Ever since he
filled in for Mouch,

I knew Truck is where
Ritter wanted to be.

If you'll have me.

Herrmann!

What are you going
to do about Engine?

I got an idea for that, too.

Friends?

I know you're still
carrying a torch for Sam,

but texting him sweet
nothings at midnight?

I am not cool with that.

I know it's hard for a tough
guy like you to admit it,

but I think you need me.

And I need you.

I gotta shower and
get out of here quick.

I'll whip you up an espresso.

Mm.

Ugh, I feel like my
head's gonna explode.

How am I gonna get
through this shift?

You just need something
to look forward to.

Sleep.

We can sleep when we're dead.

I got something better.

Is that right?

Mm-hmm.

How about a little
Texas in Chicago?

I got us tickets to
see Tripp at the Vic.

They got back together?

Mm-hmm.

We can have some beers,

sing our hearts out, forget
about the rest of the world.

Mm-hmm.

What do you think?

I like it.

Took 45 minutes to
get all dressed up,

and we didn't even
make it out the door.

We were still going
to be early anyway.

Yeah, Pascal likes it when
his lieutenants are early.

I just talked myself
out of leaving.

Mm.

Good morning.

Oh, looks like I
took the last of it.

Hey, uh, what are you
doing after shift?

Uh, it's Violet's birthday,

and we're all going to
Molly's to celebrate.

Just didn't know if you'd heard.

- Uh...
- No, no pressure.

But, uh, it'll be fun.

Well, thanks for the invite.
I'll check with my wife.

That's twice now I've seen
you alone with Pascal.

- Yeah? So?
- So I'm jealous.

It feels like
everyone around here

has gotten face time with
the new boss, except me.

Every time I try,
it gets interrupted.

He knows what a good
firefighter you are.

It's not about that.

I just like to, you know, have
a little rapport with the guy.

A rapport?

I'm making it happen today.

Yeah, and I got the
perfect icebreaker, too.

Are you ready?
- Yep.

We're both grasshoppers.

- Excuse me?
- Well, that was our mascot.

It turns out Pascal and I went
to the same elementary school.

It's perfect, right?

OK, Ritter, um, I
say this with love...

it's terrible.
- It...

Carmen, your new recruit's here.

- Hey!
- Hey.

- Hey, whoo.
- Kylie.

- There she is.
- Happy to be here, as always.

All right. Well,
I would get up,

but Cindy made me play
pickleball this weekend

and I pulled every
muscle in my body.

How does this work,
actually? Who's going where?

Ritter's going to Truck.
Kylie's subbing on the Engine.

Not that complicated.
- Nope.

All units,
multi-vehicle accident.

East Broad Street and Trade.
- Go without me.

Help, please.

The other driver, he needs help.

- Is he still in the cab?
- Not the truck.

Hurry.

I don't know what happened.

I... I guess I didn't
see the brake lights.

- Squad, extricate the driver.
- Copy that.

Squad, cutters, jaws now.

Engine, run a hose
line. Get one ready.

Truck, I want you standing
by with extinguishers

and a stretcher.
- Copy that.

You heard the man. Let's move.

- On it.
- Hey, ma'am.

Ma'am, we need you
back behind the trucks.

I... I promised
I'd stay with him.

You gotta let us
work, all right?

This is Violet. She'll
take care of you.

OK, let's take a look at that
cut above your eye, ma'am.

Right here.

All right, we're
gonna get you out.

Stay still.

All right, let's clean this up.

Chief, it's raining
gas in there.

Fuel tank must have ruptured
and landed on top of him.

- Can you pull him free?
- Uh, it's pretty tight.

Chief, we got a flare-up.

Run another hose
line. Ready? Let's go.

Put out that engine
fire. Let's stay ready.

Copy that. I'll get
the engine at half.

Copy.

OK, one spark hits this gas,
and this guy gets incinerated.

Copy that, Chief.

Hey, Cruz, I can slip
through the passenger side.

- Are you sure?
- Just cover me.

Yeah, copy that.

Come on!

- Can you move your legs?
- I think so.

Flare-up!

