1 (ELECTRONIC BEEPING) (ICONA POP AND SOFI TUKKER'S "SPA") SINGER: Naked bodies everywhere I'm okay, you can stare I mean, he was trying to cheat off of me in Ethics class.
Okay, it's like, "You bring a whole new meaning to the term 'oxymoron.
'" (LAUGHTER) You're hilarious, Elise.
Hey.
Are you thirsty? I could use a beer.
CHAD: Get me one too, yeah? Okay, yeah.
So, uh you're really feeling Elise, huh? (LAUGHS) Come on.
Velma from Scooby-Doo, bro? Elise is a is a four.
She's not even an Austin four.
She's a Waco four.
Now, her friend Janessa over there? She's a Dallas nine.
I mean, not even I can go straight at a nine.
So I gotta let the nine get a little thirsty while I lavish the butterface four with attention.
Give Janessa an hour and two hard seltzers, and she'll be begging to take whatever I feel like giving her.
It's called the triangle offense.
Well, it certainly is offensive.
Um, Spence, you wanna go play beer pong, man? Yeah, definitely.
Spa is hot as balls anyway.
- BRETT: Yup.
- Have fun, ladies.
(GROANS) It is a little warm in here.

Well, I appreciate that.
Um, but this is the ugliest cake - I've ever seen.
What - (LAUGHTER) Why why does it look like this? - It's your tumor.
- It's my tumor? It's your tumor a year ago.
When it was bad.
I gave your scans to the bakery.
(CHUCKLES) I objected.
Okay, I'm (CHUCKLES) I'm both repulsed and moved.
Um, and, uh, I'm at a loss.

It's cool you did.
Thanks for being here, babe.
Hey, free tumor cake.
(CHUCKLES) So how are things at home now that she decided to stay? Suspiciously calm and reasonable, but we'll see how long that lasts.
Why would you say that? Because I've met them.
I think they're in their honeymoon period.
Those can last a while.
SINGERS: Can you do it, can you do the cool jerk Speaking of parents, when am I gonna meet yours? You want some more punch? Um (UPBEAT SOUL MUSIC) GRACE: Tell me, friend, what are you doing all the way back here? Just taking it all in.
It's hard being back, isn't it? Honestly, Gracie, it's been hell.
Oh, no, ma'am.
Now, you tell me who's been giving you a hard time.
I'm gonna have Judd come in here and beat 'em up, okay? Unless it is Judd.
Then you leave it to me.
- I got you.
- Judd's been my champion.
And honestly, I couldn't ask for a nicer group of folk.
No, it's just, the last time I had on this uniform, my girls didn't exist.
Ah.
It was easy to completely be present in my job.
And now You're thinking about the babies.
Oh, I'm feeling guilty Guilty for not being there, guilty for maybe not really being here.
Judd says you've been doing amazing.
Yeah, well, maybe you should ask my crew that.
- Oh.
- I'm not sure they know what to make of me yet.
Listen, just gotta give 'em a little time to get to know you.
That's it.
You are impossible not to love, Tommy Vega.
- Impossible.
- (BOTH LAUGH) I'm glad you think so.
(BOTH LAUGH) (MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING) Knock, knock.
Come in.
You haven't touched your tumor cake.
You don't like it? It's growing on me.
(CHUCKLES) I see what you did there.
You skipped out on your own party.
I didn't skip out.
You skipped out, and now you are hiding out.
I'm not hiding.
My name is on the door.
How could that be hiding? I just wanted some time to savor the moment.
Wow.
Well, your version of savoring looks an awful lot like brooding.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I-I got great news.
Everyone I love on the planet is here to support me and celebrate the news.
I'm good.
Owen, you know what happens over time if you keep things bottled up.
Well, if it's like wine, it gets better.
(SIGHS) Nothing's bottled up.
(LOW FUNKY MUSIC) ANNOUNCER: Don't forget, golfers, score a hole in one on the 18th hole and win a Paradise sundae! (SIGHS) Honey, you seem tense.
I-I'm not tense.
