I thought -- I thought it was me.
I thought something was wrong with me, that --
that things just kept not working out,
and I think I just realized it's all of you,
knowing, prescribing what's best for me.
It was the guy in the parking lot who decided he knew better
when I said I didn't want things to go any further.
I-It -- It was my dad when the idea of seeing his daughter
take over would have been too big of a sign for him
to know that he was done.
I-It was Sullivan when -- when he wanted to keep me in my place
because his life was a mess, and it's you trying to make this
as slow and hard and painful as possible for me,
because if you had to come up this way, the hard way,
then so do I.You have been through a trauma, alright?
It's this whole screwed-up system.
Th-- The one that tells women of color that we should be grateful
for even the smallest thing we're given.
Even if we've earned it.
Even if it's less than we deserve.
Even if it's an open secret that the expectations on us
are higher and the rewards always lower,
because we should know our place, right?
Because we're lucky to get anything to begin with.

Vic: Mai told them everything,
and they're still taking them in?
It's one jail to the next.
Nah, I'm sure they're not locking them up.
They're just gonna get their stories.
You sure about that?
They're taking them to Seattle Pres to get checked out.
I called an immigration attorney I know to meet them there,
take up their cause, work on getting them S-Visas
and financial compensation.Yeah, they still don't have to
cart them off like that, Chief.
And the security guard -- was he just gonna
let those women die to save himself?
It's not his fault. He's just as scared about
what was gonna happen to him as the women were.
It's a circle of oppression.But the owner --
Is already being questioned by the police.
By the police, or his buddy, Dixon?
You know he's gonna get away with this.
Look, we can't fix everything, but whenever
it's in my purview, I do whatever I can.
Not enough is in our purview.
I mean, this was modern-day slavery in our city.

it's horrendous and it's devastating, and it's not

gonna happen. You're right to be upset,
but you can either put yourself in a position
to do something about it or don't complain.
So, because I'm not a lieutenant,
I don't get to have opinions about the world?
No, you can.
It's just -- It's kinda pointless.

Okay, what about this new brother of yours?

[ Music stops ]
It's okay. I'm okay.
Okay, dude, snake in the saw.
What?My mom was all about these
animal stories when I was a kid to teach me stuff, alright?
Here it is: One night, a snake sneaks into a barn.
He's slithering around, he clips himself on a saw on the ground.
The snake freaks and instantly snaps at the saw,
and cuts his mouth up, which makes him even more pissed.
So, then the snake wraps his body around the saw,
thinking it'll suffocate it and kill it that way.
Of course that doesn't work.
He ends up killing himself, coiling around a blade.
The snake's rage --Yeah, man, I got it, okay?
Cool fable, bro -- you're saying that me carrying around
all this anger for Dixon is only gonna end up hurting me.
[ Sighs ]I got it.
No, that's...
No, what I'm saying is, snapping at it's not gonna beat it.
Strangling it's not gonna beat it.
The only thing that can take down a saw is...
Rust?Right.
So now, think of a realistic way
to beat the thing that you're fighting.

I'm glad he's dead.
And I know I shouldn't say that,

Thank you.
For making sure that I knew how to defend myself.
Did you tell anyone at the department?
There was nobody running FD that cared about stuff like this.
I told a few people in my work group, but they said that
it would only make me look bad, make women in FD look bad.
It would only prove that maybe it wasn't a good idea
integrating.
