Severide! You need to pull her up! Pull!
Previously on Chicago Fire...
I'm gonna push to fast-track Peter Mills to Squad.
Why's it so important to you?
'Cause I want to be an elite firefighter, sir.
And this has got nothing to do with your father? This is about me.
Can we talk?
Boden and my mom? And you knew about this how long?
I wish you would have told me when you found out.
It wasn't my business. It was your business. I was your boyfriend.
Was? I think I need some time.
Stabilize that car so you can get that woman out.
Ma'am, you need to remain still.
I've been dating a Japanese woman. We haven't actually met yet.
An Internet girlfriend?
Part of me feels horrible because of what Casey's going through.
Here I am with butterflies in my stomach
because I'm getting ready to go get pregnant...
Hallie!
Let me ask you something.
What kind of equipment do you use for your podcast?
Oh, the podcast you call "Dummy Vision"? Now you're interested?
All right, listen. The baby's due in a couple of weeks,
and Cindy, she wants me to set up a video journal or something.
You got a video camera I can use?
Herrmann, you got a high-def camera on your phone.
Why don't you just take some footage? I'll edit it for you.
Ah... Thank you, Otis. Yeah. All right.
Ladies' night specials? You're kidding me.
See? I told you she'd be pissed. You know why? 'Cause it's sexist!
Yeah, sexist against men! It just feels a little desperate.
Oh, look at the new shop!
Great. Great! Now there's going to be construction traffic
that's going to clog up the block?
Hey, easy, negative Nancy. This is gonna be good for us.
You know, it's probably going to be a bunch of new condos, or nature food places.
I told you guys, the neighborhood, it's up and coming. Yup.
You're messing with me. No! Women love it.
You would not believe how many nerve endings are...
Morning, Lieutenant.
Don't stop with the sex advice on my account.
How you doing? You know, just taking it day by day.
Lieutenant...
I'm fine, really.
If there's anything I can do...
Thanks, man.
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Leslie Shay. Did you get your blood drawn this morning? Yeah.
Yeah? Where are you in your cycle? Um, I'm a day late.
I didn't want to take a home test, 'cause they're not 100%,
so Kelly and I went to the doctor and they're gonna call us later with the results.
Oh, my God. I get to throw the baby shower, right?
Don't jinx this! It's too soon to be talking about that stuff.
You and Mills ignoring each other? Uh, not completely. I mean,
we pass each other in the halls and say "Good morning," "See you later."
You were trying to protect him. He's crazy if he can't forgive you.
Well, you've got to be able to trust the person you're with, right?
And if you can't...
Mills! Wanted to give you a heads-up.
Boden got word squad decisions are being made today.
This could be your last shift on truck.
Hey, Severide, I got something for ya.
What the hell is this?
It's a pregnancy pillow.
Cindy used it up until the seventh month. It helps with back issues and whatnot.
You give that to Shay when the time comes, and you will be her hero.
Okay. Thanks.
All right. Hey, having a kid is the best thing you'll ever do.
Yeah, that's what I hear.
Squad 3, Truck 81, Engine 51, Ambulance 61, Battalion 25.
Structure fire, 3015 South California Avenue.
Don't worry, Mills. These kind of calls usually aren't too serious.
What kind of calls?
- Up against the curb! - You in charge?
Facility director, Rick Esposito. Okay, what are we looking at?
We got smoke in Pod Four, a dorm area we set up for overcrowding.
Are you evacuating? Well, I pulled most of my staff out,
but I think it's best we don't move the inmates.
We have vents that'll draw away the smoke.
Have the sprinklers turned on? Inmates were turning them on to cause trouble,
so I had 'em deactivated. Will you turn them back on now, please? Right now.
Find Roy. Tell him to turn the sprinklers back on.
Casey, build a small team together to go inside.
Severide, I want Squad standing by for RIT rescue.
RIT Rescue? Rapid intervention team.
All right. Cruz, Herrmann, Mills... leave your irons.
Bring your pry ax, pike pole, two silver bullets, a one-and-three-quarter hose.