Why would you say I'm tense? JESSICA: You've repositioned your ball five times like it's the 18th hole of the Masters, and you've had a knot in your jaw since you got that call from work.
- Did they say anything? - Well, today isn't about work.
It's about fun! Family fun.
(CHUCKLES) (EXHALES HEAVILY) (TENSE MUSIC) So let's have some fun.
(CHUCKLES) (DEMONIC LAUGHTER) JESSICA: He didn't get it.
Damn you, stupid devil! It's not fair! Can't even win my son a sundae! (CRYING) Is Daddy crying? No, son.
No, no, no.
I-I'm of course Daddy's not crying.
Baby, why don't you just go putt-putt over here? Okay? For Mommy.
- (SIGHS) - JESSICA: Victor, what's wrong? (SOMBER MUSIC) What's wrong is, I have commercial real estate gathering dust all over town because of stupid COVID.
Okay.
What's wrong is, we're officially broke.
What? That call I got, it was from the bank, refusing to give me a bridge loan.
We're gonna lose the house.
How long? How long have you known that we were in trouble? Five months.
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm the one who's sorry.
That you've had to keep this all bottled up inside you for so long.
You don't hate me? Course not.
We're gonna get through this with or without a house.
Oh, wow.
I didn't realize just how much tension I was carrying around till I let it out.
You can't hold all that in.
It's gonna come out one way or another.
(BOTH LAUGH) (STEAM HISSING) - What is that? - What is that? I don't know.
VICTOR: I hope I didn't break the thing.
(BOTH LAUGH) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Hey, what is that? Oh, my God.
Rory, Rory! Come on, this way, this way, this way! Get back! (WOOD CREAKING, GROUND RUMBLING) (SCREAMS) RORY: Dad! - JESSICA: Victor! - VICTOR: Jessica! (METALLIC GROANING) (DEMONIC LAUGHTER) JESSICA: (GASPS) Oh, my God! (GASPS) (SCREAMS, SOBS) (ELECTRONIC BEEPING) MARJAN: What the hell are we looking at? - Well, it ain't methane.
- OWEN: Nope.
Smells like the Earth cut a giant fart.
OWEN: Yeah, that's the sulfur.
What are we saying, that a hellmouth opened up under Paradise Family Fun Center? After the year we've had, would it really surprise you? Nope.
That's about on schedule.
PAUL: Underground hot springs, maybe? OWEN: Maybe.
(PEOPLE COUGHING) RORY: I don't feel good.
TOMMY: Headache? Does your tummy hurt like your mommy? Okay, baby, we're gonna fix you up.
Is my daddy gonna die? Don't worry, bud.
Nobody's gonna die today.
I promise.
We got the best team of firefighters over there working on him right now.
Let's get that little man on O2.
Monitor for pulmonary edema.
Triage anyone that breathed in that stuff.
Copy that, Cap.
(SIREN WAILING) Here we go.
Gonna put this right over your face.
PAUL: SO2 is off the charts.
70 ppm, Cap.
OWEN: Victor! Victor, can you hear me? (TENSE MUSIC) I think I see movement.
It's hard to tell.
TK: He probably passed out from the SO2 or maybe from the heat.
Steam's hot, Cap.
230 degrees.
All right, Judd, bring the rig as close as you can.
Marjan, get ready.
You're going in.
Get a rescue grab.
MARJAN: I get to rappel into that? TK: "Get to," that's an interesting choice of words.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) That's as far as she'll go, Marjan.
OWEN: Hold tight.
Sending you in.
Lower her down.
Nice and slow.
How you feel up there? Kind of like a rotisserie chicken.
Keep coming.
Keep coming.
Keep coming.
And right there! Victor, my name's Marjan.
I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? (GROANS) Victor, can you hear me? He's alive, Cap.
- All right.
- VICTOR: (GROANING) Victor, I'm gonna wrap this around you.
And then our team is gonna pull us out of here, all right? Temp's spiking, 350! Believe me, I can feel it.
You're all strapped in.
You can let go now.
(GROANS) I can't.
Yeah, you can.
You're strapped into a harness.
- Here, just - (SCREAMS) - Okay? - (SCREAMS) - Ooh.
