Previously on Fire Country...
After this, I would love to buy you a dinner,
as a thank-you.
42 needs family healing.
I'm naming you the new battalion chief.
Greencrest, Chief Manuel Perez, assuming County Line I.C.
LUKE: A firefighter's career may be over.
An engine was destroyed.
All of this on your watch.
You want to tell me what's wrong?
(breathless): I don't know.
Welcome to Rapid Extraction Module Support--
-aka REMS-- tryouts. -BODE: What was that again?
About enjoying the win? Because I sure am.
A suspect is in ATF custody after confessing
to the arson event that caused the Zabel Ridge Fire.
BODE: You being the one to light up Edgewater makes no sense.
TYLER: You showed up just to tell me that?
I showed up to hear what the hell happened
the night of the fire, from your mouth.
Start talking.
(muffled shouting)
* *
RICHARDS (muffled): Bode.
You good?
Yeah.
I'm good, Richards.
Let's go.
I got to get this kid out of here.
(indistinct radio chatter)
(straining)
BODE: Do you know what it took
for me to get myself here?
To sit in this chair and face you?
Least you can do is start talking.
I... I already...
I already confessed to starting the fire.
And... it sucked.
So..
I-- There's not really that much else to say.
Really?
How 'bout why'd you do it?
Or, you know, h-here's another one:
Why did you let me point the ATF in Landon's direction?
Because it was his fault.
-So he did light the fire? -No.
-Are you screwing with me? -No. No, I'm not.
I'm... (sighs)
No, it...
-it doesn't matter. -It does matter.
It matters to me.
I looked out for you, I put you up in my mom's house,
and the whole time y-you knew what you did?
Yeah.
I need to hear you say it.
Take responsibility for your actions.
Okay, um... (clears throat)
I... I started the fire
that your dad died in.
You mean that killed him.
Is there anything else you wanna say to me?
Wait. It was an accident.
(scoffs)
Tell me how.
So, on, uh, on the night of the fire,
uh, Landon, he wanted to go out to dinner.
And, uh, my mom was on her way back from work.
So, I-I came downstairs and I was wearing, like, a...
just, like, a T-shirt.
He said that I looked liked a bum...
...and that if my... if my dad was alive,
that he would have been embarrassed about me.
And so...
And then he said if I...
he said if I ever wear my ratty-ass clothes
outside again, that he'd... he'd burn 'em.
Just thought if I... well, if I... if I beat him to it...
You lit your own stuff on fire?
After dinner...
I threw it all in a bin, and
torched it with a lighter.
I thought-- I thought I put it out, though. I didn't...
-But it reignited. -Yeah.
And spread. And it went to the neighbors'.
Went to the park and then it... God...
back to... back to my house. I...
(Tyler breathing heavily)
I didn't want to... I didn't want to hurt anyone.
But I did.
And you kept it all a secret,
while we looked for the arsonist.
And, Bode, I'm...
I know that it, uh, doesn't really matter...
...but I-I am sorry.
And...
and I know you wanted to know who started the fire.
So now you know.
And you don't have to...
you don't have to ever see me again.
SHARON: Okay, Station 42,
you're gonna want to buckle up for this one.
As of 6:00 a.m. this morning,
Stations 58 and 96 have headed out to the Sonora Fire
at the Fresno Kings Unit,
which means our two engines will be covering
the entire battalion for the next three days.
-Whoa. -(firefighters grumbling)
-What's the issue? -October 14, 2021.
You may recall that the last time we covered for Station 58,
we set our station record
for the most calls in a single shift at--
say it with me--
ALL: Sixty-one.
That's right. I have called in some extra bodies
to help us with the load.
It's a full moon tonight-- we're gonna break that record.
-No. -EVE: Here we go.
MANNY: No, no, no, these-these are facts.
Full moons mean more emergency calls.
-It's been proven. -EVE: Hmm.
I'd take the over on that.
-Under. -EVE: Okay, guys,
we just had a whole conversation about financial responsibility.
Okay?
-I'll take the under. -(laughter)
You in? Chief? Mullie?
