Previously on fire country... I got another job offer
in butte.
Jake, there's no promotion at 42 right now.
Not sure when there's gonna be.
I guess this is my two weeks' notice.
We got to figure out how to get you back into
a Cal fire uniform. That's gonna be tough.
My track record's gonna raise a few flags.
Finn texted me five times.
Finn has revealed himself as obsessive.
Finn? Hi.
I owe you an apology.
Let's focus on getting you well.
Cap, look. Hey, chief?
Finn's been stalking her.
You need to get her out of that ambulance
and away from him now.
Whatever he's about to tell you,
it's a lie. Did you start that fire
to bring me to you?
Isn't that romantic?
Chief! He's dangerous.
And now he's on the loose.
We're right on time.
Thanks to me not taking you up
on your tempting offer this morning.
Well, my offer still stands.
I was gonna run some errands after this,
but I could be convinced to do other things.
Tonight.
Tonight, I promise.
- I got to go see non no - after this. - Okay.
His meds have slowed the dementia a bit,
but I just, I want to see him while he's still good.
Say hi to him for me.
And tell him he owes me four dollars for poker night.
You know that you're never seeing that money.
There something, something you need to share?
Y-You're funny. This is my nephew Amir.
Amir, say hi.
This Elijah's new little guy?
Yeah.
We're babysitting for the morning.
So, you're actually, you're-you're plus-two,
not a plus-one.
You're funny, bode. Just making sure.
You count as a whole person.
You're so whole.
Here-here, I'll give it to you.
There you go. You're so good with him.
Well, I mean, he's just a bundle of joy.
I just love you.
Auntie Eve loves you so much.
Do you remember in high school, when we had to carry those bags
of flour around and pretend that they were babies?
Yeah, I dropped mine in algebra.
- You did. - It was pretty bad.
Just... Yeah.
I remember saying I wanted a real one someday. I
I think I still do.
Do you?
I think... I told them that I would help set up,
but can we talk about this later?
Yeah.
Okay, bye. Bye, bubs.
Good luck finding a captain who's up to
that man's standards.
Board sent 20 applicants to fill Jake's spot. Guess what?
None of them are Jake, so they all suck?
They all do suck.
You're gonna have to give somebody a chance.
Well, as soon as they send me somebody who's got
any hint of experience or ability,
I definitely will.
It's time.
Let's see.
Yeah, can I help you?
Just checking out the goods.
Your locker, dummy.
I'm gonna take it when you're gone next week.
You know, my body is still warm.
I'll see you in there.
Hey. Dad, you made it.
I made it.
Yeah, right now, all I have is time.
- How you doing? - Yeah.
Any sign of Finn?
No, and there's not gonna be.
Police say that he emptied out his accounts
and abandoned his car in Santa Cruz.
So, he's on the run.
As long as he's on the run from edge water and me,
I'm good.
Welcome to breakfast, fam-bam.
No. No.
No, Sharon. "Fam-bam"?
"Fam-bam."
When's the last time you actually
heard "fam-bam"? Mom.
Come on, in the club, we're all fam, right?
Yes.
That's low-key embarrassing.
What's up, fam-bam?
Come on.
You try to throw a nice breakfast
and you get mocked.
I'm not mocking you. I'm actually grateful.
No, Jake, we are grateful for you.
Yeah, it is...
Not gonna be easy trying to find a replacement for you.
Speak for yourself,
'cause I'm gonna be upgrading to a nice, new, big bedroom.
Hell yeah. No.
I've been redecorating in my mind.
What-what are you redecorating? Really?
That's weird, 'cause we're not on the...
Our minds aren't... they're not in sync right now.
They're not. All right, hey.
I'm only gonna be a few hours away.
And who knows, I mean, the way these fires are,
we might be fighting a fire together
in mendocino.
Bite your tongue.
No, but seriously...
Guys, I am grateful to have this last week with you.
And yeah, all right. That's enough of the spotlight.
I'm... I don't like the attention.
Come on, cap. You like the spotlight.
Okay, you know what? All right, relax, all of y'all.
No, but seriously, no. Somebody else go.
Manny, like, what... what have you been up to?
I am grateful
I'm grateful that Finn cleared out.
