9-1-1 Nashville (2025) s01e12 Episode Script
Spirit of the Games
1
[DON HART] Listen up.
There are moments in life
when we find out what we're made of.
They are grueling, terrifying,
liable to tear your guts inside out.
Well, my friends,
this is one of those moments.
And you're gonna remember
what happened here.
When you faced your greatest foes.
Those that are much more ruthless
and unrelenting than any fire.
And I just pray to God
you can tell your grandkids
we buried them in our dust.
[INSPIRING MUSIC PLAYING]
These Nashville folks are kinda intense.
Yeah.
I can't wait to kick their asses.
[FAINT DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- [CAR HORNS HONKING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
- So, this is Nashville.
- [SIGHS]
The lights. The music.
This is a vibe.
It's even noisier than I expected.
Good thing I brought
a sound machine. Come on.
- Let's go check in.
- [LAUGHS]
Let's have a party in a barn ♪
[KNOCKING]
Hey.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
Why are you in your PJs?
It's 7:30.
We haven't even had dinner yet.
I just figured we'd get room service.
- Here. What do you want?
- I wanna go out.
I wanna see what Nashville's about.
There's plenty of good times
to be had out there.
Okay, what do you think
this is, Eddie, a vacation?
Yes, Buck. That's exactly
what I think this is.
Now get dressed.
[EVAN BUCKLEY] Well, it's
not a vacation. It's business.
We are talking about
the 51st Annual American
Firefighting Games.
It's basically American
Ninja Warrior for firefighters.
Okay, first of all, American
Ninja Warrior is awesome.
Plus, the winning team gets
a $25,000 grant for their house.
- So?
- So
imagine what we could do with that.
The 118 could finally
get its own convection oven.
We don't need a convection oven.
You've never seen what one can do
to some puff pastry.
Look, my point is, we have got to
lock in, starting now.
We are only here
'cause Bobby entered us.
We have to make him proud.
[EDDIE DIAZ] You're right. You're right.
I'm gonna give it my all.
But after the last few months I had,
I could stand to blow off some steam.
So could you.
No. I'm-I'm good.
Training starts at 0700.
Fine. But after we go out.
This place is world famous.
Okay. And is LA not?
[SIGHS] Don't you wanna go out
and just see the
[SNAPPING] honky-tonks?
Uh, not Not really.
- Try the hot chicken?
- No.
I read that Nashville is the
bachelorette capital of the world.
Sold.
Uh, okay, on one condition, though.
When we get back, we do a film session.
A film session?
Yeah. All the old games are on YouTube.
What kind of lunatic does film sessions
on the firefighter games?
[DON] I want everyone to focus
on this moment right here.
- [CROWD CHATTERING]
- [BATON CLATTERING]
- [ROXIE GROANS]
- [RYAN HART] Oh, God.
Hurts to watch, doesn't it? [SIGHS]
That botched hand-off
cost us precious points
and gift-wrapped
another championship for Boston.
Smug jerks.
- Reardon, lights.
- [LIGHTS CLICKING]
Alright, who wants
to tell me what went wrong?
I started running too early.
Couldn't take the blind hand-off.
That's correct,
but I didn't call on you.
- Uh, Rox. What do you think?
- [ROXIE ALBA] Hmm?
I think it doesn't matter what I think,
since you and Ryan
are doing all the events.
Yeah, Harts always find a way, right?
Until we don't.
Uh, either one of us could
break a leg tonight on a call.
Then it's next man or woman up.
Look, this is about pride.
This is Nashville's first time
hosting the games,
and this is our best chance to win one.
I mean, the last thing we
wanna do is pull a Kenosha.
What's a Kenosha?
You don't wanna know.
Fell off the saddle a few times ♪
[EDDIE] What did I tell you?
[LAUGHS] Pretty great, isn't it?
No, it's a fire hazard, is what it is.
I don't care what the city code says.
This place is over capacity.
Oh, Buck!
Would you please just loosen up?
You lured me here under false pretenses.
You promised me bachelorettes.
All I see are drunk bros
in trucker hats.
Check your six o'clock.
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY
ON SPEAKERS]
[BACHELORETTES CHATTERING AND LAUGHING]
You know, you've always
been a man of your word.
- Yeah. [LAUGHS]
- [DRUNK GUY] Hey, blondie!
- Hey. Blondie!
- [BUCK] Oh, look at this guy.
