There you go. Tips on the strong point, Albert.

- Let's go. You got this. - Spread it off the frame.

- Let the tool do the work! - Yes!

I'm tearing it apart!

Okay. Tearing the car apart is fun,

but most of the hard work happens

- before this. - Wildland mitigation.

Defensible space inspections.

Backburns.

Yeah!

I get it.

You guys are busy.

You want to know something else?

These turnouts smell like ass.

That's years of soot, and sweat.

All right.

How much money do you need?

Okay. If we're gonna add some hands on deck,

my number might have a lot of zeros.

Stop playing footsie with me, Sharon.

I did not make my fortune in fiber optics

by beating around the bush.

Give me a number.

Okay.

Let's add a zero to that.

That's how much I like you guys.

We'll get the paperwork done up next week.

Thank you.

- Thanks so much. - You're welcome.

You're a good man.

You're welcome.

All right.

I want to show you something.

It's called the Edgewater Growth Directive.

Now, we're looking for signatures

from influential townspeople.

You're at the top of the list.

What do you say?

Can we count on your support?

Is this a data center?

It's a company called Lojia Solutions.

They're looking to set one up in Edgewater.

Those things drain water.

Spike utilities. Pollute the air.

They also bring jobs, Bode.

Community investment. The...

A working tax base.

Come on, a fire chief...

a Leone... behind this...

it would move things along.

And just so I'm clear...

if I don't sign this,

we don't get the money?

Kinda. Yeah.

Oh, for God's sake, I added a zero.

No. This... this isn't right.

You know how much money I've put into this station

- over the years? - I do.

I do. And we are very grateful.

But you never asked me for anything back.

Well, now I am.

You need this, Sharon.

You've got slow response times.

Low manpower. A financial crisis.

You're losing fans out there.

- We're gonna lose a lot more if we support this. - Bode.

No, he's right.

I'm sorry.

I... I can't get behind that.

Okay.

Mm.

Well,

when you come back, realizing your mistake...

...there won't be as many zeros.

So many different ways

you could have handled that situation, Bode.

- Like what? - Like maybe he would have backed off

the signature. Three million gone,

- left on the table. - Come on.

It seems like it was a pretty clear quid pro quo.

Sharon, Albert was our only hope for some serious funding.

All right? What the hell are we gonna do now?

We're short on crews for every call.

We need more manpower. We need...

we need money for salaries, payroll.

I can make up for the loss of manpower

with my volunteer department.

Are you serious?

- Hey. - I... No, I... I've seen

- that unit, Sharon. - Come on.

You feel like your recruits are capable?

Me and CJ wouldn't be doing this if we didn't think so.

I've heard they're pretty green.

They're solid.

In 1976,

the Edgewater Volunteer Fire Department was founded.

For decades, they answered call after call.

My grandfather...

he was part of that generation.

Yeah. Yeah, I was.

We worked hard on limited resources,

but we did get the job done.

Yeah. Well, as Station 42 expanded,

the bell went quiet.

And so, for the last 20 years,

the VFD, it's just...

- lay dormant. - Most departments teach

in months what you're gonna learn in weeks.

So pay attention, work hard.

Be aware that it's gonna get harder

before it gets any easier.

Most people spend their lives running away from danger.

You raised your hand and you

walked toward it to help this town.

How about each one of youse

tell us why you signed up, huh?

My family saves houses.

In a way.

Pest control.

Dad did it, his dad did it.

Now me.

In my spare time, I thought, "Why not?"

Let's try and save some houses in a different way.

Sometimes you'll want to quit

'cause there's a blazing fire inches from your face.

Why are you here, Milo?

'Cause if he didn't come,

I told him he'd have to pay rent.

Other times,

your bones will ache so bad you'll just want to sleep,

only to be asked to go on another call yet again.

Father Faucher,

why are you here?

I do funerals, mostly.

Hospital rooms.

A wedding, if I'm lucky.

Mostly, people come to me when it's too late.

I wanted to help out before it gets to that.

Something concrete and physical.

