Ladies and gentlemen,
today is a very big day.

I don't need to tell you
how ruthless our suspect is.

He's a public menace
responsible for tens of millions

in property damage.

He has burned, maimed

and killed innocent people.

And he's done it all
while hiding in plain sight.

Oh, he thinks he's smarter than us.

And for too long,

he's been right.

Now, make no mistake,

this man is a dangerous
sociopath who will do

anything to avoid capture.

So, keep your head up, watch your six...

... and let's get this son of a bitch.

Get him up.

Owen Strand, you are under
arrest for criminal trespass,

reckless destruction of property,

aggravated assault and arson.

Get him out of here.

Captain Strand.

Good to see you're up.

It's good to see you, Dr. Jacobs.

How you feeling?

If I were in the game of Operation,

- I wouldn't have buzzed once.
- Mm.

Well, I am afraid to say

you would have one time, unfortunately.

Is there a complication?

No, not a complication, exactly.

Just, during surgery, we discovered

your tumor was larger
than we anticipated.

What does that mean?
Did you get everything?

Absolutely. It just means
that your recovery

will take longer than we expected.

So, six days instead of five?

Uh, more like three to four weeks.

Three to four weeks?

Doctor, I can't be away
from work that long.

The taxpayers need me.

Dad, I'm sure the taxpayers
will understand.

Well, until your O2 levels
return to normal,

you will experience shortness of breath,

fatigue, coughing.

But the good news is all
you need to do to feel better

is to kick your legs up and relax.

That's not good news for my dad.

Well, either way, the takeaway here is

it was a success.

Now, I will want to keep you overnight,

but you should be good to go tomorrow.

All right, well, thank you, Doctor.

- You're so welcome. Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

Four weeks?

That's like two fortnights.

Eh, don't worry, we'll find
a way to pass the time.

Oh, that reminds me.

Carlos and I brought you something.

You guys, you didn't have to do that.

Oh, you can just take the lid off.

Oh. It's a puzzle.

You hate it.

No, I-I love it. Lookit...

I love poker and I love dogs,

and I have both of them right here.

I haven't done one of
these since I was seven.

Yeah, 'cause you haven't sat
still long enough to try one.

And here's a tip:
start with the corners.

Oh. I believe this is for you.

- Oh!
- There he is!

- What up?
- You guys are the best.

- How you doing, Cap?
- That's a question for you.

How you doing, Cap?

I'm just keeping your seat warm.

Although he did say he was gonna
sell your espresso machine

- for a mechanical bull.
- That would be so dope.

You guys are so fired.

Oh, probie, did you
water the philodendron

in the house this morning?

I almost did.

But I remembered to
water the dog, though.

Close enough.

Doc says I'll be home
by tomorrow, by the way.

Cool, I'll have the tequila standing by.

Hey, no booze while he's on painkillers.

Okay, so, home tomorrow,
and then how long

till you're back at the firehouse?

I'm shooting for ten days.

No, it's three weeks, minimum,
and-and that's pushing it.

Look, take your time, Cap.

There ain't nothing to
worry about, all right?

It's been pretty quiet around here.

Why'd you have to jinx it, Judd?

Have fun storming the castle. Be safe.

Captain Ryder, welcome to the show.

- Still sounds funny hearing that.
- You'll get used to it.

Yeah, well, I better. I just found out

Owen's gonna be out for another month.

- Is he okay?
- Yeah, he'll be fine.

- What do we got?
- Car blew out a tire.

Hit the guardrail, spun out

and clipped the truck
that was towing the boat.

Right. So where's the truck?

That's where y'all come in.

Please help us!

Okay, 126, let's back
that engine up to the rail.

Chavez, you're gonna be
with me on the winches.

Marwani, Strickland,
y'all get harnessed up.

Y'all are on rescue, and let's be fast,

because that chain
ain't long for this world.

Copy that, Cap. You think we should put

the rescue cushion out on the ground?

There's no point, not this high up.

Zombie Paradise?

