9-1-1 (2018) s05e08 Episode Script

1
A powerful storm hit land in
Haiti yesterday morning,
causing massive destruction
in a nation still recovering
from August's devastating earthquake.
Residents are now grappling
with catastrophic
Man, why anyone would want to live
in the path of constant hurricanes
will never cease to amaze me.
Right.
They should move here, where
nothing bad ever happens.
Oh.
Fair point.
I'm going there.
You're going where?
To Haiti?
Yes.
I want to help with relief efforts.
Since when?
Since people I know
reached out and asked me to.
It's not the first time.
I've always had a
reason to resist, but
I think I ran out of those reasons.
Okay, okay, my head
is spinning right now.
- When?
- Soon.
I have to talk to the hospital first.
I still have a few
surgeries on my calendar.
For how long?
A month or two.
Maybe longer.
So are you leaving me?
It's only for a while.
If you want to be mad
at someone, blame my boyfriend.
He introduced me to a world of folks
who never hesitate to
rush into an emergency.
I think some of that rubbed off.
You know I'm really in
love with you, right?
I had my suspicions.
Oh.
- Don't mess up. Don't mess up.
- Mm-mm.
Oh, you're nervous.
Oh.
- Uh
- Be careful.
Whoa, whoa. Don't be Be careful.
- Oh, you're nervous. I see you shaking.
- Be careful.
- Oh!
- Dude!
- What? You want to play like that, huh?
- Oh, my God.
Mm-hmm.
All right, make room for some food.
Oh, my
Double cheese and onion?
Harry special, right there.
Michael, quit loitering!
Come eat!
Uh
Uh
Hey, uh, you guys,
I have some news.
David is going to Haiti.
Haiti? Why?
Well, he knows some people
there that are doing relief work.
They need doctors. He wants to help.
And he's leaving next week.
Well, how do you feel about that?
I'm proud of him.
You know, sad for me.
But before he goes, uh
I'm gonna propose.
Michael.
No, Athena, it's not what you think.
What, that you want to put a ring on it
because David's leaving
and you're scared?
No, it's just
I've been thinking
about being without him
for the next few months,
and I realized that I don't
want to be without him ever.
You know, I want to be with
him for the rest of my life.
And I don't want him to
leave without knowing that.
Well, that's sweet.
I'm happy for you, Dad.
Oh. Thank you, honey.
So,
now I'm gonna have three dads.
Uh, eh,
something like that.
Father's Day is gonna suck.
- This guy.
- But
I like David, so
you can marry him.
You know, I felt like he was
already part of the family.
Right?
- So, what, you want my blessing?
- Uh, you know,
it would be nice.
But I am going to propose either way.
You know, Bobby and the kids
already said yes,
so you're outvoted.
Well, you know, you're
lucky that I'm happy for you.
- Mm.
- So, congratulations.
Thank you.
So how are you going to propose?
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, um
He doesn't know.
I have never been more unsure
about something in my life.
If you don't see exactly
what you're looking for,
we also do custom.
This is crazy.
You made a phone call,
and now there's somebody at the house
with a box full of jewelry.
It's like it's The Bachelor.
Well, this is L.A.
You know, I can have
groceries, a car and a pizza
all delivered in under two hours.
Though picking one might take some time.
What are you gonna wear?
No.
Hell no.
Wait a minute. Are you proposing
or applying for a bank loan?
I'm picking him up after work.
I wanted to take him to
a fancy place for dinner,
but all of my nice
clothes are pre-pandemic.
Just listen to your gut.
What would David like?
