[beeping]

[rumbling, cracking]

[roars]

The st-stegosaurus claims its t-territory.

But, oh, no. Here come the pt-pterodactyl.

[caws, roars]

-Hey.
-[caws]

Get out. We're gonna build a fort.

But I'm p-playing.

Yeah, with your...
[stutters] ...dinosaurs.

There. Now you can go play somewhere else.

[cries]

[crying, panting]

S-Sally smiles at the s-sky.

Deep breaths, Anthony, like in practice.

Sally s-smiles at the sky.

[gasps]

[stick snaps]

[gasps]

Hello?

Run!

-Run!
-[screaming]

[Owen] Lately, I feel like
I've been in... in a fog.

In my relationship with my girlfriend...

now ex-girlfriend,

and a... a big decision
I have to make at work.

I...

I just feel like I'm in a haze.

And I don't know why.

[facilitator] But you think it has
something to do with your brother's death?

Well, I'm sorry, you're gonna have to be
a little more specific.

There have been a number of them
that have died on my watch.

I'm sorry. I... I had no idea.

How could you?
The first one was over 40 years ago.

But I think this particular fog
did roll in

around the time of my half-brother
Robert's death a year ago.

I'm guessing that his death was sudden?

Sometimes, unexpected trauma
can freeze us in place.

It wasn't unexpected.
He had Huntington's disease.

We had time to prepare.

But nice try. [chuckles]

Yeah.

["I Love You So Much Julianne" playing]

Thank you for inviting me
to your grief group.

-You mean dragging you?
-You didn't drag me.

You might have cajoled me
for the last nine months.

Did it help a little bit?

It was good to talk about Robert again.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's been three years,
and I feel the same way about Charles.

I, uh... I had no idea about your brother.

-Tyler.
-Tyler? Is that...

-It's where the T in T.K. comes from.
-Yes.

He was ten. I was 13.
He drowned at the beach.

I wasn't more than six feet away from him.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, well.

I seem to have a hard time
keeping my brothers safe.

Tyler. Robert. My guys in New York.

Judd was lucky to get out while he could.

Self-preservation was the last thing
on Judd's mind when he left the firehouse.

Man, I love that guy,
but recently I'm kinda feeling

like he left me holding the bag a little.

You still have no idea
who you're gonna replace him with, do you?

You heard me. I'm in a fog.

I've put the decision off so long,

the Chief's gonna step in
and make it for me.

Uh, has anyone good
thrown their hat in the ring?

You could say that.

[T.K.] All right, folks. Final bets.

The rules are very simple.

First firefighter to roll their hose
into a successful doughnut

without any kinks wins.

Now, we want a nice, clean race.

No kicking. No biting.

-No spitting.
-No spitting?

It's Marjan,
and we've all seen her at roller derby.

Hell, yeah, we have.

That's why I'm betting
on Speed Queen Marj.

[Gillian] She may be the speed queen,

-but she peters out.
-I do not peter out.

Oh, I've seen your last lap at the derby.
You peter.

And that's why all my money's
on the Big Tortoise.

-Let's go, Paul.
-I don't know if I like the Big Tortoise...

-All right. Nancy.
-...but I appreciate what you trying to say.

-Mateo.
-Let's go.

Racers. On your mark. Get set.

-Come on, Marj.
-Come on. Here we go.

[Gillian] Here we go. Slow and steady.

-Slow and steady wins the race.
-Come on, Marj.

Come on, Marj.

[all cheering, shouting]

That's my girl.

-Platonically.
-Let's go. Let's go.

She's petering.
Okay, let's go, Big Tortoise.

Yeah, yeah. Come on, Paul. To the end.

What you got, Paul? What you got?

Photo finish, Nancy.

-17.6 seconds for Paul.
-Mateo.

For Marjan, 23 seconds and counting
'cause I forgot to stop it.

-Come on. Damn.
-What?

I'm sorry. It was exciting.

You know what?
I think Marj squeaked out the W.

Nah, I think you won in that final push.

-Tie. Yeah.
-Tie.

[T.K.] You guys are ridiculous.

-How can you be so nice to each other?
-Why wouldn't we be?

[Mateo] Your horns are locked
in the heat of battle.

-The battle for the next lieutenant.
-Dude, no.

It's not like that between us.
We don't care about rank.

We've barely been thinking
about that promotion.

Sure.

Keep telling yourselves that. It's cute.

