1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,220
I cannot in good conscience put people's
lives in your hands, McCaffrey. We've

2
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:09,139
got to cut you loose.

3
00:00:09,140 --> 00:00:11,420
You have no idea who the hell you're
dealing with.

4
00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:14,100
His dad is currently a state senator.

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,400
What are you saying, Chief?

6
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,400
A job like this one, you can't have too
many friends.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,240
I should be getting better. It should be
getting easier, but it's not.

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,560
So why keep torturing myself?

9
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:30,880
Because your family needs you. Your 51
family needs you, too.

10
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:33,810
All arsonists need a worthy adversary.

11
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:37,590
Galloway called you in because he knew
you could solve this case.

12
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:39,030
Galloway, no!

13
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:43,350
That's the thing. Not sure I did.

14
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,960
Nice and steady, left foot.

15
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,160
Good, good.

16
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,560
Yes, keep your balance.

17
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:23,780
You got this.

18
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,440
Nice, well done.

19
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,400
Yes.

20
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,180
All right.

21
00:01:49,490 --> 00:01:50,610
One step at a time.

22
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:54,190
How many to top yesterday's mark? Let's
not focus. How many?

23
00:01:55,150 --> 00:01:56,150
288.

24
00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:01,030
I'm doing 300.

25
00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:08,050
Go!

26
00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:11,530
I got you. Let's go.

27
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:37,920
Not bad Not perfect But you'll get
there.

28
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,320
What's the record? Don't worry about a
record.

29
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,920
Y'all are working as a unit. That's what
matters fall in

30
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,460
Gentlemen, your rotation here is almost
over.

31
00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:54,040
So pretty soon you're going to be on
different rigs with different crews.

32
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:55,520
So just remember this.

33
00:02:55,780 --> 00:02:58,740
This job, it is not about who finishes
first.

34
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,100
It's just making sure that everybody
does.

35
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Good work.

36
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:06,880
Let's run it back. All right?

37
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,020
So Jacob finally asked you out. He
offered to buy me dinner. A thanks for

38
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:16,560
handing him the psych ward story. The AP
picked it up.

39
00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:18,420
But you're going to dinner with him,
right?

40
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:21,380
No, I said he could just buy me a drink
in Molly's.

41
00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:25,820
What?

42
00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:30,380
Nothing. I just find it interesting how
he keeps finding reasons to see you.

43
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,520
I mean, how it's always about a story,
though.

44
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Um, Novak, what happened with you and
Vasquez? You haven't said a word about

45
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,840
it. Oh, yeah, I decided not to bring it
up.

46
00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:43,460
You're not even the slightest bit
curious? I mean, I'm glad you told me

47
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:46,240
what he said, but... What does it mean
he tried?

48
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:49,980
I put myself out there at Herman's
Valrhona and he just let me sit there.

49
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,300
He had every opportunity to say
something, anything, but he didn't.

50
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,760
Anyway, we cleared the air and things
are finally not weird between us and I

51
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,780
would like it to stay that way.

52
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,680
Yeah. Besides, I'm kind of into karaoke
guy.

53
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Oh, go on.

54
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,420
Hey, Margaret McCombie. Who is that,
your aunt?

55
00:04:09,820 --> 00:04:11,280
No, that's my mom.

56
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:16,579
You keep... Her and your phone is
Margaret? Uh, yeah, we're not close. She

57
00:04:16,579 --> 00:04:17,579
lives in Boston.

58
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Hey,

59
00:04:19,820 --> 00:04:22,840
my new morning Qigong routine is really
paying off.

60
00:04:23,260 --> 00:04:26,260
I fit into my lean pants, not the
holiday ones.

61
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,639
Oh, hell.

62
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,600
What fundraiser did I forget about? It's
picture day, Herman.

63
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,040
Severide mentioned it in the last two
morning briefings and sent out a

64
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,040
reminder email.

65
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:38,040
Didn't we just get her photos taken?

66
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,040
Five years ago. New policy.

67
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,680
They want them every two years. It was
all in the email.

68
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:45,340
Well, they're going to have to use the
last one I took.

69
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,720
It's not optional, Herman. Department
requirement.

70
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,940
Which was also in the email.

71
00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:54,640
Whatever happened to just posting the
flyer on the corkboard in the hallway?

72
00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:58,700
Now I get 1,200 emails, half of them go
to spam, and that's supposed to be

73
00:04:58,700 --> 00:04:59,700
progress?

74
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,740
Squad 3, truck 81, engine 51, everyone
61, police assist, 755, Hudson Avenue,

75
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,800
stage...

