I am not adopting, Matt.
I want to have my own baby.

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

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

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.

All I think about is you.

Brett. Sylvie.

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

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

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.

Chief Grissom's
progress reports.

He's been tampering
with the numbers since 2006

to make himself look
more effective to the Mayor.

The Mayor just appointed
the CFD's next commissioner.

Carl Grissom.

I look forward to scrutinizing
every aspect of the CFD,

and bring it in line

with what a city as great as
Chicago can expect from
its first responders.

All I'm hearing at Molly's

is firefighters groveling
about reduced,
you know, furloughs

and pushing back
retirement dates and...

Two months into
the Commissioner Grissom era

and morale is rock bottom.

What's two years
gonna look like?

Hey, Otis, what happened
to taking that report

to the Mayor's office?
The Chief balked.

He wouldn't even
give me an answer as to why.

Hey, I know why.

He doesn't want to
embarrass the department,

the Mayor's office
in an election season.

It's political.

Yeah,
that's makes sense.

What are you doing?

Just trying to distract you
while I steal your coffee.

Fail.

How's he doing?

You want to
talk to me, Chief?

Uh-huh.

Over the last few months,
you have dinged

every new partner
you've had, Sylvie.

I... I don't know
about dinging.

I've politely suggested
that we find better fits.

The paramedic that
you are getting today,

Emily Foster,
she stays here, unless
or until Dawson returns.

Okay. I mean, it seems like
we should...

Give her a chance to succeed
here. Yes, I completely agree.

Chief, I'm not arguing
with your decision, but...

That's good. Then I'll see you
at the morning briefing.

Okay, everybody.
Settle.

So, first bit of news.

You may have noticed
that Connie's desk is empty.

Yeah, what's up, Chief?

I'm delighted to tell you
that over the past four years,

Connie has received her
master's degree in counseling.

No kidding.
Just got hired
at her dream job,

head of counseling at
Whitney Young Magnet School.

They asked her to start
immediately, and I couldn't
stand in her way.

Well, that's fantastic.
Yes, it is.

I didn't get a chance
to say goodbye.

None of us did.
I hear you. But it's okay,

'cause she knows how much
we love her here.

So, new business.

We have a new paramedic,
Emily Foster, starting today.

Is Emily here?

Did it start yet?

Oh.

Damn it.

I'm so sorry, Chief Bodie.
It's Boden.

Right, Boden. Sorry.

Hmm.

Truck 81, Squad 3,
Ambulance 61,

man trapped,
45 West Hubbard Street.

Manpower sent me
to Ambo 41,

so I was all the way
at Congress and Wells

when they called back
with the correction.

Uh, yeah, that happens.
Oh, it does? Thank God.

How long have you been
with the CFD, Emily?

It's my third month.
But I'm loving it so far.

What's the problem?

Uh, Coleman, our head
of maintenance.
Yeah?

Uh, he was working
on our freight elevator.

Kind of leaning out
into the shaft, you know,

when all of a sudden
the car drops, knocks him
clean on the head.

He falls, the car stops,
but then it starts again.

Show us.

- Back up, guys.
- Now, guys.

All right, guys,
first thing we got to do

is gain control of this cart
before it crushes him
down there.

Cruz, Capp, grab some...
Casey!

Damn it! Cruz, Capp, grab
the Hurst tool and as much
cribbing as you can carry.

Copy.
Hurry!

Otis, override the controls
and shut it off!

I can't see.

You got hit in the head.
You have blood in your eyes.

Pike poles!
Let's go!

Power's cut
on the freight elevator.

It's not stopping, Otis.

Power's out.

Get down!

Tony!
Got it.

What's your name?
Coleman.

Let me see your head.
Hold this against it.

I can't see.

Out of my way!

I got the Hurst, Lieutenant!
Put it in the gap!

Open the jaws,
and catch it
when it comes down!

Done!

- Got it?
- Yeah.

Okay, now we can breathe.

Let's get the cribbing
in there to maintain the gap,

and we can unbolt the floor
latch and pull up Casey.

You okay down there, Casey?

Uh, a little cramped,
actually.

Damn.

Hey, man, I don't mean to
step on your captain-ness,

but how about not throwing
yourself into harm's way

before we get a clear-eyed
assessment of the call?

I just reacted.

Yeah, like you had
a death wish.

Ah.

Ramirez made his move.

What's this?

Got an ongoing game with Beto
Ramirez from first shift.

