00:02Dermatomyositis.
00:03Is it as scary as it sounds?
00:05It's an autoimmune disease.
00:07It causes this rash on my hands,
00:09and it attacks muscles,
00:11so I'll get tired more easily.
00:14Now, we want to be up front with you, too.
00:16This can't get serious.
00:18But we're not gonna let it.
00:19No, we're not.
00:21So there's a cure?
00:23No, but there's treatments,
00:25and I've already started medications.
00:27Now, that's the easy part.
00:29For the rest, we're gonna need some help.
00:32Okay?
00:34We're in.
00:35Tell us what you need.
00:39Well, first, there's diet.
00:42No artificial colors,
00:44no high-fructose corn syrup,
00:46no gluten.
00:47No, fine.
00:48Avocados are fun.
00:49Leafy greens are fun.
00:50We got cashew butter, sun butter,
00:52and your omega-3s are gonna be off the chart.
00:55Salmon, cod, herring.
00:57Can't you just make me like a pumpkin loaf?
00:59Also, exercise is key.
01:00With muscle tone, you use it or you lose it.
01:03We're gonna maintain your flexibility,
01:05range of motion, and balance.
01:07So you're turning Buck's backyard into a yoga studio.
01:10Not yoga.
01:11Samba.
01:13Samba?
01:13Some patients have a hard time swallowing
01:16and get vocal problems.
01:20What the hell is that?
01:21It's called a trill,
01:23and I know that it sounds weird,
01:24but it helped me when I lost my voice.
01:26Trilling fix it?
01:27It didn't hurt.
01:28Dexterity is huge.
01:30Flare-ups make my hands weak,
01:32so I've gotta stay nimble.
01:33One, two, three, four.
01:36I declare thumb war.
01:38Got you high.
01:39Come on.
01:40Ah!
01:41We're gonna throw the kitchen sink at this thing.
01:44There's no such thing as a bad idea.
01:48And you got this idea from TikTok.
01:50Apparently, it works wonders for lymphatic drainage.
01:53You first.
01:54This isn't just my fight.
01:56It's the whole family's fight.
01:58This one right here.
02:01Nobody said you couldn't have fun.
02:03You know how this came in, right?
02:05Back.
02:06Forward.
02:07Back.
02:11Dare I ask what's in it?
02:13Mostly sorgates.
02:17Oh, yeah.
02:19Oh, yeah.
02:20One, two, three.
02:23Now you're counting.
02:24Slow and steady.
02:26Steady is the hard part.
02:28You got a hen.
02:33Like a horse.
02:36One, two, three.
02:39Wait till you try this.
02:44Ready to fry.
02:46Like Superman.
02:48Super hen.
02:49Boney goes over the log and through the hutch.
02:52Come on, damn rabbit.
02:58We all need somebody to leave.
03:01Ooh, hey, hey.
03:03Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:07Done.
03:08How are those lymphs?
03:09I think it's working.
03:16Oh, my God.
03:18How do you like me now?
03:19However long it takes,
03:20we're gonna keep this thing fucked.
03:23You got this, Lana.
03:26We've got this.
03:29You have to go.
03:32You have to go.
03:33You have to go.
03:34You have to go.
03:48You have to go.
03:50No.
03:51No.
03:52I got it.
03:56I got it.
03:57I got it.
04:07You have to go.
04:10You have to go.
04:13Ooh.
04:22What?
04:28Hey, what the hell's going on?
04:31Come on.
04:32What's the deal? Let's go.
04:34What is this guy doing?
04:36Ordering cluck-cluck combos for a small village?
04:38Come here. It's a move, Ed.
04:40I got it. I got it.
04:41Get out of here, jackass, to move.
04:44Hey, just grab it.
04:47Is there a problem here?
04:49Oh, that's why you haven't ordered yet.
04:51Texter! We've got a texter!
04:54No one's asked for my order yet.
04:57Hello? Hello?
