All language subtitles for 9-1-1.S09E11

Ow.

-Your back still bothering you?
-I'm fine.

I just tweaked it a little.

Oh, my grandpa throws
his back out

every time
he prunes his gardenias.

And he swears by ice and arnica.

My grandpa has sciatica.

He uses this, uh,
this magnesium cream.

Or is that for his gout?

You don't have gout, do you?

No, I do not have gout.

And before you ask,

I also do not have osteoporosis,

urinary incontinence or ED.

Why would we think
you had an eating disorder?

-A different ED.
-Different how?

Okay, that's my cue
to go pick up my kid.

Hey, guys.

Hey, before you leave,

I need to talk to you guys
about something.

Sizzle and Spark.

I'm gonna need more words.

It's the theme for this year's
LAFD bachelor auction.

Okay. Less words.

Yeah, go ahead and leave.

I'll just forge your names
for the sign-up sheet.

That's the spirit.

A bachelor auction?

Isn't that a little outdated?

It's 2026.

Outdated is making a comeback.

So, this is for charity?

Yeah. Every house is doing it.

It's gonna be fun.

Who has fun being auctioned off
like a slab of beef?

So, someone spent $8,000

to go on a date with you?

$8,001.

Adjusted for inflation, it's
really not that big of a deal.

Why $8,001?

Extra dollar is a strategy
that people use in a...

a bidding war.

There was a bidding war?

$8,000?

Okay, didn't you say you needed
to go pick up Christopher?

Yeah, and trust me,

he's gonna have a lot of
questions about this story, too.

All right.

Everybody sign up.

What...

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hal!

Hal!

Eddie, what's up?

Where's Chris?
He didn't get out of the bus.

No, he never got on.

You didn't see him at school?

Sorry.
Figured you picked him up.

Did you
call the school? - Yeah.

I talked to one of the teachers,

and she says
he got into another car.

Did you try Find My Friend
on his phone?

Yeah, it says he's at the house,
but he sometimes

leaves it there and he's not
answering the calls.

-Okay, w-what kind of car?
-A light-colored sedan.

Older. Which describes
half the damn cars in the city.

-I called the police.
-W-What did they say?

They told me to go home.

In case he's there. I-I...

I'm headed there right now.

Uh, okay, just-just stay there.

I'm gonna come over.

Wait. The car,
it's in my driveway.

-I'll call you back.
-What, uh...

-Hi.
-Abigail?

Chris, what's going on?

I'm kicking Abigail's butt.

Not for long.

-I just got a booster.
-Turn it off.

You didn't want to answer
your phone?

I-I guess it was on silent.

It's not his fault.
We got distracted.

What are you doing here,
Abigail?

She picked me up from school.

-Chris, you got homework?
-Yeah.

Do it.

I need to talk to you,
right now.

I'm sorry,
I just wanted to help.

You're a busy man
and you've been so nice to me,

and you mentioned you were sad

you didn't have time
to pick Chris up from school,

so I just wanted to help.

That is not help.

Okay? Not knowing where
my son is, that is terrifying.

I didn't mean to scare you.
We were just having so much fun.

We'll call next time.

There is no next time.

What do you mean?

I mean what you're doing
is not okay.

Showing up here?

All right,
going to Chris's school?

It has to stop.

I thought you liked me.

You guys are like family.

Family? No.

Chris and I are family.
You are not family.

Okay? I-I just helped you
because you're my job.

And that's all
you'll ever be: my job.

Do you get that?

I ju...

-I'm gonna go.
-No, wait. Come on.

Abigail, I-I didn't mean that.

Yeah, you did.

Give it to us, Doc.

Which would you like?

The good news or...

the great news?

-What is it?
-My CK levels are down to 350.

It's still slightly above range,

but it's stable.

That's great, right?

Oh, it's very good.

It means that
whatever she's doing,

it's working.

Well, it's nothing fancy.

It's just a high-protein diet,
UV protection...

A lot of stress management.

Well, you just keep being you.

I plan to.

You know...

who's gonna be excited
about this, baby?

My mother?

Your captain.

Hey, I would be mad, too.

