9-1-1 (2018–…): Season 6, Episode 7 - Episode #6.7 - full transcript
Thank you.
I thought it would never arrive.
Came a long way.
Hey, you didn't tell me
that you had a new stalker.
A stalker?
I haven't had one
of those since '05.
Maybe the good luck charm's
already working its magic.
Maybe.
What are you doing?
Aren't we livestreaming?
You teased an unboxing
the other day.
Oh, no, no, no.
I look horrible.
Besides, I can't wait.
We'll, um...
we'll re-pack it and do it
tomorrow in full glam.
Look at those eyes. So fiery.
I can already feel it working.
The gods of...
- Where is this from again?
- Pompeii.
It was used in
cleansing rituals.
Right. The gods of
Pompeii are smiling on me.
Wait, didn't everybody
die in Pompeii?
Yes, but that survived.
Uh, here, check it
out. It even has
a certificate of authenticity.
Hm, it's a piece of history.
Huh. Well,
I bought it. I guess it's
"herstory" now.
Thank God you're here.
Dispatch reported somebody
got hit by a chandelier?
Uh, the cables must have
snapped or something.
I-I don't know what happened.
I-I tried moving it, but it
was so heavy and there was...
there was so much blood.
- Is she conscious?
- Yes. She-she won't shut up.
Help!
- Alexis, you left me.
- To bring help!
Just please get this
thing off of me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Try
not to move, okay?
We're gonna get
you out of there.
All right, let's get a backboard
- and gurney in here.
- Yeah, Cap, this thing's
penetrated the
floor pretty deep.
We're gonna have to cut
it apart, piece by piece.
Buck, you're with me.
Let's get saws and
Nomex blankets.
No sign of penetrating trauma.
- Can you tell us your name?
- I-It's Felisa.
Felisa Valdez?
You know me.
Oh, yeah.
Hey. Nice to meet you.
I would give you an
autograph, but... Ah...
I can't...
Um, i-is the bracelet okay?
I'm more worried
about these cuts.
Well, I could worry
about both. I spent
20 grand on this thing.
Supposed to be my lucky charm,
but I don't know
if it's working.
Okay, try to take a
deep breath for us.
- Can you tell us -where you feel pain?
- Um...
I don't... I don't
feel anything.
Th-That's a good thing,
right? Or is that bad?
One time, I was in a movie,
and my character couldn't
feel anything because
she was cut in half.
When Time Stops.
I saw that one.
And, uh, don't worry,
all your limbs
are accounted for.
Just try to stay calm
while we figure out
what's going on with you.
- Eddie, how's the head looking up there?
- Small laceration on occiput.
Applying pressure to
stop the bleeding.
She's bleeding from her occiput?
The back of her head.
Even the smallest cuts
tend to bleed a lot.
What he means to say is
it's not a huge
cause for concern.
Oh.
All right. That's a good sign.
Looks like somebody felt that.
I mean, you're tickling
my feet. How could I not?
Uh, what about this?
A-Am I supposed to
be feeling something?
Cap, reflex
of the left leg could be
a potential spinal injury.
Is s-something wrong?
She's not paralyzed, right?
That would severely impact
her future revenue stream.
- Paralyzed?
- Maybe that's not
the thing we're trying
to focus on right now.
All right, Chim, I want
you to contact the ER.
Buck, let's start to
saw it away from her.
Carefully.
Hi.
This'll keep you safe
from the sparks, okay?
- Uh, o-okay.
- There you go.
On three. One, two, three.
All right, Felisa,
how you feeling?
Um, my left leg is tingling.
Wait, that's a good thing,
right? That means I can feel.
It's very good,
yeah, it's probably
a pinched nerve or
maybe a spinal bruise.
Thank God. See?
The bracelet's working,
just like I said it would.
Once I get this IV set,
I'm gonna give you some Toradol.
So, you say this thing's
a good luck charm.
Why do you need it? Seems
like you have a good life.
Uh,
she's had a run
of really bad luck
- for almost a decade.
- Um, it's called a curse.
Curse?
So, you spent 20K
- on a bracelet?
- Alexis is
constantly looking for things
to turn my luck around.
Let me guess...
Nothing ever works?
Don't mind Eddie.
He's unnaturally resistant
to anything supernatural.
Prove to me something is
real, I'll believe in it.
I feel you're confused at
the definition of belief.
I mean, a chandelier fell on me.
Doesn't that sound like a curse?
Eh, might've just
been a freak accident.
- Is there a difference?
- Only in Eddie's head.
- I'll get you checked in.
- Okay.
Dimitri's coming tomorrow
to deal with the chandelier
- and the floors.
- Ugh.
God only knows how
much that's gonna cost.
Do you think the gods of
Pompeii will give me a refund?
Stop being negative.
The bracelet can't help
if you won't let it.
Okay, they're gonna take you in
for some scans.
Good luck, Felisa.
Thank you.
Hey, you thinking
what I'm thinking?
That we should hit
that barbecue joint
- around the corner? Yes.
- No, no, no.
Something's up with those two.
Felisa and what's
her face? What?
Oh, is this about the curse?
Curses aren't real.
Oh, here we go again.
All this food, and
that's all you're having?
Uh, yeah. It's,
um... it's delicious.
How did "the age of absolutely"
turn into alfalfa smoothies?
Buck spends
one minute with a celebrity,
now he's drinking like them.
Which celebrity?
Felisa Valdez.
Oh, really? Mm.
You don't sound
like much of a fan.
What's the last
thing you saw her in?
In the back of my patrol car.
Yeah, she tried to hit
a paparazzi with her car
and went to rehab.
I can't say I missed her.
Who says they don't miss me?
Not anyone here.
- So, how's Karen?
- Great.
I think she was
more excited for me
to get back to work than I was.
Somehow, she says that I hover.
What...
Athena, what are you doing here?
Oh, I wouldn't miss
your first day back.
And Bobby here went all-out
for your welcome-back breakfast.
So, who's done with
their first round?
I'm ready for my second round,
and it's about to get ugly.
Yeah, I guess I'll, uh,
grab some seconds, too.
Yum.
What's with the,
uh, green juice?
I don't know.
Oh.
Heard you're on a health kick?
Uh, yeah.
Can't a guy try to
take care of himself?
Buck,
your idea of healthy
is a side salad.
When did puréed greens
become a whole main meal?
Uh, well, since
I agreed to be
Connor and Kameron's
sperm donor.
So, you're really doing it?
I'm really doing it.
And-and I figure, if I am,
I... I should do it right.
You know, set them up with
the best chance for success.
Ah, hence
- the green juice.
- Ah, not just green juice.
I'm abstaining from everything.
Right? No alcohol,
no junk food, red meat,
fish that could be
too high in mercury.
Mm, not sure swordfish has an
effect on your sperm count.
No, I'm abstaining from
other things to help with that.
You know, I'm, uh, trying
to keep the tank full,
not let... swimmers escape.
So, you haven't...
Nope.
Not even once?
Uh-uh.
For how long?
Longer than expected.
I'm sorry, Mr. Buckley.
It doesn't look
like they sent over
your direct recipient
authorization forms.
Are you sure? They-they said
they e-mailed it to
you this morning.