Seriously, we're not gonna let
a little competition

get between our friendship.

Let the best firefighter win.

-Ain't that right, Marj?
-Yeah.

No matter who he may be.

Or she.

[grunts]

Load ain't balanced.

You can tell that just from the...

Fine. There was nowhere for me
to put the totes to keep it even.

You could have reconfigured the totes.

There's no time to reconfigure the totes.

We're already a half-hour late
to the bank.

We'll be a lot later
if we flip the vehicle.

Would you just drive, please?

[driver] You know,
you need to relax, Stevie.

I read that anxiety is like a virus.

Emotional contagion, they call it.

So what we're a little behind?

Oh. Great. Just great.
We're so freaking fired.

Stop whining. I got this.

[Steve] You know what? My bad.

You're right.

Stress is contagious,
and I'm patient zero.

Ever since the baby,
I haven't been sleeping well...

Steve, SUV, 5:00.

Tailing too close.

Pull over. Pull over.

[gunshots continue]

They want us to stop.

Well, good for them. Call it in.

Truck zebra-one-niner.

Attempted robbery in progress
on Oriel Avenue.

Matt, they got the roads blocked.

Hang on.

[Steve] What are you doing?

Windshield's an inch-and-a-half thick
polycar...

[siren wailing]

-[fire truck honks]
-[radio chatter]

Dispatch said there were two victims
trapped inside at the time of the robbery.

-Any idea what they're transporting?
-How about a million in cash?

That's a lot of fuel.

Tell EMS to expect two criticals
when they arrive.

Mateo, set the inch-and-a-half line.
Put everything you've got on the hold.

-[Mateo] Yeah, Cap.
-Paul, Marjan, you're with me.

We gotta get these people
out of the cab now.

Austin PD.

Austin PD. Can you hear me?

[coughs] Yes! Yes, please help me!

-The door jammed in the crash.
-We're gonna get you out of there, sir.

-Marwani, extract from the passenger side.
-On it, Cap.

[grunts]

Hey, Cap. Look.

You don't get blood spatter like that
from an accident.

This is Captain Vega. You may have a GSW.

Copy that. We'll be ready.

Damn thing just broke the Jaws.
This thing's like a tank.

More like a vault.

-[Steve coughs] Oh, God. [coughs]
-Cap, what do we do now?

[coughs]

[Owen] Okay. This thing's rolled.

There's gotta be damage somewhere.

Hey, Cap. The bullet hole.

If the driver got shot, there's probably
a hole in the glass somewhere.

[Owen] We gotta find it.
Use your eyes and your hands.

[coughing]

[Marjan] Hey, hang on. I think I found it.

-Hang on, sir. We'll be right there.
-Let me get in there.

Marj, I'm behind you.

-[Marjan] Sir!
-Behind you.

Keep going. It's working.

[Paul] Keep going.

[firefighter shouts]

[both grunting]

[Owen] Clear out!

All right. Bring the hook.

Crank it.

Marwani, get the driver.

Smoke inhalation,
internal injuries, Captain.

-Okay. T.K., get his vitals.
-Yeah.

Got a chest trauma from
the steering wheel, and a GSW in the neck.

It looks like
the bullet severed the carotid.

No pulse. He's gone, Cap.

-What you got, T.K.?
-Pulse is weak and thready.

Sats are 40 and dropping, Cap.

No chest rise. He's in respiratory arrest.
You need to intubate him now.

Okay.

I can't get through the vocal cords.
They're too swollen, Cap.

Then step aside
and prep the Cric Kit for me.

Okay, there's his cricothyroid.
Nancy, swab right there.

Almost there.

There.

Tube.

Okay. One up.

Okay.

[Tommy] Good.

Start bagging him now.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Open your eyes for me.

-Come on.
-Come on.

[Tommy] Come on.

There you are.

There you are. All right. That's okay.
Try not to move.

There's a tube in your throat
that's breathing for you.

Blink twice if you understand.

Good job. There we go.

Let's pack him for travel.
And let West Park know we're on our way.

-Copy.
-Good save, Captain.

You too, Captain.

All right. Good job, 126.
Let's wrap it up.

APD. Scene is yours.

Appreciate it, Captain,
but it's not our scene.

-It's theirs.
-[car siren beeps]

-Captain Strand.
-Ranger Reyes.

[Judd] Right. No peeking.

Except for you, Charlie girl.
You can look. It's okay.

