- in just 36 hours, 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 party 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

it's 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.

[HEN] You weren't shaming them

for tying for first

in the firefighter games, were you?

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

Hey.

Where have you been?

Rented a car.

You rented a car?

Look, we can sit in this terminal

and it's a straight shot, 30 hours.

We'll take turns driving.

Sure, that's easy. You're gonna take this road out here.

Which friend?

The other guy... in the car.

Evan Buckley. We were driving back

to L.A. together.

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

CT ruled out subdural bleeding,

but some confusion is normal.

Confusion? I mean, what are you talking about?

There was nobody else in the car with you.

You were alone.

[PHONE WHOOSHES]

Mr. Diaz.

I'm Sheriff Woodson. Deputy Torros.

- Did you find him? - We're still looking.

We've combed a ten-mile radius.

K-9s, 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.

[EDDIE] An older model.

With flood lights 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 just tried to start something.

It seemed like maybe they were locals.

I see. Well...

...we questioned nine locals from that diner.

What they recall

is you and your... friend, Mr. Buckley...

- We 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.

- No. We had words. - My mistake.

I think we jotted a few of those words, hmm?

"Now you want to murder me. Is that what you want?"

Oh, come on.

No. Do you honestly

believe that I did something to Buck?

I say that?

Did I say that?

Oh, if you did, I missed it.

This is crazy. I...

Talk to the waitress. All right? Talk to the cook.

He's the one that chased those guys out with a 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.

Yeah, the one I murdered?

Yeah, that's him.

What are you doing here?

Looking for you. Janelle at the Big Griddle

said 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.

- Buck. - Hey! Hey!

Arrest me later. Call EMS now!

Look at me, Buck. Look at me, Buck.

- [EXHALES] - Okay? You're gonna be okay.

[GROANS]

You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay.

You look like hell.

[EXHALES]

You should see the other guy.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

I am the other guy. [CHUCKLES]

- Yeah. I know. - [BUCK CHUCKLES]

[CHIMNEY] Honey, why don't I just call the Lees?

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 road.

[PHONE RINGING]

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

Hello?

[EXHALES]

- It's Buck. - Oh...

Buck.

[CRYING SOFTLY]

Hi.

Hi. [LAUGHS]

What did the doctor say?

[BUCK OVER PHONE] I'm cleared to travel.

No blood clots yet, no fever.

Uh, he just wants us to stop every 90 minutes

so I can walk around a bit,

- just to be safe. - [ATHENA] You make sure

you do that, Eddie.

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

We may both be walking.

Okay, hey, uh, 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?

Uh, she's not coming.

She's not coming to her own surprise party?

- Why not? - [ATHENA] 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? - [CHIMNEY] I was afraid

she'd ruin the surprise.

We could have just waited for a flight?

[ATHENA] 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. [GROANS]

You want to talk to Chris?

No, I called him while you were getting snacks.

Not FaceTime, though.

Figure it'd be easier to explain

- the face in person. - Sure.

You ready?

Never readier.

I can't get out of this place fast enough.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Ah...
