Original subtitles

Guys, go, go, go!

It's Sharon Leone. Leave a message.

Hey, Mom. Saw your text.

No need to rush back. We're okay.

Got fires popping off all over. My little station's still down, but 42's

grinding.

What we do.

What's the ETA on that call address?

I saw the photos.

you look happy mama i'm glad you deserve it don't worry about

us we got this

hey

hey

i was out cutting grass and this fire started yeah i probably caught a rock

through sport I didn't think anyone would show.

We lost our firehouse in the flood. Yeah, 42's covering.

Why don't you stand back, right? We'll get this thing knocked down.

Well, weren't you and Jake here a couple days ago for a fuel leak?

Maybe. I don't know.

Haven't had a lot of sleep. Been covering calls across two towns, so it's

hard to keep track.

Has y'all been underwater?

Too soon?

It sounded really good in my head.

Yeah. Hey!

Chloe coming today?

She's got to stay over in Reading for a few more weeks.

Easier for her to visit Tyler.

Okay, so she's going to miss you repping Cal Fire on Founders Day for the first

time. Got it.

It's fine.

I'll have Nona with me.

He's been looking forward to this.

He's been talking about nothing else.

Oh, another one?

Really?

Been calling light gray smoke.

Looks like a campfire.

No, it looks like a you problem.

Me? Mm-hmm.

You volunteered to come help today. Yeah, and I will do that by tagging you

out so you can deal with it.

Thank you.

Now hurry up so I can get back to my day job. Yeah.

Hey, you got to put that out when the red flag warning that means no

campfires. All right fine, okay

Happy

really you give me attitude Sorry, but we have fuel everywhere. There's dry

winds low humidity.

Okay, buddy. Yeah, I get it I know all about fire danger before you come any

closer. You got some ID or something prove to me. You're really with cow fire

Is that bear spray? This is anti-dude-sneaking-up-on-a-woman-alone-in-the-woods

spray, as far as I'm concerned.

I wasn't sneaking up on... ID?

Please?

Uh... What?

Pennsylvania, huh?

Just passing through?

It's none of your business.

You're right.

Sorry.

I'm sorry about your coffee.

Yeah, well, probably want to taste it like sludge anyway.

You know, if you need your fix, best cup of coffee in Norcal is a Smokey's next

town over.

If you go, just drop my name. First cup's on me.

Thanks, but I'm really not into firefighters.

Oh, well, I wasn't... No, I wasn't hitting on you. I just... I feel bad.

My family owns the place.

Okay, thank you.

I'm sorry, I get a little on edge being out here alone sometimes.

Yeah, I get it.

Promise me. Yep, copy that. No campfires.

I gotta say, this uniform is really doing it for me.

Edgewater should have more public events like this.

I think most of my guys prefer to skip this one. Catch them on some rest.

But community engagement is important right now, and we've got to represent.

Yeah, you're representing the hell out of that uniform.

Thank you.

42's going to a party.

It's just perfect.

I'm sorry? You should be.

Three homes went up last week, and where were you guys?

Pineville. Oh, yeah, go ahead.

Have fun.

What happened to those homes was tragic.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys, we're stretched pretty thin right now.

30 years in Edgewater, I have never heard a Cal Fire chief make excuses.

And by the way, where the hell is Sharon Leone?

That woman has been MIA for weeks.

Chief Leone, it's just taking some personal time right now.

But I get your anger.

Trust me.

We begged Sacramento for help, but it never came.

Which is why tomorrow the Edgewater Board of Supervisors is going to pass an

emergency budget so that way we can hire more hands and get things back to

normal. Oh, that's great.

But it's not going to bring those homeless back, will it?

Hey, come on, Hayden.

Let's go.

By the way, what are those homes that went up?

Those are moms.

I understand that they're hurting, but that wasn't fair.

Yeah, maybe not.

But I get it.

You have a text.

Looks like we got some new blood.

All right, gentlemen, let's move.

Let's move.

Come on, come on.

Hey, why was that Folsom with that dude?

Rumor is he stabbed two inmates while we were there.

How'd a guy like that get leveled down to fire camp?

