I don't want any
surprises out there today.

[YOUNG JUDD] This
is a bad idea, Cal.

This is a mint condition
' chick magnet.

It'd be a crime for it to
just sit here all summer long.

Crime is gonna be us driving it.

Would you stop
being such a baby?

Just imagine us cruising
the strip in this,

past all those
high school girls?

It'll be so fly.

Until they see we're a
couple of -year-olds.

You look at least , and I
read at an th grade level.

(animal howling in distance)

So that's a problem.

Yeah.

Dude, you're just gonna

He's challenging our manhood.

We don't got no manhood, dummy!

Yeah, but the girls in
the back don't know that.

Evening, ladies.

(engine revs)
(woman giggles)

Hell yeah! Let's dust 'em.
(engine revving)

(both engines revving)

(tires screeching)
Whoa!

That's right, son!
Whoa! Yeah!

Eat our dust!

Yeah! Way to go! (Whoops)

- Did you see that?!
- (whooping)

Yeah, let's go!

- Yeah!
- YOUNG JUDD: Yeah!

They're coming up
from behind us.

Step on it. Step on it!

Dad.

It's all my fault.

Talk about this
when we get home.

(sobbing)

(echoing): Judd?

♪

Judd, you ready, baby?

JUDD: I'm two buttons away.

- Ooh, Lordy, it smells good in here.
- Mm-hmm.

(phone ringing)

Hey, Daddy, we're about
to step out the door.

STUART: Well, step back in.

There's bad weather
coming through.

Now, Dad, don't you even start.

It's your birthday, you just
got your second vaccination,

and you haven't seen your
son in almost a year now.

- All right, we're coming.
- (Stuart laughs)

(thunder rumbles) But you know
the first question- your father's

- gonna ask us when we get there.
- Be about when

we're gonna be ready to
give him some grandbabies?

- Uh, that's the one.
- Yes, I know.

How you gonna dance your
way out of it this time?

I was thinking maybe we don't
dance out of it this time.

I think it's about
time we give him some.

- (laughs) Judson Ryder.
- (car horn tooting loudly)

(Grace screams)

(Grace whimpering)

Judd? Judd? Judd,
wake up, sweetie.

Judd?

(shrieks)

(siren wailing)

All right, Harkes,
k*ll that siren.

What does it mean
when you hear a siren?

Pull over to the
side of the road!

Sure, but what it
really, really means is

that help is on the way. Yeah?

Who wants to take a
guess at why we call

(clicks tongue) this
one the ladder truck?

- 'Cause there's a ladder.
- What is this? This the honors class?

Actually, we don't have
honors class in Bible Camp.

- Maybe you should.
- (laughter)

Right here, I'd like
to introduce you

to Firefighter Garrity.

He's wearing all of
the protective gear.

Now, this is how we
stay safe in a fire.

Helmet protects the old
dome, steel-toed boots

ensures we keep
ten little piggies,

and this mask lets us
breathe through heavy smoke.

Okay, so, anybody have
any questions today? Sir.

Why did you become
a firefighter?

Because he didn't want
to write a college essay.

- Or graduate high school.
- Ah.

(laughing): Well, 'cause it's
the best job in the world.

There's nothing... nothing
better than saving lives.

Anybody else? Anybody? No?

I guess that about wraps it up.

So one last time... If
there's an emergency,

what number do you call?

CHILDREN: !

Boom! Very good.

Over here, cowboys and cowgirls.

Thank you for having us.

May I leave these with you?

We run a prayer hotline at the
church, for those in crisis

- or who just need a friendly ear.
- I strike you

as somebody that
needs praying for?

All you brave men here,
given what you see every day,

might be nice to have a
number other than to call.

It's tough to argue that.

- God bless you.
- God bless you. Thanks so much.

- (alarm ringing)
- Oh!

- Oh! Gotta go, gotta go!
- (overlapping shouting)

Guys. This way.

(siren wailing)

(horn honks)

- Captain Vega. Good to see you.
- Captain Braxton. Hey, Juddy.

- What's up, T?
- What do we know?

Neighbors called .

They said they heard someone
yelling for help inside.

- Ryder, take the door.
- Yup, you got it, Cap.

Ooh! Watch that!

Hey, coming in!

TOMMY: Hello? Austin EMS.

WOMAN: In here! Dining room!

- Oh, thank you for coming.
- Hey.

We're here to help
you now. I'm Tommy.

