Previously on Fire Country...

I think Battalion Chief Perez
has a nice ring to it.

SHARON:
You're a terrific leader, Manny,

but you're also
the face of change.

-Rock!
-Hey.
-EVE: That's enough!

Hey, Cap,
what the hell's going on?

-I'm working on it, Chief.
-Never mind, Cap.

I'm just going
to call in Station 96

so they can clean up this mess
your guys made.

Hey! These aren't my guys!

-You're finally
gonna meet Malcolm?
-I don't know.

EVE:
Well, maybe you should
reach out to him.

JAKE:
I messaged Malcolm

to apologize for any trouble
I may have caused.

If you could just get that
to him, at least I can explain.

TYLER:
Bro, my mom's out there.

-Chloe MacKenzie's your mom?
-Yeah.

LANDON:
Do you know how happy
your mom and I would be

-if you'd just go away?
-CHLOE: That can't be Landon.

(groaning)

You don't ever talk to Tyler
like that, you hear me?

-Watch yourself.
-TYLER: I hate him.

You know, he hurt everyone?

He hurts everyone.
He hurt me, our-our house,

all of Edgewater, the fires.

Do you still have a direct line
to Agent Ruffin at the ATF?

-Why?
-I think I know

who set the Zabel Ridge Fire.

(wind whistling)

(indistinct radio transmission)

JAKE:
Morning, boss.

BODE:
We got a red flag warning?

Yeah.
Issued last night for all of

Edgewater and Drake Counties.

It's unseasonably dry.
Lots of unburned fuel out there.

It's the perfect storm
for a massive wildfire.

Exactly. Why do you think
I pre-deployed 96 and 58 here?

We need all the hands
we can get.

And all the info.

Fire reports,

fire hazard severity zones,
fire perimeter maps

and historical weather for all
of Drake and Edgewater Counties.

-BODE: Dating back to 1940?
-Yeah.

Listen, guys,
fire's got a long history here.

She's shown us
how she wants to move.

All we got to do is listen,
right?

So, study up. And Bode?

Get breakfast started.

Bode?

Up early
for the red flag warning?

Yup.

SHARON:
Uh, no.

I'm good. Thank you.

If you're not here
for breakfast, then...

Uh, I spoke to Ruffin.

The ATF is gonna surprise Landon
today at home.

-To question him.
-That's it?

-The... the man killed Dad.
-Hey, hey.

This is off of a tip
from a teenager

who said, "My mom's boyfriend
started the fire." Like, they...

they have to do
their due diligence.

-He's volatile. He's dangerous.
-That's why

we took Chloe and Tyler
to our house, to keep them safe.

(sighs)
Mm, not "we." Hmm?

(clears throat) Manny's got me
and half the battalion

here on pre-deployment.

I just...

I want to be the one
to tell Tyler, face-to-face.

Okay. And you can't do that
while you're here doing OT.

I get that.

But you'll find the time,
I promise.

Yeah.

(indistinct chatter)

All right, guys, listen up.

We're part of a pre-deployment

-with Station 42, 56 and 98.
-(chatter continues)

Which means...

Which means...

that we need to be ready.

So here are
your fire line assignments.

Hartman, you're on saw.

Ace will swamp for you.

HARTMAN:
Hell no.

Do you want to try that again?

Put a little "Captain Edwards"
on the end of that?

Not happening, Captain Edwards.

You know, I gave you first saw,

and now you're complaining
about who's tossing debris.

No, it's about
who watches my back.

-Ace won't.
-EVE: All right.

-Zane'll swamp for you, then.
-On our first fire? Me?

Yes, you will have
a whole team behind you.

That's what we are, gentlemen--
a team.

Not your team.

Not your guys.

That's not what I meant.

It's what you said.

Yes, and I'm sorry that I did.

But, you guys, look at me.

Hey. Hey, that's an order!

Okay, guys, we are gonna need
to put this behind us, okay?

'Cause you're young and green.

And I can work with that.

But when we're out there
on that fire line,

and you don't trust me

or each other,

we're gonna run into
some real dangerous problems.

Okay? So let's let it go.

One. Two.

Three Rock.

Gear in the buggy. Let's move.

(indistinct chatter)

(phone ringing)

Division Chief Leone.