This one is kind of nice.
- Ooh.
- David hates diamonds.
And how do you even know that?
We were watching TV one
time, and a jewelry commercial
came on the two months' salary one.
And he called it a racket.
If my wallet had lips,
it would kiss you.
Have you thought about where
you want to get married?
Like a church or a destination wedding?
- Hawaii's not that far.
- Okay, don't tell me
I need to start thinking
about your wedding,
because I'm not ready for that.
I'm not sure I want to get married.
But I need to be looking
for a dress, like, yesterday.
Yeah.
Th-There's other options.
No. Mm. No.
Not bad.
Lose the tie.
But it's a nice tie.
But you'll thank me later
when he doesn't confuse
you for the maître d'.
You know what? Can't I just propose
with a nice watch?
We can engrave in less than two hours.
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.
He's going to say yes.
So calm down already.
Okay, okay.
All right, all right. I-I love you.
- I love you, too.
- Okay.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
All right, let's do this damn thing.
Uh
Okay.
I am so
blessed and privileged
to be able to spend
this life with you forever.
Oh!
The procedure should
take about two hours.
What if the anesthesia doesn't work?
Or what if it works too
well and he doesn't wake up?
I've been looking for a
way to beat my insomnia.
Can you be serious for one second?
Maya, it's routine.
- It ain't brain surgery.
- Hey.
Well, it is brain surgery.
Darren.
Honey,
don't wait around here fretting.
Go to the movies.
You'll get to see your chick flick,
and I'll get to have my skull cut open.
- It's a win-win.
- Babe.
Sweetheart, it's gonna be fine.
Doc, can you tell her?
I know it sounds serious, Mrs. Morgan,
but today's procedure is routine.
For you. You're a brain surgeon.
We're gonna take good care of him.
That's a promise.
Wait.
Here.
I'm gonna want that back in a few hours.
Okay?
I love you.
I love you.
Hold the elevator!
Thank you.
You ready?
As I'll ever be.
All right, everyone.
Today is a very special day.
Rupert is officially cancer-free.
So if you could please turn
your undivided attention
this way as he rings out.
Uh
Hope you didn't expect a
big ol' speech or anything.
I know you all have places to be, so
let's get this over with.
Did you hear the bell? What is that?
Sounds like a celebration.
Maybe there's cake.
Parker, wait. Floor up.
- Whoa!
- You all right?
Yeah, he's fine, he's fine.
So, so sorry about that.
- It's my fault. I-I didn't see it.
- You're fine, young man.
Just keep your eyes on the
road next time, all right?
Thank you. Come on, let's
go see your mom, yeah?
Hold the elevator, please!
You seem awfully quiet.
Thought you'd be happy to be
seeing the last of this place.
Guess I'm just naturally moody.
Well, we're all going
to really miss you.
You know, Callie, um, I-I want to
- Oh.
- Here you go.
What floor?
Four, please.
Sorry, Rupert, what were you saying?
Um, uh
Take care.
You, too.
Evening, everyone.
Dr. Hale, patient is prepped and ready.
- Time out completed and documented.
- Thanks, Claire.
So did you tell Michael about Haiti?
- How'd he take it?
- About as well as you did.
Okay. Let's get that patient's
camera up and running.
Parker, this is Sofia.
I don't know what to
do with a baby sister.
I mean
- she's a girl.
- And you're her big brother.
All you have to do is
love and protect her.
Tumor is level 3.
Nothing we haven't seen
before, but let's take a moment.
Remember, we might feel
like gods, but we are not.
Let's have faith in
science and each other.

