Onder Vuur (2021) s01e04 Episode Script

PREVIOUSLY
- This is not the best plan.
- I've decided.
It's now or never.
There's no pressure! Hurry up!
Give it to me!
That's the first and last time
you do this.
You got a problem with me, say it.
In contrary
to what has been reported
on social media and the press,
what happened is the flow was almost nil
and delayed our efforts
to respond to the fire.
Low flow rate?
Hey, have you thought about the position
left by Steve?
These clothes are yours. I washed them.
You didn't have to, okay?
How is everything with Maaike?
Have you seen her?
Please don't talk about her.
Steve, stop! Stop!
I guess you're right.
The assistant exam, I'll take it.
A NETFLIX SERIES
Good morning, honey.
- Come here.
- No, honey, don't What are you doing?
- You're up early.
- Yeah.
- Going to work?
- I don't have much choice, do I?
- Come back quickly.
- Yeah.
- So we can be together.
- Yeah. Always, honey.
You should leave.
- Oh, right. I'm going.
- Just go. Go on.
All right.
See you later.
UNDER FIRE
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hello.
Working already?
During the season,
you have to give it your all.
The earlier in the morning, the better.
Did you find them?
Yeah, of course.
A goodbye gift from me, man.
Those critters have been growing here
for five years.
Top quality, man.
Ah, Henri, I know you.
If you left me that,
there must be a reason.
What is it? Just tell me.
Um
I'm worried about Gio.
With all those news stories
He worries that it's all his fault.
Well, you know
Gio is a firefighter. Shit happens.
Do you want him to end up
like Steve, my friend?
What are you thinking?
Don't you think it's weird?
Hydrants with no water, man. Hmm?
Back in the day, we used to call you
"The Terrier." Hmm?
Mm-hmm?
What if you took a look into
the network maps of the hydrants?
Before and after the digitization.
Try to compare them.
What did they say at headquarters?
Don't they think it's strange?
Well, man. It's weird, right?
It's a big clusterfuck.
Anyway
I have to go to the station.
Are you excited to go to the canal?
Yeah.
You hungry? All right.
Happy?
Like it?
Mom says I can only drink sugar-free soda.
Daddy thinks
it's all right. Okay?
Cool.
Did you get it?
Did it work?
Did it work?
Yeah, yeah.
Got a cool somersault recorded.
You should try jumping
from up there.
- From the big gray crane.
- From up there?
I've done it before. It's 50-feet high.
- Awesome.
- Fifty?
- Uh-huh.
- What?
Like an Olympics dive?
No, standing up in a straight line.
You should try it.
Oh. One, two. We're going to be late.
Good luck with your jumps.
Thanks.
What a mess. Come on.
Up.
We have a special job.
A dangerous substance intervention.
A construction worker
got acid in his face.
Probably a love affair gone wrong.
We're supporting the police
in cleaning up the place.
And, Orlando, supporting the police
does not mean
taking over the intervention. Do you copy?
Yeah, copy that.
That was good.
Hmm?
They seem to be getting used to you,
don't you think?
Or simply behaving
like they're supposed to.
Mm-hmm.
So where's Tom today, huh?
I believe the intern is a bit petrified.
I get that.
The gas explosion and bus fire.
No, Vince. Of Nina.
I don't understand.
You're making an appointment to tell me
you're not coming anymore?
I don't want to do therapy.
Plus, East station was a good choice.
Now I have something
that I haven't had in a while.
Control.
The pile of cocaine in front of me
doesn't seem to faze me anymore.
I'm leaving the past behind.
I take it you're going to
tell your new friends
the truth about your past?
You know I can't do that.
Thanks.
The suspect is still inside
on the fourth floor.
He probably has some acid left.
Bring your team inside.
No, no! Team TOR goes first
and we follow them.
My team is not a human shield, officer.
We won't do it.
FIRE DEPARTMEN
OFFICER
Okay, Gio, Orlando,
follow team TOR to the fourth floor.
