Inhale deep for six.

- Exhale for six. - _

And now you're aware of your breathing.

Take note of how you're feeling right now.

Pay attention to the sensations in your body.

Ugh!

And now take another deep breath.

- In through the nose... - Nope.

And out through the mouth.

Hi, you've reached Carina. Please leave a message.

Hey. It's me.

_

_

Here we go.

Hey.

- Ha, ha. - Got something for you.

- Thanks. - It's good to see you.

Thank you. I almost didn't make it inside.

Yeah, but you did. That counts for something.

- Hey. - You're here?

- I'm here. - Uh...

- Okay. - Okay.

I didn't expect you back so soon... how are you?

How's... Maya? H-H... You guys okay?

We're not okay, but...

what we do here is great, and our work is important,

so I'm not giving up on it.

- Cheers to that. - Cheers to that.

Cheers to that.

So, what's next on the campaign trail?

Some canvassing, and actually the rural development coalition

is inviting all the candidates to their next big event.

Apparently, there's gonna be a mechanical bull.

Ooh! You are absolutely riding that.

- I'm absolutely not. - Uh, yeah, we should probably douse you

in some baby oil first, too, right?

- No. - I mean, if that doesn't get you

some of Dixon's votes, I don't know what will.

If the fate of Crisis One hangs on

me gyrating on a piece of machinery, we are in real danger.

- I... - ? Ride it, my pony ?

- Stop it. - ? My saddle's ? Yeah.

- ? Waiting ? That's you. - Please. I don't like this.

? Come and jump on it ?

Okay, you know what? I expect this from Hughes,

- but you're better than this, Herrera. - I'm really not.

? If you wanna get nasty, baby ?

- Please stop! - What are you wearing?

What? I had a closed-door meeting at city hall.

Don't worry, my trainers are in my bag

and I'm ready for my ride-along.

And as a token of my appreciation,

I stopped to get you the best bagels in Seattle.

- Oh. - Mm, actually,

they're a distant second and you're late.

God, you're tough to please. Thought you said be here at 9:30?

Look, I get that you're just doing this ride-along

so you can watch Travis be great for campaign material,

but today, you're a recruit, and for firefighters,

15 minutes early is on time, clear?

- Aye-aye, Captain. - Actually, I'm a lieutenant.

For now. Anyone can see you're the one in charge around here.

Well, I'm easy to please. Hand 'em over. What do we got?

Did you bring cream cheese?

That is an American thing.

No, Eli. That's a world thing.

- Come look at this. - Huh? What am I looking at?

So, I circled every recent fire

- in my old neighborhood... - Mm-hmm.

And the majority were in structures

that haven't been inspected in years.

Is this about the fire we put out in your old neighborhood again?

- Captain. - Where you g...

So, I found an uptick in fires

and tons of unresolved safety violations in this one area.

That neighborhood is in our district now, so it's our responsibility.

I think we should start inspections today to get ahead of this.

You trying to worm your way out of desk duty, Ruiz?

Let's see. Most of these violations are petty.

Could wait a week, at least.

You know, respectfully, sir, they can't.

The neighborhood's been under-served for way too long.

- People could get hurt. - Oh, I thought Montgomery

was the political mouthpiece around here.

Tell you what, for the sake of ending this conversation,

you're free to investigate all the improperly placed

smoke detectors you'd like, Scooby-Doo.

- Uh, Pam Williams? - That's me.

Oh, hey. Welcome to the Dean Miller Memorial Clinic.

I-I guess you're here for Dr. DeLuca, huh?

Yeah. My friends Peggy and Dayna referred me.

Peggy and...

That's... Tha... That's fantastic.

Um, yeah, they were... They were such a help.

We... They... You know what? Follow me.

Uh, I'll send Dr. DeLuca right over.

Alright, here's the waiver.

Sign that and you're officially on shift.

Hopefully it won't get too hectic for you today.

- Oh, no, no. - The more intense, the better.

We need another hero moment to float to the press.

Hopefully we can get something good, like, uh...

like maybe you can catch a baby

being thrown out of a burning building.

- That's dark. - No, it's uplifting.

The catch that saved a life. It's heartwarming, and hearts...

Win elections.

Okay, listen, I hope you're not squeamish

about blood, vomit, or excrement.

There's a greater chance of you experiencing that

than your baby moment.

Wait, hang on. What's this? It says here that ride-along risks

include, but are not limited to, electrocution, radioactive

and chemical exposure, domestic disputes...

Seems like quite a lot of fine print that could lead to death.

Aid Car 19 requested

- to 1110 Cedar Street. - That's us.

Sign or stay, Eli. Your choice.

Wait, alright! I'm coming! I'm coming!

