00:01Your mom wasn't getting the best care possible.
00:04Stella found a better place.
00:06It is in Cleveland.
00:07You mean, drop everything here?
00:09You're a family now.
00:12I don't want it to ruin the night.
00:14We asked the CFD for a list of rigs that could be permanently decommissioned.
00:19Which one?
00:20Engine 51.
00:23There was a fire at Patterson High School.
00:26I mean, I can't give you any names, but I have been getting these threats.
00:31Wyatt was outside the school at the time of the fire.
00:33He knew something.
00:34I ran into Wyatt last night at the boys' basketball game.
00:38Based on the tip-off time, there's no way that Wyatt could have been to the school.
00:41Your son can start the fire.
00:43And what are you doing here, Lieutenant?
00:45Whoever did it, I bet you'll find him there.
00:49We believe the attack was deliberately timed for when you'd normally be arriving at the school and you'd be alone.
00:56My students made this?
01:02They did.
01:03And how many are in the group?
01:05Eighty-three members.
01:09Of course, I knew of my reputation, but this level of hostility.
01:14We're hoping you can take a look through the post and see if there's any that sound like the threatening text that you've gotten.
01:19There are hundreds of comments here.
01:20Take as much time as you need.
01:21This is unacceptable.
01:32I'm sorry to drop the news on you like this, but I didn't want to hide it.
01:35This just isn't how you treat a firefighter who's been loyal to the department for more than 30 years.
01:39The city didn't make that call.
01:41CFD did.
01:42They're the ones who chose McColland and his rig.
01:45Well, I gotta make some calls.
01:46Wait.
01:47Dom, I told you this because I didn't want you to be blindsided.
01:54It's already in motion.
01:56If I thought a phone call would have stopped it, I would have already made it.
02:07I worshipped my dad growing up.
02:09Yeah, I had a...
02:11I brought his badge for show and tell.
02:13I had a cop radio in my room.
02:15Yeah, from the jump.
02:17I always wanted to be a cop.
02:19How long were you at the academy for?
02:21It was a month before I graduated when you got arrested.
02:24There was no keeping that a secret?
02:26Yeah.
02:27I mean, the media loved that case.
02:29Mm-hmm.
02:30Suddenly, just overnight, I'm the...
02:32I'm the son of a dirty cop.
02:35One who gave the whole department a bad name.
02:38Damn.
02:40I'm sorry, Vasquez.
02:42Got me to the CFD, right?
02:44Mm-hmm.
02:45The right place to be.
02:46Mm-hmm.
02:48It does not look as gross as I thought it would.
03:04You're gonna love it, I'm telling you.
03:06Mm.
03:07So, are you ready for your meeting with Dr. Straves tomorrow?
03:11Mm-hmm.
03:13I've been researching everything.
03:15Wrote a bunch of questions down in my notebook.
03:17You're gonna be an M.D. by the time your mom leaves the clinic.
03:20You know that, right?
03:22Well, Kelly said that he wanted an update.
03:26I'm gonna give him a call.
03:36I don't think this is going to help.
03:38There's nothing in there that stands out to you?
03:40Something that's pretty disturbing.
03:42It's very difficult to tell what's noise and what's a real threat.
03:50There's a smoke alarm.
03:53I think it's coming from the stairs.
03:55It's moving.
03:56Look back stairs or this way.
03:57Up.
03:58God.
03:59It's no good.
04:00We're trapped.
04:01This way.
04:02What do we do?
04:03How are we going to get out?
04:04We rappel down.
04:05Grab a towel, soak it in water, cover your face.
04:06Go.
04:07Use the bed sheets.
04:08Make the harness.
04:09I'll make the rope.
04:10I'll make the rope.
04:11Wow.
04:12Wow.
04:13Wow.
04:14Wow.
04:16Put the light on that side.
04:17How are we going to get out?
04:18We're trapped.
04:19We're trapped.
04:20This way.
04:21This way.
04:22What do we do?
04:23How are we going to get out?
04:24We rappel down.
04:25Grab a towel, soak it in water, cover your face.
04:26Go.
04:28Use the bed sheets.
04:29Make the harness.
04:30I'll make the rope.
04:32Okay, here.
05:00It's gonna be for us.
05:02Put this around you.
05:03Here.
05:16We're gonna lower you down.
05:17We go one at a time.
05:18Throw your legs over to the sill, face us.
05:20We're not gonna let you fall.
05:21Let's go!
