9-1-1 (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - Fight or Flight - full transcript

The first responders rally together to search for a missing Maddie.

This right here is your stop.

Catch all-new episodes Mondays, and
check out our other Fox programs...

Empire, Star, and The Resident.

Let's use today as an opportunity
to celebrate what's to come.

Only on Fox.

I have an adult male

with multiple stab wounds
to his torso.

Need medical
and police response.

Okay, sir, can I get your name?

Evan Buckley.

I'm a firefighter with the 118.



- Buck?
- Yeah, victim is Howard Han.

He's got profuse bleeding
to his abdomen.

Breathing is labored.
Might have hit a lung.

Come on, Chim. Hang in there.

Buck, RA unit's two minutes out.

Do you know how this happened?

- How long has he been down?
- I don't know.

I just got home and found him.

Given the amount of blood,
I would say minutes, not hours.

How's his pulse?

Weak, but it's there.

- Jason...
- H-Hold on, he's...

he's talking. Chim, it's me,
it's Buck. I'm here, okay?

I just need you
to stay with me, Chimney.



- Jason took her...
- Chimney, who is Jason?

Maddie...

Where is Maddie?

Chimney, where is Maddie?

Chimney, where is Maddie?

Wh-Where is Maddie?

- We got it, sir.
- Maddie!

Maddie!

Maddie.

Maddie, where are you?

Maddie! Maddie, are in you here?

Maddie!

She's, she's not here.

She's gone.

No.

Buck? What is it, Buck?

Did you find something?

All of her stuff is still here.

All units responding
to 1832 Bryson,

be advised we also have
a critical missing adult female

Maddie Buckley Kendall.

He found her.

- Hey, babe, where's the thing?
- What thing?

That fancy opener
that I took out a loan for.

Screw it. I'm going old-school.

Made a mix,
some of your favorites.

Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye.

Nice. Greatest love songs
ever written.

And every one of them

reminds me of you.

You're sweet.

I am, it would appear,

the heart surgeon
that stole your heart.

Not just surgeon; The chief
of cardiothoracic medicine.

I'm really proud of you.

Second-youngest in the state,
which my father would file under

the "Close But Not Quite"
Department.

But screw him, right?

We're celebrating anyway.

No, no, put away those
Two-Buck Chuck glasses.

An occasion like this

requires something
more distinctive.

Wow, we haven't,
used those since the wedding.

Yeah.

One of the few things
I have left of my mother.

Toast softer this time.

The chip is still there.

This promotion, it's not because
of some good-luck glasses.

It's because of my
good-luck girl.

To my Maddie.

Accidents happen, right?

My mother always used to say
that an accident

is just an opportunity to learn.

The problem, Maddie,
is that you never do.

Damn it, Maddie!

This is your fault.

I told you, I told you
you couldn't leave me.

- I warned you.
- Is he dead?

If he's not, he will be.

- He's not our problem anymore.
- Why would you do that?

He's-he's such a-a kind man.
He was so good.

You think I don't know that?

I didn't want to hurt him.
I liked Chimney.

- We were friends.
- What?

But you cloud me, Maddie.

You fog up my head.
You always have.

If you'd have just stayed.

Doug, how long
have you been here?

I needed to make sure
you were safe.

I saw you with Buck,
I thought, all right, fine.

She needs some time,
just give her some space.

She'll come home.

She always comes home.

And then Chimney told me
you asked him out,

and I knew...
I knew I waited too long.

No.

No, can you just pull over?
We can talk.

It's not too late.

Of course it's too late.

I just killed a man
for you, Maddie.

There is no coming back
from that.

Not for me, and not for you.

I got here as fast as I could.

How's he doing?

Alive, but he's got
a punctured lung

and a lacerated stomach.

Is he in surgery?

Not yet. He lost a lot of blood.

But as soon as he's stable,
they'll prep him for surgery.

Who would do something
like this?

It was Doug.

Doug Kendall.

He told Maddie he would kill her
if she left him.

He did this.

You said he lives
in Pennsylvania.

He knows she was here?

No, she-she... She was
filing for divorce.

That could have put her
back on his radar.

Well, we'll take a look at him,
but before your friend

lost consciousness,
he said he was attacked

by a Jason Bailey.

Either of you know who that is?

I don't think so.

Wait...

Wait. Hold on, Detective.
I know he had a new friend,

some guy he was...
he was playing pool with.

I never met him,
but now I know why, you know,

'cause it was Doug.
He got close to Chimney

so that he could
get close to Maddie.

