- Good morning.
- Hey, morning.



I need one of
your Sully pep talks.

Oh, okay.

I have to deliver a lot
of bad news this morning,

and contrary to what many
in this department may think,

I don't actually enjoy
doing that.

Alright, well...

you are
Natasha Seo-yeon Ross.

You are powerful.
You are impressive.

You are inspiring.

You are...
You're beautiful.

And all who meet you
admire you.

You were put here
to do a job,

because no one else can do
this job better than you,

and everyone sees it.



And if they don't,
screw them,

because they weren't gonna be
of use to you anyway.

This is good.
This is good.

Keep it coming.

Well, you are faster,
you're stronger,

you're smarter
than most guys out there.

Who gives a crap
what's under your cam is?

Look, if they want to cry
and say

that's why Sarge picked you
as my spotter, let them.

In fairness to them,
we are close. People talk.

Look, Tash,
the facts are these:

You earned your promotion

because you are better
than them, period.

But if they want to give you
flak for that,

it's because
they're sexist,

which means
they're stupid,

which means they're not
gonna last long in the Marines.

Thanks,
Lance Corporal.

You don't have to
call me that.

Alright.

Thanks, Sully.

How long have we been
out here now?

Six hours, man.

Movement.

Mm.

It's just
a delivery bike.

Is it true, uh,
Chief Ross is coming in today?

Yep, she is.

I'm obsessed with her.

Ex-military,
first female chief of SFD,

and a Black woman.

Yeah, she is impressive.

It's just...

I don't know,
s-seeing female leadership

in the department is important,
you know?

It's someone
to look up to.

Are you...

Hey, Chief's here.

Chief, good morning.

Hi, uh, so, before you make
any announcements,

can we revisit
the conversation?

Look, it's...
It's a really good house.

Herrera, I try not to make
a habit of waffling.

You make a decision,
you stand by it, good or bad.

Chief...

- Morning.
- Morning.

I won't take up
too much of your time.

I want to thank you all
for your hard work

and your dedication
to this community,

but it pains me
to inform you

that Station 23
will be closing.

- What?
- What?

- Are you kidding me?
- We're closing?

Hey, hey.
23, your Chief is speaking.

I understand
this isn't great news.

You'll finish out the week,
then Stations 19 and 57

will be absorbing
your call district.

Some of you
will be reassigned.

I know you have questions,
and I want to assure you,

the department
is here for you.

Here for us?

- Yeah, Chief, I have a question.
- Hmm?

Why?

I'm sorry, folks.
You have done good work.

In the end,
this is just about numbers.

Look at 19.

Their Crisis One program
and the new clinic

reduced low acuity calls
by an estimated 29%.

That frees up
a lot of time,

and we found that we don't need
two stations so close together.

You'll be receiving
your reassignments

or your severance notices
by the end of the week,

after the closing ceremony.

In the meantime,
keep serving Seattle,

like you always have.

Thank you.

So this is 19's fault,
huh?

That's not
what she said.

Are you kidding?
Is this a joke?

Oh, Warren and Dr. Bailey
have that meeting

with the Millers today.

I swear, if we don't get
that baby, I am going to sue.

You want
some more coffee?

No, I'm drinking...
tea.

Glad to see you're handling
the breakup so well.

Wait, they finally broke up?

Yeah, they did.

Is it a breakup if neither of
you say the words "break up"?

Mm, when's the last time
you spoke to him?

Three days ago, when he said,
"Don't ever call me again."

Yeah, that sounds exactly like
a breakup.

Oh, my God.
They're shutting 23 down.

What?

Just like that?
Shutting it down?

They can do that?

This is all the information
I have.

"Chief just showed up
and shut us down."

So... like, what now?

Does Herrera come back?
Does Theo come here?

Oh, God.
I hope not.

Couples that work together
never work out. That's all...

That's not true!
Michael and I.

Herrera and Sullivan?
Herrera and Gibson?

- Gibson and Bishop?
- Okay, I'm feeling a little attacked.

- You and Emmett.
- Okay, those are good points.

Yeah.

Crisis One requested
to 328 Birch Pond Street.

- Great, speaking of Emmett.
- See?

This is why you shouldn't
work with boyfriends.

'Cause boyfriends become
ex-boyfriends.

Hey.
You're gonna do great.

I am great.
I just need the Chief to see it.

I thought you were going to a meeting.
I was.

And then I got drunk.

Well, I-I guess
you need another meeting.

This how
it's gonna be now?