CHLOE:
Hey, um...

It's Chloe.
I hope I'm not bothering,

but this is urgent.

Is everything all right?

Well... (panting)

(sighs)

My boyfriend's been terrorizing
my child right under my nose.

He's a monster,
so, no, everything is not okay.

And I'm an idiot.

No, you're not.
He deceived you.

Just like I'm sure
he deceived a lot of people

about a lot of things.

Well, I'm going over there
to tell him that we're done.

And then I'm going
to pack up a few more things.

And then I'm going
to the school, and I'm gonna

tell them that he should not
be around children anymore.

No, he should not be,
and he won't be.

But it's not a good idea
to go by the house.

-He hurt my child!
-And we don't want him
to do it again.

To him or to you,
so please, trust me.

It is really not safe
for you to see Landon.

Not alone, not today.

Sharon...

I can't handle
any more surprises.

Whatever it is
that you're not telling me,

you need to tell me right now.

The ATF is investigating Landon.

The ATF doesn't investigate
domestic cases.

It's for the Zabel Ridge arson.

Chloe, Landon is
a very dangerous person.

(indistinct chatter)

DISPATCH 1:
Multiple-vehicle collision,
Highway 299.

DISPATCH 2: Patient in distress,
Trinity Park.

DISPATCH 1:
Structure collapse, 1315 Redway.

Farm equipment malfunction,
one patient...

Hey, Manny?

-Hey.
-Okay, look,
two days into this pre-deploy

without any action.

The crews might start
climbing the walls.

Well, they should
save their stamina.

Winds, low humidity.

All the science says we're
on the verge of a big one, Jake.

-And my gut says it, too.
-Okay, Chief.

I'm your guy,
but you got to let me in

on whatever you're hearing.

All right. I'm just keeping
an ear on nearby districts,

in case anybody needs a hand.

DISPATCH: Black Rock campground
south of Drake County line.

-Campfire ignited
a minor brush fire.
-You hear that?

Campfire started a brush fire
on the Drake County line.

Sounds small.

We're gonna make sure
they stay small.

Okay, hey, look,
I'm right behind you.

Yeah? But shouldn't we wait
for dispatch to call?

Why?

We're just taking two engines

for an assessment, right? Huh?

I'm not gonna just sit around

and wait for the big one
to find us, Jake.

We're gonna find it.

All right, 42, listen up.

Mobilize for deployment.
Heading out in five.

TYLER:
Hey. Hey,

-you're a liar. You promised me.
-Hey, hey. Whoa. Whoa.

Ty-Tyler, you got to calm down.
Slow your roll.

-You can't just do that.
-You think
I'm gonna listen to you?

Yeah. You are.
Look, calm-calm down, okay?

You called the ATF?

You-you promised me.
I told you not to do that.

I had to break my promise
to keep you safe.

-Keep all of us safe.
-You don't get it, Bode.

You haven't seen how...
how angry he can get.

You know, when he finds out
about this, he's...

he's gonna try to kill me.

No. No, he's not,
not with me by your side.

-He's not gonna do anything.
-JAKE: B?

Let's go. We're headed out.

Come on.

Hey, what happened
to you being next to me?

I'll be back.

Just stay here
where you're safe.

(engine starting)

(siren wailing)

(sirens wailing)

(horn blowing)

All right, that campfire ignited
on Drake County turf.

But Cal Fire's resource-rich.

Sharing is caring.

BODE: Especially if caring means
keeping fire out of Edgewater.

MANNY:
That's right.

There's nothing small
about this fire.

MANNY:
Called it.

Yeah, I'll have Greencrest

attach us and Three Rock.

Plug and play, baby.

I didn't call
for additional resources.

Chief Springer.

I'm Chief Perez.

Yeah, you see that county line
beyond the power poles?

Fire's on my side of it.

This isn't your dirt.

Yeah, well,
whatever happens on your dirt

could end up coming our way,

and the way that
these winds are picking up...

Well, when they do, we'll
give you a ring. How about that?

So, you're saying no to support?

SPRINGER:
It's Walnut Grove at risk.

My town.

The way you let Zabel Ridge rip?

I'm not doing this

-Edgewater's way.
-BODE: You want to keep

Edgewater's name
out of your mouth.

