I need you to look me in the eye and tell me
that your mask malfunctioned on that call.
I swear to you, my mask was not working.
Rice was ducking, and no one on Squad gives a crap!
HERRMANN: Hey, hey, hey! (ALL CLAMORING)
SEVERIDE: You need to get your guys in line.
That's always a great move, drawing lines between Truck and Squad.
Yeah, and you better keep Truck on their side of the fence.
Your buddy, Jack Nesbitt. He's into some nasty business.
These guys traffic eastern European women against their will.
Tell me how I can help.
Behind the battery, listening device.
Let me see your phone.
(BEEPING)
He's clear.
Unbelievable.
Let's get Matt a drink here.
I'm fine.
Okay. We're opening five more clubs and our investors want to know
if you'll accept cash.
We're also willing to allow an extra five percent in markups
if you do the work off book.
I know this sounds a little shady,
but it's all about our cash-on-hand right now...
What happened? We lost you?
Your wire's in the toilet. You're welcome to dig it out.
Something didn't feel right. So I ducked into the bathroom and flushed it.
Good thing, they frisked me.
Opened up the back, the works.
Damn.
(EXHALES)
They're worried about ATF.
ATF?
I'll look into it. They talked about cash for construction.
Didn't say a word to me about anything illegal.
Casey. This is a process.
These guys are smart.
We regroup, hit 'em again. Just gotta have patience.
You did good.
I got a confession to make.
Yeah?
I can be a jerk.
That's about right, yeah.
Look, I know the rumors that fly around CFD about me.
And the ones that fly around here. I'm no ducker, Kelly.
Man to man, I can do this job.
I shouldn't have said what I said to you the other day
about our friendship.
I was frustrated, and...
Look, I apologize.
I got your back, you know that.
Yeah, I know. Yeah. More than anyone.
What?
What what?
You haven't said two words to me all morning.
Now I'm not allowed to be contemplative and asocial?
No, you're not. You're supposed to be dense and lovable.
Dense? In a lovable way.
I am not dense.
Fair enough. But it's anti-social, not asocial.
The most I'd done up to that point was, uh, under the sweater over bra.
And, uh...
So, um... So Severide and I, we, uh, we hatch a plan...
What're you gonna do about Rice?
What's that mean?
No one is gunning for him here.
And if Otis thinks he's ducking, then...
He wasn't ducking.
You wanna believe that, fine.
But 51 isn't 51 right now and it's because of him. That's a fact.
Casey. Drop it.
(ALARM BUZZING)
DISPATCHER OVER PA: Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61.
Gas leak. 6111 South Mayfield.
(SIRENS BLARING)
There's a smell of gas coming from 6111.
An elderly woman by the name of Edna Miller lives there,
but she's out of town for the week.
I can smell it from here.
Anyone else live here?
Just her and her dog.
There's no shutoff outside. It must be in the basement.
Truck 81 to Main. We need the gas company to 6111 South Mayfield. ASAP.
DISPATCHER OVER RADIO: Message received, Truck 81.
Hey, guys. Grab your mask and a four-gas monitor.
We'll go to the rear, check levels.
Take readings in front.
Got it.
(WHIRRING)
(BEEPING)
We're over 100% of lower explosive limit. Oxygen is under 19%.
Should we vent?
No, no, hold up.
The only reason why this place hasn't exploded yet
is the gas is too rich to burn.
Oh, my God! Is Edna okay?
Uh, ma'am, it's fine. It's just a gas leak.
Mailman said the lady is out of town.
No, she's in there. She came home last night!
Uh... Hey. Uh, Squad 3 to Main.
What's the ETA on the gas company?
DISPATCHER OVER RADIO: 10 minutes out.
Hey. Let's go get her.
Yeah?
Mask up. We are going in.
Here.
Hey, Casey, there's a woman inside. We're going in.
Severide, do not enter. We're getting high readings here.
This place will explode.
SEVERIDE: (OVER RADIO) Negative, we're going in.