All right, welcome to Three Rock.

I'm Eve Edwards, your Cal Fire captain.

So I like to keep things pretty simple here.

You work hard. You follow my orders.

You go home sooner.

Make sense?

File out.

What's this?

So camp is, uh, self-sustaining.

Be what we grow.

Farm to table.

Yeah, I guess that's what it is.

You're Angel, right?

What's your story?

Just here to do a good time, Kat.

That's what I like to hear.

Hey, baby.

Okay, I, uh... I got some bad news.

42's camping out in Pineville again tomorrow, so I'm sorry.

Oh, it's not your fault.

So, um... I'm late.

Well, it's a good thing you married a guy with a siren.

Don't worry, we'll run some lights.

No, uh...

I'm late.

Oh, you're late.

As in... As in... I... You might be pregnant. Pregnant. Yeah.

Oh.

Wow, I... I can't believe this.

I know.

And honestly, it might sound crazy, but I'm kind of excited.

Yeah.

How do you feel?

What? Are you serious? Baby, I'm thrilled. This is amazing.

We need to schedule you a doctor's appointment, and don't worry, I'll take

time off of work and baby proof. Jake, Jake, Jake. We got baby proof. It's

okay. Just breathe.

Okay.

Let me take a pregnancy test.

I can take care of that tonight, and then we'll go from there, okay?

Baby, I love you. I love you, too.

Look, I know it's not how we planned it, and it's so daunting, and

everything would change, but I don't care.

It is my honor to welcome you all to the 175th Edgewater Founders Day Festival.

Thank you all for being here as we celebrate our community.

Enjoy the festivities!

Hey, we're going to have to get a picture of the two of us at some point

today. I think Mom's going to want one.

Well, she's not here?

No. She's on that motorcycle trip, remember?

Uh, yeah.

How do I look?

Hold on, hold on.

Can't have a Cal Fire legend missing a button.

Is that good?

Bill. Oh, excuse me.

Chief Perez.

How are we doing?

I'm good.

Listen, I just wanted to say thanks.

42 really appreciates the Board of Supervisors having us back with that

emergency funding.

We're going to do what we can for you guys.

You got my word. I appreciate that.

Have a great day. You too.

Annie! Nice to see you.

42.

Eyes on me.

Listen, guys, I am honored to be here with you today.

especially in the presence of those who came before us.

And I know that a lot has been asked of you lately, but help is coming.

And just remember that Edgewater has been sacrificing a lot, too, all right?

So let's cover up our stress. Let's hide our exhaustion. Let's get out there and

make them proud of us.

You with me?

We got you, Chief.

We got it, sir.

All right, then. Let's do it.

All right.

Best coffee in NorCal, huh?

Ooh.

Damn.

Ooh,

pickles.

Holy mackerel, is that Donnie Wolfe?

Who's Donnie Wolfe?

He was captain of the old volunteer fire department.

I didn't know Edgewater used to have a VFD. Oh, yeah, still does, technically.

It's been out of commission for a few years, but still does.

Lemonade.

Hey,

Pennsylvania!

Oh.

Yeah, you weren't kidding.

What's wrong?

Greencrest, battalion 1508.

We have a large sinkhole at the Edgewater Founders Day Festival.

I need ambulances, and I need three rock. Dr. Thurston is on scene. I will

have her set up a triage and a treatment site in Focus Tavern.

I'm establishing Main Street IC.

No, no.

No, no.

No, no.

There's been an emergency.

We're going to need your help. Can you push these tables together? I need a

triage center. I need everybody on deck. Do you have a first aid kit?

Yeah, you got it. Great. Thank you.

Okay.

Hey.

That's a nasty cut.

This is my grandfather, Walter.

Here, sit down.

I'll leave you with this.

Thank you.

He has dementia.

As soon as I get past stuff, I'm gonna come and find you. You're gonna need all

the help you can get.

Oh, so, Camille, so you should stay here. Oh, no, no, no. You're not gonna

sideline me with some busy work. No offense, honey.

Oh, none taken. By the way, it's Dr. Honey.

Bodie, come on. I... I can be useful.

