Lost & Found

(indistinct radio chatter)
ATHENA: This is 727-L-30
at Valley Vista Landfill.
Suspects are in custody.
I have your statement
and your contact information.
I'll call you if I have
any other questions.
You're gonna book them, right?
This is government property.
That's trespassing.
Ought to go to jail, if you ask me.
Well, you did the right thing
calling it in, sir.
And I'll take it from here.
Have a good evening, sir.
FREDDY: Hey. There's
only two types of people
that come to a landfill at night
Crazies and criminals.
Well, I'd say they're the former.
(smacks lips)
(exhales)
What the hell were you two thinking?
♪
CHIMNEY: It's kind of an odd shape.
And you know what shape
you're interested in?
♪
CHIMNEY: So many options.
I don't know which one feels
most like Maddie.
Wait, that's bad, right?
I should know this.
You should relax.
They're all nice.
Maybe a little traditional.
- It doesn't have to be a diamond.
- SALESPERSON: Well
the saying isn't
"Opals are forever." (chuckles)
I can't do this.
Crazy to think that I could do this.
What am I doing?
HEN: Chim, what's going on?
You wanted to come here
and now you're freaking out?
Is this a mistake?
Don't you think you should have
asked yourself that question
before we got here, Chim?
I'm supposed to be buying
a ring for Maddie,
and I keep thinking about Tatiana.
You remember how terribly that went?
Why would I put myself
in this situation again?
- It's like I got PTSD.
- First of all,
Maddie is not Tatiana.
And you are not the same person
you were back then.
When you asked Tatiana to marry you,
it was for the wrong reasons.
You were looking for something,
you were trying to create
something special.
But with Maddie, you already have that.
What if this isn't something
that she doesn't even want?
You two still haven't talked about this
since the accountant thing?
I thought you said
you were gonna discuss it.
That's too awkward.
If I bring it up now, she's gonna think
it's 'cause that accountant
brought it up.
It's like that guy beat me to the punch.
Or maybe he gave you
a perfect opportunity
to have an open and honest
discussion about marriage.
I mean, this is gonna sound
like a crazy question, but
how come you haven't
asked her before now?
I think I always meant to ask,
but just never seemed
like the right time, you know?
When she was pregnant,
I didn't want her to think
that was the only reason.
And she struggled so much
after she had Jee,
that definitely it wasn't
the right time to bring it up then.
I don't know, I guess life
just got in the way.
And now?
You're in your own way?
Maybe.
But if I don't ask now,
I'm scared that I never will.
HEN: Chim, listen, if you're not sure,
you don't have to do this.
You don't have to decide
anything right now.
No, I love Maddie.
We have a family together.
That's what I want.
I'm doing it.
I'm gonna do it!
Excuse me.
You know what? I'm gonna take this one.
The trinity engagement ring.
Excellent choice.
I'll box it up for you.
Congratulations.
I guess we're having a wedding.
- All right!
- (Hen laughs)
(laughing)
(sighing)
BUCK: Ho-ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. (chuckles)
Wow. That is a serious rock. Or, rocks.
You sure you should be keeping it here?
- One of you planning on robbing me?
- (chuckles)
I kept it at home, I didn't want
to risk Maddie finding it.
It's beautiful, Chim. Congratulations.
Thanks, Cap.
Maddie is going to
lose it when she sees it.
HEN: And so is Jee-Yun
when she realizes
she's gonna have to get
a job slinging lattes
to make up for the dent
- you made in her college fund.
- Ha. Ha.
I didn't overspend too much. Not really.
If there was ever an occasion
to splurge, Chim,
it's buying an engagement ring.
Yeah, seriously, this is amazing news.
Congratulations. We're
officially gonna be family.
- Come here, brother-in-law.
- Yes.
Yes, very cool.
Hey, you know what? I could officiate.
Oh, that'd be great,
but we haven't really
- even thought about
- BOBBY: I'll check with Athena,
but if you wanted to do
something on the smaller side,
we could host in the backyard.
Rehearsal dinner or whatever.
RAVI: Yeah, are you gonna do
any traditional Korean wedding customs?
You know, when my cousin got married,
we basically had two very different,
very elaborate ceremonies.
Elaborate? I don't know about that.
- We haven't thought a lot
- BUCK: And don't you worry.
We won't make you pick
your best man just yet.
Mm, I mean, is there even
really a question?
Hen, it's my sister.
- Mm
- Okay, guys, guys.
I think you all are jumping
the gun a bit here.
And you are stressing me out.
I still have to pop the actual question.
So, what's the plan?
BUCK: Come on, it's Chim
We know it's gonna be some
grand romantic gesture.
Do you remember the guy who
proposed while skydiving?
HEN: You mean the guy who broke
both femurs and cracked three ribs?
I'm gonna keep this really simple.
So after dinner,
we put Jee to bed, boom!
I get down on one knee and I ask her.
That's kind of basic.
No offense.
What he means is proposals are
kind of a thing these days.
But hey, you do what you
want to do, okay? Just saying,
- it might be an opportunity.
- A-a huge opportunity.
You know, Maddie deserves something
that she's gonna remember forever.
You both do.