- What's your name?
- Leigh-Anne.

- How did you fall?
- How many old ladies

does it take to
change a light bulb?

Oh, I see you got jokes.

- Where does it hurt?
- My shoulder and back.

- Okay. Let's see. All right.
- (gasps)

I think you may have
fractured your shoulder.

We're gonna put a C-collar
on you, just to be safe.

Is there anyone you'd
like us to call?

There's no one.

All right. Firefighters,

can you help me get this
nice lady on the gurney?

- Judd, grab her legs.
- Yup.

- I got one.
- LEIGH-ANNE: No!

No! G-Get him away from me!

Keep your hands off me! I
don't want him in my house!

Get out! Get out!

Get out! (Whimpering)

- LEIGH-ANNE: Just leave me here.
- TOMMY: That's not an option.

- One, two, three.
- (Leigh-Anne groans)

TOMMY: Okay.

(groaning, crying)

CAL: Oh, this is so cool.

We actually did it.

Hell yeah! Let's dust 'em!

- Son!
- (whoops)

(tires screeching)

CAL: Come on!

Yeah!

Judd, come on, come on!

(Cal shouting excitedly)

(tires screech, brakes squeal)

(inhales)

(exhales sharply)

(sobbing echoes)

(deep breathing)

Cal, I'm sorry, brother.

- I'm so sorry.
- (deep inhale, exhale)

(dialing)

(line ringing)

GRACE: Prayer in Crisis,
how may I help you today?

Hello?

Hello?

Well, you just take your
time. Uh... I'm right here.

I apologize.

I don't even know why
I dialed this number.

You want to tell me your name?

I'd just make something up.

That's fair enough. How
about I call you John?

That's as good as any.

You said you don't know why
you made this call tonight.

Do you think maybe it's,
uh, because you were led to?

Hey, look, I'm sorry.

I thought maybe I
was in some kind of

a confessional mood, but,

I-I ain't really
much of a talker

- when it comes right down to it.
- That's okay.

You don't have to say
anything if you don't want to.

God knows what's on
your heart anyway.

Can't hide from God.

- Eah. He surely sees everything.
- Y.

Can't even hide from yourself
in the end, although...

I thought I could.

I've been doing a
pretty fair job of it

for about ten years, you know.

Hiding behind the uniform

and pretending that that
uniform was me, but,

but it ain't.

You in the m*llitary, John?

Oh, no. Hell no. I ain't
brave enough for that.

I'm a firefighter.

Well, I think most people would
consider that quite brave.

They'd be right mostly, but

no, I ain't no hero.

And today I got seen.

My uniform gave me
away. It gave me away

'cause I had my stupid
name stitched right on it.

I don't understand.

My fire company got sent
out on this call today,

and the lady we were
supposed to help

turned out to be, uh,
someone I used to know,

and someone who I hurt

a long time ago.

So long ago that
I forgot about it,

but, uh, she didn't.

And she can't.

Well, maybe God was
giving you an opportunity

to make amends.

Well, you know what, that's
a piss-poor opportunity,

if it is one, 'cause there
ain't gonna be no amends,

'cause that woman would
just as soon spit in my face

as forgive me.

Well, then, maybe you should
let her spit in your face.

- Oh, that's really your advice?
- It was to give her

an opportunity to forgive you.

But also

be willing to be spit on.

It's sure as hell no
more than I deserve.

It's no more than any
of us deserve, John.

"Let me never be ashamed.

"Deliver me in
thy righteousness.

"You protect the
faithful and reward

the good-doers as long
as they trust in you."

That's Psalms .

None of us are perfect.

It's by grace that we're saved.

(inhales deeply)

And my name's not
John, it's Judd.

Okay. Well, you sure
you're not making that up?

- No, ma'am.
- Okay.

Well, it's very nice
to meet you, Judd.

My name's Grace.

Well, now who's making it up?

GRACE: Judd. Judd!

Judd, can you hear me,
babe? Please wake up.

(gasping): Judd!

(shrieks)

Baby, wake up. I
need you to wake up.

Judd, we were in an accident.
We're in the river, babe.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're gonna be all right.

I'm gonna knock that window out,
we're gonna swim to the surface.

It'll be easy-peasy, okay?

Judd, my legs are stuck.

I can't move.

(Grace crying out)

- (sputters)
- That's not gonna work.

Come on, this could work. It'll
work if I can get it to move.

