Hey.

I made you a card.

What's your name?

Sam.

Thank you, Sam.

That's really nice.

I have some photos, Sam and...

Yeah,

the guys are all fine.

All right, Sam.

You going home?

I just have to be back in a few hours.

I'm going to go over to Dave's to see if Janice needs anything.

Maybe take the kid to the park or something.

I'll go with you.

Tommy looked the kid up on the truck.

Mom took the picture.

Make you read it?

Yeah.

You should get your hands checked out.

Just clean them.

Not much else to do.

Babe?

Babe?

Babe? One o 'clock. What?

Set the alarm. It's supposed to be up at 12.

What time is it?

One. Oh, my God.

I'm supposed to be up at 12.

I put some clean uniforms in the closet.

You did? I told you last night.

I tried calling you like you asked me, but the phone was busy. I know. Somebody

kept calling, you know, and it was the wrong number.

They kept calling here, like, over and over and over.

The box was going to be here in, like, 15 minutes.

So you okay now?

No, I'm late now.

But you're up.

Is there anything to eat?

Some bagels in the fridge.

Okay.

I got to get back to work.

Okay.

How much longer are these 12 -hour shifts going to be?

I don't know. I didn't say.

The kids miss you, Emily especially.

Yeah. Talk to you later.

Okay.

We live next door.

Some of us.

Yeah, I'm coming.

I'm Henry Carson.

I own the building next door.

Monty. Monty Parker.

You're a fireman, right?

A paramedic with the fire department.

The lady on the place before you, she kind of really let it fall apart.

And I know you guys have been working a lot.

So we figured we'd come by and see if you'd let us take a whack at it.

Doing some of the work for you.

I'm a contractor.

Dave there is a plumber.

Harley, I don't really know what she does, but she wanted the help.

No, that's all right.

Are you sure?

Thanks for the offer, though.

Thank you.

Hey, boss.

What are you doing up? You've still got a couple hours before shift.

I just can't sleep.

How's Taylor?

She's not talking much.

Are you okay?

Chief's got us calling retirees to see if we can get them to put the uniform on

and go to the memorial services.

How many this weekend?

Eighteen on Saturday.

Last summer, your story of fire.

7 ,000 men stood in uniform outside St.

Ignatius.

I've been trying to reach Kim. Have you talked to her recently?

No, no, I haven't talked to her much.

I saw her down at the pile a couple of days ago.

You know, the city's been issuing new IDs.

She's not going to be able to get in with her FDNY stuff.

She's on disability. I'm not going to be able to get her one.

And I just don't want to go on down there and get all hung up at the

I see her. I'll let her know.

I'm studying for the captain's test. I thought I might pass it this time.

You'd make a great captain.

They assigned me to another house.

I want to stay here now.

Mom, what are you doing?

I knocked, but he didn't answer, so I used my key.

Coffee's made.

You down there again, Omer?

Find anybody?

How long are you going to keep going?

I think it's the best thing.

For what?

For you to keep going back there.

I'm all right.

You eating?

Sleeping?

It looks like you've lost about ten pounds.

There's lots of food down there.

Yeah, you eating it?

I didn't know you were back on the payroll for the department.

I'm not.

You mean you're going down there every night and you don't have to?

Lots of people are volunteering.

Lots of people have been through what you've been through.

No, they've been through much worse.

Jimmy's working every day, then going down there every night.

Means he doesn't get home much to see Joey.

I'll come by this afternoon.

You got more dirty laundry? I'll do the load before I go.

Why don't you do something to help?

Go back to work.

And help the living.

Instead of digging through that tragic pile of rubble every night.

What are you doing?

Not getting enough carcinogens.

Hey!

Oh, John, you're awake.

We're fine now.

She went out, down to the floor.

I was asleep.

for your concert. It's two o 'clock. Yeah, well, I've been working 16 -hour

shifts.

You know that?

I want to miss the party.

Stop!

You have to play that music outside, eh?

