9 -1 -1, what's your emergency?

Help me get her some air. Why don't I just punch it in fake? Catch all new

episodes Wednesdays. And check out our other Fox programs, Empire, Legal

and The X -Files.

We need your help, even if we don't trust you. Only on Fox.

Who are you?

Are you the same person you've always been?

If you'd asked me a week ago, I would have had an easy answer.

But a pulmonary embolism came in the middle of the night, taking my mother

my certainty.

Before, I would have said that I'd been losing my mother for years, as an

illness stripped away the person she once was.

But maybe the truth is, I'm the one who disappeared in slow motion.

Her things tell the story of who she was, who she was proud to be, a wife, a

mother, a grandmother.

I see her so clearly.

It's my own reflection that's become hazy.

Looks good.

Looks like a dining room again.

What's your emergency?

There's something wrong with my wife. She's acting crazy. Diane!

Open the door! Sir, you need to calm down. Please, please. Calm down? He's

acting bonkers. She broke a glass picture frame over my head. It's like

completely different person.

Go away!

Sir, hands in the air.

Sir, hands in the air. What the hell are you doing?

Look, I didn't do anything, okay?

No, no, no, no, no, no. All right, we'll sort this out later. Okay.

Look. Here.

Take him out of here. There's something happening to my wife. All right, calm

down. It's all sorted out.

Miss?

LAPD here?

Are you all right? Everything's okay.

Your husband's out of the house. I'm not going to let him hurt you.

It's okay. Everything's fine.

I don't know what set him off.

He's acting absolutely bonkers.

I mean, we get into an archibaldi every fortnight or so. He'll go to bed.

to his nut, but he never goes mad like this.

Yep.

Wow.

This is a world -class hiccup.

I'm sorry. It's so embarrassing.

I woke up half -nine with a migraine, had a spot of tea, and they just

An hour later, and I can't get rid of them.

Okay, can you tell me what happened?

I missed a call. Guy got into it with his wife, claimed she threw a picture

frame at his head. Well, I'm not... claiming anything. That's what happened.

Look, forget about me. There's something going on with my wife. Sir, just relax.

We have to take a look at your head.

Doesn't look too bad, does it, Jim? A couple stitches, easy peasy. Let me

it up first.

David, the Bobbies are asking if I want to first charge him.

The Bobbies?

Maybe there's something wrong with you. Ma 'am, you don't have to decide right

now. We can take him. No, officer, you don't understand.

I understand just fine. No, you don't.

She's not British.

Yeah, that's not her voice. She was born in Brooklyn.

The Bobbies, the closest she's ever been to England is binge -watching episodes

of Downton Abbey. I don't know what he's talking about.

David, you're frightening me. Look, we woke up this morning, and she just

speaking like that. It's bloody this, bloody that, a spot of tea, all this

British slang that I've never heard before.

At first, I thought she was joking, but then it didn't stop, and I don't know

what the hell's going on. So I tried to take her to the hospital. She freaked

out, so I called 911.

Did she hit her head? Was she in an accident recently? No, not that I know

Hey, she told me she woke up this morning with a migraine. That and

hiccups? That coupled with obvious chest pains.

I think she's having a stroke.

A stroke?

Wouldn't she have slurred speech or paralysis or something? A man would, but

woman learns that symptoms can be different.

Big -ass hiccups is one of them.

She's right.

Stick your tongue out for me.

When's your birthday?

Hi, it's, um...

April. Okay, take my hand, come with me. Jim, get the TPA injection ready. Take

it easy, okay?

Just sit down right here.

There's a clot that's preventing oxygen to get to her brain, so her synapses are

misfiring.

That could cause her to speak with a British accent.

The brain is still the great unknown.

Some people wake up from a coma and can suddenly speak Mandarin.

Please put your arm right here.

All right, let's get her to the hospital. Come on. I'll be taking the

Hey, hey, hey, is she going to be all right?

The shot should keep her safe until we get her to the hospital.

Thank you.

Don't thank us.