You keeping tabs on me
every day?

You know 23 got shut down,
right?

Budget cuts?

Which means the department
is sniffing out

any little problem
at a station,

and we are all under
a microscope.

If you don't
get your act right,

you're gonna get 19
shut down.

By "department,"
do you mean your lady friend?

She's not gonna do that
to you.

You know,
with 23 closing,

there are two captains
who need new assignments,

and you're not well.

You need to get well
before you hit a bottom

you can't come back from.

*STATION 19
Season 05 Episode 13

Episode Title:
"Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire"

Aired on:
March 24, 2022.

I mean, maybe we should
just report our relationship

to the department so they're
forced to keep us apart?

Hey, have you asked Theo

if he even wants
to transfer to 19?

Well, why wouldn't he?
Everybody does.

I called the police.

Yes, we are Seattle Fire.

I'm Travis, and you are...

Virginia.
There's no fire.

I just need a tenant
kicked out.

Uh, okay, well, we have
a-a program called Crisis One

that handles special cases
like this.

"Special case"?
It's just my bum tenant, Alan.

He didn't pay
last month's rent,

and now he's late
on this month's.

- Okay.
- Been banging on his door,

but he's obviously
dodging me.

Oka... Well, have you
tried entering?

Not allowed.

This state, I swear.

Hey, when was the last time
you saw him enter or exit?

A month or so ago,
but he's smart.

He knows the minute
that he leaves...

I am going
to be changing the locks!

Alan!
Hey!

People are here
to kick your ass out!

- N-No.
- You better either have a check

or your crap packed up
and ready to beat it!

Okay. Virginia.

- Thank you.
- Virginia, please.

We will take it from there.

Hey.
Sorry, traffic.

Oh, now, who's this?

Uh, well, this is our
trained civilian responder,

Emmett Dixon.
Whatever.

- Just get his ass out of there.
- Okay.

Hi.
H-Hi.

Alan?
Alan, are you home?

This is Seattle Fire!

We're not police,
so you don't have to be scared.

- Halligan?
- Oh, Halligan, yeah.

Okay.

I'm gonna, um...

Hey, Vic? Hey, wait up.
Wait up, wait.

Look, I know everyone's
feeling punched in the gut,

but we have to remember...

we're still Station 23
firefighters,

and until those doors are
chained up and we're locked out,

- we still have a job to do.
- Would you just stop?

You never wanted to be here
in the first place.

You've been trying
to jump ship since day one.

Hey, Cap. Any way you can
take me to 19 with you?

- Duval.
- I...

Look, I don't know
where I'll end up,

same as everyone else.

Ladder 23, Engine 23,

and Aid Car 23 requested
at 460 Ryder Avenue.

You know, she probably
volunteered to give us the axe

so that she could go back
to her precious 19.

Bet you're right.

You're an excellent firefighter,
excellent captain.

Stay calm. Be direct.

You're an excellent firefighter,
an excellent captain.

- Lieutenant Bishop?
- Uh, Chief Ross.

Um, hi. Hello.
Hey.

I'm sorry. I must have
lost track of time.

Oh, no.
No, I'm early.

Uh, we cleared out
the conference room.

It's right upstairs.

Here's fine.

Yeah, and feel free
to keep working.

I find that moving around
helps me keep a clear head

when I'm making important
decisions. Go ahead.

Okay.

So, Bishop.

Your record is impressive.

An Olympian,
a respected captain

prior to your demotion.

You've accomplished a lot
at a young age.

So let me ask you this.

What is your end goal here
in the fire department?

Uh, fire chief.

I know I have
to work my way up,

but I am excited
to do what it takes

to earn that position.

I like ambition.

And I appreciate
a work ethic like yours,

and I don't want you to lose
sight of that goal

despite the fact that I will not
be reinstating you

as captain of 19.

Chief, it was a matter
of life or death.

That child is alive
because I prioritized

his life over policy.

I don't... Did you know I'm a Marine?

When I was on my second tour
in Iraq...

we were ambushed
one night.

One of our guys was injured.

He was way out of our range.

Against orders,
this guy, Mikey,

he went out to save him.

He wanted to be a hero.

And he...
He blew our cover.

Mikey and that guy made it out,
but it cost the lives

of more than half
of my team.

You cannot isolate the fact
that that kid lived

from the fact that
you openly defied the Chief,

who knew more than you did
in that moment.

Chief Ross, McCallister
demoted me for insubordination.

