[Nickie] When you find a fire, then what do you do?
Generally, you call it in and you give a reading,
something called an azimuth reading,
where it kind of shows you where in the sky the fire is.
So, you, like, did some research?
Yeah, you have to.
You have to take a class to be able to do this.
[Nickie] I'm proud of you.
So, you really ready? It's me you're talking to.

Kate.
I hear you. He's on tilt.
I-- look, I don't want to be up here, either.
So then don't be up here.
He's my boss.
I mean, I need this job,
but trust me, I'm with you, all right?
There's a reason he's all worked up.
Now, you fucked up. You know that, right?
Yeah, and I also put out a fire in my first week.
- I saved his ass. - [Dan] I know.
So did I. He didn't even file a report.
That's what I'm saying. He's distraught.
It's not about you.
So what's his problem?
Earl doesn't want what happened to him
to happen to you.
Earl almost burned this whole town down.
His first year, he's a lookout, just like you.
Runs down into town to see Corinne.
He wasn't gone long.
Just half an hour, tops.
But he missed that first curl of smoke
and... [blows]
It spreads fast.
He came back up,
but he didn't need to be at 6300 feet
to see it was a crown fire.
He called it in.
But we missed the jump and...
look.
Almost took the whole mountain.
The whole town.
And he lost his buddy,
the pilot who went down there in the drop.
I guess if your wife's daddy has a state seat
in Boise, it all just...
goes away.
Truth is, you know...
who knows if the fire would have been any less costly
if Earl had called it in.
I mean...
you can't contain that kind of fury...
once it starts.
[flies buzzing]
No, you can't.
[tense music]
[wolf howling]
[Kate grunts]
[music stops]
[Kate] I've been beat up.
More than once.
I didn't know why you were on this mountain cape,
but I knew it had nothing to do with lookouts or fires or...
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Lots of bruises and breaks as a kid.
I broke my wrists deflecting blows.
Sick of being broken.
It's time to plant my feet and land a punch.
You should stay right here. It's beautiful.
[Kate] Maybe I will.
Tower's growing on me.
Let me ask you something.
What happens when your neighbor's food runs out?
You know how to shoot?
You mean to hunt?
I mean to not need anyone for anything.
[sighs] You know, I, uh...
hate guns.
- Mike had guns. - Yeah.
You learn how to shoot, you won't have to run anymore.
They keep a rifle up there?
[ominous music]
My uncle exposed himself to me in the pool house.
Soon after, he started crawling into bed with me.
I was 12.
He shot my dog for peeing in his car.
Just pulled over and left him for the maggots.
Wish I knew how to shoot back then.
[rifle clicks]
- [gunshot popping] - [grunts]
- [gunshot popping] - [Kate grunts]
God, I suck at this.
Nah, you're scared of the weapon
because you're scared of its power.
- Just surrender. - [rifle clicks]
Give in to its nature.
You surrender to your nature, you get your power.
Same with the gun. Got it?
Try again.
[gunshot popping]
[both laughing]
[Kate] Okay. Okay, here we go.
- [gunshot popping] - [Bertha] Yeah. Almost.
Oh, you clipped it.
Go, go, go, go, go.
- [gunshot popping] - [Bertha laughs]
- Yes. - I got it.
- I did get it. - Oh, my gosh.
[fire crackling]
So, you say your neighbor lives alone.
Mm-hmm.
- He doesn't have a lady? - No, no way.
All he talks about is his dead wife, so,
not exactly a turn on for the ladies.
Uh...
- Where'd you get these? - His bedroom.
You didn't have any of that tea, did you?
Good.
I don't know about your nerves,
but I bet it would have relaxed your legs.
- We gotta tell Earl. - We?
I shouldn't even be here.
You know, hanging with you,
raiding the cabin of a guy who's lived here 20 years,
taking his rifle.
No way. You get fired, I get arrested.
No, yeah, you're right.
- I'll tell him. - Nah. Don't be dense, Kate.
He's in on it.
Both him and Reggie.
[scoffs] Come on, Bertha. He's so by the books guy.
There's no way he doesn't say something.
Makes no sense.
It does if all he wants is you out of that tower.
It does if he never wanted you there
in the first place.
[insects buzzing]
[Dan panting] Kate!
Ow.
[thunder rumbles]
[wind howling]
Oh, was there a party last night?
[insects buzzing]
Barometer's low. 29.
Yeah, I mean, we'll probably get strikes tonight.
Be careful.
And, oh, listen,
maybe you could just tell Earl I came up,
if he-- if he asked.
I mean, these-- these trips up here
are kicking my ass.
I keep a secret.
[sighs]
[Dan] Okay. Thanks.
[ominous music]
[thunder rumbles]
Ah, you got my note!
Bertha, you shouldn't be here.
Yeah. [laughs] Well...
if he gets to steal your underwear,
we get to drink his booze.
- [glasses clinking] - Hey.
Mm. Mm.
Codgers like him...
need to get cut down like old growth.
Yeah.
- Bad things find me. - Nah, nah, nah, nah.
That's something Kate says to avoid power.
Like the gun.

Kate's fine, man.
Her reports are on time. They're accurate.
It's been seven weeks since she fucked up.
- She's good. - No. She's a risk.
- She's coming down. - [sighs]
You're not gonna lose your job, man.
Relax. You know people.

What, you want me to spell it out?
