00:06We're frontliners.
00:07You have to make the cause nobody else wants to make.
00:10And you live with the fallout.
00:14Send Mr. Warner!
00:15I got this! Clear the second floor!
00:18I don't even think Herman wants to be chief.
00:21Did you lay down your bugles for me?
00:23It's time for you to get your chance.
00:26When I said that I didn't want us to move in together,
00:29that was me being honest.
00:31You can't see a feature together.
00:33We shouldn't be together.
00:35Things change.
00:37It's inevitable.
00:38Even on 51.
00:42I put in an application with the Denver Fire Department.
00:44I hope you find what you need there.
00:50Sal?
00:51What are you...
00:53Look, I know this hurts to go.
00:56I'm really sorry this adoption didn't work out.
00:58There's something you need to see.
01:02Tell you were pregnant.
01:09When I took the test last week,
01:12it said positive.
01:13So,
01:14I don't understand.
01:18Losing a pregnancy this early on
01:20is fairly common.
01:22A lot of people don't even know
01:24they're pregnant at that stage.
01:28The good news is that
01:30there's nothing in the exam or the labs
01:32to suggest any issues
01:34that would stop you from having
01:35a healthy pregnancy in the future.
01:39That's...
01:39That's great to hear.
01:42Yes.
01:47Thank you, Dr. Simmons.
01:54Are they here?
01:55Okay, great.
01:56I'll be right out.
01:58Apologies, but
01:58I'll need to get to that meeting.
02:00Best of luck to you.
02:02I am here if you need anything.
02:04Thank you, doctor.
02:23I'm sorry.
02:25Babe?
02:26Babe, for what?
02:27Babe?
02:28I just...
02:29Gus, I just...
02:32Like, I should have waited a few days
02:34to tell me you were taking another test.
02:36No.
02:37You don't need to apologize to me
02:39for anything.
02:41Bring this together.
02:42Every step of the way.
02:56This goes against our protocol.
03:00He's been a problem for us
03:01repeatedly.
03:02I know.
03:04That's why it's called a favor.
03:07Well, we've discussed it internally
03:09and we have concerns.
03:11But ultimately,
03:12we want to keep these
03:13department channels open.
03:15So,
03:16we're going to assign him
03:17to Firehouse 51.
03:22Do I ever say in this?
03:24I think you know the answer to that.
03:27But 51 was the CFD's choice
03:29for a reason.
03:31So, you should be flattered.
03:39Morning.
03:39Hey, morning.
03:44What?
03:45I can't help but notice
03:47that, uh,
03:48you are still in here.
03:51And?
03:52How long has it been
03:53since Malch made lieutenant?
03:55Do you not see me
03:56in the process of moving out?
03:59That has taken you
04:00an entire month?
04:01Some of these items
04:02are very fragile.
04:04You're not leaving,
04:05are you?
04:05You see Malch complaining.
04:07Look,
04:08all I'm saying is,
04:09the sign
04:10says
04:11officer's quarters.
04:13You're not an officer anymore.
04:15And Malch can't keep using
04:16the squad lunch table
04:17as his desk.
04:18You know what my favorite
04:19part of this office is?
04:21The door.
04:23Hey, you know,
04:23the new truck guy
04:24starts today.
04:26You might want to try
04:27setting a good example
04:28for once.
04:29Hey,
04:30I am the model
04:32of professionalism.
05:06Vasquez.
05:08Yeah,
05:09that's me.
05:09Good to meet you,
05:10Chief.
05:10Same.
05:11I, uh,
05:11heard a lot about you.
05:13Let's head in.
05:18Here's your new crew.
05:26Briefing room's here.
05:35Here you go.
05:37Without a locker,
05:38make it your own.
05:39Welcome to the one.
05:41Vasquez.
05:42Thank you, sir.
05:55Oh, hey there.
05:57I'm, uh,
05:58I'm Sal Vasquez.
