LUKE: Ten years ago
What the hell you doing in my house?
a homeowner by the name
of Danny Marks
alleges that you broke into his house.
If you cop to this, there's
a damn good chance
you'll go back to prison.
- Is that a yes?
- I'll get the surgery.
Good.
Marry me.
I love you.
Yes.
I'm sorry to ambush you like this.
You're ready for more, huh?
Yeah, I want a lot more. [CHUCKLES]
I'm into you.
I'm into you, too.
Danny Marks' number.
Danny Marks?
This is Bode Leone.
♪
All right.
So, my mom's flight's still delayed,
but she gave
very detailed instructions
on what to do with these.
"Don't let the hydrangeas
overpower the eucalyptus."
What does that mean?
- Wow.
- JAKE: I have no idea.
Uh, it's really anyone's guess.
- [LAUGHS]
- VIOLET: Ooh.
Dance with me?
Um, well, shouldn't we save this
for tomorrow?
No. No, no, no. Come on.
- Okay
- That's a different kind of dancing.
- [EXCLAIMS]
- Mind your business.
- Mind your business.
- You better be saving that.
- Oh, y'all want a little arms?
- Hey!
- A little preview.
- Uh-huh.
- Yep.
- [LAUGHTER]
Yeah, look.
Superman's really
getting married, y'all.
- CHLOE: Mm.
- Somehow he pulled it off first.
I don't know how he did that.
The way you sparkle
like a diamond ring ♪
- Uh, hey, Chloe?
- Yes.
Do you know where Eleanor's sitting?
Yeah. Why?
No reason. I was just
I was just I was just asking.
Well, it kind of feels
like there might be a reason.
Oh. It's a juicy reason.
[LAUGHS] Yeah, we hooked up
after Jake's bachelor party.
And I wanted to see
whether or not I could bring her
- to the wedding tomorrow.
- Oh, that's so sweet.
But she's already coming
to the wedding.
Yeah. No, but, like, as my plus-one.
Like, as my date.
Jake sent her
her own invitation. I don't
Yeah, bro, I get it.
Oh, my God. Captain Obvious.
- No, I'm just
- We had a really good time,
and I really like her,
and I thought maybe
I could make it
a little more official.
But, you know,
you're being super unhelpful.
- Yours is good. Unhelpful.
- Well Thank you.
EVE: So, I need to get
to Three Rock. Thank you.
- So I'll do that.
- CHLOE [LAUGHING]: No.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, my God.
Let me get out of here.
I'll work on it. [LAUGHS]
We should probably get going,
too. Danny's expecting me soon.
We don't have time
to join them for just one song?
- Rain check for tomorrow?
- Oh.
Okay.
All right. Okay.
Are you nervous
about making amends to Danny?
Even though Luke'll probably
kill me for going? No, I'm not.
It'd be completely normal if
you were a little bit nervous.
You know? 'Cause I am.
Oh, Chloe, if you'd have heard
Danny on the phone,
like the way that he sounded,
he-he needs this.
He needs me to sit down
with him, face-to-face,
and hear how sorry I am.
I just hope he believes me
and sees I've changed.
Are you kidding me?
If he sees a fraction
of what I see in you, he will.
Distribute the swift-water gear
between the rigs, please.
There's, uh, heavy rain
in the forecast tonight.
Sharon Leone decides
to leave town, and God weeps.
Pack this boat up
with extra canisters.
Don't you start weeping
when I come back from the trip
and want my job back.
You know, you never told me
where you were going
- when you called.
- Chief Leone?
Where do you keep the throw bags?
I want to attach them
to the dry suits.
Uh, top shelf, this bay.
That's a new face.
Yeah, that's Jake's
little brother Malcolm.
First day at 42.
He's motivated, respectful.
- Seems like a good kid.
- Yeah, who
I hired over Manny's head, but
he says he's willing
to give Malcolm a chance.
Hmm.
Is, uh, Bode off for Jake's wedding?
I haven't seen him.
He's off to make an amends
to someone that he hurt in his past.
Guy who commented on his video?
Thought Luke took care of that.
Yeah, but for whatever reason,
my son has a highly calibrated
moral compass.
[ALARM BLARING]
RICHARDS: Let's go, 42!
