Winettka and Sapulveda.


Time out, 0935.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

All units with Engine 123,
cancel.


Battalion 9, Engine 123 reports
this was an accidental fire alarm


activated by a Samoan
fire-dancer's torch.


[WHISTLING]

[EXCLAIMING]

Anything I should know about?

Just stations up for bids,
captains exams, things like that.

Hey, you went out
for track, didn't you?

Huh?

You're going out, aren't you?

I mean, you're trying
out for the team.

What?

The department team.

This is the state-wide Fireman's Olympics,
this summer.

Oh.

Yeah, sure.

Why not? Yeah, maybe.

What was your event?

The 440 and the mile relay.

I just read the events this
morning. They're both wide open.

Yeah, well,
it's been a long time.

You were a star, right?

I was pretty good,
but I wasn't a star.

What'd they used to call you?

You showed me that clipping,
remember?

"John Gage,
the Galloping Greyhound."

The Galloping Greyhound!

It was a high school
newspaper, Chet!

I don't know why you have
to stop and think about it.

Because I don't want to make
a fool out of myself. That's why.

John, what did you
run the 440 in?



Not bad. Not bad at all.

I think you ought to do it out of
loyalty to the department, if nothing else.

Roy, I'm in no kind of shape. I'd have
to work like a horse to get into condition.

You're fine! I'm not!

You are in great shape.

I am...
Look at the build on him.

He is like a greyhound.
Will you stop?

The Galloping Greyhound.

[ALARM SOUNDING]

DISPATCHER: Station 51,
traffic accident with injuries.


2751 West Oakmont.


Cross street: Valley.

Also, a second call reports another
accident, one half block away.


Time out, 0941.

STANLEY: Station 51, KMG 365.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[HORN HONKING]

He went down this way.

Yeah. And he was coming
like a bat out of hell.

He had a big truck,
blowing his horn.

What've we got?

He took a cr*ck on his arm.

I mean, I was trying to take
a left-hand turn here.

I only live a couple of
blocks down the street.

Why don't you sit over
here and just take a load off?

I mean,
look what the guy did to my car!

You guys can handle this. Okay,
Vince.

Did you hit your head
or anything?

No, no. Nothing at all?

I mean, he swiped into me
and he just kept right on going.

Okay, does this hurt?

Ah! Yeah.

Oh, listen, are you having trouble moving
your head or moving your legs or anything?

No, no, no. I'm all right.

What do we have? Looks
like he's got a broken arm.

Well, we'll handle it. You
get into that other one.

[SIGHS] All right.

Marco, first-aid kit.
Man, oh, man.

[SIREN WAILING]

[SIRENS WAILING]

DISPATCHER ON RADIO:


toxic chemicals are stored
in a tanker.


Use caution.

KELLY ON RADIO: Squad 51,
this is Rampart. Can you send me some EKG?


JOHNNY ON RADIO:


We're sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow.


Pulse is 160. The victim
is in extreme pain, Rampart.


[INTERCOM BEEPING]

This patient is in V-fib.

Rampart, we have lost the
victim's pulse. Beginning CPR.


[RAPID BEEPING]

We're defibrillating victim,
Rampart.


Rampart, we've defibrillated
victim. Decent sinus rhythm.


JOE ON RADIO: Administer 2 amps
sodium bicarb and insert an airway.


KELLY ON RADIO: Start an IV,


DIXIE: Squad 51, continue monitoring
Vitals and transport immediately.


JOHNNY ON RADIO:
We're on our way, Rampart.


[SIREN WAILING]

Back off!

Fire Department!

Okay, come on.

Hey, look!

You push, we'll pull.

All right, wait a second.
Let me open it, it's locked.

Ready? Go!

[GRUNTS]

Thanks! Couldn't
get it open myself.

Are you hurt badly?

No, I don't think
I got any scratches.

I'm just caught in here somehow.

Do you wanna put that away?

Hey, look, I got about
$238,000 in the back here.

Okay, just take it easy. Put
it back in your holster, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

I'll get a hold of the belt.

Okay, I'm gonna lift.

Okay, I'm gonna
release your seat belt.

You ready? Okay, yeah.

Okay, hold on to
the steering wheel.

Okay.

Gonna lift you up.
It's a good thing...

It's a good thing
I got the thing on because...

Easy.

A good thing!

[EXCLAIMING]

All right.

Coming down that hill,
and then all of a sudden I had no brakes!

Yeah. I was pumping, but...

God! No good.

