Previously on Fire Country.

You got them to pay to clean up the rug.

That's not all I got.

You're out! I'm out, baby girl, I'm out. Have you seen the company admitted

negligence? Sharon made a deal. I'd agree not to sue them and sign an NDA.

I don't see how this money is any dirtier than the money that you took

Moving day. Over to Buena Vista.

I'll never forgive you for this.

Ever.

Neighbor guy from the hoarder house.

He's cute. My future is bright and possibly with Finn. I think that the

thinks we should have dinner together.

I'm Captain, and the next step is Battalion Chief.

I just want to know if I'm in line for my job.

Eventually, I appreciate your ambition, but I'm not dead yet.

Copy, Chief.

I was thinking about a front porch kid about to drive me off.

We got out the parking lot around the circle and block.

The man who leaned over to turn the radio off.

I turn the tires on the pick -up truck to where the black top road runs out.

But looks like they're away right now. I'm taking a long way.

Hey,

you leaving?

Uh, yeah. I have an early shift tomorrow.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I know that making a deal with Excelsa was complicated.

And I know that a lot of people weren't happy about it, but you gave me my dad

back. I know. And I know that part of the deal was right.

Okay. I will see you at the station tomorrow.

Okay.

Enjoy tonight.

You still visit your mom?

That's a nice song about that.

You know, our friends own the place. You'd think we'd actually get a laugh

call. Cheers to that. Salud.

Salud.

So, mija, your new boy, he's going to swing by?

Como se llama?

Phil?

Finn, and he's not my new boy. We're still very casual. Oh, come on, Gabs,

be coy.

I mean, he basically met your dad already.

On the phone.

When's the next time you're going to see him?

Uh, tomorrow, actually.

Ah, oh, super casual.

No, he's going to be lending his photography skills for the recruitment

he's going to be doing a ride -along and then taking some action shots. Oh,

cool. Wait, a ride -along with 42?

Yeah, Vince located.

Yeah, at the station that I captained without even giving me a heads up.

All right, closing time.

You coming, Papa?

Uh, nah, nah. I think I'm going to hang back, help buddy close things up.

Hey, man. How are you?

How are you?

Welcome back.

You left the party early?

Yeah.

Um, rest of you go, okay?

Yeah, went off without a hitch.

Except Bodie barely even made eye contact with me.

I didn't realize the exalted deal was going to cost me my son.

Bodie's never been easy, but he always finds his way back to us sooner or

Well, probably sooner rather than later.

We're both working OT tomorrow at 42.

Well, stand your ground.

You did what needed to be done, right?

Yeah.

Maybe having work as a buffer will be a good thing. I wish I had a buffer

tomorrow.

I gotta go see Dad.

For the first time.

What do you mean, for the first time? Went over there the other day to take

blood pressure because he didn't want to spend $12.

Well, turns out $12 was worth it. I never went inside.

Never got out of my truck. Never left the parking lot.

Sorry, I didn't tell you.

You know, when Dad was living with us, that's the most I've seen him in years.

That was really hard for you.

Then he moved out, and it got quiet and easy again.

I just feel like walking into that place tomorrow, asking for a fight.

Look, you really don't have to help me do it.

I paid for my freedom with silence, Bodie.

And it's not that I'm not grateful to your mom. I am.

She should have never put you in that position.

What Exalta did was wrong.

I mean, they put me in the hospital.

But me going free while the rest of my guys are still in there?

Come on, Prince is dead.

Sorry, we're actually closed.

Not looking for a drink.

Just Sharon Leone. Is she around?

No. No, she's not.

I'm her son, Bodie.

Oh, uh, Renee.

Hoffman.

He used to date my dad.

I also used to drink wine out of a box.

Neither are true anymore.

I'm a lawyer, one who's very interested in that deal that your mom just made.

Oh, come on.

You're one of those Exalta lawyers?

When the hell are you guys just going to stop?

Working for Exalta would actually kill my soul, all right? I am looking to

a class action lawsuit.

to get justice for the people who were poisoned. I've been tracking Exalta from

Louisville to Edgewater trying to get their victims to speak out.

I see.

I think you mean trying to get us to break our NDAs, right?

Our NDAs?

How are you involved?

I drink some bad water.

Hmm.

Well, I don't harbor any illusions in flipping NDAs.

But if I could get a meeting with Sharon, then maybe I could get a list of

inmates who might be willing to talk off the record.

If you can get people to talk, then what?

Bodie, don't even think... Man, hey, man.

This could bring Oxalto down.

Right? No promises.

But if I can get those names, we've got a chance.

I can get you the meeting.

Bodie, come on.

