9-1-1: Lone Star (2020) s01e01 Episode Script

It's Time to Get Out of Town

1 So it's all down to this, folks.
A&M's last chance to save their season.
The Aggies are in field goal range with four seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Their kicker is 17 for 25 for field goals on the season.
The snap is good, kick is up, through the uprights! A&M gets three.
We're going into overtime.
Whoo-whoo! Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Ah! Oh, kick me! The flames! The flames are moving fast! Just stay calm, sir.
Where are you? I'm at the Farm and Feed Factory, off Old Walker Road.
I'm in the kitchen in the main building and I'm so fired.
126, please be advised, caller is trapped in the break room in the center of the compound.
Dispatch, this is Engine 126.
This place is going up like a tinderbox.
We are talking about at least a four-alarm.
Okay, y'all take care of yourselves out there, you hear? All right, keep it at the base! Hold on to it! Watch your step.
Help! Over here! We got another one! We got another one! Hey, up there, got all that water in the tower.
Yo, Garrity.
Hit it with everything you got.
I can't get down from here! Right at the base! Harkes, we need more pressure.
We're almost dry, sir.
What's going on? Hey, Cap, I think I remember seeing a hydrant on the map about a hundred yards that way.
If I can run a four-inch line to it, we could have a fair fight.
Get 'er done.
All right, stepping off.
Hey! Y'all be ready to hold on tight! All right! Yeah! Take that! All right! Come in 126, do you copy? Dispatch, this is 126.
What's up? We just got a call in Spanish from a maintenance man.
Said they store fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, in that facility.
Y'all need to pull those men back.
Hey, Engine 126! Engine 126, fall back! Fall back! Fall back! Ladder 126, do you copy? Ladder 126, please respond.
Ladder 126! Ladder 126.
I'm gonna ask Alex to marry me tonight.
Dad, please don't say anything negative, all right? I already bought the ring.
How about moving in together first? Grand gestures, right? Isn't that what you always say? Big swings? I've also been divorced twice.
New York Fire.
We're here to help.
Help! Someone, help! Come on, help me up! Get me down from here, please! Get me out of here! Oh, God, I love New York.
Please! Help, help! So, uh, you gonna tell me what you really think about this proposal, or are you just gonna keep pretending that you don't have an opinion? You're an adult, you think it's right I say go for it.
Really? Yeah.
Thanks, Dad.
Hey, you okay? Yeah, it's some viral thing I can't kick.
I'm gonna go to the doctor, get some antibiotics.
All right.
Hey.
I'm happy for you.
These are tumors.
They're stage 1B, which means they haven't spread to your lymph nodes, which is very fortunate.
We caught it early.
Lung cancer? But I had a chest X-ray last year.
You were at ground zero when the buildings came down, yes? Yeah.
Then I don't have to tell you by the 20th anniversary of 9/11, more survivors who were there that day and during the cleanup will get sick or die than people killed on 9/11 itself.
This is gonna kill me, isn't it? If you're going to get a diagnosis like this, it's the best-case scenario.
- Can I work? - Yes.
But here's my advice: Don't worry about the physical parts of this.
You're young and strong.
The numbers are on your side.
It's the psychological part of the diagnosis that trips most people up.
Let this be an opportunity to look at your life, your work, your relationships, and make sure they're all you want them to be.
My son's getting engaged tonight.
Will I make it to the wedding? I don't like to give timelines, but we will do everything we can to make sure you do.
- Hi.
- Hi.
This is nice.
Yeah, I wanted some place really nice.
So I wanted to talk to you about something.
- So do I.
- Let me go first.
Um Captain Strand.
We were about to give up on you.
Beth Healy with the Department of Justice.
We were supposed to meet at nine? Yes, we spoke on the phone.
So sorry.
This is Deputy Fire Chief Alden Radford from Austin, Texas.
Welcome to New York.
Thank you.
What is that, a meteorite? That's a reminder.
It's from the South Tower.
The, uh The heat was so intense, it melted metal, and the guys from this house went in anyway.
That's the standard they set for us here.
Captain Strand, I believe that you're aware of the tragedy that happened in our department? Yes, I am.
I'm very sorry.
We want you to come down to Texas and do for Austin what you did here.
No one has ever built an entire house from scratch before.
But you have, Captain, after 9/11.
Why is the Department of Justice involved in this? There was a bit of an inclusivity issue down there.
