Original subtitles

I'm one that told you to keep your feelings about Brett to yourself.

Obviously, it was bad advice. I gotta tell her how I feel.

Good for you on Staton's endorsement.

Hi, I'm with the Sun Times.

Any truth to the claims that you received a large

cash kickback from a friend of Commissioner Staton's?

Everything okay? It's not about whether

you can get pregnant, it's about whether you should.

What does that mean?

It could be fatal.

Look, whatever you're up to, do not mess with Kelly.

Nicholas is missing. I don't know what to do.

Take it easy, okay? I'm sure that he's fine.

We cannot issue an Amber Alert unless we have reason to believe

that the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death.

- From what you've described... - How the hell

am I supposed to know that if I can't get a hold of my son?

Hey, anything that you can do to help us out,

it'll be greatly appreciated, Joe.

Becky?

Where are you?

Okay, I'm gonna come to you. Good.

Yeah, okay.

That was my babysitter.

They went ice-skating,

and then, um, she took Nicholas back to her house.

She was charging her phone and they both fell asleep.

I'm... I'm so embarrassed.

Hey, uh, thanks, Joe. Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

It's perfectly understandable.

Let's go get him.

It turns out the babysitter's mom was making

spaghetti or something. They went to her house

and fell asleep watching TV.

What?

Well, it was just seems like Renee overreacted.

What was she supposed to do?

She goes home, there's no note, there's no nothing.

She tries to get in touch with the babysitter.

It goes straight to voicemail.

Anyone would freak out.

Uh, sure.

Hey.

Uh, so,

I've been thinking about it a lot since

we left the fertility clinic.

And, um, I don't wanna be rash or impulsive but...

I've decided that we're gonna keep trying for a baby.

You've decided?

Well, it's my body, so it's my choice.

I'm the one taking on the risk.

And I get it. I get it.

I know what you're gonna say, especially since they said that

there was a 10% risk that something could go wrong,

but the way I see it,

there means there's a 90% chance that we could

be happy parents to our child.

And haven't we had some fun trying?

Look,

I know you've been wanting to be a dad since I first met you.

This is our time.

No, ma'am, all I can offer you is, "No comment."

You will have to take that up with.

Chief Huffhines in the public relations department.

Thank you.

I haven't seen anything online yet.

Well, maybe there's hope for fact-checking in the world.

Any idea how this bribery story got started?

There's no mystery there. It had to be Gris.

He's the only other person who knew about it.

He also knows it's a bunch of lies.

I'm gonna handle the story the same way we handled

the incident itself, above board and by the book.

Squad 3, Engine 51.

Construction fire. 81 South Aberdeen St.

Let's go.

What happened?

Our crew must've broken a gas main.

The lumber, it just went up like kindling.

We'll fight the fire from the second floor.

Go.

Battalion 25 to Main, we have a ruptured gas main.

We need the gas company here ASAP to shut this thing down.

51, drop two lines, one to cover the team inside,

one to be in position to extinguish the fire

once this gas is shut off.

- Let's go! - Copy that, Battalion 25.

- Hey, help! - Get us out of here!

Help!

Hey!

Here. Help!

We got two men trapped.

51, send your line straight down.

I need your hose line down there.

Bend the line into a U and send it down.

We'll pull these guys out using the hose.

Ready, Chief. Go.

Hey, the water curtain will keep the heat back.

Get behind me.

Coming down to you, Lieutenant.

One at a time. Step on the hose, wrap your arms up.

- They'll bring you up. - Got it.

And pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Come on.

You okay? Yeah.

And pull!

Pull! We got you.

Coming to you, Lieutenant.

Severide, get out of there!

Pull!

Pull! Pull!

Pull!

You good? Yeah.

Quick thinking, Chief.

Gas company is on the scene.

Yes, thank you. Two nights.

Oh, hey, do you guys have a shuttle

from the airport to Blackberry Farms?

