All language subtitles for Station.19.S02E17.1080p.WEB.H264-METCON

Previously on "Station 19"...

There's this tactical paramedic
training program.

They recruited me.

Does that mean
you're leaving Seattle?

I was really ready to spend
the rest of my life with you.

I get to spend the rest of mine
with you.

Chief Ripley was a boss
to most of us.

As Lucas, he gave even more
to those he loved.

You are not coping.
It's a healthy first step.

Shut up! Just shut... shut up!

Hughes, right?

Don't tell me you're getting
a piece of that, too.

Everything okay?

The wildfire that hit L.A.
has progressed.

Fossils suggest wildfires
have been igniting

for 420 million years.

I'm...

I'm really glad you snuck out of
your place to sneak into mine

like this... but do we really
still need to sneak?

Dean knows.

Andy knows.

We had a funeral.

It was incredibly sad.

I need a palate cleanser
for all the sad.

Right now.

This planet
is intensely flammable.

Wildfires spark.

And catch.

And grow.

Nearly impossible to control.

So the question is,
at what point

do we stop trying to fight
the fire that's spreading...

and simply surrender to it?

You guys better be packed,
'cause we gotta go. Here.

You got in late last night.

I guess your date with Nikki
went well...?

I still can't believe
I didn't get to meet her.

What if I don't like her?

What if she's not good enough
for you?

Jack and I have opinions,
you know,

about whether or not someone's
up to our standards.

Nope. You do not get to have
any opinions about that.

Some things are for sharing,
and some things are not.

And, heads up,

there's literally just a door
between this room and yours.

So, you guys should know.

Sound carries.

Hey, is the ibuprofen in here?

Yeah.

How're you holding up?

Fine. Tired.

Nursing a funeral-hangover,

which is exactly like
a regular hangover,

only it wasn't preceded
by anything fun.

I'm not feeling my best
today, either.

Sorry, sorry. I'm in the way.

I'll start staying at Travis'
place when we get back.

You and Maya have been so great.

I'm just not ready to go
home-home yet, ya know...

You can stay as long
as you need.

I can't believe we got called
to the fire in L.A.

I've never been deployed

into the middle
of one of these before.

Structure fires are one thing,
but... today?

This is uncharted territory.

Yes, it is.

Sullivan said
bring the essentials.

What did you pack in this thing?

Toothbrush. T-shirts. Underwear.

And every textbook I could find
with a chapter on wildfires.

Fire's only 10% contained?

It's burned over 50,000 acres.

Cal Fire has been fighting it
for a week now.

They need all the help
they can get.

Enter, us.

Lousy timing, though.

Yeah, well, truthfully,

I'm glad to have something
of this scope

to focus on right now.

It's probably good for me, too.

I mean, with this Medic One
oral exam coming up,

I've been trying not to get
too in my head about it...

Can't get in my head when I'm
fighting a wildfire, right?

I probably shouldn't say
anything, but I got a call

from Medical Director Langworthy
asking for my opinion...

about you.

I told him he'd be crazy not to
add you to the Medic One team.

Thank you, sir.

Where do you want our bags?

Just put it right there.

Everybody.
I have something to say.

I've experienced wildfires
in Montana.

Skies will be clouded,
ash will be falling,

you will feel the heat
for miles.

The wind dictates the fire.

But what dictates our survival
is us, this team.

Each of us, together.

I know how intense
it'll be in L.A.

That's why I wanted to say to
all of you now, while I can...

Thank you, in advance,

for facing what you're
about to face.

We lost our Chief
and our friend,

but we are all still here.

Reporting for duty.

And I'm very proud of that.

We should let everyone know,
right?

About us?
Everyone's gonna freak out.

They always freak out.

What's Sullivan gonna think?

Is he gonna freak out?

What?

Okay, now I'm freaking out.

Where's Travis?

I've tried calling,
and no answer.

Isn't he coming?

He got himself into some trouble
last night.

Trip's 22 hours long.

We're leaving in 10 minutes,
with him or not.

Is he okay?

You were the last person I
thought I'd see sitting in here.

I shouldn't have gotten
so drunk.

Clearly.

I shouldn't have punched
that guy.

