9-1-1: Lone Star

Ma'am, do you know how long he's been like this?

Come on, baby. Come on, Charles.

Ma'am?

No. I just got home.

- Come on, baby, please. - Do you know what he was doing

before he lost consciousness?

- Come on, Charles. - Ma'am, do you know if he fell?

Are there any visible injuries that you can see?

Ma'am, is there anything else you can tell me?

Ma'am?

Ma'am, are you still there?

I'm here.

Paramedics will be with you - within six minutes.

No need to hurry.

I'm sorry?

No pulse.

Cool to the touch.

Rigor has started to set in.

Patient is beyond resuscitation.

Ma'am, let's let the paramedics make that determination.

I am a paramedic. Captain Vega, 126.

I'm sorry, Captain.

Tell the responders no lights, no sirens.

I don't want to wake my kids.

Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths.

The kitchen's recently been updated

with top-of-the-line appliances and beautiful hardwood floors.

Is that a slide-in dual-range?

I'm not sure. I can find that out for you.

No, it is.

- It's a slide-in dual-range. - And you can tell

that the entire house gets amazing light.

There's a Blue Ribbon elementary school

within walking distance, and the backyard

- just a smidge under a half-acre. - You hear that, T?

I always wanted a backyard just a smidge under a half-acre.

I hope you're ready

to give up half your Saturdays mowing it.

Why don't I just

let you two look around?

The lady was right.

This place gets amazing light.

Yeah, it really does.

I have to admit, I love it.

Don't you love it?

You don't love it.

We can't afford this.

Yes, we can.

You're on the fast track to captain.

The restaurant is finally in the black.

We can do this.

W-What are we gonna do with three bedrooms?

Fill them.

And what if we never can?

We will.

And if we can't,

I was thinking that we could turn

one of the rooms into a lounge

- with craft beer taps. - No.

And-and we could turn the other one

into Austin's biggest walk-in closet.

Well, that I can get behind.

Look around.

What do you see?

I see an overpriced, very sweet house.

I see the future.

Please take him to St. Raymond's.

I called ahead. Dr. Mary Roberts will do the postmortem.

All right.

Was your husband on any prescription medication, ma'am?

Do you know anyone in their 50s who isn't?

No. Nothing that would account for this.

And no history of heart disease or asthma or epilepsy.

Any opioid use or other controlled substances

- you were aware of? - No. Absolutely not.

All right.

Call if you think of anything else.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Buenos días, mis niñas.

Hi, Mom. Where's Dad?

He couldn't be here this morning,

so I get to cook for you.

Was that the car I heard last night in the driveway?

Him leaving?

That's right.

Did you and Dad have a fight?

- No. - But if he's not here,

who's going to take us to school, then?

I am.

So dig in, because we're not gonna have

a whole lot of time to get ready, okay?

Why are you acting weird?

Am I?

Okay, listen, um

there's something I have to tell you girls.

There was an accident last night.

What happened?

There was a fire, in the place where Mommy works.

So...

Mommy doesn't have to go to work for a while.

Yes!

Don't cheer for a fire.

I'm not cheering for a fire.

I'm cheering because Mom can go

to the zoo with us on Friday.

No, Dad said we're going after school on Thursday...

- Hey, babe. - Hey, hey.

How was PT?

It was really good.

Nurse said my hip flexion's almost up to 120.

What... That's my girl.

Look at you with your readers on.

What you working so hard on?

So I thought I'd make a-a first pass at our registry.

Really?

- Well, that's sweet. Let's see. - Come check this out.

So I itemized it according to by category, right?

So you got, like, feeding, clothing, sleepwear, travel.

- My goodness, Judd. - Look... What is...

This is all really good, sweetheart, but I don't think

the baby's gonna have use for cowboy boots just yet.

Why not?

Well, babies can't walk, Judd, for one.

So they don't need shoes, much less cowboy boots.

Think about how adorable she'll look

with-with the little matching hat.

So you think it's gonna be a she?

I got a feeling.

Hey, T. What's going on?

Hey, Gracie, look, I'm-I'm sorry to call so last-minute,

but do you think you can pick up the girls at school today?

And maybe spend a few hours with them this afternoon?

- Yeah, of course. - Yeah, we're always looking

for a little hang time with our goddaughters.

- You guys are amazing. - Tommy, is everything okay?

Yeah. Something came up

that I have to take care of.

- Look, I'll-I'll call you later. - -Okay.

Crew, is it just me or did she seem like something was wrong?

- Yeah. That was weird. - Yeah.

Captain Vega.

I hear there is a case you wanted me to take a look at.

Yes, and-and I'm sorry, Dr. Roberts.

I didn't realize it was your day off.

Not a problem. Looks like it's yours, too.

I'm looking to get some answers.

For the family?

That's right.

All right.

50-year-old African American male.

Patient was unresponsive when you arrived on scene.

Signs of rigor.

Lividity...

At first I thought... sudden stroke.

But there were no indicators.

Most likely an aneurysm.

You can see from his medical history, he

was healthy.

And if there had been a chronic issue,

I'm fairly certain I would have spotted it.

This is your husband?

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

We have

two very precocious little girls at home.

They're gonna have questions.

I understand.

Captain Vega, is there someone you can call?

I called you.

I'm gonna get you your answers, Captain.

Captain Vega, I don't think

you should be here while I do this.

This isn't the end of the world, T.

This is just a setback.

Not a setback. The third setback.

You know what they say in boxing.

You get knocked down three times?

It's over, you're done. TKO.

Well, lucky for us, this isn't boxing.

No, 'cause boxing is less painful.

I'd like to see how Mike Tyson holds up

to IVF treatments.

God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- I'm frustrated. - I know.

And I'm jacked up on hormones.

- I know that, too. - And-and I'm tired, Charles.

I'm tired

of being poked and prodded

and feeling like a failure.

We don't have to do it like this.

In fact, we don't have to do this at all. We...

We can just carry on being deliriously happy.

Just you and me.

- I mean it. - I know.

I know you do. I know, and I love you for it.

But I just... I want to have a baby with you, husband.

But there are other options.

No, I'm... I'm

I'm not ready to give up yet.
