Look out!
Previously on Chicago Fire...
They granted her parole.
There is one condition. She has to move in with me.
Your place? 10 minutes?
You're on.
I moved out.
What?
I told Daniel it wasn't gonna work.
Stay with me.
Recovery time could be four weeks instead of one year.
How come I didn't hear about this from my other surgeon?
It's experimental. There are real risks here,
including partial paralysis.
Disappoint everyone, but don't ever disappoint yourself.
You want to stay.
I can't go with you.
Fold your arms behind your back,
lifting your hands as high as they'll go.
And extend your arms forward,
bend your elbows.
Press up against my hands.
Thank you, Lieutenant.
Be right back.
Hey!
Hey.
Well?
Full duty. Starting next shift.
Bang!
Congratulations! Pretty great, huh?
Yes! This is so great!
So happy for you.
Thank you.
Uh, hey, just a heads up.
Eric Whaley is still there.
I got no beef with him.
How's the little one?
Yeah, things are working out surprisingly well,
considering Clarice is in the bathroom every 10 minutes.
Yeah. Severide's just...
He's been totally cool since she moved in.
That's nice of him.
I mean, going up and down that spiral staircase with a baby,
that's gonna suck.
But, we should probably just leave him up there until he can walk down himself.
Um...
I get that you're not a huge fan of Clarice,
but we're a couple now,
and I'm looking basically to be a step-mom.
So I need your support.
I'm sleeping with Mills.
I knew it!
You skank!
You kept it from me this whole time?
We agreed to keep it cool at work, so...
Does Casey know?
I don't think so.
Are you gonna tell him? Do you think I should?
So, you're over him?
Look, he zigged, I zagged. Wasn't meant to be.
How's the sex with Mills?
I...
I really like him, but it's not just a physical thing.
So let's just say he's very...
...detail-oriented.
But, here's the problem.
He wants me to meet his mom, and I'm...
I'm just not there yet.
What would you do?
Detail-oriented, huh?
Ambulance 61, Truck 81, Squad 3.
Driver fled the scene, but the passenger's pinned in there pretty good.
Door's jammed. We've got to cut her out.
Bruce, Otis? Get ready to assist Squad at that end.
Are you hurt anywhere?
It's okay.
All right, sweetie, this is gonna go around your neck.
Can you tell us a name?
Ambrosia.
Oh, yeah? You working tonight?
A little.
You were in my dreams.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Here, sweetie.
Come on. What'd you take, sweetie?
Dawson.
Track marks.
Hey, Casey? How long till we get in there?
Five. Maybe 10. Let's go!
Capp, be ready with the spreaders.
Hadley, we need the ram for the dashboard.
Got it.
All right!
Okay.
All right, guys, watch her head.
Try to keep her steady.
Okay, good. She's gonna arrest!
We've got to get her to the hospital now.
Let's get her up. Let go of the handle.
There you go.
I'm barely getting a pulse on her.
Fifth heroin OD this week.
What the hell's going on?
Yeah, I asked Nancy what was on her Bucket List once she got out.
She didn't get the reference.
You forget how closed off these prisoners are
in terms of movies
and popular culture and stuff.
Little things that we take for granted.
I'm just gonna give my congratulations
and then I'll let you two have your time together.
Sounds good.
I can't believe this is really happening.
Rick.
Thank you.
I'll drop by once you get all settled.
Okay.
Ready?
Oh, boy.
Welcome back.
Hey, Dawson. Welcome back.
About damn time. Thanks, Chief.
And the neck's 100%, right?
Yeah, you wanna spar a few rounds after shift and find out?
Yeah, I'm good. Hey, this is, uh, Pouch.
Best damn thing to ever happen to this house.
Otis is transferring.
What? Come on, it's not like I'm being rocketed into space.
I'm going over to Morningside.
Kelly,
your relief lieutenant,
Eric Whaley.
It's been awhile.
Yeah.
You two know each other?
Yeah, I was, uh...
...engaged to Eric's sister.
Ah, got it.
The original Renee?
There was a second one?
Well, now that you're back, Whaley will move over to Engine
and relieve Jeff Turner for the next few shifts.
Okay, everyone, listen up.
Some of you may know Gabby's brother, Detective Antonio Dawson.
He has some information from CPD for us.
Thanks, Chief.
Last few weeks have seen a spike in fatal overdoses.
