1
[ATHENA] That can't be
what I think it is.
- [SPARKS] It's lava.
- [HARVEY] Underground, it's magma, kid.
Yeah, well, whatever you call
it, we're not getting around it.
Well, we ain't going back
the way we came.
Hey, uh, how wide
do you think this gap is?
[ATHENA] I don't know. At least
- 20 feet?
- 22 feet.
Oh, hey! Don't you even
- think about it.
- What?
I know that face.
That's the look you get
when you're about
to do something stupid.
It's not stupid if it works!
- Hey, kid!
- Sparks!
- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
Aah!
Tonight, fire and brimstone
in the City of Angels,
as the volcano that began erupting
earlier today remains
in what scientists are calling
a fountaining stage, with
no signs at all of letting up.
But as we saw with the now
incinerated enclave of Soto Vista,
the only thing you can do about lava
is get out of the way.
The lava field is expanding fast.
Uh, expanding where?
We have to get ahead of this.
Right now what's ahead of it
is our biggest problem.
- Structure fires.
- [MELINDA] Embers are blowing
in front of the lava. At this rate,
University Park will burn
before it gets there.
Yeah. Well, we need
to get there faster.
Yes, sir, we're aware of the
fire at your son's dormitory,
but I don't know his whereabouts.
- Do you see flames in your room now?
- [PEYTON] Not yet.
But it's outside my window.
Help is already on scene.
They'll get to you. In the
meantime, the door to your room,
is it closed?
- Yeah. Should I run?
- No.
Keep it shut. It'll slow the fire.
Martinez, hit it from the ladder pipe.
Ravi, need those attack lines
going now.
Charging now.
[CHIMNEY] Let's keep moving,
keep moving, keep moving.
Let's go. Hit that corner there.
Keep moving. Buck,
update on search and rescue.
Alpha side is clear. Working on bravo.
Dispatch says there's
one on the second floor.
Copy that, Cap.
Cap, lava field incoming.
[PEYTON, COUGHING] Smoke's coming.
[COUGHS] Are they on their way?
[JOSH] They're coming, I promise.
But we need to buy some time.
- We're gonna seal your room, okay?
- Okay.
- How?
- Uh, find towels, sheets.
- Anything cloth.
- Oh
- T-shirts?
- Grab three.
Now we have to get them wet.
Does your room have a sink?
Uh, no, uh, the bathroom's
down the hall.
How about a water bottle?
[MUTTERING] Uh, yeah. I got it.
- I drank it all.
- Okay. You're in a dorm. I'm guessing
you have a mini fridge.
Yeah. Yeah, we have a mini fridge.
Good. Any liquid will do.
Uh, soda, energy drinks.
- Beer?
- Beer works.
Soak the shirts
and wedge them under your door.
Okay. [GROANS] Okay.
Okay.
- Done. What now?
- We sit tight.
Firefighters will be coming
to you any minute.
Hey, Cap, lava, lava, lava!
[CHIMNEY] Yeah, I'm aware.
Keep those streams going.
We need this building standing
until we get everyone out.
All right, you heard him!
Hold your ground!
[COUGHS]
[RAVI] What the hell?
There's a lot of steam coming off
- that lava.
- [COUGHS]
[COUGHS]
Masks on! Everybody, SCBAs on now.
- Keep moving!
- [EDDIE] All the way down.
[CHIMNEY] Head for the street.
[COUGHS, GRUNTS]
Hey, buddy. I got you. I got you.
Whoa. What the hell?
That's not just steam.
[DAN] It's vog.
Volcanic fog.
The lava's heat
is vaporizing the water.
And volcanic gases
are mixing with the steam.
What kind of gases?
[DAN] Mostly sulfur dioxide.
[CHIMNEY] Add water
and you get sulfuric acid.
These people are inhaling acid rain.
118, kill the hoses.
Kill the hoses!
Cap, the fire's
nowhere near contained!
Hoses off now. Listen up.