SHARON: Malcolm, let's move it along.
If I was a betting man, which
- which I'm not anymore, Cap
- Sure.
But if I was [LAUGHS]
I would bet on me getting out
before you. Way before you.
That's a weird way
to say congrats, man.
Congrats, my dude.
See, I made him a card,
and that's why I'm getting his bunk.
Hey, hey, bunk assignments are
in none of y'all's control.
Congrats, graduating man.
I'm happy for you, man.
How'd you swing it this time?
Those extracurricular credits
Cap encouraged us to sign up for
really paid off.
Plus, my curls looked good
for the parole board.
They not all that great.
But those snacks you got there,
we can use that.
Yeah. You mean this thing?
[CLAMORING]
[EXCITED CHATTER]
Look, man, just keep
cutting that line, okay?
Bring it in.
See you, buddy.
- Captain Edwards.
- Ace.
For you.
For the road, man.
Get out of here, bud.
Hey, make sure to get some
tighter jeans on the outside.
[OTHERS JEERING]
- EVE: Hey! Hey!
- I'll keep that bunk warm.
I know you're coming back!
115/75. You're still doing great.
Edgewater's beeping machines
could've told me the same thing.
Yeah, but Pineville's machines come
with a neurosurgery department.
Edgewater doesn't have that.
What's-what's going on?
Who's on the phone?
There's a fire at the Pineville Dam,
and local FD's tied up
on a hazmat call across town.
Well, your work commute
just got shorter.
No? That's right up the road.
- Mm.
- MANNY: Yeah.
But I promised you I'm gonna be here
for every step of your surgery.
Today is just gonna be a bunch
of tests and scans.
And it'll be boring.
So boring.
ROBERTA: For now, you can leave me
in the good, beautiful hands
of my ex-husband's new girlfriend.
[LAUGHING]
I'm not asking Camille to do that.
Why not?
Because it's kind of weird, for one,
and it's a lot to put on you.
I mean, what if something
went wrong while I was gone?
CAMILLE: I can step in
and will step in if she's not
getting the care she needs.
I'm offering, Manny.
Hey, I volunteered, okay?
Okay?
[WHISPERING]: She's got me.
You sure?
- Yeah.
- You promise that you're gonna
text me after every scan?
- Yes.
- Okay.
And you you hang in there, okay?
Oh, I have been waiting for these.
[LAUGHS] Margot dropped them off.
I can't believe
this is really happening.
I know.
You know what else
is really happening?
What?
Malcolm's first call at 42.
- Oh, wow.
- I know, right?
Oh, he started already.
I know. I know. I
Baby, I can't even believe
that I get to work
with all of my people.
I mean, you, Malcolm.
Baby, um, about Malcolm.
My firm had raised some concerns
about 42 and hiring him.
Concerns?
Just because of his injury,
and him failing his Drake County test,
members of my team flagged him
as a liability.
As a liability? Okay.
What does that even mean?
I know you love your brother,
and so do I.
But when it was all
laid out like that,
it-it even made me think
that maybe it's just too much,
or too soon for him.
First of all, Violet,
did you even stand up for him,
- or did you let the firm just spin a story?
- But
I don't know. It just feels like
you're taking sides.
There aren't sides here, Jake.
I'm trying to have
a conversation with you.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [VIOLET SCOFFS]
Greencrest, Battalion 1508.
Establishing I.C. at Pineville Dam.
I'll start my assessment
before the rest of 42 arrives.
[SIREN WAILING]
MAN: Hey! Get them away
from the generator!
Greencrest, I.C.
We got fire in the brush,
timber, and vehicles with exposures.
- DISPATCHER: Copy, I.C.
- Over here! Help us!
I'm Chief Manny Perez, Cal Fire.
You guys don't have a way out of here?
No, everything caught on fire
when the transformer exploded.
And the fire is blocking our exit
and ripping through the woods
toward the dam.
All right, I got tools in the
truck. I'll get you guys out.
And then you got to get Jimmy.
He was up there, working
on the transformer when
- when the shock knocked him out.
- All right, we'll get to Jimmy.
I'm gonna grab my gear.
I'll be right back.
Help's on the way, guys.
Get over there now.
♪
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Who is she?
Oh. Hi, Danny. I'm Chloe.
