Fire Country (2022) s01e12 Episode Script
Two Pink Lines
All right, Three Rock,
tell me what you see.
I see fuel.
It's a south-facing slope;
that means it's dry.
And you, Rohan?
There's snow on the ground,
so no fire danger.
Not true, Rohan. Given
the right wind conditions,
this hillside's a wildfire
waiting to happen.
Cap, you ruin nature hikes for us.
Not a nature hike, Bode,
it's a training hike,
and I need you to see all the risks.
That way, you can be prepared for 'em.
Tell you what I don't see.
Access roads for easy evacuation.
That's my boy Freddy always
looking for an escape route.
Go ahead and laugh, but Cap taught me
You walk into a fire,
you better have a way out.
Couldn't have
said it better myself, Goat.
All right, guys, let's take five.
"Marry me"?
- Excuse me?
- I like you, sir,
but I'm talking about the plane.
S
Sam? Sarah?
What if Sam or Sarah
doesn't want to get married?
Oh, that's your problem
with Cap's daughter, you know.
Fear of rejection.
I got bigger things on
my mind right now, Freddy.
Gah, gah, gah, gah. Nothing
bigger than love, brother.
Gabriela doesn't want
to have anything to do with me.
'Cause you almost beat up
that guy last week?
Yeah.
It freaked her out.
So, apologize.
Tell her you're changing.
Flutter those big baby blues.
What if she's right, though?
You know, she's probably
better off without me.
You run into fires like a superhero,
but you're gonna run away from this?
Whoa. Whoa, whoa,
what the hell?! Hey! Hey!
Green Crest, Three Rock Crew
Four. We got a new incident.
Whoa, I hope he has a parachute.
Come on, guys. Let's go find that plane.
Wow, Collin. You've had a lot
of jobs over the years.
Yeah. Uh, um, I spent most
of my twenties rebelling
against expectations.
Uh, my dad worked for Cal Fire,
so, kind of grew up in his shadow.
Oh, I met your dad a couple times.
Solid as they come.
That's what I'm told.
All right, come on.
Let me show you around.
My son, Bode, he
he resisted the calling
for a long time, too,
but he's a natural. It's in his blood.
Does he work here, too?
No. He works across town at Three Rock.
Three Rock?
Wait, isn't that a
a prison firefighting camp?
Yeah.
Is he a captain?
No, he's an inmate.
Hey! I see the pilot!
Medevac's on the way, sir.
Were there any more passengers?
Easy!
Try and stay still.
No. Just me.
All right, we're gonna get you down.
I need you to establish a position above
so we can lower him down, all right?
Hey, Cap, I-I can free-climb it.
Nah, Rohan's a doctor.
He needs to be able to check his
vitals before we bring him down.
You and Freddy head down the ridge and
see if you can spot
the wreckage, all right? Go.
Copy that, Cap.
Did you know that Rohan was a doctor?
I thought he was in for dealing drugs.
Oh. He was dealing drugs.
Hey, Shar. What
What-what are you doing here?
Well, actually,
it's Division Chief Leone.
Oh. Somebody got cleared
to come back to work.
Yeah.
The dialysis is working.
And once she gets her new
kidney, she'll be unstoppable.
Oh, when are you getting the transplant?
Okay. I don't want to talk
about my kidneys anymore,
except to say "thank you."
I know most of you gave blood
to see if you were compatible
to donate, and I don't want
to know if you're a match yet.
Uh, that way, if I see
you eating junk food
and possibly destroying
my kidney, I won't be mad.
Well, I'm not a match, so
Oh! I don't want to know.
Thank you.
Please resume eating your donut.
Vince, you gonna introduce
me to your new probie?
Uh, oh. Um
I Uh, yeah. Hi. Nice to meet you all.
Uh, my name's Collin O'Reilly.
Any relation to Kirk O'Reilly?
Who's Kirk O'Reilly?
Well, he's dead now,
but Cal Fire legend.
I mean, real badass.
Which makes Collin a nugget.
What's a nugget?
You know what a nugget is.
No, I don't.
You're a nugget, 'cause
your dad is head of Three Rock.
And anyone's parent
who's a part of Cal Fire is a nugget.
This is how you talk about us?
I mean, not to your face, but, yeah.
Thanks.
I'm having a baby.
Um now?
I'm not from here.
Um, contractions started
about 100 miles ago,
and my water broke about ten
miles ago, and now I feel like
- I feel like I have to push.
- Okay, listen.
- We can get you to the hospital, okay?
- Okay.
- Can you move?
- Here comes another contraction.
This baby's coming now.
There's no time for the hospital.
Please tell me I can do this
- because I'm scared to death.
- Just breathe.
- And, oh, here it comes.
- All right, breathe.
- Breathe.
- Vince, Sharon,
we need you in the bay!
Oh.
All right, guys, glove up.
She's right. There's
no time for the hospital.
Keep going. Slowly.
Slowly. Slowly. Good, good, good.
Easy! Easy! That's it.
That's it.
That's it. Chin up. That's good.
Here it comes! Here it comes!
Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh, good job, Mama.
Oh.
Oh, very good. Oh!
Is there someone that
we can call for you?
Yeah, call my boyfriend.
He's an inmate at Three Rock.
Okay.
Oh, man.
Air tac's reporting 400 acres,
rapid rate of spread,
moving up the hill.
I'm gonna evacuate the whole area,
before it gets bad.
Ah, it shouldn't be too tough.
It's pretty rural.
I've already established
Alpha here, and then,
Bravo, Charlie here and here.
Three Rock is cutting line there.
It's too steep for a dozer.
I need your guys
to go in and support them
with a hose lay, and then
put a lookout for spot fires.
We're gonna box the whole
thing in on all sides.
Welcome back to work.
Deliver a baby, fight a wildfire.
And look good doing it.
Manny, pin me your exact location.
I got to come talk to Freddy.
Good work, Three Rock!
Where's Freddy? Freddy, where are you?
Here, ma'am. Coming.
You all right, ma'am?
Yes. We're not here to talk about me.
Whatever you heard,
I didn't do it, and neither did Bode.
I'm glad to hear that, 'cause I
heard you got your girlfriend pregnant
in the boom-boom room
in Lancaster eight months ago.
Oh, yeah, I did do that.
Wait. How would you know?
I just helped deliver your baby.
- What?
- Yeah.
Cookie drove up here
for visiting day tomorrow,
and she went into labor halfway
between L.A. and Edgewater.
No. No, no, no.
They wouldn't send the chief
if everything was okay.
There's something wrong with my baby.
