Fire and Ice

Previously on Fire Country
You got them to pay
to clean up Three Rock.
That's not all I got.
You're out?
I'm out, baby girl, I'm out.
The DOC and the company
admitted negligence?
MANNY: Sharon made a deal.
Had to agree not to sue
them and sign an NDA.
I don't see how this money
is any dirtier
than the money that you took today.
VINCE: It's moving
day over to Buena Vista.
I'll never forgive you for this. Ever.
AUDREY: Neighbor guy from
the hoarder house? He's cute.
My future is bright
and possibly with Finn.
I think that the universe
thinks we should have dinner together.
JAKE: I'm captain,
and the next step is
battalion chief.
I just want to know if I'm in line.
For my job?
Eventually.
I appreciate your ambition,
but I'm not dead yet.
Copy, Chief.

Chief. Hey. You leaving?
Uh, yeah. I have
an early shift tomorrow.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I know that making a deal
with Oxalta was complicated.
And I know that a lot of people
weren't happy about it,
but you-you gave me my dad back.
I know, and I know that part
of the deal was right.
Okay.
I will see you at the station tomorrow.
Okay.
SHARON: Enjoy.
Good night.
You still pissed at your mom?

(SONG ENDS, CROWD CHEERING)
(LAUGHING)
GABRIELA: Hey.
Last call.
Oh, boy.
Uh, you know our friends own the place.
You'd think we'd actually get
a last last call.
Cheers to that.
- Salud.
- Salud.
(SIGHS)
So, mija, your new boy,
is he gonna swing by?
¿Cómo se llama? Phil?
(CHUCKLES): You're wrong.
(LAUGHING)
Finn. And he's not my new boy.
We're still very casual.
Oh, come on, Gabs, don't be coy.
I mean, he basically
met your dad already.
On the phone.
When's the next time
you're gonna see him?
(CHUCKLES): Uh, tomorrow, actually.
Ah.
Mm. Super casual.
GABRIELA: No, he's gonna be lending
his photography skills
for the recruitment push.
- Hmm.
- So he's gonna be
doing a ride-along and then taking
- some action shots.
- MANNY: Oh, cool.
Wait, a ride-along with 42?
Yeah, Vince okayed it.
Yeah, at the station that I captain
without even giving me a heads-up.
All right, it's closing time.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Coming, Papa?
Uh, nah, nah.
I think I'm gonna hang back,
help Bode close things up.
Mm.
You be safe, okay?
Love you.
Hey.
- I'll see you.
- All right.
Welcome back.
(SIGHS)
You left the party early.
Yeah.
Uh, rest of it go okay?
Yeah. Went off without a hitch.
Except Bode barely even
made eye contact with me.
I didn't realize the Oxalta deal
was gonna cost me my son.
Bode's never been easy.
But he always finds his way back to us,
sooner or later.
Hopefully sooner rather than later.
We're both working OT tomorrow at 42.
Well, stand your ground.
You did what needed to be done, right?
Yeah.
Maybe having work as a buffer
will be a good thing.
I wish I had a buffer tomorrow.
I got to go see Dad.
For the first time.
(CHUCKLES) What do you mean
"for the first time"?
You went over there the other day
to take his blood pressure 'cause
you didn't want to spend $12.
Well, it turns out
the 12 bucks was worth it.
I never went inside.
Never got out of my truck,
never left the parking lot.
Sorry I didn't tell you.
(SIGHS)
Oh, it's just (SIGHS)
You know, when Dad was living with us,
that's the most I've seen him in years.
That was really hard for you.
And then he moved out.
And it got quiet.
Easy, again.
I just feel like walking into
that place tomorrow, I'm
asking for a fight.
Look, you really don't
have to help me do this.
Especially if you're gonna
look miserable doing it.
(SIGHS)
Survivor's guilt?
I paid for my freedom
with silence, Bode.
And it's not that I'm not
grateful to your mom. I am, but
She should've never
put you in that position.
What Oxalta did, it was wrong.
(CHUCKLES): I mean,
they put me in the hospital.
But me going free while the rest
of my guys are still in there?
And while Birch is dead?
Sorry, we're we're actually closed.
Not looking for a drink.
Just Sharon Leone. Is she around?
No. No, she's not.
I'm-I'm her son, Bode.
Oh. Uh, Renée Hoffman.
You used to date my dad.
I also used to drink wine out of a box.
Neither are true anymore.
(CHUCKLES)
I'm a lawyer, one who's very interested
in that deal that your mom just made.
Oh, come on.
You're one of those
Oxalta lawyers? (SCOFFS)
When the hell are you guys
just gonna stop?
