Good afternoon, distinguished fellows of the parole board.
Last time I was here,
I would have rather stayed locked up in prison
than get assigned to a fire camp in my hometown.
Three Rock didn't just change my life,
it saved it.
Today, there's...
There's no place I'd rather be than home.
S-Sorry, I'm.
I didn't mean to get choked up.
No, get choked up, man.
Don't be afraid to go there.
Parole board eats that stuff up. Keep going, it's good.
I'm just kind of distracted.
Aw, come on.
Don't let those knuckleheads distract you.
When Sleeper was getting taken away by the cops,
he told me... told me, "This isn't over."
Hey, guy like that doesn't make empty threats.
Yeah, well, that guy
is locked back up in a prison cell right now.
Yeah, but he's still got sway here at camp.
I-I j... I hate how he
how he infected these guys. Bode, I hate
what Sleeper did around here, too,
but that's not your problem now.
Getting out of here is.
So, let's get back to it.
After your statement they're gonna
ask you some questions about if you have any
employment lined up. What are you gonna say?
I'm gonna get some construction work
and volunteer at Station 42.
That's all part-time.
Parole board might view that as unstable,
leave you prone to bad decisions, drugs.
Cap, I'm... I'm gonna stay clean, though.
Bode, I-I know you are,
but I don't want to give them any rope to hang you.
What if... you could hit the ground running
as a full-time firefighter?
Cap, come on, come on.
I mean, it's a long road before I can get hired on by Cal Fire.
I'm not talking about Cal Fire.
You're not the only one getting out of here, Bode.
I'm gonna take a job with Nozzle.
And they agreed to hire any parolee I vouch for.
Wait, you're g... you're just gonna
you're gonna leave Three Rock?
Do my folks know?
I owe your folks everything, Bode.
And more important, I owe them you paroling.
And full-time work at Nozzle...
That's gonna look real good to the board.
Just... think about it, Bode.
First things first. He hasn't even paroled yet.
You have any idea how long I have dreamed
of assigning my son a locker?
Since the day he was born.
Seriously, though,
If Bode wanted to come work here, there is so much
red tape he'd have to get through.
Hey, hey.
Cereal killer, chill with the milk.
I know you are one to talk,
Ms. "Leave an empty carton in the refrigerator."
Your nickname game is lame. But you know I'm right.
We got through all the red tape with Manny, didn't we?
Manny's not our son. Cal Fire is not a fan of nepotism.
We'd have to totally stay out of this.
Well, then we'll vouch for him. Right, Eve?
Well, apparently, my vouching doesn't do anything.
I just got an e-mail from Freddy's lawyers
saying it's gonna take over two years
to overturn the conviction.
Why?
"Due to a backlog in the courts."
What the hell?
Station 42. Vegetation fire.
15000 Vine Ridge Road.
Ooh, that's wine country.
Yeah. You want to come?
Only if we can stop in the tasting room on the way home.
You taste wine, I'll drink tequila.
There you are.
I ordered you
a breakfast burrito, but I'm gonna tell them to make it to go
'cause you're gonna miss your flight. I canceled my flight.
Kyle, I-I took the day off
so that I can take you to the airport.
Gab, I came here for the diving clinic,
but I'm realizing
that I also really came here to see you.
To see if... there was still something.
Kyle, that was two years ago, and we were... I...
It was one night.
It was two.
There's my best man.
I hope you're a bow tie guy. Yeah?
Cookie's driving up.
We're celebrating
my soon-to-be freedom by tying the knot.
I'm coming home as her husband.
I'm-I'm honored, Goat.
But, did you consider doing a destination wedding?
These guys don't really look like they're up
for being groomsmen.
Forget these fools.
Nah.
They're not gonna ruin my wedding day.
How 'bout ruining somebody's next three years?
All 'cause you decided to snitch,
and you got Cap to drug test us.
You can't be going in fires if you're using, man.
It puts all of us in danger.
My test is gonna come back dirty, Bode.
I told you I can't go back.
We don't have to.
There ain't no fences.
We could just bounce.
You crazy? Escape?
Hey, Troy, Troy.
Troy, do not listen to these guys.
