9-1-1

You seem unsettled, sergeant Grant.

I suppose so.

I'm not usually one to bring my troubles to strangers.

Tell me what's going on.

So, last week, my husband

he did something. He

booked us on a cruise.

A cruise?

It's kind of a belated honeymoon.

I mean, Bobby is so excited.

This trip means the world to him.

I wouldn't want to spoil it.

Why would you?

Because the idea of even setting foot on that boat

fills me with dread. I'm terrified.

Do you have any idea where this anxiety might be coming from?

No, I know exactly.

Abc presents a world television premiere.

Irwin Allen's the Poseidon adventure!

Get my binoculars.

I don't know, I-I never saw anything like it.

My god.

What?

So, you're saying you're traumatized

by a TV movie you saw when you were a child?

A major motion picture.

Shelley winters was even nominated

for best supporting actress at the oscars that year.

Did she win?

No, she did not.

You don't think there might be some other reason

you're feeling anxious about

going on this cruise with your husband?

I just told you that a man fell

through a damn upside-down skylight.

What about that don't you get?

Sergeant Grant, my best advice?

Pack some extra drama mine and try not to think about Titanic.

Poseidon.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

I love you. I love you.

Where are you calling from, sir?

San Fernando valley. Maybe tarzana?

My plane's about to crash!

Is this a light aircraft?

No. F-16.

"F" as in fighter jet?

Yes! I'm a pilot with the air national guard.

I was on a training exercise. I lost comms,

then I lost engine control, then I lost my plane.

Civilian air traffic's been alerted.

I dispatched an ra unit to our pilot. And a ladder truck.

Just spoke to the air national guard.

They did lose contact with one of their aircraft.

Well, can they tell us where it is now?

Unfortunately, they cannot.

Doesn't it have a transponder?

After a pilot ejection,

the plane thinks it's in enemy territory

and stops transmitting.

It's supposed to gradually descend to the ground.

The only words in that sentence that worry me

are "descend" and "ground."

Can you stop?

I'm midway through the battle of midway!

This chair is disgusting.

I want it out. It doesn't go with anything!

It goes with me.

Well, then fine. Then it can go.

With you.

These are the dive-bomb.

Bobby sure picked the right day to leave for his honeymoon.

No way anybody survived this.

Thank god.

The firefighters are here, Abe.

My husband, he's stuck in his chair.

Which is not unusual.

- Ma'am? Let me take a look at you. - Yeah?

- Okay. - Is there anyone else in the house?

No, it's just us. We never had children.

And animals don't like her.

Sir, try not to move your neck.

Okay, can you wiggle your toes for me?

No.

And I-I can't feel my legs, either.

It's kind of... It's kind of hard to breathe.

All right, we're gonna get you out of here. Buck!

Yeah. Coming. Okay, on three.

Ready? One, two...

Okay, hey, what if we chain the wreckage to the ladder truck,

- try and tow it off him? - No.

Looks like this plane is holding up whatever's left

- of this house. - All right.

We're gonna have to cut him out of this chair.

No! Don't cut the chair!

Yes! Please cut the chair.

He loves the chair more than he loves me.

For once I'm not arguing with her.

- Ma'am? - Yeah?

May I please ask you to go with this firefighter?

Okay. All right.

I don't think that's fuel.

Might be hydrazine.

All right, either way, we start cutting this chair,

I worry about sparks.

We just need to clear a space

so that we can slide him out.

What do we suppose this is?

Exactly what you think it is.

A dummy bomb?

Yeah. That's right.

Can it be ejected so I can get to my patient?

Yeah, no problem.

You just have to defuse it first.

You just said it was a dummy bomb.

Well, it is. It's for the target range.

It's still an explosive. It's not like it's gonna blow up

the whole neighborhood or anything.

Probably just the house it's in.

Maybe the one next door.

Captain Wilson, the national guard is sending up a team now.

They should be there within the hour.

Our patient may have a spinal injury or worse. We can't wait.

You don't have to wait.

It'll be fine. I'll talk you through it.

Okay, Joe. We're ready.

Okay, first carefully remove

the trigger housing from the nose.

There you go.

Trigger cap is removed. What now?

Okay. Go ahead and snip that red wire.

But first, disconnect the white low voltage coupling.

Where's edna?

She's been evacuated to a safe place.

Good. Can she stay there forever?

Sarcasm. I am familiar.

Who's being sarcastic?

A fighter jet crashes into my front parlor

and not even one of us gets put out of my misery?

You're dark, Abe.

Spend three decades with edna, you would be, too.

Okay, Joe. Voltage coupling disconnected.

Okay, go ahead and cut that green wire.

Wha... Green? You... you said red.

- Did I? - Yeah.

- You said red. - Are you sure?

Yes! Yes! You said red.

Okay, okay... Let's go with red.

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

He just fell 10,000 feet.

It's possible he's not thinking that clearly.

Hey.

Hey, hey, Abe. Stay with me, pal.

Hey, guys? We need to get this thing off of him, like now.

What are we gonna do here, cap?

Cut the red one.

His disorientation is just now presenting.

Let's go with his first instinct.

Cut the red one.

Guys, hey! Guys!

Guys!

It's best to just keep you like this

until they can take a look at you at the hospital.

Apologize for the delay.

They still haven't repaired that piece of the i-10

that collapsed last year.

Major, can I ask a question?

When disarming the payload,

after disconnecting the voltage coupling: Red or green wire?

Red. Obviously.

Obviously.

Abe? Abe?!

Do me a favor? Tell her I died.

Thank god! It's a miracle.

Well, it was touch-and-go there for a minute,

but I think he's going to be just fine.

What? No.

I meant it's a miracle that hideous chair

is finally out of my house.

God...

What house?

A husband and wife are lucky to be alive today

when an f-16 with no pilot...

How do you suppose that happens?

- I assume something broke. - No, I mean,

how do two people live together in the same roof

for 30 years and end up full of resentment and disdain?

I believe you just answered your own question.

But you don't think something like this could happen

to me and mad die, do you?

You don't live in a flight path. You should be fine.

I was still talking about resentment and disdain.

I know you were.

That only happens if you let it.

So don't let it.

You know what? You are absolutely right.

Good night, o captain, my captain.

Hey, so, you have any plans for the weekend?

I was thinking about go-karting. Place out in the desert,

supposed to be a blast.
