NEWSMAN: A powerful storm hit land in Haiti yesterday morning,

causing massive destruction in a nation still recovering

from August's devastating earthquake.

-Residents are now grappling with catastrophic... -(scoffs)

Man, why anyone would want to live

in the path of constant hurricanes

will never cease to amaze me.

Right.

They should move here, where nothing bad ever happens.

Oh.

Fair point.

I'm going there.

You're going where?

To Haiti?

-(chuckles softly) -Yes.

I want to help with relief efforts.

Since when?

Since people I know reached out and asked me to.

It's not the first time.

I've always had a reason to resist, but...

I think I ran out of those reasons.

Okay, okay, my head is spinning right now.

-When? -Soon.

I have to talk to the hospital first.

I still have a few surgeries on my calendar.

For how long?

A month or two.

Maybe longer.

So are you leaving me?

It's only for a while. If you want to be mad

at someone, blame my boyfriend.

He introduced me to a world of folks

who never hesitate to rush into an emergency.

I think some of that rubbed off.

You know I'm really in love with you, right?

I had my suspicions.

-(dog barking in distance) -(birds chirping)

-MAY: Oh. -(Athena groans)

-Don't mess up. Don't mess up. -Mm-mm.

-(whimpers) -Oh, you're nervous.

-(Athena chuckles) -Oh.

-ATHENA: Uh... -MAY: Oh, no. Ooh. -HARRY: Be careful.

Whoa, whoa. Don't be... Be careful.

-Oh, you're nervous. I see you shaking. -Be careful.

-Oh! (gasps) -Dude! -(laughs)

-What? You want to play like that, huh? -Oh, my God.

-ATHENA: Mm-hmm. -(laughing)

BOBBY: All right, make room for some food.

-(Athena chuckles) -MAY: Oh, my...

HARRY: Double cheese and onion?

BOBBY: Harry special, right there.

(chuckles)

Michael, quit loitering!

Come eat!

Uh...

Uh... (sighs)

Hey, uh, you guys,

I have some news.

David is going to Haiti.

Haiti? Why?

Well, he knows some people there that are doing relief work.

They need doctors. He wants to help.

And he's leaving next week.

Well, how do you feel about that?

I'm proud of him.

You know, sad for me.

But before he goes, uh...

I'm gonna propose.

Michael.

No, Athena, it's not what you think.

What, that you want to put a ring on it

because David's leaving and you're scared?

No, it's just...

I've been thinking

about being without him for the next few months,

and I realized that I don't want to be without him ever.

You know, I want to be with him for the rest of my life.

And I don't want him to leave without knowing that.

MAY: Well, that's sweet.

I'm happy for you, Dad.

-Oh. Thank you, honey. -(chuckles softly)

HARRY: So,

now I'm gonna have three dads.

Uh, eh,

something like that. (chuckles)

-Father's Day is gonna suck. -(laughter)

-MICHAEL: This guy. -But...

I like David, so...

you can marry him.

You know, I felt like he was already part of the family.

Right? (chuckles)

-So, what, you want my blessing? -Uh, you know,

it would be nice.

But I am going to propose either way.

-(chuckling) -You know, Bobby and the kids

already said yes,

so you're outvoted.

Well, you know, you're lucky that I'm happy for you.

-MAY: Mm. -So, congratulations.

Thank you.

So how are you going to propose?

("Shining Star" by Earth, Wind & Fire playing)

-MAY: Mm-hmm. -Well, um...

HARRY: He doesn't know.

I have never been more unsure about something in my life.

♪ Yeah, hey... ♪

If you don't see exactly what you're looking for,

we also do custom.

This is crazy.

You made a phone call,

and now there's somebody at the house

with a box full of jewelry.

It's like it's The Bachelor.

Well, this is L.A.

You know, I can have groceries, a car and a pizza

all delivered in under two hours.

Though picking one might take some time.

HARRY: What are you gonna wear?

No.

Hell no.

Wait a minute. Are you proposing

or applying for a bank loan?

I'm picking him up after work.

I wanted to take him to a fancy place for dinner,

but all of my nice clothes are pre-pandemic.

MAY: Just listen to your gut. What would David like?

♪ So very dear, yeah... ♪

This one is kind of nice.

