Original subtitles

- Jake! - I need Dr. Thurston.

- Stay awake, bro. - Hold on, Jake. We got you.

Where's the doc?

Hang in there, hang in there.

Camille!

Manny?

Bullet hit the helmet, knocked him down.

I think there's a fragment in the wound.

Pupils reactive,

pulse is tachycardic.

Jake, can you hear me?

- Am I shot? - We're finding out.

We need to get some X-rays before we can

- figure anything out. - This never should've happened.

- It never should've happened. - Manny, you're not helping.

Give me the room.

Hang in there, Jake.

Seriously, you're not gonna uncuff him?

I mean, what is he gonna do, Palmer?

He got shot in the leg.

CDCR policy. You know that.

I heard the shots before Bode shielded me.

And I... but I did see a gray truck speeding away.

I... Who is shooting at us?

We're not getting shot at.

My nephew is... Angel...

and I warned you about him.

You have a nephew named Angel

- at Three Rock? - Yes.

Yeah, it was news to all of us.

And you don't know that, Manny.

Angel's got enemies, Eve, and now that he's

out in the open, they can get to him.

It's prison politics.

Okay, well, didn't an angry man

storm Smokey's this morning,

blaming you and 42 for burning down his mama's house?

That's not what this is. I'm telling you...

First time I'm even hearing about this.

- You keep blaming Angel. - Sharon?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Where is he?

He's with... with Camille.

Right now. She's evaluating him,

so maybe if you...

- No, I-I want to see my husband. - If you could just...

Jake?

Violet.

Hey. I'm okay.

Is he?

Must be a sliver of fiberglass.

The bullet ricocheted off your helmet,

saved your life.

Oh, thank God.

Yeah, you see, babe?

Look, I'm all good.

We just got to take a couple of tests, but...

then we'll go home and take yours.

Okay, Jake.

This is gonna be like taking out

the biggest splinter you've ever had in your life.

Just in my head.

I said Angel was trouble.

And if you would've just listened to me...

No, h-he delivered out there, Manny, big time.

Of course, Eve. He knows the game. He wants out early.

- Hey. - Jake's gonna be okay.

Oh, thank God.

Okay, okay. You two,

let's stop speculating on who's responsible, okay?

I will call Mickey.

I will circle up with the sheriff's station.

Circle up with your crews,

because we have to get ready for the next call,

and if we know one thing, we know there's

going to be a next call.

We've hardly been able to respond

to all the calls as it is

these past few weeks.

So we need more hands on deck,

especially if we're gonna be down Jake.

Yeah, I know, Bode, but, I mean, what?

We can't just pull firefighters out of thin air.

We got to pull 'em from somewhere.

Bartender called, said some out-of-towner

was putting shots on my tab.

Well, it's the least you could do after my day

of services rendered.

Please tell me nobody died.

Nobody died.

I'll drink to that.

Can I have another one, please?

- Here you go. - Thank you.

After a night like this, I got to drink more.

All right.

Then I got to cut you off.

I'm not driving.

My car is wrecked, remember?

I'll be on the first bus out of town.

I was kind of hoping that maybe you'd stick around for a bit.

Least till your car gets out of the shop.

Sinkholes, flying manholes.

I draw the line at bullet holes.

Cops catch who did it?

Sheriff's office is working on it.

Well, good luck to them and good luck to you.

Can't say it's been fun.

You know what? I don't believe you.

Are you calling me a liar?

I'm calling you a firefighter.

I saw you come alive out there.

And whatever went down on the job in Philly,

you can't deny that you love firefighting.

You sound like a life coach.

Help me launch our volunteer crew.

What are you, delusional?

I'm desperate. So is my town.

Edgewater needs an elite firefighter like you.

So you think I should stick around here in Sinkhole-Ville

to not get paid to do something that I used to get paid to do

and swore that I would never do again?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

The fries here are very good, but I'm out.

You're gonna need a place to crash.

