Fire Country (2022) s04e06 Episode Script

Previously on Fire Country
SHARON: There's a new fire
on Zabel Ridge,
and 42's next up on deck.
I understand why you're upset,
but I had to get you out of there.
SHARON: Which is all the more
reason why you should have left me there!
The only reason why I'm standing here
and he's not is you.
- JAKE: What about you and Francine?
- EVE: I think kids are great,
but right now my focus is on Three Rock.
SHARON: The ATF believes
that someone set the Zabel Ridge Fire.
Everything about it points to arson.
You cannot go vigilante on this.
No, I mean, I want to help
with 42 if we can.
JAKE: You know, I keep
looking over my shoulder
'cause somebody who drives
the same street as us,
somebody who sat down the bar from us,
maybe even sat with,
set our town on fire.
Keeps me up at night.
BODE: But we don't know that
whoever started the Zabel Ridge Fire
is even from Edgewater.
Oh, okay, so what?
What, then someone
who was just rolling through
tossed a cigarette? Still pisses me off.
What's getting pissed gonna do? Nothing.
Us out here helping the ATF
out an arsonist, then we got
something to be pissed at.
Wow. Bode Leone, the voice of reason.
Hey, Agent Ruffin.
Are we searching all the way up
to Boulder Ridge?
Yeah. We've narrowed the origin
point to this five-acre stretch.
So you're looking for any
evidence to support our theory
that Zabel Ridge was human-caused.
Anything you find, no matter how small,
ATF needs to analyze it.
Hey, Bode.
You sure you're good
with being here today?
Deep-diving on Zabel Ridge,
this investigation,
it's enough to set any one of us
off, especially you.
Yeah, we got the okay
from the ATF to be here.
Hey. You're almost a free man.
Your parole ends tonight at midnight.
Yeah, I'm good.
Hey, hey, Chief.
Look, I've got eyes on him.
Our boy's gonna cross that finish line.
Let's hope.
Hey, Agent Ruffin.
Got something over here.
ATF, you're with me.
I need a radius now.
Firefighter, drop your tool, please.
Yeah.
Told you, I'm good.
FRANCINE: Wow, you really brought
the Edwards special into the woods, huh?
EVE: I mean business, babe.
Coffee?
- Ooh, yeah, sure.
- Okay.
So, I've been thinking
about the next big step, and
I got you this.
Will you accept this key to my place?
'Cause I think it's time
you had your own.
Yeah.
You wanted to talk about keys?
Yeah.
Okay. Um, I wanted to talk
about the other "K" word.
Kids. Kids.
Eve, I want to talk about kids.
Kids, yes.
So, when I say that I want kids,
I don't mean right now.
I mean, like, in five years or
Yeah, and I, and I want to want them
for you.
- Yeah.
- And I just don't.
What if we foster?
- Um
- We can help a kid, we can help,
uh, another family through a hard time,
and it gives you and I a chance
to sort of test-drive You know?
Well, I don't think you should
talk about foster kids
like they're a car.
Not a kid, Eve, parenting.
I know, you-you want to start
a family in five years
and, like, test-drive parenting now.
It's just (LAUGHS)
This is, like, a lot, Fran.
(SIGHS) I kind of already applied, Eve.
And my evaluation is next week.
That is why I pushed to have
this conversation today.
You applied to be a foster
parent without telling me?
Yeah, well, you haven't wanted
to talk about anything real, Eve,
for months.
And-and I do understand.
After Zabel Ridge. Baby, I do.
But what I took from being back
on my little island alone,
when we weren't talking,
is that I-I need
to stop putting my life on hold.
So you made this decision alone?
I think
I deserve some time to think about it.
Also alone.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Okay.
RUFFIN: Give me that evidence bag.
- Wait, is that
- Fire accelerant.
This fit your suspect profile?
It's one detail in a chain
of evidence we're assembling.
Can't comment on it beyond that.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
What, Smokey's?
So it really could be someone from town.
Or anyone.
Someone just passing through.
- Hey, hey. Bode, Bode, Bode.
- JAKE: Hey, hey.
Hey, back behind the tape, please.
That-That's an old lighter
from the restaurant
that my family owns. I can help you.