I am mad. She took Chris.

I'm more mad at myself.

The kid had nobody else,
and I made her feel worthless.

Oh, easy.

Don't break the probie.

-Sorry.
-And here we are.

Our Bachelors of the 118,
ready to Sizzle and Spark.

What is she doing here?

May's gonna be
our civilian liaison

for the auction.

She has volunteered
to whip you all

into lean, mean...

cat walking machines.

No.

Yeah, apparently, your sister
here is an expert at this stuff.

She handled
her sorority's frat auctions

all four years
and we're lucky to have her.

No offense,

I think this is

a little different

from hawking date nights
with drunk frat bros.

I definitely have
my work cut out for me here.

Hey, uh, please, can I just

write a check
to the widows and orphans?

Not unless that check
has a comma in it.

Okay, let's go! Line up.

Let's get to work, line up.

Let's start
with some power poses.

Right here facing the mirror.
Thank you.

Hey, Buck. A word?

I noticed that your name
is missing

from the, uh, sign-in form.

Yeah, I-I didn't sign up.

Well, why not?
You love being objectified.

I'm-I'm injured.

Yeah, right, like when
your shoulder was dislocated

but you sledgehammered
through a wall.

That's not the same thing.
Lives were at stake.

You went bowling after.

Why do you care so much?

I just don't understand
why you don't care.

I mean, this whole auction
is not just your lane,

this is your whole road.

Maybe I'm just
not that guy anymore.

Cheers.

To another "Stitch and Bitch."

And thanks to Carol

for hosting again.

Oh, I look forward
to this all week.

Okay, so,

who are we waiting on now?

Blanche.

Would it kill her to be on time?

Should someone give her a call?

I mean, Lord knows,
she could have taken a fall.

Bless your heart, Faye.

You're still new.

Blanche is healthy as a horse.

I just saw her last night,
cheating at canasta.

I saw her
at pickleball this morning.

In that short skirt of hers.

Now I know this is
called "Stitch and Bitch,"

but maybe we should
go easy on Blanche.

Didn't she lose her husband?

Marty died five years ago.

Oh.

I lost my Tim last winter

and you don't see me
acting like that.

-That's right.
-We're all widows, who cares?

Yes.

Speak of the devil.

Blanche?

"I'm pulling up right now."

Someone's losing

-their license.
-Grab a backboard.

All right, Ravi, jaws.
Harry, the K-12.

-Hey, cap, what should I grab?
-Aren't you hurt?

-Well, yeah, but I can...
-You know what? I can't risk it.

In fact, let the probie
carry your Halligan.

Get me out of here!

Can someone
tell me what happened here?

Yeah. Blanche happened.

She came barreling in here,

smashed Carol's settee.

Now she claims
that she's gone blind.

I'm trying to tell you,
I can't see!

It's my left eye.

Got you, ma'am.

Blanche,

hi, I'm Eddie. This is Ravi.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Have you had anything to drink?

No.

But I could use

a glass of red

if anyone would like
to give a gal a hand.

Oh, go to hell.

Blanche, do you wear
contacts, by any chance?

Yes.

Well, I see what's wrong.

Your left lens is out of place.

Oh. Oh.

Well, look at the two of you.

Hold still, ma'am.

All right, we're gonna get you out here,

Blanche. On three. Harry.

Uh-uh, not you, Buck.

One, two...

three.

-Ah.
-There we go.

Okay. Call me Blanche.

Car's all set.

All right, let's
get this car out of here.

Oh, no.

Ow.

-Ow! Ow!
-Ma'am. Ma'am, are you okay?

I'm... I'm having palpitations.

Okay, Buck.

Your time to shine.

Yeah, sure.

Just check right here.

Yep.

Uh, pulse is normal.

You might want
to check at the neck.

Check the neck.

Heh. Checking the neck.

Yep, still feels normal.

You know, why don't you ride
with us to the hospital?

Just to be safe.

-You cannot be too safe.
-Okay.

Ha-ha.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Bye, now.
-Goodbye, now.

-Yeah.
-Okay?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Does anyone else need me?

Chest pains.

Short of breath.

Ooh, ooh.

