00:02This one's spent.
00:03Give yourself a little water slide.
00:30Captain Strand?
00:32Captain Strand, the wind shifted.
00:42How long was I out?
00:44Almost an hour.
00:46That's about all I need.
00:48The weeks-long battle against the San Angelo fire continues at this hour,
00:52with officials now saying the blaze has consumed more than 180,000 acres
00:57with less than 5% containment.
01:00Resources here in West Texas have been stretched to their limits,
01:03but help is now arriving from neighboring states.
01:06Fire companies from Oklahoma, New Mexico, and as far away as California,
01:11are sending equipment and manpower to aid in this fight.
01:15A welcome side to the embattled Texans on the front lines of this blaze,
01:19one that has to look a lot like the arrival of the cavalry.
01:25Buck, wake up right here.
01:27No.
01:28We are.
01:33What's up with the air?
01:35Wildfire, remember? That's why we're here.
01:37I mean the way it feels.
01:39It's slapped in a wet towel.
01:41It's called humidity.
01:42Welcome to Texas, Buck.
01:48I'm Deputy Chief De Leon,
01:50of the San Angelo Fire Department, Acting Incident Commander.
01:54For those of you just joining the party, welcome.
01:58Buck, stop staring.
02:00I'm not staring.
02:01You're staring.
02:02I think that guy is staring at you.
02:04I want to introduce my operations section chief, Captain Owen Strand out of Austin.
02:12The thing we were praying wouldn't happen has happened.
02:14The wind has shifted.
02:16Fire's now on a collision course with the city of San Angelo.
02:20There's a possibility of weather coming in, but we can't rely on it and we won't.
02:25We have one last shot.
02:27Let's turn the tide.
02:29Here, on Copper Ridge, we've got a containment line here and we can stop this beast in its tracks.
02:37Hell, you're exhausted.
02:40A lot of you haven't had more than a couple hours sleep in days.
02:43But on behalf of the city of San Angelo and their 120,000 souls,
02:48we're gonna get you up on that fire line and you're gonna cut like hell.
02:53Good luck.
02:54Stay safe.
02:57Buck.
02:58Seriously?
03:00Please don't make me report you to HR.
03:01No, no, no. I swear I know her from somewhere. It's killing me.
03:05Captain!
03:06We have a situation.
03:13I thought all the evacuations had already happened.
03:15That was before the wind shifted.
03:16How many people are up there?
03:18Eight kids, one counselor.
03:20There's been no contact.
03:21Not in at least eight hours.
03:22It's a camp for at-risk teens, so those kids aren't allowed cell phones.
03:26What's going on?
03:28There's a bunch of kids at a camp trapped up past the fire line.
03:31Can we get an evac chopper up here?
03:33It's too dangerous and these access roads are all aflame.
03:36We can't get an engine up there.
03:37Hey.
03:38Pardon me, Cap.
03:39You can get two with ATVs easy enough.
03:42I used to ride around on ATVs in woods just like these growing up.
03:45Firefighter?
03:46You just became strike team leader.
03:48Hell, I'm in.
03:49Driving through fire instead of digging a ditch?
03:51Sign me up.
03:52All right.
03:53Eight man team.
03:54Take a medic.
03:55You don't know what you're gonna find up there.
03:57I'm a medic.
03:59Eddie Diaz with the 118 in Los Angeles.
04:01You a paramedic?
04:03Firefighter.
04:03I was medic in the army and on more than a few missions it look a lot like this.
04:07What you waiting for, Hollywood?
04:08Get your bag.
04:09Meet us down by the motor pool and we'll roll out.
04:12Copy that.
04:18Uh, where have you been?
04:20Took a tour of the medical unit.
04:23Where's Eddie?
04:23I don't know.
04:25You guys abandoned me.
04:26Also, why did we drive these trucks all the way here from L.A. just to park them?
04:30Only way up to that fire line is by foot.
04:32Truck's going to the motor pool.
04:33Commander DeLeon will use them as he sees fit.
04:35That's how it works, Buck.
04:37Still, I sure like the idea of strangers and our rigs.
04:41No strangers here, Buck.
04:43Just grunts with shuttles.
04:46Uh, okay, and where's yours?
04:48Me?
04:49I volunteer for the base camp medical unit.
04:52I'm gonna have a good hike.
04:54Eddie, can you believe this hen is not going up the fire line with us?
04:58It's gonna be you and me.