Behind the tape, Firefighter Leone.
Chief Perez, a word.
My apologies, Agent Ruffin.
Station 42 is here because
your division chief promised me
you could stay in line.
Your record and reputation from
Three Rock, it precedes you.
- So does Leone's.
- How the hell is that even relevant?
Inheriting a battalion's
a tough gig, Chief Perez.
But if you can't handle your people,
I will go up Cal Fire's
chain of command.
Copy.
Really, Bode?
Overstepping with the Feds?
I'm not trying to overstep.
That lighter is from the bar
that my parents own.
- That changes everything.
- You don't know that.
You want to push? You push tomorrow.
Today you play by their rules.
SHARON: Hey.
Hey.
I decided I'd be helpful
and take a stack off your plate.
What evidence have I ever given
you or my husband
that I am someone
that needs to be handled?
Uh, I'm guessing that
you still have no clue
as to why Vince was paying off your mom?
Well, she may be crazy,
but he wasn't.
There must be a reason.
Well, you know,
there is still one person around
who can actually answer
that question for you.
My mother? Ooh, hard pass on opening up
that unmedicated can of worms.
All right, it's your call.
Today I'm focused on Bode.
Are you nervous?
I Wow, feels really good
not to be the nervous parent.
Nah, it's just that, in my experience,
things tend to go sideways
in the last stretch.
Huh. Never would have pegged you
as superstitious.
You didn't see him out there today
after they found that Smokey's lighter.
Bode got right in there.
And Ruffin got in my face about him.
She brought our records
into the conversation.
That's irrelevant. I will call.
Eh, no, no, no. I'm all over it.
What?
Walter's old Buena Vista bill.
It's $600 less a month
than Vince told me.
Walter's gonna know something.
Or you could just call your mom.
Still no.
(SIGHS)
It's not like I'm eating or anything.
Yeah, right?
That lighter we found this morning
employees used to use those here
to light birthday candles.
Yeah, before your parents banned
that very obvious fire hazard.
What are you thinking?
Uh, it doesn't matter.
Bode, if you piss off the Feds,
you risk being thrown back into prison.
I'm working on getting the ATF
a name so they can do their job.
Okay, what happened to focusing
on what you can control?
I have info.
Okay, it's too close to home
to sit on our hands.
Only employees had access
to these lighters.
All right, they were
locked away in storage.
And these are all the people
who worked here
when Smokey's used them, and
they only lasted, like, six months.
Small town, short time frame,
short list.
Jeff Branick
Didn't the sheriffs catch him
with a bunch of illegal
fireworks a while back?
Okay, not helping, Eve.
Jeff quit working at Smokey's
three days after Zabel Ridge.
I mean
if you started a fire that killed a man,
would you want to work
alongside his widow every day?
- Hey.
- JAKE: Hey. No.
Bode. Bode.
I owe you an apology for this morning.
A lot of feelings when fires
are close to home.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, you and your neighbors.
Tip line's been blowing up.
Here's another one.
Um, Jeff Branick.
He got into some trouble a while back
with the law over fireworks.
And he used to work here as a barback,
but he quit three days
after Zabel Ridge.
Okay.
Tip line.
Yeah. I don't understand what
I'm giving you the tip right now.
Calling this in could take weeks.
Weeks? That'd be fast
for an ATF investigation.
Do you, do you actually
want to solve this case?
This is a solid lead.
If you're not gonna see it through,
then maybe I'll just,
I'll just pop on up over there
- to his place myself.
- Okay. Okay.
Obstructing an ATF investigation
that's a chargeable offense.
The way you tried to lunge over the line
this morning, and now this, huh?
Doesn't take a stretch
of the imagination
to see how you ended up incarcerated.
It's no secret that
I've done time in prison.
And that's why you should be
listening to me right now
because if I were Jeff Branick,
and I saw your ATF cars all
over town, I'd be on the run.
Yeah, I've seen your record.
Oh, have you?
- Yeah.
- Wow. Well, it sounds like maybe
you're spending a little too much time
- investigating me and not other people.
- Okay.
What? You think that
I did it? You think that
I-I killed my dad
and burned down this whole town?
Lost my appetite.
Jeff Branick.
Get justice for my dad, or I will.
