Welcome-mm-mm-mm...
to the beginning.
As the snake
sheds its skin,
the butterfly emerges from the cocoon,
here at the Anant Ka Aashram,
so, too, will you be reborn
and emerge fresh
from this spiritual journey.
Let us begin our therapeutic session
by drinking the ceremonial tea
of renewal and rebirth.
KATHY: You said "rebirth."
There's not placenta or anything
in this, is there?
Wait, that's not a thing, is it?
Oh, a lady from my walking group
used to blend her placenta
in a smoothie.
Okay, but that's not in the tea, right?
Of course not.
Um, so what is?
Ah, it's an ancient mystic's recipe.
Yeah, that's not an answer.
Um, black, green, chai, oolong teas
mixed with matcha, dried
mushroom caps, ginger and...
I'm-I'm sorry, did you
just say mushrooms?
As in hallucinogenic narcotics?
Is that bad? This is California.
- It's a felony!
- Is it?
REGGIE: Yeah.
You just roofied us.
Okay.
- ♪ I like to dream ♪
- Hey!
♪ Yes, yes ♪
♪ Right between the sound machine... ♪
(group shouting angrily)
KATHY: He's getting away.
Ah, okay, should've gone
to real estate school.
Oh, boy.
Okay. Get in there.
We almost got him.
♪ Well, you don't know
what we can find... ♪
Siri... call .
Siri, call .
Oh, Buddha.
(screams)
(siren wailing)
Can someone tell me what happened?
We unleashed our primal selves.
(chortles)
These people appear to be hallucinating.
MAN: Hi.
How would you know?
You looked like this
when you were dosed.
- No, I didn't.
- (scoffs) Whatever.
He dosed us, man,
and then dude went over.
- Over where?
- Uh...
Ortiz, make sure they stay
away from the edge.
(exhales)
HEN: Sir!
- Are you hurt?
- (Eugene shuddering)
I, uh, I think I sprained
my ankle on the way down.
- We're gonna come down and get you.
- Oh, thank God.
Okay, everybody, ladder rescue.
Hen, Chim, prep a basket.
Buck, Ravi, start extending
that ladder over the edge of the cliff.
Uh, Cap, I-I was gonna harness up.
I'm gonna go down to get him.
Donato, you're with me.
Yeah, copy that, Cap.
You riding the ropes, Cap?
What, did I stutter? Let's move!
(brakes squeak)
Go.
BOBBY: You set?
- Set.
- All right, let's go.
All right, Eugene, you
hang tight. We're almost there.
Oh, thank God. Whoa.
All right, Ravi, basket's
ready as soon as Cap is.
(rumbling)
Wait, did you feel that?
Was that a quake?
Guys, what the hell was that?
The cliff's going.
That didn't feel right, Cap.
Cap, Lucy, unhook now.
The cliff's coming down,
and it's taking the ladder with it.
CHIMNEY: Everybody fall back!
BOBBY: All right, Lucy, unhook.
Get down!
Cap!
(exhales)
That-That-That's bad,
- right?
- Yeah, Eugene.
That's bad.
NEWSMAN: Quite the predicament
for these first responders.
Turns out they needed
some second responders.
Must we keep reliving this?
- It's on every channel.
- Then shut it off.
...LAFD paramedic Jonah Greenway.
Our Taylor Kelly
has a fresh report on that
coming up next.
- BOBBY: This wasn't a punishment, Buck.
- Come on, Cap.
I-I know everyone is
mad about Taylor's story.
No one is mad.
Chief Alonzo seemed pretty mad
- when he was interrogating me.
- This was a hearing
about Jonah, Buck. Not an interrogation.
No, the interrogation
came after the hearing
in his office.
He wanted to know
all these things about Taylor.
You know, wh-where does she get
her information?
Who are her sources?
- Am I one of them?
- They were embarrassed.
It would have been better
for the department
if they could have released
this story themselves,
controlled the narrative a little bit.
I think they would have liked
a heads-up. That's all.
Yeah, well, they aren't the only ones.
She promised me, Cap.
She promised me
she wouldn't do the story,
and I believed her.
I'm sorry I let you down.
This wasn't your fault, Buck.
You know, I can't even blame
Taylor for all this.
She's a reporter.
She wasn't the one running around,
playing God right under my nose.
Cap, you couldn't have known.
I should have!
