All language subtitles for Chicago.Fire.S14E08

Your mom wasn't getting
the best care possible.

Stella found a better place.

It is in Cleveland.

You mean
drop everything here?

You're family now.

I don't want it
to ruin the night.

We ask the CFD
for a list of rigs

that could be permanently
decommissioned.

Which one?

Engine 51.

There was a fire
at Patterson High School.

I mean, I can't give you
any names,

but I have been getting
these threats.

Wyatt was outside the school
at the time of the fire.

He knows something.

I ran into Wyatt last night
at the boys basketball game.

Based on the tip-off time,
there's no way that Wyatt

could have been at the school.

Your son didn't
start the fire.

Then what are you doing here,
Lieutenant?

Whoever did it,
I bet you'll find them there.

We believe the attack
was deliberately timed

for when you'd normally be
arriving at the school

and you'd be alone.

My--my students made this?

They did.

And how many are
in the group?

83 members.

Of course, I knew
of my reputation,

but this level of hostility...

We're hoping you can take
a look through the posts

and see if there's
any that sound like

the threatening texts
that you've gotten.

There are hundreds
of comments here.

Take as much time
as you need.

This is unacceptable.

I'm sorry to drop the news
on you like this,

but I didn't want to hide it.

This just isn't how
you treat a firefighter

who's been loyal
to the department

for more than 30 years.

The city didn't make
that call.

The CFD did.

They're the ones who chose
McHolland and his rig.

I gotta make some calls.

Wait, Dom, I told you this

because I didn't want you
to be blindsided.

It's already in motion.

If I thought a phone call
would have stopped it,

I would have already made it.

I worshipped my dad
growing up.

Yeah, had a--

I brought his badge
for show and tell.

Aw.

I had a cop radio in my room.

Yeah, from the jump,
I always wanted to be a cop.

How long were you
at the academy for?

It was a month
before I graduated

that he got arrested.

There was no
keeping that a secret.

Yeah.

I mean, the media
loved that case.

Mm-hmm.

Suddenly, just overnight,

I'm the--I'm the son
of a dirty cop,

one who gave the whole
department a bad name.

Damn.

I'm sorry, Vasquez.

Got me to the CFD, right?

Hmm.

The right place to be.

Oh, heck.

It does not look as gross
as I thought it would.

You're gonna love it,
I'm telling you.

Mm.

So are you ready

for your meeting
with Dr. Shreves tomorrow?

Mm-hmm.

I've been researching
everything.

Wrote a bunch of questions down
in my notebook.

You're gonna be an MD

by the time your mom
leaves the clinic.

You know that, right?

Oh, Kelly said that
he wanted an update.

Let me give him a call.

I don't think
this is going to help.

There's nothing in there
that stands out to you?

Some of it's
pretty disturbing.

It's very difficult
to tell what's noise

and what's a--a real threat.

Smoke alarm.

Think it's coming
from the stairs.

It's moving!

The back stairs are this way.

Oh!

Oh, my God.

It's no good.

We're trapped!

This way.

What do we do?

How--how are we
going to get out?

We rappel down.

Grab a towel, soak it in water,
cover your face.

Go.

Use the bedsheets.

You make the harness.

I'll make the rope.

This is gonna be the harness.

Put this around you. Here.

We're gonna lower you down.

We go one at a time.

Throw your legs over
the sill, face us.

We're not gonna let you fall.

Let's go.

Don't think. Just go.

We got you. Let go of the sill.

We got you. Go!

Van Meter!

Get to the window.

I got you.

Grab the sheet!

Sir, do you have a car?

Yeah.

Could you get him
to the hospital?

Sure.

- Thank you.
- Come on.

I had the neighbor take
Cole to the hospital.

Van Meter, you're burned.

It's not bad.

Yeah, it is.

I just need to catch--

Tom!

Hey.

Medic! Medics!

Tom? Tom!

Tom.

Medic, over here!

- Copy.
- Hey!

Backboard.

Here, get him on. Get him on.

You got him?
- Yeah.

On three. One, two, three.

He's gonna need to be treated
for smoke inhalation,

third degree burns.
- You need treatment too.

I'm fine. Just focus on him.

Okay.

Hey, it's me.