05:02Is nobody working today?
05:07Where is everybody?
05:10Hello? Hello?
05:14Oh.
05:18Oh, my God.
05:279-1-1. What's your emergency?
05:29Clocking Plex is seizing up.
05:40Dispatch, this is Captain 118.
05:42We're going to need backup RA units.
05:43Copy 118. En route.
05:45I'm counting eight.
05:48Oh, 12 people.
05:50Buck, get me readings on oxygen, carbon monoxide, smoke, everything.
05:54Even spilt cleaning products.
05:55Roll everyone on their side.
05:57No fingers and mouths unless you're looking to lose them.
05:59Dispatch, what's our ETA on those RA units?
06:02We really could use some extra hands here.
06:03I have two additional units six minutes out.
06:06No sign of any leaks.
06:08Building's all clear.
06:09So what the hell is this?
06:13Captain 118.
06:14Go for 118.
06:15It looks like there was an earlier call from your location.
06:189-1-1. What's your emergency?
06:20Hi. I'm the manager over at Clowney Club 5.
06:22Someone just collapsed.
06:24I think they're having a...
06:26Call dropped right after that.
06:28Copy that, dispatch.
06:30So one person had a seizure.
06:32The others were just witnesses at first.
06:34You thinking what I'm thinking?
06:35Not really.
06:37Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
06:39They're pseudo-seizures brought on by a traumatic event.
06:41Like seeing someone have a seizure.
06:43One person goes down.
06:44Let's follow.
06:45Okay, so if only one of them is experiencing it for real,
06:49what about the rest?
06:50They just think they are.
06:51This has been going on for at least six minutes,
06:52which means we need to find the real seizure victim
06:55before it's too late.
06:55They all look the same to me.
06:58But they all won't look the same to the Fleur.
07:06Okay, this has been going on for more than six minutes,
07:09which means their muscle starts burning through their energy
07:11before they break down.
07:12The brain's thermoregulation center goes completely haywire.
07:15Whoever is having the real seizure,
07:17with this much physical activity clear,
07:21their body temperature should have risen drastically
07:23compared to the other people.
07:24So they'll show up much hotter than everyone else.
07:26Exactly.
07:27All right, this side is clear.
07:28Where are you?
07:32Clear.
07:34She's clear.
07:38Okay, got him.
07:39Buck, check his wallet for medical history.
07:41Maybe a bracelet or a dog tag.
07:43Rabbit pulse.
07:45He's tachycardic.
07:46Yeah, and epileptic.
07:48Mystery solved.
07:49Starting an IV.
07:49Let's assess the rest of our friends.
07:51Start with arm tests to confirm it's psychogenic.
07:53They're pushing four milligrams of lorazepam.
07:57Come on, buddy.
07:57There we go.
07:59All right, BP stabilizing.
08:01Nice and easy.
08:02Hey.
08:03Hey.
08:05Hey.
08:06Welcome back, sir.
08:08Buck, how's our test going?
08:09Everyone is passing with flying colors.
08:12Sorry, I guess.
08:13Failing.
08:13All right, everybody, let's try some box breathing exercises with them.
08:17See if that helps.
08:18If not, maybe get them out of each other's lines of sight.
08:30Well, you don't see that every day, huh?
08:33No, you do not.
08:36Are you doing okay, Cap?
08:38And would have loved this.
08:43Yeah.
08:45Knees up, Grant.
08:46Eyes up, North.
08:48Never, baby.
08:49Showboat.
08:52Recruits, you've made it to week 12.
08:54Your three-phase drill.
08:55Phase one, forced entry.
08:57Gonna go for the class record?
08:59Wouldn't hate that.
09:00I'll end.
09:01Stay safe for the rest of us.
09:04Phase two, advance an inch and a half hose line into the structure.
09:08You will notice there's no vertical ventilation, which brings us to phase three.
09:13You will climb the aerial and reach the fifth floor window.
