Uh, my name is Judd, and I'm an alcoholic.

-ALL: Hi, Judd. -It's...

Yeah, I have 28 days without a drink today.

(clapping)

Twenty-eight days since my best friend

pulled me back from the ledge.

I bet it's been one of the longest months of your life.

Uh, yeah, Reverend. You could say that.

Judd, you know it's Phil here.

We're all alcoholics.

Okay, Phil.

Could you share with us some of the ways

you've gotten through it?

Uh, yeah. I--

Well, my-my buddy said that exercise helps.

So I've been doing a lot of that.

And then, uh...

I've been, I've been playing a lot of video games.

(gunfire sounds on game)

(pensive music playing)

PHIL: And some prayer, I imagine.

Yeah, a lot of prayer.

PHIL: See, that's what makes

faith-based recovery so powerful.

We can do all things through Him

who gives us strength.

It's like you told me that one time that, you know,

He'll do for me what I can't do for myself.

My wife has been on a mission trip for the last six months.

So, when I get home...

(sobriety coins clattering)

...at the end of a shift,

and I get to that empty house, it's dark.

Temptation sets in.

(pensive music continues)

And, um, He's really all I got.

PHIL: And He's always there for us, isn't he?

-MARJAN MARWANI: Hey, Tommy. -Hey, honey.

-Did we wake you? -TOMMY VEGA: No, no.

I was just resting. Yeah. Come on in.

(sighs) Well, how are we feeling today, boss?

Oh... You know, turns out chemo sucks.

Well, can we get you something? We brought some snacks.

Can I just get a glass of water, if that's okay?

-You got it. -TOMMY: Okay.

Oh, Marjan, uh, picked up some of those scarfs

I was telling you about.

-Marj, show her. -Oh, yeah.

Oh, you didn't have to do that.

MARJAN: Oh, it was no bother at all.

I bought them at the boutique I usually buy my hijabs at.

So this is all modal fabric, which means it has a little grip

and it doesn't slip or tug your hair as much.

-Oh, that would be a godsend. -Yeah.

Hey, that red one's kinda sassy, though.

You wanna try it on?

-Yeah, why not? Yeah. -MARJAN: Yeah.

(Tommy moans)

(somber music playing)

(Tommy chuckles)

May I?

Yeah.

Here we go.

So what's, what's nice about this fabric

is you don't have to pull it as tight for it to stay

'cause it doesn't slip.

You just twist...

Ta-da. Total babe.

NANCY GILLIAN: It's fire, Tommy. As usual.

Thank you, ladies.

MARJAN: Anytime.

So, do you wanna watch a movie or a TV show?

-We could play a board game. -(cell phone ringing)

I'm so sorry, I, I should,

I should take this.

(ringing continues)

Hey. (chuckles)

What's up?

Hey. So, do we like the black

or the green?

I thought we decided on baby blue.

JOE (on phone): We did, but I-I just tried it on,

and I got so nervous thinking about what this was for,

that I started sweating through it.

It was a horror show.

I told you, there's nothing to worry about.

It's just dinner.

A dinner that will literally change our lives.

-It has to go well. -MARJAN: And it will.

Look. Do I look nervous?

JOE: No, but you're Firefox,

nothing makes you nervous.

Mm. (giggles)

Just be the man that you are, and they are gonna love you.

-Okay. -MARJAN: Go with the green.

-It makes your eyes pop. -JOE: Alright.

MARJAN: Okay, I gotta go. I'll call you back.

-(ends call) -(exhales)

-(Marjan moaning) -Come, come, come, come, come, come, come.

(Tommy and Nancy chuckle)

-(Marjan sighs) -Was that your sweetie?

Yes, that's my sweetie.

But my parents are coming to town

and he's about to meet them for the first time.

-Wait. What? -MARJAN: Yeah.

Your parents are coming to town?

-MARJAN: Mm-hmm. -Do we get to meet them?

No, no. This is just a quick trip. It's, it's...

-(sighs) -Is it just me, Marj, or are you

looking a little swampy yourself right now?

Yeah, I am, because I'm nervous.

-I'm nervous as hell, okay? -(Tommy chuckles)

-But you just told Joe-- -What he needed to hear.