Debbie Hogan still hasn't come for the car.

She will when she's ready.

I heard the guy from truck six went down and got tattoos.

Hello.

Hi.

Sorry about everything.

Thanks.

You can just put that over there with the rest of them. Listen, I know this is

going to sound strange, but I have to say it.

All right.

Okay. See, I'm a psychic.

She really is.

This candle, it has... It's special.

I know there are firemen still alive.

I've heard them. Thanks. Do take that. They talked to me.

Yeah, I'll take that. Thank you. But if you light it and listen, they'll talk to

you, too.

Step back right over here. We're coming out.

Tommy Battaglia.

We were at the academy with him.

I remember when I only wore this thing for parades.

I feel like I haven't left this place in weeks, man.

It's because you haven't.

I have no idea what my kids have been up to.

No news of fight goodness.

Fred's been amazing.

He does everything now.

All I have to do is get out of bed and go to work.

Good. That's all we've been doing.

I wonder which barricade we'll be guarding today.

I just want to be a cop again.

I hear the mayor asked the governor to send in the National Guard to take over

the checkpoints downtown.

Oh, that's great.

A bunch of kids in camouflage with M -16s flung over their shoulders.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

You getting your rest?

Not much.

Yeah, me neither.

Oh, yeah, you got a Ukrainian carnival at your house, too?

So we should be back to relatively normal hours in about a week, 12 instead

16. The mayor is opening up downtown tomorrow, and the bomb threats are

off.

Some good news on the day off front.

You'll each get a day in the next five.

Sergeant Christopher has put together a list of those who will be off tomorrow,

and the rest of you will be notified sometime during your shift which day

get. All right, that's it.

Eyes and ears open out there.

All right, listen up. The following officers will have the day off tomorrow,

subject, of course, to callback.

Golding, Bernaro, Haybert, Sullivan, David, Roy, Boole.

And stop by the desk sometime during the tour and make sure we have a way to

find you if we need you.

That's it.

I really could have used some time off with Fred and the kids. I'd rather work.

I'd just be sitting home wishing I could do something.

I've got to work.

They just wanted to do it for you?

That's what they said.

Now, what do they want for it? Nothing. Come on.

They said they know I've been working a lot and there was stuff to be done.

So they've been watching you.

What?

They know your work schedule.

Carlos, the entire city knows we've been working a lot.

Hey, guys, thank you. Thank you.

See you later.

No, I can't get used to this.

Yeah, I guess it's nice.

People showing their appreciation.

If we want to show their appreciation, they can start by paying us more money.

I think that's more like a city hall thing.

A guy can make a million dollars in one day on Wall Street. You don't see him

running into a burning building for $35 ,000 a year.

Vote for a bond measured up our salaries and leave the signs at home.

Amazing, huh?

Ten days later and still here.

Figured it'd last for a day or two.

It's incredible.

Maybe everything's changed.

I still got that cough.

What'd the doctor say?

Who the hell knows what we were breathing in down there?

I heard the PBA's gonna run some stuff.

Not sure I wanna know.

It's not like we'll be able to sue them or anything.

Send a process server over to Afghanistan and knock on hut doors.

Are your eyes feeling any better?

The drops helped.

Charlie's having nightmares.

He wants me to quit.

He thinks I should be doing something else.

Brings it up every time I see him.

Oh, hell, who could blame him?

I'm thinking about quitting and doing something else.

Really? You haven't thought about it?

After all this?

Yeah.

So are you?

And let that skinny little bearded bastard think he beat me? Hell no.

You know what?

Give me a parachute and a pistol and drop me down in there. I'll shoot him in

the head myself.

What?

A parachute?

If I was still in the Ranger, damn straight, you wouldn't even have to ask

twice.

How's it feel?

Eh, fine.

Hurt? A little.

You gonna go?

Who's in there?

Taylor.

You're so happy when Taylor's doing it, right?

You don't want him?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure I want something on my arm that reminds me.

