1 This is a Randall McHolland original.

A memoir?

I send it out, see if any publishers are interested.

You put me under review?

You think this is about your dad suspending him?

You go digging for info now, you're interfering

with an active investigation.

This isn't just about me, Stella. It's about protecting 51.

Let's you and me do this together.

Lieutenant Kidd does not have access

to the files she requested.

Right.

When I see her next shift, I will let her know.

Hey, in here, come in.

So how much did Hargrave tell you?

She said she offered to hand you the reins at OFI.

Yeah, that was only to get me out of the Hopkins situation.

Hargrave thinks that it might help squash

the internal review he ordered.

Where's Stella?

Stella had to take off late last night to Cleveland,

go see Isaiah.

Everything all right there?

Yeah, his mother had a little setback in her recovery.

Sorry to hear that.

Doc thinks she's gonna be okay,

but Isaiah was a little freaked out.

Before Stella left, she showed me this.

That was dropped off here anonymously yesterday.

Turns out Hopkins and some other firefighter,

Williams, were accused of stealing

some high-end watch in a structure fire back in 1997.

IAD eventually cleared them of any wrongdoing,

but Benny still suspended them for conduct unbecoming

and had them transferred out of 66.

This explains why Hopkins is coming after you.

- It's retaliation. - More like revenge,

and he's willing to break up 51 to get it.

And there's no way in hell I'm gonna let that happen.

Take it to IAD.

I gotta comb through this file first.

I gotta make sure I understand everything

and everything that happened before I make

a retaliation case to IAD.

Whatever you do, you gotta do it fast.

You don't have much time before IAD issues their finding in your case.

How much time are we talking about?

A couple of days at most.

Chief.

Lieutenant.

My office.

What is going on, boss?

A lot's happened in the past week

that I haven't been able to read you in on,

but with Stella gone, I could really use your help.

Absolutely. Whatever you need.

Shut the door. Come on in.

- Hey, Lucy. - Hey.

I got a bone to pick with you.

What did I do?

You've been here a month,

and I have yet to see you over at Molly's.

Okay, well, I didn't know I was invited.

Oh, yeah, it's 51's bar.

That makes it your bar too.

Thanks, Herrmann. It means a lot.

Two drink minimum, 'cause I got three kids

I gotta put through college.

Okay, all right, all right.

Hey, Mouch, you getting a jump on a cab inspection?

No, I'm stashing my phone in there.

I have to get it off my person,

or I'm just gonna keep checking it.

You know, I gotta do the same thing with Annabelle's phone.

Oh, did she send a memoir out to publishers too?

Shall I take it that you haven't heard anything yet?

50 query letters and not one reply.

It's a book, Mouch.

You gotta give the publishers some time.

Not everybody reads as fast as I do.

Didn't it take you two years to read "The Da Vinci Code?"

- I was savoring it. - Huh.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love to see Molly's killing it,

especially since the Herrmann family is

starting their rebuild soon.

But last night was insane.

I know, right?

It was popping off, as the kids say.

And yet, no Vasquez again.

Yeah.

Speak of the devil.

Hey, Serpico.

We missed you at Molly's last night.

Where were you? Mike's cop bar?

Something like that.

Squad 3, Engine 51, Truck 81, Ambo 61.

Motor vehicle accident, 427 Racine Avenue.

Hey, hey, I saw the whole thing.

This truck, it swerved to avoid a pedestrian

- and then bounced off the curb. - Whoa, slow down.

- What truck? - It's down there.

Back up.

Hey, make some room!

Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.MY-SUBS.com

Hey, back up. Hey, everybody, back up.

- It's not safe. - Back up!

Hang on, bud, we'll get you out.

Hey, we got a fuel spread.

- It's coming from the truck. - Copy that.

Doherty, let's drop two lines.

Help, please.

Please, please, please, help me. Please get me out.

Hey, Herrmann, we got two victims, one in each vehicle.

Squad, struts and cribbing now.

Copy.

Guys, grab the cutters and jaws.

Copy.

Just hang on, all right?

We're gonna stabilize this truck, and then we'll get you out.

