Previously on Fire Country.

Hey, Birch.

You're sweating with no fever.

Hey, somebody call CAP.

It's hard to call 911.

The ER doctor said the cold must have taken him out. The cold doesn't do that.

Memory care?

Assisted living? Full -time care.

I kind of don't buy it. I don't think we can afford to buy it. Silver alert,

missing senior.

Brody, it's probably only. But the most important thing is you're okay.

Come on, let's go upstairs.

Hey, Manny, what's wrong?

You're sweating with no fever. Just like urge.

Greencrest, this is 3 Rock Crew 4.

I have a patient with respiratory distress and I need an ambulance right

Mr. Perez, I'm Dr. Grachy with Toxicology.

How are you feeling?

Oh, you know, like I ate roadkill.

Your lab showed significant levels of organophosphate.

What's that?

Pesticide poisoning.

We're going to administer atropine.

It's an involuntary nervous system blocker.

Also some prolidoxine.

A nerve agent inhibitor? It helps with this kind of poisoning.

Improves respiratory function.

We'll monitor his kidney function for a few days.

The goal is to avoid organ failure.

God. Yeah.

This has to be what got Birch.

Yeah, good point.

How do you get exposed to organophosphate?

It could be a number of things. Food, landfill, chemicals.

Yeah, we had a guy die suddenly at our fire camp.

No explanation why.

Then I would definitely call CDC, our health.

Have the camp tested.

I'll check on you later.

You two need to go.

Before they close the roads and cap, you have to check on the three rock guys.

Yeah, will do. Just keep fighting.

I love you.

Hang in there, Dad.

Ground control to Probie Leone.

I'm sorry.

I was distracted with Manny in the hospital.

Taking my nun home to his new home today.

One of us in memory care.

Or as he calls it, club dead.

He has a way with words, doesn't he? Yeah, so I'm worried about him.

I just don't want him to lose his sense of purpose in that place.

What choice do you really have if he needs a higher level of care?

He thinks all he needs is microwave dinners and Warriors games.

He's pissed.

He's taking it all out on my dad.

He and my mom are stressing about how to pay for it. It's a new home that he

doesn't even want.

It's like nobody wins.

You know my present mom's Lynette.

Before she was incarcerated, her mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

And one day she realized you really can't make them happy.

You've just got to keep them comfortable and distracted.

What's with the bandage?

I was clearing some trees.

Side gig I was doing for some extra cash.

For who?

An old friend.

You don't know.

I gotta go.

Okay.

Comfortable and distracted.

That's my new MO.

I'm so glad you made it. Yeah, thanks for coming, kid.

Thought I could start with the stock fridge.

I'll probably need a few of those by the end of the day, too.

All this go in the truck?

Yeah.

Good morning.

What's going on?

What are you doing with my stuff?

Uh, it's moving day.

Over to Buena Vista like we've been talking about for a while. Well, I

agree to anything.

Oh, uh, you did, Walter.

No, I didn't.

Bodie, put my stuff back in my room.

No, no, why don't we... Why don't you and I sit down and have a cup of coffee

first?

What smells like my grandma's kitchen in a Tuscan B &B?

Well, that would be buttermilk waffles, family recipe, thick -cut bacon, and a

fruit plate that you weren't supposed to see until I brought it to you.

Breakfast in bed.

It's old enough.

That's the girl who's wearing my T -shirt.

Oh, well, you know, I didn't want to pour myself back into last night's

Well, you can wear my T -shirt anytime you want, but I do have a roommate.

Oh, my God. I have no pants on.

Well... He has already left for the day.

For future reference.

So they're the future?

Oh, I... Oh,

it's here.

My rejection letter for that dream company I interviewed with.

I... I got the job.

Well, congratulations.

That's amazing.

No.

No, this doesn't make any sense.

I am fresh out of law school.

It's a highly paid in -house physician.

It never happened.

But it did, because that company knows something that I do.

That you're amazing.

Take the line.

I'll bet you've been looking forward to this day for a long time, huh, Ben?

Yeah, just take me to some home, throw a blanket over my lap, point me to the

sun. No, no, that's not fair.

