07:17All right, let's get him on the non-rebreather
07:18and crank it to 15
07:19Copy
07:20What happened in there, Jerry?
07:21I was running the buffer down the hallway from the office
07:24when the alarm went off.
07:25I should have run, but my dumb ass went to see
07:28if I could stop it.
07:29What did you see?
07:31Cotenza was on fire.
07:33I keep some cleaning supplies in there
07:35to keep me from walking all the way down
07:37to the custodian's closet.
07:39Damn, I hope that's not my cause to this.
07:42You were the only one in there?
07:44Yes, sir.
07:45I'm the only one here on Saturdays, except for the principal,
07:47but he texted me and said he was running late.
07:49All right. We've got to get him to bed.
08:02Okay, you take the wheel and just get us there, Vasquez.
08:05We're not Hobson Shaw.
08:06You got it.
08:19What's all that?
08:20I am packing a GSW to the lower torso, so I need you to start an IV.
08:33Grab an IV kit, 20-gauge catheter, flush syringe,
08:36and don't forget gloves.
08:37Copy.
08:38Read the labels, Vasquez.
08:40Bottom right.
08:41And hurry.
08:42Patient's going into hemorrhagic shock.
08:43Starting an IV is one of the most important skills you need to master as a paramedic.
08:48Mm-hmm.
08:49So.
08:50Let's see what you got.
08:51Don't forget the alcohol swab.
08:52Right.
08:53Right.
08:54Better want to check in and get an infection.
08:55All right, buddy.
08:56Okay.
08:57Okay.
08:58Okay.
08:59All right.
09:00Okay.
09:01All right.
09:02All right, buddy.
09:03Okay.
09:04All right.
09:05All right.
09:06All right.
09:07All right.
09:08All right.
09:09All right.
09:10All right.
09:11All right.
09:12All right.
09:13All right, buddy.
09:14All right.
09:15All right, buddy.
09:16Okay.
09:27Only way to know for sure is to aspirate and check for blood return.
09:31There you go.
09:41Nope.
09:42You went right through it.
09:43Try again.
09:44Bevel side up and pierce the vein.
09:46Don't go right through it.
09:47Pierce the vein.
09:48Copy.
09:49So start a little steeper and flatten out the angle once you're through the skin.
09:52Copy.
09:55Come on.
09:56Come on.
09:57Come on.
09:59Okay.
10:00Check it.
10:01Yep.
10:06Good job.
10:07Okay.
10:08You're in.
10:09Advance the catheter, connect the J-loop, and let's go again.
10:11Yes.
10:12Yes.
10:13Yes.
10:14Yes, yes.
10:33Hello?
10:34This is Lizzie Novak.
10:42Oh, my God. Is she okay?
10:45Okay. Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can.
10:47Thank you for the call.
10:50You came up with this yourself?
10:52Well, I've been talking to lieutenants around the CFD for a while,
10:55gathering information, doing an informal poll, if you will,
10:58but the core principles, for better or worse, they're mine.
11:04Give me a minute.
11:06Mm-hmm.
11:11Chief, I was just on my way to lunch with the police commissioner,
11:15and he had just canceled.
11:17So I picked up some sandwiches from Ferrara Bakery.
11:21I know it's a long shot, and it's a little more than coffee,
11:24but it is just lunch.
11:26Any interest?
11:32So it wasn't electrical.
11:34No, the origin point is too high.
11:37What about that smell? It's intense.
11:39Well, it could be mineral oil or paraffin.
11:43Once it's all burned away, it's hard to tell one petroleum-based chemical
11:47from another just by the smell of it.
11:48So you got to send it to the lab to make sure, huh?
11:51Yeah.
11:52You can get a good idea by tasting it,
11:54although officially it's against protocol.
11:56Well, that must be the cleanest supplies the janitor was talking about.
12:03Yep.
12:05Morning, Kevin.
12:06Gentlemen.
12:08What do we got there, Lieutenant?
12:09Well, I think this one was hand sanitizer.
12:12Probably got fire cooking that much hotter,
12:16but I don't think it's the source of the odor in here.
12:22Check this out.
12:25I'm guessing it's a coffee maker, or was.
12:27I think you're right.
12:31It's definitely the source.
12:33Paint thinner?
12:40That's gasoline.
12:42And a lot of it.
12:45Based on how hot the fire burned in here,
12:47I'd say they filled the whole damn reservoir with it.
12:49But enough to burn down the whole school.
