Original subtitles

I wanna introduce you to some people.

If I can make things happen for you,

you damn well better believe I will.

No, if all the same, I'd rather lay low. Grab a drink with my guys.

I wanna connect a sledgehammer to a Halligen bar.

You wanna MIG weld it.

It's a Slamigan. We're gonna be rich.

Zach broke up with me.

Let's stay in. Just you and me.

Anna, she was her best when the two of you were together.

Cancer's in my bones.

My odds are not good.

No, baby.

It's good to see Antonio again.

Hey.

Morning.

What time is it? It's 7:15.

You'd better get a move on.

Oh, I slept through my alarm.

Did, um... Antonio headed out.

Said not to wake you.

Okay. Just give me ten minutes, okay?

I understand.

No, I just... I really don't think I can

make it tomorrow.

I wish I could. It looks like I gotta work.

Okay, yeah. I appreciate it.

Listen, we'll talk soon, okay?

I gotta run. Bye.

You working a double shift?

What?

I just thought I heard you say you work tomorrow, too.

Uh, no. It's...

Okay.

Uh, you driving this morning, or we taking separate cars?

No, I can drive.

Good, 'cause my heater conked out.

Crack of dawn.

Yeah, sure.

It hurts.

What's this? A little present for myself.

It's my squadaversary.

He made rescue squad on this date nine years ago.

Exactly.

Didn't you have to go back for retraining seven years ago?

Once in squad, always in the squad.

Well, move it on down. I don't want us bumping knees.

Well, look at this.

It's no longer the squad table.

This is now officially the Gabriela Dawson nap time area.

I knew this was a bad idea.

Truck 81, Ambulance 61, car accident,

91 South Oakley Boulevard.

Hey, hey, hey! Wait, wait, wait!

Sir, do not move! My head is bleeding.

Okay, but if you move, the car can drop

and make any injuries you have worse.

Otis, Kidd, support the high side with cribbing stacks

and paratech struts.

Mouch, Herrmann, stabilize the low side with cribbing.

Yep. Copy that.

Ma'am? You okay in there?

Driver's eyes are open. She's not talking.

Looks like no airbags.

Steering wheel could have concussed her.

She could be in shock. Wanna give it a whirl?

Ma'am, what's your name?

Her name's Holly. Boylan.

And I'm Scott.

Okay, what happened, Holly?

I'd like to know that myself.

Tell them, honey.

How'd it happen?

I, um, a shopping cart was rolling by itself

across the lot. It was about to bang into us.

I just... I...

Turned the wheel, and my foot must have slipped.

Careful! Gotta brace your foot.

Just...

No, no!

Get this stupid thing off me.

Ma'am, don't move your head until we get your neck stabilized.

He... He...

I'm sorry about all this.

Happens all the time.

Maybe not quite like this,

but trust me, we've seen worse.

You ready to move her?

Yeah.

Is there anything else you wanna tell me?

I can't.

No, you don't need to check my vitals, I'm fine.

What's up with him?

He refused treatment.

I told him there could be internal injuries, but he insisted.

You guys married?

Yeah. We're going to Chicago Med.

Hold on, hold on.

She's gonna be fine.

We're just gonna wait in the tow truck.

No, she's not fine. She has a head injury, and we're taking her to Med.

Hey, she can refuse care just like I did, right?

Right?

Holly, just tell them you refuse care.

Sir, can I talk to you for a second?

Stay right here.

What?

Look at your car.

You ever seen anything like that?

Herrmann, Mouch, you've been doing this a while.

You ever seen one like this?

Eh, definitely a first.

Ditto.

So? I wasn't even looking.

I was on my phone.

Next...

Hey, wait a minute! What...

What is this?

We're gonna check on the well being of your wife.

She'll be at Chicago Med.

Or, since you refuse treatment, you can wait here for the cops.

I'm sure they're gonna want to talk to you.

Let's go.

Pack it up.

How's it feeling?

Everyone's jealous.

What are you gonna do when third shift comes in?

Put a sign on it that says, "Off limits."

Hey, where you guys been?

We had a call.

Well, there's a sales meeting apparently happening that I don't know about.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah.

Hey! Nick Porter!

Hey, Julian! Gentlemen, Julian.

What the hell's going on?

Hey, thanks for bringing us on.

