Previously on Fire Country...

Tell me something
about your ex-wife.

Roberta's really volatile.

- Honey?
- This is... Roberta. My ex.

I'm not leaving Jake in there.

Radio's off.
You're in and you're out.

Safe and fast.

We got you, bro.

(shouts)

BODE:
Malcolm!

The swelling has stabilized.

- And that's good, right?
- Very good.

- Bode.
- Cole. What's good, man?

You in this cadet uniform.

That's exactly
where I want to be.

Out, starting a new chapter.

I want the job.
REMS 1 team leader.

Sacramento's not gonna
want someone so green

- to head this thing up.
- Is this about me

being green or
that I've been in orange?

Probably both.

- BODE: So put eyes on me.
- Body cams?

Make me REMS 1 today.

Let me show Sacramento
who I am, not who I was.

ACE: Yo, camping on that mountain
was badass.

So bummed I wasn't there
to see it live.

Dude, we almost died.

Yeah, but what
a badass way to go.

I mean... Yo!

300,000 views?

(cheering)

EVE:
Yo, yo, yo,

simmer down, gents.

- (laughs)
- BODE: It's so important

that more REMS teams are formed

so that no firefighter
is ever left behind.

We need legislative support
to make that happen.

COLE:
So, Leone's a talking head now?

Okay, who's talking?

Oh, my God, Cole!

Hey, you come here, man.

It is so good to see you.

- Yeah, you, too.
- Yo, guys?

Eyes to the front.

This is Cole Rodman.

Now, I want you to take a minute

because this could be
your shining future

if you don't screw it up.

Okay? Now,
I want you to settle in,

and I'm gonna check in
on our other guest speaker.

All right.

- Cole.
- EVE: Hey, man.

Okay. Well,
I hope your newfound online fame

hasn't made you too fancy
to join us today.

I wouldn't miss it.
I'll be there soon.

All right.

- Eve?
- Yeah.

Alumni Speaker Day, right?

Yeah.

So I don't have a lot of time
for poster boy duty right now.

So, let me get this straight.

Eve is hoping that you'll act
as an inspiring example

for the boys, kind of like
a guy that you put on a poster.

Right?

I mean, come on,
this is a great day

for you to promote yourself

and REMS.

Snap a bunch
of pictures to post.

You got to keep up
that shiny new REMS 1 glow.

No, I don't want to put that
on the guys.

What are you talking about?

They made you look
so good last week

the brass forgot
you ever even wore orange.

Look, you may not
love the spotlight,

Bode Coyote,
but it sure as hell loves you.

(scoffs)

Today isn't about me.

It's about
setting a good example.

Okay.

So how about you do that,

and I'll show up,
I'll take the pictures.

- Uncle Luke...
- Or I can

set up another TV interview.
I know how much you like those.

Fine, fine.
All right, you can come.

(laughs) You are so predictable.

Oh, my God.

Mm. What are you afraid of?
The camera loves you.

Are you kidding me?

♪ ♪

Do you know what you want?

Oh, that
western omelet looks so good.

I was just gonna have coffee,
but that western omelet

looks good.
Do you know what you want?

Did I already ask?
I already asked you

if you know what you want.

Look, I get it. Roberta
showing up out of the blue

freaked you out, huh?

No, I'm not,
I'm not freaked out.

I mean, I think it's great

that you have
an ex-wife who looks like that

and just showed up
out of the blue for no reason.

Yeah, why would
that freak me out?

It shouldn't freak you out.

'Cause you're my girlfriend.

(gasps)

You think
you can get away with that,

just throwing out
that g-word like that?

(laughs) I don't know,
is it working?

(laughs)

Look, Roberta and me, we're...

we're ancient history.

(cell phone buzzing)

Maybe you should tell her that.

What does she want?

I don't know.

But I want you.

And there's nothing she can
say or do to change that.

Trust me.

So much has changed.

- Yeah, well...
- The last time I was here,

Three Rock was burning.

Now y'all got chickens,
y'all got crops.

(laughs)

It's like none of
the bad stuff even happened.

How'd you do that, Cap?

We had to really push to reopen.

And now that we got
all these eyes on us,

and they're looking
to cut the funding...

And I've got
all these young guys. It's...

Yeah, and they're more than
happy to give you that excuse.