No, you shouldn't have.

Thing last night turned into
a full-blown bar fight.

You're lucky things
didn't get worse.

Sounds like you really did
a number

on that kid's face, Montgomery.

Luckily for you,
his Captain and I go way back.

Can't believe I have to keep
bailing people out

of this place.

You bailed me out one time.

Did you talk to anyone from 19?

19's a little busy.
They've been deployed to assist

with the wildfires
in L.A., so...

Okay, I gotta get outta here
so I can go with them.

Too late to join up with 19.

Andy just texted...
They're already on the road.

I know.
I wish I were going, too.

Well, I need to get on the road.

I just came by to grab
the last of my stuff

before I meet with Jenna
in San Diego.

Tactical Paramedic Program
starts this week.

Wonderful news. We'll come with.

- What?
- L.A.'s on the way.

That's really nice of you
to give us this lift, Tanner.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Montgomery, let's get packed.

Wait... Wait, what?

You and Gibson?

I hate road trips.

You... You and Gibson.

The information
will stay the same

no matter how many times
you repeat it.

Hey, I need this right now.

Give me this, okay?

Herrera, what about Sullivan?

What... about him?

What is his take on two of his
Lieutenants hooking up?

You're buddies now.
What's he think?

Um, no idea. Never discussed it.

I guess, technically,
it's not a protocol issue,

as you're both the same rank.

Yeah, I mean, who cares, right?

Warren?

No reaction at all?

To? Me and Maya.

Use protection.

Okay, yeah, shouldn't we
be there by now?

We're here.

Wow.

My God.

Here we go.

So it looks like this is Triage,

nearby should be Holding
for evacuees, and then...

Command Center.

Captain Sullivan? Yes.

Incident Commander Nalley.

Thanks for coming down.

We're hovering
at 10% containment.

50,000 acres have burned so far.

We're assigning strike teams
to neighborhoods

that need ground protection.

All right, I know you're all
used to working 24-hour shifts,

but you're also used to comfy
station bunks.

None of those out here.

You'll sleep anyplace you can.
If you can.

Inside rigs, in houses
if you're lucky.

There's no station
to go back to.

This is a marathon.

If you brought turnouts,
put 'em away.

It's too hot.
They'll slow you down.

Your bottles are useless
out here.

If you can breathe at all,
you're alive.

If you can't, you're dead.

Simple as that.

I like this guy.

I'm assigning you to structure
protection on Blue Willow Lane.

I have a unit evac'ing it
right now.

My data says we have a seven-
to ten-hour window

for you to prep the neighborhood
in case the fire jumps our line.

Yes?

And what are the chances
of that happening?

Of the fire jumping the line
into that neighborhood?

If I could predict that,

I wouldn't need you there
to protect it.

All right, we usually
manage one structure.

Today it's a whole neighborhood.

Let's clear out
surrounding brush,

bring all stray furniture
indoors, cover vents,

check gutters, close windows.

Let's go.

I told you. I'm not leaving!

Sir, we need you
to evacuate, okay?

It's not safe up here anymore.

I can't go
without Rumplebum Tankers.

My cat. He ran off.

He won't make it.

I-If... If I leave him and
the fire takes this place...

Miller, c'mon, we've gotta prep.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Look, sir, we'll find your cat,
I promise.

I just can't have you risk
your life, too. Yeah?

So if you could just board
this last shuttle,

we'll find your cat.

This is his blanket.

He'll want it.

We'll find your cat.

That's just mean,
promising that sweet old guy

you'll find his cat
when you know full well

that kitty's long gone by now.

We don't know that. Yeah, we do.

Krispie Kitty. Guaranteed.

C'mon. We gotta get to work.

Sir!

This area's under
mandatory evacuation.

You need to clear out.

All due respect, but we're
declining the order.

We've lived in this house
since 1975.

We've been through
three big fires already.

There was '83, '94, -

2006.

The point being, we know how to
take care of ourselves.

Our gas is off, our gutters are
clean, the vents are closed.

I cleared all the brush
from around the house.

These things come through here
every ten years or so,

and we're always ready.

So your property's ready.
That's great.

Now get yourselves to safety.

The other fires were smaller.

