Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsLook closely at Laurie's shoes when Terry helps her out of the car. It flashes by pretty quickly, but as she's walking with Terry, it's obvious that her shoes are white, or light-colored. However, when she's lying on the floor inside the store, her shoes are now partially black.
- Quotes
Officer Terry Webster: [Officer Terry Webster is on the phone to 911 inside the convenience store where the robbery took place. The store owner was shot and the suspect's girlfriend is partially lying on the floor, about to give birth] Let's have an ambulance... gunshot victim and woman in labour. Pull out all the stops.
[Terry hangs up the phone and proceeds to help both the gunshot victim, Mr Marapolous, and the pregnant woman, Laurie]
Officer Terry Webster: [Laurie is very close to giving birth and is screaming and writhing in agony. Terry is the only person in the store who can assist the two people in distress. He goes to Laurie first] Hold on for a minute, ok? Just hold on a minute...
[Terry is on his hands and knees; he slides over the floor to Mr Marapolous and his wife and checks the man's wound. He lays a comforting hand on the man's arm and speaks calmly to his wife]
Officer Terry Webster: He's gonna be all right. Uh, bring some blankets... towels and a blanket, ok?
[Terry, still on his hands and knees, scoots back over to help Laurie]
Officer Terry Webster: [Laurie continues screaming and thrashing about. Terry, his voice low and assured, is speaking soothingly to her. He takes hold of Laurie's hands and tries to calm her down] Hold on... hold on, hey... we've never been here before, but I think it would go a lot better if we trust each other, ok? First of all, what's your name... what's your name?
Laurie Scott: [Laurie is in great distress and is fighting against Terry's ministrations. She's sweating profusely and is intermittently gasping and screaming. Terry is holding her hand; he gently places his other hand behind her neck to help her lie down] Laurie...
Officer Terry Webster: [Terry is trying in vain to get Laurie to lie down; she's still violently resisting him. He continues speaking to her in a soft, soothing voice to help calm her] Laurie, I'm Terry... I'm Terry. Breathe through your nose, not through your mouth; that way you won't dry up, ok?
[Terry finally succeeds in getting Laurie to lie down; he's holding both of her hands firmly in his, while she struggles against him. He calls out to Mrs Marapolous]
Officer Terry Webster: Let's have some sheets, bring some sheets also!
Officer Terry Webster: [Mrs Marapolous brings some sheets over to Terry, who continues coaching Laurie] When it starts coming... when it starts coming, try not to push till the very end. Concentrate on your breathing, like this... short, shallow breaths... like that, ok?
[Laurie continues writhing and is pushing against Terry. He's holding her hands and showing her how to pant. He places a folded towel behind her head]
Officer Terry Webster: [Laurie is still screaming and is breathing hard. Terry is still offering his soft, comforting words in his ongoing effort to help her] If you want to scream, go ahead and scream. You're having a baby! This is your day! Isn't it beautiful?
[Terry places a sheet over Laurie and smiles at her encouragingly]
Officer Terry Webster: Keep your eyes open... that's right... keep your eyes open. Focus on me... that's it... that's it... isn't it beautiful?
[Terry smiles at her once more]
Officer Terry Webster: [Terry is now kneeling over Laurie, who is delivering her baby at this moment. She's still thrashing about, fighting against Terry, who is holding both her hands. Mrs Marapolous is helping Terry, by wiping Laurie's face] Not yet... pant... pant... that's it... that's it... that's it... that's it.
[Terry releases her hands so he can assist in delivering the baby. Laurie screams and throws out her arms in agony; Terry requests Mrs Marapolous's help]
Officer Terry Webster: Take her hands... take her hands... easy...
[the baby arrives and Terry smiles]
Officer Terry Webster: Ah, wow, look at that... look at that... .
Theresa: [Mrs Marapolous looks at Terry in amazement] The baby... the baby is coming.
[the ambulance arrives]
This is an exciting and action-packed episode with a lot of tension and suspense and a couple of nice shootouts too.
This is the third episode already this season where Webster is targeted by an assassin. I think it's safe to say that story line has been exhausted at this point and it's time to move on to something else.
Andrew Robinson is the perfect choice to play Kempson, the assassin. He really excels at playing creepy maniacs and this time is no exception. He played the serial killer that went up against Clint Eastwood in the original Dirty Harry movie. Ronne Troup is terrific as Laurie Scott, Kempson's boyfriend. It's quite an emotional performance and she really nails it.
Of course, as usual the weakness is Ryker, who once again was talking about his ulcers and was yelling and barking out orders and just acting like an all-around jerk. I really can't stand this guy.
Another thing I didn't like is when Laurie's parents stated at the end that they changed their mind about Laurie because Ryker came by and talked to them. Anyone in their right mind would have thrown that grouch out on his ear if he was ranting and raving like he always does and it's unrealistic anyone would sit and listen to his nonsense in their own home, so I just didn't buy this.
Owens is absent from this one except for a brief appearance in the opening scene.
So overall, this is a really good episode.