It's my job.
Sorry, kid.
EDDIE: He said that?
He did.
Well, you know how he is.
He takes responsibility for everything.
That's his way.
Probably why he makes
such a good captain.
Taking responsibility for
something he didn't do wrong?
(inhales) It's a bad road to go down.
You lose sight of things,
of who you are.
I just... I-I wish I could...
- Fix it? (chuckles)
- Yeah, yeah, I know.
I'm the guy that always wants
to fix everything.
Hey, comes in handy when you
have a bunch of holes in your wall.
Also sounded like
maybe you needed a reason
to get out of the house.
Uh, yeah.
Taylor and I are still
avoiding each other.
- Mm.
- I-I know we-we have to talk.
I still feel so angry.
Feel like whatever I say
is just gonna be mean.
You can't put it off forever.
You keep that anger
and resentment bottled up?
Eventually you snap.
(Bobby grunts)
(sighs)
Mom? Bobby?
(grunts) Damn it.
Yeah?
(exhales)
- Hey.
- Oh, no, what happened?
Uh, I was just cleaning up
before dinner,
and I somehow managed to break a glass.
- Are you all right?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's just a scratch.
Uh, I tell you what, let
me just clean this up, and...
Oh, no. I got it. You clean that
cut and maybe change your shirt.
Oh, yeah.
That's probably not
the most appetizing thing
for your celebration dinner.
What do you mean, "celebration"?
Mom and Harry are about to walk
through that door with a congratulatory
"you're going to college"
balloon arrangement, aren't they?
There might be some USC
sweatshirts involved, as well.
- Okay.
- Tell you what,
I'm gonna go change
before they get back.
Yeah. So much
for my surprise announcement.
(whispers): Oh, my gosh.
(glass crunches)
You were right. Fish tacos here
are pretty damn good.
Though still probably not as good
- as Andrea's.
- Andrea's.
(Chimney chuckles softly)
So, I, I just wanted us
to talk through some stuff
without our tiny human interrupting.
(music playing faintly)
I'm okay with it.
If you feel you're ready,
then I support you completely.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I know it didn't work out
with us, but...
I still want you to be happy,
so if you think it's time...
What do you think
that I think we're ready for?
Dating. Other people.
Going back to work.
That's what I was gonna
talk to you about.
- Oh, so not dating?
- Well, I mean,
if you're ready to start dating...
No. No, I'm not... No.
I mean, I'm-I'm-I'm...
(chuckles): Can we start
this conversation over, please?
(chuckles)
Okay. I would like to go back to work.
At the call center. And I know
that it's gonna complicate
the schedule
that we've already worked out,
and we'll take a hit financially
with day care,
- but...
- You miss helping people.
I guess I didn't realize
how much that place
really mattered to me until I
saw it burning on television.
I never should have walked away.
They'd be glad just to have you back.
- (door opens)
- CHIMNEY: Hey.
Lunch clearly went well.
You're in a much better mood
than when you left.
I'm guessing the talk
with Maddie was good.
(exhales) She wasn't asking
for permission to date anyone.
You were wrong about
that one, little brother.
That is not how I remember
the conversation going.
You were the one who was spiraling.
- I believe I told you to chill.
- I do not spiral.
Yeah, well, maybe you would
if you took one of these.
What is...
Career aptitude test.
ALBERT: Now that I've
quit the fire department,
I'm gonna have to start over.
Won't be following in your footsteps.
Definitely won't be
following in Father's, so...
(chuckles)
Guess I have to find other footsteps.
CHIMNEY: Wow. Archaeologist.
Librarian. Sociologist.
Trial lawyer?
You don't think I'd make a good lawyer?
- I don't know. I don't see it.
- (chuckles)
There you go. That's you.
- What?
- Cosmetologist.
(music playing faintly)
DEENA: Dontrell.
Deena. Hey. What brings you in?
Without an appointment.
Something's wrong. Ever since
you put in these extensions
last week, I've had
- these headaches.
- Oh, I warned you that might happen.
It's gonna be a little tight at first,
but it'll slowly loosen up.
Just give it some time, okay?
This isn't tight. It's crippling pain.
Hey, being pretty ain't pretty.
DEENA: I want you to take them out now.
Start over and do it right this time.
Deena, don't you think you're
being a little overdramatic?
I have a one-star review,
and I'm not afraid to use it.
