Station 19 (2018–…): Season 6, Episode 6 - Everybody Says Don't - full transcript

Vic, it's so early.

Hey, your wife's not
answering. Is she there?

Well, of course she's
there. Can you, uh...

Can I talk to her? Can
you put me on speaker?

What? Whoo!

It's fire camp today!

You're yelling. Just wanted to
make sure you're ready to run

the axe drill and
the fire box setup...

Yes, Vic. I will see you
later. And the turnout relay.

Because I really feel like you're gonna
be the best person to do that after...

May...



Where are you going?

For a run.

I took a pregnancy
test the other day.

What? I'm sorry.

I had to know.

And you didn't think I did?

I'm telling you now.

I'm not pregnant.

Wow.

I can't believe you took a
pregnancy test without me.

This is the part
you're reacting to?

I'm reacting to all
of it. No, you're not.

You're reacting to the
part that applies to you.

You're reacting to the part
that you can be offended by.



I am not pregnant, Maya.
Did you hear that part?

I did.

And... And... "H-How
are you, Carina?

H-How are you feeling?
Do you need anything?

Is there anything
that I can do for you?

What should we do next?"
All these are normal things

that you can say to
your wife right now.

No, the normal thing is
doing a test together.

Oh, my God.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm s...

Listen, I'm just in shock, okay?

You seemed so...
O-Okay, I thought...

I thought it worked, okay?

You seemed so pregnant.

How did I "seem so pregnant"?

I don't know.

Mood swings and... And
snacking and symptoms...

Symptoms of being pregnant.

Those are symptoms of
being a human being, Maya.

Okay, you know what?
I'm going to work.

Bailey's Reproductive Care
Clinic is opening today,

and I can actually make
a difference there.

I gotta go.

No, baby.

I got...

fire camp with Hughes. Mm-hmm.

And I gotta get to 19
early to get eyes...

Mm-hmm. On some Beckett stuff.

Ugh.

Yeah, there have
been some concerns.

What's your read on him? Hm?

Is he drinking again?

Not drinking, I
don't think. Hmm.

But he isn't much of
a leader.

Wait, how are you
getting to work?

We drove here together.

You're going to 19 anyway,
I can just ride with you.

I'll jump out a few
blocks from the station.

You're not even joking.

You know, if we weren't
this covert couple,

think about the
carpooling we could do.

Think about how this affair is
contributing to climate change.

You're pushing again.

Again? Mm-hmm.

Look at where we are.

Yeah, thanks to
credit card points.

We're in a hotel in the city.

Where no one can know
that we're a couple

because you wanted more.

And now you want to ride
to work together, too?

Sully, it's too much.

Then we won't do it.

It's
just breakfast.

I like having meals
with you, okay?

So if in-room dining
is the only way...

You got breakfast? Mm-hmm.

French toast.

Ooh. Bacon.

Yeah?

Hey, you know I have
to leave at 12:00

for the union thing, right?

Uh, yeah, I do.

From when you
reminded me last night

and then again this morning
when I was in the shower

and then again when
I was driving here.

You genuinely
believe I'm a person

who remembers
absolutely nothing?

Left on the kitchen counter,
says "Girls Fire Camp".

I don't... Mm.

Really sucks that you're
abandoning me today.

Technically, you abandoned me,

because you were supposed to
go to this union thing with me.

Okay, well, you know what?

That was before Eli
was running the show.

And it's gonna be so much
better with him, right?

It's gonna be way less fun,
but it's gonna be better.

It will be less fun,
but it'll be better.

Lightning storm in
the forecast and now this?

Thanks a lot, Trav.

Lightning storms? Today?

Travis won't stop
gushing about Eli.

Prompted by me,
sure, but it's like,

you know, read the
room, you know?

I mean, I was doing
the job... Yeah.

And now someone
better is doing it,

and that's great, but, I mean,

maybe I'm not the best person
to talk about the new guy with.

No, I'm not either.

I-I was hate-Googling
him last night.

Okay, I mean, I don't hate him.

But do we... I don't
know, do we hate him?

I-I hate the type.

Like, he's too
smart, too charming,

too involved in every
do-gooder charity.

Like, what's his deal anyway?

Well, I don't know. It kinda
sounds like his deal is, like,

exactly what he's doing, right?