♪
What's up? You know I have the day off.
Apparently, you thought
that it was a good idea
to run Agent Ruffin out of Smokey's?
Right after you agreed
to play by their rules?
Wasn't like that.
Well, you no longer have the day off.
I don't need a sponsor.
No, but you need your chief, Bode.
You're on shift. That's an order.
Ruffin's not playing around.
She judges our past,
so do not prove her right.
(TONES BLARING)
Let's go.
DISPATCHER (OVER RADIO): Station 42.
Structure fire, 5722 Mallard Way.
Hey, I thought you had the day off.
Manny's flexing his chief badge.
All right, team, we got a smoker fire
at a structure in the backwoods.
Keep your eyes peeled for a plug.
Not much water access out there.
- What, you know the place?
- JAKE: Yeah, Mabel's Smoked Meats.
Her husband's been telling her to
move the smoker outside for years.
Now she probably knows why.
All right, Crawford, you roll with me.
Eve, take the rig.
- EVE: Copy you.
- 42, let's roll.
(SIRENS WAILING)
What's up with the look, Cap?
Hmm? You know the place.
What, you got beef
with pulled pork? (LAUGHS)
Um, I used to go there when I was a kid
with my dad.
And I haven't been back
since he passed. (CLEARS THROAT)
I'm sorry. That was a poorly timed joke.
No. No, it's okay.
It's just a restaurant.
I doubt they'd
even recognize me anymore.
(CHUCKLES)
- (HORN BLARES)
- (SIREN WAILING)
Look at that.
Just straight-up parading it.
Bode, you can stalk Jeff Branick
on your own damn time.
Or you know what?
Better yet, give me that.
That's enough screen time for you.
Okay, Mom.
So what do you think of me fostering?
Fostering what? A dog?
I don't think you have enough time.
No, uh, fostering a kid, Bode.
Oh.
Well, I-I think that you have
even less time for that.
You want kids?
(SIREN WAILING)
(HORN BLARES)
Oh, thank God. Come right this way.
EVE: Hey, y'all smell that?
That's the first time
a fire's made me hungry.
MANNY: Hey, probie,
read the smoke to me.
Color appears abnormal.
The treated wood
may have gotten in the smoker.
And we worry about that, why?
The treated wood can release
chemicals like arsenic
when it's burned and make people sick.
That's good. All right, team,
let's run some hoses.
- Get to work.
- MABEL: Jake Crawford?
Is that you?
Guess she remembered you.
MABEL: Oh It's been too long.
I-I wouldn't have recognized you
under those muscles.
(CHUCKLES)
It's, uh,
it's good to see you, Ms. Mabel.
- Yeah.
- Wish it were under better circumstances.
And it's, um, captain now.
- Captain?
- MANNY: Hey, Jake,
Bode, come on, let's get on those hoses.
Come with me.
Keeping Edgewater's
best barbecue all to yourself?
Nah.
I haven't been here in a lifetime.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Okay.
Special delivery
from Red Cedar Memory Care.
I'm fine. You happy now?
You can cut the leash.
- (SIGHS)
- Head back to the kennel.
He's with it today. Lucky you.
Lucky me.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Thank you for shuttling him.
- You betcha.
- Okay.
Uh, Walter, I-I didn't
invite you here to cook for me.
Yeah, I know,
but let me do it anyway, Sharon.
I need a do-over
after last time I was here.
Leave the steak for a minute
and just try this fancy ham
that I got for you.
Yeah.
So then you can tell me why
my mother was extorting your son.
Yeah. I know that
he was sending her money
and lying to me about the cost
of Buena Vista to cover it.
And I can see from your face
you know exactly what I'm talking about.
(SIGHS)
Sharon, there's there's some things
that just have to stay
between a father and a son.
Absolutely. Except your son is not here.
And I'm really trying to understand.
How about I
make a meal first and
get my thoughts straight.
I'll be here all day.
Come on.
Give me that.
Bozo. He put water on a grease fire.
All right, Eve, on evac.
Okay, everybody, out of here this way.
- (COUGHING)
- JAKE: Get 'em out.
- Go.
- Jake Crawford.
All grown up.
Remember when I would tell Mabel
to put the godforsaken smoker outside?
