Listen up.

There are moments in life when we find out what we're made of.

They are grueling, terrifying, that will tear your guts and fat out.

Well, my friends, this is one of those moments.

And you're going to remember what happened here.

You faced your greatest foes.

Those that are much more ruthless and unrelenting than any fire.

And I just pray to God you can tell your grandkids we buried them in our dust.

These Nashville folks are kind of intense.

Yeah. I can't wait to kick their asses.

Well,

this is Nashville.

The light music.

This is a vibe.

It's even noisier than I expected.

Good thing I brought a sound machine.

Come on.

Let's go check in.

Let's have a party in a barn.

Hey.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

Why are you in your PJs?

It's 7 .30. We haven't even had dinner yet. I just figured we'd get room

service. Here, what do you want?

I want to go out.

I want to see what Nashville's about.

There's plenty of good times to have out there. Okay, what do you think this is,

Eddie? A vacation?

Yes, Buck.

Exactly what I think this is. Now get read.

Well, it's not a vacation. It's business.

We're talking about the 51st annual American firefighting game.

It's basically American Ninja Warrior for firefighters.

Okay, first of all, American Ninja Warrior is awesome.

Plus, the winning team gets a $25 ,000 grant for their house.

Two.

Imagine what we could do with that.

The 118 could finally get its own convection oven. You don't need a

oven. You've never seen what one can do to some puff pastry.

Look, my point is, we have got to lock in, starting now.

We are only here because Bobby entered us. We have to make him proud.

You're right.

You're right.

I'm going to give it my all.

But after the last few months I had, I could stand to blow off some steam.

So could you.

No, I'm good.

Training starts at 0700.

Fine. But after we go out. This place is world famous.

Okay, and is L .A. not?

Don't you want to go out and just see that?

Honky Tonks?

Uh, not really.

Try the hot chicken?

No. I read that Nashville is the bachelorette capital of the world.

Sold. Okay, on one condition, though.

When we get back, we do a film session.

Film session?

Yeah, all the old games are on YouTube.

What kind of lunatic does film sessions on the firefighter games?

I want everyone to focus on this moment right here.

Oh, God.

Hurts to watch, doesn't it?

That botched handoff cost us precious points and gift -wrapped another

championship for Boston.

Smug jerks.

Weird and light.

All right.

Who wants to tell me what went wrong?

I started running too early. Couldn't take the blind handle. That's correct,

I didn't call on you.

Rock. What do you think?

I think it doesn't matter what I think, since you and Ryan are doing all the

events. Yeah, hearts always find a way, right?

Until we don't.

Either one of us could break a leg tonight on a call, then it's next man or

woman up.

But this is about pride.

This is Nashville's first time hosting the games, and this is our best chance

win one. I mean, the last thing we want to do is pull a Kenosha.

What's a Kenosha?

You don't want to know.

Sell out the panel a few times. What did I tell you?

Pretty great, isn't it? No, it's a fire hazard is what it is. I don't care what

the city coach says. This place is over capacity.

Ah, fuck.

Would you please just loosen up?

You lured me here under false pretense. You promised me bachelorettes. All I see

are drunk rows and trucker ass.

Check your six o 'clock.

You know, you've always been a man of your word.

Hey, Blondie.

Hey, Blondie. Oh, look at this guy.

Yeah, I'm talking to you.

Hey, buddy.

Listen, I don't think she's interested.

Hey.

Hey, you need a place to sit? Huh?

Come on.

I got the perfect seat for you. All right, pal.

Why don't you just knock it off?

How about I knock you off?

Call 911.

Come on, let's go.

911, what's your emergency?

A guy just fell off a balcony on Broadway.

Now the street's on fire.

Okay, help is on the way.

Hey, get her back. Watch out, watch out. Coming through.

Eddie,

I'm going to find an extinguisher. Stay back.

It looks like the fault attached to his nose.

Hey, stay with me.

Ah, he can't breathe.

Ma 'am, I need your straw now.

And does anybody have a pen or a spoon?

I do.

Give it to me. Thanks.

I need you to hold his head still for me. Can you do that? Okay.

What are you going to do?

He's bleeding too much down his airway.

I'm going to put this down his throat to help him breathe.

I know, man.

Come on, buddy. Breathe.

There we go.

There we go.

Hang on.

Help is here. Hey! Hey!

