Previously on Fire Country. What the hell is this?

We're closer than ever to getting shut down.

We're in a bad shot, but it seems like your dad's gonna make a full recovery.

How long has it been like that?

Not one word.

You got the results.

She's not mine.

Whether or not you're right for the job, I have the job.

She doesn't know you. Your mom didn't abandon us.

You made her out to be the bad guy, I just let you.

You should call her.

Hear her side of the story.

Station 42, stand by for the daily report.

Lazarus wildfire expanded to 25 ,000 acres overnight.

Zero percent containment.

Strike team's called up for a shafted pernil unit.

Be on alert.

Ringcast Station 42, we copy and we'll stand by.

Hey, Lazarus fire's at 25 ,000 acres, which means we could get called up any

minute.

Should we cancel?

No, Manny, don't even say that. The governor's coming. This is our last shot

keep Three Rock open. I'm just saying our shot's going to miss if the

here and we're out fighting this fire.

Don't jinx this.

25 ,000 acres.

One night.

That's all I'm saying. Three Rock is too crucial to the community.

To the state.

But there's still time for us to... There's still time for... What's the

Remedy.

I keep forgetting that.

Hey, you're going to be great.

Thanks.

Hey, thank you for letting Three Rock hijack the ball.

I don't want to take away from the firefighters' fun, but when you told me

the governor was coming... No, it's an absolutely brilliant idea. She's the

one that can reverse the decision to close Three Rock. We've got to seize the

opportunity. And we have 3 ,500 signatures already.

So when the governor sees the petition...

meets the inmates and sees the impact of the program.

I mean, how could she say no? Yeah. Also, it doesn't hurt that we are

her out in front of some of her richest constituents.

Stop ignoring me, Vince.

All right.

At 7 o 'clock, we're going to open the doors and get this party started.

Make sure you're on time.

All right. Should we get fabulous?

I'm saying, bro, it's hard enough to get my family up here. If I get shipped out

to San Diego or someplace, I'll never see them. That's why it's not matters.

We got to keep Three Rock open.

Come on, bro.

We're supposed to be putting out fires. We are putting out fires tonight.

You're repping Three Rock in front of the only person that's got the juice to

keep us open.

So we are props then?

No.

We're firefighters.

Yeah, and the more people see that, the more signatures we get on the petition.

But anyways...

Dishes over here to the right. And then help with the hot plates over here.

What?

I need more information than fine.

Have you had any other symptoms besides tremors?

No. I got... Every test they had at the hospital, and they released me.

So I don't need you to be my Fitbit, okay?

That's the price of secrecy. You have to tell me everything.

Perez, the tremor's probably just a temporary side effect from getting

electrified, and it's probably psychosomatic.

Okay, WebMD.

Or it's nerve damage.

Is my person there?

I'm fine.

I will see you there, okay?

Vince? Vince?

Vince?

You're not ready?

Yeah, I can't find my other cuff link. You seen it?

You have been dragging your feet all day about the gala.

Yeah, well, it's no secret. I don't love playing dress -up. And now you're going

to ask if you even have to go?

Yeah. Do I? This is for three rock.

I know.

You have now seen firsthand what happens to Bodie when he gets sent away from

all the people who remind him who he is. You and Luke have to schmooze this

governor. Don't leave this all on me.

You're right. So you should go ahead, and I will be right behind you.

I'll be there in time for Eve's speech and photo op and the big push, whatever.

I promise.

You better.

Ready?

Check, turn around.

Wow. Oh, I have to have a photo.

Perfect.

You look so cool. No, you look like a movie star.

Big night, fellas.

You look like gentlemen.

You clean up nice.

Yeah, well, I'm way more comfortable in an STBA, I'll tell you that much. Oh,

look, there's my son.

There he is. Have fun tonight. Thank you.

Hey, don't forget the blink, man.

Shut up.

No, I get it. It might be the last time that you can tell her how you feel

before she gets married. Stop.

It doesn't matter how I feel.

She's happy.

That door's closed.

Tonight's about to re -rock.

Keep telling yourself that.