I mean, honestly,
hearing that bio

makes me feel a little bit better.
The guy hasn't done anything

for the campaign yet.

Yeah, he will.

He will, 'cause this is
just truly what he does.

I guess.

Eli. Eli. Please, just
hear me out, all right?

I-If someone was trying
to kill you, yeah?

And in protecting
yourself, you killed him...

That is just basic self-defense.

Even in court,
self-defense, not guilty.

Comparing this to
involuntary manslaughter

is really not helping
your argument here.

Dixon leaked a story

that makes you look like
you have rage issues.

We have something about him
that could change the narrative.

Leaking the Dixon Crisis
One call could jeopardize

the jobs of the
people on the call

and threaten the existence
of Crisis One itself.

Eli, I'm serious!

Well, how are you planning
to beat him, then?

Are we in this, or are we not?

Hey, Ben.

Please meet Eli Stern,
my new campaign manager.

The man who's gonna make my life

a whole lot easier?question mark?

Oh, what I wouldn't
give for one of those.

I'm in a non-fight
with my wife right now.

She... She started this
new reproductive clinic,

and she wants me to do
anesthesiology there

when she knows that I work here.

Oh, a-and get this, get this...

She goes

"But aren't you
just on desk duty?"

This sounds like
a regular fight.

I am on desk duty most
days for our family,

not because I like it,
not because I like it.

You know, I can't just... I
can't just drop everything

because of what she got herself
into over there, right? Right?

Oh, yeah, no, yeah, totally.
Yeah, yeah, of course.

You know, and today, I'm
not even on desk duty.

Today I'm a firefighter.

She can't take
that away from me.

Dude.

Uh, I'm s... Uh, what
is he doing here?

This camp is not
a campaign event.

Everything can be a campaign
event if you have an Eli.

An Eli? Yeah.

Uh, can I give you guys
a hand with this stuff?

Uh, no, I'm pretty sure
I'm stronger than you.

Plus, most of this
stuff is dusty,

and you look like a
guy with allergies.

Ooh!

So, today is the first
day of your FD careers.

Today we're gonna teach you

what it means to
be a firefighter,

and we're gonna treat
you like firefighters.

So every shift
begins with a lineup.

And, uh, you're gonna
introduce yourselves,

and, like real firefighters,

you're gonna use your
last names, okay?

You're gonna leave
all of your issues

and your self-doubt at the
door with your first names.

All right?

So, today, we are...

Herrera.

Warren.

Bishop. Sullivan.

Over here?

O'Hare. Mm-hmm.

Coles. Davila.

Sophie. She said last names.

It's okay.

Santos. That's good.

Thank you.

Whoa, is that lightning?

Okay, you know what? Let's
just get started, huh?

Come on, everyone, let's
suit up.

Um...

Should we go inside?
Well, it's far away.

The weather report said it's still
miles outside of Seattle, so...

Uh...

Look, everybody
knows this, right?

You count the number of seconds

between the flash of
lightning and the thunder,

and then you divide by five for
the distance of the storm in miles.

Right. Right?

That's what it is.

So, 9, 10.

Oh, my God, it's so far away.

It's so far away.

Wow, impressive.

Gonna be honest...

A little starstruck.

Ah, you're a runner, too?

Yeah, track and field
at school, but...

I mean, you're Olympic, so, wow.

I also listen to
dispatch all the time,

and I hear your
name a lot, so...

You listen to dispatch?

Yeah. Fire nerd.

Obsessed. Good,
you have to be.

You have to be single-focused,

more determined than
anyone else here,

and have the mental
and physical strength

to work through the pain.

Get out there.

Right here.

Ready? Let's go.

Very nice, very nice.

Oh.

When thunder roars,
you go indoors.

Okay, you are so much
hotter than rhyming wisdom,

whi... Ooh.

There you go.

One, two...

Yeah, he's right.
We gotta call it.

Chief, we don't... There is
plenty for them to learn inside.

All right, I need all these
girls inside right now!

Let's go! Let's pull it in!

Pick up a cone, we're heading
inside. Follow me, follow me.

All right,
ladies, come in here.

We're just gonna stack
the cones right on that X.

X marks the spot
here. Right here. Yep.

