Griffin here.
Found a van up on Black Creek Road.

Hey, honey.

Have you seen my slow tea infuser?

Can't find it anywhere.

The otter one?

It's a sloth.

Buttercup ate it.

He did? That rascal.

Hey, uh, where's Dad?

I have no idea.

Work, probably.

No, he...

Ah, the storm must have passed.

(HIGH-PITCHED TRILLING)

You hear that?

Hear what?

Nothing, I guess.

MOM: Sit down. Have some tea.

So... when did you get in?

Just now. I flew in as soon as I heard

about your latest little stint
in the hospital.

You know you're in there
so often, you oughta enroll

in some sort of rewards program.

- I was in the hospital?
- You don't remember?

Not really.

Hey, did you bring the baby?

Not this time.

Jonah's back in New York with Enzo.

That's too bad.

So what's he getting into lately?

Jonah, not Enzo.

- Strained pears.
- Hmm.

And he recently discovered
his reflection.

So that's all the rage right now.

Well, at least he's adorable,
so he's got that going for him.

That's because he takes

Hey, are we gonna make cookies?

Remember how much fun we had

Of course, I remember.

I mean, we won't know how bad

Well, you don't know till you know.

And you gotta keep the faith, Tommy.

Hmm.

With God, all things.

Right.

You're right.

You're right, and I'm, I'm trying.

I am, but...

yeah.

Keepin' the faith.

Wow, I don't think I've ever
heard the call center

being this quiet.

- Me either.
- Mm.

But cell service is down
across most of the state.

So, this is the sound
of people needing help

and not being able to get it.

That's not a very peaceful
thought, is it?

GRACE: No, it's not, actually.

Tell me what you're doing here.

You should go home and hug your kids.

How can I, Grace?

When because of me,
someone's kid is dying

in a hospital bed right now.

Because of you...

a little boy gets to go home,
hug his mom.

- You saved him.
- Mm-mm, no.

TK saved him.

And I never should've
let him go in there.

We should have waited for backup.

You and I both know
no backup was comin'.

Well, if anyone should have
gone into that pond,

it should have been me.

You, with all the ice rescues

you've performed over the years?

That doesn't matter. I was his captain.

You still are his captain.

If you gave TK a choice right now,

his life or that little boy's,

he would do the same thing
a thousand times over

to keep that family whole.

Now how am I supposed to face Owen

when he walks through
those hospital doors, Gracie?

Has anyone been able to reach him?

TOMMY: Everything's
been going to voice mail.

Like you said, the phones are down.

He was there for me
on the worst day of my life.

And you're gonna be there for him.

Yeah, the only difference is that...

I caused his.

Huh? Huh?

Morning, sunshine.

You don't look like
you have a concussion,

but if your forehead
feels anything like mine, good.

We got a long journey ahead of us.

Probably best to hydrate.

Suit yourself.

All right, everybody, let's go!

Now he has frostbite. He can't walk.

Okay. Um, have some of the men

Oye! What are you gonna do with that?

Gonna use it as a sled...

One, two, three.

...for anybody who can't walk.

You know, this guy's cartel friends

are on their way here as we speak.

They catch us, they k*ll us. Or worse.

All the reason we can't
stand around and argue about it.

I hate to say this,
but he's gonna slow us down.

We can't save everybody.

Yeah, it's a lesson
I never seem to learn.

We're not leaving anybody behind.

Even him, huh?

I'm not leaving him here to die.

Also, he knows where the cabin is.

Another reason to keep him with us.

Elena! (SPEAKING SPANISH) _

OWEN: Hey,
you even know where you're going?

I got food, heat, water,
less than two miles to my cabin.

not if the cartel hunts you down

Ohh!

JUDD: How you feelin'?

Well, my core temp's
still a balmy degrees,

Alright, stop. Whatever, man.

Hey, so what happened with Marjan?

Did she get Cap to finally sign
that apology letter to Billy?

Remains to be seen.

Oh, is he still being stubborn?

No, we just ain't heard from her.

- PAUL: Really?
- Yeah.

