Story: Roy and Johnny argue over whether the
truth should always be told. A young man attempts a high dive off a roof, into a pool, and
misses. A newlywed couple is involved in a gas explosion, an elderly blind man and
his infant grandson are trapped in a burning house, and a boy with conflicting symptoms is
brought into Rampart.
Goofs: (1) Johnny's driving when they
leave the station but Roy's driving when they arrive? (How did I miss this one! LOL)
(2) When Johnny's giving oxygen the kid that jumped off the roof…(a) his arms look
awfully hairy to be Mantooth's & (b) on the close-up shots he's holding the mask in
his right hand but in the other shots, it's his left. (3) In the first rescue when
Roy gets out of the squad he gets his jacket out of his side. Then when he puts it away
when they are through he puts it on John's side. (4)
When the young man jumps off the roof of building into pool and
injures himself --Roy take his scissors out of his pouch and puts them on the deck. Next,
after the guys have wrapped the gauze around victims head and back board, Roy pulls out
his scissors out of his pouch again to cut the gauze. (5) Johnny is in the
pool with the victim strapped to a backboard. Roy and Johnny receive orders to drop an
EGTA/EOA. They do this while Johnny and the victim are still in the pool. When the
ambulance crew arrives with the stretcher the patient is moved to the stretcher. During
the move, we noticed that the EGTA/EOA was not in place anymore. (6) When Johnny is
bringing the baby down the stairs and falls, you can see the baby's head roll across the
floor. Also for as spotless as they keep that station, notice the refrigerator after Roy
moves his hand down it in the last scene of the episode.