Uh - Marwani, what's your status? I'm working on it, but he's a little melty! He's what? MARJAN: His flesh is seared to this thing.
Drop me a saw.
I can travel him with a piece of this devil's head.
370, Cap! OWEN: No time! You'll both cook! I don't care if you use a spatula.
Scoop up what you can and get him out of there now! Okay, okay.
Sorry in advance, Victor.
Okay, on three.
One Now, Cap, now! - Let's go! Bring him up! - (SCREAMING) OWEN: Bring him up! Bring him up! Bring him up! Bring him up! Bring him up! Bring him up! - MARJAN: (GRUNTS) - VICTOR: (SCREAMING) Let's get him on fluids.

(GENTLE MUSIC) Thank you.
- RORY: Daddy! - JESSICA: Victor! Dad.
- (EXHALES HEAVILY) - OWEN: Good job, Marwani.
Thanks, Cap.
You okay? You almost got boiled.
Ah, just blanched.
Plus, my pores feel fantastic.
OWEN: It's like nature's schvitz.
All right, let's bed the ladder - (AIR WHOOSHING) - MARJAN: Whoa! All right, everybody fall back! (TENSE MUSIC) Hey, I told y'all that wasn't methane.
MATEO: Yeah? Then what the hell is it? A volcano on the southern edge of Austin, once thought to be extinct, has only been dormant, scientists are now telling us You don't say.
REPORTER: When what geologists are calling a volcanic fissure opened up underneath Paradise Family Fun Center.
But scientists warn this could be just the beginning.
Pilot Knob off Highway 183 is part of a magmatic system several miles in diameter that's been inactive since the late Cretaceous period.
Today it woke up.
How is this real life? Tim, can I see you for a sec? ROSEWATER: Cap, it's a volcano.
Please.
Yeah, Cap, what is it? Out in the field, you promised that little boy that his dad was gonna be fine.
And he was, thank God.
But you're not God.
You can't do that.
What if it had gone the other way? - But it didn't.
- But it could have.
I wasn't thinking; I just wanted to make him feel better.
No, you wanted to make yourself feel better.
Don't do it again.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (SIGHS) So do we think this whole thing's gonna blow? CHRIS: I'll, uh, let Dr.
Limaye of the U.
S.
Geological Survey answer that one.
I know when one thinks "volcano," one pictures a conical mountain spewing lava and ash.
Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm trying not to picture.
But Pilot Knob proper is essentially extinct.
It's the system around it that's become active: volcanic material that's been bottled up for millions of years.
The magma that's moving underground is looking for a way out, and it's finding it.
Do we know when it's gonna come up next? The airport's out by Pilot Knob and neighborhoods.
CHRIS: All flights out of Austin-Bergstrom have been grounded, and we're contacting the residents, evacuating strategically.
How strategic can you be? LIMAYE: We're using the seismic activity we've been seeing to track the movement of the magma underground.
So what can we expect? LIMAYE: More of what you already saw, Captain: lava flows up to 35 miles per hour; semi-molten volcanic ejecta, or lava bombs; curtains of fire hotter than 2,100 degrees.
So what you're saying is, every crack could become a mass casualty event.
Potentially, yes.
Check it, and then double-check it.
Then check it again.
I don't want any surprises out there today.
What, besides the active volcano? Maybe I should pack the all-weather gear in case it starts raining blood next.
A little locust repellant wouldn't be a bad idea either.
See that? Rallying the troops with quippy quips? That's what a real leader does.
That's what a Marvel character does.
In the meantime, where's our rallying? Where's our captain? You're just mad because she called you out.
No.
Maybe a little.
Fine.
I shouldn't have told that kid his dad was gonna be okay.
I slipped up.
I get the instinct.
You wanna comfort people in their worst, scariest moment.
And that's a part of the gig.
But not by making promises you can't keep.
All right, but still, I could use a little rallying.
Michelle may not exactly have been a motivational speaker, but she could do more than just criticize.
Give Captain Vega a break.
She's been out of the game for a while.
She's got little kids.
Michelle had a missing sister.
