Original subtitles

Previously on Fire Country.

Vince was like a father to me. He was my actual father. And now he's gone.

Because you locked me in a cage at that fire.

I'm not here to rebuild 42.

I'm here to keep you alive.

Because I don't trust you to do it.

Don't worry about me.

You're fighting with Jake. You're living at the station.

I know when something's up. Something you're not telling me. Vince left me his

guitar. Sharon said he put it in a wheel.

Just Karen Leone. Is she around?

No. I'm her son, Bodie.

Oh, uh, Rene.

He's to date my dad.

We've got an active flame on that grill. Probably natural gas.

I'll find the shutoff.

It's like a shoddy DIY situation.

Take Leone.

We're looking for the gas line feeding that tire. I don't think I have to

you everything to test with that guy.

Yep. I ran into a buddy from 58 last week. He said Richard's been asking

if evenly stations are low on bodies.

He's trying to figure out where to send us if he just bans 42.

And I heard he gives the station two weeks to sink or swim. That's it.

Last week?

He's just now saying something.

Hey, it's not like you've been looking for conversation with me these days.

There's the source.

Locked?

I got it.

Gas clear, Chief.

Copy. Fire's already died.

Look at my dad's axe.

Yeah.

Yeah, he left it to me.

Hell, he did.

Look, I don't know what to tell you. Your mom put it in my hands.

Been in my family for generations.

I can't speak for your dad.

No, no, you for sure can't.

He made his will right after Riley died. You weren't a firefighter. I was.

Right.

I was an addict and then a criminal.

That's what you want to say? Go ahead and say it. Hey, look, you don't want to

run your mouth in front of Richards.

You don't want to give me orders unless it has to do with a fire. Okay, I have

been killing myself trying to prove to Richards we are a solid house.

Pushing everyone to study and work hard. You don't feel like getting along with

me? Feelings mutual.

But Bodhi, if you do nothing else today, fake it.

Sure. Sure.

I'll pretend that if my dad had gotten out of that fire alive, he wouldn't have

ended your career right then and there for holding me back from helping.

I didn't realize you were back to being the Bodhi who didn't give a damn about

anything but himself.

And if your dad had gotten out alive...

He would have kicked your ass out.

Again.

So what's your read on Bodhi these days?

You had eyes on him when I couldn't, when I was gone.

You know, Bodhi is carrying the whole world on his shoulders. It's kind of his

thing.

He's just grieving.

What about you? You're fresh eyes.

What's your read?

Are you worried?

Trying not to be.

But he's just so bottled up.

You don't think he's using again, do you? No, no.

I don't think so.

Somebody gave him some pills.

What?

And he told me that he flushed him.

Now I'm telling you.

Well, as you know, addicts lie for breakfast.

I'm not saying he's lying.

Not yet.

So let me ask you this.

If someone had forced you to talk back then when you were using...

Would it have worked?

No. See, the truth is, the boat is on one of two roads.

The one we hope for, or the one which lands in a rock bottom.

But whichever road he's on, he's going to show us soon.

All right, so you're saying I shouldn't try to force him to talk?

No. I'm saying that the worst thing you could do is

isolate him.

Almost there. Come on, keep going. You got this.

Done.

Seven off, 74 seconds. Not too shabby.

42, still got it.

Should be able to do it in under a minute.

You're up, Leone.

Everyone else push -ups until he gets it.

Let me know when you're ready.

Go ahead.

Go.

Done. Stop.

68 seconds.

Try again.

And go.

Trending in the wrong direction.

72 seconds.

Stop! Get up! Go! Get out of here!

I don't care how you tie knots

on your best day.

Until you perform on your worst, you're going to need to work on that.

Keep or donate?

I don't know.

We could take a break.

No, no, no, no. The donations for the fire victims have dropped off, and I

so much.

You know, the things that he put in his will, they're so easy to give away

because that's what he wanted, right? But the rest of it, it's like I just

to go back in time and harangue him into just writing every single thing down

because it's too hard.

Let's change the topic today.

It's a special day.

You want to do something for it?

Enter at your own risk.

Wow.

You starting your own thrift shop in here?

Sorry.

I haven't slept very much.

You should try what I do. Just go to bed senior early.

Bad adult life. You're single. You got to put yourself out there, dude.

Do whatever straight people do to find each other. Oh, you know what? What

the councilwoman? Okay. She likes you a lot. You said you had something for me?

I do.

Oh.

Vince is challenge going.

Yeah. He said he wanted you to have it.

I'm honored.

Are you sure you want to do this today?

Yeah, I already brought that up. Edgewater needs stuff, and we have

I kind of thought that Vince would like it if we did that today.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

Thank you.

