Fire Country (2022) s03e02 Episode Script
Firing Squad
1
(ALARM WAILING)
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
GIL (OVER RADIO): We've
got embers the size of baseballs
dropping near this fuel
Gil, what's the damage over there?
Gil!
Fire must've finally hit that fuel.
Got Kenji out just in time.
Eddie? Gil?
What's your status over there?
They were managing that fuel spill.
I'm going to them.
Right behind you.
I'm coming, too.
Bode's gonna do what he wants,
consequences be damned, right?
(SIREN WAILING)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
That explosion looked like
it was 200 yards away.
- Yeah. Right where 42 is working, yeah?
- Exactly.
Looking healed, Perez. Let's go.
Keep me up updated on Gabriela.
On everybody.
- I will.
- Please.
SHARON: Vince, talk to me.
Copter's fuel tank got hit by embers
where the cockpit crashed
in the woods south of Smokey's.
Far as I know, only Eddie and Gil
were in the vicinity of the blast.
We're over on the Delta side
about 150 yards from them.
Okay. Keep me updated.
Hey, we can keep
the brush fires under control,
but the fire from the explosion
is gonna keep spreading.
That's why I need you
to go meet Three Rock.
Need you guys to box this thing
in before it gets away from us.
Copy that. Here, take over.
Nice.
Hey. I hitched a ride
back from the hospital.
Look, we had had these
spot fires nearly beat.
- What happened?
- Well, this fire's a whole new dance.
We'll need to get closer
in order to tackle it.
So, let's redirect the resources
over to the Charlie side
where the fuel tanks blew.
Get me some water from here to there,
maybe run a line up the right flank.
Okay, a hose stretched up
the right flank, on it.
Let's go, boys. Right flank.
The cockpit's back this way.
EDDIE: Hey! (COUGHS)
Gil was standing next to the fuel tank
when the embers hit.
And boom!
(GROANS)
We'll find him.
Diego will get you into
the first rig out of here.
Bode should take him.
Bode's not a medic. You and I are.
Eddie needs a medic
and Gil, wherever he is,
he's gonna need one, too.
You and I need to split up.
(EDDIE COUGHING)
I got you, Eddie.
Let's go. (EDDIE COUGHS)
Protocol says we wait
for hoses before we go in.
But they're all the way
on the Delta side.
Gil got blasted cleaning up a
hazard to keep all of us safe.
We don't wait.
You read my mind. Let's go.
Gil!
Gil!
The explosion could've thrown him.
(METAL CREAKS)
Bode! (GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
BODE: Gil. Over there.
Over there. Gil!
Hey. Hey.
Gil. Hey.
Oh. Okay.
Found Gilmore. He's barely conscious.
Perez? Where are you?
Back by the cockpit.
Bode's with me. You can yell at us later
but right now we need hoses
and a go-three ambulance.
Yeah, we're trying
to make our way to you,
but fire's got us cut off,
so keep Gil alive till we get there.
Okay.
(COUGHS)
Where's Eddie?
Diego's got him.
And we've got you now.
You're alert and awake, good.
(COUGHS) Don't feel
too good.
Yeah, smoke's too thick.
(ELECTRICITY POPS)
Let's move him over there.
Support his neck.
(GROANS)
- BODE: Ready?
- GABRIELA: Yes.
All right.
We're gonna need a break in this fire
if we're gonna have any chance
of getting over to them at the copter.
Yeah, no, we're also
gonna need more manpower
in order to get a deep line cut
to make sure the fire doesn't
spread across the county.
Three Rock, stay with me! Let's go.
VINCE: And there she is.
Always ahead of the game.
Well, you know, they saved camp
so we could save Edgewater.
Let's do it again, boys.
- One, two.
- ALL: Three Rock.
To the left, gentlemen. Let's move.
(BODE GRUNTING)
- BODE: Underneath?
- GABRIELA: Uh-huh.
There it is.
Come on.
He's breathing, but unresponsive.
Got the scissors.
Okay, cut his shirt off
so I can put these leads on.
VINCE: All right, let's
cut these flames down,
make a path to the crash site.
Give me one and a half inch
cross lay. Let's go.
JAKE: I need another hose over here.
Heart rate's racing. BP's dropping.
Come on, Gil.
Stay with me. (COUGHS)
We're gonna need a hose
on the Charlie side.
Fire's on the move.
(GIL COUGHS, CHOKES)
He's not getting enough oxygen.
VINCE: Step it up. We
got our own people in there.
(MACHINE BEEPS)
No. That's not normal, Bode.
BODE: What do we do now?
Bode, I made a mistake.
What is it?
VINCE: Good work, guys.
Look at that. It looks like
we're knocking it down.
Yeah. There's our opening.
Let's get in there.
Got an opening! We're going in!
(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)
GABRIELA: Over here.
We need to get him in an ambulance now.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
♪
Let's go. Move.
♪
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
That was a hell of a save, you two.
If anyone finds out what we did
out there before 42 got to us
We saved Gil's life.
He's going home to his wife and
kids because we
pulled him out of a fire.
I know. I know.
And-and-and I know that
Gil's gonna be fine.
I'm just still worried.
What we did out there, stays out there.
We're the only two people who know,
and we're gonna keep it that way.
It's you and me, Gabs.
♪
("WAGON WHEEL" BY DARIUS RUCKER PLAYING)
(EVE LAUGHS)
It's our old karaoke jam.
(LAUGHS)
Now rock me ♪
Mama, like a wagon wheel ♪
Rock me, mama, any way you feel ♪
Hey ♪
- Mama, rock me ♪
- EVE: Here we go, gents.
ALL: Five. Six. Seven.
Rock me, mama, like the wind
and the rain ♪
Rock me, mama,
like a southbound train ♪
Hey ♪
- Mama, rock me ♪
- Hey, yo, Vince!
We're distracting Jake.
Give us your best Darius Rucker
impression. (LAUGHS)
Not gonna happen.
Oh, okay. Cool. Great.
- Bode.
- Yeah?
Guess what?
Your mom and Luke made it happen.
Got you a shot at
the Edgewater Training Program.
That's What?
Hold up. That's insanely good.
How'd you do that?
JAKE: Oh, okay, wait.
Wait. This program started
three months ago.
I mean, I start training the
cadets for Phase Two tomorrow.
Uh, the few who actually passed
their Phase One final exam.
VINCE: Yeah.
Say hello to your new cadet.
He's gonna take that same test
as his entrance exam.
EVE: So, Bode's
professional future rests
- in Jake's hands?
- Uh, no.
I don't, I don't like that.
- (LAUGHS)
- VINCE: No, no, no. Not exactly.
Jake's gonna administer the test.
Head of the program will grade it.
It's-it's gonna be a big day tomorrow.
(LAUGHS)
Yes. It's a big day tomorrow, so
EVE: Yeah.
You know,
go to bed.
At least sing on key.
Ooh.
(BODE AND EVE LAUGH)
EVE: Okay, we'll try it
one more time for you.
- EVE: Oh, rock me ♪
- Congrats.
- Mama, any way you feel ♪
- Okay.
You know, it's like spring
break 2009 in my living room.
Except for this time,
they're not even trying to hide the fact
that they're stealing my beer.
(LAUGHS)
I would do anything to go
back to spring break 2009,
before all the mistakes
that were waiting for Bode.
- Hey, I'm gonna tell him to go to bed.
- No, no.
Vince, come on. Bode's 31 years old.
We can't parent him anymore,
or over-parent him.
Same goes for Jake.
What do you mean, Jake?
Come on, I know you want to get in
on this paternity thing with Rick,
but you can't.
They are (SIGHS)
they are not kids anymore.
No, they are adults.
Dancing in my living room.
Come on, they're supposed to be dancing.
And having fun.
- But (SIGHS)
- No, no. It's
Really, it's a muscle memory, right?
I mean, we spent so much time
making sure that he worked the program
