Keep Your Cool

(PANTING)
(SIGHS)
VINCE: Get your head out of the fridge,
into your firefighter game.
It's gonna be 110 degrees today.
I'm just trying to cool off
before this ride-along.
We are in a heat dome today.
Even hotter than a heat wave.
No amount of A/C or brain freeze
is gonna fix that.
Ooh. You just have
to lean into it, yeah?
Body cramps and all.
Yeah, wherever your
ride-along takes you today,
it's gonna be a scorcher.
But you're gonna do great
on your ride-along
and then you're done with Phase Two.
Then we get you assigned to 42.
Like a real homecoming.
I've been training nonstop.
Running hoses and throwing ladders.
Studying after action reports.
Don't forget: sit on
the left side of the rig.
Right. Like you taught me,
yeah, I know, I know.
Good.
Then, uh, what are you still doing here?
You heard what your Nonno said.
On time is late, right?
That's right. (KNOCKS)
What's going on with you?
What do you mean?
You just quoted your father,
with parenting advice?
You okay?
Cal Fire sent me an early
retirement eligibility notice
because of my heart stuff.
Even though that's done.
Yeah, this is this is nothing.
I got one of these
after my kidney transplant.
It's just a formality.
It's an insult.
Our kid's just getting started,
now they want to put me on the shelf?
It's just a piece of paper, Vince.
Well, it feels like an expiration date.
(ELECTRICITY BUZZES)
Everybody's blasting their A/Cs.
That's gonna be a problem
for the power grid.
Hi. Good morning.
For your neck.
- Thanks.
- Heck of a day for, uh,
my A/C to break down, huh?
Hey, I want to ask you something.
It's a good thing.
I made a PowerPoint.
JAKE: Okay, yeah.
"Benefits of Homeschool."
First slide.
Homeschooled kids
can advance at their own pace.
You know I'm bored in math class.
Okay, and where is all this coming from?
Next slide.
My teachers already
approved of this plan
as long as I have
a part-time adult supervision.
Yeah, you have zero adult supervision.
I have a job, remember?
Next slide. Rick's wife, Noelle,
already homeschools one of my sibs.
So, she could supervise me, too.
Noelle. (CLEARS THROAT)
Rick's wife, in Idaho.
Last slide.
Idaho.
Where all of my siblings live
and no one will know me
as the girl with the dead mom
who used to be her sister.
Gen, you want us to move to Idaho?
But we have a life here, I mean, I
have a job.
Not us. Me.
Just for the rest of the semester.
My sibs and I want to hang in real life.
Um, okay, look, Gen,
you just started FaceTiming
your siblings.
And now you want to pack up to Idaho?
Okay, look, I know
when kids get an idea,
it starts to snowball, but
Rick and Noelle think
it's a good idea, too.
If you say yes.
Well, I'm not saying yes to that, sorry.
You won't even think about it?
Think about you moving to another state?
Without me? No.
You're ruining everything.
Okay, I'm sorry, y'all.
The A/C in the buggy is busted.
(PANTING)
Cole, you good?
Hot. Tired and hot.
Yes, that's 'cause homie was
cutting line like The Flash.
Had to. Got a weekly call with the fam.
If I didn't haul ass, we'd still
be out there roasting.
EVE: Hey, Sharon?
Can we pop by 42 and be
in your A/C for a little bit?
SHARON: Yeah, come pack heat kits.
(CHEERING)
No, no, not today, Cap.
Y'all telling me you don't want
to sit in the A/C? In this heat?
No, it's not that. It's that Gabriela's
not even returning my damn phone calls.
I can't just ambush her at work.
Yeah, and I can't hug my kids,
Cap. All I got is a weekly call.
I can't miss it.
All right, all right.
Cole, I'll make sure you get your call,
in the A/C.
And, Manny,
it's not an ambush, it's an order.
It's gonna be good for the both of you.
Hey. Let's go to 42 please.
- DRIVER: You got it.
- EVE: Thank you.