Actually, Dad, if you really want to know, I've been doing everything that I

to avoid it. Well, I want to talk to Luke because he would never agree to

I'm sorry you don't remember this, but you did talk to Luke. I bet you are

sorry. Why don't we talk about the Warriors game? How about the Warriors?

that game last night. You and Luke, you had many, many conversations. You played

some mind game. I mean, well, two conversations. I don't remember.

I know you don't. If Luke agreed to this, that means you manipulate him just

like you always do. Okay, enough!

The road is closed up ahead.

It's flooded out.

The storm is going to be way worse where we're going.

Should we turn around?

We'll go to the station and we'll wait it out there.

Go to my old station over Club Dead?

I'm in. Let's go.

Why don't you ride out the storm in the break room, Dad?

Hey, I was fighting fires when you were in diapers, and I used to run this place

in case you forgot.

Used to. Long time ago. Hey, Vince, come on. And you did it damn well.

I taught you everything you know, and now you're acting some big shot around

huh? Yeah, you taught me a lot, both good and bad. Never said otherwise.

Oh, bad.

Let's hear that, huh? Oh, I see what you're doing. Now you're going to

about what a bad upbringing you had just to justify your actions?

I don't have to justify my actions.

Yeah.

Because you're sick.

I'm sorry, you're sick.

Okay.

Not my fault.

Quit trying to blame me for it.

After everything I did for you and your brother, after your mother split... Mom

didn't split.

She suffered you for me and Luke for as long as she could. And yeah, when Luke

turned 18, she got out. You know why? Because she couldn't stand you anymore!

She didn't give you your career!

I gave that to you, Vinnie. I gave it to you! And this is how you repay me?

You dump me in some home like I'm a piece of garbage so I can rot away?

I'll never forgive you for this.

Ever.

Good.

We'll both have something we don't forgive each other for.

I'm gonna kick your ass!

There he is! Come on, Dad!

There he is. Come on, Dad.

This is breaking my heart.

He's a proud man, losing his grip on life.

Please be patient with him.

He loves you more than you think.

Yeah, still showing that love.

Same way he did when I was a kid, with a belt to her fist.

He probably won't even remember doing it.

Well, the first part, those are his demons, not yours.

And the second, that's the illness, not the man.

Chief, just got a call.

Point Cruz Lighthouse needs an evacuation 30 miles north of Petrolia.

stairwell collapsed and I think I should get up there before the storm gets

closer.

Hey, is everything okay?

Yeah.

What can I do to help?

Why don't you take Bodhi with you?

He could probably use the work to focus on.

Sure.

Thank you, Jake.

Hey, did I hit Violet in your room this morning when I was leaving?

All right, all right.

Yeah, I mean, it's moving fast, but I did put my foot in my mouth.

How? Well, I made a comment for future reference, and she was

like, oh, so we have a future. So fast, fast.

Yeah, yeah, fast, fast.

Bia wanted to be like, hell yeah, we have a future. But, you know, that's too

much.

And then she got an email that changed the subject. So, saved by the bell, I

guess.

Biblical out there. In here, too.

Fire and brimstone.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey! What's going on here?

Let's yak in a more stack and let's go.

Happy Chief.

On it, sir.

You hear that?

Chief, sir, that's respect. You and Vinnie can learn from these young guns.

we do respect you, Walter.

Could you please respect me, retired Chief, sir, father -in -law, and not

orders at my crew?

Now, listen, what you got to do with these kids is you got to... Walter?

Walter.

Hey, Chief, you want me on sandbag, did you?

Yeah. Let's go.

A little yakking before the stacking. How's your dad?

He's better. He's stabilized.

Oh, thank God.

Maybe first Berton, now Manny.

Yeah, they found high levels of pesticide poisoning in his blood work.

what? From where?

Still unknown.

But at least we know what it is now.

And Eve's on it. She's not going to stop until she figures it out. She better

not.

Thank you for coming. The stairs inside the place fell apart.

An entire tour group of Brits are stranded up there.