to get out of Three Rock,
but he's out now.
Yeah.
Still kind of hard to believe, huh?
(GRUNTS) And now
we have to get out of this
habit of hovering and
figure out what's next for us.
You mean, like (INHALES)
next, right now?
Like, immediate future?
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
What did the judge say?
It's all good news.
Nobody wants to waste the
court's time with a trial.
So my lawyer's gonna ask
for a fine, long probation,
- and no jail time.
- Oh.
Thank God.
I mean, you would've heard it
yourself if you didn't just walk out.
Want to tell me why?
It's a mystery to you why I couldn't
watch my father getting an arraignment?
Well, I mean, come on.
Wouldn't be the first time.
That's exactly why.
The first time, you were
my dad who made a mistake.
You got arrested, arraigned, locked up.
And I made peace with it.
And then you were my father who got out.
And stayed out. You stayed sober.
You became a firefighter.
You became a captain.
Watching you face prison time again
because of your own stupid impulses
I-I couldn't watch.
I'm sorry.
I'm ashamed.
For putting you through this ever.
Never mind twice.
And I'm also sorry
for the example that I set.
'Cause I've been wondering
how I could raise a daughter
who could walk out on a man
that she's trying to build a life with.
And I don't blame you,
I blamed your mom for that.
- For teaching you how to leave.
- Uh
But I know I'm not a
saint. I know (STAMMERS)
Are you equating me breaking up
with my fiancé
with my mother abandoning us
and your prison sentence?
No.
(STAMMERS) That's not
how we treat people.
So you'd rather me
- get married when I didn't want to?
- No.
No, I'd rather you figure
out that you didn't want to
before you said yes to the ring.
Mija, but I get it.
I mean, I know it's hard
to look at your mistakes
No.
I am not gonna be judged
by the person that I just
- bailed out.
- I'm not gonna judge. I'm not judging you.
Go find your own ride home.
(GRUNTING)
(BEEPS) And time.
Okay.
Two minutes and 13 seconds.
- Good time, James.
- Yes.
But what do you have to say
for not radioing your crew
when you found the patient?
Suck on that, losers.
No. Not losers.
Crew, team, family.
Remember, Cadet.
The point of blackout training is
to hone your search-and-rescue
skills in zero visibility.
It is not a competition.
BODE: It's not you.
In Superman-mode, Jake's not
capable of compliments.
Everyone,
this is Bode Leone.
And he will be testing to join us
in Phase Two.
Phase Two?
(SCOFFS) What about Phase One?
What about the worksheets
and all the boring crap we sat through?
JAKE: This is Audrey James.
And that is a question you're
not entitled an answer to.
Cadets on the line.
Now.
Welcome to the practical phase
of the Edgewater Training Program.
The get-your-hands-dirty phase,
or, as I like to say, "the fun phase."
You are the best former
inmate firefighters in the county.
But there are ten of you, and only six
probie spots open on the entire unit.
You do the math.
Take 30 and report back
for a firing squad.
Dismissed.
Firing squad?
Who's getting shot?
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, well, that'd be you, B.
Walk with me.
You know, I like the new look.
Regulations for a firefighter, right?
Okay.
Your entrance exam will be an oral one.
- You know what a hot wash is, yeah?
- Yeah.
Yeah, postmortem of an incident.
Well, you will hot-wash an incident,
in front of me, the head of the program,
and all the cadets
that are gunning for
the same spots you are.
They are invited to challenge
your knowledge on the incident,
taking shots at you like a
Firing squad.
They've all hot-washed
incidents that they shadowed.
I haven't shadowed anything.
Well, you'll present
the helicopter explosion fire.
You were basically Gabriela's
right hand the whole time.
- Great.
- (SIGHS) Look,
the head of the program he's tough.
You earn points for remembering
everything accurately,
but you lose them
for not admitting mistakes,
or not knowing what you should
have done differently,
or even just forgetting a detail.
Listen, if your score gets too low,
you're out.
Are you sure you're ready for this?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
Make me proud.
Hey, uh
I got a shot at the Edgewater
Training Program today.
Why don't you look like
that's great news?
(SCOFFS) Well
my entrance exam is a hot wash
of the helicopter explosion fire.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING) No.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
Bode, I made a mistake.
What is it?
I thought that was behind us.
Yeah. Me, too.
- But now
- Your future
as a firefighter hangs
on you presenting an analysis
of what we did out there with Gil.
Bode, what are you gonna do?
(SIGHS)
I'm gonna stick to the report.
Everything in the report is true.
I'm worried about
what isn't in the report.
I did this to him.
I-I I could've killed him!
No, you-you saved him.
They're gonna poke holes in everything.
That's the deal with hot washes.
Uh, every move that we made out there
was to save Gil's life.
And that's what we did. (BEEPING)
I never saw it, you never saw it.
(BEEPING)
VINCE: Bode? Perez?
GABRIELA (ECHOING): Over here!
(SIGHS)
I'm gonna be late.
Jake's a hard-ass training captain.
You're presenting to Jake?
Jake-Jake knows you.
If you lie, Bode,
he's gonna be able to tell.
Gabriela, I'm I'm not gonna lie.
But Jake doesn't need
to know everything.
All right, gentlemen,
this is our last stop
before we head back to camp. Good job.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
MRS. RENKIN: Hey! Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
Oh, hello. I'm, um, Captain Edwards
with, uh, Three Rock Conservation Camp.
We're just doing some
complimentary brush clearing.
The state doesn't get
to invade my private property.
Yeah, but your overgrown
landscaping is a fire hazard.
Mm-hmm. Hmm. Would you like it
if I let myself into your home
to point out the dirty dishes?
- Um
- Now,
I would be rude,
and I would be trespassing!
EVE: Well (LAUGHS) Listen, ma'am.
Fire, uh, doesn't care
about property lines.
Wait. Did you say "Edwards"?
- Mm-hmm.
- Huh. You're the Edwards kid, huh?
That chose the badge
- over the ranch?
- EVE: Um,
yeah, I don't I don't see
how that's relevant.
Well, I know your family wouldn't stand
for this BS on their land.
And I don't have to, either.
Okay, cool. Um, yeah,
we were just trying to help.
You've got ten minutes to vacate
or I'm calling the sheriff.
Ten minutes!
All right. You guys, you heard her.
Yeah, let's move. Thank you.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Perez's sideways intubation was risky,
but it kept the pilot alive.
"Risky" is not a word we like to hear.
Go on.
You've got the attention of the Head
of the Edgewater Training Program.
Don't squander it.
Uh, after the explosion,
we worked on Gilmore.
Don't refer to him by his name.
He's the patient, not your buddy.
Let's keep it professional.
JAKE: Okay.
Give us an up-and-down on the patient.
An up-and-down?
AUDREY: Yeah.
One thing the firefighters did
right, one thing they did wrong.
It's a little something
we learned in Phase One.
Before your time.
BODE: Well, we, uh
we saved the patient's life.
So, that's an up.
And as for a down?
Uh
we broke protocol by
by running in to look for him
before the water arrived.
