06x15 - Death and Taxes

Post by bunniefuu »

Honey, I'm sorry but there is
no way I can make it by :.

Just eat without me.

Yes, I realize it's your parents.

Tell your dad to order
the most expensive cab.

He's good at that.

Oh...

No, you did not order any...

(groans)

sarcasm, honey, but you realize

what time of year it is.

All of my clients waited
until the last minute

to file their taxes, again.

Of course I want to see your parents.

Well, maybe the problem is you insist on

inviting them to town
every year around tax day,

like you're testing me or something.

Yes, it's true, you've been
doing it for years.

Of course I'm keeping the receipts.
That's literally my job.

What do you want me to say?

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart.

"My in-laws are in town,
so I won't have time

to finish your returns?"

I am not burning my practice
to the ground

after all the work
I've put into building it.

(sighs)

Yes, I'll try to get there for dessert.

Love you.

Oh, my God!

(crying out)

Dispatch said a man
broke in after hours,

tried to burn the office down.

LAPD's on their way, but caller said
the victim is no longer a thr*at.

Oh. And all those banker's boxes

equal more than a few matchboxes.

Many unhappy returns.

Why didn't the sprinklers go off?

Somebody's quick on their feet;
avoided some serious damage.

I tried to move him, but his skin
fell off. I didn't know what to do.

BOBBY: Well, you did your part by

putting out the fire.

I tell you what, let's step aside,
let my team finish from here.

Buck, check for hot spots.

- Chim, you're with me.
- Copy that.

- Pulse is weak.
- Breathing shallow.

Sir, can you hear me?
Can you tell me your name?

No response. Probably burn shock.

EDDIE: I'll start him on oxygen.

Pulse ox is good.
No signs of smoke inhalation.

All right. So I can take this off?

Not unless you want to go
to the hospital, too.

Okay, office is clear. I found this.

Looks like it belongs to the perp.

Mason Lewis. You know this guy?

He's a client who's being audited.

(cries out in pain)

It's-it's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Foil blanket,
then let's get him on a gurney.

Dispatch, this is Captain Nash,
. We're wrapping up here.

Please alert L.A. General Burn Center

- we are nine minutes out.
- He's good, Cap.

Hey, listen, if you experience
any dizziness

or lightheadedness,
get yourself to an ER.

Not today, I won't.

I still have piles
of returns to go through

to see what I can salvage.

Well, it's like they say, Cap:

only two things in this life
are inevitable.

Death and taxes.

Well, and sometimes they go together.

Dispatch, this is -L-

arriving at Glen Drive

to provide assistance in arrest warrant.

DISPATCH: Copy, -L-.

- So, who's today's lucky contestant?
- Dominic Dawson.

-year-old male wanted for defrauding

a homeless charity.

Dominic Dawson of
Dawson Dream It foundation?

Got caught buying a yacht
with the organization's money.

They're saying he's
a potential flight risk.

ATHENA: He's in there now.

Mm. Second floor.

So let's stop talking about it.

Police. Open up.

Open up! Police!

♪ ♪

(clatter)

ANTHENA: Suspect in bathroom.
Battering ram needed.

(rummaging, soft clattering)

(soft clatter)

Police. Come out with your hands up.

Open up the door, now.

- MAN: Don't sh**t. I'll be right out.
- (toilet flushing)

Really?

I'd give it a minute.

(sighs)

DOMINIC: Yo, there sure were
a lot of new people


showing up back there.

ATHENA: Evidence division.

We didn't just serve an arrest warrant.

A search warrant came with it.

Almost always does.

I would think a man such as
yourself would know that.

You mean a thief such as myself, right?

You know, last time I checked

I was innocent till proven guilty.

Is that why you're asking
so many innocent questions?

I just don't like having
people in my house.

Oh, well, they should only be there

two, maybe three days at most.

Sooner if you tell us
where you're hiding

all that money you embezzled.

(groaning)

Sir. Dominic!

Dispatch, this is -L-.

I need an RA unit and backup unit
at Temple and Alameda, now.

Suspect is unconscious.

MADDIE: Copy that
loud and clear, -L-.


