9-1-1 (2018) s04e02 Episode Script

1
The Hollywood Reservoir has burst,
spilling thousands of gallons of water
into the Hollywood Hills neighborhood.
Many homes, businesses, and roads
have been destroyed from
the path of the water.
It's unclear what the death count is,
but from early estimates
Emergency workers will be spread thin,
especially now during
a worldwide pandemic.
Residents are urged
not to enter the Hollywood Hills area,
as it is extremely
dangerous and unstable.
This might be your dumbest idea yet.
We should be on the road headed home,
not lost in the hills.
We're not lost.
We're almost there.
Albuquerque is downhill.
And about 12 hours east.
Come on!
We can't leave without taking a picture
in front of the Hollywood sign.
Exactly. It's iconic.
Uh, it's trespassing. We
shouldn't even be up here.
Dude, it'll be cool, all
right? We'll scale the hillside,
we'll get up close to the sign,
we'll take some awesome
pictures, then head home.
We're never making it back
to Albuquerque tonight.
Hold up.
I am not dressed to scale anything.
I thought we were just going
on a walk. You never said
You're fine. It's not even that steep.
For you, maybe.
You always do this.
Make plans without
checking in with me first.
You love to spring stuff on me.
- I do not!
- You do.
Like when you let her move
in. Didn't check with me first.
- Hey.
- Okay.
We are in the middle
of a pandemic, Dylan.
What was I supposed to do?
FaceTime. Zoom. BlueJeans, Webex, Skype.
I thought you liked having me around.
You said we were the quaran-team.
Look. There it is.
This view is amazing.
Makes it all worth it, doesn't it?
Not really.
Buzzkill, dude.
Like, excuse me for wanting
us to have a good time.
That was the whole
point of this road trip:
fun together.
We've been together for months.
You know what, I
I think I need some alone time.
I wanna go back to the car.
What is with all the helicopters?
It's LA. There are always helicopters.
No, it's something else.
Come on. Let's just take these photos
- and head back.
- Okay.
- What's happening?
- Is that an earthquake?
The sign.
Is it moving?
Moving!
Oh, my God, it's coming down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Sylvia.
Sylvia, can you hear me?
Oh, I'm here.
Are you all right?
- No.
- Me, either.
But we're alive.
Now we just gotta find
our way outta here.
This is why I don't leave the house.
Bad things happen.
I'm pretty sure this bad thing happened
while we were still inside the house.
But guess what?
You survived.
What do we do now?
Do you have a cell phone?
Not in years. Don't you?
Ugh. In my patrol car.
Lost my radio in the fall.
You see that daylight up there?
There's gonna be plenty
of copters in the sky.
Let's just climb out to signal for help.
- I don't think I'm that brave.
- I don't need you to be brave.
I just need you to trust me
and put one foot in front of the other.
We're gonna get outta here together.
Are you with me?
Okay.
- Come on.
- Whoa!
All of the water from
the dam caused more damage
than just flooding and mudslides.
It quickly eroded the bottom
of the hill, and then
Brought the whole hill down.
Most of the damage is
concentrated east of the dam.
Exposed gas lines, unstable
structures, and mud.
- Lots of it.
- Any casualties?
Two tagged so far, but
there's bound to be more.
LAPD was evacuating residents
when the hill came down.
Might not have gotten
them all out in time.
Have any officers checked
in with Mobile Command?
Not that I've seen, but
it's still golden hour.
It's our best chance to find survivors.
After that
It becomes a recovery operation.
Should we be worried about
more of that hill coming down?
Yeah, we work quick, we work safe,
we hope for the best.
Where do you want us?
The Hollywood sign.
Where's the rest of it?
Downhill.
About where the H
landed just west of here.
There were some hikers in the area.
Guess they should have bought a vowel.
Okay, Hen, Eddie, you're
with me at the sign.
Chimney, Buck, you stay here
and help search for survivors.
That's punishment for bad jokes.
Not bad jokes. Dad jokes.
