♪
[ANGELIQUE] When I found out
who the bachelor was gonna be,
I literally had full-body chills.
I want this. America wants this.
And he deserves it.
Joey, it's you.
It's me. How you doing?
Hi.
Ah. What's your name?
I'm Angelique. I'm a podcast producer,
and it's my job to find the truth.
And you will be my truth.
I'm ready, and that's no lie.
[ASHLEY A] I'm a flight attendant,
so Joey's gonna have to
earn his wings with me.
- What's your name?
- I'm Ashley A.
Do you believe in love at first flight?
Oh, you're gonna have to
take me airborne first.
- [CHUCKLES]
- I love it.
♪
- Hey.
- How's it going?
What's your name?
- I'm Ashley C.
- Cool, another Ashley.
[GIGGLES]
How you feeling, Joey?
What's going through
your mind right now?
- Oh, man.
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
Wow, coming in hot.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[GASPING]
Hi, Joey.
- Hi.
- My name is
Conchata.
And I'm-I'm stuck on you,
and I hope that you'll
be stuck on me, too.
Conchata. That's, um, a beautiful name.
- Where's it from?
- It's Mexican. I I think.
Guys, are we sure that this is Conchata?
- Does anyone know who that woman is?
- Looking.
She doesn't have a
headshot. She doesn't exist.
Well, then, somebody
get her off the set.
Everyone stand back!
Oh, my God, she has anthrax.
- Or glitter!
- My name is Bailey,
and I'm an aesthetician
from Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
And I have dreamed of this
moment since I was 21 years old.
- [GASPING]
- I never had the courage to apply.
This is me applying.
Oh
Oh, whoa.
- Did she just glue herself to the driveway?
- Okay.
Okay. Okay, okay. Okay.
[ALL STRAINING]
- She's not coming off.
- No!
- Her skin kind of is.
- [BAILEY] Oh
Okay, somebody call 91
911. What's your emergency?
[JESSE] A woman just glued herself
to the driveway of The Bachelor mansion.
Did you just say Bachelor mansion?
[JESSE] Yes. Can you
please send somebody quick?
- Jesse?
- Yeah, Palm
Palmer. I know.
Uh, yeah, the address here is
Oh, I know the address.
[WHISPERS] It's Jesse Palmer.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Please describe the
current state of the victim.
Is she breathing?
Oh, she's fine. She
actually won't shut up.
Ugh, get off of me! I'm here
for the right reason.
- Uh, what are you doing?
- Pulling rank.
Jesse, hi, my name's Josh,
and I'm the supervising dispatcher here.
Can you describe the state
of this season's bachelor for me?
Uh, he's fine.
- Can I get a name?
- [SIRENS IN BACKGROUND]
Oh, I hear the sirens.
- I got to go.
- [DIAL TONE SOUNDS]
Huh. That was shameless
and unprofessional.
- Who did you send?
- The closest fire company.
More or less.
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
Hi, LAFD. What's her name?
Bailey. She's a superfan.
She took Conchata's spot.
[BOBBY] Took her spot? How?
Uh, stole the limo when
the driver was 10-1.
That means he was in the bathroom.
Hey, Bailey, are you ready
to meet the firefighters
who are here to rescue you?
I don't need rescuing.
Joey?
I'm seeing a lot of irritation.
Joey? Baby.
[WHISPERS] It's Joey.
Right. Uh, let's run 25 mil of
Diphenhydramine right over it.
What kind of glue did you use, Bailey?
- I'm not telling you.
- [SNIFFS] Mm.
Smells like industrial-grade stuff.
Yeah, I don't know if we
have anything on the truck
that'll break this down.
Let me break it down for you.
If we don't get lucky in the mansion,
we might have a better
chance at the fire station.
I love dalmatians.
I feel so lightheaded.
I'm having palpitations.
Sorry, ladies. Taken at
the moment, but he's not.
Oh, yeah, I actually, uh, I have a rule.
I-I don't
date people I-I meet on calls.
[HEN] There's significant dermatitis.
Given the large surface
area of-of glue to skin,
she could be soaking up a lot of toxins.
Diphenhydramine keep
her from anaphylaxis?
- [HEN] It should.
