- We've got people alive
in here.

We've got to get them out!

You deserve
a better man than me.

So I decided I'm going
to be the man you deserve.

- Get out!

That's an order!

It is part of my job to teach
you the ways of the world.

- I'm not leaving you!

- Send Brett and Foster in
if you can spare them.

- What's the fire
like where you are?

- They're safe up here.

- Suit up.
Follow me.

- Good to see you back
with the Chaplain.

You're good together.

- I'm leaving
for Indiana tomorrow,

and I am begging you
to come with me.

Will you marry me?

- Evacuate!

Evacuate!

- It's about to blow!

- Severide,
how can we help?

- Almost there!

- Where's Herrmann?

- Follow the line!

- Hey, go get Engine!
We'll get this door open!

- Truck, follow me!

Let's go!

- Hey, you sure you're good?

- Yeah, yeah!
I'm good!

- All right!
- Go with them!

- Damn it, Ritter, I'm not
gonna tell you a third time.

Leave now!
- No!

- Herrmann, drop the hoses!
Come on!

It's gonna blow!

- Casey!
- I'm not asking!

- Get down!
Get down!

- Get back!
Stay back!

It's gonna blow!

You guys okay?

- I'm okay.
- I'm fine.

- Foster.
- I'm okay.

I'm okay, Chief.

- Brett.

Help.

Mayday, mayday!
Firefighter down!

Floor collapse,
basement, Charlie side!

- Get these guys out of here!

I'll go help Boden.
Go!

Keep moving!

Quick, come on!
We can get out this way!

- Easy.
- Okay.

- Let's get her out of here
before this stuff shifts again.

- Copy.

- Nice and easy!
Let's get you out of here!

We'll hold the ladders.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!

- Sylvie, this is gonna hurt.

- All right, but I have
to splint your arm

so I can get you out of here.

You grab onto me, okay?

We're gonna go on three.

Okay, one, two, three.

- Okay.

- The roof collapsed?
- Casey.

- It was two feet of concrete.
- Casey.

- I would've never
would've called you

into position if I'd known.

- Casey!
- What?

- Concentrate on getting
Brett and everybody else

out of this basement.

We can Monday morning
quarterback it later.

- Casey, what do you need?

- Brett's got an arm fracture.

Backboard to get her
out of here.

Stokes basket
at the ready!

- Copy!
Capp, Tony!

Can you lower us down a Stokes
basket from the floor above?

- Copy that!
- We're stable.

- You're going to be okay.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

- Otis?

Otis!

Firefighter down!
Firefighter down!

It's Otis!

Over here!
It's Otis!

Oh, no,
You hold on.

Firefighter down!
Firefighter down!

- Is he responsive?

- No, no.
No, he's not.

- What happened?

Otis?

- Let's get him in.
Come on.

- When I give you an order,
Ritter...

you follow it.

- I--I just--
I wanted--

- I don't care what you want.

I'm the lieutenant.

I'm your lieutenant,

which means I am responsible
for your life.

Whether you care about it
or not.

- Look, um, I know...

You're going up to
a better place and, um...

I know when you get there,

they're gonna welcome you
with open arms.

Maybe, uh,
you could save us a place

to live up there together,
you know?

I'll be there someday.

I love you, brother.

I love you
and I'm going to miss you.

- How long have you
had it on, exactly?

- Three months, yesterday.

- Roll your wrist for me.

Any pain?
- Mm-mmm.

- Make a fist.
Open.

Again.

Any pain at all?

- Mm-mmm.

- Now your mother tells me
you are interviewing

at the Fowlerton Firehouse?

- Today, actually.

- Do you know Chief
Bruce Amshen over there?

- I don't.
- Oh yeah, good guy.

He has got some stories.

Let me tell you.

Anyway, soak your arm
in warm water 20 minutes a day

for the next two weeks,

and start some light exercises

and build
that resistance daily.

Should be good to go
within the month.

Now say hi to your folks
for me,

and congratulations
on that engagement.

Thank you.

- Wow, look at that.

- Yeah.
- Let me see.

- Oh, my gosh.
It's as good as new.