You try and jailbreak and you're never getting back here
to Three Rock, bro, okay?
A dirty test isn't a done deal. Manny has a say in it.
Says Manny's golden boy.
You're not the one who's gonna
have to watch his back in a prison yard.
No.
No, he ain't,
but he still has to watch his back in here.
You know how many saves.
Bode has under his belt at fire camp?
The exact number? No.
I don't call it nepotism if-if the job
is actually in his blood.
That's the literal definition.
Vince, I-I want to see him jump out of that engine
maybe more than anything else,
but, come on, some things are out of our control.
Let's hope this wildfire isn't one.
What'd you guys put in my bunk?
Rats like cheese, right?
Bode. Don't.
So I'm a rat? Yeah.
- Bode, don't. No! - And what are you?
Some dude that's just gonna blow
all the good time he's done and run?
I think that you let Sleeper
get to you and you're just as pissed about it as I am.
Before he got here,
we were a crew, we were brothers.
You were a firefighter.
And I say you all still are,
even if your tests come back dirty.
You are firefighters!
How am I gonna tell Freddy
since I got his hopes up he was getting out?
Eve, you're punishing yourself.
Like you did something wrong.
Eve, you got to tell him.
Have that difficult conversation.
Just get this fire out, all right?
All right, guys, let's hit that tree line.
Got it. Copy, Chief.
Okay, you were right about Bode.
What? Say that again. Yeah.
Baby steps.
Parole first.
Cal Fire down the road.
Yeah.
On a brighter note, if this wind doesn't kick up,
we should be in that tasting room by lunch.
All right. Now you're speaking my language.
What the hell?
This isn't a wildfire. Hey.
Eve, Jake, turn that line around.
Is that a backfire?
Somebody lit it to try and burn off the fuel
between here and the winery mansion?
You didn't authorize this? Of course not.
1501, up the tools.
We relocate to the winery.
Greencrest, this is Division 1501.
I need Three Rock and two battalions.
Copy that.
Who started this thing?
They did.
Nozzle Fire Suppression.
You know... rich people helping other rich people.
Damn rent-a-firefighters.
Whose stupid backfire just backfired.
You want to try and change your fate?
Show Cap who you are on this fire.
That you deserve a second chance here.
Let's go, gentlemen. Everyone get ready.
Wine Country's burning down.
You know what? Not everyone.
Lonnegan, Beck, and Troy, don't even bother suiting up.
You boys are benched today.
Copy, Cap. Cool by me.
Me too.
Cap, no, no.
Hey, we-we need our whole crew.
I'll vouch for them. No.
Cap, Cap, I-I won't let you down.
And they won't either.
Don't make me regret it, Bode.
Vamanos, guys, hurry.
We still got two fires to deal with
heading this direction.
Hey, who's in charge here?
I was.
Santino, the grounds manager.
And-and these are your workers?
My kids.
Thank God you guys got here.
We got the other workers and their families evacuating.
Yeah, why aren't you doing the same?
This is our winery, too.
My family has been working this land
three generations. We don't run.
Especially with this company
the boss hired running things. They lit that blaze.
Where's the head Nozzle?
Head Nozzle... that's a first.
Faye Stone.
I sent a chopper to your train fire.
You're the one responsible for this mess.
You know that backfire you lit, technically illegal,
not to mention extremely reckless.
Okay, we're trying to protect our client's assets.
As opposed to theirs?
- It's not my choice. - It's my client's.
Glad you got your priorities straight.
Okay, Vince.
Faye, you're gonna take your crew
and you're gonna put them on your client's assets
and we will handle the larger vegetation fire
before it overruns the property.
I'm glad we could be in sync.
You know, Bode will be well set up for his future.
I'm thrilled
that your son is coming aboard Nozzle
when he paroles.
What? No. No, he's not.
Wait, Manny didn't loop you in?
He's gonna bring him over with him.
Manny's coming to work for... Me.
Head Nozzle.
I'll get my crew on the vineyard.
That doesn't sound right.
I mean... Bode wouldn't do that, right?
I mean, what... I mean, why wouldn't Manny tell us?
You know what, I'm in as much shock as you are,
and right now we have to pick our battles, so
we're gonna pick that fire. Yeah.