But in reality, you know, in my culture,

when you meet the parents is when you kinda establish

whether you're compatible or not as a couple, so this is--

-Oh, it's make-or-break time. -MARJAN: Yes.

Yes. The pressure is on.

(sizzling)

(indistinct station PA announcement)

TK STRAND: This is such crap.

There's a police car bed, a fire truck bed,

but look, there's, there's no ambos.

That's because the anti-EMS bias

starts at the cradle.

Yeah, or toddler beds.

Wait, you say, uh, beds? Are you bed shopping?

-I'm trying. -(Paul laughs)

So, that means that you and Carlos

are gonna adopt your little brother?

I mean, that's the hope.

But our adoption attorney said

we should take the state test before we bring it up with Enzo.

(pan sizzling)

-Hey! -(clicking tongs)

Y'all, come on, breakfast is ready.

Chicken and waffles? What? Judd!

-And brown sugar butter syrup. -TK: Mm.

PAUL STRICKLAND: Damn, Judd, you went all out!

-Mm-hmm. -What is the special occasion?

Well, you know how they say, uh, live every day

like it could be your last, right?

MATEO CHAVEZ: Yeah, not me.

I'm on protein shakes for a month.

I gotta get ripped up for the AFD calendar.

I have to look like a god.

(grunts)

-Don't be jealous. -(laughter)

Thanks, Judd.

So, you were going for Poseidon, huh?

Yeah, I forgot to mention, the nozzle is still a little wonky. (chuckles)

That's not funny, bro.

Now I gotta do a full re-gel!

Where exactly in the building are you?

CALLER: I'm in the firing range.

-I was instructing a student. -(bullets ricocheting)

He pulled the trigger, the whole place flashed over.

Your student? Can you tell me what his status is?

CALLER: I think he got knocked out,

but he's waking up.

I'm gonna get you outta here.

One with a GSW.

(bullets whizzing)

Any idea how much ammo they're storing?

They're a wholesaler, so the bullet count

could be in the millions.

We need SWAT here right now!

They're already engaged in a standoff downtown.

Gotta get close to make an extraction.

Hey, everybody, could I have the room, please? Thanks.

staring into that fire like you were looking into the void.

I mean, I, I lost my bearings in there for a minute, you know?

It was smoky. There was gunfire going off everywhere.

It was hell in there.

It didn't look like you were in any hurry to get out.

What are you suggesting, I was trying to off myself?

(sighs deeply)

I don't know. Were you?

No. God, no. What-- No. It's me.

OWEN: I know in recovery,

sometimes you have to walk through some really dark places,

and I just, I just want you to know that, uh...

you don't have to do it alone.

I do.

Speaking of, I got a meeting later today.

-Big one, if you wanna join. -Wouldn't miss it.

Well, alright, I'll see ya.

I can't wait to skip to the part when we're married.

I know, me too.

Soon enough.

As long as we don't crash and burn.

As long as we don't crash and burn.

But, no, you-you said that your parents are going to love me.

Well, they will. They will.

It's just, uh, they can be

slightly intimidating people,

but as long as we stay strong, calm,

on the same page,

-we got this. Yeah. -JOE: We got this.

(both trill, chuckle)

Uh, just one thing. One thing.

Um, we're gonna go with your full name Yusuf, okay?

-What's wrong with Joe? -Nothing's wrong with it.

It's just Yusuf's more traditional.

Uh, okay.

-NASREEN MARWANI: Marjan! -Hi.

(chuckles nervously)

-Hi, Mahmah. -(gasps) Hi.

(squeals) Hi, Baba.

Our little Mouse. We've missed you so much.

Okay. Mom, Dad, this, this is Yusuf.

-Yusuf, this is my mom, Nasreen. -It's an honor.

MARJAN: And this is my dad, Waleed.

As-Salaam-Alaikum.

Walaikum salaam.

-So, uh... -NASREEN: Oh!

-JOE: My, my bad. -It's okay.

Uh, let's go to the table.

MARJAN: Yes!

My bad. I should have told you

that it's three kisses in Lebanese culture.

Yep.

And Yusuf was actually

my physical therapist,

but I had no idea he was Muslim

until I literally bumped into him in the Halal market.

