Chicago Fire s11e03 Episode Script
Completely Shattered
My wife almost got killed
because of some cop on the take.
- We're on top of it.
- Well, what's the hold-up?
Hey, it's a police matter,
let the police handle it.
- You're not!
- Stay in your lane.
You just lost yourself
a valuable friend.
How come you're going along
with me in all of this?
You don't even like me.
Chief Boden sees something in you.
This has been a chance
for me to see it for myself.
It's you I'm worried about.
You haven't slowed down
even for a breath.
Casey and I broke up.
So can you help me?
- Yeah.
- Great.
Listen, and I get that,
but I've been a lieutenant for a while,
and it seems a little off that
I don't have my own quarters.
What are you talking about?
I waited five years.
Like Minnesota Fats said,
"Them's the breaks."
Uh-huh.
It's a seniority issue.
You're third in line.
You really don't
understand marriage, do you?
Always support your wife.
You were agreeing with me!
Listen, I cannot keep using this room
as my temporary workspace.
It's not right.
How's your partner doing?
Between Casey
and the paramedicine incident,
not good.
That was one hell of a one-two punch.
Yeah.
I got to take her out or something,
get her mind off of everything going on.
Okay, people, I got a lot to go over,
so let's get to it.
First off
gutter duty.
Okay, get your griping out the way.
You got ten seconds.
Evan's gonna spend more time
commuting in his car
than out doing his job.
Busted down to District 6.
- That blows.
- Yeah.
Guess I shouldn't complain.
At least we don't have to
sneak around like a couple
oh.
Uh, what am I talking about?
You don't want to hear about my nonsense
when you're going through what you're
No, Violet, no walking
on eggshells around me.
I mean it. Just because
Brett, can I grab you for a second?
Richardson at dispatch
has the inside track
on some new radios for our ambulance.
Carver.
Hey, Chief, just grabbing
a maintenance request form.
You in a hurry?
No, no. What's up?
Well, you've been with us
for a few shifts now.
I just want to check in with you,
see how you're liking it.
Very much so.
It's a great house.
Best group of people I've come
across in the CFD, hands down.
I certainly think so.
And you and Kidd, how's it working?
Great.
Sorry. I cut you off.
Hmm.
I just wanted to ask how
you and Kidd are getting along.
Yeah, great.
We're alone, you know.
Speak your mind.
She's an outstanding lieutenant.
As for our personalities, sure,
we're a little different,
but that just makes the job
more of a thrill ride, right?
Right.
- Hey, don't mind me.
- Okay.
Did you agree with the
incident report format
that Boden was talking about
this morning?
I hadn't thought about it.
Well, it seems like if we
have been filing the reports
in a certain way for literally forever,
we don't need a new system
for uploading the files.
You know, so what, headquarters
can not review them sooner?
What are you doing?
I am talking about incident reports.
No.
Okay, best I can eyeball it,
your office is about 80 square feet?
- Sure.
- Well, that's perfect.
There's plenty of room in the
Truck 81, Engine 51, Ambulance 61.
Pin in accident.
To be continued.
We got two injured drivers.
One is pinned.
All right, let's get
a line ready on this sedan!
Brett, we need C-collars,
a second ambulance.
Gallo, Mouch, get the jaws and cutter.
- Copy that.
- Copy, copy!
Uh, Lieutenant?
Gallo, Carver, grab flares.
- Go to the end of that street.
- Copy.
I don't want any animals hit.
Copy that.
- Mouch, you got the jaws?
- Yeah.
All right, take it easy.
Try not to move, ma'am.
We're gonna get you out of there.
Good. Let's go.
You doing all right, sir?
Ellis.
You doing all right, Ellis?
How is she?
She is conscious, so that's good.
But you sit tight until
we can have some paramedics
come and take a look at you, okay?
Nah. Nah.
Oh, hell's bells.
Got her open, Lieutenant.
Ma'am, tell me what hurts.
I just looked down
at the radio for a second.
Yeah, we get that a lot.
All right, can you follow
my finger with your eyes?
Okay, that's good. No concussion.
How about the rest of you?
My side, it really hurts.
Cracked rib?
I don't hear stridor
or diminished lungs.
Okay, we're gonna get you
to Med and have
- a doctor check you out, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, easy.
Come on, easy. Just lay on your back.
That's it.
Well, that's thank you.
Ellis, we got
a second ambulance on the way.
I really want you to take it.
You should at least get
your head looked at.
I really don't need all of that stuff.
What I do need is to get
my goats out of the road
so some fool don't run them over.
Give me a second.
- Hey, Hermann.
- Yeah.
How's about a little wager?
What you got in mind?
Well, Ellis here needs
his goats corralled.
Uh-huh.
So how about the one of us who
gets the most goats back
in the animal carrier
gets your office?
I already got my office.
That's not how a bet works.
Okay, if you win, I'll work
in Molly's for a month for
You're on!
Sheesh.
All right, all right, all right.
Ooh.
- Number seven!
- Whoo! 51, baby!
And that is how you do it.
I may not have thought this one through.
I'm Chicago born and raised.
But every summer, I go to Wisconsin
to my uncle Leslie's goat farm.
Of course you did.
51, pack it up.
Lunch is on me when we get back.
I'm sorry again for
chattering on about Evan.
I know what you're going through.
Dispatch, we're going down
in order to restock equipment.
Copy that, 61.
What are we restocking?
Our stomachs.
Listen, I'm gonna give it
to you straight.
I like hearing about you and Evan.
