Previously on Fire Country... You know what this means?

I win.

Were you ever gonna ask where it is I'm going?

Canada. Japan.

Birch, is that contraband booze?

Don't know what you're talking about.

I know you drink 'cause this job is hard.

But bettering yourself, that's even harder.

Secondary slide incoming.

Hey, yo, B. Your leg okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just bruised.

Help! Someone's buried under there.

All right, let's get him out of here.

Nice to meet you, Rafael. It's almost over.

Order up.

You ready?

May need a few more minutes. Sure.

Take all the time you need.

I'm all out of time, Bode.

Because you couldn't save me.

I tried, Rafael.

I'm so sorry.

You slept here before shift?

I had a late night at Smokey's,

so this was just the closest place to crash.

You said Rafael's name.

Did you have a nightmare?

I-I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but I ju,

but it's your first shift since you lost him and...

Checking in, firefighter to firefighter.

In baseball, I learned to put losses behind me,

drown them with wins.

Just move forward.

So that's, that's what I'm gonna do.

Thank you so much, Dr. Verma.

Was that about Dad's appointment?

Yes. Love you.

You're a saint. Thank you.

And a scheduling genie.

Home health care worker's going home at 7:00 tonight

I will pick up the shift then... but Audrey is out of town,

so we're down one firefighter while she picks up

her things in North Carolina, but

I already took care of that part.

Also, moved up the beer order for here,

because... 'Cause you're you.

Beautiful. Last thing we want,

bunch of alumni bleeding out our taps.

Yeah. Adults using a high school baseball game

as an excuse to get sauced.

You are not gonna judge the County Clash

just because Edgewater is going to get its ass kicked

by Eel River again.

Eternal rivals.

Yeah, fierce ones.

Ooh, I love your planner.

You have great taste.

Right back at you.

Renée. Hi.

Vinny.

My goodness. "Renée" Renée?

My God, your high school girlfriend.

Yeah. Yeah.

This is my wife Sharon.

I want to hear all about high-school Vinny,

and if you have any embarrassing photos to share,

I'd pay some good money.

That'd be fun.

You here for the game?

For work.

Yeah, I just had a gig in Louisville.

And before that, I was in London.

I saw Abbey Road.

Did you ever take that trip, Vinny?

I didn't even know you wanted to go to London.

Can you please stop by the fire station?

Shall we plan it?

Yes. I love her already.

Wow. Look at that.

Ooh.

County Clash twins.

Not your twin, and not your house.

Yeah, but my house doesn't have any food

because Gabs keeps ignoring the roomie chore chart.

And that's my problem how?

You know what?

I don't like it when you look at me like that.

Well, stay out of my damn cabinets.

Yo... yo!

What are you looking for?

No, but is that the new waitress from Smokey's?

Bro, I was a phenomenal wing woman last night.

What happened?

You were, but like I told you,

I am looking for real connections,

not one-night stands.

Did you even get her number?

Okay, so, real connections.

We got to build a bridge by what?

Asking for the number.

I did ask.

And she didn't...?

I'm so sorry.

Look, man... That's crazy.

I'm not good at putting myself out there anymore.

I guess everything was just

easier back when...

When you were emotionally immature and a playboy.

You weren't gonna... No.

I'm sorry. What I was going to say is,

back when I didn't carry around this "almost life"

with Cara and Gen.

You remember them, right? Right.

Okay, look, look, look. I know what it is.

You've lost some mojo.

But I can help you with that, 'cause right now,

me and Francine, we're vibing romantically,

and me and Manny, we're vibing

professionally.

And so, when one friend has less mojo than the other,

I must break off my mojo,

for you.

I'm not taking that personally.

With my daughter back in my corner,

I can actually see the light now.

How about you guys?

Got anything you're looking forward to?

Looking forward to shaking off this cold

that's ripping through camp.

Feel you, bro. Cover your mouth, dude.