Listen, there's been
an incident.

Yeah.

Hey.

Uh, Kelly was in a fire.

He is okay.

He's at the hospital.

What happened?

I'm not sure yet,

but Captain Van Meter
was hurt too.

They're both at Med.

Um...

Okay, I'll--I'll pack
my bags.

Okay.

Lungs sound tight to me.

Taken in more smoke
than this before.

Maybe, but that doesn't mean
this isn't serious.

I want to get a chest X-ray.

If you've got signs
of pulmonary edema

or airway burns,
we need to catch it now.

That kind of damage doesn't
always show up right away.

It's gonna have to wait.

Lieutenant, I've seen guys
walk out of this room

and come back coding
an hour later.

I'll be right down the hall.

Lieutenant Severide.

Dr. Archer.

Glad you're the one
looking after Van Meter.

What do we know?

Well, he's suffering from
acute respiratory distress.

The smoke and the heat have
caused significant lung damage.

He's been sedated.

He's on a ventilator
to try to improve

his oxygen saturation.

The next few hours
are gonna be critical.

If his oxygen levels
don't stabilize soon, he--

he may not make it
through the night.

What's the update?

Severide's okay.

He suffered second degree
burns to his arm

and minor smoke inhalation.

And Van Meter?

He took the brunt of it.

Hey.

Thanks for calling.

Have the doctors come out
with an update yet?

No. Any minute.

Hey, captain's
gonna pull through.

That guy's tough as old boots.

Kelly.

Oh, my God.

Does it hurt?

Nah, it's fine.

How's Van Meter?

He made it through the first
few hours, so that's something.

But he's touch and go.

His daughter is driving up
from St. Louis now.

PD already sent someone?

All right, we'll give you
a second to talk to him.

All right, let's go find
a vending machine.

Yeah?

Lieutenant.

Detective Gerard.

It's been a minute.

Don't worry.

PD's not here to take over.

We're just here to help.

I know how personal
this just got for you.

How much have you
read in on this?

Well, I know the fire
at the school was premeditated

and that there was
some kind of sophisticated

timing device involved.

Sounds like tonight's
fire is different.

Same target though.

Principal Cole?

My guess is whoever set
the fire at the school

wanted to finish
what they started.

I was told there was
some kind of online

hate group about him?

Yeah, it's a--

it's a private Facebook group,

about 80 members,
current, former students.

Van Meter thinks we'll find
our suspect there.

Any way to narrow down
that list?

That's what I was hoping
to talk to Cole about.

He's still with the doctors.

Got a couple more hours.

All right.

Well, I'll see what I can do
to dig into that Facebook group

in the meantime.

Do you know who created it?

No, that information
isn't visible on the page.

That's what I wanted
to ask Cole about first.

All right, I'm on it.

Let me know when he's up.

If Vasquez hadn't been
with you at Molly's,

I doubt he would have heard
about Severide.

I'm glad he was there.
- Yeah.

We showed up
right after you left.

I think his father coming to 51
really messed with his head.

Hey, what is
Ray Vasquez like?

I heard his name so many times
back in the day.

Yeah.

The man is intimidating.

That's for sure.

Yeah, the whole scene
was very tense.

I mean, Vasquez has no idea
how he got paroled.

It's all kind of mysterious.

Wow.

But the actual joint duty shift
went well though,

right?
- Mm-hmm.

These are all applications
from firefighters

at other houses
who want to sign up.

- Seriously?
- Mm-hmm.

That's awesome.

It's a lot
to narrow down, though.

Did they attach
personnel photos?

Because cuties at the top, obviously.

Obviously.

Morning, Chief.

Come on in, Mouch.

Take a seat.

Everything okay?

Unfortunately, no.

We need to keep this
between us for now,

but I've learned that
as part of its ongoing cuts,

CFD wants to decommission
Engine 51.

Is this--are you--
are you kidding me?

Leave the firehouse
without an engine?

It's an incredibly
irresponsible decision.

I'm gonna do everything
I can to fight it.

I'll do the same, of course.

I'll go right to the union,
use that angle.

I mean, I gotta assume
if Engine goes...

So do you.

With all these staff cuts
and calls for early retirement,

Mouch, I wish I could
say it different,

but I don't think
they're gonna find

a place for you
at another house.