Yo, this would have been a lovely spot
for a destination wedding?
Still can be.
We, we get this thing put out,
I'm sure they'd give you one hell of a discount.
All right, gentlemen,
eyes up and watch each other's six.
Here's to one of our last fires together in orange, Goat.
Yes, sir. Let's go big and go home.
Let's go, fellas.
Hey, Chiefs, what's the situation?
You tell us.
Thanks to your future boss there, Nozzle,
got a hell of a mess on our hands.
I was gonna tell you guys.
When? Yeah.
When our son's under your command lighting
unauthorized backfires for kajillionaires?
Come on, Bode. This is who you want to work for?
- Dad, nothing's been decided yet. - Three Rock,
go cut line at the head of the right flank.
Copy that, Chief.
Vince, it's a good gig,
and I only have his best interests at heart.
His or yours?
Ours.
Let's go, fellas. Dad...
Come on. I got to be realistic about my future.
Yeah.
Guess I do, too.
Great work, Three Rock.
How we do it.
Hey, I'll be right back.
Bode, you got this?
We all got this, Cap.
So, that's what your big pep talk was about?
You got yourself a job at Nozzle
and now you want our help to impress your new boss? No.
He's playing us.
This dude's out for himself.
And we need to be out for ourselves.
There ain't no fences out here either, boys.
You keep talking all this trash about a... about a jailbreak.
And what? What?
You worried you and Cap won't get your cush, sellout jobs?
No. I'm worried that these folks
will lose all they've sacrificed for.
All this stuff right here, this is how they feed their families.
We don't cut this line, they lose it all.
Look, man, you-you don't want to show up for me,
for this crew, for yourself, show up for them.
I know you want to clean up Three Rock before you parole,
but trust me, B, these dudes are not worth it.
Same could have been said for me.
So, your version is we had a fling and that was it?
Yeah.
Maybe if things after had gone differently...
What things?
Kyle, you winning gold medals and
not returning my texts for weeks.
I was an idiot, swept up in-in all of the...
Magazine covers and TV shows. I saw you.
Everywhere.
Meanwhile, my career was over.
Are you happy?
I'm genuinely asking.
This three restaurant,
more stop signs than stoplights town,
and the inmate that comes with it.
He's getting out in two days.
So, the ex-con, then.
When he's out and being with him
and living here is as real as a straitjacket,
will you be happy?
Because you deserve happiness, Gabs,
more than anyone I know.
Hi.
I... I was supposed to
meet an old girlfriend from high school here.
I want to take her fishing, but, I was stashing
my gear in the trunk,
and a car hit me from behind, just out there
in the parking lot, and threw me into the, into the trunk,
and... guy drove away.
Just right now?
H-How are you feeling?
It-it doesn't really even hurt.
My fishing knife was just...
If I just... No, no, no, no, no, no!
Don't do that!
Okay, we're gonna sit you down.
Sir, we're gonna lay you down. What do I do?
Call 911. Get me a first aid kit
and all the clean towels you have.
Coming, right now! Okay, breathe, breathe.
Breathe.
Where are my towels?
Watch out for that spot fire.
Right.
Nice work, y'all.
Hey, Eve.
Did Bode tell you the big news?
What? Cookie's driving up.
We making it legal.
Wow, Freddy, congrats, man.
I thought it'd be cool if, in my vows,
I could spring a date on her, like,
"You believed in me, bae, I'll see you in May."
You know what? That's corny.
You know what? That sounds great. I'll see
what I can find out. Yeah. Okay, cool.
Well... what rhymes with "two years"?
It's not funny.
I'm not laughing, Eve. It's awful.
But it's only getting worse the longer you take
to tell him the truth.
You know he deserves that much.
You told my chiefs,
Bode's parents, that we're coming to Nozzle?
Damn it, Faye.
I wanted to do this the right way.
Manny, I made a mistake.
I slipped and they were caught off guard.
I am doing their son and the rest of these guys a solid.
And now I need one, too.
We need to create more defensive space
so we can protect the vineyard's main house.
Faye... I-Isn't Bode first saw? Come on.
Sharon's division leader here.
