00:08To be continued...
00:45Hey, you okay?
00:53What the hell are you doing here, man?
00:56I really wish you hadn't seen...
01:10James Dean, Steve McQueen, Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper.
01:17Now you.
01:19Martin?
01:20Clark.
01:20Clark.
01:21Miska.
01:22Miska!
01:22It's check.
01:23Ah, my point is that today you're not just buying a bike, you're buying a legacy.
01:27You know, when you roll up to your, uh, medical practice...
01:31The podiatry group.
01:32Everyone in that parking lot is gonna hear this kitten purr.
01:35And you gotta admit, it's in pristine condition.
01:38Oh, it is beautiful.
01:40But is it safe?
01:42Oh, in the right hands, it's no more dangerous than an exercise bike.
01:45Really?
01:46Because my wife says motorcycles are like ten times more likely to be involved in a fatal accident.
01:51Thirty-five times, actually.
01:53That's why they call them donor cycles.
01:55Donor cycles?
01:56Yeah, like the organs, when we're able to salvage them.
01:59Oh.
02:00I see.
02:02Look, look, look.
02:03The danger is what makes it sexy.
02:06What makes you sexy on it.
02:08You know, I think I have enough danger in my life as it is.
02:12But getting rid of bunions and plantar wards?
02:15Thanks for your time.
02:19All right, Chavez.
02:20You're on toilet duty for a week.
02:22Why are you even selling the hog?
02:24I thought you loved this thing.
02:25No, a hog is specifically for Harley Davidson.
02:28This is a bobber.
02:29Okay, then why are you selling your bobber?
02:30Yeah, I thought you were like full-on fozzy now.
02:33You mean Fonzie?
02:34Fonzie was a Muppet.
02:35Anyway, my chapter on two wheels is over.
02:39It lasted all of three weeks?
02:41No, I'm just ready for a new challenge.
02:43Oh, and I have someone else, a potential buyer, coming, so shut your mouth.
02:47Okay.
02:49Now that is a fine-looking machine.
02:55Well, I can safely say that you would look smoking hot on my bobber.
03:00Oh.
03:02Captain Strand, I'm Asha Fulton.
03:04You're a department advocate from the Professional Standards Division of AFD Internal Affairs.
03:09I'm from HR.
03:11Okay, let me explain my statement about you being on my bobber.
03:15Captain Strand, I'm afraid I'm here to investigate a recent complaint.
03:19I'm going to need to speak with you in your office.
03:21So that's serious.
03:22Um, what am I being accused of?
03:25It's better we talk behind closed doors.
03:28All right.
03:29Let's get this over with.
03:34Now I'm alone with your emergency.
03:36I'm dead.
03:37I'm so dead.
03:38What's your name, sweetheart?
03:40Linus.
03:40Hi, Linus.
03:41My name is Grace.
03:42I'm going to help you, okay?
03:44Can you tell me what's wrong?
03:45Are you hurt?
03:45I'm stuck.
03:46Okay.
03:47Stuck where, baby?
03:48My tables.
03:49I can't.
03:49Letter 119, we have a minor with a possible injury.
03:53337 Clinton plays.
03:54Linus, sweetheart, did you say you were stuck under a table?
03:57No, I'm stuck on my multiplication tables.
04:00It's for homework.
04:03Oh, okay.
04:05Letter 119, cancel that.
04:07We're good.
04:09Um, Linus, you know you're only supposed to call 911 if you have an emergency.
04:14But this is an emergency.
04:16It's due tomorrow.
04:17Miss Olsen says if we don't turn in our assignments every day, we don't get to go to the pizza
04:21party.
04:21It's so close.
04:23Oh.
04:23Please help.
04:24Okay.
04:24Well, I'm sorry.
04:25I didn't realize how much was at stake.
04:27Um, what question are you stuck on?
04:307 times 7, 7 times 8, 7 times 9.
04:34I have to do all my 7s tonight.
04:36Oh, come on, Linus.
04:37The 7s are easy.
04:39No, they're not.
04:40They're impossible.
04:41Not if you know the trick.
04:42There's a trick?
04:43Mm-hmm.
04:43What trick?
04:44Do you know the happy birthday song?
04:45If you sing the answers to the 7s' Toms' Tables, it sounds just like happy birthday.
04:50That's not real.
04:53Okay.
04:547, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, and 63.
05:06That's awesome.
05:07Hang on.
05:08I have to read these down.
05:1066, 63.
05:13That's only up to 9.
05:14Oh, my God.
05:1770, 77, 84.
05:20Now I'm never going to forget them.
05:22Can I ask you one more thing?
05:24Yes.
05:24Oh, no, I don't have a song for the 8s, baby.
05:26I'm so sorry.
05:27Dang.
05:28Okay.
05:28Thank you, Miss Grace.
05:29Oh, you too, Linus.
05:31You take care.
05:33I did not know you were such a math whiz.
05:35I should have you do my taxes.
05:37Not a math whiz.
05:38Just a math fan.
05:39Bet you always got to go to the pizza parties, didn't you?
05:42Why, yes, I did.
05:43Uh-huh.
05:45Now, Momo, it's your emergency.
05:47Captain Strand, it's been said you foster a certain culture here at the 126?
05:53I'd like to think so.
05:54Can you describe it for me?
05:56Professional.
05:58Diverse and, uh, inclusion, equity, belonging, or core values.
06:03You're welcome to walk around my firehouse and see for yourself.
06:05I have, but we both know the 126 has a reputation for something else, too.
06:10Do we?
06:11A so-called cowboy culture.
06:15Yeah.
06:15Okay.
06:16I know what this is about now.
06:18You do?
06:19Yeah.
06:19I also know who sent you.
06:21And who would that be?
06:22Pierce Risher, my old paramedic.
06:25He, uh, he lodged a complaint, didn't he?
06:27Unfortunately, I can't disclose that information.
