9-1-1 (2018–…): Season 5, Episode 16 - May Day - full transcript

How long has the pursuit
been going?

Six minutes, high speed.

Armed suspect
and his girlfriend.

- MAN: Shots fired, shots fired.
- Copy that, shots fired.

This thing's gonna start
generating other calls.

It's gonna be a day.

911. What's your emergency?

WOMAN: Yeah, my boyfriend's driving
the car you guys are chasing.

- MAN: What the hell - Are you doing?
- Making sure these people know

- that I got no part of this.
- Hang up, now!

- Are you hurt, ma'am?
- No, but - he's gonna get me killed.



MAN: Put that phone down now,
you crazy bitch.

Doreen, you need to tell him
to pull over

- and surrender peacefully.
- He won't listen.

Okay, stay on the line with me.

I've got his girlfriend
on the line.

Tell her to get him to stop.

I tried that.
He's not interested.

Try again.

- Do you have any idea - where he's headed?
- Probably to his mama.

She's over on Wetherly.

Always runs to her
when he has a problem.

MAN: Are you crazy? Don't
tell them that. Give me that!

Okay, suspect's mother
lives on Wetherly.

- He might be heading her way.
- Dispatching additional units.



- What about spike strips?
- They're not in position for that.

How we doing, Doreen?

He's slowing down!
He's slowing down!

Girlfriend says car's
slowing down.

- Whatever, mama's boy!
- All units, all units be advised

suspect is abandoning
his vehicle.

Suspect is about to be on foot.

- Airship's up, en route now.
- Finally.

DOREEN:
He's running. What do I do?

Okay, stay in the vehicle
and await police instructions.

Did he leave the weapon
or take it with him?

DOREEN:
He's got it with him.

All units,
suspect remains armed.

Girlfriend is in vehicle,
unarmed, awaiting instruction.

Name is Doreen.

Claudette, I had a pursuit
here last week.

The suspects fled down the alley

between Armadale
and York Street.

Behind the burger place.
Just have them

take the alley cutout:
Armadale and York.

Not now.
Linda, give me something.

- Airship's on the scene, joining pursuit.
- Okay.

Mom's house is six blocks away.

Units are on the way
to intercept.

And here I thought for once

we'd go through a whole shift
without a pursuit.

Josh, you knew better
than to make that bet.

OFFICER: 44. We are now
in foot pursuit,

- approaching Armadale.
- Copy. In foot pursuit.

Units, if you take the alley
between Armadale and York,

you should be able
to cut the suspect off.

OFFICER 2:41 copy,
taking Armadale alley.

OFFICER 3:
Adam 33 in the area.

We'll cover the
York Street side.

- Stop! Show me your hands.
- On the ground, now.

OFFICER:
Dispatch, we're Code 4.

Copy.

- Code 4.
- Suspect in custody.

JOSH:
Nice job.

The alley cutoff was inspired.

Yeah, it seemed like
the obvious call.

"Obvious call"? Yeah, obvious,
because I told her to do it.

So, you want the credit.

I just want an acknowledgement

that other people exist
in her world.

- You don't know what she's like.
- Oh, no, I know the type.

I had more than a few sergeants
just like her coming up.

Yeah, that sort of behavior
went out a long time ago.

She's a dinosaur, a bully.

I just need to
stand up to her, I know.

Yeah, stand up for yourself.

Talk to her. Work it out.

Well, I thought we had,
but with Claudette it's always

two steps forward, and then
get stabbed in the back.

If anything's pushing me
to go to college, it's her.

No, you do that because
you want to go,

not because you were
chased there.

Well, thank you, guys,

- and thank you for breakfast.
- Mm-hmm.

Have a wonderful day,
sweetheart.

Thank you.
I have another shift.

All right. Go get 'em.

Hey. Maybe you should talk
to the dinosaur.

No, no, no.
I promised May I wouldn't.

What about Sue? Did you promise
not to talk to her, too?

So you think I should ask
to speak to the manager?

Yes. And if you don't,
I will.

Don't you think that's
a little extreme?

The fire captain
showing up at Dispatch

to file a complaint?