Next bus isn't till morning.

All right, so the bullet was a through-and-through.

So that means that Ben is gonna

come back to camp after he's discharged.

Any idea who did this?

You asking Cap or asking me?

Hey, Angel, I do need to know.

Are you in any real danger being here?

Manny, what the hell are you doing?

He knows.

Where's it at?

- What? - In here?

Where's what, my arsenal of weapons?

Manny!

Your cell phone. I know you got a burner.

Some of your enemies took a shot at you,

and you're gonna use this so you can call your homeys

on the outside to get shots fired on them,

- but I'm stopping you, Angel! - No.

- And I'm stopping you. - Eve!

Where is it?

The only person gunning for me is this fool.

Three Rock, give us the room.

Now! Get out now!

Okay, so Angel's not the liability.

You are.

He's staying at camp. You can stay out.

Effective immediately,

we'll escort you on your calls

until we catch the suspect.

"Until" is not gonna cut it.

Is there any chance this is about Manny's nephew?

Unlikely.

The gang units from Drake County to Cribb Valley

are saying there's no chatter about Angel whatsoever.

Okay, and what about the local guy who's angry at 42?

Hayden Moffitt, combat vet.

He's had a string of arrests since his return home.

Open container, bar fight at Pinkston's,

and brandishing a firearm in a road rage incident.

I remember the Moffitts.

Shelly has two boys.

They are rough around the edges,

but shooting us over losing their house?

Well, that's not all they lost.

Shelly died in the hospital during Founders' Day.

Smoke inhalation from the fire.

This is awful.

Oh, God, so they could be blaming us

for the loss of their mom, too.

Sheriff.

We served that warrant at Hayden's apartment.

No sign of him.

His gun safe's empty, and his truck's gone.

A gray truck?

'Cause I said it was a gray truck.

I know, Sharon. We're on it.

Are you? Because I think you would have him already.

Thank you.

We are doing our job.

I know it's a lot to come back to

after a romantic bike trip.

Are you shaming me for having a vacation?

No, you deserve it, but do not misplace your guilt

on me and my department.

- Hey. - Hi.

You sure you're up for this?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm ready.

Okay, so two lines is pregnant, right?

Whatever the result is, I'm just...

I'm happy that we have tonight and tomorrow

to be together and you can recover.

What?

Well, I'm going to work tomorrow.

You just got shot in the head.

I...

I got shot in the helmet.

Plus, I...

Look, my crew, they need me.

This isn't really a decision

that you can just make unilaterally.

And now you sound like a lawyer.

And you're sounding like a jerk.

Jake, we are a couple.

We need to discuss this and make a decision together.

Okay, I'm sorry, but my duty is not up for discussion.

Okay.

It's one line.

All right, I'm gonna get some sleep.

My shift starts at 7:00.

I'm sleeping in the other room.

Violet.

Still can't believe this happened.

I can.

I got to get out of here.

What's your deal, really?

You would not get it.

I get keeping secrets.

Keep stuffing 'em down, they'll end up eating you alive.

So you're not a life coach.

You're a philosopher.

I'm an ex-con, an addict.

I know what it looks like when somebody's on the run.

Fine.

I'm not on a road trip.

And those gunshots...

they were for me.

Okay, the ECSO is conducting

a manhunt for Hayden Moffitt,

and we will be wearing these until he's in custody.

They 100% sure he's the guy?

I'm not. Listen, if we get called out on incident today,

I need our heads on a swivel, all right?

Copy that.

Yo.

What's with Goldilocks sleeping on the couch?

It's CJ. She had a rough night.

So did you, bro. Shouldn't you be taking a few days off?

Hey, yo, come on, now, B. You of all people should know

that I am too thickheaded

for a bullet to pierce this skull.

Besides, I couldn't leave the crew hanging.

So, you've been cleared for work?

Medically, yes.

What other kind of clearance is there?

Well, the wife's not too happy.

Most important clearance.

Hey.