Hey! Stay back! Stay back!

That's the lefty that cleared the path.

Ryan, Blue!

Come on, let's start knocking down these flames. Captain, it's spreading fast.

We cleared the probe, David. It's a grease fire.

You're probably going to want to use... Christian blanket. Thank you. Yeah.

Somebody knows what he's talking about.

Rock, Taylor, could you help out our other good Samaritan here?

You know what happened, Ted? He fell off a balcony, sustained a severe mid -face

fracture and a broken jaw, opened a temporary airway.

He's breathing, but he's unconscious.

Hey, Taylor, let's get him on the life path, start a line, run it wide open. On

it. I'm Roxy.

I'm Eddie.

Paramedic, too.

Is this a drinking straw?

Works with what I had. I know it's just a stopgap, but...

Well, I kept him alive.

Yeah.

Fire's been knocked down. Grab some sandbags. Put them on the corners. Make

it's secure.

Okay. Lines going in.

What's the read?

He's tachycardic.

I think it's too much blood. Roxy's aspirating.

His airway's still narrow, especially with swelling.

Yeah, we need to reset his nose.

If I could just align his septum with his nostrils, he might be able to get

air. Taylor, give him something for the pain.

Pushing working now. Sir, I need to take out the straw.

Bear with me.

Now I'm going to reset your nasal cavity so you can breathe.

I'm so sorry.

Mendotracheal tube, please.

We're almost there. Just giving you an airway.

Let's connect.

Back in.

Heat is stabilizing.

Heart rate's going down. O2's coming up. Good job.

Hey, welcome back, sir.

You're going to be okay.

Hey, how's he doing?

Be stable, but critical. We're going to head to Village West.

All right, we'll see you back at the house. Nice save. Both of you.

Thank you two gentlemen as well.

Taking your professionals?

Yes, sir.

Firefighters. The 118 in L .A.

Nice. What are you guys doing here?

We're competing in the firefighter game.

No way.

They are too.

No kidding.

Yes, we'll be seeing a lot more of each other.

Yes, you will, sir.

Looking forward to it.

Pleasure to meet y 'all.

Yeah, you guys too.

Take care.

Thanks again. Mm -hmm.

Yep.

Did you hear that?

They're competing in the games.

Yep.

That's what I was afraid of.

So today...

As hosts of the games, we follow a time -honored tradition. We open up the doors

to our firehouse to our fellow competitors.

It's a gesture of friendship and goodwill.

That's awesome.

It'll be so nice to get to know everybody.

Precisely. Getting to know everyone.

That is our key objective today. Just remember, you have two eyes and one

for a reason.

What reason is that?

He wants us to be spies.

Scouts, not spies.

If you notice somebody has a hitch in their gait, if they're favoring one leg,

if they can deadlift 500 pounds, make a note of it. And do it.

Just quickly.

We'll debrief later.

Would not like spice.

Isn't that a little cutthroat?

Have you met them?

This is all in the spirit of good old -fashioned hard -nosed competition.

I thought this was all in the spirit of Southern hospitality.

It is.

Oh, that reminds me, Blue.

I want you to make the heaviest casserole you know. I'm talking

dripping with cream cheese, nacho cheese, bacon, you name it. Well, that's

Boogie's blowout, but it's like a brick.

You won't want to eat that before the game's tomorrow.

Well, we're not going to be eating. The games don't start tomorrow.

They start right now.

113. Y 'all make yourselves at home.

Wow.

Have you ever seen a firehouse this nice? No, I haven't. Real question is,

do they need $25 ,000 for?

Maybe they're not doing it for prize money.

Obviously not.

The place is so gone.

Easy, man.

My grandfather built this place.

Oh, okay. So you're like a trust fund lady.

Hey, there they are. Our Hollywood heroes. Hey, Sailor.

Roxy. Good to see y 'all again.

You guys fired up for the games?

Yes, we are.

What about me? I was looking forward to it.

Wouldn't you like to know?

Okay.

Maybe we should say hi to everybody else.

What the hell was that?

You're trying to be friendly.

We're not here to make friends.

We're here to win.

They're my best friends.

So you guys are from Boston?

I like the sign.

Three straight championships, right? Four.

That's why they call this Titletown.

I love that.

Hey, well.

