I know what you expect me to do. You realize what's happening in just 36

right? I'm guilt -free. I didn't forget Hen's birthday last year. You guys did.

I sent her a text.

Listen, you guys need to be here. The surprise at Hen's surprise birthday

can't be that half the team is missing.

I don't know what to tell you. Well, they know when this mess is going to get

figured out. All I know is some software glitch.

All flights out of Nashville have been grounded until further notice.

Also, I think I lost Buck.

Find him, I guess, and keep me updated.

Was that Eddie?

Yeah?

You weren't shaming them for tying for first in the firefighter games, were

There is no tying for first. That's just two second places.

Hey!

Where have you been?

I ran to the car.

You ran to the car?

Look, we can sit in this terminal for God knows how long, or...

We can get in a car and it's a straight shot, 30 hours. We'll take turns

driving, windows down, tunes cranked.

It'll be fun.

Don't you cry.

Uh -huh. True lies. Sure. See you, too.

Kindergarten cop.

No way that makes top five.

What do you mean? That's vintage Arnold. That's B -plus at best.

Once I rose above the noise and confusion,

there's a dead glimpse beyond your illusion.

Yeah. When was the last time we went on a road trip like this?

2021, St. Angelo fire. Yeah, that was awesome.

It was a natural disaster.

So fun.

You know, this is a great idea, Buck.

This was a terrible idea.

It looks like an overturned tanker truck up ahead.

So much for Han's birthday.

What? No, we can still make it. We're not even out of Oklahoma yet. They'll

this thing cleaned up and we'll be sailing. Right into that storm that was

supposed to hit the Rocky Mountains that we were barely going to beat.

Okay, so we avoid the Rocky Mountains.

Can't avoid the Rocky Mountains.

We can if we go south.

By 10?

Exactly.

Everybody's got the same maps and GPS apps, Buck.

But we have something they don't have.

Me.

lost we're not lost okay where are we i don't have signal but probably still

in new mexico maybe just mexico okay we didn't go that far south this whole

thing has gone south i can't believe i let you talk me into this what is that

supposed to mean it wasn't code we should have stayed on i -40 why so you

whine about the traffic and bitch about the rocky mountain i wasn't whining or

bitching oh please you started at the airport everybody was bitching at the

airport i wasn't

Okay, I was trying to be upbeat. I was trying to be a problem solver.

Anything to stop you doing what you always do. Get gloomy.

It didn't work.

There's got to be a gas station or a coffee shop or something around here

we can ask for actual directions.

Well, good.

I'm just here to ask for directions.

Whatever, man.

You boys, find a seat anywhere. I'll be there in a minute.

No. No, no, no, no.

What are you doing?

She said sit anywhere.

Come on. You really think we're going to make it back in time for Ren's

birthday? Probably not now.

Exactly. So we're not in a rush. Might as well fuel up before we hit the road.

Besides, you get cranky when you don't eat.

Last chance. Are you sure?

Somebody sure had a healthy appetite.

Oh, it was so good.

Can I get you boys anything else? No. We have a long drive ahead of us.

Okay. Where are you headed?

Oh, yeah. Los Angeles. Driving from Nashville.

Funny route to take.

Our navigation failed us.

Hey, how do we get back to the I -10 from here? Sure, that's easy. You're

to take this road. Out here it's called Center Street. Go down until you hit

Route 280.

Just keep going west and you can't miss it.

You know, if you didn't want to get off the I -40, you didn't have to. No one

had a gun to your head. No, I had a buck in my ear.

Oh, so you just do whatever I tell you.

path of least resistance with you buckley so if i said jump off a bridge

would just do it oh you know actually i probably wouldn't even have to say it

you'd already be jumping seeing as you have a death wish not my death i'm

wishing for right now oh it's mine you're threatening me so we get a little

a little off track and suddenly you're all dark and gloomy and i deserve to die

here there's a fork put it in my neck put me out of my misery kill me eddie

me now why not you're all done

What the hell are you looking at?

Not a thing.

We just don't see a lot of your kind around here at all.

What's that supposed to mean, huh? Okay, hey, ignore it. No, no, no. I want to

know what our kind is.

You can tell me, princess.

Princess? Really? All right. How about this, Stretch? How about we go outside

and show the princess, ladies? We're not doing this. Eddie, sit down. Why don't

you sit down? No, come on, Eddie.

Harley, I think it's about time you and your boys were home annoying your wife.

Look, I'm sorry I called you below me.

Forget it.

And I'm sorry I got us lost.

No, you were right. We both decided to go the back roads.

Where the hell did this idiot come from?

Very cool.

Nice. Real tough.

Watch out, watch out, watch out.

Hang on.

Should I call 911?