Hey, I wouldn't stress.

My parents used to get violations all the time

when the neighborhood started to change.

It's just people trying to shut them down

to make room for a new Pilates studio.

- Are you okay? - I'm good.

- Okay. - Yeah. You good?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

Just not the one gripping the steering wheel for dear life.

You know, I hope the old laundromat is still there

so we can stop by it on the way back to the station.

Oh, a laundromat?

I wish you would've told me, I would've brought my delicates.

No, you know, it's not your average laundromat. It's the best.

- You're going to love it. - Okay.

The lady that runs it is the sweetest.

She used to babysit me as a kid.

Whatever you want, you can get there.

Vintage baseball cards, old records,

a copy of whatever movie is playing in the theater...

- lingerie. - Oh. Oh, my God.

Okay. So you wanna...

wanna go buy some lingerie from your childhood babysitter?

That's pretty kinky. I like it.

- When you put it like that... - Yeah.

Is that what you want?

Hey. It's me.

I'm sorry.

I am getting help from Diane,

and I think it's working.

Please let me see you, okay?

I love you. I miss you.

And I can be better.

- Hey. - Hey.

Looking for clinic services, sir?

- Uh, yep. - Oh, okay. Uh, can I get a name?

Uh, the name is Vince.

Some people call me Vinnie.

- Vinnie. - Some people call me dummy.

Alright. I take it you've been drinking, sir?

Uh, dr-drinking is not the problem.

The problem are these burns I have that hurt like hell

- no matter how much I drink. - Yeah. Right... Okay.

Yes. Uh, right this way, sir.

- Yeah. Oh, God. - Alright. We'll take care of you.

- Synced and corrected by ChrisKe - -- for www.addic7ed.com --

So, how did you hear about our clinic?

Peggy and Dayna are my neighbors,

and they are always singing your praises.

- They say you're the best. - Oh, they're the best.

I love them.

- Is this your first pregnancy? - Yes.

I got tired of waiting,

decided to just do it on my own like a honeybee.

- Oh? - You know, they can

have offspring without mating, through parthenogenesis.

Oh, wow. They sound like they're miles ahead of us.

I'm an entomologist, so you got to forgive my bug references.

No, please keep them coming. That was pretty interesting.

Uh, so, what brings you in today?

Just vitals, or do you have any specific concerns?

- Vitals. - Okay.

And I also just want to make sure everything's okay with the baby.

And when was your last doctor's appointment?

Do you have a primary OB?

The one I have now just goes, "Okay," and "Uh-huh,"

whenever I bring up concerns.

And I've heard horror stories of doctors missing things,

so I'm just... trying to advocate for myself.

I understand. Well, your doctor should definitely be listening to you.

So, I can run some tests. I can even do an ultrasound here.

Have you had your gestational diabetes screening test yet?

No. Wow...

I did not expect all this from a fire station.

- I know. - But, yes, I would love that.

- Thank you. - Great.

And I am sorry.

- May I? - Yes.

Why are you sorry?

Because I was warned that you were a great beauty

and that I might have a hard time focusing

and I thought I'd prepared myself but clearly I didn't

because you literally glow and...

- Okay. - And I just said that out loud

and now this is harassment and I'm even more sorry.

I-It... it really isn't, and, uh, you're glowing yourself.

- I'm pregnant. You have to say that. - No, I don't.

- What happened? - Tell you the truth, I don't know.

I was black-out drunk when I woke up with it a few weeks ago.

W... I'm sorry, weeks?

Yeah, well, I thought the pain would start to go away.

- There you go. - Boy, I was... I was wrong on that one.

Well, it should have already started healing itself,

you know, after a couple of weeks,

but excessive alcohol use tends to slow the healing down.

Well, excessive alcohol use is my motto.

Okay.

It's what they should carve on my tombstone.

Somebody call the VA right away,

tell them to write it down quick before I croak.

You're a... You're a veteran?

- Yeah. Spent 30 years in the army. - Oh, wow.

- I served in the Marines. - Ah.

But not for 30 years. That's...

That's very impressive.

- Well, thank you. - Yep.

Hey, Vince? How long has your stomach been swollen like that?

Swollen?

That's A-plus prime beer belly right there.

I hate to break it to you, bud, but that's...

that's no beer belly.

It's been a minute.

Yo, yo!

Theo Ruiz!

Long time no see!

What's up, man?

Teodora all grown up. Pero est�s flaco.

You could use some meat on your bones.

Man, I just got here, you already ragging on me?

Always, man.

Everyone, this is Firefighter Victoria Hughes.

She's going to be working with me to carry out

- the inspection today. - Hey.

