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

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

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

Weapon, and The X -Files.

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

We've been here before.

What?

Before you joined us, kid.

Why would you do something like this?

Whatever it was, we could have talked about it. I could have helped her.

I loved her.

I imagine she wasn't eager to run into your loving arms.

We had our differences.

Clearly.

My wife liked to use this tree for target practice.

I'm not going to have to look at him. Where were you last night? Do not walk

away from me.

You do this to yourself.

You realize that?

What do you want to hear, honey, huh?

That I found some guy?

That I screwed his brains out in the car?

Would that make you feel better for hitting me?

How did you get a gun? Don't take another step, dear. I will shoot you.

I swear I will.

Well, look at you.

All brave.

I'm not brave.

So pissed at myself for letting you rip me away from my life and control me.

Pull the trigger.

Go ahead, pull the trigger.

Shoot.

Shoot, shoot, shoot!

You

want

out so bad, you're going to have to shoot yourself, not me.

Still standing.

She's not.

I really can't explain it. A fungus took hold, spread like cancer.

Was she exposed to any foreign objects?

She got sick after being struck by a bullet.

That's weird.

A tree this size.

Come on, there's nothing you can do.

Truth be told, she should have been leveled months ago.

It's a damn shame.

A lot of good memories with this tree.

Well, I'll get you an estimate by the end of the day.

Don't bother.

The bullet she fired on him.

Did it fly out of the tree when he blew it up?

Karma's a bitch.

So I want to thank everybody for donating today.

I don't know if you know this or not, but 90 % of all the blood given to

patients in the Los Angeles area comes from volunteers.

I know that we all put our asses on the line in the field every day to save

people. But today, you're saving people, and all it's taking is a tiny prick of

a needle. So simple, even Mr. Buckley can't mess that up.

You're still at it, huh? How'd you do?

Incredible. Everyone donated. Some people even came in on the day off.

great. All right, let's wrap it up. We've got to start our shift.

Uh, hold up.

Looks here like I am two pints shy of my goal for the day.

Well, that'll give me something to work towards next time.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're the captain of this house, and you're the only one who can participate.

I don't like needles. End of story.

Oh, come on, Captain.

Come on.

You got a duty.

I don't give blood.

All right? I never give blood.

When I was a kid, they tried to take my blood, and I bit the doctor.

It's not funny.

And the one time someone tried to take my blood as an adult, it

didn't go well.

Hold on, hold on. All right, listen.

I get it. I really do, okay?

But I really need you to do this for me, all right?

Look, I'm alive.

Because that rebar hit my head at just the right angle. And because I had the

best damn fire and rescue team to get me to the hospital and the best surgeons

in the world once I got there.

But I got 10 pints of blood, donated blood, given by the very generous people

this city. And I told you, I just, I wanted to do this blood drive because I

wanted to give a little something back of what I was given. And expressing my

gratitude like this, it balances me out with the universe.

Now you and everybody else here.

Ask me how they could help with my recovery. Well, this is how.

I hate all of you.

Thank you. Thank you. You love us. You're going to need this.

Just squeeze it. All right, let's stick them.

All right, let's get it.

Hey, I am proud of us.

What we're trying to do here, I tell you.

What is it exactly we're trying to do? Because I keep forgetting.

Be a family, for better or worse.

Adapt to our circumstance.

Everyone says that they put their kids first, but we are actually doing it.

I want to take the kids out this weekend. Out? Yeah.

Please, we've already taken them to their mothers.

Athena, I've been seeing Glenn now for some time, and I want the kids to meet

him. I want you to meet him.

Absolutely not.

They say you should wait a year before you introduce your kids to someone, and

that's under the best of circumstances.

What, you think they're ready to see you sitting at dinner holding hands with

another man?

They need to see me for who I am. Says who?

Look, I know you're ready to come out and change your whole world, but the

of us aren't.

It's not like he's moving in. You know, I just thought that if we could all go

out for ice cream and maybe have a conversation. And then what?

Is he coming over for Sunday dinner?

Opening presents under the Christmas tree? He's a stranger to us.