06:29Oh, well, I can disclose it.
06:31He's a disgruntled prima donna whose, uh, departure was mutual.
06:35Both times he worked here?
06:36That's right.
06:37Mm-hmm.
06:38Both times.
06:38Were any words said when he left on either occasion?
06:42Uh, I may have called him a coward.
06:45We called him that because he was a coward and a jerk,
06:48and you can write that down in a book if you want to.
06:51And now would you say name-calling is common practice in this firehouse?
06:56You must be talking about Lardass?
06:58Lardass?
06:59There was no body shaving.
07:01The man's torso was stuck in a drive-thru window.
07:03Cap got the brilliant idea to slather the man's hindquarters and rendered pig fat.
07:08There you go.
07:09Lardass.
07:14Do you happen to know this man's actual name?
07:16I would love to get a statement from him, too.
07:19No, but I'm sure you can get it from the Texas state prison system.
07:23He's in for murder.
07:24Happened right in front of me.
07:25Bam, bam!
07:26I should have seen it coming.
07:28Yeah, if Cap hadn't attacked the guy, it could have been a lot worse.
07:30Did we know each other?
07:32I don't think so.
07:37And you're sure there's been no other time you've ever heard an insult or slur directed
07:41at someone in the field?
07:42I will remind you, you may be called to testify to this.
07:45There may be one other one.
07:46It's going to sound a lot worse without the context.
07:49Try me.
07:50You call the dude a woman-beater cuck.
07:52Cuck?
07:52As in cuckold.
07:53It's like when a man's wife is, like, banging another dude.
07:56I know what a cuckold is.
07:58Owen only said that to goad the man into striking him so that the cops would have an
08:03excuse to arrest him.
08:04Bo did.
08:04I see.
08:05The guy was a total abuser, okay?
08:07He was going to hurt his wife and kids, and my dad stopped him.
08:09I really wish it hadn't come to that.
08:11He would never do something stupid like that again.
08:13Did he do something stupid like that again?
08:15Is there anything else you want to tell me?
08:17Yes, there is, actually.
08:19I've said my piece.
08:20Captain Strand rebuilt this firehouse from the studs up.
08:23Twice.
08:24No.
08:26He gets the best out of every firefighter here.
08:29No, ma'am, there's not.
08:30So whatever he's done this time, I assure you, his intentions were good.
08:35I appreciate that.
08:37I do.
08:38But this inquiry is not into your captain.
08:41Nope.
08:42So who's it about then?
08:44It's about you, firefighter.
08:48Oh, wife-o.
08:56I'm sorry.
08:57There must be some sort of mistake here.
08:59I'm like the poster child for creating a healthy workplace environment.
09:03I moved to Austin to pursue a healthy workplace environment.
09:07You really have no idea what this is about?
09:08No, hand to God.
09:10Do you recall the events of Monday, January 9th, the rescue of the mobile home?
09:15Yes.
09:15I recall being lowered from a chopper onto a house that was being driven by a deranged man
09:21down Highway 9 with his ex-wife trapped, screaming inside.
09:25According to the IR, you were the lead on extracting the wife from the home.
09:31Is that correct?
09:32Oh.
09:35Is this about the skylight?
09:36This is about what happened after the skylight.
09:38I'm here to rescue you.
09:40I am not leaving this house.
09:42I am standing my ground.
09:45Specifically when you attempted to harness Lila Gerald's, my rope work was sound.
09:51I did all my checks.
09:52She was properly clipped and clamped.
09:53This is not about your rope work.
09:55Do you remember what you said on the radio before you made egress from the residence?
09:59Uh, not word for word.
10:00Hey, Marjan, what's the holdup?
10:02Slight holdup being that she's a crazy lady, Cap!
10:05Does that sound accurate?
10:07Could have been.
10:07Can you tell me why you felt the need to use language like that?
10:10I had to compel her to move her butt.
10:12She says you made her feel unsafe.
10:15I made her feel unsafe?
10:17We were hanging from a helicopter with her husband doing 50 on the highway and I made her feel unsafe?
10:23Are you aware that crazy is considered a slur?
10:27Yes.
10:27Linus, you know from your department manual that we value the emotional well-being of the public as much as
10:33their physical well-being.
10:34We consider it the duty of a firefighter to protect both at all times to the best of their abilities.
10:40Jeopardizing either is a serious offense.
10:42So, how much trouble am I looking at here?
10:48911 was your emergency.
10:50Ms. Grace, is that you?
10:51It's me, Linus. Are you okay?
10:53Please, you have to help me.
10:56I'm in so much trouble. It's all burned.
10:59What's all burned?
11:00Mac and cheese.
11:01I thought you did everything just like my mom, but then you haven't started smoking.
11:05Okay. Is anything on fire?
11:06No, just smoke.
11:07But it's all gone now.
11:08I turned it off.
11:10Okay.
11:10Well, that's good, but you shouldn't be using the oven on your own.
11:14Did you burn yourself?
11:15No, just the casserole dish.
11:16You have to help me clean this dish.
11:18It was my great-grandma's.
11:19My mom's going to kill me if she wakes up and sees this.
11:21Linus, don't you have school today?
11:24Mom has a headache, so she said I could stay home and watch Star Wars.
11:27She's taking a nap.
11:28Mm-hmm.
11:29And does your mom take a lot of naps during the day?
11:31Maybe, I guess.
11:32When she gets her headaches.
11:33Linus, you on the phone?
11:35Who are you talking to?
11:36Uh, 911.
11:38Why are you calling 911?
11:40I burned your dish. I didn't know how to clean it.
11:42That is not something you call 911 for.
11:44You only call 911 in emergencies.
11:47Darn it, Linus, they can arrest you for that.
11:49Give me the phone.
11:50Hello?
11:50Mrs. McKinley.
11:51Hi, this is Grace Ryder from Austin Emergency Services.