12:50I think he may have had a more specific target in mind.
13:12Officially, we'd call it an improvised incendiary device.
13:16So someone did this on purpose?
13:18Almost certainly.
13:19The coffee maker served as a crude timing device.
13:22Probably gave the perpetrator two, three minutes to clear out.
13:25Any idea of who might have done this?
13:28I mean, I can't give you any names,
13:29but I have been getting these text messages.
13:33Nasty stuff.
13:34Threats.
13:35Profanities.
13:36All from an unknown number.
13:39When did they start?
13:40Oh, let's see.
13:41In the third, so a week and a half ago.
13:46I assumed it was a student of an axe to grind.
13:49Not that that narrows things down at all, unfortunately.
13:53I never thought that it would escalate into actual violence.
13:57There was a kid outside, just as the fire got going.
14:00Maybe 14, 15 years old, tall, lanky black kid with a bright red skateboard.
14:05Is that him?
14:12Name's Wyatt Moore.
14:14He's a bright kid, but trouble.
14:16His parents are going through an ugly divorce, so I've tried to cut him some slack.
14:19I caught him smoking cannabis in the parking lot a couple of weeks ago and had to suspend him for all the good that it did him.
14:26Why do you say that?
14:27Well, I ran into Wyatt last night at the boys' basketball game at Lane Tech.
14:32I suspected that he was under the influence again, but he denied it.
14:37With some choice words?
14:39Left me worried that he is not on a good path.
14:42Does he seem like the type of kid who could do something like this?
14:44I wish I could tell you no.
14:54Excuse me?
14:56Hi.
14:56I got a call about a patient, Heidi Novak.
14:59I'm her sister.
15:05Oh, my God, Heidi.
15:07What are you doing here?
15:09Apparently, I am still an emergency contact in your phone.
15:13Paramedic called me.
15:14What happened?
15:18Nothing.
15:21I mean, it's not a big deal.
15:22I think I was just majorly dehydrated.
15:25The medic said that you were passed out at a bus stop and you almost got hit by a car.
15:28The lady who called 911 said that she couldn't wake you up.
15:31She thought you were dead.
15:33Did you know you're not supposed to drink grapefruit juice when you take a sleeping pill?
15:36Because I sure didn't.
15:42Heidi?
15:42I'm dead serious.
15:43Google it.
15:46It's really bad.
15:51I just remember going to bed and waking up in the ambulance.
15:57Did you take more than one pill?
15:58You couldn't tell me the truth.
16:04I literally just told you.
16:05Are you sure?
16:06I didn't do this on purpose, Lizzie.
16:09I swear to God, okay?
16:12I know that's what you're thinking.
16:13I would never say that, but I'm not mom, okay?
16:25It was my first campaign, a city council election up in Madison.
16:32Turkey or Tuscan chicken?
16:34Turkey.
16:34Decisive.
16:35Decisive.
16:35I like it.
16:37Anyway, my candidate lost by 12 votes, but I didn't care.
16:40I was absolutely hooked on politics.
16:42God, my phone doesn't stop ringing ever since I have to take this, sorry.
16:48Of course.
16:50What's the latest?
16:52Of course they're going to say that.
16:53How many schools are we talking?
16:56Fine.
16:57Gather the comms together, and I'll meet you in an hour.
17:00The teacher's going on strike.
17:04Let's hope not.
17:05I'm sure we'll do whatever we can to avoid a school shutdown.
17:08The problem is, wherever we find the money, it just means someone else is going to be pissed
17:11off at us.
17:13Everyone's taking cuts right now.
17:15The fix is to spread the pain, maybe take a little more from items further down the priority
17:21list.
17:22You don't fix the fence before you fix the roof.
17:25That's my grandfather used to say.
17:28Have you ever thought of running for office?
17:30No.
17:31That folksy charm of yours?
17:32A lot of Pauls would kill for that, you know?
17:37It's one of my firehouses.
17:40Captain O'Neil?
17:42I'm serious?
17:45All right, I'll be right over.
17:47Yeah, it's one of my guys.
17:49Got hurt.
17:50Nothing serious, but gotta go to the scenes protocol.
17:53Totally understand.
17:54Feel free to stay, or, uh...
17:55No, I'll take mine to go.
17:57But one of these days, we will have an actual meal together, Chief.
18:03I'll call you.
18:09Nice place?
18:11Yeah.
18:11What's going on?
18:21I'm Captain Van Meter.
