Fire Country (2022) s04e16 Episode Script
Not Worth the Risk
1
(GRUNTS) All right, out with it.
'Cause I know you didn't call me in here
on a freezing day
just to be your workout buddy.
I want the job.
REMS 1, team leader.
Now, Eleanor's been holding it
down since Jamal injured out.
Temporarily.
She doesn't want it full-time.
You don't think it should be me?
- You're the one who pushed me
- Yes, I know.
I pushed you into REMS
in the first place,
but upping you to REMS 1? Come on, Bode.
You've been on an engine crew for what,
a little over a year now?
Sacramento's not gonna want
someone so green
to head this thing up.
Plus you know.
They only see what's on paper, right?
42, the Edgewater Training Program
the-the time you did, man.
Three Rock.
- Three Rock.
- Yeah.
Is this about me being green
or that I've been in orange?
Honestly, probably both.
I can't change my record.
I was made for this.
REMS is doing whatever we can
with whatever we got.
- I'm an asset to this team.
- I know that.
Yes, you are.
But come on, REMS leader?
Out in the field with no eyes on you.
The brass is never gonna trust you enough
to just hand this thing over to you.
Can't you do something?
It's not about arguing for you, man.
It doesn't matter what I say.
It's about them getting to
know you. That takes time.
♪
Wow. She's cute.
- That your girlfriend?
- Is that any of your business?
And who's that kid? Are you a mom?
- (MEN CLAMORING NEARBY)
- TEX: You cheated!
- Two aces
- Nope.
Not when I have my hands full
with you guys.
Yeah, you cheated! No, no.
Give me my money back!
- I didn't cheat.
- You cheated.
No, I didn't. Two aces on the river.
Why'd you go all in?
What are you, stupid?
EVE: So y'all gambling?
What's that? Give it to me.
Contraband.
All right. I'm writing you both up.
Cap, come please don't do that.
- EVE: Mm-mm.
- It was Gunnar's idea.
GUNNAR: Not cool, dude.
Gunnar.
We're bored, Cap.
Haven't caught a fire in weeks.
Okay, well, y'all are supposed
to be using all of this time
for developmental work.
Like, Gunnar, did you apply to
the Level 3 electrician course
- you're supposed to?
- Uh, no, not yet.
He's afraid he's gonna blow himself up.
Well, since you like throwing stuff,
let me throw something at you.
GED study guide.
Tex, did you apply to the course?
- (LAUGHING)
- What are you laughing at?
He gave up.
Didn't want to flunk out
of high school a second time.
At least I don't flunk out
of every fitness drill,
you weak ass.
- Spell "fitness drill," dumbass.
- EVE: All right. Enough.
We're gonna go on a work hike.
Mount Silas.
Need help clearing the trails out there.
One, two, three.
We're gonna do a full gear-up.
Let's get out of here.
- It's freezing out there, Cap.
- Okay, well, don't worry, baby,
'cause we will keep a pace that
will keep you warm, I promise.
Get up.
While I'm still young!
CHLOE: Hey.
I have, uh, Manny's Americano.
Uh, Sharon's drip.
I have Jake's caramel latte.
- Forgot the whipped cream.
- I'm so sorry that
I-I messed up Jake's little whipped cream
on his little coffee order.
Did he want sprinkles, too?
Does he know that I had
to brave the cold?
Because, you know,
my cheeks are still numb.
I-I meant thank you.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
That's better. Thank you.
This is for you.
- I'll take this instead.
- Mm.
Here.
Oh, and I need to give this back to you.
No, keep it.
Bode, I'm still gonna be at your place.
Like, a lot. Especially 'cause the heater
in my new apartment sucks.
Well, I've got perfectly good
heat at my place.
You don't, you don't need to move out.
I do. I do. I need normal again.
I need to have my own place,
and my old job, and it's important.
- I'm gonna miss you.
- Good.
You're supposed to miss me.
Look, we get to enjoy the early,
fun stages of being a couple.
It's good.
You know, you can give this
back to me when it feels right.
Okay?
How'd it go with Luke?
What, he said no?
Why? He knows how talented you are.
He's I mean, he's seen it.
Yeah. Sacramento hasn't.
All they see are the darker
parts of my record.
I'm not sure they'll trust me
as REMS leader unless
they can see what I can
I can really do,
and that takes time.
So let them see you.
How many hours of Alone
have we watched?
Just just go get a GoPro or something.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY)
I like it.
- Body cam might be better.
- (CHUCKLES)
Look at us. Teamwork.
If they see the Bode that I see,
then they'll be all in on you, too.
JAKE: Close your eyes.
Picture our home.
A place where we can grow
our family and our careers.
Now open your eyes.
Violet, I love this life with you.
Will you marry me?
(AIR HISSING)
Oh, yeah. I'd say yes to that.
JAKE: Right?
That's also from a hot-air balloon.
Flying over 42 where we first met.
Where we had our first date.
Where I met Malcolm,
which she pushed me to do.
Needs a little more.
M-More than a hot-air balloon?
I'm talking about right here, man.
- Add some grit.
- All right.
For some traction.
Actually, is-is that really
what women want these days?
You know, big old grand
gestures, hot-air balloons
social media content?
Well, I mean, I hope so.
A date sets the tone
for the relationship, right?
All right.
Well, a proposal
well, that sets the tone for marriage.
And, baby, I want to go big, Papa.
Damn.
Now you got me rethinking
taking Camille to Smokey's
tonight for our date.
- (LAUGHS)
- I've got it.
Tulips. I mean,
it's not a hot-air balloon,
but I'll bring some tulips. Tulips are
cool, right?
Uh, it's a gesture.
(ALARM RINGING)
Okay. Uh, all right.
Look, double up on gloves, 42.
It's gonna be a cold one.
(WIND WHISTLING)
(GRUNTS)
Wow, that high school degree
sure is coming in handy, isn't it?
It's called a diploma, dumbass.
(LAUGHS) If he's a dumbass,
then you're a cheater.
We were playing poker. It's a skill.
You cleaned house four hands in a row.
- ZANE: Yeah?
- And you took everything I had.
That's cheating.
Hey. I wrote you guys up for gambling,
and now you're out here talking
about it. Clear the trail.
(WIND WHOOSHING)
All right. So the winds just did a 180
and the temps have dropped.
Ten degrees in 30 minutes.
Okay, so "watch-out 15"
is when the winds increase
and/or change direction.
We're getting hit
by a sudden frontal passage.
What's that?
It's a cold snap.
Which means that we need
to get out of here
