 1 stand by.

DISPATCHER: Okay, Medic 1.

Medic 1 doctor,
use radio for Medic 1.

Medic 1 doctor,
use radio for Medic 1.

See what they have, okay? Sure.

You stay real still now,
Timmy. Okay?

[WOMAN ON PA] Doctor Hall,
dial 6. Doctor Hall, dial 6.

I've got a doc
standing by. Good.

Put your case down here.

Subdural hematoma?

Yeah, maybe.

Pressure's bad and he's got a
tension pneumothorax on top of it.

Let's get an IV going.

Want me to help you set up?

Yeah.

Tape.

Okay, I'm ready when you are.

ROCKY: Good.

All set.

Got the tape?

Yeah.

Right here.

Swede?

He's got no color at all.

Medic 1, Medic 1, Doctor.

All right, go head, Medic 1.

We have a 30-year old male, head injury,
probable subdural hematoma.

BP 100 over 70, pulse 120,
respiration's very shallow,

left pupil, is dilated
and very sluggish.

And there are no
breath sounds on the left.

What's his level
of consciousness?

Unconscious. Very
little pain response,

no response to voice stimuli.

We've started two IV routes
and implemented Plan A-2.

And, Doc, we also have a left
pneumothorax and a possible hemothorax.

Has the trachea shifted?

That's affirmative.

We've got to ventilate him fast.

Request permission to intubate
and a left chest needle thoracostomy.

Okay, you've got permission.

Okay, let's go.

If I can help you, let me know.

All right.

Roy, give me some O2 and a bag.

We heard you guys
could intubate.

There's no better way.

Well, come on down to LA
and convince our leaders of that.

[RAGGED BREATHING]

Bag.

Bag.

Can I have a needle,
please, Roy?

Medic 1, Doctor?

Doc, He's starting to pink up.
Respiration's much better.

His trachea is now aligned
and he's moving air well.

Okay, we'll be ready for
you as soon as you get here.

Medic 1, okay.

Uh, get Trauma 1 ready, stat.

We'll evaluate head
and chest injuries first.

Homemade lifesavers.
How's it feel?

The man's still alive.
Feels awfully good.

All right, here's mommy.

At school, they call it a fisheye
aggie. He's gonna be fine.

[WOMAN ON PA] Dr. Bethany,


EMI or angiogram?

Let's get some skull films
and get the trauma team.

Betadine syringe
on a stick, please.

Is he breathing
on his own at all?

A little bit. Not much.

This is the alcohol.

Alcohol? Thank you.

Has he had his
decadron yet, Doctor?

I don't believe he has.

Can we have some decadron,
please? Ten milligrams.

Okay-

Local anesthetic.

Twist drill.

Through. Stylette please.

[GROANS] Boy.

You mean, you guys
transport, too?

You don't?

Well, ifs just the
way we got started.

You see, we carry a lot of physical
rescue gear as well as medical gear.

We just don't have the room.

That's good,
but if we get into trade-offs,

I think I'd rather
transport if we have to.

And that way we have our equipment
and supplies available in transit.

Yeah, I can see your point,
but I tell you,

if we transported,
we'd just be taken out of service too long.

See, you have to understand,

we're a bit thin
on the ground in LA.

How thin?

Our department covers 2000
square miles and 2,000,000 people.

Thin enough?

Phew!

You got only four rigs, right?

You take care of this
whole city with just four rigs?

Well,
we have 500,000 people and 94 square miles.

So, four Medic Units and
seven Aid Units do just fine.

Aid units. What are they?

It's kind of a basic
life support unit.

They roll on the calls that don't
require our fancy training or equipment.

Sounds like you got a
good triage system here.

You got it.

And it starts when the first call is
made over here to the dispatch center.

That's nice. That's really nice.

Wait till you see
the rest. Come on.

What rest you talking about?

Hey, Barney, you finished yet?

Just now, Cap. Good.

What can I do you for?