We're clear, Lieutenant.

All right, we gotta
move! Coming out!

Backward. Let's go.

Easy.

All right, look, I got you.

Ready? One, two, three.
- Yep.

All right, Engine, hit it!

Knock that down and
overhaul the scene, people!

Damn it!

Hey, buddy. You
need to get back.

That's my trailer.

I said, get back!

Look, I'm on the clock here.

Sir!

We need you to clear the area.

I got a new cab coming
to finish that haul.

Not until we're done here.

Till then, you can
stand by your truck.

Come on, let's go.

I'll send Richie to
pick up the trailer.

Come on, let's go!

That logo, that look
familiar to you?

It does.

- Violet...
- Hmm?

Do you like fish?

To eat?

No, as a pet.

For your birthday gift.

All I want is a promise

that you won't sing "Happy
Birthday" at the bar.

And that goes
for everyone. OK?

Thank you.

I, uh, wanted to mention

I'm not going to
be able to make it.

Sorry. Got some
stuff I gotta do.

It's all good. I have
a birthday every year.

You can catch the next one.

Sorry. Thank you very much.

Now he's using his
pickleball pain

as an excuse to
sit at our table?

Son of a bitch.

You trying to hear the ocean?

What? There is water in
the damn housing again.

Aren't the radios was
supposed to be waterproof?

Oh, don't get him started.

Hey, it's not funny, all right?

These things are so damn old,

they're practically prehistoric.

So take it to Facilities.

Oh, yeah.

And why don't I just go
wish on a shooting star

and get the same results?
- Yeah, yeah.

They're pretty stingy when it
comes to replacing equipment.

Yeah, and it's a bunch of crap.

All right?

You know, why do we
keep on ending up with

all of Squad's hand-me-downs?

Why are you yelling at me?
I don't make the rules.

You're right.

I'm going down to Facilities,

and I am gonna demand
some new radios.

Yes, you do that. You
get those new radios.

- I will.
- Yeah.

He ain't getting those radios.
- No.

Hey.

There's a reason we
recognize that logo.

Hmm.

So that is an MVA we
responded to six months ago.

Semi flipped,
landed on a minivan.

Look at the truck.

J.R. Maddox Trucking.

Mm-hmm.

And then there's this.

Two months ago, truck ran
a red, T-boned a sedan.

Oh, I remember this.

OFI investigated.

Engine fire went through
the vents, lit up the cab.

Trucker died.

That's a crazy amount of
accidents for one company.

These trucks, they're
on our streets,

in our neighborhoods, right now.

Each one of them is
a rolling death trap.

For a trucking company
the size of Maddox,

one accident per
year would be a lot.

And they've had three
in the past six months.

- Any idea why?
- It could be bad training,

labor violations, faulty trucks.

But someone's
gotta know to look.

And I'm not sure anyone realizes

that these accidents
are connected.

Take it to the Department
of Transportation.

They can move the
needle on this.

Copy.

Thank you.

Got a sec?

Well, the CFD Facilities
Committee just got here.

Oh.

Well, I'll come back later then.

No, this'll be pretty
quick. Just hang tight.

Great.

Oh.

Oh.

What?

What are you doing?

Oh, my God. Oh, my
God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. You
decapitated it.

Oh, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no.
This is not good.

OK, here, give...
give it to me.

Now...

There. Problem solved.

No, we can't leave it like that.

- "We"?
- Yes, we.

I wouldn't have dropped it
if you hadn't yelled at me.

Why were you holding
it in the first place?

I was admiring it.

Admire with your eyes
like a normal person.

Ritter, this is taking
longer than I thought.

Can we, um... can we meet later?

No problem.

OK.

Tomorrow, we will come
in early for shift

and glue it back together.

Then we will never
speak of this again.

Deal.

So I hear that Herrmann is
making you a special cocktail

for your birthday.
- Oh.

And I'm going to make it even
more special by wearing a tux.

Fancy.

Yeah, Trudy made me rent one
for her cousin's wedding,

and I have two
more days with it.

Best birthday ever.
I can feel it.

Hi.