Dad, is this really necessary?

Yes, this is really necessary. Ain't you
ever heard of a dramatic reveal before?

Okay.

All right. Leigh Ann, honey,
you can just come right here.

-Okay.
-[Judd] There you go.

Y'all, keep 'em closed.

All right. Okay. Open 'em up.

Welcome home, y'all.

Wait, is this for us?

Yes, you bet it is. You got two bedrooms

and a little backyard for Liam to play in.

Wow. This is so generous.

But how did you even find
an ADA-compliant home on the market?

-We've been looking for months.
-Oh, no, we didn't.

Uh, Judd here has been
renovating it for, what, six weeks?

-Mm-hmm.
-Dad, when did you even do this?

Well, you know, I've had 12 hours a day
now that you're busy with your fancy job.

You... You lowered the countertops,

the light switches,
changed the door handles.

He put rails in the bathroom too, so.

Thank you.

Thank you, both.

Look, Liam.
Hey, this is where you'll grow up, buddy.

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

It's gonna be awesome.
Yeah, it's gonna be awesome.

Mom, don't cry.

I don't think I can help it.

[Judd] Um.

Let me get a picture of this for Grace.
She would kill me if I didn't.

This is the new family
in their happy home.

-[Marlene] That's so cute.
-[Judd] Oh, yeah.

That's one for the mantel right there.

Look at my grandson.

Hey, Gracie told me
she's sorry she can't be here.

Well, I'd say she's got much more
important things on her plate right now.

Mama's, uh... Mama's doing the Lord's work.

So, what about you, Dad?

"What about me" what?

What's next for you?

There's... There is actually
something that I've been...

I've been putting off for a long time
now that's, uh, very important.

Yeah? What's that?

Well, I must start spending Sundays
the way I believe the Lord intended,

which is watching football.

[Marlene, Leigh Ann chuckle]

Oh, boy. [laughs]

So.

At approximately 1400 hours, the guards
noticed they're being followed by a sedan.

The passenger
fires warning shots into the air.

It doesn't stop the vehicle, but...

it does serve as an effective distraction
as they approach a choke point

where two more masked individuals
are setting up a roadblock

and waiting with a high-powered rifle.

When the vehicle doesn't stop...

I think we've seen
the long and short of it, Reyes.

[Carlos] Sir.

The plates on the sedan
and truck were bogus, likely stolen.

But we did put out a BOLO
on four males, age 25 to 50...

Yeah, well, you're ignoring the most
important clue of the whole bloody show.

Our suspect fired a round
at a moving vehicle

and hit the driver
clean through the windpipe.

Yeah. I know you feel strongly
about looking at people

with military training, Ranger Campbell,
and I don't disagree,

but there is 1.2 million vets
in the state.

And how do you propose we narrow it down?

We figure out their MO, sir.

Their MO?

They rob trucks with money in 'em.
What the hell is there to figure out?

There's more to it.
There's a deeper pattern at play here.

Which is?

Um. I don't know yet, sir. But I, uh...
I can feel it in my gut.

You... You said your gut?

Yes, sir. My gut.

Oh, goodness gracious.
You sound just like your old man.

With all due respect, Chief, we've had
three armored car heists in a month.

Now, I held my tongue on the first two
'cause them other drivers

had the good sense
to stop and surrender their payload,

but we got blood on the asphalt now.
This ain't no job for a greenhorn.

There are no greenhorns
in the Texas Rangers.

Come on, man. I know he's the son
of the late great Gabriel Reyes.

But nine months ago, he was an APD
patrolman working domestics and DUIs.

Campbell, Reyes did more
than work on DUIs, you know.

He solved kidnappings.
Hell, he even helped bag a serial killer.

I'm not saying he don't got talent.

Put him on credit card theft
or check fraud.

Let him get some Ranger reps in.

But someone's got
these boys' tails on fire.

All right,
you don't do three jobs in a month

unless you need
a lot of cash in a bad way.

Now, their big score just burned up.
What does that tell you?

They're gonna do it again.

All right.
Well, there's one thing we agree on.

If you wanna catch these guys,
let me take over the investigation.

Sir, please do not take
this case away from me.

This is not your case, it's mine,

and I'm in the results business.

Ranger Campbell,
whatever you got on your own plate,

clear it off, 'cause you're
going on this case full time.

You both are.

Hmm. I want you each to work this
whichever way you see fit.