Well, the home office called,

and it seems one of those super
ferries on the Seattle to Bremerton run

is down for repairs. They want
us to move in and cover for her.

They do, do they?

Bremerton run, huh?

That was this old girl's
prime run 50 years ago

when they first
put her in the water.

Now they want her back, do they?

That's right.

We're heading for
Seattle this evening

and making Bremerton run
day after tomorrow.

It's just for a couple of days.

Uh, Cap?

You know, if you gotta go,
this is the way to do it. First class.

First class, huh?

You know, Barney,
you're absolutely right.

You order all the
fuel tanks topped off.

I'll do it, Cap.

First class?

First class.

Gotta make a phone call.

Hey, Maggie, start packing.

What for? You're
going to Seattle with me.

That's right. We're making
Bremerton run day after tomorrow.

And I wanna tell you, honey,
tonight I'm treating my lovely wife

to the finest dinner in Seattle.

Well, It's only for a couple of days,
sweetie,

but we'll make
the best of it, okay?

Yeah. We'll live it
up in the big city.

Okay, honey, you get a move on.

BARNEY: Frankie!

Huh?

That number two valve there,

I want her oiled up,
working like a slick cat.

She's been sticking
a little bit on me lately

and I wanna use her
on the Bremerton run.

Uh, number two valve.

Number two valve.

So, what's the big deal?

The big deal is trim. We
wanna be able to trim the boat.

Trim?

Trim. You see,
when the fuel gets low on one t*nk,

we open the valve
and the ferry...

Oh.

Yeah, I can dig it.

If we open this valve,
that pulls the gas out of number two

and the boat gets
leveled. That it?

Not gas. Diesel.

These are diesel engines.

Ain't you learned nothing yet?

Diesel?

Diesel.

Diesel engines burn
diesel fuel. Not gasoline.

So what's the big difference?

I mean, it's all go-power,
man. [LAUGHS]

The big difference,
" an", is flash point.

You put gasoline
in the diesel engine,

it'll flat blow your head off.

Yeah?

You mean, like, boom.

Yeah, like boom.

No, no, the dispatcher's
out sick and...

Wait, hold please. No,
the dispatcher's out sick.

I'm just trying
to cover for him.

I don't know what I'm
doing. I'm just covering.

[RINGS] Hold.

Yeah? Okay, wait, wait.

Okay, that's 2,500 gallons
of number two diesel.

Got it.

[RINGS]

What?

[BELL RINGS]

The dispatcher's out sick. I'm
just trying to cover for him, okay?

What do you need?

Okay. Okay. Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, we'll get
right on it. Okay.

So, what you got?

Hold please. Order here for
the Klickitat. Get right on it.

Yeah. What was that?

Klickitat? What's that?

Hold, please.

That's a ferry, stupid.

Okay, okay. Don't get mad at
me. How am I supposed to know?

It's my first day here.
Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm just, I mean,
everything is going crazy here.

Look, just take her on down and fuel
her up, okay? She's at the ferry dock.

I could have figured
that out for myself.

[sums]

What was that now?

[ENGINE STARTING]

ROCKY: We're number one.

End of shift, gentlemen.

Let's change. John,
you'll be staying with me.

Aw, listen, that not
really necessary.

We don't really
have to, you know.

Hey, wouldn't have
it any other way.

All right.

And, Roy,
I got big plans for you. You like fishing?

No. Yeah, I do.

Good. Here. John, let's go.

You're gonna love what
I've got lined up for you.

Nurses?

How did you guess?

I just took a wild
s*ab in the dark.

You part of the crew here?

Yeah, I sure am.

Yeah, I run the engine room.

We're heading for Seattle,
you know.

Yeah. Well,
no one was here when I pulled in,

so I went ahead
and filled her anyway.

One of them only took 100.

But the other one
was really low.

Yeah, I went out and grabbed a
sandwich. You got it right anyway.

It has to do with the
trim, you know. Huh?

You see, the balance between the tanks,
that keeps the boat trim.

