BODEN: We have an active chemical spill. Suit up for rescue!
DAWSON: Previously on Chicago Fire...
CASEY: I don't want us going down the same road we did last time
and not talking to each other for a month. You're too important to me for that.
I feel the same way. You know, I found this contract
that we both signed after we got into an argument.
Let's always keep the fighting clean and the sex dirty.
I could always just tell that there was something that wasn't being told to me.
Do you really not care if it all comes out?
Pete's going to keep digging until he finds out.
If you care about Mills like I think you do, drop it.
WOMAN: (SCREAMS) Oh, God! SEVERIDE: The victim's underneath!
SEVERIDE: Hang on ma'am, we're going to get you out.
WOMAN: She said you tried to kiss her but she was uncomfortable
and tried to leave.
IAD is pushing me to file a police report.
For what? Look me in the eye, tell me what I did!
The I. G has sustained Tara's allegations.
They're kicking the case up to the state's attorney's office.
Meaning what? Criminal charges.
A promotion, huh?
You need to stay away.
You get a promotion and meanwhile I could go to jail.
Get away. They're talking about filing criminal charges!
Why the hell are you doing this?
I didn't do a damn thing to you!
I said to stay away! You okay ma'am?
She's fine. Ma'am?
We both know nothing happened that night! Hey.
SEVERIDE: Tara!
(GROANS)
I have a request.
Yeah? What's that?
(HALLIE GIGGLING)
That we don't move from this spot for the entire day.
And you skip your shift?
Mmm...
I'll just have the truck pick me up here if we get any calls.
I don't think these boxers are going to stand up against a fire.
I'll just call out orders from this spot.
Cruz, grab a two and a half.
Mouch, put down the sandwich.
At twenty-four hours and one minute, I want to be right back here.
Deal.
MILLS: I'm happy for them.
Yeah, me too.
Are you?
Without a doubt. Yes.
Good.
So... Um...
This might be a weird time, but um...
I was just thinking this whole two rent thing, it's... It's crazy.
"Two rent thing?"
I mean, you know, you're basically living with me already.
And we only call each other to say, "Hey, are you home yet?" So...
How about I give you a key, we make it official, and you move in?
I realize that was the complete opposite of being romantic... Um...
No, no.
Look, I know I'm really, really bad at this.
I keep beating around the bush all the time, but... I love you.
Uhhh... I think we should live together.
I'm... I'm... Oh, God that was awful.
That was really awful.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, it was.
Look, take the time you need to think about it,
and let me know. No pressure.
HERRMANN: Hey, Peter Mills. Hurry up,
cause I've got to take your money after I finish with Cruz here.
Okay, duty calls.

SHAY: He loves you! That's great news! Right?
I don't know.
Out with it. What?
I, uh...
I still haven't come clean with him about Boden and his mom.
And it just, it feels like this dark cloud hanging over us.
Over you, you mean. Well, to be fair, yes.
Okay. So, repeat after me.
"It's not my business." Shay...
I'm serious. That is between Boden and what's-her-name.
I just feel guilty is all I'm saying.
A lie of omission is still a lie and if we're gonna be getting this serious...
(SIRENS WAILING)
BARNES: Chief...
BARNES: All the schools are on spring break. Big party, we're here on a "D and D."
We saw the whole thing collapse. One porch on top of another.
Yeah, there's at least a dozen trapped.
Just tell us where you need us, Chief.
Get the surface victims first.
Set up cribbing columns... K-12 and sawzalls to cut away the timber.
BODEN: Battalion 25 to Dispatch,
BODEN: We have a three story deck collapse, multiple victims.
BODEN: Give me an EMS plan two and two extra truck companies for manpower.
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
No! Oh, God! Oh, God!
Ma'am! Ma'am, stay back, stay back. Come on.
No! Let me go! Let me go!
Look at me, look at me, look at me.
We're going to do everything in our power to help your friend.
Paul, his name is Paul, he's my fiancé. Tell me he isn't... We were just talking...
(WOMAN SOBBING)
Okay, Katie, I need you to listen to me.