No, no. You-you cannot
propose without a plan.
Copy that. Got to have a plan.
♪
It's pretty, right?
You think Mommy's gonna like it?
BOBBY: I feel like I missed something.
When did it become "bring
your daughter to work" day?
(sighs) Mrs. Lee forgot
she had an appointment,
so she had to bring her here.
Maddie should be on her way
to pick her up.
Well, then, you better
put that thing away.
Yeah.
Hey, Cap, were you nervous when
you asked Athena to marry you?
Look, before I proposed to Athena,
she asked me to move in, but I,
you know, I wasn't sure.
Not because of her, but because
it made me think about the future,
which I wasn't
in the habit of doing then.
But, once I thought about it,
I couldn't imagine a future without her.
It's like that old saying
When you know, you know.
It's not that I don't know.
I just don't want to screw this up.
- You're not gonna screw this up.
- Screw what up?
- BOBBY: Hey, Maddie, how are you?
- MADDIE: Hi.
BOBBY: Wow, it's been a while.
MADDIE: Oh, hey, it
hasn't been that long.
- Hi.
- BOBBY: Hi.
Well, you got here quick. No traffic?
No, I got very lucky. Hi!
I'm gonna give you two a minute.
MADDIE (laughing): Hi.
I didn't mean for him
to leave his own office.
Hi! How's my girl doing?
- (Jee-Yun babbles)
- She's good. Uh
She didn't have her nap,
so she might be a demon
in about an hour or so,
but, uh, she did have lunch.
Oh, good. Are you hungry?
Not currently. Why?
MADDIE: 'Cause I just thought
maybe we could go and get lunch
since we didn't have a chance
to talk last night.
- (alarm ringing)
- (Maddie groans)
Oh I guess we can take a rain check.
Yeah, sorry about that.
It's okay, we'll just see you at home.
Yeah, see you at home.
Shouldn't you be getting out there?
Yeah, I'm just waiting for you.
Okay.
All right, well
- Bye, Daddy. (chuckling)
- Bye.
We'll see you later.
- Okay. Bye.
- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
See you.
(alarm continues ringing)
Oh, my God.
(siren wailing)
(horn honking)
Are you sure that that's a good idea?
You should have really left it
in a locker or something.
I didn't have time.
Maddie was right there.
I'm worried she's gonna start
suspecting something.
Relax, she's fine.
I ran interference for you.
Yeah, that wasn't awkward at all.
So what about a nice
romantic hot air balloon?
No. Never ends well.
I could charter a boat at the marina,
take her on a sunset cruise.
You guys do realize you're
just pitching potential calls?
What about a flash mob?
That's fun, she'll never see it coming.
That's too public.
Your sister would hate that.
I'm with her on that.
Why would you want to invite
a bunch of strangers
into your moment?
So what about you and Karen?
Who asked who?
Well, we both asked.
We went on a weekend getaway,
spur of the moment
I had a ring and everything.
It turns out, so did she.
We were both plotting to
propose that weekend.
So we did.
Couldn't ask for a clearer sign
that you two are meant to be together.
(sighs) I had a pretty clear sign, too.
Shannon got pregnant.
When she told me the news,
I said, "We should get married."
I barely even asked.
But you said I got to have a plan.
Proposals are a whole thing, right?
So is riling you up, Chim.
Chim, just remember what I told you.
No matter what you decide to do,
she's gonna love it
and she's gonna say yes.
Exactly.
It doesn't have to be
a big over-the-top production.
Don't overthink it.
And don't listen to Eddie.
I want to know ♪
Will you marry me? ♪
Yes, Mr. Osbourne,
I know we wanted to publish
the new article tonight,
but as you know,
our cloud server crashed
and I lost all my earlier drafts.
No, I don't know why it crashed.
I don't work in I.T.!
♪
Yes, of course.
I am so sorry for being short.
First thing tomorrow?
Yes, I can make that happen. Mm-hmm.
And thank you so much
for being understanding.
(line beeps)
Jerk.
(exhaling)
What?
Oh.
(groans softly)
Come on, Molly. You got this.
(cracking)
(gasping)
(groaning)
(screaming)
(shouts)
(moaning)
(birds chirping)
Thank God.
What the hell was that about?
Okay, not helpful.
Stress causes everything.
(coughing)
(groans)
(gagging, choking)
(dialing)
All right, let's get in there.
(Molly choking)
Looks like she's still breathing,
airways may not be
completely compromised.
Let's get her in position
for abdominal thrusts.
(grunting)
(coughs)
HEN: Nothing.
Whatever is in there must be small.
We got to take a look.
Here, here. Let's have you sit.
Okay.
- All right.
- (coughing)
Ooh. That is not good.
Oh. (exhales)
My teeth are (coughs) Are they gone?
Um, doesn't look like it,
but there's definitely
something going on in there.
All right.
Oh.
Let's see here.
(groans) Open wide for me.
(gagging)
There's some bleeding of
the soft palate.
Hand me a pair of forceps, Chim.
All right.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, that's definitely not a tooth.
Maybe a tonsil stone.
A what?
Small calcified masses
that are produced by,
you guessed it, the tonsils.
(raspy voice):
So, I'm not losing my teeth?
Nope. Just some little lumps of bacteria
that form due to accumulated
mucus, food and debris
that gets stuck back there.
Hence the trademark smell.
Ugh.
(gagging)
Easy does it, that might be another one.
- Ooh.
- HEN: Oh, ooh.
Oh, oh, oh.
- CHIMNEY: Ugh.