Uh, I apologize.

You guys showed up, and I didn't know we were already bringing people on.

With shirts, apparently.

Well, I was talking to my buddy, Nick,

about your brilliant invention.

And he said he was looking for a new product to rep.

It just so happens that Julian and I were talking

over at Chief's house, and we thought,

why don't we have two salesmen out in the field?

How are we gonna pay for all this?

Don't worry about that, Cruz.

You gotta spend it to earn it.

I have been spending it just to make a few more prototypes.

We can discuss this later.

The important thing about this meeting

is that our sales force gets their marching orders.

Fantastic.

So, uh, Nick and I were talking.

We thought maybe we could start with the Midwest model.

I take everything below Indianapolis.

Kansas City, St. Louis.

Yeah, I'll take your Minnesotas,

your Wisconsins, your Michigans, Ohio.

Yeah, we think there's real money to be made.

We just gotta land a few orders and you'll be talking profits

instead of expenses. Exactly.

You know the last time I saw something like this?

The Snuggie.

Yup.

I saw your brother-in-law here.

Yes, he thinks he sees Slamigan money falling from trees.

Told him I don't wanna hear anything about it.

Something on your mind, Captain?

Yeah, yeah. A call we had this morning.

Car wreck.

Wife driving, husband in the passenger's seat.

They were fine, except when I went to put the C-collar on,

she had bruises that weren't from the accident.

They were fading, on her neck.

I got the license plate.

I was thinking about calling Antonio.

But, uh, it wasn't a lot to go on.

I'm waiting for Dawson to get back from Med

to compare notes.

Okay. Call Antonio.

But I wanna make this clear.

After that...

It's a police matter.

Of course.

How is she? Her head's fine.

Did you see the bruises?

I saw them. I don't like them.

But the patient said she slipped getting out

of the bath tub.

I'm not a lie detector. That's my brother's department.

- If she doesn't want... - No, we're leaving!

Ma'am, ma'am, you need to stay for observation.

She's leaving.

This isn't a fascist country. Yet.

We can go when we want.

It is our serious recommendation that you...

Sir, your wife suffered a head injury.

We should keep her here until...

Yeah, you know, I suffered a head injury, too.

You don't see me bitching about it.

She's fine, obviously.

Hey, why don't you think about your wife for a minute?

Okay, I know what this is.

Yeah, you get in one little accident,

and you got medical bills out the wazoo.

Just so the insurance companies can really stick it to you.

You think I don't have enough to deal with a car that's now totaled?

Who's gonna pay my deductible on that?

If this is a financial thing, we can...

Oh, you people. You don't get it!

All one big system, just sticking it to everyone!

You write down whatever it is you need to write down.

We refuse treatment. Let's go, Holly.

Yeah, well, I need to hear it from her.

I feel fine, doctor. I'd like to go home.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Well, she refused treatment, but you could tell she didn't have a choice.

She's terrified of him. I called Antonio with the license plate.

Is he coming by?

No, he offered to send an officer to their address

to check it out, but I've seen how that sort of thing can backfire.

I told him I'd like to swing by myself first.

Good. If there's anybody who can convince her to get help, it's you.

Yeah, well, I don't know about that.

But I've gotta try.

Hey, do you guys have any cold or flu medicine

on the ambo? Why?

'Cause I might have a cold or flu.

Ooh, not today. Go quarantine yourself.

Oh, thank you for the bedside manner.

You know how those things blitz through the firehouse. I'm already running on empty.

Check the jump...

Choo.

Go.

You're firing up the grill? Maybe.

Burgers? Brisket.

I left my gloves in your car.

Uh, keys are on the desk in my office.

Cool. All right.

- They're waterproof. - Yeah.

Not water resistant. It's pretty impressive.

- What do you know? - Yeah.

But the size of it, the sheer...

Hey, you want a sandwich?

I left out the... No, I don't want a sandwich.

I wanna know what the deal is with the Slamigan.

The deal?

The deal is, we're gonna get rich.

See, that's just it.

We have no deal.

Sure, we do!

A handshake deal. There hasn't been a handshake!

There's been no handshake.

You don't wanna partner with us?

No, I do. I just...

You guys move so fast.

There's already sales reps and, uh, logo shirts, and...

That reminds me.