Our servers are down.
Uh, can you come
back another day?
We're here from 8:00 to 8:00.
Pat will take your blood
so we can do our screening.
You don't have any issues
with needles, do you?
Uh, no, all good.
Uh, is-is... is Pat okay?
Whoa! Uh, hey, call
911. Go, go, go, go.
Okay.
Four weeks?
S-S... Shh, shh.
And you don't think that
maybe that's a hint that
- you shouldn't be doing this?
- Listen, it's
a run of bad luck, but
it turns around tomorrow.
I have my appointment
set. I go in,
I make my donation,
it's taken care of.
So, four weeks of abstinence?
- Four weeks.
- How's that been?
It's, uh, starting to feel like
a whole other kind of emergency.
Hey, can you box up some CBD oil
for my client in room four?
Use my discount.
I think she's had a rough week.
Mm-hmm, okay.
You know what?
Throw in some sleep gummies.
Can't hurt.
It's Willow. Can I come in?
A what?
I don't know what happened.
I only left the
room for a minute,
and when I came back in,
I found her like this.
Whoa!
What's her name?
- Felisa.
- What? No way.
This is her. It's
her bracelet.
Felisa, this is
firefighter Diaz.
We met at, yeah, at your house.
Heart rate's elevated.
Felisa, panicking is only
gonna make things worse.
I need you to stay relaxed.
You're in good hands, I promise.
- We need to make an airway now.
- Pass me the scalpel.
It's coming up. Scalpel.
Try to stay calm, Felisa.
Hold on, hold on.
- Is that...
- The wax. It made its way
into her throat. Oral airway.
Few more seconds, Felisa.
- All right.
- Almost there, almost there.
O2 mask going on.
Checking airway.
Clear.
So, she's okay?
She's breathing.
All right, so now what
do we do with the wax?
Looks like the
warmer was only set
for 104 degrees.
Okay, so probably not major
burns, since it's
already started to cool.
I say we leave it and let
the hospital remove it.
Okay.
So, the wax stays on just
for a little while longer.
Hang in there.
Oh, my God, Felisa!
What-what happened?
Fuzzy on the details.
- Is she gonna be okay?
- She will be,
- as soon as we get her to the hospital.
- Okay, I'm-I'm riding with her.
You've been here
this whole time?
I am her assistant. I go
everywhere with Felisa.
Yes. I-I am so
sorry. I understand.
- It's a lot to go through.
- Oh, uh, hey. Sorry, excuse me.
Um, I'm-I'm here for my
donation appointment.
Sorry. Building's lost power.
We'll have to reschedule.
Uh, okay, h-how long
is it gonna be out?
- I can wait.
- No idea.
Um, sorry, not you.
Sounds like they might
take the rest of the day.
I'm sorry. I know
you've had a run of
bad luck with us.
Maybe I can-I can
come back tomorrow.
- Yes, that's perfect.
- Great. What time?
I'm sorry, not you. Uh,
first available is...
a week from Tuesday.
Does that work?
Uh, yeah. Sure.
Guess it's gonna have to.
So, the bracelet was
supposed to change her luck?
Feel like maybe it made
the bad luck more...
apocalyptic.
- Oh, no.
- What?
That's that damn bracelet.
Do you think it heard
me trash talking it?
I don't think it has ears.
Must have fallen off going
to the ER. What should we do?
Give her her bracelet back.
- Whoa!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Just to be on the safe side.
Right.
First rule of a curse,
they spread like a virus.
You two are being ridiculous.
- Aah!
- Whoa!
- Hey.
- I told you.
- You okay?
- It's spreading. - It's not.
What is that?
Gasoline.
Evacuate the firehouse now.
- Definitely spreading!
- Definitely spreading.
You think she's taking
advantage of her?
Felisa said Alexis convinced
her to buy that bracelet.
Supposed to be some
artifact from Pompeii.
This?
My mother has costume
jewelry that looks better.
Probably cost her less, too.
That thing set
Felisa back 20 grand.
$20,000 for that?
Didn't seem like it
was the first thing
that Alexis had
convinced her to buy.
You sound pretty sure of that.
When my abuelo died,
my abuela had a hard time.
You know, he'd passed suddenly,
so they never had a
chance to say goodbye.
She felt really bad about that.
Went to visit her
on a summer break,
and there was this... woman.
Curandera.
She was at the house
at least once a week.
Lighting velas, saying prayers,
promised my abuela that
she'd be able to speak
to a husband she'd lost.
Mm, and she never did.
No. She never stopped trying.
She also never stopped paying.
Savings, life insurance.
Every penny she had.
My pops and Tía Pepa
had to bail her out.
She almost lost her house.
And that's why you
don't believe in curses.
I understand believing in
something bigger than yourself,
but if there's a higher
power out there, I...
I don't think they're
making chandeliers fall
or fuel connectors
on gas pumps break.
The best grifters
know how to play on
people's desperation.
The more desperate a person is,
the easier it
becomes to fool them.
Can I help you with something?
Are any of these
specifically for good luck?
What kind of luck?
Lucky in love?
Finances? Job opportunities?
All of it. Consider me
a vibrational catastrophe.
Let's start with some green jade
and maybe some citrine.
I have a couple of beautiful
pieces in the back.
Let me grab them for you.
Thank you,
Okay. I talked to the
hospital administrator
and they are going to do
a top-to-bottom search
to find out what happened
to your bracelet.
Why bother?
Pretty sure I was more
cursed wearing that thing
than I was before.
Maybe that will
cleanse my energy.
Amethyst?
I don't think that's for luck.
Hey, maybe we shouldn't
purchase any more decor items
that could double as weapons.
It's for protection.
- Hey, do you see a ladder anywhere?
- No!
Don't even think about it.
I will go find someone.
Just, please, wait.
Alexis?
Oh, my God.
What happened?
I heard screaming.
What's going on?
Is that one of my crystals?
- Call 911.
- Oh...
Hurry!
911. What's your emergency?
Uh, we're at Crystal's
New Age on Ventura.
There's been some
kind of an accident.
What kind of an accident?
I don't know what happened,
but we need an ambulance
- right away.
- Okay, ma'am.
We'll get you an ambulance.
Do you feel...
It's... weird.
Dispatch said they were in
contact with the caller.
Looks like they're
all unconscious.
I see at least four down.
They're breathing
but not responsive.
Buck, did you get that
gas turned off yet?
Uh, Cap, there's
nothing to shut off.
There's no gas line
to this building.
Then what caused this?
I think I have an idea.
Felisa Valdez.
Again?
Okay, let's get everyone
out of here. Everyone out.
Cap, I think you
should see this.
How deep is it?
Could be a potential
stomach puncture.
What in the world happened here?
Easy. Easy. You're okay.
Try to take some
breaths. That's it.
- Did I pass out?
- Not just you.
Everybody in that
store passed out.
Wait...
- Wait, where's Alexis?
- Still in the store,
but we're gonna
get her out soon.
Do you know what
happened to her?
No, um...
She went and talked to
the manager, and then...
Chim, need you inside now.
Copy that, Cap.
Backboard coming in.
She was stabbed with the
crystal in the conservatory.
Or the new age shop.