Hi. Hi.

Do you love... Tommy?

Yeah. I was going to say, where are you? No, no. That's my game thing.

Eve is going to do it, and the governor is going to come too.

Look who's coming. Hi. Hi, beautiful.

Good to see you.

Hey, thanks for coming.

We got you, man.

Three rocks isn't going anywhere.

Right.

Everyone looks so nice.

Threatening in the top of the second.

Swung on, hit in the air, right side. That's going to be down for a base hit.

Come on, get this guy off the mound.

Yeah. Did you invite Roberta?

Who's Roberta?

Mom! Oh.

Oh. Look at you, pretty.

Manny? Hi, not too shabby yourself.

Diego, thank you so much for calling.

I totally see why my daughter would lose her head and get engaged after knowing

you for less than a minute.

Not that it's all about looks. Looks fade, I hear.

We know Roberta Latin is fat.

Exactly. But, hey, this is not about me. Actually, it is about me. It's about me

spending time with my stunning daughter before her wedding day.

Surprise.

Surprise.

So Gabby was 10 when Manny went into prison, and it was just her and me for a

couple of years. Then Manny got out, and then him and I split.

I'm sorry.

You're funny.

I wanted to surprise my baby girl.

And you, huh?

Can you get me a drink? You know my order.

So then I went and got my degree and then Gabby pursued her Olympic dream.

Right, baby girl?

I literally can't believe you're here.

I know.

And you invited her.

Hey, you love this song.

We'll be right back. We gotta dance, okay? We love Gabrielle. Oh, Manny,

become like family to us. Really?

Tell me everything.

Okay.

That's Gab's mom.

And you had no idea she was coming? Nope.

You okay?

Nope. Oh, well, all right.

You don't have a history of addiction, do you? Mm -hmm.

Yeah, what about that?

She's got me ordering her drinks.

I gotta stay on the wagon tonight. But right now, I feel like I'm driving on

Vegas Strip with a big -ass bottle of Jack Daniels.

Those are the guys from Station 96, right? Did they just get caught?

Yeah, after that Lazarus fire.

It's just a matter of time before they call us up, too.

No. No, that can't happen. Not tonight.

Gabby, I asked her. She said she would think about it, and then I never heard

back. But why?

Why would you invite her?

Because you seemed so nervous about her coming to the wedding. I thought maybe

if you saw her before, then you would take the edge off. The wedding gave me

time.

Time to think about what I wanted to say to her.

What not to say.

Right now, I just feel like if I open my mouth, I'm going to yell at her about

how angry I am.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

Hi.

Can I cut in?

Is that a thing, Jill?

Hi, Mom.

You want to show me around your work?

I want to see what you gave up diving for.

We're called a hand crew, but we do all kinds of support.

We even serve food to firefighters on long campaign fires like this.

You guys saved my kid's diving class from a fire last year.

Keep it up. Sign our petition and we'll get to you.

Hey, Bodhi.

Look at you. You look nice.

Um, it's true they might send you guys away?

We're trying to do everything we can to stop it.

But we'll always know where you are.

We'll always be in touch.

Thanks.

Listen, V, I'm sorry, man. I had no idea that you'd be here.

You're all I belong.

Bodie. She seemed pretty happy to see you.

Jake told me to focus on myself.

Three of us, the one thing I've left, so that's what I'm focusing on.

What is three about doing here?

Okay, well, hello.

Um... I got a work detail for the inmates.

And then my last push.

Eve, Eve.

Governors do not like unplanned events, especially with convicted felons. This

is an ambush. It's going to blow up in our face. They need to go now.

Sure. If you want to cause a scene and have the donors get their own food, we

can send them back to camp.

You P. Leone? Yes.

Sorry. Old habit.

Jonathan Chen, Governor Kelly's aide.

Are you Battalion Chief Leone?

The governor wants to take photos with all the battalion chiefs. I'll need you

at the front of the receiving. I think you're confusing me with my husband,

Vince Leone. He'll be here shortly.

Oh, well, send him to me when he gets here, please.

So this is the office, kind of like a command center.