Yeah, that weirdo. Okay.
Obviously, same, but...
Dad, you have other news to share.
Right?
All right... I turned in my Cal fire application.
Hey!
Hold on, it's probably not gonna happen.
You know, 'cause of my record, it's a long shot, but...
It's actually a real long shot.
Hey, you know, you beat the odds before.
And speaking of beating the odds,
now that oxalta's out of the picture,
three rock is back, baby.
That's right. Hey.
Well, please tell them
to rest up, and everybody here, too,
'cause there's a new fire on zabel Ridge,
and they don't need us yet, but if things get bad,
42's next up on deck.
So... Here's to, hoping
they can keep that thing contained
and maybe a nice quiet week here in edge water.
Love it. Cheers.
In edge water? A quiet week? Cheers, y'all.
Hey, are you, are you good?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Really. Finn's gone.
I'm serious.
Finn, Finn comes after you or anybody, I got you.
Bode, you're on parole.
You can't put yourself in danger for me,
and especially when we're not together anymore.
It's not about being together.
We're family. Family's forever.
I'm not calling you "brother."
"Bro"?
No.
No, bro.
Jake, hold up. No.
Don't tell me I have to do the dishes
from my own farewell breakfast.
No.
But the whole reason I wanted to have a meal
in the first place was I thought we were gonna say more.
I don't need speeches.
I am really gonna miss you.
So much.
Hey.
Me, too.
And he would never say it, but
Vince is a mess about you leaving.
Are you kidding me?
Yes!
I feel like I should get some credit.
I'm the one who taught you how to play.
No, no, no, no, no, sir.
I was five. That doesn't count.
Boom. Good game.
It was so good to see you.
You, too. I love you, okay?
- Love you. Bye, dad. - Be safe.
- Vince, you got all that? - Yep.
Gabriela first, then I'll call the sheriff.
Hey. Stay safe.
That was your dad on the phone...
He just caught Finn sneaking around outside the station.
What? I-I thought he left town.
Yeah.
We all did.
And we're getting the authorities on it,
but meantime, we need to get you out of here.
Okay.
I-I'll go home. No.
My home.
This guy knows where you live, knows where you work.
We need to get you someplace that he doesn't know,
and that's the Leone home.
Till this guy's in cuffs, just lay low.
You miss me already?
How close are you to Walter's?
I was just coming up on three corners. Why?
Quick, take skyline.
I caught Finn spying at the station. I followed him.
Manny, you got, you got to call the cops.
Your dad's already doing that, man.
Besides, they can't do anything
unless they know where the hell he's at.
I lost him at the fork.
Took freshwater.
I guess I'm taking skyline.
He's in a blue four-door
with a dented Nevada license plate.
Piece of crap.
He was right outside of 42, man.
Look, we're not gonna let him get to Gabriela.
All right? Not gonna let it happen.
Yeah.
Wait, hold on... hold on one second. Hold on.
Pretty sure that I got him here.
At the gas station, like, two miles south of the fork.
All right, I'm turning around.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Manny, it's him, it's him.
You keep an eye on him.
I'll call the sheriff's office
and let them know everything.
Damn it.
Whoa. Hey!
Hey. You okay?
Yeah. That car came out of nowhere.
I'm with Cal fire. Got to get you away from those flames.
What hurts? Everything.
It-it seems like... Yeah, I can, I think I
I can walk. You all right?
I can walk. Okay. Come on.
Where's the emergency gas shut-off?
It's on the first post there.
Okay. Hey, take a seat. Sit down right there.
You got your phone on you? My phone, yeah.
- Yeah, I need you to call 911. - Okay.
Okay? Report the fire and tell them that the guy
who started it is headed south on skyline.
South on skyline. Okay. Yeah.
- Hey, I'm gonna borrow - your gloves. - Okay.
This can's out.
Yeah, it's called heritage pump. Hurry.
You got anything else that can put out a fire?
Boss put in a
a fire-suppressant system last summer.
Where's the switch?
In there.
But I'm the only one working today.
There's a gal that lives down the hall here.
Real looker.
Name's Celia.
Easy to remember 'cause she's got celiac disease.
Well, I bought her
a gluten-free muffin, so I think maybe
I might be in.
