- Previously on Fire Country... - We're looking

- for signatures. - Is this a data center?

They're looking to set one up in Edgewater.

If I don't sign this, we don't get the money?

- Kinda, yeah. - Albert was our only

hope for some serious funding.

What in the hell were you thinking?

You took $800,000 from a burnt-out RV?

I have a plan.

There's an anonymous donation

in the works for 42,

and it's a big one.

- Is this seat taken? - No way.

Mason Ellis. Shortstop for the Phillies.

What are you doing in Edgewater?

It's my hometown.

I guess I know more about your professional life

- than your personal life. - Well,

maybe we can change that.

There we are, district finals,

bottom of the seventh.

Two outs, man in scoring position,

second base.

Boom. Right there.

Their best hitter is up.

I paint the outside corner.

Uh... uh... paint the out...? No.

No, no, you hang a curve.

- I did not hang a curve. Bode. - Bode.

- You didn't on that one. - Thank you.

It was up there.

The kid smokes it to third, where Bode

- hot-gloves it. - From my knees.

Thank you. And then

he fires off to me at first base.

Game over. Oh,

and you're welcome. You made it to the MLB.

Every time you tell that story, I do less.

Yeah, well, you know, in a few years,

you won't even be in it, so...

All right.

So what's the play, 3B?

'Cause I know you didn't call me after 15 years

to talk about my arm.

So, I, um...

I'm running the volunteer fire department now.

We just launched a month ago.

The problem is that

we're crammed right now in this little corner

of the station, and my mom is breathing

down my neck about space.

Now, I know that your family's

got that garage sitting empty

out at the paper mill.

I thought maybe

that could be our volunteer firehouse.

Man, I wish.

But I'm renovating the mill. The whole property.

Uh, we broke ground three weeks ago.

Bode...

let me come by 42 tomorrow.

You show me exactly what you need,

we'll figure something out.

- Yeah? - Yes. Of course.

I want this town to win just as bad as you do.

♪ Then maybe was it you and I...♪

Which means...

I gotta fix your music situation.

Uh, no. Hey, no-no Coldplay.

Just one song.

Hey.

Listen, reaching out to Mason, B?

That was a good call.

He's gonna come through.

- You look familiar. - You don't.

Mm.

Okay.

Is that what we're doing?

Pretending like we don't know each other?

We don't. Not here.

I do not need my new coworkers

all up in my sex life.

Separation of church and state.

- Exactly. - Yeah?

Oh! Get back!

Get back.

Is he all right?

Hey, is everyone okay?

- Yep. - If that was a short,

the breaker should have tripped.

Let me go check the panel.

- You need anything? - Eh... we're good.

Well, I think my work here is done.

I'm gonna go home, get my solid eight hours.

Good night, stranger.

You're so lucky I was here.

Don't I know it?

Hey, CJ.

Don't be late tomorrow.

Never am.

Your alarm clock is blinking. What time is it?

Oh, the power must have gone out.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Ah! Gah. I was supposed

to be at 42 20 minutes ago.

See, this?

This is church

getting in the way of state.

No, this is Edgewater's got a power grid

that's 50 years too old.

Half the reason I came home was to fix stuff like this.

- Oh, is that right? - Yeah. Next stop's 42.

I'm actually meeting Bode over there in a little bit

to check out your VFD setup.

- Are you kidding? - Mm-mm.

Oh, my God.

- Could this town get any smaller? - Yeah.

You-you should get out of it.

Maybe go have dinner with me.

That sounds like a date.

Well, that's only...

because I'm asking you on one.

Mason...

I like it here.

Right? It's uncomplicated.

Dating a guy that knows

half my new fire station

is complicated.

So we head out to Drake County,

which, of course, is neutral territory.

Problem solved.

Sor-Sorry to interrupt. Um...

I'm looking for Chief Leone.

Uh, yeah, man,

she's actually off duty today.

- Something I can help you with? - Yeah, I-I read about the

big donation.

