Okay, I
I know you're under a lot of pressure
to downsize right now, but [CHUCKLES]
I I just want to
remind you that I am, uh,
very dedicated to this team.
The numbers don't lie, Archie.
What is this? Customer surveys?
Customer survey. Singular.
Somehow, only one of your customers
felt the need to fill one out in Q3,
and he ranked you
"Neutral"?
Why would you even fill it out, then?
I hate to do this, Archie. I really do.
Okay, so don't.
I was supposed to
do it before Christmas.
Oh, but you were
feeling charitable. Got it.
Honestly, I just forgot
that you worked here.
Okay, look. Okay.
Please, just give me one
more chance, all right?
I I'm saving up for my wedding.
A And I promised my cousin
that I would help him with
a deposit on an apartment.
If I don't get him out of our place,
my fiancée is gonna kill me.
Sorry, man.
It's business.
Dale.
Not everyone is Cluck N Pluck material.
Clean out your locker, okay?
["ON YOUR BIKE" BY
HEINZ KIESSLING PLAYING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[VICKY] I told you he's not here.
Huh? Vicky?
[ALEX] This isn't
right. We have to stop.
Alex?
[VICKY] God, you're a good kisser.

- [ALEX] Yeah.
LAFD. Anybody home?
[MUSIC PLAYING LOUDLY]
Dispatch said they heard
distressing sounds on the line.
Sh Should we use the ram?
Yes, Buck. We can use the ram.
LAFD! LAFD!
- [MUSIC STOPS]
- [ALEX AND VICKY LAUGHING]
- [VICKY GASPING]
- Oh!
- Oh.
- [VICKY] Oh, my God.
Somebody here called 911.
- [VICKY] No.
- [CHUCKLES] Uh, no.
Not us. Not us.
- [ARCHIE] It was me.
- Who said that?
- [ARCHIE] I did.
- [CHIMNEY] Excuse us.
Excuse us.
- [ARCHIE] I'm in here.
- Guys, get him out of there.
[GRUNTING]
Yeah, uh, hey.
Archie.
[GRUNTING]
- Who's Archie?
- My boyfriend.
[ARCHIE] Fiancé, actually.
So, you're the boyfriend?
Uh, no, I'm the cousin.
Wait, you're her cousin?
- His cousin.
- His cousin.
Is that much better?
How did you even get in there?
Well, I was tidying up.
Like hell. You were
spying on us, weren't you?
Archie, where's the trust, cuz?
Okay, Hen, Chim, check
him out before we move him.
If you two could step back,
please, let my people work.
- Thank you.
- Hi, Archie. My name is Hen.
Can you, uh, wiggle
your fingers and toes?
[ARCHIE] Oh, yeah. Yep.
Okay, that's great.
- Little hard to breathe, though.
- All right.
He's satting at 95.
[HEN GRUNTS]
The frame is compressing his chest, Cap.
All right, guys, let's get him out.
Okay, on three. One, two, three.
[GRUNTING AND STRAINING]
Uh, no, this thing's really
jammed in there, Cap.
Jaws?
Nope, saws. We can't
risk it shifting more.
- Let's cut those slats.
- Copy that. Excuse me.
[SHALLOW BREATH]
- [ARCHIE MOANS]
- Coming through.
- Here, jacket.
- Yep.
- [BOBBY] Just hang tight.
- I'm not going anywhere.
[BUZZING]
Archie, when the bed came down on you,
did you hit your head or lose
consciousness or anything?
No, unfortunately, I was
awake for the whole thing.
So, why didn't you speak up?
Eh, I don't know.
I tried to at first, uh
I think I just wanted
to mostly disappear,
and I guess I kind of did.
You know, I'm the
kind of guy who just
blends into the furniture.
Just, uh, usually not quite this much.
Okay, Hen, watch out. Last one.
[WHIRRING]
Okay.
All right. Nice and
easy. Hold on a second.
[GRUNTING]
[GROANS] Oh, my back.
Let's slide him over. I got you.
- Yeah.