05:59Oh, well,
06:01I am your lieutenant,
06:02still a kid.
06:04Yeah,
06:04I'm looking forward
06:04to getting into it.
06:05You know,
06:06meeting the team.
06:09Yeah.
06:11Well,
06:13you should know
06:14that you are replacing
06:16a hell of a good driver.
06:21You know what,
06:22excuse me?
06:24Ambulance 51,
06:26engine 51,
06:26truck 81,
06:27squad 3,
06:28structure fire.
06:29Let's move back, guys.
06:30southwestern.
06:32He's like,
06:33too.
06:34Over time.
06:48I don't care.
06:51That's going to happen.
06:53Yeah.
07:01He had a sword,
07:02and he would've been taken away.
07:03Play's a little heavy on the puddle.
07:07I was thinking the same thing.
07:12Which house you come into on, Vazquez?
07:14Uh, 25.
07:16Slow action compared to you guys.
07:18Yeah, every house is.
07:21What the hell?
07:28We have a whole truck on fire in a gate to the gas station.
07:33I'm going to go to the gas station.
07:40Whoa!
07:43Whoa, Vazquez!
07:47Hey, did you not get your books?
07:54Oh, Vazquez!
07:57Take the gas station!
07:59Hoppy made!
08:0081 is taking the truck!
08:15Drop the cross, lay down!
08:17Peter, grab the choice!
08:18Hoppy!
08:19Let's go!
08:23Hurry up, let's go!
08:27Oh, this lady's hurt!
08:29Who's got Tony Carver?
08:30Can you just get this fire out?
08:32Copy.
08:33All right, let's get the gas!
08:37Go!
08:43One, two, three!
08:46You got attacked by two dudes in a pickup truck trying to rob her?
08:50I saw the whole thing!
08:55He did that, Vazquez!
08:56Yeah.
09:01All right, see if we can grab a pulse.
09:06Try.
09:09I got an injured victim at the gas station.
09:13Okay, I've got to tag this black and get to the other patient.
09:15I'm going to call for another ambulance and the police.
09:18Copy.
09:29If you want to maize, put a second ammo and CPD to our location.
09:35What have we got?
09:43What have we got?
09:44Gina here's got a cache on the back of her head, knows her name what day it is.
09:48Are you hurt anywhere else, Gina?
09:49I don't think so.
09:51She's attacked by two guys in that truck that was on fire.
09:54There was only one person in that truck.
09:56What?
09:59Hey, you called the police, right?
10:00Yeah, same time as I called the fire.
10:03All right, call him again.
10:04Yeah.
10:13Hey!
10:14Hey, don't move!
10:25Hey, put!
10:27Stop fighting!
10:29He's the second attacker!
10:44Daska's went a little rogue on the drive.
10:47He pulled a hard U.E. before Kate gave the order.
10:50But the man can't handle a truck.
10:52I like the sound of that.
10:54Carver came in with that attitude, too.
10:56I remember.
10:57Kid whipped him into shape pretty fast.
11:00Is there still no contact?
11:02No.
11:03We're, um, we're standing on our agreement to give each other the space to move on.
11:11I am not letting it be all sad, okay?
11:15We got to tell each other how we really felt.
11:18Lots of people never get that chance.
11:20It's true.
11:22Since Dwayne moved to New York, we've actually been texting.
11:28A lot.
11:29Really?
11:30I was starting to get excited, too.
11:32Like, after everything, maybe this really is the guy.
11:36Mm-hmm.
11:37Uh, hey, last 24 hours, he's been in M.I.A.
11:41Maybe he got too much for him.
11:43You don't know that.
11:47Hermano.
11:48Good luck, eh?
11:53Hey.
11:55What's the deal with Dom Toretto over there?
11:57You know his story?
11:58Nope.
11:59That's quite the move he pulled off on truck.
12:01It's your old spot.
12:02You're not curious?
12:05I get to know Carver, he leaves.
12:08I get to know Damon, he's transferred.
