9-1-1: Lone Star (2020) s05e07 Episode Script
Kiddos

Ugh. That was way too many spiders
to pull out of someone's ear.
- Yuck.
- O-One.
One spider's too many
- to pull out of someone's ear.
- (TK GROANS)
How did you know
they hated olive oil so much?
My mom was arachnophobic,
and she knew
it's like a natural repellent.
- ALL: Surprise!
- (GROUP CLAPPING)
You guys.
You two knew about this?
Oh, might have texted on the way back.
Oh, you are sneaky.
Don't blame them. It was all your dad.
Since you're on shift for your 30th,
the least I could do is get you a cake.
- TK STRAND: Whoa. The red McLaren?
- OWEN STRAND: Yep.
- I can't believe you remembered.
- (LAUGHS) How could I forget?
I'm sensing there's a story here.
Yeah. Ever since he was little,
he's wanted a red McLaren.
So I said when he turned 30,
he'd get one.
I love it, you guys. Thank you so much.
But, remember,
the official birthday party
is Saturday night, okay?
Yeah, and we've got enough catering
to ride out the apocalypse,
- so y'all better come.
- (MARJAN LAUGHING)
JUDD RYDER: Don't worry. We're comin'.
Let's just cut this thing
before the tones go off again. Yep.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Animals!
We need to sing first.
ALL (SINGING):
Happy birthday to you ♪