I'm blue here. This is Griffin Cook, especially when it comes to authentic

Southern cuisine.

Can I interest any of y 'all in a casserole? I will take a piece. I'm

Yeah, me too.

You got it. I'm blue. Hey, I'm Carl, and this is Carl.

You're both named Carl. Yeah, mine's with a K.

Well, if you're looking to relax, we've got pool.

And video games.

We didn't come here for games.

No, except for you literally did.

And the Kenosha Carls, they never miss the games. We just love them.

Too bad they don't love us back.

Why do you say that?

We've never won a single bet.

Well, this could be y 'all's here.

Doesn't matter. We don't do it for the medals. We do it for the camaraderie.

Okay. Anybody hungry?

Speaking of which, aren't you going to offer our friends from L .A. a little

something here? Yeah.

Gentlemen?

Hold on.

What exactly is in that?

You know, breakfast stuff. Some bacon, a little cheese?

You know, I happen to be a baker myself.

I'm smelling.

Three different types of cheese. Is that cream, nacho, and gouda? Oh, we

love gouda. You know we're from Wisconsin.

I think we're actually just going to hit the gym.

Thanks. Come on, Eddie.

Throwing that thing around like a paper.

I mean, they gotta be juicing, right? Come on. Fuck it.

Don't say stuff like that.

All I'm saying is maybe we make an anonymous phone call about a drug test.

That's a cheap way to get an edge.

You're right.

Let's just focus on us.

I didn't say that.

There's a more primal way.

Oh, God.

Trying to give yourself a hernia? No.

Trying to get inside their heads.

There's a reason even silverbacks pop out their chest.

Damn. Oh, hey, look at Captain Nashville.

That old man strength.

You gotta add more weight.

No, Buck, don't add weight.

I'm adding more weight.

Nice work getting in their heads.

Lost in the jungle.

Old man's repping out with 45.

Yeah. Let's see his reflexes.

Heads up.

Nice catch.

What the hell was that, man? Relax.

You said it was an accident. It's all good.

Here's your ball.

Enjoy your workout.

Thanks, Captain.

I'm telling you, they did that on purpose. No question they did it on

113, family meeting right now.

Come on. Hey, Cap.

Call for a family meeting? You shut the door. Yeah. There are ears everywhere.

So, unfortunately, I think we're going to need to change our strategy on the

games. Why?

Because I'm out.

Oh, Lord.

What? happened?

Boston happened.

He was psyching them out so bad that they accidentally threw a medicine ball

my head and he caught it like a freaking ninja.

Now it's more like my pinky caught it.

Rox, would you do the honors, please?

Ah! Yep, that's skinnier.

Yeah,

you're gonna need to ice it.

Probably splint it for a week.

Gosh, those Beantown snakes.

That's what I told him. We should have him disqualified. And I told you that we

don't complain. We get even. The best way to get revenge is to be in where it

matters most, and that's at the games.

How are we supposed to do that without our captain?

This is why we drill. So the next hero of the 113 can step up.

The only question is, who's it going to be?

Nope.

Yeah, no, I pass.

What are you all talking about?

Right. What, you run a 4 -7 -40 kill? You're the deadliest shot with a hose in

the entire county? Why wouldn't you want to compete?

You know we would run for fire for you on any clock, Kat.

Absolutely. But when it comes to competition, you hearts can be kind of

both of you.

Yeah, and the opposition seems worse.

Well, somebody's got to do it. And I pity the poor soul.

Sorry I'm late. The Carls wouldn't stop talking my ears off.

Y 'all know they make over 600 varieties of cheese in Wisconsin?

The poor soul.

by Chelsea Lorraine. As your new mayor, it is my great honor to welcome all you

heroes to Nashville and officially open the 51st firefighting game.

Now I'll hand over the mic to today's emcee, a 911 dispatcher proudly

representing Nashville Emergency Services.

Please welcome Kami Raleigh.

are designed to showcase the speed, strength, and courage it takes to do the

job. No matter who wins today, we are all grateful for your service.

Now, buckle up, folks, because the first event is about to start.

Let's go, Nashville!

Yeah, you got this!

Oh, well, hiya, boys.

I thought that...

Twins. Inverse has a twist that's done to humor sometimes.

Oh, I can think of someone even more twisted.

Excuse me.

Would you girls mind if I scooted in there? Oh, no, please. Go right ahead.

