Station 19

I mean, I guess it's a good thing.

Protests are getting so big, they're starting

to shut down the whole city.

If this ice cream melted, I am for sure gonna drink

this pint like it's a milkshake.

What time are we doing street medic stuff tomorrow?

Not sure.

P.S., I cannot believe someone picked you up

with some drivel about liking a man in uniform.

No one picked me up.

Because it's not 1989,

and nobody picks up anyone anymore.

And also, because that would mean

I would have to call...

My God.

Sebastian back

and allow him to take me out on a date.

Well, you kept it.

Rest in peace, Chief.

You good?

Yeah, I'm great.

You're a liar.

You "look good in that uniform."

I still got it. Yeah, you do.

Warren, your kids aren't there, are they?

Should be on their way home.

Yeah, we have a strict "home before dark"

"if you're protesting" rule, and Auntie Roz don't play.

Yeah, they must pretty shook up after you and Miller,

you know, went for your long night swim

and then your surgery.

Yeah, well, I got waited on like a king

for about 48 hours.

Yeah, yeah, kids forget things remarkably quickly.

Further emboldening the millions demanding justice

has been the recent media attention

of the death of Breonna Taylor,

a 26-year-old paramedic who was killed in her home.

From Seattle City Hall, Deputy Chief Michael Dixon.

I know everyone is hurting,

I know everyone wants their voices to be heard,

and I know taking to the streets seems like

the easiest way to voice your frustrations and concerns,

but I'm calling for peace, Seattle.

What we all need to do for the city we love

is to come together as one for change.

He expects people to believe his crap.

It's actually kind of scary how he's convinced himself

he's one of the good guys.

Did you know one of the first forms of policing

in this country grew from local slave patrols?

Yeah, like, angry white guys using violence and intimidation

to prevent enslaved people from escaping.

Yeah. I-I actually did know that.

Yeah, but it is good that you know that now, too.

Um, you know, Gibson,

why don't you help me with these?

Yeah.

This one's ready, too.

And that still needs to.

Hey, did you hear from your surgeon

about your results yet?

Yeah, Miranda just did.

All clear.

They called Miranda first?

Of course they called Miranda first.

So, all clear?

All clear.

That's amazing, Warren.

You know, I would have been personally offended

if you survived literally being lost at sea

just for this to take you out.

Yeah. How you doing?

You know, like we all are.

Yeah.

I'm gonna make this call.

Looting and rioting...

You know, I've been out there these past couple days,

and the protests are usually peaceful,

till the police arrive, and then they escalate.

Emmett says the medical tents start filling up

later in the day.

Yeah, I've seen people get tear-gassed,

get scraped up from falls,

and even some rubber bullet wounds.

Runs the gamut.

Yeah, that tracks.

I mean, given the history of the PD.

I mean, it's like if the police department

put salt and pepper on a steak

and said it became... not steak.

Yeah, that's that's true.

Did you know the 13th Amendment abolished slavery

except as punishment for a crime?

Like, Black people would get arrested, right,

on, like, trumped up charges so they could get convicted

and then used for free labor.

Also, yes. Nice.

Something feels a little different, though,

don't you think?

People are finally starting to talk about it.

I just hope it's not temporary,

that it's not, you know, people just studying

for, like, a test, that they're actually, like,

internalizing these concepts

and t-they're really trying to push

Ben, can you turn the volume down, please?

Thank you.

Nice shirts.

Yep. Got one for you, too, Captain.

Thanks.

But we will have to wear them

underneath our SFD shirts tomorrow.

We are running this medic tent in an official capacity.

Providing medical care isn't sanctioned by SFD?

We just have to figure out how to navigate this with the PD.

I've been listening to the scanner.

Things are escalating.

But that doesn't mean that we should back down.

I do think we should make our position known.

I'm just trying to figure out how to do that

in a way that they will hear it.

Hey, can I ask you a question?

Yeah. Are we just not gonna talk about the fact

that you're engaged?

- Yep! - Whoo!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Thanks. Thanks.

Nothing like getting engaged and then sending your fiancée

into the COVID hot spot two days later.

Wait, she still has to go?

Yeah, but only for, a month now,

just until the marriage visa comes through.

Congrats, Cap.

Sorry we missed it.Thanks. Thank you.

Hey, firehouse wedding, right?

Please say Please. Come on.

Please say we're doing a lesbian firehouse wedding?

We can't not. I could barely get Carina to agree to marriage.

I doubt there will be a wedding,

but there will definitely be a registry.

Of course there will be.

Hey, Captain. Hey.

Just checking in. How you holding up?

If by "holding up," you mean stuffing my face

with cookies every chance I get

to avoid thinking about the fact that Carina

is heading into the belly of the COVID beast

and that the immigration system

is as broken as the justice system,

then I am holding up incredibly well.

What kind of cookies?

Get outta here.

Ben, stop lifting things.

Come on. These weigh basically nothing.

You can start lifting things

whenever Cap takes you off of desk duty.

This is ridiculous.

No, it's not.

Do you think they're all gonna be mad

because we got mussels instead of stuff for lasagne?

How could you be mad about moules-frites?

International trav.

Yeah.

How long you think we soak these for?

Wait, what?

I thought You said that you've made these before.

No, I said I always wanted to make these before.

No, that's not Yeah, I did.

Vic! These aren't chicken nuggets!

Okay, come on.

How hard can it be?

What's going on with you?

Nothing. I'm learning how to make new things.

I'm mussel-making in this case, right?

You practically ran out of the lounge

when you saw them making the protest packs.

You turned the radio off

when they started talking about the marches.

And now you've decided to learn French cuisine.

Okay, Belgian, but I guess.

What's up?

Nothing. I've spent all weekend thinking about what's up.

I just want two seconds to not think about that.

I just want to think about

shellfish.

This is our thing, right? This is what we do.

We take turns forcing the other person to talk.

So, rip the scab. Just do it.

Remember when we used to go out at night,

like back when the world was open,

and before you'd head out,

you'd say to your friends, "Text me when you get home"?

You know, just so you'd know all your people were good

and, you know, you'd know they made it home

safe and sound, right?

That's like sacred friend stuff.

That's like humans evolving beyond beast stuff.

That is consideration and buddy love

even when you're too drunk to walk straight.
