Original subtitles

-He awake? -Yeah, but he's in a lot of pain.

We can work with that.

Agent Duncan, how are we feeling?

-Are you my doctors? -No, we're--

We're something else.

Makes sense you'd get that wrong though.

You're the guy who couldn't tell a cobra from a flower.

Detective Kelly. Metro.

What's this about?

It's about you putting a USDA inspection stamp on a box of flowers

which concealed 20 venomous snakes leading to the death

of four people on Keystar Flight 729.

Lawyer, I want my lawyer--

I figured you might say that.

Ryan, what is it about cobra venom that makes it so damn painful?

Ryan here's got medical training.

The venom starts digesting living tissue on contact.

No wonder they got Agent Duncan on so much morphine.

This is how you turn it off, right?

Please. Wait.

Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, hey.

You know they say pain is God's megaphone.

[Duncan] Please, don't. No, no. Please, please.

Let's see how well you listen.

-[Duncan] Don't! -[clicks]

-Nurse! Nurse! -[Rogue] No, don't bother.

Nobody's coming. Caffeine citrate.

It's the equivalent to eight cups of coffee.

It won't stay in your system long, but it will make you extremely sensitive to pain.

I need to know the identity of who you're working for.

Hint. He calls himself the Pharaoh.

Please, please, stop.

You're gonna feel a burning sensation up your arm.

From there, it will spread through your entire body like wildfire.

-Rogue! -[Duncan] Please, make him stop.

-Rogue, stop! -Leave if you want.

Last chance.

-You wouldn't. -Pharaoh has killed 12 people.

There's nothing I wouldn't do.

-Tell me! -[Duncan] No.

-All right, have it your way. -[Duncan] No, don't.

No. [groaning, whimpering]

Feeling the burn, Duncan?

Just say the word and the morphine goes back on.

Okay, okay. Okay.

He found me on the dark web.

He paid me 100k to put that box on the plane.

And what were you doing on the dark web to begin with?

-Well, I… -Another dose?

[Duncan] No, no, okay, okay.

I help people put things on planes, but never people, never weapons.

What do you call Egyptian cobras?

I didn't know what was in that box.

He was so secretive and creepy. He said if I opened it, I'd be smited.

I never heard that word before. I had to look.

-That's how I got bit. -Tell me his name.

His handle on the dark web was RamsesX.

Did you ever meet him?

No, never. He paid me in crypto, and that is all I know.

Please, please, that is all I know.

I swear, you got to believe me.

I do.

Oh, God, turn that morphine back on.

I never turned it off, Duncan.

-What? -Oh, and this is saline.

Same stuff that's already in the bag.

It's harmless.

-Why'd it burn? -Yeah, why did it?

Power of suggestion.

[Cammie]

Disaster how? Is someone hurt?

My wife-to-be will kill me if that counts.

Okay, what's going on?

Well, my tux is ruined and it's all my best man's fault.

How is this my fault? You spilled it.

Dude, you brought me red wine.

You needed some liquid courage.

You were so nervous you were sweating through your tux, bro.

Guys, guys, this doesn't seem like an actual emergency.

No, please help me. My fiancé's been dreaming about this day her whole life.

She's been my rock since my dad died and she deserves a perfect day.

So please tell me there's something you can do about the stain.

[Cammie] Most people don't call 911 for a stain,

but lucky for y'all, I tended bar in my 20s.

You're a dispatcher, not a dry cleaner, Cammie.

This is just gonna take two seconds.

Okay, you need to get white wine, a napkin and some salt.

[best man] On it.

Hey, white wine.

Oh, whoa! Someone's a little dizzy.

How much did he drink?

[best man] Less than a glass.

I told you he's a lightweight.

Okay, what do I do now?

Okay, pour the white wine onto the red wine stain.

It neutralizes the pigment.

[groom] It's working.

Now, pat it dry with a napkin

and then rub some salt in it to absorb the excess fluid.

-Here, hold this for me, Jensen. -Yeah.

-[bottle shatters] -[grunts]

-[Cammie] What was that? -He dropped the bottle.

-My arm is killing me. -[Cammie] Which arm?

[Jensen] My left.

Your friend said that you were sweating and dizzy.

Yeah, what does that mean?

I don't think this is nerves. I think it could be a heart attack.

