You work this program,
you'll learn to put out fires.
And not just up there in the mountains.
You stole cars.
I crashed one with my sister in it.
You're not the worst thing
you've ever done.
GABRIELA: What if we meet down the road?
Where we met when my car broke down.
Where you told me that crossing a line
will get me in big trouble?
I will stay on my side of the line,
if you do.
I'm sick. I have chronic kidney disease.
Do you need a transplant?
I need you to do good time.
- You should head back to work.
- That's not happening.
I'm your designated care person.
You were calling to make me aware
that you were calling my girlfriend.
Making sure that you know
that she and I are just friends.
Bode, do you think
I'm worried about you?
You and me while you're with Jake.
It's over the line.
You don't want to see me at all?
Somehow, a white shoe legal
eagle became my best inmate?
Fire camp's like a vacation
compared to practicing law.
Heard the women's captain say
that one of her crew is a lawyer.
- Rebecca.
- Maybe she could help you.
Hey, Rebecca. I'm Bode.
My boy Freddy, he's falsely accused.
I'll take a look at his case.
Thank you.
- See you around?
- I hope so.

BODE: Good work, guys.
Fire's about 20 chains out.
(BUSY CHATTER)
CHARLIE: Is that
smoke or is that a person?
We got something here!
BODE: Hey, Charlie, what do you see?
Hey. Hey, Charlie!
Charlie.
Charlie, get back to the line.
Charlie, we got to get

MANNY: Everyone all right?!
Bode!
- Can you hear me?
- Yeah.
(AUDIO CLEAR): What happened?
Water heater.
It blew out the front of this house,
unrelated to the fire.
Damn, looks more like a jewelry store.
Wait. Oh, my gosh.
I'm gonna need you guys to get
checked out by the EMT, okay?
- Yeah.
- Get up, nice and slow.
Charlie, I got you. Come on.
There we go.
KATE: No, out!
- No, everyone, off the
- Ma'am, please stay back.
No, I do not want these convicts
handling my stuff.
MANNY: Homeowner.
Some people just can't get past
the damn orange jumpsuit.
Ma'am! Excuse me.
Hi. My name's Manny.
Hey, you good?
- That was huge.
- Hey, Rebecca. Yeah.
You were so close.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, no, I-I'm fine.
I'm all right.
Okay.
You know, I
I used to have a big house
and fancy stuff.
Cared about it way too much.
Kind of like that lady.
- You miss it?
- No.
I'm learning to like
who I am without it.
(CHUCKLES)
By the way, your friend Freddy
really did take a bum plea deal.
- You looked into his case?
- Yeah.
Is there any hope?
I'll have to work some
jailhouse lawyer magic, but
I can be very persuasive.
(CHUCKLES): Go get checked out.
Yeah.
(KNOCKING)
Hello, Vincent.
Father Pascal.
Oh, I'm just here to pay the
fire citations from last month.
(CHUCKLES) Okay.
- You could've mailed them.
- Well, yes,
and you could've come
any Sunday and told me
that my hedges were too close
to the power lines, so
May I?
Thank you.
You know, I can still count on one hand
the amount of times I've been
inside a church, right?
- Including my wedding.
- Mm.
So, do you have a pen?
- So I can write the check.
- Oh, yes.
Mm.