Thank you, and then
we're gonna line up.

We're gonna line up again,
okay?

Aid Car 19,
Ladder 19, Engine 19...

All right, all right,
this way, this way.

Come on, ladies. Let's
go, let's go, let's go.

Right in here, right in here.

You can watch
through your window.

Let's go, let's go. Keep
it moving, keep it moving.

Efficiency and with
urgency, efficiency and urgency.

I like to see it. This
way, this way. This way.

Come on, come on, come on. Hey!
It's a call, not a parade, Beckett.

How 'bout we set a good example
for our team and our guests?

Move! Let's go.

Good, now let's line up here,
ladies. I like that teamwork.

Oh, yeah, nice, nice.

Hey, how long do
you think you'll be?

This union endorsement is no
joke. You can't miss the meeting.

He's a firefighter.

I'm pretty sure the
firefighters' union

will understand if
Travis is a little late

because he's busy
fighting a fire.

Oh! What she said.

Gibson.

Yeah, I was looking for Herrera,

but I guess they're out? I need you in
there helping Hughes with fire camp.

Perfect. Two birds. Um...

Team got a
call because of course

there's a lightning storm on
the day of this fire camp.

And I can't leave a station full
of teenagers with just Hughes,

so I need to be here
dealing with citywide chaos.

I need you in there helping Vic.

Uh, well, uh Uh, I...

I don't work here.

Well, thank you
for volunteering.

Go.

There are survivors in that?

We shall see.

Wiggins, Klyne, get a protection
line... foam that fuel!

Sullivan, Herrera,
assess the pilot.

Montgomery, Warren,
medical on the passengers.

Everyone else,
extrication tools!

Quickly and with
focus, boys and girls.

The lightning that
brought this down

could just as easily screw us!

You know, you want
to inspire the team?

Calling us kittens and boys
and girls isn't the way to go.

Oh, I didn't realize
daily inspiration

was also your expectation of me.

This is the FD, Ru-is,
not a self-help seminar.

It's Ruiz.

My name's pronounced Ru-iz.

Okay.

Hey, hey.

Look at Bishop.
She's not okay.

Yeah, yeah, I'm on it.

No, dude, she
shouldn't even be here.

Is there a problem
over there, you two?!

Herrera, you're supposed to be assessing the helo.
I know, I know. I was just gonna make sure...

Go where your captain
is telling you!

Hey! Can you
hear me in there?

My name is Travis.
This is Ben.

We're here to help
you guys, okay?

It doesn't look good
in there, Warren.

Hey, how we doing in there?

Um, I think I'm
okay, but Jonathan...

This can't be good, right?

Well, I've seen worse.

Oh, you sound like her. Isabel's
always trying to keep it positive.

Keep everyone alert and alive.

Alive?
Best producer out there.

Look at where we're
at because of me!

There's a pole through your leg.

I'm the one who insisted
we fly in the storm.

Oh, my God. This
is all my fault.

Isabel, this isn't on you. You
didn't force me to do this.

Okay, Isabel, we're gonna
get you out of there,

but you gotta help us
by remaining calm, okay?

What about Omar, the
pilot? Is he okay?

Our colleagues are working on
him in the front right now.

Okay.

Whoo! Wow, thank
you. Thank you.

All right, Gibson, let's go.

Yep.

No, i-it's my wrist.

I had injury, so... Right.
Whatever you say, guy.

I did. It was really
bad.

All right. O'Hare,
show him how it's done.

Let's go.

Whoo! Very nice!

All the way down.
Santos, you're up.

That's okay. Try again.

No, I don't... I
really don't want to.

It was... It was already
better than mine.

Look, I said I don't want to.

Okay, Gibson, you want to
take over for a second?

Yeah, l-let's roll these bad
boys up. Santos, come here.

Look, can I please just go
now? This really isn't for me.

Okay, it is just day one, right?

I'm not good at things on
day two, three, or 53 either.

This is why my parents
are making me try this.

Okay.

Look, I wasn't great
at any of this stuff

when I was at the academy,
and look at me now, right?

Okay, all of this is so
much more about your head

than any of the physical stuff.

And you're obviously one of
the smartest ones here, right?

See? Yeah, you know
it.