Mess with my kid,
you mess with me.

You know what I mean.

Oh, I do, and it's sweet.

But don't you go down there,
Papa Bear.

(takes deep breath)

Understood.

CHIMNEY: That was the nicest leasing
office I've been in.

I think that was eucalyptus
in that diffuser, huh?

Okay, Or ring ton Plaza.

Oh, this place is great.
Huge pool, spa.

And the gym has
a Narcissus machine.

Wow. You know, this is historic.

It is?

Albert, there comes a time
in every big brother's life

when he is set free.

Free to stop worrying about
the fate of his little bro.

- Oh, God.
- Look at you.

Your days of couch surfing,
guest room haunting

and general freeloading are
coming to an end.

Don't get ahead of yourself.
I'm not sure I even like it.

And besides, the leasing office
already said

they're not gonna go
month-to-month.

What if I don't have a job
in six months?

Why wouldn't you have a job?

You're not getting fired
or something, are you?

I just think that maybe
the job's harder

than I thought it would be.

The first year's always hard.

It just takes some time
to find your sea legs.

You just gotta hang in there.

My probationary year
is almost over.

Shouldn't I have
found them by now?

Maybe... I'm just not
cut out for this.

Come on. You're my brother.

You were born to do this,
just like me.

Still don't like the place.

Then we'll keep looking,
all right, little brother?

(beeps)

(sighs)

Terry? (Sighs)

Must we commit
to going paperless

on a day
when my tablet is acting up?

- Again?
- It's probably user error. Again.

I'll take a look
when I'm done moving these,

and you guys wanted
to go paperless.

Correction. He did.

I didn't realize
it was going to be a parade.

Scanner's on two, so we have

to bring paperwork
from high and low, literally.

It's more like a ballet.

How about more Twyla
and less Fosse?

I'll try.

After I Google what that means.

- How's your coffee?
- (chuckles)

I have to say, I never thought...
Not in a million years...

That I would love
a super food creamer made

from coconut milk
and marine algae.

The algae's where
they get the calcium.

(laughing):
You truly have become one of us.

Yeah.

But maybe you're not planning
on being one of us forever?

Uh...

the whole desk thing is still
a little new to me.

I'm used to being out there,
riding the rig,

- slinging the hoses, working up a sweat.
- You don't work up

- a sweat slinging tweets?
- Different kind of sweat.

(laughs)
When I was in my 20s,

my mother liked
to say, repeatedly,

"Linda, you can tie yourself
in knots

"trying to find a career
that suits you,

"but at the end of the day,
God will tell you where you need

- to be in this world."
- Mm.

- Well, I hope he gives me a shout soon.
- Yeah.

You took my ambulance?!

Excuse you?

- You redirected my ambulance.
- That unit

was closer to a higher priority

emergency,
a bigger casualty risk.

But I'd already told my caller
that...

- Did you get a unit there?
- Yes.

And was your victim alive
when you disconnected?

(scoffs)
That's not the point.

But it is, sweetie.
That's exactly the point.

We're not children here
competing for the best LEGOs

to build our pretend
skyscrapers with.

- We are a team.
- Is that what we are?

- We're a team? Why didn't I think of that?
- I don't know.

Youth? Inexperience?

- Indifference? You tell me.
- No.

The rest of us are a team,
but you're not.

- Sweetie...
- I'm not your sweetie!

Enough! Come with me.

- Get your girl, Sue.
- SUE: Both of you. Let's go.

Terry, it's not even lunch yet,
and I am having a day.

My tablet won't work, I've got
boxes all over my call center.

How else are you going to turn
my world upside down?

Can I help you?

- You're not Terry.
- No.

- He just took off.
- Okay.

I'll just, uh...

Who are you?

Carson. I'm installing
the new clean agent system.

Oh. Clean agents.

Much better than
the dirty agent, am I right?

Right.

(metallic clacking nearby)

It's a fire suppression system.

Oh, I'm aware. Dispatchers know
all about this stuff.

It uses the inert gas to suck
all the oxygen out of the room.

Thought only my mother
could do that.

It would suffocate her
pretty quick.