- What's wrong with my baby?!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You have a perfectly
healthy little pudge.
Boy or girl?
I'm gonna let Cookie tell you that.
You call.
Thank you.
Hose connected. Gonna lay it down.
Three
Rock's on the ridge clearing brush.
Excuse me, sir.
Hate to tell you this,
but we're evacuating the hillside.
Fire won't make it up here.
It very well could.
It won't.
I've been here 43 years, been
evacuated six or eight times.
It hasn't burned down yet.
Chief Leone. Vince.
Hey, Chief. Harlan Denbo.
Well, Harlan, we're just
up here doing our job.
Sure would make it easier if you'd
just comply with the evacuation.
How about doing your job
by helping me defend my house?
Our main priority is to protect lives.
Is there anybody else in the house
who might want to make it to safety?
Wife? Kids? Grandkids?
Just me.
Do you have someplace to go
if the fire does get here?
I'll leave when I see flames.
He doesn't see flames.
Fire's not real to him yet.
Well, I guess we got
to make it real for him.
Yeah. Let's go ahead
and try dental records, I guess.
Which one of you feels scariest today?
- Me.
- Me.
Yeah, both of you, go.
Hi. We were, uh, hoping to come
in and talk to you for a minute?
You can't come in,
- but go ahead and talk. I'm on hold.
- Well, we were
wondering if you have any copies
of your dental records.
In case things get
out of hand and we have
- to identify your body.
- You know, you could be
making sure that the fire gets put out.
Take your big old hoses
and blast that thing down to nothing.
Instead, you're up here wasting time
trying to scare an old man?
How do you spell your name?
- Sir, we
- Denbo.
- D-E-N-B-O.
- Okay, let me put you on a brief hold.
No. No, damn it,
don't put me on hold again.
It will be very brief, I promise.
Dr. Carter at Edgewater Dental
will have 'em.
And do me a favor. Since I'll be dead,
thank her for all the
excellent work over the years.
I don't think we scared him.
Hey. Cookie had a baby for real?
As real as they come.
So you're just
you're back to work now?
Yeah, and I'm feeling really good
except for this fire
tearing up the mountainside.
I got to go down.
Mom?
I'm a match.
I-I'm a match to donate my kidney.
I just found out.
You got tested? They let you give blood?
Yeah, yeah. I mean,
I still got a bunch of tests
and hoops to jump through, but
That's a really risky surgery.
I don't care.
No! No, you have to care!
You know, I held that little baby today,
and I remembered holding you
and wanting to keep you safe.
That was my job. That was my whole job.
And I haven't done it
very well, but, no,
I'm not doing this.
I am not taking your kidney.
Do you know what
"spinning the weather" means?
Spinning the
weather. No. No, I have no idea.
But I'm gonna guess it
involves spinning and weather.
Gentlemen, watch your footing!
Have each other's back
and keep your head on a swivel.
All the tools in this kit
will give us an accurate reading
on, uh, temperature, dew point,
humidity, wind speed, wind directions.
We have a wet bulb and dry bulb. Oh.
We're gonna wet it. Uh-huh. This one.
And spin it.
Okay. Mm-hmm.
So how long you been with Cal Fire?
Couple months.
What? That's it?
Thought you'd been here
for, like, years.
You'll get there.
Spin it parallel to the ground.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, which one's the chief's kid?
The one with the chainsaw.
What'd he do to get locked up?
- Does it matter?
- No.
No. I'm sorry.
You're right. It's none of my business.
My dad was an inmate.
And now he's captain of Three Rock.
People can change.
Wait. That guy's your dad?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, so you're a nugget, too, huh?
Collin, don't step on that rock.
Seriously, don't! Oh, no.
Run!
Heads up! Rock!
Rock! Freddy!
We have to tell him.
You're gonna get in trouble.
I am the most senior firefighter here,
- okay?
- But it was me.
Collin, everyone's waiting to
see what kind of nugget you are.
So just shut up and
let me do the talking.
Perez. What the hell happened up here?
I'm so sorry, Chief.
I thought it was stable.
It was you?
Yes, sir.
Well, I shouldn't have to remind you
there's lives on the line down below.
Understood. It won't happen again.
Yeah, it better not.
Thanks for covering.
Chief.
You put two inexperienced people
at the look-out?
Yes, I did. Falling rocks
are part of the job,
so maybe you should train
your guys to look out for 'em.
Stop it. No one died.
Although someone might
if we don't get Mr. Denbo
off the mountain.
He's not going anywhere
till he sees flames.
Did you at least try dental records?
Yes, I tried dental records.
Look, that's an old song.
- Everybody up here knows it.
- Okay.
Well, since he knows the
risk, what do you think?
Do we leave him up there?
I don't like leaving him up there, no.
Okay. Then have your guys
prep the house.
My guys can prep faster than your guys.
- Have you seen my guys work?
- I have,
and I take my crew
over your crew anytime.
Manny! Vince! You are on the same team.
And I am gonna pull Manny's guys
off the hillside
to do a retardant drop, so
you can work together, nicely.
Yes, ma'am.
What is up with him?
I don't know.
One of his guys almost died,
and his daughter would
have been responsible,
and he lost his house
due to a gambling addiction?
Not having a good week.
Well, my son almost died,
my wife's got a bum kidney,
but I think I'm handling
it like a champ.
Bode matched.
He tested?
And he's a match.
Well, great Okay, that's great.
- That's awesome, right?
- No, I'm not taking it.
- You what? Sharon.
- I'm not letting my kid
who is finally getting his life together
put himself in harm's way for me.
- Chief?
- I'm not.
The hose lay is in.
What's the next assignment?
We're going to secure Denbo's house.
Yes, sir. Let's go!
We are gonna talk about this.
Yes, we will. Don't die up there.
I don't die. Neither do you.
All right, Three Rock.
Tell me what you see.
Smoke going in my lungs,
killing me, and leaving
my baby without a daddy.
Well, put your shroud
over your face, Freddy.
I don't see an escape route.
Again: dead daddy.
I'm not gonna let you die, Freddy.
Got your escape routes
already covered, all right?
Hey, why didn't you
tell me about Cookie?
I didn't want to jinx things.
- I'm really happy for you, man.
- Thanks, bro.
I am, too. Cookie's my rock.
She's getting me through this.
I'm telling you,
you need a little of what I got.
- I need a kid?
- No.
You need a stable relationship.
I have a stable relationship.
- I have you, man.
- No.
I'm a family man now.
Can't hang with the boys.
All right, hustle up, guys.
We're going to Harlan Denbo's house.
