(SIREN WAILING)
What'd you take? Dawson, track marks.
NARRATOR: Previously on Chicago Fire.
Last few weeks have seen a spike in fatal overdoses.
We are now approaching each overdose as a potential homicide.
(BABY BABBLING)
Clarice Carthage and Leslie Shay? Yes?
You've been served.
What is it? Petition for full custody.
You two know each other?
I was engaged to Eric's sister.
AUTOMATED VOICE: The number you have reached is no longer in service.
You were a coward then and you're a coward now.
Before this goes any further south, why don't you walk away?
You are to be in this house from 9:00 p.m. To 9:00 a.m. Every day.
You are not to associate with any known criminals.
What are you doing?
I'll be back before my curfew. Don't worry about it.
I'm worried, Mom. You're...
I am not going out to sell crack!
I've never seen you like this before.
There's this new crew out of New York...
Those who don't pay, their girls are getting hit with bad dope.
That's who I'm trying to bring down.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (GUN FIRING)
Oh my God! Antonio! Somebody help!
(WHIMPERING)
Try not to move. You're going to be all right.
You're going to be fine.
(HORN HONKING)
Hey! Hey, stop!
(HORN HONKING) (BRAKES SCREECH)
Gunshot wounds to the abdomen and left chest,
exit under the arm caught the axillary artery.
I'll take over on pressure.
He's my brother. I'm going into the O.R. With you.
Can't do it. Now.
Got it. Somebody grab the monitor.
Let's get him up the hall into four. Go, go, go!
He's all cleaned up, Daddy.
Oh, no. I'm not the... I'm not the... I'm...
Okay.
Oh. Oh. Okay.
Hey, guy. Hey, bud.
Daddy.
Hey, bud!
(CELL PHONE BEEPS)
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Dawson. What happened?
Oh, baby. I don't know.
(SOBBING)
I'm not happy about our fight last night.
It's important to me that we communicate.
I agree.
I get the sense you weren't too happy about me going out
with my friend Gary last night.
It had nothing to do with...
Gary.
I was worried about my mother violating her parole.
Fine. (CLEARS THROAT) Agreed.
Can we agree to trust each other?
To discuss things like two adults?
Yeah.
I'm happy to hear it.
Eat, while they're still warm.
You know something?
You're right.
If we're going to live together, we need to get things
out in the open.
So I'm going to ask.
Why'd you do it?
Now you're just being hurtful.
No, I'm asking a question I need the answer to.
In 15 years, you've never told me why.
What made you go over to Dad's...
You always do this!
He was really cagey.
We were talking right before it happened.
He's... he's... He's lucky that you were there.
Okay?
Pete, it's fine. She knows.
Is he out of I.C.U?
No, not yet.
I'm going to go to the hospital after shift.
All right, I'll go with you.
CASEY: Hey.
I just heard. How is he?
Uh, he lost a lot of blood,
so, they're still doing the transfusions.
(SIGHS)
I'm so sorry.
Your brother went so above and beyond for me
with the Voight thing.
If there's anything I can do just let me know.
Thank you.
Uh, Chief wanted me to tell you
there's a police detective here to see you in his office
for some follow-up questions.
Okay.
BODEN: Dawson, come on in.
This is Detective Dan Vikan from Narcotics.
Very sorry to hear about Antonio.
We got damn near every cop in this city
out looking for who shot him.
Good to know.
Antonio was looking for the leader of the crew
that's been putting out the bad drugs.
He talk to you about that?
'Cause I know you had a conversation with him
right before he was shot.
He said that guys from Narcotics
were being territorial
and didn't want a guy from Vice taking his collars,
so he was doing twice the work.
(SCOFFS)
Let's have an. Honest conversation.
Let's.
Your brother went way off the reservation on this one.
You told me you were here to investigate the shooter,
not investigate Antonio.
It's all related, Chief.
And unfortunately, the first step
is to try and sift through eight layers of lies
he sold his superiors and colleagues. Myself included.
DAWSON: I'd trust my brother with my life.
I don't know you from a load of wood.
Your boss has my card if you decide to change your mind and help.
I honestly don't know anything about what's going on with Antonio.
Okay.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Morning. Morning.
You still work on boats?
Yeah.
Boater's key. Thanks.
Mmm, you probably already got one, right?