Yeah, leaves you breathless
I guess.

Always wondered
what that felt like.

(clears throat)
Oh, I should introduce myself.

- I'm...
- Josh.

Wait. You know my name?

Terry was giving me
the grand tour yesterday,

and, um, I asked about you.

- You seem really good at what you do.
- Thanks.

I, uh... I'm gonna go down
to the basement

- and connect power to this thing.
- Yeah, I'll go with you.

Uh, to the elevator.

Isn't Dispatch upstairs?

Yeah, you know what?
You're right.

- (chuckles)
- Nice meeting you, clean agent, uh...

- Carson.
- Yeah.

I'm much nicer
than that other agent.

- Oh. Yeah.
- (laughs)

Nice. You got us sent
to the principal's office.

Shouldn't have stolen
my ambulance.

Oh, are you feeling nostalgic
for middle school again?

You only graduated,
what, last week?

Give it a rest.

(Claudette chuckles)

Well, this is tragic.

Oh, you want
to know what's tragic?

The fact
that you're still talking.

- (scoffs) Finally.
- And you.

I expected more from you.

So, welcome to the quiet room.

Designed for dispatchers
who need

a little time off the floor,

or in this case, a time-out.

(buzzing)

(beeps)

Carson,

I just got an alert about
the fire suppression system.

(rhythmic beeping)

What the hell?

(rhythmic beeping continues)

Oh!

(electrical hissing)

(screaming)

What is that?

(electrical buzzing)

(sighs)

Well, I need to go and check
on whatever that was.

Try not to kill each other
while I'm gone.

We can't spare the resources.

(hissing)

No! No!

- (knocking) - Hey.
- Hey.

- Did you get it, too?
- Yeah, power surge.

- No, this alert.
- "Fire suppression system."

Is that the sprinklers
or the new CAS?

It's that, uh, waterless system.

Yeah, sucks all the oxygen
out of a room.

I met the guy
who was installing it.

Hmm. If you met him,
you should go talk to him.

Oh, uh, I-I can't.

I've-I've got the floor,
and Sue is dealing with, um...

- Oh. Yeah, I heard it.
- Everyone heard.

All right, I'm on it.

Great.

(gasping)

(coughing)

(elevator bell dings)

(beeping)

Terry?! Terry?!

(alarm buzzing)

All right, come on, Terry.

Terry? Hey, there we go.

- Terry, can you hear me?
- Yeah. Yeah.

System shorted out.

Couldn't make it to the door.

Hmm.

Okay.

All right. (Panting)

- Can you hold yourself up?
- Yeah.

All right.

(Terry panting)

Be right back.

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.
This is

Firefighter Eddie Diaz
on a department-wide channel.

We have a fire
at Metro Dispatch downtown.

Point of origin appears to be on
the second floor records room.

All non-essential personnel
begin

evacuation procedures.

Repeat.
This is Firefighter Eddie Diaz.

Metro Dispatch is on fire.

Why is this even in here?

Okay. How long before you think
we can head back there

and just tell them
we worked it all out?

I have no idea.

Okay, you know what?
We need a plan.

Let me see if I can figure out
how to save the day again.

And don't worry. You can take
all the credit again, too.

Are you really seriously about
to throw another temper tantrum?

- I did not throw a tantrum!
- Rock a bye baby.

Listen, we are now
in the quiet room,

so you might want
to use this time

to be alone
with your thoughts.

So allow me
to provide you with one.

You stood in the middle
of the floor

yelling and lecturing me

about not being a team player.

And yet,
your panties are all in a bunch

because you didn't get
the credit.

Let me tell you something,
baby girl.

There's no "I" in "team."

Think about that.

(sirens wailing)

All right, guys,
let's get ready to go.

Captain Shore.

Captain Nash.
You're first on the scene.

- BOBBY: Eddie.
- Records room on the second floor

is fully involved.

Fire could spread to the third
floor. That's the main floor.

Hen. The clean agent system
knocked him out for a second.

He took in a lot of gas, but

there could be
a lingering narcotic effect.

- Okay, I got him.
- Okay, Hen, I want you

to set up a triage area
in the parking garage next door.

