9-1-1: Lone Star

I may not be able to fix things, but I am going to try.

"9-1-1: Lone Star" all new Mondays.

9-1-1, what is your emergency?

And watch other Fox Shows,

like "Monarch," "Cleaning Lady," and "The Resident" on Fox.

Okay.

- Come on. Please. Please, please. - (dialing phone)

- Gracie, give it up, okay? - (line beeping)

At this point all that thing's good for

is keeping your ear warm.

CB radio, on the other hand,

that would come in handy, wouldn't it?

I'm sorry, what was that?

Oh, I was just saying if we'd taken my truck

like I suggested back at the house...

Billy, if you're on your way to an I-told-you-so?

I will rip your weasel tongue out,

stick it to that windshield just to watch it freeze.

You conjure quite an image.

How's them contractions?

They still coming on the regular?

Oh, God, please, no.

Why would you say that?

- Oops. - (Grace groaning)

Ooh. (gasping) - Sorry.

Uh... Okay, just think of something else, okay?

Uh... Why don't you...

You-you wanna squeeze my hand?

Just squeeze my hand.

You can keep your weasel hands

as far away from me as possible.

How about that?

Seems we have a running weasel theme here.

All right. Why don't I go do some foraging, huh?

Maybe I can find a car

that still drives or at least has a working radio.

Yeah, I think that would be wise.

You know, like my truck.

- You-- you're a dead man. - Be right back.

Here I go.

Come on, Mom, could we please try one now?

Just give it one more second to cool.

Ugh!

Don't ugh me.

Remember that Purim when you tried to eat

the hamantaschen right out of the oven?

I was like nine.

And you couldn't taste anything for a week.

That's not true.

It was two weeks

and everything tasted like hair.

You ever think about going back, to temple?

I don't know.

It's just been so long, it would...

it would be weird now.

I think it would be good for you...

you know, to get back in touch with that part of yourself.

Now more than ever.

I'll think about it, okay?

Hmm.

- Now, could we please try one? Sure.

Yes!

- Oh, wow. - They're pretty good, huh?

Pretty good?

That is the best cookie I've ever had in my life.

You know what the best part about that cookie is?

Hmm? - Calorie-free.

How?

Because, silly, they don't exist.

Um... Mom?

Yes.

Am I dead?

You're not dead.

Are you?

I'm not even here.

How am I talking to you then?

Because you need me

to be the person to tell you this.

- Tell me what? - Stop it.

Stop what?

Dying.

On two.

One, two.

God, look at him.

So young.

Kid's a hero too, apparently.

Heard he got hurt saving a little boy.

He would have been better off

if they'd never brought him back

from that cardiac out in the snow.

Yep, now he gets to torture the friends and family

for another three days.

Three days?

I've seen one go for three weeks.

No kidding. In this state?

Yup. First year out of nursing school.

Well, either way, at this point, it's a matter of when, not...

I...

We didn't mean--

Dr. Patel will be by soon with an update.

Excuse us.

Welcome home, big boy.

Oh, great.

We came home to rough it.

Marwani, you're back.

I've been trying to reach you.

Hey, did you ever manage to get in touch with the Cap?

It's nice to see you, too.

Yeah, I saw him.

In fact, he just dropped me off.

So he's back in town?

Oh, it's a whole story.

What, uh... Where is he now?

I assume home. Why?

I still got no service. Uh...

Did you get him to sign the Billy letter?

What are you doing here?

I thought you were assigned to the 129.

Captain Tatum loaned me to the 122 to help dig Paul out.

Dig Paul out? Dig him out of what?

Gym collapse over at the Providence Pasture Church.

What was he doing there?

We were all there. After the first collapse.

You are aware

that you start your stories in the middle, yeah?

- So did you get him out? - Yeah, we got him out.

So where is he?

In the hospital.

Is he okay?

Yeah, I mean, he's okay.

All right.

So... who's not?

Am I the world's biggest schmuck?

What?

I'm holding vigil for a man

who doesn't even want me in his life.

Doesn't that just scream "schmuck"?

Hell to the no.

First of all, TK loves you.

And second, where did you pick up "schmuck"?

From TK.

Must have rubbed off.

Why do you say that?

That he loves me?

Because it's true.

You've been by his side all this time.

Does he ever...

talk about me?

Honestly, not much.

I didn't think so.

But he does bite off my head

any time I bring up your name.

That makes me feel so much better.

It should, you big dummy.

He doesn't wanna hear it

because it's too painful for him,

which means he still has it bad for you.

It's obvious.

Dude loves you.

If he loves me so much...

then why did he break my heart?

How do you like the new look?

Yeah, you're right. It's pretty much just the same old look.

But no reaction, huh? Really?

How about this? This give you a reaction?

- (Buttercup whines) - Yeah.

Captain Vega.

Owen...

What's happened?

We need to talk.

(indistinct announcement over PA)

They're telling me that his body is trying to shut down.

And they say it's because his heart stopped.

But I don't think that's right,

I think it's because mine did.

You were right.

I gave up. I quit.

And it didn't-- wasn't about ego... or pride.

I wish it was.

It was about fear.

Our world imploded so spectacularly

and everybody was looking to me to put it back together and...

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to.

This time.

And so I ran away.