Why would anybody name their boat that?

You'll have to remember to ask
them when we get down there.

- Let's do it.
- Hey, it's FireFox.

Are you FireFox?

- Guilty.
- Oh, my God, you guys.

She's, like, the Serena
Williams of firefighters.

Say something to my followers.
9,000 are watching.

- Please.
- Uh, keep calm, carry on

and feel free to like me on Insta.

Anyways, going down.

Is she not the coolest?

You got the winch up.
Stay light, stay sharp.

If that truck starts to go,
kick out. No hero stuff.

Kind of in the job description, no?

- Good, good.
- All right, slow and steady.

Nice and light.

Good, good, good.

Austin Fire. We're coming to you.

Oh, thank God.

Please hurry.

Hey, Marj, you smell that?

Yeah. Fuel.

- All right, topside, we're good.
- Kill the winch!

Austin FD. We're gonna
get you out of here, okay?

I just need you to try to remain still.

Okay. I told you they'd make it in time.

Yes, you did, baby, yes, you did.

Is anybody hurt or in pain?

- Just some scrapes.
- Uh...

My legs are-are pinned under the wheel.

Otherwise I'm fine.

We're gonna open
the door now, all right?

Driver's legs are pinned
under the wheel.

Send down the Jaws, topside.

Hey. Don't sweat it.

They're sending me down the tool
that's gonna pop this right off.

My name's Marjan and that's Paul.

- McKenna. My husband's Brady.
- Husband?

You two are babies.

How long you been married?

Uh, four years this July.

Can you unbuckle your seat belt for me?

No. It's stuck.

I'm gonna cut you out, okay?

Jaws are coming down the line, Marj.

You're doing great,
you're almost out of here.

The chain won't be able to
hold that truck much longer.

- Copy that.
- So,

what made you two decide to rush in?

Sounds crazy, right...
doing it so young?

Not to me. I got engaged when I was 12.

- Real talk.
- Wow.

My parents said I should wait

until I figured out who I really was.

But I knew.

I wanted to be his partner.

It's time to go.

All right?

I want you to wrap your
arms around me, okay?

Hey.

You got this, McKenna.

Okay.

- Good, good.
- W-What about Brady?

- He'll be right behind you.
- I'll see you up there.

You better. Love you.

You too.

Okay, topside, take us up.

Okay, Brady,

now it's your turn.

Tell me if anything
starts to hurt, yeah?

Yeah.

Doing great, doing great.

Okay, good.

Great job, McKenna. Very good.

Hey. McKenna, this is Tommy and Nancy.

- All right, hold on, please.
- Come with us, so that...

- No, I can't leave my husband.
- Let me take it off.

- Listen, it's okay, all right?
- Oh, no, no, I...

Sit down right here.

You're gonna catch your
breath. I'm not worried.

He's in good hands.

Seriously, Marjan is a boss.

- So, Zombie Paradise.
- What?

Your boat. What's it mean?

Uh... uh, dumb joke
between M-McKenna and I.

The boat is our escape plan

in case of a zombie apocalypse.

What major body of water are you
hoping to escape to in Austin...

Lake Travis?

I guess we just didn't
think it through...

Kid was 26 years old.

He had a wife that loved him.

I don't know. Marwani was that close

to getting him out when...

How's she doing?

She's stoic, she's strong. She's Marjan.

Ain't the first time, uh,

she's lost someone in her career.

And you?

Honestly?

Uh...

I'm struggling. I-I...

I keep going over it
in my head, you know?

Like-like, maybe if we had
tried to secure the truck

before I sent Marjan and
Paul down, I... Maybe...

You didn't have time.

You saved the passenger.
That's what you should focus on.

If you'd had delayed that rescue,

you could've lost them both.

But it's like...

what if we could have saved them both?

You're never gonna know.

That's the curse of being captain.

I ain't sure I'm cut out for it.

It's always this way?

- Every time.
- So, then, how do you keep,

you know, your mind from
going into a spin cycle

every time you show up for a call?

