Copy your mayday, firefighter.

What's going on out there?

Propane tanker's
about to blow!

-Hey! Get back!
-Marj!

Marj!

Firefighter Marwani,
do you copy?

Ladder 126, do you copy?

Engine 126.

Do you copy?

Captain Strand, do you copy?

Cap!

Are you okay?!

Yeah!

Yeah, I'm good.

Marjan.

Where's Marjan?

Marjan!

Where's Marwani?

Yeah, I'm here.

I'm okay, Cap.

Okay, let's check each other
for shrapnel wounds.

You might not feel it.

We good?

Yeah, you're good, Cap.

Okay.

Where's our H2O?

The supply lines burst

a few seconds
before the explosion.

-Marjan.
-Yeah.

Restart the supply lines.

Strickland, get on
the radio dispatch,

tell them we have
multiple firefighters down.

Mateo, you and I
are gonna go help with triage.

Copy that.

What the heck?

Uh, Cap. I think
I found your shrapnel injury.

Dispatch, we have a problem.

We have an 18,000-gallon
tanker car spewing chlorine gas

out of a three-foot crack
at 600 psi.

In the simplest terms,

think of this
as a poisonous cloud of death.

Dispatcher Harris
has been coordinating

with the National
Weather Service.

Wyatt.

This is a tap
of their live feed.

The winds are currently
blowing 2.5 knots

to the north-northwest.

Firefighters already evacuated

Bellmore Community College
right by the tracks.

Which means
the next biggest threat

is to the community
of Forest Glen,

which lies directly
in the cloud's path.

As you can see, um,

there's a number of
businesses and residences,

including an elementary school,
a hospital, and nursing home.

Which means we need
to start reverse 9-1-1

to evacuate them now.

Let's move, people!

Alright, Judd,
I'm really gonna put you

to the test this time.

Okay, I want you
to downshift to four

and take that
tight right up ahead.

Yes, sir.

Not bad.

But not great?

You were a little slow
on the draw

on your turn signal.

I'm used to having my siren on.

Well, nobody's perfect.

Alright, now we're coming up
to a stale red, so downshift.

Check the left. Check the right.

What in the hell is that?

Mr. Bradford, you switch
that CB over to 851, please?

Okay, what channel is that?

That's fire command.

Forest Glen
is now a level-five hazmat.

Multiple 129 injuries.

All available units respond.

What's that mean?

Means we need to make a detour.

As long as the sock's
blowing north, we're upwind.

It changes at all,
full SCBAs for everybody.

Fireman Martinez,
what's the status on rescue?

APD and the 129 are moving
anybody who can walk.

Waiting on ambulances
for the wounded.

-Who does that leave?
-Just us.

We gotta fill that hole.

With what, though?

We need a pliable,
airtight material,

custom fit to the size
of that fissure.

Yeah, not to mention
a plate of steel
to hold it in place.

We got a whole train
full of goods.

Let's spread out,
see what we can find.

Hey, Cap,
rescue units are arriving,

so at least there's that.

Let's hope
they get everybody out
before the wind changes.

I need you to load up
the red zone patients first.

After that, the yellows.
Two patients per bus.

Patient's in critical
but stable condition.

Shrapnel wound, upper thorax.

We gave him 0.3 mils of epi.

-0.5 morphine.
-Alright, we got it.

Cap, hold the bus!
We got another critical!

Keep that one empty!

Firefighter,
where'd he come from?

We found him between
some shipping containers
after the blast.

No idea what he was doing there.

He's media.

I think he was
looking for a scoop.

Pupil dilation is uneven.

Airway's clear, but his
breathing's kinda shallow.

Sounds like blast injuries.
Did you palpate his abdomen?

Not yet.

-Hey, hey, hey, hey.
-Trina!

I need you to be
still, alright, sir?

You're severely injured.

Trina.
Where's, where's Trina?

Who's Trina?

Hello?

Anthony, what's going on?

Did Jason and Craig do this?

I saw them talking to him
on the playground.

No, it wasn't them.

The m-m-monster did it.

Oh, honey, it's okay
to tell us if they did.

Monsters aren't real.

They are so. It burned me!

Get the nurse.
I'll call 9-1-1.

There you go.

Hello?