Isn't that right, Otto?
Otto.
Sorry.
Once your father starts in,
I turn off my hearing aids.
Lucky you. Turn them off?
You're not even wearing them.
You better go back to your room and put them in.
You don't want to get tossed out of here.
You know how the staff
doesn't like it when we have to yell!
And stay out of my bed.
Guy falls asleep wherever he wants. No boundaries.
Celia? She's a class act.
Wally doesn't stand a chance in hell with her.
You have any news?
Yeah.
Gabriela's safe at our place
and, deputies are still out looking for Finn.
So, what's going on?
What's happening at my old home?
42.
That's right. What's going on?
Well, you know Jake is leaving.
And so, I've been trying to find a replacement for him,
but there is just nobody
who can even clean his shoes, let alone fill them.
I don't understand why you're looking
for anybody to begin with.
My grandson is right there.
Bode's a probie.
Come on, Sharon.
That isn't an edge water firehouse you're working at.
This is a Leone house.
Vince, come on.
You can whip him into shape in no time.
Do the same thing I did with you.
I think we've pulled enough strings for bode now.
Is that zabel Ridge?
No, it's a gas station fire up on skyline.
We got to go to 42. Okay.
Go kick some ass. Okay.
Hey, guys, how's my hair looking?
I think I might, swing by and see Celia.
You look great, Walter.
Go get 'em, tiger.
All righty.
You gonna look at me like that
the whole time we picking up trash?
Well, I'm just trying to figure out
how to share the news with the class.
Cole has some bad news, y'all.
Really? Are we doing this?
He's not gonna be first saw anymore.
Yeah.
I'm not gonna be anything anymore 'cause.
I paroled.
He's getting out tomorrow, baby.
Yeah, it's real. It's real.
I still can't believe it.
No, I can, man. You deserve it.
Thanks, cap.
Three rock crew four,
green crest. Requesting hand crew
for a fire at heritage pump, 321 skyline.
Yeah. Hey. That's, like, a mile up the road.
Three rock crew four copies traffic.
Show us en route.
We're about two minutes from the scene.
All right, Cole, what do you say?
One last fire?
Let's do it. Let's go.
My god. Audrey, what the hell?
DC Leone gave me a key
in case you were in the shower or something.
What, do you think I'm having a spa day over here?
I could've shot you.
You're telling me.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm just a little jumpy.
And I don't need a babysitter, I promise.
I know you want some of that zabel Ridge action.
I'm not going anywhere.
When DC Leone gives me an order, I follow it.
Plus... I brought snacks.
Oof.
Fire at gas station. North of edge water.
Sharon was very clear.
You and I are staying put until that creep is in cuffs.
I'm backing you up, bode.
I'm guessing Finn got away?
It's a good guess.
But police are on it.
42's on their way.
Arlo over there called 911.
Trucks will never make it past that wreckage.
They'd have to run out some lines.
Look, Manny, Manny,
if you want to, if you want to get back to Gabriela...
We'll get this under control, then I'll go.
Damn it, I'm out.
She's safe. She's at your folks' house.
Inez? Inez!
Inez!
Hey, hey, hey! Back up, back up, back up, back up!
This way, this way.
What's going on? Were you here with somebody?
Yeah, my best friend Inez.
S-She's 18 today,
and we stopped on the way to her party.
I went to the bathroom around back.
Is she in the car?
Wait, no, no. Hey, wai... easy.
Just get back, get back. Easy. Hey, hey.
Just take a deep breath.
I'm Manny, okay?
Yeah. I'm Olivia.
Inez went to get us takis and red vines...
In there.
All right, hey, if-if your friend is inside there,
then she can trigger the fire-suppression system.
She can put out the fire. Can you call her?
Yeah. Okay.
My god.
She doesn't have her phone.
It's still in the car. Hey!
Hey, do you guys have a landline inside?
No.
We're gonna have to get her out ourselves.
Safety glass.
Bode!
Manny, we're here.
Come on, Manny, let's go, go.
I'm coming, coming. Come on. Let's go!
We got to keep the fire off those trees.
Yeah, no, three rock's on it.
With zabel Ridge burning, the last thing we need
is a new wildfire.
