03x07 - False Alarm

[bunniefuu]

- Previously on Fire Country...
- You do have to choose

what kind of firefighter
you're gonna be.

Me and my man send each
other long-distance dreams.

- That we'll settle down together.
- I get that.

Your captain's pulling your crew.

You heard him. Move out.

You want to be a serious
firefighter, Leone?

Or you want to, uh, be distracted

by whatever misguided cause your friends

are all putting
themselves in danger for?

What's it gonna be?

I'm with them.

I was jealous of Audrey.

- Oh, I know.
- I didn't want to be, but...

That the push you need

to commit to Bode?

I can't keep waiting for maybe someday.

"Maybe" to me is the same thing as...

as "No."

We're done.

GABRIELA: Tequila.

Neat.

[CAMERA CLICKING]

- 100!
- Okay, switch places.

- Good job, man.
- Yo, whoa.

Are you taking pics?

No, it's... No, no, no.

I know this may seem
weird, but I'm just getting

some premium app content,
you know what I'm saying?

"App content"?

Yeah, app content.

You know, like Heart Me,

Hot Toast, Come For Dinner,

Stay For Breakfast,
those kind of things?

JAKE: Okay, what she
means is dating apps.

The answer, still... love you, but no.

All right. Intervention time.

Gentlemen, we got to go outside.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Okay? Because if you want

to date people, we can't just keep

hanging out with each other.

- It's just math.
- [LAUGHS]

The only girl I'm thinking about is Gen.

And I'm getting her
from the airport today,

which means nothing but kayaking and...

[GASPS] Mario Kart.

- Hmm.
- Yeah, no dating apps.

And I just ended things with Gabriela.

Oh, that's so sad. Okay.

I wish you all could hear yourselves.

Let's... why don't we switch priorities?

I am.

Casey's pass list gets
posted sometime today.

Graduation's tomorrow.

See? Boom. [CLUCKS TONGUE]

- That's wonderful.
- Hey.

Do you guys think
that it's weirder if...

[CLEARS THROAT] Gabs does or
doesn't come to the ceremony?

Hmm. Let's think apps.

Not Gabs.

Just think apps.

- [LAUGHS]
- Huh, she's really upset.

Do I smell sauce?

Oh, this is perfect timing.

[GASPS]

My appetite is back.

And my shoulder is stable,

just like my moods.

Thanks to my new best friend,
hormone replacement therapy.

And Bode's graduating.

[CHUCKLES] It's a damn good day.

Training Program pass list
doesn't post until later.

- With Bode's name on it.
- Yeah.

Unless you're here to tell us otherwise?

No. No, actually, I'm,
uh... [CLEARS THROAT]

here about this.

Hoping you can return it to Gabriela?

Why do you have her license?

We got in some drinking the other night

and she really got into
it, uh, left that behind.

Are you, um...

reporting something to her
two chiefs, Captain Casey?

No. Not at all. I made
sure she got home safe.

Why not just return it to her yourself?

CAMDEN: She spilled her feelings

and I figured it would be best

to not embarrass her any further.

So, you're giving it to her bosses?

- Feelings about what?
- Okay, uh...

I don't drink and tell. Sorry.

Should we be worried

Malibu Ken's not gonna graduate Bode?

You know, I always love
starting off my shift

with some good news.

So tomorrow, one of our own is

expected to graduate from
Edgewater Training Program.

Mr. Bode Leone will be joining Cal Fire.

- [WHOOPING]
- EVE: Right? [LAUGHS]

The cherry on top is that

we have gotten the "Yes,
please" from Cal Fire

to cater graduation, so...

we're gonna cook some burgers,
we're gonna fold some napkins,

it'll be a little glimpse into what
your future could be, all right?

KOSUGI: Cap. Bode's out...

- he can get burgers any day.
- EVE: Mm-hmm.

What he can't get is
good, old-fashioned spread.

MANNY: What, you don't
think he can get his hands

on some shelf-stable meat
or some freeze-dried noodles?