- Yeah, of course. I remember. - Yeah, it's good to see you again.

I've heard a lot about you, so...

- All good things, right? - Oh, yeah.

Alright, relax.

- Theo Ruiz... - Hey!

As I live and breathe.

Wow. You even smell like a grown man.

This guy used to walk around smelling like VapoRub all the time.

Vic, this is Mr. Ortega. He was my fourth grade teacher.

He and his wife own the laundromat

- I was just telling you about. - Oh, okay.

- It's very nice to meet you. - Likewise.

- Yeah. - Uh, we closed that laundromat.

It got too hard to manage as we got older.

- Oh, no. When? - Ah, about 10 years ago.

Bro, come sit in my chair. Let me tighten you up a bit.

Ah, man, I'm at work. I can't.

You know that breaks my heart, right?

I would if I could, you know? You always give the freshest cuts,

but you know a good job's hard to come by, man.

I'm trying to keep it professional, you know?

Yeah, I see you got that Poindexter cut.

- Very professional indeed. - You got jokes. You got jokes.

No, just, uh, get the cut. I'll... I'm gonna get started.

Yeah. Just back here?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. R-Right through there. - Okay.

- Come on. Andale. - Alright, alright.

- Let me hook you up. - Alright.

Hey, if you break that very expensive piece

of life-saving equipment,

- someone could die today. - It's a flashlight.

Everything on an aid car is important, Eli. No small parts.

Alright, we're here. Look alive.

You're being ridiculous. Don't!

Come on! No...

Oh!

Guys, s-stop. Stop it.

No... Stop! Both of you!

Wow. You'd think the odds would be in the football

player's favor, but it looks like the duck is winning.

Both you you, enough! Seriously, you're being idiots!

It is not my fault you clowns lost!

- Stop. - Whoo! Score, baby!

Hey, hey! Hey! Hey! That's enough!

- What, you called the cops? - We're not the cops.

What was I supposed to do? The last time you two got into it,

- you ended up in the hospital. - Ah, so there's a precedent for this.

Hey, shut up. I'm gonna need everyone to just

- take it down a notch, alright? - Get over it.

Alright, she left you for me, and who can blame her?

I got a full ride to Michigan coming up,

- and you're a guy in a duck suit. - Hey, hey.

- Not after the way you played today! - Alright, alright, alright!

- My friend's gonna check out... - Okay! That is the opposite

- of taking it down a notch. - his nose, and you're gonna calm down.

- Go sit down. - I'm completely calm!

- That was really loud. - Ugh.

Sit down.

Look, as soon as you leave here, I advise you to visit

an emergency department for further treatment.

There's a lot of fluid built up in there,

- and that can't be comfortable. - I'll be alright.

Emergency rooms are just pipelines for detox clinics.

Hey, Gibson.

- Ye... - Gibson, come here.

Does this clinic of yours offer alcohol rehabilitation services?

- No. Not at the moment. - No? Then what the hell is that?

We're not giving him rehab services.

- We're just treating a burn. - A burn?

Look at the man. He needs a hospital.

- Well, he doesn't want to go. - Well, he can't be here.

Wha... We can't just kick him out

because he doesn't want to go to the hospital.

We have to treat him. I mean, that's the way the clinic works.

Well, that's just stupid.

- Hey, Vic? - Hmm?

You know this fool used to follow me around everywhere.

- Oh, yeah? - Como chicle!

Monkey see, monkey do.

I couldn't shake him. I remember this one time,

I accidentally bleached some black t-shirts in the wash.

- Uh-huh. - Of course, I rocked them,

'cause... I had no other choice.

- Yeah. - Right. Right.

But the very next day, this fool right here

bleached all his shirts, too, on purpose.

OK, hey, man.

Hey, he was like the coolest dude on the planet to me.

How could I not jock his style?

He had the nicest car. Real Rico Suave.

Hey, hey, hey, I still am. I still am.

And he had the most player walk ever.

- Oh! - Okay, well, now I gotta see it.

- Let's see the walk. - You wanna see the walk?

I'll show you the walk. I'll show you the walk.

Tell me this ain't him. Okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not it. That's not it.

Come on, sit down and be still if you want a clean cut.

- Remember, you move, I move. - Alright. Alright.

Hey, he jacks me up, it's you who's gon' have to look at me.

Alright, well, do your worst, then, Tom�s.

- Wait. Is that you? - That's you?

Yeah, that's me. That's me.

Whoa! You see, that's what I'm talking about!

Okay.

Ugh. After today, I'm done with teenage boys.

I'll date grown men who don't punch each other in the face

and... try to control me with their patriarchal BS!

- You're in for a rude awakening. - Someone more like...

you. You're hot.

