A fuzz with a sense of humor

"All I need is a fuzz with a sense of humor" says the guy wearing a "very 70s" brown turtleneck and plaid jacket. He is a bookie who has an employee who just had a heart attack. He was denying who he was until the guy with the heart attack blew his cover. We also see a very long helicopter ride. The helicopter is going to and from an emergency call. This is actually very boring and consumes more time that it should. Another plot is an emergency in the hos basement of Rampart General Hospital. As a backdrop to all of the above features the firemen debating the pro and cons of buying a boat together.