- Okay, come on. There you go.
That's it.
Take some deep breaths
for me, okay, Archie?
[INHALES DEEPLY]
- [EXHALES]
- Let me just see if I can
- What do you think, Hen?
- [HEN] He's a little dehydrated,
but his vitals are strong.
We should travel him
to the ER, just to be safe.
Oh. No.
I don't want to be a bother.
And I also just lost my
health insurance, so
You got fired?
- Archie.
- Archie.
- [ALEX] Dude.
- [VICKY] God.
Maybe I will take that
ride with you guys after all.
I'm not gonna make it.
Hey. You're gonna make it.
No, the recipe said,
"perfect slow-cooker
barbacoa in eight hours."
Not seven hours and 45 minutes.
Recipes are just a guideline.
To Helena Diaz, they're gospel.
First family dinner in the new house.
It'd better be fork-tender.
A slow-cooker is never wrong.
Your mom is gonna love it.
Who cares if she loves it?
Chris. Chris has gotten
used to her cooking.
I don't want to give
him a reason not to want
to move back in with me.
Wait, he's, uh, he's
finally coming to stay?
No. No, just dinner.
I I don't want to be
heavy-handed about this.
Okay, have you asked him yet?
No. I was hoping he would ask me.
I want it to be his choice.
And you're setting your
honey trap using barbacoa.
And the Mavericks this weekend.
The Mavericks. That's,
uh, that's Dallas, right?
I got us tickets.
They're not floor seats,
but you can see the floor.
I'm gonna surprise
him with them at dinner.
Father/son road trip.
- That's gonna be big.
- [KNOCKING AT DOOR]
It's them.
Still got 11 minutes.
Okay, so vamp. It's gonna be great.
Bye, Buck.
[RAMON] Hey.
- Hey, right on time.
- [HELENA] Hey.
Here you go.
Yeah, we would've been here earlier,
but you know how Fu Chow's
- gets all backed up.
- Crazy.
I told you I was cooking.
Oh. Did you?
Well, you know,
there'll be more options.
That's all.
[RAMON] So, did he
show you his report card?
Uh, not yet.
A's and B's across the board.
[RAMON] Mmm.
- No way, that's great, Chris.
- [HELENA] Mm-hmm.
[RAMON] And you should
hear what the teachers
have to say about him. It's remarkable.
Mi niño, we are all so proud of you.
Maybe I can get you an extra
honor roll bumper sticker for your car.
Unless your work doesn't allow
drivers to have those things.
- No?
- Honor roll, huh?
- That's great.
- It's not a big deal.
Big enough to celebrate.
And I've got just the thing
planned for us this weekend.
- Not this weekend.
- [HELENA] Oh. Oh.
Not this weekend?
[HELENA] Yeah, they've
got the big regional
chess tournament in Lubbock
this weekend, remember?
Um no.
Yeah, I I'm sure we mentioned it.
[RAMON] No.
Uh, well, he's playing it cool,
but you're excited, aren't you, Chris?
I guess.
Yeah. Coach Calderon says he's a ringer.
Órale, I'd hate to be on
the other side of that board.
- [HELENA] Yeah.
- [EDDIE] Well,
still, I'd like to be there.
You don't have to, Dad. It's really far.
[HELENA] Yeah, a and
they're only allowing one parent
per contestant this year.
So your father's going with him.
Sounds like a blast.
As long as I can keep
up with this guy, huh?
[HELENA LAUGHS]
You two are gonna have a ball there.
Diaz boys hitting the highway.
[RAMON] The Diaz men.
- Right, Chris?
- [CHRISTOPHER] Right.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Right.
["HAPPY BIRTHDAY" BY
ALTERED IMAGES PLAYING]
Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪
Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪
Happy birthday. ♪
Good morning.
Hey.
Denny, let's start packing it up.
We're gonna be late.
You say that every
morning, and we're never late.
[KAREN] Now is not
the time to debate me.
Good morning, Mama.
Oh. Mm.
Now, that's the way
I like to start my morning.
