Previously on Fire Country
RICHARDS: Maybe there's someone
here who can take over as chief.
Maybe that person is standing
in front of me right now.
Sir, I would be honored.
I haven't slept alone
in this house in 33 years.
Well, what if Bode came
and stayed for a while?
- I don't want to put it on him.
- I'll do it. Seriously.
We can't have the D.C.
running on empty, right?
"I have Sharon's number.
I will use it."
Renée?
What the hell is this?
I just had a feeling
that something was wrong,
so I dug through his stuff.
Are you saying that
these pills are Bode's?
It's just you and me, Bode.
No shame.
Recovery has a lot
of twists and turns, man.
Believe me, I know because
I've walked myself
inches from the blackjack table
only to turn right back
around and hit a meeting.
So I get flirting with your poison.
But I can't help you
unless you tell me the truth.
(SIGHS) Why do you have these pills?
Someone gave them to me.
And why'd you keep them?
I forgot that I had them.
You lied to Audrey, Bode.
Audrey did this?
She's worried about you, man,
and so am I.
Which is why I need you
to tell me the truth.
Why do you have these pills?
The truth is I haven't taken them.
And I wasn't going to.
Manny, where you going?
There's a rapid drug test
in your locker.
Not a problem.
(SNIFFS)
I'm clean.
I hope so.
'Cause Richards thinks
you're the problem with 42.
Hey.
Never would've pegged you for a narc.
Yeah, make me the problem.
That's fine.
Did you tell Manny why one of
those little pills is missing?
Or did you leave
that little detail out?
Oh, you think I didn't count them?
You just gave Richards a second
reason to kick me out of here.
How could you do this to me?
If I didn't hand over those pills,
I was afraid I was gonna end up
at your funeral, all right?
JAKE: What pills?
Bode?
Bode, tell me you are not using again.
I'm clean. I'm
Th-The test is gonna show it, too.
I I'm not gonna stand here
and get treated like
I'm some kind of junkie.
(AUDREY SIGHS)
- Bode's getting high again.
- Vince had an affair.
- What do you mean, he's getting
- What do you mean, affair?
Okay. Enough. Stop.
You-you first.
EVE: I found this in
Vince's guitar case.
Vince was having an affair.
What? No.
Vince isn't wasn't
the cheating type.
Well, it's signed "R,"
like "R" for Renée.
She was just here,
reminiscing a little too long
about their time together.
You mean his ex from high school?
No, there has to be
a better explanation.
Like what?
I don't know. Somebody's upset
that their house burned down,
and they're turning to extortion.
You're right. Uh, doesn't make sense.
(SIGHS)
All right, my turn. Um
Bode's got drugs, and
Audrey found them in his stuff.
Oh, no.
Now, Bode says he didn't take them,
but Audrey got scared and told Manny.
Oh, no.
And Richards, he says that
whoever's gonna be
the new battalion chief
will probably have to get rid of Bode.
And that'll definitely seal the deal.
But Richards is
the new battalion chief, right?
Yeah. Well, you know,
he's thinking about
anointing a new one,
and, um
(CLAPS HANDS)
he thinks it's me.
So you're gonna end Bode's career.
SHARON: No, we'd be happy to help.
Please, please bring them by.
Okay, I'll see you soon.
(HANGS UP PHONE)
Manny.
I slept.
I really, really slept! Oh, man!
Who could've guessed
that you snoring on my couch
would lull me to sleep
instead of keep me up?
But thank you. I owe you.
Sharon.
There it is. I know that face.
What?
(STAMMERS) Bode's?
Yeah.
No, he looked me
right in the face and he lied?
Again?
Oh, God, Manny, this kid is
gonna break my heart again,
isn't he?
I don't think so, actually.
Look, I know, and now you know.
And Audrey knows about it.
But Richards doesn't know.
But, Sharon, he told Jake that
he's ready to hand over the keys
to the new battalion chief,
if he can toss Bode out.
Maybe that's what he needs,
is to go and get help somewhere else.
What?
No, Sharon, I'm trying
to get ahead of this thing.
You know, I was gonna keep it
in the family.