before these conditions change.
Okay? Let's move.
Yes! (LAUGHS)
I'm freezing my nuts off.
Hey, why don't you
tuck those little baby nuts
up into your nice warm purse?
What did you just say?
(GRUNTS)
Let's go, high school diploma!
You got it right this time.
All right, let's drain
and winterize the pumps.
Man, now I've got you all in my head.
I mean, flowers and Smokey's,
that's a little too casual.
Hey. Tennepin's on Main.
Listen, you splurge on the seafood tower,
and you split the porterhouse.
End with the butter cake.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're taking Camille to Tennepin's?
You must like her.
I gotta try and make a reservation.
- Yup. Yup.
- (VIOLET LAUGHING)
So I have an idea.
And it might just be the cold
making me crazy, but
are you ready for crazy?
- Lay it on me.
- Okay,
I found a loophole to my job's
"conflict of interest" policy.
Um we get married.
And then we can both keep
our jobs and stay together.
I mean, I don't know why
I didn't think of it earlier.
Wait, did did you just
ask me to marry you?
Well, no. Yes.
I-I guess I did.
Getting married?
It's not, like, married-married.
It's just a piece of paper.
You fill out a form with
the county clerk and it's
it's really easy. It's like
renewing your driver's license.
I'm I'm sorry, but
I mean, did you just compare
getting married
to taking a trip to the DMV?
It's not really getting married, Jake.
But it is. Filing taxes together,
linking finances, life choices.
Okay, but don't you want those things?
Because we're about to move in together,
- so I
- Yes!
I want those things, and more.
Then why are we fighting?
Because I didn't want it like this.
I was just trying to
solve this for us, baby.
JAKE: Look, I
SHARON: Hey, gather up, 42.
Nice to see you.
(SIGHS)
So, county just issued an emergency alert
for a severe cold snap.
Ice accumulation on power lines
caused a widespread outage
in east Edgewater. That means
that our residents
are dealing with this cold
with no electricity, Chief.
SHARON:
And the last time we had
temperatures this low,
do you remember that we just
had nonstop house calls?
So I'm thinking, this time, why don't we
just open up the station
for a warming center?
We can do cots and a charging terminal
- hot food.
- Hot food.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.
I love it.
- Okay, let's get to it.
- All right, you heard her.
Let's do it.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
It's colder than cold out here, Cap.
Keep up, Z.
I don't want to have to
carry your ass down this trail.
Tex, enough.
He's holding us back, Cap.
Zane. Hey, you all right?
I'm not holding anyone back.
Whoa.
- (RUMBLING)
- Everybody stop! Stop!
ZANE: What the hell is this?
A frost heave.
It's like a landslide
but with ice underneath it.
Everybody, go uphill.
Cap!
(ALL SCREAMING)
(CRYING OUT)
♪
(DISTORTED GRUNTING)
EVE (ECHOING): Hey, Tex, you good?
I'm fine, Cap. Scrapes and bruises.
You hit your head hard.
- Zane.
- I'm doing all right.
Gunnar!
I'm hurting, Cap.
I landed in the creek.
Guys, get that jacket off of him.
- Copy.
- EVE: Hypothermia
in these temps with this moisture,
it's very serious.
(KILBANE GROANING)
Kilbane.
Oh, Kilbane. Hey. I'm coming.
You-you fell on your back.
Just try not to move, okay?
Stay nice and still.
- (PANTING): My chest.
- Yeah.
- I can't breathe.
- Okay.
You might have broken some ribs,
and punctured your lungs.
Okay. Greencrest, Three Rock, Crew 1.
Mount Silas.
Five of us fell into the ravine
on the east side of the four-mile marker.
Multiple traumas.
Cap, he's turning blue!
Okay, well just keep him
as dry as you can
with anything we got, all right?
Requesting evac immediately.
I got you.
It's all right, buddy.
MAN (OVER RADIO):
Copy, Three Rock, Crew 1.
(SHIVERING)
We got a multi-patient evac
on Mount Silas.
I got more intel if you're ready to roll.
I'm ready to lead.
Bode
You said Sacramento can't trust me.
- Yeah.
- So put eyes on me.
(SCOFFS) Body cams?
Make me REMS 1 today.
Let me show Sacramento who I am,
not who I was.
Show 'em what I can do.
Bode, it's Eve and Three Rock out there.
They fell 30 feet.
Are you sure this is the one
you want on record?
Even more so now.
All right, then.
(OVER VIDEO):
Show them what you got, kid.
BODE: Technical rescue
involving a fire camp crew.
I connected with Captain Edwards.
Our first extrication's gonna be the C.O.
What's his condition?
He's Red Priority 1. Barely responsive.
Get him on a vacuum spine board?
Yep. We're gonna stabilize him,
strap him in, reel him up.
Then we'll identify the next extrication
till we get everybody out of there.
Copy you, REMS 1.
Body cams? We on probation?
BODE: I am.
So make me look good.
We're already maxed out.
We're about to run out of blankets.
- Call Gil, ASAP.
- Copy, Chief.
Chief. Hi.
Guess you're the one I thank for
setting up this warming center.
So thanks.
(LAUGHS)
And is there somewhere I can
charge my mom's oxygen concentrator?
- Yeah. Come with me.
- Thanks.
You're you're popular.
Oh, well, it's not a good thing.
Just means that a lot of people
are struggling.
Well, and getting help because of you.
(LAUGHS) Uh, it's right here.
Great. Thanks.
And how long can, uh,
can we use the power?
Oh, as long as you want.
Don't worry about it.
You're the taxpayer.
You pay the electric bill.
(LAUGHS) Well, thanks again.
And what was your name?
Chief Leone. Sharon.
Sharon.
That has a nice ring to it.
I'm Craig.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
That guy wanted more than a power outlet.
He was totally hitting on you.
He was not hitting on me.
I wear a wedding ring.
Yeah, well, some people
find that irresistible.
Not good people.
- I didn't say good people.
- Oh, my God.
- Go.
- I'm watching you.
We have hot food over here,
there's a power supply right over here.
And please, just one blanket
per family, all right?
Hey, Camille. What a pleasant surprise.
But, uh
You're working.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Dinner's off the table.
But I just I finished
a brutal shift at the hospital
and, uh, we had a supply overflow.
Thought you guys could
maybe use some of this stuff.
There's non-rebreather masks,
got, uh, hand warmers, blankets.
It's like you read my mind.
Well, it's it's selfish really, right?
Better to deal with the issues here
before they make it to the