How do I look?
- Oh. Very snazzy.
- Good.
I wanted to look very
special. Today is a big day.
- [HEARTFELT GASP]
- It's picture day.
Oh. Picture day.
It was on the calendar.
Mara, let's go.
You can finish your bagel in the car.
All right, let's go. Oh,
ooh, I almost forgot.
Um, do you think you
could pick up dinner tonight?
We're prepping for
the new launch at work,
and I'm probably gonna be late.
Y You want me to pick
up takeout? Tonight?
Yeah. Is that a problem?
N No.
Great. Cooking is the last
thing I want to do tonight.
You look nice today.
- Thank you.
- Mm.
Kids.
[DENNY] Later, Mama.
[MARA] Bye!
[DOOR CLOSES]
Bye.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hey.
Happy birthday, birthday girl.
Thank you, Athena.
So, what's the big plan for the big day?
Not a thing, apparently.
I think Karen forgot my birthday.
- What?
- I'm serious.
They all just ran up out of
here like it was any other day.
Not even so much as a card.
I'm sure they did not forget.
You know Karen.
She's probably got
something great planned.
She just wants to surprise you.
I hate surprises. She knows that.
[BEEPING]
Athena, let me give you a call back.
That's my mother on the other line.
See, I'm not the only one who remembers.
Mothers never forget.
Go let that woman shower
her baby with some love.
- Thank you.
- [BEEPING]
[FABRIC RUSTLING]
Ma?
Ma, you there?
Henrietta?
Hey, Ma.
Hey, honey. Um, can I call you back?
I'm out for my walk.
But you were the one who called me.
I did? Hmm.
Must've been a butt dial.
That happens a lot when I'm out rucking.
When you're what now?
Rucking.
It's supposed to be
good for my bone density.
Oh, honey, I was gonna call you today.
You were?
Yeah. Can I borrow your car?
- Hey.
- Hey. Mom.
What are you doing?
Stocking up for a sugar crash?
Are these really the healthiest
choices you could make?
This stuff isn't for me.
No, I'm delivering them.
Well, I suppose that's better than
thinking that's what's in your cupboards
when Christopher comes to visit.
No, when Chris comes over,
we usually just drink and smoke cigars.
Oh, ha ha.
- I've been meaning to call you, actually.
- Yeah?
I was thinking about Chris
for his chess tournament this weekend.
How you feel if Dad takes
the weekend off and I take him?
Oh. Uh, but isn't the
weekend a very busy time,
you know, for this?
Well, I make my own hours with this.
I'm here now, so why don't
I take more of the burden?
Your father doesn't
think of it as a burden.
I mean, he loves spending time
with Christopher. We both do.
So do I.
Oh, no.
No, no, yeah, of course you do.
God, I am so thick sometimes.
Um, look, I I'm sure Chris
would love for you to go with him.
Look, we're just gonna tell your father
that he's gonna have to
give up his seat on the bus
because you decided to go in his place.
It's fine. He'll understand that.
I mean [CLEARS THROAT]
Dad I guess he's been
coaching him this whole time.
I I don't want to hurt his chances.
Uh, he probably needs his coach.
There will be other tournaments.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Of course. Yeah.
Ooh, you know what? Um
You should probably
get those things delivered
before they melt in the
back of your new car.
I got this. Bye, honey.
[INDISTINCT BUSY CHATTER]
[CHIMNEY] Ah, there she is.
[BUCK] Yeah, we've been waiting for you.
Hey, fellas, what's all the buzz?
Oh, it's a special day.
It is?
All right.
Looks like everybody's
here. That's great.
Today is a big day for the 118.
It's HEN day.
Cap, you don't have to
The new high-efficiency nozzles
have arrived, and we
get to test them out.
Maybe we'll even get lucky
and respond to a fire today.
Small, manageable nonthreatening fire.
I thought the 123 was testing these.
[BOBBY] They are, but the chief
wants more data, so we are, too.
Who wants to tackle a HEN
and see what she can do?
- Do we have to call them HEN?