Okay, working for Oxalta
would actually kill my soul.
All right? I'm looking to
build a class action lawsuit
to get justice for the people
who were poisoned.
I've been tracking Oxalta
from Louisville to Edgewater,
just trying to get
their victims to speak out.
I see.
I think you mean trying to get
us to break our NDAs, right?
"Our NDAs"?
How are you involved?
I drank some bad water.
Hmm.
Well, I don't harbor
any illusions in flipping NDAs.
But if I could get
a meeting with Sharon,
then maybe I could get a list of inmates
who might be willing
to talk off the record.
If you can get people to talk,
then what?
- Bode, don't even think
- Manny, Manny.
This could bring Oxalta down.
Right?
No promises.
But if I can get those names,
we've got a chance.
I can get you the meeting.
Bode, come on.
I appreciate the assist.
Here you go.
(MANNY GROANS)
And, uh
if you change your mind?
(SIGHS)
I've only been a free man
for a few days,
and I already got
a woman's phone number.
(CHUCKLES) Would you look at that?
(LAUGHS)
♪
GABRIELA: (CHUCKLES) Wow.
These are incredible.
You're an artist.
I can't wait to see you in action.
I-I should get back to work.
You know? So you could get to work, too.
Right. Work.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
(CAMERA CLICKING)
Oh!
- Sorry.
- It's all good.
Cap, I-I was a little distracted
by the man with the giant camera.
You could've told me it was picture day.
I would've worn
my hair down or something.
I'm joking, Cap.
- Regulation hairstyles only.
- Yeah.
Well, uh, it was news to me, too.
Well, at least you'll be doing
cool stuff in Finn's photos.
I'm just ready for probie period
to be done.
Want to start climbing
the ladder, like you did.
James, you're ambitious.
That's great.
But here, 42 has a ceiling, a hard one.
Your best bet is to learn the skills
you need to launch and then move on
to a station that offers growth.
SHARON (IN DISTANCE):
You are out of your damn mind!
BODE (IN DISTANCE): You're
not even gonna consider it?
- SHARON: There's nothing to consider!
- Excuse me.
BODE: But she has a point.
She really thinks we can
make a difference.
SHARON: It's not up to you, Bode.
I am not meeting with Renée!
Not a chance! Discussion over!
All right, look, give them some privacy.
BODE: What's the
harm in-in talking to her?
Ugh, Bode, she is an ambulance chaser,
who is trying to blow the deal
I made with Oxalta by using Manny!
You can say goodbye
to all the money I got for him
and for Birch's family.
Yeah. You got 'em money.
What about justice?
I didn't just get them money.
I got Oxalta to clean up the camp.
I got the DOC to give
Manny back his freedom.
Hey, guys.
Manny isn't free. Silencing him
is just another form of prison.
Come on, you cannot be this naive.
Really?
I think that maybe you forgot
that I went to prison.
Bode. Enough.
Chief
This is between me and my son.
Okay, well, then you take that
to your damn house.
There he's your son.
Here, at Station 42,
he is a probie and
I am your division chief!
(ALARM CHIMING)
GREENCREST DISPATCH: Station 42,
MCI at Mount Shasta Park Slopes.
Let's go, 42.
♪
You didn't want to ride
with your boyfriend?
(LAUGHS): Why does everyone
keep saying that he's my
I-I don't know what
you're talking about.
There is a smile
permanently glued to your face.
Come on, spill.
Okay, fine.
Finn is cute and funny and
talented and thoughtful.
And he's totally into you.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Admit it, you're hot for shutterbug.
Honestly?
I haven't looked forward to a
first kiss like this since Bode.
Mm.
What?
Wasn't that long ago
we couldn't even say the B-word
in front of each other.
(CHUCKLES)
(CAMERA CLICKING)
(ENGINE REVVING)
(URGENT CHATTER,
INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
(CAMERA CLICKING)
SHARON: Hey, firefighters.
30 minutes ago,
the ski lift malfunctioned.
The motor started rotating
the bull wheels so fast
that the cable snapped.
Anybody on board at the time?
Yes. The lucky ones had a rough ride
up to the lift station. And the rest
Thrown onto the mountain.
Yeah.
And how many are there?
Ski patrol's thinking
that we have ten,
so we need to get going.
Perez, they're gonna let us
use this space for triage.
Take who you need and set up.
Jake, split the rest. Let's get to
search and rescue. Thank you.
