[upbeat music playing]

[Dani sighs]

- You ready? - Yep.

Look, we beat everybody here. Scotty's gonna be impressed.

That's right.

You know, I barely slept last night.

Thinking about how unfair this whole Griffin situation is.

We are gonna out-hustle and out-work Griffin.

- He doesn't stand a chance. - Mm-mm.

- Yeah. Let's get to work. - Sure.

- Yeah. Let's get to work. - Sure.

[Upbeat music]

If we're more present, we can get more contracts.

[Marcos] Hey, boss.

Finished these for you.

[Chief] Ah! Perfect! Thanks.

[Marcos] Hey, um, what are these for, anyway?

These are for my secret leaderboard.

So I know which hound is winning the race.

[chuckles]

Shh.

Did you do that with us?

Hmm?

Who's hungry? I got some Slim Jims.

- [Marcos] That's a yes. - How long you been doing this?

No, it's good for ya. You can have it with coffee...

- Don't run from the question. - [Chief] I age these on purpose.

[Dani] You can do it!

- [Tim] I can't concentrate. - This isn't a library.

- [Tim] How was that? - Your best so far.

Ooh! Let's go!

All right. You're up next.

- OK. - The next...

- mystery box. - [both chuckle]

I can barely handle the suspense.

Three, two, one...

Go!

OK.

This goes in there.

Uh...

Suture...

Oh! Where does 18 gauge go?

- Middle drawer of the kit. - Yes! I knew that. I knew that.

OK. OK.

Then...

[giggles]

I love it.

You said you wanted to go to Hawaii.

You are the best archrival I've ever had.

- OK. What's my time? Tell me. - [squeals]

[sucks air]

Four seconds better than your best time.

- [both cheer] - [Dani laughs]

Um...

Uh, sorry. Uh... Got...

- I wasn't trying... - It's fine. Don't worry.

You know. I was really...

- I was happy for you. - It was my personal best.

- Yeah. So we can... - Whoo!

You can just...

You can forget that that ever happened.

For sure. For sure.

It's one of my favorite things to do.

Yeah.

- So, do I get to keep it? - What?

Oh, ye... Yeah. Of course. But, um...

Take good care of it though. It's a family heirloom.

- Goes back five generations. - Mm.

Well, I am so honored.

[both chuckle]

- I'm gonna go now. - Yeah. Yes.

Do what you gotta... do.

- [door opens] - [Liz] Yeah, we haven't had...

[sighs] Nice one, Tim. Nice.

Oh! In your face!

- Boo-ya! - [Marcos] Lost in the '90s, bro.

Still the undisputed champion of Speed Connect!

Ey-o!

Oh, what is this?

- Donuts for everybody. - [all cheer]

Griffin's 15 minutes late.

"If you're five minutes early, you're late."

I wonder what Scotty will do to him.

I got you these old fashioned chocolate

- that you like. - What about that.

Just like on that fishing trip with your old man.

Scotty didn't say a thing.

[indistinct conversation]

Looks like my personal best isn't even going to matter.

I am hungrier than a tick on a teddy bear.

- What are we gonna do? - Get voted off the island.

[Griffin] Good. There? OK. OK.

You know, on those shows,

the winners always form alliances.

We should do that.

[Andy] I like that.

I'm down.

We were here first, right?

Right.

I mean, we earned it.

We didn't ask for any help from "Daddy Fire Chief."

I'd rather one of us get it than him.

I can't stand nepotism.

That's a big word.

Wish I knew what it meant. What up, fam?

Donut?

I prefer cupcakes.

Noted. Timmy?

It's Tim.

Running late today?

Nah, one is never tardy bringing tasty treats.

Actually, I should save seconds for them.

You know, just in case.

Besides, you probably don't want one anyways, do ya?

Isn't a griffin a bird head and a goat body, or something?

Head of an eagle, wings of an eagle,

- body of a lion. - Oh.

Symbols of strength and courage.

Think it rubbed off on me a little bit.

- You do look like a bird. - [gasps]

Ouch.

It's OK. Under the pressure of competition,

the insecure resort to petty insults.