[sighs]

Yeah, we'll just...
we'll see who comes out on top.

["Breathe and Stop" playing]

Double jab. Yeah.

Double cross.

Double cross.

-Damn, girl. Bringing the heat.
-[Mateo] There she is.

The lady with the magic hands.

Yeah, man. You should see
this nasty hook Marj is throwing today.

Actually, I was talking about
how she found that bullet hole

on that armored car.

Kind of cool how you used
your hands to guide you

like that blind dude in Don't Breathe.

Thanks. But we were
all working together, right?

No "I" in "team."

Yeah, for sure. I'm just saying
it was a baller move.

Especially given the circumstance.

What? That there were victims
trapped inside?

Yes.
And the lieutenant's badge on the line.

I mean, Cap's ready
to give that out any second.

Clutch time to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

Well, I mean, if we're being technical,
it was my idea.

What are you talking about?
It was Cap's idea.

"Look for a crack in the armor."
That's what he said, right?

Yeah, but I'm the one who said,
"Look for a bullet hole."

And I'm the one who found it.

Okay. Suddenly,
there's an "I" in "team," huh?

Since when do you dive-bomb for credit?

That's rich coming from "#FireFox."

[grunting]

-Hey. All right, all right.
-Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Maybe you guys should find a new workout.

♪ Breathe and stop ♪

[song ends]

-Hey.
-Hey.

Uh, question: Are you making any headway
on that lieutenant decision?

Nope.

But I got a couple more days
before the deadline.

You might not wanna wait that long.
I think the pressure's getting to them.

Pressure? Paul and Marjan?
They eat pressure for breakfast.

If this goes on much longer,
they might just eat each other.

Thank you for the heads-up,
but I think you're exaggerating.

Huh.

Kids like to use this spot for mudding.
Neighbor calls in a drunk driver

passed-out behind the wheel
doing doughnuts.

I don't think he's drunk though.

How can you tell?

The exhaust pipe. It's full of mud.

This is carbon monoxide poisoning.

-[Owen] We've gotta get him out of there.
-[Mateo] But how?

Just bring in the rig,
put it right in front of him

-to stop him in his tracks.
-Got it, Cap.

Don't bother.

Look at her go.

I was replacing the grease-trap cover
when I slipped and lost my hand.

-It's a prosthetic.
-[Mateo] Oh.

Sank right to the bottom.

But the worst part
is my wedding ring was on it.

We'll get it for you.

Want me to grab a pike pole
and fish it out?

No need.

[grunts]

Good job, 126.
Cap the hydrant. Clear the lines.

-I'll get the fire hydrant.
-I'll clear the lines, Cap.

-Oh, no, Cap. I can do that for you.
-Oh, no. I insist.

-I got it, Marj.
-I insist.

Who does she think she is? Lara Croft?

No, man. She's Firefox.

Yeah. He's breathing, Cap.
I think the fresh air is helping.

Bravo, Marwani.

-[chuckles]
-Showboat.

Voilà.

[worker] Thank you.

-Wait, but...
-Your ring.

-What are you doing?
-Helping clear the lines.

-Are you, though?
-Are you?

Yo, guys, what's going on?

You opened the wrong gate, didn't you?

-He did it.
-She did it.

[knocks on door]

-[Judd] Hey.
-Hey.

-What are you doing here?
-I was just on my way into work.

Thought I'd stop by
and say hi to my baby sister.

-Oh, yeah.
-What's up, Char-char? Hi.

-Wyatt, I'm playing train.
-Oh, nice.

I need to go poop now.

-Okay.
-[Judd laughs]

You gotta love a girl who speaks her mind.

Boy, she don't lack for confidence,
that's for sure.

Yeah.

-You want a cup of coffee?
-Sure. Yeah.

Yeah.

So, what?
You thought you'd just roll through

and see how your old man
was faring without you?

No. No, seriously.

I just wanna say hi.

I interrupted you
doing your taxes or something?

What?

Uh, you got your readers on.

I was just dusting off the old résumé.

Really? Yeah, what inspired that?

Uh.

Last night, after I put Charlie down,

it was the quietest this house has been
in the nine years we've been living here,

and I just had one thought
that was just kind of spinning in my head.

Yeah, what was that?

Well, you should know,
'cause you asked it.

-What's next?
-What's next?

And it... it threw me for a damn loop.

And, you know,
most of the time if I get lost,

or if I go adrift,

I turn to Gracie and...

she helps get me back on solid ground.

