Fire Country (2022) s01e04 Episode Script
Work, Don't Worry
- Previously on Fire Country
- You told Manny you were sick?
I am sick!
I don't want you getting any sicker.
Just go talk to our son so we can heal.
He's afraid you're gonna break his
heart again. Are you gonna break mine?
I'm just trying to
make Riley's death count
for something. I'm here save as
many lives as possible any way I can.
You want to grab dinner sometime?
Try me again when some guy
didn't almost die on you.
Your boyfriend?
Yeah.
- Careful with the
- Kickback?
Yeah.
I'm proud of you, babe.
For clearing the air with Eve.
About dating Riley.
Um
I mean, that'll be
much harder to do with Vince and Sharon.
I told Jake that at least
you owned up to what you did.
- What-What'd he do?
- He broke Riley's heart.
The night of the accident,
the last thing she felt
before she died was pain.
You couldn't come to us about Riley?
I had to hear it from Bode?
Look, Bode got to you before I did.
I'm sorry.
No. Sorry's not good enough.
'Cause you had years
to come and tell me.
Just help me understand why.
My family moved from military
base to base my entire childhood
That was before you came to Edgewater.
Before us, before Riley.
Right, but blowing up
relationships became easier
than having to lose people
over and over again.
I wish I could make it up to Riley now.
Yeah, well, you can't.
What's killing me, Jake, is
I spent all these years
mentoring a guy that
broke my daughter's heart.
I don't know what to do with that.
I'm too pissed off at you to do this.
All right, guys, you've
seen the female crew around.
Now you get to work with them.
- You ready for this, Liv?
- Hell yeah.
All right, listen up.
Today our crews join forces
against a major enemy of the forest.
- The bark beetle.
- The bark beetle.
We're exterminators now?
California's in a multi-year
mega-drought, which means
heat-stressed trees
can't defend themselves
against these little critters.
Nasty.
Dead trees are just matchsticks
just waiting to be lit up.
So we work in pairs to remove
the infested limbs.
One person saws, the other one swamps.
You copy? Good.
Everyone, check your tools.
Let's get to work.
So, Rebecca.
Somehow a white shoe legal
eagle became my best inmate.
And they say we don't
rehabilitate folks here.
Fire Camp's like a vacation
compared to practicing law.
Instead of arguing
with egomaniacs all day,
I get exercise, fresh air.
Hey.
You've been quiet
since your folks visited.
Your mom left brownies so it
couldn't have been that bad.
Yeah, Mom's not the problem.
Dads are tough.
Mine's impossible.
He acts like Fire Camp
is an embarrassment.
Fire Camp's our second chance.
He only sees the guy I used to be,
when I'm in here trying
to be better, you know?
It screws with my head.
I'm taking him off my visitors list.
My dad's never once visited me.
He doesn't believe
I was falsely accused.
You're in here for
something you didn't do?
You don't have to believe me.
Most folks don't.
You're still pissed at Jake?
You clean when you're mad.
So either you fired the probie whose
job this is, or you're still pissed.
Well
he did break our daughter's heart
while we were treating him like
our own son and
we didn't even know they were dating.
He had years to tell us,
and he, and he didn't.
So I don't know.
Yeah, that doesn't burn you up at all?
I'm just glad she got
to have that kind of love.
Even if it ended badly.
And I do love him like one of our own.
Mistakes and all.
Yeah, well, you're more
evolved than I am.
Yeah.
Put down your broom,
I want to show you something.
Oh, good, is it the Airstream
we've been looking for?
'Cause I'm totally ready
for that road trip.
It's a clinical trial.
Phase three, new medication, I qualify.
Yeah, but you're doing good right now.
Yes, that's why I qualify.
This trial is at the forefront of
slowing chronic kidney disease.
Okay, um
how many patients are they taking?
I'm so hopeful!
I mean, Bode's here and
I'm gonna get into this trial
and I'm gonna live to take
this road trip with you.
Why don't we just skip
to the road trip now?
You haven't finished your sweeping.
Here you go.
Eve?
- Wait!
- Hey, Aydan.
I got to unload 100 pesto crostinis.
They're totally edible,
they're just imperfect,
so it won't do for a wedding.
Aw, I love a wedding.
Now you probably think I'm fishing
to be your plus-one or something.
Oh, I'm the caterer.
I don't even get a plus-one.
You're probably wishing
you were back in San Francisco.
Big city. Lots of people. Less chance
of continually bumping
into a certain awkward woman.
Um, nah.
I was ready to leave. I got divorced.
Oh, I didn't realize. I'm sorry.
It's okay. I married my best friend.
But it turns out that's
all she was, so
I came here to start fresh
And not to pour my heart out
to the nice firefighter
who ordered coffee
and not my life story.
It's an interesting story.
And now I'm late to go cater
somebody else's happily ever after.
- Uh
- For you.
Thank you for the food.
Mm-hmm.
I heard Engine 8 has "my baby, my baby"
and 1560 had "glove and screw."
What language are you speaking?
Cal Fire.
"Glove and screw"
means we sort our screws
while wearing our gloves,
and "my baby, my baby"
It's a distraction exercise,
meant to see if a hysterical
citizen can pull your focus
from the original task at hand.
Speaking of which
Steps and positions
on the line, recruits.
So you made it through week one
of training without quitting.
Now you have the attention
of a division chief.
Eve tells me you're a real bookworm
when it comes to Cal Fire manuals.
That's nice.
I'm here to see you in action.
Pushups, now.
One.
Two. Three.
My mouth has done too much
smiling, and not enough eating.
It's your day, girl.
You should eat now
before the reception starts.
Bless. I've been on a liquid diet
trying to squeeze into this dress,
and nothing liquid tastes this good.
Well, compliment taken.
They want us to take some
photos on the sky bridge.
Something about your dress
in the atrium light, which
It's a really good dress.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
We are killing it at marriage.
- Yeah, we are.
- Mmm.
Hello?
Those crostinis were unreal.
Ah. Thank you. I am excellent.
And funny.
Did you call me to tell me that?
No. Uh,
I wanted to apologize
for being so awkward around you.
Because we're gonna keep
bumping into each other,
and this is a small town.
And, uh, honestly,
there aren't that many queer folks here,
and I'd like to be friends.
You want to be friends?
And I know you have
a ton of friends back in San Francisco.
Well, I did.
But my ex made them choose sides,
and most of them chose hers.
They dropped the
hilarious friend who can cook?
And now,
can the bridesmaids please join us
- for a toast on the sky bridge?
- Um, I have to fly in
some macerated strawberries
for the champagne toast.
I am going to call you back later.
Yeah. Okay. Uh, bye.
- 98, 99.
- Come on now. Come on.
Come on, little man.
100. All right, come on.
Pull-ups now. You're up.
Water break. I beg you.
Can I ask?
