Fire Country (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Fresh Prince of Edgewater - full transcript

Previously, on
"Fire Country"...

We're going to Edgewater?

My lawyer said we'd
be going to a different camp.

This is Three Rock Con Camp.

We fight fires all over
the state of California.

You do what
I tell you, when I tell you,

you'll reduce your sentence
and go home

to your friends
and your family sooner.

We never deal with
what's really going on.

Come on, Eve.

Not everything's
about Riley dying.



Gabs, don't move out here
for me.

I just told you I love you.

- Your boyfriend?
- Yeah.

So, what now?

Four years is
a long time to wait

for your real life
to begin.

Yeah, I can relate.

Sharon, he's back.

Manny, give us the room.

Hi, Mom.

Bode.

What the hell
are you doing here?

♪ Happy birthday to you

♪ Happy birthday
to you ♪



♪ Happy birthday, dear Riley

♪ Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, baby.

So, to you guys.

I'm so lucky to
have you as parents.

And to Eve,

I remember the day
that you moved here.

Ah...

We were like nine years old.

I marched across the street.

And you were like...

"I'm Riley, you want to be
best friends?"

Exactly.

- And you have been.
- Yeah.

Jake,

you know,

Bode never wanted to
share you growing up, but...

over the years you've become
a good friend of mine, too.

Aw.And I'm really grateful.

And to my big brother
Bode, you, uh...

You fought your way through
a really tough year.

With the baseball injury

and all of the mess
that went on with it...

The pills and the rehab.

You fought some demons
and you won.

I love you, big bro.

Love you, too.

Okay. Cake time.

- Riley, I...
- Please just go.

Because I have to go back

over there and act happy

because it's my birthday.

Ri, what's up?

Are you and Jake together?

We were, yeah.

But we're not anymore.

I didn't...

...want to tell you, or anyone,

until it got a little
more serious, but...

Turns out, Jake wasn't
serious at all, so...

Now I am the idiot
crying on her own birthday.

Can you just please
not tell Mom and Dad?

I'm so embarrassed.

Pull over. Let me out now!

Bode!

Riley!

- Hey, stop!
- Are you crazy?!

That's what you told
Riley, isn't it?

After you dumped her.

It's my fault
that she died,

but it's on you that
she died with a broken heart.

He made a mistake.

This... this is
so far beyond a mistake.

Okay? He went to prison,
he's in prison.

No, he is in
the conservation camp now

because of his good conduct.

Yeah, day one here
at fire camp and what?

He...
gone rogue already.

To save a firefighter.
To save Jake.

You want to send him
back to prison for that?

He is unable to follow basic orders.

Yeah. Okay.

I followed one order
pretty well, didn't I, Dad?

Well, I think I'm all caught up.

Good news is,
whatever happens next

is not up to you,
it's up to me.

He may be your son...
but he's my inmate.

You can't send him back.

Sharon, you just heard
what he said, okay?

- It's not your decision.
- All due respect, Chief,

I'm in charge of
all my inmates,

including Bode.

I'll collect
the incident reports

from the Buckeye fire,
then I'll make my decision.

Send me to Valley View,

or High Rock,
anywhere but here.

I'm not taking requests, Bode.

There's a process here.

Manny, he's my kid.
That's my boy.

So imagine if it was Gabriela.

- Chief...
- No.

He's a liability, Manny.

Having him on a hand crew

puts everybody's
life at risk.

Yours, too.

You heard him.

I'm a liability.

Transfer me.

Look, man.

I can't work
the fire camp program

because the baggage
I have here...

But I want to work it.

Hey.

You headed home?

What was Bode talking about?
What order did he follow?

Hi, Chief.

Not here.

- Okay?
- Why?

You're worried people are
gonna stare? I don't care.

Yeah, you do.

Fine.

Let's go home.
We'll talk there.

Look, it's been
a long day. I just...

I don't want to make it
any longer for you, okay?

Our marriage has survived
way worse than long days.

We always come out
the other side.

You're really
not gonna tell me?

I'm... just a little worried
about your stress level.

Well...

You should give me a call
when you're ready to talk, then.

