Well, this is it, Julian.

Moment of truth.

First solo flight.

How you feeling?

I feel alive, Eddie.

I feel exhilarated.

I feel

terrified. Maybe we should
do one more together.

Julian.

Do you recall what you told
me the first day you hired me?

Why you wanted to
be certified as a pilot

in the first place?

Because I was sick of feeling

like the world was
trying to suffocate me.

Because I wanted to feel free.

So go break free.

Winds 120 at 8. Visibility 10.

Sky clear below 1-2 thousand.

Cessna 9418 Mike

ready for taxi to
runway one-six.

9418 Mike,

intentions for departure?

First solo in the pattern.

9418 Mike, you are
cleared for one-six.

Good luck up there.

Here goes nothing.

18 Mike, tower.

I need you to turn 1-1-0

and return to runway
one-six immediately.

You want me to land already?

I haven't completed the pattern.

Forget the pattern.

But I need it to get
certified, don't I?

18 Mike, we're detecting
sudden, extreme weather systema

moving in fast from
the north by northeast.

What are you talking about?

What is that?!

Turn 1-1-0 and
increase your speed

to 190 knots now.

Turning 1-1-0...

God!

All right, so you
got your Honda knot.

Got your stopper.

Yeah? Good. Then you go under.

Over.

Throw a lasso.

He's so good with them.

Yeah, that's what
godfathers are for.

He loves those girls, T.

I'm so grateful.

There's still a good man

in their lives
looking out for them.

It's okay.

The funeral was two weeks ago.

You'd think I'd be able
to go two minutes without

- a tissue break.
- No, let it out.

Y'all just keep practicing.

I'll be right back.

Let it out.

You okay?

I... I know that's
a stupid question.

No. No, it's not.

Every time I think I have
a toehold on my sanity,

then just

it just hits me all over again.

Charles'

his life insurance came in.

And it's-it's more
than I expected.

You know, he was always
looking out for the girls.

- Yeah, he was.
- So I'm thinking

it's my turn.

- What do you mean?
- That the only reason

I put that uniform back on
was to support my family.

So.

He's taken care of that now.

So, hold up, you love that job.

It's a part of who
you are, too, now.

It is.

But what am I supposed to do?

Well, have you told.

TK or Nancy what
you're thinking?

They're coming over tomorrow.

And I'll-I'll break
it to them then.

Well, I feel for you, T.

Good luck.

You know what, you
save some of that luck

for yourself.

Because tomorrow is a big day

for both of you.

Back at the call center?

You must be counting
down the hours.

I'm a little excited.
Just a little bit.

How about you, Juddy?

Have they given you
any idea which firehouse

- you're gonna report to?
- Nope.

Nope, the, the last I heard

from the brass of the department
is we're supposed to get

a call in the morning giving
us our temporary assignments.

And Owen hasn't been
able to give you a heads-up?

No, he's just as in
the dark as we are.

Yeah, how is Owen?

Pushing paper around

for the deputy chief?

You know Owen, you know,

he likes to jump
in with both feet.

Limes.

I've been thinking
a lot about limes.

Because limes,
ladies and gentlemen,

are how we are going
to find efficiencies.

Last year, an airline saved

$500,000

by slicing the
limes into 16 pieces

- instead of ten.
- So a half million in limes?

In limes. So I have scoured
our department's budget

and found many
"sliced lime" expenses.

Now, these are
things that we could

scale back or cut, and nobody's

ever gonna know the difference.

So, if every fire station

adjusted its
thermostat one degree,

we'd save $127,000 a year.

We spend $60,000 on
plant watering services.

That's something we
should be doing ourselves.

Particularly when
we know that caring

for plants is good for
our mental wellness.

It's a true fact. And

- it goes on.
- For 196 pages.

Now, it says here that you
project 2.7 million in savings.

Yes, and the appendix in the
back breaks down those numbers.

And we're gonna need
every penny 'cause,

accounting for the
rise in fuel and energy,

next year this time,
we're gonna be hurting.

Well, I must say,
Captain Strand, I am,

I'm very impressed,
though I'm hardly surprised

by your embrace of
your administrative duties.

Well, it gives me something
to do while I'm waiting

for the 126 to come back online.