Our legs were younger.

She may have a point.

Honey, don't worry.

We got this.

Okay?

We'll be fine.

Here.

Make sure we clear all of this
into the garage.

This stuff acts like tinder.

You know, if you wanted to ask
about Maya,

or if you wanted us to...
To sign something, I mean...

What I want
is to clear this furniture.

Preferably in silence.

I get it. Boundaries.

Not a problem.

You wanna hear how we met?

We're getting close, I think.

Hey, will you quit sitting
on my bag?

Tanner. Relax.

Okay, sure, I'll relax,

as I'm driving toward a wildfire

with all my worldly possessions
in the back seat.

How long you gonna be gone?

A while,
if the program goes well.

What?

I didn't say anything.

Yeah, you did.

"Ryan Tanner,
I'm gonna miss you a lot,"

but I won't say it out loud,
so I'm just gonna grunt

"in lieu of speaking
any of my feelings."

Don't be ridiculous.

We already stopped
being neighbors.

I'm not gonna miss somebody
I already said goodbye to.

Well, you might be surprised.

It takes a minute, moving
forward without someone.

But when you are ready...

it's kind of exciting, actually.

Yeah, well...

Fine. I won't miss you, too.

I like those two.

I think they're pretty dumb
not to evacuate, though.

Well, you know, with all the
money that Jerry and Nina make

renting this place out,

they could cut back the brush
a little bit.

Really.

Not to mention doing something

with all of these
lawn ornaments.

Maria. Maria!

Maria, look. My God.

This place is gonna go up
like a match.

Hey!

Gonna need some help here!

Come here!

19, a gust of embers just
dropped on the northeast part

of this street.

We could use your help
stamping these spot fires out.

Go get under cover!

We'll wet down the yard.

No, honey, do not go
under the porch.

Hey, hey, no, no!

I need you to move
so we can do our job, okay?

No, no, he is right.

It's safer out here where we can
see where they dropped.

If the embers hit the brush
or the gutters,

this whole place is gonna go up
in seconds.

Hey, Herrera, how can we help
you out?

Look out!

This your first wildfire?

It's that obvious?
Yeah, pretty much.

Maria!

I thought the fire
was still miles away!

Where'd all this come from?

It doesn't matter!
We just have to get it out!

Hey, is it just me,

or is that a lot closer
than it was a few minutes ago?

I don't see anyone from 19.

We should find
the Incident Commander.

Montgomery, you check in here.

We'll check in the command tent.

Hang on. I can help.

I got it.

Dry heaving, GCS less than 6...
Possible head injury.

We should get ready for...

Seizure precautions. Great.

Okay.

Okay, we should try to stop
this seizure with,

some midazolam.

Yeah, good call.

Okay.

Okay, seizure's subsided.

Quick, we should, set up for...

Intubation. You got it.

I'm going in.

Damn it. I can't...

I can't get a clear look
at his...

Thanks.

Thank God.

Patient suffered a seizure
and aspirated,

but we administered midazolam.

Okay, thank you.

Good work.

I didn't realize you can't...

You're... deaf?

I'm sorry. I have no idea
what you're saying right now.

Right, yeah,
you wanna get back to work.

No, what I'm asking is what
direction the wind's shifted

and how fast it's going.

Damn it.

Okay. Then I gotta let
the Seattle team on Blue Willow

know exactly what
you just told me, and fast.

Hang on.

What did he just say?

All the spot fires are out.

Let's, - Let's finish sweeping.

Yep. And locate a cat.

Did I just hear that right?
Yeah, Miller's delusional.

Don't ask.

Herrera, can you hear me?

There's a lotta static,
but I copy, Captain.

Just got word from base.

Winds have been shifting.

Yeah, no kidding.
We just got pelted by embers.

So what's the status?
Do we need to pull out of here?

Negative... because we can't.

The winds that blew those embers

blocked off the only road in
and out of this neighborhood.

Spread the word, over.

So we're completely on our own.

U-Use our house.

It can be your base
of operations.

It's your safest bet.

Terry, this is way worse
than the other fires.

We should've gone.

We should've left when we could.

Here, hang on, hang on.
Be careful.

It's okay. It's okay. Calm down.