GABRIELA: Eight grand for the
wedding that never happened?
You've got to be kidding me.
You're staring at that laptop
like you want to kill it.
(SIGHS)
It It's nothing.
(CHUCKLES) Doesn't seem like nothing.
Um, just
Just because we're trying
not to be "us,"
that mean we can't talk?
It's been like two weeks
since we've caught up.
We need to find a new normal.
I'm sorry.
EVE: Three Rock in the house!
GABRIELA: Eve.
What What are you doing here?
Oh, I'm cooling off.
That heat dome is no joke.
My sweat is even sweating.
All right, let's get some water, gents.
Leone.
Cole, what's good, man?
Oh, man, you in this cadet uniform, one.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
That's exactly where I want to be.
Out, starting a new chapter.
You've got next, bro.
Hope so, man. You know
my parole hearing's coming up.
Your boy's just trying
to make his kids proud.
EVE: Hey, um, are you still
crashing with me till you find a place?
I know moving out of Diego's is a lot.
Hey, you need a place to stay, mija?
I can make some phone calls for you.
Nope. I found a place last minute.
Told you she was avoiding me.
Well, apparently me, too.
Water.
Cadet Leone.
You are on my time now.
Let's go.
All right, hydrate, gentlemen.
We're losing a lot of water.
Shut the door.
(DOOR CLOSES)
BODE: How long do you
think my dad's planning on
leaving this thing parked in here?
Yeah, he didn't even run it past me.
I mean, he may run
the battalion, but I
still captain this station.
You good?
(CLEARS THROAT) You need
to focus on you being good.
Today's ride-along is your
final test to pass Phase Two.
Some of your cadet class
failed theirs already.
Well, some of my cadet class
didn't grow up in
a fire station like I did.
I'm sorry, but how
you grew up doesn't matter.
Your last name doesn't matter.
And this isn't Three Rock.
What does that mean?
Three Rock was in the business
of building firefighters
based on potential.
This training program
is about seeing the talent
and dedication that already exists.
The cadets I have passed
have consistently shown they are ready.
Cadet Leone, what have you shown me?
I'm the first one here and
the last one out every day.
Proving that you are a solo operator.
No, what you have shown me
is that you will execute
the plan you think is best,
and that you are
not above lying to do so.
I thought we were past
the whole Gil thing.
No, I am past it.
You see, this ride-along
is for you to show me
that you are past it.
That you have retired Cowboy Bode
who jumps off bridges, hides necklaces,
who's been going rogue for
as long as I have known him.
(ELECTRICITY WHIRRING)
You show me you're
a firefighter I can captain.
Or you pack it up.
(ALARM RINGING)
♪
Got an elevator rescue over
on 7th due to the power outage.
Remember, heat like this
massively dehydrates people.
Also makes 'em a little intense.
So, keep your cool. Get some, be safe.
Hey, yo, Chief,
I can put in a loan-out order
for you to take Manny.
He's got elevator experience.
You might need him.
Love to have him. One, two, Three Rock.
Let's go.
You know, Gabs can't avoid you
on the same rig.
(ALARM RINGING)
Thanks, Cap.
All right, gents. It's breaktime.
Don't say I ain't done nothing for you.
OFFICER: Captain
Edwards. We have a problem.
EVE: What?
Just did a headcount. Cole's missing.
No, I told him he could
make a phone call.
Well, I checked. He's not there.
Uh, what's the issue?
Missing inmate. I'm gonna call it in.
No, wait. Cole's not a flight risk.
Why don't you give
Captain Edwards a chance
to do a sweep of the area?
You want to take the perimeter,
and I can check upstairs?
Yeah. You stay with the crew.
(SIRENS WAILING, HORNS HONKING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Third elevator call in
this building this year.
I remember. Building
maintenance went to hell
after the owner's son took over.
Thank God you're here.
There's five people trapped
in the elevator stalled out
on the 12th floor.
Ian, how many citations do you need
before you get a backup generator?
I wasn't expecting my old
man to hang it up so soon.
It's on my list.
Well, your list isn't
helping those people
who are cooking in that elevator.
Cal Fire's on scene.
Sit tight, we're coming to get you.
Hey, Chief, if the building
power comes back on
in the middle of evac
The elevator could drop mid-rescue.
Uh, control room access,
can we bump that to the top of the list?
Yeah.
VINCE: Jake, take a crew,
floor 12, start prep for evac.
I'll take Manny and Gabs.
Hey, mija.
I used my phone privileges
to call you yesterday.
Wasn't in the mood for another
chat like our last one.
What do I do, Cap?
You tag along and follow orders,
Cadet Leone.
Let's move!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Let's go, let's go!
♪
As hot as a wildfire up in here.
Must be even worse in the elevator.
WOMAN: Help! Fire department's here.
Manny, Gabs, you're
with me on extrication.
Bode, you're on door duty.
- Copy, Cap.
- Yo, hey.
Where do you think you're going?
To open the elevator doors.
No. Not without this.
"Door duty" means taping up
the lobby elevator doors.
- Drop the bag.
- Power's off.
Doors won't open even if
they push the buttons.
What was that?
Nothing, Cap.
Following orders.
Come on.
I know it's one of these.
Why don't we pretend we're in a hurry?
'Cause you know, there's people
about to plummet to their death.
(GRUNTS) Sorry.
Oh, for God's sake, move.
That's also on my list.
Power shutdown's a no-go.
We got to evac before
there's a power surge.
JAKE (OVER RADIO):
Copy, Chief. We'll move fast.
W-What can I do to help?
I don't know.
Maybe get your dad to unretire somehow?
Not outside either.
Please tell me my favorite
inmate didn't just escape.
(GROANING) Cole!
(GRUNTS) Hey, can you hear us?
SHARON: Oh, God, he's burning up.
Okay, we need ice packs and fluids.
Okay. I'm on it. Okay. Come on.
Stick with me, stick with me. That's it.
That's it. Yes. Yes.
Help me get this door open.
(GRUNTING)
All right.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Ready.
JOANNE: Thank you.
Okay, hang on. All right.
All right, Gabs, Manny,
hop down there
and start hoisting people out.
Yes, sir.
Gabi.
Ma'am, we're gonna take you first.
JAKE: All right.
Watch your head, grab my hand.
(OVERLAPPING ARGUING)
You ready?
- WOMAN: Just shut your piehole.
- MAN: Oh, oh, really?
- Take my hand.
- MAN: You know it's hot in here.
Just back off from me, please.
Okay, ma'am, when I say go,
you got to be ready, okay?
MAN: Joanne? Ready?
She's got a poor relationship
with punctuality.
No, Lester, I have a poor
relationship with you.
Today was our divorce day.
I dressed for the occasion.
Uh, yeah, so did I.
GABRIELA: It's go time, Joanne.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
LESTER: Let me go, let me go!
Let me go. I got to go.
No, I got to get out.
MANNY: Get back! (CLAMORING)
(ALL GASPING)
Power keeps shutting on and off.
When it goes off, we stop cold.
And when it starts, we drop.
How lovely. My literal
recurring nightmare manifested.
Joanne?
Oh, my head.
I need that med bag.
Light.
I wanted an ex-wife, not a dead one.
MANNY: Don't worry.
She's in the best hands.
VINCE (OVER RADIO):
Perez, let me hear your voice.
You guys okay down there?
