How you feeling, Blue?

Blue?

What? The captain's talking to you.

I asked how you're feeling.

Like, that's the biggest fork in the road of my life.

You are going to do great, son.

Don't worry, Blue.

You already aced the academy running exam. You'll be fine.

Yeah, still test with a cherry on top. Appreciate it. Yeah, well, you better

crush it because the chief and his whole entourage are here. And if you don't

pass, they'll have Dad's hide for backing you. Right.

You don't need any more pressure.

Hey, you got this.

Just focus on your breathing. Remember your training. You're going to do just

fine. Whatever you say, Dad.

Well, you know what Dolly wants, totally.

It's okay to have butterflies so long as they're flying. Flying in formation.

Hey, don't be no smartass in front of your father.

He needs to see I raised you better than that. Don't worry.

I'm about to show him exactly who you raised me to be.

All right, folks. Take your seats.

We're about to get started.

Hey, Mom.

Looking fancy. Oh, really?

Thank you. Just got back from a board meeting.

Oh,

Dixie. What?

Didn't expect to see you here. Oh, I wouldn't have missed it.

I mean, we've been supporting Blue privately for so long. It's so nice to

allowed to support him publicly.

He's a good kid. Thank you. He really takes after his father.

Well, don't you worry.

There's plenty of me in there, too. That's what scares me.

What was that all about?

Nothing worth repeating.

Honestly,

it seems a little tense.

Well, I mean, some nerves are to be expected.

No, it's just that it doesn't feel like nerves.

It feels like something else.

This test is pass, fail.

Complete all stations in under 10 minutes and 20 seconds. You pass.

You don't.

You fail.

Let's do it.

You're marked.

Set.

You ever want to make a career change, you let us know.

You?

What are the odds?

Ryan, this is your brother.

I've

always

been a loser.

I wish I met you sooner.

Maybe some of that hard magic wouldn't have rubbed off on me when it still

have made a difference.

I'm proud of you.

Come on, Blue, focus.

Good job,

Blue. Just like that. All right, get ready, get ready.

You knew about me all along.

You knew about me all along.

My whole life he knew.

Bring it on, Blue.

Come on, Blue. Come on.

You got it.

You got to cross the finish line, son.

What the hell is he doing?

He's giving us a middle finger.

Hello? Hey!

What's going on?

Doesn't feel good getting duped, does it?

What has gotten into you, boy?

You always told me you didn't know who my dad was.

But you knew the whole time.

And so did you.

How'd you find out?

The album in your house.

It's all my childhood photos.

That only you could have sent them, Mama.

Are you going to stand there and deny it?

No.

No, I don't deny it.

It was my choice, and I own it.

I'm the one who kept him from contacting you.

Why?

Because I wanted to protect you.

I didn't want you feeling the same shame that I felt every day.

Of knowing you were second choice.

And I refuse to let you be defined by that.

Well, you failed.

Look, don't let your anger at us prevent you from passing this test.

And given how well you're doing, I'm sure they'll let you retake it as long

we get back in there. I've made my choice.

No, honey.

You have worked so hard for this.

If you walk away now, it could cost you everything.

You're right.

I'm out.

I don't know, guys.

It seems like it's going bad.

Chief's jaw is mighty clenched.

Cap's a people person.

He can smooth anything over. He's got this.

Your cadet embarrasses all down the apartment.

We're not.

Firefighters, chief.

Y 'all may have noticed some fireworks today.

Especially the blue -colored one.

But I cannot have to distract you from your job.

Or the carrots you've been chopping for the past six minutes.

You noticed that, didn't you?

What did the chief say?

Just that hiring a loose cannon like Blue is an abuse of my authority.

They're not going to suspend you, are they?

If I had to bet.

What? For how long?

Remains to be seen.

Chief just informed me that I have been summoned to a board of rights meeting.

Whoa, whoa, board of rights meeting?

They only call one of those if they're going to suspend you for more than 30

days or worse. Correct.

No, okay.

Has Blue called you back since he blew everything up?

I just get voicemail.

Unbelievable.

Hey, y 'all need to get your game faces back on. Those tones could go off at any

second.

This city needs us at our best, even when things are at its worst.

911, what's your emergency?

My ex -husband just kidnapped my children.