09:20You got it, Grant!
09:24There you go.
09:27Yeah, pick that window!
09:31Grant!
09:39Excuse me.
09:40Uh, Harry Grant.
09:41Do you know which room he's in?
09:42Mom.
09:43Mom, why is he here?
09:48Oh, he's okay.
09:50Harry's okay.
09:51He was drilling on the tower, took a spill off the aerial.
09:54The aerial ladder?
09:55Luckily, a mezzanine caught him before the ground did.
09:57Could have been a lot worse.
09:59Oh, my God.
10:00Oh, my God.
10:02Harry.
10:03Mom.
10:04Mom.
10:04I'm fine.
10:06The wheelchair is protocol.
10:07They're discharging me.
10:08He has a mild concussion.
10:10Doctors ruled out anything serious.
10:11I just got my bell rung.
10:12That's it.
10:13That's the TBI talking.
10:15Thank you for coming down.
10:17Of course.
10:18I'm sorry, Chief.
10:19I was rushing.
10:20It was a stupid mistake.
10:21Shake it off, son.
10:22Accidents happen.
10:23Hazards come with training, same as on the job.
10:25You know that better than any recruiter.
10:28So, he's still a recruit?
10:30We'll place him off-duty IOD for 48 hours.
10:32He can rest at home.
10:34Then, if he has no symptoms, he'll be cleared to return.
10:36I'm ready now.
10:37Let's go.
10:37Don't worry.
10:38You won't lose your spot.
10:39Good news.
10:41Um, okay, let's get you home.
10:46Protocol, remember?
10:49Okay.
10:52Okay.
10:54Of course.
11:03No screens.
11:05Doctor's orders.
11:06Mom, I feel fine.
11:07Well, let's keep it that way.
11:09Oh, and no salami either.
11:11The last thing your brain needs is inflammation from cured meats.
11:14So, what am I supposed to do?
11:17What your chief said.
11:19Rest.
11:20Mom, it's a concussion, not the flu.
11:31She's treating me like a child.
11:33Yeah, but why is she so chipper about it?
11:37I swear she's happy I'm injured.
11:39Happy?
11:40She's terrified.
11:42It was a bump on the head.
11:44This time, you didn't see her walking into the hospital.
11:48She was barely holding it together.
11:50Yeah, I know.
11:52She thinks me joining the department is dangerous.
11:55Harry, you just proved it's dangerous.
11:58Ten more inches to the left and she could have been at another funeral.
12:05Bob, do not make me write you up for reheating fish in the microwave.
12:10I know, I know.
12:11It's bad workplace etiquette, but sardine loaf is better when it's warm.
12:15Yeah, it's even better when you leave it at home.
12:16Listen, it's good for brain and heart health and I have tons left over because
12:20Penn wouldn't see me when I tried to stop by the other day.
12:24I blame it on the sardine loaf, but she wouldn't see me either.
12:28Every time I try and visit, Karen tells me that she's either sleeping or in the shower.
12:31I usually get doctor's appointment.
12:34Maybe she just needs some time to herself.
12:36No, isolation doesn't help the healing process.
12:39She needs people to support her.
12:41Maybe we're a reminder that she's not here doing what she loves to do.
12:44Might be hard for her to see us right now.
12:46Okay, so what do we do?
12:49We keep showing up.
12:54Athena, what are you doing here?
12:56How's Harry?
12:57Desperate for me to be anywhere other than hovering over him.
13:01I wasn't sure what was on Henn's diet, but I was thinking at least you and the kids could have
13:05something easy to reheat and eat.
13:08Excuse the mess.
13:09Things have been a little hectic around here lately.
13:15So, how is she?
13:17Because she hasn't been returning any of my calls.
13:21Just good days and bad days.
13:22Which is today.
13:30Henn, you up for a visitor?
13:32Athena's here.
13:35She just wants to check on you.
13:38It might be good for you to see a friendly face.