76
00:05:26,730 --> 00:05:27,549
Hey, what do we got?

77
00:05:27,550 --> 00:05:31,830
A dull male barricaded inside with his
family, wife and two kids. We've been

78
00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:35,470
talking for about 45 minutes now. He's
armed, agitated, and making threats.

79
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:36,770
So what's the play?

80
00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:39,570
Well, we had a dialogue going, but he's
no longer responding.

81
00:05:40,410 --> 00:05:41,690
This might already be over.

82
00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:44,190
Just stay behind the perimeter for now.
Hey, hey, hey.

83
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,620
Walk in nice and easy.

84
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:07,320
Hey, stop there. Drop to your knees.

85
00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:08,960
Show us your hands.

86
00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:16,880
Alex, I need to see your hands.

87
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:50,870
We gotta move.

88
00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:53,610
One, two, three.

89
00:06:58,810 --> 00:07:00,590
Let's get him on oxygen and graphene.

90
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:06,030
Engine, you lead out. Squad, run a
primary search truck. Fed the roof, run

91
00:07:06,030 --> 00:07:07,890
a ladder to the second floor. Copy. You
got it.

92
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:14,710
All right, 81, give me a 38 on the B
side. We got two kids in there. Move.

93
00:07:15,010 --> 00:07:16,010
Copy that.

94
00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:18,840
I'm gonna put some oxygen on you, okay?
Try to stay calm.

95
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,010
On your six, okay?

96
00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:50,110
Copy.

97
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:54,390
Pressure's dropping.

98
00:07:54,810 --> 00:07:55,810
Stay with us, sir.

99
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:58,190
Give him a 300cc fluid bolus.

100
00:07:58,570 --> 00:07:59,570
Copy.

101
00:08:04,330 --> 00:08:05,330
Wait, wait, wait!

102
00:08:06,250 --> 00:08:07,970
Do you hear that? Yeah.

103
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:20,870
Copy.

104
00:08:21,490 --> 00:08:24,370
Kermit, Ballard, get to the roof. We got
multiple victims coming down.

105
00:08:24,590 --> 00:08:25,590
All right, copy that.

106
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:27,430
Hey, Burt, can you let me know what's
going on? Copy.

107
00:08:28,670 --> 00:08:29,670
Come on.

108
00:08:33,049 --> 00:08:34,049
Three,

109
00:08:34,970 --> 00:08:38,610
two, one. Move to the second floor.

110
00:08:39,150 --> 00:08:40,150
Copy that.

111
00:08:41,409 --> 00:08:42,409
He's radiating down.

112
00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:46,950
He can't feel a pulse. Start
compressions.

113
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,500
A few more steps, okay?

114
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:52,740
Nice and easy.

115
00:08:53,340 --> 00:08:54,340
Nice and easy.

116
00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:56,480
Watch your step.

117
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Hey,

118
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080
Bert, two more AMBOs just arrived. Will
you take them to get checked out? All

119
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,080
right, copy that.

120
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,780
Counted for. Wife and kids.

121
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:23,680
Copy. Multiple firebombs on two. Unable
to secure.

122
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,940
All companies evacuate.

123
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:27,480
Vasquez, what's your status?

124
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:28,659
Starting to vent.

125
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:29,920
Negative. Clear the loop.

126
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Novak, let's call it.

127
00:10:03,980 --> 00:10:05,120
There's nothing else we could have done.

128
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Hey, now grab a black ball.

129
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,400
I swear that worked too.

130
00:10:29,550 --> 00:10:30,670
Chief Tomlin's here.

131
00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:34,250
I saw him.

132
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:42,930
Cruz!

133
00:10:50,130 --> 00:10:51,130
What's up, Cap?

134
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:52,490
We heard you ditched the wheels.

135
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:55,330
Yeah. My legs finally got the memo.

136
00:10:55,650 --> 00:10:56,650
Yeah.

137
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:02,060
Caught a rough one, huh?

138
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,039
What's the latest?

139
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,720
Uh, Dr. Archer, he, uh, did tell me
about some specialized recovery centers

140
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,060
supposed to have a good reputation for
getting first responders back onto the

141
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:14,060
job.

142
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,560
Might take a few more months, but I'm
ready to put in the work.

143
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:20,240
Joe Cruz in the house!

144
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:24,240
Hey, are you teaching Zumba yet or what?

145
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:29,940
Come on, let's take it to my office. I
got a few things for you to sign. Yeah,

146
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,960
sounds good.

