9-1-1 (2018–…): Season 5, Episode 8 - Defend in Place - full transcript

A powerful storm hit
land in Haiti yesterday morning,

causing massive destruction
in a nation still recovering

from August's
devastating earthquake.

Residents are now

grappling with catastrophic...

Man, why anyone
would want to live

in the path
of constant hurricanes

will never
cease to amaze me.

Right.

They should move here,
where nothing bad ever happens.

Oh.
Fair point.



I'm going there.

You're going where?

To Haiti?

Yes.

I want to help
with relief efforts.

Since when?

Since people I know reached out
and asked me to.

It's not the first time.

I've always had a reason
to resist, but...

I think I ran out
of those reasons.

Okay, okay,
my head is spinning right now.

- When?
- Soon.

I have to talk
to the hospital first.

I still have a few surgeries
on my calendar.



For how long?

A month or two.

Maybe longer.

So are you leaving me?

It's only for a while.
If you want to be mad

at someone,
blame my boyfriend.

He introduced me
to a world of folks

who never hesitate
to rush into an emergency.

I think
some of that rubbed off.

You know I'm really in love
with you, right?

I had my suspicions.

Aired on: November 15, 2021.

Oh.

- Don't mess up. Don't mess up.
- Mm-mm.

Oh, you're nervous.

Oh.

- Uh... - Oh, no. Ooh.
- Be careful.

- Whoa, whoa. Don't be...
- Be careful.

- Oh, you're nervous. I see you shaking.
- Be careful.

- Oh!
- Dude! -

- What? You want to play like that, huh?
- Oh, my God.

Mm-hmm.

All right,
make room for some food.

Oh, my...

Double cheese and onion?

Harry special, right there.

Michael, quit loitering!

Come eat!

Uh...

Uh...

Hey, uh, you guys,

I have some news.

David is going to Haiti.

Haiti? Why?

Well, he knows some people there
that are doing relief work.

They need doctors.
He wants to help.

And he's leaving next week.

Well, how do you feel
about that?

I'm proud of him.

You know, sad for me.

But before he goes, uh...

I'm gonna propose.

Michael.

No, Athena,
it's not what you think.

What, that you want
to put a ring on it

because David's leaving
and you're scared?

No, it's just...

I've been thinking

about being without him
for the next few months,

and I realized that I don't want
to be without him ever.

You know, I want to be with him
for the rest of my life.

And I don't want him to leave
without knowing that.

Well, that's sweet.

I'm happy for you, Dad.

Oh. Thank you, honey.

So,

now I'm gonna have three dads.

Uh, eh,

something like that.

Father's Day is gonna suck.

- This guy.
- But...

I like David, so...

you can marry him.

You know, I felt like he was
already part of the family.

Right?

- So, what, you want my blessing?
- Uh, you know,

it would be nice.

But I am going to propose
either way.

You know, Bobby and the kids

already said yes,

so you're outvoted.

Well, you know, you're lucky
that I'm happy for you.

- Mm.
- So, congratulations.

Thank you.

So how
are you going to propose?

"Shining Star"
by Earth, Wind & Fire playing...

- Mm-hmm.
- Well, um...

He doesn't know.

I have never been
more unsure

about something
in my life.

♪ Yeah, hey... ♪

If you don't see
exactly what you're looking for,

we also do custom.

This is crazy.

You made a phone call,

and now there's somebody
at the house

with a box full of jewelry.

It's like it's The Bachelor.

Well, this is L.A.

You know, I can have groceries,
a car and a pizza

all delivered
in under two hours.

Though picking one
might take some time.

What are you gonna wear?

No.

Hell no.

Wait a minute.
Are you proposing

or applying for a bank loan?

I'm picking him up after work.

I wanted to take him
to a fancy place for dinner,

but all of my nice clothes
are pre-pandemic.

Just listen to your gut.
What would David like?

♪ So very dear, yeah... ♪

This one is kind of nice.

- Ooh.
- David hates diamonds.

And how do you
even know that?

We were watching TV one time,
and a jewelry commercial

came on...
The two months' salary one.

And he called it a racket.

If my wallet had lips,
it would kiss you.

Have you thought about
where you want to get married?

Like a church
or a destination wedding?

- Hawaii's not that far.
- Okay, don't tell me

I need to start thinking
about your wedding,

because I'm not ready for that.

I'm not sure
I want to get married.