11:55Don't worry, I can assure you nobody is getting arrested today.
11:58I'm so sorry. My phone knows better.
12:01He won't trouble you anymore.
12:02No, that's okay. He's no trouble at all.
12:05You have a good one, okay?
12:14She was asking me so many questions, I couldn't keep up.
12:17I mean, I don't know if I said the right answer.
12:19God, I hope I didn't say the wrong one.
12:21You told the truth, and that's all you can do.
12:23I just hope I didn't get Cap in more trouble than he's already in.
12:25Cap's not in trouble.
12:27He ain't?
12:29Uh, yeah, no, um, nothing.
12:31He's, he's clear.
12:32Oh, thank God.
12:35Well then, who got in trouble?
12:38I don't know.
12:39Oh, you know, Marsha.
12:41Marsha.
12:42Remember that lady that we had to pull out of the runaway house?
12:45Yeah, of course.
12:46You remember the moment where I called her crazy?
12:48Yeah, on the radio.
12:50I guess I triggered her.
12:51What?
12:52That's crazy.
12:53I mean, ridiculous.
12:55That's ridiculous.
12:56So what are we, uh, what are we looking at punishment-wise?
12:58She said they like to keep their options elastic until the IR board has reviewed all the facts.
13:04So, um, could be a slap on the wrist or could be worse.
13:09I mean, look, in hindsight, I had no clinical evidence to call her that.
13:13So, yeah, maybe that was wrong.
13:15Come on.
13:16I guess it only makes sense that this could ruin everything I've ever worked for in my career.
13:20Look, if I wanted to be more technically accurate, I probably should have called her a blubbering fool or a
13:24suicidal moron or an in-right.
13:26I just...
13:27Marwani.
13:27You're clamping it.
13:29The rest of you, you're officially back on shift, so get your heads right.
13:32Word, please?
13:38Look, I think you need to be very careful about what you're saying.
13:41Right now, I just don't want you to dig yourself any deeper.
13:44What, I'm not allowed to vent?
13:45I just got an HR sucker punch.
13:47It's not like the crew are gonna turn me in.
13:49No, no, I'm not worried about them.
13:50I'm just saying I think you need to assume that there are ears everywhere.
13:53Look, I've been in your exact same place.
13:55I know what you're going through.
13:57I've been in the crosshairs of HR over something stupid.
13:59Okay, well, it wasn't my exact position because I called the lady a mean name and you knocked out the
14:04deputy fire chief.
14:05Well, it's not split hairs.
14:06He wasn't the deputy fire chief when I hit him.
14:08He was the deputy fire chief elect.
14:09Ah, right.
14:10And I am the one splitting hairs.
14:12It's hard to have the sword of Damocles over your head.
14:14But the good news is that they want to see us at headquarters today.
14:19Today?
14:19How is that good news?
14:21Because it means they're not going to draw this process out.
14:23This is usually the last step.
14:24Oh, my God.
14:25I just want to crawl into a hole and hide.
14:28Why do you think I ran for the hills?
14:29I'm just saying.
14:31I got your back on this.
14:36I need you to stand down on this one.
14:38You're benching me?
14:39You're...
14:41How is that having my back?
14:43I don't want anybody in the field whose head's in the rinse cycle.
14:46I'm not good for anyone.
14:48Have a chai.
14:49Relax.
14:50Dress uniform.
14:51Five o'clock.
15:07Five o'clock.
15:21Can I help you?
15:22Oh, hi.
15:24Uh, is Captain Strand around?
15:26No, he's not.
15:28This is Firehouse, though, right?
15:30Yeah, but he's out with his team on a car right now.
15:33They left you behind?
15:36Is there something I can help you with?
15:39You're Firefox, right?
15:42Uh, yeah.
15:44I'm a big fan.
15:46I started following you on Instagram after the attack in the state capitol last year.
15:50That was you guys, right?
15:51The, uh, the 126?
15:52Well, not just us, but we were there, yeah.
15:56You all always seem to get the big ones, huh?
15:58Judging by your Instagram.
15:59Well, you know, life downtown.
16:01Never a dull moment.
16:03Well, maybe sometimes a dull moment, hey?
16:10Must be pretty rewarding, huh?
16:12Doing work that actually matters.
16:15Helping people.
16:17Yeah, it's not always an action movie, though.
16:19Yeah, I know what you mean.
16:21I'm a veteran.
16:23Army.
16:23Thank you for your service.
16:25That's why I'm here, actually.
16:27To continue being of service.
16:29Is there, like, an application I can fill out or something?
16:33Uh, we don't really have applications,
16:35but I can get you an interest card
16:38if you just hang back for a sec.
16:39That'd be great. Thank you.
16:40Yeah.
16:53This, uh, this has all the websites on it.
16:56Should help get you started.
16:57Will do. Thank you. Appreciate it.
16:59No worries.
17:05Is there something else I can help you with?
17:09No.
17:13All right, good luck.
17:15Maybe see you out there on the field one day.
17:17Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:18You just might, huh?
17:29Hey, Sarah.
17:30How's it going?
17:31Oh, city planner's killing me.
17:33He wants a new budget by Friday.
17:35And no, we don't have room for pizza parties.
17:37Oh, well, you know this room is called
17:39the break room for a reason.
17:40And yet you brought your laptop.
17:44I did.
17:44Um, there was something I wanted
17:47to talk to you about, actually.
17:48Mm-hmm.
17:49Linus McKinley, you know,
17:50the boy who called about his math homework?
17:51Mm-hmm.
17:52Well, he called again.
17:54What, he have a history quiz?
17:56No, he burned some macaroni
17:58in his great-grandmother's dish.
18:00It was in the middle of a school day, though.
18:02And his mom was asleep in the next room.
18:06I see.
18:08So what do you think?
18:12Listen.
18:139-1-1?