Are you single?

I was just defending your honor.

- "Defend my honor?" - Yeah.

You were just mad he said hi to me.

No, actually, I was mad you said hi to him.

- Oh, absolutely not. - I'm sorry. Joanie, I was just kidding.

Don't be such a bitch.

- Whoa. - Hey. Hey.

- What did you call me? - Hey. Hey. Hey. Back up.

Andy! My nose!

- My shoulder! - I'm sorry.

- Okay. Okay. You good? - I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Are you good? - Yeah. I'm... I'm... I'm...

I'm just a little grossed out by blood.

- Okay. - My own especially. But, uh, yeah.

- It's okay. - I'm just going to, uh...

It... It doesn't look like it's broken, alright?

- Yeah, okay. - Let's go get you cleaned up.

This is all your fault, you know that?

- How is this my fault? - Has everyone now had enough?

Okay? Because we now have not one, but two bloody noses.

And I know I have. I know I've had enough,

so we're gonna check you both out again,

and then we have two options...

One, you all call your parents and they all come pick you up.

Two, we call the cops and they do.

- No. Uh... - That's what I thought.

Ah, so this is the baby's head.

So everything looks okay? Nothing's wrong with it?

Yeah. It's a beautiful head. Oh, look, these are the toes.

- Ohh. - Do you already know the sex?

- No. - Do you want to know today?

- No. Yes. - Oh.

No!

I should want to be surprised, right?

- I mean... - I mean, that's what good moms say.

Wow. I'm really having a baby.

What if I'm bad at this?

I mean, I'm all this kid's got.

Hey, a lot of women have kids on their own

and they are fantastic moms.

- Do you have kids? - No. Not yet.

- May I? - Yes.

But if I'm going to be real with you,

I have been going through the insemination process, too.

So you see kids in your future.

- Mm-hmm. - Are you married?

Uh, yes to future kids, and... and yes, I'm married.

And I know we just met, but I have the feeling

you're going to be great at this.

- Don't worry. - Thank you.

Hey, don't you think that Carina's spending

a lot of time with that patient?

Okay. Look, Gibson, whatever you are thinking, don't.

I'm just saying, they seem very friendly, you know?

- Okay, no, no, no. - Look, Carina's an excellent doctor.

She brings little humans into the world.

That's just how she does her job, you know?

And she... she does her job very well.

- Oh, there. There, huh? - Yeah, very well.

Yeah. See that? That's not good.

That's not good. I'm just sayin'.

Man, you're tripping. The Niners will be

in the Super Bowl next year, bet that!

- Ah. - Ah, you're delusional, bro!

Okay, so we, uh... we got a little bit of a problem here.

Come on. Don't... Don't trip. It's just an extension cord.

Yeah, I can see that. It's quite a lot of them, actually.

We can't have all of these power cords attached to one source.

Yeah, the electrical cords could short out and overheat.

It could cause an electrical fire if it overloads.

Okay, I'll get some more power strips immediately.

The word "fire" alone around here seems like taboo these days.

Every time I turn around, something else is burning,

and I'm not gonna be next.

- It's the homeless people. - That's right.

They're just trying to stay warm at night.

No, no, no, no, no. That's what they want you to think.

- Here we go again. - They?

The neighborhood hasn't been inspected,

it's probably got plenty of hazards that could cause fires.

Alright, before anyone starts calling me nuts,

just hear me out for a second. Otra vez.

Oh, no, please, just... Just hear me out, okay?

I've asked around after that fire you guys put out

at my neighbor's house...

and it seems like all these newcomers to the neighborhood

are always sniffing around with some contracts,

trying to buy people out.

I guess they figure if they can't buy us out...

- they'll smoke us out. - Well, I want you to know

that we're taking your concerns very seriously.

Now, I wouldn't be who I am without this place.

- Hey. - Thanks, bro.

Maybe we'll see your face around here more often, huh?

- S�, Theo. - That's one good thing

that's come out of this.

It finally brought you home.

- Hey, what is this? - Do you mind if I look back here?

Sure, it's just a bunch of supplies back there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Here we go. This is for the cough.

- Alright. - Go ahead and take a drink.

W-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where'd that blood come from?

Are... are you coughing up blood?

No, I'm fine. Happens all the time.

Yeah, well, it shouldn't. When did this start?

We don't need to get into that, alright? I'm here for the burns.

Yeah, yeah, well, open up.

Hold still, Vinnie. Hold still.

Okay, yeah. There's a lot more going on here

than meets the eye.

Sit tight. I'm gonna grab a stethoscope to listen to your lungs.

We'll be right back, alright?

Do you really think that a pack of fluids

and a couple bandages is gonna make him any better?

