Station 19

Wait.

I need water... first.

No water.

I promise you, I'll get you water in about 20 minutes.

Okay.

No way, my brownie thing totally beats your broccoli thing.

No. It does.

It's broccoli soufflé.

Okay? It took me three hours. Okay. Excuse me.

Okay, well, then I win on efficiency alone.

I'm sorry. Who makes a broccoli soufflé for a first date?

You know, it's weird. It doesn't feel like a first date.

I don't think I would know.

I think this is the first first date I've ever been on.

Really? Yeah. Usually, I just, like,

collide with people, and then, whoops, we're dating now.

So... hey. Right.

Silver lining to the pandemic.

Yeah. Yeah.

We're being responsible right?

Very responsible.

Responsible and strict.

For the good of all mankind.

I'm sorry. What was that?

I was too busy watching your mouth.

I'm not answering that. You can't hear anything.

Ruiz.

Yeah.

Yeah, copy that.

Apparently, I'm subbing at 19 tomorrow.

Okay.

That's cool. That's, um...

Just... Let's not...

Let's not tell... anyone anything.

Right. Okay. So

like, you don't want to make this a thing?

I-I don't want our

thing to become

everyone's thing.

Yeah, yeah. No, I got it.

As long as this is still our thing.

Yeah.

I should've been your first call.

Well, Yemi's my sister, so I called her first.

She's a contracts lawyer. Still a lawyer.

Still goes by "esquire." Still works at a firm.

A lawyer is not a litigator.

Well, that's why I called you, Dola.

Second. You called me second.

And I'm really hoping that you can get over that, please.

I've gotten over worse things you've done to me.

Okay. That's not fair. We were kids.

Only men are allowed to call themselves "kids" at 21.

Not wrong.

Okay.

If I'm gonna be your litigator,

I need to know what it is you want out of this lawsuit.

You saw the video, right?

Yeah. I saw the video. Everyone's seen the video.

So, you know what I want.

I want those officers punished

for what they did to me and Joyce, and I want justice.

Okay, so you don't know yet.

I just said that I was just...

"Justice" means nothing.

And not just in this current climate

of the court of public opinion.

It never has.

Because justice is subjective.

There's no one way to get justice,

and especially not for what you went through.

So, ask yourself, what is the best possible outcome

of your decision to take on

not only the Seattle Police Department,

but the very institution of policing in this country?

What do you, Dean Miller, firefighter, hope to achieve?

And while you do that, I'll take a refill.

Yes, ma'am.

We're gonna have a full-on feast tomorrow night in your honor.

I want carbs. Starchy ones.

With cheese.

Good idea.

You got it.

They said a family member needs to pick me up,

but my son hasn't answered my calls.

No, no. You're... You're good.

We'll be there, you know, bright and early tomorrow.

I took the whole day off to come pick you up.

So, we're good.

Ooh. Bring chocolate.

Bye, Marsha.

And the water will be turned off when?

Thank you.

Yeah. Yes.

The movers will be there on...

Friday... on... on Friday.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey. Hi.

Hi. Hello.

Maya, this is my friend, Gab...

Yeah, Dr. Gabriella Aurora. Hi.

Yeah.

What? No. That was...

Stressing about your homework?

No, it's... it's Tuck's.

I-I told him I'd prove to him his math homework was easy,

but this isn't math, all right?

This is... I don't know... New Math.

They changed math? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Hey. Theo. Ruiz.

Nice to meet you.

Is it okay if we just call you newbie?

You're still probie, probie.

You're a probie?

Aren't you a Battalion Chief?

You're... I-I'm sorry.

Welcome to Station 19. Thanks for jumping in. Yeah.

Yeah, Ben Warren. Hey. How you doing?

Hi. I'm Vic Hughes.

What was it again?

Sorry. Vic Hughes. Right. Got it.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Right. Yeah.

Hey. You okay?

No.

No, I'm not okay. I'm very far from okay.

I never thought I'd have to see him again.

What, you mean the sub? Wait, you know him?

He's Michael's captain.

Michael's... captain?

I'm so... You're saying that guy is the...

Is the guy who got my husband killed.

Wow. Law review. AG's office.

Yep.

She was first in her and Yemi's class at Yale.

So, she knows her stuff,

and she knows you, so what's the problem?

She's... she's my ex.

W-Well, it's not that that matters.

It's just... she asked me what do I want.

Justice. Right.

Yeah. But she says that's too vague.

Change? Not less vague.

Okay. Um, how about not having to teach my kid

not to ride in the car with more than two Black friends?

Is that less vague?

What does justice look like to you?

Hold on.

Please. 'Cause I

I mean, look, I was good at math,

but the way I was taught, it was a simple method, one way of d...

Done. Check it. Let me check.

Check it. No, no. T-There's no way

you got that answer using their method without cheating.

Do they not do math on the board exam?

You jealous, Doc?

Can you explain this to me, though, one time? Yes, I can.

How does he even have a job?

He shouldn't even be working a garbage truck,

much less a rig. I'm sor... Okay, wait.

I thought your guy was a... was a captain.

This guy, Theo... something, he's just a lieutenant, right?

Yeah, he must have been demoted after Michael.

Good to know that killing someone's husband

gets you a whole slap on the wrist.

Yo! Help us!

I need a little help, please!

Hey, hey! Hey! Hey, hey! Slow down!

Masks! Masks!

What? Call a still alarm. Call a still alarm.

I got it. Do we need a key?

Put your masks on! This is a still alarm.

We have a 25-year-old male with a penetrating head injury.

After you, man. Go ahead. But easy does it.

Right here. Right here.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

Yep, I see it. I see it.

You two, sit down. Sit down.

Okay. Where is your jacket?

Marcus? Hey.

There you go. Buddy.

Hey. We're on our way right now.

Yeah, um... Yeah, Jack, don't come here, okay?

What?

Well, they think Marsha may need to be intubated.

No, she's getting discharged. We're coming to get her.

I guess she... she took a turn overnight.

Her sats are dropping. They're gonna keep watch

and decide tonight whether or not to put her on a vent.

Why didn't anybody call me?

Well, her son is her emergency contact.

I called as soon as I heard. Did he answer?

Yeah, I'm... I'm... I'm not sure.

I'm sorry. Look, I gotta go.

It's getting busy here again,

but I-I just wanted to let you know.

Yeah, thanks. Of course.

We're gonna need you to keep your head

really, really still, okay?

What's your name? His name's Tad.