18:14Why are you calling 9-1-1?
18:16I burned your dish.
18:17I didn't overclean it.
18:18That is not something you call 9-1-1 for.
18:20You only call 9-1-1 in emergencies.
18:23Darn it, Linus, they can arrest you for that.
18:24Give me the phone.
18:25Hello?
18:26Mrs. McKinley, hi, this is Grace Ryder
18:28from Austin Emergency Services.
18:30Don't worry, I can assure you
18:31nobody is getting arrested today.
18:33I'm so sorry.
18:34My fun knows better.
18:36You want trouble?
18:37Did you hear that?
18:38She said, my fun knows better.
18:40Could have been a slip of the tongue.
18:42I think she's learning her words, Sarah.
18:45And I pulled her file.
18:47She got a DWI six years ago.
18:50Was the kid in the car with her?
18:51No, this was after the divorce.
18:53So according to her statement to law enforcement,
18:55she said he was at his father's.
18:57What do you suggest we do?
19:00I think we send a cruiser to the house.
19:02Maybe just for a wellness check.
19:05You could do that.
19:06Is there any reason I wouldn't?
19:08You may well be right.
19:09You usually are.
19:11But if you're wrong
19:11and you send a cop to that house,
19:13if they find so much as a pointy object on a place...
19:16They're called child services.
19:17And once they're involved,
19:19you're open to Pandora's box.
19:22This is your call to make, Grace.
19:24You have my full support.
19:25Whatever you decide.
19:28Thanks.
19:29Mm-hmm.
19:38Why do I feel like I'm going to my own funeral?
19:41Just breathe, Marwani.
19:42You'll be fine.
19:43They're totally gonna suspend me, aren't they?
19:44Look, in my experience with these things,
19:46it's best to just agree to whatever they say and move on.
19:49That's funny.
19:50I remember you doing the exact opposite last year.
19:53Yeah, I learned my lesson.
19:54And so should you.
19:55Oh, and also, don't do that.
19:56Do what?
19:57The thing where you point out the actual facts.
20:00They hate that.
20:01That is not a thing I do.
20:03Yeah, it is.
20:04More than you think.
20:04Okay, well, even if I occasionally do it,
20:06which I dispute,
20:07it's only when I'm right.
20:08They don't care who's right.
20:11So, whatever they do,
20:12whatever they say,
20:14whatever buttons they push,
20:15you need to resist the urge
20:16to say something snarky,
20:18which we both know for you
20:19is a potential growth area.
20:21Is it, though?
20:24So, just lock it up.
20:26Locking it up, Cap.
20:30They're ready for you.
20:33They're ready for us?
20:35Hmm.
20:43Just be strong, Lila.
20:45I'm right here.
20:48Captain Strand.
20:49Firefighter Marwani.
20:50You remember Mitch and Lila Gerald's?
20:53Yeah, um, I thought you two were divorced.
20:56Oh, we've decided to reconcile.
20:59If any good has come from the distress
21:01my wife has endured,
21:03it's that we're back together.
21:05Oh, well, that's good.
21:07Which is why we're not interested
21:09in destroying your life.
21:11The Gerald's feel like we can get this
21:13all resolved right here.
21:13How is he not in jail?
21:15How is he not in jail?
21:15Uh, Captain Strand.
21:16He kidnapped his wife.
21:18He illegally secured a home
21:20and drove it down two freeways
21:22without yielding to law enforcement,
21:23putting his wife, the public,
21:25and my team at risk.
21:26How's he sitting in this room?
21:27They gave me a fine.
21:28They gave you a fine?
21:29Not even traffic school?
21:31Oh, Captain Strand,
21:32that's not why we're here.
21:33That's right.
21:34The reason we're here
21:35is because of my inappropriate language.
21:37It was unprofessional
21:39and unacceptable.
21:40My job was to protect you,
21:42not insult you, Mrs. Gerald's.
21:44What I said,
21:44calling you a crazy lady,
21:46it was out of line
21:47and it was messed up.
21:48And hurtful.
21:51And hurtful.
21:52And probably a little sexist.
21:55That certainly wasn't my intent,
21:57but I am so ashamed I said it.
22:01I'm sorry, truly, Mrs. Gerald's.
22:03That was beautiful.
22:05Wasn't that beautiful?
22:06Very heartfelt.
22:07I could feel the sincerity.
22:09It's real.
22:10Good.
22:11You should do it just like that.
22:13Do what?
22:15What you just did.
22:16Apologize.
22:17I just did.
22:19The Gerald's would like you
22:21to publicly post your apology
22:23on social media.
22:25We understand you have
22:26five million followers?
22:28Firefox, right?
22:305.2 million.
22:31You want to publicly shame her?
22:33She saved your life.
22:34I don't see where the shame is
22:36unless she didn't mean it.
22:38I meant it.
22:38Great.
22:39So just do it like that
22:40and make sure to tag our GoFundMe.
22:42Your GoFundMe?
22:43For what?
22:44We lost our house in this tragedy.
22:47We're homeless now.
22:48Yes, because this maniac
22:49drove your house into an overpass.
22:52Yeah, I feel like
22:53you kind of herded me into that.
22:54I herded you.
22:55You were herded.
22:56Pat.
22:56Pat.
22:57Look, I don't really have a problem
23:00making this apology public
23:02if that's what you want.
23:04I'm just, I'm not sure
23:05I feel comfortable soliciting money
23:07from my followers.
23:09That's up to you.
23:10But if we're not a charity,
23:12we'll probably have to end up
23:14being plaintiffs.
23:15We sure would like this to be over.
23:19But it doesn't have to be.
23:27We're just simple folks
23:28with simple dreams.
23:30Of love, family,
23:31and a roof over our heads.
23:33But due to the reckless actions
23:35of law enforcement
23:36and the fire department,
23:37we lost everything.