Uh, um, I...

lost my home

in the Zabel Ridge Fire last year.

Then I almost lost my dog

while I was living in a tent.

I didn't like any of it.

Don't want it to happen to others.

Philly. What about you?

- Me? - Yeah.

Well, a bunch of

gutless, corrupt idiots

in the City of Brotherly Love took something

that I really love and they kicked it out of me.

So...

here I am, taking it back.

Uh-oh.

Keep going.

You okay, Milo?

No, I'm not. I'm throwing up.

My dad's right, okay?

I can't hack this.

Hang in there, buddy.

You know, I was expecting some athletes,

maybe ex-military.

You mean not a priest,

pest control guy, and a 30-year-old

- who still lives at home? - No.

That sounds like the start of a bad joke.

Well, this is what we got.

And you're good with that?

No choice but to be.

That one might have something.

Who, Milo? Really? You think?

He threw up, wiped his mouth,

got back on. That's a start.

Gather up, gather up.

I got some news!

All right, I wanted to tell y'all that I am recommending

Tex here for the Extraordinary Conduct Credit

for his EpiPen heroics on Edge Cliff.

So a chunk of your time

may be lifted off your sentence.

Let's give him a round of applause.

Yeah.

Thank you, Cap.

Yo, Cap, when we getting back to work?

Ah. Funny you ask that.

So, the next bit of news

is our shot-up buggy

has been towed to 42.

- Yo, the cops let her go. - Mm-hmm.

Buggy's coming home?

Yep. But the Cal Fire mechanic shop

is backed up for months.

So it's up to us to fix it.

I ordered some tools to 42

and maybe we can get the job done.

I can handle a wrench.

I worked a garage in Modesto in high school, so...

Oh, yeah? Garage or chop shop?

I'll take the fifth.

Okay, okay, okay.

So, D.O.C. regulations say that I need

a secure vehicle in order to transport y'all.

So you want to get on incident?

Work off some of your time?

I got you.

Great. Let's get her up and running. Okay?

- All right. - That's what we're doing today!

Little early for hose evolutions.

They can handle it.

Two weeks, Bode.

I don't know.

Charging lines, stream patterns,

the pump panel.

This is another animal.

Hey. Listen up!

Listen up.

Before water moves,

nozzle calls it.

Okay?

Ready for water, line one.

Then wait.

Nobody touches a valve

until I confirm it. Clear?

All right.

Let's run it.

Run water, line one.

Water coming, line one.

Ready, line two.

Water coming, line two.

- Milo, no, no, wait! Milo! - Milo! No!

- Get out of the way! - Move it, move, move, move!

Hey, turn it off! Milo, kill line three!

Hey, look out, look out!

Hey. Hey.

Grab me that med bag now.

- Synced and corrected by actumaxime - - www.addic7ed.com -

All right, I'll call in to the ER.

Make sure he gets priority.

Three other calls across the county

and I got to deal with your crap.

Your VFD's supposed to help us,

not be a liability.

It was a communication mistake.

Yeah. You're damn right.

You're rushing your recruits, Bode.

And you're giving me another thing to worry about.

- All right, Manny, come on. - Uh...

I was trying to do something

to help with the manpower problem.

Are you? Because you just took Williams off the schedule,

giving me an even bigger manpower problem, Bode.

Tell me this. Tell me this.

What are you doing about the problem,

besides riding me?

Your recruits are incompetent, Bode.

And they're draining our resources.

And if I'm being honest with you,

I'm starting not to trust you anymore.

Hey, Chief,

- for what it's wor... - Am I talking to you?

- No, but I... - All right. I'm not.

Because it's a conversation between a firefighter

and his supervisor.

I'm the firefighter helping him with this program,

and I don't appreciate being dismissed.

I had enough of that already.

We warned the recruits about the communication protocols.

And yet this still happened.

So it's on you.

And you.

So from now on, any exercises,

Jake or me,

we'll be on site with you.

- Copy that. - So, what, we get babysitters now?

- CJ. - What? What's he gonna do?

Fire me? I'm a volunteer.