-I got 20. -Uh, I wanna take the under,
but then I could jinx it. Nope. I'm staying out.
Well, you know what, I'll take the under.
Humidity's good, Edgewater's quiet.
And we don't need any more stress right now.
20 says we tie it. I'll bookie.
-Mm. -RICHARDS: I'll take the over.
SHARON: Chief Richards, welcome back.
-Full moon, right? -MANNY: That's exactly what I've been saying.
Richards and Taylor, thank you. You're gonna be with 1591.
Gomez, you're gonna be with 68.
42s, get your bets in and then
get ready for your physical training.
Three Rock, I'll be riding with you today
-for your midseason review. -What?
-Everyone's dismissed. -Hey. Wait.
Guys, go ahead, head out.
You didn't see this.
-You didn't see this. -It's good to see you, Leone.
Manny, Captain, walk with me.
(Eve whistles)
As a Cal Fire fixer, leaving a station
is like dropping a patient off at the hospital.
You never know how they turn out.
You here to see how we turned out?
See how good I look for appointing Manny as chief.
Ah, come on. There's gotta be more to you
coming here than that.
All right, you got me. I'm station hunting.
I've been at 63 for 20 years now,
in between diagnosing other stations.
Time for a change.
(alarm sounding)
-And here we go. -(Jake exhales)
Okay, you should tell Sharon.
What, that Richards is looking for a job here?
No, that you had a panic attack.
No, look, this shift, Richards...
Manny, all this pressure is just asking for another one.
I saw my doctor, and I checked out fine.
-It was a one-time thing. -Hey.
How do you know that?
The same way I know that calls
are gonna rain down from the sky.
Because I know.
You're the chief.
If you're not right, bad stuff happens.
I know that better than you can understand.
Look, it's not gonna affect my job because I won't let it.
And you won't tell Sharon. You copy?
You have really turned this around.
I mean, the burnt soil,
-and now you have carrots? -Yeah.
And even more tomatoes.
Yeah, they're all transplants from my dad's ranch.
Which I know is kind of a cheat.
Sacramento doesn't have to know that.
So far, my report states that the crops are flourishing,
and the chickens are producing.
Three Rock 2.0 is thriving.
-EVE: Yeah. -And what about your dad?
How is Elroy?
Uh, Bode told me about his vision loss.
Well, he just found out that his vision could get bad in weeks,
not months,
and he still hasn't told anybody else.
Not even your brothers?
No, he won't pull the trigger.
I don't know if he's scared
or he just doesn't want to have the hard conversations.
Mm. Maybe a little bit of both?
(laughter)
ACE: Ace wins the race!
Kiss my boots, dude!
It's easy to win when you're the only one
with the new crap-kickers.
Hey, not my fault I wore my last pair out,
leaving you in my dust.
(laughs)
Hey, Cap.
Ace's lawyer just dropped off his suit for his hearing.
-All right, thanks, Kilbane. -You got it.
Hearing?
EVE: Yeah, Ace is up for early release.
-Hey, that's great. -HARTMAN: That's crap.
We're in here for a crime that we committed together.
My parents got me a new lawyer,
says we had a raw deal or something.
(panting) Where's my hearing, Cap?
EVE: Sorry. It's out of my control, Hartman.
We've been all right, you and me.
That's over.
Whoa, Cap, he's gonna do something.
I'm gonna put you guys on different duties.
Okay? Just need you to keep your head down, do your work.
Okay? Here, take this back to the barracks.
Seems like your dad's not the only one
shying away from a confrontation?
You know, Three Rock 2.0--
like, we got a lot of young bro energy.
They just overreact,
and then they rage on the fire
and then they're fine, so...
Mm.
Took me forever to get that mud off my boots.
Pretty sure that wasn't mud.
No more pig farms, please.
Hey.
What's Chloe doing here?
-Hey. -Hi.
Um, what did you, what did you say to Tyler?
I talked to him, like you asked me.
Look, I get that you don't want it to be true,
but I can't change that Tyler lit the fire.
Do you want it to be true?
So you have someone to blame for this?
You're-you're mad at me?
I was trying to help. I'm not...
