9-1-1 Nashville (2025) s01e16 Episode Script

1
- [TAYLOR] You're not peeking, are you?
- No, I'm not peeking.
- He is peeking.
- All right, Blue, open 'em up.
- So?
- What?
- That's for me?
- [CHUCKLES] Yes. You like it?
Like it? I love it.
A '66 Mustang just like the one I had.
But I can't accept this.
- Oh, come on. They can afford it.
- [BLYTHE EXCLAIMS]
Ryan. [CHUCKLES]
Look, you sacrificed your own car
and almost your life
to keep Nashville safe.
- You-You earned it.
- Yeah. We were gonna get you a new one.
But nothing felt right.
And I know how much you liked the old one.
I did.
Yeah, so your daddy searched all
over the state for the exact same model.
Mm-hmm. Yeah, this baby was waiting
for you in Memphis.
It is in mint condition, a-almost.
I can't believe
you went through all that trouble.
- Aw. Happy birthday, Blue.
- [RYAN] Yeah.
[TAYLOR] Happy birthday, Blue.
- Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Come on now. Let's get this party started!
["GOOD TIME HONKEY TONK" PLAYING]
[GIGGLES]
[BLYTHE] Taylor, want some more prosecco?
- Oh, why, yes, I do. Thank you.
- [BLYTHE] Yes. There we go.
- Yes. Thanks, Mom.
- Hey. Yes. You're quite welcome.
Sam.
Oh. Um, actually, I'm okay.
What? Since when? You love prosecco.
Oh. Just… Since… I've just been…
It's been giving me indigestion.
Oh, sorry.
- All right. Rox, refill?
- [ROXIE] Oh, yeah.
[PHONE BEEPS]
How are you doing?
[GIGGLES] Thanks, Blythe.
[PHONE BEEPS]
Okay. So who's got you all giggly?
I am not giggly.
It's just this dumb thing Elena texted.
- Oh.
- Oh.
Wait, are you texting with GlowUpByElena?
- What are you texting about?
- Yeah, Rox. What are you texting about?
[CHUCKLES]
So Elena says that Mama's Hot Chicken
has hotter wings than Fiery Frank's,
- which is obviously not true.
- No.
That's absurd. Frank's uses ghost peppers.
We've literally had 911 calls about that.
Thank you. That's what I told her.
Now she's daring me to a taste-off.
Um, you know what that sounds like.
- A date.
- Mmm.
- It's not a date.
- [RYAN] Mmm.
The two of you are arranging a time
to eat together at an off-site location.
First of all, I'm not even gonna do it.
And second, it's just chicken.
[TAYLOR] Mm-hmm.
[GIGGLES] It's just chicken.
Well, somebody most definitely is.
[CLUCKS]
- Roxie's got a date. [CLUCKING]
- I wanna meet her.
- Oh, my God.
- [CLUCKS]
["SWEET YOU" PLAYING]
You know this is sugar-free, right?
Yeah. Just not hungry, I guess.
Well, would you want a drink?
I mean, the bartender can make some
really great low-sugar cocktails.
I am okay.
And thank you, guys, again
for all this and for the car. I just…
[DON] Of course. Of course. But, uh,
- you-you sure you're okay?
- Yeah, I'm great.
Because you know, it's okay if you're not.
This is your party.
I just haven't heard from Mama all day.
Oh, she's angry you did it here.
You could say that. She, uh…
She kind of kicked me out of the house.
Oh, I am so sorry.
I-I know we… we drew a hard line,
but we did not intend
to come between the two of y'all.
It's not y'all's fault.
It was in the heat of the moment,
and I'm sure she'll come around.
But I still haven't heard from her
and it's the first time
she hasn't called me on my birthday.
That breaks my heart, honey.
But you know what,
if you wanna talk to her,
the phone works both ways.
[PHONE RINGING]
[PHONE BEEPS]
Which is ridiculous
because Elena totally likes her.
And if it's a planned meal,
then it is in fact a date.
You okay, B?
Yeah.
I-I just got a fully
restored '66 Mustang.
What is there to complain about?
I know that you're hurt
that your mama didn't call you back.
And it's okay to be sad
on your own birthday.
- I'm not sad. I'm mad.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
And you have every reason to be.
How petty is she that the second
I don't do exactly what she asks,
she throws me out to the curb
like garbage? Who does that?
I'm not gonna lie, it is messed up.
I mean, what if I had an emergency?
Would she even know? Would she even care?
I'm sure she would.
I'm not. She hasn't even answered my texts
about when to go back to the house
and grab my stuff.
She's leaving me on read. Her own son.
