03x18 - A Bright and Cloudless Morning

[bunniefuu]

You guys have the most sophisticated

health and fitness algorithm
on the market.

But you're broke.

Why?

Because we don't do it for the money.

I do. We're just not making any.

What? It's true, Brandy.

It's because you don't have
the right exposure.

I'm not interested in your PR, Max.

MAX: I could just buy you outright.

But I'd rather have you on board.

Alright, round two, here we go.

I don't know how you got me
another sh*t at this,

but, thanks, Dad.

Well, Wyatt, you didn't
mess it up the first time, I did.

And, uh, I ain't exactly
got you another sh*t yet.

Hold on, you haven't spoken to him yet?

You really think you're just
gonna waltz into Max Keller's office

and have a conversation with him?

Yeah, that's pretty much the idea.

Watch this.

(GRUNTS)

You guys incubate your next app here

inside our walls.

And I will put the full might
of Tele-Lively

behind you when you launch.

(WINCES)

SECURITY GUARD: Folks been complaining

of a rotten egg smell in the lobby.

- GAS WORKER: Just the lobby?
- (SIGHS)

Show me where the meter's at.

- Basement. This way.
- Basement.

MAX: We are actually
bringing in a pastry chef...

Hey. You can't go in there.

JUDD: It's only gonna take a second.

Howdy.

Howdy, yourself.

Sorry to interrupt your meeting here.

I think you met my son yesterday.

- Wyatt Harris.
- What-what do I do with that?

- (MAX LAUGHS)
- The kid in the suit.

Agent Smith.

Okay. Okay. Thank you.

And now I get to meet his dad.

This is, this is, this is too good.

Yeah, well, I understand that he
kind of belly-flopped the interview,

but that was my fault
'cause I sent him in here

dressed up in that monkey suit.

The truth about my son is,
he's brilliant.

He's a really kind kid.

And he's graduating next week
as valedictorian.

And, you know, I think he'd bring
a lot of value to your company.

So this is me just coming in to ask

if you'd be willing
to give him another sh*t.

You remind me of my father.

- Oh.
- I hate my father.

So why don't you please
take your giant crutches

and just mosey on
out of here... in peace,

or I will call security.

Mechanical room's right here.

Ninety-eight PPM and climbing.

We shouldn't be down here.
We have to evacuate.

What-what-what was that?

Oh, my God.

(ALARM BLARING)

Y'all get down and cover your heads.

(RUMBLING)

(RUMBLING CONTINUES)

GWYNETH: Mm.

You are a terrible alarm clock.

Oh, come on.

I thought that that was better

than the traffic report.

(LAUGHS) I'll say.

But now I don't wanna
get out of bed and I...

No, don't. Don't.

Bad, bad alarm clock. Bad alarm clock.

(GWYNETH CHUCKLES)
Owen, I have a deposition.

- Skip it.
- I can't skip it.

They're making me partner.

Hmm. Quit.

And TK needs to get to school.

Well, he's seven. He can walk.

Wow, we are really

full of good suggestions
this morning, aren't we?

Full of something.

This is a perfect moment.

We should make it last.

You can't preserve a perfect moment.

That's why they call it a moment.

And I have a deposition.

Well, we have a lifetime
of perfect moments ahead of us.

(SIGHS)

DR. JACOBS (ECHOING):
It's not what I'm hoping to see,

but your CT scan does show
a new mass in your right lung.

It doesn't necessarily mean

that it's a recurrence of the cancer.

It could be a few things.

So we're not leaping to any conclusions.

We're just, we're gonna take
this one step at a time, okay?

Owen, did you hear anything I just said?

(SCOFFS) Yeah, I heard
CT scan, mass, lung.

And did you also hear me say

that we are gonna take
this one step at a time?

- I thought we got all of it.
- We did.

So what is that, it's new cancer?

We don't even know if this is cancer.

We need to do a biopsy.

So if you have time,
I'd like to do that now.

You know, send a sample
right away to the lab.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Okay.

I walk into the loft,

Carlos is sitting at the counter

cool as a breeze...

Which is that man's resting state.

NANCY: And?

