Sir, are you there?

Sir, can you hear me? Sir?

Sir?

We've been here before.

- When? - Before you joined us, kid.

- _ Chimney,

you're almost there!

Coming. Coming. Coming.

Help me out here.

All right, watch her head.

Okay. Got it.

Why would she do something like this?

I'm sorry.

Whatever it was, we could have talked about it.

I could have helped her. I loved her.

I imagine she wasn't eager to run into your loving arms.

We had our differences.

Clearly.

Now, my wife liked to use this tree for target practice.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Where were you last night? Do not walk away from me.

Hey!

You do this to yourself.

You realize that?

What do you want to hear, honey?

Huh? That I found some guy?

That I screwed his brains out in the car?

Will that make you feel better for hitting me?

Why would you get a gun?

Don't take another step, Dan. I will shoot you.

I swear I will.

Well, look at you.

All brave.

Oh, I'm not brave.

I'm just so pissed at myself for letting you

rip me away from my life and control me!

Pull the trigger.

Go ahead, pull the trigger.

Shoot.

Shoot, shoot, shoot! Damn it...

You want out so bad,

you're gonna have to shoot yourself, not me.

Look.

It's still standing.

And she's not.

I really can't explain it.

Fungus took hold, spread like cancer.

Was she exposed to any foreign objects?

She got sick after being struck by a bullet.

That's weird. Tree this size?

Come on. There's nothing you can do?

Truth be told, she should have been leveled months ago.

It's a damn shame.

A lot of good memories with this tree.

Well, I can get you an estimate by the end of the day.

Don't bother.

The bullet she fired at him...

Did it fly out of the tree when he blew it up?

Karma's a bitch.

So I want to thank everybody for donating today.

I don't know if you know this or not,

but 90% of all the blood given to patients

in the Los Angeles area comes from volunteers.

I know that we all put our asses on the line

in the field every day to save people,

but today, you're saving people,

and all it's taking is a tiny prick of a needle.

So simple, even Mr. Buckley can't mess that up.

- You still at it, huh? How'd you do? - Incredible.

Everyone donated. Some people even came in on their day off.

That's great. All right, well, let's wrap it up.

- We got to start our shift. - Uh, hold up.

Looks here like I am two pints shy

of my goal for the day.

Well, that'll give you something to work towards next time.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're the captain of this house,

and you're the only one who didn't participate.

I don't like needles, end of story.

Oh, come on. Captain, come on.

You got to donate.

I don't give blood.

All right? I never give blood. When I was a kid,

they tried to take my blood, and I bit the doctor.

It's not funny.

And the one time someone tried to take my blood as an adult...

didn't go well.

Bobby? Bobby, hold... Wait. Hold on. Hold on.

All right, listen, I get it. I really do, okay?

But I really need you to do this for me, all right?

Look...

I'm alive because that rebar hit my head at just the right angle,

and because I had the best damn fire and rescue team

to get me to the hospital

and the best surgeons in the world once I got there.

But I got ten pints of blood, donated blood,

given by the very generous people of this city.

Now, I told you, I just...

I wanted to do this blood drive 'cause I wanted to give

a little something back of what I was given.

And expressing my gratitude like this...

It balances me out with the universe.

Now, you and everybody else here

asked me how they could help with my recovery.

Well, this is how.

- I hate all of you. - Thank you. Thank you.

- You love us. - Here, you're gonna need this.

- Just squeeze it. - All right, let's stick him!

All right, let's get it.

Hey. All right, get in there. Get in there.

There you go.

Mwah.

Hey.

I am proud of us.

What we're trying to do here... I tell you.

And what is it exactly we trying to do?

Because I keep forgetting.

Well, be a family, for better or worse.

Adapt to our circumstance.

You know, everyone says that

they put their kids first, but we are actually doing it.

I want to take the kids out this weekend.

- Out? - Yeah.

Please. We've already taken them to your mother's.

Athena, I've been seeing Glenn now for some time,

and I want the kids to meet him. I-I want you to meet him.

Absolutely not. They say you should wait a year

before you introduce your kids to someone,

and that's under the best of circumstances.

What, you think they're ready to see you sitting at dinner

holding hands with another man?

Well, they need to see me for who I am.

Says who? Look, I know you're ready to come out and change

your whole world, but the rest of us aren't.

God, it's not like he's moving in.

You know, I just thought that if we all go out

for ice cream and maybe have a conversation...

And then what? Is he coming over for Sunday dinner?

Opening presents under the Christmas tree?

- He's a stranger to us. - So I guess you want

to have a background check before he's around the kids?

Couldn't hurt.

I met him on the Wilshire project.

He's a contractor.

Went to USC. He's decent.

Barely drinks.

Doesn't smoke, no drugs.

And I am hoping

that's he's not a stranger for long.

We agreed that this family would change shape,

and that we would work together

to mold it into something that works for all of us.

I'm trying to move forward, Athena.

Move with me.

Then stop moving so fast.

Okay, so I came in early to turn in my keys

and-and pick up my paycheck.

He actually fired me yesterday. It's a whole story.

Anyway, I, um... I smelled something burning.

We all kept trying to tell him to get it fixed.

Oh, my God. I didn't think to do that.

- How long has he been in there? - I don't know. He's the owner,

so sometimes he comes in before we even open, so two hours,

- maybe three? - What do you think, Chim? Is he dead?

Worse. I think he's alive.

Why the hell didn't he just get out?

- Might have had a stroke. - He's 32.

- What was he on? We need to know. - I don't know.

32, may have had a stoke, drugs could be an underlying cause.

- What was he on? - Everything, okay?

- He was stacking. - Steroids?

He's in V-tach!

Starting compressions.

No. He's gone.

- Oh, my God. - Whoa, whoa. Easy.

It's just too freaky. I mean, after what happened with Mindy.

I told him. I said, "Barry, what goes around comes around."

Who's Mindy?

Barry. Hey.

You can't leave Mindy in there.

No, I won't be long. I'm just doing chest.

- She's fine. I cracked the window. - Barry, it's not enough.

Why did you even bring her? Why didn't you just leave her home?

'Cause you know how hyper she gets.

She barks all day. The neighbors have complained.

- I'm not supposed to have a dog. - Barry, she is gonna bake.

It's 70 degrees out.

PETA says on a 70 degree day, temperatures inside a parked car

- can reach a hundred. - Carrie, she's fine.

- She's got water. - Barry, dogs can die from heatstroke.

And she's not your dog. You're supposed to be behind the desk.

Carrie.