Always use another.
I was out of line last shift.
So, uh, that is half a peace offering.
Accepted.
The other half?
A bribe.
(LAUGHS) These things cost seven bucks, man.
Fair enough. Look,
now that I know what really happened
between you and Renee,
I'm thinking she's probably been letting the guilt
beat her up this whole time.
I got no right to ask this, but...
I think if you reached out to her,
it could go a long way towards turning things around.
'Cause like I said, man, we don't hear from her.
Look, this is her cell number.
At least I think it is. It's a computerized voice.
I've left messages.
Eric, I don't even really know what I would say.
So maybe it's just best to leave the past in the past.
Maybe even just hearing your voice...
It might make a difference.
Hey, chow's up!
(DOG WHIMPERING)
Hey, hey! Don't you even think about it.
(WHINES)
Shay, this is that baby book I was telling you about.
Lots of good stuff, swaddling, soothing...
Thanks, Herrmann.
Hey, do you know if it says anything about sleep schedules?
I didn't read it.
Hmm.
All right, you're our guy for construction on the new bar, right?
I believe the offer was "free consultation."
Okay. All right, fine.
The inspection is tomorrow, and then our new silent partner
is coming over here later for a meet-and-greet.
We just got to make sure that this guy knows
that we're driving this car.
Go easy. Extra partner means lower costs for the rest of us.
I'm with Herrmann.
There's an old Japanese proverb...
Don't let your daughter-in-law eat your autumn eggplants.
What the hell does that mean?
Don't let yourself be taken advantage of.
(ALARM BUZZING)
Okay.
(DISPATCHER) Engine 51, Truck 81, Ambulance 61.
Possible drowning.
(SIRENS WAILING) (HORN HONKING)
Right there.
BOY 1: We were playing, and all of a sudden Patrick fell in!
Please, help my son!
How long has he been under? Three minutes, maybe more.
Let's get that straight-frame to the edge of the lake right now.
Exactly where did he fall in?
Right here. He came up for a second,
then he went right back down again.
Keep feeding me line until I hit bottom,
then allow six more feet every time I tug twice, all right?
When I tug three times, I've got the kid.
Please, God! Please find my boy.
All right, he's at the bottom.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
Three tugs, he's got him!
(GASPS)
Medics, get ready.
Mills, go in the ambulance as back-up.
MILLS: Right.
Oh my God.
Is he alive? (VOICE BREAKING) Patrick.
DAWSON: Put him in the rig now!
(SIREN WAILING)
Pushing epinephrine.
Shay, check for lung silence. SHAY: Yeah.
Come on, Patrick.
Good. Let's do a pulse check.
SHAY: Come on, Patrick. Come on.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait a second.
What?
I have a pulse.
Are you sure?
Yeah. Yeah, pulses!
(PUMPING)
B.P. Is 60 over 40.
(SIGHS)
Hey. Hey.
How's the kid? Good.
Yeah? Yeah.
Got him warmed up, his B.P.'s stabilized.
TRILLING: Lieutenant.
Hey, I just heard the news. That's great.
Yeah, thanks to you guys.
Um...
I just want you to know, uh,
I didn't...
My son was in that water,
and I froze.
I did nothing. Sir...
I don't know why. I just stood there.
I wanted to move but my feet wouldn't...
Listen to me.
I've been to thousands of accident scenes,
and you never know, any given day,
how someone's going to react.
Yeah, but I did nothing.
He's my son, and I did nothing.
That's cold, dangerous water.
You went in there, we'd have been rescuing two.
If you hadn't shown up. But we did.
And now your boy's going to be fine.
And you're going to be here to take him home.
Okay?
Okay. Thanks.
Let me handle this.
All right. All right.
Hey! Hey, Arthur. Sorry for the wait.
Ah, not a problem.
I appreciate what you guys do.
We wanted to open the lines of communication,
and let you know our perspective
on the whole partnership thing.
So, with the Latino girl, we're four, right?
I think that's actually Latina.
ARTHUR: Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah.
Look, I'm no math major,
but partnership-wise, uh, that's, 25% stake each. No?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no.
The old man definitely did not say equal partnership.
He said take care of you
based upon what you brought to the table.
So, construction, hauling, initial investment...
I don't have a lot of out-of-pocket money
to do any investing. I... so...