I'll let you know if I've got any leftovers, Timmy.

It's still Tim.

Coming around with seconds. Who wants another donut?

- Oh, my man. - [Marcos] Right here.

- [Liz] New favorite rookie. - [Marcos] My man.

[all chat indistinctly]

[Griffin] I got a fresh pot of coffee brewing.

French press from Mr. Bench Press.

- Ooh. - [Liz chuckles]

I'm gonna go do some right now.

- [alarm sounds] - [dispatch] County Rescue.

Code Three. Adult male found in a dumpster.

Non-responsive. More info provided en route.

Marcos, you and Duke got this one.

- Taking my donuts. - [Liz] Be safe, boys.

- Taking my donuts. - [Liz] Be safe, boys.

[siren blares]

[suspenseful music playing]

[music fades]

[music fades]

Hey, um...

Sorry about my comment earlier.

About the bird.

Wasn't my finest moment.

Oh, it's all good. It never bothered me, but...

apology accepted.

Can be intimidating when you face

a highly skilled opponent.

Intimidating.

We should get to know each other.

Like, outside of work.

Do something fun the next day we have off.

- Not gonna happen. - Just as friends though.

Nothing romantic about it.

At least not on my end.

Nor mine.

I just broke off an engagement.

So...

I'm sorry to hear that.

Plus, I'm not going to break Chief's rules.

Impressive.

Scotty does love it when you follow his rules.

Anyways, just extending an olive branch.

You know, maybe ease some of the tension around here.

And you're invited too. We should all hang out.

Go see a good band.

Have some fun.

No time for that.

Uh...

Chief. Hey, uh...

Can I study some old reports to see how they're best done?

You trying to be a teacher's pet, Miller?

No, sir. Just want to perfect my paperwork.

Knock yourself out.

Ashley and Duke's reports are the pick of the litter.

Ah, thanks.

Do your library time after you and Tim...

go get lunch for everybody.

- Should Griffin come too? - No. You two can handle it.

- Yes, sir. - Scoot.

Thanks.

Griffin brings donuts and that's not sucking up,

but the minute I want to learn something new

he accuses me of being the teacher's pet.

Don't let Griffin get you off your game.

You have to focus on what you can control.

You're right. You're right.

I can't let it bother me.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

[Dani sighs]

If it makes you feel any better,

he didn't let me get a donut.

[chuckles] Let's see it.

Oh, gosh.

Your order will be ready in a few minutes.

- Thank you. - Thanks so much.

OK. OK.

So, after we take down Griffin...

How are we gonna decide which one of us gets the job?

- That's a tough one. - Mm-hmm.

On those reality shows,

it always goes to the one with the biggest sob story.

Oh, definitely, and you just broke off an engagement.

- That's a good one. - Mm. Not bad, not bad.

[gasps] But what about you?

You didn't get to go to med school.

Oh, and my father passed away right before I graduated.

- Cancer. - Oh, that's really good.

- Mm-hmm. - OK.

And we, you know, never had much money,

moved here from Eastern Europe, had to support my mom

because she didn't know English very well.

OK. OK. Immigrant family, first generation American...

- Well, even better. - Yeah.

You can't rack up 212 grand in debt

and have no income for eight years

and still take care of Mom.

That's very specific.

Is this sob story true?

100%.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

Um... [sighs]

I think...

God knew what He was doing, protecting me

from a long path leading to something

that I didn't want.

When I volunteered at the hospital,

I never liked waiting for people to come to us,

I liked going to them.

Being the very first person to help someone when they...

needed it the most.

Yeah.

Yeah, I, um...

I like that what we do makes a difference.

So...

How exactly did you hear from God?

Calling you into this?

It's not all that exciting.

It doesn't need to be exciting.

[gentle music playing]

Well...

I'd just quit a job and...

my parents were all over me about it.

I mean, it's not like I'm trying to disappoint them

and not live up to my potential.

Anyway, I was, uh...

at church.

Praying about it.

And I was asking God...

what the deal is with me.

Asking Him who I am.

