9-1-1 (2018–…): Season 6, Episode 2 - Crash & Learn - full transcript

Samuel!

Mama?

He's in a coma.

Medically induced.

It was significant,
and we want to give the brain

time to heal on its own.

How long will he be sedated?

At least 24 hours.

Run more tests,
then see where we are tomorrow.

And then we can take him home?

Mrs. Carter, your husband
suffered an ischemic stroke.



It's not only serious,
but the prognosis is uncertain.

Samuel's very strong.

I have no doubt,
but we don't know how he will

or will not respond
to the treatment.

We have to be prepared.

Do not t-take that tone
with me, young man.

I think what Dr. Pino is
saying is that right now we just need

- to be patient, that's all.
- That's correct.

I have to run these tests.
He won't even be in the room.

It's okay, Daddy, I'm here.

Hey, buddy, you know
there's a drought, right?

Hand watering is allowed
before 9:00

and after 4:00, Gary.

Benjamin,
don't you have work today?



Have you noticed anything weird

- around the garden?
- What are you talking about?

- It looks fine.
- The ground is softer here.

Maybe you're watering too much.

I swear, you care more
about those plants than me.

We're leveling the plants now?

This corner is
definitely sinking.

I think we have a penetration.

- You think we have a what?
- I think something's been tunneling underground.

Like what?

Something terrible.

Hi! Hi!

I-I thought you were
working late tonight.

Uh, there was a water main break
in Canoga Park.

So my last two appointments
canceled.

Oh, um...

I thought
we could grill tonight.

Okay. Sure.

Oh.

Gotcha.

Empty.

What set off the traps?

You're not watering today?

Someone said there's a drought.

Okay, ma'am,
can you tell me where?

Ma'am? Ma'am?

Benjamin, what the hell
are you doing?!

Finally getting rid
of the rodent.

Was that another explosion?

You're asking the wrong person.

Ma'am, did I just hear
another explosion?

- Ma'am?
- Yes.

It's my husband. He's trying
to destroy the backyard.

- Ma'am...
- Who are you - on the phone with?

- Ma'am, I need your address first.
- 911. They're sending help.

Hang up the phone,
Holly. Everything is fine.

You blew up the yard!

- Holly?
- Who is this?

This is the person who needs
your address right now.

Oh, thank God!

My husband tried to go
shock and awe on a gopher.

- I don't know if he's hurt or not.
- The gopher?

- No. Not the gopher.
- Holly, get them out of here.

Is that your husband?
He seems pretty banged up.

No, not him.

Hey, Cap?

Don't call me that.

Ma'am.

Exactly who do you think
is hurt here?

My neighbor.

Gary.

His house looks fine.

He wasn't over there.

Well, where was he?

He was under there.

A tunnel of lust?

We had no other choice.

My husband has
cameras everywhere.

All right, Chimney,
see if you can access

- the tunnel from inside.
- Copy that, Cap.

- Uh, sorry.
- Buck, start digging up out here.

Eddie, Benjamin looks
like he took a hit.

Check him out.
Find out what he knows.

Hey, Chimney, the homeowner
says it's underneath the carpet

- beneath the roll away shoe rack.
- I see it, copy that.

All right, sir,
checking for concussions.

- Sir, what year is it?
- It's the year my marriage ended.

Anybody hear me?

LAFD. Can you hear me?

Gary? What's this?

I got a hand!

Take it easy, Gary.

Just checking your vitals.

Hey, Cap, I found him.

He's conscious,
but his pulse is really low.

He's in one piece,
but I'm gonna need a hand

- getting him out of here.
- Buck?

I'm on it, Cap.

Hen, there's something else!

Gary's got nails
in his shoulder.

Shrapnel? Against gophers?

Yeah, the rodent had it coming.

Oh, my God, Gary! Are you okay?

- Are you okay?
- Step down.

You knew.

Didn't you?

I suspected.

I didn't know for sure
until she called 911.

Eddie, zip-tie his hands.

Wait. What?

Ow, what? No.
What are you talking about?

- Ow!
- Sir, you're under arrest.

Dispatch?

This is Captain 118.
We're gonna need

a black-and-white
at our current location.

Our backyard accident

seems to be an attempted murder.
We've apprehended a suspect.

How can you...?
How are you allowed to do this?

