Fire Country
Fridays 9:00 PM on CBSFire Country Quotes
Vince: I just got the most surreal phone call from CDCR. Reese, remember the division chief up at Lazarus, apparently he was so impressed with you fishing me out of that fire that he submitted you for an extraordinary conduct credit.
Eve: Wait. Does he qualify?
Bode: When, when do I find out?
Vince: That's what I just found out. You got the credit. And they're taking twelve months off your sentence.
Sharon: But he only had 11 months left. What does that mean?
Vince: That means there's some paperwork and stuff. But, uh, you're free.
Sharon: Oh my God.
Vince: You're coming home.
Eve: Listen, I may or may not be your Captain, but I'm going to talk - when was the last time you hit the shower trailer?
Manny: I worked a 16 all day. Just leave me alone.
Eve: I know. You were working while everyone else was off. That's what guilty people do. You know, you're putting up this front like justice was served. But you know you're in the wrong. And you're ashamed. Because Three Rock, they don't just look up to you, Manny. You are the blueprint. Not just on how to be a firefighter. But how to turn your life around. Become a good person. What you're showing them right now, is that if you ever make a mistake, just go ahead and hang that up. Is that what you want to show them? Hmm? Is that what you want to show Bode? Or your daughter? Or me? Take a shower, Manny.
Gabriela: Your mom was right. It's a bubble out here. Being in the now. Where we are. I like that.
Bode: No future, no consequences.
Bode: You've been lying to us. Are you okay to even be out here?
Vince: Sit down. Please. Sit down. Alright? I wanted to be out here. With you and your, and your mom. Fighting fires together. And if I told your mom, there'd be reviews and forced medical leave. And they could -- they'd take me out of here right now. I wouldn't get this time with you. I'm fine. Look, the doctor cleared me. And I'm - I'm not going to endanger my crew. You know that.
Bode: You gotta tell Mom.
Vince: Yeah. Of course, I will. Soon as we're all home and safe.
Bode: Mom's worried about you.
Vince: Well, she wouldn't be Mom if she didn't.
Bode: You good?
Vince: Yeah. Why?
Bode: Well, we're here as a family. Fighting a fire together. I thought you'd be a little happier. But something's bothering you.
Vince: Well, if anything's bothering me, it's that we should've been doing this for years now. Lost a lot of time with you.
Bode: Now's our chance to get some back.
Vince: Then what? You get done knocking down this fire. They close Three Rock. Send you away.
Bode: It's only a year, Dad.
Vince: Who knows where I'll be in a year?
Bode: What does that mean?
Vince: It means there's no guaranteed tomorrow. For anybody. Especially on this job.
Vince: Doctor cleared me to go on this fire.
Gabriela: So, you told Sharon and Bode?
Vince: Not yet. That fire line out there, it takes every bit of concentration and focus that one can have. And I don't need Sharon worrying about something that's not in front of her face. Okay? That's not happening.
Gabriela: Play it safe. Okay, you're a chief. So, command from the sidelines.
Vince: Oh. You giving the orders now?
Gabriela: Sharon. Sharon.
Vince: Hey. No, no, no. Okay. Fine. Deal.
Sharon: How are you two doing?
Cole: I just wish we knew that there'd be a Three Rock to come back to.
Bode: Honestly, I dig it. I don't know. Things are a little looser here. And I get to sleep outside instead of the barracks. It's almost like we're just firefighters.
Sharon: I love a campaign fire. It's like being in a bubble. When you put your camp next to armageddon, all the BS and reality just floats away and it gets real simple. We have one goal. Stop that fire.
Sharon: So this is why you couldn't look me in the eye.
Vince: Well, you know I suck at keeping secrets from you. I couldn't stomach the thought of being the problem. And I got scared. I can't have this job taken away from me. So, I convinced myself that I'd be protecting everybody by being here. But I ended up putting my own son in harm's way.
Bode: I'm fine. It's okay.
Vince: It's not okay. I'm gonna go to the hospital. And then I'll go home. And then I'm going to recommend you run 42. 'Cause I don't trust anybody more than I trust you.
Sharon: You just want me somewhere where I can't yell at you.
Vince: Yeah, that too.
Eve: You heard from the board yet?
Manny: Still here, ain't I?
Eve: Well, don't convict yourself before they do man.
Manny: I'm not. I stand by what I did.
Eve: Really? You stand by starting a fire at 42, man? Do you hear yourself?
Manny: Look, I regret the fire. And I regret that it may have cost me my job. But I don't regret punching Luke. He deserved it. And besides, what I did got Three Rock here, so get off my back.
Eve: And you really believe that?
Manny: I don't need a lecture, Eve. You're not my Captain.
Eve: Okay. I'm not his Captain.
Vince: Well, I think it worked.
Gabriela: I'm telling Sharon.
Vince: What? No. Don't.
Gabriela: You've been like a second father to me, Chief. If anything happens to you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I can't keep this secret anymore.
Vince: Alright. You been like a second daughter to me too. And I understand. But what you actually are right now is my health care provider. And if you tell anyone about this, you could violate my right to privacy as a patient. And that would be bad for both of us.
Vince: I think this is probably a one time event. You know, I've seen it before. On the job. All it takes is one shock to correct the arrhythmia. Alright? So let's, let's do it. Shock me, Perez.
Gabriela: I can't.
Vince: Yes, you can. I'm giving you permission.
Gabriela: No, it's not you.
Vince: What do you mean it's not me? I'm your boss, aren't I?
Gabriela: It's Bode. If I hurt you, I can't look at him in the eye again. I, I, I can't. I can't.
Vince: That's fair. I guess.
Vince:
Eve: Eyes and ears, Three Rock. The Lazareth fire is a complex campaign fire currently being fought by over 2,000 firefighters. And it's winning. It's a beast job. We're going to be living on-site until we can kill it. So say goodbye to camp for a little while.
Inmate: For how long?
Cole: Yeah, what do we tell our families, Captain?
Eve: Well, it's unknown. It could be days. It could be, uh, weeks.
Cole: Yeah, what about Three Rock?
Eve: We saved Three Rock so we could fight fire. We get to go do that.
Bode: But what are we coming back to, Eve?
Eve: It's unknown, Bode.
