Hello, everybody.

Thanks for spending your
mornings with us today.

Angelenos waking up a
little bit on edge today

after a second package bomb has exploded

in the Southland in as many days.

Now, the first victim,

Miranda Filson, she's a
criminal defense attorney

from South Pasadena, and
somehow survived the blast.

The second victim, a
retired insurance adjustor,

is clinging to life at this very hour.

Now, authorities are urging
the public: stay vigilant.

If you see something, say something.

If the truck's parked in a
driveway with its hazards on,

it's probably just making a delivery.

No, sir. Having a
foreign-sounding last name

is not reason enough for
me to send the police out

to investigate your neighbors.

Uh, uh, I'm sorry.

Ma'am, I'm having some
trouble hearing you.

Are you being attacked by a dog?

No! That's my dog!

We've got the bomber pinned down!

- Send the cops!
- Ah! Stop it!

- Good boy, Titus.
- God, help me. She's crazy.

You say you have the bomber pinned down?

I caught him putting a package

- in my mailbox.
- I'm the mailman!

- Ma'am, he says he's the mailman.
- He's not my mailman.

- My mailman's Larry.
- Stop! Stop it!

Larry's out for two
weeks with foot surgery!

I think he did

- something to Larry.
- Okay, I'm dispatching

a unit to your location.

And, ma'am, I suggest you
put Titus back in the house

- before the officers arrive.
- You got to help me here.

911. What's your emergency?

Oh, my God, there's a backpack!

- There's a backpack outside
- Ma'am?

Brookside Elementary!

- Send the cops! Quick! Please!
- Ma'am, slow down.

Tell me again, where
was the backpack found?

Keep moving.

All right, everyone, as close

and as tight to the truck as you can be.

All right, stay tucked
in, stay tucked in.

You guys are doing great. Thank you.

Teacher spotted it
out there after recess.

Nobody claimed it.

Yeah, but it's not a package.

I thought this guy sent
his bombs through the mail.

- Maybe he changed his M.O.
- Or inspired some other crazy.

Air 32 on TAC 1. Moving into position.

We have visual.

Repeat, we have visual.

- Carlos, what do we got?
- Unclear.

Some metallic component is
interfering with the image.

Shall we travel it?

I repeat, shall we travel it?

Let's not take any chances.

Proceed with controlled detonation.

Copy that.

All units, be advised!

- Fire in the hole.
- Stay tucked in.

- On my mark!
- Down, down, down.

Three...

two...

one.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stay
back, stay back, stay back.

Easy.

Substance appears to be some
kind of... grayish paste.

It's tuna fish.

Emily. Was that your lunch?

- Yes.
- Why didn't you say something?

I don't like tuna fish.

Am I under arrest?

These false alarms are
almost more nerve-wracking

- than the real thing.
- Don't even think that.

Maybe the whole thing is a false alarm.

- Maybe it's over.
- Maybe.

All-clear given.

All-clear given. There is no bomb.

All students and staff are
permitted to enter the campus.

Engine 118 is on the scene.

Central. 10-24. We are en route now.

Okay, this is our final contestant.

Okay.

- Mmm! Mmm, mmm!
- You're picking a cake

but haven't even decided on the venue?

The cake is how we're picking the venue.

Yeah, it seems silly
to run all over town

looking at yachts and
ballrooms and country clubs,

so we settled on three restaurants

- that can all do a wedding.
- Bought a cake from each.

Best cake wins.

Have you guys finalized
your guest list yet?

That all depends.

Your mother won't allow
me to put Chief Alonzo

on the guest list till
my suspension is lifted.

Which needs to happen
by the end of the week.

I still don't understand why you
guys are doing a stupid wedding.

Baby, I thought you were good

with me and Bobby getting married.

Because if you're not,
if you need more time...

No. It's fine.

You guys can get married.

It's just...

I don't want to wear a
tux, or dance with May.

Well, who said you had to wear a tux?

Mom, it's a wedding. Of
course he has to wear a tux.

Tuxedos are stupid.

And plus, I'm way too
old to be a ring bearer.

