[HEARTBEAT THUMPING]
[DON, MUFFLED] How you feeling, Blue?
- [NORMAL] Blue.
- [SNAPS FINGERS]
- What?
- Captain's talking to you.
I asked you how you're feeling.
Like [SIGHS] I'm at the
biggest fork in the road of my life.
You are gonna do great, Son.
Don't worry, Blue.
You already aced the academy
written exam. You'll be fine.
- Yeah, skill test is a cherry on top.
- Appreciate it.
Yeah. Well, you better crush it
because the chief and his
whole entourage are here.
And if you don't pass, they'll
have Dad's hide for backing you.
Ryan, he doesn't need any more pressure.
Hey, you got this.
Just focus on your breathing.
Remember your training.
You're gonna do just fine.
Whatever you say, Dad.
[DIXIE] Well, you know
what Dolly once told me.
It's okay to have butterflies,
so long as they're flying
Flying in formation.
Hey, don't be no smart-ass
in front of your father.
He needs to see I raised
you better than that.
Don't worry. I'm about to show
him exactly who you raised me to be.
[PROCTOR] All right,
folks, take your seats.
We're about to get started.
- Hey, Mom. Looking fancy.
- Hey.
Oh, really? Wow, thank you.
- I just got back from a board meeting.
- [PERSON CLEARS THROAT]
- Hi.
- Oh.
Dixie. [CLEARS THROAT]
Blythe, I didn't expect to see you here.
Oh [SIGHS] I
wouldn't have missed it.
I mean, we've been supporting
Blue privately for so long.
It's so nice to be allowed
to support him publicly.
- He's a good kid.
- Oh, thank you.
He really takes after his father.
[SCOFFS] Well, don't you worry.
There's plenty of me in there too.
That's what scares me.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey.
- What was that all about?
- Nothing worth repeating. How's Blue?
Honestly, he seems a little tense.
Hmm. Well, I mean, some
nerves are to be expected.
That's just the thing. It
doesn't feel like nerves.
It feels like something else.
This test is pass, fail.
Complete all stations in under ten
minutes and 20 seconds, you pass.
You don't, you fail.
Let's do it.
On your mark. Set. Go.
- [GROUP CHEERING]
- ["HURRICANE COMING" PLAYS]
Okay, here we go.
My boy's cooking.
[DON] You got it, Blue!
[RYAN] If you ever want to make
a career change, you let us know.
You?
What are the odds?
Ryan, this is your brother.
Yeah. Let's go up faster. Twice as fast.
That's my son!
[RYAN] Yeah, Blue, let's go!
And everybody in the know say ♪
You're runnin' 'round with trouble ♪
Bringing heat, raising hell ♪
[BLUE] I've always been a loser.
I wish I met you sooner.
Maybe some of that Hart
magic would've rubbed off on me
when it still could've
made a difference.
I'm proud of you.
Come on, Blue. Focus.
There's a hurricane coming ♪
[GRUNTS]
There's a hurricane coming ♪
It's picking up the pace ♪
Keep going, Blue. Keep going.
[RYAN] All right, get ready, get ready!
It ain't afraid of nothing ♪
[BLUE] He knew about me all along.
There's a hurricane coming ♪
He knew about me all along.
My whole life, he knew.
[LAUGHING]
There's a hurricane coming ♪
- Yeah.
- [CHEERING]
How long do you think
That we can ride this? ♪
Bring it home, Blue.
When the weather's this bad
Can't be no fairy tale inside this ♪
There's a hurricane coming ♪
You better look out ♪
Come on, Blue. Come on. You got it!
- [CHEERING STOPS]
- [MUSIC STOPS]
You gotta cross the finish line, son.
- What the hell?
- Oh, no.
[CROWD MURMURING]
What the hell is he doing?
He's giving us the middle finger.
Blue. Hey. What's going on?
Doesn't feel good
getting duped, does it?
What has gotten into you, boy?
You always told me you
didn't know who my dad was.
But you knew the whole
time. And so did you.