Was that necessary...

dressing Bode down like that in front of his recruits?

- You saw that fiasco, Jake. - Yeah.

And you know what, it was a mistake.

Look, Bode is doing the best he can with what he has.

We all are.

And, honestly...

...that's not my biggest concern.

The morale is.

I haven't seen it this down in years.

Those are circumstances that are out of our control, man.

No, no, no. Not entirely.

Chief, it's upon us to raise the vibe.

What do you want me to do,

throw a damn party?

Why not?

Seriously.

Look,

Mabel has been dying to drop off brisket

to thank us for saving her restaurant last year.

Listen, all I got to do is make a call.

Hell, we could even do it at Smokey's.

You 42's new social chair now?

I... I don't even know what that means,

but sure.

Order extra coleslaw.

I'm sorry that firefighter got hurt.

As far as I can tell,

the only reason that you're standing here

is to dodge paying rent.

No. It's not.

Look, I want to prove to him that I can do it.

He doesn't think much of me.

Look, he's a disaster. Obviously.

But in my experience, the disasters

that actually give a damn... those are the ones that you want

by your side.

It's the ones that shrug it off you got to worry about.

And he's not shrugging.

Are you shrugging, Milo?

Do you want to be here?

Not for your dad

or to prove him wrong. But for you.

I need to know.

Yeah.

I like the work.

A lot.

Then pay attention to the training.

- Come on. - Yeah.

Heard about the nozzle mishap at 42.

Yeah.

It was not a great look for Bode's crew.

Yeah, it's not a great look for Bode.

- Mm. - But it's not exactly the...

recruitment class of '85.

At least they had hair on their chests.

Some of the ladies, too.

What do you think I should do?

I think you should hire real firefighters.

I don't have the money.

It's just not there.

I... I don't have any options.

What did you do in the '80s when you didn't have the money?

We just lit fires.

So we showed the town how they needed us.

That's what you did? Really?

I'm just kidding, Sharon.

Oh, my God.

No, what I did was I bit the bullet

and ate the crap sandwich that I inherited.

You got to make the hard choices.

That's what you have to do, Sharon.

That's what leaders get paid to do.

You just have to do what has to be done.

You're gonna bench the volunteers, aren't you?

I don't really have a choice.

Yeah.

Damn, Cap, this buggy looks messed-up.

You telling me.

All right, let's get to work, y'all.

Gunnar, I'm gonna put you on the engine,

since you know your way around it.

But I'm gonna need you to tell me

whether or not she can ride.

- I'm on it. - Cool.

Tex and Angel,

let me put you on the bullet holes.

Need y'all to sand them down for the meshing

and the Bondo-ing, all right?

- Copy that, Cap. - Cool.

Hey, you want to sand or ding?

Give me the hammer.

Hey, uh...

I've been meaning to talk to you for a couple weeks

about what happened at Edge Cliff.

With the EpiPen.

What you mean what happened?

I'm not expecting anything.

But it just seems...

...like you've been pissed at me 'cause I helped you.

You want me to put this hammer through your face?

Yo, take it easy, bro. I'm just trying to talk to you.

Try less. I don't need no pat on the head from you.

And this little golden boy status you got going on...

don't get used to it.

Ooh. Smell that Mabel's.

My God. Thank you for doing this, Jake.

Oh. Yeah, of course.

Hey, and it looks like everyone's enjoying themselves.

And I got to admit,

- the food is damn good. - Right?

So, just to keep you informed,

I'm...

pumping the brakes on the VFD.

The... the crew is a liability.

Yeah. Uh, makes sense.

Those recruits aren't exactly ready

- right now. - What about Albert Evans?

Probably not too late to call him back.

Cash that three million dollar check.

One thing at a time.

Thanks for the invite.

Kind of surprised you got it past boss man over there.

I'm pretty sure I'm on his list.

No, no. It's me that he hates right now.

He's over there giving my mom an earful.

Bode, CJ,

unfortunately, I'm pumping the brakes on the VFD.

See?

He did get to her.