One match is
months in the making,
and I've never won.

It's super exciting.

I know.
And by the looks of it...

I'm about to
topple his king.

I mean, look,
he stretched his defense,
he's broken his line.

Left himself vulnerable.
Checkmate in eight.

Nope.

No? What do you mean, no?

I mean, if you start with
your rook, he's four away
from trapping your queen.

- Where are you going?
- To think.

What'd you see?

I don't really know
how to play chess.

I just like to mess with Otis.
Got it.

Who have you
ridden with so far?
Uh, I've had two partners.

A guy named MacAuley
and a guy named Ogle.
Oof.

Are they friends of yours?
Oh, Lord, no.

One of them's Mr. Doom
and Gloom, the other one's
just plain mean.

Thank God.
I thought it was just me.

That's all you've had so far?
So far.

Both said
it's better to float.

Don't get attached
to one house or one partner.

Just keep things moving.
By your face,
I see that's bad advice.

No, it...

Technically, not a bad idea
to find the right fit.

Anyway, I got to
get my paperwork filled out
and turned in

because obviously I didn't
get it sorted before
the bells went off.

I'm gonna try
and dig myself out of that
hole with Chief Brody.

Chief Broden? Chief Boden.

Boden.
Okay.

Give me that one.
Thank you.
Wallace.

Jerry, you got a promotion.

Assistant Deputy Commissioner.

I can see that.
Congratulations.

Well, it was a meteoric rise,
I guess you could say.

I'm just happy
Commissioner Grissom
recognized my potential.

The man has been making
lots of dynamic changes.

Streamlining overhead,
re-examining facilities,

reducing costs while
maximizing potential.

Updating resources
while replacing faulty,
out-of-date equipment.

Finally, we have
a Commissioner who understands
what it means to be a leader.

Hmm.

I'm proud to support him
any way I can.

He, uh, has asked me to
keep a closer eye on
some of our busier houses.

Mine, to be precise?

Hope this won't be
too awkward for you.

I mean, last time
we worked together,

I was a candidate,
you were, what, lieutenant?

Captain.
Right.

No, Jerry, this will not
be awkward for me.

Make yourself feel at home.
Let me know how I can help.

I'll be sure to do that.

Of all the people...

What's up?

I'm gonna ask you
the same thing.

I'm not sure
what you're getting at.

When's the last time
you talked to her?

Talked or texted?
Either.

A few days, a week.
I don't know.

When she told me
her two-week mission

was gonna extend a month,
I didn't protest.

But when that month
became two, I...
I blew up a little.

Maybe a lot.
Yeah?

We started out facetiming,
then phone calls.

Now it's pretty much
just two-word texts.

Think I'm more angry
than anything else.

Okay, well, in my opinion,
that's not just on Dawson.

If you want this
long-distance thing to work,

you might want to
step it up.

Says the guy who's so good
at sharing his feelings.

Well, this is one of those
"do as I say" type situations.

I'll keep that in mind.

Matt?
Hey, Gabby.

Hi. I'm sorry
I didn't call right back.

It's been a bear of a week,
but really good.

Yeah, I tried you
a couple times.

No, I know, I know.

I'm sorry, but when
I get a breath, it's,
you know, 2:00 in the morning,

and my phone is dead, and...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I...

Tell me what's happening.

Um, well,
we just got power back

to this part of the island,
and we had 40 volunteers

set up shelter stations
where families come in,

they get food and water,
they can get checked out

by a doctor or a medic.

I mean, some of
these kids have...

Sorry.
Um, they haven't really had medical care

in, like, over a year,
so they're tired and
confused and hungry,

but when they come in, Matt,
you should see their smiles.

They're just so grateful,
and I hug them,

and I tell them it's not
their fault, and it's just...

I swear I'm getting
more out of it than they are.

What?
It sounds great.

Oh, tomorrow, four of us
are going over to Mayagüez

to convince FEMA
we need more of everything.

Like, jump bags,
medicine... The basics,
gauze, scissors, aspirin...

Um,
I really want to talk to you,
but I got to get running.

Can I call you back later?

Yeah, of course.
Okay, thanks, Matt.

Love you. Talk soon.
Muah.

You too.

So, something I want
to make you both
very aware of.

I saw.

Assistant Deputy
Fire Commissioner Gorsch
has let me know, pointedly,

that he's gonna be
keeping a very close eye
on Firehouse 51.

I'm surprised it took Grissom
this long to sic
the dogs on us.