You all right, man?

You need the prison infirmary, Birch?

No, I'm clean now.

One step back into prison, my sobriety's out the window.

Give yourself more credit than that, bro.

You've really been working this program.

There's no Manny looking out for me in prison.

Hey, you go in, you get your treatment,

you're right back here at camp.

Yeah?

That's what they told Kosugi. And Carter.

You see them back here?

All right.

All right, we'll get you some treatment here.

No infirmary, no prison.

I got you.

I promise.

It's just lunch. It's no biggie.

It's weird.

You just

hanging out with my girlfriend from high school?

That's weird. Kind of hot.

Did I hear correctly?

Renée's in town?

Leave it, Luke. Hey.

Are you the firefighter filling in for Audrey today?

One last shift before I ship off to Japan.

Means "Hi, I'm single" in Japanese.

Of course. Let's stay on topic here.

Renée. She's trouble, Shar.

Uncle Luke?

Hey. Bode. What's going on, man?

Bode Coyote. Look at you, all decked out

in your Cal Fire blues.

Yeah.. Probie year taking its toll?

Had some tough calls.

But I got Coach Dobbs in my head, saying...

"Forget the last play."

Senior year County Clash game's when I got injured,

got derailed, but

today I'm spending it firefighting.

Well, that is a hell of a way to look forward, kid.

Hey, why don't you help me look for some turnouts, yeah?

Yeah.

"Forget the last play." Know what that means?

No.

Means leave the past in the past.

Grown men quoting their high school coach.

Just lunch, Vinny.

♪ ♪

So, tonight is the annual rivalry game.

And Edgewater has a team this year.

The Eel River Eels are going down.

Ooh, kind of an obvious choice

for a mascot, Chief, don't you think?

Yeah. I'm sorry, did-did I just hear

the probie ask for an extra week of toilet duty?

Yikes.

Anyway,

it's also an annual headache,

because the kids just spend the whole day

playing pranks on the rival school.

Kind of like when Greg Shinkle TP'd our house.

I'm still pissed that Dad wouldn't let us get back at him.

I wish kids were still into TP.

Now they steal stop signs and cause car accidents.

They release bees into classrooms.

- Obvious problems... - They super glued

my costume. Some Eel River kids

raided the locker room with superglue,

and now my sister is trapped in this.

Station 42, structure fire,

9000 Bel Air Boulevard.

That's Eel River High.

Right on time.

Okay, Jake, why don't you take the walk-ins?

Everybody else, head on into the truck with Vince.

Some kid was trying to rig the smoke bombs in the dugout.

They took off when they saw me coming, though.

Well, I'd appreciate it

if you could go look for him.

Fire like this, he could have some injuries.

- Thank you. - Hey! Hey.

My team's got a game tonight. I need you to put this out.

Yeah, hi, Drew.

That's kind of what my team is here for,

you know, the hoses and stuff?

Leone?

I haven't seen you since they carted you off this field.

Sorry about the injury.

We're all good, Kimbro.

They played baseball together?

Drew pretty much wrecked Bode's MCL

his senior year in high school.

You know, I-I was worried

when you threatened to meet me in the parking lot, but

guess you got held up by rehab.

You can probably save the trash talk

for the game tonight, Drew.

Forget the last play, yeah?

Keep your head down and fight fires.

Don't let this guy derail you.

Outside the strike zone.

Classic Leone.

Fire's spreading, Vin.

If that fire touches my field...

Yeah, what, is there a game tonight?

It's the County Clash... I know, Drew!

Let us work.

Hey, Cap. Yeah?

You got a quick second?

No offense, Birch, you're not looking too hot.

You need a trip to the infirmary?

Actually, we were hoping that we could

treat it here, you know,

maybe get him some ibuprofen or something like that?

Yeah, well, I got to document the request.

What are your symptoms?

Congestion, headache, nausea...

Couldn't stay sober?