What are we talking about?

Manny put you up to this?

- Manny has nothing to do with this. - All due respect,

he has been against this unit from the beginning.

Again, this is coming from me.

Um, you guys messed up,

and he cleaned up after you.

You should be grateful.

This station needs the VFD to work.

What are you gonna do, go back to flip-flop guy?

I'm sorry.

- It's just Bode told me about him. I... - Bode,

why don't you let me worry about what the station needs.

So that's it? We're done?

It's on... This is on me.

You were right. I...

I pushed too much too fast.

I'll go tell 'em.

No, don't tell them right now.

They're having a good time.

You know what, I'll tell them.

I'll tell them later.

I'm out of here soon.

And you got to see these people every day.

Make it awkward.

42,

sorry to interrupt!

Uh, we have an incident

at Edgewater Isles Mobile Park.

Six homes on fire already.

Twenty-seven units on the property.

Mobile homes burn very fast.

We have to be faster. Let's go!

All right. Listen up, y'all.

42 reached out. There's a incident

at the Edgewater Isles Mobile Home Park,

and they need our help.

- Let's go! - Thank God. - No, no, no,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before we get all excited,

give it to me straight... can this run?

- Of course it can run. - I'm not asking you.

I'm asking the person with the engine knowledge.

Well, buggy's still ugly, but...

started an hour ago.

All right, let's start it again.

Oh, yeah.

So what's it looking like?

Radiator's blown, Cap.

She's not going anywhere.

Yo, you can't be serious.

We're so close.

Don't look at me, bro. Not my fault.

How fast can we get a new radiator?

With the D.O.C. and the Cal Fire red tape, it could take weeks.

So, what, we're stuck again?

Well, until we can get this buggy running, yeah.

Um...

I'll try to come up with a solution,

but keep working, y'all.

Sorry.

We got six homes on fire.

Hibachi grill tipped over

in a drunken fight over a double-booked pavilion.

We got smoke

on the bravo side.

Engine 1568 will size it up.

Copy that, Jake.

This is my baby girl's

birthday! You're ruining it!

Who the hell do you think you are?!

Think this is funny? Huh? Huh?!

What the hell is wrong with you, huh?!

It's fine!

I'll take your head off right now!

- Keep running your mouth! - You want more?

I'll give you more!

Yeah, you keep running your mouth, pal!

- Hey, break it up. - Hey, hey!

Both of you.

- Both of you. - I said back up.

This dumbass

just lit a hibachi at my baby girl's

- birthday party. - Okay.

Back up a little bit. Give me a little bit of space

and then we're gonna talk about it.

Is this your little girl right here? Wow.

She looks great. Come on, you don't want

to behave like this in front of her.

Hey. Where we at?

Okay, we got thin walls

- and synthetic everything. - Means these trailers

flash over and go fully involved in minutes. Let alone

- the interface. - I need everybody out of these structures ASAP

- and then a head count of the residents. - You got it.

I need to know what I can save right now, fire-wise.

Copy that, Chief. I'll have Jake map up a defensive line.

Thank you.

Captain Crawford, this is I.C.

I need you on winners and losers.

Need a clear line ASAP.

I.C., Captain Crawford.

- Can you find anyone else? - Why?

I hate that assignment, Manny.

Look, I don't like playing God with people's homes.

We have substantial extinction

on Palmer Lane.

I'm guessing from your lack of response that's a hard no?

Copy that, Captain Crawford.

Get the board.

Bode, I'm gonna put you on nozzles. We've already lost

a handful of the structures, so once Jake designates that line,

fire doesn't jump it.

Understood.

Bro!

My hundred-dollar IPA keg.

- Hey! - Everybody back!

Quick, I need you to move, let's go.

Down!

Whoa.

That would have...

Yeah.

All good.

No more beer for you.

- You good? - Yeah.

That's a hell of a save, man. Come on.

Listen, I'll make sure he gets to the ambo.

I need you on the south side of the block,

take down that porch, all right?

- Copy that. - Good work.

Let's go. You good?

