After finishing talking to her, Brendan sees a car stereo in a jeep and tries to steal it. He appears still high and says he wants to help out and she says she doesn’t want him to be a part of their lives. Brendan goes to the restaurant she works at, and she tells him that it is his baby.

Eric’s wife Amanda (Jennifer Connelly) is already in the kitchen and reminds him of a fight they had last night, and he apologizes before heading to the fire.Įric’s crew is a 2nd level crew also called “deucers” which means they can’t go to the front lines of a wildfire. He’s getting all his supplies ready after being called to join in on stopping a wildfire near Phoenix. After the bear runs by it flashes to the house of Eric Marsh (Josh Brolin) who is the superintendent of the local wildfire crew in Prescott, Arizona.