147
00:11:31,989 --> 00:11:33,450
I'll see you guys in a bit. Yeah.

148
00:11:34,290 --> 00:11:37,130
So he told me that the good news is you
always land on your feet.

149
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:42,190
Chief Tom.

150
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:44,670
I'll leave you to it.

151
00:11:46,570 --> 00:11:48,830
That was some call this morning.

152
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:51,310
Now, there's a chapter for your memoir.

153
00:11:51,630 --> 00:11:52,630
Could have gone a lot worse.

154
00:11:52,770 --> 00:11:54,530
Yeah, that's why I'm here.

155
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:57,850
Look, you're CFD's busiest squad.

156
00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:59,930
You're missing a limb.

157
00:12:00,590 --> 00:12:04,010
You haven't been running a man down for,
what, going on five months now? It's

158
00:12:04,010 --> 00:12:05,210
temporary. Oh.

159
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:08,410
You and I have different definitions of
temporary.

160
00:12:08,810 --> 00:12:10,410
All due respect, Chief, what is this
about?

161
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:15,630
Joe Cruz is a hero, plain and simple,
but the vacancy in Squad 3 needs to be

162
00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:17,430
resolved. This comes from high above.

163
00:12:17,830 --> 00:12:20,410
You have a week to recommend a suitable
replacement.

164
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:23,350
If you don't, headquarters will.

165
00:12:31,530 --> 00:12:34,230
They can't just push Cruz out. There's
got to be unit protection.

166
00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:37,070
It's actually more of a gray area than
you'd think.

167
00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:39,990
Well, he made it sound like headquarters
can do whatever the hell they want. If

168
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:42,290
they're convinced, he'll never return to
suppression.

169
00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:43,890
Well, that hasn't been determined.

170
00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:48,330
Another way is if Cruz voluntarily
accepts reassignment.

171
00:12:48,630 --> 00:12:49,630
Ouch.

172
00:12:50,590 --> 00:12:51,590
That's not going to happen.

173
00:12:53,330 --> 00:12:58,110
Squad positions don't come up very
often. Maybe Tomlin wants to move one of

174
00:12:58,110 --> 00:12:59,390
his guys into that slot.

175
00:12:59,590 --> 00:13:00,590
I don't know.

176
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,340
It feels like he's gunning for me.

177
00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:06,180
All right, let me make some calls.

178
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,220
Hit up some old friends from my union
days.

179
00:13:09,780 --> 00:13:11,860
Do whatever you gotta do, just do it
fast.

180
00:13:12,220 --> 00:13:13,220
I'm on it, Kev.

181
00:13:16,860 --> 00:13:17,860
Okay, next.

182
00:13:18,420 --> 00:13:19,860
I hate my smiling photos.

183
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,920
What's the hate?

184
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:23,680
You just always look so forced.

185
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Isn't it, though?

186
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,660
That's the whole point of having to say
cheese.

187
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,160
No, no, that is how you end up looking
like a serial killer.

188
00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:32,489
Wow.

189
00:13:32,490 --> 00:13:33,490
Next.

190
00:13:33,890 --> 00:13:36,810
I blame Tyra Banks for convincing an
entire generation that it's not enough

191
00:13:36,810 --> 00:13:38,430
to just smile. Now you have to smile
with your eyes.

192
00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:40,710
You have to what?

193
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:43,850
Smile? Huh?

194
00:13:44,170 --> 00:13:47,990
You have to think of something that
makes you smile and then let your eyes

195
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:49,410
do the rest. It's happy but effortless.

196
00:13:50,570 --> 00:13:55,130
I don't know what you're talking about,
but it's just a smile. I don't know

197
00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:56,130
what's so hard about that.

198
00:13:56,430 --> 00:13:57,430
Next.

199
00:13:58,130 --> 00:13:59,750
Can you go? Because I'm not ready.

200
00:14:01,770 --> 00:14:03,090
Hey, Frank.

201
00:14:08,190 --> 00:14:09,190
Next.

202
00:14:15,310 --> 00:14:20,350
Chief Tomlin, sorry to barge in
unannounced, but I had this lying around

203
00:14:20,350 --> 00:14:22,190
and heard you were a fan.

204
00:14:23,850 --> 00:14:26,050
Randall McCollin, Firehouse 51.

205
00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:28,190
Let me guess.

206
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,040
Joe Cruz. Yes, sir.

207
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,600
I spoke with Union Council about line of
duty medical leave, and they cited a

208
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,660
clause in our CBA. Article 18, Section
4.

