Station 19 (2018) s02e06 Episode Script

Last Day on Earth

1 Previously on "Station 19" If my dad's back, he's up to something.
I need someone that I can trust to tell me if I should trust him.
You want me to sit down with your dad with you? Do you want to yell at me? Go ahead.
But don't kick Bishop around.
I used to get night terrors.
Move in.
Did Ripley just wave at you? Yeah.
So? I need a break from our marriage.
I guess I'll just go.
Fire is necessary.
Even though it might seem random, or instantaneous, or Oh! Ah! impossible to control Even if it's our last day on Earth - Do you love me? - I do.
I thought I lost you.
You call me.
You are breaking my heart.
and everything all around us is burning to the ground.
Fire has purpose.
Fire knows what it's doing.
And once it's started to spread there's not actually much you can do to stop it.
Ohh.
Aaaah! I think I might be dying.
Do we need a med kit, or is this a hangover situation? I woke up early again, so I went running, thinking I could burn off some energy, except I still have all the energy, but now my legs are dead.
I know why I'm here so early, but why are you? Um So, uh, what, uh what sort of stretches did you do before your run? Right.
Stretching.
Oh, wow.
Okay, that That's not a stretch.
Th Oh.
No? - Ohh! - Ready? Oh, yeah, one One sugar, no cream, piping hot.
You remember my order.
Some things, Ryan Tanner, are embedded for life.
Thanks again for tagging along to this.
He's late, of course.
I can stay a little longer before my shift starts.
It's not like I'm in a hurry to go in, anyway.
You think Sullivan's still mad? I called him out.
Loudly.
In front of the entire station.
And the Police Department.
Yeah, he's gonna be pissed.
45 minutes late already.
Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had a real conversation with my dad.
I feel like I'm always being played.
This was probably a bad idea.
I hate seeing you like this.
So, how long do you want to wait today? I don't.
I know better.
Let's go.
Getting that alone time in? Uh yeah.
Yep, I miss my alone time don't get me wrong, Jack is Jack, but I need my solitude.
Be alone with my thoughts.
I don't even really like hugs.
- Personal space, ya know? - Yeah.
Hey, can we move the coffee table at home? Warren taught me some stretches I wanna try out on the floor there - What are we talking about? - Personal space and a lack of it.
Ah, Grant and I have been spending a lot of time together, and let me just tell you, in my opinion, personal space highly overrated.
Okay.
Rewind.
What? Back it up and come back in again 'cause I'm pretty sure I just spotted some swagger.
- Is that what I'm seeing? - No.
- Do you have the swagger this morning? - No.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
- No swagger.
Nope.
- Oh.
You're probably picking it up from me.
I'm super swagger-y.
- No, I don't think so.
- No, really.
I'm basically swaggering all over the place lately, so Is it still swagger if you have to point it out? Okay, you know what? Everybody, listen up.
This is swagger-central right here.
This is ground zero of swagger.
- I say Travis - Hey, you're quiet.
You okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm just, uh I'm just tired you know, from, uh, my run this morning.
That's all.
No, ah, ah.
Well, I just invented it.
You seen Sullivan yet? No.
He hasn't come out of his office.
Well, whatever happens, I've got your back.
Don't have it too much.
There's no reason the both of us should get in trouble I yelled at a commanding officer.
I will accept my fallout, and I mean, did you see the look on his face when I lost it? This is gonna be bad, Maya, especially bad.
Okay, this is the part where you're supposed to say encouraging things like, "You know, it wasn't that bad, he's probably forgotten about it by now, it'll all be fine.
" - So you want me to lie.
- No! Don't lie.
Just help me feel better.
Well, if you do get fired, the good news is, is that we live together now, so we'll still get to see each other every day.
You're terrible at this.
We're on Aid Car together today.
Maybe we will get pulled into so many calls that Sullivan won't have time to punish you.
Right, fingers crossed a lot of people get hurt and need our help today.
Well, that's disturbing, but I totally support it.
19! Line up! Now! You think Sullivan's gonna say something? To Herrera? I'm less worried about what he'll say than what he'll do.
She was right.
He should know that.
The worst is when he schools you while staring right at you.
His eyes can see into your soul.
You guys know I can hear you, right? I'm standing right here.
Warren.
You sure you're okay to work today? Yes, sir.