All companies. Attack lines,
stay off. Main hoses,
stay off. No water hits
that building, you hear me?
[HEN] Eddie, got another one.
What do we got?
[HEN] Smoke inhalation
and chemical burn.
Can't breathe.
His airways must be closed.
If we don't stabilize the acid,
he's gonna go
- into respiratory arrest.
- Copy that.
- [WHEEZY COUGHING]
- We got you, kid.
All right, big sip, big sip.
- There we go.
- [CHOKING]
[HEN] Oh, hold on.
Airway's closing. He needs
something stronger than water.
Albuterol. Hang in there, kid.
[GUTTURAL COUGHING, WHEEZING]
- There we go. There we go.
- Good, good, good.
- Deep breaths. There you go.
- Satting at 81.
There we go, kid.
Up to 85.
[COUGHING] It's hard to breathe.
How much albuterol do we have
- on the rig?
- Not enough.
We need a hospital.
Buck, what's your status?
I can't get past the first floor.
All right, get out of there.
[BUCK] Whoa! Careful, careful.
- What was that? Was that the building?
- [JOSH] Peyton.
Let's stay calm.
They know you're in there.
Mayday, mayday. All
firefighters evacuate.
Dispatch, we got
a possible building collapse.
[JOSH] Captain, we still have
one victim on the second floor.
I'm aware. All right, load the rigs.
Get everyone in the vehicles
and get 'em ready to move.
[BUCK] Quick as you can.
Quick as you can.
Into the trucks. Let's go.
Let's go. Come on, come on. Hey, Cap.
I can go in. I'll find a way
to the second floor.
Absolutely not.
No one else is going in there.
Hey, Cap, I can go.
That's an order, Buckley.
Get everyone ready
- for transport. Let's go.
- Hey, come on, move it, move it,
move it.
Nobody's coming, are they?
You promised they'd come.
I know. I did.
Now I'm all alone.
No. You're not alone.
I'm here with you.
Tell my mom I was brave, okay?
She was so worried
that I couldn't do this
when I left home, but I did.
I I even
made some friends.
I'm sure you did.
I'm gonna hang up now.
- No, Peyton
- [HANGS UP]
♪
[CHIMNEY] Dispatch,
we got her.
[PEYTON COUGHING]
- You have room for one more?
- I'll take her.
Thank you.
[BUCK] Hey.
Thought you weren't
gonna send anyone else in.
I didn't.
What are we gonna do now, Cap?
We retreat. LAFD, let's pack it up.
Let's go.
[ENGINE STARTS]
- Hey, nurse. We came from St. Ray's.
- [IAN] Yeah.
All right, line up over there.
I have a trainee doing admits. Grant.
- Yeah.
- St. Ray's is covered in ash.
They're evacuating
half their patients here.
- Where we gonna put 'em?
- We'll clear some room.
All right, I got a bunch
of discharges over there.
- All right.
- Print charts, get folks out the door.
- You good? All right.
- Yeah, I'm good.
Okay, we've got second degree burns,
started morphine
approximately an hour ago.
- Is he a John Doe?
- No, he had ID on him.
- Okay.
- Garen Harpootlian is his name.
- Harpootlian.
- Found him looting a jewelry store.
Okay, um, let's move him
over to that wall.
- He's level two?
- Uh, yes, sir.
Okay. Uh, make sure his, uh,
O2 sat doesn't drop below 95.
Can I borrow you for a crush injury?
So, what, we just wait here?
[FAITH] I promise
we will not forget about you.
[ATHENA] Sparks!
Sparks?
[HARVEY] Is he dead?
[ATHENA] I think he's gonna be cooked
if he don't climb up
from out of there.
Oh
Sparks!
Sparks. Sparks!
[GROANS]
[ATHENA] Oh, thank God. Oh, no!
- No, no! No, no.
- Uh, hey, hey, hey.
- Aah! Aah!