Getting in the habit early.
I know. I'm gonna be a terrible father.
No, you're not listening!
Hollywood Boulevard is closed.
Officials ask if you are
a resident in the area
or looking for a resident
That's my mom's patrol car.
Are you sure?
I may have used the CAD
to check on her before.
Can you try her over the radio?
We would usually wait for the officer
to radio dispatch if
they need some help.
We'll make an exception this time.
727-L-30, what's your status?
727-L-30, do you copy?
What is your status?
It's probably chaos out there.
You shouldn't assume the worst.
She isn't even supposed
to be out in the field.
She's on desk duty.
You know, my first day on the phones,
a 7.1 earthquake hit.
If I can make it through that day,
you can make it through this one.
I promise.
I'll give you the same
advice Josh gave me.
We all have people we love out there.
Best thing we can do
for them is our job.
9-1-1. What's your emergency?
You've reached Athena Grant-Nash.
Damn it, Mom.
LAFD!
Anybody out here?
LAFD!
Buck. Over there.
LAFD, can you hear me?
I'm on him.
I'm not getting anything.
All right. Mark it. Keep on moving.
Like the chief said, bound to be others.
LAFD!
- LAFD!
- Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.
Do you hear that?
Sounds like a baby.
- Oh, definitely a baby.
- Over there.
- It's under here.
- All right, I got this.
Under there.
It's a baby monitor.
So where's the baby?
It's four stories tall.
Shouldn't we be able
to see it by now, Cap?
Maybe it landed further west.
This isn't the first time
the Hollywood sign has fallen.
Legend has it, back in the
day, a groundskeeper got drunk
and crashed his car into it.
Knocked down the H.
And how do you know that?
Yeah, when I first moved here,
I wanted to know more about the area.
I took one of those tours.
It was very informative.
- Help!
- Help!
I'm I'm stuck.
Stay right where you are. LAFD.
We will come to you.
That mud's too thick. We need plywood.
Dispatch, this is Captain Nash, 118.
We are in the hills
west of Mobile Command
working on the mudslide.
We need a supply drop of plywood ASAP.
Copy that, Captain.
Do you have a landmark for the pilots?
Uh, yeah.
So we have the receiver.
Baby must be near the transmitter.
Too bad we can't just ping
it or something, you know,
like, uh, Find My Phone.
Yeah, I don't think that's a thing.
Yeah, well, it should be.
Well, maybe you'll invent it
for when I misplace my kid.
You know it's gonna happen.
I lose my phone at
least three times a week.
I'm gonna call for backup.
We need more people out here searching.
Do we know which channel
Mobile Command is on?
Not that one.
Wait, uh, g go back.
Mudslide knocked out the
power on the cell service.
There shouldn't be any interference.
So what's causing that feedback?
It's a battery-operated baby monitor.
So what if we follow that feedback?
Where it's loudest is probably
where the transmitter is.
And the baby.
- Find My Baby.
- Exactly.
You know, I only heard
a baby, not an adult.
Before, when we heard the crying.
Yeah, parents could be
unconscious or, you know
Dead?
Poor kid might be an orphan.
Or maybe they just got separated.
Well, you really do always go
worst-case scenario, don't you?
Is that judgement I'm detecting?
Uh, yes. You know, it it is.
Because you are having
a kid with my sister,
but you're living on my couch.
To protect her.
And your niece or nephew.
Maybe you missed it,
but the whole world's
taken an unexpected turn
to crazy town.
I'm just trying to
keep them safe until
Until what?
Until the world goes back to normal?
Well, what if it never does?
Then I'll be a crappy dad
over videoconferencing.
That's actually something
I got experience with.
Chimney, you're not giving yourself
enough credit, okay?
You're you're gonna be a great dad.
I have zero evidence
to support that theory.
Ah, but you take care of total strangers
every single day.
Hey, hey, hey! This has gotta be it.
So how do we get inside?
Chimney.
What?
What?
No, the chimney.
