>> 255, I going to need crime scene.

>> we got a gun.

>> let's get him; let's get him.

>> yeah, well, I get that all the time.

Listen, how much have you had to drink?

>> about a six-pack.

>> that's a little too much, isn't it, now?

Let's do it.

That's a big bastard right there, boy.

Car flipped.

Two people flew out of the car, both hurt very badly.

I make a living in the movies,

but for the past 20 years...

>> 11, 825, code 6.

And along with some of the finest deputies on the force,

I serve the people of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Steven Seagal: Lawman 1x10 A Parish Under Seige Original Air Date on January 13, 2010

Today we're responding to a call that could be serious,

About, believe it or not, rodents.

Mr. Glancey,

you all got some nutria problem over here?

>> yes, sir.

If you come to the bank,

you'll see the actual damage that they're doing.

>> they're burrowing underneath this embankment?

>> you see just hunks of it falling off at a time.

>> that's right past that pipe right there

Where they're living at.

>> nutria are kind of a beaver-like creature.

There's millions of them in the bayou,

and they can be tremendously hazardous

to the communities.

They burrow under the levees, and one of the reasons

why Katrina was very, very devastating

and the levees collapsed was because the nutria

had caused so much erosion, so we're here

to try to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen again.

>> they have tunnels from the canal

right underneath the house.

>> wowee.

>> boy, they doing some digging.

>> we've caught numerous nutrias out of there and let them go.

I don't know what the answer is.

I mean, this is a problem everywhere in Jefferson.

>> we've tried a lot of different techniques

to get rid of the nutria,

but there only seems to be one that really works.

Several nights a week, we go along the canal banks

and actually shoot the nutria.

It's an unusual way to do it.

For the most part, we've been somewhat effective.

But the trouble is, because they reproduce so quickly,

it's hard to just get rid of them completely,

which we may never be able to do.

Yeah, I got a big old pot

of nutria jambalaya on the stove there.

>> we just had some, thank you.

>> oh, did you? >> no, just kidding.

>> thank you, all.

These folks and their concerns are very, very serious.

It would be nice if we could figure out a way

to coexist with the nutria and protect the community too.

>> I mean, it's not just a matter of going out

and shooting some harmless little, innocent animal.

These animals are causing major damage.

>> I myself don't shoot the nutria.

I don't shoot anything that's not shooting at me.

It's Friday night, and people are looking

to let off some steam.

That could mean a busy night for us.

>> let's go take a ride.

>> car flipped.

Two people flew out of the car, both hurt very badly.

Now the car is on fire.

>> we got an accident with injuries,

possible fatalities.

Emergency unit coming up behind me here.

>> there it is.

>> they went around Flemings curve.

>> yep, they take it too fast.

>> man, I don't like that at all.

>> oh, jesus.

>> we got a lot of chaos here.

We've got a lot of people.

>> in eastern philosophy,

we believe that the quieter you become,

the more you can hear and understand.

Johnny, over here.

That's why when I first arrive on a scene,

I kind of try to take it all in

and see where my team is most needed.

>> where's the other person that was in the vehicle?

>> oh, all right.

>> she's got the stretcher.

>> he's stable over there.

>>

>> how this one doing, Alex?

Can he talk?

>> calm down; calm down.

>> do we have two or three people?

He said there were three or four of them with him.

>> three or four people in the car?

>> yeah, so now you've got one here and one here.

>> there could be one more person they haven't found yet.

>> did he tell you if they had another third guy in here?

>> we haven't found him.

>> well, if that's the case, I'll be looking in these bushes.

The force of the crash could have easy thrown anybody

into the tall grass.

Depending upon his injuries, we may only have minutes

to find him and get him in the hospital.

If the body hit the bushes, we'd be down,

And the way that car is trashed,

this body could of flown, you know, a little ways.

Hey, Johnny, I don't see anybody over here this side at all.

>> what happened?

Is he all right?

>> do you know these people?

>> yes, they just left from the bar.

>> can I ask you who was in the car with them?

>> there was just only two.

>> only two people? >> for sure, yeah?

>> yes, there was only two.

>> is he all right?

>> well, they're working on him right now, absolutely.

We're going to try to give him a little space,

and as soon as he gets better,

they'll be able to talk with him.

>> are you sure there was only two people in the vehicle

when they left?

>> yes, I'm sure.

>> and they didn't go anyhwere and pick somebody up?

>> because I work at the bar.

They didn't come back, and we seen the cops pass by,

and we...

>> back up; back up; back up.

>> it's all right; it's all right.

>> man, I don't often see a car that up, do you?

>> not that often; that's for sure.

>> so the good news is, we were able to determine

there was only two people in the car.

We know that they were coming from a bar,

and we're not really sure if alcohol played a role

in this or not.

At this point, we're just really concentrating

on keeping them alive.

I'm really rooting for these guys.

Man, I couldn't find no other people throwed out anywhere.

>> all right, let's roll.

>> I think they just couldn't make the turn.

They had to be going pretty fast

to sustain that kind of damage.

>> oh, absolutely.

>> it's the end of the work week.

People are getting rowdy.

We're going to go into some troubled areas.

We're going to go around some of the bars,

some of the establishments where there's intoxicated people,

and try to make sure everybody's safe.

When I was in Asia, you know, I learned to relax

by studying the martial arts and meditation.

Over here, a lot of people relax by drinking,

and we're okay with that as long as nobody gets hurt.

We don't want any more accidents as a result of the alcohol.

>> what we're basically doing is trying to see

what we can stop.

We're more like a vaccination,

and if we get to it before they get out of hand,

then we might prevent something that is worse later on.

Why don't you park in that parking lot?

Let's just see if there's anybody loitering

or drunk and disorderly.

You know what I mean?

>> how you all doing?

>> hello.

>> whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no.

What did you put down over there?

>> we're going to go around to some of the bars

and try to make sure everybody's safe.

>> how you all doing?

>> hello.

Whoa.

What did you put down >> over there?

Oh, no, no, no, don't go after it.

>> you got to either go inside or--

>> all right, well, find some place to go,

not around here.

You see the sign up there?

That means you can't hang outside.

that's what that means.

>> you all cool?