I like seeing you two together.
In fact, because he's going
to be leaving the district soon
and your chances
of seeing him during shift
are gonna be remote,
I thought it'd be nice
if we all grabbed lunch together.
Oh.
Brett.
Come on. I'm starving.
- Chief.
- Stella, what's on your mind?
Well, I am glad you asked, Chief,
because I'm just gonna
come right out and say it.
I need my own lieutenant's quarters.
Stella, I've been down
this road many times.
This is a firehouse with three apparatus
and only two officers' quarters.
Here's the thing, Chief.
I've thought about that.
The laundry room is more
than spacious enough.
The laundry room?
It's right next to the bunk room,
so I'd be close to my men.
And it can easily be
cleaned up and refitted
to accommodate a desk.
Also, let's be honest.
It is a little off that I am
the only female officer
at 51 and
Fine.
Laundry room's all yours.
Someone looks happy.
- Someone is happy.
- Hmm.
Hmm.
- You wanted to see me, Chief?
- Ah, yes.
Just had a phone call from Chicago PD.
They have a crime scene
around the corner.
And they have asked for your help.
Me specifically?
Well, the detective
says Trudy Platt told them
that you have a nose
for these types of things,
- whatever that means.
- Intriguing.
Yeah.
Get Cruz to cover squad
while you're out.
Will do, Chief.
You Severide?
Come take a look at something
for us, will you?
Sure.
This who was carted out of here?
Yep.
Best we can figure, he's the homeowner
who was supposed to be out of
town with his family on vacation
but had to cut his trip short for work.
Surprised the guy
breaking into his safe,
gets a bullet in his head
for his trouble.
And you called me because?
Well, the safe is
supposed to be fireproof.
And what we need to know is
what the killer used to open it.
The desk sergeant at 21st
said you might be
the man who would know.
If we could figure
out what the perp used
to put a hole in the fireproof safe,
maybe it'll give us
a clue to the killer.
Hey! What's he doing here?
Oh, easy, Detective.
I got his name from over
Forget it. I want him out of here.
Look, you clear it with me
before you invite in an outsider, Luke.
Sergeant Platt said he
could be here to help
Is she in charge of this scene, or am I?
Hey.
You don't want me here, no problem.
But Pryma, you should know
there's no such thing as fireproof.
If you get any metal hot
enough, it turns to liquid.
Could have been done
with an acetylene torch
or an Arcair torch.
Could have been punched with
nitroglycerin or C4 or RDX.
But I won't be able to tell you
because you have a personal beef.
Fine. You want to take some pictures?
Send us your thoughts.
The city thanks you.
I was gonna pick up the check.
No way. Are you kidding me?
You made my whole day when you called.
Well, thank you.
Violet's lucky to have friends like you.
Aw.
Speaking of friends, I know
it might be a little soon,
and feel free to yell at me, but
Evan, I don't know.
I have a good buddy
who I play hockey with.
He's a great guy.
He runs a bar in Logan Square,
volunteers a ton
at Lurie Children's Hospital.
And I just thought
you two might hit it off.
Oh, that's so sweet of you,
but yeah, a little soon.
Told you.
No, no, it's awesome
of you to think of me.
I really do appreciate it.
Anytime.
And you didn't yell at me,
so there's that.
Thanks again for setting this up.
And I will see you tomorrow
after your shift.
Can't wait.
- I love you.
- Love you too.
Sorry about that.
Aw, he is a ridiculously good guy.
And that lunch idea was ridiculously
thoughtful of you.
Well, I was, and always
will be, a hopeless romantic.
It makes me happy to see you happy.
Carver?
Lieutenant.
Your construction gigs,
were you more of a hammer
and saw guy, or would
you map out renovations,
that kind of thing?
I've done a few fixer uppers.
Flipped a house down in South Shore.
Great come help me
convert the laundry room
into my office.
Doesn't facilities do that?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is more of a,
"I am not gonna wait
six months for facilities
to approve the paperwork" kind of thing.
Hmm.
What?
It just seems like
you're asking for my help.
Yeah.
But you didn't ask.
You more like gave an order.
Or you know what? No problem.
Lieutenant, team player.
I'll take a look.
Okay, lots of space to work with.
So what I'm thinking is,
Coke machine, gone.
Washer-dryer, gone.
Desk goes right here.
Floating shelves on this wall.
Really? Even into this brick?
Hammer drill with a carbide
tip, zhoop-zhoop, two seconds.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, then.
And you've got plenty
of power and light.
That's what I'm saying.
Hey, Kelly.
Can you help me find a new home
for the washer-dryer here?
Help Kidd find a new home
for the washer and dryer.
We're getting ready to
Or you could run drills on the roof
till the sun goes down.
Fine.
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- Hmm.
We're gonna have to run temporary hoses
and accordion ventilation.
I'm sure you can figure it all out.
Come with me.
What are you guys doing?
We have to move these out
of Kidd's new office.
Oh, well, finally a job
that suits your talents.
Something that doesn't require thinking.
Hey, Chief.
I just I just wanted to say thank you
for letting Javi
play candidate last week.
Oh, always great to see him,
which got me thinking
that you might want to bring him over,
and then Terrance and he, they
could just toss the football and talk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be great.
Excuse me.
Hey. What are you doing?
Relocating the washer and
dryer into the briefing room.
No, you're not.
Find somewhere else.
Let's take this in my office.
Knock, knock.
Van Meter!
Hey, I just wanted you
to email me your thoughts
on the photos I sent.