You want to keep this
from Richards? No. No.
The guy is smart. No.
And if we don't bring it to him
first, he'll just sniff it out.
So what are you suggesting,
that we go tell
the guy who wants
to kick him out of here?
Manny, my son is a drug addict.
And he's holding pills.
He didn't leave us any other choice.
Schedule I narcotics in
the locker of not just a probie
but the problem child of the station?
All due respect, chief,
Bode's not a problem.
He has a problem.
Well, then he needs to get help.
The department recommends
a residential treatment program.
Chief, Chief, his drug test
isn't even back yet.
You don't know that rehab's
the right course of action.
- I know what's not right.
- What's that?
Putting an unstable former addict
in life-and-death scenarios unchecked.
I don't disagree.
MANNY: (SIGHS) Come on.
You guys can't do this to him.
Your division and battalion
chief can absolutely do this.
Wow.
Okay.
Send him away.
But you send him out of here,
you send me with him.
- Manny, please, come on.
- Sharon, no, I can get him through this.
I'll tell you what.
Bode's drug test comes back clean,
then I take full responsibility
for him at work today.
All right?
42's not 42 without Bode, Sharon.
You know that.
- (ALARM RINGING)
- (PHONE VIBRATES)
- Chiefs, please.
- (URGENT CHATTER IN DISTANCE)
Listen to me.
It's a silo ladder evacuation.
- Chezem Valley farmhouse.
- What's it gonna be, D.C. Leone?
Am I rolling with Bode and Perez,
or am I down two firefighters?
(PHONE CHIMES)
Bode's rapid drug test came back.
And?
Negative.
- Yes!
- Did not think it was gonna go that way.
I am happy to hear it.
Both you guys, I got him, okay?
Okay, but if he's a risk to himself,
- then every single person on
- Sharon.
I got him.
I got him, okay?
♪
(SIREN WAILING)
♪
Someone, help me!
(FIRE TRUCK HORN HONKING)
- Help!
- MANNY: All right, ma'am,
we're gonna get you down.
Just hold on.
Perez, you're gonna give
incident command a whirl on this one.
Wait, what? No, not me.
Crawford. He's the one
who's up for battalion chief.
- He's trained, he's studied
- That may very well be,
but, uh, you stuck your neck out,
risked your own career
hitching your fate to Bode's.
Crawford didn't do that.
The only way to be responsible
for Bode is
be responsible for the whole game.
- WOMAN: Please help me. Please.
- You vouch for him.
Means his wins are yours,
but his loss is also yours.
So let's see how you run this thing.
Manny, you vouched for me?
Of course I did, and I'd do it again.
I know you won't make me regret it.
WOMAN: I'm stuck on the ladder.
Can you help me?
Don't worry, ma'am.
Just hold on, all right?
- We're gonna get you down.
- Uh, damn old ladder
broke beneath me as I was climbing up.
Just stay calm!
Cap, that rung she's standing on
looks unstable.
- Yeah.
- Looks rusted out.
RICHARDS: What's your move, I.C.?
Uh
We improvise. That hay cart.
Get it under her in case she falls.
- 42, let's go.
- On it. Let's go.
My name is Captain Manny Perez.
- WOMAN: I'm Sylvana.
- We're on it, ma'am.
Just hang on tight. You can do it!
BODE: Hurry. Come on, hurry.
- Come on. Push.
- (WHEELS CREAKING)
(GRUNTING)
Please get me down, Manny.
We're gonna do everything we can.
This thing's gonna go!
(GASPING)
(SCREAMING)
No, no, no, no, no!
Sylvana, stay calm!
I need you to listen to me.
When you let go,
you got to tuck your head, okay?
42, hurry up! Come on, let's go!
- (STRAINING)
- Come on, hurry, hurry.
MANNY: Hold on! We're almost there!
We're gonna catch you!
(SCREAMS) No, no, no!
(YELLING)
No, no, no!
(GASPING)
How much time do we have?
Uh, they're one minute out.
Did Greencrest explain
why the inmate carrier
was being rerouted to 42?
