(FLAMES WHOOSHING)

♪ ♪

JAKE: What do you do with your secrets?

VINCE: My secrets?

And do you and Sharon

tell each other everything,
or do you keep secrets?

I mean, even from each other.

Well, it's happened more often
than we'd like it to,

but, um, we work through it.

No, no, no, I don't, I don't
mean the little ones.

I mean, like, big secrets.

Ugly ones that are hard
to admit, even to yourself.

What-what do you do with those?

What are we talking about here, Jake?

Nothing. Nothing.
Um, it's all good, Chief.

You know you can
always talk to me, right?

I know. Thanks.

SHARON: Come on, Manny, rise
and shine before Vince gets back.

Sharon, what gives?

Come on.

Come on, I was up till : a.m.
at that landfill fire last night.

Yeah, but Erika's coming back.

- Erika?
- Yeah.

Come on. Assistant Chief
Erika Snow on the hunt

for a serial arsonist.

She's gonna see
that evidence against Jake

and then pursue him as a suspect

while there's a real arsonist out there.

We have to be prepared.
We have to protect him.

(BAG THUMPS)

I knew it.

I knew you were hiding something.

I didn't imagine it'd be this bad.

But it might explain the very weird

and cryptic breakfast
I just had with Jake.

Chief, for the record,
I begged her to tell you about it.

- He was being cryptic?
- There's evidence against him?

- Circumstantial evidence only.
- MANNY: Mm-hmm.

I mean, he's the only one at
who doesn't have an alibi.

And there's proof that he was in
Drake County when the fire started.

And I need to not be part of this.

I mean, I am trying to get
my life straight. I can't do it.

We shouldn't be in this either.

Don't make me state the obvious.

What? Come on. He was a kid.
That was a long time ago.

A kid who started a fire
that you and I...

(QUIETLY): you and I covered up.

No, we didn't.

We made an assessment
and decided he wasn't a thr*at.

Well, what if we were wrong?
What if we didn't just

cover up a mistake, we covered
up an arsonist's first time?

No, no, come on, stop. This is Jake.

This is... (EXHALES) our Jake.

He's a... he's a hero.

Isn't that the exact profile?

I've been trying, you know.

I've tried to call Jake
pretty much every day

since the kidney donation
thing went sideways.

It's like he's just...
It's like he's dodging me.

I mean, you two are still good, right?

Yeah, I think so.

It's why I volunteered
to come work here today,

so I could try and talk to him.

And here I thought
you were trying to hang with me.

Always. Hey, hey. Come on. Always.

(SCOFFS SOFTLY)

It's not like him to be late, huh?

Well, not to work, but he's been flaky.

I mean, who passes up bowling
and beers with your girl?

- He did that?
- Nobody. The answer is nobody.

- Nobody.
- Right. (LOUD CLATTER)

I-I got it. I got it.

I know you do. (GROANS)

I need to throw a ladder unassisted.

It's one of the skills I have to master

to graduate from being a probie.

Look.

Look at all these blank boxes.

But look at all the completed ones.

Your dad said I should have patience,

that it usually takes probies two years

to check off all the boxes.

I told him that patience wasn't
what got me into the Olympics.

It was practicing until
my lungs got bruised.

- I bet he liked that.
- Yeah.

He did say he was gonna give me
more opportunities in the field.

Jake. Hey. Hey, man, what's up?

Same old same old.

How's your morning going?

Fine.

(SIGHS) Still processing

the whole failed kidney transplant.

Did you know that
only one in , people

actually have that level
of anesthesia intolerance?

Did you know that
only one in a billion would be

ashamed about it rather than
proud of their bravery?

- That's right.
- How you coping?

I'm coping fine.

And where'd you go after to recover?

Home.

I know you were in Drake County.

Yeah, evacuating
the prison with the crew.

No.
I know you went there the week before.

And before you answer,
you have to know that

we love you and we have
your back no matter what,

but I need you to tell me the truth now.

Uh, Assistant Chief Snow is here.

She said she has an
important announcement to make.

All right, Three Rock, line up.

Good morning.

The department is on the hunt
for a serial arsonist,

and we've narrowed the search
down to this station.

(QUIET MURMURING)

You think one of us is a firebug?