Yeah. You know, with the fights

and the unsanctioned visitors,

and the particularly
disgusting prank war,

which I will
spare you the details on.

Ah, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

And, you know, a couple of them

are up for parole soon.

(sighs)

You're worried.

I mean, if they're
gonna act wild in here,

how are they gonna
survive out there?

Yeah.

It is not an easy transition.

- Yeah.
- That's for sure.

I am happy to get real about it.

Damn, Cole.

I am so proud of you.

(people cheering)

MAN: You want to make
the cut for Drake County? Go!

- (indistinct chatter)
- WOMAN: Nice. Well done.

He's got a minute left.

He'll be here any minute now.

You just watch.

Ah, see? There. There he is.
Let's go, Malcolm. Hey!

(grunts)

JAKE:
Dig deep, bro!

Let's go! Let's go!

- (panting)
- Yeah, boy!

(whoops) You're gonna be back
in Drake County blues

by lunchtime.

(panting)

Holy hell, that last mile
almost got me.

But you kicked its ass.
That's what Crawfords do.

Sorry. 17 seconds over.

(exhales sharply)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Look. Hey, come on, man.

This is not
where this ends, all right?

Look, you'll
just retake the test.

Gotta wait six months
to take it again.

My chief said he can't
hold my job that long.

This was my shot.

Okay, you know what? Good.

You don't need this anyway.

You'll find a new job.

Any station would
be lucky to have you.

How about 42?

I could take
the Cal Fire fitness test,

apply there.

I already know
the captain likes me.

Sorry.

Sorry, forget it.

I didn't mean to put you
in a tough spot.

No, you know what? Let's...

let's do it.

- Yeah?
- What's the point

of being captain
if I can't pull some strings?

Dude, we could work together.

I'm gonna make it happen.
I got you.

Come on.

- Whoo!
- BODE: Cole.

Starting to think I made you up,

the way you've been
dodging my texts.

Oh, nah, man.

Just, uh, making up
for lost time with the kids.

Kelly's finally
able to breathe again.

That's good, man.
I'm happy for you.

How about you?

You know, I've seen that video.

Big time now, man.

(laughs) Look at you.

You are looking happier, too.

You got a girl?

Chloe, yeah.

She's an old high school crush.

Aw, living the dream, man.

EVE:
Three,

two, one!

Stop! All right, count 'em.

(muttering to himself)

...16, 17, 18.

(whispering):
18, 19, 20...

- 23.
- What is it? What is it?

Erstling wins!

- All right!
- (applause)

All right, who's next up?

What about you? Working?

Yeah, yeah,
got a job at a dealership.

But I bet

I could still smoke you
in the chop-off.

What y'all think?

Leone here's been
living pretty lately

with his power tools.

Think he can still
swing it old-school?

- (applause)
- All right.

Well, let's set up
this gauntlet, then.

- All right.
- (chuckles)

That is some pretty big talk
for a desk rider.

Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This desk rider is
about to smoke you, brother.

Okay, my role models.

Let's cut the trash talk.

Put up or shut up. Let's go.

All right, come on, guys!
Come on, get out of there!

Let's go, let's go!
Gather, gather!

Here we go. All right,
gentlemen, you ready?

Set!

Chop!

(cheering and shouting)

(grunts)

(groans)

Damn it.

What the hell, Sharon?

When I said that the gasket

on the manifold was acting up,
I didn't mean you should fix it.

(groans) It's not acting up.

The whole thing needs
to be replaced.

I can check the flange
and torque it down, but...

Yeah, Bode told me
about your gearhead thing.

How about I call
the actual mechanic for you?

Uh, Alexei has been
a no-show for two weeks.

He's the reason why
I'm stuck here trying to fix it.

Sharon, you can't fix it.

You can't fix everything,
all right?

Some things are just
out of your control.

Roberta's still
calling you, huh?

Yeah, she's calling, texting,

inviting me to dinner,

freaking Camille out.

Oh, she's freaking
Camille out, huh?

All right, fine,
she's getting to me, too.

- Yeah.
- I'm just glad that

Gabriela is far
from the fallout this time.

Yeah.

But you know what?

I'm not gonna get sucked in.

It's like booze
or gambling or...

engines, maybe.

Gotta go cold turkey sometimes,

step away from the chaos.

(engine thumps and rattles)

Okay.

I'll see your
"step away from the chaos."

Alexei.