You don't need a break? After moonlighting and working back-to-back double shifts? You've been working with B shift? Yo, those guys are weird.
They eat breakfast for dinner.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I'm fine, sir.
I stayed home for a shift.
I wanted to make up for it.
All right.
Today's a beautiful day to make the station spotless.
If you're not on a call, you're cleaning.
Starting with the bunks.
Then the vehicles.
Everything.
Dismissed.
Looks like you live to see another day.
Herrera, I'd like to speak with you privately in my office.
Close the door behind you, please.
We need to talk about what happened at the end of our last shift.
Aid Car 19.
Medical response requested at 77 Moore Avenue.
That's, uh - I'm on Aid Car today - Yeah.
Let's finish this conversation when you get back.
Damn, these steps are filthy.
You never really realize, but look at that gunk.
Maybe I should stop eating food after I drop it - on the floor, huh? - Oh, Gibson.
Actually, I need your advice.
Your perspective on something.
Well, you're in luck because I dispense excellent advice.
People underestimate that about me.
Shoot.
Okay, well, hypothetically speaking.
If someone were to have an adult sleepover with you.
Oh This kind of advice.
Okay.
Yeah, and then, the next morning while you're in the shower, that someone snuck out Okay, so you don't like the guy very much.
No, I didn't say this was me.
This is hypothetical.
Okay, then it sounds like Mr.
Hypothetical got out of the shower and assumed - you don't like him very much.
- No, I d It's not that.
I I don't know if I like him or not.
I was I haven't even thought about that, actually.
I was just thinking about not being late for work, and how anything with him gets a little complicated, and as good as that adult sleepover w No.
Okay.
Anyway, I-I don't know.
I told you the situation.
Now it's your turn.
What's the next move, Advice Machine? - Dispense.
- Sneaking out is what you do - when you flee the scene of a crime.
- Mm-hmm.
You can't run forever.
Eventually, you'll have to talk to the guy.
- Right.
- So, who is it? Still that guy from 23 or someone else? I'm done with your advice now.
One of the cops from last shift? Which one? - Was it Vintage Mustache Guy? - Clean the floors.
Now.
Nice.
Like right off the showroom floor.
Are there showrooms for fire trucks? There should be for this one.
Guys, you should've seen this call Aid Car.
Not that exciting.
Oh, yeah? We roll in, thinking it's just a medical call.
Injured kid.
Instead, injured kid runs into a building with a gas leak, hide and seek, find the kid, open flame, - kaboom! - Next thing ya know, - we're sledgehammering through a wall - - kid over our shoulder - God, that was fun! Oh, man, sounds like it.
Can you lean somewhere else? - Yeah, come on.
Off, off.
- Oh.
You're Pig-Pen-ing all over the hard work we just did.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- Hmm.
- Oh.
- You mean this hard work? - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no, no.
- Shower.
Go.
Now.
- No.
What's my dad doing here? I didn't realize you were visiting today - Sullivan called me in.
- Oh.
He did? Why? Ah, with Sullivan, who knows? Could be the end of the road for me at Station 19.
No way.
No way! Herrera? - Sir? - Yes? - You're back.
- Just.
We're gonna have to talk later.
Come on in.
I could use a little help.
I'm sorry.
I'm usually, uh, more steady on my feet.
Hey, is Captain Herrera here? He used to help me out a little bit.
Mr.
Tanner, it's me.
Andrea.
- You're bleeding.
- Hi.
- Uh, what what happened to you? - Andy? Pruitt's kid? Wow.
Yeah, it really is you.
Full uniform and everything.
I mean I have to do an exam.
How'd you get injured? Oh, I bet you're mad about this morning.
I'll bet Ryan's even more mad I swear, I wanted to be there I was on my way when You need help with this walk-in? Oh, hey.
I'm Greg Tanner.
Hang on Tanner, as in Ryan? Superficial laceration on his face.
Pulse is 105.
Do me a favor check him out for a concussion.
- I'll be right back.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, Ry.
It's me.
I found your dad.
Ah I really had every intention of meeting you and Ryan this morning.
Moderate bruising.
- Seems like a standard sprain.
- Ohh.
- Is your abdomen tender when I press? - Yeah! I-It doesn't feel great.
But I mean it, Andy.
I was really looking forward to sitting with both of you.
Vitals are stable.
Okay.
Just got in the middle of a little trouble, that's all.
My phone took the worst of it.