You know who will.

Linda asked me that yesterday.

I don't. She wants us to get one together.

I never even thought about it before.

Sorry,

we've got to finish this later.

We're terribly sorry. Really? We know this is nothing.

Sir, fire.

I told him the car was running hot, especially in traffic.

I'm sorry about this.

Okay, sir.

If I would have found an extinguisher, I would never have called. It would have

had to come anyway, ma 'am.

Still, we don't like to bother you this way. No trouble.

That's what we do.

We can take her from here.

Listen, would you just let us do our damn job?

Let's get her out of the water. I need to get some information.

You all right?

Father's a chief.

Still missing.

I'll wait for you guys out front.

Us won't be here for 20 minutes.

I just need some air.

She going back down there tonight?

Yep. You think that's a good idea?

You tell it, kid.

Well, we'll see you guys day after tomorrow.

You lucky bastard.

We'll be here when you're off. Yeah, if Christopher ever gives us one.

I feel like we aren't doing our job.

No? No. There's been a crime committed.

We aren't doing anything about it. Can't do anything about it because there's no

one to catch.

There's no one we can catch.

Same thing.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You sure?

You want to come over for dinner?

Fred and the kids would love to see you.

No, they wouldn't.

They'll get over it.

I'm okay.

All right? Thanks.

You going back down?

Yep.

Get some sleep, Bosco.

Me too.

I don't even know what that feels like. It feels kind of strange, like I

shouldn't have taken it, you know?

You are not taking it.

What are you going to do tomorrow?

Try to get some sleep, if the bullshit bigs will let me.

Want me to drop you somewhere?

No, I got something to do.

Some rest. Yeah, you too.

Hey.

Hey.

You lost?

Oh, yeah. Can you tell me where the heroes are? Because I heard they were

Only if you brought a casserole. You don't want anything uncooked.

Same here.

How was it?

Oh, it's all the stuff they're buying.

I didn't like it when I was a kid. Yeah?

All the girls had barbies.

I had a fire truck.

No, mine were police cars.

Hi, how are you?

Lauren!

Aren't Joe and Billy around?

Yeah, they're still upstairs, I think.

Her husband's missing.

Otherwise, they'd bring their kids by the guy's rough house with them.

Oh, yeah.

You know, my father died in the line.

He's missing.

We haven't found him yet.

Right. Sorry, I didn't... No, I mean, I know there's not much hope, but you

don't know him.

It's wrong.

I'm going to get going.

You know where to find me if you want to talk or hang out or exchange recipes?

Alex. Plus the fish.

Yeah, come on.

Well, I've been seeing a lot of the fire department personnel in the last month.

You've been with the fire department how long?

Eight years.

And you have a fire department insurance policy?

Yes, sir. It's for $75 ,000. And you'd want your son to be the sole

Yeah. The first thing I would advise is setting up an irrevocable trust for

Joey, the access to which would be limited to his 18th or 21st birthday.

protects him and your estate from creditors. Sounds good.

You're divorced, right?

Yeah. And who has custody?

We share custody.

And in the event of your death, your ex -wife would make a fit and suitable soul

guardian?

Mr. Doherty?

Um, I don't know. She's, uh, well, she's had some problems.

Such as?

Well, she, uh, she tried to hurt herself a few months ago.

Suicide?

Yeah.

Are you comfortable with her getting custody of your son in the event of your

death?

I don't know. I really haven't thought of it.

Well, that's your choice.

How's that?

You could sue her for sole custody.

Sue her?

If you're uncomfortable with the idea that she'd be his sole guardian, you

should ask the court to revisit the custody arrangement in light of her

difficulties.

Yeah, I'm going to have to think about this.

Hey, new squad.

That old crate's going back to the academy for training.

Kelly, get all the hose chains and then start on the rescue gear.

After you get the hose chains over, start on the rescue gear.

Okay.

Wow, new engines.