LEL readings are high. Wait for the gas company.
Ready? Let's do this.
Tony, hit it! Go!
SEVERIDE: We're in.
We need to get into the basement and shut off the gas before
Squad blows this place to hell.
I got this.
HERRMANN: All right, Otis. You gotta move fast! Strike!
You gotta move, Severide! You're running out of time.
(SIREN WAILING)
FIREMAN: Truck, stand by!
CASEY: Gas levels are high.
Squad's around back and Severide's inside, looking for a woman.
Are you kidding me?
I've got Otis inside looking for the meter to shut off the gas.
BODEN: Capp, what's the status?
We're in the explosive range, Chief.
Severide, Otis, get out now!
Not good, not good. This place is going to go, Lieutenant.
Chief, we need to pull back!
OTIS: (OVER RADIO) I found the gas meter. Gas is off!
Take the windows.
(EXCLAIMS)
Hey, you okay, bud? Yeah.
Her lungs sound good. Okay.
Well, what was that?
Truck and Squad, right? You just do what the hell you want now.
You could've killed us by venting in there, you know that.
Otis shutting off the gas and us venting
is the only reason this whole house didn't explode.
Otis is the elevator guy.
What the hell was he doing in the house at all?
Stop!
Pack up the gear, get back to quarters right now.
(FIREFIGHTERS MURMURING)
Otis. What're you doing?
Just sitting with my brothers, Lieutenant.
I thought this was Firehouse 51. Not the kingdom of Squad 3.
We need gas. Let's load back up.
(DOORS SLAMMING)
(ENGINE STARTS)
Cruz. Pull up a chair, man.
Yeah, sure.
Jessica, package for you.
You know, you can call me Chili.
(CHUCKLES) No.
Oh, my God.
It's here.
Okay! Let's see that baby.
Okay, I can't.
All right!
Hey, easy!
It's okay! I got it. I got it. I got it.
Careful.
Look at that.
You wanna give it a whirl?
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
(AIR HISSING)
Whoa.
That's so cool.
To Chilleeze!
And?
It works. It really works! It really works!
That's real champagne.
I know!
(STUTTERS) And it's cold.
That's kinda the point, Mouch!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Oh, this is gonna be huge. And I've been thinking about this a lot.
And there's just one piece of the puzzle that's gonna put this over the edge.
Celebrity spokesperson.
I've seen it all since I've been here.
Haven't always dealt with it with the grace and the class that I would like, but I try.
We have all this animosity.
You can't have animosity in a house, it's a killer.
But what do I tell them?
Get in their faces, tell 'em stop acting like a bunch of damn babies?
Or do I give yet another speech about togetherness and family?
I don't know, Donna.
I'm beginning to wonder if I can still lead this house.
They stopped listening.
Wallace. Hey.
Why are you using words when you have you?
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Sorry to bother you, Chief, but Lieutenant Casey has something
he needs to talk to you about. Says it's important.
Hey, Chief.
What's going on?
The construction job Casey is on,
we're investigating the club for human trafficking, money laundering.
We've tried to squeeze some UCs in there, but, no dice.
They want me wired up so we can get these guys on tape.
You're putting one of my men undercover?
He's been a valuable asset. Believe me, we got his back.
Chief, the girl I know who works there, she's scared of something.
And Jack Nesbitt gives all firefighters a bad name.
If I can help, I wanna help.
I want to take next shift off.
I can make a difference here.
Okay. Do what you gotta do.
Hey, man. You know, I just want you to know,
uh, whatever happens out there, or in here, or whatever...
Am I really just the elevator guy?
Of course not.
Does everybody think that, or just the Squad a-holes?
Otis, man, don't. God, I can't stand those guys.
Hey! Otis! Wait up. Hey! Yeah?
We need a good elevator man.
How long is Truck gonna keep this up?
I don't have time for this right now.
Yeah, make time.
I don't mind catching flack, and I don't mind confrontation.
What I do mind is a bunch of guys making false accusations
and trying to railroad one of my men out of here.