I'm just saying, he...

he's got to get nostalgic
for Three Rock home cooking.

All right, let's take it to a vote.

Are you serious? Cap, come on.[LAUGHS]

- All in favor...
- MANNY: We're doing this.

... of some prison
spread, raise your hand.

Okay, great. So,
instead of cutting line,

we'll cut up whatever we can find at 42.

Whoo! We got some chefs up in here.

I like that.

SHARON: You're on again today?

Ooh, that's a lot of shifts, Gabriela.

Yeah, I am a few weeks of OT away

from wiping out my wedding debt.

Captain Casey asked
me to give this to you.

He should've come straight to me.

He said there was
some drinking together.

Just drinking. Nothing else.

Not that it's anyone's
business. [STAMMERS]

Are you asking for Bode?

I'm asking because he basically
reported it to a chief.

[SIGHS]

And what is that?

I-I got cut at the climbing gym.

Come on.

Sit down.

Okay, so...

you're working nonstop.

That's followed up with

late nights drinking.

Not nights. One night.

My dad's a recovering alcoholic.
I don't take that lightly.

Okay. I hear that.

[WINCES] And then,
there's this mystery wound.

Not a mystery. I told you, climbing gym.

Right, that let you walk
out of their facility

with an open wound.

Bad news, Jamesy.

Fury and I were not a love match.

You'll have to find a new cat-sitter

next time you want to leave.

Well, I'm not going
anywhere anytime soon.

Boyfriend decide to
finally move out here?

Opposite. He broke up with me.

Turns out, Steve was, uh,

banking on me failing the program

and never having to make
the move at all, so...

Feels great.

- Sorry.
- Don't. Don't with the...

sorries and the sad eyes and all that.

He was an a*s

in sheep's clothing, and
at least I know that now.

Never met a Steve I liked.

That's the spirit.

[CAMDEN CLEARS THROAT]

Leone.

Still showing up?

- Yeah, it's my shift.
- A shift with no point.

- What? Why?
- James.

Name five reasons a cadet
would not graduate tomorrow.

Uh, failing to pass academic tests,

behavioral issues,
defying captain's orders...

There you go. Stop.
That one. Yeah, that one.

That one sounds a lot like Leone
at the San Medina eagles call.

He listened to his dad
instead of his captain.

As a cadet, you're part
of my crew, not 42's.

You know, a different training
captain might let that slide,

but, uh, not me.

I'm not graduating?

♪ ♪

You said that I had what it takes to be

- the best of the best.
- You do.

It's a damn shame your entanglement

with everyone around
you is gonna keep you

from reaching that potential.

I mistook a hometown
hero for a maverick.

Breaks my heart.

DISPATCHER: Station 42.

Commercial fire alarm sounding.


James, gear up.

Yes, Cap.

Leone.

You defying orders again?

I didn't hear any order not to work.

This is my last shift.

Time to prove you wrong.

Really think you can hit a grand
slam in the bottom of the ninth?

Respectfully, Cap,

I'll die trying.

Bode has to graduate. I'm
gonna get into this with Casey.

You know, all of that
mood stability I gained,

I'm afraid that I might've
stolen it from you.

So you're not the least bit worried?

Oh, no, I'm worried that
you "getting into this"

with Casey might hurt
Bode more than help.

So, I think, you stay,

and you sauce, and I'll go,

and I'll fight fire today.

Dude, this is your last shot,

all right? Nail this call,
impress the boss man, graduate.

You can bat your eyes at her tomorrow,

as a firefighter.

[SIREN WAILING]

[HORN BLARING]

[FIRE ALARM BLARING]

Dank Account?

I didn't know Edgewater
had a sense of humor.

Not a great one.

[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING]

Fire department!

We're here for the alarm.

No fire, no smoke.

Looks like a false alarm.

This from the guy who
just told two chiefs

not to count chickens before they hatch.

I am so sorry to drag
the fire department here

for a false alarm.