GABRIELA: All right, you two,
I need Lifepaks and all
the med bags we can spare.
(CAMERA CLICKING)
JAKE: Okay, probies, let's go.
AUDREY: Excuse me.
SHARON: Hey, uh, guys?
Back there at the station,
things got a little bit tense.
Out here in the field,
we let that all go.
Work together as a team, following
the chain of command, of course.
Understood?
- Copy, Chief.
- Yes, ma'am.
Mm-hmm.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
AMES: Yo, what you doing
up there, OG?
Hey. You guys are back early.
What's up? (EXCITED CHATTER)
MAN: What's up, big man?
Oh, what's up? Welcome back.
Man, I could not get out
of that cell fast enough.
I bet, man.
Uh, since Eve's up in Sacramento
trying to organize the
DOC side of the cleanup,
I had to make sure my guys had
the proper welcome back, huh?
Yo, no lie, when they
pulled us up out of here
and sent us back to prison, man, I
was scared I was gonna be spending
the rest of my time behind bars.
Yeah, well, you don't
have to worry about that.
Because soon enough,
that well's gonna be fixed,
and all y'all, you're all gonna
be back on calls real soon.
Yeah, like nothing ever happened.
Long as we keep our mouth shut.
C.O.: Boys!
Outside for processing.
AMES: All right, Manny.
- It's good to see you, bro.
- You, too, man.
No offense,
but be a stranger, all right?
You're out of here, man. Go enjoy it.
Hey, Manny.
♪
JAKE:
A snowbank can hide the heat,
so look for anything
that shouldn't be here.
AUDREY: I got nothing.
All right. Check beyond the tree line.
Skiers might've been thrown
further than you think.
Pretty bad fight back there, huh?
She's talking about teamwork.
She won't even hear me out.
Thanks for calling her on it.
Yeah, well, now I'm calling you on it.
For what?
For being out of line
just as much as she was.
(SCOFFS)
Bode, she's right.
At 42, and on this mountain,
Sharon is our division chief.
You're a probie.
So whatever family baggage
you got, check that.
Yeah, it's kind of hard when 42
feels like it's my living room.
Ever think it might not be
the station we idolized as kids?
AUDREY: I got heat!
- Somebody's out here.
- Lead the way.
Here you are.
(GENTLE CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(QUIET CHATTER)
Excuse me.
Um, trying to get this to my dad,
Walter Leone.
- Uh, he just needed more of his stuff.
- Oh. Sure.
Let me grab a tag for it.
Uh, I can just leave it here.
NOAH: I can get
your dad for you.
Let you make
that special delivery yourself.
I bet he'd appreciate
that personal touch.
I bet you don't know my dad.
Oh, that's a bet you'd lose today.
I been working with Mr. Walter
the last couple of weeks.
He's my favorite guy around here.
You just can't tell the others.
(CHUCKLES)
You telling me my dad made a friend?
Oh, sure did. My name's Noah.
Let me grab him for you.
I'll bring him to you.
He's right down the hall.
Well, uh
No. May maybe next time, okay?
And if there's not a next time?
(LAUGHS): Too bleak, too bleak.
What about a quick hi?
(SIGHS)
How's his mood today?
Oh, there we go.
JAKE: This is Cal
Fire! Can you hear us?!
WOMAN: Help! Help! Over here!
Please! Please!
Hey. Hold on. This is Cal Fire.
We're coming to you.
WOMAN: Help! Over here!
Hey. (PANTING)
Hi. Hey.
I'm Captain Crawford.
Can you tell me your name?
(GROANS) It's Blair.
My leg.
It hurts.
Right leg. Possible broken femur.
Yeah. Yeah, there can be
internal bleeding,
but we don't want her to know.
All right, Blair.
How about we get you out
of this chair and into triage?
Wait, no. What about my dad?
Your dad was out here with you?
Yeah. (WHIMPERS)
Shasta I.C., Engine 1568.
I need a rescue sled with a
splint on the eastern ridge.
- DISPATCH: Copy.
- Bode, we need a blanket.
Audrey, Sawzall.
Look, we're gonna get you
out of here, okay?
Just hang in there. You're doing great.
Cap.
Blair, was this
Uh, is this your dad's jacket?
Yeah, he took it off when he woke up.
I asked him to stay. I asked him not to.
I don't He just walked off.
I don't know why. He seemed confused.
- Okay.
- His name's Danny.
Hey, first we rescue you, next your dad.
(GROANS)
Hey, Walter, look who it is.
Oh, it's good to see you, son.
- So good to see you.
- VINCE: Yeah.
Yeah, you, too.
Here, sit down.
Told you he'd be happy to see you.
(CHUCKLES):
I was just thinking about you.
I'm so sorry I haven't come by. I