-But he's only 30 years old-- -[groans]

Jensen! Jensen! Help!

[sirens wailing]

Sorry, everyone, we are looking for a Jensen.

He-He's the groom.

-That's the one. -He's up here. This way.

He collapsed. The 911 lady thinks he might be having a heart attack.

All right, we'll take care of him.

-Ryan, Blue, prep the stretcher. -Yeah.

Okay, Jensen, I'm Roxie. How are you feeling?

Chest hurts. Hard to breathe.

All right, Tay, get him on O2 and the LIFEPAK.

-We need to travel him now. -[best man] Is he gonna be okay?

[Roxie] We'll do everything we can.

[Blue] Folks! You need to make a hole.

-Excuse us. -Tay, start a line.

Push 4 mL of morphine for the pain.

Hey Jensen, do you have any pre-existing conditions?

-Family history of heart attacks? -[groaning]

-Best man. Thoughts? -I don't know.

His dad, he died five years ago, a widowmaker. Oh, my God, Jensen…

Natalia. I'm sorry, baby, I ruined our day.

-No, baby. No. -Rox, T wave inversion.

Blood pressure is spiking.

Dispatch, radio Village West to have a cardiac surgeon standing by.

Copy. Will do, 113.

-Nat, if I don't survive, baby, just-- -No, don't talk like that, okay?

Today's just the beginning for us.

Ma'am, you can ride with us. Everybody else needs to stay back.

-[Natalia] Okay. -Not getting to marry you

-is gonna be my only regret. -I told you, don't talk that way.

[Jensen] I wish I could have at least made the ceremony.

-Maybe you still can. -What do you mean?

Yeah. What do you mean?

Reverend. We need your help.

For prayers?

For a wedding.

[siren wailing]

[Cammie] Rescue 113, we've got the reverend on the radio.

Can the bride and groom hear me?

Loud and clear, dispatch.

Okay then, Reverend, you're up.

We are gathered here today to join Jensen and Natalia in holy matrimony.

I can't believe you're coordinating a mobile wedding.

A wedding? I love weddings.

If the groom would like to say his vows.

I'm sorry this isn't how you pictured it.

The only thing I pictured was you.

It was our third date.

And I made you watch the first episode of Doctor Who.

You fell asleep immediately.

When you woke up, you insisted we start it over.

Even though you hated it.

I did not hate it.

But you knew it'd make me happy.

-Oh! I just love them. -Me too.

That's the moment I knew

I wanted to make you happy for the rest…

-[alarm beeping] -…rest of my life. [groans]

ST wave is elevating.

Pressure is plummeting.

What's going on? What's happening?

[Roxie] Based on those readings, he has a total blockage.

His heart muscle's about to start dying.

Well, is there anything you can do?

There's something I could try, but it's drastic.

-What is it? -An angioplasty.

We put a balloon in to open his artery.

It's the same procedure they'll do at the hospital.

Are you all qualified to do that?

She's not just a paramedic. She's a surgeon.

And she's the best there is.

Do it.

-[siren continues wailing] -[horn blares]

Tay, I need the portable ultrasound and a balloon catheter.

-Hey, it's okay. -[Roxie] Jensen,

are you feeling that morphine yet?

-Mm-hmm. -Okay. Here we go.

Reverend.

Let's finish this while I still can.

-[reverend] Very well. -[Roxie] Tay.

Ultrasound the heart for me.

Natalia, do you take Jensen to be your husband?

I do.

Reaching the coronary artery.

Inflating the balloon.

[reverend] Jensen. Do you take Natalia to be your wife?

-[steady beep] -Jensen. Jensen. Jensen!

Is it not working?

All right, inflating again.

-No. -[exhales heavily]

-Come on, come on. -Please. Jensen, please.

If you want to make me happy, you'll wake up. Okay?

I don't want to do this life without you.

Please.

-[rhythmic beeping] -[heartbeat thumping]

He's stabilizing.

[Roxie] Way to go, Jensen.

Welcome back.

-[Jensen] I do. -[laughs]

Natalia, I do.

I will marry you.

Then, by the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Or vice versa.

[wedding guests cheering, clapping]

-[chanting, cheering] -Okay, okay, okay.

That was very sweet, Cammie, maybe a little too sweet.