13:53I'm sorry you came all this way for nothing.
13:57I think all this has just really taken it out of her.
14:02Is she really sleeping or did she tell you to get rid of me?
14:06She's not telling me much of anything these days.
14:11You know, when we got that diagnosis, I had hope.
14:17I thought we were going to fight it together.
14:22But nothing's worked and she's getting worse.
14:26Every day it's like I can feel her slipping farther away from us.
14:29I try to keep her active and make sure she's taking care of herself.
14:32But the more I push, the more she...
14:35Pushes back?
14:37No.
14:39That's the scary part.
14:40She doesn't push back.
14:42She just disengages.
14:45We just need to get her back in the game.
14:48How?
14:50Do I just keep pushing her until she's mad enough at me to push back?
14:56No.
14:56You're a wife.
14:57You do not want to become the face of the thing she's fighting.
15:03So, but what am I supposed to do?
15:06Give her another face to hate.
15:19I don't know why I love you.
15:25We'll hit again on Tuesday.
15:28All right.
15:29Talk to you later, brother.
15:30I don't know why I feel this way.
15:32I love you.
15:33I love you.
15:35I don't know why I love you.
15:36I don't know why I love you.
15:37I don't know why I love you.
15:38I don't know why I love you.
15:47I don't know why I love you.
15:50I don't know why I love you.
15:50I don't know why I love you.
15:50Hey!
15:53You hit me with your car!
15:57911, what's your emergency?
15:59I swear, I didn't hit him.
16:07Car versus pedestrian?
16:09That's the question.
16:10Driver says he fell down on his own.
16:13Yeah, don't they always?
16:14You talk.
16:15More groaning than anything.
16:17We didn't want to move him without you.
16:19Why?
16:20Why did he run me over?
16:22Dude, I didn't hit you.
16:24Someone did.
16:25He's in rough shape.
16:26Sir, I'm Eddie.
16:28Can you tell me your name?
16:29Pult.
16:30Can you move your fingers and your toes?
16:32Yeah.
16:32All right, we're gonna roll you over so we can take a better look at you.
16:38One, two, three.
16:42Whoa, he got hit hard.
16:45Not by me.
16:46Did he break my arm?
16:48Arm, nose, probably ribs.
16:51We're gonna get you to the hospital, okay?
16:55Hey, look at that.
16:56His shoes are still on.
16:58Yeah.
16:59And not a crack in his windshield, either.
17:02I don't know if this car did all that.
17:03It didn't do any of it.
17:04I did not hit him.
17:07All right, you said he came from that way?
17:08He ran from over there and then fell in front of my car.
17:11No, no.
17:16No, no, no, no!
17:16No!
17:49Thank you so much for coming.
17:51Oh, come on.
17:52It's my pleasure.
17:53You, uh, cool with me putting stuff here?
17:56Um...
17:57Hello?
17:58Hey.
18:00Babe, who's this?
18:03Uh, you must be him.
18:05Hi.
18:06I'm, uh, I'm Adam, a physical therapist
18:07and your new chief, uh, motivational officer.
18:11Hi.
18:12Hi.
18:15My wife must have forgot to mention you were coming.
18:18Slipped my mind.
18:20Adam comes very highly recommended.
18:23Karen, can we talk about this?
18:25Later.
18:26I'm gonna have to go out and run a few errands.
18:29Are you serious?
18:32You two have fun.
18:34Bye.
18:35Bye.
18:36What do you say we, uh, wake up those sleepy joints, huh?
18:40So how you feeling?
18:42Like I got hit by a truck.
18:45Well, we both know that didn't happen.
18:49So you wanna tell me what really happened?
18:53It's all fuzzy.
18:55I think I...
18:56I got jumped.
18:58You got jumped?
19:00Yeah.
19:00From behind.
19:02I was a big dude.
19:05Big...
19:06Dude.
19:07Might even have been two of them.
19:09ambitious.