Okay, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm not mad at you. I'm not. I'm not.
I'm-I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated with the system.
Because Tyler's considering taking the D.A.'s crappy deal.
To "take responsibility."
That's not what I told him.
The opening charge is murder.
Tyler's looking at life.
He can't accept that. No,
he-he has to ask for pre-trial release,
that way he can be home while all this is happening.
I know. I know. I've done nothing but research
how to navigate this, but he won't listen to me.
And now that his name's been made public,
no-no motel in town is agreeing to take me.
The school's put me on indefinite leave.
-That's not right. -Well,
doesn't matter what's right. It matters what's real.
Can you tell me what I can do to help?
Nothing.
You-You've done enough to help.
Really. And I appreciate it. I mean it.
But nothing.
Chloe, I'm not, I'm not looking...
I'm not looking for an out here. I'm not...
Okay. But maybe you should take one.
(alarm sounding)
Please. Bode, this is hard enough as it is.
Chloe...
Job to do, Leone.
Let her go.
(engine starts)
* *
-(alarm sounding) -(sighs)
My wife died in a fire.
Years back.
My condolences.
If it had been the result of arson...
I don't know, man.
I don't need you diagnosing me.
-I'm good now. -I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about me. I can't imagine being close
to the person that set the fire, like you and Tyler.
I saw the press conference.
("Here We Go" by Norman Sounds playing)
It's complicated.
Tyler's mom just gave you an off-ramp, if you want it.
This is the kind of baggage that can break you if you let it.
* I will grow *
-No off-ramps this shift. -* I will climb *
* To the place I belong *
* I will fight like the world's never known *
(engine starts)
* Like the world's never known *
(siren wails)
* *
MANNY: Shift like this,
each call might not be a big deal.
(shouts indistinctly)
-(truck beeping) -* Like the world's never known *
MANNY: But the adrenaline that spikes
and the exhaustion that comes after is.
The bruises and blisters that weren't there this morning.
* Through the smoke, through the ash *
* Through the flames... *
MANNY: The dirt caked on our gear.
The stains that don't come out.
* In the end *
-(alarm sounding) -* You'll remember my name *
* Remember my name *
(siren wails)
* *
* Here we go *
(siren wailing)
* Like the world's never known *
* Here we go... *
MANNY: We carry more than hoses...
* Like the world's never known... *
MANNY: ...battle more than fires.
But getting up each and every time in spite of that...
That's the life of a firefighter.
* *
(alarm sounding)
* *
* Here we go. *
* *
All right! We're gonna eat,
hydrate, get off your feet,
and for the love of God, take a shower.
You do not want to be in that con carrier,
I'll tell you that.
I pulled the file on Ace and Hartman.
So, they exploded off the bus fighting on the first day?
Yeah, we had a rough landing. But Manny decided to keep them.
Mm. But now you've decided
to keep them here, while they're still fighting.
Yeah. But, you know, um, Ace is--
he's about to get out of here.
-That's not a guarantee. -This is totally over the line.
Did you get a little present, Ace?
-Something is brewing. -Hmm? What?
-You frickin' kidding me? -What?
What, you want to go?
-Hey. Separate. -EVE: Hey!
Gentlemen, hey, what's with the noise?
Because of this! He cut up my suit.
When would I have had the time?
-I'm gonna kill you. -Try me.
-(shouting) -Hey!
Hartman, over there. Ace,
and if you think about retaliating,
you can kiss getting out of here goodbye.
Hartman...
we have raised chicken coops,
you've resurrected crops,
even cut a line to protect the town.
We've made a family here!
And so what do you want to do?
You're gonna burn all of that down for a suit and a trial?
(alarm sounding)
Okay. Let's put a pin in this.
Three Rock, let's move. Move! Now!
Greencrest, Battalion Chief Perez on scene.
We've got a garbage truck with smoke showing from the box.
We're investigating further and stretching line for fire attack.
Establishing Elmore Street command.
Smells like burnt cooking oil.
How we gonna hit it, Chief?
Uh, hoses to hydrants, nice and simple.
Bode, Jake, dump the load so we can hit it with water.
