Plot summary

An extreme fog rolls through San Antonio. Returning from a training session, Jordan, TC and Paul discover a truck crashed down an embankment. They discover the truck was transferring human trafficking victims, some of whom have been injured in the crash. They are forced to think on their feet when the fog delays helicopter rescue. Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Krista and Chavez work to save a 12-year-old girl who was caught in a flash flood, while Drew and Topher attend to the girl's older brother who dove into the water after her. While treating the boy for hypothermia, Topher is plagued by memories of an Afghani man being waterboarded, whom he couldn't save.