Raquel, sweetie,
why don't you give us a minute?
Why don't you try
a espresso from over there?
Okay.
Have a seat.
(Deena sighs)
It hurts the most in the back,
right in the crown.
This isn't cool, Deena.
I'm not a fan of doing my work twice.
You should have done it right
the first time.
- Oh, my God.
- DEENA: What?
Oh, my gosh.

HEN: BP's a little low,
but his heart sounds good.
Pupils are equal and reactive,
so we can rule out
any sort of TBI or hematoma.
- (Dontrell whimpers)
- CHIMNEY: Easy.
You got a pretty nasty bump
- on your head. You're gonna...
- His head?!
- What about mine?
- Ma'am, I'm afraid your stylist
is out of commission for the
day. You're gonna have to find
somebody else to deal
with your hair emergency.
Then you have to help me, okay?
My head, it's throbbing.
Ever since he put these
extensions in a few days ago,
I've had these blinding headaches.
You keep scissors in that thing,
right? Can you cut it out?
- HEN: Uh...
- BOBBY: Uh,
Hen, can you come
and take a look at this?
DEENA: What?
Uh, just-just hold still.
Okay.
Uh...
- Hen, aren't those...?
- HEN: Whoa.
Maggots.
(screams) You did this to me!
- (gasping)
- Ma'am, I need you to calm down.
- What's your name?
- Deena.
HEN: Okay, Deena, have a seat.
Okay? I'm Hen.
Okay? I can't help you
unless you calm down.
Take a deep breath.
- (gasping)
- Calm down. Everything's gonna be fine.
- All right. You might need these. Here.
- HEN: Yeah.
Hold the light while I
try to cut one of these out.
Ugh.
(Deena whimpers)
- HEN: Yep. Live larva.
- (Deena groans)
It's mostly superficial.
No sign of systemic parasitic infection.
Ugh.
But it's definitely an infestation.
Oh, God, I think I'm gonna be sick.
HEN: You're gonna be okay, all right?
We're gonna get you to the hospital,
and they're gonna take good care of you.
BOBBY: Okay, let's clean
her up as best we can,
get-get her ready for transport.
We should try to get 'em out now.
Otherwise, they're gonna
remove them surgically,
shave her head.
Shave my head? I can't
walk around with a shaved head.
(gasping)
I don't have your bone structure.
I could never pull it off.
Do you mind telling me
how the hell this could happen?
- I-I have no idea.
- Well, you had to get the hair
- from somewhere, right?
- Well, yeah.
I-I-I-I mean, I-I had to...
- And?
- You don't understand.
Like, it's so hard finding
real human hair right now.
Everything's back-ordered. The
supply chain's all messed up.
I was gonna lose clients.
Where did you get the hair?
(siren wails)
Can I help you, Officer?
You're Gregory Abewell
of Abewell Mortuary?
Yes.
- I-Is there a problem?
- We need
to have a talk, Mr. Abewell.
About what?
(sighs)
HEN: I'd heard about folks
illegally harvesting tissue and bones
from dead people, but hair?
Hmm. That's why I stick to au naturel.
- (chuckles softly)
- Half the time, you
don't know what
people trying to sell you.
CLIVE: And I am more than fine
with the authentic Antonia.
That poor woman must have spent
hundreds of dollars
to get her hair done
only to end up in the hospital.
Not to mention a lifetime of nightmares.
Do they lay eggs or something
in your head?
Wait, could they burrow into your brain?
Okay, I think we need a new topic
- of conversation.
- (chuckles)
Well, Clive and I have some news.
I have asked your mother
to do me the honor of becoming my wife.
And I said yes.
Ma! That's amazing.
We are so happy for you two.
DENNY: Congratulations, Grammy.
Do I get to call you Grandpa now?
- You can call me whatever you like.
- (chuckles)
HEN: I-I can't believe
you're gonna make it official.
I kind of thought that you had given up
- on that entire institution.
- TONI: Well,
it turns out not all marriages
are fiery hellscapes.
- (Karen chuckles)
- Yours seems to be doing okay.
HEN: So, what are you thinking?
Family trip to Vegas could be fun.
Actually,
we were hoping to do it here.
Maybe in the backyard?
- O-Our backyard?
- TONI: Yeah.
Make it a real wedding,
especially since
it's Clive's first time.