Whatever.

Maggie, let's just
kind of think of this

as our first cruise ship
voyage, shall we?

[CHUCKLES] Okay.
It's a vacation.

Yeah. Except
I'll be at the helm.

With you, just like
that first day 30 years ago.

Hi, Brian.

Hi, Maggie.

We all set?

All set, skipper.

Let's get out of here. Yes, sir.

[PHONE RINGING]

Engine room.

Turn 'em over, Barney.
We're on our way.

Will do, Cap.

[HORN BLOWING]

JOHNNY: I don't believe this.

They said that Seattle
had a lot of rain,

but nobody said
anything about snow.

SWEDE: Snow? This is
just the late afternoon frost.

JOHNNY: [CHUCKLES] Yeah,
the late afternoon frost, huh?

[sums]

Hey, Swede, this is a farm.

A dairy farm. Ever milked a cow?

You gotta be kidding me.

I thought milk
came from a faucet.

Dad, come quick. It's Daisy.

What is it, Danny?
Where's your mother?

She's already with her.

Please, hurry. We need help.

Everything's a crisis
around here.

Uh, hey, Swede?

Uh... Who's Daisy?

SWEDE: Oh. A beautiful,
gorgeous lady. You can't believe it.

Is she single? [Cow MOOING]

Yeah.

How is she?

We're scared, aren't we, Mom?

It's a breech birth, Swede.

It's gonna be really rough.

Did you call the vet?

He's out. Not expected
back for hours.

Is she gonna die, Dad?

Is Daisy gonna die?

No, Danny. Not if we
have anything to do with it.

We could use your help, John.

Yeah. You got it.

John, this is my wife, Nancy.

Hi. Hi.

We passed in
the coffee room today.

Yeah, we did.

Welcome to
Halverson's Dairy Farm.

Thank you very much.
Well, I guess,

cows are the same as people,
aren't they?

[LAUGHS] You'll do
just fine, John.

Sure... Sure.

Sure.

Beer?

Yeah.

John. Beer. Two draughts.

Coming right up. Yeah.

So, you live on a boat, huh?

Well, it's more
than just a boat.

It's sort of like
a lifestyle, you know,

a place for sleeping
and, well, recreation.

Fishing? Yeah, fishing.

Lots of fishing.

But have I got a great
night for us tonight.

I mean, wait till you see 'em.

See 'em?

Yeah. Yours is the blonde.

And let me tell you, she is...

Rocky, I'm married.

[STAMMERING] Married?

I mean, but,
are you that married?

Yeah.

Guess I kinda
blew your plans, huh?

[sums]

Yeah.

Hey, wait.

Please tell me that Gage
is the one who's not married.

Gage is the one
who's not married.

Look, then there's no problem.

The girls get here,
have a little drink,

we go out to
Swede's farm, and...

I mean,
there's no reflection on you, Roy.

No, of course not.

Dear old Captain Olson,
always did have a weird sense of humor.

He's married, too, huh?

Oh, yeah, he's married.
Terrible thing.

There they are. Come on.
See, what I told you.

[STAMMERING] No,
I think I'm gonna stay here

and just hold down the fort.

Uh, I mean, you don't
want to even meet 'em?

[STAMMERING] Well,
why don't you go over and you take...

I think it'd be a better idea if

you take care of it.
I'll just...

You're married.

Hi.

[CHATTING INDISTINCTLY]

Uh, John, please give the ladies
anything that they would like.

And, two minutes. Be right back.

Wait until you see Swede's farm.

How'd you make out?

We're fine. Everything
worked beautiful.

Good. I'm sorry that I...

No, it's not that far.
Right out of town.

You know, horses,
and the cattle are beautiful.

Are you ready, Mr. Larson?

I'm always ready, Mrs. Larson.

[LAUGHING] I mean,
with our dinner.

Be ready in a minute.

Who said this wasn't a
way to run a honeymoon?

[LAUGHS]

This is perfectly sinful.