Ooh! It is hot out there.

What's this?

I don't know, some delivery truck

dropped it off outside.

Came from an auto parts warehouse.

What the...

- Oh! - Is that what I think it is?

Same make and mark. I pulled some strings on the outside.

Now all we got to do is install it.

All right!

- We're back in business. - Angel.

That's a baller move.

No, no, no. That's not no baller move.

Angel, that's not your call to make.

It's not your place.

Look, how am I gonna explain this to Cal Fire?

It ain't nothing to explain.

We just put it in and don't say nothing.

No, that's not how it works around here.

- I fixed the problem. - No, it's an even bigger problem.

Look, no one touches that radiator

until I decide what we're doing with it.

- Cap... - Cap, what are you talking about?

No, no, I don't want to hear it.

- Okay, loser. - Got it.

- Loser. - Yep.

Wait.

Hold up, we might have something.

Loser.

All right, those upwind... winners, both.

I.C., Captain Crawford.

Everything east of the rigs is past saving.

Status on Drake County support?

If you want us to hold this line, we need 'em.

Captain Crawford, I.C. Bad news.

Drake County was rerouted to a 1,500-acre fire.

No one's coming.

Hey, did I hear that right? Not only are we down Three Rock,

- we can't even get Drake County now? - No.

Uh, we're getting stranded. Uh, I need some options.

How much water do we have?

About 25 minutes.

Okay. 25 minutes.

What did that firefighter mean, "east of the rigs"?

Uh, I need you guys

to step back behind that truck, for your safety.

Did-did... did we hear him right?

You're not gonna save our home?

Captain Crawford is making hard choices in real time.

What does that mean, hard choices in real time?

Do you know how long we saved to buy that home?

Where is your home?

Over there, on the other side.

Okay. Your structure

is downwind. I wish I had better choices.

It's not a structure, it's our home.

Okay. I'm so sorry. Hey.

Uh... Hi. Come back.

You make such a good cheerleader.

I know. I used to be one when I was a kid,

but you can't go any further, it's not safe.

But my cheerleading medal... it's in my house.

- I... I'm so sorry. - It's okay.

Listen. We can't go back, but you were right.

I was wrong, um...

It's not a structure, it's your family home,

and everything you own is there, and your life.

But the most important thing right now

is that you're all together, and you're safe, okay?

Please stay back.

I need another water source!

Crum Creek. I used to fish there.

It's, like, 400 yards east of here.

Without Three Rock, we don't have enough manpower

for a hose lay that long.

Use my recruits.

We can run the lay to the creek, pump that water.

- They just learned the drill. - Was that before

or after they sent Williams to the ER?

- Manny. - You're too focused on a mistake, Manny.

- You got to move past it. - You want me to move past it?

I'm your damn battalion chief, Bode.

I understand.

But my crew can do this.

They can be here in ten minutes.

All right? Run the lay,

get us water in 20.

Look,

they weren't the problem like you think they were.

I was.

I wasn't leading them right.

I expected too much too soon.

Let me fix this.

Call your crew, Bode.

Hey, guys. Thanks for sticking around.

Thank you so much for the meal.

Um...

So, listen, Bode wanted to be here for this,

but he's on incident, obviously.

What's going on? Is everything okay?

Look, I'm not gonna stand here and blow smoke.

Couple of weeks ago, I had you all pinned to wash out

at, like, day three, but, uh...

...you didn't, annoyingly.

You, uh...

showed a lot of grit

and determination and, um...

But?

It says here, "All hands on deck

for an incident at Edgewater Isles."

- Does this mean... - Yeah, uh,

we're on incident.

What? Yes!

- Yeah! - Listen.

Heads down, ears open.

You freelance out there, you're gonna bury somebody.

Probably yourself.

So let's do this.

Meet at the station in five. Go.

Go, go, go.

Unit's lost! Move to the north end of the park!

- Copy that, Chief. - Not much water left.

- Where's your crew, Bode? - They should be here any second.

I just marked the draft location

- and flagged the path. - Okay.