Exciting.

Oh,

oh, no. You girls are from the same house. I did not mean to split up

Oh, no, no, no, no. You're fine. You did not. We're all good.

I'm live. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Dixie. I'm Carla from Kenosha, and that over there is my hubby Carl.

Wait, Carl and Carla?

Oh, don't forget about his teammate, Carl.

But with a K.

So, which one of these boys is yours?

Oh, well, that's my son, Ryan, and then the captain there is my husband.

Father and son working together.

Oh!

And how about you, Dixie?

Well, that there is my son, Blue.

And that's his daddy, too.

Your husband?

Yeah.

Well, how about that?

This is your moment, boys.

Of course we want to win that trophy.

There's something more important we're playing for.

We're playing for those people.

You do it for your family. For family!

Let's do it for Bobby.

Win on me?

Win on three.

One, two, three.

I think you've had enough of these.

Our first event is the firefight.

Will the competitors please make their way to the stalls?

Sure I can.

You gotta not care about the heat. Sure, dude.

And a little luck never hurt.

Well, the best make their own bucks.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

And L .A. wins the first event.

Oh, my goodness.

Language, Dixie.

The whole point of the game is to build camaraderie between the departments,

okay? We're supposed to be friendly.

That's the funniest thing is you don't know the meaning of the word.

Listen, boys, we don't want them getting there early. Their heads get to yours.

Now, this next one is ours. Ryan, I'm looking at you. What do you say?

Hearts always find a way. Let's get her done.

with Kenosha bringing up the rear.

This is like

Put your arms down.

There's no way.

I beat him.

Come on. Go to the coach's challenge. I want to see the tape. There is no

coach's challenge.

Wait, what the hell, ref?

Language, Blake.

And with that result, here are the latest standings.

Boston now has sole possession of first, with L .A. and Nashville tied for

second coming into our final event.

Don't worry, Dad. We got one more event, and we're leaving no room for doubt.

Because we're better than these chumps.

That's your dad, huh?

I didn't catch that yesterday.

Yeah.

Why?

Well, I just, I knew you were a trust fund baby.

I didn't know you were a nepo baby, too.

What'd you just say, chump?

Forget about this. We'll get electrolytes.

Nepo baby.

Oh, come on.

Don't listen to that term. You know, Dad wouldn't want him getting your head.

Who are you calling a jerk?

Wait, hold on a sec.

That's your dad, too?

Yeah, so?

So we're competing against two NAPO babies.

I'm Firehouse's daddy runner.

Hey, what happened to you?

Where'd you come from?

I got help.

He needs help.

Who?

Got a firehouse and daddy runs.

Come on, let's go.

This isn't the spirit of the game. Hey, guys, nobody wants to see bad blood.

You okay?

Get the med kit.

Hey, what happened to you?

Where'd you come from?

Y 'all got help.

He needs help.

Who?

Jason. We were racing. I clipped him. We lost control and he went up.

It's not my fault. I just wanted to win.

I know we're right.

ABC's are normal. Looking at possible internal injuries.

You said he went up? What did you mean, up?

Where is Jason? Just down the street.

You gotta help him.

You four go. I'll send backup.

Taylor, radio dispatch.

Tell them to get fire and rescue on the street. This way!

Hey, hey, hey, here we go!

Fire department, we're coming!

No, it's empty. Wrong car. This must be our guys.

Okay, then where's the other one?

Seb went up.

Oh, hey, I think I found it.

How the heck did it get up there?

I must have hit the curb too fast and went airborne.

Come on, let's go.

That's still fire. Can you hear us? Yes, we hear.

Please, help me.

We're coming for you.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Help! A lot of smoke.

Engine's probably on fire.

Y 'all smell that?

Fuel?

We need a boost. Yeah, I got you.

Okay, here.

Tank's leaking like a thim.

to break the glass. You know, something wood, nothing metal. Yeah, okay, look.

Okay.

Here.

Try this.

Blue.

This will do.

Easy, easy.

Sir, we're going to break the glass.

Number glass 101.

You hit the edges where the glass is weakened.

It's going to be a tight fit.

You're too big. Out of the way.

Hurry. That fuel's going to ignite.

Okay, hang on tight, sir. We're coming to get you.

Hey, you must be Jason. I'm Ryan.