All right, let's get a hookup to that hydrant.
Bode, you're with me. Check that out.
Yeah.
(grinding)
Back's not opening.
I can't dump it out.
All right, we'll pull the burning debris
away from the truck.
Look for the source.
(metal clanking)
Hey! Got butane tanks in here.
Hey, we need hoses over here. Let's go!
(indistinct chatter)
Chief! We got more tanks cooking.
We need to knock this fire down now.
JAKE (muffled): Manny.
Manny?
Chief! Who's going in?
Perez?
Arthur, hose, quick!
-Chief! Chief, no, not you. -Hey, Manny. Manny!
Hey, Chief, what are you doing? Watch out!
-RICHARDS: Perez, are you with us? -Chief?
(groaning) Yeah. I'm good. I'm good.
I'm good.
You guys just keep working on the truck.
The rest of you, look around.
Put out any vegetation or spot fires. Go.
Battalion chiefs don't grab hoses. Or shovels.
Give me that. Force of habit.
I thought you'd have some new habits by now.
You know what, Richards?
My habits are none of your business.
Full moon's even got you a little on edge, huh, Chief?
What, are you looking for a weakness?
You got one you're trying to hide?
Not hiding anything.
But what about you, huh?
Coming back here to 42 on this covering captain BS?
What are you hiding?
Doubting my motives, Chief? That hurts.
Look, all I know is that you appointed me as battalion chief.
And now all of a sudden you're back here
looking for a spot to fill, presumably mine.
Why? Huh? Did you hear something about me?
I'm telling you, this is a dead end.
Jake, did you say something?
-Chief? -On edge. And paranoid.
-Guys, hey. Guys! -How's that for paranoid?
You're talking out your ass.
JAKE: Hey, Chief!
BODE: Hey.
I'm Bode.
MARIPOSA: He loves two things. Garbage trucks
and firefighters. So,
this is sort of his dream scenario.
-You smell like poop. -Pablo!
(Bode laughs) Yeah, no, I kind of do. Yeah.
Hey. You know,
we usually give these to kids
who are scared of fires.
But you know what? I think I can make an exception
for being brave enough to head towards one.
What do you think?
I'm gonna name him Stinky.
(laughs) I think that makes sense, little dude.
MARIPOSA: Thank you.
-Yeah, no problem. -No, I...
I saw you at that press conference.
Thank you for getting the arsonist to confess.
My cousin lost her house.
Friends lost everything.
So, thank you.
-Yeah. -JAKE: Hey, B!
We got another call.
All right. Bye, Pablo.
Bye.
Give me one of those real quick. Ah!
MARIPOSA: Come on.
This really necessary?
You want to bring all that stink in here, where we sleep?
Where we eat? No.
Feels a little motivated.
Well, so does your arrival.
You just roll through, read people, rattle cages.
-That your thing? -My thing?
And here I thought you and I were good.
Yeah, well, I thought me and Tyler were good.
Look where that got me.
You want to know why I'm here?
Ask me.
You're scoping out 42.
I said ask me.
(hose turns off)
Okay. I'm asking.
My daughter lives in Edgewater.
I want to be closer to her,
even if that means leaving the station my wife and I shared.
Leaving the house we shared.
Taking a demotion to do that?
It's the least of my issues.
I'm clean.
Give me that thing.
My turn on the hose.
Now I have a question.
You decided what to do about Tyler?
I screwed him up.
I'm having a hard time not running in to fix it.
Turn around.
What's your mom say?
She doesn't know about it.
I'm conflicted over Tyler.
My mom is not.
Yeah. So running to fix it'll piss off Chloe and your mom.
It's a tough spot.
Missed a spot.
Okay, I-I'm good, dude. I'm good...
-Are you sure? -Yeah! I'm good. I'm good.
Ah, no, I'm good. I'm good.
(quiet chatter)
You were fine when we were rescuing cats from trees,
but diving headfirst into a box of flammables...
You should've sent one of us in.
I know.
And then you blew up on Richards.
Look, Manny, you don't have to call it a panic attack, but...
look, you told me
that you wouldn't let it affect the work.
