00:08:54,890 --> 00:08:56,456
- It's Captain Severide.

182
00:08:56,558 --> 00:08:58,625
He's the head of 51.
Guy's a legend.

183
00:08:58,727 --> 00:09:00,627
- Oh, nice.

184
00:09:00,729 --> 00:09:02,862
- Our training officer
is Stella Kidd.

185
00:09:02,965 --> 00:09:04,664
Don't you read your emails,
dumbass?

186
00:09:04,766 --> 00:09:06,666
- [chuckles]
Hey, bro, I got this job

187
00:09:06,768 --> 00:09:08,702
so I didn't have
to read emails.

188
00:09:12,808 --> 00:09:14,474
- I think it's awesome.

189
00:09:14,576 --> 00:09:16,776
Nothing like new blood
in the house to keep us

190
00:09:16,878 --> 00:09:18,578
old timers on our toes.

191
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:21,815
- Heard those young blood
transfusions really work.

192
00:09:21,917 --> 00:09:23,984
- Told you to stop reading
"Natural News."

193
00:09:24,086 --> 00:09:25,318
- But how cool is it
that Kidd got tapped

194
00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:27,454
to be a training officer?
That's a big deal.

195
00:09:27,556 --> 00:09:28,989
- Huge deal.

196
00:09:29,091 --> 00:09:31,858
Probably means they're
grooming her for bigger things.

197
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,060
Nobody deserves it more.

198
00:09:34,162 --> 00:09:35,962
- True.

199
00:09:37,666 --> 00:09:39,332
So...

200
00:09:39,434 --> 00:09:41,201
- So?

201
00:09:41,303 --> 00:09:43,270
- Looked like that lady cop was
interrogating you pretty hard

202
00:09:43,372 --> 00:09:45,038
last night.
- Oh, God.

203
00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:46,206
- What?
She's cute.

204
00:09:46,308 --> 00:09:48,375
- She's a friend, OK?
Not even.

205
00:09:48,477 --> 00:09:49,442
She's a friend of Girardi's,
actually.

206
00:09:49,544 --> 00:09:50,710
- Uh-huh.

207
00:09:50,812 --> 00:09:53,413
Friend of a friend,
with benefits.

208
00:09:53,515 --> 00:09:55,749
Uh, but you should invite
Girardi to Molly's more often.

209
00:09:55,851 --> 00:09:57,917
Yeah, he seems like a good guy.

210
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:59,486
- Yeah.

211
00:10:01,556 --> 00:10:03,023
Good morning, Lizzy.

212
00:10:03,125 --> 00:10:05,358
- The lady cop left handcuff
marks on your wrist.

213
00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:07,460
- Did she?

214
00:10:08,864 --> 00:10:10,230
- So when are you guys
gonna put

215
00:10:10,332 --> 00:10:12,866
these weird vibes behind you?
- Ask him.

216
00:10:12,968 --> 00:10:14,734
I'm not the one keeping
these weird vibes going.

217
00:10:14,836 --> 00:10:16,936
And you don't need to change
the subject when I walk in.

218
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:19,205
I couldn't care less
who he's sleeping with.

219
00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:21,641
- OK.
You got it.

220

- Hey.
- Hey.

221
00:10:26,915 --> 00:10:28,114
- How is the new place?

222
00:10:28,216 --> 00:10:30,684
- Isaiah seems happy.
He's got a big room.

223
00:10:30,786 --> 00:10:33,086
He's only a block away
from the Blue Line,

224
00:10:33,188 --> 00:10:34,754
so he can come over
whenever he wants.

225
00:10:34,856 --> 00:10:36,523
- And how does Mom seem?

226
00:10:36,625 --> 00:10:38,425
- I think she seems glad
she changed her mind

227
00:10:38,527 --> 00:10:40,627
and moved back.
I think they both are.

228
00:10:40,729 --> 00:10:42,662
- I'm bummed I didn't get
to see them this morning.

229
00:10:42,764 --> 00:10:44,030
- Yeah.

230
00:10:44,132 --> 00:10:47,400
How was the kickoff meeting
with the training chief?

231
00:10:47,502 --> 00:10:51,638
- Uh, honestly,
it was a little intimidating.

232
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:54,841
Uh, he said that the probies
they assigned me

233
00:10:54,943 --> 00:10:58,244
were all top of their class
at the academy.

234
00:10:58,347 --> 00:10:59,979
I think they're testing me.

235
00:11:00,082 --> 00:11:03,149

like you always do.

237

238
00:11:09,458 --> 00:11:11,024
- Some guy
from the "Telegraph."

239
00:11:11,126 --> 00:11:12,926
He already left me
a message this morning.

240
00:11:13,028 --> 00:11:15,528
- So did he say what
he was calling about?

241
00:11:15,630 --> 00:11:20,367
- No, just that he wanted
to talk to the head of 51.

242
00:11:20,469 --> 00:11:23,470
- Well, that is you now,
Captain.

our new probies,

or did somebody hire
Thunder from Down Under?

250
00:11:36,718 --> 00:11:38,084
- Who, me?
- Yeah.

251
00:11:38,186 --> 00:11:39,185
- Marcus.
- Hi.

252
00:11:39,287 --> 00:11:40,720
- Marcus Burke.
- Hi, I'm Lizzy.

253
00:11:40,822 --> 00:11:42,422
Welcome to 51, Burke.

254
00:11:42,524 --> 00:11:43,957
- Welcome to the firehouse.
- All right.

Hollis, and Burke.

probationary period.

Uh, you all will be reporting
to your training officer,

265
00:12:04,613 --> 00:12:06,646
Lieutenant Kidd.
- Yes, Captain.

266
00:12:06,748 --> 00:12:09,315
- And one last thing before
we get to any other business,

267
00:12:09,418 --> 00:12:10,717
I talked to Cruz.

268
00:12:10,819 --> 00:12:12,819
His neurological exam
went well this morning,

269
00:12:12,921 --> 00:12:14,621
but they're still waiting
on test results

270

So keep sending

- Yeah, I'll be quick.

273
00:12:22,898 --> 00:12:24,831

everybody for staying

to the Cruz family.

So let's keep it up.

277
00:12:31,706 --> 00:12:34,107

that we are on

00:12:34,209 --> 00:12:36,176

West Pershing Warehouse fire.

292
00:13:02,537 --> 00:13:05,071
And to be honest, they
haven't been very cooperative.

293
00:13:05,173 --> 00:13:06,539

what to tell you.

any idea why the CFD

295
00:13:08,343 --> 00:13:10,877
hasn't released any findings?

296
00:13:10,979 --> 00:13:12,912

in that fire,

297
00:13:13,014 --> 00:13:14,214

- I have a reliable source
telling me

302
00:13:23,225 --> 00:13:26,326
the CFD is dragging their feet
to protect their own.

303

I assume that means they're
protecting your firehouse since-
