9-1-1 (2018) s06e04 Episode Script

1
Southern California,
home to some of North America's
most beautiful landscapes
and an astounding variety of wildlife.
Witness the Homo sapien.
The most intelligent
of the order of primates.
A fascinating species.
With a highly sophisticated intelligence
and endless curiosity
about the natural world.
Ah
The female Southern
California Ornithologist.
Beautiful. Majestic.
Just the kind of bird watcher you
could bring home to meet your parents.
Clearly being pursued
by a lesser, hopeful mate.
I feel sexilicious, sexi ♪
What's up?
Just start without me.
Knowing Carol, it's probably
a carrot cake anyway.
Hey, check this out.
Tons of Lumbricus terrestris under here.
- Ooh.
- Hey, I got to go.
Because I'm busy, okay?
I I got to go. Bye.
Where were we, my love?
Oh, no.
What the hell are they doing?
Hey!
That's not a safe place to be.
Hey, hey!
- What?
- You got to get out of there!
That's not a safe place to be!
- Aah!
- Aah!
Dispatch said a tree fell on a victim?
Yeah, but probably not
how you're imagining.
He was standing underneath the root ball
of a fallen tree when it snapped
back up on top of him.
That's a thing that happens?
Well, sometimes after storms
or if other debris pinning
the downed tree falls away,
the tension from the root system
still underground can pull it back up.
- Like a mighty oak slingshot.
- Yeah, one that weighs several tons.
Hurry! I can hear him
moaning under there!
Okay, all right. That's good.
That means he's still alive.
Let me have you clear out.
Make some room for my team to work.
All right.
Eddie, Chimney,
start digging access holes on the side.
Copy that.
All right.
Dispatch, this is Captain 118.
We've got a victim
with multiple crush wounds.
We're gonna need a air ambulance
at the nearest clearing
to our GPS coordinates.
Copy that, Captain 118.
I need a chain saw to
separate the tree from these roots.
118, Medevac Three
is eight minutes out from your location.
Buck, on me.
I need a anchor point
and a hinge so we can
expose that root ball.
Anchor point secure.
I see the head.
And I got a foot.
- Okay, pulleys are secure.
- Okay.
Shouldn't take much to pull it down now.
I got a pedal pulse.
It's weak, but it's there.
Airway is patent.
Breath is severely diminished
by the pressure of the tree.
All right, Chim, run a peripheral line
of saline through his ankle.
His body's gonna want to decompensate
when we remove the pressure
from the tree.
- All right.
- Let me have that turnout.
I'll use it to protect his airway.
Here's the chain saw, Cap.
I'm in, Cap.
All right, everyone in position to pull.
Give me those jumbos.
Once I cut the roots on
this side, we can tip the tree over.
All right.
All right, on my mark.
One, two
Three!
Come on!
Almost there.
Buck, clear out!
Timber.
He's not breathing.
Pulse is bottoming out. Looks like
massive internal bleeding.
Let's get him on a board.
On three. One, two, three.
Starting compressions.
Eddie, get him on a Lifepak. Bag him.
Please, you've got to save my brother.
- Your brother?
- Yeah, he and I have been
bird watching since we were kids.
All right, preparing to shock.
Clear.
No conversion. I'm going again.
Clear.
Normal rhythm. We got a pulse.
Oh, thank God.
Keep bagging him
while we prepare for transport.
On three. One, two, three.
Up.
Uh, if there's not enough room for you
to fly in the helicopter
with him, I'd be happy
to drive you
to the hospital to meet him.
Pretty sure there's
enough room on the helo
for you to ride with your brother.
Uh, well, then
maybe you want to take my number?
Uh, it can be dangerous out here alone
for a female Southern California
ornithologist.
Are you seriously asking me out
after my brother almost died?
I thought when she said
it was her brother
that maybe that was my shot.
Well
I think maybe you have bad instincts.
Better luck next time.
So, you just say yes to everything?