It's a bird, it's a plane...

Hey. And I see you finally got my name right.

Good to have you back, bro.

Look at that, freshly buffed.

Need to get shot more.

I'm joking. I'm joking.

What, no goodbye?

You seemed busy.

I was. Looking you up online.

Well, that seems stalkerish.

You blew the whistle on your old station house.

And that's why you think those gunshots were meant for you.

Look, I was drunk last night.

Okay? I was drunk.

I was talking nonsense.

Actually, it... it makes a lot of sense.

Makes a lot of sense why you fled across country,

why you-you love firefighting but you hate firefighters.

Station 42.

Vegetation fire.

2501 Edge Cliff Valley Road.

You got to go.

And I have a bus to catch.

If you really are the target,

you'll be a lot safer with us today.

We're riding with a deputy escort,

and I already ran it by my chief.

You ran what by your chief?

Who, by the way... I saw the name on the locker.

Is your chief your mom?

You're coming for a ride-along with us.

And yeah, yes, she is.

Oh, so, you're all related up here.

More than you know.

Y-You can either come with us and tell me

the rest of the story, or you can...

you can tell the sheriff, who's my aunt.

Oh, of course she is. Yeah.

Beat you to it, my boy.

Next is First Saw, then head of this crew.

I'm coming for your spot.

Yeah, from what I could see, your uncle's coming for yours.

- Only way I'm leaving is on parole. - Yuh-

All right, hold up, gentlemen.

The ECSO just told me

that they don't have enough Kevlar to go around,

which means that I'm calling D.C. Leone

and we're gonna sit this one out.

Wait, we getting benched 'cause of no Kevlar

or 'cause Chief Perez is on one about me?

No, there is a shooter who's on one,

who's targeting firefighters.

All right, well, me, I'm not looking to get shot.

If Ben got hit a few inches higher,

he'd be down a nut sack, so...

- You already are, little boy. - Hey.

Show your First Saw some respect.

It's no disrespect, but most of us?

We're used to getting shot at.

Yeah, and shouldn't be, 'cause that's not normal.

Neither is 40-mile-per-hour wind with ten percent humidity

at this time of year, right?

Those winds start gusting northeast?

Might be cooked.

How do you know about that?

Weather report.

It could rip into town if we not out there

holding it down, no?

I'm willing to take that risk, Cap.

Okay. All right, listen up.

This assignment is not mandatory.

So, if you guys want to sit it out, that is okay.

- You hear that? - Stay home.

What are you doing now, Cap?

Look, if you guys aren't gonna be in Kevlar,

I won't be, either.

Line 'em up.

Come on, boys, lace 'em up, let's go!

- Let's go now. - One, two...

- Three Rock! - Let's go, boys!

Look, Sharon, if you're not gonna transfer Angel,

at least bench him.

Manny, if I'm gonna bench anyone,

it's gonna be you.

Mickey's not even considering him.

Neither am I. I've read the kid's file.

He took college classes, he took anger management,

which you might need a refresher on.

You know what's not in his file, Sharon?

Did you know that he's next in line

to run an entire barrio in San Diego?

Did you know that?

The barrio that my brother Ricardo is running

from inside a prison cell right now.

Bet that wasn't in the file, was it?

Okay, so, you're gonna judge the nephew

by the crimes of the father?

Angel is... he's my brother's son.

Just like Bode followed in Vince's footsteps.

Okay, what if he's trying to follow in your footsteps?

Yeah, right. I lost that battle a long time ago, man.

All these years, never a mention of a nephew

or a brother.

I had to make a clean break, Sharon.

And you guys became my family.

All right, then, I say this not just as an order.

Y-you got to stay away from Angel.

Sharon, you don't know the damn kid...

Manny, drop it!

I'm serious. You need somebody to fixate on, what about Jake?

Have you even checked in with your captain?

Yep. Our trucks will never get up that road,

but I have Three Rock going up there to cut line on the cliff.