Everything has to go through her first.
Well, she told me to put my guys on the vines and the tree lines.
I'm following her command.
And Bode's following mine.
He's cutting line, not trees,
with the rest of Three Rock.
I got to go back to them. I'm sorry.
The vineyard fire's mostly contained.
We're gonna have to help Nozzle now
to protect the winery's main house.
Best way to do that?
Kick them out of here for starting that backfire.
They could not have known the wind was gonna shift.
Wh-Why are you defending them?
I don't know, it's complicated.
Cal Fire's in charge but this is private property
that the owners hired Nozzle to protect
and if Manny and Bode go to work for them
Manny can do whatever the hell he wants, but Bode...
Bode is a 30-year-old man who has to make his own decisions.
Since when? I don't know.
It's called growth. I'm trying this out.
Hey, Chief, who's running the saw?
Who do you think?
Chief, that's a power line.
Nozzle, halt all work.
- Hey, stop cutting. Stop cutting! - Power line!
Wait, are those...
Fuel tanks! Get down, everyone!
My parents.
Mom! Dad!
Everybody okay?
This fuel fire's not.
Water's not gonna put this out.
We need foam.
That or a Co2 extinguisher.
We have a few on the truck. Let's go. Right.
First the backfire, now this.
You trying to burn this place down?
Do you have class B foam or Co2?
Not enough. Wait a minute.
Don't winery's use Co2 in manufacturing?
Right? He'd be the guy to ask.
We have Co2 canisters in the plant.
Okay, Three Rock, you go with Santino.
42, get that on these trees right now!
Nozzle, get whatever foam you have and get it on that fire.
Hey, are you seriously keeping them on this incident?
I need the manpower. We will put this fire out together.
Come on!
I need a tourniquet.
911 says they're five minutes out.
His femoral artery's pumping like it's completely severed.
If we wait five minutes,
it's gonna be way too much blood that he loses.
C-Come put pressure on this side. Okay.
Okay, ready?
Get it. Okay.
Are you that swimmer?
Diver.
And yes, that's him.
Can I get a picture with you?
Totally.
I even have my medal in my backpack.
You can wear it, okay?
Pulse is racing.
He's losing too much blood, even with the tourniquet,
which means I...
Okay. Hey, Oscar.
I'm gonna need to reach
in your wound with my hands
and pinch it with my fingers, okay?
It's going to hurt.
It's okay, just breathe.
Breathe. Hey, hey, here, hold my hand.
Why don't you talk to me about your high school sweetheart?
Tell me about her. Rosanna.
Rosanna.
I planned something more romantic than
than this is
for the first time she's seeing me in 50 years.
Well, you're gonna have one hell of a story to tell her.
This way, guys! This way! Go!
It's right on this corner.
Right there. All right, Three Rocks,
get this Co2 out there.
Dad, the flames are getting closer to our trailer.
We... we need line cut, we need water. We ne...
We can't worry about that right now.
We got a bigger fuel fire. Dad!
Sir, sir, please, go protect your place and your family.
We got this. That's what I'm trying to do!
This winery, these vines, this is our legacy.
Dad, we don't own this place.
Everything we own will be gone. Stop!
Cap, can't we split the crew in half?
Half of us move the Co2, the other half
go with Santino to help his family.
All right, Lonnegan, Beck and Troy go cut line.
Prove Bode's right about you.
You got to go. Let's get it.
Hey, hey.
This is your shot to show Cap what you're all about.
Not just him. Gonna show you, too.
Thanks, Freddy.
I got your back like you got mine.
Freddy, I, um... About your case.
I heard from the lawyer.
Ooh, who I can't wait to thank in person.
Cookie and I are driving straight to their offices.
No, Freddy, I.
I'm not sure we're gonna be able to get you out.
What do you mean? It...
Your-your alibi is sticking,
it's just the p-the processing time,
it's gonna take... Eve.
How long?
The rest of your sentence.
Look, I wanted this so badly for you, you know I did.
Don't, don't, don't, don't. And I didn't mean...
Don't beat yourself up.
You did everything you could.
It's the system that failed.
It always is.
We good.
What's wrong?
I... I'm-I'm not getting out.