But, you know, Grace ain't here right now.

I remember her face

the day that, uh, the people
from the mercy ship came to our church

and they were pinning up these pictures
of these little kids from the orphanage.

And it was, you know, little kids
that the whole world just forgot about.

But little kids that, once Grace saw 'em,
she couldn't forget about 'em.

She knew it was inconvenient.

She knew that it was terrible timing.

But she felt the touch of God.

And I can still see her face that day.

Her eyes were,
you know, shining with tears and...

Not just tears, man, like this...
this, like, fire too, you know?

And I never loved her
more than I did in that moment.

[exhales]

-Wow.
-That's what I want for me now.

That kind of purpose.

-Hence the résumé.
-[chuckles]

Hence the résumé.

Look, uh,

I think that's great, honestly.

But I doubt Judd Ryder needs a résumé
to get a job as a firefighter. [chuckles]

Maybe not.
But this ain't for firefighting.

Yeah? What's it for then?

This is for trucking.

Trucking?

Yeah, why not?

I already got the license
from driving the rig, you know?

I can do short-haul stuff.

I could be back in time
for dinner with my baby girl.

Dad, you and I both know you were
put on this earth for one purpose.

That's to be a firefighter.

-I retired.
-So... unretire.

No, it's not that simple.

I already started collecting my pension.

Without special dispensation
from the Chief,

I have to go back
and start all over again as a probie.

It's a good thing your best friend
has an in with the Chief then.

I'm not gonna take advantage
of my friendship with Owen.

That's... That's a matter of principle.

Yeah, a matter of principle or pride?

Dad, for six months,
we had PT in that corner

and... and every minute of that sucked.

I recall.

I felt so sorry for myself

because, you know,
the biggest dream of my life,

your dream to be a firefighter,

that was taken from me.

Every time I felt
like waving that white flag,

what did you say?
You said, "Quit whining"...

"Get grinding."

You and Grace,

you guys pushed me
even when it felt hopeless.

I may never be a firefighter...

but thanks to you guys,

I mean, I have a job more meaningful
than I could have ever imagined.

I just... I want the same for you.

You really did just come here
to check on me, didn't you?

[laughs]

Oh, you know, you're my dad.

I appreciate you, like,

more than you'll ever know.

But if Owen wanted me back,
he would ask me, okay?

The 126 has moved on.

And, uh, you know,
now I gotta do the same.

Babe, I don't know when we're gonna do
this couples' hang.

So, Marjan and Joe could do Saturday,
but of course,

-Mateo and Nancy are going camping.
-Of course.

Paul and Asha can do Sunday but not Joe
and Marjan. And everyone can do Friday.

Okay. So, let's do that.

No, we can't do that.
That's your nephew's birthday, silly.

Oh. Right. So...

Where exactly are you right now, husband?

It's...

I'm sorry. It's this armored car case.

This ranger at the office,
Ranger Campbell,

he called me out in a briefing.

Got the Chief to okay
a parallel investigation.

Now I'm in a footrace with the guy.

-Campbell? Like the soup?
-Yeah.

First of all, that's a really stupid name.

Second of all,
he sounds like a complete idiot.

Yeah. Except he's not.

He may come from a different angle
than I do, but... [stammers]

...it doesn't make him wrong.

Okay. Well, maybe he's not an idiot.

I mean, do you have any leads?

No. [scoffs]

I only have 30 minutes with you today
I'm not wasting talking about a case.

Babe, stop. Come on.

I do have a theory.

The thieves are targeting trucks two
or three stops after they make a pickup

from a big cash event.
But before they make it back to the bank.

-When cars are packed to the brim?
-Exactly.

So they hit this one on Alvarado
two stops after it made a $300,000 pickup

from a flea market.

They got this one after it picked up
150K from a bingo parlor.

And the last one stopped
at a horse track before it was attacked.

I mean, it had over 900 grand inside.

Okay. Well, sounds like you
figured out their MO, right?

Now, you just have to find out when the
next big cash event is and go from there?

But that's the problem. It's Austin.

It's full of big-cash events every day.

There are concerts or gun shows.
I mean, the-the pool's still too big.

-Maybe my gut's just wrong.
-All right. Maybe it is.

[chuckles]

-Thanks.
-But what about your dad?

Was his gut ever wrong?

Not once in recorded history.