Yeah, engine 12 got this back from maintenance, so they rotated this one

Hey, don't, Kim.

I'm okay, Luke.

Doc ran? I think he's out back. He's loading up the bus. Just starts in a

of minutes.

We cooked it all in the past three weeks.

I don't think so.

Too much food from the community doesn't make sense.

I missed the smell, the activity.

Yeah.

Kim came to see me. I know. I saw her outside.

She's cleared for duty and wants to come back to work.

We could use the help.

Think she's ready?

I don't know.

You're late. Yeah, I'll be right back down.

You know Alex Taylor pretty well, right?

A bit.

I don't think she's sleeping at all.

She's exhausted, burnt out.

She's liable to get hurt out there.

I don't think I can survive losing another one.

Why didn't you eat before the shift?

There's no food in my refrigerator.

Davis ate the fish sticks that had been frozen into the permafrost in my freezer

for the last three years. So they're all just still there?

Yeah. 300 bucks a week I'm spending on food and they're ordering takeout every

night. It seems to me your problem's easily solved.

Yeah? We're married here.

When the hell am I supposed to find time to do that?

May I help you?

Yeah. I want, uh, sweet Italian sausage on a hero, peppers, extra cheese, slaw,

one of those big dill pickles, and two large sodas. Can I make one of those

diet? Sure.

You got the license already, right?

Yeah. So when you're 50 years in the job, you haven't made friends with some

judge that can help you out? Just take her down to City Hall.

21 years.

Do you know any judges?

My manager said to tell you that, um, It's on the house.

It's not necessary.

He said if I take your money, you're going to fire him.

Okay.

20 years in here, I can't get a free refill on a cup of coffee.

Now I can't take my own sandwich. You paid for it.

You're taking it out of City Hall, huh?

Unless you want a family camped out in your apartment for the rest of your

I know.

I know. No lectures, okay?

Kim's coming back to work.

Really?

I want her to work with me.

I need to keep an eye on her.

What am I supposed to do?

Well, Johnson wants to make Taylor a medic again. Just for a little while,

her off the squad.

Alex Taylor?

Yeah, yeah. She's run out, man.

I mean, with all that's happened and with her father.

We're all beat. So what? I'm supposed to carry her load?

Come on, man. She's good.

She wouldn't let you carry her load even if you wanted her to.

What's this about?

What? What, you just want to get away from me?

No. Two years, that's it. You just dump me off the bus. I'm not dumping you.

Kim's been off.

She needs help. I'm senior guy.

She's going to ride with me for a while. That's it.

Thanks a lot.

I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

What?

The downtown skyline.

You think it'll ever be normal again, Bob?

What's normal?

Wait, Bob.

No.

You wanted to see me, sir?

Sit down, Alex.

You know, we have a medic shortage.

Yes, sir.

Kim's coming back.

And since she's been out for several months, I want to ride with her and make

sure she can still do the job.

Are you sitting with Carlos?

I'll ride an Adam 553 with Kim and your paramedic train, so I need you and boy

553 with Carlos.

Well, isn't there a shortage in the squad?

I need you in an ambulance, Sal.

Can I still go to the pile in my time off?

Of course.

Bye.

You okay with that?

Yeah, if that's where you need me, that's what I'll do.

Good.

That's it?

I'll get you back to the squad as soon as we get a pneumatic.

Great. Lou, Doc.

Hey, Alex. Hey, Kim. Welcome back. Thanks.

Is he all right?

Yeah.

I can't believe Doc did this.

I don't mean that as a diss on you. I mean dumping me like he did.

He needs to work with Kim. Why can't you work with Kim?

Carlos, this is not my choice.

I know. It's just... I can't believe it. Take a motor vehicle

accident. Multiple injuries.

8900 R3 in the intersection.

8 ,900, Arthur, 10 -4.

This guy's stroking something. He went right into the bathroom. All right.

Hold on.

You can't move.

All right, don't worry. We're going to get you out.

