Okay, I... I know you're under a lot of pressure
to downsize right now, but...
I-I just want to remind you that I am,
very dedicated to this team.
The numbers don't lie, Archie.
What is this? Customer surveys?
Customer survey. Singular.
Somehow, only one of your customers
felt the need to fill one out in q3,
and he ranked you... "Neutral"?
Why would you even fill it out, then?
I hate to do this, Archie. I really do.
Okay, so don't.
I was supposed to do it before Christmas.
But you were feeling charitable. Got it.
Honestly, I just forgot that you worked here.
Okay, look. Okay.
Please, just give me one more chance, all right?
I-I'm saving up for my wedding.
A-And I promised my cousin
that I would help him with a deposit on an apartment.
If I don't get him out of our place,
my fiancée is gonna kill me.
Sorry, man.
It's business.
Dale.
Not everyone is cluck n pluck material.
Clean out your locker, okay?
Vicky, honey? I'm home early.
Come on, cuz.
God.
Hello?
Help me.
Why is this happening to me?
I'm in here.
I told you he's not here.
Vicky?
This isn't right. We have to stop.
Alex?
God, you're a good kisser.
What?
Nothing like your stupid cousin.
What?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
God.
This is the worst day ever.
Yeah.
Lafd. Anybody home?
Dispatch said they heard distressing sounds on the line.
Sh-should we use the ram?
Yes, buck. We can use the ram.
Lafd! Lafd!
My god.
Somebody here called 911.
- No. - No.
Not us. Not us.
It was me.
Who said that?
- I did. - Excuse us.
Excuse us.
- I'm in here. - Guys, get him out of there.
Yeah, hey.
Archie.
- Who's Archie? - My boyfriend.
Fiancé, actually.
So, you're the boyfriend?
No, I'm the cousin.
Wait, you're her cousin?
- His cousin. - His cousin.
Is that much better?
How did you even get in there?
Well, I was tidying up.
Like hell. You were spying on us, weren't you?
Archie, where's the trust, cuz?
Okay, hen, chim, check him out before we move him.
If you two could step back, please, let my people work.
- Thank you. - Hi, Archie. My name is hen.
Can you, wiggle your fingers and toes?
Yeah. Yep.
Okay, that's great.
- Little hard to breathe, though. - All right.
He's satting at 95.
The frame is compressing his chest, cap.
All right, guys, let's get him out.
Okay, on three. One, two, three.
No, this thing's really jammed in there, cap.
Jaws?
Nope, saws. We can't risk it shifting more.
- Let's cut those slats. - Copy that. Excuse me.
Coming through.
- Here, jacket. - Yep.
- Just hang tight. - I'm not going anywhere.
Archie, when the bed came down on you,
did you hit your head or lose consciousness or anything?
No, unfortunately, I was awake for the whole thing.
So, why didn't you speak up?
I don't know.
I tried to at first
I think I just wanted to mostly disappear,
and... I guess I kind of did.
You know, I'm the kind of guy who just...
Blends into the furniture.
Just, usually not quite this much.
Okay, hen, watch out. Last one.
Okay.
All right. Nice and easy. Hold on a second.
My back.
Let's slide him over. I got you.
- Yeah. - Okay, come on. There you go.
That's it.
Take some deep breaths for me, okay, Archie?
Let me just see if I can...
- What do you think, hen? - He's a little dehydrated,
but his vitals are strong.
We should travel him to the er, just to be safe.
No.
I don't want to be a bother.
And I also just lost my health insurance, so...
You got fired?
- Archie. - Archie.
- Dude. - God.
Maybe I will take that ride with you guys after all.
I'm not gonna make it.
Hey. You're gonna make it.
No, the recipe said,
"perfect slow-cooker barbacoa in eight hours."
Not seven hours and 45 minutes.
Recipes are just a guideline.
To Helena Diaz, they're gospel.
First family dinner in the new house.
It'd better be fork-tender.
A slow-cooker is never wrong.
Your mom is gonna love it.
Who cares if she loves it?
Chris. Chris has gotten used to her cooking.
I don't want to give him a reason not to want
to move back in with me.
