of it.

Best we could do considering

our response time.

Gas is pretty strong.

You'd better deploy

ventilation equipment.

Well, yes, but

without con ed

Killing electric

at the pole

We're risking an explosion.

I don't want to get my men hurt.

Nobody wants your men

to get hurt.

But somebody's got

to make a decision soon.

Okay.

Let's deploy this equipment

and air this thing out.

O'leary, get that

fan installed.

Nickerson, mcauley,

you two go in.

Let's open every window

in the place.

Man:

Get back!

Get back!

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Now, breathe easy.

Just breathe easy.

Oh, my god.

Hank, I'm so sorry.

This never

should have

happened.

The building

was empty.

We should have waited

For con ed to cut off the power.

It was a bad call.

It was the right call,

summerlin.

With all due respect

You've been sitting behind

a desk for a long time.

I admire what you're doing

for the department

But you should keep your

fire fighting to city hall.

Hey! Get those

lines over here!

Cabbie:

Is it your home?

Evie:

It belongs to the city.

The mayor lives here.

The mayor?

You know the mayor?

A little.

I'm his daughter.

No!

Well, this is very something.

I will introduce myself.

Nicholai karvoskya.

Evie lincoln.

Nice to meet you.

How long you been

in the city?

Three months.

Three long months.

Don't worry.

It only gets better.

See ya.

( horn beeping loudly )

It's about time

you got here.

Nice to see you, too.

I like this.

Well, let's say it

shows off the best

and hides the rest.

Which is most

of me by now.

Grandma...

Man:

Now here's a sight

For sore eyes.

My two favorite women

in the whole world.

Always the politician.

You're right, mom.

You're right.

Aren't mothers

Always right?

Ladies and gentlemen,

mrs. Lincoln, my mother.

( applause )

And ms. Lincoln,

my lovely daughter.

( applause )

And dinner is served.

Shall we, ladies?

Daddy.

Evie, I understand

you have an upcoming meeting

With bickerton,

craig and coleman.

How do you know

about that?

I was in law review

with bickerton.

He called me.

Daddy...

This has to be

on my own merits.

If he's looking

for city contracts...

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

Stop selling yourself

short.

Last time I looked,

you were the star

Of the public defenders'

office.

Just not sure

if I want to

work there.

Maybe... I'm not ready.

Nonsense.

Big paycheck,

big office...

You deserve

the opportunity.

Look at your

track record.

It's not just

about winning.

It's not?

Well, of course not.

That only matters

in elections.

Seriously now,

this bingham case...

It's a long shot.

I'm going to have to

win it in the closing.