Yeah, but don't take that personally.

No, take this personally.

The Wallace Development fire,
the Hill fire,

the Drake County fire
were all intentionally set.

One person is making fools
of the rest of you.

So get angry, stay alert.
Help smoke them out.

What should we look for?

Anything out of character is a red flag.

Whoever you are, it's not a question

of if we catch you but when.

♪ ♪

(QUIET MURMURING)

Wait, is-is that why you were
asking me about Drake County?

You suspect me?

No, I do not, but your Bell pass shows

that you were in Drake County
the day the fire started.

Yeah, well, it wasn't me.

Oh, really?

Don't nobody want to step up
and chime in to have my back?

Chief, you know me.

We do. We absolutely do.

Tell me why you were in Drake County
and this whole thing goes away.

I can't believe I have to explain myself

in order for you to believe me.

(ALARM BLARING)

(URGENT CHATTER)

Do I have to say it?

I'm not the arsonist.

Sounds like something
an arsonist would say.

All right, Lee, you got something

you want to say to me?
Get it off your chest.

Are you responsible for...

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Why? Why, Bode?

How come I'm guilty
until proven innocent?

You know me, man.
I would never do anything like that.

I know.

You believe me?

I believe you.

VINCE: We got two simultaneous calls.

Jake, you take to the medical.

I'll cover the fire.

Wait, you're putting me on
the lower priority call?

Every call is a priority.

Chief, you're benching me
for something I didn't do.

I'm not benching anybody.

I'm sending you out to do your job.

(URGENT CHATTER)

Was Jake a perfect boyfriend?

No, but he never lied to me.

That I know of.

He lied to me for years about Riley.

- Did I just date a serial arsonist?
- No. Stop.

We're firefighters,
not investigators. Let's go.

VINCE: Greencrest, we have
a two-story commercial lodge

with a working fire on the first floor,

possible extension to the second.

Setting up for interior att*ck.

I'll be assuming IC. You the owner?

Yeah. (COUGHS)

Anybody left inside? Any guests. No.

Thankfully, lodge is vacant right now.

How'd this fire get so big
without the alarm going off?

I'm so sorry. My late husband...
he handled alarms and stuff like that.

So you were the only one inside?

No, and my... and my two kids
are behind me.

Mom, Danny's still up there!
He wouldn't come out!

I tried, but there was
fire in the stairwell,

- and I'm sorry I left him.
- Babe, it's okay.

Firefighters are gonna
get him out, okay?

Perez, throw a ladder up that window.

- Get the kid out.
- On it, Chief.

Eve, you're on att*ck, division .

Fire's on the alpha side, living room.

- Got you. Probie?
- Hey.

- Thought you were off shift.
- I was close.

Thought you could use the help.

(PANTING)

Yeah, all right, suit up.
Eve, take the nugget.

Come on.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

You suspect Crawford.

Sharon, you had a public conversation.

People talk.

Yeah, but are you here
for suspicions or facts?

I am not doing this twice.

I will not bend the rules again.

This investigation
is by the book, no exceptions.

Good.

I will honor any truth
that you find here,

even if it breaks my heart.

Does that mean you're gonna
honor the deal we made?

Here it is... The list of personnel

who were not on shift
in the timeline you gave me.

And I'll email that over, as well.

I don't see Jake Crawford's
whereabouts on here.

Because he wasn't on shift,
so that's all I know.

Because like you said,

I don't tuck my people
into bed at night.

How are you doing?

Well, you saw what went down today.

Oh, and, uh, on top of that,
I just came back from a call

where the owner of a pet boa
argued with me

because I wouldn't perform CPR
on his dead snake.

So, how you think I'm doing?

My parents suspecting you.

What, all-all this because
you were in Drake County

when that fire was started?

Yeah, well, it doesn't help that I lied.

Why-why would you lie about that?

I can't tell you, Bode.

I wish I could, but I can't.

Okay, fine, man,
you don't have to tell me.

But that's it?

That's all they have? Nothing else?

Yeah.

(SCOFFS) That's... that's bull, man.

ERIKA: Bode Leone?

Can we talk?

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Hold up.

Let me give you a hand here.

Uh... I got this.