The captain
he replaced me with

left the doors
of our engine open

and got it stolen
and destroyed.

Did he face
any consequences?

I'm not defending
McCallister's leadership,

but I am upholding
his demotion.

I believe he made
the right call on that.

McCallister did not care
about the kid.

He had it out for me from
day one because I condoned 19

supporting
Black Lives Matter.

Bishop.

You really want that allegation
on your record at this time?

Yes, McCallister
was problematic,

but, Bishop, your inability
to do the job in spite of that

is the problem.

Your refusal to recognize that,
like it or not,

being in the fire service
means adhering

to a chain of command,
that was and is the problem.

And frankly, the fact
that you have shown no remorse

for any of this behavior
does not make me feel confident

that you have any intention
of ever changing it.

Ladder 19 and Engine 19

requested at 460 Ryder Avenue.

That's me.

Go.

I got it.
This is the one.

Okay.

And these, too.

There we go. Yeah.

- There we go there.
- Mm.

Don't let Dr. Wright
see you like that.

Hey, look,
i-it's not your fault

that your resident
has the hots for you.

But you tell him next time,
keep his hands to himself.

It's not his hands
that were the problem.

- Yeah, well, his lips, then.
- Mm.

Oh, they're here.
Okay.

Okay.

Hi, Rand a.

Hello!

Hey.
Dr. Miranda Bailey.

Pru has told me
so much about you.

Oh.

You're... Oh, I'm Anna, the nanny.

- Oh. Okay.
- The nanny.

Hi, Ben.
Hey.

Are they not here yet?

They had a last-minute
doctor's appointment.

I guess
it's running late.

They asked me to bring her over
and just meet them here,

'cause I have
a hard out at...

Now.

Bye.
See you soon, buddy.

- Bye.
- Take care.

Good to see you both.

Come on in.
Mm-hmm.

You go with Grandpa?

Alrighty.

Aww.

Um, can I, uh, get anyone
coffee or tea?

I'd prefer it
if we just get to it.

Okay, then, uh,
w-why don't we have a seat

while we wait
for the guardian ad litem?

Tabitha will no longer be
joining us today.

My husband and I have decided,
uh, pending agreement

around certain
visitation privileges,

that, uh...

the best arrangement
would be for you

to take guardianship
of Arike.

Exclusively.

What the hell
are you doing to my door?

I'm trying to open it,
Virginia.

Are you thinking
mental breakdown?

A mental breakdown,
incapacitation,

medical emergency,
recovering from a bender.

Who knows?
It could be anything.

Oh, God.

Alan!

- Mm!
- Alan!

Alan!

Ugh!
Alan!

Ugh!

- Ugh.
- Oh!

Oh!

Oh, that's loud.

Oh, my God.

Oh.

Oh, Alan.

Saw Ross on my way out.

How did it go?

What?
The sit-down.

We didn't get to finish
because of the call.

Well,
I'm pulling for you.

Remember, she respects candor
and conviction.

Yeah, thanks.

Yep.

Heads up, 19.

This is a candy factory,
so there's gonna be

a lot of combustible
materials inside.

Stay alert.

Alright, 19, I want the ladder
out front on standby.

Ladder 19
is Search and Rescue.

Gibson, Sullivan,
you're Fire Attack.

Let's get water on this
before it gets any bigger.

There are still people
stuck inside!

- I haven't seen Stella!
- Do you work here? You look injured.

I work on the distribution
line, but I'm fine.

You have to find Stella!
She's... We're having a baby!

- What can you tell me about the layout?
- You gotta get her out!

I'll get her out.
The layout will help.

This is what
it looks like inside.

The generator is over here
by the conveyor belts.

Okay, this is helpful.
Thank you.

- Bishop, take Aid 23. Start triage.
- Okay.

Sir, let's take a look
at these wounds, okay?

- Let's go over here.
- Please find Stella!

23 on scene.
What's the assignment?

Herrera, I need you and Duval
to get a second hose line inside

to back up Fire Attack.

Ruiz, Barnes, help Ladder 19
with Search and Rescue.

We have a pregnant woman inside,
last whereabouts unknown.

Her name is Stella.

Stella!

Hey, 23.

Sorry about your house.

Hey, why hasn't
the power been cut?

I guess this place
has its own generator.

Beckett, we gotta
cut the generator!

Should be on
the northeast wall!

Copy.

Okay, so, burning sugar
is worse than tar,

and sugar dust
is basically TNT

once it gets hot enough,
so stay alert in there.