Hi, this is Wyatt Harris.

I'm calling from 9-1-1.

9-1-1?
I was about to call you.

I have a child who just came in

with some kind of burn
on his wrist.

I've never seen
anything like it.

His skin doesn't
happen to look red

with oily blisters
and white lesions, does it?

- Yes. How did you know?
- That's why I'm calling.

A cloud of chlorine gas
was just released

by a derailed train
two miles from your school.

It's about 18 minutes away,

but it's headed
in your direction.

Oh, my God.

Uh, but if it's that far away,

then how does
he already have a burn?

- I'm not sure, ma'am.
- This isn't an exact science.

But, we've contacted
your district

to send buses
to begin an evacuation.

Firefighters should be
on the scene soon.

And I'm sending an ambulance
to assist your student.

But don't let him touch his eyes
or his nose or his mouth.

Okay?
The burn could spread.

Okay. Thank you.

Attention.
Crockett Elementary staff,

this is Principal Crabtree.

Please line up your students
and walk them single file

to the bus circle
for immediate evacuation.

This is not a drill.

Alright. Let's get him on O2.
Keep the sats up.

Firefighter, keep pressure
on that wound

all the way to the ER.

West Park
knows you're inbound.

Good luck.

Okay.

Cap!

Last of the greens
are with the 124 rig.

Triage is officially
closed for business.

Good job, everyone.

Whew!

Damn it.

Everything okay, Cap?

Uh, it's just my girls
have the day off from school,

it's a teacher
in-service thing.

I just need to find someone
who's gonna look after them

while we're dealing
with this situation.

And Mrs. Beasely's out of town,

and Judd,
Judd's on some job thing.

You know,
you could always call...

No, no,
I can't always call Trevor.

Hey, don't sweat it, Cap.

I know the perfect guy for you.

Rescue 126, do you copy?

This is Captain Vega.
Go ahead.

I need you to respond to
Crockett Elementary right away.

Uh, negative.

We are the last
rescue unit on site.

We can't leave here.

I understand that,
Captain Vega,

but I got a boy
with chemical burns

in the middle
of an evacuation zone.

Copy that. We're on our way.

-How'd we do?
-Good. Looks like
they got everything

off the shopping list.

- And this is the seal?
- Yep.

There was a car full of rebar
and construction metals.

Three-by-five
polycarbonate steel.

Like we ordered it
from the factory.

Everybody suit up.

We're gonna wrap the car
with the chains,

I'll do the seal.

Captain, the city sent in suits
from emergency management.

They want you
in the command tent.

Tell 'em I'm a little busy.

They ain't asking.

Alright. I need a volunteer.

Let me be clear, this will
not get you the lieutenant job.

-I'll do it.
-Put me in, coach.

Uh-oh, Cap's gotta choose.

-One or two?
-One.

Marwani, you're up.
It's two.

Alright, that's as close
as we get to airtight.

Marwani, our PPE's
aren't designed

to stand up to chlorine gas.

It starts leaking,
you holler.

It gets too intense,
we abort, are we clear?

Crystal, Cap.

Good luck, Marwani.

Here's the chain. The chain!

Chains are in place.

Thank you.

Mateo, the mat!

Here it comes.

Alright,
see any leaks, Mateo?

No, you're good.

Okay, hand up the plate.

Alright, hand up the plate.

Just gotta line it up with
the curve to protect the seal.

Alright, Cap, it's in place.

Alright, start winching, Paul.

Copy that, Cap.

Hey, hey!
Plate's slipping. Hold on!

That's too much exposure.
Come down.

No, I got it, Cap!

My gear's holding up!

I said stand down.

And I said I got it!

Damn it.

Captain,
where you going?

Take me to the site.

Tighten the belt! Do it!

Come on!

- Alright, Marjan, it's set.
- Now, get down! Now!

Now, that was all-time, Marj!

Well, that was
a hell of a stunt.

You should feel thankful
you pulled it off.

About that, Cap.

When I said my gear
was holding up...

I lied.

Hey, Evie.

No, you're Izzy, aren't you?

Yeah...?

I'm not sure if you
remember me, but I'm Carlos.

I'm a friend of your mom's.

Um, I babysat you
a couple of years ago.