05:01You ready, soldier?
05:03Be right there.
05:04Well, hop to it.
05:05These at-risk kids aren't getting any less at risk.
05:10That hurt her?
05:12You should go with her.
05:13Yeah.
05:17Hey, guys, guys, guys, I know who that is.
05:21She's Firefox.
05:26Firefox.
05:29You guys seriously don't know who Firefox is?
05:31She's gone viral, like, five times.
05:33Total badass.
05:35I, uh, follow her on Instagram.
05:38For some reason, she didn't follow me back.
05:42Don't forget your shovel!
05:46Abandoners.
05:48Captain Strand.
05:49For a second, I thought that was a butt dial.
05:51No butt dial.
05:52It was just checking in on you.
05:54You're checking in on me.
05:55You're the one fighting a wildfire.
05:58I know paramedic Rosewater's funeral was today, and I was very sorry to miss it.
06:04Just...
06:05Just seeing how you were holding up.
06:07That you're okay?
06:08I think so.
06:10Yes, sir.
06:11After a trauma,
06:13a boss like that,
06:16things could sneak up on you.
06:20Captain Strand?
06:21Yes.
06:22Are you okay?
06:27Captain Strand,
06:28you requested a list of all air resources and call signs.
06:31I have that for you.
06:32Yes, thank you, Molly.
06:33I gotta go.
06:43I got you some of them critters, Hollywood.
06:45I bet they don't get that big in L.A.
06:47Oh, well, we got plenty in El Paso.
06:49Oh, no way. You from El Paso?
06:51Where'd you go to high school?
06:52La Salle.
06:53La Salle.
06:54Boy, we used to whoop your ass every year at State.
06:58I was, uh, Austin Heights.
07:00You're a bulldog.
07:01Roger.
07:02I thought we were gonna be friends.
07:05Whoo!
07:08She always liked it.
07:10Always.
07:23I only count seven kids.
07:25I just said there were supposed to be eight.
07:27Help!
07:27Help!
07:28Hey, back up.
07:29We're here now.
07:30We're gonna get you all down the mountain, okay?
07:32Marjon, Eddie's gonna check everybody out and make sure they're okay.
07:34So, hey, hey, hey!
07:35Who's missing?
07:36Mr. Gomez.
07:37He left last night looking for JJ, and he never came back.
07:41Did JJ run away?
07:42No, man.
07:42He was out doing his solo.
07:44Solo?
07:45Yeah, it's two nights mandatory alone in the woods.
07:47It builds character and self-respect, but it's usually pretty well monitored.
07:50You know that, huh?
07:51Mr. Gomez have a cell phone?
07:52He's the only one that does.
07:54We're not allowed.
07:55No call in eight hours.
07:56It could just be bad reception.
07:58Something else.
08:01Hey.
08:02Oh!
08:03Oh!
08:04Please help.
08:05Oh!
08:07Hey!
08:07Where's JJ?
08:15He's not breathing.
08:22No.
08:23No.
08:24No.
08:24No.
08:24No, sir.
08:25There we go.
08:26Marjon, grab the hanging bag.
08:27The kit.
08:28I'm gonna run a line.
08:29No.
08:29Can you hold this?
08:31Hey, man.
08:31Let's back up.
08:32Let's let them work.
08:33Back up.
08:34Right back here.
08:35Keep going.
08:35Keep going.
08:36Keep going.
08:36Keep going.
08:36Keep going.
08:39I'm not hearing any air escaping.
08:41Lungs are intact.
08:43And why isn't his chest rising?
08:48Damn.
08:49We need to do an escarotomy.
08:50What the hell's that?
08:51That burn tissue?
08:52It's called eschar.
08:53It's constricting his chest like a rope.
08:55It's preventing his lungs from expanding.
08:56Can't draw a breath.
08:57We need to cut it.
08:58Now?
08:59Now.
09:04Hope you're not squeamish.
09:05Keep going.
09:18Keep going.
09:19Rest your breaths.
09:22Okay.
09:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:29JJ.
09:30Sir?
09:31We're the missing kit, all right?
09:33I need you to take nice and steady breaths.
09:36Nicely done, Diaz.
09:37You too, Firefox.
09:45Put your backs into it!
09:47We're almost there!
09:49This robber is everything!
09:52We hold the line here!
09:54We put this fire on the ropes!
09:57So, L.A., huh?
09:59Yeah.
