Station 19

Me either.

You know what that means?

It means you're crazy.

Forty...

Right. 47.

47 days until my hearing.

Yep. Officially.

And you'll be my...

how do you sign "sister" again?

Right. Sister.

Can I sleep here, too, Jack?

Sure.

You're going?

Yep.

It was fun.

We've got another hour, if you want to stay.

And what? Snuggle?

I got a husband already, Jack.

Oof. All right.

Ooh. I'm sweating whiskey.

It's gonna be a rough morning.

You know, I was thinking about our nutrition at the station.

Our purchases are all over the place.

And Dean is always splurging on red meat.

There's no balance. Hang on. I-I made you this smoothie.

It's got the exact amount of protein that you...

Hi. Long time, no houseboat.

What is that?

Ugh. I know. I'm super fat 'cause I'm having a baby.

Hmm.

It's yours, by the way. Is this an okay time?

Where is she?

With the brass.

"Yes, that was me on the Wheaties box.

Thanks for noticing."

"Boy, you're awfully blond for a captain."

"I'm tall. And I'm serious.

And I haven't smiled since 1990."

Yeah. Nope.

I'm just gonna say it.

That chick was lieutenant for, like, five minutes.

She was an Olympian. Yeah, not a baby chicken.

Well, it's better than an outside hire.

No, it's great. It's great. It's Maya.

We love Maya. We do. We totally do.

But do we love Captain Maya?

- Hey, you okay? - Uh...

Yeah. You know, I've been better.

For what it's worth, we all thought the job was yours.

I thought so, too.

Line up in the barn, ASAP.

Thank you.

If I learned anything from training for the Olympics,

I learned that success isn't something you chase after.

Success is something you cultivate.

It's grown within. That's what we train for.

Every moment of every day should be considered training.

On your days off, at the grocery store,

brushing your teeth.

Every moment can be designed

to make you a better firefighter.

I get it. This is a big change,

and yes, there are going to be some big changes,

but I am asking for your trust.

I have worked beside you all for years.

I know how this team functions. I know how to strengthen it.

Our new fire chief is also committed

to creating systems to help us better serve our communities.

So, starting today,

we will be patrolling high-risk areas in our aid car.

You want us to patrol? Like cops?

It's a health initiative.

Gibson and Warren, you're on patrol today.

The rest of you will join me in a mandatory group workout.

Go, team.

Gym in five, people.

Mandatory group workout? Is she kidding?

Okay, it's a workout. It's a workout, okay?

We work out every day.

Hey, where's Miller?

Okay, so, after our last hook-up,

I was like, "No more. No more empty sex,"

and I went on this whole, like, spiritual journey...

you know, reading a lot of Eckhart Tolle

and dealing with my pain body,

really digging into my childhood

and practicing celibacy and sitting with myself,

for the first time ever, maybe.

And then, while I was on tour with Beck...

super nice guy, by the way... I noticed...

well, I took five pregnancy tests

in the Hollywood Bowl greenroom...

which apparently happens all the time...

and I found out I was pregnant,

and you were the only person I had been with that month

because of the celibacy.

Look, I thought about calling you.

I picked up the phone over and over,

but it just felt... I couldn't, you know?

I just felt like it was my experience.

It was happening to me.

But then I felt it move inside me

like a weird little sci-fi creature, and...

it's a person.

It's a person who will have their own spiritual journey

and their own feelings and favorite album,

no matter how many times I put "Purple Rain" on repeat.

It's a person,

and that person should have the right to know their dad.

Can you hand me my phone? It's just on the counter.

I just can't feel my legs. And I'm late.

I need to call the station, and I just...

I can't feel my legs or my face,

and there's a weird buzzing sound.

- Do you hear that? - No.

- This is a lot. - This is a lot.

Yeah.

I can't believe he chose her as captain.

I can't think of a worse leader.

Stalin? Mussolini? Kim Jong-Il.

Well, you wait. She'll put them to shame.

Come on, man. Bishop's good at her job.

She's a little intense, yes, but she's not a monster.

And she basically stole the job from her best friend.

No, no, she got promoted. That's not stealing the job.

Look, Maya is a team of one.

The only back she has is her own.

You sure this isn't about you and Maya?

This has nothing to do with that.

Stop. Stop.

Are you hurt?

You okay?

This is Station 19 aid car.

We have a child, looks to be about 10 years old,

possibly injured.

Do... Do you need help? Are you okay?

What... I'm not... I'm not gonna hurt you.

I... Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey. I can help, okay?

We can help you. We're not gonna hurt you.

Wait.

Okay! Push, push, push! Dig into it! Yes!

Again!

It's not physical, it's mental.

You're only thinking you can't, okay?

It's all in your head.

One inch. Just one inch. You got this.

I think I pulled my eyelid muscles.

Can you do that?

Bro, I did way more burpees than you.

Come over here and say that to my face.

You're too far away. I can't get up.

This is BS. She's gonna injure us out.

She was an Olympian.

Yeah, but she... she won on a sprained ankle.

She's not human.

Yeah, I've seen it before.

Women always overcompensate to prove something.

Yeah. 'Cause men never overcompensate.

Your stats from your last physical

are written next to each of your names.

We'll be clocking in every week to see where we're at.

Your body is the most important tool you have.

Let's get competitive about it.

Okay.

Yeah, I hate her, but not because she's female.

Herrera?

You look like hell.

Well, feel like hell, too.

Police department finally give you the boot?

What are you doing here, old man?

Well, I'm here to see you.

Michael, I have metastatic testicular cancer,

after I was already diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Huh. What are the odds?

Pretty high, actually, for a firefighter.

Well, I'm sorry to hear it.

Well, you'd be even more sorry to see my medical bills.

Or the hours I spent on the phone

with the insurance companies

trying to get them to cover my last treatment.

I had to sell the house I raised my daughter in.

I lied to her,

told her I was just too comfortable there.

Now I'm gonna die,

and, uh, I have nothing to leave her.

I want workman's comp.

It's... being denied.

Herrera, sincerely, this is below my pay-grade.

Submit a form or something.

I have submitted all the forms!

They're denying coverage

on my rare form of testicular cancer

because it is sometimes associated

with pesticide exposure,

and I happened to grow up near a farm.

Okay, well, I'm not an expert,

which is why I suggest you talk...

Too many cancers aren't being covered for guys my age.

We spend our lives running into burning buildings,