-MAY: Ooh. -David hates diamonds.

And how do you even know that?

We were watching TV one time, and a jewelry commercial

came on... the two months' salary one.

And he called it a racket.

If my wallet had lips, it would kiss you.

Have you thought about where you want to get married?

Like a church or a destination wedding?

-Hawaii's not that far. -Okay, don't tell me

I need to start thinking about your wedding,

because I'm not ready for that.

I'm not sure I want to get married.

But I need to be looking for a dress, like, yesterday.

Yeah.

-♪ Shining star come into view ♪ -(chuckles)

Th-There's other options.

No. Mm. No.

Not bad.

But it's a nice tie.

MICHAEL: You know what? Can't I just propose

with a nice watch?

We can engrave in less than two hours.

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.

He's going to say yes.

So calm down already.

Okay, okay.

All right, all right. I-I love you.

The procedure should take about two hours.

What if the anesthesia doesn't work?

Or what if it works too well and he doesn't wake up?

I've been looking for a way to beat my insomnia.

Can you be serious for one second?

Maya, it's routine.

-It ain't brain surgery. -DAVID: Hey.

Well, it is brain surgery.

MAYA: Darren.

Honey,

don't wait around here fretting.

Go to the movies.

You'll get to see your chick flick,

-It's a win-win. -Babe.

Sweetheart, it's gonna be fine.

Doc, can you tell her?

I know it sounds serious, Mrs. Morgan,

but today's procedure is routine.

For you. You're a brain surgeon.

We're gonna take good care of him.

That's a promise.

Wait.

Here.

I'm gonna want that back in a few hours.

Okay?

Yeah, he's fine, he's fine. So, so sorry about that.

-It's my fault. I-I didn't see it. -THEO: You're fine, young man.

Just keep your eyes on the road next time, all right?

Thank you. Come on, let's go see your mom, yeah?

Hold the elevator, please!

You seem awfully quiet.

Thought you'd be happy to be seeing the last of this place.

Guess I'm just naturally moody. (chuckles)

Well, we're all going to really miss you.

You know, Callie, um, I-I want to...

-Oh. -Here you go.

-(chuckles) -What floor?

Four, please.

Sorry, Rupert, what were you saying?

Um, uh...

Take care.

You, too.

DAVID: Evening, everyone.

CLAIRE: Dr. Hale, patient is prepped and ready.

-Time out completed and documented. -Thanks, Claire.

CLAIRE: So did you tell Michael about Haiti?

-How'd he take it? -About as well as you did.

(Claire chuckles)

Okay. Let's get that patient's camera up and running.

Parker, this is Sofia.

I don't know what to do with a baby sister.

I mean...

All you have to do is love and protect her.

We have a major explosion at Alvarado Union Hospital.

This is a multistory building

with fire involving several floors and spreading.

Task Force 153, Task Force 305,

Task Force 118, please respond.

Hospital evacuation is in progress.

Critical patients needing immediate transport

to local area ICUs.

LAPD providing road closures and traffic control.

Responding four more task forces and rescues

as well as two additional chief officers.

Mobile command and triage center setting up ASAP.

Additional companies will be to follow.

HOSPITAL MANAGER: All right, everyone, listen up.

Ambulatory patients go to parking lot A.

Triage patients go to parking lot B.

Ambulance transfers go to lot C.

And please, stop calling 911.

Explosion was on the fourth floor, Charlie side.

The sprinkler system lost pressure in the concussion,

so evac is already in process.

Anybody who can walk has already vacated.

The rest are gonna need our help,

starting with the nursery.

Cap, there's 600 beds in there.

What are we gonna go do with them?

-911. What's your emergency? -911. What's your emergency?

911. What's your emergency?

All right.

L.A. County Medical Alert Center has provided us a list

of surrounding hospitals

and available beds. Let's keep updating capacity.

Unit 120 diverting patients to L.A. County Hospital.

Unit 120, do not divert to L.A. County Hospital.

-ICU is now full. -But I've got a heart patient that needs immediate attention.

Your nearest hospital is going to be Mont Grove.

-Yeah. -Sir, there is a fire.

No one can go into the hospital.