209
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:41,160
I am familiar.

210
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:43,600
Did they point you to Section 36?

211
00:14:45,420 --> 00:14:51,440
I know a four-person squad is standard,
but Section 36 allows for... Four is

212
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,460
standard for a reason.

213
00:14:54,940 --> 00:14:56,120
Come on, Chief.

214
00:14:56,970 --> 00:14:59,750
There has to be a way for us to make
this work.

215
00:15:00,050 --> 00:15:02,450
I didn't think your captain was the type
to play ball.

216
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:04,610
Well, that's why I'm here.

217
00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:11,030
Give Cruz 90 more days before his
occupational health eval and Severide

218
00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:15,550
will personally come in, off-shift, and
train all five of your truck companies

219
00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:17,410
for technical rescue certification.

220
00:15:19,470 --> 00:15:20,770
I don't care about all that.

221
00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:24,850
But there is something that he can do.

222
00:15:27,079 --> 00:15:29,600
Okay, you want to know who I really want
to hear about?

223
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,700
Ryan Mercer.

224
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:33,540
Ryan Mercer, right.

225
00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:37,540
Valedictorian, class president. My arch
nemesis.

226
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,300
I heard he's currently in federal prison
for investment fraud.

227
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,600
Oh my God, seriously?

228
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,900
He must have made some new friends at
Stanford.

229
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,880
Hey, how come you didn't end up going
there?

230
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,180
You got in, right?

231
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,440
Always the investigative journalist,
huh?

232
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,060
You ever turn that off?

233
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:05,040
I'm really glad we reconnected.

234
00:16:06,140 --> 00:16:08,460
Most people from high school I'd be
happy to forget.

235
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,640
Yeah. But not everyone.

236
00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:16,540
All right, buddy.

237
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,620
This is going to be a tough one.

238
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,340
What word is that?

239
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:24,600
There. Boom.

240
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,960
Good job. All right, let's run it again.

241
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:31,080
I may ask Jody to pick up the kids from
school again tomorrow.

242
00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:36,700
Okay. Yesterday, I sat in traffic for 38
minutes to move maybe half a block.

243
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,400
That's brutal.

244
00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:44,420
I just don't have time to be sitting in
traffic that long, not with so many

245
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:46,340
other errands and all my Zoom meetings.

246
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,260
Hey, buddy, why don't you go get ready
to take a bath, huh?

247
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,680
I thought we talked about this. I need
help, Joe.

248
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,980
Look, I know, I know how hard you've
been working on your rehab, but when the

249
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:14,060
twins arrive... Mm-hmm, we will figure
it out the way we always have. I don't

250
00:17:14,060 --> 00:17:15,060
want to do this alone.

251
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:16,960
Who's asking you to?

252
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,220
Once you're back at work.

253
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,520
Oh, come on, Chloe, we keep having...
Ouch.

254
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Huh?

255
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,040
What's wrong?

256
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:28,260
Braxton Hicks?

257
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:35,020
Okay, okay. All right, we are not due
for four weeks.

258
00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:36,540
Ooh.

259
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:38,460
Oh, okay.

260
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,540
Okay. Uh, all right. Um, okay, boys, uh,
this is not a drill.

261
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,460
Javi, grab the gold bag. Otis, forget
the bath. Okay, honey. Breathe, breathe.

262
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,520
There you go.

263
00:17:55,860 --> 00:17:56,940
Is mom okay?

264
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:00,100
Come with me.

265
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:15,420
Come and meet your new baby sisters.

266
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,720
They're so tiny.

267
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,980
Which one's which?

268
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,740
This is Sophia and this is Elena.

269
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:32,880
Come here. Let me take one of those off
of your hands.

270
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:35,080
Sir. Oh.

271
00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:37,640
I just need to sit.

272
00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:39,440
Yeah, you've been on your feet all day.

273
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,800
I'm fine.

274
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,480
You're the one that just gave birth.

275
00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:45,190
It's cool dad, I can help.

276
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:54,290
You're a big bro.

277
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:08,330
Chloe said she had to have twins

278
00:19:08,330 --> 00:19:09,330
to even the score.

279
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:14,390
Poor Joe. He doesn't stand a chance.
Those two little girls are going to have

280
00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:16,530
him wrapped around those little fingers.

281
00:19:17,910 --> 00:19:20,770
Check it out. We got him tiny socks
hats.

282
00:19:21,010 --> 00:19:23,730
Isn't Joe a Cubs fan? Yeah, he was
furious.