I would like everybody to come in 30 minutes early tomorrow before shift.

What for?

Special training.

Uh-oh.

[Blythe sighs]

Mmm.

[sighs] That was incredible.

-Hmm. -Hmm?

What's this "hmm"?

I liked it very much.

But… question is, did you like it?

-I loved it. -Then why didn't you finish?

I don't know. I couldn't.

You couldn't.

I mean, this has never happened to you before.

I'm aware.

That's usually the easy part.

For most guys, it's the too-easy part.

Come on, you--

-Then what's the problem? -Are you not attracted to me anymore?

There is not a man on the planet

more attracted to a woman than I am to you, and you know that.

Do I? Because for 25 years of marriage, this has never happened before.

Did we end the bed divorce too early?

No. Absolutely not.

So then what is it?

-Is it her? -[sighs]

I promise you. It has nothing to do with Dixie.

Then what is it?

I don't know.

Okay. I'm gonna go get ready for my meeting with Maya and Cliff.

-You're meeting with your lawyers? -Yeah.

They want to sue Dixie into oblivion for outing me in her diss track at the Ryman.

[Don] Well, are you gonna?

Oh, God, no. I mean, it's climbing the charts. She's--

Hey, wait.

I know what this is from. What could be causing my problem.

It's this stupid GLP-1.

That's not funny, Don.

I'm not messing with you. It's one of the many side effects.

It's called anor…

anorgasmia.

It's an inability to have a--

Have a nice day at work.

[Don] I told you these shots were a bad idea.

[♪ "Hey, Lady B" playing on phone]

[Dixie] ♪ Hey, Lady B, listen to me Spilling your secrets is just too easy… ♪

[Ryan] Rogue!

Ryan. What's going on?

Sorry to drop in. I couldn't say this over the phone.

-Do you mind turning that song off? -You don't like it?

It just popped up on the playlist.

-It's kind of catchy. -Rogue, this is about my mom.

This song's about Blythe?

It's a long story, and not the one I came here to tell you about.

-[beeps] -[♪ music stops]

[Ryan] Thank you. I know you said I shouldn't.

I went down the rabbit hole in the dark web looking for RamsesX.

I didn't say you shouldn't.

I said don't even think about it.

I went a little rogue.

-Don't say that. -[Ryan] I'm sorry.

I searched the message boards looking for the Pharaoh.

-You gotta be kidding me. -Before you lose your head, I got a hit.

RamsesX, Pharaoh's alias,

came into a chat room last night for bioterrorism

looking for something called…

Naegleria fowleri.

It's a waterborne, brain-eating parasite.

How do you know that?

Because I'm gonna be the one who delivers it to him.

I got a hit too.

You're good. Is this it?

This is tap water, turmeric, and pickle juice.

Pretty convincing, right?

Yeah.

-You reach out to him yet? -Yeah.

Posing as a disgruntled scientist from the CDC looking for a payday.

He said he wanted a photo.

-So what do you think of this one? -Mm-hmm.

Very convincing.

All right.

"I have what you're looking for,

but it won't be cheap.

$250,000."

Yeah, 250 is kind of steep, don't you think?

If I come in too low, he's gonna know it's a setup.

What do you think he wants the parasite for anyway?

Something big.

Here goes nothing.

Do you think he'll bite?

For Nashville's sake…

let's hope so.

Everyone take a seat.

I have warned you not to get too emotionally involved with your calls,

but it continues to be a problem.

Look, I know you were less than thrilled

when I helped that poor groom with the wine stain.

That's what YouTube is for.

But if I hadn't connected with him on an emotional level,

I wouldn't have figured out he was having a heart attack.

And you think that justifies orchestrating a rolling wedding?

It didn't hurt anyone.

[Marcia] Well, that you know of.

How could you when your lines were tied up

because you were all busy shedding so many tears of happiness

that you couldn't pick up a call?

So consider this your last warning.

If you cannot keep your feelings in check, you will be replaced.

You're gonna bring in new dispatchers?

[Marcia] I won't have to.

AI is already picking up the slack all over the country.

You wouldn't believe what it can do.

So we're being invaded by robots.

[Marcia] I hope it doesn't come to that.

Let me play you a few calls that might illustrate to all of you

what happens when we're too empathetic.