Why don't you let me take care of it?
I can reach out to her.
That's not your problem.
It comes with the territory
of being a girlfriend.
Well, thank you, baby. [SIGHS]
I just hate how much power
she still has over me.
I can't stand that I let her ruin today.
Mamas can cast a big shadow.
Sometimes it takes a while
to step out from under them.
But today isn't over,
and we can still turn it around.
Suddenly things just took a turn
- for the better.
- Shut up. [GIGGLES]
[DOOR OPENS]
If you're gonna be crashing here,
I'm gonna need a courtesy text.
- [GASPS] I'm sorry.
- No worries.
- I'm sorry.
- Happy birthday, Blue.
Thank-Thank you, Jalen.
[JALEN] Hope it's a good one.
Thank you.
- [TAYLOR] Good night!
- Night.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I think she's dying.
Okay, sir, take a breath.
What's your name?
[CALLER] Brian. Brian Williams.
My ex-wife is Vera. Vera Hoffman.
Hi, Brian. I'm Cammie. What's going on?
[BRIAN] I don't know.
You don't know?
What do you mean "you don't know"?
[BRIAN] I think somebody's
in Vera's house, an intruder.
[CAMMIE] Why do you say that?
- [BRIAN] I was just there.
- [CAMMIE] You were in the house with her?
[BRIAN] But I left.
Okay, you said she's at 913 Garfield?
[BRIAN] Uh. Yes, that's right.
I'm driving back there now.
- [PHONE BEEPS]
- PD respond to 913 Garfield.
Be advised, possible assault
in progress of a Vera Hoffman.
Copy you, PD 267 en route.
[CAMMIE] I'll have paramedics standing by.
- [SIREN WAILING]
- [CAMMIE] Help is on the way.
So, Brian,
you think she was being attacked?
[BRIAN] Yes, she called me screaming
like she was dying,
but I couldn't understand her.
But then she went silent.
That's why I patched you into the call,
so you could talk to her.
So you could help her.
A-Are you saying
she's on this call right now?
Yes, but she's quiet now. She's too quiet.
Vera, are you there?
[VERA GROANS]
- Vera, is that you?
- [VERA GROANS]
[CAMMIE] If you can hear me, just hold on.
We're coming for you.
[JALEN]
Dispatch, PD 267 arriving on scene.
[CAMMIE] PD, be advised the attacker
could still be in the house.
[JALEN] Copy you, Dispatch.
Hey, Jalen.
[JALEN] Dispatch said there could be
an active assault inside.
Y'all stay here
till I clear the residence.
Okay, good luck.
Be careful, Jay.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
Police! Open the front door!
[POUNDING ON DOOR]
- Police! Open up!
- [DOOR OPENS]
Can I help you, Officer?
We got a 911 call about an assault.
We're in the middle of Bible study.
- This is 913 Garfield?
- Yes, sir.
There a Vera Hoffman here?
[RESIDENT] Vera's house
is down the street.
- Uh, the house with the white pillars.
- Thanks.
- Dispatch, we got the wrong address.
- What?
We were just told Vera Hoffman
lives at 932 Garfield, not 913.
Headed there now.
We got the wrong house. Follow me.
Brian, did you say 913 or 932? B-Brian?
- [LINE CLICKS]
- Shoot.
[JALEN] This is 932. Y'all stay here.
Nashville PD! Vera, are you home?
Dispatch, door's open.
267 is entering the residence.
Copy, I'm watching on your body cam.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
We got blood.
- Rescue 113, I need you in here right now.
- [GASPS]
Copy you, coming in.
[JALEN] I'll stand guard
to keep the room secure.
Oh, God.
[ROXIE] Ma'am, can you hear us?
- Tay, get her on the LIFEPAK.
- [GROANING]
[JALEN] Dispatch, victim has suffered
what appear to be
multiple stab wounds
to the neck and chest,
possibly with a knife
from her own butcher block.
Oh, God.
[TAYLOR] Heart rate is 125.
BP is 53 over 25.
She's in hypovolemic shock.
She lost too much blood.
Start a line, run it wide open.
[RHYTHMIC BEEPING]
[TAYLOR] Inserting.
[GROANS]
[TAYLOR] Doc, she's coming to.
[MUMBLING] Br… Br…
- [MUMBLING] Br…
- [ROXIE] Hey, Vera.
- [MUMBLING]
- Hey. We're here to help.
[LIFEPAK BEEPING]
[TAYLOR] BP's dropping.
I can't get a pulse.
Starting compressions.
- Come on, Vera. Stay with us.
- [BEEPING]
- [STEADY BEEP]
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
[ROXIE] Come on.