Yeah, he calls it radical acceptance.
What does that mean?
Yeah, well, so his theory is that
we've all become too comfortable
in our lives, right? We
we go to the same jobs every day.
We hang out with the same
groups of people.
We eat at the same restaurants,
we shop at the same stores.
We don't do anything
that makes us feel uncomfortable
or-or that just scares us.
What about running
into burning buildings?
No, it doesn't count.
That's just work, you know?
Uh, before I came to L.A.,
I had all these adventures.
You know? I-I went new places,
I tried new things, I met new people.
That's 'cause you were
searching for something.
What are you looking for now?
That's what I'm gonna find out.
By opening myself up to possibility.
Okay. What about this?
You quit your job, become my nanny
and then I can stop
looking at these résumés.
That-that's gonna be a hard no.
No. The Age of Absolutely
isn't about dramatic life changes,
and becoming your new nanny
would feel like a dramatic life change.
Well, so does
hiring one. They're all either 12
or a potential serial killer.
Come on, don't limit them
They could be both.
Uh, listen, I-I got to go.
Uh, I'm meeting my old roommate
Connor and his new wife
- for dinner tonight.
- Whoa, frat boy Connor?
- That guy got married?
- Yeah, like, two years ago.
Uh, we-we kind of lost touch, but
reached out recently, invited
me to dinner, and I said
Absolutely?
There you go.
Good luck.
This is the wrong kind of mayo.
It was on sale.
You know, Dad, sometimes
you get what you pay for.
Great. I'm raising a condiment snob.
And an impulse shopper.
What is this?
Cereal.
Not sure a nutritionist would agree.
I got us the healthy one, too.
Balanced.
Lucky you're cute.
Oh, it's your school.
Wait, Dad, we didn't
finish the groceries.
Hello?
Yes, this is Mr. Diaz.
Really?
I had no idea.
And how long has Christopher
been skipping Science Club?
I called maintenance.
They're gonna try to come by tomorrow.
Great.
Okay. Have a good shift.
Thanks.
You got a minute, Cap?
Don't call me that.
Come on, just this once?
No.
Since you're here, that must mean
- that Samuel's doing better?
- Yes, he is.
He's finally getting
settled back at home
and Athena's finding
somebody to come by,
take care of her parents
after she leaves.
When's that gonna be?
Probably end of next week.
How are you doing?
Good.
I uploaded everything
to FireStat this morning,
- the duty rosters are
- I wasn't asking about work.
I already know you did a great job.
Who called you? Chim?
Karen.
How much did she yell?
No, she kept a perfectly
respectable tone
the entire time she called me an idiot.
I am sorry, Hen.
I shouldn't have put this on you.
I volunteered.
It's not your fault
I flunked out of medical school.
Well, maybe I can call them,
tell them what happened,
and you could retake the test.
Thanks, Bobby.
I appreciate the gesture,
but I don't think there's
anything either of us can do.
Okay, well, maybe I can't fix
the things at medical school,
but I can do something
Give you a little time off.
You've been pushing
too hard for too long,
you're exhausted and you need a break.
So take as many days or weeks
as you need to get recharged.
That's an order.
Time off?
Not sure I even know
what to do with that.
Try doing nothing.
And if anyone asks you to do anything,
just say no.
So is that when you
- moved into the frat house?
- Hold on.
It wasn't a total frat house.
Okay? We had real jobs.
Five guys under one roof?
That's a frat house.
We weren't that bad. Or were we?
There-there was this one time when
Well, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
We were smart enough not to
bring women back to that place.
It wasn't really conducive
to romantic evenings.
Oh. Well, good.
'Cause, before me,
I'd like to think there were
- no romantic evenings.
- Really? Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Uh, listen, I don't-I don't even know
How-how did you guys meet?
The old-fashioned way. At a bar.
He was picking up takeout and I
was sitting at the bar eating, alone.
Not just eating alone
but reading a book.
I was intrigued, so I sat next to her
and ate my takeout right there.