- HEN: All right,
let's-let's take another look in there.
Seems like your mouth
is cooking up a whole batch.
All right.
Please forgive me, but I need this.
All right, here we go.
Let's get these guys out.
BOBBY: Dispatch, please be advised
we have a patient who's gonna be
in need of emergency
ear, nose and throat services
at Midtown United Hospital.
Ma'am, let's get you on this gurney.
MOLLY: Hospital?
That's a hard no.
That's not a yes-or-no question.
It's a no.
I can't subject anyone else
to this halitosis from hell.
(coughs)
I'll go to the dentist in the morning.
Oh, your dentist's not
qualified to handle this.
Your tonsils are still
bleeding from the stones.
HEN: You could
accidentally inhale the blood
which causes aspiration pneumonia.
That's when you choke on your own blood
and cause infection,
which also creates
a lot of mucus, right, Cap?
Oh, excessive amounts of mucus.
HEN: Then there's respiratory
failure, followed by death.
Which is way more serious
than bad breath.
(clears throat)
(siren wailing)
Line is set.
Go ahead and switch on the pump, Chim.
(beeps)
What if she says no?
- Who?
- Maddie.
Everyone keeps telling me that
she's gonna say yes,
no matter how I do it,
but that's not a given.
Why would she say no?
Maybe because of her history.
Has she been married before?
Yeah, she was.
And it wasn't a good one.
With everything Maddie's been through,
she has every reason to say
she's not ready to get married again.
Or as Molly put it, a hard no.
HEN: If she says
no which she won't
Then you just don't get married.
Everything stays the same.
But what if that's not what I want?
What you want is important, too.
Okay, you should really
not be talking right now.
CHIMNEY: I was wrong.
I don't think this was a good idea.
I can't handle Maddie turning me down.
Chim
I'm not doing it.
Ring's going back tomorrow.
Wedding's off.
I can't believe this.
(scoffs)
(sighs)
(exhales softly)
Was I wrong?
- He's spiraling, right?
- BUCK: Spiraling?
Fighter jets spiral when
they lose control going Mach 1.
Chimney's headed straight
into a wall at Mach 10.
You, you got to help me talk him down.
HEN: I don't know.
Maybe it's better off
if we stay out of it.
Uh, since when? No, come on.
We just we have to make him realize
he's putting too much
pressure on himself.
- You know how he is.
- Which is why
I'm suggesting that we try
the hands-off approach.
Let him come to whatever
decision he's gonna come to
on his own.
Uh I mean, there's only
one right decision.
He proposes, she says yes,
it turns into the best decision
either of them have ever made.
If he gets there.
We'll just have to
- wait and see how it plays out.
- How it plays out?
Wait a minute
You don't want to get involved
'cause you don't want him
to marry Maddie.
Hen, how can you even think that?
After everything they've been through?
How far they've come.
Do you remember
where they were a year ago?
I do.
Maddie was gone,
and Chimney was raising Jee-Yun alone.
Maddie was going through a lot,
and you know that.
I know. She was sick.
And I know that was
that was terrifying
and overwhelming for her,
but the choice she made gutted Chimney.
- And he forgave her.
- Of course he did.
'Cause he loves her.
And she deserves to have
her happily ever after.
Why is this always about
what Maddie deserves?
And what's best for her?
What about what Chimney deserves?
They both deserve to be happy.
(sighs) You're right.
- You're absolutely right.
- No, don't do that.
You're still blaming Maddie.
I'm not blaming her.
All I'm saying is that
their relationship
has been one trauma after
the other from the beginning.
Maybe they both need to,
to heal from that
before jumping into marriage.
What do you think the last year
has been for them?
Then why is Chimney
freaking out the way he is?
What do you mean?
It's Chimney (stammers)
Look, I-I know that we love
to give him a hard time
because it's fun to watch
Chimney spiral, but in this case,
I think that anxiety is coming
from a very real place
Fear.
And he may not be able to
voice it, but I am.
He's my best friend.
And I don't want to see him get hurt.
Again.
Mom, you said we were
going to the bookstore.
I don't think this is the way.
(sighs) The bookstore's last, baby.
Whatever we buy there
always weighs a ton.
I'm strong.
Yes, my little man, you are very strong.
Oh, my gosh. Hold on.
Watch your step. (sighs)
So, um, I guess we're just gonna
forget that I need new shoes?
- I did not forget.
- You forget everything, Mom.
Okay, check the attitude, young lady.
- I'm hungry.
- Oh. Okay, great idea, Jayden.
Time for a snack. Let's go.
Everyone just, here, here.
Come park it here.
And, uh Mom's gonna grab us some
Oh!
Pretzels. Perfect.
Okay, carbs.
- Cinnamon raisin for me.
- I want a big one.
Okay, I'm not taking orders.
They're pretzels.
Sort of a metaphor for
my entire existence.
- (giggling)
- Okay
Hey, at least see if they
have gluten-free!
Okay.
(sighs)
Hi. (chuckles)
Um, can I please get
four pretzels and four lemonades.
Oh, and can you make
one of them gluten-free?
The pretzel, not the lemonade.
Thank you.
Okay. All right.
(beeps)
Okay.
(giggling)
Oh, thank you.
Okay. Some mustard
My kids are messy. (chuckles)
All right.
Okay, pretzels and lemonade
Yum, yum.
That's a balance trick.