You're spinning your wheels here...

There's nothing that can be done.

Can we just explain a few things about this patient to you?

Exp... Nah. I'm not... I'm not interested, alright?

This is not a hospital, so just send him to one.

So, urine is normal.

Everything looks great so far.

I'm just waiting for the glucose results.

Do you have any other questions or further concerns?

Out with it.

Are you still trying to get pregnant?

You said earlier that you had tried insemination.

Yeah, I mean, no. No, not really.

Uh, my wife and I are separated,

not legally but we're taking time apart.

And that has put a pause on the baby-making plan.

- I'm sorry to hear that. - It's okay. Really.

We both needed the time apart.

If you don't get back together, are you still gonna have a baby?

I want a baby more than anything.

I-I want to sing to them

and make them biscotti.

I want to teach them how to drive,

so, yes, I would. But my wife is a...

was a big part of that dream, too.

But what you are doing right now,

having a baby on your own because that's what you want?

That's brave.

- Okay. - Uh, okay?

I actually hate surprises.

- Okay. - What am I having?

Are you sure?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - It's a boy!

Yes!

Assuming that's how it identifies.

- I'm so happy. - Aww.

I mean, you can keep checking that,

but this is kind of a big deal.

Yeah. Alright.

Let me do the talking. This might take some finessing.

Okay.

Oye, Tom�s?

_

_

Bro, come here.

_

_

_

_

I will take care of that next week.

Next week? No, I'm... sorry.

Sorry. It's just we gotta take care of this today.

We don't want to have to shut you down. It's not...

Okay, no... I said I'll handle it, Vic.

Alright? It's between me and my boy.

No disrespect, but I'm not talking with you.

- This is, uh... - Uh-huh.

And I've saved his ass way too many times in the past.

And all... all I need is a week.

Okay, this is actually not between you and your boy.

This is a safety hazard,

and you said you wanted to take care of this today,

and we're here now, so...

Well... Okay, well, we can work with him, okay? Just relax.

Bro, you got to handle your girl.

- Shut up, Tom�s. - Alright. Okay.

Can you hold on just for a second, Vic?

Alright, well, one of us has to do our job,

Theo, so I don't...

Okay, well, we can do our job and still help him out.

We have six other places we need to inspect today.

Well, this takes priority.

Oh, why? Because he's a childhood friend?

No. Because he's family.

- Oh, come on. - Oh.

- See? This is... - Sorry. Sorry, gentlemen.

One moment, please.

We don't turn our backs on each other where I'm from, alright?

Now, you go through your whole life

so understanding and compassionate to a fault,

and suddenly, what, today you switch up?

No, I'm not switching up. I'm just trying to do my job, okay?

And family? I didn't know these people existed

until, what, this week?

And apparently, you haven't seen them in years.

- So... - Well, I appreciate the understanding.

Hey, he's still here?

I can't believe he's gone on this long without help.

What's he still doing here?

He's got a buildup of fluid in his abdomen

which is consistent with liver disease...

Yeah, he's got cirrhosis of the liver, I get it,

but in your expert medical opinion,

- shouldn't he go to a hospital? - Well, it would be beneficial, yes.

Okay, it would be beneficial,

- so why are my orders being ignored? - Because he's resistant.

Well, what's he gonna do, overpower you, Sullivan?

The man can barely walk. Just make him go.

We can't force care on him.

I mean, the best... we can do

is give him resources for outpatient care. That's it.

Oh, come on. That's not gonna work. The man's a lifelong drunk.

I'm not gonna let him drop dead on my watch.

If you won't make him go to the hospital, then I will.

Look, he's a vet, Captain, okay?

Have a little respect.

- Respect? - Yeah.

Alright, that's not the first thing that comes to mind, okay?

He's my uncle, alright?

Alright, let's not do this again, okay?

'Cause when you're older, it's not just a cat fight,

it's... assault, alright? Clear?

- Clear. - Clear.

Now get out of here.

Okay. Okay.

- Hey, you sure... - Whoa.

- Hey, hey, hey. - Hey, you okay?

You might be overheating a little bit.

- Yeah. - You just went like five rounds

in essentially a sleeping bag.

Let's... Let's get you out of this suit.

Hey, Eli, get me a bottle of water from the back, there.

- Probably dehydrated. - Here.

There you go. Oh, my God. That cage in his suit...

It looks like it broke, and it stabbed him.

Okay, here, do me a favor. Sit down right here.

- Oh, my... - Look up.

- Breathe. Eli, do not look. - I already looked. Uh...

Look up. Look at me. Just breathe.

That's it. That's it.

I, uh... I think I should sit down.