Only smart people
make themselves nuts

about what they're
good at or not good at.

Okay?

Try it again, huh?

You got it.

Firefighter, leader,
and a shrink,

that's very nice.

Thanks, Chief. Thanks.

Question for you. Yeah?

What's your take
on Captain Beckett?

Um, uh, I-I think he... it's...

He must be in a tough position.

Honesty over diplomacy, please.

Okay. Um...

Well, here it is...

Uh, he is a bare minimum guy
in a house of overachievers.

We're a "how do you go above
and beyond" kinda house,

and he's a "sit around an wait
for your pension to kick in"

kinda captain.

And it's a bummer and
starting to affect everything.

Wow, you just distilled
into two sentences

what I couldn't
even put into words.

Thank you.

It's looking great,
team. Love to see it.

Keep it up.

All right, Girls Camp?

Girls Camp!

Hey, I'm Andy.

And that's Sullivan over there.

I'm... I'm Omar.

Omar, save your energy.

I-I tried to land to
take the brunt of...

Brunt of the impact.

Yep, and you
succeeded, my friend.

Looks like your passengers are
gonna be okay because of it.

You're... You're a hero.

I ju... I jus... I
just don't know...

Don't know any other way.

Exactly what a hero would say.

When you're a pilot,
you're... you're in command.

Y-You keep your people safe.

You're a good man, Omar.

I wish more people
thought like you.

Dad?

D-Dad?

Dad, what are you...
What are you...

What's my da...
What's my dad, um...

Dad, I... I've missed you.

M-My dad's here.

Yeah?

He's gone, Andy.
I know, I know.

I'm just gonna...

I know.

Andy, he's gone.

I know. I...

Andy!

He's gone.

He gave his life
to save his passengers.

Let's get him out.

Focus, focus,
focus. Okay, hey!

Those two breaths didn't
go in. What do we do next?

What do we do? Oh, you re-tilt
the airway and try again?

Yes! Very nice, very nice.

Okay, so those two
breaths did go in.

And now what?

Two breaths, five cycles...
This is so boring.

I did this in
lifeguard training.

Can we please go back to
doing firefighter stuff?

This is firefighter stuff.

This is boring.
Okay, well, it's CPR.

All right, well, you
know, make them do it

to the beat of
"Achy Breaky Heart".

A song literally none
of them are gonna know?

Really? "Stayin' Alive"?

They're 17-year-olds,
Jack. Right.

Uh, uh, um... Oh, please.

Right, okay, uh, I
think it might help

if we do it to the beat
of, uh, "Baby Shark".

Oh, God, no. No,
no! Yes! Yeah!

All right, so...

You are evil!

That's gonna be
stuck in all of our heads for literally days.

Which is exactly where your
CPR training should be.

Right? So, again now.

You guys laugh, but
this is important.

But it's also still so boring.

I agree. This is literally
one of the most important

things you could learn all day.

Well, right, but if we're
out there fighting a fire,

we wouldn't be doing this stuff.

Wouldn't the
paramedics be doing it?

Well... Okay, but a
paramedic and a firefighter

are one in the same
out in the field,

and equally as important.

Equally?

I'd even argue that
it's more important.

When I was in Iraq,
another soldier and I

were on a recon mission,

and we had to stay the
night in a safe house.

It got shelled
while we were there.

My partner had a bullet
go through his lung.

We couldn't get extracted.

So with just the supplies
from our walking packs

and half a bottle of whiskey
that the last people had left,

I had to sedate
him, intubate him,

and then do compressions
on and off all night long

because he kept
losing his pulse.

4 hours and 17 minutes.

I'm in love with her. Right?

It was this moment of instinct
and training and purpose

all coming together.

I wouldn't be in the
place that I am right now

without a class
just like this one.

And now I'm everybody's boss.

Y'all get that,
right?

All right. Great.

So why don't we give it
another shot, huh, with heart?

Gibson, what was that
song? - Uh...

One, two, three.

What about him?

What about Jonathan?

He's next. I can't leave him!

We wouldn't be in this
mess if it wasn't for me.

What about Omar, the
pilot? Did he make it?

Ma'am, our team's all over this,

and we're the best
there is, all right?

We're gonna get you
over to Seattle Pres.

And we're gonna keep
you posted on your guys.