Oh, oh, great. Thank you so much.

Blackberry Farms?

I saw that place on the Travel Channel.

That is swanky.

The Slamigan is blowing up.

We already have eight new orders across the Midwest,

and it looks like we're gonna hit

six figure revenue by third quarter.

That's great!

I figured I'd celebrate. By booking two nights

at one of the most romantic spots in America?

You taking Otis?

Uh, I'm gonna tell Brett the great news about our company

and then I'm gonna ask her to go with me.

I just...

Just figured I'll put it all out there, you know?

Tell her how I really feel.

Grand gesture.

And if I get rejected, well,

at least I didn't hold back.

Is that crazy?

It is, it's crazy. I'm a moron.

It's not too late for me to back out.

I should back out. Should I back out?

No, you should not back out.

You sure?

Look, you can never go wrong with a grand gesture.

Thank you.

Hey!

I got lunch duties today.

Oh, yeah? What's on the menu?

Well, that is what I was coming out here to talk to you about.

See, there are certain privileges

to going out with the cook,

like you get a say in what she serves up.

Please say chicken parm.

Please say chicken parm.

Chicken parm? Ah, that's my specialty!

Excuse me.

Can I steal him for a second?

Hi. Hey.

Sorry to barge in on you like this,

but we have a problem. Okay, what's up?

Well, the Crowder Refinery has brought on Rick Rubio as co-counsel.

He's a tough, tough defense attorney

with a forte for discrediting expert witnesses.

Okay, so how do we beat this guy?

Um, I had some of the young litigators

mock up some questions that you might draw on cross.

I would love to go over these with you

if there's a conference room that we can borrow.

Um, yeah, of course. Okay.

Here, I got it. Oh, thank you.

Uh, and hey, chicken parm sounds great.

I will get right on it.

Ah, Boden.

I think we may have gotten out in front of this bribery story.

The commissioner has responded

to the Tribune's questions through my office.

What did he say? Well,

he acknowledged that a certain battalion chief

did receive an improper cash gift,

but as soon as the commissioner learned about it,

he insisted it be returned.

He's not naming any names, but, uh...

But that's a lie. It's an interpretation.

Did he mention it was his buddy

who made the illicit payment?

No one's getting in trouble here, Wallace.

Commissioner Staton wants to preserve his reputation

as he heads over to FEMA.

By throwing our chief under the bus.

By putting this to bed.

I'm done falling. Hey, Wallace...

Chief Hatcher?

Oh, just who I was looking for.

Uh, what can I do for you?

I know we've had our past differences,

but I've always thought of you as one of the fiercest,

most battle-tested paramedics in the CFD.

Thank you, Chief. So I'll get right to it.

Puerto Rico is still in a bad way.

There's a lot of people in need of power and assistance,

so we're sending a team of paramedics down there to help

with the relief efforts, and I need some volunteers.

You were the first person who came to mind.

I'm flattered.

It's just, it's not a good time.

It never is, but this is an important cause.

I appreciate all this, Chief, I do.

I just got a lot going on right now.

Hey, no problem.

I understand.

I thought you were more of a man, Carl.

Excuse me? I thought you were more

of a firefighter than a cheap mudslinger.

You better rethink everything

coming out of your mouth right now, Chief.

I know it was you.

I know you leaked to whatever reporter you have

in your phone list that I took some money.

You also know that itisn't true.

I did the right thing with that offering.

You need to do the right thing and tell the press

what happened in the commissioner's office.

You through? Yes, I'm through.

Then get the hell out.

You have no integrity

and no character.

Word is, there was some shouting coming from Chief Grissom's office.

What can I do for you now, Chief Huffhines?

Well, I'm here to put your mind at ease, actually.

I spoke personally with the reporters,

and they are dropping the story.

I'm glad to hear it.

Unfortunately, the commissioner can no longer endorse you.

I figured. Come on, Wallace.