All right.

Mouch and I were talking, and this is your company, Joe.

I mean, yeah, sure, we got a little, you know,

spending money to invest.

But it's your ingenuity, your grit,

that got this thing on its feet.

So you be the chairman and take 51% of the company, okay?

Herrmann and I will split the other 49%.

But what about Brett?

What about Brett, what?

There wouldn't be a Slamigan without all of your help on those prototypes.

Brett gets ten percent of the company.

Well, I guess she deserves a little...

From your share.

That's perfectly reasonable.

Aww, I've never owned any part of a...

I think she got overwhelmed by your generosity, Joe.

So let's talk about outgoing expenses.

Oh, sorry about that.

I shouldn't have looked at that chicken salad sandwich.

You want me to take 61 out of service So you can rest a minute?

No, I'm fine now.

I think I got it out of my system.

This may be psychosomatic after Otis said he had the flu.

You sure?

I think so.

I mean, one minute I'm achy and tired and nauseated.

The next, I feel fine.

I don't know what's going on.

I felt the same way this morning.

Yesterday, too.

Brett.

What?

You sound pregnant.

Are you late?

Antonio?

I can smell that meat all the way to Firehouse 21.

What are you doing? Slow cooking brisket?

Yeah, about five more hours.

Yeah, well, I got here too early, then.

Okay.

Look, I know I might have come on a little strong

this past month. A little?

Well, I've always been a bull in a china shop.

And the china, too, come to think of it.

All right, this is me extending my hand saying I'm in your corner.

Good. And you're gonna love this.

I'm having dinner with the Deputy Commissioner.

Frank's an old friend of mine.

Steve Mitchell and Gil Tanner from City Hall. All very good people to know.

No, I don't... No pressure.

But these aren't mouthpieces.

These are your kind of people.

Hard workers.

Trying to make Chicago stronger.

You don't like politics. I get that.

But there may come a time when you may need something

from the city or the department,

and it helps to be able to call a friendly face.

When is it? Tomorrow night.

What time? 7:30.

I'll text you the details.

Oe Yeah?

Yeah. Great.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Send some of this barbecue to 21.

Mrs. Boylan?

Mrs. Boylan.

It's Captain Casey from Firehouse 51.

I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing

after the accident this morning.

Please, my husband is upstairs.

If he finds out I was talking to you...

I know what you're dealing with.

I watched someone very close to me go through it.

Thank you for your concern, Captain.

Good-bye. Holly...

There are places you can go to get help.

No one can help me.

It's clear she lives in total fear of this guy.

Worse than that, she's given up all hope.

I ran Scott Boylan's ID.

Turns out we've had a few run-ins with him.

CPD was dispatched to his residence on two separate occasions.

Yeah, I responded twice to those calls back when I was in uniform.

Both domestic related.

Great.

The first call a neighbor phoned in saying he heard a disturbance.

When we got to the door, guy meets us halfway

down the sidewalk, tells us this is a waste of time.

Wife comes out, says she slipped in the bath tub.

Did you arrest him?

We didn't. She was convincing.

This is exactly the problem, Chief.

No victim, no crime. We can't make an arrest without a complainant.

And the second call?

About a month later, we get a 911 call.

Same house, but it was a hang up.

Meaning what?

The call went through to 911, but no one was on the line.

Dispatch sends a uniform by to be sure.

I recognize the house as soon as we roll up.

Wife says she was dialing 411 but her finger slipped.

But she's cradling her midsection,

and her husband's got bruised up knuckles.

Tell me you arrested him that time.

Yeah, Atwater put the cuffs on him, over the wife's objections.

But, look, I don't know what happened after that...

If he pled or the charges were dropped,

because there never was a trial.

This guy's gotta go down.

How do we put an end to this?

You tried talking to the wife.

I'll try talking to Boylan himself.

If I catch a whiff of probable cause,

I'll drag him in. If not...

If not...

At least he'll know he's got eyes on him.

That's the idea. Now sit tight till we get back to you.

Hey.

I'd love nothing more than to put bracelets on this guy again.

We were so careful.

I don't understand.

Well, you know, let's not jump

to any conclusions until we get to Med.

Grab a test. We can't go to Med.

No way. Take me to a pharmacy.

Somewhere out of our district.