- Um, that took a little bit
longer than I thought it would.

Do you mind dropping me off
at the Fowlerton Firehouse

or do you have a--
- Uh, no, of course.

Um...

I do have the cross department
citywide lecture series

to get to this afternoon,
but, uh, sure.

Yeah.
Plenty of time.

- You didn't tell me
you were lecturing.

- I knew you were interviewing.

I didn't want you to feel
you had to come.

- Well, I could've rescheduled.

- Ah, you'll have plenty
of chances to hear me speak.

- But it's
the cross department--

- Citywide lecture series.
It's a huge deal.

- Well, um,
I can make dinner tonight

and you can tell me
all about it.

- Sounds good.

- Which leaves window duties.

All right, all right.
Calm down.

Second shift drew
the short straw.

I don't care how you do it,
just get it done.

Front, back,
and the apparatus floor.

Casey, Severide, Herrmann,
you decide how to parse it out.

And lastly, Joe Cruz.

It had come to my attention
that you've been raising money

for the Future Leaders Fund.

- Uh, yeah.

Um, it's a, um, nonprofit that
raises money for scholarships.

They'll have a fundraiser next
weekend on the North Shore.

- Consider me signed up.
- Me too.

- Yeah, I'll post
the information

on the bulletin board.

- Right.

Okay, so if that is everything.
Ah, right.

Emily, um, I got a call.

Your new floater paramedic
was given late notice.

Should be here within the hour.

Kidd will cover
until he arrives.

- Thanks, Chief.

- Right.
Dismissed.

Hey, um, you two come
and see me in my office.

- You got it, Chief.
- Yeah, of course.

- Okay.

- Oh, one second?
- Yeah.

- Um, hi.
Hi.

Uh, are you my partner?

- Yeah, yeah.
Chad Collins.

How are you doing?

- Uh, Emily Foster.
Glad to have you.

- I just spin the wheel
and show up where they tell me.

- Well, uh, you are
at a great spot at 51.

- You ever get that feeling?

- What?

- We're gonna be friends.

- Uh-huh.

- Where's the pisser at?

- The bathroom?
- That's the one.

- Um, it's down the hall.

- See you in a dozen.

- What just happened?

- Cute, though.
- No comment.

- I know that guy
from somewhere.

- I've never seen him before.

- You sure?
- Yeah, pretty sure.

- Huh.

- So something I want
to keep you both abreast of.

The official government report
from the mattress factory fire

has been further delayed.

- What the hell
is taking so long?

- They have four
factory workers dead

along with a firefighter,

And there's some noise
about disciplinary action.

- Against the CFD?

- They're asking
for clarification

in my incident report.

Sent me a whole bunch
of questions.

- Anything more
you need us to do?

- No.
We wait.

So Casey.

- Yes, Chief?

- How's the search coming
for the new firefighter

for Truck 81?

- I'll know the right fit
when I see it.

- It's been three months.

- Yeah.

I promise I'm looking.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- You okay?

- They have our reports.

They drag these things on
at a snail's pace,

not seeing or not caring

that we have to keep reliving
the call.

- Nothing moves slower through
the CFD than paperwork.

It's the first thing
I learned at the academy.

- I guess.
It's just--

- Keep your chin up.

Don't let these pencil pushers
get to you.

They'll get the report out,

it'll get shoved in
a file somewhere,

and it's done.

- Why don't you guys start
on the outside apron windows?

- Hey Ritter.

Did you take a pike pole out
of the rig

after that kitchen fire
last shift?

- Yeah, I did.

The, uh, pike part of it was
breaking away from the handle,

so I sent it
to equipment maintenance.

We should be getting
a replacement.

- It has been good
having you on Truck.

I mean,
under the circumstances.

- Herrmann's barely looked at
me since the...

- Ah, he's not sore at you.

- You didn't see him
light me up.

- That's just his default
disposition.

- Well, he--he hasn't exactly
asked me back to Engine.

- I'm gonna grab another
soap bucket,

get to the windows outside
the briefing room.

- I can help with that.