All right, hey, a little help with the ladder.

All right, can you keep these people back and safe? Thank you.

Okay. Everyone, hold tight.

We're here. We're going to get you down.

How's that happen?

It's an old -ass building. That's how major code violations.

Oh, Vince, is that you?

All right, listen up. This is the plan.

We're going to stabilize the ladder on the landing and egress those turrets

slowly, one at a time.

Hey, everyone, step away from the railing. We'll get you down shortly.

All right, guys. See you later.

Here you go, Terry. Here's a few more sandbags out back, and any used sandbags

can go in the landfill after the storm.

Hey, Finn.

Hey.

How's your leg?

It's better.

Not going to be running any marathons anytime soon.

Full disclosure, I already wasn't gonna.

Um, can I take a look?

No, no, no. You don't have to do that.

Come on. I could use the distraction.

But my dad's in the hospital.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I hope so.

Here.

Wow.

Gloves and everything.

We've done this before.

Ow.

Okay. You know what? I'm going to distract us both.

Lightning round. Ready?

Early bird or night owl?

I'm a firefighter. I've got to be both.

That's a great answer.

All right. Your turn. Go.

Dogs or cats?

Both, too. If it has spur, I love it.

All right. My turn.

Ocean or mountains?

Definitely ocean.

I used to be a diver.

Like for sunken treasure?

No.

Like for something called the Olympics.

Are you serious?

It's not as cool as it sounds.

I choked and I came in 14th.

The Olympics. I mean, and you fight fires. What don't you do?

I don't do scary movies.

Haunted houses or escape rooms.

She doesn't like a surprise.

There you go. Should be good to go. Just keep the wound covered.

Just one more thing. I just want to look at you in awe one more time.

The Olympics.

Shut up.

Go get your sandbag.

Yes, ma 'am.

Neighbor guy from the hoarder house.

That's cute.

I understand your concern.

Thank you. Thank you. Yes, there is a team there reinforcing the bridge as we

speak. I think... Let's play back.

Shut up.

Thank you, thank you. Oh, my God, thank you.

My friend, he's all messed up. He can't move.

He got hurt real bad. He got impaled on something when we were out surfing in

the storm. In the storm?

Really? Right now, surfing?

Yeah, chasing the 50 -footers, and then got pushed out of a barrel like a rag

doll, and then he hit some beach wreckage on me. Help me, please.

Tell me how this happened.

I, uh, hurled into a wave, hit the shore, and then a sharp pain under my

I was able to walk myself to the van, though, since I feel kind of woozy.

All right, it looks like it's lodged in your ribs.

Did you just yank it out or something?

That would be a little risky. We could, you know, hit an organ or cause a bleed.

We're going to leave it in there until we get to the hospital as soon as the

roads open again.

Can't you, like, airlift me out or something?

Well, that would be dope, right? I see why you'd like that, but a helicopter

can't really land in this weather, right? So you stay here.

Guys, I need some help.

Bring a spine board.

I'll be right back.

You good?

Yeah.

I need you to see doctors and med tech for Three Rock Inc.

Okay?

Hey, Ames.

You okay?

No.

I got this bug, too.

I have no idea what the hell it is.

It's pesticide poisoning.

Manny was diagnosed and treated, and I'm working to get that for everybody else.

Hey, Three Rock.

Listen up.

Hey, I'm sorry that you guys aren't feeling well, and I'm pushing DOC Health

Admin to get you guys the help that you need. All right, I'm calling for an

immediate work stoppage, and I'll be advising 42 that you guys are just down

out for the count right now. But I need you to stay hydrated, okay?

Everybody, stay hydrated, because I'm going to get you help. I promise.

I promise.

I think all our weight's going to bring down the rest of that landing.

Yeah, well, let's hope not.

But this is our only option.

Either this or we bring them down through the window, which is too risky

all the high winds and rain.

All right. Hey, everyone. Listen.

So what you're going to do is climb down the ladder slowly, all right? We're

going to spot you from down here one step at a time.

All right. First up.

Go slow. You're okay.

There you go.

There you go. All right, next one. Let's go.