- Good.
- Breaking protocol is good?
Look, this isn't (EXHALES)
a gotcha exercise.
We hot-wash an incident
to analyze the after action report.
To learn, or in this case,
to get into Phase Two.
Go ahead. What happened next?
Well, after that was, uh
was a big up.
We found him.
- Got the scissors.
- GABRIELA: Cut his shirt off
so I can put these leads on.
(PANTING)
All right.
That's gonna do it.
BODE: Patient's vitals were
were okay, at first.
Then they
fell off a cliff. (RAPID BEEPING)
GABRIELA: Heart rate's racing.
BP's dropping. (GIL GASPING)
When we moved him,
we could have exacerbated
- his internal bleeding, or
- We hadn't moved him away
- from the fire, we'd have all died.
- We would. We just
have to keep him alive now.
BODE: It was pretty crazy
with the patient's life at stake, but
- Perez was all over it.
- JAKE: Good.
Good. Keep going.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES) Oh, no, no, no!
Why are you empty-handed?
Where are my onion rings?
- Smokey's is still closed.
- Oh, come on.
It's been a week since the crash.
They can't turn on a grill?
It's boarded up.
Oh.
However
I have been thinking
about what you said.
You know, what's next for us.
Oh, I'm listening.
Ready?
Vacation.
Ah. I've never met her.
But I was thinking we could
I don't know, go to a beach?
(LAUGHS)
You hate sand.
And the sun.
And I can't sit still.
Yeah. All true.
Have we been so consumed with fires
and parenting for so long
that we don't know how to want
anything for ourselves anymore?
No, because that would make us old.
I will keep thinking.
BODE: We really thought
we were on top of the situation,
but the patient got worse
before he got better.
We had no idea why.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
Form a tight seal over his mouth.
Squeeze once every five seconds.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
(RAPID BEEPING)
(LOUD, DRONING BEEP) GABRIELA: No.
No.
He-He's in asystole!
Come on.
(LOUD, DRONING BEEP)
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
(SLOW, STEADY BEEPING)
Okay, we've got a rhythm,
but he's still bradycardic.
He needs atropine.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Okay.
If this doesn't work, I don't know
what's else there is to do out here.
His numbers are rising.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING)
Okay.
BODE: Once he was stabilized
we could take a breath, too.
We thought we were in the home stretch,
but, uh
(STEADY BEEPING)
Is that a rash?
Oh, no. That's not normal, Bode.
(GIL WHEEZING)
Neither is that. (RAPID BEEPING)
- What do we, what do we do now?
- He's not getting enough oxygen.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're losing him.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
(SIGHS) (DOOR CLOSES)
AMIS: We don't want to take up
any more of your time, Mr. Prosecutor,
so I'll make this quick.
Neither party here wants a trial,
and given my client's exemplary
record in the community,
a plea deal seems the most appropriate.
NEHRU: Three years
hard time, take it or leave it.
Quick enough for you?
What, three years in prison
for one punch?
(SCOFFS) This is a joke,
right? I mean, come on,
you said no jail time.
(EXHALES)
You can't offer the max
and call it a deal.
MANNY: I-Is it because of my record?
'Cause you know
that was expunged, right?
This is exorbitant. You can't
Look, Sacramento's
watching this one. Closely.
I have no wiggle room.
What, the governor? Wh-Why?
Well, starting a fight
and a fire ten feet away
from their boss
didn't sit well with her staff.
This is totally unethical.
Three years or go to trial.
See how that works out.
♪
BODE: Despite our best efforts,
the patient suffered a
potentially fatal allergic reaction.
(STEADY BEEPING)
BODE: What's going on?
GABRIELA: He needs an epi.
(GIL WHEEZING)
(RAPID BEEPING)
The bag, I-I don't know,
it's-it's not working.
He's still in anaphylaxis.
The epi's not working fast enough.
(WHISPERS): Watch out. All right
Okay.
His throat is closing up.
I can't tube him.
He needs a needle crike.
You want to cut
into his throat out here?
So I can get oxygen to his lungs.
He can't breathe without one.
(WHISPERS): Okay.
You okay?
This is just dangerous
to do in the field.
How can I help?
Support his neck.
BODE: So I supported his neck,
and Perez started the procedure.
We need some popcorn up in here.
(QUIET LAUGHTER)
SHARON: I'm so
sorry to hear that.
Do me a favor?
Let me be the one to tell Vince.
Thanks.
I called Lou to try and sweet-talk him
into giving me some onion
rings, and he told me
he's selling Smokey's.
He can't afford to make the repairs
after the helicopter crash.
Selling to who?
Some soulless vegan chain.
No. Mm-mm.
Nothing vegan pairs well with
a ice-cold beer after a fire.
This is why it has been a haven
for firefighters for generations.
Vince is gonna be devastated.
Did you want to talk to me
about something?
Yeah, have you ever met Mrs. Renkin?
Oh, I know Renkin.
Ooh, did you try to cut her brush?
She would not like that.
Yeah, that happened,
and she recognized my name,
and, uh, called me "the Edwards
"that disappointed their entire family
choosing firefighting over ranching."
She said all that?
Well, she implied it. But, you know,
everybody in town,
they open the doors for us,
they buy us coffee
and treat us like heroes.
Yes, but not Renkin.
(SIGHS) Or my family.
Well, you can be in your
feelings about your family.
Don't you give Renkin one more thought.
She is just the Queen Grinch
of Edgewater.
I think Vince is gonna steal that title
after he hears that Smokey's is selling.
♪
(SIGHS)
Three years?
Is that true?
Mm-hmm.
Three years.
Did your lawyer even try
to move your sentence to Three Rock?
Yeah.
It's a no-go.
D.A. is, and I quote, "immovable."
So I started Yelping prisons.
You know that's an actual thing?
People actually Yelp prisons.
Which lockups will let you
bring in your own toothbrush
or which ones have, you know,
the least itchy uniforms.
You know, the one that Bode was at,
now, that one, that one's rated
five shanks.
The hell does that even mean,
five shanks?
Are you more or less likely
to get stabbed?
Eh, I guess I'm about to find out, huh?
You know you still got
another option, right?
And what's that, Chief?
Jump bail? Head for the border?
- Become a Canadian?
- Go to trial.
Come on, Manny, listen,
they probably got you on the battery,
but the-the endangerment charge,
you can fight that.
Do you even know
what a decent trial attorney
even costs these days?
Ain't cheap.
But hey, silver lining.
There's an empty locker for Bode now.
Oh, man.
Was a good run.
Just, uh
Just a little short, right?
Too damn short.
Perez then completed the needle crike.
(STEADY BEEPING)
And we were finally able
to get oxygen to the patient.
And that, uh,
that concludes everything in the report.
The crike worked.
And then 42 rolled up
with the waterworks and
we got out of there.
Perez told the medics everything
that, everything that we knew.
PEREZ: Gil had a severe reaction
to a single dose of atropine,
so he's probably allergic.
You need to tell the ER.
Got it.
Okay.
Good.
Now
question time.
AUDREY: You were at Three Rock,
right?
I got a buddy over there.
Big Mike.
We crossed on a couple calls.
BODE: Yeah.
Love Big Mike.
Yeah. He's the best.
I did give him a call
during the break we had