Wait, he's, he's finally coming to stay?
No.
No, just dinner.
I-I don't want to be heavy-handed about this.
Okay, have you asked him yet?
No. I was hoping he would ask me.
I want it to be his choice.
And you're setting your honey trap using barbacoa.
And the mavericks this weekend.
The mavericks. That's, that's Dallas, right?
I got us tickets.
They're not floor seats, but you can see the floor.
I'm gonna surprise him with them at dinner.
Father/son road trip.
That's gonna be big.
It's them.
Still got 11 minutes.
Okay, so vamp. It's gonna be great.
Bye, buck.
Hey.
- Hey, right on... time. - Hey.
Here you go.
Yeah, we would've been here earlier,
but you know how fu chow's
- gets all backed up. - Crazy.
I told you I was cooking.
Did you?
Well, you know, there'll be more options.
That's all.
So, did he show you his report card?
Not yet.
A's and b's across the board.
No way, that's great, Chris.
And you should hear what the teachers
have to say about him. It's remarkable.
Mi niño, we are all so proud of you.
Maybe I can get you an extra
honor roll bumper sticker for your car.
Unless your work doesn't allow drivers to have those things.
- No? - Honor roll?
- That's great. - It's not a big deal.
Big enough to celebrate.
And I've got just the thing planned for us this weekend.
Not this weekend.
Not this weekend?
Yeah, they've got the big regional
chess tournament in lubbock this weekend, remember?
No.
Yeah, i-I'm sure we mentioned it.
No.
Well, he's playing it cool,
but you're excited, aren't you, Chris?
I guess.
Yeah. Coach Calderon says he's a ringer.
Órale, I'd hate to be on the other side of that board.
- Yeah. - Well, still, I'd like to be there.
You don't have to, dad. It's really far.
Yeah, a-and they're only allowing one parent
per contestant this year.
So your father's going with him.
Sounds like a blast.
As long as I can keep up with this guy?
You two are gonna have a ball there.
Diaz boys hitting the highway.
The Diaz men.
- Right, Chris? - Right.
Right.
Good morning.
Hey.
Denny, let's start packing it up.
We're gonna be late.
You say that every morning, and we're never late.
Now is not the time to debate me.
Good morning, mama.
Now, that's the way I like to start my morning.
How do I look?
- Very snazzy. - Good.
I wanted to look very special. Today is a big day.
It's picture day.
Picture day.
It was on the calendar.
Mara, let's go.
You can finish your bagel in the car.
All right, let's go. Ooh, I almost forgot.
Do you think you could pick up dinner tonight?
We're prepping for the new launch at work,
and I'm probably gonna be late.
Y-You want me to pick up takeout? Tonight?
Yeah. Is that a problem?
N-No.
Great. Cooking is the last thing I want to do tonight.
You look nice today.
Thank you.
Kids.
Later, mama.
Bye!
Bye.
Hey.
Happy birthday, birthday girl.
Thank you, Athena.
So, what's the big plan for the big day?
Not a thing, apparently.
I think Karen forgot my birthday.
- What? - I'm serious.
They all just ran up out of here like it was any other day.
Not even so much as a card.
I'm sure they did not forget.
You know Karen.
She's probably got something great planned.
She just wants to surprise you.
I hate surprises. She knows that.
Athena, let me give you a call back.
That's my mother on the other line.
See, I'm not the only one who remembers.
Mothers never forget.
Go let that woman shower her baby with some love.
Thank you.
Ma?
Ma, you there?
Henrietta?
Hey, ma.
Hey, honey. Can I call you back?
I'm out for my walk.
But you were the one who called me.
I did?
Must've been a butt dial.
That happens a lot when I'm out rucking.
When you're what now?
Rucking.
It's supposed to be good for my bone density.
Honey, I was gonna call you today.
You were?
Yeah. Can I borrow your car?
- Hey. - Hey. Mom.
What are you doing? Stocking up for a sugar crash?
Are these really the healthiest choices you could make?
This stuff isn't for me. No, I'm delivering them.
Well, I suppose that's better than
thinking that's what's in your cupboards
when Christopher comes to visit.