If you didn't do it,
then how'd you end up here?
I fit the description of a guy
who knocked off a jewelry
store in my neighborhood.
Didn't help that I'd been there
a couple of times before
scoping out a ring for Cookie.
Or that I had a prior.
They did a "Show Up."
Cops brought me to the scene in
handcuffs for the witness to ID.
No lineup at the station.
Just me in the store.
Who else was he gonna say did it?
Public defender said I could fight it,
but eyewitness ID is tough to beat,
and if I lost,
I get the full nine years.
I took a deal for a lesser sentence.
Freddy, I'm so sorry, man.
What really bothers me
is never being able
to say all that in court.
I heard the, uh
I heard the women's captain say
that one of her crew is a lawyer.
Rebecca. I heard that.
Maybe she could help you.
I felt like the public defender
never believed me.
There's no way she would, either.
Well, I can't change
my dad's mind about me,
but maybe Rebecca can change
a judge's mind about you.
Whoo!
Did I beat Jake's record?
Just a little healthy competition.
It's not a competition. It's a team.
Understood, Chief. I'll work on it.
What's next?
Go help that one that looks like
he's gonna throw up.
Chief's still pissed at you?
He tried to deck me
when we were sparring today.
We're assisting the urban crews.
Let's get going.
Jake, get on,
or we're leaving you behind.
Chief Dillon, what's the status?
Two sky bridges collapsed,
taking out the lobby.
Crush injuries, people trapped,
likely worse.
We're evac'ing the uninjured
and easy rescues,
but we're just getting started.
Edwards and I'll help
with the rescue and recovery,
- if that works.
- That sounds good.
Let's head in.
Jake, go make sure the power
and utilities are turned off.
Last thing we need is a gas leak
or a fire sparking down this thing.
Yeah, I'll get a probie
to get on it, sir.
I didn't ask a probie, I asked you.
I know you're not above
securing utilities, right?
No, sir.
Yeah, he's still pissed at you.
The sky bridges fell right here
in the hotel lobby.
Looking for survivors in the
debris pile, but it's unstable.
The bridges collapsed onto the sublevel,
which we're accessing
through that stairwell.
I'll take you there.
Oh, my God.
Aydan's here.
This was the wedding she was catering.
- I mean, what if she's under?
- Hey.
If she is, we'll find her.
What's the mantra?
Work, don't worry.
Greencrest, requesting additional crews.
- This is a big one.
- Copy, 1591.
Hey, Chief.
I'm deploying you to
the Zenith Skye Hotel incident.
Two sky bridges
in the hotel lobby collapsed.
Damn. What kind of fire
are we talking about?
No fire. Urban
and Cal Fire crews are helping
the civilians inside.
There's plenty
for Three Rock to do outside.
I will see you on scene.
Copy. We're yours.
Oh, you're doing that wrong.
Chief, I'm the only one
taking initiative to read up,
to practice my knots.
I've adapted to every critique
you've thrown at me,
and even then, you find
fault with what I do
It's part of the job. You're a
recruit. Don't make that personal.
You don't want to cry at work.
You don't want
that kind of attention here.
Eve was tough,
but this feels different,
like you're singling me out.
Is it because I'm the only
woman in this training?
You do not want to come at me
about being the only woman
in a firehouse.
I'm sorry.
But "Don't cry at work"?
Do you say that to the other recruits?
Okay. I am the one asking
the questions here. Follow me.
Did you read about
staffing patterns, bookworm?
A staffing pattern means
the department needs everyone on duty.
That's right,
so you're gonna carry my bag.
- Wait. Am I going with you?
- Do not be excited.
Every incident could be the worst day
in someone else's life. Hurry up.
Utilities are off, Chief.
Just getting to the alpha side
of the sublevel
to keep looking for survivors. Over.
Copy. Thanks.
All right, you're good to go, ma'am.
- Here we go.
- Okay. I got you.
Hey.
- Any progress?
- We recovered two more people, and
there's no sign of Aydan, and
she's not picking up her phone.
Okay, let's Let's scope this side.
Wait. Do you hear that?
Sounds like
- a phone vibrating.
- It's her phone.
It's only buzzing when
it's ringing on my side. Aydan?!
Right here.
Where is she?
Jake, where is she?
Quicker we work together,
the more likely we'll find her.
Help!
I can't
I can't even I can't even see my arm.
No, it's okay. Look at me. Look at me.
I'll find a medical bag.
We need to get him a tourniquet.
Call Greencrest, tell them
that I have boots on the ground.
- Uh, Greencrest?
- Dispatch. Keep up.
Chief Dillon? Get me
a staffing status report.
I want to know when we're fully loaded.
- Uh, which should I do first?
- Both.
We just enacted mass casualty protocol.
We've got about 20-odd survivors
still unaccounted for.
I can take over Incident Command
if you want
- to get back to your crew.
- Thank you.
And, uh, be aware. My guys have
been dumping the debris pile
out here. It's becoming an issue,
blocking our way in and out.
Oh, I can put Three Rock
on clearing that.
You can consider it done.
You're my favorite Leone.
Not cool.
He just said the same thing
to me earlier.
How is it inside?
Well, we're short on med bags.
Perez?! Source me a pallet of med bags
from the nearest warehouse.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I overworked my obliques at the gym.
You brought Gabriela to an
incident? She's a recruit.
Yeah. I'm teaching. I'm
guessing that you sidelined Jake
to, like, shutting off
the lights inside?
I'm delegating.
Anyway, he's back
in the thick of it now.
No room for a grudge in crisis, right?
Hustle up and listen to Captain Perez.
All right. The crews inside have
been moving debris off the collapse
pile and dumping it all outside.
We're tagging 'em out. We have to move
all that rubble to make more space.
Now they're only about halfway through.
So, today, we're all swampers.
We help by moving it all by hand.
Suck it up, fellas.
Now, the female inmates
will be doing the same thing,
and you don't see them
whining to their captain, do you?
Nope.
Here's what we're
gonna do. We're gonna form a line.
You're gonna pass the rubble down,
piece by piece, and you're gonna
line up behind me. You copy?
Copy.
Let's go!
You're feeling a lot of pressure, Nash,
but I got to keep holding onto it
until I can get you out of here, okay?
How we doing?
I can't get a radial pulse.
All right, ease up for a sec.
Jake's back with the tourniquet.
I wish.
Look, I searched everywhere, but
Chief, we're completely
out of medical bags.
Any sign of Aydan?
Vince, can you spare Eve?
We're out of paramedics in the lobby.
Copy that. Sending Eve.
Also, need a med bag ASAP.
Coming out.
I really want to get out of here.
I know, buddy. It's all right.
We're just gonna hang out for a bit,
get to know each other a little.
They're bringing out stuff
faster than we're clearing it.
We're barely making a dent.
Just keep going.