- Pulse check.
- [TAYLOR] Nothing. She's flatlining.
- [STEADY BEEP CONTINUES]
- [ROXIE] Damn it. Resuming compressions.
Come on, Vera. Wake up for me.
[PERSON] Mom? Mom, why is the door open?
- Mom, what's going on?
- Stay back.
Mom. Mom!
[JALEN] It's all right.
Mom!
Today was a bad one. [SIGHS]
My worst nightmare happened at work.
Brought back a lot of old trauma.
We'd love for you to share.
I mean, if you're willing.
Well, a man called 911 saying that
his ex-wife was being attacked.
He was actually on the line with her.
He patched her into the call.
Oh, my God. So you could hear it?
Yes. I dispatched
first responders to help,
but the caller had given me
the wrong address.
To his ex-wife's house? Shady.
Yeah, it was.
Still, it was my mistake.
How is that your mistake?
I should've verified his address
in my system
and not just taken
the caller's word for it.
If I had,
maybe they would've gotten to her in time.
Well, how bad were the injuries?
Bad.
So at the end of the day, it probably
wouldn't have made a difference.
Well, we'll never know.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS]
The idea of that poor woman lying there,
hoping for help that arrived too late.
It just took me right back to my husband,
when he choked.
And all I could do was pray
that someone would come through
that door in time to save him.
And…
I'm sorry. [SCOFFS]
No, it's okay. Take your time.
The woman's name was Vera.
She's survived by her sister
and her 17-year-old daughter.
[SIGHS] And I can't stop thinking
about them.
Her wake is tomorrow,
and as crazy as it sounds,
I'm thinking about going.
Why is that crazy?
I don't know, maybe it's inappropriate.
Or maybe when they find out
that I dropped the ball,
they'll just throw me out. [SCOFFS]
Well, if one of the paramedics that
showed up too late for your husband
came to you to-to tell you
how sorry they were for your loss,
what would you have done?
Probably given them
the biggest hug in the world.
Well… All right, then.
["HIGH TIDES" PLAYING]
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [BELL CHIMES]
Dixie, thanks for meeting me.
Least I could do for the gal
my son's shacking up with.
Well, it's not shacking up.
My roommate and I are keeping a roof
over his head 'cause you kicked him out.
Oh, my God, cry me a river.
Blue thinks he's such a big boy now,
but he still sends his girlfriend
to pick up his stuff.
Can we start this over?
Why don't you have a seat?
Uh, his clothes and his hair products
are in here.
You will soon learn that he uses more
than a Texas beauty queen.
Yeah, I know.
[SIGHS] Look, his insulin
and cartridges are in here.
Just make sure he don't eat
too much fruit, especially pears.
- You don't get to do that.
- I don't get to do what?
Have it both ways.
Be his mother now,
and then not even pick up his calls.
Blue made it very clear
that he didn't want to hear from me
when he chose those blue bloods
over his own mama.
It broke my heart.
Doesn't have to be a zero-sum game.
Oh, honey, everything in this life
is a zero-sum game.
Shouldn't be when it comes to family.
So what'd they get my son
for his birthday, huh?
I'm sure Blythe pulled out all the stops.
[TAYLOR] A vintage Mustang.
[STAMMERS] I-I knew it. I mean,
I knew they'd tried to buy his love.
How am I supposed to compete with that?
That's the point. [SIGHS] You're not.
As thrilled as Blue was with the car,
he would have traded it all for a
phone call from his mom on his birthday.
Really?
Yeah. He was crushed.
Said you never missed a single one.
[SIGHS]
That is true.
[TAYLOR] Look, I have a shift,
so I should run. Thanks for his stuff.
Wait.
He was really that upset?
You're not the only person
who's heartbroken, Dixie.
[PERSON] I thought our photo
would be on the wall by now.
[PERSON 2] I know.
- But the fight's not over yet.
- Yeah.
[PERSON 2] Jen, here's the doc.
Hi, Mike. Jen, how are you feeling today?
Tense, terrified, and filled with hope.
Well, let's focus on that third one, okay?
[CHUCKLES]
You got nothing to worry about today.
You've been taking the estrogen,
progesterone as prescribed?
- Yes.
- [DR. GRAZA] Great.
Well, I'm gonna start thawing your
embryo, and I'll be back for you soon.
- Thank you, Dr. Graza.
- [DR. GRAZA] You're welcome.
That make you feel any better?
A little.
What if this one doesn't take either?
- This is our last embryo, our last chance.
- [MIKE] Hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Whatever happens,
we go through it together, okay?
Don't think about the future, Jen.