Yeah. I'm talking to you.
[BUCK] Uh, hey, buddy.
Listen, I-I don't think
she's interested.
[DRUNK GUY] Hey.
Hey, you need a place to sit, huh?
[CHUCKLES] Come on.
I got the perfect seat for ya.
Alright, pal, why don't you
just knock it off?
[SCOFFS]
How about I knock you off, huh?
Whoa. Whoa!
- [PEOPLE GASPING]
- Oh, oh!
- [DRUNK GUY SCREAMING]
- [CRASHING]
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- [METAL SMASHING]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
- Call 9-1-1.
- [BUCK] Come on, let's go.
Okay. Help is on the way.
[BUCK] Hey, clear back!
Watch out, watch out!
Coming through! Eddie! Uh
Eddie, I'm gonna find an extinguisher.
Stay back! Stay back!
[EDDIE GROANS]
[GRUNTS]
[EDDIE] Buck, clear the propane!
Hey, hey. Move those tanks right now!
[BYSTANDER] Yeah, yeah.
[EDDIE] It's gonna
be okay, buddy. I got you.
[DRIVER GRUNTING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- Hey, man, can you hear me?
- [DRIVER] Oh, God.
- [BLOOD BUBBLING]
- What happened to his face?
[EDDIE] It looks like
the fall detached his nose.
Hey, stay with me.
[CHOKING]
Ah, he can't breathe.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Uh
Ma'am! I need your straw, now!
And does anybody have a pen or a spoon?
I, I do.
Give it to me. Thanks. Alright.
I need you hold his head still
for me. Can you do that?
Okay. What are you gonna do?
He's bleeding too much down his airway.
So, I'll put this down his throat,
- to help him breathe.
- [STRAW SQUELCHING]
Alright.
- I know, man.
- [CHOKING CONTINUES]
Come on, buddy, breathe.
[AIR FLOWING, LABORED BREATHING]
There we go.
- [HEROIC MUSIC PLAYING]
- There we go.
- [SIREN WAILING]
- Hang on.
- Help is here.
- [BUCK] Hey, hey! Come on!
[EXTINGUISHER HISSING]
Hey! Hey! Hey, stay back! Stay back!
Nashville FD! Let's clear a path.
Ryan, Blue!
Come on, let's start
knocking down these flames.
[BUCK] Captain! It's spreading fast.
We cleared the propane,
but it's a grease fire.
You're probably gonna wanna use
A suppression blanket.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Somebody knows what he's talking about.
Rox, Taylor, could you help out
our other good Samaritan here?
- You know what happened to him?
- He fell off the balcony.
Sustained a severe mid-face
fracture and a broken jaw.
I opened a temporary airway.
He's breathing, but he's unconscious.
Hey, Tay, let's get him on the LIFEPAK.
Start a line, run it wide open.
- On it.
- I'm Roxie.
I'm Eddie. Paramedic, too.
Is this a drinking straw?
Worked with what I had.
I know it's just a stopgap, but
Well, it kept him alive.
♪♪
Cap. Fire's been knocked down.
Alright, grab some sandbags,
put 'em on the corners.
Make sure it's secure.
Okay, line's going in.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
- [CHOKING]
- [RAPID BEEPING]
- [ROXIE] What's the read?
- He's tachycardic.
- [CHOKING CONTINUES]
- [BEEPING CONTINUES]
I think it's too much blood, Roxie.
He's aspirating.
- [BEEPING CONTINUES]
- His airway's still narrow.
Especially with the swelling.
Yeah, we need to reset his nose.
If I could just align
his septum with his nostrils,
he might be able to get some air.
Taylor, give him something for the pain.
Pushing morphine now.
[ROXIE] Sir, I need
to take out the straw.
[RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES]
- [STRAW SQUELCHING]
- Bear with me.
Now I'm gonna reset your
nasal cavity so you can breathe.
I'm so sorry.
[ROXIE GRUNTING]
[BONE CRUNCHING, FLESH SQUELCHING]
Endotracheal tube, please.
We're almost there.
Just giving you an airway.

[AIR PUMPING]
- [STEADY BEEPING]
- He is stabilizing.
Heart rate's going down.
O2 is coming up.
Good job.
[EXHALES]
Hey. Welcome back, sir.
You're gonna be okay.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Hey. How's he doing?
He's stable, but critical.
We're gonna head to Village West.
