[CHUCKLES] What's all this?
Well, uh, Roz took the boys for a hike,

catch up.
Thank you.

No, really.
Thank you for [SIGHS]
creating some calm.

GREGORY: And every year,
I look forward to this banquet,
a chance for us to
come together and celebrate
our ever-growing numbers,
commitment, and excellence.
This group of Black firefighters
This is progress.
[APPLAUSE]
I-I wrote this speech two weeks ago,
and, uh, I stand by these words,
but let me add this
The Floyd family and all
Black people suffered a loss.
A brother was taken from us
with a cruelty that we know is there
but we try hard every day to forget.
My heart is hurting.
This is the way it is in 2020.
Why are we still
participating in a system
that seeks to do us harm?
Well, I'm gonna tell you
what my mentor, Claude Harris,
told me back then.
We do this for each other.
We stay in the department,
we rise up the ranks,
we create a fairer space.
Take pride in the fact that,
as Black firefighters,
our very existence is a revolution.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you. Enjoy your dinner.
Same tired speech. No real change.
I think the day would have
been better spent
if we were marching.
I need a drink.
I'll be back.
Just Yeah.
He hates your lawsuit.
Still.
Still.
You know, I admire him.
I-I respect the hell out of that man,

being here is enough
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Not anymore. I don't
I don't get it.
I don't I don't get him.
Sure you do.
Your lawsuit breaks every code.

Just I-let me check.
[SCOFFS] Look, that's a spermatocele.
[CHUCKLES] Look, the pipes are
just a little backed up.
It just means that we need
a little more alone time, that's all.
You need to go have that looked at.
Oh. No. I'm gonna make a call.
Come on. Just Just come back.
Look. Look, please, can we try to enjoy
this very rare moment
without kids and emergencies

Okay, look, I promise,
I'll go see somebody

Hey, everybody ♪
There's no time to lose ♪
Your speech felt a little
pointed in my direction, sir.
That's because it was, Miller.
Breaking the color barrier
was a huge victory, sir.
You forced yourself into the game
because you knew we had a right to play,
but it's 40 years later,
and now I'm on the field.
And I can't simply take your achievement
and put it on my mantle.
That's That's not enough.
Sir, it's the same as givin' up.
Son, we have to present a united front.
I mean, there are people
marching in the street right now
calling for the defunding of the police.
- We need the police.
- Not like this.
Not a militarized police force
that shows up with their guns drawn
to situations, sir,
that would be better served
by mental healthcare professionals.
Look, the point of the police
clearing a potentially
violent scene before we enter
is to make sure that a firefighter
doesn't have to get treated
instead of a patient.
I mean, you want to pull their funding?
Calls to defund
are calls to reallocate
some of the funds
to services that improve lives,
and that reallocation, sir,
will benefit the community
and the police force.
Sir?
Sorry.
Are you okay, sir?
Okay. I'll I'll I'll

Wait, what?
Call me if you need me.
Excuse me.
Okay. [SIGHS]
- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- You do know that JJ isn't here.
Or involved or has texted me back.
Yes, and we can't apologize
enough for her.
We would have come sooner,
but we just heard
about Pru's existence
when JJ blew through
Hong Kong for five minutes
on her way to that convent in India.
An ashram.
And what is she doing in an, um, ashram?
Running up our credit card bill.
We're so sorry for all
that she's put you through.

Your parents are comfortable

Have they been supportive?
Y-You know my parents?
We looked them up, and you
Not in a sinister way.
We just want to know
who Pru has in her corner.
And we may have invited
them here to meet us.
And they They said yes?
They should be here momentarily.
They should have noticed
we're missing, right?
You see how quickly
the boat disappeared?
Yeah.
That means we're drifting fast.
We're probably a mile from
our original spot by now.
So, even if they did turn around
They'd be looking in
the wrong place, yeah.
And we're drifting further
away by the second.
You should have gotten help
instead of jumping in after us!
You jumped in, too!
The man was having a heart
attack right in front of me!
Yeah, well, I-I tried to get
help, but there was no time.
I can't see anything out here.
Ooh. Oh.

