Okay, you've officially reached
Fort Knox-level security.
Oh, you think it's too much?
Three motion sensors in the living room?
I mean, maybe if you're
trying to keep Tom Cruise

Mission: Impossible. No?
Sorry, haven't seen it.
Travesty.
EDDIE: Maybe we pop the hinges
- off the door.
- Or we use the Jaws of Life.
No, no, no. It has to
fit. I measured it twice.
Can't you guys just, you know,
turn it around the other way?
And then the pizza will slide off.
You have pizza on my new sofa?
It's on the plastic.
Okay.
I'm sorry. You were
showing me the security app.
EDDIE: All right, pivot. (GRUNTS)
Okay, so, basically, you
can check everything on here.
(GRUNTING)
Lift with your legs.
And you can also check it on
your phone if you're not at home.
That's great 'cause now if I hear
a noise in the middle of the night,
I don't have to get out of
bed to know it's the ice maker.
Hey, thank you, guys, for
helping me on your day off.
- Don't worry about it. Plates?
- Countertop.
- Kitchen.
- CHIMNEY: Beer?
Uh, also kitchen, fridge.
CHIMNEY: Clever.
He is so cute.
Yeah, he gets that a lot. Uh,
you should meet his kid, though.
Wait, Chimney has a kid?
No, I-I thought you meant...

The pilot radioed
they were having mechanical trouble.
Looks like he tried to put it down
- in the field over there.
- Yeah, it got close.
Yeah, not close enough.
Get down, people, move!
Move! Go!
All right, guys, we're gonna fan
out, go behind those bleachers.
Eddie, after we get the people out,
you think you can k*ll that engine?
Think so, I'm just worried
about the dynamic rollover.
The dynamic what?
We change the weight ratio
by pulling people out,
whole thing could tip
over, rotors could snap off.
And then flying rocks are gonna
be the least of our problems.
All right, visors down. Let's go!
- Buck, get her out of there.
- On it, Cap.
Put your arms around me.
- Yes. All right, here we go.
- Okay.
- Ah!
- (SHOUTING)
Got to keep it moving.
All right.
All right, on three. One, two, three.
Pulse/ox is good. We can get rid of this.
- How are you doing?

How's Trent? Is he okay?
Your pilot's gonna be just fine.
Hey, do me a favor. Uh,

CONGREGATION: Lord, hear our prayer.
BOBBY: She would've turned today.
PRIEST: Is it hard to
reconcile that with the image
you still have of her in your mind?
BOBBY: Yeah.
Especially around her birthday.
Brook's very last school project
was a show-and-tell with her dad,
the "hero."
She was so proud of me.
I believe she's proud of you now.
I hope so, Father. I really hope so.
(SIGHS)
TAYLOR: This is fantastic.
I love it. We need to capture it all.
Real life inside a firehouse.
Please, God, tell me there's a
Dalmatian around here somewhere.
- Excuse me.
- Captain Nash, I'm Taylor Kelly.
- We met the other day when...
- I know who you are, Ms. Kelly.
I just don't understand
what you're doing here.
- Please don't film in here.
- Uh, why not?
Because it's-it's rude.
Oh, they didn't call you yet.
- Who?
- FIREFIGHTER: Captain,
Chief's office on the line.
Uh, Taylor Kelly?
(CHUCKLES) Wh-What are you doing here?
You can just call me Taylor.
Uh, how was your drive in?
Did you miss me?
My morning definitely
wasn't the same without you.
- (CHUCKLES) I...
- Hey, how're you feeling?
Any side effects after the crash?
I'm great.
Thanks to all of you,
which is why I'm here.
You guys were so amazing.
I want to do a story on this firehouse
and on the heroes who work here.
Yeah, but you do traffic.
I'm not quite ready
to go back in the sky,
so I thought I'd try my hand at
telling a story from the ground.
And use your newfound fame to put
your face in front of the camera.
- That, too.
- Smart girl.
I can't wait to interview all of you.
I want to know why you chose this job,
the crazy things you've seen,
what it's like to face death.
I mean, Howie, you almost d*ed, right?
Actually, nobody calls
me that. It's Chimney.
- I bet there's a story there.
- Hmm.
- Not one you can tell on TV.
- (TAYLOR CHUCKLES)
Well, you must've really
impressed the chief.
He said to give you
whatever access you need.
Don't worry, Captain Nash,
your story's in good hands.
I'm gonna make you all famous.
TAYLOR: Tell us about althis.
Oh. This table is all about the love.
It's, uh, tokens of appreciation
from the people we serve.
Baked goods are big, and
cards, we love the cards.
Mmm, and carbs. We love carbs.
But this stuff is what
really keeps us going,
- the love.
- Mmm, and the carbs.
And the carbs.
What made me want to
become a firefighter?
That's a great question.
Short answer:
I got sh*t.
Well, to be honest, I, um,
I just kind of fell into it.
EDDIE: What I missed most
after leaving the Army
is the camaraderie, um,
working shoulder-to-shoulder
with a great team,
and there's none better
than the one I found here.
I mean, what little kid doesn't
want to be a firefighter?
Especially... a hot firefighter.
That's for you. Go ahead.
HEN: The b*llet wasn't
meant for me, um...
I was years old,
walking home from school,
and I hear this "pop, pop, pop."
And next thing, I feel
this penetrating pain
just throw me to the ground.
The stray b*llet had entered my back,
ruptured a kidney, and,
uh, grazed my aorta.
I was dying.
And then someone yelled, "Call ."
And I guess someone did
because the next thing you know,
I was in the back of an ambulance,
and these two paramedics
were working on me
and just telling me to stay with them.
You know, their skill kept me from dying,
but the way they cared for me...
that's what kept me alive.
TAYLOR: Yeah, let's go see
if we can grab him. Come on.
Captain Nash.
Can we have a few minutes with you?