-Oh. -It was meant to be.

-God works in mysterious ways. -(Marjan laughs)

You have siblings?

Yeah. My two sisters still live in Atlanta,

um, but my baby brother is in Houston finishing up his PhD.

-NASREEN: Oh. -And Yusuf basically raised them.

NASREEN: Mm.

Yeah, my, my parents died when I was 17,

uh, car accident.

-Oh. -Condolences.

(sighs) I'm so sorry.

They had a beautiful marriage.

They, they cherished each other every day.

It's the kinda marriage that I hope to have with your daughter

if you give us your blessing.

We wanna spend the rest of our lives together.

JOE: Hmm.

Well, it's obvious to us you love each other very much.

Yay! Okay. I told you they'd see it.

Yeah. You did.

But love isn't nearly enough.

A successful marriage isn't just a contract of love.

It's one of, uh, logistics.

Yeah, yeah, logistics. We, we love logistics.

We talk about logistics all the time.

-Isn't that right, Yusuf? -Yes.

One of our top five subjects. (clicks tongue)

-Logistics. -Logistics. Yeah.

(both chuckle nervously)

You will see. You will see, Mahma. You will see, Baba.

Our logistics are in absolute total alignment.

Good. So, have you discussed

where you would live after the wedding?

We, we talked about her moving into my apartment.

NASREEN: Of course.

Until you save enough to buy a home.

Uh, no, we-- I think we'll be fine

in just the apartment, right?

Mouse, you grew up in such a beautiful home.

You don't want that for your own children?

I mean, I'm not against it.

Yeah.

But we agree that kids will be happy

wherever you give 'em love. Right, Marjan?

Mm-hmm. Right.

Not even a garden to play in?

You don't remember, day and night

you were kicking around the soccer ball?

I m-- I mean, uh, it'd be nice to have a yard, yeah.

Well, there are parks all around Austin.

And what happens in them after dark?

Exactly.

Yeah. We get a lot of calls to parks.

Okay. Okay.

Yusuf, have you decided how many children you would like to have?

Well, I'm one of four, so we talked about going for that.

Four.

WALEED MARWANI: Four children?

In a tiny apartment?

It's not tiny. Lofted, a lot of space.

Well... four's "a" number, you know, it's not "the" number.

That's not something we get to decide anyway.

That's up to God.

Who's going to be taking care of these kids

while you both are working?

JOE: Well, we, we won't both be working.

-NASREEN: Oh. -Because once we start a family,

I will be staying at home with the kids,

taking care of them full-time.

You're going to quit your job?

I love kids, and Marjan makes more money than me anyways.

It just... it just makes more sense.

So, our daughter risks her life to support you

while you stay in the apartment.

-This is your plan? -Not my plan. It's...

This is our plan.

-Right, Marjan? -MARJAN: Mm-hmm.

-JOE: Mm-hmm? -WALEED: Mm-hmm?

MARJAN: Mm-hmm.

What is this, "Mm-hmm"?

Mouse? Mouse? Look at me. Look at me.

Are you really okay with this?

I'm okay with this. Well, yeah.

It's an idea. It's an idea we've been floating around.

It's not, you know, concrete.

We can talk about it. Let's all talk about it. What do you think?

I think you might want to reconsider.

-The plan? -WALEED: Mm...

The marriage.

PHIL: God says my strength is made perfect in weakness.

And that's what being here is all about, isn't it?

To acknowledge our fallibility, our humanness,

so that He can lift us up.

Alright, well, I like to close with sobriety birthdays.

Anybody celebrating a 30-, 60-, or 90-day today?

Yeah, we got one right here. Thirty days.

-(group clapping) -PHIL: Alright. Give him a chip.

You wanna say a few words?

JUDD: No, no. I'm good. Thank you.

Congratulations, Judd.

Thank you, Reverend.

What happened to the hand?

Oh, uh, got this on a call.

There was a fire at a gun range.

-PHIL: Fire at a gun range? -JUDD: Yeah.

PHIL: Wow. Never a dull day, right?

(tense music playing)

I appreciate you being here tonight, Owen.

I appreciate you being on this, this whole journey with me.

Happy to do it.

JUDD: Oh... (sighs)

You really think you should have taken that chip today?