Hospital tests are way better indicators...

Nope, you're right. Pharmacy's a much better idea.

Best one.

How y'all doing today?

Uh, can I, uh...

Need to see if my husband knocked me up.

Oh, uh, okay.

18 dollars and 42 cents.

Ma'am?

Uh, Ma'am? Keep the change.

Hey.

You okay?

No.

Here's the thing.

Knowing is better than not knowing.

I can't be pregnant, Gabby.

When we come to it.

Come on.

This is not good.

What is it?

Hey, Otis, buddy, do you think you could cover my rent this month?

It's just a floater until the next paycheck.

Of course.

What's going on, Joe?

Uh, nothing, it's just that I was writing so many checks

making the prototype, I guess I lost track.

Funds are in the danger zone.

Oh, well, hey, listen.

Mouch and I will pay our share.

What, no. No, no way.

I'm the CEO and the chairman.

And like you said, you gotta spend it to make it.

So, I spent it.

Now I just gotta trust we make it.

That doesn't seem right.

Hey, give me a call if you hear from Nick or Julian.

What... Sure, but you know, that might take a...

Little time.

You need help with that? Hah.

Did Hank Aaron need help hitting home runs?

Oh, so you're calling your shot?

That was Babe Ruth.

Hey, so, when I went to go grab the keys...

And I swear I wasn't snooping.

I saw the letter on your desk.

From Springfield.

Why aren't you going?

It's just not a good idea.

Of course it's a good idea.

You... You don't think you can handle it?

Maybe you should stay out of this, okay?

I know you pretty well, Kelly.

And you can. You can handle it.

In fact...

You have to.

I'm gonna go, too.

You can thank me later.

Where is he?

What? Where's that fireman?

There he is.

Hey, did you call the cops on me?

'Cause I'm gonna rip your stinkin" head off!

What, do you beat your wife, tough guy?

Hey, you go to hell. Oh, come on!

See what it's like when someone hits back.

Stay out of my business.

Hey, get in your car, get the hell out of here, or I'll let him kick your ass.

Hell with all of you.

Next time you won't see me coming.

I'm right here, pal.

Enough!

You! Leave now.

We went by there and talked to them both. She sang the same old song.

"I slipped in the bath tub." "I fell down the stairs."

Our hands are tied here. He threatened me.

Arrest him for that.

I press charges. There were a half dozen witnesses.

Yeah, I was standing right there.

Look, if that's what you wanna do, absolutely.

Could jam him up for 90 days if he doesn't have a good lawyer.

In and out, if he does.

Maybe we can get him away from her,

even for a short time, talk to her alone.

There are a number of no-contact women's shelters.

Look, you have to know... And trust me when I say I've dealt with this before...

If she doesn't wanna go, she's not going.

Doesn't matter how many brochures we give her

or if we walk her inside the front door.

She has to decide she wants it.

The parking lot, she was behind the wheel.

He was looking down at his phone.

She swerved and floored it over a cluster of pylons.

I don't think it was an accident.

Soon as we got the husband out of the vehicle,

she looked at me with desperation in her eyes.

She's desperate. I felt it.

She's looking for a lifeline. I'd like to give her one before he kills her.

Okay. We have our marching orders.

I'll talk to Richardson in violent crimes.

And this woman I know, Charlene,

she's a Victim Information and Referral Advocate. We'll make our pitch to her.

Thanks. Okay.

Let us know if we can do anything else.

Yeah.

I'll call violent crimes? Yeah.

Okay, I'll do that.

Hey, there she is.

I'll take that.

Good to see you, Antonio. Hey, sis.

I'm gonna call Sarge. Let him know what we're doing.

Yeah, good.

Hey. Sorry I took off earlier.

But you were so cute there with your eyes closed all snuggled up.

Oh, yeah. Well, I, um...

I hope it's okay.

I mean, if I wasn't on duty, I'd have stayed all day.

Hey, what's going on?

I don't know.

It's okay.

Hey, what is it?

Antonio, I have to...

Truck 81, Squad 3,

Ambulance 61, 525 West Cullerton.

They say West Cullerton? Yeah.

That's their house, the guy,

Scott Boylan, the wife beater.

Let's go.

Truck 81, take the rear and check the first floor.

Rescue Squad, primary search on the second floor.