ME's office as connected at least a dozen deaths to a toxic batch of heroin.
Now, be aware, it's laced with fentanyl
and in most cases does not respond to the normal protocol of Naloxone.
We are now approaching each overdose as a potential homicide.
Truck 81, Squad 3,
Engine 51, Ambulance 61. Structure fire.
Gabby.
You're on the front lines of this thing.
Yeah, I'll look into it.
See, that's exactly what I don't want you to do.
The crew that's pushing this bad dope, they don't mess around.
As opposed to all those amicable drug dealers out there?
I'm serious. Be careful. Don't go Gabby on this.
Hey, you look like hell.
Good morning to you, too.
Looks like the fire's in the back, probably where the kitchen is.
Truck, get inside, open up the windows and the exits.
Give me a primary search.
Engine, get an attack line in the front.
Herrmann, Mills, open up the back.
Otis, secure the utilities.
Mouch, Cruz. Where's Cruz?
Cruz, put your mask on!
There's somebody in here! All right, well, find him!
Fire department! Is there anybody in here?
Fire's in the exhaust system. We've got to get that aerial up to the roof!
Herrmann, Mills, get that ladder set!
Just give me a line up there.
Severide, give me a progress report.
Primary search of the kitchen, negative.
It's got a vent!
Yeah, he's over here. Okay, let's clear a path.
Hey! Grab the end.
All right, let's do it!
We got you.
Keep feeding me line!
Good! Vent's open.
Send the water!
Push him all the way up.
Board up crews.
Why do they always look like gangsters?
Because they are. Do you have any idea what these contracts are worth?
Vultures.
Hey! It's not as bad as it looks, Old Timer.
That kitchen ceiling is gonna to need some patching up,
but other than that it's just a lot of smoke damage.
It's a sign
to finally get my ass to Florida.
Want to buy a bar?
So, you a fireman or a kamikaze pilot now?
Saved the old man. The fire's out. That's all that matters.
It matters if you get yourself killed.
Eric.
Look, man, when the whole thing went down,
you and I weren't talking, obviously,
and I never got a chance to apologize.
I really am sorry for what happened.
We used to be friends once, right?
I'm only here a couple more shifts.
So, how is your neck?
100%.
You'd tell me if it wasn't, right?
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't.
Yeah, right.
Otis, Casey. My office.
Otis.
Your transfer just came through.
You report to Morningside, next shift.
Oh. Wow. Um...
So it's official.
Only if you want it to be.
Look, we know you made this decision based off of one shift there.
But you have had a month to think about it.
We wanted to give you an opportunity to...
I'm ready to go, Chief.
Otis,
we do a lot of ball-breaking in this house.
It's not that we don't appreciate you.
But if anybody ever crossed the line...
It's not personal, Lieutenant.
Morningside's a smaller house. I'll have a better chance of
getting off elevators sooner.
And they let me drive.
They'll be lucky to have you.
Thanks, Chief.
Good luck, Brian.
Lieutenant.
Whoa. What are you doing here?
I need to talk real quick.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
This ought to be good.
If anyone calls you, asking if we went to a movie last night, the answer is "yes."
This heroin thing,
it's starting to blow up a little bit and I'm damn close to making some busts.
Okay.
The thing is, the guys over in Narcotics, they get real territorial
and they don't want a guy from Vice taking collars from them.
So I told a little white lie to my boss
'cause I wasn't where I was supposed to be last night
and I said that you and I...
Can you just say "yes" if anyone asks?
Why do I feel like I'm not getting the whole story?
'Cause you're not getting the whole story.
I'm working a case.
Will you cover for me please?
Uh... Of course you will. Thank you.
Hey.
I just did a little recon on that bar owner.
You're not actually thinking of buying it?
Me alone? No.
But, would I be willing to be a part of a consortium?
Maybe.
All right, first of all,
that guy was as old as dirt.
And second of all, he did a face plant off a ladder.
I doubt he even recollects making an offer to sell.
You heard him. He wants to get his ass to Florida.
He's gonna sell that place.
It's in an up and coming neighborhood,
he owns the property
and he's got the brass ring.
A liquor license.
There's the worm.
It's right there.
Who's gonna be the early bird?
Why not us?
I'm telling you,
if this place hits the open market,
some hipster douchebags are gonna swoop in and print money.
Hmm.
No vision in this house.