05:25Don't think, just go!
05:32We got you!
05:33Let go of the sill!
05:34We got you!
05:35Go!
05:36We got you!
05:37Go!
05:38In here!
05:39We got you!
05:40In here!
05:41We got you!
05:42Get to the window!
05:43Get to the window!
05:44Get to the window!
05:45Get to the window!
05:46Get to the window!
05:47I got you!
05:48I got you!
05:49I got you!
05:50I got you!
05:51I got you!
05:52I got you!
05:53I got you!
05:54Grab the sheet!
05:55I got you!
05:56I got you!
05:57I got you!
05:58I got you!
06:02I got you!
06:09Grab the sheet!
06:13I got you!
06:18Grab the sheet!
06:48Sir, do you have a car?
07:06Yeah.
07:07Could you get into the hospital?
07:09Sure.
07:11Come on.
07:18I have a neighbor take toll to the hospital.
07:22Hey, Lear.
07:24You're burned.
07:26That's not bad.
07:27Yeah, it is.
07:29Yeah!
07:31I can sneak up!
07:33Tom!
07:34Tom, hey!
07:36Medic!
07:38Medic!
07:40Tom?
07:41Tom!
07:42Medic!
07:43Over here!
07:45Happy...
07:46Hey!
07:47Backward.
07:54Here.
07:59Get him on.
08:00Get him on.
08:01Here.
08:02Get him on.
08:03Get him on.
08:04Here.
08:05Get him on.
08:06Here.
08:07Get him on.
08:09Here.
08:10There.
08:11There.
08:12You got him?
08:15Yeah.
08:16One, two, three.
08:22He's going to need to be treated for smoke inhalation,
08:24including births.
08:26You need treatment, too.
08:27I'm fine.
08:28Just focus on him.
08:29OK.
08:35Let's go.
08:37Hey, it's me.
08:38Listen, it's been an incident.
08:40Yeah.
08:41OK.
08:50Hey.
08:54Kelly was in a fire.
08:55He is OK.
08:57He's at the hospital.
08:59What happened?
09:00I'm not sure yet, but Captain Van Meter was hurt, too.
09:04They're both at med.
09:05OK, I'll pack my batch.
09:09OK.
09:10I'll pack my batch.
09:11OK.
09:11I'll pack my batch.
09:19OK.
09:20Lungs sound tight to me.
09:22Taking in more smoke than this before.
09:24Maybe, but that doesn't mean this isn't serious.
09:27I want to get a chest x-ray.
09:28If you've got signs of pulmonary edema or airway burns,
09:30we need to catch it now.
09:31That kind of damage doesn't always show up right away.
09:33It's going to have to wait.
09:34Lieutenant, I've seen guys walk out of this room
09:36and come back coding an hour later.
09:38I'll be right down the hall.
09:40Lieutenant, I'll be right down the hall.
09:59Lieutenant Severod?
10:01Dr. Archer.
10:04Glad you're the one looking after Van Meter.
10:07What do we know?
10:08Well, he's suffering from acute respiratory distress.
10:11The smoke and the heat have caused significant lung damage.
10:14It's been sedated.
10:14He's on a ventilator.
10:15Try to improve his oxygen saturation.
10:20The next few hours are going to be critical.
10:22If his oxygen levels don't stabilize soon,
10:24he may not make it through the night.
10:27What's the update?
10:38Severod's okay.
10:39Suffered second-degree burns to his arm and minor smoke inhalation.
10:43And Van Meter?
10:44He took the brunt of it.
10:48Hey, thanks for calling.
10:50Have the doctors come out with an update yet?
10:52No.
10:52Any minute.
10:54Hey, Captain's got to pull through.
10:56That guy's tough as old boots.
10:58Kelly.
11:15Oh, my God.
11:16Oh, my God.
11:17Did you hurt?
11:38That's fine.
11:40How's Van Meter?
11:42He made it through the first few hours,
11:48so that's something.
11:49But he's touch and go.
11:51His daughter's driving up from St. Louis now.
11:58P.D. already sent someone?
12:06All right.
12:07We'll give you a second to talk to him.
12:11All right.
12:12Let's go find a vending machine.
12:14Yeah?
12:22Lieutenant?
12:23Detective Gerard, it's been a minute.
12:25Don't worry.
12:26P.D.'s not here to take over.
12:27We'll just hit out.
12:29I know how personal this just got for you.
12:32How much have you read in on this?