Back off! Come on, follow me.
What the hell you looking at?
Mills, keep your eyes open and your back to the wall.
And don't take any lip from anybody. Got it?
I wanted to thank you for not spilling the beans about my ladyfriend in Japan.
Your steamy online affair's still going? As a matter of fact,
Mari lands at O'Hare tomorrow. We're finally going to meet.
Mary? That doesn't sound very Japanese.
M-A-R-I.
Now, did "Mary" ask you to carry anything back to Japan for her?
Or, you know, make deliveries of any kind here in the States?
Right. Understand. I'll let Herrmann know.
Christopher Herrmann, can you read me? What's up, Chief?
Cindy just went into labor. Her folks are bringing her to Lakeshore right now.
How 'bout that? For once in her life, a woman's early.
I'm sending someone in to come get you right now.
Nah. That'll take too long and we're almost there. I can smell the smoke.
Master Control, what do you see in Pod Four overflow?
Can't see anything, too much smoke. Let's go, let's go.
We gotta get into Pod Four overflow now! Copy that.
Mills, locate a standpipe. Yeah.
What happened to the exhaust unit? I don't know.
Get back! On the floor!
All right! Get down! Back up! Get low, and let these guys work! On the floor!
We've gotta get these guys out of here!
I got to clear that through Master Control! Then clear it!
Man down! Man down! Lieutenant, this guy's hurt!
I said back off!
We gotta get this guy out. We can't wait for permission!
Okay, who started the fire?
This is Lucci again. We're coming out with an injured guy!
Cruz, clear off that vent!
Got it! Herrmann!
He's all yours, candidate!
Hey, I need your help, man. We got to put pressure on his wounds. Hey, I need your help!
Put pressure on these! Come on!
Stay down, stay down, all right?
Chief, we got a victim in here with multiple stab wounds.
Mills, can you transport the victim out? No, negative, Chief!
Bleeding's too heavy. Hang tight, Mills.
Shay and Dawson are on their way in to you.
I'll grab the bag, you grab the chair. Okay.
Stay down, buddy. Keep holding him.
Hey, what's wrong with you, huh? You want to die?
Knock it off! Where the hell's Lucci?
We're going to get you to a hospital, okay? Hang in there.
Hey, what's your name? What's your name? Bite me.
His name's Randall.
Get the flames out!
- I'm out! - Yeah, me too!
- Stay back. - Get going!
Lucci, where you at? Up here!
Hey there, you got a name?
Yeah. It's Randall. What's yours, sweetheart?
Now you change your tune, right?
Ah. Okay.
We got stab wounds to the thorax, left flank, left, right abdomen.
Right. Get me gauze. Lots. Yep.
Hey, I got to get back in there to my lieutenant, man.
Fojas, you got this? Yeah.
Open up Pod Four. Give us a few seconds, Lucci. Stand by.
All right. This is going to hurt.
What's going to hurt, baby?
- You don't feel this? - No.
How's your back feel, Randall? Did you take a fall during that scuffle?
Forget the stair chair. He's not going anywhere without a backboard.
Okay. I got to get out. I can't leave her alone with him.
Mills, stick with Dawson. Let's go.
Okay, we're done. Let's go.
Amen to that.
Oh, this ain't good.
Hey guys, what's going on with the power here? We'd really like to get out of here now.
We have no way to open that door.
I advise you let yourself into the pod and wait for a power reset.
This way.
Deeper into this hellhole?
Okay, let's go. All right, it's going to be a minute, now.
We got a power outage, Shay, stand by.
Dawson and Mills are alone in there, Chief. We got to get back inside.
You can't. The perimeter doors failsafe to a locked position.
Don't you have a backup generator?
It's not a problem with the grid. The system just shut itself down.
It will reset soon. Hold tight.
Get me the blueprints to this prison. We need to find a way out for my guys.
Okay, this is creepy as hell.
All right, Lucci can move about within the pod,
but every point of exit is remotely operated, which requires power.