- [CHIMNEY] Come on.
It's a new toy. You got to get excited.
[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
Run flats, huh?
[GRUNTS]
Having a little trouble with my nuts.
My nuts?
[SIGHS]
[CLANGING]
Are you seri
Seriously?
[SIGHS]
[PANTING] Okay.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS] Come on, you're
not gonna do me like that.
Come on, you little son of a bitch.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
Oh, no!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
- [CRUNCHING]
- [SCREAMING]
For the love of God, stop!
- Hey. Hey. Hey! Hey!
- [ARCHIE SCREAMING]
Wait, wait, wait!
- What the hell?
- [ARCHIE] Help me!
- Damn it!
- [PANTING]
[SCREAMS]
- Are you the driver?
- [ZEKE] Yeah.
[SIRENS WAILING]
My jack was jammed.
We couldn't get him out.
Oh.
Hi. Again.
- Archie?
- Yeah.
- You you know him?
- We all do.
We do?
My fiancée cheated on me.
On top of me.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Archie. Hey.
- Oh, yeah.
- I remember, yeah.
- [BUCK] Yeah. Hey.
You people ought to
be ashamed of yourself.
Archie, a-are you in pain?
It's not super comfortable, you know?
How did this even happen?
I was looking for my nut, and I
got caught when he,
you know, rolled his tires.
Dumbass was lurking
in the undercarriage.
I wasn't lurking.
[ZEKE] Then why couldn't I see you?
Because nobody ever does.
Ravi, I want you to chock the tires.
Hen and Chim, check him out.
[ARCHIE GROANS]
[HEN] Archie, how's your breathing?
Fine. A little tight in here, though.
[BOBBY] Buck I want you to
get an airbag under that stand.
We're gonna lift up
the trailer a few inches.
Ravi, I want airbags and
cribbing under the tractor.
We're gonna jack it up so
we can remove that outer tire.
All right, got it, Cap.
[HEN] He's satting at 93.
BP's 150/90. Cap?
He's stable.
Okay. Airbag going up.
[WHIRRING]
[METAL GROANING]
[CHIMNEY] All right.
One shoulder's free.
All right, let's lift up that tractor.
Okay, here goes!
[AIR HISSING]
[METAL CREAKING]
Okay, let's hold it right there.
- Buck, hydraulic wrench.
- Yep.
- [WHIRS]
- Already got it.
You're gonna feel some vibrations,
- but it shouldn't hurt, okay, Archie?
- Okay.
[MACHINERY WHIRRING]
[METAL CLINKS]
[WHIRRING]
[BUCK] Okay.
- [GRUNTS]
- On three. One, two, three.
[BOBBY] Easy.
[TEAM GRUNTING]
[CHIMNEY] I got him.
- Nice and easy. There you go.
- All right. Easy, easy, easy.
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
Okay. Take some deep breaths.
[HEN] Okay.
[ARCHIE EXHALES HEAVILY]
Is this your missing nut?
[HEN] All right, I don't
think anything is broken,
which is a miracle,
but I really think that
you should get them
to take another look
at it at the hospital.
Why? They didn't see me last time.
What do you mean?
After you guys dropped me off there,
I waited in the ER, and
I never heard my name.
Did you say something?
I didn't want to be a bother.
Archie.
Well, also, Vicky had texted me
and told me that my stuff
was stacked on the curb.
I may be invisible, but my stuff is not.
I had to go back and load it up.
Are you living out of your car?
Well, just till I find another place.
Archie, y you're not invisible.
You're making yourself disappear.
And that's your fault.
You know, it's okay to
take up space in this world.
Instead of making yourself smaller,
put your chest out, make a noise.
You have to stand up and say,
"Hey, world, I'm here. I exist."
- Yeah.
- "I matter."
"And it's my birthday, and
it's not okay that you forgot."
Uh Well, it's not my birthday.
It It's a It's a
It's a metaphor.
No, Hen, listen.
Nope. It's too late.
[ARCHIE] Oh, it's
your birthday, isn't it?