Okay. I'll see you later.

Thanks for helping me with Sharon's donation.

Oh, you know, it's easier to haul Vince's things around than to go through

with Sharon, especially on your day off.

Yeah, I'll be honest. It hasn't been easy, especially, you know, today.

It's his birthday.

You forgot.

Yeah, damn.

That explains Bodie's reaction to seeing me with Vince's act.

I didn't handle it well.

How are we supposed to handle any of this, man?

Like, Vincent's whole life is reduced to stuff.

Stuff to donate, stuff we fight over, stuff to wonder who we give it to when

we're gone.

You know, it's very early for you to be so morbid. No, I'm serious, dude.

Like, Vincent's like a parent to us.

When the parent generation goes, the next generation levels up.

Remember when we were younger? We used to dream about what being an adult would

be like. Yeah.

No school, ice cream for breakfast, married to Jessica Alba. Right. And I

feel any closer to grown -up Eve.

I just feel like the same me.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I never thought that as grown -up Jake,

I'd be getting into it with Bodie over stuff or old beef.

Can I be honest?

I think Richard is pushing you, Bodie, all of us.

It's kind of like a stress test, and we're cracking.

So, give yourself a break.

That's very grown -up of you to say.

I kind of felt that too, huh?

You make the Leone mud?

How'd I do?

Still have to eat it with a fork.

It's perfect.

All right, look, I know what you said.

I'm just not ready to talk.

I get it.

Sorry. Shouldn't have pushed.

You know, my, um... My dad left Jake his axe.

And that's bad, because you didn't want one of the axe?

No.

But...

My mom was like, she's doling out all of my dad's stuff.

And it's just... It's a reminder he's gone?

Yeah.

I'm pretty sure that there's no way he left anything in there for me.

But now that my dad's gone, I just don't want me and him to end that way.

Want some?

No.

I just want to hang your hands free.

Call

came

in as a fall from heights.

Up there.

What did he fall from, an airplane?

Well, if he fell any further, this would be a recovery, not a rescue.

Help!

I'm stuck, and my friend Dex, he fell down there.

Well,

it looks like we got one of each.

Yep, a rescue and a recovery.

dispel a rumor going around about me. Yes, I have been known to disband a

station when it is dead.

But as far as I can tell, 42 is still breathing. Don't want to call time of

death? Show me I don't need to.

Perez, James, you're on our fall patient.

Crawford, take Leone up on the line. Let's go.

Hey, uh, Bodie, about the act.

Be easier to fake it if we didn't talk.

This overgrowth is out of control.

This place is chock full of tinder without three rock around.

There. Hey, Dex.

Dex, can you hear me?

Looks like he's breathing, but he's not responsive.

Oh, hell.

Oh, man.

That's a textbook compound fracture.

Keep assessing him.

Got a pulse.

Respiration steady.

With that chest wound, we've got to get a dressing on it.

Pupils are good.

Richard's just calling in the ambo.

But we can't move them yet.

We have no idea how close this broken bone is to the femoral artery.

And one millimeter in the wrong direction.

Take the bleed out.

All right, stay with us, Dex.

Hey there.

I'm Jake.

This is Bodie.

What's your name?

Name's Gage. I just got snagged on my way from there to there where I was

to sit up.

My friend Dex tried to help when I got stuck, but he slipped off his line like

noob. Is he okay?

Our crew is taking care of him.

Okay. Yeah, just sit tight. We'll get you down.

Come in, Eve.

I'm sorry.

I texted, but when my dad died, the ladies from the church brought over

casseroles and kind words from my mom, and then three months in, people went

back to their lives, and it stopped, and the words, she could have used the

words, and today is Vince's birthday, and ask me why I'm standing here saying

any of this instead of...

Hi. I don't even know if you want Vince's high school ex here in your

am sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's nice to see you, Renee.

Thank you.

Did you just see me smell his shirt through the window? You did, didn't you?

Laundry day. Yeah.

Oh, my dead husband's ex standing in our home offering me a shred of dignity

after seeing me stick my face in his dirty laundry.

I'm so sorry. I'm going to go. No, no, no. It's a kindness. It's just so

surreal, right? I mean, you here in that spot where I have laughed with him and

argued with him and smelled the food he was making for me to welcome me home.

I'm sorry.

I just really wanted to say that he was a really good guy.

Well, also always being such a lovable ass.

Who kind of smelled like pine trees and dial soap and the occasional

joint that he didn't think I knew about.

He was still doing that? Oh, yes.

So do you think you could help me sort through this to see what...

Doesn't smell like him, so I could clothe Edgewater with it.