You got service?

No, I don't.

What's going on?

You were in a car accident, but you're all right.

What about my friend? How is he?

Sorry, which friend?

The other guy.

In the car.

Edwin Buckley. We were driving back to L .A. together.

Mr. Diaz, you've had a serious concussion.

C .T. rolled out subdural bleeding, but...

Some confusion is normal.

Confusion? What are you talking about?

There was nobody else in the car with you.

You were alone.

Mr. Diaz, I'm Sheriff Woodson, Deputy Toros.

Did you find him? We're still looking.

We've combed a 10 -mile radius.

Canines, ATVs.

Haven't found this Evan Buckley or anybody else.

Then we need more resources.

Why don't you tell me what happened right before you drove off the road?

We didn't drive off the road. We were forced off.

Right, you told one of my boys a jacked -up pickup truck.

An older model, with floodlights on the top and on the grill guard. You get a

plate? No, we were blinded.

But I'm pretty sure I know who it was.

We had a...

I wouldn't say a run -in at the diner.

These three dirtbags trying to start something. It seemed like maybe they

locals. I see.

Well, we questioned nine locals from that diner.

What they recall is you and your friend, Mr. Buckley.

They call him Buck.

Cute. My wife calls me Woody.

What we heard is you and him had some sort of spat escalated to a fistfight.

We had words. My mistake.

I think we jotted a few of those words.

Now you want to murder me.

Is that what you want?

Oh, come on. Do you honestly believe that I did something to Buck?

I say that.

Did I say that?

No, if you did, I missed it.

This is crazy.

Talk to the waitress. Talk to the cook.

He's the one that chased those guys out with the shotgun, all right? You need to

find them. You need to question them. Maybe they took him. Now, why would they

want to do that?

Ask them.

Rest assured, we'll follow up any promising leads.

Meantime, Doc Kenner advised you stay put for a couple days for an orthopedist

to check your wing.

Tiffany Torres will be right outside if you need anything.

You know, it's a rough day at the office when you go in with a broken back or a

misdemeanor battery charge.

I've seen uglier workplace disputes.

Speaking of, your co -worker has a big day coming up. Oh, it's in my calendar

scrawled across my walls and tattooed to the back of my eyelid.

Hey, Edmundo, how's the open road?

You guys kill each other yet?

What? You guys okay?

Athena, wait.

No one saw him leave?

There were no witnesses to the crash?

It was a pretty deserted stretch of road.

So who's looking for him? Local authorities have already searched the

surrounding area. I'm sure they've expanded it by now.

I know he's out there alone, confused and in pain.

He could have also been helped.

Someone could have been driving by, picked him up.

Then why hasn't he called? I don't know, but I don't think we should assume...

What else is there?

He's missing from a car wreck in the middle of nowhere.

He could be anywhere.

Well, I think that these jeans survived, but I think the blood on this shirt is

going to be a whole lot more stubborn.

No, no, no.

Don't try to sit up.

You've had one heck of an accident.

An accident?

Well, you probably don't remember now.

How come I'm not in the hospital?

Well, there's nothing they can do for you there that I can't do for you here,

honey. Lie down, lie down.

Hey,

I... I know you.

Well,

I should think so.

You worked at the diner.

Bonnie, that's your name, isn't it? You playing games with me now, Derek?

Here. Okay, I know you took a spill, but you can't pretend not to know your own

mother. My mother?

You know, I always hated that motorcycle.

I thank God that you are still in one piece, but I will not miss that bike. It

scared me to death every time you got on it. I think now you know why.

Lady, what are you talking about?

Where's Eddie?

Who's Eddie?

All right, now, I need my phone. Where's my phone?

It was smashed to bits like a bucket. I don't have a bike. Yeah, well, not

anymore.

No, no. Okay. What did I tell you?

You need to be still.

Don't make me tie you down.

Everything is going to be just fine, baby. I promise.

Okay?

All I can see is where his phone was the last time he had service. Now it's

either out of range or turned off. Or destroyed.

What's the location?

Diner off Route 280.

Yep. That's the place to start.

Only problem is, Chef's already been there.

I don't know if he's lazy or just protecting his pals.

Just not taking it seriously.

How much more serious can this get?

He thinks I murdered Buck.

What's the name of this sheriff?

Yes, ma 'am. I'm sniffing every inch between that diner and the MVC. But it's

big country and I only got so many dogs.

Then call for backup.

You called me.

Are you my backup?

Do I need to be?

Because you should also be looking for three persons of interest.

I already spoke to those three persons. Their story's checked out. Right now,

I'm looking at one guy.

Mid -30s. We put him on the scene.

No alibi, plus an angry streak.

Sir, Eddie Diaz is no killer.