None.
Zero!
So, um,
who's this new Renee?
I'm curious.
I apologized.
I offered to put it past us.
If that's not something that you're up for and you'd rather keep it frosty 'til you leave,
I can do that, too.
What are you apologizing for?
For dumping her two days before the wedding? Or for what happened after?
You're not in full possession of all the facts here, Eric.
Then enlighten me, Kelly.
That's what I thought.
You were a coward then and you're a coward now.
Before this goes any further south, why don't you walk away?
Or what?
Excuse me.
Is Matthew Casey here?
Yeah, he's right this way.
How'd you get here? I took the bus.
What's going on?
I just wanted to see where my son works.
This is where I work.
Well, are you embarrassed that I'm here?
No. Of course not.
Well, then can I get a tour?
Yeah. Uh...
Um...
You saw the truck.
This is your truck? Yep.
And, uh...
Oh, this is Peter behind you, Mom.
This is Peter Mills, our Candidate.
This is my mom.
Oh, hey! Hi.
Oh! How are you?
You've got a great son.
That's very kind of you to say.
So... Oh!
May I? Oh, yes, please. Help yourself.
Thank you.
Oh, this is, uh, Gabriela Dawson.
Oh, you... You were at my hearing?
Yes, that's right. Oh.
Thank you so much. That just... That meant the world to me,
and I'm sure it did to Matthew as well.
Oh, ma'am, it was... It was my pleasure
and, uh, congratulations for...
Well, you know, uh, getting out of...
You know.
Prison.
Yeah! Yup.
Prison. The Big House.
The Big House, is it?
They didn't call it the Big House anymore? Probably not, I'm guessing.
Oh, she's adorable!
She's an absolute joy!
Forget Hallie. This is the kind of woman I always envisioned you being with.
Have you given any more thought to dinner on Sunday?
I just got to tell my mom if you're coming.
Yeah, sorry. Sorry. Dispatch has been pounding us with runs.
47's out of service. So we've just been slammed.
And, um, my cousin might actually be staying with me that...
Are you nervous about dinner?
Not at all. You?
I mean, I'm the one who extended the invitation, so...
Yeah.
Right. Of course. No, I just, um...
Am I getting in the way of you and Casey?
Absolutely not.
He's just a friend.
I'm only seeing you. I only want to see you.
I just wanna make sure we're not moving too quickly or anything.
Text me. Let me know.
Hey. Hey.
Why don't you tell Whaley what happened?
What difference would it make?
He'd get off your ass, for one.
Look, if I was gonna say anything,
I would have said something then.
Maybe he needs to know.
You think I'm in a big hurry to revisit the whole thing?
It's over. It's done. He can say what he wants. I don't care.
Lieutenant, I've got to talk to you about Cruz.
What about him?
He's been acting a little off.
You notice that as well?
I figured it was a private matter. Yeah?
And I keep asking him to tell me what it is, but he won't open up.
Then stop asking him about it, Mouch.
Ambulance 61, person in distress, Wallingford Motel.
So why are you guys keeping it on the sly?
It started out being what I wanted,
but then Boden called him on the carpet
and gave him some vague BS about putting the time in to "master your craft,"
and Mills really took it to heart.
I don't know, if I dug someone as much as you dig him,
I wouldn't be able to hide it.
Especially working together, 24 hours a day, side by side.
Are you trying to make me feel worse?
Dawson,
for someone who's such a madwoman on the job,
you are so timid in your personal life.
I mean, take some risks! Have some fun!
You know what? Thank you.
Excellent point, which you have made before, granted,
but I'm at a place in my life where I can really embrace the message.
I'm texting him right now.
Nice!
When's Clarice due?
Oh! Two weeks.
I'm getting butterflies. Oh, plenty of time.
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
I heard her scream,
but we never have any trouble around here.
Nothing. I hate hotels.
Paramedics!
Don't tell my wife.
She took a hot shot.
Okay, honey, can you hear me?
Agonal respiration. She's barely breathing.
Fight for us, girl. Come on.
You get your rocks off watching girls shoot up?
I never forced them to do anything.
That was completely their thing.
"Their"?
There's another girl in here.
61 to Main,
we need another ambulance. And CPD for a DOA.
Oh, God.
I can't get a line in. Her vein's collapsed.
I'm gonna go sublingual.
If this is the same bad dope, we don't have time for anything else.