Now, I have a contact at CFD.

He owes me a favor.

I'm gonna go there today,
but...

we're not gonna throw in
that towel yet.

Not a chance.

Thank you, Chief.

Hey, I brought you a coffee.

Figured you could use it.

Thanks.

Also got a name,

the creator
of that Facebook group.

Those Cole's students?

Yeah.

Wyatt.

What's going on?

Uh, the assistant principal

put together a group
for Mr. Cole

to show support, and...

And I wanted
to be a part of it.

I'm sure
he'd appreciate that.

Do you guys know
who did this yet?

We can't comment
on that right now.

Lily Metzger?

Are you sure?

She was the first user
assigned administrative rights

to the "I Hate Mr. Cole" group.

Which means she created it.

Oh.

You seem surprised by that.

I'd like to think that
I know my students well,

and Lily's had some--
some disciplinary issues,

but nothing that would
lead me to believe

that she could do this.

She ever have
any run-ins with you?

No, not directly.

Some of her teachers said
that she could be difficult,

but it was talking back
or--or tardiness,

you know, things like that.

A disrespect for authority.

The parents give a lot
of money to the school,

so they've cleaned up
a few of her messes.

We stopped by Wyatt's house
after the school fire.

Lily was there.

I wasn't aware
they were friends.

Maybe you don't know your
students as well as you think.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you, sir.

Help me understand something.

What's the MO here?

Van Meter believes
this arson is personal.

It's about revenge.

Well, if that's true,

then how does this girl
make any sense?

I mean, you heard Cole.

They've never had any run-ins.

We know she created
the group.

Maybe she's got
some sort of axe to grind.

Lieutenant,
can I speak to you?

We had to place
Captain Van Meter

in a medically induced coma.

I don't understand.

I thought his oxygen levels
had stabilized.

No.

The inflammation in his lungs
wasn't improving,

and he went into
hypoxic respiratory failure.

This can happen in severe cases
of smoke inhalation like his.

I've seen this before.

You put them in a coma,
and they don't come out.

It's the best option we have

of giving his body
any chance to recover.

I'll give you a minute.

I'm gonna find who did this,

and I'm gonna make them pay.

No firefighter employed under
the jurisdiction of this union

shall be terminated,
suspended, or demoted

except for just cause.

Mm-hmm.

There is nothing
you can point to in my file

that even comes close
to just cause.

How is this not
a slam dunk for me?

Mouch, the city is now
counting budget cuts

as just cause.

Well, it doesn't
say that in here.

Our legal team is
fighting it,

but the city's found a way
to reinterpret the language

to make this legal.

I know.

It's a loophole you could drive
a damn Mack truck through.

Well, I'm not just gonna
take my ball and go home.

I hear you. I do.

But right now,
the union's hands are tied.

There's gotta be
another way here.

There is something,
but it's not through the union.

What do you know about
the Civil Service Commission?

Why did you create
the Facebook page?

Facebook is so retro.

I mean, I thought
it would be fun.

Also, Mr. Cole is hated
by pretty much everyone, so...

Hmm. Including you?

Honestly,
I barely knew the guy.

But it was so entertaining
to see everyone

get so worked up about him.

Lily.

I'm sorry.

And I am sorry
that Mr. Cole's house

got set on fire by some psycho.

That's crazy.

All the threats of violence,

you didn't think to tell
an adult about those?

People need to vent.

I'm not gonna stop them.

It's the First Amendment, right?

Some of the threats
on this site,

they were by anonymous posters.

Yeah.

One or two of the kids
went incognito.

I don't know why.

Where were you at 7:36 p.m.
on Friday night, Lily?

Lily, don't answer
any more questions.

I don't want to be rude,
but I need to get a lawyer.

No, I was at home.

I was in my room reading,
watching videos.

Mom was there.
She can tell you.

Yes, Lily was home Friday.

I do remember that.

You sure, Mrs. Metzger?

Of course.

Look, if you guys
want to take my computer

and search for these
anonymous posters, here.

Lily, can we at least talk
to your father first?

Just trying to help.

If she shuts down
that Facebook page right now,

can we just put
all of this behind us?

No.

The last thing we want.