Vincent and Noelle, third floor.
Acid cleaning.
- Don't forget your bucket and sponge.
- Once more, you got lucky.
- Are you getting paid in food coupons?
- Ice cream, actually.
- You coming, Noelle?
- Yeah.
Look
I'm really happy for you,
don't get me wrong.
But you're working as a fireman now, Tom.
That means you're not just a danger
to yourself, but to others as well.
Imagine if they find out
that what you're doing is illegal?
And your confidentiality pledge?
Well?
- Here. Put these on the ground.
- Yeah.
There. Put them in the crate.
What a mess. Who does this?
This guy is totally crazy, right?
Machos.
They don't think with the upper head,
but with the small one between their legs.
Clear.
- Clear!
- Clear.
POLICE
Hands up!
- Turn around!
- Don't shoot!
- Quickly!
- Hands on your neck.
- On your knees.
- Quick, sir, on your knees.
- Spread your arms, facing up.
- What will you do?
- Can you bring a clean one?
- Yeah.
Noelle, watch out!
Oh, my God!
Don't move!
- Is that
- Stay away!
So you want to stop
with our sessions then?
That's fine.
But that means
I'm obliged to report what I know.
Very well. Okay. That's good.
Yeah, listen, I have to go now.
Because I need to attend a meeting
with the mayor.
Yeah, all right.
Yeah.
This is a very nice view, right?
Just take a look at that.
- It's nice.
- Oh.
- One of the perks of this job.
- Yeah.
Hey, do you see
that building over there?
Right on the top?
That's going to be my new apartment.
- Ooh.
- Yeah.
You can see the entire East side.
Such a great view.
Very different from where
we used to hang, right?
Two identical fishermen's houses.
- Me in the 18, and you were in the 16.
- Mm-hmm.
Those were very different times.
I remember we, uh, used to get on board
that fishing ship.
And try to catch cod and shrimp.
That's your version
of history, man, isn't it?
I know.
Well, Patrick, honestly,
sometimes I think you're too attached
to the past and you just won't let go
Come on, of course I let go.
What brings you in here? What do you need?
I need the maps of the hydrant network.
What for?
Because I need to find out why they
didn't work during the gas explosion.
Poking that bear is not a good idea.
Plus, it's all digitized now.
I will get you an appointment
to dig into the digital archives.
You can find what you need in the server.
I appreciate it, man.
Have a nice day, Gilbert.
He took a nice blow to the face, too.
I imagine you all cool,
grabbing that wrench and, bam!
Right in the dude's face.
Wow. I've said this before.
Vince can't be underestimated.
Oh, God. He's my hero in shining armor.
Hey, IT guy.
You making a PowerPoint presentation?
- I should.
- Step by step. Plop, plop, bam!
Vincent, do you have a moment?
It's for the firecams.
Oh, yeah.
See you.
- We won't hear the end of it.
- Bam!
Trust me.
DISTRICT 1
Well, it's for the investigation.
They want the explosion footage.
Hmm.
Is that all?
Yeah. That's all there is.
Ugh, damn it,
I needed it to build our case.
The newspaper was right, then.
Here.
This shit will look nice
on the news.
Please turn that off.
This is the only
uploaded footage, actually.
Apart from my own firecam previous videos.
No one knows how to do it.
It's been exactly like this for years.
Can't you teach the rest
how to do the uploading?
You should've seen
when I tried to explain to Patrick
how important it is that the firecam
footage gets uploaded on the computer.
You know him. "Why don't you put out
a fire with that dumb computer, kid?"
Drove me crazy.
All right,
we're going to fix that, Vincent.
From now on,
those cameras will be used correctly,
and it's your responsibility.
- Happy?
- Check.
Uh, excuse me.
Can you help me out
with this thing, please?
Yeah, sure. What's the problem?
Do you have to stick a screwdriver in,
or maybe pour some gasoline?
I really have no idea.
Let me take a look for you.
What are you looking for here?