23:39All we're asking for here
23:40is $750,000.
23:42I don't know, you guys.
23:42I don't think I can get behind this.
23:44Well, look, Marge,
23:45you don't have to get behind it, okay?
23:46You just have to tag it.
23:47It's true.
23:48One click and it's done.
23:49Tagging it is as good
23:50as endorsing everything
23:51they're saying
23:52and it's just, it's too gross.
23:53I think,
23:55I think I need to take a stand.
23:57Hell yeah, dude.
23:58Good for you.
23:59Uh, no, not good for you.
24:00And Nancy, please,
24:01do not encourage her.
24:02She refuses to do this
24:04and she's facing suspension
24:05or worse.
24:06You can't expect me
24:07to hold my nose
24:07and sign off on something
24:09that I don't believe in.
24:10Really?
24:10Because that is exactly
24:11what you asked Cap to do
24:12last year
24:13when you drove out to him
24:14in the middle of a blizzard.
24:15Yep, that's right.
24:16I mean, you signed him pretty good
24:17into signing that apology letter
24:18for punching Billy.
24:19I mean, he signed it
24:19and he wasn't even sorry.
24:21Ugh, that's the whole point.
24:22I am sorry.
24:23If this was a pure,
24:26untainted apology,
24:26I would do it in a heartbeat.
24:28Look, Marge,
24:30I get it.
24:31It sucks.
24:32But we need you
24:33in the 126.
24:35Hell, all of Austin
24:36needs you in the 126.
24:37Not as much as people
24:38need Firefox.
24:39You know, most of my followers
24:40are young people.
24:41They look up to me.
24:43Do you have any idea
24:44how often they stop me
24:45in the street
24:46just to say
24:46thank you for being
24:47who I am?
24:48And if they watch me
24:49sign off on a lie,
24:51what kind of example
24:52does that set for them?
24:53Yeah, but is it really better
24:54than watching you get fired?
24:55Honestly, I...
24:57I don't know.
25:03Can you believe Marjon
25:04got in trouble
25:05for calling a crazy lady crazy?
25:07Hmm, that's a shame.
25:09I would shudder
25:10to think about
25:10what they would have done
25:11to me and Garrity
25:12for half the stuff
25:12we said to each other
25:13back in the day.
25:14Hmm, yeah,
25:15no doubt about it.
25:19No doubt about what?
25:21Hmm?
25:22Huh?
25:23Oh, um...
25:24About what you were saying
25:25just then.
25:26Which was what, darling?
25:28Um, you were decrying
25:30the state of PC culture
25:32run amok
25:33and whatnot.
25:34And whatnot?
25:37I didn't hear
25:38what you said.
25:38Uh-huh.
25:39So maybe somebody else's
25:41gears are grinding
25:41a little bit?
25:42I mean, you've been
25:43drying that same plate
25:45for quite a spell
25:45now, Gracie.
25:46What's going on?
25:50Well, there's this boy.
25:51Mm-hmm.
25:52Sweet little boy.
25:53He keeps calling in
25:54to 911 for little stuff.
25:57Help with his math,
25:58homework,
25:59and cleaning the dishes.
26:01I should have thought
26:01of that.
26:02Stop it.
26:03I really think
26:04something might be
26:05going on at home.
26:07Like something bad.
26:09But if I'm wrong
26:10and I send a cop
26:11over there,
26:12then they could take
26:13that boy from his mom.
26:15That's scary.
26:16Yeah.
26:17It is scary,
26:18but it's not as scary
26:19as me being right
26:20and then not doing anything.
26:22And then not knowing
26:23is...
26:24That's what's bothering me.
26:25Well, it sounds like
26:26you need to find out.
26:29You know, it does.
26:30It does sound like that.
26:31Thank you so much,
26:32my sweet husband.
26:33How do you suggest
26:34I go about doing that?
26:36I imagine you have
26:37this boy's address, yes?
26:39Mm-hmm.
26:40Mm-hmm.
26:40Okay.
26:40So why don't you go
26:41knock on the door,
26:42find out for yourself,
26:43and if you're wrong,
26:44there's no harm,
26:45no foul.
26:47Oh, you mean now?
26:48Mm-hmm.
26:49Well, what about Charlie?
26:50It's past her bedtime.
26:51Well, she sleeps better
26:52in the car anyway.
26:53Come on, mama.
26:55Let's go.
27:07Have I officially
27:08gone off the deep end
27:09doing this?
27:10Sweetheart,
27:10you are the best
27:11in the world
27:11at what you do.
27:13If ain't nothing going on,
27:14then no big deal.
27:16Okay.
27:18I appreciate you saying it.
27:19I need to hear it.
27:20All right, let's go.
27:21Uh, no, not you.
27:23Y'all stay here, okay?
27:24I'll be back.
27:25What?
27:26The last thing
27:27this boy needs
27:27is a big scary man
27:28showing up on his porch.
27:30I'm a big scary man?
27:31You are a little scary, Chuck.
27:33Just a little bit.
27:33Stay here, okay?
27:34I'll be back.
27:35Uh-huh.
27:40You think I'm scary?
27:42Hmm?
27:50Is somebody out there?
27:53Yeah, hey, Linus.
27:55Um, it's Grace
27:56from 911.
27:58Miss Grace!
28:01Hi.
28:02You're so pretty.
28:03I thought you'd be old.
28:05Linus,
28:05where are you, baby?
28:06I'm at the door, mom.
28:08You should be
28:08blushing your teeth.
28:10Mom!
28:11Ma'am?
28:12Ma'am, this is Grace Ryder
28:14from Austin Emergency.
28:15Mom!
28:15Ma'am, is it okay
28:16if I come in the house?
28:18Please, you have to help her.
28:21Chuck for it, mama.
28:22Oh, that's cold.
28:24You know what?
28:24You guys are little,
28:25little crazy eights assassins
28:27is what you are.