No. No! Please don't say it. Katie, he's gone.
(SOBBING) No! He's gone.
Katie, You've got to stop. You've got to stop! No!
Katie!
(SLAP)
(SOBBING) You did nothing!
KATIE: You did nothing!
CHILD: Ow!
I got one!
(SOBBING)
I'm going to die!
You're not going to die, ma'am. You're not going to die.
She's got an impalement in her chest and lots of blood... We've got to get her
free enough to transport her and this piece of wood.
I can't breathe.
Take slow breaths, okay? Slow breaths.
Hey! We got one.
SHAY: We need some more hands!
WOMAN: I'm not gonna... I'm not gonna... Not gonna make it...
What's your name? Valerie.
Valerie, you're going to make it. You have to believe that, okay?
Don't lie to me.
You're not telling me how bad it is.
SEVERIDE: Okay, Valerie, keep still.
(SCREAMS)
All right, clear. All right, let's get her on the backboard! Now!
(SIREN WAILING)
Heart rate's dropping.
She's crashing, Shay!
61 to Lakeshore, we're coming in hot with a trauma victim.
20 years old, impalement injury, respirations are dropping.
DISPATCH: Copy that, Ambulance.
HALLIE: I need a crash cart! Call for respiratory and blood.
HALLIE: Let's hang units of O-negative!
Let's get x-ray and CT standing by.
Push an epi, now.
Stop compressions.
We've got a pulse! Let's get her into trauma! Let's go!
Nice work, Dawson.
Wow.
Could have been a hell of a lot worse.
Two DOAs and I bet we saved a dozen or more.
CRUZ: That right there's what it's all about.
HERRMANN: Hey!
What are you doing?
I'm supposed to speak to Luke's class about fire safety.
So I'm going to rig one side of the house
with flammable materials and then the other side with flame-resistant type stuff.
Then I'm going to demonstrate the difference.
Kids are going to love it.
Oh. What could possibly go wrong?
CRUZ: Guys, guys. I have an announcement to make.
Please, I need everybody's attention.
Today, I came across something so upsetting...
That it literally shook me to the core.
CRUZ: I was in the laundry room.
I was putting my stuff from the washer to the dryer,
and I discovered these, left inside.
(LAUGHING AND CHEERING)
Don't look at me! I've been a Fruit of the Loom man since 1975.
Twenty bucks to whoever finds the owner.
(GROUP LAUGHING) Lieutenant. No!
First, they ain't mine.
Second, these don't come down until the owner steps forward.
I can't unsee this...
Someone has to pay.
He who smelt it, hath dealt it.
You're nuts. Those look like something that a Russian would wear on his wedding night.
(LAUGHTER)
They're not mine! But, I will put my money on Capp.
Keep deflecting, Otis. That's a good strategy.
(DOG BARKS) Whoa!
Maybe I'll just let the kids wear the oxygen mask.
Excuse me?
Yeah? Hi.
Uh, I was wondering...
Do you guys allow kids in here to take a picture on a truck or something?
Yeah, of course we do. Where are the kids?
Oh.
Um, I'm just checking...
Some other time.
Okay.
You confronted her? In a parking lot?
I'm facing criminal charges.
Damn right I confronted her.
You are not helping yourself.
Chief, I did nothing wrong.
You did today. You strengthened her case.
Whose side are you on?
I am trying to help you here.
Well, it doesn't feel like it.
I'll handle this myself, thanks.
No, no.
You contact her again,
you go within a hundred feet of her, you will force me to take away your Squad.
That's your way of helping? Yes.
OTIS: Hey, Chief.
We're taking bets on the red skivvies from the laundry. You interested?
My dad used to tell me, "You have a choice. You can either choose to be in a bad mood..."
Right. "Or you can just decide to be happy."
Where is this going?
Uh, at first I wasn't sure about Mills, right?
Was he too young, was I just rebounding, did we move too fast?
But then I realized, damn it... He's good to me.
Be happy.
So you love him because you choose to?
No. Because I do.
Aw...
My little Dawson's all growed up.
Shut up.