No way you fall on this
thing and end up like this.
Still doesn't explain why
everyone else passed out.
- Wait.
- What are you doing?
Calling for a consult.
Oh!
That poor girl. I can't
even look at that.
Uh, well, I-I really
need you to. Okay?
I-I have to know what
kind of crystal that is
and if it's toxic.
I wouldn't carry anything toxic.
Ma'am, please just
look at the photo.
Marcasite?
It's basically iron sulfide.
Which, when combined
with stomach acid...
Creates hydrogen sulfide,
which would make
everyone pass out.
Captain Nash, 118.
Please alert Trauma One
we are bringing
in a young female.
Possible impalement
to the stomach.
Injury is likely producing
hydrogen sulfide.
Please advise.
Alexis!
Can I go in there?
Listen, I think there's
something you need
to know about Alexis.
Sh-She's gonna be okay, right?
Please, you-you have
to take care of her.
She's all I have.
It's not safe for you to
travel in that ambulance.
But you can see her later,
after you get checked out.
Let's load her up, guys.
So you still don't
think she's cursed?
No, but I'm starting
to think I am.
I don't need her attorney.
I just want to talk
to Felisa privately.
No, I'm not a fa...
I'm with the Los
Angeles Fire Dep...
So, her manager's a dead end.
I thought you were
calling her agent.
I tried him first. He
said he'd call back.
I dated an agent once.
They never call back.
Hey, guys, what...
What is that thing
still doing here?
Okay, take it easy.
Eddie is trying to
reach out to Felisa
to give it back to her.
Yeah?
Well, try harder.
What?
I can see those
beady little eyes
looking right through me.
Listen, I'm-I'm
starting to think maybe
Eddie has a point here.
The accident at
the crystal shop...
Bracelet wasn't even there.
Hey, Buck, you got to...
What is that thing
still doing here?
Okay, we're not having
this conversation again.
What-what is it you
want to say to Buck?
Well, Connor and his wife,
they're here to see him.
Connor, your ex-roommate?
What does he want?
- Uh...
- How would I know?
Nothing. Uh, excuse me.
Uh, I don't know.
Can we please do
something about this
before something else happens?
Like, maybe the oven blows?
Or the bathroom backs up for
the third time this week.
- Thanks again, Diaz.
- Hmm?
Catch!
Uh, uh, hey, is-is
everything okay?
That's what we wanted to know.
We got this very
cryptic voicemail
that you didn't make
your appointment
at the fertility clinic.
Uh, right. No, there...
Yeah, the-there was
a, uh, a power outage.
And we tried to call you
but you didn't pick up.
Maybe I left it
in my car. It...
it was-it was
charging. It's, uh...
I know we asked a
really big favor of you.
Probably too big.
And it's-it's okay if
you're having doubts.
- No, guys...
- You understand, if you changed your mind,
- we understand.
- We just can't really handle the not knowing
what's going on because,
you know, we keep imagining
- the worst.
- And after everything we've already been through,
- honestly, it really means a lot...
- Guy-Guys, hey, hey, stop.
Listen to me. I haven't
changed my mind.
Okay? I w-I want
to do this for you.
I promise, I will
be your sperm donor.
It's just been tough
to find an appointment
with the clinic's
hours, my schedule here.
No one... no one really
knows I'm doing this for you.
- I don't think that's true.
- Uh...
Anymore.
And I want the tops of
- all those vehicles cleaned.
- Oh, that's where I left my turnout.
All of 'em cleaned.
- After this call.
- Yeah, uh... Thank God.
I am so sorry.
We're so sorry about
the misunderstanding.
Oh, I hope we didn't make
this awkward for you.
No, uh, don't
worry, I can handle
whatever they have to say.
Every-Everything. I got to go.
Uh, thanks, Buck.
So, why...
Did you...
Okay, guys, this is
Buck's personal business,
so I think we should let it go.
- You knew!
- How long have you known?
More importantly, how long
you been holding out on us?
Oh, looks like we're here.
Let's go fight fires, guys!
Stupid bracelet curse.
Hey, thanks for meeting me here.
- You said you found something?
- Yeah.
I went to check out
the crystal shop.
- It was weird as hell.
- Yeah.
Five people in the
store, one gets stabbed,
four others pass out and
no one sees anything?
No, there were six
people at the shop.
I checked the security camera.
Any idea who this guy is?
Well, the hat obscures his
face, but it turn out that
that is not the first time
that this guy has
shown up on the scene
of one of Felisa's accidents.
- That's the spa.
- Mm-hmm.
And that's the same guy,
running out the shop
right before the 911 call.
You think he's
working with Alexis.
He's causing the accidents
so Alexis can, what...
Cash in how?
The bracelet that Felisa
said cost her 20,000...
Alexis bought online for 11.
That's one hell of a markup.
I need to talk to Felisa.
So I was thinking,
after all of this,
we need a vacation.
You know, like a girls
trip. How does that sound?
Firefighter Diaz.
What are you doing here?
Just Eddie. We had a drop-off
and I, um, want to
give this back to you.
Can't believe I thought that
was gonna change my luck.
She almost died because of me.
I don't think that's true.
This doesn't prove anything.
Alexis would never do
anything to hurt me. I mean,
come on, you've met her.
You know that she
wouldn't do that.
I know you feel like she's
the only one you can count on.
Yeah, because she is.
Okay? Everyone else is gone.
Dead, disappeared, or...
simply doesn't want to
talk to me ever again.
She's all I have.
What about your family?
My parents got a
divorce when I was 16.
Got pretty nasty, so I
filed for emancipation.
Last day I spoke to them
was the day the judge
declared me legally an adult.
I don't know why you think
Alexis would do this to me.
She paid $11,000
for that bracelet.
What'd she charge you again?
All you guys have
are two grainy videos
of two guys in hats.
- It's just a coincidence.
- You know, you may be right.
But if it isn't, that
man is still out there
and you could be in danger.
I can take care of myself.
Think we're wrong here?
You know what I believe
in even less than a curse?
Coincidence.
Thank you.
Of course.
I can take care of myself.
I can take care of myself.
Yes.
Okay.
Whoa, there, buddy. Back off.
Okay. It's okay, Felisa.
Don't let Eddie and that
cop get into your head.
You're just being paranoid.
Or not.
911.
- What's your emergency?
- I'm driving in my car
and I think somebody's
following me.
- What's your name?
- Felisa Valdez.
I'm in a blue Vero Starfire
on Riverside Drive.
Why do you think someone
might be following you?
Because this police officer
came to see me and she said
that I might be in danger
and I didn't believe her.
Why didn't I believe her?
Okay, Felisa, I'm
gonna route you
to the nearest police station.
Do you see the name
of a cross street?
I'm just hitting Laurel Canyon,
just about to pass Colfax.
All units in the vicinity
of Riverside and Colfax
be advised, possible
unwanted pursuit in progress.
Vehicle is a blue Vero Starfire.
Victim's name is Felisa Valdez.
Oh, hell, no.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
I'm on my way.
No!
Don't move.
Detain this man.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
The victim's car
has been covered...
in asphalt.
I need fire and rescue
at Riverside...
near the equestrian center.