Are you sure you're
not hurt any place?

No, no, I'm fine.

You think you can get up? Oh,
yeah, sure.

Okay, let's try. It's all right.

[GROANING] What's the matter?

Let me see. Let me
check. Your knee?

Oh, yeah.

Are you hurt any place else?

No.

Are you sure? All right.

Easy on that. You think you
can slide over here to the edge?

Yeah. We'll get
you down this way.

Yeah, no problem. Okay.

Take it easy on
the knee. All right.

Try and keep it straight,
all right? Straight? Okay.

All right, now, can you just slide
down onto our shoulder, okay?

Okay.

Take it easy, now. All right.

You can grab a hold
of our shoulders.

Ready, now.

Hey, easy.

Straighten out. There
we go! There we go!

[EXCLAIMS IN PAIN]

You got it? Thank you, yeah.

Okay. I'll get the
gear. All right.

Get the g*n now. Okay.

Okay, let's go over there,
huh? Okay.

I was trying to shift down
but I was going too fast.

And all of a sudden,
I was in traffic.

All right,
easy. Let me get over on that side of you.

Okay.

Okay. Thanks. All right, easy.

Hey! I think I hit
a car over there!

Hey, look, don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. Ls
there anybody else in there?

Jim,
he's in the back! Hey! Hold on!

Easy, easy-

Hey!

Hey! Can you hear me?

You got a key?

Not on a shipment
that size, sir.

Well, how did you get in there?

Can't Jim open it for you?

He's out cold. I don't know
what kind of injuries he's got.

Well, who's got the key?

The office.
The office has got it.

Well, how long will it be before
they can get out here with one?

Rampart,
this is Squad 51. Do you read?

About a half-hour.

This is Rampart.
Read you loud and clear.

Right, we have a vehicle
accident here with two victims.

One victim is not
immediately accessible.

How do you identify this truck?

He's unconscious and...



We can't determine
any injuries at this time.

The other victim has
a cut over the left eye,

nothing severe,
and a possible broken kneecap.

Stand by for vitals.

You just take it easy.

Vince, we've got almost a quarter
of a million dollars in this truck

and we've got an
injured man inside.

And we're gonna have to
try to break in if we can.

I better call for more units.

Yeah.

LA, Squad 51.

We need another ambulance
at 29th and Oakmont.

Advise Benjamin Armored
Transport that their truck,



has been involved in a
traffic accident at this location.

We've got an injured man inside,
we're gonna have to try to break in.

Can you ask them which is the best
way to do it? Already notified police.

DISPATCHER ON RADIO: Squad 51.

STANLEY: LA, Engine 51, I copy. We'll
be at that location in about two minutes.


DISPATCHER: Engine 51.

MIKE: 51, how soon will you
have the other victim?


I don't know, Rampart. He's
locked inside of an armored truck.

All right, 51,
we'll stand by for the other victim.

[BANGING] 10-4, Rampart,
we'll transport as soon as possible.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Hey! You all right?

I got through the porthole,
but I can't reach the bolt on the door.

Is the bottom plated?

Look, is the bottom
of that thing plated?

Yeah. What about the top?

You better wait for the key.

[sums]

It's plated!

All right,
we got a possible broken left kneecap here,

so take it easy,

and we got another one in the
back there. You guys got him?

Okay. Hey, hey-

Hope you get Jim out okay.

We will. Take care. Good.

How you doing?

[GRUNTING]

Watch the foot.

[GROANS]

Gotcha.

Terrific.

LA, Engine 51 is
in 29th and Oakmont.

Think you could get that
asbestos blanket in here?

Yeah.

Better pull down the reel line,
just in case.

DISPATCHER: Squad 51, Benjamin
Armored Transport says a man will be there


in about 25 minutes with a key.

If you can't wait, they suggest
cutting or burning through the roof


around the ventilator,
or cutting through the bolt,


which is approximately 3 inches long,
in the rear door.



about our best bet.

All right.

Cap!

Yeah, how bad is he?

We don't know yet. We
haven't been able to get to him.

We're gonna have to cut
through. Probably the door.

[SIREN WAILING]

Got it? Yeah, got it.

He's alive.

Dix, I'm going into 3 to
set up that truck driver.

Okay, Mike.

[WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA]

Have you noticed
anything about Dr. Morton?

No.

He seems awfully preoccupied.

Maybe.

I was having lunch
with the girl at GYN.

She said she was at the credit union
last week and Dr. Morton was there.

He seemed very upset.