But I need to be looking
for a dress, like, yesterday.

Yeah.

♪ Shining star come into view ♪

Th-There's other options.

♪ Shine its watchful light... ♪

- Yeah.. No.
- Mm.

Not bad.

Lose the tie.

But it's a nice tie.

But you'll thank me later

when he doesn't confuse you
for the maître d'.

You know what?
Can't I just propose

with a nice watch?

We can engrave
in less than two hours.

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.

He's going to say yes.

So calm down already.

Okay, okay.

All right, all right.
I-I love you.

- I love you, too.
- Okay.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

All right,
let's do this damn thing.

Uh...

Okay.

I am so...

blessed and privileged

to be able to spend

this life with you forever.

Oh!

The procedure
should take about two hours.

What if the anesthesia
doesn't work?

Or what if it works too well
and he doesn't wake up?

I've been looking
for a way to beat my insomnia.

Can you be serious for one
second? Maya, it's routine.

- It ain't brain surgery.
- Hey.

Well, it is brain surgery.

Darren.

Honey,

don't wait around here fretting.

Go to the movies.

You'll get to see
your chick flick,

and I'll get to have
my skull cut open.

- It's a win-win.
- Babe.

Sweetheart, it's gonna be fine.

Doc, can you tell her?

I know it sounds serious,
Mrs. Morgan,

but today's procedure
is routine.

For you. You're a brain surgeon.

We're gonna take good care
of him.

That's a promise.

Wait.

Here.

I'm gonna want that back
in a few hours.

Okay?

I love you.

I love you.

Hold the elevator!

Thank you.

You ready?

As I'll ever be.

All right, everyone.

Today is a very special day.

Rupert is
officially cancer-free.

So if you could please turn

your undivided attention
this way as he rings out.

Uh...

Hope you didn't expect
a big ol' speech or anything.

I know you all have places
to be, so...

let's get this over with.

Did you hear the bell?
What is that?

Sounds like a celebration.

Maybe there's cake.

Parker, wait. Floor up.

- Whoa!
- You all right?

Yeah, he's fine, he's fine.
So, so sorry about that.

- It's my fault. I-I didn't see it.
- You're fine, young man.

Just keep your eyes on the road
next time, all right?

Thank you. Come on,
let's go see your mom, yeah?

Hold the elevator, please!

You seem awfully quiet.

Thought you'd be happy to be
seeing the last of this place.

Guess I'm just naturally moody.

Well, we're all going
to really miss you.

You know, Callie,
um, I-I want to...

- Oh.
- Here you go.

What floor?

Four, please.

Sorry, Rupert,
what were you saying?

Um, uh...

Take care.

You, too.

Evening, everyone.

Dr. Hale,
patient is prepped and ready.

- Time out completed and documented.
- Thanks, Claire.

So did you tell Michael
about Haiti?

- How'd he take it?
- About as well as you did.

Okay. Let's get that patient's
camera up and running.

Parker, this is Sofia.

I don't know what to do
with a baby sister.

I mean...

- she's a girl.
- And you're her big brother.

All you have to do is love
and protect her.

Tumor is level 3.

Nothing we haven't seen before,
but let's take a moment.

Remember, we might feel
like gods, but we are not.

Let's have faith in science
and each other.

Dispatch to all units.

We have a major explosion
at Alvarado Union Hospital.

This is a multistory building

with fire involving
several floors and spreading.

Task Force 153, Task Force 305,

Task Force 118, please respond.

Hospital evacuation is
in progress.

Critical patients needing
immediate transport

to local area ICUs.

LAPD providing road closures
and traffic control.

Responding four more
task forces and rescues

as well as two additional
chief officers.

Mobile command and triage
center setting up ASAP.

Additional companies
will be to follow.

All right, everyone, listen up.

Ambulatory patients go
to parking lot A.

Triage patients go
to parking lot B.

Ambulance transfers go to lot C.

And please, stop calling 911.

Explosion was on
the fourth floor, Charlie side.

The sprinkler system lost
pressure in the concussion,

so evac is already in process.

Anybody who can walk
has already vacated.

The rest are gonna need
our help,

starting with the nursery.

Cap, there's 600 beds in there.

What are we gonna go do
with them?

- 911. What's your emergency?
- 911. What's your emergency?

911. What's your emergency?

All right.

L.A. County Medical Alert Center
has provided us a list

of surrounding hospitals

and available beds.
Let's keep updating capacity.