Oh, God.
Felisa, hang on!
Help! Help!
- I'm in here!
- Help is coming.
I can't breathe!
Felisa, help is here.
I couldn't get to her.
And this asphalt is hardening.
It's Felisa Valdez.
We have any kind
of status on her?
She was talking to Dispatch,
but these fumes
are pretty brutal.
Okay, let's get all the air
bottles we've got on standby.
Eddie, Buck, I want you guys
to get some rubbish hooks
into this asphalt. How
much longer do you think
she has in there, Hen, Chim?
Adrenaline is probably causing
her heart rate to rise,
which means she's taking
in more oxygen every...
every minute. We need to
buy her some more time,
get some air in there.
Okay, we can work with this.
Felisa, open the back
panel and get in the trunk.
Hen, O2.
- Any progress?
- No.
Hardly making a dent.
Think I have a better idea.
Felisa, we're sending
you some air. Okay?
If you can, reach back.
You may be able to grab it.
I can't.
Just try for me.
Move a little closer.
It's too... it's too far.
- You got her? - EDDIE: Yeah.
- Get that gurney
- in here.
- Let's go.
Easy.
Steady.
Here we go.
- How is she?
- Lucky to be alive.
Who's that?
Oh, he chased her.
Looks a lot like the man
from the security camera
from the crystal
shop and the spa.
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to harm anyone.
You mean it wasn't a curse?
Again, sorry.
Can you tell me where
the bracelet is?
- Ow!
- Oh...
Get in.
Look at that.
I think you broke your curse.
Explain.
She clicked the box.
Excuse me?
On the site, there's
a little box:
"terms and conditions."
She checked "I accept."
She should have known
this would happen.
I'm gonna need a
little more here.
Why don't you start
with your name.
Nico Perelli.
- That sounds made up.
- It is not.
Nicholas Perelli
owns and operates
He makes trinkets
in China that look
like ancient artifacts.
And he sells them to
unsuspecting collectors.
Why was he so desperate
to get the bracelet back?
I mean, a celebrity
bought one of his pieces.
You'd think that he'd
welcome the publicity.
Well, with publicity comes
scrutiny from people like me.
Nico wasn't telling
his customers that
they were buying forgeries.
Anyways, we are so
excited to show you guys,
so please stay tuned
for the unboxing,
and peace and blessings.
So, when Felisa
started talking about
how she was gonna do
a live unboxing...
he panicked.
How many other
bracelets were recovered
from the ruins of Pompeii?
- Twenty-seven.
- Those guys
figure how much they
paid for a fake,
they're coming for him,
and that's all she wrote.
Why is it never
"that's all he wrote"?
I don't make the rules, Hen.
Anyway, so Nico had to
get it back before the unboxing.
Yeah, he was hoping
to intercept it
before it was
delivered, but Alexis
was already outside waiting.
So he started following Felisa
looking for his next chance.
When the aesthetician left,
he snuck in to
steal the bracelet.
But, needless to say,
things didn't go as planned.
Why didn't Nico grab the
bracelet then, when Felisa
was incapacitated?
Willow? Is that you?
Because she was also screaming.
Loudly. If anyone
saw him running out
with the bracelet,
he'd have been arrested before
he could make it to LAX.
And the bracelet ends up
in an LAPD evidence locker.
And it's a celebrity
robbery, so, news at 11:00.
So the crystal shop was his
third attempt at getting it back.
Well, if at first
you don't succeed,
try, try again.
- Give me the bracelet.
- Excuse me?
The bracelet. Where is it?
You were across the
street at Felisa's.
What do you care
about the bracelet?
I care that you bought
it for a celebrity
and posted it all
over social media.
Wait, you're here from that
website, Artifact Overstock?
Yes. And I know you
have the bracelet,
- now, hand it...
- No, no...
Get off me, you filth!
Aah!
Nico almost
disfigures one woman,
stabs another...
no turning back.
At this point, he's all in.
Time for one
last desperate attempt.
I'm starting to
think this Nico guy's
the one who's actually cursed.
- No more talking curses, Buck.
- Either way, he can't
terrorize Felisa
or us ever again.
Right. And on that happy
note, shift's over.
Let's go and get some real food.
I can't. I have a
donation to make.
- Oh, what kind of donation is that?
- Well, uh...
You don't want to know.
Really?
Well,
you accounted for everything.
- Almost.
- Mm.
The chandelier.
Alexis said that Nico
was outside at the time,
so there's no way he could
have been responsible for that.
The chandelier was
probably installed poorly.
Yeah. And then it just fell
as she put on an
artifact that supposedly
came from the ruins of Pompeii.
Could it be that maybe
what we're looking at
is a good, old-fashioned
coincidence
at work here, Sergeant?
Can we agree to call it
a freak accident?
Yeah, I'm on my way
to the clinic now.
They said as long as
I get there by 9:00
they'll squeeze me in.
It's 8:45.
Think you're gonna
make it in time?
Trust me, it's all good.
I'm only two miles away.
Thanks, Buck.
Oh.
Uh...
Damn it, come on.
Come on.
Coming through,
excuse me, excuse me!
Uh, sorry.
Watch out, watch out!
Excuse me!
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry.
Hey, hey!
8:57, I made it.
I made it, right?
- Are you okay? Do you need a minute?
- No,
I don't-I don't need a
minute, I just, uh...
Sorry, I just, I-I
would really rather
do this now, like,
with, like... right now.
Okay.
Yeah?
- Oh, thank you.
- Right this way.
Hey, Eddie.
Hey.
I didn't think you were
actually gonna show.
You know, I wasn't going to,
but I figured you
did save my life,
like, multiple times, so...
- Take a seat.
- So...
figured I owed you.
So, how's Alexis?
They're releasing her tomorrow.
She's gonna come stay with me.
Did you talk to her
about the money?
I don't care about that.
- But she's stealing from you.
- Maybe she's earned it.
I mean, you know who I am.
So I'm sure you've heard the
stories of who I used to be.
You know, the trouble
I'd get in, and...
the DUIs, the arrests.
The friends who
OD'd in my bathroom.
That kind of loss...
I mean, I don't know what
else you'd call it but curse.
My wife died, uh, it
was three years ago.
Six months later,
my son was on a pier
when the tsunami hit.
Oh, my God. I am so sorry.
He survived. That's
actually him right there.
- Christopher! Hey.
- Yeah?
He almost died in this ocean.
Poor kid.
Must have been terrifying.
Yeah, it was.
He was scared for a
long time. We both were.
Well, you wouldn't know it now.
The day the beach
reopened, we came here.
I mean, the longer we
stayed away from the water,
the more the fear would grow.
I never wanted the ocean to have
that kind of power over him.
You know, sometimes it's easier
to believe that you're cursed
than believe you're wrong.
Felisa.
I'm gonna get going.
I'm getting the house blessed
before Alexis gets home.
I know, I know, it
sounds silly, but...
Hey, if it works for you.
Take care of yourself, okay?
You too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, did you see that?
I'll go next time.
Hola, Abuela. ¿Como estas?
No, everything's
fine. I was just
thinking of you.
Wanted to know how you were.
Oh, yeah? Tarot
cards? That's new.