How'd you find out?
An album in your house
with all my childhood photos.
That only you could
have sent them, Mama.
You're gonna stand there and deny it?
No. No, I don't deny it.
It was my choice, and I own it.
I'm the one who kept
him from contacting you.
Why?
Because I wanted to protect you.
And I didn't want you
feeling the same shame
that I felt every day of knowing
you were second choice.
And I refused to let
you be defined by that.
Well, you failed.
Look, don't let your anger at us
prevent you from passing this test.
Given how well you're doing,
I'm sure they'll let you retake it
as long as we get back in there.
I've made my choice.
Honey, you have worked so hard for this.
You walk away now, it
could cost you everything.
You're right.
I'm out.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
I don't know, guys. It
seems like it's going bad.
Chief's jaw is mighty clenched.
[TAYLOR] Cap's a people person.
He can smooth anything
over. He's got this.
Your cadet embarrassed
this whole damn department!
- Or not.
- Firefighters.
[BOTH] Chief.
You all may have noticed
some fireworks today.
Especially the blue colored ones.
I cannot have that
distract you from your job,
or the carrots you've been
chopping for the past six minutes.
- You notice that, didn't you?
- Mm-hmm.
What'd the chief say?
Chief just said hiring a loose cannon
like Blue is an abuse of my authority.
They're not gonna suspend you, are they?
If I had to bet.
What? For how long?
Remains to be seen.
Chief, just informed me
that I have been summoned
to a board of rights meeting.
Whoa, whoa. Board of rights meeting?
They only call one of those if
they're going to suspend you
for more than 30 days or worse.
- Correct.
- Oh, no, Cap.
Has Blue called you back
since he blew everything up?
I just get voicemail.
- [SIGHS]
- Unbelievable.
Hey, you all need to get
your game faces back on.
Those tones could go off at any second.
The city needs us at our best
even when things are at its worst.
[CAMMIE]
Okay, can I please have
yours and your ex's names?
I'm Gemma. My ex
is Victor. Victor Plante.
Hi, Gemma. I'm Cammie. I'm gonna help.
I'm pulling up his information
now. How old are your kids?
Leila's seven and Adrian's five.
Okay, I'm texting you a link. I'd
like you to upload a photo of them.
[PHONE BEEPING]
[CAMMIE] You sure this is a kidnapping?
[GEMMA] Yes, Victor sent me a text.
It said, the kids are going
to heaven. I'll see you in hell.
I'm sending out an Amber Alert now.
Alden, we have an abducted
seven-year-old female
and a five-year-old male.
I need you to put out a
BOLO on a red Durango.
All right, on it.
Okay, Gemma. Law
enforcement's being dispatched.
Is Victor's home still at
323 Magnolia Avenue?
[GEMMA] It was, until
the divorce. He lost his job.
I thought he'd moved
back in with his mom.
He's always been a mama's boy,
but I think he's been living in his car.
Have you tried calling him?
Yeah, but he won't pick up. He
hates me for getting full custody.
Do you have any idea
where they might be headed?
No, we have to find them.
- Did you say he's a mama's boy?
- Yeah, why?
Stanley, a favor, please.
Just say the word, Cammie.
Daddy, where are we going? I miss Mommy.
And I told you not to talk about Mommy.
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hey, Mom. What's going on?
- Hey, Vic. What you up to, Son?
- Just out for a drive.
- Oh, yeah? Where to?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, Highway 70. I just
needed to get out of town.
Let's just hope she can keep him
on long enough for us to find him.
Hey, uh, you don't have
the kids with you, do you?
I Yeah. How'd you
know? Did Gemma call you?
[VICTOR'S MOM] No, no. No, she didn't.
- Then how'd you know to call me?
- We just don't want anybody to get hurt.
- We? Who the hell is we?
- [CRIES]
Mr. Plante, this is Stanley Bush
with Nashville Emergency Services.
We know you have your children.
- Mom, you called the cops.
- They called me.
Now, you listen to me, Stanley.