I was heading over
to the academy anyway.
These are all the old
safe cracking/arson files
I could pull from the OFI archives.
They go back about ten years.
- That's more than I thought.
- Yeah.
7,000 robbery-burglaries
a year in Chicago, my friend.
These represent oh but
a tiny portion of the troubles
that ail our fair city.
Did you look at these?
Yeah.
If I figure out what device was used
to burn through this safe,
CBD says they can
narrow the suspect list.
I'm gonna guess an Arcair torch,
but dig through these,
see if there are any that look similar.
A bunch of them were solved,
so they probably
have the methods detailed.
Yeah, will do. Thank you.
On that note,
I got to get to the academy.
- Good luck.
- Yeah.
Hey, Chief.
You remember that fire about
two weeks ago in North Erie,
the one with the fire-resistant
safe up in the bedroom?
I do. I pass by it on my way to work.
It's still boarded up.
Yes, you can go check it out.
I'll let Cruz know.
Thanks, Chief.
What the hell are you doing here?
This is a fire scene, Pryma.
The better question is,
what the hell are you doing here?
I was looking over
suspicious cases in the area,
and this house stuck out
bedroom on fire.
With a floor safe nearby.
Exactly.
I was doing the same thing.
Our detective working the case
said the safe was never opened.
Fire investigation said the same thing.
Ruled it arson.
Yeah, but CPD couldn't
figure out a motive.
Homeowner?
Spends half the time in Florida,
wasn't in Chicago when this happened.
Interviewed him remotely,
but we didn't get a bad hit off of him.
I looked through both addresses
to see if there's any connection,
but I'm pulling zeros right now.
This is a similar model to
the cracked safe this morning,
which drew both our attention,
only this wasn't opened.
That's correct.
The fire started here
Here
And here.
Meaning someone lit the drapes
or curtains on fire.
Okay.
Okay, what if our safecracker,
he comes in, he moves over to the safe,
he tries to torch his way in,
but he doesn't know what he's doing yet.
He gets spooked or pissed
or whatever and he gives up.
Then he decides to
Light the room on fire
out of frustration.
Or to cover his tracks.
So you're saying this safe
was his first attempt?
Well, most arsonists start small.
They work their way up.
Partly a mental compulsion.
It's also practice.
Maybe safecrackers do the same thing.
So he fails here,
waits a few weeks,
and then cracks the safe on West Hersh.
Exactly.
All right, it seems like if we find
a connection between the two houses,
- we land on a suspect.
- We?
Experience tells me
you're gonna see this through
whether I want you to or not.
So you share anything
you find in your files.
I'll do the same thing.
Done.
That's why I called
equipment and supplies.
I don't have the hoses
you promised me in August.
I'm looking at my calendar, Larry.
What do you think it says?
It says October.
Hang on a sec.
Hey!
- Chief, we thought
- No.
Carver?
Yeah, Lieutenant?
You work construction, yeah?
I did.
I still do, apparently.
These are from a fire scene
a couple of weeks ago.
These studs here and here,
they're different, right?
Yeah, you can see them here.
This house had some renovations done.
Behind this sheetrock,
old studs that are pre-1964,
actual 2x4s.
And over here,
that's newer construction.
Those studs are
No.
Go on.
Those studs are modern 3 1/2x1 1/2s.
And light and color.
I'm saying this is recent work,
like in the last couple of months.
Thanks, Carver.
You got it.
What's this?
Here you are, going through it,
and all you think about
is making my day better.
So I made you a failed attempt
at Asiago cheesy bread.
Do I eat it or?
No, you can throw that right away.
But I wanted you to see my effort
and to say thank you again
for lunch today.
Look, Violet, I really
appreciate you saying that
and baking me this,
but I'm fine.
I
I've been thinking a lot about the fact
that I had this call a few years ago.
This woman had been stabbed
by her neighbor in her bedroom,
and I got there too late,
and she died in front of me.
At the time, it really got to me.
And I ended up bawling
my eyes out in my car later,
completely shattered.
But this job,
this life
It forges you in steel.
I'm a lot stronger now.
And when I was attacked
on that paramedicine run,
my mind wasn't saying,
get out of here, run, get help.
It was saying, stay cool
and handle this, Sylvie.
And with Matt,
I can either bawl my eyes out,
or I can get back to work
and get better at living every day.
That's what I choose to do.
Hey, Detective Pryma.
So I have an idea of what
ties the two houses together.
Both were recently remodeled,
and I'm gonna guess
by the same contractor who knew
where the safe was
and when the owners would be away.
There's a sign in the yard
of the first house
that says Big T Construction,
which is located
about a mile from here.
I'm gonna go poke around.
- Help you?
- Yeah.
I'm Kelly Severide with the
Chicago Fire Department.
I was hoping to talk
to somebody from Big T.
I'm Tom, the owner. How can I help?
Hear anything about
a robbery at 5317 West Hersh?
Yeah, I did, actually.
I'm doing the bathrooms over there.
When I showed up this morning,
the police said
it was a crime scene and to keep away.
That's all they told you?
Yeah.
You do the renovations
at 2221 North Erie?
No.
You know, we did bid on that
job, and they turned us down.
But the plumber
we work with, Jack Howard,
- he did both those renos.
- Really?
Yeah, he's here. We share a space.
You want to talk to him?
I would, actually.
I got your message.
Yeah, the guy was just
telling me about it.
There he is now. Hey, hey, Jack.
These guys are looking for you.