No, when Chris comes over,
we usually just drink and smoke cigars.
Ha-ha.
- I've been meaning to call you, actually. - Yeah?
I was thinking about Chris
for his chess tournament this weekend.
How you feel if dad takes the weekend off and I take him?
But isn't the weekend a very busy time,
you know, for this?
Well, I make my own hours with... this.
I'm here now, so why don't I take more of the burden?
Your father doesn't think of it as a burden.
I mean, he loves spending time with Christopher. We both do.
So do I.
No.
No, no, yeah, of course you do.
God, I am so thick sometimes.
Look, i-I'm sure Chris would love for you to go with him.
Look, we're just gonna tell your father
that he's gonna have to give up his seat on the bus
because you decided to go in his place.
It's fine. He'll understand that.
I mean...
Dad... I guess he's been coaching him this whole time.
I-I don't want to hurt his chances.
He... Probably needs his coach.
There will be other tournaments.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Of course. Yeah.
Ooh, you know what?
You should probably get those things delivered
before they melt in the back of your new car.
I got this. Bye, honey.
There she is.
Yeah, we've been waiting for you.
Hey, fellas, what's all the buzz?
It's a special day.
It is?
All right.
Looks like everybody's here. That's great.
Today is a big day for the 118.
It's hen day.
Cap, you don't have to
the new high-efficiency nozzles
have arrived, and we get to test them out.
Maybe we'll even get lucky and respond to a fire today.
Small, manageable nonthreatening fire.
I thought the 123 was testing these.
They are, but the chief wants more data, so we are, too.
Who wants to tackle a hen and see what she can do?
- Do we have to call them hen? - Come on.
It's a new toy. You got to get excited.
Run flats?
Having a little trouble with my nuts.
My nuts?
Are you seri
seriously?
Okay.
Come on, you're not gonna do me like that.
Come on, you little son of a bitch.
No!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
For the love of god, stop!
Hey. Hey. Hey! Hey!
Wait, wait, wait!
- What the hell? - Help me!
Damn it!
- Are you the driver? - Yeah.
My Jack was jammed. We couldn't get him out.
Hi. Again.
- Archie? - Yeah.
- You-you know him? - We all do.
We do?
My fiancée cheated on me.
On top of me.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Archie. Hey. - Yeah.
- I remember, yeah. - Yeah. Hey.
You people ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Archie, a-are you in pain?
It's not super comfortable, you know?
How did this even... happen?
I was looking for my nut, and I...
Got caught when he, you know, rolled his tires.
Dumbass was lurking in the undercarriage.
I wasn't lurking.
Then why couldn't I see you?
Because nobody ever does.
Ravi, I want you to chock the tires.
Hen and chim, check him out.
Archie, how's your breathing?
Fine. A little tight in here, though.
Buck I want you to get an airbag under that stand.
We're gonna lift up the trailer a few inches.
Ravi, I want airbags and cribbing under the tractor.
We're gonna Jack it up so we can remove that outer tire.
All right, got it, cap.
He's satting at 93.
BP's 150/90. Cap?
He's stable.
Okay. Airbag going up.
All right.
One shoulder's free.
All right, let's lift up that tractor.
Okay, here goes!
Okay, let's hold it right there.
- Buck, hydraulic wrench. - Yep.
Already got it.
You're gonna feel some vibrations,
- but it shouldn't hurt, okay, Archie? - Okay.
Okay.
On three. One, two, three.
Easy.
I got him.
- Nice and easy. There you go. - All right. Easy, easy, easy.
Easy, easy, easy, easy.
Okay. Take some deep breaths.
Okay.
Is this your missing nut?
All right, I don't think anything is broken,
which is a miracle,
but I really think that you should get them
to take another look at it at the hospital.
Why? They didn't see me last time.
What do you mean?
After you guys dropped me off there,
I waited in the er, and I never heard my name.
Did you say something?
I didn't want to be a bother.
Archie.
Well, also, Vicky had texted me
and told me that my stuff was stacked on the curb.
I may be invisible, but my stuff is not.
I had to go back and load it up.