We're not talking 25%, then.
Okay, sure. Yeah. No, I get your point.
Listen, let's just see what you bring to the table,
we'll see how it goes and we'll make sure that it's fair.
Sounds great.
Uh, look, I got to get back to work,
but I'll see you tomorrow at the inspection, huh?
Yeah. Okay.
(LAUGHS) (JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
Hi, there, little guy.
CLARICE: You know, Daniel's planning on using the fact
that I was in therapy and on anti-depressants
as proof that I'm mentally unstable.
Screw Daniel. We're strong enough.
We'll handle whatever he throws our way.
Well, the lawyer did say there was another option.
What?
We could offer 50-50 custody.
Clarice... I know Daniel will take it.
You know, and then we can just end all of this
and focus on being a family.
Hey, you. Hi.
(SOFTLY) Okay.
Knock, knock.
Hey. Hey.
I'd be dead if you hadn't been there.
No, you'd have crawled your way to the front door.
Has anybody come talk to you?
Yeah, some detective from Narcotics named Vikan.
Hey.
He's after my badge.
He's saying you've gone off the rails.
Look, this started out
as prostitutes getting a hold of bad dope.
That's a Vice case. Which is why I got involved.
Then it turned into the bad dope being dealt.
That's when Narcotics came in.
Hey. Then it became about that new gang
that I was telling you about,
trying to push their way in and take over.
(SIGHS)
Laura and the kids?
Department's putting them in protective custody
until they catch who tried to kill me.
Have they been threatened?
There's been some hang ups on our home phone line.
If this was all about gangs,
there is one cop who could have helped out.
Don't even think about it.
(GATE OPENING)
(CHAIN CLANKING)
(CLEARS THROAT) Uh...
My name is Gabriela... I know who you are.
What the hell do you want?
My brother, Antonio Dawson, he works in Vice.
Yeah, yeah, he's the guy who put the cuffs on me.
You tell him I said hi, okay?
Okay, well this involves him.
So if you've got your panties in a twist
over how he does his job and that's a deal breaker for you,
you just say so and I'll leave.
Continue.
(CLEARS THROAT)
He's investigating some bad dope
that's been dumped on prostitutes.
It's about some new gangs...
Look, I've heard all about that.
He was shot a couple of days ago.
But this is more than just him and his family
still having a bullseye on their chest.
Girls are dying out there.
If my brother was willing to risk his life trying to stop it,
I'm willing to risk mine trying to help him.
My ex-partner had a thing he liked to say.
What was the first thing Adam said
when the good Lord dropped him in Eden?
What's in it for me?
You know, I came here on the off chance
that despite what happened,
you might still care about trying to prevent people from dying.
I don't know what your jail situation is.
As a former cop, I'm assuming you're segregated, so...
Maybe by helping out that would go a ways
to getting you some better...
Ah.
I don't know, accommodations?
Then this conversation becomes about favors.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
Okay what?
Okay, you help me, I'll help you.
You're going to want to talk to a guy named T.T.
He operates out of a two-story on the corner of 27th and State.
But I wouldn't advise you come knocking for him on your own.
Yeah, well I can take care of myself.
Fine.
Just tell him Voight sent you,
you're looking for someone to testify about the Red Hooks.
That's the gang your brother was trying to take down.
T.T. Owes me.
And he's motivated 'cause the Red Hooks are trying to move in on his action.
Yeah, okay. All right, got it. T.T. Got it.
I'll be seeing you around.
Thanks for your help.
I don't get this inspector, man.
This bar's been here for 30 years,
and the old man said he never had a problem.
Shut up.
So how's it looking?
Unfortunately, we have issues, main one being the layout.
Your kitchen and bar area are too close together.
Mr. Stephanides said that you've always approved it.
Ah, well, see, that's a different situation.
Mr. Stephanides and I had an understanding.
(SCOFFS) Okay, let me handle this.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(LAUGHS)
Oh, God.
What, are you posing for a calendar?
It's called the football hold.
Oh!
Thank God he looks like Clarice.
(SIGHS)
Was he crying?
No, not too bad.
I must've been out like a light. I'm so sorry.
No, it's fine. Really. I don't mind.
Hey, this attorney you guys got.
Mmm-hmm.
Do you think he can locate people?
Like?
Like Renee. Whaley.
