We're frontliners.

You have to make the calls nobody else
wants to make.

And you live with the fallout.

Send me some order!

I got this! Clear the second floor!

I don't even think Herman wants to be
chief.

Did you lay down your bugles for me?
It's time for you to get your chance.

When I said that I didn't want us to
move in together, that was me being

You can't see a teacher together.

We shouldn't be together.

Things change.

Enough of all.

Even a fifth month.

I'll put in an application with the
Denver Fire Department.

I hope you find what you need there.

Cal? What are you... Look, I know this
hurts, Cal.

I'm really sorry this adoption didn't
work out.

There's something you need to see.

Ellie, we're pregnant.

When I took the test last week, it said
positive.

So I don't understand.

The thing of pregnancy this early on is
fairly common.

A lot of people don't even know they're
pregnant at that stage.

The news is that there's nothing in the
exam or the labs, just any issues that

would stop you from having to help be
pregnant in the future.

It's great to hear.

Yes.

Thank you, Dr. Simmons.

Are they here?

Okay, great. I'll be right out.

Apologies, but I need to get to that
meeting.

Best of luck to you.

I am here if you need anything.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

Babe. Babe, for what? Hey.

I just... Guys, I... Like I should have
waited a few days to tell you

or cheat on another guest.

No. You don't need to apologize to me
for anything.

Bring us together.

Every step of the way.

This goes against our protocol.

He's been a problem for us repeatedly.

I know.

That's why it's called a favor.

Well, we've discussed it internally, and
we have concerns.

But ultimately, we want to keep these
department channels open. So we're going

to assign him to Firehouse 51.

Do I have a say in this?

I think you know the answer to that.

But 51 was the CFD's choice for a
reason.

So you should be flattered.

Morning. Morning.

What?

I can't help but notice that you are
still in here.

And?

How long has it been since I met you,
Lieutenant?

Do you not see me in the process of
moving out?

That has taken you an entire month?

Some of these items are very fragile.

You're not leaving, are you? You seem
much complaining.

Look, all I'm saying is, the sign says,
Officer's Quarters.

You're not an officer anymore.

And Mouse can't keep using the squad
lunch table as his desk.

You know what my favorite part of this
office is?

The door.

Hey, you know, the new truck guy starts
today.

You might want to try setting a good
example for once.

Hey, I am the model of professionalism.

Best guess.

Yeah, that's me. Good to meet you,
Chief.

Same. I heard a lot about you.

Let's head in.

Here's your new crew.

Briefing room's here.

Here you go.

Pick out a locker, make it your own.

Welcome to 51, Vasquez.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, hey there.

I'm, uh, I'm Sal Vasquez.

Oh, well, I am your lieutenant, still a
kid.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting
into it.

You don't mean the team?

Yeah.

Well, you should know that you are
replacing a hell of a good driver.

Not as good as me.

Ambulance 61, engine 51, truck 81, squad
3, structure fire. Let's move out of

here.

But he's a little heavy on the pedal.

I was thinking the same thing.

And which house you come in from,
Baskett?

Uh, 25.

Well, actually, compared to you guys.

Yeah, every house is.

What the hell?

the gas station.

Copy that. Anyone is taking the truck.

Drop the car. Stay down.

Grab the joint. Copy.

Go.

Hurry up. Let's go.

You got attacked by two dudes and a

pickup truck trying to rob her? I saw
the whole thing.

See if you can grab a pole.

Try.

I got an injured victim at the gas
station.

Okay, I gotta tag this black and get to
the other patient. I'm gonna call for

another ambulance and the police.

Copy.

What do we got?

Gina Hughes got a cache on the back of
her head and knows her name, what day it

is. Have you heard anywhere else, Gina?
I don't think so.

She was attacked by two guys in that
truck that was on fire.

There was only one person in that truck.

What?

Hey, you called the police, right? Yeah.

Same time I have to call in the fire.
All right, call him again. Yeah.

Hey!

Hey, don't move!

He's a fucking attacker!

Fast guys went a little rogue on the
drive.

He pulled a hardy weight before Kid gave
the order.

But the man can't handle a truck.

I like the sound of that.

Carver came in with that attitude, too.

I remember.

Kid whipped him into shape pretty fast.

Is there still no contact?

No, we're standing on our agreement to
give each other the space to move on.

I am not letting it be all sad, okay?

We got to tell each other how we really
felt.

A lot of people never get that chance.

True.