And he was updating his will.

Was he taking you out of it?

What? No.

You guys don't think that's morbid

that he was just sitting there

with his last will and testament
like it was Sudoku?

I mean, I didn't even know
he had a will.

So then we got into this stupid fight

because now he's on me
because I don't have a will.

Hold up. You don't have a will?

- You do?
- Yeah.

Bro, we risk our lives every day.

Plus it's just sound financial planning.

Alright, now you sound like Carlos.

TK, if anyone on this planet
should have a will, it's you.

- Me?
- Yeah, you.

Near-death experience guy.
You're like the NDE MVP.

Do you remember when you got
hypothermia saving that kid?

Or when you got sh*t by that other kid?

Mm-hmm. Bro, maybe you should
stay away from kids.

No, you guys don't get it.

The only reason I survived
those close calls

is because I don't have a will.

Because that makes sense.

I'm serious.

Once I sign that dotted line, that's it.

The Grim Reaper
is gonna collect his due.

- Good God, that is dark.
- It's kind of mental.

It's idiotic.

Death isn't a credit card debt,
it's a part of life.

And a hazard of this job.

You can't cheat it.

So stop acting like a child,

get your act together.

(EXHALES)

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Captain Strand.

Captain Vega.

Owen, is everything okay?

Yeah.

No, Uh... it's hard to say.

What's going on?

I went to my oncologist

who I thought was
no longer my oncologist.

I'd had a physical and there's a...

there's a mass in my lung.

Oh, Owen. I'm so sorry.

They did a biopsy and...
now I just have to wait.

My plan was to come
right down here and tell TK,

but, uh, being candid with him
about my health status

has always been a weak spot.

And did you?

Nope.

But I did tell him he needed a will.

He needed a will?

And that he should grow up
and stop acting like a child.

Not terrible advice.

WYATT: I don't know. I don't know.

There was just an expl*si*n

- Brandy?
- Yeah, I think so.

I'm-I'm okay.

LYLE: What the hell happened?

JUDD (COUGHS): Some sort
of a structure failure.

Yeah, there was an expl*si*n.

Yeah, I heard a big boom
before everything went down.

We gotta get outta here.

There's a stairwell on this hall.

Let's go.

No, no, no.
Don't take those stairs. Don't.

Why the hell not?

JUDD: 'Cause it looks
to me like we're on

the side of the building that collapsed.

So we need to move away from the failure

and find another way out.

Wait, why should we listen to you?

JUDD: 'Cause I'm years a firefighter.

If you stick with me,
I'll get you out of here.

You are a cr*pple.

I'm a firefighter.

Yeah, I'm sticking with that dude.

I take you got wind
of what happened here.

All we know is that there's been
a partial building collapse,

but there's no word on what caused it.

Did you hear from Wyatt?

'Cause I left him parked out front.

Wyatt's fine, baby.
He's just worried about you.

(MOUTHS) Yeah.

But he does know you're alive,

so let's keep it that way.

- Do you know
- what floor you're on?

Well, we-we was on the sixth floor,

now I reckon we're on the fifth.

Who's we?

Can't get here soon enough.

RECEPTIONIST: Hello?

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

You ever see anything like this?

(WAILING CONTINUES)

Oh, I have.

Alright, let's find the IC.

TK, Nancy, go get as many
supplies as you can carry.

We're gonna join triage.

Yeah.

Hey. Isn't that Judd's kid?

Report is some kind of expl*si*n
at the sublevel.

Folks on the lower floors heard a boom,

followed by hammering all around.

It's the cracking of rebar
in its concrete.

Right.

A reinforced shear wall came down,

took three support columns with it.

It's a wonder this much of it
is still standing.

Well, we gotta get these
people outta here now.

The good news is they were
renovating the building,

so it's mostly unoccupied.

There's still some folks
stuck on an upper floor.

Captain Strand, one of 'em's yours.

Judd Ryder's in there.

(JUDD GROANS)

GRACE: Judd, the is on the scene.

I'm connecting you
to Captain Strand. Go ahead.

Hey, Judd, how you doing in there?