You understand how this stuff works.

And anyway, you're still in the running.

I very much doubt that.

I wouldn't say that if it weren't true.

My understanding is that Dale Cerutti's

still pushing for you, and quite frankly,

Carl Grissom has rubbed more people than you the wrong way.

My advice?

Lay low, and, uh,

maybe ease up on the shouting at headquarters.

Copy that.

Yeah.

I've been thinking.

Yeah? Yeah.

Why don't we adopt?

I wanna be a dad, and it doesn't matter to me

if we're the birth parents if we take...

After what we went through with Louie?

That won't happen again.

'Cause I'm not going through it again.

No way I'm gonna risk it.

But you'll risk your own health?

Matt,

what happened with Louie...

What happened was gut-wrenching and painful,

and it nearly broke me.

We have a plan.

Forget the fertility clinic. Let's stick to the plan.

And why do you think so, Lieutenant?

Because of my 16 years of service

to the Chicago Fire Department.

But you've never actually worked

in the office of fire investigation.

I've worked with them on many occasions.

Okay, well, how many is many?

Is it one? Two? Ten?

Over the years, 64.

Good. Yes, yes, yes, precision.

That is exactly the kind of thing that's needed

to instill confidence in this jury.

You stay calm, you stick to the facts just like that.

I've never gotten to see you in action.

It's impressive.

Hmm. Thank you.

Okay...

Lieutenant Severide,

can you show me in this diagram right here

where the OFI determined that the fire started?

- Ambulance 61. - Man down from unknown causes.

58 West Cicero.

Ooh, how you doing there...

Spencer. What happened?

Slipped.

Can we come in?

I guess.

You guys bring any food?

Uh, no, that's Postmates.

Can you call them?

Uh, yeah, what do you want? Nuggets? Fries?

Yeah. Aw, man.

First shift didn't restock the jump bag.

I'm gonna go grab some gauze and Kerlix from the ambo.

I can do it. No, no, no, I got it.

All right, let's see.

Do you have any towels in the kitchen, or...

No idea.

Well, I gotta stop this cut from bleeding.

My neighbor's messed up.

What?

She's messed up.

Back there.

See? Messed up.

Help.

Main, I need a 10-1.

Ambulance 61 to Main.

Main, can you read me? Help.

Here.

My girls... Don't, don't.

Don't talk. I have to...

Gabby! Shh, quit yelling.

Spencer, go back into the other room.

You gotta quit yelling.

I mean it! Now!

No, no, no, no. No, don't.

No, ma'am, ma'am. Wendy.

My partner... My partner is coming right back.

Okay? You just have to stick with me.

My girls.

My girls...

- It's okay. - Brett?

Gabby! Call a 10-1!

He stabbed her. He's gone.

Ambulance 61, we need a 10-1.

Ugh, okay, Ambulance 61, we need a 10-1!

Can you hear me? Okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey, they're on their way.

Tell them.

No, no, Wendy. Tell them.

No.

No, no.

No, no, Wendy, Wendy, wait!

Wendy, no.

No.

Cops are on the way.

We received a call, man down from unknown causes. We went up to apartment 16.

He answered the door, so we thought the apartment was his.

Actually, he lived down the hall.

No idea why he did it, other than gakked out of his mind.

We're sending a couple of uniforms to the day school for the daughters.

I'll call you later if I need anything more.

Okay, thanks.

You okay?

Come on, let's go home.

Hey, we heard. You okay?

Yeah, uh, no, it was a... It was a rough call.

I just need to breathe. I'm good.

Take as much time as you need.

I'll take 61 out of service until you give me the go-ahead.

Oh, that's not necessary, Chief.

I... I'm good to go.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah, we're okay.

I'm sorry about everything.

I don't wanna fight anymore.

Me neither.

I have an errand to run, but...

Maybe we can set aside lunch today and just

talk everything out?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Welcome to Caring Hill.