Like Dr. G said,
we have nothing to worry about today.
[SCREAMING]
Help is on the way, ma'am. Can you
tell me the address of the accident?
[CALLER] Inside Rolling Hills Fertility.
I'm sorry, did you say inside?
Dr. Graza was in the lab
when the car crashed through the wall.
She's pinned between the car
and the cooling tank.
- [DON] Everybody else accounted for?
- [NURSE] Yes.
- The driver?
- [NURSE] We pulled her out.
She seems okay.
- Taylor, check her out.
- [TAYLOR] Yeah.
Rest of y'all, come with me.
Hey, ma'am, can you tell me
exactly what happened?
It was the darndest thing.
The harder I pressed the brake,
the faster I accelerated.
[DR. GRAZA GROANING, CRYING]
[DON] Hey, ma'am. It's gonna be okay.
We're going to get you out.
[RYAN] Uh, Cap, we got a problem.
We got liquid nitrogen in the air!
Toxic debris.
Get all civilians out of here now!
Rox, get her some O2.
And everybody mask up now.
All right. We're gonna have to evacuate.
We'll check you out outside, okay?
- [DR. GRAZA GROANING]
- [DON] Rest of y'all come with me.
[ROXIE] We're gonna help you, ma'am.
Tell me where it hurts.
[DR. GRAZA] I'm so cold.
I think my arm is frozen
and pinned to the tank.
Blue, in the driver's seat,
see if you can turn it on
and reverse it off her.
On it, Cap.
- I'm gonna give you ten mils of morphine.
- Okay. [PANTING]
Ryan here is gonna get you on
the LIFEPAK to give you some O2.
[ALARM BLARING]
- [DR. GRAZA] Oh, no.
- [RYAN] What's that sound?
[DR. GRAZA] It's the dewar.
It's losing nitrogen.
- You got to save them.
- Save who?
[DR. GRAZA] All the clients' eggs and
embryos are in that dewar behind me.
The alarm means it's warming up.
[ROXIE] Yeah, it looks like it took
some damage from the crash.
What happens
if that temperature gets too high?
[DR. GRAZA] All those families
you passed out there,
all those people
lose their chance of being parents.
You need to save those eggs now.
Hey, how do we do that?
[DR. GRAZA] We need to get the dewar
to the nearest clinic
as fast as possible.
Okay, but we can't get to it
without getting you out first.
Dispatch, we need a second unit ASAP
for medical transport.
Copy you, 113. Headed to you now.
[SIREN WAILING]
How long till we can move this car?
We need to unpin her.
- [DON] Not anytime soon.
- Engine's dead.
We can't even get it in neutral.
Maybe we can winch it outta here.
[DR. GRAZA] You know what you have to do.
My arm is frozen.
You mean amputate?
[DR. GRAZA] The tissue's already necrotic.
It can't be saved.
But there's a chance to save the dewar.
You can save all the embryos
if you cut me out.
Rox, she's right.
Sometimes, the worst option
is the only option.
Okay. Ryan,
start a tourniquet above the elbow.
And somebody bring me a handsaw!
- [FIREFIGHTER] You got it.
- [DR. GRAZA GROANING]
Here you go, Doc.
Thanks, Tay.
Are you sure about this?
[DR. GRAZA] Yes. I'm sure.
It's the only way to save the eggs.
[ROXIE] You're a very brave woman.
Take my hand.
[SAW WHIRRING]
[DR. GRAZA GROANING, SCREAMING]
[ROXIE] Hold steady. Hold steady.
[DR. GRAZA SCREAMING]
[CRACKING]
It's over. You did a good, Doc.
[DON] Taylor, Rox, let's get her
on a stretcher.
Get her ready for transport.
Ryan, Blue, let's get the dewar.
[RYAN] Let's go, let's go!
This thing is looking pretty banged up.
What's the temp on the gauge?
[RYAN] It's negative 165.
Scratch that, negative 163.
It's negative 161 and rising.
We're too late.
Once that gets above negative 135,
all the eggs
and the embryos inside will die.
The next IVF clinic
is ten miles away from here.
Okay, boys, I got an idea.
Keep moving. Call them.
Tell them to bring out another dewar.
We're gonna do a transfer on the spot.
But, Captain, we don't have a way
to keep it cold out in the world.
- ["ROOSTER ROCK" PLAYING]
- You don't. We might.
Still minus 142. It's working.
Genius idea, Cap.
We'll see.
CO2's cold, but it ain't that cold.
[BLUE] Minus 138.
Minus 137. Cap, we gotta go now.
If it gets to 135, it's game over.
- Driver, we need to step on it.