19:11Did your assailant look like this?
19:30How long you been snatching purses?
19:32Shame on you.
19:34Wait for it.
19:41Come here.
19:43She's still going.
19:45Yeah, she is.
19:52Do you wanna amend your statement about two big dudes?
19:59I'd like to call my lawyer.
20:08They'll keep him here for observation, then straight to Men's Central.
20:11You got a mean left hook.
20:13Am I in trouble?
20:15Self-defense.
20:16But, uh, most folk would've let go of the purse.
20:20What got into you?
20:22I had had a day.
20:24It's dollars and cents.
20:26Cuts, cuts, layoffs, cuts.
20:28And frankly, the granola bars are doing more around here than you are.
20:33You're a great gal.
20:34But, I've been doing a lot of work on me.
20:37We're done.
20:39Thanks for a coffee.
20:45For the love of her.
20:54Fuck.
20:55Sometimes, we just need to fight back.
20:59Fair enough.
21:01Okay, and then push out.
21:04One.
21:04Breathe, breathe.
21:06Very good in.
21:07Clockwise?
21:08Counterclockwise.
21:09How's that feeling?
21:11Not good, Adam.
21:12There you go.
21:13Look at you, Rockstar.
21:15There you go.
21:16Breathe, breathe.
21:17You should breathe.
21:18Two.
21:20Very good.
21:22Okay, one more.
21:24Very good.
21:26Ah, that was awful.
21:27That was awesome.
21:28Right?
21:29Come on, give me one more set.
21:31You said that was the last set.
21:32Oh, I'm sorry, Hen, I lied.
21:34Screw you, Adam.
21:35Hen, it's okay if you wanna punch me.
21:38I do not wanna punch you, Adam.
21:40Sure, I'm gonna look my face and not even look.
21:43Maybe a little bit.
21:52Morning.
21:56You going back to training today?
21:58Yeah.
22:00It's been two days.
22:01Feeling pretty good.
22:02No signs of a concussion.
22:03I thought you were training to be a firefighter, not a doctor.
22:07I'm okay.
22:08No headaches, no nausea, no sensitivity to light or noise.
22:11You know it's okay to take another day if you need it.
22:14I mean, just to be on the safe side.
22:17You want me to call your doctor and ask him to write a note?
22:21A doctor's note from my mommy.
22:22No thanks.
22:23I'll pass.
22:26Love you.
22:27I love you too.
22:37Miss me?
22:38I did.
22:39You're my favorite person to be.
22:41Look who got cocky while I was gone.
22:43Okay, three phase drill, let's go.
22:45Let's start with the aerial ladder.
22:47Grant, you're up.
23:01Grant, you doing okay?
23:07No, sir.
23:08I'm feeling a bit dizzy, I guess.
23:10Okay, well don't push it.
23:11Go home and get some rest, alright?
23:12We'll try again tomorrow.
23:25Hi, honey.
23:27You hungry?
23:28I think Karen ordered enough food to feed us for a week.
23:33I think you've forgotten what it's like to feed a teenager.
23:35Oh!
23:38Pickles!
23:39Ah!
23:44Here, honey.
23:46Let me help you with that.
23:52I should be able to open a jar.
23:55You did.
23:56You loosened it for me.
23:58Ma, don't patronize me.
23:59I'm not.
24:01I think working with Adam is helping.
24:04Even if you won't admit it.
24:13Can I hide out here?
24:14If it's your mom, absolutely not.
24:17Mom, I'm hiding from my shame.
24:20What happened?
24:21I thought you were back in training.
24:22I was, but I froze up.
24:25When it was time to climb the ladder again, I panicked.
24:28That's the whole point in training.
24:31Panic there so it doesn't happen in the field.
24:35Here.
24:36So how do you not panic everywhere?
24:38I don't know, you just don't.
24:41That is completely underwhelming advice.
24:44I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming over.
24:46You get lukewarm pep talks when I'm unprepared.