I need the maps of the East Bank hydrants.
The ones around the retirement home
where that gas explosion happened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's take a look.
Okay, here's what we'll do.
I'll send you log-in credentials,
so you can search directly
from your office.
- Sound like a plan, my man?
- Yeah, sounds good.
All right.
You need to know your way
around this stuff.
Tell me about it.
- These archives are big.
- Yeah.
Okay.
As you all know, we have been asked to use
those firecams correctly for a while now.
What is that?
The fucking news, dude. We have a leak.
What do you mean?
I mean, they know shit about us.
Look, if you read it, they even mention
that we haven't made any footage.
Yeah?
How do they know that?
Kaplan.
Can you concentrate on class?
Good. I know we're incredibly tired
after all our interventions,
But just know it's critical for us
that the footage gets copied.
Who's still on the WhatsApp group
and doesn't work here?
Who got laid off? Who has
a neurotic disorder and is mad at us?
- Come on. Don't say Steve.
- Of course, Steve!
Gio! Isn't this interesting?
Of course it is. I was just telling
the B-Man that it's
Kaplan! Stop it already.
All right, so
- Asshole
- What is it?
- Stop it.
- It's true, though.
- Stop it!
- I can't believe you, seriously.
First ambulance requested.
Boy critically injured
after jump from crane, Canal District.
- She said "Canal"?
- Yeah.
Fuck. Fuck!
What happened now?
Okay, the main idea is
date, location, names.
And, uh, how do we upload the thing?
- Well, from your firecam.
- Uh, uploading
Is it like, uh, downloading?
No, what? So, the footage is stored
into your firecam.
Hey!
- Nina, get out.
- What's happening?
- Follow orders. Get out.
- You can't do this.
It's not your ambulance shift.
You planned the schedule.
I don't want trouble with the lieutenant.
I'm responsible for this.
It was me who told them to jump.
Oh, did you hear the macho?
How can we resist this brave man?
Lesson one in firefighting.
No personal involvement
during an intervention.
And close that door, please!
You're so quiet today.
Hmm? Nina girl?
Talk to me.
And say what?
That I'm not okay with them
gossiping about him?
Gio was upset because
of that situation with the gas explosion.
You know him.
He has a big mouth and a huge heart.
Steve would never talk to the press.
You doubt him, too, Noelle?
Someone did it.
Yeah, someone. It may as well be
the new recruit.
Come on, stop it please!
What you did yesterday was not okay.
And stop treating everyone so badly.
That mindset is excessive.
That poor guy didn't even show up today.
Perhaps you really need to brood over it.

Uh, and, Alissa?
What's that thingie?
What's the password to my email?
Well, that's personal, you know. I have
no way to know that for security matters.
Uh
- Thanks.
- Sure.
Ugh, damn it, this is not going to work.
I can't believe it.
Hi, Gio? It's Patrick.
Uh, do you think you could swing around
my new workplace please? Hmm?
Huh?
Central to ambulance.
Can I get an update on the situation?
A Martino without any onion.
Yeah, this doesn't look good.
Several fractures.
The boy wanted to impress his friends
and fell from the top of the crane.
- Copy.
- What's the matter?
- You getting any sleep lately?
- I'm just very stressed.
You worried?
I've done something stupid.
Did you swallow a pen again?
- You do know you should use them
- Shut up. Not now.
The kid's lost consciousness.
On our way to Az Damiaan Hospital.
- His condition is critical.
- Fuck.
You know the kid?
- Dominique Meersman.
- Yeah, is this Marieke's mom?
No. Well, yeah. Kind of.
Well, um, I'm Michel Dubois.
Your daughter and mine, Vera, are friends.
Or, well, at least they were.
Things are getting
really out of control now, ma'am.
I'd like to speak to you about this.
You see, Marieke is my stepdaughter.
I'd prefer if you
talk to my partner about this.
Yeah, I wanted to.
But I've called him a number of times
and he doesn't want to listen to me.