12:11I figure I ignore this guy, he'll stick around.
12:14So that's my plan.
12:17Now, if you'll excuse me, I would love to finish this report in peace.
12:23You do know that you can do that in your office, right?
12:26I guess that means you'd have to confront your squatter.
12:30Herman's just taking his time.
12:32I'm sure he has an end date in mind.
12:34When?
12:352050?
12:36Look, watch.
12:37I get it.
12:37The guy, he gave up his bugles for you.
12:40But you're a lieutenant now.
12:42It's time to lay down the law.
12:48Hey, check this out.
12:49They're showing the footage of the gas station attack.
12:51Another brazen daylight attack in Chicago.
12:54But this one did not go as planned.
12:57That's the victim.
12:58Security camera footage captured the moment
13:00where this woman bravely fought off her attackers.
13:03Oh, yeah.
13:03Look at that.
13:04Now, one of the attackers is dead,
13:06and the other is in custody.
13:08Still wonder what the hell took the cops so long to show up.
13:10And now, a statement from the mayor's office.
13:13Oh, great.
13:14Now we gotta hear the new mayor's talking head
13:16tell us how everything is hunky-dory.
13:18Mayor Benning intends to tackle this high crime rate we've inherited.
13:22We're facing it head-on,
13:23and we have plans to turn this city around.
13:26Just like they always say,
13:28and then things get worse.
13:31Vasquez,
13:32I see you a minute.
13:34Perfect.
13:36I know that tone.
13:38She is not happy.
13:45So, I have to give my reports, Pascal, in a minute,
13:48but I wanted to talk to you first.
13:50Yeah, sounds good.
13:51You did not wait for my orders
13:53in route to that last call.
13:55You made a reckless U-turn,
13:57and you started after that pickup
13:59without a word to me.
14:00But I knew we had to go after it.
14:02We're not gonna...
14:03We're not gonna let a fireball
14:04just roll down Western Avenue, right?
14:08I think what you mean to say
14:10is you are sorry,
14:11and that will never happen again.
14:16Okay.
14:17Yeah, sure.
14:18What happened again?
14:27What's wrong?
14:29Who the hell is this guy?
14:41You wanna see his resume?
14:43I wanna know why you brought him here.
14:46Well, I heard Vasquez is a great firefighter.
14:48The word I got was gutsy.
14:50He has an attitude problem.
14:51I have dealt with his kind before.
14:54You straighten them out.
14:56He's six hours into his first shift.
14:59So that means what we saw out there
15:00was him on his best behavior.
15:03So what was it that he did, exactly?
15:05He acted without waiting for orders
15:07from his lieutenant.
15:09And I get the distinct impression
15:10that's not the first time he's done that.
15:11So you wanna cut him loose?
15:13I have to know that my men
15:16will fall in line
15:17or I put our entire company at risk.
15:20We've lost a lot of good firefighters lately.
15:24I suggest you take a beat
15:25before you risk losing another.
15:40How'd it go?
15:42He seems to think that I'm jumping the gun.
15:47You agree with him?
15:48Well, I wasn't in there to hear it all.
15:50Whatever you decide, I got your back.
15:52Well, that's not an opinion.
15:57Look, you've been, like,
15:58walking on HLs around me lately,
16:00and it's just not helping anything.
16:02So please, see what you think.
16:08I think you've had a lot going on lately, and...
16:11You mean I'm bringing my personal life into work?
16:13I didn't say that, Stella.
16:15Truth is, I don't care about this Vasquez guy.
16:17I care about you.
16:19I know.
16:21But when I'm at work, I am at work.
16:23Vasquez is trouble,
16:24and something is off with Pascal's attitude.
16:42You got a sec?
16:43Uh, yeah.
16:45What can I do for you, Lieutenant?
16:47I was just curious if you had an ETA on the...
16:52on the moving out.
16:54Oh.
16:55I mean, I know you've been, uh, working on it,
16:57but it has been a while.