I think I bruised a rib.

Pretty sure
you're still that guy.

Okay.

You got this. On three.

One...

two...

three.

Nope.

Not happening.

Thank you.

All right, so what's my move?
I wanted to help her,

not retraumatize her.

You didn't do anything wrong.

She picked up your son
without your permission.

To be nice.

And then I tore her to shreds.

Can you give me

the address to the group home?

She's not there anymore.

The staff said she

tore apart her room

and ran off.

I sent her back
to the streets. Perfect.

Any idea where
I can start looking?

You have a good heart, Diaz.

It's not your fault.

Abigail was troubled
before you met her.

Because her parents
were monsters

who should be
in prison right now.

They tortured her.

If I'd just done
a better job testifying...

You did more than your job.

And sometimes,
when people aren't used to it,

kindness can feel like...

interest.

Oh, come on. She's just a kid.

I saw how she looked
at you at the firehouse.

And how she looked at me.

You?

Yeah, the other female
in the room.

The one who was taking her
away from you.

You think Abigail's jealous?

I think she's a mixed-up kid
with some boundary issues.

Eddie?

How did she know
where you lived?

Chris must've told her
when she picked him up.

Before that.

The-the first time she
showed up on your doorstep.

You think
she's been following me?

It's possible.

But I... I think if you
go looking for her now, it...

it'll only encourage her.

So, what, I, uh...

I just give up on her?

The hardest part of my job?

You can't save
everyone in crisis.

Our next bachelor
is Ravi Panikkar.

Ravi bench presses 250,
he squats 330

and he runs a five-minute mile.

-Don't lie.
-Ravi.

Is any of that true?

Two truths and a lie.

They can smell a fake.

Well, maybe the spectator
should stay out of it.

No, the peanut gallery's right.
You gotta be real, Ravi.

What if they don't
want the real me?

Look, you just have
to get the first bid.

And then they catch
auction fever and

they'll max out
their credit cards.

Hey, Buck, why don't you
get over here

and show 'em how it's done?

Yeah, what were your moves,

Buck?

Well, I-I did a back flip.

Everyone called it a...
a "Buckflip."

He called it that.
Many times. For weeks.

-I can't do a back flip.
-Uh...

You don't need to do a back flip.

If you get in trouble,
just take off your shirt.

It's funny how generous you are
with your advice,

yet you won't contribute
to our charity drive.

Yeah, I-I can't.

Right, because of your back.

-Y-You don't believe me?
-No, I believe you,

I just think it's an excuse.

And the only thing
I want to know is...

why?

Why what?

-Hen! Look at you.
-Oh, my gosh.

Hey. Walking on your own.

I drove here by myself, too.

You look amazing.

Thanks.

You here checking up
on your baby brother?

I'm helping organize
Sizzle and Spark.

Oh!

The Buckflip is making
a comeback?

I might have some singles
in my wallet.

Buck is declining
to strip and to flip.

What? Then I don't know
why I'm here.

Oh. Oh, right.

I was hoping to have a moment
with my captain.

Right this way.

Rhythm is not their strong suit.

So, what brings you in?

I had a, uh,
a checkup yesterday.

Bad news from the doc?

He said everything
looks good. Really good.

Good.

When does he say
you can come back to work?

He's comfortable with now.

Done! Hen.

That's incredible.
Let's tell the other guys.

Whoa, whoa, let's hold on that.

Right, let's wait
till Eddie gets here.

-We can announce it over dinner.
-Well, the doctor

is comfortable.

I'm not so sure I am.

What are you talking about?

You just got
a clean bill of health.

And I'd like
to keep it that way.

What if I come back and I end up
back in a wheelchair?

You're kidding.

You have a regimen now.
Exercise, diet...

And managing my stress.

How am I supposed to do that
when stress is my job?

When we're running into a
burning building, what do I do?

Stop and meditate?

We can work around that.

How?

Is the world spinning backwards
right now?

Buck doesn't want
to be a slab of meat

and y-you don't want
to be a paramedic?

It's been trench warfare trying
to get back to who I am, Chim.

For Karen, for the kids.