Oh, aw,

but you're exactly the right
age to walk me down the aisle.

Hmm? This wedding isn't
just about me and Bobby.

It's about us... the three of us...

choosing to make Bobby
a part of our family.

Now, we all walk down that
aisle together or not at all.

Okay. Together.

Maybe just without the tux?

He is growing up way too fast.

Mm, he was so brave
yesterday at the funeral.

Bravest kid I know.

Yep, yep. Just like his father.

His mom was pretty brave, too.

How? By running out on him?

Ramon.

Papi, we're not doing this.

I apologize.

Look, honey, um...

we know Shannon loved Christopher.

- Of course, Mom.
- Okay.

But she's gone...

and you are a single father, again,

okay, and the hours you work, Eddie...

Come home.

- To El Paso?
- Texas has fires, too.

You could join a department there.

Dad.

It's not that simple.

I'm still a probationary firefighter.

I'm so close to earning my shield.

You want me to just throw
away the last year of my life?

Right.

Is that why you all flew in here, huh?

Not for the funeral,

but to bring us back, was that the plan?

Yeah, and we could help
you, and Christopher

would be close to family, and
you could have a life there.

We have a life here, and family.

Thank you, Eddie.

We are sitting right here.

I won't uproot him again.

Christopher hasn't been here long enough

to put down roots... he spent

the first six years
of his life in El Paso,

with us.

Being with me is what's
best for Christopher.

I chose this life for a reason.

You can choose another one.

How's the line look?

35, 50 people tops.

And most of them standing against
the gate looking at their phone.

People are probably staying
home 'cause of the bomber.

Time was, there'd be 30, 40,

hell, even 50,000 fans out there.

I mean, we played stadiums
halfway around the globe.

Yeah? Well, folks got the Internet now.

If they want to see dumb
people doing stupid things,

they can just get it for free online.

Hey, hey, who you calling stupid?

You're dumb. The car is stupid.

This whole production, actually.

Will you quit your complaining?

You wanted me to retire. Fine.

But first...

I'm gonna give 'em a show.

Right now, I'm looking at a
useless heap of rusted junk...

and then there's the car.

Har-har.

Me and this car got a
lot of miles left on us.

Baby.

This is dangerous.

You might be my fourth wife,

but Janis here, she's my first love.

I think you just want to go
out in a big old blaze of glory.

Yeah? Well, if it means
I'd get one single minute

- of peace and quiet...
- Hey!

... so be it.

Try her now.

Try her now!

Okay!

Roy!

Roy!

9-1-1, what's your emergency?

My husband! His car,
it's eating him alive.

I think this bitch is finally
getting her revenge!

Be careful what you do, okay?

- I know, I know.
- Do you know what y...

- Just be quiet. Be quiet!
- Where you going? Where you...

- Ma'am, what happened?
- He got himself all caught up

in the engine... it just, it
just sucked him straight in.

"She," damn it! The car is a she!

Let this be a lesson to you, Roy.

You mistreat a woman, they
mistreat you right back.

You know, I-I've been trying
to, like, cut him loose,

but I can't quite get in there.

Let's get down there
and see what we can do.

Oh.

Sir, I need you to
keep very, very still.

Any chance you can get me
loose without cutting the hair?

- It's kind of my trademark, you know?
- Forget the hair!

- You've been scalped.
- What?!

That's what I've
been trying to tell you.

You know, this isn't even
the worst he's been hurt.

Okay, ma'am, I need you to give us

- some room to work, okay?
- What? Why?

Yeah, I can see why she
couldn't get in there.

His hair is too tightly
wound into the belt.

We can't cut him free
without pulling at the wound

and making it worse.

We'll have to come at it sideways.

Sideways? What do you mean, sideways?

We're gonna have
to cut the engine belt

and remove the alternator,

probably the crankshaft pulley,
whatever's in the way to get you free.

Like hell you are!

We need to locate that piston.

That hood's a one-of-a-kind.

Just be careful. Please.

We'll need a socket
wrench for that crankshaft.

Oh, man.

Ooh.

Oh, don't put that over there.

