DISPATCH (OVER RADIO):
All units, be advised.

Reports of multiple explosions downtown.

Just keep going.

DISPATCH: b*mb squad en route.
Suspect still at large.


OWEN: There are reports of
casualties on the sixth floor.

Four of 'em kids.

MAN (OVER RADIO):
Captain Strand, possible

second incendiary device
unaccounted for.


You are advised to evacuate your team.

What's the call, Cap?

IC, Strand ,

we're gonna clear the sixth floor
before we evacuate.

Any updates on the second expl*sive?

Let's go.

TOMMY VEGA: Sir, can you
hear me? Is this your father?

No, I was looking for our mom.
I'm with my little sisters.

- Guessing it's a heart att*ck.
- Okay.

Judd, help 'em carry this man down.

- Son, what's your name?
- Jack.

Hey, Jack. You gonna
go with them, alright?

- But my sisters?
- Where are your sisters?

Hiding in the room next door.

Paul, get in and grab 'em.

- PAUL STRICKLAND: Copy that, Cap.
- TOMMY: TK, Nancy, go with them.

(BEEPS)

(expl*si*n)

And you're all dead.

MATEO CHAVEZ:
Oh, man, I don't wanna be dead.

NANCY GILLIAN:
I feel like I might not be dead,

but just more maimed.

Nope, dead.

- Man, that's a cheat.
- Yeah, seriously.

That Jack kid told us
his sisters were in there.

You were also told there might
be a secondary expl*sive device.

That's BS. Cap radioed in
and asked about the other b*mb

and nobody answered.

Now, comm failure is a
real issue in these situations.

That's why they put it in the drill.

The no-win scenario.

Yeah, she totally
Kobayashi Maru-ed our asses.

Take this to the IC downstairs

and let them know that the
is out for the rest of the drill.

For real though, somebody needs
to get this Jack kid an agent.

NANCY: TK, come over here.

We're gonna send a selfie to Marjan.

MATEO: Love it, come on.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Talk
about pretty in pink.

Okay, everybody say "dead sexy."

ALL: Dead sexy.

(LAUGHTER)

You guys think this is a joke?

You think if this had been
the real thing,

you'd be back here laughing
and taking selfies?

You'd be in a body bag.

If they could find
anything of you to put in it.

I suggest you hit the showers

and take a moment to think
about the first responders

who went on calls like this
and never came back.

Show some respect.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

JUDD RYDER: Cap, you got a sec?

Not if you're gonna
tell me I overreacted.

No, I ain't gonna
tell you that for a minute.

I happen to know what it's like to go to

more than one funeral in a week

or even one day for that matter.

They ain't been through
what we've been through.

Yeah, well, they might.

And soon.

Look, those drills
are designed for us to fail.

If it was a different team,
same scenario, it's the same result.

Yeah, I'm not talking about the drills.

Something's coming, Judd.

Something big.

What are you talkin' about?

And I don't think it's any coincidence

that they sprung that drill
on us this week.

- It wasn't on the calendar.
- You know they like to do that.

That's how they keep us on our toes.

No, no, no. It's more than that.

Why do I get the feeling
that this isn't just

the-the hair standing up
on the back of your neck?

(SIGHS)

Because it's not.

You remember the biker g*ng,
the Honor Dogs?

Yeah.

Turns out they're on the FBI's
domestic terror watch list.

- Them guys?
- Yeah.

And a truckload of
ammonium nitrate was stolen

near Laredo three weeks ago.

And the feds are convinced
the Honor Dogs have it

and are planning something.

How do you know all that?

'Cause I've been working with them.

The feds?

So after you and I went to
the, uh, branding that night,

I got a knock on my door.
It was the FBI.

They wanted me to go back.

JUDD: Damn.

Well, hell, Owen, I... what-what
do these idiots wanna do?

I don't know. I never got close enough.

What do the feds think?

I don't know. They've frozen me out.

They won't even return my phone calls.

Do you know why
so many of us d*ed on / ?

'Cause we didn't know
what we were walking into.

Suppose you did?

Well, we still would have gone in,

but our odds sure
would have been better.

No, I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not just gonna sit here
and wait for the tones to go off.

Judd, you're acting captain
till I get back.

Wh-wh-what do I tell people
if they ask where you are?

Tell 'em I'm out there
not taking no for an answer.

BIKER : The feds think
they can play games with us?

We'll see about that.

BIKER : They pushed us too far, Red.

Enough's enough. Time we pushed back.

- BIKER : Yeah!
- BIKER : That's right.

RED: You need to relax, Turner.

They're just trying to get in our heads.

Looks like I might be
interrupting something.

You got a lot of brass, Strand,
coming back in here.

OWEN: You and I need to talk.

Alone.

You wearing a wire again?

No, you can... you can check my junk.

I'll pass. And we don't talk to the feds

or friends of the feds.

I'm just here as a fire captain.

- All I need is a word.
- Tough.

This bar's closed to you
from here on out.

You understand? So walk
out before you get dragged out.

BIKER: Yeah!

Well this bar is gonna be
closed to everybody

unless you talk to me.

What the hell's that supposed to mean?