She a lawyer?
- No. No, she's just here for me.
- No.
Must be nice.
Danny, can can we come inside?
Okay.
[DOOR CREAKING]
What I did to you,
and everything
that's happened to you since
I can't I can't change that.
But I came here because I want
to try and do whatever I can
to make things right
I don't want an apology.
You-you you wanted to meet with me.
Mm-hmm.
I wanted you here so I could
watch you when you called them.
It's the Pineville Police Department.
What?
He wants me to turn myself in.
Bode, hey, you don't have to do that.
We can just leave, okay?
Hey, you're calling the damn cops.
You're calling 'em.
Danny, there's got to be
another way to work this out.
There's got to be something
that I can do
to make up for what I did to you.
Oh, you have no idea
what you did to me.
You're right.
Tell me.
You came into my home.
You left me for dead.
I still wake up thinking
you're in my house,
and you're gonna come find me again.
CHLOE: But this is
He's not the same guy anymore.
Danny, can I tell you what
he did for my son? My son.
What he does every day for-for
people, risking his life
I don't care what he does!
I care what he did!
I care that I haven't felt safe
a single damn day
since that night!
And I'm not gonna feel safe
until you are back behind bars.
So call the number.
What are you doing?
What I have to.
What Danny needs me to do.
Hi. Uh, my name is Bode Leone.
I need to speak with someone
about a crime
I committed ten years ago.
♪
[SIREN WAILING]
What's the update, Chief Perez?
MANNY: We're still freeing
victims from the substation,
but the flank of the fire is
spreading toward the powerhouse.
No. We lose the powerhouse,
we could harm
the infrastructure of the dam.
Greencrest, this is Division 1501.
I need Three Rock and an engine crew
at the Pineville Dam powerhouse.
DISPATCHER: Copy, Chief.
Dispatching Three Rock.
We got interrupted before.
Your vacation?
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- Hawaii? Antarctica?
Monument Valley.
And Bryce Canyon.
And we might even hit the Rockies.
We?
Yeah, me and some friends,
and Alexei.
- Alexei?
- [CHUCKLES]
- A friend.
- Mm.
You said some friends and Alexei,
meaning Alexei's not a friend?
I had a "not a friend" once.
Liz.
Who is Liz?
Some woman I met in line at the bank.
Runs an animal shelter.
All I'm saying is, I had Liz.
You have Alexei.
It's all part of the cycle.
Are we even speaking English?
I what does any of that mean?
Look at that, we are almost there.
You mind if I hang back, set up ops
and try to get
the dam supervisor on the phone?
Almost done, guys. All right.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Here you go.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Greencrest, Division 1501.
Assuming Pineville I.C.
Crawford, I want you
to start on the pump.
I want two inch-and-a-halfs
on that fire.
We have to get our patient
down from the lift.
- On it, Chief.
- Perez.
MANNY: You guys head
over to those firefighters
right over there. Watch your step.
There you go. Here you go.
Hey, Chief, this is,
uh, this is Waylon.
His team was working on the
transformer when it exploded.
WAYLON: The turbine
that feeds that substation
has been having issues all day.
- We came to check it out.
- SHARON: Okay,
and you ensured that the power
was off on the substation
before you got started?
We locked out, followed protocol.
SHARON: Okay. Then this blast
never should've happened.
Richards, get back on the phone
with that supervisor.
I want the power to the dam
shut down until the engineers
can figure out what's going on.
You shut down the dam,
Pineville loses hydropower.
Our grid can't sustain that
for too long.
It's just for a couple of hours.
If we don't take the precaution now,
things could get much worse later.
Come on, let's get you
checked out, all right?
I promise you, I'll make sure my team
gets to Jimmy as fast as we can.
He was gonna press charges
whether I turn myself in or not.
So
what happens next?
I'll probably get arrested.
Given my record
and what I did to Danny
I might go back to prison.
Chloe, look, if this is all
if this is too much for you
I totally I get it.
I just
I just want you to be happy.
[SIGHS]
I am happy.
I'm happy when I'm with you.
Whether you're behind bars or not.
I
I love you.
[PHONE ALARM BUZZING]
- Sorry, can you check that?
- Yeah.
CHLOE: It's dispatch.
The Pineville Dam Fire.