They better get some line punched in fast, otherwise,

that fire's gonna make a run straight to those homes.

We better hike quick, then.

- Let's go. - Okay, I'm gonna set up ICP,

see if I can get you some aircraft going.

Hey. Ride-along.

You good to make that two-mile hike straight up?

Light work, Superman.

You know the Comcast building in Philly?

I used to climb 60 flights of stairs without breaking a sweat.

Great. Well, that's city firefighting.

B, this ain't a sinkhole.

Your prospect can't be slowing us down.

If I thought she was a liability,

she wouldn't be out here.

I'm no Goldilocks, okay?

I'm gonna body that trail like a billy goat.

Jake's right. Wildland is a different animal.

And you might want to tighten up those laces, too, Philly Goat.

Let's go.

Wildland's a marathon, not a sprint.

This is a marathon and a sprint.

Biggest difference between city and wild land?

Your fires have an address, ours have a zip code.

You say that like I'm sticking around.

I agreed to one ride-along.

You agreed to tell me the whole story.

My battalion chief...

was my mentor.

I found out that him and the rest of my crew

were taking kickbacks

to cover up building code safety violations.

He asked me if I wanted in, I said no.

And...

that's when the threats started.

Threats are one thing, attempted murder's another.

- You think I'm paranoid? - I'm just saying,

how could they track you all the way to Edgewater?

You don't know my crew.

And you don't know me.

Hey. Check in real quick?

Yeah.

All right, winds are picking up.

Head of the fire's shifting east.

Not talking about the fire, Jake.

Getting shot at can really mess with your head.

I'm good.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep saying that.

At the hospital, at the station.

But you know, "Superman," that's just a nickname, right?

Okay, well, I'm not trying, I'm being.

So, can we stop checking in on each other,

and put out a damn fire?

All right, all right.

Oh, Hank, I'm so glad it's you out here.

Do you have any update on Hayden's truck?

No luck so far.

Mickey's issued a BOLO.

In the meantime,

I'm trying his younger brother Bryce.

- Really? - Yeah.

Goes straight to voicemail.

Wait, you guys know each other?

We trained jiujitsu.

Nice, quiet dude.

I discovered he was basically living at the gym.

Said it was safer than living with his brother at home.

Hank?

Are those...

- Tire tracks. - Think you can tell Mickey

she can cancel the BOLO.

Once we're finished cutting a line here,

we're gonna head up...

Damn, that's a lot of bees.

It's like a horror movie.

Just like back in elementary school, bro.

Don't bother them, they won't bother you.

- How's that cramp, my boy? - What cramp?

The one making it hard for you to work that saw.

Might have to hand it over.

I'm not your boy, and I'm not afraid of you.

You should be.

You all should be.

Things y'all heard about me?

Are what, Angel?

What y'all talking about?

Nothing. He's pressing me, Cap.

Come here. No, don't swing that. Come here.

Are you playing me?

'Cause you told me you were gonna do good time.

I am.

I'm trying to kick ass so I can parole as soon as possible.

Ain't that the point of the program?

Yeah. That's the whole point.

- And you're... - Cliff I.C.

We made access to the fire...

but it looks like we have multiple points of ignition.

Copy that. Get back to work.

Multiple ignition points.

I did not know wildfires could pop off like that.

Lightning strikes can do it.

Yeah, but B, there's been no reports of lightning.

Someone set these.

You think someone lured us here?

Just keep your head on a swivel, like I said, all right?

Clear.

There's a note.

"You let our house burn down and you let our mom die.

It's only right that I settle the score."

Sheriff One. Edward Twelve.

We have positive I.D. on Hayden's truck.

Three Rock, 42.

Hayden Moffitt is up there. Take cover.

Everyone, get down!

Bode!

1591. Emergency traffic.

Bode is down.

Are you okay?

Hit the trauma plate.

The vest did its job.

This fire's still ripping.

Sheriff One. Edward Twelve.