There you go. You got it.

Nice and slow.

All right, you're almost there.

All right, go ahead.

There should be one more up there.

One down. Here you go.

I really don't like heights.

You're going to be okay. I got you.

That's an easy.

There you go.

Go slow.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You all right, ma 'am?

I'm not sure.

Bodhi, you okay?

Yeah. What?

Ow, ow, ow. My foot. Did I just break my foot?

Here.

It looks like your ankle.

What's your name?

Lacey.

Sorry if I'm landing on you. Thank you for catching me. Okay, let me check the

back of your neck. Any pain?

Okay, hey, let's get her out of here. Sit her in that chair.

All right.

Three, one, two, three.

Someone else still up there?

Yeah, I'm up here. I'm Carl, the lighthouse keeper.

Okay, sir, just hang tight. We'll reposition the ladder and bring you

no, no, I'm not coming down. Not yet.

What do you mean?

My scanner just squawked about two fishing vessels on a tour ship off

in distress fighting Force 11 northwest wind.

They're at risk of crashing into the rocks after the storm knocked out their

local GPS.

Wrap and ice this.

We'll be back in a sec.

You're doing great.

You need to let go.

Sir, it's time for you to come with us.

With those ships?

Yeah, I heard a matter for the Coast Guard. It's their expertise.

Used to be my family's area of expertise.

Look, I'm a fifth -generation lighthouse keeper.

GPS made us obsolete, antiquated. Turned this place into a tourist stop.

Until today.

What are you saying?

I protect those ships.

So I have to.

I've been trying to light the beacons since the GPS went out.

Okay, so you want to turn this museum into a working lighthouse?

What, to keep their ships from crashing? Keep people from peril? You bet.

Does any of this stuff even still work?

Yeah. Now, if we just open up this panel, refit all the fuses, we could be

You save people, right?

I can help you.

Doctors and meds are on the way, guys.

Put in a request with the DOC to do a chemical audit of the area and test for

exposure.

Feels like the worst food poisoning I ever got hit with.

Yeah, but it can't be the food. I mean, we eat the same, and I'm fine.

I kind of hate you for that, Cap.

Oh, damn, Big Mike.

What do you need, bud?

Refill.

I can't stay hydrated.

Hey, well, look, I'm going to do you one better. I'm going to get you some ice

cold water from my cooler in my office.

No,

Ains, don't.

What? Um, everybody, stop drinking the tap water, okay? Hey, all of these need

to go in the trash, and I'm going to order a pallet of bottled water ASAP.

Hello, this is Captain Eve Edwards with 3 Rock Con Camp. I need our water well

tested ASAP.

Nice work.

Thank you.

Yeah, hope so.

Here's to swimming with mermaid women.

It's a lighthouse thing.

Just turn on the light.

Long night?

Uh, no.

Weird morning.

This is the part where you tell a friend about it.

I don't think I should talk to you about this particular issue.

Well, let me guess.

Bodie?

Yeah?

It's fine. We don't have to talk about it, really.

Yes. We do.

It is bugging you, and he's in my rear view. My future is bright and possibly

with Finn.

Really?

Dish. Okay.

Bodhi said he was working this side job.

It's like, what?

He already has two jobs.

I don't know.

He was just really cagey about it.

Hey, hey, where do you think you're going?

Hey, hey!

I gotta get back out there. These are once -in -a -decade waves.

Where's my van? No, no, no, no. You're not going anywhere, okay?

You want to end up like your buddy in there? No, I totally understand, all

right? I'm aware of octagon and lavender.

That's gibberish.

Oh, my God.

Whoa, hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

He's having a seizure!

Get me some O2 and a BVN!

This baby still has life on her.

Back up, back up.

Hey, get the fire extinguishers now. No, no.

We're sailing blind.

One ship is still out there. Hey, fire first.

Jake, we're losing it.

I got some water here. No, this is an electrical fire. Where's your breaker?

No, no, we can't turn off the electricity.

How are we going to get the beacon back on?

We've got to breach the wall. Make sure the fire doesn't spread inside the frame

of this place. Get back, get back.