Yeah, from
the dust storm, right?

Listen, there's nothing
to worry about,

but your mom's gonna
be stuck at work

for a little while longer.

We know,
the train derailment.

Reverend Parks told us.

Reverend Parks?

Hey, Carlos.

- I haven't seen you
since the wedding.
- Right.

- How's it going?
- Good, good.

This is my daughter, Melody.

Hi, Melody.
Nice to meet you.

Hi. You're fine.

Uh, thank you.

Uh, sorry. Trevor.

Uh, I didn't realize
you guys were here.

I think Tommy
may have double-booked us.

Girls, why don't you
go finish your homework?

Do we have to?
Last time Carlos was here,

we got to paint his nails.

- For real?
- For real.

There'll be
plenty of time for that

after we make the pizzas.

But only if you get
your algebra done.

Trevor, what's going on?

Tommy didn't really
ask me to babysit.

She's actually not speaking
to me at the moment,

but I knew the girls would
need someone to watch them,

so I came.

Which, technically,

I suppose
you could say is trespassing.

Technically, it's kidnaping.

Huh.

You're the expert.

Do me a favor, though.
If you have to arrest me,

just wait until
their mom gets home.

Deal.

But this time,
they're painting your nails.

IC Strand,
the patch is holding.

The rest of the chlorine
is locked up.

Nice work, 126.

- No.
- We're not out of it yet.

We still have a chlorine
cloud to contend with,

so we're gonna
secure the scene,

get back
at the rotation.

And I'm gonna need an RA
for my firefighter.

You okay? You okay?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm fine. Fine, fine, fine.

If your PPE starts to leak,
it gets too intense, you bail.

Do you remember me saying that?

Intense is
a subjective term, Cap.

It was an order,
and you ignored it.

What would you do
in my position?

Probably the same thing.

Hey, Cap.

The water supply is back.
I can start charging the lines.

Good. Let's mop this up
and get the hell out of here.

Marwani, when the ambulance
comes, you're in it.

Yeah.

I know. No, no, no.
I know, I know.

On a scale of one to ten,
how bad is your pain?

Four. Four and a half.

Marjan...

Ten.

Chlorine gas.
Who knew, right?

You did.

And you did it anyway.

I got some ibuprofen in my bag.

It's not morphine, but

couldn't hurt any more
than this does, right?

There you go.

Thanks, bro.

Hey. If anything will take
the sting out of this,

it's knowing that you just
punched your ticket

to the next lieutenant
of the 126.

- No, you don't know that.
- Come on.

You just saved the day
by plugging that leak.

I didn't save the day.
There's still

the cloud of doom
floating around.

Marjan, you earned it.

And I'll tell you what.

When Cap makes
his announcement,

I'm gonna be so happy for you.

And I mean that.

I know you do. Thanks.

You know what?
How many people get to say

that they work
for their best friend?

Their bestie?

Hey, we--

What? What is it?

What is it?

Who you suppose
this belonged to?

It's got a sweat line in it.
Somebody was wearing this.

Somebody else
was on the train.

Okay, kids, everybody
needs to keep moving.

Just follow your teacher
onto a bus.

It's okay if you forgot
your backpack. Go.

Captain Vega.
What are y'all doing here?

We got a call about a boy
with severe chemical burns.

The principal's got him
right over there.

But, Captain, that cloud
is less than ten minutes out,

so everybody needs
to be gone in five.

We'll work fast.

See, Anthony,
the paramedics are here

to help you feel better.

Thank you for coming.

I'm Annie,
and this is Anthony.

-Hi, Anthony. I'm Tommy.
-Hi.

These are my friends,
Nancy and TK,

and we're gonna take
a quick look at you

and get you on a bus, okay?

I'm gonna take a look.

I'm just gonna unwrap these.

Ooh. That is quite
an owie, Anthony.

Now, it might sting a little bit
but Miss Nancy here,

she needs to clean it out.

Well, it might sting
for some people,

but you seem like
a pretty tough dude.

I... I am.

Alright, my man.

Lungs are clear, Cap.

That's great. That means
he didn't inhale any of it.

So how did he get
a chlorine burn?

Cap, you might
wanna look at this.

-It looks like...
-A handprint.

Somebody grabbed him.