- Judd...
- Just one inch!

(straining)

Wait, it's...

Judd, it's time to go.

- I ain't going without you.
- Judd,

I will always be by your side.

- Grace, Grace, Grace, you're damn right.
- Oh, please.

You're gonna be right
by my side because

- wherever you are, that's where I am, too.
- Oh, Judd...

And that's the
deal, right? Right?

That's the deal,
right to the end.

Judd, you have to go.

I can't move!

You have to go.

(Grace crying out)

- (phone rings)
- GRACE: Prayer in Crisis,

- how can I help you today?
- JUDD: Is this Grace?

- It is.
- It's Judd.

- Uh, we spoke the other night.
- I remember.

You sound better.

'M-I'm feeling a little
better, -I taking your advice.

I'm fixing to either make
amends or get spit at.

Well, I'm pleased to hear it.

I just wanted to thank you.
I think you got a real gift,

- and, uh, I appreciate you sharing it with me.
- Well, it's my pleasure.

And if you ever need me again,
you have the number, okay?

Careful now, 'cause I just
might take you up on that.

(chuckles)

(phone ringing)

GRACE: Prayer in Crisis,
how may I help you?

JUDD: Hey, it's me again.

Hey, Judd, how you doing?

Oh, I don't know, I-I think
I'm feeling kind of blue.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

- Um, did something happen?
- No.

It's just more of, like, a
general malaise, I guess.

- A general malaise?
- Well, now, look,

the-the truth is, uh...

I think I just wanted
to hear your voice.

Judd, this is a prayer line.

I know. And I just prayed
that you'd pick up.

And, uh, that means
it's working, right?

(chuckles)

- (phone rings)
- Prayer in Crisis,

how can I help you today?

Howdy, it's me again.

Howdy? I didn't know
people still said howdy.

Oh, yeah, no, no, no,
we still say howdy.

Judd, did you just call here

extra prayer tonight.

Next time, Judd,
just ask for me.

how can I help you tonight?

JUDD: Uh, is Grace in?

- Uh, no, she's not.
- Okay, well,

do you know when
her next shift is?

I got-I got something important
I gotta talk to her about.

PATRICIA: Well, she doesn't
have a next shift, I'm afraid.

Grace doesn't
volunteer here anymore.

Oh, no, man.

Now she's just being mean.

I mean, she already
hit two balls

on a back-corner bank sh*t;
How's that even possible?

The secret is a
steady hand, gents.

- Oh, boy.
- Where the hell you been?

- You get lost on your way back from the can or what?
- Oh, no, I bet you

he was out there talking with
his secret phone buddy again.

Why don't you just shut
up and miss your sh*t?

Okay.

GRACE: Okay, listen, y'all
didn't ask for a toast...

I mean, you didn't
ask for... (laughs)

But I'm gonna give one anyway.
God said to build each other up,

and I promise, that is what
you guys have done for me.

I love y'all, I couldn't have
done it without you, truly.

WOMAN: You're the one
that did the all-nighters

to get that . .

Cheers, guys. (Chuckles)

Juddy, is there a
particular reason

you look like you just got
hit by a lightning bolt?

Which one? Uh, the
one in the t*nk top?

No, no...

Uh-oh.

In the flowers? Okay, okay.

- All right, come on, let's go.
- What do you mean,

- let's go? What are you doing? Come on. Let's go.
- Come on.

Hey, girl my friend likes.

Hi. I'm so sorry to
interrupt, ladies,

but I'd like to introduce
you to my friend.

Hi. (Chuckles)

TOMMY: Judd, speak.

Howdy. I'm Judd.

Hi...

Judd, uh... I'm Grace.

You're so tall.

You are so beautiful.

Ask the girl to dance, Judd.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I...

- Go.
- Yeah.

♪

JUDD: What are the chances?

Honestly, Judd, I'm not sure

chance, uh, had
much to do with it.

I don't think so, either.

So, uh, you don't work for
the prayer hotline no more.

Uh, I don't.

- Mm-hmm.
- I'm sorry. Uh...

I just... I didn't know
how to tell you, I guess.

Oh, no, no, no, you
don't owe me nothing.

You're not gonna believe
this, but I just tried

to call you not ten minutes ago.

- No way.
- Mm-hmm.

For what?

I didn't get spit on.

She forgave me.

Ah.

Judd, that's the most wonderful
thing I've heard ever.

You changed my life.