I couldn't even make a call.
We need to examine the source of your bleeding.
Take you to the nearest hospital.
Ah, no, I don't need some ambulance ride just for a couple little scratches.
You're bleeding through your shirt.
- Hmm.
- It's not a scratch.
Oh, just patch me up.
I'm fine.
That's what your dad used to always do.
Also, a head CT wouldn't hurt.
Uh Yeah, is Ryan coming here? When you talked to him, did he say he was coming by? We can't treat you properly if you won't allow me to do an exam.
Let's just take him in.
They can assess him there.
No! No hospitals.
So, you're declining our professional recommendation and refusing to go to the hospital? Maybe you should tell Ryan not to come.
I don't want him to see me like this.
You know what? Just sign this.
It's a waiver saying if you die from internal bleeding or a concussion, it's your own fault.
Ladder 19, respond domestic aid requested at 414 Cedar Avenue.
Is that you? 'Cause I can just hang tight if you need to Not me.
I'm on Aid Car today.
Sign, please.
I'll, uh, come right out with it.
Chief Ripley asked that I see you.
For advice.
Apparently he thinks you'd give me some insight into how to better connect more with the team.
Well, of course I'm happy to give you pointers on how to earn the team's trust.
Fantastic.
Have a seat.
Mealtimes are an excellent way to bond with the group.
What else you got? O-Okay.
Well, then, maybe you want to try taking more of an interest in the team.
Ask them about their lives, about anything that doesn't have to do with work.
You know, treat them like you'd treat a friend.
But, if I'm being honest there's always one person on the team that's the glue.
You figure out who that person is, you get them on your side, the others will follow.
She's in there.
Hey, hi! I'm stuck in the garbage disposal.
Ah, good news is my hand was only in there for a second before I turned it off, so, hopefully, it's not too mangled, but it's definitely a little mangled.
And, yeah, it really hurts.
I-I talk a lot when I'm nervous.
You talk a lot all the time.
All right, we'll get you out of here as quickly as we can.
How long ago did it happen? Mm, uh, m-maybe 10 minutes? I-I don't know.
I swear I'm normally a very put-together person.
- And what's your name, ma'am? - I lied.
I am not a put-together person.
I'm just trying to stay calm here.
I'm I'm Hannah, is the answer to your question.
- That's my name.
- I'm Travis.
First things first - I'm gonna unplug this disposal - Ohh.
so we don't have any more accidents.
Then I'm gonna disassemble it from underneath.
It's the fastest, safest way to get you out, okay? Is it Is that gonna move my arm around, too? I'm just scared if it moves more, then the blade will move more, and then my hand Don't you worry, ma'am, all right? He's done this lots of times.
H-Have you? Have you done this lots of times? Well, actually, no.
Uh, this is my first time dislodging a limb from a disposal on-site, but I have repaired lots of hands and other body parts that have gotten stuck in stuff like this.
You lucked out.
Warren here is a surgeon.
Because you think that I'm gonna have to have my fingers sewn back on? No, I-I-I don't think that's what he meant.
H-Hopefully I can be helpful in making sure that you keep all your fingers.
I-I was I was washing the dishes, and the the disposal was on, and I knocked my wedding ring down there.
It was just instinct I grabbed for it.
My mind was somewhere else.
I I can't believe how dumb it was.
I can.
Well, hang in there, okay? We're, uh - We're gonna do our best.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
All right, thanks for the Steri-Strips and everything - but I-I think I should get going - The lengths you'll go to for sympathy.
It's really something.
Or aah I'll stay.
You get beat up and you wind up here, bothering Andy at work? Well, I was looking for her dad, if that makes it any better.
How are his injuries? I'd prefer if he'd get them checked out at the hospital.
But he's refusing, because hospitals ask "one too many questions," right, Greg? Look, I tried to do the right thing.
I was in Westlake Center, and I hear a commotion these two guys are hassling this young kid.
I told them to beat it, and before you know it, they they jump me.
But the kid got away, though, so You give the cops a statement? Oh, no, I didn't really stick around all that long ya know, I don't always get along with cops.
I'm a cop.
The universe has quite the sense of humor.
What really happened? Who do you owe money to? You don't believe me.
You know what, Ryan? I'm I'm really sorry.
I mean it about this morning.
I didn't want to stand you up today.
I'll make it up to you You're so good at this part.