16:59No, you're right.
17:00You know, I probably, you know, could pick up the pace.
17:03Great.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Yeah.
17:05It's just, you know,
17:07it's been a little nuts around here.
17:09I...
17:10I didn't realize when I got demoted, you know,
17:13how much, you know, retraining I'd have to do for a truck.
17:17Right.
17:17It's just taking time.
17:19And then the, you know, the cut in pay.
17:21I've had to figure out ways to bring in extra income.
17:26And currently, I'm working my way through this.
17:30More money now.
17:32Yeah.
17:33It's absolutely useless so far.
17:35But, you know, Cindy,
17:37she's looking to pick up some work.
17:39And Annabelle, uh,
17:40she may end up in trade school instead of college.
17:43But that would help.
17:44Hey, you know what?
17:45Now think about it.
17:46There's been so much change around here lately.
17:50I don't think we should rock the boat.
17:52So I...
17:53You don't want me to move out of here?
17:54I'm just saying,
17:56you take your time.
17:57There's no rush.
17:59Okay.
18:00If that's what you want.
18:03That's what I want.
18:05All right.
18:23So is this an order from kid
18:24or do you just have a thing for bathrooms?
18:28A little bit of both.
18:30There's nothing like good old manual labor, right?
18:33Yeah, if you say so.
18:38Hey, for what it's worth,
18:40I was the new guy last year
18:41and I know it has its challenges.
18:43So if you ever want to talk...
18:46I appreciate that.
18:48I don't worry too much about firehouse at Ann.
18:50It's...
18:50It's what it is.
18:53Okay.
18:55But you should know,
18:56you won't find a better lieutenant anywhere.
18:59Okay.
19:00Good to hear.
19:01I feel like I'm having more beagles and brains.
19:03You do not want to underestimate her.
19:06Trust me.
19:09Annette,
19:11don't look at the shower cells.
19:20Hey, Mouch.
19:21Hey.
19:22Am I interrupting?
19:24It's my lot in life now.
19:26I'm sorry to hear that.
19:31So...
19:32I was supposed to FaceTime with Dwayne this morning.
19:36He wanted to show me his new apartment in New York.
19:40But he didn't call.
19:42And I can't get a hold of him.
19:44I know he's tight with Trudy,
19:45so maybe you could just check with her,
19:48see if she's talked to him recently.
19:50Okay.
19:52I can do that.
19:53Amazing.
19:55You're welcome.
19:57Just make sure that she knows
19:59I am not, like, freaking out or anything.
20:02You know, just curious.
20:03Maybe just take yes for an answer, Ritter.
20:06Of course.
20:10Anything I could do to help?
20:12Peace and quiet.
20:12It's all I need.
20:13Copy.
20:14Thanks again, Mouch.
20:15Mm-hmm.
20:18You just get a gut feeling.
20:19You know?
20:20And I trust my gut.
20:22You should.
20:23You should trust your gut.
20:26What are you looking for in here?
20:28All right, we used to have a small outdoor shovel.
20:31I am going to have Vasquez do a little bit of gardening out front.
20:38How did this get in here?
20:41Oh.
20:43Um.
20:44We got you guys some baby stuff
20:46when you thought you were coming back from med with a baby.
20:49Maybe there's more in the bag.
20:51That's really sweet.
20:53It's around for whenever.
20:54Or if ever.
20:56Where are you guys at with all that?
21:00Uh, it's been a little bumpy.
21:04We told Terry to hold off
21:06on the whole adoption process for now.
21:12Yeah, I totally get it.
21:13You guys were on a
21:15serious emotional rollercoaster.
21:21I'm going to go back to being frustrated.
21:23It's more fun.
21:24Okay.
21:26Where the hell is the shovel?
21:28Maybe Cap took it back to his mom's place?
21:36I'm going to go back to school.
21:49We'll be right back to the naar.
21:50We're going to go back to school.
21:52I'm going to go back to school.