So Diego tells me you're a paramedic now.

I always knew you would go into health care.

What, hon?

It's just weird when you say things like that.

Like what?

Like you know anything about me.

Well, Gavin... Station 42 Perez?

Hey, it's Pete Terry at Station 96.

Vince around?

Uh, he's not.

What's up, Pete?

I know you got your party over there, but 96 was designated a supply drop

for Lazarus, and now they're rolling us out. Can you cover... Copy that. Re

-route it all to us. We'll receive supplies.

Okay, good luck.

Exciting.

Gaps, the truth is I thought if I asked if I could come tonight, you might say

no.

Mom, I have to deal with this.

Can you get Dad?

Sure.

You can also bid on the personal home fireproofing consult given by one of

very own firefighters.

Dinner for two at Smokey's.

Romantic. Each bid gets you a ticket for the raffle.

Thank you.

Thanks. You know, thank God you're here.

Why are we so weird with Bodie?

I thought you two were, like, best friends.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing's wrong, Jen.

Don't worry.

What are we bidding on?

Uh, Genevieve. Jake.

This is Roberta. This is Gabriella's mom.

Hi. Wow.

Nice to actually meet you. Jake?

Like, the ex?

Yeah. Oh, honey, we have to talk.

Oh, yeah.

No, I'm sorry, I can't. I would love to, but I have to man the auction table.

Manny, can you watch the auction? Jake and I are going to get a drink.

Oh. Wow.

Yep.

She's like that.

It's infuriating.

Okay, put the pallets here and then separate them by station number. And

the crew can swing through on their way to the Lazarus fire and pick them up.

Don't even look. I'm not canceling. No, the Lazarus fire is canceling it for

you. It's at 30 ,000 acres.

And where's Vince? He's not answering my calls. I told you, he's on his way.

Vincent Leone, where are you?

Pick up this phone.

He's not answering for you either?

No. I'm going to have to run home and drag him by his hair. No, I'll go.

You need to stay here and make sure the Roxy's open.

That's probably a good idea. I might kill him. Thank you.

Chief, are you in there?

Chief!

Answer my call Chief

I'm

coming in Chief Chief, where are you?

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

Get out of here. I'm trying to watch the game.

No. You are not.

And check your heart.

Heart palpitations.

How long?

Three innings.

But it's gotten a little dizzy.

You're having a regular heart rate.

Okay. I'm going to hook you up to the monitor.

Ray, I need you to sit up.

Careful.

How mad is Sharon at me?

Almost as mad as me.

Okay.

I think you're in a fib.

The electricity in your heart's misfiring. I'm going to call an

No. You are not.

You call this in, my career's over.

I don't, and your life may be over, so... All right, let's talk about this.

Who else wants some tenderloin?

Yeah, please.

All right, there you go. And once you've eaten, don't forget to go sign our

petition. Yeah, right behind you.

You see?

Natural.

You're natural.

Gavs and I just weren't meant to be.

What happened?

She fell in love with another guy. Of course, Diego.

He seems lovely, though, and he loves her.

No, no, no, I'm sorry.

Gab, she didn't break up with me for Diego. She broke up with me for Bodie.

Who's Bodie?

Um... Ah, that's Bodie.

Blonde, behind the table.

Oh. In orange.

Like mother, like daughter.

Ridiculous. Where's Vince?

He's been summoned.

Madam Governor, welcome.

Luke, good to see you. You too, ma 'am.

Sharon Leone, so glad to have you here.

Thank you. Yeah, thank you so much for being here. It's so important to the

people in the community. Happy to support.

Thank you.

You look good.

Thank you.

Thank you for your support.

And you look... Yes, I'm fine. You look incredible.

But stop sticking your nose in other people's business. It's not cool.

I teach cultural anthropology.

Being nosy is a tax write -off. Yeah, but these are my friends.

Well, I came to get to know my daughter, so what do you mean by gantracks? I'm

going to talk to people who know her.

All right, fine.

We will find her together, okay?

Thank you.

Look, I don't think twice about going into a burning building, but the thought

about doing the speech is just really making me want to vomit.

