- Oh, man.

I'm really never gonna see my puppets again.

- You okay?

- The fiery mascot really brought back bad memories.

The smell of burning felt really turned my stomach.

- Aw, I know it's painful, but it'll get better with time.

- It's been 14 months.

When is the hurtin' gonna stop?

[phone buzzes] - hi, gampy.

- Is that my favorite fire-fighting pirate?

- Commish.

Tell the commish I said hi. - Gampy, ike says hi.

- Who the hell is ike? - You know ike.

I work with him.

- Oh. Uh, hello, sir.

- That's one of the idiots that burned down my station!

- It's--it's not ike.

Tell him it's not--stop. - Stop what?

- You're looking at someone else.

This isn't ike. Lucy! Turn the phone around.

What's the matter with you? - Oh, oh, oh. Sorry.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Say it was a different ike.

- What's up, gampy?

- What happened to the mascot?

- Oh, petey the parrot, chief. - I don't care. What happened?

- Costume caught fire. Silly string.

- Fucking silly string. It's worse than glitter.

You guys are supposed to monitor

Candle-lightings at birthday parties.

- We had two heat-exhaustion calls.

And that stupid dickhead parrot was supposed to wait for us.

- Chief, can I speak to you?

- Uh, we got to go check davy jones' locker.

His torches might be burning too hot, so...

- I don't need an excuse. Just leave.

- Sorry, chief. - [clears throat] okay. Great.

Chief. - What happened today

At the birthday arrrchipelago? - Silly string fire.

- Ah, fuckin' silly string, huh?

[chuckles] nothing good comes from it.

- [chuckles] - and, uh, where was your crew?

- Well, we had multiple heat-exhaustion calls.

And paulie jumped the gun on the candles.

He was supposed to wait, so... - Paulie who?

- The parrot. Paulie the parrot.

- It's petey. - Oh, my bad.

Petey is my nephew.

So how do I explain that to his mother?

- Well, hopefully his mother is one of those parrots

That speaks english. [laughs] - really?

Do you mind if we parley, terry?

I'm starting to get the impression

That you don't like this job.

- That's not true, sir.

- You don't know the mascot's name.

- Pete the parakeet. - Petey the parrot.

Pirates have parrots, not parakeets.

- What's the difference?

- I don't know, actually.

This is a special place, terry.

I need someone who's gonna loot and plunder with me

On this voyage.

- Well, I will loot and plunder with you on the voyage, sir.

- Good, 'cause life is too short

To do things you don't want to do, terry.

And I'm sure you don't want to make me

Make you walk the plank.

- What? - I'm joking. Oh, come on.

Sometimes I can make a pirate joke, too, you landlubber.

- [chuckles] hey. - Right?

- Just batten down the hatches, hmm?

Not a joke. - Okay.

[sighs]

- Hey. What did skipper say?

- Dead men tell no tales.

- Ha ha! "weekend at bernie's," yeah.

- I got some good news from gampy.

The rebuild on station 24 is done.

- Good for the tfd. - That's not all.

Turns out they're understaffed.

He said it would be a headache

To pull people from other stations,

So I suggested he take us back.

- Ha! Yeah right. He would never do that.

- He said yes! - Oh! Stop lying.

- What? - Yes!

- We're all going back to station 24, just like that?

[chuckles] it's almost too easy, luce.

- What about andy? Is andy coming back?

- No, no, definitely not-- he's working full-time

For his uncle's carpet company now.

- I thought he didn't love that job.

- No, he's in the showroom now,

And apparently it's pretty low-key.

- Oh, is that what he's looking for?

Something low-key? - Low-key's cool.

So, dad, what do you say?

- Best of luck to you.

- Oh, come on.

You hate this job. - I don't hate this job.

- Is this about uncle eddie?

- Eddie has nothing to do with it.

- We can get him to come back, too.

- It's not about eddie!

Besides, I hear he's got a new job, so...

- Okay, well, gampy said we can go to the station.

So why don't you come with us

And see what they've done to it?

- [sighs]

[hopeful music]

Wow. Both: Whoa!

- Unbelievable. - This is amazing.

- Son of a bitch. - This is our station.

