but I bet I could shave off about 30 minutes if I do 100.
REMY Take it easy, Vin Diesel.
The last thing you need is a ticket.
Damon, you sure you wanna do this?
You still haven't put my name on that form, have you?
Look, I just don't know if you know
what you're really signing up for.
And you're doing so well in college.
I can't make you come home just to give me sponge baths.
You've been on the transplant list for years now, okay?
You're not missing out on your new heart
just 'cause I got a scholarship in El Paso.
I feel like I'm ruining your life.
Remy.
What did we promise Mom right before she died?
That we'd always take care of each other.
Okay, so put my name on that damn form.
Alright.
Your fate is sealed.
Okay, we need to prep you for surgery right away.
Alright, I gotta go.
They're taking me back.
Okay, Remy. Hey, you got this, man.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Damon, everything okay?
Uh, yeah. Yeah. Everything's fine.
I, uh, I-I'll be there when you wake up, I promise.
- Love you, bro. - I love you too, man.
Damn it!
Argh! Why is this happening? Please, God, don't do this.
Please, just...
just let me get to my brother.

He's in recovery now.
It'll be a little while before he wakes up,

the transplant was a success.

Hey, they don't call it a family challenge for nothin'.
It's challenging.
- Mm-hmm.
- What? - Nah, I...
I just think it's cool that you--
Well, we're doing a family challenge.
- Kind of incredible actually. - Mm-hmm.
Now let me help you up before
someone thinks you're proposing to me.
What if I am?
What if I wanna make this family official?
Tommy Vega, are you serious?
I think so.
Trevor Parks...
what would you say if I asked you to be my husband?
- I'd say yes. - You said yes.
Oh, you said yes. You said yes, yeah... Yes?
- You said yes.
Yes!
I'd say yes, but...
Um, but?
There's just one small thing.
Hey, hey, hey. Good morning, 126.
- Hey. Good morning. -Good morning, Tommy.
Who wants donuts?
- Hey, babe. This is a nice surprise. -Hey.
So what is the occasion, Ranger Reyes?
No occasion. Was just in the neighborhood.
So we got coconut, we got bear claws,
- fritters, a cronut-- -Oh.
Dude, I was gonna take the cronut.
Gotta move quick if you want the prize around here.
Quick? You haven't even begun to see quick, but you will.
So I'll bring two cronuts next time.
Ignore them. They're in a...
dead heat to be my dad's lieutenant.
- Ah. -And now it's spilling over into pastries.
I see.
-Pastry? -Yeah.
Don't mind if I do.
Mm.
- Hold on. -Oh.
Mm-hmm. Mm.
- How's it goin', Carlos? - Hello, Mateo.
- Okay... Oh. -Okay.
Uh, so when is Captain Strand announcing his lieutenant?
Oh, any minute now.
And these two are losing their minds.
- We are not losing our minds! -Nope.
It's more like honing our minds.
Yeah. You have no idea what it's like to attain a lieutenant's mindset.
Funny thing to say to the only one
that's actually ever been lieutenant.
At the 129, remember?
- That's right. - Oh, yeah.
Wait, so why didn't you put your name in for the job?
Because the job makes you crazy.
Ergo, you two.
Cap?
You okay?
Yeah.
Why wouldn't I be?
You seem...
No reason.
-Mm-hmm. -Hey, guys.
- Hey, Wyatt. -Hey, man.
Wyatt. My man.
What brings you down here?
Uh, I'm looking for your dad, actually.
- Is he around? - Yeah, he should be in his office.
Thanks.
Now, what do you think that's about?
Wyatt! What are you doing here?
Hey, Captain Strand. Do you have a moment?
For you, hell, yeah.
Uh, well, not for me, actually.
It's for my dad.
Uh, he told me you paid him a visit the other day
for advice on who your next lieutenant should be.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
Look, I love my dad,
but sometimes he could be this,
this really annoying mix of, like,
too proud and too humble at the same time.
Do you know what I-- Do you know what I-- what I mean?
I'm... not sure I do.
So the thing is, my, my dad,
he didn't... he didn't really tell the truth
about who he thinks you should choose.
Hmm. Did he say who I should choose?
Himself.