I just don't like her.
You don't like the intrusion?
I don't. I don't like
cameras in the firehouse.
I certainly don't like them on calls.
Makes it harder for us to do our job.
Well, unfortunately,
that's the reality nowadays.
Cameras everywhere.
Body cams, phone cameras, CCTVs.
Big Brother is definitely watching.
No, I'm more worried about Little Sister.
Are you gonna be on TV?
Not if I can help it.
- Doesn't May like short ribs?
- (LAUGHS)
Well, it might have something to do
with that story you told at mealtime.
Oh.
- No, she's on a stupid diet.
- Wha... still?
I told her she did not need to do that.
Why is May on a diet?
Oh... homecoming.
Her first. Dress search was epic.
Okay. Tell me what you think.

Yeah. You look beautiful.
MAY: Then I guess we have a winner.
BOBBY: Hey, guys, I'm
sorry to cut this short,
but I have, uh, an early shift,
so I better get home and
get a good night's sleep.
But I want to see all the

- Good night, Bobby.
- Good night.
Um...
I-I'll walk you out.
Oh, Bobby, Bobby, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry. I just...
I didn't think about how
hard that would be for you.
No, don't-don't do that. Please.
Please, don't feel bad about this.
You have two wonderful children
with a lifetime of
milestones ahead of them,
and I want you to be able to
enjoy each and every one of them
without worrying about me.
Well, don't tell me I can't do both.
I mean, multitasking is
one of my many talents.

- Keep filming.
Looks like extreme hyponatremia.

- He's got a charley horse.
- He is a charley horse.
- What's your name?
- Charlie.
- Okay, Charlie, when was the last time
- you had any fluids?
- Yesterday afternoon.
Flushed yourself out for
the competition today?
And for the weigh-ins,
to make the veins pop.
Well, you are definitely popping.
All right, Charlie, your
potassium and your sodium
have bottomed out and
that's why you're seizing up.
Now, before we start
replenishing your electrolytes,
you got to answer me
honestly: are you dosing?
N-No steroids, if that's what
you mean. I'm totally clean.
Okay, you two need to back off.
Get that camera out of here, please.
Cap needs room to work.
- I'm working, too.
- You can work further back.
Charlie, I just need you to know
that if you're not being
straight with me, and we start
giving you saline and
you have been dosing,
your kidneys could start to fail, okay?
- And that'd be on you.
- I'm on steroids.
Okay, that's better. Are
you taking anything else?
I took a diuretic last night
to shed some water weight.

