Fire Country (2022) s03e16 Episode Script

1
- Previously on Fire Country
- This is my sister.
KUBIAK:
Is it true your dad was
- a drug dealer?
- SHARON: Our parents were
married when we were teenagers,
and then it ended badly.
Like FBI raid badly.
You judge me.
You make a point,
if you can just
set a good example
for your children,
they'll come out perfect
- like Skye.
- Skye's in rehab.
We were a family, and because
we didn't share any DNA
when our parents split,
we split.
But here we are.
Fighting.
Apologizing.
Almost like real sisters.
MANNY:
Yo, Birch. Bro, wake up.
Tell her to call 911.
Manny, what's wrong?
Just like Birch.
Your labs show significant
levels of pesticide poisoning.
Have the camp tested.
- I got the job.
- What is the name of the company again?
It's the Oxalta Corporation.
EVE: I figured out what's
causing the outbreak.
The water. Our well source
is from Vaspar Wetlands.
SHARON: So we'll find
out who owns the land.
- EVE: Yeah.
- I work for Oxalta International Holdings.
SHARON: The corporation
that's lawyering up
against some firefighters.
- Officer Carson.
- We got to talk about your parole, Bode.
I want to know why you've been
associating with known criminals.
Pizza's here.
- You want to open this?
- Sure.
Have I mentioned how happy I am
to have you back in my life?
Only constantly.
It's-it's getting
a little weird.
[SHARON CHUCKLES]
Oh. You're not pizza.
No. And I'm not staying.
- Hey, Mick.
- Oh. You're not pizza.
Yeah, we just covered that.
What do you mean
you're not staying?
Where are you going?
My dad called.
He's feeling dizzy and
the place wants
to charge him 12 bucks
just to get his blood pressure
taken, so
[CHUCKLES]
I didn't realize you guys were
having a sister hang.
Yeah, she needs
my expert advice.
SHARON: Yeah, I'm meeting
with the company
that poisoned Three Rock
tomorrow,
and she's really good
at dealing with bad guys.
You can't let them
see you sweat, you know?
You got to stay calm.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
Um, how's being a badass
sheriff and stuff? You good?
Life's great.
Everything's great.
Totally fine and great.
You don't seem fine.
You seem a little weird
and twitchy.
Mm-mm.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Pizza.
SHARON:
Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT]
MICKEY:
I'm fine.
But you do seem
weird and twitchy.
Nope.
All right, Skye had a relapse.
- Oh, God, I'm sorry. Okay.
- She's back in rehab.
It's fine.
Everything's fine.
VINCE:
Hey, Mick.
This guy says he knows you.
Ozzie, what are you doing here?
He said you had a sister.
Are you Sharon?
I don't know. Am I?
Look, I'm not going
back up there.
What he's doing is against
the law, and I'm the sheriff.
He doesn't want to see you.
He wants to see her.
[SPUTTERS LIPS]
Get in.
Is he kidding?
Does he look like he's kidding?
No.
♪
Hey, Dad.
I-I didn't think you were
coming back up here.
I wasn't gonna let her
do this alone.
Hey, Firecracker.
Don't you "Firecracker"
me, Wes Fox!
You want to see me, so you send
your right-hand man
to throw me in the back
of a cargo van,
like I'm a hostage?
When you say it like that,
you make it sound weird.
And she said,
before you had the van,
you used to put her
in your trunk?
- Once.
- Oh.
Look, it was just
the last five miles.
Okay.
People think
I grow illegal weed.
I don't.
[CLEARS THROAT]
But I still like to keep
my home location a secret.
Especially from the sheriff.
Your daughter is the sheriff.
Well, you see the bind
that that puts me in.
Is that a new truck, Dad?
Don't get started on my trucks.
Come on. I got a
surprise for you.
Sharon, you're with me.
Ozzie, you and Mickey
take that one.
Where are we going?
We are going to the bank.
[ENGINE STARTS]
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING,
LIVELY CHATTER]
It's your friendly
parole officer here
for a surprise drug test.
[SCOFFS] I'm clean.