-Exactly. And he believed in you, Carlos.
-[radio beeps]

[dispatch] TXDOT, respond
to the 500th block of South Lamar.

Signals out all the way to De Zavala.

-I'm sorry, baby. I... I have to go.
-Why?

They said traffic lights were out, not
that they needed medical for an accident.

But now South Lamar's
gonna be a parking lot.

I'm gonna have to take side streets
all the way back to the firehouse.

Wait.

That's it. That's it.
T.K., you're a genius.

What did I do?

I have to go. I love you, okay?

I love you.

Hello, Officer...

Ranger Carlos Reyes.
I'm looking for the shift supervisor.

That would be me. Sara Ortiz.
There something I can help you with?

I'm hoping you can help me catch a killer.

Each of the armored car attacks happened
in a remote area

within two blocks of a road closure.

-A broken water main, a downed power line.
-You think these guys created the problems

to divert the cars
off their normal routes?

I do. I think they'd call it in themselves
to make sure that the city responded.

I wanna check if there were
any 911 calls May 2nd

-for a broken water main on Alvarado.
-I'll check the CAD.

No. Nothing.

How about a downed power line
on Piper Street on the 11th?

No, I don't see anything like that.

[Wyatt] Maybe you're trying
the wrong number.

-911 is the only one we answer.
-Yeah, but maybe it didn't come to us.

So all those sound like
non-emergency city service issues.

The number for that's 311.

This is Wyatt, my newest dispatcher.
He just got his stripes last month.

Congratulations. Carlos Reyes.

I've heard a lot about you, actually.
I'm a friend of your dad's and Grace.

Yeah, I've heard a lot about you too.
You're-You're T.K.'s husband, right?

Yeah.

He was one of the paramedics
who saved my life.

Wyatt, why don't you pull up
311's database at your station?

Yeah. What was the date of the first one?

Uh, broken water main,
May 2nd on Alvarado Street.

Yeah. Here it is.

[operator 1]
311, what's your city service issue?

[caller] Hiya, friend.

I'm calling to report a busted pipe
spraying like a damn geyser.

Alvarado's totally flooded.

Check on a downed power line on the 11th.

Yeah. Yep.

[operator 2] 311, what can I do for you?

[caller] Hiya, friend. I'm calling
to report a downed power line on Piper.

It's sparking like a son of a bitch.

-"Hiya, friend."
-It's the same caller.

See if any calls came in yesterday
on Drew Valley Road.

[typing]

-[operator 3] 311.
-[caller] Hiya, friend.

I'm calling to report
a gas leak on Drew Valley.

Stinks like rotten eggs out here.

Same caller every time.

He creates a diversion
utilizing city services

and funnels the armored car
to an ambush point.

And I assume you ran the numbers he used
to make the calls?

They're all burner phones.

Been trying to find out
where they were purchased.

Maybe there was
a surveillance video somewhere.

You're wasting your time.

-Sorry, am I boring you?
-Well, far from it, boy wonder.

That caller's drawl.
Flat A's, rounded O's, dropped G's.

It's an Inland accent.
Predominant in Odessa, Midland, Pecos.

I cross-reference those hometowns with
all the special ops vets in our database.

Check out the ones
without a criminal record

or currently live in the Austin metroplex.

The pool shrinks from 386 names to six.

Dollars to doughnuts, at least a few
of them boys are our suspects.

You should put a BOLO out on 'em,
start rounding them up, Chief.

Well, uh, this is Texas, and we just
don't go around arresting folks

for a history
of honorable service to our country.

Chief, Campbell's right.
These guys are gonna strike again soon.

The longer they're on the streets...

The more likely they're gonna harm
somebody else.

Not if we catch them with their hand
in the cookie jar.

-[knocking on door]
-Yo.

-What's up, Owen? Come on in.
-I'm not interrupting?

No, no. I was just, uh, clearing out
some of Wyatt's stuff.

I got Charlie at day care so...

-You wanna drink?
-I would not say no to a beer.

I got you.

So, how does Wyatt like his new house?

Oh, man. He... He was beside himself.
He loved it.

I wish Grace had been there to see it.

Where in the world is your lovely wife
these days?

Last we spoke, her mercy ship was
on its way to the Solomon Islands.

-It's amazing.
-Yeah, it really is.

Well, thanks for taking the time.

Look, time is the one commodity
that I got plenty of these days.

Well, um, I hope this isn't too forward,

but I wanted to talk to you
about your old job.