Hey, so I figured out
Rebecca did corporate defense
for some fancy Beverly Hills firm.
That's great.
I'm no corporation.
Yeah, but she does defense.
It's close enough.
Hey, Bode, hustle back to that carrier
and grab the tarp.
We need to speed this up,
move more pieces at one time, all right?
Yeah.
D.C. Leone. We located a group
of survivors on the bravo side
of the sublevel.
- That is great news.
- Yes and no.
We got one out the bride.
I'm sending her to the lobby.
15 others are still trapped
under a huge piece of sky bridge
too heavy to move manually.
Breaking it into pieces risks
a further structure compromise.
Whole thing could collapse
on the people underneath it?
D.C. Leone?
Uh, yeah, I'm thinking. We need a crane.
Didn't we just make a donation
to the high school for a new gym?
Yeah, they just broke ground.
I saw a crane there this morning.
- I'm texting the high school right now.
- Hey, Chief,
my crew's moving this debris,
but it's slow-going.
The med bag pallet just dropped.
- It's here.
- Well, go fetch it, Recruit.
The whole pallet?
It is a zoo here.
Go get me an exact location,
and then I will send more hands.
And show me some Olympian speed!
How's she doing?
I hate to be the one
to tell you this, Manny.
She's as resilient as you are.
How you liking Cal Fire?
Training, week two.
One minute, I'm trying knots, and the
next, your mom's taking
me on a ride-along.
- She must really like you.
- Doesn't feel like it.
Cal Fire means a lot to my family.
That's why she goes hard
on recruits. Tough love.
Still waiting on the "love" part.
Just be happy you have her
and not my dad, trust me.
Hang in there.
Thanks.
This really seems like a lot of blood.
- I'm-I'm feeling dizzy.
- Hey.
Who cried first? Bride or the groom?
Wha-What?
Oh, you know, uh,
during the vows Who cried first?
I-I didn't see the vows.
I'm in the the wedding band.
I-I play bass.
So
what kind of music
does your band really play?
Alt alt country.
Our, uh our side hustle is top for
- Is
- Right here.
Our side hustle is to-top 40
covers at weddings.
Wish I had bailed on this one today.
What's the status on that med bag?
Thank you. All right. Here.
Lean on me. Lean on me.
All right, let's get you
over here where it's safe
so I can take a look at your leg.
Have you seen my husband?
He was holding my hand,
and then we fell, and I lost him.
I haven't. I'm sorry,
but I have some good news.
I don't think your ankle
is broken, just a bad sprain.
We're out of bandages,
so I'm gonna use your veil
to wrap your ankle. Is that okay?
This is supposed to be
the happiest day of my life.
Where is he?!
I can't I can't feel my fingers.
Should we move the beam
without the med bag?
Think we're gonna have to.
I got your med bag.
All right.
Let's get that tourniquet on. Let's go!
All right.
I can't leave.
What if Kai's not okay?
What if he's still in there,
trapped under all of that?
What if he's gone?
It's really scary living
in the unknown, but, ma'am,
as soon I get you out
to the triage tent,
I can come back in and look for him.
No, no, no. It's my wedding!
I can't leave without him.
Okay, what if he's hurt? Or what if?
Hey, hey. I know exactly how you feel.
Your wedding caterer is my friend.
And I haven't found her, either.
- Aydan?
- Yeah.
- She's amazing.
- She is.
Tourniquet's secure.
All right, Nash. We got you.
Take a deep breath.
Ready? On my count. Three.
But we have to be brave
together, you and I.
I got you.
Two.
Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop!
One.
Take him to triage.
Stop! That's unstable.
All right, we're clear.
No one else here.
Chief, do you hear that?
Look out!
Chief? You out there?
Chief?!
Chief?
Vince?!
Jake? You can you
hear me? I'm in one piece.
Yeah. Yeah. Keep talking. I'm
I'm following your voice.
I got lucky, sort of.
All that rubble we moved away
from the bass player
created a small void hole.
I'm in it.
- But I would very much like to get out.
- Okay.
All right, yeah. I see you.
Hang tight.
Eve, please tell me you're free.
Negative. I'm trying
to access the 15 people trapped
under debris in the bravo side.
All right.
That's good.
Hey, Rebecca, I'm Bode.
Uh, you know, I'm sorry.
I know we're super busy.
I just didn't want to miss
the chance to talk to you.
Oh, yeah? Is it
this very fashionable jumpsuit
that caught your eye or?
Who's wearing it best?
Me, obviously.
I won't argue with a lawyer.
You know what I do?
Yeah, that's, um
that's actually what I want
to talk to you about.
Look, my, uh, my boy Freddy
He was falsely accused, and,
well, now he's in here,
and even his own
his own dad won't come
visit him, and so I was
wondering if maybe you could
look look at his case?
You know, I got
inmates banging down my door
for legal advice.
You're asking for your friend,
not for you?
Yeah. I mean, Freddy's the one
who took a bad plea deal.
Yeah, uh, I'll take a look at his case.
Thank you.
I'll see you around?
I hope so.
Manny, that crane is seven minutes out.
How much longer till we have
the space to set it up?
About 20 minutes, Chief.
We have 15 trapped people
whose lives depend on that.
We'll pick up the pace.
D.C. Leone, the last piece
of sky bridge that just fell
It crashed onto the sublevel.
Chief's under it. He's also trapped now.
Vince? What's his status?
No, he's okay. He's fine.
I'm here with him.
My dad's trapped.
Your mom's Superwoman.
She'll figure it out, right?
All right, look, you give me that crane,
I'll get him out of here.
The one crane has
to do double the duty now.
What if it's not fast enough? Then
Hey, you know what Dad would say.
"Work, don't worry." Right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
Hey, I heard one of the firefighters say
the hotel has a broken
forklift in the delivery area.
Yeah?
You used to hot-wire cars, right?
Think you can fix it?
Maybe with an assist.
Let's go.
Come on. Damn it!
Chief, I can't get a purchase point.
Jake, stop!
It's too heavy, and you know it.
Hurting yourself's not gonna help.
I'm sorry. I
I am trying. I'm
Just calm down and wait for the crane.
A little concrete is no match
for my wife.
We've both seen that woman
move mountains.
Uh, Jake?
We got another problem.
Try to start it up. See what happens.
All right.
It starts, but I can't put it in gear.
You open this thing up
and see what's going on?
"Work, don't worry." I like that, man.
It drove me crazy as a kid.
I'd be worrying about some
massive test I had coming up,
and I just wanted to whine about it,
but my dad was always right.
Annoyingly, it helps.
Well, that's one thing
you guys both agree on.
And now here you are making room for
the crane that's gonna save his life.
I don't want to see him,
but I don't want him
to die in some hole, either.
Yeah, I got you.
This cotter pin's missing.