12:34Well, notified the school was premeditated
12:37and that there was some kind of sophisticated timing device involved.
12:40Sounds like tonight's fire is different.
12:42Same target, though.
12:43P.D.'s principal call.
12:44My guess is whoever set the fire at the school
12:46wanted to finish what they started.
12:48I was told there was some kind of online hate group about him.
12:50Yeah, it's a private Facebook group.
12:53About 80 members.
12:55Current former students.
12:56Van Meter thinks we'll find our suspect there.
12:58Any way to narrow down that list?
13:00That's what I was hoping to talk to Cole about.
13:02He's still with the doctors.
13:03Got a couple more hours.
13:04All right.
13:05Well, I'll see what I can do
13:07to dig into that Facebook group in the meantime.
13:09Do you know who created it?
13:10No, that information isn't visible on the page.
13:12That's what I wanted to ask Cole about first.
13:14All right.
13:16I'm on it.
13:17Let me know when he's up.
13:19If Vasquez hadn't been with you at Molly's,
13:35I doubt he would have heard about Severide.
13:37I'm glad he was there.
13:38Yeah, we showed up right after you left.
13:40I think his father coming to 51
13:43really messed with his head.
13:45Hey, what is Ray Vasquez like?
13:47I heard his name so many times back in the day.
13:49Yeah, the man is intimidating.
13:51That's for sure.
13:53Yeah, the whole scene was very tense.
13:55I mean, Vasquez has no idea how he got paroled.
13:58It's all kind of mysterious.
14:00Wow.
14:01But the actual joint duty shift went well, though, right?
14:04Mm-hmm.
14:05These are all applications from firefighters
14:07at other houses who want to sign up.
14:09Seriously?
14:10Mm-hmm.
14:11That's awesome.
14:12It's a lot to narrow down, though.
14:13Do they attach personnel photos?
14:14Because QT is at the top, obviously.
14:16Obviously.
14:18Good morning, Chief.
14:23Come on in, Malch.
14:25Take a seat.
14:32Everything okay?
14:34Unfortunately, no.
14:36We need to keep this between us for now.
14:39But I've learned that as part of its ongoing cuts, CFD
14:42wants to decommission Engine 51.
14:46Is this...
14:48Are you kidding me?
14:50Leave the firehouse without an engine?
14:52It's an incredibly irresponsible decision.
14:55I'm gonna do everything I can to fight it.
14:57I'll do the same, of course.
14:59I'll go right to the union, use that angle.
15:02I mean, I gotta assume if engine goes.
15:04So do you.
15:06With all these staff cuts and calls for early retirement,
15:10I wish I could say it different,
15:12but I don't think they're gonna find a place for you
15:15in another house.
15:21I have a contact at CFD.
15:23He owes me a favor.
15:24I'm gonna go there today,
15:25but we're not gonna throw in that towel yet.
15:30Not a chance.
15:37Thank you, Chief.
15:49Hey, I brought you a coffee.
15:51Figured you could use it.
15:52Thanks.
15:54Also got a name.
15:55Created of that Facebook group.
16:02Those co-students?
16:07Yeah.
16:16What?
16:19What's going on?
16:24Uh, the assistant principal put together a group
16:26for Mr. Cole to show support.
16:31And I wanted to be a part of it.
16:35I'm sure you appreciate that.
16:37Uh, do you guys know who did this yet?
16:41Uh, we can't comment on that right now.
16:43Lily Metzger?
16:46Are you sure?
16:48She was the first user assigned administrative rights
16:50to the I Hate Mr. Cole group.
16:52Which means she created it.
16:54Oh.
16:55You seem surprised by that.
16:56Yeah, well, I'd like to think that I know my students well,
17:00and Lily's had some, some disciplinary issues,
17:04but nothing that would lead me to believe that she could do this.
17:08Did she ever have any run-ins with you?
17:09No, not directly.
17:10Some of her teachers said that she could be difficult,
17:12but it was talking back or, or tardiness.
17:15You know, things like that.
17:17A disrespectful authority.
17:18Well, the parents give a lot of money to the school,
17:21so they've cleaned up a few of her messes.
17:23We stopped by Wyatt's house after the school fire.
17:25Lily was there.
17:26I wasn't aware they were friends.
17:28What?
17:29What?
17:30What?
17:31What?
17:32What?
17:33What?
17:34What?
17:35What?
17:36What?
17:37What?
17:38What?