283
00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:26,950
Hey,

284
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:34,790
so rotation's almost over.

285
00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:36,190
How are you feeling?

286
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:38,890
I'm feeling great, Lieutenant.

287
00:19:39,550 --> 00:19:40,550
Ready to get out there.

288
00:19:41,650 --> 00:19:48,270
Well, if there's anything that you want
to talk through or any questions,

289
00:19:48,670 --> 00:19:50,290
now's the time for that.

290
00:19:52,790 --> 00:19:53,970
Thanks, Lieutenant.

291
00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:56,430
All right.

292
00:19:57,610 --> 00:19:58,610
Carry on.

293
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:04,990
Heard I just missed you at the hospital
yesterday.

294
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,660
Hard to believe Cruz has four kids.
Yeah, I think he's going after Herman's

295
00:20:09,660 --> 00:20:10,660
record.

296
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:15,800
I also went down to headquarters, was
able to steal a few minutes with Chief

297
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,800
Tomlin.

298
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,120
He's willing to give Cruz 90 more days.

299
00:20:22,020 --> 00:20:23,020
What did he want?

300
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,620
For you to rescind your letter to the
D.C. and have McCaffrey reinstated.

301
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:34,360
What? I know it's not ideal, but... No.
No way. Not a chance.

302
00:20:35,889 --> 00:20:37,710
He's willing to use Cruz as a bargaining
chip.

303
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:44,770
I don't see another way And if we don't
make the deal Tomlin already has someone

304
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:48,950
in mind for the spot I'm not putting
McCaffrey back in the field

305
00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:54,850
Maybe you don't have to

306
00:21:11,489 --> 00:21:12,489
Damn, Hollis.

307
00:21:12,690 --> 00:21:14,050
How hungover are you?

308
00:21:14,510 --> 00:21:16,430
Nah, just not sleeping.

309
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:23,690
That guy burning alive.

310
00:21:24,770 --> 00:21:26,130
I guess we'll get used to it, huh?

311
00:21:28,790 --> 00:21:30,350
It's what we signed up for, man.

312
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:32,530
Doesn't mean we'll ever get used to it.

313
00:21:37,470 --> 00:21:38,910
My first rotation...

314
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,840
We had a rollover on the Eisenhower.

315
00:21:44,260 --> 00:21:51,000
The guy was slumped over the steering
wheel, head split wide open, brain

316
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000
spilling out.

317
00:21:54,140 --> 00:21:59,080
Kendrick Lamar was, it was, he was
playing on the radio.

318
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:04,360
Until this day, I still can't hear that
song without going right back.

319
00:22:08,780 --> 00:22:09,800
The Weeks.

320
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,660
Every time I closed my eyes, that's what
I saw.

321
00:22:15,860 --> 00:22:21,700
And eventually, one of the old timers
just, he pulled me aside and he told me

322
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,140
I gotta find a way to get out of my
head.

323
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,460
He told me to put a washcloth over my
face, put on a white noise machine.

324
00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:36,980
It worked for me.

325
00:22:43,980 --> 00:22:45,900
Guess who got the proofs for our photo
session?

326
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,200
What? What?

327
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,440
Ow. Well, it turns out that cranky old
photographer is open to bribes, so for

328
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,200
50 bucks, he sent us a link.

329
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:56,400
You got taken. We don't get to choose.

330
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,180
Roman, he's the one who decides.

331
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:01,740
Plus, after my last photo fiasco, I am
not leaving it to chance. Okay, let's

332
00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:02,740
see what we got.

333
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:03,999
She's good.

334
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,260
Hey, it's me.

335
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,960
Remarkably consistent.

336
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,240
Well, I messed with the perfection.

337
00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:12,280
Tony, lots of good options.

338
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,520
That's not terrible. These are all
perfect.

339
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,980
What were you so worried about?

340
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:20,020
Yeah, I mean, I'm not mad.

341
00:23:20,780 --> 00:23:24,100
Thanks, Herman. I took your advice, kept
it simple, and just smiled.

342
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:27,400
All right. What about me? How'd mine
turn out?

343
00:23:30,180 --> 00:23:32,160
Oh, that is not the one.

344
00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:33,820
Keep going.

345
00:23:37,340 --> 00:23:38,340
Oh.

346
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,960
Huh. Ew.

347
00:23:42,860 --> 00:23:47,440
You must have got in my head telling me
to smizz smize, whatever you call it.

348
00:23:47,780 --> 00:23:52,340
It completely threw me off. All right?
Now, not one of those is frame-worthy.