I told you. I'm not leaving.
We're here to help you prep your house.
But if the wind starts
to shift, and we get spot fires,
we're heading out.
Hope you'll come with us.
All right, set up
for structure protection.
All right, gentlemen, safety zone's just
on the other side of that ridge.
There's a dirt patch and
an access road. You got it?
- Yes, sir.
- Freddy?
Over the ridge, access road.
No dead daddies.
That's right, baby. All right, boys.
Let's cut a highway
around this house, fellas.
So, I overhead Sharon and Vince talking.
I think Bode's a match.
Well, you didn't match.
Were you relieved or disappointed?
Little bit of both. You tested, right?
Yeah. I didn't match.
- Thank God.
- Well, why "Thank God"?
You saving Sharon's life?
That makes you the hero.
And then I'm resigned to living
in your shadow the rest of my life.
Yeah, well, I hate to break it to you,
but you're already in my shadow.
You wish.
Got jokes today.
Uh, hey.
Look at that little nugget
over there sucking up to Vince.
Looks like it's working, too.
Wait. Should we be nervous,
- living in the shadow of the nugget?
- Yeah, no.
- Ready water!
- We're ready!
Hey, Freddy, sorry
about the rock shower.
Uh, my man Bode saved my life.
Well, I'm glad you're good.
He almost died.
You glad he's doing good, too?
- Freddy.
- What?
Two of you
working alongside one another.
Got an opportunity
to clear the air. Let's go.
There's no air to clear.
Yeah, we're good, Freddy.
Oh, yeah? 'Cause rumor has it
you think my man here is unsalvageable,
but I'm here to tell you,
he's a flea market find.
All he needs is a little spit polish.
Hey!
How about a little less talking,
and a little more working, please?
We're working as fast as we can.
I ran a printing shop.
I managed 20 people.
I can tell you, nobody works
as fast as they can.
Well, maybe if you stop yelling
at us, we can get back to work.
- What? What did you say?
- Hey!
Hey, whoa, whoa, back off, man.
- You back off.
- Oh, oh, hey, hey, hey.
We're on your side, bro.
Well, then, get to work.
Ooh.
Oh, why am I here? Huh?
I'm risking my life for this fool?
Freddy, just calm down, all right?
Just chill out, think about the baby.
Oh, my God. Freddy, your baby.
I totally forgot to congratulate you.
She's so cute.
You saw her?
Yeah. We all did.
I thought you knew.
Hey, guy-I've-never-seen-before,
have you seen my baby?
Freddy? Hey.
What are you doing?
- I'm going to see my kid.
- And then what?
What happens after you see the baby?
They're gonna come looking for you.
I want to be a dad to my kid,
and I can't!
You can't understand that,
Bode. None of you can!
I used to wish that my dad
would escape and come get me
and that we'd be on the run.
I'd dream of it.
But that was a child's dream,
and now that I'm grown up,
I'm glad my dad did his time right.
I just want to see my baby.
I need to see my baby.
Hey, you-you leave here,
you're walking into a fire.
Like Cap says,
you better have a way out.
You're gonna see your kid.
And, you know, when-when she grows up,
you can tell her about today
and about how you overcame this
urge to do something impulsive.
How you changed and-and grew.
And she's gonna be
in awe of you, like I am.
Thanks, bro.
I got you.
I got you, too.
But talk to her.
I'm going back.
I'm trying to change, Gab.
I-I really am, for you.
Stop trying to impress me.
You want to change?
Okay.
Do it, but do it for yourself.
Don't do it for me.
Gab.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
We got to move off the road.
What's going on?
Where are they running?
They're running away
from the fire. It's coming.
Keep going, guys.
Fire's spreading faster than I hoped.
Well, you wanted to see flames.
There they are.
Now's the time, Harlan.
Okay.
You can evacuate my wife.
Your wi
You said it was just you.
We evacuated a year ago,
and it set her back.
She's got heart failure, COPD.
She's got COPD? Man.
Harlan, this air is not good
for her lungs.
You don't think I don't know
the 16 different ways
I've screwed this up?
But until you have a dying wife,
don't come at me, okay?
All right, fellas, this fire's
growing, so keep those hoses going.
For 43 years,
I paid those premiums on time.
Two months ago, I stopped.
You got to be kidding me.
My wife's medicine's expensive.
It was the medicine,
or the homeowner's insurance.
This place goes,
I'm literally destitute.
A burden to my kid, no good to my wife.
You-you tried calling
the insurance company, and
Yeah.
Yeah, some 25-year-old told me
there was nothing they can do.
I'm gonna tell her she's leaving.
Hey! Hey.
I heard you matched.
Oh, word gets around.
It's good to see you out here thriving.
I, uh I just don't want you
to do something that you'd regret.
Like save my mom's life?
I wouldn't regret that.
No. I-I I know. Uh
Man, this is coming out all wrong.
Yeah, it is.
Bode
it's a big deal.
It's a big life decision. I mean,
there could be complications in
the surgery, or even later on.
Just think about it.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, thank you for that.
Hey, why you trying
to talk him out of it?
So what do we do?
Call Harlan's bluff?
Take the gamble that if
we evacuate, he'll follow?
- That's your call.
- I'm asking for your input.
Well, as the only guy in the room
who knows what it feels like
to lose a house,
have we done everything we can?
- Hey, Shar?
- Hey.
You said you were sending a-a
tanker with some fire retardant.
You got an ETA?
I-I talked to Mia.
Sh-She's gonna be waiting
for you at the apartment.
I'll be there soon. I'm just
gonna get some of our stuff.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I I promise.
It was the right thing to do, Harlan.
Am I gonna lose my house?
We're gonna give it everything we got.
Let's see if this slows the fire down.
You might want to take
some cover under there.
About to drop the retardant!
Copy that. Drop coming!
What is this?
Fire retardant.
It's insane!
It's also hard to wash off.
You'll be finding it
in your clothes for weeks.
This stuff stings!
Hey! I stepped on the rock, not her.
I told the chief.
- You did?
- Felt bad about it.
Oh, you're an honest nugget, huh?
That retardant wasn't enough.
Hey! Hey, we got fire on the house!
- Whoa, there's fire on the house. Hey!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Fire on the roof!
Give me all the water you got!
Put dirt on the embers,
on everything! Let's do this!
- Chief, the house is toast.
- More water!
Come on! Let's go!
Vince.
We're way past trigger points.
Do we call it?
I hate losing to a damn fire.
We haven't lost anything, man.
We still have all of our guys.
Let's keep it that way.
Sorry, Harlan. Did everything
we could. Got to go.