Hello, I'm Matt Casey.

I called earlier for an appointment with Devon.

Oh, yes, I'm Devon Dawsey. I'm the one you spoke with.

Ah, nice to meet you.

Come on in, Matt.

Is your wife here?

No, no, no,

I'm on a fact-finding mission for both of us.

Huh, okay, well, come on in,

and I'll give you a rundown on how we operate.

Thanks.

Well, if Carl Grissom makes commissioner,

expect some changes.

Any new appointment is gonna make his mark.

I mean 51 changes.

Come on, you think?

You guys talking about the commissioner spot?

Hey, Jerebko. What're you hearing?

I got a buddy who works down at city hall.

Says the mayor's asking for analytics.

Wants to make a real informed choice so as to, you know,

push back against the Chicago way

of handing out big jobs to your friends.

That's gotta work in Boden's favor.

Eh, that's not what my captain at 99's saying.

Says Grissom's district has the best statistics

in all the CFD, more calls, more saves, everything.

Well, I'm gonna hold out hope that the best man

wins in the end. Hey,

any of you guys seen Brett?

No, I thought she was at the apartment.

She was, but then she left.

She looked a little distraught, so I was hoping

she came here to be with friends.

Haven't seen her.

Kelly, hi. I'd like to introduce you to

firefighters Alec Burks

- and this is Dan Exum. - Hey.

These are the men that were injured during the accident.

This is Lieutenant Kelly Severide.

Can't thank you enough for testifying on our behalf.

It means a lot. Glad to do it.

Hope it helps. Oh, it will.

All right, gentlemen.

So there is a conference room

set up to hold the witnesses in before the trial goes underway.

You seen Severide?

I need to go over some equipment requests with him.

Uh, he's taken a furlough day.

Oh, right, he's testifying.

My understanding is, it's an important case for firefighters' safety.

Yeah, that's what he keeps saying.

Hey.

What's up?

Nothing.

Nothing, I just, I, um...

I'm just ready for things to get back to normal around here.

You and me both.

Yeah.

Hey.

What's this?

Just hear me out.

I wanted to gather all the information I could,

and put it out on the table

so we could make an informed decision.

I reached out to an adoption consultant

who was really impressive.

You'd like her.

And this isn't like Louie's situation.

These kids aren't from the foster system.

Devon can help us find a young couple

who maybe isn't ready for parenthood,

and we can adopt the baby from birth.

We can be the only parents our child would ever know.

And...

Why did you think it'd be okay to talk to them without me?

Well, if we're being fair, this isn't just your decision,

as much as you wanna think it is.

I have some say here... What happens in five years

when the birth mother decides she is ready for parenthood?

What happens when she sues for custody?

Our information can be private, Gabby.

Okay, 'cause that worked out so great last time.

Maybe you don't remember a stranger on our doorstep

on our wedding day, but I do.

I am not adopting, Matt.

I wanna have my own baby.

Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Well, I... I want to also, but, Gabby, you can't have one.

I didn't mean it...

- Ambulance 61. - Bicycle accident.

32 West Madison.

Hey, what happened?

What's it look like?

It looks like you ran your bicycle through a sidewalk sign.

Let me take a look.

Okay, easy, easy.

Looks like you may have broken it.

Brett, gauze and a sling.

Brett.

What? Gauze and a sling.

I thought you said scissors. I didn't.

Okay. Come on, Brett,

gauze and a sling, let's go. I'm getting them.

Then do it.

Lieutenant, what happens

to a company when it cuts corners like this?

If they get away with it, if nothing goes wrong,

they stand to make a lot of money.

Objection. Speculation.

Your Honor, this is Lieutenant Severide's

expert testimony in his own words.

I'll allow it. Thank you, Your Honor.

And, Lieutenant, in 16 years of service

to the Chicago Fire Department,

have you ever seen negligence like this,

in terms of a company's compliance to the fire code?