- To the hospital.
- Hospital. Yeah.
Let them become my problems
before they become your problems.
- Exactly.
- Hey, listen,
are you sure you're not upset
about dinner being off?
No. There's a cold snap.
Who would be upset about that?
I don't know, only every woman
I ever dated.
Yeah Well, yeah, you know what?
Same. Same. Every man I've ever dated.
But hey, look at us now.
Couple first responders, just
on the same page.
I'm gonna go get these to the people.
- All right. Oh, wait, hey, hey.
- Okay.
Hold on, hold on.
Fruit cup. Since we couldn't have dinner.
For dinner? For dinner.
- For dinner.
- Okay.
♪
Copter 105, REMS 1 on the ground.
- EVE: Hey, Bode!
- PILOT: Copy, REMS 1.
He impacted his spine.
Might have broken some ribs,
but no loss of motor control.
Shortness of breath for how long?
30 minutes, I-I think.
I I'm not sure.
I hit my head on the fall.
ELEANOR: Bode, coming up.
BODE: Eleanor.
Captain Edwards
needs a neuro check.
No, Bode, wait on me. Check on Gunnar.
- He's wet and hypothermic.
- BODE: Yeah. Go ahead.
This is a power blanket, it
should keep you warm in no time.
BODE: Bring over the basket!
Tex! Zane! Hands!
We're 'bout to get
our blankets first, Cap.
The captain just gave you
an order. Hands! Now!
I swear, these guys haven't
listened to me all day.
- Here we go.
- Go.
BODE: All right.
Three, two, one.
Lift.
(ALL GRUNTING)
Come on, let's go.
(ALL GRUNTING)
- Let's get him out of here.
- Come on. Lift.
All right, we'll evac the rest
in order of medical need.
Gunnar first.
Oh, hallelujah.
Eve.
- And then you two.
- Copy.
REMS 1, I'm clipped in, ready to raise.
PILOT: Copy that. Stand by.
Copter 105, Leaf
and the basket are on line.
Can we hoist?
PILOT: Copy, REMS 1, hoisting.
But be advised, we got ice buildup
on the lead edge of the rotors.
We can't sit
in the air much longer.
If those rotors fail,
that helicopter's coming down.
Copter's already unstable.
What? Wait, they can't leave us here.
PILOT:
REMS 1, how should we proceed?
Can't they send us another chopper?
No, not in this weather.
Your call, Leone.
Not worth the risk.
We gotta tough it out.
Copter 105, return to base.
PILOT: REMS 1, returning to base.
Copy that.
Now what, Bode?
Chief Leone, REMS 1.
What's the ETA on it being safe enough
for aircraft to spin up again?
I'd love to give it to you, REMS 1,
but a no-fly order has
just gone into effect.
I'm looking at the forecast now,
it could be hours,
it could be days.
Do a risk assessment,
decide if you want to wait it out,
or if you're gonna try to hike out.
The choice is yours.
So I'm guessing it's bad news.
All helos are now grounded
till this weather passes.
They could have stayed.
Like, two extra minutes?
At least for Gunnar?
If it was Cal Fire
that was stuck out here,
they'd sure as hell find a way out.
Hey! Three Rock is a part
of Cal Fire. All right?
Bode used to be one of you guys.
He knows better than anyone here.
Seems like he forgot where he came from.
I promise you, I haven't.
Then why'd you let that copter leave?
If I didn't, it would have crashed,
taking everyone inside along with it.
If I waited to debate it, same outcome.
We could start hiking down,
put Gunnar on a sked.
BODE: Too far.
With this temperature and
that distance, doesn't end well.
What's the call, boss?
Take what nature's given us.
Shelter in place, right here
by that tree. Ride it out.
(SHIVERING): You want to stay here?
- Are you for real?
- ZANE: Come on, man,
- it's getting dark.
- TEX: If that's the move,
let me look into your "Bode cam"
and say goodbye to my loved ones.
BODE: Listen, our options
are limited and risky.
I picked the safest one.
There's a million things
out here that can kill us.
This isn't a Q&A. I'm giving an order.
We gotta move fast.
Rocco, stay here with Gunnar.
Zane, Tex, go find some rocks
and some kindling.
Eve, Eleanor, check the packs
for anything we can use.
Go.
I gotta say, I'm glad I'm not
REMS 1 with this peanut gallery.
Oh! Craig. (LAUGHS)
- You scared me.
- Sorry.
Yeah, it's not my desired effect.
- (LAUGHS)
- There's a spill.
It's a safety hazard.
I'm happy to take care of it
if you could just
point me towards your paper towels.
Oh, yeah, they should be right here.
Ooh, one-ply.
Y'all deserve better than that.
Well, what we deserve
and what we get here
are two totally different things.
- Oh, look, here they are.
- Here, let me.
Ah.
- Anything else?
- (CHUCKLES)
Well, if I still smoked, a cigarette.
(BOTH LAUGH)
No, I just, I need a break from my mom.
I can't listen to her recap
her latest church drama. Again.
Oh. (LAUGHS)
I'm a I'm a terrible son.
Oh, no, please,
I blew off my mother for, like,
the last ten years.
Uh, I don't smoke because, you know,
my lungs take a beating here as it is.
Oh, my God.
TEX: Come on, Zane.
It looks like you've made
no progress at all, man.
- What is this?
- Thanks for your help, buddy.
Yeah, too heavy for your noodle arms?
Your noodle brain just
dropped those logs on my foot!
Hey, it's already dark.
Gunnar needs warmth.
Stop fighting. Get to work.
(EVE RETCHING)
- TEX: Cap, you all right?
- (COUGHING)
Okay, that's enough
work for you. Eleanor?
Yeah, I got her.
ELEANOR: London.
Graveyard. Turtle.
Baby.
Repeat that back to me.
Uh London graveyard turtle
Look, I really need to go
check on my guys.
- Hey.
- Look, I'm not gonna
exert myself,
I'm just gonna sideline coach
and I'll just make sure
that they're not acting up.
- That's it.
- It's okay.
Bode is all over it.
Ah! Mm.
Yeah, that's a gnarly knot.
You still never finished that list.
Ugh! I'd rather not.
You know I need you to keep talking to me
to make sure your concussion's
not getting worse.
Look, it's fine.
(SIGHS) I just don't like
talking about babies, that's all.
My ex moved on with one.
Is that the concussion talking?
No. No, it's just, I don't
It's a lot to explain.
I got time. Listening to you
right now is my job.
I know that sucks, right?
- Hey.
- (LAUGHS)
Let me hear it.
- Make the story good.
- Yeah.
MANNY: Hey, Isaiah,
Ruth, how you guys doing?
I take it you lost power, too, huh?
We sure did. No, I was
out running errands
when Ruth called,
and our poor little space heater
wasn't cutting it, so we
thought it best to pop in here.
- Well, you came to the right place.
- Yeah.
- It's so cold.
- Hmm.
The errands did you
finish the errands, Isaiah?