If I see a cop, so help me I'll
I will crash this car, do you
understand me? I'll kill us!
Were you able to ping his location?
He hung up before I could,
but we did get Highway 70.
Which narrows it down to a 160 miles.
Gemma, is there any place on Highway
70 that means anything to Victor,
just anywhere y'all used to go?
The quarry.
We used to camp there every Labor Day.
The kids love to swim in the gulch.
Bellevue Quarry's
at the bottom of a cliff.
I think he's gonna drive off it.
He said he would crash
the car if he saw a cop.
How else are we supposed to stop him?
I mean, there's nowhere
for them to hide out there.
It's totally exposed.
We send someone who's not a cop.
[SIREN WAILING]
113 rescue in position.
I think we beat him here.
Great job, 113.
Don't high-five us yet. We need
you to talk us through the next part.
Okay, put the deployment box
on the ground and make sure
the arrow is pointed toward
the road, then open it and arm it.
- We're set.
- [CAMMIE] Okay.
Take the remote control
and get out of sight.
He's gonna be there any second.
- Daddy, can we please slow down?
- I miss Mommy.
I told you not to talk about Mommy!
- [HORN HONKING]
- [TIRES SQUEALING]
[HORN HONKING]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
Please don't hurt us, Daddy.
[CRYING] It'll only
hurt for a second, and
and then it will be all better.
- [FOOT STOMPING]
- [LEILA SCREAMS]
- [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [ADRIAN CRYING]
Now!
[TIRES POPPING]
- [SCREAMS]
- [TIRES SQUEALING]
[TIRES SCREECH]
[ROXIE] PD, you're up.
All right, let's move. Go, go, go.
Tennessee State Police.
Show me your hands!
- [OFFICER 1] Let me see your hands.
- [OFFICER 2] Show me your hands!
- Hey, guys.
- Get out the car. Get on the ground.
- [SIREN BLARES]
- Put your hands behind your back.
Come here, buddy.
- Hi, baby.
- Here you go.
Dispatch, 113, we have both kids.
Tell their mama that they're safe.
I don't have to, y'all
just did. [CHUCKLES]
[CRYING] Thank you, Cammie.
Believe me, it was a team effort.
[VIDEO CALL RINGING]
Oh, Donnie, you look like you
were rode hard and put away wet.
- Thank you, sweetie.
- Well, you didn't sleep at all, did you?
I just heard from the chief.
Board of rights meeting
is set for Tuesday.
Oh, my. Well, they're moving fast.
Good news is I'm allowed
to stay on the job until then.
And the bad news?
Well, you hear words like "liability"
and "reckless" being thrown around,
and anything's on the table.
Do you want me to reach out to
my father? He could call the mayor.
No, do not call your father.
- [DIXIE] Don. Where are you?
- Oh, Lord.
- [TAYLOR] Hey, ma'am. Ma'am? Ma'am.
- Where is he?
Okay, well, you can't
just come in here like that.
[SCOFFS] Yeah. Well, you
just try and stop me, sweetheart.
Donnie, what's going on?
Dixie just walked in.
Let me call you back.
Oh, hell no. You keep
this phone on, Donald Hart.
[DIXIE] Where is he?
Dixie, what are you doing here?
Blue didn't come home last night.
I mean, I was hoping maybe he came here,
but he won't return any of my calls.
Mine either.
And you needed to
come say this in person?
- What, your phone doesn't work?
- Can you mute her?
You know what? This
doesn't concern you, Blythe.
[DIXIE] Our son is missing.
The last time he pulled
something like this
was when his friend
died after a car accident.
- He went off the deep end.
- Where did he go then?
To every honky-tonk in town
that would take his fake ID.
I mean, he drank himself
into a diabetic shock.
We have to find him.
- [BLYTHE] Well, you should call Cammie.
- Who is that?
It's my sister-in-law.
She's a dispatcher.
She can put out an APB on his car.
[SIGHS] God, I just
hope we ain't too late.
[RYAN] Y-You're not.
How do you know?