The air is dry.
It's full of ash.

The air quality's getting worse
by the minute.

You're okay, Maria.
Let's get you inside.

Sit down, sit down.

She has asthma, but she hasn't
had an attack in years.

It's okay. I've got her.

No need to worry.

Maria, breathe for me, please.

Do you use an inhaler?
Are you on any steroids?

How can I help? W-What can I do?

Terry, for God's sakes, you left
half a yard of brush out there.

Honey...
You've got to go clear it away.

Okay, I'll finish up
at the Larsons'.

It shouldn't take too long.

Half of their yard
is a pool anyway.

I'll be right back
as soon as I can.

And, please... just help her.

Please.

Copy that.

Andy wants us to regroup
back at the house.

Yeah, but we still haven't found
the cat.

And we won't. Cat's gone.

He's in some junkyard singing
songs about memories by now.

That's not funny.
I'm being serious.

Yeah, so am I.

This cat is a waste of time.

We have bigger things
to worry about...

Actual human lives
to prioritize.

The cat is in the woods.

Woods are burning.

Cat's toast. Let's move on.

Okay, that's dark.

And I've been letting it slide
all day because I get it.

I understand why you're going
so dark.

But that just gives me
all the more reason

to find that frickin' cat

and prove to you that on top
of all of that darkness,

a little frickin' good
can still happen, too.

What's he doing?

No, no, no, really, guys.
What is he doing?

- Terry!
- Terry, wait, no!

Aah!

Get me out of here!

Terry, just try to
stay calm, okay?

Captain, this is Hughes.

We got a civilian with his arm
caught inside the brush cutter.

Is there any way to get
a medi-vac out here?

I can ask,

but I'll guarantee visibility's
too low to get a bird up.

Keep the patient stable.

I'm on the other side
of the neighborhood,

but I'm on my way. So stupid.

There was still tension
in the rotor.

I never should've tried to cut
the wire.

I was just in a hurry.

Aah!
I can't see the wound from here,

but his hand is pretty jammed
in there.

Heart rate is racing.
His skin is cold and clammy.

He's going
into hypovolemic shock.

That should slow
the bleeding a little,

but he still needs IV fluids,
epi, painkillers.

And I need a toolkit. We've got
to take these rotors apart.

All right, I'm gonna run back to the
Engine to get a jump bag and tools.

Terry, you just hang on
'til I get back, okay?

Sullivan didn't freak out.

What? He didn't ask questions.

Didn't care.
That's a good thing, right?

Warren didn't seem to care,
either.

Aha! Inhaler.

Do you think it's because
they think we won't last?

Do you think we won't last?

We have a patient
who can't breathe

and a massive fire to deal with.

This can wait.

Terry? Terry!

He's lost consciousness.

I've got the bags.

He's going into shock.

BP's crashing.

This thing won't budge.

How long until he's free?

We need to get him
stabilized now.

Five, ten minutes. Maybe more.

Can he last that long?

There's no room to properly
tourniquet.

He keeps losing blood.

I-I don't think so.

Well, the fluids can get
his pressure back up.

Give the meds time to work.

We gotta get his hand out.

It's gonna take the time
that it takes.

We can't get him out any faster.

Unless...

Unless we amputate.

Can you finish
before he bleeds out?

No, we cannot do that.
We follow protocol.

Give him supportive therapy
until we clear the rotors,

treat the wound,
and get him to the hospital.

There is no hospital.

We are on our own,
and he's running out of time.

If we remove the hand
at the wrist,

we can staunch the bleeding
immediately.

If we wait,
he will bleed out and die.

You don't know that!

We can't even get inside
the rotors to know if we...

Okay, look, look.

Under normal circumstances,
we'd be calling Medic One

or a surgical team, and they
would help us make this call.

Warren, you're a surgeon.

What would surgeon Ben do
right now?

I have seen patients bleed out
in less time

than it's gonna take for us
to get him free.

It's a choice between his hand
and his life.

I choose life.

Can you even operate out here?

Do you have the right tools?

His bones are already broken.

His arm's held together
by tendons.

That's easier to cut through.

Listen, his crit has been
dangerously low,

so if we're gonna do this,
it needs to be now.