GABRIELA (OVER RADIO): I got one patient
with a severe head laceration
and a sluggish left pupil.
Worried about a possible TBI.
Copy. Just keep the patient stable.
- We're gonna get you out of there.
- Copy, Chief.
It's hotter than hell in here.
No power, no A/C.
- Gauze. Feels like an oven.
- MANNY: Gauze.
It's gonna cook us to death
if we don't get out of here soon.
Heard a crash
while I was taping the doors.
Uh, yeah. Power surged mid-evac.
Sent the elevator down the shaft.
With Manny and Gabriela inside?
And a couple of patients, yeah.
(SCOFFS) I could've been
an extra set of hands.
I could've helped
get everybody out of there
instead of taping the doors.
Or you'd be stuck in there, too.
You're not the secret ingredient
to a successful outcome.
VINCE: Perez, we're getting
eyes on the elevator shaft
to see where you landed.
GABRIELA: Copy, Chief.
Tell her we're hurrying.
That's the job.
Okay. Both of you need to channel
whatever this is
into getting them out of there.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
♪
JAKE: It looks like they
stalled between the
fifth and sixth floor.
All right, Cadet Leone, you're with me.
Grab a Halligan.
Where are the elevator doors
for this floor?
It's an express elevator.
Doesn't stop on every floor.
Well, this is a dead end.
Perez, you're stalled
in an express shaft.
No direct access,
so gonna be a bit longer.
GABRIELA: Copy, Chief.
How do we get them out?
Only way's from above, through
the elevator rooftop hatch.
Uh, hoisting people up that high
is gonna cost more time than we have.
MANNY: Hey, Chief.
There should be a
maintenance hatch accessible
from inside the express shaft.
If you can find it and open it up,
you can get closer to it
for evac and save some time.
If we lower someone
down the elevator shaft,
unlock the maintenance hatch
JAKE: Bode, don't get any ideas.
That "someone" is gonna be me.
This just became
an advanced elevator rescue.
We're gonna set up back on 12,
prepare to send Jake down.
Bode, uh, track down Ian
so we can get the elevator blueprints.
We need to locate
that maintenance hatch.
- Then what?
- Then stand by.
(DOOR CLOSES)
EVE: Ready! Set!
Lift! (GROANS)
Okay, I need some ice packs. Yes, Cap.
All right, we're gonna put them
on his pulse points.
- Here.
- One under his neck.
There you go. There you go.
Okay, we have
a rapid pulse, he's slurring
his words, and dry skin.
- W-What's wrong with him?
- SHARON: Heat exhaustion,
which we are not gonna let
turn into heat stroke.
We got him now, Eve. (THERMOMETER BEEPS)
His temperature's 104.
We have to keep his temperature
from getting to 106,
otherwise, he's at risk for seizure.
If I'm dead
must've gone to hell
'cause he's still here.
Joanne, keep talking, okay?
Okay. Did you see Lester
try to rush the exit?
You ever hear of "ladies first,"
you selfish son of a
She soaked through her bandages.
I need more gauze.
That enough?
Yes. Thank you.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- (GROANS WEAKLY)
- GABRIELA: Yeah, stay with us.
I looked, but I don't know
where my dad kept the
blueprints. I'm sorry.
I feel like I'm being punk'd.
We can find the maintenance
hatch ourselves. I can do it.
Yes, you can.
Gear up. We'll meet you
on the other side,
help pull everybody out.
People are baking down there.
I can help.
You will help when I decide,
Cadet Leone.
You trying to train him or break him?
I am trying to remind him
he is a cadet, not a captain.
When you were a cadet,
you had to do everything.
You had to be the strongest, fastest.
It was my part-time job reeling you in.
Yeah, but the difference is, I listened.
Listen to me now.
Bode's an asset.
Assets are meant to be used.
FIREFIGHTER: Rope system's set up.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Cadet Leone.
You're coming with me.
Rig for a second rescuer.
Okay, I do not want to regret this.
You do what I say,
when I say, how I say.
I won't let you down, Cap.
Hey, can you hear me?
Checking your cognition.
What's your name? Where you are?
Joanne, and I'm stuck
in a box with my ex.
It's God's cruel joke.
Okay. Any underlying conditions?
Yeah, she's diabetic. Always forgets.
You know what I never forget, Lester,
is you standing in the house I bought
saying your life was better
before you had me in it.
Jo, I apologized a million times.
Some things you can't move on from.
The next day,
I called the divorce lawyer.
MANNY: It's hard to come back from
cutting too deep in an argument
with the person you love.
Are you guys married?
She's my daughter.
And you work together? That's brave.
May come as a shock, Lester,
but some people share the same last name
and get along.
(ALARM CHIMES)
That's my blood sugar alarm.
Her blood sugar's low.
Listen, Jo,
you took your insulin right after
we signed our divorce papers.
Did you eat?
Was saving my appetite
for my divorce party.
(MOANS)
I don't feel so great.
Joanne? Joanne.
Check her purse for glucagon.
We need to raise her blood sugar.
What happened? She was just awake.
The high heat must've bottomed out
her blood sugar.
Is this it?
No, that's insulin.
Patient is diabetic
and slipping into a severe
hypoglycemic state.
I need glucagon.
She's unconscious.
She needs an injection.
All right, I'll call it in.
Hey, Chief.
Ian, what can I do for you?
I know I'm not my dad.
I do.
The truth is, my dad didn't retire.
He he passed earlier this year.
My condolences, Ian.
I'm I'm sorry.
Your dad was a good one.
I'm trying to be a good one, too,
so there's a pharmacy in the lobby.
Pharmacies have glucagon, right?
Yeah.
I couldn't help but overhear.
They locked up for the day,
but I might have a key somewhere.
Don't need one.
♪
There we go.
Back in business.
I'm gonna start the IV.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
Okay.
Next, we need Oh!
Ah. (WINCES) Uh
You okay?
Cramp in my shoulder.
I'm gonna need you to finish this.
- Okay, I got it.
- Thank you.
Yep, here we go.
Okay, he's ready to go.
Cole, you're gonna come back to us now.
That's up.
All right.
Here we go.
There you are. There you are.
EVE: There he is.
(SIGHS)
You (LAUGHS)
Okay.
All right, keep your eyes peeled
for the maintenance hatch
on the side of the shaft.
It'll be a lot closer
than the 12th floor.
It'll be a quicker exit point
for our patients.
But, unfortunately, we can only
open it from inside the shaft.
Hey.
There's the elevator.
Okay, Perez, I got the glucagon.
Jake, what's your status?
Just below the eighth floor.
Still no signs of the maintenance hatch.
Joanne's running out of time.
We got to get her this stuff.
I got an idea, but it's risky.
Offer it up, Cadet.
Hey, Chief,
what if you drop the pens past us,
aiming for the roof of the cab?
VINCE: From six floors up?
Yeah, I don't I don't love it,
but here it comes.
BODE: I'm lighting up the target.
JAKE: The backdraft took it.
Target missed, Chief. Try again.
VINCE: Only one left.
Target acquired, Chief.
You bought us some time with Joanne.
Okay, Gabs?
Look, open the elevator
door on the roof.
The glucagon will be on your left side.
Okay.
- Move her?
- Yep.
Okay, right there.
You get on my shoulders.
You move over here, please.
Yeah.
- Good?
- Yeah.
You?
I'm set.
Go.
- Got it.
- Attagirl.
- Here.
- Attagirl.

