How come you're here already? Is my watch slow?
No, I just think it's gonna be a beautiful day.
I've been working on punctuality, Jon.
Trying to improve myself.
Hi. Denver 11. 7?
Got it. Yours?
Fine. Bye.
Uh, don't tell me. It's a code.
Uh, secret agent?
No, stewardess.
She said, "I'm flying to Denver tonight at 11.
Pick me up at seven."
I said, "Your place?" She said, "Fine."
- Very simple. - Hmm.
Punctuality, huh?
Improving yourself.

Motor carrier out at divisions
ordered an escort for these trucks.
I need three volunteers.
[both] Uh, he'll go.
[sighs] Okay, Poncherello, Baker..
'...Turner.'
Okay, now here's your, uh, primary route.
'I sent Baricza on ahead to check it out.'
He was on escort and brought the trucks this far
so, he knows the routine.
Seems like old times, don't it, Charley?
Yeah.
Get ready to roll.
Alright.
"Deliver this load," he said.
Then he'd sell out and quit.
Well, we can't deliver it here.
Here's the secondary route, it's all back roads.
There won't be much congestion or heavy traffic.
Yeah, why aren't the trucks safe here?
You put chlorine in your swimming pool, right?
Oh, all the time.
Yeah, well, they're full of chlorine gas.
And chlorine gas is different.
Heat could set them off, an ember from the fires.
Very unstable.
Burt...should we get 'em rolling?
We're moving the trucks to the Owens Valley Depot, Charley.
"Owens Valley Depot?"
That's a 140 miles from here...in the heat of the day.
Tanks will be ready by the time you get there.
I know, I know, just like your tanks were supposed to be ready.
We drive all night to get here when it's cool what do we find?
Now, wait a minute, Charley, I didn't set the place on fire.
And Owens Valley is the closest place
with facilities to handle chlorine gas.
Oh, this is Charley Davis, Davis Trucking.
- 'Sergeant, uh..' - Getraer.
Officers Baker, Poncherello, Turner.
Alright, let's get one thing straight between us.
Those trucks are mine.
The stuff they're loaded with is deadly.
It's my job to get them through.
Now, I don't mind you guys coming along
to protect the public.
It's for your protection too.
I don't need your protection.
I take care of me and mine.
Well, you're gonna have a little help today.
Let's get 'em on the road.
Oh! Uh..
Oh, sorry, I didn't..
I know.
Expect to find a girl driving a truck.
'Well, come to the party, officer.'
We're even votingnowadays.
You know, I've been handling these rigs since I was 16
so I've heard every put-down there is.
'No matter what you were gonna say.'
I was gonna say, "I'm sorry.
'I didn't look where I was walking."'
But, uh, I'm not that sorry.
Prettiest little truck driver I ever met.
Oh, women are everywhere, Jon.
They even lettin' 'em vote.

There'll be someone here in a minute, alright?
Just hang in there.

- Is there anything we can do? - Yeah.
You can check around for any more injuries.
Ambulances are on their way.
Come on, Robbie.
Your statement's needed and it will be taken
but in the meantime you just sit down here
in your car, okay?
- Alright. - Here we go.
Just take it easy.
That, uh, sheriff had a prisoner in his car.
He did?
He did.
And, uh, he's escaping.
Hey, hold it right there!

'You couldn't throw a couple of hot dogs, no?'
Had to throw fillets,top sirloins. What's the matter?
You born with a silver spoon in your mouth?
Hey, uh, how much longer?
About 30 minutes.
That's too long.
Look, you did what you could here
now let's get moving.
Well, we might have to do that, Mr. Davis
but, uh, we'll decide that.
Now, listen, Baker
all I got left in this world is my daughter
my friend, and them three trucks there.
'I'm not gonna stand around and take a chance'
'on one of them things leaking'
'or maybe even blowing up.'
Now, you make up your mind to move.
'And you make it up fast.'
[sighs]
Don't take it out on the cops, pop.
They're only doing their job.
Hey...and I'm only doing mine.
I mean, I get paid to deliver.
Time is money to me.
Money is a... a better life for you.
You're my daughter, Robbie, I owe you that.
Come on, pop.
The truth of it is if I speak my mind
like you taught me to you don't need the money.
You don't need these trucks.
Now, you promised to sell out and retire.
That, if you owe me anything, is what you owe me.
Hey, Robbie.
Robbie, I-I can't.
I can't quit. It's in my blood.
It's time to face it.
Look, driving is what I do.
I'm a driver. It's what I am.
It's my life.
'For you.'
'You, it's different.'
Robbie, I want you out.
So I said I would quit.
It's the only time I ever lied to you, baby.
It's the only time I didn't believe you.
Robbie..
...I want you to make this your last trip.
Are you kidding?
I love what I'm doing.
Besides, I got it made.
I'm the boss' daughter.
We've called in all the equipment in the area
but it's still gonna take about a half an hour
to clear this up.
If you stay here and take the reports
uh, we'll take the alternate route.
Right.
Get them turned around, okay?
Okay.
Uh, Baricza called ahead to Plackerville.
We might have a little problem.
Make us even later getting back.
What, are you thinking about your date?
Uh, the one with the stewardess?
Right. You remember, Jon.
She's not hard to remember.
She's a health nut, a vegetarian.
She eats sunflower seeds, wheat germ oil
'mung beans, lives with her folks'
doesn't drink or smoke... doesn't even dance.
Yeah, well, uh..
...what are you gonna do?
I don't know.