But if I flare up,

I could lose myself
all over again.

Maybe for good.

Well, I don't want
to lose you, either.

I guess that means
I need you to stay healthy,

whatever that takes.

I think this is what it takes.

Well, you know
what's best for you.

But you got to ask yourself,
who is Henrietta Wilson

if not a paramedic?

The hell if I know.

This part's
gonna blow your mind.

He's been dead the whole movie.

What?

How do you know that?

The internet.

I hate the internet.

Hate that even more.

I think
it's your car alarm, Dad.

Hmm.

Stay inside.

"Stay away from her."

Now, what do we think
that means?

My best guess... her.

Oh. So, you two are...

No. I, uh...

asked Alex to help place Abigail

when I found out
she was living out of her car.

I think she was hoping

that I would place her with him.

Alex thinks that maybe.

Abigail's been following me.

Uh, that's how she knew
where I lived and...

then the other day,
after I snapped at her,

Alex and I had coffee.

And your stalker didn't
like what she saw.

-Not "stalker."
-What would you call it?

Not "stalker."

Eddie,

when I find this girl,

are you gonna have it in you
to press charges?

Charges? No.
I don't want her arrested.

Then why are you
bringing it to me?

Because I know if I asked you,

-you wouldn't arrest her.
-Are we not looking

at the same crime scene photos?

Because I see real anger here.

You were there when we pulled
her out of that church, Athena.

She has every right to be angry.

But she doesn't have a right
to take it out on you.

No, I know that,
but I feel responsible.

You're not.

I stepped out of my lane with her.

I-I shouldn't have.

You were just trying to help.

And it ended up
going the opposite.

Look, I know it's best
if I don't reach out to her,

and she's not
gonna listen to Alex.

I was hoping
maybe you talk to her.

Uh, see if she's okay.

And maybe...

get her to back off?

All right,
I'll-I'll see what I can do.

But... I make no promises.

Thank you.

Liar.

What are you doing back here?

Uh, you weren't answering.

A-And you're not hurt,
you're hiding out.

Chimney sent you.

He's worried about you. So am I.

Uh, you loved that auction.

Do you remember when you made it
your Christmas card?

You were very proud of yourself.

Bachelor auction is
a young man's game.

Is that what this is about?

I mean, who are you
threatened by? Ravi? Harry?

No, I'm not competing with them.

I was in my 20s last time.

I did a back flip.

Look, it's...

it's not just that.

I don't feel young anymore.

I party less.

I sleep more. I bake.

Congratulations.

It sounds like
you're in your mid-30s.

Okay, do you know how old
that is in firefighter years?

Average age of retirement is 55.

That means
I'm already past middle-aged.

I've had two kids.

When I look in the mirror,
I don't recognize

the person that I was
a decade ago.

No, hey, you look great.

Oh, believe me, I know.
So do you, by the way.

But that's not what I meant.

Back then, I was... lost.

Now I have this amazing family.

And a job that I love.

And I am a stronger,
better person.

Do you think that
I would trade any of that

to be nine years younger?

No.

Okay, so, let's just say
that you sell for 50% less.

Would you want to be the guy
that you were

when you were a probie?

I like the new Buck.

I'm just not sure
the rest of the world

is gonna feel that way.

Screw the rest of the world.

Get out there
and shake your ass, old man.

Okay?

For the orphans.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Well, that was easier
than I thought.

You want to have a chat?

So, you got a job now,
and a place to stay?

Mm-hmm.

They let me have the room
with the broken AC

if I, uh, wash sheets
and towels.

Gotta say,
it seems like a step down

from your group home.

How did you find me?

Plate readers tracked your car
to this location.

Is that even legal?

It is, if someone's
suspected of a crime.

Eddie sent you, huh?

He asked me
to have a talk with you.

I really screwed up.

You've been through hell

and Eddie saved you from it,

so, clearly, you feel
some attachment to him.

Now, it's fine
to feel protective,

but when those feelings
take over,

they can make us do ugly things.

Like slash tires.

That's a misdemeanor, Abigail.

You're 18 now.
That goes on your record.

I understand.

Eddie doesn't want
to press charges. Not this time.