Okay, can I please have yours and your ex's names?

I'm Gemma. My ex is Victor. Victor Plant.

Hi, Gemma. I'm Cammie. I'm going to help.

I'm pulling up his information now. How old are your kids?

Layla's seven and Adrian's five.

Okay, I'm texting you a link. I'd like you to upload a photo of them.

You sure this is a kidnapping?

Yes. Victor sent me a text. He said the kids are going to heaven. I'll see you

in hell.

I'm sending out an Amber Alert now. Oh, then we have an abducted 7 -year -old

female and a 5 -year -old male. I need you to put out a bolo and a red Durango.

Right on it.

Okay, Gemma, law enforcement's being dispatched. Is Victor's home still at

Magnolia Avenue?

It was until the divorce. He lost his job. I thought he'd move back in with

mom. He's always been a mama's boy, but I think he's been living in his car.

Have you tried calling him? Yeah, but he won't pick up. He hates me for getting

full custody.

Do you have any idea where they might be headed? No, we have to find them.

Did you say he's a mama's boy?

Yeah, why?

Stanley, a favor, please?

Just say the word, Kevin.

Daddy, where are we going? I miss Mommy. I told you not to talk about Mommy.

Hey, Mom.

What's going on? Hey, Vic.

What you up to, son?

Just out for a drive.

Oh, yeah? Where to?

Uh... Highway 70 just needed to get out of town. Let's just hope she can keep

them on long enough for us to find them. Hey, you don't have the kids with you,

do you?

Uh, yeah.

How'd you know? Did Gemma call you?

No, no, no, she didn't.

Well, then how'd you know to call me?

We just don't want anybody to get hurt.

We? Who the hell is we?

Mr. Plant, this is Stanley Bush with Nashville Emergency Services.

We know you have your children.

Mom, you called the cops?

They called me.

Now, you listen to me, Stanley. If I see a cop, she'll help me out.

I will crash this car. Do you understand me? I'll kill us.

Were you able to ping his location?

He hung up before I could, but we did get Highway 70.

which narrows it down to 160 miles.

Gemma, is there any place on Highway 70 that means anything to Victor? Just

anywhere y 'all used to go?

The quarry. We used to camp there every Labor Day. The kids loved to swim in the

gulch. Bellevue quarry's at the bottom of a cliff. I think he's going to drive

off it. He said he would crash the car if he saw a cop. How else are we

to stop him? I mean, there's nowhere for them to hide out there. He's totally

exposed.

We send someone who's not a cop.

113, rest here in position.

I think we beat them here.

Great job, 113.

Don't high -five us yet. We need you to talk us through the next part.

Okay, put the deployment box on the ground and make sure the arrow is

toward the road.

Then open it and arm it.

You're set. Okay, take the remote control and get out of sight. They're

be there any second.

Daddy, can we please slow down?

I told you not to talk about Mommy!

be hurt for a second and everything will be all better.

Hey, guy. Get out of the car and get on the ground.

Put your hands behind your back.

Here, buddy.

Here, buddy. There you go.

Dispatch 113. We have both kids.

Tell their mom that they're safe.

I don't have to. Y 'all just did.

Thank you, Candy.

Believe me, it was a team effort.

Oh, Don. Honey, you look like you were rode hard and put away wet.

Thank you, sweetie.

Well, you didn't sleep at all, did you? I just heard from the chief.

Board of Rights meeting is set for Tuesday.

Oh, my. Well, they're moving fast.

The good news is I'm allowed to stay on the job until then. None of the bad

news? Well, you hear words like liability and reckless being thrown

Anything's on the table.

Do you want me to reach out to my father? He could call the mayor.

No, do not call your father.

Dawn!

you oh lord hey ma 'am ma 'am ma 'am where is he well okay we can't just come

here like that yeah well you just try and stop me sweetheart oh donnie what's

going on dixie just walked in let me call you back oh hell no you keep this

any of my calls mine either and you

this in person, what, your phone doesn't work?

Can you mute her?

You know what? This doesn't concern you, Blythe.

Our son is missing.

I mean, the last time he pulled something like this was when his friend

after a car accident. He went off the deep end. Where did he go then?

To every honky -tonk in town that would take his fake ID.