This is Chief Leone.

I've been down a rig
for two weeks,

so unless you want to be the one

to tell the next little old lady

why I couldn't save her house,

get your ass down here now.

- Sometimes the chaos wins.
- (chuckles)

(chuckling):
Sometimes it does.

(cheering and shouting)

EVE:
Three, two, one! Time!

Time, time.

All right, that's 14, Cole.

15, Bode.

- Whoa!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

That log's hanging
on by a thread. It's a tie.

It's barely holding
on by a thread.

Yeah, but it's hanging on,
ain't it?

All right, this is
the captain's call,

and the captain says

that Leone took it by one.

(cheering)

I'm sorry, bud, but also,

nice job.

Good work, everybody.
Let's get some snacks,

let's hydrate.
Go ahead and head back.

Hey, you did good, bud.

Like I said, hydrate, gentlemen.

BODE:
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Better luck next time,
desk rider.

Yeah, should've known
you'd have this one fixed, too.

Okay, y'all aren't gonna
accuse me

of rigging a chop-off.

Hey, somebody's gotta
show these boys

how to lose gracefully.

Yeah, you're right.

Guess I never stood a chance
against the great Bode Leone.

REMS 1 golden boy, right?

Okay, we're not doing that here.

No, no, Eve. No, let him finish.

Clearly, Cole's got something
he wants to say.

Somehow, all you do is win.

And what? I earn my wins.

Not without the name Leone,
you don't.

- Cole?
- What's your problem?

You are my problem.

♪

Hey, guys, um,
grab a snack and, uh,

give us a minute.

Okay.

(quiet chatter)

I don't even know
where to start, y'all.

I brought you in here
to be role models,

and this is the shining example
y'all want to set?

I didn't mean
to set you off like that.

I was totally out of line, man.

(cell phone chimes)

My shift starts in 15 minutes.

Good to see you, man.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be. I'm already
cooking up your punishment.

I'm thinking an alumni series,
one post a week

on, uh, social media.

(chuckles)

That punishment for me
or for the audience?

(chuckles)

Something's not right with Cole.

The way he blew up?

I'll keep an eye on Cole.

(Bode sighs)

All right, that unit is up
and ready to go.

That sounds promising.

Hey, would you give us a second?

Okay.

What's up, Roberta? I'm working.

I offered
to meet you for dinner,

lunch and coffee.

I offered to cook for you.

(laughs)

You don't cook.

You don't know.

Hey, maybe I cook now.

- Oh, really? Yeah?
- Yeah.

Yeah, do you cook now?

No.

(laughs)

But I'm trying.

(laughs)

You know, I remember,
on our second date,

you made those terrible

- tortas?
- Torta.

Look at this. You see
this tooth? Still chipped

'cause of your tortas.

Oh.

Huh.

Let me see?

Oh, it looks good to me.

- You shouldn't be here.
- Why?

You don't think your
relationship with this

Camille will survive
a few appetizers?

Dessert, maybe?

You know, that's the thing
about dessert.

First bite's always good.

Closer you get
to cleaning your plate,

that's when the regret kicks in.

You regret all of it?

Of course not.

We made Gabriela.

We made a life.

I didn't say it was all bad.

Then have dinner with me.

(sighs)

Just want to talk.
I just want us to...

There's no "us" anymore,
Roberta.

And there's nothing you can say

that would require
a private dinner.

(alarm blaring)

Please don't come here again.

(horn honks)

- (indistinct chatter)
- (radio chatter)

Should do a loop
and shut off the gas.

Hey, when was the last time
you talked to Cole?

Oh, man, not for a while.

I mean, not since he asked me
for a recommendation at 72.

Shame it didn't work out.

Cole asked you to recommend him
for a firefighting job?

Yeah, a few months back.

Said he was itching
to get back on a line.

Can you blame him?

Imagine having
to give all this up.

Yikes.

I don't blame the neighbors
for calling us in.

That roof is definitely gonna
bring down the property values.

DISPATCHER:
Kensington I.C.

We got word from PG&E the power

- has been secured.
- Copy that, thanks.

Hey, Bode.

Maybe don't mention
anything to Cole, all right?

When the rec didn't work out,

didn't seem like he really
wanted to get into it.

- Hmm.
- Great.

All right,
I'm gonna finish up my 360.