So, you know, it's
got me thinking

if that's the sort of miracle

that you can work
over the phone,

- imagine what you could do, uh, in person.
- (chuckles)

Judd, the reason I quiet is, uh,

is 'cause I'm moving.

Moving where?

Georgetown.

They have a graduate
school for global policy,

and I found out I got in.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Yeah, I-I knew you was a smart cookie.
- Oh...

(laughs)

So, how, uh... how'd
Friday be, then?

You're not hearing the
words I'm saying, sir.

I leave at the
end of the summer.

It doesn't make sense to
start anything new right now.

I feel like we already
started something.

I feel like I'm dreaming, Judd.

If I'm dreaming, I
don't want to wake up.

OWEN: Judd?

(hoarsely): Where am I?

(clears throat)

Where am I?

- West Park Memorial.
- (monitor beeping steadily)

There was an accident.

Where's Grace? Where's my wife?

Cap, where's my girl at?

JUDD: It was six minutes, T.

She was pinned underwater
for six minutes

before Swiftwater
Rescue got to us.

I know.

You can get brain
damage in four.

TOMMY: You can, you can.

But there have been people
that have been under for seven,

even eight minutes without
permanent brain damage.

The water was cold.

That worked in her favor.

(sighs heavily)

I couldn't get her
out of there, man.

I wasn't strong enough.

- I couldn't save her, I couldn't lift her.
- Judd...

I got spooked.

I saw the-the lights coming
and I shouldn't have swerved

the truck into a river.

Judd!

Do you really think
either one of you

would be coming
out of this better

after a head-on collision?

Is she coming out of it?

(clatters)

Listen to me.
Listen. Look at me.

Okay, we have to be
positive about this, right?

All right.

She's alive.

She's a fighter.

She laid you out.

- With one punch.
- One punch.

Don't you dare
underestimate our girl.

I never have.

JUDD: No, I'm serious.
Smarty-pants here

is about to be taking courses

that I couldn't even pronounce

without getting my
tongue tied up in a knot.

First of all, he is
exaggerating, y'all.

JUDD: No, no, I'm not.

What's-what's the
one? The Globalization

of Emerging
Intercourse Relations.

(laughing) - I'm pretty
sure that's not right.

The Globalization of Emerging.

Intersocietal Relations.

TOMMY: I mean, was impressed

syllables ago.

T's right. This is,
this is impressive.

It's Georgetown, right?
Bill Clinton went there.

LBJ went there.

Tommy, can we talk about
something else now, please?

Aw, look... Oh, look
how cute she is,

trying to avoid the spotlight.

(laughter) - CHARLES: Well,
then, maybe we should just

swing the spotlight
over this way.

- What?
- JUDD: Let's go.

- GRACE: Okay.
- What do you say, my love?

Charles.

Uh, okay... okay.

Um, well, all right,
then. Uh, guess what.

I got myself knocked up.

- (laughter)
- Tommy, stop it.

Y'all are pregnant for real?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- For real?

- Oh, my gosh!
- Yo.

Come here. Come here, come here.

Oh, my God.

I know, it's crazy right?

♪ A brand-new day... ♪

JUDD: Oh, hey, I
hope you don't mind,

but you might be
getting a phone call.

I put you down as a reference.

For what?

Well... with some
firehouses in D.C.

D.C.? So you're going with her?

Oh, no, no. I'm just
kicking the tires for now.

So you haven't told Grace?

There's nothing to
tell yet. You know?

Plus, it's, like,
there's a very fine line

between romantic and creepy.

We've only been doing
this for two months.

CHARLES: Well, she looks
pretty smitten to me.

It's summer, man.
Everybody's smitten.

What about you?

You sure you're
just not... smitten?

No, sir.

I'm in love.

(monitor beeping)

DENICE: She looks like
an angel when she sleeps.

BENJAMIN: Yes.

Since she was a baby.

Y'all really did give
her the perfect name.

DENICE: The second this
girl came into the world,

you could just feel the
Spirit radiating off of her.

Yes, Lord.

DENICE: Always so sweet,

never thinking about
herself, always others.

Yeah, that'd be my wife.

MATEO: How you feeling?

JUDD: Uh, I feel like-like my

- Oh, Cap.

Good to see you,
man. Oh, well, oh.

Look at all this good grub
y'all brought, too. Wow.

TK: We didn't really
know what to get,

so we sort of got everything.