I mean, he drank himself into a diabetic shock.

We have to find him. You should call Cammie. Who is that?

My sister -in -law. She's a dispatcher. She can put out an APB on his car.

God, I just hope we ain't too late.

You're not.

How do you know?

He put me on red for the last 24 hours.

I just texted him saying, hey, your mom's here. She worried you might be

He finally replied.

Oh, my God.

What'd he say?

Tell her I'm not.

That's something, I suppose.

You think he'd be up for a meeting?

Maybe.

Just not with either of you.

This looks like the spot.

Nice dark pools.

Undergrowth to feed on.

Nobody around.

Mile.

I don't know about this, Jesse.

This is literally the most humane way to fish known to man.

Yeah, but isn't it dangerous?

How many times I gotta tell you, dynamite fishing is not dangerous, Bo.

Not if you know what you're doing.

Yeah, I watched every YouTube on it. Yeah, but isn't it illegal?

You know what else is illegal in the state of Tennessee?

Huh? Selling hollow logs.

Sitting on public sidewalks.

Really? Yes, really.

Bunch of nanny laws.

You like fried bluegill?

My favorite.

We'll get enough in one swoop to freeze for the whole season.

All right. Let's do it.

Get ready to scoop the floaters.

Fire in the hole!

Isn't it supposed to sink?

Might not have waited enough.

The current's pulling it in. It's coming right at us. No, no.

No, no, Jeff!

You

all

right? No, I'm not all right!

You blew up my...

emergency a girl just popped up out of the river what do you mean popped up

kind of dynamite she must have been caught in the undergrowth but now the

current's taking her

there

she is current's looking strong taylor where are those rescue boats on route

they're coming from the percy priest dam they'll never make it in time there's

rapids around that bed all right hit the gas let's get up ahead of her taylor

grab me some rope Okay, Cap. What are you thinking?

He's thinking about going cowboy.

Radio medical. Have them set up here.

Yes, sir. Copy that.

I don't think she's breathing.

All right, Ry, check her pulse.

Continuing compression.

Rock, over here.

Not breathing.

No pulse.

Hey, can you get her on the life pack yet? Got it.

Come on, Kendra.

Come on, honey.

I have respiration.

We've got rock. Pulse is ready.

but we've got a heartbeat.

Let's get her on the stretcher. All right. Lifting in three, two, one, go.

Hey, honey, can you hear me?

She's still not responsive.

That's odd.

What's odd? I don't hear any fluid in her lungs. Yeah, but she was under the

water. Yeah, unless she stopped breathing before she hit the water.

This bed says that she only pops up after those two idiots dynamited the

Yeah, but I'm not seeing any signs of blast trauma or internal bleeding

None of this makes sense.

Village West, 113 inbound with an unidentified female.

Jane Doe has no ID but appears to be age 14 to 18.

Unresponsive. Call still unclear.

Copy, 113. We're standing by. Okay, how's she doing? Heart rate keeps going

but her O2's dropping.

Like you said, it doesn't make any sense.

Pupils are pinpointing. How did I miss her?

It's opioid.

I need Narcan.

What was the mistake? What was the mistake?

What was the mistake?

Hey, hey, stay with me.

She's not breathing. Her respiration stopped.

We need to intubate. You ready to go?

Hey, doc's about to intubate, so no potholes, and she's going to break some

teeth. Copy that.

She's cyanotic, doc.

Hey, pass me the adult tube.

There we go.

Hey.

Come on, baby. Come on.

O2's coming back up. She's back.

For now.

Well, you've been telling that I'm no good.

That I just up and left.

You slandered my name. You tried to make it look good on yourself.

Hey, man.

Hey. You look like hell.

Where'd you sleep last night?

My car.

I can't go home to mama.

You slept in your car? It's not the first time in my life. We didn't all

with chandeliers in our barns. Okay, so it's going to be like that, huh?

You want me to apologize, Blue? Is that it?

Because it's not my fault that I was born first.

Either way, I think you got the better end of the deal. Well, at least I

appreciate the gifts I've been given and the people who gave them to me. I mean,

you might have ruined Dad's career.

He could get fired for this.

But you know what? He would still welcome you back with open arms. Welcome

back?