Chickens looking pretty hatched.

Define "false alarm."

I hit a button... a
wrong button, clearly...

yeah, on the new system, and
I need help shutting it off.

Captain Casey and his cadets
will reset that for you

and do a sweep of the building.

Sticking me with busy work
for my last call in Edgewater?

Oh, come on. It's just
some parting gifts for you.



- All right, Chief.
- All right, let's go!

EVE: Okay.

Grab whatever you can, y'all.

Uh, what are you doing in my kitchen?

Well, Three Rock is,
uh, catering graduation.

- Nope. I am.
- Okay.

So I was thinking we do a buffet,

'cause everybody loves a choice,

and we, uh, make it spread.

Prison spread, which is
a meal that should stay

in Bode's rearview, if you ask me.

This is to remind Bode
of how far he's come.

EVE: Oh.

Hey, what's up, man?

You good?

[JAKE SIGHS]

Apparently, Gen missed her flight.

So, she's gonna get
on the next one, right?

Rick is taking his other kids

to go camping.

Turns out she wants to stay and do that.

What? On your weekend?

She wants to be with her siblings.

What am I supposed to do?

You're supposed to call Rick

and tell him to get her
a*s on the next plane.

Well, you know, it's not that simple.

Isn't it?

- [ALARM SOUNDS]
- DISPATCHER: Station 42.

Smoke investigation,

Berryman Road west of Hesby Street.

All right, Manny, needs a constant stir.

All right, Chief.

[FIRE ALARM BLARING]

The system's back here. Follow me.

Oh, we got to check and
confirm there isn't fire first.

It's a false alarm. I told you.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you
did, but, uh, but...

humans can be wrong.

Isn't that right, Leone?

So, we have protocol.

Cadets,

do a room-by-roomsize-up.

Feel for fire behind the walls,

smell for smoke and look
for any traces of unusual heat.

No hot spots.

Open truss, no void spaces.

No signs of fire in the ceiling.

That's because there's no fire.

Looks like, uh...
looks like wood framing,

with fiberglass insulation over brick.

SHANE: Hey,

my budtender's ears are
being blasted by this alarm

in the back room... where
we should be going now.

This is a simple safety procedure

to rule out signs of fire.

Uh, you can tell them to
step outside until we're done.

What's next, Cap?

[LAUGHS] You think
you're gonna impress me

by following orders now?

You called me a "hometown hero."

Maybe I am.

You think it's a bad
thing that I give a crap

about this town and the people in it?

I doubt I'll change your mind.

So what are you doing here?

The job while I still get to.

If you don't want to
graduate me, then don't.

He doesn't mean that, Cap.

I'll reapply, just like James did,

over and over again until I get it.

SHANE: Help! My coworker passed out.

Come on! Hurry!

[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING]

This call is really not a fire.

[g*n c*ck]

I told you, hmm? But
you wouldn't listen.

- We're listening now.
- Yeah. All ears.

You pulled the alarm to
lure us here, took hostages,

now you're pointing
a g*n at firefighters.

- Think this through.
- I did.

I told you to come
back here first thing.

You didn't listen, and now
we're wasting time, huh?

Take those zip ties and tie her up.

Hey, I'm their captain.

That's my fault.

Why don't you keep me hostage,

- let the others go?
- So they can call the cops?

No. [LAUGHS]

Get the door.

I'm no rat.

I won't call the cops.

I'm not dumb.

I had a plan.

Morning shifts are always slow,

so we're always understaffed.

BODE: "We"?

You work here?

Toss 'em back. Yeah.

Yup, until a year ago when I got fired.

I still haven't found a job.

I didn't know that, Shane.

Why do you think I'm doing this, Bela?

I lost my apartment.

I sold my car.

I gave up my dog.

But there in that vault is enough money

for me to grab and go
and start somewhere fresh.

You're gonna help me get in there

with your tools.

I heard you before.

About helping the people in this town?

I'm people.

Care about me.