JAKE: Hey.
Been looking all over for you.
Are you okay?
I just got turned down
for three apartments
because of my credit score.
Okay, um
Well, babe, look, I have money
saved up, so how much are we talk
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I can pay for my bills.
I have great credit.
Okay, then what's the matter?
(GROANS)
Gabs?
My dad bought his first
house five years ago.
He saved up forever for that house.
And right away, the pipes burst,
so I was happy to help.
But that was back then, and
I got my dad a credit card a while back.
Now there's a huge unpaid
balance on that card, so
I'm texting him (PHONE CHIMES)
He says that he used it by mistake
and he'll clear it up.
Okay, well, great.
That settles that then, right?
(SIGHS)
LILLY: Ha, there he is.
Has my son gotten more handsome
since the last time I saw him?
Mom. (CHUCKLES)
Ah.
Mom,
- I want you to meet
- Gabriela Perez, yes.
Olympian turned public servant.
I looked you up.
Oh. (LAUGHS)
You know, my son's longest
relationship before you
was firefighting. (CHUCKLES)
Imagine my surprise
to hear you moving in together.
It's so wonderful.
That is a surprise.
(ALARM BLARING)
Okay, uh, we got a call.
Um
- We got to go, Mom.
- Listen, I-I
I'm here for Sharon on this trip,
but next time, we are
roasting oysters on Hog Island.
Nice to meet you, Dr. Crawford.
Ah-ah, Lilly.
Who knows? Maybe one day
you might call me Mom.
JAKE: That's a
respiratory distress call.
Should be quick. Let's go.
BODE: Hey, do you know
any tricks to parole faster?
Well, more fires get you
out faster, obviously.
That's why we're all here.
But there are other tricks.
MANNY: Let's mop this up.
Educational credits, good conduct.
Though you strike me more as a bad boy.
Well, I'm trying not to be.
My mom, she's sick.
Sorry.
Got to follow the rules,
get out of here.
How'd a mama's boy like you end up here?
Whole list of things I didn't get
caught for and one thing that I did.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm here because job
stress drove me to drink,
while driving.
Cliché, right? Alcoholic lawyer?
If you qualified for fire camp, then
you must not have hurt anybody.
Oh, no, no, no casualties.
Other than a stop sign and my marriage.
And my license to practice,
my parents' trust.
Should I keep going
or is this getting too sad?
I can clean the rest
of these things myself.
Ma'am, this grass is still smoldering.
There's soot; there's
all kinds of broken glass.
No, I appreciate that.
I just Now that the fire's out,
I would rather not have my valuables
being handled by criminals.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
back to your buggies!
Give me everything you collected first.

Wow. A Lurvati.
That's some serious bling.
Huh.
You know, as I was driving
over here, I was thinking:
sometimes a bunch of
fire citations can be just that.
And, uh, well, other times
No. This is not other times.
You seem troubled. We could talk.
California is burning, Father.
I'm always troubled.
Oh, please, call me David.
All right, call me Vince.
Vincent was my grandfather.
(SIGHS)
Well, Vince
here you go.
You know, you're
a pillar of this community.
People worry about your family.
I mean, how are you doing?
Maybe we should crack a beer sometime.
I can listen.
And you know what?
I'll make sure the big guy
isn't invited.
(WHISPERS): You're not invited.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Um, thanks, David.
That's very kind, but my dance
card's a little full these days.
Well, you know where you can find me.

Was that Father Pascal?
My new buddy, apparently.
What is going on here?
What do Where are you going
all gussied up?
Smokey's to meet Lilly.
Oh. Good.
Maybe she can give you
some medical insight, huh?
I doubt it.
I'm not telling her that I'm sick.
Come on. If I have to fill up my days,
I don't want them to all be
kidney conversations.
All right, I get it.
Have a good day at work.

MANNY: Well, can we spread
the late payments over time?
GABRIELA: We'll need
the first payment today.
MANNY: Hey, Bode. What you need?
Uh, your help.
What's up?
Look, I want to, uh, I want
to build education credits
to try and parole faster,
but the red tape is daunting.
That's great, Bode.
That's how you work the system.
Listen, the application
process is a little slow,
but I can help fast-track that for you.
I'd be more than happy to do it.
(CHUCKLES) Thanks, Cap.
It's a great idea, man.
Captain Perez?
Hit the bunks, inmate.
We got a problem.
JAKE: I'm sorry.
Look, I told my mom
I was gonna ask you to move in.
GABRIELA: I'm not worried about that.
I'm worried about my dad.
JAKE: If your dad said
he'll fix the credit card thing,
then he'll fix the credit card thing.
I trust his word.
I just don't know how you fix
a few grand plus interest overnight.
I'm worried.
Look, he's your dad. It's his job to

No? Are you allergic to anything?

There's five more people down
around the corner.
What the hell is happening?
♪
Greencrest Dispatch.
We've got a suspected
carbon monoxide leak.
We need backup now.
Okay, we need to get
these people out of here.
GABRIELA: And alert the
patrons in the brewery, right?
But first, we need to grab
our masks from the rig.