- My wallet's inside, my credit cards.
- It's time to go, Harlan.
I got $500
I will give you $500!
Let's go, all right?
Everybody,
to the safety zone!
Let's go! Now, now, now!
Let's go, Three Rock!
Pick it up! Pick it up!
Move it!
42 and Three Rock
heading to the safety zone.
All right, Cal Fire on the left,
Three Rock on the right.
Everyone count off.
Station 42 accounted for.
Harlan? Where's Harlan?
Hey, Cap, we're missing one.
Let me guess.
- Bode?
- Bode?
Bode, come on!
Harlan? Hello?
Harlan?!
We got to go! We got to go!
- I can't find my wallet.
- Your wallet doesn't matter.
- It's got all my money.
- Let's go!
You're gonna have to jump.
- I can't!
- Look, this house
It's gonna kill you in 30 seconds.
- Where am I gonna live?
- I heard
- that you have a daughter.
- No. She doesn't want to have
to take care of her mom and me.
You don't know that. Come on.
Just stop being stubborn
and give her a chance.
- I can't.
- Look, I-I
I can't I can't get to you. Jump!
I'm sorry.
I'm staying.
Bode?!
Bode?!
Bode?!
Bode.
I s I saw-saw him go back in,
so I followed him.
There was there was
no time to tell you.
Hey, it's okay.
- It's all right.
- I-I
I couldn't get to him.
I cou I-I I begged him
to jump, and he wouldn't jump.
And the fire was just
- I wa I was gonna die.
- It's all right.
- I didn't want I didn't want to die.
- Bode,
it's all right. You're okay, Bode.
But he's in there.
You did the right thing.
Look!
Harlan? Harlan!
Harlan! Come on, let's get him up.
We got you.
Thank you. Thank you.
We'll probably do one more water drop
before the tankers head back to base,
but it looks like the fire stopped
on the top of the ridge.
But most importantly,
everybody came off
that mountain alive today.
And seeing you all here covered in pink
makes it really hit home
that you are one crew.
You wear different uniforms,
you have different
skills, different tools,
different leaders,
but you fight the same fight.
So thank you.
And before we head home, where's Freddy?
Congratulations from
everyone at Cal Fire.
This is one hell of
a gender reveal party.
Congrats, Freddy!
Attaboy, Freddy.
Hey, Papa Freddy!
All right, let's go home
and get cleaned up.
Here me out, Gabs.
Bode ran into the fire. Impulsive.
But the dude also made the difficult
but mature decision
to save himself and run out.
That's progress. Am I right?
- Yeah, it is.
- So tell him.
Just do me this, okay?
Do me this solid.
- Okay.
- Yes! Ah!
Mm. Great work out there today, mija.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks, Dad.
You hear that word, Freddy?
"Dad"?
I hear it, sir. Still can't believe it.
Listen, I heard you got some
retardant in your eye today.
Yeah.
That stuff is nasty.
Maybe we should go get that checked out.
Nah, nah, I'm-I'm good.
No, I think maybe
we should go to the hospital.
No. Seriously, Cap,
- I'm-I'm-I'm beat.
- Freddy,
you want to see your baby?
What?
He needs you
to formally complain about your eyes.
Oh. Oh!
Yes, my eyes They-they they sting.
Bad.
I can't see nothing.
Y'all blurry Chief.
Hey, when I when I first got here,
you know, I might have run
into that fire and not run out.
I just I didn't
I didn't really see my life
having much value.
But I'm starting to think that
maybe there is hope for me.
That is all I see.
Let me donate.
At-at-at least
let me move forward in the process.
I've-I've caused
so much pain to you guys.
Maybe this can even the score.
There is no score.
I can't
I can't let you do that for me.
You'd be doing it for me.
If you let me save your life,
you'd be saving mine.
Listen, Bode.
You know, I've struggled a lot with
my, uh, disappointment
in some of your choices
over the past few years but, um,
I got to tell you, I
I don't think
I've ever been more proud of you
than I am right now.
I'm headed out to meet my kid.
Cap is taking me.
Oh, and while I'm gone,
if you can get me a new Nomex?
Mine is in the laundry.
Yeah, mine is, too. Just
get new ones tomorrow.
I think you should go tonight.
Why? What's your problem, bro?
I'm heading out now.
Uh, maybe you head over
in 20, just to be safe?
Trust your boy, Bode.
She's checked out of the hospital,
and Cookie's mom's on her way up
to take her back to L.A.
But the Leones
are gonna let them stay
for a few nights.
C-Can-can I hold my daughter?
You better.
I'm gonna be in the other room.
You two have about an hour.
Oh
Oh.
Very nice of you guys to let her stay.
Oh. Yeah, well, we had the room.
Hey, listen, I want you both to know
that I signed up for overtime.
Gonna put together enough money
so I can get my own place.
Oh, don't worry about it.
There's no rush.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's crazy.
I remember when Gabriela was
born, thinking,
"You know, this is it. Got a kid now."
"Got to get your act together."
And you did.
You just, um, had a setback.
Got to give yourself a break.
Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Hey, bro. Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
You sure?
You know what I was
for Halloween when I was two?
A firefighter.
And when I was three?
A firefighter.
And four through 14?
You were still trick-or-treating
when you were 14?
Yeah.
Yeah, as a firefighter.
Eve, all I know how
to be is a firefighter.
Well, it's a good thing you're
a firefighter then.
I matched.
Hmm?
For Sharon, I matched.
Whoa. And, um
I mean, I'm I'm a firefighter
so I-I I save people.
I don't hesitate.
But you're hesitating?
Bode ran into that house. I didn't.
Well, you didn't see Harlan go back in,
and if you did,
you would have saved him.
Would I?
Hi.
Hi.
I guess, uh I guess Freddy
really wanted us to clear the air.
So do I.
I'm sorry I was
I-I don't know
Harsh, earlier.
You weren't.
And, you know, you're right.
I do need to do this for me.
So do I.
Look, I'm starting over, too.
And it's hard.
I want to impress Vince
and my dad, even this new probie.
I spend so much time
trying to impress everyone,
when I just need to impress me.
I need to stop looking
for outside approval
and just find some
self-worth inside.
You're trying to impress the new probie?
Are you jealous?
Yeah.
You shouldn't be.
Yeah, but, you know, he's free, and
I'm not.
But you will be.
In a year.
You have some pink stuff in your hair.
Oh, we can't. We can't.
I know. I know.
Mm.
We're gonna work on ourselves,
so that by the end of your sentence,
we'll be good,
and it'll be like opening up a gift.