Overindulgent, and I love it!

How come I'm so
lucky to have you?

My aim was so good
when I started the hunt.

Can you be serious
for two seconds?

One, two. How's that?

Break, break, break!

The champagne is getting warm.

I can understand why.

[LAUGHING]

To us. To us.

[GROANING]

Any change?

Nothing.

Is there any more we can do?

Maybe praying.

Hey. It's gonna be okay.

Why don't you go to the
house and get some blankets?

Okay.

Easy, girl.

Easy.

ROCKY: No lights
are on in the house.

It sure is pretty here.

Isn't it?

It's also cold.

Yeah, a little brisk tonight.

Hey, Danny, what's the rush?

It's Daisy, Uncle Rocky.

Yeah?

I had to get the blankets.

Who's Daisy? Oh.

It's a Holstein cow, the one that
puts out all that above average milk.

No, but Swede's got a lot of his
savings invested in her though.

[DAISY GROANING]

ROCKY: Hi.

SWEDE: Just in time.

Look,
I want to trade DeSoto for Gage.

I mean,
I got two of the prettiest lined up for us.

Yeah. Sounds real good,
Rocky, but we got a problem.

What's wrong? Breech birth.

Can you use some help?

Sure. Oh,
but we hate to ruin your date, Rocky.

Oh, they'll wait. Never fear.

Great.

John, here.

This is a sort of
a classy place.

Don't embarrass me
in front of these ladies.

[BOTH CHATTERING]

Uh...

John...

The girls?

Yeah, the girls.

Guess they didn't
like my company.

They left you a note
on the bar napkin.

Where do we meet 'em?

We don't.

We don't? What do
you mean "we don't"?

This says to get lost.

Yeah. "Get lost."

[SIGHS] Well, Rocky,
how well did you know these girls?

Well, look, I told them,
you know, 10, 15 minutes.

I didn't know we're going to
be at Swede's farm half the night

delivering a calf.

All right, all right.
What do we do now?

Well, it's a little
late to go looking.

I guess we're just go on out to
the boat and do some fishing.

And, you know,
I was gonna take them fishing with us.

Fishing!

Like, at the break of dawn.

Oh, that's good.

It was a lovely dinner,
darling. Thank you.

Yeah,
I guess we should have done it more often.

Well, from now on,
we will do it more often, okay?

I'd like that.

Yes, you're the best, Maggie.

The very best.

Gordon, you remember
Penny Johnson?

She was a private
secretary at the Capitol?

Yeah, what about it?

Well, she told me that there's legislation
pending to drop mandatory retirement.

Now, that could be on the
governor's desk tomorrow.

I know, honey. I heard it.

But it's not going to
be in time to help me.

Oh!

You give up too easily.

[CHUCKLES] Fifty years on Puget
Sound has made a realist of me.

Well, then humor me. I
want to believe it'll happen.

Well, down deep,
I do, too, Maggie.

I do, too.

[cow MOOING]

Hey, Daisy, you did fine.
You did just fine.

[sum-nus]

Oh, boy.

[WIND BLOWING]

Hey, lazybones.

Are you gonna sleep all day?

Breakfast is ready.

I thought you couldn't cook.

I was holding out on you.

We've got a
full course breakfast.

Uh, yeah.

[LAUGHING]

Instant coffee and snap,
crackle and zing.

Peggy, you're super.

I know.

[LAUGHING]

What's on the agenda for today?

How about Seattle Center first?

Sounds good.

Then lunch.

You're cooking.

Then a tour of the city.

Then...

How would you like to see
the USS Missouri tomorrow?

Why not? Where is it?

Just a few miles
from downtown Bremerton.

We'll catch
the ferry in Seattle.

[ALARM RINGING]

[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]

Hey, good morning.

It sure is.

What the...

It's freezing.

This is not where
we were last night.

No, I thought I'd get us
a good early start.

JOHNNY: Where are we?

ROCKY: Take a look.