He wants it, alright? He wants it back.
I mean, more than anything.
Well, why didn't he say anything?
He didn't wanna put you in a bad position.
Even if that meant putting himself in a worse one.
When I was under his roof, he had a project.
Mm-hmm.
PT and my occupational therapy.
And he was great. Seriously amazing.
But, you know, now I'm, I'm out of the house
and Grace is on the other side of the world,
and he's adrift.
I'll call him.
As his friend or as his captain?
I'm not his captain anymore. He retired.
I know, but he didn't leave because he wanted to.
Right? He left so he could take care of me.
And if anybody should understand that sacrifice, it's you.
Please, please. Seriously, he needs this.
He-he-he has an interview to be a freakin' truck driver today.
- Really? -Really.
And it's a, it's a fine job, you know?
But you and I know
he was, he was put on this earth for one purpose,
and that is to be a firefighter.
Look...
In the 12 months he's been gone,
amazing candidates have emerged,
and they've picked up the weight that your dad had to put down.
None more so than Paul and Marjan.
And you know how talented they are.
You've dealt with them in the call center.
- So... - Yeah.
Would it really be fair for me to suddenly
forget about all of that
just because my old lieutenant, as wonderful as he was,
suddenly wants his job back?
Is. As wonderful and as incredible...
as he is.
I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
How did this happen?
We have this TikTok account,
Girls Who Give a Folk.
We're in a folk band.
Marcie thought we could get new followers
with the "fit it in your mouth" challenge.
Because that always ends well.
How bad is it?
It's pretty bad.
Marcie!
Uh, okay. Uh, TK, take her vitals.
- Copy. - Marcie, I'm Tommy.
And we're gonna take a good look at you, alright?
How, how are you feeling?
She says it hurts like hell.
Well, yeah, I can see why.
- That's in there pretty good.
She doesn't understand how she could get it in, but not out.
Well, that's Urgent Care 101.
It's a lot easier to shove something in
than it is to pull it out.
The tissue in your cheeks is already starting to swell.
- TK, what are the numbers?
Uh, O2 and BP are good,
but her heart rate is pushing 120, Cap.
Alright, that must be because of the stress.
It's okay, we're gonna pack you up
and take you to the hospital.
She wants to know if there's anything you can do here.
We don't have insurance.
We can't afford an ambulance or a hospital stay.
Okay, Nancy, yeah, get me, um, uh, pliers
and a lot of petroleum jelly.
Copy.
Alright, Cap, she's all lubed up.
Alright. I need you to try not to move.
TK, make sure you hold her still.
Yeah, Cap.
Alright, here we go.
Uh, dude, are you live-streaming this?
It just seems a waste not to.
No, you know what? It's alright.
Let this be a lesson to all of your followers,
all-- well, all eight of them.
Yeah.
That this is what TikTok challenges do to people.
They put you in compromising positions...
...and make you act foolish
in front of people that you love,
tell you that they love you back,
but you just take it from me,
TikTok will ruin your...
- ...dang life!
- I'll take it. - Wh-what?
- I'll take it. - Okay, okay. Okay. Okay.
I've made a lot of tough decisions in my time,
but nothing quite like this.
You're a big part of this firehouse.
Your talent, your devotion, your professionalism,
your heart, off the charts.
And you will make a good lieutenant someday.
But I'm sorry, firefighter...
today is not the day.
And you're not saying anything.
Well, I don't know what to say.
Okay, good. Keep going.
No, I mean, I don't know how to respond.
Mateo, I'm about to crush somebody's hopes and dreams.
The least you could do is be a good scene partner.
Well, I need to know if I'm Marjan or Paul.
- Oh. - Because they're both gonna react differently
to having their souls crushed.
Uh, yeah, I-I should have led with that.
- Okay, you're Paul. - Damn.
So he's not gonna get the job?
-Just do the thing. - Poor dude.
-Come on. - Alright.
Well, if I'm Paul,
I'm probably gonna take a beat.
Soak it in, say...
"It's cool, Cap.
- No hard feelings." - That's good.
But then I'll purse my lips
and I'll say, "You know what? That's a lie.
"It's not cool, Cap, and I'm disappointed as hell.