Okay. Who's this?

All right, listen up, VFD.

Got to move fast.

42 has its hands full with this fire,

so it's on us to get water before the rigs run dry.

Okay, we're gonna drop a pump in the creek,

lay a supply line to staging.

All right, CJ's gonna lead you.

How much water's left in the rigs?

- Five minutes, tops. - Cutting it close.

- Just find a way. - Okay. Where's the water source?

Crum Creek. Great fishing spot.

I know where it is. Follow me.

Look, this isn't training anymore, all right?

You guys are doing this way before you're ready,

but I believe in you.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Milo, on me.

Yeah, you want me to sit this one out.

No. No, I want to make sure that you were paying attention

this morning.

Lead line, right? The pump coupling.

Walk me through it. Go.

Okay. Seat the gasket, hand-tight.

Don't force the threads.

Keep the intake airtight

or the pump pulls air instead of water.

Good. All right.

Look, this is an important job.

Okay? It's yours right now.

So, prove to me that keeping you was the right move.

You wanted to talk?

Yeah, sit down.

Let's talk about the radiator.

Hmm.

Angel, you can't pull strings like that, man.

It undermines my authority,

it messes with the integrity of this place

and... it just-it just sends the wrong message to people.

Alls I know, Cap...

I fixed the problem.

This is the outgoing call log

for the past 24 hours.

Every inmate here has a code that they have to punch in

in order to make it work.

Remind me of your code?

- 1286. - 1286.

Do you see 1286 there?

So what does that mean?

That you didn't

use the pay phone

to get the radiator, or...

You asking me a question?

- Do you have a burner on you? - No.

So that's the move you're gonna make.

You're gonna lie to me?

Okay.

Seated and secure.

Aw, damn it.

Screwing up!

Hand-tight. Don't force it.

Elsa? Elsa?

Elsa! Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

- What's the matter? - Oh, God. Oh, God.

I turned around for a second

and she disappeared! Oh, God. Oh, God, is she...

Do you think she's in the trailer? Did she go back?

- Maybe for her medal. - Okay.

Oh, God, is she in there?

- It's on fire! - Which one is it?

Single-wide. Lightweight construction.

Yeah, that thing's about to flash

any moment. I got to go in there.

Jake, I need you on a hose on the delta side

of these units or the whole park goes up.

Hey, I'll do it.

I'll carve a path, avoid the hot spots and smoke.

- All right, you're up. - All right.

Be careful, Bode.

Elsa! Elsa!

Help!

Elsa!

Help!

Elsa, can you hear me?

Help!

Elsa!

I'm Bode. I'm a firefighter. I'm gonna help

get you out of there, okay? We're gonna do this together.

- All right? - Sorry I came back for the medal.

It's okay.

Hey, I need you to get inside the tub, okay?

I'm gonna cut a hole through this wall.

- Can you do that for me? - I... I think so.

Okay.

Okay, coming through!

Is he with her? I... Is she safe?

Firefighter Leone, I.C. Do you have eyes on Elsa?

Yeah.

I.C., Firefighter Leone. Affirmative.

Okay, Bode, you're running out of time.

Tanker's almost out of water.

Copy, Chief.

Got fire on three sides.

CJ, where's my hose lay? This rig's about to dry up.

Yeah, we're close.

Well, make it closer.

We're on it.

How we looking, Jake?

We're out.

Elsa.

Come on, star cheerleader.

We're gonna get you out, okay? Just hold on to me.

We're gonna go out through the hole that I made, all right?

Here we go.

It's elevated. There's got to be a crawl space.

Hey, Elsa, come here.

Listen, just tuck right here, okay?

Behind this door, right?

Cover your eyes, cover your face, okay?

All right, Elsa, come on.

Hey. Come-come to me, all right? I'll bring you in here.

Okay. Here.

Hey, you get on my back, okay?

Crawl on my back.

Way up there, and hold on tight, okay?

Bode, my medal.

Hey, hey, hold on to me. You can't go back.

You got to leave it.

We're almost there, Elsa.