In the name of Vince, yes, I can.

What's the plan?

Figuring out if we can get out there to him.

Not a question of if we can, it's how.

Find a way, Captain.

I just did.

We'll flip this pulley upside down.

Jerry, rig it into a trolley.

Lingoni, harness up.

You'll trolley out to Gage, clear the snag. I'll pull you both in with the

tether.

Solid rope work.

Yes, you do it.

You need to go out on the line?

Yeah, I'm good.

Wow.

A probie has to approve my orders now. He's probably just worried that you

drop me.

Don't tell me.

And then he fell from the tree.

After all of these big proclamations about being the last protester on site,

he is then the first one carted away in an ambulance naked.

Too far?

Was it naked?

I think I found the line. No, no, I'm so happy to hear new Vince stories I

didn't think I was going to get anymore. I want to hear all of them, but have

you seen a brown leather jacket, like really well worn?

I don't think so.

It's his favorite jacket, and it was in this pile, and now I don't know where it

is. Well, it's got to be here somewhere.

No, it doesn't have to be, because Jake and Eve, they took a load to donate

already. And what if it got mixed up in that load?

Well, then we go find it.

I'll drive.

Come on.

Okay, hey, Gage.

Bodie's going to come out and get you.

All right.

All right, hey, look, before you go out there, I just wanted to say I didn't

realize it was your dad's birthday today.

Don't need to.

Not your dad.

All right, buddy, almost there.

Where are the people who work here?

That would be me.

Uh, I... Got mad ziplining skills, just that this is not how this is supposed to

go. My girlfriend Naomi thinks we're just going ziplining, but when we got

there, I was going to ask her to marry me.

Romantic. Yeah. I just had to get over there to set up some things first, but

when I zipped out, this got stuck.

What is that? A blanket? Yeah, for the picnic.

Naomi loves the girly stuff, but it flew up and got completely stuck in the

wheels. I tried to pull it out, but... You didn't want to risk yanking the

pulley off the wire, end up like your buddy there on the ground.

Exactly. You just got to get me down before Naomi shows up here and sees me

dangling like an idiot.

All right, I'm going to cut a free.

Dude, it's... Yeah, don't move.

If I get too close to the line, we're both on the ground.

You weren't on our last real date to the drive -in theater, but Jackie probably

smells more like popcorn than pine trees now.

What movie did you see?

Oh. We were trying to pretend we were young again, so.

So you didn't watch them again.

No, we didn't.

Oh, the popularity of this abomination and the ones like it around here is why

left Edgewater. No offense.

None taken.

You were meant for bigger ponds.

Sharon, you inspired me to donate some of my own clothes.

Oh, you too.

You're hanging out, or?

looking for Vince's jacket, the dusty brown one. Oh, his main jacket. Yeah.

donated it? Didn't mean to, so we're digging.

Oh, okay. Again, sorry.

You two are... Yeah, we have a shared history.

A man. You chaired a man.

He was more like a boy when I was with him, but the nicest kind.

What else, Renee? What other stories do you have?

Okay.

One time he left a chocolate bar in my locker and it melted all over my

homework. And I remember running after him the whole way and being so mad about

something.

I'm sorry. I just have all these memories and nowhere to take them now.

Here. You take them here.

It's okay if it feels weird to you. That's all right. It feels good to me.

This jacket is not here.

It has to have gone to another donation center already, so then it's just gone.

Is that good?

No. No, there's still movement.

His leg needs to be completely immobile to protect that artery, so grab some

more gauze.

Well, we're not out, are we?

Damn it, everyone's still bleeding.

Put some pressure on me.

Audrey, put pressure on me.

Are you okay?

I can't move.

All I see is sin.

Daddy, I'm sorry.

Audrey.

No. Hey, when you were down there, did you see my phone?

No. I accidentally dropped it when I called 911.

We're firefighters.

Not lost and found.

Careful.

Careful, dude.

Sweet. You got it.

You're good. You're free.

Okay.

Bringing you in.

Hey.

Roger, stay with me. I need you.

This man needs you, too.

It's done.

S -T -R -E -N -I -T -Y.

What?

Spelling.

It helps. Okay, well, keep doing it.

Fracture, F -R -A.

Fracture, F -R -A. That's good to know.

F -R -A -C -T -U -R -E.

Good, good, good.

Can you hear me?

Okay, one more.

Corporate reality.

C -O -R -P -O -R.

E -A -L -I -T -Y.

Nice.

Good.

I'm good. I'm good. Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay. This chest still needs pressure. Can you do it?

Yeah? Yeah. Great.

Keep it there. Okay.

I'm stopping.