Okay.

Warren!
What the hell are you doing?

Keep your eye on his vitals.

We need strong circulation.

Watch his airway
in case we have to intubate.

BP is dropping.
We gave him a lot of fluids.

I'm worried
about too much dilution.

Let's hang a bag of dopamine,
try to get it back up.

Start with five mikes. Yeah.

Here, I'll make more space.

What else do you need?

Get pain meds, fresh gauze.

Put him in Trendelenburg.

Are you sure we can't get him
to a hospital?

He needs irrigation
and debridement.

He could be at risk
for an embolism.

We are an island here, Hughes.

We gotta treat him here.

His heart rate's coming back up.

What did you do to my husband?

There was an accident.

Um, he was injured, and we had
to... I had to take his hand.

But, - But it saved his life.

My God. My God.

You actually took it?

There was...
There was no choice, sir.

God.

We'll take it from here.

But, sir, I had to... I said...

Sir... we'll take it from here.

Go.

Ice.

Hey. Are you okay?

No. No, we just cut
a guy's hand off.

The world is burning up
all around us.

It rained fire.

Lucas is dead. I'm not okay.

I'm dark.

And I can't see the light.

Everywhere I look,
dark is all I can see.

Old Rumplebum Tankers!

It is Rumplebum Tankers!

Now, see?

Everything is not dark.

Good things happen.

A good thing just happened.

That cat does not prove
your point.

It's a cat.

All that proves is that
even animals know

it's too unsafe
to be outside right now,

and even the most
vigilant survivalists

forgot to clamp up
their damn pet door,

which is number one
on the list of things

to secure in a wildfire.

You know, I'm gonna go check
on our patient.

There's got to be a way
to get to 19.

But there isn't.

Fire's blocking all access.

But for now, at least, it hasn't
hit the neighborhood itself,

so 19 is protected
at the moment... just isolated.

There's no need to panic yet.

He says not to panic,
but I'm panicking...

pretty much totally panicking.

Yeah, staying busy's good.

Let's work.

All right, we're still
in our civvies.

We should wear our badges.
I'll go grab them.

Badges should be
in these other bags, right?

I don't know why this one
is in here.

Tanner.

Listen, it's not what it
looks like.

Pretty sure it is. Pretty sure
I know where you got it, too.

You still in touch
with your dad?

Look, I didn't ask for it.
It's a long story.

If it's marked and you spend it,
you know they will find you.

And don't let some bad decision
your dad made

drag you down with it.

I'm sure it's tempting
to keep that cash,

but you need to get rid of it
and get rid of it fast.

What do you expect me
to do with it?

We're in the middle
of a wildfire.

Use your imagination.

I-I know what I did was extreme,

but I-I thought it was the right
thing to do in the moment.

I thought... I mean, it was.

All right, but... his life
will never be the same.

Because of me.

He has a life because of you.

Hold onto that.

We should start our sweeps.

Check for any flare ups,
more embers, anything.

I-I thought I'd go first.

I'm going with you.

How are you feeling?

Fuzzy. I don't know.

I don't feel very much
right now, I guess.

So, that's something.

That's the pain meds.

I need to redress your wound.

If your pain level goes up,
you let me know, okay?

I try to be so strong,
for Maria.

I always have, our whole lives.

It comforts her.

What am I gonna do now?

With no hand.

Without a...

Don't let her
come in here yet, please.

I don't want her to see me
like this.

It feels impossible.

When you lose something
that's so much a part of you.

Impossible to see what the next
day could possibly look like.

Or the next.

I don't know how to do this.

I'm scared.

I'd be worried if you weren't.

I'm never scared.

I know things seem really dark
right now.

But good things will happen
again, too.

You don't know that.

No.

But I hope it.

How?

Why?

Because if I don't,
what's the alternative?

Do you hear that?

It sounds like it could be
raining or hailing,

but, I mean, it can't be.

That's not rain.

Guys, fire's here!

Keep clear of the windows
and doors!

The fire's here!

Winds have shifted east...
I say again, winds are shifting!

Does anyone copy?

You've lost radio contact?

Yeah, I've been trying to get
in touch with your people

to let them know that
the fire's spreading

toward Blue Willow Lane,

but the conditions
are causing interference.