Temple and Alameda.
I've located an available unit.


The is en route.
They're two minutes out.

Is the suspect breathing?

Barely.

Dominic? Dominic, can you hear me?

Dominic!

MADDIE: Can you check for a pulse?

No carotid pulse.
Starting chest compressions.

(siren approaching)

Stay with me, Dominic.
Help is almost here.

(sirens approaching)

(exhales)

(indistinct radio chatter)

PARAMEDIC: Let's go.

Okay, got nothing. We got this, Officer.

- Sergeant, what happened?
- I don't know.

He just collapsed.

PARAMEDIC: Okay, we
got a pulse. Let's move him.

All right, escort them to
the hospital and stay with him.

Wherever he goes, you go.

- Got it?
- Roger.

LIEUTENANT: And you're certain there was

no altercation of any kind upon arrest?

Sergeant Grant?

Did he resist?

(exhales sharply) He gave himself up.

I put him in the car.

Did he seem nervous? Panicky?

Not at all.

One minute, he's chatting me up,

the next minute,
he's down for the count.

Well, it sounds like you did
everything by the book, so

now it's just about the paperwork,

and that won't be too bad.

He had a pulse when they took him away.

MAYNARD: Not anymore.

We just got word from the hospital.

Dominic Dawson is dead.

(sighs)

Remember that big Math test? I aced it.

Hmm.

But science is still
my favorite subject.

We made s'mores with solar ovens.

Now we can make s'mores
every night, like we used to.

No, not every night.

Why not?

Well, funny thing about solar ovens,

they don't work at night.

Dad, you know what I mean.

I still miss
making s'mores with you, Mom.

I'm sure she misses making them
with you, too, bud.

Dad, do you think she can
hear us when we talk to her?

Absolutely.

That's why we come here.

I wish I could hear her talk back.

Me, too, bud.

Me, too.

Hey, do you want to go
to the store on the way back?

We can pick up some stuff
to make some s'mores.

Can we make an extra one for Mom?

Always.

They're not suggesting you had
anything to do with it?

Of course not, but that
doesn't change the fact that

he collapsed in the
back of my patrol car.

Right.

- He was under my supervision.
- But, Athena,

I don't think there's anything
you or anyone

could have done to prevent it.

I just keep replaying it
over in my head.

Yeah.

I know you want
to find an answer, but this

might be a case where there isn't one.

The man could have just d*ed,

and there's no rhyme or reason to it.

There is always a reason.

Whoa, that is a lot of ice cream.

Is Jee having a party
that I don't know about?

Broken freezer at
the grocery store equals

% off of ice cream.

An offer that would be
criminal to refuse.

- We're never gonna eat all that.
- Mmm.

Well, think about how much I saved.

A year's worth of ice cream
for the price of six months.

And there's no such thing
as too much ice cream.

Here, try this. Dulce De deliciousness.

- Oh, my God.
- Right?

It's like you can taste the cinnamon.

No. Oh, my God, this. It's from the IRS.

Okay, so open it.

Nothing good ever comes from the IRS.

(sighs) Not opening it doesn't
change the fact that you got it.

May I?

They're probably just trying
to verify your new address

or something.

- Or not. You're being audited.
- What?

How is that possible?

It's probably just some random audit.

They do these things all the time.

It's not the end of the world.
Everything's gonna be fine.

Hey.

This is another letter
from the IRS addressed to me.

MADDIE: They want
to meet with us together.

In person.

I don't get it. Something
must have triggered it.

Maybe it's the loan
we got from your parents.

I knew we should have
never taken that money.

Uh, that's not what you said
when we deposited the check.

What about the donation we gave
during the move?

All tax-deductible and totally legit.

Look, you're spiraling.

We both are, and I don't know
what we're freaking out about

because, obviously,
it was a simple mistake.

You know, it's not like
we intentionally meant

to do something wrong.

Maddie, it's the IRS;
they don't care about intentions.

- Ice cream.
- Oh, great.

You're supposed to be in bed.

(Maddie chuckles) Ice cream.

Might as well let her eat some.

Could be the last time

we have a late-night snack
with our daughter

- before they haul us off to jail.
- Shh.