Well, Hen
happy birthday.
Thanks, Archie.
- Uh
- Hen.
Hen.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
- [EDDIE] Hey, Buck.
- Uh, hey.
D Do you know what
Hen's favorite pie is?
[CHUCKLES] You forgot her birthday?
Did you remember?
We're Facebook friends.
How old are you?
Can't believe you forgot her birthday.
Not just me. We all did.
- I don't think a pie is gonna fix that.
- [BUCK SIGHS] Damn.
Wait, so are you getting ready
for your big basketball
weekend with Christopher?
I didn't know Chris and
my dad already had plans.
Well, what do you mean? Plans like
you're not invited?
A chess tournament.
And my dad's going with him.
He's his coach.
Who cares? Just go anyway.
It's not that simple.
Chris is in a good place.
I don't want to damage him.
You're his dad. He doesn't have a mom.
If you don't damage him, who will?
It's your job.
I would have to kick my dad off the bus.
They're taking a bus?
Yeah, with limited seating, evidently.
Well, take an Uber.
Y You are an Uber.
Take yourself.
Don't you want to go?
[SIGHS] Of course I do.
So, go. Nobody can stop you.
You know, dad up.
"Dad up"? That's your advice?
Yeah, hey, you tell him.
I hate to admit it,
but in this instance,
I think Buck is right.
Wha
You heard the whole thing?
Yeah. Why didn't you remind
us it was Hen's birthday?
All right. I'm hanging up.
Wait, wait, wait, have you
got any good gift ideas?
Bye, guys.
[GRUNTS]
Hi.
Chimney called you?
[SIGHS] Hen
I am so, so, so sorry.
But I do have a present for you.
Is that a real gift?
Or something you pulled from
your emergency gift cabinet
ten minutes ago?
Did I mention how sorry I am?
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Delivery for Henrietta Wilson.
Thanks.
[KAREN] That's so sweet.
I wonder who sent them.
Chimney.
He usually goes whimsical
when he knows he's done wrong.
Yeah, a at some
point, this is gonna be
a funny story that we tell people.
This is not that point yet.
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Thank you.
Here
[DOOR CLOSES]
Bobby. Probably some gourmet chocolate.
See? We might've forgotten,
but we all want to make it up to you.
I just don't understand
how how you, of all people.
Karen, you're the most
organized person I've ever met.
- You have three label makers.
- I know.
But the kids' schedule changed
and I just kept moving
things around on the calendar,
and I I think I just
- Deleted me?
- [KNOCKING AT DOOR]
J Just please leave it on the porch.
[DOOR OPENS]
I would, but I'm pretty sure
somebody would call child services.
I can't believe we forgot.
Oh.
Happy birthday, Mama.
Sorry, Mama. Happy birthday.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Mara, I'll let you slide because this is
our first birthday together.
But what's your excuse?
I'm old. I don't need an excuse.
Plus, I birthed you.
You should be celebrating me.
I do celebrate you, Mother.
On Mother's Day, on your birthday
Uh, why don't you guys
take the cake into the kitchen
and we'll eat it after dinner.
Well, what can we say? We're sorry?
We screwed up? It happens.
You know you're being silly, right?
I'm yelling at people while
holding a balloon bouquet.
Of course I know it's silly.
Hen, I I
[HEN] And it's very embarrassing
to have something that's so silly
hurt so much.
So I'm just gonna go be
alone with my balloons.
And my chocolate.
So, does this mean no cake?
[APPLAUSE]
Uh
[MS. RIVAS] Sir?
Did you want to sign in?
Sure.
Don't see a lot of seats here.
That's why I always bring my own.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Who are you here for?
Christopher Diaz.
Oh, Chris. Love him.
His father is right up front,
if you want to go and
squeeze right next to him.
- His father?
- Ramon.
Thanks.
Come on, Chris. You know what to do.
Come on, son.
[RETCHING]
[GASPING]
- [COUGHING]
- [EDDIE] It's okay, Chris.
- I got you.
- [CHRISTOPHER] Dad?