He's a combat veteran. You think he never pulled a trigger?

You don't know a thing about the man.

Correct. I only know the 863 residents of Los Nietos. I got a lot to learn

your friend Edmundo.

You sound like you're the king out there. Maybe you are every other day of

year. But today, you're going to go and do your damn job.

Right after lunch.

What did I tell you about staying put?

Running a little hot.

I think I need to see a doctor.

No. What do doctors know?

A fever after a car accident.

It could be internal bleeding.

Bone trauma.

Blood clots.

Well, we will just keep an eye on that.

Why are you doing this?

Where's my friend? Where's Eddie?

I'm just doing what any mother would do.

But I do not think what you need now are visitors. You need to rest.

Mr. Diaz, you have a new roommate, Mr. Calderon.

Promise he won't disturb you.

Um, just leave the clothes on the bed.

And you shouldn't be out of bed.

I'm back there right now.

All right.

So I get the sheriff to stop looking at me and start looking for Buck.

Okay, that's why I'm calling.

I'm going to walk you through exactly what to do.

I already know what you're about to say.

Don't rush in.

Don't do anything suspicious.

Actually, I was going to ask you if there's a window, because I think you

to go out of it.

That's not going to make me look less suspicious.

It will not.

But this isn't about you right now.

It's about Buck.

And you're the only one that we have on the ground there who could find him

alive.

So we need you to get out there and figure out who these men in the diner

before it's too late.

I'm gonna do this.

I'm gonna need some pants.

So sorry, Mr. Calderon.

Where is the diner from where you are?

Honestly, I have no idea.

Well, you need to get there. And without attracting undue attention.

Options are limited.

But there are options.

You weren't supposed to get out of bed.

You can't keep me here, Bonnie.

People are going to be looking for me.

People.

People give up.

Like those doctors, they gave up. They said there was no hope for you. And look

at you now. You're on the mend.

Just as handsome as always.

I'm not Derek.

And you know it.

Okay, I'm Derek.

I'm Derek.

I'm Derek.

I'm Derek.

I'm Derek. I'm Derek.

That's better.

All right, now you catch your breath.

And when I get back, you best be in that bed.

Not a peep.

I think it's time to confiscate his phone for evidentiary purposes.

And to keep him from getting his friends in L .A. to bug the crap out of me.

Son of a bitch.

Gracias por llevarme.

De nada, amigo.

Can I get you?

Some information, actually. I was here last night.

The three guys at that table.

I'm looking to find them, maybe get their names.

One was about 6 '2", 6 '3", denim, baseball cap. You're describing 90 % of

clientele. They drove a jacked -up pickup truck.

A lot of floodlights.

The cook on duty, he knew them.

That would have been Earl. He's not in. Can you call Earl?

Not in to keep my job.

He's asleep today.

There was a waitress.

A little bit older.

Maybe she remembers.

That's Bonnie. Bonnie Sheets.

Is she around?

Until Wednesday. Sorry.

Do you have her address?

Maybe I can get her number.

Hon, I can't share somebody else's personal information, but you can have

number.

Sheets. Bonnie Sheets.

How do you get this phone, though?

Sheets.

Bonnie Sheets. There she is. She's got a landline. Hold on.

No answer. It went to her machine.

You got an address?

Got that, too. I'm mapping it.

Okay, she's 18 miles from you, about a 30 -minute drive.

Send me the location.

I'll call you when I'm there.

I thought you forgot about me, Mom.

No. I'm so hungry.

Will you make me something to eat?

I will.

Of course I will.

You have to lie down in the bed now, okay?

Okay, Mom.

Go on.

You need some help, Mom?

Don't be silly.

You know I can balance five platters on one arm and refill your iced tea at the

same time.

Now, I cut it in the diagonal the way you like it, but I want you to be

because this could be still very hot.

What are you doing?

I don't want to hurt you.

I don't want to hurt you.

No more.

Where do you think you're going to go?

There's nothing around.

You boys have any room for dessert?

That all depends, Bonnie.

By the time you get off work.

You're a funny Harley.

Lorraine, know how funny you are?

Smells good.

We're just here for directions.

You boys, find a seat anywhere.

I'll be there in a minute.

Are they okay?

Table five, you see him?

Yeah, I see him.

I swear, Earl, when he walked in for a minute, I thought it was him.

It's not him, Bonnie.

Oh, but I could be.

This time, maybe I could be.

Bonnie, honey, listen to me.

We don't have to do this.

Take him back up to the house, and I'll fix it so he can't get out of that room

and start over.

Too late for that.

He ruined it.

Yeah, but you were so sure about it. What's wrong?

I just think he needs more time.

Look at him, Earl.