Oh!
This is Detective Prima.
Send me two squads and an SI unit
to Big T's Construction
on South Campbell.
We've got the guy.
- Hey.
- Hey.
There something you want to say to me?
Lots of things, yeah.
I mean about the shelves I put up.
You saw them, right?
I did. They're good.
Thank you.
Good or really good?
Somewhere in that range, yeah.
You know, if you give me a compliment
or say "great job,"
you won't turn to dust.
You should try it sometime.
You're very needy.
Do you know that?
Hey. Where you been?
I've been out with the CPD. You?
You look like you've
been rolling in dirt.
Yeah, I had to climb under a house
where a little kid
thought it'd be a great idea
to play hide and seek
and got himself stuck.
You look like Pigpen.
Yeah.
I'm gonna hit the shower.
What'd I miss?
Nada.
With you playing fire cop
and Tony and Capp
moving that washer and dryer
all over the house,
I've had the squad table all to myself.
It's been pretty nice, actually.
Looky here.
- Right?
- Coming together.
I stole a desk out of the blue office.
- These are cool.
- Yeah.
Carver.
Yeah, he puts up perfect shelves.
I still want to punch him, but.
Well, you made it happen.
You had an idea, you got it done.
- What I love about you.
- Oh.
Where'd the washer and dryer end up?
Huh?
Squad 3, Truck 81,
Engine 51, Ambulance 61.
Structure fire, 3447 South Damen Avenue.
I don't know what happened.
It sprang up out of nowhere.
How many people inside?
I don't know.
I saw some people trapped by the screen.
And Brady and Ivy are down
in the storage room.
Severide, we got two trapped downstairs.
Kidd, primary search inside the theater.
- Copy.
- Herrmann, get two lines in there.
- Got it.
- You hold it back as long as you can.
Copy that. Let's go, boys.
Guys, we got
two minutes in here, not ten.
- How many in there?
- Two.
Truck, primary search
inside the theater.
Brett, set up triage
outside of the collab zone.
I've already called in EMS Plan One,
so cavalry's on its way.
- Okay.
- But you keep them back.
This building isn't
gonna last much longer.
You got it, Chief.
Everyone come to me
so we can get you on oxygen
and make sure you're okay.
Be patient. We will get to you.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Ready, Truck? Let's move our asses!
Ready? Stand by to charge the line.
All right.
- Come on. Keep moving!
- This way!
- Keep moving!
- This way!
Come on!
Keep moving. Keep moving!
Okay, everyone, stay calm!
Walk, don't run to the nearest exit!
Okay, spread out!
Get as many people out as you can.
Come on out! This way!
- Come on! This way!
- You too! Let's go!
Chief, we need hose lines
ion the theater.
It's cooking in here. Come on.
51, get in there with that hose line.
Copy that, Chief!
Smoke inhalation to the left,
burn victims to the right.
Got it.
Hey, Chief.
I'll take over directing triage.
Thank you, Chief Hawkins.
Okay.
One more minute, and I want
everybody out of there.
I do not like the way that this looks.
The door is jammed!
Help us!
Cruz, Halligan!
Copy!
Please hurry!
Here we go.
Run out that way!
Right this way. Sir.
Go all the way down. You got him?
- Stay low.
- Stay low, stay low.
Come on, man.
Coming through. Coming through!
Keep it going. There you go.
Here we go.
- Hey!
- This way! Come on!
Hey!
Over hey, hey!
- No, not that way.
- Gallo!
Wait!
Mayday! Mayday! Chief, it's Gallo!
Gallo's down! Gallo's down!
Stay focused. They'll get him.
- Gallo!
- Gallo!
Mouch!
Got 'em, got 'em!
Go!
Capp! Tony!
Come on! Let's go!
Gallo?
Here we go. This way!
Come on.
Gallo!
Go!
Come on!
Gallo!
- Carver, you see Gallo?
- Negative, Lieutenant!
I don't have him.
Gallo!
Hey, where's Kidd and Gallo?
Okay, Kidd, need a report on Gallo.
We got Gallo, Chief.
We're coming out.
Primary search is complete.
PAR is all good.
All firefighters are clear.
Okay, let's go defensive.
Bring out the water cannon.
You got it, Chief.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
Come on.
What's your name?
Gabriel.
Okay, Gabriel. Gabriel.
Let's go.
Chief Boden, looks like
Hawkins needs help
with a victim over here.
That's it. That's it.
Mayday!
Mayday! North side!
We got two! Hawkins and a victim!
Come on!
Get in there.
Easy, easy.
Watch it, watch it, watch it! Watch it.

Lieutenant!
- Lift him.
- Oh, God. Oh, God.
Okay, easy, easy.
One, two, three.
- Easy, easy.
- One, two, three.
Back, back!
Got him!
Keep working, guys!
Watch your step.
- Keep working!
- Got to get him clear!
Sliding down.
Gotta get these doors out of here.
Don't press!
Watch it, watch it, watch it!
Watch it! Careful!
Get out, get out, get out!
Move, move! Go!
Come on, Evan. Come on, Evan.
Talk to me, Evan. Come on. Talk to me.
Just talk to me. Talk to me, Evan.
Talk to me. Please, please, please.
Please.
Please, please, come on, Evan.
Evan, talk to me. Come on. Talk to me.
Come on.
Please, God, please!
Please, Evan, please!
Please, no! No!
- I can do it!
- Let them work.
I can save him, please. No!
Let them work.
Let them work.
- No, Evan!