Is anyone trying to get the power back?
Well, Roy, my facilities guy, he went down to the basement
to deal with the sprinklers and now he's trapped.
We're trying to reach our other guy, but he's off-site today.
Do you have an emergency plan to get my firefighters out of there?
My emergency response team is ready to go, but until the power's back up...
Hello?
Lovely clientele you have here.
Yeah, smoke up the place just to conceal a shivving.
They did it by tampering with an outlet. Must be what overloaded the system.
Don't worry, it'll reset itself. Any minute now.
Hey, Chief, this is Mills. Any idea how much longer this is going to be?
Our victim is bleeding out in here.
Just do what you can for him, Mills. We'll get you out as soon as we possibly can.
We are not waiting anymore. Do what you got to do, Chief.
Get them out, Lieutenant. Yup.
Was that the doctor? Yeah. It didn't take.
Damn.
It's official. We're trapped until further notice.
Nice.
Hey, hey! Easy, player. You want me to finish what those guys started?
Hey, Randall. Randall, you with me? Hey!
That sound.
Yeah, that's stridor. He's got a hematoma pressing on his trachea.
We need to intubate. All right.
Come on! No, he's fighting me. Um, we gotta do a nasotracheal intubation.
Get me a size seven ET tube.
Have you done this before? In the OR room, in training.
Okay, hold his head back for me, do not let him move
and keep that flashlight on his face.
Come on...
Boy, they don't make this easy, do they? That's kind of the idea.
Well, the bolt's pretty hard to get to. I'm gonna take the hinges instead.
Shield.
Chief, you got any updates on Cindy?
Shay.
Shay's going to call the hospital right now. Hang on in there, Herrmann.
Thanks, Chief.
Hello. Can I get an update on Cindy Herrmann up in Maternity?
Hey, guys? Close that door?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, what the hell is this?
We'll check upstairs. Come on, move back. What are you guys doing out here?
We were getting smoked out. Corbett opened the cells.
So where's Corbett? He just opened up your cells and left?
Corbett, where are you, buddy? You got a little bit of explaining to do.
There's smoke here, too.
Chief, we got a second fire smoldering somewhere in the HVAC system.
Probably an electrical fire caused by the inmates tampering with the outlet.
Copy that, 81. See if you can locate that fire.
Severide, you making any progress?
Hey, Chief, just finishing the first door now, but we're going through a lot of blades.
Security studs? You watched me cut through all these hinges
and you didn't tell me that they got security studs?
I didn't build the place.
Hey, Capp, prep the torch. We've got to cut through this bolt after all.
All right, you got it.
Is it in? Ah, I think so.
Attach the ambu bag, give me a few breaths. Here.
I can't... I don't know, I can't tell if it's in the trachea or not,
I hear breathing sounds everywhere. I gotta get in there to see.
Yeah, that might work. Hold that steady. Uh-huh.
Okay hand me that stylet.
If the tube's in the right place, we'll see the light shining through his skin.
Oh, Gabby, Gabby! It's in!
Oh, my God.
Chief, if the fire is electrical it might be keeping the power from resetting.
We should try shutting down the cell block circuit.
Got it. Keep looking for that fire.
If it gets out of control, we will not be able to evacuate.
Hey, Chief. Any news about Cindy?
Stand by, Herrmann.
The baby is in distress. They have to do an emergency C-section.
No news yet, Christopher.
Esposito, where's your substation?
ComEd should have someone over here in about 40 minutes.
But if you want to give it a shot, the substation and and switchgear box
are on the east side.
Go.
Don't worry, Herrmann, we'll get out of here.
Hey, Lucci, is this some kind of maintenance access? Yeah.
Thanks.
Whoa!
This guy's cold. Chief, we got a real bad situation here.
We've got an officer down. Looks like his throat's been cut.
He's dead. Bled out.
Corbett!
Where are his keys? Hey! Hey! They got his keys!
Hey!
Holy cow. What happened to the old-fashioned fuse box?
Do you remember the power outage at the Superbowl?