I can't get her jaw open.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Okay. What's happening?
You're okay. You're all right. My name is Gabby. This is Leslie.
We're gonna get you to the hospital, all right?
Come on, let's get on the chair.
Man, this stuff is gonna wipe out half the city.
Hey. Antonio.
Hey, Victoria, it's me.
What the hell happened?
It wasn't enough for you to hit this junk on your own?
You had to bring Natalie back into it?
She was clean. I told you to stay away from her!
Antonio!
What's the problem?
Hey!
What the hell's going on?
There's this new crew out of New York that's been pushing their way into prostitution,
looking for a cut of everyone's action.
Those who don't pay, their girls are getting hit with bad dope.
That's what's going on.
That's who I'm trying to bring down.
And I'm trying to get close to these animals
but it's difficult when my informants keep getting spiked left and right.
Okay, all right. I get it, okay?
But I've never seen you like this before.
You're starting to worry me a little bit.
You're keeping secrets from your boss, you're asking me to lie to mine.
It's a little different being a cop than a paramedic, Gabby.
There's a little more to it.
I would've put on a pot of coffee if I'd known you were coming.
If you knew I was coming, this wouldn't be an unannounced visit.
Yeah, those... Those are personal letters.
As long as you're on parole, nothing in here is personal.
Yes, we understand, Officer.
Thank you.
Pretty straightforward, Nancy.
You are to be in this house from 9:00 p.m. To 9:00 a.m. Every day.
You are not to consume alcohol or illegal drugs.
You are not to associate with any known criminals.
And we have an appointment
on the 23rd in my office.
It's yours to screw up.
Well, then you have nothing to worry about.
Give me a second.
Hey! Can I call you right back?
Okay.
Rick? Uh, no, I...
I called that off.
Why? He seemed nice.
He was too nice.
So then who was that on the phone?
Uh... A friend.
Another pen pal?
Wow, You make it sound so tawdry, but yeah.
He was someone kind enough to visit me in prison.
Morningside, huh?
All right! Yeah.
Yeah, I've heard all the speeches, so, you know...
Thanks all the same, but you can save it.
What speeches?
"It's a dead house, you're throwing your career away,
"all you're gonna do is sell T-shirts."
Oh, I don't have any speeches.
I made 100 bucks off this.
What?
What... What do you mean?
Oh...
When you first started, there was a little side action on
if you had what it took to make it at 51.
I took the under, so to speak.
Well, who else bet against me?
It was a confidential pool. Hmm.
Hey, you made it four years, man.
I'll give you that much.
Okay, I get it.
This is like a little reverse psychology ploy
to get me fired up and make me stay, right?
Son of a...
Hey. You got a minute?
I, uh...
...was just a little confused by your text last night.
Text? Yeah.
"You're right. I think it's time to meet your mom,
"and I'm really looking forward to it."
If I'm not mistaken, you met her.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I sent that before she got there.
That's so weird, 'cause I...
That was...
That was for somebody else.
I'm sorry.
Ah.
That explains it.
Ah, hey!
Can I have everybody in the briefing room?
Moment of your time. Thanks.
As you can see from the prospectus,
the offer on the table fluctuates
based upon how many of us get on board with the actual offer.
Now, it also entails if the owner be carrying the loan himself.
70,000? He'll never take it.
Guys! Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
If he turns us down, he turns us down.
I'm just looking for the seven K in cash
to get the 10% down.
Who's in?
I'm in.
Otis! Buddy!
All right, we'll keep you apprised while you're over at Morningwood.
Oh, no, no. I'm actually happy to announce
to all you people who bet that I wouldn't make it here,
that I've withdrawn my transfer request.
Get out of here with that. No one was bet against you.
What?
All right, look. Anyone else?
Look, it's a neighborhood bar in Bucktown.
We're looking to bring in the new families that have moved in
and have thus far been neglected.
You're gonna pass up a deal like this?
Mouch. Too volatile.
All right, Mouch is out. He thinks the bar is built on a volcano.
Anybody else?
We're just looking for one more to put in $2,300 and we're whole.
I'm in.
Dawson.
I'm making an investment.
I've got to make money to pay for med school, so...
Are you crazy?
What?
Plus, it sounds like fun.
So then just tell me what happened.
We've all...
- How is this your business? - How is this my business?
Yes! How is it your business?