- [DRIVER] Hold on.
[SIREN WAILING]
[DOCTOR] Hustle! Let's hustle!
What's the temp inside the dewar?
Minus 137.
[DOCTOR] Careful now.
Hurry, hurry.
Are they gonna have a chance?
Yes, you got them here just in time.
I think they're still viable.
Nice hustle, boys.
Congratulations. Y'all kept hope alive
for a lot of families today.
That's what we do.
[MUSIC ENDS]
Thanks again for coming with me today.
- Yeah. Well, you'd do the same for me.
- I would.
Well, I probably wouldn't ask you
to crash a stranger's wake.
Yeah.
[PERSON] Get out of my sight.
You are not welcome here,
you son of a bitch.
- [BRIAN] She was my wife.
- [PERSON] Your ex-wife.
I just want to pay my respects
and to be there to support my daughter.
Your daughter doesn't want to see you
because you killed her mother.
I would never hurt her! I loved her!
I don't care what the cops say,
Brian, okay?
You are a murderer.
Now get off my property
and don't come back here again!
Get out, you murderer!
- Is that the 911 caller?
- That's him. That's Brian Williams.
I'm sorry y'all had to witness that.
You're here for Vera's wake?
Yeah.
I'm Aubrey, her sister.
I was her sister. [SCOFFS]
I-I'm Cammie.
This is my sister-in-law, Blythe.
We are so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. Come in.
So how'd you guys know Vee?
We don't.
Not really. Um…
I'm the dispatcher that took the 911 call.
Oh.
Yeah, the cops told me
he gave the wrong address.
It's true, but I should have verified it.
I'm really sorry
that we couldn't save her.
I-I know it's probably
not any consolation at all to you,
but I wanted you to know that
I will never let that happen again.
I appreciate you saying that.
Took a lot of guts
for you to come here today.
But you're right, it is no comfort.
And if you really want to help,
you'll tell those cops to get off
their asses and bring Brian to justice.
I am sure they're looking into him.
It's still very fresh.
[AUBREY] No, they're not, actually.
They told me he was eliminated.
Already? How?
Guess his phone records show he was
on the road the same time of the murder,
and apparently it's not a crime
to give 911 the wrong address
unless you can prove it was on purpose.
But I know that he did this.
[PERSON] Aunt Bree's right.
My dad wasn't the same after the divorce.
Oh. You must be Olivia.
We are so sorry for your loss, honey.
Thank you.
Everyone knew that
he was still in love with her.
It's true.
He was doing everything he could
to stay around.
He was doing projects at the house,
especially tech stuff.
My dad was really good at tech stuff.
Vee was a millionaire ten times over,
but she hired him
to put in the security cameras,
which just happened to go out
an hour before the murder.
Surprise, surprise.
You're kidding.
No, and she just started dating,
and Olivia here thinks that maybe
he went over there to confront her.
Things didn't go well.
Now, I've lost both my parents.
I want you to know
I really appreciate you doing this.
I don't know what you're talking about
because I haven't done anything.
I definitely did not use my FBI badge
to access files
from a homicide investigation.
Well, then thanks for nothing.
Oh, you're very welcome.
Not a word about this in grief group.
[GIGGLES] Understood.
So is it true that the cops have already
ruled out Brian as a suspect?
Well, they took a hard look at him, Cam.
They photographed him, interviewed him.
He swears he just set up
Vera's new computer and left.
Yeah, right before
she got stabbed to death.
The timing is suspicious, but look,
he took a polygraph,
he passed with flying colors.
I mean, there's nothing
to connect him to the crime.
Other than the fact
that he gave me the wrong address.
It's possible that, in a panic,
someone could mix up a number.
I want to show you some things.
All right, let's see what you got.
This is the body cam footage from
the responding officer to Vera's home.
[REWINDING]
[VERA MUMBLING] Br… Br… Br…
Those were her last words,
but she couldn't get them out.
What does it sound like
she's trying to say?
[SIGHS] "Brian."
I think she was calling out
the name of her killer.
Look, it's chilling and heartbreaking,
but it's not evidence.
None of his DNA is on the murder weapon.
There's no defensive wounds.
The man has a rock-solid alibi.
According to his cell provider,
during the 911 call to you,
his phone was pinged right here,
Howard Road.
That's like seven miles from Vera's house.
At that moment. That's just a snapshot.
That's not the whole story.
It is, unless he can teleport.
Well, maybe he can.
One of the features of CyberSight
is it can track the location of
someone's cell in
real time during a call.
Okay.
[CAMMIE] So watch where he was
during my call.
[CAMMIE] 911, what's your emergency?