Just a little higher.
You make it sound so easy.
I'll be damned.
Maybe our luck is turning around.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
I'm trapped in an unstable structure
in the Hollywood Hills.
We got caught in the slide.
Do you copy?
Copy that 727-L-30.
What is your location?
Well, it was 1415 Ledgewood Drive.
Not sure where we landed.
Is that my mom?
I'm pretty sure that address moved.
But it looks like your patrol car
is still in the area.
You're just south of it. Anyone injured?
Some bumps and bruises.
We're gonna keep climbing
toward the daylight.
We sure could use a lift outta here.
Copy that. Units are in the area,
but the mud's slowing them down.
We'll get you that ride
home as soon as we can.
Well, can't you put a rush on it?
Tell them an officer's
in distress or something?
I already did. Right there.
Cavalry's on the way.
Let's keep moving.
That can't be good.
Dispatch!
This thing isn't gonna hold much longer.
We need that rescue now.
Sylvia!
Oh, my God, Mom!
727-L-30, do you copy?
Come in, 727-L-30. Do you copy?
Don't move. That mud is
liquid. It'll suck you right in.
Yeah. Tell me about it.
Okay, try to relax.
- What's your name?
- Dylan.
Okay, Dylan, everything's gonna be fine.
We're gonna get you outta here.
BP's slightly elevated,
and his breathing's a little shallow.
Is that normal?
Given the situation, yes. But not ideal.
All right, that mud has probably started
- to restrict his lungs.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm gonna die.
- You're not gonna die.
Oh, I should have known.
I should've never taken this trip.
2020 has been a dumpster fire.
Why should this be any different?
You're acting like I forced you to come.
I was just trying to
be nice and include you.
- We're roommates.
- Ah.
No, me and Caleb are roommates.
You came over for dinner and never left.
Okay, stop moving.
Every time you do, that mud
is gonna pull you in deeper.
Stay still and keep your
hands above the surface.
I just I feel like I'm gonna drown.
You can't drown in quicksand.
Human body's too dense.
But the more you struggle
Ugh, I'm stuck!
And and and sinking!
Oh, God. Oh, God, okay. Can you help me?
Can't we just pull him out?
Not unless you wanna rip him in half.
We need to put something
in there to support him.
You think the pipe poles would work?
No, too short.
The H. Maybe we can use some of that.
Let's do this.
Okay. Okay.
I need to say something.
Just in case I don't make it.
I'm sorry.
I know that I've been kind of an ass.
Kind of?
Dylan, it's fine.
We've all been under a lot of stress.
Just listen to what they say
so they can get you out of there.
I love you.
I love you too, bud.
Go quaran-team.
I'm in love with you.
- Son of a
- Have been since lockdown.
And the plot thickens.
But you've been a total jerk to me.
You've acted like me
living with you guys
has been torture.
Because it has!
I mean, don't you see?
The three of us living under one roof,
you two kissing and
canoodling, it was killing me.
Cap, you wanna hurry that up, please?
All right, you got it?
But you never
- Okay, Dylan, I
- I know.
I know that you don't feel the same way.
I just I didn't wanna
die without telling you.
Okay. I I can't breathe.
Gotta move fast.
Pressure from this mud is
gonna collapse his lungs.
Stop moving around.
You're gonna make things worse.
I I love you too, Dylan.
What?
So you stay still.
Don't give up. Live.
For me. Okay?
Ok okay.
Okay, Dylan, I need you to lean back
as far as you can like you're
- sitting in a chair, okay?
- Okay.
That is gonna distribute
your weight more evenly.
Move slowly. Your leg
should start to rise.
Now just lean back.
Get a little leverage.
Keep leaning back. Keep leaning back.
Yeah, it's working.
Oh! Oh, I'm gonna live!
And then I'm gonna kill you.
Caleb, I am so sorry.
- I just
- You're in love with Dylan?
I thought he was gonna die.
I was moved by his passion.
I thought I should say it back.
So you didn't mean it.