This girl's friend
is trapped inside. She's our priority.
Okay, Cole can be an extra set of hands.
Yeah. All right, we'll check rear access.
Cool. Okay. Cole?
Go around back.
All right. Hey, do you guys have, like, a-a hose,
a blanket or anything at all?
Okay, I'm gonna look around. You stay with them.
There's no hose, there's no water?
My friend could die in there.
Look, we got more help coming, all right?
They'll be here... they'll be here really soon.
Why don't you come over here?
Tell me about your friend.
I mean, she's... She's the best.
A bunch of us are throwing a party for her
because she always plans everyone else's birthday.
And she-she started when we were really little.
Like, that was us when we were in kindergarten.
- Aw, that's so cute. - Yeah.
And that was us, like, an hour ago.
You know what? She kind of...
Looks a little bit like my own daughter.
You know, she's not so little anymore, either.
Hey, guys! We got to hurry up
and move this fuel away from the fire.
Come on. Move!
Perez!
We got propane cylinders here.
Greencrest, three rock crew four...
Aren't those explosive?
Copy.
42 is six minutes out.
So, there is no water supply at the site,
but three rock's there and, somehow,
so are Manny and bode.
Well, bode always finds himself
in the hottest part of the fire.
Yeah, funny how that happens?
Hey, chief...
Look, what you said earlier, that
it'll be hard to replace me?
Well, I don't believe that.
Jake, come on.
There is no finer captain than you.
You know that, all right? That's the truth.
Well, I won't argue that.
But seriously.
Look, whoever you put in there, you'll train them.
You'll get them there.
Yeah. Walter kind of said the same thing.
In a more, you know, Walter-y kind of way.
You want some coffee?
Another reason to be jittery?
Pass. Thanks.
All right, well, do you want some... Tequila?
Some ice cream?
Where do the leones keep the vices in this place?
You pick. I don't really trust my judgment right now.
Come on, don't do that to yourself.
Finn manipulated you. That's what guys like him do.
Later, you look back and you see all the red flags.
All the attention so soon,
the "we're so connected,"
the love bombing with gifts.
Yeah. Seems so obvious now.
I had a guy in my past.
Thought he was so sweet for buying me a fit bit.
Turns out, that's what he was using to track me.
What?
Finn gave me a phone.
Shoot.
He turned location sharing on.
He's been tracking me this whole time.
He knows you're here.
We got to go.
What was that?
Someone's out front.
Hey, stay low.
Don't make a sound.
Hey, Manny.
Let me get a pulaski.
On it, cap.
Those cylinders are heavy. Let me help.
No, no, no. I need you to stay here, but if I need you,
I'm-a holler, all right?
Keep going, gentlemen!
Hey. No dice.
Eve. Fires on your left.
- What? - Eve, watch out, watch out.
If the fire gets to that cage thing,
is it gonna blow up the building?
With Inez?
Hey, where's the key to that lock?
Inside.
In the building, of course.
That's a ticking time bomb waiting to explode
with my best friend trapped next to it.
Please, can you do something?
Can I see your purse?
I have a plan. Please.
You stay put.
Some of these valves are starting to activate.
That means they're hot enough to blow.
The hell is he doing?
Hey. Grab those chains and hitch up to the front.
See that? Okay, guys, let's move.
You guys, let's move back.
Get on the tree line. Go ahead. Here.
Here it comes! Move back.
You good?
It's all locked. All right.
All right, let's go. Give some tension.
Slowly back.
More, more, more, more.
You're there, you're there.
All right, you're tight. Good to go, man, good to go.
Watch yourself!
Fire's spreading.
Manny! Manny! Manny, get out!
Get out! Manny!
Fire's on the tanks now!
Manny! Manny!
Move. Move, move. All right, get back.
Get back. Get back, get back! Get out, Manny!
Go, go, go, go!
Get down.
Nobody's outside.
Must have been a neighbor in their driveway or something.
Okay.
So we're safe for now.
Of course you're safe.
I've been saying that all along.
Finn, why are you here? To talk. That's all.
How did you get in here?
I climbed in an upstairs window,
like I tried to do for estelle.
A real gentleman.
Can we talk, please, Gabriela?
Alone?