Copy that, Cap.
I'm gonna need a hand.

It is Monday.

Fine. You'll do.

- Happy to help.
- HEN: All right, let's go.

Jonah, take Meyers
and Ortiz with you.

Okay. Come on, guys.

What do you think?
Triage over there,

so they could put
the command center here?

- Yeah, works for me. I'll get it rolling.
- Okay. Come on.

So let's get these vehicles
removed.

I want immediate,
minor and delayed over here,

command post officers
and assistants over there.

There's going to be a lot
of smoke inhalation,

so stack up the O2 bottles
as the rescues respond in.

And give me plenty of room
to work.

I need my space.

I want crews
at the Delta side, as well.

Chimney, put together a team
from the 133, raise the ladders

and start hitting
that corner window.

Copy that.
Han, you're with me.

Guess we're working together.
Should be fun.

- Rookie, do everything I tell you to do.
- Or not.

Buck, Lucy, suit up.
You're going inside.

You're gonna hit the fire
at the source on two.

- Go.
- Go.

(sighs)

You're right.

I wanted the credit.
The validation, I guess.

And... maybe it was me
being all Gen-Z, but

I was trying
to stand up for everybody.

You know, we don't do enough
of that in this world.

That's kind of deep.

For real.

Hmm.

- You should have read my college essay.
- Wait.

Why aren't you in college?

Why do you care?

Girl.

I wasn't ready to go.

I just needed more time,
but now I'm out of time,

and USC sent me this letter,
and they want me to make

my decision, and I'm still
trying to figure out what to do.

(sighs)

You should quit.

Yeah, you would love that.

No, I wouldn't.

I told you once

that I saw greatness in you.

And you know I don't say
anything I don't mean.

But maybe your greatness
is meant for something else.

- Like what?
- I don't know.

And you don't know, either.

'Cause you've got
your whole life ahead of you.

Get the hell out of here
and go to college.

Hang around with some people
your own age.

Fill your head
with some knowledge,

and do some things.
Some crazy things,

some courageous things,

and maybe even
some naughty things.

(both chuckle)

Because... this job,

it comes with a price,

and it's a heavy one.

And it's also one I never want
to see you have to pay.

You know I'm right.

Because you're always right.

Yeah, and because
if you were sure

you wanted to be a dispatcher
for the rest of your life,

you'd have already thrown
that letter away.

Captain Nash,
my people are initializing

our disaster protocols, which
means they're gonna need help

turning a sizable part
of that parking garage

into a mobile dispatch center
so we can keep taking calls.

- How's the volume?
- Oh, it's unusually high.

There's no way that Valley can
handle all the traffic. (Coughs)

Contact Paramedic Greenway
from the 133 and coordinate

- with him.
- Any of my people can help you set up.

Well, thank you.
Oh, I also have

five of my senior dispatchers
still taking calls upstairs.

Unless the fire's encroaching,
they won't stand down till

we get the trunk line
connected.

You said senior dispatchers.

So May has been evacuated?

She's still up there?

I put her in the quiet room
with Claudette.

I am so sorry. With all
this craziness, I forgot.

- Where is this quiet room?
- It's on the third floor.

- It's behind main dispatch.
- That's just above the source

- of the fire.
- SUE: What?! - Eddie, get some turnouts.

Now. Go. Captain Shore,
I'm passing the baton.

You're the new IC.
I'm going in.

Why is Cap going in?

May's still up there.

Feels like
I'm missing something.

Family history.

Let's go.

BOBBY: Don a to, you're with me.
Eddie, you're with Buck.

Let's hit it.

Why it so hot in here?

Yeah.

- It's hotter on this side.
- Yeah.

It feels like it's coming
from someplace over here.

Something's wrong.
Something's very wrong.

MAY:
Claudette, get back.

(echoes):
Claudette, get back.

Get back!

(muttering):
I don't like fire.

I don't like it.
I don't like fire.

I don't like fire.

TAYLOR:
If you're just joining us,

the Downtown
Metro Dispatch Center

has suffered some kind
of power surge

which, as you can see,

has sparked a fire
inside the building.