I sure do, but, Gus,
right now I need to get you
and those burns out of here.
Seems like you came here a lot.
Yeah, well, every weekend
with my dad after church, but
no time to waste. Let's go. Work to do.
We got a full house. Hey, guys.
These are my grandkids.
- EVE: Hi.
- Lucky they were outside
when the fire started, huh?
(COUGHS)
This right here is gonna help
your grandpa, okay?
Here we go. I'm gonna put this
on your mouth, sir.
Here, hold that for me.
Thanks. We're gonna show Grandpa
how to breathe. Take a nice deep breath.
Here we go. (DEEP INHALE)
- (LONG EXHALES)
- Nice steady breaths.
Deep breaths.
Nice, guys.
See how strong he is?
You got kids of your own?
Nope.
I, uh, grew up the oldest,
four brothers.
So there was a lot
of entertaining, cleaning up.
Now, that's a full house.
- Yeah.
- (LAUGHS)
I only have the one.
Yeah. I wanted more, but Mabel
she wanted the-the smokehouse.
(COUGHS) I guess you can see
who won that battle.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(COUGHING)
EVE: Okay.
All right.
Eve's overseeing the patients.
Smoker fire's out.
MANNY: Fight's not over.
Something's still burning.
BODE: Dark smoke? Thing looks angry.
(SIGHS) Fire must've got into the vents.
Yeah, maybe the attic, too.
Hard to fight a fire that we can't see.
Exactly, so we need
a thermal imaging camera
and a hose line with a piercing nozzle.
- JAKE: Right, right, on it.
- Stat.
- Let's go.
- Let's go. We're on it.
All right, you find the fire,
then blast it.
First time I got to use one of these.
Well, you jam the spike
into the wall, and then
you spray where the fire is,
and water goes where water
- has no business going.
- Got a lot of grease buildup in this vent.
JAKE: Yeah, well, Gus,
he probably hasn't cleaned
those drippings since 1995.
All right, right here. Heat signature.
Knock it down.
Clear. Ready?
You're good.
Hey, you weren't kidding
about this piercing nozzle.
All right, one fire down.
Now, we find the next one.
(WATER SHUTS OFF)
- (BANGING ON WALL)
- WOMAN: Help!
Tell me that voice did not come
from inside this mess.
- (BANGING ON WALL CONTINUES)
- WOMAN: I'm trapped. Help!
Oh, it sure did. Somebody's up there.
All right, I hate to tell you, Chief,
but we have voice contact
from a victim trapped
in that attic. Switching to rescue mode.
Well, Jake, you know what to do.
Get up there.
Oh, Chief Perez.
I think someone is still in there.
Our waitress Jasmine she's missing.
Her shift just ended,
but her purse is still here.
Please, I'm so worried.
Okay. Okay, thank you. Thank you.
We got this.
Hey, Cap.
Your victim might go by Jasmine.
JAKE: Copy, Chief.
Accessing the attic now.
So you just want to keep
the dressing clean, okay?
- Grandpa can't breathe!
- What?
Hey, Matty, grab the BVM.
His throat's swelling up
because of the smoke inhalation.
Hey, Deon. Deon.
I need you to be a good big brother.
Take your little sister
and take her over there,
- okay?
- (WHEEZING)
Don't worry. I got you, okay?
Haven't heard her in a while.
Yeah, she probably passed out
from the smoke.
Grab the Halligan
and bring down that door.
Cal Fire. Call out.
Watch your back. Coming down.
All right. Cal Fire.
Call out.
Coming up.
Okay, Gus, I'm gonna assist you
with your breathing.
You're gonna take this hand,
you're gonna squeeze my arm
when you want breaths.
We're gonna do slow breaths.
Here we go.
Nice.
Take your time.
- (COUGHS)
- EVE: Oh.
All right, let's get him up.
- Here, take that.
- (COUGHING)
Here we go. There you go.
There you go. There you go.
Okay, the coughing's good.
Just means your swelling's going down.
The kids. The kids.
- Yeah, they're safe. They're safe, Gus.
- The kids.
- (GRUNTS) The kids!
- Hey, Gus. Gus. Gus!
If you don't calm down,
I'm gonna have to
strap you to this chair, okay?