He put me on read for the last 24 hours.
I just texted him saying,
"Hey, your mom's here.
She's worried you might
be dead." He finally replied.
- Oh, my God. Well, what'd he say?
- "Tell her I'm not."
[SCOFFS]
- That's something, I suppose.
- You think he'd be up for a meeting?
Maybe. Just not with either of you.
[COUNTRY BANJO MUSIC PLAYING]
This looks like the spot.
Nice dark pools, undergrowth to feed on.
Nobody around for miles.
I don't know about this, Jesse.
This is literally the most
humane way to fish known to man.
Yeah, but isn't it dangerous?
How many times I gotta tell you,
dynamite fishing is not dangerous, Beau.
Not if you know what you're doing.
Yeah, I watched every YouTube on it.
Yeah, but isn't it illegal?
[SCOFFS] You know what else is
illegal in the state of Tennessee?
Huh?
Selling hollow logs.
Sitting on public sidewalks.
[SCOFFS]
- Really?
- Yes, really.
A bunch of nanny laws.
You like fried bluegill?
It's my favorite.
We'll get enough in one swoop
to freeze for the whole season.
All right, let's do it.
Get ready to scoop the floaters.
Fire in the hole.
[BEAU] Isn't it supposed to sink?
Might not have weighted it enough.
- [BEAU] The current's pulling it in.
- [JESSE] It's coming right at us.
No, no. No, no, jump!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[BOTH YELLING]
[GASPS]
- [GASPS]
- Beau, you all right?
No, I'm not all right! You
blew up my damn boat.
Oh. Oh, my God.
Hey!
Girl! Hey, are you okay?
Hey, girl.
[BEAU]
[BEAU]
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[DON] There she is.
Current's looking strong.
Taylor, where are those rescue boats?
En route, but they're coming
from the Percy Priest Dam.
They'll never make it in time.
There's rapids around that bend.
All right, the gas. Let's
get up ahead of her.
Taylor, grab me some rope.
Okay, Cap, what are you thinking?
He's thinking about going cowboy.
Radio medical and have them set up here.
[FIREFIGHTER] Yes, sir. Copy that.
Got her.
I don't think she's breathing.
[DON] All right, Ry, check her
pulse. Continuing compressions.
Rox, over here. She's
not breathing. No pulse.
Tay, can you get her on the LIFEPAK?
- [TAYLOR] Yeah.
- [DON] Got it?
- [ROXIE] One, two, three, four
- [DON] Come on, kid.
[ROXIE] Come on, honey.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [VICTIM COUGHS]
- [ROXIE] I have respiration.
We've got ROSC. Pulse is
thready, but we've got a heartbeat.
- Let's get her on the stretcher.
- All right. Lifting in three, two, one.
[ROXIE] Hey, honey, can you hear me?
She's still not responsive.
- That's odd.
- What's odd?
- I don't hear any fluid in her lungs.
- But she was in the water.
Yeah, unless she stopped
breathing before she hit the water.
Dispatch says that she only popped up
after those two idiots
dynamited the river.
Yeah, but I'm not seeing
any signs of blast trauma
or internal bleeding either.
None of this makes sense.
[SIREN WAILING]
Village West, 113 inbound
with an unidentified female.
Jane Doe has no ID, but
appears to be age 14 to 18.
Unresponsive. Cause still unclear.
[DISPATCHER] Copy,
113. We're standing by.
Tay, how's she doing?
Heart rate keeps going
up, but her O2's dropping.
Like you said, it
doesn't make any sense.
[ROXIE] Pupils are pinpointing.
How did I miss this?
It's opioids. I need Narcan.
- It was a mistake.
- What was a mistake?
- It was a mistake.
- What was a mistake?
- Hey, hey, stay with me.
- [MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY]
She's not breathing.
Respiration stopped.
We need to intubate. Laryngoscope.
Hey, Doc's about to intubate,
so no potholes or she's
gonna break some teeth.
Copy that.
She's cyanotic, Doc.
- Tay, pass me the adult tube.