That-that's all
right. I'm, you know,

I'm in the mood for everything,

so, wow.

Thank you. I'll tell you
what, I'm gonna get, uh...

This is Gracie's favorite, so
I'm gonna cut a little piece

for Grace.

So that, uh

when she, when she,
when she wakes up,

just... she's probably
gonna have a big appetite.

So I'll just keep
it here... (sighs)

Just...

I'll just, uh...

Thank you guys for being,
for being here, you know.

For the both of us,
thank you very much.

- PAUL: Mm-hmm.
- TK: All right, we got you.

- JUDD: Thank you.
- MATEO: We got to do the same for our own.

JUDD: Thank you.

BANKS: Hey, Reyes.

CARLOS: Hey, Banks. Carter.
What are you guys doing here?

BANKS: Had to interview
some drunk who plowed

his SUV into a convenience
store this morning.

Look like the same
guy may have ran

some folks off the
Lamar Bridge last night.

CARLOS: Wait, he's here?

BANKS: Yeah. Banged up his leg.

Other than that, nothing
else, not a scratch.

Drunks, right? All
right, see you around.

OWEN: Hey. You good?

JUDD: I'm g... No, I'm good.

I'm good, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's in the Lord's hands now.
He knows what he's doing.

Yes, sir.

- Hey, Judd.
- Hey, Mr. Williams.

Uh, I'm supposed to pick
up Grace for a date.

Yeah, she's, uh,
still getting ready.

Come on in.

You know, my wife is gonna hate

that she missed you.

Here. (Chuckles) Thank you.

You know, she's, uh, she's
grown quite fond of you, Judd.

Well, we both have.

We can tell how much you
care about our daughter.

Well, I mean, I-I know it
ain't... it hasn't been,

uh, more than, well,
I guess, a few months,

but, uh, I love her, sir.

Well, I guess we
finally found something

that we both have in common.

Amen. How about that? (Laughs)

I appreciate it. Oh, man.

- Mmm.
- (exhales)

Holy smokes, that's good tea.

Yeah, that's my
great-granddaddy's recipe.

You know, he was a, uh,
sharecropper in South Carolina.

That man broke
his back every day

so that his children could be

the first in his line to
finish elementary school.

Two generations later,

my mother marched in
Selma with Dr. King.

To fight for my future.

- That's an incredible legacy.
- Yes, it is.

Yes, it is, and I've
spent every day of my life

trying to live up to it.

My question to you, son,

is.

What are you willing to
sacrifice for my daughter?

Whatever it takes.

I was hoping you would say that.

You see, for generations,

this family has been
marching toward its destiny.

But I'm afraid

that that can't happen
if you're a part of it.

(exhales) Okay.

Uh...

What it comes down to
is I am the wrong color.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I'm not talking about the
color of your skin, Judd.

I'm talking about the
color of your collar.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I admire what you do, Judd.

But Gracie is special.

I mean, she has a chance to
go out and change the world.

I-In ways that my
great-granddaddy

couldn't have even imagined.

She's meant for
great things, Judd.

Big things.

Yeah. All I want is
what's best for her.

And that's why I have no doubt
you'll do the right thing.

GRACE: Hey, y'all.

Hey, there she is.

Well, ain't you
looking beautiful?

(chuckles) -GRACE: Ugh, Daddy.
You say that every time.

Judd, I'm sorry I'm
running a little late.

No, it was worth the wait. Uh...

Your daddy's right.
(clears throat)

- You're an absolute vision, Grace.
- Thank you.

♪ First one in,
last one out... ♪

- (engine stops)
- All right.

What... Well, what's
your hurry, cowboy?

Well, I mean, we're
here, ain't we?

Well, the dance floor's
not going anywhere.

No, I know, but, you know,

your, uh, your dance card's
only got a couple dances

left on it before
you got to go, so...

Hmm. What would you
say if I told you

we could have as many
dances we wanted?

Well, how's that?

Well, I think maybe I don't
leave next month, Judd.

I think maybe I stay here.

What about Georgetown?

I don't think
Georgetown is for me.

- Gracie... Gr...
- No, well,

before you say anything,
so there's no confusion,

I've been thinking about
this for a while, Judd.

Before you and I even met.

I mean, but why-why
would you want to give up

a great opportunity like that?

You was, you... was gonna
go make a difference.

Well, who says I can't make
a difference right here?

I watch you do it. Every
single day. And Tommy.