- [EDDIE] If she's got dermatitis,
she won't react well to acetone
or anything we have on the truck.
[BUCK] So, how do we get
her off this driveway?
[BOBBY] We don't. We travel
her with the driveway.
Jackhammers coming up.
Oh. Whoa, whoa. Jackhammers?
Okay, we don't we
don't own this house.
Okay? We rent. You start jackhammering,
we're gonna have to shoot the
rest of the season in Glendale.
Oh, I hear Glendale's very nice.
What?
[BAILEY] I have to admit that
- it's starting to burn.
- [CHIMNEY] I know.
The meds are gonna make you feel
a whole lot better. Everything's gonna
- be okay, Bailey.
- [CRYING] No. No, it's not.
My dreams are dead.
Like, who was I kidding?
The only man that ever got down
on one knee for me was a shoe salesman.
Now crews are bringing jackhammers.
[CHIMNEY] Bailey, it's
best if you not sob.
You're gonna tear.
[BAILEY CRYING]
- [WOMAN] Uh-uh.
- Is she gonna be okay?
[BAILEY CRYING]
Hey, Joey.
Hey.
Uh [CLEARS THROAT]
Yeah, she's, uh, stable, she's upset.
I think she's kind of
embarrassed right now.
Maybe you could sit with
her for a few seconds?
That might, uh, calm her?
Yeah, of course. Of course.
Hey.
Oh.
- Okay.
- You know what?
You said your name is Bailey?
- [GASPS]
- You know, I actually
have a cousin that lives in Sheboygan.
You know Sheboygan?
Yeah. I do.
My God.
[PHONE RINGING]
[BAILEY MURMURING]
- [PHONE CHIMES]
- Hey.
[GASPS] You're at the mansion.
Is it stunning?
I can't be doing this right now.
- No
- Flip your camera. Who's the bachelor?
[QUIETLY] It's someone you know.
Okay, so who is it?
Flip the camera. Flip it.
Okay. Okay.
[JACKHAMMER RATTLING]
- [GASPS]
- It's Joey!
Shoot.
[QUIETLY] Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I got to go. I found Conchata.
[CALL SHUTS OFF]
- Who's Conchata?
- Who's Conchata?
[DRILLING CONTINUES]
[FEMALE PRODUCER]
What did she do to her?
- Chloroform.
- Well, h-how is she?
She's gonna be just fine.
We've already called
her another ambulance.
Another ambulance?
Yeah, she's not gonna fit in ours.
I'm gonna have 'em save the paver, Joey.
It's where we met!
Come visit me in prison?
- Do I have to?
- I would not.
Bye!
Slide into my DMs!
[TOMMY] And of course, the heartbeat
of the Harbor Station
Air Operations One.
Home to five medium and
two light duty helicopters.
Our team consists of pilots, aeromedics,
helitac and ground support crew.
24 hours a day, we're available
to run brush fire suppression,
air ambulance transport,
high-rise fire response.
This is so cool.
"LAFD's link from the
streets to the skies."
Or at least, that's what
it says on our coffee mugs.
Oh, ours just say "I Need Mo Jo."
Is that why you wanted the tour?
- Looking for a badass coffee mug?
- No.
I'm happy where I'm at.
I guess I just wanted
to see the place during the day.
You know, when we weren't
stealing one. [CHUCKLES]
Come on. You didn't call me
'cause you just wanted to see the toys.
You're thinking of changing
things up, aren't you?
Eh, I don't know.
Okay, so aside from worrying
that Cap and Athena were
at the bottom of the ocean,
yeah, fine, I guess that
night was the most fun I'd had
since being struck by lightning.
- You need to raise your bar, kid.
- Uh, not that being
struck by lightning was fun, just, uh
using it as a point of reference.
Ah.
So, uh, what-what got you into flying?
You know, aside from
the fact that I assume
it feels like having a superpower.
I was actually a pilot in the Army.
No way. Eddie was in the Army.
Yeah, he mentioned that.
You know, I-I actually met an ex
responding to a helicopter crash.
Which should have been the first clue.
Yeah, saving someone's
life and then dating them
never turns out the
way you expect it to.
I, uh, figured that
out third time around.
- And yet, they're so grateful.
- [CHUCKLES]
I don't know, man, I-I
I guess it would be kind of different.