All LAFD personnel are sworn
peace officers.

It's been that way
for about 100 years?

See?

You've learned two things today.

Mama, the car's
still in the house.

Your father will deal
with it when he gets home.

Mama, you do realize
that Daddy is not coming home

- for a while.
- Don't be ridiculous.

He'll be fine.

I'll go get your room ready.

Would you rather
we stay in a hotel?

Maybe you should.

- Mama!
- Well, nobody asked you to invade my home.

I haven't pulled
that trundle bed out in years.

Maybe your big,
strong fireman can do it.

- Mama, I swear...
- It-It's okay.

It's okay. Beatrice,
we'll set ourselves up.

I do not know
what is in her head.

Well, her world did just
crash down around her.

Well, this does look worse
than I thought.

But I can get
the car out of there,

board up the windows.
We will need to contact

- a contractor...
- That we have.

Old family friend.

I think he's still
their handyman.

You think you can get
this car out of here

by yourself?

Big, strong fireman.

What are you reading, Buck?

Oh, it's, uh, it's Bobby's.

Oh, are you trying
to tell us something?

Um, no, he just, he told me

about this idea in AA.
I took it upon myself

to, you know,
dig a little deeper.

Hey, can...
can I ask you something?

Sure.

Are you at ease?

Do I look
like I'm at ease, Buck?

No, sorry, wrong question.
It's just in-in the book,

it says that if I'm at ease,

"all my fear will fall
away from me."

Well, let me know
how that works out.

Yes, sir,
I hear the sirens, too.

You're welcome.

What did we say about lurking,
Noah?

Sorry.

I just wanted to thank you.

For saving me, you know,
when I crashed and burned.

You didn't do
either of those things.

Today you learned
how the element of surprise

- can refocus a caller's attention.
- And if that doesn't work?

Try singing to them.

There was this guy who went off
Mulholland into the ravine.

And I had to sing a few bars

of the Thompson Twins'
"Hold Me Now."

It was playing on his radio,
and by hearing me sing it...

It got him to pay attention.

I wish I could listen
to more calls.

Didn't they give you samples
at the academy?

I already listened to all of
them. Also I'm pretty sure

they were as old
as the Thompson Twins.

Okay, uh...

If you want
some more recent calls,

just check out the active logs.

- Put in your ID number and...
- All the calls I could ever want.

Awesome.

I promise I won't play
the one of you singing.

No, no, go ahead. I nailed it.

Chamomile delivery.

Chimney, you're a godsend.

Hey, uh...

don't you have finals this week?

I thought you'd be
hitting the books.

Ah, later.

You would not believe
how much extra paperwork

arresting a guy generates.

I got to get through all of this
so that I can make

a 10:00 review class.

Did you just bring me some tea

or you were waiting
for me to spill some tea?

Uh...

the aforementioned finals,
they decide

- if you get into your third year, right?
- That is correct.

So why did you agree
to become captain?

- If you knew all of this was coming down the pike.
- Trust me.

I-I got this.

Okay. All right.

What's the difference
between labetalol and esmolol?

Labetalol is vasoconstricting.

Esmolol is vasodilating.

Other way around.

DSS emergency

regulation procedures.

Oh, glad you could join us.

No, whole wheat.

Good choice.

I think we should do something.

Get her a pillow.

Be still my heart.

What medication
is taken to prevent

- kidney transplant rejection?
- Cyclosporine.

And what side effect is often
experienced with Cyclosporine?

Gingival hyperplasia

can be caused by Cyclosporine A.
The enlargement can be made

worse by the accumulation
of plaque. Sir,

when's the last time

- you saw your dentist?
- I think he has

- more pressing issues, Hen.
- Right, but he should

- see a dentist.
- He should also

stop running with scissors.

Have you learned
nothing in school?

How you like me now?

Yeah!

All right, class, you have

55 minutes to complete the test.

Hey.

You're up early.

- Yeah...
- I didn't hear you come to bed last night.

W... Did you

come to bed last night?

I was pretty wired
when I got home.

Needed a little time
to decompress.

- You also need to sleep.
- Yeah.

What time is it?
I probably could get

a couple of hours before...

I die.

You're going in early?

Yeah, I'm behind on my 902m's.

You should not
have talked yourself

into the captain's chair.