17:39What?
17:40What?
17:41What?
17:42What?
17:43What?
17:44What?
17:45What?
17:46What?
17:47Well, maybe you don't know your students as well as you think.
17:52We'll be in touch.
17:54Thank you, sir.
17:58Help me understand something.
18:00What's the emotion?
18:01Maybe it believes this arson is personal,
18:03and it's about revenge.
18:04Well, if that's true, then how does this girl make any sense?
18:07I mean, you heard Cole.
18:08They've never had any runners.
18:09Well, you know she created a group.
18:10Maybe she's got some sort of axe to grind.
18:12Lieutenant, can I speak to you?
18:17We had to place Ken Van Meter in a medically induced coma.
18:23I don't understand.
18:25I thought his oxygen levels would stabilize.
18:27The inflammation in his lungs wasn't improving.
18:32And he went into hypoxic respiratory failure.
18:35And this can happen in severe cases of smoke inhalation like his.
18:40I've seen this before.
18:46You put them in a coma and they don't come out.
18:51It's the best option we have of giving his body any chance to recover.
18:56I'll give you a minute.
19:00I'm going to find you to do this.
19:19And I'm going to leave them back.
19:20No firefighter employed under the jurisdiction of this union shall be terminated, suspended,
19:33or demoted except for just cause.
19:36There is nothing you can point to in my file that even comes close to just cause.
19:43How is this not a slam dunk for me?
19:45Ouch.
19:46The city is now counting budget cuts as just cause.
19:49Well, it doesn't say that in here.
19:51Our legal team is fighting it.
19:52But the city's found a way to reinterpret the language to make this legal.
19:59I know.
20:00It's a loophole you could drive a damn Mack truck through.
20:02Well, I'm not just going to take my ball and go home.
20:06I hear you.
20:07I do.
20:07But right now, the union's hands are tied.
20:10It's got to be another way here.
20:13There is something.
20:15But it's not through the union.
20:20What do you know about the Civil Service Commission?
20:29Why did you create the Facebook page?
20:31Facebook is so retro.
20:33I mean, I thought it would be fun.
20:34Also, Mr. Cole is hated by pretty much everyone.
20:37So.
20:39Including you?
20:40Honestly, I barely knew the guy.
20:43But it was so entertaining to see everyone get so worked up about it.
20:46Lily.
20:49I'm sorry.
20:51And I am sorry that Mr. Cole's house got set on fire by some psycho.
20:56That's crazy.
20:57All the threats of violence, you didn't think to tell an adult about those?
21:00People need to vent.
21:01I'm not going to stop them.
21:04It's the First Amendment, right?
21:06Some of the threats on the site, they were by anonymous posters.
21:10Yeah.
21:11One or two of the kids went incognito.
21:13I don't know why.
21:14Where were you at 7.36 PM on Friday night, Lily?
21:18Lily, don't answer any more questions.
21:21I don't want to be rude, but I need to get a lawyer.
21:24No, I was at home.
21:25I was in my room, reading, watching videos.
21:34Mom was there.
21:35She can tell you.
21:38Yes.
21:39Lily was home Friday.
21:40I do remember that.
21:41You sure, Miss Muska?
21:43Of course.
21:49Look, if you guys want to take my computer and search for these anonymous posters here,
21:55Lily, can we at least talk to your father first?
21:58Just trying to help.
22:00If she shuts down that Facebook page right now, can we just put all of this behind us?
22:05No.
22:05The last thing we want, just keep it active.
22:14Thanks for your help, Lily.
22:15No problem.
22:20Mama's got a handful with that one.
22:23You gonna keep honoring that Facebook post?
22:25Yeah, yeah.
22:26Students keep posting about it, so who knows?
22:28Things those kids ran on those pages, that level of uglies.
22:31Makes you wonder if you ever think they would actually say it in person.
22:34Doubt it.
22:35Face to face, you see the hurt your cause, not on the line.
22:39Got a couple of high schoolers at home.
22:41Can't stay away from that social media, man.
22:43It scares the heck out of me.
22:44I don't blame you.
22:47Keep an eye on Lily.
22:48I'll keep you posted, you do the same.
22:54I'll remind you.
22:55I did what you said.
22:56Took in Vasquez, no questions asked.
22:58Yeah, well, that was the deal.
23:00His lieutenant wanted to cut him loose, and she had every right,
23:04I protected Vasquez as a favor to you.
23:08Now I'm asking for a favor in return.