You're the one who told me to put my hand up.

OWEN: Judd.

You had the bandage on your hand

before we went on the call.

(tense music continues)

Okay.

-Wait. You got me. -OWEN: But what were you doing?

Break it on a beer bottle? Did you fall down drinking?

JUDD: Yeah, I had a few drinks.

Yes, I did, but it's not a big deal.

I mean, sometimes a man's gotta do

what he's gotta do to get through,

so he can get out, and that's, that's life.

No. That is a lie.

And just about the most dangerous one

people like us can tell ourselves.

JUDD: Oh.

Well, I'll tell you what, uh...

since we don't really know each other, Reverend,

how about you just stay out of this?

You know, we don't know each other

because you spent the last month

lying every time you were in here.

And I say that without judgment.

-Right. -Lying is part of the disease.

But you can't get better until you own it.

Until I own what, precisely?

The rage.

I've never met an alcoholic who wasn't filled with it.

The harder you try to stuff it down,

the more it fights its way out in ways that you cannot control.

Okay.

(weak laugh)

I have some rage.

I do. I have some rage. I have some rage.

Maybe I'm upset and angry about the fact

that my daughter doesn't live at our home anymore.

Did she move out?

(sighs) Charlie... stays with her grandparents

because she said it's too hard to be at home without Mommy.

And she's right about that. She's right.

So, okay, maybe I need a little, a little bit of courage

to fortify me before I get into that empty bed every night. Okay?

Now we're gettin' somewhere.

'Cause when I get home, it's gonna be me

and my demons alone, and that's that.

Well, how about if you're not alone?

What if I look after you 24/7?

What are you gonna do? You gonna move in with me?

Yes! Hell, yes. Move in.

That way, when the demons come,

they gotta get through both of us.

So, what the hell was that? You hung me out to dry.

I've never seen you so thirsty for someone's approval.

-It's 'cause you've never seen me around my parents. -Mm-hmm.

-They're intimidating people. Remember, I told you that? -Yeah.

Look, it's not the end of the world.

They said they're not going to give us their blessing, Marjan.

Uh-uh-uh, they said that we need

to seriously reconsider some things.

That's not a "no." That's just a "not yet."

So what do we do from here?

Maybe we just take a beat and get back to them.

Okay. When?

I don't know, they're coming to visit for Eid next year.

Maybe we just talk to them then.

Next year?

-(sighs) Yeah. -No way.

I cannot do this for another year.

(scoffs) Okay. Is courting me that painful?

Yes, it is, actually.

It breaks my heart every time we have to say goodbye

and go our separate ways.

I wanna wake up next to you every morning.

To hold you, to kiss you.

(chuckles)

I'm ready to spend our lives together.

Me too.

I would marry you tomorrow if I could.

Me too.

Then call your parents.

Beg 'em for another sit-down.

Tell 'em how you really feel.

Tell 'em that we need a second chance.

Joe, this is not how this works.

You don't even wanna try?

The woman that I fell in love with is a fighter.

Just not with them.

It's like, I guess, our entire future

comes down to one question.

Are you a Firefox or are you a Mouse?

Damn! So he used both of your nicknames against you?

(clicks tongue) That's cold.

Sounds like he gave you an ultimatum.

-Pretty much. -So what you gonna do?

What is there to do? My parents made their decision.

It's my duty as their daughter to respect it.

Even if it means losing Joe?

I was raised to respect my elders.

But he's your person.

PAUL: I'm sorry, at the end of the day,

what's more important to you,

your parent's approval or being happy?

That's the thing that you guys don't understand.

Without my parents' approval, I don't think I can be happy.

So I guess either way I'm just screwed, you know?

Copy that, Cap.

So, what, uh, you babysittin' me when we're at this house too?

I can't let you out in the field till I know your head's on right.

Well, what the hell am I supposed to do while I'm here?

I don't know. You can start by fixing that.

BECCA: My advanced sculpture final.

I'm making a bust of--

-My bust. -BECCA: Yeah.

And we called 9-1-1 because?

Uh, it's kinda stuck to her?

Because it's fused to my skin.

Becca forgot to apply oil before she put the plaster on.