Look what I found
in the glove box.

It's got all the
live bootlegs on it.

We can listen on the way.

What's going on?

Uh, I got assigned O.T.

I just found out, or
I would have called.

- Are you serious?
- Mm-hmm.

- You can't get out of it?
- I can't.

But you should still go.

Seriously. Take
someone from work.

That won't bother you?

One of us should be having fun.

OK, I'll send you
lots of videos.

Good.

And, uh, I'm sorry.

You the CFD guys?

Yes. Hi.

Uh, Lieutenant Kidd. This
is Lieutenant Severide.

You should have
told me on the phone

this was about Maddox Trucking.

I would have saved you the trip.

You... did you take a
look at what we emailed?

I did.

Look, there's nothing
we can do here.

It's three accidents
in the last six months.

You don't think that's
worth investigating?

We did investigate
after their last MVA.

We checked qualifications,
driver logs, inspections.

Everything came back clean.

And that's not a
red flag to you?

Can't shut someone down for
following all the rules.

Sorry.

She was helpful.

We're talking to
the wrong people.

We need somebody on the
inside of the company.

The trouble is finding
someone willing to talk.

Maybe we already have.

All right, here's to
our birthday girl.

I present the "Violet."

Mmm. What's in it?

Ah, vodka and tonic.

I think I'm just too
sore to be creative.

Sorry. Drink up.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Happy birthday.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

So, October birthday...
what is that?

Libra?

- Scorpio.
- Hmm.

And now you make sense to me.

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey!

Happy birthday.

Thank you so much.

And how did it go with the DOT?

About as well as
you would expect.

Bureaucrats!

They're all useless.

He's trying to
convince Facilities

to fork up new radios.

Oh, I see.

Need another one?
- Hey.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

I thought you said
you couldn't make it.

Some stuff got shifted around,

so I thought I'd pop by.
- Oh.

No Tori?

No. She has to work.

Nice tiara.

Thank you. Thank you.

So, hey.

Mm, what's this?

It's our manifesto.

It's every reason we
deserve a radio upgrade.

All right, what do you think?

OK, poor battery, bad
signal, unreliable.

Don't always work.

The last two are the same.

Aside from that, I
think it's pretty good.

Oh, no, no, no.

That's for you to
keep, all right?

Come on. I want
you to memorize it.

We are going to go to
Facilities next shift,

and we are not going to
take no for an answer.

- Copy that.
- It's all good.

Hey, uh, I think I know
what just happened there.

Herrmann recruited you for
one of his righteous crusades.

Seems like it.

OK, as someone who's worked
with Herrmann a long time,

let me give you a little advice.

Just draw a line in the sand.

Otherwise, one day, you
might end up with him

smelling strange men
to find a cologne

that rubbed off on
him during a call.

That's so specific,
it has to be real.

Like I said, draw a line.

Are you waiting for someone?
You keep looking at the door.

No, I'm not.

OK, I invited Pascal,

so, uh, I'm just keeping
an eye out for him.

OK.

Hmm.

Oh, hey, I thought
Tori couldn't make it.

Tori, wait.

Tori, come on!

Hold up. Tori, stop.

Is that what counts
as overtime now?

You know, I showed up to the
firehouse with food for you,

and some stranger had to tell
me that my boyfriend lied.

Look, it was a work
thing I couldn't miss.

What work thing happens
at Molly's, Sam?

Every work thing, actually.

It's a birthday
party for Violet.

I guess she got exactly
what she wanted.

You know she's messing
with your head, right?

You know that. She's
manipulating you.

That is not true.

It's not?

Then how'd you end up here?

Can I help you?

I'm Stella, and I
am looking for Lisa.

Is she home?

Uh, Mom, someone's here for you.

Are you one of the
firefighters that helped her?

I am. Yeah.

It's, uh... just
here to check on her.

Hi.

Hi.

Michael, go pack your bag.

And don't forget
your toothbrush.

Dad's not gonna have extra.

Nice to meet you.

You, too.

You know how the driver's doing?

Hospital wouldn't tell me.

Yeah, he's going to be OK.