Got me thinking.

You know, my money is just sitting in a bank.

I thought maybe it could do some good around here.

Wow.

Look at that.

Good deeds are contagious.

Thank you. Uh, listen, she's going to be back

a little bit later, but if you want to catch her now,

she's over at Smokey's.

Donors drink for free.

I like the sound of that.

Thank you.

- Yeah, man. Thank you. - Yeah.

Good morning to you, too.

I am sorry I'm late, Chief.

I apologize.

15 minutes early, actually.

Well, on our first day? That's late.

I think you and I are gonna get along just fine.

Look...

I know that we had some friction

when you and Bode were trying

to get the VFD off the ground, but, uh...

...I've seen your work,

and you do belong here.

So I'm hoping that it could be a clean slate.

Clean slate.

- All right. - Thanks, Chief.

Yeah. Welcome.

Hey. Baseball fan?

Ah, you know,

- more of a Mason Ellis fan. - Oh, really?

Wait, I'm lost.

Oh, well, let me explain.

Uh, last night,

I saw her and him at Smokey's.

Well, you know, the jukebox, it was not the only thing sparking.

Really?

- All right. - Mm-hmm. Yeah--

Actually, I did see her get in his car.

I gotta go. I'm out. I'm out. I can't hear it.

What is this,

- some first-day firehouse hazing? - Hey.

You know what? Consider yourself lucky.

'Cause at other houses,

ooh, you would get it a lot worse.

Okay, hey,

look, don't be like that.

You know what?

Hazing actually is known to build camaraderie.

- Oh, camaraderie. - Huh.

You want camaraderie?

Yeah. I'll give you some camaraderie.

- Yeah, Mason and I? - Mm.

Yeah, I'm hitting that.

Yeah, that's right.

And last night,

we rounded every base

multiple times.

- Mm-mm. - What's the matter, Cap?

You don't like the stats?

Lucky him.

You and-and CJ are dating?

You know, I don't think I'm allowed to answer that.

Hello. Good morning.

Were you gonna show me the, um...

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah, I will. - Okay.

- Hey, Mace. - Hey, Jake. Hey.

Oh, that just happened. Okay.

You're keeping that?

Well, you know what, Crawford?

Very quickly learning that there is no such thing

as privacy around here. So...

Yeah.

Might as well own it.

♪ Dancing in shadows ♪

♪ Dying in the light... ♪

Do a little bit of... bam!

My way of saying

thank you.

You really didn't have to.

I mean, with the radiator and the investigation,

I should probably be cooking for you.

Well, Cal Fire let me off with a warning,

so we're good.

Here's the real question. Do I get

12 regular laptops

- or eight with big screens? - Oh.

We are buying computers at breakfast.

Damn right I am.

Thanks to you, Three Rock has a tech budget, so...

All I did was kick some of that donation money your way.

Well, then, who do I thank?

I don't know, but CJ starts today.

And three on another shift.

And laptops for your guys.

You know, it really feels like,

for the first time in a while, we can breathe.

Cheers to that.

Mmm. Mmm!

And to toast.

Here we go.

This is what I'm thinking

with the laptops: it's gonna be the first phase,

okay? The GED prep.

- Then we're gonna get into college courses. - Eve...

- What? - You're cooking me this

to thank me for helping your guys

on your day off.

Name one thing in your life

that's not 42 or Three Rock.

One thing that you do for just you.

Um...

Is that normal?

Uh, no, it-- Oh!

No, it is not.

Okay. Um... it's an electrical fire.

Hey, Sharon, can you get to the panel?

Okay, let's go. Let's go.

Out that way. Go, go, go, go, go.

Oh. Oh. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

We're with Cal Fire!

Leave everything! Take the stairs.

Be careful!

Hey, Gladys! Gladys!

- You okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.

Okay. It feels like a power surge, yeah?

Oh!

Okay, can we get everybody outside

- and do a head count? - Yeah. Okay, everybody! Let's go.

- Keep going. - Thomas...