- Got it.
All right. There we go.
[ROXIE] Tape.
Come on, baby. Come on.
[BEEPING STEADIES]
O2's comin' back up. She's back.
For now.

[DOOR ENTRANCE BELL CHIMES]
[RYAN] Hey, man.
- [BLUE] Hey.
- [EXHALES HEAVILY] You look like hell.
Uh, where did you sleep last night?
[SIGHS] My car.
I can't go home to Mama.
- You slept in your car?
- It's not the first time in my life.
We didn't all grow up with
chandeliers in our barns.
Okay, so it's gonna be like that, huh?
You want me to
apologize, Blue? Is that it?
Because it's not my
fault that I was born first.
Either way, I think you got
the better end of the deal.
Well, at least I appreciate
the gifts I've been given
and the people who gave them to me.
I mean, you might have
ruined Dad's career.
He could get fired over this.
But you know what, he would still
welcome you back with open arms.
Welcome me back?
He ruined my life.
Welcome to Snow White.
What can I get y'all this morning?
[BLUE] Hi.
Um I'll do bacon and eggs.
Eggs over medium, not sunny-side,
not scrambled, just medium.
- [LAUGHS]
- Oh, what?
Is that too high-maintenance for you?
No, it's my exact order.
- For real?
- For real.
I'll take the same thing, please.
- Put that right in for y'all.
- Thank you.
So I think we may have found
the one thing we have in common.
No, I can think of at least two others.
Such as?
We both spent our entire lives
being lied to about each other.
What's the other thing?
Look man, I I don't
know your belief system.
But I believe that you and I,
we're both here on
this earth to help people.
And I know I was a doubter
when Dad first hired you, but
- A hater more like.
- Man, this job's not for everybody.
And you, you proved me
wrong. I'm a believer now.
It's like you said that
first day at the station,
being a firefighter,
that's your calling.
Pretty sure I flushed
that calling down the toilet.
Man, if I know one thing,
it's that nothing is ever
lost until you give up on it.
- And Harts, we always find a way.
- [SIGHS]
Except I'm not a Hart. I'm a Bennings.
And the only thing we find our
way to is the bottom of a bottle.
- Okay, man, you gotta stop doing that.
- Stop what?
You gotta stop the poor me,
intergenerational trauma BS
that you're using to
justify acting like a loser.
So you do think I'm a loser.
I think you're trending that way.
- I'm out.
- Whoa. Look, Blue
Okay, you've always had the
harder road, you always had.
But that doesn't change the fact that
you got a choice here to make today,
right here, right now
about who you're gonna be.
No matter what you decide,
it's not gonna be on Dad and
it's not gonna be on your mama.
It's on you.
Thanks for the lecture, big brother.
Where are you gonna go,
man? What are you gonna do?
I'll figure something out.
You can run, Blue.
But you can't hide from who you are.
A loser, right?
[DOOR ENTRANCE BELL CHIMES]

Where bright angels feet have tread ♪
Shall we gather at the riv ♪
[YU] Hello, can I help you?
[GIRL] I'm looking for Roxie.
I'm Roxie.
Hey. You're her.
The girl from the river.
I'm so glad you're okay.
How did you end up in that river
anyway? Who did that to you?
[GASPS, PANTING]
[TAYLOR] Rox, you good?
Yeah
No. Actually, no.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
[TAYLOR] Here you are.
- Thanks, Tay.
- Okay.
You know, I've never had a
nightmare about a patient before.
This one hit close to home.
It's haunting me. Not
knowing anything about her.
Well, there is one way you can find out.
[PHONE BUZZES]
- This is Dr. Hart.
- Hey, Sam. It's Rox and Taylor.
Yeah, what can I do for y'all?
We just wanted to check in
about the Jane Doe from the river.
- How is she?
- [SAMANTHA] She's stable.
We flushed all the
opioids out of her system.
They're probably what kept the water out
of her lungs at the bottom of the river.
That's good.
Did her family ever show up?