Well, we still need to
get birdseed, honeypot,
but when the roads are safe. Hmm?
Hey, Ruthie.
- Is she okay?
- Yeah, more than.
My girl ran the Eel River 5K,
like, two days ago.
- My shoes
- Yeah?
- RUTH: At the door
- ISAIAH: Honeypot?
Are you okay?
You said a space heater, right?
Well, I thought you guys lost power, too.
Well, it's a small space heater.
A kerosene.
Uh-huh.
Hey, Ruth, do you want to, uh,
talk to me about that 5K you ran?
You know, I heard you were
top of your age bracket.
What's wrong here?
- Carbon monoxide poisoning.
- MANNY: Carbon monoxide.
High-flow O2 and a non-rebreather.
Yep. Yep. I'm on it.
Greencrest, Battalion 1508.
Station 42, we need
an ambulance here, emergent.
- MAN: Copy that, 1508.
- Ruth, honey.
(FLINT STRIKING)
ZANE: There we go. Let there be light.
Zane, toss some of those logs on there.
TEX: Hey. Move.
No. I need the heat.
You're basically sitting on my foot.
I-I can't feel my fingers.
Hey, I'm not gonna tell you again.
Move or I'll clean your clock.
Hey, guys. Knock it off.
You knuckle-dragging moron.
Can't understand the concept of
body warmth. Closer is better.
Call me stupid again.
- Stupid!
- I dare you!
- You're stupid!
- Get off! Get off him!
What are you guys doing? Huh?
Stop acting all high and mighty.
You let that chopper abandon us.
- Zane, sit down.
- No.
You chose Kilbane over us. You know why?
Because you guys, you're all
like the rest of the world now,
thinking, yeah, they're
expendable. Well, we're not!
We're not expendable!
Hey, Zane. We're here with you!
We're working together,
that's what we're doing.
I'll try my chances somewhere else.
Zane!
(WIND WHISTLING)
- Zane!
- EVE: Bode, you got eyes on him?
Zane! Wait! Come back.
- (GRUNTING)
- Zane! Stop!
Zane! Zane, stop!
Zane! Zane, stop! Stop!
Hey!
What the hell are you doing, man?
I can't be on this mountain anymore.
Where are you going?
Getting away from Tex.
Tells me I suck.
I'm holding the whole team back.
He's wrong about that.
I Look, I-I didn't want
to freak everybody out earlier,
but hiking out here in this
temperature is a death wish.
It doesn't matter.
I'm dead already.
You got me on camera going AWOL.
I turned it off.
I didn't want anybody seeing
something they shouldn't.
You turned your body cam off?
Can't you get in trouble?
With your chief or something?
Yeah, sure.
But I know how these kinds of things,
they can be used against you.
You know, people only get to see
a little glimpse of the story.
Not the whole story.
Look.
Look, man
I told you, I'll never forget
where I came from.
I'm walking back. You coming?
Yeah. I'm coming.
(SIREN WAILING)
(BEEPING STEADILY)
Okay, her vitals are good.
Oh, no, no, no, my love, leave that on.
You rest. I'm here.
It's a good thing she's waking up.
We haven't spent a night apart
since I got back from Vietnam.
Wow. You guys have been together
for a long time.
I got drafted, so we got married.
Spent my honeymoon at boot camp.
Hey, do you mind if I ask
how did you propose?
Wasn't much.
Before I shipped out, I
I was losing hope.
The day before I left,
I got my head out of my ass
and realized I want
to stay alive. For her.
So I asked her. Nothing fancy.
I said "I love you.
And I'm gonna come back alive
so I can love you more."
Pretty simple.
Yeah.
(WIND WHISTLING)
BODE (OVER RADIO):
I'm on my way back with Zane.
You see, I told you he'd bring him back.
Yeah. All right.
Hey. Hey. No sleeping. Remember?
Plus, you were just getting
to the good part.
Francine wanted a kid, you didn't.
Ah, yes, and then I ended up
getting 20 of 'em.
- Firefighters.
- Doofuses.
(LAUGHS)
I mean, not always.
It's just oh, my God
they are working my last damn nerve.
To the point where
you're jealous of a baby.
Yeah, and I don't want to
be jealous of a baby.
So what do you want?
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) To be happy for Francine.
- But I
- You don't know how.
Mm.
High school.
My friend Andrea French, she beat me out
by, like, half a letter grade
for valedictorian.
- Oh, I was pissed.
- (LAUGHS)
And jealous. But it just, it felt gross
having those feelings about my friend.
So what'd you do?
Complimented her graduation speech,
helped her do her hair for the ceremony.
Okay, so you were happy for her.
No. No, no, no. It was fake.
- Oh.
- At first,
but eventually it felt real.
Hmm. Well, then it worked.
A little too well.
We ended up making out at
the Fourth of July bonfire
- that summer.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Just be happy for her however you can.
Even if it hurts at first,
it won't forever.
Zane. Eat up.
Even after that idiot move?
- He gets chili and beans?
- EVE: Shut up.
Because y'all need to put
your beef to the side
'cause we're in a shelter on
the side of a damn mountain.
Beef started before the mountain, Cap.
Well, it ends here.
Right now.
You two need to stop
putting each other down.
Trust me, the rest of the world
is gonna do that for you.
You want to be seen as firefighters?
Be a team.
Let's go, let's air this out right now.
Come on, what's the issue?
He called me stupid.
And I'm not stupid.
Maybe he thinks a little bit
faster than I do, but
I-I shouldn't have called you that.
It's not true.
Sorry.
EVE: All right, y'all.
So we're good?
We're done with all this?
Yeah.
- Yeah. Sorry, Cap.
- We didn't mean nothing by it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Careful, careful.
ROCCO: He's tachycardic.
Abdomen is distended.
Yeah, he must have some
internal bleeding from the fall.
Wasn't presenting
because he was hypothermic.
- Can you help him?
- BODE: No, not out here.
Gunnar needs surgery.
Chief Leone, REMS 1.
Our minor patient has now
upgraded to Red Priority 1,
requesting an immediate evac.
Uh, negative. Conditions are
still too dangerous.
Gunnar has internal bleeding,
he needs a hospital.
Uncle Luke, please.
Whatever it takes,
we need out of here.
Okay, there is a window
where winds will abate,
but it's not enough for a ropes rescue.
Hang on.
All right, I'm seeing a clearing about
a mile and a half due east
of your position.
It's high risk, but if you
can get there quick,
I could send in a helicopter
for a landing.
A mile and a half?
Gunnar, he's not gonna survive that.
We need a closer LZ.
Well, then you better find me one, Bode,
'cause I'm not seeing it.
Copy. I'll get back to you.