- (CAR ENGINE ROARING)
(GROUP STOPS SINGING)
PAUL STRICKLAND: Hey.
- OWEN: Hey!
- MATEO CHAVEZ: Whoa.
("GET DOWN" BY TYLER HILTON PLAYING)
Yo!
You can't come in here.
Got that warm wind blowing ♪
Got them clouds that forming ♪
Got my own ♪
I'm looking for a recent tricenarian.
- (LAUGHTER)
- Enzo!
What the heck, man?
ENZO DE LA COSTA: Hey, kiddo. (GRUNTS)
TK: Oh, my God.
Carlos, this is Enzo.
Enzo. So the legend is real.
So who is this guy?
OWEN: Enzo.
That's TK's stepfather.
He has a way of swooping in
and making everything about him.
What are you doing here? I told
you the party's not until Saturday.
Yes, well, someone wanted to wish you
a happy birthday. (CHUCKLES)
Oh, my God, that kid is adorable.
An adorable prop.
- Hi, big brother.
- TK: Hi, little brother.
Oh, you got so big.
Hey, did you just put a toddler
in the front seat of a sports car?
No, of course not.
I just let him sit there
for the pull in.
Sofia's waiting outside in the Escalade.
Look at you!
Why don't you take the high road, Cap?
Just go say hi to him.
Yeah.
Enzo. Hey.
How you doing? It's been a while.
Owen.
It's good to see you, sport.
So, sport, uh, you're gonna
have to move your car,
because if we get a call,
it's gonna get crushed.
Oh, well, that is a shame,
because it's, uh,
it's not my vehicle.
Happy birthday, kiddo.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
Title's right here.
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God. Enzo!
- You always wanted a McLaren, right?
- Are you ser
A red one.
- Big smile. There you go.
- (CAMERA CLICKS)
JUDD: What do you say?
I got your half-caff cap, Cap.
- Thank you.
- There.
And then while I got you here,
I was wondering
if we could go over something
on this, uh, equipment order.
What do you see down there?
JUDD: Uh excitement.
Maybe joy.
How about master manipulation?
(SCOFFS) And God bless TK.
He falls for it every single time,
just like his mother did.
JUDD: Yeah. You know,
family can be a kick in the pants.
So, about this equipment order,
I was wondering if maybe you wanted
This seems sketchy, doesn't it?
The whole car thing.
(SMACKS LIPS) How so?
Well, I mean, he shows up here
with the car and the paperwork
and practically forces TK
to sign the title right on the spot.
It's sketchy, right?
I mean, maybe, or maybe he's just trying
to do something nice for TK.
OWEN: There's nothing nice about Enzo.
He's a corporate raider
who's made millions of dollars
swooping in and buying companies
and selling 'em off.
There's always an angle.
And the way he calls TK
"kiddo" makes me
(GAGS) wanna vomit.
(EXHALES) Alright.
Tell me, what about the equipment?
Oh, so the new IR is great.
- It's pretty state-of-the-art stuff
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
Dad. Sorry to interrupt.
- Hey, Judd.
- What's up?
Um, wanted to say sorry
for not giving you
a heads-up about Enzo.
I didn't think he'd actually show up.
And I, I know you guys
get tense around each other.
No, no, we're good together.
You sure? 'Cause you're gonna
be in the same room at my party.
Yeah, I promise. I won't make a scene.
Alright. 'Cause you know
how important it is to me.
Oh, I know.
How about we all have dinner?
At my place?
Enzo? In your house? Really?
Why not? I think it'd
be good to break bread
and maybe clear the air
before your big party.
Okay. (LAUGHS) Yeah, that would,
that would be amazing, Dad.
Thanks, Dad.
- Hey, see you.
- Yeah.
- (EXHALES DEEPLY)
- (JUDD CLEARS THROAT)
You think that's a good idea?
It's a great idea because TK can see
that I can take the high road,
and then when I get there,
I'll rub it in Enzo's face.
- Has there been an accident?
- CALLER (ON PHONE): No. Not yet.
Can you tell me your name?
CALLER: Isla.
WYATT HARRIS: Hi, Isla.
My name is Wyatt.
I have to ask, are you thinking of
hurting someone on Watson Road?
No, that's why I'm calling.
I don't want anyone else to get hurt.
Anyone else?
Isla, are you thinking
about hurting yourself?
- I'm already hurting.
- (TRAFFIC NOISE BELOW)
WYATT (ON PHONE): Isla.
I'm sorry you're in pain,
but I'm, I'm really glad you called.
I'm gonna see about
getting a road closure.
Just hang on for me, okay?
APD, Rescue, Fire 126,
respond immediately
to Howard Street garage over Watson.
Possible jumper.
Isla, I'm sending people
to close the road.
In the meantime, why don't you
just tell me about what's going on?
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
My life is over.
Why do you say that?
Retinitis pigmentosa.
Congenital blindness.
I just found out I've got it.
Three weeks
before finishing my residency
as a pediatric neurosurgeon.
I-I can't imagine
what a shock that would be.
ISLA: The truth is, my vision's
been dimming for a while.
I thought it was just eye strain.
(EMOTIONAL) Not the lights
turning out for good.
But I'll be gone before that happens.
Fire 126, you need to hurry.
I'm losing her.
MARJAN MARWANI (ON RADIO):
Copy. We're almost on scene.
We're going as fast as we can.
(HORN BLARES)
Look, Isla, I know
it's really hard right now,
but I'm sure that
there are a lot of people
who would be devastated if
anything were to happen to you.
No, there aren't.
- (TRAFFIC NOISE)
- Because I've sacrificed
every relationship in my life
for this dream,
to help kids.
And now that's gone.
Look, Wyatt, you seem sweet,
and I'm really sorry
to do this to you,
but there's just no point.
Wait! Uh, can I
- Can I tell you a quick story?
- A story?
About somebody who went
through something just like you are.
I know what you're doing.
You're stalling.
WYATT (OVER PHONE):
Just listen to me, please.
Isla, I had a dream
to help people just like you.
Isla, that was
ripped away from me too.
I didn't think I could go on.
There were days where
I was thinking about doing
exactly what you're
thinking about doing.
Isla, I know right now
you can't imagine
anything else for yourself.
But I promise you, I promise
that if you stick it out,
you, you can transform all that love
and all that struggle
into something,
- something new.
- (ISLA WHIMPERS)
So, please
don't jump.
ISLA (CRYING): Okay.
Okay?
Okay, I'm, I'm getting down.
(SCREAMING)
Isla?
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
WYATT: Isla. What's happening?
- (ISLA SCREAMING)
- Isla?
Help me!
(HORN BLARES)
Someone help!
Someone help! (CRYING)
We got you.
- Don't let go!
- PAUL: (GRUNTS) Come here.
MARJAN: We got you. Come here.
(ISLA CRYING)
PAUL (ON PHONE): Hey,
126 on scene. She's safe.
Thank God.
Uh, can you put her on?
Yeah. Hey. He wants to talk to you.
(GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING)
ISLA (ON PHONE): Hi, Wyatt.
Your story isn't over, Isla.
This is just the beginning.
Thank you.