You don't know Jake.

He's the good one, all right?
I-I'm the bad seed.

You believe people
are good or bad, no in between?

I believe that Jake would never
intentionally set a fire.

No way.

Remember the fire that
almost b*rned down his house

when you were kids?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it was sixth grade.

The Crawfords were new to town,
and that's how our families met.

Jake's admitted he started that fire.

(THUDDING, GRUNTING)

We're clear!

Move in!

Let's knock these flames out, Collin!

Next one.

(GRUNTING)

Can you imagine what Jake's
going through right now?

Not now, probie.

Let's just focus on the work, man.

I thought I knew Jake.

I-I was... I was sure
that he couldn't have done this.

But the secrets that he's hid from me.

Look...

I know what you know.

About Jake starting that fire
when he was a kid.

Your mom told me.

And I wish she hadn't.

And I wish I wasn't caught up
in all this mess, but she did,

so here we are.

If he hid something that big from me,
what else could he hide?

You can't know for sure.

But you either trust someone
or you don't.

You know?

Fire department!

Danny?!

Danny! My name is Gabriela.

I'm a firefighter.

It's not safe in here.

I need you to climb through this window

and climb down the ladder
while I'm spotting you, okay?

Hey, Danny, you can play this outside.

Okay? But we got to go now.

Come on. Come on.

(g*nf*re POPPING)

(b*ll*ts POPPING AND RICOCHETING)

Go! Come on! Get down!

Come on, come on! Down, down,
down, down, down! Get down!

(FRANTIC SHOUTING)

Chief, flames hit some a*mo!

And it must be
a box of b*ll*ts or something.

Copy that, Eve. Get out of there.

(b*ll*ts RICOCHETING)

Live a*mo inside. Everybody, out now.

(ALARM BLARING) Means you, too, Perez.

Chief, I almost have the patient!

(THUDDING, COLLIN YELLS)

(g*nf*re POPPING)

Danny, Danny, I know that the
g*nshots can be startling, okay?

It's okay to be scared,
but we got to go. Come on.

Danny, your house is on fire.

Chief, patient's not engaging
or cooperating.

Ladder's not a viable exit route.

Neither is the stairwell inside.

Describe conditions in the room.

- Sealed off and protected.
- VINCE: All right.

I got an SCBA en route. Put it
on the kid and come down now.

Eve, what's your status?

On our way out, Chief.

(PANTING) MAN: Perez!

Thank you.

All right, Danny,
I'm gonna put this on you, okay?

But I can't get you down that
ladder if you won't help me.

Breathe. Breathe.

Move, move, move, move!

(g*nf*re POPPING)

Hey, those windows could blow!

Move away! Move away! Move away now!

(GASPS)

(g*nf*re POPPING, URGENT CHATTER)

Pull that line over to the window,

start knocking down the fire from there.

Got you, Chief.

Ma'am.

Is there any more a*mo inside?

Um... yes. It's a hunting lodge.

- How much?
- Uh, a lot.

I'm expecting
a bachelor party this weekend.

Enough for guys for three days.

Where is it located?

I don't know why we didn't get rid

of everything when Dad d*ed.

Okay, it was an accident, okay, honey?

All over the house.
Please get my son out. Please.

Yeah.

- Chief?
- Yeah, I know.

You're anxious
to get that kid out, okay?

But nobody's going back inside

till we locate all the a*mo,
till I say so.

- All right?
- Did you see him?

- Is he okay?
- Danny's safe for now.

There's no fire in his room,
and we left him with a breathing device.

VINCE: We still need
to get him out sooner than later.

Has your son been diagnosed with PTSD

or anything like that?

No. Why?

He just had a very strong
reaction to the g*nshots,

and he wouldn't move to
safety when there's a fire.

Danny witnessed a hunting accident
that k*lled his... his dad.

The g*nshots must've brought it back.

I don't think he's climbing
down that ladder.

He must be terrified.

But you're gonna get him out, right?

We'll get him out from the inside

as soon as we get control of the fire.

GABRIELA: Yeah. Oh.

Did the glass hit you?

Mom.

- You're bleeding?
- What? No, no.

No, it doesn't hurt.
No, it doesn't hurt.

