Previously on Fire Country... Come on, take my hand.
Bode! Come on! Dad!
Oh, no, no, no, Bode!
Gabriela, what're you doing?
No!
I'm alive? You better be, after I jumped after you.
You jumped? To save me?
Bode. Let's get him some help.
Yo, we need to talk. About?
You and Bode.
I promised her I would be out for her tenth birthday.
Charlie, you're not going back to prison.
Sitting on a transplant list
could take up to ten years,
so we need to take action now.
I'm not even transplant eligible.
I'll talk to your specialist, and if she says to come down
for treatments, I'll fly down and do them.
He legally changed his last name
to hide from us. Did you know that?
Okay, gentlemen, let's get ready to do
our training with Station 42.
♪ The moment came and went ♪
♪ My darlin', we're still ♪
♪ Here while the thunder's storming ♪
♪ Didn't work ♪
♪ Lord knows we tried ♪
♪ I'm looking in... ♪
The thing nobody prepares you for,
when your kid's incarcerated,
is the waiting.
Can't give him a hug when we want to,
we can't even yell at him when we want to.
Don't I know it.
After we found Bode in the woods,
he got rushed away so quick,
I-I didn't get a chance to tell him that...
he made me really proud out there.
Tell him today, Vince.
Get your hopes up...
Oh, my God, my lab results posted to that robot doctor app
that Lilly made me download.
And? They look good.
My creatinine levels are down.
Oh.
She's calling. Okay.
And then what if I just got my hopes up for nothing?
Why don't you just pick it up before I do.
Lilly, do these, um, numbers
mean what I think they mean?
Thank you.
I just became transplant eligible.
Oh...
How was your wellness check?
Oh, patient's fine,
but I did get into a fight
with barbwire and lost.
Ouch.
You, uh, hurried off this morning
pretty fast.
I jogged here, got my blood pumping
for my first day back since I've been released.
Are you sure it's not because
you're avoiding talking about Bode
coming into the station to train?
There is nothing left to talk about.
Okay?
Bode called the hospital
to make sure that I didn't die saving him.
You and him are slowly remembering
that you were like brothers,
and we are one big Cal Fire family together.
Right?
You... you know what?
For a first-year, you really have
the camaraderie thing down pat.
When I saw you jump...
I-I-I don't know, I just...
Look, all I saw was you jumping for Bode.
Baby, can we please just not open up
this can of worms right now.
Listen, listen, what I'm trying to say is that...
What I should've seen was you.
Gabs, your bravery,
your dedication, your-your talent.
Look, I've said a lot of things before,
I just wanted to make sure you heard me say that, too.
We'll finish unpacking the rest of my stuff tonight,
when we go home together.
As small-business owners, learning to use
a fire extinguisher in the moment that you need one
is, obviously, not ideal, so
we're gonna start a controlled fire today,
teach you all how to put it out.
Gabs, would you like the honors?
Mm-hmm.
Hey, Donovan,
are you gonna join us?
Hey, hey, I got him.
Hey.
Do me a favor?
No more falling off of bridges,
at least for today, okay?
Must be weird being back in the station.
Not as weird as having you as my teacher for the day.
I'm-a kick your butt.
I thought it was just fire apparatus tool safety.
Ooh, you gonna
find out today.
Let me go set up.
You have four new messages.
Manny Perez, your auto insurance
is two months behind.
Please give us a call back
as soon as you receive this message.
This is Humboldt Mutual Bank calling to see how
we can help your overdue credit card payments.
Please give us a call back at this number.
1-800...
All right, everybody, listen up.
Got an announcement to make.
Our very own Charlie
paroles on early release today at noon.
Yes, sir!
Two more hours with you clowns,
but who's counting?
All of us, man. We're all counting.
You know, if Charlie had stayed in prison,
he'd still have six months left on his sentence,
but because he worked this program,
he gets to go home early to his family today, huh.
Charlie! Blazing a trail!
Come on, man, get out of here already, will you.
All right, y'all,
I hate to bore you on your last day,
but today we train in routine safety protocol during a fire.
Should be useful,
since my application to Cal Fire is officially in.
Hey, hey, hey, nothing funny
about one of us doing what we already doing,
but on the outside,
for more pay.
More chances to help people.