They're requesting
all personnel in the area.
I need you to drop me off
and bring the truck back.
Are you sure you-you should be
on a call after all that?
I can put away
what happened at Danny's.
And I'll tell everyone
after we put out this fire.
Guess I'm not getting
that dance tomorrow, huh?
[ENGINE REVVING]
[TIRES SCREECH]
[SIGHS] Line's on.
- FIREFIGHTER: Copy that.
- Nice work.
What are you doing here?
You've got a wedding to prep.
Ah, intake's good.
Wedding prep, not so much.
Violet and I, well,
we got into it, so
I thought I'd work it out by,
you know,
joining up with you on
your first day at our station.
What'd you do?
Why does it got to be my fault?
Have you met you?
MANNY: Hey, Malcolm.
Welcome to 42.
Uh, thank you, Chief Perez.
Look, I-I know my dumb brother
got me hired
behind your back, but
Just prove to me you deserve it.
Both of y'all.
All right. Hey.
- Charge line two.
- Yep.
[HISSING]
- Hey!
- [HISSING STOPS]
Man, what you doing?
That is line three.
Hey. You could've loaded the bed.
Must be shaking off
old station muscle memory.
Okay, look, just
just shake it off sooner, okay?
My bad. I'm sorry.
♪
[BRAKES SCREECH]
All right, everybody grab your tools
and head to the powerhouse.
ZANE: Yo, Ace is gonna be jealous
he missed this one.
Hey, Cap, take our pic.
Hey, boys, boys!
We are not disaster tourists, okay?
- Let's head to the powerhouse.
- [DISTANT ALARM SOUNDING]
What's happening?
D.C. Leone, these alarms
supposed to be going off?
SHARON [OVER RADIO]:
They're shutting down the dam.
My orders. Need you in position ASAP.
Copy that. Hey, y'all heard the chief.
Hey, grab your gloves,
grab your tools,
let's head to the powerhouse.
All right, we got to keep the fire
that's deep in those woods
from getting there.
So, we're cutting line, again?
Well, if we lose the powerhouse,
then the dam will be down
for weeks, if not longer.
And then Pineville, even Edgewater,
could lose power
for I don't know how long.
So, now that we know the goal,
what's the plan, y'all?
- Take it we don't have dozers?
- [SCOFFS]
When do we ever have dozers?
Eight-foot handline off the trail,
50 feet from the structure.
75, but you get the gist.
We're tying in, Three Rock.
Eleanor, I didn't think
we were working together today.
Hope you don't mind.
Chief Leone sent us this way.
- [ZANE CLEARS THROAT]
- Uh, all right.
Hey, First Saw, get 'em going.
Move, guys.
[OTHERS MURMURING]
MAN: What do we do?
What he means is, not a single ember
is jumping our line today.
Got it? Let's go.
- One, two
- ALL: Three Rock!
- One, two
- Three Rock!
Hey, he's, uh, missing
the seat of the flames there.
You sure he's good?
[SIGHS]
Malcolm?
What's up?
What, are, uh,
fires different in Drake County, too?
Aim lower.
I'm on it.
What do we got?
Uh, we got a patient suspended
up on that scissor lift,
they're unresponsive
and there's too much fire below
to reach him.
Didn't expect to see you so soon.
You already wrapped up with Danny?
JAKE: All right, Chief,
fire's out on the lift.
Time to get this guy down.
Damn it, these controls are melted.
- We got to find the pressure release valve.
- JAKE: Yeah, I'm on it.
BODE: He's still breathing.
Let's keep it that way.
Got it.
[HYDRAULICS HISSING]
[METAL CREAKING]
What the hell happened?
Think I see the problem.
Looks like a piece of transformer
got wedged into the arm.
Hey, guys, he's too close to the edge.
We got to get to him, now.
How long would it take
to get an aerial?
Closest one's 30-plus out.
BODE: All right.
I talked it through with Jake.
I can go up, pull Jimmy from the edge,
stabilize him
until we can get him down.
How'd things go with Danny?
I apologized,
told him I'd do whatever it took
to make amends.
- And that was it?
- Can we move on with my plan?
Sooner that I get started
Of course. Yep, here you go.
[PHONE CHIMES]
You, uh, keeping tabs
on another fire, B.C.?