- ♪ Working hard
for the money ♪

♪ Don't you know it?
Don't you know it? ♪

♪ Money,
hey, hey, hey ♪

♪ Don't you want to go
to dinner with me tonight? ♪

♪ I need you now

- Well...

I guess one shift in Chicago

is worth a whole year out here
in terms of experience, huh?

We stayed pretty busy.

- And you can work full-time?

- Yes.
I'd like to if that's okay.

- Oh, that won't be a problem.

Um, Mason and Sissy, they're,
uh, they're just part-timers.

They mainly do veterinarian
work up at the feed supply.

They help out
when they can, but, uh,

well, the city approved
a full-time paramedic and...

We'd love to have ya.

- I'm hired?
- Just like that.

Shake hands on it before
you change your mind.

Now you can start
next Wednesday, 9:00 a.m.

- I'll be here.

Sylvie Brett?

- Hope?

- I heard from my mom
that you were in Fowlerton.

- Uh, I, um, my--my fiancé
works in Anderson.

- Shut up.
Engaged again?

That is amazing.

Sylvie was supposed to get
married right out of college,

but then her fiancé
got cold feet.

Then she ran off to Chicago,

and everybody said,
"She'll be back someday

'cause Chicago
is too fast for her."

I guess they were right!

- Yup.

- Well, I don't care
how it happened.

I'm just glad that you're here

because all I've wanted to do

since I left Chicago
is reconcile,

reconnect, what have you.

- Yeah.

- It's a small town.

There's no sense in wasting
another day on ancient history.

We used to be tight.

We should be again.

- I--I'd like that.

- That was so good.
- Agreed.

Boden recommended it.

Or Donna, actually.

Said bring someone there
for a special occasion.

- What is the special occasion?
- You.

- And they said that
you weren't romantic.

- Who said that?
- Oh, I don't know.

Everyone.

- Well, maybe I didn't have the
right girl to be romantic with.

- Hey, how's Casey doing?

- He carries the weight
of this more than the rest.

- I can tell.

- He said he's going
to Molly's tonight.

- You want to head over there?

- Well,
Molly's North is no more.

- Oh, is that right?

- Yup, Lily shut it down.

She just didn't want
to go on without Otis anymore.

- Sorry to hear
it's closing down.

- Yeah.

- Hey

Mind if I join you?

- Yeah, sure thing, Chief.

- So, uh...

How's it going, Joe?

- Good.
You know, I'm pretty good.

I've been getting more involved
with the church,

which has been great.

Volunteering,
that kind of thing.

- Yeah.
- And Chloe, she's...

she's incredible.

Been a good ear, you know?

So overall,
I'm doing all right.

- Glad to hear it.

The last thing
that Otis said to me

was a Russian phrase.

Clear as day.

- What does that mean?

- That's just it.
I don't know.

I didn't look it up.

I just...

what if he was saying
something about

how much pain he was in?

Or if he was out of his mind?

Like I just don't want
his last interaction

with him to be...

- Hey.

You know what my big fear is?

We got all these plaques
on the wall

and these badges
at the academy...

But what happens
five years from now?

Or ten?

When we're all split up
and there's new firefighters

walking the halls of 51

and somebody goes,
"Hey, who is that guy?"

And nobody knows.

Anyway,
that's what I think about.

- I don't know how
to answer you, Joe.

I really don't.

- 'Cause the questions
that you asked

are the same questions I ask.

A lot.

Ooh, uh, pardon me.

This is headquarters.
I--

- It's okay, Chief.
- I'll be right back.

- Listen, Kidd's been staying
over more and more.

If you guys want me out
of there to give your privacy--

- Forget it.
We're fine.

She's fine.

- I'm just saying I--
- Don't bring it up again.

You're not going anywhere.

- All right.

- Hey guys.

I just had some bad news.

Because of the sensitivity
of the official report,

they have decided
to hold an inquiry,

specifically focusing on
the radio call that Casey made

to request the paramedics
to enter the fire scene.

- What?
- It's happening.

- When?

- Next shift.

I'll accompany you.
It'll be fine.

- No, it won't.

This is scapegoat time, Chief.

