I heard about what happened in Miami.
You must keep your ear really
close to the ground, huh?
I saw he was bleeding from his leg,
so I used my shirt
to try and tie it off.
You probably saved his life.
We're gonna debrief later
about how hot he was, right?
There's a great bar nearby
if you maybe wanted to grab a drink.
I'm in.
Tori has been wild

Hasn't slowed down a bit.
We can sleep when we're dead.
I like that.

It's kind of a romantic story,
meeting at a stabbing scene.
Flynn in his undershirt,
you in your paramedic pants.
Right?
OK, so now I need
full details on the date.
How was he?
Well, the date was fun,
but if I understand
- your question correctly
- You do.
Then I don't have an answer for you.
It was classic "getting to
know each other" kind of stuff
daytime, coffee shop, and a park.
I don't see how any of that
makes a difference.
I've had sex in all of those places.
Oh.
You know, you can be very traditional.
Oh.
Hey, what's wrong, Mouch?
- I just got attacked.
- What? By who?
By a deranged bird.
You were attacked by a bird?
What kind of bird?
I don't know what kind of bird, Capp.
Probably a pigeon.
Well, whatever it was,
the vicious little monster
just kept coming at me.
Uh, according to
the National Audubon Society,
birds only attack humans
if their young are being threatened.
This was an unprovoked assault.
And any one of you could be next.

invested in this case.

every right to be in there

Go ahead and try it.
It won't be the first time I
put a firefighter in bracelets.

That bird is definitely targeting Mouch.
And I have to say, it seems personal.
Well, if she wants war, she'll get war.
What do you mean by that?
- I'm calling animal control.
- Don't do it, Mouch.
If they take down the nest,
she'll abandon her clutch.
Believe me, Tony,
I am doing the city a favor.
That unholy freak of nature
should not be allowed to reproduce.
Why not try a peace offering first?
Lay some breadcrumbs out.
Make friends with it.
Bread's terrible for birds.
I have some birdseed in my car, though.
Why do you have birdseed
in your car, Tony?
I do a little birding now and then.
I'll bring in my binoculars
next shift for you, Mouch.
Uh, yeah, hi.
I am calling to report a vicious animal.
Oh, I would definitely say
it's an imminent threat to humans.
I'm sorry, Tony, but I have a line,
and that bird crossed it.
Yeah, I'll hold.
- You wanted to see me?
- Have a seat.
You got pretty short with
those Staties on the scene,
one of whom is a higher rank than you.
Fire investigations
are hard enough as it is.
Putting a hold on it could
make it almost impossible.
And that's your thing,
fire investigations?
Yes, sir.
I went through the ATF's arson program,
did a bunch of federal cases.
And your dad specialized in arson.
- He did.
- You knew Benny?
Yeah, I knew of him.
Next time there's a
jurisdictional issue like that,
if I'm there, just let me handle it.
Yes, Chief.
Law enforcement does like
to think they rule every scene.
When I was in Miami,
PD handcuffed one of my guys
because they didn't like
where we parked the rig.
I found that it's easier, if possible,
just to not piss them off.

How can I help you guys?

Ah.
Glad you were able to get in so quickly.
- And we appreciate that.
- There is an issue.
Yeah, we're missing some
evidence from a storage unit
we believe the fire may have started,
which isn't the same as the unit
where your ghost guns were located.
I didn't hear anything about that.
We just want to be able
to do a clean investigation.

missing from the ignition area,
that would help.

Hope he gets back to us
about that evidence.
Any reason to think he won't?

he was pretty quick to dismiss
missing evidence as no big deal.
Well, if we don't hear back,
we'll stay on him.
Well, I'm gonna go talk
to the victim of that fire.
He's probably still at Med.
That space heater is
not what started it.
Maybe he can give us some insight.
Let me know what you hear.
OK, I thought for sure the pencil emoji
would give it away, no?
I definitely did not see
mini golf coming.

- OK, if you think you're hiding
the disdain in your voice,
you think wrong.
Oh, no disdain.
This is a really fun idea in theory.
But, Flynn, I'm going to let you in
on a little secret about women.
I feel like my life is about to change.
We don't like mini golf.
This is a guys' thing.
Hmm.
I think you're afraid
of getting your ass kicked.
Oh, it's like you're
looking into my soul.
I'm happy to give you a handicap.
Oh, you seriously think
I'm going to lose?
Have you ever played?
No, but I have excellent to perfect
hand-eye coordination, Flynn.
You are a very charming person.
So are you.
OK, so what kind of handicap
are we talking about?
I'll go left-handed.
OK.
And I'll give you
a stroke at every hole.
And yes, I realize how that sounds,
but those are actual golf terms.
If you say so.
[LAUGHS]
You and I got different
definitions of a night out.
This won't take long.
Uh, Nancy.
Hey, uh, Ryan, the victim
that we brought in last shift,
do you know what room he's in?
Oh, I do remember
your medics bringing him in,
but once they left,
he refused treatment.
Left against doctor's orders.
Did you get his last name?
He didn't check in.
You know how it is
when someone's uninsured,
can't pay the bills.
- Any police stop by looking for him?
- State troopers?
No.
That, I would have heard about.
Sorry I don't have anything for you.
- OK.
- Thanks for the info.
If this guy was a witness
at their crime scene,
why wouldn't the Staties
want to talk to him?
No surprise.
Turns out I am amazing at mini golf,
and I beat Flynn so badly,
he just stopped keeping score.
Let me guess.
He hasn't returned
your calls or texts since.
As a matter of fact,
he asked me to surprise him
and choose the location
of our next date.
- And still no action?
- Still no action.
Hmm.
- Hey, what's up, Mouch?
- That bird still bothering you?
Yeah, what happened with animal control?
Well, they refused to take action
some kind of policy against
disturbing a brooding female.
- Whew.
- Wish we had that at 51.