- Let's go!
- Yep!

Furthermore, nurturing
Arike's Nigerian heritage

is of utmost importance.

Absolutely.

Uh, the Laus feel
equally passionate

about her exposure to
and nurturing of

her Chinese culture.

Yeah, and we're deeply
committed to both.

I mean, even our boys
are excited.

Yeah, J-Joey found this, uh,
Nigerian grocery store

over on 7th,
and he's become

very, uh, "MasterChef" -y
about things.

Well, anyway,
there are a few other things

we'd like to get clear on
before this becomes settled law.

Bill and I propose
that we have her

for Memorial Day weekends,
4th of July, Thanksgiving,

Christmas, New Year's,
and we'd like two weeks

out of her summers with the Laus
to travel with her.

And we're open
to alternating birthdays.

Okay, we a-absolutely
think it's important

for Pru to spend
some holidays with you, but...

But t-that's, um...

Well, that's every holiday.

It's not enough
that you have her

for the majority
of her life?

We're allowing you
to win here.

You get her
for all of the time!

And yet...

"And yet"?

And yet, you keep
fighting us at every turn.

I don't think
that that's true.

I don't think
that's what's happening.

Okay, what you're proposing
is absurd.

- Excuse me?
- Okay... No.

L-Let's just try to remember
that Pru is napping

in the next room,
so let's keep it all... No.

No, we do not accept.

Um...

Ugh.
Is he...

Yeah, for a while. I wouldn't
recommend going in there.

Oh, crap.

Did he stain my floor?

We're really sorry,
Virginia?

Yeah, he probably...

Probably ran out
of insulin.

- He... I guess he couldn't afford it.
- Oh, geez.

I didn't even know
he was sick!

Wait, no one even noticed that
he was gone for a whole month?

No one to help him
get his medication?

He just... had no one?

Aid Car 19 requested
to 460 Ryder Avenue.

Oh, that's us.

Oh, no, wait.
You can't leave.

Who's gonna clean up
Alan?

I-I'll wait until
the police arrive

- and write up the report.
- Okay, thank you.

Um... Is he really dead?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

You seemed... close.

Damn.

Stella!
Can you hear us?!

Stella!

Where are all
the Oompa Loompas?

Maybe they went on strike
and set the place on fire.

Cap, hold on.

The floor is mega sticky.

We gotta keep moving!

Come on, let's go.
We stay in one place too long

and we'll need rescuing.

There's probably enough
sugar dust in here

to bring down
the whole building!

Then we need
to cut the power

before those fans spread it
all over the place.

Hey, hey!

Does that look like
a power box to you?

Yeah!
Alright.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Dammit!

Incident Command, there's no
generator controls here.

And the air's starting
to get spicy.

Have they found Stella yet?
Maybe you could go help them.

Okay, we have an excellent team
of firefighters in there.

We all have our jobs to do.
Mine is to help you.

Helping me would be
finding my girlfriend.

She's pregnant.

I didn't want her working,
but she kept saying

we couldn't afford
for her not to.

Hey, Blondie, you almost done
with that Lifepak?

'Cause I need it.

Or does 19 get
all the equipment, too?

Maddox, I am sorry that
they're closing your station,

but that is not my fault.

Right.
They're closing a fire station?

What does that mean?
Are there enough guys inside?

There are enough people
in there,

and they're all
very good at their job.

Gibson, Sullivan.

The generator should be
on the northeast wall.

We're here, sir,
but there's no generator.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's on the left.

Southwest,
in the basement.

- He's reading it upside down.
- Are you sure?

I've worked here
for eight years.

I drew the map
for your captain.

Captain, the generator
is on the southwest wall

of the basement.

Beckett.

I thought you said
you were good at your jobs!

Incident Command,
this is Herrera.

Duval and I are on
the southeast wall.

We're looking at something that
looks kind of like a distillery.

That is the hopper.

Herrera, if you and Duval
can close the hopper chute

and stop the sugar flow,

that'll make 19's job
a lot easier.

Gibson, Sullivan,
stay on Fire Attack.

We gotta stop this.
Here.

Jam it.

Okay.

Alright,
I need you to pull.

On three...
One, two, three!

Is there somebody here?!

Please help me!
I can't see!

Duval, go help her
until Ruiz can get her out!

Barnes, Ruiz!
We've located your victim!

She's on the southeast wall.

Beckett!

Beckett!

Patient says that
you have the map upside down.

What?

The generator is on the
southwest wall of the basement.