It's difficult to try and get your record expunged
to qualify, but
Cal Fire will be lucky to have you, Charlie.
Yup.
That means a lot,
coming from the heir to the Leone fire legacy.
I didn't know they took geriatrics.
I got some geriatric right here.
- All right. - Hey, hey, hey.
H-Hold up, though. Let's all show Eve
how we like to start our day.
You ready?
One, two!
Three Rock! Let's go.
I like this energy!
It's open.
Mrs. Leone?
Cara.
You're just swinging by
your ex-boyfriend's mom's house on a whim?
I brought you soup.
Aw, I have kidney disease, not the flu.
I'm transplant eligible now.
Honestly, I was next door
getting my mom's house ready to sell,
and I had to do something with my hands
other than cry over old photos.
And you always loved her soup.
I did. Thank you.
You can put it right there. Me and your mom used to joke
all the time that we were raising Romeo and Juliet
with how often you and Bode would sneak out
on school nights.
You knew about that?
Moms see everything, Cara.
I'll see you around, Mrs. L.
So taking care of your chain saw can save you
a huge amount of time in the field.
Chain is nice and tight,
as it should be, Charlie.
This is excellent maintenance.
Better than most of my first-years.
I mean, you're a natural.
Yo, Charlie, what's the first thing
you're gonna do when you get out?
In-N-Out?
Movies? What?
Hug my grandkids.
Ha-ha, that's my man.
Okay, Grandpa,
what're you gonna miss most about fire camp?
Is it me? Say it's me.
Bode's family soap opera.
Whoo!
The Bode and The Beautiful.
Seriously?
No.
Damn, that crash sounded nasty.
Must've downed a power line.
Power's out.
Uh, generator will be up in a minute, folks,
- don't worry. - Station 42,
a main power line was downed in your area. And there it is.
A civilian called in a box truck crash
just outside your station.
Cap, I'm going to assess.
That's the box truck!
Everybody, get down now!
If you need assistance,
raise your hand, I'll come to you.
All right, everybody, if you can walk, follow this firefighter
out now.
This dude almost killed us. What is he, drunk?
Is anyone hurt? You guys okay? I'm good.
Chief, I have a box truck that just crashed into Bay 1.
The first injury I see is the driver. Sir.
Guys, let's stabilize this vehicle for an extrication.
All right.
Is my skin peeling off?
It's okay. I'll take care of you.
I got you.
Greencrest, this is Station 42 reporting an MCI.
Got a vehicle crashed into Bay 1.
Fire in the app bay.
Copy that, Chief...
Whoa, whoa, we got you, we got you.
Okay. Airway is clear.
Pulse is rapid but weak. Possible cardiac event.
Could you please turn off your engine, sir.
I need to finish my route.
Not today, buddy. Collar bone's broken.
We got fire in Bay 3.
Can you handle the crash?
Yes, we got it.
I need a C-collar!
Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, you're not thinking straight.
Take it out of gear. Take it out of gear. He might back up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Freddy, Freddy, get out of there. Move.
What gives? Does this guy hate firefighters?
Hey. What's your... Hey, hey, hey, what's your name?
What's your name? What's your name?
It's... Daniel.
Daniel. Daniel, I'm Manny.
When's the last time you slept?
No time to sleep. I... I need the O.T.
Hey, yeah, I understand that, bro,
but you got to break this cycle before someone else gets hurt,
someone other than yourself.
Come on, man, before it's too late.
That's good, man. That's good.
Sprinklers aren't engaging.
Truck must've hit the riser.
If Manny's got the crash, could you...
I'll run you hoses. Read my mind.
You good? Yeah. Yeah.
Freddy, Bode, Lonnegan, everyone, follow Eve's lead
on the hoses, go.
And bring me the damn C-collar.
On it, Cap!
Do you have an ETA on when the power will be back?
I need my dialysis machine
up and running and the air conditioning.
Not as of now, ma'am.
Mrs. Leone? Cara?
It's okay, I'm fine.
But I don't think I am.
Oh, my God.
Sit down.
The power went out, then when it came back on,
it-it smelled like the-the appliances were frying,
and the outlet was smoking, and I went
to remove my computer cord,
and it whipped around and...
It's okay. You have an electrical burn,
likely from the power surge going through a bad cord.