Okay, well, we should get it
dressed before it gets infected.

This way. Come here.

EVE: Yo, Chief.

There are spot fires
behind the structure,

about an acre, acre and a half
from hitting the tree line.

Greencrest, we now have
a vegetation fire

in addition to the structure fire.

I need Engine and Three Rock.

Tell to bring Kevlar.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Sorry this took a minute.

The drip coffee here is terrible,

but I have a French press in my office.

All this stalling is ridiculous
and useless. Forensics called.

With actual evidence?

An almost literal smoking g*n.

Part of the drip torch

we think the arsonist used
to start the fire.

They were able to lift a print off it.

Hold on. You think the
arsonist is a firefighter

who handled a torch without gloves?

Well, this arsonist replaces the fuel

with their own
extremely flammable accelerant

by disassembling the torch.

It's much easier to do without gloves.

And why are you so sure that
this torch came from Station ?

This is the serial number.

It's one of a batch of eight
issued to this station months ago.

Now, if I were you,

I'd want to find out who was
in charge of engine checkouts

when that torch went missing
without anyone noticing.

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

You got your vest on. That's good.

Might need you inside.

Right now, you're on the pump.

Don't do anything unless I tell you to.

I never do anything
unless you tell me to.

BODE: Hey, Jake.

Hey.

How am I supposed to have your back
if you hide stuff from me?

What the hell are you talking about now?

About this fire
that you started as a kid.

Chief Snow told me.

My parents know, don't they?

- Yeah, yeah, but...
- And you didn't think this was worth

bringing up when I...
when I asked you point-blank

if there was anything else
they had on you?

You suspect me, too, huh?

Because of a mistake I made...

as a kid?

- I don't want to...
- Then don't, Bode.

Man, I got everyone here
looking at me like I did it.

I didn't start those fires.

Okay.

But if you didn't, then...

- what is happening?
- I don't know, man.

How did Chief Snow even
find out about my past, huh?

Who else knew?

Bode, that's not exactly
something that I advertise.

I mean, some of my...

Let's grab some gear from the back.

We'll meet you back here, all right?

O'Reilly?

- Yeah, what's up?
- Did you tell the fire investigator

that I started that fire as a kid?

- Did you?
- Y-Yeah. Why?

You don't do that.

- I'm sorry.
- No, no.

We were bonding over our dads.

That's something
that I told you in confidence.

We did bond, dude. I'm sorry, okay?

I just figured
you would've told her yourself.

We got... we got to be transparent here.

Okay? We got to clear our names
so that we can find the guy.

I gave Snow my phone.
I told her to dig all she wants.

My dad always played cards up
during an investigation,

and I-I just kind of figured
you would do the same.

Jake! I was trying to help!

Jake!

O'Reilly.

I know you don't know me,
man, but I promise

I was just trying to help.

No, I-I... I just... I want
to say that I-I get it.

You know, I...

I remember the firebug they
caught in Hesby years ago.

I'm sure that your dad

was just as pissed as my parents were.

It was all he talked about for weeks.

(SIGHS)

You did the right thing.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Seriously.

Now isn't the time
to go down memory lane, Bode.

I wasn't, Cap.

VINCE: Only a few minutes

from having a clear path
to the stairwell.

Sounds like we're getting
to Danny real soon.

I don't know. Maybe
I should've sent him to therapy.

I just... I thought
it would make things worse.

It's not your fault.

It was nobody's fault.

See? This is why
we shouldn't talk about it.

I don't mean to pry,
but maybe you need to talk about it,

even if it's painful.

I tried at first, but it seemed
to just make him hurt.

Hmm. And then he wouldn't
come out of his room.

Sometimes you got to keep
asking questions.

When do you take no for an answer?

After a month? Six months?

A year?

Hold on. How long
has Danny been in there?

All right, my boys,
you make sure that fire

doesn't get to the tree lines.
You got that?

Copy that.

- Hey, Cap.
- What's up?

- You get cell service out here?
- Why?

Look up Collin O'Reilly.

Ah, come on, Bode. We're working, man.

Captain, Jake's rep is on the line.

Maybe his career. I know...

I know you don't want
to be in on this, but you are.

Look, man, there can literally
be thousands of Collin O'Reillys.

