[♪ ♪]

Welcome to San Francisco.
I'm Keith. Where to?

Hi.
East bay medical, and please hurry.

Hey, aren't you forgetting
something?

Oh, that's right, my luggage.

Thank you, sweetheart.
I can't believe I forgot this.

I meant me.

Booker, your granddaddy
just had a heart attack.

Stop makin' it about you
and get in the car.

I'm sorry to hear about
your grandpa's heart attack.



Oh, it was
just a mild one.

My uncle had
a mild heart attack.

He died
two days later.

Ooh, that's awful.

Tell me about it.
I was his doctor.

(Chuckles)
Why do you think I'm drivin' this cab?

Eyes, eyes
on the road, Keith.

Grandpa's gonna
be okay, mom.

I know.
He's at a good hospital, good doctors.

Hey, you don't need to be good
if you have malpractice insurance.

Keith, road!

Man... We haven't been
back here in so long.

I know.
My hometown.

So many memories.



Like that time I impersonated
a world-famous boy band.

(Gasps) Ooh, and then
there was that time

I almost got eaten
by a killer plant.

(Gasps)
Ooh, ooh, and then, that time that

I infiltrated a day spa
to meet a pop star

and accidentally kidnapped her dog.
(laughs)

Why do I get in trouble
for anything?

'Cause you get caught.

Here we are.
East Bay Medical Center.

Uhh, but the hospital's
up there.

Yeah, the judge
says I'm not allowed

within 500 feet
of the place.

Because of your uncle?

No, ex-wife.

- You wanna hear about it?
- Sure don't.

*RAVEN'S HOME

Yep! That's us.

This is just great.
We rush all the way

from Chicago
to San Francisco,

and no one's even
at the front desk.

Hello?!

Hellur?!

Hey, mom, uh,

can I get some money for
the vending machine?

Thought I told you to fill
up on airplane peanuts.

Well, I tried, but...

It turns out when peanuts
aren't covered in chocolate,

my mouth just...
won't swallow 'em.

I guess I gotta
find my dad myself.

(clears throat)

Woman: Excuse me.
Are you a nurse?

If I could find one,
I wouldn't be up here.

You know, if you ask me
all nurses of this place are...

Are heroes.

Mm-hm.

Listen, my name
is Raven Baxter.

I'm looking for my dad,
Victor Baxter.

Beet chips,
Kale chips.

Oh, hold up.
(chuckles)

I see you,
salt and vinegar.

(Beeping, whirring)

You got the last
salt and vinegars.

Yep... My favorite.

They were my mom's
favorite, too.

Were?

Here, you take these.

I'll, uh, I'll grab
somethin' else.

Thanks!

Sour cream and onion.
That's a solid rebound chip.

(Beep, whirring)

Those were my dad's favorites.

Thanks!

All right, dad is in room 512.

C'mon, Booker, let's go.

Alice, what are you doin'
here all by yourself?

- You know her?
- Hey, auntie Ray.

Hey, girl.

You know her?

Yes, that is
your cousin, Alice.

She's Betty Jane's
little girl.

She moved down here
with your grandpa,

so she can go to
a school for geniuses.

You said
your parents were dead.

No... I just told you
what their favorite chips

used to be.

- Oh, give me those.
- Auntie Ray, Booker stole my chips!

Booker!
What is wrong with you?

I raised you
better than that.

- No, you didn't.
- Gimme the chips.

Ooh, okay, I see you,
salt and vinegar.

[♪ ♪]

- (gasps) Dad!
- Grandpa!

Oh, hey, guys.

You got so big.

You better be
talkin' 'bout him.

- Grandpa, are you okay?
- I'm fine.

I can't believe you
scared me like this.

I can't believe it took
a heart attack for you

to come and visit me.

Hey, doc, is his
ticker healthy enough

for me to clap back?

I'd wait at least
two weeks.

I'm gonna put that
in the calendar.

We have one more test to run.
Then you can take him home.

- Should only be a few more hours.
- Thanks, doc.

Rae, can you take Alice home
and get her some dinner?

Oh, I'm, I'm not
goin' anywhere.

- Neither am I.
- I could eat.

What?
You guys had chips.

Alice, you've been here all day.
You need to go home.

Oh, I, I can
take Alice home.

You know, feed her,
give her some water,

take her for a walk.

You know I'm not
a dog, right?

Booker, you know
I love you, sweetheart,

but you can't cook
to save your life.

Ya burnt water, all right?

I wish Nia was here.

Hey, I can be just
as responsible as Nia.