349
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,500
Truck 81, Ambulance 61.

350
00:23:54,780 --> 00:23:55,780
Water rescue.

351
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,580
Riverwalk access at State Street.

352
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,600
Over here. This guy, I think.

353
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,420
And these guys jumped in after him.

354
00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:10,900
All right.

355
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,340
Everybody move out of the way. We got
him. All right, let's get him out.

356
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,200
All right, on it.

357
00:24:16,820 --> 00:24:17,880
How long was he under?

358
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,179
I don't know.

359
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:20,180
A while.

360
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:21,760
Ready. Grab a strap. Yeah.

361
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Good job.

362
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:28,680
Grab his head. Grab his head. Got it.

363
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,140
Have we got no pulse?

364
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,940
All right, start compressions.

365
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,100
All right, guys, the medics are here.
Okay.

366
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,320
You get pads on him, I'll bag him. Yep.

367
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:47,960
Okay.

368
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,480
Yep.

369
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,960
Okay. Check rhythm.

370
00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:06,860
Hey, systole.

371
00:25:07,660 --> 00:25:08,660
We're doing compressions.

372
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,840
Come on, kid.

373
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,080
Okay, Ivy's in. Go, Sheffy.

374
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:22,040
Come on.

375
00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:23,340
Come on.

376
00:25:25,780 --> 00:25:27,540
Okay, uh, let's intubate. Okay.

377
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,640
Okay, ready?

378
00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:38,340
There we go.

379
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,440
Get him on his side.

380
00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:48,540
We've got Ross.

381
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,960
Great.

382
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,439
All right.

383
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,640
There you go. All right.

384
00:25:56,060 --> 00:25:57,980
Hey, Jansen, Burke, grab a stair chair.

385
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,200
Got it.

386
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,560
Sorry to interrupt.

387
00:26:13,980 --> 00:26:15,280
I just want to say congratulations.

388
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:16,579
Thank you.

389
00:26:16,580 --> 00:26:18,940
And you, welcome to the Girl Dad Club.

390
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:20,300
Thanks, Doc.

391
00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:21,420
Good.

392
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:25,340
So I ran into your physical therapist
this morning. Seems you've made such

393
00:26:25,340 --> 00:26:28,860
remarkable progress in the last few
weeks. She said that if you keep it up,

394
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,360
you'll be back on squad before you know
it.

395
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,400
I'll keep pushing.

396
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Come on guys, this is great news.

397
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:55,100
Javi, puppy.

398
00:26:57,380 --> 00:27:00,320
Why can't somebody else's dad do it?

399
00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:06,780
Yeah!

400
00:27:11,310 --> 00:27:14,770
Yeah, sounds like it could be a really
good fit. Let me confirm with both

401
00:27:14,770 --> 00:27:16,370
parties, and I will get right back to
you.

402
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:17,590
All right, thanks.

403
00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:21,870
What happened?

404
00:27:21,930 --> 00:27:22,930
Another rough call?

405
00:27:23,650 --> 00:27:28,150
No, no, no, no. We saved the guy. He's
going to be fine. It's just this photo.

406
00:27:28,290 --> 00:27:29,590
I don't think I can resurrect it.

407
00:27:29,810 --> 00:27:32,690
I sent it to Annabelle, the least awful
one.

408
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:37,270
She ran it through some AI thingy, but I
don't know.

409
00:27:38,830 --> 00:27:41,510
It's like someone took a photo of your
wax figure.

410
00:27:41,810 --> 00:27:46,970
What? She fixed my smile, but I can't
use this.

411
00:27:48,050 --> 00:27:50,270
Yeah, it's a little heavy on the
artificial.

412
00:27:50,910 --> 00:27:55,690
Now, Frank said that he could do a
reshoot for a hundred bucks, but that's

413
00:27:55,690 --> 00:27:58,850
highway robbery. Herman, it's just a
personnel photo.

414
00:27:59,130 --> 00:28:03,930
Not for me. This could be my last photo
in uniform, the one they use at my

415
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:06,930
retirement party, and the last one that,
you know...

416
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:09,460
Cindy gets to frame.

417
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:13,800
Well, when you put it that way, a
hundred bucks sounds like a bargain.

418
00:28:20,980 --> 00:28:22,220
All right, listen up.

419
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,820
We've had a couple rough ones.

420
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:30,780
And we don't talk about this as much as
we should.

421
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,800
But these things, they stay with you,
whether you like it or not.

422
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,280
And we all have to figure out a way to
get through it.