Just keep it active.

Thanks for your help, Lily.

No problem.

Mama's got her hands full
with that one.

You're gonna keep monitoring
that Facebook post?

Yeah, students keep posting
about it, so who knows.

The things those kids
write on those pages,

that level of ugly
makes you wonder

if you ever think they would
actually say it in person.

I doubt it.

Face to face, you see
the hurt you're causing,

not online.

Got a couple
of high schoolers at home.

Can't stay away from
that social media, man.

It scares the heck out of me.

I don't blame you.

Let's keep an eye on Lily.

Mm. I'll keep you posted.

You do the same.

I'll remind you.

I did what you said.

Took in Vasquez,
no questions asked.

Yeah, well,
that was the deal.

His lieutenant wanted
to cut him loose,

and she had every right.

But I protected Vasquez
as a favor to you.

Now I'm asking
for a favor in return.

Well, it wasn't
a favor for me.

That order came from
way above our pay grade.

And as I understand it,

Vasquez has become
a real asset to 51.

Whatever's happening
between Vasquez

and the CFD brass
is not my business.

But I can make it my business

if they don't reconsider
the decision to cut Engine 51.

Well, you've got a pair.
I'll give you that.

But you got your facts wrong.

The CFD didn't pick the rigs
to be decommissioned.

That was a request
from the mayor's office.

What about this guy?

Uh, big no.

That's Muncell.

And he's a lantern.

A lantern?

Uh, yeah.

Not too bright,
needs to be carried.

You know this guy, LaRosa?

Yeah, he's over at 40.

They call him Blister.

Only shows up after
all the hard work is done.

Hand to God,
I've learned more at this table

than my entire time
at the academy.

Stick around.

You've been at that
for a while now.

Any luck narrowing down
the list?

Not as much as I'd like.

Keep hoping whoever did it
might post it.

But I don't know.

Well, Cruz just called,
checking on you.

He said he wanted to leave
his anniversary weekend

to come back.

Ah, tell him not to.

I did.

So when's the last time
you slept?

I'm fine.

Well, listen, uh,

I didn't get a chance
to tell you earlier,

but Isaiah has a Zoom
with the doctor

who's in charge
of Shauna's care,

and it sounds like good news.

What?

I got it handled.

I know you're buried
in all this.

I want to be there.

Kelly.

That a video just posted?

That's Cole's place.

Whoa.

You knew.

You knew they were
gonna want to post it.

They were right there.

So let me know if there's
anything I can do to help,

and if you gotta skip the Zoom,

I can fill you in
on the details after.

I--I still want to be there.

Just send me the info.

- Okay.
- I gotta run.

I gotta call Gerard,

let him know I got a bead
on this kid who shot the video.

Yeah, of course. Go.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Novak, how are those
firefighter interviews going?

Oh, Violet is being so picky,

we haven't even started
interviews yet.

Well, I'm glad I skipped
to the front of the line.

Heard you did good.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

But just so you know,

if you ever get a shot
to ride with me,

I'm not gonna go as easy on you
as Violet did.

Can't wait.

Hey. Sorry.

I know I'm in here
during Herrmann time.

Nah, I was just gonna nap.

Don't mind me.

Hey, why are you going over
old performance reviews?

I'm on the ropes.

The CFD wants to decommission
Engine 51 and let me go.

No. No.

No way.

Pascal will not
let that happen.

He's trying some
new angle to stop it,

but with the city in crisis,
all bets are off,

which is why I'm reading
these old performance reviews

going back 30-plus years
and trying to prepare

an appeal to the Civil
Service Commission next week.

I will not go quiet,
that's for sure.

No, sir, you will not,
and neither will I, all right?

This appeal is gonna sing
like Pavarotti

by the time we're done with it.

All right.

Fire department! Open up.

Now!

Coming.

Easy, Severide.

What's going on?

We're looking
for Malcolm Taylor.

Is he your son?
- What's this about?

Are you aware what happened
to his principal?

What does that have
to do with Malcolm?

He posted a video online
that puts him

at the scene
at the time of the fire.

Ma'am, we have a warrant
to search and seize

any electronic devices
belonging to your son.

I heard a noise.

Is he in there?
- I'm not sure.

Malcolm.