Thank God.
Okay.
Patient is stabilizing.
Dad?
Dad? Dad!
Dad, hey. Hey, Dad.
My dad is losing consciousness.
We're dehydrating in here.
He needs fluids, but we've used
every ounce we have on Joanne already.
Hey, Dad. Come on.
Come on.
Talk to me. Talk to me, Dad.
BODE: There's the maintenance hatch.
JAKE: Hey, Chief,
maintenance hatch is on seven.
Preparing to open it now.
Gabs, get ready for extrication.
VINCE: Copy you. Here we come.
GABRIELA: Copy, Cap.
They're fading faster than we're moving.
Stay cool, stick to the plan.
You're right about me.
I'm a solo operator.
All I can think about
right now is just
just ripping down this line,
and getting down there to everyone.
It's taking every bit of restraint
just not to take things
into my own hands.
Hey, but you are restraining.
Listening. Not going rogue.
That that's the whole game for you.
What you suggested was a good idea.
What?
Get electrolytes to Manny.
I'll stay up here and open up
the maintenance hatch.
Go now.
Heads up.
Aw, dang it. You good?
No, my safety line,
it activated.
It's preventing me from moving.
- I got to unclip.
- You sure?
Yeah, it's why we got a main line.
Got to have a backup plan.
Go, now, come on.
Copy, Cap. See you down there.