From what she could hear, it was the
second or third time he'd been there.

Anne.

If Dr. Morton has difficulties,
which I rather doubt,

that's his business, not ours.

Seems like such a nice man.

Actually,
it was a pretty unique experience,

walking around on 230-some
odd thousand dollars,

just like they were pillowcases.

Check your feet?
That's the first thing I did.

And? Nothing stuck.

How are they?

The driver's going to be okay.

But Dr. Brackett and Dr. Early
are in with the other guy.

All right.

Hey, Dix, what do you think of a
guy that can run like a greyhound

not trying out for the track
team? All right! Hey, cut it out.

I told you I want to think about
it. I just want to think about it.

Thought you guys would wanna know,
the guard has a pretty bad skull fracture.

There is no question.
Even without the x-rays.

He's lost a lot of blood,
but I think he's gonna be all right.

Dix, Dr. Hillier says he'll be
down as soon as we get the x-rays.

See you guys. See you later.

Is that everything?

I think so, let me check.

Do you know
Dr. Morton very well?

Yeah. Sort of, yeah.

I was just wondering if he might've
said something to either of you.

About what?

Well, apparently he's
in a lot of trouble.

I don't think he'd
say anything to us.

Lidocaine. We don't
have any lidocaine.

I haven't heard anything directly,
but it's pretty definite.

He's in financial difficulties.
Severe financial difficulties.

Well, you saw how he lit up
when you mentioned money.

Yes. Sorry to hear that.

He's a good person.

A fine doctor.

I wouldn't be surprised
if it was something desperate.

Please, help, someone!

Please, somebody, a doctor!
Please! A doctor!

What's the story?

According to his mother,
he came into the house crying.

He was nauseated
and then he passed out.

How long ago? 20, 30 minutes.

What's the pressure? 90 over 60.

Give me that O2 there, please.

We better get a CBC
and electrolytes on him, too.

Dix, get Dr. Brackett
for me, please.

Pressure's low.

Pulse is 120 and he's
having trouble breathing.

Dix said he felt nauseous,
then passed out.

Yeah.

The venous blood is bright red.

And his mucous membranes
are very pink.

Both of his pupils are
dilated and non-reactive.

And his muscles are
completely relaxed.

Smells bitter.

I think he swallowed cyanide.

Yeah.

Amyl nitrite, Dix.

Kel filled me in, Joe.

Sodium nitrite IV, 10 cc.


You wanted the slow injection?

Also, I want 50 cc's
of sodium thiosulfate IV.

Cyanide? But...

That's what the
symptoms indicate.

I can't imagine where Dan would
get a hold of anything like that.

Where was your son, say,
for two hours before he got sick?

With me.

He was out back,
playing by himself.

He is going to be
all right, isn't he?

We're doing everything we can.

It'd be a big help if we knew
for sure what the problem was.

Do you keep any pesticides?

We keep some trees.

An avocado, a couple
of peaches, an apple tree.

Al, my husband,
he's strictly organic.

What about rodent K*llers?

No.

Keep anything around the house,
like polishes or cleansers?

Never.

Even Al will tell you,
I always read the labels before I buy them.

But you wait, he'll try
and blame me for this.

What does your husband do?

Salesman.

Anything to do with chemicals?

He sells shoes.

Are you sure it's cyanide?

As sure as I can be
until we get the lab report.

Could your son have gotten out of the yard,
say, into the alley?

For a minute or two, possibly.

Maybe he picked up something
out of the neighbor's trash.

Danny wouldn't do that.

Well, he ate or drank something.

Somewhere.

Have you found out anything yet?

No.

Have you checked
through his clothing?

I'm doing that right now.

He seems to be improving.

I haven't seen one
of these in years.

Basket made from a peach seed.

That's not a peach seed. It's a
peach pit. The seed's inside of that.

Well, whatever.
My brother used to carve.

Peach seeds are soft enough to eat.
And they contain a fair amount of cyanide.

How many would it take?

A youngster his age,
more than one. 4, 5, maybe.

Take a look.

You know this
Fireman's Olympic thing?

You want to know
why I'm hesitating?

I made my pitch,
it's entirely up to you now.

I'll tell you why. Because the


It's like the 100-yard dash,
but only, it's four times as long.

You're pouring it on.
It's a k*ller.

Why did you go out for it?

You know why I went out for it.

A girl.

There was this girl.
She dug athletes.

You know?

I knocked myself out
for two solid years for her.