I was in a creative flow state.

chip some of this off, okay?

STEPH: Okay.

Okay.

Hey, Steph, I'm Nancy, that's TK.

We're gonna check you out.

Are you feeling any pain?

-Well, I'm-- -She's fine. Right?

Thanks, but I'm curious what she thinks.

It does sting a little, actually.

Why didn't you say anything?

I did, but you weren't listening.

Pulse ox is 96. BP's 130 over 80.

So you're telling me it stings a little,

but your blood pressure is telling me it stings a lot.

I didn't wanna say anything,

but it feels like it's, like, getting hot or something.

We need to get this thing off her now.

Uh, it's probably the lye in the plaster.

When it comes in contact with your skin for too long,

it can cause chemical burns.

Oh, it's really starting to burn!

Okay, we need ideas here, people. What are we thinking?

TK: Hey, uh, has anybody broken their arm before?

What's the first thing they tell you when you get a cast?

Don't get it wet. Okay, Steph.

The water should have softened it up.

And now I'm gonna just drill some small holes in there.

(tool whirring)

We're gonna put some oil inside the holes,

and that'll help separate the plaster from your skin.

-(tense music playing) -(tool whirring)

Nancy, just keep them wet.

-Fill them with that oil. -(Steph groaning)

I got you.

I knew this was a terrible idea.

I don't even like art, much less art school.

I just wanted to stay on the farm in Lufkin.

Then why didn't you?

'Cause my sister...

she's always looked out for me.

Well, I don't know if she did today.

It's just really hard to say no to her.

♪♪

You know what? You're right. This is the last straw.

I'm gonna finally say something to her.

-Right after you get this off. -Good for you.

Speaking of, let's turn the water off.

I'm just gonna put a few scores in this, okay?

STEPH: Okay.

-(tool whirring) -MARJAN: Don't worry.

It's nothing that's gonna hurt.

And... if that worked, this should...

-kind of just pop right off. -(tapping)

-(plaster cracks) -There we go.

-NANCY: Alright. Burn-free. -(Steph and Marjan chuckle)

(Steph sighs)

(light music playing)

-Success? -NANCY: Yes.

We were able to remove it before she got a chemical burn.

Oh, thank God. I was so worried about you.

I'm fine. I just had some mild skin irritation.

It doesn't even hurt now.

Good. Okay.

Well, look, we can get you oiled up

and re-plastered.

Uh, you're not seriously asking her to do that again, are you?

Yeah. My project's due tomorrow. Half my grade is riding on it.

You're cool with it, right, Steph?

♪♪

Yeah. Sure.

Steph.

You just went through so much misery.

You heard her. Half her grade's riding on it.

She's my big sister.

-Yeah, but-- -NANCY: Forget it, Marj.

She's just respecting her elders.

(loud banging)

OWEN: Whoa! Easy, easy.

That thing's Danish.

Well, maybe that's why nothing fits.

No, you don't need to use that kinda leverage on it.

(Judd sighs)

You gonna give me another lecture about my rage?

No, you're not gonna get rid of your rage

until you deal with your resentments.

Who do I resent?

(light, tense music playing)

You think I resent Grace?

-I mean-- -Why would I resent her?

I know she was following a calling,

but Charlie doesn't have a mom at home, and you're left alone.

I ain't mad at Grace about that.

I'm mad at the lie that took her away.

What lie is that?

Man, ain't nobody in the sky looking out for us.

Ain't no master plan.

When did you lose your faith?

The other night, I tried sending Grace a voice text.

(voice breaking) Grace, this is me asking you to come home.

This is my 9-1-1.

I reached out to God and I said,

if you're there, will you please give me a sign?

And?

You wanna know what came back?

Nothing?

JUDD: No, it was worse than nothing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

If that ain't clear, I don't know what is.

Try that.

greater than ourselves?

Sure.

So what do you do when you know there ain't nobody there?

-A tire? -(tire screeches)

CALLER (on phone): Oh, it smashed a car, man!

-Is this a joke? -CALLER: No, it's not a joke, dude.

There's your sign.

-MARJAN: Hi, Mahmah. -Hi.

-MARJAN: Hi. -(both chuckle)

-Hi, Baba. -Hello.