(COUGHS)
(LAUGHS WEAKLY)
Kids or no kids (LAUGHS)
y-you got that mom voice down. (COUGHS)
All right, let's get him some water.
- WALTER: Grub's ready.
- SHARON: Oh.
(EXCLAIMS, SNIFFS)
No side dishes, huh?
Yeah, no need to dress this up.
And I don't want to dress
this Ruby business up either.
Oh, please don't.
- Wow.
- (GRUNTS)
Vinny and Ruby had an arrangement.
Vinny asked me to keep my mouth
shut about it, so I did.
- The Leone way right to the bitter end.
- Yeah.
Vinny thought it
would be best to keep her away from you
after your motorcycle accident.
How do you know about that?
Vinny never came to me for help
about anything, ever,
but that day he did, Sharon.
He thought you had a death wish.
- (GROANS)
- After Riley's funeral,
he was worried sick about you.
He knew Ruby could push
all your buttons and
thought you were hanging on by a thread,
and he wasn't gonna allow her
to unravel you,
so he just paid her
to stay the hell away from you.
She had insinuated that,
if I had been a better mother,
like her, I
I would probably
still have both my kids,
and I didn't know if she was right.
Well, she wasn't.
Thank you. I really
was not sure of that,
so I took the motorcycle out
for a think,
and I just, you know,
I was driving too fast,
and the bike flipped.
I was not trying to hurt myself.
You don't have to explain
anything to me.
I know a thing or two
about being broken.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
Thank you for telling me.
There's something else
I have to tell you, Sharon.
I (SIGHS)
This is about the night of the fire.
BODE: Jasmine!
Jasmine!
Okay, I got her.
She's at your two o'clock.
- Jasmine! Can you hear me?
- (JASMINE COUGHS)
I can hear you. Jake, she's alive!
- Jasmine.
- (JASMINE GROANS)
(JASMINE COUGHS)
JAKE: You've got a
hot spot to your back.
Be careful.
I got her!
Come on, let's get you out.
Come on, right here, right here.
Come on.
JAKE: Hey, hey, heat
signature to your left.
Stay to the middle.
Come on, B, watch your step.
Right here, follow my voice.
- BODE: I'm coming, coming.
- I got you. I got you.
There you go, right here.
- All right, give me your leg.
- Easy. Easy. Careful.
- Careful, careful.
- Easy.
(BODE AND JAKE SPEAK INDISTINCTLY)
JAKE: I got you.
JASMINE: I tried to get to the chimney.
I couldn't see through all the smoke.
You got to close the damper
or we're gonna lose this place.
Okay, first priority
is get you out here.
- Bode, take her outside.
- Yeah, on it.
Come with me.
Hey, Chief, Bode's coming out
with Jasmine.
Permission to stay behind
and cap the chimney.
Jake, this fire is ripping.
I'm seeing angry black
marshmallows in this smoke.
- It ain't good.
- JAKE: Yeah, we have a window
of opportunity, maybe a minute.
I can get up there and take care of it.
That window's closing, Jake. Move it.
Bode's on his way back in.
JAKE: Copy, Chief.
Jake, you got a hot spot on your right.
Chimney's about 20 feet
ahead on your left.
JAKE: Yeah, I see it.
I'm going for it.
(GRUNTING)
This floor's getting hotter, Jake.
The structure could be compromised.
(GRUNTING)
Damper's closed. How are we looking?
MANNY: Not good.
Smoke is still
pouring out of that chimney.
Hey, that chimney
could be full of grease.
We got to get out of here.
We tried. Let's move out.
JAKE: Wait. I can
use the piercing nozzle
to get through the metal pipe
and knock this thing down for good.
Chief, I'm your eyes in here,
and I know we're a new team, you and me,
but I'm asking you, trust me.
I got this.
30 seconds or I drag your ass out.
(GRUNTS)
Jake, you have no idea how much
fire is inside that pipe.
Come on, Jake. You need
to get out of there now.
BODE: Jake, the
whole floor's about to go.
- You got to get out of there.
- Come on, you son of a
(GRUNTS)
All right, Cap, we got white smoke.
Fire's calming. Get out of there.
Crawford?