But she was sure quick to say it.
Ugh. 2020 is a dumpster fire.
Okay, here's your ride.
I don't suppose I could
catch the next flight?
Go, quaran-team.
Okay, when you get
to the bottom, I'll drop the medical bag
and tools down to you.
Copy that.
In the future, if anybody asks,
this is how I got my name.
I feel like such a cliché.
Buck, I'm in.
Oh.
Oh, come on, wake up.
Oh, thank God.
Buck, I got 'im.
Can't be any more than a few days old,
not a scratch on him.
Found the mother, too, deceased.
Looks like blunt force
trauma to the head.
I'll notify Mobile
Command. Tag the house.
All right, let's get
you two outta there.
Copy
Help, we're locked in!
Stand back!
My baby, where is he?
What did she do to him?
It's okay. Calm down.
- Your baby?
- She took him.
She told me he wasn't mine anymore.
- Who took him?
- Carol.
She tricked us into giving up our baby.
She took him from me.
- You're the mother.
- Yes.
Do you know where he is?
He's right here, he's
okay. He's right here.
What happened?
We felt the earthquake,
but we couldn't get out.
The mudslide. Half the hill came down.
She locked you in here?
- Carol?
- Yes.
Where is she?
Carol didn't make it.
Feeling less bad about that.
Is anyone injured? I heard screaming.
Uh, that was me.
I'm in labor.
Of course.
Buck, we're gonna need
reinforcements down here.
Fast.
Sylvia!
Sylvia!
Where are you?
Answer me!
I see you.
I'm coming down to you.
- Sergeant.
- Oh, I'm here.
I'm here.
Can you move?
Barely.
This thing is crushing me.
Oh, it hurts.
You don't think anything's broken?
Maybe a couple of bruised ribs.
How's your breathing?
I'm getting oxygen,
- if that's what you're asking.
- Good.
Let's get this off of you.
Okay.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
I'm gonna need an ETA on those units.
- Thank God she's okay.
- All units have been notified.
They are trying to locate
you as quickly as possible.
It might not be quick enough.
The structure shifted,
and we just slid several feet.
Don't have much time.
You go.
You save yourself.
Mom, listen to her.
Get out of there before you both die.
Dispatch, I appreciate your concern,
but I have a job to do and I'm doing it.
If you wanna help,
get that rescue down here now.
Rescue's on the way, Sergeant.
You should go take a break.
You're pulling me from the floor?
Yes, I am. You're done.
From what the women are saying,
it sounds like some kind
of illegal adoption ring.
They get lured in by being promised help
and then coerced to
give up their babies.
The deceased we found,
she was selling them.
- How many women are down there?
- Four.
One in active labor and one infant.
Clearing the roof now for extraction.
Sounds like your guys
have a handle on things.
I'll notify LAPD.
They'll want to talk to these women.
There's something else
I'd like to brief you on.
What is it?
Skylight's all dug out,
so let's do this like a relay.
I go in, get 'em in the harness,
- send 'em up to you and Hen.
- Copy that. Ready?
Yeah.
All right, clear back!
Give that to Chim.
Copy.
You go, just stay back. You're okay.
Keep breathing. That's it.
- Chim, Chim, I'm here.
- Thanks.
How we doing back here?
Close, but no baby yet.
Okay, circle back once
we get everyone else out.
Copy that.
You are doing so good, Amber.
Oh, I can't believe I'm
having a kid down here.
Alone.
Oh. What about the father?
He doesn't know.
I didn't tell him.
He, uh, wasn't a good guy.
I'm sorry.
That how you ended up here?
Yeah, I didn't have anybody.
No one?
My parents kicked me out.
I had nowhere to go.
Then I met Carol,
and she made it seem like
this was the best option.
My only option.
And she promised me that
I wouldn't be doing this by myself,
and that my baby would be better off.
And I believed her.
I was an idiot.
No, no, no, no.
You were scared.
We don't always make the best decisions
when we're operating out of fear, right?