- Shiny! - [chuckling] oh, baby!

A lot different than when we last saw it, huh?

- Yeah. There's actually a roof.

- [chuckles] - look at this--

New workbench, washer-dryer.

- Granny, what's wrong, man. You okay?

- I just got a little shiver

Remembering my puppets, you know?

- Just take it slow, man.

Lot to take in. [chuckles]

Aw, man.

What the hell?

Didn't the door used to be here?

- Oh, I heard for structural reasons,

They had to move everything a few inches to the left.

- Yeah. No, I've heard of that. That makes sense.

You can kind of tell.

- Huh.

- Whoo. - So?

- It looks good. - Yeah?

- We should burn down our station more often.

- Hey, you guys! [chuckles]

Look at this.

Whoa! They redid everything. Are you kidding me?

Look at the kitchen! It's brand-new.

- And new chairs! Whoo! [chair buzzes]

Wait, there's a vibrating button.

- Ha. Eddie always wanted one of those.

[chuckles, sighs]

I'm gonna go look around.

- All right. [chuckles]

I'm gonna go check out the bunk room.

[chuckles]

Damn!

It really is a game of inches.

- Certainly seems like there's more space around here.

- Right?

Oh!

- Granny, why didn't you save us?

- You let us burn!

Shame! Shame!

- [screams]

- What? - Uh, it's just--

I'm really impressed with this new fridge.

- Whoo.

- Hey, guys.

There's a great new captain's office.

Eddie would love it.

Oh, and there's actually a bidet in the chief's bathroom,

Which I know he'd want to use.

- Yeah, but what did you think?

- [sighs] I think I miss the place.

I'm coming back to station 24.

- Whoo! - Yeah!

- Yes! - Awesome!

- Yay.

- On one condition.

Eddie comes back, too.

He was my right-hand man after all.

- Okay.

Let's go get uncle eddie.

- All right! - [laughs]

- Whoo! Getting the team back together!

- Whoo! Oh. - Oh, jesus.

- Wait, this was a push before, though, right?

- His blood pressure's dropping.

We're losing too much blood.

- I know, I'll give him my blood.

- Will that work? - Absolutely. I'm o-negative.

- Don't go to the light!

- Rhonda, this isn't how it works.

- Research says people don't know how it works,

So it's okay. - Yeah, but if she gave him

A person-to-person transfusion like this...

[screaming in distance] the chances of her killing him

Are remarkably high-- like, he's gonna die.

- People don't care, eddie.

All right. Uh, let's cut.

Uh, can we get nick up in here

With some more soot, please? - Okay.

- Ed penisi, technical consultant.

- Hey! What's up, guys?

- Oh, cap, when you said you were working

For a different fire department,

This is not what I pictured.

Looks like a tv show or something.

- It's the new rhonda shimes spin-off of "pittsburgh fd."

It's called "pittsburgh fd: Seattle."

It's pretty good. - Oh, cool.

- Huh? - Oh.

- Whoo. Look at uncle eddie.

You've gotten so big...Time.

- Yeah. Little more sitting around

Than I'm used to, but I'm not complaining.

- Hey, captain eddie.

Thanks for the tip with the helmet earlier.

I owe you one. - Yeah, you got it, cassie.

- Wait, cap. Who's that girl? I think I know her.

- Oh, that's cassie carrison, the lead actress.

She's a crossover from "pittsburgh fd: Austin."

- No way. Cool. - Oh, that's why.

- She's huge in australia.

- Was she in "dugglywumps"? - Yes.

And also she was on that australian soap opera

"great barrier reef housewives" or something like that.

I don't know. Oh, thank you, hannah.

I love this gig-- best gig I've ever had.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away.

- [sighs]

- This is free? - Every day.

- Cap, this job is "noyce."

- So, anyway, the station's ready.

I'm gonna go back, and I was thinkin'

We shouldn't go back without our captain, right?

- You expect me to leave all of this?

They lent me a convertible. - Oh, wow.

- Thanks, hannah.

- You should see the station, though.

Your office is redone.

There's vibrating buttons on the lounge chairs now.

Oh, and I have a bidet in my bathroom.

You can use it whenever you want.

