"I can take the tire with my pry axe, but it'll jerk the car." " I'll hold him steady." "We can get a line in him to ease the pain." " No." "I'm already on painkillers." "It might not interact well." " You sure?" "What are you on?" " Oxycodone." "It's prescription." "I was injured on the job." "I used to be denver fire department." "Go ahead with the tire." " Will do." " Go." "[air hisses]" " [groans]" " Hang on, bud." "[metal creaking]" " [groans]" " Your arm's gonna be okay." "You got blood flow." " I owe you one, lieutenants." " Hey, chief." " I just got off the phone" "With chuck ewing at o.E.M.C." "You filed a report against one of their dispatchers?" " [exhales] yes, sir." " Why would you not mention that to me?" " Uh, I wanted to keep the situation private." " Well, next time, you go through me." " Because right now you are in a he-said, she-said situation" "With this victor ramsey." " What does that mean?" " Apparently, he's one of their top men," "And he is denying harassment." "I'm told the tapes don't indicate" "Much more than a few personal hellos," "Which he's been told to stop, by the way." " He was calling me on my cell phone." " He claims it was a social call," "That he met up with you for a beer last week at your request." "Is that true?" " [sighs]" "Yes." " Did he threaten you?" "Well, he has gotten a warning," "But that is the best that we can do right now." " Yes, sir." "I get it." "I don't get it." "So he's good at his job, so he's allowed to get away with" "Being personal and crazy with female emts?" " It's just stalker behavior." "To actually hurt somebody before they do anything about it?" "It's ridiculous." " Exactly." " Who's stalking?" " Uh, this wack-a-doo dispatcher ramsey." "He got all weird with dawson, and they're not gonna" "Do anything about it over at o.E.M.C." " [sighs]" " Do you want me to talk to my dad?" "There's no reason to pull any favors from your dad on this." "I'm sure it'll just work itself out." " Right." "But thank you." "That's nice." " Yeah, thanks." " Okay." "Well..." "Let me know if you change your mind." " Hey, how was that firefighter?" "The good samaritan guy?" " He had mobility in the arm" "When we dropped him off, looked good." "But that injury he was talking about" "That knocked him off the job, that was four years ago." " So the painkillers he's on?" " He's been on those a long time." " Severide, shay." "Will you gather everyone up?" "Tell 'em meet me in the common room." "Okay." "Uh, look, I know it's the end of shift and you're all anxious" "To get home, but I wanted you all to hear this from me." "Unfortunately, mrs." "Brooker, the woman who lost her husband" "At the 47th street fire..." "She's charging the c.F.D. With wrongful death." " What does that mean?" " It means she's pinning his death on us." " Okay." " [knocks]" " What?" " Hey." " Bloom, right?" " Yeah." "Oh, you're the squad lieutenant" "Pulled me out from underneath that car." " Yeah, kelly severide." " This is temporary." " Oh, vintage airstreams, these things are nice." " Yeah, well, this one could use refurbishing." "I'm only drawing a partial severance," "So I can't really afford to put any money in it." "Hey, thanks for saving my arm." " Yeah." " My chances of getting back on the job would've been zero" "If I'd been left with a stump, so..." " Seeing what you did to help that lady," "Being able to get you out, it meant a lot to us." "It's been a-- it's been a rough week." "Fellow firefighter is a brother, no matter what the city." "You ever want to come by 51, we'd be glad to have you." " You know, I got a-- I got a pot on the stove," "And I need to get back to it, so you take care." " Yeah, sure." "You too." " So chief boden says we have to go in" "For the deposition tomorrow." " That's pretty quick." " It's a preliminary meeting." " Does anybody mind if I use one of these lawyers as a latrine?" "'cause that's what they deserve." " Herrmann, I'm eating." " All right, sorry." " Hey, mouch." "So let's talk about potential prospects for you." "Yeah, 'cause that ain't gonna happen." " I realize that." "Like I said, she's currently involved." " Kendra has a friend who met this great guy on this website," "And they're engaged, and I thought you should check it out." "This is for the nursing home set." " Hmm?" "No." "No, it's not." "Kendra's friend's 60." " You think I'm 60?" " No." "Uh-uh, no way." "How old are you?" " Golden oldeez." "[laughter]" " Hey." "Hey, how old is mouch?" " My age." " Hmm." "[cell phone beeps]" " Hey, apartment's ours." " That's fantastic!" " Yeah." "We