Hey, Captain, do you copy?
Bode, I lost eyes on him.
Yeah, I lost my feed, too. I'm going in.
Jake, can you hear me?
Jake?
JAKE: I'm here. I'm here.
Let's get the rest of this fire put out.
When we came around the corner,
we were all together.
Walter, you hanging in there?
SHARON: And then the ceiling came down.
Yeah.
- Move! Move! Move!
- (SCREAMS)
When I woke up, I
couldn't see anything. I couldn't see
two feet in front of me.
The smoke and the fire,
and I and I was looking
I looked through the in the d
debris, it was And that's
And that's when I I saw him.
You did?
I couldn't get to him, Sharon.
He was
He w
- He was already gone?
- Yes.
Oh
(CRYING)
And I couldn't tell you because
I knew if I told you,
there was no way I was
gonna be able to pull you out of there.
We got to get out of here!
We got to get out of here!
Walter, where's Vince?
You have to believe me.
I would never leave my son.
Sharon
(CRYING)
(SIGHS)
JAKE: The way this day started,
I did not see you being the one
holding me back.
At least we're not predictable.
I can't believe you went
headfirst towards a pipe on fire.
Yeah, well,
I couldn't live with myself
if I didn't try.
All right, Gus, your chariot awaits.
Told the medics that
your O2 sats look good.
Thanks for giving me more time
with my grandkids.
- And my smoked meats.
- (LAUGHS)
Look, I'm just happy that
your second child
is still standing tall.
Yeah. Yeah, Mabel
was begging me
for this smokehouse for years.
What made you finally say yeah?
Mabel wanted it. I wanted Mabel.
You compromise in the name of love.
It's not such a bad thing.
Safe trip, Gus.
Thank you.
WALTER: I'll be out
of your hair in a minute.
I already called the aide.
There we go. (LAUGHS)
SHARON: You're a
tricky one, you know that?
You did make me realize that
there is something I need to do
on my own after you leave.
Well, every once in a while
I try to do something right.
(LAUGHS)
(CAR HORN HONKS)
That's my ride. I better go.
Okay.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS)
(LINE RINGS)
RUBY (OVER RECORDING):
You found me. Ruby Quinn.
Lucky you. Leave a message.
(BEEP)
Ruby.
Mother.
I know Vince was sending you money.
He's not gonna be doing that
anymore because
he died.
I don't want any condolences
and I-I don't want anything.
I want you to keep staying away
from my family.
So please keep doing that.
(BEEP)
(INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSION)
Ah.
From our wall of fame. Look.
(LAUGHS)
Wait, you took us down?
Small space, new rib-eating champs.
You know, we ate, between us,
six pounds of ribs that day.
(LAUGHS) You and Barry
used to be fixtures around here.
And then you all stopped coming.
My dad
He and I would always order Tiger Woods
with the spicy sauce.
(LAUGHS) Well, your daddy
got spicy sauce.
Wait.
You were giving me mild?
Yeah, to spare your feelings.
(LAUGHS)
- Wow.
- (LAUGHS)
Well, it's a shame that
the smoker is out of commission
because I would kill
for an actual Tiger Woods
with spicy sauce.
Now, you think I wouldn't have
extras in the freezer?
Come on, now.
(LAUGHS)
Hey, what's up, fellas?
Hey, what's going on?
Yo, where's that other truck at?
- 1543?
- JAKE: Uh
Yeah, Bode, he said it was low on gas,
so he volunteered to fill it up.
(SIGHS) Damn it, Bode.
JAKE: Look, he's just getting gas.
Not robbing a bank. What's the problem?
The problem is,
I filled it up last night, Jake.
Problem is, he lied.
I really thought we were
out of the woods with him today.
He's driving up Linda Flora.
There are no gas stations up there.
No, it's just Jeff Branick.
Look, if he's caught trespassing
or if he gets into it with him
Then he goes right back to prison, yeah.
Damn it, Bode.
(PHONE BUZZING)
(LINE RINGING)
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Damn it, Bode. Pick up.
(PHONE BUZZING)
I'm sorry.
Wasn't left with much of a choice.
Everything's a choice, Bode.
You chose to slip out
and take the truck.
Now choose to get back in it.