Help me.

[SIGHS]

[GROANS SOFTLY]

A suggestion, Perez.

If you don't slow down,
you're gonna burn out.

Hit the bunks.

You and Vince practically live here.

You raised your kids here while
working yourselves to the bone.

I'll take any order,

but a suggestion is kind of
hard when it's hypocritical.

Well, that tone to your division chief

just made my suggestion an order.

Hit the bunks right now, Perez.

[CAMDEN GRUNTS]

SHANE: I'm checking on the
others, but don't for a second

forget that I have an
eye and a g*n on you, too.

Get me into that vault!

[GRUNTS]

[QUIETLY]: You see the
way he's gripping that g*n?

Yeah. He's set up for a nasty recoil.

This guy's no pro.

I can rush him myself, end this.

He's a desperate amateur.

Yeah, so he gets off
one shot, maybe two.

You throw yourself on that
g*n, I'm going with you.

No, I can't have that.

All right. We pop this vault,

just get everybody out of here alive,
same job as always.

SHANE: Hey! This is taking too long.

Faster!

[GRUNTING]

Is he gonna sh**t us?

Why do you think he has a g*n?

My parents would fall apart if I died.

And I ignored their calls this morning.

No one's falling apart if I die,

but I'm gonna make sure we live anyway.

[CAMDEN GRUNTS]

BELA: What are you doing?

Finding something to break
these ties with first.

No, Shane's gonna be so
pissed you're moving around.

[WHISPERING]: Not if he can't see me.

Spot me.

- That's acetone.
- We clean tools with it.

[AXE CLANGING]

[WHISPERING]: I'm gonna need
you to pour it on the plastic.

It'll weaken the plastic, and
I can break through the ties.

- Okay.
- Okay. Good.

Shh.

Keep going.

Damn it. [SIGHS]

It's not working.

I have trimmers

in the locker over
there to cut the ties.

Okay.

BELA: Bottom left.

- Hey, what's the code?
- 420.

Oh, I should have guessed that.

[PANTING]

It's not working.

- What?
- It's not working.

No, that's-that's the
code. It has to work.

He's gonna be back soon. He's
gonna know that we've moved.

- We have to move...
- Hey, hey. Hey, Bela, look.

I know you're scared, but
you're with a firefighter.

She needs you to be calm.
I need you to breathe, okay?

[INHALES SLOWLY]

- [EXHALES]
- [EXHALES] Good.

Are you sure that's the code?

Wait. Wait. No, no. My bad.

"Zero-420."

Bingo.

Yes.

[MOUTHS]

[SIGHS]

What's up?

So you raised a daughter
as stubborn as you are.

- [CHUCKLES]
- And I am, uh, struggling to find a way in.

Why? What's going on?

She's working nonstop, and
she's partying really hard,

- with Casey, of all people.
- H-H-Hold on. I'm playing catch-up here.

My point is, I'm trying to help her,

and I-I... I cannot find a way in.

You know? I'm just her
chief, I'm not her mother.

Yeah, well, I was Bode's
captain, not his dad.

My daughter's in trouble.

What are you doing about it?

I gave her a place to live, I just...

- I benched her, so she would go and rest.
- And what else?

- I've...
- Sharon,

you came to me for help,
I didn't even hesitate.

I stuck my neck out for you.

I would really like to
help, but she's, like,

put herself out on this island.

So build a boat, Sharon!

C.O.: Everything good, Chief?

Oh, yeah, we're good.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You think I want to ask for favors?

I'd rather give help than ask for it,

but I'm locked up... again.

I know, and I...

I want to do this for you,
but this really isn't my...

I...

Anything that you would
do for your own son...

do for my daughter.

I don't know how to.

I'm counting on you.

VINCE: Berryman Road IC terminated.

Battalion 1508 now available.

Nobody is that happy after
putting out a vegetation fire.

What do you... what do you got?

Gen, she sent me a photo of her camping.

She's having a blast.

Good.