423
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:42,440
So me, I go for a jog.

424
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,720
I run until I am too tired to think.

425
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,960
Sometimes it works.

426
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:50,760
Sometimes it doesn't.

427
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,080
You can always talk to the chaplain or
each other.

428
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,400
Mm-hmm.

429
00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:00,280
Yeah, I mean, me, I hit up the shooting
range.

430
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800
It just gives me something else to focus
on.

431
00:29:07,210 --> 00:29:09,910
You just have to figure out whatever
works best for you.

432
00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:18,910
Before we begin, I'd just like to say I
think there's a way we all walk away

433
00:29:18,910 --> 00:29:24,410
happy. And maybe not completely happy,
but that's the nature of compromise. You

434
00:29:24,410 --> 00:29:27,590
know it's good when everyone leaves a
little disappointed.

435
00:29:28,070 --> 00:29:29,670
McCollum, quit shuffling and deal.

436
00:29:30,170 --> 00:29:31,170
Right.

437
00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:32,890
Okay.

438
00:29:34,540 --> 00:29:37,200
I called an old friend of mine in
equipment and supply.

439
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:42,060
Turns out they have an opening on the
front desk. So if McCaffrey still wants

440
00:29:42,060 --> 00:29:43,580
to search this... Equipment and supply?

441
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:47,760
Tell me you're joking. Get them back on
the payroll with a chance to earn his

442
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,440
way back into the field. That wasn't the
deal. It's the only way I'll do it.

443
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,520
Well, then this has been a giant waste
of my time.

444
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:55,940
Gentlemen, please.

445
00:29:56,140 --> 00:29:57,140
Chief.

446
00:29:57,580 --> 00:30:03,420
With all due respect, it's not forever,
but it's a way back in for the kid.

447
00:30:03,870 --> 00:30:05,750
And we're not asking for much.

448
00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:10,810
Just 90 more days for crews to get
cleared by occupational health. And if

449
00:30:10,810 --> 00:30:12,790
he is not ready by then, he'll be ready.

450
00:30:21,950 --> 00:30:22,950
You're her mom again?

451
00:30:23,210 --> 00:30:27,670
Yep. Wow, that's her third call today.
She's really committed to the whole not

452
00:30:27,670 --> 00:30:28,930
leaving a voicemail thing.

453
00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:30,590
Yeah, she knows I won't listen.

454
00:30:35,530 --> 00:30:37,110
You know you can talk to me, right?

455
00:30:39,610 --> 00:30:40,610
Yeah.

456
00:30:41,730 --> 00:30:45,810
I think it feels wrong complaining about
my mom to you.

457
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:50,450
Well, you don't have to worry about
that.

458
00:30:52,130 --> 00:30:56,370
Trust me. If my mom were still here,

459
00:30:56,550 --> 00:31:00,090
I would be complaining.

460
00:31:02,330 --> 00:31:04,910
She always knew exactly how to get under
my skin.

461
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:11,780
Honestly, I don't even know what she
wants.

462
00:31:14,260 --> 00:31:17,140
Well, maybe it's worth finding out.

463
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,920
For a hundred bucks, I better look like
I'm on the cover of GQ.

464
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:33,680
Not a miracle worker.

465
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:37,560
Well, I'm not getting up until we get
this right.

466
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,700
I may have created a monster.

467
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,120
I also may have flooded karaoke guys'
phone with my headshots and asked him to

468
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:54,899
pick a favorite.

469
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:55,980
You need his opinion?

470
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,200
No. I just need him to see how amazing I
look in uniform.

471
00:32:01,420 --> 00:32:02,420
Jealous.

472
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,260
I don't think I didn't notice you
finally fixed this. Well, somebody had

473
00:32:18,260 --> 00:32:19,260
to.

474
00:32:20,020 --> 00:32:21,900
Hey, you talked to Match? Yeah, yeah,
yeah.

475
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:24,540
He filled me in on your deal with Chief
Tomlin.

476
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,060
If you don't think 90 days is enough...
Oh, no, no, it's not.

477
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Dr.

478
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,240
Archer, he pulled some strings. He got
me into that program I told you about,

479
00:32:36,340 --> 00:32:39,560
so it should speed up my recovery some.

480
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,960
That's great news, isn't it?

481
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,160
Yeah.

482
00:32:55,530 --> 00:32:56,530
I'm not coming back.

483
00:33:05,390 --> 00:33:07,830
Look, I know these last few months have
been a rough go.

484
00:33:09,010 --> 00:33:10,010
It's more than that.