It'll be so good.
Wait.
tell me what you see.
I see fuel.
It's a south-facing slope;
that means it's dry.
And you, Rohan?
There's snow on the ground,
so no fire danger.
Not true, Rohan. Given
the right wind conditions,
this hillside's a wildfire
waiting to happen.
Cap, you ruin nature hikes for us.
Not a nature hike, Bode,
it's a training hike,
and I need you to see all the risks.
That way, you can be prepared for 'em.
Tell you what I don't see.
Access roads for easy evacuation.
That's my boy Freddy always
looking for an escape route.
Go ahead and laugh, but Cap taught me
You walk into a fire,
you better have a way out.
Couldn't have
said it better myself, Goat.
All right, guys, let's take five.
"Marry me"?
- Excuse me?
- I like you, sir,
but I'm talking about the plane.
S
Sam? Sarah?
What if Sam or Sarah
doesn't want to get married?
Oh, that's your problem
with Cap's daughter, you know.
Fear of rejection.
I got bigger things on
my mind right now, Freddy.
Gah, gah, gah, gah. Nothing
bigger than love, brother.
Gabriela doesn't want
to have anything to do with me.
'Cause you almost beat up
that guy last week?
Yeah.
It freaked her out.
So, apologize.
Tell her you're changing.
Flutter those big baby blues.
What if she's right, though?
You know, she's probably
better off without me.
You run into fires like a superhero,
but you're gonna run away from this?
Whoa. Whoa, whoa,
what the hell?! Hey! Hey!
Green Crest, Three Rock Crew
Four. We got a new incident.
Whoa, I hope he has a parachute.
Come on, guys. Let's go find that plane.
Wow, Collin. You've had a lot
of jobs over the years.
Yeah. Uh, um, I spent most
of my twenties rebelling
against expectations.
Uh, my dad worked for Cal Fire,
so, kind of grew up in his shadow.
Oh, I met your dad a couple times.
Solid as they come.
That's what I'm told.
All right, come on.
Let me show you around.
My son, Bode, he
he resisted the calling
for a long time, too,
but he's a natural. It's in his blood.
Does he work here, too?
No. He works across town at Three Rock.
Three Rock?
Wait, isn't that a
a prison firefighting camp?
Yeah.
Is he a captain?
No, he's an inmate.
Hey! I see the pilot!
Medevac's on the way, sir.
Were there any more passengers?
Easy!
Try and stay still.
No. Just me.
All right, we're gonna get you down.
I need you to establish a position above
so we can lower him down, all right?
Hey, Cap, I-I can free-climb it.
Nah, Rohan's a doctor.
He needs to be able to check his
vitals before we bring him down.
You and Freddy head down the ridge and
see if you can spot
the wreckage, all right? Go.
Copy that, Cap.
Did you know that Rohan was a doctor?
I thought he was in for dealing drugs.
Oh. He was dealing drugs.
Hey, Shar. What
What-what are you doing here?
Well, actually,
it's Division Chief Leone.
Oh. Somebody got cleared
to come back to work.
Yeah.
The dialysis is working.
And once she gets her new
kidney, she'll be unstoppable.
Oh, when are you getting the transplant?
Okay. I don't want to talk
about my kidneys anymore,
except to say "thank you."
I know most of you gave blood
to see if you were compatible
to donate, and I don't want
to know if you're a match yet.
Uh, that way, if I see
you eating junk food
and possibly destroying
my kidney, I won't be mad.
Well, I'm not a match, so
Oh! I don't want to know.
Thank you.
Please resume eating your donut.
Vince, you gonna introduce
me to your new probie?
Uh, oh. Um
I Uh, yeah. Hi. Nice to meet you all.
Uh, my name's Collin O'Reilly.
Any relation to Kirk O'Reilly?
Who's Kirk O'Reilly?
Well, he's dead now,
but Cal Fire legend.
I mean, real badass.
Which makes Collin a nugget.
What's a nugget?
You know what a nugget is.
No, I don't.
You're a nugget, 'cause
your dad is head of Three Rock.
And anyone's parent
who's a part of Cal Fire is a nugget.
This is how you talk about us?
I mean, not to your face, but, yeah.
Thanks.
I'm having a baby.
Um now?
I'm not from here.
Um, contractions started
about 100 miles ago,
and my water broke about ten
miles ago, and now I feel like
- I feel like I have to push.
- Okay, listen.
- We can get you to the hospital, okay?
- Okay.
- Can you move?
- Here comes another contraction.
This baby's coming now.
There's no time for the hospital.
Please tell me I can do this
- because I'm scared to death.
- Just breathe.
- And, oh, here it comes.
- All right, breathe.
- Breathe.
- Vince, Sharon,
we need you in the bay!
Oh.
All right, guys, glove up.
She's right. There's
no time for the hospital.
Keep going. Slowly.
Slowly. Slowly. Good, good, good.
Easy! Easy! That's it.
That's it.
That's it. Chin up. That's good.
Here it comes! Here it comes!
Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh, good job, Mama.
Oh.
Oh, very good. Oh!
Is there someone that
we can call for you?
Yeah, call my boyfriend.
He's an inmate at Three Rock.
Okay.
Oh, man.
Air tac's reporting 400 acres,
rapid rate of spread,
moving up the hill.
I'm gonna evacuate the whole area,
before it gets bad.
Ah, it shouldn't be too tough.
It's pretty rural.
I've already established
Alpha here, and then,
Bravo, Charlie here and here.
Three Rock is cutting line there.
It's too steep for a dozer.
I need your guys
to go in and support them
with a hose lay, and then
put a lookout for spot fires.
We're gonna box the whole
thing in on all sides.
Welcome back to work.
Deliver a baby, fight a wildfire.
And look good doing it.
Manny, pin me your exact location.
I got to come talk to Freddy.
Good work, Three Rock!
Where's Freddy? Freddy, where are you?
Here, ma'am. Coming.
You all right, ma'am?
Yes. We're not here to talk about me.
Whatever you heard,
I didn't do it, and neither did Bode.
I'm glad to hear that, 'cause I
heard you got your girlfriend pregnant
in the boom-boom room
in Lancaster eight months ago.
Oh, yeah, I did do that.
Wait. How would you know?
I just helped deliver your baby.
- What?
- Yeah.
Cookie drove up here
for visiting day tomorrow,
and she went into labor halfway
between L.A. and Edgewater.
No. No, no, no.
They wouldn't send the chief
if everything was okay.
There's something wrong with my baby.
- What's wrong with my baby?!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You have a perfectly
healthy little pudge.