Shots fired at Edge Cliff Valley.

All units report. I need backup now.

Battalion 1508. Cliff I.C.,

do you have an update on Firefighter Leone?

Jake, Manny, answer.

Is Bode okay?

I'm all right!

These fires aren't.

I need you to get out of there.

I am ordering you to retreat.

If we don't get water on that left flank,

it's gonna rip past Three Rock.

I'm talking torched homes.

Property never takes priority over lives, Jake.

Our lives. We cannot fight this fire under fire.

Unless we start another one.

Three fires aren't enough for you?

Chief, we can start a burn to create a smoke screen.

Block Hayden's view on us while we attack the main fire.

Manny?

Manny, I like it.

Cliff I.C. Battalion 1508.

We need to get hoses on this fire,

but once that water drop is here, we're out.

Copy 1508.

You were right.

My crew wasn't after me.

Well, I was wrong about you being safer with us.

I'm sorry that I dragged you up here.

We're gonna get you out.

You know what?

I didn't get these blisters for nothing.

I'm sticking this out.

All right, Philly Goat.

Let's burn some stuff.

Chief Leone, Sheriff Fox is not gonna want you going up there.

That water drop won't be here for another 45 minutes.

Okay, then, I will call it in to Sheriff Fox.

Okay, and if you do, you know what she's gonna say?

She's gonna make us wait.

And if those firefighters die up there,

we're both gonna have to live with that.

Reach into my bag. I got fusees in there.

Keep pushing it all in the middle.

Manny.

Manny?

Hey, that was close!

Too close.

Manny, you got it. You good?

I'm good.

- Nice, nice. - All right.

All right, let's get the hoses on it.

- Let's go. - Move, move, move, move.

- Let's get these spot fires out. - Come on, guys, move, move.

- Let's go. - Come on.

This is our window.

50 yards, Three Rock!

That's 50 yards of us being sitting ducks.

Relax. He's not shooting at us.

Come on, you're not scared?

- I ain't scared of nothing, homie. - Oh, yeah?

'Cause I saw you pretty freaked out by that beehive.

Hey, Chief. I got eyes on Hayden.

He's on the northeast ridge.

Copy. Hang in there.

Been on plenty of foot chases,

just not with smoke and ash in my eyes.

Respect.

Okay, looks like this is where the trail ends.

I thought you said you knew your way up, Chief.

I do. So does he.

Not exactly tire tracks.

Long shot.

We can tie off these hose streams,

direct them towards the fire.

Like a wild land sprinkler system.

Exactly.

Then we get the hell out of here and wait for that water drop.

Hey, yo, Chief, we need more cover.

- Jake! - Jake!

- Jake! - He can't hear you.

Hey, get down.

Hey, eyes on me.

Look at me. Eyes on me, okay?

Listen to the sound of my voice.

It's okay to be scared.

You got this.

Fear is your friend.

Fear will keep you alive. Trust me, I know.

It's okay. Let's get you up.

Hey, Chief!

We're still taking heavy fire!

What's the ETA on that water drop?

Still waiting. Retreat when you can.

Chief, take cover. Sheriff's department!

Hayden Moffitt, come out, slowly.

Where's your rifle?

I'm not the shooter.

All right, 25 more yards. Let's go, gentlemen.

Get in the buggy!

- Go, go, go! - Come on!

Let's go. Move it.

Let's go!

Move it!

- Come on! - Get into the buggy.

Get in, get in.

Everybody, get down!

Everybody down!

He took out our tires.

We're taking fire! We're taking fire!

Come on, let's move!

Move, move.

- Stay low. - Come on.

Go, go, go.

Where we gonna go?

We're gonna take cover under the trees.

Come on. Go.

Hey, come on.

Talk to us.

- Who is shooting at my people? - Whoa.

It's my younger brother Bryce.

Bryce was a nice, quiet kid.

You bullied him into it, didn't you?

When I saw that he took my rifle and my truck,

- I came out here to try to stop him. - Why?