21:54Oh, that's what we're going to do.
21:56Um.
21:59Dispatch said Christiana and West 21st Street, right?
22:01Yeah, that's what I got.
22:02Squad 3 to Maine.
22:03No sign of fire at Christiana and 21st Street.
22:06Do you have any more information on this?
22:08Squad 3, stand by.
22:10Dollars to donuts.
22:11Fire's on East 21st.
22:14Maine to Squad 3.
22:15Confirming a single report of fire at Christiana and West 21st Street.
22:19That's all we got.
22:20No smoke?
22:21Single reports?
22:22Probably just a bunch of kids messing around.
22:24I'd better suss it out just to be sure.
22:26All right, squad, let's check the south side.
22:28Copy that.
22:28All right, Herman Britter, check the Bravo side of this building.
22:31Work your way east on 21st.
22:33Vasquez, you're with me.
22:34Copy that.
22:36Come up this way.
22:45It's done.
22:46We got a gunshot victim over here.
22:48Copy.
22:49Vasquez, we got a TSW.
22:56Lieutenant, get down, get down, gun, gun, gun, gun.
23:01We got a 3 to Maine.
23:09We need police backup now.
23:12We got a 3.
23:12We'll notify CPD.
23:18Hey, Lieutenant, we're coming for.
23:21It doesn't look like they're doubling back around.
23:24You all right?
23:24You okay?
23:25Yeah.
23:26It's all right.
23:26Hey, we're clear.
23:28Everyone all right?
23:29Yeah, we're good.
23:31Come on.
23:33Just stay with me.
23:35You jump back in the stretcher over here.
23:36Coming to you.
23:37Hey, Britter, give her a hand.
23:38On it, Lieutenant.
23:41Okay.
23:42Sorry, I know.
23:42I got up a pressure on it.
23:43What's your name?
23:44Caleb.
23:45Hang in there for me, Caleb.
23:46We got you.
23:46Anybody catch a look at the dirtbags?
23:48Yeah, they're with a black 4Runner, uh, no tags, male Hispanic driver.
23:51Squad 3 to Maine.
23:52We got an offender in a black.
23:53We're with a 4Runner heading northbound on Christiana.
23:56GSW victim being treated on scene right now.
23:59Make the squad 3.
23:59Waiting for an available CPD unit to respond.
24:02We'll update with an ETA.
24:03I am.
24:04Thanks for nothing.
24:04Homeostatic gauze and curlix.
24:063-0.
24:07Penetrating.
24:07Cut the shirt, please.
24:08Come back on.
24:09Please.
24:19I know.
24:19I know it hurts.
24:20We're going to get to the pain meds.
24:21We just got to try to stop the bleeding first.
24:23Call rates 104.
24:25VPs 92 palp.
24:26All right.
24:34Let's get him in the rig.
24:35Give him a 16-8.
24:36Run it wide open.
24:37We'll give him 50 of fentanyl on group.
24:38Copy.
24:39On 3.
24:391, 2, 3.
24:46Like the O.K. Corral out of you today.
24:49Still no PD.
24:51Yeah.
24:52Not all the way.
24:52I know it's just dead.
24:54I don't know what you're going to do.
24:56Yes.
25:05No.
25:14No.
25:16Please.
25:17Yes.
25:18Yes.
25:18Yes.
25:21I thought and said we had one more.
25:40Looked like a gang thing.
25:42The victim must have been hiding out
25:43until he heard the sirens.
25:44He probably thought the SUV would just take off
25:46once he saw us rolling up.
25:48Turns out they were happy to take all of us down with them.
25:51Yeah, but you, you were a beat ahead of us.
25:54You seemed to know the bullets were coming.
25:56Uh, yeah, yeah.
25:57I did some time at the police academy.
25:58You know, before I got in the firefighter track,
26:00I, uh, I guess I honed some instincts.
26:02Yeah.
26:09I can't work with all this noise.