Not just in the decision, but in you."
In me. Ugh, that stings.
Okay. Let's do Marjan.
Wait, why do you need to see what Marjan's reaction would be
if you're passing over Paul?
Oh, my God, are you choosing who to promote
by who's easier to reject?
Oh, when you say it that way,
it sounds so callous and immature.
Well, Cap, the deadline's today. I mean, you have to decide.
Paul and Marjan are fantastic candidates.
I can't just snap my fingers and make a decision.
Well, it worked for Thanos.
He snapped his fingers and killed half the MCU at random
just so the other half could live.
It's cold-blooded. Nothing personal.
It was just about the numbers.
Just about the numbers.
Mateo, that is brilliant.
I know.
Why?
Cap, we're all stocked on trauma dressings.
Super.
Cap, is everything okay?
Everything's fine. Fine. Why?
You know what? Never mind, never mind.
Oh, no. No, go ahead. Come on.
You just seem a little out of sorts today.
Out of sorts.
Out of sorts how?
Well, you did house, like,
- an entire half dozen of donuts this morning. - Yeah.
Then there was the whole TikTok rant, and--
Alright, I admit it.
Yes, I, I may have brought
some of my personal baggage to work today.
I asked Trevor to marry me last night.
What?
And he said no?
Uh...
I never wanted to say anything,
but I always thought that you were way out of his league.
- Way. - Oh...
He said yes.
Oh. Well, then, please disregard.
Thank you. But he said yes on one condition.
- What condition? -Hmm.
We would have to speak to Cassandra first.
Your ex-wife Cassandra?
- She needs to... - Vet you?
Vet me. Uh-huh, yeah.
We need her official approval
before Trevor will agree to marry me.
Why would Trevor wanna give all that power to his ex?
I guess it's, it's part of their, their divorce settlement.
Like, she only agreed to allow him
to move to Texas with Melody,
on the condition that if he ever remarried,
she would get to approve of whoever he brought into her life
or revoke the agreement.
Talk about leverage.
Yeah, she's pulling all the strings.
Look, if Trevor's ex is doing this for the sake of Melody,
then kinda sounds like she's doing it from a good place.
I mean, you love Trevor, right?
I've never felt this way about anyone since Charles.
So... maybe it is worth going through the dog and pony show.
- Yeah. - If it were just me doing it.
But that's not good enough for her, she...
She wants to vet Evie and Izzy, and in person.
And as much as I love Trevor, I'll be damned if...
if I'll subject my girls to an inquisition.
The highest compliment I can give
is that this choice has been excruciating.
And what did you decide?
I've decided not to decide.
That's my decision.
What? Cap.
That's ridiculous. You have to pick someone.
You've both recently taken the single hardest
civil service test in Texas,
the AFD promotional exam.
I've had your scores emailed to me.
We'll let them decide.
Alright. Okay. And the winner wins.
Alright, Marjan, let's open yours first.
Moment of truth.
You scored a 98.78, tying the AFD all-time record.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
Congratulations, Marjan.
Thanks, buddy.
Alright, Paul. Let's open yours.
Uh, must we do that? We-we don't have to do that, Cap.
- It-it's cool. - Ugh!
Uh... What is-- What-- Is it that bad?
- Worse. - Damn it, I knew it.
I always overthink those standardized tests.
Ever since my PSAT.
You scored a 98.78.
Excuse me?
No, that, that's my score.
The all-time record?
You tied.
We tied. No, wait.
- I'm sorry. Well, w-we tied? -Mm.
You tied.

How long you been driving one of these?
Well, I've never.
Not professionally, but my ladder truck
used to be just a little shorter than this.
You're a firefighter?
Uh, I was.
Now that's good stuff. They kick you out or something?
No, no, it's nothing like that.
I had to retire for family reasons,
but, you know, Mr. Bradford, I'm, I'm, I'm a hard worker,
and I got a clean driving record,
and my CDL is up to date, so I'm your man.
Okay, well, let's, let's get you mounted up
and get you out there right now.
When you say, right, like, right now, right now?
Right now, right now. I--
Just a trial run, see how you cross town,
see how you handle the rig in traffic.
-Uh-- - Unless there's a problem.