I'm worried about what's going on
with the kids at the square.
You know what I'm trying to say, right?
Your daughter is crossing the line, ma'am.
I mean really crossing it.
They're bullying Vera there and at home.
They're doing that blue whale challenge.
- Do you know what that is?
- Challenge?
It's a very dangerous thing, God damn it!

Yes, Sergeant. Don't be shy.
Whatever you need.
That kid. What did he look like?
- Uh, brown hair, around 13 maybe.
- Condition?
Dear Lord. Calm down, Orlando.
He's stable, but seriously injured.
It was a nasty fall, honestly.
- I want to see him.
- Hold on.
This was left in the ambulance.
It might be good if you're able
to give it back to the kid.
- Hey, Gio.
- Captain.
Nice office.
It is, indeed. Uh, come, sit down.
- What's so urgent?
- I need your help here.
Take a seat.
13/21 CHECKS
There it is.
I can't find any information
about that section.
Strange.
Something's missing.
- That's what I thought, yeah.
- Look.
Some reports have either been erased
- Mm-hmm?
- or never saved whatsoever.
Not possible. All the reports
should always be stored anyway.
But, Pat, you're looking at it.
It's not on the server.
Hmm. I guess you're right.
Don't mention this thing to anyone.
Mm-mmm.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Hello?
A little boy was brought in today,
seriously injured.
- He jumped off a crane.
- Yeah?
- Any news?
- Are you his family?
No, I'm a firefighter. I found his GoPro
and I'd like to give it to him.
And I'd like to see how he's doing.
Yeah, I'll have to ask the parents.
Why don't you wait in the hall?
- Okay?
- Yeah.
I'm sorry you had to wait, sir.
An emergency came up.
The doctor will be right with you
to discuss everything.
Yeah, good. Appreciate it.
Fuck! Damn it! Shit!
Fuck.
PLAYGROUND
Yeah, I know I'm late. Don't give me that.
Good God.
Hey there, buddy.
How was it?
You stayed here until the very end, huh?
Was it fun?
I'm sorry, son. For being so late.
I It's just I don't like waiting.
I know.
I have to do something real quick.
But afterwards we're going to have fun.
Sure.
You miss Uncle Patrick?
We can visit him, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
- All right.
Stop it.
Daddy will be right back.
I can try to jump over there.
You definitely could.
- Hey, guys.
- What's up?
Hey, sorry. Here's your GoPro, and, uh
Huh? This is my GoPro.
- So
- You didn't jump?
No.
- You didn't jump either?
- No.
No, it was too high for us.
- Actually, two other boys did.
- I heard.
Horrible.
- Yeah, I heard.
- Yeah.
- Don't jump from there, okay?
- Yeah.
- And you neither.
- I won't.
- All right. Bye.
- Yeah.
Hey, what the fuck?
Have you lost your mind?
- Mind your own business.
- Who's Vera?
Vera? Why are you asking me that?
I spoke to Vera's father on the phone.
Marieke, that girl's having
a mental breakdown due to you.
He says your gang has been
bullying her with some challenge.
That girl's scared
to leave her home, yeah?
Give me.
Stop! I don't want it!
Last time was too much
Here it is. The blue whale challenge.
What are you doing with it?
- It's just a game.
- A game?
I looked it up, your little game.
Marieke, some have died
because they played this thing.
Yeah, right. You don't know anything.
You only want to make me look bad
in front of my dad.
Just stop. Don't mess
with that girl's life, Marieke, hmm?
Her father sounded enraged on the phone.
Michel Dubois?
Is he bothering you now?
Trust me,
I've known that guy for a while now.
He was my classmate,
and it's always the same with him.
He's always kicking up a storm.
He was bullied back in middle school.
Don't sweat about it.
Good Lord. Come on.
Are you serious? Please.
Right. If you are going to fight, goodbye.
Marieke, I'm not done yet! Hey!
Don't yell, no.
Give the girl some space.