C-collar.

Uh, I'm feeling a little weird.

Okay, well, weird how, Jonathan?

Like, uh... Like pain?

Not really pain.

It's more tingly? Where?

Like, uh, in your
legs? Yeah, maybe.

I don't think I can
really feel my legs.

Okay. Well, you know
what? That's, uh...

That's good for us to know.

Just let us know if
anything changes, all right?

Hey, Sullivan. Sullivan!

I need you to tell Beckett

that we're gonna pull the
whole seat out of there.

If we try to cut that
rod and extract him,

we could cause total paralysis.

Got it.

Yeah, but I need
regular updates on 81's status

and the companies on
the construction site

by Green Lake, okay?

Copy, Chief.

Vic, what are you
doing out here?

Uh, the... Uh, they're on
a break, so... and I'm...

Sorry, Chi... Uh, you kind
of blew my mind back there.

Blew your mind how? Yeah, I...

I don't think I've ever f-felt
like that about any of this.

How you felt in that safe house,

right in the pocket, the clarity
and the... the purpose...

I just don't think I have ever
felt like that about anything.

Okay, now... No, uh, Chief, I
just feel like I'm always...

I'm always just floating
around in the tide.

I'm never the one driving the
boat. I'm never even in a boat.

Okay, so... I'm just...
Here... No, I'm sorry.

Here I am telling these girls

that this is the greatest
job in the world... Mm-hmm.

And that everything else just
makes more sense inside of this,

and I do not know
if I believe that.

Hughes, there's a lot
going on right now.

I need you to stay on ta...
Okay, but how did you...

How did you know that your
pocket was your pocket?

Because I want to be like
that, I want to feel like that.

Vic, I'm sor... I'm gonna
have to stop you right there.

Yeah. I'm helping
you with fire camp.

I'm dealing with a
citywide lightning storm.

This may not be
the perfect moment

for a mentoring session,
okay? Understood, understood.

Okay.

Thank you, Chief.

All right,
Jonathan, not much longer.

Hey, hey, Jonathan.
Jonathan, hey.

Hey. We're in the
homestretch now, okay?

Just stay calm. Stay
with us. Stay with us.

I feel so stupid.

I wanted to be a war
correspondent, you know?

Sounds silly, but it
felt like a calling.

I got it, and I ignored it.

Well, I didn't ignore it.

I gave it up.

For my wife.

That sounds romantic.

Not really.

Made me hate her.

I mean, not hate
her, but resent her.

Which is worse, I think, 'cause
I'm not mean to anyone but her.

I'm serious!

To everyone else, I'm the
best guy in the world.

You know what I thought when you
guys started to whisper about me

possibly having a spinal injury?

Wait, y-y-you heard that?

I'm a really good reporter.

I heard you and I thought,
"That'll show her."

Because she'd have to take care
of my paralyzed ass forever.

The ultimate punishment.

I actually had that thought
in the middle of all this.

How screwed up is that?

I'm sure you're under
a lot of stress,

and I'm sure you didn't mean
to say anything like that...

Oh, I meant every bit.

Who knew it could get worse?

That what I'm feeling
now would be more awful

and terrifying than that?

Jonathan.

Jonathan, what're
you feeling now?

'Cause to be honest,
I'm a little bit afraid

of what the answer's gonna be.

Desperately, frantically,
painfully in love with her.

I have to fix this.

If I'm in this marriage,
I have to be in it.

I love her.

We got you.

We're gonna take care of
you. You're gonna be okay.

Warren.

I'll be right back.

Beckett's not going for it.

Hey. Hey, Jonathan, buddy,
better late than never.

I believe in you.
Look at where you are.

You're already casually
defying the odds.

Okay?

No, Captain, I hear that,
but medically speaking,

I'm telling you... Just because
you think you also have X-ray eyes

doesn't mean we're gonna make
life riskier for this team.

The longer we stay out here,

the greater the chance
that one of us gets fried.

Respectfully, Captain, I'm
a doctor... No, Warren.

The safest and
fastest thing to do

is to cut that man
out of that chair...

Oh, my God! This
is ridiculous.

Excuse me? No, she's
actually right.

We are wasting time.

You're out of
line, too, Herrera.

Ben knows what
he's talking about!