It's only for a few more days.

Bobby will be back soon.

Okay.

Just... try to get
some sleep before then.

I promise.

Athena Carter.

Junior. You are not

the Franklin
that I was expecting.

Pop's mostly retired
at this point,

but you're in good hands.

Man taught me everything I know.

- It's all right.
- It's good to see you.

Oh, my g...
Oh, this is my husband,

- Bobby Nash.
- Nice to meet you.

Been too long, Athena.

When you left for California,
all of us were a little sad.

You were sad

because you lost
your favorite target.

This boy chased me

all through the orange groves.

Listen, I did what I could,
but the place

definitely needs
a professional touch.

Oh, more than a touch.

Yeah, we'll have to reframe
all of this.

Mm-hmm. We assumed that.

We were talking about
turning this into a ramp.

- Yeah.
- And then pulling these windows out and putting in

- double pane.
- Might as well update things since we at it.

Update what?

I like my house.

Mama,

we don't know what's
gonna happen with Daddy.

I mean, he might need to spend
some time at a rehab facility,

but, when he comes home,
we want him to have more space.

You're acting like
he's already dead.

No...

Talking about updating my house.

I'm just trying to give him
quality of life.

You want to sell it.

I'm not surprised.

You'll be glad when
you're rid of us and can go

back to your fancy life

- in California.
- Okay, Beatrice,

that's enough. Stop.

You're not doing this, not now.

- How dare you talk to me like that.
- I'm sorry.

I know you're in pain,
but so is your daughter,

and she's just trying
to keep things

from crashing down
on both of you.

You don't understand.

So why don't you just
take a second

and cool off.

Guess I'll go to my room,

like a child.

Sorry about that.

You should hear
me and Pops go at it.

They get set in their ways,
turn back into little kids.

We end up parenting our parents.

That is a lot of truth
coming from you, Junior.

Live and learn, Athena.

Live and learn.

Mm. Okay.

Welcome to
the Happiness Symposium.

I'm Frankie.
Please find your name.

And, uh, here's an itinerary
for day one.

- Sweet. Thank you. There you go.
- Ronald.

You guys usually travel
in a pack?

Or are you in a band?

Uh, we were in a band.

That's where we met.
Sixth grade.

Uh, trombone...

- Uh, trumpet.
- Baritone sax.

- Band buddies.
- Yeah.

All you guys are missing
is a drumline.

We left those at home.

Our wives.
They keep us on the beat.

Right.

Frankie? Frankie Hannah.

Go for Frankie.

We need more chairs
in the Desert Ballroom.

Copy that. I'm on my way.

Gentlemen, enjoy your day.

Be happy.

Thanks.

Here's one about the seven
keys to happiness.

You want to start with that one?

Sounds good to me.

Welcome to the WestPlex

Convention Center.

The International
Happiness Symposium

is officially open.

Please, come find
your key to happiness...

"Sponsored by Felicidades
Spirits and Liquor."

Yeah, well, maybe they'll
hand out free drinks.

I think they're
sponsoring the whole convention.

I swear to God,
if the key to happiness

is to drink more, I'm out.

God, would you stop?

You have done nothing but whine

since we landed at LAX.

Come on, a bunch of quacks
gonna teach us

the secret to happiness?

This is one of the dumbest ideas
you ever had.

Then why did you come?

- Because he made me.
- You gonna jump in here?

Look out!

Stay where you are.
Help is on the way.

Buck, Chim, you're with him.

Eddie, Julie, you get these two.

Let's get these people
to the treatment area.

Ronny, Angelo, I'm Eddie,
this is Julie.

Nice when the bodies are
already tagged, eh, Julie?

Oh, would you shut your trap,
Ange, for once?

Can you both feel your legs?

- More than I'd like.
- Where the hell is Lev?

Is he okay? Lev!

Kind of in the middle of something.

I guess under
the middle of something.

Vitals holding. Let's run
two lines on him, wide open.

I can't feel anything.

- Is that bad?
- Not necessarily.

Could be some swelling
that's causing the numbness.

Let me take a look.

Uh, hey, so you guys were
attending

the convention together?

Post-retirement boys' trip.

And here I thought everyone just
took up golf when they retired.

- Oh, do not say it.
- I told you so.

Oh, God, he says it.