- Keep going. Okay. - Thomas.

- Thomas, what happened? - The-the outlet.

I-I tried to unplug it.

Okay, so what I need you to do is keep it open

and hold it up, all right?

We're gonna make sure you get taken care of.

All right? Go ahead and go downstairs.

My apartment...

- Oh! - Oh, whoa.

No, look, there's a--

there's a fire extinguisher under the sink,

and I can knock it down. I can knock it down.

I'm really sorry. This fire is past the can.

I need you to shut that door.

I need you to contain it until the hoses get here.

Come on. We have people to get out of here.

This is it?

Yeah, this is everything the VFD's got.

It'll live here till we find a home.

Well, for starters,

I'm gonna buy you some new equipment.

- For starters? - Yeah.

I'm gonna build you your VFD hall.

- Seriously? - I told you, bro.

We want the same thing. Only difference is,

the Phillies paid me

way too much money to hit a damn ball.

Let's put it to work.

Thank you, Mason.

Yeah, of course.

I gotta run,

but I'll call my realtor today.

I've had my eye on a vacant lot.

If it's still available,

it would be perfect.

- Ah, our boy works fast. - Yeah.

Well, when I want something, I move on it.

That's what I'm talking about.

Congratulations, man.

- Is he always like this? - Mason?

Yeah, pretty much.

- Whew. - Mm-hmm. Catch your breath.

Seems like you really like the guy.

Maybe I do.

Aw...

Station 42, structure fire.

2288 Willowbrook Drive.

Hey, that's Eve's place.

All right. Multiple people are still trapped.

Fire cut them off before they could evac.

Eve's building-- fried.

Last night at Smokey's-- the jukebox.

And I checked the panel.

The breaker never tripped.

Mason's alarm clock.

Yeah, it reset. The power went off

at some point overnight, too.

Okay, that... that's

three corners of Edgewater at the same time.

Th-That could be the grid.

Yeah, something's pulling harder than it can handle,

- causing a power surge. - All right, guys,

theories later. We're 60 seconds out.

All right, Chief, well,

which one do we hit first?

All of it.

That's what a full crew gets you.

Please, someone help!

Please hurry!

All right.

Help us, please!

Baby's crying. Airway's open.

My husband, he can't breathe!

Husband looks like he's fading.

Yeah. All right.

Husband first.

Throw the ladder. Third floor!

You got it.

Please hurry!

On three.

- Ma'am, what's your name? - Victoria.

This is Roman.

Okay, Victoria, stay at the window.

Keep his face in the clean air. We're coming for you.

Steven!

He's not breathing!

Patient's unconscious.

They're gonna give you something for the pain

when you get to Edge Med.

- Thank you. - Welcome.

Thanks, guys.

Hey, so what's going on?

Bob's fine. Dog's out, too.

- Okay. And 3B? - Uh... uh...

Safe, safe. Martha's right over there.

3C?

Uh...

Ray?

Well, I-I knocked and nobody was home.

Uh, maybe he's at work.

Well, there's his truck, so Ray's home.

- Um, I gotta get up there. - All right, I will send Manny

- to meet you inside. - Okay.

Ray, it's Eve. Can you hear me?

Cal Fire! Call out!

- I can't open the door. - Force it.

- I'm over here. - Ray!

Eve, help me.

Yeah, we got you, bud.

What happened, Ray?

I-It jammed, then power went out.

Thought it was dead, so I reached in and...

my ring caught.

I.C., I.S.O.

We need power to this building secured now.

Bode's up. All right, you're inside

with Bode. Patient goes feet-first out the window.

You feed him to me,

I'll bring him down the ladder. Heel it.

Got it.

Ready?

Move!

On me. Ready?

One, two, three.

I got him. I got him.

Coming down.

Victoria!

Get low.

Keep Roman below the smoke.

She's out of air. We need this ladder.

Yeah. Yeah, 60 seconds out.

She doesn't have 60.

Ray. Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray.

