This group of Black firefighters...

This is progress.

[APPLAUSE]

I-I wrote this speech two weeks ago, and, uh, I stand by these words, but let me add this...

The Floyd family and all Black people suffered a loss.

A brother was taken from us with a cruelty that we know is there but we try hard every day to forget.

My heart is hurting.

This is the way it is in .

Why are we still participating in a system that seeks to do us harm?

Well, I'm gonna tell you what my mentor, Claude Harris, told me back then.

We do this for each other.

We stay in the department, we rise up the ranks, we create a fairer space.

Take pride in the fact that, as Black firefighters, our very existence is a revolution.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

Enjoy your dinner.

No real change.

- We need the police.

- Not like this.

Not a militarized police force that shows up with their g*ns drawn to situations, sir, that would be better served by mental healthcare professionals.

Look, the point of the police clearing a potentially violent scene before we enter is to make sure that a firefighter doesn't have to get treated instead of a patient.

I mean, you want to pull their funding?

Calls to defund are calls to reallocate some of the funds to services that improve lives, and that reallocation, sir, will benefit the community and the police force.

Or would you prefer to answer some questions in private?

- No, it's.

Miranda Bailey, Chief of Surgery at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

O-kay.

So, Dr.

Warren, when's the last time you ejaculated?

Oh.

Um.

[SIGHS]

Yeah, um, well, you know, my wife and I, we, um.

.

.

But I've been at the fire station for months.

.

.

Ben, for God's sakes, the man is a physician.

Um, we had intercourse to completion several hours ago.

It was the first time in two months since we've been quarantining apart more than together.

So, yes, there was a lot of ej*cul*te.

- Oh.

- Um, but probably, there's more to go, right?

It's a spermatocele, right?

I mean, that.

That makes the most sense.

Well, let's get a few more angles.

- Ooh!

- Sorry.

Almost got it.

And we're done.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Alright, here's a towel.

Well, it's a mass, and given your labs showing elevated alpha-fetoprotein, my guess is some sort of mixed germ cell tumor.

- [GARBAGE CAN OPENS, CLOSES]

- Uh, guess?

We.

.

.

We need to know for sure.

As do I, which means doing an orchiectomy to remove the testicle, then we'll analyze the tissue.

What?

Uh, you don't want to do a biopsy first?

Unreliable for cases like this.

You just can't scoop the whole thing out on a whim.

Well, this is not a whim.

You made the decision in five seconds.

It feels like a whim.

Dr.

Bailey, I'm a board certified urologist.

And I'm an anesthesiologist and a surgeon and a firefighter.

- Firefighter?

- Yes.

Well, then there's definitely.

.

.

A correlation between my job and the lump.

- Yes, I know.

- [SIGHS]

Well, I'm sorry for giving you bad news.

I hate implying the C-word as much as you hate hearing it, but you already knew what I might say today, or else you wouldn't have driven all the way over here across town for this secret appointment instead of going to see your colleagues at Grey Sloan.

W-W-What about chemo?

What if I did chemo and no surgery?

Would that work?

Chemo isn't definitive.

This is the only way to go.

These tumors can metastasize quickly, which means there's no time to lose.

[WAVES LAPPING]

They m*rder*d him.

Who?

Chief?

George Floyd, man.

They m*rder*d him.

You saw it.

We all saw it.

He's gone.

He wasn't doing anything to anyone.

That could've been me.

The day we found Jada in that basement and that cop slammed my face into the ground.

.

.

If that had been a bad cop, it would've been me, and Pru would've been alone.

But because I had a decent cop on the scene, I get a second chance, and George doesn't.

.

.

He doesn't get anything.

And the cops just.

.

.

Everyone just watched.

I don't know.

Nobody did anything.

No one could do anything.

I mean, e-everyone who was there that day, I-I'm sure they.

.

.

They felt as powerless as we did watching that video.

If that happened to me, Pru would be alone.

And she could end up in a basement like Jada, because nobody was looking out for her because I was taken out first.

And then what do I do on my second chance?

Huh?

!

I die in the ocean!

Okay, look, no one is dying today, okay?

!

And you're not getting taken out first.

L-Look.

Look, even.

.

.

even if that did happen, you can't control what takes you out.

Look, a-all you can do is fight as hard as you can to stay alive so that you can make sure that Pru doesn't end up alone, so.

.

.

so that you can be the kind of father who stepped up and said.

.