(All laughing)

He got jokes.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Uh, Mr. B., they
ran out of ice pops,

so I got you this
tongue depressor

and a glass
of grape juice.

So you could pretend
you had an ice pop...

But it melted.

Ohh, thanks, Neil.

This is
my daughter, Raven.

Oh, wow!

It's so nice
to finally meet you.

This guy talks about
you all the time.

Yeah, I am
pretty great.

- I'm Booker.
- Oh, you're Nia's brother!

Hey, I heard she spent
the summer in Guatemala

building houses for the poor.

I mean, that is amazing.

Yeah, but I'm here,

and I'm about
to take Alice home

and get her
some dinner.

- Now who's amazing?
- I'd still say Nia.

Neil, can you take
them to the house?

He lives around
the corner from me.

Yeah, no problem.
I just gotta change outta my uniform.

All right.
Good to go.

[♪ ♪]

[♪ ♪]

And next door
to them is the Millers.

Their dog looks mean,
but it's nice.

And next door to them
is the rafelsons.

Their dog looks nice,
but it's mean.

And at the end
of the street is old lady Marsh.

She looks mean and...
She is mean.

I thought you asked
what grade he was in.

I thought so, too,
but... Now I'm not sure.

(Clanking)

(Softly): Did you guys
hear that?

(Clanking)

(Softly): There's someone
in the house.

(Clanking)

Hey, hey, Neil.
How 'bout you, um...

How 'bout you go
check that out?

Me?!
What about you?

I have to stay here
and protect Alice.

Or... I'll stay here
and protect Alice.

You can stay here
and protect each other.

I'll check it out.

- (Yells)
- (both yell)

Alice? Neil?

You scared me.

Um, who are you,

and what are you doin' clankin' around
my grandpa's house?

Grandpa?

Oh, you must be
Nia's brother.

You know what,
I'm not justNia's brother.

All right?
I'm Booker.

And despite what
everybody thinks...

I'm responsible.

He's kinda goin' through
somethin' right now.

I can see that.

I'm Ivy.
I live next door.

Pop-pop pays her
to help around the house.

Yeah, I wanted to pick
up around the kitchen

so he doesn't have to
when he gets home.

Well, thank you.

And thank you, Neil,
for walkin' us home,

but you both can go.

- I got this.
- Sweet.

I can go back to the hospital
and pick up a second shift.

Yeah, I do not get why you enjoy
volunteering so much.

You know what
they say,

"find a job that
doesn't pay you...

You'll never work
a day in your life."

You must
be starving.

I'll make your favorite,
noodle-roni.

Ivy, seriously, I got this.

I'll just stick around
to get the water boiling.

I know how
to boil water.

- Didn't your mom say you burned water?
- It was one time.

[♪ ♪]

A heart attack?

Really, dad?
How did this happen?

You always tell me
how you're working out.

You know?
And, and eating right.

(Rapid beeping)

You, you were doin'
those things, right?

- Yeah.
- (beeping faster)

Dad, were you not
taking care of yourself?!

Look, I've been really
busy at the restaurant,

and, and I have Alice,

and... I just
don't have the time.

But listen...

- I've joined a gym...
- Mm-hm.

And I'm gonna start goin'.

- (Rapid beeping)
- Okay.

I haven't joined a gym...
But I'm going to.

(rapid beeping)

Okay, fine.

Occasionally, I drive past the gym.
Ya happy?

Thanks for
rattin' me out.

Dad, you have to start taking
better care of yourself.

You're not as young
as you used to be.

Yeah, I know.

That thing is like
a lie detector test, isn't it?

Hey, dad.

Do you love me
more than my brother?

No, I love you both the same.

- (Rapid beeping)
- Oh, I knew it!

Okay, Mr. Baxter.
Time to take you for your test.

Yes, yes, please.
Get me outta here.

No, but I have so many
more questions, dad.

Like, like... hey, did my pet goldfish
really run away?

Dad, seriously,
answer me this question.

Did you quit
the white house

or did you get fired?

Dad, dad,

did you invent the afro?
Did you?

(laughs)
Did you?

(Whooshing)

I can't believe we lost him.

Oh no, oh no.
Dad's not gonna make it

out of that test alive.

[♪ ♪]

[♪ ♪]

You know there's no hamburger
in noodle-roni, right?

- Let me get the recipe.
- What?

I don't need
a recipe.

I am the grandson
of a world-class chef, all right?

I'm 'bout to freestyle
some Booker-roni.

Hey, real quick,

how cumin-y do you like
your Booker-roni?

Also, what is cumin?