I told my mom a million times to redo that old wiring.
Yeah, you and Vince both.
Oh, come on.
Jake, help me move this.
We got to get the hose through.
We're gonna have to cut the wire.
Yeah, bolt cutters. Yeah.
No, no, just twist the coupling,
not-not the hose itself. Oh, oh, got it.
That's good.
Guys, help me get this cage out of here.
Got to get the nozzle through.
We've still got fire and running out of extinguishers.
Come on.
Help.
Whoa. Whoa.
Boys, can you hear me?
A little help over here! Charlie.
- What is it? - Hey, Bode,
what's happening?
Our guy Charlie's pinned underneath the engine.
Hey, Eve!
Eve! Eve!
Damn engine lurched.
Need some help!
Get it off me.
Get it off me!
It's gonna be okay. We're gonna get you out.
Right?
Get it off.
Nice and slow, okay?
I got you.
There we go.
I'm sorry about all this.
I work three jobs,
and it's still not enough.
It's embarrassing.
Well, take it from me, there are worse ways to make ends meet.
I might need a hospital.
I'm working on it, buddy.
Civilians are safe in triage. Just waiting on transport.
How's the fire?
Well, it's still going, and we're down
to two extinguishers.
Trying to get a hose through here.
Oh, and get an update on 58's ambulances.
On it.
See? This is exactly why I keep telling the board
we need our own ambulances. Got a lot of injuries here.
Guys, recheck the chase cribbing.
Need it stable to free Charlie.
Lift an inch, crib an inch. Hey, Charlie.
It's like a rite of passage.
Passage to what? Retirement?
If you want it to be.
But I thought you wanted to be a firefighter.
Hey, Bode, go help Freddy with the chase cribbing.
Hey. He's supposed to be out in less than two hours.
He's so close.
And the damn engine falls on him.
We're gonna get this off him. For what?
So he can leave here less whole
than when he got locked up? No, Freddy.
You got that wrong.
Whatever condition Charlie leaves here in,
he's a hero.
You hear that?
We can do this faster, for Charlie.
Yes, an electrical burn.
Okay, we are very backed up today, ma'am.
What's the patient's condition?
Patient is conscious and stable. Hurry!
I didn't know 911 could put you on hold for seven minutes.
The department is completely overwhelmed
with this power outage.
Cara, I'm sorry, this is gonna sting a bit.
Oh!
Are you debriding?
Yes. Superficial?
I would say superficial, yes, with partial thickness.
I see you've taken an interest in first aid.
ER nursing, actually.
Oh, you're following in your mother's footsteps.
That's fabulous, Cara.
Good for you. Thanks.
I heard Bode's at Three Rock.
Yep.
It's not major leagues, but it's a great program.
Mm. It is, yeah.
Edgewater's so lucky to have it.
When do you, um, get into the ER?
I take my boards next week.
I, uh, put nursing on hold when I thought
my future was with Bode.
Thought baseball was gonna take us on the road.
And when we broke up, I was alone,
and I decided to follow my heart,
figured out what I wanted.
I'm excited.
Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm just hot with the A/C off.
Well, you should rest.
You haven't even finished your dialysis.
You want to debride your own electrical burn?
Ooh, even I couldn't do that.
Get some rest, man.
Paid medical leave.
May be a blessing in disguise.
Thank you.
All right, ready to lift?
Let's go.
Yeah.
All right, let's go. We're through.
Here's the line.
Let's keep the hose from kinking
till we change it.
Bode, Freddy. Come.
Position the airbag under the axle.
All right. On it.
Once we lift and crib, we should have
Charlie out in no time, you guys.
All right, couple of these.
Let's turn it.
- Sorry about this, Cap. - Don't do that,
Charlie, you have nothing to apologize for.
We're gonna get you out of here.
Hey, uh, Cap, you okay?
How the hell can an inmate get injured on my watch
and me not be the first one to notice?
Well, that's chaos.
We handled every single situation as it emerged.
It's fine. You've had my guys' back
all day today.
And it was way too much for me to handle on my own.
Thank you.
It's teamwork, Cap. Hey, you know,
I just want you to know that I see you.
You're pulling more than your own weight.
And it's for my guys, and I appreciate that.
I appreciate you.
Come on, guys, we need to get Charlie home.