Look, I need your help
with the city planners.

They are just
dragging their feet

approving the crews
to finish the work

- on the firehouse.
- Well, you just have

to have a little patience
with these things.

- With all due respect, I've been patient.
- For two weeks.

Which is 13 longer
than it should take.

Captain, can I, can I
speak to you for a moment

- outside?
- Sure.

Do you know

I considered bringing
you down to Texas

one of the greatest
accomplishments of my career?

Well, that's very
nice of you to say.

No, I mean it.
Why, it is incredible

how fast you remolded the 126

into the strongest
station in our city.

And I just have to
wonder if you could do that

with one house, what you
could do with a whole department.

Well, I'm happy
to help in any way.

I'm not asking for
your help, Captain.

I'm asking you to be Austin's

next deputy fire chief.

Well, isn't that your job?

Well, I'm retiring, Owen.

That's why I wanted
you assigned to my staff.

Because there is
nobody that I'd rather

pass the reins on to than you.

Wow.

Um... that's very,

Wow. Think you'll find

your time here a
little less eventful than

what you're used to,
Firefighter Strickland.

We don't get the
crazy, high-octane calls

that the 126 is known for.

No worries. Not many
stations do, Captain Andrews.

That said,

we do make the most of
our downtime here at the 122.

We slow roast most of our
meals over our BBQ smoker.

And we grow our own
vegetables out back.

- Over there?
- Yeah, full garden.

And we maintain
the third-largest

lending library in the city.

You have a lending library?

Well, yeah, didn't the 126?

No, and I am a reader.

Well, you'll have plenty of
opportunities for that here.

That is, of course, when you're
not on the pickle ball courts.

I don't even know what that is.

Trust me, you are gonna love it.

First, a couple folks I thought
you may want to say hello to.

Judd, Marj?

Hey, my man!

What's up, family! I
didn't know you guys

- were gonna be here.
- Neither did we,

until about two hours ago
when the department called.

I'm so pumped. I thought
we were all gonna be split up

- until the 126 opened its doors again.
- Yeah, we all did.

Not to mention this place
is like a damn country club.

Yeah, we drew the long straws.

- Yeah, we did.
- This is outstanding.

I-I can't believe we all
ended up here together.

W... W-Where's Probie?

Put your back into it, grunt, or
that stain's never coming out.

And you still owe
me all the latrines.

You know, Captain,
if it's all the same,

I kind of just prefer
Probie or Chavez.

Even just Mateo's cool, too.

Grunts speak only when
spoken to at the 129.

You-you were speaking to me.

- What is this, anyway?
- Hank there

spilled his dip
cup the other day.

My bad.

Gross.

You know, if this is tobacco,

I'm gonna need a
heavier-duty cleaner.

Do you guys have any sodium
thisulfate laying around here?

You can pick some up
when you grab lunch.

Who feels like patty melts?

- Yeah.
- That sounds great, Cap.

The boys want patty melts.

You got it.

All right, 129,

let's roll.

Where you think
you're going, grunt?

You're on lunch duty.

- Hey, guys. Come on in.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Good to see you.

- Hey, Cap.
- Hey. I'm sorry

we couldn't meet
some place more fun.

I'm just, um, you know,

anchored to the house right now.

No worries.

Where are the kids?

They're in their room,
finishing up some homework,

waiting for the pizza to arrive.

Um, you guys want some coffee?

Yeah. If some is made,

yeah, please. Thank you.

So, Cap, any update

on when we'll get
back out on the street?

Still waiting for a house

with an ambulance
bay to open up.

Copy that.

Just feels a little weird
collecting a paycheck

while the rig is
just collecting dust

in some city garage.

I'm at peace with it.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Yeah.

Coffee's sick, by the way.

What roast is this?

It's, um

it's not the roast.

It's the chicory.

Charles

discovered it on a
trip to New Orleans.

It's what he served
in the restaurant.

And what we just restocked

for the re-opening.

Well... it's really nice.

Yeah.

Okay, listen, um

I want you two to know that

working with you has
been the greatest blessing

of my professional career.

You're not coming back, are you?

I can't.

The girls... they-they need me

for this next chapter now.