before we got started.
Just doing my homework
to ask him some questions
about this incident you worked with him,
and he said that he
saw you in the woods.
BODE: Yeah, uh, no, they were, uh
Three Rock was there cutting line.
He also said he saw you
and Runaway Bride arguing.
Said it looked pretty heated.
GABRIELA: No. No, no.
AUDREY: Wanted me to check on
you, make sure you're doing all right
now that you're out.
That was nice of him.
What was the fight about?
JAKE: Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT)
What was the fight about?
Now you're shy, Johnny Bravo?
It's Bode.
We're all ears, Bode.
I'll tell them.
This part is not in
the after action report,
so it's not part
of Bode's hot wash.
But we did argue.
Um, the needle crike that saved Gil,
in order for it to succeed,
you want to connect
the patient to 100% oxygen.
We couldn't do that because
we didn't have an oxygen tank
because Bode forgot one.
It was a mad dash to grab the supplies.
I told him to grab it, he didn't.
So (CLEARS THROAT)
doing the crike without
it rattled my nerves.
What's this? (MONITOR BEEPING)
Bode, I made a mistake. What is it?
Gil's wearing a medical alert necklace.
It says he's allergic
to atropine, which is exactly
what I gave him. I did this to him.
I-I
How could I have missed this?
I I missed it, too.
- I could have killed him.
- No, you-you saved him.
Once Gil was safe,
I snapped at Bode.
When the ER doctors
see this necklace,
I have to explain to them
why I cut a completely unnecessary hole
into this man's body because
I didn't do a proper assessment.
I-I I'm wearing a wedding dress.
They're going to question
my state of mind.
Internal Affairs will take my job.
I screwed up.
I deserved it.
GABRIELA: No, it was my fault.
I'm the medic.
BODE: This was never here.
No. No, no.
What's gonna happen when
Gil wakes up and says that
- he had one on?
- Uh
I-It came off in the explosion.
I never saw it.
You never saw it.
I never saw the necklace.
VINCE: Bode! Perez!
GABRIELA: Over here.
We need to get him in an ambulance now.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
All right, cadets, that's a day.
Expect my grading report by tomorrow.
JAKE: Okay, everybody, be
ready to drill in the early a.m.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Clarkson always eviscerates
the cadets he's going to fail.
Congrats, B.
You're in.
VINCE: All right, we are gonna
go talk to the D.A. together.
So, what, you think that's gonna
make a difference, if we're together?
Oh, you thought I meant just you and me?
We rounded up some family
who are more than happy
to stand up for you.
Come on in.
SHARON: For you.
Come here, big dawg.
What is this?
Just a group of dedicated
public servants
who believe in Manny Perez.
We're prepared to give
statements, sign affidavits,
give sworn testimony,
whatever it takes to help him.
He's a good man.
VINCE: And a hell of a firefighter.
I can't let him off the hook just
because he's a good firefighter.
Well, you know, D.A.s
always get a bad rap.
People forget that
you're a public servant,
just like us.
Just like Manny here.
VINCE: We're not saying he's innocent.
We're just asking you to
put politics aside.
Do what's fair.
I mean
that is the job, isn't it?
This is for both of you.
A cake for getting into the program?
- And?
- Uh
For avoiding prison?
SHARON: What was the verdict in the end?
Twelve months, all to be
served at Three Rock.
And with Bode now training at 42,
we're all gonna be
fighting fires together again.
So, congrats. (SHARON CHUCKLES)
How about I just make it
through my first day?
(SHARON LAUGHS) You're
gonna make it through your
You're gonna make it through
your first day, boy, come on.
SHARON: Hey, you want
to know a big surprise?
Uh, you got your old job back.
Not really a surprise.
No, that's my news, not a surprise.
Here goes. Um, Lou is selling Smokey's.
Yeah, that's not much
of a surprise, either.
I mean, even with insurance,
all that damage,
that's a lot to overcome.
Who's-who's even gonna buy it?
Yeah, a faceless corporation,
and we can't have that.
No. That would suck.
'Cause what's Edgewater
without Smokey's, right?
Oh, we are on the same page.
So I put in a bid over asking,
and I bought Smokey's.
Okay. You know how you always wanted to
go camping in Yosemite?
I bought an Airstream for us.
It's a fixer-upper.
- So
- Oh, my goodness.
So is Smokey's.
Okay, so now we know what's next for us.
- Yeah, bottomless debt.
- No, no.
Two giant projects,
neither of which are Bode.
EVE:
Here to replenish the stash, everybody.
All right, Vince, I need you
to embrace two words:
micro and brew.
- Say less.
- EVE: Come on, get you some.
(EVE AND SHARON LAUGH)
I hope I wasn't too discouraging today
about Mrs. Renkin.
No, not discouraging, it was motivating.
You know, I went home,
did some homework.
Have you heard of, uh,
fire-educated communities?
Mm-hmm, I think so.
Well, it's a community agreement
where the neighbors hold
each other accountable
- for their fire safety.
- Ah.
So when Renkin's trash is threatening
to burn down the whole neighborhood
The neighborhood will set her straight,
and then I can get in there
with Three Rock
and do my little fire prevention thing.
Ooh!
Hey. What's wrong?
Your face is not giving
celebration vibes, that's for sure.
You know I'm shipping
out tomorrow, right?
I got the memo.
My dad's going to prison. Hoo-ray.
Going to Three Rock, mija.
That's different.
Okay.
What's the matter with you?
Every available firefighter in Edgewater
showed up for me yesterday.
And you weren't even there.
I gave Diego his ring back.
It's over.
And I keep waiting for you to apologize
so that I can tell you
what a mess I am about it.
I thought you showing up
to this party meant that
you were ready to apologize to me.
I came to support Bode.
All right.
Happy incarceration, Dad.
♪
EVE: And you're liking
that microbrew, it's true.
SHARON: Uh-huh.
Hey. You all right?
(SIGHS) Look, I'm sure
it's tough seeing your dad
going back to Three Rock.
I'm sorry.
He's acting like it's nothing.
Like like I disappointed him.
Yeah, I been there.
To be fair, though,
I probably deserved it.
Maybe I do, too.
I feel awful for breaking Diego's heart.
For missing Gil's necklace,
and for hiding what we did from Jake.
(SIGHS)
Yeah, well Well, it sucked.
Truly.
But it's done.
Now we-we can get rid of the necklace,
if that's what you want,
and then it'll be done done.
You still have it? Why?
I pocketed it in the moment.
I thought we should decide
what to do with it together.
But you
You've been dealing with a lot, so
(STAMMERING): What
are we gonna do with it?
We could destroy it.
Say all's well that ends well,
and move on.
Or we can turn it in.
We started this together.
You and me, Gabs.
So how do we end it?
Jake.
You left me on read, dude.
Rick.
- You avoiding me?
- No.
Maybe.
Look, the way that
Gen talks about you
The way that she looks at you
You're her dad.
I can't touch that.
But if, biologically, I am her father,
I don't need you to text me
permission to tell her the truth.
I'm on a flight back home
to see my kids tonight,
who are pretty great and very
well could be Gen's siblings.
So when the paternity test comes back,
we'll tell her together.
Whoa, wait, you need to slow down.
- You don't get to just decide.
- Or I will tell her myself.
Your choice, Crawford.