One of your old friends, you mean.
That has nothing to do with it.
That has everything to do with this!
You're blind, because of your friendship with this guy.
Okay. You're looking the other way and letting him skate.
I'm not blind, Casey. I'm just not gonna go pissing on a firefighter
who has proven himself.
Did you even check his story?
No, I didn't check his story. I take him at his word.
CASEY: There it is, right there.
The gospel according to Severide.
You know what? Honestly? Go screw yourself. I'm sick of it.
Maybe you ought to listen to the guy who took you in when you were on your ass.
Yeah, I liked that guy a whole lot better
when he wasn't a sanctimonious prick.
Hey, hey. Come on, forget him.
Squad doesn't own this house.
And I would listen to Otis over Rice all day long.
Yeah. What's wrong?
Nothing. I just I feel terrible.
It's just the weather, it's been up and down.
It's got my system all messed up.
Okay. Well, I'm off next shift, so if you gotta call in sick,
let Boden know ASAP.
Police business? Yeah.
You being careful?
Oh, yeah. You know me.
Yeah, that's the problem. I do know you.
Anything? Don't you think I would tell you if I saw something?
I saw something.
(WHISPERING) Scottie Pippen! Ooh.
(BUZZING)
(ALARM RINGING)
Hi, I'm a paramedic for the Chicago Fire Department.
Is anybody hurt down there?
Wow. That was fast. No, I'm fine.
Okay, great. Well, we're working on the problem out here.
Thanks.
Mr. Pippen, I gotta tell you, I've been a huge fan of yours for years.
Thanks!
Yeah! I've seen nearly every goal you ever scored.
Goal?
So, tell me, Mr. Pippen, how do you feel about perfectly chilled champagne?
What the hell is going on here?
He's in.
Ah!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Hello?
I gotta tell you the truth here, Jack.
I'm feeling more and more like I'm walking into some dark alleys.
If something is going on, I don't want any part of it.
What do you think is going on?
I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
(DOOR OPENS)
Matt! Give us a minute, please.
(CHUCKLES) Hey. Relax, man. Please. Come on.
This is SOP in the nightclub business.
Especially in Chicago. Shakedowns, scrutiny, it's all part of it.
I used to get worked up about it just like you, but now...
Your backers seem a little more concerned.
Oh. These Eastern European guys think everyone's a boogeyman.
Let me ask you something, Matt. You been approached?
By who? You tell me.
ATF? CPD?
No.
You sure?
I need to know that you're not running your mouth outside these walls.
Jack. You know what I'm running?
A construction crew.
Okay. Well, listen.
We have, uh, one more meeting with my partners.
Can you come back up here tomorrow, say 5:00 p.m.?
Yeah. Sure. Great, I'll see you then.
All right. I'll walk out with you.
Actually, I'd like to speak with you, Katya.
I'll see you, Matt. Five o'clock.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hey, bud, you seen Jerry?
Jerry!
Kelly! How you been?
I'm good! How's your old man?
He's, uh... Ah, you know him, he's the same.
I could tell you some stories.
Yeah, I've heard 'em all. Listen, one of my guys brought in a regulator
a few shifts ago. I was just wondering how it looked.
51, right? Yeah.
There's nothing come through here from 51.
We got maybe a K-12 saw.
That was seven, eight months ago.
No, I'm talking about a regulator.
No, I understand. Didn't come through here.
You sure?
Birthdays, anniversaries. Those I forget.
Equipment serviced here? Never.
No one from 51 dropped off a regulator, Kelly.
Shut the door.
I went to Air Mask and spoke to Jerry.
You never took your regulator in.
Uh, sure I did.
No, you didn't. And you lied to my face.
No... Don't, don't.
You're off Squad 3, effective immediately.
What? That's it? You don't wanna hear my side? You have a side?
Look, since Angie died, it's, uh...
I'm all Logan's got, Kelly.
And after the Chicago Med incident,
you know, I started to think about him and what if he lost both of us? Hmm?
He'd be an orphan.