Eddie.
Uh, his crutches.
Let me help you.
No, I got this.
- Okay.
- [BREATHING RAGGEDLY]
All right.
There.
See? Good as new.
I
I got nervous.
I know.
[INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES]
Hey, Dad?
Yeah, Chris?
I
hate chess.
Hey, no, come on.
You're just feeling that way right now.
No, I mean it.
I thought you loved it.
Grandpa loves it.
And you love Grandpa.
And will you ask them if I can stop?
I don't have to ask them.
If you don't want to play
chess, you don't have to.
[SIGHS] I don't want them to
be mad at me when I get home.
Hey, they're not gonna
be mad at you, okay?
They they love you.
They just want you to be
happy. You know that, right?
Yeah.
And I want that, too.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, I was, uh
[CHUCKLES] I was gonna
ask this weekend if you
wanted to move back in with me,
but I think I changed my mind.
I'm not gonna ask.
No, I'm gonna tell you.
You're moving back in with
me, whether you like it or not.
Because you're my kid.
You'll be my dad again?
I've always been your dad.
And I'm gonna start acting like it.

[MUTTERING] Everything's
gonna be just fine.
[JEREMY] Wait, wait, wait!
[GRUNTS]
Sorry, brother. Didn't see you there.
[DALE] Honestly, I just
forgot you worked here.
[VICKY] You got fired? You're pathetic.
You're nothing like your stupid cousin.
[HEN] Archie, you're
making yourself disappear,
and that's your fault.
[SIRENS WAILING]
This is 727-L-30.
Approaching suspect vehicle.
Heading east on Pico. What do we know?
Driver activated the silent
alarm about five minutes ago.
Two passengers have texted 911
describing a white male suspect
with the driver at knifepoint,
forcing her to keep driving.
Any clue where?
So far, just following the normal route.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Dude, just put down the knife.
Oh, you see me now, huh?
I'm sorry I bumped into you.
All right? I apologize.
Yeah, yeah? Well, too late.
I am done being knocked over,
forgotten about,
- fornicated on!
- No one's fornicating, man.
I am allowed to take up
space in this world, okay?
People of the bus, you see me.
I'm a person in this world! I exist!
I matter!
Okay, well, you're well,
you're staring at me now,
and and you're making
me feel uncomfortable.
Okay? So stop looking at me!
We thought that's what you wanted.
It is, I mean, was. I I don't know!
Easy, man.
Hey, hey, hey, you stay back!
- Put it down.
- Stay back.

[SIREN APPROACHING, HORN BLARING]
- Where do you want us?
- Standing by.
According to HRT, Dispatch
says that our hijacker
already stabbed one
hostage with a carving knife.
- Has he been making any demands?
- Not really.
Just raving about how he matters
and he won't be walked
over and something about
taking up space in the world.
Did they get a description of him?
These items were left at the bus stop
where the suspect first got on.
We think they belong to him.
It's him, Cap.
Yeah.
[HEN] Commander?
I need you to let me talk to him.
He's armed and dangerous.
He might be armed,
but he's not dangerous.
We've rescued him twice already.
Trust me,
he wants to be rescued again.
Captain?
I don't love it.
But they could use a medic on board.
- [OFFICER] Move, move, move!
- [SIREN BLARING]
Any words of wisdom?
Yeah.
Don't get on the bus.
Archie.
It's Henrietta Wilson.
Hen.
I hear you have somebody
in there that needs
medical treatment.
[ARCHIE] Go away.
[HEN] I can help.
Can I come in, pl please?
[ARCHIE] I need to think!
Hen. [STAMMERS] I didn't mean to.
[STAMMERS] It was
an accident, like, just
Like, things just
they they just got out of hand.
- And I
- Okay. I I can see that.
I just
Let let me just
Okay. It's okay.
- [GASPING BREATHS]
- Let's see.
Did I did I kill him?
[HEN] Uh, I can stop the bleed.
But he'll need a hospital.
Fast, which means you're
gonna have to let him off the bus.