28:28Oh, saved by the power.
28:31Hey, Gracie.
28:32Hey, did you teach my girls
28:33how to card shark
28:34the last time you were here?
28:36Tommy, I need your help.
28:38Are you okay?
28:39Listen, I'm with a woman.
28:40She's 30-something female.
28:42She was stumbling
28:42and she was slurring her words
28:43and she's unconscious now.
28:45Sharon?
28:45Sharon, I need you to wake up.
28:46Gracie, where are you?
28:47I'm in her house.
28:48It's a single-family residence
28:50in Crestview.
28:50Why aren't you calling 911?
28:52I did, but they're 12 minutes out.
28:53You said that she was disoriented
28:55and slurring her words.
28:56Could it be an OD?
28:57No.
28:58Her son says she was clean and sober.
29:00I don't see any alcohol
29:01or paraphernalia around.
29:02What else do you know
29:03about her medical history?
29:03I don't know anything.
29:05She's a stranger.
29:06I know she's been having headaches.
29:08Sharon.
29:09I need you to wake up.
29:10Gracie.
29:10Gracie, I need you
29:11to stay with me, okay?
29:12Tell me about her pupillary response.
29:14Her pupillary response?
29:15Yes.
29:15Are they contracting or dilating?
29:17T, she's unconscious.
29:18I told you.
29:18Okay, you can still do it.
29:20It's no big deal.
29:21No, it's not a big deal for you
29:22because you're a paramedic.
29:24I'm a dispatcher
29:24and I don't know what I'm doing
29:25so I need you to walk me through it.
29:27Gracie.
29:28I need you to take a deep breath.
29:30Okay, I am right here with you.
29:31Is she still breathing?
29:35Yeah, she's breathing.
29:36Now, I need you to take your phone
29:38and turn on the flashlight function.
29:40All right, it's on.
29:41Okay, good.
29:42Take your fingers,
29:43lift each one of her eyelids,
29:44shine the light,
29:45tell me what her pupils are doing.
29:47All right, her right,
29:47I'll contract it normally.
29:48All right, the left?
29:52No, it's not contracting.
29:54Okay, Gracie,
29:55she's having a stroke.
29:56Oh, God.
29:57It's okay.
29:58You got this.
29:59Can you get her into the car?
30:00I can.
30:00Judd is here,
30:01but shouldn't we wait for the ambulance?
30:02It's faster if y'all take her there yourselves.
30:05With a stroke,
30:06time is brain.
30:08Gracie,
30:08can you do this?
30:10Yeah.
30:10Yeah, we're on our way.
30:12Gracia, I'll get in the back seat.
30:13I'm gonna lock her up in front.
30:14Okay.
30:16Linus, come on, baby.
30:17You're with me.
30:24All right, let's go.
30:33Hey, Linus.
30:35Do you like candy bars?
30:36Yeah.
30:37Yeah, what's your favorite kind?
30:38I like all of them,
30:40except the kind of coconut.
30:41Me too.
30:42I hate the ones with coconut.
30:43When I came in here,
30:45I seen a vending machine.
30:46It looked like it had candy bars
30:47about the size of your arm.
30:49We'll see if we go wrestle one up.
30:51Does that sound like something you want to do?
30:54Let's go.
30:55You ever want anything?
30:56Mm-hmm.
30:57Okay, babe.
30:58How you holding up?
31:00Asked me when his mommy is out of surgery.
31:03Before you got here,
31:03the doctor said that all the headaches
31:05that she'd been having up until now
31:07were probably many strokes
31:09just leading up to the main event.
31:11It's a good thing you were there tonight.
31:13It's a good thing you were there tonight, Tommy,
31:15when I called you.
31:16Anytime.
31:18I'm sorry,
31:20but I bit your head off tonight.
31:22You did not bite my head off.
31:24No.
31:25Well, okay.
31:27Yes.
31:27Just a little nibble.
31:29I'm sorry.
31:33It's just, it's so different
31:36being on the other side of the call.
31:39When I got my headset in,
31:41like, I guess,
31:42in front of the screen,
31:43at least,
31:44I feel some sense of...
31:47Control.
31:47Yeah.
31:48But when it's just all there
31:50in front of you,
31:51you feel completely...
31:52Out of control.
31:54I don't know how you do it.
31:55You know this.
31:57I never walk into a situation blind, either.
32:00I have a great dispatcher
32:01who is prepping me
32:02on what I'm up against.
32:06Either way,
32:07I really do appreciate you.
32:10Anytime.
32:10Anytime.
32:12And always.
32:14So, listen.
32:15Are you gonna tell me
32:16what the hell you were doing
32:17in that woman's house?
32:18Oh, God.
32:19I'm gonna tell you tomorrow, okay?
32:20I promise.
32:21I promise.
32:22I'm looking for Grace Ryder.
32:25Is his mom gonna be okay?
32:27We were able to remove the clot
32:28and repair the artery.
32:29What about brain damage?
32:30We were able to restore blood flow
32:32before there was
32:33any permanent tissue destruction.
32:34I'm confident
32:35she'll make a full recovery.
32:36Thank God.
32:37She's very lucky
32:38you got her here
32:38in the golden hour.
32:40If it had been 20 minutes later,
32:42it would have been
32:42a different story.
32:43We're moving her
32:44to recovery now.
32:45Her son should be able
32:46to see her in a few hours.
32:47Thank you, Dom.
32:50How about that?
32:56Hardwood's all original,
32:58exposed brick,
32:59and just a stumble
33:00and a bumble
33:00from 6th Street.
33:01It's nice.
33:03It'll be a lot better
33:04than nice
33:05when the reno is done.
33:07You won't buy anything
33:08like it for $4,800,
33:09not with this
33:10own parking space.
33:13You married,
33:14Mr. Smith?
33:15Yeah.
33:17Any kids?
