[Victoria] Travis, if you ask me one more time if I'm okay, I won't be.
You took over a press conference in front of the mayor.
- I just-- - I don't wanna talk about it, Travis.
Why is that so hard for you to understand?
No word. [sighs]
Chief and I are doing everything we can to make sure you keep your job,
but it's up to the mayor.
[car honking]
Victoria Hughes is an essential member of FD.
Crisis One is personal to her.
So personal that she felt the need to publicly humiliate me.
So personal she's willing to fight for it.
The individuals holding the purse strings of the city were watching.
Don't you think I could have parlayed 19's win into an argument
- for supporting their programs? - Would you have?
Really? Parlayed it into an argument for support?
This is about disciplinary action for Hughes.
- Not Crisis One or any other-- - On the contrary, Mayor Osman.
This is about our community.
The individual people in this community that we help every day.
That is what I'm trying to make you understand.
[person] Can somebody help us?
He tripped and landed on some glass.
It's not a fire.
The kid says you do things like this nowadays.
Yeah, the fire department's always done things like this.
[groans] Not in my day.
[person] Still is your day.
I know you're old, but you're sitting right here.
I'm 74.
I don't feel a day under 200.
Well, you look great.
That's what a diet like mine will get you.
- [Robert] Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
- And what's that? - Not enough of anything.
You wouldn't think that a model and a homeless guy would have the same diet.
- [Robert laughs] - Surprise.
See, that's why I said we should come here.
I heard about your clinic.
Your hands are softer than any VA doc's.
I'm wearing gloves.
He's messing with you. He thinks he's funny.
I am funny.
- VA, huh? - Yeah.
I did, uh, two tours in Afghanistan myself.
- Oh. So did the kid. - Yeah.
Vietnam for me.
[grunts]
But this one--
No desire to serve your country?
I'm a firefighter.
All right, you're all set.
Just keep it dry.
Make sure the dressing doesn't fall off, so you don't get an infection.
And, a-actually, I have something for you.
- [veteran 1] Oh. - [Jack] Huh? Yeah.
[chuckling] I-I see what you're doing here.
I slept rough for a while too.
So-- It was just easier to have some of those in your pocket.
- They're not that good. - [grunts] Mm-mmm.
But, you know, in a pinch.
You were homeless?
I was.
[Robert] Well, we're here if you need anything, sir.
- All right, let me help you up. - [veteran 1 grunts]
- All right. - There you go.
We'll definitely be back when we need more not-good granola.
- [chuckles] - [Robert] Here you go.
Hang on. You're a types-with-two-fingers guy?
I'm not typing with two fingers.
- I'm just-- - Mmm. Really?
[sighs] Two vets came in the other day, both unhoused.
An old guy and a kid.
Two different wars, both homeless.
How are we not taking care of our people? Huh?
So I'm trying to get some housing help, but the VA-- These government sites. God!
Do you know where they're living now? Because once you lose 'em--
Uh, at the turn off of 11th. Right by the park there.
Good. [sighs]
I mean, not good, but it's one of the safer encampments.
How do you know that?
Uh, my brother has struggled.
And, uh, yeah.
[all laughing]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Break it up. What you got going on over here, huh?
Oh. N-not for ladies' ears.
Oh, okay. So is backhanded misogyny for ladies' ears?
- He's teaching us dirty limericks. - Okay.
- [Travis] You wanna hear one? - Of course.
- Make sure I get it right. Um. - [veteran 1] Yeah.
A dirty old man in Leeds, notorious for unholy deeds,
tried to reform and really conform,
- but gave up and succumbed to his needs. - [Ben] All right.
[Victoria] Eh.
Well, okay, who's got something better?
- I know someone has something-- Okay. - Uh, a bartender taught me this.
There once was a boy named Max.
- Who went-- - Nope!
- [Jack] You love this one. - No, no, no.
No. You told me that one, and-- Ve-- Hard veto.
- Dad, Dad, please. - It's a community gathering.
It's too much. Do-Do not do it, Gibson.
All right, sir. Let's hear yours.