10:01That's cool.
10:02I got a cousin in L.A.
10:04Marvin.
10:05People say we look alike.
10:07Maybe you know him.
10:08It's kind of a big place.
10:09No, I know.
10:11His last name's Chavez.
10:13Yeah, I don't think so.
10:15He's in jail anyway.
10:17I bet you get some pretty crazy calls out there.
10:20I have no idea.
10:22We get our fair share in Texas.
10:24You ever get a call at Disneyland?
10:26Orange County.
10:28But L.A., right?
10:32You know, we did get calls to an amusement park one.
10:36They had to scale the loop of a rollercoaster.
10:39The guy was hanging on by his bare hands.
10:41You saved a guy hanging from a rollercoaster?
10:44Ah, he let go.
10:48Man, that's rough.
10:51I had a woman almost drown on me last year in less than a foot of water.
10:55She was trapped in a bus upside down in the middle of the street.
10:59This is wild, man.
11:01We had a bus rescue.
11:02It wasn't upside down, though.
11:06But it was sticking out to the fifth floor of an office building.
11:09No way!
11:10That's insane!
11:12We just had an active volcano last week.
11:13Yeah, yeah.
11:14I think I saw something about that on my Twitter feed.
11:30It looks like just the driver.
11:31Hey, we're going to get you out of there!
11:34Get down!
11:41Come on, heads up!
11:47Come here, Matt.
11:48Come here, Matt.
11:49Come here.
11:50Come here.
11:50Come here.
11:50Come here.
11:54Clyde!
11:55Oh, damn it!
11:57Clyde!
11:57Oh, thank God.
11:59Oh, bad boy.
12:00Bad boy, Clyde.
12:01I'm so sorry.
12:02I left him alone for like 10 seconds.
12:04He must have unlocked the parking brake.
12:05Your dog has a lead foot.
12:07So that was weird.
12:09Right?
12:11Nice moves, by the way.
12:13Your reflexes.
12:14Yeah, you too.
12:16Keep it dry.
12:18Change the dressing every 24 hours.
12:21This is Great Oaks.
12:23Strike team.
12:24Do you copy?
12:25This is base med unit.
12:26Go ahead.
12:27Sending seven minors your way.
12:29Mild dehydration, smoke inhalation,
12:32few lacerations, but they're fine.
12:34One adult, male, critical.
12:35Gave him 11 milligrams of morphine.
12:38He will need a life flight.
12:42Hey, Eddie.
12:44It's Hen.
12:45You're sending out seven minors?
12:47I thought you went up there for eight.
12:48One kid's still missing.
12:50A couple of the guys from the Austin 126
12:51are searching out for him now.
12:53All right.
12:54You got about two hours of daylight left,
12:56and the wind reports are not good.
12:58Yeah.
12:58It's getting a little toasty out here.
13:01All right, Eddie.
13:02You need to put a clock on this.
13:04I don't think any of these folks
13:05are leaving without this boy.
13:06Clock or no clock.
13:09Remind me a little of some other people I know.
13:12Hey, JJ!
13:15JJ!
13:17JJ!
13:17Hey, JJ!
13:18JJ!
13:19JJ, if you can hear us, all in fact!
13:23We may have already passed it,
13:25because that camp council was saying
13:26he was doing a solo right through here.
13:29Hey, man, you never told me
13:29how you know about those things.
13:31The solos.
13:32Yeah, I didn't, did I?
13:34Hey, JJ!
13:35I just never pictured you
13:37as one of those at-risk camp kids.
13:41Why the hell not?
13:43Fair point.
13:44JJ!
13:46Slow down, slow down.
13:51JJ!
13:52JJ!
13:55JJ!
13:56Fire must have came through here
13:57like a freight train.
13:59Yeah.
14:00Hey, he must have had a head start on us,
14:01because I don't see no remains.
14:03Where the hell did he go?
14:05JJ!
14:06JJ!
14:09JJ!
14:10Fire rescue!
14:12I need reinforcements on that line.
14:15Tell Tulsa Company
14:15to take Houston's engine up there.
14:17Yes, sir.
14:18Captain Strand.
14:20Henrietta Wilson.
14:21118, Los Angeles.
14:23What could I do for you, firefighter?
14:24You can approve a chopper
14:25equipped with a rescue winch
14:27and infrared flirtec
14:28to search the hillside
14:29before it gets dark.
14:30To search for what?
