Station 19 (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - Nothing Seems the Same - full transcript

When the COVID-19 pandemic hits Seattle, the Station 19 crew leans on each other for support. Andy tries to make sense of her mother's return. And it's all-hands-on-deck when a group of teenagers unintentionally starts a wild fire.

Previously on "Station 19"...
ANDY: There's no way out. I'm trapped.

You're not well.
You can't... Exactly.

That's why I'm gonna
save my daughter's life.

ANDY: Tía Sandra sent me
a birthday card every year

from age 10 to 15.

He kept those from me.

I thought my parents
were happy.

And now I think
maybe she killed herself.

Where's my girlfriend?

You have a girlfriend? Sasha!

Actually knew what you
were doing. It was pretty hot.



I think you should
move out.

Alright, we're here today

to teach you the basics
of wildfire training.

In the case of a wildland fire
anywhere on the West Coast,

we call on you to help back up
the fire companies.

Questions?
Yes?

Yeah, what fire station
you work at?

My cousin, he works at, uh,
SFD... What is it? 23.

Name's Barnes.

Yeah,
he's a good firefighter.

Yeah,
you work with him?

We work for a company
called Mavis.

It's a private
fire company.

[CHUCKLES]
The hell does that mean?

Means we get paid more
than your cousin.

What it means
is that private clientele

hire us
to protect their property.

Now, what we're gonna
teach you today

is called an anchor, flank,
and pinch drill.

It's the most useful tactic
you will learn today.

A reminder that
the virtual memorial service

for Captain Herrera will
take place this afternoon.

I can't believe after all
the crap we went through

to get him his
Line of Duty funeral,

we have to do it on the
frickin' Internet. Agreed.

Tell me again why we can't
just wait until after lockdown.

I mean,
he was cremated anyway.

'Cause we don't know when
"after lockdown's" gonna be.

Can't be more than
a couple weeks, right?

Yeah, you just keep
telling yourself that.

Sorry!
Sorry I'm late!

Miller, Miller, you touch it,
you clean it.

Thanks for the reminder,
Dad.

[LAUGHTER]

[LAUGHS MOCKINGLY]

Six feet apart.
Come on.

Come on.
We live together.

Temporarily.
Just don't be mad, Dad.

Wow. Okay, look... look, guys,
it's not that hard.

19 is your household,

so you don't have to wear masks
in here,

but you do still have to
keep your distance.

That is a great segue.

Hughes, when are you gonna
get your crap out of my place?

[KLAXONS SOUND]

DISPATCH: Aid car requested
to Black Ball Hill rest area.

You guys are lucky
I'm not your dad,

'cause if I was,
you'd show more respect.

Larson, six feet.

Have a good day, Dad!
Love you.

So, Sasha offered to stay
with me, help out with Pru.

Also known as
moving in with you?

No. We are just
quarantining together.

That's it.
Okay.

Same way as before.

You just text each other

This guy's profile

interested in snakes as a hobby,

One of you
call in a burn?

Yeah.
One of us did.

Well, I'm sorry, you shouldn't be
messing around with health stuff.

Well, then maybe
you shouldn't have come.

VIC: Did you call us?
You hurt?

Uh, no.
Billie is.

Okay, can you put your mask on

We broke down on our way back
from... my mom's house.

Mom's house, huh?

All of you?

Uh, yeah.

Wouldn't be breaking quarantine
to party, would you?

Yeah, your parents know
you're out here?

Where are your masks?
They're in the car.

I mean, you weren't even wearing
them in the car, either.

Well, you know what?
We work together, so...

TRAVIS: Yeah.
Which makes us a bubble.

What is your name?
Uh, Kayden.

It's my car.

Okay. Hey, come here.
What happened?

Oh, I thought maybe
the car overheated,

so I opened up the radiator cap,
and, um...

Ooh. Ouch.
Okay.

Well, next time, wait for
the car to cool down first.

What's your name again?
Billie.

Billie. Sweet.
I'm Vic.

You boys haven't been drinking,

Oh, I'm not a boy.

Billie's nonbinary.

Oh. Got it.
Sorry about that.

My bad.
I'm Travis.

He/him. Sometimes she.
[SNAPS FINGERS]

I'm gonna... Should I...
I'm gonna check the car.

The purpose of the anchor point
is to prevent the fire

from burning around the end
of the control line,

possibly outflanking
the suppression crew,

which is you guys.

Alright?

Good job.

Let's take five.

Stay where
I can see you.

I hate this crap.

What? Drills?

No.

Working
with criminals.

You know they're human beings
who made mistakes

and now have the opportunity
to learn a skill

that will help
the society they hurt?

Yeah, I guess you would have to
look at it that way, huh?

Why would I have to
look at it that way?

Come on, man.

Half these dudes are in here
for selling plants, but you...

You steal Schedule II narcotics
off an aid car?

What?
You thought I didn't know?

Come on, man.
Everybody talks.

And everybody knows.

My only question is, how'd you
manage not to get locked up in here?

NELLIGAN: Are you sure?

Could you do the test
just to be sure?