- I have a bidet in my trailer.

- Cap, this is so awesome.

I can't believe you-- - ike, zip it.

- No, I know. I-I-- - lucy, he's right.

I love it here.

I get to pitch rhonda shimes ideas.

I'm learning all kinds of new things.

- Points! Points!

- A little warning, pal. - Yeah.

- That actually was the warning--"points."

That means watch your back, something's coming through.

- Listen, I was saying,

It would be great if you came back.

- My father fired me.

- We could get him to change his mind.

- He owes me an apology.

- He's not gonna apologize to you.

- Then I'm not coming back.

- Hey, eddie, can you help me get these suspenders off?

I can't figure them out. - I'll be right there, cass.

- Cheers, legend. - Cheers, big ears.

[scoffs] actors, am I right?

- Wow. - Take it easy.

- ♪ eddie ♪

- [chuckles] okay, best job ever.

- Ike, shut up.

- He wants an apology from his father?

There's no way. - There is a way.

You got to grovel. You want me to grovel for him?

- If you want to get him back here, yes.

That's what I did to get us back here.

Hey, sometimes it's worth it.

- Did you see his ass?

- [laughs] I know, right? It's huge.

- What's in there, pudding? [both laugh]

- [sighs] oh, man.

Granny... - Hmm?

You okay, man? You seem tired.

- I just haven't been sleeping well lately.

- I think we've got something that's gonna cheer you up.

- Okay, granny, ike and I got you something

To make you feel more at home in the new station.

- Come on.

- Come on, you didn't have to do this.

- Eh, it's an present. Come on, man.

- I didn't even get you guys anything.

- Nah, just open it. - Don't worry about it

- Come on. [chuckles]

- [gasps] oh, my!

A brand-new fireman bob puppet?

Thanks, guys. - Yeah.

- Wow.

- Granny... - [screams]

- Don't let him burn, too, asshole.

- Aah!

I can't take it anymore. I see dead puppets.

Everywhere!

- Granny, wait. Granny!

[sighs]

[person laughing wildly]

- Are you fucking crazy?

An apology? [continues laughing]

- Wolf boykins is the one who blew up the station.

- And eddie was the captain on duty.

- And I was the chief.

- And I ain't apologizing to you either.

The only reason you're coming back

Is because of my perfect, angelic granddaughter

Used her sorcery on me.

- Dad. May I call you dad?

- No.

- Eddie wants to come back.

- How about you apologize to me?

- For what? - For quitting.

- No way. - Grovel.

- I'm sorry for quitting. - Say you'll never quit again.

- I will never quit again.

- "thank you for making me chief

Because I married your daughter."

- I am not saying that.

- You want eddie back, you'll say it.

- [sighs]

Thank you for making me chief

Because I married your daughter.

- Okay.

I accept your apology.

- You do? - Yeah.

Groveling is not a good look on you, terry.

- So you'll apologize to eddie, though?

- You're so pathetic that, yes, I will apologize.

- [sighs]

- As long as he apologizes to me first.

- For what? - For burning down my station!

- Fine.

I'll see what I can do.

[sighs]

- Damn it! Come on!

This meteor's too hot!

It's melting the forceps.

- His oxygen's low. We need to hurry!

Damn you, meteorite!

- Rhonda, technically, if a meteor hits somebody,

They would die instantly.

And, of course, if they survived,

Anything hot enough to melt those forceps

Would burn right through his chest cavity.

- Thanks for that, eddie.

Hey, I hear the beef-jerky truck

Just showed up.

Why don't you grab something? - Come on!

- Where do they keep coming from?

- Okay, sure. Yeah. - [grunts]

Take me next time!

- Yeah, buddy, I will take--

- Hey, eddie.

- Hey, terry. Hang on a second.

Mango habanero bag, please.

You want some beef jerky? - Yeah, always. [chuckles]

Let me get that.

- Hey, I told you, everything's free--here.

- A truck full of free beef jerky?

- Mm-hmm.

- You really do have it good here.

- That I do.

- Listen, the reason I came here is to tell you

That your father has agreed to apologize to you.

- He did? - Yeah.

- Jerky. - Mm. Thank you.