Thank her.

Thank you.

Hey. Hey.

I found another Patricia box.

Well, she kept it all.

Looks like Abby doesn't want to keep any of it.

No way. Look at this. This is her, right?

That's Abby.

Abigail Clark. She never told me you made the Olympic team. What is this?

200 -meter butterfly.

She was a rock star.

That was a long time ago.

You gotta have this out. You should be proud. You're an Olympian. I'm gonna

a frame for you. You got some empty ones in the closet.

That's going up. That's for sure.

You didn't tell me he moved in.

He didn't move in.

Abby?

He knows what's in your bedroom closet.

And he's taken over the medicine cabinet.

Okay. Stay out of my medicine cabinet. He did not move in. He's just been here

lot because he's been helping me deal with everything.

It's one sec.

I'll be right out.

Why are you so milky?

Costa.

Nah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What was that all about?

What? You closed your laptop as soon as you walked in here like you were hiding

something. No, I didn't.

Yeah, you did. I just took a sip of tea.

Chip. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Romancingtheuniform .com? That's my dating site. That's where I met Tatiana.

Holy crap, are you putting yourself back out on the scene? My sponsor said maybe

it's time.

I spend too much time in my work, in my head, and dating, having a girlfriend,

it helped get me out of the world. I think it's great you take him away.

It's great.

Well, at the moment, I think that dating or sleeping with someone is not worth

the trouble, but I'm happy for you. Look, this just isn't me. I feel like a

would be stretching his first job. I'm not a rookie. It's just...

Last time I had a date, I was in my 20s. Yeah, this is terrible.

This picture looks like you're trying to sell real estate from a bus stop. You

know what? I will not be buying it, all right? You cannot describe yourself as I

am a lifesaver, not a heartbreaker. Why not? That's solid. It's sweet.

No, it is cheese. Sweet, sweet cheese.

You like flan? Good flan is the bomb.

You don't have an AOL email account still? It is literally like you were

in ember in...

It's Amber, not Ember, you idiot. Who cares?

You can never show this to a girl. Why not?

Okay, this profile is a joke profile for a guy no one ever wants to go out with.

You know what? Maybe you are not the right person. He should be taking dating

advice from Buckaroo.

And why is that? Because last time I checked, I'm in a stable, monogamous

relationship with an amazing woman.

I'm the healthiest dater at the whole table.

Oh, my God, he's right.

The world is turned upside down.

Oh, yeah, okay, laugh, huh? I am proof that real change is possible.

What the hell, Evan Buckley?

Can we help you?

You leave me on for six weeks?

The sexiest, deepest, most romantic, most intimate relationship I've ever had

with a man. I told you everything.

You told me everything, and I am not an easy nut to crack.

Is this your sick game?

Make a girl reveal every fear and secret and turn on and then you just

disappear. Is ghosting girls your thing? I'm sorry, are you sure you have the

right Evan Buckley?

You mean the Evan Buckley who's a firefighter?

Who worked here and was on the news and climbed a roller coaster and looks

exactly like you? Listen, yeah, sure, that is definitely me, but the me that I

am and the him that you're describing, that is not the same person.

Whoa.

Hey, whoa.

No, no, I swear I have never seen her before. You say so. No, I do say so,

I swear, I don't know who that was. I have found real intimacy, right? You

this. Come on. I haven't even flirted with anyone else. Yep, you're proof that

real change is possible.

Station 118 units, traffic accident. Guys.

Don't forget your bathing suit. Dad says there's a pool.

And your moisturizer and jail.

I'm too old to have my dad twist my hair. Oh, wait a minute.

That's my specialty.

Well, humor the old man.

I hope you don't mind I let myself in.

Well, as long as your children live here, those locks aren't going to

Hey, now you know I'm going to miss you.

Okay,

so. Do we all need to talk about all of this, you know, first weekend away with

Dad since he's let up?

I feel like this is one of those things where talking about it will only make it

harder. Yeah, it's not our first time going away with Dad alone.