Okay.

Let's go, let's go! We gotta move!

- Hey, Herrmann. - Yeah.

You get the victim out of the sedan

- once I give you all set. - Copy that.

All right, 81's ready to go.

30 seconds, Herrmann.

All right, charge both lines and stand at the ready.

Cokie, stay on the fuel.

Copy!

Struts are set.

All right, Herrmann, you're good to go.

All right, guys, pry that door open.

Hey, bud, can you hear me?

Sit tight. We'll get you out.

Cruz, get me a C-collar and a half-Sked.

- Copy that. Capp! - I'm on it.

There we go. We got it.

- Ballard. - Got it.

How you doing, miss?

We're gonna get you out of here, okay?

- Please. - Just nice and easy.

Nice and easy.

Sked. Thank you.

Here you go, Lieutenant.

C-collar, please, thank you.

Novak. Need your help.

- You got it? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Hang on.

There you go.

- All right, Cruz. - Sked coming in.

I got it. There you go.

Got you.

- Watch your head. Grab her head. - Got it.

Ready? Three, two, one.

Good job.

All right, we're gonna pull you up and out of here.

It's gonna hurt a bit, okay? Ready?

Yeah, ready.

We got a battery arc. Wash it down.

Wait, no, Mouch!

Hold!

Hey, wait till everybody's clear.

The water's gonna spread all the gas vapors.

One, two, three, go.

- Got him, boys? - 10-4.

We got him, Joe.

All right, get him to the medics.

Got it?

Get way back.

Way back.

- Make some room. - Whoa! Hey.

Come on, come on.

- Clear! - Hit it!

All right, shut it down.

Let's grab some oil-dry, mop all this up.

Keep it out of the drains.

Hey, listen, Mouch.

Mouch.

Five companies responded to a fire at a shoe store

in Bridgeport: two trucks, two engine, one ambo.

And Benny was the incident commander.

Right, and at some point,

he ordered both Hopkins and Williams

into the jewelry shop next door to check for victims

and fire extension.

Once the operation was over, the owner of the jewelry store

discovered that a watch valued at approximately $50,000

was missing from his back office.

Well, how did they rule out insurance fraud?

That seems like the obvious explanation.

Well, it looks like the security footage put the watch

on top of a work table right up to the point where

the firefighters got there and cut the power to the building.

Cameras went dark after that.

Huh.

And according to this, Hopkins and Williams

were the only two firefighters

who ever went in the jewelry store.

Oh, wait, well, that means it had to be one of them.

There's no other possibility.

But you said that IAD cleared them.

What was their defense?

I don't know, the official findings

said insufficient evidence.

Do you have Hopkins and Williams' Form 2's over there?

Uh, Hopkins

and, uh, Williams...

Wait.

This is Williams?

Yeah, why?

This woman came to the firehouse

looking for Hopkins last week,

right before the charges came down against you.

She has to be in on it with him.

It makes perfect sense.

She's got all the same reasons as Hopkins,

same beef against Benny.

I have to go talk to her.

You sure that's a good idea?

She's not gonna admit to anything.

Well, from what I know about Hopkins,

he's obviously willing to steamroll anyone

to get what he wants.

Maybe that includes Williams.

Hey, I guess we need to talk about the call?

Just writing it up now.

Look, I did not mean to undermine you

in front of your company.

And what you were setting up to do, throwing water down,

that is usually the right move.

- But in this... - You spent years on Engine.

You know your stuff.

It's no problem.

Well, you're not acting like it's no problem.

It's this book, I guess.

I suppose I just don't like the waiting.

Okay, well, maybe stashing your phone away is making it worse.

You want me to go get it?

No, no, just...

just leave it.

Trying to keep myself occupied.

Okay, well, don't let me stop you.

Captain Williams?

Kelly Severide.

Yeah, I know who you are, Lieutenant.

I have no intention of discussing

an ongoing investigation with you.

So I suggest you stop whatever it is you're doing

before you make your situation any worse.

I'm just trying to understand this massive grudge that

Hopkins has against my father.

I read the full disciplinary file,

and from what I can see...