You don't believe me?
I mean, I mean,

Chimney's phone is right there.
You know, ch-check for yourself.

Phone's locked.

Can't open it without
the victim's consent.

They'll subpoena
his phone records,

but it'll take time.

Well, Maddie doesn't
have time, okay?

Come on, Doug did this!

He-he almost killed
Chimney, and...

and he could...
he could kill her next.

- But he didn't.
- Bobby...

Buck, just listen to me.

Buck, may-maybe you're right.

It's Doug.

And he found out where
Maddie was, and he came here,

and he hurt Chimney,
but Maddie's not here,

and if all he wanted to do
was kill her...

Then I would have
found her, too.

And you didn't.
She was alive when he took her,

and that's what we're gonna
hold onto right now.

Um...

Can I... can I... can I...
can I change my shirt?

It-it's covered in...

Fine, just don't touch anything.

And bag his shirt
when he's done.

Athena, someone
has to prepare him.

We're not there yet.

You don't think you're gonna
find her alive.

The most dangerous time
for a woman in these situations.

When she leaves.
Maddie knew that.

That's why she was in hiding.

But if it is him...

Those scenarios usually don't
come with a happy ending.

Hey, Cap, I need
to go to the hospital.

I-I-I want to see Chimney.

I'll drive him.

- Anyone see anything?
- No witnesses.

We're still trying to access
her security footage,

but a camera across the street

caught a man
forcing her into his car.

All we got is a four-door sedan,
dark in color.

Doesn't exactly
narrow the search.

Where's Chimney's phone?

Sorry about this, buddy.

You're not supposed
to be in here.

- God, please don't let him die.
- Please, sir.

- You have to go back to the lobby.
- You can't, you can't die on me.

- Sir, you need to leave. No.
- You can't, please...

- Sir, you have to go.
- Okay, I'm going, I'm going.

You know, Detective Marks
didn't believe me.

He said no one
could be that stupid.

I said, "You don't know Buck."

So...

that was a bold move.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

"What were you thinking, Buck?"

I already got an earful
from Athena.

No, I know what you were
thinking. I got sisters, too.

Still not sure how you thought

you were getting away
with it, though.

I wasn't worried about that.

It's, like, police have
all these rules, you know?

Rules that are
gonna get Maddie killed.

But-but I'm a civilian.

Those rules, they don't
apply to me, right?

Then why are you
in hospital jail?

I told Maddie...

I said that she didn't need
to keep on running,

that she could start over here,
that she would be safe.

That I would keep her safe.

This isn't your fault.

What if she had kept running?

You think he wouldn't
have found her?

Only then, she'd be alone.

She's alone now,

with him.

I spoke with Detective Marks.

- He's not happy with you.
- I-I-I just...

Yeah, you broke
chain of custody.

You unlocked Chimney's phone
without his permission.

- Marks can't use any of it.
- I'm sorry.

Okay? I was trying to help.

Okay. Let's go.

The car's out front.

You're arresting me.

Not yet.
But the night's still young.

Wh-where are we going?

To find your sister.

If Doug is Jason,
this phone is how we find him.

But we gonna need a little help.

I thought you said
we couldn't use the phone.

I said Marks can't use it.

This isn't my case.

I'm just a concerned friend
of the victim.

Thank you.

Buck.

Here are the ground rules

You don't leave her sight,
you don't lie,

you don't withhold
any information from her,

you don't break the law,
and you don't do anything

that's gonna force her into
early retirement. You got it?

You got it, Cap.

Come on. Where is it?

Continue following the road
for 1.7 miles.

I don't... I don't see anything.

- Just do it already.
- What?

Kill me.

That's your plan, right?

Kill Chimney, kill me;
Hopefully, do the world a favor

and kill yourself
before it's done.

Why would I kill you, Maddie?

I don't want to hurt you.
I love you.

I can't imagine my life
without you.

You're all I have.

You don't have me.

Your destination
is on the right.

There it is.

You see?

Never give up hope.

Don't move.

I'm not sure
how we can help, Sergeant,

but whatever you need.

Athena, please. I'm off duty.

This is Josh.

Athena.

And Buck, Maddie's brother.

Maddie's told me
a lot about you.

Same here. Any word on her?

Well, police don't have much

to go on yet.
So, neither one of us are good

at sitting around and waiting,
so I thought I'd come by

- and ask you some questions, unofficially.
- Sure.

- What do you want to know?
- Well, when people dial 911,

you can see where
they're calling from, right?