- Oh, God.
- One, two...

Just hold on.

Almost there.

- You're killing her!
- Try to relax, sir. We're almost there.

How can I relax? You're
killing my car, man.

Oh, man.

Thought you wanted a blaze of glory.

Setting you on fire, now that
would be a glorious blaze.

Please, sir, do not move! Do not move!

Damn it. He pulled the occipital vein.

- Cap, he's gonna bleed out.
- All right, let's step it up, guys.

- Hen, what's going on down here?
- I'm almost there.

Oh, God, don't let him die, you guys.

I love the bastard.

- Almost there.
- Maude, I swear to you,

honey, if I get out of this alive,

I'll never do a reckless thing ever.

I'm done with that life.

It's okay, baby,
we're gonna get you out.

It's coming, coming, coming.

I'm here, baby.

Got it.

Let's raise him up, nice and easy.

Oh!

You dumb fool.

All this just to impress
a couple dozen people?

Not them.

You.

All you got to do to impress me is live.

- He'll live.
- I will?

You hear that, Maude?

I'm gonna live.

Keep the parts safe, honey.

Call the promoter.

A couple of stitches,

a decent toupee, we can do
this comeback tour next week.

I'm back, baby!

Roy, you son of a bi...

It has a full kitchen
with a quartz backsplash,

spacious master bathroom,
elevated sleeping area.

And the view.

You cannot put a price on that.

Yeah, but, mm, you did.

There's wiggle room.

Well, we are all about
the wiggle room, right?

Yeah.

I like it.

Open floor plan.

Touch of modern.

A little raw.

I see the potential.

- Do you, now?
- Yeah.

We could, uh, we could have
you living like a real adult.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

This would be my first place

all on my own.

Oh. I assumed you'd be
living here together.

Oh, uh, no.

No, this is... She's just my decorator.

Uh, no. We, uh...

We're just not quite at that stage yet.

Yeah, not quite.

We're at the stage where
I'm ready for his man cave

to get a little more natural light.

I travel a lot for work,

- and he's...
- Better than a hotel.

Oh, yeah. A lot better.

Let's talk closet space.

Hey, guys, it's Becca.

I'm back from Belize,

and I am super pumped to
tell you all about my trip

and the amazing new products I tried.

So, thanks to my partnership
with Pouty Gal Lip Wear,

we got to tour all over.

The Belizeans are so adore,

and, like, even though they
don't have a lot of money

or whatever, they're still,
like, super happy to serve you

and always smiling,
and I just love them.

I mean, I'm, like, totally
reeling from all that travel,

but, you know, that's the life I chose.

Like, putting myself out there

to find you guys next-level products

to make you look and feel beautiful,

even when I don't.

'Cause you see this?

Oh. Oh, gosh. This
is so gross, you guys.

Okay, well, um, it happens.

You know, this is real life,

and I'm always gonna
keep it 100 with you guys,

which is why today I will be showing you

the proper way to pop a pimple.

What you want to do...

is start away

from the whitehead and
just gently apply pressure

to the surrounding area.

Like...

Just squeeze, like...

Oh, God, you guys.

Oh, this is the worst zit ever.

Ow.

Oh, ow.

What?

Mommy! Mommy! Get it off!

Get it off! Get it off!

Siri!

Call 911.

Help.

Over here. My arm.

- Guys?
- Yeah.

I can feel it, but I can't move it.

Like, really hurts on my shoulder.

Looks like a fractured clavicle.

- We're gonna sit you up.
- Okay.

- There we go.
- Ow.

Uh, dispatch said
something about an animal?

Yeah, it, um, came out of my face.

What are we looking for, exactly?

It was like a little, little worm.

- Or like a grub, maybe.
- Like a maggot?

Oh, don't say "maggot."

- Maggot.
- You been out of the country lately?

Uh, yeah, I actually do a
lot of traveling for work.

What do you do?

Uh, I'm a beauty and fashion influencer.

Has your circle of influence included

Central and South America?

No. No.

I mean, I did just get back from Belize.

Belize is in Central America.

Oh. Are you sure?

