Middle knuckle, ready to hit ♪
Hey.
Hey.
So
feels like we should talk
about the Ren fair?
Dragons and fires, a bunch of injuries.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY]
And?
And, uh
yeah, I mea I guess
there was, there was, like,
that other thing, at the end, there.
That, uh, kissing thing?
Didn't hate that.
I definitely didn't hate it, either.
But we should talk about it, because
you know, you and I just got out of
other things with other people.
Mm-hmm. No, we should,
we should definitely be responsible.
Mm-hmm.
You know, figure out
what exactly this is first.
[DOOR OPENS]
What is this?
Probably need to investigate.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Investigate what?
Uh
I was just ordering
a chicken-fried steak.
Smokey's does
chicken-fried steak now, huh?
BODE: Uh, yeah, we're, uh,
we're thinking about it.
Okay, we'll pick this up later.
Yeah, sure.
JAKE: Bye, Audrey.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY]
Uh, B, I was, uh,
seeing if you wanted to get some OT.
Field trip to Trinity
National for risk assessment.
It's gonna be a long drive,
and a long hike.
No, I'm in. Let's go.
GABRIELA: Listen up, Three Rock.
Okay, juice boxes are in the kitchen,
arts and crafts are in Bay 3
and photos are in here with the engine.
Can't wait to see
my five little monsters.
- Anytime, bro.
- EVE: Okay.
All right, the kids
are gonna be here in an hour,
so let's get moving, gentlemen.
- On it, Cap. Come on, y'all.
- All right.
Yo, Cap, thanks again for kicking off
this Reunion Express program,
it's pretty cool.
Yeah, no, the kids
need to see their dads
out of a prison setting.
MANNY: Yeah, I'm just glad D.C. Leone
- actually approved it.
- Well,
with conditions.
Sacramento only signed off on it
because FireEducated
went so well.
So, if we have any hiccups,
we're gonna get the ax.
So, everyone, dads and kids,
need to give it a thumbs-up.
- Surveys will be at the door.
- Great.
All that means is
we got to make this one
a winner. [CLICKS TONGUE]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey, what are you doing here?
I'm dropping off mac and cheese
for the kids
to support Eve's
Reunion Express program.
You left your father at the house alone?
He just got done
living by himself, okay?
He can spend an hour or two
at the house.
Can he?
Really?
'Cause it's only been a couple of days.
And I know it's inconvenient,
but we don't know
if he can be alone for a day
or a night, or an hour.
Okay, so, that's what we're doing now?
I mean, Bode moves out, Walter moves in,
we become parents again,
except for this time,
the baby is just old
and an ass?
- [LAUGHS]: I didn't say anything.
- I-I am not
an apple, my dad's not a tree.
I didn't say it.
Okay, I'm gonna go home.
I was gonna take you
to the new steak place
for dinner tonight, but
[INHALES]
I hope you like our couch,
'cause that's where we're gonna be
spending date nights from here on out.
I love our couch. It's my favorite.
Not a threat.
♪
I got a hole in my drywall ♪
A hole in my heart ♪
Fine, go ahead.
Just ask. What?
- [MUSIC VOLUME DECREASES]
- So, Bode.
- You and Audrey.
- Mm-hmm.
We're taking it slow.
[MUTTERS]: Slow? Oh, good.
Sl real slow, yeah.
U-Until?
I'm trying to figure that out.
[CHUCKLES]
But dude, we both want
to get it right. Okay?
What about you? What do you
got going on? You gonn
Well, you gonna get back
out there or?
Uh yeah.
I mean, I'm-I'm out here now.
[CHUCKLES] Look I mean,
look at, look at all these
beautiful mountains, the trees and
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
This kind of feels like
we're skipping school.
[CHUCKLES]
You know what this reminds me of?
The time you convinced me
to skip in order to go with you
to that Kenny Chesney concert
in Oakland?
You remember that?
I remember that. My
dad caught us both, dude.
BODE: I got grounded for, like, a month.
JAKE: But you know what?
It didn't keep us
from sneaking out again.
BODE: Nope.
Nope, sure didn't.
EVE: Okay.
First one up,
- Stella Jones.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Very good.
[LAUGHTER]
- D-23 for Stella.
- All right.
GABRIELA: There you go, Stella.
Over there.
- She looks just like you.
- [LAUGHS]
- Come here. Oh
- Oh. [LAUGHING]
And what is your name, sir?
You all right, bro?
Nervous. [CHUCKLES]
- [LAUGHTER]
- Daddy!
- Hey, everybody.
- EVE: Okay,
we have Team Rodman here.
I think your dad has shown me
your photo, like, 500 times.
That's my crew.
- Gorgeous.
- [CHUCKLES]
EVE: W-17.
Uh, I'm not doing plastic bling.
Uh, everyone has to wear one,
but you can take it off
at the end of the day.
Not my party.
- [LAUGHING]
- There he is!
Dad!
Aw, there you go.
Dad.
We missed you.
COLE: I missed you all so much.
We missed you, too.
Look at my little ladies.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Did you guys get even prettier?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
[CHUCKLES] And Logan, look at you.
You're almost as tall as me.
Get in here.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY]
What, you too cool to hug your pops?
Nice fit.
Hey.
Give him time.
Yeah.
EVE: And last but not least,
Hi, sweetie. What's your name?
Simon.
Simon. You're Harper's kid.
Okay, so, I-I have some bad news. Um
So, your dad is fine,
he just got a little sick,
and so he's in the infirmary,
and you were already on
the bus when we found out.
So, he's not coming at all?
He's not, but we're
still gonna have fun.
We have food, art,
- games
- I want to go home.
Oh, Simon, I'm so sorry. So
it's too far,
so we can't send the bus away
until everyone's done
at the end of the day.
No, I want my dad.
♪
JAKE: All right.