Do you think
pop-pop's gonna be okay?

Of course.
Don't worry about it.

But I am worried.

- What if he...
- Alice, it's fine.

Hey, how 'bout you go upstairs
and put your PJs on?

Alice seemed pretty scared.

Yeah, we all are.

This thing's got
my mom so shook,

she won't even leave
my grandpa's side.

I think it's
really serious.

(Somber music plays)

Please, please,
I need to know where

you took my dad!

He's in exam room B,
authorized personnel only.

Okay, how do I get in there?

You do four years
of medical school.

Quit playin'.
I'm in a hurry.

Oh, you're in a hurry.

Well, nursing school
is only two years.

Lady, I am in no mood.

Exam rooms are for patients
and hospital personnel only.

But this is a matter
of life and death!

This is a hospital!
Everything's a matter of life and death.

Ehh... I said no.

Okay, I get it.
You're serious.

(Muttering) Aaaah!

How did you
get here so fast?

Oh. (Grunting)

Ahh! You fast.

You real fast.
What, you, uh, play ball in college?

Two years all-state

San Francisco nursing college.
Go catheters.

All right, I'm going.
I get it.

All right.

Hmm... Locker rooms?

(Upbeat music playing)

You know my grandpa was a chef
at the white house?

- What does he know that I don't know?
- How to cook.

Don't worry.
I made a backup.

Buttered noodles.
Thanks, Ivy.

I'll tell Alice
dinner's ready.

Needs some cumin.

Ivy: Booker, she's
not up here!

- What?!
- (phone ringing)

It's Neil.
Is Alice there?

I can't find her anywhere.
She's gone!

Aww, that's too bad.

I wanted to tell her
that a girl just walked

into the hospital

who looks exactly like her.

That is Alice!

Oh, in that case,
I'll just tell her myself.

Neil, please don't
let my mom see her.

If she finds out
Alice wandered off,

she'll think
I'm irresponsible.

- You are.
- Yeah, but I don't

want her thinking that.

I'm on my way.

Look, I gotta get
to the hospital.

- How do I get to the hospital?
- Let's go.

[♪ ♪]

Um, excuse me, doctor.
Hello, fellow, fellow doctor.

Hi, how are you?

Sorry, I can't stay and chat,
but I'm doing some doctoring

of my own
in exam room b,

which is...
Thank you.

Yeah, I just needed
a second opinion.

Doctor. Doctor?
Thank goodness!

We have a massive
pimple that's ready to blow.

Okay.

- Come!
- No! Stop it! No, I don't want to!

(Disgusted yell)

That was the biggest
zit I've ever seen.

Oh, that's nasty.

Okay, now
I gotta find dad.

(Gasps)
Exam room b!

Okay.

Hey, dad!
Hey...

There we are!

Hey, Raven.

They gave me drowsy
to make me medicine.

Don't worry, dad.
I'm gonna get you outta here.

You're a doctor now?
How long have I been asleep?

Booker? Booker, what
are you doin' here,

and who is
watchin' Alice?

Uh, mom, why are you
dressed like a doctor,

and what are you doin'
with grandpa Vic?

Ehh, I'm the mama.
I ask the questions.

Now, where is Alice?

- Okay, fine. She's...
- Uh, right there.

She's right there...
Where I knew she was the whole time.

- Now, what are you doin'?
- Okay, so I had a v...

Hey, little girl I don't know.

This is a family
conversation, so...

Thank you so much.

Listen, I had a vision

that something bad was
gonna happen to my dad,

- so I'm busting him out of here.
- Are you sure?

I am absolutely sure.

Trust me, I saw it
clear as day.

The doctor said,
"oh no, we lost him,"

so there is no way
I am losin' my dad.

Aw, snap!
I lost my dad!

[♪ ♪]

- I gotta go find my dad.
- Okay, I'm comin' with you.

No, no, no, Booker.

You stay here
and take care of Alice.

I-Ivy can do it.
She watches Alice all the time.

Nice to meet you.

I charge 15 an hour,
double for family hijinks.

This definitely feels
like family hijinks.

Thanks, Ivy.
You are being so helpful.

- I mean...
- Booker, your mouth is costin' me money.

Let's go!

Okay, dad's gotta
be here somewhere.

You check this side,
and I'll check this side.

- (Man shouting)
- Sorry!

- Sorry!

(Both shouting)

- That was...
- I don't wanna talk about it.

(Gasps)
There's dad!

Hey, dad, come on.
Oh, we got ya.

Don't worry,
you're safe now.

There you go.
There it is.