We're gonna get you out of here.
How?
It's too heavy. You're
wasting your time.
If I could just find something
and use it as leverage
to lift it off of you.
Bingo.
The longer you stay, there's
a chance neither of us
is getting out of here.
Go and get help. You
can come back for me.
I'm not leaving you.
We're in this together,
and neither one of us is dying.
Not here. Not today.
I feel like I'm afraid all the time.
I'm gonna be a terrible mother.
You know, I heard 90%
of being a good parent
is just showing up.
You've already got that part covered.
Do you have kids?
Not yet.
My girlfriend's pregnant. Our first.
You're lucky.
You don't know how many times
I wished I had someone there with me.
All those firsts.
The ultrasounds and when
the baby started moving.
And then kicking.
Just to be able to reach out
and have someone take my hand.
I was so lonely.
I guess that's how I
ended up here, right?
Thinking that I would feel safer
with someone by my side.
I was so wrong.
Hey.
You are about to have
someone by your side
for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
I guess I am.
Oh! Ow!
You have kids, right?
Family? I have nobody.
No one's gonna miss me if
I go down with this thing.
You have people to go home to. Go.
I deserve this.
You think you deserve
to die alone in the dark
just because you lived your life alone?
I deserve it 'cause I
never should've survived
in the first place.
It was a car accident.
I was driving.
My sister was in the passenger seat.
Another car came out of nowhere, and
I survived and my sister didn't.
I'm sorry.
Afterwards, everyone told me
I should get back out there
and move on with my life,
but without my sister
in the world, I just
Just wanted to be in it less.
Eventually, I just
stopped going out at all.
You gave up on yourself.
On life.
Wouldn't you?
Of course you wouldn't.
You're not a weak person.
No!
When I said I was injured
in the line of duty
I was attacked.
I was looking for a suspect, but
he found me first.
I've never felt more weak.
More powerless in my life.
Your trouble wasn't your fault.
No, but I still blamed myself.
Walked into that building alone.
Just like you blame
yourself for driving.
It's that guilt that
you've been carrying.
It doesn't help; it only isolates you.
But I couldn't save my sister.
But you could still save yourself.
You can push through the fear
and the pain and come
out on the other side.
- Ah!
- Okay, breathe through it.
Breathe through it. You got this.
You can do this. You got it.
I can't do it! I can't!
No, I can't do it!
No, you can do this.
This baby is coming.
Not here, no, not now. I can't.
Amber, you can do this.
I can't.
I can't do this by myself.
You don't have to, okay?
We're in this together.
I'm here. I'm right here, okay?
Oh, it hurts. Ah.
But you can do it.
You can do it.
Now lift and push.
Push through the pain. You've got to.
It's the only way.
You ready?
Okay.
One, two, three.
Push!
Here we go, with me.
One, two, push. Here you go, Amber.
Now, push!
Push! Push!
- That's it!
- Push!
That's it!
We got it!
She's here.
Your beautiful baby girl is here.
Is she okay?
She's perfect.
Ah.
How you feeling?
Like I'm ready to get
the hell outta here.
Thank you for not leaving me.
- Oh.
- Okay.
The Hard part's not over.
We still gotta climb outta here.
Well, then, we better get moving.
Ready to move?
Atta girl.
Any word on my mom?
Rescue units are
looking. They'll find her.
I'm sorry. I just
I was trying to save my mom.
I know.
But you only made the situation worse.
Look, when we are on those calls,
we're someone else's lifeline.
Our voices, it's the only thing
that they have to hang onto.
So we don't get to panic,
no matter who is on the
other end of that line.
It won't happen again.
Good.
'Cause we need you back out there.
Watch your step.
Amber!
What are you still doing here?
I I thought they would've taken you
to the hospital by now.
I couldn't leave without you.
Another transport's on the way.
Good job, Chim.
You must feel pretty good, huh?
Yeah. How was the practice run?
Great.
In all fairness, I
didn't have to do a lot.