But another incident
might test his mercy.

Won't happen again.

-So, you'll stay away from him?
-I promise.

-And Christopher and Alex, too?
-Yes.

It'll never happen again.
You have my word.

I never meant to cause him
any trouble.

Please... tell him that.

I'll pass it along.

So, when is this thing?

Saturday.

Why are we going
to a bachelor auction

when we're not interested
in purchasing any bachelors?

-It's for charity.
-Uh-huh.

And potential
future blackmail material.

Do you still have
a future at the 118?

I mean, I want to go back...

-Uh-huh.
-but what if it starts again?

I'm not sure
I can handle the stress.

I don't believe there's
anything you can't handle.

I wish I could be sure of that.

Well, no one can be sure
of anything.

Don't you know that by now?

Karen.

Are you okay?

I think so.

Oh, can you wiggle your toes?

Yeah.

Are you in any pain?
How's your head?

I'm fine. Are you?

Yeah. I just...

Oh. Ow.

Oh, my God.

Call 911!

Yeah. Okay.

911, what's your emergency?

There's been an accident.

There's two other cars, I-I...

I'm not sure
how many are injured.

-Hey.
-Okay.

I got a three-car MVC
on Figueroa and 2nd.

Looks like two drivers
are injured.

One working fire.
Send me two ambos and an engine.

Ma'am. Ma'am, are you okay?

Yeah. I think I can crawl out.

Okay, careful, careful.
Watch the glass.

Hey. C-Can anyone use
a fire extinguisher?

-I can.
-Here.

Aim at the base
where the fire hits the engine.

Okay, here, come on.
Come on, easy.

Hey. Hey, you, you.

Help me with this extraction.

Everyone else,
get back in your cars!

Get back in your cars,
turn your hazards on!

Leave me a clear path
for emergency vehicles.

Get back!

Sir. Sir, can you hear me?

-Anything?
-He must have gone into cardiac arrest

-when he ran the red light.
-How do you know?

Distracted drivers,
they always hit the brake,

even in the last second.

Here.

All right. Help.

Check on the other driver.
She may have a head injury.

Ma'am.

All right.

Come on.

Come on. No. No, it's okay.

Hey! Hey!

Do you need any help?
I'm CPR-certified.

No. No, it's okay.

I'm a paramedic.

-Hello?
-Eddie.

Abigail.

How'd you get this phone number?

It wasn't hard.

Sergeant Grant told me
she talked to you.

She did.

And I know I promised
to stop bothering you.

And I am, I swear.

Uh, not about being bothered.

There's just something
I needed to say to you.

And this is the last chance
I'll get to say it.

I'm sorry for all the trouble
I caused you.

Tell Christopher I said
he has the best dad.

The best.

Abigail, what's going on?

Nothing, I just wanted you
to hear that.

W-What did you mean,
this is the last chance

you'll get to say that?

Please forgive me.

Wait. Abigail.

-Hello?
-Athena.

You said Abigail's
at the Twin Vista Motel, right?

-Why?
-She called me.

Something's not right.

Uh, for instance,
her calling you.

Athena, I think she's about
to do something stupid.

I'm headed there right now.

Uh, not a good idea.

Just pull over
and I'll be right there.

Eddie.

Eddie, what are you doing here?

Tell me what's going on.

-You should go.
-Abigail,

-if you're about to do...
-Eddie, you need to leave.

Not until I know you're safe.

Look, you're not
gonna get in trouble.

We'll get you whatever
kind of help you need.

You can't help me anymore.

Daddy, don't.

I told you, stay away from her.

You have the gall
to take up with my daughter?

You're a grown man!

That's not what happened.

I saw her at your house!

Daddy, he's telling the truth.

LAPD. Drop the knife.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

-Hey. Are you okay?
-Yeah.

On your feet.

You remember these, don't you?

Maybe next time I tell you to pull over

and let PD handle it,
you'll listen.

I assumed the worst about her.

No. You saw her
for what she was.

A girl who needed help.

Yeah, Abigail's father
had been stalking her

since the judge released him.

She had a restraining order,

but Daddy thought
he was her guardian angel.