18:22I'm at the Office of Fire Investigations.
18:24This is Lieutenant Severide.
18:26Are you Wyatt Moore's father?
18:27Yeah.
18:28What's this about?
18:29There was a fire at Patterson High School this morning.
18:32We were hoping to talk to your son about it.
18:36Mr. Cole sent you here, huh?
18:38Don't pass gold just straight to the Moore's house?
18:41Actually, the lieutenant here...
18:42This is ridiculous.
18:43Why he got busted smoking weed one time?
18:46Mr. Cole wants to make him out to be an arsonist now?
18:48No one's accusing Wyatt of arson, sir.
18:50We're just here to get information.
18:51Your son is outside the school at the time of the fire.
18:53I saw him there myself.
18:57Go to your room, son.
19:01Now.
19:03I'm not an idiot.
19:13I know how this goes.
19:15You lock in on one person, you know?
19:19I don't care what Mr. Cole said.
19:21My son, he would never do anything like that.
19:24If you got a shred of evidence against him,
19:27come back with a warrant.
19:29Otherwise, leave us alone.
19:32Our family's been through enough this year.
19:40That kid seemed pretty freaked out.
19:43Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to convince Dad
19:45to let us talk to him until we have something solid.
19:47So let's go back and see if we can find something
19:49that puts the kid inside the building this morning.
19:53Not to bang my own drum,
19:56but I think there's a logic here
19:57that would best be described as elegant.
20:00Tools are organized by frequency of use
20:03based on a five-point system.
20:05Hey, how's the custodian doing?
20:07Oh, his O2 level's stabilized.
20:08By the time we got to med, he's going to be okay.
20:10Hey, you guys, uh,
20:11forget your lieutenant somewhere?
20:12No, we found evidence that the fire was an arson,
20:15so he decided to chase it down with Captain Van Meter.
20:18Severod's fire investigation.
20:19Uh, more of a freelancer,
20:21whenever Van Meter needs help with a thorny case.
20:23His father, Benny, was a legendary fire investigator,
20:27so I guess you could say it's in the blood.
20:31She's...
20:31Hey, over here.
20:39My roommate was taking a shower.
20:41I heard the water shut off,
20:42and then she screamed,
20:43and the whole apartment shook like an earthquake.
20:45It's blocked from the inside.
20:47She must have fallen behind the door.
20:48Okay, what's her name?
20:49Halina.
20:49All right.
20:51Halina, I'm a paramedic with the Chicago Fire Department.
20:54Can you hear me in there?
20:57Hey.
20:58Ambo 61 to Maine.
21:08We need a truck company to assist in our location.
21:10We got a victim with a possible head wound
21:12trapped behind a bathroom door.
21:13Copy that, Ambo 61.
21:15Dispatching truck 93.
21:17EPA, 14 minutes.
21:18How much blood?
21:19I don't think we have 14 minutes.
21:20How's that door frame looking?
21:21Oh, it's pretty solid.
21:23Yeah, maybe if I had my tools, we could...
21:24Actually, ma'am, do you ever have any tools?
21:26Like a hammer or a screwdriver?
21:28Yes, Halina keeps a toolbox in the kitchen.
21:30I can check.
21:31Great, bring them all, please.
21:32Hurry.
21:34Halina, can you hear us in there?
21:40Perfect.
21:44Perfect.
21:50So much.
21:54Come on.
22:16Okay.
22:17Okay.
22:18Give me a hand.
22:19Yep.
22:21Okay.
22:21On three.
22:22Ready?
22:22One.
22:23Two.
22:24Three.
22:31Let's ask us to put this on the blood.
22:33Yep.
22:39Let's get her on the backboard.
22:40Yeah.
22:45Spread her head.
22:49Here we go.
22:50Okay.
22:50Okay.
22:53I've got a two-inch occipital laceration with an arterial bleed.
22:59Four by four, boss.
23:00Okay.
23:00Grab my C collar and some curlics and start prepping an IV.
23:02Copy.
23:03Is she okay?
23:04She lost a lot of blood, but we're going to get her to Chicago Med.
23:07Okay, I'm going to finish up this bandage.
23:19You start the IV.
23:20Copy that.
23:31You got this?
23:31Yep.
23:32You got this.
23:33I'm going to do it.
23:33I'm going to do it.
23:37It's great.
23:38Good.
23:40You're in.
23:40All right, I'll put fluids on route.
23:55Okay.
23:56Okay.