Well, this particular dog
I have history with.

Oh, yeah?

Story for another day.

Anyway, here's how
we're gonna handle it.

For the rest of the shift,
we are gonna
batten down the hatches.

I mean, I do not want
anybody standing around.

Truck, Squad, I want
combination drills. I...

Sorry to interrupt,
gentlemen, but, uh...

I come from
a school of leadership
that prefers open doors,

so if we could just
leave this open from now on,

that'd be great.

Casey.
Brett.

I was just wondering if you've
heard from Gabby recently.

Yeah, I just talked to her.
She was doing really well,
actually.

That's great.
Yeah.

Any word on
when she's coming back?

I... I think it's still fluid
at this point.

I just, um...

I texted her a few times
before she left,

but I just want to
talk to her face-to-face.

I know what you mean.

Well, it's good
to hear she's doing well.
Yeah.

I'm sure she's taken over
the entire relief effort
at this point.

Probably.

I've studied
Glucksberg vs. Najdorf
and Byrne vs. Fischer,

and I'm confident that
I'll have checkmate in

seven moves.

Mmm-mmm.
Whoa, whoa.

What? What?
Tell him, Mouch.

Well, I can see
one, two, three flaws
with your theory.

That's what I had.

Especially if
Ramirez sacrifices
his whatchamathingy.

His rook.

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.

Hey, Squad 3,
let's go fill up the rig.

Severide.
What's up, Danvers?

You hear the new one
from headquarters?
Uh-uh.

Looks like Commissioner
Grissom is now picking
a fight with the union.

Over what?
Health care.

Says there's gonna be another
increase to our premiums,
which is the total opposite

of what he told our firehouse
before he got the job.

What do you know about
Assistant Deputy Commissioner
Jerry Gorsch?

Why?
He's posted up
at 51 this shift.

He's looking for
dust on the shelf tops
and crumbs on the floor.

Boden says
they have a history.

Never heard of him,
but that doesn't
mean anything.

I've spent my entire career
avoiding headquarters.

Hey, I hear that.

Topped off, Lieutenant.
A'ight.

- Hey, thanks for the heads-up.
- Help!

Help! It's Morgan!
He hit a power line!

Hey, Danvers,
grab the ropes. Hurry!
Got you.

Main, this is Engine 77.

I'm at the Fulton Depot,
and I need an ambulance
right away.

We have a burn victim.

He's breathing.

He's got a pulse.

That is my favorite part
of riding Squad.

You never know what
Severide's liable to try.

That's true.
What's that, now?

Oh.

You should have
seen it, Chief.

We're at the, uh,
Fulton Depot refueling,

and these construction workers
just start shouting.

Turns out the guy that was
running the jackhammer

struck a power line.

He should have called
before he dug.

Yeah, anyway, we're getting
set up for a rope rescue,

and the guy
just bursts into flames.

But out of nowhere,
Severide just launches
and knocks the guy free.

Is that right?
Yeah.

And we were able to smother
the worker and get a pulse.
It was a great save.

So you just
ignored your training?

I wouldn't say that.

When dealing
with a power line,

at what point were you
taught to make contact

with a victim attached
to an active current?

I do whatever I have to do
to save a human life.

And what happens when
good firefighters risk
their lives to save yours?

You don't like my methods,
report me to your boss.

He's the one who trained me.

Commissioner Grissom's already
had a lot to say about you.

Anything else?

Otis.
Yes, Chief?

You still have
that report on Grissom?
Yeah. I mean, yes.

I want you to go over it
with a fine-tooth comb,

make sure every figure
is triple-checked.

Are you gonna take it
to the Mayor's office?

You just bring it to me
when you're done.

Yes, Chief.

Hey, Brett,
this guy I'm seeing, Declan,
he owns this speakeasy

under the old Wesley Memorial
Bank building downtown.

You been there?
Mmm-mmm.

Well, it rocks,
and I got the hookup.

So, if you want to come
with me tonight, there will be
no standing in line.

Oh.

Thank you.
Maybe another time.

- You got a hot date?
- Uh... No.

I'm... I'm single.

Just so you know,
this place is like
a feeding frenzy, girl.

Like, you will
get eaten alive.

Whenever you want to go,
just let me know.

Okay.

Don't let it drag
on the bottom, now, Kelly.

You can be the chief
of the firehouse,

captain of this boat,
but don't tell me how to fish,
old man.

Oh, is that right?

That's right.