Malcolm!

Fire escape.

I'll get him
from the outside.

Hey!

Malcolm!

Malcolm!

Malcolm, stop.

You got nowhere to go. Stop!

- I didn't do it.
- Hey, Malcolm!

I didn't start that fire.

We know!

But you saw who did.

Leave a message.
I'll get back to you.

Kelly gonna make it?

He didn't answer,
so I don't think so.

But maybe he'll join late.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

He's gonna get the guy
who hurt Captain Van Meter.

He can't take breaks.

Yeah.

That's right.

All right, let's do this.

- Hello.
- Hi, Isaiah.

I'm Dr. Shreves,
the lead neurologist

at the Clements-Wagner Clinic.

So that's what interests you
about the program,

the extra money?

Well, my--my shifts
have been cut back,

and I figure this is a good way
to use the extra skills I have.

Is there anything that you
love about emergency medicine?

Sure.

Shocking someone out of v-tach,

stabilizing a trauma patient

and getting them
to the emergency room in time.

Mm-hmm--you do realize,
though,

that most of our calls
aren't that exciting, though?

But some of them are.

So good answer.

Mm-hmm.
Thanks for coming in.

We appreciate it.
We'll be in touch.

Thanks, Ryan.
- Okay.

Yeah, thanks.

We'll talk to you soon.

Sure.

Yeah.

Okay. He seemed good.

No, he did not.

All right.

What was wrong with him?

Well, he had zero passion
for the work.

That much was obvious.

Really?

I didn't get that.

And no sense of humor.

Is that because you didn't
laugh at your firefighter joke?

Yes, it was funny.

Okay, next up is Jones Hammond.

Jones as a first name?

I don't know about that.

Okay, can I just say you're
being a little overly picky?

We have seen a bunch

of perfectly acceptable
candidates,

and you haven't liked
any of them.

Well, perfectly acceptable
won't cut it.

I mean, we're gonna sit
inches away

from these firefighters
in our tiny box of a rig

for 24 hours straight.

Well, you did it
with Vasquez, no problem.

Well, Vasquez is unique.

Oh, here comes our guy
with two last names.

Okay, maybe don't tell
the joke this time.

It's a little dense.

I'm telling the joke.

Jones, come on in.

The arsonist is right there.

See what happens when
you bring the phone down?

Right there. See that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I see him.

All right, so show us
where you took the video.

I was coming home
from a pickup game

at Ogden Park
when I saw the smoke.

So I pulled out my phone
and posted up right here.

Look, I didn't even know
it was Principal Cole's place

till the next day.

I don't hate the guy
or anything, I just--

I posted it for clout.

All right, so if you took
the video from right here,

that means the arsonist would
be heading east down Hubbard

towards Aberdeen.

Yeah, I guess.

Damn.

What?
What's that mean to you?

You know the kid we saw
at the hospital, Wyatt?

Yeah. Your first suspect.

He lives on Aberdeen.

Here it is.

The Helix Home Smart Plug
used to start the fire

at the school was connected
to the Wi-Fi at 7:36 p.m.

You can look at
the client log yourself.

The kid who we think did this

couldn't have been
at the school then.

This client log's
gotta be wrong.

I called the school's IT
administrator and confirmed.

He looked at packet captures

along with the router syslog
from that night.

They all corroborate
the same time, 7:36.

I'm sorry,
but the data doesn't lie.

Thank you for your help.

Can't ignore the evidence
just because it's inconvenient.

What are the odds
of an arsonist running

right back towards Wyatt's?

How do you ignore that?

What is it?

Van Meter's notes.

He was building a profile.

Maybe we don't need
to ignore it.

Lily went to Wyatt's
after the school fire.

What if she went
right back there

after she set fire to Cole's?

So Wyatt's in on it with her?

Maybe, or he's just
keeping her secret.

You saw how he was
at the hospital.

Yeah, only problem is,

is that she has an alibi.

Yeah, her mother,
who looked like

she'd believe
anything Lily told her.

Can you check their alibis?
- Yeah.

I'll be in touch.

Dom.

I was just on my way
to another meeting,

but I've got a few minutes.

What's up?

You said CFD chose

which rigs to decommission,

but that's not true.

It was you.