just have to meet the landlord tomorrow at 3:00." "Show him we're not serial killers." "I'm meeting the trainer tomorrow at the academy." " Just push it to next week." " I can't." "I got to get as much time as I can get" "From this guy before the test." " I'll help you work out this weekend." " It's not the same." "It's drills with other candidates." " All right." " This is when lee henry starts shouting," ""are you getting divorced?" "Can I live with mom?" [chuckles] [alarm sounds]" " Ambulance 61, man down, chicago and rush." " Hey, bloom." " Oh, hey." "Hey, is it a good time?" "If not, I can come back later." " No, it's a perfect time." "You--come on, I'll show you around." "[siren wails]" " Main to 61, correction on the cross street." "Pearson, not chicago." " Copy that, main." " No more ramsey." "[siren bloops]" " That horse almost killed me!" "You should put him down!" "Look at him!" "He's crazy!" "My leg is broken!" " What took you so long?" "Time is money on my job!" "I cannot just sit here!" " Ma'am we got here quickly as possible, okay?" "Isn't that what she does all day?" "Sit?" " Brady always stops when he sees somebody in front of him." " What?" "That thing just charged at me." "Maybe it has rabies or something." " Oh, please." " Okay." "Sir, why don't you show me your leg hurts?" " It's right there, where it's all messed up!" "Look." " How long is this gonna take?" "'cause I need to pick up a fare." " This contusion's at least three weeks old." " Push there." "Push right there!" "It's broken!" " Okay." "Okay." "We are here to help you." "That is our job, and we are just thrilled to be doing it." "So we will do everything we can to treat your injury." " Yes." "And while we do so," "We hope that you'll refrain from yelling at us." " Or suing us." " Oh, yeah." " Mm-hmm." "Yeah." " Yeah, that would be good." " Okay, you're all wrapped up there," "And it's a pleasure doing business with you." " Best of luck." " Yeah." " Good day, and take care." " Eh!" "[horse nickers]" " So what brought you to chicago?" " Recovering from a back injury, believe it or not." "Had some rehab here." " How's your back?" " Well, it was gettin' better." " You can get back to work soon, then." " Hope so, yeah." " Hey, bloom, grab some chow." "Our candidate's food almost passes as edible these days." " Nah, I'm good." " You got lady firefighters in denver, bloom?" " Yeah, a few, sure." " You miss being on the job?" " Yeah." " Some things I bet you don't miss." "We just got hit with a wrongful death lawsuit" "For a guy who was dead way before we got there." " It was a sad situation, actually." "The father laid down on his whole family" "And ended up saving their lives." " That guy was pretty bad shape by the time we got him out." " Thanks for the welcome, fellas," "But I just noticed the time." "I got a--I got a doctor's appointment." "Why don't you stop by afterward?" " Oh, no, it's all the way across town." "Thanks, though." " Guy hasn't been to a firehouse in four years." "Why the hell you gotta bring up the lawsuit, mouch?" " I didn't realize the topic was off limits, lieutenant." "Next time I'll talk pros and cons of portable extinguishers." " Oh, sorry." " My bad. [chuckles]" " Hey, I saw you talking to jones earlier." "Is she okay?" " Yeah, she'll be fine." "Where you headed?" "Night jog?" " No, I left my gym bag in the car." "I'm gonna go grab it." " What are you--what are you doing here, ramsey?" " I just want to talk to you in private." "I knew you wouldn't take my calls." " I barely know you." "Why are you calling me?" " Well, the thing is, when I started working your district," "And I saw you a couple times on the street cam, and" "You reminded me of a good friend." "And she died a while back." "So I guess it was nice to be reminded." " I'm sorry." " I wanted to help her, and I couldn't." "So I tried to help you." "That's her." "That's lila." "She was a go-getter." "Tough, fearless." "Like you." "She thought about medical school for a while," "But she didn't have the money." "I bet she would've been a good medic." "Maybe you two would've been friends." " Yeah, maybe we would've." " I-I should've told you right away." "I wish I had." "[sighs]" "Rather than freak you out and get myself fired." " You were fired?" " Little on the snug side." " It's fine." " She looks a lot better in a suit than all you do." " Okay." "Let's do this." " And I ordered my men directly to the second floor," "Where the witness heard the children." " Lieutenant casey," "I understand you were the first inside." "Can