Uh, just that they were on a
call, there's some minor burns,
and they wanted them
to get checked before they drive
- all the way back to Blue Lakes.
- (FIRE TRUCK BEEPS)
Okay.
Oh.
Captain Wessels, Blue Lakes Con Camp.
Ah, D.C. Leone. We spoke on the phone.
Thanks for letting us
use your station.
Oh, my pleasure.
Uh, gentlemen,
there's water right over here,
and if you're injured,
just line up there
- so we can have a look at you.
- Hey, what's up, man?
- Water over here.
- I need to check status
on the Holbrook Fire on your monitors.
Yes. It's right in there in my office.
- All right, thanks.
- Thanks.
EVE: Oh, my goodness.
Ames! Big Mike!
I didn't hear you guys landed
at another camp.
Yeah, after we lost Three Rock,
we went back to county for a bit.
Been with this crew
for a few weeks now.
That's good news.
No? You get fresh air,
helping the community.
It beats, you know,
being behind bars, right?
We've been on that Holbrook Fire
since we joined.
Oh, that's been a beast.
BIG MIKE: Least in prison we got beds.
Yeah, and good meds.
Got a bad case of swamp foot
needs tending.
Well, take it easy on that foot.
Hydrate, okay?
- Everything okay?
- (SIGHS)
That's not the warm reunion
I was expecting, but
WESSELS: Bad news.
Change of plans, Buttercups.
The wind is kicking
at the Holbrook Fire.
Straight back to it for us.
- (SIGHS)
- Another day in paradise.
Um, I think these guys need a break.
Look, I'm seeing
dehydration, exhaustion,
some really dangerous stuff.
I don't make the orders. I take them.
Cal Fire says we got to go.
(INDISTINCT EMERGENCY RADIO CHATTER)
Let's go!
Can you, can you move your toes?
(GRUNTS) I think so.
(PANTING)
Nothing feels broken.
Oh.
Are you done getting Gary down, too?
Gary?
MANNY: Who's Gary?
My husband.
He went up before me to open the silo.
Didn't you see him?
All right, ma'am,
let's get, let's get you down.
Bode, take a look.
♪
Watch your step.
There you go. There you go.
No one there, Cap.
Okay, are you sure?
- You sure he went up there?
- He's up there.
That's why I got caught on the ladder.
I was hollering at him
to get the hell down.
- Oh, he must have
- Fallen in.
- Oh, God. Oh.
- Okay.
James, come here. Leone.
- (SYLVANA CONTINUES PANTING)
- You guys get up there
with the climbing gear
and the ladder, all right?
He doesn't have much time left.
He may have already been
swallowed up. Let's go.
Eve?
Uh, Blue Lakes is pulling out
if you want to say goodbye
to your guys.
I could've sworn we had
some leftover antibiotics
in here somewhere.
- You're not feeling well?
- No. (SIGHS)
Ames has a foot infection,
and my guys are being worked
into an early grave,
and it's just killing me because
I don't know how to help.
And now, if Three Rock
hadn't burned, I
Please, don't do that to yourself.
I mean, I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't filled with "what ifs"
and "if onlys" myself today.
Heard about the Bode pill thing.
And you don't have to worry
because Manny's got him today.
Yeah. Which I just have to accept
and hope that neither of them
get fired for it.
Well, you know, look.
I don't want Bode leaving 42 either,
but if there's one thing
I do know about him,
it's that Bode's resilient.
Yes.
Just like the rest
of your Three Rock crew.
(HEAVY THUD AND CHATTER NEARBY)
Yo, we need some help out here now.
(URGENT CHATTER)
Mike! Mike!
- Can you hear me?
- Thank you.
EVE: Okay, he's unresponsive.
Airway is clear. Shallow resps.
- What happened?
- AMES: He was just
waiting to get on the carrier,
and then bam.
Hey! No "what ifs."
We're gonna focus, right?
Right. Gloves.
Yeah.
You in there?! Gary?!
(SCREAMS) Help me!
Hey! I'm drowning!
It's got to be like quicksand
in there for him.
(SHALLOW PANTING)
Rescue Team One, ready to descend
into the silo with the equipment.