No, I can, I can-- I can call my in-laws
and have 'em pick up my daughter from daycare.
Good. Do that.
'Cause if things work out well,
I'm gonna have you do a swing up to Tacoma on Thursday.
Tacoma? No, sir.
No, I'm, I'm, I'm signing up for just short haul stuff
like Fort Worth or Seguin, that kinda thing.
Look, my best guy just tore his ACL.
I got 100 sides of beef that need to move outta here pronto.
Pay's double, plus all the ribeyes you can eat.
What do you say?
Uh...
I say I better call my wife.
Smart man.
Gracie, can you hear me?
AUTOMATED RESPONSE The wireless customer
you are trying to reach is unavailable.
Damn it.
Hey, Dad. How'd the interview go?
Well, it's still going.
The owner said that I did the parking test so well,
he wants to go straight on to the road trial.
Whoa! That's amazing. You feeling good about it?
The problem is, now he's saying that he wants me
to do long hauls to the coasts starting this week.
Oh.
I mean, hey, you said
you needed to get out of the house, right?
Yeah, before I start climbing the walls.
But, uh, how am I gonna take care of Charlie
if I'm up at Tacoma?
She's got three grandparents in town.
Plus, you know, Leigh Ann and I can always chip in.
No, I couldn't ask y'all to do that, Wyatt.
You got your own family to worry about.
So, I reckon, uh, I know exactly what I gotta do now.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
I need to march
back into that firehouse, hat in hand
and beg Owen for my job back.
Yeah, I wouldn't, I wouldn't recommend that.
I thought just the other night you said
that I need to go in there and, you know,
sacrifice my pride and ask him directly.
I did.
I did, but, um...
Yeah, it's not gonna do you any good.
And how do you know that?
Because I already tried it.
You what?
I went into his office this morning.
I'm, I'm sorry I didn't tell you,
but I, I had to fight for you.
I couldn't convince him, Dad.
I failed you, I failed you, and I'm so sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, listen, listen.
It's okay.
You've never failed me, okay?
Yeah.
So here's what's gonna happen next.
I'm, I'm gonna-- I'm gonna take this test,
and I'm gonna rock it, and then we'll get together.
We'll work out all the other details together...
as a family. Is that-- Is that a deal?
- Deal. -Alright.
I love you.
Hey, hey. Today's the big day.
You all ready for your recital?
JULIETTE I don't know, Daddy.
What you mean you don't know?
What if I'm bad?
Oh, that's just the stage fright talking.
Your solo's gonna go great.
Hey, why don't you sing it for me?
I don't want to.
Why not? I'd love to hear it.
If you love it so much
how come you're not even coming?
Juliette, honey, we talked about this.
Daddy's doing flowers for a big wedding.
I have to be there before everyone
if I'm gonna make it pretty for their special day.
It's not just today. You never come to anything.
You always miss my recitals.
I'll tell you what, if you sing your solo for me,
today is the last day I'll ever miss
one of your recitals again.
-You promise? -I promise.
Okay.
♪ Where seldom is heard a discouraging word ♪
♪ And the skies aren't cloudy all day ♪
That was beautiful.
You really think so?
-I really do. -Hey!
-Huh, that's funny. -Hey! Hey!
Some man was waving at me
from the top of a freight train.
-That is funny.
Okay, Juliette.
Mwah! Have a great show.
Remember, you promised, Dad.
Today is the last one you miss.
- I won't forget.
- I love you. -I love you, Daddy.
- Bye.
Today is the last one.
Oh, God.
It's a nightmare!
Alright, we need a full evac of this campus.
Back up, back up, everybody, back up.
Everybody, back up. Move back!
Marjan, set up the stream-master on the aerial.
Get on the foams and knock down these fires.
On it, Cap.
Wait, Cap, what about that fire?
It must be the engine.
Alright, head up and see if we got any survivors.
126 first on the scene, we have multiple debris fields.
One on the track, a second one down below the south ridge.
I need any information you can give me on this train.
Yeah, according to the rail traffic controller,
the train is a 52-car freighter out of Flagstaff
carrying mixed cargo.
Apparently, it took a switch
at twice the recommended speed and jumped the track.