[dispatcher] 911, what's your emergency?

[child] Mochi got out!

[dispatcher] I'm sorry, who's Mochi?

[child] Our dog. I left the gate open and he got out.

Now I can't find him anywhere.

-[dispatcher] What is your name? -Mikey. It's all my fault.

I just want my dog back. [sobbing]

[dispatcher] Oh, hey. Hey, hey. Don't cry.

I'm gonna do everything I can to get him back.

-[recording pauses] -[Lorna] Wait, what happened?

-Did they find Mochi? -Mm-hmm. After 18 minutes.

The dispatcher gave a description to patrol officers who spotted him.

Yay. I love a happy ending. [chuckles]

So what's the lesson of the call?

The lesson is, while that bleeding-heart dispatcher

was so busy helping that boy find his dog,

other 911 calls were placed on hold.

The dispatcher finally answered this call.

Let's take a listen.

[dispatcher] 911, what's your emergency?

[Cammie] It's my husband. Oh, God, I think it might be too late.

Why was no one picking up?

First I got voicemail, then I was on hold forever.

[dispatcher] I'm sorry, ma'am. We've been backed up tonight.

-What's your emergency? -[Cammie] He's choking.

We're at 3233 Timberwood Drive.

I've been trying to do the Heimlich, but he's on the ground and it's not working.

-[dispatcher] Is he breathing? -[Cammie sobs] No. I don't think so, no.

Mark. Oh, God, Mark…

How dare you?

How dare you play that call?

The death of my husband?

[Marcia] Because I have to make it clear.

These calls are a matter of life and death.

[laptop slams shut]

-[knocking] -[door opens]

-Don! -Hey, Dr. Pradeep,

thanks for… thanks for working me in.

Of course. Molly at reception said you've been

experiencing some adverse effects from the GLP-1,

that you didn't feel comfortable discussing it over the phone.

Correct.

Sorry to hear that.

Is it diarrhea? It's usually diarrhea.

It's a little more intimate. Down there.

-Ah! Couldn't raise the flag. -No, no, that's not the problem.

It's the opposite, actually.

It's called anorgasmia.

No, I don't think that's possible.

I've never had this problem before, and I started taking the shots,

and I can keep going and going, but there's no joy.

Well, on the bright side, it's good for cardiovascular health.

Yeah, but bad for the heart, especially my wife's

who takes it personally, and that kills me.

May I ask you a sensitive question?

Since you first experienced these symptoms,

have you been able to enjoy any alone time?

I mean, sure.

And when you do, are you able to reach the end zone?

Yes.

That's good news. It tells me it's psychological.

Is there something about being with your wife making you uncomfortable?

This whole conversation is making me uncomfortable.

You just tell me how to fix this.

Well, have you tried talking with her?

I can't go back there till I have some answers.

Then I suggest you talk to someone you trust.

If it were me, I'd take my best friend out for a beer.

Okay, well, my best friend is my son, and that might be a little awkward.

Yeah, so probably not him.

It was just such an out-of-body experience, you know,

hearing the fear in my own voice on that 911 call.

It just… Well, it took me right back to that night.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that.

Thank you.

This looks great, babe.

I'm trying, I'm trying.

And the worst part was Dr. Zellner, she just stared at me

with this patronizing look like I was the crazy one for reacting.

Did she say what the point of the whole thing was?

To train the team not to get so emotionally involved in one caller

that we leave another hanging,

completely disregarding the improvements I funded

that have dramatically reduced hold times.

-Which were game changers, by the way. -Thank you.

Yes.

I'm thinking about filing a complaint with the city.

-I'm gonna tell them the truth about her. -Which is what?

That she's a twisted psycho who's creating an unsafe work environment.

Cam, you can't just submit that without any evidence.

Did you hear the part where she made me listen

to my husband die in front of all my coworkers?

Yes. I'm not…

I'm just saying, technically,

the call's part of the public record,

she has a right to use it for training purposes

if it's relevant to the situation.

-Severe as it was… -Severe? It was sadistic.

At Quantico, they taught us extreme examples are the most effective, right?

So your coworkers, you think any of them will ever take too long on a call again?

-No, probably not. -Okay, at least there's that, right?

Okay, so by that rationale,

a driver's ed instructor could play the dash cam footage

from your wife's accident to illustrate the dangers of reckless driving.

