NURSE: Chopper ,
I'm heading up to the roof now. Over.
Roger that. Medevac
approaching the pad.
Medevac, I see you!
MANNY: It's weird.
What's that?
The place where this
heart's coming from,
that was a tragedy.
But once we land, it's gonna
turn into a miracle, right?
(chuckles softly)
Yeah. I like that.
Miracle incoming.
Ah, I can't see the pad... hang on!
Pulling up!
What the hell?
I've lost the whole tail rotor.
Hang on!
Generator should've
kicked in automatically.
Something's wrong.

That came from the roof.
Let's go.
The generators will have to wait.
EDDIE: Window washing cables.
This thing's holding on
- by a thread, Cap.
- , I want ropes,
webbing and the heavy winch
on the rooftop, double-time.
- We're not waiting for any of that, right?
- No!
First thing we do is get
those rotors turned off.
Hen, Buck, you check that cabin
and see what we got.
Eddie, you're with me.
(coughing)
Kid! Can you hear me?!
Can't move.
Chim, this is Hen.
I need you to bring me
a backboard and C-collar
- from inside.
- Copy that.
Hang in there, kid, we're
gonna put this fire out
and then get you out, okay?
It's slipping!

- Help me!
- We're okay! We're okay!
We're okay. You're okay.
Wh-What's your name?
- Manny.
- Manny?
How long you been a paramedic?
- Been at it almost a month.
- Oh, wow.
You're lucky, Manny!
It was a while before I
got to see any real action.
This ain't quite the
action I was hoping for.
You're gonna be okay, kid.
Buck, let's get the pilot out of here!
(grunting)
Here.
Backboard!
- Hen, what do we got?
- Spinal.
I'm guessing cervical.
We need to flip him on this backboard.
- That's a two-person job.
- EDDIE: I'm available!
Trick is, how do we do that here?
The backboard's long enough
to cover this opening.
- You're gonna flip me over the window?
- I know.
- It's not optimal.
- No, very not optimal!
Listen, it'll work. Strap him in.
We'll figure out a way to pull him out.
All right, flip him on three.
One, two, three!
(grunts)
- How you doing, Manny?
- Breathing's good.
Pulse feels right.
- Okay.
- I can move my fingers.
Not my toes.
That's good, Manny.
You're making our job very easy.
Thanks for that.
Good job.
Eddie!
Secure this to the board.
- All set, Cap!
- Okay, we're all set!
Go!
Wait!
The heart!
This is a transplant flight!
EDDIE: I got it.
Hen!
(Hen groans)
You worry about that
later. Let's get him out.
EDDIE: Go, Hen, come on!
Get him up over that ledge!
Easy! Easy!
(shouting, clamoring)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
(shouting, clamoring)
Feels like it's about to go, Hen!
Come on!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
(grunting)
HEN: Looks like he's lost
sensation in his lower extremities.
Possible spinal cord injury.
He needs cold fluids right away.

Why are you...?
Michael, are you having a party?
No.
You know, it's more like a gathering.
Just a few neighbors.
When I invited you and David to
stay at the house with Harry,
I didn't expect for
you to throw a party.
Well, this is the only
house in the neighborhood
that has a generator.
People came over to
charge their devices,

Look, just don't eat the steaks.
We paid a small fortune for them.
Uh... (stammers)

All right, talk to you later, okay?
What'd I miss?
Did you give Harry this money?
DAVID: Because that's
something you've known me to do.
Spill it.
Okay, I may
have been charging the
neighbors to come in.
Just five dollars.
That's a deal considering what they get.
Electricity, all-you-can-eat food.
Harry Grant...
I want you to give every
cent of this money back.
You hear me? We are not
trying to turn a profit here.
But, Dad...
No, we are here to help people, okay?
Not take advantage of them

That's not what good neighbors do, son.
Go now.
And pass out some waters

And don't charge anybody for 'em.

How can I help you, Officer?
My name's Sergeant Grant.
I got a call over my radio
that someone here was looking for me?
It was a little unclear.
- ZIMMERMAN: Sergeant Athena Grant?
- That's right.
I'm Dr. Zimmerman. Can you come with me?
He was brought in five days ago.
Some kids found him in MacArthur Park.
His throat was cut.
Looked like he'd been dumped
there... no wallet, no I.D.
He lost a lot of blood, and we
were able to repair the wound,
but it caused a stroke.
We didn't think he was gonna make it.
This morning he came to

We were a little preoccupied

he had Hudson in custody.
It was a done deal. You

in her breathing pattern,
if she starts coughing
or vomiting, bring her back immediately.
- I will.
- But...
I think she's gonna be fine.
How are you doing?
Shaky.
Just feel like the
adrenaline's wearing off.
Then you should get her home.
I bet you both could
use a good night's sleep.
I'll have the nurse have you discharged.
Thank you.
For everything. It's been
a pretty terrifying night so far.
Well, probably not the
last you'll experience
before she makes it to adulthood.
And I speak from experience.
I feel like I age a decade every time
one of my kids has an accident.