You know it.
I know it.

- This is endless.

- You're the early bird.
- Yup.

Been catching that worm.

Of course he drives
a convertible.

- Yeah.

- Truck 81, Ambulance 61,

child trapped,
1915 North Clark Drive.

- Hey, come on!
Get in!

- Hurry!
Come on, you guys!

Hurry!

It's my son, Sebastian.

He climbed up the prize chute.

- Show us.

Coming through.
- All right, back it up.

- Thank you.

- Back it up.
Back it up.

- Kidd, unplug this machine.

Ritter, get these people back.

Mouch, get me
the whizzer saw.

- Copy.

- Can you guys give us
some space, please?

Yeah, just back up.
Give them some space.

Thank you.
Thank you.

- Should we just
break the glass?

- We can't protect his face.

- Hey.
Hey, buddy.

Just relax.

We're going to get you
out of here,

but I need you
to breathe first.

So--so watch me.

You're gonna go in.

Out.
There you go.

- Mouch, come on.
Let's go.

- Yeah.

- It's okay, buddy.
- You okay?

- Yeah, let's just
get this save.

- Just try and relax.
Keep breathing.

That's it.

Okay, go in.

Out.

- Pop it.

- Slow it down.

- Phillips.

- Keep breathing.

You're doing great.
You're doing great.

- All right,
let's get his leg down.

That's it.
Slowly.

- Almost there.

- Take it slow.
Okay, I got you.

There you go.

- All right, you got him?
- There you go.

- Okay.

Give me a big breath in, okay?
- Okay.

- He sounds okay.

Uh, will you hand me
a pulse ox?

- ♪ It's your birthday

♪ It's your birthday

- Collins.
Collins!

- What?
- Collins, pulse ox, please.

- Sorry.

- You're doing great, buddy.

- Breathe.
Yeah.

- All right, we're good to go.
Let's get him to Med.

You guys can come ride with us.

There you go!

- I would like my next
birthday party here, please.

- Thank you so much.
- Yeah.

- Good job.

What's up, boss man?

- How is that going?

- A great combination
of barely competent

and completely lazy.

- So I'll continue searching.

You're gonna have
to carry the load

for the next few shifts, so...

No worries.

- Okay, um, there's a reason
I wanted to talk.

We have an inquiry today
to do with the mattress fire

with a new wrinkle.

Um, they're looking
to blame Casey

for bringing you and Brett
into the fire scene.

- That's ridiculous.
- Agreed.

- Brett and I and any paramedic
not named Collins

would've run
into that building.

- I'm glad to hear you
say that.

I feel the same way.

So are you willing to write
that down for the committee?

- Gladly.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- I told you I knew this guy!

Busted!

I cannot wait to see
the look on his face.

Cool.

- Excuse me, we're here
for the safety hearing.

- Through there.
- Thank you.

- These aren't
just firefighters.

- Nope.

A lot of cover-your-ass
officials.

Same as it ever was.

- Gentlemen?

The commission
will see you now.

- So you were up above the fire
on the first floor,

changing out your...

- My air bottle.
Yes, sir.

- And you radioed Chief Boden,

and told him what exactly?

- You have the logs.

- Yes, I do.

Captain Casey,

"Chief, I've got
smoke inhalation victims

"that have made it out
of the basement,

"but can't get outside to you.

Can you send Brett
and Foster in?"

Chief Boden:
"How's the fire where you are?"

Captain Casey...

"They're safe up here."

Captain Casey continues,

"The floor is two feet
of cement.

"Basement's another story.

They're safe up here."

That's what Matt Casey declared
on May 22nd, when--

- What was next?

- Excuse me?

- What was next
in the radio log?

- Um...

uh, you say,
"Okay, I'll send them in."

- That's right.

I say, "I'llsend them in."

- But it was
his responsibility.

- The order was mine.

In a fire scene, in all
the chaos and unpredictability,

a firefighter can only relay
back to his incident commander

the information
he has at the time,

but it is up to the chief
to make a decision

where or when to send
the additional resources.