The apologizing part.
Because you probably always have something to apologize for.
Tanner? Hey! Neighbor! I was looking for one of those Pruitt Herrera Patch Up Jobs, like the old days.
I got your protégée instead.
How about these guys? How big did they get, huh? You still have my lawn mower? The one you borrowed? What, like three years ago? Uh, yeah.
I-I do.
That's That's definitely in our garage somewhere.
It's not.
Wanted to let you know that Sullivan's free now.
Did you need to see him? Yes.
I guess I should Aid Car 19, hiker in distress Hey, hey.
Aid Car.
- This one's yours.
- Yes, it is! - That's okay, I'll take over.
- Thank you.
All right, this is for the pain.
It should kick in pretty quick.
Okay.
Bleeding's not that bad.
From what I can see, your fingers are pinched between the blades, so we can't just pull them out.
But once we dismantle the device You still have sensation in them, right? I-I feel some slimy potato skins down there, so, yes.
All right, I got the first disposal basin out.
Okay, what is that?! There's something in here.
I think it might be her be her Carrot! Not a finger.
Never mind, we're good.
It's just a carrot.
Mom, since there are a bunch of firefighters here doing stuff, I'm gonna go out, okay? Would it kill you to stop with the attitude until my hand's not stuck in the sink? It might.
What is Parker Sylvana Sherwood, what is that on your arm? Is that a tattoo? Let me see it.
Right now.
It says "Billy.
" In italics.
Not a skull? Not a mermaid? Not a picture of a puppy, or or a a flower, or a motorcycle, or anything better than a boy's name? I mean, you realize that's gonna live on you forever.
Why not pick something you're interested in? I'm interested in Billy.
All you had to do was wait until your 18th birthday, and I would happily take you to a tattoo parlor that's well-reviewed online Oh! Not funny! It was kinda funny.
She's been like this ever since my wife got deployed again.
We never used to fight.
Now that's all we do.
You don't realize how much you need your other half until they aren't around anymore.
You know? Could I ask one of you to go make sure that my daughter's cry for help isn't infected and slowly killing her with poison ink or something? Right.
Parker! Let's take a look at Billy.
This is the spot.
Where's our vic? Dispatch, this is Aid Car 19.
We're on that downed hiker call.
We can't seem to locate him.
Any chance you still have him on the line? If you could send him to our comms.
Copy, patching through now.
Hello? This is Clark.
Please hurry.
Clark, this is Lieutenant Herrera with the Seattle Fire Department.
Can you describe your surroundings, help us find you? Yeah.
I'm in a a park-type area.
There's a lot of bushes and trees.
Can you be any more specific? Tall, green trees? Near a path.
I-I'm not on the path.
I fell off it.
I-I fell off my rope, and I kinda fell into a tree.
Sir, I'm getting some interference on the line.
- Is that music? - Yeah.
I get so nervous out here alone, I I had a playlist my son made for me.
I-I thought I could just listen.
Hold on, I-I-I'll turn it down.
Actually, can you turn it up? Clark, can you make it any louder? That's as loud as it goes.
I'm just so glad I have reception.
I didn't have it when I fell.
I had to drag myself a ways.
It keeps going in and out.
There.
Clark, are you bleeding? Oh, yeah.
It's a trail of blood.
Please hurry! Okay.
First things first, we have to stop that bleeding, make sure he didn't puncture a major artery.
We're gonna have to tourniquet.
But let's assess medical first be clear on what it is we're dealing with.
We're gonna get your bleeding under control, okay? - Am I gonna die? - It's a through-and-through.
If we're lucky, the branch may actually be slowing some of the blood loss.
Well, that's that's that's that's good, I-I guess? But you still didn't answer my question.
Nobody's died on our watch yet today, Clark.
Not planning to end that streak now.
- Okay, s-sure, that's reassuring.
- Yeah.
How long ago did this happen? Were you hiking with anyone else? No, it's just me.
Probably not the best idea.
I'm new to climbing.
And I fell and it took me forever to even reach my phone and longer to even get a signal.
I thought, "I just have to get out of here," you know? And I called 911, then I thought maybe I should call my son, too, and let him know what happened.
But he's taking his SATs today, and he's studied for months for them.
He's such a sweet kid.
He gets so nervous, you know, around tests.
He was feeling so good this morning.
I didn't want to worry him.