CLIVE: First and last.
Mwah.
TONI: So,
you guys okay with that?
Ma, I think it would...
- (silverware clangs)
- (chair scoots)
What was that?
She didn't come to our wedding,
Hen. The one we had right here
in the same backyard
she wants to get married in.
She apologized. We forgave her.
- (Karen sighs)
- Didn't we?
I-I love Toni. I do.
And having her here
has changed our family
in the best way, but...
Oh, the thought of, of her
getting married here just...
Karen, I can't believe
you're still bothered by this.
Yes, my mother
didn't come to our wedding.
But I've found a way to let it go.
It was still a beautiful day.
You didn't see the look on your face.
You met me at the altar
and turned to see if she was there.
And there was an empty chair.
And I watched your heart break
before we even said "I do."
It wasn't the happiest day
of our life, Hen.
But it was still a pretty damn good one.
Hmm?
Yeah. It was. (chuckles)
Listen, if you don't want them
to get married here, it's okay.
But I need you to talk to her.
I don't want this to become a thing.
I'll fix it.
(crying): I'm sorry.
I didn't mean...
No, no, no, I'm sorry.
Of course you can have
your wedding here.
MADDIE: (sighs) This is... interesting.
- Everybody hates it.
- (chuckles)
It was supposed to be
some new communal workspace.
Opened right before the pandemic
and closed two months later.
Well, at least you have
buzzword salad on the walls.
(Josh sighs)
It's just temporary until
the new space is ready for us.
- And when's that gonna be?
- Mid-September, I think?
Welcome back, Maddie.
There's doughnuts in the breakroom.
Oh, I'm good, but it's nice to see you.
Sir, I understand your car being
towed feels like an emergency...
We're sharing the breakroom with
the accounting firm next door.
The good news is,
they always have doughnuts.
- Bad news is...
- They always have doughnuts.
Maddie, welcome back.
(both chuckle)
MAY: Sir, I could just send the police.
That's what I thought. Have a great day.
(Maddie exhales)
You got this.
Do I? Because I thought
I was coming back to work,
and now it feels like I'm starting over.
JOSH: The space may have changed.
The job hasn't. You're gonna be great.
Okay.
(sighs)
- (beeps)
- .
What's your emergency?
(phone chimes)
Ah! Maddie took her first call.
- No one d*ed.
- RAVI: That's great news.
Both parts.
What?
No, nothing.
(phone vibrates)
Oh, hey.
I just got a text from my sister
about her first call.
I guess we can all see
Chimney still comes first.
You know, this is a
sign. I-I really think...
Oh, is this the part of our day
where we share our opinions
about each other's relationships?
- (chuckles)
- 'Cause I have a few
- choice words about your...
- BUCK: Okay, okay.
Hey, Cap. I heard that May's
leaving the call center
- for college?
- BOBBY: Yeah.
Wow. You and your wife must be
really happy about that.
Well, relieved more than anything.
I-I think it'll be good for her
to get away
from the emergencies, the tragedies.
I just want to say one...
Hey, is, uh, May gonna do
anything over the summer?
Uh, she didn't get to do that
when she graduated, right?
BOBBY: Well, she's going to
Miami with her brother Harry.
And then she's gonna go visit
Athena's parents.
They're gonna have a few weeks
together before school starts.
Oh. She's gonna miss the wedding.
Mom doesn't have a lot
of friends left in the area.
I think Karen was hoping to draft
some people to fill in
that side of the aisle.
How did Karen go from hard no
to planning the wedding?
Overcompensating
for massive amounts of guilt.
- (chuckles)
- I think it's sweet
that Karen was defending you.
I mean, isn't that
what we all want in a partner?
Knowing that they have your back?
Yeah. Until they stick a Kn*fe in it.
You really need to talk to her.
I think maybe I'm just gonna
hope it works itself out.
Just do us all a favor.
Stay away from the tequila
until you've made a rational decision
- about that situation.
- CHIMNEY: Yeah.
We like Lucy.
So next time you go kissing
on her again,
you're the one who has to leave.
- (mouths)
- When did you two kiss?
Two months ago.
I feel like I am missing
warning signs left and right.
Bobby, there are some things
that subordinates do not tell captains.
- Or sergeants.
- I still should have known.
But the fact
that you haven't noticed means
that it hasn't been a problem, right?
I guess.