[BRIAN] My ex-wife's in trouble.
You got to help.
Her address is, uh…
91… 913 Garfield.
You see? He's on Howard Road
right where he said he was.
- Vera's house is way down here.
- I know. Wait for it.
[BRIAN] Brian. Brian Williams.
- [CAMMIE] Hi, Brian, I'm Cammie. What's…
- [CAMMIE] You see that?
- It triplicates, and one of the dots is
- [CAMMIE] You don't know?
- Right by Vera's house.
- Yeah.
I mean it could just be a glitch,
but Olivia did say her dad was good
at tech stuff.
He's not just good at tech stuff.
The guy's a private contractor
for the NSA.
So he might be able to spoof his location.
He might, yeah. Can you keep playing it?
[BRIAN] That's why I patched you
into the call, so you could talk to her.
So you could help her.
[CAMMIE] Are you saying
she's on this call right now?
Vera, are you there?
- [PERSON WHISPERS]
- [CAMMIE] Vera?
Wait, pause, pause.
Go back. Did you hear that?
Vera? It sounds like she's crying.
No, no, it's not just Vera.
Run it back one more time.
[CAMMIE] Are you saying
she's on this call right now?
- Vera, are you there?
- [PERSON WHISPERS]
- Right there. You hear that?
- [CAMMIE] Vera?
That's two different voices right there.
One's making a sound,
the other one overlaps.
Let me see if I can separate the stems
by pitch and frequency.
[ELECTRONIC BEEPS]
Yeah, you're right,
there's two frequencies.
Here's the first one.
[VERA GROANS]
Okay, that sounds like Vera.
Here's the second one.
[PERSON WHISPERING] Vee, let go.
[CAMMIE GASPS]
There's another woman there.
"Vee, let go."
Maybe she wasn't saying "Brian."
She was saying "Bree."
- So…
- So Vera's sister is Aubrey.
Her niece calls her Aunt Bree. Oh, God.
- This isn't about love. It's about money.
- Where are you going?
I have to warn Olivia.
[PHONE BUZZING]
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
Hi, Olivia.
Just wanted to check on you
and see how you're feeling.
Not too good, Aunt Bree.
Ever since dinner,
I-I've been feeling really dizzy.
My stomach's cramping.
Like your limbs are going weak?
Like you could maybe lose control of them?
Yeah, ho… how did you know?
You know that Xanax the doctors gave you
to help with the grief?
I crushed it all up
and put it in your lasagna.
You what?
[AUBREY] Yeah. I thought it would make
this next part a little easier.
[OLIVIA] No!
[GRUNTS, GROANS]
I warned you about
the loss of limb control.
- [OLIVIA PANTING]
- [AUBREY] Soon you won't be able to move.
You know, all I asked for
was a small loan from your mom,
and she refused.
She always thought she was better than me.
- Please, Aunt Bree.
- Shh. Stay still.
It's okay, it's okay.
Everybody will understand.
Your mother's death
was just too much to bear,
especially at the hands of your father.
- So you decided to end it all.
- [OLIVIA CRIES]
No, no, no, no, no.
- [OLIVIA SCREAMING]
- [AUBREY] Just hold still for Auntie.
[OLIVIA CRYING, SCREAMING]
[OLIVIA] No. [CRIES, SCREAMS]
It's okay. Shh.
Okay, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow
and I'm gonna find you.
And your mom's fortune will be mine.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
- [AUBREY] Who could that be?
- [WHIMPERS]
[DOORBELL CONTINUES RINGING]
Don't go anywhere.
Help. [CRIES]
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
You've got to be kidding me.
[JALEN] Nashville Police,
open the door, please.
[POUNDS ON DOOR]
No, just go away.
Nashville PD. Anybody home?
[BREATHES HEAVILY, MUMBLES]
Dispatch. PD 267 unable to complete
welfare check on Olivia Williams.
- Why not?
- [JALEN] Nobody answered the door.
Is there a car in the driveway?
Are there any lights on in the house?
Yeah.
Okay, then please don't give up.
Olivia could be in danger.
I understand, but I can't just
knock down the door.
Help!
- Check that. I'm going in.
- What happened?
[JALEN] I got eyes on Olivia
in an upstairs bedroom. She's wounded.
Aubrey, open this door now!
Open the door, or I'll knock it down.
[GUNSHOTS]
[GRUNTS]
Shots fired! Shots fired!
Send everybody you can!
Everybody, stay behind the trucks. We've
got an active shooter in the residence.
113, take cover.
I repeat, 113, take cover.
Everybody stay out of sight.
We heard there was an injured hostage?