Good. And you're no longer
working for the weed grower?
[SIGHS] Look, man,
I'm trying to help my family.
Got a lot of bills
for my grandfather.
Lot of ways to earn extra cash.
All I'm doing is helping Wes
clear some brush and down trees.
I don't care if you're
helping him cure cancer.
You keep working for Wes Fox,
you're going back to prison.
SHARON:
Ooh, what the hell?
Dad, I should not
be seeing this.
- Close your eyes.
- How much is in there?
It's half a million.
There you go, boss.
Look, I heard about Walter.
And I want you to have this.
Oh, hey, I can't
accept this, Wes.
50 grand.
Can I accept this?
No.
You know, the best part
about marrying your mother
was that I got a bonus daughter
in the deal.
When we divorced, I wish I'd
wish I'd tried a little harder
to stay in touch.
Money's my way of trying
to say that I'm sorry.
That's really generous, Wes.
I got to do something with it.
She won't let me help Skye.
Oh, he doesn't get the irony of
paying for rehab with drug money.
How do you know it's drug money?
I grow a lot of crops.
Yeah, you can't get this kind
of cash from selling tomatoes.
It's not about money!
She won't even let me
speak to my granddaughter.
No, she tells the rehab that,
um, I am not a "safe person."
Okay, Dad, if you're mad at me,
talk to me, not Sharon.
Well, I didn't know if I was
allowed to speak to you.
Might trigger you.
No. Don't do that to her.
She's defending her kid.
Look, Skye is really
vulnerable right now.
I know that,
and I'm trying to help her.
By telling her I'm the problem?
That I pathologize everything?
She said that, not me.
She-she was venting.
She-she was venting,
and I-I wanted her to know
that I was, I was on her side.
How about you be on my side?
Stop telling her
that I am the bad guy.
S-Stop telling her
that I'm the bad guy.
You're growing illegal drugs!
You are the literal bad guy!
Okay, and we stay calm
with bad guys.
Look, I want to see you,
I want to come up here, I do,
but then I see all this other
stuff that I shouldn't be seeing.
[STAMMERS]: Like the butane
in the back of your vans
to extract hash oil
and all these trucks you buy
to launder your money.
Wow, I just saw
a really cool truck.
I'm the sheriff, Dad.
It puts me in a bind,
is what I'm saying.
It forces me to look
the other way.
And I can't look the other way
when it comes to my daughter.
She's susceptible
to all of this.
The fancy cars
and the easy money and you.
You can be in my life.
But I will not have her
become you.
Let's go.
Hey, uh, Ozzie, can we,
can we have a ride?
When I die, I'm leaving
all of this to Skye.
I'm gonna have a lawyer
draw it up.
So you-you can walk away.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Skye can't!
I won't, I won't,
I won't have it.
♪
Hey.
Wh-What's going on?
Where's everyone?
Uh, they came last night
and shipped everyone out.
Sharon's meeting
with lawyers today.
She wants me there.
Then they're gonna come,
ship me out, too.
To where?
I don't know.
Another fire camp?
Do you ever feel like
the world's out to get you?
Oh, mija.
I almost died.
But I didn't.
It's why I consider myself
a very lucky man.
I hate it when you won't join me
in my dark view of the world.
[CHUCKLES] There is
a lot of bad in the world.
But there's much more good.
So you look for the good.
All right?
Okay.
At least take my phone,
so we can stay in contact.
- Gabriela, I can't
- And I will get a new one.
I almost lost you.
I can't lose you again.
Come here.
[PHONE VIBRATING]
MANNY:
Hey, what does Bode want?
JAKE: There you go.
Thank you.
Hey, Jake, I asked Gabs
if she can cover for me today
while I head up to Wes's place.
You cool with that?
Mm!
Are we cool enough friends
that you can just take
food off my plate?
[MUFFLED]:
I think so.
[SCOFFS]
We're still on standby
for the Elbow Creek Fire,
which would be
a good experience for you.
They're at 40% containment.
We're not getting called in on that.
Also, Gabs wants the
extra work so she can
keep her mind off of
Manny shipping out.
