Chicago Fire s04e08 Episode Script

Patterson, the warpath you're on against Severide is this Riddle's bidding? My loyalty's to the job.
When I change the way Boden's doing things, I want to make sure that you're ready to step up.
Yes, Chief, I am.
The nature of your relationship with Ms.
Holmes, run it by me again.
She rented the apartment next door.
- She asked for my assistance.
- Thank you.
Or you kicked down her door, figured you teach her a lesson.
Just can't figure out why she's doing this.
Maybe it's someone who's got some kind of gain - if you go down.
- Such as? - Chief Riddle.
- If you're behind this, - I swear I will find out - Excuse me? - What are you talking about? - You are setting me up.
Shh, shh, shh.
Is it his earache still? Mm-hmm.
Doctor said he should start feeling better by tomorrow.
Hi.
Hi, what you doing? Hi.
Is that Serena? Don't don't do it, Wallace.
That woman is trying to ruin me, and I'm gonna find out why.
No, you wait here.
I'll find out.
There's no restraining order against me.
You got nerve.
I just came to pick up my stuff.
I'm not looking for trouble.
Honey, you are trouble.
Why are you spreading lies about my husband, huh? He is a good man.
He beat me up.
You know that is not true.
Serena.
Serena, is somebody paying you to do this? Please, just tell us who it is.
Just get out of my way and let me go.
Serena, let's go.
Donna.
Donna.
There was somebody in there with her.
Okay, okay.
Calm down, calm down.
What's going on? Sorry about the disturbance, okay? - Okay? - Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry.
Jimmy.
- Hey, Sylvie.
- Have you seen Chili? Not yet.
What's wrong? She's not here, and she's not responding to any of my texts.
She's really late, and she's never late.
Why isn't she answering? Voicemail.
I'm sure she'll be here.
Yo, Chili, it's Jimmy.
Where are you? Did he really say those exact words? "I'll have Boden's head on a stick"? I don't know.
I'm getting this third-hand, but think about it.
Riddle tells Boden to stay away from the gal, and not only does Boden show up, he accuses Riddle of framing him for assault.
You okay, Daws? Captain, hey, uh is it true that Riddle's all bent out of shape over what Boden said to him? Wouldn't you be? A paranoid accusation like that? Yeah, it was my paranoid accusation.
I'm the one who got Boden all wound up about Riddle.
It's not the end of the world.
I explained Boden's state of mind, and I calmed Riddle down for now.
You were just trying to help.
Don't beat yourself up about that.
It's better to do nothing than to make things worse.
Hey, he's our chief.
We're not leaving him to deal with this on his own.
It's not your problem.
Just do your jobs, got it? Got it, Chief.
Dawson, I have a problem.
Chili hasn't shown up for shift.
Well, she definitely chose the wrong day to cross Boden.
I know.
Okay, get the off-going PIC to put you out of service - so that Chili isn't AWOL - Okay.
And you better do it before a call comes in.
Truck 81, Ambo 61, Vehicle accident Sacramento and Ohio Great.
- Chili, what the hell? - I overslept.
What, it happens.
Relax, it all worked out.
Just one in the car.
His leg's trapped.
- Any injuries in the RV? - Nobody in the RV.
I was tagging it for impound when this guy comes along and Wham.
Lucky he didn't hit me.
This could flash on us.
- Hey, what's your name? - Austin.
Okay, Austin, we're gonna get you out of there as quick as we can.
- Herrmann, get this door open.
- Copy, Lieutenant.
- How's he doing? - He's alert.
Laceration to the face.
Looks like he's pinned.
How is it you managed to crash into a parked vehicle? I looked down at the radio to change the station.
It was an emergency.
They were playing Justin Bieber.
Say no more.
I knew you'd understand.
Your eyes are incredible, by the way.
I think you must've hit your head.
Lock down those flames, 51.
- Dawson - Yes, Chief? Cover the victim.
Mouch, Jimmy, get another line ready just in case that cab engulfs.
All right, here.
- Herrmann, need a backboard.
- Got it.
Got you, man.
- Grab him! - All right! All right, easy, easy, easy.
Get out of here, Otis.
It's gonna go! Go! Fire got in the RV.
Anyone inside? - It's abandoned, Chief.
- Did you verify that? Herrmann, let's get on it.
I think there's somebody inside, a kid or something.
Mask up, Herrmann.
I better call for a second ambulance.
Go check it out.
All right, I'll get the intubation kit started.
Who leaves their child unattended in an RV? Hit it, Mouch.
What do we got? I think it's a a robot.
What? Oh, sweet fancy Moses.
A robot.
