Station 19

- Who else has seen these? - Nobody.

Uh...

- Well, Carina... - I need every name. Who else?

That's it. Just us, and Carina.

She brought them to me and we agreed to bring them to you

so... so you could get ahead of it.

- Get ahead of it... - Yeah, keep them from coming out.

Deny it's you, deny it's him,

say they're from when you knew each other years ago.

We can think of something, but we have to fix this.

This isn't your problem, Herrera.

We... The department can't afford to lose you, Chief.

I've been around FD my entire life

and I never thought I'd see a woman in charge,

much less a woman of color who kicks ass.

I can't afford to lose you.

This is the smoking gun you've been waiting for.

Why aren't you using it?

- What other angle are you playing? - No angle.

The last time I tried playing an angle, it nearly destroyed my life.

I understand why it'd be hard to trust me...

Look, she came to me because she was trying to do the right thing.

Well, I thank you both.

You should be getting to shift.

I'm actually taking a personal day today.

Noted. I'll will take this from here.

And Lieutenants?

I would rather be the one to tell him.

Herrera.

Yes, Chief.

I know you want to tear him a new one for lying to you.

I do. But I gave her my word.

S.O.S. received.

Oh, hero. Did you buy out the whole store?

Well, eggs are not cheap and they were on sale, so...

Have you... talked to Eli?

No. Uh, but he's working for Robel now

and I promised to volunteer on the campaign,

so he's going to have to talk to me eventually.

- Have you? - No.

- Do you want to talk to Eli? - No, no, no. I was just curious.

- Okay. - I mean, do you want to talk to Eli...

- Oh, I... - Like outside of campaign stuff?

Because if you did, that would be totally fine.

No. No. No.

But you could, too, if you wanted to.

- Or whatever. - We're doing the right thing, right?

Like, prioritizing us.

Yeah. Yeah. Hoes over bros.

Not that we're hoes! That's... That's just what people say.

- No, it's not what people say. - No, I think they do. You know...

Gibson, how's your head?

Doctor cleared me, so I'm all good.

I love your French toast.

I bet you say that to all the boys.

I could eat breakfast for every meal.

I mean, pancakes. Eggs. It's like variety. Options.

Choice.

Yeah, when I was captain at 54,

Thursdays were always pancake night. No exception, we should do that.

Well, as acting captain, you could implement a routine like that,

while Beckett's gone.

- Engine 19, Ladder 19... - Turn it off.

Aid Car 19, requested to 2618 Prescott Street.

You just had to say “Beckett,” didn't you?

- Natasha Ross. - What is this?

Wow, I didn't think Bishop would go soft on me.

You had me followed, like some kind of pervert?

This is a violation of privacy.

Ooh, the horror! Come on.

All's fair in love and politics,

and you made it political when you turned the city and FD against me.

- What do you want? - Honestly?

Humiliating you would have been enough,

but now that Montgomery is out of the race for mayor...

- You want my endorsement. - And those photos get buried.

And if I'd rather endorse Osman?

I don't think the firefighters' union would approve of the chief

promoting the grunt she's sleeping with, do you?

Once they see those pictures, they'll turn against you.

And no chief in the history of the department

has ever survived losing the support of the union.

If I back you, and you win,

how can I be sure you won't fire me as soon as you take office?

Only the mayor has that power.

Well, you just have to take my word for it.

Tell you what, think about it.

You got till the end of the day, then I've got a date with the union.

You can hold onto those. I've got copies.

I heard you're looking to move because of the doxxing.

Temporarily, yeah.

Man, I didn't know it got that bad.

Yeah, we never should have pulled the stunt at that fake abortion clinic.

No, they were... they were tricking women and spreading lies.

You know,

my dad cried the night before my first day at the academy.

That first year he would call me after every shift,

he would even show up randomly and check my equipment.

I mean, to the point where I had to yell at him several times to stop

until he finally did.

Look, if you're working your way up to telling me that

I shouldn't worry about Pru...