Oh, don't worry about it.
I'm just happy you're back.
So, come on, what's the good news?
Did you find yourself
a nice Japanese wife over there, Luke?
Um
Dad, I'm Vince.
The other one.
Come on, stop messing around.
Did you get married?
Luke's in Japan, Dad. I'm Vince.
(GRUNTS)
(BREATH TREMBLING)
What do you want?
- Everything good over here, boys?
- No, it's not good.
- VINCE: Yeah.
- No, who is this?
We're we're good.
Um, I got to go.
Who is that?
JAKE: 1568, sending
patient down with ski patrol.
All right, if Danny wasn't making sense
after losing consciousness,
we could be looking at a concussion.
Which means we have to find him,
and he could be anywhere.
Those have to be Danny's tracks
Right there.
Is that blood?
Pick up the pace, probies.
Danny, this is Cal Fire!
Can you hear us?!
(DOOR OPENS)
(QUIET CHATTER)
Hey. Thank you for meeting with me.
(SIGHS) How can I help?
I'm not gonna break my NDA.
Looks like Oxalta is holding up
their end of the bargain,
so think I'm gonna do the same.
Okay.
"Okay"? (CHUCKLES)
What, you're not even
gonna try to hard sell me?
(LAUGHS) Uh, you took a sizable payout
on a deal that your friend brokered.
So I'm not gonna waste my time
trying to talk you out of it.
We're good, then.
I'm good. I'm not sure about you.
Oh, I'm great.
I got my freedom and my daughter.
Hell, I even survived
being bug-sprayed
to almost death by Oxalta.
And yet you wanted to meet with me.
When a simple "no" via text
would've done the job.
You could've even ghosted me.
Maybe it was just an excuse
to see you again.
(CHUCKLES WRYLY)
Yeah, well, as much
as I'd like to believe
that the Pilates and skin care
routine are working, that ain't it.
You want to enlighten me?
Well, uh, you're a firefighter.
A hero.
That's where you're comfortable.
Taking a payout from
a soulless corporation
in exchange for your silence?
After they targeted inmates
and killed your buddy?
That's not too comfy.
But you made a decision and
you were gonna stick with it.
Until I came along with a choice.
How's that?
You enlightened?
I thought you didn't harbor
illusions about flipping NDAs?
(CHUCKLES) And I thought
you were turning me down.
(CLEARS THROAT)
AUDREY: Danny?
Danny!
- AUDREY: Oh.
- Danny.
Danny.
- Hey, can you hear me?
- JAKE: Check his vitals.
Why'd he take his clothes off?
It's paradoxical undressing.
Symptom of hypothermia.
His body's temperature
regulation is shot.
His head injury might've
escalated the symptoms.
BODE: So the cold
registers as heat,
and then the patient
just starts shedding layers?
Yeah.
AUDREY: All right.
Can't get a radial pulse.
No carotid either.
All right, B, start CPR.
Shasta I.C., Engine 1568.
Patient with hypothermia-induced
cardiac arrest.
We need backup fast.
DISPATCH: Copy, 1568.
(ENGINE IDLING)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Think you left that behind, brother.
Thank you.
Of course, man.
You know, they forget, but we never do.
What happened with
you and your dad in there,
I've seen that play out a time or two.
No pressure, but I'm on lunch
if you want to talk about it.
Just say yes, man.
It's freezing out here.
Yeah.
Come on in.
(SIGHS)
- JAKE: Come on.
- Still no pulse.
We'll get one.
But how are we gonna
get him off the mountain?
We're a long ways from the bottom.
AUDREY: Come on.
Just hang in there.
We got you. (ENGINE REVVING)
That's how.
JAKE: He was in cardiac
arrest when we arrived.
Attempted CPR for 10 minutes.
Unknown how long he was down before.
Hey, Bode, switch out. Switching.
AUDREY: Body
temp was 86 degrees.
Bode, get in my bag.
We need heated saline
to warm his insides.
Saline bag's already cooling off.
Dumb pitch: What about the snowmobile?
We could use the engine
to warm the saline.
- Not a dumb pitch. Do it now.
- Okay.
GABRIELA: His body
temperature's too low.
His veins are constricted.
- We need to dilate.
- BODE: Heat packs.
Here it is.
Still no pulse.
Okay.
Okay.
BODE: Come on, Danny.
Your daughter's waiting for you.
All right, come on.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
(PANTING)
I got a pulse.
That was the warmest greeting
I ever got from my dad.
'Cause he thought I was my brother.
I did not want to come here today.
'Cause I thought he was
gonna pick a fight.
But this is worse.
(SIGHS)
I get it.
I really do. I, um
I lost, I lost
my own mother to dementia.