- Okay. - Hey, you're okay.

I always thought I was gonna have a girl,

but now I can't imagine not having a boy.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I-I grew up with a baby brother,

and when I think about having a child,

I always imagine a baby boy. It just feels right.

I remember Peggy and Dayna told me that they were thrilled

when they found out they were having a girl.

- Yeah? - Peggy said,

"I can't imagine having a penis in my house."

Oh, my...

- I love them. - They're just such a good team.

- The gold standard. - Yep. Clumsy and all.

I want a partnership like that. I mean, is that too much to ask?

Mm...

I know the feeling.

Okay, let me give you some pamphlets.

- Okay. - You can keep them,

or you can eat them, or you can sell them.

Hey, what do you think they're laughing about now?

Who?

Oh, what, Carina can't be funny now?

No, she's funny, yeah.

But she's not "throw your head back in laughter" funny.

Okay, well, if you're so concerned,

why don't you just go in there and see what's going on?

I should. I should go in there and remind her she's married

because apparently, it's slipped her mind.

Okay, you know, Maya did kick her out.

Yeah, but she didn't mean it. There's no way she meant it.

You know what? On second thought, don't. Don't go in there.

- Wha... - Please.

Damn it.

I know. I know. We got to get going.

Just give me a second.

- It's okay. What's wrong with it? - Nothing, I got it. I'm good.

What's the amperage say on the box?

It's, uh, 20 amps.

Okay, this is just 10.

Can you hand me a 20? Did you already disconnect

the extension cords leading back to the apartment?

- Yeah. - This used to happen

at my parents' restaurant all the time.

When you run too much power through fuses

with too low an amperage, they burn out.

Yeah, I guess I should have tried that first.

You know, it's not just about them failing the inspection, Theo.

You don't want this place to burn down

- because of an electrical short, right? - I know. I know. I know.

Um, do you think that you should sit out

on calls and inspection in this neighborhood for a while?

What, so now it's your place to say what calls I do and don't go to?

No, I just think you're too close to it.

Last week, you were insubordinate to our captain

and you nearly died in an explosion in this same neighborhood,

and today, you totally undermined me

when you know I was just trying to do my job.

No, look, you don't... You don't get it.

Yep. You're right. I don't get it,

but, hey, least the fuse box is fixed

and Tom�s can pass his inspection.

Captain of an entire station.

I didn't think you had it in you.

- Alright. - Your father would be proud.

Where have you been?

Oh, you know, here and there.

- You look like Grandpa. - Heh.

You smell like him, too.

Oh, that bad, huh?

I guess I come by it honest.

We missed you at the funeral.

Yeah, well, you know, I-I didn't want

to burden anyone with my problems.

Yeah, well, you got two ex-wives who'd argue different.

You wouldn't have been a burden, Uncle Vince.

I mean, look at you.

You're hardly in a position to refuse help.

But I don't want any, Seany.

I just don't want it.

We have a 17-year-old male

with an abdominal impalement coming in.

Systolic in the 70s and tachycardic.

Five minutes out.

No, no, no. Take Broadway. We'll get there faster.

I know you're scared, but I do this every day,

and I've driven to the hospital thousands of times.

Then you should know Broadway is faster.

Just sit back and ice your nose.

Is it bad?

Don't you worry. You're gonna be just fine.

- I didn't even feel it. - Yeah, that happens.

Your adrenaline was probably up after taking down that jock.

You're gonna get back to school, everyone's gonna be talking

about what a legend you are.

- Yeah? - Yeah, for sure.

Your parents are gonna be pissed, though.

How you doing, buddy?

Andy, I'm losing him. I'm gonna have to intubate

if we don't get there in the next minute.

Okay. We fixed the fuses to power up the shop,

so you passed inspection.

Um, but you'll need to limit each outlet

- to less than 20 amps. - Okay.

- Okay? - Yeah, so don't run

the space heater, microwave,

blow dryer all on one outlet and you should be fine.

Okay. Thank you, guys.

And, uh, Victoria, I'm sorry.

Um, you two, uh, got to make up. This is all my fault.

I didn't mean to tell you how to do your job.

It's okay. Um, I'm sorry, too, about all the...

Just no more extension cords back to the apartment, okay?

- Okay. - And next time when we come back,

maybe you can really fix his hair.

- Gotcha. - Okay.

- Hasta la proxima. - Bye, Theo.

So you can come back in a few weeks

and I'll give you your next round of tests

if you're still up in the air about an OB,

or I can take you on, primarily.

- Thank you, Dr. DeLuca. - Yeah, of course. Thank you.

- But... - But what?

I don't know if having an OB you're attracted to

is the smartest thing to do.