I'm sure he's around
here. Let's find him.

Jayden Baker. Oh, God.
He's gone. He's just gone, he's

- It couldn't have been more than
three minutes or five?

Can you describe him?
He's four and a half.
He has blonde hair.
Blue jeans and a green jacket.
He's just a little baby. Jayden!
Help is on the way.
What is your name, ma'am?
My name is Candice.
Candice, can you retrace your
steps to where you last saw him?
I wasn't here. I, uh
I left him with my daughters

ATHENA: Make way.
Candice, I'm Sergeant Grant.
Does your son have a favorite store?
- Any place that he'd want to go?
- I'm not sure.
We've been here for hours.
He could be anywhere.

additional units are in position.
ATHENA: Copy, dispatch.
Send them toward us.
My officers are moving

Then what could have
happened to my baby?!

Have you? Please help me.
Please help me.
No, no, no. No, no. Don't go there.
- Please help me.
- Don't go there.
Just breathe. Just breathe.
- (sobbing)
- It's okay.
I don't suppose this mall has
a public address system?
Only music, and there's
no access for voice.
Maddie, I have a gentleman
on the line who's at the mall.
Says he saw a boy wandering
alone in the food court.
I'm showing seven calls
total from the mall.
DISPATCHER: Similar call over here!
MADDIE: We don't need
a public address system.
727-L-30,
be advised, there is
no public address system,
but we're gonna crowdsource one.
We need everyone down there

This wire's sliced through

None of us did.