Keep me up updated on Gabriela.
On everybody.
- I will.

SHARON: Vince, talk to me.
Copter's fuel tank got hit by embers
where the cockpit crashed
in the woods south of Smokey's.
Far as I know, only Eddie and Gil
were in the vicinity of the blast.
We're over on the Delta side
about 150 yards from them.
Okay. Keep me updated.
Hey, we can keep
the brush fires under control,
but the fire from the explosion
is gonna keep spreading.
That's why I need you
to go meet Three Rock.
Need you guys to box this thing
in before it gets away from us.
Copy that. Here, take over.
Nice.
Hey. I hitched a ride
back from the hospital.
Look, we had had these
spot fires nearly beat.
- What happened?
- Well, this fire's a whole new dance.
We'll need to get closer
in order to tackle it.
So, let's redirect the resources
over to the Charlie side
where the fuel tanks blew.
Get me some water from here to there,
maybe run a line up the right flank.
Okay, a hose stretched up
the right flank, on it.
Let's go, boys. Right flank.
The cockpit's back this way.
EDDIE: Hey! (COUGHS)
Gil was standing next to the fuel tank
when the embers hit.
And boom!

We'll find him.
Diego will get you into
the first rig out of here.
Bode should take him.
Bode's not a medic. You and I are.
Eddie needs a medic