Yes, the tents in the parking lot.
You sure you're okay?

but I'm fine. How do I get inside?
You don't. You leave that to us.
But-but my boyfriend is in there.
- We need a paramedic over here!
- Hey.
Please. Please. Hey, listen.
He's a surgeon. His

People are still being evacuated.
You wait for him out here,

Okay.
Copy. I'll let him know.
- Dr. Hale?
- What do we know?
It was an explosion
in the maternity ward.
Fire has not been contained.
They're advising we close immediately.
We're almost done here.
Maternity ward is on the
east end of the hospital.
Let's continue on until
someone tells us otherwise.
Let's hope they get
that fire under control.
Hey, you're okay, you're okay.
- Good?
- Yeah.
All right, here comes the first one.
It's okay, it's okay.
Here we go.
Let's go down there.
I know, I know.
How's it looking up there, Buck?
Uh, smoke is starting
to breach the door, Cap.
Okay, let's double-time it, guys.
We move quickly and carefully.
Hen, how are they all doing?
All healthy so far, Cap.
Running oxygen for
possible smoke inhalation.
Any available paramedics,
report to the fourth floor
east corridor for evacuation assistance.
Copy that. 118 has two coming your way.
Hen, I want you on the
floor four, eastern side.
Ravi, go with her.
Help, help, help!
Sir, these paramedics
are gonna help you.
My kids. Where's my baby?
Okay, all the babies have been
evacuated from the nursery, sir.
No, no.
Our daughter wasn't in the nursery.
She was with my son, Parker.
He's eight years old.
Sofia.
Shh, it's okay.
It's okay.
Hello? Hello?
Help! Anybody here?
- What's your name, sweetie?
- Parker.
And where are you right now, Parker?
In the hospital.
My mom just had a baby.
Parker, are you with the baby right now?
Yes. I-I lost my parents.
There was an explosion! We're alone!
I woke up on the floor.
Parker, I want you to stay
very low to the ground, okay?
Can you describe where you are?
Do you see a room number?
It should be right outside the door.
- Can you see it?
- Yes.
I see one. It's 318.
Room 318. Great, Parker.
You're doing fantastic, honey.
- Should we leave? Where should we go?
- No, no, no, no.
You stay right where you
are. I'm sending help to you.
Just keep close to the
ground for me, okay, honey?
You and the baby stay
away from the door.
Hey, I need you on the third floor.
We got an eight-year-old boy, Parker.
He's trapped up there
with his baby sister.
I thought that floor was cleared.
Well, they must've missed
him in all the chaos.
He dialed 911 from a
patient's room, 318.
Back up the ladder.
No, fire was right outside the nursery.
Stairs.
Dispatch, my guys are on the way.
Copy, 118.
- How many more up there?
- Hard to tell.
But there's a guy helping
dig people out of the rubble.
- One of ours?
- No, one of ours.
- A nurse?
- A patient.
LAFD! Anybody up here?
There's one more up
there He won't leave.
LAFD. Sir!
LAFD. Sir, we got to
get you out of here.
I'm fine. Help me move this.
Oh, my God.
- No pulse.
- It's not Callie.
- Sir, the hospital's been evacuated.
- No, no.
There's-there's still
someone here who needs help.
- Callie!
- Hold up. No, no, sir?
You need to go now
and let us do our job.
It's not safe in here. Sir!
- It's Rupert.
- Okay, Rupert,
we appreciate your
help, but you must leave.
I'm not leaving without Callie.
Listen to me, it's too
dangerous in here, okay?
I'm not asking you! I am telling you.
I survived stage-four cancer.
I can survive this.
- Ravi.
- I'll get him.
Sir, please wait.
Yes.
Dr. Hale, the fire has
breached the fire door
and is entering the oncology ward.
All nonessentials evacuate now.
I'm staying with this patient.
Then so are we.
All right.
I want all oxygen and anesthesia
to this room shut off immediately.
Start bagging.
Parker, honey, you doing okay?
You doing okay?
Parker?
I put the towels under the door,
but the smoke's still coming in.
Is there water in the room?
A bottle or-or a pitcher?
- Yeah, a pitcher.

Pour it on the towel you
placed under the door, okay?
And soak it really well, okay, baby?
Let me know when you're done.
Done.
Hello? Hello?
Hello?