Yeah, sure, but
but but but just him.
Okay.
All right, Cap, I'm
sending out our patient
for massive transfusion protocol.
Meet us at the door with a gurney.
[CHIMNEY] Nice and easy.
That's it. We got you.
We got you.
- Back, back, back, back.
- Okay. Okay.
[HEN] Archie, listen to me.
Why don't you just tell the bus driver
to open the door again
and and let the rest
of these people go.
But if they come in,
they're gonna, they're gonna get me.
[HEN] No, no, they're not.
Because once all of these people
are are off the bus
and safe, then you,
you and me, we'll walk out together.
No, I I don't think I can.
You can.
- Open the door.
- Okay.
He's not gonna hurt anybody else.
How do you know that?!
Huh?! How do you know that?
I see you.
I see you.
Go ahead.
[ARCHIE] Go.
Go on. Go on. Go on.
Come on, come on, come on, go ahead.
Make sure your hands
are where they can see them.
[OFFICER] Go, go, go. Come
on. Move. Move, move, this way.
Let's go. Let's go. This way, folks.
A-team, over here.
[HEN] Okay.
It's you and me now.
You you should just go.
Not without you.
They're gonna take me to jail.
Yeah, they will.
I'm so sorry.
Archie, I gave you bad advice.
No!
No, no, you gave me great advice.
Maybe, but
it wasn't meant for you.
It was meant for me.
I was feeling like everybody in my life
forgot about me.
I wasn't really talking to you.
It's like you weren't even there.
Wow. What
I know.
I'm no better than the rest of them.
No. [STAMMERS] Except you
you got on this bus and you helped me.
You've helped me every time.
Well, then
how about
you drop that knife?
Take my hand.
And you come with me.
Can't I just go back to being invisible?
I don't think so.
[PANTING]
[STAMMERS]
I really don't want to go out there.
I know.
But you will.
You know why?
Because I asked you to.
And it's my birthday.
[SIGHS]
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
[SIREN WAILING]
Oh, uh, speaking of your birthday.
He's got something! Take him!
[HEN] No!
[GUNFIRE]
[HEN GRUNTING]
You saved me.
- A Again.
- What were you doing?
I was giving you your birthday present.
A keychain?
[ARCHIE] Yeah.
You know, it's, it's a chicken, like
like a hen?
I'll treasure it.
[EXHALES]
Archie Mullin
you are under arrest.
All right. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Eddie, what's going on?
Dad didn't call you?
Yeah, he said you
pulled Christopher from the tournament.
Then you know what's happening.
You left your father in Lubbock.
I didn't want him to
lose his seat on the bus.
[SIGHING]
What are you doing?
Right now, just making sure
he's got everything
he needs for tonight.
So he's sleeping at your place?
Yeah, until he's 18 at least.
I'll be back in a couple
days to get the rest of it.
So you're really just
disrupting his life right now?
I'm not disrupting his life, Mom.
I am his life.
Because I'm his father.
Not Dad.
And you, you're not his mother.
You're his grandmother.
And he loves you.
But you know what he hates?
Chess, Mom.
He hates chess.
He's so anxious to please
you and his abuelo
- Okay.
- that the kid's about ready to pop.
And you can't see it.
That is ridiculous.
He loves chess.
He is so good at it.
That's exactly what you
said to me when I was 14
and I told you I wanted
to quit ballroom dancing.
Probably in this very room.
Eddie, you loved ballroom
dance. I know you did.
I mean, like, you you
took home every trophy.
Yeah, I did love it.
Until you and Dad sucked out all the fun
and made it all about trophies.
Look, if you had kept at it,
you would've been on the
road to a scholarship, honey.
You could've gone to college.
I could've gone to college anyway, Mom.
I chose not to.
Yeah, well, look at you now.
Huh? You're a driver.
In this case, a getaway driver.
- Oh, Eddie.
- Mom.
I love you.
I'm really grateful that you were there
for him when he needed you.
But now he needs me.
- Call you later.
- Okay.