The damn thing's not gonna shift
without the cotter pin.
Hey, what about the prong
in your belt buckle?
That just might work.
Let's see.
Yeah, baby. Yeah!
All right, hold on.
We got it from here, Chief.
Chief Dillon, the crane is landing.
We're going to punch the boom
through the glass
and drop it inside to you. Stand by!
Which segment do we move first?
The one with 15 trapped, or Chief Leone?
Say again.
Which segment do we move first?
The one with 15 trapped, or Chief Leone?
It's your call, Chief.
The 15 first.
They've been trapped longer,
and there's more of them.
I'm sorry, Vince.
Jake, you will get the crane second.
You do whatever it takes to keep
my husband alive a little longer.
Copy.
Hear that, Chief?
The crane's gonna free the 15,
then it's all ours.
Where's the water at now?
It's at my neck.
God, I'm so, so sorry.
I'm sorry I kept Riley
a secret all those years.
I'm sorry I can't help you now.
Hey, stop! Shut up!
Stop talking like you're not
gonna get me out of here,
that you're gonna let me die in a hole.
It's not happening.
I trained you to be smart,
resourceful, trained you to be
the best. Start acting like it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Work, don't worry, Jake.
You can figure this out.
Work, don't worry.
Work.
Don't worry. Work. Work.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah, I think I found something.
Hang tight.
Okay. Okay.
Here.
Chief, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Breathe through this!
We cleared a path for the 15.
We're sending the crane over.
Copy. Standing by the position.
Chief, do you hear that?
The boom of the crane is moving
this way. Come on, hang on.
Let's go. We're all set!
Copy. We're pulling it now.
Keep clear, guys.
Clear out, guys, it's gonna drop!
Chief.
Come on, Chief.
I'm right here. Nice. There we go.
There you go.
Thank you.
They'll triage you over there, sir.
I got you, sir.
All right, here I am.
Right here. There you go.
Take my hand. There you go.
There you go.
Nice.
Aydan. Are you okay?
Eve?
Yeah Yeah, I think so.
I don't know. You tell me.
Well, I think you're in one piece.
Okay.
This paramedic's gonna
get you checked out,
- get you some oxygen, all right?
- Okay.
This way. Come on.
Uh uh, wait.
When I was looking for you,
I found your phone.
Let me know
when you get home safe, okay?
Thank you for looking for me.
That's my job.
I got to get back.
Emma?! Emma?!
Kai?!
- Are you hurt?
- No.
I've never been so happy
to see anyone in my life.
I love you.
I love you, too.
- Mmm.
- Mmm. Oh.
Hey, how's he doing?
Not sure yet.
The last things
I said to him were pretty awful.
- What if he?
- No, don't go there yet.
Ah!
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Thanks for not dying on me.
You know I do what I can.
Bode and Manny's crew, they
They made space for the crane.
He's trying. It's just
not when you're looking.
Thank you.
Told you you could do it.
I'm glad you're okay.
Bode?
Back to the buggy!
Let's go home.
Hey, how's Vince doing?
Oh, he's taking it easy. Um
Ooh! But now with these onion rings,
his recovery's gonna go so much faster.
Here you go.
I am sorry
for challenging you on singling me out.
Bode told me that you taking me
on a ride-along was a good thing.
Oh, you've been talking to Bode?
Mm. For a minute today, yeah.
Questioning me was really ballsy.
I'm a straight shooter, and
Which is a real asset as a firefighter.
I was not hazing you today.
I was testing you.
See if you really wanted this,
or you're just trying
to piss off your father.
What does my dad have to do with this?
Wait, wait.
Did-did my dad ask you to haze me?
Your father's just worried about you,
which I get, as a parent.
And I owe him one.
He's really taken Bode under his wing.
Yeah.
I've watched him dedicate
his life to Cal Fire,
but I never realized how much
Cal Fire was giving back to him
until I got my hands dirty.
I want this.
I won't back down.
I see that now.
You asked Chief Leone to haze me?
You don't like the pressure,
you don't belong anywhere
near a fire station, mija.
Oh, no, I can handle pressure.
What I can't handle is your
paternalistic meddling behind my back.
Can you please lower your voice?
People can hear you.
I told you I don't want you doing this.
And I heard you.
It's just not up for debate.
And you took Bode under your wing?
You could take someone else's kid
and train them, but not your own.
Oh, come on, this is different.
It's hypocritical.
Gabriela. Gabriela.
- Sit down. Let's talk about this.
- Why?
Why? It doesn't seem like
anything I say matters.
You should be resting.
I wanted to come thank you.
You could've done that over the phone.
Um
Look, I
When I was trapped today
In between being terrified
I had some time to think, and
I would love it if you
would ask me out again.
I think this near-death rom-com fantasy
might be a trauma response.
It happens a lot when we rescue people.
This lady Jake saved
wanted him to move to Paris.
No. Turning you down
the first time was a mistake.
It's not because you rescued me.
It's 'cause you're funny.
And kind.
And, um really hot in this uniform.
And that awkward feeling
that you get when you see me?
- That's a crush.
- Mm.
And I would know
because I have one, too.
Bode
You have a call.
Thanks.
Hello?
I came to Smokey's
to pick up food for me and Jake,
and I talked to your mom
about today and I got into a fight
with my dad and I stormed out
without the food.
So, what do I do?
Go back in for the food?
No.
I mean about my dad.
He asked your mom to haze me
so that I'd quit.
That's why she was extra hard on me.
Oh, man.
Yeah. I want to kill him.
I know the feeling.
Your mom says your dad
checked out okay, by the way.
I figured you'd want to know.
If you had asked me this morning,
I would have said I didn't care
how he turned out.
But
I got my bluff called on that one today.
He's your dad.
Of course you care.
Hmm.
The problem is,
to him, I'm still the person
that killed his favorite kid
and ruined his life.
And what about your life?
He lost a daughter,
but you lost a sister.
Yeah, but
it was my fault.
What if you stopped caring
about what your dad thinks?
What if you started
believing in yourself instead?
Sounds like you need
to take that advice, too.
I will if you do.
It's not that easy, is it?
You should, uh
You should probably get that,
that food home now.
Hangry Jake ain't pretty.
You're right about that.
I'm glad I called.
I feel better.
Good.
Me too.
Okay, my love.
Yes.
Totally worth having
a building fall on me for these.
How's our favorite player doing?
About to park this next pitch
in the bay, I hope.
I'm so glad you're still alive.
Yeah, me too. Thanks for that.
Don't just thank me.
You got to thank Manny
and his whole team.
I'll put some money in Bode's account.
And next time I visit,
I will listen more and talk less.
You just earned yourself
a beer for that one.
Hey, Shar, you know,
I don't know why we're waiting around
for a deal on that Airstream.
Why don't we just splurge for it now?
Trick it out.