Come on.

Hey, Chief.

Are you two okay? What? Oh. Yeah.

Always. Bode's been gone
since Riley died,

and now he comes back?

Where the hell has he
been all this time? Prison.

Before that, he didn't say.

Mm. No surprise there.

Hi, Jake,
how's the, uh, pain?

My foot's fine.

These are damn
solid boots, Chief.

That's good to hear.
I was talking about your shiner.

Look...

Manny is gonna want
an incident report

from both of you guys.

Do not hold back.

He needs to know
if his inmate is dangerous.

Baby.

Eve. Hey, Gabi.

- You guys okay?
- Mm, hey.

Eve saved me out there

at the Buckeye fire.
You should've seen it.

Did you hear Bode's back?

From prison.

Oh.Yeah.

Hi, Bridget.

Hi.I know you were

just about to say that
you're happy for Vince and I

that our son is back,

and that he's thriving
at the fire camp.

Are those scones that I smell?

Fresh out of the oven.
I'm Aydan. I'm new.

Yeah, you're from San Francisco.

And you worked at Chez Panisse.

We're all wondering
what you're doing here.

And there are rumors you're gonna take

onion rings off the menu.

It's a super gossipy town.

You just got to be able
to deal with that.

I'm Sharon.

- Hi.
- So...

I got to come to Smokey's now
to run into my own wife?

And that super handsome man
across the room is my husband.

Hi.

Did you, uh, stay
at the hotel last night

or at your sister's?

My sister's doesn't have
room service

and I needed snacks

wondering what
this awful secret is

that you won't tell me.

And stalking our incarcerated
son's records in the system.

He legally changed
his last name

to hide from us.

Did you know that?

You know, I stayed up
all night, too.

You two want
to sit together?

- Yes.
- No.

Station 42.

Vegetation fire caused by

incoming dry lightning storm.

Highway 101 at Canyon Road.

Vince, there's a...

There's a lightning storm
in Willow Creek.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, I heard it.

There's a second
one in Blue Lake.

That means... Yeah, I know
what it means.

I don't know
what it means.

It means calls are gonna be
popping off all day.

Let's go.

Dry storms don't rain water.
They rain lightning.

So it's like
little fires everywhere.

Thank you.
Wait for me.

All right, listen up.

This rec center's in dire need

of defensible space.

We got a dry lightning storm
rolling in, fellas.

So every bit of lightning
that may strike here,

we want to starve, not feast.

Any flammable debris,
we clear it.

Understood?

Yes, sir. Yes, Cap.

Yes, Captain.Good.

Now, safety...
safety is your religion.

You practice it,

you shorten your sentence.
No theatrics.

Hey, he's talking about you
going up that mountain

- at the Buckeye.
- Let him.

If lightning
should strike nearby,

I want you to become as small
and as low as possible.

Crouch down to the ground.

Avoid grasslands
and avoid high areas.

You stop running
all your power tools,

and you drop your manual
tools, all right?

And, Bode...
no freelancing.

- I wasn't planning on it.
- Good.

Then we're on the same page.

You know you're gonna
send him packing.

Why wait?

Incident reports aren't in yet.
Plus, I need the manpower.

This lightning storm's
gonna be a doozy.

All right, gentlemen.

We want a four-foot line

with two-foot clearance
on each side.

Let's turn these shrubs
into stumps.

Without fuel, fire won't get
to the structure.

Use your McLeods on the shrubs,

use your Pulaskis
on anything that's thicker.

Yes, Cap.

Copy that. Hey, it's
"Copy that, Cap."

You need to suck up
so he goes easy on you.

Yeah, well,
it's too late.

He doesn't care 'cause
he knows I'm out of here.

Why don't you care?

I do care.

I want to be at fire camp,
just not this one.

You keep saying that,
but this is your home, dude.

There's no place like it.

There's a reason
that's a saying.

Yeah.

Not in a good way for me.

'Cause you're Cal Fire royalty?

His mom's
division chief.

Dad runs a station.
Word's out,

after their visit to your hospital room.
You're the Fresh Prince of Edgewater?

You got to work that!