You and I need to split up.

All right.
We're gonna need a break in this fire

gonna need more manpower

It's a mystery to you why I couldn't

Well, I mean, come on.
Wouldn't be the first time.
That's exactly why.
The first time, you were
my dad who made a mistake.
You got arrested, arraigned, locked up.
And I made peace with it.
And then you were my father who got out.
And stayed out. You stayed sober.
You became a firefighter.
You became a captain.
Watching you face prison time again
because of your own stupid impulses
I-I couldn't watch.
I'm sorry.
I'm ashamed.
For putting you through this ever.
Never mind twice.
And I'm also sorry
for the example that I set.
'Cause I've been wondering
how I could raise a daughter
who could walk out on a man
that she's trying to build a life with.
And I don't blame you,
I blamed your mom for that.
- For teaching you how to leave.

But I know I'm not a
saint. I know (STAMMERS)

No.

Okay.

Suck on that, losers.
No. Not losers.
Crew, team, family.
Remember, Cadet.
The point of blackout training is
to hone your search-and-rescue
skills in zero visibility.
It is not a competition.
BODE: It's not you.
In Superman-mode, Jake's not
capable of compliments.
Everyone,

And he will be testing to join us

Now.
Welcome to the practical phase
of the Edgewater Training Program.
The get-your-hands-dirty phase,
or, as I like to say, "the fun phase."
You are the best former
inmate firefighters in the county.
But there are ten of you, and only six
probie spots open on the entire unit.
You do the math.
Take 30 and report back
for a firing squad.
Dismissed.
Firing squad?
Who's getting shot?
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, well, that'd be you, B.
Walk with me.
You know, I like the new look.
Regulations for a firefighter, right?
Okay.
Your entrance exam will be an oral one.
- You know what a hot wash is, yeah?
- Yeah.
Yeah, postmortem of an incident.
Well, you will hot-wash an incident,
in front of me, the head of the program,
and all the cadets
that are gunning for
the same spots you are.
They are invited to challenge
your knowledge on the incident,
taking shots at you like a
Firing squad.
They've all hot-washed
incidents that they shadowed.
I haven't shadowed anything.
Well, you'll present
the helicopter explosion fire.
You were basically Gabriela's
right hand the whole time.
- Great.
- (SIGHS) Look,
the head of the program he's tough.
You earn points for remembering
everything accurately,
but you lose them
for not admitting mistakes,
or not knowing what you should
have done differently,
or even just forgetting a detail.
Listen, if your score gets too low,
you're out.
Are you sure you're ready for this?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
Make me proud.
Hey, uh
I got a shot at the Edgewater
Training Program today.
Why don't you look like
that's great news?
(SCOFFS) Well
my entrance exam is a hot wash
of the helicopter explosion fire.
(RHYTHMIC BEEPING) No.

Bode, I made a mistake.
What is it?
I thought that was behind us.
Yeah. Me, too.
- But now
- Your future
as a firefighter hangs
on you presenting an analysis
of what we did out there with Gil.
Bode, what are you gonna do?
(SIGHS)
I'm gonna stick to the report.
Everything in the report is true.
I'm worried about
what isn't in the report.
I did this to him.
I-I I could've killed him!
No, you-you saved him.
They're gonna poke holes in everything.
That's the deal with hot washes.
Uh, every move that we made out there
was to save Gil's life.
And that's what we did. (BEEPING)
I never saw it, you never saw it.

If you lie, Bode,
he's gonna be able to tell.

But Jake doesn't need
to know everything.

What do you think you're doing?
Oh, hello. I'm, um, Captain Edwards
with, uh, Three Rock Conservation Camp.
We're just doing some
complimentary brush clearing.
The state doesn't get
to invade my private property.
Yeah, but your overgrown
landscaping is a fire hazard.
Mm-hmm. Hmm. Would you like it
if I let myself into your home
to point out the dirty dishes?
- Um
- Now,
I would be rude,
and I would be trespassing!
EVE: Well (LAUGHS) Listen, ma'am.
Fire, uh, doesn't care
about property lines.
Wait. Did you say "Edwards"?
- Mm-hmm.
- Huh. You're the Edwards kid, huh?
That chose the badge
- over the ranch?
- EVE: Um,
yeah, I don't I don't see
how that's relevant.
Well, I know your family wouldn't stand
for this BS on their land.
And I don't have to, either.
Okay, cool. Um, yeah,
we were just trying to help.
You've got ten minutes to vacate
or I'm calling the sheriff.
Ten minutes!
All right. You guys, you heard her.
Yeah, let's move. Thank you.

Perez's sideways intubation was risky,
but it kept the pilot alive.
"Risky" is not a word we like to hear.
Go on.
You've got the attention of the Head
of the Edgewater Training Program.
Don't squander it.
Uh, after the explosion,
we worked on Gilmore.
Don't refer to him by his name.
He's the patient, not your buddy.
Let's keep it professional.
JAKE: Okay.
Give us an up-and-down on the patient.
An up-and-down?
AUDREY: Yeah.
One thing the firefighters did
right, one thing they did wrong.
It's a little something
we learned in Phase One.
Before your time.
BODE: Well, we, uh
we saved the patient's life.
So, that's an up.
And as for a down?
Uh
we broke protocol by
by running in to look for him
before the water arrived.
- Good.
- Breaking protocol is good?
Look, this isn't (EXHALES)
a gotcha exercise.
We hot-wash an incident
to analyze the after action report.
To learn, or in this case,
to get into Phase Two.
Go ahead. What happened next?
Well, after that was, uh
was a big up.
We found him.
- Got the scissors.
- GABRIELA: Cut his shirt off
so I can put these leads on.
(PANTING)
All right.
That's gonna do it.
BODE: Patient's vitals were
were okay, at first.
Then they
fell off a cliff. (RAPID BEEPING)
GABRIELA: Heart rate's racing.
BP's dropping. (GIL GASPING)
When we moved him,
we could have exacerbated
- his internal bleeding, or
- We hadn't moved him away

Good. Keep going.