Wow.

You know, I think I'm gonna…

Yeah, I'm gonna head out.

-Nick. No, no, no. -Yeah, I got an early day tomorrow, so…

-Nick, come on. -Babe, we're good, we're good, we're good.

-I'm just gonna… -No, that came out wrong.

[door closes]

[phone ringing]

Nick, I'm so sorry we left it like that.

[caller] Oh, sorry, this is will call from the Carlyle Auditorium.

I've got a ticket for you.

Yeah, I'm sorry. There must be some mistake.

I didn't buy any tickets.

-Is this Cammie Raleigh? -Yes.

Then it's for you, a front-row ticket.

To what show?

To watch your life go up in flames!

-Who is this? -The one who's holding the match!

Get ready to burn, you pathetic hag!

[cackling]

[Rogue] The caller told you that he had front-row tickets

to watch your life go up in flames, then what?

Then I asked who it was, and he said, "The one holding the match.

Get ready to burn, you pathetic hag."

And then he laughed, and hung up.

Cammie, do you need a minute?

No, I do not need a minute, Dr. Zellner.

-Does she have to be here? -[Marcia] I'm your supervisor.

It's my job to look out for your mental wellness.

Could you describe what the caller's voice sounded like?

Friendly, but with an artificial buzz, you know,

like he was using a voice changer, which made me think of Pharaoh,

who also used one when he called me, which is why I called you.

Seems like the Pharaoh has taken a little shine to you, Cammie.

Except this wasn't Pharaoh.

How can you be so sure?

The call you described, the immature insults,

the lack of biblical or messianic references doesn't fit his profile.

So who could it be?

Well, anybody else who might want to push your buttons?

One person does come to mind, actually.

-Me? -You ambushed me,

making me relive the worst moment of my life.

I'm sorry, Cammie, but that was a sanctioned training exercise.

You really think that I am crank calling you and using a voice changer?

Are you hearing yourself?

I know that you are under an immense amount of stress right now,

and I'm afraid it is making you paranoid.

[Rogue] Cammie,

what time did you say the call came in last night?

7:48 p.m.

Not that I owe you an explanation,

but I was in a meeting at emergency city services last night

from 7:00 to 9:00,

and I was sitting next to Deputy Mayor Broussard

and the police commissioner.

As far as alibis go, you can't do much better.

[Marcia] Cammie, you have had a rough night.

Are you sure you're well enough to work?

Because if you're not, I cannot put you on that floor.

It's gonna take a lot more than a crank call

to knock me off my game, Dr. Zellner.

Sweetie, that's more of a 10:00 and 2:00 than a 9:00 and 3:00.

Thought I was supposed to do 10:00 and 2:00.

No, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

-updated their official recommendation. -Fine.

Okay, look, your driving test is next week.

Dad, I don't think that a half inch difference is going to matter.

No, it's going to matter when the airbag deploys

and snaps both of your wrists, okay?

Why are the airbags deploying?

[father] Watch out!

-[both screaming] -[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

-Blue, let's get some CO2 on that engine. -On it.

How you folks doing in there?

[father] We're doing all right. We're just stuck.

Every time I try to open the door, it just--

No, no, no. Hold still, all right. We don't want this falling the wrong way.

Yeah, are either of you hurt?

No. I might have broken my wrist if I hadn't listened to my dad.

We're gonna get you out of there. Just hang tight.

Yeah.

Rox, look at this.

Hey, Cap, how do you want to play this thing?

I feel like a slight breeze is gonna knock it over.

Get it stable, then get 'em out.

-Why don't you and Blue start cribbing? -Okay.

Hey, Cap, you might want to check this out.

We got blood on the road.

Y'all hit something?

Nope, this guy ran out into the road, but I didn't hit him.

-It's why I swerved. -Any idea where he went?

He ran off that way into the cornfield.

Hey, Cap, we got more blood over here too. There's a trail.

Dispatch, we need PD. Something's not right over here.

Rox, you and Taylor, come with me, grab your med kits.

[Taylor] Hello? Is anybody out there?

Hey, Dispatch, let Village West know to have whole blood standing by.

[dispatch] Copy that.

[Taylor] I got him.

[groaning]

What the hell happened?