So what do we do?
Well, they know the drill.

Haul up, stay inside,
wait for backup.

Which will be when?
Air tankers are refueling.

We're hoping maybe they'll do
a fly-by from above.

- Hoping?
- Refueling takes so long.

The roads are
completely blocked by fire.

There's no other way
to get to them.

Yes, there is.

He says he's worked this area
before. There's another way.

No, we're just gonna
get on the radio

and try to get them that way.

Hey! There is another way in.

Or out, maybe.
I'm not exactly sure,

but if he has an exit strategy
that will save lives,

we need to hear it.

Now, he's traced
what looks like a-a back road

through the county line?

No, I can't risk any of
my people going down

an unmarked trail
and getting caught in the fire.

It would be suicide. Then we don't go in.
If we can re-establish comms,

we tell them how to
get themselves out.

If we had communications.
But we don't.

The signal is too weak
for this mess.

Then we'll make it stronger.

I'm gonna need that.

Move, move!

Aah!

We won't make it back in time.

We'll find coverage
in that house.

Aah. The fire's coming.

Come on! Come on.

I'm good. I'm good.

See, I don't open up
to many people.

With you, it's easy.

I-I feel the same.

Could that be a bright spot,
too?

Have you? Let go, of the past?

Getting there.

Careful.

The air could still
burn our lungs.

Stay close to the surface.

Fire everywhere.

There.

There's an opening.

If we're quick, maybe we can
make it through.

Have to be.

Or our boots will melt.

Let's go.

Why is this gonna go through
better than the radios?

I've been reading up on
emergency communication systems

to prep for training
in San Diego.

I saw the Cellular On Wheels
tower outside.

We can use its signal.

That's only effective on devices

that are connected
to that signal.

I know, but maybe the Seattle
software is compatible with L.A.

It's worth a shot.

So you think their tower
is gonna activate

our emergency comm devices?

Isn't that a long shot?

It's not gonna hurt.

Okay, let's try it.

It's ringing.

Now let's just hope
they pick up.

Andy and Sullivan are
caught outside in this.

We need to go look for them.

Fire hit the south side
of the house.

We can't stay here much longer.

- We need to exit.
- And exit fast.

Exit to where?

- Hello?
- There you are, thank God.

Captain, is that you? Where on
Earth did you come from?

Stop talking. There's no time.

Listen carefully.

Keep hold of me.
Visibility's so low.

I'm here. Keep going.

We're coming! We're here!

Hey!

Where is everyone else?

Behind us
piled in the other Engine.

Where are we headed?

Not entirely sure.
Everybody hang on.

Captain Herrera,
we're heading west now.

Tell me where I'm going!

Can you see street signs?

You're looking for
an Avalon Street.

Negative. Visibility is at zero.

Engine's starting to
handle strangely.

I think the wheels
are starting to melt.

There's someone with us
who knows the area.

He says there's a hiking path
right off that street.

Supposedly big enough for a car.

Says it's next to a house
with big flowers.

Big flowers.

Turn around.
I know where that is.

What? The... The lawn
ornaments, the flowers...

I can get us to that house
if you can get us on that road.

How? We can't see a thing.

Okay, let's do this.

Bishop.

Bishop, talk to me.
Did you find it?

There! There!
We... We found the house.

Now, turn.

Turn now?
I don't... I don't know.

My God. My God.

Leap of faith. Turning now, sir!

My God. There's a road.

- Holy mother, you found it.
- I don't believe it.

The ambulance
is ready to take you.

I wish we could've
saved your house.

No.

I-I don't want to intrude,

but, we recovered this
on the scene.

I... wanted to make sure to
g-get it back to you.

Lookit.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Have you... Have you seen
an older gentleman?

His name is, George...
George... something.

He... He's very sweet.
He's wearing a plaid sweater.

70s? Balding? Yeah.

Yeah, poor guy
dropped about an hour ago.

Cardiac arrest, I think?

I'm not sure he even made it
to the hospital.

You mean he... he...

You found Rumplebum Tankers?

Yes!

What's it gonna be like

without you living around
the corner from me anymore?

