There's my girl right there.
Oh god.
Little Mama.
What's up, Little Mama?
Tell her we're running?
$10?
I don't have any money.
[laughter]
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're just trying to help, try
to give her a couple of dollars here
and there, encourage her to stay out of trouble.
You safe, you doing good?
You got a place to stay tonight?
Yeah?
Listen, we got to get out of here.
You behave yourself, OK? Be safe.
All right?
Behave yourself, OK?
She's just kind of somebody that we've adopted.
I can't help but love her.
- She goes, hey, I need $10. - I know.
[banter] - Last summer.
It was least $5.
[laughter]
[bell ringing]
Engine 4 is calling for us to check out
a patient who has a rapid heart rate after being
attacked in Newport City.
Rescue 4 is on scene.
What's up?
[bleep]
Where's your shirt, man?
I didn't want sex, they got mad.
I was jumped by all of them.
Little Mama, the real small girl?
Yeah, that's Little Mama, I know her.
Little Mama saved the day. I'll be danged.
I'm going to put this around your head real quick.
It's just oxygen, it's going to help you breathe
a little bit better, all right?
Right now, you need to get 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.
Rush report.
Transport one patient.
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?
Right now, I'm just worried about your heart rate.
Take some deep breaths, nice and slow, nice and easy.
Do 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.
OK.
Take some deep breaths, nice and slow, nice and easy.
In through your nose, out through your mouth, right?
Nice deep breaths.
We're pulling in now, OK, buddy?
You need to file a report and get a no contact order,
get a restraining order on it?
I admire him for not being afraid to file
a report against his attackers.
You'll be all right, man.
A lot of people do not want to press charges
when these things happen.
Your heart rate is slowing down a little bit,
so that's good.
Your blood pressure is down, so just calming down a little bit
is helping you out there.
Prognosis is pretty good.
He does have a few bumps and bruises.
Physically, he's going to be OK.
That was a very emotional call.
I'll tell you what my heart rate would be if--
My heart would be at 220.
That's my point.
That's crazy stuff right there, dude.
You don't need to be tormented like that.
A lot of times, victims of sexual abuse
are afraid or embarrassed to come forward.
It's never OK to be treated that way,
and I'm glad he asked for help.
Glad we were there for him.
All right, let's go see if Little
Mama is standing out there.
She's probably ready to fight now, dude.
Oh yeah.
She's like I was going to whoop somebody.
[laughter]
[music playing]
There she is.
Good girl.
There she is.
Hey, Little Mama. Come here.
What's up, baby?
You see that guy get in a fight down there off 15?
He said that you saved him.
You've been a hero, Little Mama.
She was able to scare off his attackers tonight,
so I guess you could say Little Mama was this Little Angel.
Are you behaving yourself?
You're doing good?
[laughter]
She just laughs at it.
All right, Mama, I'll see you later.
[music playing]
I can't help but love her, I don't know why.