You guys are cleared
to go interior

- on primary search.
- BODE: On it.

MANNY:
Greencrest, I.C., I'm on site.

Ah, Alexei.

You do know where we're located.

Just took you two weeks
and a couple of threats

to jog your memory.

The only reason
I no-showed last time

is because we didn't get paid.

That's not possible.

Calling my boss a liar?

He said the invoice
did not get paid.

I handle every single invoice
that comes into this place,

so I know he got paid.

He doesn't
even want me here now,

but I wouldn't be able
to live with myself

if a house burned down
'cause you're out a rig.

So I am spending my day off
doing you a favor.

Well, why don't I do you a favor

and figure out why your boss
can't keep track of his checks?

But, in the meantime,

would you get to work?

(scoffs)

Cal Fire!
Yell if you can hear us!

SHAUNA:
Oh!

JEREMY:
Please hurry, we're trapped!

I can't open the door,
the pole's in the way,

and Shauna, my girlfriend,
she... It's so bad.

Just take-take a breath.
What's your name?

- Jeremy.
- Jeremy, I need you

- to take a step back.
- Yeah.

All right, let us know
when you're clear.

Okay. I'm clear!

(Shauna screaming)

Wait, wait, wait.
Stop! Stop! Stop.

Jeremy,
what's going on in there?

JEREMY: Every time you touch the door,
the telephone pole moves

- and it hurts Shauna.
- It's okay, Jeremy.

I can see another entrance.

JEREMY:
What other entrance?

The one we're about

to carve
straight through this wall.

You ready for
the world's worst home reno?

Clearly, you don't remember
when Nonno built his man cave.

Hmm.

All right, we'll keep it tight,

and remember...

look out
for any pipes and wires.

Hey, you. You doing all right?

- What, me?
- Yeah, you.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm good.

Are you kidding me?
Look at this spread.

Y'all got
brand-name protein bars now.

Well, it is
a very small thank you

for being one of
our first alumni speakers.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah,
I'd be more than happy

to come around more often,

turn this whole thing

into something
a little bit more legit.

What, like a mentorship
program or something?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I got some ideas,

some tools that I wish
I had picked up on the inside.

Yeah, wouldn't be much,

just a little bit
of stipend for my time.

(laughs) Nah, I'm sorry, man,

Like, "a little bit
of a stipend"

is a little much for us.

I mean,
I would love nothing more

than to have alumni on staff,

but, I mean...

I had to pay for
those protein bars myself.

Got you.

You, uh...

...you sure there's
nothing you can do, Cap?

I mean, nothing that's worth

leaving your cushy
dealership job for.

(Eve chuckles)

Okay.

Let's get this Q&A on the road.

Not like
I'm getting paid per answer.

Hey, what?

All right, y'all, eyes up front.

♪ ♪

(Shauna moaning)

Ma'am, how are you feeling?

Like I got...
hit by a telephone pole.

This is crazy.

Just hang on.
Let me get a look at you. Here.

(Shauna crying)

Can you feel this?

No.

Hey, wait, are you that
firefighter from the news?

(Shauna groans)

All right, keep that towel
pressed tight.

I.C., Crawford.

Got two responsive patients.

One with a head wound,

second has her leg
pinned by the pole.

Copy. We'll send in blocks,

and have struts sent up from 42.

No struts?

Make do with cribbing for now?

Yeah, utilize anything
structural we can find.

Has a pedal pulse,
but also numb.

Could be crush syndrome risk.

What-what-what's crush syndrome?

Uh, it's a type of shock,

but it's unlikely to have
settled in this quickly.

- SHAUNA: Jeremy?
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- I'm here.
- BODE: Moving the pole

- could trigger more of a collapse.
- Yeah.

We can pull her out,
if we can cut this cross bridge.

No, we can't,
it's weight-bearing.

If we cut it,
weight will redistribute.

All right.

Well, we can't pull it off,
so we cut below.

Bed frame should give us
a few inches of clearance.

Yeah, secure the pole,
cut the frame.

- Pull her out.
- Good.

Whoa, whoa, wait, wait. Cut...

cut the bed, with her in it?

Okay, hey, Jeremy...

Look, I get it.

All right? I have a fiancée

and it would be hard for me
to see her like this, too.

But we know what we're doing.

Okay? So that means you
got to give us the space

- to do our job.
- Wait, what do you mean? No, no, no.