TOMMY VEGA:
Alright, let's hear it.
DR. COLLINS: I'm afraid the
biopsy results confirm it's cancer.
I have breast cancer.
DR. COLLINS: (SIGHS) Yes.
Based on the ultrasound,
it's a 1.6-centimeter mass.
That puts me at stage 2B?
That's right.
And next step is a lumpectomy.
Yes. I'll remove the mass surgically,
along with the lymph nodes
under your arm to see if it's spread.
That will determine the next steps.
I know it's a lot to process.
The hospital has an amazing team
of counselors who can help you.
How soon can you do this?
Let me check.
Okay
I have some openings
the week of the 15th,
and I actually had
a cancellation tomorrow,
- but I know that's
- I'll take that one.
Are you sure?
You don't wanna make
any arrangements first?
It's an outpatient procedure, right?
If everything goes well.
But there could be
some post-surgical pain,
risk of blood clots.
Tomorrow's good.
(DOOR OPENS)
Okay, so this says that
you're not supposed
to eat after 10:00 p.m.
and to shower
with antibacterial soap tonight.
- Okay?
- Yeah. Okay.
And what time do you want me
to pick you up tomorrow?
Uh, 7:30.
After the girls get on the bus.
Okay, and then I'll start a meal train,
because when my mom got sick,
the meal
IZZY VEGA: It's ruined!
Whoa. What's going on?
Izzy tore her new dance outfit.
I mean, I'd sew it myself,
but my arthritis.
TOMMY: It's okay.
I'll take it from here.
Thank you, Mrs. Beasley,
for watching the girls.
Always. We'll figure
something out, Izzy.
See you Saturday.
So, you were rehearsing in it,
weren't you?
- IZZY: Yeah.
- TOMMY: Hmm.
I know you said not to,
but I wanted to see how it felt.
I suppose that last growth spurt
of yours didn't help either.
The performance is on Sunday.
What am I gonna do?
Mija, don't worry about it.
I can resize it.
- Really?
- TOMMY: Absolutely. Mama's got you.
- Thank you, Mom.
- TOMMY: (LAUGHS) Yeah.
- Hey, Nancy.
- What up, Iz?
So, I guess I'll add
find a world-class seamstress
to the list.
No. No need, I got it.
But you're not gonna feel like
sewing that by Sunday.
I should hope so.
We've got a shift on Friday.
We've got TK's party.
And you're not doing any of that stuff.
You're having surgery tomorrow.
It is an outpatient procedure.
The doctor said
that you could be sore as hell.
I gave birth to twins.
I think I can handle it.
So you're not planning
on taking any sick leave?
You know, it's just not
a good time for time off.
NANCY GILLIAN: Not a good time?
Cap, (WHISPERS) it's cancer.
(WHISPERING) Okay.
Be that as it may.
I've got a lot of people
depending on me.
And for now, I would
just really appreciate it
if you kept this to yourself.
Does that mean you're
not planning on telling anyone?
The girls have enough
on their plate as it is,
and I don't need the drama at work.
But what about when
you start chemo and radiation?
I will cross that bridge
when I come to it.
(DOORBELL DINGS)
- Hey, hey.
- Hey, Dad.
Come on in.
Hey, Carlos. Love the Stetson.
Thank you. Smells incredible in here.
Thank you. Thank you. Enzo.
Twice in one week.
New record for us, huh?
- Unbelievable.
- Oh.
- So, Jonah
- (JONAH GIGGLES)
I hear that you have recently
gotten into coloring.
- Thank you.
- OWEN: You
Well, you are so welcome.
- Hey!
- He knows what to say.
Yeah. And who's this?
I'm Sofia. Jonah's nanny.
OWEN: Nice to meet you.
No, she is a godsend.
- That's what she is.
- (SOFIA CHUCKLES)
Jonah. Not on the sofa.
See what I mean?
Oh, uh, this is for you.
Oh. Thank you. Ponteroy 2006?
This is more expensive than my rent.
(LAUGHS) Don't be ridiculous.
Your rent is at least
$1,500 more. (CHUCKLES)
Did you Zillow me?
My real estate group
is looking to invest
in properties down here
at your price point.
So, who knows?
Maybe we'll be seeing
a lot more of each other, huh?
One can only dream.
ENZO: So, bottom of the last inning,
the batter pops it sky-high
to shortstop.
Now, I happen to know the
shortstop can handle a fly ball
because we practiced them
all winter in the snow.
Remember, kiddo?
Oh, I remember.
Anyway, as the ball's coming down,
the shortstop's nowhere to be found
because he's got his hands cupped
walking a slug to the outfield.
(ENZO LAUGHS)
It was a stick bug, actually.
In the middle of the game?
Yeah, he was in the base path,
and, you know,
he would have gotten smooshed.