And I thought he was
some sort of weird stalker.
'Cause, I mean, who talks
to strangers anymore?
- Right, right.
- And who reads actual books?
Anyway, I charmed her
with my corny jokes,
- He did.
- And
- that was it.
- That was it.
Wow, and-and your frat house days
- are finally behind you.
- Yeah.
- We actually bought a house last year.
- We did.
You guys are really doing it all, huh?
Marriage, house, and and kids?
Kind of.
We've sort of hit a snag
on that last part.
It's crazy. When I was single, all I did
was pray not to be pregnant, and now
Nothing seems to get the job done.
Uh, I'm sorry to hear that.
You know, I-I think more people
struggle with fertility issues
than-than we realize.
But there's lots options now, right?
There's-there's drugs,
IVF, even surrogacy.
Kameron's not the problem.
I am.
Not enough swimmers.
Uh, um
Huh, I'm-I'm sorry to hear that.
Uh, th um, that must be tough.
You have no idea.
- But we're looking at other options.
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, specifically, sperm donor options.
- Nice.
Which is why we actually
invited you to dinner.
We wanted to know
if you'd consider being our sperm donor.
He's been lying right to my face.
Has he never lied to you before?
I mean, little things.
Like, did he brush his teeth
before he went to bed or
did he put the empty milk
carton back into the fridge.
But not like this.
Well, in his defense, Science Club
does sound kind of boring.
Joining was his idea.
Probably knew it would make
a great cover. Smart kid.
So, wait, if he wasn't
going to Science Club,
then where was he?
At the park with his friends,
apparently.
Which I really don't understand, because
he knows that I'd take him there
anytime he wants.
Maybe that's the problem.
No offense, but Christopher
might be getting to that age
where he doesn't want
Dad around all the time.
Yeah, kids do grow to crave privacy.
Half the thrill sometimes
is doing something and thinking
you're getting away with it.
He should've told me that
before he got caught lying,
got grounded for one week.
No video games, no exemptions.
Tough but fair.
Notice you're being
awfully quiet over there, Buck.
Christopher hasn't said anything
to you about these little
secrets, has he?
Uh, to me? No, no-no secrets here.
Buck probably can't relate
because he always
tells us the truth
about his life, often in
- excruciatingly specific detail.
- Mm.
Hen, you're supposed to be on leave.
What are you doing here?
I, uh uh, swung by
to, uh, pick up some kombucha
that I left in the fridge.
Really? Where is it?
I couldn't find it.
Hmm.
I guess somebody drank it.
Hmm.
My house is too damn quiet, Cap.
Karen's off at work,
Denny's with his friends.
I have no tests to study for
and the silence is kind of deafening.
I-I-I just needed to come somewhere
with a little bit more noise.
Hen, I say this with love.
Don't be here when we get back.
Dispatch, 118 is on the scene,
Eighth and Alameda.
Five cars and one bike.
All right. How you feeling sir?
I'm just happy I wore a helmet.
Feels like you have a broken fibula.
Yeah.
My left leg took the brunt
of the hit, but
I was able to ride out of it, so
Must be a some kind of bike.
- What happened?
- I was just
cruising on my steel frame,
and that idiot over there
swerved into the bike lane.
He hit me and then veered
into that oncoming car.
He was driving like a crazy person!
Or a drunk one.
Smells like a distillery in here.
Chim, you need a coroner?
Nope, he's still alive. Pulse is strong
with this one.
The other side
LAFD. Can you hear me?
Sir, can you hear me?
No response to sternal rub.
I'm gonna take his vitals.
We need to cut him out
and transport him, ASAP.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do not do that.
Oh, my God.
Where the hell is he going?
Wait a sec, is Chim still in the car?
Dispatch, be advised we have
a possible drunk driver who just
drove off with one of our
paramedics in a silver Prius.
Copy that. Sending backup
- to engage pursuit.
- Buck!

- Hey, there.
- Hey.