Alright. We'll see
you back at the house.
Nice save. Both of you.
[UPBEAT COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
Thank you two gentlemen, as well.
I take it you're professionals?
Yes, sir. Firefighters.
Uh, the 118 in LA.
Nice. What are you guys doing here?
We're competing
in the firefighter games.
No way! They are, too.
No kidding? Wow.
Well, I guess we'll be seeing
a lot more of each other.
Yes, you will, sir.
Looking forward to it.
Pleasure to meet y'all.
Yeah, you guys, too.
- Take care. Thanks again.
- [EDDIE] Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Did you hear that?
They're competing in the games.
Yep.
That's what I was afraid of.
♪♪
[BELL RINGING]
So, today as hosts of the games,
we follow a time-honored tradition.
And we open up the doors
to our firehouse
to our fellow competitors.
It's a, it's a gesture
of friendship and, uh, goodwill.
That's awesome.
It'll be so nice
to get to know everybody.
Precisely.
Getting to know everyone.
That is our key objective today.
Just remember, you have two eyes
and one mouth for a reason.
What reason is that?
He wants us to be spies.
[DON] Scouts, not spies.
But if you notice somebody
has a hitch in their gait,
if they're favoring one leg,
if they can deadlift 500 pounds,
make a note of it.
And do it discreetly.
We'll debrief later.
But not like spies.
Isn't that a little cutthroat?
[LAUGHS] Have you met them?
This is all in the spirit
of good, old-fashioned,
hard-nosed competition.
I thought this was all in the spirit
of Southern hospitality.
It is. Oh, that reminds me.
Blue, I want you to make
the heaviest casserole, you know.
I'm talking something
dripping with cream cheese,
nacho cheese, bacon, you name it.
Well, that's Boogie's Blow-Out.
But, hits like a brick.
You won't wanna eat that
before the games tomorrow.
Uh, we're not competing.
And the games don't start tomorrow.
They start right now.
[FIREFIGHTERS CHATTERING]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, welcome to the 113.
Y'all make yourselves at home.
[EDDIE] Wow. Have you ever seen
a firehouse this nice?
No, I haven't. Real question is,
what do they need 25K for?
Maybe they're not doing it
for the prize money.
Obviously not. Place is so gaudy.
[RYAN] Wha Easy, man.
My grandfather built this place.
Oh, okay. So you're like
a trust fund baby.
Hey! There they are.
Our Hollywood Heroes!
Hey, Taylor. Roxie.
Good to see y'all again.
You guys fired up for the games?
- [EDDIE] Mm-hmm.
- Yes, we are.
What event are you
most looking forward to?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Okay.
Well, uh, maybe we should
say hi to everybody else.
Yes. Let's do that.
["BEST FRIEND" BY SAWEETIE PLAYING]
[EDDIE] [THROUGH TEETH]
What the hell was that?
They're trying to be friendly.
We're not here to make friends.
We're here to win.
That my best friend,
she a real bad ♪
So, you guys are from Boston.
You're like the dynasty.
Three straight championships, right?
Four.
That's why they call us Titletown.
[LAUGHS] "Titletown." Okay, well
Now, Blue here is a terrific cook,
especially when it comes
to authentic Southern cuisine.
Can I interest any of y'all
in a casserole?
I will take a piece. I'm starving.
Oh, yeah. Make that two.
You got it. I'm Blue.
Hey, I'm Carl, and this is Karl.
You're both named Carl?
Yeah, mine's with a K.
Well, if you're looking
to relax, we've got pool,
darts, and video games over here.
We didn't come here for games.
No, except for you literally did.
The Kenosha Carls,
they never miss the games.
- Oh, we just love 'em.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]
Too bad they don't love us back.
Why do you say that?
Oh, we've never won a single event.
Well, this could be y'all's year.
Uh, doesn't matter.
We, we don't do it for the medals.
- No.
- We do it for the camaraderie.
Get that strap, let them buckle ♪
Okay. Anybody hungry?
Uh, speaking of which,
Blue, aren't you gonna
offer our friends from LA
- a little something here?
- Yeah.
- Mm. That smells good.
- [DON] Gentlemen.
[KARL] Mm-hmm.
That my best friend ♪
[BUCK] Uh hold on.
What exactly is in that?
You know, breakfast stuff,
some bacon, a little cheese.
[EDDIE] Mm.
You know I,
I happen to be a baker myself.