Well, this is called
the Hiram Chittenden Locks

and we're moving from Lake
Washington over to the Puget Sound,

and hopefully, to some of the best
salmon fishing you've ever seen.

JOHNNY: Fishing?
You're crazy! It's freezing!

ROCKY: Hey, man, you're kidding.

For Seattle, this is beautiful.

JOHNNY: I think I was
better off with Swede's cow.

ROCKY: Look out, salmon,
here we come!

JOHNNY: You don't happen to
have a heater up here, do you?

Well?

Do I go to the
head of the class?

Not exactly.

But you can go home tomorrow.

If you take it very easy.

You just can't wait to get rid of me,
can you?

I've got too much work to do in the
Emergency Room to waste time on you.

Besides,
I've planted a spy to take you home.

A spy named Nancy Halverson, eh?

Nancy will check
things out at Bremerton

so the doctor will know
everything is relaxed and peaceful.

One thing about a good nurse...

I know. Don't tell me.

They work both sides
of the hospital bed.

That, too.

Come one, Gage,
we got a meeting.

We got a meeting. Hop to it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
just before we go in...

Hang on for a second.

Please, don't tell Roy, okay?

He won't let me
live it down. Please.

Anybody can get seasick.

I know anybody can get seasick.

But still,
it sounds just a little silly.

Especially since we
connected with the young ladies,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah. Who both were
coming on to you.

I mean,
I like being a good host and all that...

Hang on for a sec.

First off, you're wrong.

Secondly, I was too
seasick to enjoy it.

You sure that wasn't an act?

How do you act green?

TREVOR: So that's it,
fellas. The year's up.

The money's gone and
Congress hasn't done anything

to fund the program
on a permanent basis.

Where does that
leave us, Captain?

You know, it leaves us pretty
much okay here in Seattle.

The national project is gone,
but here, well,

we'll have to keep the
training up with local funds.

Unless Congress
passes new legislation.

Does that mean we're folding
the Marine Firefighting Division?

No,
it doesn't. We'll keep our team together,

but there's just not enough money
for this intense training anymore,

and there's not going to be any funds
for us to keep training other departments.

That's it.

Man, I really busted learning
how to fight shipboard fires.

That was going to be
a super program.

Well, now at least
you're an expert.

Bureaucracy.

You know, I bet if one of
the ships caught fire out here

and was destroyed, the cost
alone could keep your program going

for the next 10 years.

That's right.

Well, tell that to Congress.

Let's move 'em in.
Nice and easy.

We're on our way to Bremerton.

Oh, Dave,
it's beautiful. Real character.

Says here she was built in 1927,

she's 256 feet long,
and puts out 1,800 horses to get 12 knots.

Anybody ever tell
you're a real nut?

It's the engineer in me.

Feeling okay?

Sure.

After all, I'm going home.

Good morning.

Morning, darling.

Sleep well? Yes.

Till about 3:00 this morning

when I heard you
at the typewriter.

Yeah.

Well, I was writing
the governor,

thinking it might
help someone else.

Hey, you remember that first
day when you were made captain?

Yes, I do.

I was here with my new bride,
on this dock,

on this boat,
on the same trip to Bremerton.

And what a fine figure
of a man you were.

So proud.

Yes, I was proud.

Excuse me.

Engine room.

Barney, we'll depart
in about 10 minutes.

You got it, Cap.

Come on, Frankie,
let's get on it.

[HISSING]

[ENGINE RUMBLING LOUDLY]

Okay, chain her up.

[RINGING]

[HORN BLOWING]

Would you care to join
me on a trip to Bremerton?

I'd be happy to, Captain.

Let's go.

I think I'll heat something
up. Do you want something?

Don't use the stove.

Not aboard this ferry anyway.

Darn. Do you think they
have something on board?

Probably got
a hot dog stand topside.

[LAUGHING] Topside?

Upstairs.

Whatever you say, sir.
You want to come along?

No, I'll just stay here.

