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,

break up 51 to get it.

- 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...

[suspenseful music]

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.

get his hands on that file?

pulled from my department.

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.

will it do anyway?

- The case has been cold

You really think
that Severide's

gonna magically solve it now?

I wouldn't worry
about it, André.

outside of Urban Sole,

that's the shoe store, at, uh,

6:01:28.

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."

for them to pick up

and secure the doors
at 6:14:44.

I made some big assumptions

That office is yours

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.