This has got to work, dude.

Okay, so let me just run it one more time. Good evening, everyone.

You're good.

Yeah, you're right. Just talk to me while you're up there. Yeah.

Hey,

Lazarus fires up to 38 ,000 acres, only 2 % containment.

38 ,000? How?

Well, it's on an uphill run. It's being pushed by all the wrong winds.

We're coordinating with Shasta Trinity units right now.

Are they rolling us out? Most likely. I need your husband here now.

My husband is not answering his phone, and I have more experience coordinating

resources than both of you combined. So let's go. You got this. Jake is proud.

She's not in here either, so... She's actually hiding from me.

Yeah, well, do you blame her?

I mean, you kind of blindsided her.

She called me. She said, please come.

To the wedding.

I have dreamed about getting that call for years, Melanie. I know you don't

understand because you got to love her and you got to be there for her. No, no,

no, don't start rewriting history here, okay? Because you could have been there.

You could have been there if you wanted to. I wanted to be there. And I wanted

to come back.

But all I got was resentment.

Yeah, because you left us.

We had to learn how to survive without you.

But you know what? I guess I should thank you, right?

Because I was the one who went to prison.

I was the one who was supposed to be unreliable.

I was a wild card.

But I got to be the one who showed up every day.

I got her to school.

I got her all her dime meat.

I offered.

I offered to pay for her to go to a world championship.

And I sent you money for Tokyo. But you were too stubborn. Can you sit there

honestly and tell me that you think that she would care about who paid for it?

I'm the one who celebrated with her when she got home.

I'm the one who had to hold her when she cried about Tokyo. That was me. That's

what I did. That's what I gave Gabriela. But what did you give her? What did you

ever give her? Nothing but questions.

Why did she leave?

What would life have been like?

Why does she not love me?

Don't you dare say that! You think you can just show up here out of the blue

think everything's going to be just fine?

You can just start over from scratch?

Like you don't have to earn it? I don't know how!

Yeah, well, I didn't know how either!

Well, we're different money.

You and I.

I just... I just... I didn't think I was ready

to be a mother.

And somehow you stepped up.

But, Manny, we were so young.

And that's okay.

It's fine. I just... I miss her so much. Every day. Now that I saw her, I miss

her even more.

Good evening, everyone.

Thank you for joining us for this year's Firefighters Ball. I am Captain Eve

Edwards, and I have the honor of leading the inmate firefighter crew at Three

Rock Conservation Camp.

As you've learned tonight, state budget cuts threaten to shut down our camp.

That would be a mistake.

Three Rock is too crucial to our community, to the state.

Thank you. Yeah, give it up for them.

But luckily, there is still time to remedy this with your help, Governor

At last count, we have 3 ,500 signatures on our petition to make Three Rock a

permanent fixture of the Edgewater community.

And it's not only crucial.

to support the Cal Fire crews in the field, but also in the fire camp and in

station. I just want to thank you all for your support of the firefighters in

your community and Three Rock.

So I want you all to continue to enjoy the evening, continue to eat, drink.

I know that's all going towards the end. All right, thank you so much. Thank

you. It's over.

This is probably a one -time event.

You know, I've seen it before on the job.

It takes one shock to correct the arrhythmia.

Right? So let's do it.

Shock me, breath.

I can't.

Yes, you can. I'm giving you permission.

No, it's not you.

What do you mean it's not me? I'm your boss, aren't I?

It's Bodhi.

If I hurt you, I can't look at him in the eye again. I can't. I can't.

That's fair.

I guess.

Ben?

Ben?

I'm shocking you, but you better live.

One, two, three.

Come on, babe.

Come on. Come on.

We had a deal.

Oh, no. Hey, Sister Lee.

Come on.

Oh, you okay?

You okay?

Damn,

that hurt.

It's not funny.

But I think it worked.

I'm telling Sharon.

What? No, you don't. You've been like a second father to me, Chief.

If anything happens to you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

I can't keep this secret anymore.

Hey, all right.

You've been like a second daughter to me, too.