I appreciate the assist.

Here you go.

And if you change your mind?

I've only been a free man for a few days and I already got a woman's phone

number.

Would you look at that?

Wow.

These are incredible.

You're an artist.

I can't wait to see you in action.

I should get back to work.

You know, so you could get to work, too.

Right.

Work.

Sorry. It's all good. Kat, I was a little distracted by a man with a giant

camera.

I'm kidding. I told me it was a picture, Dave. I would have worn my hair down or

something.

I'm joking, Kat.

Regulation herself only. Yeah, well, it was news to me, too.

Well, at least you'll be doing cool stuff in Finn's photos.

I'm just ready for a probie period to be done.

I want to start climbing the ladder like you did.

James, you're ambitious.

That's great.

But here?

42 has a ceiling, a hard one.

Your best bet is to learn the skills you need to launch and then move on to a

station that offers growth.

You're not even going to consider it?

Excuse me.

over. All right, look, give him some privacy.

What's the harm in talking to her? Bodhi, she is an ambulance chaser who is

trying to blow the deal I made with Exalta by using Manny. You can say

to all the money I got for him and for Birch's family.

Yeah, you got him money.

What about justice?

I didn't just get them money.

I got Exalta to clean up the camp.

I got the DOC to give Manny back his freedom.

Hey, guys.

Manny isn't free.

Silencing him is just another form of prison. Come on, you cannot be this

Really? I think that maybe you forgot that I went to prison. Bodie, enough.

Chief. This is between me and my son.

Okay, well then you take that to your damn house.

There he's your son. Here, at Station 42, he is a pro - I am your division,

Chief.

Station 42, MPLA at Mount Shasta Park Slope. Let's go, 42.

You didn't want to ride with your boyfriend?

Why does everyone keep saying that?

I don't know what you're talking about. There is a smile permanently glued to

your face.

Oh, Bill.

You're fine.

Then he's cute and funny and talented and thoughtful.

He's totally into you.

Admit it, you're hot for Shutterbug.

Honestly, I haven't looked forward to a first kiss like this in a boat.

What?

Wasn't that long ago. We couldn't even say a B word in front of each other.

Hey, firefighters.

30 minutes ago, the ski lift malfunctioned.

The motor started rotating the bull wheel so fast that the cable snapped.

Anybody on board at the time?

Yeah. The lucky ones had a rough ride up to the lift station and the rest?

Thrown on through the mountain.

Yeah. How many are there?

Ski Patrol is thinking that we have ten, so we need to get going. For us,

they're going to let us use this space for triage. Take who you need and set

Jake, split the rest. Let's get to search and rescue.

Thank you. You too. I need life bags and all the med bags you can spare.

Okay, probes.

Let's go.

Hey, guys.

Back there at the station, things got a little bit tense. Out here in the field,

we let that all go. Worked together as a team, following the chain of command,

of course.

Understood? Copy, Chief.

Yes, ma 'am.

Yo, what you doing up there, O .G.? Hey, you guys are back early. What's up?

What's up, man? Welcome back. Man, I could not get out of that cell fast

I bet, man.

Since you used up in Sacramento trying to organize the D .O .C. side of

I had to make sure my guys had the proper welcome back, huh?

Yo, no lie, when they pulled us up out of here and sent us back to prison, man,

I was scared I was going to be spending the rest of my time behind bars.

Yeah, well, you don't have to worry about that.

You've seen enough. That well's going to be fixed. And all y 'all. You're all

going to be back on calls real soon.

Yeah, like nothing ever happened.

As long as we keep our mouth shut.

Boys! Outside for processing.

Hi, Manny.

It's good to see you, bro.

No offense, but be a stranger, all right?

You're out of here, man. Go enjoy it.

The snowbank can hide the heat, so look for anything that shouldn't be here. I

got nothing.

All right, check me on the tree line.

Gears might have been thrown further than you think.

Pretty bad fight back there, huh?

She's talking about teamwork.

She won't even hear me out.

Thanks for calling her on it.

Yeah, well, now I'm calling you on it.

For what?

for being out of line just as much as she was.

Bodie, she's right.

At 42 and on this mountain, Sharon is our division chief.

You're a probie.

So whatever family baggage you got, check that.

It's kind of hard when 42 feels like it's my living room.

Ever think it might not be the station we idolize as kids?

I got heat.

Somebody's out here.

Lead the way.

Excuse me.

I'm trying to get this to my dad.

Walter and Leonie just needed more of his stuff.

Sure. Let me grab a tag for it. I can just leave it here.

I can get your dad for you.

Let you make that special delivery yourself.

I bet he'd appreciate that personal touch.