23:56Okay.
23:56I'm going to do it.
23:56All right, I'll put fluids on route.
23:57All right, on three, one, two, three.
24:08With a little luck, we'll dig up something
24:10to help us pull a warrant.
24:12Would have been a whole lot easier
24:13if he had just let us talk to the kid.
24:15Yeah, I get it, though.
24:16That's got to be a hell of a tight spot
24:18for a father to be in.
24:19That's parenting.
24:21There's no ends to the rocks in the hard places.
24:24How's it been having a teenager in your house anyway?
24:28Me and Stella got lucky there.
24:29Isaiah's a great kid, sharp, stays out of trouble.
24:33Pretty much the opposite of me when I was his age.
24:37What do you got there, boys?
24:39Coffee maker was plugged into this.
24:40We thought it was an ordinary outlet splitter,
24:42but when we pried it from the wall, it cracked open.
24:44So it's got a microchip inside.
24:47It's a smart plug.
24:48Yep.
24:49So you're saying the arsonist started the fire remotely?
24:57So, see you in another six months, I guess.
25:10Wait.
25:12If there's something that you want to say,
25:14just say it.
25:16Oh.
25:18I'm good?
25:19Come on.
25:20It's not like you're blowing up my phone, either.
25:23But hey, the second that I got a call
25:24that you were in the hospital, I was out the door.
25:27You know, it's easy to show up in a crisis
25:29because you get to feel like a good person.
25:32Well, it's true.
25:37We don't ever just hang out.
25:40We don't even talk, really.
25:42We used to call each other on our birthdays or whatever,
25:44and now it's just a text or a comment on Insta stories.
25:49HBD.
25:50I have never written HBD in my life.
25:53When's the last time you talked to Will, by the way?
25:55When is the last time that you talked to him?
25:57He is your brother, too.
26:03Look.
26:05You can lash out at me all you want,
26:07but that is not...
26:08I'm not lashing out, Lizzie.
26:09I'm saying I'm over it.
26:11I'm sick of pretending like we have
26:12some normal sibling relationship.
26:16What is normal?
26:18That's...
26:19That's...
26:19That's not even a thing.
26:21You know what I'm talking about.
26:23We haven't acted like siblings in a very long time.
26:25Do you think it's possible to pull any data off that?
26:41I seriously doubt it.
26:43We got enough of this serial number
26:45to maybe track where it was purchased,
26:46but look at this.
26:48The pins on this chip are trashed.
26:49So that means there's no way to ID
26:50whatever device was controlling it?
26:52Unfortunately.
26:53Understood.
26:54Yeah.
26:54Thanks for the information.
26:55That's a big help.
26:56That was the school's IT administrator.
26:59He checked the connected client's log
27:00on the school's Wi-Fi router
27:01and found that a Helix Home smart plug
27:04that's the same model as this one
27:05logged onto the Wi-Fi for the first time
27:07at 7.36 p.m. last night.
27:09Well, didn't Mr. Cole say that, uh,
27:11he saw Wyatt at the Lane Tech game last night?
27:13Yeah, at halftime.
27:14But based on the tip-off time,
27:15there's no way that Wyatt could have been here
27:16connecting that smart plug
27:17to the school's Wi-Fi at 7.36 p.m.
27:19That kid wanted to tell me something
27:22when we were at his house.
27:24It was written all over his face.
27:26He knows something.
27:31Hey, Chief.
27:32You got a sec?
27:33What is it, Mouch?
27:34I was just wondering
27:35if you had a chance to mull over
27:37my universal compartment protocol.
27:39The plan is solid.
27:40It's a good idea.
27:41It's just these days,
27:43if you want to get something like that
27:44on the white shirt's radar,
27:46it has to translate into dollars and cents.
27:48You don't think they'll go for it?
27:51I just think it's gonna be a little low
27:53on their priority list for now.
27:56Well, I'll copy that.
27:57I appreciate you looking at it, Chief.
27:59Now, I don't mean that you should give up on it.
28:03Timing just has to be right.
28:05Yeah.
28:07Mouch,
28:08I appreciate you leading Engine 51
28:11with such gusto.
28:15Thank you, Chief.
28:16I'll keep working on the plan.
28:33Hey.
28:34Thanks again for doing this.
28:36I know you've heard the sales pitch a hundred times,
28:38but it's really gonna make a huge difference
28:41for all the paramedics.
28:42I mean, Novak worked one-on-one off
28:44for an entire week before this shift, so...