Really?
No, it's not like that.
Eric came to me, asking if I could reach out.
I guess they've all tried and failed and...
He gave me a cell number, I left a message,
Maybe if I just showed up and...
I don't even know why I'm talking about this.
You're talking about it because it might help.
I mean, what would I even gain from this?
Nothing.
What?
I...
Today at the hospital you reach out to some father you've never met but...
You don't want to try and help out someone you almost married?
(DOOR CLANKS)
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
Uh, my name's Gabriela. I'm looking for T.T.
(GRUNTS)
(GUN COCKS)
(WHIMPERS)
Why is you asking around about me, bitch?
Voight. Detective Voight.
He told me to come see you.
You a cop?
I'm Gabriela Dawson. Firehouse 51.
I need your help.
My brother's a cop and he was shot last night.
Girls are dying from bad dope.
You know this 'cause they're trying to move in on you.
Voight told me that you can get somebody to testify against the Red Hooks.
(GUN COCKS)
You come around here again,
I'm going to blow your head clean off.
Do you understand me? (WHIMPERING)
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
(PANTING)
(TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING)
Renee.
Be right back.
Kelly Severide.
Good seeing you. How you doing?
What brings you?
Or is this just one hell of an awkward coincidence.
No, um, I'm working with Eric at the same house. 51.
Oh.
And he asked if I'd come...
I'm doing fine.
Is that what you came to find out?
I guess so, yeah.
Well your question's been answered then.
Thanks for your concern.
This is probably going to come as a surprise to you.
Jail visitation logs are monitored.
Certainly those concerning dirty ex-cops.
I got a call.
Several, in fact.
What's my response going to be, Gabby?
I went there to see if Voight would provide any help
with the Antonio thing. Gabby.
(SIGHS)
I can't do anything about what you do off-shift,
so I will save my breath.
But I will give you a bit of advice.
The news on this is going to travel fast.
It sure as hell got to me quick.
So, you may want to bring in a certain someone from this house
before it gets on the grapevine,
and he forms his own opinion.
They tried to kill Antonio and for all I know,
they still may want to finish the job.
Plus, all those O.D.'s... Voight tried to take me out!
He's a liar and a crook. I know.
But sometimes you've got to, you know,
dance with the devil.
Really? Is that the way it works?
(SIGHS)
Casey, I didn't feel like I had any other choice.
I'm sorry. Hey. Just do what you need to do, okay?
I hope it works out.
Hey, Eric.
Kelly.
So um, I saw Renee.
You're kidding. No.
(CHUCKLES)
That's great!
Or was it?
Yeah, no, she's...
She's doing fine.
Where'd you find her?
At this bar she works at.
Cocktail waitress?
Basically, yeah.
She good? She happy?
Yeah, she seems happy.
Thanks. Mmm-hmm.
Hopefully I'll hear from her. Hope so.
Big day! We just heard the news.
Congratulations.
I think a toast is in order here. Huh?
This is vodka
my parents brought back straight from the homeland.
Now, Herrmann and I are on duty,
so we can't imbibe, but don't let that stop you.
(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)
Um...
I'll pass.
If you'll just, uh, sign where the X's are,
and you'll be all set.
I want to apologize for any misunderstanding.
I'll get these into the system right away,
and you'll get your fully executed copies in the mail shortly.
You know, I was thinking about our first conversation about...
what it is I bring to the table.
I bring a lot of intangibles, I think they call it.
In fact, I'd say I bring 25% worth.
(SIGHS)
You got to stop this now.
You want to get shot, too?
Just...
Let the investigation play itself out.
I think I just ruined a friendship.
With who?
(ALARM BUZZING)
(DISPATCHER) Truck 81, Squad 3, Battalion 25, Ambulance 61.
House Collapse. 1600 Block, North Poplar.
(SIREN WAILING) (HORN HONKING)
The ceiling fell in, it sounded like thunder.
We'll take a look. Stay back.
Our upstairs neighbor, he's a crazy hoarder.
Keeps all these magazines and newspapers.
We could hear the floor creaking for months.
Have you seen him?
Ma'am, will you move to the corner.
This building is compromised.
Everybody proceed with caution.
The main level collapsed into the basement.
We can't get in from here.
Where's the entrance to the basement?
The door's open. Oh my God!