-MAN: But my sister's in there! -All patients are being evacuated.

-Evacuated to where? -Command center will have updates about your sister.

Where's the command center, out here in front?

Yes, the tents in the parking lot.

DANIELS: You sure you're okay?

Yeah, my ears are still ringing from the explosion,

but I'm fine. How do I get inside?

You don't. You leave that to us.

But-but my boyfriend is in there.

-WOMAN: We need a paramedic over here! -Hey.

Please. Please. Hey, listen.

He's a surgeon. His name is Dr. David Hale.

People are still being evacuated.

You wait for him out here, you let us do our job.

Okay.

Copy. I'll let him know.

-Dr. Hale? -What do we know?

It was an explosion in the maternity ward.

Fire has not been contained.

They're advising we close immediately.

We're almost done here.

Maternity ward is on the east end of the hospital.

Let's continue on until someone tells us otherwise.

Let's hope they get that fire under control.

(babies crying)

Hey, you're okay, you're okay.

-Good? -Yeah.

All right, here comes the first one.

It's okay, it's okay.

Here we go.

Let's go down there.

I know, I know.

How's it looking up there, Buck?

Uh, smoke is starting to breach the door, Cap.

Okay, let's double-time it, guys.

We move quickly and carefully.

(babies crying)

Hen, how are they all doing?

All healthy so far, Cap.

Running oxygen for possible smoke inhalation.

COMMANDER (over radio): Any available paramedics,

report to the fourth floor

east corridor for evacuation assistance.

Copy that. 118 has two coming your way.

Hen, I want you on the fourth floor, eastern side.

Ravi, go with her.

Help, help, help!

Sir, these paramedics are gonna help you.

My kids. Where's my baby?

Okay, all the babies have been evacuated from the nursery, sir.

No, no.

Our daughter wasn't in the nursery.

She was with my son, Parker.

He's eight years old.

(Sofia crying)

Sofia.

Shh, it's okay.

It's okay.

Hello? Hello?

Help! Anybody here?

(coughs)

-What's your name, sweetie? -Parker.

And where are you right now, Parker?

In the hospital.

My mom just had a baby.

-(Sofia crying) -Parker, are you with the baby right now?

Yes. I-I lost my parents.

There was an explosion! We're alone!

I woke up on the floor.

Parker, I want you to stay very low to the ground, okay?

Can you describe where you are?

Do you see a room number?

It should be right outside the door.

-Can you see it? -Yes.

I see one. It's 318.

Room 318. Great, Parker.

You're doing fantastic, honey.

-Should we leave? Where should we go? -No, no, no, no.

You stay right where you are. I'm sending help to you.

Just keep close to the ground for me, okay, honey?

You and the baby stay away from the door.

BOBBY: Hey, I need you on the third floor.

We got an eight-year-old boy, Parker.

He's trapped up there with his baby sister.

I thought that floor was cleared.

Well, they must've missed him in all the chaos.

He dialed 911 from a patient's room, 318.

Back up the ladder.

No, fire was right outside the nursery.

Stairs.

Dispatch, my guys are on the way.

Copy, 118.

-How many more up there? -Hard to tell.

But there's a guy helping dig people out of the rubble.

-One of ours? -No, one of ours.

-A nurse? -A patient.

LAFD! Anybody up here?

There's one more up there-- he won't leave.

-(man grunting) -LAFD. Sir!

LAFD. Sir, we got to get you out of here.

I'm fine. Help me move this.

(grunting)

HEN: Oh, my God.

-No pulse. -It's not Callie.

-Sir, the hospital's been evacuated. -No, no.

There's-there's still someone here who needs help.

-Callie! -Hold up. No, no, sir?

You need to go now and let us do our job.

It's not safe in here. Sir!

-It's Rupert. -Okay, Rupert,

we appreciate your help, but you must leave.

I'm not leaving without Callie.

Listen to me, it's too dangerous in here, okay?

I'm not asking you! I am telling you.

I survived stage-four cancer.

I can survive this.

-Ravi. -I'll get him.

-Sir, please wait. -(phone ringing)

Yes.

Dr. Hale, the fire has breached the fire door

and is entering the oncology ward.

All nonessentials evacuate now.

I'm staying with this patient.