Okay? We're going to take care of you. Are you in any kind of pain?

My legs are broken.

They're my chest hurts.

Is Scotty okay?

He's my friend. He's going to be all right. He's the one that told us about

Let's worry about you, okay?

I'll be listening in.

Driver's draft engine's on fire and car's leaking fuel.

Run in there right now.

She felt stuck.

You don't have a cutting tool.

Not doing it right.

Tie this around him.

Hey,

come on. We got more flames.

Where's that water?

Come on. Bring that dirty in here.

We got to hurry, boys. Before this thing goes.

Put that stretcher. Put the stretcher right in here.

We got your butt.

Take his neck.

Well, closer than it needed to be.

What's that supposed to mean? It means if your big brother here knew how to

bring a glass properly.

First of all, I'm the little brother. I would have broke it if you didn't swoop

in. Because you're too slow.

Too slow?

Seriously, Hollywood? Ryan, enough.

No reason to argue over who's better.

Especially when you can go out and prove it on the course.

We got one event left. The best team win.

Come on.

It all comes down to this.

Boston leads with Nashville and L .A. tied for second. Our final event is the

partner relay. It's worth five points, and it could give Nashville or L .A. the

chance to close the gap and win the trophy. But no matter what the

says, I think we can all agree we feel the love and respect here.

Yeah, right.

I don't know what this dispatcher lady's smoking.

Watch it.

That dispatch lady's my aunt.

Are you kidding me? Is everyone in this town related?

Okay. Go, you guys!

Come on, come on, come on. Hey, everybody say Limburger!

Limburger!

Limburger!

How are your nerves, princess?

I'm not gonna lie, I could use a drink.

Oh.

Okay.

He has that down.

Thank you.

Oh, what the hey.

Firefighters, take your baton to the starting line, please.

Hey, Buck, let's crush these fools.

Let's do it.

Hey, Ron, keep their ass.

Oh, yeah, but... Hey, remember the film, boys.

Focus on that handoff, okay?

You got this one!

Come on, just like we trained. Come on, come on.

Come on, baby brother. Go, go, go. Hit it. Almost there.

Let's never speak of that. No, never.

You gals are a fool.

Hey, hey, hey, what's a tiebreaker? Somebody bring me a rule book. Hold on,

don't need one.

What do you mean?

What if we decide not to break it?

You mean just leave it as a tie?

Like two names on the trophy?

Yeah.

What do you all say, huh?

How do we know who's better?

Is it both? Is it neither?

Okay, okay, but you better be ready to show us a damn good time tonight,

Jackson. That can be raining.

Hey,

can I get everybody's attention?

I told my team before the games began they would never forget what happens

today. And you know what?

I would say this day did not disappoint.

So history was made twice at this year's games.

For the first time ever, our brothers from Kenosha.

won an event.

It

also

marks the first time there was a tie atop the leaderboard. So next year there

will be two cities on the winner's plate. There will be Nashville and there

be LA.

It means our houses will forever be tied together, which I personally take as a

tremendous honor.

Some of you may know that

Firefighters Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz here. They lost their captain last year

in the line of duty.

Captain Bobby Nash, the 118.

I only got to meet Captain Nash one time.

It was a conference back when he was in St. Paul. He was teaching a course on

ice rescue. I didn't get to know him well, but I can tell you that he was

he was incredibly professional, and that he would be very proud.

Never in my life have I seen a better example of what firefighting is all

than what you all showed out there today.

Hear, hear.

I think sometimes we forget that there are things that are more important than

winning. Oh, come on. We tap.

Watch it last.

So I'll make a toast.

The spirit of the games.

The spirit of the games.

Now.

Having said all that, who thinks they can stay on that bull the longest, huh?

Thank you for that piece, Kevin Hart.

Oh, you're welcome, Evan, but call me Don.

Well, only if you call me Buck, bitch.

So, what's your story?

Don't worry about it. You're not in it.

were amazing tonight.

Why, thank you, Johnny.

But tonight's not done.

Oh.

You know, you were right. I really did need to have a good time.

I'm glad you finally enjoyed Nashville. Yeah,

you too.

Okay.

I'm ready to call it.

So which one of you boys is buying me a drink?

Well, Kathleen, my friend here was actually just leaving.

Good night, brother.

Good night, Eddie.

So, uh, what's your name, Kathleen?