Mr. Nelligan, the COVID tests
are in short supply right now,

so we have to limit them
to people with symptoms.

You know, I think
I feel my throat

closing up
just a tiny bit.

[CHUCKLES] Well, then I
suggest you walk three blocks

down the road
to Grey-Sloan.

And risk getting it
from someone there?

Mr. Nelligan, it's the same
as I told you last week.

The best thing you can do
is stay home,

wear a mask
if you do go outside,

and stay six feet away
from anyone else, okay?

Fine.
Fine.

I don't know
what I pay taxes for

if I can't get a test
during a pandemic.

Tell me again
what my dad said to you

before he went up
that ladder.

He said, "Tell Andrea
everything I did... ".

"Everything I did,
I did because I loved her."

Right?

Are you gonna put it
in the eulogy?

Elena:
Don't you want to sit?

Did my father beat you?

Did he...
Did he torture you?

Was... Was he a monster
and I just never knew it?

No. I was overwhelmed
from the minute you were born.

I-I was in over my head.
I-I...

I never planned to be a mother,
but I loved you.

I-I love you.

I just wanted
to fight fires,

and I know that you
get that, m'ija.

Can you not
call me that?

Papi calls me that.

I got pregnant,
and I thought I was wrong.

I was told I was wrong.

I was told that I would
love being a mother.

ELENA: I was told that
the minute I held you in my arms

that I would forget about
every dream I had before you,

but that didn't happen.

You were born,
and I loved you,

but I also resented you,

and I resented your father

for getting to do the one thing
we both wanted to do.

I was so depressed.

I became unstable,
self-loathing, angry, violent.

And that was
a different time.

No one ever talked about
mental health back then,

especially not
for mothers.

I felt hopeless.
I felt like a failure.

I wanted to die because
there was no way out.

There was not a way out
that wouldn't destroy you.

But I loved you.

I still love you, Andy.

W-Where...
Where did you go?

I went to New York,
where my cousins lived.

I fought fires for two years,
and then I injured out.

I need you to understand

that this is the biggest shame
of my life.

Biggest shame.

But not
your biggest regret.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

You...
You aren't sorry.

You're not...
You're not sorry, are you?

- Of course I am. But you.
- - But you haven't said that.

You've said a lot of things
tonight,

but you haven't said,
"I'm sorry for leaving you

and letting you think
I was dead."

Well, I didn't know...

You didn't know
that faking your own death

would make me think
you were dead?!

It's rehabilitation.

Nah.

I told you, I was not in the right
mind... Well, which one was it?

Were you mentally ill,

I got my first period
the day before my 12th birthday.

I thought
I had pooped myself.

Ah, no one told me what
to expect or when to expect it.

I just woke up one day,

and there was
this dark brown stuff

all over the sheets
and in my underwear.

I was mortified.

I balled up all the bedding
and all my clothes

and shoved them
in the washing machine

and poured so much
detergent in there

that the machine jammed
and overflowed with suds.

Papi came home from a shift
that morning and yelled so loud.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

But then when he realized
what happened, he said,

"M'ija, you stay here.

I'm going to the store.

I'll clean this up
when I get back."

Ugh.

He came back with
[CHUCKLES]

13 different brands
and sizes of pads.

And then he sat me down

and explained what was
happening to my body.

He didn't judge me
or act disgusted.

But he cried.

He cried through
the entire thing.

I always remembered
those tears

streaming
down his cheeks.

And all this time,
I thought he was just sad

that his little girl
was growing up.

Until just now.
[SCOFFS SOFTLY]

I realized he was crying

because he knew my mother
was out there somewhere,

choosing
not to be my mother.

He came to get me.

I guess you were
about 12.

He came to New York
to help firefighters.

He showed up on my cousin's
doorstep one night

covered in white ash,
demanding to see me.

He got on his knees, sobbed
and begged me to come home.

He said he would
take all the blame,

that he just wanted you

If you're watching this,
my dad was probably your hero.

He was mine.

He was a great firefighter

but an even better Captain.

He brought the best
out of everyone

by demanding nothing less.

He was a natural leader,

as anyone who's ever
worked with him knows.

He built great firefighters,
future Captains.

Maybe even future Chiefs.

But beyond that, he was
the best father he could be,

and that wasn't easy to do,
especially on his own.

My dad was faced with
some pretty terrible choices

when I was a kid.

But he did what he thought
was best for me at the time.

Every time.

He chose to protect me
above all else.

And while he may have
made mistakes...

I have no doubt
he'd make them all again

if he thought
it was best for me.

It wasn't easy growing up
without my mom

and without siblings,

but what I've come to realize
is my dad did his best

to give me family.

He created a home at Station 19.

And everyone under his roof
was his kid.

[LAUGHS]

So he may have spent years

protecting me from pain
and burying his own,

but he did his best to give me
the gift of a group of people

who I feel closer to than
any blood brother or sister.

He did his best.

He did his best by me.

He loved me.

He stayed.

He stayed with me
every minute he could

until he had to leave me
to save me one last time.