Papa jail.

Okay, do you want some ice cream?

I've been looking up
all the most common reasons

for being audited,
and nothing is ringing a bell.

Well, why don't you call an accountant
and get an expert opinion?

Ah, we want to make sure we have
all our ducks in a row first.

- He's gonna sh**t 'em down.
- Do you have any foreign accounts?

You know, maybe something
your dad set up for you

when you were a kid.

Something my dad set up for me?

That's hilarious. Next.

You know, Chim,
I looked into it as well,

and apparently there's a .% chance

of just being audited at random.

Lies. Nothing is random.
And nobody is helping!

Neither are you.

Look, don't b*at yourself up, Chim.

I'm not great at doing
my taxes, either. No one is.

- Uh, I am.
- Seriously?

You missed his whole superpower phase.

I actually thought about using
my newfound math skills

to file my taxes by hand this year.

- So did you?
- No.

I-I said I thought about it.
I hired a professional.

Still not helping.

Why are you and Maddie doing
your own taxes anyway?

We're using a computer program
instead of a real person,

'cause it's cheaper.

(chuckles) Until they hit you
with the fines.

You guys think I'm a goner, don't you?

- (alarm ringing)
- Hey, listen, Chim.

Remember, with the IRS
you can run, but you can't hide.

(solemn organ music playing)

Auntie Marie was the glue
of this family.

She left us with countless memories

and mountains' worth of
unsolicited advice.

(laughter)

But there was one piece of advice

that she gave to me
that I will cherish forever.

The guiding principle of life

that I will continue to live by

and pass on for generations to come.

And that piece of advice is...

(panicked screams)

_

_

_

_

_

We were just getting started
when it crashed through

and landed on top of Marie.

EDDIE: She's breathing.

Looks like this angel was
literally watching over her.

Hen, Ravi, get that driver out of here.

Eddie, Buck, I want airbags.

Let's get this car lifted and stabilized
before we move her.

- BUCK: All right.
- HEN: All right.

Are you in any pain?

No, not really?

Did you black out before the crash?

I saw two parking spaces,
then there was just one.

Clearly not the one I just drove into.

(groans)

Let's get him on a gurney.

(creaking)

Okay, Cap, this isn't
gonna hold much longer.

All right, hit it on green, let's go.

Going up.

(car creaking)

BOBBY: That's it, keep going.

I knew these heels would be
the death of me.

Well, you broke your ankle
to avoid being crushed by a car.

- Take the win.
- BUCK: Almost there.

Okay, we're good.

BOBBY: All right, let's
get her out. Let's move her.

Okay, on three. One, two, three.

Hen, I'm gonna need a hand over here.

I'm on my way.

Vitals are clear.

Obvious fracture to the fibula.

- You good?
- RAVI: Yeah.

I've got this.

She's coming to.

Ma'am, can you hear me?

Everyone came to see me?

- Ma'am, can you tell me your name?
- Marie.

Hi, Marie, I'm Hen. How you feeling?

Any specific pain?

I always have pain in my hip.

Backboard.

On three. One, two, three.

There we go.

I'm sorry for your loss, ma'am.

I-I can't imagine how hard
it must have been

to lose your twin.

Sorry for my loss? That's me.

You were in attendance
at your own funeral?

Oh, I-I was sitting right over there.

Now, what better place to be
for your own funeral

than the front row?

It's called a living funeral.

MARIE: Natalia planned it for me.

She's my death doula.

HEN: Death doula?

I've only heard of the other kind.

I prefer "end-of-life" doula.

Here I thought my job was interesting.

You just lifted a car
off of a human being.

I'd say your job is pretty interesting.

Hey, Buck, make some room.

Uh, let me take you this way.

All right, ma'am, try not to move.

You may have dislocated your hip.

Well, it happens all the time.

A symptom of my everlasting
fight with bone cancer.

Don't lose hope just yet.

This isn't about losing hope.

You see all those people there?

I haven't seen any of them in years.

I invited them out to this ceremony

so that I didn't have

- to see them from a casket.
- EDDIE: Hmm.