14:31A missing boy from Great Oaks.
14:33The strike team was able
14:34to evacuate everyone
14:35except for one boy
14:36who's still missing.
14:39That is right on the edge
14:40of the fire line.
14:41That wind's blowing 20 knots.
14:43Don't feel good about
14:44sending anybody up there.
14:49All right, tell Commander DeLeon
14:51I had to take a run up the mountain.
14:55Maybe we should go out
14:56and help them search.
14:57Chad told us to stay here.
14:59That's what we should do.
15:03How can you be so calm
15:05under literal fire?
15:07Well, at least no one's shooting at us.
15:19Seriously?
15:20You want to follow me on Insta?
15:23I heard you put a lot of effort into it.
15:25I was curious.
15:27I'll show you mine
15:28if you show me yours.
15:29I haven't been on social media
15:31in a while.
15:32The last post is like
15:32nine months old.
15:33Super boring.
15:35I'll be the judge of that.
15:37Fine.
15:38Do.
15:43Is it a Prius in the air?
15:45Tornado dropped it
15:46between two buildings.
15:48Huh.
15:50Is this your kid?
15:51Yeah, that's Christopher.
15:53It's my world.
15:54Doing the whole, you know,
15:55single dad thing.
16:00You did not build him a skateboard.
16:03Oh, buck hell.
16:06Wait, is that that creepy guy
16:08who was staring at me before?
16:09He's harmless.
16:11Mostly.
16:13Great Oak search team,
16:14give us your current location.
16:16We're sending air support.
16:17Air support?
16:19He's crazy enough
16:20to go up on something like this.
16:33Appreciate this, Mark.
16:46Appreciate this, Mark.
16:50We're burning daylight, Captain Strand.
16:52You're not crazy about this, Henrietta.
16:57Yeah, me neither.
16:59Call me Hen.
17:17Great Oak, strike team leader.
17:18This is air support.
17:22Judd, do you copy?
17:23Can't say you?
17:25Yeah, I heard you can use a hand.
17:26But you're 20.
17:28Yeah, we're a few clicks west of the camp.
17:30We haven't found this kid yet.
17:32We found his tent, but no remains.
17:33So we think he went deeper in the woods
17:34to try to get away from the fire.
17:36All right, we see you.
17:51All right, Captain Strand, I think I've got something.
17:58Judd, we've got something under a grove of trees
18:01south by south east of your position.
18:04We're going to try to get over on top of it.
18:06Okay, Captain, we're coming at you.
18:12JJ!
18:13JJ!
18:16All right, you're closing in less than 20 meters.
18:19JJ, you out here!
18:20Help!
18:21I'm down here!
18:23Help!
18:25Here!
18:26I'm over here!
18:28Nine yards!
18:29South, please!
18:30Captain, we got him.
18:32How's he look?
18:33Not good.
18:34His ankle's caught in a bear trap.
18:36So you can get him out?
18:37I don't know.
18:38It's got him pretty good.
18:39All right, we're hooking him up to the life pack right now,
18:41but it looks like he's lost a lot of blood.
18:44He's going to lose a lot more when they try to free him.
18:46A loser gets caught in a bear trap running away from a bear, right?
18:50Those bears?
18:51I thought they were chasing the wolves.
18:53You thought it was the wolves?
18:54No.
18:54They were running away from the fire.
18:56They're gone now.
18:56Hey, Judd, this is paramedic Henrietta Wilson.
19:00I'm up here with your captain.
19:01You guys are kidding me.
19:03I'm pretty sure you firefighters are fully equipped and capable to handle this.
19:07No, no, please.
19:08Walk us through it.
19:09All right.
19:09Before you do anything, I need you to place a tourniquet three inches above the wound,
19:14but not over the knee.
19:16All right, now, JJ, I ain't gonna lie, man.
19:20My heart is what I deserve.
19:22Just like my dad always said.
19:24I'm wasting space.
19:25All right, we're going to do this on three, okay?
19:27One, two, three.
19:28Okay, there we go.
19:30Okay, there it is.
19:32Fuck, your tourniquet's on.
19:34What now?
19:34All right, get him out of the trap,
19:36but keep the foot elevated above the heart.
19:39Then wrap the wound as fast and as tight as you can.
19:42Let's do it.
19:43Ready?
19:44No!
19:44No, I can't.
19:46No, no, I can't.
19:47Ah!