I know, Jake.
I have to tell someone.
No, you don't.
Then give me one reason why I shouldn't.
Because I will.
First thing tomorrow.
I let it affect the work.
Hey.
Okay. So,
which one says "law-abiding citizen"?
Wait, hold up. Wait a minute, those are mine.
Yeah, I have a key to your place.
-Since when? -That doesn't matter.
Uh, one of my guys needs it for a sentence mod hearing--
which is kind of ruining everything.
So, two of the guys came in for the same crime.
And one is leaving early.
And the other one's got a problem with that.
And Sharon says that I am hiding from the issue
by not making them work it out.
But, anyways, just-- Which suit?
Because I have enough on my plate
with my dad and my brothers.
She's right.
Just... stick 'em both in a room and let 'em face off.
Ace and Hartman, or my family?
Maybe both.
(sighs) Okay.
And how'd that work out for you and Tyler?
Is this you kicking me out?
Yeah.
Fine.
Hey. Go with the navy.
Thank you.
(quiet chatter)
MANNY: Hey, Chief.
-Morning, Manny. -Seen Richards?
Uh, tool maintenance.
Everything okay? A shift like this,
42 really needs its battalion chief to be squared away.
And you can always talk to me.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
(mouthing)
Richards.
47 calls in two days.
I think we might break that record.
I know you had your reasons for giving me this job,
but I never asked for it.
But since it seems like you want the title...
...maybe you should take it.
MANNY: Come on, Richards.
You've been sniffing around all shift
looking for someone's spot to take.
Let it be mine.
I know you're not actually prepared
to walk away from your duty.
It's not the work, and it's not the hours.
It's the risk.
Battalion chiefs arguably take on less safety risk
than the crew they send into danger.
Yeah, that-that's exactly what I'm saying, man.
I walk into a fire, I know that there's a chance
that I may not come out. But I made peace with that
as a probie.
Sending my crew in, man, that-that-that's...
-Heavy responsibility. -Yeah.
That weighing on you does not make you a bad fit for the job.
That-that is the job.
I had a guy walk out of a fire in pretty bad shape.
And I don't know if he's ever gonna get back on a fire line.
County Line Fire. Yeah, I heard about that.
It broke me.
It brought me to my knees, man.
And I don't know if I can...
if I can go on like this, you know?
You can.
I meant what I said.
You're not prepared to walk away from chief,
because you're telling me, instead of Sacramento.
You're not looking to quit.
You just want to know how to keep going.
Am I close?
-(sighs) -Hmm?
Okay. Two rules.
You're gonna keep your butts in the chairs.
Then you're gonna keep your hands under your butts.
Now...
talk.
Talking wasn't a rule.
Rule three-- talk.
Now.
Like how?
Okay. Ace.
You're mad at Hartman 'cause he got you locked up.
Yeah, because he made me go with him.
EVE: Okay, unless he physically
dragged you to rob that house,
I don't think that's true.
-He needed help. -To rob a house? I...
You know, a lot of people would've said no.
Why'd you say yeah?
He was my friend.
EVE: Okay, Hartman,
why'd you have the idea to rob a house in the first place?
-I was bored, I guess. -ACE: Oh, come on, dude.
Your dad lost his job and you needed cash.
My parents tried to help you out--
I didn't want charity!
Hands!
HARTMAN: To your parents,
I was always the poor kid tagging along,
mooching,
or getting their precious baby boy in trouble.
And then, when we got arrested-- you put it all on me, right?
You got anything to say to that?
(stammers)
I'm sorry.
Okay? My lawyers were putting all this pressure on me, and...
(sighs)
But nobody made me do it.
I just...
I wanted to take the easy way out.
You know, not that it really helped.
You're the one getting out early.
EVE: It is not his fault.
It's just his circumstance.
So maybe you need to stop blaming him.
Yeah, and I think my parents could hook you up
-with a better lawyer, too... -No. No. No charity.
Oh, my God. Hey.
You got somebody who wants to help you.
Now you have to let them in.
You guys, let's...
shake and make up. All right?
But you said "hands."