And then I heard these words.

"First in times of need...

rescuer."

And I can't really describe it.

It wasn't, like, exactly words, but...

I could hear it in my heart.

I know it's weird. Sorry. I...

I didn't meant to get that deep into it.

I think it's really cool that you heard from God.

Ever since, I've, um...

been pursuing that goal.

Even though my family doesn't get it.

They think I'm crazy.

You should definitely get the job.

I agree.

You should probably just quit now.

March into Scotty's office and...

- OK. - Eight burritos with sides to go.

Thank y'all so much for coming in. See y'all soon.

- Thank you. - Appreciate your 'alls patience.

Of course.

Nice.

About time.

Hey, guys. How was it?

It was our Frequent Flyer Frank.

- That homeless guy? - [Marcos] Yeah.

He passed out in a dumpster.

A poor busboy called it in thinking he was dead.

That's tough, man.

I'm just glad it was on a slow day.

Yeah. Finally have the time to sit down and eat properly.

- [alarm sounds] - [dispatch] Rescue Two.

Please respond. Code Three.

Traffic accident potentially involving a minor. PD en route.

- With a minor? - [Chief] Liz, Duke,

since Tim's so curious, he's riding along.

On it, Chief.

Yep, yep-yep-yep-yep-yep.

- Attaboy. - [chuckles]

[Chief] Sauce?

- You eat when I say you can eat. - [Chief and Andy chuckle]

- There you go. - Thank you.

- Sorry. - [alarm sounds]

[dispatch] County Rescue. Please respond. Code Two.

Injured adult male. Details en route.

Ashley, take Dani with ya.

Be strong, keep your cool,

- and... - ...serve well.

Will do, Chief.

Well, I might as well join you boys.

[siren blares]

[dramatic music playing]

OK.

[man] Sorry to have to call you guys.

Everett was acting confused

and... he hit the ground pretty hard.

I think he fainted.

- Think you got this one? - Yeah. Sure.

- OK. - Hey, there, sir.

Dani here's gonna take good care of you.

Can you tell me your name? Tell me what happened?

Name's Everett.

And I was out here today. It was really hot.

I got hot and I got a little bit dizzy.

And so I fell over.

I think when I did that I might have hurt my ankle.

I heard a pop.

Um, do you have any heart condition

- that we should be aware of? - Mm-mm.

Have you had enough water today?

[Everett] Uh, I don't know. Probably not.

OK, um... Rapid pulse.

Check for rashes.

Heat exhaustion?

Never had anything like this before.

We need to cool your temperature down a bit, Everett.

Um, I'm gonna get you a cool pack

and then we'll get you to the hospital

for heat exhaustion and dehydration.

They'll probably do an X-ray of your ankle...

- [phone vibrates] - ...while you're there.

I'll immobilize it for the time being.

- OK. - [phone vibrates]

I'll be 50 feet away if you've got a question.

You can handle getting his temp down?

Yeah. Yeah. Cool packs to the back of the neck

- and under the arms? - You got it.

Hey, Marcos.

[Marcos] Hey, sorry. I know you're on a call,

but Chief is out and Andy's not here.

I've got a patient with a second-degree burn

along the cheek. Close to the nose.

The hospital burn unit is on diversion.

- Should I take them in? - Yeah.

Go ahead and take them on in.

I know someone there. I'll make a call.

[cool pack crinkles]

I'm gonna get a gurney so we can get you to the hospital.

Oh, hey. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

[Everett groans]

Almost there.

[suspenseful music playing]

- [clatters] - [groans]

Yeah, they're expecting you guys, so...

Yeah. Just head over and they'll be there waiting for you.

[whirring]

[Everett groans]

Hey, uh, is everything all right?

Yeah. Just need to get it a bit higher, I think.

- You think? - [Dani exhales]

No, I got it now.

[whirring]

[tense music playing]

[clanking]

[Dani groans]

- [cries out] - [gasps]

[groans in pain]

[groans]

Gotta go. Call you later.

[groans]

[Dani panting]

Sir, don't move, OK?

She threw me right under that thing.