What about the mom thing?
I don't know.
(ALARM BUZZING)
DISPATCH: Ambulance 61, man down and unconscious...
Looks like it's one of those days.
(SIREN WAILING)
Hey there, bud. How you doing?
His pulse is fast. Let's set him down and check his heart rate.
SHAY: All right. Oh! Here we go, buddy.
DAWSON: All right.
Okay.
Vergilio Ventura.
Welcome back, pal.
You had a couple of cocktails today?
No, I think something a little heavier.
What's your flavor, Verge?
A little H?
SHAY: Huh.
He's clean.
What's up with you, buddy?
His heart's racing at 150... He's in SVT.
We're going to lose him if we don't stabilize his rhythm.
Cardioverting at 100.
DAWSON: Stand back.
Dawson, wait!
His ears, look at his ears.
Look.
DAWSON: Shay, he's got an electrical burn.
His shoe is missing.
It's a third degree burn.
He's got an exit wound.
He was hit by lightning!
We can't shock him. His heart's had too much trauma.
Six mils of Adenosine. Yeah, yeah!
Hang in there, hang in there.
Okay. Ready when you are.
On three... One, two, push!
(GASPING)
SHAY: Okay, okay. That bought us some time. Let's get him out of here!
What is it?
Ah, nothing.
Rough shift.
Yeah.
Hey.
What are you doing for dinner tonight?
I'm doing all the cooking now that Cindy's in the home stretch so...
It's either going to be pizza or steak. It's your call.
Well, I could never turn down a Herrmann steak.
All right!
You bring the beer, all right?
I will. Thanks.
MILLS: Hey! Excuse me, Chief?
Um...
I was wondering, could I pick up a couple of shifts next week?
Maybe pull a 48?
These squad classes are breaking the bank so...
I just need the extra money.
What'd your Lieutenant say?
To check with you.
I think we can make that happen.
Yeah? I'll talk to second watch.
Thank you. Okay.
I'm not exactly one to sit on my hands, you know?
Yeah, well, you shouldn't.
Yeah, well, that's not what the CFD is advising.
I'm running out of options here, Shay.
SHAY: I'm telling you, the more I think about it,
the more I think
that she targeted you specifically.
SHAY: She knew your background
and she took what, all of two seconds to start flirting up a storm.
Anyone do a background check on her?
I've... I've been on my heels this whole time. No.
Yeah, exactly.
It's time to turn it around and go on the offensive.
DAWSON: You thinking about jumping?
Hey! Hey.
You made it. Yeah.
Bearing carbs.
I see.
What is it?
You haven't answered my question.
I know that I'm moving too fast, I...
Peter.
I love you, too.
Really?
Yeah, really.
I've just got one question for you.
Am I going to have to borrow Antonio's pick-up or are you going to help me move?
I will help you move. Yeah, that's what I thought.
ANTONIO: Hey.
Hey, man. Thanks for meeting me.
You sure you know what you're doing?
Like I told you on the phone, I'm feeling out of options.
Well.
It might be worse than you think.
I called the Assistant State's Attorney.
That Rutkowski's testimony landed
and they won't be accused of playing favorites for a firefighter.
They're going to approve criminal charges.
ANTONIO: I ran a background check on Tara Little.
She worked at an ad agency.
There were criminal charges filed and then withdrawn.
Against her? No.
A fellow employee there named Clay White.
There's an address in there.
I appreciate it.
If I was smart I'd tell you to let a lawyer handle it from here.
May I help you?
Are you Clay White?
I am.
I was told to talk to you about Tara Little?
Anything you want to say about her, you can tell to my lawyer.
Now get the hell out.
It's not like that.
I... I need your help.
I was a mid-level executive at Ramsey-Cole,
a high-end ad agency on Michigan Avenue.
Tara was one of twenty graphic designers we had on staff.
Tara and I had hit it off.
Was it inappropriate?
She was game and I wasn't married.
It was all consensual.
We had some fun but...
Went in different directions.
Ended totally civil.
Then, we lost an account.
The rumor mill started flying about downsizing.