But you were lucky,

because other drivers
at Maddox weren't.

Why does this keep happening?

I can't help you.

Because you don't know
or because you won't say?

Because I have bills to
pay and a son to raise.

And the only help I
get from his father

is a place for Michael to
sleep when I'm on a haul,

which I'm now late for.

Hey, Lisa.

One of the drivers died.

I don't want that to happen
to you or anybody else.

I'm sorry. I can't
save the world.

I can barely take
care of my son.

Lisa, hey.

Listen, here is my number.

If you change your mind,

I will do everything
I can to help you.

Come on, Michael.

Let's go.

She's a ghost.

Here.

And I wasn't sure what
the kid meant by "ghost."

I thought it was just about
how his mom is barely around.

Then I did some digging.

And?

There is something
called ghost drivers.

It's a pretty common practice

with sketchy trucking companies.

This is how Maddox skirts
driving regulations?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, if you look
at the driving logs,

it looks like two different
drivers doing two shifts.

But in reality, one
driver does both shifts.

The other driver doesn't exist.

It's a ghost.

And Lisa won't come forward?

She's scared of losing her job.

Maybe we could help
her find another.

If Lisa is involved in this,

the first thing the
DOT is going to do

is revoke her
commercial license.

That's the only way that
she can make a living.

Yeah.

So, then, where
does that leave us?

I don't know.

It's the 21st district.

Hello?

Sh...

We can't fix the statue.

What? Why not?

It's too late.
Pascal moved it.

He knows it's broken.

Maybe he's trying to
taunt the culprit.

Taunt the culprit?

Pascal is smart.

Maybe he's trying
to send a message

that he knows what
the person did.

And the longer that they
wait to come forward,

the worse the
punishment will be.

I don't know.

But maybe I should
confess, just in case.

OK, wait.

Let me take the fall for you.

No.

I can't let you do that.

Yeah, you can.

None of this would have happened

if I hadn't scared you.

And like you said,

at least I've had the chance
to talk to him a little.

- I don't know.
- Well, I do.

Just promise me that
when you finally get

your face time with
Pascal, you won't waste it.

They seem to be working fine.

We just told you,
they're not broken.

They're ancient.

Do we have to read
you the note again?

I can't just invent
money to use.

Your firehouse has to
have the budget for it.

I'm sorry.

You know, I used to
help with the budget

when I worked for Boden.

Maybe there's money there?
- You know what?

That's a really nice thought.

But if there were thousands
of bucks just laying around,

somebody would have
taken them by now.

We're done.

Hey.

Everything OK?

Tori didn't seem too
happy last night.

It's complicated.

Yeah, well, uh,
I might know why.

I think Tori might still be
mad about a text that I sent.

You sent Tori a text?

No, I sent you a
text, and Tori saw it.

I don't remember
getting a text from you.

Ambo 61, person down.

124 East Highgrove Street.

Hey, look, all I'm
trying to say is,

I don't blame Tori
for being pissed.

OK. Thank you.

There we go.

Hey. Guys, this way.

Do you know what happened?

Maybe 10 minutes ago, I'm
walking back from lunch,

and I see a guy on a bike ram
right into this food cart.

Vendor starts yelling
at him about it.

And all of a sudden, the
biker starts attacking him.

So by the time I got
there, the biker was gone,

and I found the
vendor like this.

I'm Violet. I'm
here to help you.

Lift your head.
What's your name?

- Ali.
- Ali?

- Yeah.
- Hang in there, OK?

Get an IV access point and push
2 grams of tranexamic acid.

I'll stabilize the skewer.

Saw he's bleeding from
his leg pretty bad.

So I used my shirt to
try and tie it off.

I know the carotid artery's
around there somewhere.

Yeah. Yeah, that was
a pretty smart move.

Almost there, Ali.

Almost there.

All right. Let's get
him on the stretcher.

You're doing good, Ali.

Here, let me... let me help.

- Thank you.
- Let's lift him up.

Ready? 3, 2, 1, lift.

All right.

You slice an artery, you
can bleed out real quick.

He's lucky you were here.