33:19Yeah, I have a son.
33:20He's six.
33:21Oh, I apologize.
33:23Would you excuse me?
33:26Hello?
33:27Yes.
33:28Mm-hmm.
33:30Full disclosure,
33:31I'm showing it now.
33:32But if it's still available,
33:34I can do...
33:349-15?
33:36Okay.
33:37See you then.
33:40So what do you say?
33:41Should I cancel my 9-15?
33:43It's tempting,
33:45but I think $4,800
33:46is a little too rich
33:47for my blood,
33:47but I appreciate your time.
33:49Uh, no worries.
33:50I'll show you out.
33:599-1-1,
34:00what's your emergency?
34:01My whole building's on fire.
34:02Help!
34:03Help!
34:05Help!
34:10Help!
34:11All right, Judd,
34:12you're swinging the ladder
34:12up to the building.
34:13Marwani, Strickland,
34:15you're going up.
34:15Everybody else
34:16put a supply line.
34:17Hey, y'all be quick
34:18on your toes, too.
34:19This looks like
34:19it's going to flash over
34:20any minute.
34:21Yeah, that is
34:21one hungry beast.
34:22Yeah, a little too hungry.
34:24Yep.
34:26Help!
34:27We need help!
34:28Is there anyone else
34:29up there?
34:30My name is Blake!
34:31We can't get out!
34:35Stay where you are!
34:36Stay where you are!
34:41Engine 126,
34:42I have a caller
34:43on the line
34:43reporting additional
34:44planes on the
34:45south end of the structure.
34:46Road closures
34:47going up at
34:47South Avenue
34:48and First Street.
34:49126 be advised.
34:50Backup units are en route.
34:52EMS 115 tracking
34:53in four minutes out.
34:54Permanent in place.
34:55All PD traffic
34:56switched to Tax-7.
34:59Mom!
35:00We're back here!
35:02Blake, we have to go!
35:03Oh, I can't.
35:05He won't let go.
35:06He's too secure.
35:07Come here.
35:08Ma'am, ma'am.
35:09Why don't you come
35:09with me, okay?
35:10I'll get you to the ladder
35:11and our friend will take you
35:12the rest of the way down.
35:13All right?
35:14Sir?
35:15I need you to come
35:16with me, okay?
35:16No, no, I can't.
35:17The whole building's
35:18about to go.
35:19We have to evacuate now.
35:20No, no, no!
35:21Don't touch me!
35:22Don't touch me!
35:22Sir, I'm ordering you
35:23to let go and come with me.
35:25I can't.
35:26I can't do heights.
35:27I'd rather die.
35:29Or why do you copy?
35:30Copy, Cap!
35:31What the hell's going on up there?
35:32The whole place
35:33is about to flash over.
35:34It's just that the occupant's
35:36being a little...
35:37Um, the occupant
35:38has very strong
35:40reservations
35:41about leaving.
35:42Reservations?
35:42Get the hell out of there!
35:43Sir, look,
35:45I know you're afraid,
35:46but I-I-I need you
35:47to be reasonable, please!
35:49Yo, just leave me.
35:50Hey, you!
35:51We ain't waiting.
35:52What?
35:54Marjan, grab him!
35:55Let's go!
35:56Mars, we gotta go!
35:57Now!
36:04Well, unless you guys
36:05have any questions,
36:06I think that about sums it up.
36:07I'll see you guys
36:07back at the office.
36:08Okay, I'm gonna stick around
36:09and type up my notes.
36:15Miss Fulton?
36:17You got a minute?
36:18Uh, that's a bit presumptuous.
36:20Oh, look, I apologize
36:22for the drop-in,
36:22but I really feel like
36:23this can't wait.
36:24I meant that you called me Miss.
36:25How do you know
36:26it's not Mrs.?
36:27Well, you wear a ring
36:28on your right ring finger,
36:29but your left pointer,
36:29and another one
36:30on your right thumb,
36:31but there's no metal
36:32where the wedding band goes.
36:35Are you able to look
36:37through solid objects,
36:39firefighter?
36:39No, I noticed
36:40in our first interview.
36:41I noticed things.
36:42Huh.
36:43Must come in handy
36:44in the field.
36:45Yeah, from time to time.
36:47Hey, did you go
36:48to Bishop Cross
36:49in Round Rock?
36:51No.
36:52Texas A&M, maybe?
36:54No.
36:55God, it's killing me.
36:56I know I know you
36:56from somewhere.
36:57I bet I know what it is.
36:59Fox 11 did a segment
36:59on me last year
37:00after the blizzard.
37:01I saved a local girl,
37:02got trapped in the gym,
37:03and the morning guy
37:04said I was the hero
37:05on fire and ice,
37:06which is kind of dumb,
37:06but I...
37:07Yeah, that's not it.
37:08Okay, I'd love
37:09to stand here
37:10and throw darts
37:10at the wall all day,
37:11but...
37:11But you want to talk
37:12about your friend Marwani?
37:14My best friend.
37:15Look, I'm sorry,
37:16but I'm not at liberty
37:17to discuss an investigation
37:19of an ongoing complaint.
37:21I don't want to discuss
37:21that complaint.
37:22I'm here to file a new one.
37:23Oh?
37:24Yeah, what the department
37:24is asking of Marjana,
37:25demanding,
37:26it's not an apology.
37:28It's extortion.
37:29I think that's
37:30a slight exaggeration.
37:31No, it is a money grab,
37:32pure and simple.
37:33Marwani is the best firefighter
37:35I have ever served with,
37:37going back to my probie days
37:38in Chicago.
37:40And I can see
37:41by the look in your eye
37:42that you know
37:43that this is some bull.
37:44Well, you are
37:45observant firefighter.
37:46I will give you that.
37:47I'm begging you.
37:49Please,
37:50do the right thing
37:51and stop this.