Civil Rights division got involved, so we had to step in.
Four years later, it's getting better.
There are 48 firehouses in Austin, 35 of them have made meaningful changes.
We take this issue very seriously.
Hasn't been easy.
Well, I'm flattered, but if you're gonna put diversity first, shouldn't you hire somebody who's, you know, diverse? We need someone like you.
An outsider who truly understands how much rebuilding this house is gonna heal the community.
Look, I appreciate the offer, but I was born in Santa Monica, I moved to New York when I was 15, I have lived here ever since.
My son is here.
I mean, I appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to decline.
All right.
I tell you what, why don't you Why don't you give me a call if you ever change your mind? Will do.
Thank you.
Hey, do you know where TK is? We thought you could tell us.
He hasn't come in yet.
TK! Open the door! Yeah, it's Captain Strand.
I need the ladder ambulance at 2735 West 7th, apartment 105.
And bring the battering ram.
TK? TK! TK! He's in cardiac arrest.
Get the EMTs over here now.
Sir, you should let us take over.
Give me the Narcan! Dad.
Dad.
- Dad.
- It's okay.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's okay, it's okay.
Damn it, TK, you promised me this would never happen again.
Where'd you get the pills? Come on, Dad I mean, there's an opioid epidemic.
I mean, you could throw a stick and you'll hit ten guys selling Oxys.
Is this your first relapse? Is there something you want to tell me? No, I haven't touched a pill in years.
I swear.
Were you trying to kill yourself? No.
He's in love with somebody else.
And that's why he's been acting weird.
A Spin Cycle instructor named Mitchell.
I'm sorry.
Are you gonna have to report this now? We used the battering ram.
The whole crew was there.
The last thing I need right now is to be suspended.
I'll report it as an accidental overdose.
That'll satisfy them.
But it won't satisfy me.
It is tough love from now on.
You want out of this? You do this my way.
Therapy, twice a week, with a therapist that I choose.
And pack your stuff.
We're getting out of town.
Dad, please, I am not in the mood for a vacation.
I'm not talking about a vacation.
This place is exactly like it was the night the call came in.
They shuttered it the next day.
It's like a tomb.
Dad, tell them you change your mind.
We we don't belong here.
We were invited here.
Yeah, not by anyone grieving the loss of those men.
I mean, they're not even ready to get rid of the dead flowers on the sidewalk.
And now what, some city slicker's gonna come in here and scold them on how they're doing life all wrong? City slicker? An outsider.
A stranger.
Sometimes it takes an outsider.
Someone they can blame, and possibly hate.
Just don't go out of your way to prove the point, okay? You know me.
I tread very lightly.
So, is this in the budget? I find people work better in spaces where there's more natural light.
What you got there? Resumes.
Yep.
They've been coming in from all over the state.
Got a lot of good people here.
This one here, that is my past Uh, who's he? Oh, that's Mateo.
Frequent flyer in the academy.
Never passed, but he's a good kid, so I hired him as my driver.
All right, Chief.
Well, I will look at your resumes.
I'm casting a slightly wider net.
This crew can't just be good.
They gotta be the best.
Gotta be the 1927 Yankees.
No one's gonna cut us any slack.
We need exceptional people.
Gotta be battle tested.
But this chick just seems kind of crazy.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
This is Captain Triplet from Ladder 106 Miami FD.
We're still waiting on that marine unit.
We got two civilians in the water.
What the hell do you think you're doing, Marjan? No! Miami Fire and Rescue Instagram got, what, - 6 million likes now? - Nine.
Cardi B reposted it last night.
You've racked up 11 reprimands in one year.
That has to be a record.
Well, my parents taught me if you're gonna do something, be the best.
You sure you got the right Mateo Chavez? You set AFD academy records in multiple categories.
Field stuff is easy.
The field is where you're tested.
Except you have to pass the written exams too, but I flunked out.
Four times.
When you wash out that many times, why do you keep coming back? Because I was born to do it, sir.
Insubordination, reckless behavior.
I'm allergic to poor leadership.
Insubordination, insubordination.
When you were washing your boss's car, you were wiping down the inside of the door handles.
Why? Nobody would ever know if they're clean or not.
I would, sir.
Dad, you bring this guy in, people here would lose their minds.
Yep.
Gun! How'd you know he was the arsonist and he had a gun? Got lucky.