Silo I.C., Rescue Team One, copy.
Hey, look, we don't know
how long he's been in there.
I mean, the pressure of the grain
may be causing him
to suffocate already.
Yeah, well, do you have a suggestion?
All right, we know
that they're gonna be
knocking the dust down with water,
so saw into the side
at the level of the evacuee.
In and out, fast.
Look, safety's my priority
on this, Jake, all right?
And the safest way to extract
is through the top.
- Okay.
- And we'll no, listen to me.
We'll speed up the process
by having them descend on
a charged hose, but, you know,
we try it your way,
sparks from your saw could mix with
the grain particles,
gases in the air and
- Yeah, and cause a dust explosion. I know.
- Exactly.
My point is that
Look, maybe the speed
is worth the risk.
- Eh.
- Both good points.
But Perez has the mic today.
Your call.
Come on, Manny.
(INDISTINCT EMERGENCY RADIO CHATTER)
(TOOL CRANKING)
AUDREY:
Careful. Those springs are old.
I can handle myself, James.
Just worry about
your own side of things.
It's gonna be a long day
with that attitude.
You can blame me
till you're blue in the face.
Tell yourself whatever you need to.
But only you know the
truth about those pills.
All right, tension springs
are released, Command.
We got room now for the equipment.
MANNY (OVER RADIO):
Good work, Team One.
Charging the line.
- (ENGINE IDLING)
- (WATER FLOWING)
Thank you.
BODE: Hey, Gary,
this dust is combustible,
so we're gonna wet down the grain.
(GARY BREATHING HEAVILY, WHEEZING)
AUDREY: Try to stay
still. Won't be long now.
Are you finally coming?!
BODE: Stay calm, all right?
We're gonna get you out.
Just a little bit longer, Gary.
I'm slipping deeper in!
(WHIMPERS) Help!
BODE: Hey, well, listen,
sir. You got to stay still.
That grain's gonna act like quicksand,
so the more that you struggle,
the faster you're gonna sink.
- (PAINED GRUNTING)
- AUDREY: Don't worry about your wife.
She had a scare, but she's all right.
My wife's the reason
I'm sinking in this damn silo
in the first place!
Command, this is Rescue Team One.
Preparing to descend.
Rescue Team One, descend with care.
AUDREY: Be safe.
♪
What the hell are those things?
Can't you just pull me out?
You got a ton of pressure
on you right now, Gary.
That's probably why
you're struggling to breathe.
You're like a
like a, like a
well-established tree, okay?
If-if we try and just
yank you out of here,
it's gonna tear off your roots.
GARY (STRAINING):
For the love of God, Sylvana.
Look what you got me into.
(GARY GRUNTING IN PAIN)
Saying she pushed you?
No.
She wouldn't stop nagging me
about a silo renovation.
(GRUNTS)
Doesn't seem like a bad idea,
considering the ladder snapped.
It was a bad idea.
Huge fight later.
I insisted on doing
the renovation myself.
I come up here, she follows me,
harangues me to pay a professional.
Ladder snaps, and she screams
like a wounded wildebeest.
Makes me lose my damn footing.
(SHALLOW PANTING)
Next thing I know, I'm inhaling
corn feed like a vacuum cleaner.
All right, just try
and hold still, all right?
Hang on.
We're gonna get you out of here.
Yeah, and maybe don't blame your wife
for being afraid
the silo could hurt you.
I don't know. I think, you know,
sometimes you just got to let a
person handle his own business.
You two a thing or something?
Right now, Gary,
just a couple firefighters
getting you out of here.
♪
Manny, look, this is taking too long.
Well, I stand by my call.
And frankly, as your captain,
I don't really owe you an explanation.
I get it. You're I.C.
But let me ask:
Do you think Bode will learn
anything if we let things slide?
Is that what I did?
- I let it slide?
- He had pills.
He's an addict.
Why is he on this call?
Two plus two.
It's that simple for you, huh?
All right, well,
let me ask you something, man.
What do you know about
being an addict?
Or dealing with someone
in recovery, huh?
That's what I thought.