- Hey, hey. Stay there. Kid
- Oh. Oh. Oh, my God! Aah! No!
- [HARVEY] Back up, kid.
- Can you climb up?
- [PANTING] Yeah.
Then do it.
[STRAINED GRUNTING]
[GRUNTING CONTINUES]
[SPARKS] I'm good.
I'm fine.
[RUMBLING]
Stay right there.
He wants us to, uh, stay here.
- Yeah, I heard.
- Hmm.
Do you know where "here" is, Harvey?
Are you still with us?
Yeah. I-I know where we are.
And I kind of wish I didn't.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- [WOMAN] Clear.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Yo, this is a madhouse.
I'll try to find a charge nurse.
They should send some of
these people over to St. Rays.
No, most are from there.
They had to evacuate.
They got trainees working this?
They told us we didn't have to.
- So you decided to stay?
- Course she did.
[HEN] 18-year-old, smoke inhalation,
started CO2 on scene.
- Okay, is she stable?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay. What's next?
- [EDDIE] Several patients with chemical burns
on the airway. Administered
albuterol on the scene.
Okay, uh, keep 'em moving, uh,
find any open space on the wall.
Yes, ma'am.
What?
You're good at this.
This is our lava field.
You see it's mostly south of the cone
and east and west.
Lava follows the path
of least resistance.
If we look at the topography
of downtown
- It's rolling downhill.
- [DAN] Yes. Low viscosity.
The slightest change in
elevation can dictate its path.
So if we follow the street grades,
- we can predict where it's going.
- Exactly.
Within the hour, these three
tributaries will converge
- here on, Third Street.
- [MADDIE] Wait, there was
a construction site there, right?
It doesn't matter.
It's never gonna get there.
When the lava flow hits
this 12% grade on Alameda,
it'll swerve south.
So it's gonna keep
rolling down Alameda.
With nothing to stop it.
Oh, there's something there
to stop it.
Presbyterian Hospital.
Where we just sent
all of our casualties.
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Charge nurse.
Uh, you're joking.
How soon?
No. No, I don't think that's possible.
- Yeah, yeah, okay.
- [CHIMNEY] What is it?
That was someone from the Office
of Emergency Management.
They're saying we should
prepare for a full evacuation.
- Lava?
- Lava.
Okay, but evacuate to where?
She says she's working on it.
[JOSH] Okay, Mont Grove.
No, it's too far from Presbyterian.
- St. Ray's.
- No. Half the patients
at St. Rays are already
at Presbyterian.
Same with County,
- Regional.
- [JOSH] That's it for the hospitals.
Moving on to stadiums.
Dodger Stadium is open air
too much ash.
Southern is too small.
What is WSH?
[JOSH] A high school in Westlake
with a 2,000-seat auditorium.
That burned to the ground
a half hour ago.
Every minute the lava advances,
it cuts off
our fire exit routes.
We may be out of options.
No. There is always another option.
[SPARKS] Okay!
I'm gonna keep it steady from my end.
Okay.
Harvey, why don't you go first?
Are you out of your mind?
That thing won't gonna hold me.
- Okay. Oh.
- [RUMBLING]
I'm gonna show you
how easy it is, okay?
Hey, Sergeant Grant, use the gloves.
It's gonna get hot. You got 'em?
Yeah. I got it.
Try not to breathe.
I wouldn't think of it.
Good job.
You got this.
Steady.
You're doing great.
You're halfway there.
[GRUNTS]
[SPARKS] Few more feet.
Give me your hand.
- Oh.
- [LAUGHING] There you go.
I got you.
I got you, I got you. Come on.
Come on. Wow.
- Well done.
- Yeah, I'd say so.
A little too well done. Okay, Harvey.
You're next.
[HARVEY GROANS]
[EXCLAIMS]
Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm-I'm okay, yeah.
I'm okay. I'll try.
Yeah, everything's good.
Everything's fine.
You think that thing's gonna hold him?