485
00:33:10,690 --> 00:33:15,190
Just, you don't... Cruz, you don't have
to decide right now, all right? Just...

486
00:33:15,190 --> 00:33:16,650
Trust me, brother.

487
00:33:17,690 --> 00:33:19,750
This is the hardest decision I've ever
had to make.

488
00:33:21,910 --> 00:33:23,870
And I know you fought for me, and...

489
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,800
Man, I'll never forget it.

490
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:29,760
I just... This house.

491
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,600
The job.

492
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,160
This family.

493
00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:38,440
It lives in me.

494
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,880
You know, when I got my head back in it
and I finally

495
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,720
started to hit the PT hard, I had one
goal.

496
00:33:54,440 --> 00:34:00,500
Get back on that squad And

497
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:07,300
then the twins came and it changed
everything

498
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:14,280
This

499
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:20,620
uh this rehab center, it's uh, it's
close to Chloe's parents in Minneapolis

500
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,060
And they're dying to help with the
babies.

501
00:34:25,139 --> 00:34:29,360
Chloe can work remotely, so... That's
where we're headed.

502
00:34:30,139 --> 00:34:32,460
So I can be there for my family.

503
00:34:39,580 --> 00:34:43,679
We've been riding beside each other for
12 years.

504
00:34:50,989 --> 00:34:52,050
I need you beside me.

505
00:34:54,810 --> 00:34:55,810
They need me more.

506
00:35:00,010 --> 00:35:02,730
Besides, you taught me everything I
know.

507
00:35:05,410 --> 00:35:06,530
You'll teach the new guy, too.

508
00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:17,210
So that's it?

509
00:35:18,370 --> 00:35:19,970
There was no talking him out of it?

510
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,300
His mind's made up.

511
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,200
Wow.

512
00:35:29,940 --> 00:35:32,520
How do you replace Joe Cruz?

513
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,200
51 won't be the same without you, Joe.

514
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:47,060
How did Shepard take the news?

515
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,360
Oh.

516
00:35:49,340 --> 00:35:52,160
Not great. He just needs time to
process.

517
00:35:52,540 --> 00:35:53,540
We all do.

518
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,100
Are you taking your French press with
you, or...? I'll miss you too, Cap.

519
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:00,240
But he's not even cold.

520
00:36:00,580 --> 00:36:03,280
What? He's the one who made me a coffee,
snob. It's all yours.

521
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,740
Oh, my God. And he takes it.

522
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,240
That one's getting framed.

523
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:19,960
Don't go anywhere.

524
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:29,300
You know you don't have to do extra
credit trying to impress me.

525
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,720
It helps me know where everything is.

526
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,440
Well, I just checked in with Hollis.

527
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:37,320
Found out you beat me to it.

528
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,620
Do you know why a cold washcloth works?

529
00:36:41,820 --> 00:36:43,400
It activates the dive reflex.

530
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,640
I saw you last shift, shielding those
kids from seeing their father's body.

531
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:59,240
He just knew exactly what they needed.

532
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:02,640
I figured they'd seen enough.

533
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:08,180
They don't teach that at the academy.

534
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,000
I think that you knew exactly what those
kids needed.

535
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,840
Because somewhere along the line, you
learn what happens when nobody cares.

536
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:32,500
Whatever happened before you joined the
CFD, before you got here at 51, I can

537
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:35,480
tell it taught you how to survive.

538
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:43,100
You just got to learn you don't have to
do it all alone.

539
00:37:48,430 --> 00:37:53,450
You know, I remember when I first joined
Squad, I thought you were gonna kill me.

540
00:37:58,630 --> 00:38:01,670
Hope you don't mind.

541
00:38:03,590 --> 00:38:08,490
It was Herman's idea, and for once, I
actually agree with the guy.

542
00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:16,050
I promise, when we're done, I'll put it
back where it belongs.

543
00:38:24,190 --> 00:38:29,610
So, uh, Cap said he promises he's gonna
keep you looking sharp.

544
00:38:31,670 --> 00:38:32,770
So Tony's on it.

545
00:38:43,070 --> 00:38:44,370
I'll be with you always, brother.

546
00:38:50,190 --> 00:38:51,330
Congratulations, Joe.

547
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:11,020
Come on, we can save these for later.

548
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,760
I think they're ready for us.

549
00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:19,380
Come

550
00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:27,040
on

551
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,040
and get in the middle, Joe.

552
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:31,260
All right, everybody here?

553
00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:45,840
folks here we go looking good let's do
this