I miss this house.
Family dinners.
Oh, yeah, you were a frequent flier on Sundays.
Vince's Sunday sauce.
Mm-hmm.
You and me, we used to be close.
Made inappropriate jokes.
You took me to get my IUD when my mom was working.
Oh, yeah.
Now you're polite.
Like I'm anybody else around this town.
I can't stand polite.
Our family's been through a lot.
You're saying we grew apart because of Riley?
No. It was before that.
You dumped Bode pretty quickly
after his injury.
And then he also lost baseball.
All of that led to the pills. That was...
That was hard for a mama to swallow.
Is that what Bode told you?
All right. Come on, hit the seat of this fire.
There it is. Come on, come on.
All right. That should do it.
Good one.
All right, good job.
Gonna be a hell of an overhaul.
Yeah, well, good thing Three Rock's here.
Yeah. We're gonna join 'em.
On the overhaul?
Yeah. You got a problem with that?
No.
No, Bode and I are good.
Good.
Afterwards, we'll cook up a big meal for everybody.
Copy that.
How you doing, Charlie? I'm not going anywhere.
Well, maybe Charlie shouldn't be the only one
applying to Cal Fire.
You thought about joining, Bode?
Charlie's the one getting out today.
It'll be your time soon.
You just gotta plan and prepare.
Yo, goat, we need to make more room to extricate him.
Let's get this thing out of here. Copy, Cap.
What's wrong?
It's wedged.
Well, then, let's inflate the airbag a little bit more.
Let's go.
Come on. Up on blue, buddy. We got this.
Easy on that bag, goat. We just need one more inch.
Glad this is my last day of taking in
that smug mug of yours.
I thought you loved my smile.
I was just being nice.
Brace!
Weight's shifting.
Bode, chase it and stick it. What does that mean?
The rig is unstable. This could slam back down onto Charlie.
More! Go. Go!
Come on, Freddy, put those biceps to work.
We're almost there. Good.
Bode, wedge that chase cribbing.
I got it.
Young blood, is this thing gonna crush me?
We're not gonna let it.
Nearby stations are all backed up.
We're working as fast as we can,
making sure the fire's not extended. How's Charlie?
Airbags are making the rig unstable.
We're working to secure it.
I need the struts, but we can't get to them.
Just keep at it, Eve.
We'll be right over.
Come on.
You're saying Bode dumped you? Yeah.
I was heartbroken.
Baseball had become his whole identity,
and losing it
killed all his confidence.
Because he loved it so much.
I think it's because
Vince loved it.
Oh... Bode just wanted his dad to be proud of him.
Oh...
Baseball was the quickest way to Vince's heart.
I think going for Cal Fire was, um,
was too loaded,
and baseball came naturally to him.
And Vince liked it, too, so...
I can't believe I didn't see this.
Ow. Ow!
Ooh. Cara?
Mm, that's weird.
I have shooting pains up my arm.
The cord didn't hit me there, did it?
I can't see in the back. No.
No, I don't see...
Oh, damn it, Cara, you have an exit wound.
Oh, my God. Okay. Oh...
Cara... That means it crossed the midline.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I'm 29. I can't be having a heart attack.
Ugh! Where is this ambulance?!
Okay, forget it.
I have a 29-year-old female with an electrical burn
and a possible cardiac event,
and an ambulance that should have been here
a long time ago. Send one!
Yes, Chief. You're in the queue,
but we're very backed up.
Okay, stick with me. Mrs. L?
No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, here we go.
Come on, Cara.
Good, good.
The rig's almost stable.
We need a spine board at the ready.
As soon as his leg's free, we slide him out.
My clothes feel wet and cold.
Is that leaking fuel?
We should throw some absorbent on it,
neutralize the threat.
That's not fuel, guys.
Is that... He's bleeding.
He probably has been for a while.
Bode, don't start whispering about me now, too, man.
Hit me with it. Look, Charlie, you're bleeding.
I'm-I'm not sure where it's coming from.
If it's the femoral... Then we work double time.
'Cause Charlie is not bleeding out under our watch
on his last damn hour on my crew.
It's not gonna happen, Eve.
I need my leg
to be a firefighter.
Something for my grandkids
that's not Grandpa the inmate.
Without my leg,
there's no hope.