Yeah, it's not too much further.
About half a mile out
from the dry patch.
[BIRDS SINGING]
JAKE: All right. Let's tag these trees
so they can be cleared
before fire season.
- [BODE EXHALES SHARPLY]
- Okay. First contestant.
Looks like we're here. Four miles.
Well, I think this counts
as leg day for the week.
[CHUCKLES]
Uh, yeah, sure.
Whatever you say.
Okay, buddy.
What do you want? Moisture
meter or spray paint?
Right. Stupid question.
Bode Leone, the secret tagger
of Edgewater Middle School.
Look, you want a clean brick wall,
you probably shouldn't put it next
- to an eighth-grade art room.
- [CHUCKLES]
Fair point, fair point.
All right, this is 14%.
Uh, sorry, big guy.
We don't want you going up like a candle
and killing all your friends.
RIP, buddy.
This one's got decent fuel moisture.
No sign of bark beetles.
Monitor only.
You got it.
Marking it to monitor.
You smell that?
Smoke.
♪
Someone's campfire.
- JAKE: You got that?
- Yep.
Good.
[LOW RUMBLE]
Wait, you hear that?
Is that a rockslide?
If whoever left this campfire
is still out here
With me.
[ROCKS CLATTERING]
[CLATTERING STOPS]
MAN: Whoa!
Help!
- BODE: You heard that, right?
- JAKE: Yeah.
Someone's buried under there.
Help!
Please, help!
♪
♪
MAN: I'm here, c-can you hear me?
JAKE: Yes, can you hear us?
- Cal Fire is here.
- Yes, I can hear you!
Oh, my God!
Okay, hey, hey, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Look,
all right, this rockslide is new.
Might still be unstable.
You've been through avalanche
training. How do we get him out?
[ROCKS CLATTERING]
JAKE: Okay, look, uh,
if there is a secondary slide,
and we don't see it coming, well,
then none of us
are getting out of here alive.
So, what we need to do is
keep an eagle-eyed view above.
Take turns doing it.
Got it. One looks, the other one works.
Yeah.
RAFAEL: Help!
I'm under these rocks. Help!
Voice sounded like it was
coming from somewhere
around here.
- Yeah, I'll start digging.
- All right.
Look, what's your name
and, uh, are you are you hurt?
Rafael.
I'm not, I'm not sure.
Okay, he must be in shock.
All right, Rafael, uh, save your breath.
RAFAEL: Oh, okay.
Look, I'm Captain Jake
Crawford with Cal Fire
and I've got Firefighter
Bode Leone here with me.
We're gonna get you out of there.
Listen, the minute we get him free,
one of us has to run for help.
The phones should work
closer to the road.
- Give me a hand moving this one.
- All right.
Help me out. Ready?
Okay, two, three.
"A wooden home for a dog."
[SCOFFS]
- Dog house.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- D-O-G-H-O-U
Hi, Dad.
- Lunch time.
- Great, I'm starving.
Here you go.
What?
I don't eat rabbit food.
Neither do I.
I'd rather eat the rabbit.
Look, these are superfoods, okay?
There's, um, avocado
and chia seeds
and pomegranates.
It's good for brains.
- Even crusty old ones.
- Yeah.
Probably tastes like the front lawn.
Yeah, I'd rather have a burger, too.
Great idea.
Why don't you fire up a few
of them? I'll take two myself.
This, crossword puzzles,
that's what's good for the brain.
Hey, Vin, "Ancient Greek physician
known as the father of medicine."
I bet you don't know that one.
Hippocrates.
Who?
JAKE: Rafael, do we sound closer
or farther away now?
RAFAEL: Farther away.
Can you tell where that's coming from?
No. No, the, uh,
the acoustics of the rocks
are throwing the sound of his voice.
It's sound reflection.
Uh, all right, look,
we got to change this up.
Hey, Rafael, were you at your campsite
when you first saw the, uh, rockslide?
RAFAEL: I was close.
Hey, uh, it's getting
a little hard to breathe.
I can run back to the truck right now
and grab medical supplies,
try and call as soon as I can.
No, no, there and back
is over eight miles.
It'll take way too long.
Our main priority is to find
where this guy is first.
Do you remember anything specific
that you saw at your campsite?
RAFAEL: Uh
I was almost back to my tent.
[GROANS]
Right there.
Right there.
Yeah, there's the tent. Hey. Hey.
Rafael, we're closer now.
RAFAEL: Yeah. [WHOOPS] You're close.
Hey, be very careful.
Let's start digging, though.
And I can't wait ♪
Anymore ♪
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
I got this one.
They can wait ♪
EVE: Hey, buddy.
Everyone's making, uh,
picture frames over there.
You want to make one?
Hey, how about
I help you make
a special "get well soon" card
for your dad?
[COMPRESSED AIR HISSING, LOUD CLATTER]
I'll be out howlin' ♪
Out howlin' at the moon ♪
What the hell?
Logan,
what did you do?
I wanted to see it opened up.
Well, this is a rescue boat.
COLE: Logan. Are you kidding me?
MANNY: Ah, we got
a spill. I'll get a mop.
My son and I will get a mop.
Whatever.
COLE: Come on, hurry up.
GABRIELA: How does this deflate?
[GASPS]
It's just a glitch, Chief.
We've got it under control.
[AIR HISSING]
Oh
Huh, you got your whole closet in there?
Basically,
yeah.
My craphole apartment's
crappy laundry machine broke.
Again.
Well, the station one is busy
with station stuff.
Oh.
Right. Yeah, no, I, uh,
I can just take my couch quarters
and spend the day with the
weirdos at the laundromat.
Or, um, maybe you could
save your quarters
and use the one at my house.
Really?
Vince could honestly use a break.
He's pretty crabby, and so is Walter.
Great, so everybody's crabby.
Lucky me.
JAKE: [GRUNTING] There we go. Look.
We have to stabilize
the rescue corridor,
make sure the walls
around him are stable.
Using nature's cribbing.
Hey, remember,
slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
Easy, easy.
Watch your step.
Yep.
Hey, now it counts as leg day.
All right.
Let's see what that got us.