I understand.

But what you actually are right now is my healthcare provider.

And if you tell anybody about this, you could violate my right to privacy as a

patient.

And that'd be bad for both of us.

I gotta get to the station.

I think you should probably drive.

Hey.

You want to make the announcement that the auction's gonna end?

I feel like you're hiding things from me.

You were weird at home. You were weird with Bodhi.

Jen. I know what I'm being lied to.

Like grandparents did it for years.

I found this in my pocket.

And I miss your mom.

And I really wish she was here right now.

I didn't want to make you sad.

Is it weird it makes me feel good?

Because I miss her too.

Of course not.

And... Jen, I'm sorry.

You and Bodhi?

It's true you guys are fine?

Well, it's, um...

No, the truth, the truth is that we both were really excited about being your

dad.

All that means is that you are an amazing kid and everybody wants to be a

of your life.

Come here, Munchkin. I love you.

Make that announcement so we can get out of here.

Cody? Hi.

I'm Roberta. I'm Gabriela's mom.

I know. Nice to meet you.

So here's the deal.

I won the consult with a firefighter, and I chose you.

Oh, what?

I'm not sure that they're going to let me. Oh, my winning bid was $3 ,000.

They're going to let you.

Shall we go?

Yeah. Honestly, ma 'am, I feel like the person you should be talking to is

Gabriella. Oh, I totally agree.

But she has fled the scene.

So I want to talk to you. If that's okay.

I just want to understand.

What happened between you two?

I guarantee you won't like the answer.

Try me?

How dare you threaten me like that?

I'm sorry.

You didn't deserve that.

Here's the deal.

The boat is going to get out in a little more than a year.

I just want to fight fires with my son.

I know you know what it's like to... Wait for Bodhi.

I mean, you did at one time.

My pulse is normal, and the tremor's getting better, too.

Any more symptoms, I'll go straight to the ER.

Promise.

Just give me a little more time.

Okay?

For me and for Bodhi.

Gabrielle has been through so much disappointment.

I pulled away, and she felt abandoned, just like you made her feel.

I hurt her in a way that I didn't know I could and never wanted to.

But really, I was reopening a wound that you had already made.

And then surprising her like this, I can see that it upset her tonight.

Do you still love her?

All I want for Gabrielle is happiness.

Even if that means keeping my distance and my mouth shut.

Maybe you should consider doing the same.

I can see why she likes you so much.

Liked.

It's over.

You know, I thought Gabby and I were done, too. And one day, I received a

call.

So... Nothing's over till it's over.

Division Chief Leone.

How's the unit doing on resources?

Well, we're all right for now, ma 'am.

Our air tankers are doing water drops, and our last remaining dozer has been

sent out, but Lazarus IC is requesting more. No, you need to call Joe Blanchard

in Eureka. Is he in the mayor's office?

No, he owns a construction company, but he has four dozers. He'll be happy to

loan to Cal Fire. We saved his business in 2019.

Jonathan, get Mr. Blanchard. Sorry, on second thought, Governor, I think I

better call. He's a little wary of politicians.

I'm sorry, you are again?

Sharon's part of our 42 crew.

Her husband is battalion chief.

I know Joe Blanchard and everyone in NorCal because for 15 years, I had

job.

Impressive. Sorry.

Hey, everybody. Sorry. Sorry, I'm late. This is Battalion Chief Leone, finally.

Your husband.

Well, until she divorces me for being late.

Ma 'am, if I may, all the dozers in the world can't match teams.

We need con crews up there. They're a huge part of Cal Fire's operations, and

you want to put out that fire, say three rock.

Yes, he's right. That's what this night is about.

Yes, I see that.

I have to say, I'm surprised at the big push. Luke made a very strong case when

he recommended closing Three Rock.

Um... Um... Uh,

Bodhi, we're going to take off.

Would it be okay with you if we had our visit at Three Rock before it closes?

I would love that.

Cool.

Cool.

He's my cousin, huh? Oh, Bodie, I didn't.

No, that... That was Genevieve.

Make way, please.