Since Dwayne moved to New York, we've
actually been texting.

A lot.

Really? I was starting to get excited,
too. Like, after everything, maybe this

really is the guy.

But the last 24 hours, he's been in my
head.

Maybe I got too much for him.

You don't know that.

Mano, I like your eye.

Hey.

What's the deal with Don Toretto over
there? You know his story?

Nope. That's quite the move he pulled
off on truck.

Sir Old Spot, you're not curious?

I get to know Carver.

He leaves.

I get to know Damon. He's transferred. I
figure I ignore this guy, he'll stick

around. So that's my plan.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I would love
to finish this report in peace.

You do know that you can do that in your
office, right?

I guess that means you'd have to
confront your squatter.

Herman's just taking his time. I'm sure
he has an end date in mind.

When? 2050?

Look, I get it. The guy, he gave up his
bugles for you.

But you're a lieutenant now.

It's time to lay down the law.

Hey, check this out. They're showing the
footage of the gas station attack.

Another brazen daylight attack in
Chicago.

But this one did not go as planned.

That's the victim. Security camera
footage captured the moment where this

bravely fought off her attackers.

Oh, yeah. Look at that.

Now, one of the attackers is dead, and
the other is in custody.

No wonder what the hell took the cops so
long to show up. And now, a statement

from the mayor's office.

Ah, great.

Now we gotta hear the new mayor's
talking head tell us how everything is

-dory. Mayor Benning intends to tackle
this high crime rate we've inherited.

We're facing it head -on, and we have
plans to turn this city around.

Okay. Just like they always say, and
then things get worse.

Vasquez, I'll see you in a minute.

Dorothy?

I know that tone.

She is not happy.

So, I have to give my report to Pascal
in a minute, but I wanted to talk to you

first.

Yeah, sounds good.

You did not wait for my orders in route
to that last call.

You made a reckless U -turn, and you
started after that pickup without a word

me. But I knew we had to go after it.

We're not going to let a fireball just
roll down Western Avenue, right?

I think what you mean to say is you are
sorry, and that will never happen again.

Okay.

Yeah, sure.

What happened again?

You want to see his resume?

I want to know why you brought him here.

Well, I heard Vasquez is a great
firefighter. The word I got was gutsy.

an attitude problem.

I have dealt with his kind before.

You straighten them out.

He's six hours into his first shift. So
that means what we saw out there was him

on his best behavior.

So what was it that he did, exactly?

He acted without waiting for orders from
his lieutenant.

And I get the distinct impression that's
not the first time you've done that. So

you want to cut him loose?

I have to know that my men will fall in
line or I put our entire company at

risk.

You've lost a lot of good firefighters
lately.

I suggest you take a beat before you
risk losing another.

How'd it go?

He seems to think that I'm jumping the
gun.

You agree with him?

I wasn't in there to hear it all.

Whatever you decide, I got your back.

Well, that's not an opinion.

Look, you've been, like, walking on HL
around me lately, and it's not helping

anything. So please, say what you think.

I think you've had a lot going on
lately, and... You mean I'm bringing my

personal life into work? I didn't say
that, though.

Truth is, I don't care about this Bat
-Gal guy.

I care about you.

I know.

But when I'm at work, I am at work. Bat
-Gal is trouble, and something is off

with Bat -Gal's attitude.

You got a sec?

Uh, yeah.

What can I do for you, Lieutenant?

I was just curious if you had an ETA on
the... on the moving out.

Oh. I mean, I know you've been working
on it, but it has been a while. No,

you're right. You know, I probably, you
know, could pick up the pace.

Great.

It's just, you know, it's been a little
nuts around here.

I...

I didn't realize when I got demoted, you
know, how much retraining I'd have to

do for truck.

Right. It's just taking time.

And then, you know, the cut in pay.

I've had to figure out ways to bring in
extra income.

And currently I'm working my way through
this.

More money now.

It's absolutely useless so far, but...

You know, Cindy, she's looking to pick
up some work in Annabelle.

She may end up in trade school instead
of college, but that would help. Hey,

know what? Now that I think about it,
there's been so much change around here

lately. I don't think we should rock the
boat.

So, like, you don't want me to move out
of here? I'm just saying, you can take

your time.

There's no rush.

Okay.

If that's what you want.

That's what I want.

So is this an order from Kit, or do you
have a thing for bathrooms?

Look at the book.

There's nothing like good old manual
labor, right?