Just that I'm seeing
a lot of code violations.

Blocked egress over there,
that's a fire hazard.

No occupancy load signs.

Ceiling isn't up to code,
that's a big one.

I'm gonna have to write you up
for that one for sure.

I'm saying I will shut you down

quicker than you can say,
"Don't tread on me."

Fine.

What the hell do you want?

Oh, well, we can do it like this then.

I know about the ANFO.

And so do the feds.

You give up everything you have,

maybe you could still
make some sort of a deal.

ANFO?

Look, you once told me that
you revered first responders.

I'm inclined to believe you.

Whatever message you think
you're gonna be making

with the expl*sives that you h*jacked,

you're just gonna be
hurting good people.

BIKER: What's he talking about?

Very moving speech, Strand.

But I got no idea
what you're talking about.

- TY O'BRIEN: What a mess.

You have any idea
how the hell this happened?

The working theory is
that they were storing

the ANFO at the clubhouse,
and somebody accidentally detonated it.

At the exact moment a fed tac-team
comes through the door?

Come on, you don't actually
believe that, do you?

I didn't say it was my working theory.

Captain Strand.

I wanna thank you
for being with Rose at the end.

Thank your crew for me, too.

I'm sorry about your team.

Yeah.

Hell of a way to close a case.

Agent Biondi, I don't think
this case is closed.

It is for now.
Prime suspect's in recovery.

Rest of his crew's in no shape
to do any more damage.

It's for the courts to sort out.

Red Pickney is not your prime suspect.

- He's your victim.
- And a witness.

Not acting like much of a witness.

He refuses to talk to us.

Yeah, 'cause he hates you.

Look, that clubhouse was targeted.

What happened today was not an accident.

The blast radius alone
would only account

for a quarter of the ANFO
you've been looking for.

This isn't over.
It's just the opening act.

You need to let us talk to Red.

I told you, he's not talking.

He's not talking to you.

OWEN: (SIGHS) Hey, Red.

Nothing to say to you... snitches.

Yeah, I figured you might
say something like that.

Have they told you
what happened to your people?

In my experience, the doctors
don't like to do that.

It's too stressful on the patient.

Red, of your brothers are dead.

Turner made it to surgery,
but they lost him on the table.

They think you're responsible.

They don't like your politics.
They think you're a t*rror1st.

Of course, they do.

They think anybody that still believes

in the Bill of Rights...
is a damn t*rror1st.

Alright, then help me prove them wrong.

When I entered the bar today,

you guys were in some sort of a meeting.

Who else knew you called it?

I didn't call it.

It wasn't me.

They already know that everybody
in the room got a text from you.

It wasn't... me.

Someone spoofed my number
and lured us all there.

Everybody was freaking out. I...

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

...told 'em not to panic.

And then you... then you walked in.

Well, who else could have done it?

Oh, I got a pretty good idea.

Hothead kid.

Lot of crazy ideas, so we booted him.

He's gonna get himself k*lled.

OFFICER: Got him.

OFFICER: Come on. Let's go, move it!

Andy!

Andy, my name is Owen.

I'm here to help you.

I'm a friend of your Uncle Ty's.

I know who you are. Stay back.

You don't have to do this.

- He's gonna k*ll my family.
- OWEN: No.

Your family's okay.

I know that's a lie.

JOANNE (OVER PHONE): Andy? Andy?

- Jo?
- JOANNE: Yeah. We're okay. We're safe.

Your uncle and another police officer,

they saved us. Mikey's arrested.

Please, baby, just come home to us.

I love you. I love you so much, baby.

Okay, it's over. You can get out.

Take your hand off the detonator.

Oh, man, it's too late. It's too late.

What do you mean it's too late?

It's on a timer.

There's nothing I can do to stop it.

Please. You need to run.

Andy, do the radios or sirens work?

No, the thing's a shell.
It drives, that's pretty much it.

Okay. Alright. He's coming out.

He's coming out. Everything's okay.

He's fine.

He's coming out.

Sir, but the timer.

OWEN: I need you to step out,
put your hands on your head

and do whatever they say.

- OFFICER : Hands up.
- OFFICER : Put your hands up.

- And get down on the ground.
- OFFICER : Hands, hands!

- Hands up!
- Hands, hands, hands.

Put your hands up
and get down on the ground.

What the hell? I thought
he just said everything's fine.

Yeah. Clearly not.

OWEN: I am on th Street,
and Colorado in a ambulance.

I have an expl*sive set to a detonator

timed to go off in... seconds.

That's not the call
I was expecting to get.

Owen, we gotta get you
somewhere with a lot of open space.

OWEN: That's why I'm calling. I'm
headed to Mount Cavalry Cemetery.

I need you to alert everybody
there to clear the area.

Uh-huh, Owen. I- 's too
backed up, you'll never make that.

I'm open to suggestions.

The parking lot next to UT's stadium,

- there are no games today.
- OWEN: No.

That is too close to the dorms.

I got , pounds of ANFO in here.

ANFO? You're absolutely sure?

I'm pretty sure.

Okay, then I need you
to take a right immediately.

No, but that's back into town.

Just do it, Owen.

Alright.