Oh.
[BUCK] And I'm smelling
[SNIFFS]
three different types of cheese.
Is that cream, nacho, and
gouda?
Uh-oh, girl,
I think our booty growin' ♪
Oh, we love gouda.
Uh, you know, we're from Wisconsin.
♪♪
I think we're actually
just gonna hit the gym.
- Thanks, though.
- Yeah.
Come on, Eddie.
In the mirror, hit them poses ♪
♪♪
[GRUNTING]
[GROANS, EXHALES]
Look at these guys.
They're throwing that thing
around like a paperweight.
[GRUNTING CONTINUES]
Man, they gotta be
juicing, right? Come on.
Buck. Don't say stuff like that.
All I'm saying is, maybe
we make an anonymous phone call
about a drug test.
That's a cheap way to get an edge.
You're right. Let's just focus on us.
I didn't say that.
There's a more primal way.
♪♪
[GRUNTS] Oh, God.
You trying to give yourself a hernia?
No. I'm trying to get
inside their heads.
There's a reason even silverbacks
puff out their chests.
- [DON BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Damn.
Oh, hey, look at Captain Nashville
with that old-man strength.
You gotta add more weight.
Uh, no, Buck, don't add weight.
Yeah, I'm adding more weight.
[DON EXHALES]
Nice work getting in their heads.
Laws of the jungle.
Old man's repping out with 45s.
Yeah.
Let's see his reflexes.
- Heads up!
- [DON WINCES]
- Hey!
- [TOM] Nice catch.
- What the hell was that, man?
- [TOM] Relax, Tiny.
- It was an accident.
- No, no, no, I wanna know
- My hand slipped.
- What kinda bush league
- crap are you pulling, man!
- Ryan, enough.
- I said my hand slipped!
- Enough!
He said it was an accident.
It's all good.
Here's your ball. Enjoy your workout.
Thanks, Captain.
♪♪
I'm telling you,
they did that on purpose.
No question they did it on purpose.
113 family meeting right now.
[BUCK SIGHS]
Come on.
[ROXIE] Hey, Cap.
You called for a family meeting?
- [DON] Can you shut the door?
- Yeah.
[DON] There are ears everywhere.
So, unfortunately, I think
we're gonna need to, uh,
change our strategy on the games.
- [TAYLOR THOMPSON] Hmm?
- Why?
Because I'm out.
- [TAYLOR] Oh, Lord.
- [RYAN] Dad!
What happened?
Boston happened.
He was psyching 'em out so bad
that they "accidentally" threw
a medicine ball at my head,
and he caught it like a freakin' ninja.
Yeah, it was more
like my pinkie caught it.
Rox, would you do the honors, please?
- [BONE CRUNCHES]
- Aaaah!
- Yep. That's gonna hurt.
- Oh-oh!
- [EXHALES DEEPLY]
- Yeah, you're gonna need to ice it.
Probably splint it for a week.
- [EXHALES DEEPLY]
- Gosh, those Beantown snakes.
They really think they
can come into our house
and do that to our captain?
Oh, hell nah.
That's what I told him.
We should have 'em disqualified.
And I told you that we
don't complain, we get even.
Best way to get revenge is to beat 'em
where it matters most,
and that's at the games.
How are we supposed to do that
without our captain?
This is why we drill.
So the next hero of the 113 can step up.
The only question is
who's it gonna be?
♪♪
Nope.
Yeah, no. Hard pass.
Wh What
What are y'all talking about? What
Rox, well, you run a 4'7 40.
Taylor, you're the deadliest shot
with the hose
in the entire county. Why
[CHUCKLES] Why wouldn't
you wanna compete?
You know we would run through fire
for you on any call, Cap.
Absolutely.
But when it comes to competition,
- you Harts can be kind of
- Insane.
Both of you.
Yeah, and the opposition seems worse.
Well, somebody's gotta do it.
And I pity the poor soul.
Sorry I'm late.
The Carls wouldn't stop
talking my ears off.
Y'all know they make over 600 varieties
of cheese in Wisconsin?

[CAMMIE] Folks,
it all comes down to this.
Boston leads with Nashville
and LA tied for second.
Our final event is the partner relay.
It's worth five points,
and it could give
Nashville or LA
the chance to close the gap
and win the trophy.
But no matter what the scoreboard says,
I think we can all agree,
we feel the love and respect here.