Yeah, I am sober. 22 days.

Come on, man, he's not lying to you.

Please, Cap.

Captain Edwards isn't in charge

of dispensing the medication.

I am. And he's not getting a thing

till I know what else is in his system.

Come on, Jones. I mean, look at the guy.

Look, I have some rapid blood alcohol tests in my office.

Let's go.

Cap, don't subject him to that.

You know he's clean.

Well, then he has nothing to worry about, right?

Let's go.

It's cool.

Can't you go faster, fire dude?

Well, I'm going as fast as I can, Margot.

On literally the one day

that I'm not supposed to be in this thing.

Heather R., the cheer captain,

rolled her ankle, so Heather M. Is taking her place as flyer,

meaning that my sister can get out of the mascot

and take her place as a spotter at the pep rally.

Understood.

All right. We're gonna get you out of here.

You stopped?

Violet, why'd he stop?

Well, unfortunately, Margot,

the costume is glued to your skin.

Okay, well, can't you just,

like, I don't know, pull it off?

Well, do you want skin for your out-of-costume debut?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Please, yes. Skin.

We can start with soapy water,

but hang tight, let me go dig for some acetone.

Hang tight? Actually

- will nail polish remover work? - Yeah. Wow.

Perfect. This'll, this will work. Thanks.

Can you two stop flirting or whatever,

and just get me out of here?

Sorry. Yeah. Absolutely.

Roof fire's out.

We could still use a little help down here.

All right, my team. Great work.

Soak it down, let's mop it up.

Good job, kiddo.

Yeah.

You almost lost the dugout, Leone.

Like you lost in '09.

You took me out of the game.

No. I beat you to the bag.

It's not my fault you smashed into me.

You were blocking the base path. A dirty play.

Dirty? I'm not the one who had a hard time staying clean, am I?

What's your problem, man?

We just saved the field.

No, you didn't save anything.

You're always acting the hero, but you're a loser, Leone.

You lose.

Parking lot's right over there... Let's go!

Yeah, want to go? Hey. Hey, hey!

Walk away. Walk away! Hey! You cannot

get triggered on a call like that, Bode, you hear me?

Back it up.

Walk away.

Yo, Perez.

What's up, Cap? So, good news.

Birch's test came back negative.

I knew it would.

Jones gave him the meds

and, sent him off for a nap.

You know, when I was captain,

I did everything I could to make sure

that my guys never felt like criminals.

Yeah, man, but you know how Jones is.

You don't get the meds unless you get the proof,

and I got the proof.

Hey.

We're on the same team.

It's just my team. It's your team, I know.

Look, and I need you to rally the troops

'cause we got to pick up trash at the Eel River pep rally.

Man. Look, look.

Make that sound fun, okay?

First saw.

All right, Three Rock.

You boys ready for some community beautification?

Let's go touch some grass.

Perez, I don't mean to snoop here,

but something is up with my nephew

and you're usually in his head.

We aren't...

We don't have that type of relationship anymore.

Okay, well, then has Firefighter Perez noticed

anything up with Probie Leone?

Firefighter to firefighter? Yeah.

He's been having nightmares

about a patient he lost last shift.

It was a rough loss.

Bode sat with him when he died and after.

Do Vince and Sharon know? About the nightmares?

Security guard still hasn't found

our smoke bomb kid yet,

so I'm gonna need the two of you to make a couple laps,

see if we can't help find him.

Bode... Yeah, I'll join him. I'll go.

Great.

Everybody else, back to the station, restock.

Let's go.

Wow, you really made those tiny Post-it notes work.

You know, I couldn't find a way.

I just like them better than the stickers,

but then, look at this, you make this,

you make, you make all of this look classy.

Thank you for coming here today.

The kids and their antics just have me

on high alert, I don't want to leave.

Are you kidding? I'm thrilled to see this place again.

I mean, we used to sneak crappy beers up on the roof

when Walter was on calls. Come on!