JAKE: Okay, one more rock.
BODE: Hey, Rafael,
can you see any light?
Yeah, I can see it!
Heh. You're close to me!
Hey.
Uh, Sharon said that
I could let myself in,
do some laundry.
She also said you might need a break.
Yeah, you don't need any of that
grumpy old weirdo
on your plate, trust me.
It's fine, I've dealt with
plenty of grumpy old weirdos in prison.
Y-You sure?
Yeah, how bad could it be?
[SCOFFS]
Guess you're gonna find out. Um
- thank you
- Mm-hmm.
and, uh, laundry room's
- right back there.
- Okay.
Holler if you need me.
All right. Thank you so much.
Hey!
I thought I heard you.
[LAUGHS]
What you got there? Oh, laundry.
What's the matter, they don't have any
washing machines in
that fancy dorm of yours?
Dorm?
I I live in an apartment.
Ah, you moved out already? That's great.
First sign of independence,
get your own place.
Come on, give your grandpa a hug.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, it's so good to see you, Riley.
[CLEARS THROAT]
What is with all this
bleach in your hair?
I like you better
when you're a dirty blond.
[SCOFFS]
You're not Riley. [STAMMERS]
No.
I'm Audrey.
I work with your son and your grandson.
Well, that's all right.
It was just a mistake, you know.
[SIGHS]
Riley died.
[PANTING]
Satellite service unavailable.
No clear line of sight, even up there.
Okay, hey, Rafael,
we're gonna have
to get you out ourselves.
How you feeling, Rafael?
Grateful.
I can't believe you found me.
It seems impossible. I went for a walk,
I was almost back to my tent
when I I heard a rumble.
Boom, it felt like a mountain hit me.
Passed out, I woke up buried alive.
Now, I'm guessing
mild concussion, fractured ribs.
I'm pretty sure no pneumothorax.
You a doctor?
Pediatrician.
I came from Argentina
for medical school.
My fiancée, Mica, she's still there.
Like this week,
I I lost a patient.
A six-year-old girl.
Uh devastating, and-and
That's awful.
That's why I came out here
on this solo camping trip.
Trying to make sense
of it all, you know?
Guys, uh, I think my oxygen sat's down.
My heart rate's getting slower.
We'll work faster.
We're halfway there, Rafael.
Yeah.
There you go.
Shake it until you can see you.
Thank you.
GABRIELA: Okay.
Look at that. My baby girl's
been smiling all day.
GABRIELA: Yeah.
One for you.
Thanks.
All right, bud,
picture time.
Ready?
You could wear the fire hat
or you could wear
a super cool fire jacket.
I miss my dad. I want to go home.
I could slum it in a truck.
Okay.
Oh, I'll be right back,
I'm gonna grab some more film.
See?
All he needed was a
little time to warm up.
Teenagers, man.
Those hormones?
[ENGINE STARTS]
Get back! Everybody, get back!
- Get back!
- Okay, okay, let's go, let's go.
- Where'd you get these?
- They were sitting out.
On hooks, above
the shelves and the gear?
Thought y'all wanted us to be
all, "oh, we're firefighters."
It's not a joke, Logan.
MANNY: Hey.
Yelling at him's not gonna help.
Yeah, but it's gonna
make me feel better.
Okay, looks like we need to have
a little chat. Let's go.
EVE: All right.
So, someone could've really gotten hurt.
Is that what you wanted?
- No.
- Then what?
Attention?
Because I got a kid in there
that's heartbroken
he came all the way up here,
but his dad is sick.
Let him hang with my dad, then.
No, but your dad really loves you,
and he wants to spend time with you.
My dad doesn't even know me.
[EVE SIGHS]
Look, it's hard. I get it.
While you both are here,
you have an opportunity
to get to know one another.
Tell him about yourself, let him in.
How?
Other kids don't have
to talk to their dads here.
This one guy at school, Damon?
His dad has a job.
He comes home at night,
eats dinner. It's normal.
To Damon, I'm probably like
this juvenile delinquent
with a dad in prison.
Okay, if Damon is your friend,
he's not gonna care where your daddy is.
He's [SIGHS]
He's not my friend.
- What, is he, is Damon bullying you?
- No.
No, uh, Damon's nice.
He plays hockey, he's smart, he's funny.
He dresses well.
He always knows what to say, and
everyone likes him.
You like him.
You know, the thing that
you have to tell your dad,
a long time ago,
I had to tell my dad the same thing.
How'd he take it?
You know, me and my dad,
we got a lot of problems,
but, uh
that wasn't one of them.
And I don't think your dad will
have a problem with it, either.
Will you help me tell him?
Yeah.
Rafael, how you feeling?
RAFAEL: I thought I was good, but
now I think I'm bleeding internally.
And if that's true
my organs are gonna start going soon.
But, hey, just keep me talking.
It'll help.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
What kind of music do you like?
[CHUCKLING]: These might
be my last minutes on Earth.
Does it really matter
that I'm into emo-pop?
Come on, guys.
Get real with me.
Do you believe in the afterlife?
JAKE: Uh, yeah, yeah, I do.
Between my dad and fiancée,
I know I'm gonna see them again.
[PANTING]
Sometimes it's the only thing
that keeps me going.
RAFAEL: Yeah, I'm with you.
My parents went first
and I got to believe
they're at
a big celestial party, just
They're waiting for me
to come through that door.
BODE: Yeah, my, uh
my sister, Riley.
I was with her when she died.
But, uh
It's been hard for me
to find anything to believe in.
[BODE GRUNTS]
[RAFAEL CHUCKLES WEAKLY]
[LAUGHING]: Bode!
I can see you.
Nice to meet you, Rafael.
[LAUGHS] Jake.
Oh, God!
I thought I'd never see the sun again.
Hey.
[RUMBLING]
Uh, it's unstable.
Rocks are still moving up there.
Secondary slide's coming.
Rafael, hang in there.
[ROCKS TUMBLING]
B, turtle formation, now.
[ROCKS STRIKING]
BODE: Cover your head, Rafael!
JAKE: [GRUNTS] Brace for impact!