What you doing over there?
Guess I'm reverting to my bachelor ways
while you're gone.
Well, you won't
be a bachelor much longer.
Found someone to help Mommy and Daddy,
so my services
won't be needed much longer.
Really?
Well, how was your visit with Harry?
It was good.
I mean, I think he's grown
half a foot since we last saw him.
- Ah.
- But he seems happy.
I mean, he really loves
being with Michael and David.
- Well, that's good, right?
- I guess. I had to
fight every instinct within me
not to shove him in the car
and make a beeline to the airport.
I guess your kids aren't the only ones
with growing pains.
Yeah, tell me about it.
House feels really weird
with only me in it.
Well, just a few more days,
then there'll be two of us
in that empty nest.
I can't wait.
- Love you.
- I love you, too.
Mwah.
Hey, Dad.
So, how's the little inmate doing?
Electing for self-isolation in his cell.
I finally got Christopher to actually
go to his Science Club meeting today,
but 20 minutes in, I get a call
from his teacher saying
he's refusing to participate.
She said it was an extracurricular club,
so if he doesn't want
to be there, I should just
- take him home.
- That doesn't sound like Christopher.
Yeah.
I tried to talk about it with him and
- he ignored me the whole drive back.
- That part
That part sounds like us. The
old Diaz family cold shoulder.
Your Abuela originated it,
but as I recall, you perfected it.
Ha, ha, very funny.
Everyone keeps on telling me
this is normal and that I should
give him some room to grow, but
I can't help it if it's my instinct
to always want to protect him.
You know, the world is tough.
And he's not.
Maybe you're overcorrecting because
because I didn't protect you enough.
You had to grow up a lot faster
than you should have.
But that doesn't mean you can
keep Christopher a kid forever.
You can't stop the biological
clock from ticking.
There's a snooze button I can hit?
You know, children,
they don't just pick up
on the things we say and do.
They also pick up
on the things we don't.
If you don't give Christopher
some independence,
let him know you trust him,
how is ever gonna learn
to trust himself?
Connor. Uh
- Hey.
- Hey, man.
Do you have a minute?
Look, I just wanted to come by
and apologize for the other night.
We pretty much blindsided you,
and I really feel terrible about that.
Uh, yeah, you did catch me off guard.
I know.
I haven't seen you in three years
and the first time we reconnect,
I asked for body fluids.
That wasn't the right way to ask you.
Is there is a a right way
to ask that question?
Probably not.
Mm.
Come on. Take a seat.
Uh, so, hey, are you-are you doing okay?
Do you know what it feels like
to feel like a total failure as a man,
and like you're letting down
the woman you love?
Uh, probably not in the same way
you feel right now.
I assumed it was her.
You know, we were trying
for months, changing her diet,
ovulation thermometers, the whole bit.
Never occurred to me that
I couldn't do this for her.
For us.
Yeah, I-I got to ask you.
Why me?
I mean, you could go to
a sperm bank, you could-you could pick
someone with perfect genes.
Yeah. We could flip through a book
and know stuff like their eye color,
whether they're gonna
be a scientist or an artist
or what their body type is.
But we couldn't know
if they'd be a good person.
How they treat
the people they care about.
I know those things about you.
That's way more important
than the superficial stuff.
I
I swear, this isn't me
trying to convince you.
No, it's, uh
it's nice to hear.
Thank you for saying that.
Thank you for hearing me out.
I know this is asking too much.
I'm letting you off the hook here.
You do not need to do this.
The SeeWahPah laughed an evil laugh.
She creeps to the tent
the boy was hiding in.
Then
- Uh
- The brave woodsman.
The brave woodsman and his spotted dog
with five toes on his paws
ran to the woods.
And the five-toed dog barks.
Then, the SeeWahPah
runs through the woods
on its backward feet,
and was never heard from again.
Very good, mija. Very good.
- Mommy?
- Uh-huh?
- Are Ciguapas real?
- I don't know.