- Pretty sure.
- Botfly.

Parasite indigenous to
Central and South America,

including Belize. They
reproduce by trapping mosquitoes

and laying their eggs on them.

And then when the mosquito lands on you,

the egg hatches and crawls
right into the feeding site.

Luckily it looks like

you got it out all in one piece.

They'll be able to extract
the rest at the hospital.

- The rest?
- Think of them as new followers.

- Gross!
- Let's get you up.

Ow.

Oh, my God, wait.

No, no, no, no, can
somebody grab my phone?

No, go back. Hand me my phone.

Wait, you guys.

Hi, guys. Later.

First place.

A-plus, my man.

It's a science project, Dad.

He didn't, like, get into MIT.

Hey, it's an engineering project.

Kid takes after his
pops. What can I say?

Hey, what's that?

Uh... package for Mom.

Harry! Don't move!

Contact the bomb squad.

You guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

Oh.

- Oh, thank God you were here.
- You know, something

- just looked wrong, you know?
- Sergeant Grant.

Yeah.

Shawn Boyd. ATF. I'm running point

on the serial bomber task force.

So it's confirmed?

I'm on this guy's mailing list?

We think so.

Gold foil seems to be consistent
with the other three bombings.

- Three?
- We found another this morning.

Vernon Clemmons.

L.A. Superior Court judge. You know him?

I've been in his
courtroom more than once.

Is he okay?

Pronounced dead on the scene.

- Are you gonna take it with you?
- We're gonna try.

Could be some valuable
evidence inside that box.

Every package has gone
off as soon as someone...

... moves it.

That was it?

Thank you, Officer.

Yeah. Hey, I got here
as fast as I could.

They wouldn't let me down the street.

Oh. Do they have any
idea who's doing this?

Yeah, well, I keep
running it in my head.

I was at the first bombing, but
the woman doesn't look familiar.

Not her name or her face.

They say she's a defense lawyer.

We must've crossed
paths, but I-I just...

You've been doing this for a while.

You're not gonna remember
every attorney you've ever met.

They also showed me a photo
of the insurance adjuster.

He didn't look familiar, but
the only one that I am sure of

is Judge Clemmons.

Clemmons? Why does
that that sound familiar?

Sergeant Grant.

Do you remember working an arson
case about three years back?

It was a restaurant.

Guillermo's.

I, um... Agent Boyd, this
is Captain Nash of LAFD.

We worked on that case together.

It's the only time I've had to
testify since I moved to L. A.

The owner was Victor Costas.

He got six years. Should
still be in prison.

Well, released early,
on account of he's dead.

About three months ago. Cancer.

He had a wife and a kid. A teenager.

And the son, his son, was really angry

when his father got arrested.

Father's dead.

I wonder how angry he is now.

I can't help you. I don't
know where Freddie is.

I haven't seen him
since Victor's funeral.

Yeah, I heard about
your husband's death.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Are you?

You put him in there.

Now you want to put Freddie away, too.

He's hurt a lot of people, Mrs. Costas.

Killed a judge.

I don't know anything about that.

Maybe. At first.

Mrs. Filson defends criminals.
Probably had a lot of enemies.

Then the insurance adjuster,

who's on life support, by the way,

you told yourself what?

It was a coincidence? Couldn't be true?

We lost everything.

Insurance wouldn't pay.

All our creditors sued us.

We sold everything we had
to pay for that lawyer,

and what did we get?

A death sentence.

Prison broke my husband,

and then it killed him.

So Freddie was angry.

At the lawyer, at the judge,

at the insurance company.

Who else is he angry at, Mrs. Costas?

Bomb squad just cleared
your home, Captain Nash.

Nothing there.

Well, I guess that's a relief.

It doesn't make sense, though.

I was there the day
his father was arrested.

He said you blew up their lives.

Maybe he's saving Captain Nash for last.

Hasn't sent the bomb yet.

Or maybe you searched the wrong house.

118, 118, this is Dispatch.

Got Bobby Nash on the line.
He says it's important.

Wait, what? Dispatch?

Dispatch, please repeat.