There once was a knight, taut and bold, who shrank when out in the cold.
But a fair maiden's whoosh
and the bounce of her tush restored him to a sight to behold.
[laughing] Oh, my God. So like a medieval ass man. [smacks lips]
I like it. Respect. Okay. Here's mine.
Her lover was too much the sap, so she drew him a treasure map.
And the direction he took left her happily shook,
'cause X marks the spot in her lap.
- Oh! - Oh!
- [Ben] That was good. - I like that one the best.
[Victoria] Thank you.
Hey, me too. So stand down, Private.

Do you know that crows have crazy memories?
Like, if you mess with one, it will remember your face for years.
I do not plan to mess with a crow--
I mean-- And the epigenetics.
Like, if their great-great-great grandfather crow, who they've never met,
never been on the planet at the same time as,
is a certain way, they're probably gonna be that way too.
- Okay. - [bartender] Here you go.
- Thank you. - Isn't that interesting?
And, like, scary?
- And wild? - Okay. Bella, what is going on?
Why are you drinking too much whiskey and talking about crows?
[sighs] Just thinking about my brother.
I mean, my family in general. Nature, nurture, all of it.
Okay.
I'm just worried about him.
Did something happen?
No.
I mean, nothing new.
But he's living on the streets, and I'm letting him.
You're not letting him.
[stammers] And also, you can't force him to do anything he's not willing to.
- [sighs] - The same way I couldn't force Andrea.
Isn't that terrifying?
I mean, we grew up in the same families as our brothers.
- Yeah, but we're different. - Now we are.
But what if we have time bombs in us
just like them, but-- but they haven't exploded yet?
Worse. What if we bury a time bomb in our kid?
Okay, okay, okay.
First of all, m-m-mental health is not a time bomb,
and it's also something you and I know to pay attention to
because of our families.
And we're gonna do the same for our kid.
You're good at this.
I know.
You're good at it too.
- What? Stressing at a bar? - No. No.
Look at you, already prioritizing the well-being of our future kid.
My mom didn't do it. Your mom didn't do it.
You're gonna be a great mom.

I didn't know I needed to hear that.
It's true.
Crows be damned.
No crows!
[veteran 1] Warren, I need you! Help! Help!
I-I don't know if he took something. He's been acting erratic.
- I didn't take anything. - [Ben] Arlo, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? If you took something, you need to let me know.
[veteran 1] No, he's sober.
He's been struggling lately, but I really don't think he--
- Uh, fruity breath. - Morris, do you know if Arlo is diabetic?
Yeah, he is. He's been rationing his insulin.
Okay, Morris, I'm gonna need you to stand back.
No. Morris. Morris. Morris, over here. Over here with me, okay?
[Ben] Hey, Arlo, stay with me, buddy. Stay with me.
Hey, Morris, Morris. Hey, hey. Are you okay? Are you okay?
[softly] Okay.
- [machine beeps] - Blood sugar is over 700.
[sighs] He's dehydrated. He could be hyperkalemic.
- I'm gonna need the aid car. - [medic] Got it.
LIFEPAK on.
- All right. Let's move! - [Carina] Cables are in.
What's happening?
Morris, this is something that needs to be treated at the hospital, okay?
Morris, how long has he been rationing his insulin?
Uh, a few weeks, maybe more. He knew he was running low.
He was trying to make it last. He didn't think he could get any more.
- Morris, you can't come. - He-He-He doesn't like being alone.
- He'll panic. - I will be with him.
- He knows me. - It's okay, Morris.
We'll meet 'em there. We'll meet 'em there.
We'll meet 'em there, okay?
Let's go sit down, okay? Let's go sit down, Morris, all right?
Come on. Come on.

Warren.
Yeah.
Okay.
[Morris exhales] He's gone.
[shakily] He's gone.

- I'm so, so sorry. - [sobbing]
I'm sorry.
It's not just that she connects with people
in a way I've never seen before,
but she is teaching other firefighters to do the same.
Great, then there'll be plenty of people there to fill the void
when she and her programs are gone.
Crisis One is not a Vic Hughes's program.