I appreciate, as always, Cal Fire's responsiveness and quick thinking. Yeah,

course, Governor.

I'm very proud of you. I need you to call Dave. He lied, Eve. He lied to all

us. And he played you.

He had us jumping through hoops knowing that we don't have any hope. Ain't that

right, Luke?

Hey,

pal. I don't think this is really the time or the place. No, I think it's the

perfect time and place.

Look these men in the face.

And you tell your nephew that you're the reason.

You're the reason that Three Rock's getting shut down. Tell him!

And then you tell these men why you got their hopes up for nothing.

Governor, I apologize.

The motions are running high, as you can understand. Manny, you need to

understand something. What's that?

We closed Three Rock because it freed up the funds to keep the whole con camp

system open. I saved the entire program. Why us?

Why Three Rock? Because it's a mess, Manny. Because you wrecked it.

Take responsibility for your actions. We're crying out loud.

Hey!

How's that for responsibility?

Dad!

Watch it!

Come on! Stop it! Hey!

Stop it! Hey, no!

Watch out! Watch out!

You're good.

Stay back. You're right.

Okay. You're right.

You're right.

Nice to be photographed with genuine heroes.

Thank you.

Thanks. Wish you the best.

Nothing's over till it's over.

Governor, I'm not a hero.

I'm in orange for a reason.

Without Three Rock, I'd still just be drifting through life.

But with Three Rock, I've been given a chance to live it.

What was it? Oh, when I first got sent to Three Rock, it was the last place

I wanted to be.

And now I can't imagine being anywhere else.

Three Rock has given us a purpose. It's given us a chance to be a part of

something, to be firefighters.

We need Three Rock.

And you need us.

Buddy's right.

Stop order tonight.

We'll allow all these men to leave right now.

He's sending valuable resources.

Pretty strong call to make.

Get me corrections on the phone. Right now.

Yes, ma 'am.

I will get you to that fire.

Yeah.

Snake is the word. What is wrong with you?

Sharon, don't start with me, too.

Okay? Thanks.

The state's been forcing budget cuts down my throat. You know better than

that sometimes you gotta make a hard call.

Don't give me hard call.

I have had your job. Yeah, and if it was any other camp... Look, I will try

and smooth things over with the department about Manny.

I'll have to start.

Thank you.

Then don't move.

I'm sorry, all right?

I don't even know what happened.

Oh, I know.

He's passionate with no impulse control.

Far be it for me to stick my nose in.

And my right is here.

Nice seeing you.

Walk me out?

Oh, you found it.

Covering, yeah.

So... What happened?

You look a little like... Um... I...

I think I ate something bad.

Um, because I had to lay down for a little bit at home, and I almost fell

asleep. I'm really sorry.

Well, I only get dressed up once a year, and you kind of missed it.

Well, I think you look just as hot in your turnouts, but this is a very nice

look, too.

You know that we raised $35 ,000 for the firefighters fund and got another

hundred signatures on the petition.

Not bad for a night even without you.

I wish we had more time to talk.

Then you should have let me know you were coming.

I didn't want to show up to your big day a stranger.

But we are strangers.

And if we want that to change, then you have to change.

You're right to be angry.

You made a choice to leave, and you had to live with it, too. And sometimes I

wish I'd chosen differently. I do.

But, Gabby, your dad was just a better parent.

I was impatient.

I was immature.

I was critical.

I left because of my fault.

But if the message I gave you was that there's

something wrong with you,

I'm the problem. I'm still the problem.

You don't have to say... No, I... Wait, Gabby, I'm not even apologizing. No, I

know it's too late for that.

But I just want to tell you that the only thing that I would change is just

knowing you better.

But Bodhi, he knows you.

Did you talk to Bodhi?

I mean, I talk to everyone.

Mom, I... Gabby.

Bodhi was just doing what he thought was best for you.

And he didn't want to hurt you any more than I did.

Why? Why are you telling me this?

Because you're about to make a choice.

A choice you have to live with for a long time.

Truth.

Wisely.

Learn from my mistakes.

The eyes and ears, Sri Raka.