-Tay, LIFEPAK then fluids. -Yeah.

[Roxie] Sir, can you hear me?

Where?

You're in a field. You passed out.

Where is…

We're going to find the source of your bleeding, then get you to the hospital.

No! No, where is it?

-It? -It!

It!

-You cut it off? -What? No!

No, my wife did.

She said she threw it over here somewhere.

You got to find it, man.

Your wife did this?

-Yeah. -[LIFEPAK beeping]

BP is low, 90/40, heart rate's through the roof.

We need to stop this bleeding. Tay, pass me all the gauze you've got.

Yeah.

-Ooh! -We need to apply a tourniquet.

Girl, we don't have nothing that small.

Hey, it's not that small.

It's just not the body part tourniquets were designed for.

[breathing heavily]

-Uh-oh. -Let's try this.

-[elastic stretching] -[groans]

Pushing lorazepam.

-Lorazepam is in. -[sighs]

-Yeah. -All right, Cap,

we should have him stabilized within a few minutes,

but then we need to get him into an ambulance.

I am not going anywhere without my penis.

Sir, we have no idea where it is or if it's even still viable.

-Waiting could cost you your life. -I don't care.

It won't be worth living without it.

-[radio chirps] -[Don] Ry, how y'all doing?

[♪ folk music playing]

Father and daughter just got out safely. Wreckage crew's coming for the car.

Great. Send Blue down here

with two flares, a cooler, and a biohazard bag.

Copy that. What for?

Gotta find a needle in a haystack.

-Hey, man! -[doorbell rings]

I assume you know why I'm here.

He threw away everything that mattered to me,

so I threw away the only thing that mattered to him.

We were doing so good.

We had drinks last night.

I woke up and it…

[sobbing] It was missing!

So, why'd she do it?

We were getting frisky last night and then I…

I couldn't perform.

-That's harsh. -[man groans]

There's a little more to it than that.

I had a little indiscretion.

[Taylor] Hmm.

But she forgave me, or so I thought.

And then-- Well, then when I couldn't, you know…

-She took it personally. -[man] Yeah!

I guess you never really know someone until you betray them.

[Blue] Cap?

[Don] Blue over here.

-Got the flares. -[Don] Great.

Look for a heat signature that's about…

-How big is this thing? -I don't know. What, are we talking cold?

We will find it.

Why don't you cover over here, and I'll start over here.

[♪ music continues]

[beeping]

-Got it. Right there. We got it. -[exclaims, laughs]

-Blue, pack it up. -Cap, me?

-[man] Bless you! -On it.

You got it?

[groans]

Yeah.

Some cases really cut to the bone, huh?

-Poor choice of words. -[Rogue chuckles]

You look like you could use a drink, Captain.

More than one.

[♪ upbeat country music playing]

Someone left you on read?

Pharaoh.

Trying to lure him out from the dark web.

And he's not biting?

I'm worried his next attack will be the biggest one yet.

Seems that you could use a drink too.

Excuse me, two Raleigh Number 5s, please.

-Enjoy, gentlemen. -[Rogue] Thanks.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Damn.

Yeah, they don't make it like that back up in New York City, do they?

No, they do not.

Hey, one more.

The world's greatest whiskey made by the world's worst man, my father-in-law.

Seriously?

Edward Raleigh is Blythe's dad.

I'm kidding, he's not actually the world's worst man,

maybe just the bottom half,

but, no, he raised Blythe all on his own, so he can't be that bad.

Yeah, she seems like a really good woman.

Mmm.

You're worried you're going to lose her.

You know that's very unnerving.

-The mind reading-- -The mind reading thing, yeah.

It has that effect on people.

So what gave it away?

You seemed pretty rattled at that domestic today.

You're slamming expensive whiskey that's meant to be sipped.

I already knew about the bed divorce.

Is this about your ex's diss track?

No, Blythe's actually happy it's gone viral,

and we're back in the same bed.

That's when our problems really got complicated.

-Ah! Bedroom stuff. -Mm-hmm.

You know it happens to lots of guys our age.

Sometimes it's hard to get on the horse.

Getting on is not the problem.

It's more of the…

the dismount.

My doc seems to think it's in my mind.

Which is always the worst place for it to be, right?

Mm-hmm.

Any theories as to what could be going on?

No.