It is a citywide FD initiative, and it's a big part of why
FD was able to save all those lives at the Space Needle.
My expectation is the fire department will continue to do that work,
just like they used to before it had a special name.
[scoffs] Oh! With all the resources you're cutting?
[phone clatters, beeps]
Yeah, I'm gonna need you to push my 11:30.

Veterans Benefits' Adminstr--
Hello?
Y-Yes, the-- [stammers] I-I just got off the phone with him.
Could you-- No, no, don't put me on hold, please!
Don't put me on hold!
Ugh!
I've been trying to get Morris VA housing since the spring, okay?
- [sighs] - Everything is a roadblock.
I can't even get accurate information,
never mind starting the application process.
Anything "government,"
- it's not just red tape. - [sighs]
Babe, it's flypaper.
Can you imagine if we didn't join FD after we served?
Oh. [scoffs]
This could have been me or you or so many people we know.
I couldn't have kept a job in business or, God forbid, customer service
with my brain still calibrated to military life.
That crazy rigidity that maybe you will shake off one of these days.
[chuckles] Pot, kettle.
I'm just saying it is very nice to be the chill one in a relationship for once.
The chill-- You are not the chill one in the rela--
- I am very much the chill one. - No, you're not--
I really am. I really am.
Okay.
You're the chill one, but I'm the funny one.
Yes, yes. You are that. Yes, you are that.
And you know what else?
You are the considerate one, and you're the patient one,
and you are the steadfast one and the kind one...
- [Robert moans] - [moans]
...and the one most seduced by flattery.
[chuckles] Definitely.
- [phone operator] Hello? - Oh, yep, yep.
- Hello? [groans] - Please hold.
[Natasha chuckles]
[people chattering]
I can't believe that there is a possibility that there is a baby in there.
- Our baby. - Okay. No, no, no.
[chuckles] I'm sorry. I'm excited.
I just wanted this for so long
that if I let myself get too excited about it now
before we know for sure, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take it if...
No ifs.
Let's not talk about it for now.
I'm serious.
Let's talk-- talk about something else. Anything else.
I don't know what to talk about.
Okay. Well, what about how--
Let's talk about how crappy of a captain Beckett is or--
- Uh. - Or Jack being AWOL.
Oh. Morris came in today while you guys were on that call.
- Is everything okay? - Yeah.
Sullivan was giving him his old sleeping bag from his camping days.
Sullivan does not give off an "I camp" vibe.
[chuckles] I don't think it was that old.
- Aw. - Mmm.
I know.
Uh-uh-- [shushes]
- I didn't say anything. - You thought about it.
You thought-- Professional.
You don't know what I'm thinking.
Chop-chop, 19. Come on.
I know you're young and think you have all the time in the world.
I do not share that affliction.
I see we need to work on posture in addition to speed.
There we go.
There we go. Thank you, Herrera.
This afternoon, we'll be training with the SFD dive unit--
[dispatch] Crisis One requested to 11th and Central Parkway.
He might've gotten through more
if he wasn't so in love with the sound of his own voice--
Oh. That's just me and Herrera. So enjoy the rest of Beckett's one-man show.
[engine starts]
- [siren wailing] - [Morris] I can take all of you. Get back!
I can take you! I can take all of you!
- No! No! - Morris.
- Morris. Morris, hey. Hey, hey. - No! No! No!
Look. Look at me. Look at me. This is Vic--
It's Vic and Andy from Station 19. We are your friends.
- What? No. - Let's get him out of the street.
- It's Vic and Andy from Station 19. - No! No!
- Morris, you're okay. - No! What?
Breathe. Breathe in for four.
- [Morris] Four? - Box breathing. Can you show him? Okay.
- In for four. Hold for four. - [both breath deeply]
- [jackhammer banging] - Breathe.
Wait. No, no, no. Wait. Hey! Stop, stop, stop! Stop!
- Let her go. This is Andy. You know her. - Get away from me!
- Morris. Morris. Morris, stop. - I'm not gonna lose you!
- You have to let her go. This is Andy. - Di di mau!