He ruined my life. Welcome, Snow White. What can I get you all this morning?

Hi.

I'll do bacon and eggs.

Eggs. Over medium. Not sunny side. Not scrambled. Just medium.

Oh, what? Is that too high maintenance for you?

No, it's my exact order.

For real?

For real.

I'll take the same thing, please. Put that right in for y 'all. Thank you.

So I think we may have found the one thing we have in common.

No, I can think of at least two others. Such as?

We both spent our entire lives being lied to.

About each other.

What's the other thing?

Look, man, I don't know your belief system, but I believe that you and I,

both here on this earth to help people.

And I know I was a doubter when Dad first hired you. A hater, more like.

man, this job's not for everybody.

And you, you proved me wrong. I'm a believer now.

It's like you said that first day at the station.

Being a firefighter, that's your calling.

Pretty sure I flushed that calling on the toilet.

No, man, if I know one thing...

is that nothing is ever lost until you give up on it.

And hearts, we always find a way.

Except I'm not a heart.

I'm a Bennings.

And the only thing we find our way to is the bottom of a bottle. Okay, man,

you've got to stop doing this. Stop what? You've got to stop the poor me,

intergenerational trauma BS that you're using to justify acting like a loser.

So you do think I'm a loser?

I think you're trending that way.

I'm out. No, look, blue...

Okay, you've always had the harder road. You always had.

That doesn't change the fact that you've got a choice here to make today, right

here, right now, about who you're going to be.

No matter what you decide, it's not going to be on Dad, and it's not going

on your mom.

It's on you.

Thanks for the lecture, big brother. Where are you going to go, man? What are

you going to do?

I'll figure something out.

You can run, Blue.

You can't hide from who you are.

A loser, right?

Hello.

Can I help you? I'm looking for Roxy.

I'm Roxy.

You're her.

The girl from the river.

I'm so glad you're okay.

How did you end up in that river anyway?

Who did that to you?

Fox, you did?

Yeah.

No. Actually, no.

Here you are.

You know I've never had a nightmare about a patient before.

This one hit close to home. It's haunting me, not knowing anything about

Well, there is one way you can find out.

This is Dr. Hart. Hey, Sam. It's Roxanne Taylor.

Yeah. What can I do for y 'all?

We just wanted to check in about the Jane Doe from the river.

How is she?

She's stable.

We flushed all the opioids out of her system.

They probably would have kept the water out of her lungs at the bottom of the

river. That's good.

Did her family ever show up?

No, we've been pushing her picture on our socials, but nobody's come forward

identify her.

So sad that nobody came to pick that baby up.

It happens far too often, actually.

Breaks my heart.

Has she woken up?

No, she is still in a coma.

She's breathing on her own, but...

She doesn't regain consciousness.

What's the plan for her now?

If nobody claims her, my director's pressing me to transfer her to a third

-party caregiver tonight.

You mean dump her into some county facility?

She'll rot. I have pushed back as hard as I can. I've held him off till

tomorrow, but the financial services is all over us to clear the bed.

What about UTS?

UTS?

Ultrasonic Dynamic Stimulation.

It's been proven to revive patients in Komato State. I hear you, but there's no

way the hospital can authorize that without insurance.

What if it was out of pocket?

Whose pocket?

Mine.

I mean, that could cost over $25 ,000.

Girl, you can just drop $25 ,000?

I've been saving leftover for my days as a surgeon.

Seriously? When she looked up at me in that ambulance, her eyes were filled

regret. I know what it's like to feel that way.

What do you mean you know what it's like?

Don't worry about it.

Point is, she don't want to die.

Tell the bean counters I'm good for it, Dr. Hart.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.

I will see you in the morning, then.

Roxy Taylor, this is one of our financial officers.

He's going to go over some paperwork before the procedure.

So who's the undersigner today?

I am. Okay.

This... states that you assume full financial liability on the UTS being

Jane Doe now and into perpetuity. We need your initials here, here, here, and

signature there.

That's 25 grand, right? Unless there are complications, then there's no telling.

I'll be 10, too.

Let's do this.

How does this work?

They stimulate the thalamus with sonic bursts, part of the brain that regulates

arousal. Hmm.

I think it's time to start on an engine.

Basically, yeah.