Yeah, if you think so.

Hey, for what it's worth, I was the new
guy last year, and I know it has its

challenges. So if you ever want to
talk... I appreciate that.

I don't worry too much about firehouse
dynamics.

It is what it is.

Okay?

But you should know, you won't find a
better lieutenant anywhere.

Okay, good to hear.

Too loud and I'm a beetle in the brain.

You do not want to underestimate her.

Trust me.

And, uh, don't forget the shower towels.

Hey, Mouch. Hey.

Am I interrupting?

It's my lot in life now.

I'm sorry to hear that.

So, I was supposed to have time with
Dwayne this morning.

He wanted to show me his new apartment
in New York.

But he didn't call.

And I can't get a hold of him.

I know he's tight with Trudy, so maybe
you could just check with her, see if

you've talked to him recently.

Okay.

I can do that.

Amazing. Thank you. You're welcome.

Just make sure that she knows I am not,
like, freaking out or anything.

You know, just curious.

Maybe just take yes for an answer, would
you?

Of course.

Thank you.

Anything I can do to help?

Peace and quiet. That's all I need.

Okay.

Thanks again, Max. Mm -hmm.

Just get a gut feeling, you know?

And I trust my gut.

You should.

You should trust your gut.

What are you looking for in here? All
right, we used to have a small outdoor

shovel. I am going to have Vasquez do a
little gardening out front.

How did this get in here?

We got you guys some baby stuff when you
thought you were coming back from med

with a baby. There's more in the back.

That's really sweet.

It's around for whenever. Or if ever.

Where are you guys at with all that?

Uh, it's been a little bumpy.

We told Terry to hold off on the whole
adoption process for now.

Yeah, I totally get it. You guys were on
a serious emotional rollercoaster.

I'm going to go back to being
frustrated.

It's more fun.

Okay.

Where the hell is the shovel?

Maybe Cap took it back to his mom's
plane?

and West 21st Street, right?

Yeah, that's what I got. Squad 3 to
Maine. No sign of fire at Christiana and

21st Street.

Do you have any more information on
this?

Squad 3, stand by.

Dollars to donuts.

Fire's on East 21st.

Maine to Squad 3.

Confirming a single report of fire at
Christiana and West 21st Street. That's

all we got.

No smoke?

Single reports? Probably just a bunch of
kids messing around.

I better set that out just to be sure.

All right, squad. Let's check this
outside. Copy that. All right. Herman

took the Bravo side of this building.
Work your way east on 21st. Vasquez,

you're with me. Copy that.

Come up this way.

We got a gunshot victim over here. Copy.

That's it.

Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down!
Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down!

Get down!

Get down! Get down!

Get

down!

Yeah, we're good.

Come on.

Stay with me.

You jump back in the stretcher over
here. Coming to you.

Hey, Ritter, give her a hand.

On it, Lieutenant.

Yeah, I know. I got to put pressure on
it. What's your name?

Caleb. Hang in there for me, Caleb. We
got you. Anybody catch a look at the

bag? Yeah, they're in a black 4Runner,
no tags, male Hispanic driver.

Squad 3 to Main, we got an offender in a
black Toyota 4Runner heading northbound

on Christiana.

GSW victim being treated on scene right
now.

Main to Squad 3, waiting for an
available CPD unit to respond.

We'll update with an ETA.

I am. Thanks for nothing. Homeostatic
gauze and curl it. During zero?

Penetrating. Cut the shirt, please.

Come back on.

I know. I know it hurts. We're going to
get you the pain meds. We're just going

to try to stop the bleeding first.

Her rate's 104.

BP's 92 palp. All right.

Let's get him in the rig. In the 16
gauge, run it wide open. We'll give him

fentanyl on group. Copy.

On three. One, two, three.

Like the OK Corral out here today.

Still no PD.

Yeah.

Looked like a gang thing.

Victim must have been hiding out until
he heard the sirens.

He probably thought the SUV would just
take off once he saw us rolling up.

Turns out they were happy to take all of
us down with them. Yeah, but you, you

were a beat ahead of us.

You seemed to know the bullets were
coming.

Uh, yeah, yeah. I had a decent time at
the police academy. You know, before I

got in the firefighter track, I, uh, I
guess I honed some instincts.

I can't

work with all this noise.

Vasquez probably saved all of our lives
out there.

You think that might warm the kid up a
little?

You think it's all about his attitude?

He's got confidence to spare.