I'm not gonna lose you!
- Morris, wait. No. - I'm not gonna lose you.
Stop, stop, stop. We are not in Vietnam. You are not in Vietnam.
- [dog barks] - You are safe. You are in Seattle.
- This is Andy. You gotta let her go. - [panting]
Talk to him. Tell him who you are.
It's Andy. You're in Seattle, and you're safe.
- [Victoria] Just keep breathing. Breathe. - [Andy] That's it. That's it.
- [Victoria] Let's go sit down. - [dog barks]
- In for four. - [Andy] Okay, come on.
- [Victoria] Two, three, four. Hold. - Come on. That's it. That's okay.
Two, three, four.
- Sit, sit, sit. We got you. - [Andy] We're right here.
- I got you. I got you. - We're right here.
[Andy] It's okay.
Can you give me a minute?
Uh, of course.
- Of course. - Yeah.
Yeah. We're gonna be right over there at the aid car, okay?
We're just gonna get you some water.
[Morris mouthing] Okay.
[Victoria] Just keep breathing for me, okay?
- How did you know what he was saying? - Di di mau?
Saigon Grill.
Travis and I do takeout from there a few times a week.
It means "hurry up."
[breathes deeply]
He's only gonna get worse, you know?
I mean, he was fine when Arlo was alive.
- Not fine circumstantially obviously... - Right.
...but he was steady.
It's just the isolation that's wrecking him.
You know, these vets-- They need more than basic services.
- They just-- They need a friend. - Well, we could be friends.
You know?
I'm just worried it's-- it's not gonna be enough.
Here, Morris.
- That's right. - [Victoria] Hey.
[Mayor] I'll make you a deal.
After Hughes is terminated,
you can allocate her salary any way you see fit.
- No. - You don't know how to make a deal.
Not with someone who doesn't know how to keep them, no.
And besides, the deal that you're proposing is a bad one.
I tried.
Good thing she taught so many people how to do what she does.
We won't miss her when she's gone.
- [chuckles] - Hey, Morris.
My man, I pulled the perfect coat for you.
You know, that's funny because I pulled the perfect coat for him.
- Come on. - [Morris] You guys are too much.
- [Ben] Huh? - [Theo] Well, you can have them both.
Oh, yeah, with all that closet space I have.
- Hey. Get out of here. - [Morris] Okay.
I am sorry, but I'm gonna have to break someone's heart tonight, boys.
With my coat, it might be some lady's heart.
[Ben] Here you go.
This-- This really means the world, guys.
They're both wonderful, but I gotta go with Ruiz's.
- [Ben] You're killing me. Ugh. - [Theo] Wise choice, Morris.
- There you go. There you go. - Oh. Yes.
- Let's get you in there. - Yes. Yes, yes.
There you go.
- Oh, yeah. Like a glove. - [groans]
I know it's stupid, but, uh, I needed a win, man.
And I needed a coat.
It looks sharp on you.
- Looking good. No hard feelings. - [Morris] Sharp.
All right. It's a good look. That's the important thing.
- Okay. Look at me. Look at me. - [Theo] Look at you.
I used to think that Arlo's generation had it easier when they got back,
but maybe I was wrong.
He told me when they got back, the tarmac was covered with people
with signs and balloons welcoming everybody.
But w-where were those people with balloons when the kid was hurting?
When we got back from Vietnam, oh, there--
[chuckling] ...there was a crowd all right,
but they spit on us as we walked by.
- God, Mo. - Yeah.
"To Vivianne who loved this park.
Love, Hal and your girls."
Who-- Who do you think "your-- your girls" are?
Is it, like, uh, her daughters from a first marriage or something?
It's such funny wording.
Like, he gets the plaque, and only he gets a name?
He paid for the plaque.
- [scoffs, chuckling] Okay. - It's nice that he put them in at all.
You know, maybe they're her dogs that he couldn't stand
or her-- her friends he couldn't stand.
Okay. I'm sensing a pattern here.
Like just something that's coming back around.
You know-- You know, if this plaque said, "To Morris who loved this park"...