Yeah, but this is different.

Do you guys need to talk about all this?

No, it's all right. We get it. You get it. All right, have fun.

Okay, bye. All right.

Alright, let's make it happen.

Are you okay?

If you're worried about Glenn, you have my word, he will not be around at all. I

trust you. It's just... It's gonna be weird sleeping here with my babies out

under some other roof.

Being without you is hard enough being without them.

It just makes me see why people stay together for the sake of the kids.

Yeah?

I just never pictured myself being a person who doesn't wake up every day in

same house with her children.

But this is us now.

We're on our way to being better people, more authentic people.

And that journey, well, it just isn't free.

And Karen will come around. I mean, she has to know that it wasn't you that

night. You were possessed. You were someone else. It was a full moon. It

I don't know, Jim.

We are what we do, right?

How can I claim to be a family woman, a faithful woman, when I did that?

What if I've just been pretending with Karen?

What, so you don't want to get back together with her?

Of course I do. I love her.

I'm just dealing with an existential crisis. Like, what if...

It's not who I am. Can we be together now that I've exposed this truth about

myself? What if I'm a completely different person?

You're still a lesbian, right?

Well, looks like we came to the right place to get you some answers.

Time of death, 3 .30 p .m.

Guess we're a little late. No, no, no, don't call it. Hey, hey, I'm not dead.

Come on, Lyle. Wake up. Yours isn't there.

This tip is ours. No, no, no, no, no. Don't leave.

No, please.

Help me!

I don't know what happened.

He just keeled over.

Fell like a stone.

I had just finished reading his poem.

This man's lifeline was really long.

Well, it's not an exact science now, is it? Left hand, please. Relax and

breathe. Deep breaths.

Look, Hen, I'm just saying, make him one crazy mistake.

You know, it doesn't make you a completely different human being. It

you human.

Except it wasn't a mistake. It was a choice, Jim. And I gotta ask myself,

Why would I make that choice?

Risk everything?

Would you like a quick reading from me?

I'd like for you to keep breathing into this bag of money on your own business.

I knew she was gonna say that.

You're welcome.

You going on a trip?

Uh, no.

Oh, no, that's my mom.

I have to send it back so that no one steals her identity.

She never traveled.

Well, not mom.

She got married so young.

She always talked about traveling. I'm going to go to Ireland.

I'm going to eat my way across Europe.

She didn't do it, though. I think she only went to, yeah.

Mexico. Cabo. It was for Matt and Beth's renewal of their vows.

You good?

I mean, you had me a little worried when you said you were going back to work.

But you seem good.

I do?

Yes. I guess I'm good.

really valuable or anything, but they meant a lot to her. And you meant a lot

her. You meant a lot to both of us.

I love them.

But I'm sure you want to give these to me. I have so many things to remind me

my mom.

And I want you to have something to remind you of her.

As if I could ever forget Patricia.

Or you.

The earrings and making me feel like part of the family.

Somebody,

anybody, for the love of God, I'm not dead.

Forensic pathologist, 2 -2 -4 -1.

Wake up, Lyle. Lose something.

Anything. Get him to notice. Come on.

But this isn't happening.

Damn it, Michael, wake up!

I don't wanna die!

Get out of here!

Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

You... At the psychic's house, you were... I was dead, right?

Oh, you might want to... I had to improvise.

Oh.

The wound's pretty deep, but no severed artery.

Also, it's good. I'm gonna hit it with some amyl nitrate. Okay.

Okay. Relax, relax, relax.

Just relax for me. We got you. We got you.

How about you? Are you okay? I'm just going to check your vitals. You seem

surprisingly calm for a dead guy. I have narcolepsy with cataplexy. No way. He

wasn't dead. He fell into a paralytic sleep.

And your vitals were imperceptible. No way. You must have, like, freaked out

when you woke up on this table.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I did the first time it happened. First time?

This has happened more than once.