Well, if it doesn't,
I'm definitely getting fired.
There you go, boss.
I got this. I got it.
Okay, I can do this. Yeah.
One inch at a time.
One inch at a time.
I'll be fine. You know what?
I got this. Piece of cake, kid.
[SPARKS] There you go.
You're almost halfway there.
It's actually not as tough as
I thought it was
Who's that woman you're with?
He doesn't know where he is.
Hey, don't worry
about that right now, okay?
Just keep coming and do not look down.
Don't look down at
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
[YELLING]
Oh, my God. What's happening?
[ATHENA] He's freezing up.
Now, listen to me, Harvey.
You suffered a head injury.
It's affected your short-term memory.
But I need you to trust me
Trust you? I don't know
who the hell you are.
That-that doesn't matter, okay?
You just You need to keep going.
[WHIMPERS]
I-I could go out there
and try to help him back.
Oh, you'd both end up fondue.
[WHIMPERING]
He mentioned that he had to
make his way home to his wife.
- What
- What's her name?
- His dead wife?
- He doesn't know that.
At least he didn't.
It's Genevieve.
Harvey.
Come on. Need you to keep moving.
Genevieve is waiting for you.
[SIGHS] You spoke to Genevieve?
She needs you
to make your way home to her.
Genevieve's my wife. She's been sick.
You've been taking care
of her, haven't you?
Best as I can, yeah.
She needs you.
You got to make your way home
to her. Come on.
Come on, keep moving.
We're not gonna panic.
Just do it. Do it for Genevieve.
Genevieve, I'm coming home
to you, baby.
[SNIFFLES]
I'm coming home to you, baby.
- [ATHENA] That's right. Come on.
- [SPARKS] There you go.
Yeah, you're doing great, Harvey.
Come on, boss. You're doing good.
- You're doing great, Harvey.
- [SPARKS] Yes.
[SPARKS] You got it, boss.
- Come on.
- There you go.
[ATHENA]
All right, here we go. Come on.
Up you go.
- Come on.
- Up you go. Up you go.
- You okay?
- A hell of a shvitz.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Maddie, I'm at Presbyterian.
Yeah? What's it like down there?
Like a backup at LAX.
Listen, we're ready to evacuate.
Please tell me you've got
someplace for everyone to go.
Maddie?
Maddie, are you all right?
No. Everybody's looking at me,
and I don't know
what I'm supposed to tell them.
We have lava converging
on Third Street
and then it's gonna head south,
down Alameda.
And head right for us. Right. Third.
The only street
in Los Angeles that's not
under construction.
Hey, that's right.
You-you had a construction site
on-on your Second Street
lava river rescue.
Yeah, thank God. Those K-rails
were the only thing
keeping everything
from spreading everywhere.
Why? What are you thinking?
I'm thinking
if we can't move the people,
we're gonna move the lava.
Damn it.
It's useless. It's locked.
And neither one of you got a key?
- No.
- No.
Phone. You said there was
- an emergency landline?
- [HARVEY] Yeah, yeah.
There should be. There should be.
Okay, where?
- Where
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Right here.
- Where?
[HARVEY] Aha.
[GRUNTS]
[GASPS]
Yeah.
[CLICKING KEYS ON KEYPAD]
It's dead.
[SPARKS] Well, then so are we.
Hey. Hey!
We crossed over lava.
We are not giving up now.
There's got to be
some other way out of here.
We got to think.
The answer's gonna
be right in front of us.
Okay.
Hey, what's on the other side
of that grating?
[HARVEY] Union Metro Station.
They're doing refurbishments.
Okay, well, it's a construction site.
Okay? There's got
to be tools around here,
something that we can use
to pop open those grates.
[HARVEY] Yeah, but we lost the ladder.
[ATHENA] Come on, let's look. Come on.
I can try to climb up. You know,
maybe bring back some help.
- Help. Help.
- [HARVEY] Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's
- going on, kid? Come here.