That was high school Vince's idea of a "date."

Not that far from adult Vince's idea of a date.

It's certainly closer than "Abbey Road Vince."

Yeah, well, we were kids.

We had all kinds of big plans.

Like?

You know, teen dreams.

See the northern lights, Great Barrier Reef,

and then...

And then?

Plans change when one person wants to get married

and the other one doesn't.

I mean, Vince handled it pretty well at the time,

I just think...

You didn't know that he proposed to me.

I am so sorry. I-I didn't mean it to...

No. No, no, no.

It's okay, really.

It was a million years ago.

Utility 1543, Greencrest.

Status check. Utility 1543.

We're still on scene, Eel River High School.

We have a report of a patient trapped, name's Nolan.

He called us from his smart watch,

and we're trying to pinpoint his location.

Can you patch us through?

Hello?

Yeah, hey, Nolan.

Can you tell us where you're trapped, buddy?

A-a drain pipe? I-I don't know.

It's-it's round and it's cold and it's weird.

Okay, well, do you know where you are?

Any landmarks or anything?

It's near the baseball field. I-I don't know.

I saw a guard and I took off. I tried to hide in here.

Okay, hey, Nolan?

When you were there at the baseball field

and you took off, which way did you go?

Were you... were you on the first baseline

or the third baseline?

The third. Crawled a ways down and I got stuck.

- I see an exit. - That's the exit

on the west side of the field.

Okay, hey, Nolan?

We're coming to you.

Let's hit it.

Hey. Hey.

I-I'm in here.

Hey, it's Nolan, yeah?

- Yeah. - Okay, I'm Luke.

We talked on the phone earlier.

Can you tell me which part of your body is stuck?

I felt something sharp pierce my side.

All right, don't move.

We're gonna find a way to get you out of here, okay?

Okay.

We located the patient

just west of the baseball field.

Okay.

Hey.

How was your lunch date?

With your almost-wife?

She was

my almost-fiancée.

Because we were kids.

And yeah, I proposed. And she said no.

And you proposed to me less than a year later?

Because you were ring happy, or I was a rebound?

We've been married for over 30 years.

Okay, okay. So then why didn't you tell me?

The past should stay in the past, like I said, right?

No.

Not gonna cut it this time.

Report of subject stuck in storm drain.

9000 Bel Air Boulevard.

Okay, now get that camera as close as you can

and make sure the two-way mic is up and running.

Right there. There's our junction chamber

where it drops off.

Hey.

So, city blueprints are showing a junction chamber

in the culvert about ten yards in.

That's where we think the kid is trapped.

He said he's hung up on something sharp,

possible puncture wound. We told him not to move.

All right, let me see.

Anyone call his parents yet?

He says they're out of town.

I'm not sure I believe him, though.

Well, he's an Edgewater High kid, right?

You call the school?

I'm not so sure about that.

Is that an Eel River Baseball hat?

Coach Kimbro's gonna be so mad.

Well, there's an adult we can talk to.

You tried to sabotage your own dugout?

I couldn't lose again.

We lost three in a row because of me.

Striking out, giving up runs, all I do is lose.

The principal said if anyone pulled pranks during the game,

she'd cancel it.

So you were gonna set off smoke bombs

and make it look like it was Edgewater.

Hey, Chief? Take a look at this.

Kid's snagged on rebar.

Yeah, we're not getting him out this way.

Get me Three Rock. To do what?

To dig.

Down to the culvert, we bust through the concrete.

Lift him up from above.

We got to pack that wound as soon as we can.

All right, I'll check for a saw.

I'll grab medical. Hey, hey, hey.

The kid's losing blood.

The clock's ticking.

Hey, Nolan. How you doing in there, buddy?

Cold.

I can't feel my fingers.

Hey. Temps are dropping.

Hypothermia's gonna set in soon.

All right, we got to get in there.