26:19Vasquez probably saved all of our lives out there.
26:22You think that might warm Kit up a little?
26:24You think it's all about his attitude?
26:26He's got confidence to spare.
26:27I hope that he gets that he's on the ropes.
26:29Yeah, but it's kind of like a charming confidence,
26:31don't you think?
26:32No.
26:33I don't.
26:34We got another GSW here.
26:36I'm going to call Abby, who works over at 911,
26:39see if she knows where there have been so many delayed responses
26:41the last few shifts.
26:43Vasquez was at the police academy,
26:46and that was before he switched firehouses a bunch.
26:51This guy is all over the place.
26:53I wonder if he's the one who decided to do all the jumping
26:56or if he got booted.
26:59I'm going to call around a bit,
27:00see if I can get some background,
27:02and just fill out the picture.
27:04You two, follow me.
27:05We can go through your reports on the shooting call.
27:10Once the shooting stopped, I tried to grab a plate,
27:12but the SUV didn't have one.
27:14What did PD say when they got there?
27:16Nothing.
27:17They never showed.
27:18What do you mean they never showed?
27:20I don't know.
27:20Maybe they showed up after we left.
27:22So PD was late to the first call
27:24and a no-show on the second.
27:25That's right.
27:27Yeah, come in.
27:29I'm sorry to interrupt,
27:31but you're going to want to hear this.
27:32Go ahead.
27:34I have a friend over at 911.
27:36After the shooting,
27:37I gave her a call to see if she could explain
27:39what is going on over there.
27:40We were just trying to make sense of that ourselves.
27:42She said that over the last couple months,
27:44a bunch of dispatchers have quietly been let go,
27:47and apparently it is the same at PD.
27:49Did she say why?
27:51No one has said anything.
27:52But now they're drowning in calls,
27:53and apparently they don't have the resources
27:55to respond to them.
27:56That's why PD didn't show today?
27:57They literally don't have the manpower.
27:59If they're not responding to a shots-fired call,
28:02what else are they missing?
28:03Do you have any idea how many calls they aren't getting?
28:06Apparently City Hall is sitting on a report
28:08that says of all calls coming into 911,
28:1149% of them are going unanswered.
28:14Half of all calls?
28:16That can't be right.
28:17That's what she told me.
28:18And the city's doing nothing about it?
28:19Why weren't we notified?
28:21I don't know.
28:23What the hell's going on here?
28:30Well, if it isn't my better half.
28:37Oh, my God.
28:47That's what's wrong.
28:49Trudy got a call from NYPD.
28:52Dwayne?
28:53He's in the hospital for a gunshot wound.
29:00How bad?
29:02They just took him into surgery.
29:05That's...
29:05That's all we know right now.
29:14I'm so sorry, brother.
29:23I'm so sorry, brother.
29:30Dwayne's okay.
29:31Trudy sounded pretty shaken up.
29:34She's called the new mayor's office.
29:36Don't expect to hear back,
29:38but in the meantime,
29:38we gotta start kicking down doors
29:40with anyone we know in city government.
29:43Who do we know?
29:44We could call the commissioner,
29:46D.C. Bowden.
29:47I checked with headquarters and Bowden.
29:48They didn't know anything about it.
29:50I think it's probably over the department's pay grade
29:52if they knew anything we'd know, too.
29:54We have helped out a lot of Alderman over the years.
29:56Yeah, I made a connection with Alderman Molina last year.
29:59I can reach out to him.
30:00That's right.
30:00Good.
30:01Who else?
30:01Herman's pissed off the city treasurer.
30:04Does that help?
30:04He'd probably remember Herman's name.
30:06All right.
30:07Dale Andrews?
30:08Give him a call.
30:09I feel like there's someone...
30:13It's the mayor's office.
30:15That was fast.
30:16Pascal here?
30:20Yes, I did.
30:23Yes, I can.
30:25I appreciate it, Ms. Davis.
30:27Yes.