We gotta get you out of here.
Gabriela, I'm so sorry.
I think I said some things
that I may not get the chance
to take back.
That can't be how we end.
I'm sorry, mija.
(CLATTERING)
Hey, I've got fluids.
BODE: Electrolytes. Here. Drink up.
You just got to drink this, all right?
JOANNE: Are you gonna get us out of here?

Slow.
Yup, here. One, two,

Ready? On three.

It stopped again.
No. No, this was supposed to be
the first day of my new life.
I swear, Lester, I will haunt you!
Hey, Joanne? Listen.
Listen to me. Nobody's gonna die.
All right? I'm gonna
hook you up to the main line.
Okay. What about you?
I'll be fine.
Sending Joanne up to you.
All right.
All right, she's ready.
Take her up now.

GABRIELA: You feeling better?
Much.
Look, I don't know if you
heard me in the elevator, but
I meant what I said.
We can't end like this.
I heard you.
I don't want us
to end like this, either.
I want our family back.
I'm just not ready yet.
VINCE: Thanks for the pharmacy tip.
It's the least I could do.
Why don't I come back, do
a little walk-through with you,
make sure everything's up to code?
It's the least I can do, for your dad.
Appreciate it.
Hey, guys, can I have a minute?
Okay, so I want you to keep
your hydration levels up
before you get to the hospital.
Cap, I don't need to go to the hospital.
I need to call my fam.
It's all I needed all day.
Well, what if going
to the hospital means
you get to see them in person?
I made some calls.
They're gonna be there
when you get there.
You did that for me?
You've been putting in that
hard work to get out for them.
You're doing all the right things.
Just keep doing them.
In the meantime,
enjoy this.
Here. He's ready.
(CHUCKLES)
You are a real one, Cap.
That is a hell of a
"get well" gift for Cole.
Yeah. Well, to be able
to really reunite families,
that's the gift.
- Right?
- Yeah.
You're thinking about Manny
- and Gabriela today?
- Yeah.
Maybe you're thinking about your
own family a little bit, too.
Yeah. Little bit.
I remember the day
your father went down.
You were here training.
That was really scary.
Yeah, Cole's heatstroke scare, that, um,
kicked up some guilt for me.
Oh, guilt?
Honey, come on.
You know that wasn't your fault.
Yeah. Well, if you were
to ask my family,
my dad
had his heatstroke picking up
my slack on the ranch that day.
It's weird now,
living in the same town
and we're not speaking.