Then so are we.

All right.

I want all oxygen and anesthesia

to this room shut off immediately.

Start bagging.

-(Sofia fussing) -Parker, honey, you doing okay?

-You doing okay? -(Parker coughs)

Parker?

I put the towels under the door, but the smoke's still coming in.

Is there water in the room?

A bottle or-or a pitcher?

-Yeah, a pitcher. -Great.

Pour it on the towel you placed under the door, okay?

And soak it really well, okay, baby?

Let me know when you're done.

(coughing)

Done.

Hello? Hello?

-(coughing) -(phone line beeping)

Hello?

Come on, come on.

Unit 118, this is Dispatcher Collins.

We've lost connection with a minor caller

in room 318.

Line is dead.

EDDIE: Copy that, Dispatch. We're almost there.

BUCK: This is us.

Damn, it's bad up here.

(grunting)

EDDIE: Heading that way,

but this floor is fully involved.

I told him to take shelter in the room,

shut the door and seal it with a towel. Room 318.

BUCK: We can't go any further without a hose line.

EDDIE: Guess these will have to do.

Aah, too hot! The flames are too high!

(static crackles)

Firefighter Buckley, Firefighter Diaz,

are you there?

Do you copy?

(coughing, groaning)

Firefighter Diaz, do you copy?

Did you make it to room 318?

There is no 318.

It's gone.

Fire took it.

Copy.

I think you need to take five.

-I'm fine. -No, just take it anyway.

(exhales)

(beep)

911. What's your emergency?

ATHENA: Michael!

Michael!

Athena!

How did you...?

May called me.

-Are you all right? -Yeah, I'm fine!

It's David-- he's the one still inside the burning building.

(frantic chatter)

(siren wailing, horn honking)

LAFD is calling for a mandatory evac. We've got about

five minutes before they come in here and drag us out themselves.

That won't be necessary. Almost done.

Margins are clear.

(beeping)

He's hemorrhaging.

-Blood pressure's dropping. -Everything's dropping.

I have to stop the bleeding.

Approaching stroke territory.

Okay, you all need to leave now. I mean it. Go now.

With all due respect, Doctor, we leave when you leave.

What do we say? Faith in science.

And each other.

Hen, over here! Come on!

-Is she alive? -Callie? Callie?

-(coughing) -RUPERT: Thank God.

Ravi, get a tourniquet on that leg.

Callie, your pulse is strong.

Did anything hit y-your neck or-or your head?

-Don't think so. -Okay.

Give me some fingers and toes.

Okay, good, good, good. That's very good.

I'm gonna get this collar on your neck,

bandage your wound and get you the hell out of here, okay?

So glad we found you, Callie.

When that explosion went off...

Can't believe you're here.

You're not a patient anymore.

Yeah, well, I got used to this place.

I'm not leaving just yet.

(creaking)

Get her out of here.

-Get out! -(grunting)

Rupert?

(grunts)

(panting)

You okay?

This kid, he was eight years old.

And his sister?

I know.

What are we supposed to do with that?

We put it away and we save the next one.

-Did you get into room 318? -Negative.

318 was lost to the fire.

Well, the little boy just called me back.

Uh, hold on, he-he's alive?

-Where is he? -He's still saying 318.

Is it possible you were at the wrong room?

No, but I think he was.

Yes. On the fifth floor.

The little boy Parker and his baby sister.

They found them.

-What? -The little boy.

He gave you the wrong room number.

What-what do you...

How is that possible?

He called back.

He saw the numbers in a reflection in the hall.

You figured that out?

A firefighter did when I radioed him.

So I guess you could say this was a group effort.

-You were part of that, too. -(sobs)

Oh.

Okay.

MICHAEL: Athena.

Anything?

No.

Nothing.

Bobby!

Um, excuse me.

Where's David?

Have you seen him? I-I think he's in one of the ORs.

Well, he should've been evacuated by now.

What's he still doing in there?

He was in the middle of surgery

-when the explosion happened. -He didn't come out.

I think he's still in there.

You got to find him, Bobby.

I will see what I can do.

He can't die on me.

He is not gonna die.

He's lost 250 cc's and counting.

Let's have blood on standby.

-On it. -There's the aneurysm.

