Fire Country

Previously on Fire Country... Come on, take my hand.

Bode! Come on! Dad!

Oh, no, no, no, Bode!

Gabriela, what're you doing?

No!

I'm alive? You better be, after I jumped after you.

You jumped? To save me?

Bode. Let's get him some help.

Yo, we need to talk. About?

You and Bode.

I promised her I would be out for her tenth birthday.

Charlie, you're not going back to prison.

Sitting on a transplant list

could take up to ten years,

so we need to take action now.

I'm not even transplant eligible.

I'll talk to your specialist, and if she says to come down

for treatments, I'll fly down and do them.

He legally changed his last name

to hide from us. Did you know that?

("Say Goodbye" by Wade Bowen playing)

Okay, gentlemen, let's get ready to do

our training with Station 42.

The thing nobody prepares you for,

when your kid's incarcerated,

is the waiting.

Can't give him a hug when we want to,

we can't even yell at him when we want to.

Don't I know it.

After we found Bode in the woods,

he got rushed away so quick,

I-I didn't get a chance to tell him that...

he made me really proud out there.

Tell him today, Vince.

Get your hopes up... (gasps)

Oh, my God, my lab results posted to that robot doctor app

that Lilly made me download.

And? They look good.

My creatinine levels are down.

Oh.

She's calling. Okay.

And then what if I just got my hopes up for nothing?

Why don't you just pick it up before I do.

Lilly, do these, um, numbers

mean what I think they mean?

Thank you.

I just became transplant eligible.

Oh...

How was your wellness check?

Oh, patient's fine,

but I did get into a fight

with barbwire and lost.

Ouch.

You, uh, hurried off this morning

pretty fast.

I jogged here, got my blood pumping

for my first day back since I've been released.

Are you sure it's not because

you're avoiding talking about Bode

coming into the station to train?

There is nothing left to talk about.

Okay?

Bode called the hospital

to make sure that I didn't die saving him.

You and him are slowly remembering

that you were like brothers,

and we are one big Cal Fire family together.

Right?

You... you know what?

For a first-year, you really have

the camaraderie thing down pat.

When I saw you jump...

I-I-I don't know, I just...

Look, all I saw was you jumping for Bode.

Baby, can we please just not open up

this can of worms right now.

Listen, listen, what I'm trying to say is that...

What I should've seen was you.

Gabs, your bravery,

your dedication, your-your talent.

Look, I've said a lot of things before,

I just wanted to make sure you heard me say that, too.

We'll finish unpacking the rest of my stuff tonight,

when we go home together.

As small-business owners, learning to use

a fire extinguisher in the moment that you need one

is, obviously, not ideal, so

we're gonna start a controlled fire today,

teach you all how to put it out.

Gabs, would you like the honors?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Donovan,

are you gonna join us?

Hey, hey, I got him.

Hey.

Do me a favor?

No more falling off of bridges,

at least for today, okay?

Must be weird being back in the station.

Not as weird as having you as my teacher for the day.

I'm-a kick your butt.

I thought it was just fire apparatus tool safety.

Ooh, you gonna

find out today.

Let me go set up.

You have four new messages.

Manny Perez, your auto insurance

is two months behind.

Please give us a call back

as soon as you receive this message.

This is Humboldt Mutual Bank calling to see how

we can help your overdue credit card payments.

Please give us a call back at this number.

1-800...

All right, everybody, listen up.

Got an announcement to make.

Our very own Charlie

paroles on early release today at noon.

Yes, sir!

Two more hours with you clowns,

but who's counting?

All of us, man. We're all counting.

You know, if Charlie had stayed in prison,

he'd still have six months left on his sentence,

but because he worked this program,

he gets to go home early to his family today, huh.

Charlie! Blazing a trail!

Come on, man, get out of here already, will you.

All right, y'all,

I hate to bore you on your last day,

but today we train in routine safety protocol during a fire.

Should be useful,

since my application to Cal Fire is officially in.

Hey, hey, hey, nothing funny

about one of us doing what we already doing,

but on the outside,

for more pay.

More chances to help people.

It's difficult to try and get your record expunged

to qualify, but

Cal Fire will be lucky to have you, Charlie.

Yup.

That means a lot,

coming from the heir to the Leone fire legacy.

I didn't know they took geriatrics.

I got some geriatric right here.

All right. Hey, hey, hey.

H-Hold up, though. Let's all show Eve

how we like to start our day.

You ready?

One, two!

Three Rock! Let's go.

I like this energy!

It's open.

Mrs. Leone?

Cara. (chuckles)

You're just swinging by

your ex-boyfriend's mom's house on a whim?

I brought you soup.

Aw, I have kidney disease, not the flu.

I'm transplant eligible now.

Honestly, I was next door

getting my mom's house ready to sell,

and I had to do something with my hands

other than cry over old photos.

And you always loved her soup.

I did. Thank you.

You can put it right there. Me and your mom used to joke

all the time that we were raising Romeo and Juliet

with how often you and Bode would sneak out

on school nights.

You knew about that?

Moms see everything, Cara.

I'll see you around, Mrs. L.

So taking care of your chain saw can save you

a huge amount of time in the field.

Chain is nice and tight,

as it should be, Charlie.

This is excellent maintenance.

Better than most of my first-years.

I mean, you're a natural.

Yo, Charlie, what's the first thing

you're gonna do when you get out?

In-N-Out?

Movies? What?

Hug my grandkids.

Ha-ha, that's my man.

Okay, Grandpa,

what're you gonna miss most about fire camp?

Is it me? Say it's me.

Bode's family soap opera.

Whoo!