No, for the past month, all I've been doing is trying to get back with her.

-Now that I got the chance-- -Hold on, hold on.

What happened last month?

It was a situation with another woman.

-I see. -No, you don't.

Because I didn't go through with it. I did not cheat.

I believe you.

You know, my wife and I, we loved the beach.

The shore was our happy place.

It's where we'd go to escape the muck and the noise and the evil of the city.

And then after Chloe died…

I just couldn't go anymore.

The sound of the waves, even the smell of the salt air,

still puts a pit in my stomach.

Too sad to be there without her?

Too guilty.

If I hadn't been so self-absorbed,

she wouldn't have been alone the night the Strangler found her.

Maybe we'd still be putting our feet in the sand.

So you're punishing yourself.

Sound familiar?

[Cammie]

Hit by a tree where?

In her chest.

No, I mean, where are you?

[caller] We're in the King's River.

The tree fell out of nowhere and now she's pinned under it.

Is her head above water?

Yes, but it's up to her neck.

Okay,my name is Cammie. I'm gonna help.

Where in the river are you?

Where in the river? I…

I don't know.

-I don't know where we're at. -Ruby May.

Ruby May. Ruby May!

Just calm down, okay? It's gonna be fine, Ruby May.

-Okay? -Okay.

Give me the phone.

We're half a mile south of Long Pine Campground.

Okay, I'm sending help, but it's gonna take a minute for them to get to you.

Kelly, are you in pain?

No, not really. It's just, it's pressing a bit on my ribs.

How about your breathing?

I'm not gonna lie, it's getting a little harder.

It should be me under there.

Kelly pushed me out of the way,

but I just, I don't know what happened. I just--

Hey, Ruby May, remember what Kelly said, okay?

We need to stay calm. I want you to look around.

Do you see any heavy branches near you in the river or on the bank, maybe?

Yeah, yeah, I see some.

Okay, good. Get the longest, heaviest one you can carry.

-Okay, I got it. -Good.

Now I want you to put it under the trunk and try putting all your weight into it.

-Ready? -Ready.

Okay, one, two…

-[wood creaking] -[screaming]

-[whimpers] -[coughing]

[Ruby May] It's not working. It won't budge.

I'm not strong enough.

How many times did I tell you to come to Pilates with me, dumb-dumb?

I'm the dumb-dumb? You're the one who got hit by a tree.

That's true, I guess we're both dumb-dumbs.

It's a boat, it's a boat.

Yes, yes! Yes!

Hey! Hey!

-We're over here! -[Kelly] Help!

-[♪ rock music playing on speakers] -Help!

[Ruby May] Over here!

-[Kelly] Help! -Somebody help us, please!

Hey! Please come back!

No, no, no!

Kelly! Oh, my God!

Please! Somebody help us!

Help! Kelly!

Somebody help us! Please!

Ruby May, tell me what's going on. What happened?

Oh, my God. A wave came andnow she's all the way underwater.

Where are your people? Where are they?

They're coming, honey. They're gonna be there soon.

-How far out are they really? -Too far.

Ruby May, I need you to be strong.

We're gonna try something to buy Kelly some time.

-What? -Mouth to mouth under the water.

-I can't do that. -[Cammie] Yes, you can, honey.

[Ruby May] I don't know how.

Pinch your nose closed, take a big gulp of air,

and then blow into her mouth.

Okay.

It's not working.

Water keeps getting in my nose and it stings.

I can't do it!

Don't give up. You can't give up.

She's gonna die, isn't she?

[Cammie] Sweetie, listen to me.

She's trying to say goodbye.

Kelly.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

-[line clicks] -[Marcia] You're sorry?

-You're sorry? -Dr. Zellner, what are you doing?

You know what Kelly would appreciate a lot more

than you being sorry is a friend that

didn't quit on her just because she got a little water up her nose, you coward.

What? Who are you?

-Who are you is the question. -Cammie?

Are you a quitter or are you gonna stop that blubbering

and help your friend?

You are all she's got, so suck it up and save her life!

Yes, ma'am.

I think she's got some air, but I don't know.

That's good. Do it again whenever she's ready.

Come on, Kelly.

I don't know if she's getting enough air.

Some is better than none. Every bit counts.

Just keep going.

Stay with me, Kelly, please.