- Sparks? - [SPARKS] Help.
- [ATHENA] Come on, come on.
- [HARVEY] Come on, come on, come on, come on.
- [SPARKS GROANING]
- [HARVEY MUMBLES]
- Come on. Right here. Right here.
- [GROANING]
[GROANING CONTINUES]
Why are you shivering, Sparks?
It's 150 degrees down here.
What happened to you?
What's happened? What happened?
Where does it hurt?
I think I, uh,
busted a rib on that jump.
- Oh, man. Good God.
- [SPARKS] You were right.
Stupid idea. [GROANS]
It's warm and distended.
He's bleeding internally.
[HARVEY] I think I can fix that phone.
- I worked for Ma Bell in the '80s.
- [ATHENA] Okay.
- Then do it.
- [HARVEY] Okay, yeah.
Before you forget why you're doing it.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
[SPARKS] Sergeant Grant, hey. Hey.
You got to get out of here. Please.
It's detective.
And nobody's going anywhere right now.
[MADDIE] Union Street Station, one
of the first Metro stops built
in the '90s and currently
closed for construction.
Yeah, they're connecting it
to the E Line.
[MADDIE]
That's right. The Metro station
is giant, it is deep underground,
and it is completely empty.
And we are gonna send that lava
back where it came from:
underground.
[SPARKS GROANING]
Is there, like, a volcano in L.A.?
Sure looks like.
That's crazy, right?
As things go,
it's up there.
It's cold. I'm so c
- Feel so cold.
- Sparks?
- Mm?
- Your body is going into shock,
but we can fight that.
Why?
We both know
I'm not making it out of here.
We don't know that.
In fact, in my experience with you,
you don't know much about anything.
[LAUGHS]
[BREATH CATCHES]
I'm sure my partner's
looking for us right now.
Hey, wait, hey
You got a new partner?
I'm jealous.
I thought you were
allergic to partners.
I'm allergic to dumbass partners.
Was I the worst?
- By far.
- [LAUGHS]
I mean, unless
you consider the other guy.
At least he didn't shoot a civilian.
He shot me.
- Oh, you're kidding.
- I am not.
He wasn't really my partner, though.
Just wanted me to think he was.
Where is he now?
Penitentiary.
Ah, well
Well, I wasn't the worst.
It's a low bar.
[GROANS, PANTS]
Should have listened to you.
I should have learned
from you instead of
trying to impress you.
You know, maybe I wouldn't
have thrown my whole life away.
I mean, that mistake
cost me everything.
You know? You know,
it almost cost a woman her life.
It didn't. She's alive.
'Cause of you.
If you hadn't been there,
I mean, she wouldn't had a chance.
And if it wasn't for you,
we wouldn't have stood a chance.
That counts, too.
Athena?
I need you
to do something for me, okay?
Martha Bailey.
Will you tell her I'm sorry?
That I didn't stop thinking about her?
I will not.
Cause you're gonna do that yourself.
Okay.
Okay.
Six minutes ago,
an LAFD reconnaissance drone confirmed
lava converging on Third.
And then the drone melted.
[MELINDA] And so will
Presbyterian Hospital
if we get this wrong.
[MADDIE] Here is Presbyterian.
And three quarters
of a mile away, the lava field.
At its current rate of flow, it will
reach the hospital
in less than an hour.
Down steady.
[MADDIE] Our plan is
to divert it at Crocker
with K-rails, sending the lava
towards Sixth street.
You're good.
[MADDIE] LAFD has been
deployed along the route
to ensure the path is clear
of civilians.
And in our final move,
the LAPD and 118
are gonna help the lava
turn left at Sixth.
The lava's gonna turn left?
Oh, it better make a left.
[JOSH] But Sixth Street
doesn't go downhill.
[MADDIE] It will. We're
lowering the grade.
Where do you want this acetylene?
Place each one
right next to an O2 cannister.
This much accelerant
should get a pretty big boom.