Have Mom
pull some strings

so you can stay.

I would never ask her
to do that,

especially not for something
I don't even want.

You have to.

I heard the food at High Rock

is all suspicious soups
and mystery meat.

Hey, Charlie...

Tell him about
the goulash.

Anyone ever tell you
you're a real close talker?

Come on, man.

I like you.

You're really gonna leave me
here with that dude?

Sorry about that, Freddy.

Lightning expected in the area.

- Head inside.
- I don't get it.

Bode comes back and you don't
want to talk about it.

Imminent lightning storm
in the area.

Seek shelter.

I get why you didn't
tell me after Riley died.

But all the years
since then?

I tell you everything.

We got together a couple of
months before she died.

And Bode said
you broke her heart.

How?

It's complicated.

That's all you're gonna say?

Are you gonna rat out Bode
on the incident report?

For him punching you?

I don't know yet.

Look, I told you.
It's complicated.

You are ruining
dry lightning for me.

Green crest, 1591.

New incident,
east of the canyon.

Vegetation fire caused
by a lightning strike.

We'll handle with
our unit on scene.

Copy, 15...

Storm's already here.
Let's go.

Oh, lightning. Everyone out of the pool!

How come? Let's go. You're not getting

electrocuted on my watch.
Let's go!

Run towards that building

while I gather the rest
of the campers.

Get a roof over your head.

Let's go!

All right, tools down,
gents, quickly,

unless you want to be
a human lightning rod.

The storm is here,
so keep your heads

on a swivel,
looking for lightning strikes.

Green crest dispatch,
this is Three Rock Crew Four.

We're seeing lightning strikes
at the rec center.

We've got summer campers
to corral and shelter.

- Copy, Three Rock Crew Four.
- Let's go.

Move, gentlemen.

- Go, guys, pick up the pace.
- Come on, let's go, boys.

Move it.

Yeah?

- Manny, what's your status?
- Sheltering civvies.

Then rolling out with my crew.

Everybody down!

Down, down, everyone, stay down!

Keep your heads down!

What the hell was that?

Lightning just exploded a tree.

I got to call it in.

Green crest dispatch.

New incident.
We have a vegetation fire.

Multiple ten-by-ten spots
on the ground.

Start two Type 3 engines,

I'll be assuming
incident command.

Copy, Three Rock.

Game on, fellas!

Everybody stay down!

*FIRE COUNTRY*
Season 01 Episode 02

Episode Title:
"The Fresh Prince of Edgewater"

Aired on:
October 14, 2022.

Freddy. Suit up.

You got to protect that pretty
face for Cookie, right?

Oh, snap.

Manny, I'm sending you

a Type 1 and a water tender,

but this storm is gonna bleed
all my resources dry.

I've got lightning fires
all over the county,

with no signs of stopping.

So shelter the civvies
and keep me posted.

Copy.

All right, gentlemen.

Our job's not done.

Now that we have fire,

we're here until the
civilians are evacuated

or an engine
arrives with water.

But it's raining embers.

- We know that, Freddy.
- Game on, Cap.

Where do you want me?

Division 1501.

Requesting the nearest
Type 1 to the rec center.

Yes, Chief.

We've been in contact with
Three Rock Crew Four.

Working on getting
engines to them.

Yeah, they've got nothing
but hand tools.

They need water or that fire's
gonna get out of control.

Manny, hold tight.

Trying to, Chief,

but Mother Nature keeps
throwing lit matches.

Hit all that vegetation
back there.

Everything wet.

Got it, Chief!

Eve, Jake, keep up the pace.

There's too much slack
in the hose. Watch it.

There wouldn't be slack

if you picked up the pace,
like Chief said.

It's not about
the slack, and you know it.

Yeah, right.

Eve, Jake, you got a fire
behind you.

Fire behind you!

We got it, Chief. - Stop the truck.

Stop the truck.

Jake, you want to explain how
you fumbled a mobile attack

when I know I taught you better?

Understood, Chief.

Keep the embers in
the black, where there's no fuel left,

otherwise they could
start more fires.

All right, hey, kids,
right over here.

Keep moving. Come on.