- Does anything hurt? - [groans in pain]

- My shoulder. - OK.

I'm going to give you a quick once over

before we get you back up there.

Oh. Ow.

I'm so sorry.

[Everett groans in pain]

What was that?

I wanted to have us ready to go.

You never load a patient alone.

I'm so sorry. I was just trying to help.

I know. Be careful when serving others

turns into serving yourself.

As much as I'd love to pretend this didn't happen,

I've got to tell Chief.

Come on. You're driving.

[Chief] You can't even handle a basic life support call!

I'm up to my neck in paperwork!

This birdbrain stunt might just get us sued.

I'm so sorry, Chief. I thought--

[Chief] You thought wrong.

Get out of here and get your paperwork done.

It was almost 300 pounds.

It's possible the latch didn't catch. I didn't see it.

That does not negate the fact she acted alone.

We were all eager to prove ourselves at one time.

I don't know, maybe give her some grace.

She's got great bedside manner.

[sighs]

- Yo. - Hey, 'sup?

How'd it go?

Family had a nasty car accident.

Duke ran it perfectly and the rookie did good.

Two little kids in bad shape. [sighs]

But we got them to the hospital. They'll recover.

I'll say a prayer for 'em.

Duke, I was gonna make that mac and cheese you like.

You want some? Some comfort food?

Nah. Not hungry.

Dude, you all right?

Yeah. Just another call.

[indistinct chatter]

You OK?

It was intense.

How about you?

[sighs] Not great.

What happened?

I don't wanna rehash it.

OK. Well...

Get some rest. Who knows what tonight will hold?

Yeah. Well, I'm going to finish this report.

- It's gonna take me a while. - OK.

Cool.

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

[sighs]

- Hi. - Hey.

Just, uh, getting a towel.

OK.

[winch whirs]

- [grunts] - [winch whirs]

- [grunts] - [winch whirs]

[Dani sighs]

- [whirs] - Hey!

Be quiet in there. People are trying to sleep.

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[exhales]

[sighs]

Your midnight workout game is strong.

Just leave me alone. I'm not in the mood for your commentary.

What are you doing?

My penance.

You know you don't have to do that, right?

Huh, well...

It's the only place I can get away from Liz

giving me the evil eye.

- That makes sense. - Mm.

Besides, I hate letting people down.

I know the feeling.

I'm never good enough for my own father.

Huh. You too?

Hmm. We can start a club.

Wait.

I pictured you as, like, the perfect daughter.

Daddy's favorite.

[Dani] Far from.

I am an epic fail in their eyes.

Well, they're missing out. You work hard.

I think you're gonna be a great EMT.

And I'm sorry about that guy falling off the gurney.

I'm sure that wasn't your fault.

It was.

I was trying to do too much.

Oh, well...

If there's anything I can do to help,

provide evil eye protective glasses or something.

[both chuckle]

And the invitation is still open, by the way,

for a non-fraternizing evening of fun.

Get your mind a thousand miles away

from cardiac monitors, CPR, and...

gurneys that tip over.

Nice try.

But...

I'm still following Scotty's rules.

Copy that, Miller.

I read you loud and clear.

[gentle music playing]

Enjoy the, uh, penance.

Mm.

Getting intel? On the enemy?

You know, maybe Griffin's not so bad.

Not after you get past his first impression.

Do I need to be worried about our alliance?

No, no. Not at all.

You're still my favorite archrival.

Cool. Um...

I'm gonna... get some water.

- Before I go to bed. So... - OK.

- Yeah, cool. - Good night.

Good night.

[muffled yelling and panting]

[muffled panting and yelling]

- [cries out] - Yo, Duke.

Hey! Wake up! Wake up, man!

[breathes heavily]

Bro, I thought you were gonna fall off the cot.

[breathes heavily]

Bro, was that a nightmare?

Oh, no. I was... I was running.

You wanna talk about it?

[breathes deeply]

Ah. It was just a bad dream, man.

It's just... It's over now.

[Duke breathes heavily]

Hey, listen, man.

We've been doing this together for ten years.

I've never seen you like this.