Ow. Oh!

You're new.

If you're just joining us,

witnesses are reporting
that this LAFD ladder truck,

belonging to station house 118,

was hit by some kind of an explosive

as it was making its way to a call.

Now, you can see there's a firefighter

pinned under that truck...

Looks like a crush injury.

Those can be tricky.

Hypovolemic shock. Hyperkalemia.

He's all alone.

He's not.

He's surrounded by people
who want to help him.

Then how come no one's running in there?

They can't. You know that.

We've got a perimeter set
up, but we're just guessing

the blast radius on that thing.

Can't toss him a phone.
We're not sure what kind

- of signal he's operating on.
- Dispatch,

this is Captain 118. What is the play?

I've got people dying in the street.

Hold your position, 118.

Get me the captain!

Where's the captain?!

- Hey...
- I told you not to move.

Cap-Cap...

- Cap!
- I'm the captain, okay?

I'm the captain, so please just
let me help them, okay? Please.

No. No, I don't want you.

I want Captain Nash.

I love you.

Captain Nash! Don't confront him!

- He wants me.
- He wants you dead!

- Let's give him what he wants.
- Captain Nash!

Shoot me if you have to.

This is unexpected. A civilian now

confronting the young
man with that vest.

We've got no details
on this man's identity.

Freddie!

Thought you'd be on the truck.

I'm here now.

How far away are you?

What's next?

It's what you wanted.

Wanted you dead.

I get that.

But what about them?

What about him?

He's got parents, a
sister, a girlfriend,

and he never did anything to you.

He wasn't even a firefighter

when your father burned
down that restaurant.

Collateral damage.

Is that how you see yourself?

- An unintended victim in all this?
- Stop.

One more step, we all go boom.

Freddie, you got dealt a bad
hand, and I am sorry about that.

But what you did with
it... that's a choice.

You stopped being a victim the
moment you left that first bomb.

- That lawyer! She...
- Did her job.

We were all doing our jobs.

Destroying my family.

My mom and I lost everything.

She was in so much pain.

Want to make it worse? You
want to make her watch you die?

- Freddie.
- Mom.

No, no, no!

Freeze! Freeze!

- Don't move!
- Dead-man's trigger.

Roger that. All clear.

Copy that.

Still with us, Buck?

Buck, how we doing?

- Kind of numb.
- I'm gonna run two lines.

- Skin is cold and pale.
- All right.

Push sodium bicarbonate.
Just hang in there, Buckaroo.

Hang on, Buck.

This is Captain 118.

We've got a probable crush injury.

I need all hands on
deck to move this truck

and clear a path to the
nearest trauma center.

- How's he doing, Chimney?
- We're out of time, Cap.

All right, let's try to
lift this off him, yeah?

Try to lift this off him!

Okay, okay, we got to try to lift this!

Well, that firefighter

really appears to have taken
the brunt of all of this.

That's an entire ladder
truck that you see there.

We can only hope for
the best at this point.

- Get a hand on.
- Come in! Come in! Come in!

Get some hands
in here. Let's lift this.

- You ready?
- Hang in there, Buck.

- Ready!
- Lift!

Come on!

- Come on, come on!
- Got to lift higher!

- One more time, guys. Ready?
- Hang in there. Hang in there.

One, two, three, lift!

Come on!

Lift a little higher!

Higher!

Hang on, Buck.

She's too heavy.

We got anything on the truck
we can use for leverage?

No. We need more people.

I'll radio again.

Dispatch, this is the captain.

All right, stand by. Now, look at this.

Bystanders stepping in.
They're gonna help out.

This really is an amazing
scene that's unfolding.

What an incredible show
of support and gratitude.

- We can do this!
- Get in here!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Everybody, put a hand in where you can!

On three.

One... two... three!

Okay, we got him!

We got him! We got him!

He's almost clear! Hold it!

Keep pulling! All right, we got him out!

What a great moment for this city.

- Go!
- A great moment for all of us.

All right, we're gonna lift
him onto the board on three.

One, two, three!

Again.

One, two, three!

We good?