We're gonna have to let him go, too.
Here. You take the life ring.
We're not letting him sink
to the bottom of the ocean
like he's a mob kill.
He wouldn't sink. He'd He'd float.
Until his lungs filled
with water, and then he'd sink.
- But that's not the point.
- We're not cutting him loose.
- He deserves better.
- Look, you heard him, okay?
He said we carry on
the fight by surviving.
Now, take the damn life ring,
and honor him by staying alive!
No!

[GULLS CRYING]
This is insane.
We're gonna die.
Well, we definitely are,
if that's your attitude.
Does it look like the odds
are in our favor right now?
No, but
Look, we have to get into
a survivor's frame of mind
if we're even gonna
stand a chance out here.
If it came down to it
would you eat me?
Why would you
It's not gonna come to that.
That wasn't a no, Ben.
We need to conserve energy.
Okay? So So t-try floating
on your back.
I can't. My
Ah! My legs keep sinking,
and it's hard to steer.
You know what? Sea otters.
Sea otters hold hands when they float,
to stay together.
Yeah, I think I'll figure it out.
- I'll figure out how to steer.
- Fine.
Alright, just just kick
your legs a little
to to stay horizontal.
[WATER LAPPING, GULLS CRYING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I don't want to die, Ben.
I can't die.
I know.
Me neither.
Are you sure you want Mrs. Warren here?
Or would you prefer to answer
some questions in private?
- No, it's it's fine.
- "Mrs. Warren" is Dr. Miranda Bailey,
Chief of Surgery at Grey Sloan
Memorial Hospital.
O-kay.
So, Dr. Warren, when's
the last time you ejaculated?
Oh. Um [SIGHS]
Yeah, um, well, you know,
my wife and I, we, um
But I've been at
the fire station for months
Ben, for God's sakes,
the man is a physician.
Um, we had intercourse to
completion several hours ago.
It was the first time in two months
since we've been quarantining
apart more than together.
So, yes, there was a lot of ejaculate.
- Oh.
- Um, but probably,
there's more to go, right?
It's a spermatocele, right?
I mean, that
That makes the most sense.
Well, let's get a few more angles.
- Ooh!
- Sorry.
Almost got it.
And we're done.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Alright, here's a towel.
Well, it's a mass,
and given your labs
showing elevated alpha-fetoprotein,
my guess is some sort of
mixed germ cell tumor.
- [GARBAGE CAN OPENS, CLOSES]
- Uh, guess?
We We need to know for sure.
As do I, which means
doing an orchiectomy
to remove the testicle,
then we'll analyze the tissue.
What?
Uh, you don't want to do a biopsy first?
Unreliable for cases like this.
You just can't scoop the whole
thing out on a whim.
Well, this is not a whim.
You made the decision in five seconds.
It feels like a whim.
Dr. Bailey, I'm a board
certified urologist.
And I'm an anesthesiologist
and a surgeon and a firefighter.
- Firefighter?
- Yes.
Well, then there's definitely
A correlation between
my job and the lump.
- Yes, I know.
- [SIGHS]
Well, I'm sorry for giving you bad news.
I hate implying the C-word as
much as you hate hearing it,
but you already knew
what I might say today,
or else you wouldn't have
driven all the way over here
across town for this secret appointment
instead of going to see your
colleagues at Grey Sloan.
W-W-What about chemo?
What if I did chemo and no surgery?
Would that work? Chemo isn't definitive.
This is the only way to go.
These tumors can metastasize quickly,
which means there's no time to lose.
[WAVES LAPPING]
They murdered him.
Who?
Chief?
George Floyd, man.
They murdered him. You saw it.
We all saw it.
He's gone.
He wasn't doing anything to anyone.
That could've been me.
The day we found Jada in that basement
and that cop slammed
my face into the ground
If that had been a bad cop,
it would've been me,
and Pru would've been alone.
But because I had
a decent cop on the scene,
I get a second chance,
and George doesn't
He doesn't get anything.
And the cops just
Everyone just watched.
I don't know.
Nobody did anything.
No one could do anything.
I mean, e-everyone who was there
that day, I-I'm sure they
They felt as powerless as
we did watching that video.
If that happened to me,
Pru would be alone.
And she could end up
in a basement like Jada,