Yeah, lucky, my ass.
You got a stack full of Life Saving Commendations, which tells me you have a gift for threat assessment.
Would you say that has anything to do with you being trans? Growing up the way I did, there was a lot of folks who wanted to hurt me, so I guess I learned to figure out who they were before they figured out who I was.
How would you feel about relocating to Austin? Well, look, I'll be honest.
The real reason I agreed to come out here is 'cause I've always wanted to check out South by Southwest.
Thanks, Cap, but I transitioned on the job in Chicago, and that was hard enough.
I don't wanna imagine what things are gonna be like down in Texas.
Things have really changed for me in Miami since that video went viral.
For the first time, I genuinely feel respected.
Can you look me in the eye and tell me that your department's not using you as a prop? How do I know you're not looking for a prop of your own to show everybody how woke you are? My teachers all said I was a little slow.
I don't know what your teachers told you in the past, but I know what you're not.
You're not stupid.
- I'm not? - No.
You're thorough, you're relentless, and you're exactly the kind of man I want in the 126.
When I look at you and what you've accomplished, I don't see a Muslim or a woman.
I see a kick-ass firefighter.
You know, somewhere in this town right now is a kid who is just like you were.
Feeling scared, helpless.
I'd like you to show him, or her, or they, it's okay to be who you are.
And I'll double your salary.
You were there, the night of the tragedy.
Lone survivor.
That's gotta be rough.
It was six weeks in the hospital, so.
I'm good now.
- Are you? - Mm-hmm.
'Cause it says here you haven't completed your CSID.
Ah, well, you know, I never really had much use for talk.
I'm sorry about your crew.
They weren't just my crew.
You know, you should know that.
They were my brothers, so Let's just let's just cut the The fake-ass condolences, and I don't even understand why I had to come down here to interview for a job that I've had since I graduated high school.
You're not.
This isn't an interview.
I invited you down here out of respect to tell you to your face that I wasn't sure whether you'd be ready to come back.
Now, having talked to you, I am sure.
You're not.
- PTSD - PTSD my ass.
I am the best firefighter in Travis County.
That may very well be, but until Hey, look, man, I saw what you're doing when I came in.
You got a whole, you know, "We are the world" thing going, right? But you got no place for a guy like me who can actually do the job.
Mr.
Ryder, I'm gonna do you a favor.
You gonna do me a favor? Who the hell do you think you are? This is my house.
It was.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry.
So how about this? How about you take your "sorry," and you stick it up your ass.
There's a Jacuzzi tub in the master and another bath downstairs.
All the appliances are new.
Kitchen was renovated last year.
Great backyard, hill country views.
Rent's 4,500.
You're kidding.
If that's a problem, we can talk to the owners.
No.
It's not a problem.
I'll give y'all a minute to chat.
I can rent this in Texas for less than a studio apartment in Red Hook.
Well, 'cause that Brooklyn real estate is dumb.
I mean, I think we kind of have to do this.
Isn't it a little much for just one guy? What do you mean? I'm I'm not living with my dad, like, permanently.
Am I? My only priority right now is that you live.
That means keeping you under my roof.
Remember our deal? You do what I say? By the way, don't you have a meeting before your shift? All right.
All right.
I'm not leaving, Dustin, so you may as well open the door.
Fine, I'll just remind the whole neighborhood that Dustin Shepard is a murderer! You know you're not supposed to be here.
It's Iris' birthday.
She's 28 today.
You know what I thought would make a great present? To give her a proper burial.
I don't know what happened to Iris.
You can fool the damn cops, but you cannot fool me! She spent the last night of her life alive in this house.
Tell me what you did to my sister! You can hide all you want! You will never get rid of me! I'll be back! On Christmas, Easter, Earth Day! Hey.
You okay? Do you have an inhaler? No.
But it's fine.
I'm okay.
Until you're not.
Mijo? Is there a problem? The problem is your son has asthma and no medication.
He needs an inhaler.
We don't have insurance.
Can't afford it.
I volunteer with a group.
Anything happens, call this number.
We help, no questions.
It's okay.
They're here for me.
Hey, Carlos.
Hey, Michelle.
You can't keep doing this to yourself.
You've gotta get out of this rut, chica.
Happy to.
Just find me a single damn lead on my sister.
You ever consider that the reason we haven't found any evidence of foul play is because there wasn't? Hey.