Get the best sound system money can buy.
Shar?
- You told Manny you were sick?
I am sick!
I don't want you getting any sicker.
Just go talk to our son so we can heal.
He's afraid you're gonna break his
heart again. Are you gonna break mine?
I'm just trying to
make Riley's death count
for something. I'm here save as
many lives as possible any way I can.
You want to grab dinner sometime?
Try me again when some guy
didn't almost die on you.
Your boyfriend?
Yeah.
- Careful with the
- Kickback?
Yeah.
I'm proud of you, babe.
For clearing the air with Eve.
About dating Riley.
Um
I mean, that'll be
much harder to do with Vince and Sharon.
I told Jake that at least
you owned up to what you did.
- What-What'd he do?
- He broke Riley's heart.
The night of the accident,
the last thing she felt
before she died was pain.
You couldn't come to us about Riley?
I had to hear it from Bode?
Look, Bode got to you before I did.
I'm sorry.
No. Sorry's not good enough.
'Cause you had years
to come and tell me.
Just help me understand why.
My family moved from military
base to base my entire childhood
That was before you came to Edgewater.
Before us, before Riley.
Right, but blowing up
relationships became easier
than having to lose people
over and over again.
I wish I could make it up to Riley now.
Yeah, well, you can't.
What's killing me, Jake, is
I spent all these years
mentoring a guy that
broke my daughter's heart.
I don't know what to do with that.
I'm too pissed off at you to do this.
All right, guys, you've
seen the female crew around.
Now you get to work with them.
- You ready for this, Liv?
- Hell yeah.
All right, listen up.
Today our crews join forces
against a major enemy of the forest.
- The bark beetle.
- The bark beetle.
We're exterminators now?
California's in a multi-year
mega-drought, which means
heat-stressed trees
can't defend themselves
against these little critters.
Nasty.
Dead trees are just matchsticks
just waiting to be lit up.
So we work in pairs to remove
the infested limbs.
One person saws, the other one swamps.
You copy? Good.
Everyone, check your tools.
Let's get to work.
So, Rebecca.
Somehow a white shoe legal
eagle became my best inmate.
And they say we don't
rehabilitate folks here.
Fire Camp's like a vacation
compared to practicing law.
Instead of arguing
with egomaniacs all day,
I get exercise, fresh air.
Hey.
You've been quiet
since your folks visited.
Your mom left brownies so it
couldn't have been that bad.
Yeah, Mom's not the problem.
Dads are tough.
Mine's impossible.
He acts like Fire Camp
is an embarrassment.
Fire Camp's our second chance.
He only sees the guy I used to be,
when I'm in here trying
to be better, you know?
It screws with my head.
I'm taking him off my visitors list.
My dad's never once visited me.
He doesn't believe
I was falsely accused.
You're in here for
something you didn't do?
You don't have to believe me.
Most folks don't.
You're still pissed at Jake?
You clean when you're mad.
So either you fired the probie whose
job this is, or you're still pissed.
Well
he did break our daughter's heart
while we were treating him like
our own son and
we didn't even know they were dating.
He had years to tell us,
and he, and he didn't.
So I don't know.
Yeah, that doesn't burn you up at all?
I'm just glad she got
to have that kind of love.
Even if it ended badly.
And I do love him like one of our own.
Mistakes and all.
Yeah, well, you're more
evolved than I am.
Yeah.
Put down your broom,
I want to show you something.
Oh, good, is it the Airstream
we've been looking for?
'Cause I'm totally ready
for that road trip.
It's a clinical trial.
Phase three, new medication, I qualify.
Yeah, but you're doing good right now.
Yes, that's why I qualify.
This trial is at the forefront of
slowing chronic kidney disease.
Okay, um
how many patients are they taking?
I'm so hopeful!
I mean, Bode's here and
I'm gonna get into this trial
and I'm gonna live to take
this road trip with you.
Why don't we just skip
to the road trip now?
You haven't finished your sweeping.
Here you go.
Eve?
- Wait!
- Hey, Aydan.
I got to unload 100 pesto crostinis.
They're totally edible,
they're just imperfect,
so it won't do for a wedding.
Aw, I love a wedding.
Now you probably think I'm fishing
to be your plus-one or something.
Oh, I'm the caterer.
I don't even get a plus-one.
You're probably wishing
you were back in San Francisco.
Big city. Lots of people. Less chance
of continually bumping
into a certain awkward woman.
Um, nah.
I was ready to leave. I got divorced.
Oh, I didn't realize. I'm sorry.
It's okay. I married my best friend.
But it turns out that's
all she was, so
I came here to start fresh
And not to pour my heart out
to the nice firefighter
who ordered coffee
and not my life story.
It's an interesting story.
And now I'm late to go cater
somebody else's happily ever after.
- Uh
- For you.
Thank you for the food.
Mm-hmm.
I heard Engine 8 has "my baby, my baby"
and 1560 had "glove and screw."
What language are you speaking?
Cal Fire.
"Glove and screw"
means we sort our screws
while wearing our gloves,
and "my baby, my baby"
It's a distraction exercise,
meant to see if a hysterical
citizen can pull your focus
from the original task at hand.
Speaking of which
Steps and positions
on the line, recruits.
So you made it through week one
of training without quitting.
Now you have the attention
of a division chief.
Eve tells me you're a real bookworm
when it comes to Cal Fire manuals.
That's nice.
I'm here to see you in action.
Pushups, now.
One.
Two. Three.
My mouth has done too much
smiling, and not enough eating.
It's your day, girl.
You should eat now
before the reception starts.
Bless. I've been on a liquid diet
trying to squeeze into this dress,
and nothing liquid tastes this good.
Well, compliment taken.
They want us to take some
photos on the sky bridge.
Something about your dress
in the atrium light, which
It's a really good dress.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
We are killing it at marriage.
- Yeah, we are.
- Mmm.
Hello?
Those crostinis were unreal.
Ah. Thank you. I am excellent.
And funny.
Did you call me to tell me that?
No. Uh,
I wanted to apologize
for being so awkward around you.
Because we're gonna keep
bumping into each other,
and this is a small town.
And, uh, honestly,
there aren't that many queer folks here,
and I'd like to be friends.
You want to be friends?
And I know you have
a ton of friends back in San Francisco.
Well, I did.
But my ex made them choose sides,
and most of them chose hers.
They dropped the
hilarious friend who can cook?
And now,
can the bridesmaids please join us
- for a toast on the sky bridge?
- Um, I have to fly in
some macerated strawberries
for the champagne toast.
I am going to call you back later.
Yeah. Okay. Uh, bye.
- 98, 99.
- Come on now. Come on.
Come on, little man.
100. All right, come on.
Pull-ups now. You're up.
Water break. I beg you.
Can I ask?
If you didn't do it,
then how'd you end up here?