And you have... Captain, I know
what I'm saying, all right?

This is how we save this man.

He's a doctor. You need
to listen.

All right, you know what?
You seem like you really want

to run the show, Herrera,
so why don't you?

Let's see how you do, hm?

Change of plans, everyone.

We're extricating in the chair!

Now, let's go.move.move.move.

Ruiz, Bishop, Cutler, V struts
and stabilize that helo.

Montgomery, open up that
left side and get us egress.

Everyone else, we
need all hands...

Keep everybody back!

No, no, hey! We don't
have enough as it is.

No.

What?

I needed this.

You know, working
with the girls and you

and doing something I'm good at.

Oh, buddy.

Didn't mind them being
super mean to me, either.

Of course you
didn't.

What is that?

Obviously I didn't
grow up with family,

but watching other people's,

I thought the thing
that distinguished it

from everyone else was that
you could give each other crap

or mess up, and they'd still
have to love you, you know?

Couldn't kick you out of
the circle or return you.

What's that?

Me as a baby.

My bio-sister
dropped it off.

And my parents have been
holding onto it for years.

Apparently they did
love me, they just...

didn't like me.

Jack.

Come on, that's... That's
different. You know it is.

And if you don't,
I'm... I'm telling you.

And I can be as mean about
it as you need me to be

for it to sink in.

Jack, they... they loved you.

And they couldn't keep you.

Okay?

So, you got a sister
sniffing around, huh?

How do we feel about that?

Curious, I guess.
I don't know.

Confused. Okay.

Those are normal and
appropriate feelings.

I can work with that.

Thank you. Yeah.

Stop! Hold!

Hold, hold. Bishop, step away.

Thought you were
running the scene.

I'm doing exactly that.

Hold him up.
Stable.

We got it. I'm coming around.

Okay, just remember you
are its brains, all right?

- I'm right behind you.
- Good.

Oh! That's good, that's
good. Right in the work.

Perfect.

What the...

Give me this, give
me this, Santos.

Help! Help! You
have to help me!

Somebody, Help! Girls, get back!
Get back! Everybody, get back!

Help, please! Okay, sir!

You have to help me!

Sir. Please!

Hold on. Slow down,
slow down, slow down.

Stay back there. Right
here, right here.

You gotta help!

They were struck by lightning.

We were just getting to
my mom's for Sunday lunch.

She said not to
come in the storm.

I wonders.

Monitors. We gotta get them all
on monitors with defib pads.

What does that mean? Are
they going to be okay?

Hey, back up, back up. Enzo, Enzo.
Just keep talking to me, okay?

They were unloading the car.

We've been bringing her
supplies for the week.

Lightning hit the
ground or something.

I was still in the car.
It should have been me.

No, no, no, it's good it wasn't.
You got them here, right?

Hey, hey, let me work. Natasha:
Dispatch, this is Chief Ross.

I need three aid
cars to Station 19

for three post-lightning
cardiac arrests.

Chief, every aid
car in a 20-mile radius

is on a call. Please.

Just give me what
you can when you can.

Suddenly they all
fell and were out.

I threw them in the trunk
and just brought them him.

You did that
yourself? - Charging.

Chief, we need more hands.

I know, uh...

Santos, O'Hare, I need you
over here now. You're helping.

Uh, Coles, Davila,
grab med bags.

Good, good, good.

Look at me. It's just
like how I'm doing.

Just like we were
doing this morning.

You were both so great at it,
which is why I called you over.

All right, it's not
as scary as it looks.

You got it. Ready? Take over.

You got it.

O'Hare, O'Hare.
O'Hare, look at me.

I'm right here. You
got this, okay? Right.

Hey, hey, hey.

"Baby Shark", right? Right.

Almost. ♪ Doo doo-doo-doo

Good, good.

Keep going.

Ready.

Clear.

You're doing great.
Check his pulse.

Oh, my God, I have a pulse. Oh,
my God, oh, my God, oh, my God!

That's good, Santos!

That's good.

Oh, hey.

Hey. Oh! Look at
who's so strong.

Deep breaths, all right?
Your dad's right there.

Okay. Good job, kiddo.

Hey, looks like your wife
is coming around, too.

Hey, baby, can you hear me?