Evacuations are in progress,

although I'm hearing
that the danger

has not spread to the
actual dispatch floor yet.

(coughing) There's no way out
the other direction.

(panting)

Both hallways
are fully involved.

But somebody's got
to be coming for us.

Nobody's coming.
They can't save us.

Claudette, we're in
the 911 call center.

Someone should be
coming to find us.

Okay, give me your jacket
so I can wet it.

Come on! Give me your jacket.

(coughing)

Oh, my God. Claudette.

I don't like fire.
(sniffles)

- Sue, I'm fine now. I can help.
- Oh, good.

So, I've reconciled the duty
roster and the visitor log.

Everybody in the building
is accounted for

except for May and Claudette.

I know they're gonna
get them out of there.

So, this is the only other name.
He signed in this morning.

Carson. Yeah, he was installing
the clean agent system.

When was the last time
you saw him?

I don't remember.

Okay, let's go.

SHORE:
This is Captain Shore.

I need two firefighters
for search and rescue.

Worker named Carson Hayes,

last seen on level two,
could still be in the building.

This is Diaz.
Buckley and I are on two.

We swept the whole floor.

This is dispatcher Russo.

- I think I know where he is.
- Go ahead, Josh.

He told me he was going
to the basement

to connect power to the system.

It's probably
the electrical vault.

I can meet you on two
and take you down there.

Negative, we got this. Buck!

- Take this for me.
- I got it.

But I-I'm right
by the fire stairs.

I-I could be
down there right away.

Josh, you're a dispatcher,
not a firefighter.

Today, you're a guest
in this house.

He's been waiting months
to say that.

SUE:
Captain Shore, good news.

Mobile dispatch
is almost ready to go live.

SHORE:
Maybe not that ready.

Fire's broke through
to the third floor.

That roof might be compromised.

Along with that radio tower.

SUE:
Well, that's our only connection

to every truck, ladder
and ambulance in the city.

And not just downtown.

- Valley, too?
- All of it.

SUE: If that tower goes,
it doesn't matter

how many calls we take.

We can't send anyone
to rescue anyone anywhere.

Han brothers, take this ladder,
reposition it to the roof.

Take a team up there
and start venting it.

- And secure that tower.
- Copy that.

Albert.

All right, Albert,
once I clear this area,

- you're good to go!
- ALBERT: Copy that.

CHIMNEY:
All right.

Get me ventilation
here to there. Move!

How we doing up there, Han?

If we bind the straps
to the base of this tower,

think we'll be golden.

What do you think
about over there?

CHIMNEY:
Sounds like a plan.

Albert!

- Albert.
- (grunts)

- Are you okay? Are you hurt?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

- I'm fine.
- Are you sure?

You're not dizzy? Can you see?
How many of me are there?

Thankfully just the one.
I couldn't handle more of you.

(Claudette coughing)

I don't know why
the sprinklers aren't on.

- It's getting closer.
- You think it's gonna knock?

It goes everywhere,
eats everything.

- Claudette.
- Smells like meat.

When it cooks you,

and your-your blood burns, too.

- That smells like copper.
- Claudette.

Can't forget that smell.

Sometimes I remember,

comes out of nowhere.

- Hits like a...
- (fire whooshes)

(Claudette grunts)

Claudette, listen to me.

You didn't die then,
and you're not gonna die now.

Don't worry, don't worry.
It only hurts for a sec.

Then it takes
your nerve endings out.

You won't feel a thing.
You won't...

You won't feel a thing, o-okay?

No, you won't feel it.
We won't feel it.

We won't feel...

LUCY: Cap, we can't
get to them this way.

(echoing):
Cap.

Cap? What's the plan?

EDDIE:
This way, this way, this way.

Josh said he's
in the electrical vault.

Okay. Here we are.

Got him.

- Carson?
- Yeah. How'd you know?

Josh let us know
you're down here.

- CARSON: Josh? I'm glad he remembered.
- Let me guess.

- Arc blast?
- Yeah. The suppression blanket took the hit.

I got too close.

I crawled over here
to get my phone.

Well, we're on no signal
down here.