Okay, but be careful.
Yeah. Okay.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Uh, why is Manny shipping out?
Because your company
turned Three Rock
into a hazardous
waste dump site.
Can I get the syrup?
VIOLET:
But it's gonna get cleaned up.
Uh, I heard we made
a settlement offer.
It will barely cover
the ground remediation
and the crack in the well.
Oh, not to mention
the pain and suffering
from the family
of my dead inmate.
How about we not blame
my girlfriend for that?
- Your who?
- Girlfriend?
- It's too soon?
- Not for me.
Well, it's a little
too soon for me.
Have a good rest of the day.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[LAUGHS]
♪
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
Morning, sunshine.
When did this get here?
Uh, little while ago.
Getting cold. I got to
get my babies inside.
Hey, hey!
Be careful with that.
Gentle. It's a
special strain.
It's what Hendrix was smoking
at Woodstock.
[CHUCKLES]
Come on, Bode.
Let's get to work.
[CLEARS THROAT]
BODE: Hey, Wes. I-I can't, I
can't work for you anymore.
My P.O., he's just
he's on my case,
and I-I told him that I'm not
doing anything that's criminal,
but he's not gonna let it slide.
Hey, Ozzie, you ever
tell Bode what you did
before you started
working for me?
- Taught school.
- Yeah, that's right.
Ozzie was Mr. Morales,
sixth grade teacher.
Making 35K a year before taxes.
Hey, you want to talk about
criminal? That's criminal.
Somebody work their tail off
and not be able to
afford their bills.
I pay my people well.
That right, Oz?
That's right.
I'm-I'm and I appreciate
everything that you've done for me,
but I just, I can't
I can't keep this.
No, you earned that
fair and square.
Not according to my P.O.
What do you believe?
You think that's dirty money?
You overthink things, Bode.
Ozzie, looks like it's just
me and you from here on out.
Look, you're-you're gonna need
a wrench with that. Here.
- I got one here, boss.
- Oh, no.
Got one right here in the box.
[HISSES]
[SHOUTS] Snake!
[GROANING]
[GROANS] How the hell
did that get in there?
- We got antivenom, right, boss?
- Yes.
- OZZIE: In the first aid kit?
- WES: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
WES: It's a rattler. I
didn't hear a damn rattle.
No warning.
That's because
its rattle was cut off.
I think someone was
trying to kill you, Wes.
♪
Gabs, hey. Wes just got
bit by a rattlesnake.
He's got antivenom here, but I
need you to talk me through it.
Yeah. Yeah, it's
red and swelling.
Okay. Hey.
Take any jewelry off, watch
or whatever you got on there,
and keep, uh, keep that bite
below your heart.
- It's gone. The antivenom's gone.
- WES: It can't be gone!
- We haven't used it!
- It's not in here, Wes!
You got antivenom at 42?
You got to have some on the rig.
Yeah, we got an emergency dose.
Then let's go to 42.
No, Wes, I'm taking
you to the hospital.
No, I am not going
to a hospital.
They'll put me
on a 48-hour observe.
I don't have time.
Somebody's trying to kill me.
- Wes
- Give me that damn
Hello. Yeah.
This is Wes Fox.
Look, I need you to fire up
some antivenom.
Rattlesnake. Yeah.
We're heading down.
Be there soon.
[GRUNTS] You're driving.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Thank you for coming here.
Obviously, we're interested in
resolving this outside of court.
Oh, I'm really glad
to hear that,
because your settlement offer
suggested that you weren't
really serious about
accepting liability.
Oh, it's not a settlement.
Violet can explain the details.
Uh, yes. So we're
calling this a donation
And that comes in
right after your company dumped
a bunch of pesticides
at Three Rock
is at least
a tacit admission of guilt.
So we thought it would be good
if you met one of the inmates
who was harmed
by your negligence
in order to inspire you
to increase your "donation."
- Oh, I thought
- This was a tour.
Yes, I know.
I didn't think you would come
if I told you this part.
Manny Perez, this is
Bruce Merriweather from Oxalta.