How much time do you think he's got? He's sick.

He'll get better. You'll make him better.

But he needs a doctor.

And we can't call a doctor. It's got to be done, Earl. There is no way around

it.

You know, it can't be wrong for this part.

I know.

When I divorced you, you were always weak.

I think he's got the name for someone at the New Mexico State Police. She's

going to rattle some cages. He's not picking up. Who? Eddie.

I'm going out there.

I'm going to pack a couple of things, and then I'm going to get in my car.

He'd do the same for me.

He did the same for me. I know.

Okay. Thank you.

Sorry about Eric, Bonnie.

Motorcycle accident.

When did that happen?

14 years ago.

You didn't even get a chance to say bye.

I know what that's like.

Not with a child.

I can't even imagine.

I lost someone too last year.

He was like a father to me.

First person who ever saw me as well and just grew up.

And now he's gone.

Sometimes I don't know who I am without him.

You know, you're the first person I said that to.

I can't replace him, Bonnie.

I can't bring him back.

You have all I can do.

Try and let him go.

And that's what you have to do.

You have to let Eric go.

What the hell?

By facing the truth.

No matter how hard it is.

I'm sorry, I don't know how.

Hey! Someone's coming!

It's your friend, isn't it?

He survived?

We weren't trying to kill nobody, Bonnie. That was never the idea.

Well, how does he know?

He doesn't. Janelle texted me. He stopped by the diner. He's looking for

not us.

Hello! What are we going to do if he comes down here? Well, let's hope he's

then. You can't let him.

Please.

He has a son.

Christopher is 15 years old.

And he's all he has.

I'll do anything.

I'll beat Eric.

It's convincing to me.

Patty!

Oh, you're here to read the meters?

No. I'm looking for someone.

You waited on my friend and me at the diner last night.

Oh, I surely did, too.

I thought your boys were headed back to Los Angeles.

They were.

We got run off the road.

Oh, no.

My friend's missing.

Yeah, really?

Yeah.

Looking for those guys that we nearly got into it with at your diner. Seemed

like you knew them.

Oh, yeah. Harley Wilcox.

Nate and Petey Armstrong were with them.

There's one of them that happened to drive an older model.

Jacked up pickup truck.

Lots of floodlights.

That sounds about right.

Any idea where I can find them?

Well, they all work out of the oil fields.

You know how to get there?

Sure. You know the road you came in on? You just take that back down all the way

to Country Road 9 and then pull it left. Keep going.

You'll see the pumps.

All right. Thank you.

Hey, I hope you'll find your friend okay.

Thanks.

He's your son too, isn't he?

You want to let him go, but she won't let you.

That's what this is about for you.

Oh, son, I have long since forgot what this is about.

Well, guess I can't let you go now.

You can do this, I know. Fuck!

I take it that's your friend.

Yeah, the one I murdered?

Yeah, that's him.

What are you doing here? Looking for you.

Janelle, the big griddle says you were asking after Bonnie. I just wanted to

know why.

I was looking for that.

I didn't think I'd find it here, though.

Okay? You're going to be okay.

I'll be okay.

You're going to be okay.

You look like hell.

You should see the other guy.

I am the other guy.

I know.

Honey, why don't I just call the leaves? You know they'll take the kids. I'll go

with you. Don't be ridiculous. You have a firehouse to captain. I'll call you

from the roof.

Oh, it's an unknown number. Hold on.

Hello?

It's Buck.

What did the doctor say? I'm cleared to travel. No blood clots yet, no fever.

He just wants us to stop every 90 minutes so I can walk around a bit, just

safe. You make sure you do that, Eddie.

You haven't seen what we're driving yet.

We may both be walking.

Okay, hey, put on the birthday girl. We might not have service once we hit the

highway. She's not here.

We can wait.

When's she getting there?

She's not coming.

She's not coming to her own surprise party. Why not?

Well, evidently, Karen planned a surprise birthday weekend in Napa.

Karen didn't tell anybody?

She was afraid I'd ruin the surprise.

Well, yeah, but she knew you had this planned.

No. No, she didn't. He didn't tell Karen what he was inviting them to.

Why the hell not?

I was afraid she'd ruin the surprise.

We could have just waited for our flight.

Sure, you could have, but you wouldn't have gotten a chance to see the country.

Drive safe. We'll save you some cake.

Okay. We'll see you in ten hours.

Bye -bye, bye -bye.

Okay.

You want to talk to Chris?

I called him while you were getting snacks.

Not FaceTime, though. I think it'd be easier to explain the face in person.

You ready?

Never readier.

Can't get out of this place fast enough.

Are we sure this thing's going to make it all the way back to L .A.? Then I

would write.

What could go wrong?