Yeah, me and Tommy
didn't get into a school

with a three percent
acceptance rate.

I understand, Judd,

but you weren't the
only person that I met

while working those phones.

Judd, I really feel
like I met myself.

Talking to people
and connecting...

You're gonna go to Georgetown.

Okay? You're gonna be something.

And, uh, you know,
that's that. That's...

- That's that.
- (car door opens)

Judd, I love you.

I loved you before I met you.

And I happen to know

that you love me, too.

(takes deep breath)

You're wrong. I'm...

I don't believe you.

Look at me, in my eyes,

and tell me that
you don't love me.

I don't love you.

(thunder crashes)

Okay?

- Okay...
- Hang on a minute, please.

Will you let me
just take you home?

Well, I don't know what makes
you think I'm going home.

I came here to dance.

And that's exactly
what I'm-a do.

You can go home, sir.

BRAXTON: Garrity,
ladder the building,

start ventilating the roof.

Ryder and Harkes,
run a two-and-a-half

- to the nearest hydrant.
- You got it, Cap.

All right.

Unbelievable.

Where the hell do people
like this get off?

Yeah, some people think that
their stuff don't stink.

- Been going around.
- What you mean, going around?

Don't worry about it,
let's just run this line.

Yeah, but how you gonna run it?

Let me grab that from you.
I'll take care of that.

OLLIE: Hey! Hey!

That's my car!

Oh, this your car?

You got to be kidding me.

You parked it in front
of a fire hydrant,

so the police will send
you your ticket, all right?

OLLIE: What the hell?

You could have at least
let me open the door.

- Yeah, I guess I could have.
- I want your name,

you son of a bitch.
You're paying for this.

I tell you what, why don't
you call my office, okay?

You got a pen? The number's .

- I'm calling my lawyer.
- Good, you're gonna need a lawyer

if you don't get out of my way.

'Cause if you interfere
with public duty,

that's a felony in Texas.

Enjoy your power trip now.

Because tomorrow,
when you wake up,

you'll still be a
sad little fireman.

BRAXTON: Hey, hey, hey!

Easy, easy!

- Break it up.
- JUDD: I'm good, good, good.

I'm good. Y'all got
him? Oh, man, man, man.

Me? Me? It's me.

(grunts)

Um, I'm sorry you had to
come all the way out here.

No, that's exactly what I
wanted to do with my day.

Spend some quality time with
my son and his bail bondsman.

What the hell were
you thinking about?

I was... I-I was
trying to fight a fire.

I didn't know I had to
fight some douchebag, too.

You know, the only thing smart
about you anymore is that mouth.

Do you realize that you
could've flushed your whole life

down the toilet bowl?

Oh, police told me
that the other guy

ain't gonna press charges
'cause he'd be facing a felony.

What about your Cap? And
those guys you work with?

It'll be a month of
KP and latrine duty

and then... and... I
mean, they'll get over it.

You think the only
one you're hurting

doing all this is
yourself, don't you?

Well, unless you
straighten your ass out,

you're gonna hurt
somebody real bad,

and I'm not gonna be there
to tell you it's okay.

Oh, uh, hey.

Hey, man, I think you're
in the wrong room?

JUDD: I think I got
the wrong building.

I bet neither one of us

expected to find ourselves
in the hospital today, right?

But then we both got your
dumb ass to thank for that.

All right, you
shouldn't be in here

- (moaning) If you
touch the phone,

if you cry out, I'm-a
snap your wrist.

- Okay. Okay.
- Got it?

Okay. Yes.

What's your name?

It's, uh, it's-it's Caleb.

It's C-Caleb, Caleb Wilson.

- Caleb?
- Yeah.

I heard you plowed through a
convenience store this morning.

What-what were
you gonna pick up?

What? What? What do you,
what do you mean? Uh...

You know, at the store?
They got things to buy?

- What'd you hope to buy?
- Oh, yeah, um...

- What? Baby wipes or a soda?
- Ow, ow, no.

- No, I was just, I was gonna get...
- Lotto tickets?

I was gonna get, I was just
gonna get, like, a churro.

- And a hot chocolate.
- You got a sweet tooth?

- Yeah.
- Me, too.

Let me ask you, though, Caleb.

How-how, how is it that a man

could run two people off a road,

and then just
leave them to drown

and then wake-wake up
and think to himself,

"I think I'd like a churro"?

All right, listen,
man, listen, um,

I don't even,

I don't even, like,
remember yesterday.