Uh, I made the catch, though.
Oh, I couldn't have been more proud.
And not for the barehanded catch,
but because we knew
we had a true environmentalist
in the making.
Yes, I knew that years before,
when I took him camping in Yellowstone.
TK: The air was so clean,
I wanted to breathe it in
and never let go.
I can hold my breath.
Oh, yeah? Alright,
let's have a contest, then.
You ready?
One, two, three, go.
(TK INHALES)
(LIGHT, PLUCKY MUSIC PLAYING)
(ENZO CHUCKLES)
- (TK EXHALES)
- (JONAH EXHALES)
- Jonah, you beat me.
- (LAUGHTER)
Good job.
Can you imagine what Mom would say
if she saw all of us at dinner together?
(ENZO AND OWEN CHUCKLE)
Well, she'd never believe it.
Especially after last time.
What happened last time?
TK: Well, these two decided to get into
an arm wrestling match at my bar mitzvah
and the language was, uh,
not so age-appropriate.
- Not my finest hour.
- Or mine.
So who won?
- OWEN: I did.
- ENZO: It was a draw.
- It was a draw?
- You won?
OWEN: It was not a draw.
I had your arm an inch off the table.
Yeah, but my hand
didn't touch the table.
Because I didn't wanna break your wrist.
- No, no, no, no. You fatigued.
- I fatigued?
Regardless. We could let it go. Yeah?
- Sure.
- Absolutely.
(OWEN CHUCKLES)
You know, there is a way
we can settle this right now.
You don't have to draw me a picture.
You guys, you really
do not have to do this.
Now I'm curious.
SOFIA: Me too.
Alright.
Alright. Hands together.
First one to touch the table loses.
Are you two ready?
- OWEN: Yeah, ready.
- Ready.
Okay. Three, two, one, go.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
How you feeling, sport?
- Just fine.
- OWEN: Yeah?
- ENZO: Mm-hmm.
- You're looking a little fatigued.
- TK: Alright, Dad, you proved your point.
- (ENZO GROANS SHARPLY)
Now please stop.
No, not until he says uncle.
- (ENZO GRUNTING)
- Enzo, it's okay. Just let go.
(STRAINING) No can do, kiddo.
- (BONE CRACKS)
- (ENZO GRUNTS SHARPLY)
- Enzo, are you okay?
- ENZO (MUFFLED): My arm!
Oh, he's fine.
The only thing hurt is his ego.
- (ENZO GROANS)
- SOFIA: Oh, my God!
- Ohh!
- SOFIA: Oh, my God!
- Uh
- Gotta put pressure. Okay?
- Gotta stop bleeding.
- (ENZO SCREAMS)
TK: I'm gonna get a bandage.
- Alright. Uh, yeah.
- Uh, Dad, call 9-1-1.
CARLOS REYES: He's gonna
pass out. He's gonna pass out.
Just remember to keep
your arm above your heart
as much as possible, okay?
- Thanks, kiddo.
- Of course.
Carlos and I will meet you
at the hospital, okay?
- PARAMEDIC: All set.
- Okay.
Listen, take some vitamin E
with the pain pills.
That'll really help
with the inflammation.
Oh, yeah. Vitamin E.
That really helps. Thanks.
- (STRETCHER RATTLES)
- (ENZO GROANS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS) What?
- You know what, Dad.
- He started it.
Carlos, did he not egg me on
with the arm wrestling?
I I'd rather not get in the middle.
Oh, well, it's a little late for that.
You're already in the family.
Enzo did kind of start it.
Thank you.
TK: But you finished it, Dad.
You were way out of line.
God, I gotta hand it to him.
I mean, he really arranges the board
in a way that no matter
how the game goes, he wins.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about him saying
that he couldn't come
to your birthday party,
and then he shows up
with a $350,000 car.
- He's spontaneous.
- OWEN: No, he's devious.
From day one, his agenda
has been to turn you against me.
Yeah, well, I'd say
you did a pretty good job
of that yourself tonight.
You know, he's actually a great guy.
You just never cared
to actually get to know him.
Okay, well, why don't you
tell me all the ways
in which he's a great guy?
Alright. Well, he's the reason
I became a firefighter
in the first place.
No, I'm the reason
you became a firefighter.
No, you're the reason
why I almost didn't become
a firefighter, Dad.
TK, I think that's enough.
No, he needs to hear this.
I had so much resentment for
the years that you were gone.
But from eight to eighteen,
Enzo was there.
Yet he's the one who convinced me
that you're actually a good guy
who'd just fallen down a well of pain.
Pain that he had a lot to do with.
He also always told me
to show you grace.
And that's what I
expect you to show him.
Make peace with Enzo
or do not come to my party.