(scoffs softly) But you're
in your own head about it.
Like everything else.
You know, I'm kind of jealous
of May and Harry.
When was the last time
we had a vacation?
- What, just us together?
- Exactly.
And we have had a year.
What would you say
to us taking the honeymoon
that we never had?
I feel like there's so much happening
right now. I don't...
I just need some time to think about it.
Cole, it's time.
Yeah, okay, baby.
Baby. Hospital. Now.
- Baby. Come on. Let's go.
- Baby.
- Okay. Okay. All right.

MADDIE: Hello?
Are you there?
Hello?
Is anyone there? Are you okay?
Um, there's been an accident.
Are you injured?
COLE: I don't... I think...
I think s-something bad happened.
I need you to stay
on the line with me, sir.
- I'm here.
- Okay.

Help is on the way.
(siren wailing)
Buck, Lucy, saws and Jaws.
MADDIE: , be advised,
driver is semiconscious.
We've lost contact.
Dispatch, I've also got a passenger.
A pregnant woman.
Copy that. Driver did not report it.
Sending additional ambulance.
BOBBY: Okay, Hen, you check on Mom.
Chimney, you've got Dad.
Cap, I-I need a way in.
All right, right here.
(grunts) How you doing in here?
Cole.
CHIMNEY: Cap, he's
wedged in there pretty tight.
It's gonna take some
time to get him out.
HEN: I can't get her out
without getting him out,
and I need to get her out now.
How many weeks are you?
AMARI: Um, .
We were on our way to...
Were you in labor before the accident?
- (Amari panting)
- CHIMNEY: Hey, Cole.
You've been in an accident.
You took quite a hit.
Let me just check your vitals.
Cap, one pupil is less reactive. We got
- to get him out of here.
- Copy that.
- How's Mom and baby?
- (grunts) Angle's bad.
I can't get a heartbeat.
Oh, God.
- It doesn't mean there isn't one.
- BOBBY: Okay,
everybody, clear the vehicle.
Let's cut 'em out.
(whirring)
(siren wailing)
Is the baby okay?
Please tell me he's okay.
No other pain besides the contractions?
No.
So, we're doing this again?
- How come we're doing it again?
- CHIMNEY: Uh,
I just wanted an update.
Hey, Cap, can you call ahead
and set up a TBI protocol?
What does that mean?
Water was clear. No meconium.
From what I can tell,
you're eight centimeters
and almost fully effaced.
Can you tell me your name again, sir?
So, we're doing that again, too?
- It's Cole.
- CHIMNEY: That's right.
Now, can you tell me
what year it is, Cole?
COLE: Course I can.
It's two thousand...
Uh, two thousand...
Sorry.
There it is.
- (exhales)
- The heartbeat is strong.
You're gonna have this baby soon, Amari.
But not in this ambulance.
What about Cole?
CHIMNEY: Can you tell
me who the president is?
COLE: President?
It's...
- It's that old guy. Um...
- It's okay.
You're just foggy from the head trauma.
We need to keep you alert and awake.
Believe me,
having your first child
will definitely do that for you.
I'm having a kid?
Is he all right?
We're bringing your husband in
for further observation.
Oh, Cole! Cole.
I called my sister. She's on the way.
She's gonna record everything
so you don't have to miss it.
Miss what?
Cole?
Do I know you?
I don't... I don't know her.
Do I know her?
(Amari panting)
- Okay.
- Try to relax.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be all right.

So, how much time do you think he lost?
At least six or seven years.
Hen said with this type of amnesia,
there's a-a chance
his memories might come back.
Or there'll just be a big black hole
in the middle of his life.
You remember that movie?
The woman,
she-she wakes up every morning,
and her brain resets
to a year ago, so anything
she does today,
she won't remember tomorrow.
Yeah, that was anterograde amnesia.
Works a little differently.
It still sounds like a nightmare.
You know, starting over every day.
Always doing the same thing,
making the same mistakes.
Never having a chance to learn
or make a different decision.
Like a hamster on a wheel.
It was a comedy.
I think it's supposed to be romantic.
You know, the idea that the guy
would work hard every day,
making her fall in love with him
over and over again.
So every day is the best day ever.
Is that really love?
Right? Sh-Shouldn't it be
when you're at your worst,

you have every reason to give up,

you want to try again?

Buck?