You know, like, the truck
or the river or-or nothing.

I'm sorry, I have a problem.
I have, I have a problem.

- You have a problem. Yeah.
- Yes, I have a problem.

- You do have a problem.

My wife Grace is the
best person I've known.

Her life's work is saving lives.

Her life's work
is saving people.

- Yeah.
- If she saved one life per shift...

And that's conservative...
Then by my estimation

she's saved , lives.

- She saved , ...
- Mm. Mm-hmm.

- If you want to count me.
- (moans)

Right? Which is a life
she's saved numerable times.

So.

If a piece of trash like
you gets to snuff her out

and live, what does that mean?

- (choking)
- What does that mean?

- What does...
- OWEN: Judd, that's enough. Let him go.

Why? This is what he deserves.

Because Gracie's awake, son.

She's awake, Judd.

And the first person
she asked for was you.

She needs you, son.

OWEN: Hey. Hey, hey. Hey.

(gasping)

Grace just saved your life, too.

She just saved your life, too.

Hey, girl.

- Hello, my love.
- Hey.

You gave us a scare
there for a minute.

going anywhere, Judd.

That's the deal, right?

That's the deal.

DOCTOR: Mrs. Ryder,
I think you might be

the most popular
patient I've ever had.

Your well-wishers are becoming
a fire hazard out in the hall.

If there's a fire,
they're who you want here.

- (Grace chuckles)
- DOCTOR: How are you feeling?

A little foggy, uh,
but just mostly tired.

That's understandable. You've
been through quite a bit.

Doc, I can't feel my legs.

DOCTOR: That's entirely normal.

But the feeling will come back.

In a few days, we'll start
talking about physical therapy.

Okay, but that's it, right?
Mend-mend a couple bones?

- She's good, that's it?
- Yes.

DOCTOR: They both seem
to be in perfect health.

You said, "they"?

DOCTOR: I did.

Mrs. Ryder, you're pregnant.

(crying)

(laughs)

Can I... can I kiss my wife?

- DOCTOR: She's your wife.
- Yes, she is. Yes, she is.

I love you, girl.

- I love you.

JUDD: She's doing good, Daddy.

She's doing real good.

STUART: Then how

(Judd whispering indistinctly)

(laughs) Oh, hell, son.

'Cause he gonna be a granddaddy.

- What?

Well, happy birthday. (Laughs)

OWEN: Congratulations.
Come on, .

Bring it in here.

- (cheering)
- (laughter)

Howdy.

You're here to see
the Vegas, I take it?

- Y... How did you know that?
- She just had twins.

Oh, the... Yes.

Well, they're not quite
ready for visitors,

but you can take a seat.

Thank you. (Clears throat)

Twins. (Exhales sharply)

- Something, huh?
- GRACE: Mm-hmm.

That's a couple of somethings.

How you been, Grace?

I've been good.

How you been?

Good. Getting by.

Tommy, uh, Tommy said
you'd didn't end up

going to Georgetown.

I told you that myself, Judd.

I guess you meant it, too.

Yeah. Guess I did.

How'd your daddy take it?

My daddy's not the
boss of me, Judd.

Right.

(Judd clears throat)

You got a tattoo.

JUDD: Uh, I did. "Psalm ."

So that, uh,

so I can remember
what really matters.

"Let me never be ashamed.

Deliver me in thy
righteousness."

That's the one.

Hmm.

(exhales sharply)

I can't say that I don't
feel ashamed, though.

Ashamed of what, Judd?

I lied to you.

I looked you in your eye,

I lied to your face.

Yeah, you did.

I wish I hadn't.

Oh, Tommy said, uh,
you got a new job?

Yeah, I did. I'm, um...

I'm training to be
a dispatcher.

Well, I think that's wonderful.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Are you seeing anyone?

(exhales)

(sighs) Uh...

Yeah, I got myself
a fella, Judd.

That's good.

Mm-hmm.

That's a lucky man.

Yeah, he is.

He's too dumb to
know it, though.

Or stubborn.

I'm not sure which.

All I know is that he hasn't
picked up a phone in six months.

CHARLES: Hey, you two.

- Oh, boy...
- (laughs): Hey.

(laughter)

Oh...

Mm.

How would you two like to come
back and meet your goddaughters?

You said our goddaughters?

So these people are using
the birth of their babies

to play matchmaker.

These people are
very, very sneaky.
