9-1-1

You're gonna be just fine.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

You're gonna be fine.

April, I've got two words for you:

sleeved blankets.

Why would I want that?

Okay. So you're on the sofa watching TV.

And you get a little chilly.

So your wrap yourself up in a blanket.

But now you get thirsty.

You want to grab your glass,

but your arms are under the blanket.

What do you do?

- Take off the blanket. - What if you didn't have to?

What if the blanket had sleeves?

Now you can grab your glass, you can use the remote,

talk on the phone,

all while you're still snuggled up

in your warm and cozy blanket.

A backwards sweater?

- Eh... - Mr. Han,

last month, you came in talking about

fitness centers for children.

The month before that, it was...

- what was it? - Pampered pet parties.

It's like an Avon lady,

- but with squeaky toys and rawhide. - Please stop.

I think you need to ask yourself

what it is you want to do with your life.

I'm an aspiring entrepreneur.

Soon to be a financial mogul.

- Made-up terms. - Eh.

Not a calling.

Well, this doesn't really feel like banking, April.

This kind of feels like it's therapy.

It's banking.

I'll see you next month?

Come on! Come on!

I can't hear you! Let me hear you!

Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

I will be here all week. Literally, here all week.

So if you want to sing a song, please come find me

and give me your song selection.

But please remember, management has banned

the singing of "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Hi. "I Love Rock N' Roll." Please?

Joan Jett. Song 341. Nice choice.

Britney Spears.

Correction. Song 891.

You're Tina, right?

I've seen you here before.

My buddy manages the place.

I just help him out from time to time.

I'm actually an entrepreneur.

- What kind? - Uh... venture capital.

I provide start-ups with enough money to get off the ground

in exchange for a piece of their company.

Oh, wow. So you're an angel investor?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Sounds like you know a bit about business yourself.

I do. I'm actually studying business right now.

- Right on. -

Hey. Uh, shots are up at the bar.

She's all set.

- What are you, flirting with the busboy? -

I was being nice. It must suck to be him.

She asked me if I had a calling.

You need a calling for a small business loan?

That's what I said.

Well, so maybe sleeved blankets wasn't the thing.

I'm sure the next idea will wow them.

I think I'm out of ideas.

That bank lady's right. I got to find my calling, man.

I mean, seriously, shouldn't I have, like, by now,

had some kind of moment where I felt like, "Yeah, this is it"?

This is the thing I'm supposed to do.

I don't think that feeling exists.

Most people just want a job they can stomach,

that pays well enough, you know?

Decent hours...

I've been hustling since I was 16.

You know how many jobs I've had.

Probably over a hundred. Nothing's stuck yet.

Well, your first job stuck.

Babysitting me when you moved in with my family.

And you're still doing it. Bossing me around, anyway.

Yeah, that's because if there's one person I know

with less direction than me, Kevin,

- it's you. - Yeah, you really been a terrible influence.

What's Marco doing?

["BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE" BY TALKING HEADS PLAYING]

9-1-1 S02E12 "Chimney Begins"

Fire captain said it was a miracle

that everyone got out alive.

Said there was a ton of code violations.

Like, that dance club in El Monte a few years back?

Similar situation.

12 people died, mostly from smoke and panic.

Well, thank God that didn't happen here.

Except it did. That one woman went up like a Roman candle.

Howie tackles her to the ground like a linebacker.

I'm small, but I'm fast, evidently.

- - Everyone is just freaking out.

Everyone except Howie.

He's totally cool. I mean, he actually takes charge.

I've never seen him like this before.

Get out the door and keep moving, out this way.

He starts guiding people out, keeping everybody calm,

and he's got 911 on the line. It was incredible.

Through the door!

Howard? You're a hero.

I don't know about that, Mrs. Lee.

I just did what I felt I needed to do.

That's the very definition of a hero.

So I can expect rent to be late this month?

- John. - What?

I'm glad it burnt down.

And that nobody got killed.

It's time you two got out of that karaoke dump.

Now you can both go out and look for real jobs.

Well, actually, Mr. Lee, uh,

I think that "real job" just found me.

I applied today to join the L.A. Fire Department

to be a firefighter.

Civil service.

And I feel like this is something

that I've been called on to do.

- Does that sound corny? It's a noble pursuit.

- A man's decision. - Thank you, Mr. Lee.

You should call your father.

Uh, well, you know,

the time difference with Seoul is tricky, so, uh...

I should wait to see if I make it through training

and if I'm actually accepted first.

Howard, um, are you sure?

It's dangerous.

Oh, Anne, you worry too much.

Actually, the recruiter said

that the fatality rate's less than 0.3%.

So, statistically, we'd have to be on the job for over 300 years

before we're likely to die in the line of duty.

We?

Yeah. I applied, too.

Are you out of your mind?

You see this?

This is a Los Angeles firefighter patch.

You're all here because you want to wear one.

Membership into the world's elite lifesaving service

must be earned.

Physically and mentally, you'll be tested

as though your life depended on it.

Because that's the business we are in. Life and death.

Folks, this is not just another job.

This is not a hobby.

If you feel the slightest glimmer of doubt

about your ability to make that kind of commitment,

then I suggest you head back out that door.

Okay. This morning's training evolution.

A fire's broken out on the third floor of a five-story walk-up.

Ascend to the roof and descend to the third floor.

Three points of contact at all times!

Two hands, one foot!

One hand, two feet!

That's it, steady pace. Stay focused!

Jensen, take the door!

Come on, Lee, people are dying up there!

The perimeter is your friend.

It will support you and carry your weight.

Everything else can and will collapse under your feet.

The most important rule of rooftop

is never cross-country on impulse.

Remember science class?

- Heat rises. - Move, let's go!

Here we go.

Come on!

That's it.

Stay focused!

Keep the pace! Keep the pace!