Really?

Because if I took your
advice and pressed Rick,

her a*s would be on the next plane.

I just think that

sometimes it's not
about what a kid wants,

it's about what they need.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Casey's pass list is up.

[SIGHS]

Bode's not graduating.

You got to be kidding me.

No. No, that's not happening. That's...

Look, Casey is Bode's training captain.

He must have his reason.

Maybe it's not what Bode wants, but...

maybe it's what he needs.

I'm calling Casey.

Hey, I can distract
him and grab the g*n.

You and James free the hostages.

We're on this again?

- Yeah, because there are lives at stake.
- There always are.

Protocol doesn't include being a martyr

for your crew when they're capable.

You are my responsibility,

and this is how I keep
you alive, Patrick.

What?

BODE: James is making moves.

We need to distract Shane now.

I got that covered.

Ah! Ah!

He just cut his hand trying
to get this thing open.

I can't hold a tool bleeding like this.

I-I got to get this
hand wrapped quickly.

I can't... I can't do this alone.

Use this.

Hurry.

I'm watching you.

- [SHIRT RIPPING]
- [PHONE RINGING]

Oh, so you're dumb, huh?

[GROANS]

We're lucky that Shane's a poor shot.

SHANE: I said hurry up.

Oh...

She's... she's really bleeding.

- You shot her.
- A warning shot.

No more stunts.

[TOOLS CLATTER]

CAMDEN: I'm in!

This is definitely this guy's

first time holding a g*n.

Yeah. Might not be a good thing.

He's nervous and he's got
an itchy trigger finger.

SHANE: Thank God.

CAMDEN: Big pay day.

I'm happy for you.

No, you're not.

Help me pack.

Hey.

I know what it's like to be broke.

Really broke.

To be alone.

To wake up finding yourself doing things

that you never imagined doing.

Like robbing the place
where you used to work.

No, no, no, no. [CHUCKLES]

We're not doing this.

We're not bonding. Pack faster.

Bode's not the only one
who cares about people.

I do.

And I think you do, too.

When we're done here,

you're gonna take your
money and disappear.

I'll give you a head start,

and only then will the rest of us people

get out of here, too.

Stop. Stop.

Keep-keep packing.

Shane, you don't want
anybody's death on your hands.

You think debt is bad?

Guilt is worse.

And if you think you can outrun it,

it'll run with you, I promise you.

I don't have a choice.

They-They've seen my face.

I can't let that happen.

[GRUNTING]

What was that?

- BODE: - Get down!
- Get down.

[SHANE YELLS]

You flipped on me, man.

I'm saving you from yourself.

[GAS HISSING]

Bode, no!

[FIRE ALARM BLARING]

Told you, Cap, I'm no
good at following orders.

Evacuation time.

CAMDEN: Hurry!

Shane! Shane, this
whole place is going up.

I didn't get this far to give up.

I got it!

I got you, I got you.

AUDREY: Stay here.

- Cap. Bela, let's go.
- Yeah.

CAMDEN: Everybody who wants to live,

- hit the exits, now.
- Let's go.

[SHANE COUGHING]

Shane!

[COUGHING]

Shane!

All right, so about the advice

I was dishing out earlier...

Oh, that I didn't ask for?

I just... I don't know if
you want to be letting Rick

be the one to decide everything.

If you're really trying to be her dad,

maybe you should get your
a*s on a plane to Idaho.

"If I'm really trying to be her dad"?

No, not what I meant. At all.

Jake, you've been at this for,

what, a year?

Okay, I've been flailing
at it for over 30 now.

And I'm just worried that

if you keep giving in,

Gen's gonna slip out of your life.

Says the man that ran
his own son out of town.

Deep breath.

What are you doing?

There's still a man inside,

Engines are two minutes away with water.

Does it look like he
has that kind of time?

You two are both still cadets.

you heat it up, no stir, no fuss.

Cool.

Hey, Manny? Manny?

Hey!

Uh, I saw you didn't make a dish.