- Stay with us, Buck.
- Just stay with us, kid.

Hospital's four minutes away, okay?

Come on.

Hang on there, buddy.

This kind of brings me
back to the earthquake,

with all those expressions
of love this city had

for its first responders.

Here we go again, live on television.

You're a fool.

But I love you, too.

Welcome back.

Carla...

- You-You're here.
- Of course I'm here.

Hey, if I see my friend on the news

being crushed by a fire truck, I'm here.

Okay, okay, okay, Buckaroo.
All right, all right.

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

Is it? Did you speak to the doctor?

Did he say anything about
how the surgery went?

Just that you made it through.

And you're now the proud owner
of one titanium rod and four

beautifully cobalt-chromed screws.

You were hoping for something more?

Before they wheeled me in, he, uh...

he said he didn't know
how it was gonna go.

You'll walk again.

Yeah. He-he said...

he said he was pretty
confident about that.

He, uh, he just... he didn't
know if I would ever...

work again.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you

and tell you that it's
gonna be all right.

But I don't think you need to
be borrowing trouble, not yet.

Let's just take this moment
and be glad that you're alive.

Ali seems nice.

- You met Ali?
- Mm.

So we're into brunettes now.

She was actually blonde when I met her.

Oh, so we're just gonna
cover the waterfront.

Carla...

He's awake.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Hey...

Hey.

You were in surgery for a while.

Too long.

Thank you for being here.

I would like it noted that
he didn't thank either of us.

Girl, I don't think he knows

- we're still in the room.
- Right?

It's Caltech, part-time.

So it'd be half the money but
twice as many hours at home.

Remember when working
remotely wasn't even a thing?

Like it was yesterday.

I guess in the grand scheme
of time, it was yesterday.

If only you could do that.

Bite your tongue.

The day I'm working from home,
our damn house is on fire.

I figure it'll be good to
have more time with Denny...

and anyone else who might come along.

You see what you did there?

Just dropped it, quiet-like.

Well, I've been thinking.

I am a woman of a certain age...

Well, if there's anybody who
can strong-arm Mother Nature,

it's you.

Are you serious about this?

It's not like we never talked about it.

- We had a whole plan and then...
- Denny.

We weren't sure if we were making

the right decision that time either.

But there has never been a day

I regret choosing being his mom.

Do you?

You and that man

are the two things that
get me home every day.

A couple more footsteps stomping
around the house might be nice.

Now that is a hell of a thing.

- It's a loaner.
- A loaner?

Chim, for real?

I'm kidding. We own it.

With the caveat that we
are not allowed to flip,

crash, or blow her up any time soon.

- Oh.
- But I made no promises.

Cap. You're back.

I'm back.

Well, it's kind of hard to fire a guy

who was a hero on the 6:00 news.

Imagine the letters they would get.

Not to mention
the fiery tweet-storm

that'd rain down on their
heads, starting with me.

Welcome back, Cap.

- About damn time.
- Thank you.

Feels great to be home.

But admit it, you do miss
Captain Han just a little.

Not even a little.

Things are finally getting back
to the way they should be.

Almost.

Easy, okay?

I don't want you to fall
and break the other one.

I am just glad to be
out of the hospital.

- Yeah?
- I miss my own bed...

which I won't see for
the next three months.

Guess I am sleeping down here.

You're like a perpetual roommate.

Even in your own place.

Lesson learned: Never sign a lease

if you intend on being
crushed by municipal equipment.

Mm. Uh, or better idea?

How about not get crushed
by municipal equipment?

- Huh. Now, why didn't I think of that?
- I don't know. Mm.

So...

have you, uh, have you
thought about what's next?

Once you take this thing off.

Why? Did-did the doctor
say something to you?

No.

Um, I don't... I don't know, you know.

I guess a lot of physical
therapy and then...

You'll probably want to just
get right back out there.

Yeah, of-of course, I mean...

You know, wh-what else?

Uh...

What? Come on, what's going on?

I watched you almost die.

- Yeah, but I didn't.
- But you could have.

- But I didn't.
- I know, I...

I know. Thank God.