Well, I didn't know what it was.
That's the biggest turtle I've ever seen.
It's not a turtle.
It's a it's a tortoise.
Must be somebody's pet.
I'm gonna go back to the human victim now.
Okay, Officer, he's all yours.
I'm not touching that thing.
Get diseases.
Aren't you gonna contact the owner of the RV? They want their RV or what's left of it, they can find it at the impound lot.
Shouldn't you call Animal Control about the turtle or tortoise? Toss it in the lake.
What do I care? We're not gonna toss it in the lake.
Just take care of the damn thing.
You heard the man.
One of these days, you'll get it right, Otis.
I am confident.
Come on, it's not that crooked.
Yo, candidate, can't you tell the difference between the Squad table and a bike rack? Yeah, yeah, sorry about that.
My car's in the shop.
Can't you lock it up? I swear, you Truck guys think you can bring whatever you want into this house.
Okay, okay, the Animal Control facility says that they're over capacity, so they can't take the little guy right now.
Little That thing better be out of here by the end of shift, or I'm selling it to a Chinese restaurant.
Mouch, call Trudy and see if PD can pull the registration off the camper and track down the owner.
Hey, Freddie, check it out.
Whoa, that thing real? Yeah, we pulled it out of a fire.
Herrmann thought he was rescuing a robot.
Yeah, uh, could you elaborate on that? Did you think it was, like, R2-D2 or something? No, I I thought it was a vacuum cleaner, you know, like a Roomba.
Whatever, get off my back.
Chili, can I see you a minute? Um, that's strike one.
I'm sorry.
I don't what's strike one? You were late to shift.
Yes, that like five minutes.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
There was just construction on my street, and I was parked behind this big steamroller thing.
Chili! That's strike one.
Chief, there's a Steve Kot from the State's Attorney's Office to see you.
- Chief Boden - Hey.
Assistant State's Attorney Steve Kot.
I'm handling the Roger Maddox arson case.
Oh, I thought you were here for something else.
The aggravated battery charges pending against you? - There you go.
- Yeah, I'm here about both.
The latter could compromise your ability to testify in the former.
What do you want me to testify for? You need Gabriela Dawson.
She's the arson investigator who first linked Maddox to the fires.
We'll put Miss Dawson on the stand absolutely, but remember who we're dealing with here.
Maddox is a take-no-prisoners type.
He employs an army of lawyers to help him kick old ladies out of their homes, but you're a decorated battalion chief in the CFD.
You're a voice of authority.
You can gain the trust of the jury and help us frame this case in plain language, but only if you dispel these accusations against you.
Those accusations are unrelated and invented from whole cloth.
Doesn't matter.
If you don't clear them up before the Maddox case goes to trial, you're worthless to us as a witness.
Does Maddox know that I'm supposed to testify? I assume so.
I'm required to disclose the witness list to his lawyers.
Sorry, Chief, it's Donna.
She says it's an emergency.
- Donna? - Wallace you better get home right now.
- Wallace.
- This is insanity.
- You okay? - No, I'm fine, but but you need to talk to Wheeler.
Tell him Serena got into a car with some man.
- He won't listen to me.
- Okay, okay.
Wheeler, you don't need to do this.
I asked the prosecutor and a judge to sign this search warrant, so I'm definitely doing this.
Listen to me, Roger Maddox is setting me up.
- Who? - Roger Maddox.
He's charged with arson.
I'm supposed to be testifying against him.
This is nothing more than an attempt to discredit me.
Chief, when were you gonna tell me that you got into a confrontation with Serena Holmes early this morning? Wheeler, you're not hearing me.
I need to know what happened with Serena.
My wife and her she exchanged words.
She drove away.
That's all.
- Is it? - Yeah.
Because now she's MIA.
- She's missing.
- That's right.
My witness has vanished.
You and your wife are the last people seen with her, so step aside.
Let's go.
- Unbelievable.
- I guess if Maddox is willing to torch a building to close a deal, he'd have no qualms about hiring someone to set you up.
Is this Wheeler guy gonna follow up on it? I have to bring him something more than just my suspicion.
I need to find a hard link between Serena and Maddox.
I'll call Antonio and see if he can do - anymore digging for you.
- I'll talk to Riddle.
If you're being targeted over an arson investigation, CFD needs to have your back.
I should reach out to Jaime.
That's your lawyer friend who went to go work for Maddox? If she could shed any light on this I didn't bring you all here hoping that you would solve this mess for me.
Of course not, Chief, but we're gonna do all we can.
Thanks.
It's a silly policy, and you can tell your supervisor I said so.
RV is registered to a rental company in Denver.