I-I'm not leaving.
I'm not leaving.

SHAUNA:
Jeremy? Jeremy, it's okay.

- Hey.
- Go.

I love you.

We never said that before.

I love you, too.

Okay. All right, okay.

JAKE:
Hey. Hey.

We got her.

B, that's you.

JAKE:
All right, watch your head.

Don't worry,

we'll get you back to him.

Alexei?

You want some coffee?

Why do you sound
all high and pitchy?

Or-or-or water or...

Mm.

(chuckles)

You found the invoice.

I found the invoice.

And you forgot to pay it.

I forgot to pay it.
You were right.

What was that?

You were right.

And?

And I'm so sorry.

I-I really thought
that I'd paid it.

I-I really haven't
been myself this year,

- and that's no excuse...
- It's fine.

Hell, I fell asleep
under a rig the other day.

Everyone's allowed an off day.

Yeah, but it's
your actual day off,

and I spent
the whole thing being...

pitchy.

Well, you're, uh,
you're passionate.

What?

About protecting this town.

If I get to help you with that,
that's not a bad way

to spend a day off.

Well, I will get that invoice
to you and get you paid.

It should be there
by the end of the day.

I know you're good for it.

JAKE:
Oh, hey, hey, Manny.

I, uh, wanted
to run something by you.

Look, I know
a, uh, talented firefighter,

and I think he'd be
a great fit at, uh, 42.

I'd love to consider him, man,

but I don't really have space
for someone new.

Look. Hey, hey.

He's totally worth
moving the money around,

and you've already seen him
in action. It's Malcolm.

Malcolm?
What about Drake County?

Well, look, he just barely
missed his fitness level,

but it was
only by a few seconds.

Look, he'll take
the Cal Fire test.

He's in great shape.
We just did a 10K hike

last week
and he barely broke a sweat.

Jake, I'm-I'm glad
that Malcolm's doing better.

- Yeah.
- All right? I am, but he failed the test.

All right?
That means he's not ready.

And I need to be able
to count on every single

firefighter on my crew.
You know that, right?

You know that.

You got everything?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Good, 'cause there's...

Hey, can I help you?

Oh, my God.

Shauna Walters, my wife.
This is my house.

Uh...

Wait, is that my landscaper

the waiting,

...I considered

a lot of factors
when applying for jobs.

You get a company car?

I bet it's hella nice.

I will, if...

when I complete
my sales training.

ACE: Why would you go for a job
with more training

when you already
got training here?

Being a firefighter isn't the
end-all, be-all for everyone.

But you're crazy good
with that axe, bruh.

Almost as good as Bode.

Let's move on.

Hey, camp's about more
than just chopping wood, dude.

Yeah, not for me, man.

The second I graduate,
I'm definitely joining Cal Fire.

- THREE ROCKER: Yeah, me, too.
- Yeah, you don't know that.

THREE ROCKER 2:
That'd be cool.

What do you mean?

I can't do this.

(inmates murmuring)

(door opens)

(door closes)

Hey, Shauna?

This is Noelle.
She's gonna give you an IV.

Okay? It's just precautionary

till we can get you
out of this mess.

Too bad you can't get me

out of the mess out there.

NOELLE:
Everything looks as good as can be.

MANNY: Hey, Crawford, this is I.C.
You got an update?

Moving to extrication now.

(saw buzzing)

(wood creaking)

(saw buzzing)

All right. I'll keep an eye
on the cribbing,

make sure everything holds.

Let it down easy.

- (creaking)
- Huh.

Don't like that.

All right, yeah?
We're good. We're holding.

We lost the struts!

- There goes the pole!
- Support it!

- (grunts)
- B, if this thing slips any more,

this pole's coming down.

Shauna? She's unresponsive.

We can't wait.

We gotta move now.

All right. Hey.

All right, B, listen.

(grunting)
Finish lowering it,

and you get her out.

I got it.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

- All right.
- (Jake grunting)

(Jake straining)

All right.
All right, go. Go, go.

(wood creaking)

(grunting)

BODE:
All right. Down. Okay.

BODE:
She's out.

- JAKE: Hey, we all right?
- Yeah, you good?

Pushing morphine.

Uh, she should rouse
unless it is crush syndrome.

Come on.

What's, um...

...what's happening?