If they're calling
from a landline, absolutely.

Cell phones are trickier.

We don't get
an automatic address.

Our system has
to digitally request

the phone's location
from the cellular network.

Okay, well,
this is Chimney's phone.

We think he was in contact
with his attacker.

- Maddie's husband.
- Chimney didn't know

it was him; He-he thought
his name was Jason.

Now, I'm wondering,
hypothetically,

if this number called 911
and hung up,

is your system able to request

location data
after the call was disconnected?

Hypothetically, sure.

- But we'd...
- Of course we could.

You know, it's funny,

this number seems familiar,
and, in fact,

I think I might have taken
a call from it earlier.

An emergency call.

Josh,

are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.
Let's make a manual request.

Hey, where you going?

I-I was looking for you.

I have to pee.

Yeah? You sure that's all?

Y-Yeah.
I mean, look around, Doug.

Where am I going to run to?

Do you want me to pee
in the restroom or the car?

Keep your head down.

Evening.

- You folks doing okay?
- Yeah, good. Um,

do you have a restroom
that I could use?

I feel like we've been
on the road forever.

Sure thing.

In the back, to the left.

Thank you.

You folks vacationing?

Yeah. Second honeymoon.

You okay, babe?

Yeah. Yeah, I-I'll be out
in a minute.

Let's go.

Let's go, Maddie.

- Maddie!
- No!

You're always running.

Aren't you tired by now?
I sure am tired

- of chasing you.
- Just let me go.

Please just let me go.
Let me go!

Hey!

- No...
- You heard the lady.

Back away. Let her go.

No. Sir, honestly,
I-I think that you've...

- I said back away.
- I-I think you're misunderstanding.

Back away, man.

God.

My God.

Sir...

Sir, stay with me, okay?
I'm gonna call 911,

and they are gonna save you.

Stay with me. Okay, it's okay.

Stay with me.

My God.

No one's saving anyone now.

- Let's go. Let's go.
- No, no...

So, Chimney goes online
to one of those

Internet forums for new mothers.

They all give him advice.

"Skin-to-skin contact
works best."

"No, the sound
of a-a vacuum cleaner."

"A cool breeze is soothing."

A vacuum to stop a baby crying?
I missed out on all this.

Which one did he go with?

All of them.

We come home and find him
asleep... shirtless...

On the floor with Denny
on top of him,

a fan blowing at them

and the vacuum cleaner
running in the corner.

Wow, he went all out?

He always does.

He always puts his heart
into everything.

- Hey, hey.
- Hey.

- What are you guys doing here?
- Harry and I were out.

I needed to get some coffee.

Then we thought,

you guys probably
need some, too.

We haven't met,
but I love you. Eddie.

Michael. Pleasure.

- Hey, this is a surprise.
- We brought food.

- Got you a bear claw.
- That's my favorite.

- Thank you.
- You check on Chim?

Yeah, he's still in surgery.

It's starting to feel
like an annual tradition.

Another hospital, another
girlfriend not by his bedside

and me wondering
what I'm supposed to tell him

- when he wakes up.
- We'll tell him the truth.

Whatever that turns out to be.

All right.

Thank you.

- Very thoughtful.
- It's Harry's idea.

You know, he was worried,
so he wanted to come down

and make sure
everything was okay.

He's a sweet kid.
It's nice of him

to be worried about Chimney.

He wasn't worried about Chimney.

He was worried about you.

Detective Marks.

Andy, it's Athena.

Listen, you're gonna get
a call from Sue Blevins

at 911 dispatch.

She might have a lead
on Doug's location.

Do I want to know
how she obtained

this very important information?

Let's just call it
an anonymous tip and not look

any gift horses in the mouth.

- We'll meet you there.
- Copy that.

You're awfully quiet
over there, Buckaroo.

When we get there...

what-what do you think
we're going to find?

I mean, he-he threatened
to kill her, you know,

a-almost did kill Chimney.

- What if... what if he...
- No.

My gut is telling me not to
count your sister out just yet.

Maddie didn't just
rebuild her life.

She rebuilt herself.

Doug may have her, but I don't
think he has any idea

who he's dealing with now.

Damn it.

We have to get off this road.

Just shut up.

There were cameras, Doug.
When they find that guy...

Do you think this was my fault?

No.

- No, it was my fault.
- That's right.

That's what happens when you try
to run away from me, Maddie.

- People get hurt.
- Yeah, I know.

I'm done running.

You must think I'm an idiot.

I think you're a monster.
I don't think you're...