There's no rule that says
you can't get certified
and still stay at the 118.
- I fly for fun on my days off.
- Yeah?
I can give you lessons if you want.
- Really?
- Sure.
My fees are competitive.
Uh, you should let me buy you a beer.
I'd love that.
But I-I got to take a rain check.
I have something that should
be arriving right now, actually.
Hey, where should I park?
Just leave it there. It's fine.
Copy that!
- What?
- [CHUCKLES]
Ah, this guy. One second.
Took long enough.
- [LAUGHS]
- My man.
- Hey, Buck.
- Hey, Eddie.
This is great. You got
three tickets to the fight?
No. I wish.
[TOMMY] Uh, I was giving Evan a tour.
Wait. You're not thinking
about jumping ship?
Uh, no, I'm just, you know,
uh, keeping my options fluid.
Uh, so-so there's a fight?
- [TOMMY] Yeah.
- [EDDIE] Yeah.
- Big unification bout. Been sold out for weeks.
- Yeah.
Oh, wow. I was I was unaware.
[EDDIE] Oh, we actually,
uh, got to go, so, uh,
catch you later, Buck.
Let me know if you want to go up.
[BUCK] Yeah.
I'll do that sometime.
Uh, you guys are Wait. You're flying a
a chopper to the Coliseum?
Fight's not in L.A. It's in Vegas.
- Take care, Evan.
- [ROTORS WHIRRING]
[SNIFFING]
[SIGHS]
- Bobby?
- Hmm?
- Oh. Bobby!
- Huh?
Were you just in the kitchen?
I was just sleeping.
What? Did you hear something?
More like smell something.
[BOTH SNIFFING]
- Waffles?
- Waffles.
[GASPS]
Harry!
Mom. Hey. [LAUGHS]
Ah.
I didn't know you were coming.
I wanted to surprise you and
make sure my key still works.
Of course it still works.
Oh, my baby!
Let me look at you.
You might need to get on
a stepstool to do that.
- Welcome home, Harry.
- Hey, Bobby.
- Oh, you're taller than I am.
- [LAUGHTER]
I'm even taller than Dad now. Only by,
like, two inches, but still.
I can't believe your
father didn't say anything.
We would have picked
you up from the airport.
Dad had to fly back to Haiti
again. He's been really busy
with some new project.
Too busy to make a phone call?
I don't know. He's got a lot going on.
Anyways, I really missed you guys,
so I asked if I could come surprise you,
and he said it was okay.
Oh, I am just so happy to see you.
Who knew my day would get
off to such an amazing start?
- And you made breakfast.
- Waffles.
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- Your favorite.
Oh, it is so good to have you back.
[HARRY CHUCKLES]
We getting those clean glasses today,
or should I tell the
customers to cup their hands?
Well, they wouldn't have to wait
if we switched to disposables,
like I suggested, so, hey.
[MANAGER] Keep going on like that,
you're gonna talk yourself out of a job.
[SIGHS]
[MAN MUFFLED] Help!
Help!
Hello?
[MAN] Somebody?
Somebody help me, please!
Help!
Somebody help me!
Please! I'm down here.
Uh, hey, you never said. How was Vegas?
- Quick trip.
- I'll bet.
How long does it take to chopper there?
- One hour.
- You took a chopper to Vegas?
Uh, and how was the fight?
Fight was okay. Seats were
amazing. Tommy's buddies
with the promoter, so we were ringside.
Felt like I was the one
throwing the punches.
Who's Tommy?
[EDDIE] I'm not seeing or
hearing anything in the walls.
Sure the voice didn't
come from the restaurant?
Lot of metal here. Reflects the sound.
No. No, no, no, it wasn't like
a customer was demanding
more marinara sauce, okay?
It was it was more
plaintive, though not wistful.
And it wasn't coming from the walls.
It was coming from inside the sink.
Not sure that's possible.
Drainpipe's only three inches.
I saved a baby in a pipe once.
Although it was a preemie.
- It-it didn't speak.
- [MAN MUFFLED] Help!
Shh.
You hear that?
[MAN] Somebody!
Please!
Somebody help me, please!
See?
[MAN] Little help!
- [MANAGER] You guys aren't gonna believe this.
- Help!