So, what'd she have to
say about my future?
I thought it would never arrive.
Came a long way.
Hey, you didn't tell me
that you had a new stalker.
A stalker?
I haven't had one
of those since '05.
Maybe the good luck charm's
already working its magic.
Maybe.
What are you doing?
Aren't we livestreaming?
You teased an unboxing
the other day.
Oh, no, no, no.
I look horrible.
Besides, I can't wait.
We'll, um...
we'll re-pack it and do it
tomorrow in full glam.
Look at those eyes. So fiery.
I can already feel it working.
The gods of...
- Where is this from again?
- Pompeii.
It was used in
cleansing rituals.
Right. The gods of
Pompeii are smiling on me.
Wait, didn't everybody
die in Pompeii?
Yes, but that survived.
Uh, here, check it
out. It even has
a certificate of authenticity.
Hm, it's a piece of history.
Huh. Well,
I bought it. I guess it's
"herstory" now.
Thank God you're here.
Dispatch reported somebody
got hit by a chandelier?
Uh, the cables must have
snapped or something.
I-I don't know what happened.
I-I tried moving it, but it
was so heavy and there was...
there was so much blood.
- Is she conscious?
- Yes. She-she won't shut up.
Help!
- Alexis, you left me.
- To bring help!
Just please get this
thing off of me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Try
not to move, okay?
We're gonna get
you out of there.
All right, let's get a backboard
- and gurney in here.
- Yeah, Cap, this thing's
penetrated the
floor pretty deep.
We're gonna have to cut
it apart, piece by piece.
Buck, you're with me.
Let's get saws and
Nomex blankets.
No sign of penetrating trauma.
- Can you tell us your name?
- I-It's Felisa.
Felisa Valdez?
You know me.
Oh, yeah.
Hey. Nice to meet you.
I would give you an
autograph, but... Ah...
I can't...
Um, i-is the bracelet okay?
I'm more worried
about these cuts.
Well, I could worry
about both. I spent
20 grand on this thing.
Supposed to be my lucky charm,
but I don't know
if it's working.
Okay, try to take a
deep breath for us.
- Can you tell us -where you feel pain?
- Um...
I don't... I don't
feel anything.
Th-That's a good thing,
right? Or is that bad?
One time, I was in a movie,
and my character couldn't
feel anything because
she was cut in half.
When Time Stops.
I saw that one.
And, uh, don't worry,
all your limbs
are accounted for.
Just try to stay calm
while we figure out
what's going on with you.
- Eddie, how's the head looking up there?
- Small laceration on occiput.
Applying pressure to
stop the bleeding.
She's bleeding from her occiput?
The back of her head.
Even the smallest cuts
tend to bleed a lot.
What he means to say is
it's not a huge
cause for concern.
Oh.
All right. That's a good sign.
Looks like somebody felt that.
I mean, you're tickling
my feet. How could I not?
Uh, what about this?
A-Am I supposed to
be feeling something?
Cap, reflex
of the left leg could be
a potential spinal injury.
Is s-something wrong?
She's not paralyzed, right?
That would severely impact
her future revenue stream.
- Paralyzed?
- Maybe that's not
the thing we're trying
to focus on right now.
All right, Chim, I want
you to contact the ER.
Buck, let's start to
saw it away from her.
Carefully.
Hi.
This'll keep you safe
from the sparks, okay?
- Uh, o-okay.
- There you go.
On three. One, two, three.
All right, Felisa,
how you feeling?
Um, my left leg is tingling.
Wait, that's a good thing,
right? That means I can feel.
It's very good,
yeah, it's probably
a pinched nerve or
maybe a spinal bruise.
Thank God. See?
The bracelet's working,
just like I said it would.
Once I get this IV set,
I'm gonna give you some Toradol.
So, you say this thing's
a good luck charm.
Why do you need it? Seems
like you have a good life.
Uh,
she's had a run
of really bad luck
- for almost a decade.
- Um, it's called a curse.
Curse?
So, you spent 20K
- on a bracelet?
- Alexis is
constantly looking for things
to turn my luck around.
Let me guess...
Nothing ever works?
Don't mind Eddie.
He's unnaturally resistant
to anything supernatural.
Prove to me something is
real, I'll believe in it.
I feel you're confused at
the definition of belief.
I mean, a chandelier fell on me.
Doesn't that sound like a curse?
Eh, might've just
been a freak accident.
- Is there a difference?
- Only in Eddie's head.
- I'll get you checked in.
- Okay.
Dimitri's coming tomorrow
to deal with the chandelier
- and the floors.
- Ugh.
God only knows how
much that's gonna cost.
Do you think the gods of
Pompeii will give me a refund?
Stop being negative.
The bracelet can't help
if you won't let it.
Okay, they're gonna take you in
for some scans.
Good luck, Felisa.
Thank you.
Hey, you thinking
what I'm thinking?
That we should hit
that barbecue joint
- around the corner? Yes.
- No, no, no.
Something's up with those two.
Felisa and what's
her face? What?
Oh, is this about the curse?
Curses aren't real.
Oh, here we go again.
All this food, and
that's all you're having?
Uh, yeah. It's,
um... it's delicious.
How did "the age of absolutely"
turn into alfalfa smoothies?
Buck spends
one minute with a celebrity,
now he's drinking like them.
Which celebrity?
Felisa Valdez.
Oh, really? Mm.
You don't sound
like much of a fan.
What's the last
thing you saw her in?
In the back of my patrol car.
Yeah, she tried to hit
a paparazzi with her car
and went to rehab.
I can't say I missed her.
Who says they don't miss me?
Not anyone here.
- So, how's Karen?
- Great.
I think she was
more excited for me
to get back to work than I was.
Somehow, she says that I hover.
What...
Athena, what are you doing here?
Oh, I wouldn't miss
your first day back.
And Bobby here went all-out
for your welcome-back breakfast.
So, who's done with
their first round?
I'm ready for my second round,
and it's about to get ugly.
Yeah, I guess I'll, uh,
grab some seconds, too.
Yum.
What's with the,
uh, green juice?
I don't know.
Oh.
Heard you're on a health kick?
Uh, yeah.
Can't a guy try to
take care of himself?
Buck,
your idea of healthy
is a side salad.
When did puréed greens
become a whole main meal?
Uh, well, since
I agreed to be
Connor and Kameron's
sperm donor.
So, you're really doing it?
I'm really doing it.
And-and I figure, if I am,
I... I should do it right.
You know, set them up with
the best chance for success.
Ah, hence
- the green juice.
- Ah, not just green juice.
I'm abstaining from everything.
Right? No alcohol,
no junk food, red meat,
fish that could be
too high in mercury.
Mm, not sure swordfish has an
effect on your sperm count.
No, I'm abstaining from
other things to help with that.
You know, I'm, uh, trying
to keep the tank full,
not let... swimmers escape.
So, you haven't...
Nope.
Not even once?
Uh-uh.
For how long?
Longer than expected.
I'm sorry, Mr. Buckley.
It doesn't look
like they sent over
your direct recipient
authorization forms.
Are you sure? They-they said
they e-mailed it to
you this morning.
Our servers are down.
Uh, can you come
back another day?