More than ever, and I'm

I'm so sorry.

No. Don't feel bad.

You're not the first captain

I've had leave to
take care of family.

Right. Michelle.

And I have nothing
but love and respect

for Michelle, and
this is no different.

Except that it is different.

You're, um

my mentor

of how I want to
be as a paramedic,

as a captain,

and, hopefully, one day,

a long, long time
from now, a mom.

I'm sorry.

- This is super awkward.
- No.

No, um...

As if I needed
another reason to cry.

I've got a kale
antioxidant salad

and a bacon blue
burger with extra rings.

Thank you.

Like staring into
the face of God.

Yeah, you eat that whole thing,
you'll see God soon enough.

Well, at least it'll be this
putting me in the ground,

not the cancer.

What do you mean,
not the cancer?

My last follow-up.

Doc said radiation took
out two of my tumors.

Last one's on the run.

Billy, that's great news.

Yeah, yeah, well, before
you go getting all rah-rah,

I ain't out of the woods
yet, but he did say

I could go back to desk duty.

Which sounds about
as tedious as radiation.

Well, not necessarily.

In fact, I did just
have a conversation

with the deputy chief that was

pretty stunning.

He's retiring.

And he wants me to take the job.

Well.

Your own perch on Mount Olympus?

How's that make you feel?

Conflicted.

Yeah, imagine it would.

Why do you say that?

Come on, New York.

Guys like you and me?

We're meant to be
down on the field,

not up in the front office.

Look, I don't have any
interest in being the last guy

in the game.

Worked out pretty good
for Tom Brady last year.

Yeah, well, for every Tom Brady,

there's a bunch of
Brett Favres, you know?

Hobbling around,
way past their prime.

Look, I would just
rather walk off the field

than be carried off.

Why does it seem like you
walked off the field already?

'Cause I sort of have.

Hey, 126 will rise again.

When? I've seen the red tape.

But, so, maybe, I take this job,

cut through the red
tape, open the firehouse

and bring my people back.

Without you there.

Could be the
perfect time to leave,

because I wouldn't be leaving.

You just wouldn't be going back.

Painless.

My gosh.

Stop, stop, stop.

Thank you, guys.
I appreciate it.

Y'all... You didn't
have to do this.

If you thought we
wouldn't celebrate

your first day back, you
don't know us very well.

Aw, Bree. Well, y'all
gonna have to help me

eat all of it, then.

I call the white
chocolate pineapple.

- Joel.
- White chocolate pineapple.

Okay. This will be great in
the break room. Thank you.

Sir.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

And, seriously, yeah,
we missed you, Grace.

You know, the place
wasn't the same without you.

He's right.

It's been a long six weeks.

Yeah, it's, it's
been longer for me.

Call me crazy,

but there is nowhere
else on Earth

I feel more relaxed
than this place.

Thank you.

Okay, we got

a dozen patty melts,
three with no mayo,

one with extra mayo,
two pastramis on rye,

one on wheat and a wedge salad.

Pickle!

- That's you! That's...
- Me?!

- That's you.
- Game, set, match!

- I thought you were going to...
- You're supposed to...

- That's a... Looks like you're a natural.
- Hey, hey, you were right, Cap.

I love me some pickle ball.

Hey, your fries.

Thank you. Yeah.

Yeah, just slide
them on my finger.

- Come on, let's try it again.
- I thought you were gonna...

Okay. Still got it.

All right.

Almost there.

No, no...

Move!

What is that, a tornado?

That ain't like any
tornado I ever seen.

Dust storm!

Everybody get inside!

Inside, come on! Let's
go, let's go, let's go!

Everybody haul ass inside, now!

Little sand never hurt nobody.

Get in! If you have any hatches,

now is the time to
batten them down!

Kinnear! Hit the bay doors!

Come on! Inside, get inside!

April! Where are you?

Go, go, go, go. Ma'am,
you got to get inside.

No, my daughter. She
was playing right there.

And I w... I looked
down for one second.

I'll go look for her.

Come on. Come with me.

Come on, follow me, follow me.

Make sure she's
all right. I'll be back.

- Where the hell are you going?
- There's more people over there.