Uh, no, we've been pushing
her picture on our socials,
but nobody's come
forward to identify her.
So sad that nobody
came to pick that baby up.
It happens far too often,
actually. Breaks my heart. [SIGHS]
[ROXIE] Has she woken up?
No, she is still in a coma.
She's breathing on her own, but
she hasn't regainedconsciousness.
- What's the plan for her now?
- If nobody claims her,
my director's pressing me to transfer
her to a third party caregiver tonight.
You mean dump her into
some county facility? She'll rot.
[SAMANTHA] I have
pushed back as hard as I can.
I've held him off till tomorrow,
but financial services is
all over us to clear the bed.
What about UTS?
UTS?
Ultrasonic dynamic stimulation.
It's been proven to revive
patients in comatose states.
I hear you, but there's no way
the hospital's gonna authorize that
without insurance.
What if it was out of pocket?
Whose pocket?
- Mine.
- Hmm.
Uh [STAMMERS] I mean
that could cost over $25,000.
Girl, you can just drop 25K?
I still have some savings left
over from my days as a surgeon.
Seriously though?
When she looked up
at me in that ambulance,
her eyes were filled with regret.
I know what it's like to feel that way.
What do you mean
you know what it's like?
Don't worry about it. The
point is she didn't wanna die.
Tell the bean counters
I'm good for it, Dr. Hart.
Are you sure?
[ROXIE] I'm sure.
Okay.
Well, I will see you
in the morning then.
Roxie, Taylor, this is one
of our financial officers.
He's gonna go over some
paperwork before the procedure.
[FINANCIAL OFFICER] So,
who's the under-signer today?
- I am.
- [FINANCIAL OFFICER] Okay.
This states that you assume
full financial liability on the UTS
being done on Jane Doe
now and into perpetuity.
We need your initials here,
here, here, and signature there.
It's 25 grand, right?
Unless there are complications,
then there's no telling.
- I'll pitch in too.
- [CHUCKLES]
[ROXIE] Let's do this.
How does this work?
They stimulate the
thalamus with sonic bursts.
Part of the brain that
regulates arousal.
[TAYLOR] Hmm.
- Like turning the starter on an engine.
- Basically, yeah.
It's still pretty experimental,
but sometimes, it wakes them up.
[TECHNICIAN] She's ready, Doctor.
How often have you seen this work?
On YouTube, several times.
How about in person?
Never.
[TECHNICIAN] Thalamus targeted, Doctor.
[DOCTOR] Great. Fire a burst.
[MRI MACHINE WHIRRING]
Again.
- [MOUSE CLICKS]
- [MRI MACHINE WHIRRING]
- Again.
- [MRI MACHINE WHIRRING]
And
- another.
- [WHIRRING CONTINUES]
Rox, no matter what happens,
I think that it's really beautiful
how you stepped up for her.
I was lost once too.
I wouldn't be here if somebody
hadn't stepped up for me.
Again.
[MRI MACHINE WHIRRING]
[TECHNICIAN] Whoa.
Turn on the intercom. I
think she's saying something.
[INTERCOM BEEPS]
[JANE DOE MUMBLING]
[ROXIE] Turn it up.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
If she's talking, how
come she won't wake up?
[DOCTOR] I don't know.
I've never seen like this.
[CONTINUES SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Is that German?
[CONTINUES SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Siri, translate.
[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
According to this app, it's not
German. It's Pennsylvania Dutch.
Pennsylvania Dutch. What is she saying?
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad.
I just wanna come home."
[SPEAKING PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH]
She's talking to her parents.
And I think I know where to find them.
Scott, no. I understand
the expedience of it,
but I'm not gonna
lay that at Blue's feet.
[STAMMERS] I know the consequences.
Yes, I'm sure.
Thank you. I'll see you at the hearing.
Is that your union rep?
Yeah, he, uh, says it'll
mitigate my punishment
if I'm willing to testify
that Blue misrepresented
his intentions to me
about joining the fire department.
Hmm. I mean, he did, didn't he?