- That was honest, anyway.
- I mean it.

I can't stand the idea
of one more person dying,

so I'm not gonna run, Doug.

You've got me.

But we have to get off
this road.

We need to figure this out.

Is that what
you're gonna do, Maddie?

You're gonna help me
figure this out?

That's what I do.

I help people think clearly
in a crisis.

- I am thinking clearly.
- Yeah? So where are we going?

I'll figure it out.

The longer we are on this road,

the more likely it is
that we get pulled over,

and we both know how that ends.

So what do you suggest?

I saw signs for... for Big Bear
a few miles back.

There are vacation homes.

Probably empty.

Like the Poconos.

Yeah. You'll love it.

Hi, Chimney.

Hey.

I heard you had another surgery.

Yeah.

I guess I'm catching up
with you.

Hey.

You're awake.

Looks like you got
your first visitor.

Does your dad know
you're in here?

Chris.

I'm gonna say no.

Welcome back, man.

We were worried about you.

I wasn't worried.

I'm starting to think
he's invincible.

- Like a superhero?
- Yeah.

Just like a superhero.

Okay, buddy.

Let's, let Chimney rest.

We can visit him later.

Don't eat the meat loaf.

No?

That's how I lost a tooth.

Thanks for the tip, buddy.

Let's go.

Have a good rest.

Where's Maddie?

It's not my phone.

I don't know where it came from.

Found the phone.

No sign of our suspect
or your sister.

Yeah, but he has
Doug's phone. How?

Well, driver left
Salt Lake City yesterday.

Been on the road ever since.
Says he's got no clue

how the phone ended up
in his truck.

Sir, you make any stops?

Gas station,
just before sunrise.

See anybody else there?

When I was leaving, saw a couple
going into the store.

He knew we could use
the phone to track him.

Probably dropped it in the truck
just to throw us off.

So they could be
anywhere by now.

Yeah. And Doug's
way ahead of us.

I don't think I brought enough.

No, you brought
everything I needed.

Missed the whole day with him.

I know.

That's why we came.

Well, that and I remember

what it was like
to live at a hospital.

Uncomfortable chairs,
terrible food.

You don't have to stay.

I-I mean,
if you have stuff to do...

No.

I'm good here.

We only have eyes on the pumps
and the register.

Now, best we can guess,

she goes out the back window,
husband catches her.

Yeah, cashier sees
something's wrong. Goes to help.

Winds up getting shot
with his own gun.

Guess he thought
he could handle it on his own.

Sir.

Found this in the bathroom.

It's a rental car agreement.

For a dark gray,
four-door sedan.

Looks like she started
to write "help" on the back.

Rented near Burbank Airport.

I'll put out an APB.

Well, we know
where he rented the car.

Maybe we can use that
to track him.

Like LoJack.

Well, rental car companies
don't use GPS tracking.

- It's too expensive.
- Yeah.

Major companies don't.
But if you're Bob

and you only have 12 cars
in your fleet,

you might want to know
where they are at all times.

Hey. It's Marks.

I think we got a lead
on our suspect.

Thank God there wasn't an alarm.

Why do you think
I cut the phone line?

So I couldn't call for help.

Yeah, that, too.

All right,
I guess I'll make us a fire.

Give us some warmth.

I'll see if I can get some food.

Whoa. In the kitchen?
Where the knives live?

I don't think so.

Just sit right there.

You remember you and me
and that place in the Poconos?

- Was it our second anniversary?
- Fourth.

Don't forget
to open the flue this time.

The cleaning fee was almost
as much as the cabin rental.

- Smelled like smoke for a week.
- Yeah.

Bunch of hick firefighters
laughing at the city kid.

I'm trying to impress my wife,

and they're down there
flirting with her.

What is it with women?

They get all weak-kneed
over a man in uniform.

I don't know.

I married a guy
who wears surgical scrubs.

Yeah, I guess
I'm a man in uniform, too?

Good evening, ma'am.

Hello, Officer.
How can I help you?

One of your neighbors called us.

Said they heard some yelling,
some sounds of a fight.

Thought there might been some
kind of altercation going on.

It must have been a mistake,
'cause everything's fine here.

It's a warm night for a sweater.

Yeah, I-I don't know who
would have called you, but...

everything's fine.

Ma'am, if you're
in some kind of danger...

Hey, babe, everything okay?

Officer. What's going on?

We just had some reports
about, um...

some cars being broken into
in the neighborhood.

I just wanted to check and see
if you folks might have seen

- or heard anything.
- Man, that's terrible.