Anything you need to say to me you can say with Audrey here.
No, she'll just be in the way.
You and I were getting along so well in the ambulance,
until we were interrupted.
Other people are the problem.
It's perfect when it's just you and me.
I'm not leaving her.
Shut up!
You know we have a connection.
You know that.
You're safe with me.
If she's so safe with you, then why did you bring a taser?
Greencrest, this is DC Leone at 42.
I heard the dispatch for the outgoing strike team.
Where are we on zabel Ridge?
Zabel Ridge is at zero percent containment
with stations 57 and 96 inbound.
No need for 42 yet.
Copy.
When my crews are released,
I'll tell them to rest up in case we're needed.
God forbid these two fires meet in the middle.
Manny! Manny, hey.
Manny, you all right? You good?
Yeah. The girls... Is everyone okay?
Inez is still trapped inside,
but she didn't get hit thanks to you.
Come on, let's get out of here, Manny.
Let's go. Come on. 42's here.
We're gonna get you checked out just to be safe.
I'm gonna give them the sitrep.
Hey, Cole?
Loop in bode, okay?
Yeah. All right, let's go.
What's up? So, if you want a home-cooked meal,
you got to get on the road to me and my family's house.
Starting tomorrow, that's where I'll be.
You paroled?
I paroled.
Come on. We still got fires to put out.
Hey, guys, I got gas-fueled flames
across to Alpha that are burning down to delta.
Got a victim that's trapped inside,
condition unclear.
We got Ember spread to Charlie.
And I got electrical hazards that are encroaching
on the tree line.
We got to stop this thing from extending into the vegetation.
Can't have it colliding with the zabel Ridge fire.
Jake? On it.
Hey, let me get a line over to those trees
and another one on that roof.
Let's go. Copy, cap.
All right. Supply line to the roof.
The hell happened here?
Finn happened.
I wasn't sure why Gabriela was here
or if someone was keeping her here,
so I needed to make sure that I could protect her
and defend myself.
Now what?
I don't know. Let me think for a minute.
Hey, Finn.
You say you want to talk,
but you brought a weapon.
Help me understand.
It's-it's not for you.
I would never hurt you. Never.
You think the cops are gonna believe that?
You stalked her.
You burned your own house down.
You fled authorities.
I've missed you.
The fact that I haven't been able
to explain my intentions, it's killing me.
I'm right here. I'm listening.
Prison's a tough place.
Especially for a guy who's endangered a woman.
I'm not endangering her.
Hey.
Hey, I-I want to believe you.
Finn, I don't like you,
but what I don't like even more is being locked up.
I've been there. It's rough.
So if you want to hit the road now,
maybe you can get out of town
before anybody even catches up to you.
My dad was in prison, too.
I wouldn't want you to go there.
I-I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
I-I care about you, Finn.
You do?
See? I knew it.
Yeah, I've-I've just never been with someone like you,
and this is new to me.
And new is scary.
You don't even like scary movies. I-I get it.
Yeah, you do.
I didn't want to do that,
but this should just be the two of us.
Here. Put this on.
Not enough gpm.
That girl's gonna cook in there.
Hey, cap, can you give us any more?
It's getting ahead of us.
You've got all that line can handle.
We'll have to pull another.
How's the booster?
At 50%, give or take.
Stand by.
This building's about to be completely surrounded by flames.
There's a window over here on the Alpha bravo corner.
If we can kill the fire layer long enough,
I can climb inside and try and activate the suppression system.
These hoses ain't gonna cut it.
You got another idea?
Yeah, the deck gun.
But if he doesn't hit it just right,
it's gonna waste all our water.
It's a good thing Jake's a crack shot.
Hey, cap, it's time to pull out the big guns.
All right. What's the target?
Alpha bravo corner.
Got to hit it for long enough for bode to get in there.
Prepare the deck gun.
Whenever you're ready.
All right. Charge the deck gun.
It's charged.
Good shot, cap.
Inez, if you can hear me, cover your face
and get away from the glass.
I'm over here.
What's taking so long?
Give him time. It's not as easy as it looks.
Fire's on the line but it's holding, y'all.
Yeah, bode's still inside. Okay.
Need a rescue team right now, cap.