- Am I, am I gonna be okay?
- We're gonna get you through the day.
You'd think he'd earn a trophy
for holding that pose so long.
Right?
Captain, we'd love to
get some words from you.
Okay, here's a few:
stop pointing that camera at
people who are in distress.
The people we serve have to
feel like they can trust us
and can be honest with us;
otherwise, mistakes get made.
We're totally using that.
(BUCK LAUGHS)
(MOUTHS)
All right... (CHUCKLES)
Is he always so prickly?
Who, Cap? Uh, nah. He, uh...
he barks a little,
but ring that bell, he's,
he's one of the guys.
I don't think he likes me much.
It's funny, 'cause you're so likable.
(LAUGHS) Well, I am trying.
Look, Cap is not prickly, okay?
He just, he just doesn't
know you yet, that's all.
We-we get two, three calls, right?
He's putting out fires all day.
The rest of us, we just have
to be one thing at a time.
The guy in his job,
he has to be everything.
The truth is, he inspires
me every single day.
And I am trying to put
a giant spotlight on him.
On all of you unsung heroes.
Tell your story.
To him, we're not the story.
We're just here to make sure
no story ends before it should.

This is . Is anyone there?

if you're not alone,
pretend you're talking to someone else.

just give me your location,

Sue, hi. Good morning.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm-I'm just tired. I haven't...
been sleeping very well.
You've been a great
addition to the team, Maddie.
I'm impressed with how
you've taken to the job.
Sometimes, I forget you haven't
been doing it for very long.
I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?
Not at all. No.
But I am concerned.
You're tired, skittish. (LAUGHS)
I know the job can be stressful,
and I just want to make sure
that you know we have resources available
if you're having trouble
managing the stress.
There's no shame in asking for help.
It's not the job.
I mean, right this very second
it is the job, but it's...
really that the job is
reminding me of my life.
My marriage.
Call hit a little close to home?
She wouldn't...
couldn't speak, and I could
hear her crying, and...
I knew what was wrong, but
she wouldn't let me help her.
Maybe I should've told her
that it was all gonna be okay.
You know, that she could just leave
and not live her life in fear.
But it's not true.
I-I ran , miles away, and
it doesn't even feel far enough.
(SNIFFLES)
I mean, my apartment is a fortress.
I sleep with a baseball bat by my bed,
and I still don't feel safe.
It's like I never got up off that floor.
But you did.
You got up and you got out.
A-And I'm sure that
there had been moments
when the idea of that felt impossible.
Yet, here you are.
Just trust yourself
and keep moving forward.
It's gotten you here so far.
It'll get you the rest of the way.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
New arrival.
When they send it in plastic,
you know it's gonna be good.
Aw.
Serious, you guys? You couldn't
even leave me any crumbs?
- Ooh, Chim, you missed out.
- Is that chocolate?
- Mmm. Fudge, with nuts.
- I love fudge with nuts.
Oh, damn, you would've loved
these because... scrumptious.

story, about your station.
You can have a true story.
There's truth around us all the time.
There's truth right here on this napkin.
I'm sorry?

No, I do not.
I can see the pollen.
I can hear it.
This is ridiculous.
She's the one who cheated.
She and her demon seed.