I'm... I'm gonna be all ugly and gross

in the delivery room, feeling self-conscious

because my crush has her hand up to my cervix.

Okay, okay. You're funny.

And... And very sweet. And thank you.

I-I was having a bit of a hard day

and needed the laughs.

Bye.

Do you want to grab a coffee?

Or some ice cream, or go to a bar after you get off?

I mean, I can't drink, but I do miss the ambiance.

- Um... - Oh, God. That was so forward.

I'm sorry. I really connected with you,

and I know that you're going through a tough time right now

and I am not trying to take advantage of that.

- I just... - It's okay.

I-I-I-I appreciate the offer. I-I do. Really.

You do?

So does that mean we have a date?

- Jack? What are you... - Yeah, what?

Oh, come on.

- We should have intervened. - No, no...

- We should have. - You are reading into this.

She's a doctor, Jack. She's not gonna date a patient.

Really? Are you looking at the same thing I'm looking at?

Huh? Are you? I don't think you are.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. That... That was crazy.

Th-There was blood everywhere. Like... And the...

the whole time, Travis is just calmly stopping that kid from bleeding out,

- like it's just business as usual. - Um, because it was.

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Altman.

The mascot is stable.

Oh, thank God.

I told you he was gonna be okay.

Yeah, but he only listens to doctors.

He thinks we're stupid and noble.

Who's stupid and noble?

Uh, according to Eli, we are.

Those were his exact words.

Oh, no, no, no. I-I was just kidding.

And in fact, I have a newfound respect

for you all today, and that's for sure.

Oh, because you didn't respect us before?

Let's just let this be a beautiful moment.

You know, the... the child lives because of you.

- You don't look so good, though. - I'll be fine.

Eli got the full first responder experience.

Patients can be scrappy sometimes.

You remember when I got choked at that nursing home?

Yep. Those elderly can be ferocious.

Uh, kids, too. Try having your hair pulled

by an 8-year-old with an ear infection.

So let me get this straight,

getting beaten up in the process of saving lives

is just a standard Tuesday for you?

- Yeah. - You never know what

you're gonna walk into. That's the job.

- And you love this job? - Yeah.

Okay, yeah, maybe we are stupid and noble.

Speak for yourself.

What are you doing?

I'm, uh... I'm trying to cross reference

all the arson incidents with recent fires

- and the witness statements... - Okay. No, no, no. No, no, no.

I'm saying what is going on with you?

The whole reason we went to do inspections today

is because you had safety concerns. Then we get there,

the whole place is a fire waiting to happen,

and then you just want to let it slide?

I wasn't going to let it slide. I just...

- I just wanted to help. - Uh, what, by undermining me?

I mean, maybe you got carried away

and forgot we were at work, but...

I don't know, I just... I've never seen

that side of you before.

That's... I don't know, that's how I get

around the old neighborhood, you know?

It's... The people bring it out of me, I guess.

Okay, or maybe it's who you are,

and you've just gotten really good at code switching.

Damn. Well, you're worse than Diane.

Wow. That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

Thank you. Does that mean I'm right?

I mean...

I don't like the phrase you used, what, code switching?

Sounds like you're calling me a fraud.

- Well, I'm not. - It's not like I'm doing it on purpose.

I mean, I didn't even know I was doing that.

I'm not saying you are, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing.

I'm saying it's a survival thing.

- You said I couldn't understand. - I know. I...

I know you do. I know.

I just... I said that to win.

And I'm sorry.

I know you were just doing your job.

- Mm-hmm. - You did a good job.

Thank you.

But, you know, let's keep it real.

If I wanted to be taken seriously at work,

I can't be the Theo you saw at the shop.

Yeah, I know, but I would just really like it

if you felt like you could be your whole self with me.

Which version of me do you like the best?

Well, I don't know.

I think I like the one who is sorry for being an ass to me today.

- I did ask you to let me handle it. - Okay.

I did. You could've just let me handle it,

and we woulda gotten to the same place...

- Mm. - Without the big fight and...

Alright. Alright. Okay, that's fair.

That neighborhood does trigger you, though.

- Yeah, no. I told you that. - Mm-hmm.

Don't tell the family about seeing me today.

- I don't want anyone to worry. - We're past worrying about you.

We haven't heard from you in years. I thought you had died.

Good. It'll be less of a show when I do go.

- That supposed to be funny? - I'm not laughing.

So, uh, how are you... How you holding up?

You, uh... You doing alright? 'Cause you don't look so good.

I don't look so good? That's rich.

Hey, the Beckett men are cursed with drink.

I said what I said. You don't look so good.

- Well, I am fine. - Oh, you're fine? You're fine...