-(chuckles) -(Eve chuckles)
You're right. Okay? Can we just shake?
Nice.
Really?
Oh, my God.
Let's go. Great. Come on. Come on.
You know, I've never backed down from an assignment
in my entire career.
But the way this is going...
...me hesitating when it's time
to assign all the dangerous work...
(sighs)
...it makes me feel like I'm the danger.
It's how you handle the danger that counts.
Me, I have cats.
(Manny scoffs, laughs)
Cats?
That's your advice?
-Cats? -Unless you're a dog guy?
(laughs)
Oh, that's not it.
I don't care if it's... birds.
In order to do your job in this uniform,
take a look at how you spend your time out of it.
That's your duty, Chief.
(Sharon humming)
(Eve clears throat)
Is that a progress report for Three Rock?
Because, if so, I've got a little update for you.
You got Ace and Hartman to work it out?
Well, not sure Hartman will ever feel good about Ace
getting out before him, but...
(laughs) Yeah.
Because Eve Edwards
doesn't shy away from confrontation.
Not at work.
Oh, come on.
Can I at least enjoy one win
before you tell me I got to do some more homework?
-(alarm sounding) -Oh. (groans)
Uh, is Three Rock getting called?
I don't know.
There you go, boys.
Get some. Be safe.
No.
Okay, so call your dad.
Or call your brothers right now.
'Cause your family's not gonna work this out on their own.
Okay, well, what about your family?
-What about my family? -Well, is Bode
gonna go back to helping out Chloe and Tyler?
What do you mean, "go back"?
Okay, you don't... you don't know about this.
Um...
Bode went to visit Tyler, couple days ago.
(alarm sounding)
I thought you were going to talk to Sharon.
We're rolling out. Let's go.
(horn blares)
Hey, Crawford.
On it. One patient needs medical attention.
Richards, do a perimeter,
look out for any hazards we need to be aware of.
Hey, Leone, secure these two vehicles.
-Give me an update. -BODE: Yeah.
Greencrest, Battalion Chief Manny Perez on scene.
Two-vehicle collision.
T-boned, driver's side.
-Driver potentially pinned. -Okay.
-MANNY: Other driver is out. -Hey. You're out.
MANNY: Unknown if there are any other passengers trapped.
Cap, I got him.
All right, car's secured.
There's no access on the passenger side.
Battalion 1508, Firefighter 1591.
We've got a patient with moderate to major injuries
in need of an extrication.
Okay, ma'am? We're gonna get you out of here.
-(groans) -All right?
Leave me. Check on my son first.
PABLO: I'm gonna name him Stinky.
I.C., high voltage battery housing is compromised.
I am picking up a lot of heat.
-EV is going to ignite. -We have another patient
-in here! -Bode, the car's gonna go up.
Work fast.
Come on, Leone, grab him and get out of there.
Pablo.
Child occupant, rear driver's side!
Unconscious with a faint pulse.
Time's up, Leone! Pull back.
Bode. You good?
I'm good, Richards.
Let's go.
I got to get this kid out of here.
(grunting)
Need a Halligan over here, now.
Hey, get Bode a Halligan.
Hey, Chief, I know you're not rushing in there yourself again.
Just the closest set of hands.
Stay with Leone on extrication.
All right, guys, get your hoses on this EV.
Start cooling it down.
MARIPOSA: Please, get Pablo out.
Leave me if you have to.
I'm not leaving you behind.
Chief, we need some breathing room over here.
Can't let the fire spread to the gas vehicle.
MANNY: All right.
We'll attach the burning one to the engine
and start dragging them apart.
Which'll give Bode and Richards enough space to work.
-I like it. -Me, too.
-Get some. -Be safe.
(metal creaking)
-I'm not getting it. -(chains rattling)
JAKE: Damn, this is hot.
I'll grab the combi tool.
Whatever else can get us in here sooner.
(engine starts)
JAKE: I.C., EV is hooked up.
All right, copy. Leone, hold the work.
(truck beeping)
All right, Jake, give it a little gas.
(groans)
All right, let's go. Get water on it!