Hey.
Oh. You're not
He's not
In handcuffs? No.
Our inmates are unrestrained
and not locked up.
We trust them.
Oh. Neat.
[CHUCKLING]
[TIRES SCREECH]
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING]
Hey.
You told my dad?
Of course I did.
Did you draw a line to track
the spread of the venom?
It's moving. Where's the shot?
Hey, Wes.
Heard you had some bad luck.
J-Just do this.
No, you're gonna go
to the hospital.
- Jake's gonna take you in my truck.
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Nope.
I told Bode I'm not going.
Don't care what you told Bode.
I'm talking to you now.
Okay, it's safer for you
to get it done there.
I called ahead. They're gonna
meet you outside the ER.
You'll have the shot
in your arm in four minutes.
Okay, Wes, let's go.
When you're back,
I'd appreciate
if you stayed away from Bode,
who's on parole,
shouldn't be working for you.
Dad, I-I can explain.
You want to throw
your freedom away?
This place is yours.
Just a couple of years.
All you got to do is
just stay out of trouble.
Give me the shot.
I got high cholesterol,
I got hypertension,
and now I got rattlesnake
venom coursing through me.
So the longer I wait,
the worse it's gonna be.
I don't feel like dying today.
I got it right here.
- What are you waiting for?
- WES: Who called you?
Now, do as you're told.
Look, we all drank
from the taps.
And it was never a
problem until recently.
You know, guys,
they started getting sick.
And then
[SIGHS]
And then Birch
[SIGHS] We didn't know
what was happening.
And then I got sick.
And before we realized
that it was the water,
I was already hospitalized.
Wow.
Thank you for sharing that.
I'm really sorry that happened,
but I think it's a
little more complicated
than you drank some
water and almost died.
No, it's not.
I don't mean to embarrass you,
Mr. Perez,
but I understand
you used to be a heavy drinker.
I'm sorry, uh,
I don't see how that's
MERRIWEATHER:
Relevant?
Well, hypothetically,
let's say there was
some contaminated
spillage from our plant
that got into your water supply
and affected Mr. Perez
and a few other men.
Eight other men,
besides Mr. Birch, who died.
Right, and the other
eight had mild symptoms.
It's just Mr. Birch and
Mr. Perez who really suffered.
Both of whom had a history
of alcohol and drug abuse.
So you're blaming us for this?
[LAUGHS]
A man died.
A good man with a family.
He died.
You should be the one
wearing handcuffs right now!
VIOLET: Okay.
Um, I-I think what he means
is that it's complicated
and there's fault
to go around here.
Like with
the Department of Corrections
and the crack in the well.
And the company
is not in a position to
MERRIWEATHER: Whoa,
whoa, whoa. Your well has a crack?
Maybe this is a good time
for us to take a break.
Come on, Manny.
[SIGHS]
[GROANS] I'm feeling better now.
Bode can take me home.
No, no, you're not going home.
All right? Somebody just
tried to kill you, Dad.
Ozzie gave me
a whole list of people
who might want you dead.
- He did, did he?
- Yeah.
We're gonna take you to the
hospital for observation,
and then a detective is
gonna come interview you.
I don't want to involve
the sheriff.
Well, too late. I'm involved.
You know Mojave Sutton, right?
Yeah, but the last time
I saw him,
we were putting out that fire at
his grow and he got sent to jail.
Well, he's out.
He's back,
and he's making threats.
He said, uh,
it's time for new blood
on this mountain.
Well, I told him to go to hell.
Why didn't you tell me that?
Well, I'm telling you that
right now
because I think he did it.
Go talk to him before
he finds out that I'm alive.
Now, he'll panic, and there's
no telling what'll happen,
so you take Bode with you.
I don't want him to think
that it's just cops.
Thanks, Dad.
I know how to do my job.
And I know this mountain.
[SIGHS]
All right.
I'll go to the hospital
if you go tell Mojave
that I'm not looking
to retaliate.
I don't have a turf war
in me anymore.
There's a crack in the well?
Technically, it's
the holding tank, but yeah.