We're not going anywhere, Chief.

* *

Springer's out of his mind.
Fire doesn't care

who owns the dirt,
especially not that fire.

Yeah. Yeah,
it's at 100 acres already.

And in this weather,
it could eat Walnut Grove

for lunch, circle back,
and take Edgewater for dinner.

Springer needs all the help
he can get.

We all do.

JAKE:
Yeah.

Put me in.

I can help.

Tyler, what the hell?

I hitched a ride in the back
of your chief's truck.

Which means you stowed away.

MANNY (over radio):
Hey, Jake, what's the holdup?

-I need my guy.
-(Jake sighs)

All right, B.

Handle this.

(garbled radio transmission)

BODE: Tyler, get back

-in the truck.
-No. Oh, come on. I...

I-I know you don't want me
out here, but I'm already here.

(scoffs)

Out here is... is...
This is insanely unsafe.

So is town.

Landon was bad before.

What's he gonna do
when he thinks

that I called the ATF and-and
said he started the fire?

It's the first step
to locking him up.

Yeah, but he's not locked up.

You want to help?

Come here.

In the truck.
Right here, in the front.

(garbled radio transmission)

Here.

I need you to listen

to the radio traffic, okay?

Be aware of everything
this fire's doing,

everything we're doing to it.

-Can you do that?
-Yeah.

All right.

Do not leave this truck.

(garbled radio transmission)

-Hey, Jake,
spin me up some weather.
-Got you, Chief.

Save you some time.

Humidity's at 18%.

Been at this a while, Chief.

Fought fire on this ridge
a time or ten, too.

That burn scar?

I was on that fire
for three days.

Yeah, I studied that scar.
Sites Fire. 2019, right?

You studied it. I lived it.

I've been doing this job
for 35 years.

It's no disrespect.

Well, maybe a little.

As a chief, you're greener
than a frog's ass.

-(laughs softly)
-So of course

you've over-deployed,
you've overreacted,

and you come waltzing up
to my very containable fire

like you know everything.

I don't know everything, Chief.

But I do know

that Deadwater growers
have been tapping

into that
declining water supply.

And there's a whole lot
of untouched surface fuels

just waiting to burn.

And that would make this fire
a lot less containable.

-Oh, which is why
we're playing defense.
-Mm-hmm.

I got hotshots and hoses

controlling the head
of this puppy

to keep it from cresting over

-into Walnut Grove.
-MANNY: Uh-huh.

So you just sit back and watch,

and we'll all be home by the
second half of the Niners game.

No disrespect...

or maybe a little.

-(chuckles)
-But you don't flank that fire,

pinching it off at the head
with some water drops,

it can get out of control,

go down that hill
and right into Edgewater.

So I don't care, Chief,

how many years
you've been doing this.

Your brand of defense could use
a little bit of aggression.

Okay, Rambo.

I'll keep this simple.

As long as this fire's on the
Drake County side of the line...

...it's mine. You copy?

I copy.

But the second that so much
as an ember crosses that line,

I'm taking over.

You copy?

JAKE: You're not gonna
like this, but, uh,

Springer was dead-on
about the humidity-- 18%.

But the winds are picking up,
north by northeast.

All right, I need eyes up on the
southern ridge, up two klicks.

Yeah, Springer's got a guy
up there.

Yeah, but I need
my guy up there.

Springer's not
looking out for us.

He already made that very clear.

So, go.

Be my eyes, Cap.

All right. On it, Chief.

All right, gents, let's move.

All right, let's go.
Move it. Line up.

EVE:
Manny calling

for the pre-deployment
with his crystal ball?

You expecting a phone call
or something?

Yeah.

Word that the ATF
actually has Landon in custody.

-Line up over there. Let's go.
-BODE: I still don't know

-what I'm gonna tell Tyler.
-Well, you know,

at least you have this fire
to give you some time

-to think about it.
-Not really. Tyler's here.

-Smuggled himself here
in Manny's backseat.
-(sighs)

Kids. Am I right?

How's the new crop coming?

Well... (sighs)

...they basically hate me

for publicly disowning them
and all.

-Yeah, that's pretty bad.
-Yeah.

But I said I'm sorry. I just...