We're in the uncertainty business.

They don't give you the captain's helmet

because you know all of the answers.

They give it to you
because you can be decisive

even when you don't.

And then live with the consequences.

Heavy is the head
that wears that helmet.

Heavy is the head.

Well, you could have told me that

before asking me to put it on, you know.

Then you might not have taken the job.

Look, Judd, I chose you
to hold down the fort

because I know who you are.

- I appreciate that, Cap.
- Coffee?

Hey, speaking of holding down the forts,

how, uh, how was your
first day off of work?

Relaxing.

I did some tai chi.

Finally started that Churchill biography

I've been meaning to get into
and TK got me a little puzzle.

Ah. The one with the-the
shrink-wrap still on it?

I'll get to it.

You're-you're climbing
up the walls, ain't you?

Yeah. Yeah.

You know who you should call?

- Who?
- Billy.

Billy... Billy Tyson Billy?

Uh, yeah, your old best frenemy Billy.

Oh, man, he's too busy
running his firehouse

to come hang out with me.

Oh, you haven't heard, have you?

Thyroid cancer came roaring
back after the holidays.

At first I thought I had COVID...

Which I did.

Ugh.

Anyway, uh, this time it
spread to my lymph nodes.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Billy.

And I'm sorry I didn't keep in contact.

Don't give me that

"Oh, poor you" look, New York. Okay?

I whupped its ass once
before, I will do it again.

I have no doubt, Texas.

What are you doing
playing hooky from work,

come to see me in my humble abode?

There's nothing humble about this abode.

I mean that as a compliment.

Particularly if you like antlers.

All right, smartass, you're
gonna be the next head

up on that wall.

No, I'm, uh...

I had my wedge resection surgery.

So I'm convalescing.

So you're officially cancer-free?

Yeah. For now.

Well, hell, buddy, that is...
That-that's great news.

Good for you, man. I mean it.

Thank you. Thank you, Billy.

Uh, how long you supposed
to be convalescing?

Two weeks or so.

They told you a month, right?

Yeah, they pretty much did.

For working dogs like us,

that might as well be an eternity.

But I'm gonna keep busy.

I have some, uh, meditation tapes.

I'm gonna paint my bathroom and, uh,

maybe re-pot some plants.

Good God, New York,

I got a triple espresso here,

and you're still putting me to sleep.

All units be advised,

Code 2, 1376 Cherokee Lane.

Austin Emergency Dispatch.

They have an app for that?

Yeah, there's an app for that. Shh.

10-35 in progress.
Suspect is highly dan...

Eh, it's just a hostage
situation, no fire.

Do you jump on that every
time you hear a siren?

It's kind of pathetic, isn't it?

Getting a little rush
just from tuning in.

Yeah, but I can't imagine it's very good

for your mental health.

Maybe not. But at this point

I will take anything
that helps me forget.

That you have cancer?

That I'm a dog who can't hunt.

All right, we got potato cheese balls,

uh, wasabi peas for Marjan,
sunflower seeds for Paul,

and Nancy's beef jerky.

Okay, I think we're all set.

What?

I don't know, is a board game

really the right idea for tonight?

- Why wouldn't it be?
- It just feels weird,

after what Marjan went through,
to act like nothing's wrong.

Well, the whole point is
to act like nothing's wrong.

I mean, I'm sure she's
cried enough for one day.

All right, so we're gonna
give her a good time

and get her mind off of it.

So don't bring it up, okay?

And whatever you do,

do not give her the Carlos cow eyes.

The Carlos cow eyes?

You know, when you get
all lovey and concerned.

- Soulful, big, brown eyes, it...
- Mm-hmm.

absolutely wrecks people.

- You think they're soulful?
- Shut up.

Oh.

- Hey, hey.
- The party's here.

- Come on.
- Let's go, let's go.

All right, two wheats, babe.

- This is it.
- Come on, now we can build that city.

Oh, my God,

they're going to win again.

