9-1-1: Lone Star

Boba gets a bad rap because it basically has

no nutritional value, but most people

just don’t appreciate the fact that it’s fun to drink.

I mean, yeah, the tapioca’s sort of like blobs of snot,

but, uh, it’s delicious blobs of snot.

What?

You filibustered a solid six minutes on boba.

Before that it was Billie Eilish,

the Cowboys’ running game, and how underrated

was.

Well, Brad is magic

even as a baby, so...

How long are you going to avoid talking about it, TK?

What?

The elephant in the juice bar.

-Us? -(chuckles)

When I saw you in that hospital bed,

not knowing if you’d ever wake up again,

I had all these feelings-- strong feelings,

which is crazy because I still barely know you.

I’m just confused.

What are we? Are we even a "we"?

Honestly, I have no idea, Carlos.

"I have no idea." Yeah. That’s it.

Look, hey, you think you’re confused?

I don’t even know who I am anymore, all right?

I don’t know if this is the life I want,

or I’m even in the right career or in the right state.

I feel like I need to figure that out first

-before I can-- -You can figure this out?

-I got it. -(sighs)

I’m sorry.

I sound like such a narcissistic dick right now.

-No-- Thank you.

You sound pretty reasonable, actually.

Hey, look, at least let me get it.

-No. -Let me get it.

No.

From what you said, you’re about to be unemployed, so...

I feel like you’re bummed.

No, I’m good.

If it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be.

Not like it’s the end of the world.

Ow--the hell?

You okay? Yeah.

-(scooter beeps) The hell is this?

Whoa, whoa. Oh, wow.

Hey, are you all right?

Help, this thing won’t stop.

Oh, my God.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Watch it, hey, hey.

Hey, you all right?

Hey, why are those lights green?

What?

Those lights are green.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the--

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Michelle, what are you up to, honey?

I’m just leaving the camp. I have a shift.

What’s going on?

Okay, so I know you’ve been laying low

since we found out about Iris, but I don’t know.

I was thinking it’s time we--

Yeah?

(voice distorting) Take--a little--

-Mom? I found this ador--

Mom, you’re breaking up.

Air--listen--

Mom, can you hear me?

-(phone beeps) -(sighs)

Hey, Doc, remember me?

(espresso machine grinds and whirs)

Guys, I think we have a problem.

It’s not working, and now it’s making this "krrsshh" sound.

Ooh, dude, tell me you did not

just break Cap’s espresso maker.

He had that custom-made in Italy.

-It’s his prized possession. -Think I don’t know that?

And besides, I didn’t break it. Paul did.

Hm.

Mm-mm, don’t even try it, Probie.

Thing was working fine when I used it.

And you probably packed the filter basket

with extra fine grounds and ran it

on a high temp, didn’t you?

I enjoy a robust cup.

I’m not gonna apologize for that.

How many times do I have to tell you?

It puts a strain on it.

Probably overheated, threw off the water conditioning system.

This is why I’ve been saying we should just buy a coffee pot.

Hey, yeah, there you go. Go ahead and whack it.

-That ought to fix it. -(Paul laughs)

Oh, God, what am I gonna do?

You’re gonna do the right thing--

fall on your sword and tell the truth.

Hello.

-Paul did it. -Objection!

What?

See, I tried to make you one of those Cap’s half-caf cap

like you like, but Paul over packed the filter basket.

Again, wow.

No, it’s true.

I always try to warn him that his grounds are too tight.

Throws off the calibration and--he broke your machine.

So unplug it. Get it serviced.

So you’re not mad?

At a coffee maker? Who cares?

Did he really just say "who cares"?

Did he really just call it a "coffee maker"?

Yeah, whatever’s going on with him this morning is--

It’s bad.

I know how you feel, boy.

Hey, Cap.

Uh, can I help you guys?

Yeah, we were actually gonna ask you the same question.

Hey, if you wanna take a crack at these

quarterly fire prevention and training totals,

knock yourself out.

Look, I hope you’re not expecting us to pretend

like we don’t see those dark clouds

hanging over your head.

Dark clouds? There are no clouds.

Those frown lines between your eyes would beg to differ.

Has anyone ever told you that when you do your thing,

it feels a little bit like a violation?

Yes, all the time.

The therapy that you forced me into--

my guy’s always saying that the first step

to solving a problem is admitting that there is one.

Is Cowboy Judd really gonna force me

to talk about my feelings?

I’m as surprised as you are, you know?

It’s TK.

He may not be coming back after his medical leave.

Whoa, what--was there a complication?

No, medically, he’s gonna have a full recovery.

He just doesn’t know whether he wants to do this.

The kid got shot, all right? So you gotta give him a minute.

Yeah, as many as he wants, but now he’s saying

he’s not sure that he ever wanted to do it.

That’s crazy. I mean, he was made to do this.

I agree.

Even if he doesn’t know who he is right now, I do,

but I’m the one person who can’t tell him.

Nobody can, Cap.

Yeah, it’s something somebody has to figure on their own.

Exactly.

You want me to talk to him?

Sorry to interrupt, guys, but Captain Strand,

is there any chance you’ve spoken

with Captain Blake this morning?

-No, why? -She hasn’t come in.

We haven’t been able to reach her all day.

That’s odd.

What the hell is that?

Some sort of a power surge.

(Thomas Dolby’s "She Blinded Me with Science")

Ow!

Are we being hacked? I don’t know!

Judd, get up there and secure that ladder.

Paul, Marjan, kill the batteries in the rig.

You take care of this, Johnny.

(ice cubes clattering, kettle whining)

Cap, the espresso machine is working.

Must have reset during the brown out.

But it’s not plugged in.