The bleeding's not slowing, even with the tourniquet.
We need to get him out of here as soon as possible.
Dispatch, this is 19.
19, say again.
You're breaking up.
Dispatch, do you copy? - I gotta get higher for a signal.
- We need to Air Vac him out of here ASAP.
Dispatch, this is 19.
Do you copy? I repeat, this is Aid 19.
He's bleeding too fast.
We can't just sit here and wait for a signal.
All right.
Then let's winch him out.
You're just gonna carry me and this branch stuck in my leg up that cliff? - For sure.
- Yeah.
Let's just get you out of here, okay? Ready? Ow.
Can you not do that? It hurts.
Warm to the touch, so it could be infected.
You're gonna need some antibiotic ointment.
So your mom's in the Army? Yep.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, except I never get to see her because she's always gone, and, instead, I'm stuck with my other mom.
Look, parents can be tough.
And at the risk of sounding like a totally uncool adult person right now, at least she cares enough to try.
That's not nothing, yeah? So, Pruitt, when do you aah start back up? Well, that's not entirely up to me.
New captain has to approve.
Oh, I see.
When I was a kid, there was this expensive pair of sneakers.
Couldn't afford them, so I could either get a job and pay for them, or go for the five-finger discount.
- You get what I'm saying? - No.
Because you're trying to impart some kind of wisdom about shoplifting Past the statute of limitations, I might add.
Point being, there may be more than one way to get what you want.
If you're not getting the job done in an official capacity, there must be other ways.
Just thinking.
You're always looking for other ways, that's for sure.
Other ways to make some easy cash, or to bend the law, or to work your way back into my life, like showing up injured, here, of all places, so people have to feel bad for you, so it's on your terms and not mine.
I'm a little tired of you accusing me of something I didn't do.
Need to take your temp.
Mouth closed till I get back.
Tanner, help me get some ice.
You know what's annoying? We just scaled a mountain carrying a grown man and a tree and those medevac guys are the ones who will get all the glory, landing on some hospital roof, handing Clark off to some surgical team.
W-W-What did they do? Fly around in a helicopter all day? We scaled the mountain.
Exactly.
We scaled a freaking mountain with a man and a tree.
- Yeah.
- Today is fun.
Even if it is basically my last day on Earth.
Or, at least, in this Aid Car.
Don't be dramatic.
You don't actually think Sullivan's gonna fire you over some yelling? You have done way worse than yelling before But let's get back.
I know.
Let's just get it over with.
Okay, I know washing windows isn't the most exciting thing, but isn't my sparkling conversation enough to keep you awake? I just didn't sleep great.
Up early.
No big thing.
Okay.
At least, I hope it's no big thing.
It used to happen when I was a kid sometimes couldn't sleep but it's been years.
- Well, years of no insomnia sounds nice.
- Yeah.
I had to stop drinking coffee after 3:00 p.
m.
, so How's it going? With, uh, you two? Well, we just finished the main stairs and the landing, sir.
About halfway done with the windows.
No, I-I meant, uh life.
Uh, how's it going? I don't I don't know how to answer that.
Yeah, what do you mean, sir? Got a couple of off days coming up.
How do you like to spend your spare time? Got any hobbies, plans? Significant others? Uh, absolutely not.
Nope, nope.
No.
Nope, none of those things.
You? Well, when, uh, I get an off day, I like to make, uh homemade smoothies.
That's informative, sir.
- Sounds delicious.
- Yeah.
- Engine 19 - That's us.
respond to a reported structure fire.
Great.
Well, we'll get to chat more on the road.
535 Nelson Street.
How much longer? Because I um, I can't really feel my fingers anymore Ow! Sorry.
I guess you can feel that.
Maybe I should just I-I don't know, maybe I should just yank it out really fast, get it over with.
- No, no, no, no! - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- No, no.
- It's okay, all right? We're almost there.
You got this.
I-I don't think I do, actually.
Val always tells me I'm the strong one, but I just I just hold it together pretty well, you know? Most of the time, I just brush things off.
You know, Parker talks to me like I'm evil incarnate, and I just brush it all off.
I know she just misses her mom.
Me too.
I miss Val every day.
I'm not that strong.
Not really.
I'm so scared that Val might not come home.
I'm so scared that I might be screwing Parker up.
It's a mess.
Everything's a mess.
And I'm so scared that my hand might literally be falling off my arm right now.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Look at me.