No, it's just my girlfriend
updating me on my ex-wife's aneurysm
from her hospital bedside.
Sounds like a Mad Lib from hell.
You're the one who told me
to build a personal life.
I think my advice was to get a cat.
[CHUCKLES]: Oh, right.
Right, a cat.
EVE: All right, the smoke's coming in.
- Pick it up, fellas, pick it up!
- [SAW REVVING]
It's not just smoke.
The flank of the fire's on its way.
Well, you think we can hold it off?
I'm thinking back-burn,
before any of the fire
gets to the powerhouse.
We're fighting fire with fire?
- Not yet.
- Wait, why not?
Because we don't have
enough resources right now.
ELEANOR: I.C., requesting
permission for a back-burn
on location, and another hose team.
SHARON: Copy. I'll circle back.
Hey, so, what time are you
getting to the wedding tomorrow?
I'm gonna need someone to talk to
while Malcolm's
getting ready with Jake.
No, I was gonna ask you, uh,
you want me to pick you up?
You want to carpool?
Well, no, I wanted to take you,
as my plus-one.
You know I got
my own invitation, right?
Why does everybody keep
saying that? Yeah, I know that.
I just [CLEARS THROAT]
I wanted to go together.
Eve, I like you, and I had fun.
I just thought,
all that you had going on
with Francine, you just wanted
to have some fun, too, like
"all bed, no breakfast" type of thing.
But I can see that
I got that very wrong.
SHARON: Permission granted
for the back-burn,
but nearest engine's 30 minutes out.
Copy, Chief.
Hey, wait, we got to wait 30 minutes?
Cap, that fire's gonna be
so close by then.
Hey, look, that's how
things are sometimes, okay?
So, dig deep, fellas, all right?
Quit staring at me.
Dig deep, let's go!
Okay. I'll climb up,
start assessing Jimmy.
And once he's stable,
we can rig up the rope system.
All right. Arthur, we're gonna
need some more ropes over here.
What's this?
What's wrong with our radios?
These are voice-activated.
I need both hands free
when I'm up there.
Wow. REMS gets all the cool toys.
All right, I'm good to go.
All right. Free Solo.

JAKE: Hey, next hot spot.
And tighten that stream.
Malcolm, come on.
- Come on!
- Get off my back, bro.
"Bro"? Okay, let me make this
real clear for you.
Out here, I am not your bro.
I am your captain.
Do you understand me, Firefighter?
You've been breathing down
my neck all day.
Just let me work.
Then prove to me you can handle that.
What the hell does that mean?
It means that you have
been off today, Malcolm.
Giving Manny a reason to doubt you.
Dude, it's my first day.
Like I told you,
new station, new gear.
That's all.
BODE: Jimmy. Jimmy, can you hear me?
I'm here to help you.
Talk to me, Jimmy.
Hey.

- Patient's responsive, nonverbal.
I have a pulse. Breathing is heavy.
- [GROANS]
- Regular respirations.
Got burns to his torso
and shrapnel injuries.
[OVER RADIO]: Make sure we got
plenty of hemostatic gauze
and dressing.
MANNY: Copy. I'll send it up.
BODE:
I'm-a start packing these wounds,
hook him up to the AED.
The wounds look like
they're pretty deep.
It's gonna take a couple minutes
to pack the wounds
and stabilize for transport.
MANNY: Well, work fast.
I want both of you guys
off this platform

EVE: Zane!
Hey! Extinguish that torch right now.
ELEANOR:
I'm gonna get my guys to get a hose!
[INDISTINCT ARGUING]
How the hell did we get here?
I did it, Cap. Zane took it from me,
he tried to talk me out of it.
Talk you out of what?
Setting the back-burn.
He-he was trying to help.
You said that we didn't have
the resources, so I thought
And now the resources we have
are being stretched thin
to cover up your mistake.
With this wind, that fire could blow
all the way towards the
powerhouse.
Hey, Three Rock!
Get these spot fires!
Come on. Come on.
You're benched. Move.
You better hope
that we can clear this up.
ELEANOR: I don't think
this hose will cut it!
EVE: I.C., we have multiple spot fires
that are threatening the powerhouse.
I know you guys
are sending a hose team
to help with the back-burn, but
is there anyone that
you can spare at 42 right now?