And I say this with love, all right?
But you're letting your ambition
cloud your judgment on this one.
And you want to talk about safety?
I'm trying to keep Bode alive.
That, besides saving
these farmers' lives,
is my priority as I.C.
You copy?
(HEART MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)
All right, Big Mike.
Looks like your vitals are stable.
Definitely feeling better.
So that means we can head back out.
Hey, can we, um,
have a word for a sec?
We'll be right back, man.
Hey, so I grew up on a ranch,
and my horses got better
treatment than these guys.
The malnutrition, the
dehydration, the exhaustion
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Let's not get carried away.
Okay? We're doing the best we can.
Mm-hmm.
Look, I'm trying to help these guys.
The more they work,
the more money they bank,
the more days get
knocked off their sentence.
Okay. I hear you.
And, look, I used to be
an inmate captain, too.
But sometimes it's not about
what they want,
it's about what they need.
Call your supervisor,
and take these guys
off the board for 72 hours.
And when my boss says the fire's
threatening neighborhoods?
You tell him what my daddy
used to tell me.
You work a horse too hard,
what do you get?
(SCOFFS SOFTLY)
- A dead horse.
- Mm-hmm.
Yes, sir.
I grew up on a ranch, too.
Hmm.
I'll make the call.
Appreciate you, Cap.
Come on, Gary. Stay with us.
(WHEEZING): Hard to breathe.
BODE: Your lungs have been
compressed for a long time,
but we're gonna get you out of here.
Pulse ox has dropped.
Eighty-nine.
Command, Rescue One.
Patient is now critical.
What's the ETA on egress?
Copy. How much time we looking at?
BODE: Eight, ten minutes tops.
And then he's severely hypoxic.
That's not enough time
to lift him out.
What's that mean, "hypoxic"?
Ma'am, we're working on
getting him out.
Take her to the back.
Manny, what if we go with my plan?
Saw into the side
but below grain level.
Let the grain spill out,
get him out fast.
Still a huge risk
for dust explosion, Jake.
Then you back me up.
Listen, this isn't about being
battalion chief anymore.
I heard you,
but this is the best plan.
It's a big call, Perez.
What's it gonna be?
We can do this.
Come on, Manny.
BODE: We need a decision fast.
It's now or never.
♪
Manny, we can do this.
- What's it gonna be, Manny?

Rescue One,
tether yourself to the victim.
Prepare to plunge with the grain line.

Stay with us.
You're doing great.
You're doing great.
Yeah, Gary, come on.

BODE: Command, Rescue One.
Gary's turning blue.
We need a real egress ASAP.
(PANTING) This is just
gonna keep happening.
There's not enough time.
What if there were two of you?
What, you're gonna cut as I.C.?
No, you can't do that,
especially with this risk.
Thought you'd never ask.

Hang in there, Gary. Come on.
What was your name again?
Bode.

We got two saws on the cut now.
It should be soon.
Hang in there.
Tell her
my wife Sylvie
that it wasn't her fault.
It it was mine.
Gary, you're gonna tell her yourself
when you get out of here, okay?
She'd love to hear it.
Believe me.
D.O.C. denied our request for 72.
They need to understand they
can't work people to the bone.
My hands are tied.
Short of an act of God,
we got to go back out.
All right.
Wait.
I got an idea.
All right, patient's at 83.
We cannot do CPR in a cereal box.
We got to get out of here now.
Command, Rescue One.
- Patient is fading fast.
- MANNY: Rescue One,
we're almost there.
Brace yourself for sudden egress.
BODE: Copy, Command.
We don't have much more time.

Vince and I used to celebrate
that with a risqué cable movie
and two glasses of wine.
(CHUCKLES) Okay.
- That's a little TMI, but
- (LAUGHS)
That was a good call today,
telling the D.O.C.
that the carrier was busted.
Well, luckily, their captain
went along with the story.
- So
- And if he hadn't?
Taken a fire axe to the tires.
(LAUGHING)
Oh.
You care.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Yeah.
But still, I let my guys
get sent elsewhere.
I took my eye off the ball.
I-I should've done more.