23:12Well, it wasn't a favor for me.
23:14That order came from way above our pay grade.
23:18And, as I understand it, Vasquez has become a real asset to 51.
23:24Whatever's happening between Vasquez and the CFD brass is not my business.
23:29But I can make it my business if they don't reconsider the decision to cut engine 51.
23:34Well, you've got a pair.
23:35I'll give you that.
23:39But you got your facts wrong.
23:41The CFD didn't pick the rigs to be decommissioned.
23:44That was a request from the mayor's office.
23:47What about this guy?
23:55Yeah.
23:56Big no.
23:57That's one cell.
23:58And he's a lantern.
23:59A lantern?
24:00Yeah.
24:01Yeah.
24:02Not too bright.
24:03Needs to be carried.
24:04You know this guy?
24:05La Rosa?
24:06Yeah.
24:07He's over at 40.
24:08They call him Blister.
24:09Only shows up after all the hard work is done.
24:12Hand of God.
24:13I've learned more at this table than my entire time at the Academy.
24:15Well, stick around.
24:22You've been at that for a while now.
24:24Any luck narrowing down the list?
24:27Not as much as I'd like.
24:30Keep hoping whoever did it might post it, but...
24:34I don't know.
24:35Well, Cruz just called, checking on you.
24:39He said he wanted to leave his anniversary weekend to come back.
24:43God.
24:44Tell him not to.
24:45I didn't.
24:46So, when's the last time you slept?
24:49I don't know.
24:53Well, listen.
24:54I didn't get a chance to tell you earlier, but Isaiah has a Zoom with the doctor who's
25:01in charge of Shauna's care, and it sounds like good news.
25:04When?
25:05I got it handled.
25:07I know you're buried in all this.
25:09I want to be there.
25:10Kelly.
25:11Is that a video just posted?
25:12That's Cole's place.
25:13Whoa.
25:14You knew.
25:15You knew they were going to want to post it.
25:17They were right there.
25:18Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
25:19And if you've got to skip the Zoom, I can fill you in on the details after.
25:23I-I still want to be there.
25:24Just send me the info.
25:25Hey.
25:26I gotta run.
25:27I gotta call Gerard.
25:28Let him know I got a beat on this kid who shot the video.
25:29Yeah, of course.
25:30Go.
25:31Go.
25:32Go.
25:33Go.
25:34Go.
25:35Go.
25:36Go.
25:37Go.
25:38Go.
25:39Go.
25:40Go.
25:41Go.
25:42Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
25:44And if you've got to skip the Zoom, I can fill you in on the details after.
25:48I-I still want to be there.
25:50Just send me the info.
25:51Okay.
25:52I gotta run.
25:53I gotta call Gerard.
25:54Let him know I got a beat on this kid who shot the video.
25:57Yeah, of course.
25:58Go.
25:59Hey, Novak, how are those firefighter interviews going?
26:14Oh, Viola is being so picky, we haven't even started the interviews yet.
26:17Well, I'm glad I skipped to the front of the line.
26:20Heard you did good.
26:21Oh, yeah?
26:22Yeah.
26:23But just so you know, if you ever get a shot to ride with me, I'm not going to go as easy
26:27on you as Viola did.
26:29Can't wait.
26:36Hey, sorry, I know I'm in here during Herman time.
26:40No, I was just going to nap.
26:42Don't mind me.
26:45Hey, why are you going over old performance reviews?
26:54I'm on the ropes.
26:55The CFD wants to decommission Engine 51 and let me go.
27:02No.
27:03No.
27:04No way.
27:05Pascal will not let that happen.
27:07He's trying some new angle to stop it, but with the city in crisis, all bets are off, which
27:13is why I'm reading these old performance reviews going back 30-plus years and trying to prepare
27:19an appeal to the Civil Service Commission next week.
27:21I will not go quiet, that's for sure.
27:27No, sir, you will not.
27:29And neither will I, all right?
27:31This appeal is going to sing like Pavarotti by the time we're done with it.
27:36All right.
27:39Fire department, open up!
27:40Now!
27:44Coming!
27:44Easy, Silver, right.
27:47What's going on?
27:48Looking for Malcolm Taylor.
27:49Is he your son?
27:50What's this about?
27:51Are you aware of what happened to his principal?
27:53What does that have to do with Malcolm?
27:54He posted a video online that puts him at the scene at the time of the fire.
