- Yeah.

All right. I'll tell you what.

We're gonna go inside

and get something to drink.

You bring me a hose stretcher.

All right.

- That's mean, man.

- No, it's good for him.

- Mother's gifts.

- Okay.

- And...

- You know what? I forgot to tell you.

- I got Friday off and I'll be there.

- Good.

You know I ain't gonna

let my son down.

I know you won't.

Hey, we still got

that hot date tomorrow, right?

Oh, so now it's a hot date?

Life's too short

to have any other kind.

You're right.

- I love you, baby.

- I love you too.

- And I will see you in the morning.

- All right.

- Back home.

- All right, see you later.

Eric, what are you doing?

Wayne told me

to grab a hose stretcher.

- A hose stretcher?

- Yes, sir.

Eric, you are the hose stretcher.

Man.

Honey, I agree with you.

You gotta get out.

- He don't deserve you.

- You can say that again.

A real man's gotta be a hero to his wife

before anybody, or he ain't a real man.

Do you need a place to stay? I can't

imagine living in the same house.

No, I decided

that I'm not the one that's leaving.

- He's the problem, not me.

- That's right, girl. Stand your ground.

Make him respect you.

If there's one thing

a man understands...

It's respect. That's the issue. That's

the reason our marriage is failing.

She shows me no respect at all.

And the saddest part about it is...

He doesn't have a clue.

He thinks our marriage

has been fine for the most part.

You know, he probably thinks...

Our marriage has been fine

until this year.

Now, all of a sudden,

she goes off the deep end.

Do you think this happened

all of a sudden?

I don't know what to think.

I don't understand her.

She's emotional about everything.

She's easily offended

and way too sensitive.

I mean, he's so insensitive,

you know?

He doesn't truly care how I feel.

He doesn't listen to me.

Even if I say it over

and over and over again.

And then she starts nagging me

and saying I don't listen to her...

...or something like that.

It drives me crazy.

I feel like I'm going...

Insane.

You know,

he doesn't understand my needs.

I feel like we are

completely and totally...

Incompatible.

She's probably whining to her friends,

making me sound like a criminal.

I can see them all right now, crying,

having some sort of group hug.

It's gonna be okay, sweetie.

It's gonna be all right.

You'll get through this.

We have your back.

Whatever you need.

Whatever you need.

So you think

it's past the point of no return?

I don't have a reason to return.

- Bethany.

- Hey, Kyle. Hey, Ross.

- What's going on?

- What are y'all doing?

We're heading to the pizza barn

to meet friends.

Y'all wanna come?

Sure.

Hey, we'll race you there.

And if you win, we'll buy.

Ready, set...

Go, go, go.

Hey, Dad.

No, not really.

I think Catherine and I are done.

No, it's over.

She said she wants out.

Sure, yeah, you can come over

tomorrow. I'll be home.

Dad, I gotta go.

Public Safety

Respond to the intersection of

Roosevelt and Kelley, 10-50-I rescue.

- Time out, 12:
21.

- Hey, that's close by.

Lieutenant, you and Terrell

take the other truck and go with us.

Okay, let's roll.

Engine 1 is en route

to Roosevelt and Kelley, 10-50 rescue.

10-4, Engine 1.

Lieutenant, you and Sanders have

the Hurst tools ready if we need them.

- You stay with me when we pull up.

- Yes, sir.

We've already got a crowd.

- Can you see it?

- We've got one car on the tracks.

You're kidding me.

Oh, it doesn't look good.

Engine 1, it's 10-23.

We have a two-vehicle accident

with possible entrapment.

One of the vehicles

is on the train tracks.

Notify the train dispatcher

to stop all trains in progress.

Ten-four, Command.

Be advised, EMS is en route.

- Rookie, you come with me.

- Yes, sir. Let's go, guys.

You two go check out the car.

Let me know what you got.

I need

an inch-and-three-quarter line.

Harmon,

you check out the passenger.

All right, I need you all to stay clear

of the tracks and the vehicle.

I'm Captain Holt

from the Fire Department.

- We're here to help.

- Help me, please. I can't get out.

- Where are you hurting?

- My legs are hurting.

- Please, please help me.

- All right, we're gonna help you.

Okay. Where else are you hurting?

My neck is hurting.

Please, please help.

We're gonna get you out of here.

You're gonna be fine.

Please don't leave me.

Please don't let me die.

I promise you

I am not going to leave you.

- You're gonna be all right.

- Captain.

- She's alive but not responding.

- Get the spreaders.

Those two will be okay.

They've got minor injuries.

We have to cut these two out.

Sanders, help Harmon.

- I need you to check for gas leaks.

- Yes, sir.

We've got an ambulance coming.

- I'm gonna stay right here with you.

- Okay.

You're gonna hear

a very loud noise.

That just means

we're getting you out faster.

- All right. You're gonna be all right.

- Okay.

- Captain, did I just hear a train?

- Guys, there's a train coming.

Dispatcher,

this is Roosevelt Command.

We have a car on the train tracks.

Notify the train dispatcher

to stop all trains in progress.

Roosevelt Command, be advised...

...we are currently unable to make

contact with the train dispatcher.

No, no, no. We don't have time.

Come on, we're gonna have to push it

out of the way. Let's go, let's go.

No, I don't wanna die.

I don't wanna die.

All right, let's go. Push. Push.

Captain, it's not rolling.

We gotta drag it off.

- Get the chain.

- Hey, Wayne, hook up the chain.

Hook up the chain.

Hey, there's a train!

- Captain, we gotta pick this up.

- All right, grab the front.

Lift on three. One, two, three.

Again. One, two, three.

Again. Let's go.

We're getting this car off the tracks.

One, two, three.

Again. One, two, three.

- Again, captain.

- One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Harmon, go back

and get the spreaders.

Medic!

- You all right?

- Come on, let's go.

You'll be okay.

You're gonna be all right.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, God.

Thank you, God.

Are you okay?

Captain, I just needed a minute.

Well, I broke my record of how close

I could come to death and still live.

Well, don't break it next time.

I wasn't trying to break it this time.

Hey.

Don't tell my wife.

- Hey, lieutenant?

- Yeah?

This kind of thing doesn't happen

all the time, does it?

Risking our lives? Yes.

Playing chicken with a train?

First time.

- Aren't you afraid of dying?

- No.

Because I know where I'm going.

I just don't wanna get there

because I got hit by a train.

Why don't you come

help me work on some dinner?

All right.

Hey, captain, hold on for a second.

You know where you're going?

- I'm going to my office.

- No.

You believe in heaven and hell?

I don't know.

When I die, I'm going in the ground.

That's where I'm staying.

You know, you and Michael both seem

so sure, but one of you is wrong.

It ain't me.

How do you know?