But you know what?
Now I'm gonna find a way
to get the state to reopen Three Rock.
I will not hear a no.
Good work out there today.
(SIGHS) You shouldn't have
vouched for me.
(SNIFFS) I lied to you.
There it is.
Now.
The truth.
(SIGHS)
I was holding on to those pills
as an escape hatch.
Something to numb out
if things got really bad.
I took one a couple weeks back.
Yeah, but your test came back clean.
'Cause I spit it out.
I was this close.
(SIGHS)
Now we're finally talking.
That's good. Come here.
That's progress.
Listen to me.
I want you to take these
and flush them.
For real.

Aren't you gonna watch?
Nah.
You coming clean with me right now
shows me I don't have to.
Go on. I'll take care of Richards.
♪
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
You were right about Leone.
Eh, there's a lot of
different ways to look at it.
Yeah?
What's your way?
Well, he didn't have
a good reason to keep the pills.
But he copped to it.
I know him.
He's fighting his way through it now.
You're recommending a pass?
I am.
And I know what it sounds like.
Same ol' same ol' at 42, right?
But you stand by it.
I do.
RICHARDS:
Maybe I didn't see things right.
Maybe, uh, Bode isn't the problem.
Maybe my focus on the
10s and 18s clouded the truth.
Which is what?
(SIGHS)
42 needs family healing.
Well, I'm not gonna fight you on that.
Let me tell you what I saw
out there today.
A lot of emotional intelligence
from you.
Especially about a probie
who lost his dad
and is under more pressure
than anyone can imagine.
Now, that said, the way
he butts heads with authority,
that's gonna continue to be a problem.
- I don't disagree.
- You managed a captain
who was upset about not being I.C.
You were respectful but honest.
Firm.
And you see all the angles.
You're exactly what 42 needs.
I'm naming you
the new battalion chief.
- MANNY: Hey, hey.
- What's up, Manny?
Wanted you to hear this from me first.
- What's up?
- Richards is leaving.
Well, great.
I was afraid,
after that Bode business,
he would camp here forever.
There's more.
He just named
42's permanent battalion chief.
It's me, Jake.
Uh, there's-there's still
a lot of steps
we got to go through.
But, uh
Richards is gonna make sure
it gets over the line.
Do you even want the job?
- Do I want it?
- Yeah.
No.
But I feel responsible
to answer the call,
to keep it in our 42 family.
Look, Jake, you
Jake, you're gonna make
an excellent battalion chief one day.
Just not today.
Yeah. Yeah, well, you know,
I guess we'll never know.
(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
Well, here's what I do know.
I need you, Cap.
And I don't know
if Vince ever told you,
but 42 does not run well
without Jake Crawford.
'Cause we're family.
And you're part of that.
And he knew that.
I don't know, maybe he just had
a hard time saying it, but I don't.
Please don't make my appointment
your reason to leave.
(SIGHS)
♪
I'm sorry.
Good.
'Cause you wrinkled this one.
I meant about what I said
this morning.
You're not a narc.
I was being stubborn.
But I can see it now, you know?
You were just trying to help me.
Manny, too.
(SIGHS)
Holding those pills
I can see why you wanted to take them.
I wanted to take them.
They were burning a hole
through my hand, too.
Bode, I feel like, when we were apart,
I got good again.
And being back here,
where Finn was and (SIGHS)
everything that's gone on,
I can feel that progress
starting to slip away.
We can get through this together.
I'm ready now.
(SIGHS)
We can get through it.
But I don't know about together.
We just got back to being us.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
"Us" is not the problem.
Nothing was ever broken there.
It's just that
staying clean feels
so fragile right now.
And I'm just scared that being
fragile together would sink us.
(VOICE BREAKING): So I think
we got to get through this apart.
(AUDREY SNIFFLES, SIGHS)
I know.
(CHUCKLES, SNIFFLES)
I'm sad, too.
But it's like I said.
"No funerals."
Are you gonna go back to Lynette's?
No.
I'm still determined to finish
my probie punch list before you.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Richards says that 58 needs bodies.
42's star probie
didn't sound too bad to them.