If you've read the file, then you know IAD cleared us.

They never found the watch.

They never found a single shred

of physical evidence against us.

And yet your father still took it upon himself

to try to derail our careers.

Because you and Hopkins were the only ones

who ever went in that store, ever.

It may not have been enough to bring on criminal charges,

but if I'm in my father's shoes,

I'm sure I would have come to the same conclusion.

Okay, that's enough, Lieutenant.

If I'm wrong, you tell me what I'm missing.

All I know is what I saw with my own eyes.

Hopkins was next to me the whole time.

That's how I know he didn't do it

and how he knows I didn't do it.

As for who else may or may not have been inside that store

in zero visibility smoke conditions,

I can't speak to that.

Wait a second, are you saying that

there was someone else in there?

Who?

The report said every other firefighter on scene

was accounted for.

That's right.

But who accounted for the incident commander?

Are you saying my father did it?

This meeting is over, Lieutenant.

I have work to do.

How the hell did Severide get his hands on that file?

It was definitely pulled from my department.

I'll find out by who.

Severide's trying to connect the dots between his IAD review

and what Benny did to us back in the day.

That's why he came to see me.

He's gonna argue the charges

against him are retaliatory.

He was.

I think he's on a whole different track

now that he knows there's more to the story

than what's in the official report.

Did you tell him it was Benny who stole the watch?

Not exactly, but he put it together.

Look...

getting rid of Severide and his kind

is obviously the goal here.

But Benny's dead, Jean.

And now we've set up his son to take him down?

It feels more, I don't know, personal, somehow.

And what good will it do anyway?

The case has been cold for 30 years.

You really think that Severide's

gonna magically solve it now?

I wouldn't worry about it, André.

But if he's off chasing ghosts, that just means

he's not building a retaliation case against us.

And that's a good thing for the whole CFD, right?

Benny takes command outside of Urban Sole,

that's the shoe store, at, uh,

6:01:28.

He orders Hopkins and Williams to force the jewelry store

security gate at 6:04:14.

And then Hopkins, "Two inside, Chief.

"Working our way through the showroom.

Moderate smoke, no hotspots on the delta side yet."

And then at 6:06:18, Hopkins says, "I got a locked door

"back here, bravo, charlie corner.

"I'm guessing it's an office.

Forcing it now."

Hopkins, "Office is clear, Chief.

We're moving back to the showroom."

And that's at 6:09:44.

Okay, Williams, "Got a bunch of smoke coming in from somewhere.

"Still negative on the delta side.

Fire sprinklers just triggered, cooling things down."

And then Benny issued the order for them to pick up

and secure the doors at 6:14:44.

And then Hopkins, "Two out, Chief.

Doors are secure," at 6:16:59.

16:59.

It's more than 10 minutes.

They had all the time in the world.

And nobody else goes inside until after the owner showed up.

Let's track Benny.

Benny, he was out front asking for progress reports,

calling out smoke conditions every couple of seconds.

And at 6:04:31, they pull a victim out of the shoe store.

6:04:31.

There's a bunch of back and forth between the medics

and the main for the next few minutes.

Male victim, 50, severe smoke inhalation.

Yep, Benny reported the paramedics

were departing for Lakeshore at 6:11:28.

And then, um, let's see here, we...

What happened next?

What is it, Cruz?

Um...

Benny was off radio for 98 seconds.

I mean, the statement says that he was outside the whole time,

but he was alone for those 98 seconds.

No one could corroborate his whereabouts.

Well, that doesn't prove anything.

We just have to comb through the files

and find another way to nail down

where he was for those 98 seconds.

Why?

Well, I'm sorry, uh,

maybe I'm not sure what it is we're doing here exactly.

If there's something else you wanna say here, Cruz?

I just...

I keep thinking what Kidd would say if she was here

and how maybe she'd be trying to keep you from digging

into Benny's past like this.

I'm so sorry, I just...

I thought this was about saving your job.

It's all connected, Cruz.

I gotta see it through.

- You know what I don't get? - Huh?

Smash burgers. When did that become a thing?