Why wouldn't you just call 911?

Last time I did that, you were too late.

We lost our house.

Our mom.

Please.

You have to spare my brother's life.

Manny!

Three Rock needs help.

They've got no Kevlar and hardly any cover.

Damn it.

That shooter lured us up here, Bode.

And he's trying to lure us to them

so he can pick us off on the way.

Three Rock,

keep crawling!

- Oh, hell no. - Angel, move!

I'm not going over there.

- Angel, get down! - You're gonna get shot!

Then I get shot.

What's his deal, Cap?

Angel's allergic to bees.

Cliff I.C., I got a man down and a swarm of bees.

When he was a little kid,

he was stung in the back of the neck by a bee,

Went into anaphylactic shock.

Hey, Eve. Eve, do you have an EpiPen up there?

No, it's all on the buggy.

I'm a little pinned down right now!

Hey, I-I've got an EpiPen in my first aid pack.

His throat's gonna close up.

Angel's not gonna be able to breathe.

Cliff I.C. Battalion 1508.

Bode and I will assist Three Rock.

Engine 1591 is your new point of contact.

How about you, Philly Goat?

You got their backs, I got yours. Go.

Bode.

- Manny, you good? - Yeah.

Hayden moved up to the northwest ridge.

Hayden is not the shooter.

Hayden not the shooter.

It's his younger brother Bryce.

Water drop's ten minutes out.

You sure you're good?

- Yeah, let's go, let's go. - All right, come on.

Hank, what's the status with SWAT?

They're at the base of the mountain.

A helicopter's en route.

Chief Leone, I am begging you,

please ask them to spare Bryce's life.

I have zero empathy for mass shooters.

Your brother needs to be stopped.

I do have sympathy for the loss of your house and your mom,

which is why I'm heading up there.

That is a no go, Chief.

This one, I got to call in. Adam One.

- Edward Twelve. - Go for Adam One.

Mickey, it's Sharon.

Your SWAT team is gonna take too long to get up the mountain,

- so I'm going. - Sharon,

don't be reckless.

Do not go up there.

That's an order.

Orders you can give to deputies,

but not me.

Hank, stop her.

Adam One.

You know your sister.

Short of using a Taser...

Your hateful words

are what got your brother to pick up that gun.

So, now we're gonna see if your big mouth

can talk him out of using it.

Jake,

what's your status?

We're losing water pressure here, Chief.

And these two other fires are picking up.

Let's go.

- Damn it. - Hey!

Here, I can help you.

You don't have to live up to that nickname.

You don't have to be a superhero,

just be a firefighter.

- Yeah, I know how to be one of those. - So do I,

so let me have your back.

Hey, look, I'm not too good at leaning on other people.

But I'll take you up on that one.

Good.

So, what's the plan, Cap?

The shooter lit these fires to keep us apart.

So, we bring them together.

- How do we do that? - Use fusees

on intervening space.

Those fires will create an upward draft to draw it north.

With nothing left to burn...

it all goes out.

Guess Bode's not the only one with the wild land tricks.

Eve, report.

Can't talk right now, and neither can Angel.

Look, I need that EpiPen,

or he's gonna go into cardiac arrest.

Hey, hey, hey.

How many bee stings?

There too many to count.

One EpiPen may not be enough.

Now, Tex, what are you doing?

Going to the buggy, Cap, to get the other EpiPen.

There's no EpiPens for gunshots.

His pulse is still thready.

We need that damn medicine.

Stay with us, stay with us.

- I see you, First Saw. - Good stuff.

Stay with us, stay with us.

Damn it, Angel, why didn't you tell her

you were allergic to bees? You could've died.

Oh, so, now you care?

Angel.

I'm Bode. Here's the deal.

We got to move back by those trees to get cover.

No, I don't mess with bees.

I don't mess with bullets, either, but...

we're gonna have to face both of them together.

- Oh, God. - Let's go.

