You let go!

I'm doing it!

Hey
You should've left it where it was.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Take your brother in the house.
♪♪
MADDIE: He was seven when you were born.
He was gone a year later.
That's why you don't remember him.
♪♪
How did he die?
Juvenile leukemia.
He got sick right after
that photo was taken.
(SIGHS)
Our lives changed forever after that.
Three years of doctors and hospitals,
every treatment they could find,
but nothing worked.
I don't understand why no one told me.
I mean, I had a brother.
They were in shock.
After he died.
They packed up his things.
We moved to a new town.
They made me promise never to tell you.
♪♪
No, it doesn't make any sense.
They were grieving.
I think they still are.
♪♪
So I was born
in the middle of all of that.
Of him being sick.
Yeah.
Leukemia.
I'm
I'm surprised they didn't try
a bone marrow transplant.
None of us were a match.
Not Dad, not Mom not me.
They couldn't find a match.
So they made one.
Me.
You were a match.
But then the cells didn't graft.
Daniel had a relapse.
I wanted to tell you so many times.
But the more time that went by,
it just got harder, you know?
And I'm so sorry.
Evan, please don't leave.
Just talk to me.

(CAR ALARM BEEPING)
What were you thinking?
That my brother felt unloved and alone
and I didn't want him to
think that it was his fault,
so I told him.
Well, it wasn't your place.
I'm not a kid anymore.
You can't tell me my place.
Watch the way you speak to your mother.
This isn't her fault.
It's not mine either.
You know, it wasn't my decision
to pack up my dead brother's things,
move to a new town, and
pretend like he never existed.
We didn't have a choice!
You don't remember what it was like.
The way people looked at us,
talked about us, they judged us
for having Evan.
And it only got worse after Daniel died.
And your mother was in no
state to deal with all of that,
so I thought, "Let's move".
Fresh start, for everybody.
You're not a mother yet.
You don't understand that kind of loss.
What it does to you.
You disappeared into your grief
and left me and Evan
to fend for ourselves.
Maddie, that's not fair.
We tried.
Not hard enough.
♪♪
MARGARET: No.
I don't understand why you kept it.
- We decided
- PHILLIP: I know.
I just wanted one thing
to remember him by.
MARGARET: We live with
the reminder every day.
- Staring us in the face.
- PHILLIP: All right, no
MARGARET: Isn't that enough for you?
PHILLIP: Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
MADDIE: Let me see how bad it is.
They're really mad.
MADDIE: They're not mad.
They're upset.
They were yelling. A lot.
Sometimes, people do that
when they care too much.
They overreact and they
feel bad about it later.
You're not in trouble.
Promise?
I promise.
PHILLIP: Evan?
Hey.
What do you say we go to the store,
and get you a new bike?
- Really?
- PHILLIP: Yeah.
I'll get my keys.
Hey, maybe we'll grab some
ice cream on the way back.
They're really not mad.
Told you.
It's just what happens when they worry.
Yeah.

EDDIE: This explains so much about you.
HEN: It's a miracle that
you even survived childhood.
It's a miracle he survived yesterday.
BUCK: It was the only way
I could get their attention.
Guess now we know why.
They never wanted another kid.
They just had me for parts.
Defective parts, as it turned out.
Hey, that's not on you.
I doubt they would agree.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Have you talked to them about it?
What am I gonna say?
"Hey, I'm really sorry
about your dead son,
but can we just talk
about me for a minute?"
HEN: Daniel wasn't their only son.
You matter too, Buck.
Sure. Just just not to them.
CHIMNEY: Sorry I'm late, Cap.
Hey, can we talk in private?
No need. Come on. They
all heard the story.
Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
- Believe me, I wanted to
- I get it.
Maddie put you in a tough spot.
♪♪
She does that.
You need to call her, Buck.
She really wants to talk to you.
EVAN: So what did you wanna talk about?
- Heard you got grounded again.
-
What'd you do?
I tried out for the football team.
And that got you grounded?
Well, someone had to
sign the permission slip.
Hmm, guessing it wasn't
either of our parents.
Figured they'd just say no.
You know how they are. They suck.
Where are we?
We used to live here.
EVAN: Really?
I thought we always lived in Hershey.
Guess you wouldn't remember.
You were really little then.
Why'd we move?
Okay, I need to tell you something,
and it's gonna sound crazy,
but I need you to listen.
(PHONE CHIMING)
Is that him again?
Hold on.
Hey, babe.
Yeah.
I'm with Evan.
No, not yet.
Of course I'll be home for dinner.
Okay, love you too.
Why's he always gotta know
where you are and what you're doing?
It's sweet.
He cares about me.
I don't like him.
(SOLEMN MUSIC)
So you were gonna tell
me something crazy?
♪♪
Doug got accepted to medical school.
In Boston.
He asked me to go with
him, and I said yes.
I applied to some nursing schools.
I'm gonna go nights so I
can work during the day,
pay for it myself.
That way. I won't need
to ask Mom and Dad
for anything ever again.
You're leaving me?
Boston's not that far.
And I'm just a phone call
away whenever you need me.
♪♪
Promise?
Can't get rid of me that easy.
♪♪
Just wanted to make sure you were okay
'cause you're not answering my calls.
- Please just give me a chance to
- 29 years.
Why is it now suddenly
such an emergency?
Because you won't talk to me.
And you're here, working,
and you probably shouldn't be.
No, you don't get to take
that away from me too.
- I wasn't trying
- We were supposed to be a team.
Us versus them. That's
what we always said.
But it turns out it was
the three of you against me
the whole time.
And now,
you're not here for me.
You're here to make
yourself feel better.