Lazy bum. Can I
bring you anything?

No, I'm not hungry.

Just don't take too long, okay?

Okay.

[HORN BLOWING]

Time to trim... It's time to trim her,
Frankie.

Valve number two.

[RATTLING]

[SNIFFING]

Frankie, there's gas
in those lines!

[HORN BLARING]

Engine 36, att*ck 10, Engine 32,

29, 4, Ladder 11 and 7,
Battalion 7 and 5.

Respond to Station 4.

Engine 36, att*ck 10, 32.

29, 4, Ladder 11 and 7,
Battalion 7 and 5.

Respond to Station 4.

[HORN BLARING]

Dave.

Hey, what happened?
We're not sure.

Please stay back.

Ow!

[EXPLODING]

What's happened now?

It was probably the day t*nk.

Oh, my God! Gordon's down there!

Now, wait a minute,
Maggie. You can't help.

You just stay here. Let me go.

Maggie, please, trust me.

Give him a hand.

And you'd better put him on a
backboard and use a cervical collar.

Nancy, what?

It's nothing. [SHUSHING]

It's nothing. It's
nothing we can't handle.

[ON RADIO] This is Battalion 1.

Give me a second alarm
to Station 4.

Mobilize the Marine Division
and notify Coast Guard and police

to respond all their available
small craft for possible evacuation.

Advise the Assistant Chief I'm going aboard
the Alki to take command of the fire.

[COUGHING]

We can use that barge.

This is fireboat Duwamish,

fireboat Duwamish,
calling the tug Anna on channel 16.

TUG CAPTAIN: This is the
Anna on channel 16. Go ahead.

I request that you
tie your barge to

the windward end of the
ferry for possible evacuation,

then move your boat to the starboard
side and keep her from drifting.

She appears to be
dead in the water.

Duwamish,
this is the tug Anna. We're on our way.

Yo!

The Captain is hurt bad. We've got
two guys trapped in the engine room!

How hot is the auto deck?

Too hot. We're blowing
tires on the vehicles.

Lieutenant, take your crew
and lay two two-and-a-halfs

to cool down the auto deck
until we get some help.

I'll take my crew,
lay a manifold aboard

and get some lines
to the engine room.

Captain, auto deck's
the hottest.

That's why the vehicle
tires are blowing.

Right then, get on the PA
if it's still working

and tell the people to get
down here for evacuation.

Right away, sir.

Give me water on the manifolds.

Water! Now!

HUNT ON PA: Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have your attention please.

This is First Officer,
Brian Hunt.

Please remain calm
and don't panic.

Please assemble
in the cafeteria.

I will try to get there
and give you instructions.

And above all,
please remain calm.

[SIREN WAILING]

How's he doing?

Broken leg, possible concussion,

and possible internal injuries.

Move him off the deck
onto that truck over there.

Keep an eye on him.

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

Okay, get a wrap on it.

You guys stay here
and stay out of the way.

Now, remember, you're observers.

ROY: Right. Sure.

[FIREMEN SHOUTING]

[SIREN WAILING]

Folks, allow me in here, please.

Ladies and gentlemen,
can I have your attention, please?

I'm Brian Hunt,
I'm the First Officer of this vessel.

Now, the first thing I'm gonna
ask you is everybody remain calm.

Order is essential.

Now, those of you that
don't have life jackets on

can obtain them in the lockers
and the benches in each cabin.

Then proceed immediately
to the auto deck.

If you see anybody
that's injured,

please help them
to the auto deck.

Is that understood?

WOMAN: Yes. [SOBBING]

HUNT: Now we have some...
What's wrong, ma'am?

My husband's... Don't
worry about your husband.

We have sufficient
help en route.

Please don't panic. Be calm.

It can save your life.

Now, first people at the door,
proceed please.

Take it easy now. Be calm.

Watch your step. Be calm now.

One at a time, please.
One at a time.

LARSON: Peggy!

[PEOPLE CLAMORING]

We can't get at it from here.

