9-1-1

Previously on 911…

We need to move this.

LAFD! Is anyone… in there?

Detective Hooks. I'll try not to take up too much more of your time.

You don't have any evidence except for them.

- They can help you. - Maybe we can help them.

Yeah, I think we might have a real problem here.

Okay, guys. Everyone, we're going to use our listening ears and our gentle hands.

Mila, the napkin is not to eat.

Can I have two cupcakes?

Everyone's getting one cupcake, Remi.

- But it's my birthday. - And you are very special.

Uh, Theo, can you please stop hitting your balloon?

Karate chop. Hi-yah!

Theo, do we need to pay a visit to the Calm Down Corner again?

- No, thanks. - Good.

Can you please come sit on the bench?

We're gonna sing "Happy Birthday" to Remi, okay?

He's standing on a bench, not sitting.

Remi, can you tell everybody how old you are?

- I'm four. - Ah.

Okay.

No! My birthday wish.

Looks like we're going to have to celebrate Remi's birthday inside today.

Yay, I love it inside.

Ms. Wanda, my balloon!

I'm sorry, Theo.

Okay. Everyone, please grab your plates, and let's go line up.

Oh, no.

Liam, why are you taking off your shoe?

Come on. Everybody, let's go. Let's get in line.

Everybody, let's go. Come on, inside.

Keep going. Thank you. Go ahead. Go inside.

Oh, thank God.

He's up there.

Is that thing on?

Hear that hum? It's 34,000 volts.

Can't shut that off locally.

Why would anyone climb up there?

Bet it has something to do with that balloon.

Oh, my God. He's gonna fall.

Ma'am, why don't we get you to wait over here?

We don't want to have him see you panic, okay?

We're gonna get him down, I promise.

Hey, buddy. Can you do me a favor?

Stay completely still and don't touch any of those wires, okay?

Okay.

All right, Harry, Eddie, let's get the rescue tarp in place.

Ravi, I want you to raise the ladder, but stay away from the power lines.

- Do you understand? - Yes, Cap.

Buck, get ready to turn on the charm.

Okay. Hey, buddy.

What's your name? Wait, is it Spider-Man?

No, it's Theo.

Theo. Hi, Theo. My name...

Your name is Mr. Poop.

Uh, yeah. Okay, sure, that works.

Hey, Theo, why don't you come over here and be on my ladder with me.

No. I need my balloon.

You know, I figured you might say that. So let me tell you what.

You come down with me, and I'll get you a nice new balloon.

No. I need my balloon.

Is he arguing with him?

Never argue with a toddler. You'll always lose.

Okay, okay, ho-hold still.

Uh…

I-I will get you ten balloons if you...

No, I need my balloon.

Okay, you can have whatever you want

if you just hold still and let me get you.

No!

Hey, Ravi, um, I need you to raise me up to that balloon.

Chim, that's gonna put him pretty close to the wires.

No, Buck cannot do that. Buck, you cannot do that.

Cap, have you ever won an argument with a toddler?

Okay, Theo. Here I go.

You stay right there.

Okay.

Yeah, keep it going.

All right, that's as close as I can get you.

Yeah, I should be able to reach it from here.

Uh, hey, Theo, you holding still?

Yeah.

Yeah? Good job. Keep it up.

Okay, Rav, take me back down.

Okay. You happy now, Theo?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Come over here a little, nice and easy.

I got you. I'm gonna tie this right here.

Thanks, Mr. Poop.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay, guys, this is Theo.

Theo, these are my friends. That's Hen, and that's Eddie.

They're gonna make sure you didn't hurt yourself.

Okay, nice and easy.

Eddie's got you.

All right, your son's gonna be just fine, ma'am.

My son? No, he's not my son.

I was out power-walking when I saw him up there.

I just called 911.

Well, who does he belong to?

Beats me.

Uh, hey. Hey, Theo.

What's your last name?

Spider-Man.

Hey, buddy, do you know where you live?

At home.

Where's home, honey?

Our house.

All right, Ravi, why don't you check with Dispatch,

see if anybody in the area has reported a missing toddler.

- Yeah. - Hey, Theo,

have you ever been on a fire truck?

Fire truck!

- Fire… - Uh…

All right.

- Uh-uh. Don't you dare. - Okay.

Oh!

Didn't quite nail the dismount.

- Six out of ten. - You know what?

I would give that a nine out of ten. You're doing great.

I was just showing off.

I'm gonna need a nap when you leave.

You're recovering from a stroke, Sue.

You're making amazing progress.

Don has been on a mission.

He's got me doing puzzles and knitting and paint-by-numbers.

He read about a therapy, we're doing it.

So, how's work?

Harder without you, but we're making it through.

Oh. Well-phrased. Noncommittal and low-pressure.

Yeah, I workshopped it with Chimney at home.

I wanted you to know that we miss you,

but obviously that there's no pressure to rush back.

I'm feeling zero pressure.

But 100% boredom.

Give me something.

Oh, um, okay. Uh, Jody's finally ready to retire.

No, no, no, no. Not any of the boring work stuff.

I want the hot goss.

So is Linda's mother-in-law still living with 'em?

Oh, oh, did Terry's girlfriend ever come back from her "sabbatical" in Costa Rica?

I-I don't know any of those things.

I haven't had a lot of break room time recently.

It's been really busy, so…

Oh, that happened fast.

What happened?

The transition.

From coworker and colleague to supervisor.

You're management now.

No, I'm not. I'm... I'm me.

No, you're the boss,

which means nobody's going to tell you anything anymore.

They don't see you as a friend any longer.

Okay, that feels harsh and not true.

It's part of the gig. I remember when it happened to me.

It was weird at first, but you get used to it.

Well, it's not gonna happen to me, 'cause I'm still one of them.

Okay.

Oh. Hey.

Athena, I didn't expect to see you here.

Yeah, Harry said y'all were rounding up donations for folk at the hospital,

so I asked around the station.

- This is great. - Thanks.

So, uh, how's the little boy?

He ate three cups of pudding,

did 12 laps around the building,

and begged to go down the fire pole every time he sees it.

- You can't catch me! - Okay.

So, have we, uh, figured out who he is yet?

Well, the day care that he escaped from finally figured out that he was missing.

Reported it.

His parents should be here soon to pick him up, we hope.

Definitely got their hands full.

I remember that age.

- You guys miss it? - No.

So, the migrants.

Is there anything else that I can do to help?

No, it's just the legal stuff.

Visas, protective order.

How's that going?

About as slow as you'd expect.

The migrants are all getting connected with RPB, the refugees.

Yeah, Program Bureau. I know it.

Yeah, the fastest track to resettlement benefits, but real tricky to navigate.

They don't make it easy on purpose.

I mean, the detective who was working the case said that he would help us,

but we haven't heard much since.

Well, who is he?

Maybe I can check in and give him a subtle prod.

Uh, it's, uh, Detective Hooks.

- Ben Hooks? - You know him?

- Great. - Maybe you can put in a word?

Maybe more than one.

Buddy Buck.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah. Yes, Captain.