I hope that he gets that he's on the
road.

Yeah, but it's not like a charming
confidence, don't you think?

No.

I mean, don't. We got another GSW here.

I'm going to call Abby, who works over
at 911, see if she knows where there

been so many delayed responses the last
few shifts.

Vasquez was at the police academy, and
that was before. Before he switched

firehouses a bunch.

This guy is all over the place.

I wonder if he's the one who decided to
do all the jumping or if he got booted.

I'm going to call around a bit, see if I
can get some background and just fill

out the picture.

You two, follow me.

We can go through your reports on the
shooting call.

Once the shooting stopped, I tried to
grab a plate, but I think we didn't have

one. What did PD say when they got
there?

Nothing. They never showed. What do you
mean they never showed?

Maybe they showed up after we left. So,
Pete, it was late to the first call and

a no -show on the second. That's right.

Yeah, come in.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but you're going
to want to hear this.

Go ahead.

I have a friend over at 911.

After the shooting, I gave her a call to
see if she could explain what is going

on over there.

We were just trying to make sense of
that ourselves.

She said that over the last couple
months... A bunch of dispatchers have

been let go, and apparently it is the
same at PD.

Did she say why?

No one has said anything. But now
they're drowning in calls, and

don't have the resources to respond to
them. That's why PD didn't show today?

They literally don't have the manpower.

If they're not responding to a shots
fired call, what else are they missing?

Do you have any idea how many calls they
aren't getting?

Apparently City Hall is sitting on a
report that says of all calls coming

911, 49 % of them are going unanswered.

Half of all calls?

That can't be right. That's what she
told me. And the city's doing nothing

it? Why weren't we notified?

I don't know.

What the hell's going on here?

Look, it isn't my better half.

Oh, my God.

That's what's wrong.

Trudy got a call from NYPD.

Dwayne?

He's in the hospital for a gunshot
wound.

How bad?

They just took him into surgery. That's
all we know right now.

I'm so sorry, brother.

I told Ritter to just go.

So McKenna from First Shift will be here
any minute.

Dwayne's okay.

Trudy sounded pretty shaken up.

Just called the new mayor's office.

Don't expect to hear back, but in the
meantime we gotta start kicking down

with anyone we know in city government.

Who do we know?

We could call the commissioner, D .C.
Bowden.

I checked with headquarters and Bowden.
They didn't know anything about it.

I think it's probably over the
department's pay grade if they knew

know too.

We have helped out a lot of Alderman
over the years.

Yeah, I made a connection with Alderman
Molina last year. I can reach out to

him. That's right. Good. Who else?

Herman's pissed off the city treasurer.
Does that help? Probably remember

Herman's name.

All right. Dale Andrews. Give him a
call.

I feel like there's someone.

It's the mayor's office.

That was fast.

Pascal here?

Yes, I did.

Yes, I can. Thank you. I appreciate it,
Miss Davis.

Yes.

Mayor Benning's chief of staff. She
wants to meet with me in her office

thing tomorrow. Maybe you'll get some
answers.

Maybe. I've got the feeling there's more
to it than that.

Hey, Novak.

Hey, I thought...

Okay. Yeah, yeah. I was, um... I was
just thinking about Ritter's friend in

York, Dwayne.

Yeah. I hope he's okay. He's a great
guy.

I'm really sorry to hear about that.

Do you need something?

I do. Yeah, actually, I, um... Have a
favor to ask of you?

What kind?

Oh, how did that happen?

Well, when the bullets started flying
and I dropped to the ground, I landed on

my halogen.

Ouch. Yeah.

You stitched it up yourself.

Yeah, I don't want to make a thing of
it, you know, because I'm kind of a kid

who already thinks I'm a big pain in the
ass. But, yeah, I found a suture kit

and I gave it a go with the needle and
stuff, but it turns out sewing's harder

than I thought.

Yeah, you're a lunatic.

Not the first time I've heard that.

Okay, well, get in the ambulance. I'll
clean it out and stitch it up for you.

Thank you.

I did a pretty good job.

Hey,

you still burning the midnight oil?

Not by choice.

Pascal lit into me because I still
haven't turned in my incident report.

No rest for the weary.

Been there.

Well, unlike you.

This wasn't my fault. I can't find a
moment's peace in this godforsaken

Hey, listen, Marge.

At the office, um, I fought hard for it,
really hard.

And I'll be honest, it's tough to let it
go.

But you earned it, too.