JAKE: I think we're good.
[PANTING]
Hey. Rafael. You good?
I'm here.
Hey. Yo, B, your leg okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.
It's just bruising.
Come on.
All right, come on, let's get him out.
[EXHALES]
♪
You are perfect, kid.
Love whoever you were made to love.
My only regret is
the same one as always:
instead of being home
to listen and help
I'm here.
Is there anything else you want to say?
Oh, come on, you can
you can tell me anything.
There's this guy, Damon, uh
Wait, hold on.
Does my boy have a crush?
- [LAUGHTER]
- Dad, stop.
No, no, no. Y-You got
to tell me all about him.
[LAUGHTER]
He plays hockey.
I don't know anything about hockey.
I mean, I Googled it.
But still, what do I say to him
and not sound like an idiot?
Oh.
I'm gonna put you up on some game, okay?
[CHUCKLES]
So, um
Don't pretend to know anything.
- Ask him about it.
- EVE: You got this.
Show him that you're interested
in his interests.
So, your mom loved
these Twilight movies.
Do you think I care anything
about some sexy vampires?
- [CHUCKLES]
- Although, to be honest,
we ended up reading the books, too,
but that's beside the point.
And I-I'm Team Jacob.
We're gonna get into all of that.
JAKE: All right, the
secondary slide set us back,
but we're close to getting you out.
[ROCKS TUMBLING]
Wait, wait.
- BODE: Another slide?
- RAFAEL: Please, no.
JAKE: Okay, no, we're good.
RAFAEL: Uh, guys?
I need you to tell Mica something.
We met so young, and, uh
I always thought
it was too young, but now
now I know why.
[GRUNTS] Y-You can tell her yourself.
RAFAEL: Please.
Her life can't stop because mine did.
Tell her
Tell her to find her next great love.
Tell her I said so.
Promise.
Yeah. Yeah, I promise.