Ask your mom. Go. Go ask your mom.

No, no, you're not at your best right now. That's why I need to stay here.

I gotta get back and help out. Yeah.

Huh.

Well... Go on and get some.

Be safe.

Let's get this patched up here.

All right, we're gonna need a lot more hands.

Where's the rest of 42?

Rush Fire in Pineville Mountains.

Richard says it's at least 90 minutes out.

Hey, what do we know?

It's hard to say until we get in there, man.

Hello? Hey, it's me.

I called Smokey's and they gave me your number.

You guys pull your eyes in the hole.

You okay? I saw you go in.

Yeah, damn sinkhole made me drop my coffee. But other than that...

Okay, um, it's a lot more than I can say for these guys.

We got multiple patients, various injuries.

Whoa, hey, wait.

Isn't that... It's Bill Godley.

I think it's his femoral artery.

So I gotta hang up the phone so I can stop bleeding, but we can really use

your help down here.

Yeah, do what you can. Help's on its way.

Okay.

Who the hell was that?

We just met this morning.

I think she just became Rebecca.

This might feel a little tight.

Oh, God, that's a lot of blood. Don't look at it. Look at my face.

Just look at me.

Look, I need you two to rappel down the hole. Looks like about 30 feet.

Well, we're gonna need a high point for that.

I requested a ladder truck, but there's no ETA, so we're gonna need a plan B.

I got one.

You know Daryl Cain?

Meryl Toewing?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they spawned some guns and hoses last year. He's got a rotator

truck.

That'll work.

Keep coming, Daryl.

We got to clear those vehicles in case this hole expands.

Push all this back. Okay, stop.

Three Rock's still ten minutes away.

I said we'd pull some volunteers in from the crowd to help.

They still didn't get here.

Yeah, it's smart.

Good. All right, get some. Be safe.

Let's go.

Swing it out a little bit, Daryl. Swing it out.

Okay, lower him down.

There you go. Keep this as immobile as possible.

Hug it in close. Do you have any pain? Hey.

Sit tight.

It's about time.

How was it?

He's been in and out of consciousness.

Don't bother doing the 360.

I've already done it. We got a patient possibly trapped under this half-buried

car, two more under rubble, but he's the priority. He's CTD.

Circling the drain.

Yeah, I know what it means.

It's on the firefighter's say.

What station are you in? I'm not.

Not in... What about that flood, by the way? In Pineville?

Big flood.

You know, with time and gravity and the right soil conditions, water can travel

miles underground.

You think the flood caused this sinkhole?

Hey, Bill.

How we doing?

Why did I die?

Well, you better not.

It's 42's count on you and the Board of Supervisors to help fix our manpower

issues.

Thanks to her, you're gonna be okay.

I want to say excuse me next time, my boy. No disrespect, but I'm in charge of

this group. For now.

All right, three rocks. So we're going to clear out this hot zone and avoid the

sinkhole, all right? Let's move.

Yo, that guy over there, white helmet, who is he?

Boss? It's Chief Perez.

What's so funny?

Life.

Life's hilarious.

All right,

what's the priority?

This car right here, possible patient trapped inside. Somebody thinks they

heard a voice.

But there's no access through the doors or windows.

Right.

And who are you again?

She's a firefighter. Nope.

Was not anymore Well, it's good to have you what do you

be three one two three

All

right,

you got this I'm gonna go check the car I see

Patients on main and safety, all slow, all slow.

Do me a favor, tell Daryl that I own one.

Copy. Do you know everyone in this town by their first name?

No.

I still don't know yours.

It's CJ.

Hello? Cal Fire, anyone in there?

Bring everybody over here.

Everybody lined up so we start getting you out of here, all right? Thank you.

Cal Fire, call out if you can hear me.

Somebody there.

Help me.

Hang on, I'm coming.

Mrs.

Ritter?

It's me, Jay Crawford. You remember from Music Appreciation?

He used to cheat off Eve Edwards.

When you weren't cutting my class, Jake.

Yeah, that was me.

Good times.

All right, listen, I'm going to leave, but I'm going to come right back.

No, don't leave.