And in some ways, it's just as much
yours as it is mine.

It actually, literally just is.

Okay, so, with all that in mind, I
thought, what if, what if we split it?

You know, some days it'd be mine, some
days yours. I mean, we can even make up

calendar, you know, to make it official.

So, like a timeshare.

Exactly, yeah. I mean, I can...

Take down some of Kenny's drawings if
you want and clear out some wall space.

I wouldn't ask you to do that.

Oh, please do.

Because his drawings are awful.

So, come on.

Say yes.

Before I regret it.

I'll start clearing out some space.

if the guilt finally got to him.

I thought you turned in that report
hours ago.

Oh, did I?

Thank you.

Hi. What are you doing?

Of course, I did.

Miss Davis, Chief Pascal is here.

Chief. Morning.

Thanks for coming in.

Of course.

Sorry about the disaster zone.

It's been a messy transition.

I appreciate you making the time.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

I was just reading up on you.

Commendations, award of valor.

You've got quite the reputation.

I'm just doing my job.

Lucky me. My house is in your district.

Well, let's hope if the worst happens,
your call is one that actually gets

answered.

I guess bad news travels fast.

So it's true.

What have you heard?

The city's sitting on a report.

One that says that half of 911 calls are
going unanswered.

That is correct.

Do you realize what a serious problem
this is?

Of course I do.

But we inherited this mess. We didn't
create it.

Well, I don't care whose fault it is. I
want to know something's being done

about it.

There is.

But you're not going to like it.

Got a bad feeling about this.

51.

Thank you for gathering, everyone.

I just got back from the mayor's office,
and this is what I learned. The city's

in worse shape than it's let on.

Budget -wise, they're completely
underwater. They've already reduced

911 and PD. Let me guess.

We're next.

Now, the good news is that 51's not
shutting down, but to conserve

this city's implementing strategic
brownouts and rig reductions, effective

immediately. We're losing rig? Which
ones? Well, it'll be on a rotating base.

It's sometimes engine, sometimes truck,
sometimes squad.

Did this include the medics?

EMS doesn't lose any rigs, but you'll be
covering more ground, filling in for

houses that go offline.

How much more?

Still TBD, but I'm not going to
sugarcoat it for you.

Your runs will be longer and your shifts
will be busier.

Bottom line is this is our new reality,
at least for the foreseeable future.

I know, I know, and I'll get answers.
But for now, just know you'll be working

harder, sleeping less, and carrying
more.

But this is when the best show what
they're made of.

And if I learn one thing in this last
year, you are the best.

Let's show the city how it's done.

Yes, Chief. Copy that, Chief. Thank you.
Thank you, Chief.

Chief.

I wanted to let you know I called around
about Vasquez.

I got some negative feedback.

Meaning? He has a rep.

for insubordination with his officers.

Always pushing back, not following the
rules. It's why he's been bumped around

so often.

Yeah, I heard about that.

Well, if these budget cuts mean we'll be
paring back staff on rigs, it seems

like it's best to let him go.

Best case is staying.

May I ask why?

Vasquez needs a leader like you, one who
has the confidence to take him on, show

him who's boss, elevate his game.

Okay, but why bring someone like this
into the firehouse at all?

How good a firefighter can he be, Chief?

The only answer I can give you right now
is that this job is Vasquez's last hope

to stay in the CFD.

And I need that to happen.

Why would Pascal need Pascal to stay?

I have no idea.

So you were right. Something is off
about the whole thing.

Hi, Terry.

Hi, guys.

Hi. Apologies for showing up, but I have
an issue that's extremely time

sensitive. Terry, I thought we said that
we were putting a hold on adopting a

baby. You did.

Yeah, but this isn't about a baby.

Before Natalie and her sister
reconnected, you asked me about the

officially taking her in as a foster.

But then she moved in with Julia, and
she's really happy there. Which is

terrific.

Truth is, there aren't a lot of people
willing to take in teenagers.

There are no months -long waiting lists
like there are with the youngest

children.

But it did seem like it was something
you guys were open to.

But right now...

There is a great kid who's about to be
removed from his group home, and he has

nowhere to go.

So I have to ask, would you two be
willing to meet him?

Okay, I'm going to call Ritter, fill him
in, and get the update on Dwayne. Last

time you said that Dwayne was critical,
but no other detail.

Oh, have a good one, Beth. And don't try
and take out your appendix while you're

off shift, okay?

Don't make any problems.
