Based on what the chief said, it kind of had to happen during this. Baleman’s spot opened up and now it’s mine. We’ll survive the rest. Stuff people say never really bothers me.
Yeah. I just mean the negative attention directed at us is all. I’m glad that you’re not going to let it get to you. And you shouldn’t. It’s a big moment.

It’s finally here. My first official day as a firefighter.
Sorry it had to happen during... all of this. But congrats, Pres.

I think if you and Falco had paid a bit more attention to the red flags he was showing, we wouldn’t be in this situation. You think that sitting in a strip club night after night trying to cop a feel and get an eyeful of some girl’s perky little tits is becoming of a firefighter? The constantly hitting on lesbians, getting into public fights with women… you don’t think that was concerning at all? Maybe we shouldn’t let everyone who walks through the door have a place in this department. Some of these guys are a joke, Stone, and you know it. If Baleman hadn’t gotten himself arrested, he may have gotten someone killed because he was never cut out for this. And if you want to lie to yourself and say that he was just to make yourself feel better, go ahead. But you and I both know he never should have been here in the first place.
[ PRIVATE ]
All things he did off the clock in his personal life. Yes, there were things he did and said that were concerning, but nobody, including you, could’ve predicted that those things would leap over the line into assault. Those things on their own, even if we were monitoring and controlling every little conversation he had, aren’t grounds for expulsion. But what we’re not going to do is make our guys feel like they’re being punished for this more than they already are. We get them back into training for the focus, the team building, and the strength, not to call them shit and jokes and failures. That’s where people will get hurt. You love this place and what this job means, and it’s suffering. That’s why you’re angry. But that anger isn’t going to help them by directing it at them. You bring a good dynamic to the team by being a little more hardcore and you are a great lieutenant as well as a firefighter. But you have got to get used to the fact that these guys are with us. They’re here. They’re ours to prepare for what’s out there and to take care of. Like it or not.

There’s a lot of things I want to discuss, Stone. Starting with how the hell you and the Chief let this him unchecked for god knows how long to make a mockery of the department. You two have the papers talking about the Docks. Is this what you want?
[ PRIVATE ]
You think everyone who’s capable of assault already have records? You think they wear it on their foreheads in paint? We failed to notice the signs that no one else in this city caught either. It was an oversight. And yes, I do consider it a failure. But intentional? As if we turned to look the other way? Fine, you want something or someone to be mad at, and to feel big because you have an idea in your head that you could’ve magically done better. Great. But that’s not how it happened. And the papers will bring up dark pasts to cause the most uproar. That’s not new. Go make scary faces at Baleman through the bars if you want to confront the person responsible for tarnishing the station’s image that we can and will rebuild. Or is all that you said about the actions of one not reflecting that of the firehouse suddenly bull when it’s convenient for you?
lieutenantacosta:
Color me shocked that people don’t believe you.
Hey. This isn’t the time for that. Everyone’s already frustrated enough without the lieutenants being at each others’ throats. If there’s something you want to discuss, we’ll take it somewhere private.