Yeah?

No, not seeing any concrete saws on the rigs.

We're gonna need serious tool power

to get through that concrete.

Got saws at the station. Go.

Hey.

I get a call that my starting pitcher did this to himself?

Coach, I'm... so sorry.

It was... it was dumb.

Damn straight it was.

What the hell were you thinking?

Drew. Not helping.

Don't tell me how to talk to my players.

Right now, that's my patient. This is my rescue.

- Get out of here. - Kimbro. Kimbro, hey.

Come on. Come with me.

Need some help grabbing tools

that are gonna save Nolan's life.

Hey. You sure about this?

Come on.

Three Rock's two minutes out, Chief.

All right, guys, for us to reach Nolan,

I need you to dig down to the culvert.

Dig from here

to here,

give us access to the junction chamber.

Thank you, Three Rock.

All right, copy that, Chief.

Gentlemen, let's get those shovels moving, all right?

Let's go, boys. We got to be faster than this.

Let's move it.

Nice, y'all.

Pace yourself, Perez.

W-We're just getting started, bud.

We're down a man, Cap.

Someone's got to pick up the slack.

It's like what you said, right?

We got a man down

it's not all on you.

All right, let's do it.

Come on, Three Rock!

Let's dig, but pace yourselves, all right?

We got the tools.

Finally gonna let me know

why you forced me on this little field trip?

Some sort of power move?

This isn't about you and me.

It's about helping Nolan.

Two years in the minors.

Season in the majors.

Years of coaching under my belt.

But somehow you're the expert on helping my player?

I know what he's going through.

No way that's true.

Nolan's not a washout, he's a good kid.

He planted the smoke bombs

because he doesn't want to play tonight.

Why would he do that?

Because he's taken all your team's losses on his shoulders.

He didn't say...

Wh-What is he gonna say?

What, say

tell you that he's struggling?

My guess is he thinks that that'll make him

look like a loser in your eyes.

I was a good kid, too.

Hey, just try and be easy on him.

Just don't... don't let Nolan go down

the same path that I did.

I can help him.

Then help him now.

Kid's cold, scared...

Just coach him through it.

Hey, Chief, we got 'em.

Great. Bring 'em up top.

Soon as Three Rock hits the culvert,

fire 'em up and go to work.

Copy that. Let's go.

Eve, how's it going?

Yeah, we got about one foot to go.

Hey. Can I talk to Nolan?

And no more tough coach.

Okay? I swear.

Hey. Nolan.

I'm back.

Coach.

I'm so sorry.

Nothing to be sorry for, Nol.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Okay.

Hey...

Hey, Coach?

It's...

It's... it's getting loud in here.

Sorry, Nolan, that's all the digging up top.

No...

It.

Sounds like

like... like water.

There's a, drainage pipe,

leads to the culvert from up north.

The part of the county that got hit by rain today?

Guys?

What does that mean?

Okay, hey... listen, Coach

the junction chamber, it's filling up with water.

And if it fills faster than we can get him out, then...

He could drown.

Coach?

Please! P-Please hurry!

Try to stay calm, Nolan.

Three Rock's almost done digging.

It's getting closer!

What do I do? What-what do I do?!

Hey. Nol.

You remember that curve ball you threw against Central

that won the game?

Okay, just imagine that pitch.

Relax your shoulders, you found the seam,

you cranked back,

and you let it go, smooth.

Just like that. Let's do it again.

Yeah?

Yo, fire dude.

Hey. How'd the pep rally go?

I crushed it.

Attagirl.

Got to get to the game.

Hey, hey. You know what?

Hi, I'm Jake.

My fiancée

died before I could even propose.

I want to be the father to her kid,

who's in Idaho with her biological dad.

And that kills me.

And if that doesn't scare you away.

I would love to get your number.

O-Only

if you'll use it.

Hey, Kimbro? Kimbro!

Told you I'd meet you in the parking lot.