I wasn't exactly sure
what the right move was,

but no one else
stepped in, so...

It's crazy how many people
just walk past, you know?

Well, you didn't.

And you probably saved his life.

All right, we're gonna take you
to the hospital now, Ali, OK?

Here we go.

Lift a little. Ready, lift.

Thank you. Thank you.

Of course.

You're gonna be all right.

We're going to debrief later
about how hot he was, right?

So I saw you talking
to Carver earlier.

Oh, no catheters.

Look, if you don't
wanna talk about it...

I told Carver about
that text that I sent.

I thought maybe it would
help things with Tori,

but I think I just
made it worse.

Are you sure that's
not what you wanted?

Not judging.

Just asking.

I'm not trying to
cause problems.

Seriously, I... yeah,
I wouldn't do that.

But Carver and I made a pact

to tell each other the truth,

and it didn't feel right
not saying something.

I get that.

But from what I've found,

sometimes it's
better not to know.

That's when the
truth gets tricky.

Yeah.

Hey, Trudy.

Oh.

Thank you for calling.

Yeah, I figured
you'd want to know.

Just one second.
- Mm-hmm.

You know what that is?

No. Should I?

Uh, we got a call
from a landlord saying

someone had broken into one
of his empty apartments.

And there was no damage,

but they left behind
a couple of things,

including this
bag and your card.

Oh.

The police have an
eye out for him.

When I talked to Lisa, she
said his phone is dead.

But she's on a haul.

She said she's turning around,

and she'll be here
in a couple of hours.

She have any idea what that
kid was doing in the apartment?

When I gave her the
address, she got confused

because that's Michael's
dad's address...

or where it used to be.

What's this kid up to?

All I know is that he was
really worried about his mom.

Hey, uh, do you have a sec?

Take a seat.

I think I'd better
stand for this.

Um...

I have something that
I need to confess.

Mm-hmm.

I'm the one who
broke your statue.

I'm sorry.

Do you know what that statue is?

It's an award of valor.

Of course it is.

It's probably the most
valuable thing in this office.

I totally get that. And
I am... I am very sorry.

You didn't have to come
forward, but you did.

That shows character.

Excuse me?

Keep at it.

OK.

OK. How bad was it?

Why are you smiling?

He says I have character.

Oh.

That worked out for you.
- Right?

Such a relief.

Wow.

I have character, too, you know.

What is that smell?

It's the glue.

Trying to waterproof
these radios.

Oh, yeah? Well, if
that doesn't work out,

you can always tie a string
between two tin cans.

Ah, damn it.

I keep gluing my
fingers together.

- I found it.
- You found what?

I've spent all day
going over the budget,

and I discovered we're way above

the mandated redundancies
on a couple non-essentials.

- Yeah?
- If we make those cuts,

we might have enough
for the radios.

What do you think?

You spent all day on this?

You didn't have to do that.

Sure I did. We're
in this together.

All right, Wall
Street. Come on.

Let's start moving
some money around.

Hey, Ritter.

Ritter.

Is there any way to get
back deleted text messages?

Uh, as long as it's
less than 30 days.

Show me?

Truck 81, Ambulance
61, person injured.

9298 South Paulina.

It's Maddox.

We need medics over here.

Violet, Novak, this way.

Carver, Ritter,
get the stretcher.

Copy. OK, people, step
back. Give 'em some room.

Michael, what happened?

What happened?

This lunatic took a
crowbar to my building.

That's what happened.

Laceration must be from
the broken window glass.

Let's wrap this arm
and stop the bleeding.

Hey, Michael, can
you sit up for us?

I got you.

I... I got the wind knocked
out of me when I fell.

- All right, give me your arm.
- That's what you get.

He got what he deserved.

Did you touch him?

When I pulled up, he was
hammering away at my sign.

I yelled. He wouldn't stop.

Owner says he feared
for his property,

so he shoved the kid away.

Do you know the boy?
- Yeah.

Yeah, he and his mom
are friends of mine.

I was just mad, OK?

I wasn't gonna hurt anyone.

I just want them to
leave my mom alone.