Do you know where you are?
We're everywhere, man.
They're on dr*gs.
- (LAUGHING)
- CHIMNEY: Okay, okay.
Oh. Oh, my God, it's the brownies.
- Brownies?
- We got a new batch today.
We've been getting a lot of stuff lately,
especially since the earthquake.
You guys eat that stuff?
We just throw that
stuff right in the trash.
We're firefighters. Everybody loves us.
Oh...
Now watch this.
You see?
Mm-hmm.
Do you know why the
liquid rises like that?
Physics?
I'm gonna do it again.
- I think...
- No, this is show-and-tell.
It's not show-and-touch, Brook.
I don't want you to burn yourself.
I'm Taylor. Who's Brook?
There are so many lights in here.
And colors.
Lights and colors and death.
You d*ed.
Someone d*ed?
Did you lose someone, Captain Nash?
Brook?
She's not lost. She's right here.
She's taller than her mother now.
In a few seconds, she's gonna
be taller than both of us.
TAYLOR: Hmm.
(ECHOES): She's still with you.
(ECHOES): She's always with me.
Nobody's picking up at the fire station.
You should call dispatch,
get them to take everything off-line.
Did that.
Why aren't you taking it out?
They'll take it out at the hospital.
So let's go to the hospital.
We'll get you there. I called .
EDDIE: What's going on?
I don't like this.
- Ooh, you made him cry.
- ATHENA: All right,
just breathe, okay? You're gonna be okay.
All right? Somebody dosed
you with an hallucinogen.
We don't want you to hurt
yourself or anyone else.
Yeah. I like that idea.
'Thena, your head is
b*ating like your heart.
Is it?
Still no answer.
Do you know if Bobby ate
any of those brownies?
(SIREN WAILING)
What happened?
He was high, and then he got higher.
ATHENA: Look at me again
and tell me another joke.
We were talking and he
mentioned something about Brook
and then he sh*t up
like the room was on fire
- and he said he had to go.
- And you're okay filming this?
Who do you think called the cops?
Bobby.
Bobby, it's me.
Just take one step back,
turn around, and we can talk.
- Hey.
- Hey.
They get it wrong, about saving lives.
The ones that we save
are the ones we lose.
That's why we save them
up here, like photographs.
But this, I've never... this is new.
She's so bright and
alive. Can you see her?
No.
It's not real. You know that.
No, my daughter Brook, she's...
she's floating in the
sky, behind your head.
I know it sounds crazy.
I-I just want to float away
with her wherever she goes,
with so much color.
It's not real.
But maybe, just maybe, it can be enough.
Enough for you to say good-bye.
Enough for you to hear her say it's okay.
Enough so that in the morning,
when your head is right
and your eyes are clear,
you can remember that
you caught a glimpse
of what's around us every day.
She's right there.
Right here, right now.
You're real, I'm real.
We can be real together.
Hey, how's the chief?
Ah, he's in pretty
good humor, considering.
- (CHUCKLES)
- Tox report came back.
It was the brownies. LSD.
Mm. Do they know who?
It's still under investigation,
but they figure it
was some sort of prank.
Oh, yeah. Because poisoning
firefighters is just funny. Ha.
- I don't get the punch line.
- Well, how about this one?
Taylor Kelly's exclusive report
on comes out tomorrow night.
Firefighters drugged against their will,
captain loses sobriety, news at : .
Do not waste a moment's
worry on that woman.
It doesn't matter what kind
of take she's trying to spin.
The camera doesn't lie.
Anyone who's watching
is gonna see what I see:
a good man who's been
through some tough times,
but who's come through the other side...
someone who, despite
everything he's lost,
still goes out there and
risks everything he has left
to help others.
- They're gonna see a hero.
- Hmm.
Athena, I'm an addict and an alcoholic
who has barely three days under his belt.
I don't feel like a hero,
I feel like a failure.
But you didn't fall off
the wagon, you were pushed.
I know, but...
I don't feel like a
failure 'cause I got high,
I feel like a failure because
I want to get high again.
Felt good.
No, it made me feel free. I... I...
I didn't feel as much of the
pain, it felt like it was,
far away, like it
belonged to somebody else.
I felt like if I could just keep floating
I wouldn't have to feel it anymore.
Well, when I saw you after that,
it looked like you
were feeling all of it.
Yeah. The reality always catches up.
If it didn't,
none of us would ever get sober again.
But you are, right?
Yes.
But...
Painful, I...
I go to my meetings, I go to church,
I try to stay on track, but...
When I'm sober, I feel this
crushing weight on top of me,
and there are times like
now when I feel like,
I don't know how much longer
I can keep carrying it.
Or maybe you should stop
trying to carry it alone.
...And everything kinda sparkled.
Ah, I'd say it was more glistening,
like the whole world was covered in dew.
You think this is why
people go to Burning Man?
I see them every day on
the streets of Los Angeles
running into burning buildings,
pulling people from wrecked
cars and collapsing high-rises,
and even saving this
reporter from a helicopter
that spun out of control.
Where's Kev?
- No watching with us?
- No, said he had other things to do.
I think his words were he'd rather
do anything other than this.
They are the brave men and women
of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
And it was my own brush with death
that inspired me to share their story,
so you can all see what
it takes and what it means
to be one of them.
Missed a hell of a show.

All right, how bad was it?
No, not bad at all.
You were barely in it.
Um, it was nice,
you know, kind-kind of like a puff piece.
She didn't use any of your
interview or mention the LSD.
Why would she leave that stuff out?
I, uh...
I think she likes me.
Mm.
I mean, what little kid doesn't
want to be a firefighter?
Especially, a hot firefighter.
You know, their skill kept me from dying,
but the way they cared for me,
that's what kept me alive.
The people we serve have to feel
like they can trust us
and be honest with us,
- otherwise mistakes can be made.
- They were great!
And not just the medical stuff
either, I mean, they just...
they seemed like real decent people.
I worry about them,
under so much stress all the time.
I wish I could do something
to ease their burden.
A dose of something
to lift their spirits,
clear their minds.