You don't like smash burgers?

Okay, what are we doing?

We're scraping the griddle and putting all

that fried gunk on the patty?

- Ew, no thank you. - That's it.

We are getting Cash's for dinner.

Ambo 61, we got a person down of unknown causes,

512 Kenwood Avenue.

Truck 81 is en route to assist.

Copy that. On our way.

There's a girl passed out upstairs.

We tried to wake her up, but she's really out of it.

Okay.

All right, Vasquez, stair chair.

- Copy. - Show us the way.

What's this girl's name?

I'm not sure. I never met her before.

She came with this girl Becca, but Becca just took off.

Did they do any drugs, do you know?

I don't know.

I heard some people were doing X,

but this doesn't seem like what that is.

Okay, let's grab naloxone and the nasal atomizer.

Heidi?

Oh, my God, Heidi, Heidi, Heidi.

Oh, God. It's her sister.

Come on, Heidi, it's me. It's Lizzie.

Come on. Heidi!

Hey, Heidi, Heidi, Heidi, Heidi, Heidi, wake up.

Come on. Hey...

- Vasquez, grab the leads. - Yep. You got it.

Novak, Novak, airway.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Come on. - Naloxone coming in.

She's still unresponsive.

Okay, but rhythm is steady.

Pulse is strong. Sats are coming up.

Okay, just keep bagging. I'll start an IV,

and we'll give her another dose.

Lizzie, you want me to take over?

- Okay. - Hey, come on.

Second dose coming in.

Here we go.

She should be waking up.

Just give it a couple seconds, okay?

Whoa. Whoa. Okay.

Let's get her on the stair chair.

- You got it. - Back up.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm here. It's okay.

Found unresponsive, no respiration, pupils pinpoint.

Gave 2 milligrams of naloxone intranasal.

No response. Gave another two IV.

Sats are 95 on 15 liters of oxygen.

It's okay. You're gonna be all right, okay?

Let's put her on the monitor, check her SpO2 and get more naloxone.

You go to a party, somebody offers you something,

these days, there's no way of knowing

whether it's safe or not.

I can't imagine seeing your sister like that.

Hope Heidi's okay.

Yeah, that Narcan sure did its job.

Yeah.

- That music? - No it's a ringtone.

Holy hell.

Oh-ho-ho.

Mouch!

Hey, Mouch.

Publisher's calling.

Send it to voicemail.

What? No, hey, this could be the call.

Wait. What are you doing?

All you've been talking about is wanting to hear from...

Didn't I tell you to keep the phone in the rig?

Okay, so now you don't wanna sell the book?

I don't know, Herrmann. Okay? I don't know.

Is that all right with you?

Well, hey, sell the book, don't sell the book.

I don't care.

I got your back either way.

But don't go yelling at me just because

I was trying to help you.

This is the only camera that was able to catch

the entire frontal.

That rig there is blocking most of the view.

You can see Benny pop up in a bunch of the frames.

There, there, there.

But not during the 98 seconds.

Maybe we missed something in one of the Form 2 statements.

Yeah.

Hey, you see this one?

I didn't realize how deep the building went.

Benny had a 98 second window, right?

Well, do we know for sure that that was enough time

for him to go inside, grab the watch, and come back out?

Between the front door and the back office,

it's 50 feet, at least.

It's not just the distance, he would have been

crossing in zero visibility.

And have to navigate through all sorts of obstacles...

the jewelry cases, countertops, God knows what else.

Maybe we can reconstruct the exact path

from the insurance photos.

There's counters on both sides,

but it looks like it's a straight shot

to the back of the store.

Maybe this display thing could have slowed him down

a bit, but...

What time did Benny report Engine 24 landing?

Um...

6:14:41.

And what time did the sprinkler system

at the jewelry store go on?

6:14:38.

We're looking at the wrong time window.

Yes, yes, ma'am.

We're still waiting on a medical update.

So with your permission, I would like to take 61

out of service for the duration.

Understood, okay. Thank you.

Yeah, I'll let her know.

Hey.

How is she?

We don't know yet, but someone should be out

any minute with an update.