Where's the fun in that?

I guess that's one way
of throwing a family reunion.

We're all gonna die alone.

Might as well spend time with our
loved ones while we're still living.

Uh, hey, can I take a look at that?

I, uh, I meant your hand.

- This? It's just a scratch.
- Well, I-I specialize in scratches.

Here, why don't you
take a seat? (exhales)

Uh, so, aside from

planning pre-death funerals,

what exactly does
an end-of-life doula do?

Well, if your job is to prevent death,

my job is to help people accept it.

You know, you, uh, you might say

death and I are old acquaintances.

Maybe even friends for a moment.

Lucky you. How'd you pull that off?

I d*ed. Just for a few minutes.

Struck by lightning.

Wow, that sounds amazing.

- (chuckles)
- (chuckles)

Would you like to grab a coffee?

I'd love to hear more.

Uh, about your...
about your acquaintance.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, that sounds nice.

BOBBY: Buck, let's move.

Uh, I gotta... I gotta go.

Here.

Apparently the Earth is more important.

We can make a whole week out of it.

Dad, we gotta go!

Hey, come talk to your abuela.

We're gonna be late.

Sorry, Mom, I gotta go.

Oh, my God, will you please play a game

You're gonna give me an aneurysm.

Hey, how come you're so Zen
about this all of a sudden?

Because there's nothing
we can do about it.

Yeah, but doesn't it bother you

that the government's gonna be
all up in our business,

combing through every inch of our lives
with a fine-tooth comb?

'Cause that's what an audit is, Maddie.

They leave no stone unturned.

Are you afraid that I'm gonna
find out something I shouldn't?

No. You?

Of course not.

Okay, then.

Hey, do they still have debtors' prison?

This isn't a Dickens novel.

Buckley, Han?

- Follow me.
- Remember what we said.

Never take candy from strangers
except on Halloween.

Don't give them any information
unless they ask for it.

We are fine. Just... relax.

Right.

Do you know why you're here?

The letters didn't say.

This is a test. It's a test, isn't it?

Your returns indicate
what we believe to be tax fraud.

Tax fraud?

No, no, no. We're not...
We would never...

We're not criminals. I mean, look at us.

We're not frauds, either.
We're actually very genuine.

Do you both reside at the
address listen on your returns?

- Yes. Yes, we do.
- Yes. Yes.

And yet you both filed separately
and both claimed head of household.

I thought I was gonna claim
head of household.

Yeah, to which I replied I already had.

I pay over half

- the expenses.
- I pay plenty of expenses.

Enough ice cream to feed
a small village doesn't count.

It does if your family eats
like a small village.

- (clears throat)
- It was an honest mistake.

It's only your first violation.

There's more than one?

The dependent, Jee-Yun Buckley Han.

You both claimed her as well.

Oh. I didn't know that
you were gonna claim Jee.

I guess we didn't really discuss it.

You know what, filing
on the computer, it was...

- it was very quick...
- It was just so fast

and we just...
I-I think that's just another

- honest mistake.
- Mm. You're two for two?

- Is there more?
- You tell me.

Okay...

(sighs) I...

Okay, I borrowed money
from my parents to buy a house,

and I didn't claim it as income.

Probably claimed some medical
expenses we shouldn't have

when our daughter was in the hospital.

She had a viral infection.

- And then we thought it got worse.
- But she's okay,

and we have receipts from
the hospital if you need 'em.

I donated my old car to charity.

None of that was flagged
on your returns.

So we're good?

No, you are not.

Are we going to debtors' prison?

This isn't a Dickens novel.

That's what I said.

DEBBIE: We just send people
to regular prison now.

You will both need to refile
your returns correctly,

upon which time we will determine
precisely what you owe.

- CHIM: That's it?
- You will also need to decide

who is the head of your household.

Well, we could switch every year.

I love that idea. Let's just alternate.

- Love it.
- I love how awesome you're being.

- (both laugh)
- (Debbie clears throat)

You should leave my desk immediately.

- Understood.
- Departing now.

(sighs)

BUCK: So, uh... how's Marie?

Physically, she's not well.