Sandy, you in here?
(GASPS)
Is that...?
- Uh, uh...
- I don't know.
Some kind of hybrid part
wild, part domestic cat?
Well, let's hope he's in
touch with his domestic side.
Hey, buddy, you're okay.
Sandy?
Sandy?
You sure about this?
Uh, yeah, pretty sure.
This doesn't look safe.
I've freed my mind!
Then I freed them! Oh.
Sandy, how much acid did you take?
Not much. I microdose.
No, ma'am, I don't think you do.
In fact, I think you macrodosed
my entire firestation.
'Cause I put too much?
I... I just wanted to give
you all a little clarity.
In my line of work,
that's called a felony.
(LAUGHS)
All across Los Angeles,
residents are under att*ck
from a new and troubling thr*at:
Aedes aegypti, stealth like mosquitoes
that have invaded the Southland
and are out for blood.
Wow, thank you for that story.
That is some frightening
stuff right there.
Exactly, we were just talking about this
in the studio before we went to air,
- about this very problem...
- Uh,
just a minute, I'll be right there.
Hi. Come on in.
So, I was just out and I saw this
and I thought of you.
What?
- No!
- It's just a housewarming gift.
Oh, not a book.
DVD, Mission Impossible.
Uh, you do have a DVD player, right?
Yeah. And a popcorn maker.
Would you like to hang
out and watch a movie?
Yeah. Yeah, I'd love to.
Doesn't look like you'll have
to worry about traffic anymore.
Hey there. I guess so.
Our department piece
was pretty well received,
so they're letting me do more.
Nothing major yet just mosquitoes
and neighbors fighting about bamboo,
but it's a start.
Well I will miss hearing
your voice everyday.
I'm happy for you and...
and I wanted to thank you
for what you did for Bobby,
not using any of that stuff he said.
Oh, that wasn't my call.
I wanted to use all
of it, I got overruled.
Uh, wait... you were gonna use it?
Oh yeah. The only reason
we didn't is because
apparently your lawyers
are scarier than ours.
Look your job is saving lives.
Mine is telling their stories even
the ones they might not want me to.
That's some stupid job.
It's all you really care about.
Hey, I wanted to be a
reporter since I was .
I put myself through college,
spent years interning for next to no pay,
I did traffic in the hopes that
it would lead to my big break,
which it did.
This stupid job isn't stupid to me.
You don't have to like it
but you don't get to
make me feel bad about it.
Well, I don't like it.
And I don't care.
Just get a room already.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
- Is it...?
- Yeah, okay.
Oh yeah.
- Hey, I got the batteries.
- Hey, you are a lifesaver.
- No problem, no problem. Wow.
- Thank you so much, my man.
- Wow.

I told him to just use a cellphone
camera, but he's old-school.
No, he's a proud father,
he wants those real photos.
All right. You want something to eat?
- We have plenty.
- I'm good.
Hey, hey, Harry!
Come over here and take
one with your sister.
- Right here, right here.
- Run, Bobby. Save yourself.
Just right here.
This doesn't, uh,
resemble my high-school
homecoming at all.
It's much more elaborate
- than I expected.
- I know. Mine either.
I am already dreading prom.
You know about prom proposals, right?
- I do not.
- What?
Google it. Another reason to be
glad we're not teenagers anymore.
HARRY: Your turn, Mom.
Come on, let's get this over with.

Yeah. Let's do this.
Let's do it. All right.
Oh, yeah, that's it. That's it.

Why don't you get in
there? I'll-I'll take a few.

- Yeah.
Oh, man. You know what?
That's nice. That's nice.
- You bet. All right.
- Thank you.
It's the real deal right
here. This is a serious camera.
All right. One happy-looking family.

Oh, honey. What happened
to your bracelet?
It must've fell off. I have to find it.
- Grandma gave that to me.
- Oh.
BOBBY: Wait, I think this
is it right over here.
Yep. All right.
- MAY: Awesome.
- All right.
Okay, May. Let's see if I can do this.
- There we go. Perfect.
- Thanks so much, Bobby.

- All right, we're back in business.
- Okay.
- All right. Look up here.
MICHAEL: Hey, hey, wait
a minute, wait a minute.
Nico, would you mind taking a
picture of all of us, please?
- Bobby, get in here.
- I shouldn't.
It should just be the family.
Come on. Just one. Come on.