So if you wanna talk, man, I'm here.

Sometimes you just gotta get these calls off your back.

I told you I met with that first responder counselor?

It was good, man. You just--

Look, I said I'm fine!

Just leave me be so I can relax.

[tense music playing]

All right.

[music fades]

[birds chirping]

[tender music playing]

[music fades]

- [door closes] - [woman] Hey, babe.

Good morning. Or good night.

Hey.

I thought your shift ended two hours ago.

I was getting worried.

[sighs]

Just need to decompress before I come home.

Oh, was it a tough shift?

I don't want to get into it.

- Can't you just tell me a... - [children shouting]

Daddy, can you play magnetic tiles with me?

Not now, Kayla.

Daddy, look at this cut I got from the play set.

Mommy put spicy water on it and it stings real bad.

It'll be fine.

Now, let Daddy rest and we'll play a game tonight.

You always say that and we never do.

Daddy, can you come to my piano recital?

What piano recital?

She's been taking lessons for three months.

- I told you this. - No, you didn't.

Can I play my piece for you?

[mother] Uh... girls, not now. Leave your dad alone.

He needs to rest. He's going to bed soon.

I don't like when you come home late.

I just need to unwind.

You never used to need that.

Can you at least tell me what you need to unwind from?

Or anything?

It's just work.

People get hurt. I was trying to help.

What else do you need to know?

Seriously?

You can't even try?

After you don't come home, with no idea where you go

or what you do...

I need home to be home and work to stay at work.

And I need more than that.

Like a husband I can connect with.

Why can't you just tell me how you're doing?

You wouldn't understand.

- Try me. - [sighs] Tiff!

Why do you always have to hound me

after a long day of work?

Why can't you just leave me alone?

It's impossible being in a relationship with you.

I'm out here busting it. Serving the community.

Trying to save some lives.

And you don't appreciate it.

All I want...

is for every once in a while

you to care about your family as much as you do the community.

You will run out and save anybody who calls 911,

but there's an emergency here, in this house.

You barely speak to the girls anymore.

You talk to me even less.

I can't handle that anymore.

We need a father and a husband around here

or I'm done.

[somber music playing]

Oh, you're done, huh?

Maybe.

I know it's hard out there, but you lost your joy.

Something is seriously wrong with you.

I am perfectly fine.

Other than you threatening to run off.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I...

I'm just trying to help you.

To have you share things with me.

To be part of your life.

So you wanna know when I do everything perfectly?

And some kid still dies on my watch?

Yes, I do.

- No, you don't. - Yeah, I do.

No, you don't!

[Duke sighs]

[knocking on door]

[music fades]

- Hi! - Hi!

We were in the neighborhood, thought we'd drop by.

Uh, OK. I... Well, I was asleep.

Sorry.

- Hmm. - I made memory bins.

OK. I filled this with some of your old yearbooks,

your trophies, some school assignments...

I just didn't want to throw anything out

in case you wanted to keep it.

Oh, adulting has officially begun.

So, how's work going?

Saved any lives yet?

Oh, yeah. Tons.

Uh... I'm just a grunt right now.

- Oh. - You gotta pay your dues.

[Lisa] You OK?

Hey, are you using that moisturizer that I gave you?

I just woke up after a shift, Mom.

OK. Well...

how can we help support you during this time?

Um...

My last shift didn't go so well.

I made a mistake...

loading a patient into the ambulance.

Um... But I'm working on it.

You sure you're cut out for this?

This bin is full of straight-A report cards.

- You have so much potential. - Is this your idea of support?

All right. I'm sorry.

I just need to figure out a way to dig myself out of this hole.

OK. Well, sometimes circumstances

have a way of showing us our fate.

One door closes so another door can open.

I'm not sure I'd want you loading me into an ambulance.

OK, um, you know what? I actually have plans to go out tonight.

How fun.

- I need to get ready. - OK.

- We'll see ourselves out. - Oh!

Don't forget we are getting together for your Dad's birthday.

OK. Can't wait.

I love you!

Bye!

[door closes]

[sighs]