Gibson,
the generator is on

the southwest wall
of the basement.

Oh, God, do I still have

the smell of rotting Alan
in my nostrils, or is...

- I think it's pixie dust.
- Triage.

- I think Theo's in there.
- He'll be outside soon.

Duval, I need you
to get back here!

Ruiz, here, take over.

Go ahead, Duval.
We got her.

I need you
to find something

that's gonna give us
some leverage!

Alright, I'm gonna
put this mask on you.

It'll help you
breathe better, okay?

Yeah, that!

Ah, perfect.
Alright, ready?

- Okay, you pull, I push.
- Okay.

One, two, three.

Oh!

Incident Command,
this is Herrera.

The hopper is closed.

Good work, Herrera.
19, knock down that fire!

Whoo!
Good work, Duval.

Sullivan, abort
generator mission.

Knock down that fire!

Roger that, base.

So, what are you gonna do when
you're done with the uniform?

When you get out, huh?

Get me a 9:00 to 5:00,
get married,

have five kids,
kiddie pool in the backyard.

The whole package.

Five?

Dang, I feel sorry
for whoever ends up with you.

What about you?

What are you gonna do
when you're out?

Nothing.

This.

This, I can do forever.

This is what
I'm built for.

No, no.
No, you're not.

Nobody is.

You see yourself
as the marrying kind?

Nah.

All the good guys want
this "whole package" business.

We got movement.
Lights are on.

Target acquired.
Give me a read.

Looks like 1.5 MILS.

- Roger that, 1.5 MILS.
- Mm-hmm.

Slight
left-to-right wind.

Dial in 2.84 MILS.

Spotters up.

Ready to engage.

Your shot is clear.
Send it.

Sullivan.
Take the shot.

Sullivan.

I'm not gonna blow the back
of this guy's head off

in front of his kids.

Sullivan, you got
a clear shot.

You got...

When I tell you
to take the shot, you take it.

Miranda, Miranda...

- No, no, no, no.
- Ben, no.

I'm not gonna just sit there
and be talked to like that.

I understand, but
This is not a deal, it's...

The fact that
we're even discussing it

as if it is a deal
is absurd.

I know, I know,
but we need to calm down.

Just listen to me,
Miranda.

What?

Miran...

Um, your son
put it in writing,

and you... are
in no position

to care for this child
on your own.

Okay, Mir... And you both know it.

Okay, Miranda, let's just
take things...

I know about
your health condition, Bill.

What?

Now, I-I-I took an oath,
and I would never break my oath,

but I am Chief of the most
prestigious hospital

in the Pacific Northwest,
and information finds me.

And I know that you've been
having health problems.

And if the courts had
the information that I do,

none of this would even be
a conversation.

And even if by some miracle
the courts were fine with it,

you both know that it would
physically be too much.

Which is why
you came here today...

To act like you were
doing us a favor

saying she can be
with us full-time,

all while trying
to carve out some equation

where you... you have her
for all the magic,

and we're... functioning
as glorified nannies.

Hey, tell me if I've got
any of this wrong.

You have.

It's my heart.

I'm so sorry, I-Ifeya.

I d...
I didn't realize...

I suffered a heart attack
recently.

I have a pacemaker now
that they're still adjusting.

It's just really
hard to keep up

with a toddler with that.

It's hard keeping up
with a toddler without one.

I mean, we... we understand
how frightened you must be.

I...

W-We understand
you want to be there

for every single one
of Pru's celebrations.

And... And we think
you should be.

We want you to be.
We just...

We'd just like
to be there, too.

You know, I can get you
an appointment

with Dr. Maggie Pierce.

She's our best
cardiac surgeon.

Y-You'll be
in good hands.

Thank you.
Yeah.

She should be with you.

It's what's best
for her.

Uh, we do have one
final request, however.

Anything.

Uh, Pru lost her father
to a fire.

He died on the job.

She cannot lose
another father that way.

Ifeya...

I-I couldn't save my son,

but if I can spare
his daughter's heart,

it's my job, as someone
who cares about her, to try.

Stella!

- Oh, my God. What happened?
- Oh, baby, is that you?!

It looks like the sugar
burned her eyes.

She couldn't see where she was
going and she got trapped.

It was everywhere.
The air was like lightning.

Oh, my God,
I'm so sorry.

I'm okay, baby.

- We're okay.
- I love you.

I love you both.

Okay, sir, we really need
to get her to the hospital.

Would you like
to ride with her?