- Let them work.
No.
One, two, three.
No!
No. No. No!
He was just looking at me.
- Please, Chief, let me try.
- I got you.
- Let me try.
- I got you.
No! No, no!
No!
No, no, no, no, no.
because of some cop on the take.
- We're on top of it.
- Well, what's the hold-up?
Hey, it's a police matter,
let the police handle it.
- You're not!
- Stay in your lane.
You just lost yourself
a valuable friend.
How come you're going along
with me in all of this?
You don't even like me.
Chief Boden sees something in you.
This has been a chance
for me to see it for myself.
It's you I'm worried about.
You haven't slowed down
even for a breath.
Casey and I broke up.
So can you help me?
- Yeah.
- Great.
Listen, and I get that,
but I've been a lieutenant for a while,
and it seems a little off that
I don't have my own quarters.
What are you talking about?
I waited five years.
Like Minnesota Fats said,
"Them's the breaks."
Uh-huh.
It's a seniority issue.
You're third in line.
You really don't
understand marriage, do you?
Always support your wife.
You were agreeing with me!
Listen, I cannot keep using this room
as my temporary workspace.
It's not right.
How's your partner doing?
Between Casey
and the paramedicine incident,
not good.
That was one hell of a one-two punch.
Yeah.
I got to take her out or something,
get her mind off of everything going on.
Okay, people, I got a lot to go over,
so let's get to it.
First off
gutter duty.
Okay, get your griping out the way.
You got ten seconds.
Evan's gonna spend more time
commuting in his car
than out doing his job.
Busted down to District 6.
- That blows.
- Yeah.
Guess I shouldn't complain.
At least we don't have to
sneak around like a couple
oh.
Uh, what am I talking about?
You don't want to hear about my nonsense
when you're going through what you're
No, Violet, no walking
on eggshells around me.
I mean it. Just because
Brett, can I grab you for a second?
Richardson at dispatch
has the inside track
on some new radios for our ambulance.
Carver.
Hey, Chief, just grabbing
a maintenance request form.
You in a hurry?
No, no. What's up?
Well, you've been with us
for a few shifts now.
I just want to check in with you,
see how you're liking it.
Very much so.
It's a great house.
Best group of people I've come
across in the CFD, hands down.
I certainly think so.
And you and Kidd, how's it working?
Great.
Sorry. I cut you off.
Hmm.
I just wanted to ask how
you and Kidd are getting along.
Yeah, great.
We're alone, you know.
Speak your mind.
She's an outstanding lieutenant.
As for our personalities, sure,
we're a little different,
but that just makes the job
more of a thrill ride, right?
Right.
- Hey, don't mind me.
- Okay.
Did you agree with the
incident report format
that Boden was talking about
this morning?
I hadn't thought about it.
Well, it seems like if we
have been filing the reports
in a certain way for literally forever,
we don't need a new system
for uploading the files.
You know, so what, headquarters
can not review them sooner?
What are you doing?
I am talking about incident reports.
No.
Okay, best I can eyeball it,
your office is about 80 square feet?
- Sure.
- Well, that's perfect.
There's plenty of room in the
Truck 81, Engine 51, Ambulance 61.
Pin in accident.
To be continued.
We got two injured drivers.
One is pinned.
All right, let's get
a line ready on this sedan!
Brett, we need C-collars,
a second ambulance.
Gallo, Mouch, get the jaws and cutter.
- Copy that.
- Copy, copy!
Uh, Lieutenant?
Gallo, Carver, grab flares.
- Go to the end of that street.
- Copy.
I don't want any animals hit.
Copy that.
- Mouch, you got the jaws?
- Yeah.
All right, take it easy.
Try not to move, ma'am.
We're gonna get you out of there.
Good. Let's go.
You doing all right, sir?
Ellis.
You doing all right, Ellis?
How is she?
She is conscious, so that's good.
But you sit tight until
we can have some paramedics
come and take a look at you, okay?
Nah. Nah.
Oh, hell's bells.
Got her open, Lieutenant.
Ma'am, tell me what hurts.
I just looked down
at the radio for a second.
Yeah, we get that a lot.
All right, can you follow
my finger with your eyes?
Okay, that's good. No concussion.
How about the rest of you?
My side, it really hurts.
Cracked rib?
I don't hear stridor
or diminished lungs.
Okay, we're gonna get you
to Med and have
- a doctor check you out, okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, easy.
Come on, easy. Just lay on your back.
That's it.
Well, that's thank you.
Ellis, we got
a second ambulance on the way.
I really want you to take it.
You should at least get
your head looked at.
I really don't need all of that stuff.
What I do need is to get
my goats out of the road
so some fool don't run them over.
Give me a second.
- Hey, Hermann.
- Yeah.
How's about a little wager?
What you got in mind?
Well, Ellis here needs
his goats corralled.
Uh-huh.
So how about the one of us who
gets the most goats back
in the animal carrier
gets your office?
I already got my office.
That's not how a bet works.
Okay, if you win, I'll work
in Molly's for a month for
You're on!
Sheesh.
All right, all right, all right.
Ooh.
- Number seven!
- Whoo! 51, baby!
And that is how you do it.
I may not have thought this one through.
I'm Chicago born and raised.
But every summer, I go to Wisconsin
to my uncle Leslie's goat farm.
Of course you did.
51, pack it up.
Lunch is on me when we get back.
I'm sorry again for
chattering on about Evan.
I know what you're going through.
Dispatch, we're going down
in order to restock equipment.