- Star probie?
- Mm-hmm.
Oh, really, really?
- Mm-hmm. Ask him.
- Okay.
- All right.
- (LAUGHS)
(SIGHS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
You get yourself right, 24K.
Win me back.
We love a romantic comeback.
♪
Don't tell me you're packing up
and leaving now.
- Oh, you heard?
- Yeah.
And I'm torn because
I'm happy for Manny,
but I'm disappointed for you.
Yeah, I'm disappointed, too.
In myself.
- (SIGHS)
- What
I mean, don't beat yourself up, man.
- You worked your ass off.
- No, not that.
Eve, trying to get this job
has changed me.
I mean, this morning,
I was ready to ship Bode off.
What kind of friend does that?
Jake, we have been through a lot.
You still have that Vince letter?
Yeah. You want
to tell Sharon about it?
No. No, the opposite.
I want to protect her.
(DOOR OPENS)
SHARON: Ah.
Look at you.
Ignoring the "closed" sign.
Here I thought
you were a rule follower.
Thought we chiefs might share
a brew on my way out of town.
You know what they say about rules.
Heard about Manny as B.C.
Great choice.
Got to say, I was a little surprised.
I was convinced you were gonna
dig your claws in here for good.
What, these puppy paws?
(SHARON LAUGHING)
(RICHARDS SIGHS HEAVILY)
I got stung by a yellow jacket
today at that Chezem farm.
(LAUGHING)
Oh, you think it's funny?
Edgewater bit you
on your way out of town?
Ah, even Vince would find that funny.
(SIGHS)
That a battle scar?
(SIGHS): Yeah.
Structure fire in Clearlake Oaks.
Seven years ago.
You know, one of those
quiet morning calls,
supposed to be simple.
That does not seem simple.
- I'm sorry.
- Mm.
(CLEARS THROAT) My mentor
She stepped on a spongy roof.
Realized it too late,
sunk like a stone.
(GRUNTS)
By the time we found her
(SIGHS)
About the mentor.
Let's just say you and I have
something in common.
Your mentor was your wife?
Who died in the line of duty?
Why didn't you tell me?
(SCOFFS SOFTLY)
Wasn't exactly a warm room.
Hey, come on.
You-you have to tell me
the truth, then.
Uh
does this get
Easier?
Yeah.
Kinda.
But, I mean, I-I feel guilty
admitting it sometimes.
It-it does. Takes time, though.
But y-you're in it right now.
I'm sorry to say.
And I'm also sorry to say
the real reason I'm here is
to tell you something else.
("LIAR" BY JELLY ROLL PLAYING)
The ATF's investigation
into the Zabel Ridge Fire
is shaping up to show that someone
might have started it.
The fire that nearly decimated
this town was set by a person?
Looks like it.
And I'm sure your son,
with his passion and sense of justice,
he's gonna have feelings.
I would watch out
how he gets the news.

Yeah, I walk right out the fire ♪
Yeah, you try to keep me down ♪

Hey, uh, Bode, you got a sec?
I flushed the pills.
You can ask Manny if you want.
No, that's your business,
and I'll stay out of it.
Unless you need support,
then I can be all up in it.
- I'm good.
- EVE: Bode, don't.
We've all been going through it
since Vince passed.
And now you want to push away Jake?
I'm not gonna let you guys get
as bad as you did when we lost Riley.
I-I don't want to get back
to that place again.
That place wasn't a good time.
With Audrey leaving to go to 58,
I'm gonna need someone
to hang out with.
So Audrey's leaving?
JAKE: Well, look, man,
whatever you need.
I mean, a night out, bowling
Yeah, we're family.
Right, y'all?
JAKE: Yeah.
Which is why we wanted
to show you something.
Something I think
should stay in the family.
EVE: It was in your dad's guitar case.
I wasn't sure what to do with it.
Um, keeping it from you
felt like the wrong move.
JAKE: Look, this person, "R"
EVE: Which could be Renée.
JAKE: Whoever it is,
they were something to Vince,
and if her threats have
any bite to their bark, Bode
she's coming after your mom.