For what it's worth,
you go out for this track meet

and you even do halfway decent,

you're gonna be the hero to
every guy in the department.

Yeah?

Sure.

Not quite the same thing.

Kel.

Thanks, Dix.

He's got a large
mid-frontal fracture.

His head must have hit the
windshield when the car turned over.

Carol, set up a spinal tap tray.

You know if he has
any relatives here?

I'll find out.

This is Ms. McCall.

Is there anybody out there
for a Charles Johnson?

Yes. Mrs. Johnson is waiting
in the archway in a blue dress.

WOMAN ON PA: Dr. Campbell,
outside call, please.


Dr. Campbell, outside call, please.

Mrs. Johnson?

Yes, yes, how's Charlie?

Well, he's still unconscious.

The doctor hasn't finished
his examination yet.

But he's getting
the best of care.

It happened practically in front of
our house. He was on his way to work.

Mrs. Johnson,
we need your consent.

It will save time for
the medical procedures.

Now, this is the form,
if you could just...

He'll want surgery?

Well, possibly,
and some of the examination itself.

Ms. McCall?

Excuse me.

This woman says
she's Mrs. Johnson.

Mrs. Charles Johnson?

Yes.

From Norwalk?

Pasadena.

Well, I think you must want
somebody else. Excuse me.

Now,

just let me explain this
to you. It's just routine.

I'm sorry, I'm just so upset.
I can't even seem to read it.

Excuse me.
I'm a little confused.

She says there's only been one
Charles Johnson admitted today.

Well, I called his office and
they said he'd been in an accident

a little over an hour ago.

That his car had
been hit by a truck.

Yes, my husband's was, too.
I had a neighbor

call his office.

Who are you?

Mrs. Charles Johnson.

He always calls me the
minute he gets in off the road.

But when I didn't
hear from him...

Wait a minute.

Your husband travels?

Quite a lot.

For ANK Plastics?

Yes.

Charles K. Johnson.

For Keno yer.

Oh, this is weird.

I mean,
this has got to be some kind of mix-up.

Well, the Charles Johnson
we're treating is about


weighs about 180.

Does he have
an appendicitis scar?

Well, I think he does...
Yes. He does.

This is awful.
I can't believe it.

Well, I don't know
exactly what to do.

Legally, I need his
next of kin's consent.

Yes, well, I've been married
to him for seven years.

A little over a year.

July 10th?

The 11th.

And he took you to Las
Vegas on your honeymoon?

How did you know?

Just had to be.

He told me he was going to a
convention and a regional sales meeting.

[SIGHS] Well.

I guess that explains why he hasn't
been bringing home his dirty laundry.

Do you have any children?

A boy and a girl.

Well, if you've been married for
seven years, I guess you're the, uh,

first next of kin.

[sum-nus] Yes, well,

I don't really know
that I want to sign that.

Me either.

Well,
what happens if neither one of us signs it?

We'd have to get two other
doctors to examine him.

It would mean quite a delay.

No.

Let's both sign it.

It'll get Charlie back on his
feet just as soon as possible.

Thank you.

You'll let us know how he is?

I will.

And when he can have visitors?

Well, that won't
be for a few days.

We'd like to talk to him.

Yeah.

New, the man 'm A. German.

Has he been in before? Oh, yes.

Alcoholic?

Yes, GI bleeder.

Anything unusual this time?

Not this time.

[CHATTERING]

Six? Yeah.

Do you have the chart on Warner?

Thank you.

I'd like to avoid doing a tap,
so I've been keeping an eye on her.

Yeah, I can see right here.

How long has she been like this?

About a week.

Mike.

Kel wants to see
you in his office.

All right, thank you, Dixie.

Mike.

He said right away.

Thank you, Dix.

Joe, this is Dr. Warner.

[ALL CHATTERING]

I've got to see Kel. Would
you give him a hand with this?

She's got a ruptured... I'd like
to have you take a look at her.

I guess we could.

Okay, let's go see her.

[GIGGLES]

He was wearing it on his head.

It was the silliest thing
I ever saw.

I wonder what Dr. Brackett
wants with Dr. Morton.

Dr. Morton?

Yeah.

I wouldn't be surprised if
it was something serious.

Oh?

You know, they won't let him
have any money at the credit union.

Really?

But there's usually no trouble
getting a loan from them.

I know. Unless you're
in hock up to here.

I remember one of the men in the
cafeteria that was in so much trouble

that somebody tried
to garnishee his wages.