19:52Talk to me, boys.
19:53Talk to me.
19:54What's happening?
19:55He ain't doing good.
19:56He's bleeding out.
19:56He's crashing.
19:57You need to get fluids in him to stabilize the saline now.
20:00Hey, man, keep on talking, man.
20:02Keep on talking.
20:02Come on.
20:03Hey, stay with us.
20:04Judd, get in there.
20:05Talk to the kid.
20:06Keep him awake.
20:08Hey, man.
20:10I know you think that you deserve this.
20:13You're wrong.
20:14You don't know, Aisin.
20:15Hell, son, I was you.
20:18I was you.
20:19And whatever fool thing you did to put yourself here, that don't matter.
20:23Okay?
20:23Years and years from now, this is going to be another story.
20:25You tell some other little idiot, kid.
20:27Okay?
20:28But you got to stay with us now.
20:29Come on.
20:29Keep him talking, man.
20:30Stay with us, JJ.
20:32Kid, come on.
20:33Hey, man.
20:33Keep him talking, man.
20:34Keep him talking.
20:34Hey, hey, hey, hey.
20:35Hey, snap out.
20:36Keep him talking, man.
20:36Keep him talking.
20:37I'm talking to you, boy.
20:39Oh, boo-hoo and poor me.
20:41I deserve this and everything else.
20:42Why don't you stop being a little baby and grow a pair?
20:46All right?
20:46You want to know why life and this camp and probably your old man, too, keep kicking your ass, JJ?
20:52He's slipping, man.
20:52I got you.
20:53You want to know why?
20:54It ain't because you're weak and scrawny, even though you damn sure are.
20:58It's because when you get hit, you don't stand up and swing back.
21:01That's how I'm going.
21:02Now stand up and fight, damn it!
21:05Hey!
21:06There it is.
21:08Hey, his heart rate's back up to 100.
21:10That's a good fight.
21:13That's a good fight.
21:15This Henrietta, the fluids work.
21:17I'm very glad to hear it.
21:20All right, I'm going to harness up to the rescue.
21:23It's not with these guns.
21:25We shouldn't be up here much longer.
21:28Chud, can you get him out of there on an ATV?
21:30Yeah, that ain't a problem.
21:31I've got to pick up Marjana Diaz.
21:33Roger that.
21:34See you back at base.
21:39Thanks for you, sis.
21:46Oh, Mayday.
21:47Mayday.
21:47We are going down.
21:48This is a stress call.
21:49Mayday.
21:50Mayday.
21:50We are going down.
21:52Oh, God.
22:07Oh, come on.
22:08It's California.
22:08Of course you're going to have earthquakes.
22:10You can't tell me that that's cooler than the 126 going up against a solar storm.
22:16What even is that?
22:17You can't see it.
22:18Guys, don't you see what you're doing?
22:21You're falling into the classic Iron Man versus Captain America trap.
22:25Is Captain America better because he's a super soldier with an indestructible shield?
22:29Or is Tony Stark better because he's a tech genius with a sick weaponized suit?
22:33So, who's better?
22:35Neither is better, bro.
22:36That's the point.
22:37It's a speech's argument.
22:39They're both badass, and when they team up, nobody can beat them, except maybe Thanos.
22:45Oh, God.
22:45See, the strike team's already got their feet up.
22:47Well, you guys must be exhausted, all that go-karting up and down the hill.
22:54You didn't hear, did you?
22:57Hear what?
23:01Yeah, that radio's dead.
23:03I can't get it so receptive to save my life.
23:06Hopefully, command can pull GPS from the chopper to find us.
23:09Hopefully.
23:10How's he doing?
23:11Sedated.
23:12Fractured femur, a couple of cracked ribs.
23:15He'll live.
23:17Don't speak to you soon.
23:20Do you feel that?
23:23He's creating his own wind.
23:25It's a firestorm.
23:27Gonna find some shelter.
23:29Okay, we're...
23:31For someone you hear, this could work.
23:33That could work.
23:36Feel that?
23:38It's making its own wind.
23:41What?
23:42You just repeated yourself.
23:45I think I should probably check you out.
23:47Do you know what day it is?
23:48It's night.
23:50You know where you are?
23:52It's where I really don't want to be.
23:55All right.
23:56Uneven pupillary response is captain.
23:59I think you might have a concussion.
24:00So what are you going to tell me?
24:02To stay off my feet?
24:03Avoid stress?