Unit 118, this is Dispatcher Collins.
We've lost connection
with a minor caller
in room 318.
Line is dead.
Copy that, Dispatch. We're almost there.
This is us.
Damn, it's bad up here.
Heading that way,
but this floor is fully involved.
I told him to take shelter in the room,
shut the door and seal
it with a towel. Room 318.
We can't go any further
without a hose line.
Guess these will have to do.
Aah, too hot! The flames are too high!
Firefighter Buckley, Firefighter Diaz,
are you there?
Do you copy?
Firefighter Diaz, do you copy?
Did you make it to room 318?
There is no room 318.
It's gone.
Fire took it.
Copy.
I think you need to take five.
- I'm fine.
- No, just take it anyway.
911. What's your emergency?
Michael!
Michael!
Athena!
How did you?
May called me.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine!
It's David he's the one still
inside the burning building.
LAFD is calling for a mandatory
evac we've got about
five minutes before they come in
here and drag us out themselves.
That won't be necessary. Almost done.
Margins are clear.
He's hemorrhaging.
- Blood pressure's dropping.
- Everything's dropping.
I have to stop the bleeding.
Approaching stroke territory.
Okay, you all need to leave
now. I mean it. Go now.
With all due respect, Doctor,
we leave when you leave.
What do we say? Faith in science.
And each other.
Hen, over here! Come on!
- Is she alive?
- Callie? Callie?
Thank God.
Ravi, get a tourniquet on that leg.
Callie, your pulse is strong.
Did anything hit y-your
neck or-or your head?
- Don't think so.
- Okay.
Give me some fingers and toes.
Okay, good, good,
good. That's very good.
I'm gonna get this collar on your neck,
bandage your wound and get
you the hell out of here, okay?
So glad we found you, Callie.
When that explosion went off
Can't believe you're here.
You're not a patient anymore.
Yeah, well, I got used to this place.
I'm not leaving just yet.
Get her out of here.
Get out!
Rupert?
You okay?
This kid, he was eight years old.
And his sister?
I know.
What are we supposed to do with that?
We put it away and we save the next one.
Parker.
They said they were coming
to get me and my sister.
Parker, I need you to stay
with me on the phone, okay?
Firefighter Diaz, this
is Dispatcher Bates.
- Do you copy?
- Go ahead, Dispatch.
- Did you get into room 318?
- Negative.
318 was lost to the fire.
Well, the little boy
just called me back.
Uh, hold on, he-he's alive?
- Where is he?
- He's still saying 318.
Is it possible you
were at the wrong room?
No, but I think he was.
Is there an 81E in the hospital?
Yes. On the fifth floor.
He was reading, he was
reading a reflection!
Let's go!
They're on five.
Once you get past the elevators,
they're the third room on the left.
Copy that. Almost there!
74! 76!
- 75!
- Let's go! Keep going, keep going!
This is 82!
Hey, there we go
that's 318 backwards.
LAFD! Anyone in there?
Fire department!
Baby's alive.
His pulse is stable, but he's out.
Must've been the smoke.
There you go. It's okay.
I got you.
Let's go! Let's go! Come on!
Dispatch, this is Firefighter Diaz.
Got both kids alive.
Evacuating now. Let's go, let's go!
Thank you.
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
Not now.
You don't need to be in here.
Well, I just thought you might
like to know the kids are okay.
The little boy Parker
and his baby sister.
They found them.
- What?
- The little boy.
He gave you the wrong room number.
What-what do you?
How is that possible?
He called back.
He saw the numbers in a
reflection in the hall.
You figured that out?
A firefighter did when I radioed him.
So I guess you could say
this was a group effort.
You were part of that, too.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
Take all the time you need.
- Okay.
- I'll be here.
Yeah, thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, thank
I need as much help
over here as possible.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Make your way over here! Let's go!
Athena.
Anything?
No.
Nothing.
Bobby!
Um, excuse me.
Where's David?
Have you seen him? I-I
think he's in one of the ORs.
Well, he should've
been evacuated by now.
What's he still doing in there?
He was in the middle of surgery
- when the explosion happened.
- He didn't come out.
I think he's still in there.
You got to find him, Bobby.
I will see what I can do.
He can't die on me.
He is not gonna die.
He's lost 250 cc's and counting.
Let's have blood on standby.
- On it.
- There's the aneurysm.
It's already ruptured.
I need a clip to stop the bleeding.
Generator failure. We
are on battery backup.
Start a timer. We've got 20 minutes.
Internal bleeding, compact fracture.
She lost a lot of blood,
but her vitals are good.
What about him?
Broken neck. No signs of life.
Hey.
You okay?
I was supposed to save him.
Not the other way around.
