WOMAN 1 BUCK Good job, kid. HEN Good job. Good job. Phew! You're gonna be okay. BUCK All right, kid. Your mom is right here. WOMAN 1 Thank you. You're gonna be okay. ABBY I guess it's for the best that I usually don't know how it all ends. JUNKIE The fireman is trying to talk her down. This is so messed up. ABBY Are you friends with her? Can you talk to her? JUNKIE W-We just get high together. BOBBY Everybody who's ever tried something like this and survived says the same thing--the second they step off that ledge, they regretted it.

ALL JUNKIE N-N-No! No! No! She jumped. She jumped.

CALLER Yeah, I'm in the drive-thru and they only gave me six nuggets in my nine piece and this bitch manager won't give me my extra nugs!

Lost a decade of my life, in and out of rehab. Put on forced leave by the fire department, but I got myself back together. I've been back on the job for 18 months. PRIEST Your last confession was a week ago. Weren't you already absolved? BOBBY It helps me to confess it all once a week, to remind myself how easy it is for me to end up on the wrong path. But this week I lost one. A woman. A jumper. PRIEST It must be hard being a first responder. BOBBY The only way to survive the job is to find a way to cope with the ones you lose. PRIEST This is why you drank? BOBBY Like I said, we all find ways to cope. Some drink. Some do drugs. Some gamble. Some are sex addicts. BUCK Groovyheels297? GROOVYHEELS This is cheating.

BUCK Why don't I just punch it in its face? BOBBY You can't punch it in the face, Buck. It's a snake. It's not some guy at an El Torito happy hour! HEN Look, I have Dilaudid.

So when you choose this life, you find a way to leave everything behind you, except that 60 pounds. I don't care if you got problems with your wife, with money, with alcohol, with keeping it in your pants, all that stuff weighs you down, it slows you down, and if we lose a couple seconds, people die. So, you want to disrespect yourself, that's fine with me. You want to disrespect these women that you chase around, that's on them. But you are done disrespecting our firehouse and this fire department. BUCK No, Bobby. Bobby! I need this job! Look, I love this job. Don't do this to me. I don't have anything else. BOBBY I'm sorry, kid. I said you're done. BUCK I guess you heard. HEN Yeah. For what it's worth, everyone thinks it sucks. BUCK It's my own fault. HEN Yeah. Everyone thinks that, too.

This emergency is yours. I have dispatched the police to your exact location. I know exactly what road they're gonna go down, I know what door they're gonna walk into. And I am prepared to help you escape. PETEY Why would you do that? ABBY Because I don't care about you at all, but I care about that little girl. So you have exactly two seconds to make a decision here. You can either walk away from her and walk away from the police, or you can sit there and wait for the hellfire is about to be brought down on your head. PETEY Get the kid. LILY What? No. No. No! No! No! What're you doing?! No. No, no! ABBY Okay, walk out the back door. There's a road behind the house. PETEY Back door. DEAN What about the bike, man? PETEY Forget the bike. ABBY Do you see a wall? LILY Let me out! Please! ABBY Do you see a wall? PETEY Yeah. I see it. How can you see it? ABBY Because I have a grid of the entire neighborhood in front of me. You're gonna go over the wall. PETEY Better not be the cops on the other side. ATHENA There aren't. Just needed you out of the house. Get on the ground! Get on the ground now! DEAN Pete. PETEY You lying bitch! ATHENA Down! Down!

She's back with her mom. And you should be here. ABBY Oh, my God. I feel like I am. Wow. Um. Okay, well, I can't thank you enough. I-I I'm so grateful. You saved that little girl, and. BUCK No. You did. You kept her in the game long enough for us to find her. You're the real hero, here. ABBY Well, I appreciate you saying that. Thank you. BUCK BUCK I know what this looks like. BOBBY Looks like you took the engine out. In your street clothes. BUCK I didn't really have time to change. BOBBY Athena Grant called me, wanted to tell me what an asset you are. I told her she was half right. MICHAEL Athena. ATHENA Hey, uh, kids get home from school okay? MICHAEL Yeah. Yeah. They're inside doing their homework. Everything okay? ATHENA Yeah. Just checking in. BUCK You giving me another chance? BOBBY You've used all your chances. So have I. Because somehow, I have failed to communicate to you how lucky we are to do what we do. BUCK You're wrong, Bobby. I absolutely do get what a privilege it is to serve here. And you know what? You were right to fire me. I was a punk. Hell, I still am one. But I'm a punk who understands what he lost. Just needed you to know that. BOBBY I hope you mean that. MICHAEL So now, are we talking again now? ATHENA No. MICHAEL Do you want us to wait for you for dinner? ATHENA Yeah. Yeah BOBBY Go get dressed. BUCK I think I'm not fired. HEN Your shift's not over yet. ABBY You know, it takes a certain kind of person to swim in the pain of the world and not get wet. To run towards danger, rather than run away from it. And for those of us that choose this life, there's no place we'd rather be. ABBY 911, what's your emergency?