How was your day four?
Or are we in day five of this craziness?
Well, five, I think.
You know, lions, tigers...
blood-spitting alpacas
on Hollywood Boulevard.
- The usual.
- How is it that every time
it seems the world is ending,
it ends some more?
Because it never actually does, just...
keeps us on our toes.
More like knocks us on our asses.
Yeah? How so?
I am sitting outside this woman's home,
waiting for Jeffery
Hudson to make a move.
And yet I haven't warned her.
Or the other victims.
They're not helpless bait, Athena.
They are protected because
you are there looking out for them.
That man stood in court the other day
called me a rogue cop.
Here I am,
fulfilling the prophecy.
You are doing your job, and
those women have been
hurt enough already.
Besides, there's a good
chance he never even shows.
Is it bad that I hope he does?
I hope that for you too, baby.
Bobby Nash.
Did you just say you
hoped I come face to face
with a dangerous
escaped fugitive tonight?
I believe I did.
Well, that might be the sweetest thing
you have ever said to me.
I want you to be the one who gets him.
Except this time, don't
sh**t him in the leg.
Oh, I'm gonna aim higher
and empty the clip.
Believe that.
Got to call you back.
I just got some very
esteemed reinforcements.
Be safe.
Well, this might be an LAPD first.
Don't think I've ever seen
a captain on a stakeout.
That's why I left my
bars at the station.
Captain, what are you doing here?
Eh, you know, one way or another
Hudson is responsible for
slicing up one of my guys
and putting him on life support, so...
at this point, it's personal.
(chuckles)
So I'm relieving you.
(exhales)
Respectfully, Captain...
thanks but no thanks. I'm not leaving.
Yes, you are.
Ransone is awake.
And he's asking for you again.
We were able to extubate
him a few hours ago,
but he hasn't been able to speak.
He's still got the pen and
paper, though, which tells me
the stroke hasn't significantly impaired
- his cognitive abilities.
- That is good news.
I heard you were looking for me.
(sobs)
(grunting)
You save your strength, Lou.
But it is...
damn good to see you too.
Yeah, we found her dead.
g*nsh*t wound. Probably...
two days old.
_
I figured it.
I just put the pieces
together a little too late.
I'm so sorry I wasn't there, Lou.
_
In the wind.
Again.
More like some hunches.
Maynard thinks he's
probably long gone by now,
but I'm not so sure of that.
_
I think that's our best
chance of catching him.
We have surveillance units posted
at all the victims' houses.
And we're waiting for him.
(grunting)
_
My house? What about it?
No, no, it's okay, Lou, it's okay.
You're...
victim...
too.
These people aren't leaving.
(groans)
I should've let Harry
- charge them by the hour.
- (chuckles)
Guess you're regretting
that "we're supposed to help
our neighbors in their
time of need" speech?
Yeah, well, technically, they're not
- my neighbors anymore.
- Ooh.
- Hmm?
- (laughs)
(indistinct chatter)
No. Mom has to work until
the emergency's over.
That's too bad.
I was really hoping to see her.
(chuckles softly)
(phone ringing)
Athena?
Bobby, I'm on my way to the house,
but I'm still ten minutes out.
Can you get there before me?
Well, I can try. Traffic is
pretty clogged here by the firehouse.
Aren't Michael and
David there with Harry?
They're not picking up.
Bobby...
I was so worried about
Jeffery Hudson going after
one of his victims that I forgot...
You're one of them, too.
I'm on my way.
- Chim.
- What's up, Bobby?
Here, you're in charge. I'm
taking the captain's truck.
I will explain later.
What? What's going on?
(engine starts)
- (phone ringing)
- Elaine, I'm almost home.
I'm five minutes away.
And I managed to get
some units out there.
Do not go in there alone.
- I don't think that's an option.
- Athena!
The last time you
went in without backup,
it did not end well.
People keep talking to
me about the last time.
I no longer have the
luxury to dwell on that.
Michael? You here?
(glass breaks in distance)
- Hands up! Don't move!
- No, no, no! Athena, it's me!
- It's me, it's me, it's me!
- Michael, what the hell?!
- I almost sh*t you!
- Yeah, I can see that.
Now, what the hell is going on?
That's what I'm trying to find out.
Where is everyone? Why
is the house so dark?
- I thought you had people here.
- The generator went out.
Everybody left. (chuckles)
Goes to show you who
your friends are, right?
- Ah! And let there be light.
- (exhales)
Oh good. We're back.
Wait, did it just out of gas?
No, it was unplugged.
Someone must have kicked
out a plug by accident.
MAYNARD: Athena?
- Everything okay?
- He's not here.
Who's not here?
Would somebody mind telling me
what in the hell is going on?
Michael.
Where's Harry?
Uh, he was just here.
Uh, there's his phone.
(gasps)
(indistinct radio chatter)
Residents only.
You're gonna have to turn
around or show some ID.
Sorry about that, Detective.
We've had some reports of break-ins.
Can never be too careful.