What?
No, that-that can't be.
Hey, you know what, um, I'm still getting married.
And, um... you-you... you
just got to promise me you'll live your best life
when you're on parole. All right, man?
My best life's gonna be devoting every day
to getting you out.
Hey.
Let's go put this fire out, all right?
All right. Let's go.
We still got a few more cannisters left.
You're a little too late.
All this fuel's on a direct path to that manufacturing plant.
We got pesticides, fertilizer.
And my guys cutting line.
Hey, y'all, nobody's cutting line down there.
Where's Lonnegan and the guys?
Boys.
Troy! Beck!
Where the hell'd they go?
Bode, you have to tell him.
Tell me what?
Earlier at camp,
Lonnegan was talking about trying to escape.
Captain Manny Perez reporting three MIA inmates:
Troy Elliot, Norm Beck, Felix Lonnegan.
Last Blush Winery.
Copy that.
Hey, Captain. Look, Cap.
You know these guys talk a good game,
but they're not... they're no fugitives, Cap. You know that.
I don't know that, Bode, and neither do you.
And they left their damn packs there.
Stop vouching for them.
You're right, yeah, it's on me.
It's on me, Bode.
Because I listened to you, and I'm done with that.
Three Rock!
Get your hook line and hit the buggy now.
Wait, we're just leaving? No, Goat.
We're doing unit accountability right now.
Can't afford to misplace any more firefighters today.
I told you those guys were not worth it.
I still don't believe that.
And I don't believe they tried to escape.
Bode, come on.
No, last thing Lonnegan said to me was
he was gonna show me what he was about.
He's a firefighter. Hey, hey.
He left us at that fire.
Maybe to go fight another one.
Santino and his kids.
Hey, hey, dude...
Really?
Hey. This is Oscar, 68 years old.
Knife wound to the femoral artery.
I have it pinched. He has a weak pulse
but he keeps coming in and out of consciousness.
Just keep holding on until I get the clamp on.
Okay.
Great. You can let go.
Oscar, these people are gonna take you to the hospital.
Can I call someone?
My brother Bruce.
Here, take my phone.
Password, Rosanna1972.
A woman you haven't seen
in over 50 years is your password?
Just wait till you see her.
She's gonna think I stood her up.
Hold here.
Hey, I'm gonna go with Oscar to the hospital.
Stay here and wait for Rosanna and meet us over there, okay?
Wind's picking up.
I don't know how much longer we can hold this off.
The direction is shifting, too.
The head of the vegetation fire is beelining it north.
Right toward Santino's trailer.
They're the ones we should be protecting.
All engine teams
relocate to the southwest corridor.
- Hold the line at the road. - D.C. Leone.
This is a $50 million property. Yeah,
that your crew lit on fire.
Okay, please, I have a contract to honor.
Yeah, and I have a community to serve,
so unless you want law enforcement
to walk you off this property,
I suggest you get moving.
This feels personal.
Yeah, it is personal, but not as a mother,
As a Cal Fire chief.
Okay, come on.
That's my girl.
All right, you all heard D.C. Leone.
- We're moving, let's go. - Hey, Chiefs.
Bode and Freddy, are they here?
No. Why?
'Cause I'm missing three firefighters,
and I think they went in to find 'em
over by Santino's trailer.
My son is supposed to parole in two days!
I know that, Chief. I know.
Even with hoses that's a death trap.
All units be advised I have five unaccounted for.
Three Rock firefighters.
One of them is my son.
Hey. Hi.
This is Rosanna.
Where's Oscar?
Is he in surgery?
No, he-he's in the ER.
Can I see him? Is that allowed?
I mean, well, I'm not family,
but I'm an old flame.
Well, actually, I'm a new love. I mean.
I'm a grandma with an ex-husband and,
and my own business, and yet, you know,
this morning I changed my clothes three times
before I ended up with this.
I mean, I was just like a breathless teenager.
Um, Rosanna, Oscar, he...
In the ambulance, he went into cardiac arrest,
and they-they
they worked on him for 45 minutes, but he.
I'm so sorry.
Oscar died.
Oscar.
My Oscar died?
We were going to go fishing.
I... No.