- Mm-hmm? - ...they'd never guess that he loved it
because it was the one place that the cops wouldn't harass him.
Well, I would do a better job with the wording.
Unlike Hal.
Anybody who sat on this bench would know that Morris Hapgood
was the smartest and most loyal sage and friend.
You're an inspiration, buddy.
Really.
"Sage" just makes people think old.
[scoffs] Okay.
- I'll keep working on it. - [chuckling]
You win. Okay.
[phone rings]
Oh, God. I gotta go to class.
All right. Um.
You know what? Keep this. Keep all of this. Keep this.
- [softly] Okay. - See you next time, all right?
- Next time. - Bye!
Bye-bye.
[groans]
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just it didn't take.
Carina's IUI.
We are not pregnant.
Again.
Girl, I'm so sorry.
[Robert] Hey!
[Travis] Um... What is--
- Wow. What? - Come here. Come here.
- What are you doing? - [Travis] Yeah.
Happy-giddy you, way more disconcerting than authoritative-serious you.
Ooh. He's gonna feel bad when he finds out what I just did.
[Andy] What? What did you do?
I got Morris an interview for some VA transitional housing.
- Hey. All right. All right, all right. - [cheering] Yes!
Fine. I feel a little bit bad about calling you scary
when really you are the man.
[Theo] Nice. That's amazing, man.
That explains that weird dance.
I love it though. Thank you. That's amazing.
So, he's all set up? We don't have to do anything else?
- [Robert] He's good. - Well done.
- [car honking] - [commuter 1] Get out of the road!
- [siren whoops] - [commuter 2] Move!
[commuter 1] Move!
- [car honking] - [commuter 3] Come on, pops.
- [commuter 4] Come on! Gotta get to work! - Just-- Hold on please.
- Morris. - [commuter 5] Hey, Gramps. Move it!
Hey, just hold on a second, okay? Hold on. Hold on.
Morris. Morris.
Morris, what are you doing?
What are you doing? You--
You look really tired, Mo.
I am.
Okay. These honking cars probably aren't helping.
Let's get you out of the street.
Let's get you off the street, okay?
We don't want you to get hit, right?
- It wouldn't matter. - Yes, it would.
I would be devastated, Morris. Okay? I'd be devastated.
- Let's get you sat down, okay? - [Morris] They're going too slow.
- I wouldn't die. [groans] - Take a seat, take a seat, take a seat.
Morris, can you tell me what happened? They cleared out your encampment?
[Morris] It's all gone. Everything.
What am I supposed to do now?
My documents for-- for the housing interview.
They were in the tent.
The garbage truck came and took everything.
Everything I have in the world.
[Mayor] I'm so tired of this.
- This is you once again-- - [Natasha] No, no, it's your ego.
That's why you wanna fire Hughes.
What she did to you
is exactly what you desperately wanna do to the money guys
and to the special interest clowns
and cronies and bureaucrats who run cities,
the ones that you campaigned so hard against, but who now own you.
And you wanna push back, but you're afraid.
And you hate her because she wasn't.
Listen.
Don't fire the people who are really on your side
to appeal to the people who aren't.
That is the quickest way to lose everything.
Insubordination.
Nice.
Is this where Hughes learned it?
- Listen, I'm trying to help-- - Sit down.
We're figuring this out today.
[Robert grunts]
[sighs]
[grunts] Morris lost everything.
I can't believe we have to start all over again from scratch.
Yeah. But now, without his social security card
and his birth certificate, it'll be-- [inhales]
Even further back than scratch.
- Do you want him to move in with us? - What?
I know that's not how you fix something like this.
I'm just saying I would.
What?
What? What?
"Move in with us"? Do you wanna move in together?
Okay.
Okay, look, I know we haven't had this conversation,
but, like, aren't we moving in that direction?
Not tomorrow, but-- Help me.
Why do I suddenly feel so self-conscious?
And why do I feel like I'm 22 years old when we talk about next steps?
'Cause the last time we had that kind of conversation, we were probably that age.
- No, we were older. - Maybe a little bit.
But it was easier.
This is hard?