Tex, Zane, grab your packs, come with me.
Eleanor, Eleanor, you and Rocco,

ZANE: How big are we talking?
Ideally about 200 by 200 feet.
TEX: All these trees might

ETA is 20 minutes.
Gonna need the coordinates
for that landing zone.
Copy on the copter.
Use our current
GPS coordinates for the LZ.
I-I don't see a clearing.
You're right.
We don't have time
to find a landing zone.
So what are we gonna do, boss?

they can see what I can

Just just go get a GoPro or something.

which she pushed me to do.
Needs a little more.
M-More than a hot-air balloon?
I'm talking about right here, man.
- Add some grit.
- All right.
For some traction.
Actually, is-is that really
what women want these days?
You know, big old grand
gestures, hot-air balloons

Well, I mean, I hope so.
A date sets the tone

That's cheating.
Hey. I wrote you guys up for gambling,

All right. So the winds just did a 180

Ten degrees in 30 minutes.
Okay, so "watch-out 15"
is when the winds increase
and/or change direction.
We're getting hit
by a sudden frontal passage.
What's that?
It's a cold snap.
Which means that we need
to get out of here
before these conditions change.
Okay? Let's move.
Yes! (LAUGHS)

Hey, why don't you
tuck those little baby nuts
up into your nice warm purse?