Please don't go. Please. Hey, hey, hey. Please don't leave me. Mrs. Ritter, I

know you're scared, but it's going to be okay.

How about you hum something for me?

It can be anything. Maybe something that you taught us.

Uh, look, how about air on the G string?

You remember that?

You remember that?

Well, it had G string in the title. How could I not?

Jake. Here you go.

There you go.

Put your hands up for me.

That John was a good idea.

I'm gonna hand it to you.

What's a John?

Well, it's Philly for anything.

I was referring to the tow truck.

I see you up on Main.

Copy. One more to this room.

Thanks.

So I was an ex-firefighter from Philadelphia, end up in NorCal.

You just got in my car one day and kept going?

I did that once.

It was years before I finally came home.

What brought you back?

Armed robbery.

B.

All right, A.

So you know that trap patient in there?

It's Mrs. Ritter.

Our old music teacher? Yeah. You know her, too?

Yeah. This is like the Sesame Street of sinkholes.

Her arm's pinned, and she's cold to the touch. She's in shock. Exactly. So we

need to dig her out as soon as possible, or else we're gonna lose her. Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey! Go! Go! Hey, get up!

Jake, Bodie, talk to me. Is everyone okay in there?

Yeah, yeah, we're all right.

Hey, what happened?

It's a tow truck. It's too heavy.

We gotta move it before the whole side caves in.

If they do that, we'll be stuck down here.

Tell them they can't leave us.

They don't have a choice.

Manny, we need a new evac fast.

We have a trapped patient showing signs of shock.

I'm on it.

Hey, Eve. Yep.

We got people fading.

We're gonna run a high line across the hole and evac that way.

I need Three Rock laying ground pads, tying off anchor points. Use all the

wood from these booths here, okay? Copy you, Chief.

All right, Three Rock, on me. Let's go.

Angel?

Hey, Manny. All the places, huh?

What the hell are you doing here?

Just following your lead.

Don't give me that crap.

It was your pops, wasn't it?

You pull some strings to get you in the fire camp?

OG got juice, but not that kind of juice.

Now, we done here? Because my captain just gave me an order.

Yeah, we're done here.

But we ain't done.

I'll be talking to you, Captain.

I'm sure you will.

Man, if he could see you now.

All he sees are prison walls.

That's all he's ever gonna see.

It smelled in there like rotting eggs or something.

At least where I was standing.

Did you say rotten eggs?

Yeah. Smell like rotten eggs?

Well, that's not good.

No, no, no. Well, remember we told Bodie that you would stay put. No, I gotta

warn him. You wanna knuckle up, old man? Bring it, because I will lay you out.

Okay, okay.

You got a set on you.

I like that. I'll give you that. But I gotta warn him. Let me use your walkie.

Please.

All right, look, we gotta clear all this rubble by hand. It's the only way to get

to Mrs. Ritter.

Mody!

Mody, can you hear me? Come in.

No, no.

You okay?

Yeah, I... I need you to check your gas meter right now.

Yeah, the levels are elevated, but we're still good down here. Why? What's wrong?

There's a sewer right next to you. I did a rescue there years ago.

I think you might have a gas leak.

If he's right, we have a big problem. Sewer gas is flammable.

Alright, look, I got this. Stand by.

Pretty sure this is the sewer wall.

Oh, my God.

This must have cracked open when the ground gave way. Yeah, no, no.

You're right. There's a leak.

Alright.

Now, you know if enough of that gas mixes with the air, it'll become

explosive. You need to ventilate fast.

Right. Thanks. Okay, we need to search out ignition sources and snuff them out

fast. Yep. All right, you get started. I'll loop in Jake. Okay.

Hey, yo, put some muscle into it. What the hell, man? Dig in. If we weren't a

four-yard, he'd be leaving on a gurney. Hey!

Get off his ass. This isn't a four-yard. This is Edgewater.

This is where you want to be?

I saw you with the chief, too. That looked heated.

You want to tell me what that was about?

We want to know?

You and this whole punk-ass crew.

Said he's glad to see a real one's out here.

Are you serious?

I'm serious about getting these ground pads in place.