37:53All right,
37:53I'm gonna put my tablet
37:55down on the table here
37:56while I check my phone,
37:57and, um,
37:59there's no telling
38:00what such an observant fellow
38:01like yourself
38:01might observe.
38:03What is this?
38:04I'm sorry,
38:05I am not at liberty
38:06to discuss
38:06the confidential email
38:08that I wrote to
38:08the AFD this morning.
38:13Firefighter Marwani
38:14represents every ideal
38:15the AFD stands for.
38:17It's my recommendation
38:18that the department
38:18deem her previous apology
38:19sufficient
38:20and close the matter
38:21without further reprimand.
38:23You wrote this?
38:24This is amazing!
38:26I wouldn't get too excited.
38:28My phone rang
38:29about five minutes
38:29after I hit send.
38:30The chief said
38:31they have no interest
38:32in a lawsuit
38:33with the Gerald's.
38:35So Marwani does
38:36the public mea culpa
38:37and tags the site,
38:38or they throw it
38:39at the wolves.
38:41Oh.
38:42Yeah,
38:43I'm truly sorry.
38:45Well,
38:45I, um,
38:47I appreciate you
38:47going to bat for her.
38:48Please wish her luck
38:49whatever she decides.
38:54I got it.
38:55Were you in
38:56Mrs. Templeton's
38:57sixth grade class?
38:58Hidden Oaks?
39:00Yeah?
39:01I knew I recognized you.
39:03Wait, man,
39:03you were there?
39:04In Chicago?
39:06That's funny,
39:07because I don't remember
39:07an Asha.
39:08It's my middle name.
39:09Do you remember
39:10a Jasmine?
39:11Who moved
39:11in seventh grade?
39:12To Texas,
39:13where I started
39:14going by Asha.
39:17Went through a little
39:17identity thing
39:18as a tween.
39:20Yeah, I get that.
39:21But wait,
39:22how the heck
39:23do you recognize me?
39:24Please,
39:24smile like that.
39:25You don't forget.
39:27You haven't changed
39:28a bit.
39:29Huh.
39:33Hey,
39:34Firefox here.
39:36You guys know
39:37I've always been
39:38about making people
39:39feel seen,
39:40heard,
39:40and safe.
39:42Well,
39:42recently,
39:43I let you guys down.
39:44I screwed up.
39:46In the heat
39:47of a dangerous
39:47situation,
39:48I called a woman
39:49crazy.
39:50Her name is
39:51Lila Gerald's,
39:52and she deserved
39:52so much better
39:53than that.
39:54So for that,
39:55Lila,
39:56I'm sorry.
39:57I should never
39:57have called you crazy.
39:59I should have called
40:00you a greedy opportunist.
40:02With the full blessing
40:03of the AFD,
40:04Lila and her husband
40:06tried to coerce me
40:07to cash in on you guys.
40:08I can't work
40:09for a place
40:10that forces me
40:11to compromise
40:11my integrity,
40:13that makes me feel
40:14unsafe for being
40:15who I am.
40:16And if I don't feel safe,
40:18there is no way
40:19of keeping you safe
40:20when I am sent
40:21to save you.
40:22So,
40:23effective immediately,
40:25I hereby am
40:26resigning from
40:27the AFD.
40:29Nope.
40:30You cannot post that.
40:31I already did.
40:33Momana,
40:34you can't unring
40:34that bell.
40:35I don't want
40:35to unring it, Cap.
40:37For the first time,
40:38I froze up in the field,
40:39not because I was
40:40afraid of the danger,
40:41but because I was
40:42afraid of doing it wrong.
40:43The people in those
40:44tribunals,
40:44in their conference rooms,
40:46they will never
40:46understand what we do
40:47here.
40:47So you can't let
40:48them get to you.
40:49That's the problem.
40:50They've already
40:51gotten to me.
40:52Cap, you have to
40:53understand,
40:53I would gladly walk
40:55into fire for you,
40:56but I can't do it
40:57on eggshells.
40:58Well, obviously,
40:59you have to do
40:59what you think is right,
41:00but I am so mad
41:02at you right now,
41:03Marwani.
41:03I'm sorry you feel
41:05that way.
41:05And I think
41:06you're crazy.
41:06Hey.
41:07But more than
41:08anything,
41:10I'm so proud
41:11of you.
41:16Understand if you
41:17want to think about it,
41:18yeah, it's a work
41:19of art,
41:19but it's also not
41:20exactly fuel efficient
41:21and the throttle
41:23sticks low.
41:24I already bought
41:24the helmet
41:25in this cool jacket.
41:26It is a sick jacket.
41:28All right,
41:28then.
41:28You better treat her
41:29well.
41:30She's very important
41:30to me.
41:31I will, Cap.
41:32I was talking
41:33to the bike.
41:35Don't make me cry,
41:37Cap.
41:39As long as I'm here,
41:40your spot will be safe.
41:44Captain Vega?
41:46Tommy.
41:47And this isn't goodbye.
41:55All who wonder
41:56are not lost.
41:59Me and Gracie
42:00will be praying for you.
42:00I'll be praying
42:01for you, too.
42:04TK,
42:06I promise
42:07no matter what happens,
42:08I will be back
42:09for the wedding.
42:10Better,
42:10because Carlos
42:11will hunt you down.
42:16Hey,
42:17and I want you
42:17to check in every day
42:18about where you're going
42:18and where you're staying.
42:20Would you stop
42:20being such a dad?
42:21But seriously,
42:22you get drowsy,
42:23you pull off the road.
42:24You understand?
42:25I will.
42:37I love you, Marshal.
42:39Me too, buddy.
42:46All right.
42:48Peace.
43:05Talk about riding
43:06into the sunset.
43:07Just when I thought
43:08she couldn't be
43:09any more badass.
43:11That's Marjan for you.
43:14Maybe I need to buy
43:15another break.