Seemed like you were

No, that's perfect. Thank you.

I said it was perfect.
But you still seemed uncomfortable.
- Oh, it wasn't the bed.

Oh, my bad.
- I can turn this silent.
- (CELL PHONE DINGS)
TOMMY: What? No, listen. Don't worry.
Just, just say hey to Mateo for me.
It's not Teo, actually.
It's Captain Stephens.
Captain Stephens?
The one who used to be at the 124?
Well, since when do you text him?
I was just checking in.
And he said that he's looking
to pick up any shifts.
Okay.
And he he's available all week.
Just in case you wanted
to take a few personal days.
Um, Nancy?
You hate Captain Stephens.
I mean, is he my favorite cup of Oolong?
- No.
- No.
No, the man is a walking
Napoleon complex, and a screamer.
I would never subject you
and TK to that.
Cap, you shouldn't be worrying about us.
You should just focus on your healing.
Okay, this, this procedure
is a grounder, okay?
Doctor Collins has a 99.9% success rate.
But really, you just never know.
Because when my mom had chemo, you know,
they told her to expect
maybe one to two days of nausea,
and she ended up in the ICU for a week.
I'm not your mother, Nancy.
(TENSE, SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING)
Oh. God, I'm so sorry.
DR. COLLINS: Miss Vega.

How you feeling?
Like, I just got
gut punched by Mike Tyson.
But other than that, I'm okay.
So why don't you wanna come down?
Uh, because, uh, I'm afraid of heights.
You climbed pretty high for
a guy who's afraid of heights.
I was looking up the whole
time, man, never down.
Why'd you do that?
Because Rory wanted
her kite back, and
I, uh
I just wanted that little girl
to think I'm Superman, you know?
I get it. Well, you're gonna show her
that you're better than Superman.
- Oh, by falling to my death?
- OWEN: No.
By facing your fear.
Invincible men don't have to do that.
- What about Kryptonite?
- Shut up, Mateo.
So here's what are you gonna do.
You gonna grab my hand,
you're gonna look me in the eye,

We have reason to believe
that Enzo de la Costa

We're here to arrest him.
I'm Enzo. What are the charges?
Securities fraud, conspiracy,
tax evasion, wire fraud.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)
Yeah, I was worried you'd say that.
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
Sorry, kiddo.
Well, the feds seized the McLaren.
They're saying he signed it
over as a form of, uh,
asset concealment.
No wonder he wanted to transfer
the title over so quick.

- TK: No.
- He's still being processed.

a multi-billion-dollar fraud.

He is.
That's not what good people do, Dad.

