DISPATCHER:
Sir, are you there?

(Danford wheezing)

Sir, can you hear me? Sir?

Sir?

-(sirens wailing)

We've been here before.

-When?
-Before you joined us, kid.

-HEN: 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.

DANFORD: 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.

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

Bitch!

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?

Where the hell
did 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...

(gunshot)

(gasping)

You want out so bad,

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

DANFORD:
Look.

-(thunder rumbling)
-It's still standing.

And she's not.

MAN:
I really can't explain it.

A fungus took hold,
spread like cancer.

Was she exposed
to any foreign objects?

DANFORD: She got sick
after being struck by a bullet.

MAN:
That's weird. Tree this size?

Come on.
There's nothing you can do?

MAN: 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.

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...
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.

-(laughs)
-It's not funny.

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

...didn't go well.

(laughter)

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.
-CHIMNEY: All right, let's stick him!

All right, let's get it.

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

-There you go.
-(both laugh)

Mwah.

(cars drive off)

-Hey.
-(door closes)

I am proud of us.

(whoops) 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?

(chuckles) 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.

(skin sizzling)

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

(mechanical rattling, click)

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?

(defibrillator squeals, thumps)

He's in V-tach!

Starting compressions.

CHIMNEY:
No. He's gone.

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

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

This is Bobby.

I-I don't understand
why you can't just tell...

-Okay, thanks.
-What's up, Cap?

That was Cedars.

Is someone sick?

The blood I donated--

they sent it to a lab
and had it tested, so...

Well, it's the first time you
donated; they have to do that

before they release it
to the blood supply.

They found something in it.

What do you mean,
found something?

They wouldn't tell me
over the phone.

They said they'd rather do it
in person.

BOBBY: I got to show you
something, Father.

I haven't shared this
with anyone else.

(church bell tolling)

Your prayer book?

I guess it is my prayer book,
in a way.

A list of names.

62, so far.

62 of 148.

One hundred and forty-eight.

The number of people who died
because of me.

These 62 names, these are people
whose lives you've saved.

Yeah.

This job, it's the only way I
know how to balance the ledger.

Not that I can ever
really do that.

But 148 lives,
I owe at least that much.

And then I can go.

Bobby, you're aware of the
Church's position on suicide.

-You're against it.
-It would cost you your eternal soul.

-Do you believe in karma?
-I believe in God's justice.

How about his sense of humor?

There's something in my blood.

Something unusual.

The doctor wouldn't tell me
over the phone.

-He wants to break it to me in person.
-I'm sorry.

So I guess the irony is,

I may not live long enough
to make it to 148,

and that scares the hell
out of me.

Because that is your penance.

And I don't know if my soul will
ever be able to rest in peace

if it goes unpaid.

Let me guess, if that bee
in your bonnet had a name,

it'd be Michael.

The guy he's seeing-- he wants
to start bringing him around,

to get to know the kids,
and I guess me.

Well, maybe that might be worth
giving him a chance.

Hell no.

It might take away
a little of the pressure.

Athena, look,
I'm just saying this.

Maybe this guy is not all bad.

Michael has a okay
track record picking 'em.

I wouldn't care if he's dating
the Dalai Lama.

I know.

Michael being with somebody else
is a hard thing.

What's hard is that somehow
we done decided

that's what's best for the kids
is that we stay together

and try to play
happy, modern family.

All that means to me
is that Michael gets to keep

having the cake of living
in my house and eating it, too,

coming and going as he pleases.

As far as I can see,
the only one doing

any heavy emotional
lifting here is me.

I'm the one who has to keep
pushing my feelings

to the side every day.

You got bigger problems
than Glenn, Athena.

Kids love their daddies,

but they follow
their mother's lead.

No matter how good Michael is
with those kids,

if you hate him...
they're gonna hate their daddy.

Money or sex?

(whispers):
Sex.

(Hen sighs)

I slept with Eva.

The hell?

I thought your ex
was still in prison.

Paroled, a few weeks ago.

I don't know what came over me.

It was-it was the night
of that full moon.

I haven't been able to look
Karen in the eye since then.

-Well, you got to tell her.
-Why?

I'm never gonna do it again.
It was a mistake.

If anything, it just reminded me
that I want to be with my wife.

I told you, I don't want
to screw this relationship up.

Your relationship
is screwed up already.

You don't cheat
on a healthy relationship.

What you did is just evidence
of how bad it is.

Now, your telling Karen
is your chance at fixing it.

It's only when secrets
are revealed that we know

how good or bad a marriage is.