24:53Look, it's normal to be scared.
24:57What makes it brave is that you show up anyway.
25:01Is it brave?
25:03Or is it selfish?
25:05Selfish how?
25:07If something bad happens to me, what happens to them?
25:12You mean your family?
25:14Your mom?
25:15I don't want to be the reason why she has to plan another funeral.
25:20You can't think like that.
25:22So what do I do if that is all I can think about?
25:35Come on in.
25:37Look at you get to the door like a champ, huh?
25:40Must be those wrist rolls he gave me.
25:42I, uh, I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks to you, I'm finally making progress.
25:50That's great, Ann.
25:52But remember, progress is not always in a straight line.
25:56I know. I know.
26:00So where you want to start today?
26:04Some sit to stands?
26:07Uh, yeah, uh, doesn't matter.
26:10All right, well, I'll just follow your lead.
26:12I don't think you should do that, Ann.
26:15Oh.
26:16Adam, you all right?
26:17No, I don't.
26:18I'm full so good.
26:19No.
26:20Oh!
26:22Adam!
26:30You.
26:34it.
26:41It's okay for me and from the downstairs itabad helped you want.
26:44Uh.
26:45Huh.
26:46Uh huh.
26:47Uh huh.
26:48Uh huh.
26:50Uh huh.
26:549-1-1, what's your emergency?
26:56I need an ambulance at 1-9-6-3, Ivory Place, Altadena.
27:00I have a male, mid-40s, collapsed, no pulse, possible heart attack.
27:04Dispatching a unit now, but let's start CPR.
27:06I can't do CPR.
27:07It's fine. I'll walk you through it.
27:09I know how to do CPR. I physically can't do it. I'm disabled.
27:14Just get that RA unit here.
27:16I want to get deep.
27:17Joey, hang on.
27:20This is Adam.
27:21He's our personal trainer. He's been down five minutes.
27:23No pulse, no rest.
27:24Okay. Get him on a life pack. Take his blood sugar.
27:27Prepare to intubate.
27:29What was he doing?
27:30He came in. He went down.
27:32Makes me think cardiac.
27:36Let's shock him.
27:37Clear.
27:44There it is.
27:45Rugada syndrome.
27:46Something tells me he's getting an ICD today.
27:49Let's pack him up.
27:53Need a hand?
27:55Yeah, thanks.
28:02One, two, three.
28:06It's good to see you, hen.
28:08We're all pulling for you.
28:18Brock?
28:21What are you doing here? Is everything okay?
28:24It's about Harry.
28:26He came to see me after his first day back.
28:29Actually, he didn't even make it through the whole day.
28:32I knew it.
28:33It was too soon for him to go back.
28:35Look, I don't think there's anything physically wrong with that.
28:38But you're worried enough to show up here.
28:41Okay, so you know that voice you get in your head?
28:44The one that says,
28:45You suck.
28:46You can't do anything.
28:48I mean, you probably don't have that voice.
28:51Everyone has that voice, Buck.
28:52Even me.
28:53Okay?
28:54So, what?
28:55You think Harry's gotten into his own head?
28:58No, I...
28:59I think you have.
29:02Not that you did it on purpose.
29:05I think the accident and your response to it scared him,
29:09but not for himself.
29:11Scared him for you.
29:15I don't want to see him give up and regret it later.
29:25His office called.
29:26Looks like he's gonna be okay.
29:29Well, that's great news.
29:32I've been a paramedic for 15 years, Mom.
29:36And I couldn't provide that man with basic life support.
29:41My body just wouldn't let me.
29:43If the actual paramedics hadn't gotten here in time,
29:46but they did.
29:50I started out thinking that
29:52I just wanted to get well enough
29:55so I could go back to work.
29:57Just to get my life back.
30:00What if that part of my life is over?
30:04You have always been the most impatient child.
30:09Oh, you don't understand.
30:11I want to read you something, Mom.