Can you just drop me at work? My shift starts in 20 minutes.
I'm not an Uber.
I wasn't gonna tip.
Man, y'all sure do like y'all peppers.
Yeah, so should you, bro.
Texas Monthly says it's the new super food now.
Cranks up your metabolism, boosts your immunity, natural aphrodisiac.
Ah.
And perfect ingredient for revenge.
So what, you gonna slip a ghost pepper in Tony's taco or what? Hey.
The man filled my shampoo with hair remover.
He deserves to be punished.
The hell is that? Look like the devil's nut sack.
The holy grail is what it is.
Carolina Reaper.
2 million Scoville Heat Units.
Hottest pepper on the planet.
Hope you came hungry.
- Yes.
- Always, cuz.
Here we go.
Yo, who is that? Her, in the blue.
Oh, Maria.
- Hygienist.
- Mm.
She works with Tanya at the office.
Married.
- Damn.
- Yeah.
Hey, but if it makes you feel any better, you never had a chance anyway.
So? How is it? A little bland, to be honest.
Real question is, how's yours? 30 years, you haven't grabbed me a soda from the fridge.
Now you're making me tacos? Come on, cuz.
Try that, yeah.
That's why you don't prank the master, bitch! Marcos! Marcos! Hey! My cousin's up here.
He's in bad shape.
Just spit up some blood.
You gotta help him, please! What's ETA on EMS? Supposedly on the way.
All right, till they get here, you assess the patient.
'Scuse us, 'scuse us, let us through.
Marjan, talk to the family.
See if he has any allergies.
Mateo, move these people back so we have some room to work.
You mean give us some room to work.
This scene belongs to us.
You must have missed the part where they made me the captain of the 126.
Michelle Blake, Paramedic Captain.
And this scene is medical, so I run the call.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, since when does EMS tell Fire what time it is? You didn't read the Travis County manual, did you? Uh, I'm more of a visual learner.
In Texas, EMS calls the shots involving medical emergencies, so you do what I say, Captain.
Airway sounds blocked.
Blood in the sputum, esophageal spasms.
You see his little pepper garden? This is Boerhaave syndrome.
Get me the suction tool, and a 1% solution of Lidocaine-Epinephrine.
Here? He's not gonna make it to the hospital.
I need your men to move him onto the picnic table now.
You heard the captain.
He's got a ruptured esophagus.
His chest cavity's filling with fluid, drowning his lungs.
I've gotta get the fluid out.
Suction.
Come on, cuz.
Come on.
Thank God.
Baby? You home? Hey, babe.
Hey.
Cheat day come early this week? You know you want some.
I do.
So you went radio silent on me today.
How'd it go? The big talk with Captain Strand.
Oh.
It didn't.
He says he don't think I'm ready to come back, and he says that he's worried that I got PTSD, which is just an excuse, you know, 'cause I'm fine.
Except for the nightmares, Judd.
Well, you know, fortunately, I only have to work when I'm awake.
Okay, so, you'll get another job at a different station.
I heard the 154 is looking.
No, ma no, I can't.
I'm Look, if I walk away from the 126, it's like I'm walking away from them.
So what are you gonna do? I don't know.
Look, the captain's got it in for me.
He don't give a damn that I got 20 years out on that rig.
This job is everything to me.
That ain't fair.
Well, sweetheart, I hope you're not trying to tell a black woman how tough life in Texas is.
- No.
- Mm-hmm.
No, no.
When you asked for my hand, what did my father say to you? He, uh, well, he said that he would die bloody before he let a redneck from Seguin anywhere near his baby girl.
And what did you do? I went back the next day and I asked him again.
And the day after that.
- And the day after that.
- Mm-hmm Even built his pool deck, as I recall.
I ain't building Captain Strand no pool deck.
My point is, Judd, is the man I love has never taken no for an answer.
So do not start now.
Turn some lights on in here now.
Mole check? Uh Pimple check, actually.
Pimples? You get pimples? Yeah, some of the stuff I have to take can cause acne.
What's your routine? Your skincare regiment.
Soap and water? Are you insane? That is the worst thing you could do.
Soap dries you out.
- Isn't that a good thing? - No.
Single biggest mistake all men make when it comes to skincare is not washing properly, which is particularly problematic for guys like us.
You know, we work, we sweat, we break out, so I start my routine with a gentle exfoliating cleanser.
It's all organic, and it has detoxifying malachite.