♪
Yo, hey.
Boys, something's brewing.
I think we're about to get
rolled up on by the new C.O.
Everybody, up.
Toes on the line.
MANNY: If you have nothing to hide,
you have nothing to worry about.
(MEN MURMURING)
A little respect, man.
Respect goes both ways, OG.
DAVIDSON: Cell phone.
Vapes.
Lonnegan, Ashford,
you're getting written up.
That ain't mine, man! I didn't do that!
Hey, hey! (CLAMORING)
Dude, it's not worth it.
Come on, get off me. (MURMURING)
INMATE: What the hell?
(PAINED GRUNT)
Let's go.
DAVIDSON: He's right.
It's not worth going back to prison.
But that's where you're all headed
if we don't get to the bottom of this.
We don't even know what
the hell you're talking about.
A valuable item went missing
from this morning's mop-up on Maple.
DAVIDSON: If no one comes
forward by end of day,
I will personally ensure
that every one of you
are sleeping in a cell tonight.
Now, I'm gonna let you
talk amongst yourselves,
figure out if that's how
you want this to go down.

FIREFIGHTER: Give 'em a hand.
Here we go.
I got it.
I got him. (CHATTER CONTINUES)
GABRIELA: Wes.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
These firefighters are
gonna take you now, okay?
I know you're scared,
but it's gonna be okay.
Once you get more oxygen in you,
you're gonna feel much better, okay?
How far out is triage?
15 minutes. Help us.
Uh, grab your stuff.
I have to check for gas,
but it appears to be a CO leak.
Five victims inside.
That we know of. Could be more.
All right, we'll do an extensive search.
I'd rather have a fire
than a CO leak any day.
At least you can see flames.
CO's a sneaky bitch.
What do you got
for potential sources, probie?
Stoves, car engines, water heaters,
anything that needs fuel.
We got to cut the gas line,
hope it cuts the leak.
That should eliminate
most sources, I hope.
On it.
Are we worried that the gas
could lead to an explosion?
CO's flammable but not
as flammable as natural gas.
Just don't go lighting
any stogies in there.
Anything that fuels fire,
we kill that, too, right?
That is correct, Perez.
Guess what.
You're with me. Let's go do a sweep.
Three friggin' weeks left
before I parole.
Whoever took it better cop to it.
How do we know
you didn't take it, old man?
(GRUNTING)
I may be old, son, but I'm crazy.
Hey, hey, hey! Enough! No!
Look, we've had each other's
backs the last couple months.
Hell, we've even saved
each other's lives.
Haven't we?
We may have been criminals,
but that's not who we are now.
No.
We're firefighters.
- Despite what anybody says.
- Yeah.
That homeowner accusing us
of stealing things?
This new C.O. trying to get us
to turn on each other?
They don't define us.
Hell no.
- We do.
- MAN: Yeah.
By our actions. (MURMURS OF AGREEMENT)
And by our words.
Charlie,
did you steal something from the scene?
I did not.
I believe you.
What about you, Perkins?
No.
No.
Wayne? Brown?
We stand together. Okay?
Whether we're fighting fire
or we get thrown into one.
(CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING QUIETLY
OVER SPEAKERS)
You know what?
I will have an iced tea, please.
Um, same.
Coming right up.
Thanks. (SIGHS)
You just ordered an iced tea
instead of a rosé.
Who told you that I'm sick?
Shouldn't the question be:
Why didn't you tell me?
It's nonsense. Sharon, who do you think
that I'd call if my house was on fire?
Hopefully, 911.
You're a cardiac surgeon.
This is my kidneys.
Yes, well, I am also a medical baller.
You saw my TED Talk?
No, you forwarded it
those three or five times,
but I totally missed it. (LAUGHS)
Well, then you know
how deep my connections run.
Hospitals, researchers, biotech.
Access to all of it from my L.A. office,
which I am hoping that you will join me.
Oh, Bode's about to come home.
I'm-I'm not taking off while he's here.
Okay.
I-I need you to have an open mind.
Okay?
And these
will help you with that.
Shut up.
(CHUCKLES): They're perfectly legal.
We're both off the clock.
So, not a pity party?

This a pot party?

Really?

You're welcome.
Oh, Lord. Here we go. (LAUGHS)

Hey, sir?
My Imperial IPA sneaks up on ya.
So does carbon monoxide.
I don't smell anything.
Yeah, you wouldn't.
It doesn't have a smell.

There's carbon monoxide
leaking in here, too.
Everybody, spread out.
Find every appliance there is.
Shut everything down. Let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen,

Whoa.
That's why.