We're here from 8:00 to 8:00.
Pat will take your blood
so we can do our screening.
You don't have any issues
with needles, do you?
Uh, no, all good.
Uh, is-is... is Pat okay?
Whoa! Uh, hey, call
911. Go, go, go, go.
Okay.
Four weeks?
S-S... Shh, shh.
And you don't think that
maybe that's a hint that
- you shouldn't be doing this?
- Listen, it's
a run of bad luck, but
it turns around tomorrow.
I have my appointment
set. I go in,
I make my donation,
it's taken care of.
So, four weeks of abstinence?
- Four weeks.
- How's that been?
It's, uh, starting to feel like
a whole other kind of emergency.
Hey, can you box up some CBD oil
for my client in room four?
Use my discount.
I think she's had a rough week.
Mm-hmm, okay.
You know what?
Throw in some sleep gummies.
Can't hurt.
It's Willow. Can I come in?
A what?
I don't know what happened.
I only left the
room for a minute,
and when I came back in,
I found her like this.
Whoa!
What's her name?
- Felisa.
- What? No way.
This is her. It's
her bracelet.
Felisa, this is
firefighter Diaz.
We met at, yeah, at your house.
Heart rate's elevated.
Felisa, panicking is only
gonna make things worse.
I need you to stay relaxed.
You're in good hands, I promise.
- We need to make an airway now.
- Pass me the scalpel.
It's coming up. Scalpel.
Try to stay calm, Felisa.
Hold on, hold on.
- Is that...
- The wax. It made its way
into her throat. Oral airway.
Few more seconds, Felisa.
- All right.
- Almost there, almost there.
O2 mask going on.
Checking airway.
Clear.
So, she's okay?
She's breathing.
All right, so now what
do we do with the wax?
Looks like the
warmer was only set
for 104 degrees.
Okay, so probably not major
burns, since it's
already started to cool.
I say we leave it and let
the hospital remove it.
Okay.
So, the wax stays on just
for a little while longer.
Hang in there.
Oh, my God, Felisa!
What-what happened?
Fuzzy on the details.
- Is she gonna be okay?
- She will be,
- as soon as we get her to the hospital.
- Okay, I'm-I'm riding with her.
You've been here
this whole time?
I am her assistant. I go
everywhere with Felisa.
Yes. I-I am so
sorry. I understand.
- It's a lot to go through.
- Oh, uh, hey. Sorry, excuse me.
Um, I'm-I'm here for my
donation appointment.
Sorry. Building's lost power.
We'll have to reschedule.
Uh, okay, h-how long
is it gonna be out?
- I can wait.
- No idea.
Um, sorry, not you.
Sounds like they might
take the rest of the day.
I'm sorry. I know
you've had a run of
bad luck with us.
Maybe I can-I can
come back tomorrow.
- Yes, that's perfect.
- Great. What time?
I'm sorry, not you. Uh,
first available is...
a week from Tuesday.
Does that work?
Uh, yeah. Sure.
Guess it's gonna have to.
So, the bracelet was
supposed to change her luck?
Feel like maybe it made
the bad luck more...
apocalyptic.
- Oh, no.
- What?
That's that damn bracelet.
Do you think it heard
me trash talking it?
I don't think it has ears.
Must have fallen off going
to the ER. What should we do?
Give her her bracelet back.
- Whoa!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Just to be on the safe side.
Right.
First rule of a curse,
they spread like a virus.
You two are being ridiculous.
- Aah!
- Whoa!
- Hey.
- I told you.
- You okay?
- It's spreading. - It's not.
What is that?
Gasoline.
Evacuate the firehouse now.
- Definitely spreading!
- Definitely spreading.
You think she's taking
advantage of her?
Felisa said Alexis convinced
her to buy that bracelet.
Supposed to be some
artifact from Pompeii.
This?
My mother has costume
jewelry that looks better.
Probably cost her less, too.
That thing set
Felisa back 20 grand.
$20,000 for that?
Didn't seem like it
was the first thing
that Alexis had
convinced her to buy.
You sound pretty sure of that.
When my abuelo died,
my abuela had a hard time.
You know, he'd passed suddenly,
so they never had a
chance to say goodbye.
She felt really bad about that.
Went to visit her
on a summer break,
and there was this... woman.
Curandera.
She was at the house
at least once a week.
Lighting velas, saying prayers,
promised my abuela that
she'd be able to speak
to a husband she'd lost.
Mm, and she never did.
No. She never stopped trying.
She also never stopped paying.
Savings, life insurance.
Every penny she had.
My pops and Tía Pepa
had to bail her out.
She almost lost her house.
And that's why you
don't believe in curses.
I understand believing in
something bigger than yourself,
but if there's a higher
power out there, I...
I don't think they're
making chandeliers fall
or fuel connectors
on gas pumps break.
The best grifters
know how to play on
people's desperation.
The more desperate a person is,
the easier it
becomes to fool them.
Can I help you with something?
Are any of these
specifically for good luck?
What kind of luck?
Lucky in love?
Finances? Job opportunities?
All of it. Consider me
a vibrational catastrophe.
Let's start with some green jade
and maybe some citrine.
I have a couple of beautiful
pieces in the back.
Let me grab them for you.
Thank you,
Okay. I talked to the
hospital administrator
and they are going to do
a top-to-bottom search
to find out what happened
to your bracelet.
Why bother?
Pretty sure I was more
cursed wearing that thing
than I was before.
Maybe that will
cleanse my energy.
Amethyst?
I don't think that's for luck.
Hey, maybe we shouldn't
purchase any more decor items
that could double as weapons.
It's for protection.
- Hey, do you see a ladder anywhere?
- No!
Don't even think about it.
I will go find someone.
Just, please, wait.
Alexis?
Oh, my God.
What happened?
I heard screaming.
What's going on?
Is that one of my crystals?
- Call 911.
- Oh...
Hurry!
911. What's your emergency?
Uh, we're at Crystal's
New Age on Ventura.
There's been some
kind of an accident.
What kind of an accident?
I don't know what happened,
but we need an ambulance
- right away.
- Okay, ma'am.
We'll get you an ambulance.
Do you feel...
It's... weird.
Dispatch said they were in
contact with the caller.
Looks like they're
all unconscious.
I see at least four down.
They're breathing
but not responsive.
Buck, did you get that
gas turned off yet?
Uh, Cap, there's
nothing to shut off.
There's no gas line
to this building.
Then what caused this?
I think I have an idea.
Felisa Valdez.
Again?
Okay, let's get everyone
out of here. Everyone out.
Cap, I think you
should see this.
How deep is it?
Could be a potential
stomach puncture.
What in the world happened here?
Easy. Easy. You're okay.
Try to take some
breaths. That's it.
- Did I pass out?
- Not just you.
Everybody in that
store passed out.
Wait...
- Wait, where's Alexis?
- Still in the store,
but we're gonna
get her out soon.
Do you know what
happened to her?
No, um...
She went and talked to
the manager, and then...
Chim, need you inside now.
Copy that, Cap.
Backboard coming in.
She was stabbed with the
crystal in the conservatory.
Or the new age shop.
No way you fall on this
thing and end up like this.