So I guess you want to have a background check before he's around the kids.

Couldn't hurt.

I met him on the Wilshire Project.

He's a contractor.

Went to USC.

He's decent.

Barely drinks.

Doesn't smoke.

No drugs.

And I am hoping that he's not a stranger for long.

We agreed that this family would change shape and that we would work together to

mold it into something that works for all of us.

I'm trying to move forward, Athena.

Move with me.

Let's stop moving so fast.

911, what's your emergency?

I'm at Metro Fitness on Hollywood. My boss is burning up. You mean he's

feverish? No, that is not what I mean.

Okay, so I came in early to turn in my keys and pick up my paycheck.

He actually fired me yesterday. It's a whole...

Sorry. Anyway, I smelled something burning.

We all kept trying to tell him to get it fixed.

Oh, my God. I didn't think to do that. How long has he been in there?

I don't know. He's the owner, so sometimes he comes in before we even

two hours, maybe three.

Who do you think, Jim? Is he dead?

Or else I think he's alive.

Why the hell did he need you to get out? He might have had a stroke.

He's 32.

What was he on? We need to know.

I don't know.

32, may have had a stroke. Drugs can be an underlying cause. What was he on?

Everything, okay?

He was stacking.

Steroids.

He's in VTEC.

Starting compressions.

Nope, he's gone.

It's just too freaky. I mean, after what happened with Mindy, I told him, I

said, Barry, what goes around comes around.

Who's Mindy?

Barry,

hey. You can't leave Mindy in there. No, I won't be long. I'm just doing chess.

She's fine. I cracked the window. Barry.

Why didn't you just leave her home?

You know how hyper she gets? She barks all day. The neighbors will complain.

not supposed to have a dog. Barry, she is going to bake.

It's 70 degrees out. PETA says on a 70 -degree day, temperatures inside a

car can reach 100.

Barry, she's fine. She's got water, and she's not your dog.

You're supposed to be behind the desk.

fritzing again.

The timer's stuck.

Oh, I told you there's nothing wrong with it. You just gotta jiggle it.

What the

hell did you do?

I saved your dog.

Here. You're welcome.

You know what?

You come pick up your final paycheck tomorrow morning, you're fired.

Please don't.

This is Bobby.

I don't understand why you can't just tell... Okay, thanks.

What's up, Cap?

Oh, it's Cedars.

Someone's dick?

The blood I donated, they sent it to a lab and had it tested, so... What's the

first time you donated? They have to do that before they release it into the

bloodstream. They found something else.

What do you mean, found something?

They would tell me over the phone that they'd rather do it first.

I gotta show you something, Father.

I haven't shared this with anyone else.

Your prayer book?

I guess it is my prayer book, in a way.

The list of names.

62 so far.

62 of 148.

148? The number of people who died because of me.

These 62 names, these are people whose lives you've saved.

Yeah.

This job, it's the only way I know how to balance the ledger.

Not that I can ever really do that.

But 148 lives, I owe at least that much.

And then I can go.

Bobby, you're aware of the church's position on suicide.

You're against it. It would cost you your eternal soul.

Do you believe in karma?

I believe in God's justice.

How about a sense of humor?

There's something in my blood.

Something unusual the doctor wouldn't tell me over the phone.

He wants to break it to me in person.

I'm sorry.

So I guess the irony is I may not live long enough to make it to 148, and that

scares the hell out of me.

Because that is your penitence.

I don't know if my soul will ever be able to rest in peace if it goes unpaid.

I'm gonna get you.

Gonna knock you right in the head.

You better get yourself together.

Not that you couldn't return, but the hassle, you know. Just get me to the

hospital. Why aren't we leaving? I'm just not sure if you have a spinal cord

injury, and so we're trying to stabilize you. I told you I can feel my legs. I

can feel them too much. It hurts!

You called the cops?

The cops don't need to be here.

I'm fine. I don't want to go to the hospital. You got a fine ID on her.

This must have fallen out of her pocket. Who called you? One of the neighbors.

You're the porch pirate.