Sorry.
I'm still ashamed to admit it,
but I was kind of grateful
she forgot who I was.
The last time I got to see my mama
was from behind prison glass.
When she didn't recognize me, I figured
at least she didn't have
to deal with the heartbreak
of seeing her boy locked up.
But I made a vow right then
I was gonna be
that good boy that she raised
and remembered.
Well, we got something else in common.
I know that that view.
Through prison glass.
Really? You did some time?
Nah. Uh, not me, my son.
He's out now.
He's, uh, making a positive
impact on people, just like you.
Actually, I think we got
a third thing in common.
Fresh ingredients, baby. (LAUGHS)
I love a fine-grated parmesan.
See? You get it. You get it.
I tried to tell my dad that.
He does not care.
No kidding?
He was just talking last week
about your family's famous Sunday sauce.
He won't stop complaining.
He's been itching
for a home-cooked meal.
(CHUCKLES)
My family's famous Sunday sauce.
That's funny.
That was my mom's recipe. It's now mine.
My dad never lifted
a spoon in the kitchen.
Hey, come on.
A nostalgic activity with his son?
Great for memory stimulation.
One thing I've learned in here
is that memories are complicated.
But your boy and I got a second chance.
Why not your dad?
♪
SHARON: New patient, over
here underneath the space heaters,
and we need more blankets!
Hey, Sharon?
Hey, photographer.
Uh, there-there's fire, I think.
- What?
- I was shooting the mountain,
and I saw smoke. Look.
Jake, we're seeing smoke
at the top of the ridge.
Can you confirm?
Confirmed.
Smoke on mountain's northeast side.
Get out of there.
I will call Greencrest
and get a water drop.
Chief, there's no time for that.
It's fire and ice up here.
If the snow melts,
it could cause an avalanche
that takes anyone still on the mountain.
This place must have snow cannons.
We could use them to spray the fire.
- I'm not looking for opinions.
- Chief, that's the right plan.
No, the right plan was given
to you by your DC.
Follow my orders.
Discussion over.
Gabs.
Prep for a solo evac.
We're going with Bode's plan up here.
Chief was pretty clear.
Hey, Jake, don't do this for me.
No, no, I'm not.
I'm trying to avoid an avalanche
that could cause more destruction.
Chief didn't ask for opinions,
so we're not gonna ask for permission.
Let's move. (ENGINE STARTS)
Gabs, get him out of here.
(ENGINE REVVING)
These companies only think
in terms of dollars.
All right, so, option one,
they could do everything up to code
and dispose of their waste properly.
Except it costs a pretty penny.
Okay, what's option two?
Risk dumping it in some river
and hope for the best.
If someone gets sick,
just pay them off and shut them up.
It's cheaper.
We're just a math equation to them.
Where profit wins over
morals every time.
And now that they've been caught,
they have to dispose
of the rest of the poison.
And more people will get sick.
What I do know is they won't stop.
I've tracked them across three states.
And you think that you can put
Edgewater in the spotlight?
Do you remember
the Gulf trench oil spill?
Or the Garnett voter fraud?
Of course I do,
but those were massive cases.
Yeah, massive because
of the publicized lawsuits.
I mean, that amount of settlement money?
That's an admission of guilt.
And I made them happen.
GABRIELA: I've got that patient
with hypothermia
which caused cardiac arrest.
He's currently stable.
Excellent. Park him over here.
We're gonna get him on the
next rig to Edgewater Memorial.
Great work, Perez.
Where the hell is the rest of your crew?
(GROANS HEAVILY)
JAKE: When the cable snapped,
the pulley must've yanked it
like a whip.
Tore open the backup generator
- and ignited the fuel.
- Yeah.
There. Snow cannons.
JAKE: Good.
- Aim the cannons at the base of the fire.
- Yeah.
(AUDREY GRUNTS)
Cap?
There's no water.
JAKE: James, the valve.
(GRUNTING)
(ICE CRACKLING)
It's stuck. It's frozen over.
BODE: Let me back you up.
(GRUNTS)
What's the matter, soldier?
Is this frozen for you, too?
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Still won't budge.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Here. Needs more leverage.
(WATER FLOWING)
- Let there be water.
- Nice one, Cap.
All right, James, take the lift.
Bode, you work that cannon.
I got the one on the other side.
Yeah.