Still pretty experimental, but sometimes it wakes them up.

She's ready, doctor.

How often have you seen this work?

On YouTube, several times.

How about in person?

Never.

Thalamus targeted, doctor.

Great. Fire burst.

Again. And another.

No matter what happened, I think it was really beautiful how you stepped up for

her.

I was lost once, too.

I wouldn't be here if somebody hadn't stepped up for me.

Again.

Whoa.

Turn on the intercom. I think she's saying something.

Turn it up.

If she's talking, how come she went like that?

I don't know. I've never seen anything like this.

Is that German?

Siri, translate.

According to this app, it's not... German, it's Pennsylvania Dutch.

Dutch. What is she saying? I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I just want to come home.

What did she say?

She's talking to her parents.

And I think I know where to find them.

Scott, no.

I understand the expedience of it, but I'm not going to lay that at Blue's

I know the consequences.

Yes, I'm sure.

Thank you. I'll see you at the hearing.

Is that your union rep?

Yeah, he says it'll mitigate my punishment if I'm willing to testify

misrepresented his intentions to me about joining the fire department.

I mean, he did, didn't he?

Yeah, but it wasn't until after he discovered the lies.

My lies.

How'd your meeting with him go?

It was a bust.

Oh, he'd have made a hell of a firefighter.

Yeah?

And then he went nuclear.

Well, he did that out of hurt.

And that justifies him lighting himself on fire and making a fool of the 113 and

of you?

No, it's just, there is a certain pain when you grow up not knowing where you

came from. And that's something he and I share.

And I don't.

No, you don't.

You sound like him. You're throwing my privilege in my face. Ryan, you are my

son. I love you.

I just want you to empathize with him.

He has always been lost, and never more than now. Well, have you considered,

even for a second, what it means to me if this goes south?

I lose my dad and my best friend at the fire station?

No, you haven't.

When I got struck by lightning, who kept my heart going?

When I was in a coma, who led this team through the storms?

I haven't had to worry about you for a damn second, because I know you can

handle anything.

With your brother?

I'm not so sure.

You sure you don't want me to stay with you?

Yeah. I can't both take off today.

Tell Cap I said thanks for understanding.

I will.

I'm sure he'll be very proud of you watching over her.

Tay.

I appreciate you.

I appreciate you.

Where... Where am I?

Hey.

They're awake.

You're in the hospital.

I remember your face.

I'm Roxy.

Greta. You've been in a coma.

You were calling out in your sleep.

I what?

You're from Etheridge, aren't you?

How'd you know?

Spoke Pennsylvania Dutch.

Etheridge is the closest Amish community in Tennessee.

Greta, did you run away?

I was on Rome Springer.

I came to Nashville and I saw the lights on Broadway.

I was enchanted.

Nashville has that effect.

I told my family I wasn't coming back.

But as time passed, I missed them.

I wanted to come home.

Why didn't you?

It was too late.

Once you turn your back on my community, that's it.

I couldn't bear a shunning from my parents.

Maybe they'd surprise you.

You don't know my culture.

I've never been so alone.

I just wanted the pain to end.

So I went somewhere beautiful.

Stood at the edge.

Took the pills.

Afterwards,

I just wanted to fall in and let the river wash me away.

Sorry, but you weren't going to let that happen.

I may not know your culture, but I know what it's like to feel alone.

My parents were pretty religious, too.

I didn't feel like I could be who I really was around them.

So I ran away.

Where did you go?

I grew up in New York, so parks during the days, subways at night.

But you made it.

Barely.

One night, people I was hanging out with sent me something and a drink.

Afterwards, they left me for dead.

I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I am too.

I woke up in a hospital.

I looked over and I saw my parents sitting by my bed.

They came as soon as they heard.

He took me home and never looked back.

What about that part of you that they didn't accept?

It was wrong.

They supported me with open arms.

Turns out they weren't the ones that had been closed off.

I wasn't.

Trust me, my parents aren't like yours.

Don't be so sure.

Oh, Granta.

Mama. My king.

Side.

How did you get here?

Samantha here showed up in the village with your photo.

Said you were hurt.

She drove us here, even though she had a shift.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

We have been so worried about you.

Well, Captain Smoke Show comes crawling back.

Thought she was going to be a hero.