I fit the description of a guy
who knocked off a jewelry
store in my neighborhood.
Didn't help that I'd been there
a couple of times before
scoping out a ring for Cookie.
Or that I had a prior.
They did a "Show Up."
Cops brought me to the scene in
handcuffs for the witness to ID.
No lineup at the station.
Just me in the store.
Who else was he gonna say did it?
Public defender said I could fight it,
but eyewitness ID is tough to beat,
and if I lost,
I get the full nine years.
I took a deal for a lesser sentence.
Freddy, I'm so sorry, man.
What really bothers me
is never being able
to say all that in court.
I heard the, uh
I heard the women's captain say
that one of her crew is a lawyer.
Rebecca. I heard that.
Maybe she could help you.
I felt like the public defender
never believed me.
There's no way she would, either.
Well, I can't change
my dad's mind about me,
but maybe Rebecca can change
a judge's mind about you.
Whoo!
Did I beat Jake's record?
Just a little healthy competition.
It's not a competition. It's a team.
Understood, Chief. I'll work on it.
What's next?
Go help that one that looks like
he's gonna throw up.
Chief's still pissed at you?
He tried to deck me
when we were sparring today.
We're assisting the urban crews.
Let's get going.
Jake, get on,
or we're leaving you behind.
Chief Dillon, what's the status?
Two sky bridges collapsed,
taking out the lobby.
Crush injuries, people trapped,
likely worse.
We're evac'ing the uninjured
and easy rescues,
but we're just getting started.
Edwards and I'll help
with the rescue and recovery,
- if that works.
- That sounds good.
Let's head in.
Jake, go make sure the power
and utilities are turned off.
Last thing we need is a gas leak
or a fire sparking down this thing.
Yeah, I'll get a probie
to get on it, sir.
I didn't ask a probie, I asked you.
I know you're not above
securing utilities, right?
No, sir.
Yeah, he's still pissed at you.
The sky bridges fell right here
in the hotel lobby.
Looking for survivors in the
debris pile, but it's unstable.
The bridges collapsed onto the sublevel,
which we're accessing
through that stairwell.
I'll take you there.
Oh, my God.
Aydan's here.
This was the wedding she was catering.
- I mean, what if she's under?
- Hey.
If she is, we'll find her.
What's the mantra?
Work, don't worry.
Greencrest, requesting additional crews.
- This is a big one.
- Copy, 1591.
Hey, Chief.
I'm deploying you to
the Zenith Skye Hotel incident.
Two sky bridges
in the hotel lobby collapsed.
Damn. What kind of fire
are we talking about?
No fire. Urban
and Cal Fire crews are helping
the civilians inside.
There's plenty
for Three Rock to do outside.
I will see you on scene.
Copy. We're yours.
Oh, you're doing that wrong.
Chief, I'm the only one
taking initiative to read up,
to practice my knots.
I've adapted to every critique
you've thrown at me,
and even then, you find
fault with what I do
It's part of the job. You're a
recruit. Don't make that personal.
You don't want to cry at work.
You don't want
that kind of attention here.
Eve was tough,
but this feels different,
like you're singling me out.
Is it because I'm the only
woman in this training?
You do not want to come at me
about being the only woman
in a firehouse.
I'm sorry.
But "Don't cry at work"?
Do you say that to the other recruits?
Okay. I am the one asking
the questions here. Follow me.
Did you read about
staffing patterns, bookworm?
A staffing pattern means
the department needs everyone on duty.
That's right,
so you're gonna carry my bag.
- Wait. Am I going with you?
- Do not be excited.
Every incident could be the worst day
in someone else's life. Hurry up.
Utilities are off, Chief.
Just getting to the alpha side
of the sublevel
to keep looking for survivors. Over.
Copy. Thanks.
All right, you're good to go, ma'am.
- Here we go.
- Okay. I got you.
Hey.
- Any progress?
- We recovered two more people, and
there's no sign of Aydan, and
she's not picking up her phone.
Okay, let's Let's scope this side.
Wait. Do you hear that?
Sounds like
- a phone vibrating.
- It's her phone.
It's only buzzing when
it's ringing on my side. Aydan?!
Right here.
Where is she?
Jake, where is she?
Quicker we work together,
the more likely we'll find her.
Help!
I can't
I can't even I can't even see my arm.
No, it's okay. Look at me. Look at me.
I'll find a medical bag.
We need to get him a tourniquet.
Call Greencrest, tell them
that I have boots on the ground.
- Uh, Greencrest?
- Dispatch. Keep up.
Chief Dillon? Get me
a staffing status report.
I want to know when we're fully loaded.
- Uh, which should I do first?
- Both.
We just enacted mass casualty protocol.
We've got about 20-odd survivors
still unaccounted for.
I can take over Incident Command
if you want
- to get back to your crew.
- Thank you.
And, uh, be aware. My guys have
been dumping the debris pile
out here. It's becoming an issue,
blocking our way in and out.
Oh, I can put Three Rock
on clearing that.
You can consider it done.
You're my favorite Leone.
Not cool.
He just said the same thing
to me earlier.
How is it inside?
Well, we're short on med bags.
Perez?! Source me a pallet of med bags
from the nearest warehouse.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I overworked my obliques at the gym.
You brought Gabriela to an
incident? She's a recruit.
Yeah. I'm teaching. I'm
guessing that you sidelined Jake
to, like, shutting off
the lights inside?
I'm delegating.
Anyway, he's back
in the thick of it now.
No room for a grudge in crisis, right?
Hustle up and listen to Captain Perez.
All right. The crews inside have
been moving debris off the collapse
pile and dumping it all outside.
We're tagging 'em out. We have to move
all that rubble to make more space.
Now they're only about halfway through.
So, today, we're all swampers.
We help by moving it all by hand.
Suck it up, fellas.
Now, the female inmates
will be doing the same thing,
and you don't see them
whining to their captain, do you?
Nope.
Here's what we're
gonna do. We're gonna form a line.
You're gonna pass the rubble down,
piece by piece, and you're gonna
line up behind me. You copy?
Copy.
Let's go!
You're feeling a lot of pressure, Nash,
but I got to keep holding onto it
until I can get you out of here, okay?
How we doing?
I can't get a radial pulse.
All right, ease up for a sec.
Jake's back with the tourniquet.
I wish.
Look, I searched everywhere, but
Chief, we're completely
out of medical bags.
Any sign of Aydan?
Vince, can you spare Eve?
We're out of paramedics in the lobby.
Copy that. Sending Eve.
Also, need a med bag ASAP.
Coming out.
I really want to get out of here.
I know, buddy. It's all right.
We're just gonna hang out for a bit,
get to know each other a little.
They're bringing out stuff
faster than we're clearing it.
We're barely making a dent.
Just keep going.
Hey, so I figured out
Rebecca did corporate defense
for some fancy Beverly Hills firm.