No, not this.
Not this.
Everything around it.
Around us.
What-- What are you doing?
I wanna be so ridiculous that when I say "I love you.
I wanna move in with you,"
you'll never feel self-conscious about any of this ever again.
You're gonna break the bed.
I'm gonna break a lot of beds with you, babe.
- Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop. - No.
So?
Yeah. Yeah.
- But first-- - Oh, here we go.
First, we gotta figure out how to get Morris new paperwork
so we can start the housing process again.
[Victoria] Look, I know you don't wanna be here,
but everyone gets a Crisis One shift.
I need you to hold it together for this guy, okay?
[Sean] Okay.
- [Victoria] Hey. - [Morris] Ah.
If-- If I knew you were coming, I would have picked up the place.
- [laughs] - You know what? I'm gonna do it now.
Okay. Very nice. All right.
You know, I know your stuff got cleared, Morris, so I got you some replacements.
- You didn't have to do that. - [Victoria] Look at it.
[gasps] Solaire Rambler 300?
-"The Rolls Royce of tents!" -"The Rolls Royce of tents!"
- It's the one you wanted, right? - [laughs] Oh, thank you.
But, you know, there's a shelter on Monroe, Morris,
that I can get you a bed in if you want.
- I told you I can't do a shelter again. - Okay.
- [camera shutter clicking] - All right.
Hello? Excuse me, please. Can you please not?
I'm just trying to have a private moment with a friend.
Can I ask you a few questions about the charity work you're doing?
- No, you can't. - Just one comment for the article.
- She told you we're not here for you. - Sorry.
Okay.
Um, Morris. Morris, I'm so sorry.
This-- You know this wasn't some publicity stunt.
- [softly] No. - I didn't know she was gonna be here.
It's fine. Sh-She's always here.
Plus, she got my good side.
- [laughs] - [Victoria laughing] Okay.
- Let's get you set up, huh? - [Morris] Okay.
- [Victoria] Okay. Here. - [Morris] Oh, goodness. Yes.
- What's going on with you? - What?
You're just acting strange.
Now you're hiding things in your locker?
It's, uh--
- It's T. - Hmm?
Testosterone.
I started on it last week.
Now that my levels are right,
- I'm starting to feel like myself again. - Good.
Starting to feel like my 20-year-old version of myself, actually.
- In all the ways, if you know what I mean. - Okay.
So, why are you hiding it?
Well, I haven't told Miranda yet.
- Haven't told her what? - Um...
That he's on testosterone.
Dude.
[Robert] It's not a big deal.
And now he feels amazing.
- Huh. - [Ben sighs]
"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive,
able to leap tall buildings in a single bound."
- She, um-- She doesn't get that reference. - [groans]
Oh, okay. Okay. We're just-- [stammers]
- [Maya grunts] - [locker opens]
There we go.
Oh, I get it.
Your shots give you super strength, whereas mine--
my shots, and shots, and shots, make me feel terrible.
[exhales]
We're doing IVF.
My eggs, her oven.
It's awful.
It's like I can feel my follicles growing my eggs.
- [Robert] Hmm. - It's like-- It's like grape jelly.
It's like grape jelly just sloshing around inside of me.
- [sighs] - Why grape?
I got it.
I love that your boy shots make you feel incredible,
[crying] while mine make me feel like a bloated chicken coop.
- [breathes heavily] - Chicken coop?
Because I'm a freaking egg factory, Beckett.
IVF. Keep up.
[Sean] When my ex-wife was doing IVF, peppermint helped.
[dispatch] Engine 19 and Ladder 19 requested to 11th and Central Parkway.
Hey, hey. It's the encampment. It's Morris's encampment.
Should I switch with someone? I know it really well.
Can't do it today, Hughes.
You're on probation until we hear otherwise from the chief.
I'll see you in a bit.
Let's move, people. Let's move.
Beckett, Wiggins, status on the south side?
In progress.
[Andy] Bishop, Green, is the north side contained?
Roger, Captain. Line is working.
Warren, Cutler, more patients on their way to triage.