They had to let him go.
He'd been gambling.

You just never know
about people, do you?

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Come in.

What's up, Kel?
Something urgent?

No, no, sit down, Mike.

I have got a meeting
upstairs in 10 minutes,

and who knows what'

happen to the rest of the day.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Mike, this may be
none of my business.

In which case,
just tell me to butt out, okay?

Sure.

You know, sometimes a guy can go
around all buttoned up with a problem,

not realizing the resources
he has available to him.

In terms of other
people, friends.

I don't follow you, Kel.

I'm simply saying that if I can be
of any help, officially or unofficially...

With what?

Well, I...

I heard you were having
some financial trouble.

I'm in the process of buying a car and
there's a little foul-up on the paperwork.

Where would you get the idea
that I was having financial trouble?

Then you're not?

No.

Of course, if the hospital
wishes to give me a raise...

I'm sorry, Mike.

This is a little
embarrassing. I...

Oh, come on, there's
no harm done, really.

And besides,
a guy likes to know who his friends are.

I borrowed this stopwatch and I
went out to the high-school track.

And I, uh...

It was early in the morning,
you know, so nobody would see.

Iran a 440 all out, man,
I really poured it on.

What was your time?

Well, it wasn't bad, actually.

That's beautiful.
What'd I tell you?

Except,

I practically destroyed the
lower half of my anatomy, Roy.

I mean, right now, I hurt all the way
from my toe nails all the way up to my...

DISPATCHER: Station 51. Man

Station 51, KMG 365.

[SIREN WAILING]

[HORN HONKING]

See that? Roy and
Dan'
need a line.

Gil went up there to fix
his sign. I warned him.

Marco, you and Mike
throw a ladder up there.

I told him to get an
electrician. But he wouldn't.

He must've touched a wire and
got knocked out or something.

He hasn't moved
since it happened.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Okay.

He's alive.
Cap, contact Rampart.

Let's get the gear started.

He wouldn't listen. Had to save
himself the price of an electrician.

I'm getting a rapid pulse. We're gonna
have to get him down from here fast.

What're you doing?

Getting the hospital
on the radio.

Squad 51 to Rampart Emergency.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have the victim
of an electrical shock.


He's unconscious,
breathing with a weak, rapid pulse.

Cannot be treated in present location,
so please stand by.

DIXIE: 10-4, 51.

I'm not getting any pulse. Let's
get him down from here fast.

Set up a defibrillator, Cap.

Yep. Rampart, just went
into cardiac arrest.


Defibrillate immediately.

Repeat, defibrillate
immediately.


Negative, Rampart. Cannot be treated
in present location. So please stand by.

They've got four minutes
on the outside.

All right, set him down.

Got the paddles ready?

Watch his head. Watch his head.

Let's get this off of him.

Gel. Gel him for me.

Okay, hit him.

Clear. Clear.

Hit him again, hit him again.

I think we got him.

Rampart, this is Squad 51.

We've zapped him twice
and we got a pulse on him.

We're gonna be
sending you a strip.



him two amps sodium bicarb stat.

10-4.

How is he?

He's lucky, I guess.

Well, he should be
all right now.

How long was he in full arrest?

Couple of minutes, at the most.

You guys sure move fast
out there.

It was either that or
zap him on the ladder.

That would have been
a little tricky.

[CHUCKLES]

You never know until you try.

MIKE: You want to
take a deep breath, please.

Again.

That's good.

Let me know when the tests are up,
Dix.

All right, Doctor.

I think we're gonna have
you home in no time.

Thank you.

Nurse.

Mmm-hmm.

Could I have somebody
else take care of me?

Another doctor?

Well, I suppose, yes.

I just think I'd feel
more comfortable.

Dr. Morton's a very good doctor,
Mrs. Blaine.

It's just that I'd like somebody

more responsible.

What seems to be the problem?

Well, it's just that...

KELLY: Now, the electrolytes
are almost normal.

May I borrow your
office for a minute?

Sure, Dix.

A little personnel problem.

Anne, I want to talk to you.

ANNE: I didn't mean any harm.

No, of course not.

All you've been doing is telling
people that Dr. Morton is deeply in debt.

I didn't say that
was a certainty.

I said there was
a possibility of it.

You've discussed it with patients,
which is unforgivable.

And after I specifically told
you it was none of your business.

How long have you been a nurse?

Six years.

Then you ought to know that
you hear things and see things

about doctors and patients

that are very personal
and confidential.

And you just don't go
around repeating them.