We'll have to att*ck it
from an adjacent compartment

when we get more help.

Right now, lay these lines to the
passenger deck and cover the exposures.

Okay?

Let's get these
people out of here.

These people. Let's go!

[RADIO CHATTER]

Come on, give me
a fast run down.

Chief, I think we've got a
gasoline fire down there.

We've got a report of two
men trapped in the engine room

and the auto deck
entrances are fully involved.

Can't get in that way.

The CO2 system is knocked out.

I suggest we use a jet axe
to get through the shaft alley.

What lines have been laid?

We've got two exposure
lines on the passenger deck.

We need one more
on the Texas deck.

One of you men get on the
inch-and-a-half up on the Texas deck.

I also think we ought to clear

some of those cars off
the top of that engine room.

All right, you go ahead and get
your jet axe and your lines ready.

I'll establish a command
post here on the auto deck.

Charlie! Get the
J-3 jet axe over here!

What are we doing
just standing here?

Yes, that's a good
question. Let's go.

You want to? Yeah.

Don't panic. Take it
easy. Slowly. Slowly.

Everybody's all right.

Let's get these people
taken care of.

Take it easy now.

Slowly. It's all right.

We've got lots of boats
for you, folks.

How's he doing?

He's stable.

You men come with me. We've
got reported casualties below.

All right. You
stay here with him.

Okay.

HUNT: Take it nice and easy,
please. One at a time.

One at a time.

Put your life preservers on.

Okay. Here, let me
give you a hand here.

Don't panic, ma'am.
Nice and easy.

Peggy!

[SOBBING]

Come on.

Peggy!

Need a hand?

Yeah, could you guys keep an
eye on him? He seems stable now?

You got it.

Get his BP.

Get the hatch. Get the hatch.

[COUGHING]

Easy.

Easy.

All right,
let's clear the center out.

If you have to,
shove those end cars overboard.

Assistant Chief, Battalion 1.

ASSISTANT CHIEF:
Go ahead, Battalion 1.

Chief, we're going to need
some additional foam units

and some light water
out here pretty soon.

It's already on its way
aboard the Leschi.

Okay. Battalion 1, okay.

All right,
let's get this cleared out.

[SIREN WAILING]

Peggy!

Peggy! Dave!

Come on,
let's go. Down the auto deck. Please.

Battalion 1 to Engine 3.

We've got a car stuck on
the end of the auto deck.

Knock it off with your monitor.

All right, come one, fellas.

If there's anyone on the other side,
stand clear.

We're going to blow a
hole in this bulkhead.

MAN: Okay. Take it away!

Hey! We're over here!

Over here. Give
us a hand over here.

[GROANING]

I'll go find a paramedic.

I gotta get him out of here.

He's over this way.

He's got a BP of 60 by palpation,
a rate of 120.

Better start an IV of Ringer's.

You need me?

No, I can handle it. All right.

We're gonna go see what
else we can do for somebody.

Hey,
Roy! Can you give me a hand here?

ROY: Yeah.

NANCY: Look,
I gotta get him out of here.

His heart isn't gonna
take much more.

ROY: Yeah, let's move him.

Spray some over here.
Cool off this bulkhead.

Oh, Gordon!

I'm okay, Maggie. I'm okay.

How's the ship?

Fine. She's going
to be just fine.

Barney?

He's still down there. I couldn't
get to him. He's still down there.

I know. The firemen
will get him out.

Darling,
you just try and take it easy, please.

My ship, Mag.

My responsibility.

I guess I'm through
after all, huh?

Oh, Gordon! [SOBBING]

Come on, take it easy, old girl.

Oh, my darling.

Ma'am,
I'll have to ask you to stand over there.

The helicopter's gonna
come in to pick him up now.

I'll see you, don't worry.

Don't worry, honey.

[RADIO CHATTER]

[COUGHING]

Okay. Secure.

Pull him up.

You're gonna be just fine,
Professor.