Yeah. I saw her upstairs. That room there.
Has anybody made contact with the shooter?
We haven't been able
to locate a negotiator,
so dispatch is reaching out now.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- [AUBREY PANTING]
[BEEPS]
- Who is this?
- Aubrey, this is Cammie Raleigh
from 911 Dispatch.
Your house is surrounded.
I can see that. Thanks.
But there's still a way out of this.
Oh, yeah, what's that?
Surrender now
and let us give Olivia first aid.
We know she's hurt.
[AUBREY] Olivia is fine, okay?
But she's not going to be for long
if you don't give me what I want.
Listen, I'll do the best I can,
but SWAT is already on the way.
Anybody walks in this door,
they're gonna get shot!
Do you understand me?
I need to talk to a hostage negotiator.
And we're working to get one on the line,
but for now, I'm here,
and I'm trained in crisis intervention.
Yeah, but you don't have any power, okay?
So don't call me again
until you have somebody that does.
- Wait, Aubrey, wait.
- [LINE DISCONNECTS]
- Lorna, how far out is SWAT?
- Uh, about an hour.
Olivia may not have an hour.
I'm sorry, they just deployed
at an armed robbery in Franklin.
- Hits just keep on coming, huh?
- Yeah, they usually do.
Captain Hart, are you on scene?
113 here. What can I do for you?
We're trying to line up a negotiator,
but that girl inside
needs help right now.
It's gonna be tough to get to her
without getting shot.
That shooter's got
a direct line of sight on us.
How far away is SWAT?
Well, the bad news is,
they won't be there for more than an hour.
- So, what's the good news?
- She doesn't know that.
I was thinking y'all could give her
a little light show.
[DON] I like it. We're on it.
Ryan, Rox, Kevlar and helmets.
- Get ready to move.
- You got it, Cap.
Hold on, Captain.
Fire Department can't enter
an active scene without police presence.
Well, don't worry about it.
You're coming with us. Come on.
Stanley, did you find me a negotiator?
I'm trying… [SIGHS] …but two of them
are deployed with SWAT at the robbery,
and the other's down with the flu.
Damn it.
We need one for this plan to work.
Keep going, please.
I might know somebody who's available.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- [SIGHS]
[PANTING] Do you have that negotiator
for me?
Yes, I've got him on the line, standby.
I'm gonna patch him in.
[GASPS]
What the hell is that? Son of a bitch!
What's what?
You guys have snipers out there.
You better not be lying to me.
I warned you
they'd be getting there fast, Aubrey.
Excellent aim, firefighters.
I crush at laser tag.
Tell them to stand down
before I end it all!
PD, stand down! I said stand down!
Scary.
[DON] Okay, she closed the blinds.
Let's move.
Taylor, you swing the ladder up
around the window.
You got it, Cap.
Blue, keep tracking her
with that thermal gun.
Let's hope Cammie keeps her distracted.
[BLUE] I'll be watching
the whole time, Cap.
Okay, Aubrey,
I've gotten SWAT to stand down for now.
Where's my negotiator? Quit stalling.
[TURNER] Aubrey Hoffman.
[AUBREY] Yes?
This is Agent Nick Turner.
I'm with the FBI.
I'm here to bring this
to a peaceful resolution, okay?
What can you do for me?
Well, that's-that's not how this works.
I need you to tell me what you want.
You better have something to write with.
[RESPONDER] Be ready.
She's staying put downstairs.
Y'all are good to go.
[DON WHISPERING] Let's go, let's go.
Please be unlocked.
[WHISPERING] It's clear.
[DON WHISPERING] Hey. We get in, we
stabilize the girl, and we get her out.
[FLOORBOARDS CREAKING]
[JALEN WHISPERING] Dispatch, I'm in.
I'm staying at the top of the stairs
while EMS offers aid.
[WHISPERING] Sweetie, can you hear me?
Applying pressure dressing.
She needs blood now.
Ry, let's get her on the bed.
Cap.
Three, two, one.
Get her on the LIFEPAK while I run a line.
Okay, I get it. You want a plane.
It's a big ask.
Before I run that up the chain, I need,
uh…
[STUTTERS] …I need some more details
from you.
Like where do you want to go?
You don't need to know all that.
Actually, I do if you want enough fuel
to get where you're going.
Not to mention
we need to file a flight plan.
Heart rate is 171. BP is 52 over 30.
[RHYTHMIC BEEPING]
Come on. Come on, come on.
- [RYAN WHISPERING] Hey, it's okay.
- What's going on?
Shh. Olivia. You're okay,
but we need to be quiet.