- Copy. - [Andy] Sullivan, Montgomery, evac status?
Talk to me, people.
[Sean] Hey, somebody needs to get Morris out of his tent now.
I should just tell her. Just the facts. It'll be easier for her to hear--
You want me to do it? We've been doing Crisis One together.
- [Travis] Let me do this. - [Andy] Hughes.
Uh.
Morris...
I'm-- I'm so sorry.
Uh, we're gonna do a hotwash and a critical incident stress debriefing.
- I'm gonna call Diane. - I should do it.
The CISD.
Well, yeah, of course, you'll do it with us.
I mean, you-- you weren't on the call,
but obviously, he was-- he was really important to you.
No, I mean, I'd like to run the debriefing.
I am trained for this, and I know how much he meant to all of us.
- Okay, hold up. Captain-- - No, I can do it.
I need to do it.
Warren, call Dispatch.
Make our status conditionally avail for the CISD.
Copy that.
What we do is hard.
What we see and experience every day in this job is hard.
This is an acknowledgement of that as well as a safe place to discuss it,
so we don't bottle things up,
so we don't self-medicate in harmful and dangerous ways.
So we can keep doing this job for years to come.
Any questions on that?
This discussion is going to revolve around four questions.
What did we do right?
What was supposed to happen?
What actually happened?
And what do we wish we had done differently?
Now, these questions are gonna bring up feelings,
and we're gonna discuss those too.
So, what do we think was done right?
We quickly established a water supply immediately upon arrival.
We got two hose lines working around the perimeter to keep the fire contained.
[Ben] We set up an efficient and effective triage area.
We protected exposures.
You two haven't said very much. Anything you wanna add?
Okay. Travis?
I don't think we did anything right.
Okay. Can you say a little more about that?
- [Robert] Hey! Morris. - Come on. Let's get you out of here.
- [Robert] You gotta come with us. - No, I have to-- This is my stuff.
This is my tent.
[Robert] I understand, but you have to come with us.
No, no, leave me alone.
Listen to me. Whatever's inside that tent, it's not worth your life.
We understand.
- Hey, you okay? - I'm not leaving without my stuff.
- Morris! - [Robert] No!
[bystanders screaming]
Okay. Um...
Okay.
What do we wish had happened?
I wish you were there.
That's what I wish had gone differently.
And I'm not blaming you for what went down or you for not letting her go.
- Herrera isn't the reason I wasn't there. - [Travis] I know that.
I know this isn't even rational.
But the question was, what do I wish went differently?
- So I am telling you that. - [Victoria] Yeah, I know,
and you were answering honestly and that's exactly right, so...
[breathes deeply]
You wish I'd been there because...
Because I think you could have convinced Morris to leave his tent.
♪ All things end ♪
♪ Sing the words till I believe again ♪
What else?
Because maybe I wouldn't be carrying all this guilt and failure for not saving him.
At minimum, I wouldn't be carrying it alone.
Because...
Because?
Because when you're carrying something with me,
even the garbage stuff, it doesn't feel so impossible.
Travis, I wasn't there.
But I'm here now.
I am carrying this with you now.
Everyone in this circle is.
No one here is alone in it.
You're surrounded by people who get it.
They get your pain and your loss and your guilt and your anger.
You are surrounded by the very best people to help you through it.
You are too.
Morris didn't have that for a lot of years.
But I know for a fact...
that we made sure he had it in his last one.
So I'm gonna email everyone some aftercare resources, but I'm here too.
So, even though this formal session is done,
you can grab me anytime if you want to talk more about any of this.
Okay?
- And she did it again, folks. - [Andy chuckles]
Yeah, and it saved his life. Wait, no, he died.
Hey, hey, hey.
No, Travis. He's gone. He's gone.
We did everything we could and he's gone.
He served a country that didn't take care of him back.
Not even a little bit.
He tried to protect a world that did not protect him.
Because you give and you give and you give and you give,
and the second you need-- the second he wasn't strong--
The second he wasn't happy and easy and funny and strong--
'Cause, I mean, how could he be, right?
Because he knew how awful the world could be.