27:58Ma'am, we have a warrant to search and seize any electronic devices belonging to your son.
28:02I heard a noise.
28:03Is he in here?
28:04Yes.
28:04Sure.
28:09Malcolm!
28:10Malcolm!
28:18Fire, skate!
28:19I'm getting it from the outside.
28:37Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:38Hey!
28:40Hey!
28:41Hey!
28:42Hey!
28:43Hey!
28:44Hey!
28:45Hey!
28:46Hey!
28:47Hey!
28:48Hey!
28:49Hey!
28:50Hey!
28:51Hey!

28:53Hey!
28:54Hey!
28:55Hey!
28:56Hey!

28:58Hey!
28:59Hey!
29:00Hey!
29:01Hey!
29:02Hey!
29:03Hey!
29:04Hey!
29:05Hey!
29:06Hey!
29:07Hey!
29:08Hey!
29:09Hey!
29:09Malcolm!
29:10Malcolm!
29:11Malcolm!
29:12Stop!
29:13You got nowhere to go!
29:14Stop!
29:15I didn't do it!
29:16Malcolm!
29:17I didn't start that fire!
29:18I know!
29:19You saw who did!
29:39Leave a message, I'll get back to you.
29:44Kelly gonna make it?
29:47He didn't answer, so I don't think so.
29:53But maybe he'll join late.
29:56Yeah.
29:58I'm sorry.
29:59He's gonna get the guy hurt, Captain Van Meter.
30:04He can't take breaks.
30:09Yeah.
30:11That's right.
30:14All right.
30:16Let's do this.
30:19Hello.
30:20Hello.
30:21Hi, Isaiah.
30:22I'm Dr. Sharif, the lead neurologist at the Clemens Wigner Clinic.
30:25So that's what interests you about the program, the extra money?
30:29Well, my shifts have been cut back, and I figure this is a good way to use the extra skills I have.
30:33Is there anything that you love about emergency medicine?
30:36Sure.
30:37Shocking someone out of VTAC, stabilizing a trauma patient and getting them to the emergency room in time.
30:42Mm-hmm.
30:43You do realize, though, that most of our calls aren't that exciting, though.
30:45But some of them are.
30:46So, good answer.
30:47Mm-hmm.
30:48Thanks for coming in.
30:49We appreciate it.
30:50We'll be in touch.
30:51Thanks, Ryan.
30:52Okay.
30:53Yeah, thanks.
30:54We'll talk to you soon.
30:55Sure.
30:56Yeah.
30:57Okay.
30:58He seemed good.
30:59No, he did not.
31:00All right.
31:01What was wrong with him?
31:03Well, he had zero passion for the work.
31:05That much was obvious.
31:06Really?
31:07I didn't get that.
31:08And no sense of humor.
31:10Is that because he didn't laugh at your firefighter joke?
31:12Yes.
31:13It was funny.
31:14Okay, next up is Jones Hammond.
31:18Jones as a first name?
31:19I don't know about that.
31:20Okay.
31:21Can I just say, you're being a little overly picky.
31:24We have seen a bunch of perfectly acceptable candidates and you haven't liked any of them.
31:28Well, perfectly acceptable won't cut it.
31:30I mean, we're gonna sit inches away from these firefighters in our tiny box of a rig for 24 hours straight.
31:36Well, you did it with Vasquez. No problem.
31:38Well, Vasquez is unique.
31:41Oh, here comes our guy with two last names.
31:45Okay, maybe don't tell the joke this time.
31:47It's a little dense.
31:49I'm telling the joke.
31:51Jones, come on in.
31:54The arsonist is right there.
31:56See what happens when you bring the phone down?
32:07Right there.
32:08See that?
32:09Yeah.
32:10Yeah, I see him.
32:11All right, so show us where you took the video.
32:14I was coming home from a pickup game in Ogden Park when I saw the smoke.
32:18So, I pulled out my phone and posted it up right here.
32:22Look, I didn't even know it was Principal Cole's place until the next day.
32:26I don't hate the guy or anything.
32:28I just...
32:30I posted it for Clout.
32:32All right, so if you took the video from right here, that'd mean the arsonist would be heading east down Hubbard towards Aberdeen.
32:42Yeah, I guess.
32:43Damn.
32:44What must I mean to you?
32:45You know the kid we saw at the hospital, Wyatt?
32:46Yeah, your first suspect.
32:47He lives on Aberdeen.
32:48Here it is.