Seems like you guys have
known each other for a while.

- Ever since sixth grade.
- That's nice.

That you guys have
stayed close this long.

I'd like to be less close
right now,

if you don't mind.

Can you move this thing?

All right. But it is gonna hurt.

All right, ready?

On three.

One, two, three.

Put it back!

What happened?

Your fibula's punctured
his thigh.

Hit a major artery.

Are we gonna be okay?

Yeah. They're in great hands,
and you're next.

Okay. Those two...

will kill each other without me.

Uh, Lev, hey, hey.

You, uh, you never told me why.

Why a happiness convention, huh?

Trying to figure out some stuff.

Thought maybe we'd find
an answer here.

You-you guys weren't happy?

You live your whole life,

doing everything
you're supposed to.

Marriage, kids.

Big house, nice cars.

Weekends at the shore.

Hey, that, uh, doesn't sound
too bad, right?

It wasn't.

It's just this 40-year blur.

Work and family.

Never enough time.

Until one day work stops,

and everything finally
comes into focus.

You're not sure what
you're looking at.

What was the point of...

any of it?

I'm here, sir.
Are you able to speak up?

- What's your name?
- Frankie. I'm trapped.

Do you know
your address, Frankie?

I'm at the WestPlex
Convention Center.

We've got a team
on scene, Frankie.

I think I'm too buried.

I was up top moving some chairs

when it all came crashing down.

Captain 118, we've got
another victim on scene.

His name is Frankie.
Says he's completely buried.

Dispatch, need help
finding a location.

He says he was moving some
chairs from the ballroom.

Frankie! Where are you hurt?

- Hard to breathe.
- Hang in there, Frankie.

- - We got him!
- Yeah!

We're coming to get you.

No distal pulse on Angelo.

Normally we travel you
with a foreign object,

- but in this case, the object is your friend.
- So what do we do?

Pull you apart very carefully.

Dispatch, the victim's showing
signs of a punctured lung.

We've already got two
complicated rescues in progress.

133 is already en route.

The 133 will be there
in 12 minutes.

I just, I don't have
enough hands

to get them both out right now,

and I need the hydraulic jack
for the kid.

Most likely, Lev has already
bled out internally,

and that slab of concrete's

acting as a clamp,
keeping him alive.

We lift it, most likely
he dies anyway.

Kid's got a better shot.

- Hey, Lev...
- Hey.

You ready to get this thing
off of me?

There's a kid buried over there.

I think he's got
a punctured lung.

I-I need to get him
out of there.

And you don't have enough guys.

You get that kid out.

I ain't going nowhere.

Go help the kid.

Buck.

Help me with this.

Are you guys clear?

I always thought it was Lev
that kept us together.

All right, pull him out.

All right, get
him on the backboard.

One, two, three.

- Clear?
- Ready, yeah.

Up.

Three, two, up.

We got him. We got him.

- They saved the kid?
- Yeah.

And you're next.
You're next, Lev.

It's okay.

I got what I came for.

I think I get it now.

Get him out. Get him out now!

- Chim, we need that jack.
- I'm on it.

Okay, moving it.

Come on, come on.

Hey, Lev! Come on!

Starting compressions!

Time of death...

16:43.

You want some company?

Mm. Sure.

There's an old orange grove
out there.

Out past the woods.

Where the bonfires happened

when we all hung out
in high school.

When I was a little girl,

Daddy and I would go out there

every Saturday morning,

grab oranges and tangerines

that had fallen from the trees.

Bring 'em home,
make fresh juice,

pour it over ice and sit,
right here.

I would sit on his lap.

He would tell me stories
about the family,

about all the great things
that the Carters had done.

Daddy was an attorney,

but his daddy had been one, too.

First Negro lawyer
to pass the Florida bar.

Even graduated from A&M
just like him.

And that's what made you
want to be a lawyer.

Oh, it did.

And when I left for California,

oh, he couldn't have
been prouder.

Told me to spread my wings,
do great things.

And what did Beatrice say?

"Do not drink that juice,
it has not been pasteurized."

Daddy was always the comfort.

Mama was the reality.

I'm not sure I'm ready
to lose the comfort.

You haven't lost him yet.

You know the worst part of
having to parent your parents?

It's knowing that you're
that much closer

to losing them.