That's what abuela says.
But I've never seen one.
Not even when you lived
in Santo Domingo?
Why don't you help me make dinner?
Can I cut the vegetables?
Clari, it's time.
911, what's your emergency?
You have to help. It's my dad.
Is someone hurting him?
No, he's here.
He found us. He's gonna kill us.
Okay, can you tell me
your name and address?
Claribelle. 215 Greencrest Street.
Hi, Claribelle. I'm Maddie.
I'm sending help to you right away.
Are you home alone?
No. My mom's here, too.
She sent me to call you.
She always said that if my Dad came,
- I should call 911 right away.
- Claribelle,
can you give me your address again?
215 Greencrest Street.
- Are you sure?
- I-I
I don't know.
Get out of my house!
Please, Maddie, help us! He's inside!
It's okay, honey, just hold on for me.
Everything okay?
I have a domestic battery in progress,
but I can't locate them.
Cell phone towers say Lincoln Park,
but the address she gave me
is showing up as invalid.
- What is it?
- 215 Greencrest.
He already broke down the front door.
They don't have a lot of time.
If there's that much commotion going on,
- maybe someone heard it.
- Another 911 call?
Hang on. I'll go check.
Claribelle, you still with me?
Yes, I'm here. Are you sending help?
Soon, sweetheart.
Where are you in the house?
In my room.
Is there any place you
can hide until help gets there?
- Uh, my closet?
- Good, go in there.
215 Glencrest.
Police and RA are already en route.
No, wait, if he hears them coming, uh,
he could make her a hostage.
Radio them again
with an update
and tell them to run cold.
On it.
Claribelle, help is almost there.
I don't hear her anymore.
Do you think she's dead?
I don't know.
He always told my Mom that she
doesn't belong in this country.
And that he could take me away
from her if he wants to,
and she'll never see me again.
- That's why we ran.
- Claribelle?
Claribelle.
- Baby?
- He's looking for me.
- Where are the police?
- They'll be there soon.
But he's probably gonna find you first.
- Claribelle!
- He's gonna take me.
- I don't want to go.
- Hey, listen to me.
- You have to go with him.
- Claribelle.
I know it's scary,
but it's the safest thing
- for you to do right now.
- Claribelle?
Claribelle? Baby.
Let him take you.
Please don't make me, Maddie.
I promise it's gonna be okay.
Claribelle, baby, where are you?
He's here.
Don't let him see you have a phone.
There you are.
Why would you lock the door like that
- on me, sweetheart?
- Where's Mom?
Mommy's resting.
- We have to go, now.
- I'm not leaving Mom.
We have to go now.
Come on.
Mommy!
Claribelle.
Claribelle.
I'm not leaving my Mommy!
You really should
treat your father with more
Claribelle.
Don't move.
Dispatch, we've recovered the girl.
She's okay.

Oh, thank God.
Sorry, I-I know you're-you're
supposed to be relaxing. I
No, no, no, no.
I have never been happier to see someone
show up unannounced
at my house, ever. Please.
Uh, guessing the relaxing
is-is not going so well.
Doing nothing is giving me more anxiety
than trying to do everything.
I'm not wired for this.
What's happening?
What do you know about sperm donors?
And you didn't say no?
Mm. I didn't feel like I could.
Right. Your "age of absolutely" thing.
No, no, no.
Not even just 'cause of that.
I didn't want to turn them down.
I felt bad for them.
Which is very kind of you.
I mean, me and Karen
have been where they are.
When you're trying and you
want it, and it's just not happening,
it's devastating.
If you said yes,
you'd be changing their lives.
Right, which is-is, uh, a pro.
You know, a-a big pro.
If I can help ease this burden for them,
why would I not do that?
'Cause you'd be also changing your life.
Yeah, come on, for, like
a few minutes?
Ew. Stop.
But, seriously,
for the rest of your life.
This isn't an anonymous donation, Buck.
You won't have to wonder whether
there's a kid out there with your DNA.