Everybody, out! Now!
CHARLIE: This don't look
like no team-building exercise.
Yeah, more like team-breaking.
Everyone, on your asses.
Sitting on your hands.
We're gonna question
each of you one by one
until we get an answer.
'Cause the way it's looking,
you're all going back to prison.
Guilty until proven innocent?
I'm sure the DOC doesn't want a big ol'
prisoner rights lawsuit on their hands.
Who's gonna file that for you?
Our very own jailhouse lawyer.
Rebecca Lee,
dishonorable and disbarred
attorney-at-law.

Look, we don't even know
what was stolen.
A Lurvati watch.
Taken from the house you worked on.
(URGENT CHATTER)
(COUGHING)
Got him?
We turned off the rest of the gas,
but they're still dropping like flies.
The CO source may not be
the main gas line.
Finding it's gonna be a pain in the ass.

Compressions. Airway. Breathing.
Come on. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Hang in there, my man.
Dispatch, can I get confirmation
on the secondary search?
DISPATCHER: We
retrieved three more patients.
Copy you.
Got a rhythm.
Good, good. Breathe, buddy, breathe.
VINCE: Good work.

Hey, hey. You just
breathed in poisonous gas.
You need the oxygen to
recover, remember? (MUMBLES)

You know him?
Yeah, we used to coach
Little League together.
His kid was a power hitter
for Saint Mary's.
I-I need
Yeah, you-you need oxygen.
You just keep breathing that in.

the championship later.

Are these way better or
is that the edibles kicking in?

(LAUGHS)
Good. So you're loosened up.
Mmm. (LAUGHS) Yes.
So, sitting on a transplant list
could take up to ten years,
so we need to take action now
and not wait.
(LAUGHS): You're a buzzkill.
Um, I'm not even transplant eligible.
And then, you know,
if my numbers improve
When. When your numbers go down,
when you use my connections.
Come on, let's get ice cream
and French fries.
Sharon, I'm not letting
you go through this alone.
I have Vince.
Well, now you're stuck with me, too.

With my edible dealer?
(PHONE VIBRATING) Thank you.
Aw.
Is everything okay?
No. Bode's crew is accused
of stealing from a fire mop-up. (GASPS)
There's a Lurvati watch missing
from that, like,
gated community on Maple.
Ugh.
Oh, all those orange jumpsuits
on their fancy front lawns.
They only saw
a group of criminals, trust.
Okay. I'm gonna go up there.
To do what?
I'm gonna do whatever to help my son.
Um, uh, I'll replace the watch.
Okay. We're gonna do this?
Are you gonna come with me?
I am not letting you roll up
on a bunchy of fancies. Mm-mm.
On edibles.
We can't drive.
It's what my driver's for.

You're fancy.
I'm so glad we have you.

So, Wes, how you feeling?
Better or worse than
when my kids beat yours?

All right, search is all clear?
Yeah, secondary's just finishing up.

Wait, wait, where did Wes go?
He was confused and disoriented.
Might've run back in.
What the hell is he thinking?
He's not thinking.
He's got CO poisoning.
All right, change out
your air cylinders, both of you.
Go. Find him.
Work doesn't stop
because one of you stole.
Square this stuff away.

Now.
Hey. None of my girls stole the watch.
Your crew?
There's no way. No.
Well, if wasn't any of us
Your cap did time for stealing.
Cars.
Bode, do the math.
Who was on the scene?
He was the last one
to have the watch in his hands.
I saw him.
You can work your ass off to get credits
to shorten your time,
but nothing's gonna get you out
faster than telling the truth.
Snitching pays.
I-I
I got faith that whoever
took the watch will fess up.
Even Cap.
Okay.
Is your faith in him greater
than the love for your mom?

JAKE: Well, we turned the
gas off and vented the place,
but the CO's still through the roof.