51, let's get a hose line on that fire.

Otis, you and Mouch vent the roof.

Herrmann, Kidd, with me.

Clear rooms and work our way up to assist Rescue Squad.

Capp, Tony, you head upstairs and clear the bedrooms

on the north side. Cruz, stick with me.

We'll clear the south.

Okay, we have reason to believe the house is owned

by the man who tried to mix it up with Casey on the apron floor.

He may be on scene.

He may be violent.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Tony, Capp, clear those rooms.

Copy! Cruz, with me.

Chief, the second floor's fully engulfed.

Copy.

Fire department! Call out!

Go that way. Copy!

Fire department, call out! Fire department, call out!

Fire department! Call out!

There is no way out.

Dawson, Brett! We've got a male, 30s, breathing, unconscious,

on his way to you!

DAWSON Copy. We're standing by.

Fire on the second floor fire is contained.

Holly. Listen to me.

I know you wanna talk.

I know that's why you wrecked the car.

Why you did this.

The person that went through this that I knew,

it was my mom.

And she went to prison for a long time,

for the way she handled it.

Now, you can go down that same road,

or you can walk into a no-contact shelter.

But it gets better. I promise you.

You have an entire life to live that you can't even see yet.

Thank you.

He's got a deep laceration on the side of his head.

Second, third degree burns.

Minor smoke inhalation.

Brett. Um, lung sounds are

slightly stridor, but stats are good.

Hey, uh, how'd he get that gash?

Saw him fall in the fire.

Yeah, exactly.

Hit his head on the bed post.

That's good enough for me.

Fire's out! Secondary search complete and negative, Chief!

Okay, let's get back in there to help them overhaul.

Let's go. Copy that, Chief.

Hey, Nick Porter just texted me.

He already has a purchase order.

What? Oh, thank God!

Where, when? How many Slamigans?

Otis, hold off on that loan, buddy.

You got it. He doesn't say the details.

Says he's sending a fax to the firehouse.

All right.

Oh, boy.

We'll reimburse the department for ink and, uh,

paper, of course.

Did you change your hair? I like that.

It's pretty.

Looks nice.

Two?

I'm sure it's a small firehouse.

Yeah, in Appleton.

Two? 51% of 330 is...

$168.30. Ooh.

Well, minus the commission, too.

But, hey, you know what?

Come on, Joe.

- We'll buy you breakfast. - Yeah.

I'm sure Denny's has a Grand Slam-igan.

Not cool!

Hey.

Burgess called, told me that she talked

to the Monmouth Women's Shelter and that they have a spot open.

Holly Boylan accepted.

That's great. Yeah.

She also told me that the husband is conscious.

He is not pressing charges.

I should have seen it coming, Chief.

I knew she was at the end of her rope.

Enough of that.

You did good.

Come on.

Put it in gear, roomie.

I'm just so glad you could make it.

Well, I'm glad to be here.

This... This wouldn't even have been possible

if Kelly hadn't started the ball rolling.

Ah, well, you took the reins.

I wish I could have done more.

Oh, you did plenty.

It is my pleasure to open the Anna Turner Children's Nursery

as part of our care and support of the families of children

going through cancer treatment.

Anna Turner was a bright light in this facility.

And what this nursery does is spreads that light,

that hope, that radiance she embodied.

I don't know what you mean. I'm a born navigator.

Yeah, well, we'll agree to disagree.

Hey, thanks for getting me there.

Any time you need someone to support you,

I'm your girl.

I know.

Have you been to the Harlo Diner?

They have the best milkshakes.

It's... They're good.

It's, like, 20 degrees out.

I am just throwing it out there.

I... No, I can't. I, uh...

I agreed to a dinner with Grissom

and some of these Chicago bigwigs.

And I'm barely gonna make it back in time.

Okay.

Pedal to the metal, then.

Hey.

Thanks for coming over.

I couldn't bear to do it on my own.

I understand.

I'm here for you.

Thank you.

I'm the one who keeps reminding Antonio that we're keeping it casual.

Seeing other people.

But watching him today, the way he's always looking after the vulnerable,

the people in need...

He makes a pretty great dad.

He does.

He does, but, um...

Maybe... Maybe you're just thinking a bit emotionally right now.

Maybe.

Or maybe this was meant to be.