You, you going to the hospital?

Nolan's parents are out of town.

I want to be there for him.

Yeah, well, let us, let me know how he is.

Hey, I... I saw you nursing your knee earlier

at the dugout fire.

Is that the... the old injury acting up?

Nah, this is something new.

Yeah, well, tore my shoulder a few years ago.

It's what ended my career.

Here. These help.

I pop one every now and then for the pain.

Consider it a thank-you.

Firefighter to firefighter,

I don't know what kind of relationship

you have with Bode, but

you read his storminess like a book out there today.

You really get him.

I think he has someone else who gets him now.

Okay, well, you know, it was just an observation.

You know, I...

Uncle Luke, you got a sec?

Hey, Gabs. Yeah, of course. What's up?

No way.

What's on your mind?

I can't let a patient loss cost me firefighting.

I won't.

Okay.

So don't let it.

Look, Bode.

Losing a patient, it's a bad outcome, you know?

Holding a man while he dies and

sitting there

with him the whole time afterwards, that's

well, that's one of the worst possible outcomes.

Unfortunately, it's not gonna be your last.

I just.

I didn't realize it would take me out like it did.

You and my parents make it look so easy.

Just fun.

Yeah, well, that was a disservice to you.

And I'm sincerely sorry if we made it seem that way.

Like I said, more losses are coming to you,

to us, to anybody in this field.

But that's what the chiefs are for.

Yeah, that's what your fellow firefighters are for.

Gabriela, for instance.

She and I aren't... Yeah, I know.

But I think she gets you, man.

Just an observation.

Anyhow, Kyoto's only a 16-hour time difference

and a phone call away, so,

so pick your poison, Bode.

'Cause you're gonna have to lean on someone.

Otherwise this job will eat you up alive.

You are not the rebound.

You were my partner in the rebuild.

Into what I am today.

I thought that Renée loved me

and wanted to be with me, but

when I told her I wanted to stay here, be a firefighter

turned out she had other plans.

And she made me feel like I was making

the biggest mistake I was ever gonna make

by not coming with her.

And I tried to talk to my dad about it,

but he just told me real men don't show weakness.

You know...

So I never

I never spoke to anybody about it again.

Walter.

I-I love the guy, but

he really is the gift that keeps on giving.

You love everything that I love.

And you still manage to love me.

So.

Way I see it,

Renée prevented me from making

the biggest mistake I was ever gonna make.

'Cause she took off.

Let me find you.

I love being your partner.

Hey, Vin?

Sorry.

Why? Why?

Okay, Luke.

I'll miss you.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.

You ready?

Yeah. What's in the bag?

Nothing. What's in the bag?

It's... it's nothing.

I thought we were going to the game.

Yeah, we're not.

But Greg Shinkle is.

Come on, Vin, hey.

Come on, man, it's my last night in town.

It's just... harmless fun.

Your stash looks a little light.

We'll take my truck. Come on.

Hey, get the door! Get the door!

Bye, Sharon.

Ooh, wait till you see this. Read 'em and weep, fellas.

How do you do it every time, bro?

You want in, Birch?

Yo, Birch?

One hand before you have to roll out, bro.

Birch?

Come on, homie, it'll be fun.

Hey, Birch?

Hey, bro, wake up.

He's sweating, but no fever.

Hey, Birch.

Wake up, brother.

Hey, hey.

Birch?

His fingers are blue.

No. No.

Hey, somebody call Cap, tell her to call 911.

Big Mike, grab me a med bag quick.

On his side, on his side.

Let's go.

Hey, buddy, I got you, hey.

Birch, Birch, Birch. Come on.

Station 42.

Patient in distress.

5175 Averthal Drive.

That's Three Rock.

We found him unconscious.

Eve lost his pulse

about 15 minutes ago. Okay.

I got it, Dad.

What happened?

Did he get hurt?

He had a cold.