Right in this building.

We're looking for a bus
to take you all home.

But for now,

the safest thing for us to do

is to find a roof
and put it over your head.

All right? Everything
is gonna be just fine.

You guys
are doing great.

There you go,
right in there.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Come on,
it's gonna be okay. Hey, Dad. Gabriela?

What're you
doing here?

I got the swimmers
out of the pool.

No, what are you
doing here today?

Oh, um, teaching diving
to the campers.

I need a job
if I'm gonna live here.

If you're gonna be
out here, you need cover.

Good looking out, thank you.

She's not gonna be out here.

She's gonna be inside.

You're gonna stay safe,
and you're gonna stay inside.

You can't...

Can't outrun lightning.
I know.

You heard the captain.

Everybody inside. Let's go!

I could guess what
you two are fighting about,

but I don't have time to care.

I've already got
one renegade kid.

I need you two to be
the ones I can rely on.

There's a staffing shortage.

A lot of long shifts,
nobody's going home.

So whatever it is,
work it out.

Or you'll do worse damage
than pissing me off.

Eve, I'm sorry. Let's just work.

That's good.

Push it back.

As far from life
and structure as possible.

Without water, it's up to us.

Hey!

Hey, the fire's jumped!

That awning is toast.

Once that fire eats through that
awning and jumps to that roof,

the whole structure
is compromised.

There's kids
in that building.

Yeah, and we got to get them
out of there to safety.

What are we doing, Cap?

We're gonna revisit that
evacuation plan.

We're gonna load the civilians
into the bus with us

and we're all gonna get
the hell out of here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Manny.

We put the kids on the bus,
but not with the inmates.

That's a huge violation, man.

I'm sorry.
It's too dangerous.

Yeah, well, so is fire, man.

And this one is getting
bigger by the second

while we stand around talking.

Manny, I can't
let them comingle.

Well, you got a better idea?

Hey, hey, don't
pack us in there.

Just take the kids.

I said no freelancing,
Bode, all right?

I don't want another
repeat of the Buckeye.

I'm not freelancing, man.

But given my conduct
at the Buckeye,

I'm guessing this is
my last day on your crew.

Okay, the least I can
do with that time

is help save some kids.

Look, permission
to give up my seat.

I'm asking. It's not that simple,
all right?

If Cory's saying that we can't
comingle inmates and kids,

then your one seat is not
gonna solve the problem.

It's got to be all of us
or none of us.

Every man has to decide
for himself.

If my grand kids were in there,

I'd want the firefighters
to save them.

I give up my seat, too.

Damn it, me too.

All right, then.

I'm gonna go tell those campers!

Look around for any
emergency hoses.

Let's go save some kids.

Let's go.

How far out are you?

Oh, hello to you, too.

- How far out?
- Uh... 15 minutes.

You want to tell me why
my crew is being rerouted?

You wiped out that brush fire
in record time.

Great work.

So now you're
the closest engine

to the rec center.

Uh-huh.

Where Manny and his crew
happen to be?

That's quite a coincidence.

Aren't you the guy
who was just complaining about

his son not following orders?

You think that could be genetic?

Please hurry.

Love you, too.

Manny, Vince is close.

Uh... didn't you say we were
headed to Manny's crew?

Yeah.

Then why are they headed to us?

Let's move, let's move.

Asphalt's busted
straight through the windshield.

At least one injured party.

The driver. And the rest?

Chief!

The bus wasn't carrying
Manny's crew.

It's full of kids.

Hello?

Hey, buddy,
can you hear me?

Green crest.
Engine 1591 on scene.

We got one victim trapped
with crush injuries.

Send a Code 3 ambulance
and the nearest truck company.

And, uh...

And a bus to evacuate

about 15 civilians.

He's unconscious.

His pulse is thready.

His pupils...

...are equal and reactive.

And he possibly has internal
bleeding and third-degree burns.

All right, we need
to cool this guy off.

Let's stabilize him.

I need a Lifepak,

C-collar and run a line
wide open on him.

- Here's a jump bag.
- Thank you.

Hey, everybody.

I'm Chief Leone.