A couple more days,
you'll be on your way home.

BENNETT: Anything to get me
back in that darn hospital, huh?

Come on, let's go!

Okay. Easy now. Pull her up.

Engine 36 to Battalion 1.

We have lines laid
into the engine room

and are making good progress.

We'll have it tapped shortly.

Okay, 36.

Hey, you need some help?

I thought I told you guys...

Well, we misunderstood you.

We thought you said,
"Come on aboard. Give us a hand."

[GRUNTING]

Can you stand up?

Yeah.

Just lay him back. Here we go.

Okay, we got Yo"-

[BARNEY GROANING]

[RADIO CHATTER]

TREVOR: We've got
a tapped fire, Chief.

I'd like a relief crew
for overhaul.

I'll take care of it. Right.

Good job, Cap.

We got through it without
one major casualty.

Including the boat.

Hey.

Like the boss says,
"Nice job, fellas".

Yeah.

Well, how do you guys
like Seattle so far?

I'll tell you one thing... Well,
so far, we think you guys...

Well,
I think what we're trying to say is,

we think you guys
have got it together.

Thanks.

But, you gotta admit
that last night

really made up for
the other night, right?

Yeah, I guess it did.

Well, listen,
when you come to LA,

I'll show you
a really good time.

All right, snob!

Hey, you raised in a barn?

[cow MOOING]

You should have some sort
of mechanism that pulls it shut.

Yeah, well,
you can take the boy out of the city,

but you can't take
the city out of the boy.

Look, I keep telling you,
I'm not from the city.

I just happen to live there.
I'm from the country.

Well, my first calving
and my first ship fire,

this has been a real
interesting trip.

Well,
we don't live like this all the time.

Hey, look,
if I didn't have a family

and a nice well-paying job back in LA,
I'd move out here in a minute.

Hey... Oh, come on.

Roy, you ready to go?
We got a plane to catch.

Ready to go? I'm packed.

[SIGHS] All right.
Here I am. Let's go.

Look, Dad, he's doing it!

He's doing it!

By golly, he is.

That's terrific, son.

Hey, Swede,
I just have one question.

What's wrong with Daisy's milk?

Well, you see,
the cow's milk probably didn't have,

you know, enough iron and
vitamins that the calf needs.

Oh. Well, that makes sense.

Rocky,
when did your interest in dairying begin?

When I found out that that
cute little devil over there

is worth five big ones.

He's not for sale, Rocky.

That wasn't an offer, Swede.

Well, at least not yet.

I mean, you know,
I gotta check out

the breeding and
everything first.

SWEDE: What's wrong
with the breeding?

Well, how should I know?

I mean, after all,
I'm just getting into this scene.

How should you know?
That's a good question.

Guys... Swede,
Rocky didn't wanna really buy that calf,

and Swede doesn't
really wanna sell it.

There is no problem.

He's just driving me crazy.
But that's no problem.

[STAMMERING] Oh, wait, I...

That's right.
There's no problem.

Hey, come on,
you two, cut it out!

[STAMMERING] It wasn't anything I said,
was it?

I mean, I didn't... Oh, no.

What are they acting
so weird for?

Well, I can understand that.

Guys work that close together,
you know,

all of a sudden
you start talking,

somebody starts overreacting,

somebody says
something inconsequential,

all of a sudden,
there's a small w*r going on.

What do you mean by that?

Well,
nothing. I was only saying that...

You know, every now and then
if you get close to one another...

Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I know what you were saying.

But, I mean, what I'm saying is

what did you mean by it?

Well, I didn't mean anything
that would set you off, you know.

I'm just talking.
I'm not set off.

I'm just saying,
just tell me what you meant by it

and we'll just drop
the whole subject.

But you see,
you're taking it personally.

I'm not taking it personally. I
can tell you're taking it personally.

I don't even want
to talk about it.

I'm not gonna apologize.

Just let it go. All right?

Apologize? What?

[BOTH ARGUING]