[music continues]
Turner, you'd better slow 'em down!
We're gonna have to stop!
Maybe they wanna give us the keys to the city, huh?
Uh, this here the convoy
that's carrying the chlorine gas?
That's correct.
Uh, you got an encroachment permit, let me see it.
Well, the, uh, circumstances didn't require it.
It's an emergency. We gotta move.
Well, you're not gonna move through here.
'Now, we read about it almost every day.'
Some train jumps off the track
some truck overturns
people driven from their homes, people killed
'because they let some outfit like this one'
bring poison through their town.
We're not gonna have it. No, sir!
Turn around and go back the way you came.
Let me through, I'll settle this.
Hold it, Mr. Davis. I said hold it!
Now, the situation's bad enough
without you trying to outshout the town.
Now, I will physically
restrain you if I have to.
Look, you got a dirty job, and I sympathize
'but I got ordinances to enforce.'
I'm telling you officially
you can't go through.
[intense music]
Mr. Davis has been explaining to me
about the pressures in those tanks.
'The airflow holds the temperature down'
while we're moving, but the longer they stay
in the heat of the sun
the more dangerous it gets, am I right?
Right.
Now, we don't endanger people
we protect them.
We're talking about the quickest
and safest way to get this done.
Why can't you just turn around?
If we go through town, it'll take half as long
and it'll be half as dangerous.
You're putting us in a box.
Listen, I'm gonna deliver those trucks
to the Owens Valley Depot for the good of all.
'Now, I can get an encroachment permit.'
'It'll take an hour by teletype.'
I'm asking you not to insist on that hour.
Lots of damage on the road ahead
after those storms we had.
Yeah, I've driven it. Is it passable?
It's mighty rough.
So is life.
Alright, you can go through town
but make it quick.
Let's go home.
The way that Poncherello talks to you, I could slap him.
Well, don't.
Why not?
One, he may slap you back.
And two is you may never see him again.
What's wrong?
My father likes you.
Well, don't blame me for that.
[chuckles] I don't believe it.
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
[sputtering]
- Hey, Robbie, you okay? - No.
I've got a nosey father.
And my engine's acting up.
[music continues]
Hold it, folks. We're gonna to have to stop.
Mary-3 and 4, we have an 11-25 up here.
10-4, Turner. We'll 11-98 you.

Where is it written an officer does manual labor?
Like you said, Ponch, it's a beautiful day.
[Turner sighs]
[engine revving]
[thud]
[engine revving]
[clanging]
What is it, Robbie?
I don't know. It may be the fuel pump.
Well, if you need any help, give me a holler, hear?
Okay.
Where's Robbie?
Well, last I saw, she was
exactly where you'd expect to find any high-minded..
...pretty little thing like her.
Under the hood of a diesel truck.
Fixing an engine.
Yeah.
[clangs]
[hissing]
[hissing continues]
[coughing]
- Hi. - Howdy.
Thought you'd be a road crew up here.
Third slide up here this week.
Uh.
[coughing]
Pop! Pop!
[coughing]
Hey...come on. Up...up!
It ain't gonna work, fellas.
[indistinct chattering]
Hey, Turner, why don't you go get
your car, help us out.
- Okay? - 'Okay.'
Ponch, Jon! It's Robbie!
Robbie.
Robbie!
[coughing]
'Grab her legs.'
Grab her.
- Easy, easy. - I got her.
Robbie..
[all coughing]
- Is it still leaking? - I don't know.
Okay, everybody, get back to the car.
Come on, come on.
[coughing]
Let's get out of here!
We found the leak, you better check the valve
and make sure it's closed.
Give me that.
Hey, uh, you know where a helicopter
can land around here?
We had one at the camp road turnoff last year
about six miles.
Okay, Turner, why don't you get on the horn
'and call for a chopper?'
If she doesn't get oxygen
she's gonna suffocate.
Okay.
We got an emergency oxygen kit back at the camp.
'There's no one there, though.'
Well, how do you get there?
It's nine miles by the road
but only a mile by this path.
Can I make it by motor?
It's been done on a trail bike.
Headquarters building. Inside in the rear.
The medical closet.
Hey, I don't have the keys, but..