(QUIET CHATTER)
One is "truffle."
T
R, U
You got this, brother.
(CLEARS THROAT)
What do you want?
Well, I heard you got
some gripes with the menu here.
(SCOFFS)
Grub in this joint stinks.
Too bland. Not enough salt.
I came to fix that.
What do you got there?
Oh.

You got the makings for a Sunday sauce.
Thought maybe we could make it together.

(GROANS): Ah!
This is no good.
This is sweet sausage.
You need spicy sausage.
Eh.
It's all right. We can salvage it.

I offer you this lesson for it.
For breaking protocol and
dragging two probies with you
you are suspended for

About Bode's plan.
Watch yourself, Crawford.
Did you say no because it was a bad plan

Hmm.

Oh, no.

Yeah, and I meant it when I said
that I wanted something casual.

But, uh, before we do,
I've got to warn you both.
Shutting down Oxalta,
it's not gonna be easy.
I mean, they're
a publicly-traded company,

they start acting like a mob family.
So, nothing is off-limits.

Oxalta, stays inside that circle.
It's our secret.

I wish I had a buffer tomorrow.
I got to go see Dad.
For the first time.

"for the first time"?
You went over there the other day
to take his blood pressure 'cause
you didn't want to spend $12.
Well, it turns out
the 12 bucks was worth it.
I never went inside.
Never got out of my truck,
never left the parking lot.

Okay, working for Oxalta
would actually kill my soul.
All right? I'm looking to

to get justice for the people
who were poisoned.
I've been tracking Oxalta
from Louisville to Edgewater,
just trying to get
their victims to speak out.
I see.
I think you mean trying to get
us to break our NDAs, right?
"Our NDAs"?
How are you involved?
I drank some bad water.
Hmm.
Well, I don't harbor
any illusions in flipping NDAs.

Your daughter's waiting for you.
All right, come on.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
(PANTING)
I got a pulse.
That was the warmest greeting
I ever got from my dad.
'Cause he thought I was my brother.
I did not want to come here today.
'Cause I thought he was
gonna pick a fight.
But this is worse.
(SIGHS)
I get it.
I really do. I, um
I lost, I lost
my own mother to dementia.
Sorry.
I'm still ashamed to admit it,
but I was kind of grateful
she forgot who I was.
The last time I got to see my mama
was from behind prison glass.
When she didn't recognize me, I figured
at least she didn't have
to deal with the heartbreak
of seeing her boy locked up.
But I made a vow right then
I was gonna be
that good boy that she raised
and remembered.
Well, we got something else in common.
I know that that view.
Through prison glass.
Really? You did some time?
Nah. Uh, not me, my son.
He's out now.
He's, uh, making a positive
impact on people, just like you.
Actually, I think we got
a third thing in common.
Fresh ingredients, baby. (LAUGHS)
I love a fine-grated parmesan.
See? You get it. You get it.
I tried to tell my dad that.
He does not care.
No kidding?
He was just talking last week
about your family's famous Sunday sauce.
He won't stop complaining.
He's been itching
for a home-cooked meal.
(CHUCKLES)
My family's famous Sunday sauce.
That's funny.
That was my mom's recipe. It's now mine.
My dad never lifted
a spoon in the kitchen.
Hey, come on.
A nostalgic activity with his son?
Great for memory stimulation.
One thing I've learned in here
is that memories are complicated.
But your boy and I got a second chance.
Why not your dad?