(screams)
My leg really hurts.

BP is 130/80.

Little high.
We're gonna give you

something for the pain, Carson.

- Should kick in soon.
- Oh, please.

EDDIE: I'm also gonna need to cut
through this pant leg.

Do what you got to do.

I gave up trying
to yell for help.

- What's going on up there?
- BUCK: Uh, well,

the building's on fire.

Well, that's not embarrassing.

Arc blast is not your fault.

This is a very old building.

Who knows what kind of faulty
wiring was down here?

(grunts) Oh!

Why did I tell you to do that?

Hey, I know it looks bad,
but not a lot of blood.

That's a good thing.

Oh, isn't that always
a good thing?

EDDIE:
(chuckles) You got me there.

How's that morphine?

Good.

Okay, we're gonna splint this

and we're gonna get you
out of here.

Can they fix it,
or am I gonna be

the next contestant
on So You Think You Can Sit?

Now, listen, I had
an entire fire truck

fall on my leg,
and hey, look at me now.

That sounds horrible.

No, horrible was
the blood clots you get after.

Mine was in my lung.
I was coughing up blood.

- And they put you on these blood thinners and...
- Buck.

You guys should take
this act on the road.

Let's get you out of here first.

BOBBY:
May!

May! May, can you hear me?

(thudding)

BOBBY (distant):
May! May!

SHORE:
Let's knock it down quick

and get this area ready
for extraction.

(coughing)
Help is here.

Come on, it's time to go.

Josh, we're on-line down here,
ready to cut the power.

- Start wrapping it up up there.
- Copy that. Wait for my signal.

All right, anyone who's ready,
let's hit the stairs.

I'm not going anywhere, sir.

- Linda.
- I can't leave.

Elderly man went out on a walk
in the Palisades.

Wandered into Will Rogers Park,
can't find his way back.

Any luck on a location?

He's not near
any major cell towers.

All units responding
to the Westbrook Avenue section

- of Pacific Palisades, please report.
- (explosion overhead)

Linda, we got to go.

ATHENA:
727-L-30 on scene.

- I've got the subject.
- Terry, we're on the move.

Cut the generator.

(coughs)

You can't win. It doesn't care.

So that's it.

You're just a playground bully

that likes to pick
on little kids

to feel better about herself.

It's actually pretty pathetic.

You don't like me
because I'm younger

and more competent
than you ever were.

And yeah, people like me, a lot.

So just lay there and die like
the old dinosaur that you are.

Y-You're such a baby girl...

And you just want to die?

You want to die?

Answer me! Do you want to die?!

- No.
- Then move your ass.

Now!

- BOBBY: Okay.
- (coughing)

Hey, all right.

Let's get her some O2.

All right, all right.

Breathe. You're okay.
Here we go.

I got you.

BOBBY:
Are you okay?

MAY:
Better now.

(screams)

Keep moving, keep moving!

- May, don't tell your mother about that.
- Okay.

(coughing)

Almost out!

Go. I'll wait for Cap and May.

Han, you good?

- Yeah.
- All right, nice work!

Let's get out of here!

Albert!

Go, go, go!

CHIMNEY:
I got you.

- I got you.

(May screaming)

SHORE:

We have a major
structural collapse.

All teams evacuate
the building and report in.

MORRISON: This is Morrison, 133.
We're clear.

Cap!

(distant siren wailing)

QUINTANA:
Quint an a, 118.

- Cap!
- We're in the parking garage. We're clear.

Cap!

MITCHELL: Mitchell, 118. We're
clear of the exit on the Baker side.

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

Captain Nash is down.

Captain Nash
is down.

I need firefighters
and equipment

- on the third floor now.
- Double-time it.

- Hey.
- Hey, May.

She took in a lot of smoke.

We're going to use
a nebulizer to give her

- some medicine for her lungs.
- Okay.

Hey.
(chuckles)

You were a real bad ass in there.

- (laughs softly)
- Sounded like me.

I figured you were
the only person you'd listen to.

(chuckles)

Just make sure I get the credit.

Well, you finally earned it.

Wait, that's my dad.
I want to ride with him.

You didn't have to lie.