Unit 120 diverting patients
to L.A. County Hospital.

Unit 120, do not divert
to L.A. County Hospital.

ICU is now full.

But I've got a heart patient
that needs immediate attention.

Your nearest hospital is
going to be Mont Grove.

- Yeah.
- Sir, there is a fire.

No one can go into the hospital.

- But my sister's in there!
- All patients are being evacuated.

Evacuated to where?

Command center will have
updates about your sister.

Where's the command center,
out here in front?

Yes, the tents
in the parking lot.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, my ears are still ringing
from the explosion,

but I'm fine.
How do I get inside?

You don't.
You leave that to us.

But-but my boyfriend
is in there.

- We need a paramedic over here!
- Hey.

Please. Please. Hey, listen.

He's a surgeon.
His name is Dr. David Hale.

People are still
being evacuated.

You wait for him out here,
you let us do our job.

Okay.

Copy. I'll let him know.

- Dr. Hale?
- What do we know?

It was an explosion
in the maternity ward.

Fire has not been contained.

They're advising
we close immediately.

We're almost done here.

Maternity ward is on
the east end of the hospital.

Let's continue on until
someone tells us otherwise.

Let's hope they get
that fire under control.

Hey, you're okay,
you're okay.

- Good?
- Yeah.

All right, here comes
the first one.

It's okay, it's okay.

Here we go.

Let's go down there.

I know, I know.

How's it looking up there,
Buck?

Uh, smoke is starting
to breach the door, Cap.

Okay, let's double-time it,
guys.

We move quickly and carefully.

Hen, how are they all doing?

All healthy so far, Cap.

Running oxygen
for possible smoke inhalation.

Any available paramedics,

report to the fourth floor

east corridor
for evacuation assistance.

Copy that.
118 has two coming your way.

Hen, I want you
on the floor four, eastern side.

Ravi, go with her.

Help, help, help!

Sir, these paramedics are
gonna help you.

My kids. Where's my baby?

Okay, all the babies have been
evacuated from the nursery, sir.

No, no.

Our daughter wasn't
in the nursery.

She was with my son, Parker.

He's eight years old.

Sofia.

Shh, it's okay.

It's okay.

Hello? Hello?

Help! Anybody here?

- What's your name, sweetie?
- Parker.

And where are you right now,
Parker?

In the hospital.

My mom just had a baby.

Parker, are
you with the baby right now?

Yes. I-I lost my parents.

There was an explosion!
We're alone!

I woke up on the floor.

Parker, I want you to stay
very low to the ground, okay?

Can you describe where you are?

Do you see a room number?

It should be
right outside the door.

- Can you see it?
- Yes.

I see one. It's 318.

Room 318. Great, Parker.

You're doing fantastic, honey.

- Should we leave? Where should we go?
- No, no, no, no.

You stay right where you are.
I'm sending help to you.

Just keep close to the ground
for me, okay, honey?

You and the baby stay away
from the door.

Hey, I need you
on the third floor.

We got an eight-year-old boy,
Parker.

He's trapped up there
with his baby sister.

I thought
that floor was cleared.

Well, they must've missed him
in all the chaos.

He dialed 911
from a patient's room, 318.

Back up the ladder.

No, fire was
right outside the nursery.

Stairs.

Dispatch,
my guys are on the way.

Copy, 118.

- How many more up there?
- Hard to tell.

But there's a guy helping
dig people out of the rubble.

- One of ours?
- No, one of ours.

- A nurse?
- A patient.

LAFD! Anybody up here?

There's one more up there...
He won't leave.

LAFD. Sir!

LAFD. Sir, we got to get you
out of here.

I'm fine. Help me move this.

Oh, my God.

- No pulse.
- It's not Callie.

- Sir, the hospital's been evacuated.
- No, no.

There's-there's still
someone here who needs help.

- Callie!
- Hold up. No, no, sir?

You need to go now
and let us do our job.

It's not safe in here. Sir!

- It's Rupert.
- Okay, Rupert,

we appreciate your help,
but you must leave.

I'm not leaving without Callie.

Listen to me, it's too dangerous
in here, okay?

I'm not asking you!
I am telling you.

I survived stage-four cancer.

I can survive this.

- Ravi.
- I'll get him.

Sir, please wait.

Yes.

Dr. Hale, the fire
has breached the fire door

and is entering
the oncology ward.

All nonessentials evacuate now.