(DOOR CLOSES) Oh, no, no, no!
Why are you empty-handed?
Where are my onion rings?
- Smokey's is still closed.
- Oh, come on.
It's been a week since the crash.
They can't turn on a grill?
It's boarded up.
Oh.
However
I have been thinking
about what you said.
You know, what's next for us.
Oh, I'm listening.
Ready?
Vacation.
Ah. I've never met her.
But I was thinking we could
I don't know, go to a beach?
(LAUGHS)
You hate sand.
And the sun.
And I can't sit still.
Yeah. All true.
Have we been so consumed with fires
and parenting for so long
that we don't know how to want
anything for ourselves anymore?
No, because that would make us old.
I will keep thinking.
BODE: We really thought
we were on top of the situation,
but the patient got worse
before he got better.
We had no idea why.

Oh, no. That's not normal, Bode.
(GIL WHEEZING)
Neither is that. (RAPID BEEPING)
- What do we, what do we do now?
- He's not getting enough oxygen.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're losing him.

AMIS: We don't want to take up
any more of your time, Mr. Prosecutor,
so I'll make this quick.
Neither party here wants a trial,
and given my client's exemplary
record in the community,
a plea deal seems the most appropriate.
NEHRU: Three years
hard time, take it or leave it.
Quick enough for you?
What, three years in prison
for one punch?
(SCOFFS) This is a joke,
right? I mean, come on,
you said no jail time.
(EXHALES)
You can't offer the max
and call it a deal.
MANNY: I-Is it because of my record?
'Cause you know
that was expunged, right?
This is exorbitant. You can't
Look, Sacramento's
watching this one. Closely.
I have no wiggle room.
What, the governor? Wh-Why?
Well, starting a fight
and a fire ten feet away
from their boss

This is totally unethical.
Three years or go to trial.
See how that works out.

BODE: Despite our best efforts,
the patient suffered a
potentially fatal allergic reaction.
(STEADY BEEPING)
BODE: What's going on?
GABRIELA: He needs an epi.
(GIL WHEEZING)
(RAPID BEEPING)
The bag, I-I don't know,
it's-it's not working.
He's still in anaphylaxis.
The epi's not working fast enough.
(WHISPERS): Watch out. All right
Okay.
His throat is closing up.
I can't tube him.
He needs a needle crike.
You want to cut
into his throat out here?
So I can get oxygen to his lungs.
He can't breathe without one.
(WHISPERS): Okay.
You okay?
This is just dangerous
to do in the field.
How can I help?
Support his neck.
BODE: So I supported his neck,
and Perez started the procedure.
We need some popcorn up in here.
(QUIET LAUGHTER)
SHARON: I'm so
sorry to hear that.
Do me a favor?
Let me be the one to tell Vince.
Thanks.
I called Lou to try and sweet-talk him
into giving me some onion
rings, and he told me
he's selling Smokey's.
He can't afford to make the repairs
after the helicopter crash.
Selling to who?
Some soulless vegan chain.
No. Mm-mm.
Nothing vegan pairs well with
a ice-cold beer after a fire.
This is why it has been a haven
for firefighters for generations.
Vince is gonna be devastated.
Did you want to talk to me
about something?
Yeah, have you ever met Mrs. Renkin?
Oh, I know Renkin.
Ooh, did you try to cut her brush?
She would not like that.
Yeah, that happened,
and she recognized my name,
and, uh, called me "the Edwards
"that disappointed their entire family
choosing firefighting over ranching."
She said all that?
Well, she implied it. But, you know,
everybody in town,
they open the doors for us,
they buy us coffee
and treat us like heroes.
Yes, but not Renkin.
(SIGHS) Or my family.
Well, you can be in your
feelings about your family.
Don't you give Renkin one more thought.
She is just the Queen Grinch
of Edgewater.
I think Vince is gonna steal that title
after he hears that Smokey's is selling.