are now running the asylum.

So where are we at with the evidence
from our fire scene?
Oh, I wanted to give it back.
Trust me.
But when I asked the DA,
she looked at me like I had two heads.
She needs it to put the criminals away.
Hmm.
That's interesting.
My understanding was the evidence was in
a separate unit from the guns.
Well, maybe things got
moved around during the fire.
I've seen it happen before.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Do you know what
that evidence actually was?
Even that information could help.
♪
I'll get those details for you.
That'd be great.

What are the odds
we both know Chief Hendricks?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we go way back, Hendricks and me.
I used to go to him with questions
if my case involved fire.
And he'd come to me for help
with his investigations.
You know, teamwork like that
can really come in handy
when departments work together.
Couldn't agree more.
You and I keep working together,
we'll get a clean conviction
on our gun case.
A win like that will save
countless lives.
And that's the goal.
Hey, I'm I'm glad
you feel that way, Dom.
'Cause the thing is,
your guy, Severide,
he doesn't seem to understand
the situation like we do.
Maybe you could explain the
whole "teamwork" idea to him?

Huh? [CHUCKLING]
That may be the grossest
thing I've ever heard.
You gotta love that

Question.
OK.
You have any idea what's
going on with Carver?
I know he had the blow up with
the girlfriend at your party.
Mm-hmm.
No, I'm I'm not exactly sure.
I've decided to stay out of it,
which seems to be what he wants.
Yeah, it's not just you.
It's it's like he's gone cold.
Yeah, icy, even.
Yeah.
Hey, have you picked
a place to take Flynn yet?
Ugh, no.
And I'm actually starting
to panic about it.
Wow, I am tanking this conversation.
- [LAUGHS]
- Uh, let's let's brainstorm.
- OK?
- OK.
Kelly and I had a great
dinner the other night.
OK, go on.
You never returned my call.
What do you need?
I stopped by Med to talk with
Ryan from the storage fire.
He's in the wind.
There's no trace of him anywhere.
Can he really tell us
anything we don't already know?
He's our only witness to that fire.
At best, he could tell us something
that helps us solve the case.
At worst, he's an arsonist.
We need to loop in Van Meter
and get an OFI case started.
No one was seriously hurt,
and the property that was
damaged is insured.
I know you want to get
to the bottom of every case,
but I'm not feeling like
this is a top priority.
We're going to put it
on the back burner for now.
I'm not letting this fall
to the bottom of the pile.
I wasn't asking that
We need to hold someone accountable.
Severide, I'm starting
to get the feeling that
you got a problem with authority.
- Or is it just me?
- Neither, Chief.
I just don't understand why you
suddenly want this case buried.
Lieutenant Severide, I said back off.

That is an order.

Pascal completely bulldozed
my investigation

I don't know what this
Bishop guy is up to,

No.

Not really, I was gonna try,

The levels in your SCBA tank
you didn't change it out

Of course I did.

Our lieutenant.

You're a little bit early.
Our next date isn't

Good morning.
I know. Thing is, I have to cancel.

it's gonna be a late night.
I wanted to tell you in person

it's so hard to tell the tone, you know?

I was blowing things off.
Hmm.

Not a good time, Severide.
This won't take long.
You started acting differently
once Bishop brought up Hendricks' name,
like a switch got flipped.
I couldn't figure out why.
Then I did some digging.
♪
That wasn't easy to track down.
Kept his name out of the press.
Nate Hendricks was a fire chief in Miami
before he got busted for his involvement
in a drug trafficking ring.
If Bishop and Hendricks
are the type of guys
you're used to running with,
my firehouse is not the place for you.

- Bishop is dirty.
- You're right.
Thought it was a little off when
they got to that fire scene so fast.
Then he brought up Hendricks.
That's the real tell.
So why'd you steamroll
my arson investigation?
Do you think Bishop was gonna stand by
and let you dig through
his dirty laundry?
He wasn't, and he made that
perfectly clear.
So you were already on it?
He's been feeling me out for days,
trying to see if I was cut from
the same cloth as Hendricks.
I went to his
internal affairs department,
and tell you what, they
already have a file on Bishop,
just no hard evidence yet.
And you're helping them get it?

So what do we do next?
Well, there is, um,
no "we" here, Lieutenant.
You think I'm gonna sit

Bishop doesn't shy away from violence,
and he does not make empty threats.
I'm in.