Now, take a right onto Trinity.

And a quick left on Congress.

(HORN BLARING)

Alright, I'm on Congress.

GRACE RYDER:
Okay, now I need you to g*n it.

Grace, where the hell am I going?

There's a boat ramp into the river

six blocks from you. You're going in.

ANFO goes completely inert
when it's submerged underwater.


Okay, Grace, I need a favor.

Yeah, anything.

Just say a little prayer that
nobody's using that boat ramp.

I will, and I'll say
a prayer for you too, Owen.

I appreciate that.

(SIGHS DEEPLY) Oh, God.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

OWEN: Oh, Grace, we're
in luck, there's nobody there.

Thank God you're still in good standing.

GRACE: Okay, yeah,
that's really good to hear.


But you should be
jumping out, like, now.

Copy that.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(HORN BLARES)

(expl*si*n)

Thank God, another two seconds...

Yeah, and half of
downtown Austin would be dead.

- Us too.
- (ALL LAUGHING)

Why are y'all laughing?

Wh...

What are you laughing at?

I don't know.

Hey, what the hell is going on?

Ammonium nitrate doesn't explode
when it's underwater.

It... It converts into laughing
gas when it's heated.

- Oh!
- Probably from the detonator.

- Yeah!
- Hell, why do you know that?

You guys really need
to reread the manual again.

- It's in the manual!
- (LAUGHING CONTINUES)

(SCREAMS)

_

Easy, man.

Alright? Look, I know that was some BS,

but it ain't worth ruining
a perfectly good helmet.

How could they throw me out
for saying that we should

actually do what
they always talk about doing?

Dude, because that's
all they do is talk.

I-I mean, they play dress-up
and they talk.

I came here for a lot more than that.

So what did you come here for?

To take action.

To wake people up.

You know how you wake people up?

With a loud noise.

ANDY: I was really angry, but...

I should have just walked away.

But instead you entered into
a criminal conspiracy with him.

ANDY: It was the
biggest mistake of my life.

But by the time I realized it,
it was too late.

And at what point would that have been?

Ho, ho, ho.

What the hell is this?

Christmas in July.

ANDY: What'd you do?

I took action.

(MAN GRUNTING)

ANDY: Mikey!

Don't worry. He didn't see my face.

ANDY: That's gotta be over
a thousand pounds of ANFO.

Oh, it's a lot more than that, brother.

It's gonna change the game.

Come on, let's go.

CHUCK: So what happens next?

ANDY: I told him I
didn't sign up for that.

That I have a wife and son
to think about.

CHUCK: How did he respond?

ANDY: He threatened them.

He told me if I didn't go
through with it, he'd k*ll them.

And I knew after the hiker, he meant it.

The hiker we found
near the exploded bus?

(expl*si*n)

(PANTING) Hey. You okay?

- Yeah.
- What the hell are you doing here, man?

I really wish you hadn't seen that.

(g*n COCKS)

(g*nsh*t)

We should go.

ANDY: After that, it, it
all happened pretty fast.

He forced me to help him
pack the ANFO into beer kegs

to take out the clubhouse.

I packed the ambulance
and I took it to the Capitol.

Weren't you just an eager beaver.

He had my family.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

(SOFTLY): I know.

Anything else to say, Mr. Pearson?

(SIGHS)

Yes. (SNIFFLES)

I just wanna thank you.

All of you...

for saving my family.

And you.

For saving me.

Not just me, but all those people.

If it weren't for you, it would
have been so much worse.

How you holding up?

(SIGHS) I've been better.

Twenty-year plea.

He's gonna watch that little boy grow up

from the inside a prison visiting room.

At least he's gonna be able
to watch him grow up.

Without a father.

Just like Andy didn't have a father.

Owen, I promised my sister
on her deathbed

that I would do what I could
to look after him.

I moved back to Texas.

Busted myself back down to traffic cop.

None of it made a difference.

It made a difference.

He's alive.

And so's his son.

TY: Owen, I, uh...

Thanks for being a pain in my ass.

It's what I do.

(SIGHS)

Hey, champ.

Come here. Give us a hug.

Ohh, yeah!

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

TK: Dad?

I had a yen for Chinese.

- TK: Um...
- Wordplay.

I thought I'd surprise you.

Well, I'm certainly surprised.

I should have called first.

Don't be ridiculous, Owen.

You sure? You sure I'm not intruding?

Sure, here, I'll get you
a glass of wine.

Hey, is that the place we used
to get takeout from with Mom?

Yep.

Son, have I told you recently
how proud I am of you?

Um... not recently,

but it hasn't been an eternity either.

Well... I am.

Thanks, Dad.

Um, what brought this up?

OWEN: Well, just
the fact that throughout

all of our ups and downs,

you have never once tried to
blow up a government building.

(CHUCKLES) Thanks?

I'll drink to that.

Mm. This is nice.

So, the wedding.

- Yeah.
- (SINGSONGY) It's coming up.

- TK: Yes, it is.
- I have thoughts.

And here's what they are.
First of all...

There's always a temptation, I think.

When it's your first wedding.

Hopefully there won't
be a second one, right?

But when it's your first wedding...