(SIGHS)
Three years?
Is that true?
Mm-hmm.
Three years.
Did your lawyer even try
to move your sentence to Three Rock?
Yeah.
It's a no-go.
D.A. is, and I quote, "immovable."
So I started Yelping prisons.
You know that's an actual thing?
People actually Yelp prisons.
Which lockups will let you
bring in your own toothbrush
or which ones have, you know,
the least itchy uniforms.
You know, the one that Bode was at,
now, that one, that one's rated
five shanks.
The hell does that even mean,
five shanks?
Are you more or less likely
to get stabbed?
Eh, I guess I'm about to find out, huh?
You know you still got
another option, right?
And what's that, Chief?
Jump bail? Head for the border?
- Become a Canadian?
- Go to trial.
Come on, Manny, listen,
they probably got you on the battery,
but the-the endangerment charge,
you can fight that.
Do you even know
what a decent trial attorney
even costs these days?
Ain't cheap.
But hey, silver lining.
There's an empty locker for Bode now.
Oh, man.
Was a good run.
Just, uh
Just a little short, right?
Too damn short.
Perez then completed the needle crike.
(STEADY BEEPING)
And we were finally able
to get oxygen to the patient.
And that, uh,
that concludes everything in the report.
The crike worked.
And then 42 rolled up
with the waterworks and
we got out of there.
Perez told the medics everything
that, everything that we knew.
PEREZ: Gil had a severe reaction
to a single dose of atropine,
so he's probably allergic.
You need to tell the ER.
Got it.
Okay.
Good.
Now
question time.
AUDREY: You were at Three Rock,
right?
I got a buddy over there.
Big Mike.
We crossed on a couple calls.
BODE: Yeah.
Love Big Mike.
Yeah. He's the best.
I did give him a call
during the break we had
before we got started.
Just doing my homework
to ask him some questions
about this incident you worked with him,
and he said that he
saw you in the woods.
BODE: Yeah, uh, no, they were, uh
Three Rock was there cutting line.
He also said he saw you
and Runaway Bride arguing.
Said it looked pretty heated.
GABRIELA: No. No, no.
AUDREY: Wanted me to check on
you, make sure you're doing all right
now that you're out.
That was nice of him.
What was the fight about?
JAKE: Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT)
What was the fight about?
Now you're shy, Johnny Bravo?
It's Bode.
We're all ears, Bode.
I'll tell them.
This part is not in
the after action report,
so it's not part
of Bode's hot wash.
But we did argue.
Um, the needle crike that saved Gil,
in order for it to succeed,
you want to connect
the patient to 100% oxygen.
We couldn't do that because
we didn't have an oxygen tank
because Bode forgot one.
It was a mad dash to grab the supplies.
I told him to grab it, he didn't.
So (CLEARS THROAT)
doing the crike without
it rattled my nerves.
What's this? (MONITOR BEEPING)
Bode, I made a mistake. What is it?
Gil's wearing a medical alert necklace.
It says he's allergic
to atropine, which is exactly
what I gave him. I did this to him.
I-I
How could I have missed this?
I I missed it, too.
- I could have killed him.
- No, you-you saved him.
Once Gil was safe,
I snapped at Bode.
When the ER doctors
see this necklace,
I have to explain to them
why I cut a completely unnecessary hole
into this man's body because
I didn't do a proper assessment.
I-I I'm wearing a wedding dress.
They're going to question
my state of mind.
Internal Affairs will take my job.
I screwed up.
I deserved it.
GABRIELA: No, it was my fault.
I'm the medic.
BODE: This was never here.
No. No, no.
What's gonna happen when
Gil wakes up and says that
- he had one on?
- Uh
I-It came off in the explosion.
I never saw it.
You never saw it.
I never saw the necklace.
VINCE: Bode! Perez!
GABRIELA: Over here.
We need to get him in an ambulance now.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
All right, cadets, that's a day.
Expect my grading report by tomorrow.
JAKE: Okay, everybody, be
ready to drill in the early a.m.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Clarkson always eviscerates
the cadets he's going to fail.
Congrats, B.
You're in.
VINCE: All right, we are gonna
go talk to the D.A. together.
So, what, you think that's gonna
make a difference, if we're together?
Oh, you thought I meant just you and me?
We rounded up some family
who are more than happy
to stand up for you.
Come on in.
SHARON: For you.
Come here, big dawg.
What is this?
Just a group of dedicated
public servants
who believe in Manny Perez.
We're prepared to give
statements, sign affidavits,
give sworn testimony,
whatever it takes to help him.
He's a good man.
VINCE: And a hell of a firefighter.
I can't let him off the hook just
because he's a good firefighter.
Well, you know, D.A.s
always get a bad rap.
People forget that
you're a public servant,
just like us.
Just like Manny here.
VINCE: We're not saying he's innocent.
We're just asking you to
put politics aside.
Do what's fair.
I mean
that is the job, isn't it?
This is for both of you.
A cake for getting into the program?
- And?
- Uh
For avoiding prison?
SHARON: What was the verdict in the end?
Twelve months, all to be
served at Three Rock.
And with Bode now training at 42,
we're all gonna be
fighting fires together again.
So, congrats. (SHARON CHUCKLES)
How about I just make it
through my first day?
(SHARON LAUGHS) You're
gonna make it through your
You're gonna make it through
your first day, boy, come on.
SHARON: Hey, you want
to know a big surprise?
Uh, you got your old job back.
Not really a surprise.
No, that's my news, not a surprise.
Here goes. Um, Lou is selling Smokey's.
Yeah, that's not much
of a surprise, either.
I mean, even with insurance,
all that damage,
that's a lot to overcome.
Who's-who's even gonna buy it?
Yeah, a faceless corporation,
and we can't have that.
No. That would suck.
'Cause what's Edgewater
without Smokey's, right?
Oh, we are on the same page.
So I put in a bid over asking,
and I bought Smokey's.
Okay. You know how you always wanted to
go camping in Yosemite?
I bought an Airstream for us.
It's a fixer-upper.
- So
- Oh, my goodness.
So is Smokey's.
Okay, so now we know what's next for us.
- Yeah, bottomless debt.
- No, no.
Two giant projects,
neither of which are Bode.
EVE:
Here to replenish the stash, everybody.
All right, Vince, I need you
to embrace two words:
micro and brew.
- Say less.
- EVE: Come on, get you some.
(EVE AND SHARON LAUGH)
I hope I wasn't too discouraging today
about Mrs. Renkin.
No, not discouraging, it was motivating.
You know, I went home,
did some homework.
Have you heard of, uh,
fire-educated communities?
Mm-hmm, I think so.
Well, it's a community agreement
where the neighbors hold
each other accountable
- for their fire safety.
- Ah.
So when Renkin's trash is threatening
to burn down the whole neighborhood
The neighborhood will set her straight,
and then I can get in there
with Three Rock
and do my little fire prevention thing.
Ooh!
Hey. What's wrong?
Your face is not giving
celebration vibes, that's for sure.
You know I'm shipping
out tomorrow, right?
I got the memo.
My dad's going to prison. Hoo-ray.
Going to Three Rock, mija.
That's different.
Okay.
What's the matter with you?
Every available firefighter in Edgewater
showed up for me yesterday.
And you weren't even there.
I gave Diego his ring back.
It's over.
And I keep waiting for you to apologize
so that I can tell you
what a mess I am about it.
I thought you showing up
to this party meant that
you were ready to apologize to me.
I came to support Bode.
All right.
Happy incarceration, Dad.

EVE: And you're liking

I'm sorry.
He's acting like it's nothing.
Like like I disappointed him.
Yeah, I been there.
To be fair, though,
I probably deserved it.
Maybe I do, too.
I feel awful for breaking Diego's heart.
For missing Gil's necklace,
and for hiding what we did from Jake.

Yeah, well Well, it sucked.
Truly.
But it's done.
Now we-we can get rid of the necklace,

I pocketed it in the moment.
I thought we should decide
what to do with it together.
But you
You've been dealing with a lot, so
(STAMMERING): What

We could destroy it.
Say all's well that ends well,

Or we can turn it in.
We started this together.
You and me, Gabs.
So how do we end it?
Jake.
You left me on read, dude.

Maybe.

Gen talks about you
The way that she looks at you
You're her dad.
I can't touch that.

permission to tell her the truth.
I'm on a flight back home