Hey, that's what I'm talking about. Man, watch out. These boards are going to

shore up the edge of the hole so we can get people out.

We got lives on the line. Let's go.

Don't stand there staring at me.

Get moving!

Hang in there, Mrs. Ritter.

We're working on getting you out.

Uh,

Bodie.

Bodie, we got a car battery that's sparking like crazy over there.

We hit the explosive point already?

How is that possible?

There's got to be another leak somewhere.

Okay. Hey, everybody, you got to get back. Get behind something right now.

Get behind something. Come on, let's go. All right, people, let's go. Move. Come

on. Okay, right over here.

Manny, you need to clear that street now. This thing is a...

You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Angel.

Hey, you good? Yeah.

Does anyone hurt? All right, hey.

Hey, Camille, we got a possible fracture. Right arm. It ain't broken.

It's dislocated. Okay, well, let's have a look at it.

Used to happen a lot when you was a kid.

How do you know that? Oh, this should be good.

It's my nephew.

Really? How's this the first time I'm hearing about this? Because we're not

his family.

We're dead to him.

Ain't that right, Manny? Okay, clearly there's a lot to unpack here, but right

now I need to look at his shoulders. So why don't you come with me over here?

Have a seat. No, Manny, over here.

Do you want to explain to me what's going on?

I don't want to really talk about it. Okay, well, you're going to have to

because it is one of my guys and I need to know what this beef is between you.

I got a brother.

He's a shot caller.

He's doing life for murder.

And Angel, Angel, he's pretty messed up. His pops turned him into a soldier.

But I can tell you this, he's not here to do good time.

How long has it been since you've seen him?

Ten years. Manny!

Eve, trust me. I know this kid.

He's a hustler.

And he's not here to better himself.

He's only here because he wants to parole.

People change in 10 years, Manny. Yeah, some people do change, but not him.

Look, I got to get back.

But I'm telling you, this kid is trouble.

And whatever he says, don't believe it.

All right, Mrs. Ritter.

How are we doing?

A little lightheaded.

Okay. Can I see that finger?

There you go. Okay.

What's wrong, Jake?

You're gonna be okay.

All right.

We through this?

If you're not gonna tell me the truth, you should at least distract me.

I heard you got... Married a few weeks ago.

Tell me about your wife.

Well, her name's Violet.

She's great.

And she might also be pregnant already.

You don't seem excited.

No, no, I am.

Or I was, at least.

But then I started thinking about how much kids cost and, I mean, how

dangerous my job is. And, I mean, Violet's schedule, it's... Crazy hours.

You're future tripping.

I do it too.

Future tripping.

I learned that from my students.

They tell me, Mr. Ritter, chill, bro.

So Jake, chill, bro.

There's no way the two of us can move all this.

Hold on a second.

Hey.

I know that you would rather be getting out of here, but if anybody's up for it,

we could really use some help.

You got it.

Great. Let's go.

All right. We got to move all this rubble from the side of the car.

Okay. Ready?

On three.

What's wrong with you? Well, trust me, it's better this way.

I'm going to find you some ibuprofen.

Hey, whatever Manny told you about me, it's all lies.

Yeah, I have a sheet, but follow my pops and it'll jam me up.

No, I just want to... Do a good time.

Yeah, you said that already.

If you're injured, you should sit.

Get shipped out to Jamestown?

Ain't gonna be that easy to get rid of me.

Seen how I just saved Cap's life.

Come on, Three Rock, hustle!

Pulley system's almost ready to go.

Grab it, grab it!

Just about there, Mrs. Ritter.

Assies and elbows, let's move it!

We gotta shore up that edge!

Mrs. Ritter.

Mrs. Ritter?

Her pulse is thready.

Her arm is still stuck.

We should let some air out of the tire. No, no, no. This rubble could shift. Too

risky. Miss Ritter.

There's bruising on her lower abdomen.

That looks like a lacerated spleen. If we don't get her out of here, she's not

gonna make it.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, Manny, it's now or never.

Look, I need that evac.

Manny, talk to me.

How we doing?

Pulley system's ready. First basket's about to come down.