Hey. Tennepin's on Main.

You're taking Camille to Tennepin's?
You must like her.
I gotta try and make a reservation.
- Yup. Yup.

So I have an idea.
And it might just be the cold
making me crazy, but
are you ready for crazy?
- Lay it on me.
- Okay,
I found a loophole to my job's
"conflict of interest" policy.
Um we get married.
And then we can both keep
our jobs and stay together.
I mean, I don't know why
I didn't think of it earlier.
Wait, did did you just
ask me to marry you?
Well, no. Yes.
I-I guess I did.
Getting married?
It's not, like, married-married.
It's just a piece of paper.
You fill out a form with
the county clerk and it's
it's really easy. It's like
renewing your driver's license.
I'm I'm sorry, but
I mean, did you just compare
getting married
to taking a trip to the DMV?
It's not really getting married, Jake.
But it is. Filing taxes together,
linking finances, life choices.
Okay, but don't you want those things?
Because we're about to move in together,
- so I
- Yes!
I want those things, and more.
Then why are we fighting?
Because I didn't want it like this.
I was just trying to
solve this for us, baby.
JAKE: Look, I

SHARON:
And the last time we had
temperatures this low,
do you remember that we just
had nonstop house calls?
So I'm thinking, this time, why don't we
just open up the station
for a warming center?
We can do cots and a charging terminal