The report just came in
this morning.
And how did Violet find out?
It slipped.
Uh, we were at Jake's,
it was early, and I wasn't
thinking right. I'm sorry.
You understand
this gives them an out?
They can say it's our fault,
and they're not 100% wrong.
Yes, they would be.
They dumped the pesticides.
And I think we should
take them to court.
They have deeper pockets than us
and really sleazy tactics.
Merriweather can't wait
to get this in front of a jury,
and then he can say we failed
to inspect our equipment
and every inmate in here is
an alcoholic and a drug addict.
They don't deserve any sympathy.
No. We go to court, we lose.
♪
Thanks for coming, Mojave.
Do you know why you're here?
[GRUNTS] I got an idea.
I want to know why he's here.
Um, I remember the fire
from the mountain there
at your place.
You surrendered yourself
for your kid.
You care about your family.
Well, so do I.
She's family.
Wes is her dad, and somebody
tried to take him out.
So, tell me
what you know about it.
Well, word on the mountain is
he got bit.
Word in town is you did it.
[CHUCKLES]
Look, for the record, he's
willing to let this go.
I'm not so nice.
So, why don't you tell me
what you know, why you did it.
Maybe I'll find a reason
not to wreck your life.
My life's already wrecked.
I lost my kid
when I went to prison,
so don't come at me
all family man to family man.
I'm all about me now.
Do I think your dad should
hang it up? Hell yeah.
That's a long way from trying
to kill the old man.
And one thing
you should know about me.
If I do take a swing at someone,
I don't miss.
Now, I have things to do.
Mojave, I, uh
I'm sorry about your kid.
This is
information that we got
from Wes.
Hmm.
Well, even more reason why he
doesn't belong up on the mountain.
Old man turned into a snitch.
He's not a snitch.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
He offered up Mojave so easily,
and I totally fell for it.
[DIALING]
Hi. It's Mickey Fox.
I'm checking in on
my dad, Wes Fox.
We dropped him into the
ER about an hour ago.
Fell for what?
He knew we wouldn't
leave him alone,
so he gave us someone to chase.
Okay. Okay, thanks.
He left the ER five minutes
after we dropped him off.
To where?
To find who really
tried to kill him.
Okay, got it. [SIGHS]
He gives Gifford Motors
so much business
they should just
change their name
to Wes Fox Money Laundering.
He walked there?
I don't know,
but he left
in a black 2021 Range Rover.
I put a BOLO out for the car.
I got this, Bode.
You don't have to
Okay, well, you know what?
That rattlesnake means
that somebody wants
to make this look
like it was an accident.
Okay. Stop. You're not a
detective. You're not going to help.
I just got your mom back.
I'm not endangering your life.
You won't be.
Wes isn't a bad guy.
[SCOFFS]
He's not a good guy either.
You need to start
seeing him more clearly.
So do you.
Okay.
Now you sound like Skye.
It's because I am Skye.
I'm the poster child for
messing up and addiction.
She needs her family right now
more than ever
I lost so much time with Walter
when I was in prison that
Let Wes know Skye
while-while he still can.
[PHONE RINGS]
Fox.
Okay, got it.
They spotted the car going up
the mountain, and then they lost it.
He must be heading home.
I don't know where that is.
Thanks, Bode.
You heard Vince.
He was all like,
"This is your place, Bode.
42 is your legacy."
Jake, he was just talking
Yeah, yeah, and I heard.
Loud and clear.
"There is no room for you
to grow here, Jake."
That's what I heard.
Don't make this about you.
Don't make it about me?
[MUTTERS]
Gabs, I do my best.
I-I try to be good, honorable.
Don't seek accolades.
Make sure my work
speaks for me, but
But what?
No matter what I do,
Vince is going to hand the keys
to the kingdom to Bode.
VINCE:
How's Elbow Creek?
[STAMMERS]
Fire's winding down, Chief.
Just aerial crews now.
All right.
Well, you got a visitor.
Somebody named Finn.
Chief, I was just
blowing off steam.