I just pulled this off
the security camera.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[RAVI] Did he just slide into the sewer?
[BUCK] Seriously?
I already called the cops.
[MAN] Wow. Thank God.
I was starting to think
you'd never find me.
Are you hurt?
- Just twisted my leg.
- [EDDIE] Okay.
Don't move. We're coming to get you.
[MAN] Hurry, please!
I don't even want to think
about what I'm sitting in.
Guess someone's going into the sewer.
I'm going into the sewer, aren't I?
[EDDIE] All right, get him secured.
Let us know when you're ready to travel.
[RAVI] Okay.
I'm not surprised you
had a great time in Vegas.
You and Tommy have a
lot of things in common.
Both in the Army, both like
watching half-naked
men pummel each other.
Tommy's pretty cool.
Been a while since I met someone
who can go toe-to-toe
with me in Muay Thai.
Uh, you guys went to Muay Thai together?
Yeah, he's got a set-up in his garage.
We sparred a bit when I
took the Chevelle over.
You-you took the Chevelle?
Yeah. He's got a car lift.
And the guy really knows his engine.
You should hear that thing purr now.
How are we looking down there, Ravi?
[RAVI] Vitals are good.
No sign of spinal or TBI.
Splinting leg now.
Well, listen, I think it's great.
You know, you can't have
enough friends, right?
Right. You know, it's like that thing
when you meet somebody,
and you just click.
You know what I mean?
I do. I really do.
- [KNOCKING]
- [RAVI] Ready to come up!
Copy that.
[SIGHS]
Uh, so, when do you think
you'll see him again?
He's got this karaoke bar
trivia thing on Wednesday.
Hey, what are you doing Wednesday?
Me? Uh, yeah, no, I'm-I'm free.
Uh, totally free.
- Wednesday is a clean slate.
- Great.
You think you could
watch Christopher for me?
I'd ask Marisol, but
she's already done it twice
this week for me, so
Uh, yeah, I
- could do that.
- Thanks.
I owe you one.
[MAN] Hello? I'm still down here.
According to Christopher, he's
already been over three times.
Eddie just met the guy,
like, two weeks ago.
Christopher thinks he's "so cool."
Yeah, didn't you say that
you thought Tommy was cool?
Well, I mean, he-he is cool.
You know, he flew us right
into a hurricane and landed on the belly
of a capsized cruise ship.
You-you have to admit that's cool.
I don't dispute that, but
you guys are pretty cool.
I mean, you went inside
a capsized cruise ship.
Try telling that to Christopher.
You know, he likes Tommy
'cause he "works the controls."
I keep saying, "Chris,
it's not a video game."
'Cause it's harder than a video game?
My point is, he's made an
impression in a very short time.
I can see that.
You know what else he said? Get this.
He said he agreed
Revenge of the Sith is
superior to Return of the Jedi.
I mean, maybe it's just me.
I don't think you lie to a child
just to ingratiate yourself.
Seems like you got a lot of intel
for one night of babysitting.
Well, Chris wouldn't
stop talking about him.
Christopher wouldn't,
or you were pressing
him for information?
I didn't have to. Eddie,
on his fridge, has a day calendar.
Under a take-out menu.
Thursday: "B.B.P.U.,
Double-U, back slash,
Tommy." And it's circled.
Thursday basketball
pickup game with Tommy.
It's this every-other-Thursday
basketball game
some first responders
on the Westside set up.
Eddie keeps asking me to go.
- Well, you don't like basketball.
- Which is why
I say "no," but now
he's going with Tommy,
and he's got it circled.
Is it circled with a heart around it?
- Who's going with Tommy?
- [MADDIE] Eddie.
Oh, yeah. Tommy took Eddie
to a fight in Vegas ringside
and he flew 'em in a chopper! [LAUGHS]
That Tommy's so cool.
[SIGHS]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- Where's Harry?
- Oh. He went out with his friends.
I think they went to the movies.
- We have a problem.
- What's wrong?
I just got off the phone with
Michael, who is not in Haiti,
and he had no idea that
Harry was coming here.
He thought that Harry was staying
- at a friend's last night.
- What?
Why would Harry lie?
Because the police are looking for him.
They showed up at the house
when I was talking with Michael.