He kept saying
a monster did it.

Is that true?

That must have been so scary.

Can you tell me
what that monster looked like?

She had bloody eyes
and was covered in white.

How do you know it was a she?

Her dress.

Austin Fire!
Is anybody out there?

Austin Fire! Call out!

Hey! Paul, look.

Okay.

So our train jumper
has a sweet tooth.

Yeah, and...

he studies poli-sci
at UT El Paso.

They were probably
in one of these cars.

Maybe they still are.

Okay.

Hello?
Is anybody out there?

Hey, Marj.

According to the manifest,

those are filled
with corn syrup.

And, uh...

that one with asphalt.

Not ideal for
riding the rails.

This one's full of
construction metals.

It's where I found
the steel for the patch.

Austin FD.
Is anyone out there?

This one is supposed to be
a refrigerator car hauling beer.

Maybe the metal
got thrown in the wreck.

You know what?

I'm gonna check this one out.

Anything?

Not yet.

Kind of a jumble in here.

Hello?

Damon, are you there?

No, it's Paul Strickland.
I'm a firefighter.

Who you looking for?

My brother, Damon Colfax.

- Is he okay?
- I don't know.

Remy, I'm-- I'm here.

Hey.

Come on.

Hey, Marjan, I found him!

He's down here! Radio Cap!

Tell him to send everybody!

Alright,
that's the last of 'em.

- 122, we're on the move.
- Captain.

Yeah?

You don't happen to have
an extra hazmat suit, do you?

I don't happen to have
a hazmat suit. Why?

I think there's still somebody
left on school grounds.

All the students and staff
have been accounted for.

- This person isn't staff.
- Then who is it?

Trina Mathis.

The lady from the news?

Yeah. She was
covering the derailment

and then disappeared
after the blast.

That little boy with the burn

said that a monster in a dress
tried to grab him.

Even if it is her,
if she's had that level
of chlorine exposure,

she's probably beyond saving.

Maybe.
And if she's still alive,

then she's going through
unimaginable suffering

and I won't leave her behind.

That cloud
is five minutes out.

My team still has to
evacuate a nursing home
on Flower Street.

I understand. Take my team.

-They'll help you.
I'll meet you there.
-Whoa.

-Okay.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Cap.

-No way.
-Seriously?

-Hell to the no.
-Wherever you go, we go.

And don't even bother
giving us orders, because...

-why?
-Alright, come on.

What were you thinking?

Who hops aboard
a moving train?

He said he'd do anything
to get to his big brother.

Especially after his surgery.

Especially after your surgery.

Paul, how bad is he hurt?

I'm pretty sure he has
some internal injuries.

Maybe a concussion.

And he's floating in
a puddle of pilsner,

so I wouldn't
rule out hypothermia.

Oh, God.

Hey, but listen, he's breathing
really well on his own,

and he's not bleeding, so...

Rebar looks
structurally sound

from here, Cap.
I think you're good to cut.

Marjan, any word on getting
another rescue unit out here?

Dispatch is doing
what they can,

but there isn't
an unassigned EMS unit

within 30 miles.

Alright,
get a can of paint.

Paint this car up
so they know where to look

- when they do arrive.
- Copy that, Cap.

Alright, boys,
it's time to wrap it up.

Alright. You heard him.
We gotta go.

- Wait.
- I'm not ready to say goodbye.

He's the only family
I have left.

Hey, son.

I lost a brother myself.
I know what it feels like.

I promise you, I'm gonna
do everything I can

to make sure
you don't lose yours.

Alright?
We gotta get to work.

Alright, you heard the man.

Damon...

I love you, brother.

See you soon, Remy.

Calling all units.

I have a critical patient
in a rail car

marked with an orange X.

Rescue 145, are you 10-8?

That's a negative, dispatch.

We have a patient in transit.

You hanging in there, Wyatt?

Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm just,

I'm trying to get an ambulance
back out to the derailment,

but they're all booked
or too far away.

Maybe there's
someone low-priority

I can pull off the evacuation.

Let me see
who's still out there.

That's weird.
This thing must be glitching.

According to this,
Captain Vega's ambulance

is practically inside the cloud.

Dispatch to Rescue 126.

Please tell me you're
not still at that school.