Quick, hide!

Wait a minute.
Why am I hidin'?

I'm dressed
like a doctor.

Yeah, but I'm not.

Wait, I know.
I'll tell 'em I'm one of those

kid doctors like on TV.

Nobody believe that.

You know what?
That kind of negative

reinforcement is

exactly what's gonna
stop me from pursuing

a career in medicine.

You sure it's not
that c in biology?

That's cold, mom.

Okay.
Come on, dad. Let's go.

(Grunts) right here.
There we are.

Nurse: What do you think
you're doin'?!

The other way,
the other way!

- Mom, we're not gonna fit!
- Somebody stop them!

Ah, hop on!

(Both yelling)

- (Yelling)
- Mom, stairs!

(Yelling)

- Ah!
- (yelling)

(Yelling continues)

- (Booker screaming)
- Booker, Booker, it's okay.

You can stop screaming.

Really? Really?
Because it feels like

I need to keep screaming!

(Gasps) Oh, dad!
Dad, you're okay!

- Course, I'm okay.
- I was so scared.

Oh, sweetheart,
it was just a test. I'm fine.

Mr. Anderson,
there you are!

We've been looking
all over for you.

I can't believe
we lost him.

Ohh...

Lost him.

- That was the him.
- Raven, what're you up to?

(High-pitched gibberish)

There she is!

One day!
You've been here one day

and you already have
hospital security comin' after us.

- That's so Raven.
- I know, I know! That's me, c'mon!

But we gotta go!
C'mon!

[♪ ♪]

I'll be honest...

That Booker-roni
looked like dog puke,

but you made
a pretty good pb&j.

Yeah...

Spreadin' stuff on bread
is, uh, kinda my sweet spot.

Sorry I ran away.

I was just worried
about pop-pop,

and you guys wouldn't
tell me anything.

Well, we didn't
wanna scare you.

I'm not some dumb kid.

I was the one
who found him and called 911.

It must've been
really scary.

It was.

Well... You were
really brave.

And thanks to you,
grandpa's gonna be okay.

Hey, where'd
my chips go?

Salt and vinegar...
My favorite.

Hey, Rae.
Thanks for your help.

It's been nice having you
here these last few days.

Yeah.

I miss this place.

You sure you don't
need me to stay?

I'm fine.

Okay, then please take
care of yourself, dad.

- You gotta eat better. You gotta exercise.
- I know, I know

all the stuff
the doctor told me.

Okay.

Just the thought of
you not being in my life

had me actin' crazy.

Hey, don't put that on me.
You always been crazy.

(laughs)
You right, you right.

- (Car honks)
- Oh, cab's here!

Booker, time to go.
Alice, take care of ya pop-pop.

Dad, I love you.

I love you, too.

And don't worry.
I'll take care of myself. I promise.

- Hm.

Love you.

And, uh, hug
your sister for me.

Ew, gross.

[♪ ♪]

Thanks for comin'
out here with me.

Ah, no problem.
It's my job. You call, I come.

That's how cabs work.
Right?

Next time we come here,
we're renting a car.

Like I said...
Thank you.

No problem.

But I mean, I know you would've

rather had Nia with you.

- Yeah, you right.
- What?!

You're supposed
to say no.

I'm just messin'
with you.

You really need
to stop comparing

yourself to your sister.

I mean, you're just as
responsible as she is.

Look at what a great job you did

takin' care of Alice.

Yeah, a-about that.

Woo! The little girl gave you

the slip, didn't she?

- You knew?
- I do now.

Okay, maybe, you're
not as responsible as your sister,

but truth be told,
neither am I.

We break things,
but we also put 'em back together.

Besides,
your sister would've never helped me

steal an old man
from a hospital.

- You right, you right.
- (chuckling)

Okay,
let's make a deal.

From now on,
we'll both try to be

a little bit
more responsible.

(Phone ringing)

Speakin' of, look.

Hey, Nia.

Yes, sweetheart,
everything's good.

We are on the way
to the airport.

Yes,
I have the tickets and the luggage.

Yes, sweetie.
Yes, I have my purse.

Goodbye...
Hey, Keith, can you turn around?

I forgot my purse.

Hey, you guys.
I forgot my...

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

What in the world do

Raven, um...
This is not what it looks like.

These ribs are prescription.

You are so busted.

We're so busted.

There you go.
Booker, go get the bags.

We're not going anywhere.
Give me this.

I can't believe you, actually...
mmm.

How come you get
to eat the ribs?

Oh, 'cause I didn't
have a heart attack.

Ooh, these are good!