Next thing I know, Tara makes a claim.
Says I took advantage of her, it was a "hostile work environment."
I was fired and ostracized by the whole industry.
I've got an MBA.
And this is what I do to pay my mortgage.
She got a nice settlement from what I heard.
Sounds familiar.
Would you consider coming forward?
I signed a nondisclosure agreement so she'd drop the criminal charges.
You didn't answer my question.
HALLIE: Let me take a look at it, Miranda.
(GASPS)
Wow. What happened?
MIRANDA: I was texting on my phone and I walked into a damn tree.
Oh, that's a new one.
All right. I'm going to walk you back to a bed where we can get that thumb set.
You can walk with me? Yeah.
No texting while you do it.
One second.
Thanks.
Hey.
You used to always drop by the firehouse with lunch. So...
I'm returning the favor. If you have time.
Gotcha covered.
Come on.
HALLIE: I wanna show you around. CASEY: Okay.
HALLIE: We have five beds.
But we can stuff eight in here if we need to.
CASEY: All right.
Um...
A couple of visitation rooms,
a couple of offices.
That's where we keep the meds.
This is our bathroom...
One bathroom, mind you, for all of us including the patients.
Hallie.
Oh, Steven Gooding. He started the clinic. This is my...
This is Matt. Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Listen, Hallie, do you think you could help us out
out on Sunday, maybe, uh, noon to five-ish?
Doctor Arend can't make it.
Yeah, I think so. I just have to check my schedule over at Lakeshore.
Great. Just let me know, okay? Nice to meet you, Matt.
MATT: You too. One sec.
Huh.
That's weird. What?
Uh, what?
Oh, yeah. I know about this. I'll take care of it.
Okay.
Everything good? Yeah.
I'm starving. Let's go.
You really like it here?
Yes. When I was away I remembered why I got into medicine in the first place.
I remembered a lot of things I wanted to reclaim for myself when I returned.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(VIDEO GAME DINGING)
HERRMANN: I won! Yes!
Turn that thing up! Screw the neighbors!
Uh, no, no. Doing the dishes is my specialty.
You're sweet, Wallace.
Anyway, ain't you supposed to be in bed?
You think I'm going to trust Chris alone with those monsters?
(HERRMANN LAUGHING)
Get out of here.
HERRMANN: So.
So.
Okay.
I, uh...
I think I'm losing the respect of an important man in the house.
Severide?
Between this Benny, and...
This Tara thing...
I think he thinks I'm the bad guy here.
Nah.
What's that you always say,
"Leaders lead from the front?"
Yeah.
Sounds like me.
Up front can be lonely, that's for sure.
But,
it goes with the territory, don't it?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Again.
Otis.
You ready to lay claim to your undies?
Yeah, you wish.
Just come clean, Otis. No one will judge you. This is a safe room.
You know what? No. I can't stand to look at these another shift.

We're on the Trailblazer.
He's DOA.
Ma'am, try not to move until we get you collared and braced.
I need the report to say we're just co-workers.
We were coming from a lunch when that jackass hit us.
We don't report that kind of stuff ma'am.
(GASPING) I gotta get out of here.
Ma'am, you need to remain still.

Lakeshore.
Will you call my husband and tell him you found me by myself?
Ma'am... you're going to have to take that up with the doctors at the hospital.
Hey, I'm going to need you to cover me for an hour when we get back to the station.
You got it.
You're supposed to stay away from me.
Am I?
You're finished.
You hear me?
I am about to scream so loud...
CLAY: Hi, Tara.
He can't.
He signed a... A non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement?
SEVERIDE: What else can you take away from him?
I checked with the union attorney and it turns out in cases of fraud,
the courts don't care much about those agreements.
Fraud?
Maybe we take you to criminal court.
Get testimony on the record.
Or you retract your lie,
quit this job, and we never see each other again.
Excuse me.
Yeah. Hi. Um...
Hi. I was the one that asked about the pictures.
Ah yeah, of course. How are you?
Hi. Uh, this is my husband Roger.
Hey, Roger. Hey.