Still doesn't explain why
everyone else passed out.
- Wait.
- What are you doing?
Calling for a consult.
Oh!
That poor girl. I can't
even look at that.
Uh, well, I-I really
need you to. Okay?
I-I have to know what
kind of crystal that is
and if it's toxic.
I wouldn't carry anything toxic.
Ma'am, please just
look at the photo.
Marcasite?
It's basically iron sulfide.
Which, when combined
with stomach acid...
Creates hydrogen sulfide,
which would make
everyone pass out.
Captain Nash, 118.
Please alert Trauma One
we are bringing
in a young female.
Possible impalement
to the stomach.
Injury is likely producing
hydrogen sulfide.
Please advise.
Alexis!
Can I go in there?
Listen, I think there's
something you need
to know about Alexis.
Sh-She's gonna be okay, right?
Please, you-you have
to take care of her.
She's all I have.
It's not safe for you to
travel in that ambulance.
But you can see her later,
after you get checked out.
Let's load her up, guys.
So you still don't
think she's cursed?
No, but I'm starting
to think I am.
I don't need her attorney.
I just want to talk
to Felisa privately.
No, I'm not a fa...
I'm with the Los
Angeles Fire Dep...
So, her manager's a dead end.
I thought you were
calling her agent.
I tried him first. He
said he'd call back.
I dated an agent once.
They never call back.
Hey, guys, what...
What is that thing
still doing here?
Okay, take it easy.
Eddie is trying to
reach out to Felisa
to give it back to her.
Yeah?
Well, try harder.
What?
I can see those
beady little eyes
looking right through me.
Listen, I'm-I'm
starting to think maybe
Eddie has a point here.
The accident at
the crystal shop...
Bracelet wasn't even there.
Hey, Buck, you got to...
What is that thing
still doing here?
Okay, we're not having
this conversation again.
What-what is it you
want to say to Buck?
Well, Connor and his wife,
they're here to see him.
Connor, your ex-roommate?
What does he want?
- Uh...
- How would I know?
Nothing. Uh, excuse me.
Uh, I don't know.
Can we please do
something about this
before something else happens?
Like, maybe the oven blows?
Or the bathroom backs up for
the third time this week.
- Thanks again, Diaz.
- Hmm?
Catch!
Uh, uh, hey, is-is
everything okay?
That's what we wanted to know.
We got this very
cryptic voicemail
that you didn't make
your appointment
at the fertility clinic.
Uh, right. No, there...
Yeah, the-there was
a, uh, a power outage.
And we tried to call you
but you didn't pick up.
Maybe I left it
in my car. It...
it was-it was
charging. It's, uh...
I know we asked a
really big favor of you.
Probably too big.
And it's-it's okay if
you're having doubts.
- No, guys...
- You understand, if you changed your mind,
- we understand.
- We just can't really handle the not knowing
what's going on because,
you know, we keep imagining
- the worst.
- And after everything we've already been through,
- honestly, it really means a lot...
- Guy-Guys, hey, hey, stop.
Listen to me. I haven't
changed my mind.
Okay? I w-I want
to do this for you.
I promise, I will
be your sperm donor.
It's just been tough
to find an appointment
with the clinic's
hours, my schedule here.
No one... no one really
knows I'm doing this for you.
- I don't think that's true.
- Uh...
Anymore.
And I want the tops of
- all those vehicles cleaned.
- Oh, that's where I left my turnout.
All of 'em cleaned.
- After this call.
- Yeah, uh... Thank God.
I am so sorry.
We're so sorry about
the misunderstanding.
Oh, I hope we didn't make
this awkward for you.
No, uh, don't
worry, I can handle
whatever they have to say.
Every-Everything. I got to go.
Uh, thanks, Buck.
So, why...
Did you...
Okay, guys, this is
Buck's personal business,
so I think we should let it go.
- You knew!
- How long have you known?
More importantly, how long
you been holding out on us?
Oh, looks like we're here.
Let's go fight fires, guys!
Stupid bracelet curse.
Hey, thanks for meeting me here.
- You said you found something?
- Yeah.
I went to check out
the crystal shop.
- It was weird as hell.
- Yeah.
Five people in the
store, one gets stabbed,
four others pass out and
no one sees anything?
No, there were six
people at the shop.
I checked the security camera.
Any idea who this guy is?
Well, the hat obscures his
face, but it turn out that
that is not the first time
that this guy has
shown up on the scene
of one of Felisa's accidents.
- That's the spa.
- Mm-hmm.
And that's the same guy,
running out the shop
right before the 911 call.
You think he's
working with Alexis.
He's causing the accidents
so Alexis can, what...
Cash in how?
The bracelet that Felisa
said cost her 20,000...
Alexis bought online for 11.
That's one hell of a markup.
I need to talk to Felisa.
So I was thinking,
after all of this,
we need a vacation.
You know, like a girls
trip. How does that sound?
Firefighter Diaz.
What are you doing here?
Just Eddie. We had a drop-off
and I, um, want to
give this back to you.
Can't believe I thought that
was gonna change my luck.
She almost died because of me.
I don't think that's true.
This doesn't prove anything.
Alexis would never do
anything to hurt me. I mean,
come on, you've met her.
You know that she
wouldn't do that.
I know you feel like she's
the only one you can count on.
Yeah, because she is.
Okay? Everyone else is gone.
Dead, disappeared, or...
simply doesn't want to
talk to me ever again.
She's all I have.
What about your family?
My parents got a
divorce when I was 16.
Got pretty nasty, so I
filed for emancipation.
Last day I spoke to them
was the day the judge
declared me legally an adult.
I don't know why you think
Alexis would do this to me.
She paid $11,000
for that bracelet.
What'd she charge you again?
All you guys have
are two grainy videos
of two guys in hats.
- It's just a coincidence.
- You know, you may be right.
But if it isn't, that
man is still out there
and you could be in danger.
I can take care of myself.
Think we're wrong here?
You know what I believe
in even less than a curse?
Coincidence.
Thank you.
Of course.
I can take care of myself.
I can take care of myself.
Yes.
Okay.
Whoa, there, buddy. Back off.
Okay. It's okay, Felisa.
Don't let Eddie and that
cop get into your head.
You're just being paranoid.
Or not.
911.
- What's your emergency?
- I'm driving in my car
and I think somebody's
following me.
- What's your name?
- Felisa Valdez.
I'm in a blue Vero Starfire
on Riverside Drive.
Why do you think someone
might be following you?
Because this police officer
came to see me and she said
that I might be in danger
and I didn't believe her.
Why didn't I believe her?
Okay, Felisa, I'm
gonna route you
to the nearest police station.
Do you see the name
of a cross street?
I'm just hitting Laurel Canyon,
just about to pass Colfax.
All units in the vicinity
of Riverside and Colfax
be advised, possible
unwanted pursuit in progress.
Vehicle is a blue Vero Starfire.
Victim's name is Felisa Valdez.
Oh, hell, no.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
I'm on my way.
No!
Don't move.
Detain this man.
Dispatch, this is 727-L-30.
The victim's car
has been covered...
in asphalt.
I need fire and rescue
at Riverside...
near the equestrian center.
Oh, God.
Felisa, hang on!