We're still at the school.

Uh, but, yeah, it's-it's
already been evacuated.

Why are you all still there?

We're looking for
a missing victim.

Austin EMS!

Trina!
Are you out here?

Trina!

Captain, all due respect,
but you have to go.

The clouds gotta be
within 100 yards.

It's closer than that.

Cap?
The wind's picking up!

I know. Trina!

Last call for Trina!

Austin EMS!

Cap, I think
maybe we should just go.

Trina?

Cap, I found her.

- We gotta get her out of here.
- TK, go get the backboard.

Copy!

Nancy, don't let the chlorine
touch your skin.

Dispatch, we found her.

Tell West Park to prepare for
a female in critical condition

with severe chemical burns.

Copy you, Captain.
Please hurry.

Cap...

- I see it.
- Cap!

The ambo...

Let's get her
on the backboard.

Hurry!

- I got the head.
- Alright.

- Hips.
- Here we go.

- Cap, the ambo--
- It's already in the cloud.

I barely got out
with the LIFEPAK.

So what do we do now?

Let's get her in the school.

Hurry. Now!

Go, go, go, go!

Let's go.

Straight back.

Step up.

Okay, we're almost there.

First responders
are currently risking

life and limb to evacuate

everyone in the path
of the poison cloud.

I'm told simply
breathing in chlorine gas

can liquefy the lungs,

which can result
in respiratory failure,

and with enough exposure,
death.

Probably better...
if we put on some music.

My ex-wife works for the IRS.

That was a lot easier
on my blood pressure.

Hypertension.

One of the joys of dating
a first responder.

Yeah, that's the thing, Carlos.

I'm not even sure if Tommy
and I are dating anymore.

You want to tell me
what happened?

She proposed to me.

So what did you say?

I accepted, obviously.

With one little caveat,

that she and the kids
meet my ex-wife.

So you, you gave her
an ultimatum?

No. No, I did not give her
an ultimatum.

It-it was, it was
more like a stipulation.

Fine. It was
an ultimatum, but...

Cassandra, who's
a wonderful mother,
by the way,

allowed me to move away
from Kansas with her only child.

It's only reasonable
that she have some say

in who will be in Melody's life.

No, that is totally reasonable

and something
you clearly agreed to

long before
you ever met Tommy.

Exactly. It's not personal.

But you only
sprang it on her now.

I botched it real good, huh?

I never thought I was gonna
get married again, Carlos.

But I met Tommy,
and it all went out the window.

I've been meaning
to tell her for months,

but I was worried
that I would blow everything up.

And now that I have,
I've blown everything up...

with the love of my life.

Does she know that?

That she's
the love of your life?

Well, I haven't
had a chance to tell her
since she's been ghosting me.

You will when she walks
through that door.

If she doesn't
kick my butt first.

I gotta be honest
with you, man.

I'm... I'm worried
that it's a lost cause.

But you showed up anyway.

That's one thing
you and Tommy have in common.

You fight the good fight.

TK, get her on the LIFEPAK.

Nancy, find towels,
paper towels.

Wet them down and put 'em
along the sills.

Yeah.

Hang in there, Trina.
We got you.

We got you.

Pulse is faint.

Sats are dropping.
32, 28, 26.

Uh I'm hearing
a lot of stridor.

Buh...

I know.
You're in a lot of pain.

TK, push 15 milligrams
of morphine.

You don't want
to start with five?

Fifteen.

Buh...

Trina, are you trying
to tell us something?

Buh...

I think she's
trying to say "boy."

-Are you trying to say "boy"?
-Buh...

"Is the boy okay?"

-K...
-Yes.

Because you warned him.

You saved him.

Okay.

We gave her some peace.

That's something, right?

Yeah.

Cap, you're gonna
wanna see this.

-Which way do we go now?
-Back.

Now what?

Are there
any more paper towels?

We need to stuff them
under the door and in the jams.

No, I used them all
on the windows.

Jackets. Hurry.
We'll use our jackets.

Alright, that's as sealed
as we're gonna get it, Cap.

Okay. Um, let's, uh,
let's go as far back.

As far back
into the room as we can.

- Let's just...
- Hey.

You never know, right?

Dispatch, this is Rescue 126.