Wait a minute. What
are you talking about?
Are you telling me
Apparently, he got into a fight
and assaulted someone.
Athena, there is a
warrant out for his arrest.
He fled the jurisdiction.
[PLATE CLANKS ON COUNTER]
- An intruder.
- What's the address?
839 Stafford Street.
I'm sending officers
now. What's your name?
Dorothy. Please hurry.
Dorothy, where is the man now?
Is he still inside the house?
He was in my kitchen.
I got up from my nap,
and I heard someone
running around in there.
And I went to look. I have
never seen him before.
I don't think he sees me.
I know there have been daytime
break-ins in this neighborhood.
What do I do?
Is there anyone who lives
with you in the house?
Pets? Children?
No, I'm all alone.
Is it possible for you
to get out of the house?
A back door or a window, maybe?
Oh, God, I hear footsteps!
I think he's coming back here.
Maybe he heard me.
Dorothy, I need you to
stay calm and don't panic.
Can you find a place to hide
until the police get there?
I have a gun, and I know how to use it.
No, if you arm yourself,
it can become a much
more dangerous situation.
Oh, God! He's coming in!
[DOROTHY SCREAMING]
Dorothy, what's happening? Dorothy?
[GUNSHOT]
[ATHENA] He was dead when we got here.
No pulse, and that has got to
be at least a liter of blood.
No cardiac activity.
I think we can call this one.
Yeah, I'm more concerned
about the homeowner. I mean,
she was pretty shaky when
we arrived on the scene.
[CHIMNEY] Heart rate's
slightly elevated,
- but your BP is good 110/70.
- I-I take medication for that.
Well, it's working.
- How's your head feeling, Dorothy?
- Oh.
Bit of a headache,
but I woke up with it,
- so
- Can you squeeze my hand?
Uh
You know, I really am fine.
He didn't get close enough
to put a hand on me, so
Guess he picked the wrong house, huh?
- Sure did.
- [HEN] How did she end up with the gun?
[ATHENA] Oh, it's hers.
Her son bought it for
her for her protection.
- Hmm.
- This area's seen a rise
in break-ins in the
last couple of years.
Hey.
I think we should transport
her. Her left pupil is reacting
slowly, and she's
complaining of a headache.
Some kind of head injury? When?
Oh, probably last week.
She fell in the garden.
[HEN] Did she seek medical treatment?
[CHIMNEY] No. She said
it wasn't that serious.
Benny, hold on.
First Presbyterian is closest.
Let's alert neuro.
Athena, we're gonna take her with us.
Not so fast.
Look at this.
And then look at him.
[CHIMNEY] Boy, that
looks like the same guy.
She knew him?
I thought she told
her he was a stranger.
She did. I mean, I
suppose she could be lying.
Trying to turn a homicide
into a home invasion?
You said she shot him as
he entered the hallway?
Maybe she never got a
good look at his face.
Or maybe she did see him, but
still didn't recognize him.
Face blindness?
- Is that a real thing?
- [HEN] It can be.
They can't recognize the
face of the people they know.
Sometimes they can't recognize
their own face in the mirror.
Yeah, it can be caused by a stroke
or some kind of traumatic brain injury.
Or a fall in the garden.
Hold on.
Mrs. Nelson, um
did you get a good look at the
intruder before you opened fire?
Of course, I saw him in the kitchen.
And when he came after me, um, he was
standing right in front of me,
as close as you are right now.
And you didn't recognize him?
You'd never seen him before?
I've never seen him before in my life.
Um, Mrs. Nelson,
can you tell me who the man is
- in this photo?
- [CHUCKLES]
It's, it's Jeremy.
It's my son. He's a doctor.
We're very proud.
Okay, Dorothy, we're gonna take you
to the ER and get that
head checked out, all right?
She's probably gonna need surgery
to relieve the pressure on her brain.
When do we tell her about her son?
Not yet.
Let the doctors do
their job. Save her life.
Then I'll do mine.
Tell her the truth and ruin it.
Can you imagine?
Looking your own child in the face,
and not recognizing him?
Yes.
I can imagine it.
Ain't really carin'
how you feel about it ♪
Keepin' the party
going all night long ♪
So baby tell me are
you really 'bout it ♪
Harry?