Suggest that I... There are days when I actually enjoy whatever tall tale you on

the cusp of spitting my way. Where I be entertained letting you think that

you're smarter than me, even if only for a minute. But today is nowhere close to

being one of them. I'm the victim here.

I have to get to the hospital.

Well, you'll get there.

They'll fix your busted hip.

Femur, actually.

And then you'll be charged with grand theft.

What? Trespassing, too.

Your car's still running.

Your driver's license says you live in Van Nuys.

Now, I know you in agony.

You want them to fix that female in a timely fashion?

You cut the crap and confirm what I already know.

I don't keep anything.

I just like taking them.

I'm supposed to go to a rehab in Arizona, but they won't take my

Let me guess, and that being Yvonne that had a name, it's going to be Michael?

The guy he's seeing, he wants to start bringing him around to get to know the

kids. And I guess me.

Well, maybe that might be worth giving him a chance.

Hell no.

It might take away a little of the pressure.

Lena, look, I'm just saying that maybe this guy is not all bad.

Michael has an okay track record picking.

I wouldn't care if he's dating a Dalai Lama.

I know.

Michael being with somebody else is hard, Lena. What's hard?

Is that somehow we done decided that what's best for the kids is that we stay

together and try to play happy, modern family.

All that means to me is that Michael gets to keep having a cake of living in

house and eating it, too. Coming and going if he pleases.

As far as I can see, the only one doing any heavy emotional lifting is me.

I'm the one who has to keep pushing my feelings to the side every day.

They got bigger problems than Glenn.

Kids love their daddies, but they follow their mother's lead.

No matter how good Michael is with those kids, if you hate him, they're going to

hate their daddy.

I know.

Relationship problems is going around. Trust me.

You don't even want to know.

Guys, you think we can hit the road, please?

Second guessing everything I'm doing in here. It's kind of hurting my feelings.

I'll call you later.

You don't have to be here with me, you know.

Yeah, well, this is all only happening because I'm the one who made you get

blood drawn.

I feel obligated.

Listen, I'm here for you no matter what that doctor has to say, right?

Mr. Nash. Yeah. Thank you for coming in so quickly. There are some findings in

your blood work that are time sensitive.

He's good.

He can speak freely and directly.

No need to sugarcoat.

Please.

Have you ever heard of rhesus disease?

No. How bad is it?

It's terrible.

Fatal in most cases.

But you don't have it.

It only affects pregnant women and their fetuses.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

There are some 4 ,000 cases of Reese's in newborns each year.

You were almost an identical match to a man in Australia named James Harrison.

For decades, his donated blood saved the lives of more than 2 million children.

They call him the man with the golden arm.

Well, it seems you have one too.

If you would fill this out, we would love to get you into our rare donors

program as soon as possible.

We could set up regular donations.

There are babies at this very moment who need you.

Thank you.

Congratulations. Yeah.

Well, dude, I guess you're going to have to get over your fear of needles, huh?

We can't see the tigers, Uncle Sean.

They're hiding behind the tree.

All right, all right, all right. Hang on.

Okay.

There we go. Direct hit.

throw something you're not supposed to taunt the animals we're not my nephew's

just trying to get a picture that's all right did you get it uh yeah yeah that's

the one i want uh come on i gotta take a leak let's go go

He won't take his eyes off me. It's like he's studying me. This isn't good.

As soon as security's been alerted, they're on their way to you now.

Now's not going to be soon enough, okay?

I've been on safari. I know how fast these things can move.

Sean, I'm being told your best course is to remain very still.

We're at the tiger now. East side of the park. Nowhere near where we're going.

He's got a visitor tent.

Shoot team's en route now.

You're going to shoot him?

That's not right.

Protocol is to tranquilize first, if at all possible.

How did the tiger escape in the first place?

Apparently he was able to jump to the top of the wall and gain enough leverage

to pull himself out.

Tiger's trainer tried to wrangle him after he got loose.

This ain't pretty.

It's called degloving.

The cat actually peeled the skin back with his claws.

Hand saline. Sir, we have to disinfect this wound.

It didn't just kill you.