Breaking news as a
massive dust storm

35 miles wide and
nearly two miles tall

barrels across Austin,

with winds clocking
in at 65 miles per hour,

wreaking havoc
on a massive scale.

So much for "no crazy
calls around here."

Yeah, we got the
126 in the house now.

- We bring the crazy.
- Unfortunately, first responders

won't really know
what they're up against

ntil the dust
starts to clear. u.

All right, everybody gear up.

The second the storm
passes, we're out.

Man, that's like something
out of The Mummy.

How the hell does one of
these things even start anyway?

They happen in Lebanon.

All it takes is a down burst
of low-pressure air

into a big, dry patch
of soil and boom,

- you've got yourself a haboob.
- Say what?

Haboob. Massive dust storm.
That's what they're called.

- That's just not right.
- I know. Mother Nature ain't no joke.

No, I mean that she just
said the word "haboob"

and Probie wasn't
here to enjoy it.

Hey, get away from the bus!

Hey! Get away!

Get away, come on!

Hey, come on, come on. Come on.

- Hey, wait.
- Yeah?

Go find a land line, call 911.

Tell them there's
been a midair collision

over Wellsworth Square.

- Go! Go! Go!
- Okay, I'm going.

Ma'am?

Aah!

I see you! I see
you! I'm coming!

- Where-where does it hurt?
- My legs... I think they're broken.

Hey, you two, I need your help!

What's your name, sir?

Julian. Where am I?

Wellsworth Square.
You've been in an accident.

No. W-Was I-was I certified?

Don't worry about that right
now. Guys, this is Julian.

I think he may
have a concussion.

I need you to stay with
him and keep him talking

till help gets here,
okay? Thank you.

No worries.

I see.

All right, well, if you hear
anything you, let me know.

What's going on?

Seems like the
129 lost an engine.

- Along with its crew.
- What do you mean, lost?

They were out on a
call when the storm hit.

No one can reach them.

Hey, where are you going?

Got to find them.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Hey.

We already have people out
there looking for them, Owen.

Mateo Chavez... he's my probie.

He's with the 129 today.

Folks, if you can walk and talk

without too much pain,
have a seat in the green zone.

Broken bones,
non-life-threatening burns

yellow zone.

Anything more serious
than that, red zone,

so the first responders
know who to treat first.

Sir, are you on any medication?

Thyroid meds, and-and
heparin for my heart.

Heparin's a blood thinner. This
could make the hemorrhage worse.

I'm gonna need to
tourniquet your leg, okay?

- Hey, can I borrow your belt?
- Yeah, sure.

Here you go.

Hey, where the heck are they...

- The first responders?
- Sir, they're on their way.

It's gonna be tough
with the storm.

Little squeeze.

Aah!

Take him to the red zone.

See if you can
get him some water

- from one of the restaurants.
- All right.

Sir,

I need you to tell
the paramedics

that you're on medication.
It's very important.

I-I won't. God bless you, son.

Hey! Are any
firefighters here yet?

Some people need help.

I'm a firefighter.
Where are they?

I heard screaming on the
sixth floor on my way out.

I think they're
trapped in an elevator.

Of course they are.

Olks, we are getting our first
images of the damage done

by the dust storm. Authorities
are begging people to shelter

in place, as scores of pileups

have been reported from
Round Rock to West Lake Hills.

With emergency calls
coming from all parts of the city,

first responders are
spread to their limit.

You think we can get
the rig out of the garage?

Yeah. I know where
they keep the keys.

WOMAN It came out of nowhere!

Mommy, you need to go.

No. Babies, Mommy
doesn't work today.

But you heard him.
Those people need help.

They need you.

Fire station 129,

this is Firefighter Trout.

Yeah, this is Captain
Owen Strand, 126.

I'm call to see if
you've heard from

your missing engine.

No, our-our ladder's
out looking for 'em now.

Do you have any idea if
Mateo Chavez was on it?

Yeah, the probie kid.

Yeah, he, he
didn't go with them.

He-he went out to pick up
a lunch order for the house.

And you haven't
heard from him either?

Not that I know of, no.

Where'd you order lunch from?

Well, alive is good. Do
you know where you are?

My backyard.

Can you give me your address?