And me, uh,
and all my firefighter friends,

we're gonna need you guys
to help us out

by getting off this thing
as soon as possible.

Just to be extra safe, in case
there's some danger to the truck

that we can't see.

Okay, let's go. Come on.

Come on.

All right, come on.

Come on.

Hey, buddy.

Coming with us?

I'm scared.

I got you, pal.

Don't worry.

You'll be all right.

You'll be all right. I promise.

All right. Run over there.

And keep them

off the road and low
until the bus gets here.

Jake, I'm handing over
incident command to you.

I got to get to the rec center.
They still need water.

Copy you, Chief.

Permission to pick up
a chainsaw, Cap?

Nah, Bode, I got it.

If we cut down the awning
together, it'll be faster.

It lowers your risk of getting
struck by lightning out here

- in this insanity.
- Yeah, but it increases yours.

I told you...
It's my last day here.

I want to make it count.

The faster we move,
the sooner the whole team

will be out
of harm's way.

Where do you want me, Cap?

All right, Bode,
back-cut that brace.

Watch the kerf!
Make sure not to pinch the bar!

Face cut!

That's it!

Drop the chainsaw.

Pull!

Go!

Let's go!

Not bad
for a hand crew, huh?

I got water! I finally found
an emergency hose

- that works!
- Gabriela.

I thought you were on the bus
that took off with those kids.

The counselors
are with the kids. You know what?

Cutting line in town...

That's one thing.
But it's dangerous out here.

That's why we bust ass

to keep everybody out here
as safe as possible.

I'm another set
of hands to help.

- You would've been safe just leaving.
- Dad,

I couldn't leave you.

You want water or not?

Be careful.

Huh?

You're a lifesaver.

Just trying to help out.

Water!

Be careful with the... Kickback!

Yeah.

Okay. Let's see how we're doing.

All right,
he's hypotensive.

Let's lift
the asphalt off

- of him.
- No, we let the hospital

- remove the asphalt.
- Listen, this thing

- is cooking him from the inside.
- But if he bleeds out

before the ambulance
gets here, it's over.

And if we wait until it
compromises his organs,

he'll die before then.

We need
to get this off

of him now.

Okay.

But we have to avoid
peeling his skin

- along with the asphalt.
- I'll minimize the damage.

We need
to move together

- on this thing, all right?
- And fast.

These fires keep popping up.

And we keep hitting them.

You play a lot of Whac-A-Mole
as a kid?

Be efficient
with that water.

This hose is hooked up
to a local supply.

There's no telling
when it might run out.

Good, Bode.

You're the reason we have

any water at all.

Yeah.

Want to tell that
to my dad?

He cares about you.

Wants you safe.
You're lucky.

Fire on the roof!

Must've jumped
when we pulled down the awning.

We got to keep it from spreading
even more or else we'll lose control.

Come on, let's hit it.

Green crest,
Three Rock Crew Four.

We're fighting a structure fire

with a glorified garden hose
over here.

What's the ETA
on those engine crews I ordered?

Okay, we got to do this
in one go.

Ready? No, wait, wait.

- My hands are slipping.
- Look,

- we are out of time.
- No, I...

I can't get a good grip.

And if we're off by
even an inch, he'll bleed out.

Okay, he can't wait.
He's crashing.

Listen, this is
our best shot.

Trust me.

Eve.

All right. Good.
Keep lifting. Go, go.

- All right, how are we looking?
- It's hot.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on, hold up.
His skin is sticking.

- Pour more saline.
- No, I can't. I have to keep packing.

Don't stop. You
got this, Jake.

Go.

- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah.

It's you. It's you.

Okay. Let's get him
on a backboard.

What do you got?

Open chest wound.

He's hypotensive.
Third-degree burns.

Bolus to two liters
in the line.

Okay.

Can't believe
he's alive.

Good work.

Engine's here!

Gentlemen, we did it!

We've been released by the new
incident command, Chief Leone!

Now, let's stay in the game,
but let's give 'em some room!

Three Rock crew,
clear out. Give our hoses access.

Let's throw a ladder up
the alpha side of the building!