I bet you don't know my dad.

Oh, that's a bet you'd lose today. I've been working with Mr. Walter the last

couple of weeks.

It's my favorite guy around here.

Just can't tell the others.

You telling me my dad made a friend?

Oh, sure did. My name's Noah. Let me grab him for you. I'll bring him to you.

He's right down the hall. Well, uh... No.

Maybe next time, okay?

And if there's not a next time?

Too bleak. Too bleak.

What about a quick high?

How's his mood today?

Ah, there we go.

This is Cal Fire.

Can you hear us?

Cal, over here.

Please, please. Hey, hold on to Cal Fire. We're coming to you.

Cal, over here.

Hey.

Hi. Hi.

I'm Captain Crawford. Can you tell me your name?

It's Blair.

My leg. It hurt.

Right, like a possible broken chamber?

Yeah, yeah. There could be one or two of them bleeding, but...

We don't want her to know.

All right, Blair.

How about we get you out of this chair and end the triage? Wait, no.

What about my dad?

Your dad was out here with you?

Shasta IC, engine 1568.

I need a rescue sled with a splint on the eastern ridge.

Copy. Bodie, give me a blanket.

Audrey, Salsa.

Look, we're going to get you out of here, okay? Just hang in there. You're

great.

Go.

Blair, was this your dad's jacket?

Yeah, he took it off when he woke up. I asked him to stay. I asked him not to. I

don't... He just walked off.

I don't know why. He seemed confused.

Same as Danny.

Hey, first we rescue you, next your dad.

Hey, Walter.

Look who it is.

It's good to see you, son.

So good to see you. Yeah.

Yeah, you too.

Here, sit down.

Told you he'd be happy to see you.

I was just thinking about you. I'm so sorry I haven't come by.

Oh, don't worry, but I'm just happy you're back.

So come on, what's the good news?

Did you find yourself a nice Japanese wife over there, Luke?

Um... Dad, I'm Vince.

The other one.

Come on, stop messing around.

Did you get married?

Luke's in Japan, Dad.

I'm Vince.

What do you want?

Everything good over here? No, it's not good. Yeah.

No, who is this?

We're good.

I gotta go.

Who is that?

1568, send a patient down with Ski Pro.

All right, if Danny wasn't making sense after losing consciousness, we could be

looking at a concussion, which means we have to find him, and he could be

anywhere. Those have to be Danny's tracks right there.

Is that blood?

Pick up the pace, probies.

Danny, this is Cal Fire. Can you hear us?

Hey.

Thank you for meeting with me.

How can I help?

I'm not going to break my NDA.

Looks like Oaxaca's holding up their end of the bargain, so I think I'm going to

do the same.

Okay.

Okay. What, you're not even going to try to hard sell him?

You took a sizable payout on a deal that your friend brokered.

So I'm not going to waste my time trying to talk you out of it.

Well, good then.

I'm good. I'm not sure about you.

I'm great.

I got my freedom.

And my daughter.

Hell. I even survived being bug -sprayed to almost death by Exalta.

And yet you wanted to meet with me.

When a simple no via text would have done the job.

You could have even ghosted me.

Maybe it was just an excuse to see you again.

Now, as much as I'd like to believe that the Pilates and skin care routine are

working, that ain't it.

You want to enlighten me?

You're a firefighter. A hero.

That's where you're comfortable.

Taking a payout from a soulless corporation in exchange for your

After they targeted inmates and killed your buddy? That's not too comfy.

But you made a decision and you're going to stick with it.

Until I came along with a choice.

How's that?

You enlightened?

I thought you didn't harbor illusions about flipping NDAs.

And I thought you were turning me down.

Danny?

Danny! Danny!

Danny! Hey!

Can you hear me?

Check his vitals. Why do you take his clothes off?

Paradoxical undressing.

Symptom of hypothermia. His body's temperature regulation is shot.

His head injury might have escalated the symptoms.

So the cold registers his heat, and then the patient just starts shedding

layers? Yeah.

All right.

Can't get a radio pulse.

There's no corona there. All right, B, start CPR.

Shafta, I see.

Into 1568.

Patient with hypothermia -induced cardiac arrest.

We need backup fast.

Copy. 1568.

Thank you.

Left that behind, brother.

Thank you. Of course.

You know, they forget, but we never do.

What happened with you and your dad in there?

I've seen that play out a time or two.

No pressure, but I'm on lunch if you want to talk about it.

Just say yes, man. It's freezing out here. Yeah.

Come on in.

Still no pulse.

We'll get one.

But how are we going to get him off the mountain?

We're a long way from the bottom.

Come on.

Just hang in there.