Yeah, I've been pronounced dead by accident three times. What? That's

You think maybe you want to wear a bracelet so you can tell people you have

disorder? Yeah, maybe a tattoo across your chest that says, do not use bone

I am not dead, with like ten exclamation points.

No, I don't want people to know.

I'm sure he would have appreciated it. Damn straight!

No, I'm serious.

Each time that I die, I wake up a completely different person.

Each time I am reminded of just how precious life is.

It's a gift.

And, you know, I'm terrified of the day that I don't wake up in time and they

actually bury me alive.

But, uh, until then, death becomes me.

Hey.

God, Hen.

What are you doing here?

I know you go close to stuff, no pride.

I didn't want to make a scene at the senior's house in time of day.

So you thought confronting me in the Bristol Farms parking lot was better?

I would have preferred a phone call, but you haven't.

I'm not blowing you off. I'm just busy with

everything.

Can I please get five minutes?

Fine. I'm listening.

Karen, I love you.

I know, I know that doesn't mean a whole lot right now, but it's all I've got.

You, you and Danny, you're everything to me.

I can't, I can't. I messed up.

I'm a mess.

But you get me, Karen.

Not a lot of people do.

Please.

Please.

I have to make dinner and I have to get ready

for bed.

Karen, I love you.

I know you know that.

I do.

Did your brother like me?

I think he did. Although he was really funny when he thought you had moved in

with me.

I guess I kind of did, right?

Is that okay, my messed up being here place?

Yeah. I mean, I hadn't really thought about it like that, but you've been so

amazing through this.

I got your back, you know that.

Hello, Evan.

Um, hi.

You seriously don't recognize me. I look exactly like my profile pic.

Daphne B, the girl that you've been DMing for the past three months. Well,

you fell off the face of the earth.

You think it's cool to just blow people off?

No, no, no, hold on, hold on. This cannot be happening again.

What do you mean again?

You said that I had the prettiest eyes you'd ever seen.

They're real, unlike your profile status.

He said you're single. Did you say that recently?

No, no, Abby, Abby, this is just a big misunderstanding.

No, no, no, there's no misunderstanding.

I've been communicating with this jerkwad for three months, and now he

know who I am.

You're the second girl in two days to say that I've ghosted them.

Whoa! Oh, my God!

I just did you a huge favor, lady.

You're welcome.

No. I swear, I don't know who that was.

I thought you weren't doing that anymore.

Hey, I'm not. Hey, you know me, right? Come on. I don't know. I don't even know

who I am right now.

But I definitely don't feel like I know who you are right now.

Abby.

Abby, come on.

I learned that term from my boy.

I know that kid coined it only just to justify doing something irresponsible,

but you only have one 50th birthday.

No arguments here.

Half a century of living, most of it pushing insurance.

I know I deserve this.

My wife is completely against it.

They usually are.

Meg would lose her mind if she knew I was here even browsing. I'll sure forget

she ever felt that way after you take her for a spin on one of these bad boys.

She's usually right about stuff.

Knowing me, and I even told her this, I'd probably ride the thing a few times

and then just lose interest.

I don't know.

Told my boy I was doing this.

Promised him he'd see his old man come home looking like some kind of badass

easy rider.

These bikes, you got any of these in red?

9 -1 -1, what's your emergency?

You gotta send someone. There was a crash. It's really bad. A motorcycle was

hit. Oh, my God!

Where's Captain?

Not much we can do for him.

Speed of impact tore him clean in two. He's lost a lot of blood.

But I don't know how he's made it this long.

The helmet probably kept him from dying on impact.

The circulatory system is keeping his heart beating, killing him at the same

time. Pumping all his blood out into the street. He's got minutes.

What time is this? I have to get home.

I'm freaking losing it.

She's probably still outside.

Who's Ethan?

My son. Of course he's waiting for me.

outside waiting for me. I told him to so he could see me come home.

How long before you guys get me out of here?

I'm so freaking late.

Right now, your comfort is our priority, so I want you to take a deep breath.

Try to stay still and relax.

What's that? Is that your phone? You want your phone? Okay.