Yeah, but it wasn't until
after he discovered the lies.
My lies.
How'd your meeting with him go?
Eh, it was a bust.
Oh, he'd have made
a hell of a firefighter.
Yeah. And then he went nuclear.
Well, he did that out of hurt.
And that justifies him
lighting himself on fire
and making a fool of the 113 and of you?
No, it's just [SIGHS]
there is a certain pain
when you grow up not
knowing where you came from,
and that's something he and I share.
- And I don't?
- No, you don't.
Dad, you sound like him. You're
throwing my privilege in my face.
Ryan, you are my son. I love you.
I just want you to empathize with him.
He has always been lost
and never more than now.
Oh, have you considered
even for a second
what it means to me if this goes south?
I lose my dad and my
best friend at the fire station.
No, you haven't.
When I got struck by lightning,
who kept my heart going?
When I was in a coma, who
led this team through the storms?
I don't have to worry about
you for a damn second,
'cause I know you can handle anything.
With your brother, I'm not so sure.

Thanks.
Are you sure you don't
want me to stay with you?
Yeah, we can't both take off today.
Tell Cap I said thanks
for understanding.
I will. I'm sure he'll be very
proud of you watching over her.
Tay.
I appreciate you.
I appreciate you.
[GROANS]
[JANE DOE] Where Where am I?
Hey. You're awake.
You're in the hospital.
I remember your face.
- I'm Roxie.
- Greta.
You've been in a coma. You
were calling out in your sleep.
I was?
You're from Ethridge, aren't you?
How'd you know?
You spoke Pennsylvania Dutch.
Ethridge is the closest Amish
community in Tennessee.
Greta, did you run away?
I was on Rumspringa.
I came to Nashville, and I
saw the lights on Broadway.
I was enchanted.
Nashville has that effect.
I told my family I wasn't coming back.
But as time passed, I missed them.
I wanted to come home.
- Why didn't you?
- It was too late.
Once you turn your back
on my community, that's it.
I couldn't bear a
shunning from my parents.
Maybe they'd surprise you.
[GRETA] You don't know my culture.
I've never been so alone.
I just wanted the pain to end.
So I went somewhere beautiful.
[GRETA] I stood at the edge.
Took the pills.
Afterwards, I just wanted to fall
in and let the river wash me away.
Sorry, but we weren't
gonna let that happen.
Look, I may not know your culture,
but I know what it's like to feel alone.
My parents were pretty religious too.
I didn't feel like I could be
who I really was around them.
So, I ran away.
Where did you go?
I grew up in New York, so
parks during the days, subways at night.
- But you made it.
- Barely.
One night, some people
I was hanging out with
slipped me something in a drink.
Afterwards, they left me for dead.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
I am too. But
I woke up in a hospital.
I looked over, and I saw
my parents sitting by my bed.
They came as soon as they heard.
They took me home,
and we never looked back.
What about that part of
you that they didn't accept?
I was wrong. They
supported me with open arms.
Turns out they weren't the
ones that had been closed off.
I was.
Trust me, my parents aren't like yours.
Don't be so sure.
Oh, Greta, my kind.
[SPEAKS PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH]
Samantha here showed up
in the village with your photo.
Said you were hurt.
She drove us here, even
though she had a shift.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
We have been so worried about you.
["BABY GO BOOM" PLAYS]
So Captain Smokeshow
comes crawling back.
I thought you was gonna be a hero.
Turns out I'm better
at playing one on stage.
Look, I need money. I'll dance
whatever shifts you have open.
Dancing? Who said
anything about dancing?
What else would I do?
You can grab a mop, start
cleaning the crappers out.
Should I start in the
ladies' or the men's?
[LAUGHS] I'm just messing with you.
The look on your face.
You think I'm gonna leave a
set of abs like that on the bench?
Suit up, Cap. Your
outfit's still in there.
Appreciate it, Mick.
But you walk out on me
again, you're dead to me.
Where are my keys?
She's drunk.
They always are.
Be right back.
Where you going?
Ma'am. Ma'am.
