9-1-1: Lone Star

Come on, man. You know me. I'm good for it.

Come on, man, I'm good for it!

Lady, you sure this is where you wanna be?

I'm pretty sure it's not.

TK.

TK.

TK!

TK.

TK (weakly): Leave me alone.

Oh, God. Leave me alone.

Hey.

Come on, let's get up.

-Come on. Mom?

Come on, get up.

How'd you find me?

I am your mother. I will always find you.

-Should you be here? -No!

And neither should you. Let's go home.

-Come on, let's go. -I can't, Mom.

Yes, you can. Come on, get up.

-Is Dad with you? -No, I came alone.

Come on, let's go.

No, no, no, it's fine.

It's fine.

TK.

TK!

TK!

OWEN (echoing): TK?

TK?

TK?

Do you have a preference?

I guess it doesn't really matter.

At a certain point, black is black.

Okay, I can get three seats at a 9:30 flight,

but the 11:00 a.m. flight is a little bit cheaper.

The 9:30.

We have to be at the funeral home

by 3:00 New York time.

I don't wanna cut it that close.

Yeah. -Do you think he'll remember?

Jonah watched his mom die.

Do you think he'll remember it?

Uh, he's not even a year old, son.

I don't think you can remember things that early.

I did.

I remember the wallpaper in the 86th Street apartment.

Purple flowers.

I remember the elephants on the mobile above my crib.

I remember the songs Mom sang me.

Not... Not the words.

I can't...

I can't really remember the words,

but I, I, I know she sang to me.

God, he's gonna be so traumatized.

Dad, if he saw...

TK...

he's gonna be okay.

Okay? TK, I promise.

Who's gonna take him to dim sum?

You. Enzo.

No, Enzo doesn't know the place on Spring Street.

It's a hole in the wall.

He's gonna take him somewhere fancy.

Babe, you can take him to your place.

Everything's broken now.

Will he even know how broken it is?

He'll never know the time when it wasn't.

He'll never know Mom.

Yes, he will.

He'll know her through you as a big brother.

You'll tell him about Mom.

The songs she sang.

He'll know her through you.

Okay, I need to pack, right?

No, no, you don't.

It's all taken care of.

Alright?

I have to go to the cleaners.

I'll swing back and pick you guys up, okay?

-Yeah, we'll be ready. -Alright.

I'm so sorry, Carlos.

It's your first time to New York and it's like this.

TK, do not even think about that.

I wish things were different.

Hey, look at me.

There will be other trips.

I'm gonna go grab us some food.

I'm not really hungry.

I know.

I know, but you should eat something.

I'll figure it out.

I love you.

: Love you.

I'm just saying, those delivery bikes are dangerous.

Not usually.

Zipping in and out of traffic.

You can't hear 'em coming.

You think she saw that?

Well...

She managed to push the baby out of the way, so, yeah.

It's awful.

I know. I called my mom as soon as I got home.

I should call mine too.

Hey, should we send flowers or something?

No, that's all taken care of.

Grace ordered an arrangement.

It's gonna have everybody's name on it.

It'll be there when they get to the funeral home.

-Just let us know how much we owe you. -Yeah, I will.

Hey, do you guys think this is happening kinda fast?

I mean, it seems quick, right?

When my grandma died,

there was like a week in between.

It's Jewish law.

Or tradition, actually.

Burial has to happen within 24 hours.

Maybe it is better just to get it over with.

Hmm.

Hey, guys.

Hey, TK.

Shouldn't you, uh, be on a plane right about now?

Yeah, I'm not going.

-You're not? -Nope.

(indistinct announcement over PA)

Hey, Nance.

Hey.

Here. I'll bring it up.

That's good.

Hey. -Yeah?

Son, what are you doing?

You should eat.

I'm not really hungry.

Yes, you are. You just don't know it.

Swallow.

I'm not a damn baby, Mom.

No, you're not.

Because when a baby reaches for something sharp,

it doesn't know the danger.

You know the danger and you're still reaching,

you're still sticking that sharp thing into you.

You've lost control, TK.

We're getting you help.

I don't need help. It's...

It's not like that, alright? I'm-I'm managing.

Is that what you were doing yesterday

in that place, managing it?

You don't...

Ask Dad.

Ask him how many shifts I've missed.

Ask all the other guys if I've missed one shift

or if I've shown up late or, or dirty

'cause, no, I have not.

Are you addicted to the needle prick yet?

Oh, my God. Mom, why--

I read about it. Needle fixation.

The ritual of the pain.

Why are we even talking about this?

You gonna eat that?

-No, I'm gonna puke. -Then puke.

But just get it all out because we have a flight to catch.

What?

Our plane leaves in two hours.

-What are you talking about? -I'm taking you to rehab.

-Rehab? There's a place in California

that is supposed to be the best.

C... Califor... Mom, I have work.

No, you don't. Not for 30 days.

No. I am... I am not doing that, Mom.

Do what you want. You have six hours to decide.

-No. -Because we are getting on that plane!

-No! -(pounds on table)

I have to stay here, Mom.

They need me.

Listen... Look at me, I'm-I'm fine.

I'm a firefighter, Mom, alright? I save lives.

That is what I am trying to do.

It should open up in a minute.

It always kinda clogs up here.

Alright, so Carlos is checking us in

and we only have one bag to worry about,

so we just gotta get through security,

we should be fine.

We will be fine getting through security, right?

You wanna frisk me first?

Do I need to?

I was just doing inventory, Dad.

I already told you that. You can believe me or not.

Why were you even there, TK?

You knew you had a flight to catch.

I don't know. I...

I just thought it'd be a good idea.

Just wanted the day to be normal, but it's...

it's not.

No, it's not.

I don't wanna do this, Dad.