30 minutes, I-I think.
I I'm not sure.
I hit my head on the fall.
ELEANOR: Bode, coming up.
BODE: Eleanor.
Captain Edwards
needs a neuro check.
No, Bode, wait on me. Check on Gunnar.
- He's wet and hypothermic.
- BODE: Yeah. Go ahead.
This is a power blanket, it
should keep you warm in no time.
BODE: Bring over the basket!
Tex! Zane! Hands!
We're 'bout to get
our blankets first, Cap.
The captain just gave you
an order. Hands! Now!
I swear, these guys haven't
listened to me all day.
- Here we go.
- Go.
BODE: All right.
Three, two, one.
Lift.
(ALL GRUNTING)
Come on, let's go.
(ALL GRUNTING)
- Let's get him out of here.
- Come on. Lift.
All right, we'll evac the rest
in order of medical need.
Gunnar first.
Oh, hallelujah.
Eve.
- And then you two.
- Copy.
REMS 1, I'm clipped in, ready to raise.
PILOT: Copy that. Stand by.
Copter 105, Leaf
and the basket are on line.
Can we hoist?
PILOT: Copy, REMS 1, hoisting.
But be advised, we got ice buildup
on the lead edge of the rotors.
We can't sit
in the air much longer.
If those rotors fail,
that helicopter's coming down.
Copter's already unstable.
What? Wait, they can't leave us here.
PILOT:
REMS 1, how should we proceed?
Can't they send us another chopper?
No, not in this weather.
Your call, Leone.
Not worth the risk.
We gotta tough it out.
Copter 105, return to base.
PILOT: REMS 1, returning to base.
Copy that.
Now what, Bode?
Chief Leone, REMS 1.
What's the ETA on it being safe enough
for aircraft to spin up again?
I'd love to give it to you, REMS 1,
but a no-fly order has
just gone into effect.
I'm looking at the forecast now,
it could be hours,
it could be days.
Do a risk assessment,
decide if you want to wait it out,
or if you're gonna try to hike out.
The choice is yours.
So I'm guessing it's bad news.
All helos are now grounded
till this weather passes.
They could have stayed.
Like, two extra minutes?
At least for Gunnar?
If it was Cal Fire
that was stuck out here,
they'd sure as hell find a way out.
Hey! Three Rock is a part
of Cal Fire. All right?
Bode used to be one of you guys.
He knows better than anyone here.
Seems like he forgot where he came from.
I promise you, I haven't.
Then why'd you let that copter leave?
If I didn't, it would have crashed,
taking everyone inside along with it.
If I waited to debate it, same outcome.
We could start hiking down,
put Gunnar on a sked.
BODE: Too far.
With this temperature and
that distance, doesn't end well.
What's the call, boss?
Take what nature's given us.
Shelter in place, right here
by that tree. Ride it out.
(SHIVERING): You want to stay here?
- Are you for real?
- ZANE: Come on, man,
- it's getting dark.
- TEX: If that's the move,
let me look into your "Bode cam"
and say goodbye to my loved ones.
BODE: Listen, our options
are limited and risky.
I picked the safest one.
There's a million things
out here that can kill us.
This isn't a Q&A. I'm giving an order.
We gotta move fast.
Rocco, stay here with Gunnar.
Zane, Tex, go find some rocks
and some kindling.
Eve, Eleanor, check the packs
for anything we can use.
Go.
I gotta say, I'm glad I'm not
REMS 1 with this peanut gallery.
Oh! Craig. (LAUGHS)
- You scared me.
- Sorry.
Yeah, it's not my desired effect.
- (LAUGHS)
- There's a spill.
It's a safety hazard.
I'm happy to take care of it
if you could just
point me towards your paper towels.
Oh, yeah, they should be right here.
Ooh, one-ply.
Y'all deserve better than that.
Well, what we deserve
and what we get here
are two totally different things.
- Oh, look, here they are.
- Here, let me.
Ah.
- Anything else?
- (CHUCKLES)
Well, if I still smoked, a cigarette.
(BOTH LAUGH)
No, I just, I need a break from my mom.
I can't listen to her recap
her latest church drama. Again.
Oh. (LAUGHS)
I'm a I'm a terrible son.
Oh, no, please,
I blew off my mother for, like,
the last ten years.
Uh, I don't smoke because, you know,
my lungs take a beating here as it is.
Oh, my God.
TEX: Come on, Zane.
It looks like you've made
no progress at all, man.
- What is this?
- Thanks for your help, buddy.
Yeah, too heavy for your noodle arms?
Your noodle brain just
dropped those logs on my foot!
Hey, it's already dark.
Gunnar needs warmth.
Stop fighting. Get to work.
(EVE RETCHING)
- TEX: Cap, you all right?
- (COUGHING)
Okay, that's enough
work for you. Eleanor?
Yeah, I got her.
ELEANOR: London.
Graveyard. Turtle.
Baby.
Repeat that back to me.
Uh London graveyard turtle
Look, I really need to go
check on my guys.
- Hey.
- Look, I'm not gonna
exert myself,
I'm just gonna sideline coach
and I'll just make sure
that they're not acting up.
- That's it.
- It's okay.
Bode is all over it.
Ah! Mm.
Yeah, that's a gnarly knot.
You still never finished that list.
Ugh! I'd rather not.
You know I need you to keep talking to me
to make sure your concussion's
not getting worse.
Look, it's fine.
(SIGHS) I just don't like
talking about babies, that's all.
My ex moved on with one.
Is that the concussion talking?
No. No, it's just, I don't
It's a lot to explain.
I got time. Listening to you
right now is my job.
I know that sucks, right?
- Hey.
- (LAUGHS)
Let me hear it.
- Make the story good.
- Yeah.
MANNY: Hey, Isaiah,
Ruth, how you guys doing?
I take it you lost power, too, huh?
We sure did. No, I was
out running errands
when Ruth called,
and our poor little space heater
wasn't cutting it, so we
thought it best to pop in here.
- Well, you came to the right place.
- Yeah.
- It's so cold.
- Hmm.
The errands did you
finish the errands, Isaiah?
Well, we still need to
get birdseed, honeypot,
but when the roads are safe. Hmm?
Hey, Ruthie.
- Is she okay?
- Yeah, more than.
My girl ran the Eel River 5K,
like, two days ago.
- My shoes
- Yeah?
- RUTH: At the door
- ISAIAH: Honeypot?
Are you okay?
You said a space heater, right?
Well, I thought you guys lost power, too.
Well, it's a small space heater.
A kerosene.
Uh-huh.
Hey, Ruth, do you want to, uh,
talk to me about that 5K you ran?
You know, I heard you were
top of your age bracket.
What's wrong here?
- Carbon monoxide poisoning.
- MANNY: Carbon monoxide.
High-flow O2 and a non-rebreather.
Yep. Yep. I'm on it.
Greencrest, Battalion 1508.
Station 42, we need
an ambulance here, emergent.
- MAN: Copy that, 1508.
- Ruth, honey.
(FLINT STRIKING)
ZANE: There we go. Let there be light.
Zane, toss some of those logs on there.
TEX: Hey. Move.
No. I need the heat.
You're basically sitting on my foot.
I-I can't feel my fingers.
Hey, I'm not gonna tell you again.
Move or I'll clean your clock.
Hey, guys. Knock it off.
You knuckle-dragging moron.
Can't understand the concept of
body warmth. Closer is better.
Call me stupid again.
- Stupid!
- I dare you!
- You're stupid!
- Get off! Get off him!
What are you guys doing? Huh?
Stop acting all high and mighty.
You let that chopper abandon us.
- Zane, sit down.
- No.
You chose Kilbane over us. You know why?
Because you guys, you're all
like the rest of the world now,
thinking, yeah, they're
expendable. Well, we're not!
We're not expendable!
Hey, Zane. We're here with you!
We're working together,
that's what we're doing.
I'll try my chances somewhere else.
Zane!
(WIND WHISTLING)
- Zane!
- EVE: Bode, you got eyes on him?
Zane! Wait! Come back.
- (GRUNTING)
- Zane! Stop!
Zane! Zane, stop!
Zane! Zane, stop! Stop!
Hey!
What the hell are you doing, man?
I can't be on this mountain anymore.
Where are you going?
Getting away from Tex.
Tells me I suck.
I'm holding the whole team back.
He's wrong about that.
I Look, I-I didn't want
to freak everybody out earlier,
but hiking out here in this
temperature is a death wish.
It doesn't matter.
I'm dead already.
You got me on camera going AWOL.
I turned it off.
I didn't want anybody seeing
something they shouldn't.
You turned your body cam off?
Can't you get in trouble?
With your chief or something?
Yeah, sure.
But I know how these kinds of things,
they can be used against you.
You know, people only get to see
a little glimpse of the story.
Not the whole story.
Look.
Look, man
I told you, I'll never forget
where I came from.
I'm walking back. You coming?
Yeah. I'm coming.
(SIREN WAILING)
(BEEPING STEADILY)
Okay, her vitals are good.
Oh, no, no, no, my love, leave that on.
You rest. I'm here.
It's a good thing she's waking up.
We haven't spent a night apart
since I got back from Vietnam.
Wow. You guys have been together
for a long time.
I got drafted, so we got married.
Spent my honeymoon at boot camp.
Hey, do you mind if I ask
how did you propose?
Wasn't much.
Before I shipped out, I
I was losing hope.
The day before I left,
I got my head out of my ass
and realized I want
to stay alive. For her.
So I asked her. Nothing fancy.
I said "I love you.
And I'm gonna come back alive
so I can love you more."
Pretty simple.
Yeah.
(WIND WHISTLING)
BODE (OVER RADIO):
I'm on my way back with Zane.
You see, I told you he'd bring him back.
Yeah. All right.
Hey. Hey. No sleeping. Remember?
Plus, you were just getting
to the good part.
Francine wanted a kid, you didn't.
Ah, yes, and then I ended up
getting 20 of 'em.
- Firefighters.
- Doofuses.
(LAUGHS)
I mean, not always.
It's just oh, my God
they are working my last damn nerve.
To the point where
you're jealous of a baby.
Yeah, and I don't want to
be jealous of a baby.
So what do you want?
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) To be happy for Francine.
- But I
- You don't know how.
Mm.
High school.
My friend Andrea French, she beat me out
by, like, half a letter grade
for valedictorian.
- Oh, I was pissed.
- (LAUGHS)
And jealous. But it just, it felt gross
having those feelings about my friend.
So what'd you do?
Complimented her graduation speech,
helped her do her hair for the ceremony.
Okay, so you were happy for her.
No. No, no, no. It was fake.
- Oh.
- At first,
but eventually it felt real.
Hmm. Well, then it worked.
A little too well.
We ended up making out at
the Fourth of July bonfire
- that summer.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Just be happy for her however you can.
Even if it hurts at first,
it won't forever.
Zane. Eat up.
Even after that idiot move?
- He gets chili and beans?
- EVE: Shut up.
Because y'all need to put
your beef to the side
'cause we're in a shelter on
the side of a damn mountain.
Beef started before the mountain, Cap.
Well, it ends here.
Right now.
You two need to stop
putting each other down.
Trust me, the rest of the world
is gonna do that for you.
You want to be seen as firefighters?
Be a team.
Let's go, let's air this out right now.
Come on, what's the issue?
He called me stupid.
And I'm not stupid.
Maybe he thinks a little bit
faster than I do, but
I-I shouldn't have called you that.
It's not true.
Sorry.
EVE: All right, y'all.
So we're good?
We're done with all this?
Yeah.
- Yeah. Sorry, Cap.
- We didn't mean nothing by it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Careful, careful.
ROCCO: He's tachycardic.
Abdomen is distended.
Yeah, he must have some
internal bleeding from the fall.
Wasn't presenting
because he was hypothermic.
- Can you help him?
- BODE: No, not out here.
Gunnar needs surgery.
Chief Leone, REMS 1.
Our minor patient has now
upgraded to Red Priority 1,
requesting an immediate evac.
Uh, negative. Conditions are
still too dangerous.
Gunnar has internal bleeding,
he needs a hospital.
Uncle Luke, please.
Whatever it takes,
we need out of here.
Okay, there is a window
where winds will abate,
but it's not enough for a ropes rescue.
Hang on.
All right, I'm seeing a clearing about
a mile and a half due east
of your position.
It's high risk, but if you
can get there quick,
I could send in a helicopter
for a landing.
A mile and a half?
Gunnar, he's not gonna survive that.
We need a closer LZ.
Well, then you better find me one, Bode,
'cause I'm not seeing it.
Copy. I'll get back to you.
(SIGHS)
Tex, Zane, grab your packs, come with me.
Eleanor, Eleanor, you and Rocco,
you're gonna stay here
- and keep Gunnar warm. Okay?
- Copy.
- ZANE: What are we looking for?
- A clearing.
ZANE: How big are we talking?
Ideally about 200 by 200 feet.
TEX: All these trees might
have an opinion about that.
LUKE: REMS 1, Chief Leone,
dispatching that copter.
ETA is 20 minutes.
Gonna need the coordinates
for that landing zone.
Copy on the copter.
Use our current
GPS coordinates for the LZ.
I-I don't see a clearing.
You're right.
We don't have time
to find a landing zone.
So what are we gonna do, boss?
We do what Three Rockers do.
As a team.
Fire up your saws.
We need a landing zone?
We make one.