It's already ruptured.

I need a clip to stop the bleeding.

Generator failure. We are on battery backup.

Start a timer. We've got 20 minutes.

Internal bleeding, compact fracture.

She lost a lot of blood, but her vitals are good.

What about him?

Broken neck. No signs of life.

Hey.

You okay?

I was supposed to save him.

Not the other way around.

You did everything you could, Ravi.

I don't see how you do this.

I have faith in Bobby.

And so should you.

-David. -I can't now, Bobby.

We need to evacuate now.

If I walk out of this room, this man dies,

and I can't let that happen.

I promised his wife.

And I promised your husband.

Michael's not my husband.

Well, he wants to be.

He's standing outside this hospital

right now with a ring in his pocket--

or maybe a watch, I'm not sure--

waiting to propose.

(sighs)

-I have to finish. -I'll give you ten minutes.

I need 12.

I will do my best.

-Yes. -Oh, my God.

(indistinct chatter)

Over there.

(siren wailing)

HEN: Callie?

How are you feeling?

Where's Rupert?

He didn't make it.

And I'm not so sure we would have, either, without him.

I found this on him.

I can't read it.

Would you?

Sure.

(paper rustles)

"Dear Callie...

All my life, I've been one of the unlucky ones."

RUPERT: Glass half full because

that's simply all life had to offer me.

So when I got cancer, I thought, "Of course."

Just another small pour from life to me

as we clinked our glasses for one final goodbye.

(Sofia crying)

But when you came into that chemo room

with a smile on your face,

you changed my perspective.

Taught me that I could pour myself a tall glass

and stay a little while longer if I fought like hell.

And we did.

I beat it.

We beat it.

Together.

I am eternally grateful for you

and your faith in me the last three years.

I pray to God I will not see you inside this hospital again,

but I sure do hope to see you

on the other side. Take care, my dear.

And thank you.

Rupert.

I get why he did what he did.

Rupert?

I spent practically my entire childhood in hospitals.

Those doctors and nurses become your family.

I didn't know that.

It's not exactly fun party talk.

It was chemo on the weekends instead of soccer tournaments.

But those people cheered me on just the same.

They saved my life.

So I get why he ran back into the building.

To pay it forward.

I guess that's why you do it, too.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

Better.

Thanks for earlier.

Not sure I really did anything.

My number one rule:

no crying at work.

(sighs)

Least I didn't do it on the floor.

Sorry you had to see that.

Don't know what you're talking about.

I didn't see anything.

-(siren wailing) -(horn honks)

-Oh, let's see the bling. -Ooh!

-ATHENA: Nice. -MAY: It's amazing.

MICHAEL: All right, everybody.

As it turns out, I have one more announcement to make.

Go for it, Dad.

Okay, as you know,

David is going to use his incredible gifts

to help those in need in Haiti.

-BOBBY: All right. -ATHENA: Mm, aw. -(applause)

-Yeah, that's so wonderful. -MICHAEL: And, uh,

I've decided to go with him.

You know, I-I can't save lives,

but I can help rebuild one.

Dad.

Now, Harry has already given me his approval,

and I hope that you would, too.

That's amazing.

I'm really proud of you.

MICHAEL: Oh.

I learned from watching you.

All of you, really.

You know, with, uh, my brain tumor

and then the pandemic and-and then my job,

you know, at times, I-I really felt a...

(exhales) Felt a little lost.

But last night,

I watched people come together

and save someone that they didn't even know.

More than one.

And I said to myself,

"I can do that, too."

("That's How Strong My Love Is" by Otis Redding playing)

That's wonderful, Michael.

I mean, not in an actual fire,

because that's terrifying, you know,

and you people are crazy.

All right, on three, everyone.

Okay? One, two, three.

ALL: Merry Christmas!

Where's Bobby? I need my partner.

-Uh, there he is. Hey. -Hey.

I thought I was your partner.

Home isn't a place.

It's people.

-HENRY: We got you these on the way back. -Aw.

We are so proud of you.

Well, who knew

that people-watching could be better than TV?

-Hey, hey, wait. Bobby, get in here. -BOBBY: Oh, no.

-I shouldn't. It's just... -Come on. Just one.