24:07Or in this case, run like hell!
24:12Here, but what we need to do is get containment in here, here, or if I make my...
24:16It's a joke.
24:16We know exactly where the chopper went down.
24:19So why haven't you sent out a rescue team?
24:22As I said, the beacon is coming from two miles inside an active burn zone.
24:26It is not safe to send anyone up in the dark.
24:29Commander, with all due respect, we accept the risk, and we ain't ask anybody else to go.
24:34You know I can't authorize them.
24:35No, those are our people up there.
24:37They could be bleeding out right now, dying.
24:40Son, we haven't had any cell or radio contact at all since the May Day.
24:46Nobody else is risking their lives tonight.
24:50And your father would be the first one to agree with me.
25:08Okay, it's good.
25:12I've got my whole career running to danger, but there's never actually been a sign.
25:20The deeper we get, the more protective we'll be from the heat.
25:24Here, right there.
25:25Okay.
25:27All right.
25:29This is good.
25:30All right.
25:32I got him.
25:37How's he doing?
25:38He's hanging in there.
25:43Can you believe this?
25:45It's like stepping back in time.
25:49Hey, is that what I think it is?
25:55Oh, my God.
25:56It's dynamite.
25:57It's going to be 100 years old.
25:59I guess worksite safety wasn't a thing back then.
26:01Remind me to lodge a complaint with OSHA if we ever get out of here.
26:07This is the end of the line.
26:09All right, well, we better get comfortable.
26:12It's going to be a minute before anybody comes looking for us.
26:16And you'll let me know if you start feeling dizzy, right?
26:19Well, don't worry about me.
26:20It's kind of my job at the moment.
26:22You picked the right person to be in a helicopter crash with.
26:25Oh, yeah?
26:27Why's that?
26:28Because I'm invincible.
26:31My wife will be glad to hear.
26:33Sure, you survived.
26:35It's great for you.
26:40Captain, you okay?
26:45Yeah.
26:47Okay, I will.
26:50I love you, too.
26:54What's up?
26:55Well, they just delivered 20 kinds of pizza if you're hungry.
26:59I'm good.
27:00Thanks.
27:01They survived the crash.
27:05Believe it.
27:07And your dad is with hens, so, uh...
27:11He's using really good hens.
27:13So is she.
27:14No doubt.
27:18Look, my captain is not my dad.
27:20He might as well be.
27:22Now, he could have given up on me so many times.
27:25He never did.
27:27Even when I used to steal a fire truck.
27:33You used to steal the fire truck?
27:34Oh, yeah.
27:35All the time.
27:38Yeah, my...
27:38My dad's...
27:40He's never given up on me, either.
27:42And I've done a lot worse than steal a fire truck.
27:46It just sucks.
27:47You know?
27:48Just sitting here and doing nothing.
27:54Well...
27:57What if we didn't have to?
27:59Is that a key to a fire truck?
28:04Yes, it is.
28:12Damn it.
28:14I still can't get a signal.
28:16Yeah, me either.
28:17You're in a mind shaft, genius.
28:21So, how long have you been married?
28:24You mentioned a wife?
28:25Oh, good.
28:25Small talk.
28:27Almost eight years now.
28:29Karen, she's a rocket scientist.
28:31A literal rocket scientist?
28:33Well, she's a stay-at-home rocket scientist at the moment.
28:37Cut back, said JPL.
28:39You have kids?
28:41Denny is, uh, ten.
28:44And our little Mia, she's three.
28:47You?
28:48What son?
28:49TK.
28:50You might have met him.
28:52He works with me.
28:53He's probably climbing the walls right now.
28:56Now that you mention it, I did notice the resemblance of the briefing.
29:01Yeah, people say that.
29:02I think he looks like his mom, Gwen.
29:04If, uh, the plague was good for one thing, it was getting us back together.
29:10After 15 years of being divorced, it looks like we're giving it another go-around, which
29:14sounds crazy as I say it out loud.
29:17You know what's crazy?
29:18Getting hit by a lava bomb.
29:20That is crazy.
29:22I'm sorry.
29:24For what?
29:27The wind has shifted.
29:30We gotta find another way out.
29:31There's no other way out.
29:33If the wind keeps blowing smoke in here, we won't last ten minutes.
29:37You know she's never seen those kids again.
29:39Shut up.
29:40You picked a real nice tomb, though.
29:41Shut up!