They won't tell me who rented it Sensitive customer information.
Let's name him Leonardo.
I don't know much about reptiles, but something seems wrong with him.
Guys, Boden said to take care of that thing.
If it dies on our watch I got food for the big boy.
But the tortoise is acting super sluggish.
Well, anybody give him water? He could be dehydrated.
Okay, I'll get it some water.
Dehydrated, okay, that's not so bad.
We'll get him some lemonade.
What's happening, Freddie? Oh, yo, what up? Cruz.
Hey, buddy, you thirsty, hmm? I appreciate what you're doing for Freddie, the example you're setting, but he's making himself a little too at home around here.
I'll talk to him.
No problem.
We need some ground rules: shorter visits only when you're here, only if he doesn't get in the way, and at some point, little bird's got to leave the nest.
But the other day, you said he was welcome.
I did, and now I'm saying we need ground rules.
Sure, got it.
- Yup, okay, sure.
- Thank you.
I'll have Denise send it all over.
Yup, thanks, Elliot.
Well you like to surprise a girl, don't you? Still mad, huh? Please, sit.
Carrying around a grudge that big must be exhausting.
- This won't take long.
- Kelly It's good to see you.
Did you get your rank reinstated? Not yet, I will.
My big promotion making partner, they had to do it after I landed Maddox, but they don't give me any more responsibility or show me much respect, so it's pretty insulting actually.
- So why do you stay? - The money.
- I need your help.
- Name it.
My battalion chief is in legal trouble, some woman accusing him of assault.
It's obviously a set-up, and we're pretty sure that Maddox is behind it.
Her name is Serena Holmes.
I need to find out if Maddox is paying her off.
I don't know anything about it.
- I honestly don't.
- But you can find out.
Kelly, you are asking me to dig up and disclose personal information on my client.
That is a serious breach of ethics.
I can't do it.
I'm sorry.
You know, it's funny.
You'll do whatever it takes to get ahead.
Someone else asks for a hand, suddenly you're all about ethics.
Hell of a life you've made for yourself.
Hey, can I get a female perspective on something? Mm-hmm.
Okay, when a girl says, "I had a fun time.
We should do it again," does that mean that she had a fun time and she wants to do it again, or does that mean that she had an average time and really couldn't care less if she ever saw your face again? One more time.
Brett, night of the gala: "I had a fun time.
We should do it again.
" What am I supposed to do with that? Okay, did you have a fun time? Do you think you should do it again? - Yeah.
- Then ask her out again and stop being a dope.
Hey, guys, the tortoise is getting away.
Mouch, you you gonna stop it? What's the rush? Okay, guys, this is getting old.
Let's just clear a spot out on the apparatus floor, and we'll rig up an enclosure for him.
Come on.
Before he gets away.
Ugh.
Over here.
Looks like a good spot.
How'd it go with Boden? Hey, Brett, I wanted to ask you something.
There she is.
It's the miracle worker with the big, blue eyes.
Oh, my God, I love Gerber daisies.
I had a feeling.
Wow, really? How how did you I said something to my partner about it when we wheeled you past the hospital flower shop.
You got me.
- Um, Austin, right? - Yeah.
How's how's your leg? Oh, they did an MRI.
Just a muscle tear.
It's no biggie.
I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of me.
Did you bring flowers for my lieutenant? 'Cause he's the one that pulled you out of a burning car.
Ambulance 61, person collapsed.
- Sacrament and Walnut.
- I got to go.
Thank you for the flowers.
I never got your name.
Oh, um, Sylvie.
Sylvie, I would be over the moon if you let me buy you lunch sometime.
Uh.
Jackass.
I came in to do clean up found him in the corn.
He's dead, isn't he? - Blood pressure's low.
- Body temp is really low too.
He must've been lying here for hours.
Maybe he has some medical ID in his wallet.
- No wallet.
- Well, he's probably homeless.
They come in here and steal our food.
Pupils are equal.
I don't see any sign of head trauma.
All right, I'm gonna bolus him, get his pressure up.
Hopefully he comes to.
Whoa, blood sugar's only 20.
All right, amp a D50.
That'll help him come around.
It's up to 120.
Bolus isn't working either.
Pressure's still low.
Let's get him on the backboard and trauma him to Med.
When mystery man wakes up, tell him he ruined our corn bin.
Yeah, we'll be sure to do that.
Not your typical John Doe.
Hey, Jimmy said Boden pulled you aside this morning.
Everything go okay? It was nothing.
What's up with hot victim and the daisies? - He ask you out? - He gave me his card.
I mean, he's definitely cute.
Very you gonna call him? I don't know.