Wow. - Provided...

You apologize to him, too.

- For what? - The station burning down.

- Not gonna happen.

- Hey, hey, what do you mean "not gonna happen"?

What are you talkin' about?

Hey, I humiliated myself for you.

- Not my problem.

- Hey, wait a minute.

Hey! Don't you walk away from me.

Hey, it is your problem.

- Terry mcconky, this is rhonda shimes,

Creator of the show.

- Oh. - The terry mcconky?

Eddie's always going on about you.

"terry this, terry that."

- Oh.

Rhonda, uh, my wife, vicky, and I very much enjoy

Your programs.

We've watched all 32 seasons of "grey's academy."

Yeah, so... [alarm ringing]

- What's happening, eddie?

- The air bottles have run out of air.

Hang on. - Oh.

- [chuckles]

- Damn it, eddie, I went in there and ate crow for you.

He did the thing where he makes you repeat

What he says, even though you don't want to.

- Oh, I hate when he does that. - I did that for you!

- Good. You should have. - What does that mean?

- [groaning, gasping]

- All right, all right. [both gasp]

- Did you ever think that maybe you're to blame

For this, too? - Me?

- You quit.

You didn't help me because you had

One foot out the door to pirate world.

- I had nothing to do with you getting fired.

That was between you and your father.

- Yeah? Well, I'm not coming back.

And you can thank yourself for that.

- You know, eddie, the only bigger ass

Around here than you is your ass.

- [gasps] - hot points.

- Hot points you! I'm going back to pirate world.

- That your mate? - No, he's not my mate.

Ah, damn it.

- What's going on? - Hey.

- Hey. - There he is.

Thanks for coming, man.

- We know you've been struggling,

So we wanted to connect you to your ghost

So you can lay it to rest.

We're gonna have a séance.

- You guys, I don't need a séance.

- Come on, please, sit down. Join us.

- All right. - Okay.

- Fine. [groans]

- So we're gonna connect to your puppets.

This is gonna be for the best. - This is a wa-gee board.

Apparently it's magic. We haven't tried it yet, but--

- Never done this before, so, um...

- We're just gonna dive in. Three, two, let's go.

- Fireman bob, if you're out there,

We seek to connect with you.

Both: Are you here...

- With us? - Right now?

[suspenseful music]

- Okay, uh, my arms feel

Like they are just floating right now.

Granny, this is freaky.

I swear to god I am not moving this thing at all.

- Uh, y?

Y. - This is...

A little scary and pretty exciting.

- E.

- I think it's trying to spell something.

Let...

- D? What does "yed" mean?

D? - Hey, you guys.

You know what? - You said for sure.

- We don't need to do this. It's okay.

- Why don't we talk to fireman bob directly?

- Yes. There is another way.

- [sighs] - granny, if you'll indulge us

One more time.

- Fireman bob, we are here to connect

And just are gonna keep our eyes closed in prayer

And--and love and deep understanding

And all things...

- If we open our eyes, and we say three, two, one.

- Oh, god! - It's okay, granny.

It's okay. It's okay. He's here to forgive you.

- Do you think I'm a crazy person?

- No. - Do you think I need

Forgiveness from a burnt puppet?

- You've been seeing ghosts, granny.

- Ugh, look, I've been struggling with my memories,

And that's understandable.

But it doesn't mean that I think

That my puppets are ghosts.

That's insane.

- Wait, wait, wait. Not in front of him.

I mean, we want to keep him in this dimension.

We don't want-- - okay, look.

I appreciate what you guys are doing, all right?

But most of all, I'm just glad to be back here with you guys.

I love you, all right?

I'ma be all right.

But did you have to go and burn a perfectly new puppet?

- We had good intentions. - I know you did.

- Thanks for coming, granny. Oh, well, you blew that.

- I told you the puppet was a bad idea.

- He's really freaking me out, actually.

- Yeah. Let me get rid of it. - [screams]

- Wow.

I like what they've done with the place.

- Oh, you got to be fucking kidding me!

- What the hell are you doing here?

- Lucy...

Told me they were doing the big ribbon-cutting ceremony

For the new station.

She said they had

The big scissors waiting for me.