Sure, lots of times.

That's when we get called in to drag out dead bodies.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Brett.

Sylvie.

Listen, I'm sorry I jumped you on that call, I just had a...

I have never been spoken to like that before in my life,

not on the sidewalk, not at work,

certainly not by someone who's supposed to be my partner.

That was in front of a victim. No, I know, I'm sorry.

I had... I had this... Gabby,

I don't care what you had going on in your life.

I have things going on too.

I treat you with respect every time the bells go off.

If you can't do the same for me,

don't ride with me on 61.

Brett.

Rough couple of days, huh?

Well...

I'm here, just so you know.

I do know that.

Your friendship means the world to me, Joe.

Thank you.

I feel the same way.

So, um, the defense team

just approached us with an offer to settle.

What does that mean?

That means they thought your testimony landed with the jury.

You did it, man. You did it for us.

Brought them to their knees. Congratulations, gentlemen.

This trial is over.

We gotta call the guys. Oh, yeah, they're gonna flip.

Thank you.

You need a ride? Oh. Uh, no,

Kelly was gonna swing by and pick me up.

Where are you?

Hey, this is Kelly. Leave a message.

Hey.

It's quitting time. What're you doing?

Hold on a second.

I wanna get to the Eggsperience

before the crowd gets there.

They have a special on scramblers that...

Just wait.

Okay.

What's going on, Otis?

When Jerebko said that Grissom had the best statistics

in the CFD, that rang an alarm bell for me.

One of the things I worked on while I was laid up

were the incident reports and being able to cross-reference

the numbers across every district citywide.

English, Otis. Please.

These are the statistics for Chief Grissom's district

from a report I pulled two months ago.

And this...

This is what he turned in to the mayor's office.

He cooked the books?

And he's done it on every single progress report

dating back a dozen years.

We have to tell the mayor's office.

Not before we tell Boden.

Chief.

Fellas.

We have something to show you.

What is this?

Chief Grissom's progress reports.

He's been tampering with the numbers since 2006

to make himself look more effective to the mayor.

Are you sure? He changed the numbers.

I've seen the source code,

and the amendments came straight from his office.

If there's a better explanation,

I'd love to hear it.

Hey.

You left work without me.

Yeah, I just needed to clear my head.

What I said before,

about having a baby...

It came out wrong.

I just meant that I can't risk losing you,

no matter how low the odds.

It's my risk, not yours.

And I'm willing to take it.

I guess that's the crux of it,

the thing I've never really understood.

What?

When you adopted Louie without me,

when you hid the fact that you were helping Bria.

You make these big, emotional decisions

as if my input doesn't matter.

Baby, of course it matters.

I care deeply how you feel,

but I can't be dependent on it or on you.

Why not, Gabby?

What's wrong with being dependent on someone

who loves you with everything he has?

This is one decision you can't leave me out of.

Either we're in it together,

or we're not in it at all.

You know who I am.

You knew it when you married me.

I haven't changed.

It used to be the thing you loved about me.

I'll, um...

I'll come back in a little while.

Kelly?

I thought you were gonna pick me up.

You did? No, I was waiting for you.

I stayed here.

Uh, did you win?

Yeah, case is over.

And, um,

what about Renee?

I told her congratulations,

and there's no reason

to see each other again.

Then I came here.

Grand gesture.

I just missed you.

All I think about is you.

Chief Huffhines.

What's going on? You didn't hear?

Mayor just appointed the CFD's next commissioner...

Carl Grissom.

Well, this is a proud day for me.

This is something I have worked hard toward for the last 40 plus years.

I look forward to scrutinizing every aspect of the CFD

and bringing it in line with what a city as great

as Chicago can expect from its first responders.

And, uh, with that, I'll take some questions.

Excuse me, can you point me to Chief Hatcher's office?

He's right there.

Are you looking for me?

Tell me more about Puerto Rico.