Boy or girl?
I'm gonna let Cookie tell you that.
You call.
Thank you.
Hose connected. Gonna lay it down.
Three
Rock's on the ridge clearing brush.
Excuse me, sir.
Hate to tell you this,
but we're evacuating the hillside.
Fire won't make it up here.
It very well could.
It won't.
I've been here 43 years, been
evacuated six or eight times.
It hasn't burned down yet.
Chief Leone. Vince.
Hey, Chief. Harlan Denbo.
Well, Harlan, we're just
up here doing our job.
Sure would make it easier if you'd
just comply with the evacuation.
How about doing your job
by helping me defend my house?
Our main priority is to protect lives.
Is there anybody else in the house
who might want to make it to safety?
Wife? Kids? Grandkids?
Just me.
Do you have someplace to go
if the fire does get here?
I'll leave when I see flames.
He doesn't see flames.
Fire's not real to him yet.
Well, I guess we got
to make it real for him.
Yeah. Let's go ahead
and try dental records, I guess.
Which one of you feels scariest today?
- Me.
- Me.
Yeah, both of you, go.
Hi. We were, uh, hoping to come
in and talk to you for a minute?
You can't come in,
- but go ahead and talk. I'm on hold.
- Well, we were
wondering if you have any copies
of your dental records.
In case things get
out of hand and we have
- to identify your body.
- You know, you could be
making sure that the fire gets put out.
Take your big old hoses
and blast that thing down to nothing.
Instead, you're up here wasting time
trying to scare an old man?
How do you spell your name?
- Sir, we
- Denbo.
- D-E-N-B-O.
- Okay, let me put you on a brief hold.
No. No, damn it,
don't put me on hold again.
It will be very brief, I promise.
Dr. Carter at Edgewater Dental
will have 'em.
And do me a favor. Since I'll be dead,
thank her for all the
excellent work over the years.
I don't think we scared him.
Hey. Cookie had a baby for real?
As real as they come.
So you're just
you're back to work now?
Yeah, and I'm feeling really good
except for this fire
tearing up the mountainside.
I got to go down.
Mom?
I'm a match.
I-I'm a match to donate my kidney.
I just found out.
You got tested? They let you give blood?
Yeah, yeah. I mean,
I still got a bunch of tests
and hoops to jump through, but
That's a really risky surgery.
I don't care.
No! No, you have to care!
You know, I held that little baby today,
and I remembered holding you
and wanting to keep you safe.
That was my job. That was my whole job.
And I haven't done it
very well, but, no,
I'm not doing this.
I am not taking your kidney.
Do you know what
"spinning the weather" means?
Spinning the
weather. No. No, I have no idea.
But I'm gonna guess it
involves spinning and weather.
Gentlemen, watch your footing!
Have each other's back
and keep your head on a swivel.
All the tools in this kit
will give us an accurate reading
on, uh, temperature, dew point,
humidity, wind speed, wind directions.
We have a wet bulb and dry bulb. Oh.
We're gonna wet it. Uh-huh. This one.
And spin it.
Okay. Mm-hmm.
So how long you been with Cal Fire?
Couple months.
What? That's it?
Thought you'd been here
for, like, years.
You'll get there.
Spin it parallel to the ground.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, which one's the chief's kid?
The one with the chainsaw.
What'd he do to get locked up?
- Does it matter?
- No.
No. I'm sorry.
You're right. It's none of my business.
My dad was an inmate.
And now he's captain of Three Rock.
People can change.
Wait. That guy's your dad?
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, so you're a nugget, too, huh?
Collin, don't step on that rock.
Seriously, don't! Oh, no.
Run!
Heads up! Rock!
Rock! Freddy!
We have to tell him.
You're gonna get in trouble.
I am the most senior firefighter here,
- okay?
- But it was me.
Collin, everyone's waiting to
see what kind of nugget you are.
So just shut up and
let me do the talking.
Perez. What the hell happened up here?
I'm so sorry, Chief.
I thought it was stable.
It was you?
Yes, sir.
Well, I shouldn't have to remind you
there's lives on the line down below.
Understood. It won't happen again.
Yeah, it better not.
Thanks for covering.
Chief.
You put two inexperienced people
at the look-out?
Yes, I did. Falling rocks
are part of the job,
so maybe you should train
your guys to look out for 'em.
Stop it. No one died.
Although someone might
if we don't get Mr. Denbo
off the mountain.
He's not going anywhere
till he sees flames.
Did you at least try dental records?
Yes, I tried dental records.
Look, that's an old song.
- Everybody up here knows it.
- Okay.
Well, since he knows the
risk, what do you think?
Do we leave him up there?
I don't like leaving him up there, no.
Okay. Then have your guys
prep the house.
My guys can prep faster than your guys.
- Have you seen my guys work?
- I have,
and I take my crew
over your crew anytime.
Manny! Vince! You are on the same team.
And I am gonna pull Manny's guys
off the hillside
to do a retardant drop, so
you can work together, nicely.
Yes, ma'am.
What is up with him?
I don't know.
One of his guys almost died,
and his daughter would
have been responsible,
and he lost his house
due to a gambling addiction?
Not having a good week.
Well, my son almost died,
my wife's got a bum kidney,
but I think I'm handling
it like a champ.
Bode matched.
He tested?
And he's a match.
Well, great Okay, that's great.
- That's awesome, right?
- No, I'm not taking it.
- You what? Sharon.
- I'm not letting my kid
who is finally getting his life together
put himself in harm's way for me.
- Chief?
- I'm not.
The hose lay is in.
What's the next assignment?
We're going to secure Denbo's house.
Yes, sir. Let's go!
We are gonna talk about this.
Yes, we will. Don't die up there.
I don't die. Neither do you.
All right, Three Rock.
Tell me what you see.
Smoke going in my lungs,
killing me, and leaving
my baby without a daddy.
Well, put your shroud
over your face, Freddy.
I don't see an escape route.
Again: dead daddy.
I'm not gonna let you die, Freddy.
Got your escape routes
already covered, all right?
Hey, why didn't you
tell me about Cookie?
I didn't want to jinx things.
- I'm really happy for you, man.
- Thanks, bro.
I am, too. Cookie's my rock.
She's getting me through this.
I'm telling you,
you need a little of what I got.
- I need a kid?
- No.
You need a stable relationship.
I have a stable relationship.
- I have you, man.
- No.
I'm a family man now.
Can't hang with the boys.
All right, hustle up, guys.
We're going to Harlan Denbo's house.
I told you. I'm not leaving.
We're here to help you prep your house.