We got you.

That's how.

He was in cardiac arrest when we arrived.

Attended CPR for ten minutes.

Unknown how long he was down before.

Hey, Bodhi, switch out.

Switching.

Body temp was 86 degrees.

Bodhi, get in my bag.

We need heated saline to warm his inside.

Saline bag's already cooling off.

Dumb pitch.

What about the snowmobile?

We could use the engine to warm the saline.

Not a dumb pitch. Do it. Now. Quick.

His body temperature's too low. His veins are constricted. We need to

Hey, Bax.

Still no pulse?

Come on, Danny. Your daughter's waiting for you.

I got a pulse.

That was the warmest greeting I ever got from my dad.

Because he thought I was my brother.

I did not want to come here today.

Because I thought he was going to pick a fight, but this is worse.

I get it. I really do. I lost my own mother to dementia.

Sorry.

I'm still ashamed to admit it, but I was kind of grateful she forgot who I was.

The last time I got to see my mama was from behind prison glass.

When she didn't recognize me, I figured at least she didn't have to deal with

the heartbreak of seeing her boy locked up.

But I made a vow right then I was going to be that good boy that she raised and

remembered.

Well, we've got something else in common.

I know that view.

Through prison glass.

Really? You did some time?

Not me, my son.

He's out now. He's making a positive impact on people just like you.

Actually, I think we got a third thing in common.

Fresh ingredients, baby. I love a fine grated parmesan.

See, you get it. You get it. I tried to tell my dad that. He does not care.

No kidding?

He was just talking last week about your family's famous sundae sauce.

He won't stop complaining.

He's been itching for a home -cooked meal.

My family's famous sundae sauce.

That's funny.

That was my mom's recipe. It's now mine. My dad never lifted a spoon in the

kitchen.

Hey, come on.

A nostalgic activity with his son?

Great for memory stimulation.

One thing I've learned in here is that memories are complicated.

But your boy and I got a second chance. Why not your dad?

New patients over here underneath the space heaters, and we need more

Hey, Sharon. Hey, photographer.

There's fire, I think.

What? I was shooting the mountain, and I saw smoke. Look.

Jake, we're seeing smoke at the top of the ridge. Can you confirm?

Confirmed. Smoke on mountain's northeast side.

Get out of there. I will call Greencrest and get a water drop.

Chief, there's no time for that. There's fire and ice up here. If the snow

melts, it could cause an avalanche that takes anyone still on the mountain.

This place must have snow cannons.

We could use them to spray the fire.

I'm not looking for opinions.

Chief, that's the right plan.

No, the right plan was given to you by your DC. Follow my orders. Discussion

over.

Gav, prep for solo evac.

We're going with Bodie's plan up here.

Chief was pretty clear.

Hey, Jake, don't do this for me.

No, I'm not.

I'm trying to avoid an avalanche that could cause more destruction.

Chief didn't ask for opinions, so we're not going to ask for permission.

Let's move.

Gab, get him out of here.

These companies only think in terms of dollars.

That's so option one.

They could do everything up to code and dispose of their waste properly, except

it costs a pretty penny.

Okay. That's option two.

Risk dumping it in some river and hope for the best.

If someone gets sick, just pay them off and shut them up.

It's cheaper.

It's just a math equation, too, then. Where profit wins over morals every

And now that they've been caught...

They have to dispose of the rest of the poison.

And more people will get sick.

What I do know is they won't stop.

I've tracked them across three states.

And you think you can put edgewater in the spotlight?

Do you remember the Gulf Trench oil spill?

Or the garnet voter fraud?

Of course I do. Those were massive cases. Yeah, massive, because of the

publicized lawsuits.

I mean, that amount of settlement money, that's an admission of guilt.

And I made them happen.

I've got that patient with hypothermia which caused cardiac arrest. He's

currently stable.

Excellent. Park him over here. We're going to get him on the next rig to

Edgewater Memorial.

Great work, Fred.

Where the hell is the rest of your crew?

When the cable snapped, the pulley must have yanked it like a whip.

Thor opened the backup generator and ignited the fuel.

There. No cannons.

Good. Aim the cannons at the base of the fire. Yep.

Yeah.

No water.

Game? Foul.

It's frozen over.

Move back, Joe.

What's the matter, children? Is it frozen for you too?

It's a mold budge.

Here.

More leverage.

Let there be water.

Nice one, Cap.

All right, James.

Take the lift.

Bodie, you work that cannon. I got the one on the other side.

You

got

this, brother.

What do you want?

I heard you got some gripes with the menu here.

Grubbing this joint stinks. Too bland.

Not enough salt.

I came to fix that.