Who told you that?

Someone who's got
no incentive to lie to me.

And you think I do?

I could see you picking 51,
thinking I wouldn't push back.

I'd just roll over, given
our personal relationship.

There are a number of rigs
on the chopping block.

Yeah, and if I let this go,

it'd be one less
headache for you.

You're a natural leader, Dom.

I see how hard
you fight for your team.

What if you could fight
for the whole CFD?

I like being on the ground.

I see a future for you
beyond battalion chief,

and I can help you get there.

Consider what we could do
for this city together.

I'm sure we could do a lot,

but not at the expense
of my people.

This isn't about winning
every battle.

This is about winning the war.

Think about what I said.

What are we looking at?

These were taken
from the North Bridge Mall.

That's Lily and a friend
at 7:36 p.m. on Friday.

So Lily lied
about being at home.

She likes
upsetting her mother,

but she's not the arsonist.

What the hell are we missing?

This is usually
when I ask him.

What's that?

This is a list
of usernames and IPs

taken from the Facebook group.

Scraped those off
of Lily's computer.

Figured we'd start crossing
suspects off one by one.

You got any info
on the anonymous posters?

So the first one
traces back to a kid.

He doesn't live
in Chicago anymore.

And the other one traces back
to the Wyatt Moore house.

He probably logged on
from another device.

No, he didn't.

Wait, where you going?

These arsons,
they're personal.

They're about revenge.

We know how hard
Cole went after Wyatt,

putting his college future
in jeopardy.

Yeah.

Wyatt has an airtight alibi.

Yeah, he does,

but his father doesn't.

So the outlook
on Isaiah's mom is good.

She actually started
responding to stimulus.

It's signs
she could be emerging.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Yeah, Isaiah,
he must be thrilled.

He--yeah, he is.

He wants to stick around
for Kelly a few days

because he's worried about him.

- Wow.
- You believe that?

- He's a good kid.
- He really is.

Yeah.

And Kelly, um,

he's just so consumed
with the case,

I am barely getting updates.

I--I've been
meaning to ask you.

I saw Ellis from the union
in your office the other day.

Are you running
for a spot again?

Nah.

Just--just catching up.

I do like her.

I think she fits our needs,
but it depends.

You know, you don't really know
until you're in the field.

Of course. Yeah.
It's a whole different story.

Yeah. We'll see. Hey.

What took you so long?

I was just telling Vasquez
about the--

the firefighters we picked
for the program.

Mm.

I don't know about
Lieutenant Tarin, though.

Something tells me she might
give you guys some attitude.

Well, even if she does,

Violet won't let that stand
for long.

True that.

Okay.

It'll be good.

I dropped Wyatt off
at the game,

and I went straight
to Sheila's house.

You can ask her.

Sheila.

Sheila Moore, the ex-wife?

Not yet.

We're still working
through the divorce.

It's not going well.

This isn't helping.

She your only alibi?

That's not enough?

Not for me.

I've been more
than cooperative,

first with my son and now this.

So what's his problem?

You put my partner
in the ICU.

That's my problem.

Mr. Moore, there was
a second IP address

that logged into
the "I Hate Mr. Cole"

Facebook group
coming from your house.

And you think that was me?

My son already admitted
to being in the group.

He was probably just
using our desktop.

We also caught you on camera
running back to your house

after setting fire
to Cole's place.

And why would I do that?

Because Cole went after your
kid, so you went after Cole.

And after you failed
at the school,

you tried again,
except that time,

you put my friend
in the hospital.

You know, maybe
if you'd spend less time

harassing my family,
more time doing your job,

your partner wouldn't be there.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Get this psycho off me.

Take a walk.

I know what you did!

So what did they say?

We got enough
to--to take Moore's phone?

The district commander,
he wants to shift the focus

back to the school fire.

Why?

Because everything we have
on Moore is circumstantial,

and they're not convinced
that he's our guy.

That's not their
decision to make.

It is now.

They want to bench me?

The captain has already
spoken to the fire

commissioner's office,
okay, and they both agreed

that it's best
for the investigation

that you take a step back.

I think you know why.
- No.

No, I'm not doing that,
not when we're so close.

This is not a request,
Severide.

Okay? You're off the case.