with my sister Mickey.
And now that we are talking,
I-I can't believe
how much time I let go by
when we weren't.
- Maybe you want to

No. As far as I'm concerned,

I couldn't talk to him
when he was at Three Rock.
Or wouldn't talk to him.
But I did know you were there.
And that was a comfort.
It was an honor, Chief.
It was the job. (CHUCKLES)
Never imagined I'd be returning
the favor with your daughter.
Yeah, you and me both, man. But listen,

her argument is sound, but

I told her no.
I mean, flat out.
I don't think I've ever
said no to her before.

you grew up doesn't matter.
Your last name doesn't matter.

Three Rock was in the business
of building firefighters

The cadets I have passed
have consistently shown they are ready.
Cadet Leone, what have you shown me?
I'm the first one here and
the last one out every day.
Proving that you are a solo operator.
No, what you have shown me
is that you will execute
the plan you think is best,
and that you are
not above lying to do so.

All I can think about
right now is just
just ripping down this line,
and getting down there to everyone.
It's taking every bit of restraint
just not to take things
into my own hands.
Hey, but you are restraining.
Listening. Not going rogue.
That that's the whole game for you.
What you suggested was a good idea.
What?
Get electrolytes to Manny.
I'll stay up here and open up
the maintenance hatch.
Go now.
Heads up.
Aw, dang it. You good?
No, my safety line,
it activated.
It's preventing me from moving.
- I got to unclip.
- You sure?
Yeah, it's why we got a main line.
Got to have a backup plan.
Go, now, come on.
Copy, Cap. See you down there.
♪
We gotta get you out of here.
Gabriela, I'm so sorry.
I think I said some things
that I may not get the chance
to take back.
That can't be how we end.
I'm sorry, mija.
(CLATTERING)
Hey, I've got fluids.
BODE: Electrolytes. Here. Drink up.
You just got to drink this, all right?
JOANNE: Are you gonna get us out of here?
You all right?
Here, drink up, all right?
Here you go.
Oh, hey.
Let's get you guys out of this hotbox.
You guys come up first.
Bode and I will handle the evac, okay?
All right, move.
- Slowly.
- BODE: Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.
All right. Manny, easy.
Slow.
Yup, here. One, two,
three. (GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING)
Should I do this?
JAKE: Okay, Bode, last one out.
All right, Bode,
you go up first and start receiving.
Ready? On three.
One, two,
three.
- Come on.
- All right.
All right, Manny, you're up.
There you go. Three, two, one.
Good. All right, Gabs, you're up.
One, two, three.
There you go.
All right, come on. Here we go.
Two, three.
JOANNE: Okay.
JAKE: All right, Joanne, are you ready?
BODE: Whoa, whoa, hey, power surge!
Whoa, whoa, hey, we're
falling! (SCREAMING)
BODE: They're moving down the shaft.
It stopped again.
No. No, this was supposed to be
the first day of my new life.
I swear, Lester, I will haunt you!
Hey, Joanne? Listen.
Listen to me. Nobody's gonna die.
All right? I'm gonna
hook you up to the main line.
Okay. What about you?
I'll be fine.
Sending Joanne up to you.
All right.
All right, she's ready.
Take her up now.
Jake, you got to jump. Now.
It's you and me.
Come on, bro. I've got you on this side.
I know you do, B.
Jake!

I told you, Cap.