Don't pull it. You pull it, you lose it.

The power won't stop surging.

Hey, Manny?

The garbage disposal is hardwired.

Those wires are still live, so be careful.

I-I'll manually need to kill it.

Shut your eyes, Ray.

Here we go.

- Eve, you good? - I'm good.

I'm good. We're good.

H-Hey, hey, hey.

Stay with me, stay with me.

I'm fine.

Pulse is fast and thready. We need a tourniquet.

If this extrication runs long,

that tourniquet is gonna cost him his hand.

And if we wait, it could cost him his life.

Manny...

W-Whoa-- please, please.

You got to save my hands.

- Hey, Edgewater Automotive, right? - Yeah.

You're the El Camino guy, huh?

Yeah, that's right, man.

You rebuilt my transmission for me.

The cars, they pay the bills.

But it's not the only reason why I need my hand.

See that table? That chair?

I restore furniture.

Nights...

...weekends.

That's how I met my wife.

How I found my people. I-I can't lose it.

All right, here's the deal.

We stage the tourniquet, we work fast.

First sign that your pressure drops,

we tighten it.

No questions, no conversations.

Copy.

Pulse tachy.

I need medics, Charlie side.

Adult male, unconscious, heavy smoke exposure.

You have to get him out of here!

My baby's choking. Please!

Kill the ladder.

Yep, you got it.

Victoria.

I need you to drop Roman.

Victoria, listen to me. I need you to drop your baby.

- Please... - It's gonna be okay.

- I can't. - Yes, you can...

- No, I can't, - ...because I will catch him.

Yes, you can.

Listen to me.

Lower him out the window as far as you can.

Yeah, that's good.

And when I give the sign,

you're gonna drop him, okay?

Now!

He's safe.

Oh...

Okay, Victoria, you're next.

Get low. Ladder's coming.

Damn brackets are seized.

Come on.

I got it.

Pull them out.

There we are. There we go. There we go.

Okay. All right.

Your hand's gonna make it.

Okay. And bring it around.

Nice. There we go.

All right.

Here we go. Okay.

Okay. Here we are.

Now we do-- oh.

- Hey. Ray, Ray, Ray. - Oh. Oh, the-the disposal

was staunching the bleed.

He's crashing.

Tourniquet applied at 10:52.

- Okay, let's get him down. Get him down. - Got it. Yep.

- Radio. - Yep. Here you go.

I.C., I.S.O.

Extrication's complete.

Patient is unconscious. Arterial bleed.

- We'll be coming out the Alpha side. - Okay.

- Get up there. - Yeah.

Hey, Victoria.

Hey, you got this. Eyes on me.

One leg over the edge.

- Okay. - Okay?

There you go.

- CJ, look out! - Get down, Victoria!

CJ!

You good?

- Are you okay? - Yes.

We're good.

Coming down.

All right, come on.

Nice and easy.

Come on. Go see your boy.

Good job.

- Good work, B. - Let's go check in.

You hang in there, Ray.

You hear me?

Hang in there.

Everybody's accounted for,

fire's under control,

multiple emergencies covered at once.

That's what a full crew can do.

- Anything from the power company? - They said

the grid got hit this morning, and this building is old

and it took it the hardest.

Uh, hit by what?

Funny, they wouldn't tell me.

Said they were bound by an NDA.

- What? - Wait, I've never heard of a utility

being barred from speaking because of an NDA,

let alone refusing to speak to Cal Fire.

- What's that all about? - I don't know.

Did you guys have any other electrical problems,

besides today, like any breakers getting tripped

or lights flickering?

Fuses started blowing three weeks ago.

- Couldn't figure out why. - Well, that just means

that something new is pulling hard off this grid.

What's been going on around here lately? You guys know?

Like, any new construction or anything like that?

The paper mill.

Mason said they broke ground three weeks ago.

It's only a mile from here.

Yeah, new machinery may be pulling more power

than the grid can handle.

Everything downstream pays for it.