Does he seem too smooth to you? Like he's kind of a player? Brett, you looking to get married? Player's what you need.
All I'm saying is, we collectively assumed responsibility for this animal, but somehow I'm the one who had to take him home between shifts.
Mouch, would you shush.
Relax.
Now Trudy won't spend the night at my place.
- She says it smells like turtle.
- Yeah? Help you guys? Uh, yeah, we're here about that burned-out RV - you got over there.
- You the owner? No, we're trying to locate the driver who abandoned it.
We're hoping you can let us poke around inside for any personal affects he may have left behind.
You don't own the thing, but you want me to let you root around inside.
Yeah.
$3? Hey, pal, we're the firefighters who put out that fire.
We have some property that belongs to the driver, and we just want to give it back to him.
I think I can help you out.
Guy left his wallet in the console.
Who abandons a camper in such a hurry that they leave behind a wallet? Here you go.
Thanks.
I supposed it was empty when you found it.
- No, I took all the cash.
- Okay.
Can I come in? Hey, uh, yeah, sure.
It's my maid's day off.
But she stopped by for a drink.
Well, hopefully you didn't have to pay her for that.
You must've been missing me pretty bad to swing by out of the blue.
Yeah, but that's not the only reason I'm here.
Last shift, it seemed like maybe something was going on with you.
- Everything okay? - Mm-hmm.
Everything is fine.
Chili, I know that we're keeping it casual, but I care about you.
That's really sweet, but I'm fine.
I swear.
Oh, you're really gonna fight me on this? I never heard what happened with Jaime.
You get a hold of her? Yeah.
Dead end? She stonewalled me for sure, but when I said Serena's name, she definitely reacted.
Like she knows about it? Like she knows something, but I can't pry it out of her.
She's a professional at that game.
Just need to play right.
You should see her up there in her corner office.
All she had to do was find an inside angle, and I bet she got a kick out of it when I told her I hadn't gotten my rank back.
You think so? I don't know.
See, I always got the impression that girl really liked you.
Donna.
Yeah.
What is it? Nothing, I'm fine.
The hell you are.
Donna, come on.
All the police activity and, you know, the fight with Serena in the middle of the night.
Some of the neighbors They canceled the mom's group that I joined, and, you know, the looks that they are giving me it's Which neighbors? Who's treating you like that? You can't blame them, considering everything that they have heard.
Okay, Donna.
Don't worry about them.
The truth is gonna come out, okay? I hope you're right.
I don't know how much longer I can do this.
Excuse me! Hey! It ends now.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Maddox.
- He just barged in.
- What do you want? This whole business with Serena Holmes, it ends now.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Cheryl, call security.
What kind of man are you, Maddox? Houses burn.
People die.
You are destroying families! All so you can turn a profit? What's the matter, Chief, trouble at home? You have messed with the wrong man.
You did what? I had to do something.
I'm glad I did, because after looking in that man's eye, I swear to God, there was no doubt in my mind Maddox was behind it.
Chief, you got to stop making things worse for yourself.
What is your buddy Wheeler doing about all this anyway? Apart from digging through my drawers.
He's looking for Serena, who still hasn't turned up.
But is it obvious what's going on? Serena knew that Boden was on to her, so she ran off.
Wheeler's doing what any good cop would do.
I mean, if I'm handling a case and my witness goes missing, I'm taking a hard look at the person who benefits most from her disappearance, and that's you, my friend.
Best advice I could give, Chief, you got to keep it together, whatever it takes.
I'm keeping it together.
Antonio says you won't get far on Maddox.
He has to let Wheeler's investigation play out.
You talk to Severide? Jaime's a dead end too.
Maddox can't get away with this, can he? The driver of the RV and presumably the owner of our little friend is one Jeremy Green of Denver, Colorado.
Well done.
Did you track him down? We're trying.
We found a number in Denver.
We left some messages.
Apparently he's not checking his voice mail when he's on the road.
There's no other contact information in there? Hey, Chili, is this our John Doe? Oh, yeah.
We picked him up the other day.
He was unconscious, diabetic shock.
He didn't have an ID on him.
You know, that garden was only, like, He probably felt his blood sugar getting low, and he pulled over.
Got disoriented and wandered off.
That's how he ended up napping in the corn.
We should call Med.
Hey, Chief.
Chief.
Just wanted to let you know I talked to Riddle, told him it's possible Roger Maddox is behind all of this.
Appreciate you going to bat for me, Patterson, but to be honest, at this moment in time, I don't much care about what Riddle says or does.
Understandable.
Listen If you need to step away from your duties for a while, take some furlough time to deal with the situation.
