- Atropine and benzos cross the placenta.
I'm not going to expose my baby
to a known risk for a theoretical one.
- You know what else will put the baby at risk?
You going into respiratory failure.
- It's not gonna happen. - You don't know that, Hannah!
We have no idea what this chemical is capable of.
None of us do!
Something you might have thought about bef--
[tense music]
- Before?
Oh, before I was so-- so reckless.
- Yeah, that's right. That's right.
Where was your concern for our child then?
- [sighs]
I'm declining atropine and benzos.
- Understood.
.
- Hey.
You okay, man?
- I just found out that Lizzie has family here in Chicago.
But she won't call them
because she doesn't wanna worry them.
- Call them.
- It's not my place-- - Doesn't matter.
- Mitch, you don't-- - Trust me.
If Lizzie gets mad at you, great.
That means the bioscavenger worked
and she is still here.
I just watched a young woman die in less than 60 seconds.
There is no "I'll do it later" in this.
Call them.
- Bingo.
Went through LexisNexis, Sarge.
Nick's plates were ran two weeks ago.
- By who?
- Some civilian account, fictitious name.
But the login pings back to an IP
that's attached to a coffee shop in the West Loop.
- Contact CPIC.
Give them our guy's descriptors.
I want a full dump on all PODs, security cams
near that coffee shop for the last 30 days.
- It's a long shot, but maybe somebody who works there
will remember seeing him.
- Worth checking out. - Yeah.
- What's the address? - 1634 Racine.
- 1634 Racine?
- 1634 Racine, yes, sir.
- Sarge, you know it?
- I did once, but it wasn't a coffee shop back then.
- How you doing, Joe?
- Better, I think.
Maybe it's just, um--
what's that term? Psycho--
- Psychosomatic?
- That.
Labs come in yet?
- No. No, not yet. Not yet.
Were you able to video chat with your family?
- Yeah. - Good.
Okay, uh, I'll be right out there
if you need anything, all right?
- My youngest, Otis,
he keeps asking if I'm gonna be home
for his party on Saturday.
- Oh, yeah. Birthday?
- No, it's end-of-season party
for his basketball team.
Chloe and I are having the kids and the parents
over to our house.
- Good incentive for you to get the hell out of here.
- I promised to bring the squad by,
let the kids take a ride.
I've always accepted the risks that come with this job,
and it never scared me, but then you have a family.
[sighs]
- It's not just your sacrifice anymore.
- Something happens to me...
It happens to them.
[people clamoring]
- All right, okay. Okay.
Hold on. Hold on a second, please.
One at a time, please. - Just tell us what's happening.
Our family members died on that plane--
we deserve answers.
Who did this? - Ma'am,
I understand your frustration,
but this is an active investigation.
Details are still being verified,
but I can promise you that we are doing everything possible
to find the people responsible. - This is Tyler.
My son.
And now he's gone and I wanna know why.
They won't let me see him. I just--I just--
just--I just need to--
I just need to see my boy one more time--
- Sir, sir, I am very sorry,
but we just don't have all the answers right now.
But I can promise you,
Tyler is not just a case number.
None of your family members are.
We are carrying every single one of them with us.
I promise.
- So Macy played a significant role
in saving that baby's life today.
- Yeah.
Macy always had this overwhelming need to serve.
Even as a kid...
she'd organize bake sales and donate the money to shelters,
give away her toys every Christmas.
When I would question why she had to be a firefighter,
why she couldn't find some other way to help people,
she'd say, "Mom,
this is my calling."
- You know, a lot of people spend
their entire lives searching for that kind of clarity.
And to find it
at the age of 24 and then live it,
I mean, that's pretty rare.
- Oh, yeah.
[soft music]
- Would you like to meet her?

[baby fussing]
Shh.
- Yeah, actually, I think I know who you're talking about.
I don't know his name, but he comes in here pretty regularly.
He stands out 'cause of the scars and the gloves.
- Does he usually pay cash or credit card?
- We're cash-only.
- Does he ever come in with anyone else?
- Not that I remember.
- Have you ever talked to him? Small talk even?
- Not really.
He's polite, but he's not exactly chatty.
There was this one time
I asked if he lived in the neighborhood.
He said he grew up right here.
- W-what'd he mean "right here"?
- He said his family lived in an apartment building on this lot.
- You said you knew the address.
You know when the building was torn down?
- It wasn't torn down. It burned down in '01.
The Heart of Chicago Fire.
- That's how he got the scars.
- He would have been a kid at the time--10, maybe 11.
- All right, thank you. - Sure thing.
- We need to get a resident list for the building for that year.
- CFD will have every injury documented.
[suspenseful music]
- You good?
- Yeah, I just gotta make a quick stop.
I'll meet you back at the unit.

I know you just lost one of your own.

The timing of it?