Hey, Chief, what's the story
with you and Jerry Gorsch?

That one.

Back when I first made captain
of Firehouse 22,

we had a young candidate
named Jerry Gorsch,

who might have been good
at a lot of things.

All I know is firefighting
was not one of them.

Sounds like a problem.
It was.

When it came time to
write up my year-end report,

I let our battalion chief know
my feelings on the subject.

And Gorsch found out?

They sent him to headquarters
where his talents were better
suited.

What talents?
Political ones.

Does he know
you were responsible?

I was open about it.
Hell, he should be
thanking me.

He has done quite well,
rising up through the ranks,
his way.

It's just like Grissom to
find your Achilles' heel
and use it against you.

Chief, cool if I take
a furlough week?

You going somewhere?

I'm thinking about
stepping it up, as someone
recently advised me.

Maybe heading to San Juan.
Really?

- Oh, let him take it.
- Set the hook.

Oh, come on. Easy now.

That means he's fighting you.
Come on, fight him back.

Fight him back.
Get him up here.

Yeah!
Yeah!

Oh, come on, get it! Get it!

Hey, Mr. Fish.

Hey, Chief. Hi.

Ramirez!
Zvonecek!

I got you, man.
I finally got you.

What?
Checkmate in eight, brother.

I've studied
every permutation,

and black is vulnerable
no matter what you do.

Brian, I haven't been
to Firehouse 51
in seven months.

I transferred over to 84.
You did what?

I'm humping hoses
on Engine 84.
I thought you knew.

Who have I been beating?
I don't know.

Who have...
Who have I been beating?

That's disgusting.

Uh-oh.

Hey, it's the jolly fishermen.
How have the bass been biting?

Well, you and Mouch
should have come and
found out for yourselves.

Yeah, I had to work.
I had to drink.

How come
I didn't get an invite?

Because I'm waiting
for those reports.

Actually...

Hey, Chief.

Thank you.
Yeah.

I got them for you.

It's not a case
of sour grapes, Dale.

I want you to know that.
I'm not angling for the job.

What am I looking at?
Manipulated statistics.

Grissom deliberately falsified
the numbers in his district

to make it seem busier,
more efficient,
more productive,

and the Mayor's office
bought right into it.

You sure?

Hmm.

This is a serious allegation.

It would have been better
to have it before
his appointment.

I understand.

To be honest,
misinterpretation of my motives

is why I haven't
come forward until now,
but it's not about me.

It's about the Chicago
Fire Department.

I will take it
to the Mayor immediately.

This is Jerry Gorsch.

Yes, sir.

About 20 minutes.

I'll head there
right away, sir.

Did you think that up yourself,
just like all whippity-whop?

No, it's an old saying.

Uh...

What... What is this?

Oh.

Looks like there's a note.

"Didn't see my knight.
Checkmate in two."

Winky face.

Who am I even playing?

Let the record show
I am on time for my second
shift at Firehouse 51.

- Oh.
- Whoo!

Thank you.

Ambulance 61, man down
from unknown causes,

435 South Ashland Avenue.

What's up?

Some joker in there got hit
in the head with a brick.

Some kind of domestic.
Sister's boyfriend maybe.

You arrest the guy?
Was gone before we got here.

Is the victim conscious?

Yeah, but it doesn't
look too good.
Show us.

I told Little B
not to come here
whenever Jamiel was home.

He ain't supposed
to be here never.

We wasn't doing nothing!

All right, let me see.

Come on.

God.

He's got orbital pressure
buildup. We got to get him
to Med right away.

He doesn't want us
to move him.
What? He could lose his eye.

He's got an ankle monitor.

I'm calling Corrections
to get them to shut it off,

but if you remove him
before it disconnects,

he's gonna go back to jail
for violating parole.

We can't wait.
We have to transport you.

I can explain
your circumstances.

Yeah, and how long
I'm gonna be sitting in a cell

while some judge
sorts that out?

Please don't move me
until this thing gets
shut off, all right?

I can't pay no attorney.

Hand me the scalpel
from the jump bag.
For what?

I'm gonna perform
a lateral canthotomy.

You're three months
on the job.

We're not trained for that.
I am.

- No, absolutely not.
- Ten minutes.

If we tried to move him now,
he'd lose the eye anyway.

Hold still.

Ready?
Keep breathing.

Just keep breathing
for me, okay?
Slow and steady.

You're okay. Just breathe.
Breathe.

What you doing, lady?
Trust me.