Give me 1.5-inch

cross-lay. Let's go!

All right, let's
clear out, everybody.

Every drop helps, right?

Uh, uh, hold the water!

Hold the water!

Bode?

We can't hit it
until you move.

Bode?!

You're not helping.

Get out of the way!

Green crest, this is Chief Leone
assuming I.C.

We need an additional
Type 1 engine.

Copy, Chief. Rerouting. 10-4.

Bus is here for the kids.

I'm gonna hop on the next
engine to the rec center.

I'm gonna hitch a ride
to the hospital

and see this one through.

I cheated on Riley.

So you played her?

Thanks for telling me.

Look, Riley died before we
could work through our issues.

I couldn't make the same mistake
with you now.

So you two used
to be best friends?

Jake told me.

Your boyfriend?

A lifetime ago, yeah.

Jake.

Welcome to the
party, man.

Gabs!

Oh.

What are you doing here?

Are you trying to scare her
into pulling a gun on you again?

Jake, it's fine.

Baby, you should get checked
for smoke inhalation, okay?

Yeah, I feel a little winded.

You want to punch me again?

Smoke's green.

Hey, Chief! Chief, the fire
must have burned through

the roof, into the storage room
on the ground level.

Green smoke is chemical.

Maybe pool supplies.

Ammonia, chlorine.

- Yeah, if those two mix...
- Building's gonna blow.

If we keep flowing water,

that chlorine will become
hydrochloric acid.

And we'll
all be toast.

Yes, we will. All right.

Hold the water!
Hoses down!

Hoses down!

- Jake, grab the CO2...
- CO2 extinguisher. On it.

All right, smoke's
back to gray!

Nice job.

Way to go! Good job, Jake.

Well done, pal.

Thanks, Chief.

Shar?

Tell me you got there in time.

Don't I always?

Vince?

Everyone's safe.
We got it.

Weather report says the
lightning strikes have moved on.

Calls are finally slowing down.

Good to hear.
Love you. See you in a bit.

We're on mop-up, guys.

You see an ember?

Mop it up
with your hand tools.

You know, if we'd have
showed up any later,

we'd have lost this structure.

Great job keeping it standing
as long as you did.

My guys did great work.

Especially Bode.

Oh. So you got Good Bode today.

Good Bode

will lure you in
and break your heart.

Sharon has a hard time

accepting that, I don't.

Yeah, I noticed that.

You make your decision
about him yet?

Been a little busy, Chief.

Well, we kicked its ass again.

That's how we do it, people.
Cheers, everyone!

Yee-hee!

What can I get you?

A beer, please.

Freshest tap you got.

I'm Eve, by the way.

Oh, you're the thumbs-up girl.

I remember you.

Yeah.

Um, I wanted to ask you out.

But I lost my nerve and
went with the thumbs-up instead.

But, um, today at work,

I helped saved this guy's life.

And, uh,
it's kind of a big deal.

So, uh, you want to grab dinner
sometime to celebrate?

I... don't.

You kind of made it about
your weird, near-death,

lifesaving thing.

Maybe

try me again when some guy
didn't almost die on you.

I'm sorry.

No. No.

Please don't apologize
for being honest.

Here's your beer.

♪ And it feels so right

♪ Don't get me wrong...

Ooh!

Wait, wait, wait.
Okay, okay, okay.

You got on the nozzle?

Baby, I found the nozzle.

My dad was so pissed.

You did my job today.

I fought fire today.

- And how'd you like it?
- I loved it.

I can tell.

There's a Cal Fire
recruitment event next weekend.

I think you should check it out.

Really?

Oh.

Look, anything that makes you
light up like this,

hell yeah.

- Really?
- Oh. Ah.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm gonna get us...

I'm gonna buy us a round.

Two beers please.

Does she know? About Riley?

Yeah.

Yeah, she knows.

Look, I'm...
I'm in it with Gabriela.

I tell her everything.

You know what bugs me?

I show you my ugly, my mistakes,

and you keep all
that stuff to yourself.

Makes me feel like
I don't even know you.

Anything that doesn't fit
your Superman persona,

you swallow it up.

I'm working on it.