29:44Captain Shred, I believe you're talking to somebody who's not here.
29:50Well, I'm aware.
29:53But it did give me a good idea.
30:03You sure it's not here?
30:04Maybe they deployed it.
30:06Not according to the board.
30:09Go, go, go, go.
30:12Hey, you know, you don't have to do this.
30:14There's no reason that both of us get fired.
30:16Hey, my friend's up there, too.
30:17She would do the same thing for me.
30:20I think.
30:21She would.
30:22Okay.
30:25Oh, hey, here it is.
30:26Let's go.
30:27What?
30:28Uh, no, that's not it.
30:29What do you mean?
30:30118 in Los Angeles.
30:31Oh, yeah, no, we're not taking that.
30:33Bobby would kill me if I brought it back all scratched up.
30:36No.
30:37This is the key to your truck.
30:39Hey, dumbass.
30:40Dumbasser.
30:41Did you stop and consider the consequences of what you're about to do at all?
30:44You obviously don't know Buck.
30:46You two didn't seriously think that you could sneak off and drive into wildfires, did you?
30:49Yes.
30:50Well, that ain't gonna happen.
30:52You think you're gonna stop us?
30:53Stop you?
30:54We're going with you.
30:56Come on, let's go.
31:15You think these being a hundred years will make them more or less stable?
31:18Definitely less.
31:20You see the crystals?
31:21It's nitroglycerin.
31:23Sweats out of the dynamite after years and recrystallizes.
31:27Definitely makes it more volatile.
31:28You can put it down nice and easy.
31:32God, how good.
31:34Isn't that how we're killed?
31:35Oh.
31:37I better have too much than too little.
31:40Give me your brush shirt.
31:42Feeling chilly?
31:45We're gonna lock ourselves in a mine.
31:48We may as well leave a marker outside just in case somebody comes by.
31:53Smart enough.
31:55All right.
31:56Okay.
31:56Wish me luck.
31:59Try not to blow us up.
32:15For the record, this wasn't actually my idea.
32:20Okay.
32:22All right.
32:26Are we really doing this?
32:28I don't think we have much of a choice.
32:30Unless we're dying to smoke, intolation is your thing.
32:33You want to do the honors?
32:50Go, go, go, go!
32:59Go, go, go!
33:00Go, go, go, go.
33:05Go, go, go, go.
33:06Go, go, go, go, go.
33:07Go, go, go, go.
33:08Go, go, go, go, go, go.
33:08Go, go, go, go, go.
33:10Is it just my traumatic brain injury, or does the air in here feel a little thin?
33:18Oh.
33:20Every time we exhale, we poison the air a little bit more.
33:28Unventilated mines fill up fast with CO2, nitrogen, and water vapor.
33:34It's called a black dam.
33:36Maybe this wasn't the best plan.
33:40That was the only plan.
33:46I should never have let you get on that chopper.
33:49I'm sorry.
33:51What are you talking about?
33:52Well, you're invincible, remember?
33:56Yeah.
33:58And it's the people around me that tend not to be.
34:04Is that what's been haunting you?
34:07Someone who didn't make it.
34:10The people who didn't make it couldn't fit into this mineshaft.
34:17But recently, a paramedic got killed, not?
34:22Two feet from it.
34:26It's brutal.
34:28Brutal sometimes.
34:31Being the one who survives.
34:34You piss me off.
34:38You know, I was 14 of my brothers, so I'm not 11.
34:44We all went into the tower, but...
34:48I'm the only one who walked out.
34:53I've never admitted this to anyone.
34:58I've never forgiven them.
35:03You've got a lot of guilt about it.
35:05I've got guilt over everything.
35:09Over surviving, over forcing my son to follow in my footsteps,
35:15over failure of my marriage,
35:17over telling this all you're a complete stranger.
35:24I'm probably going to die anyway.
35:26Now you're just trying to cheer me up.
35:34God.
35:37You want to talk about guilt, Captain?
35:45I killed a girl.
35:53With my ambulance.
35:57I've been 16 years old.
36:05I'm so sorry.
36:09So, yeah.
36:11You're not the only one
36:14locked in here.
36:19I've got it.
36:25I'm dead.
36:28Night-night.
36:29Night-night.
36:52Dad!
36:53Dad!
36:57Dad!
37:01They're not in here!
37:02Buck, they're not in here!
37:03They made it out!
37:05They made it out!