Choices have consequences,
Bode, you know that.
This of all days, man.
Think about it.
He's got fireworks up here.
Just full-on out in the open,
flaunting it.
And what are you flaunting, huh?
That you're some kind
of a big, badass vigilante?
Is that how you want
all this to go down, huh?
For what, man?
Damn it, Bode.
Bode.
Bode, answer me.
Bode, don't hang up.
Do not hang up.
BODE: I had your voice in my head.
Bringing me back.
I didn't go in.
Jeff Branick is not worth my freedom.
Nothing is, mijo.
- (SIREN WAILING)
- Nothing.
(AGENTS SPEAK INDISTINCTLY)
ATF. We have a search warrant.
It looks like they took
your tip seriously.
Hey.
Follow me back to the station,
all right? Now.
Let's go.
(EVE SIGHS)
(MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY)
- Hey. Thanks for coming.
- Yeah.
Um
- Eve, I wanted to
- Yeah, I wanted to
- You go. Go.
- Um I spent
today wondering whether or not
I could change my mind about kids.
And right now
I'm not really up for it.
- It's just, um I can't.
- Yeah.
Uh, I spent all day thinking, too, and
I can't change my mind
about wanting to be a parent.
(STAMMERS) I don't want to.
Yeah, wouldn't want you to.
But I don't want to lose you.
And, um,
I don't know, maybe there's
a way that neither of us
has to give up anything.
Like, maybe we can find a compromise.
- What do you mean?
- You know that application
that you filled out to
foster kids without telling me?
Yes, I know, I'm-I'm sure
you're really upset at that.
Yeah, and we will be listening
to my music in the truck
for, like, the next month.
- Sure. (CHUCKLES)
- 'Cause
maybe you could list me
on the application,
not as a co-parent
but as your girlfriend.
Someone who's in your corner.
- I mean, I don't know, is that crazy?
- What? No.
No? (CHUCKLES)
It's not crazy.
It's, like, maybe, like, a little crazy.
- (LAUGHS): No
- (LAUGHS)
I'll take that key now.
- Just
- Yeah.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Maybe we can take this thing
back to my place and, um,
see if it even works.
Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
MANNY: Hey, you know what's
harder than being on parole?
Being off it.
I mean, I was free for years.
Threw one punch,
ended up right back in jail.
But tonight you proved that
you can walk yourself away
from the ledge before anything
like that happens to you.
Thanks.
But you shouldn't be close to the ledge
to begin with, am I right?
Bode, it's not just your future
you're playing with.
I just got this job.
And I may not have a P.O.,
but I sure as hell
got people looking over my shoulder,
keeping tabs on me,
waiting for me to mess up,
waiting for you to mess up.
And it doesn't matter what
my title is or what yours is.
You and I will always be ex-cons
in some people's eyes.
- So we prove them wrong.
- That's right.
It's an update on the investigation.
Jeff Branick had an alibi?
So the arsonist is still out there.
But I know, after today,
you're gonna leave chasing
that person to the pros, right?
All right.
- Okay.
- In the tiny town ♪
- Nice.
- Where I come from ♪
12:16 a.m., B.
You are officially a free man.
How's it feel?
Relieved.
It's hard to get excited
about finishing something
I never should have gotten myself into.
Ah, no, no, no. Come on, now.
You also got yourself out.
You know, Mabel's was my dad's favorite.
Or at least I thought it was.
But I think it (SIGHS)
was my favorite.
That's why he always took me there.
Hey, you remember when he passed?
Yeah.
We, uh, we went to Brewer's Pond.
Yeah, you showed up at my place
with a bag of rocks,
asking, "Hey, do you want
to throw these?"
- You didn't know how to skip 'em.
- No. You sucked at teaching me.
No, d-don't forget that
you bounced one off my face.
I never told my parents
how I got that black eye.
Okay, and thank you, thank you,
but, listen,
my point is, I don't have
a bag of rocks,
but
I got this.
Vince's favorite celebratory drink after
a long campaign fire whiskey ginger.
Now, I figured,
ginger beer for you,
whiskey for me to celebrate.
Good for me.
Well here's to your freedom.
To our dads.
To whatever's coming next.
It could be great.