What kinda mixed cargo?
I need to know what I'm up against.
Sorry, we're, we're still trying
to get our hands on the manifest.
The company said they lost all contact
with the engineer two minutes before the crash.
Other than the single engineer, any other crew members?
He is the crew.
Company uses one-man teams to cut costs.
That'll help the bottom line.
But I did get a 9-1-1 call from a motorist
trapped somewhere in the derailment.
But, um, yeah, I lost contact with him.
- We'll find him.
Alright, I need every hazmat suit
and USAR rig in the county at the base of this hill.
Advise all rigs to get the ladder pipes on this fire ASAP.
Copy that.
129 should be landing any minute.
Gall and Ricardo, set up an incident line.
I don't want any civilians within a quarter mile.
And for God's sakes, someone kill that bell!
Cap said the engineer's probably still trapped inside.
Mateo, you got that side? I'll take this side.
Yes, sir.
Austin Fire! Is anybody in there?!
Austin Fire!
Hey, Marjan, we're gonna need that foam up here
at the locomotive now.
MARJAN Working on it.
Hey, can you hear me?!
Engineer's in there!
What? Ah!
- Argh! I'm out. -Me too.
- Hey, somebody order some foam? - Oh, yeah!
There we go. Good looking out, Marj.
I got you.
Hey, you guys hit the delta side.
Hit the cars on the delta side, alright?
Halligan! Halligan!
- Mateo. Hey.
Sir, can you hear me?
- Ah! Yeah. -Shoulders.
Let's get some hands in here. We got the engineer.
Watch out. Alright.
Medics!
-You have him? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got him.
Alright, one, two, three.
-Okay. - We haven't had a chance to check him out,
but he's not responsive.
Alright, TK, take his ABCs.
Nancy, hook him up to the LIFEPAK.
Cap, his lips are blue, cyanotic,
but I don't see any signs
of smoke inhalation around his mouth.
That's strange.
He doesn't seem to have any obvious traumatic injuries.
You think something was wrong, like, before he crashed?
Heart rate's 170.
He's in V-fib. We're gonna lose him, Cap.
Alright, Nancy, paddles.
Alright, everybody clear.
Nothing.
Going again. Clear.
- Oh!
What the hell was that?
I think it was a piece of hoagie.
All this caused by a sandwich?
- Cap, he's breathing.
Color's coming back, too.
So is his pulse.
What happened?
Sir, you've been in an accident.
- Oh, God. -Whoa, easy.
- Alright. - Oh, God, I did this?
Okay. Alright, I need you to be still.
Hey, sir. Sir? Sir?
Hey. We need the train manifest.
We need to know exactly what was in those containers.
Uh, yeah, I've got it on my phone.
I can AirDrop you the file.
Hey, Cap, the engineer is safe and stable,
and he's giving us the train manifest right now.
Good. I need you guys back down here.
Copy that, Cap.
Hey, Cap.
What's going on?
You hear that?
It's a car horn.
From where?
I think it's a, it's a side-view mirror.
OWEN Uh, dispatch.
Yeah. Copy 126.
Yeah. We found your missing motorist.
According to the manifest,
most of the cars are carrying inert materials,
soybeans, rebar, things of that nature.
We do have some cars carrying high hazards,
pesticides, chlorine gas, even toxic waste.
So, Captain Garcia, we're gonna need hazmat standing by.
We'll be in your pocket all day.
My main concern right now,
keeping the fire away from this car.
Carries 28,000 gallons of propane.
- That thing heats up... - Boom.
I'm gonna need the 129 to back up my team.
They're at the flames fighting this right now.
- Alright. - Alright.
129, you heard the IC. Let's get to work.
Alright, Cap, got the airbags in place
to stabilize the container.
- Camera's going up. - Alright, let's do it.
Alright.
Okay. Can you guys see anything?
Alright, you're in the back seat.
Give it some more slack.
MATEO Got it.
That's him.
Sir, this is Captain Owen Strand,
Austin Fire Department.
If you hear me, can you give me some sort of signal?
Help me.
Alright, we got to go in and get him by hand.
I'm gonna do it. Get my kit ready.
Cap, you can't go in there. It's too unstable.