Yes! Sorry, sorry.

Baby,
I'm right beside you.

Hell yeah.
Let's get married!

Okay, we gotta go.

Thanks.

How'd it go with Ross?

She do you better

We have
a lot to drink about.

- Hmm.
- Thanks for the save, Herrera.

Yeah, what happened
in there?

Beckett read the map

What?
Mm-hmm.

Wow.

"Wow," yeah.

♪ I will stand up

So, how you doing?
You okay?

Not really.

Hmm?

It's not not my fault
23 got shut down.

I-I mean,
these guys, they're...

They're boneheads, but they're
damn good firefighters.

Most of them.

And I failed
as their leader.

I-I saw an opportunity
to go back to 19,

and I sank them
in the process.

If my dad saw me now...

♪ No matter what they say

You think you're doing

Just, um...

Just learn from it.

I did.

Movement.

Hold right edge.
Re-engage.

Clear shot.
Now or never.

I lied.

I don't want to be
a Marine forever.

I want to paint,
and I want to travel,

and I want to learn

until we finish this...

Till this is over.

Do you understand me?

Then take the shot
and end this, Sullivan.

Sullivan!

Equinox,

We have a situation.
Target is not viable.

Scratch that, Equinox.

Ready for extraction.

Hey, you might want to clear
your lockers, B-shift.

Herrera's
got us shut down.

Captain Herrera.

You taught me a lot,

and you saved my ass
more than once.

I'd follow you
into any fire.

Alright, listen up.

Look, every single one of you
has proven time and time again

what amazing
firefighters you are.

Budget cuts can't take away
what you've done for this city

and for this community.

Look, Station 23
has a long history

of legendary firefighters,
and you all are

and always will be
part of that history.

I mean, come on.
You're the last of the legends.

So take what you've accomplished
here into the world

and go make it less crappy.

You're all gonna land
on your feet.

Well... most of you.

To Captain Herrera,

the last fire captain
of Station 23.

- Yeah, Herrera.
- Captain Herrera!

Captain Herrera!

Herrera!

What's happening here?

I'm trying to remove
the stench of death.

- Bleh.
- You know, we see people

dead and dying every day.

And yet, somehow... That was worse?

That was... not something

humans are meant to see
or smell.

Only the worms
and maggots and stuff

- are supposed to see that.
- Hmm.

Seeing that poor man,
who died alone

with no one to even notice
he was gone...

Made you grateful
for me?

It made me realize that...

I don't think
I ever really loved Emmett.

I mean, I think...
I liked him a lot.

I liked being
around him.

But mostly, I just...
didn't want to be alone.

So I told him
what he wanted to hear

because it was easier
than hurting him...

Which, in a way,
kind of makes me the one

that was acting
like my dad.

- Oh...
- Hey!

Oh, my...
Oh, my...

Hey.

Oh.

Ugh.

Sorry, sorry.
That was...

I just really wanted to
do that yesterday... - Yep.

...when I saw you.

You know, if you want to work
at 19, it's totally fine.

I don't really think
that's up to me.

Oh.
But thank you.

Okay.

Hey, man!

Hey.

Yep.

No, take it off!
Take it off!

No.

No. No.

Ooh! Ooh!

Hey.
Hey.

Um... I-I couldn't sleep

'cause all I could see
was Alan's bloated body.

And, uh...

Look, I-I know I said that
I didn't want to talk to you

and that I-I didn't think
you loved me, but, Trav,

that was stupid.

That was unfair, and I think
we should be together.

I think we're great together,
and I know you love me, Trav.

This life is... is...
It's too damn short

to be this complicated,
so can we just pretend

like all of that
never happened?

I forgive you.

I-I really,
really forgive you.

I-I don't know.

yesterday?

Nope.

I was fully bluffing.

I just took what the nanny said
and ran with it.

Oh, I married
an evil genius.

I don't know
what came over me.

I mean, I know exactly
what she's going through,

Yeah, well, you did what you had

Alright.

Look, I don't know for sure
if he's drinking at work,

but he's keeping booze
hidden in drawers,

so I'd bet money
he is.

He's getting sloppy,
and he doesn't want to get help,

so it's just a matter of time
before he gets someone killed.

- Have you talked to him about this?
- I have done everything I can.

And it's complicated,
because he knows we...

Well, he suspects
we have history.

But he's putting
my team at risk,

so I'm letting you know.

there's no half-measure

for something like this
in this department, right?

I'm aware.

Alright.

Thanks for letting me know,