But if the wind starts
to shift, and we get spot fires,
we're heading out.
Hope you'll come with us.
All right, set up
for structure protection.
All right, gentlemen, safety zone's just
on the other side of that ridge.
There's a dirt patch and
an access road. You got it?
- Yes, sir.
- Freddy?
Over the ridge, access road.
No dead daddies.
That's right, baby. All right, boys.
Let's cut a highway
around this house, fellas.
So, I overhead Sharon and Vince talking.
I think Bode's a match.
Well, you didn't match.
Were you relieved or disappointed?
Little bit of both. You tested, right?
Yeah. I didn't match.
- Thank God.
- Well, why "Thank God"?
You saving Sharon's life?
That makes you the hero.
And then I'm resigned to living
in your shadow the rest of my life.
Yeah, well, I hate to break it to you,
but you're already in my shadow.
You wish.
Got jokes today.
Uh, hey.
Look at that little nugget
over there sucking up to Vince.
Looks like it's working, too.
Wait. Should we be nervous,
- living in the shadow of the nugget?
- Yeah, no.
- Ready water!
- We're ready!
Hey, Freddy, sorry
about the rock shower.
Uh, my man Bode saved my life.
Well, I'm glad you're good.
He almost died.
You glad he's doing good, too?
- Freddy.
- What?
Two of you
working alongside one another.
Got an opportunity
to clear the air. Let's go.
There's no air to clear.
Yeah, we're good, Freddy.
Oh, yeah? 'Cause rumor has it
you think my man here is unsalvageable,
but I'm here to tell you,
he's a flea market find.
All he needs is a little spit polish.
Hey!
How about a little less talking,
and a little more working, please?
We're working as fast as we can.
I ran a printing shop.
I managed 20 people.
I can tell you, nobody works
as fast as they can.
Well, maybe if you stop yelling
at us, we can get back to work.
- What? What did you say?
- Hey!
Hey, whoa, whoa, back off, man.
- You back off.
- Oh, oh, hey, hey, hey.
We're on your side, bro.
Well, then, get to work.
Ooh.
Oh, why am I here? Huh?
I'm risking my life for this fool?
Freddy, just calm down, all right?
Just chill out, think about the baby.
Oh, my God. Freddy, your baby.
I totally forgot to congratulate you.
She's so cute.
You saw her?
Yeah. We all did.
I thought you knew.
Hey, guy-I've-never-seen-before,
have you seen my baby?
Freddy? Hey.
What are you doing?
- I'm going to see my kid.
- And then what?
What happens after you see the baby?
They're gonna come looking for you.
I want to be a dad to my kid,
and I can't!
You can't understand that,
Bode. None of you can!
I used to wish that my dad
would escape and come get me
and that we'd be on the run.
I'd dream of it.
But that was a child's dream,
and now that I'm grown up,
I'm glad my dad did his time right.
I just want to see my baby.
I need to see my baby.
Hey, you-you leave here,
you're walking into a fire.
Like Cap says,
you better have a way out.
You're gonna see your kid.
And, you know, when-when she grows up,
you can tell her about today
and about how you overcame this
urge to do something impulsive.
How you changed and-and grew.
And she's gonna be
in awe of you, like I am.
Thanks, bro.
I got you.
I got you, too.
But talk to her.
I'm going back.
I'm trying to change, Gab.
I-I really am, for you.
Stop trying to impress me.
You want to change?
Okay.
Do it, but do it for yourself.
Don't do it for me.
Gab.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
We got to move off the road.
What's going on?
Where are they running?
They're running away
from the fire. It's coming.
Keep going, guys.
Fire's spreading faster than I hoped.
Well, you wanted to see flames.
There they are.
Now's the time, Harlan.
Okay.
You can evacuate my wife.
Your wi
You said it was just you.
We evacuated a year ago,
and it set her back.
She's got heart failure, COPD.
She's got COPD? Man.
Harlan, this air is not good
for her lungs.
You don't think I don't know
the 16 different ways
I've screwed this up?
But until you have a dying wife,
don't come at me, okay?
All right, fellas, this fire's
growing, so keep those hoses going.
For 43 years,
I paid those premiums on time.
Two months ago, I stopped.
You got to be kidding me.
My wife's medicine's expensive.
It was the medicine,
or the homeowner's insurance.
This place goes,
I'm literally destitute.
A burden to my kid, no good to my wife.
You-you tried calling
the insurance company, and
Yeah.
Yeah, some 25-year-old told me
there was nothing they can do.
I'm gonna tell her she's leaving.
Hey! Hey.
I heard you matched.
Oh, word gets around.
It's good to see you out here thriving.
I, uh I just don't want you
to do something that you'd regret.
Like save my mom's life?
I wouldn't regret that.
No. I-I I know. Uh
Man, this is coming out all wrong.
Yeah, it is.
Bode
it's a big deal.
It's a big life decision. I mean,
there could be complications in
the surgery, or even later on.
Just think about it.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, thank you for that.
Hey, why you trying
to talk him out of it?
So what do we do?
Call Harlan's bluff?
Take the gamble that if
we evacuate, he'll follow?
- That's your call.
- I'm asking for your input.
Well, as the only guy in the room
who knows what it feels like
to lose a house,
have we done everything we can?
- Hey, Shar?
- Hey.
You said you were sending a-a
tanker with some fire retardant.
You got an ETA?
I-I talked to Mia.
Sh-She's gonna be waiting
for you at the apartment.
I'll be there soon. I'm just
gonna get some of our stuff.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I I promise.
It was the right thing to do, Harlan.
Am I gonna lose my house?
We're gonna give it everything we got.
Let's see if this slows the fire down.
You might want to take
some cover under there.
About to drop the retardant!
Copy that. Drop coming!
What is this?
Fire retardant.
It's insane!
It's also hard to wash off.
You'll be finding it
in your clothes for weeks.
This stuff stings!
Hey! I stepped on the rock, not her.
I told the chief.
- You did?
- Felt bad about it.
Oh, you're an honest nugget, huh?
That retardant wasn't enough.
Hey! Hey, we got fire on the house!
- Whoa, there's fire on the house. Hey!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Fire on the roof!
Give me all the water you got!
Put dirt on the embers,
on everything! Let's do this!
- Chief, the house is toast.
- More water!
Come on! Let's go!
Vince.
We're way past trigger points.
Do we call it?
I hate losing to a damn fire.
We haven't lost anything, man.
We still have all of our guys.
Let's keep it that way.
Sorry, Harlan. Did everything
we could. Got to go.
- My wallet's inside, my credit cards.