I-I don't know how long
you were standing there
Long enough to hear what I'm
gonna do with the keys to the kingdom.
Think, Bode. Is there
a worker that he fired?
Someone he did dirty?
No.
He treats
all of his workers great.
Who has access to his toolbox?
He keeps it in the van.
The van's always locked.
- Ozzie has keys.
- Ozzie worships Wes.
- Have you ever seen them fight?
- Never.
Wes loves Ozzie.
Yeah, he's always telling him
that he'll take care of him
and that the land is
gonna go to him.
My dad said the land was
going to Skye last night.
He said he was gonna get his
lawyer to draw up a contract.
And Ozzie heard?
Every word.
So he needs my dad dead
before he can go to his lawyer.
But the snake didn't work,
- Wes figured it out, and now
- He's gonna kill Ozzie.
[SIREN WAILING]
[DOOR OPENS]
[SIGHS]
VIOLET: Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
That was a private conversation
- that was not supposed to be shared.
- I know.
I was hanging out
with my friends
Yes, look,
I [SIGHS]
I know we're not friends.
- I know you don't like me.
- Yeah, you got that right.
But I like him, Eve.
I really like Jake.
And I know I messed up.
I don't know why I said that.
But now I don't even know
if I want this job anymore.
Yeah, well, I want my job.
This place is a second chance
for these guys who barely
even had a first chance.
And now it's gonna shut down,
and I don't
Can I just?
Look, I'm
I'm gonna put
my phone down here.
Yeah, I don't care
where you put your phone.
You should. You should care.
Wait, what is this,
some, like, Deep Throat/
Watergate-coded nonsense?
I'm gonna get some air.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[SIREN WAILING]
WES:
Oz! Took me for a fool, huh?
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Ozzie!
Ozzie, stop!
Ozzie
He lost his temper.
Right, Ozzie?
You just lost your temper, man.
You got to understand,
I got sick parents, too.
I was counting on
getting this grow!
I understand.
Put the gun down
and we can talk.
WES:
Dude, you're a good man.
Don't do anything stupid, okay?
Ozzie!
Ozzie? Dad!
Ozzie, put the gun down.
BODE:
Ozzie, no! Ozzie!
[GRUNTS]
BODE:
Wes! Wes!
- Dad!
- Wes!
Wes!
Wes, stay low and get
to the back of the container.
We're gonna get you out.
Is there, is there water,
a hose that we can use?
I don't know if that's
gonna work on this.
The vent. The vent in the top.
MICKEY:
Okay, I'll pull the car up.
This is Sheriff One
from Adam One.
I'm at a structure fire
near Alpine Ridge.
Sending GPS coordinates.
Here. Take my hand.
Hi.
Uh, were we
uh, did we have plans?
I'm sorry,
it's-it's been a weird day,
and I picked up
an extra shift from Bode, uh
No, I know.
I talked to your dad.
You talked to my dad?
We have been
on exactly one date,
and I thought
it was time I met him.
Gabs, I called you,
and he answered.
[LAUGHS] That's right.
Yes. He has my phone.
I know, I know.
So I got you this.
Um
A-A phone?
You you bought me
a phone?
And I was literally
driving by the mall,
and, uh, I thought
I'd do a nice thing.
And now that I see
your expression,
I'm realizing it was
a weird thing to do.
[ALARM CHIMING]
Uh
I'm trying to see
more good in the world,
and-and this is good, right?
This is nice.
Yeah, that-that was the idea.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I-I will call you.
Because I can.
- Yeah.
- Because I have a phone. Bye!
Bye.
[BOTH PANTING]
Dad! Wait, wait,
wait, wait.
Whoever goes down
has got to come back up.
I'm lighter to lift.
[GROANING]
- Dad, can you move?
- Yeah.
Get up.
[GRUNTING, COUGHING]
Come on, get on the table.
[GROANING]
- Here we go. Here we go.
- I can't
Ready?
[GROANING]
[PAINED GROANING]
Come on.
Come on.
You can make it.
- I can lower this back down.
- There's no time! [GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]
[PANTING] Everybody okay?