I have an obligation to be here.
I'm saying if you feel you can't fully meet that obligation, I'm happy to watch over the house in your absence.
I'm sure Riddle would be okay with that.
You had that conversation with him? Like I said, I I went to bat for you.
And offered to do my job for me.
Patterson, you're very good at playing both sides.
Sooner or later, you're gonna need to make a stand for what's right.
Um, okay, well, thanks for the update.
Jeremy Green is still in the hospital.
They found a brain bleed he probably sustained in the fall, and they're keeping him sedated and intubated until it clears.
Do they think he'll make it? Should we try animal control again? We are not putting Leonardo in a shelter.
Oh.
Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambo 61, person trapped.
- Where's the victim? - Get this.
Lady's taking a shower inside the women's locker room.
She looks up at the ceiling.
There's this dude staring at her from inside the heating vent.
The guy's inside the duct? Yeah, can you pull him out for us? Yeah.
We got a Peeping Tom trapped inside the air duct.
- For real? - Yeah.
There's been a handful of sexual assaults reported here over the last couple of weeks.
Sounds like this is our guy.
How'd he gain access to the HVAC system? Mechanical closet in the back, but I got a man posted there.
He hasn't come out that way.
Garcia, you got a bead on this guy? Backed himself out of ladies' shower.
I'm not sure where he's gone to now.
Shh.
Over here.
Get the thermal camera.
Herrmann, eight-foot ladder and tools.
Fire Department, call out so we can help get you out of there.
This way.
Ugh.
Oh, God.
What happened up there? Are you hurt? Think he's right here.
Nope, he's right there.
I'm caught on something.
It hurts like a bitch.
Hang in there.
We'll get you out.
Yup, think you got snagged on a screw.
Think we need to cut into the duct.
Severide, belay that thermal camera.
- Get the sawzall.
- Copy that.
Please, help.
Hold on.
All right, I'm gonna back the screw out.
- Damn it.
- Almost done.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop moving! Son of a bitch, he's trying to get away.
It's going! Casey! Matt, you okay? Herrmann, grab him! He's back in the ducts.
I think he made it to a roof vent.
Suspect might be on the roof.
Keep an eye out.
Hey, pal, where you going? Hold it, come here.
Ugh.
Come on, Otis, straighten it out.
- It's fine.
- Whoa, Otis, stop! Uh-no.
- Ugh, uh-oh.
- Leonardo.
I can't look.
Where is it? I put him in there.
I know I did.
- It must've escaped.
- Oh, thank God.
Otis, Otis.
You you need to get your eyes checked.
We'd be better off letting the candidate drive the truck.
I'd love to.
I've got my CDL.
Forget it.
We're not letting the candidate drive the truck.
Guys, where is the tortoise? You know, it's really too cold for him out here.
Maybe it went inside seeking warmth.
Ah! Hey, everybody, this is Debbie Green and her son Zack.
Hi, yeah, you rescued my husband Jeremy.
Yeah, the paramedics found him.
We had no idea he was coming to town.
I took a job here in Chicago and brought Zack with me, but Jeremy stayed behind in Denver.
With my tortoise.
We think that he was driving out to surprise us.
Um, how is he doing? We just came from the hospital.
He's still sedated, but they seem hopeful.
That's good to hear.
We found him! Donatello! I guess we had the wrong Ninja Turtle.
There you go.
I'm gonna miss that thing.
He's very likable.
Yeah.
Oh, your former John Doe is conscious and talking to his family.
That's great.
Thanks for the update, Sarah.
Did that earn me a free drink? When tortoises fly, kid.
She thinks I'm kidding.
Know what's crazy? We've never been away on a weekend together.
That is crazy.
Where you thinking? Maybe I'll surprise you.
Chief.
Uh, Donna went out with some girlfriends.
Figured I'd best stay busy.
Get you a beer? Appreciate that.
Congratulations.
That kind of recognition is a big deal.
Yeah.
Commands real respect around here.
Well, it'll carry weight with Chief Riddle.
Might be a good time to talk to him about having your rank reassessed.
I'd write a recommendation in support.
What? Look, come on, let's talk about chess.
Wallace Boden, you're under arrest.
Turn around, put your hands on the bar.
What? Under arrest for what? This will be the last time I give this order.
Turn around, put your hands on that bar.
Why am I under arrest? You guys out of your minds? Herrmann, Mouch, call Donna.
Tell her to call my attorney.
We'll figure it out, Chief.
We got your back.
Look at me, Chief, 'cause this is my favorite part of the job.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
Do you understand these rights that I've read to you? Keeping these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?