Hey.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, pal.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, buddy. I'm late. I know. I'm trying.

Yeah, I got it. I got it, like we said.

96 twin cam engine, yeah.

1560cc, cherry red. Oh, it's bad.

It's bad, just like the one we saw online.

Oh, gosh, buddy.

I was hauling up Alameda like a badass.

Yeah, like a real health angel.

Your old dad was like a new man, buddy, I'm telling you.

Hey, and don't tell Mom.

This thing's a chick magnet.

Top of the world, pal, but let me tell you something.

I would have felt just as good if I was on a 10 -speed bike.

Because I knew I was coming home to you.

I love you, son.

Ethan? Hi.

Is your mom home?

Why don't you put her on the phone?

Hey. I'm sorry, that's unprofessional.

No one bats a thousand.

Those are the things we got to see every day.

And I'm on duty. This is who I need.

But the second I walk through my door tonight, I turn into a completely

different person.

Everybody here today looks like they're holding it together.

No doubt they're going through a box of tissues tonight.

Anything I can do to help you with this one?

Yeah.

You can go somewhere with me.

Hey, yo, Rebar.

Come clean, this is you, right? Putting girls up to this? You think you're

funny? You know what, Buck? I really wish it was me. Okay, you wish, you

But it's not.

I bet if you updated your relationship status on your MySpace page, it might

clear up all of this confusion.

Who even uses MySpace?

Oh, evidently, you do.

Oh, that's my Facebook picture.

Yet another disappointed young lady came into the firehouse today. After I

convinced her to stop shouting and throwing rocks, she showed me this.

Don't you get it?

Some weirdo saw your B -movie star looks in the news and thought pretending to

be you would be a good lure to catfish the women of L .A. So I'm a Yankees fan

who loves Star Wars?

Star Wars prequels.

It's not funny.

This is really messed up. Yeah, it is, but come on. Some dude doing the boring

legwork, having hotties come to your door. I mean, what, is that really that

awful? Abby is freaking out. This cannot keep happening.

Who is he? Okay, your imposter's not that bright. He's already started

emails with Brandy.

Who's Brandy? The angry girl throwing the rocks who's actually very smart and

very cool and who may or may not come to my place next week to watch the game

with us, so please don't come. The point is, if you know what you're looking

for... You can find the IP address in the header of the messages.

Looks like a bunch of random numbers.

Yeah, fuck random numbers that we can trade to his actual address.

Thanks for coming here with me.

You ever go to church?

Every Sunday.

But I'm Baptist, so we don't go to church. We do church.

I'm here three or four times a week.

Keeps me out of trouble.

And when I'm here alone, I can confess, pray, find the quiet to forgive and

forget. You think coming here and praying in a way can work?

Works for me most of the time.

Some things are tough to shake.

I would have liked weed chokes, huh? No one on the outside can understand it.

Whenever I walk into a new place, the first thing I do is look for something I

can use as a splint.

I check to see if anyone's carrying a gun.

It's exhausting.

Yeah.

But it can be so damn fun.

Can I ask you to pray with me?

The jig is up. Easy, guy.

Keep a cool head. This guy's a criminal.

My freak, you got your number. Open up.

Maybe he's not home.

LAFD, come through the door.

Must be a recluse or a meth addict who blacked out all the windows.

No,

this is not going to be pretty.

How does this happen?

I guess heart attack.

It's kind of sad, you know.

I wonder if that he's probably been lying there ten days, but no one

That guy was a shut -in. The park manager says no one's seen him in, like,

years.

Well, it's tragic.

Let's not forget this was an online predator.

Was he, though?

It's not like he was tricking women into hooking up. He never went out.

If he could even get out, why are you defending him?

Just saying.

It's kind of a bummer, you know?

He hated himself so much he had to pretend to be someone else.

Don't get a lot of cases of the bloat this much.

Body's probably double the size it was at the time of death. Bloat set in after

rigor mortis, filled in with methane and CO2, along with decomposition fluids,

probably because it's so hot in here and expired with a full stomach.