Uh, yeah, this looks expensive, Cap.
Oh.
Here, take this for now.
It's got soothing botanicals.
Guards against razor burn.
Open it.
Huh? Huh? A little cedar, a little spruce, a little bergamot.
They put wood in it? Finally, moisturizer.
This is the engine.
Keeps the whole thing moving.
No, no, you can't have that.
This is very precious to me.
I think I'm gonna stick with soap and water.
Hey, Cap? Thanks for this.
You know, most people tend to tiptoe around me.
You should expect to be treated just like any other guy around here.
I have three commitments to my people.
Everybody who clocks in will also clock out, everybody gets a fair shake, and no one, and I mean no one, gets left behind when it comes to skincare.
Thanks, Cap.
Captain Strand? Officer Reyes, Austin PD.
- Good to meet you, sir.
- Good to meet you.
Single vehicle accident.
Looks like she hydroplaned, hit the light pole, and rolled the vehicle.
How many people inside? Just the driver, Allison Parker.
Doors are too smashed to get her out, and don't look now, but you're about to have an audience.
Show 'em what we got.
Allison, can you hear me? She's unconscious.
We gotta move.
Hey, Cap.
We got gas in the water.
The fuel tank must have busted.
Everybody, get back! Mateo, disengage that battery terminal.
TK, get the CO2.
Paul, I need you to get me the Jaws of Life.
On it, Cap.
Allison, hold on.
Stay with us.
All right, team, let's get this windshield off.
You watch yourself.
Marjan, you're up.
Looks like she's pregnant.
I got a pulse.
She's trapped under the steering column.
If we can't cut her out of the car, we cut the car off of her.
We gotta get her out.
I'm worried about this baby.
Almost done, Cap.
Allison, stay with us.
Hey, Dad, the EMTs just pulled up.
- Nice and easy now.
- You got her stable? All right, let's get her up.
Quick.
We got to check on the baby.
All right, guys, set her down.
Scene's all yours, Captain.
Strong radial pulse.
Ma'am? Ma'am.
My baby! My baby! Is my baby okay? Listen, we're gonna get you to the hospital so they can check on you and your baby, okay? This baby and my other baby, Henry.
My 10-month old.
He's in his car seat in the back.
Marjan, what do you see in there? There's baby seat attachments, but no baby seat.
All right! We're looking for a car seat that probably got tossed when this thing rolled.
We're gonna assume this child is still alive.
Why don't you guys start up at that tree line.
We're gonna look on this side of the bank.
We'll meet up in the middle.
Where's Paul? Hey, Cap, over here! The SUV was already rolling when it struck the pole.
She hydroplaned into this guardrail and started rolling from there.
The doors must have flung open with some force, because Oh, my God.
Hey, Henry.
Hang on.
My baby! Mommy is here.
I see him.
Trying to get to him.
My baby! Henry! Oh, no! The baby! Whoo-hoo! Yeah, Cap! I think this belongs to you.
Thank you! Thank you! God bless y'all! All of y'all! He's an impressive guy.
He's my dad.
Oh snap, it's already got, like, 2 million views.
Check this out.
We're trending as TheDreamTeam.
Okay, look, I've already gone viral twice this month.
At some point, I'm gonna need an agent.
No phones at the table.
Here's to to the future of the 126, - and the memory of the old.
- Cheers.
How you doing? I'm okay.
Really? Do I need to be worried about you? No, I'm drinking mineral water.
How'd your AA meeting go today? Apparently, they're way hipper in Austin than in New York, so I actually really liked it.
Thanks for bringing us down here.
I really like the crew, and I like that I get to start something new with you.
I think we're gonna be just okay.
Look, TK.
Dad? I just love you.
Ah.
Aw, we should go.
That's him? Okay.
We ain't leaving.
Judd, you would deny your wife's one night to dance because he's here? No, sir.
Come on.
Let's get some drinks.
All right, y'all.
Now who's ready for some good old Texas line dancing? Captain Strand, shall we? Oh, no, no.
You do not want to see me line dance.
Oh, are you shy? I thought you weren't scared of anything.
Ah, now I see why you invited us all here.
I see you.
Trying to exert your dominance? Well, I just think a man should have to earn his spurs.
Out in the country past the city limits sign Well there's a honky-tonk Near the county line I thought you said I didn't want to see you line dance.