What do you got there?

Oh.

You got the Macon's for a sundae sauce.

Well, maybe we can make it together.

There's no good.

It's a sweet sausage. You need spicy sausage.

It's all right. We can salvage it.

Come on.

You know, my wife made the best Sunday sauce in the world.

How many times will I keep getting cut wide open?

Say that you love me tonight even if you don't.

How many times will I keep getting told I'm hopeless?

Let me believe that you will even if you won't.

I know how to cry.

And I know how to lie.

And I know how to hurt.

Been doing it all my life.

Please don't bring me down.

Cause I just wanna fly.

Where dreams don't die.

How many dreams have I seen burn up like ashes?

Smoke from a million memories in my eyes.

Singing a song of a love that never lasted.

One look at you and I remember why.

This brings back memories.

Sunday dinners at the house.

Yeah. The way she wore her hair up in a bun so it wouldn't dangle in the sauce.

Yeah. We'd all be standing around trying to help, but she'd say, You want to

help staying out of my way, yeah.

But she didn't say that to you.

Not you, not her, Vinnie boy.

Not you.

She loved you.

She'd be proud of you, son.

With me, now.

Sharon, you couldn't see it, but we were boots on the ground.

I gave an order.

Period.

You disobeyed. Period.

The fire's out because the boat is black.

It was a guess.

And it was a guess that could have cost life.

But it didn't. I'm aware.

I'm also aware now that I have coddled you to the point where you believe that

boundary is a suggestion, and I apologize for that.

I offer you this lesson for it.

For breaking protocol and dragging two probes with you, you are suspended for

one week, effective immediately.

About Bodie's plan.

Watch yourself, Crawford.

Did you say no because it was a bad plan or because Bodie suggested it?

Not every day you get to stop an avalanche with a snow cannon.

You know, hopefully Finn got a good pick.

Listen, about what I said this morning, I shouldn't have.

I was frustrated.

But I don't want to be the kind of leader who throws cold water on his

dreams.

Cap, you took me up a mountain to rescue a guy and to stop an avalanche.

My dreams are nice and warm.

I've got to take this.

All right.

Luke, hey, thanks for calling me back.

Yeah, I need some advice.

Hey,

when did you know it was time to leave 42?

Oh, wow.

These are incredible.

Yeah, just wait till you see the ones I shot on film.

These are great.

That one's not so bad either.

When are you going to finally kiss me?

I was thinking now.

So should we just skip straight to the wedding?

All right, now, don't keep a girl waiting.

How was it?

The kiss.

Oh, no.

With his sweet little eyes and his perfect little lips?

No, the kiss itself was great.

He...

Said this thing about when's the wedding.

And my stomach dropped.

Oh, no.

That's an ick. That's a real big ick. Yeah, and I meant it when I said that I

wanted something casual.

And he's not on the same page.

Yeah, maybe he asked you to dinner first before asking for your hand in

marriage. Oh, this is such a bummer. The kiss was so good.

Can we get two more shots, please?

Thank you.

Oh, wow.

Finn just texted me five times.

Oh, six now. And seven.

Maybe your gut was telling you that Finn was keeping a tight lid on his

obsessives.

But here it is.

Eight. Wow.

So you got your photos, now you're done with me? My time's valuable. Thanks for

wasting it.

How? He's got a healthy ego about his artistry. So what? Does he think that I

used him?

For free photos?

That's not... Finn has revealed himself as a guy who can't handle not getting

what he wants.

Clearly what he wants is you.

My advice?

Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Thank you.

You're gonna need that.

She's not going to have blown up at you like that at work.

It's fine.

It is not fine.

There is no place for family business at the station.

I mean, I understand why you want a bigger victory with Exalta.

And I understand why you did what you did.

You do?

You're cut from the same cloth, Mom.

You did what you thought was right.

Even though you knew other people would disagree.

So you forget about Renee.

Really?

Gotta get this rig spotless.

Probe duties.

Buddy, you're going against your commanding officer and your mom.

I'm banking on forgiveness, not permission.

Morning. Hey.

Still no Sharon?

Couldn't change my mom's mind.

But you got me, you got Manny.

We're the keys to Three Rock.

Yeah, we can talk to the guys, we can get them to talk to you.

Get them to flip.

Well, let's get to work then.

But before we do, I've got to warn you both.

Shutting down Exalta, it's not going to be easy.

I mean, they're a publicly traded company, but when they feel backed into

corner, they start acting like a mob family.

So nothing is off limits.

Intimidation. Coercion. We keep a tight circle.

And what we're doing, fighting Exalta, stays inside that circle.

It's our secret.

Okay.