No, no, Charlie, don't give up hope.
I might not have a choice.
Look, man, life... life will surprise you.
You know, growing up in this station
was the last place that I ever wanted to be.
I-I didn't think that I was worthy
of wearing a Cal Fire uniform.
Hell, I didn't think that I was worthy of being a Leone.
That's my real last name.
My family name.
You know, but...
I finally realized that...
I have a family here at Cal Fire,
whether I deserve one or not, and so do you.
All right? So-so quit talking all that nonsense,
and hang in there.
Hey, where do you want me?
All right, the truck is staunching the bleeding,
so if it's his femoral artery,
he could bleed out in minutes. Yeah.
So we need a tourniquet and packing
the second he gets out, all right?
Yeah. Hey, we got this.
We ain't gonna leave this firefighter behind.
Okay, guys, ready to lift the engine.
Up on blue.
Pupils are equal and reactive.
Come on, Cara, honey. You with me?
Good girl. Yes.
Ahh. Ahh.
You need an AED.
Defibrillator?
That's good. That's really good.
If help ever gets here. Where are the EMTs?
Mrs. L.
Mrs. L... Your hands are clammy.
How's your pulse?
I worry about your condition.
That's... a really good assessment.
You're gonna make an excellent nurse.
Vince. Hey.
I'm here with Cara, from next door.
Cara?
Heartbreaker Cara?
Oh, boy, we're on speakerphone.
Oh. Hi, Cara.
Hi. Cara has an electric burn
with an exit wound, and I just brought her back
from a cardiac arrest.
Wait, you did CPR?
Sharon, that... that's strenuous.
That's really bad for your kidney condition.
Cara needed it,
and an ambulance, but that last part's
really taking a long time. You sound winded.
Mr. L, she's spent.
I'm really worried about her fading.
I'd really like to return the CPR favor,
but I'm pretty weak myself.
Your dialysis stopped when the power went out, right?
And the A/C, too.
If the ambulance ever comes, I'll get in it with her.
It's the least they can do.
Mr. L, it's not looking good.
She really needs an ambulance.
Okay, Sharon, I'm coming to you.
Hang in there.
Cara, you're gonna get
a real-life nursing intensive.
I might pass out, honey, but that's okay.
It's happened before.
Could you elevate my feet?
And then it's all about the airway.
You gotta remember to keep it clear.
I won't be able to remind you.
Airway.
Airway. Airway.
I'm sorry, I know this hurts.
You're that Olympic diver, aren't you?
In a past life, yeah.
Wow. You're really brave.
Mm, firefighting is way scarier, trust me.
Yeah, you had a whole career,
and now you're starting a new one.
How do you know what you want and just go for it?
I always wanted to open my own bakery,
ever since I got my first standing mixer.
But restaurants are risky,
so I put it out of my mind
and told myself I could settle
for my salaried accounting job.
But here I am, years later,
finally going after what I wanted all along.
You didn't waste any time going after what you really want.
You must be wise beyond your years.
Nice work, Gabs.
You might be right about my work life,
but I doubt you'd feel the same way
about the rest of it. Whatever it is,
don't make my mistakes.
Don't wait.
Follow your heart now.
- All right, the engine's lifted. - Let's go.
Get ready to pack the wound.
All right, Bode, you and me.
One slide, all right? Yeah.
One, two, three, slide.
Okay, Freddy, I want you to pack this wound
and keep pressure on it. Okay.
There, pack it tight.
- See, Charlie? - Your leg is in one piece.
Have that splint ready for me.
I want you to get it all the way to the top.
How's our guy doing?
He's out, thank God. Hey,
I need the engine.
I-I got two patients. It's urgent.
I need transport, lights and sirens.
All right, we got you. Hey, guys,
let's get this box truck out of here
and get the chief an engine; let's get Charlie home.
Freddy, Ramirez, you're with me.
Soon as the engine's free, we go.
Wait. Can I help?
I need you here.
Making me proud.
I heard you earlier.
Why don't you think about
changing that sticker, huh?
I don't know who Donovan is,
but it's not your name.
Bode.
Hey, we got you. We got you. All right, man?
We got you.
Pulse is weak and thready.
- Charlie? - Hang on, man!
He's crashing.
Eve? Eve, what's going on?
Lost pulse.