because nobody was looking out for her
because I was taken out first.
And then what do I do
on my second chance?
Huh?!
I die in the ocean!
Okay, look, no one
is dying today, okay?!
And you're not getting taken out first.
L-Look. Look, even
even if that did happen,
you can't control what takes you out.
Look, a-all you can do
is fight as hard as you can
to stay alive
so that you can make sure
that Pru doesn't end up alone,
so so that you can be
the kind of father
who stepped up and said said, "Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna raise my kid
with no help, no plan,
just even if parenthood
is just sprung on me."
The kind of dad who
Who did get in that cop's face,
who took that risk because he knew
that that was the first step
to making the world
a better place for his kid.
Right? One where
Where she's not gonna get told
10 ways a day
that she's expendable
just because of the color of her skin.
The kind of dad who
looked at all that
That that injustice, and and says,
"Yeah, t-that may happen to me,
but I am making sure that
it never happens to you."
The kind of dad
who is still holding onto
this dead man's body,
even though it makes
this nightmare of a situation
200% harder for himself,
because it is the right thing to do.
It's reckless, Ben.
It's righteous.
You always do the right thing
and worry about the details later.
It's one of the most
maddening things about you.
[CHUCKLES]
I didn't even know Allena did takeout.
I've been trying to get a
reservation there for two years.
Oh, least we could do.
After all, we hijacked your day.
And my parents.
No. Nonsense.
It's lovely to meet you both.
So, Dean, where are we
with the lawsuit
- And the fallout?
- We?
We are footing Condola's bill.
We'd like an update.
Just so you both know,
we are behind you all 100%.
Well, we didn't ask for that.
Oh, well, you have it.
Well, we don't need it.
I imagine the fire department
isn't thrilled with you, right?
Uh, no, and the police
department isn't, either.
But if that's what it takes
to get eyes on the issues,
then I'll deal with
a few parking tickets.
My great-grandfather built the railroads
that run across this country.
His son then tried to set up a life here
with a small store,
and in success, it was burned down.
My grandparents rebuilt it,
but it was burned to the ground
three more times,
always while law enforcement
just watched.
Because we were Chinese.
Ultimately, they moved back to Hong Kong
and made their fortune there.
I say "back to,"
but they were American born and bred
just not in the eyes
of their fellow citizens.
The only reason they survived everything
was because they were a family.
They had family to lean on,
even when the very foundation
of their world was shaken.
He has a family us.
All we're trying to say
We'd like to be your family, too.
[CHUCKLES]
[WAVES GENTLY LAPPING]
I have a quarter-sized
tumor in my testicle.
- You have a what?
- Cancer.
Cancer.
When did you find out?
The day before we heard
about George Floyd.
It's a lot to process.
I'm sorry, brother.
- They do a biopsy?
- No.
No, no, they
They're gonna do a surgery
to take the entire testicle,
and then they will determine
if it's cancer
You know, which
they're pretty sure it is.
Wait, so, uh, surgery, then diagnosis?
Yeah, exactly.
- That's the same thing that
- Pruitt Herrera had.
Yeah.
- But he didn't
- Nope.
No, he did not.
♪♪
- What do we tell the boys?
- The truth.
We don't even know what the truth is.
We don't know if it's cancer.
- We don't want to wait to find out.
- I'm their father.
They look up to me, you know, for
For protection and support.
I-I-I don't want them
to see me like this.
A diagnosis doesn't make you
less of a man.
You show them
it's okay to be vulnerable.
Honestly, I don't want anyone
to see me like this right now.
You need a support system, Ben.
No, what I need is
more information, alright,
to see if it's spread.
What's the prognosis?
And the only way to get those
answers is through the orchiectomy.
Look, I'm I'm not
ready for the surgery!
Can you please just
back me up right now?
Okay.
Fine.
You want a second opinion?
'Cause I can call
Catherine Fox right now.
What? No. No, no. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[GEARSHIFT CLICKS]