28:47I'm glad to give her some rest.
28:48And, uh, yeah,
28:49it's good to keep her EMT skills sharp.
28:51Yeah.
28:51And, hey, it's good to keep
28:53our forced entry skills sharp, too.
28:57Well, look, since you're gonna be working
28:58with firefighters more often,
28:59how do you feel about keeping
29:01a Halligan bar in the elbow?
29:02I think that would be a great idea.
29:05Okay, fantastic.
29:06See, we can...
29:06I'm sure he's not trying to be rude.
29:16Just wasn't expecting to see me so soon.
29:19Ray Vasquez, I'm Sal's father.
29:21Violet McCommie.
29:25You two work together.
29:26What the hell are you doing here?
29:29Came for my will, son.
29:31You forgot?
29:32Sal was nice enough to look after my car
29:35while I was away,
29:36but, uh, I'm back now.
29:40Go.
29:41Wow.
29:42You try to teach your kids good manners,
29:44but, uh...
29:46In the end, they are who they are.
29:50Pleasure to meet you, by the way.
29:51You know,
30:18when people don't call you back,
30:19it's usually a sign they don't want to talk.
30:21We know why it didn't start the fire.
30:25How?
30:26Because the fire was set up
30:27at the exact same time
30:28that Mr. Cole saw Wyatt at Lane Tech,
30:29three miles away.
30:31I'm glad to hear you say that.
30:33But then,
30:34what are you doing here, Lieutenant?
30:36Maybe that's a question
30:37you should ask your son,
30:38because I think he knows.
30:41He's right.
30:42Don't say another word.
30:44This guy doesn't care
30:44what kind of trouble you get into
30:45is what he wants.
30:46Mr. Jerry's in the hospital
30:47because of what happened.
30:48Maybe we can help
30:51catch the person who did it.
31:00Whoever did it,
31:01I bet you'll find him there.
31:07Oh, yeah, I, um,
31:09I used to live around the corner.
31:10Have you been to that
31:11huge farmer's market on Webster?
31:14Uh, yeah, maybe.
31:16I'm not sure.
31:16Well, hey, you should go.
31:18There's a great barbecue stand
31:20if you like barbecue.
31:22This is it, dear.
31:25Okay.
31:26You should have a ride.
31:28I feel bad.
31:29I could use the soup lid.
31:30I don't feel bad.
31:31I was on my way.
31:33Yeah.
31:36Look, I'm sorry
31:36that you had to deal with all that.
31:39Yeah, my dad and I,
31:40we've, we've got some issues.
31:43Hey, no need to apologize.
31:46Seriously.
31:46Don't even think about it.
31:50Okay, well, uh,
31:51I'll see you around.
31:53Okay.
31:59Hey, wait, Vasquez.
32:02You should come to Molly's tonight.
32:03Everyone is gonna be there.
32:04We've got to wash the day off somehow, right?
32:09Maybe I'll see you there.
32:34Don't be there.
32:58Oh, I mean, we're so looking forward to your day off.
33:07Is Heidi okay?
33:08Um, physically, she's fine.
33:10Yeah, she just had a bad reaction to mixing sleeping medication with grapefruit juice.
33:14Yeah, that's a thing.
33:16Who knew?
33:17Okay.
33:18And mentally?
33:20Who the hell knows?
33:22Heidi and I...
33:23We kind of have this way of talking around the big things.
33:30It's like, deep down, we both want to be more connected, but we can't just...
33:35What?
33:37Okay, you know that game, Taboo?
33:40It's like we're both playing it whenever we see each other.
33:42It's like there's this whole long list of words we're never allowed to say.
33:45Ever.
33:46It's funny, I used to play Taboo with my parents when I was a kid.
33:49Only we had special rules, because it was just the three of us.
33:52Yeah, that's not as fun.
33:54Yeah, I was always jealous of people who had these big families.
33:57My best friend growing up had four brothers, so I wanted four brothers.
34:01Two older and two younger.
34:03Yeah.
34:04Yeah.
34:05I guess it never occurred to me how much messier my family would have been if I had had siblings.
34:11Yeah, but that's the thing.
34:12It was...
34:13It was messier, but it was a good kind of messy.
34:18Things didn't get, um, complicated until after my mom.
34:31Everything changed after.
34:35Meaning, basically, everything just fell apart.
34:38But still, someone had to make the lunches and sign the homework.