Just kinda catch.
Yeah, and he doesn't
need a practice run.
He is gonna be a great
dad to a baby Buckley.
Hey, where'd Bobby
go? He kick off early?
No, he's still working.
I don't see them!
Oh!
Watch your step!
Look! Over there in the distance!
Hey!
Down here!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
They can't see us.
The beam's too weak.
Wait here.
Down here!
Go back!
Go back! Over there! Go back!
Found them!
We got 'em! Right there!
Wasn't expecting to see you, Captain.
Well, I heard you needed a ride.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
Rescue has arrived.
I think this is your call.
You sure?
Just remember what I
said. You're the lifeline.
Copy that, 727-L-30.
Glad to hear you're okay.
Glad to hear you too, Dispatch.
Thanks for coming to get me.
Always.
What's this?
We wanted to celebrate
your first day back at work.
Oh, what a nice surprise.
Turns out, you were the
one with the real surprise.
You know, so much for desk duty.
I almost had a desk fall on my head.
All right, well, these are almost done.
I just need to grab a
salad from the kitchen.
Uh, I got it.
How are you doing?
We both had a hell of a day.
Yeah, it was crazy.
I thought I knew what expect, but
It takes its toll.
I wish I could say it gets
easier, but it doesn't.
You know, no one would fault you
if you decided to walk away.
Especially after the day you had.
You think I'm going to quit?
- That I can't hack it?
- I know you're capable.
I just hoped you come to your senses.
I know you don't understand why.
You're right. I don't.
You were looking forward to USC.
You were gonna major in
prelaw, maybe journalism.
You had plans.
Then all of a sudden
You got hurt.
Plans changed.
I took the job because of you.
- What?
- This last year.
Dad's brain tumor, you almost dying.
Then everything else in the world?
I couldn't control any of it.
And the thought of you
going back out there
- on the streets?
- May.
I've been a cop for 30 years.
I know how to do this job.
You do not have to worry about me.
But I do.
You take crazy risks with your life.
I'm a police officer. It
comes with the territory.
And that's why I took this job.
So when you go out there,
you'll never have to be alone again.
Albert.
You can't just keep leaving
your stuff laying around.
You're not Albert.
No.
I'm
Wow.
You're so, uh
Pregnant.
Yeah, on the video chat,
it didn't, uh It
didn't seem so so real.
So what are you doing here?
I'm home.
If you still want me here.
I do.
But why now?
I mean, nothing's changed.
The world is still the same.
Yeah, but I think maybe
what needs to change is me.
You make me so happy.
You and this baby.
Maybe a little too happy because
See, I've been so worried
that something terrible
was gonna happen,
- so I just
- Ran.
I got scared.
I'm so sorry.
I'm scared too.
So let's try being scared together.
Welcome home.
All right, well, we better get going.
David is gonna be home
from his shift soon.
Already?
Why don't we let Harry
stay here tonight?
I can pick him up tomorrow
morning before school.
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure you're missing him.
Is everything okay with David?
Okay, you don't have
to keep being polite.
Okay, I know you think
that we went COVID crazy
with David moving in so fast.
Well, look, it just it felt right.
You know, no wasting time.
That is not what I meant.
I'm happy for you.
You deserve someone
like David in your life.
I mean, I'm glad you found each other.
Thank you.
That that means a lot.
But the man looks tired.
Tell him to get some rest.
People who love each other
are always connected
by an invisible string
made of love.
Carla, do you have an invisible string?
You know I do.
And it's connected right to you.
Even if I can't see you?
You can see me any time you want
on the computer.

Hate to break it to you.
Albert doesn't do chores.
I contribute in other ways.

- Oh, I can attest to that.
I thought you're not supposed
to be drinking coffee.
It's one cup a day, people. Back off.
Ooh, uh, sorry. Gotta go.
And you know what,

about your new lady friend.
I wanna meet her!
Good morning, Evan. How are you?

about what you said in our last session,
and how I hide my true