Nice. Add some gas to it.

And when you're done there, get your ass back over here and help me finish up

this splinter, right?

Hey.

Good work.

Hey, guess if my phone dropped on something soft, it might still be good.

Can't believe I dropped it.

So dumb?

Well, you're making it really hard to disagree with you, Gage.

And just remember, no sudden movements, all right?

We have no idea how close those broken bones are to the femoral artery. So

going to go gentle. I'm talking moving a sleeping kid from a vehicle gentle. You

got it?

On James's count.

All right.

Three, two, one, now.

Three, two, one, down.

Nice and steady.

Clear a path back to the road for him.

Gotcha.

All right, now you get it.

Oh, I could make out with this platform.

Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, secure.

Oh, good here.

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh.

Come on. What is that?

You good?

Yeah. All right, let's move this butter.

What the hell?

What the hell is that?

It's the remote detonator for the proposal firework. Give me... Alright,

we gotta get down there now.

Alright. Oop!

Just a couple Roman candles.

Pinwheels. I always lose.

You know, they're only supposed to go off after Naomi said yes.

Fireworks.

In the dry season.

All right, Gage. Follow me.

Don't do anything stupid.

Yeah, I know.

Technically, I should have got a permit. But I totally spaced.

Chief, patient secure.

We're on our way down.

Hurry it up. I need a line on this five minutes to go.

Fred, James, are you good?

Good, Chief.

Yeah, we're good.

What happened?

Hey, Dex, hey.

We're Cal Fire. You fell and you broke your leg, okay?

Hey, buddy, we're going to need you to stay as still as you possibly can. I

it hurt.

All right?

All right, good.

Let's get you out of here. Ambulance is on its way.

Are you ready to move, Dex? We're going to move you now.

I'll make you a deal. If you take big, deep breaths, we're going to get you out

of here nice and smooth, all right? Deal?

All right, let's go.

Leone, Crawford, get on the hoses now.

Vince always kept a bottle of my favorite wine right behind the napkins

I think we need this today.

Well, if we didn't hit every donation center before they closed.

There's still that feed store on the skyline.

I'm going to survive.

It's just a jacket.

Okay.

Here's to your dead ex -boyfriend.

And to your dead husband.

Ah! And there it is.

Joel?

Hey.

Where'd you get that jacket?

Oh, you like it? I just scored it today.

donation place at the hardware store in Piedmont.

Yeah.

Gertie and me lost everything in that Zabel Ridge fire.

Didn't really want to take any help at first, but Gertie said, had the wind

blowing in a different direction.

Oh, you'd want to help too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Would you?

Can we hug?

Thanks again for saving me.

I'll never listen to that idiot again.

Take care.

Corporate reality?

Didn't expect that one.

Fourth grade spelling champ.

Wow. Well, color me impressed on all levels.

You good now?

Other than being embarrassed, sure.

Ain't nothing to be embarrassed about.

Your stuff come up and you worked yourself to it.

When I was in it, I sure wanted drugs more than spelling.

Would have been nice to drug myself into a happy place.

This is the kind of thing they used to send me off on a bender.

Yeah, but it didn't.

Not yet.

You know how I know you won't?

Because you dwell on optimism like a sparkly little butterfly?

Because you're talking drugs instead of taking them.

That's exactly the kind of day we prepare ourselves for.

If you prepare for him.

Hey, Chief.

Zach, she's in the hospital now.

Nice job, Cap.

I saw how you handled James.

Got her through it.

Nah.

Nah, she got herself through it.

And 42's getting through it, too.

I hope you see that.

Hey, Gage.

Your friend's going to be okay. He's on his way to the hospital now.

Yeah, we got to get you checked out.

Well, my gear's completely soaked. The fireworks were expensive.

Damn.

I thought this was going to be the coolest proposal ever.

You know what would have been cool?

Proposing at a damn restaurant.

Bodie.

Firefighters risk their lives every single day.

We know we could die on the job. We prepared for it. Okay, Bodie, not

okay? We write wills about it.

For going out over some of the matters.

Hey, Bodie, enough.

You could have lit up this whole town again. For what?

For what? A proposal with a bang?

Leone!

You will listen to your captain, or you will be suspended.

I'm going to go crash.

Hey, bud.

What's up?

Why are you manhandling me?

I need your help.

I made sundae sauce for Vince's birthday.

Oh, you know how to cook now?

Well, I ran by Pablo Leone, and I got Vince's mom's recipe, which is

and very old, and Vince didn't really follow it. Oh, no, that's because he

always measured by taste.

Right, that's what I'm trying to say. So it may not taste the same.

But still, can you just make sure that Sharon gets there?