Feels like she would have
checked in by now.

Cell service is out.
I mean, I'm sure her and Cap

are riding out the storm
together right now.

JUDD: God help the man

if he don't sign that letter
before he walks out of there.

Knowing Marj, if he doesn't sign,

he's not walking out at all.

- Pow!
- Right in the kisser!

Honey, you didn't even
give him a chance to answer.

COLE: Neither did you, dear.

All right, please forgive my husband.

He's a little overeager today.

No worries, ma'am.
It's nice to see you guys in here.

COLE: Good to see you.

You guys are so embarrassing!

Sorry, Paul, my parents insisted

on bringing by a few gifts to thank you.

Nah, it's okay.

Guys, you-you really
didn't have to do all this.

COLE: Please.

You saved our daughter's life.

It's the least we could do.

Here, open this one first.

- It is a lambswool throw.
- Oh.

COLE: What?

He's recovering from hypothermia.

He can open his Rolexes later.

Uh, did he just say Rolexes with an "S"?

- COLE: Try this.
- Yeah, I think he did.

COLE: This is the warmest blanket

this side of the Siberian tundra.

Oh, my God, Dad.

Again, Paul, I'm so sorry.

- It's...
- COLE: You don't like it? Is it the color?

If you don't like the color, we can
get you a new one on special order.

MATEO: Just say you like it, Paul,

that way they don't
have to k*ll another lamb.

- It's good.
- No, they don't have to k*ll a lamb,

they just shave it bare.

MATEO: Oh, then it's good then.

Oh, soft...

Seriously, it's
a very lovely blanket, but...

You're too generous.

COLE: No, we're just getting started.

Would you like a Maserati?

(MATEO AND JUDD LAUGHING)

Maserati.

(LAUGHING CONTINUES)

Wait, I'm sorry, what?

A car, I'd like to get you a car.

Unless you'd prefer a truck.

What...

No... No, no.

I couldn't possibly accept it.
That's too much.

I could. You know,
we were at the rescue too.

Lindsey, remember us?
We were the ones with the jackhammers?

Oh, forgive me, let me get your names.

- Matteo Chavez. C-H-A-V...
- We're okay.

Actually, we're all right.

Thank you very much, but, uh,

the reward of being a
firefighter's in the job itself.

COLE: I respect that.

I feel the same way about my work.

- What's your line of work?
- Milk cartons.

What, you could afford all
this swag from selling milk?

Not the milk. Just the cartons.

- Milk cartons.
- Wow.

JUDD: What a world.

MATEO: Wow.

That's not another opinion.
That's your opinion.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

- Marcos?
- MARCOS: Mom?

- (ELENA CRYING)
- Mom!

ELENA: Aye, Dios mio. Mijitos!

SADIE: Her sons.

She told me she hasn't
seen them in over years.

(ELENA CRYING, LAUGHING)

(ELENA CONTINUES CRYING)

It's amazing what can happen

when a family never stops
fighting for each other.

That was subtle.

(LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING)

(GRACE SIGHS)

GRACE: Oh, come on.

Lord, please, I just need one bar

to call my husband, please, Lord.

Ah, well, the cell towers
are down all across the city.

Billy, why are you here still?

Uh, your water just broke?

- We've gotta get you to the hospital.
- No.

There is no we. Do you wanna
make yourself useful?

Go down to the station house

and please tell my husband
to meet me at the hospital.

BILLY: How are you
planning on gettin' there?

I've been driving since I was , Billy.

I think I got it.

You're gonna drive yourself,
in this weather?

GRACE: Okay.

- Grace...
- (GROANS)

At least take a sandwich with you.

GRACE: I hate Muenster.

(WIND WHISTLING)

BILLY: Hey, Grace.

Would you just hang on a damn minute?

Think about what you're doing, okay?

GRACE: Billy, close that door.

You're officially trespassing now.

Grace, you're in active labor, okay?

You can't be driving yourself
to the hospital.

Watch me.

This thing even have four-wheel drive?

Look, my truck's right there.