Copy that, 61.
What are we restocking?
Our stomachs.
Listen, I'm gonna give it
to you straight.
I like hearing about you and Evan.
I like seeing you two together.
In fact, because he's going
to be leaving the district soon
and your chances
of seeing him during shift
are gonna be remote,
I thought it'd be nice
if we all grabbed lunch together.
Oh.
Brett.
Come on. I'm starving.
- Chief.
- Stella, what's on your mind?
Well, I am glad you asked, Chief,
because I'm just gonna
come right out and say it.
I need my own lieutenant's quarters.
Stella, I've been down
this road many times.
This is a firehouse with three apparatus
and only two officers' quarters.
Here's the thing, Chief.
I've thought about that.
The laundry room is more
than spacious enough.
The laundry room?
It's right next to the bunk room,
so I'd be close to my men.
And it can easily be
cleaned up and refitted
to accommodate a desk.
Also, let's be honest.
It is a little off that I am
the only female officer
at 51 and
Fine.
Laundry room's all yours.
Someone looks happy.
- Someone is happy.
- Hmm.
Hmm.
- You wanted to see me, Chief?
- Ah, yes.
Just had a phone call from Chicago PD.
They have a crime scene
around the corner.
And they have asked for your help.
Me specifically?
Well, the detective
says Trudy Platt told them
that you have a nose
for these types of things,
- whatever that means.
- Intriguing.
Yeah.
Get Cruz to cover squad
while you're out.
Will do, Chief.
You Severide?
Come take a look at something
for us, will you?
Sure.
This who was carted out of here?
Yep.
Best we can figure, he's the homeowner
who was supposed to be out of
town with his family on vacation
but had to cut his trip short for work.
Surprised the guy
breaking into his safe,
gets a bullet in his head
for his trouble.
And you called me because?
Well, the safe is
supposed to be fireproof.
And what we need to know is
what the killer used to open it.
The desk sergeant at 21st
said you might be
the man who would know.
If we could figure
out what the perp used
to put a hole in the fireproof safe,
maybe it'll give us
a clue to the killer.
Hey! What's he doing here?
Oh, easy, Detective.
I got his name from over
Forget it. I want him out of here.
Look, you clear it with me
before you invite in an outsider, Luke.
Sergeant Platt said he
could be here to help
Is she in charge of this scene, or am I?
Hey.
You don't want me here, no problem.
But Pryma, you should know
there's no such thing as fireproof.
If you get any metal hot
enough, it turns to liquid.
Could have been done
with an acetylene torch
or an Arcair torch.
Could have been punched with
nitroglycerin or C4 or RDX.
But I won't be able to tell you
because you have a personal beef.
Fine. You want to take some pictures?
Send us your thoughts.
The city thanks you.
I was gonna pick up the check.
No way. Are you kidding me?
You made my whole day when you called.
Well, thank you.
Violet's lucky to have friends like you.
Aw.
Speaking of friends, I know
it might be a little soon,
and feel free to yell at me, but
Evan, I don't know.
I have a good buddy
who I play hockey with.
He's a great guy.
He runs a bar in Logan Square,
volunteers a ton
at Lurie Children's Hospital.
And I just thought
you two might hit it off.
Oh, that's so sweet of you,
but yeah, a little soon.
Told you.
No, no, it's awesome
of you to think of me.
I really do appreciate it.
Anytime.
And you didn't yell at me,
so there's that.
Thanks again for setting this up.
And I will see you tomorrow
after your shift.
Can't wait.
- I love you.
- Love you too.
Sorry about that.
Aw, he is a ridiculously good guy.
And that lunch idea was ridiculously
thoughtful of you.
Well, I was, and always
will be, a hopeless romantic.
It makes me happy to see you happy.
Carver?
Lieutenant.
Your construction gigs,
were you more of a hammer
and saw guy, or would
you map out renovations,
that kind of thing?
I've done a few fixer uppers.
Flipped a house down in South Shore.
Great come help me
convert the laundry room
into my office.
Doesn't facilities do that?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is more of a,
"I am not gonna wait
six months for facilities
to approve the paperwork" kind of thing.
Hmm.
What?
It just seems like
you're asking for my help.
Yeah.
But you didn't ask.
You more like gave an order.
Or you know what? No problem.
Lieutenant, team player.
I'll take a look.
Okay, lots of space to work with.
So what I'm thinking is,
Coke machine, gone.
Washer-dryer, gone.
Desk goes right here.
Floating shelves on this wall.
Really? Even into this brick?
Hammer drill with a carbide
tip, zhoop-zhoop, two seconds.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, then.
And you've got plenty
of power and light.
That's what I'm saying.
Hey, Kelly.
Can you help me find a new home
for the washer-dryer here?
Help Kidd find a new home
for the washer and dryer.
We're getting ready to
Or you could run drills on the roof
till the sun goes down.
Fine.
- Thank you, gentlemen.
- Hmm.
We're gonna have to run temporary hoses
and accordion ventilation.
I'm sure you can figure it all out.
Come with me.
What are you guys doing?
We have to move these out
of Kidd's new office.
Oh, well, finally a job
that suits your talents.
Something that doesn't require thinking.
Hey, Chief.
I just I just wanted to say thank you
for letting Javi
play candidate last week.
Oh, always great to see him,
which got me thinking
that you might want to bring him over,
and then Terrance and he, they
could just toss the football and talk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be great.
Excuse me.
Hey. What are you doing?
Relocating the washer and
dryer into the briefing room.