but I wanted to see how it felt.
I suppose that last growth spurt
of yours didn't help either.
The performance is on Sunday.
What am I gonna do?
Mija, don't worry about it.
I can resize it.
- Really?
- TOMMY: Absolutely. Mama's got you.
- Thank you, Mom.
- TOMMY: (LAUGHS) Yeah.
- Hey, Nancy.
- What up, Iz?
So, I guess I'll add
find a world-class seamstress
to the list.
No. No need, I got it.
But you're not gonna feel like
sewing that by Sunday.
I should hope so.
We've got a shift on Friday.
We've got TK's party.
And you're not doing any of that stuff.
You're having surgery tomorrow.
It is an outpatient procedure.
The doctor said
that you could be sore as hell.
I gave birth to twins.
I think I can handle it.
So you're not planning
on taking any sick leave?
You know, it's just not
a good time for time off.
NANCY GILLIAN: Not a good time?
Cap, (WHISPERS) it's cancer.
(WHISPERING) Okay.
Be that as it may.
I've got a lot of people
depending on me.
And for now, I would
just really appreciate it
if you kept this to yourself.
Does that mean you're
not planning on telling anyone?
The girls have enough
on their plate as it is,
and I don't need the drama at work.
But what about when
you start chemo and radiation?
I will cross that bridge
when I come to it.
(DOORBELL DINGS)
- Hey, hey.
- Hey, Dad.
Come on in.
Hey, Carlos. Love the Stetson.
Thank you. Smells incredible in here.
Thank you. Thank you. Enzo.
Twice in one week.
New record for us, huh?
- Unbelievable.
- Oh.
- So, Jonah
- (JONAH GIGGLES)
I hear that you have recently
gotten into coloring.
- Thank you.
- OWEN: You
Well, you are so welcome.
- Hey!
- He knows what to say.
Yeah. And who's this?
I'm Sofia. Jonah's nanny.
OWEN: Nice to meet you.
No, she is a godsend.
- That's what she is.
- (SOFIA CHUCKLES)
Jonah. Not on the sofa.
See what I mean?
Oh, uh, this is for you.
Oh. Thank you. Ponteroy 2006?
This is more expensive than my rent.
(LAUGHS) Don't be ridiculous.
Your rent is at least
$1,500 more. (CHUCKLES)
Did you Zillow me?
My real estate group
is looking to invest
in properties down here
at your price point.
So, who knows?
Maybe we'll be seeing
a lot more of each other, huh?
One can only dream.
ENZO: So, bottom of the last inning,
the batter pops it sky-high
to shortstop.
Now, I happen to know the
shortstop can handle a fly ball
because we practiced them
all winter in the snow.
Remember, kiddo?
Oh, I remember.
Anyway, as the ball's coming down,
the shortstop's nowhere to be found
because he's got his hands cupped
walking a slug to the outfield.
(ENZO LAUGHS)
It was a stick bug, actually.
In the middle of the game?
Yeah, he was in the base path,
and, you know,
he would have gotten smooshed.
Uh, I made the catch, though.
Oh, I couldn't have been more proud.
And not for the barehanded catch,
but because we knew
we had a true environmentalist
in the making.
Yes, I knew that years before,
when I took him camping in Yellowstone.
TK: The air was so clean,
I wanted to breathe it in
and never let go.
I can hold my breath.
Oh, yeah? Alright,
let's have a contest, then.
You ready?
One, two, three, go.
(TK INHALES)
(LIGHT, PLUCKY MUSIC PLAYING)

- Jonah, you beat me.
- (LAUGHTER)
Good job.
Can you imagine what Mom would say
if she saw all of us at dinner together?
(ENZO AND OWEN CHUCKLE)
Well, she'd never believe it.
Especially after last time.
What happened last time?
TK: Well, these two decided to get into
an arm wrestling match at my bar mitzvah
and the language was, uh,
not so age-appropriate.
- Not my finest hour.
- Or mine.
So who won?
- OWEN: I did.
- ENZO: It was a draw.
- It was a draw?
- You won?
OWEN: It was not a draw.
I had your arm an inch off the table.
Yeah, but my hand
didn't touch the table.
Because I didn't wanna break your wrist.
- No, no, no, no. You fatigued.
- I fatigued?
Regardless. We could let it go. Yeah?
- Sure.
- Absolutely.
(OWEN CHUCKLES)
You know, there is a way
we can settle this right now.
You don't have to draw me a picture.
You guys, you really
do not have to do this.
Now I'm curious.
SOFIA: Me too.
Alright.
Alright. Hands together.
First one to touch the table loses.
Are you two ready?
- OWEN: Yeah, ready.
- Ready.
Okay. Three, two, one, go.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
How you feeling, sport?
- Just fine.
- OWEN: Yeah?
- ENZO: Mm-hmm.
- You're looking a little fatigued.
- TK: Alright, Dad, you proved your point.
- (ENZO GROANS SHARPLY)
Now please stop.
No, not until he says uncle.
- (ENZO GRUNTING)
- Enzo, it's okay. Just let go.
(STRAINING) No can do, kiddo.
- (BONE CRACKS)
- (ENZO GRUNTS SHARPLY)
- Enzo, are you okay?
- ENZO (MUFFLED): My arm!
Oh, he's fine.
The only thing hurt is his ego.
- (ENZO GROANS)
- SOFIA: Oh, my God!
- Ohh!
- SOFIA: Oh, my God!
- Uh
- Gotta put pressure. Okay?
- Gotta stop bleeding.
- (ENZO SCREAMS)
TK: I'm gonna get a bandage.
- Alright. Uh, yeah.
- Uh, Dad, call 9-1-1.
CARLOS REYES: He's gonna
pass out. He's gonna pass out.
Just remember to keep
your arm above your heart
as much as possible, okay?
- Thanks, kiddo.
- Of course.
Carlos and I will meet you
at the hospital, okay?
- PARAMEDIC: All set.
- Okay.
Listen, take some vitamin E
with the pain pills.
That'll really help
with the inflammation.
Oh, yeah. Vitamin E.
That really helps. Thanks.
- (STRETCHER RATTLES)
- (ENZO GROANS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS) What?
- You know what, Dad.
- He started it.
Carlos, did he not egg me on
with the arm wrestling?
I I'd rather not get in the middle.
Oh, well, it's a little late for that.
You're already in the family.
Enzo did kind of start it.
Thank you.
TK: But you finished it, Dad.
You were way out of line.
God, I gotta hand it to him.
I mean, he really arranges the board
in a way that no matter
how the game goes, he wins.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about him saying
that he couldn't come
to your birthday party,
and then he shows up
with a $350,000 car.
- He's spontaneous.
- OWEN: No, he's devious.
From day one, his agenda
has been to turn you against me.
Yeah, well, I'd say
you did a pretty good job
of that yourself tonight.
You know, he's actually a great guy.
You just never cared
to actually get to know him.
Okay, well, why don't you
tell me all the ways
in which he's a great guy?
Alright. Well, he's the reason
I became a firefighter
in the first place.
No, I'm the reason
you became a firefighter.
No, you're the reason
why I almost didn't become
a firefighter, Dad.
TK, I think that's enough.
No, he needs to hear this.
I had so much resentment for
the years that you were gone.
But from eight to eighteen,
Enzo was there.
Yet he's the one who convinced me
that you're actually a good guy
who'd just fallen down a well of pain.
Pain that he had a lot to do with.
He also always told me
to show you grace.
And that's what I
expect you to show him.
Make peace with Enzo
or do not come to my party.