I don't know what else to do.

Words don't mean much
when you're in the system.

Show them that you mean it.

All right, bud.

SHARON: I'm aware
that no one has ordered

a water drop, but Chief Perez
anticipates needing one,

so I need all
the available aircraft.

AIRBASE:
Copy, Chief.

Chief Leone.

One of your guys pointed me
in your direction.

-I hope that's okay.
-Of course.

We're just a little busy here
right now.

It's incredible,
the work that you do. I'm...

I'm very grateful for it.

I could say the same
about you as an educator.

(laughs)
Me? I...

I just tell kids how to game
the system to get into Berkeley.

I think you do a lot more
than that.

Look, I know that you got
a lot on your plate,

which is why I'm here, actually.

I heard that Chloe and Tyler
are staying with you?

You know how word gets around.

It's the least that I could do

after all that they lost
in the fire.

You and Bode--
I can't thank you enough.

Well, if that's all
that you came here to say,

I really do need
to get back to work.

I want them to come home...

to my house.

I don't know
if that's a good idea right now.

Hey, that night
that Bode came by, that's...

(laughs softly)

That's not who I am.

I need you to leave now.

The ATF paid me a visit.

I have a really good guess
who sent them.

And I have a really good guess
what they asked you about.

People who don't know shouldn't
start pointing fingers.

It doesn't end well,
in my experience.

(quietly):
Try me.

(Sharon sighs)

(birds singing)

(sighs) Hey.

Battalion 1508, Lookout 1.

Fire's still sitting in Drake

about 20 yards from the
power poles on the county line.

MANNY:
Copy. Keep me posted
on any movement.

Will do, Chief.

FIREFIGHTER:
You a lookout or a spy?

Look, this, uh, turf war is

between Springer
and Chief Perez.

We don't got to be part of it.

I'm just here
to stand watch for my crew.

Captain Crawford.

Inserting yourself
where you're not wanted.

Seems to be your thing.

You got a problem with me?

Man, you'd think after all
the trouble you've gone through

to talk to me...

...you'd be a little friendlier.

Malcolm.

-(wind gusting)
-(leaves rustling loudly)

Battalion 1508, Lookout 1.

Left flank's spotting off.

It's crossed the line
into Edgewater.

MANNY:
Copy, Cap. Stand by.
Will advise.

-(indistinct chatter)
-(garbled radio transmission)

All right, everybody, circle up.
Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

All right, ladies and gentlemen,

the fire jumped the county line,
and touched down in Edgewater.

Here's what we're looking at.

Springer-- he's gonna be
waiting for the fire

right here at the burn scar

in Division Alpha.

But the winds are gonna push it
right down to the Bravo side,

right here,
near this ranger lookout tower.

We're calling this Ranger Ridge.

Where do you want us?

Take a chainsaw crew there.

Some hazard trees are
in the way.

Once they're cut,
you let me know.

And I'll order a water drop,

which D.C. Leone's
already working on.

What, are you dropping
on Drake County?

Springer's gonna, what,

-roll over?
-MANNY: I'm not worrying

about Springer, Bode.

I'm worrying about containing
this fire to Ranger Ridge.

More drops will kill it there.

HARTMAN:
Alpha, Ranger? What...?

What the hell
are you talking about?

-Hartman.
-Sir.

Chief.

All right.
Three Rock, come in close.

-Come in close.
-EVE: Come on.

I want you boys
to think football, all right?

This fire--
the red area on the map--

it's ripping up the side
of this hill, like a receiver

running a route
down the sideline.

Springer-- he's gonna be
waiting right here

in the goal line, in
Division Alpha, but we're not.

You know why?

Because the drops and the wind
are gonna push it

right between these hashes
to the Bravo side,

right near Ranger Ridge,

where we're gonna be waiting
to douse it with water.

Okay, Tony Romo,
so, where are we?

I thought you would never ask.

One. Two.

Three Rock.

I need a containment line
at the heel of this thing,

-all right? Edgewater side.
-Completely out of the game.

Like second stringers.

Exactly like second stringers.
Good job, Tex.

-(Eve chuckles)
-MANNY: Unless

things go sideways,
and the game comes to you.

All right, let's go.