Can you feel
Noelle touch your leg?

Yeah?

Any numbness, tingling?

No.

No, I can feel it.

(exhales):
God, I can feel everything.

(Shauna exhales)

I.C., Crawford.

We had to expedite.

Uh, packaging patient now.

Then moving to egress.

Thank you, all.

Can't imagine
what you must think of me.

No judgment.

Just here to help.

(indistinct radio chatter)

Oh, man.

That was pretty exciting, huh?

Hey. Look, we can give you
a ride. To the hospital.

For what?

I mean...
look at them over there.

She's been telling me
in a million tiny, subtle ways

our marriage was over.

(sighs) I just...
I kept ignoring the signs.

(sighs)

Hey, Cole.

It seems like
something's going on with you.

Want to get into it, hit me up.

(phone buzzing)

Eve, what's up?

You know, it's Cole.
He stormed off.

He's not answering his calls
and I'm worried.

- (sighs)
- COLE: Hey, Leone.

Don't be.

I got eyes on him
here at the station.

I'm on my way.

Yo, uh...

...offer still open,
to get into it?

I haven't held down
a job in a year.

You should've seen
my wife's smile when Eve called.

I told her I wasn't coming home
without a job at Three Rock.

What about your job
at the dealership?

I did get hired there.

For three days.

Then the results of
my background check came back,

and my boss saw

"ex-con...

manslaughter..."

...and suddenly,
he couldn't see me anymore.

Fired me.

And honestly?
I am not even surprised.

Yeah, man,
but you paid your debt.

You served your time.

- You deserve to...
- COLE: What?

Trip to the do-over store?

You deserve to be a firefighter.

Yeah, I tried.

I applied to all the agencies...

...Forest Service,

and every municipal station
near Stockton.

I didn't get a single interview.

The truth is... and I know
that you are the exception,

but for the rest of us...

...being an ex-con
is a life sentence.

EVE:
It's false pastures.

My daddy used to say

that you could house a calf,

you can tend to its every need,

but if it's grazing
on sick land,

it will not thrive.

I mean, we're over here
blaming ourselves,

but Three Rock's
not the problem,

it's just not enough.

- Because out there, it's all just...
- False pastures.

- EVE: Yeah.
- That is about the sum of it.

Look, I wish we had the budget
to hire you at Three Rock,

- but I'm gonna try my best to help you.
- COLE: Eve,

it's fine.

- I get it.
- BODE: It's not fine.

We're not done helping you.
We just have to figure out how.

- Right, Eve?
- EVE: Right. Right.

We will. I promise.

17 seconds.

That's what cost him
his career with Drake County.

Look, I-I-I want him
to take the Cal Fire test,

and get a position here.

- That's it.
- Okay.

Talk to Manny.

- He's in charge of staff hirings.
- (exhales)

I did, and he said no.

And honestly? I'm done
with hearing no as an answer.

(sighs)

I don't ask for favors, Sharon.

Or shortcuts.

And I've been
a good soldier to 42.

Even when I was
overlooked as B.C.,

for a position
you and I both know

Vince trained me for.

So, this is about a grievance?

It's about family.

And you've made it pretty clear
that I'm part of yours.

- You are.
- And family pulls strings.

That is what you did
for Bode, right?

At Three Rock? At 42?

Malcolm is my brother.

My blood.

And I have never asked anyone
to even touch a string for me.

But I am asking now.

For my family.

I'll see what I can do.

So, I heard you were
at the hospital today.

Let's order our drinks first.

What did you say to Camille?

That's not why I went there.

- I know you.
- I know you know me.

The way I behaved
in the past, there's...

(sighs)

Look, I... (laughs)

This is not going
the way I planned, at all.

Um, I was gonna
take you to dinner

and tell you I wish things
with us had been different.

That I wish I would have
been different.

(sighs) And then, after dessert,
I was gonna ask you...

Why? Why were you
at the hospital?

(sighs)

What's wrong?

Well, uh...

a few months ago, I went
to the doctor with a headache,

and I left
with a brain aneurysm.

Is there anything you can do?

Surgery.

But it's risky, I don't...
I'm not sure I want to do it.

But hey, I started doing things

that were on my bucket list
for years now.

I went to Barcelona,

I kissed the Blarney Stone...

which, I-I don't think
it works...

uh, I-I, I snorkeled...