- It's time to go, Harlan.
I got $500
I will give you $500!
Let's go, all right?
Everybody,
to the safety zone!
Let's go! Now, now, now!
Let's go, Three Rock!
Pick it up! Pick it up!
Move it!
42 and Three Rock
heading to the safety zone.
All right, Cal Fire on the left,
Three Rock on the right.
Everyone count off.
Station 42 accounted for.
Harlan? Where's Harlan?
Hey, Cap, we're missing one.
Let me guess.
- Bode?
- Bode?
Bode, come on!
Harlan? Hello?
Harlan?!
We got to go! We got to go!
- I can't find my wallet.
- Your wallet doesn't matter.
- It's got all my money.
- Let's go!
You're gonna have to jump.
- I can't!
- Look, this house
It's gonna kill you in 30 seconds.
- Where am I gonna live?
- I heard
- that you have a daughter.
- No. She doesn't want to have
to take care of her mom and me.
You don't know that. Come on.
Just stop being stubborn
and give her a chance.
- I can't.
- Look, I-I
I can't I can't get to you. Jump!
I'm sorry.
I'm staying.
Bode?!
Bode?!
Bode?!
Bode.
I s I saw-saw him go back in,
so I followed him.
There was there was
no time to tell you.
Hey, it's okay.
- It's all right.
- I-I
I couldn't get to him.
I cou I-I I begged him
to jump, and he wouldn't jump.
And the fire was just
- I wa I was gonna die.
- It's all right.
- I didn't want I didn't want to die.
- Bode,
it's all right. You're okay, Bode.
But he's in there.
You did the right thing.
Look!
Harlan? Harlan!
Harlan! Come on, let's get him up.
We got you.
Thank you. Thank you.
We'll probably do one more water drop
before the tankers head back to base,
but it looks like the fire stopped
on the top of the ridge.
But most importantly,
everybody came off
that mountain alive today.
And seeing you all here covered in pink
makes it really hit home
that you are one crew.
You wear different uniforms,
you have different
skills, different tools,
different leaders,
but you fight the same fight.
So thank you.
And before we head home, where's Freddy?
Congratulations from
everyone at Cal Fire.
This is one hell of
a gender reveal party.
Congrats, Freddy!
Attaboy, Freddy.
Hey, Papa Freddy!
All right, let's go home
and get cleaned up.
Here me out, Gabs.
Bode ran into the fire. Impulsive.
But the dude also made the difficult
but mature decision
to save himself and run out.
That's progress. Am I right?
- Yeah, it is.
- So tell him.
Just do me this, okay?
Do me this solid.
- Okay.
- Yes! Ah!
Mm. Great work out there today, mija.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks, Dad.
You hear that word, Freddy?
"Dad"?
I hear it, sir. Still can't believe it.
Listen, I heard you got some
retardant in your eye today.
Yeah.
That stuff is nasty.
Maybe we should go get that checked out.
Nah, nah, I'm-I'm good.
No, I think maybe
we should go to the hospital.
No. Seriously, Cap,
- I'm-I'm-I'm beat.
- Freddy,
you want to see your baby?
What?
He needs you
to formally complain about your eyes.
Oh. Oh!
Yes, my eyes They-they they sting.
Bad.
I can't see nothing.
Y'all blurry Chief.
Hey, when I when I first got here,
you know, I might have run
into that fire and not run out.
I just I didn't
I didn't really see my life
having much value.
But I'm starting to think that
maybe there is hope for me.
That is all I see.
Let me donate.
At-at-at least
let me move forward in the process.
I've-I've caused
so much pain to you guys.
Maybe this can even the score.
There is no score.
I can't
I can't let you do that for me.
You'd be doing it for me.
If you let me save your life,
you'd be saving mine.
Listen, Bode.
You know, I've struggled a lot with
my, uh, disappointment
in some of your choices
over the past few years but, um,
I got to tell you, I
I don't think
I've ever been more proud of you
than I am right now.
I'm headed out to meet my kid.
Cap is taking me.
Oh, and while I'm gone,
if you can get me a new Nomex?
Mine is in the laundry.
Yeah, mine is, too. Just
get new ones tomorrow.
I think you should go tonight.
Why? What's your problem, bro?
I'm heading out now.
Uh, maybe you head over
in 20, just to be safe?
Trust your boy, Bode.
She's checked out of the hospital,
and Cookie's mom's on her way up
to take her back to L.A.
But the Leones
are gonna let them stay
for a few nights.
C-Can-can I hold my daughter?
You better.
I'm gonna be in the other room.
You two have about an hour.
Oh
Oh.
Very nice of you guys to let her stay.
Oh. Yeah, well, we had the room.
Hey, listen, I want you both to know
that I signed up for overtime.
Gonna put together enough money
so I can get my own place.
Oh, don't worry about it.
There's no rush.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's crazy.
I remember when Gabriela was
born, thinking,
"You know, this is it. Got a kid now."
"Got to get your act together."
And you did.
You just, um, had a setback.
Got to give yourself a break.
Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Hey, bro. Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
You sure?
You know what I was
for Halloween when I was two?
A firefighter.
And when I was three?
A firefighter.
And four through 14?
You were still trick-or-treating
when you were 14?
Yeah.
Yeah, as a firefighter.
Eve, all I know how
to be is a firefighter.
Well, it's a good thing you're
a firefighter then.
I matched.
Hmm?
For Sharon, I matched.
Whoa. And, um
I mean, I'm I'm a firefighter
so I-I I save people.
I don't hesitate.
But you're hesitating?
Bode ran into that house. I didn't.
Well, you didn't see Harlan go back in,
and if you did,
you would have saved him.
Would I?
Hi.
Hi.
I guess, uh I guess Freddy
really wanted us to clear the air.
So do I.
I'm sorry I was
I-I don't know
Harsh, earlier.
You weren't.
And, you know, you're right.
I do need to do this for me.
So do I.
Look, I'm starting over, too.
And it's hard.
I want to impress Vince
and my dad, even this new probie.
I spend so much time
trying to impress everyone,
when I just need to impress me.
I need to stop looking
for outside approval
and just find some
self-worth inside.
You're trying to impress the new probie?
Are you jealous?
Yeah.
You shouldn't be.
Yeah, but, you know, he's free, and
I'm not.
But you will be.
In a year.
You have some pink stuff in your hair.
Oh, we can't. We can't.
I know. I know.
Mm.
We're gonna work on ourselves,
so that by the end of your sentence,
we'll be good,
and it'll be like opening up a gift.
It'll be so good.
Wait.