I have to
release the pressure,
or we're gonna be picking up

your eyeball off the floor.

Deep breath.

Easy.

You okay?

Can I have
some gauze, please?

Tape. Thank you.

Okay, DSC is shutting off
the monitor now.

You're good to go.
You okay, Jamiel?
You still here?

All right.

Okay, we're gonna
lift you up on three.

One, two, three.

How do you know
how to perform surgery?

Different lifetime ago.

I heard the surgeons talking.

Looks like the guy
we brought in, Jamiel,
he's gonna be fine.

Might have some blurry vision
for a while, but they think
he'll make a full recovery.

That's great.

I'm sorry
for taking over that call.

You're the PIC,

and I know I should wait
for you to give orders.

It was just time-sensitive,
so I jumped on it.

No, it's... It's cool.

That's what a good partner
should do.

Was that Emily Foster?

Uh-huh.
She's a paramedic now?

Oh, how the mighty
have fallen.

Otis, what are you doing?
It's end of shift.

Exactly.
I reset the chess board,

and now I have to see
who from third shift

comes in and moves a piece.

Okay, well, look,
unless you want to
find another ride home,

the train is leaving
the station in five minutes.

I'm gonna be here all day
if I have to.
I have to know.

Okay.

Oh, you can't be serious.

Ha-ha! Ha-ha!

Explain yourself.

What do you
want from me, Otis?
Ramirez transferred out.

I saw the chess board just
sitting here, begging me
to make a move. I...

Why didn't you tell me?
What? I don't know.

We're competing against
each other all the time,

which brings a fair share
of trash talking,
jawing and guff.

And, um, I think...

I think it was nice
to just play a game
against you

without all
the extra shenanigans.

That's sweet, actually.
Yeah, it was.

I mean, it was sweet
when I didn't know
who was gonna win,

but now that I have proven
once again that I am the queen

of all I survey,
I see nothing wrong
with a little verbal sparring.

Oh, here we go.

Do they make trophies
for chess champions?

I mean, they do, right?

Which you should look into
because my birthday
is coming up,

and I need a little decoration
for the mantel.

Okay, well, we'll see
about that, because tonight
I want a rematch,

at Molly's,
with time limits.

Oh, you're on, son,
but you better
bring a defense this time.

Yeah.

She said she would have caught
twice as many fish as me

if we'd only
invited her along.

That sounds like Kidd.

Anyway, uh, Boden's boat
kind of gave me the bug.

I think I might
head up to Wisconsin,
try and catch some walleye.

You want in on that?
Maybe.

Or maybe I'll need
a lift to the airport.

All right, well, let me know.
I'm happy either way.

Yeah.

Wallace.

Jerry.

Looks like you've been
pretty busy, Chief.

Lot of free time
on your hands?

I thought it would
ease your mind

to know that
the Mayor's office
received your report,

and while they
appreciate your concern,

they're already well aware
of the clerical error

in regards to
District 5's call log.

"Clerical error"?
That's right.

I'm sure you understand
how these things happen.

You use a temp agency,
you expect them to know

the inner workings of
the Chicago Fire Department,

all of its tics,
and, well, it's harder
than it looks.

The Mayor let
Commissioner Grissom know

that he has
his full confidence.

They've grown really close,
the Mayor and Grissom.

They share the same outlook,
you might say.

Anyway,
that office back there,
noticed it's empty.

I'd appreciate you
keeping it clear for me

so I can work out of here
on a more permanent basis.

"Permanent"?

Yeah, is that a problem?

No, Jerry. Not a problem.

Good.

Gabby.

Hey, Matt.

You're back.
Yeah, I am.

Those look
more like leaving bags
than staying bags.

Um...

Yeah, they asked me
to extend again.

How long?

Um...

Uh, it's a permanent position.

I can't describe to you
the amount of aid
they need down there.

I mean, it's like
the bell's going off
every single minute.

They asked me to lead a unit,
directing two dozen
men and women,

doctors, nurses, lawyers,
engineers. People who are
giving up

everything just to help.

You could come with me.

We could go together.

I'm a Chicago guy.

You know that.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry, Matt.

I didn't know it was gonna
turn into this when I left.

I just thought...
You're meant to do this.

All your training,
your years as a paramedic,

your time as a firefighter,
it led you to this.

I'm just lucky
I got to walk alongside you
as long as I did.

Thank you.

I'm proud of you.

I've never known anyone
as good as you, Matt Casey.

I never will.