All right. Three Rock, with me.
Let's move.

JAKE:
Chief, Springer's up to speed
and headed your way.

Brace for impact.

I.C. copies.

Sharon?

Sharon, I-I came
as fast I could.

-Okay, um,
listen to me carefully.
-Ye-- Yes.

-Landon was just here.
-What?

You said ATF was...
was coming after him today.

Yes, but, um, you know,

unless they found
enough evidence,

all they could really do
was question him.

But he is looking
for you and Tyler.

For what?

I don't know, but I have to go,
so I need you...

-To stay here.
-Yeah.

-And not go to Landon's. Okay.
-Correct.

And I'm gonna go check on Tyler.

What do you... what do mean,
"Check on Tyler"? Where is he?

Bode called,

and he's at the county line
at a fire.

What? He's at a fire?

He said he was going to a movie.

I'm gonna go get him, and
I'm gonna make sure he's safe.

-Okay, I'm gonna come with you.
-No, no, no, no. I...

I can't have any more civilians
at this fire.

I will make sure he's okay,
I promise.

-Okay?
-Okay.

-Stay with the guys.
-Okay.

EVE:
Hey, Three Rock,
listen up for a sec.

So we are making a break
between that fire and Edgewater.

That means we're gonna cut
from that tree line right there

to the tree line
right over here.

That's a lot of fire
and no action, Cap.

-Maybe too much fire.
-Hey, Zane, do me a favor

and keep up with Hartman.
Big Tex,

get back on the line.

Hey, what's he doing?

Oh, he's cutting down
hazard trees.

They've been burned
at the roots,

so they can topple
at any moment.

Leone is protecting you

so that you can keep working,
and I'd suggest

you get back to it.

Yes, ma'am.

Tex, I said get back. Tex!

-Tex!
-BODE: Tex!

Tree!
EVE: Tex!

Heads up!

(grunting)

-(Eve groans)
-(Tex scoffs)

Damn thing almost
took my head off, Cap.

EVE:
I told you to get back in line.

-Can't lose you
from the team, Tex.
-(laughs)

EVE:
He's all right!

(exhales)

(groans) Come on.

(garbled radio transmission)

Ordering a water drop?

To the wrong part of the fire.

That's asking for chaos.

Give us a minute.

That wind is taking this fire
to Ranger Ridge,

where I will contain it with
water drops. That's control.

You're forcing it away
from the burn scar,

the hotshots, my crews.

They're not your crew anymore,
okay?

That was the deal, remember?

You keep the fire on your side
of the dirt, you keep command?

But you couldn't do that.

Greencrest, Chief Manuel Perez.

Assuming County Line I.C.

I'll take it from here.

Not gonna ambush me
with any big life revelations?

Well, you made it pretty clear
you want nothing to do with me.

Yeah. I got my station.
You got yours.

Okay, look, we...
we share the same pops,

same blood.

That's got to count
for something.

We also share 90% of DNA
with cats.

Can always get you one of those
if you're lonely.

Yeah, well,
nobody's lonely over here.

Yeah, great, 'cause I'm good.

I got my station, friends.

-Family.
-Yeah, family, right.

Like the sister
you keep fighting with?

Hey, leave my sister
out of this.

All I'm saying is...

I've always wanted a sibling
to annoy.

I don't know.
It seemed fun. That's all.

I see what you're trying to do.

(plane engine whirring)

And I see what your chief's
trying to do, too.

JAKE:
I.C., Lookout 1.

Decent drop on Division Alpha.

But Chief, fire's still moving
up to Ranger Ridge.

MANNY:
That's the plan.
Continue to monitor

for fingers and spot fires.

Copy, Chief.

Springer's not gonna like that.

Oh, well, it's like you said.

I got my station,
You have yours.

-(panting)
-EVE: Watch your step.

Hey, we got a break in the line!

Tex, Tex, I thought you said
that fire was awesome.

-Hell yeah, it is.
-Okay, well, if it comes

racing down this way,
and we got this big old gap...

It's like an O-line
leaving their QB unprotected.

-I heard you, Cap.
-Yeah, if you want to keep going

with that football metaphor,
sure.

All right, keep cutting line,
gentlemen,

because a fire ain't so awesome
under a fire shelter.