Yeah, I know, that's why
I'm the only one I'm comfortable sending in.
Yeah, Cap, but that somebody has to fit through
less than three feet of crawl space
and that somebody's not you, Cap.
You're too tall.
It has to be me.
Alright, roger that.
Good luck.
Chaos reigns today
where a freight train has just derailed
- torching a hillside in flame. -Hey, hey, hey!
- First-- -What do you think you're doing?
- Excuse me. We're live on air. -An active fire scene.
The perimeter's a half mile back.
You heard it, folks.
We need to sign off,
but more updates at 6:00.
Let's go, let's go. I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to keep everybody safe.
- Oh, of course. - Come on.
- We understand. - Come on, come on.
We all have our jobs to do.
Kenny, what are you doing?
Packing up. You heard what he said.
Did you hear what I said? We have a job to do,
and right now, it is our job to get an exclusive
of the biggest disaster of the year.
Now, come on, hurry up and get out of his eyeline.
Captain Strand sent us. Where do you want us?
Hey!
We're trying to cool the tanker off,
but the flames keep pinching in from both sides.
Sorry, I didn't catch your name, Captain.
Harthan.
You must be Lieutenant Marwani.
Not yet.
Oh, this thing is going.
Not yet, it's not. It's actually a safety feature.
-That's a safety feature? -It's a relief valve.
The taller those flames get...
- The less time we have. - Yep!
Alright, Cap, the one-and-a-half's aren't gonna cut it.
- We need more pressure. - You're right.
Okay, 129, there should be hydrants every 600 feet
down that fire road!
I want four-and-a-halfs on all of them!
Entryway is clear, Cap.
Alright.
You hear anything weird,
get a bad vibe, you get the hell out.
That's an order. You understand?
I'll wriggle as fast as I can, Cap.
Copy.
Hey, the meds are in this compartment.
Any tools you might need are in this front pouch.
- Alright? -Got it.
- Thanks, homey. - And, Teo...
Alright.
Okay.
OWEN Hey, Paul, get the jaws ready
in case that thing collapses on him.
Already got 'em. Standing by.
Alright, here we go.
- Hey. -Hey.
- I'm Mateo. - I'm Franklin.
Well, look, I'm gonna get you outta here, okay?
-Mm-hmm. - I'm gonna try to slide in here
and I gotta check you out for my paramedic friends.
Alright. Alright.
Ooh.
Come on.
Okay. Well...
His airways look clear.
Breathing is shallow.
I'ma check your pulse, alright, buddy?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, pulse is about 130.
Alright, that's elevated, but to be expected.
Ask him what hurts.
- Alright, what hurts most?
My chest.
Oh, this thing's on top of it, huh? Okay.
Show us his legs.
I'm trying to give you guys a good view here.
- How's that?
They're pinned under the steering column.
Ask him to move his extremities.
Okay. Can you try and move your feet for me?
Okay, okay. No, it's fine, it's fine.
Okay, yeah, he can.
- He's just trapped in. - Okay.
Cut the steering column, but take your time.
- Alright, I'm gonna slide my way to the passenger side. - Okay.
Now let's see if we could do anything about this beam.
- Whoo.
Okay. I'm gonna try to slide this thing off you.
- Alright. One, two, three.
- How's that feel? - That's better.
Alright. Oh.
You a unicorn fan, huh?
My daughter is.
Juliette.
- She's six. - Well, look...
this is gonna get uncomfortable, okay?
- Okay. - The more this guy dances,
the more you think of your little girl.
-Okay. -I'm gonna place this over here
while I, uh, saw off that steering wheel.
I'll place this right here so they can see.
Okay, here I go.
- Almost done, baby.
Keep looking at that unicorn.
Think of your daughter.
- Ah!
- Alright, I got it!
- I got it, I got it.
We got it, baby.
Okay, his legs are free.
You did great, Franklin.
- Thank you. You...
You know how to make a...
Franklin.
Franklin!
Hey, Franklin!
Hey, hey! Something happened.
Mateo, what's going on?
I don't know, we were just laughing,
and-and he was smiling, and then he just passed out.
Alright, try taking his pulse again.
Wait. I can barely feel it. What happened?