What are you talking about
right now?

Well, I'm talking
about living, Manny.

I'm talking about
finally understanding

what makes life meaningful.

And none of it

feels as meaningful
as having dinner with you.

I love you, Manny.

I do.

And I know you believe
in second chances.

So I'm asking for one,

for us.

(phone buzzing)

(insects trilling)

- Ready?
- BODE: Yeah.

I'm Bode Leone.

First fire that I fought,
there were no cameras.

I was an inmate
at Three Rock Con Camp.

But it didn't matter
that we wore orange

when we protected people
from the flames.

And when we got hurt on the job,

fire didn't care
that we were in orange.

No, it'd burn us just the same.

Today, I'm a firefighter...

...but I was then, too.

And so were the guys who were
fighting fire right next to me.

But now they can't get
that same job on the outside.

You know, suddenly, it's like,

all that matters is that
they were once wearing orange.

We need to do better.

So, I'm asking every fire chief
in the state

to match that mission

for every firefighter,

no matter how
they got their start.

That's good, Bode.

(music playing loudly)

SHARON:
Oh, that's why

I kept breaking bolts.

Mm, I needed
a ratcheting box wrench.

Never met a D.C. who could tell
one wrench from another.

Oh, I learned a lot
riding an old motorcycle.

I have an '18 Triumph Bobber.

Gorgeous, but temperamental.

And demanding.

I ride, too. '76 Shovelhead.

- (hood closes)
- Oh.

- An American classic.
- Yeah.

Little rough around the edges,
but always gets the job done.

(laughs)

Well, I'll see you
out on the road sometime.

Honestly, I haven't ridden
in a long time.

Too busy putting out fires

and yelling
at blameless mechanics.

(chuckles)
I got a kick out of it.

Got my mind off work.

If I can, uh...

if I can ever repay the favor...

help you relax...

♪ I give into the forces ♪

♪ 'Cause I can't
hold my horses... ♪

♪ ♪

Nice ride.

Thought we'd head up the 101.

Oh, yeah?

You think you can keep up?

You gonna put me
through my paces?

You have no idea.

♪ Kicking up the dust ♪

- (engines start)
- ♪ Running over the canyon ♪

♪ I give into the forces ♪

♪ 'Cause I can't
hold my horses ♪

(engine revs)

♪ I can't hold my horses ♪

♪ Yeah. ♪

I'm asking every fire chief
in the state

to match that mission

for every firefighter.

Yeah... Hey, there.

That's the guy
that Sacramento promoted.

You won't see
that other guy ever again.

- That's not me. Not anymore.
- Good.

'Cause Manny and I sent that

to every fire chief
in the state.

Already got
some calls back, too.

Well, let's hope
they do more than just talk.

More than talk?
They're listening, Bode,

because of you.

Although, I'm sorry,
uh, whose idea was it

to spotlight the guys?

I... It's, I can't remember...

Whose idea? Whose?

(laughs) What?

- Yeah, Eve-Eve gave me the idea.
- No.

Yeah, she-she told me
that I-I needed to post

one social media video a week
to make up for the fact

that I screwed up
the Alumni Speaker Day.

Yeah, why are you acting
so surprised?

- I'll take all the credit.
- Yeah, whatever. It doesn't matter

who came up with the idea,
whoever he may be.

The point is, I know how much
you hate the spotlight,

but I got to tell you, man,
you crushed it,

and I'm proud of you.

EVE: Y'all, have y'all read
any of these comments?

"My body's on fire,
come help me put it out."

- (laughter)
- Wha...? Original.

- BODE: Zingy.
- My favorite. (laughs)

"Do those guns
come with a license?

'Cause your arms are
hurting me, Daddy."

- Ooh. "Daddy." (Eve laughs)
- No.

These women need Jesus.

(laughter)

BODE:
Oh, my God.

- What? What is it?
- Oh, it was just

- some crazy people.
- LUKE: What?

BODE:
Crazier than that other stuff?

No, it's just someone
accusing you

of breaking into their house,

like, ten years ago.

LUKE:
Oh, whatever. People will lie

about anything online

to attach their name
to someone high-profile.

EVE:
Exactly.

This guy's not lying.

He's telling the truth.

I never knew his name, but...

I recognize his face.

Holding up that liquor store

wasn't the only crime
I committed.

It's just the one
I got caught for.