Oh, well, we appreciate the help.
[LAUGHS] Hell, you kidding me?
We're the bomb squad.
We never get to actually blow crap up.
Okay, listen up.
We are no longer prepping
for an evacuation.
Does that mean the lava's
not headed this way anymore?
No, it is.
But they've got a plan
to stop it before it gets here.
But just in case,
we need to clear the E.R.
Okay? Get all these people
to the upper floors.
How is going upstairs
going to save us?
If lava reaches the hospital,
higher ground is where we want to be.
And it won't come to that.
They'll stop it. You'll see.
[DAN] Here we go.
It's approaching the first checkpoint.
Ravi, you're up.
All right, here it comes!
Everybody back!
K-rails are holding.
Lava's headed down Crocker.
Okay. Hen, we're coming to you next.
[HEN] Lava on track, heading to Sixth.
[HARRY] Hey, coming to you, Cap.
Okay. Chim?
Charges are all set.
We see it.
[EDDIE] All right, get behind the rig.
Go, go, go!
You're gonna want to cover your ears.
What the hell? It didn't wor
Dispatch, we've got lava
running down Sixth Street,
en route to Union Street
Metro Station.
Oh, my God, we did it. We did it!
Technically, we blew it.
[CHEERING]
[IAN] What's that? Say that again.
That's incredible.
Thank you, thank you.
- What?
- They did it.
They actually did it.
We're in the clear.
Oh, my God. Oh. Oh, my God. Yes!
[LAUGHING]
[EXPLOSIONS IN DISTANCE]
Did you hear that?
[ATHENA] Just hang in there.
And your boss
he's trying to fix that phone.
Yeah. I'm sure that's going great.
- What?
- You were trying to fix the phone.
I'm aware of that.
Who do you want to call?
Are you kidding?
[CHUCKLES] Way to go, boss.
- I have to make the call!
- [MARSH] You need to relax.
- You're making a big mistake.
- [MAY] Hey, hey.
- What's the problem?
- Oh, miss, please.
I have to make a phone call.
I promised the lady.
Like I said,
you'll make your phone call
- once you're booked into jail.
- For what? I didn't do anything!
It was my store!
Miss, he won't listen to me.
I promised the lady.
He's not gonna see a doctor
for a while.
Why not just let him make his call?
Fine.
Okay, we can use my phone.
What's the number?
It's on the card. It's on the card.
Do you have the card?
All his stuff's in this bag.
Thank you.
You have to call the number
on the back.
[MAY] Where'd you get this?
[GAREN] That's the lady. I promised
I would let them know
she was down there.
Down where?
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hey, May, you okay?
- [MAY] Look,
I know you're super busy, but
there's a patient in the E.R.
- that had my mom's business card.
- Okay.
And he said that she climbed
into some hole that went underground.
And I tried calling her phone
but she's not picking up,
and the detective she's working
with hasn't heard from her.
For how long?
Since before the first eruption.
Okay. We're not gonna panic.
Um, where's the hole
that she climbed into?
Under some jewelry store.
Like, five blocks from the eruption.
- Five blocks from the volcano.
- [LINDA] Hey, Maddie?
- Can it wait?
- Athena Grant's on the line.
May, I've got your mom
on the other line.
- She called 911?
- I'll call you back.
[HANGS UP]
- Athena?
- [ATHENA] Maddie.
Maddie, can you hear me?
I'm not sure how long
this connection will hold.
- Athena, where are you?
- In a subway tunnel.
I'm with two Metro workers,
both injured,
one a possible TBI,
the other bleeding internally,
but we got bigger problems.
- Lava?
- Yeah.
There's some kind of bubbling
from a fissure underground.
Yeah. Above ground, too.
Athena, where are you, exactly?
Uh
Union Street Expansion.
A lava flow is headed
straight for you.
How do you know?
Because I sent it there.
Chim, you can't beat
the lava flow to Union.
We can beat it there.