- I'm calling it... this is rigged.
- Mm-hmm. Rigged.

Yeah, you know what,
y'all, hey, hey, how about

- we start an alliance to take down this whole
- Yes.

- Tarlos juggernaut or whatever's going on over here?
- Hell yeah.

- I'm in. Nancy, can I trade you three sheep for a brick?
- Deal.

Hey, whoa, whoa. Not fair.

Hey, stop whining, okay?
It's all over anyways.

Unless Marj draws another knight card.

And what are the odds of that?

Knight, suckas!

- Oh! - Pretty good!
- Damn!

Who's got the largest army now?

I believe that makes ten
points, so, game over.

This calls for celebratory libations.

- Who wants a refill?
- Beer me, brah.

Please. Thank you so much.

Somebody's blowing up over there.

Are you going viral again or something?

Hey, Marj, what's wrong?

People are being really mean.

"She should change her name
from FireFox to Glory Hog".

And some guy just
called me "Thirsty FD".

The hell's happening?

I don't know, but I keep
getting tagged in this video.

Oh, is-is that...

It's the girl from the truck.

Hey, it's McKenna.

A lot of you probably heard
I lost the love of my life.

I didn't think this week
could get any worse,

but it did.

Because I just found
out while Brady and I

were hanging 100 feet off
the ground, terrified,

the firefighter who was
supposed to save us

was taking her sweet time
flexing for the cameras.

Meet FireFox, you guys.

Keep calm, carry on, and feel
free to like me on Insta.

Anyways, going down.

FireFox, you should be
ashamed of yourself.

You care more about likes
than people's lives.

"Going down"? Hilarious.
Well, I hope everyone

who sees this video
makes sure you go down.

Because it's what you deserve.

Oh, no.

Come in.

Hey, Cap. Uh, Owen.

I was just gonna head out.

Well, enjoy your inner tubing.

Yeah, we just call it tubing.

Hey, you sure you don't
need help finishing this up?

I mean, together we can
get this done way faster.

What makes you think
I want it done faster?

Because painting sucks.

Only when you start with
the idea of finishing it.

Why would you start anything

without the idea of finishing?

See, you see this as a boring act

keeping you from something else.

I see it as a restorative
act of meditation.

Ichigyo-zammai, as
they would say in Zen.

It's achieving your flow state.

I... Oh... Yeah, thanks,
but I think I prefer

my flow state to come
with a Styrofoam cooler

- and a tall boy.
- Well,

to each his own.

Don't forget your sunscreen.

If we truly desire Zen,

we must begin to unify our
thoughts and our actions.

When we do, we find distracting thoughts

begin to disappear.

Along with my interest.

We dedicate the virtues of our session

and our reciting of "maka hannya".

Our tasks are like fire
burning healthy wood

that will often slip through our grasp.

When that happens,

we simply must begin our work again.

And again.

You know what? No.

Are you jogging?

No, no, I'm just out for a walk.

- Trying to get my wind back.
- If you're tired,

Dr. Jacobs said not to push it. Okay?

Oh, no, I feel fine. Hey,
I started the puzzle.

You're right, beginning in

Really? I'm so glad. Hey, uh,

Carlos and I were wondering
if you wanted to join us

for dinner this week with his parents,

so, you know, we could
get to know each other

without anybody getting shot this time.

Well, I'd love that. You

Uh, yeah, I think it's, like,
three blocks that way.

Hey, you forgot your juice.

Hey!

Hey! Hey, anybody here?

Hey! Hey!

Hey, stop.

I got you.

Hold still!

Okay, is there anyone else in there?

Gerald. He was in the back.
He's trapped in the back.

Okay, okay, all right. You hold still.

Help is on the way.

Gerald!

Gerald, are you in here?

Gerald?

Over here! Help!

I can't see! I can't see!

Stop! Stop running!

I'm coming to you.

Over here!

- I'm right here.
- I can't see.

I think you had a flashover.

It can make you temporarily blind.

Okay... put this over your face.

Try not to breathe!