We need room, okay? We're trying to save your lighthouse.

All right, B, knock it down.

Hit her right there, Pete.

Hey, host, take the door.

Host is rapid, but strong.

Hey, Tommy, can you hear me?

What happened?

You had a seizure.

Did you hit your head today on something?

Yeah, on some rock. It happens all the time. It's no big deal.

Probably got a concussion.

I want to get back out there. No, no, no. Your brain needs to rest.

No, I need to get back out to the waves.

You need to take care of yourself.

Listen to sound medical advice.

No more sparks.

We're good to go.

With no spread cap, not yet.

Still no ship out there.

If we're to make some light, it'll hit the rocks and sink.

Okay, look, I hear you.

But the beacon won't turn on.

The electrical system is Fritz. That's reality.

We don't need electricity.

Just light.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that we start a small burn during the lamp room.

There's something we can control.

No. Too risky.

One spark goes the wrong way and Carlton's lighthouse goes up.

It's worth the risk.

And I'd risk everything just to save one of those ships.

It's my purpose.

Would the light be bright enough?

Yes. If the Fresnel lens in that beacon is powerful, it'll focus any light 20

nautical miles.

Cap, clock's ticking.

This is Captain Crawford calling for additional units at Point Cruz

in Petrolia.

Requesting additional units.

We're about to light a controlled burn.

Can you just let me know when the road opens up?

Oh, my God. Did you drive here in this storm?

Yeah, I had to.

Three rocks turning into a hospital ward.

Everybody's getting sick.

Oh, honey.

Thank you.

Did the DOC send doctors?

Yeah, but we're going to need more help than that.

Your help. Okay. I think I figured out what's causing the outbreak.

The water.

The water? Everybody's been drinking it but me. I have my own personal cooler in

my office, which explains why everybody's getting sick and not me,

Found the land coordinates of our well source that's in Vesper wetlands.

You're so smart. We can put these contacts into the county database and

owns the land. Maybe we can figure out who's poisoning my guys.

I have one guy that's died, and now I have Manny who's down. This is killing

Sharon. I just... Oh, God. Oh, God. What?

It's Exalta.

Oh. It's the biggest chemical.

company in California. They're one of the most influential benefactors of the

state. They have a senator on their board and a couple of congresspeople.

Well, do you have any contacts there?

I do, but we're going to have to tread lightly.

Exalta is a behemoth.

Just give me something else I can help you with.

Yeah, I told you. There's turnouts in Bay 3. They need a hose down.

A probie job, Vin. Come on.

Well, there's this surfer kid over here.

Keeps chirping about going out in the storm, even though he just had a

You want to talk to him?

You know, because he's stubborn, like you.

Yo, can I get the keys to my van back?

It's not going to happen, Tommy.

Oh, man, just let him go.

The storm, it's once in a lifetime.

Yeah, where he needs to be going is to the hospital with you.

Dude, we've been chasing waves our whole life. I don't expect you to understand.

I understand.

Are you surfed? Oh, not me. No way.

But I did become a firefighter so the thrills would chase me.

Yeah.

I broke protocol all the time.

Risked my life fighting fire so wild cats like you could live another day.

I used to think I was invincible.

But I learned the hard way. None of us really are.

This could be my last chance.

Yeah.

What's your name?

Tommy. Must be hard, huh?

Giving it up.

But you gotta know when to hang it up, Tom.

Do the right thing.

All right, I'll go to the hospital with Rocco.

Nothing? Yeah, me neither.

Ah, I thought I had some matches or a lighter, but I don't.

You want me to run the truck? I'll grab the back. No, the ship could hit the

rocks any minute.

What we need is something that'll create fire. Anything.

Hey, let me see the flashlight for a second.

Jay, do you have any gum on you?

I need the wrapper.

All right, find me something to burn.

Those are tax documents from the 80s.

Yo, B, I was ending up, you know what you're doing.

Here, give me that.

Little prison trick.

More fuel.

Choice Guard, this is Captain Perlmutter of the Queen Margaret.

We register your beacon and the shoreline.