We're in the science room

on the first floor
of the elementary school.

I read you, 126.
How's your patient?

She didn't make it.

Uh, listen... we're, uh,
we're hemmed in here,

and I-I need
you to do me a favor.

Yeah, yeah,
whatever you need, Captain.

I need you to write this down.

One, nine, zero,
four, two, four, one, two.

What is that?

It's the combination to the
fire safe in my bedroom closet.

It holds my financial docs,

my trust, passports,
and birth certificates.

Captain Vega,
why are you telling me this?

I'm telling you because that gas
is coming into this room,

and your dad and Gracie
are gonna need all that stuff

to take good care of my girls.

Wait, don't, don't say that.

We're gonna get somebody out
to you guys, okay?

No one's coming.

We knew that
when we decided to stay behind.

Wyatt, I need you
to promise me something.

I need you to promise
that you will tell your dad

to give my girls all the love.

Yeah, I promise.

Cap...

Wait. I think it's stopping.

It's blowing away.

I told you.

I don't think it's the fan.

Dispatch, the wind
has changed direction.

The fog is now moving away
from the building.

Oh, my God, that's amazing!

Yeah. I think
we're gonna be okay.

I mean, I-I have to change
the combination to my safe.

Yeah, that's,
that's probably wise, Captain.

This is all recorded.

What happened?

Great news.
The, the wind just shifted.

Oh, thank God.

This is central dispatch.

We have a confirmed
weather shift,

and storm front
coming into the area.

Storm front coming
into the area.

Prepare to evacuate
as soon as possible.

Bad news, Cap.
The wind just shifted.

-What?
-Which way is
the cloud headed now?

It's comin' right at us.

Cap?

Cap, the wind is
blowing at 35 knots.

We have three
to four minutes tops

before that cloud
is on top of us.

Mateo, how'd the rigs
fare in the explosion?

I think they're drivable, Cap.

Good. I need you
to pack up your gear,

get back to the trucks
and get out of here.

What? What about you, Cap?

I'm gonna keep cutting.
I'll extract him myself.

Cap, you heard Marj.
The cloud's three minutes away.

Cap, you're not
gonna make it.

I might, if you quit
slowing me down.

But, Cap,
let us stay and help you.

We can do this together.

No! It's an order.
Evacuate now.

Now, go!

Just a few more cuts
and I'll be to you.

Okay.

Oh, my God,
look at that thing.

Dispatch, this is 126.
Please be advised

that we were
ordered to evacuate
the involved rail car.

While Captain Strand--

While Captain Strand remains
inside in a final effort

to extract the victim.

- Damn it!
- What happened?

Blade broke.

You need to get out of here
while you still can.

Made a promise
to your brother.

Can't go back on that.

It's gonna hurt, isn't it?

It'll be quick.

Hold your breath
for as long as you can.

What the...

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

What the heck was that?

I have no idea.

-Judd?
-Howdy, Cap.

How--

How did you even know
to be here?

- I heard on the radio.
- X marks the spot,

and figured you could
use a push.

Your boy can drive.

But you're gonna need
some damn good insurance, son.

Don't worry.
We'll take care of you.

Austin residents are returning
to their homes tonight

after a thunderstorm
washed away

the last remnants
of chlorine gas.

- I'm home.
- Hey, Mom!

Oh, come here.

Mm!

- Too tight, Mom.
- I know.

Hey, babe.

Mm.

Trevor.

Hi.

Sorry, I figured the girls
might need someone,

but you obviously
had them in good hands.

You came here
without her knowing?

Dad, that's creepy.

Go get your backpack.

Are you guys
not talking or something?

Uh, go help Melody
get her backpack.

Okay. It's in the bedroom
right by the--

Yeah, and close the door.

You know what?
I think we should--

We're gonna go, Tommy.

Carlos.

Yes, ma'am?

-Thank you.
-Anytime.

Good luck.

Tommy, I wanted to apologize

for dropping that
Cassandra bomb on you. It...

It wasn't cool.

And if you're not comfortable
subjecting yourself

to an interview with my ex-wife,
I totally get it.

You are the love
of my life, Tommy.

I'll do anything
to make this work.

Call her. Call Cassandra.