Maybe your nerves are trying
to tell you something.
Like what?
Like maybe you shouldn't be
getting married.
Buck, guys, let's give
these two a minute.
I don't know what's worse.
The fact that
you actually feel this way,
or that you felt it
and you didn't tell me.
I didn't say anything because
I didn't want to hurt you.
I'd say that was a fail.
Chim, listen, I'm-I'm not
telling you not to propose.
That's not what it sounds like.
I'll support whatever decision you make.
But it's the indecision that worries me.
How can you expect me to be
fully on board
when you're not even sure?
You're supposed to be on my side.
I am.
When Maddie left,
I watched how you struggled
with so much guilt.
You blamed yourself
when she was the one that left.
She didn't trust you enough
to fully share what,
what she was going through.
Can you trust that
she won't do that again?
(exhales softly)
I can't predict the future.
But we've spent a lot of time
trying to rebuild what was broken.
On both sides.
And we're in a better place.
Maddie is in a better place.
I'm glad.
Truly. I'm I am.
Good.
'Cause you of all people
should really understand.
When you cheated on Karen with Eva,
how long did it take
for you to regain her trust?

A long time I suppose.
But she forgave you.
She did.

You remember how terribly that went?
Why would I put myself

Maddie is not Tatiana.
And you are not the same person
you were back then.
When you asked Tatiana to marry you,
it was for the wrong reasons.
You were looking for something,
you were trying to create
something special.
But with Maddie, you already have that.
What if this isn't something
that she doesn't even want?
You two still haven't talked about this
since the accountant thing?
I thought you said
you were gonna discuss it.
That's too awkward.

it's 'cause that accountant
brought it up.

Or maybe he gave you
a perfect opportunity
to have an open and honest
discussion about marriage.
I mean, this is gonna sound
like a crazy question, but
how come you haven't
asked her before now?
I think I always meant to ask,
but just never seemed
like the right time, you know?
When she was pregnant,
I didn't want her to think

We just we have to make him realize
he's putting too much
pressure on himself.
- You know how he is.
- Which is why
I'm suggesting that we try
the hands-off approach.
Let him come to whatever
decision he's gonna come to
on his own.
Uh I mean, there's only
one right decision.
He proposes, she says yes,
it turns into the best decision
either of them have ever made.
If he gets there.
We'll just have to
- wait and see how it plays out.
- How it plays out?
Wait a minute
You don't want to get involved
'cause you don't want him
to marry Maddie.
Hen, how can you even think that?
After everything they've been through?
How far they've come.
Do you remember
where they were a year ago?
I do.
Maddie was gone,
and Chimney was raising Jee-Yun alone.
Maddie was going through a lot,
and you know that.
I know. She was sick.
And I know that was
that was terrifying
and overwhelming for her,
but the choice she made gutted Chimney.
- And he forgave her.
- Of course he did.
'Cause he loves her.
And she deserves to have
her happily ever after.
Why is this always about
what Maddie deserves?
And what's best for her?
What about what Chimney deserves?
They both deserve to be happy.
(sighs) You're right.
- You're absolutely right.
- No, don't do that.
You're still blaming Maddie.
I'm not blaming her.
All I'm saying is that
their relationship
has been one trauma after
the other from the beginning.
Maybe they both need to,
to heal from that
before jumping into marriage.
What do you think the last year
has been for them?
Then why is Chimney
freaking out the way he is?
What do you mean?
It's Chimney (stammers)
Look, I-I know that we love
to give him a hard time
because it's fun to watch
Chimney spiral, but in this case,
I think that anxiety is coming
from a very real place
Fear.
And he may not be able to
voice it, but I am.
He's my best friend.
And I don't want to see him get hurt.
Again.
Mom, you said we were
going to the bookstore.
I don't think this is the way.
(sighs) The bookstore's last, baby.
Whatever we buy there
always weighs a ton.
I'm strong.
Yes, my little man, you are very strong.
Oh, my gosh. Hold on.

forget that I need new shoes?
