01x21 - Backfire

[bunniefuu]

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.

MANNY: 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.

(SCOFFS)

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 .

That's all part-time.

Parole board might
view that as unstable,

leave you prone to bad decisions, dr*gs.

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... (SIGHS)

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.

VINCE: You have any idea
how long I have dreamed

of assigning my son a locker?

Mm.

Since the day he was born.

(LAUGHS) Seriously, though,

If Bode wanted to come work
here, there is so much

red tape he'd have to get through.

Hey, hey.
Cereal k*ller, chill with the milk.

Oh, I know you are one to talk,

Ms. "Leave an empty carton
in the refrigerator."

(LAUGHS)

- 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. (SPITS)

Why?

"Due to a backlog in the courts."

What the hell? (ALARM BLARING)

GREENCREST (OVER P.A.):
Station . Vegetation fire.

Vine Ridge Road.

Ooh, that's wine country.

Yeah. You want to come?

(GASPS)

Only if we can stop in the
tasting room on the way home.

You taste wine, I'll drink tequila.

(GASPS)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Mm. 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.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

There's my best man.

(LAUGHS) 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, uh, did you consider
doing a destination wedding?

These guys don't really
look like they're up

for being groomsmen.

(SCOFFS) 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.

LONNEGAN: 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.

BECK: You're not the one who's gonna

have to watch his back in a prison yard.

LONNEGAN: No. No, he ain't,

but he still has to watch
his back in here.

VINCE: 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.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

What'd you guys put in my bunk?

(LAUGHS)

Rats like cheese, right?

Bode. Don't.

- So I'm a rat?
- Yeah.

- FREDDY: Bode, don't. No!
- BODE: 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!

EVE: 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?

VINCE: All right, guys,
let's hit that tree line.

- Got it.
- Copy, Chief.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

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.

, up the tools.

We relocate to the winery.

Greencrest, this is Division .

I need Three Rock and two battalions.

GREENCREST: Copy that.

Who started this thing?

They did.

Nozzle Fire Suppression.

VINCE: You know... rich people
helping other rich people.

Ugh. Damn rent-a-firefighters.

Whose stupid backfire just backfired.

(ALARM BLARING)

You want to try and change your fate?

Show Cap who you are on this fire.

That you deserve a second chance here.

MANNY: 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.

(SCOFFS)

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.

MAN: Vamanos, guys, hurry.

We still got two fires to deal with
heading this direction.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, who's in charge here?

I was. (GRUNTS)

Santino, the grounds manager.

SHARON: 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?

(SPEAKS SPANISH)
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?

WOMAN: Head Nozzle... that's a first.

Faye Stone.

- I sent a chopper to your train fire.
- Oh.

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?

FAYE: It's not my
choice. It's my client's.

VINCE: Glad you got
your priorities straight.

SHARON: 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.

(SIGHS) 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, huh?

Still can be.

We, uh, 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.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

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.
- SHARON: 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.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

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. (SIGHS)

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.

MAN: Hi.

I, uh... (CHUCKLES)

I was supposed to meet an old
girlfriend from high school here.

I want to take her fishing,

but, uh, 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?
- Uh...

(CHUCKLES)

It-it doesn't really even hurt.

My fishing Kn*fe was just...

If I just... No, no, no, no, no, no!
Don't do that!

(GROANS) Okay, we're gonna sit you down.

- Sir, we're gonna lay you down.
- What do I do?

Call . Get me a first aid kit

and all the clean towels you have.

- WOMAN: 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.

Oh, 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.

(GRUNTS) Well...

what rhymes with "two years"?

It's not funny.

I'm not laughing, Eve. It's awful.

(SCOFFS) 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.

(SCOFFS)

SHARON: 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 -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.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, Chief, who's running the saw?

Who do you think?

JAKE: Chief, that's a power line.

Nozzle, halt all work.

- Hey, stop cutting. Stop cutting!
- EVE: Power line!

EVE: Wait, are those...

- Fuel tanks!
- Get down, everyone!

My parents.

Mom! Dad!

SHARON: Everybody okay?

This fuel fire's not.

Water's not gonna put this out.

We need foam.

That or a Co 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 Co ?

- Not enough.
- Wait a minute.

Don't winery's use Co in manufacturing?

- Right?
- He'd be the guy to ask.

We have Co canisters in the plant.

Okay, Three Rock, you go with Santino.

, 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.

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.

Uh...

- C-Come put pressure on this side.
- Okay.

Okay, ready? (OSCAR GROANS)

- Get it.
- Okay.

Are you that swimmer?

- Diver.
- Huh.

And yes, that's him. (GRUNTS)

Can I get a picture with you? (GROANS)

Totally.

I even have my medal in my backpack.

You can wear it, okay? (CHUCKLES)

Pulse is racing.

He's losing too much blood, even
with the tourniquet, which means I...

Okay. Hey, Oscar.

Huh? I'm gonna need to reach

in your wound with my hands

and pinch it with my fingers, okay?

It's going to hurt.

(GROANING)

Ah... Oh!

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.

- Mm-hmm.
- Rosanna.

I planned something
more romantic than...

than this is

for the first time she's
seeing me in 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 Co out there.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

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 Co , 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 sh*t 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 b*at yourself up.

You did everything you could.

It's the system that failed.

It always is. We good.

We good.

(SOBS)

What's wrong?

I, uh...

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 known location: Last Blush Winery.

MAN: 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?

(EXCLAIMS)

(DOOR OPENS)

Hey. This is Oscar, years old.

Kn*fe 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, uh, Rosanna .

A woman you haven't seen
in over years is your password?

Just wait till you see her.

She's gonna think I stood her up.

(TYPING)

PARAMEDIC: Hold here.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

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.
- FAYE: D.C. Leone.

- This is a $ 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.

(SCOFFS)

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.
- MANNY: 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.

(RADIO CLICKS OFF)
One of them is my son.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.)

Hey. Hi.

This is Rosanna. (CHUCKLES)

Where's Oscar?

- Uh...
- KYLE: Is he in surgery?

No, he-he's in the ER.

Oh. 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. (CHUCKLES)

Um, Rosanna,

Oscar, he...

In the ambulance,

he went into cardiac arrest,
and they-they...

they worked on him for minutes,

but he...

I'm so sorry.

Oscar d*ed.

Oscar. My Oscar d*ed?

(STAMMERING)

We were going to go fishing.
I... Oh, no.

I'm so sorry.

(CRYING)

I'm so sorry.

(SOBS)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

- Lonnegan! Troy!
- Beck!

- Beck!
- Hey!

- Beck!
- FREDDY: Man, Cap thought you escaped.

BECK: We were trying to
help Santino and his family!

Where's Lonnegan? Where's Santino?

Over there! They're in there!

Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

SANTINO: 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.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

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.

(COUGHING) 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. Let's go.

SHARON: Bode?

Oh, thank God. Oh.

Oh, 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.

(LAUGHS)

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!

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

(SHARON CHUCKLES)

(WHOOPS)

("HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN?"
BY CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL)

(DOOR OPENS) FAYE: 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.

Mm...

Ah, 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.

(RAIN PATTERING OUTSIDE)

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.

(SOFT CHUCKLE)

Not always.

Can I see it?

See what?

Your medal.

You told Oscar that you had it on you.

Yeah.

(SHORT CHUCKLE)

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 d*ed at Smokey's today.

- He walked in and d*ed.
- 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.

MANNY: Where the hell you been?

I-I know I can't be getting a write-up

so close to my parole hearing.

Ah, 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.