She was a walking episode of Unsolved Mysteries, but she still managed to find the time for the occasional "attaboy.
" You have a tiny point.
(SIREN WAILING) (TENSE MUSIC) We're just checking to see if you received the text from the mayor's office ordering the evacuation of your neighborhood.
If you need assistance evacuating, I have a number I can text you.
CHAD: You've reached Chad's phone.
Dude, why you calling me? Who does that? You know I don't listen to messages.
Text me, dude.
Yeah, we did text you, dude.
You don't respond to either one.
- (PHONE RINGS) - 9-1-1.
What's your emergency? Help.
I'm trapped.
Is there a reason you're speaking softly, ma'am? Is there someone making you feel in endangered? Uh not exactly someone.
(GASPS) Ah! Huh.
Scorpions.
I'm sorry, did you say "scorpions"? Yes, scorpions.
Like the water sign.
That's definitely not the call I was expecting to get today.
Where are you? I am inside my food truck.
Okay, and how many scorpions we talking? I don't know, like Like, swarms or hives or You know, just, like, a butt-ton of whatever they travel in.
I was doing inventory.
I turned around, and they were just here.
It's like, I think they're running from something.
GRACE: Hold on.
Are you near a window? Yes, yes.
Okay, take a look outside for me.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
What the hell? Lava? Yeah.
Uh, how how is that possible? You haven't been watching the news, have you? No, I've been doing inventory and listening to meditation tapes.
GRACE: Well, keep 'em handy.
Um, okay.
I see where you are.
What's your name? LILY: Lily.
Please send help.
GRACE: Okay, Lily, listen to me.
My name is Grace.
Now, I do have blocked roads in your area, and I'm not sure how long it's gonna take for me to get first responders to you.
So so I'm I'm on my own? No, ma'am.
I'm right here with you, okay? Now, do you have a jacket or a blanket, something you can use to cover yourself - to help you get to an exit? - Uh, no.
No, there's nothing.
I'm, like I'm I'm on top of the counter, and they're literally all over the floor.
Can you describe 'em to me The scorpions? LILY: They're, uh, yellowy-tan.
They got little stripes on their back.
With a triangle on their head? Yeah! Yeah, that's bad, isn't it? GRACE: We're gonna get you out, okay? But we cannot risk you getting stung.
Is there any chance at all you have bug spray? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a roach coach, so I've got roach killer, but it's, like, on the other side of the trailer.
Oh, my God! Um, okay.
It's, uh Yeah, yeah, the the lava, it's getting closer and hotter.
Oh, my God.
I'm gonna die, aren't I? Not as long as you're talking to me.
We're gonna figure something out, okay? Now, what kind of truck are you in? LILY: It's an '05 step van.
Mm-mm, food truck.
Like, what do you serve? What what, do you wanna hear the menu? Seriously? We're, um We're called Guac and Roll, and we do vegan Tex-Mex.
Okay, please tell me you serve salads, Lily.
LILY: Yeah.
Why? All right, what kind of dressing do you have? LILY: Uh, we have cashew ranch, um, chipotle carrot, tahini lime.
Oh, my God! It's all right.
Try to stay with me.
What else you got? Uh(STAMMERS) Cilantro vinaigrette.
- Um - Okay, that.
Can you make it to the vinaigrette? Yeah, yes, yeah the The bottle, it's right here.
Okay, is it in a spray bottle? No.
We don't, like That's okay.
What about your griddle? Do you use one to clean it? Yes, yeah, we totally do.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Take the dressing.
Put it inside the bottle, okay? Do it quickly.
All right, okay, it's in there.
GRACE: Now let those critters have it.
My resources say they hate the acetic acid in vinegar.
Get out of here.
Get out of here, you ugly bastards! Ha! Oh, my God.
(GASPING) Oh, your resources are amazing! (CHUCKLES) It's Wikipedia.
It's working? Yes.
Yes, it's working.
It's totally working.
(GRUNTS) Okay.
Okay.
(METALLIC CRASH) You, uh You don't think the vinegar will work on the lava too, do you? - (KNOCK AT DOOR) - CARLOS: Ma'am? We should go.