-(Zane yelling)
-Hey. Whoa.

What? What happened?

-It's just...
-Let me see.

-Let me see. Okay.
-Just a little cut.

All right, that's serious.
I got to patch you up.

Hey, keep an eye on them,
all right? Come on.

All right.
Hazard trees are down.

Where do you need me?

Man, this fire's moving
exactly where we predicted.

These winds keep up, we keep
hitting it with water drops,

we could have this out
by nightfall.

-Sounds like
the plan's coming together.
-Yeah, maybe.

Actually, my lookout says
your plan's falling apart.

JAKE:
I.C., Lookout 1.

Fire's spotting off back
in Alpha. Near the burn scar.

Spot fires? Nah,

my plan's not falling apart.

You moved my engines
from that spot in Alpha.

-Yeah.
-Unless you can

pull resources
out of thin air...

FIREFIGHTER:
Chief Perez?

Stations 58 and 96 are on scene.

Let us know where you need us.

(Manny sighs)

All right, Bode, take 'em over

to Division Alpha,
put out those spot fires.

Give me a review
once you get there.

Go.

(indistinct chatter)

You lose your grip
on this thing, I.C....

...you turn Drake County
into the next Zabel Ridge.

Chief, I lived Zabel Ridge...

once.

And I'm not about to live it
again if I can help it.

I'll go up there with my crew,

and I'll get eyes on it myself,
all right?

You have my word.

(wind whistling)

Man, these winds are picking up.

You worried Springer's right?

I'll make sure he's not.

Airbase, County Line I.C.

What's the ETA
on our next water drop?

AIRBASE:
15 to 20 minutes, I.C.

All right, we hold this thing
off till then, we're golden.

FIREFIGHTER:
Chief, trees are starting
to torch!

Damn it.

Can't let the fire
reach the canopy.

BODE:
Hey, I need another line

-over here right now.
-Hey, over here.

All right? Hurry.

All right, look at that.

We get that water drop
on Ranger Ridge,

we put this baby to bed.

Hey, Jake, how's it looking?

Smoke and fire dissipating
in Division Alpha.

We're back on track, Chief.

Tell your chief.

Maybe I'll write him a letter.

Our parents kept us a secret
from each other.

That pissed me off, too.

And hurt.

But that's not my fault.

No. No, my fault...

...is showing up at your door
three years ago

and chickening out.

Three years ago?

And I walked away.

Because it wasn't
the right time for me.

And now I'm seeing

that this might not be
the right time for you.

So I'll back off.

But if it ever is...

...in a year,

hell, ten years from now...

I just want
to get to know you, dude.

Three years ago...

Mom almost lost the house.

I almost flunked senior year
trying to hold down a job.

I could've used a brother
back then.

Or a friend.

Hey.

Fire's way too close to...

What'd your chief call it?
Ranger Ridge?

The fire crests over it,
and it won't be long

until all
of Drake County goes up.

Yeah, yeah, I see it. I see it.
Hey, I.C.,

you might want to see if someone

can speed up
that next water drop.

Copy, Captain.
D.C. Leone on scene.

I'll look into it.

Airbase, the next water drop
should be on its way.

-Where is it?
-You the division chief?

This is Airbase.
All air operations grounded

due to high winds.

Will advise
when conditions improve.

MANNY:
Airbase, County Line I.C.

We need that water drop
on Ranger Ridge now.

We can't lose hold
of this thing.

-Manny, the winds are too high.
-MANNY: Chief,

current winds are at 30 knots.

Airbase, send us
the requested aircraft now,

before it rips
into Walnut Grove.

That plan, Manny?

This is his plan.

To let Drake County burn.

MANNY:
Airbase, we need

one water drop.
One, and we're out of here.

I.C.
There is no water drop.

(wind whistling)

BODE:
Well, this wind
isn't dying down.

MANNY:
Tell me about it.

Hey, Chief, we really need

-that water drop.
-Yeah, but it's too risky

-to put an aircraft in the air.
-Chief--

Hey, I don't like this answer

any better than you do,
but this is the reality.

Springer's the one
who set all this up.

Yeah, and then you made the
unorthodox move to claim I.C.

when this fire is
right on the county line, but...