Yeah, I was just saying that we,

- um, we didn't hear anything.
- Yeah.

Well, thank you for your time.

Of course.
You have a good one, Officer.

I just need you
to sign this right here to prove

I did a thorough canvass.

Look, I get you're scared
of what he'll do

if you report him,
but you need to think

about what he's gonna do
if you don't.

Okay? Don't be afraid to run.

Be afraid to stay.

We can be happy again.

A fresh start in a new place.

New names.
We can become new people.

All right, not just to
the world, but to each other.

And you'll forgive me
and love me again. I know it.

Yeah.

I always found a way
to forgive you.

So we try again.

Start right now.

My God.

Maddie!

Maddie!

I'm such an idiot.

I'm the one
who put her in danger.

Stop it.

He was playing me
this whole time.

How could I not see it?

Because psychopaths
don't generally

announce
that they're psychopaths.

He's gonna kill her, isn't he?

I don't know.

Maddie! Maddie!

You can't keep running!

You can't run forever!

Maddie!

You can't run forever.

Maddie!

We found the rental car.

No sign of the suspect
or the victim.

We found the kidnapper's
abandoned vehicle nearby,

so we're looking for a couple.

They, may have come in earlier

looking
for a last-minute rental.

No, it's been quiet today.
Nobody's come in.

Are these all the properties
that you manage?

No, those are
just the ones we highlight.

There's a... a magazine inside.

It has all the listings.

- Um, how many do you manage?
- 300.

You backtracking bitch.

I'm not running.

No!

Thank you... Officer.

Thank you.

You don't have to lie to me.

I know what he said.

What they all say.

They want you to leave me.

But they don't understand
that that can never happen.

We're meant to be together.

To live together,

to grow old together
and die together.

That's...

that's how this story ends.

No.

No.

Local sheriff got a report
of gunshots.

They followed up. Found this.

Yeah, rental manager says
all the lake cabins are vacant.

Well, somebody's been here,

and they left in a hurry.

It's got to be them, right?

Question now is,

which way did they go?

If she's out there and...

and she's hurt...

They're sending more officers.

Search and rescue's on its way.

Choppers, dogs.

It's gonna be
a full-court press.

I got blood out here!

Maddie! Maddie!

Maddie!

- Buck?
- Maddie!

Buck?

Maddie.

Buck!

Hey. Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm here. I'm here.

I didn't give up.

I... I didn't give up.

I...

You did so good.

Never seen red snow before.

It's a miracle
she made it out alive.

No. No miracle here.

That woman fought like hell.

- Almost there.
- You're doing great.

Tired.

Hey, hey, Maddie, I-I know...

I know you're tired,
but I-I need you

to keep your eyes open for me.

Yeah, you-you know the drill.

Yeah, just... just like that.

Hey, you, you think

you had a hard day.

Athena and I have been running
all over the state

looking for you.

I wasn't dressed for snow.

Me, either.

Athena said she'd...

she'd call Bobby,

let everyone know
that you're okay.

They are gonna be...
so relieved.

Chimney.

Chimney most of all.

Chimney's alive?

My God. Y...

Maddie, no, yeah,
Ch-Chimney's alive.

He...

He-he made it through.

You both did.

How are we doing, Mr. Han?

Ready to get out of here.

Three days
after major abdominal surgery?

You might want to pace yourself.

I'm gonna start pacing myself

up and down these walls
pretty soon.

Well, maybe...
your friend can distract you.

What are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be
in the hospital?

I am in the hospital.

I got myself transferred.

No, no, no...

No.

All this is... gonna heal.

I'm gonna be okay.

How are you feeling?

Starting to hate hospitals.

But this is much better
than rebar.

No coma, so...

I thought...

I really thought that...

Me, too.

You're okay.

We're okay.

You've answered the call
on 9-1-1.

Now here are a few more shows
to check out from Fox.

Rule number one
if you want to stay alive.

Don't lie to your doctor.

- Profits over patients, again.
- You save your morality lesson.

You have to save him!

Be careful.

- You tried to kill him.
- I had no choice!

Shall we?

The Resident,
all new, Mondays at 800 on Fox.

We did bad things, Lucious.

And it's coming back to collect

with a living, breathing,
furious man

who calls you "Daddy."

I am your flesh and blood,
and you don't give a damn.

Miss a moment of Empire?

He could destroy
everything we've built.

I took the thing
that you value most,

and I toyed with it
for my own entertainment.

We gotta take him down.

Empire, Wednesday.