I just don't know how to get him out of here.

Either got to knock down this wall or roll this whole thing down on the wall.

No.

No, okay? Look.

This guy may not have lived with much dignity, but maybe he can still die with

some. And these people are already treating him like he's a circus

Now, let's not make it any more of a spectacle.

I know a way we can get him out of here in a body bag.

That's a great speech, but that would take hours.

Why? You'd just drain all the gas and gunk and stuff. We would have to use

bore needles and start the embalming process here. Okay, so let's do that.

He's dead.

He doesn't care if people are gawking at him, all right? He doesn't have any

feelings to hurt anymore.

You are not about to beat up a coroner, now are you, Buck?

Nice work.

Yeah, I thought he was going to pop. I told you, draining him is going to take

time. What do you got, dinner reservations?

Let's get to work, okay?

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

Is that it?

Is it done?

I think so.

Oh, God. Oh, my God. Oh, God.

Oh, no.

No, no, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no.

All right, guys. Clear a path. Come on. Move back, please. Have a little

respect. Out of the way. Thank you.

Hey.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Nice job, Buck.

You did good.

He was a 350 -pound messman, dead for a whole week. These girls are getting

blown off because the dude died.

That is all there is to it, okay?

I need you to know that. I need you... Abby,

do you believe me? Yeah, I believe you. I believe you.

Okay. I'm kind of relieved because I was feeling a little crazy there for a

minute. No, no, Henry.

You're so not crazy.

You're so not crazy. It's a crazy story. No, yeah.

We got there and it was just... Are

you going somewhere?

I bought a plane ticket to go to Dublin.

Dublin as in Dublin, Ireland? Yes, Dublin, Ireland.

I'm going to go for a while, probably.

I don't know.

I don't know how long. A few months, maybe.

Why?

For Mom.

She always wanted to go to Ireland. She never went.

So I need to go.

Also because...

And I just lost my mom, but I realized I also kind of lost myself a long

time ago. And I don't know, I think somewhere along the way, I just started

caring so much for everybody else that I stopped caring for myself.

I mean, I used to be a person who would travel the world swimming in

competitions, and I demanded so much from myself.

Because I feel like I need to have something to give to my job and to the

people who are counting on me and to the people that I care about.

I care about you so much. You're amazing.

And these last few months, I think you've gotten me at least halfway to the

person I want to be.

But I've got to do this so that I know I have something to give.

I am excited for you.

Almost as much as I am now.

Hey, boss, I put you down for tacos.

Oh, not exactly game night attire. I can't make it tonight.

I have a date.

No way.

You actually found a match for that time capsule post?

So, what's the plan? A little ER marathon followed by a little Montel

you move into the bedroom?

All right.

How do I look?

I lose a tie. You look like a lawyer.

All right.

How's that?

Uh, wait.

What?

That's better.

Not too much?

Not too much.

Perfect.

I don't think I've ever seen you this nervous.

Well, it's kind of weird. Once you get out of your own way, you start to see

everything and everyone in a whole new light.

Have fun tonight, Cap.

Thanks, Jim.

I read about a woman in Detroit who owns over a thousand wigs. Can you imagine?

A thousand different possibilities.

It's actually impossible, though, I think, to become a different person.

You can only be better or worse or some variation of the person you already are.

Don't make me regret this.

Constantly adjusting to our circumstances.

Hey. Hey.

Throwing caution to the wind.

Becoming who we need to be in the moment.

You're not going to come in with me?

I learned a while ago.

You never go beyond the glass door.

Are you ready to be leaving me behind?

You're not leaving anything behind.

You're moving towards something.

I'm gonna be right here when you come back, okay?

Go on.

You got this, okay?

Take care of yourself, okay?

Yeah, you too, Abby.

Thank you.

You'd clean up nice, too.

The only reward you get at the end of trying not to be who you were or

witnessing someone else change into a person you barely recognize is being

to finally sit in front of another human being wearing every one of those

thousand wigs and try again.