34:45And you would think that that would make siblings closer, but...
34:48I don't know.
34:53It's not like you had a choice, right?
34:54You were forced into it.
34:55I'm sure your siblings get that.
34:58But that's the thing.
34:59No one really asked me to do any of those things.
35:04I just kind of did it.
35:09Never really occurred to me to ask what anyone else wanted.
35:21I'm sorry.
35:22I have to go.
35:23I totally get it.
35:24Yeah.
35:25Go.
35:25Go.
35:25Go.
35:25Hey, just the woman I needed to see.
35:42Let me ask you something.
35:43When you were putting together your proposal for the joint duty program...
35:47Uh-huh.
35:48If you're heading out, we can just talk about this next shift.
35:50Yeah.
35:52Hey.
35:53All right.
35:55Uh, no.
35:56No, it's fine.
35:57I can stay for another drink.
35:58Great.
35:59Last guess.
36:01Hey.
36:03Shh.
36:03So here's my question.
36:08Did he let you talk to Wyatt?
36:10We were right.
36:11Swipe that way.
36:13What am I looking at?
36:14Screenshots from a private Facebook group called I Hate Mr. Cold.
36:18Subtle.
36:19Yeah.
36:19There's hundreds of comments going back at least two years.
36:22People accusing Mr. Cold, bullying students, public humiliation, trumping up charges to expel kids for low grades, just to inflate test scores.
36:31Did you read all these?
36:32Mm-hmm.
36:32They summoned an angry mob sharpening their pitchforks.
36:35According to Wyatt, there's 83 active members.
36:40So we have 83 possible suspects.
36:42Sorry to bother you at this hour.
37:07You mind telling me what's so urgent that I couldn't wait till morning?
37:10The fire at Patterson.
37:11It's likely the perpetrator wasn't just trying to send you a message.
37:14We believe the attack was deliberately timed for when you'd normally be arriving at the school and you'd be alone.
37:20Can we talk inside?
37:22Yeah.
37:23Yeah, please.
37:24Come in.
37:24What's up?
37:36Sorry for the random pop-in, but I heard that's what normal siblings do.
37:42What's that?
37:46I thought we could hang out if you're not doing anything.
37:51One with peach knops and I'd start sweating bullets.
37:54I think I'm about to get grounded for a month.
37:56We weren't grounded for a month.
37:57It was like a week, max.
37:59Drama queen.
38:01Whatever.
38:06Well, I hope you like the show Botched.
38:08I love Botched.
38:12I mean, I'm talking like 30 people are just standing there, frozen.
38:16Some of them still holding their drinks while we're doing CPR on a little baby girl.
38:20They can't even look at each other.
38:22They're so ashamed.
38:22I mean, how did no one notice her crawl into the pool?
38:26Not a single person.
38:30Damn.
38:32Already?
38:33Yeah, I forget.
38:34On Sunday, they close early.
38:37Well, Vasquez, I'm glad you decided to come out tonight.
38:40Wait, uh, I mean, come on.
38:41You're not going home after the shift we had.
38:43Look, I've got a lot of the data wash off sale.
38:54I mean, that raw chicken alone.
38:56Oh, my God.
38:59Let's go to Nick's.
39:01Or the Redhead Piano Bar.
39:02Or wherever you want.
39:04Just one more for the road.
39:10Sure.
39:11Yeah.
39:12Let's go.
39:24Never would have guessed you're a chef.
39:26Well, don't jump to any conclusions.
39:28You haven't tried it yet.
39:31Oh, don't tell me you don't like red meat.
39:33I should have asked.
39:35No, it's not that.
39:37You've gone to so much trouble.
39:40What I have to tell you, I can't pretend I don't know.
39:44You'd find out and wonder why I didn't say anything.
39:46I don't want it to ruin the night.
39:51What's this about?
39:52What you said yesterday about fences and roofs and making tough choices.
39:57We had to avert a teacher strike.
40:00We had no choice.
40:02So I had my budget team look for money to reallocate quickly without starting a new and bigger backlash.
40:09We pulled from infrastructure, public works, admin services.
40:13There's no easy way to say this.
40:18We asked the CFD for a list of rigs that could be permanently decommissioned.
40:24One of those rigs is in your battalion.
40:27Which one?
40:29Engine Company 51.
40:31I believe the lieutenant's name is...
40:32Randall McColland.
40:43...
40:52...
40:56...
41:04...
41:04...
41:05...
41:07I
41:37You