Cap, it's his chest. He said his chest hurts.
Mateo, look at his chest now.
Okay, it's bruised and it's swollen.
Alright, put your ear to his heart.
Tell me what it sounds like.
It sounds like it's underwater.
Do me a favor. Look at his jugular.
It's distended.
Mateo, I think he has a cardiac tamponade.
A, a what?
The sac around his heart is filling with fluid.
It's keeping his heart from beating.
It must have started swelling when you relieved the pressure.
Okay, so what's next?
You're gonna have to drain it.
Drain what? Drain his heart?
No, not his heart.
The pericardial sac around his heart.
Wait, I'm not a surgeon!
No, but you're the second-best thing.
The person next to him.
So, put on some gloves,
swab his chest with the ChloraPrep
that Nancy put in your kit.
Okay.
Alright, get the 18-gauge needle.
It's the big one. Attach it to a syringe.
Okay, now what?
Now you're gonna find the space
between the fourth and the fifth rib
on the left of the sternum.
You're gonna insert the needle there at a 45-degree angle.
But, uh, this is the tricky part.
If you don't go in far enough, you won't pierce the sac.
If you go in too far, you'll pierce his heart.
- And then I kill him? -It's okay.
We're gonna do this together, alright?
Slow and steady. We'll go in half an inch first.
Okay, half an inch.
Gently pull the plunger.
Did anything come out?
No, I don't see anything.
That's fine. We'll go in another quarter inch.
I-I hit something!
Okay, good. Stop there.
That's the pericardial sac.
Pull the plunger again.
Okay, I'm seeing some pink stuff. Is--
Is that good?
Yeah. That's good.
Keep going.
- Hey. Hey, Franklin. -What?
- Hey. Dude! - What happened?
I just drained your heart, bro!
- You did? - Yeah! Okay. He's back.
He's back. Cap.
Okay.
-Give me your hand. -Can you do it?
- Watch his head. -No, I got his head.
- There you go. -Push up.
- There we go. -Alright.
And, one, two, three.
- Alright, strap him in.
I'm gonna C-collar him.
Alright, we got you. Easy. Alright.
He's stable, firefighters.
Ready? One, two, three.
Come on, let's go.
- Good job, baby.
-There he is. - Good job, doctor.
Thanks.
Dispatch, your MVC patient is safe and secure
and has been handed off to the 122.
The 126 will stay on site. - Yep. Copy you, 126.
I'll let West Park know that they're on the way.
Wait.
Wait! Wait!
Wait, wait, wait! Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Juliette's gonna want her unicorn back.
Thank you.
Thank you for giving her dad back.
Load up.
Can you say Peabody Award? Tell me you're getting this.
I'm gettin' it.
Alright. Try to knock the embers out!
Don't let them settle on the tanker!
- Oh! That cannot be good!
No, that's not good.
Captain Harthan, where are my attack lines?
The tanker's too hot.
I got you, I told you, I got you!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go! -Let's go, let's go!
Let's go! Charge up the lines!
We need to cool this tanker right now!
Yeah! That's it, that's it. It's working.
Alright, IC. It's Marwani.
Tanker's finally starting to cool off.
OWEN Great news, Marwani. Well done.
Yeah, it was a team effort.
I told you, we got you.
Yeah, a case of heartburn.
Ha. Whoo!
Keep it going.
What the hell? What the hell happened?
- Hey! - Hey, 129. Where's our H2O?!
What's going on?! Where's the water?!
- Hey, go check the line. -No! No, no, no.
Hey!
Supply lines are bursting everywhere.
HARTHAN Damn it! My guy said there's too much pressure.
The tanker's heating up!
Does anybody have water?!
The lines are dead!
Save that water supply now!
Let's go. Let's move.
Skin's cracking, color change on the vapor.
No, no, no, it's too late.
Everybody get back!
Mayday! Mayday! Go!
- Mayday! Mayday! -Mayday!
Fall back. All companies, all companies, fall back.
Mayday! Dispatch, Firefighter Marwani.
Tell all personnel to evacuate the area!
Copy your mayday, firefighter. What's going on out there?
Propane tanker's about to blow!
- Hey! Get back! - Marj!
Marj!