All right, hey, Gallagher,
Ricardo, get over there

and give first aid to them
till medical gets here.

Marwani, let's get that
two and a half hooked up.

What the hell you doing here?

- I was in the area.
- Talk about Johnny on the Spot.

Look, we're dealing with arson.

I saw signs of accelerant
in there, so be careful.

Okay, why don't you go get
checked out by the med?

- Yeah?
- No, no, no. No, I'm good.

All right, fire began
in the northwest corner,

so we let's concentrate on that wall.

Paul, Mateo, get up that ladder
and get ready to ventilate.

Sure thing, Cap.

Cap, you got to get out of
the street tonight, okay?

You're not caption tonight,
you're a civilian.

Okay?

You got to go, Owen, you got to go.

All right, you're right,
you're right, Captain.

It's your scene.

126, give 'em hell.

Hey, Cap, this is

AFD Arson Investigator Dennis Raymond.

He's here to take your statement

about what you saw
at the fire last night.

- Good to meet you, Investigator.
- It's an honor.

I've been following your career
since you got to Austin.

Do you mind if I use
your desk, Captain Ryder?

You mean, our desk.

Yeah, sure, go ahead, go ahead.

Okay.

So, according to...

Captain Ryder's I.R...

upon leaving the...

structure fire at 1840 Pecos

Thursday, you stated

that you were certain it was arson.

That's right.

Okay, can you walk me
through, uh, what led you

to that conclusion? But first, um,

maybe start with how
you arrived five minutes

before the fire company?

I was in the neighborhood.

I was at a coffee shop
getting a green juice.

Yeah, he drinks that
stuff by the gallon.

Small thing, um...

if I'm not mistaken, the textile shop

is three blocks

in the opposite direction

of your home from the coffee shop.

So why were you headed...
headed that way?

I was listening to the Austin, uh, FD

911 app.

May I inquire as to why?

For fun.

But, uh, anyway, I-I
heard the call come out

and I got to the scene
as fast as I could,

and right away, I felt
something was wrong.

Oh, you felt it?

Yeah? Felt it in your gut?

Yeah, the fire was too fast too quick.

And then I saw him.

Yes, the, uh...

the man in the hoodie. Uh...

Uh, Captain Ryder put that in his I.R.

Would-would you mind
describing him for me?

Five, ten... ish.

Medium build.

Medium build? That's it?

Well, it was dark and
he had his back to me.

So how do you know it was a him?

Well, I don't.

But I know the profile of an arsonist.

And what would that be?

Loner male... feels inadequate,

wants to exert some sort
of power in his life. Look,

I think if you go back and
look at the security cameras

in the area you're gonna find him.

We did, uh, actually.

Nothing.

Look, the burn patterns

at the point of origin were classic

sharp V... telltale sign of arson.

Yes, it can be.

But not always.

I've been doing this over
30 years, Investigator.

Fire doesn't move that
quickly without help.

The dogs found no traces of accelerant.

I spoke with the cleaners.

And they didn't see anything
or anyone suspicious.

Well, then he had a clever
way of setting it off.

- Look, I saw alligator char.
- Mm-hmm.

You don't get scales
that deep or that shiny

without an accelerant. This is arson.

It was sophisticated, it was deadly.

And it's gonna happen again,
'cause this guy's not gonna stop

until he gets caught.

You want a glass of water, Cap?

No, no, I'm-I'm...

I'm fine, it's just my
lungs are a little...

tight from the surgery.

Captain Strand, I understand,
recently, that you...

discovered some explosives that cracked

a major case for the Texas Rangers.

I-I read you, personally,

tracked down the perpetrators yourself.

Well, I was-I was just
trying to help my son.

Still, that...

that must have been a thrill, right?

And it might be tempting

to want to break open another one

with all that free time
you have on your hands?

Yeah, look, this isn't about
me getting a new hobby.

If you go back to that scene,

you're gonna find something.

I promise you we will leave

no stone unturned.

Thank you so much for coming down.