30:14Please.
30:15I'm not in the mood for some woo-woo nonsense
30:18you got from some self-help book you found in the garage.
30:21It's not woo-woo.
30:23It's a first-person account
30:25from someone who's been
30:27on a similar journey.
30:31Let's see.
30:33It's been three months
30:34and I'm still not okay.
30:36How is that possible?
30:39Everyone says,
30:41be patient.
30:42Don't lose hope.
30:44Eventually,
30:44I'll feel like myself again.
30:47But I'm starting to think
30:49everyone's been lying to me.
30:50Pfft.
30:51Preach.
30:54Ma says I'm too impatient.
30:56But she just doesn't understand.
31:00Well,
31:02that certainly hasn't changed.
31:07Are you reading from my diary?
31:11Where'd you even find that?
31:13Those boxes I've been storing
31:15in your garage for the past 10 years.
31:17I decided to start going through them
31:19while you were napping.
31:21You've been napping a lot.
31:27Miss Dawson told me
31:29I didn't have to run,
31:30but I was tired of sitting
31:32on the sidelines,
31:33so I did it anyway.
31:36Didn't even make it a minute
31:38before I doubled over
31:39trying to catch my breath.
31:42Jamie Tyler said it was because
31:44I had a hole in my heart
31:45from when I got shot.
31:48Because that's who I am now.
31:51Girl who got shot.
31:56Jamie Tyler.
31:58I never liked that job.
32:01But the girl who wrote that diary,
32:04she was a pretty cool kid.
32:06A tough one, too.
32:09Thanks.
32:12But I think I had a little bit
32:14more resilience since 16
32:15than I have now.
32:17You did not.
32:18But your recovery was painful
32:21and hard and longer than expected.
32:25Some days you couldn't even get out of bed.
32:29But with enough time,
32:32eventually you got better.
32:35But it was not an easy road.
32:41I guess I forgot that part.
32:45Most people do.
32:47We focus on the big moments,
32:50the victories,
32:52not the blood, sweat, and tears
32:55that got us there.
32:56But I remember.
32:59And I know you're still
33:01the same fighter.
33:04And if you don't believe me,
33:08believe yourself.
33:22Don't make me take the covers.
33:27What is happening right now?
33:29You're getting dressed
33:30and we're going out.
33:32You got 15 minutes.
33:34Don't make me come back in here.
33:44When you said we were going out,
33:46I was thinking breakfast.
33:48I got you a smoothie.
33:49I figured you'd want something light
33:51before climbing that ladder.
33:52Look, Mom,
33:53I appreciate the pep talk.
33:54I really do, but...
33:55No, no, no, no.
33:55This ain't a pep talk.
33:56You want to run toward danger
33:57for a living?
33:58I'm not looking to pep you.
33:59into anything.
34:00Then what are we doing here?
34:02I want you to quit.
34:05Excuse me?
34:06I want you to turn around
34:09and stop growing older.
34:14Go back to being that kid
34:15who would run over to hug me
34:17after every shift.
34:18That same kid
34:20who used to beg me
34:22not to go to work every morning.
34:24Who'd say,
34:25Mommy.
34:26I want you to quit.
34:28And I would kiss your head
34:30and leave
34:32feeling terrible.
34:35And when I got to work,
34:36you know what I would do
34:37with that feeling?
34:38What?
34:41I would set it aside.
34:47Family fills us.
34:49It drives us.
34:51But fear
34:52makes you hesitate.
34:54And hesitation
34:55gets you killed.
35:01We don't put on
35:02a uniform
35:03so that we make it home.
35:04We put it on
35:05so that others will.
35:07And if we do that
35:08well enough
35:08without fear
35:11or self-doubt,
35:13then maybe
35:15we get to make it home too.
35:21I guess I didn't think
35:22about how hard
35:23this would all be.