- Yes!

- What guy?
- CRAIG: Hi.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Hi.
I, uh really enjoyed our conversation.
- And I had a proposition
- I can't.
You're gonna be the most
perfect person for someone,
you are so nice to your mom

and paper towels.
I just, I'm not that person,
I'm so sorry.
Um my-my proposition was that I

paper goods and office supplies.
I-I'm a sales rep.
Oh.
- I-I'm gonna

Thanks, Craig.

No. No, he was trying to get my business.
Why do I ever listen to you?
- I
- You know what? It's
it's great, because I
I didn't just say no 'cause it
was out of the question, I
I said no 'cause he wasn't my type.

Do we have any?

I'm teaching him how to study.
Turns out our boy is motivated by sugar.
Okay. (LAUGHS)
How you doing? How's Gunnar?
Uh, I'm on the mend, and Gunnar,
he just got out of surgery.
He had a simple splenic artery repair,
so he'll be back in a couple weeks.
And the spleen is the organ that?
Filters blood.
Come on. Yeah, T-money!
- Ah!
- Ah!
Next time, next time

EVE: All right, all right.
Well, once y'all get out

- We got you. Okay, okay, okay.
- History?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- All right, who's next, who's next?
- All right, talk to me.
- Kinetic energy?
TEX: Uh, the energy of movement.
ZANE: Boom. Let me go. Pow!
- Whoo!
- Whoo! That was a good one!
Perception, man.
It is a hell of a thing.
Looking at that little piece
of rock and steel,
you might not expect too much
out of it, huh?
Kept us alive.
That is the whole job.
Yeah, but it's not the whole picture.

Oh, but there's one thing
you're gonna have to explain

I didn't want Zane
to come off the wrong way.
Perceptions and all.
Right. Or
maybe, uh, you accidentally
bumped into the off switch

It's a simple mistake.