- Hey, Marjan.
- Hey.

How you doing?

Honestly, I've been better.

The whole "down with FireFox" thing?

I'm so sorry.

What a bunch of BS.
Don't listen to the haters.

It's kind of tricky when every
time I look at my phone,

there are so many more of them.

Well, one good thing about derby...

you can't skate on your phone.

Yeah, thank God for that,
'cause I'm just getting into it

with some tool who said
the reason I didn't save

McKenna's husband is 'cause
I didn't want to break a nail.

Hey, ladies. Everybody, bring it in.

I got some bad news.

What's going on?

I was just on with the people
from the Houston Invitational.

It seems they're leaning
towards uninviting us

from the tournament.

This last-minute? Why?

Uh, who knows?

Probably 'cause they're scared
we're gonna mop the floor

with them again like we did last year.

It's 'cause of me, isn't it?

They don't want FireFox there.

Given everything that's happened,

they feel like it would be
insensitive to the woman

who lost her husband for you to compete.

- That's ridiculous.
- Of course it is.

Which is why we're withdrawing.

I'm the captain of this team.

Nobody tells me who can
lace up for the Annihilators.

Unless I'm around.

Well, then so be it.

Look, you saved my life
on the rink that day.

My arm was a spaghetti
noodle when I met you.

I'm with Tonya. If
they try to cancel you,

they'll have to cancel all of us.

Yeah. Ride or die, bitches.

Look, uh,

you all are so awesome.

I'm don't want to ruin
this for everybody, so...

call them back, Julie, and
tell them I'm stepping down.

Charles, this filet

was beyond, right?

Man, that's for real.

- What-What's in your sauce?
- Oh, uh...

smoked hickory, white
vinegar and jackfruit.

I don't know what a jackfruit is,

but you can consider me a fan.

Well, it's a pulpy fruit,
uh, native to India.

Known for its sweet and savory flavors.

Come on, Charles.

Charles is thinking about
putting it on the menu.

Oh, okay, you said menu. What menu?

Oh, did we not mention we had news?

- Do they ever?
- No.

What happened, y'all?

Well, uh, I was approached
by some investors.

And now that indoor dining is back,

they want to re-open the restaurant.

Ah...

Congratulations.

- That's amazing, y'all.
- Thank you, thank you.

I mean, it's still a little early.

And there's a lot to
figure out, like, um,

well, who's gonna watch the girls.

Listen, we are always down to babysit.

Right?

Don't look like that. Say...

- yes, we are.
- Yeah, well, you say that now,

chica, but, you know, very
soon you're gonna have

your own little one to chase around.

Well, I'm just happy
to be off the walker,

so I say bring it on.

Give it to me, I'm ready.

Well, listen, it has been a minute,

but it feels like...

I don't know, it feels like
we're all coming to the end

- of a long, dark tunnel, yeah?
- Yes.

Mm, yeah.

- Well, not-not all of us.
- Mm.

Oh, well, um, yeah, Judd's
been a little worried

about Captain Strand.

Is this about him reporting that arson?

'Cause I heard the AFD investigator

was there interviewing him today.

So... how'd that go?

Let's just say it-it wasn't
the captain's finest hour.

You think he's chasing ghosts?

Lately, he's been a little, uh...

... unmoored.

I mean, can you blame him?

I mean, he lost

the love of his life. And his baby.

And his job, for the time being.

You know, a guy like Owen

really needs that purpose

to drive him,

whether it's real or not.

You, uh, find everything you need?

We'll see.

And I can relate to him.

Me too. Being stuck

around the house all the time?
Sometimes you feel like

you're gonna lose your mind.

I just don't want the cap

falling off the deep end.

Mm.

You know, I don't-don't
think we have to worry

about Captain Strand too much.

One thing we do know

is the man's not crazy.

Alligator char. Only way
to get the scales that shiny

- is accelerant.
- You did use accelerant.

Yeah, yeah, and it matches exactly

what I saw in the textile factory.