(groans)
(whirring)
Pablo. Pablo, you remember me?
All right. I got you, all right?
Right here, bud.
Right here. Careful. Careful.
All right, now.
Come on, buddy.
Hey.
(indistinct chatter)
Here you go.
(whirring)
FIREFIGHTER: Over here! Move!
RICHARDS: Ma'am, can you walk?
MARIPOSA: I think so.
Need a medic!
Come on. They're gonna take you and your son together.
Thank you.
* *
(gasping)
He's conscious now.
-Don't forget Stinky. All right? -Thank you.
MARIPOSA: Oh, it's okay.
It's okay. Okay? (sniffles)
EVE: Okay, guys,
we are off for the next two days.
But don't get lazy on me.
Up at 6:00 so that we can, um, do some chores.
Hey, Ace.
Wha...?
* *
You parole?
I guess you'll need your crap-kickers back.
Dude.
You took my boots?
You weren't gonna need them.
I wish you didn't.
Hey. Hey.
Movie and pizza in the rec room tonight-- Cap's buying.
-Right? -(Eve groans)
Well, I already lost 20 bucks on that bet today, so...
-Fine. That's fine. -Yes!
-Yeah! -(inmates whooping)
No pineapple.
Pepperoni.
(laughs) All right.
All right.
Drop the hose.
Come on, cleaning ain't beneath me.
Chief, if you're doing our job, who's doing yours?
The way you responded at that crash, I--
That...
that's the Manny I know.
How's that?
Making everybody else do the work
while I just stood around and watched?
Well, when you say it like that...
I hope you didn't tell Sharon.
Nah.
Richards, actually.
Told him everything.
Don't worry, you're still stuck with me.
How do you know he's not gonna use that against you?
Because...
he used it to help me.
So that's it?
The "diagnoser" cured you.
(chuckles) From where I'm standing...
I'm just getting started.
Well, then you should get to it.
Hose, now.
Whatever you say, Cap.
Have you seen Bode?
You just missed him.
Ships in the night.
In more ways than one.
You heard he's visiting Tyler.
I mean, I-I gotta stop this.
I wouldn't do that.
Why not?
Aren't you curious why I'm back here?
Everyone else seems to be.
I haven't had the bandwidth for the riddles.
I think you're here because we needed extra hands.
(sighs) And I need a home in Edgewater.
I'd like a job to go along with it.
Doesn't have to be today.
Oh.
Because we've been so hospitable?
When my wife died, I clung on to everything familiar.
Our house, our station, our vegetable garden.
My daughter did the opposite. She moved out of town,
put roots down in Edgewater, never looked back.
So grief hit you differently?
This Tyler thing is hitting you and Bode differently.
Yeah, but we're not in the same situation.
Tyler is essentially a murderer.
I am not saying they are the same.
But my situation drove a wedge between us
that lasted way too long.
She wouldn't even see me the last time I was here.
What makes you think she's gonna see you now?
I don't know.
But I heard she's getting a divorce,
so I'm gonna be here if she needs her dad.
Like I should have been back then.
There was already a wedge between us and Bode
that went on for years.
That's why I'm saying.
Find a way to agree to disagree, if you can stand it.
I don't think that I can.
You know, you're the only person
who hasn't accused me of an ulterior motive.
'Cause I'm the only person who's ranked high enough
not to be threatened by you.
Here I thought we'd become friends.
Bode Leone. I'm here to see Tyler McKenzie.
-Really? -I won't give up on Tyler.
It's not giving up, Bode, it's just closing the door.
I can't do that, either.
Look, I-I got in Tyler's head in all the wrong ways.
-I know that. -Mm-hmm.
Okay? But the takeaway is that he listens to me.
And I-I can fix this.
Fix it how?
By telling Tyler he can fight for a better outcome.
To get released while all this is going on,
so he can be a kid while he still can.
Released to where?
Where? The car that I'm living out of right now?
So, you'll-you'll stay with me, then.
No, I mean it.
Why would you...
Because in... in spite of what happened...
Tyler matters.
I can... I can fight the D.A. on my own. I can.
I'm saying you don't have to.