Oh! There's an officer here! Now.
Okay, go with him.

Yeah, we're scared.
Oh, no.
No.
Why are you scared? They saw the news.
Ah, well, you do not need to be scared.
No, babies.
You are far away from what's happening.
You're totally safe with your daddy.
We're not worried about us.
We're worried about you.
We don't want you to burn up in the lava.
Oh, no, I'm not gonna burn up.
- But you don't know that.
- Yes, she does.
Paramedics only come in after the dangerous part is over.
Right? Right.
Promise? I promise.
You see, girls? I told you.

But help's here.
She tried to help Chad out of the water.
I tried to stop her, but she's a really good person.
Airway's clear, but pulse is thready and temp's dropping.
- What's your friend's name? - Elise.
Elise, I know it hurts, but that's the good news.
It means the tissue is still alive.
We're gonna give you something for the pain, and we're gonna wrap you up with some clean gauze, okay? Start an IV; push 5 milligrams of morphine and D5.
Do you think you can finish triaging the rest of the patients - while we package her? - Sure thing, Cap.
You're gonna be okay, Elise, okay? They got you.

So I'll still be able to walk, right? Tim? Promise me I'll walk.
I can't promise something I don't have the power to keep, Spence, but we're gonna do everything we can to avoid doing any more damage.
Could you (VOICE BREAKING) Could you call my mom? They'll call her from the hospital, buddy.
Please, please, could you call her? Tell her Spence loves her.
Maybe don't tell her I got stampeded at a frat party, okay? Could you just tell her I was studying or something? You injured yourself studying? Gonna have to do better than that, kid.
Please, I'm not used to lying to her.
She's gonna see this on the news.
Please.
ROSEWATER: All right.

Okay.
(SOMBER MUSIC) - (SIGHS) - Thank you guys for everything.
(EXPLOSION) (SCREAMS) He's hit! (TENSE MUSIC) Nancy! I need you with me! Here.
Easy.
Oh, God! (GASPING) We have to extract it.
Here? Cap, that's impossible.
We don't, it cooks his heart.
But if we take it out, he'll bleed to death.
Not if the heat from the rock cauterized everything around it.
- But what if it didn't? - We don't have a choice.
Look.
Damn thing's sinking into him.
Clamp now.
It's melting.
Get me another one.
(GRUNTS) It's melting too.
- I'm losing it.
- (EXPLOSION) - Cap, I don't have a pulse.
- Screw it.
Get the laryngoscope with a pediatric 2-blade.
It's not for me.
Get in there.
Now.
- I got it.
- Got it? - Go! - (GASPS) It's all good.
Nice scoop.
Three summers at Avery's Ice Cream.
(BOTH LAUGH) SPENCE: Just drag me out of here, please! When I do it, I'm gonna do it right.
Hey, firefighter, help me transfer Sorry, Captain Strand.
I didn't realize it was you.
No problem.
All right, grab his shoulders.
ROSEWATER: Captain Strand, this is my buddy Spence.
He injured himself on the waterslide.
At least that's what I'll be reporting to his (EXPLOSION) ROSEWATER: (GRUNTS) (PANTING) SPENCE: Tim? Tim! Tim? Thank you.
That was quick.
They didn't ask me many questions.
Just what I saw.
It didn't feel like we were in trouble.
Yeah, why would anyone be in trouble? It was a freak accident.
I don't know, I guess maybe I always feel like I'm in trouble.
Hey, this ain't your fault.
This this is I mean (CLEARS THROAT) This ain't nobody's fault.
I wonder if they notified his family yet.
His family's in Maryland.
He came out here to go to UT.
And he ended up staying.
He was supposed to go see them this summer, but then the lockdown happened.
I think it's been two years since he's been home.
Why did we leave him there? Why? We wouldn't have done that with anybody else.
OWEN: Because.
When one of us gets killed on a call, another house comes in and takes care of it.
It's what we do.
It's protocol.
Heroic measures Right up to the hospital doors.
(VOICE BREAKING) That's how we've been trained.
We don't call it in the field.