How the hell did this happen, Lizzie?

Did someone slip something in her drink?

She wouldn't take that stuff intentionally, right?

Novak family?

That's us. What's going on?

Your sister is awake and stable.

She's still a little foggy.

But doctor says you can go in and see her now.

We gotta stop meeting like this.

I'm sorry, Lizzie.

This is...

What were you thinking?

I don't know.

I wasn't.

Listen, you cannot keep going down this road, Heidi.

This has to stop.

What are you guys talking about?

This isn't the first time?

This has happened before?

I'm sorry, Will, I...

How could you guys not tell me?

We weren't really talking, remember?

You've been off doing your own thing,

living the way the hell out in Aurora

with that girl and your dogs.

Her name is Jolene, Heidi.

And that's your explanation?

That's not what this is.

We just... we didn't wanna worry you.

Like you didn't wanna worry me when you were here?

They thought you might die.

What the hell is wrong with this family?

Night, Chief.

I'll upload all these requisitions for you before I go.

I noticed some highly sensitive files

were pulled from personnel recently.

So I looked into who requested them.

Well, I'm sure you can imagine my surprise

when I discovered it was me.

I wasn't...

I know how it looks, I just...

It doesn't matter, Lucy.

I'm sure you had your reasons.

The only thing that matters is, I can't trust you anymore.

- Chief. - I have to let you go.

You're done here at 51.

You know how I found out about what

really happened to Mom?

Some girl at school told me.

Isla Daniels.

She was the worst.

I am so sorry, Will, but...

I'm not saying that's on you.

You were just a kid too.

I guess...

sometimes you think you're protecting someone,

but you don't realize you're just pushing them away.

You're still here.

Of course.

Yeah, we wouldn't leave without making sure

you're okay, Heidi.

You know that, right?

Oh, I am

so not okay.

It's just, uh...

I don't know how to stop.

I think...

I don't know, um, I need help

or something, I guess.

It's okay.

We can do that. Whatever you need, Heidi.

We can figure it out, together.

Right, Will?

You better have a damn good reason for coming

to my home, Lieutenant.

I do, Chief.

I assume Captain Williams told you I got my hands

on your disciplinary file.

I've gone over every inch of the case,

and there's only three people

who could have stolen that watch:

my father, Captain Williams, and you.

Listen here, Lieutenant.

What if I told you I had clear photographic evidence

that definitively ruled out at least one of those people?

- Hey. - Hey.

- How's Heidi? - She's okay.

They are keeping her overnight so she can detox,

and so they can all figure out next steps.

But supposedly she's breathing well,

and all of her vitals are stable.

Oh, good. Good.

And Novak's in there with her?

Yeah.

I'm sure she'll be really glad that you came.

Yeah, I mean, jeez, after everything she's been through

and now this.

Yeah, but she's tough as nails, you know?

She can handle a lot.

No, yeah, you're right. You're right.

Yeah.

What?

What?

Nothing.

I was just thinking that, um...

Lizzie is a really amazing person.

Hmm.

Yeah, she is.

Sorry to make you wait, André.

That was my son's school.

What's going on?

Severide came to see me at home.

Damn, the guy is relentless.

He showed me something I thought you'd find interesting.

This is an insurance photo, I take it?

See that right there?

The missing watch box left a residue on the table

from when the sprinklers activated and doused the whole space.

And?

That means it was still there when the sprinklers turned on.

Right, I'm still not following.

The watch was stolen after the sprinklers were triggered.

Benny was MIA for 98 seconds.

Plenty of time for him to have done it, right?

Except that 98 second window

was before the sprinklers went off.

By the time they went on, he was out front

calling out Engine 24's arrival.

Benny Severide couldn't have done it.

I'm not sure what you're implying, but...

You said you were right behind me the whole time.

I was. You know I was, André.

You said you dropped to your knees

because your mask malfunctioned after the sprinklers went on.

That's why I lost track of you for a minute.

And I believed you because we were partners.

After all they put the two of us through

at Benny's firehouse...

the hazing, the freezing us out?