Because you can do harm.

And I'm telling you to
cut it out right now.

I think I can talk
about whatever I want.

No, you can't, not here. And
not while you're working for me.

I won't tolerate it. Got it?

You keep bugging me about
this Fireman Olympic thing.

Why don't you try out for it?

Well, that's a different
matter altogether.

And why is it a different matter
altogether? You were on a team.

Swimming.

So? Why don't you try out?

I was never a star like you.
I was just one of the guys.

[SIRENS WAILING]

Boys, just cover exposures.
Don't move in until I give the word!

I'm the supervisor here.
Can I help you in any way?

Yeah, what've you got in there?

Amyl, tetryl. Primer stuff,
mostly. Hydroxaline, chlorates.

How bad? Are we gonna
have to evacuate the area?

Well, if the whole sh**ting match goes up,
maybe 100 yards.

Yeah, okay, thanks.

LA, Engine 51, we have a
chemical plant here well-involved.

I want a second alarm.

Also, ambulance and police
for evacuation.

MAN: Engine 51.

Here, lay down. Just lay
down. Watch your head, now.

Okay, just lay down. There
we go. Lay your head back.

All right, where are you hurt?

I was in the next building
when the whole door blew out.

Okay, but where are you hurt?

I don't know, I...

[SIREN WAILING]

Bill, I want you to lay duals.
Hit that south exposure, okay?

All right.

Everybody out?

Yeah, I think so.

You better make sure.
Take a head count.

All right.

All right.

Are you hurt? I'm all right.

Roy, what've you got?

Got a couple of minor
burns here, I think.

You need me over there?

No, I don't think so.
I think I got it.

Okay, I think you'll be okay.

How about you?
You hurt anywhere?

I'm all right. I've got
to go see about my car.

Okay, well, you forget
about that right now.

It's brand-new. It's in
the back parking lot.

If I'm okay,
I got to pull it out of there.

Rampart, Squad 51.
How do you read?

This is Rampart.
I read you loud and clear.

Rampart, we've got
an expl*si*n and a fire.


So far, there's three victims.

We'll need at least
one more ambulance.

None of the victims
are badly injured.

Mostly first-degree
burns and cuts.

We're going to transport
as soon as possible.


There may be some more,
so stand by.

Perry! Perry!

Perry. Has anybody seen Perry?

Hey, we got one man
still in there.

Cap, we're gonna need
some help over here.

How we doing over here?
Yeah, pretty good.

We got a man trapped in there.

Yeah?

Okay, let's go.

Engine 51, this is Engine 14.

We're going to lose exposure
here if we can't move in closer.


to let it go.

Engine 36, slight duals and protect
the west side. Try your monitor.

Engine 236, come to the front
of the building and assist.

Well, Cap,
he says there's a man trapped in there.

Yeah, he's in 102.

Oh, yeah? Could
he still be alive?

Well, nothing in 102's gone
up yet. But how'd we know it?

Can we go in? Any idea how
much time we might have?

I don't know, with all this heat,
that stuff's getting awful unstable.

Any shock, it's...
It's too unpredictable.

The faster we're in,
the faster we're out.

If that guy's still in there,
we can get him.

Let's go.

It's the first turn
off the hall.

Okay.

Let's go.

That's all the line.
We're gonna have to leave it.

Can you see anything back there?

Can you check back there?
Can you get back there, John?

MAN: Okay. Careful.

Nothing back there, Cap.

Okay, fine, let's stay together.

Hey, Cap,
I'll check over in here.

Roy, over here!

JOHNNY: All right,
grab his feet. All right.

Watch the corner.

We got him.

Let's get the hell out of here!

All right, easy around there.

[expl*si*n]

Easy.

Easy.

Watch out for this nozzle,
DeSoto!

Right, Cap!

[SIREN WAILING]

Where's Johnny?
He didn't come out?

Better go and get him. Yeah.

[JOHNNY COUGHING]

Johnny!

Johnny! Yeah!

Over here. ROY: Come on,
let's get out of here.

What happened?

I made a wrong turn.

Where now?

ROY: Down here to the left.

Make it quick,
this whole place is ready to blow.

All right.

[expl*si*n]

For a swimmer,
you're a pretty fast runner, you know that?

I just need the right incentive.

I tell you what,
I'll make you a deal.

I'll try out for the
Olympics on one condition.

That you do, too.

Well, I guess that leaves
us both out.

They haven't got my event.

What's that?

Blind dash in a
state of total panic.