I wasn't.

I have two dads
and you're one of them.

(indistinct radio chatter)

- SUE: You doing okay?
- Yeah.

Fine.

Cleared for duty
by the paramedics.

Why don't you take five, anyway?
Looks like you could use it.

You know what?

I'm gonna take you up on that.

(sniffles)

Oh, wait.

Do we do background checks
when we hire contractors?

Yes. They're quite extensive.

Great.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Terrible at my job?

- I think this whole thing is my fault.
- Oh...

Are you kidding?

This building is... was ancient.

We were due for an upgrade.

Upgrades used to be
my specialty.

There's no reason
why they still can't be.

Hey.

How you doing?

Thought I lost you there
for a second.

Me, too.

You know how they say
your, uh, whole life

flashes before your eyes?

Mine kind of sucked.

(laughs softly)

Albert, I'm sorry.

- Oh, it's not your fault.
- No, it was.

- You never should've been on that roof.
- Howard, it...

You were trying to tell me
something the other day,

and I wasn't ready to hear it.

(sighs)
You know, me and Pop

have never really had
a great relationship,

and I know that he thinks me
being a firefighter

is the stupidest thing
I've ever done.

It's not stupid.

You're a hero.

And you're my brother, so...

...you looking up to me, wanting
to follow in my footsteps...

...it meant the world to me,
you know?

That's actually why I didn't
want to disappoint you so badly.

Just wish I could be half
as good at this as you are.

Hey, listen.

Don't settle for being
half of anything, okay?

Go out there and be something
that allows you

to be a hundred percent you.

What are you saying?

I'm saying I love you.

And I want you to quit.

If that's what you want.

(laughs)

(exhales)

This is silly. I feel
like I just pulled something.

We will let
the MRI confirm that.

Don't need an MRI,
just need some ibuprofen.

- Is he kidding right now?
- No.

He is a terrible patient.

Look, you are getting that MRI,
even if I have to throw you

in the machine
kicking and screaming.

Listen, Sergeant...
(grunts)

All right, all right.
I won't be doing any kicking.

Exactly. A roof fell on you.

I am fine.
This is not a big deal.

It was to me.

You saved my life.

So please, get the damn MRI.

Okay.

Well, this is what I get
for disobeying your orders.

You did tell me
not to go down there.

I'm so glad you did, Papa Bear.

Lucy Don a to.

- I'm Taylor...
- Taylor Kelly.

Yeah. Heard a lot about you.

Same.

Uh, did you want a comment?

You don't know
what the 118 means to him.

I know all firefighters,

they live together
and work together and...

probably do feel like a family
some of the time.

But for Buck,
that firehouse is his family.

When things gets messy
at the 118, he falls apart.

I'd hate for things
to get messy again.

She's a peach.

Hey, so, uh, he-he...
He's good, right?

He had some pain
in his leg on the way in.

- Might be a pinched nerve.
- Mm.

Well, with all
that he's been through,

he's lucky
that's all that it is.

Yeah, I think a lot of people
got lucky today.

JONAH:
Coming through!

Come on! Come on. Come on.

- Give me something.
- Decompressions.

- Wh...
- JONAH: I got her.

HEN:
Jonah!

- You're gonna make it!
- Jonah.

- She coded in the ambulance.
- DOCTOR: What happened?

Patient suffered cardiac arrest
en route. No pulse.

- How long has she been down?
- 12 minutes.

DOCTOR:
Let's call it.

(panting)

Jonah, what happened?

She was fine when I left triage.

Pressure bottomed out.

Couldn't get her rhythm back.

It's weird.

I should've been able
to save her.

I usually save them.

Hen.

She was fine.
I-I don't understand.

Neither do I.

It was weird.

It was weird, or he was weird?

"I should have
been able to save her."

That's what he said.

Like she was
a math problem or...

a missed point in a tennis match
and-and not a human being.

Well, maybe that's just
how he packs it away.

There's packing away
and there's throwing away.

Look, you always say
that when you're out there,

all you've got
is your instincts.

And truth is,
you've never liked the guy.

So maybe there's a reason why.

I think there is.