Remember, last weekend
was hard enough for her already.
Geert, none of this has nothing to do
with Line's birthday.
Did you even look up
that blue whale challenge?
Geert! It's perverted!
- Dangerous, too!
- I spoke to her about that.
And they're teenagers. They're curious.
I take her word for it if she says
she's not involved in it.
That's very helpful
My client's here. I have to go.
We'll talk later, okay?
Do they like that?
They sure do.
If you were a fish, you'd like it, too.
Look, it's still moving.
You see his tail, little guy?
- Yeah.
- Cool, huh?
We have a natural, I'm telling you.
Okay, Noah, come.
Let's see how many crabs you've caught.
You wanted to talk?
I need some, uh, documents
from East Bank station.
Old paper maps with hydrants on them.
For what?
I want to compare them
to the computer database.
Those maps must still be at the station.
I used to keep them there back in the day.
Are you investigating the gas explosion?
With the hydrants that weren't working?
Why don't you just ask Dominique, man?
They don't want me to get involved.
But I can't help it.
Well, yeah, Pat. Obviously.
Hey, we're keeping this between us.
Just grab the copies
and save us a lot of trouble.
It's like
I'll see what I can do, old man.
Atta boy.
Kiss?
I want a kiss from Momma.
But Momma's not here.
Will you settle for a kiss from me? Yeah?
I love you.
Do you want Daddy to read you a story?
You know what?
Daddy will read you a story
about the fire station.
You like those, yeah?
Which one should I read?
The basic principles
of the fire department.
- You're tired, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
"Group the functionally similar items."
"Group the fast moving items."
"Group the physically movable items."
Nina!
Nina!
Open up the door!
Nina!
Nina, open the door! Just open the door!
Nina! Oh, finally,
for fuck's sake!
Steve, shh. My neighbors.
- What do you want?
- Open the door for me. Open the door!
- Steve!
- I'm sorry, I know. I'm sorry.
I swear I love you so much!
I want to apologize,
but you won't open up, man!
- Steve, just leave.
- The door!
But, Steve, we're through!
Don't you understand?
What?
Nina, you're a fucking bitch,
you know! You're a bitch!
You goddamn bitch!
I want Ostend to hear it.
Nina Gonzales is a bitch!
Do you hear me? Do you all hear me?
What are you looking at? What the fuck?
Just keep walking!
Morning.
Hello.
You all right?
Yeah.
I'm fine.
Uh, Lieutenant?
Um
If something's wrong
and you'd like to talk, I'm here.
I just wanted to tell you that.
Everybody calls me "the mama."
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Sergeant, any progress?
Huh?
What?
With the test. Any progress?
Yeah. It's all good.
That's good.
Oh! You came back.
Did you have errands to do?
Or did you just take a day off?
Nina, just leave me alone.
Social distancing, remember?
Damn it.
Hey. Easy, dude, with that.
Did it insult your mom or what?
Vince, how old are you, 12?
Are you really making mom jokes? Huh?
- Are you eating an egg?
- Yeah.
Nothing else?
No. Why?
You're so weird.
Good Lord.
- Damn it.
- Any luck?
Yeah, can't you see, Vincent? Thank you.
- You need copies, Orlando?
- Yeah.
The green button. Use the green button.
Thanks.
What's that?
Yeah, those are, uh, old maps.
- Studying materials.
- Huh?
The assistant exam.
Oh, really?
I'm going to do it and I want to do well.
But I don't want
the others to know because
You get it, right?
Yeah, I understand.
They'll think you plan to replace Steve
in the assistant position.
I thought about it, too.
What do you mean?
I'm a sergeant too, right?
I had a talk with the new lieutenant.
She thought it'd be good idea
if I applied for the test.
- The assistant exam?
- Mm-hmm.
But, Vince, the assistant
has to be a person who the others follow.
You feel like a big leader just because
you recently smashed some guy in the head?
I don't know, but I can try.
You can do whatever you want, man.