No other way around it, yeah ♪
That's just what we on ♪
Ya know I can't stay long ♪
I gotta get it till it's all gone ♪
Okay, anyway, nah, you
ain't in the way ♪
[MUSIC STOPS]
Harry.
- What the hell, Ma?!
- Watch how you speak to me.
You just poured cold water on me.
That's how they wake you
up in jail for sleeping in.
Except the water won't be clean,
and it probably won't be water.
I thought you might want
to get used to the idea,
since it seems that's
where you're going.
- How'd you find out?
- The police showed up
on your father's doorstep.
They say you beat up a
convenience store manager?
- That's now what happened.
- Then, please,
tell me, what did happen?
That guy started with me.
He accused me of stealing.
Did you?
What the hell? You
know I didn't do that.
Listen, that guy,
he had it out for me
the minute I walked in.
He was staring me down, following me
- all throughout the store.
- Why didn't you just walk out?
I was trying to,
but he wouldn't let me.
He blocked the door, screaming
at me, calling me a thief.
So you punched him in the face
- and broke his jaw?
- It was self-defense.
He put his hands on me first.
And why are you automatically
- taking his side?
- I am not taking his side.
And you cannot go around
punching people in the face.
That's against the law and
I'm on the side of the law.
- Oh, shocker.
- Oh. Excuse me?
Even when Dad got pulled over
and that cop pointed his gun at me?
You took their side.
I did not take their side.
I understood their side.
And when you're a cop
You are also my mom!
Which one is more important?
Never mind.
I already know the answer.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[BUCK] Yep. [CLEARS THROAT]
[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS]
Yep. [GRUNTS]
Okay.
Hup.
Hey, Buck, need a spot?
No, I'm good, thanks.
[WEIGHTS CLATTER]
[CHIMNEY] Hey, Buck?
You order something from Amazon Prime?
Uh, yeah, yeah, I did.
Evan Buckley?
- Yeah, that's me.
- Here you go.
That's fast. Uh, do I
need to sign anything?
No, you're good.
- Okay, cool, thank you.
- Have a great day.
[EDDIE] No, that's hilarious!
What'd you say?
I wouldn't, either.
Not my point.
- [BUCK] Uh, hey, Eddie, I was, uh
- Hold on.
I was thinking we should,
we should get a hoop, huh?
Uh-huh. No, no.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not trying to say
that you were wrong, but I
just don't think you were right.
We'll get him next time, all right?
[SIGHS]
Hey, what you got there?
Hey, what are you doing on Thursday?
[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENTS]
- Mrs. Nelson?
- Oh.
Are you a doct
[CLEARS THROAT] Are you a doctor?
I'm Sergeant Grant.
I met you at your house.
Oh, yes.
I didn't recognize you
without your uniform.
It's quite all right.
I hear you had surgery.
I-I can't believe
that such a little fall
could lead to so much
trouble. They said I was,
I was bleeding in my brain.
And I can't even imagine.
Would you, would you thank
that nice paramedic for me?
If he hadn't caught it
Have you had any visitors?
N-No. Well, I-I've been trying
to reach my son, but he's
not answering his phone.
You know, if he stops by the house,
and sees the mess and me not there,
he's gonna be beside himself.
I mean, he's such a good son.
He's always checking on me
and being sure I'm okay and I just
But I don't know where he is right now.
I'm afraid there was an accident.
And Jeremy
was killed.
He's dead.
What
What kind, what kind of accident?
He was shot when he was mistaken
for an intruder.
[GASPS]
No.
That's not You are
not Are you, are saying
Are you saying that
Oh!
[CRYING] Oh, God! Oh!
I'm so sorry.
No! No!
- I'm so sorry.
- No!
I didn't know. I
- I know you didn't.
- No, no, please, no.
I know you didn't.
No, please.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
So I have to ask, what's with
the sudden conversion
to the sport of kings?
What do you mean?
Well, anytime Albert and I would ask you
to shoot hoops, you'd take a pass.
Well, I-I know you love it, and I figure
we're gonna be brothers-in-law.
It'd be a good way for us to bond
- away from the firehouse and
- My refrigerator?
- Exactly.
- [TOMMY] There we go.
[EDDIE] Hey, that's my boy!