SHARON: New patient, over
here underneath the space heaters,
and we need more blankets!
Hey, Sharon?
Hey, photographer.
Uh, there-there's fire, I think.
- What?
- I was shooting the mountain,
and I saw smoke. Look.
Jake, we're seeing smoke
at the top of the ridge.
Can you confirm?
Confirmed.
Smoke on mountain's northeast side.
Get out of there.
I will call Greencrest
and get a water drop.
Chief, there's no time for that.
It's fire and ice up here.
If the snow melts,
it could cause an avalanche
that takes anyone still on the mountain.
This place must have snow cannons.
We could use them to spray the fire.
- I'm not looking for opinions.
- Chief, that's the right plan.
No, the right plan was given
to you by your DC.
Follow my orders.
Discussion over.
Gabs.
Prep for a solo evac.
We're going with Bode's plan up here.
Chief was pretty clear.
Hey, Jake, don't do this for me.
No, no, I'm not.
I'm trying to avoid an avalanche
that could cause more destruction.
Chief didn't ask for opinions,
so we're not gonna ask for permission.
Let's move. (ENGINE STARTS)
Gabs, get him out of here.
(ENGINE REVVING)
These companies only think
in terms of dollars.
All right, so, option one,
they could do everything up to code
and dispose of their waste properly.
Except it costs a pretty penny.
Okay, what's option two?
Risk dumping it in some river
and hope for the best.
If someone gets sick,
just pay them off and shut them up.
It's cheaper.
We're just a math equation to them.
Where profit wins over
morals every time.
And now that they've been caught,
they have to dispose
of the rest of the poison.
And more people will get sick.
What I do know is they won't stop.
I've tracked them across three states.
And you think that you can put
Edgewater in the spotlight?
Do you remember
the Gulf trench oil spill?
Or the Garnett voter fraud?
Of course I do,
but those were massive cases.
Yeah, massive because
of the publicized lawsuits.
I mean, that amount of settlement money?
That's an admission of guilt.
And I made them happen.
GABRIELA: I've got that patient
with hypothermia
which caused cardiac arrest.
He's currently stable.
Excellent. Park him over here.
We're gonna get him on the
next rig to Edgewater Memorial.
Great work, Perez.
Where the hell is the rest of your crew?

JAKE: When the cable snapped,
the pulley must've yanked it
like a whip.

There. Snow cannons.

- Yeah.

It's stuck. It's frozen over.

What's the matter, soldier?
Is this frozen for you, too?

Still won't budge.

It was a guess.
And it's a guess
that could've cost lives.

I'm also aware now that
I have coddled you to the point

a boundary is a suggestion.
And I apologize for that.
I offer you this lesson for it.
For breaking protocol and
dragging two probies with you
you are suspended for
one week, effective immediately.
About Bode's plan.
Watch yourself, Crawford.
Did you say no because it was a bad plan
or because Bode suggested it?
Hmm.
Not every day you get to stop
an avalanche with a snow cannon.

Well, you know,
hopefully Finn got a good pic.
Listen, um, about what
I said this morning, um
I shouldn't have.

Oh, no.

No, th-the kiss itself was-was great.
It's just, he
said this thing about,
"When's the wedding?"
And my stomach dropped, Audrey.
Oh, no.
That's a ick. That's a real big ick.
Yeah, and I meant it when I said
that I wanted something casual.
And he's not on the same page.
Yeah, maybe ask you to dinner first
before asking for your hand in marriage.
Ugh, this is such a bummer.
The kiss was so good.
Uh, can we get two more shots, please?