Anyone alive?

Yeah, there's two inside.

Go. Where are you hurt? There's blood.

Marcy. We were heading to the hospital. She's pregnant and had a contraction.

Okay, I'll be right back.

All right, there's a woman trapped. She's giving birth.

Where the hell are those jaws?

All right, keep breathing, honey. All right.

Okay, we're going to lift you out, all right?

Here we go.

One, two, three.

Watch your head.

Get it, get it. All right, nice and easy, nice and easy.

Here we go.

Be right back, please, sir.

I love you, Barty.

This is your first baby, ma 'am? Yes. All right, BP, 90 over 60, rest 22.

Ready? Ready? One, two, three.

Baby could be pressing on the vena cava.

We're on our left side.

I'll drive.

We need to get her to mercy fast.

Okay, you're doing good.

Okay, okay.

Doc, she's crowning. What?

Are you serious? I'm not joking about this.

All right, there you go.

Oh, the umbilical cord's wrapped around the baby's neck.

Under the cord.

Okay, I'll take that as a no. Give it two grams of magnesium sulfate drip.

Okay, Marcy, right now I need you to push, okay? Two strong pushes, okay?

All right?

There you go. All right, good, good. Once more.

Oh, she's beautiful.

You got a little girl. She's beautiful, too.

I'm just coming home for a minute, but we're still at work.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

First of all, hello?

Hello?

I need to talk to you first.

Okay.

Everybody's feeling happy.

That's good.

May John take me to the bedroom now.

No.

I mean, no, listen to me.

Let's get married tonight.

Tonight? Tonight.

I mean, you still got your dress, right? And we'll get some flowers from the

Koreans, and I'll get some champagne, and we'll meet at Zanzibar's at 11.

Tonight? Tonight.

Come on, I've got a friend from the courthouse who's going to do the

And the restaurant said they stay open for us.

Tonight? Tonight.

Okay.

And then they'll go home, right?

Anybody hungry?

There's some more lasagna in the fridge.

The one with the Italian sausage from that lady on what, Arthur? No, somebody

finished that.

This place down on 106th Street, they brought down a big tray.

Castellanos. It was good.

Anyone else sick of this hero stuff?

You know, my neighbor's starting to cut my lawn now.

I didn't ask him to. He just started doing it.

Send him to my place. How does he feel about painting?

I don't know, man. This place looks like crap.

What about plumbing? I gotta stop toiling for about a week.

You do the same damn thing here.

What the hell do you eat, man?

You're cooking.

Now that makes you a hero.

I gotta kiss my ass.

Nope. At the store by ourselves. We have to do this. Why?

We got some food left.

Monday. What do we always do on Monday?

Barbecue.

Barbecue.

Fire up the coals.

Walls?

Want to toss a salad?

You got some nice vegetables for the grill?

I'll make the beans.

Hey, but not too much brown sugar this time, okay? It's not a dessert.

It's good.

It's got to be good, sweetie.

Yeah.

Make beans.

Make them good.

98 % fat -free.

Big beans.

They found Tommy Doyle.

They're waiting for us to come down and carry him out.

Oh, I want to go with the squad.

Put your gear on.

Hey. Hey.

Where's Sullivan?

He's, uh, came down with someone home a little early.

Is he all right?

No, he's fine. He's, uh, he's getting married.

What? Long story.

You guys hear about the firehouse?

No. Finally found one of their guys.

Don't decide. The whole neighborhood's coming out.

Talk to you guys later, all right?

Take care, James.

Hey, look at all this.

Thank you.

You get the kids down okay?

Yeah.

Carly was asking for you.

I'll go tuck them in.

Thanks.

What?

For taking care of everything during all of this.

You've been amazing.

I'm worried about you.

I'm fine.

You sure?

I'm alive.

You guys haven't been in here in a week.

What year?

I had that.

My birthday.

Wow.

Hogan's wife came to get the car.

She was ready.

Set? Yeah.