Hey, I know.

All right, let's get him to Med.

Here we go.

Hey, Michael.

I'm gonna call your mom.

I'm gonna tell her
where you're going, OK?

Yeah.

What are you doing?
Where's he going?

You... you're not gonna
put him in custody?

Look what he did
to my storefront!

He needs to go to the hospital.

You are the one that's gonna
get charged with assault.

He's a kid.

The boy needs medical attention.

I'll take your
statement. Come on.

Because he's a juvie
with no priors,

I can get him into a program
that'll keep his record clean

and make sure he
doesn't take a crowbar

to another person's
building again.

That sounds a little ominous.

Well, I mean, it...
it's not summer camp,

but he'll survive it just fine.

Michael? Where's Michael?

My 14-year-old son.

Lisa.

It's OK. He's fine.

He just needed a
couple stitches.

He's in Trauma 1.

He's good.

It's OK.

None of this
is... is like him.

He's never been
destructive in his life.

I think he was just scared.

He was angry, and he
didn't know who to talk to.

So, uh, his father
just abandoned him.

Michael said that his
dad went to Flagstaff

with his new girlfriend,

but Michael still had
a key to the place.

He didn't wanna
worry you about work.

He was trying to protect you.

I'm his mother. I
should protect him.

You're good. You're good.

Uh,

whatever you need
from me, I'll do it.

I'm not going back
to that company.

Michael.

You're OK.

There she is. Aw.

Hey.

Attention, people!

Wow.

Look.

Take a look at that.

- Wait, is that the...
- Apex 8000?

Yes, it is.

And this baby has the
IP68 water rating,

programmable buttons,

and advanced noise cancellation.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, yeah.

Maybe one day, Squad will
get our hand-me-downs.

You didn't draw a line, did you?

Nope.

I followed him straight
down the rabbit hole.

I always did, too.

Herrmann's the kind of
boss you'd follow anywhere.

Lisa is going to talk, so the
Department of Transportation

is willing to waive
her violations.

She'll still be able to work
for other trucking companies?

Yes, sir. Legit ones.

And Maddox Trucking's
rigs are all off the road?

That's right.

Lieutenant Kidd can be a
hell of a pain in the ass.

But she doesn't
back down, does she?

No, sir, she does not.

Any circumstance.

Hi.

Hey.

Do you guys remember me?

I was shirtless and a
little panicked at the time.

That rings a bell.

Do you have a sec?

She does. I was just leaving.

OK.

How's Ali doing?

Uh, good.

He should be back to his cart
in a couple of weeks, I think.

Good. Good.

I expect free kebabs for life.

I'm Flynn, by the way.

Violet.

I just wanted to say thank
you for not embarrassing me.

Embarrassing you?

I was telling everyone at
my office about my big save

and how smart I was for tying
off the carotid artery and...

- Oh.
- They pointed out

the carotid's in your
neck, not your leg.

That's something I guess
everybody in the world knows,

except me.
- No, you know, what matters is

you put the tourniquet
in the right place.

Well, I just started thinking

I should be better prepared
in case of another emergency.

I mean, next week, if someone
goes after the hot dog vendor,

I need to be ready.

Right.

So are you looking
for first aid classes?

If you know any.

OK, yeah, there's
actually one I teach.

I can send you the link.

And you already know

that I won't be
embarrassing you in class.

- That's...
- that's true.

Mm-hmm.

There's also a great bar nearby

if you maybe wanted
to grab a drink after.

Ah.

No maybe about it.

I'm in.

All right, cool.

- Yeah.
- Give me your phone.

OK.

I decided I'm not gonna
be mad about what you did.

I know Violet was only trying
to mess with your head.

And what were you doing when
you deleted texts off my phone?

Hmm?

I was trying to protect us.

Sam,

I only deleted that
text because I knew

what it was going
to do to your head.

And now, honestly, I'm
glad that you saw it

because now you know I'm right.

She's just trying
to get between us.

Sam,

I swear I'm gonna do

whatever it takes to
protect what we have.

I promise.

Because I know you
better than anyone else.

I always will.