- Are you sure?
- If--

If today has taught me anything,

it's that I would
want to know...

the person who's gonna help
raise my girls too.

You are an amazing woman,
Tommy Vega.

Yeah. And don't you
ever forget it.

Hey, Trevor.
Are your fingernails pink?

-Toes too.
-Wow.

- Mm.
- You messed up good

'cause, you know,
now they smell blood.

Ah, well, they seem to be
enjoying each other's company.

Gee, I wonder what they could
be talking about up there.

Can you believe this?

After all the jockeying
and hoop-jumping

and lieutenant sweepstakes...

Judd just swoops back in
and gets his old LT job back.

Yeah, but you
gotta hand it to him.

That was a pretty fine swoop.

I mean, as far
as dramatic entrances go,

that's right up there with
Thor's at the Battle of Wakanda.

Do you ever have a thought
that just stays in there?

I'm just saying,
if Judd doesn't show up

at the train tracks
with his big rig, Cap's dead,

so that probably earns him his
old lieutenant stripes back, no?

Probably.

It just would have been nice

for somebody else
to get a chance.

Look at him up there
just buttering Cap up
like garlic toast.

-Shameless!
-Damn it.

I knew I should have gone
by his office before shift.

Why? So you can
go butter him up?

Something like that.

Brace yourselves.
Here they come.

Hey, everybody,
let's gather up.

I have a couple announcements.

Captain Vega,
I'd love your team to hear this.

Uh-oh, here we go.
The big moment.

Alright.

I'm so excited to announce
that the 126 family is reunited.

After a year's sabbatical,

Judd Ryder has returned
to be the 126 new--

Lieutenant.

Probie.

Probie?

Judd is the new probie?

Based on him being away
from the house for a year,

those are the department rules.
He has to start at the bottom.

And, look, y'all don't have
to take it easy on me

'cause I'm a 40-year-old probie

that's, uh, got ten years
more experience

than anyone in this room.

Wait, so who's
the next lieutenant?

That's my
second announcement.

As you all know, I have really
struggled with this decision.

Some would even say
I've waffled.

Oh, you've waffled, Cap.
With syrup and a side of bacon.

Hey, Mateo, there's still room
for another probie.

Anyway, I have written
the name down on this card,

so I will not change my mind.

It's my pleasure to announce
the new lieutenant

- for the 126 is--
- Wait.

Uh, Cap, I have something
I need to say.

Just, it may change your mind.

The point of this card
is to, you know...

Go ahead. Go ahead.

As all of you know, I would
give anything for this house.

And when it comes to danger,
my hand's the first in the air.

Even if it means literally
melting the skin right off it.

We know, Marjan,
we were there.

But, Cap, when you told us
to look for the scrap metal

to plug the gas leak,

I was so focused
on getting there first,

I stepped right over
the kid's baseball cap.

And even when
the hole was plugged,

I completely overlooked it
because in my mind,

the objective was complete.

But not in Paul's.

His eyes were still open.

It is because of him
that that kid is alive today.

His calmness,
his presence in the moment,

no matter how crazy it gets...

that's what you want
from your lieutenant.

That is why I am officially
withdrawing my name

from consideration.

-Marjan, but you can't do that.
-I so can.

Cap, Paul is your guy.

Wow.

I couldn't have said
it better myself.

126, your new lieutenant,
Paul Strickland.

Pop, pop!

Woo-hoo!

Congratulations, Lieutenant.

And to you too, Judd.
Glad to have you back, buddy.

Oh, thank you, brother.

Now go make me a PB&J.

-Ohh!
-Ooh!

Unless you got
a problem with that.

Do-- Do you have
a-a problem with that?

Hell, yeah,
I have a problem with that.

Do you-- You want crunchy
or you want smooth?

Smooth, obviously.

Yeah, obviously. Alright.

Hey, you know what?
Uh, probie, make it two.

- Alright.
- And I'll, uh,

I'll take a spiced chai
when you're done.

Man! Y'all gotta
do me like that?

You know, this only
lasts 12 months, so...

Cap, you want anything?

-No, no, no, I'm fine. Thanks.
-Grape jelly.

Cut the crust
off for me, probie.

- Yeah, diagonal.
- For the lieutenant.

- Oh.
- Lieutenant!