You home?
(exhales)
Well, I guess we've moved
past the avoidance stage?
BUCK: I think we can both admit
it was starting to get ridiculous.
I'm sorry you're still upset
about the story.
You're not sorry
for what you did, though.
The story was gonna come out regardless.
If I hadn't have broken it,
someone else would have.
Y-You couldn't have called me first?
No, you-you just...
You figured I'd be fine.
I'd get over it.
Buck, I wasn't trying
to hurt you or anyone else.
I was just trying
to get the truth out there.
A truth the public
has every right to know.
This is literally our first argument
all over again.
Which is why we shouldn't be having it.
You knew who I was
when we started dating.
I guess I thought
I could learn to live with it.
I don't want to be something
you have to learn to live with.
And I don't want to keep on making
the same mistakes. (sniffles)
I need things to be different, Taylor.
Okay.
I'm willing to try that.
Clean slate.
Yeah.
Just not together.
EDDIE: May, you got a sec?
Hey. I heard you
hit a million followers.
Oh, yeah. That's what happens
when a ladder truck goes off a cliff.
Two days of tweets
about traffic collisions
and trash fires
should take care of that.
Yeah. What do you need?
How's Bobby doing?
Why would you ask me that?
Probably the same reason
you're looking at me like that.
The other night, I went to the house
to tell them that I'd decided
on going back to college,
but when I got there, it was weird.
He had just dropped a glass
and cut his hand.
Why was that weird?
Because the way he acted when I came in.
Felt like I was interrupting
more than just a broken glass.
ATHENA: Hey, babe. What's up?
I just went out to pick up some
basics we were running low on.
How's your shift?
Mm, nothing much,
but I'm just getting started.
How are you doing?
I'm good. Gonna have an early dinner
- and call it a night.
- All right.
Good to hear.
(knock on door)
Uh, somebody's at the door,
- so-so I got to run.
- All right.
See you in the morning.
Okay. Love you. Bye.
- Eddie.
- Bobby.
Promise I don't have any
transfer requests in my hand.
(chuckles)
- All right, then you can come in.
- All right.
(door closes)
Can't stay for long.
I need to pick up Christopher.
But, um...
I wanted to say...
Jonah wasn't your fault.
- Eddie.
- No, look, I spent the last few months
trying to put away
a lot of things from the past
and move on.
What I've learned is,
you can't carry someone else's weight.
It'll take you under.
I'm the captain.
My responsibility...
Is your team.
But he was on the
for, what, a-a few weeks?
You barely knew him.
You think you missed something?
All the other cities, other houses.
Everybody missed something.
This happened on my watch.
He k*lled Claudette
and who knows how many others.
Because he thought he was a god.
But he's not.
Neither are you.
You're not all-knowing
and all-seeing, Bobby.
You're just a good man.
I'm not.
I am not.
You saved my life.
And my son's.
So, whatever responsibility you take
for Jonah, you make sure
you take some credit for me.
You earned it.
(sighs) I got to go.
Hey, are you sure
you can't stay for dinner?
Oh, man, I'd love to,
but Christopher got some friends over,
and-and I don't want to leave
Carla without backup.
- Yeah, I got you.
- Yeah.
Thanks for stopping by, Eddie.
I mean it.
Literally the least I could do, Bobby.
Thank you.

Did you order enough linens
for this one, too?
I ordered exactly what you told me to.
Thought you could use a hand.
Or a few hands.
What are you doing here?
Did you...?
- No. No.
- BUCK: Come on, Hen.
You know we weren't gonna miss this.
Miss what?
You should ask your mom.
- Hi, Karen.
- Go get a drink.
- KAREN: Hey.
- EDDIE: Yeah.
You're not getting married, Ma?
Clive and I can do it another time.
I have four dozen deviled eggs
in the fridge.
There will be a wedding today.
TONI: There will.
Just not mine.
- Ma...
- TONI: Henrietta,
let me say this.
I'm sorry I didn't come to your wedding.
I had my reasons,
my excuses.
I didn't understand.
I wasn't ready.
I needed more time to catch up
with the way the world was changing.
But the truth is, honey,
I was just wrong.
It's okay, Toni.
TONI: No, it isn't.
I don't know how you found it
in your heart to forgive me,
but I'm grateful you did.
We all lost something that day.
I think today may be our chance
to get it back.