3412 Crockett Creek.

Did something
collapse on you, ma'am?

No, I'm in a storage box.

Did you say a storage box?

I was gardening. I took
cover when the storm hit.

And-and now I can't get it open.

We are getting
reports of, dust drifts

up to eight feet high.

Is this Margaret Gilbert?

- Yes.
- Try to stay calm.

Now, I see you live
with your husband.

Is he at home?

He was taking a nap
when I came outside.

- He's not answering.
- Okay.

I'm gonna try him anyway.
Is he the 0470 number?

- Yes.
- Okay.

This is Hammond,

nd, shoot... you
just missed me. a.

- Right to voice mail.
- God.

I can't breathe. I-I... I'm
having trouble breathing.

- I can't breathe!
- Margaret, listen,

if you can talk, then
you can breathe, okay?

Now, I know it's difficult,

but I need you to take
slow, deep breaths

to conserve your oxygen.

- Okay.
- Margaret,

we're not gonna wait
for first responders.

Now, we are gonna
get you out of there.

I need you to keep your
head for me, though,

okay? You said you were -Okay.

In a storage box... what
do you keep in there?

- Gardening supplies.
- Okay, now,

does that mean you
have tools in there?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Okay, good. Can you
reach any of them?

I don't know.

- I've got a hand trowel.
- Okay, good.

What's the box made out of?

W-Wood. Pi-Pine, I think.

Okay, pine box. Same
as an old-school coffin.

That's perfect.

Perfect?

How is that perfect?

I'm following protocols
for someone buried alive

in a coffin.

Which I didn't even know we had.

Okay, listen, Margaret, I
need you to take the trowel

and place it in the
center of the lid.

That's where it
should be its weakest.

I need you to hit the
center as hard as you can.

Okay.

No, Grace,

it's not

- it's not-it's not working.
- It's gonna work, Margaret.

We just have to get it to
crack, okay? Don't stop.

Aah! It's cracking!
It's cracking!

- Keep going.
- My God.

I can get my hands through!

It's just dirt! More dirt!

- It's coming in!
- That's what we want.

Now, the weight of the
dirt and gravity should help

get you out of that box.

Argaret, listen,
before you do, -M

we need you to protect
your airways on your way out.

Now, are you able
to remove your shirt?

Can a sweater work?

Yes. Yes, use that.

Okay. Okay. It's on.

Okay, good. Now, try
to wriggle your body

so that your arms
come out first.

Keep climbing until
you reach the surface.

Do not stop,
Margaret. You can do it.

Okay.

Aah! I'm out!

Yeah, you are.

Good job, Margaret.

Margaret?

What are you doing?

Everything ready with the rig?

Gassed, stocked
and ready to rock.

All right. Girls,

you mind your
babysitter, you promise?

- We promise!
- We promise!

- Adorable.
- Right?

Don't you worry about
us. Go save the world.

Go! Get out of here!

Hello! Anybody there?

Yes! We're in here!

Help us! Please help us!

We're stuck in here!

Austin Fire, I'm
gonna get you out.

The fire department's here.

We're gonna be okay.

Aah! Please hurry!

It feels like it's
going to fall!

I just have to get
these doors open.

How many people
are in there? Five.

There-There's five of
us. What happened?

It felt like a bomb went off.

Airplane hit the building.

My God, terrorists?

Mother Nature. Is
anybody injured?

I-I don't think so.
We're just soaked.

- A pipe burst or something?
- I don't think it's water.

It-it smells like chemicals.

It's giving me a headache.

I thought you said the
fire department was here.

I am the fire department.

God. We're gonna die.

Hey. You're not gonna die.

- Cap?
- Nobody move.

Nobody use their
phones. Nobody vape.

Cap, how'd you find me?

- I followed your trail.
- Of patty melts?

Of rescues.

Cool. I was using that
to pry the doors open.

No. No, listen, they're
standing in jet fuel.

That's what that smell is.

If we use anything
metal to open those doors

- that throws a spark...
- The whole thing goes up.

- Strickland, Marwani.
- Yep?

Start triaging until
medical lands.

Cap?

I think somebody
already took care of triage.

Who? We're the first
company on scene.

Excuse me, guys, who
separated you into these groups?