Look, I... It's not like I didn't know

you were in a dangerous line of work

when I met you, you know, ten stories up

of a collapsing high rise.

- Exactly.
- That was one day...

one day of my life, Evan.

It's every day for you.

I'm just starting to really understand

- what that means.
- Wait, so-so you want me

to quit my job, that's what
you're asking me to do?

No, I would never... I would
never ask you to do that.

Listen.

I know it's who you are.

I'm just not sure...

If it's who you are.

Hey.

I don't know yet.

Okay?

Hi.

Hi.

Right. What am I doing here?

Um...

I asked you if things
were ever gonna be the same

and you said no.

You know, I've been thinking
about that a lot, too.

And, uh, I think maybe I was wrong.

I think you were right.

But that's okay because...

We're never gonna get back
what we would have had.

But maybe we could have something else.

You know, you were standing right there

when you asked me
out on a date, and, uh,

I'm not sure I'd ever been so happy.

Until right now.

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Come on, be careful.

Uh, were you gonna sew these
two pieces back together?

I don't think so.

Doesn't mean you had to rip them.

Uh-huh. Looks terrible.

It's gonna be fine, okay?

We're just gonna tuck it
in the top of your cast.

I don't even know why I'm taking you.

You shouldn't be on your
feet, you need to be healing.

Well, this is more important.

If I break anything else,
they can just fix that, too,

with the other stuff.

Wait. What other stuff?

They want me to have another surgery.

Uh, doctor wasn't happy with
what he saw on the X-rays,

so he wants to go back in and...

replace the rod and
do some bone grafts.

Well, do they think it's a
delayed union or nonunion?

I mean, if it's just healing
slower than expected,

- you could just wait a few weeks.
- I'm not waiting.

The sooner I have the surgery,
sooner I can go back to work.

So the doctor does want you to wait.

You should listen to him.

Okay. We're talking about your health.

Your ability to walk.

We're talking about
the rest of your life.

No, being a firefighter is my life.

It is the, the only thing I have
ever done that was important

and that mattered, okay?

- Without that, I-I-I don't have...
- You...

will still be Buck,

okay, and we will all love you.

There are lots of other important things

that you can do with your life.

No.

No, I've already made my choice.

People assume
we choose this life.

I'm not so sure.

Sometimes I think this life chooses us.

For those that answer the call,

there can be no doubt, no equivocation.

It's not just the lives of those
we serve that depend on us,

but our own.

The lives of our fellow
firefighters and first responders.

Today we welcome into
those ranks a new brother.

After a year of hard
work and dedication,

I am proud to officially declare

that your probationary
period is at an end.

Welcome to the Los
Angeles Fire Department,

- Firefighter Diaz.
- Thank you, sir.

What do you got for me, son?

- I got your helmet.
- Yeah, my helmet?

Congratulations.

Oh...

Thank you so much, Christopher.

An emergency
is the absence of choice.

The randomness of the world...

... the crazy chaos of life,

robbing us of our safety...

... our illusions.

But in those moments of darkness...

... and fear, we call out

to the light up ahead,
to the people we love.

We steal back that choice,

and we choose each other.

We choose friendship and family.

We choose hope.

We choose joy.

We choose to live.

Athena!

Hey. This is a surprise.

Figured you'd be going home
to sleep after your shift.

No, I wanted to see you first.

- That's so sweet.
- What are you doing today?

Oh, let's see, laundry,
grocery shopping, the usual.

What if we get married instead?

- Whoa.
- Go to the courthouse,

get our license, say
our vows, just do it.

"You, me and the kids."

That's all you said you needed.

And we have that now, today.

And if there's one thing you
and I know, it's that today

is the only thing you can be sure of.

So let's not waste
another moment waiting.

- Mm...
- All right, I'll change,

uh, we'll get the kids from school.

- I know you don't have a dress, but...
- No...

I have a dress.

So when the ground
shifts beneath our feet

and the storms rage around us,

it's all these people
that provide relief.

And offer shelter.

This is how we save ourselves,

by saving each other.

Because nobody, not anybody,

has ever been saved alone.