Oh, God. No...

I.C., we need that damn shooter taken out now!

Bryce!

Don't do this!

It's too late!

Take cover!

Come here.

He missed us on purpose.

He wants me to return fire and drop him.

Bryce, it's Hank Iglesias.

You remember me? I remember you.

This is not you, man.

Just end this!

This is the sheriff's department.

Put down your weapon!

Jake, what's your status?

You still need this water drop?

Negative, Chief.

These fires are gonna burn each other out.

Eve, Manny, status?

We're still taking fire.

We need SWAT, Chief.

I'm working on it.

Cal Fire Tanker 37.

Your grid coordinates are as follows...

300 yards north

of 39.5528 north,

11.2784 west.

Copy that, Chief.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

Great work, Three Rock. Thank you.

Going rogue up the mountain

without getting the green light from Aunt Mickey?

Had to protect my crew.

Hey, Angel.

Come on, let's get you up.

Now you want to be all family?

I have to say, eating and drinking on your tab?

I could get used to this.

Does this mean I can convince you to stay?

Listen...

I think if you knew the whole truth

about what happened in Philly, that you might not want me to.

I'm damaged goods, bro.

Try me.

You do know that nothing was gonna prevent me

from climbing up that mountain today.

I'll give you this, though.

You get the KO for that water drop.

Whoo.

What's wrong?

You were right about my guilt.

Except it's not misplaced anymore.

Look, I'm glad you went on that trip.

I shouldn't have said anything.

Don't think I wasn't saying it in my own head all day.

I should've been here.

For the Moffitts' house fire, for Founders' Day,

for the sinkhole, for everything.

Sharon, we can't put this whole town on our shoulders.

Who else is going to?

Hey. Baby.

You awake?

Silent treatment. I get it.

I basically gave you one last night

when you wanted to talk, so...

You had a lot to say, actually.

That you didn't want to have a discussion.

That you're gonna make your own decisions.

I didn't want to admit that I was scared.

About being a dad.

And about being shot at.

And that if I didn't go back to work...

soon, I-I might

never go back at all.

Why keep that from me?

Because I want to be strong.

All the time.

And especially in your eyes.

Baby.

That's not strong to me.

That's...

This is strong.

You being you with me.

Come here.

This is the truth.

We got called to a town house fire.

And my chief sent me into a stairwell fully knowing

that the building had serious violations

and that it was already compromised.

It was compromised by the fire.

He wanted to make it look like you died in the line of duty.

I...

I used my axe...

to break through the stairwell wall.

I don't know what came over me in there. It was...

fear, I guess?

It just took over, and it was like...

Well, it got me out. It saved my life.

But it really messed with my head.

It makes sense why you vowed to never be on the job ever again.

Yeah.

I guess I might break my vow.

You're killing me here.

Are you gonna help me launch

this volunteer fire department or what?

Yeah, okay.

Don't get too excited, though.

I will stay until my car is out the shop,

and then I'm out.

Okay.

Okay.

And that's my brother.

Ricardo.

Same age Angel is now.

My God.

They're like the same person.

Big bro was my hero.

Didn't just teach me how to steal cars.

Taught me how to swim, which I passed on to Gabriela.

How can the same brother

turn into a ruthless killer doing life?

I can't imagine how confusing that must be for you.

I'll tell you one thing.

If I hadn't left...

broke off from the family, I'd be one, too.

No, I don't, I don't believe that, Manny. I don't.

It's nice out, right?

I haven't seen the night sky in years.

I used to draw the constellations

on the ceiling of my cell.

Hey, look.

Orion's Belt.

You know, what you said up on that mountain?

Listen, you can try to get out of here

as fast as you can, but that's not the point.

Point is to change,

so that you don't have to do this again.

So, slow down.

Take in these stars.

I don't know.

Be 23.

Thanks, Cap. I appreciate it.

Good night, Angel.

Night, Cap.

He wants to talk to you.

Hey, Pop.