37:06Hey, let's band out
37:07and let's search this area here, yep!
37:09Dad!
37:11Dad!
37:14Cap!
37:16Cap!
37:17Cap!
37:18Cap!
37:20Cap!
37:22Guys! Guys, over here!
37:25Over here!
37:28Cap!
37:29Cap!
37:30Cap!
37:33Cap!
37:34Cap!
37:38Cap!
37:39Cap!
37:45Hey, I see them!
37:47Hey!
37:48Hey, keep going!
37:49Cap!
37:52Dad!
37:55We got you.
37:56We're here.
37:58I got a pulse!
38:00Stay with me.
38:01Hey, stay with me.
38:02Stay with me.
38:02I got you.
38:03I got you.
38:04Hey, we're here.
38:06We got you.
38:08We're here.
38:09We're here.
38:09We're here to get you out of here.
38:11Stay with us.
38:12Close us to step in.
38:13Come on, we gotta move.
38:14Hey, we'll be alright.
38:15We're here, too.
38:17We'll be here.
38:21We'll be here.
39:01Look who's up.
39:04Captain Vega, what are you doing here?
39:08Wait a minute.
39:09Are you here?
39:10I'm here, Owen.
39:12Here, take these.
39:14They'll help with that headache.
39:18When did you get in?
39:19Uh, first light.
39:23After our talk yesterday, I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe you needed a friend out here.
39:29Turns out you have several.
39:31No, I'm sure.
39:33Thank you for coming.
39:35Y'all put a real hurt on that fire, by the way.
39:38And between the containment line and the rain last night, they're saying it's boxed in.
39:43Commander dismissed all the out-of-state crews.
39:52So if y'all get hungry, there's a great barbecue place in Fort Stockton called Rudy's Ribs.
39:56You just tell them that Judd sent you.
39:58Thanks, but I think we're gonna go to my parents in El Paso to eat.
40:03Judd, you're all right, even if you were a bulldog.
40:05Well, and it makes sense that a California firefighter as good as you had to have been raised in Texas,
40:10so...
40:11All right, friend.
40:14Hey, Marwani.
40:16I was hoping I could get a pic for Insta.
40:18I thought you were off social media.
40:19Yeah, well, it's not every day you get to take a selfie with hashtag Firefox.
40:29Oh, now that is just way too much pretty.
40:32Shut up, Strickland.
40:35Brother.
40:37Great work.
40:38Hey, great work with you guys.
40:41And for the love of God, please follow Buck back on Insta.
40:47Marvin Chavez.
40:48C-H-A-V-E-Z.
40:50He gets out in about three months.
40:51I will keep my eyes open.
40:53I'm cool.
40:53Drive safe.
40:54Hey, Buck.
40:58You really put yourself out there.
41:00I can't thank you enough.
41:01What we do, right?
41:03Yeah.
41:05Hey, uh, if you ever find yourself in L.A., we should get together.
41:10Sure.
41:11I gotta mention, though, I already have a boyfriend, and it's pretty serious, so, uh...
41:16But it was really nice meeting you, man.
41:18Take care.
41:20Good working with you, man.
41:21Great working with you, too.
41:23What's in?
41:29I'd say I'm glad to see you back on your feet, but you shouldn't be back on your feet.
41:35I heard you were shipping out, and I wanted to make sure I caught you.
41:40I'm still amazed we made it out of there alive.
41:43I told you.
41:45I'm invincible.
41:48Is that really your takeaway from the experience?
41:51I cannot think of a more logical explanation for how we survived what we did and still walked out of
41:56there alive.
41:58Well, actually, I can think of about two teams of logical explanations, and we didn't walk out.
42:05We were carried out.
42:07Uh...
42:08Who knew you could get some stone or an oxygen?
42:13An O2 Veritas.
42:16Pure oxygen can give rise to feelings of euphoria.
42:21Yeah, I'm not so sure it was euphoria how I was feeling.
42:25What happens in the mine shaft stays in the mine shaft.
42:29I appreciate that.
42:33Maybe that's not the only thing that could stay in the mine shaft.
42:37Maybe you could leave some of those ghosts in there too.
42:47It was a pleasure to share a foxhole with you, Captain.
42:51Call me Owen.
42:55Take care of yourself, Owen.
42:59Even if you are invincible.
43:11You are so good.
43:13I'm not so good.
43:16I'm not so good.
43:19I'm not so good.