My daughter goes down there with her boyfriend sometimes.
BODEN: Okay, we're going in.
Truck Squad, get all the airbags and cribbing we have.
Get it out here, now!
(CREAKING)
We need to create a tunnel using airbags and cribbing.
We'll slide 'em in one by one, and then we use the cribbing as support.
Severide, you're in front. Call out the line.
All right. Casey, Herrmann, Capp, Cruz, Hadley, Mills,
you guys are with me, the rest of you guys, up to feed the line. Go!
Cribbing! More cribbing.
All right, up on yellow.
(WHIRRING)
Send the Stokes basket down the tunnel!
The Stokes basket.
You guys okay? Yeah, yeah. I think so.
Oh baby! Oh my baby! There you go. She's okay, Ma.
Got banged around a little.
(DOOR SHUTS) There's a young woman in the briefing room,
who says she wants to talk to you.
You Gabriela?
I am.
T.T. Told me to come here.
I'm glad you did.
And I can trust you?
You can. Because I'm not playing around, all right?
If I'm going to help, I need assurances.
I need to get out of town for my testimony.
They'll kill me in a second if they knew I was here.
Whatever you need. It'll be taken care of. You have my word.
What do you know?
Everything.
Hey, partner.
Arthur,
I want to come clean with you.
All right,
the thing is, I've got a checkered history
in terms of business investments.
Some people, they hoard broken junk.
Well, I hoard broken opportunities.
My point is, is that I'm really looking forward to owning this bar.
It's an investment opportunity that
I truly believe
is going to work.
So what's the problem?
You're the problem.
You're a bully, and you use threats and violence to intimidate people.
So if you want to have at it,
and smash up my legs
just like you did that poor bastard inspector,
then have at it.
I mean it.
Is that right?
I'm a firefighter, Arthur.
I see a lot of things that, believe me, you don't want to see.
I don't get squeamish.
Instead of 25 percent
you get one.
One percent of what I foresee as being pretty solid profits,
all for doing nothing
but walking away from our bar,
and staying away.
I'll expect my one percent monthly.
Any word back yet from Daniel on that 50-50 offer?
No, not yet. Oh, he'll take it.
It's the best deal he's going to get and he knows it.
Well, Wesley's going to have a good man in his life, regardless.
That's nice of you to say.
All right, well, there you have it.
I can keep it in my room until you're ready to swap it out.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Eric.
You sure Renee seemed okay when you talked to her?
Yeah, why?
I just got a call from a hospital.
She took a bunch of pills.
I told you not to go Gabby on this.
I know you did.
Captain just told me your girl gave a full statement,
including the identity of the shooter.
This ends it, right?
It should.
But what did you promise Voight?
(SIGHS) I told him I'd return the favor, whatever that means.
You're in bed with this guy now, Gabby.
Hey,
someone tried to kill my brother.
And if you mess with my family you mess with me.
I don't regret what I did.
I love you.
And I'm proud to be your brother.
I'm so sorry, Matt.
Ron and I just kinda lost track of time,
and something happened with his car.
I don't know, it had something to do with the clutch.
And it broke down on us,
right on the Eisenhower, of course.
We had to call a tow truck, go to the service center.
Do you want me to get the driver's card, or the receipt?
Yeah. Get them for me.
I don't know why I even bother.
You have two weeks to find a new place.
What?
Where am I going to live? Where am I going to go?
I don't know.
But you've got two weeks to figure it out.
He chipped away at me, you know?
(KEYS CLANKING) Every day,
your father.
He convinced me that not only wasn't I a worthy mother,
I wasn't even a worthy person. I believed him.
And then he started to do it to you every day,
another sidelong comment, another criticism.
You remember it, I know you do.
You started to internalize it, and my worst
fear was coming true, that he was going to do to you what he did to me.
So that night he called,
we argued,
and he said something
about you.
Something
so cruel,
and I snapped.
And I went and I got the gun
out of the box that he kept in the closet,
and I took the house key that you left out,
and I drove across town
and I shot him.
Just to shut him up.
Just to never hear those words coming out of his mouth again.
I know what you're thinking.
I know what you've thought.
But I know you, Matthew.
You don't have that kind of anger inside of you,
that ability to completely lose control.
You're not me.
And I think that's what you really wanted to know.