I guess I thought I deserved something for it.

But I never meant for it to fall on you.

But it did, Jean.

You hung me out to dry.

You derailed my career.

You did that, not Benny Severide.

Williams copped to it.

I have requested your internal review

be terminated immediately.

Knowing what I know now,

should have never been started in the first place.

All due respect, Chief,

the facts of a 30-year-old case

should have never been relevant,

no matter what they were.

You're not wrong.

But I meant what I know about you now, Captain.

I made some big assumptions about you, about who you were.

My judgment was clouded.

And that's on me.

My father may have never been a thief,

but he was a difficult person.

No one knows that better than me.

The man could put people through hell.

True.

But he also made me tougher.

Showed me how bad I wanted this life.

I suspect he did the same for you.

I'll be back at working out of my old office at 20 next shift.

Hey, how's she doing?

- Hey, she's okay. - Yeah?

They're keeping her another night,

so I was gonna head home to shower and change

and catch a nap before coming back to pick her up.

- Will's gonna come too. - Really?

Yeah, he's gonna stay in the city for a couple of days.

Oh, good.

How long have you been here?

Oh, not long. Um...

Nice try.

I don't know if you can tell from his little trash pile,

but he's been loitering here for hours.

Well, thank you for being here.

- Yeah. - Both of you.

Of course.

I am gonna clean that up.

Oh, thanks, Vi.

Yeah.

Hey, you really didn't have to come.

I know.

Y'all ready?

Yeah.

I don't know, Severide said that Hopkins

is still running the house,

he's just not working out of 51 anymore.

Well, hopefully that means that things

will finally get back to normal around here.

- You think Lucy goes with him? - Eh.

I'd say ask her yourself, but I'm not sure she's coming in.

Now that you mention it, I didn't see her

when I clocked out this morning.

Excuse me.

What's with the side bar? You keeping a secret?

Nah, I just don't want them hearing me apologize.

Ah, come on, Mouch, you don't have to do this.

I was pushing.

No, you were trying to help, as per usual.

After that crash yesterday, when you saved our asses,

I walked away feeling something wasn't right.

Couldn't put my finger on it until you stormed off.

And that's when it hit me.

You were wrong.

Is this you still being sorry?

You said the problem with my book was, it needs more Mouch.

But that's not all that was missing.

This book shouldn't be a memoir

because I didn't get here alone.

Someone's always had my back.

Yeah.

"Brothers-In-Arms: The Story of a Friendship Forged in Fire."

I wouldn't be lieutenant if it weren't for your sacrifice.

Hell, I'd probably be home pining for the good old days.

The point is, this isn't my story.

It's ours.

Come on, Mouch, you don't have to do that.

I do.

And don't worry,

I'll make sure you look good.

Oh, yeah, well, that's the easy part.

See, honestly, what I'm worried about

is you having to share the spotlight

with a natural hero type like me.

I think I'll manage.

How's Isaiah's mom doing?

Better.

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction.

Stella's heading back tomorrow.

Well, you two have a lot to catch up on, I bet.

I have to admit, I wasn't sure how this whole

Hopkins thing was gonna play out.

I figured the odds of you digging up

something useful out of that dusty old file

were pretty slim.

Thanks for keeping that to yourself the other day.

Yeah, well, after all these years,

I should have known you'd go ahead and solve

the whole damn thing.

Well, I had plenty of help from Cruz.

I'm just glad 51 is no longer in anyone's crosshairs.

Listen, Kelly...

I know this is a complicated subject,

for reasons that go way back,

which is why I've never pushed you on it.

But Hargrave's idea for you to take over OFI,

that wasn't just about your internal review.

She's leaving.

That office is yours if you want it.

If you'd asked me a few years ago,

I might have felt differently.

I mean, I've always known that you are meant to be at OFI.

It's in your blood. That much is obvious.

But it's more than that.

The last couple of years, the leader you've become,

the leadership you've shown through this Hopkins thing,

the way I've seen you fight, not just for yourself,

for your whole firehouse,

that's just the kind of leadership

that OFI needs right now.

I really hope you'll consider it.