You're gonna know there is.
You'll probably get Christmas cards.
The main thing to ask yourself
is are you capable of doing this?
I think we both know I'm
I'm-I'm capable, uh,
- that's why they asked me.
- Are you capable
of being a father and walking away?
Because that's what
they're really asking you.
Donor, not dad.
Exactly.
You'd be changing their lives, but
they're not necessarily
inviting you to stick around
- and be a part of it.
- Right.
Yeah.
I guess-I guess I never really
thought about that part.
You need to.
Huh.
Hey Maddie. How's your day going?
- Yesterday was a wild ride.
- Yeah.
It was. Thanks for your help with that.
I can't believe you were able
to find that other call.
- I heard mom's doing okay.
- Yeah.
Some broken bones, lacerations.
She'll heal.
Poor kid.
Can't even imagine what
it must have been like for her.
Not just yesterday, but all those years
seeing her dad put hands on her mom.
Yeah, I don't wish for anyone
to go through what
that girl and her mom have.
Me either.
Don't get me wrong.
My mom totally dated
a bunch of losers after my dad died.
But none of them
ever hurt her in that way.
And then she finally
found my stepdad, so
Happy ending.
Dispatch 118 is at the sorority house.
This way!
Okay, let's make some room.
You have to help him, please.
Please help Hoover.
That's a
- Yep.
- You have to help him, please.
Okay, I want everybody to take
a step back, including you.
He's in our hands now.
- What do we do, Cap?
- What we always do.
Start assessing the patient.
Let me take a look.
Got a pulse. Thready, but it's there.
Respirations are shallow.
I count six breaths a minute.
Got a lot of drool around the mouth.
Okay, hand me the Ambu bag. I'm
gonna support his respirations.
Okay. Dispatch said this was
an OD. What did this dog
- get into?
- Nope, sorry.
- What did he eat?
- He found it on the floor.
He wasn't supposed to eat it.
You didn't think a dog named Hoover
would eat anything he could find?
I don't know. Did President Hoover
eat random things?
Hoover, like the vacuum.
Oh.
Oh.
It's opioids.
How much was in there?
It wasn't mine. Someone must've
brought it with them.
This isn't working. I lost his pulse.
It's an OD. How about Narcan?
Not a veterinarian.
I've never given Narcan
- to an animal before.
- Hen would know.
Thought we weren't supposed to call her.
It's an emergency, clearly.
What? You're you're coding a what?
N-No, no. Hang on, hang on.
I need someone else to confirm
this is actually happening.
Tell Buck what you're coding.
Uh, it's a dog. OD'd on opioids.
Are you two drunk?
Absolutely.
It's 2:00 in the afternoon.
It's 5:00 somewhere.
How much does it weigh?
- 15 pounds, give or take.
- Okay.
Point oh four kilograms per milligram.
That's six point eight
Two point seven milligrams Narcan.
- 2.7.
- Thanks, Hen.
Come on, buddy.
- All right.
- Ready?
Come on, buddy.
- Hoover!
- Oh, he's okay.
All right.
Come here, little buddy. Here we go.
- Oh, wait.
- Let's go.
Wait, where are you taking Hoover?
To a vet and then
into protective custody.
- That's a thing?
- It is now.
Mm.
You did math in your head.
I know, right?
Take that, doctor professor lady
who flunked me.
- She's an idiot.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, so what
You failed some stupid test,
but your-your instincts
are incredible.
You would have made
one heck of a doctor.
Mm.
Are you guys set
for Logan's birthday party next weekend?
- You're going, right?
- Yeah. Totally.
Logan said he would have anything,
but his mom wouldn't let him.
Then Logan said that he was getting
a batting cage for his birthday.
It's gonna be so cool.
Off. Now.
I got to go.
What do you think you're doing?
What part of "no video games"
for a week" don't you understand?
It's not fair. You never
let me do anything on my own.
I'm not a baby, and
you always treat me like one.