Yeah, but there's only one Kirk O'Reilly

that's a Cal Fire legend.

Can't be that hard to look up his kid.

Fine.

Hey, Bode.

This spot.

Soon as it's safe,
I'm gonna send you two in,

but stay clear of this area right here.

That's where most of the a*mo is stored.

GABRIELA: Chief,

Danny's PTSD is worse than we thought.

He hasn't been out of
that room in three years.

What?

How is that even possible?

And why didn't the family tell us that?

Talking's not their thing.

Oh, it took a fire for them to open up?

Apparently. Kid's had zero help
dealing with his trauma.

Huh. Locking himself up in that
room is him begging for help.

All right, Lee, Norris,

be prepared to bring
this kid out any way you can,

on or off his feet.

- Yes, sir.
- JAKE: Oh, hey, Chief?

You know an uncooperative
patient is a liability.

Okay. You got a pitch?

(SIGHS) I understand
what Danny's going through.

I feel like I understand
how to get him to come out.

Send me.

COLLIN: I've been inside before.

I know the layout. I can guide him.

VINCE: All right. Do it. Go.

Hey, according to the Internet,

Kirk O'Reilly didn't have any children.

(SIGHS) I knew it.

There was no Hesby arson. I made it up.

- Why would you do that?
- Collin's a liar.

Why would he lie about
being Kirk O'Reilly's son?

Cap, the truck's on fire.

Whoa, whoa.

Command, this is Three Rock.

We got a vehicle on fire
on the Charlie side.

Is anyone in it?

(GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

Come on. Who are you?

Turn around.

Let me see your face.

Don't be Jake. Don't be Jake.

put out those spots!

Let's go! Let's go!

Cars don't just burn like this.

One car did recently.

That developer's SUV from
the Wallace Development fire.

Arsonist put some sort
of accelerant under it.

Who has a drip torch
in their personal vehicle?

I don't know, man.

Cap...

I think this is the arsonist's truck.

Good job. Tell me, what do you feel?

Huh? What do you feel? Yeah.

COLLIN: Jake, we really got to go!
We have to move!

Last thing I need from you.

- The g*nshots are gone.
- Exactly.

They're gone, which means

- So?
- He must've driven himself here.

Cap, I-I think this is his truck.

Wait, just because he lied about
his dad, you think he's the arsonist?

No, no, that's not just a random lie.

Collin transferred here from Arizona.

How many people do you know
that live in Edgewater

that have Arizona license plates?

Uh, I-I don't know.

He wants to be... he wants to be
seen as something that he's not:

a hero with hero's blood.

This is the kind of mentality of someone

who sets fires so they can be
praised for putting them out.

And he ratted out Jake.

- Why else would he do that?
- All right, all right.

I got a friend in the sheriff's
department, all right?

I'll see if she can run
those plates for us.

In the meantime, get back
to work and help out your boys.

Damn it. (CLEARS THROAT)

All right, just down the stairs,
and we're home free!

You hear that, Danny? We're almost out.

I'm trapped with limited visibility.

Copy that. On the second.
Sending help now.

- Hey, hey!

- Wait!

- What do you mean, wait?
- You're not going in alone.

Two in, two out, probie.

Mask up. You're going with him.

Go!

Is Jake still inside?
I thought I heard a mayday.

VINCE: Not for long.
We're going to get him.

- What?
- There's real evidence now.

I don't know how long it is

until they tie his fingerprints
to the scene, but it's coming.

We got to get him to come clean,
to tell us everything

so we can help,
so we can get him a lawyer.

BODE: Hey, Jake's being set up.

No, Bode. There's too much evidence now.

No, Mom, Cap and I looked into it.

Why can't anybody in this family
just stay out of it?

It's not Jake.

He was at the scene,

and he lied to me about it, and
then he looked the other way

when a drip torch went missing
from the station that ended up

- on the scene.
- Drip torch?

SHARON: It certainly
could be one of ours.

I'm telling you, Collin's
lying about who he is.

He pointed the finger at Jake,

and his car is packed with
accelerant and drip torches.

His personal car.

Why-why is he even here today?

Are we sure that's his car?

(PHONE CHIMES)

Yeah, those plates came back.