The fire's spreading
into the woods.
We got to get down there.
[SIRENS APPROACHING]
Come on, let's go.
[EMERGENCY HORN HONKS]
[URGENT CHATTER]
All right, Jake,
you and 42 take the container.
68, start running line
into the woods. Let's go.
Thanks for the tour, but I
think we're at a stalemate.
I think you should
sit back down.
There's a crack in your well.
The waters have been muddied.
The waters have been poisoned.
And not just here.
Also at your plant at Louisville
where the spillage
into the housing project
killed four people.
Uh, where did you get
that information?
That's your response to that?
No, I It doesn't
change the fact that
That there's a crack in the well
at Three Rock?
Do you know what the protocol is
when there's a crack
in a well? I didn't.
It goes like this.
The inspector comes out,
and they take a water sample,
and then they send it off
to the lab,
and they check for pH levels
and turbidity
and toxic materials.
There's a crack in the well
at Three Rock,
so when we had it tested
11 months ago,
there was no toxicity
in the water
and no emergent need to fix it.
But then you guys come to town,
and suddenly the water is
filled with toxins.
That coupled with the fact
that this isn't your first rodeo
poisoning people to death
makes me think that you should
really sit back down.
♪
I knew it was Ozzie the moment
I saw there was no antivenom.
Who else could it be?
Why didn't you tell me?
'Cause I wanted a chance
to fix it.
Let him explain himself.
He was laying in wait
for me when I got here.
He'd already spread
the lighter fluid.
I should have brought my gun.
Never thought
he'd try to kill me twice.
You didn't kill him 'cause
you're a good person, Dad.
- Bode was right.
- You doubted that?
You don't make it easy.
I may not be the dad you want,
but I'm the one you got.
And I'm the one you got.
A sheriff.
Ah. Every family's got
a black sheep.
There we go.
Take good care of him for me.
All right, come on.
This time, you are
going to the hospital.
VINCE: Sheriff, you want to
get your guys out of my hot zone?
Ozzie's heading
back up the mountain.
He's going to the bank.
- I got to go get him.
- No.
- You're not doing that.
- It's right up the valley.
Yeah, and the fire's
running up the mountain.
The winds are kicking up.
It's too dangerous.
I got a potential murderer
out there.
All right?
I'm not walking away from that.
Well, I can't let you just
go chasing him into a fire.
Not without one of
my guys, anyway.
Hey, send-send me. I'll go.
I can go. I know
where the bank is.
No. Bode, uh, go up
to the main road,
keep it clear
for emergency traffic.
- Jake, go with Mickey.
- All right.
I want you back in ten minutes.
Copy, Chief.
The bus is here.
Am I going to another fire camp?
No.
Prison. Lompoc.
[LAUGHS]
[SNIFFLES]
You know, I told my daughter
to look for the good
in the world.
I'm having a hard time
seeing it myself.
Look, I'm gonna take care
of Gabs.
I know.
Is Sharon still in there?
Yeah, it's a little intense.
Yeah, well,
she's gonna make sure
they don't poison
any more people.
See, there it is.
A little bit of good, man.
[LAUGHS]
[ENGINE REVVING]
OZZIE:
Damn it!
MICKEY: Ozzie!
Stop!
Put that gun down!
Why don't you let me skate,
Mickey?
Why don't you let me
just take ten grand,
and you'll never see me again?
Drop that gun now!
- Do it!
- Okay.
I'm gonna slowly put it down.
Hands up, behind your head.
Turn around.
You're under arrest.
Okay. Hey, we got to go now!
- What about the money, Mickey?
- Don't worry about the money.
Go. We got to move.
JAKE:
Chief, we're headed back now.
Fire's running across
the mouth of the valley.
Is there another way
out of here?
No. It's closed off
on three sides.
That's why
he keeps his money here.
You hear that?
Yeah, I heard.
Just come back the way you came.
I'll find you a way out.
MICKEY:
We can't go this way!
JAKE:
We can't go back.
All I see is fire.
He said to go back
the way we came.
Hang on.
Hey, Chief, we're running
out of options here.