Well, I'm all ears.

It's no secret you were
the best lieutenant I ever had.

And over the last year,
I know it more than ever.

Thank you, Owen.
I mean, that... that means the world to me.

Truth is, you left a set of boots
that Bigfoot couldn't fill.

And that's why I'm here.

Okay, so why don't you tell me more about,

you know, the perfect person
to fill my size 13-wide boots?

Yeah. Not "person." "People."

-You s... It's "people"?
-Yeah.

It's Marjan and Paul.

They've both formally submitted
their names for the position.

They're taking
their written lieutenant test today.

You want me to help
you choose my replacement?

This is awkward.

-This is awkward, isn't it?
-No, no.

It's just that you're
the person whose judgment

I... I trust the most.

And, you know, this last year
with Robert and Gabriel dying,

I've been in kind of...

a mental funk, I think you'd call it.

Yeah. I get you, man.

I'm always gonna be here for you, Owen.

So, yeah, where's your head at?

Well, you know 'em better than anyone.
You know their strengths, weaknesses.

Their strengths, yeah. [stammers]

You'd be hard-pressed
to conjure any weaknesses.

So you don't see
any daylight between 'em either?

The good news is,
you can't go wrong either way.

Now, I'm not sure about that.

You know, this competition
has really come between the friendship,

and I'm worried that, you know, there's
gonna be some bitterness between 'em.

Between them or... or towards you?

You think this is all about me?

You've lost a lot of people that
are close to you. Family, friends, and...

Um. I don't know.

[stammers] It could be, the real reason
that you're so stuck on this

is you don't wanna lose nobody else.

And you're saying whoever gets passed over
might not wanna work

for the guy who passed him over.

Bingo.

It's going up like a geyser.

Do it.

Game time.

[construction workers, police chattering]

They're here. Get in position.

All right. Let's do this.

Pull over! Pull over! Pull over!

They're headed your way.

Out of the truck! Now!

Open the damn doors!

The hell are they waiting for?

I guess we'll never know.

[police car sirens wail]

[Bridges] Drop your weapons now!

And get on your knees!

[SWAT member] Go, go.

[officers shouting, chattering]

Oh, don't look so confused, boys.

Haven't you ever heard
of an old-fashioned Texas bait car?

My, my.

How far we have fallen from grace.

Staff Sergeant Andrew Foster.

How the hell did you know that?

You should really change up your MO.

Thanks to the tireless work
of the Texas Rangers,

four killers will be eating their supper
behind bars tonight.

The old man sure can lay it on thick
sometimes, if you ask me.

[sighs]

You know, I, uh...

like to take my crow neat
and as fast as possible.

Okay.

I admit I thought you was
one of them nepo babies.

I didn't think it was fair you got
to jump the line just 'cause of...

Who my father was.

Yeah.

But if you hadn't figured out
that them thugs was using 311 calls,

they'd have killed somebody else.

Well, then I guess
I should take a shot of crow myself.

This whole time,
I thought I was in a footrace with you.

But if I had looked at you
more like a partner,

maybe we would have broken this sooner.

Well, let that
be a lesson to you, partner.

[chuckles]

You know, I, uh, sat across the desk
from your daddy for seven years.

Just as close as you and I are now.

That much time, this little distance...

[inhales]

...you gather the full measure
of a man. [exhales]

-And what did you gather?
-[chuckles]

That he was relentless and brilliant,

but most of all,

an insufferable pain
in the ass. [chuckles]

Must run in the family.

All right. [sighs]

Good night, Ranger Reyes.

Good night, Ranger Campbell.

[phone rings]

Hey, baby.

Hey. What are you doing?

Oh, nothing. Just feeding Lou 2.

Are you heading out?

Actually, uh, I think I'm gonna
stick here a little while longer.

Oh, but, I...

I thought you solved the case.
I... I just saw it on the news.

-Not for that case.
-Oh.

For the case.

Yep.

Will you just promise me one thing?

What's that?

That you won't eat your dinner out
of a vending machine again tonight?

[chuckles] I won't.

Uh. Don't wait up for me, okay?

I'll leave a light on for you.

Good night, T.K.

Good night, Carlos.

[sighs]

[Wyatt]

-[Wyatt] Uh. Is your vehicle stalled?
-No.

Then, sir, you need to get your vehicle
off the tracks right now.

I'm not on the tracks.

Okay, then why are you calling?

'Cause neither was the train.