Billy, I wouldn't get in your truck

if it was the last ride out of hell.

Now you might wanna step back.

You think I'm gonna tell Judd
I let you roll solo

into a damned white-out?

GRACE: What are you doing?

You ain't the only crazy one.

You're driving, I'm riding shotgun.

WOMAN (OVER RADIO):
And bundle up, Austin.

No matter how frosty it gets,
we keep it hot on . .

- (MARJAN CLICKS TONGUE)
- Up next,

the OG heartbreaker himself.

- So how do you wanna do this?
- Do what?

We could drive straight to headquarters

and you can deliver
your letter of apology

to Billy and be reinstated,

or we could drop the doggy home first.

What makes you think I'm going back?

Well, because we're going back,
for instance?

No, no, no. You're going back.

But you packed up all your stuff.

Yes, because I need to stay mobile,

but I don't know what I'm doing yet,

except giving you a ride back to town.

Ah. That's it?

You helped me out.
I'm very appreciative.

And I'm gonna make sure
you get home safely.

Hmm. And by "helped you,"

you mean saved you from being m*rder*d?

Yeah.

Hmm.

In which case, I think you owe me

more than just a ride.

Cap, you need to sign
that damn apology letter

so that you can become our cap again,
like we talked about.

Like you talked about.
I didn't say anything except no.

Pretty sure I said no.

Oh, my God. You are so stubborn.

The universe is shouting in your ear

and you can't hear a thing.

Well, I hear something. I hear Tom.

("BREAKDOWN" BY TOM PETTY PLAYING)

MARJAN: I'm still mad at you.

DR. PATEL: We managed to
get his heart back into rhythm.

Okay, well, that's good news, right?

DR. PATEL: But his body
is still not compensating.

Compensating for what?

TOMMY: It means his vital
signs haven't returned to normal.

Yet.

DR.
PATEL: He's been through a major trauma.

I'm afraid he's on the verge
of multi-system organ failure.

How do you stop that from happening?

Unfortunately,
there's not much we can do

other than keep him sedated
at this point.

It gives his body a chance to recover

without additional stress.

CARLOS: Does that usually work...

for someone in his condition?

It can.

It can.

But realistically speaking,
what are we looking at here?

We're watching his labs closely,

but if they continue trending down...

We could lose him.

DR. PATEL: I'm sorry
I don't have better news.

NANCY: Tranquilo. Okay?

TOMMY: We're just...

We're just gonna keep on praying, okay?

Yeah.

And one thing we know about TK,

the kid does not know how to stay down.

She's right about that.

I think I need to get some fresh air.

- You want someone to come with?
- No.

I think I need to be alone...

for a minute. Thanks.

This sucks.

Yeah. Yeah, it really does.

BILLY: Yeah,
you might wanna ease up just a skosh.

Conditions being what they are.

Billy, if you keep talking,

you're gonna be walking
in these conditions.

Reckon nobody likes a backseat driver.

No. Be quiet!

BILLY: Uh...

What you said about it chafing me to

watch Strand run the so well, I...

I suppose there's some truth to that.

Well, at least you can admit it, Billy.

BILLY: I do think about 'em.

Judd and...

all my fallen brothers from the .

I see their faces every night.

Never stop thinking about 'em.

(WINCES, GROANS)

(SHOUTING)

Hey, hey, hey. You okay?

- (GROANS)
- Here, squeeze my hand.

- Don't-don't touch me.
- Squeeze my hand.

Don't touch me, Billy. Are we clear?

You are not a friend.
You are not family.

You are a man who jumped in my car.

- Are we clear?
- Yeah.

(SIGHS)

What is this?

BILLY: They look abandoned.

Folks must have bailed
when the storm hit.

Um, it's-it's okay.

- We can just double back, take Mopac.
- Mm-mmm

BILLY: Get to the
hospital from Birchwood.

That's gonna take too long, Billy.

I'm going around.

- (THUDS)
- Ah... (GASPS)

Put it in reverse.

That's it, nice and easy.

Ugh! No.

Damn it!

(SIGHS)

We're stuck.