[STATIC CRACKLING]
He said to keep going.
He must have a plan.
Mickey. Mickey. Hey.
Trust me. I trust him.
All right?
[AIRPLANE APPROACHING]
Wait! Wait!
Water drop!
[PANTING]
[LAUGHS]
All right, stay with me.
SHARON:
Hey.
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
You got them to pay
to clean up Three Rock?
That's not all I got.
- JAKE: Hey, Chief.
- VINCE: Hey.
I'm sorry about before,
that you overheard that.
Look, I don't have
any beef with Bode.
I want him to succeed,
really I do.
But I want that, too.
And I want to know
if there's room here
for me to grow.
Are you not growing
already here?
Every day,
getting better at the job?
Yes, no. I know, but
I'm captain,
and the next step is
battalion chief.
I just want to know
if I'm in line.
For my job?
Well, yeah, that's the plan.
Eventually
to be you.
Okay, Jake, listen,
I appreciate your ambition,
but I'm not dead yet.
Copy, Chief.
- Hi.
- Oh, my God!
What are you doing?
I broke in. You really got to
start using your deadbolts.
What's wrong?
I went to visit Dad
in the hospital.
- He's in the hospital?
- Oh.
Right. It's been a long day.
A lot happened.
Um, everyone's fine.
Mostly everyone.
Okay, now you're
just scaring me.
[SIGHS]
I-I told him that if we're gonna
have a relationship,
he's got to go legal
or I've got to stop
being sheriff.
You know, and I'm-I'm not
gonna stop being sheriff.
You said that to him?
I did.
I said it calmly
like you're supposed to do
- with the bad guys.
- With the bad guys.
Um, I told him
that I didn't want his money.
I want him.
I do.
I really want my dad in my life.
I see you do. I know you do.
And I thought
that if I asked him nicely,
you know, that he'd
Um, he said
he was too old to change.
Um, so
He said no.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
It's gonna be okay.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING,
LIVELY CHATTER]
[GROANS SOFTLY]
Finn got me this.
That's not weird, right?
Like, he knew I needed one,
so he went out and got one.
It's a little bit weird.
You and I just think that
because we're damaged.
No, we're not.
Yes, we are. So damaged.
Bode, I think I'm cursed,
and you think you're invincible.
No, I d I don't.
You knew that
you could get in trouble
going to work for Wes,
and you still did it anyways.
You got to be careful,
or they can send you back
to prison like they did my dad.
No, don't get mad.
I'm just looking out for you.
That's I'm not mad.
That's not what this look is.
- No?
- No.
- What is it th
- Hey.
- You're out?
- I'm out.
I'm out, baby girl. I'm out.
I'm out.
What? Like, forever?
Out, like, forever.
How? Why? What-what
Sharon, she, uh,
she made a deal.
Got the company
to pay for cleanup
and got the D.O.C.
to release me early.
So the D.O.C. and the company
admitted negligence?
Yeah, not exactly.
I had to agree not to sue them
and sign an NDA.
I mean, I-I don't know
if I did the right thing,
though, you know?
You did the right thing.
Yeah?
Oh! [LAUGHS]
I can make us pasta
or, oh, grilled cheese.
Grilled cheese. Great.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Oh, it's Bode.
SHARON:
Uh, Bode, come in.
I'm just about
to make some grilled cheese.
You made Manny sign an NDA?
I didn't make Manny do anything.
What choice did he have?
I got Manny out of prison
today, for good,
and I got Oxalta
to clean up Three Rock.
By agreeing to stay silent?
And-and asking him
just to stay silent.
So now Oxalta can go on and
and do this in-in another town?
Is that really my fault?
Hey, this, um
this is from Wes.
C-Can you just
can you give it back to him?
You know, my-my P.O. says
that this is all dirty money
and that Wes is dangerous,
but Wes didn't kill anybody,
and they did.
So I don't see how this money
is any dirtier than the money
that you took today.
That's not really fair.
Bode, come on.
Don't walk out.
[DOOR CLOSES]
How did I become the bad guy?