Are you living out of your car?
Well, just till I find another place.
Archie, y-you're not invisible.
You're making yourself disappear.
And that's your fault.
You know, it's okay to take up space in this world.
Instead of making yourself smaller,
put your chest out, make a noise.
You have to stand up and say, "hey, world, I'm here. I exist."
- Yeah. - "I matter."
"And it's my birthday, and it's not okay that you forgot."
Well, it's not my birthday.
It-it's a... it's a... it's a metaphor.
No, hen, listen.
Nope. It's too late.
It's your birthday, isn't it?
Well, hen
happy birthday.
Thanks, Archie.
Hen.
- Hey, buck. - Hey.
D-do you know what hen's favorite pie is?
You forgot her birthday?
Did you remember?
We're Facebook friends.
How old are you?
Can't believe you forgot her birthday.
Not just me. We all did.
I don't think a pie is gonna fix that.
Damn.
Wait, so are you getting ready
for your big basketball weekend with Christopher?
I didn't know Chris and my dad already had plans.
Well, what do you mean? Plans like...
You're not invited?
A chess tournament.
And my dad's going with him.
He's his coach.
Who cares? Just go anyway.
It's not that simple.
Chris is in a good place.
I don't want to damage him.
You're his dad. He doesn't have a mom.
If you don't damage him, who will?
It's your job.
I would have to kick my dad off the bus.
They're taking a bus?
Yeah, with limited seating, evidently.
Well, take an Uber. Y-You are an Uber.
Take yourself.
Don't you want to go?
Of course I do.
So, go. Nobody can stop you.
You know, dad up.
"Dad up"? That's your advice?
Yeah, hey, you tell him.
I hate to admit it, but in this instance,
I think buck is right.
Wha... you heard the whole thing?
Yeah. Why didn't you remind us it was hen's birthday?
All right. I'm hanging up.
Wait, wait, wait, have you got any good gift ideas?
Bye, guys.
Hi.
Chimney called you?
Hen... I am so, so, so sorry.
But I do have a present for you.
Is that a real gift?
Or something you pulled from your emergency gift cabinet
ten minutes ago?
Did I mention how sorry I am?
Delivery for henrietta Wilson.
Thanks.
That's so sweet.
I wonder who sent them.
Chimney.
He usually goes whimsical when he knows he's done wrong.
Yeah, a-at some point, this is gonna be
a funny story that we tell people.
This is not that point yet.
Thank you.
Here...
Bobby. Probably some gourmet chocolate.
See? We might've forgotten,
but we all want to make it up to you.
I just don't understand
how-how you, of all people.
Karen, you're the most organized person I've ever met.
- You have three label makers. - I know.
But the kids' schedule changed
and I just kept moving things around on the calendar,
and I... I think I just... deleted me?
J-Just please leave it on the porch.
I would, but I'm pretty sure
somebody would call child services.
I can't believe we forgot.
Happy birthday, mama.
Sorry, mama. Happy birthday.
Mara, I'll let you slide because this is
our first birthday together.
But what's your excuse?
I'm old. I don't need an excuse.
Plus, I birthed you.
You should be celebrating me.
I do celebrate you, mother.
On mother's day, on your birthday
why don't you guys take the cake into the kitchen
and we'll eat it after dinner.
Well, what can we say? We're sorry?
We screwed up? It happens.
You know you're being silly, right?
I'm yelling at people while holding a balloon bouquet.
Of course I know it's silly.
Hen, i-i... and it's very embarrassing
to have something that's so silly...
Hurt so much.
So I'm just gonna go be alone with my balloons.
And my chocolate.
So, does this mean no cake?
Sir?
Did you want to sign in?
Sure.
Don't see a lot of seats here.
That's why I always bring my own.
Who are you here for?
Christopher Diaz.
Chris. Love him.
His father is right up front,
if you want to go and squeeze right next to him.
- His father? - Ramon.
Thanks.
Come on, Chris. You know what to do.
Come on, son.
It's okay, Chris.
- I got you. - Dad?
Eddie.
His crutches.
Let me help you.
No, I got this.
Okay.
All right.
There.