30:28Mayor Benning's chief of staff.
30:30She wants to meet with me in our office first thing tomorrow.
30:32Maybe you'll get some answers.
30:34Maybe.
30:35Got the feeling there's more to it than that.
30:48Hey, Novak.
30:50Hey, what's up?
30:52Okay.
30:54Yeah, yeah.
30:55I was, um...
30:57I was just thinking about Ritter's friend in New York, Dwayne.
31:01Yeah.
31:02I hope he's okay.
31:03He's a great guy.
31:04Yeah, I'm...
31:05I'm really sorry to hear about that.
31:15Do you need something?
31:17I do.
31:18Yeah, actually, I, um...
31:20Have a favor to ask of you?
31:22What kind?
31:28Oh, how did that happen?
31:30Well, when the bullets started flying and I dropped to the ground, I...
31:34I landed on my halogen.
31:35Ouch.
31:36Yeah.
31:37You stitched it up yourself.
31:38Yeah, I don't want to make a thing of it, you know, because it's handicapped or anything,
31:41it's doing a big pain in the ass, but...
31:42Yeah, I found a suture kit and I gave it a go with a needle and stuff, but...
31:45Turns out sewing's harder than I thought.
31:47Yeah, you're a lunatic.
31:49Not the first time I've heard that.
31:50Okay, well, get in the ambulance.
31:51I'll clean it out and stitch it up for you.
31:56You did a pretty good job, dude.
31:58Yeah, that's what you think.
32:03Hey.
32:04You're still burning the midnight oil.
32:06Not by choice.
32:08Pascal lit into me because I still haven't turned in my incident report.
32:12No rest for the weary.
32:15Been there.
32:16Well, unlike you, this wasn't my fault.
32:20I can't find a moment's peace in this godforsaken place.
32:34Hey, listen, Mach.
32:36At the office, um, I fought hard for it, really hard.
32:41And I'll be honest, it's tough to let it go.
32:45But you earned it, too.
32:47And in some ways, it's just as much yours as it is mine.
32:51It is actually, literally just his.
32:57Okay, so, with all that in mind, I thought, what if...
33:01What if we split it?
33:03You know, some days it'll be mine, some days yours.
33:05I mean, we can even make up a calendar, you know, to make it official.
33:09So, like, uh, timeshare.
33:12Exactly, yeah.
33:13I mean, you know what I'm saying?
33:15I can take down some of Kenny's drawings if you want and clear out some wall space.
33:18I wouldn't ask you to do that.
33:20Oh, please do.
33:21Because his drawings are awful.
33:24So, come on.
33:27Say yes.
33:29Before I regret it.
33:38Deal.
33:41I'll start clearing out some space.
33:47I guess the guilt finally got to him.
33:52I saw you turn in that report hours ago.
33:55Oh, did I?
33:57Did I?
34:57Hi.
35:00Hi.
35:00I did.
35:03Of course I did.
35:21Miss Davis, Chief Pascal is here.
35:24Chief.
35:25Morning.
35:25Thanks for coming in.
35:26Of course.
35:28Sorry about the disaster zone.
35:29It's been a messy transition.
35:31I appreciate you making the time.
35:33Please, have a seat.
35:36I was just reading up on you.
35:39Commendations, a word of valor.
35:41You've got quite the reputation.
35:43Just doing my job.
35:44Lucky me.
35:45My house is in your district.
35:47Well, let's hope if the worst happens,
35:49your call is one that actually gets answered.
35:55I guess bad news travels fast.
35:58So it's true.
36:00What have you heard?
36:03The city sitting on a report.
36:05One that says that half of 911 calls are going unanswered.
36:09That is correct.
36:10Do you realize what a serious problem this is?
36:12Of course I do.
36:13But we inherited this mess.
36:15We didn't create it.
36:16Well, I don't care whose fault it is.
36:18I want to know something's being done about it.
36:21There is.
36:24But you're not going to like it.
36:34I got a bad feeling about this.