Mason probably doesn't even know.

Hey, talk to him. Take my truck.

- Can I help you? - Yeah.

Bode Leone and Jake Crawford.

We're friends of Mason Ellis.

Bode Leone? Jake Crawford?

You're cleared.

Cleared?

Cleared for what?

Hey.

Bode, Jake.

What is this?

I was gonna tell you guys.

It's a data center.

Gentlemen.

You're working with him?

- You know Albert? - Yeah, he came by last month.

He wanted 42 to back a data center in Edgewater.

We said no.

So, you found someone who'd say yes.

I just found someone who gets it.

Bode, listen.

This replaces what Edgewater lost when timber went bust.

When companies like my family's paper mill died.

- This is a good thing. - All the power that you're pulling

just torched Eve Edwards's apartment building.

There's a baby with smoke inhalation,

one man is in critical condition.

What?

Yeah.

You said the load was to spec.

It was. The power company approved it.

Look, I just talked to them.

It was their equipment that failed.

Because you hid what you were plugging into it.

Made them all sign NDAs.

This grid's 100 years old.

The county can't afford to modernize,

which is exactly why Edgewater

needs the revenue we're bringing.

Those are

cooling pipes.

You're tapping the municipal main.

It's all fully permitted.

That's the same water

that our hydrants pull from.

Peak fire season,

and this thing will drink the town dry.

Now you're being hyperbolic.

Then let me put it plain.

We're gonna shut you down.

- Is that what you think? - Okay. Whoa, let's just

- take a breath. Albert-- - You don't have the authority.

And we come on line in less than four weeks.

So, threaten us all you like,

but this thing's happening.

Can you escort these men out, please?

This isn't over.

Bode...

I'm trying to give this town a future.

Tell that to Eve.

So, his family's paper mill is...

Is being turned into a data center.

I said no to all that money,

and they're gonna build one anyway?

With Mason's help.

Look, I-I don't know.

I mean, maybe we hear him out.

I'm hoping you will.

Well, that's the second time I've walked in

on people talking about me today.

I'm sorry.

For earlier.

And for not being straight about what I've been working on.

Excuse me.

Lojia Solutions is covering every single resident

at that apartment.

Damages. Everything.

This one's Eve's.

I'll make sure she gets this.

As promised, I already put in an offer.

This is the listing.

It's a two-acre, center of town.

My architect's drawing up the plans.

If it's okay with you, I thought

we'd name it the Walter Leone VFD Hall.

What is this, a bribe?

You want us to turn our backs while you try to ruin Edgewater?

It's not a bribe, Bode.

You're-you're running the VFD

on secondhand tools and generosity.

Lojia has money for schools, housing.

This VFD hall.

You know that the people almost died today.

People from our community.

People that you grew up with, bro.

We screwed up.

We'll answer for it.

But this data center,

big tech...

it's coming.

We don't protect Edgewater

by pretending this isn't happening.

Work with me.

Make sure that this gets built the right way.

I'm not interested.

My grandfather spent 30 years protecting this town.

Last thing he would want is his name on a building

paid for by people who want to destroy it.

Hey. We went back

and got some of your stuff.

Yeah, and, uh, also, Camille called.

Ray's stable.

They were able to save his arm and most of his hand.

Cast-iron made it.

This scarf?

It, like, barely smells like smoke.

Mm, the frame's a little beat-up,

but the picture's intact.

Yeah. I don't want it.

- Why? - No, I know what you're doing.

I know what the both of you are doing.

You're trying to triage me like I'm some damn patient,

and I don't-- I-I need you to just stop.

- Eve, we're just... - No. No.

No, no. Manny,

Ray had a whole apartment full of life.

He had friends, a wife

and a hobby that wasn't work.

And this?

This is my life, man.

That's all I had to lose.

So, I just...

I need to take a walk.

Oh, man.

I used to have her job.

You know, you spend every day

trying to help those guys imagine a future for themselves.

And?