That's great.
I'm no corporation.
Yeah, but she does defense.
It's close enough.
Hey, Bode, hustle back to that carrier
and grab the tarp.
We need to speed this up,
move more pieces at one time, all right?
Yeah.
D.C. Leone. We located a group
of survivors on the bravo side
of the sublevel.
- That is great news.
- Yes and no.
We got one out the bride.
I'm sending her to the lobby.
15 others are still trapped
under a huge piece of sky bridge
too heavy to move manually.
Breaking it into pieces risks
a further structure compromise.
Whole thing could collapse
on the people underneath it?
D.C. Leone?
Uh, yeah, I'm thinking. We need a crane.
Didn't we just make a donation
to the high school for a new gym?
Yeah, they just broke ground.
I saw a crane there this morning.
- I'm texting the high school right now.
- Hey, Chief,
my crew's moving this debris,
but it's slow-going.
The med bag pallet just dropped.
- It's here.
- Well, go fetch it, Recruit.
The whole pallet?
It is a zoo here.
Go get me an exact location,
and then I will send more hands.
And show me some Olympian speed!
How's she doing?
I hate to be the one
to tell you this, Manny.
She's as resilient as you are.
How you liking Cal Fire?
Training, week two.
One minute, I'm trying knots, and the
next, your mom's taking
me on a ride-along.
- She must really like you.
- Doesn't feel like it.
Cal Fire means a lot to my family.
That's why she goes hard
on recruits. Tough love.
Still waiting on the "love" part.
Just be happy you have her
and not my dad, trust me.
Hang in there.
Thanks.
This really seems like a lot of blood.
- I'm-I'm feeling dizzy.
- Hey.
Who cried first? Bride or the groom?
Wha-What?
Oh, you know, uh,
during the vows Who cried first?
I-I didn't see the vows.
I'm in the the wedding band.
I-I play bass.
So
what kind of music
does your band really play?
Alt alt country.
Our, uh our side hustle is top for
- Is
- Right here.
Our side hustle is to-top 40
covers at weddings.
Wish I had bailed on this one today.
What's the status on that med bag?
Thank you. All right. Here.
Lean on me. Lean on me.
All right, let's get you
over here where it's safe
so I can take a look at your leg.
Have you seen my husband?
He was holding my hand,
and then we fell, and I lost him.
I haven't. I'm sorry,
but I have some good news.
I don't think your ankle
is broken, just a bad sprain.
We're out of bandages,
so I'm gonna use your veil
to wrap your ankle. Is that okay?
This is supposed to be
the happiest day of my life.
Where is he?!
I can't I can't feel my fingers.
Should we move the beam
without the med bag?
Think we're gonna have to.
I got your med bag.
All right.
Let's get that tourniquet on. Let's go!
All right.
I can't leave.
What if Kai's not okay?
What if he's still in there,
trapped under all of that?
What if he's gone?
It's really scary living
in the unknown, but, ma'am,
as soon I get you out
to the triage tent,
I can come back in and look for him.
No, no, no. It's my wedding!
I can't leave without him.
Okay, what if he's hurt? Or what if?
Hey, hey. I know exactly how you feel.
Your wedding caterer is my friend.
And I haven't found her, either.
- Aydan?
- Yeah.
- She's amazing.
- She is.
Tourniquet's secure.
All right, Nash. We got you.
Take a deep breath.
Ready? On my count. Three.
But we have to be brave
together, you and I.
I got you.
Two.
Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop!
One.
Take him to triage.
Stop! That's unstable.
All right, we're clear.
No one else here.
Chief, do you hear that?
Look out!
Chief? You out there?
Chief?!
Chief?
Vince?!
Jake? You can you
hear me? I'm in one piece.
Yeah. Yeah. Keep talking. I'm
I'm following your voice.
I got lucky, sort of.
All that rubble we moved away
from the bass player
created a small void hole.
I'm in it.
- But I would very much like to get out.
- Okay.
All right, yeah. I see you.
Hang tight.
Eve, please tell me you're free.
Negative. I'm trying
to access the 15 people trapped
under debris in the bravo side.
All right.
That's good.
Hey, Rebecca, I'm Bode.
Uh, you know, I'm sorry.
I know we're super busy.
I just didn't want to miss
the chance to talk to you.
Oh, yeah? Is it
this very fashionable jumpsuit
that caught your eye or?
Who's wearing it best?
Me, obviously.
I won't argue with a lawyer.
You know what I do?
Yeah, that's, um
that's actually what I want
to talk to you about.
Look, my, uh, my boy Freddy
He was falsely accused, and,
well, now he's in here,
and even his own
his own dad won't come
visit him, and so I was
wondering if maybe you could
look look at his case?
You know, I got
inmates banging down my door
for legal advice.
You're asking for your friend,
not for you?
Yeah. I mean, Freddy's the one
who took a bad plea deal.
Yeah, uh, I'll take a look at his case.
Thank you.
I'll see you around?
I hope so.
Manny, that crane is seven minutes out.
How much longer till we have
the space to set it up?
About 20 minutes, Chief.
We have 15 trapped people
whose lives depend on that.
We'll pick up the pace.
D.C. Leone, the last piece
of sky bridge that just fell
It crashed onto the sublevel.
Chief's under it. He's also trapped now.
Vince? What's his status?
No, he's okay. He's fine.
I'm here with him.
My dad's trapped.
Your mom's Superwoman.
She'll figure it out, right?
All right, look, you give me that crane,
I'll get him out of here.
The one crane has
to do double the duty now.
What if it's not fast enough? Then
Hey, you know what Dad would say.
"Work, don't worry." Right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
Hey, I heard one of the firefighters say
the hotel has a broken
forklift in the delivery area.
Yeah?
You used to hot-wire cars, right?
Think you can fix it?
Maybe with an assist.
Let's go.
Come on. Damn it!
Chief, I can't get a purchase point.
Jake, stop!
It's too heavy, and you know it.
Hurting yourself's not gonna help.
I'm sorry. I
I am trying. I'm
Just calm down and wait for the crane.
A little concrete is no match
for my wife.
We've both seen that woman
move mountains.
Uh, Jake?
We got another problem.
Try to start it up. See what happens.
All right.
It starts, but I can't put it in gear.
You open this thing up
and see what's going on?
"Work, don't worry." I like that, man.
It drove me crazy as a kid.
I'd be worrying about some
massive test I had coming up,
and I just wanted to whine about it,
but my dad was always right.
Annoyingly, it helps.
Well, that's one thing
you guys both agree on.
And now here you are making room for
the crane that's gonna save his life.
I don't want to see him,
but I don't want him
to die in some hole, either.
Yeah, I got you.
This cotter pin's missing.
The damn thing's not gonna shift
without the cotter pin.
Hey, what about the prong
in your belt buckle?