I'm staying with this patient.

Then so are we.

All right.

I want all oxygen and anesthesia

to this room
shut off immediately.

Start bagging.

Parker, honey, you doing okay?

You -

Parker?

I put the towels under the door,
but the smoke's still coming in.

Is there water in the room?

A bottle or-or a pitcher?

- Yeah, a pitcher.
- Great.

Pour it on the towel
you placed under the door, okay?

And soak it really well,
okay, baby?

Let me know when you're done.

Done.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Come on, come on.

Unit 118,
this is Dispatcher Collins.

We've lost connection
with a minor caller

in room 318.

Line is dead.

Copy that, Dispatch.
We're almost there.

This is us.

Damn, it's bad up here.

Heading that way,

but this floor is
fully involved.

I told him to take shelter
in the room,

shut the door and seal it
with a towel. Room 318.

We can't go any further
without a hose line.

Guess these will have to do.

Aah, too hot!
The flames are too high!

Firefighter Buckley,
Firefighter Diaz,

are you there?

Do you copy?

Firefighter Diaz, do you copy?

Did you make it to room 318?

There is no 318.

It's gone.

Fire took it.

Copy.

I think you need to take five.

- I'm fine.
- No, just take it anyway.

911. What's your emergency?

Michael!

Michael!

Athena!

How did you...?

May called me.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine!

It's David... he's the one still
inside the burning building.

LAFD is calling for a mandatory
evac... we've got about

five minutes before they come in
here and drag us out themselves.

That won't be necessary.
Almost done.

Margins are clear.

He's hemorrhaging.

- Blood pressure's dropping.
- Everything's dropping.

I have to stop the bleeding.

Approaching stroke territory.

Okay, you all need to leave now.
I mean it. Go now.

With all due respect, Doctor,
we leave when you leave.

What do we say?
Faith in science.

And each other.

Hen, over here! Come on!

- Is she alive?
- Callie? Callie?

Thank God.

Ravi, get a tourniquet
on that leg.

Callie, your pulse is strong.

Did anything hit y-your neck
or-or your head?

- Don't think so.
- Okay.

Give me some fingers and toes.

Okay, good, good, good.
That's very good.

I'm gonna get this collar
on your neck,

bandage your wound and get you
the hell out of here, okay?

So glad we found you, Callie.

When that explosion went off...

Can't believe you're here.

You're not a patient anymore.

Yeah, well,
I got used to this place.

I'm not leaving just yet.

Get her out of here.

Get out!

Rupert?

You okay?

This kid,
he was eight years old.

And his sister?

I know.

What are we supposed
to do with that?

We put it away
and we save the next one.

Parker.

They said they were coming
to get me and my sister.

Parker, I need you to stay
with me on the phone, okay?

Firefighter Diaz,
this is Dispatcher Bates.

- Do you copy?
- Go ahead, Dispatch.

- Did you get into room 318?
- Negative.

318 was lost to the fire.

Well, the little boy
just called me back.

Uh, hold on, he-he's alive?

- Where is he?
- He's still saying 318.

Is it possible
you were at the wrong room?

No, but I think he was.

Is there an 81E in the hospital?

Yes. On the fifth floor.

He was reading,
he was reading a reflection!

Let's go!

They're on five.

Once you get past the elevators,

they're the third room
on the left.

Copy that. Almost there!

74! 76!

- 75!
- Let's go! Keep going, keep going!

This is 82!

Hey, there we go...
That's 318 backwards.

LAFD! Anyone in there?

Fire department!

Baby's alive.

His pulse is stable,
but he's out.

Must've been the smoke.

There you go. It's okay.

I got you.

Let's go! Let's go! Come on!

Dispatch,
this is Firefighter Diaz.

Got both kids alive.

Evacuating now.
Let's go, let's go!

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Not now.

You don't need to be in here.

Well, I just thought you might
like to know the kids are okay.

The little boy Parker
and his baby sister.

They found them.

- What?
- The little boy.

He gave you
the wrong room number.

What-what do you...?

How is that possible?

He called back.

He saw the numbers
in a reflection in the hall.

You figured that out?

A firefighter did
when I radioed him.

So I guess you could say
this was a group effort.

You were part of that, too.

Oh.

Okay.

Okay.

Take all the time you need.

- Okay.
- I'll be here.

Yeah, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, thank...

I need as much help over here
as possible.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Make your way over here!
Let's go!