Of course.
Yeah, I guess I can.
- Yeah.
- You know what?
You and I.
We're both doing the test,
and may the best man be the new assistant.
What do you say?
Sounds good. Let's do it.
May the best man win.
May the best man win.
I'm already cheering for you.
Promise you'll try.
Yeah.
Assistant Vincent.
- Who knows?
- I can see it now.
First ambulance requested.
They're refusing
to tell us what happened,
but according to the call, someone's hurt.
Third street, at the trailer park.
It's the one in the back.
Copy that.
We're approaching the scene. Over.
- Tom, about what happened
- Please don't. It's okay. Forget it.
Please let me do my job, okay? That's it.
The trailer over there.
First response.
Hello?
Hey
Sir? Ma'am? First response.
Good day. What happened here?
Huh? Nothing. Nothing's happened.
- Uh, didn't you call for an ambulance?
- No. No, no.
We didn't do it, no.
Did you call Emergencies, honey?
I didn't have a choice, did I?
- My dear, that wasn't necessary.
- It was necessary!
- It's not.
- Just to be clear. Everything's okay?
Nothing's happened. It's all okay, yeah.
Okay, we're leaving then.
- Have a good day.
- Yeah, bye.
Hey, what the fuck was that?
- Guy's got a knife in his stomach.
- We have to call in the police, man.
NC-112
Oh, fuck!
Sir?
- Fuck.
- For God's sake!
It was an accident.
- NC-112
- Don't!
Whoa, ma'am, put that knife down!
Ma'am, put that away.
Please. She just got back
from the mental institution.
Don't call the police. I beg you.
We're fine now. I swear.
Keep pressure on it.
I'm not calling the cops, but he needs
a doctor or he'll bleed to death.
You don't want that, got it?
It's fair. Hospital and no cops, okay?
NC-112
Drop it!
Tom, you all right?
Yeah, I think so.
- Hey, what are you doing? Please, my love!
- Please, sir. Stay still.
It's important to keep pressure on it.
Stay still.
NC-112 to East Bank station.
Can we get
police reinforcements here? Over.
- Oh, God, what the fuck!
- Keep pressure on it.
That's important for the the wound, sir.
Jesus Christ,
what the hell was that?
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'm such an idiot.
I shouldn't have treated you like that.
It was unnecessary.
Actually, you're nice.
You'll have to take your T-shirt off.
I'll put some bandages on the wound.
Uh, Tom. I won't bite.
Take that shirt off.
I had a car accident.
It was painful, but
I'm okay now.
Hold this.
Those scars, if you look closely,
look like
like Scandinavia, you know. Yeah.
Or two dwarfs, someone said.
- With some imagination.
- Oh, please. Come on.
Okay.
You can put your T-shirt on now.
By the way, uh,
if you're up for it, we can
- we can go for a drink tonight?
- Yeah, sounds good.
I mean with the rest.
Yeah, but you should know
What?
I don't drink alcohol, so
Okay. Sure.
What are you looking for?
Look here.
- These maps are a perfect fit.
- Mm-hmm.
But still
And this here?
What is this?
- A new hobby?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Jesus, man.
- What?
- No, nothing.
You just don't look like
a firefighter type.
Ooh. Firefighters have a type?
The firefighter type
That does exist, yeah.
That's a firefighter type.
Okay, that's an excellent example.
And what type of guy am I supposed to be
if not the firefighter type, huh?
Um, the
- Tommy boy.
- No, he's not.
- Oh, yeah.
- Huh, what?
- Jesus.
- I haven't seen you in years!
Yeah.
Two years or something like that, I guess?
I'm Nina, hi.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Sorry, where are my manners?
- That's Simeon and that's Grégoir.
- Enchanté.
They're brothers.
Good friends from way back.
And you guys are
- We are colleagues. Yeah, at the station.
- Oh, okay.
Tommy has a real job now?
- That's true! He's a firefighter now.
- Yeah!
Did you expect that?