Whatever. We'll get
into it later. Right now...

Right now? Right now,
I deploy my backup plan.

-(Bode exhales)
-Are you privy
to this backup plan?

No, just the original one.

Flank the fire, pinch it off,
kill it with water drops.

Now, Manny's either got
one hell of a Hail Mary,

or one hell of a gamble.

And where is Tyler?

He's in Manny's truck.

Thought I could keep him safe.

Trust me, you are not in control

of any teenage boy's impulses.

Oh, and I didn't do any better
keeping Chloe safe.

Landon is looking for her.

-The ATF questioned him?
-Yeah, and then,

they had to let him go, so the
next step is talking to Tyler,

to corroborate your tip, so,

-his cooperation
is gonna be key.
-All right.

He-He'll do anything
to keep Chloe safe.

Let me go talk to him.

Okay. Thanks.

(sighs)

(garbled radio transmission)

Hey.

My mom's gonna
take you home soon.

And I got to ask you
to do something.

Okay. To do what?

The ATF needs to talk to you.

They can't put Landon away
without more evidence.

Uh, I can't... um, I can't...

No, I can't... I can't do that.

You said you wanted
to help today, right?

This is your chance.

Look, you-you got Landon's voice
in your head,

telling you everything
that you can't do.

Hear my voice now.

You're more than your mistakes.

You can be someone more,
you can...

You can be someone who helps.

Mom always said
I had tunnel vision.

Could only see
what was right in front of me.

(laughs) So clumsy.

Okay, so,
you're gonna need stitches,

but you can get back out there
and cut line.

-I have to go back out?
-Well, yeah.

You kept your sleeves down

the whole time
you were on the line?

Yeah, always.

Oh.

You know, it's pretty hard
to get a gash like that

with an uncut jacket and shirt.

The first time
I did live-fire training,

I, um, rolled my ankle.

You wanted to get out of it?

First time I felt that heat,

I, uh, was questioning
my life choices.

What happened?

My captain threw me back
into training.

Said the pain of my rolled ankle

would never be
as much as my regret.

You were scared?

(laughs)
You were scared?

(both laugh)

Well, how'd you get over it?

I'll show you. Let's go.

HARTMAN:
Swamp faster for me, bro.

INMATE:
No, Cap said four foot scrape.
Come on.

-INMATE 2: Out of my way, dude.
-INMATE 3: Dude, when's lunch?

(indistinct conversation)

EVE:
Hey, listen up!

-Everybody over here!
-Let's move it, guys.

-Bring it in.
-Come here! Listen up.

Is anybody here scared
of what's going on over there?

-Hell no, Cap!
-EVE: No.

Everybody's afraid
of something, even you, Tex.

Clowns, Cap.

And spiders.

Okay. Thank you for that.
So, the first step...

-And heights.
-ACE: Yo, shut up.

-Cap's got something to say.
-EVE: N-- No, no, no, no.

Tex, you're on to something.

First step
in overcoming your fears

is you got
to acknowledge it, y'all.

It's a gold star, bro.

So when your bus rolled up,

and I saw you guys,
I didn't see my guys.

I saw my own fear.

That I wouldn't be able
to fulfill my duty as captain

of this crew, to you.

So I lashed out...

instead of telling y'all
that I'm scared.

Y'all see any aircraft
in the sky?

And y'all feel this wind, right?

So, unless those hoses
get ahold of that fire in there,

the winds could change

and that fire's coming
right towards us.

So, I'm-a ask you one more time.

Are any of you scared
of this fire?

Don't want to be
the odd man out, you know?

All right! Let's get
to work, gentlemen. Move!

-Let's go cut this line! Go!
-Hell yeah, Cap!

-EVE: Move! Go! Let's go!
-(overlapping chatter)

Fire's still cresting up Ranger
Ridge towards Walnut Creek.

Yeah, but as soon as nightfall
closes in, it'll bring humidity.

Your chief really thinks
that'll be enough

to manage these flames?

Without air support?

Our I.C. does. Yeah.

I hope so,

because it's my community
at risk.

Look, I-I...

I didn't know you were at risk.

Three years ago...

-...had I known, I-I would've...
-L-Like I said...

...I'm good now.

MANNY (over radio):
All crews, I.C.