Thank you.

Good job.

Let's get out of here.

Okay.

Morning. Hey.

Boney and I were just talking.

I've actually been up all night thinking about this.

About what?

Buena Vista.

What about it?

We can just forget about it if you want to.

You want to live with us at the house?

We'll make it work.

Your decision.

Well, that's what I've been waiting to hear.

Which part?

That is my choice.

And I choose to go.

So what do you say we pack up these boxes into my truck and head over there

find myself

the

past

feels like i'm near to myself

Hey, I'm gonna come by once a week.

You will for a while, and then you won't, but that's okay. I know how it

Not to come visit.

For your expertise.

You'll make me a better firefighter.

Now you've got 50 years of experience, I want to hear it.

Well, I wouldn't go easy on you.

I wouldn't want you to.

How are you gonna get here if you don't have wheels?

Figured out.

She's yours now.

No, no, I can't. It's okay, it's okay. It'll make me feel good knowing that

you're driving her.

You just don't put any of that fancy gas in there. It's a good old regular. Keep

her clean and just bring her around every once in a while. Let me know

taking care of her.

I will.

Thank you.

I understand Lisa, but I need some more information.

Guys are getting sick.

Division Chief Leone?

Yes. How can I help you?

Attorney Bruce Merriweather.

I work for Exalta International Holdings.

Lisa, that's Clay back.

Was that Lisa Groschen from our board? Yeah. I have some questions for you, Mr.

Merriweather. About our lab facilities near the Vassar Wetlands. Right.

There's a water well there. Our well.

This visit isn't about me answering questions.

It's about how we're going to proceed from now on.

You want to just stand there while I read this, or you want to give me the

bottom line?

All further communications between Cal Fire, Station 42, 3 Rock, and Exalta

International Holdings will cease immediately.

Really? The billion -dollar corporation is lawyering up against some

firefighters and incarcerated men?

Henceforward, all dialogue will be administered through our in -house legal

team. Why is that, Mr. Merriweather? Respectfully, Chief, I don't have to

explain why.

You know, for what it's worth.

I think your station does amazing work.

You saved my house.

2017, the Pines Peak Friars.

Thank you.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out, Mr. Merriweather.

So, about yesterday.

I came on too strong.

Like, wearing your shirt and sharing my queer news, alluding to our future.

Well, I alluded to the future, so... Violet, I...

I like you.

And I do see a future.

It feels crazy, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

But I do too.

Wow. Too much?

No.

My offer came through. They accepted all my terms. Wow, really? All of them?

Yes.

Well, I guess today really is a good day.

Mm -hmm.

Hey, what is the name of the company again?

Oh, it's the Exalta Corporation.

Exalta? Mm -hmm. Cheers.

I'm so happy.

Uh -huh.

Certainly.

You know what's pouring me, right?

I do.

Got it on incident.

Okay.

Look at me.

If the time ever does come when you feel like you need to put me in a place like

Buena Vista, I'll be pissed.

And sour.

I will be...

like my dad because I'll be scared just like my dad

so I

just need you to know that I forgive you in advance

because if that time ever does come that means that means you're doing the right

thing by me

Again. Any luck figuring out Odie's mystery job?

No, but I haven't really had a chance to talk to him about it yet.

Look who it is.

What are the odds?

Finn, this is Audrey.

Hi, I'm Finn.

Yeah, she just said that. Right. Yeah, she did. Wow.

Wow.

I'm going to go get another drink. It was so nice to meet you, Finn.

You too.

Twice in one day. Right? I mean, it kind of feels like the universe is trying to

tell us something.

Yeah? What is that?

I think that the universe is trying to tell us that we should go to dinner

together.

Oh. Is that what the universe wants? Yeah.

Probably some great wine, too.

I'm actually a tequila girl.

Wait, did I say wine because I meant tequila? Yes.

I would love to go to dinner with you, Finn.

Yeah?

Okay.

Name the day.

Jack, did you seriously forget your... Yeah.

Officer Carson.

We gotta talk about your parole, Bodie.

I wanna know why you've been associating with known criminals.