Now, trust me...

I know.

Sometimes you got to...

wreck it in order to save it.

There's a lot of love
between the two of you.

-Thanks, Athena.
-Mmm.

And let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the cola.

-Michael?

Huh?

Oh. Hi, baby.
What time is it?

Half past 11:00.

-Mm.
-We need to talk.

This is the hardest thing
I've...

I've ever done, but I need to...

do it now,
while I still love you.

Okay. What is this?

The name and number
of my divorce attorney.

Oh, no, Athena. No.

Whoever you get should call him.

-Athena.
-I love you.

(voice breaking):
You're my man,

the father of my children,

my best friend.

This family... is changing.

It is what it is.

But us staying together
like this,

living in this house,

holding on
to some picture of what was...

...it's making me hate you.

If we don't really move on,

that hate is gonna be
the only thing I feel

when I think about you.

Well, what about the kids?

I spoke to them.

This is what they want and need.

Ah.

(crying)

I'm sorry, Athena.

I'm so sorry for hurting you.

I am.

I will never regret
marrying you.

I would do it all over again,
everything.

And to have those children

and you as a friend,

I would suffer all of it

a million times.

(door creaks)

You're late.

I'm sorry. I was, I was...

just driving around.

I needed to, um...
to get my mind right.

About Eva?

She's suing for custody.

That's impossible.
Our-our lawyers said that...

According to her,

we have an unstable home that's
unsuitable to raise a child.

And she's saying

the proof of this unstable home

is that you slept with her.

(scoffs)

(sighs)

Listen, baby, I-I'm sorry.

Let me just, let me,
let me just, let me explain.

I'm gonna go pack some things.

-I'm taking Denny to my parents'.
-Let me just ex...

You put our family at risk.

I don't know what it is
that you went there looking for,

but I hope you got it.

And I hope it was worth it.

Oh, no, I didn't order this.

From the gentleman.

Oh.

Um...

Oh, God.

-I'm Aaron.

Um, Athena.

I hope you don't mind me
sending that over.

Oh, well, no. I just...

(chuckles):
I just didn't realize

that people still did this.

Sending drinks over
to break the ice?

I'm pretty sure
they haven't stopped doing that.

(both laugh)

So how long have you been out
of all of this?

Um... it's-it's been a while.

-Recently separated.
-Mm-hmm.

-How recent?
-Two days.

We've been working our way
towards it for a while now.

I mean, no hard feelings.

He's, um... he's at home
with our kids,

so I-I decided to, you know,
just get out the house.

Went to a movie...

and then I got thirsty.

(both laugh)

-I just didn't feel like drinking alone.
-Mm.

I highly doubt
that you being alone

is anything
you ever have a problem with.

Ooh. Well, aren't you
Mr. Smooth?

-How'd you know my last name?
-Yeah, see?

I would've guessed
that was your middle name.

No, no. It's, uh, Chester.

For real?

Oh, your parents
hated you right away.

(both laugh)

What's your full name?

Aaron Chester Brooks.

Mm. Date of birth?

April 18, 1980.

What are you typing?

Well, I'm a cop.

Sending it to one of my friends
at the station,

run a check on you.

-Are you serious?
-Mm-hmm.

If we're gonna spend the night
talking and drinking,

I want to know I'm not wasting
my time with a bad egg.

(both laugh)

-We can toast to that.
-(glasses clink)

Hey, Chimney?

What's going on?
You all right?

Uh... come on.
I want to show you something.

Come on.

MAN:
Her name's Asha.

-She's our first.
-Uh, this is Steven.

I told him
I was bringing you by,

-and he begged me to let him talk to you.
-Bobby.

We never thought
we would get to meet her.

Instead, she's starting
out life healthy

That's because of you.

That's your blood
they rushed over here.

-Thank you.

Take care.

CHIMNEY: Now you tell me
that's the wrong kid.

Look, you're gonna see
your own kids again.

I do believe that.

But right now,

Asha and a thousand others
just like her--

they're your kids, too.

That's your blood
in their veins.

So you look at her, you look
at her and those young parents,

and you tell me
if that feels like a punishment.

No, Chim.
It's a blessing.

Exactly.

I think you better either
throw that book of yours away

or get yourself a bigger one,
'cause it seems to me

like you're here to stay.

Looks that way.

And just think, you'll only
have to give blood once.

-Every eight weeks.
-(laughs)

-For the rest of your life.
-Oh, God.

Could you explain to me again
how God's not punishing me?

-Oh, he's just teasing you.
-Yeah.
