Fire Country

Previously on Fire Country...

A few months ago, I went to the doctor with a headache,

and I left with a brain aneurysm.

Is there anything you can do?

Surgery, but not sure I want to do it.

- What? What is it? - Oh, it's just someone

accusing you of breaking into their house,

like, ten years ago.

This guy's not lying.

I never knew his name, but

I recognize his face.

He's telling the truth.

Thought we'd head up the 101.

You think you can keep up?

You gonna put me through my paces?

You have no idea.

Let's go, Malcolm!

- Hey, dig deep, bro. Let's go. - This was my shot.

Good. You don't need this anyway.

You'll find a new job.

Any station would be lucky to have you.

I-I-I want him to take the Cal Fire test

and get a position here.

Jake? I got your message.

Violet Mitchell.

Marry me?

Ten years ago,

a homeowner by the name of Danny Marks alleges

that you broke into his house.

You were high, searching for valuables.

And according to him, he confronted you.

The hell you doing in my house?

Get out of the way.

Cops are on the way, you son of a bitch.

Get out of my way.

But you are the one who assaulted him.

Knocked him out.

In his words, "Might as well have left me for dead."

He was posting it all over our socials,

until we turned the comments off.

He was also calling headquarters,

- but we're shutting it down. - He's trying to reach me.

Hey, we're shutting it down.

I-I told you, I did this.

Bode, if you say that, okay?

If you cop to this,

there's a damn good chance you'll go back to prison.

Is that what you want to do?

No, it's not what... No.

- I-I need to make it right. - Stop.

Stop.

We'll make it right. Me, Cal Fire, okay?

By shutting it down.

You don't have to do anything. All you have to do

is go out of town.

Go give Jake a hell of a bachelor party. Go have fun.

Forget this ever happened. Let me handle this.

This is what I do.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah?

Get out of here.

Yes. Ugh.

Wow. Alexei.

That bomber of yours

might be vintage, but she can move.

Yeah. I have a little bit of a-a fixer in me.

When I see a great bike, no matter how broken down she is,

I got to try to get her up, back out on the road,

and then, I'm gonna...

then I'm gonna fall in love.

Well, I'm really glad to get back out there with you.

On the road, I mean.

Good.

You know, I wonder if you'd want to go for a longer ride.

Something more scenic.

Like a trip for you and me?

Well, and-and my bike club.

Oh. Are you in the Edgewater Motoriders?

Right. Every year, we take a couple of weeks

for a road trip. Last year, it was Mount Rushmore.

Whew. It was majestic.

- Do you know it took 14 years to carve it? - No.

But I'd really like to see it someday.

Well, this year, we're doing

Utah, Arizona, New Mexico.

You ever been to Monument Valley? It'll change your life.

I would love to, but I'm so busy here at work,

and then, I have the restaurant, and Bode,

and Jake's getting married next week.

All right. Well, think about it.

No. No, that's not it.

To make this fundraiser work, we need

- a big boot. - Oh, shoot.

I guess I'll get someone on it immediately.

Also, from our large donor.

Okay, big spender. You might want to

save some of that for the bachelor party.

Uh, no, that's not from me. That's from Francine.

Francine? Francine Francine?

I th-thought you all weren't talking.

We weren't.

We're not. It's, um,

it was, like, a couple texts.

And a phone call.

Two phone calls.

And we're back in it.

No. She just wanted to donate.

To the big boot charity.

We're just friends.

I promise.

Prove it.

Maybe you should put yourself out there this weekend.

You just never know who might be interested.

Uh... Excuse me. Hey.

- You got a minute? - Hey. Thanks, buddy.

- Appreciate it. - Yup.

Uh, not exactly. We're about to have a station

full of civilians for this fundraiser.

Okay, this probably isn't a good time to ask you for a favor.

What the hell. What's-what's the favor?

Okay, Cole... getting him a job at 42.

Listen, I need this, he needs this,

and you know that he's qualified.

And it would be really great for Three Rock's reputation.

Eve, it's a no-go.

Sharon already pulled the trigger on somebody else.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

- Yo, Jake. - Malcolm.

Take a shot. Bode is almost here,

so it is time to get into party mode.

Here is to you coming to my bachelor party

and to joining 42.

Wait, y-you told them, right?

Uh, yeah. Let me help you. And I am planning

on making the big announcement this weekend,

with all of us together.

You really like making a show of everything, don't you?

Well, lil' bro, you are learning.

Oh, hey. That's Bode.

He's waiting downstairs. Let's roll.

Good man. Knock it back.

Mmm.

Ooh. Ha!

Have you heard anything about your mom hiring somebody at 42?

No.

Are you gonna be like this

the whole drive down to San Francisco?

- I don't know how to do this. - What?

Ignore what's going on with Danny Marks. I...

I can't just keep my mouth shut.

Okay, well, Luke said that he'll handle it, so let him.

Let me get away with a crime?

That what you'd tell the guys at Three Rock?

I'd tell them to do good time.

Okay.

Let's keep this between us, all right?

It's Jake's bachelor party. He doesn't need to know.

Sure. Between us.

- What up? - Come on, get in. You ready to roll?

You guys ready to roll? Come on, get in.

Let's get ready to rumble!

Oh, my God.

Okay, but, wait, wait.

What-what do you mean you're not backsliding with Francine?

What is this, your second time as her ex?

I mean, what you gonna do? You gonna date her a third time?

- The Eve cycle continues. - Don't... Okay, y'all can shut up about the cycle,

- or whatever the hell you talking about. - I'm just, you know.

- Jake's on a cycle. - Seems like Eleanor's

picking up on something you're missing.

Oh, oh, now I'm missing something?

Malcolm, go join your friends over there.

- Hey, don't be mad. - Let me throw my damn axe.

- Yeah, throw that axe. - Yeah, let me teach you boys.

Check out the form. Here we go. Oh, boy.

- Yo, you guys suck. - You made me miss.

Chug! Chug!

- Chug! Yeah! - Throw it.

Ooh.

Hey, hey, hey.

- Watch where you're going. - Look at this clown.

Yo. Hey.

Your boy needs to sober up a little bit

- if he's gonna be throwing axes. - Okay, mother.

Piss off.

Hey, Bode, Bode.

It's not worth it, bro.

Can you believe these guys?

I'm-a go, I'm-a go get some air.

- All right. - All right.

My name is Danny Marks.

Ten years ago,

I was attacked by a guy who broke into my home.

They're calling this guy a hero.

I've been reaching out to Cal Fire,

but they're ignoring me.

So, Bode Leone...

...if you're listening...

- ...I'm talking to you. - No, man. Not at Jake's bachelor party.

- You're not gonna be on your phone, okay? - Look.

- What? - Bode,