I don't think you're a baby, but
you sure are acting like one.
And you're acting like a jerk!
Do not use that tone with me.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I don't want you to feel like a baby.
And I don't want you
to think I'm a jerk.
But okay.
Maybe sometimes I can't help myself.
You know, my instinct
is to always protect you, Chris.
I don't need you to protect me.
Well, I'm not sure I know how to stop.
You're growing up on me, bud.
But you still need to respect me
and to be honest with me.
We need to look out for each other.
You Talk to each other
about what we're going through, okay?
- Okay.
- And I love you,
but when you break the rules,
there are gonna be consequences.
And facing them
is what makes you a young man.
And we've already established, clearly,
that's what you are, right?
Right.
So once your punishment's over,
we can
talk about you going to the park
and hanging out with
your friends without me around.
- Awesome. Thanks, Dad.
- Don't thank me just yet,
'cause your punishment
just got extended by one week.
Oh, come on.
No. Now get to bed.
Night, Dad.
Good night.
May I come in?
Hi, Claribelle.
How do you
- I'm Maddie.
- Maddie?
- Hi.
- You were the one that sent the help?
Yes. Uh, and I brought someone
that I think could help some more.
Hello, Lourdes. My name is Yvette.
I'm an immigration lawyer. I work
with victims of domestic violence.
I don't understand.
Uh, Claribelle said
that you were undocumented.
Stephen promised that
he will get me my green card,
but he never did.
He said that I could not
get one without him.
He lied to you.
Under the Violence Against Women Act,
you can self-petition.
You do not need
to ask your abuser for anything.
So, I'll get to stay here?
I think we got a good shot.
And if all goes well, yes,
you'll get to stay here.
Why?
Why would you do this for us?
I've been where you are.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Maddie, wait!
Thank you.
You are a very strong and smart girl.
You took good care of your mom.
Be proud of yourself.
I just did what she told me.
She taught me how to run.
No.
She taught you how to fight.
I think we should move
these two bullet points to a new slide.
No one's gonna be able to read that.
- Ms. Wilson.
- I-I I'm-I'm sorry to barge in.
Your office said you were in here.
Um, do you have a minute?
Why don't you get started
on those changes.
We'll go through the rest later.
- Okay.
- Come on in.
How can I help you?
Give me a second chance.
I-I have good instincts.
A-And a lot of paramedic
experience in the field.
I-I care. I care about patients
and saving lives.
I-I know that I completely
bombed on my final.
But I also know that
I could be a really good doctor.
How badly do you want
to be a really good doctor?
Enough that I will put myself
and my family
through another 12 months of hell
if I have to repeat this year.
But I'm really hoping I don't have to.
All right, Ms. Wilson.
I'll give you a second chance.
Next week.
A practical exam
with me and my patients.
We will see just how good
those instincts really are.
Bobby, are you home?
Hey.
- Oh!
- What are you doing home? I thought
- your flight was tonight.
- Oh, Mama wanted
her space back and Daddy sent me away,
so I thought I'd catch an
earlier flight to surprise you.
- Mwah.
- Mwah.
Are you surprised?
Yes, I am.
I'm happy to have you back home.
Ooh, something smells good.
- What are you cooking? I'm starving.
- Well
- Yeah, that's-that's not for us.
- Oh, uh
Uh, no, no What is this?
Well, Athena,
I would like you to meet Hoover.
Hmm.
Like the vacuum cleaner?
Exactly.
Thank you guys for coming over.
I've been giving this a lot of thought.
Uh, thinking about, you know,
wh-where I am in my life
and what I want, and
and how this would fit in with that.
And?
Uh, and honestly, I
haven't figured any of that out.
I-I have no idea what I want.
But it is clear to me
that you know what you want.
And one thing I do know is-is
that I-I want to help you have that.
Are you are you saying
what I think you're saying?
I'm saying yes.
I'm saying
I will absolutely be your sperm donor.
Oh!