- [RAFAEL MOANS]
[SETS ROCK DOWN]
We don't have to. Look, you're free.
Good work.
All right, let's get him out of here.
[GROANS]
[BIRDS SINGING OUTSIDE]
I didn't mean to scare you.
Course you didn't.
I always want to remember Riley, I
She can't just disappear
somewhere into my brain.
Riley played baseball?
She was a good shortstop.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- I taught her everything, I
taught her how to field balls,
how to tag the runners, and
What about you? You play any sports?
No.
- I do sing, though.
- Ah.
For as long as I can remember.
It's, like, the only thing
I can rely on.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Look at Bode fishing.
- Yeah. Yep.
- He's so cute. [LAUGHS]
- Yeah.
Steelhead. Look at the size of that.
- Wow.
- He caught that the first time
he went fishing.
That's me. I taught the
kids how to play poker.
That is, until Sharon caught on.
She didn't like that very much.
[LAUGHS]
Aww.
- Vince and Sharon.
- Dancing.
- They're good dancers, those two, yeah.
- Yeah. They are.
I've seen it.
And Riley's sweet 16.
Yeah.
Then, couple years later,
Riley was gone,
and Bode was gone, too, we
just didn't take
any photographs after that.
[ROCKS TUMBLING]
Yep, just like that. Easy.
- [GROANS PAINFULLY]
- Good job, Rafael. Good job.
All right, this rock
should help keep you safe
from any more slides.
Bode, your knee tells me
you stay, I'll run.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
[BOTH PANTING]
Thank you, Bode.
Yeah. [PANTING]
[LIVELY CHATTER]
Hey.
You know, it's okay that
you don't want to do crafts.
Or take any pictures.
I hate taking my picture, too.
But instead of pretending
that all this doesn't suck
you want to do something
about how much it does?
Yes.
Everything you're mad at,
hit it, hit it.
Yeah, just like that. Hit it.
- There you go.
- [GABRIELA LAUGHS]
- I'm next. [LAUGHS]
- [MANNY LAUGHS]
Hey, this bag's in trouble
because she's got a right hook.
[LAUGHS] Only 'cause you taught me.
You know, my dad and I used to
be separated for a while, too.
Did it suck?
Ah, so bad.
But we get to work together now.
Like, a lot.
[MANNY CHUCKLES]
You know, we get to work
with your dad a lot, too.
And he's a dang good firefighter.
Want to show him what you're made of?
Yeah? Got your phone?
- Yeah.
- All right, let's do it.
Okay, we'll make sure
we get this to your dad.
Ready?
- Go. [LAUGHS]
- [GRUNTING]
- Whoo!
- Attaboy.
- [MANNY GRUNTS]
- [GRUNTING]
- [LAUGHS]
- There you go.
Chief, I'm sorry for everything.
What happened?
The firetruck, the kids crying,
the rescue boat, I just
Oh, that's just people.
And family. [CHUCKLES]
Family is messy.
But this, this today was a success.
I mean, I wouldn't go that far.
Really?
Every kid getting on that bus,
and every dad getting on that buggy,
what do they all have
in common right now?
That they all got problems?
[LAUGHING]
No, they're all happy.
- Mm.
- They all had a great day.
And you gave them that.
- You did really good, my friend.
- [CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTING]
[BEEPING]
Come on. I need a signal.