With no one to raise him.
Scott, there's a lot of men with families in the CFD.
But everyone, when they report for this job, puts it all out there.
Everyone.
You weren't ready, Scott.
You just weren't.
That's it?
Pink slip and see you later?
Yeah.
(SIGHS)
Okay, everybody, listen up.
Scott Rice has just been dismissed from Firehouse 51.
And I am not gonna kick a man while he is down, so...
Leave it to say, his family situation got in the way of his work here.
So, Cruz, will you stand up here for me, please?
It's recently been reported to me
that Joe Cruz completed his Squad Certification last week.
What?
Since we now have an opening, it is my honor to welcome Joe Cruz to Squad 3.
Joe...
Make us proud.
Thank you, Chief. I will. I promise.
What the hell are you doing, man?
Brian, you are now the driver of Truck 81.
Since Casey's gone, uh, who's gonna be Acting Lieutenant?
I am. Anybody got an issue with that?
Good.
(ALARM BUZZING)
DISPATCHER OVER PA: Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61,
Truck 64, Truck 70, Ambulance 96... BODEN: Here we go.
Warehouse fire, 1400 North Cordon Street.
What? You couldn't have said something?
After all this, you're joining them.
Otis, you driving or what?
Yeah, let's go.
(SIRENS BLARING)
Hey, Cruz, do your job.
(SIRENS WAILING)
Chief Weiss, where are we?
Wallace and company's in there doing search and rescue on civilians,
but we lost control of the fire.
You evacuate?
I ordered it, but two from Truck 65 haven't made it out.
Two civilians unaccounted for too, Chief.
Right. Severide! Breach the north door,
see if you can reach the two from Truck 65.
You got two minutes, tops.
All right, let's grab a line and head in. Cruz, stay on Tony's hip.
Copy.
Truck 81, with me. Recon the perimeter. Let's find another way in!
MAN: Help!
Help!
MAN: Help!
Hang tight! We're coming in.
This opening's too small.
I'll go!
SEVERIDE: Hey, where are the civilians?
They're further in.
Cruz! CRUZ: Yeah, got him.
SEVERIDE: Guys, get him out of here. Get him on air.
CAPP: Copy that!
Get on the floor.
All right. Two pulls when you're ready, got it?
Copy that.
Okay. Let's get this window off.
SEVERIDE: (OVER RADIO) Squad's coming out with the two firefighters.
We need a medic!
Two tugs. Let's get her out.
Okay.
(GASPING)
BODEN: Dawson, where are you?
DAWSON: Chief, the room's lighting up.
I can't get back to the window.
Heading to the front.
To the front, now!
Cruz, where's Severide?
He went for the civilians. It's too late, Chief.
(ALARM BLARING)
(GASPING)
Chief, Chief, I'm out of air.
Chief, my tank is empty.
Everybody stop. Stop! No matter what happens, no one from House 51,
they go into that building.
This is not a democracy!
I am in charge! Do you understand?
We hear you.
Good!
Chief!
(LABORED BREATHING)
Hey, Dawson! Hey! What the hell are you doing?
This guy is unconscious!
(LABORED BREATHING)
This guy, he's unconscious. Here.
(SEVERIDE COUGHS)
He's not unconscious, Dawson, he's dead! No, no, he was breathing.
He's gone, Dawson. Come on. You tried your best. Let's go.
Get up! Come on!
Stay low. Yeah.
Hey, in here!
(COUGHING)
Dawson!
(COUGHING)
DAWSON: We're out of air.
What do you think? Won't deliver enough water to get us out of here.
Yeah, but we can get some air from it, right?
Yeah.
That's it! I'm calling it.
Wheatley, get ready to hit the building from the river.
Tower ladders, on my signal!
That will cook anyone in there!
There's no way they have any air left.
And that hose line isn't big enough to get 'em out.
I'm cutting off the water and sending it to the tower ladder.
Chief, they could be alive and breathing off that hose for all we know!
I'm not looking for opinions, son.