I didn't want to show you up.
They got whiskey, women Music and smoke It's where all the cowboy folk Go to boot scooting boogie Hey.
Hey.
When it's quitting time Do you wanna dance? I fire up my pickup truck Yeah.
I go flying down that highway To that hideaway Stuck out in the woods To do the boot scooting boogie Yeah Heel, toe, do-Si-do Where'd you learn how to dance like that? Ah, the whole cowboy thing was huge in the city in the '90s.
There was a bar called Hogs and Heifers.
We'd line dance every Thursday.
Guess I never lost my step.
Oh get down, turn around Go to town, boot scooting boogie Excuse me, Captain Strand.
Sorry, I'm Grace Ryder.
Judd Ryder's my husband.
Oh.
Owen Strand.
We've actually met, Captain, over the radio.
I work 9-1-1 dispatch.
I took the call that night.
I was on the line with my husband when the explosion happened.
He was running back towards the danger.
Yeah, I read the report.
And his Commendation.
And I read yours.
It was all online.
You and Judd are a lot alike.
You know that saving people is like oxygen to him.
And he's suffocating.
Yeah, well, he needs to take a little time to take care of himself before he can take care of anybody else.
I'm not asking you to throw him back into the action right away, Captain.
I know he's not ready for that.
So what are you asking me? What I'm asking is that you do what you do best.
I'm asking you to save him.
Please.
Have him come to the station tomorrow.
Let's see if there's something I can do.
Okay.
Thank you, Captain.
Oh, and welcome to Austin.
I have to say, I was surprised meeting your wife.
'Cause she's black? Because she's wise.
She's a smart lady.
You married up.
So did I, the first time.
With TK's mom.
The second time was Ah, anyway, never mind.
Grace thought I should, uh come in here and apologize to you.
Said maybe you'd give me my old job back.
There you go.
Wise.
But my old job don't exist anymore 'cause when you trashed them, you trashed it.
What? Well, when you threw them out, when you threw out every picture and every card, every memory of those men, those incredible men, you just you trashed it all.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, cowboy.
Nobody trashed anybody.
Did I drag this place kicking and screaming into the 21st century? Yes.
Because I know that after a tragedy, people need a fresh start.
Oh, I get it.
You're a real American hero.
We should all just bend down and kiss your Gucci loafers because your men died in an attack in New York City with the whole world watching, and my boys bit it in a stupid manure fire in Texas.
Yeah.
I have cancer.
I've never said that out loud before.
Only three people on the planet know.
My doctor, me, and now you.
So, at some point I'll have to face this diagnosis, just like you have to face what you've lost.
I barely got the lid on this thing, Cap.
If I take it off, I don't know if I can get the monster back in his cage.
I'm sorry for what I said.
I'm sorry for everything, and I appreciate you trying to help me out, but This ain't never gonna work out.
Thank you.
Hey! Help me! Aw, man! Oh, no! All right.
Chavez, Strickland, why don't you get dinner started? Nothing that comes out of a box.
Oh, man.
It's the first thing I did when I redid the station in Manhattan.
Put up one of those.
So we could see their faces every time we went out on a call.
To ensure that we honored their memory.
Their sacrifice.
Your men, your brothers, they'll never be forgotten.
And they call it PTSD, but they should call it PTSI, 'cause that's what it is.
It's not a disorder, you've been injured.
The monster's coming out either way, Judd.
Believe me.
Sorry, is this a bad time? Hey, Judd.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, how are you? Hi.
Hey, hey, sweetheart.
Owen, this is Colleen, and this is Mable.
This was Chuck Parkland's wife and daughter.
Oh, it is an absolute honor.
We saw you save a baby on the news, so we brought y'all cookies.
Oh, thank you so much, but you see, I'm keto.
Ah, no, no, he's not.
No, no, no, no, he's gonna eat it, and he's gonna love it, ain't you? Mmm.
This is the best cookie I've ever had.
The secret is Daddy's lard.
It's Premium Parkland Lard.
It's been passed down generation to generation.
Chef's father gave it to him, and now it is Mable's turn to cook with it.

Chef always said anybody in the 126, same as blood to us.
So, we just wanted to say, welcome to the family, Captain Strand.
Well, thank you.
That means everything.
Well, we'll let y'all get back to work.
It's good seeing y'all.
Oh, and I love what you've done with the place.
My Lord, it was so depressing.