We should've stayed, and we should've been working on him.
There wasn't enough of him left to work on, Nancy.
I'm sorry.
As you were told upstairs, there are people you can talk to That you should talk to.
Department's gonna make those resources available.
I'm calling this shift.
Everybody go home.
Is he okay? Are any of us? Feels weird to just leave.
We still have, like, 11 hours to go.
Yeah, but that's protocol too.
They got the next crew here already.
Yeah, but what about the volcano REPORTER: Geologists say seismic activity has begun returning to pre-eruption levels.
Officials are cautiously optimistic that the worst is over, leaving Austin with quite a mess to clean up and a deadly reminder that sometimes even Mother Nature needs to let off steam.
Maybe now she can keep it bottled up for another couple million years.
OFFICIAL: Thank you, Captain Vega.
We'll take care of it.
May I? Yeah.
How you doing? I managed to get through that without weeping.
That's good.
If you need to weep now, don't mind me.
They're sending a captain from the Baltimore FD to inform the family.
That's good.
It should be me.
What, you gonna fly out to Baltimore? This this was a mistake.
- What? - Thinking I could come back.
I I've been a terrible leader.
I lost a member of my team today.
I didn't even know him.
You ain't even been here a month yet, T.
That's no excuse.
The only real interaction I had with him was today When I scolded him.
- Did he merit it? - That's not the point.
- That is the point.
- No.
I called him out for making promises to a patient.
And then I did the same thing With my girls.
I lied to them, Judd.
They were terrified for their mother being out there in the middle of all of that, and I told them not to worry, that everything was gonna be fine.
That ain't lying to your girls.
Look, your girls are eight years old.
You told 'em what they needed to hear.
You're very good at that.
- You think so? - I do think so.
You told me I needed to marry Gracie, didn't you? Doesn't take a genius.
Ain't nobody calling you a genius.
Look, I know that (SIGHS) If the world hadn't fallen off of its axis, you wouldn't be in that chair.
But it did, and you are.
And I think that's where you wanna be.
I don't wanna feel like I've abandoned my family.
You haven't.
You You added to it.
(SOFT MUSIC) Hey.
He was obsessed with Buster Keaton.
Is that weird? TOMMY: He looked a little like him.
I never noticed that before.
I got a call from the hospital.
The young man Tim was treating, he's gonna walk again.
Thank you for telling me that.
Tim was a good EMT.
He was weird, but he was a good EMT.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Nancy our loss.
Oh, no.
Buster.
Keaton? His cat.
Who's gonna feed his cat? Okay.
All right.
(SIRENS WAILING FAINTLY) Hey.
When'd you get home? Few minutes ago.
You know, one of the best things about being in remission is, I can drink my tequila.
It's a little early, isn't it? Early for you.
Late for me.
Hmm.
Beautiful, isn't it? Yes, um but probably not the best idea to breathe in volcanic ash.
What's the worst thing that could happen? I could get more cancer? Yes, actually.
One of our paramedics died today.
Oh, Owen.
I wasn't five feet from him.
One minute, he was alive.
Next (SNAPS FINGERS) He wasn't.
(SOMBER MUSIC) Just like last time.
I remember the ash and the dust that day.
It didn't Didn't look beautiful like this.
Well, I'm glad you're okay.
Oh.
(LAUGHS) I was always gonna be okay.
You don't need to worry about me.
I'm invincible, evidently.
You know, when I got lung cancer in New York First thing I felt? Relief, that the universe had finally evened the score for me making it out that day.
Everything made sense.
Now that I'm in remission, nothing does.
SINGER: I heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you And it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing "Hallelujah" Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah - (INSECTS CHIRPING) - Come on, JJ.
You got this, man.
Just prove 'em all wrong.
Don't just prove it to them.
Prove it to yourself, all right? You wanna eat? Just keep it steady.
Come on.
(IN ELDERLY VOICE) "Camp Great Oak "is not a punishment, my dear child.
It's the greatest opportunity yeah.
" (BLOWING FORCEFULLY) No, no! Come on.
Yeah, it's an opportunity to starve.
That's what it is.