[SHOUTING, LAUGHING]
Howie!
- Hey, Evan!
- [EDDIE] Hey, guys.
What? You guys, wow.
What are the odds?
How'd you talk him into
this? He always says no to me.
I have my ways.
You boys turned up unannounced
to your own funerals.
I like it.
These two victims rotating in.
We'll make quick work of them.
Oh, yeah.
So I'm your basketball beard.
I feel so bonded.

All right, make way, make way.
Let an actual paramedic through.
[EDDIE GRUNTING]
[CHIMNEY] Easy, easy.
All right, give me the compression wrap.
[GROANS] Did you hear that pop?
They heard that pop in San
Bernadino. Now, hold still.
Inversion at the talocrural joint.
Could be looking at a tib/fib fracture.
Worst case, it's a lateral sprain.
You're gonna need an X-ray.
Uh, hey, I can bring
my Jeep right up here.
My car's close. There's an urgent care
on the way to his house. I drove him,
- I can take him.
- [EDDIE GROANS]
[CHIMNEY] Almost. Hold tight, Eddie.
All right. Let's get him up.
All right, bud. Let's go.
Nice and easy. Slowly, Tommy.
[TOMMY] I got ya. I got
him, I got him, I got him.
- [CHIMNEY] Got him?
- [TOMMY] I got him. I got him,
- Come on, bud.
- [GRUNTING]
We good. We good.
Well, you bucked that up, didn't you?
If you're hungry, I
can make you something.
It's okay.
I'm not really that hungry.
You mind if we talk for a minute?
Listen, I-I want to say I'm sorry
for the way I spoke to you.
I wasn't trying to be disrespectful,
but I'm still not sorry
for hitting that guy.
You're sorry for getting caught.
- Well, yeah.
- Harry,
whenever you go out into the world,
you are not just representing yourself,
- but this family and your community.
- My community?
- What kind of pressure is that?
- I know it seems unjust,
but in reality, that's
just the way it is.
You cannot react in
situations like that.
- You have to be smarter.
- I'm not allowed to
be angry? Or fight back?
Of course you can get
angry. You're human.
That man could've had a
gun behind that counter.
So what was I supposed to do?
If what I did was so wrong,
what would've been the right thing?
Sometimes, it is not
about right or wrong.
It is about making it home alive.
And you are old enough
to understand that now.
What's this?
Surveillance footage from
the convenience store.
♪
It's different seeing it on video.
Honestly, it doesn't
even feel real. It
It feels like I'm watching someone else.
We all have things
that we're not proud of.
But the thing that makes
you a person of character
is being able to face the
consequences of your actions.
Whatever that might be.
I don't know what to do, Mom.
What do I do?
We'll figure it out.
Together.
And whatever that is, just know
that I'm gonna be
right there by your side
because you are my son
and I love you.
No matter what.
So, do we know how
long he's gonna be out?
It's just a bad sprain.
Probably a-a few days.
Oh, that's good. So, how's he feeling?
I don't know. I haven't
really talked to him.
Like, at all?
Well, I'm guessing he
doesn't want to hear from me.
- I'm sure that's not true.
- I'm sure it is.
I'm the one who did this to him.
It was an accident on a
basketball court. It happens.
He knows that you
didn't do it on purpose.
You didn't mean to hurt him, did you?
I don't know.
I was pissed, you know?
Seeing him and Tommy
being such good friends
after only two weeks.
I felt left out,
and I guess I was trying
to get his attention.
Well, that's not how you
get someone's attention.
You clear your throat.
You tap them on the
shoulder. You don't hurt them.
I know, Maddie. Trust me, I feel awful.
Good. Don't do it again.
[SIGHS] But I know how you feel.
Do you remember when I was 14
and my best friend was Sarah B.?
Uh, yeah, the-the blonde.
You guys were inseparable.
Well, we were inseparable until
Sarah S. moved on the block,
and then they were inseparable.
Two blondes in a Sarah pod.
So, I did the only rational thing
any 14-year-old girl could do.
Dyed my hair
and tried to convince our parents
to legally change my name.
Then you would also have been Sarah B.
I was gonna change both names.
The point is, it was a mistake.
All of it.
All it did was make me look desperate
and pushed them farther away.