Redirecting efforts
from fire attack to containment.

All crews, divert to the anchor.

He's diverting crews?

The hell, Perez?

You're moving resources
away from Drake County?

You gave me your word,
chief to chief,

that you wouldn't turn Drake
into the next Zabel Ridge.

And I stand by it.

All right? I'm not turning it

-into Zabel Ridge.
-Well, from where I'm standing,

I'm looking at a fire heading
straight for Drake County.

And your little water drop
didn't happen, either.

I'm working on my backup plan,
all right?

Are you? Or are you
a green battalion chief

-in over your head?
-I'm out of here, man.

I'm talking to you!

-Hey! Hey! Hey!
-Get off me. Yo, yo, yo.

-Stop it!
-Chief! Chief.
-Son of a bitch.

-What's wrong with you, man?
-Hey! Chief.

This ends right here.

Pulling resources
off that mountain?

Your battalion chief
just sealed Drake County's fate.

That has nothing to do
with Drake County, man.

You know this dirt so well?

Do you? 'Cause if you did,

you would know
that winter nights

bring sundowner winds.

You mean you always knew
there was an outside chance

that the winds were gonna turn

and the water drop
would never get through?

BODE:
Your backup plan

was to bring the fire
to Edgewater?

No.

I'm bringing the fire
to the line that Three Rock cut.

That's my plan.

So, you're banking on a hand
line to hold off this fire?

Manny, come on. Three Rock's
only been on the job

for, like, a week.

I know that, Chief.

Which is exactly why
I'm bringing down engines:

to back them up.

Not to leave
Drake County out to dry.

I told you, Chief.

I stand by my word.

I'll hurry my guys up.

Whatever you need.

Manny, uh... (sighs)

Are you sure about this?

Three Rock.

I.C. Be advised,
winds are shifting

and it's heading back
to Edgewater.

I.C., Three Rock.
Copy, the winds are shifting.

Eve, is that line ready?

'Cause you're up, baby.

Copy, I.C. We're up.

Gentlemen!

Three Rock, bring it in!

TEX:
Line up! Let's go! Move!

EVE:
Listen, I know
that you're tired

and I know that you're hungry,
but it is our time.

Unless we get increased humidity

or the winds allow
for an air attack,

you are the only thing
that stands between that...

and home.

Call it, Tex.

Hey! Second stringers!

We're in the game now, boys!

(whistles)
Bring it in!

One, two...

ALL:
Three Rock!

Let's go!

-Move! Move! Move!
-(overlapping chatter)

Keep pushing, keep going!

MANNY (over radio):
Lookout 1, I.C.

Abandon your lookout
and report back to the ICP.

I.C., Lookout 1. Copy.

We're headed back.

Drake County's gonna make it?

What about Edgewater?

Well, we still got a shot.

Now, you got a fast way for us
to get back down to that line?

* *

(distant chatter)

CREW (over radio):
I.C., Crew 4. Walkies are low.

Need additional batteries
on site.

MANNY:
Crew 4, I.C. All crews occupied.

Requesting someone
to retrieve them.

ND CREW:
I.C., Crew 4.

We can't afford to lose anyone
at the division.

Yo.

-Ringo.
-Yeah. Yeah?

-We're hitching a ride.
-"Ringo"?

Nickname he got after cutting
a ring on a medical incident.

Oh, off of a finger?

Not a finger.

Oh.

(engine starts)

I.C., I think I saw batteries
in the truck.

Will report back.

Tyler.

* *

Tyler's missing.

I had him listening
to radio traffic. I...

I think went to deliver
those batteries from the truck.

Go find him.

JAKE:
Malcolm, what's our ETA?

Almost there.

(overlapping chatter)

-Hello?
-FIREFIGHTER: Let's go,

let's go, let's go!

(coughs)

-Watch out!
-(tires screech)

(cries out)

Lookout 1,
this is I.C. Check in.

Jake, check in, damn it.

Manny, where is Tyler?

And where's Bode?

Manny?

Where are they?

(coughs) Hello?

BODE (distant):
Tyler?

-(coughing)
-Tyler, call out!

Tyler!

-Bode!
-Fire's coming. Get down!

(grunts, coughs)

(Tyler coughing)