I'm so sorry.
Lonnegan! Troy!
Beck! Hey!
- Beck! - Man, Cap thought you escaped.
We were trying to help Santino and his family!
Where's Lonnegan? Where's Santino?
Over there! They're in there!
Man. Man. Man.
He's in there! Hey!
My son! My son! Hey, what's... Let me go!
You have to save my son.
Where? Where? The bedroom.
Get him... Lonnegan, get him back! Hey!
We can't get to him through that hallway.
We're not going through the hallway.
Man, I really don't want to die
two days before my wedding.
Like you said earlier, go big and go home.
Yeah!
Come on, B, get it!
You got him, B? Come on. Come on, let's go.
We got to go, come on. Yeah, come on, let's go.
Here we go, here we go. Head down, head down.
Here's your dad.
Come on.
We got to go, we got to go.
We got to go! Move quick, now.
Aw, Bode.
That fire doesn't have any walls to bust down.
We're trapped.
We may not have water, but we have wine.
What?
Come on, go! Go, go, go! Come on, come on!
Let's go. Come on!
Let's go. Let's go.
Bode?
Thank God.
God.
Hey, is everybody out?
Yeah. Good.
You are one hell of a firefighter.
Yes, and that would be true whether you were
at Nozzle or Cal Fire.
Your life, your decision.
Fourth generation Cal Fire.
It's worth the wait no matter how long it takes.
Hey, thank you for saving me and my kids.
They're my true legacy, not somebody else's roots.
Hey, tho-those are the guys you need to thank right there.
Come on! This whole place is gonna go!
Hi.
Hey.
Dude, that was rough.
I won't let what happened today happen again.
Yeah, neither will I.
Today I realized I'm not Nozzle material.
What?
Come on, I mean, you've accepted our offer.
I did, and it was a generous one,
but it comes with too high of a price.
I met you when you were just a few rungs
above rock bottom.
And I never judged you.
And now you-you judge me and what I do?
No, come on, I'm just... I'm just turning down the job.
I'm not talking about your character.
I think we both know you're talking about both.
Goodbye, Manny.
No, Faye...
Look at that.
You put his name right next to yours.
Yeah. I want him by my side.
No matter how long it takes, Share,
his locker will be waiting for him.
I thought maybe we should celebrate our son.
Um, we're not supposed to drink in the firehouse.
I know. Yours is apple juice
and this is grape juice till we get to
the tequila and wine at home.
I just... I wanted to commemorate
that our baby's really coming home.
It's Sacramento. I have to take this.
This time of night? What do they want?
I don't know. It's got to be important, though, right?
I hate this part.
When people die and you have to go on with your life
like everything is okay.
You've had people die on you before?
Not a lot, but yeah.
Your job... it's limitless and meaningful
a-and thrilling.
Like you.
Not always.
Can I see it?
See what?
Your medal.
You told Oscar that you had it on you.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
In an instant, your life changes, you know?
Yeah.
I overextended and did a bad dive, and suddenly
everything changed.
You asked me before if I was happy.
And it made me realize...
What?
I'm not.
I'm not happy.
Bode.
Gab, it's pouring. Wh-What's going on?
A man died at Smokey's today.
He walked in and died. What?
He didn't even get to see Rosanna.
And she got dressed up and she looked so pretty.
And they missed each other.
In an instant it changed.
I've put off happiness.
It was always gonna be when I got my gold medal.
And now it's when you get out.
"I'll be happy when we can be together."
That's what I told myself.
But what if it never happens? What if you don't make parole?
What if you die in a fire? What if I die in a fire?
Gab, I'm-I'm gonna parole.
No-Nobody's gonna die.
What if all we have is now?
I can't wait another day, Bode.
I can't wait for the right time, for the right circumstances.
I want to be happy now.
Right now.
Can't believe you lifted the keys.
I told you I couldn't wait.
I can't either.
Where the hell you been?
I-I know I can't be getting a write-up
so close to my parole hearing.
Bode, I'm afraid this offense
is a little more severe than just a write-up.
For breaking curfew?
For breaking my heart.
You failed your drug test, Bode.
Never mind parole.
This could send you right back to prison.