.

said, "Yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna raise my kid with no help, no plan, just.

.

.

even if parenthood is just sprung on me.

" The kind of dad who.

.

Who did get in that cop's face, you took that risk because he knew that that was the first step to making the world a better place for his kid.

Right?

One where.

and says, "Yeah, t-that may happen to me, but I am making sure that it never happens to you.

" The kind of dad who is still holding onto this dead man's body, even though it makes this nightmare of a situation % harder for himself, because it is the right thing to do.

It's reckless, Ben.

It's righteous.

You always do the right thing and worry about the details later.

We'd like an update.

Just so you both know, we are behind you all %.

Well, we didn't ask for that.

Oh, well, you have it.

Well, we don't need it.

I imagine the fire department isn't thrilled with you, right?

Uh, no, and the police department isn't, either.

But if that's what it takes to get eyes on the issues, then I'll deal with a few parking tickets.

My great-grandfather built the railroads that run across this country.

His son then tried to set up a life here with a small store, and in success, it was b*rned down.

My grandparents rebuilt it, but it was b*rned to the ground three more times, always while law enforcement just watched.

Because we were Chinese.

Ultimately, they moved back to Hong Kong and made their fortune there.

I say "back to," but they were American born and bred.

.

.

just not in the eyes of their fellow citizens.

The only reason they survived everything was because they were a family.

They had family to lean on, even when the very foundation of their world was shaken.

It's not a shark.

Relax.

It was a blue bottle.

Okay, you got stung by a jellyfish.

- Why didn't you say anything?

- Well, I was trying to!

Yeah?

How did you know?

Well, I got.

I got.

I got stung earlier.

What?

You didn't react or nothing.

Yeah, well, I guess I'm just tougher than you.

No, look, I just.

I didn't want to panic.

What if nobody finds us, man?

I don't want to die.

Peace with death, given our profession, man, but I don't wanna die.

[SIGHS]

I can't leave Pru without a father.

She already doesn't have a mother.

Yeah, well, maybe her mom will come back from India with a mental reawakening.

Ben, I can't die before I tell the only woman that I want to be her mother that I love her.

What.

.

What, now?

- What, JJ?

- No.

- Condola?

- No.

Victoria.

Hughes.

What?

I'm in love with Victoria Hughes, man.

I'm about to die, and I never told her.

And she'll never know, and.

.

I'll never know, as crazy as it sounds, if she would have been into it, too.

We could have lived happily ever after, Ben.

I mean, we could have lived happily ever after, just me, Hughey, and Pruey.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, don't say anything.

- I.

- Don't.

Okay, say something.

Just nothing about Hughes.

I mean, look.

BEN: I thought that moving around a bit might help.

But, uh.

Nope.

I'm still freezing.

DEAN: Yup.

Now, Ben, I'm serious.

I want you and Bailey to take Pru if anything happens to me.

We are prepared to step up, if we have to, but we won't have to.

You have your village to raise your boys, regardless of what course of treatment you take and no matter what happens to you.

But me and Pru are on our own, and our job can snuff us out at any moment, and Pru will be on her own.

No, Miller.

.

no, you are not.

.

You're not on your own, man.

A-And she never will be.

My village is your village.

And she's got your parents and Hughes and JJ's new tycoon parents.

Hey.

And she will always have me.

As in, if anything ever did happen to you, I give you my word, I will dad for Pru, too.

I am literally holding onto your arm right now.

I got you.

- Oh.

Yeah, except it's not all on you.

Joey was literally living on the street just a year ago.

If my wife hadn't taken him home without asking me, he'd still be back there.

But now.

.

[CHUCKLES]

Now the sky's the limit for the kid.

Would there be a big incision?

Not too bad.

You know, just.

.

.

Just here, along the inguinal line.

Is there a long recovery?

I mean, I can be on my feet the next day.

Will it look weird down there?

No, I'd have an implant, so i-it would be symmetric.

How would they control the bleeding once they cut you with the scalpel?

Oh, a scalpel's only for the skin incision.

And once you get down to the tissue, then they use a tool called a Bovie, which, it.

.

.

Well, it.

.

.

It zaps while it cuts.

Is that called electrocautery?

There you go.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, i-it cuts by making little burns.

That way, there isn't any bleeding.

Sounds to me like you'd have this surgery in the bag.

If you wanted to get it done.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, yeah, alright.

You like medical stuff, don't you?

You, uh.

.

you don't get grossed out by it at all.