Athena.

Anything?

No.

Nothing.

Bobby!

Um, excuse me.

Where's David?

Have you seen him? I-I think
he's in one of the ORs.

Well, he should've been
evacuated by now.

What's he still doing in there?

He was in the middle of surgery

- when the explosion happened.
- He didn't come out.

I think he's still in there.

You got to find him, Bobby.

I will see what I can do.

He can't die on me.

He is not gonna die.

He's lost 250 cc's and counting.

Let's have blood on standby.

- On it.
- There's the aneurysm.

It's already ruptured.

I need a clip
to stop the bleeding.

Generator failure.
We are on battery backup.

Start a timer.
We've got 20 minutes.

Internal bleeding,
compact fracture.

She lost a lot of blood,
but her vitals are good.

What about him?

Broken neck. No signs of life.

Hey.

You okay?

I was supposed to save him.

Not the other way around.

You did everything
you could, Ravi.

I don't see how you do this.

I have faith in Bobby.

And so should you.

- David.
- I can't now, Bobby.

We need to evacuate now.

If I walk out of this room,
this man dies,

and I can't let that happen.

I promised his wife.

And I promised your husband.

Michael's not my husband.

Well, he wants to be.

He's standing
outside this hospital

right now
with a ring in his pocket...

Or maybe a watch, I'm not sure...

Waiting to propose.

- I have to finish.
- I'll give you ten minutes.

I need 12.

I will do my best.

All available units, respond
to OR Five for defend in place.

I repeat, all available units,

respond to OR Five
for defend in place.

Cap needs us. Let's go! Come on!

- Unit 153 responding.
- Copy.

162 en route.

243 responding

to defend in place.

All right, I want a unit
on each floor.

We've got to stay ahead of this thing.
Now go, go, go, go!

Two more floors. Let's go.

We're gonna give them
12 minutes.

Excuse me, Miss,
are you going to be okay?

My husband was in surgery,

and I haven't seen him yet.

Can we pray with you?

Okay.

- Yes.
- Oh, my God.

Over there.

Callie?

How are you feeling?

Where's Rupert?

He didn't make it.

And I'm not so sure
we would have, either, without him.

I found this on him.

I can't read it.

Would you?

Sure.

"Dear Callie...

All my life, I've been
one of the unlucky ones."

Glass half full because

that's simply all life had
to offer me.

So when I got cancer,
I thought, "Of course."

Just another small pour
from life to me

as we clinked our glasses
for one final goodbye.

But when you came
into that chemo room

with a smile on your face,

you changed my perspective.

Taught me that I could
pour myself a tall glass

and stay a little while longer
if I fought like hell.

And we did.

I beat it.

We beat it.

Together.

I am eternally grateful for you

and your faith in me
the last three years.

I pray to God I will not see you
inside this hospital again,

but I sure do hope to see you

on the other side.
Take care, my dear.

And thank you.

Rupert.

I get why he did
what he did.

Rupert?

I spent practically my entire
childhood in hospitals.

Those doctors and nurses
become your family.

I didn't know that.

It's not exactly fun party talk.

It was chemo on the weekends
instead of soccer tournaments.

But those people
cheered me on just the same.

They saved my life.

So I get why he ran back
into the building.

To pay it forward.

I guess
that's why you do it, too.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

Better.

Thanks for earlier.

Not sure I really did anything.

My number one rule:

No crying at work.

Least I didn't do it
on the floor.

Sorry you had to see that.

Don't know
what you're talking about.

I didn't see anything.

- Oh, let's see the bling.
- Ooh!

- Nice.
- It's amazing.

All right, everybody.

As it turns out, I have
one more announcement to make.

Go for it, Dad.

Okay, as you know,

David is going to use
his incredible gifts

to help those in need in Haiti.

- All right.
- Mm, aw. -

- Yeah, that's so wonderful.
- And, uh,

I've decided to go with him.

You know, I-I can't save lives,

but I can help rebuild one.

Dad.

Now, Harry has already given me
his approval,

and I hope that you would, too.

That's amazing.

I'm really proud of you.

Oh.

I learned from watching you.

All of you, really.

You know, with, uh,
my brain tumor

and then the pandemic
and-and then my job,

you know, at times,
I-I really felt a...

Felt a little lost.

But last night,

I watched people come together

and save someone
that they didn't even know.

More than one.

And I said to myself,

"I can do that, too."

Aw.