I was shocked beyond belief
when your mom said you were working as
a firefighter in Ostend. Seriously, fuck.
Yeah, it's true. I'm, uh
So you guys call my mom, right?
Yeah, your mom is worried.
Give her a call sometime.
Apparently you never answer your phone?
Uh, what brings you guys to Ostend?
Just a random visit, or do you have plans?
- Holidays.
- Holidays, yeah. Uh, fresh air, you know.
That sea is nice, you know?
Hey, Tommy, it's great
to see you again, man.
We have to celebrate.
Hey, two rum and soda,
vodka for Tommy, and
Hey, boys, you're super kind,
but I'm sorry,
I stopped drinking. I'm having a cola.
Oh. Okay, but we have something else, too.
It's not a drink. You in?
No, thanks.
Hey, you have changed, man.
Can't you take a joke anymore?
I'm pulling your leg, man.
Pretty funny, Grégoir.
Hey, Tom. What's going on?
Aren't we welcome anymore?
Sorry. Of course you two are welcome.
You can sit with us, but I quit drinking.
No, no, it's cool. Come, Sim.
We have no need to stay here.
Apparently we're not good enough
for Tom. Let's go.
Hey, boys. Hey. Boys, don't.
Seriously. That's not what I meant.
Come, sit. Simeon.
Oh, wow.
Who were they?
Hey, Tom? You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry.
- Uh Jesus Christ
I have no idea why they came here.
They're both my friends, uh
Uh
I've barely seen them
in the past, uh, years.
Hence the soda.
Yeah, sort of.
And why do they call your mom?
I don't see my mom. Or my dad.
Do you mind explaining?
Jesus.
You want to know everything, huh, Nina?
Are we having another interview
or something?
I don't have to know everything,
but now that I've seen those two guys,
I'm wondering
why you became a firefighter.
You could just be a doctor
and earn way more.
So if my parents are rich,
I can't be a good firefighter?
Yeah.
That's what it is.
A Daddy's boy. Is that it?
And, yeah,
it does explain a lot, actually.
The wit, the bad friends dropping by,
and, uh
that arrogant smile.
An arrogant smile? Are you
Jesus Christ.
- Yeah, seriously.
- Don't
- Okay.
- Sometimes.
I
I'm done with my past and I
and I don't want anything to do with that.
I just don't want to see my parents.
I'm just on my own.
Sorry, hey,
enough talk about me, right? Uh
Who's Nina?
Who's hiding behind
that serious firewoman?
- What do you care?
- Okay.
I have to tell you everything.
Doesn't seem fair
that you won't tell me something.
Why did you join the fire brigade?
Because I'm on my own, too.
Okay.
Well, okay, do you really want to know?
Yeah, yeah.
Um, I grew up in an orphanage.
I went from orphanage to orphanage,
until I was finally adopted.
And it didn't work out, so, um, yeah.
It's basically a cliché.
Shit. Sorry.
I don't have parents,
but I do have family.
It's just I got the opportunity to choose
my family instead of being born with one.
- Hey!
- Oh!
Uh, they're my family.
They are batshit crazy, but it's like
real, and I know I can trust them always.
All right, so basically we're, uh,
part family, then?
If you behave, I may convince them
to think about adopting you.
- Adopt?
- But we'll see about that.
Okay. I'll be a good kid
and I'll prove my worth.
You know, order another round of soda.
But make sure you get shots this time.
You know, that's some heavy shit there.
Bartender, give me two shots of soda.
Straight up, if possible.
Let's do it.
What are you drinking?
- Soda.
- In shots.
What the fuck?
We're not doing this. Gio!
- That's fucked up.
- See you, guys.
- Carry me in your arms.
- Prost.
Check this out.
That's strong.
- Another one?
- Another one.
Stop that!
I have great moves, right?
NEXT TIME
Hello, Tommy.
The training comes with a date?
A hiker saw a body drifting out there.
This is my territory.
I'm handling this.