And-and look at Bode
in his orange jumpsuit.

People see his mistakes
before they see him.

I'm telling Captain Perez
the truth.

Bode punched me.

But Cap will send him
back to prison.

- You know that.
- I can't control that.

I've been lying
for too long.

I'm done.

- It's time to tell the truth.
- He was our best friend.

- And he saved your life, Jake.
- So I should save his ass?

I would if I were you.

If you ever want to get
this family back together.

This booth is for conversation.

Are you ready to converse?

I am.

What was Bode talking about
back at the hospital, Vince?

What order did
he follow well?

After Riley died, I, um...

I told him I didn't want
to see him anymore.

I told him to leave
and never come back.

Oh, my God.

How...?

Our marriage would not
have survived

if he had stayed around, okay?

We... we clawed

- our way out of hell after the accident.
- Oh, my God.

I've been mourning
that child for years.

We lost two kids
in one night.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

And now he is back,
and I want to enjoy it.

If you ruin this...
I-I am so serious.

I-I thought that

if he stayed around,
it would just hurt you more.

- So...
- No. No.

You were wrong, you were dead wrong,
and now we have a chance.

Now we have a chance to be
a family again. I am taking it.

And I hope you...
Get out. Get out.

I hope you take it, too.

Um...

there's more.

What the hell else
could there be?

I'm pretty sure
he punched Jake in the face

at the Buckeye, and

if I know Jake,
he's not gonna lie to Manny.

So, there's just...

There's not a chance
in hell he's staying,

and I'm sorry, Shar.

I'm... I'm really sorry.

I will come home tonight.

And I love you, and...

I will find some way
to forgive you for this someday,

but right now,
I have no idea how.

Great job today, Cap.

Thank you, Chief.

Have you made

any decision about my son?

I went through
the incident reports.

He saved Jake Crawford's life.

Using unorthodox methods,
sure, but

Jake's grateful and has
no complaints about Bode.

I knew you were gonna give him
a chance. Thank you, Manny.

I'm gonna transfer him

over to High Rock,
not back to prison.

There's a lot
of good people out there.

And most importantly,
it's far from here.

No, Manny,
I-I can't lose my son.

I understand that, Chief.

But Bode's been very clear.

He doesn't want
to be in Edgewater.

Manny, I'm sick.

What?

I have chronic
kidney disease.

I've told Vince,
but no one else knows.

Being sick didn't really even
bother me a couple of days ago.

I had already lost
both of my kids.

I figured I would just
live out the rest of my days

with a job and a husband
that I loved until my time came.

How's the prognosis?

Uh, it depends on the treatment,

but... it's bad.

There's no promises here, and

I don't really ask for favors,
Manny, and I don't cut corners,

but I need my son.

Okay? I...

I need my family, so...

please, Manny.

I'm almost done.

I'll, uh... I'll be out of here

before everyone else
is back from chow.

You're a pain in
my ass, you know that?

Well, guess I'll be a pain
in someone else's soon.

Incident reports say
you went rogue,

and you saved
a firefighter's life.

The good seems
to outweigh the bad.

I can't be here.

Yeah, so you've said.

And I think

what you want is to be as far
away from your dad as possible.

I saw that today
when he showed up.

There's a lot of hurt
between you two.

But what you really want is
an escape from his voice,

telling you you're
not good enough,

that you don't
deserve to be here.

That voice is inside you, Bode.

And wherever you go... High Rock,
Valley View, it doesn't matter...

That voice is going
to go with you.

You can't outrun it, man.

I know where you're at...

'cause I've been there, too.

I was an inmate
at this camp, too,

before I was captain.

I stole cars.

And I was really
damn good at it,

till I wrapped one of 'em
around a tree on a bender.

They let you do this job
after that?

Your mom did.

'Cause she believes
in second chances.

So do I.

Man, your fearlessness, your...

your intuition,
your leadership...

I can't teach that.

This program will work

if you work it.

You're staying, Bode.

So it's up to you

to decide

if you're gonna be the deadbeat
your dad thinks you are,

or if you're gonna be the man

your mom and I both know
you can be.