Thanks.
SHARON: Hello.
Hi. I'm Sharon.
Hi. Lilly.
Kate. Can I help you?
SHARON: Oh, I'm so glad
you asked, 'cause you can.
You reported a watch missing,
and it has the power to send
a lot of people back to prison,
and one of those people is my son.
Yes, sh-she is the mom
of one of the firefighters
- from this morning.
- The convicts.
They're incarcerated, trying
to turn their lives around,
and the accusation that
you made could really hurt them.
Accusation?
When people steal from you,
do you not call the police?
Oh, and how did you know it was them?
Did you have proof?
LILLY: Okay.
Okay, we are not here to finger-point.
Uh, we're here with an offer.
SHARON: If you would
withdraw that accusation,
I will replace the watch.
I-I'll buy you another one.
It doesn't matter what it costs.
I-I'm not rich, but it doesn't matter.
With all due respect,
I value people over stuff.
Except it isn't "stuff."
That's an heirloom that's been
in my family for generations.
So, with all due respect, please go.
Thank you.
You found him.
Hey, great work, you two.
How's Wes doing?
(GRUNTS) The water wall.
It's a swimming pool.
Hey.
The water, the water.
Yeah. You see?
That's the lack of oxygen talking.
Yep, this guy's on the next ambulance.
He took in additional poison.

GABRIELA: What-what
did he say? "Inside"?
Wait, who's Maxine?
Maxine's his wife.
And the swimming pool? W-Water wall?
There was art on the wall
near where we found him.
It was all water.
Well, he's saying his wife
is still in there, okay?
That didn't sound like gibberish to me.
Chief, we got everybody out.
GABRIELA: If it has
something to do with that wall,
I don't know,
w-we go back inside, right?
It's a risk, but

- Hey, hey.
- MAN: Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're coming.
Chief, we listen to him, right?
(SIGHS)
Go. See if you can find her.
I hope the hospital can save Wes.
Go, go, go, go.
This is the last of our cylinders.
Yeah, I know.
We'll make every breath count.
We should go, Sharon.
Come on, there's got to be
something that I can do.
Sometimes, the help that's offered
is not the help that's wanted, is it?
Right.
Kate?
Can I take one of those?
You shouldn't have to do this alone.

I promised her I would be out
for her tenth birthday.
But, hey, what's one more
broken promise?

You're not going back to prison.
'Cause someone's gonna fess up.
I'm gonna tell the C.O.
Tell him what?
I stole the watch.
Bode.
You didn't take the watch.
How would you know?
Because I know you.
I can think of
a much more plausible reason.
What are you trying to say?
I think if you've run into some issues,
this might seem like
a fast-track way to solve them.
I would tread very carefully
if I were you.
Look, the Cap that I know,
he wouldn't stand back while his guys
went down for something that he did.
I told you about my past
so you would understand
that I wasn't judging you.
Not so you could judge me.
This isn't, this isn't me judging you.
There's still time
to do the right thing.

Hey. None of my girls stole the watch.
Your crew?
There's no way. No.
Well, if wasn't any of us
Your cap did time for stealing.
Cars.
Bode, do the math.
Who was on the scene?
He was the last one
to have the watch in his hands.
I saw him.
You can work your ass off to get credits
to shorten your time,
but nothing's gonna get you out
faster than telling the truth.
Snitching pays.
I-I
I got faith that whoever
took the watch will fess up.
Even Cap.
Okay.
Is your faith in him greater
than the love for your mom?

Wes?

Hey, Wes, come on, buddy.
We're gonna go on a little trip.

Let's go!
Oh, hold on. You look high as a kite.
- I do?