And our daughter, Charlotte.
Aww...
Would you mind?
No, no problem at all. Come on Charlotte.
I'll show you around here. Come on!
HERRMANN: How old is she now?
MEREDITH: Uh, twelve.
That's incredible.
Yeah, plus today's her birthday so...
Here we are.
She's really something.
Yeah.
Hey... Do you have a few minutes, because
I think we can do a little better than a couple of photos.
Sure. Yeah?
All right.
CRUZ: Get in there. Okay.
Hey, Chief.
We got a kid's birthday party in the common room and they'd like to see you.
You tell little Danny or Billy or Leo
happy birthday from me, but I have
a mountain of paperwork that I need to get through.
This one's important, Chief.
Okay, where are the other kids?
It's not that kind of party, Chief.
CRUZ: Later I'll grab all the guys and the truck and take a picture together.
Hey.
Are you Chief Boden?
Yes, I am. And are you the birthday girl?
Yeah.
And what's your name?
Charlotte. BODEN: Charlotte.
BODEN: And how old are you, Charlotte?
CHARLOTTE: 12.
Well, Charlotte...
Happy birthday.
(BODEN CHUCKLES)
Do you recognize me?
Um...
I'm sorry, no, I don't.
Twelve years ago today
I was left on the doorstep of this firehouse.
He said you were the fireman who found me.
I always wondered what happened to you.
I was adopted. I live in Indiana now.
Look at you.
Don't you look great.
She's always wanted the truth...
CHARLOTTE: When my mom and dad told me where I came from, I had to come here.
And I am very glad that you did.
Thank you.
No, thank you, Charlotte.
Because you have made this chief...
A very man happy today.
HERRMANN: Okay.
Here we go.
(ALL SINGING) Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday dear Charlotte
Happy birthday to you!
(CHEERING)
You'll still pay a twenty dollar bounty on these briefs?
If you're ready to admit they're yours.
You want to know something curious?
I looked at the tag here.
Interesting that they're a Japanese brand of underwear, not sold in the United States.
Japanese...
The same language you've been studying.
That... That doesn't... Japanese...
The same proverbs you've been spouting for weeks!
One of which you used to fleece me out of twenty bones.
Fine.
OTIS: Thank you...
Very much.
Go ahead. Go, tell everyone... Get a good laugh.
Oh, I will. I will.
I've been dating a Japanese woman.
I'm doing everything I can to impress her
because quite frankly, I'm not getting any younger.
She mailed me the underwear as a gift, so...
That's a good sign, right?
Wait, wait. Mailed?
From where?
Well, we've been, uh...
Our relationship is, uh...
We haven't actually met yet.
An internet girlfriend?
I've talked to her on the phone. A lot.
Right, right.
How much have you spent on her?
Not much.
Yeah, a little.
Please don't bust my balls on this Otis!
Otis!
Hey. Just the man I was coming to find.
I don't know if you've heard, but miraculously,
Tara Little has quit the fire service and recanted her testimony against you.
Did she?
What'd you do?
Well, I...
You know what? I'd rather not know.
It was on the up and up, Chief. I promise you that.
Kelly.
Throughout all this,
I never doubted you.
I want you to know that.
I just had to be a Chief.
I know.
I appreciate it.
Can we talk?
Yeah.
Uh, not here.
Yeah.
Apparently it happened at a time when your mom and dad were already separated.
Boden and Ingrid...
Got together, but Boden backed away as soon as he found out
that your dad and mom might reconcile.
And I... Didn't know what to do with the information.
And I didn't think it was my place to tell you, so I just sat on it,
but the more I thought about how close we were getting,
the more I thought that maybe I should just tell you, so...
Boden and my mom?
(EXHALES)
And you knew about this how long?
Since the big banquet.
(GRUNTS)
Look, I know I should've told you sooner. I know it.
But you have to see it from my point-of-view.
Do I?
Is that what I need to do, Dawson?
Peter, I'm sorry.
If I'd known you'd have this kind of reaction,
I'd have just come right home and told you then.
But you didn't. Okay?
I didn't know...