Okay, but by the time you eventuate
an extraction, it will have
caught up to you.
No one will be able to get out.
Okay, so get me another way in.
There is no another way in, not yet.
Wait. What do you mean, "not yet"?
- We have to make one.
- There are more than 20 miles
of noncontiguous tunnels
under downtown.
If we can find something that
abuts with any part of that
- construction site
- We can break through.
Uh, how far are you
from the Garment District?
Close.
Um, good. I need you to
go to 1175 Channel Avenue.
- It's a car dealership.
- Yes,
but it-it also used to be a speakeasy.
Prohibition tunnels.
Rum runners used to
dig 'em in the '20s.
Do you think they still exist?
They have tours.
[SAW WHIRRING]
Don't think this one was on the tour.
[CHIMNEY] How far?
[MADDIE] Your target
is about a mile from you.
You're gonna want to head south
to what looks like a dead end.
All right, let's move.
Double-time it, 118. Let's go.

Harry?
[HARRY] May, May. Hey, May.
We got her! We got her.
Mom's safe. We got her out.
You hear that, dispatch?
[MADDIE] Yeah.
Loud and clear, 118.
[LAUGHING, CRYING] Yes.
You did it.
I-Is she's okay? How is she?
[HARRY]
Here, you can ask her yourself.
Mom?
Hey, baby.
[CRYING]
Well, downtown L.A. has
a new tourist attraction.
After a hellish 24 hours,
the volcanic eruption
has ended as abruptly as it began.
Air traffic resumes,
though trains are a different story,
as lava hardening
in Metro tunnels reveals a city
humbled once again by Mother Nature.
For now, a coastal breeze has
cleared most of that ashfall,
leaving Angelenos with blue skies.
What are you doing here?
Before we both drop from exhaustion,
I thought I'd take you to breakfast.
- No.
- No?
You just saved my mom's life.
I'm taking you to breakfast.
- Maddie
- I know that there's a timesheet backlog,
and I know that
there's ash in the HVAC,
but can we take a minute
to appreciate the fact
that we beat a damn volcano?
I mean, we are basically unstoppable.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, the boss wants to see you.
The who?
Sue.
I didn't know
that you were coming back.
Oh, it was kind of last minute.
I Happy to see you.
Have a seat.
Okay.
First, I just want to say
that you have done
an extraordinary job here.
They sent you here to fire me, right?
I told them what they should do is
- throw you a parade.
- Yeah.
Too bad there's no streets left.
Yeah, the mayor's feeling the heat.
So to speak.
The press wants to know
how he allowed
a working-class neighborhood
to burn to the ground
while diverting resources
to a rich enclave.
To protect the rest of the city.
I can read a map.
Apparently, no one
in the mayor's office can.
The fact that they couldn't
come down here
and fire me themselves,
and they're making you do it?
- Well, they're afraid of you.
- Me? [SCOFFS]
- Why?
- Because you are competent.
Which is why I told them
that if they wanted me back,
we come as a team.
You said that?
I insisted on it.
I am ready to come back, Maddie.
But with a partner.
You know, someone
who can share the burden.
And I can't think of anyone
more qualified
than you.
I can.
I think that Josh would make
an outstanding co-manager.
He taught me, and he
showed me how to do this
thing that I really love.
I understand.
You do?
Maddie
you're fired.
[SIGHS, LAUGHS]
911. What's your emergency?
All right, ma'am.
Can you tell me the address
you're calling from?
Help is on the way.
No. I won't hang up
until they get there.
I'm not going anywhere.
[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.]
- [ATHENA] Hey.
- Hey.
- How you feeling?
- Better, thanks.
[ATHENA CHUCKLES]
I heard it was a close call.
Yeah, apparently, if they, uh
if they got there ten minutes later,
- I wouldn't be talking to you right now.
- Yeah, well,
they like to cut it close sometimes.
How's your boss?
Uh, he was discharged yesterday.
And his memory?
Seemed fine.