All right? They'll be here any minute.
[BREATHING SHALLOWLY]
[GRUNTS]
Hey
It's almost over.
No, no. Not if you don't give up.

Oh, come on, you can
you can tell me anything.
There's this guy, Damon, uh
Wait, hold on.
Does my boy have a crush?

No, no, no. Y-You got

He plays hockey.
I don't know anything about hockey.
I mean, I Googled it.
But still, what do I say to him
and not sound like an idiot?
Oh.
I'm gonna put you up on some game, okay?
[CHUCKLES]
So, um
Don't pretend to know anything.
- Ask him about it.
- EVE: You got this.
Show him that you're interested
in his interests.
So, your mom loved
these Twilight movies.
Do you think I care anything
about some sexy vampires?

we ended up reading the books, too,
but that's beside the point.
And I-I'm Team Jacob.
We're gonna get into all of that.

secondary slide set us back,

I need you to tell Mica something.
We met so young, and, uh
I always thought
it was too young, but now

Course you didn't.
I always want to remember Riley, I
She can't just disappear
somewhere into my brain.
Riley played baseball?
She was a good shortstop.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- I taught her everything, I
taught her how to field balls,
how to tag the runners, and
What about you? You play any sports?
No.
- I do sing, though.
- Ah.
For as long as I can remember.
It's, like, the only thing
I can rely on.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Look at Bode fishing.
- Yeah. Yep.
- He's so cute. [LAUGHS]
- Yeah.
Steelhead. Look at the size of that.
- Wow.
- He caught that the first time
he went fishing.
That's me. I taught the
kids how to play poker.
That is, until Sharon caught on.
She didn't like that very much.
[LAUGHS]
Aww.
- Vince and Sharon.
- Dancing.
- They're good dancers, those two, yeah.
- Yeah. They are.
I've seen it.
And Riley's sweet 16.
Yeah.
Then, couple years later,
Riley was gone,
and Bode was gone, too, we
just didn't take
any photographs after that.
[ROCKS TUMBLING]
Yep, just like that. Easy.

Yes.

in common right now?
