9-1-1: Lone Star

Did you leave yet?

Nicky Baskin started a snowball fight

with like the whole neighborhood!

MOM (over phone): No, baby. They're saying the roads

aren't safe with the ice.

I don't think I'll be home for a while.

Then is it okay if I go out and play?

I promise I'll be careful.

Abe, you know the cold is bad for your asthma.

I'll bring my inhaler. It's no different than hockey.

The difference is I'm at the rink during hockey.

But, Mom, they're having fun.

I know, and I'm so sorry.

Listen, how about today you can eat junk food

and play all the video games you want?

: Okay.

I love you, honey.

I love you too, Mom. Get home safe.

(indistinct announcer on video game)

Hey, Nicky, where are you all going?

Home. We've been out here all day, man. I'm freezing.

All right, see you guys.

Abe with the breakaway!

It's one-on-one, he shoots...

he scores!

The crowd goes insane!

Stay with me, man. You just keep breathing.

-Damn it. -(knock on door)

I made hot toddies.

But I see you already have company.

Found him in the snow, he's hypothermic.

Owen, are you bleeding?

No, that's not my blood.

Is he gonna be okay?

The pressure's not working.

Oh. Oh, boy. All right.

It's not a bullet wound, but looks like he was stabbed,

hit a brachial artery.

Okay, I need you to go over to the dresser

and get me a clean pair of socks

and a bottle of vodka.

Yeah, sure.

I'm gonna have to cauterize this wound.

Come back and try to get him to open up his mouth,

see if he'll bite down on the sock.

Should I try and give him a drink first?

No, the vodka's for us.

Sir? Sir? Sir?

I need you to wake up. I need you to open your mouth.

-Que pasando? Somos amigos.

Abre la boca. Abre la boca.

-(muffled gasping) -Vamos a ayudarte.

: No, no, no, no!

Sorry, amigo.

Well...

that was awful.

He's stabilized.

He's lost a lot of blood. He's gonna need a hospital.

Do you have a landline at your place?

No, no landline.

But I do have the next best thing.

Blizzard-like conditions continue to ravage Texas,

making roads impassable,

knocking out cell service and power across the state.

And nowhere is the situation more dire than here

at Providence Pasture Church,

where I'm told that in addition

to a young volunteer stuck inside,

a firefighter was trapped during a rescue operation.

Cap, we gotta get in there before USAR boys

put a red tag on the whole building.

If they do, there's a good reason for it.

There has to be 20,000 pounds of ice on that structure.

Maybe we can get you some ladders and chainsaws,

start removing the bigger pieces.

Yeah. Well, with all due respect, sir,

that would take a couple of days.

That's better than the roof of Damocles

crashing down on your heads right now.

MAN (over radio): Dispatch to Captain Tatum.

Go for Captain Tatum.

Judd, you saw what happened

the last time we went in.

We don't even know Paul or that girl's status.

Much less where they are in the pile.

Okay, well, hey, Cap, Cap, Cap, Cap.

Hey, look, if we lose their little girl,

I wanna be able to look 'em in the eye

and say to 'em we did everything we could to save her.

And right now, we cannot do that.

However, if we go in there and we're quick and we tread lightly,

we can take a look around

before USAR shuts this whole scene down.

Okay, but if they make the call I want your word,

you get your butts out of there right away.

-Deal. -All right.

129 just got another call.

Downed lines arcing on a sprinter van.

Okay if we leave the scene, Captain?

Good luck.

All right, 129, pack up your crap!

Chavez. You got a wax build-up?

Your house is on the move.

129 may be my house, but Paul's my family.

I have to help rescue him, sir.

You're a good kid, Chavez.

Not a bright kid, but a good one.

All right if he joins your command, Captain?

We'd be glad to have him.

The 126 boys really are something, aren't they?

It's not just the boys.

All right, 122, let's get in there.

Okay, try to stay calm for me, ma'am. What's your name?

-It's Carol. Okay, Carol.

My name is Grace.

Now I see you're at a residence

at 226 West Briar.

-Is that correct? -CAROL (over phone): No!

I mean, yes, I'm here,

but only because I needed a landline.

I tried to call from my cell, but--

Yeah, the towers are out across the city.

Can you tell me where the boy is?

A block away, in the pond off Mill Road.

Okay, I do see the pond.

You said the boy's under the ice?

Do you know how long he's been under there?

No, my husband saw him open his eyes,

but that was at least five minutes ago.

We tried to break the ice, but it's too thick.

You have to send somebody.

Okay.

Um, unfortunately, because of the weather,

there are no available fire trucks

within ten miles of that pond.

Well, then he's gonna die!

But I do see one other unit in the area.

Here they come! Over here!

Well, there's the ambulance,

but where are the fire trucks?

That must be them.

Okay, TK, park the rig right here.

Uh, we're sliding. We're sliding!

Or not.

All right, TK, get the ECMO machine ready to go,

and start the warming fluids.

Nancy, help me with the gurney.

And careful where you step.

No one needs a broken tailbone.

Copy. Copy.

He's out there. I put my hat on the ice over where he is

so the firefighters can find him

when they get here. Are they close?

They're all spoken for because of the Snowmageddon.

Good news is, I was a firefighter in New York,

so this is not my first ice rescue.

Okay, but-but don't you need special gear for that?

We'll just have to improvise.

Here, let me grab that.

Alright, what you got in here?

-Oh, my God, look at that relic. -(Sadie chuckles)

When was the last time you used it?

Me? Never. No.

That belongs to my ex.

Some guys collect baseball cards,

others rebuild hot rods,

Clyde was into ham radio.

Sorry, I don't have the instructions.

Oh, I'm sure we can figure it out.

Assuming that it works.

No, it-it does. Or it did.

Clyde's finest hour was raising some kook

in Galveston on that thing.

Here, emergency frequencies.

Break emergency. Break emergency.

This is call sign 5-K-M-C-G.

Repeat, call sign 5-K-M-C-G.

Requesting emergency assistance.