More like the angel of death.

And get this: the group home called.

They found security footage
of him tossing her room.

-Which is why she ran away.
-Yeah,

he was gonna take Abigail home
whether she liked it or not.

Poor girl.

She managed to hide out
at the hotel for a bit.

But when she heard
that he was harassing you,

she gave him her location
so he'd stop.

So, she sacrificed herself
to protect me.

Just like you protected her.

She's lucky that you can't mind
your own damn business.

Eddie.

Buck. How'd you know I was here?

Uh, Athena told Harry,
Harry told me.

-Hi, Athena.
-Yeah.

Let me see.

Oof. Yeah, that's gonna be
a shiner, but...

Mm. Yeah.

We can sell that as sexy.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen...

and welcome

to Sizzle 2026.

Here's your paddle.

There's an open bar.

Reserved seats,
Harry goes on in ten.

Looking good. Who's ready for an action?

All right.
Well, without further ado,

grab those paddles
and grab those seats,

because we're gonna bring out
some of our... - Hi.

Bachelors right now.

Will you get off your phone?
The auction is about to start.

-That's why I'm texting.
-What do you mean?

Sending some kind of bomb threat
so the auction gets canceled?

You think that'd work?

$1,200. Do I have $1,600?

$1,600.

$1,800.

$2,000.

$2,000 going once, going twice.

Sold for $2,000.
Thank you, ma'am.

This next bachelor

is having a year of firsts.

-First year on the job...
-Mom, Mom, it's Harry. - Oh.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

probationary firefighter
Harry Grant.

Yeah! Harry!

All right, now,
let's keep that love going

by starting off at $300.

I got $300 right here...
Oh, $400 right over here.

-All right, who's got $500?
-Ma'am, put it down.

-Uh, Mom, it's for charity.
-Yeah,

I'm trying to have some,
but she's old enough

to be his grandmother.

Who's got $600?

Come on, ladies. Who wouldn't
want to share a meal

with this charming young man?

$1,000!

$1,000.

Oh, is he gonna do a Buckflip?

At least we're in a room
full of medics.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, Buck wanted me

to let everyone know

that he has changed
his wild ways, and he's ready

to settle down
with that special someone.

Could be you.

Let's find out.

That's right, folks.
He's learned to cook.

He is an avid baker.

But that's not all.
Most importantly,

he's an uncle

to his niece and nephew.

Shameless.

Now,

do I have any bidders?

I thought
that might be the case.

So here's
what we're gonna do... - Well played.

♪ In my dreams... ♪

My mother used to say,

no one river
is the same river twice.

That's true for people, too.

Like it or not, we change.

You two
get looked at yet? - No.

But I'm okay.

How about you, Wilson?
You okay?

I'm good.

The people we used to be?

They're gone.
Somewhere downstream.

We change in ways
we never saw coming.

I have $7,500

from the woman in gold
right here.

-Come on!
-Can we do it, folks?

Can we break the record

of $8,001?

-Come on, come on.
-$8,002...

Yes!

If you'll take
five individual checks.

Of course we'll take
five individual checks.

Bingo, bitch.

Passing friendships

stop to catch our gaze
and suddenly,

who knew?

Children, once so small,

become adults too large.

And parents, once giants,

see us eye to eye.

$8,002 going once,

going twice...

Sold for $8,002.

A new record.

We're made wiser by age

and younger by the company
of youth...

Okay, so, it's knit, knit,
purl, purl.

-Right.
-Isn't he a natural? - Aww, come on.

And even if we want to stay put,

that river keeps us moving,
to new challenges,

new adventures,
new versions of us.

Well, we all pulled out
of a hat.

Gas money...

road snacks

and an old-fashioned map

with a red line
from here to Maine.

Thank you, Eddie.

♪ Le, le... ♪

If you get tired, pull over.
Don't be a hero.

That's your job.

Who we are today

isn't who we were yesterday.

Or who we have to be tomorrow.

And so, I choose to learn,

to grow, to stay strong

and push through.

To love and dream
and hope and live,

so that, every day,
I get to meet...

the best version of me yet.