you tell us what happened after you went in?" " [clears throat] yes." "Three members of my unit," "As well as two from lieutenant severide's," "Entered the main floor and proceeded" "Immediately up the stairs to the second floor." "The door was locked, so we had to take it down." " And how long did that take?" " About ten seconds, I'd say." "It was pretty quick." " And once you got inside?" " We were at zero visibility," "Yelling for anyone to call out, but no one did." "So we split up, and I went directly" "Into the bedroom at the west end of the hall." " And what happened when you entered?" " I got low and moved into the room." "And I was sweeping my arm out when I felt something." " [cries]" " Go ahead, lieutenant." " Uh, I'm not sure mrs." "Brooker wants to hear this." " I'm not going anywhere." " Go ahead." " I moved closer, and, um..." "I felt a man's arm." "I could tell it was burned pretty badly," "And then I reached out further..." "And we felt several small bodies just beneath him." "I called into the radio for help." "When we rolled the man off of his family," "We felt the children moving." "And we were extremely relieved." "[clears throat]" " Lieutenant casey handed the children off" "To the firefighters one by one, then the mother," "Then he and I lifted mr." "Brooker together." " Mrs. Brooker," "I'm lucky enough to work" "With some of the best, bravest firefighters in the world." "What your husband did to save his family..." "That was the bravest thing I've ever seen." " [sobbing]" " Ah..." " Evening, lieutenant." " Hey." "Damn cold out tonight." "Can I come in?" " Nope." "Look, I appreciate the invite down to the station house, I do." "But I'm not the social type." "So you take care of yourself." " Look, bloom, I know what you're going through." "I've been there myself." " You don't know anything about me." "I know something about you, though." "I knew it the first time that you pulled up here." "See you are looking for an easy save." "Oh, yeah, something to make you feel better about yourself." "You need to be the knight in shining armor." "Well, do I look like a damsel in distress?" "Hmm?" "Then go look for your redemption someplace else." " So she's dropping the suit?" " Yeah, forget gratitude and appreciation." "Maybe not gettin' sued is as good as it gets these days." " I just don't understand any of it." " People need to find meaning when someone they love dies." "I get it." " Hey!" "Both:" "Oh!" " Me and cruz-- [casey and dawson laugh]" " Me and cruz just signed a lease on that great apartment." " Yeah, we went to that meeting with the landlord" "Since you guys couldn't make it." "So it's still in the family!" " Yeah." " Oh, and you guys can come over anytime." " Anytime." " Thanks, guys." " Yeah." " Lieutenant, you did us proud in that hearing." " Thanks, mouch." " And I wanted to thank you" "For the good advice the other day, about mari." "You were right." "I need to rally." " Good advice." " Good advice?" "Come on!" " You heard him." " Hey, look who's here!" " Chief!" "Come here." " [laughs]" " Wow." "To what do we owe this honor?" " Feeling some familial pride." "Decided to raise a glass to 51." " Then it's time for another round." "[laughter]" " Hey, um..." "Jones borrowed some equipment off shift" "To practice her swings or something." "Anyway, she forgot to sign it out." "You give me the word, I'll sign the papers and have her d.Q.'d," "Leave it on your desk in the morning." " Deputy district chief jones" "Does not like to be disrespected." "He's gonna make our lives a living hell." "[glasses clink]" " Hey." "Listen, I just wanted to thank you" "For reaching out to your dad." " Hey, no problem." "Honestly, kicking into action felt good." "And besides, I told you at academy." "Us ladies, we got to have each other's backs." "I meant that." " Well..." "[sighs] [laughs] there's another favor I have to ask." "But I really need to get that guy his job back." "It's a long story." " No problem." "You know, my dad has been surprisingly helpful lately." "Nicest he's been to me in years." " He's trying to get you d.Q.'d." " What?" " [sighs] he wants you off the job," "And he's doing everything he can to make sure" "You get stuck behind a desk." " Yo." "Jones!" "Jones, slow down!" "Come on!" "Jones!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hey." "Slow down." "What's up?" "Hold on." "Okay, just-- - come on." "Come on, come back to my place." " Jones, I can't do that." "Just slow down and talk to me." "Okay?" "What's up?" " Screw you." " What?" " Taxi!" " [exhales]"