I want to apologize for the… gross oversight that allowed a predator to infiltrate the fire department. The actions of one are not a reflection of the fire house. Matthew Baleman will be dealt with through the appropriate channels in the criminal justice system. The systems that allowed him to get a job with the PHFD will be examined internally. Thank you for still having faith in the majority of us.
I told them we should’ve gotten you a podium for Christmas but they still don’t believe me.
melanie-campbell:
So, there’s not really a lot you can do, is there?
We can always do our jobs. That will never and has never stopped.
noranicolai:
[ PRIVATE ]
They really put you up to this? Some seminar and pamphlet that’s going to help us… what, do better in the future? Maybe next time we’ll just read the tea leaves better, right? A seminar and a pamphlet isn’t going to fix shit, and I know this isn’t your doing, Cash, but… It’s frustrating. I’m frustrated.
[ PRIVATE ]
They’re not doing it so that we do better. They’re doing it to cover their asses. It’s standard procedure and detached and it’s doing more harm than good right now for the house. The others are taking it like a punishment, and that’s not what we need. No one here deserves that. It’s going to take some time to be able to go back to dealing with things the way we need to deal with them at this station without the public or the department standing in the way. But we’ll get there. There are good people at this station, despite what anyone says. That’s what’s going to get us out the other side.
melanie-campbell:
Well, it’s a little late now, isn’t it? Some woman’s already been attacked — you can’t undo that, can you?
No ma’am. No we can’t.
noranicolai:
[ PRIVATE ]
I’m pissed, Cash. I’m fucking pissed. We let someone in, we give him a seat at the table, we accept him into our misfit family, and it turns out that he’s a predator. And I know that we couldn’t have seen it coming, but ever since the news broke… I sit down and I ask myself all the time if there was something that I should have saw, if the writing was on the wall. If only I had noticed something sooner. If only I’d taken some of the shit he’d said more seriously. And it’s not our fault, but how do you not feel like it is? He was one of us, he was one of ours, and if we’re a collective in the good times, everyone is seeing us as a collective in the bad.
[ PRIVATE ]
Yeah. I do feel like it is. It’s not, but it hurts like it is. I get it. We all do. Absolving ourselves today has felt right in the head but not in the stomach. We’re family. We say it again and again. And we didn’t see it in time. I don’t know how to make this better for us. I just know that these feelings can’t stay in, and that we are family, Nora. And we’re in for some hurt for a while. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize the signs either. I’m sorry that it came to this when it never should have. And god, I’m sorry for the seminar and the pamphlet I’m going to hand to you after this. It’s not your fault. You know it but you need to hear it. It’s not your fault.

whitneybrady:
Um – sure. I can. Is there something you need us to talk about?
Nothing if you’d rather not, ma’am. You just seemed really sad right then. And I just got this vending machine coffee from Donny’s... but I’m not really feeling it at the moment. You’re welcome to it if you’d like. I just... got this coffee.
whitneybrady:
You knew my name already. Wow – this place really is tight knit. It’s nice to meet you, Cash.
Yeah, I...
Would you like to sit down with me for a bit?
naomireznick:
False narratives all around. I’m sure you guys will, for sure. But– Still, if there’s anything I can do.
Yeah... yeah, I hope that starts to become more obvious as things settle. Thank you, Doctor Reznick. At the moment, it’s just good knowing we’ve got friends out there who know better.
noranicolai:
Bringing up the docks… coming after Derrick… it’s exactly what you’d expect. And it makes me sick. There’s no one around here who would give up more for any of us. Matt had us fooled. He had everyone fooled. No predator walks around with “I’m a Bad Guy” tattooed on their forehead; what were we supposed to do?
[ PRIVATE ]
Hey, let’s sit down for a second, okay? We’re going to get through this like we always do. But before we get to that, if you’re up for it, tell me everything you’re feeling. No limits. No judgement. We’re safe here right now. Promise. This has always been our home and it will continue to be that way.
whitneybrady:
If it’s any consolation, I think most people know not to believe everything in the newspaper in 2021.
If someone could catch everyone up on that memo, that’d be neat.
...Miss Brady. Hi. I don’t think we’ve ever met officially before. Cash Stone.

They do it to generate buzz– Positive or negative, it gets people talking. Obviously. How are you and the house handling it? I mean– Mentally.
Yeah, the title should’ve been everyone’s first clue. ‘Firehouse 13 Under Fire’. Wankers. We’re okay. I think everyone’s just frustrated and angry. It was one thing to hear what Baleman did and then to wake up to that article... it’s rough. But we’ll pull through like always.

We used to go back and forth and I thought he was a little shithead but… never to that extent. You know how close we have to be when we’re here, even if we’re sick of each other that day. It’s just how it has to work. He tainted that.
—Seminar? What did we do that we need a seminar for? It was him.
[PRIVATE]
You couldn’t have predicted that he was capable of making the jump from banter to violence, Ana. He tainted his own image. We’ll get ours back, and what we have here between all of us won’t suffer because of him. He doesn’t deserve to have that kind of effect, you know?
We’re going to be under a lot of scrutiny. From the public and from the higher ups. This is a standard response to this kind of incident. They want to feel like they’re doing what they can to fix things up and prevent this from happening again and we’re going to go along with it.