Well, since when do you text him?
I was just checking in.
And he said that he's looking
to pick up any shifts.
Okay.
And he he's available all week.
Just in case you wanted
to take a few personal days.
Um, Nancy?
You hate Captain Stephens.
I mean, is he my favorite cup of Oolong?
- No.
- No.
No, the man is a walking
Napoleon complex, and a screamer.
I would never subject you
and TK to that.
Cap, you shouldn't be worrying about us.
You should just focus on your healing.
Okay, this, this procedure
is a grounder, okay?
Doctor Collins has a 99.9% success rate.
But really, you just never know.
Because when my mom had chemo, you know,
they told her to expect
maybe one to two days of nausea,

You were the only one
that she wanted me to call.
What the hell happened?
She got home from TK's party
and she just collapsed.
Do they know why she collapsed?
They think it was a blood clot,
got into her lung.
More than likely, it's part
of a complication from,
from her surgery.
Her surgery So you know?
About her cancer?
Yeah.
Yeah, she told me.
And, uh, she told the girls too.

It-it was rough, but, you know,
they're-they're strong like their mama.
I'm glad.
But the doctors, they think
that she's gonna be alright?
Yeah. They gave her some blood thinners.
They're gonna hold her for
a couple nights for observation.
But, you know, they said
that the worst part's behind her.

to talk to you right away.

TOMMY: (GROANS WEAKLY) Hey, Nancy.
Hi, Tommy. How are you feeling?
TOMMY: Like I
They're
(WEAKLY) They're saying
that the clot was due to overexertion.
Could have happened to anybody.
- It's not your fault.
- Yes, it is.
You warned me.
Turns out cancer is
more than just a little inconvenient.
Yeah.
TOMMY: It's already kicking my ass. I
I haven't even gotten
to the hard part yet.
It's all the hard part.
But what cancer doesn't know
is that you're about
to start kicking its ass right back.
Just as soon as I get upright again.
Right.
And then it'll be on.
TOMMY: Listen, uh
If I'm gonna win this fight,
I can't do it with one hand
tied behind my back.
I'm gonna need to walk away
from the 126.
And it might be for a long time.
I get it.
Take all the time that you need.
And the good news is, we know
Captain Stephens is ready to plug in.
I don't want Stephens.
I want you.
Me? Captain?
What kinda drugs do they have you on?
I'm not ready for that.
If this week has proven anything
is that you're wise and humble
and patient.
Which is more than I can say
for myself right now.
It's why I would
like to make you
acting Paramedic Captain of the 126.
(NANCY SNIFFLES)
Wow.
I'm honored.
But?
Terrified.
Good.
Well, that's how I know you're ready.
I'll be cheering for you, Captain.
You too, Captain.