And I didn't tell them
how excluded I felt.
I just acted like I didn't,
and it all blew up in my face.
Well, I'm not a 14-year-old girl.
- So, stop acting like one.
- Stop acting like one.
Yeah, yeah, I got you.
Come on.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Thanks for meeting us, Elaine.
Not a problem. It's
good to see you, Harry.
Yeah. It's not the best
circumstances, though.
Doesn't take away from the fact
that I'm happy to see you.
Even if I barely recognize you.
And he's still growing.
That's the crazy part.
So, I spoke to Miami-Dade.
They're not interested in
extraditing for a misdemeanor assault.
- I assumed as much.
- But we have made some arrangements.
What kind of arrangements?
Well, both jurisdictions have agreed
that it's best that you stay here,
in your mother's custody,
and 100 hours of community service,
which she has to sign off on.
S-so, I-I'm not going to jail?
No.
But you might wish you were
after being grounded for a
month under my supervision.
I've seen your mother in
action. She's not wrong.
She's a pretty good cop.
And a really great mom.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Uh, hey, hey-hey, Tommy.
Can we talk?
Uh, yeah, yeah. C-Come on in.
Wow.
Maybe I'm working at the wrong station.
Can I get you something?
I still owe you a beer, right?
No, I'm good. I won't stay long.
I just wanted to clear the air,
and I didn't want to
do it over the phone
or in a text or something.
Clear the air about what?
Obviously, I've been the
cause of some bad blood
between you and Eddie,
and I just want you to know
that was never my intention.
There's no bad blood.
- Evan.
- Really. No bad blood. Just
bad behavior. And-and
it's all on my part.
You guys didn't do anything wrong.
You and Eddie as buddies
makes perfect sense.
Yeah, we do.
And you know he can have
more than one friend, right?
Uh, yes, I-I do know that. [CHUCKLES]
I mean, it's not like I could
ever replace you. [CHUCKLES]
Christopher would absolutely
have something to say about that.
That kid cannot shut up about you.
Really?
Really.
I-I guess Eddie is, uh,
pretty pissed, huh?
No, he's not.
In fact, he feels bad. We both do.
Nobody meant to exclude you, Evan.
Eddie and I hanging out,
it wasn't about you.
That's usually my problem. [CHUCKLES]
Uh, I can get pretty jealous.
Yeah, you're not the only one.
I was super jealous.
You? Over what?
All of you. The 118.
How it's become like
a family over there.
I mean, how you all
were willing to put everything
on the line for one another.
I wanted to be a part of that.
Hey, you-you were. A-and you did.
Y-you even made
- fake mouth static at the fire chief.
- [LAUGHS]
I'm renowned for my fake mouth static.
- It was not great. [LAUGHS]
- Come on. Hey.
It was not convincing,
but you did it anyway.
Y-y-you threw in with us, no hesitation,
and I thought, "Wow. That guy is cool.
I like that guy."
I mean, that's why I called
and asked for the tour.
You know, it wasn't about me
maybe leaving the 118, Tommy. I
I just, I wanted to get to know you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And then you left with
Eddie, which, listen,
you don't have to tell
me how great Eddie is.
You know, I've known that since
the first day I worked with him.
Of course you want to
hang out with Eddie. Plus,
well, I-I don't know Muay Thai.
I could teach you.
Okay. I-Is that gonna be
right after our flying lessons?
Probably not on the same day.
Good.
'Cause trying to get your attention
has been kind of exhausting.
My attention?
Yeah, I guess so.
Uh
I mean, I
I did maim my best friend. [CHUCKLES]
My sister says there are, uh,
better ways to get someone's atten
Like that?
Yeah, that works.
So that was okay?
It was better than fake mouth static.
[TOMMY CHUCKLES]
I got a shift.
Okay.
Yeah, crosstown traffic,
and I came in a car this time.
So what are you doing Saturday?
Uh, S-Saturday?
You still owe me that beer.
You free?
Yes. I-I
I am free.
Great.
So let's say I come by around,
I don't know, 8:00?
Yeah, 8:00 is great.
Great. See you Saturday.
Saturday.
And, for God's sake, please call Eddie.
Now would be a good time.
He's on pain pills. [LAUGHS]