You did everything you could, Ravi.
I don't see how you do this.
I have faith in Bobby.
And so should you.
- David.
- I can't now, Bobby.
We need to evacuate now.
If I walk out of this
room, this man dies,
and I can't let that happen.
I promised his wife.
And I promised your husband.
Michael's not my husband.
Well, he wants to be.
He's standing outside this hospital
right now with a ring in his pocket
Or maybe a watch, I'm not sure
Waiting to propose.
- I have to finish.
- I'll give you ten minutes.
I need 12.
I will do my best.
All available units, respond
to OR Five for defend in place.
I repeat, all available units,
respond to OR Five for defend in place.
Cap needs us. Let's go! Come on!
- Unit 153 responding.
- Copy.
162 en route.
243 responding
to defend in place.
All right, I want a unit on each floor.
We've got to stay ahead of
this thing. Now go, go, go, go!
Two more floors. Let's go.
We're gonna give them 12 minutes.
Excuse me, miss, are
you going to be okay?
My husband was in surgery,
and I haven't seen him yet.
Can we pray with you?
Okay.
Lord
Hey, we got it, Cap! Eddie?
All right, you grab everything
you can get your hands on
and seal the base of that door.
All right, let's go!
The fire door's been breached.
We don't have much time.
We can't close up until the
blood starts perfusing.
All right, Ravi, left!
- Michael. Michael, look.
- Yeah.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
There he is.
Oh!
I got him.
You. It's you.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes?
- Yes.
- Oh, my God.
Over there.
Callie?
How are you feeling?
Where's Rupert?
He didn't make it.
And I'm not so sure we would
have, either, without him.
I found this on him.
I can't read it.
Would you?
Sure.
"Dear Callie
All my life, I've been
one of the unlucky ones."
Glass half full because
that's simply all life had to offer me.
So when I got cancer,
I thought, "Of course."
Just another small pour from life to me
as we clinked our glasses
for one final goodbye.
But when you came into that chemo room
with a smile on your face,
you changed my perspective.
Taught me that I could
pour myself a tall glass
and stay a little while
longer if I fought like hell.
And we did.
I beat it.
We beat it.
Together.
I am eternally grateful for you
and your faith in me
the last three years.
I pray to God I will not see
you inside this hospital again,
but I sure do hope to see you
on the other side. Take care, my dear.
And thank you.
Rupert.
I get why he did what he did.
Rupert?
I spent practically my
entire childhood in hospitals.
Those doctors and nurses
become your family.
I didn't know that.
It's not exactly fun party talk.
It was chemo on the weekends
instead of soccer tournaments.
But those people cheered
me on just the same.
They saved my life.
So I get why he ran
back into the building.
To pay it forward.
I guess that's why you do it, too.
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
Better.
Thanks for earlier.
Not sure I really did anything.
My number one rule:
no crying at work.
Least I didn't do it on the floor.
Sorry you had to see that.
Don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't see anything.
- Oh, let's see the bling.
- Ooh!
- Nice.
- It's amazing.
All right, everybody.
As it turns out, I have one
more announcement to make.
Go for it, Dad.
Okay, as you know,
David is going to use
his incredible gifts
to help those in need in Haiti.
- All right.
- Mm, aw.
- Yeah, that's so wonderful.
- And, uh,
I've decided to go with him.
You know, I-I can't save lives,
but I can help rebuild one.
Dad.
Now, Harry has already
given me his approval,
and I hope that you would, too.
That's amazing.
I'm really proud of you.
Oh.
I learned from watching you.
All of you, really.
You know, with, uh, my brain tumor
and then the pandemic
and-and then my job,

Felt a little lost.
But last night,
I watched people come together
and save someone that
they didn't even know.
More than one.
And I said to myself,
"I can do that, too."
That's wonderful, Michael.

Athena?
I'm happy for you.
But I am gonna miss you.
Oh, we make a good team, baby.
Oh, but we'll always be family.
I will never regret marrying you.
Thanks for coming to get me.
Always.
May, I love you with all my heart, baby.
All right, on three, everyone.
Okay? One, two, three.
Merry Christmas!
Where's Bobby? I need my partner.
- Uh, there he is. Hey.
- Hey.
I thought I was your partner.
Home isn't a place.
It's people.
- We got you these on the way back.
- Aw.
We are so proud of you.
Well, who knew

Look up here.
- Hey, hey, wait. Bobby, get in here.
- Oh, no.
- I shouldn't. It's just

- Okay. All right.
- Right there.
We're still family, baby.
- We'll always be family.
- Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Bobby, my man.
Yeah, man, don't do that. Get over here.