That just might work.
Let's see.
Yeah, baby. Yeah!
All right, hold on.
We got it from here, Chief.
Chief Dillon, the crane is landing.
We're going to punch the boom
through the glass
and drop it inside to you. Stand by!
Which segment do we move first?
The one with 15 trapped, or Chief Leone?
Say again.
Which segment do we move first?
The one with 15 trapped, or Chief Leone?
It's your call, Chief.
The 15 first.
They've been trapped longer,
and there's more of them.
I'm sorry, Vince.
Jake, you will get the crane second.
You do whatever it takes to keep
my husband alive a little longer.
Copy.
Hear that, Chief?
The crane's gonna free the 15,
then it's all ours.
Where's the water at now?
It's at my neck.
God, I'm so, so sorry.
I'm sorry I kept Riley
a secret all those years.
I'm sorry I can't help you now.
Hey, stop! Shut up!
Stop talking like you're not
gonna get me out of here,
that you're gonna let me die in a hole.
It's not happening.
I trained you to be smart,
resourceful, trained you to be
the best. Start acting like it.
Yeah. Yeah. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Work, don't worry, Jake.
You can figure this out.
Work, don't worry.
Work.
Don't worry. Work. Work.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah, I think I found something.
Hang tight.
Okay. Okay.
Here.
Chief, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Breathe through this!
We cleared a path for the 15.
We're sending the crane over.
Copy. Standing by the position.
Chief, do you hear that?
The boom of the crane is moving
this way. Come on, hang on.
Let's go. We're all set!
Copy. We're pulling it now.
Keep clear, guys.
Clear out, guys, it's gonna drop!
Chief.
Come on, Chief.
I'm right here. Nice. There we go.
There you go.
Thank you.
They'll triage you over there, sir.
I got you, sir.
All right, here I am.
Right here. There you go.
Take my hand. There you go.
There you go.
Nice.
Aydan. Are you okay?
Eve?
Yeah Yeah, I think so.
I don't know. You tell me.
Well, I think you're in one piece.
Okay.
This paramedic's gonna
get you checked out,
- get you some oxygen, all right?
- Okay.
This way. Come on.
Uh uh, wait.
When I was looking for you,
I found your phone.
Let me know
when you get home safe, okay?
Thank you for looking for me.
That's my job.
I got to get back.
Emma?! Emma?!
Kai?!
- Are you hurt?
- No.
I've never been so happy
to see anyone in my life.
I love you.
I love you, too.
- Mmm.
- Mmm. Oh.
Hey, how's he doing?
Not sure yet.
The last things
I said to him were pretty awful.
- What if he?
- No, don't go there yet.
Ah!
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
Thanks for not dying on me.
You know I do what I can.
Bode and Manny's crew, they
They made space for the crane.
He's trying. It's just
not when you're looking.
Thank you.
Told you you could do it.
I'm glad you're okay.
Bode?
Back to the buggy!
Let's go home.
Hey, how's Vince doing?
Oh, he's taking it easy. Um
Ooh! But now with these onion rings,
his recovery's gonna go so much faster.
Here you go.
I am sorry
for challenging you on singling me out.
Bode told me that you taking me
on a ride-along was a good thing.
Oh, you've been talking to Bode?
Mm. For a minute today, yeah.
Questioning me was really ballsy.
I'm a straight shooter, and
Which is a real asset as a firefighter.
I was not hazing you today.
I was testing you.
See if you really wanted this,
or you're just trying
to piss off your father.
What does my dad have to do with this?
Wait, wait.
Did-did my dad ask you to haze me?
Your father's just worried about you,
which I get, as a parent.
And I owe him one.
He's really taken Bode under his wing.
Yeah.
I've watched him dedicate
his life to Cal Fire,
but I never realized how much
Cal Fire was giving back to him
until I got my hands dirty.
I want this.
I won't back down.
I see that now.
You asked Chief Leone to haze me?
You don't like the pressure,
you don't belong anywhere
near a fire station, mija.
Oh, no, I can handle pressure.
What I can't handle is your
paternalistic meddling behind my back.
Can you please lower your voice?
People can hear you.
I told you I don't want you doing this.
And I heard you.
It's just not up for debate.
And you took Bode under your wing?
You could take someone else's kid
and train them, but not your own.
Oh, come on, this is different.
It's hypocritical.
Gabriela. Gabriela.
- Sit down. Let's talk about this.
- Why?
Why? It doesn't seem like
anything I say matters.
You should be resting.
I wanted to come thank you.
You could've done that over the phone.
Um
Look, I
When I was trapped today
In between being terrified
I had some time to think, and
I would love it if you
would ask me out again.
I think this near-death rom-com fantasy
might be a trauma response.
It happens a lot when we rescue people.
This lady Jake saved
wanted him to move to Paris.
No. Turning you down
the first time was a mistake.
It's not because you rescued me.
It's 'cause you're funny.
And kind.
And, um really hot in this uniform.
And that awkward feeling
that you get when you see me?
- That's a crush.
- Mm.
And I would know
because I have one, too.
Bode
You have a call.
Thanks.
Hello?
I came to Smokey's
to pick up food for me and Jake,
and I talked to your mom
about today and I got into a fight
with my dad and I stormed out
without the food.
So, what do I do?
Go back in for the food?
No.
I mean about my dad.
He asked your mom to haze me
so that I'd quit.
That's why she was extra hard on me.
Oh, man.
Yeah. I want to kill him.
I know the feeling.
Your mom says your dad
checked out okay, by the way.
I figured you'd want to know.
If you had asked me this morning,
I would have said I didn't care
how he turned out.
But
I got my bluff called on that one today.
He's your dad.
Of course you care.
Hmm.
The problem is,
to him, I'm still the person
that killed his favorite kid
and ruined his life.
And what about your life?
He lost a daughter,
but you lost a sister.
Yeah, but
it was my fault.
What if you stopped caring
about what your dad thinks?
What if you started
believing in yourself instead?
Sounds like you need
to take that advice, too.
I will if you do.
It's not that easy, is it?
You should, uh
You should probably get that,
that food home now.
Hangry Jake ain't pretty.
You're right about that.
I'm glad I called.
I feel better.
Good.
Me too.
Okay, my love.
Yes.
Totally worth having
a building fall on me for these.
How's our favorite player doing?
About to park this next pitch
in the bay, I hope.
I'm so glad you're still alive.
Yeah, me too. Thanks for that.
Don't just thank me.
You got to thank Manny
and his whole team.
I'll put some money in Bode's account.
And next time I visit,
I will listen more and talk less.
You just earned yourself
a beer for that one.
Hey, Shar, you know,
I don't know why we're waiting around
for a deal on that Airstream.
Why don't we just splurge for it now?
Trick it out.
Get the best sound system money can buy.
Shar?