Help! Help!
- I'm in here!
- Help is coming.
I can't breathe!
Felisa, help is here.
I couldn't get to her.
And this asphalt is hardening.
It's Felisa Valdez.
We have any kind
of status on her?
She was talking to Dispatch,
but these fumes
are pretty brutal.
Okay, let's get all the air
bottles we've got on standby.
Eddie, Buck, I want you guys
to get some rubbish hooks
into this asphalt. How
much longer do you think
she has in there, Hen, Chim?
Adrenaline is probably causing
her heart rate to rise,
which means she's taking
in more oxygen every...
every minute. We need to
buy her some more time,
get some air in there.
Okay, we can work with this.
Felisa, open the back
panel and get in the trunk.
Hen, O2.
- Any progress?
- No.
Hardly making a dent.
Think I have a better idea.
Felisa, we're sending
you some air. Okay?
If you can, reach back.
You may be able to grab it.
I can't.
Just try for me.
Move a little closer.
It's too... it's too far.
- You got her? - EDDIE: Yeah.
- Get that gurney
- in here.
- Let's go.
Easy.
Steady.
Here we go.
- How is she?
- Lucky to be alive.
Who's that?
Oh, he chased her.
Looks a lot like the man
from the security camera
from the crystal
shop and the spa.
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to harm anyone.
You mean it wasn't a curse?
Again, sorry.
Can you tell me where
the bracelet is?
- Ow!
- Oh...
Get in.
Look at that.
I think you broke your curse.
Explain.
She clicked the box.
Excuse me?
On the site, there's
a little box:
"terms and conditions."
She checked "I accept."
She should have known
this would happen.
I'm gonna need a
little more here.
Why don't you start
with your name.
Nico Perelli.
- That sounds made up.
- It is not.
Nicholas Perelli
owns and operates
He makes trinkets
in China that look
like ancient artifacts.
And he sells them to
unsuspecting collectors.
Why was he so desperate
to get the bracelet back?
I mean, a celebrity
bought one of his pieces.
You'd think that he'd
welcome the publicity.
Well, with publicity comes
scrutiny from people like me.
Nico wasn't telling
his customers that
they were buying forgeries.
Anyways, we are so
excited to show you guys,
so please stay tuned
for the unboxing,
and peace and blessings.
So, when Felisa
started talking about
how she was gonna do
a live unboxing...
he panicked.
How many other
bracelets were recovered
from the ruins of Pompeii?
- Twenty-seven.
- Those guys
figure how much they
paid for a fake,
they're coming for him,
and that's all she wrote.
Why is it never
"that's all he wrote"?
I don't make the rules, Hen.
Anyway, so Nico had to
get it back before the unboxing.
Yeah, he was hoping
to intercept it
before it was
delivered, but Alexis
was already outside waiting.
So he started following Felisa
looking for his next chance.
When the aesthetician left,
he snuck in to
steal the bracelet.
But, needless to say,
things didn't go as planned.
Why didn't Nico grab the
bracelet then, when Felisa
was incapacitated?
Willow? Is that you?
Because she was also screaming.
Loudly. If anyone
saw him running out
with the bracelet,
he'd have been arrested before
he could make it to LAX.
And the bracelet ends up
in an LAPD evidence locker.
And it's a celebrity
robbery, so, news at 11:00.
So the crystal shop was his
third attempt at getting it back.
Well, if at first
you don't succeed,
try, try again.
- Give me the bracelet.
- Excuse me?
The bracelet. Where is it?
You were across the
street at Felisa's.
What do you care
about the bracelet?
I care that you bought
it for a celebrity
and posted it all
over social media.
Wait, you're here from that
website, Artifact Overstock?
Yes. And I know you
have the bracelet,
- now, hand it...
- No, no...
Get off me, you filth!
Aah!
Nico almost
disfigures one woman,
stabs another...
no turning back.
At this point, he's all in.
Time for one
last desperate attempt.
I'm starting to
think this Nico guy's
the one who's actually cursed.
- No more talking curses, Buck.
- Either way, he can't
terrorize Felisa
or us ever again.
Right. And on that happy
note, shift's over.
Let's go and get some real food.
I can't. I have a
donation to make.
- Oh, what kind of donation is that?
- Well, uh...
You don't want to know.
Really?
Well,
you accounted for everything.
- Almost.
- Mm.
The chandelier.
Alexis said that Nico
was outside at the time,
so there's no way he could
have been responsible for that.
The chandelier was
probably installed poorly.
Yeah. And then it just fell
as she put on an
artifact that supposedly
came from the ruins of Pompeii.
Could it be that maybe
what we're looking at
is a good, old-fashioned
coincidence
at work here, Sergeant?
Can we agree to call it
a freak accident?
Yeah, I'm on my way
to the clinic now.
They said as long as
I get there by 9:00
they'll squeeze me in.
It's 8:45.
Think you're gonna
make it in time?
Trust me, it's all good.
I'm only two miles away.
Thanks, Buck.
Oh.
Uh...
Damn it, come on.
Come on.
Coming through,
excuse me, excuse me!
Uh, sorry.
Watch out, watch out!
Excuse me!
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry.
Hey, hey!
8:57, I made it.
I made it, right?
- Are you okay? Do you need a minute?
- No,
I don't-I don't need a
minute, I just, uh...
Sorry, I just, I-I
would really rather
do this now, like,
with, like... right now.
Okay.
Yeah?
- Oh, thank you.
- Right this way.
Hey, Eddie.
Hey.
I didn't think you were
actually gonna show.
You know, I wasn't going to,
but I figured you
did save my life,
like, multiple times, so...
- Take a seat.
- So...
figured I owed you.
So, how's Alexis?
They're releasing her tomorrow.
She's gonna come stay with me.
Did you talk to her
about the money?
I don't care about that.
- But she's stealing from you.
- Maybe she's earned it.
I mean, you know who I am.
So I'm sure you've heard the
stories of who I used to be.
You know, the trouble
I'd get in, and...
the DUIs, the arrests.
The friends who
OD'd in my bathroom.
That kind of loss...
I mean, I don't know what
else you'd call it but curse.
My wife died, uh, it
was three years ago.
Six months later,
my son was on a pier
when the tsunami hit.
Oh, my God. I am so sorry.
He survived. That's
actually him right there.
- Christopher! Hey.
- Yeah?
He almost died in this ocean.
Poor kid.
Must have been terrifying.
Yeah, it was.
He was scared for a
long time. We both were.
Well, you wouldn't know it now.
The day the beach
reopened, we came here.
I mean, the longer we
stayed away from the water,
the more the fear would grow.
I never wanted the ocean to have
that kind of power over him.
You know, sometimes it's easier
to believe that you're cursed
than believe you're wrong.
Felisa.
I'm gonna get going.
I'm getting the house blessed
before Alexis gets home.
I know, I know, it
sounds silly, but...
Hey, if it works for you.
Take care of yourself, okay?
You too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, did you see that?
I'll go next time.
Hola, Abuela. ¿Como estas?
No, everything's
fine. I was just
thinking of you.
Wanted to know how you were.
Oh, yeah? Tarot
cards? That's new.
So, what'd she have to
say about my future?