Ah, I'm just saying...

it's easy to stop imagining your own.

Mm.

Okay, look, we've known the guy

since we were ten years old, Bode.

We even played Little League together.

Yeah. After he went pro,

how many times did he come back? Huh?

Fires, floods,

the mill dying.

Where was Mason?

This is still his home.

Look, and if he thinks he can help, then...

...Bode, I trust him.

NDAs with the power company.

I mean, n-neighbors blowing fuses for weeks.

There's a guy in the ICU tonight, Jake.

- That's the guy you trust? - No. Okay? No. That...

I trust the guy that came here,

owned it

and then came to us for help to make it better.

Look, you heard Albert. Four weeks.

And then they flip the switch.

Lojia, they have the money, the permits.

- Hell, they have everything. - And so what?

So what? We're supposed to just take this payoff

- and just shut up? - No.

No, no, no. We take a seat at the table.

Make sure it gets done responsibly.

You two sound delusional.

I'm being realistic.

You sound delusional, Bode,

thinking you can stop any of this.

Other towns have stopped data centers mid-build.

Took months. Injunctions,

armies of lawyers.

None of which we have.

Maybe Jake was right.

Maybe there's nothing we can do.

Four years ago, you were in a cell.

And then you got a chance at Three Rock

and you made it all the way to a position at 42.

Now we have a volunteer fire department

'cause you thought we needed one.

Somebody told you no at every turn.

So, don't tell me what you can't do.

You look rested.

You always know what to say.

Well, uh, this kept me up.

It's kind of hard to hate a number this big

when you're sleeping in a bunk.

One second.

Okay.

Hey, Gladys.

Eve. Help.

Where are you, Gladys?

Home.

Gladys?

Gladys?

Gladys.

Gladys.

I had a little fall.

Got a compound fracture, tib fib.

Eyes on me. What are you doing back here?

My son's things.

I-I couldn't... I couldn't just leave them.

Hey, Gladys.

How long you been down here?

Maybe five hours.

I-I think I blacked out.

She's barely moving air.

The smoke from yesterday?

It's catching up to her.

Eve, honey?

I can't breathe...

I-I can't...

Bronchospasm.

O2 with neb, now.

I'm gonna take your head.

Just keep breathing.

Keep breathing. Here, hold on to me.

There you go. Keep holding on.

Just try to breathe in.

- Uh-uh. - Keep breathing. No?

No?

She can't pull any in.

Her sats are dropping.

Inline the neb with CPAP.

Gladys, stay with me.

This thing right here, it's gonna,

it's gonna force air into your lungs.

I need you to try your best not to fight it.

I got you. Here we go.

Here you go. Don't fight it, don't fight it.

Just look at me. Look at me.

Okay, you need to breathe with it.

Breathe with it, okay?

There you go. Don't fight it.

Air's, air's moving.

There she is.

All right.

Keep holding onto that, Gladys.

This what you came back here for?

Okay, well,

next time, I need you to call me.

Because sneaking into a red-tagged building

could have nearly got you killed.

Okay? 'Cause the wiring needs to go through inspection

and the alarms need recertifying.

Fire has to sign off.

Mason changed the mill's occupancy use.

If they never got it cleared to be a data center...

I know how to stop this.

Hey.

So glad you called.

No coffee?

Yeah, no, this isn't gonna take long.

I really like you.

Which is why this is so annoying.

Because I really thought...

...that this could work.

It still can.

It still can.

I caught a baby yesterday.

Apartment was on fire, his mom was out of options,

and so she dropped him

out the window and I caught him.

- That's amazing. - No, it's not.

I had to catch that baby because of you.

I couldn't feel worse about what happened.

We're on opposite sides, Mason.

You're building a data center.

It sucks the most water on the hottest days.

When I'm out there fighting fires.

So...

I can't have dinner with you.

Coming.

Hey, I just wanted to...

Oh. Now I feel like even more of a jerk.

- Oh. Come in. - No,

I'm sorry, Sharon. I...