I.C., Firefighter Leone.

We're in the crawl space below the unit, surrounded by flames.

I need an egress water hole,

on the alpha side, delta corner.

Copy, Bode. Seconds away.

Come on, CJ. Come on.

Okay, I need a charged hose.

Water, water!

Ready for water!

Line one!

Hold on, Elsa.

What's happening, people?

- What's happening? - What's happening?

- Is it coming? - Air leak on the intake!

- Air leak in the intake! - Come on, Milo.

I'm gonna prime it again.

Water's coming!

- Water's coming! - Water coming.

Hang on, Bode!

Coming, coming.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on.

- He's doing it. Yes, yes. - They did good, they did good.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

She's a tough cookie. Very brave.

Oh, my God.

Thank you so much.

You getting anything?

Uh, no. No, it's reading cold. Whole row.

No hot spots.

Good work today, my guy.

Yeah, well, we lost a lot of homes.

Yeah, but we saved a lot, too.

Not enough, Manny.

Look, I...

I guess I was just hoping for a little joy today.

I really don't like choosing winners and losers.

I know.

But you know what?

You did your

damn job today, and nobody got hurt.

Tell you what, why don't we head down to Smokey's later, huh?

Blow off a little bit of steam.

No. No, I don't think I'm feeling it.

Come on. Consider it an order.

No, we're not, Bode.

And it's my fault.

I came in way too hot this morning.

You know, I'm just carrying around so much...

stuff.

My nephew being at Three Rock

and staffing issues, and I just...

I took it all out on you.

I'm sorry.

Truth is I got to stop seeing you

as a mentee,

more as an equal.

'Cause you're a leader.

And you're running your own crew now.

You got to be able to make your calls.

Calling them a crew?

Yes, I am.

They showed a lot of heart out there today.

VFD came in clutch today.

They sure did. I was wrong about them.

I was thinking, um,

you should keep pushing ahead,

pull the handbrake off. Just be careful.

They're gonna be thrilled to hear this.

What about this guy?

Albert Evans. What about him?

You still think I should call him?

It's a hell of a lot of money.

And we're drowning. And frankly, it would

solve a lot of our problems.

You gonna try and go find him?

No, I'm gonna try and find

a little girl's medal.

God.

Wow, look at y'all.

What a beautiful crowd out here tonight.

Well, y'all always bring the vibes,

and I got to tell y'all, there's no place like playing here

at Smokey's, so...

This next song is called "American Reject."

Check it out.

Let's go!

♪ I'm a real cowgirl ♪

♪ Baby, I just want to see your eyes... ♪

Hey, congrats.

Your VFD really pulled through today.

Our VFD.

- Yeah, is it ours? - Mm-hmm.

All right, well, then I got to say something.

Next time I throw up a flag on the play,

like telling you it's too early for hose evolutions,

just listen to me.

Okay? I'm on your side.

- Fair enough. - All right.

You know, um...

...couple weeks ago, when-when my, uh...

my nonno asked the recruits why they volunteered.

I didn't give an answer.

Not because I didn't have one.

Because there was a...

...there was a word that

I didn't want to say out loud.

Helpless.

With this town, with...

the fires, 42.

My nonno.

Watching his mind go.

Yeah, I hear you.

So, look... you assembled

a small army of people

that all feel that way sometimes.

So...

now we can do something about it.

Uh, coming.

- Hey. - Hey.

Uh, I'm sorry to bother you. I, um...

No, no, it's okay.

What's wrong?

Uh, look, I hate going behind Manny's back about this,

but I don't think he's clearheaded.

Angel used a burner to get the radiator.

- Did he cop to it? - No.

And I have no idea what to do.

Like, do I cut him for the contraband

even though I can't prove it?

Do I send the radiator back,

and then I sideline Three Rock for weeks?

What do you think I should do?

Sometimes I think a leader

just has to find a way...

...to do what has to be done.

The most important thing is you got Three Rock working again.

Yeah. I mean, Angel

used his dad to get that radiator.

Thank you for hearing me out.

Yeah.