I've been "parent trapped."

- She said she found my recipe-nisi book

And that it didn't burn in the fire.

Was that a "parent trap"? - It was.

And your book did burn. - "parent trap."

- I don't appreciate being "parent trapped," young lady.

- You two should be ashamed of yourselves.

Dad put himself out there, and you both crapped on him,

And now he's gone, and you're gonna fix it.

Gampy, apologize. - No way.

- You set an example right now.

- [sighs]

Sorry I fired you...

When you burned down my station.

- Okay. - Close enough.

You, apologize.

- No way. - Apologize!

- Okay. Jeez.

I'm sorry you think I burned down the station,

When you know it was wolf boykins.

- Close enough.

Now figure out how you're gonna get my dad back here.

- Whoa. - Wow.

She really knows how to get to me.

Jeez, your ass is huge.

- What? It's muscle.

[rock music]

- Thank you, jeff.

- Are churros free?

- For me, it is.

- Seems like a pretty good place to work.

- There some reason you're here?

- So I was thinking about going back to station 24,

And I was wondering if you wanted to come with me.

- Did you dad apologize to you? - Yeah. Lucy tricked us.

- "parent trap"? - Yeah, a good one.

- Good for her.

- All right, terry...

- What are you doing? - Terry mcconky...

- Oh, jesus. - Will you make me

The happiest fire captain in the world

And say yes to coming back to station 24 with me?

- Say "terry, you're the best chief ever."

- Ha ha ha ha. Okay, we're doing this?

- Yeah.

- Terry, you're the best chief ever.

- "terry, you won the shrimp-eating contest in 1997."

- Terry, you won the shrimp-eating contest

Back in 1997.

- Say "terry, I will never have sex in your office."

- Terry, I will never have sex in your office.

- That's a lot to promise. Think you can live up to it?

- That's how much you mean to me.

And, yes, I do.

- Eh, get up. - Ahh.

Ah. Oh, my god.

That's so weird. How did that happen?

- Yeah, I figured.

- Friends? - [grumbles]

All right, peace offering. Have a churro.

It's...[spanish accent] churro. - Yeah, churro.

That's what I said. - No, no. Choo-ro.

- Chor-o. That's what I'm saying.

- Okay. And thank you. I accept.

Although I probably shouldn't,

'cause I got to dump some junk from my trunk.

- I was gonna say that.

You're lookin' a little haunch-y.

- It's very haunch-y. Here you go, parrot.

- Yeah, thanks, bubble butt.

- What did you say?

- Oh! - Okay. All right.

Wow. Your ass really packs a wallop.

- Let's get out of here. - Yeah. Let's get out of here.

Here.

[rock music]

- Hey, look at this guy, huh? - Whoa-ho-ho.

- The old uniform makes your butt look smaller.

- I know it. Slimming. - Oh.

- Man, it feels good to be back in uniform.

You look good, too, chiefy. - Thank you.

Hey, aren't rhonda shimes and "pittsburgh fd: Seattle"

Gonna miss you? - Ah, who cares?

They never listened to what I said.

I think I was just eye candy. [buzzer blares]

- Box alarm, engine 24, rescue 42,

Respond on the box. - Let's do it.

- Priority one, to 29th street and lotus.

- It's a pull. Ah, I'm getting it.

Oh! So close. - Come on.

- Hey, who's gonna be the technical consultant

On that tv show?

- Ah, well, it just so happens I found them a replacement.

I think he's gonna be perfect for them.

- And eddie really recommended this guy?

Not sure why.

- Now, here's a tip from a real firefighter.

So there I am-- I'm on the 60th floor

By myself. - Hold on, mate.

There's no buildings that tall in seattle.

- Not important.

- So I'm up there on the 60th floor by myself--

- Wait a minute. Didn't you work in tacoma?

- You guys are really getting hung up on the details.

The point I'm trying to make is when you deliver that line,

It's got to be epic.

Can I give you a line read? - Sure.

- The only way that fire's gonna win...

Is over my dead body.

And scene. Huh?

- Great, yeah. Perfect.

- Points! - Oh! My scapula!

- Yeah, can we get an ambo for dingo over here?

- It's wolf.