I've known Kobe since he was a cub.

He didn't want to hurt me. He was just... He was just confused.

Okay, if we're real careful, we can preserve the skin.

A little plastic surgery and you're going to be good as new.

Yeah. All units responding to Barnesdale 2, I have an adult male in distress

east side of the park. He identified himself as Sean Cupertino, 47.

Show 727 L30 responding.

Can't be the same guy, can it? That'll just be too weird. Same guy as what?

Sean Cupertino, the dentist from Riverside.

Dr.

Cupertino, how much did you pay the illegal poachers? You knew the area was

protected reserve. Were you aware that Ellie was being tracked and studied by

the University of Oxford? I had no idea it was a protected reserve. It was a

legal hunting trip. Now leave me alone.

Can't fill out my appointment.

Can't get my lawyer on the phone.

I don't see it anymore.

I think I outsmarted it.

I'm not so sure he's hiding.

Is he down?

Yeah, he's down.

Beautiful animal.

Chances are he's going to have to be put down after this. Maybe not.

Guess who we have for lunch?

That's that idiot that killed Ellie Lyon.

Dennis from Riverside? Mm -hmm.

I think public sentiment is going to be with the kitty.

You know what karma is?

A bitch.

Nope. She's a wild animal, and she won't be caged.

Too quiet up in here. What are you two up to?

Your dad's waiting on you downstairs with the Pictionary.

Are you on your way out to work?

Yeah, in a little while.

Are you guys having a hard time being with your dad?

No.

That's your problem.

You know, what's going on with your dad and me is complicated.

What he's doing is... is brave.

And all of us need to support him.

Your dad and I are trying to keep this family together.

Why?

How's all of us being here, living with you and Dad, mad at each other, helping

our family?

Dad being gay was hard at first, but we love Dad.

That's not the problem.

So what is?

Making us fake it every day.

And for what?

So you two can pretend that you didn't mess up by marrying each other?

We prefer honesty.

Isn't that what you always taught us?

Hey, Bobby.

So that guy in Australia, you know, the one with the same blood makeup as you?

It says here in 1999 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for

saving those kids.

And what would be our equivalent?

It's got to be the Presidential Medal of Freedom, right? We should, like,

totally put you up for one of those, you know? I mean, like, at some point.

I gave you some blood, Jim. It doesn't merit a medal.

All right, let's just drop it.

Drop it?

It's the Presidential Medal of...

You want to tell me what's chafing you?

Look, I get it. You don't like needles.

But you're a lifesaver. That's what you do. You're a hero, man.

And somebody just told you you have the opportunity to save thousands, maybe

millions of kids. There's a wrong kid.

I want my kids.

Yeah, I'm some lifesaver, aren't I?

That's what I was put on this earth to do, but I couldn't save my family.

Couldn't protect them from me.

148.

That's the number of lives that I owe for the mistakes that I made.

And once I paid that debt, I get to be with them again.

And I was halfway there, Chim. I was halfway there. I get to see my kids

That was the deal.

Deal with who, Bobby?

The deal I made with God.

I don't think it's God you made a deal with, Cap. Then I got that phone call

about my blood test. And I thought, here we go. Here it is. Here's my

punishment. Cancer.

After all the prayers I sent up there so I could live long enough.

You're not talking about killing yourself, right?

Yeah.

I want out.

I want to see my kids again.

And I want this pain to end, but it's not going to end.

It's never going to end.

Because God's not punishing me by killing me.

He's punishing me by forcing me to stay alive.

No, wait, wait, Bobby. Bobby!

All right, my man.

Something wrong with that coma?

Hey, no.

I keep a cooler in the truck for washing blood away from the thieves once we're

done with them.

Cola is the only thing that really works.

Not in the job description, but I feel like it's the right thing to do.

Victim with DOA, by the way.

Victim and suspect.

Guy robs the joint and then gets hit by a dump truck a few feet from the store.

Hey, what was that thing you want to talk to me about?

Dana.

Work? Personal.

Personal.

Money or sex?

I slept with Eva.

The hell?