Turns out I met her playing one on stage.

Look, I need money.

I'll dance whatever shit you have open. Dancing?

Who said anything about dancing?

What else would I do?

You can grab a mob and start cleaning the crappers out.

Should I start in the ladies or men's?

I'm just messing with you.

The look on your face.

You think I'm going to leave a set of abs like that on the bench?

Suit up, Captain. Your outfit's still in there.

Appreciate it, Mick.

But...

If you walk out on me again, you're dead to me.

Where are my keys?

He's drunk.

They always are.

Be right back.

Where are you going?

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

Forget it, Blue.

Ma 'am, you really shouldn't be driving. I'm happy to call you right there.

Whatever.

Blue?

This is your last chance.

Had too much to drink. Not a good idea.

911,

what's your emergency?

I need to report a drunk driver.

What's your location?

I'm headed west on Plunk. She's in a red SUV, license plate 3 -3, Foxtrot, Bravo

3, Mike, India. Hey, what's your name, sir?

It's Blue.

Blue Benning? Tammy?

It's me, hon. Listen, PD's en route.

Tell him to hurry before she kills somebody.

He's on the sidewalk.

Stop the car. Stop.

I'm trying to get her to pull over, but she won't listen.

Lou, let the police handle that.

Lou threw a stop sign.

I'm going to pull alongside her.

She's passed out at the wheel.

She's heading right for her school.

All available PD. Engine 113, truck 113, rescue 113. Respond to 14th and McCoy.

Code 3, code 3.

Cammy?

Would you please tell my mama you love her?

Wait, what are you planning?

Just tell her, Cammy.

Lou!

It's your emergency.

A car's on fire in front of Hobart Elementary.

The driver's still inside.

Help is already on the way.

I got it, Ted. I got it. I got it.

Dad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sit down. Stay down. Stay down.

Stay down.

There you go.

Somebody pop up the heat in here.

It's like an icebox. My boy's shivering.

Yeah, I'll see what I can do, but ma 'am, you're going to have to put that

There's no smoking in here. I ain't smoking.

It's a cigarette substitute to help me quit.

I got polyps.

Baby.

Let's go.

Baby, how you feeling?

My head hurts.

I'm a little chilly, but okay.

I knew it.

Let me get you some more blankets. Hey, nerd.

It's okay.

It's okay. Just sit with me.

Hey.

You know, I got a message from that dispatcher lady, Cammie.

She told me what you said just before the crash.

You're my mom.

God, I am so sorry I lied to you about your father and kept him from you.

I was doing my best.

But now I see I did you wrong.

You did what you had to do to survive.

Does that mean you forgive me?

No.

That one's going to take a while.

But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate that you're the only one who's always

been there for me.

That ain't true.

Your father paid to support you this whole time.

He did?

Yeah. He even got you those presents from Santa, too.

Really?

Yeah, really. Dix, I got you your grape soda.

You're awake.

How much? I'll give you all a minute.

No, Lola. Stay.

It's about time we all had a talk.

Well, that was a crazy stunt you pulled off today.

You still gonna tell me that saving people isn't in your DNA?

Yes, I can always go back to lifeguard. How many times is life gonna have to

prove to you you're a firefighter?

Tell that to the chief.

I just did.

Based on the heroism you so publicly displayed today, the...

Department's official position is that you dropped that mannequin just over the

finish line.

Not short of it.

What does that mean?

I mean, that means you passed your test.

It means you can be a fireman. I told them you wouldn't want to work for me,

Wow.

Thanks for having my back.

Just wish I had it sooner.

Mom told me you supported me my whole life.

She did all the hard work.

But she did raise one hell of a young man.

It's just too bad we can't get back all that time we missed.

I'll take that regret to my grave.

So it would be pretty dumb to assign me to a new house.

Tell the chief I appreciate his offer.

But it's the 113 or nothing.

I think that can be arranged.

In fact, I know that can be arranged.

My boy is.

There's someone else who wants to say hey.

Hey, gang.

He's up.

There he is.

Crazy man.

Like a gun, man.

Scared the hell out of us, dude.

I'm happy to see y 'all. Happy to see you too, man.

Brave as hell.

How are you still this good looking, man? Look at your face like that. Come