No, you're not.
Find somewhere else.
Let's take this in my office.
Knock, knock.
Van Meter!
Hey, I just wanted you
to email me your thoughts
on the photos I sent.
I was heading over
to the academy anyway.
These are all the old
safe cracking/arson files
I could pull from the OFI archives.
They go back about ten years.
- That's more than I thought.
- Yeah.
7,000 robbery-burglaries
a year in Chicago, my friend.
These represent oh but
a tiny portion of the troubles
that ail our fair city.
Did you look at these?
Yeah.
If I figure out what device was used
to burn through this safe,
CBD says they can
narrow the suspect list.
I'm gonna guess an Arcair torch,
but dig through these,
see if there are any that look similar.
A bunch of them were solved,
so they probably
have the methods detailed.
Yeah, will do. Thank you.
On that note,
I got to get to the academy.
- Good luck.
- Yeah.
Hey, Chief.
You remember that fire about
two weeks ago in North Erie,
the one with the fire-resistant
safe up in the bedroom?
I do. I pass by it on my way to work.
It's still boarded up.
Yes, you can go check it out.
I'll let Cruz know.
Thanks, Chief.
What the hell are you doing here?
This is a fire scene, Pryma.
The better question is,
what the hell are you doing here?
I was looking over
suspicious cases in the area,
and this house stuck out
bedroom on fire.
With a floor safe nearby.
Exactly.
I was doing the same thing.
Our detective working the case
said the safe was never opened.
Fire investigation said the same thing.
Ruled it arson.
Yeah, but CPD couldn't
figure out a motive.
Homeowner?
Spends half the time in Florida,
wasn't in Chicago when this happened.
Interviewed him remotely,
but we didn't get a bad hit off of him.
I looked through both addresses
to see if there's any connection,
but I'm pulling zeros right now.
This is a similar model to
the cracked safe this morning,
which drew both our attention,
only this wasn't opened.
That's correct.
The fire started here
Here
And here.
Meaning someone lit the drapes
or curtains on fire.
Okay.
Okay, what if our safecracker,
he comes in, he moves over to the safe,
he tries to torch his way in,
but he doesn't know what he's doing yet.
He gets spooked or pissed
or whatever and he gives up.
Then he decides to
Light the room on fire
out of frustration.
Or to cover his tracks.
So you're saying this safe
was his first attempt?
Well, most arsonists start small.
They work their way up.
Partly a mental compulsion.
It's also practice.
Maybe safecrackers do the same thing.
So he fails here,
waits a few weeks,
and then cracks the safe on West Hersh.
Exactly.
All right, it seems like if we find
a connection between the two houses,
- we land on a suspect.
- We?
Experience tells me
you're gonna see this through
whether I want you to or not.
So you share anything
you find in your files.
I'll do the same thing.
Done.
That's why I called
equipment and supplies.
I don't have the hoses
you promised me in August.
I'm looking at my calendar, Larry.
What do you think it says?
It says October.
Hang on a sec.
Hey!
- Chief, we thought
- No.
Carver?
Yeah, Lieutenant?
You work construction, yeah?
I did.
I still do, apparently.
These are from a fire scene
a couple of weeks ago.
These studs here and here,
they're different, right?
Yeah, you can see them here.
This house had some renovations done.
Behind this sheetrock,
old studs that are pre-1964,
actual 2x4s.
And over here,
that's newer construction.
Those studs are
No.
Go on.
Those studs are modern 3 1/2x1 1/2s.
And light and color.
I'm saying this is recent work,
like in the last couple of months.
Thanks, Carver.
You got it.
What's this?
Here you are, going through it,
and all you think about
is making my day better.
So I made you a failed attempt
at Asiago cheesy bread.
Do I eat it or?
No, you can throw that right away.
But I wanted you to see my effort
and to say thank you again
for lunch today.
Look, Violet, I really
appreciate you saying that
and baking me this,
but I'm fine.
I
I've been thinking a lot about the fact
that I had this call a few years ago.
This woman had been stabbed
by her neighbor in her bedroom,
and I got there too late,
and she died in front of me.
At the time, it really got to me.
And I ended up bawling
my eyes out in my car later,
completely shattered.
But this job,
this life
It forges you in steel.
I'm a lot stronger now.
And when I was attacked
on that paramedicine run,
my mind wasn't saying,
get out of here, run, get help.
It was saying, stay cool
and handle this, Sylvie.
And with Matt,
I can either bawl my eyes out,
or I can get back to work
and get better at living every day.
That's what I choose to do.
Hey, Detective Pryma.
So I have an idea of what
ties the two houses together.
Both were recently remodeled,
and I'm gonna guess
by the same contractor who knew
where the safe was
and when the owners would be away.
There's a sign in the yard
of the first house
that says Big T Construction,
which is located
about a mile from here.
I'm gonna go poke around.
- Help you?
- Yeah.
I'm Kelly Severide with the
Chicago Fire Department.
I was hoping to talk
to somebody from Big T.
I'm Tom, the owner. How can I help?
Hear anything about
a robbery at 5317 West Hersh?
Yeah, I did, actually.
I'm doing the bathrooms over there.
When I showed up this morning,
the police said
it was a crime scene and to keep away.
That's all they told you?
Yeah.
You do the renovations
at 2221 North Erie?
No.
You know, we did bid on that
job, and they turned us down.
But the plumber
we work with, Jack Howard,
- he did both those renos.
- Really?
Yeah, he's here. We share a space.