I'm sorry.
You know the mortality rate
of Black men and cancer.
Yeah, I-I know, okay?
I don't need a lesson.
I'm lucky.
I have access, I have resources,
I-I-I have you forcing me
to go to the doctor.
I have every reason to fight,
but I also have every reason to I
I eat right. I exercise.
I am at the top of my game physically.
Why Why is this happening to me?
It's not just happening to you.
- Miranda, I am not in the mood.
- No, no, Benjamin.
Do not "Miranda" me,
because I am your wife,
and everything that happens
to you happens to me.
You are not in this alone.
Look, I know what it's like
to go from doctor to patient.
I-I know how you feel.
But you need to do this.
I need you to get
the orchiectomy because
it's been a hell of a year.
My mother died.
Andrew DeLuca died.
Meredith Grey just came off the vent.
And, you know, call it selfish,
but I cannot lose you!
I wouldn't be able to take that.
I wouldn't be able to function
or be a person anymore.
I
I wouldn't be able to
be there for our boys,
and I no, we

A few weeks before he died,

I was, uh
I was thinking about
giving Pru up for adoption,
and he told me he said, "Son,
I'm about to die, and all I wish for
is more time with my little girl."
Yeah, I see what you're doing.
Two cases in the same fire house
is unacceptable.
I-It's not okay. I get it.
The reason why we're called a fire house
is because we're family.
We have each others' backs.
And as family, you're being a dumb-ass
for avoiding surgery
for your ball cancer, man.
You know, it's funny
how you just said that we could
call each other out as family,

that the same thing goes for you.

We could have lived
happily ever after, Ben.
I mean, we could have lived
happily ever after,

Okay, don't say anything.

BEN: I thought that moving
around a bit might help.
But, uh
Nope. I'm still freezing.
DEAN: Yup.
Now, Ben, I'm serious.
I want you and Bailey to take Pru
if anything happens to me.
We are prepared to step up,
if we have to,
but we won't have to.
You have your village
to raise your boys,
regardless of what course
of treatment you take
and no matter what happens to you.
But me and Pru are on our own,
and our job can snuff us out
at any moment,
and Pru will be on her own.
No, Miller no, you are not
You're not on your own, man.
A-And she never will be.
My village is your village.
And she's got your parents and Hughes
and JJ's new tycoon parents.
Hey.
And she will always have me.
As in, if anything ever
did happen to you,
I give you my word,
I will dad for Pru, too.
I am literally holding onto your
arm right now. I got you.
- She has a village.
- Oh
You got a whole city.
- Okay.
- But, hey, not
Not just with Pru With all of it.
'Cause listen, you
You've been carrying around

to fix the problems that
all Black Americans face.
You're like like
you're this lone wolf
single-handedly trying to make sure
that what happened to George Floyd
and how that makes us feel
never happens to anyone ever again.
Exactly!
That's the justice that I said I wanted,

You all agreed on it.
Yeah, except it's not all on you.
Alright? Look, hey.

Joey was literally living on

If my wife hadn't taken
him home without asking me,
he'd still be back there.
But now [CHUCKLES]
Now the sky's the limit for the kid.
Would there be a big incision?
Not too bad. You know, just
Just here, along the inguinal line.
Is there a long recovery?
I mean, I can be on
my feet the next day.
Will it look weird down there?
No, I'd have an implant,
so i-it would be symmetric.
How would they control the bleeding
once they cut you with the scalpel?
Oh, a scalpel's only
for the skin incision.
And once you get down to the tissue,
then they use a tool called
a Bovie, which, it
Well, it It zaps while it cuts.
Is that called electrocautery?
There you go. [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, i-it cuts by making little burns.
That way, there isn't any bleeding.
Sounds to me like you'd have
this surgery in the bag.
If you wanted to get it done.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, yeah, alright.
You like medical stuff, don't you?
You, uh you don't get
grossed out by it at all.
You ever think about
going into medicine?
I'd never met a Black doctor
in real life
before you and Miranda.
I had seen them on TV and stuff, but
it wasn't until you guys,
and then Dr. Avery, Dr. Webber,
Dr. Pierce.

actually doing the damn thing,

It is definitely cool.