GABRIELA: You feeling better?
Much.
Look, I don't know if you
heard me in the elevator, but
I meant what I said.
We can't end like this.
I heard you.
I don't want us
to end like this, either.
I want our family back.
I'm just not ready yet.
VINCE: Thanks for the pharmacy tip.
It's the least I could do.
Why don't I come back, do
a little walk-through with you,
make sure everything's up to code?
It's the least I can do, for your dad.
Appreciate it.
Hey, guys, can I have a minute?
Okay, so I want you to keep
your hydration levels up
before you get to the hospital.
Cap, I don't need to go to the hospital.
I need to call my fam.
It's all I needed all day.
Well, what if going
to the hospital means
you get to see them in person?
I made some calls.
They're gonna be there
when you get there.
You did that for me?
You've been putting in that
hard work to get out for them.
You're doing all the right things.
Just keep doing them.
In the meantime,
enjoy this.
Here. He's ready.
(CHUCKLES)
You are a real one, Cap.
That is a hell of a
"get well" gift for Cole.
Yeah. Well, to be able
to really reunite families,
that's the gift.
- Right?
- Yeah.
You're thinking about Manny
- and Gabriela today?
- Yeah.
Maybe you're thinking about your
own family a little bit, too.
Yeah. Little bit.
I remember the day
your father went down.
You were here training.
That was really scary.
Yeah, Cole's heatstroke scare, that, um,
kicked up some guilt for me.
Oh, guilt?
Honey, come on.
You know that wasn't your fault.
Yeah. Well, if you were
to ask my family,
my dad
had his heatstroke picking up
my slack on the ranch that day.
It's weird now,
living in the same town
and we're not speaking.
You know, I've been there
with my sister Mickey.
And now that we are talking,
I-I can't believe
how much time I let go by
when we weren't.
- Maybe you want to
- Mm.
No. As far as I'm concerned,
the ball's in their court.
(SNIFFLES)
Yeah. You may be right,
but that puts you in a tricky position.
How's that?
Well, that means that
you have to choose.
Do you want to be right
or do you want to have your family?
MANNY: What's up, Chief?
I saw you and Gabriela
talking in the lobby.
How'd that go?
She needs more time.
Doesn't know how much.
I'm afraid being incarcerated
means that I
Means you won't have access
to her anytime you want,
and that's killing you.
- 'Cause it's true.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you know I've
been there, with Bode.
Can't remember how many times
I couldn't talk to him
when he was at Three Rock.
Or wouldn't talk to him.
But I did know you were there.
And that was a comfort.
It was an honor, Chief.
It was the job. (CHUCKLES)
Never imagined I'd be returning
the favor with your daughter.
Yeah, you and me both, man. But listen,
Sharon and I, we-we got her, okay?
In more ways than I can get into.
But just know that.
- Appreciate it, Chief.
- OFFICER: Let's go, Perez.
- Time's up.
- It's an honor.
Till next call, yeah?
BODE: Here you go.
Engine's back in service, Cap.
What else can I do?
Well, uh, sign at the bottom.
Congrats.
You're advancing to Phase Three.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Really?
Yeah. I mean, you showed restraint.
You proved that I can captain you.
And you saved my life, too.
Thanks for the second chance.
Hey, B, there's no thanks necessary.
You earned this.
And, well,
now you're Phase Three
trainer's problem.
(BOTH LAUGH)
And since I'm no longer your trainer
you were right, this morning.
I I wasn't good.
Something happen?
Gen.
(CHUCKLES): Uh, she, um
she asked me to spend
the rest of the semester
in Idaho with Rick.
I mean, she made this whole presentation
about getting to know her siblings
and getting away from
her rep here and
you know, honestly,
when saying it out loud,
her argument is sound, but
But you hate the idea of it.
I told her no.
I mean, flat out.
I don't think I've ever
said no to her before.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
Look, Jake,
I told Cara that I would
look out for Gen.
But what you just described
I mean, it kind of sounds like
the perfect thing for her.
Damn, I hate that you're right.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
Why don't you take the credit
and tell her "yes" with me?
Movie marathon?
You, me, Gen
- Top Gun?
- Top Gun?
Got to culture her while
she's still under my roof,
Cadet Goose.

Is this your ice cream retirement party?
Do you want whipped cream?
(LAUGHS) You're in a better mood.
Well
I got mad at this kid today
for not being his dad.
Then I found out that, uh,
his dad's not around anymore
to teach his son all the stuff he knows.
Mm. But I am.
Right?
I can still, I can still guide my kid.
Be there for him.
Not doing it.
I'm not hanging up my jersey. Not yet.
Too many fires to kill.
Wow. Competing with Mother Nature.
That's very reasonable.
Here we go.

Hell of a day.
A hot one.
Getting, uh, getting trapped