I thought your ex was still in prison.

Paroled a few weeks ago.

I don't know what came over me. It was the night of that... Full moon.

I haven't been able to look Karen in the eyes since then.

Well, you got to tell her. Why? I'm never going to do it again. It was a

mistake. If anything, it just reminded me that I want to be with my wife.

I told you, I don't want to screw this relationship up. Your relationship is

screwed up already.

You don't cheat on a healthy relationship.

What you did is just evidence of how bad it is.

Now you're telling Karen is your chance at fixing it.

It's only when secrets are revealed that we know how good or bad a marriage is.

Trust me.

I know.

Sometimes you got to wreck it in order to save it.

There's a lot of love between the two of you.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the cola.

Michael.

Oh, hey, baby. What time is it?

Half past eleven.

You need to talk.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I need to do it now

while I still love you.

And what is this? The name and number of my divorce attorney.

No, Athena, no. Whatever you get, you should call them.

Athena. I love you.

You're my man.

The father of my children. My best friend.

This family is changing. It is what it is.

But us staying together like this, living in this house, holding on to some

picture of what was... It's making me hate you. If

we don't really move on, that hate is going to be the only thing I feel when I

think about you.

What about the kids?

I spoke to them. This is what they want and need.

I will never regret marrying you.

I will do it all over again, everything.

And to have those children, and you as a friend.

Thank you.

You're late.

I'm sorry. I was just driving around.

I needed to get my mind right.

About Eva.

She's suing for custody.

That's impossible.

Our lawyer said that... According to her...

We have an unstable home that's unsuitable to raise a child.

And she's saying the proof of this unstable home is that you slept with

I'm sorry.

Let me just, let me, let me, just let me, let me, please.

I'm taking daddy to my parents. If you put our family at risk, I don't

know what it is that you went there looking for, but I hope you got it.

And I hope it was worth it.

Oh, no, I didn't order this, gentlemen.

Athena. I hope you don't mind me sending that over.

Oh, no.

I just didn't realize that people still did this.

Send a drink over to break the ice? I'm pretty sure they haven't stopped doing

that.

So how long have you been out of all of this?

Um, it's been a while.

Recently separated.

How recent?

Two days.

We've been working our way towards it for a while now.

I mean, no hard feelings.

He's at home with our kids.

So I decided to, you know, just get out of the house.

Went to a movie.

And then I got thirsty.

I just didn't feel like drinking at all.

I highly doubt that you being alone is anything you ever have a problem with.

Who are you, Mr. Smooth? How do you know my last name?

I would have guessed that was your middle name. No, no, it's Chester.

For real?

Oh, your parents hated you right away.

What's your full name?

Aaron Chester Brooks.

Date of birth?

April 18th, 1980.

What are you typing?

Well, I'm a cop.

Sent it to one of my friends at the station. Run a check on you.

Are you serious?

Mm -hmm.

If we're going to spend the night talking and drinking, I want to know I'm

wasting my time with a bad egg.

What are you talking about?

Hey,

Jiminy. What's going on? You all right?

Come on. I want to show you something.

Her name's Asha.

She's our first.

This is Steven. I told him I was bringing you by, and he begged me to let

talk to you. This is Bobby.

We never thought we would get to meet her.

Instead, she's starting out life -healthy and disease -free.

That's because of you.

That's your blood they rushed over here.

Thank you.

Now you tell me that's the wrong kid.

Look, you're going to see your own kids again.

I do believe that.

But right now, Asha and a thousand others just like her, they're your kids

That's your blood in their veins.

So you look at her. You look at her and those young parents and you tell me if

that feels like a punishment.

No, Jim, it's a blessing.

Exactly. I think you better either throw that book of yours away or get yourself

a bigger one, because it seems to me like you're here to stay.

Looks that way.

Just think, you only have to give blood once every eight weeks for the rest

of your life.

Could you explain to me again how God's not punishing me?

No, he's just teasing you.

Yeah.

Considering who I work with, you must figure I can take a joke.

You've answered the call on 911.

Now here are a few more shows to check out from Fox.