It wasn't just Renee's life you screwed up.
It was our whole family. Look!
I moved on with my life, okay?
Maybe you should, too.
Tell me, how do you move on
from seeing your sister's car wrapped around a telephone pole, huh?
Come on. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Your boy here,
the great Kelly Severide.
After he dumps my sister, she goes out drinking,
ends up in a coma for three months.
Where was Kelly?
Never heard from him.
Your sister hooked up with an ex-boyfriend before the wedding.
Shay.
No. He needs to know this.
Kelly found out about it, so he called off the wedding.
And he didn't say anything because your entire family
was in the hospital after Renee hit that pole.
He didn't wanna dump more grief on you guys.
So he took the hit.
That's what happened, all right? So lay off.
Shay.
Hospital just called.
Clarice's water just broke.
Thanks.
Anything else need to be said beyond what's already been screamed or yelled?
No, Chief. Nope.
You gonna make it another three shifts?
Or do I need to find you a new home?
I like to fulfill my obligations.
So yeah, I'd like to stay until I'm done.
You got a problem with that, Kelly?
I don't.
Eric,
I have been on vacation for the past few weeks,
so you probably haven't got a chance
to know how I operate.
I say things once.
Copy that.
Both of you, back to work.
Part of my frustration, I guess, is that
I don't know where she is half the time.
She doesn't really talk to the family any more.
Deal.
Ah, that's amazing.
Yes! Thank you so much.
You guys saved my life.
If you want the place, it's yours.
Wow.
Thank you. Okay.
I just got two favors.
Name it.
Don't turn this place into some kind of hipster joint
that caters to all these new arrivals.
Are you kidding me? Hell no.
Just keep the charm.
You have our word that we will bend over backwards
to try and accommodate that.
Oh, you said you had a second favor?
Oh, yeah.
I promised someone else a little taste, if you know what I mean.
Strictly off the books, depending on what he brings to the table,
but it's your call as to what size that piece will be.
We're not...
We're not really looking for any more partners.
Relax, sweetheart. He's a silent partner.
Just take care of him.
Sorry I'm late, Mister Stephanides.
No problem, Arthur. Come on in.
Arthur's crew boarded the place up after the fire,
free of charge.
You're going to get along just great.
Uh, what are you doing?
I'm going out.
To do what?
Have dinner.
With this pen pal guy?
Yes indeedy.
Your parole officer said that you...
I'll be back before my curfew. Don't worry about it.
I'm worried about it, Mom.
You're not even 24 hours into being...
I am not going out to sell crack!
I thought you invited me into your home so I could live my life.
But if your intention was to parent me or,
or somehow get back at me for what happened,
then you shouldn't have bothered.
Whoa, whoa, whoa... hold up.
Nobody talks to me like that, all right?
Especially in my own house.
I'm going to have dinner, Matthew.
I'll be back before my curfew.
I hope you have a wonderful night.
The number you have reached is no longer in service.
Hey.
It's a boy.
All right!
Come on.
Oh, God, he's healthy, beautiful, adorable cheeks.
He can't wait to meet you.
Yeah? Yeah.
Sorry about that back at the firehouse.
No, you're not.
Hi.
It's amazing.
Daniel.
Do you want to hold him?
I don't know what your plans are, but, um,
of course I'd love for you to be a part of our lives
as much as you can.
Wow.
Father of the Year, right there.
Clarice Carthage and Leslie Shay?
Yes?
You've been served in the case of Daniel Schwartz versus Clarice Carthage.
What is it?
Petition for full custody.
It's okay.
Oh, my God. You're not answering.
I hope that's good news.
Um, I'm in the parking lot. I'm sorry I'm late.
Be there in a sec.
Hey, what are you doing here? Hey.
Hey, Antonio! What's wrong?
The girl you brought in, the 'OD.'
Victoria.
She bolted.
Nobody's seen her for at least an hour.
All right, well, what's up?
The DOA was my informant for years
and I was going to start over with Victoria.
Now she's gone.
Antonio, you need some rest, okay?
You're barely making any sense.
Let me take you home.
I got to go.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, Antonio!
Antonio!
Antonio! Oh, God!
Come on. Come on!
Oh, God!
Come on! You hear me? Hold on.
Somebody, help!
Hold on. I've got you. I've got you.
You're going to be fine.
Help!
Somebody help me!