35:25For me,
35:27mostly for you,
35:29I'm following
35:30in the footsteps
35:30of a man whose job,
35:32this job,
35:33took him away from you.
35:34That was his path.
35:36I don't want you to worry.
35:39You let me worry
35:41about what I worry about.
35:42And if and when
35:44you put on that uniform,
35:47you learn to set it aside
35:49the same as I did.
35:51Because you can't carry
35:53nobody out of the fire
35:54if I'm already
35:55on your back.
35:56after you.
36:14Let winter don't
36:23let winter
36:26But until I see you again, I will be here with you.
36:35Just like I told you, I would be here with you.
36:39Dear me, I know I haven't written in months.
36:43I haven't wanted to.
36:45When I write, I'm reminded of all the pain and misery I went through in the last year.
36:50And who wants to think about that?
36:54I was about to give up and never think about it again.
36:58But then I thought, if I, aka you, find it again years from now,
37:05are those dark days really the part I'd want to remember?
37:12Only you and I
37:17A terrible thing happened to you, Henrietta Wilson.
37:21Is it all for me?
37:22And that could have been the end of your story.
37:27But it wasn't.
37:29Cause I know it's all for you.
37:32It was the start of a new one.
37:36And I guess I guess I guess I guess I am.
37:36The world knocked you down and tried to keep you there.
37:39But you refused to stay put.
37:44Even on the days you really wanted to.
38:11You gave it your all.
38:12Yes sir.
38:13Came in as recruits.
38:15Yes sir.
38:15And you're leaving as firefighters.
38:17Yes sir.
38:18And I'm proud of each and every one of you.
38:21Who are you?
38:22Firefighters!
38:23Who are you?
38:24Firefighters!
38:25Who are you?
38:26Firefighters!
38:26Yes sir!
38:27Yeah!
38:29Yeah!
38:31So yes.
38:33You'll always be the girl who got shot.
38:37But you'll always be the girl who lived.
38:41And can do anything she sets her mind to.
38:45I'll be rooting for you.
38:51Please take your seats.
38:52The ceremony will begin shortly.
38:57Keep moving.
38:58We need two more.
39:04There she is.
39:08Couldn't resist upstaging the kids huh?
39:11Hey.
39:12At least we didn't show up in the middle of the ceremony.
39:14Well.
39:14I wanted to make sure that everyone saw that I was getting better.
39:18We're just glad you're here.
39:22In this job I give a lot of speeches.
39:25But of all the many speeches I give.
39:28This is by far my favorite.
39:31It doesn't look back with sorrow or wistful cheer.
39:37But rather aspires forward.
39:41With boundless hope.
39:43And abundant pride.
39:45Because it knows what I know.
39:48That you.
39:50Will save lives.
39:53That men and women will walk this earth.
39:56Who otherwise wouldn't.
39:58Without you.
39:59That children will be born.
40:01And death beds far delayed.
40:04For all your acts of bravery.
40:07And yes.
40:09For some.
40:11Your sacrifice.
40:16You'll reunite families.
40:19And return home to your own.
40:20And with each shift.
40:22You will clock into another family.
40:25One forged in fire.
40:27With bonds far stronger than any you've ever known.
40:31The lives you save.
40:33The worlds you make better.
40:35Will not just be.
40:36The people we serve.
40:39But also each others.
40:42Congratulations to you all.
40:45And welcome.
40:46To the family of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
41:28Hey.
41:29This is like the welcome party.
41:30To the rest of your life.
41:31Can you maybe get off your phone?
41:32Sorry.
41:33I was checking the station assignments.
41:35They said that they'd post them after the ceremony.
41:37Well.
41:38We may have gotten an advanced look at that list.
41:51Are you serious?
41:52All that work we put in to help raise you.
41:55You didn't think we were gonna let that go to some other firehouse.
41:58You stuck with us now kid.
42:00Welcome to the 118 Proby.
42:03Come on.
42:05Congratulations.
42:07Come on.
42:07Come on.