Kelly!

[Ryan] It's okay. It's okay.

Hold on, we got it from here, all right.

-Blue! Tay! -[Taylor] Yep, I see her.

Let's lift on three.

One, two, three!

-Nice job. -[Roxie] All right, bring her up here.

Yep. Watch her head.

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

[Blue] Yep.

Come on, Kelly.

Come on, girl. Please.

Come on, girl. Come on.

[Roxie] There you go, there you go.

-Welcome back, Kelly. -[Kelly coughing]

-Ruby May. -I'm right here. I'm right here.

Hi.

[all breathing heavily]

Cammie, she made it.

[sighs]

Thank you all for giving me a kick in the pants.

Sometimes we all need one.

-Hey. -Hey.

What are you looking at so seriously?

You looking at me.

Oh, yeah, that was last Valentine's Day at Bertelli's.

-That was a good night. -Yeah, you look so beautiful.

I really miss that smile with the light in your eyes.

Donnie, where is this coming from?

I'm never gonna forgive myself for putting that out.

I had a drink with Rogue.

-Really? -[Don] Mm-hmm.

He said I'm punishing myself.

He thinks that might be why I can't…

-you know, when we're-- -Wait, what?

You talked to him about that?

Well, the doctor said I should talk it out with a friend.

I'm not gonna put Ryan through that kind of trauma,

and it's kind of hard to talk to your best friend

when she's the one that you're hurting.

Your best friend, you mean me?

Of course, I just feel like I broke something between us.

You did.

But Donnie, sometimes things that are broken, they grow back stronger.

I mean, think about that separation all those years ago.

We got through that.

And we can get through this.

But only if we give ourselves grace to move on.

And you have moved on?

Yes.

Now it's your turn.

I wish I knew how.

You want some advice from your best friend?

Maybe you should just try to enjoy yourself.

By doing what?

What do you think?

-I think I got an idea. -Yeah?

[knocking]

Making yourself at home, Dr. Zellner?

It is now, like it or not.

How can I help you, Cammie?

You already have.

If you hadn't used a stern hand with that kid,

her friend would have drowned, and I appreciate the support.

You know who couldn't have done what you did on that call?

-Who? -AI.

It might be efficient, but it can't give someone a hard kick in the pants.

You have to be human to be that brutal.

Fair.

I suppose the initiative can wait.

You know, it showed a lot of growth, you coming in here and saying all of that.

I know we don't always see eye to eye,

but I certainly hope that you and I can coexist here.

I do too, Dr. Zellner.

And for the love of God, please just call me Marcia, okay?

Is that your son?

[Marcia] Yeah, Todd.

How old is he?

Oh, he was almost 12 when that was taken.

It's the last photo I have of him.

Oh, God. I had no idea.

You know, for the first year, I couldn't even cry.

But since then I…

I can't seem to stop.

If you don't mind my asking, how did he pass?

He was killed by a drunk driver.

I'm so sorry.

Listen, my boyfriend runs a grief group, if you ever want to join.

It helped me a lot.

I think I'd like that.

[line ringing]

-[chattering on TV] -[phone ringing]

Hello?

[caller] Mrs. Raleigh, this is Dr. Corning from Village West.

I'm so sorry to have to call you so late.

Yeah, is everything okay?

Yes, I'm just calling about some results from your last checkup.

In March?

Somebody should have called you,

and unfortunately, it slipped through the cracks,

but our new system flagged it.

There's really no easy way to say this,

but your blood work confirms…

Yes?

That you are a brain-dead moron.

I am going to find out who this is,

-and I am going to prosecute. -[cackling]

[knocking on door]

-Hey. -Don, what are you doing here?

Came to say thank you.

Wow. Cool spot.

What's this for?

Well, I needed an ear to talk to and, you know, you gave me one.

Wow.

So our talk helped. You were able to dismount.

-Yes. -Well, that is worth a toast.

I gotta be honest with you, when you first got down here in Nashville,

I kind of thought you were a little bit of a…

Dick? It's okay, you can say it.

I was gonna go with jerk, but either way,

I was wrong and I'm glad you're down here.

Me too.

[chimes]

It's him.

It's Pharaoh. He finally responded to my message.

He took the bait?

Yeah.

[♪ tense music playing]

He wants to meet.