Now in front of you,
you should all have letters

from Emily Foster
and Sylvie Brett

testifying that they would have
entered the factory anyway.

But those letters don't matter
because it was I,

not Captain Casey,
not anyone else,

but I who ordered them
into the fire scene.

So if you are looking
to blame someone,

if you are looking
for a human scapegoat,

blame me.

- I'm gonna go find
a Coke machine.

Do you want anything?

- No.

- You've been cleared
of all wrongdoing.

It's over.

- The other night,

Severide said they're
gonna write this report,

it'll be stamped,
"I'm clear,"

and then it'll be shoved in
a desk somewhere

and disappear forever.

- Yeah.

- Well, it's just...

I lost a firefighter that day.

I'll never be clear.

- Casey's been cleared.

They're not gonna blame
firefighters for anything.

Tragic accident, full stop.

Lieutenant?

- Ritter.

- Did you hear him?

- Yeah, I heard him.

- Listen, I...

I've been thinking about
what you said that day to me.

- Mm-hmm.

- Pretty much nonstop
for months,

and I just want you to know
I was wrong.

I was wrong
to defy your orders,

and you were right
to give them.

And if you ever saw fit
to bring me back to Engine,

I would not hesitate
to follow your command.

- Of course I'm bringing you
back to Engine.

I'm just loaning you
out to Casey

until he finds a good fit,
all right?

- Thank God.

I--I was worried that
this was a permanent thing.

- No, not at all.
All right?

But listen, I'm not going
to apologize

for going rough on you.

You not following orders means
that I did not train you right.

- I'm going to make up
for that when I'm back.

- All right,
I look forward to it.

Go on.
- All right.

- Go.

- So what you're gonna do
is you're gonna lean back

and angle your head.
- Mm-hmm.

So only this side
catches the light.

- Okay.

- That way, the pose is both
slimming and alluring.

Call it the Neiman Marcus shot.

- Okay, I like this.

- Yeah, okay, uh,
lean back.

That's it!

Yeah, we've got
to take a picture of this!

- Oh, uh, Trudy and I are
doing, like,

an early, uh,
Christmas card.

It's...
- He looks really sexy.

- Brett, you've got
to call me back.

This is madness going on
in this house.

I am telling you.

- Nice piece of land
your folks got here.

- Yeah.
- We should look in this area.

- Okay, maybe not so close.

- Right.
Sure.

You okay, Sylvie?

- Yeah.

I mean...

I don't know.

- Talk to me.

- The firehouse today
is just...

I think it's going to be
a slow house,

and this girl I know,
Hope Jacquinot,

is dating one of the firemen,

which is gonna bring
some complications

that I'm just not sure
I wanna deal with.

- Okay.

I was gonna say this before,

but I didn't want it
to come across the wrong way.

You don't have to work.

- What?

- I mean,
being a chaplain's wife.

It is work.

A chaplain's wife does
the same thing as a paramedic.

You help people
get through pain,

you--you patch them up,
you make them feel better.

It's about helping people.

Which is what
you're so good at.

- Um...

I hadn't--I hadn't thought
about it that way.

- Maybe you try it out,

and then you go back to work
part-time or however.

However you want
to make it work.

Really.

No pressure.

- Hey, Chief Boden wants to see
us out in the north apron.

- Who does he want?
- Everyone.

- Come on, guys.
Gather around.

Who's going to remember us?

It's a question that
all of us who do this job,

we ask ourselves
at one moment or another.

Who will remember our work
after we're gone?

Brian Zvonecek.

He was our brother,
he was a friend,

he was a hell
of a firefighter.

He was smart,
he was funny, he was kind,

he was unselfish,
and he was loyal.

So...

If you see someone...

a fellow firefighter,
citizen, friend

standing looking
at this memorial,

I want you to come down
this apron

and you tell them about Brian.

You tell them the story
about who Brian was,

the kind of man he was.

That way, you will bring
this memorial to life.

Yeah, I looked it up.

Those were Brian's last words
and they mean,

"Brother,
I will be with you always."

I can't think of a better way
to remember Brian.

So from this day forward...

this memorial site
is sacred ground.