I know you were just trying to help.

- I... - No, I'm sorry.

I-I should have asked what you needed

instead of assuming for you.

I mean, truly, I didn't really know what I needed,

but, um...

...I did decide to keep this.

Good.

- Good? - Yeah. They burned down your house.

You have every right to cash that check.

Yeah, well, the thing is,

is that I don't know if I want to rebuild what I had.

Like, I want to put this towards something less small,

but I just don't know what that is.

Work has taken up so much space in my life

that I'm like... I-I never...

Well, what's-what's something that you want?

Honestly?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, there's this house

that's just off of Route 9, and...

...and it's, like, a cute little house,

and it has citrus trees,

and th-- and there's even enough room for me

to, like, have a big garden out in the front.

And the owner said that he'll sell it to me,

but I, like, text him every six months

asking for more time, 'cause...

Is that enough for a down payment?

Not even close.

But it's-it's something.

Well...

What?

Why don't you move in with me?

You know, save your money for the little house,

stay as long as you like.

So, like...

I'm gonna be roomies with the chief?

Chief's your roommate.

Aww.

Thank you.

Of course this is you.

You converted the mill without clearing the change of use.

Sprinklers were never updated.

No approved suppression system for the server floors.

Until all that gets fixed, construction's halted.

Now, this buys you, what, a few weeks?

We'll be up to code by the end of the month.

It's all the time I need right now.

You know, the, uh...

...volunteer firehouse, putting my grandfather's name on it?

Your offer meant something.

You should know that.

I'd rather have you as an ally

than an enemy, Bode.

Me, too, man.

Damn shame.

See, Bode, that's what I'm talking about.

Remember this morning, you were all, like, hunched up

on your laptop, telling your mom, my new roommate...

Mwah. Love you.

...that there was nothing you could do.

This just buys a month.

Enough time to force a town hall

and get everything in front of the community,

see if Edgewater will stand up with me.

- They will. - Yeah,

and you got all of 42 behind you, bro.

I think you're good.

They're gonna give you hell,

but you're not doing it alone.

Unlike me, who is down a line cook.

Wish me luck.

Hey, Manny. Let's play

some darts, best of three.

Bro, you just lost the last four.

- That didn't count. Come on. Let's go. - She...

All right.

I broke it off with Mason.

How you doing?

Bummed.

That's the stupid part.

I really liked him.

Yeah, so did I.

Still do.

You need a cheesesteak.

I do need a cheesesteak, but Bode,

unless we are standing in Philadelphia,

it's just a steak sandwich.

Whatever you say.

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

You know what I was, uh, I was looking at today?

You remember when Coach benched Bode for a game that season?

Man, kid spent the whole thing

combing through the rule book looking for grounds to appeal.

He found some, too.

Yeah, of course he did.

But you're the guy that got Coach to listen.

It's been the same play for 20 years, Jake.

Bode digs in, you stay steady.

Reasonable.

All right. Uh...

What is this, Mason? What, did you call me

just to relive Little League?

I called...

...because I need that guy in the room with me.

Nothing full-time.

You know, you stay at 42. Just a little consulting.

Fire safety, emergency planning.

Jake...

I hope Bode comes around.

I mean that. You know I mean that.

But he is fighting to bring the past back.

Some of us-- you and Violet--

are building a future.

Maybe a family.

Yeah, we've talked about it.

So, this is the Edgewater that they'll inherit.

Help me get it right.

Okay, look, it-- This isn't me saying yes.

But let me see those plans.

Damn it, Manny.

Hey.

You made it.

- Took your advice. - I'm glad you did.

Chief Leone's right over there.

And hey, don't forget your free beverage.

Oh, I won't.

Hey. What can I get for you?

I'll take a bourbon, neat.

Okay.

Anything else?

Uh, just-just one more thing.

I...

I-I am thinking that I might be your anonymous donor.

I don't know what you mean.

The money that went missing from the trailer park fire.

It was mine.

And I'd like it back.