Forget it, Blue.
Ma'am, you really shouldn't be driving.
I'm happy to call you a rideshare.
Ugh, whatever.
Blue, this is your last chance.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
[CAR DOOR SHUTS, ENGINE STARTS]
Ma'am, you've had too much to drink.
- So what? Get out of my way.

What's your location?
[BLUE] I'm headed west on Plum.
She's in a red SUV,

- It's Blue.
- Blue Bennings?
- Cammie?
It's me, hon. Listen, PD's en route.
Tell 'em to hurry before
she kills somebody.
[TIRES SQUEAL]
Guys, she's on the sidewalk.
[PEDESTRIANS SCREAMING]

- Stop the car! Stop!
I'm trying to get her to pull
over, but she won't listen.
Blue, let the police handle that.
[TIRES SQUEALING]
- [HORN HONKS]
- She just blew through a stop sign.
[HORN HONKING]
I'm gonna pull alongside her.
[HORN HONKS]
She's passed out at the wheel.

Hey. Can somebody
bump up the heat in here?
It's like an icebox. My boy's shivering.
Yeah, I'll see what I can do, but,
ma'am, you're gonna
have to put that out.
- There's no smoking in here.
- I ain't smoking.
It's a cigarette

I got polyps.

You poor baby.
[DIXIE SNIFFLES]
Hey.
- Mama.
- Oh, Blue.
Oh. Baby, how are you feeling?
My head hurts, and I'm
a little chilly, but okay.
I knew it. Let me get
you some more blankets.
- Hey, nurse.
- It's okay.
It's okay, just sit with me.
Hey. [SNIFFLES]
You know, I got a message
from that dispatcher lady, Cammie.
She told me what you
said just before the crash.
You're my mama.
[BLUE SHIVERING]
God, I am so sorry I lied
to you about your father
and kept him from you.
[CRIES] I was doing my best.
[SNIFFLES, SIGHS]
But now I see I did you
wrong. [CHUCKLES]
You did what you had to do to survive.
That mean you forgive me?
No. That one's gonna take a while.
[CHUCKLES]
But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate
that you're the only one
who's always been there for me.
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
That ain't true.
Your father paid to
support you this whole time.
He did?
Yeah.
He even got you those presents
from Santa too. [CHUCKLES]
Really?
- Yeah, really.
- [DON] Dix, I got you your grape soda.
You're awake.
I'm, uh I'ma give y'all a minute.
No, Mama, stay. It's
about time we all had a talk.
[DIXIE SIGHS]
Well, that was a crazy
stunt you pulled off today.
You still gonna tell me that
saving people isn't in your DNA?
I guess I can always
go back to lifeguarding.
How many times is life gonna have
to prove to you you're a firefighter?
Tell that to the chief.
I just did.
Based on the heroism you
so publicly displayed today,
the department's official position
is that you dropped that mannequin
just over the finish
line, not short of it.
What does that mean?
It means you passed your test.
It means you can be a fireman.
I told him you wouldn't
want to work for me,
so they're assigning you to the 110.
Wow. Thanks for having my back.
I just wish I had it sooner.
You did.
Mom told me you
supported me my whole life.
[SIGHS] Well, she did all the hard work.
But she did raise one
hell of a young man.
It's just too bad we can't get
back all that time we missed.
I'll take that regret to my grave.
So it'd be pretty dumb to
assign me to a new house.
Tell the chief I appreciate his offer.
But it's the 113 or nothing.
I think that can be arranged.
- [DIXIE SIGHS]
- In fact, I know that can be arranged.
My boys.
There's, uh, someone
else who wants to say hey.
Hey, gang, he's up.
[CLAPPING, CHEERING]
- There he is! The crazy man.
- [TAYLOR] Hey, Blue!
- Looking good, man.
- [TAYLOR] Hey, Blue.
[RYAN] You scared
the hell out of us, dude.
I'm happy to see y'all.
- [RYAN] Happy to see you too, man.
- Happy to see you.