That, handsome firefighter.

Hey, I'll be damned.

Hey, you mean him, don't you?

No.

Him.

- Hey, Cap.
- Hey, guys.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey

rubber mallets, wooden blocks.

What is happening?

All right, everybody,
we're back.

Brought some
friends along to help.

All right, now, listen, when
we get these doors open,

you've got to be ready to
help everybody out, okay?

- Okay, got it.
- All right.

Cap?

I'm aware.

Be ready, people.

- All right, that's it.
- All right, everybody,

- Hurry up, let's go.
- Everybody, let's go.

Move, move, move, quick!

Okay, folks, come on out.

Bridget, you first. Graham,
help me get her up.

- Watch your head.
- Come on.

Yep.

- You too, come on, come on.
- Yeah.

There you go. Straight
out, straight out.

Good. Good, good, good.

What's that?

Aah! Help me!

- Help me! Graham, don't move.
- Graham!

- Help!
- Hold still. Don't move.

Help!

Cap, what are you doing?

Cap, get out of there!

Okay. Come on, grab my hand.

Let's go.

I gotcha. All right.

You guys got him?

Get out! Cap!

Help me pull him
in. Grab his arm.

All right, we got
you, we got you.

No major injuries, but
they're covered in jet fuel.

You're gonna want to hose
them down before you travel them.

We can help with that.

This way, folks.

This way. Garcia,
hook up a booster line.

Grunt.

Grunt, is that you?

Captain Tatum.

What in Sam Hill are
you doing over here?

I was in the neighborhood
picking up lunch

when the storm hit.

I think you need to reread
your academy manual, son.

Hank, what's the protocol
for being separated

from one's house in
the field? A firefighter

is to radio dispatch and
his commanding officer

of their current
situation immediately.

That'd be a fail, grunt.

KP duty for a month.

Not that you did any better
today. Isn't that right, Cap?

Excuse me?

- And you are?
- Owen Strand.

Special assistant
to the deputy chief.

And this man's actual captain.

And the only reason
that I'm out here today

is your rig didn't
check in for hours.

That's different. We broke
down in the dust storm,

killed all our comms.

Y'all thought it was smart

to drive around
through the dust storm?

Talk about breaking protocols.

It snuck up on us.

Hey, you.

You think it's funny, grunt?

Start wiping down this rig.

I want it dust-free by the
time we're done with this call.

That really necessary, Captain?

It's cool. I-I got it.

Captain Tatum, I'll
wipe down your cab,

I'll pick up your fatty foods,

I'll scrub your
disgusting floors.

'Cause that's who I am.

At least he's a happy grunt.

No, I'm a firefighter!

And I've already reread the
FD manual, like, five times!

Listened to it, actually,
because my friends

recorded it for me.

So I've learned how
to respond to toxic spills

and dumpster fires, all
of which was great training

for working with
you guys at the 129.

Yeah.

Hope you enjoyed
yourself, insubordinate little...

Captain, hey...

Medics! Hey, we need a medic!

Make a hole. Captain.

Didn't expect to see
you out here today.

Likewise. What happened here?

I don't know. He started
ripping me a new one

and then he started
foaming at the mouth.

TK, check his O2 levels,
Nancy, get the Ambu bag.

Judging by the sputum,
he's aspirated a lot of dust.

Can anybody tell me if he
was in the storm when it started?

We were stuck on the side of
the road trying to fix our engine.

But why would it start now?

His trachea's
probably been swelling

this whole time. The
yelling put him over the top.

Cap, no chest
rise. O2 sats falling.

His airway's closed up.
He's drowning in dust.

Nancy, prep to intubate.

Hang in there, Captain.

Cap, I can't get it in.

His vocal cords
are way too swollen.

- Should we trach him?
- No. Not in this dust.

We're gonna have to go
through the eye of the needle.

TK, hand me the bougie.

Slide over.

Cap, he's cyanotic.

We're losing him.

Come on.

Got it.

Come on, Captain.

Hey. His O2 levels are rising
and his heart's stabilizing.

He's pinking up.

There you are.

Welcome back, Captain.

Nancy, can you
take it from here?

Good hands, Captain.

Rescue 126. Hey!