I'm going to text Bodie, Manny, Renee.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up.

Renee? As in Vince's ex?

Thank you.

It's weird, right?

Yeah. Well, apparently she's in her circle now.

And look, I may not be ready for some adult things, but I am grown enough to

know that this is about what Sharon needs.

Look at us being grown -ups.

Yeah. It's mostly me, but yeah.

Hey, stranger.

Hey, Mom.

I heard you lost it on a patient today.

I tried to propose one to a forest fire.

I see you inherited your father's lack of patience for fire hazards.

How come you haven't come by the house to see what he left you?

I don't expect anything.

I know the place that he and I were in when he made those decisions.

Oh, that was in the place he was in when we lost him.

I think maybe officially on paper he didn't leave you anything, but we talked

about this all the time. We talked about you and the life that you've made for

yourself and how proud we both are of you and the man you are today.

He left you his wedding ring.

He wanted you to have it.

He loved you so much, right up until the day he died.

I'm sorry. I think I'm going to cry right along with you.

This is so hard.

I miss him so much, but I miss you too.

Are we okay now? Are you back with me?

Please don't worry about me.

I was like, you'll see, actually.

Oh, I see.

Rich, baby.

All right.

Somebody.

Hey, sis, make sure I'm close.

Okay, hey, I volunteer as tribute.

Hey, Cher, would you like me to go check on Bowie?

No, we talked and we hugged, and I think he's dealing, and it's all right.

All right. Thank you.

That's that.

That's it right there. It's like Vince's, I got it right?

Not even close, but it's good.

I know it's a little strange, but these are the tiny ways to start to heal.

Listen, you said it, Ma.

Hold on.

Somebody loves you.

You know trouble's always going to be there.

Don't let it bring you to your knees.

He put a whole... With shades on? Oh, my God.

Man, Vince would be mad right now.

Because I think the sauce is better than his.

Right?

Why were you trying it?

Because he said it was good.

Before you lose it all again Look up, do you see the sunlight?

Look up, flowers in your hair Hold on,

cause somebody loves you You know trouble's always gonna be there

Don't let it bring you to your knees, yeah Look up, don't let it bring you to

your knees, yeah Look up.

Don't let it bring you to your knees, yeah.

Look up.

Oh!

It's so hot!

Oh!

I am so glad Bruce left you his guitar. I appreciate you.

I'm done.

Thanks.

Ooh, zero spots.

Renee's got the magic.

Oh, go to bed. We can finish.

It's not like I'm going to sleep in there. I haven't slept alone in the

33 years.

Well, what if Brody came and stayed for a while? He'll keep you company.

I don't want to put it on him. He has his own grief to deal with.

I'll do it.

No. Seriously, we can't have the D .C. run around empty, right?

I got your back.

Come on.

You're a good friend.

Oh, thanks.

He's family.

I'm actually only doing it for the comfy Leone couch.

Thank you. Of course. Thank you.

Vince, call me back or I will blow up your life.

I have Sharon's number, and I will use it from R.

No.

What the hell?

Okay.

Crawford, question.

Got any pets?

Uh, no.

No, sir.

I do. Cats.

Two bangles and a tabby. I didn't go looking for that last one. Uh -uh. She

found me.

Three of them helped keep the damn squirrels out of my garden.

Point is, I like them. I mean, I like the cats. I love the garden.

I love it.

And I'd much rather be with them.

But when I got here, things didn't look good.

I thought it was going to be a long haul, but now I'm thinking that might

true.

Okay. I mean, I don't like to hand out attaboys, but 42 is working hard. I see

it, and I see you've been pushing them.

So now I'm thinking maybe I can't get home sooner rather than later.

Because maybe there's someone here who can take over as chief.

Maybe that person is standing in front of me right now.

Oh.

Sir, I would be honored.

But leaders have to make hard calls.

And whoever ends up in charge here is going to have to make a real hard one.

42 has a problem.

O .D. Leone.

Now yesterday you handled him.

That's not going to be every day.

And I know he came out of con camp, and I'm the first person to believe the

power in turning things around. I love a good redemption story.

But Leone, it's not one.

The way things are going, there's a damn good chance the next battalion chief

will need to cut bait and let him go.

What the hell is this?

Are these yours?

No.

Like we said.

But after he lost it on that patient, I just had a feeling that something was

wrong, so I dug through his stuff. Stop, stop, stop.

Are you saying that these pills were potions?

The ones he said he flushed.

Do you remember?

Addict's life or breakfast.

And he lied to me.

And God is gonna hate me for telling you this.

But he needs help.

That's you and me, Manny.

We gotta help him.