Remember when you told me
listening to that emergency app

couldn't be good for my mental health?

I believe you proved yourself right.

I'm gonna get another beer.

Look, I know this sounds crazy,
but in the past six months,

there have been at least eight
mysterious electrical fires

all over Texas.

There's a warehouse in Round Rock,

a paper mill in Lubbock,
a feed store in Galveston.

All targets full of fuel.

Each miraculously started in off-hours

or during a holiday when
there's nobody in the building.

Except for them cleaners
the other night.

Yeah, but they were two hours
late. They weren't supposed

to be there when the fire started.

Okay, come on. If there
was any meat on this bone,

- don't you think somebody would have taken a bite already?
- Okay.

If the guy mixed the accelerant

with a diluted substance like I did,

then the dogs would miss it.

And if he tampered with
the wiring of an appliance,

it could still be sitting out there.

Nobody'd even notice it.

Okay, but this whole
cock-and-bull theory

depends on that appliance
shorting out, right?

Circuit breakers in those places...

they'd trip the circuit long
before that could ever happen.

Unless he switched one out

with a counterfeit, like I did.

Here's the circuit breaker,
that's the real one.

That's what it looks like on the inside.

And this is a counterfeit.

There'd be no way to stop a surge.

An accident waiting to happen.

All right, let me ask you something.

Why are you telling me all this, hmm?

And not Investigator Raymond?

'Cause I don't want him to
think I went around the bend

if I'm wrong.

God forbid.

You probably don't want him to take away

your new little pastime, either, huh?

We just need some proof before we go.

We? Oh, it's "we" now, is it?

I'm sorry I assumed you'd be interested

in catching a serial arsonist.

Look, if any one of these buildings

has a counterfeit switch
in the circuit breaker,

that's the smoking gun.

And how do you propose we get to them?

How do you think?

Breaking and entering. Hmm?

The places are abandoned and burnt out.

It's still private property.

Really?

When did you become
such a choirboy, Billy?

I'm fighting stage III cancer here.

If we get caught,

I lose my health, pension.

Sorry, New York.

You gonna do this, you're on your own.

♪ FireFox, you-you should
be ashamed of yourself ♪

- ♪ G-Guilty ♪
- ♪ Be-be ashamed of yourself ♪

♪ You care more about likes
than people's l-lives ♪

- ♪ Going-going down ♪
- ♪ FireFox, you go down ♪

- That's great.

New remix only has, like,
three million likes so far.

Marj, you got to stop
watching that stuff

before you give yourself
a rage-induced aneurysm

- or something.
- I'm not even angry.

Last night I was laying
in bed and it hit me.

- What if she's right?
- Right about what?

That I'm a showboat, and deep down,

all I really care about is the likes.

Come on, step off the ledge.

- All right? That's crazy talk.
- Is it?

Because I never miss a chance
to get in the limelight.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying

a little love from the fans.

Doesn't make you a bad
person or a bad firefighter.

But what if the only reason
I chose this career

was because I knew it'd be
a great way to get attention?

And it has been.

I mean, how else would I be
getting DMs from Cardi B?

You don't get no DMs from Cardi B.

You get DMs from Cardi B?

Yeah.

Every now and then for
the last couple years.

Okay.

Come on, listen to me. I am that person.

Let me ask you something.

If you could trade places
with McKenna's husband,

so that you went down and
he lived, would you do it?

In a heartbeat.

That is who you are.

All right? And you respond
to every call the same way

whether there's a camera around or not.

It just kills me that with
one dumb comment,

I made this nightmare
even worse for McKenna.

I wish I could just explain
to her that in no way

did it pull our focus from the rescue.

May-Maybe I should.

No. That is a bad idea, Marjan.

Yep. You're probably right.

Yo, Marj.

Wait up.

You followed me here?

Didn't need to. I knew you'd come here.

How?

Because I know who you are.

Then you know you're not gonna stop me.

I'm not here to stop you.

I'm here to have your back.