Oh, thank you guys so much for coming.

I know you don't have much time left on your trip.

Are you kidding? There is no one we'd rather spend it with than our Mouse.

Your father wants to do an escape room.

I saw one online, bank robbers in the Old West.

I love the Wild West.

Yeah, that could, that could be fun.

Fun, fun, fun.

Mouse, is everything alright?

Me? Me, everything's great. Why?

It's just that you are sweating.

Oh, yes, I am. (chuckles) I am sweating.

You know, it's funny 'cause I've noticed

that I've been sweating a lot, actually, lately. Excessively.

And I wondered if it was this new supplement

that I've been taking as a, you know, side effect.

And, uh, I've been running real hot

so it's crazy that I keep choosing

to meet you guys outside 'cause... Whew.

It's not terribly hot.

Perhaps you should get your thyroid checked.

Have you checked your thyroid yet?

No, no, I haven't, and I think that's a really good idea.

And I'm-- (sighs) I'm doing it again.

-WALEED: Uh, doing what? -The Mouse thing.

What "Mouse thing"?

Where the moment I feel

the slightest hint of disapproval from either of you,

I start scurrying for cover, and I'm done.

I'm done scurrying.

My thyroid's fine, but everything is not okay.

(gentle music playing)

What's going on?

You said Yusuf and I need to reconsider if we're a match.

Yes.

Respectfully, I disagree.

-Is that so? -Yes, it is so.

I know you have a problem with him staying at home,

but he has already proven

that he is going to be an amazing dad.

And the truth is, I love my job,

and I'm never gonna wanna give that up.

I know it's not what you want for me,

but I hope to God you will give me your blessing

because it's what I want for me, and I am so, so sure of it.

Okay.

Okay? Okay what?

You have our blessing. (soft chuckle)

What?

Wait. That's it?

-NASREEN: That's it. -That's it.

If you're so, so sure, then I am sure.

All we ever wanted was for you to be happy.

Then why did you give us such a hard time at dinner?

Because you were so all over the place that we didn't think

it was what you really wanted.

I just wish Yusuf were here so I could shake his hand.

-He goes by Joe. -Joe?

MARJAN and NASREEN: Joe.

Well, then Joe it is.

-Is he free today? -Yes.

And he was hoping--

-Well, we were hoping... -NASREEN: Yes?

...that we could start planning the wedding together.

You wanna start doing that today?

Yes, because we don't have much time

if we're gonna get married before you guys leave.

Why so fast?

Because we are done waiting.

We are ready to start our life together.

I always thought you wanted a big wedding.

And I still plan to have one.

How are you going to do that with such a short notice?

Oh, don't you worry about that.

-I know people. -NASREEN: Oh.

PAUL: Hey, how'd you do?

Dispatch is gonna bypass all the house's calls

for the next four hours.

Four? Oh, you got an extra hour out of them?

-OWEN: Mm-hmm. -You're the man, Cap.

-I do what I can. -(Paul laughs)

Uh, what's going on with catering?

Uh, Kefta truck is en route and the cake has just landed.

-And the band? -PAUL: Warming up outside.

How we looking, boys?

I don't know.

I still think it's a little bit thin on the left.

Can y'all please tell him it's fine?

OWEN: It's a little bit thin on the left.

CARLOS REYES: Mm!

Guys, how's that stain coming?

JUDD: It ain't gone yet.

(scoffs) I told you to use the buffer.

Yeah, well, I told you to use an oil pan

when you were cleaning the engine truck.

Gentlemen. It's time.

ALL: Walaikum salaam.

IMAM: I wanna thank the 126 for having us here today.

Some of you may think this is a strange venue for a wedding,

but the Quran says, "Whoever saves one life,

it is as though he has saved all mankind."

And by that standard, we are truly on hallowed ground.

According to Islam, you are married in the eyes of God

only when you sign the wedding contract, the nikah,

in the presence of witnesses.

Marjan has chosen her father and Joe, his brother,

as a witness to their union.

Marjan, do you accept Joe's proposal of marriage?

One billion percent yes.

IMAM: Very good.

Please sign there.

-And Joe-- -What she said.

Then may Allah bless and unite you in goodness

for all your days.

You are now husband and wife.