Vic, are we still talking about Morris here?
What does that mean?
Hang on, hang on. I think what Travis was--
No, no, no. Of course I'm talking about me!
I'm talking about me who takes care of everyone all the time. My entire life.
Me who tables my feelings and my sadness and my confusion and my fear
and cracks a joke to make you all feel better
and more capable and fine even when I am not fine.
When I can't breathe because it's all so scary.
When I-- [panting]
When I'm-- When my chest feels--
When I can't even see.
I can't even see through a-- a fog of-- when--
- [mumbles] Do not touch me! - [stammers]
Just give her some room. Just let her breathe.
I'm talking about Morris.
Of course it's about Morris, and it's about me, and about all of us, right?
It's about all of us, 'cause it's not just-- [crying] it's not just me.
It can't just be me.
Of course it's not. It's-- It's not.
When he needed someone, there was no one. There was no one.
No, that-- that's not true, Vic. All right? He had us.
You know he had us.
- He knew he had us. - And it wasn't enough, Ben.
It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough.
And pretty soon they're going to take away the thing that we tried to do to save him
because they take everything away.
- They are taking it all away. - We're not going to let them.
- None of us are going to let that happen. - [Victoria scoffs]
[Robert] We will not let them take away Crisis One.
[Victoria] Oh, my God.
- I'm s-- I'm sorry. - It's okay. You're okay.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, my God. - [Andy] It's okay.
- Don't-- - Oh, my God. I'm sorry. Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
[door slams]
[door opens]
Oh, come on. You gotta be a little impressed.
I gave you, like, a whole three minutes.
You know...
you saved everyone from having full-on nervous breakdowns today.
[scoffs] You mean before I had one?
Come on.
Travis, for months, I didn't...
I couldn't feel anything.
And then...
God, I don't know what's worse.
[sniffs]
The session was incredible, blah, blah, blah.
- All the compliments that you hate. - [sighs]
But, honestly, the best part was--
was when you, you know...
[sighs]
Even the best ones like when the strong women cry.
I'm serious.
I see how it is.
It's-- It was, you know, like, in the movies when the baby is born
and it's not crying and everyone's panicking
because this means something is very wrong.
But they're also trying not to seem panicked
because they don't want to worry the mother, and it's like,
nervous, silent eye contact, nervous, silent eye contact.
But then the baby starts wailing, and everyone's, like,
relieved, silent eye contact, relieved, silent eye contact.
Thank the Lord.
Yeah, I do. I do know that moment in real life
because we are actual first responders, you know.
- Okay, I don't appreciate that tone. - Yeah?
But it was like that.
It was like that when you started crying.
It was like, "Phew. The baby's fine.
The baby made it."
- I'm the baby? - Yeah.
- [chuckles, sniffs] - Sometimes you get to be the baby...
and other people take care of you.
Oh, I love you...
and I will always take care of you.
- And your eyes are gonna be so puffy now. - [crying] Shut up.
- [sniffs] - It's gonna be so bad.
This is what you like.
[both laugh]
- [Andy sighs] - Here you go, Captain.
I think you're gonna love it.
- [Andy] Thank you. - Oh, hey, Chief. Chief.
No, no, no, no. Relax.
After the day you all had, please, really, you can relax.
Lieutenant Sullivan called me.
I'm so sorry about Morris.
I know how much he meant to all of you.
What you meant to him.
All right, well, this isn't going to rewrite your difficult day,
but, uh, I do have some good news.
["Where the Wind Blows" playing]
Crisis One is safe.
For now.
What about Vic? Does Hughes still have a job?
Well, who'd you think was gonna run the now-safe Crisis One?
- [Victoria sighs] - [Ben chuckles]
You saved her job.
Her work saved her job.
The good work you all do saved her job.
[chuckles]
Crisis One saved her job.
- Well-- [chuckles] - Chief, let me get you a bowl of gumbo.
- Hold on. Grab a seat. - He'll fix you a plate.
This is the Warren Family world-famous gumbo.
- [Natasha] Wow. - [Ben] It was gonna cheer everybody up.