Okay, okay.
That's much better.
Thanks.
SHARON: Hello.
Hi. I'm Sharon.
Hi. Lilly.
Kate. Can I help you?
SHARON: Oh, I'm so glad
you asked, 'cause you can.
You reported a watch missing,
and it has the power to send
a lot of people back to prison,
and one of those people is my son.
Yes, sh-she is the mom
of one of the firefighters
- from this morning.
- The convicts.
They're incarcerated, trying
to turn their lives around,
and the accusation that
you made could really hurt them.
Accusation?
When people steal from you,
do you not call the police?
Oh, and how did you know it was them?
Did you have proof?
LILLY: Okay.
Okay, we are not here to finger-point.
Uh, we're here with an offer.
SHARON: If you would
withdraw that accusation,
I will replace the watch.
I-I'll buy you another one.
It doesn't matter what it costs.
I-I'm not rich, but it doesn't matter.
With all due respect,
I value people over stuff.
Except it isn't "stuff."
That's an heirloom that's been
in my family for generations.
So, with all due respect, please go.
Thank you.
You found him.
Hey, great work, you two.
How's Wes doing?
(GRUNTS) The water wall.
It's a swimming pool.
Hey.
The water, the water.
Yeah. You see?
That's the lack of oxygen talking.
Yep, this guy's on the next ambulance.
He took in additional poison.
Maxine.
- Maxine is inside.
- GABRIELA: Hey, hey, hey.
Take it easy.
- Max-Maxine.
- Relax, relax.
(MONITOR ALARMS BEEPING)
GABRIELA: Whoa. (GRUNTING)
(GABRIELA GASPS)
GABRIELA: What-what
did he say? "Inside"?
Wait, who's Maxine?
Maxine's his wife.
And the swimming pool? W-Water wall?
There was art on the wall
near where we found him.
It was all water.
Well, he's saying his wife
is still in there, okay?
That didn't sound like gibberish to me.
Chief, we got everybody out.
GABRIELA: If it has
something to do with that wall,
I don't know,
w-we go back inside, right?
It's a risk, but
(MONITOR BEEPS) I got a pulse.
- Hey, hey.
- MAN: Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're coming.
Chief, we listen to him, right?
(SIGHS)
Go. See if you can find her.
I hope the hospital can save Wes.
Go, go, go, go.
This is the last of our cylinders.
Yeah, I know.
We'll make every breath count.
We should go, Sharon.
Come on, there's got to be
something that I can do.
Sometimes, the help that's offered
is not the help that's wanted, is it?
Right.
Kate?
Can I take one of those?
You shouldn't have to do this alone.

But, hey, what's one more
broken promise?
(SIGHS)
You're not going back to prison.
'Cause someone's gonna fess up.
I'm gonna tell the C.O.
Tell him what?
I stole the watch.
Bode.
You didn't take the watch.
How would you know?
Because I know you.
I can think of
a much more plausible reason.
What are you trying to say?
I think if you've run into some issues,
this might seem like
a fast-track way to solve them.
I would tread very carefully
if I were you.
Look, the Cap that I know,
he wouldn't stand back while his guys
went down for something that he did.
I told you about my past
so you would understand
that I wasn't judging you.
Not so you could judge me.
This isn't, this isn't me judging you.
There's still time
to do the right thing.

All right, everyone, listen up.
Hey, I'm Sharon Leone.
If you don't know me,
this is my friend Kate Ricci.
She has something to say.
I owe you all an apology.
We found the watch I was missing
- Uh, she found the watch.
- We found it working together.
It was burnt.
Unrecognizable.
And I, uh
I made a mistake.
All that and it was a different watch.
(QUIETLY):
I don't care what watch it is.
Doesn't mean we get to stay.
KATE: I'm just really sorry
for all of the trouble
that it caused. I
It was an accusation
made on prejudice.
And, I, uh
I wish I could take it all back.
I'm sorry.
JAKE: We did everything we could.
You did everything you could.
So why does it feel like
he died because of me?
Like I could've
put it together earlier.
Because you didn't have
all the information.
He couldn't speak.
Look, he and Maxine, they
they were stranded on an island where
none of us could help them.
Unless they let us in.
People who need the most help
always feel like they could handle it.
My dad and I used to crash a lot.
At first, it was fun.
He would throw all of his money into
my training.
Diving, tutors, tournaments.
All while we crashed at my tía's house.
And then a friend's house.
(SNIFFLES)
And then a motel.
And then our car.
It was only two months, but
it felt like forever.
Baby, I had no idea.
Hey, I-I am so, so sorry.
It's just hard to talk
to people about it.
They look at you differently.
Like if you need charity.
First of all,
as we saw today
there's nothing wrong
with needing help.
As for you moving in with me
it's not about that.
I know.
Well, up here, I know.
But in here
it's still really triggering
to talk about money.
About moving in,

- Hey. No.
Look, you don't have
to talk about that now.
But spend the night with me.
If you want.
- I would love that.
- Cool.

I'm open to help.
I'm not moving to L.A., but
I'll talk to your specialist,
and if she says
to come down for treatments,
I'll fly down and do them.

And if the offer's still on the table,
I'll take you up on

'Cause I know what
it feels like to be doubted.

Aw.
You were just trying to do
the right thing, Bode.
I appreciate that.
Uh, is everything okay, Cap?

Yeah, man, it's more than okay.
