Hey, I was out cutting grass and this fire started.

No, she's got to stay over in Redding for a few more weeks.

Three homes went up last week.

And where were you guys?

Pineville.

But yeah, go ahead. Have fun.

What happened to those homes was tragic.

Now, 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.

Chief Leone.

And she's taking some personal time right now.

But I get your anger.

Trust me.

We begged Sacramento for help, but it never came.

the Edgewater Board of Supervisors is gonna pass

an emergency budget so that way we can hire more hands

I learned that from my students.

They told me,

"Mrs. Ritter...

...chill, bruh."

[both laugh]

It's fine...

So, Jake...

Chill, bruh.

[soft chuckle]

[straining]

[panting]

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

Hold on a sec.

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.

Y-You got it.

BODE: Great. Let's go.

All right.

We gotta move all this rubble from the side of the car.

Okay, ready?

- [Angel groans] - On three.

- [pops] - Oh!

- [Angel groans] - [Camille exhales]

What's wrong with you?

Well, trust me, it's...

it's better this way.

I'm gonna find you some ibuprofen.

[scoffs]

ANGEL: Hey.

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

Yeah, I have a sheet, but...

followed my pops and it jammed me up.

- Now I just want to-- - Do good time.

Yeah.

You said that already.

[helicopter whirring overhead]

If you're injured, you should sit.

And get shipped out to Jamestown?

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

Seein' how I just saved Cap's life.

[grunting]

Come on, Three Rock, hustle!

Pulley system's almost ready to go.

Grab it, grab it!

JAKE: Just about there, Mrs. Ritter.

Asses and elbows! Let's move it!

We gotta shore up that edge.

Mrs. Ritter?

Mrs. Ritter?

Her pulse is thready.

MRS. RITTER: Uh...

Her arm is still stuck.

We should let some air

- out of the tire. - JAKE: No, no, no.

This rubble could shift. Too risky.

BODE: Mrs. Ritter?

There's bruising on her lower abdomen.

CJ: 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's our only play.

No. If the debris shifts,

it could crush her.

- [air hissing] - CJ: Okay.

Well, either way, the debate's over.

[sighs]

Got it?

Get the spine board ready.

Help her.

- [Mrs. Ritter groans] - [CJ grunts]

BODE: Good.

- CJ: Okay. - All right.

- I'll take the head. - Okay.

- BODE: On three. One, two... - Two...

- Three. - Three.

Okay? So let's line up.

Hell of a Founders' Day, huh?

Might've been my last,

if you hadn't given us a heads-up on that sewer gas.

Hey, good work, Leones.

You, too.

- Hmm? - CJ, this is Chief Perez.

You know, for all our bad luck today...

...find it kind of wild that a stray firefighter

would end up in that hole.

[scoffs]

- Yeah. - Would you mind doing me

one more favor?

Heading back to the station with us for the AAR?

No.

No, I'm sor-- I just, I don't think

you really need me there for an after action.

MANNY: You had first eyes on incident.

Tell you what.

After I drop him off, I'll stop by Smokey's.

After action coffee's on me.

Well, it is really good coffee.

All right, fine.

Fine, fine.

Proud of you.

You saved a lot of lives today,

- Chief. - Thank you, sir.

Nonno. Let's get you back to the stable. Come on.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- [knocks at door] - EVE: Hey.

I heard Mrs. Ritter and Bill Gottlieb

are going to 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.

MANNY: What are you gonna do with Angel?

What do you mean?

You gonna keep him on your 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.

See, that's exactly what guys like Angel do, Eve.

They find the angle, they 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. 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.

Hmm.

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? - Mm.

Fine.

But he's gonna use that against you.

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

[quiet chatter]

♪ ♪

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... no better work than this.

So if you walked away from all of it,

then I'm-I'm guessing something pretty bad happened.

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

I didn't want to pry.

I appreciate that.

Look... [clears throat] ...you know,

I know that you're only just passing through,

but Edgewater's a... it's a special town.

You know, it's a good place to heal.

It healed me.

Well, that would've been a very convincing pitch

if I hadn't just watched a hole swallow

half of your Main Street.

[snorts]

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. That... - I have no idea how long

it's gonna take to fix it. So...

[exhales] Cheers.

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

[snorts]

Everybody... circle up.

Three Rock!

Come on.

[exhales]

All right.

First...

...the 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.

SHARON: It's not coming.

[firefighters murmuring]

I'm sorry I wasn't here.

I...

I came as soon as I heard.

MANNY: 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.

[Manny groans]

[firefighters murmuring]

So we're on our own.

Maybe not.

We saw Edgewater step up today.

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 itself.

JAKE: You know, a VFD could handle

a lot of the smaller calls

and backstop us on the bigger ones. I...

I like it.

Yeah. Me, too.

Look, I... [sighs]

I don't mean to be a skeptic,

all right, but, I mean,

pulling volunteers from a crowd, that's one thing.

But getting folks to leave their families at 2:00 a.m.

to fight a fire for free, that's...

that's another thing, Bode. I don't see it happening.

I think you're wrong about that.

I believe in the people of Edgewater.

And if you're okay with it, I...

I'm happy to run with this, get it going.

I respect your hustle, buddy, I do.

All right.

All right. All right.

- I tell you what-- - [gunshots]

[yelping]

[Jake grunts]

EVE: Jake!

Everybody down! Everybody-- everybody down!

Hey--

[grunts]

MANNY: Everybody down!

[gunshots continue]

Greencrest, Battalion 1508!

We're taking gunfire. I repeat, shots fired.

Shots fired. We got firefighters down.

- Firefighters down! - [gunshot]