The winds barely picked up.
How'd the fire spread
through the woods that fast?
Captain Crawford, what's your status?
JAKE: Substation fire's mopped up.
SHARON: We are having some
spotting up by the powerhouse.
Can you spare some support?
JAKE: Copy. Sending an engine.
Eve, 42's on the way.
You want to explain
how you lost a handle
on this fire all of a sudden?
After we snuff it out,
I promise you'll hear all about it.
[SIGHS]
Hmm.
All right, keep moving, Three Rock!
BODE: His bleeding's slowed down,
his wounds will be dressed soon,
and then it's spine board.
Copy on the spine board. [WHISTLES]

I talked it through with Jake.
I can go up, pull Jimmy from the edge,
stabilize him
until we can get him down.
How'd things go with Danny?
I apologized,
told him I'd do whatever it took
to make amends.
- And that was it?
- Can we move on with my plan?
Sooner that I get started
Of course. Yep, here you go.
[PHONE CHIMES]
You, uh, keeping tabs
on another fire, B.C.?
No, it's just my girlfriend
updating me on my ex-wife's aneurysm
from her hospital bedside.
Sounds like a Mad Lib from hell.
You're the one who told me
to build a personal life.
I think my advice was to get a cat.
[CHUCKLES]: Oh, right.
Right, a cat.
EVE: All right, the smoke's coming in.
- Pick it up, fellas, pick it up!
- [SAW REVVING]
It's not just smoke.
The flank of the fire's on its way.
Well, you think we can hold it off?
I'm thinking back-burn,
before any of the fire
gets to the powerhouse.
We're fighting fire with fire?
- Not yet.
- Wait, why not?
Because we don't have
enough resources right now.
ELEANOR: I.C., requesting
permission for a back-burn
on location, and another hose team.
SHARON: Copy. I'll circle back.
Hey, so, what time are you
getting to the wedding tomorrow?
I'm gonna need someone to talk to
while Malcolm's
getting ready with Jake.
No, I was gonna ask you, uh,
you want me to pick you up?
You want to carpool?
Well, no, I wanted to take you,
as my plus-one.
You know I got
my own invitation, right?
Why does everybody keep
saying that? Yeah, I know that.
I just [CLEARS THROAT]
I wanted to go together.
Eve, I like you, and I had fun.
I just thought,
all that you had going on
with Francine, you just wanted
to have some fun, too, like
"all bed, no breakfast" type of thing.
But I can see that
I got that very wrong.
SHARON: Permission granted
for the back-burn,
but nearest engine's 30 minutes out.
Copy, Chief.
Hey, wait, we got to wait 30 minutes?
Cap, that fire's gonna be
so close by then.
Hey, look, that's how
things are sometimes, okay?
So, dig deep, fellas, all right?
Quit staring at me.
Dig deep, let's go!
Okay. I'll climb up,
start assessing Jimmy.
And once he's stable,
we can rig up the rope system.
All right. Arthur, we're gonna
need some more ropes over here.
What's this?
What's wrong with our radios?
These are voice-activated.
I need both hands free
when I'm up there.
Wow. REMS gets all the cool toys.

I did it, Cap. Zane took it from me,
he tried to talk me out of it.
Talk you out of what?
Setting the back-burn.
He-he was trying to help.
You said that we didn't have
the resources, so I thought
And now the resources we have
are being stretched thin
to cover up your mistake.
With this wind, that fire could blow
all the way towards the
powerhouse.
Hey, Three Rock!
Get these spot fires!
Come on. Come on.
You're benched. Move.
You better hope
that we can clear this up.
ELEANOR: I don't think
this hose will cut it!
EVE: I.C., we have multiple spot fires
that are threatening the powerhouse.
I know you guys
are sending a hose team
to help with the back-burn, but
is there anyone that
you can spare at 42 right now?
The winds barely picked up.
How'd the fire spread
through the woods that fast?
Captain Crawford, what's your status?
JAKE: Substation fire's mopped up.
SHARON: We are having some
spotting up by the powerhouse.
Can you spare some support?
JAKE: Copy. Sending an engine.
Eve, 42's on the way.
You want to explain
how you lost a handle
on this fire all of a sudden?