It's hard to imagine.

You moved on first.

We haven't been
around the corner in a while.

I guess that's true.

Well...

be safe.

Yeah. You, too.

Gibson, you know sign language?

Yeah. What, you don't?

What'd he say? Is it about me?
Does he like me?

No, forget I asked that.
I'm not 12.

Um, he has noticed you.

I think you definitely made
a good impression.

And, this is just me talking,

but if I were you,
I'd... I'd kiss this dude.

Like, right now.

Jack...

Um, amazing news.

The fire is now 80% contained,
and Nikki just parked.

So, brunch? Brunch? Brunch?

- God, yes.
- Yeah.

Nice. We survived a firestorm,

I'm finally
getting to meet Nikki,

and now you're throwing in
waffles?

It's like the perfect day.

Yeah, it makes sense
you'd want to double date

since Bishop and I are kind of

the station's "it" couple
right now.

Hello?

Hey!

Hello.

Come. You got to meet
Jack's much better half.

Nicole?

Maya. Hi.

Whoa.
You two already know each other?

Yeah.

Um, we've met before.

She's my ex.

You're never gonna
see it coming.

Hello.

Thank you.

Ben Warren, Station 19.

Is, - is everything all right?

One minute, everything's calm...

We've been made aware
of something

we'd like you to verify.

Is it true that
you recently performed

an unsanctioned
field amputation?

The next,
you're staring down a wildfire.

Um, I-I did perform
an emergent procedure.

Um, it was a success.

I'm happy to report
the patient lived.

Did you have permission
from Medical Control

for this procedure?

Well, no.
I was in Los Angeles, and...

Did the patient give consent?

Well, if you let me
explain the situation...

A simple yes or no will do.

Um, no.

You didn't have
a sterile operating field

and no access to post-op care.

Is that correct?

Well, there were
extenuating circumstances...

Mr. Warren, we follow
very specific

patient care guidelines
here at Medic One.

We are strict
about those guidelines

because members of Medic One
are given hefty responsibility,

making judgment calls

with life-or-death stakes
all the time.

They face extenuating
circumstances almost every call,

so we need to make sure
that our members

aren't predisposed to being rash
with this responsibility.

We don't want
and we don't need any cowboys.

I-I agree, and I assure you

this decision was not
made lightly...

We decided to take a closer look
at your record,

including your surgical career,
and...

it looks like you have a history

with "extenuating
circumstances," so...

we'd like to talk about that.

Wildfires don't play nice.

They don't stop and pause
and wait until you're ready.

Dylan's hot.

Hot, hot, hot.

Okay, you need to sleep,
not hear about my love life.

Which remains nonexistent.

I feel bad even bringing up
some new guy

while we're standing here
doing... whatever this is.

No, don't put your life
and happiness

and amazingly handsome

potential long-distance
deaf lover on hold

because you're worried about me
and this bed I ca...

Don't delay your happy
'cause mine's been messed up.

Go after it. Text it.

In fact, you know what?

Hell, I will text it for you
right now.

"Hey, it's me, Travis.
From the wildfire..."

What do you even text to a man
who looks like a sculpture?

Give me... no. You!

Did you send it?

All right, you're out.

Yeah. No.

Too late.
You're going into time-out.

If conditions are right,
wildfires will just grow.

Hey, you know, the pool was our
second near-death experience.

Hey, um, I wanted to explain...

I-I wanted to say something,
too.

Okay, great. You go first.

No, you... y-you wanted...

Right, but what...
What do you want?

They burn hotter
than most other fires.

Wakey, wakey. Food's here.

I thought you were ramen.

Travis Montgomery. Yeah.

The man you attacked
two nights ago

has been in the hospital
ever since.

He's pressing charges.

You're under arrest for
the assault and battery

of Jeremy Heffington.

Their burn is more destructive.

You can't play with
this kind of fire...

Hang on.

I'm locking the door.

Or it'll consume you.

Everything okay?

Andy, I...

I think it's best if you... go.

Um...

Okay.

So when you find yourself
staring a wildfire down...

when you can't breathe,
can't walk,

when you're hurting so much
you're actually numb...

just remember,

wildfires may not play nice...

but neither do you.