Let me tell you something, when you're not so fine,

don't go looking for comfort in booze.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Listen, Uncle Vince,

why don't you let me check you into a hospital, huh?

Look, you can stay with me after you're discharged.

You won't have to go to a detox center.

We can put you in some kind of, like, outpatient program,

alright? If you keep refusing medical care,

you're not gonna make it much longer.

You're just putting a Band-Aid on a time bomb.

You know, you're about 20 years too late to save me, Seany.

Warren! Warren!

He's seizing. Okay.

Come on. Get me an aid car!

It's alright.

Yes. Hi. Yes, this is Lieutenant Ruiz at Station 19.

I'm... I'm doing fine.

Um, yeah, I know it's late,

but I was hoping someone over at the Arson Unit

could take a look at a fire report.

The fire happened about... a week ago.

We didn't find any incendiary devices

on the scene of the incident,

but there was a second unexplained blast

with no obvious source,

so I just wanted to be sure.

I'll send it right over, thank you.

Yeah, well, I-I appreciate it. That's great. Thank you.

- Yeah? - Hey.

- Hey. - Just checking on you.

Well, I am good.

They admitted Vince to observation.

Yeah, so, your uncle said he, uh, did 30 years in the service?

Yeah, the man has certainly lived.

Yeah, that's double my time.

How many years did you say you, uh, been with the fire service?

It's coming up on 20.

Wow, that's, uh... yeah.

Yeah. Cut to the chase, Sullivan.

You know, in the military, we call that a lifer.

Mm.

And lifers tend to, uh, hit the bottle...

hard.

Too many years seeing things

that most human beings aren't supposed to see.

- At least not in one lifetime. - Is that all, Lieutenant?

Yeah, just, you know, wanted to say I'm sorry about your uncle,

and, uh...

I hope he gets help

or at least some, uh... Some rest, you know?

Oh, and congratulations on the almost 20 years.

That's... very impressive.

Do you think we owe Bishop, like, a heads-up, you know?

Okay. There's nothing to give a heads-up about.

All we saw today was Carina perform as a kind and professional OB.

No, I-I saw a little bit more than that.

And if she finds out, then what?

Again, there is nothing to find out about.

We saw nothing, okay? So just stop with the gossip.

Okay, you know, if I saw you flirting with a woman,

just, clearly, I would run to Miran...

Okay, you don't have to finish that sentence.

Okay, I'm just saying, you know, we're... we're... we're family.

So are they. And I fought hard to get back here.

And I'm not gonna just let my family fall apart, you know?

Look, nothing is falling apart.

I mean, trust me, marriage has its ups and its downs.

Look. Hey. Hey.

You're not losing family.

Whoa. What are you...

- Whoa. Oh. - Doing in here?

I-I-I didn't know you were gonna be in here. Sorry. I...

Travis said I could, uh, wash my, uh, face, so, um...

- I can leave. I can leave. - No, no, no, no.

You should probably finish cleaning up.

Uh, go for it.

I still don't see how you do this.

You... You guys are superheroes.

Yeah, well, we don't typically get, um,

injured back to back,

but you can take a hit, I'll give you that.

Uh, yeah, well, you know,

I might have to take a complaint out on the station,

because nowhere in the waiver did it say

that I run the risks of being decked by a teenage girl.

Yeah.

We've got to... we've got to update that thing.

Besides, nobody to you to get in the middle of it.

- I was trying to defend you. - And what did we learn?

I, um...

I-I will reconsider filing under one condition.

- What's that? - You let me take you out.

Oh. You want a pity date?

I'll take whatever I can get.

- Hmm. - Um, but someplace

where we can avoid mascots and fire poles.

That, you know, would probably be best.

- Okay. - Okay? Like, uh, yeah?

- Tomorrow? - No, not tomorrow.

No, yeah, short notice.

Um, well, you know, um... Um, I'll be in touch,

'cause, uh, I know where to find you.

Not in a creepy way or anything.

It's not like I know where you live.

Yet. Or, you know, maybe I never will because, uh...

- Can I go shower now? - Yeah. Yes.

Um... just take those and...

I'm just here to pick up a few things.

I can't use that hotel shampoo anymore. It's awful.

- You can always come home. - Where's the shampoo?

I miss you.

I left you a voicemail.

Yes. I got it.

- Did you listen to it? - Yeah.

I know I made mistakes. And I know I scared you.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

I'll be better.

- You said that. - I mean it.

I need more time.

Seeing you like that,

in a hospital bed, what you did to yourself.

I can't just jump right back into this with you

like I didn't spend the greater part of my year

begging you to get help.

I'm happy for you. I am.

But this is just another thing you did to keep your job.