Your hand is not falling off, okay? And I And I know how things can get overwhelming.
You know, s-sometimes it's hard to brush it all off, I know.
I w I was doing it this morning.
Been doing it for days now, actually.
I get up before dawn and start jogging for hours.
I-I-I don't even know how many miles.
My feet are literally covered in blisters.
They're probably more mangled than your hand right now.
I mean, I just run.
And I run, and Look, I know how it feels when things are falling apart.
But I also know that you are strong.
I'm not.
I'm not.
Are you kidding me? Look, my folks, they would not have handled Billy so well under any circumstances, let alone with one arm stuck in a disposal.
I dislodged the last of the blades.
I think we're ready.
All right, so let's, uh, - let's get you out, huh? - Okay.
- On three.
- - 1, 2 - You got this.
3! There we go.
Oh, uh, hey.
Have you seen Ryan? He and your dad stepped out, but, uh, my ankle's really throbbing.
I was hoping one of them would give me a ride.
Mm-hmm.
You know Ryan wants my opinion of you.
So he can figure out if he's willing to let you back into his life.
Problem is, I-I made up my mind about you years ago.
Hm, that's unfortunate.
You're not a parent.
Biology would disagree.
I've seen two parents today who would gladly lie in traffic to protect their kids, but you I appreciate that you're protective of my boy, but this is really between him and me.
You're the guy who shows up, overstays his welcome, and and leaves everyone worse than before.
Oh.
Well, that I think I deserve, but And this morning was more of the same Ryan staring at his watch, hoping you might keep your word and simply show up.
Now you're on a roll.
Why don't you just keep going? - What do you got? - I mean, do you know how bad that that screws you up? Not being able to depend on the one person in the world who's supposed to protect you? Yeah, yeah, o-okay, so I'm not perfect, okay? I know that.
See, now, so, you're grown up, but you're not really that grown up.
You're really you're looking at this like a kid.
That makes Ryan push everyone away - You have no perspective, no clue - I mean, I should know.
He does it to me.
He's always done it to me He's my kid! I may not be the best dad, but he's my kid.
Yeah, but you broke his trust! His ability to trust.
Th-Th-That's not stuff you just shake off.
I-It's baggage that he brings with him every day, - into every relationship.
- You don't think I know that? You don't think I regret that every day? Then what are you doing about it? What have you ever done about it? That's what you think? Ryan, I Aid Car 19, civilian in distress at 5289 South Delancey Street.
I'm sorry about that.
Call's over.
No biggie.
Figured you could use the rest.
H-How long was it going off? What are you talking about? Uh, my my pass device.
Yeah, nothing went off.
I thought Never mind.
- How's this feel? Better? - Yeah.
All right, Billy's a little red, but we covered him in some antibacterial cream.
- How's your hand? - Super gross.
Really hurts.
But, uh, it'll be okay.
I'm really sorry about the tattoo, Mom.
Oh, baby.
Not as sorry as you're gonna be a year from now.
If you touch me with that pureed crab claw, I'm out of here.
Oh, I have some, uh, blister Band-Aids right behind you in my medicine cabinet, if you need some.
It's really okay.
We have those at the station.
Uh, you should follow up at a hospital in the next couple of days.
Thank you.
You should take care of those feet, and good luck with, uh, all the running.
Um thank you.
I'm not one of your cons.
Cut the crap.
I know there's a reason.
Why now? I don't like being away from you.
Um, family's important to me.
Try again.
Well, I'm not gonna be around forever.
I'm starting to feel my mortality, Ryan You keep forgetting, I've heard all your lines.
Try again.
It's my last chance, Ry.
I got to go away.
Or th-they're gonna send me away once they figure it out, track me down it's just a matter of time.
What are you talking about? I Well, I Well, I got in a little trouble in Florida.
There was a bust.
I got away, but, uh, I know I'm living on borrowed time, and now - Hang on, are you - Did you just confess a crime to me? Actually, I intentionally used vague and non-specific language, but So you spend your "borrowed time" at illegal poker games.
I-I've spent that time trying to make things right.
By your mom, by you.
I just want to come see you in person.
I want to I want to look you in the eye and tell you I'm proud of you, son.
I just wanted to show up.
For once.
While I still could.
I'll see myself out.
Tanner speaking.
That 040 you asked about, at Westlake division? Report was officially filed 10 minutes ago.