Hey, uh, we're gonna grab
some breakfast.

A little grub might
hit the spot.

Uh, not for me. Not today.

Fair enough.

I gotta pass.

Copy that. Well-we'll be
at the diner on Alvarado

if you guys want to join us.

Hey, um, what...
What do you think he meant?

You know, he said,
"I get it now."

And his eyes got all bright,
and he looked up to the sky

like he'd just found happiness.

I was there, Buck.

It was like he solved this...

this great mystery,

and then he died
before he could share it.

Hey, losing someone
out there is never easy.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

To a design flaw.

I, uh, saw it
on the news last night.

The hotel put in that walkway
a couple years ago

and tried to sue the contractor
after they found some cracks

but the repairs just...

Fell through the same cracks.

It was bound to come
crashing down.

But not before Nathan Levinson
learned the secret, right?

Maybe that's what
we should focus on.

- He found it before he died.
- What, so he,

he spent his whole life
trying to figure it out,

and then he finally gets
the answer right at the end?

What, uh, what do you
think it is?

The secret to happiness.

I mean, Hen...

you-you always have the answers.

Some answers you gotta
find on your own, Buck.

Hello?

Hi, Dr. Simmons.
This is a surprise.

Good morning.

Hey.

You know, when I said
you had to let something go,

I didn't think it was
gonna be your son.

Oh, damn.

His robotics meet.

- Is Denny here?
- He called me

when he couldn't reach you.

Did he make it in time?

Yes.

Okay, that's good.

That's good...

Are you all right?

Hen.

I failed. I failed.

Failed at what?

Everything.

Everything. I failed...

- Oh, honey.
- At everything.

Okay. Okay, baby, it's okay.

Hey.

Beatrice. You need some help?

I don't think I can reach it.

There you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Beatrice... I want to apologize.

Never apologize for standing up
for my baby girl.

Taking care of her
is your job now.

Do it well.

Yes, ma'am.

- Hey.
- Mm.

What time is it?

It's almost 3:00.
You crashed hard.

In many ways.

It's not the end
of the world, Hen.

Karen, I failed neurology.

Dr. Simmons thinks that I should
repeat my second year.

I-I can't do this
for another year.

These past few weeks
almost killed me.

I-I know they were hard

but let's maybe ease up
on the hyperbole.

Wait. What am I missing?

The other night.
After my neurology exam.

I fell asleep behind the wheel.

You have to choose, Hen.

Doctor or paramedic.

You can't be both anymore.

Because this family
needs you too much.

"Dear Beatrice,

"I miss you.

"I miss home.

"I love you.

And I want to come home
to Florida."

Hey, Mama.

I came to give you a break.

I'm doing fine.

Well, why don't you take a walk?

Stretch your legs a bit.
I'll watch over him.

Why don't you come
and sit with me a bit?

- These are all from Daddy?
- Mm-hmm.

He used to write me
a letter every day.

When we were courting.

When he was in Vietnam.

Not one day in 57 years

that we didn't have
some kind of communication.

Some kind of connection.

Until now.

I know what
the doctors are scared about,

what you're afraid of.

If he wakes up, will he be able
to walk or feed himself?

Or will he even be himself?

I'm not sure I care about
any of that...

A-as long as...

You can hear his voice again.

Even just one more time.

My parents live here.
And I'm a cop.

Athena!

Athena, I've been
trying to call you.

I-I forgot my charger.
The phone died two hours ago.

What is going on?
Why are the police here?

I was helping Junior out.

We were digging
up the foundation...

And what?

Athena, we found a body.

Small, maybe a child.

Not sure how long
they've been down there.

Sir, can you
come here for a minute?

I just want to
show you something.

Did I ever tell you about

when I decided to become
an officer of the law?

I was nine years old.

Middle of the night,

I wake up and I see
my father getting dressed.

Grabbing a flashlight.

His gun.

I look out the window and I see

the whole neighborhood
out there.

A little girl, she was
a-a grade behind me at school,

had gone missing.

Someone had just snatched her
right out of her bed.

Wow, that's a nightmare.
Did they find her?

They found a barrette,
out of her hair.

Out in the woods.

But that was it.

She was just gone.

I promised myself
that when I was old enough

I was gonna become a policewoman

and find that little girl...

Tanya Kingston.