See? Good as new.
I
I got nervous.
I know.
Hey, dad?
Yeah, Chris?
I
Hate chess.
Hey, no, come on.
You're just feeling that way right now.
No, I mean it.
I thought you loved it.
Grandpa loves it.
And you love grandpa.
And will you ask them if I can stop?
I don't have to ask them.
If you don't want to play chess, you don't have to.
I don't want them to be mad at me when I get home.
Hey, they're not gonna be mad at you, okay?
They-they love you.
They just want you to be happy. You know that, right?
Yeah.
And I want that, too.
You know, I was... I was gonna...
Ask this weekend if you wanted to move back in with me,
but... I think I changed my mind.
I'm not gonna ask.
No, I'm gonna tell you.
You're moving back in with me, whether you like it or not.
Because you're my kid.
You'll be my dad again?
I've always been your dad.
And I'm gonna start acting like it.
What?
Hey. Hey, stop!
Hey! Hey, I'm right here!
Wait!
Please stop!
Wait!
Everything's gonna be just fine.
Wait, wait, wait!
Sorry, brother. Didn't see you there.
Honestly, I just forgot you worked here.
You got fired? You're pathetic.
You're nothing like your stupid cousin.
Archie, you're making yourself disappear,
and that's your fault.
This is 727-l-30.
Approaching suspect vehicle.
Heading east on pico. What do we know?
Driver activated the silent alarm about five minutes ago.
Two passengers have texted 911
describing a white male suspect
with the driver at knife point,
forcing her to keep driving.
Any clue where?
So far, just following the normal route.
Dude, just put down the knife.
You see me now?
I'm sorry I bumped into you.
All right? I apologize.
Yeah, yeah? Well, too late.
I am done being knocked over, forgotten about,
- fornicated on! - No one's fornicating, man.
I am allowed to take up space in this world, okay?
People of the bus, you see me.
I'm a person in this world! I exist!
I matter!
Okay, well, you're... Well, you're staring at me now,
and-and you're making me feel uncomfortable.
Okay? So stop looking at me!
We thought that's what you wanted.
It is, I mean, was. I-I don't know!
Easy, man.
Hey, hey, hey, you stay back!
- Put it down. - Stay back.
Stay back!
No. No. Jeremy, don't die.
Don't die, dude. Come on.
You're okay. You're okay.
I didn't mean to.
Come on. Hey, you're okay.
- Where do you want us? - Standing by.
According to hrt, dispatch says that our hijacker
already stabbed one hostage with a carving knife.
- Has he been making any demands? - Not really.
Just raving about how he matters
and he won't be walked over and something about
taking up space in the world.
Did they get a description of him?
These items were left at the bus stop
where the suspect first got on.
We think they belong to him.
It's him, cap.
Yeah.
Commander?
I need you to let me talk to him.
He's armed and dangerous.
He might be armed, but he's not dangerous.
We've rescued him twice already.
Trust me, he wants to be rescued again.
Captain?
I don't love it.
But they could use a medic on board.
Move, move, move!
Any words of wisdom?
Yeah.
Don't get on the bus.
Archie.
It's henrietta Wilson.
Hen.
I hear you have somebody in there that needs
medical treatment.
Go away.
I can help.
Can I come in, pl-please?
I need to think!
Hen. I didn't mean to.
It was an accident, like, just
like, things just... they-they just got out of hand.
- And I... - okay. I-I can see that.
I just... let-let me just...
Okay. It's okay.
Let's see.
Did I... did I kill him?
I can stop the bleed.
But he'll need a hospital.
Fast, which means you're
gonna have to let him off the bus.
Yeah, sure, but-but-but... But just him.
Okay.
All right, cap, I'm sending out our patient
for massive transfusion protocol.
Meet us at the door with a gurney.
Nice and easy.
That's it. We got you.
We got you.
- Back, back, back, back. - Okay. Okay.
Archie, listen to me.
Why don't you just tell the bus driver
to open the door again and-and let the rest
of these people go.
But if they come in,
they're gonna, they're gonna get me.
No, no, they're not.
Because once all of these people
are-are off the bus and safe, then you,
you and me, we'll walk out together.