Releasing this air pressure is our only play. No. If the debris shifts, it could

crush her.

Okay. Well, either way, the debate's over.

Get the spine board ready.

Help her.

Okay. All right, I'll take the head. Okay.

On three. One, two, three.

I see secure and patient in the basket.

Okay, slide her down. Nice and easy.

It's okay, Mrs. Ritter.

We got you.

We got you out, and now we're gonna send you up.

All right? The paramedics are waiting for you up there.

I think she's okay.

I see you've raised on me.

Copy.

All right, three, rock, pull!

Steady, pull!

Keep it smooth, gentlemen.

Keep it smooth.

Everybody else, we're gonna get you out of here one by one. You guys just line

up.

Hell

of

a Founder's Day, huh?

Might have been my last if you hadn't given us a heads up on that sewer gas.

Good work, Leonis.

You too.

CJ's Chief Briz.

You know, for all our bad luck today, if I hadn't gone a while, a stray

firefighter would end up in that hole.

Yeah. Would you mind doing me one more favor?

Heading back to the station with us for the AAR?

No.

No, I'm sorry. I just, I don't think you really need me there for an after

-action. You got first eyes on incident.

Tell you what.

Try to drop him off. I'll stop by Smokey's.

After-action coffee's on me.

Well, that is really good coffee.

All right, fine.

Fine, fine.

Proud of you.

You saved a lot of lives today, Chief.

Thank you, sir.

No, no.

Get you back to the stable. Come on.

Hey, I heard Mrs. Ritter and Bill Gottlieb are gonna pull through.

Yeah.

Look, I know you were waiting on him and the Board of Supervisors to approve this

emergency funding, so this is what I'm thinking.

What are you gonna do with Angel?

What do you mean?

You gonna keep him on the crew?

If it weren't for Angel, I wouldn't be breathing right now.

You don't know him, Eve?

Or my brother?

Did you even read his file? Yes, I did, Manny. So then you saw the charges.

You know what I saw?

I saw a guy that was lights out today.

That's exactly what guys like Angel do, Eve. They find the angle and make you

trust them. Guys like Angel?

It... No one's the worst thing they've ever done. That's what you say all the

time. No one don't, all right? The only thing that Angel wants is to get out of

here fast so he can get back in the game, and that makes him dangerous.

I'm telling you, he will put your entire crew at risk.

Well, I talked to him.

I'm not convinced you're right.

You want to believe him?

Fine.

He's gonna use that against you.

And don't say I didn't warn you.

We got a good group here.

Yeah, I saw some of that today.

You know, I'm kind of surprised that you still haven't asked me why.

Why you're no longer a firefighter?

There's no better work than this.

So if you've walked away from all of it, then I'm guessing something pretty bad

happened.

Something that you probably don't want to talk about.

I don't want to pry.

I appreciate that.

Look, you know, I know that you're only just passing through, but Edgewater is a

special town.

Now's a good place to heal.

To heal me.

That would have been a very convincing pitch if I hadn't just watched a hole

swallow half of your main street.

Fair.

You know, even if I wanted to leave, I can't.

One of those manhole covers crushed the front half of my car.

No. I have no idea how long it's going to take to fix it, so... Cheers.

And to think, all because I took you up on a free cup of coffee.

Everybody!

circle up come on all

right first

good we saved a lot of lives today including the top

dog at the board of supervisors which is a very good thing because we're counting

on those folks to give our house some much-needed relief it's not coming

I'm sorry I wasn't here. I came as soon as I heard.

It's good to have you back, Chief, but I'm not following you. What do you mean

it's not coming?

I got a call when I was on my way back. The money, the money that you were

counting on to help us hire hands and support 42, it's been pulled. All the

money's going to fix Main Street.

So we're on our own.

Maybe not.

And we saw Edgewater step up today.

You know, volunteers from the crowd, patients inside the sinkhole.

We used to have a volunteer department to help carry the load.

Maybe it's time to bring that back.

You know, if nobody's coming to help, then Edgewater's gonna have to help

I'm happy to roll with us.

Get it going.

I respect your hustle, buddy. I do.