ANNOUNCER: Station 51, fifth alarm.
Industrial complex fire.
2351 East Boulevard.

♪♪
Okay, five-alarm fire.
We're third on the scene.
Captain Mehta from the 133 is IC.
It's his show. You guys know what to do.
Gear up and stand by for a size-up.
MEHTA: Hand sanitizer factory.
32 workers inside.
We've accounted for 20.
Sprinkler system's overtaxed,
nonfunctional.
We're trying to get
the water flowing again.
You can see where the hot zones are.
That could change at any second.
- Accelerants?
- Everywhere.
We have no idea where they're stored.
They didn't file a certificate
with the city?
They did when they
were a perfume factory.
Converted to sanitizer
when the pandemic hit.
The place is packed with flammables,
so, basically, it's
a minefield in there.
And a large one, so you
stay with your teams.
If you need to split off,
you remember your hose
line is your lifeline.
You get lost, you find a wall.
There are still 12 workers
in there unaccounted for.
Eddie and I will be joining the 133,
searching on the Charlie side.
Hen, Chim, Buck, you
will be running a team
with two firefighters from the 141.
Your entry point is
the alpha side. Let's go!
- HEN: Copy that, Cap!
- Copy that.
Hey, Buck.
Not now, Chim.
You know you can't run away
from this forever, right?
Sure I can. It's the Buckley family way.
- It's gonna be so weird without you.
-
Do Mom and Dad know yet?
PHILLIP: Maddie, we need to talk.
Doug called.
- He told us about Boston.
- Oh, God.
She's going to nursing school.
You should congratulate her.
Oh, don't be stupid, Evan.
This is not good news.
- Don't talk to him like that.
- PHILLIP: Evan?
MARGARET: Why would you
agree to go with him?
MADDIE: Because I love
him and he loves me.

HEN: To the left.

IC, this is Buckley, 118.
I got level four flammables
inside the west side entry.
Looks like about ten pressurized drums.
Copy that, Buckley.
Sprinkler systems are still down,
so I'm sending in foam.
HEN: All right, guys,
let me know the level
of involvement up ahead.
The victims are toward
that side of the building.
BUCK: Copy that.

I wouldn't say all clear,
but definitely clear enough
for us to keep on moving.
CHIMNEY: This way's no good.
Great. Let's keep going.