Oh, no, that's impossible. You're gonna worry about her.

And the boys and Dr. Bailey.

What I'm saying is, in the end,

it was my dad, not me, that took a risk that cost him his life.

- Yeah, to save you. - Yeah, doesn't make it hurt any less.

You can't avoid the crazies,

and Bailey is... Bailey's gonna Bailey.

But you... you can keep yourself safe

so... so you can be there for them.

Okay, everyone, SCBAs on.

We've got a working fire in a two-story residential.

Hughes, you're medical.

Herrera, Warren, Montgomery, ventilate that roof.

Larsson, Wiggins, evacuate the structure.

Sullivan, Gibson, fire attack on A side. Let's move!

Is everybody out?

Oh, no, no, no. Here, here, here.

- Help! There's more boys inside! - Come on. It's okay. You guys, come on.

- Wait, how many? How many? - I don't know,

- I think ten or so? - Watch your step.

Nineteen of us live here, if you count me.

- You gotta get them out! - What?

Oh, crap. Okay.

What're you waiting for? Get in there and just save my guys!

Okay, I need to get you away from the house. What's your name?

- Hey, what's your name? - June Hardy. I'm the house manager.

This is a sober living house.

All the boys here are clean and sober. Me, too. Thirty years.

Okay, Well, I'm Vic, uh, and we need to get you over there to treat you, okay?

- No, no, first... Okay. - I'm fine! How can I help?

We're gonna get you over to Captain Ruiz

and you can tell him exactly how many guys are unaccounted for, all right?

Looks like a bad renovation.

First floor is fully involved.

And the house is like a maze, there's rooms divided into rooms.

Copy, sending another line.

I've seen houses like this before,

this fire is going to run right through these cheap walls.

You've reached Robert Sullivan, please leave...

Dispatch, this is Chief Ross. Can you give me a 20 on Company 19?

Full Company 19 is at 2618 Prescott Street.

Copy.

Hi. Okay, I have the whole day planned.

First, rage room! You know, like we talked about?

Followed by a nice picnic in Discovery Park.

And for tonight, a reservation at The Pink Door.

- What? It's your favorite... - Um...

I love how excited you are

and how much thought you've put into our second first date...

Uh, but?

I-I thought it was gonna be a slow night,

but babies wait for nobody and now I'm exhausted.

Okay, you know, I want this day to be whatever you want it to be,

so I can just drop you off at your hotel and you could get some sleep if you want.

No... No, no, no. No, no. I just...

You know, I want to put my feet up and... and have a drink.

What about Joe's bar?

Joe's?

Huh.

All right, we're ready to inflate.

Path is solid.

All right. We'll follow your lead.

Gibson said this place is a maze.

We need to cut vent holes on both sides of the ridge.

Copy.

Hey! Roof over here is...

Warren!

Warren!

Warren!

Herrera, what the hell just happened?

Emergency traffic,

emergency traffic!

Oh, come on!

Herrera!

Herrera!

Warren!

Still nothing.

- Careful, Herrera... - I'm fine!

- We don't need to lose you, too. - No one has been lost, Montgomery!

Larsson, Wiggins, you're Rapid Intervention. Go find Warren!

Hey... Hey, listen, I need to speak to you.

Herrera, Montgomery, I need you to get off that roof

the minute you finish ventilating. Copy?

- Sir... - One second, ma'am.

Yes, the roof...

- Warren? - Herrera, we're gonna get him out, okay?

- Copy, Captain. - Hey!

Hey! You're gonna listen to me and you're gonna listen to me right now!

I'm sorry. You said 19 people live here?

- This is a four-bedroom house. - Well, that is not my fault.

We had to divide each bedroom into three smaller ones.

Some of the boys double up, but they share.

Well, that's not up to code.

Like I said, I didn't do it.

I just work here. I'm maid, cook,

mother, counselor, good cop, bad cop.

Well, your improvised rooms have created a firetrap.

I'm giving addicts a roof over their heads