And to be an impartial witness
in case this goes sideways.

Uh, McKenna? Are you in there?

Hey, it's-it's Marjan.

I'd love to talk if you
have a second. Please.

Maybe she's not home?

I can hear music and her car's there.

Listen, I know that I am
the last person in the world

you want to hear from right now,

but I want you to know that I'm sorry

- for causing you more pain than...
- Hey, Marj. Hey.

She just posted this,
like, ten minutes ago.

"I'm so sorry you guys,
I'll miss all of you,

but I'll miss Brady more"?

- That sounds like goodbye.
- Yeah.

McKenna?

McKenna, are you in there?

We need you to open the door right now.

McKenna?

Screw it.

- McKenna?
- Hello?

- Are you here? Hello?
- McKenna?

You here?

McKenna?

Oh, no, no, no, no. McKenna!

Call 911! McKenna!

- McKenna, can you hear me?
- Marjan, help me

- hold her arms up. Yeah.
- Yeah. Arm up.

Come on, McKenna, open your
eyes. She's not responsive.

Okay, EMS is en route.

Does she still have a pulse?

Yeah, but it's weak.

We're putting pressure on the wound,

- but we can't stop the bleeding.
- Okay, I need you

to raise her arms above her heart.

Yeah, we're already doing that.

- It's not working.
- Are the cuts on her wrists horizontal

- or vertical?
- They're vertical.

They go all the way down to her elbow.

Okay, that's, uh, too much
to compress by hand.

Uh, we need to create
a pressure dressing.

- Do you have any duct tape around?
- No, this isn't our house.

Check the kitchen. See if there's any

plastic wrap of any kind.

- Okay.
- Yeah, yeah.

McKenna!

We're finishing the wrapping now.

Bleeding's definitely slowing.

Great work, just keep going.

She's turning blue. She's not breathing.

No pulse. Starting compressions.

Pulse check.

- Come on, McKenna.
- All right, EMS

- is arriving at your location now.
- McKenna!

That's it, girl. Come back!

Hey, we got a pulse.
It's weak, but it's there.

We'll take it from here, guys.

Start a line, run it wide open.

She gonna make it?

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, thank God.

Thank FireFox, more like.

I follow you on Insta.

You'll probably get an endorsement deal

from the plastic wrap company.

No, I was never here. You never saw me.

Sure, but the doorbell cam did,
and there's gonna be paperwork.

That's fine. Just don't
post about it, okay?

Nobody else out there needs to know.

That's a shame.

Because this was clutch.
You saved her life.

You hear that? He said
you're a lifesaver.

Because that is who you are.

It's who we are.

- Hola.
- Carlitos.

Mi amor.

- Hey, TK.
- Good to see you, son.

Ah, you both look so handsome.

Thank you very much.

- I'm sorry that we're running behind.
- Oh, nonsense.

We are here early.

His father insisted on
ordering the car 30 minutes

- ahead of time.
- Well, you never know about those rideshares.

Sometimes they dawdle.

Oh, and TK, I owe you an apology.

That day we met at the
market, I called you TJ.

No, it's-it's okay. It's,
uh, it's an easy mistake.

That our son should have corrected.

- Mm.
- Oh,

don't worry, Mr. Reyes, we,
we had a conversation about it.

- Didn't we, Carlos?
- Yes, we did.

So what can we get you to drink?

- I wouldn't say no to a margarita.
- Ooh.

- ¿Dos? Yeah?
- Yes. Yes.

Yes, yes.

- Mrs. Reyes, please.
- Thank you.

Oh, my God.

I forgot about the limes.

How could I forget the limes?

Pull yourself out of
the shame spiral, Carlos.

It's no big deal.

Dad, are you on your way?

No, no, I have a-an errand
I need to run real quick first.

Could you please pick up some limes?

Yeah. Sure, I can do
that. Anything else?

Nope, that's it. Crisis averted.

All right, I'll see you soon.

Okay, son.

Alligator char.

I got you, you son of a bitch.