I mean, she survived the accident,

and won't have any major injuries...

Thanks to you guys... but

it's not like it slowed down the cancer.

Emotionally, however, she's...
she's doing really great.

Well, thanks to you.

(stammers) It's fascinating.

I-I never knew someone could
spend their life

bringing people
closer to death... legally.

But you've been closer than anybody.

Been there and come back.

That is so freakin' cool.

- I don't know. Cool?
- Well, wasn't it?

Come on, be honest.

Look how excited you are.

You're like a legit fangirl
for this stuff.

You might say I'm dying to know.

Pun very much intended. (chuckles)

I'll start by saying
I woke up in a world

that was both everything and nothing

I ever wanted it to be.

I can tell from the look on your face

that made absolutely no sense.

Firefighter and philosopher. Noted.

Yeah. Uh, okay, but let me start again.

I-I woke up in a hospital.

And at first, everything seemed
completely normal.

Athena.

Oh, sorry to impose
on your lunch, Luann.

It's all right. How can I help you?

Well, I'm here on unofficial business.

We had a suspect go down
during an arrest the other day.

A Dominic Dawson.

That name sounds familiar.

I believe he was admitted
to the ER yesterday.

Yes.

We picked up his body yesterday evening.

Do we have any information

- on his cause of death yet?
- Not yet.

Unfortunately, we're backlogged.

- That bus accident downtown.
- (exhales)

It'll probably be another day
or two before I get to him.

- So we know nothing.
- Listen,

you're more than welcome
to take a look at the body...

- Unofficially.
- If that's okay.

Ah. Uh, honestly, looking at a body

doesn't always tell you much.

Our answers are usually found
under the skin.

Here we are. Dominic Dawson.

This can't be right.

That isn't him.

He's listed as number .

This is his bracelet.

But not his body.

So, then, who is this?

And where is Dominic Dawson?

Body's been identified as Seth Davis.

Any idea when he swapped
the hospital bracelet?

Security footage doesn't show
anybody unusual

coming or going, so,

must have made the swap
before the transfer.

After he came back from the dead.

Officers found a bottle of Lisinopril...

It's a blood pressure medication...

Emptied in his bathroom,
so he must have given himself

just enough of an overdose.

Caused his vitals to plummet
in the back of your car.

- Why would someone do that?
- In this case,

I figure it's gotta be
one of three things:

money, money or money.

- (chuckles)
- But I'm actually more curious

as to what you were doing here
in the first place.

Finding out that
our suspect wasn't dead.

Anything?

Only explanation I have is he was given

the wrong bracelet in the ER.

- And how likely is that?
- LUANN: It's not.

But it's also not impossible.

We may be looking at a simple mistake.

Oh, no. This was not a mistake.

BOBBY: Well, you got what you hoped for.

You found your answer.

ATHENA: Well, I found the first answer.

And like any good answer,

it raised a whole lot of new questions.

I spoke with Hen about the Lisinopril.

She said it would have
bottomed out his blood pressure


for about minutes.

Dominic!

So he could have come to in the ER,
made the switch then.

PARAMEDIC (over radio): Harvey,
we need some help


- in the lobby.
- Roger that.

ATHENA: The ER was
inundated after that bus crash.


BOBBY: He was able
to get out, but go where?


ATHENA: That's the
million-dollar question.


The police have been tossing his house
looking for the money he stole.

I just don't like having people
in my house.

Oh, well, they should only be there two,

maybe three days.

Sneaky son of a...

Nice work, Sergeant.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Shock advised. Charging.

ATHENA: Where is that ambulance?

How long have you
been doing compressions?

About seven minutes.

All right.

- Okay.

We got this.

- Nothing.

- Charging.
- Preparing to shock.

- Clear.
- Clear!

- Nothing.
- BOBBY: What happened?

He was going through processing,

and then he just collapsed, again.

Maybe that Lisinopril did a
better job than it should have.

Sharp decline of blood flow,
basically asking for a heart att*ck.

Well, I'd say
let's call the police, but...

I'll get the medical examiner
on the line.

Just give it a minute.

Make sure he doesn't make
another run for it.