Starting CPR. What?
No. No, no, no.
- Come on, come on. - Over here, guys.
We can't lose him.
Start the IV.
Run it wide open, okay?
Come on, Charlie, this is not how this ends for you.
He still doesn't have a pulse.
- He can't die on his last day. - He won't.
But if he wakes up without a leg, he's gonna be pissed.
So make sure you keep pressure on that thing.
Let's go, Charlie. Come on.
- I got a pulse. - He's alive.
Oh, thank God.
Hey. Hey, Charlie, you with me?
You again?
There's my man.
There you go, Charlie. Good.
Can I get a nonrebreather on him?
15 liters per minute, and another tourniquet on.
You got it.
Don't sugarcoat it. Is he...
He's critical, but he's okay.
We did it. He's alive.
You doing all right, Cap? What?
Yeah. Yeah, I just...
I-I just haven't been sleeping much lately, that's it.
Well, you told that driver to get help.
Maybe follow your own advice, huh?
Right.
Yeah, after this, no more double shifts.
Hey, all due respect, Cap,
is it just the doubles?
You don't... you don't have to talk to me,
but Chief Leone, he's helped me through a lot.
Maybe he can help you.
Oh, God.
Sharon.
Need a line, guys.
Yes, Chief.
How long's she been like this?
About ten minutes.
I've been putting cold cloths on her
and keeping her airway clear.
She's tachycardic and diaphoretic.
She needs a diuretic stat.
Thank you, Cara.
You're wide open, sir.
Come on, babe.
Time to wake up.
Grab a saline.
What's up?
My patient today made me realize something.
You see me.
You support me.
And I do love you.
So much, Jake.
Which is...
why it makes this so hard.
Makes what so hard?
I have feelings for Bode.
Yeah. I knew it.
I don't want to have feelings.
I don't even want to pursue anything with him.
It doesn't make any sense... Please.
Gabs, I really don't want to help you weigh
on whether or not to date Bode.
I don't know. I...
I only mentioned it so that you'd understand
that I'm not jumping from you to someone else.
But...
I can't be with you
if my heart is not fully with you.
I respect you too much, Jake.
I hate this.
Come on.
- There she is. - Hmm?
Vince...
You become transplant-eligible
and almost kill yourself in the same day.
Where's Cara?
Is she okay?
Yeah, yeah, she's...
she's fine, thanks to you.
I let her go in the first ambulance.
Oh, good. And how is everybody?
How is Bode? How was getting your hopes up?
Um, I actually didn't
till I saw him today.
Okay, Cara told me
that Bode broke up with her,
and baseball was just a way to get your affection.
So... we like Cara again?
Oh, yeah. Bode lied about that breakup.
I'm a little worried that...
I'm not giving him enough room to make mistakes,
'cause I'm so worried for him to be okay.
Maybe I have to listen a little bit more.
Mm. That go for everybody, or...
Where the hell you been?
This response time is totally disgraceful.
You should be ashamed.
Sharon is okay. Vince is with her.
What, you moving in?
No. No, just, uh...
just helping with overhaul.
"No, just, uh, helping with overhaul."
Bode, it's me, man.
Think about this.
You, me, Jake, Vince,
here at the station.
It could be fun.
Yeah, but what about all these guys who don't have my name?
You know? Freddy, Charlie?
Listen, what I saw today...
What-what I've seen with you and Three Rock...
Is a crew of very capable firefighters.
This transition between Fire Camp and Fire Station
has to be easier.
Wouldn't that be nice?
That red tape's pretty crazy.
Well, what if we change that? You and me.
Guys, it's past noon. Charlie's done.
The CO says he's not coming back
after he goes to the hospital.
It's goodbye.
Come on, Mills, we don't have all day.
You, too, Donovan. Hustle up.
Actually, it's Leone.
You guys know he's diabetic, right?
Copy. We'll monitor en route.
With high blood pressure. We got him.
He needs that leg. You'll save it, right?
He paroles today.
He's precious cargo.
All right, listen up.
Today, Charlie leaves Three Rock.
He saved land, he saved lives.
He's bettered himself.
He makes this program worth it for captains like me.
Today, Charlie graduates.
Today, Charlie's a hero.
Godspeed, my friend.
You ready? One, two...
Three Rock!