BUCK: Wait, wait, here.
Someone put towels under this door
to keep the smoke out.
Hey, I got people inside!
Go, go, go, go!
CHIMNEY: Scott, Lorenzo, let's go!
Try to remain calm.
We're gonna get you out of here, okay?
BOBBY: IC, Captain Nash here.
Be advised we have
located seven victims,
but we've had some
accelerants ignite up here.
We are separated from two of our team.
Sending them back out.
You guys hear that? They need help.
That's clear across the factory!
They lost two guys! We got plenty here.
I should go.
You're not wrong, Buck.
And I don't say that to you very often.
Go!
Be careful!
- Oh, Maddie
-
Omar, did you give
colitis guy Ibuprofen?
- Because that could trigger symptoms
- Hang on.
There's some kid in Exam 3.
He insists on seeing you.
Says you pinky sweared.
I don't know what that
is, but he won't leave.
Maddie, you've gotta help me.
Evan, what happened?
I crashed my bike.
- You what?
- BUCK: No, I'm all right.
They patched me up at Presbyterian,
but I needed to see
you, like, right away.
Omar, this is my brother, Evan.
Oh, yeah. The football star.
Yeah, hey.
Let me know if you need anything.
(WHISPERING) Maybe a sedative.
Are you okay? No concussion?
Look, I can't go home.
What are you talking about?
I got kicked out of school.
Again?
Wait, how do you even get
kicked out of community college?
Maybe you use your tuition money
to make some cool
modifications on your bike.
Evan
There were also some keg
parties that I bankrolled.
Do they know about this?
No.
No, not yet, but if I go home like this,
they're gonna find out a lot faster.
What do you want me to do?
Can't I just stay with you?
I mean, I've hardly seen you
since you and Doug moved back,
and you got that nice
big house, you know,
maybe with a nice big guest room?
(SOMBER MUSIC)
It's Doug, isn't it? He hates me.
No, no, no. He doesn't.
He does not hate you.
It's just
things are complicated at home.
Well, try my home.
It's got so much worse since you left.
Mom and Dad think I'm a total loser,
and I'm not, Maddie.
I'm not, okay?
I'm gonna be something.
I just I don't know what it is yet.
Hey, of course you will.

most of the supports in here.
Structural integrity is not good.
MEHTA: All teams, all teams, be advised.
We are evacuating the structure.
Repeat, full evacuation is in effect.
IC, this is Buckley.
One team found seven victims.
Others got four.
Means there's still someone in here.
MEHTA: Yeah, we are aware, Buckley.
But it's too unstable.
We're just gonna leave someone behind?
It's too dangerous to continue.
You need to pull out, now.
Copy you.
On the move.

It means that the world is

Ooh.
Freedom.
Your way out of here. Away from them.
Wait, you you're giving me the Jeep?
(LAUGHS) Are you serious?
Does Doug know?
Look, I can give you a little
bit of money to get started,
and then you can go anywhere you want.
I mean, this is amazing,
but where am I gonna go?
It doesn't matter.
The point is to go
as far away as you can, and
be happy.
'Cause that's what you did?
- Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
- Oh, come on, Maddie.
You don't have to pretend
with me, all right?
I know things aren't okay with Doug.
It's like I said. It's just complicated.
You know, most marriages are.
Hey, what if you came with me?
No more Mom and Dad. No more Doug.
Just you and me against the world.
You and me in the world.

Mom would love it if I left him.
It would be I-told-you-so's

That's not a reason to stay miserable.

The point is to go.
Oh, I did just say that, didn't I?

surprised to hear from me.
I'm done being mad at you. Mostly.
Been bouncing up and down the East Coast
for a few months now
picking up some odd jobs.
Haven't found my place yet,
but I've met some cool people.
Though no one as cool

BUCK: I finished school!
Bartending school.
I'm the coolest mixologist
in Virginia Beach.
I met this girl who likes to surf
and I started learning.
I really like the ocean.
Maybe it's 'cause I never
got to see it as a kid.
When I'm out there, it just feels like
there's nothing but possibility.
There's no stopping me now.
(NICK DRAKE'S "ONE OF
THESE THINGS FIRST")
I stopped bartending. And surfing.
That thing with the girl
seriously did not work out.
I'm doing construction now,
working with these guys

When I got to California,
decided I'm gonna try

You don't have to fully enlist,

I think Mom and Dad would be proud.
I mean, these are the
guys that got Bin Laden.
The baddest of badasses, right?
Hooyah.
He quit the SEALs.
Are you supposed to be reading those?
I'm living vicariously.
Oh, and he sent another pic.
Is he gonna be an Indian
next, because I feel like
he's working his way
through the Village People.
Oh, my God.
BUCK: I quit the SEALs.
They wanted robots with red eyes,
and that ain't me.
I'm working on this dude ranch,
and it is serious.
Big Sky country's beautiful too,
but I gotta say, I do miss the ocean.
I made it back to the ocean.
It's gonna be too cold
here soon, though,
so I'm thinking of checking out Peru.
Why Peru?