JUDD (OVER RADIO): I'm more,
more or less in one piece now, Cap.

But me and the folks I'm up here with

could use an assist getting out.

OWEN: Yeah, that's what
we're working on right now.

Listen, I need you
to avoid the stairwells

that are closest to you,
they're compromised.

We've got reports of spot fires.

You'd asphyxiate before you even

made it to the ground floor.

I'm pretty sure the elevators
ain't working either.

Alright, I've got the
building plans in front of me.

Captain Strand,
can you describe the damage?

OWEN: The lobby's gone.

North side is a no.

You're gonna have to lead people

to the southeast corner of the building.

Those stairwells
are gonna be your best bet.

Alright, I do see a stairwell
on the southeast corner,

but it's gonna be about
a -foot trek to get there.

That's assuming that the way is clear.

Then it's just...

- Six flights down.
- GRACE: Five, sweetheart.

You guys took the first flight
down the hard way, remember?

My leg's broke again, Grace,

and it's screaming at me
pretty good right now.

GRACE: Baby, listen.

Every part of you is gonna be screaming

if you don't get out of there.

OWEN: Judd, could you
handle two stories?

There's some kind of a roof garden

on the southeast side.

Yep, two flights is better than five.

That sounds like a plan. I'm...

I'm gonna have to put you
in my pocket, Gracie.

I'm gonna need both my hands.

Hang up and get moving.

I love you.

I love you, too.

You get home, okay?

Hey, you know where that roof
deck is that he's talking about?

Uh, yeah, yeah. I was gonna
put a members-only club there.

Get these three there
as fast as you can, sir.

- What about you?
- JUDD: Don't wait for me.

I'll be right there. Y'all go ahead.

(RUMBLING)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Just lean on me.
- JUDD: Mr. Keller...

No, no. We would all be dead
of smoke inhalation already

if it wasn't for you, okay?

Lyle, Lyle, get on the other side.

I'm stronger than you.

- Alright. We got this.
- Let's go, let's go.

Move, move, move, move, move, move.

My wife and my daughter
will be grateful to y'all.

And, Mr. Keller,
maybe we could have a word

about my son getting this job.

If we make it out.

MAX: He's already got the job, okay?

And if we actually get out of here,

he's already been promoted. Twice.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay, let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

It's my fault he's in there.

If I hadn't tanked
on my first interview...

If you hadn't tanked
on your first interview,

you'd have that job.

Which means he would
have been in there anyway

looking for you.

Trust me when I tell you.

He prefers it this way.

Alright, .

Stage a ladder down here.

Extend the aerial up to the roof deck.

- MARJAN: On it, Cap.
- PAUL: Okay, we got it.

Did you talk to him? Is he okay?

He's tough.

We're gonna
get him out of there, alright?

Hey, Captain, you said there
was a sublevel gas expl*si*n?

Most likely. We shut
the mains off the street level.

The gas company didn't do it, did they?

CAPTAIN ANDREWS (OVER RADIO): No.

I saw the guy
driving the truck go in there

right before the expl*si*n
with a security guard.

- You see them come out?
- No.

Alright, there are
more people in this building.

- Mateo.
- Yep?

You and two more strong backs.

We're going in.

CAPTAIN ANDREWS: If they
were at the point of ignition,

their chances of being survivors...

Is greater than you think.

Excuse me. Coming through.

So clear out.

Austin FD.

Anybody in here?

(LIGHTS FIZZLING)

MATEO: Cap, we sure
they shut off the gas?

PPMs are off the charts.

There was enough gas in the expl*si*n

to bring the house down,

so there's probably some pockets left.

is infinitely more powerful

than the fear of losing it.

And every moment that we're not
married is a wasted moment.

And, baby, we... we only get so many.

- And every day...
- Tyler.

Can I say yes now?

Can I say yes now?

I sure hope so.

Then, yes...

a thousand times yes.

You're not just saying yes

so you could go back to sleep, right?

I mean, maybe. Maybe.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER PA)

Well, well, look who's
flaunting their uprightness.

- About to get sprung?
- Yeah.

Not a moment too soon.