Well, then you take my badge, Chief.
You take my uniform, you take my pension, whatever you want,
but you are not shutting down that line!
Chief, give 'em two more minutes, please.
Can't do it.
Then you're gonna have to go through me.
Cut the water going inside.
All engine companies, hit the building.
No! No, no! No! You can't do that! You'll roast them!
All right. Come on. You'll roast them! No!
(GASPING)
(COUGHING)
Hey! Hey, hey!
(COUGHING)
They think we're cooked.
I'm sorry.
(COUGHING)
Severide! Dawson!
(CLANGING)
Chief, you okay?
I'm fine.
Yeah. Chief.
You okay?
Thank you.
Chief Tiberg.
It has been brought to my attention, Wallace, that one of your firefighters
threatened Battalion Chief Dan Weiss with violence at the blaze today.
I need a name, Chief. Now.
(EXHALES)
I did it. No, Otis.
Yep, it was me. No, it was me.
Well, who was it?
SEVERIDE: It was me.
I did it, Chief.
I did it.
It was me.
I did it.
What is this?
You don't think I can find out who it was?
Yeah, I do. But I gotta ask.
Why the hell would you want to?
Firehouse 51!
(ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
Come here. Come here.
Oh, my God! A call like that, all that intensity?
I've seen it a million times, someone's totally hooking up tonight.
What? No!
Volcanoes need to let off steam.
And this place has been a volcano for weeks.
Trust me.
All right, okay, as much as it pains me,
everybody gets one free drink at Molly's tonight! Yay!
ALL: Yeah!
You know Doug Purcell in the 28th? Uh-huh.
Well, he's got a time share in the Bahamas and if he doesn't use it...
Oh! Whoa! What's that about the Bahamas now?
Hey, a buddy of mine's got a time share in Nassau.
He's gotta use it for a week in June, or he loses the deposit.
How many slots you got open?
Are you interested?
I'm interested.
Here we go.
Thanks.
Hey, you... You weren't worried, were you, Dawson?
Oh, no! With a big strong Squad guy there to save me? Of course not.
You've, um, you heard from Casey?
I tried his cell, but he hasn't called me back.
Oh, did you tell him to get his ass down here?
Yeah, those were my exact words, actually.
This is gonna be weird.
You really gonna sit at the Squad table?
He worked hard. Nights, weekends.
And he was willing to give it all up today for his brothers.
Hey, what you did today...
Spartacus would've been proud.
Why didn't you tell me, man?
I didn't know how to.
After Sylvie and me broke up, I just...
I had to challenge myself.
Okay. Hey.
You're my best friend, Brian.
You mean more to me than...
Well, my own family.
I didn't wanna do anything to blow that.
Besides, I didn't think I was gonna make Squad anyway.
Then I'll tell you what I would've told you
if you would've told me sooner.
Of course you belong on Squad, man.
Congratulations. Seriously.
And now I get to drive the truck!
(LAUGHING)
Whoa! Whoa, hey! Hold it down!
Hold, hold it down, please! Shut up! Hey!
WOMAN ON TV: This instant chilling system is the go-anywhere answer for
Champagne lovers around the world.
There's a new pop star in town from Chateau Saint Laurent,
the premiere Champagne house in the world.
They beat us to the market.
That's my dad's idea.
Oh, my God! This has to be a joke!
Hey, hey, kid, listen.
He was working on that for years.
I've put everything that I have into this.
And we're gonna work just as hard on the next one.
I see something in you.
You got passion, you got grit, you got desire.
We just need to find an idea that nobody's gonna copy.
And I know we're gonna find one.
And when we do, you're gonna knock it out of the park, okay?
Oh! You're a good kid.
Otis, can you get rid of these pickles?
Sure. What's up?
The smell's making me wanna vomit.
Hey, uh, I gotta run out for a minute.
You okay?
You have a lot of energy.
Yeah.
I've been... A volcano.
(EXHALES)
Please, please, please, please, please.

Matt?
Matt, are you home?