You want to talk to him?
I would, actually.
I got your message.
Yeah, the guy was just
telling me about it.
There he is now. Hey, hey, Jack.
These guys are looking for you.
Oh!
This is Detective Prima.
Send me two squads and an SI unit
to Big T's Construction
on South Campbell.
We've got the guy.
- Hey.
- Hey.
There something you want to say to me?
Lots of things, yeah.
I mean about the shelves I put up.
You saw them, right?
I did. They're good.
Thank you.
Good or really good?
Somewhere in that range, yeah.
You know, if you give me a compliment
or say "great job,"
you won't turn to dust.
You should try it sometime.
You're very needy.
Do you know that?
Hey. Where you been?
I've been out with the CPD. You?
You look like you've
been rolling in dirt.
Yeah, I had to climb under a house
where a little kid
thought it'd be a great idea
to play hide and seek
and got himself stuck.
You look like Pigpen.
Yeah.
I'm gonna hit the shower.
What'd I miss?
Nada.
With you playing fire cop
and Tony and Capp
moving that washer and dryer
all over the house,
I've had the squad table all to myself.
It's been pretty nice, actually.
Looky here.
- Right?
- Coming together.
I stole a desk out of the blue office.
- These are cool.
- Yeah.
Carver.
Yeah, he puts up perfect shelves.
I still want to punch him, but.
Well, you made it happen.
You had an idea, you got it done.
- What I love about you.
- Oh.
Where'd the washer and dryer end up?
Huh?
Squad 3, Truck 81,
Engine 51, Ambulance 61.
Structure fire, 3447 South Damen Avenue.
I don't know what happened.
It sprang up out of nowhere.
How many people inside?
I don't know.
I saw some people trapped by the screen.
And Brady and Ivy are down
in the storage room.
Severide, we got two trapped downstairs.
Kidd, primary search inside the theater.
- Copy.
- Herrmann, get two lines in there.
- Got it.
- You hold it back as long as you can.
Copy that. Let's go, boys.
Guys, we got
two minutes in here, not ten.
- How many in there?
- Two.
Truck, primary search
inside the theater.
Brett, set up triage
outside of the collab zone.
I've already called in EMS Plan One,
so cavalry's on its way.
- Okay.
- But you keep them back.
This building isn't
gonna last much longer.
You got it, Chief.
Everyone come to me
so we can get you on oxygen
and make sure you're okay.
Be patient. We will get to you.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Ready, Truck? Let's move our asses!
Ready? Stand by to charge the line.
All right.
- Come on. Keep moving!
- This way!
- Keep moving!
- This way!
Come on!
Keep moving. Keep moving!
Okay, everyone, stay calm!
Walk, don't run to the nearest exit!
Okay, spread out!
Get as many people out as you can.
Come on out! This way!
- Come on! This way!
- You too! Let's go!
Chief, we need hose lines
ion the theater.
It's cooking in here. Come on.
51, get in there with that hose line.
Copy that, Chief!
Smoke inhalation to the left,
burn victims to the right.
Got it.
Hey, Chief.
I'll take over directing triage.
Thank you, Chief Hawkins.
Okay.
One more minute, and I want
everybody out of there.
I do not like the way that this looks.
The door is jammed!
Help us!
Cruz, Halligan!
Copy!
Please hurry!
Here we go.
Run out that way!
Right this way. Sir.
Go all the way down. You got him?
- Stay low.
- Stay low, stay low.
Come on, man.
Coming through. Coming through!
Keep it going. There you go.
Here we go.
- Hey!
- This way! Come on!
Hey!
Over hey, hey!
- No, not that way.
- Gallo!
Wait!
Mayday! Mayday! Chief, it's Gallo!
Gallo's down! Gallo's down!
Stay focused. They'll get him.
- Gallo!
- Gallo!
Mouch!
Got 'em, got 'em!
Go!
Capp! Tony!
Come on! Let's go!
Gallo?
Here we go. This way!
Come on.
Gallo!
Go!
Come on!
Gallo!
- Carver, you see Gallo?
- Negative, Lieutenant!
I don't have him.
Gallo!
Hey, where's Kidd and Gallo?
Okay, Kidd, need a report on Gallo.
We got Gallo, Chief.
We're coming out.
Primary search is complete.
PAR is all good.
All firefighters are clear.
Okay, let's go defensive.
Bring out the water cannon.
You got it, Chief.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
Come on.
What's your name?
Gabriel.
Okay, Gabriel. Gabriel.
Let's go.
Chief Boden, looks like
Hawkins needs help
with a victim over here.
That's it. That's it.
Mayday!
Mayday! North side!
We got two! Hawkins and a victim!
Come on!
Get in there.
Easy, easy.
Watch it, watch it, watch it! Watch it.
Got him!
Severide!

- Oh, God. Oh, God.
Okay, easy, easy.
One, two, three.
- Easy, easy.
- One, two, three.
Back, back!
Got him!
Keep working, guys!
Watch your step.
- Keep working!
- Got to get him clear!
Sliding down.
Gotta get these doors out of here.
Don't press!
Watch it, watch it, watch it!
Watch it! Careful!
Get out, get out, get out!
Move, move! Go!
Come on, Evan. Come on, Evan.
Talk to me, Evan. Come on. Talk to me.

Let them work.
Let them work.

No.
One, two, three.
No!
No. No. No!
He was just looking at me.

- I got you.
- Let me try.
- I got you.
No! No, no!
No!
No, no, no, no, no.