- No.
- Yeah, why not?

- Come on, Cap.
- What?

One of my most complicated
inmates just graduated.

Bode's future is bright,
but you and the guys

keep shoving his past in his face
with all this "spread" nonsense.

And I don't think it's cute,
I don't think it's funny.

- I think it's kind of cruel, actually.
- Okay, well, that's not what was intended...

Yeah, well, I never intended
on doing a second tour

with Three Rock either,
but yet, here I am, right?

And I'm sorry, Cap, but I'm not...

I'm not celebrating you guys

making Bode nostalgic for the place.

Can't do that.

Okay, well, I hope it
goes without saying,

there's a locker with
your name on it here at 42.

I was kind of just, you know,

thinking about sticking
with this bartending gig.

Oh, my God, you're gonna
k*ll him with that joke.

- Dude.
- [LAUGHING]: Don't even.

CAMDEN: I hear you're, uh,

taking two of my cadets at 42.

Damn.

I must be good.

Two?

You and James.

Don't screw it up.

SHARON: So, where
to next for you, Casey?

Home. SoCal.

Um, yeah, closer to the beach.

Seagulls, not eagles, hmm?

Yeah. Unfinished business.

- Bye.
- Yup.

Well, here's to homecomings.

Jake.

Can I, uh, talk to you for a second?

Uh... [CLEARS THROAT, SNIFFLES]

Why?

So you can, uh... [SNIFFLES]

... reiterate how bad of a dad I am?

Yeah, I... I want to apologize.

Well, you know, why don't you
just keep your apologies for yourself?

Gabriela?

Honey, I have cake.

Oh, God.

Oh...

Girl.

Do you even understand
what a boundary is?!

I owe your father a lot.

Uh, he wants to look after you.

Too bad. He forfeited
that when he got locked up.

What-what are you even looking for?

Something, anything to tell
me what is going on with you.

What do you think, I'm hiding drugs?

No, that would be your kid's vice.

So if you keep wanting to hunt
around looking for problems,

go look at your own
home and leave me alone.

Yeah, you can go ahead
and get good and mad.

You're not gonna push me away.

Okay. Fine.

Then I'll leave.

Didn't see you at graduation.

You okay?

No.

You okay?

So that's a "no."

Okay, are we at a place where
we can smack-talk our boss?

Ooh, you have no idea.

[CHUCKLES]

Hit me with it.

Oh.

AUDREY: Is it bad that I couldn't
even stomach a bite of spread?

Like, what am I, too
good for prison chow now?

I got news for you. You are.

Aw.

That's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me.

You are, too, 24K.

Besides, you know, my Nonno says
that victories call for steak.

"My Nonno says."

So adorable.

Look at us.

Two inmates turned graduates.

Look at you.

What?

It's a nice dress.

[GABRIELA LAUGHING]

No, I used to want to
be Vince and Sharon.

- Uh-huh.
- I do not anymore.

No, no, no. Me, either. Screw them.

Too much? No.

Everything with me has
been too much these days.

Working,

drinking so that I couldn't feel.

And then cliff-diving...

so that I could feel something,

um, even if it was just
the smack of the ocean.

[STIFLED LAUGH]

Okay, sorry. Maybe I am too much.

I'm losing Gen to Rick.

What?

Yeah. Uh...

Rick called, and, um...

Gen wants to stay in Idaho.

She wants to enroll.

She wants me to ship her stuff.

Jake, I'm so sorry.

No, no. You know, I, um...

I keep telling myself, like,
it'll make it real, but...

You're in shock.

Yeah, I really think I
want to stay in shock,

or I might just lose it.

Okay. Change the subject.

Jake...

Please.

Okay. Um...

can you believe that we were here

not too long ago at this bar,

and I said, "I love you"? [LAUGHS]

That's a hard turn. Wow.

Oy. Okay.

It seems like a million years ago, huh?

Literally.

[CHUCKLES]

We had good times, though.

We did.