We're the guys everyone's waiting on to fix it. Great, no pressure.
Hey! Who did it, huh? Which one of you scumbags did it?
On the floor! On the floor, now!
Get down! On the floor, now!
Everybody! Let's go!
Got it? I got it!
Hey, Chief, we're through the first door, maybe we should turn back
and start cutting our way to Casey.
Negative. That would take too long. You keep going. Find Mills and Dawson.
Copy.
This whole thing with Boden and your mom...
I messed up, but I had good intentions.
I appreciate that.
So maybe we put it past us and start over?
Day one, clean slate, right here?
You want a clean slate?
You just tell me, honestly, that you don't have feelings for Casey.
You tell me that, and this right here becomes day one.
Dawson, Mills, you in there?
You! Acevedo! You did it? No! No, man!
Then tell me who did, or you're going down!
You're all going down for this!
Everybody just take it easy.
On the floor!
Whoa, whoa, hey! Nobody move. Nobody move.
Back off! You understand me?
You're going down, Rios. Hard!
Everybody just take it easy.
You think you're going to get away with this 'cause the cameras are down? No way!
Back off! And you, get us out of this smoke.
Hey. Lucci. Here's what we do. Is there some place we can move these guys?
You want to move these lowlifes?
Yeah, let's get out of the smoke, give them some place they can calm down a bit.
Lucci!
Okay. We can move them to the chapel.
All right.
Everybody just take it easy. All right!
We're heading to the to the chapel.
One of the inmates has a knife to Herrmann's throat.
You tell them we have a hostage situation and they have got one of my men!
Their guy's still a half hour away. We don't have half an hour!
Now, there has got to be somebody at ComEd who can talk us through this procedure.
They're not familiar with our setup.
He's barely hanging on.
Chief, victim's on his way out to you.
Thank you, Severide. Now you get to the basement and the quicker, the better.
'Cause apparently, this facilities guy is the only one who can get the power back up.
Come on.
Okay? Smoke's not so bad in here.
Let's talk. Now. Now let my man go.
Uh-uh.
Rios.
My guy there, he's got a baby on the way.
He's got four more kids at home. Let him go.
Fine. You want a hostage?
I'll be your hostage. Casey, don't.
But you let my man go. Don't.
I don't want you. Then what do you want? Huh?
I want him.
I'm going down, might as well finish what I started.
I am not handing someone over so you can kill them.
Then you ain't getting your man back.
Hey, yo, mister fireman! You want to trade or what?
Huh?
How do you reason with these guys? Reason with them?
They're animals, they just don't like their zookeeper.
Do not leave his side, Fojas.
Gabby.
I can't tell you what you need to hear. It wouldn't be the truth.
I'm sorry.
Hello? Roy? Anybody down here?
Over here!
Down here! I'm trapped! Help! Hey, Chief, we found facilities Roy.
Good news. Get his ass out here.
We're out of cutting rods. Damn it.
Hey, can you talk someone through resetting the electrical system?
That's against union rules.
There's a firefighter being held hostage. I think they'll give you a pass.
Chief, he's going to relay instructions.
Mouch, Otis, you listening?
Yeah, we're ready.
Uh, first, uh, look at the indicator panel on the switchgear.
Make sure that it's green. That means it's ready for operation.
Okay, look at the indicator on the switchgear panel and make sure that it's green.
And then it's ready for operation.
Looking for an indicator. You see a green indicator? Is that it? Where is it?
Right here! Right here!
Okay, got it. Go ahead.
Got the report, is the airway secure?
Think so. Sats are 100%.
Nasotracheal intubation. Get him to room one.
Excuse me, I need the status of a patient up in maternity. Cindy Herrmann.
Casey.
The power reset's going to take a minute, but Otis and Mouch have their instructions.
Thanks.
Hey, Severide, if you're still in the basement,
see if you can locate the supply duct for Pod Four.
You got it.
Yo, what are you talking to him about, huh? Huh?
We still have a fire burning in the vent system somewhere.