She gave me a whole bottle of pills.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- [RETCHING]
- [THUDS]
- [COUGHING]
- Get her out. We got to get her out now.
- Son of a bitch!
She heard something.
[BLUE] Cap, she's on the move.
- Drop your weapon! [GROANS]
- [GUNSHOTS]
[AUBREY] You bastards!
No. Please don't.
- [DON GRUNTS]
- Ow! [GROANS]
[DON] Don't even think about it.
Stay there. Stay there!
- [DON] You all right?
- Just knocked the wind out of me.
Thank God for my vest.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYS]
- You broke my arm.
- Yeah, I should think so.
All units, we are clear in here.
We're clear.
Nice work.
Olivia. That's my daughter.
- Is she gonna be okay?
- She's gonna be okay.
You can ride with her
to the hospital, sir.
That's up to her.
Daddy, I'm so sorry.
I didn't believe you.
All that matters is you're safe.
Smart man.
Good work.
[SIGHS]
Oh, that's great news.
Thanks for the update, Sam.
I'll see you at brunch this weekend.
Okay, bye.
Oof! What a day, huh?
Aren't they all? [SIGHS]
- [CHUCKLES] Y'all headed out?
- Waiting on you, girl.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize.
Oh. It's all good.
Hey, Cammie, have you ever thought
about doing improv?
Uh, literally not once. Why?
Well, the way you came up with
that fake sniper bit,
when you were like,
"Stand down, stand down!"
My troupe's always
looking for fresh talent,
so I can get you an audition.
I'm actually already in a group,
and that's plenty.
Agent Turner. I thought you left.
I did. I-I, uh, had some stuff
I needed to follow up on.
- Oh.
- Ms. Raleigh, d-do you have a minute?
Yeah, of course.
- I'll see you guys tomorrow.
- [STANLEY] Mm-hmm.
- Good night, Cammie.
- Good night.
- We will see you around, Agent Turner.
- [TURNER] All right, Stanley.
So, any word on Olivia?
Yes, she is at the hospital now
with her dad
and they expect her
to make a full recovery.
- [TURNER] That's good.
- Yeah.
[TURNER] I hope that gives you
solace about Vera.
Now she can rest in peace
knowing her daughter's safe.
That's true. [SIGHS]
- Thank you for helping me with that.
- Of course.
You know, I was halfway to my office
when it occurred to me how crazy it is
that so far you and I have solved a
citywide hack and a homicide together.
Yeah, that is crazy.
Well, no, the-the crazy part
is the only real time we spent together
is either as a crime-fighting duo…
[CHUCKLES]
- Yeah.
- …or in a grief group.
- That's true.
- [TURNER] Yeah.
So I was thinking, I don't know,
maybe tonight we could grab a beer
or something,
celebrate for a change.
You know, just like a…
like a "job well done" kind of thing.
Agent Turner,
are you asking me out on a date?
Could be. Depends.
On?
On if you say yes.
Then I guess you are.
Well, all right.
Thanks again for picking up
the groceries, B.
It's the least I could do
for you and Jalen letting me crash here.
For the record,
we both like having you here.
Jalen too. It's nice having a full house.
Real full.
Mama?
Y-Your roommate let me in.
I hope that's okay.
You and I will talk about it later.
You know what,
I'm gonna go, uh, fold some socks.
Thank you.
What are you doing here?
I didn't want to miss your birthday.
My birthday was last week. [SIGHS]
I know.
But I was hoping
it wasn't too late to celebrate,
and that m-maybe you're ready
to come home.
I'm not coming home.
- Ever?
- Definitely not today.
I can't live like this anymore, Mama.
I won't live like this.
[SIGHS] Like what?
Under threat of conditional love,
where I'm always worried you're gonna
cut me out if I don't do what you want.
It hurts too much.
[DIXIE] It's true.
I have been guilty of it.
Just know that it hurt me too.
Then stop doing it.
That is why I came here.
To tell you I'm gonna stop.
Now these last few days not
talking to you have been killing me.
Me too.
Blue, I love you more
than anything in this world, Son.
And I want you in my life,
even if you're not under my roof.
I do too.
Can we move past this?
Of course we can.
[DIXIE] Oh, my God. Thank you.
So, what made you
finally decide to come over?
Well, Lord knows I can be stubborn,
but I can listen to good sense, too.
Especially when someone has the
guts to give it to me with both barrels.
- Taylor?
- [TAYLOR] Hmm?
What did you say?
It's between the two of us.
Let's just say you got yourself a keeper.
[DIXIE] All right, come on, y'all.
Let's make a wish.
Don't have to.
I got everything I need right here.
[DIXIE] Aw.