Yeah!

Buttercup. Come on. Yo, Carlos,

you should've seen our boy
putting that ass hat captain

on blast in front of everyone.

Yo, hey, man, what did you say?

It was all a white-hot blur.

You called them a
toxic dumpster fire.

I have never been
prouder of anyone in my life.

For real?

Yeah, babe, seriously,

it was, like, the
mother of all mic drops.

He slayed him.
I mean, literally.

Dude dropped to the
ground choking on dirt

and his own bile.

Don't worry, he lived.

Wow. That all sounds pretty...

- Epic?
- It was wicked.

I was gonna say "insane."

Mateo, aren't you worried

about what that
captain might do to you?

Nah. 'Cause at the end of
the day, he's not my captain.

Not really.

And I'm definitely
not his probie.

Right, but he could
still put you through hell.

More like purgatory.

I just got to survive him and
the rest of those 129 D-bags

a little while longer.

Then it's back to the
promised land of the 126, baby.

Come on, y'all,
can I get a amen?

Pardon our dust.

Sometimes I feel like the dust

has been chasing
me for 20 years.

Well,

it ain't caught you yet, so...

Thank you, Cap.

So how did, Deputy Chief
Radford take you spurning him?

I didn't spurn him.

Well, all right, you dismissed
his heartfelt offer out of hand.

- What would you call that?
- Maybe I did spurn him.

But you know what? He-he
took it with a ton of grace,

and I think he understands
that it's for a great cause.

It's for the best cause.

The 126.

126.

They give you any
sense at headquarters

when they think they'll get
the station back up on its feet?

I mean, come on,
these bureaucrats

need 17 different signatures
to change a light bulb.

Damn. That red
tape is no joke, man.

May as well be trying
to cut through steel.

That's it.

What's I... what's it?

We're firefighters.

We cut through
steel all the time.

All right, everything
charred goes.

I don't care if it's on
the walls, on the floor

or if it's my espresso maker.

It goes.

Get your chisels, your
scrapers and your demo bars.

And Mateo, here you go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. No fair.

Why does he get
the sledgehammer?

Because I called
it on the ride over.

And today's my shoulder day.

Yeah, right, Probie.

It has nothing to do with Thor?

Also, Thor.

Also, not probie. Not anymore.

When we open this firehouse,

you are looking at
Firefighter Mateo Chavez.

Seriously?

- My boy.
- Come on, come on!

Cap.

You brought the whole squad.

The squad insisted.

How are my favorite
goddaughters doing?

We're doing good.

Carlos!

Well, okay, then.

Miss Tommy,

this mean you change your mind?

The girls wouldn't
have it any other way.

I have no idea how we're
gonna make this work,

but... these are my people.

This is home.

Yeah, it is.

Well, Cap,

looks like the boys
pulled through.

They sure did.

Hey, what do you say, Billy?

I thought you had, that
meeting or whatever.

Yeah, we finished early.

Good. Well,
welcome to the party.

You're a little
overdressed, there, Cap.

Well, as it turns out,

I'm not gonna be a
captain for much longer.

No, no, no. Don't tell me
they shut down your firehouse.

Not exactly...

Hey, everyone, can you
hold the work for a second?

Come on over. I-I got
something I need to say.

I

Wanted y'all to be
the first to hear this,

direct from me.

As soon as Deputy
Chief Radford's retirement

is official,

I'm gonna be Austin's
new deputy chief.

Hey, that's amazing.

Congratulations, Billy. Yeah.

Thank you. I think
everybody here knows

that I consider
this firehouse to be

sacred ground.

I want y'all to know...
Each and every one of you...

You have lived up
to the great legacy

of these fine men.

That's about the highest
compliment I could ever pay you.

Which

makes this next part so hard.

There's no reason to continue
what you're doing here today.

We're shutting down
the 126. Permanently.

This department is
headed for a financial crisis.

I just read a very
persuasive report

that says there's gonna
be dire consequences

if we don't start making
the hard choices.

I wrote that report.

Yes, you did.

Wait, so we're never
getting back together?

I understand it is
a painful sacrifice.

But it is for the greater good.

But you're not deputy
chief yet, are you?

No, not yet.

Good.