There was civilian intervention.
Do you have a description of the civilian? White male, mid-50s, 5'10", silver hair.
That call had an alarming number of stairs.
So many stairs.
And how convenient.
Oh, my God.
Maya, jump bag.
On it! Mr.
Tanner? Can you Can you hear me? - Pulse is thready! - Dad? Andy! What happened? I was just talking to him I don't know.
I just found him.
Okay, we need to start a large bore IV and get him on a cardiac monitor, stat! Airway's clear.
Low resps.
- Weak radial pulse.
- Not rigid.
That means no internal bleeding.
That's good.
What's wrong with him? My guess is he has a cardiac bruise from being hit in the chest.
Heart tones are muffled.
He's in V-tach.
Gotta make sure fluid's not building up.
Pushing adenosine.
- Ryan? - Dad.
I'm right here.
So, you've been running an unhealthy amount.
And working an unhealthy amount.
Work wife to work wife.
You got anything you need to talk about? Miranda asked me to leave.
She and I, we're we're not together right now.
Uh, d-doesn't mean we won't be back together again in the future, but, right now, she's, uh she's taking time to, uh to work through some things.
I mean, she needs this for for her health.
Um.
So I need to give this to her for her, um It's maybe not helping me out so much though.
So, the more you run the less you think about it? I thought it would work that way.
And you haven't gone home yet? You've just been sleeping at the station? No home to go to right now.
Come here.
Come here.
Gonna turn in early? Catch up on some of that sleep? Yeah.
I'll try that.
Are you gonna call "Mr.
Hypothetical"? I don't know.
I I was.
I mean, I might.
I will, but So you do care what happens with this guy? No.
I snuck out, remember? You said that means I don't.
But I might.
Care some.
A little.
But it's so early.
None of this makes any sense, and it'd be so much easier if it were just Just a one-and-done, ya know? Decision time? No.
It can't can't be decision time, 'cause I haven't decided yet.
Your, uh mystery guy's going to voicemail.
Hello? I think I really stepped in it with Ryan today.
- You just brought his dad back to life.
- At least we had a good day.
Filled with good calls.
Lots of saves.
Yes.
If it was your last day, at least it was a good one.
I still have to talk to Sullivan.
Maybe he's forgotten he wants to talk to me.
- Mm.
- Assuming he remembers If you do leave, can I have your locker? What? It's perfectly positioned between the washing machine and the bathroom.
I'll treat it with love, it'll have an Olympic Gold medal in it so I think you should - Hey.
- Why are you so happy? Oh, no reason.
Why are you so sad? Oh, Sullivan.
Right.
By the way, he's being super weird today, so Great.
Good to know.
Herrera.
Are you ready to talk? So, what would you do with your last day on Earth? Would you speak your mind? - I'm ready, sir, for our talk.
- Me too.
I know you might think I've been avoiding this.
I haven't.
I've been out on calls.
Out doing a job that I love, by the way.
I Today, I got to bust through a wall to save a little girl.
I hiked down a mountain to save a victim, then climbed back up it again with him and his tree.
I made a difference.
I even brought a totally random walk-in back to life.
A-And my point is, I want to keep doing all these things every day.
I know I was out of line when I yelled at you and I'm sure you have an idea of how you'd like to handle that, but being here, doing this it is everything to me.
So, do what you need to do.
I just want to let you know I won't go down without a fight.
Sir.
I thought about it you know, reprimanding you.
Maybe even strip the single bar from your collar.
But that would be unfair.
I was out of line, too.
I'm tough, but I try not to be unfair or unjust.
I have high expectations for my crew and for myself.
Could you admit your flaws? I would like to have the respect of my crew.
Not out of default.
Genuine respect.
And I believe that has to start with you.
So, I was thinking you and I should sit and talk together.
Not on shift.
Sometime when we won't be interrupted by calls all day.
Oh, you mean over coffee or something? Sure, that that could work.
Or not I mean, we don't have to Coffee it is.
- Thank you.
- You are welcome.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Would you give someone new a chance? Would you protect your heart? Would you share your space? So, there are some house rules.
Some? I think he means "many.
" When you live on this boat, just listen to this Captain.
Aye, aye.
Anything else you need, man, we got you.
Or would you wake up, get dressed, step out, breathe in move beyond the past or sadness or worry and just start running?