I'm trying to put it out before the smoke kills all of us! What do you think?
Casey...
Can Herrmann hear me?
Yeah, what's up, Chief?
Go ahead, Shay.
Christopher. They performed an emergency C-section on Cindy.
It's a baby boy.
There were some complications. The baby's in ICU.
Back up! I don't care about no damn baby!
Are they okay? Is everyone okay?
I'm trying to get more details.
Back away!
Hold them off!
Come on! In here!
Lucci, you ain't coming out of here alive!
Severide! Did you find that supply duct?
Yeah, good call, Casey. We got the fire, we're putting it out now.
No, not yet! We need the smoke. There should be a smoke damper.
It should have closed when the fire alarms went off.
You, Lucci! I'll kill you!
Smoke damper! Severide! Right there!
We got it! Okay, break the linkage on the damper and open it manually.
Hurry! Otis, Mouch! Get that power up! We need the fan to start blowing!
Damper's open!
Otis, Mouch! Where's the power?
Uh, it's coming up, uh, momentarily.
All right! The fan is going, Casey!
Power's back up. Get my men out. Go!
Rios! Rios! Let me and my firefighters go! You can have Lucci.
We're not dying for him! Just let us go! Deal.
Come on out, Lucci!
Thank you.
Herrmann, it's the hospital.
Yeah, this is Christopher Herrmann. What's happening?
Uh-huh? Okay, yeah. Got it, I'm on my way, I'll be right there.
They said the baby's not getting enough oxygen. Get him out of here!
My wife, Cindy Herrmann, and my baby boy?
310. But sir!
Christopher. Cindy.
What... What happened, honey?
Oh.
Say hello to your son!
Oh, man.
Hey! Oh!
Look at him. He's beautiful.
We got a real good one here, huh?
- Hey, Pops. - Isn't he cute?
Hey! Oh, my God.
Look at this boy.
What do you think, Chief?
Fantastic.
Boden.
Herrmann, this kid's the cutest thing I've ever seen. He's so perfect.
Even with that W.C. Fields face? Who's that?
Mills? Can I talk to you?
I just got a call from the higher-ups.
Unfortunately, you did not make Squad this time around.
These things are political. New names float to the top of the list.
This is not a reflection on you, or your hard work.
I have seen men brood, lose focus when they didn't make it into Squad.
I'm hoping that you can rise above all that.
You keep working hard, you keep up with the latest training methods,
and I am sure your chance is going to come back around.
It's good to hear.
So, anything else?
No. That's all.
You got something you want to say?
No.
I'm going to take him back to the room, all right?
Oh, hey, hey, hey! You guys?
Cindy wants to see you for a minute, okay?
Hey there.
Come here, you guys.
Congrats. Thank you.
Knock it off.
So, Cindy and I wanted to know if you, well...
We were hoping that...
We want you to be Kenny's godparents.
You don't have to answer right now. I'd be honored!
Yeah. Hell yeah, man. Me, too. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
What the hell?
Is your finger blocking that circle on top?
'Cause that's the camera, honey...
Cindy, I know that.
Oh. Oops.
Your ma's kind of a control freak.
Christopher!
But you'll learn quick. We do whatever the lady says, so
she wants me to impart some wisdom to you to start you off right, and so here we go.
Day one. Little Kenny James Herrmann.
It was kind of a rough one, at least until you came along.
You've got to be kidding me.
A bunch of us took some whacks today,
but that's the way it goes sometimes.
You might as well hear it now.
I'd like an application, please.
You came along and you made a lot of people really happy.
Not just your old man.
Konnichiwa.
You're a lucky guy.
You were born into a really big family.
A lot of people are going to have your back, no matter what.
Casey?
Nothing...
It doesn't make sense.
I know.
Like I said, it's not going to be all sunshine and roses...
But I can promise it's going to be a hell of a ride.
You okay? Mmm-hmm.
You sure? Yeah.
Renee.
Hi.
I didn't... I didn't know that you'd be in town.
Well, I just wanted to tell you in person.