36:4051.
36:42Thank you for gathering everyone.
36:44I just got back from the mayor's office,
36:46and this is what I learned.
36:48The city's in worse shape than it's led on.
36:51Budget wise, they're completely underwater.
36:53They've already reduced services at 911 and PD.
36:57Let me guess.
36:58We're next.
36:59Now, the good news is that 51's not shutting down,
37:01but to conserve resources,
37:03the city's implementing strategic brownouts
37:05and rig reductions effective immediately.
37:09We're losing rigs?
37:10Which ones?
37:10It'll be on a rotating basis.
37:12Sometimes engine,
37:13sometimes truck,
37:14sometimes squad.
37:15Does this include the medics?
37:17The EMS doesn't lose any rigs,
37:19but you'll be covering more ground
37:20filling in for houses that go offline.
37:22How much more?
37:23Still TBD,
37:24but I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you.
37:26Your runs will be longer,
37:27and your shifts will be busier.
37:29Bottom line is,
37:30this is our new reality,
37:33at least for the foreseeable future.
37:35What about response?
37:37I know, I know, and I'll get answers,
37:40but for now, just know,
37:42you'll be working harder,
37:43sleeping less,
37:44and carrying more.
37:46But this is when the best
37:49show what they're made of.
37:52And if I learn one thing in this last year,
37:56you are the best.
38:01So let's show the city how it's done.
38:04Yes, Chief.
38:04Should I be there, Chief?
38:06Thank you, Chief.
38:18I want to let you know I called around about Vasquez.
38:24I got some negative feedback.
38:27Meaning?
38:27He has a rep for insubordination with his officers.
38:32Always pushing back, not following the rules.
38:34It's why he's been bumped around so often.
38:36Yeah, I heard about that.
38:39Well, if these budget cuts mean we'll be paring back staff on rigs,
38:43it seems like it's best to let him go.
38:47Vasquez is staying.
38:54May I ask why?
38:57Vasquez needs a leader like you.
38:59One who has the confidence to take him on.
39:01Show him who's boss, elevate his game.
39:04Okay, but why bring someone like this into the firehouse at all?
39:09How good a firefighter can he be, Chief?
39:16The only answer I can give you right now
39:19is that this job is Vasquez's last hope to stay in the CFD.
39:24And I need that to happen.
39:31Why would Pascal need Vasquez to stay?
39:34I have no idea.
39:37So you were right.
39:38Something is off about the whole thing.
39:42It's...
39:43Hi, Terry.
39:44Hey, guys.
39:46Hi.
39:46Apologies for showing up, but, you know,
39:49I have an issue that's extremely time sensitive.
39:51Terry, I thought we said that we were putting a hole
39:53while adopting a pig.
39:55You did.
39:56Yeah.
39:56But this isn't about a baby.
39:59Before Natalie and her sister reconnected,
40:01you asked me about the possibility
40:03of officially taking her in as a foster.
40:05But then she moved in with Julia,
40:07and she's really happy there.
40:09Which is terrific.
40:11Truth is,
40:13there aren't a lot of people willing to take in teenagers.
40:16There are no months-long waiting lists
40:18like there are with the youngest children.
40:20But it did seem like it was something you guys were open to.
40:23Look.
40:25Right now, there is a great kid
40:27who's about to be removed from his group home,
40:29and he has nowhere to go.
40:32So I have to ask,
40:34would you two be willing to meet him?
40:43Okay, I'm gonna call Ritter Philemon and get the update on the theme.
40:46These last tags said that Dwayne was critical,
40:49but no other details.
40:50Oh, have a good one, Vasquez.
40:52And, uh, don't try and take out your appendix while you're off shift.
40:55Okay?
40:57Can't make any promises.
40:57All right.
41:09Can you see he takes a homeわか who came along?
41:11by your parents and them.
41:11All right.
41:12Bye.
41:14Bye.
41:16Bye.
41:17Bye.