Hospital dispatch,

this is Aid Car 19, Ben Warren.

En route with a 40-year-old
male, alert and oriented,

with a spinal injury
and leg impalement.

We're gonna need a lot
of hands with this one.

Ready
for you, Aid 19.

I don't think you are. 19...

No, tell trauma, tell ortho,
and tell neurosurgery.

That will be assessed when you
deliver... Already been assessed.

I'm calling to make sure that
everyone's prepared for this,

because I know you
don't have enough hands.

Thank you.

Hey. That's leadership
right there.

They didn't want to listen,
you made them listen.

You didn't call them cute names.
You weren't an ass about it.

Thank you? Meanwhile,
Bishop's wilding out

and no one is doing
anything about it.

Herrera pulled her.
Too little, too late.

And Herrera isn't the captain.

This is as much
a Beckett problem

as it is a Bishop problem,
and I'm sick of it.

Look, I'm... I'm worried
about Bishop, too.

But Beckett, I mean, it's...
It just kinda is what it is.

No. No, man, a-a crappy
captain is the kiss of death.

I know 'cause I was one.

Thank you so much.

All of you.

Of course, of
course. Good luck.

Hey, hey, hey.
That was so scary.

I can't do this. It's okay.

It's over now, right? Hey.

Hey, no, no, no. No, no,
no. I can't. I can't.

I got you. I got you.
I got you. It's okay.

It's
okay. I got you.

I don't know
how you guys do this.

I can't do this.
I can't do this.

We kind of already did do it?

Yeah, she's right.
She's right. You did.

You did. You all did.

Okay?

Day one, lives saved.
It's no big deal, right?

I'm sorry. I don't know
what's wrong with me.

No, no, no. Hey,
hey, hey. Look at me.

This is relief crying.

And I do it all the time, too.

So does he. Oh, yeah.

This is actually...

the best kind of crying
for a firefighter, okay?

It means you don't let
your emotions unravel

and you stay focused when you're
in the middle of the saving

and the doing and
the whole thing.

Right?

And it also means you
don't bottle it up

and let it mess with your
head or your insides later.

All right, so this
can be a good thing.

This is a good thing.
You can cry. Okay.

You can cry.

You did good.

You did good today.

I have a million texts from Eli.

Yeah, that
tracks.

I've practically ignored
everything he's asked me to do.

He's not an idiot. He
knew what he was in for.

Yeah, but I don't think I did.

I mean, it's like...

It's like it was a game before

and he's trying
to make it a job.

And it's just...

I don't know. It's like,
am I in this, or am I not?

Are you... Are you
still "in charge"?

Because if we go directly there,

then maybe I can catch
the end of this thing.

No? Like, "no" like
it's a terrible idea?

Or like... "I have
to ask Beckett"?

Beckett.

Hey, Captain!

Vic, if you say that you
still don't feel like

you were in the pocket today,

there's something
wrong with you.

I watched you in here all
day, over and over again,

how you counseled those girls,
how you taught those girls.

Yeah, I know. That felt good.

Chief, it felt good, it
felt right, it felt easy.

Well, not easy, you
know, but, um...

Yeah, I know. I know.

And it all makes sense to me.

And that's why it even
more feels like I am...

on the wrong path here.

Vic, despite being
incredibly smart,

you are incredibly dramatic.

Why can't the right
thing be easy?

Why can't it be something
right in front of you?

Why can't it be something that
you are already doing well?

Well... Vic, I want
you to run Crisis One.

Me? You.

You're good with people,
with their feelings,

with getting in their heads

while still holding
space for their hearts.

And you are one of the
best first responders

I have ever seen because
you care so deeply.

Thank you?

Diane Lewis has
pitched in beautifully,

but now Crisis One needs
a permanent leader.

Someone with your exact
combined skill set.

Now, w-why haven't you
taken the reins on this yet?

W-Wasn't that the plan?

Well, yeah, yeah, it was.

It's just that that was
when it was a pilot program,

not this big citywide
thing. Yeah, right.

Exactly. So now it
needs a real leader.

Vic, your purpose isn't
some big, giant thing

that you're gonna discover
out there somewhere.

It's everything
that you have done,

everything that
you're going to do

that connects the
dots of your life

that brings meaning and
value to you, to others.