Truck's registered to Alex Shawcross.

That name supposed

Jake, where are you?!

Jake?

(GRUNTS) Yeah, I'm here.

Jake, are you okay?

Yeah. I nearly was a newspaper

You'll be happy to know
it's not Crawford's.

Let me guess. They belong
to Collin O'Reilly,

aka Alex Shawcross?

Always one step ahead of me.

Well, you had your
investigation, we had ours.

There's some evidence here
that you're gonna want to see.

I'm on my way.

CHP should b*at me there.

(GASPING, GRUNTING)

We got to Jake just in time.

- What?
- No, we didn't. He got himself out.

Get him some O .

Hey, hey, hey, back up,
back up, back up.

O'Reilly,

Captain Perez is gonna check you
for smoke inhalation.

Go.

Got to check you out,
Collin. Turn around.

Oh, whoa! What's going on, man?!

- Who's Alex?
- The arsonist.

What?

COLLIN: Come on, man!

What's going on?!

I promise it's just a mistake.

SHARON: No, this is not a mistake.

Our only mistake was hiring you

and taking you at face value
that you were a nugget.

JAKE: Hey.

He's not Kirk O'Reilly's son?

Not even close.

He's just a guy who gets off
on trying to be the hero, right?

Excuse me! Behind you!

You manufactured evidence
to point at Jake.

JAKE: You inventing a trauma

just to bond over is sick, man.

You're sick.

I welcomed you into my house.

You messed with my family.

Made us question one of our own?

No.

Actually, that one's on me.

Jake...

I am sorry. (SCOFFS)

You know, you're just a coward.

BODE: You had to
know that at some point,

somebody was gonna see
Kirk O'Reilly's obituary

and figure out that
he didn't have any kids.

What can I say? (SIREN APPROACHING)

The bigger the lie,
the bigger the thrill?

Get him out of my face, Manny.

Pleasure, Chief. Let's go.

So the real arsonist was
under your nose the whole time,

but you two accused me.

Why?

One lie and a mistake I made
as a kid makes me an arsonist?

Negates all of the trust
that I've built with you?

No, no! I hated every minute of this,

but those clues...
They just kept coming.

Why... why were you
in Drake County? Why?

You're still asking the wrong question.

- Oh, but for what?

I mean, I pulled it off,
and all anybody could see

was how I failed to save Danny.

Well, I hate to break it to you, probie,

but literally nobody saw that.

What do you mean?

I went up
and came back down without him.

That's your story, not the story.

Danny's story is he didn't die today.

His mom's story is
she almost k*lled her son

because she refused
to talk about this tragedy.

For me,

just another day at work.

Oh, no. You're moving out, aren't you?

Yes, ma'am, I am, but...

No. This, uh...
this arson investigation,

it made me realize
just kind of how enmeshed I am

in everything Leone, you know?

- Ah, and you don't love that?

Yeah, I'm just saying that...
I tried to focus on work today,

and I just kept getting sucked
back into the personal,

it's time to draw a line.

Well, boundaries are a good thing.

in your boss's living room is

the exact opposite, so I got to go.

Jake will forgive you, right?

He will. You just...

You got to give him some time.

Smells so good.

You know, when you and I
were growing up, man,

we were so close.

Everybody always said
we were like brothers.

Family's... family's never easy.

Yeah, well, I kept saying
I wasn't the arsonist.

Pretty easy.

no questions asked,

blindsided by this secret

Yeah, exactly, as a kid, Bode.

But what have I done
since then to deserve this?

Anyway, Jake, what...
what else don't I know?

A lot, Bode.

A lot.

It's not that I don't appreciate

that your parents
covered up the fire I started.

It's just that I wish
someone would've asked me why I did it.

Why did you set the fire?

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

I had just found out

that my dad was having a baby
with another woman.

Man, I was terrified...
that he was going to leave us.

(SIGHS)

So the fire was a cry for help?

I never told anyone that, man.

Because when you're

and you learn your dad's secret...

...but then he dies...

...you keep that, Bode.

And ever since then,
I really don't know the line between

what to keep and what to share.

I'm so sorry.

I-I... I don't care, man.
No, I believe you.

No. Come on.