No, I-I don't think I can.
You can.
- Open the door. - Okay.
He's not gonna hurt anybody else.
How do you know that?!
How do you know that?
I see you.
Go ahead.
Go.
Go on. Go on. Go on.
Come on, come on, come on, go ahead.
Make sure your hands are where they can see them.
Go, go, go. Come on. Move. Move, move, this way.
Let's go. Let's go. This way, folks.
A-team, over here.
Okay.
It's you and me now.
You-you should just go.
Not without you.
They're gonna take me to jail.
Yeah, they will.
I'm so sorry.
Archie, I gave you bad advice.
No!
No, no, you gave me great advice.
Maybe, but... It wasn't meant for you.
It was meant for me.
I was feeling like everybody in my life
forgot about me.
I wasn't really talking to you.
It's like you weren't even there.
Wow. What... I know.
I'm no better than the rest of them.
No. Except you...
You got on this bus and you helped me.
You've helped me every time.
Well, then... How about... You drop that knife?
Take my hand.
And you come with me.
Can't I just go back to being invisible?
I don't think so.
I really don't want to go out there.
I know.
But you will.
You know why?
Because I asked you to.
And it's my birthday.
Speaking of your birthday.
He's got something! Take him!
No!
You saved me.
- A-Again. - What were you doing?
I was giving you your birthday present.
A keychain?
Yeah.
You know, it's, it's a chicken, like...
Like a hen?
I'll treasure it.
Archie mullin... You are under arrest.
All right. I'll be right back.
Okay.
Eddie, what's going on?
Dad didn't call you?
Yeah, he said you
pulled Christopher from the tournament.
Then you know what's happening.
You left your father in lubbock.
I didn't want him to lose his seat on the bus.
What are you doing?
Right now, just making sure
he's got everything he needs for tonight.
So he's sleeping at your place?
Yeah, until he's 18 at least.
I'll be back in a couple days to get the rest of it.
So you're really just disrupting his life right now?
I'm not disrupting his life, mom.
I am his life.
Because I'm his father.
Not dad.
And you, you're not his mother.
You're his grandmother.
And he loves you.
But you know what he hates?
Chess, mom.
He hates chess.
He's so anxious to please you and his abuelo...
- Okay. - That the kid's about ready to pop.
And you can't see it.
That is ridiculous.
He loves chess.
He is so good at it.
That's exactly what you said to me when I was 14
and I told you I wanted to quit ballroom dancing.
Probably in this very room.
Eddie, you loved ballroom dance. I know you did.
I mean, like, you-you took home every trophy.
Yeah, I did love it.
Until you and dad sucked out all the fun
and made it all about trophies.
Look, if you had kept at it,
you would've been on the road to a scholarship, honey.
You could've gone to college.
I could've gone to college anyway, mom.
I chose not to.
Yeah, well, look at you now.
You're a driver.
In this case, a getaway driver.
- Eddie. - Mom.
I love you.
I'm really grateful that you were there
for him when he needed you.
But now he needs me.
- Call you later. - Okay.
You ready?
Punch it, dad.

Tell me something I don't already know.
Hope everybody's hungry.
Bobby, this looks amazing.
All right, well, eat up. Soufflés come out in 30 minutes.
Okay, okay, you guys have
more than made up for missing my birthday.
You're all forgiven.
I just can't believe my wife forgot to remind me.
Well, your wife
can't believe that her husband forgot to look at the calendar.
You know,
I think this might end up being my best birthday ever.
Okay, I, think I'm done.
The whole list?
Yeah, I-I trimmed the boxwoods,
mulched the flower beds, cleaned out the gutters,
power-washed the porch
and resealed the flagstone out the back.
I will have to come back tomorrow to finish the cars.
Sounds great.
We're usually up around 7:00.
Great. I will see you then.
There is a to-go container for you by the back door.
Thanks, cap, and... Happy birthday, hen.

How long are you gonna make him do free yard work?
As long as he feels guilty.
We might have him until the fall.
Yeah.
Probably my best birthday ever.
Happy birthday.
Cheers.