All of those dots make
you ideal for Crisis One.

You missed it, Montgomery.
But of course you did.

I was, uh...

Hey! Hey, guys!

Hey, I-I know I'm late,

but just, uh... just
hear me out for a second.

I-I was... I was on a call,

and I couldn't leave my
post or my team to...

I think what I'm trying to
say is that I'm just like you.

And if you'll support
me, if you'll do that,

you will, for the first time,

have a candidate
that is one of you.

That knows the struggle
of all firefighters.

Travis. Eli.

This is the cleaning crew.

And a lot of hot air to
compensate for his hot head.

Lucky his campaign
isn't doing better.

Between the lack of
commitment and anger issues,

he'd reflect so poorly on FD.

Sir, I just want you to know
that there are a lot of things

being said about me right now,
and none of them are true.

- I
- agree, Montgomery.

That's why it was so important
for you to be here today.

Unfortunately, this
meeting is over.

We all have our FD obligations
we're honoring, too.

Yes, sir.

I told you today was important.

I know that.

I know that!

You don't think I
didn't know that?

You're making it worse.

You're making it look like you
really do have anger issues.

Travis!

His temper.

You have to get it together.

I'll do better than that...
Leak the Dixon story.

Captain, what... w...

You can't still be mad at me,

I rerouted the rigs
for your buddy.

No, what was that
on the call today?

You just checked out.

No, on the contrary, you wanted
to play captain, I let you.

Yeah, it's harder than it
looks, huh? I was fine.

Yeah, with the mechanics of the
call, sure, that's the easy part.

It's managing your
tender personalities

that makes this job a real pain.

Speaking of personality
management...

You wanted to play
captain for a day,

why don't you get to it, boss?

Hey.

Now you care who you
embarrass me in front of?

I wasn't trying
to embarrass you.

I was trying to
keep people safe.

I was trying to
keep you safe. No.

I think you were using
me to angle for captain.

Oh, get out of here.

Are we... Are we
doing this again?

Deny it, but I'm right.

Just like I'm right
about Ross and Sullivan

and just like I've been
right about Beckett.

Everyone's just riding me to
distract from their own stuff

and I'm sick of it. Are
you listening to yourself?

Yeah, the other night I
decided to do exactly that.

Okay, so that's
what we're doing.

Rogue Maya is
listening to herself?

You know, I don't need
a lecture right now.

I'm trying to help
you.

I am fighting for
you, not against you.

I-I pulled you off that scene
because you do not seem okay.

I know you, when
you're spiraling,

when you're really
sinking, you go after me.

You go after everyone.
You go after your team.

Because that's what your
dad taught you to do.

You go for gold alone.

But me and this team, we...

We are not your competition.

We are a team you work with.

We... We do this together,

but you have to let us.

Please.

Are we done here?

Hey.

Hi.

What's wrong?

I heard it went great today.

Oh, no, it was. It was.

It was great.

For the girls, for
Hughes, for me.

But I cannot stop thinking
about this morning.

This morning?

You get that we'll
probably never be able

to ride to work together, right?

We'll figure it
out. I hate it.

I don't know how being with
you is somehow harder than not,

because that was awful.

But this

Sully, this feels impossible.

All right, we'll never
be able to carpool.

Seattle is a big city, we
can explore its outskirts.

Seattle is not as big
as you think it is.

All right, well, we'll
move. How 'bout that, huh?

We'll quit our jobs and
we'll move, uh, to Spain.

Sully...

Sorry, look, I'm not
making light of this.

But what do you
want me to say, huh?

I want
more and so do you.

And it's not gonna
change. Exactly.

You know how rare it is

for someone like me
to be where I am.

Positions like mine are not
handed out to people like me.

And even when we get them,
it stays so precarious.

Sully, you know
that. Profoundly.

I love where I am.

I deserve where I am.

I'm great at where I am.

But today I realized
there's something

that's more important than that.

People look up to me.

People who look like me,
people who need an example

of a me to know that
they can do it, too.

I cannot mess this
up for myself,

and I really can't
mess this up for them.

Natasha, you are not
listening. Listen, I don't know

how we make this work.

What... What... Sully, I'm
saying I don't know if we can.

I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Herrera! Let's go!