You know, I think they were thinking of

renaming this entire wing
after the Strand family.

I bet you that comes
with a hell of a parking spot.

Where are the girls?

JUDD: Oh, I sent 'em home.

Poor Grace now has two relations

that aren't walking very well, so...

When is the new recovery timeline?

She told me about three weeks
more than the old timeframe.

- That's a lucky break.
- It's two.

I got, I got six lucky screws
in there too.

Phew.

How about you,
the department letting you

get right back at it?

In a couple of days.

Captain Scofield's there now.

But I hear Marjan
is really running the show.

Well, I bet you old Scofield'll
be happy when you get back.

Listen...

when the day finally does come

and they really do
have to fill that chair,

I just want you to know the department

has my recommendation in file.

Assuming you ever
get back on your feet...

the is your command.

It's your house, Judd.

Always has been.

I appreciate that, Owen.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

So do we make a speech?

We could.

Something heartfelt,

thanking them for being there for us?

Sounds good.

Or we could put a ring on your finger

and you could ask them,
"Does this make me look engaged?"

Let's stick with heartfelt, okay?

- Yeah.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)

- Hey!
- Hey.

TK: Hey, guys.

Hey, man.

You look great, man.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Wow!

- This is amazing. What a spread.
- Uh, thank you for coming.

Okay, this looks amazing.

TK: Where's Nance and Mateo?

Oh, they were making out
in the parking lot,

so they missed the elevator.

Not that we saw them.

Hey, hey, party can start now.

Wow, look at that spread!

- Didn't wanna hold the elevator, huh?
- Nope.

Guys, we are so happy
that you're with us today.

Yeah, to get that b*at down
coming your way.

Paladins never say die.

Actually, before we start...

Oh...

We just wanted to say
that you guys have been just...

Hold up. Is this Taleggio cheese?

And Wagyu salami?

It is, in fact.

Um, but I just wanted to say
that you guys have been...

No, no. Something's going on here.

(SOFTLY) Heartfelt speech?
Heartfelt speech?

Guys, that champagne?

No, it's sparkling cider.

Mm-hmm. Because TK doesn't drink.

But there's gonna be a toast.

- No way.
- Yes way.

- Yes way?
- Yes way?

Oh, my God.

Yes way.

MARJAN: Oh, my God.

Okay, I'm a little lost here.

ALL: They're engaged!

- No way!
- (CHEERING)

Oh-ho!

Yo, I'm so happy for you!

- Dibs on best man.
- No, no, no, no.

- That is not how this works.
- It is when you say it first.

First? You were literally
the last one to know.

Guys, guys, it's okay
because we get two best men.

- PAUL: Hey!
- But do they have to be men?

Well, yeah, no.

- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
- (LAUGHTER)

Hey!

Aw. Mm.

Thank you for making this work
on such short notice.

TOMMY: Of course.

Your message said you had news.

I do indeed.

Oh, I hope you don't mind,
I took the liberty of ordering.

Oh, okay. Well, what is it?

Just taste it first.

Um, it's better than explaining it.

TOMMY: Mm! Mm-hmm.

- OWEN: Right?
- Is that almond milk?

It's called a Gibraltar.

And it turns out
it is the perfect beverage

with which to celebrate...

my fungal infection.

Your fungal infection?

My fungal infection.

You have a fungal infection?

I do. Inside me.

Owen... Oh, that's fantastic news.

Oh, congratulations.

Well, on not having cancer,

which I'm assuming
that's what this means.

Indeed it does.

Aspergillosis. You ever heard of it?

I most certainly have.

It's an occupational hazard for us.

It shows up as a nodule,

which can look a lot like cancer.

- Turns out it is not.
- Yes!

My oncologist, who is now once
again no longer my oncologist,

tells me I'm % still in remission.

Yes.

I just wanted to say that
to another living human being.

Well, I'm honored
you found me qualified.

Well, honestly, my fungal infection

was just an elaborate ruse

because it has taken too long
for the two captains of the

to sit down outside the firehouse.

And I wanted to fix it.

(CHUCKLES) Well, you have
been buried at work.

Ahh! I see what you did there.