Copy, chief.
Hey, prep a med bag and an oxygen.
You got it, cap.
Yeah, there's that fire-suppression system.
He did it.
Inez?
Is she okay?
Bode, over here.
Easy, easy. Good job.
Good job. You okay?
Can we still get to the party?
After a little trip to the emergency room.
And some oxygen. Jake?
Copy, chief. On it. Hey.
You can ride with her in the ambulance.
Okay.
Hey, happy birthday to you.
Okay?
You be bold, and you have a good life, all right?
Let me check on my own girl.
Nice work, Leone. You good?
We got the girl out, so yeah.
Your knee acting up again?
I just twisted it when I dropped in
in the window there. It's fine.
Well, let's get you checked out, too.
Hey, Cole.
What you looking forward to the most when you get out?
Well, space away from these guys.
I hear that.
No, really, just... just my kids.
Kissing them good night,
making snacks, soccer games.
You know...
Parenting is the hardest thing I have ever done.
Cap, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
I'm happy for you, man.
Appreciate that, cap.
Welcome back.
I heard you did the impossible out there at the gas station.
Once again, the odds were stacked against us.
Once again, this team beat them.
Outstanding work, everybody.
Hit the showers.
I ordered some pizzas, and...
We're gonna get some much-deserved rest.
Hey. You heard from Gabriela?
Manny's on his way over there right now.
And I was about to text her.
Hold on.
Zabel Ridge fire just jumped the freeway.
Okay, there it is.
Sorry, no rest for the weary.
I'm coming with you this time. Yep.
Hey.
Not you. Not with that knee.
I'm fine. Bode, you're hurt.
Okay? You're limping.
Not ready to go back out.
Chief, come... come on. Dad.
Dad, this is an all-hands-on-deck situation.
Sorry, probie.
Ice, rest, elevation.
That's an order.
She has a pulse and she's breathing,
but Finn, she needs a hospital.
Always a paramedic, and I love you for it,
but-but we have more to talk about.
We need to plan.
Plan?
Obviously, we need to leave town.
You know, start over somewhere else.
Do you have a passport?
Yeah, I do.
Of course. It's kind of a requirement
for the Olympics.
Yeah, it's-it's just expired.
Okay, we can fix this.
We can, we can fake one, right?
We can do anything together.
Yeah.
Yeah, we just need to talk it through, together.
Yeah.
You know, I know a guy who...
Hey! What are you doing?
Hey. Everything okay?
Chief Leone here. I'm monitoring the situation.
Nonno, it's-it's me, it's bode.
Old glory just signaled a change in the wind.
That zabel Ridge fire is about to head straight for edge water.
If that's true, then you're right in its path.
Those fire embers will travel for miles.
Everyone's in its path.
Gather the troops, captain, and meet me out there.
Yes... Hey. Hi.
So, Amir
slept and pooped. What? Yes.
And then he ate and then he slept and then he pooped... Yeah.
And then... you're not gonna believe this
he pooped again.
Thanks again for taking over.
No problem. I am famously the Simone biles of babysitting.
Yeah.
So... so...
Yeah, this morning, when you brought up the kids,
I just... Yeah, it threw me off.
Yeah. Yeah.
Came through loud and clear, there, buddy.
I love you.
I love you, too.
And look, I think kids are great.
But right now, my... my focus is on three rock.
And, like, one of my guys is getting out tomorrow,
and...
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, we have time.
You could change your mind.
And I'm not ruling anything out, but, like, right now
I don't think I will.
But it just feels like we have some decisions to make.
Wow.
Yeah, I guess, I guess we do.
So, hypothetically, how soon would you want a baby?
I don't know. Maybe soon enough to have more than one.
Manny, I know you think
getting rehired as a firefighter is a long shot, but I don't.
Vince told me how instrumental you were at that gas station.
Cal fire needs you back.
You were upset I had a taser. You have a gun and it's out,
so you were prepared to use it on me?
No, I was scared, Finn.
I didn't realize your intentions, like you said.
So you assumed you needed to be armed?
I now realize that I did not.
Let's just get Audrey to safety and we can talk.
You lied to me!
And with Jake leaving,
there's an open captain spot at 42,
so I think you should aim higher.