(Athena sighs)

- So it was the cancer?
- Yeah.

Her organs started failing
after the accident,

but she-she was already
in a pretty bad way.

Natalia said the doctors
actually complimented our work.

We're all gonna die alone.

That's what she said to me and Hen.

Yes and no.

Right? I-I mean,
she got to see all her friends

and family before she went.

That was a beautiful thing
Natalia did for her.

Yeah, uh, Natalia.

(chuckles) I, uh, I may have
paid her a visit, too.

Really? Dating someone you rescued?

- You know that never ends well.
- This-this is different.

You know. Anyway, she wanted to ask me

- about the lightning strike.
- Right.

You love being the guy with the answers.

No, I'm serious.

There's something...
different about her.

I f... I feel like she sees me.

You know? Like she-she really sees me

for who I am and what I've been through.

I think she might even see more in me

than I see in myself.

Look, I know we razzed you
about your math skills.

Maybe I even tried
to get rich off of 'em.

But to be honest,

you haven't been the same
since it happened.

- But how could you be?
- (sighs)

The truth is, man, uh,

I-I still don't know how to act.

I am different.

I feel like I have to try and be the...

same old Buck.

Mostly for the sake of everyone else.

You don't have to be anything
for anybody.

And no one is ever the same
from one day to the next.

Experiences like this, they change us.

So what changed in you?

Well, when I woke up

in that hospital,

I felt like I had gotten away
with something.

You cheated death.

My life could have ended
right then and there,

but it-it didn't.

That has to mean something, right?

It means you're one lucky guy.

Yeah, well, I don't think
I'm gonna get that lucky again.

Well, maybe you don't have to.

Lightning doesn't strike
the same place twice.

Which is why I have to make the most

of every single moment.

Because from here on out...

it's all a gift.

Okay.

One black coffee, and one affogato.

Affogato. Fancy.

Yeah, we've got a lot of ice cream

we need to get rid of.

Thanks for coming by so last-minute.

- We really appreciate it.
- Of course.

I would have invited you to my office,

but it's a little charred at the moment.

I heard. I guess this tax stuff
does make people crazy.

You have no idea.

We kind of do, actually.

So this head of household
business, that's just about

who makes the most money?

Or who spends the most money?

Let me simplify it for you.

File together, save yourselves $,.

I know it's not the most
romantic thing in the world,

- but...
- $,?

Sounds pretty romantic to me.

Great. So, next year,
before you file your taxes,

there's only one thing you need to do.

- Great.
- We'll be ready. What is it?

Get married.

(people on TV speaking Spanish)

Oh...

Who's ready for some...

s'mores?

(man speaking Spanish on TV)

(intense music playing)

(TV shuts off)

(exhales)

(chuckles)

Missed out, bud.

(magnet clatters)

Hey, Mom.

Oh, nothing, just eating s'mores

and watching la novela with Christopher.

(chuckles)

Yeah, I know it's late. I'm sorry.

I was thinking maybe
we could watch it together

in El Paso next weekend.

I know.

(chuckles) Yeah, I know.

I know, it's last-minute,
but I miss you guys,

and I know Christopher does, too.

Exactly. Why wait?

Well, there's no better time than now.

So that accountant guy suggests
you two get married,

and you just go about your
business like nothing happened?

Well, it felt awkward
to talk about it afterwards,

so I just kind of
snuck out this morning.

So now you're gonna go home,
and the elephant is still

gonna be standing in the room.

I can't be the one to bring it up.

It'll feel like I'm pressuring him.

Broaching the subject isn't
the same thing as pressure.

Do you want to marry Chimney?

(sighs) I don't know.

(stammers) There's a part of me

that never wanted
to marry anyone ever again.

Yeah, but this is Chimney.

A completely different situation.

He's amazing and sweet,

and he loves you to no end.

Yes, he is all of those things.

And we are committed to each other

- 'cause we're raising our daughter.
- Exactly.

Exactly. So why do we need
to get married?

See, I knew that you would wander

- Ooh.
- ♪ And I thought

You could be free

I guess I thought that

This is what you wanted

Give me love like a circle

And I'll be happy then.