You know, the doctors cleared him.
But, uh, he was not in a rush
to get home once he realized
you know, there was
no one to go home to.
I know that feeling.
Look, uh, Sergeant Or
Detective Grant.
I just have to say
thank you.
Okay? You saved my life.
You know, since you can't
seem to get it right,
why don't you just call me Athena?
- Okay.
- And I didn't save your life,
but I do know the folks who did,
if you want to say thank you.
I do, actually, but they
wouldn't have had the chance
if you hadn't kept me here.
And you kept me focused and fighting.
[MARTHA] Yeah.
She's good at that.
Martha.
Bailey.
Yeah, I know.
There are some things
I know you can get right.
Just like we talked about.
I'm gonna leave you two alone.
Is that okay?
I can't promise how it'll go.
But I'm open to find out.
Hi.
♪
- [KNOCKING]
- [BUCK] Uh, yeah.
Come on in. It's open.
You're just in time. Ah.
What do you got?
Just in time for what?
[CLATTERING]
Oh
- Hey, Theo.
- Hey, Eddie.
Hey.
Hey. You're making a volcano?
Yeah.
You don't feel like that's too soon?
Uh, well, Theo seemed
kind of freaked out
by the whole volcano thing
so I figured
make it less scary for him.
You mind if, uh, we-we talk
in private just for a minute?
Uh, yeah, yeah, sure.
Theo, why don't you
keep working on the cone
while I talk to Eddie, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
[CLEARS THROAT] Come on.
[SHORT CHUCKLE]
It's good stuff.
- [BUCK] Aw, geez.
- [TOYS CLATTERING]
Ah. So, hey, what's going on?
Look, uh [CLEARS THROAT]
Sorry if I'm overstepping,
but, uh, I just, um
Lava bomb! Lava bomb!
[BUCK] Yeah. Lava bomb
in just a minute. Wait for me.
[CHUCKLES]
Uh you know what I learned
the last two days?
That a volcano is incredibly scary.
Phew. Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I was out there with you.
Then why are we making it
a party trick?
[THEO SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
- Uh, I told you. He was he was scared.
- Yeah.
Yeah, you said he was scared,
which is a perfectly
reasonable response
to what this city just went through.
But what does not
seem reasonable is
that.
Instead of talking to Theo
and letting him tell you what
scares him and reassuring him
those feelings are normal, you're
you're making a joke about it.
Well, after everything
he's been through
in the past few months,
you don't think
the kid could use a joke?
Sure. Problem is, in all these months,
everything has been made to be a joke.
You know, he breaks windows
and noses,
he unplugs your refrigerator
and you just let it slide.
- Uh, that's not good for a kid.
- [BUCK CHUCKLES]
Uh, so you know what's best for Theo?
- I'm not saying that.
- You are saying that I don't.
Look, I know that
being a parent isn't easy.
I've made my share of mistakes.
Yeah, I know. I know that
'cause I've been with you
through most of them.
Did I ever, one time, look down
on you for those mistakes?
- No.
- No.
No, I didn't, 'cause I'm your friend.
I'm doing this because
I am your friend, Buck.
And I'm worried about you and Theo.
I I know you think
you're making it
easier on him, man, but
Okay, so, so, come on.
Uh, tell me.
Give me your advice. What should I
Should I put a traumatized
little boy in timeout?
"Hey, Theo, Listen.
The world is a scary place.
No more fun for you."
That kid already lost
both of his parents.
Maybe what he needs right now is a
a friend.
[TOYS CLATTERING]
The kid needs a father.
And some boundaries.
That actually makes them feel safe.
Okay, you know what, you were right
at the start of this conversation.
You are overstepping.
You don't like
the way I'm handling things?
Eddie, you know where the door is.
[THEO] Lava bomb, lava bomb!
[HISSING]
Uh, all right, I got to
Buddy, I-I told you to wait.
[CHUCKLES]
Uh, it's okay. It's okay.