Excuse me.

- 10-2, Ponch. - I have the oxygen.
I can be there in five minutes. What do you say?
10-4, Ponch. That's the quickest thing to do. Come on back.
[instrumental music]
[tires screeching]

Okay, Turner, take it.
Honey, help her in the car.
I know how to use it.
[Jon] Excuse me.
Okay, Turner, get out of here.
- Now, wait a minute. - Hey, get her out of here.
We got a job to do here. We got to get these trucks..
She has oxygen, Charley, and a medical team is flying in.
And we're one driver short.
Listen, nobody ever said I was good at it
but I can drive.
Come on, show me her truck.
Hold it, Baker.
Robbie's been having a little trouble with her truck.
Why don't you take mine, huh?
Come on, I'll show you.
Ponch, you take my motor, okay?
LA 15-7 Mary-4.
Send a motorcycle trailer to Eagle Pass Road.
My motor has a rear flat.
I'll stay with your bike until the officer
comes back with my wife.
You and your lady, uh, helped save a life.
You know that?
I'm glad we came along.
Thank you.
Warning lights.
Pressure gauges for the brakes.
And that's about it.
Any problems, I'm on the CB behind you.
- Alright. - Good luck, Baker.
Looking good up there, partner.
[helicopter whirring]
[instrumental music]
Baker, this is Charley.
She's starting to lug on you, shift down one, yeah?
Charley, this is Baker. That's a 10-4.
Hey, Charley, this is Baker.
What did I run over back there?
Piece of the mountain.
You look alright, though. How's your gauges?
Uh, the trailer gauge is wavering
a little, but there's no..
Yeah, I got a warning. It's the trailer.
Alright. Signal your partner.
[honking]
Hey, Charley, I'm gonna stop.
No, not till you find out what's wrong.
Watch your gauge.
'If it drops below 25'
'the trailer wheels lock, and you lose it.'
Yeah, but if this trailer goes over on one of these curves
we're gonna fill half the state with chlorine gas.
No, just hold it nice and steady like I tell you.
Have your partner check the glad hands
on the trailer right above the fifth wheel.
What's wrong?
I'm losing air pressure!
Check the glad hand couplings!
[intense music]
You lost your safety! Your trailer's pulling loose!
It's the fifth wheel, Charley.
I'm pulling apart.
How's your pressure?
Uh, it's a little under 30.
Tell your partner to climb aboard.
Should I slow down?
No, no, no.
She might run up your back.
Just keep off the brakes and don't touch the gears.
Just keep it smooth and steady.
10-4.
[intense music]
Hi there.
Be careful, partner.
[clangs]
Hey, one bump, and your trailer's gone, man.
How's the pressure, Baker?
A little below 30.
Uh, don't get too close.
I'll worry about how close I get.
[Charley on radio] 'If you lock up, I'll duck around you.'
Okay, now, Baker, I'm gonna come up
and try shoving your trailer back in place.
Have your partner ride the mounting step on your side.
[Charley on radio] 'I need someone to signal me.'
10-4.
When I get close, tell him to stand by
that safety pin handle, understand?
Understand?
Gotcha.
10-4.
[intense music]
Keep coming!
[music continues]
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
Ah, just as I thought.
When you hit the boulder back there
the whole shooting match jarred loose.
We got another nine miles.
Do you think it'll hold?
No reason why it shouldn't.
You fellas make a good team.
Yeah, well, if I don't hurry up and get his motor
it's gonna be a different story, so..
Hey, hold it.
That lady will give you a ride.
[instrumental music]
Whoo! Now that, my friend...is teamwork.
[chuckling]
[music continues]
You're here first again. I don't believe it.
Yeah, that's the problem when you're
the life-of-the-party type.
You say something serious
and people still think you're kidding.
You're really serious about this punctuality, huh?
I mean, uh, being on time.
Oh, I may miss an appointment or two in days to come
but never an important one.
Hi! Hi, Jon.
Hi there, uh, Robbie Davis.
You look great. How you doing?
Fine. Early?
Late.
After?
Great.
Okay, bye.
Don't tell me. She said, "You gonna be early tonight?"
And you said, "No, uh, you're gonna be working late."
So, she said, "Could you get together after?"
You said, "Great."
You're learning, Jon. You're learning.
I feel it all right here.
It's gonna be a beautiful day.