32:49The Helix HomeSmart plug used to start the fire at the school was connected to the Wi-Fi at 7 36 PM.
32:53You can look at the client log yourself.
32:54The kid who we think did this couldn't have been to the school then.
32:55This client log's gotta be wrong.
32:56This client log's gotta be wrong.
32:57I called him after him.
32:58All right, so let's stay in the room.
32:59I thought I couldn't.
33:00That's what we wanted.
33:02That's what I wanted to do.
33:03Any questions?
33:04What are you doing here today?
33:05He lives on Aberdeen.
33:06Here it is.
33:17The Helix HomeSmart plug used to start the fire at the school was connected to the Wi-Fi at 7 36 PM.
33:22You can look at the client log yourself.
33:23The kid who we think did this couldn't have been to the school then.
33:24to be wrong. I called the school's IT administrator and confirmed. He looked at packet captures along
33:29with the router syslog from that night. They all corroborate at the same time. 736. I'm sorry but
33:35the data doesn't lie. Thank you for your help. Can you ignore the evidence just because it's
33:46inconvenient? What are the odds of a narcissist running right back towards Wyatt's? How do you
33:50ignore that? What is it? Bam Eater's notes. He's building a profile. Maybe we don't need
34:09to ignore it. Lily went to Wyatt's after the school fire. What if she went right back there
34:15after she set fire to Coles? So why is that on her mother? Maybe. Or he's just keeping
34:21her secret. We saw how he was at the hospital. Yeah. Only problem is that she has an alibi.
34:27Yeah. Her mother looked like she believed anything Lee told her.
34:33You checked her alibis? Yeah. To be in touch.
34:45Dom. I was just on my way to another meeting but I've got a few minutes. What's up?
34:59You said CFD chose which rigs to decommission. But that's not true. It was you.
35:06Who told you that? Someone who's got no incentive to lie to me.
35:10And you think I do? I could see you picking 51 thinking I wouldn't push back. I'd just
35:16roll over given our personal relationship. There are a number of rigs on the chopping block.
35:22Yeah. If I let this go it'd be one less headache for you. You're a natural leader Dom. I see
35:28how hard you fight for your team. What if you could fight for the whole CFD? I like being
35:35on the ground. I see a future for you beyond battalion chief. And I can help you get there.
35:45Consider what we could do for this city together.
35:49Sure we could do a lot. But not at the expense of my people.
35:54This isn't about winning every battle. This is about winning the war.
35:58Think about what I said.
36:11What are we looking at? These are taken from the North Bridge Mall.
36:15That's Lily and her friend at 7 36 p.m. on Friday.
36:20So Lily
36:21lied about being at home.
36:23She likes upsetting her mother but she's not the arselist.
36:26What the hell are we missing?
36:37It's usually when I ask him.
36:42What's that?
36:43It's a list of usernames and IPs taken from the Facebook group. Scraped those off of Lily's
36:47computer. Figured we'd start crossing suspects off one by one.
36:50You got any info on the anonymous posters?
36:52So the first one traces back to a kid. He, uh, doesn't live in Chicago anymore. And the
36:57other one traces back to the Wyatt Moore house. He probably logged on from another device.
37:05No, he didn't.
37:07Wait, where are you going?
37:08These arsons, they're personal. They're about revenge. We know how hard Cole went after Wyatt.
37:13When he's caused future in jeopardy.
37:14Yeah. Wyatt has an outside alibi.
37:17Yeah, he does.
37:19But his father doesn't.
37:26So the outlook on Isaiah's mom is good. She actually started responding to stimulus. It's
37:33signs she could be emerging.
37:34Well, that's fantastic.
37:35Yeah, Isaiah, he must be thrilled.
37:37Huge.
37:38Yeah, he is. He wants to stick around for Kelly a few days because he's worried about
37:43him.
37:44Do you believe that?
37:45He's a good kid.
37:46He really is.
37:47Yeah.
37:49And Kelly, um, he's just so consumed with the case. I, I'm barely getting updates.
37:57I, um, I've been meaning to ask you. I saw Ellis from the union in your office the other
38:06day. Are you running for a spot again?
38:09Nah. Uh, just, uh, just catching up.
38:15I do like her. I think she fits our needs, but it depends. You know, you don't really know
38:20until you're in the field.
38:21Of course, yeah. It's a whole different story.
38:22Yeah, we'll see.
38:23Hey. What took you so long? I was just telling Vasquez about the, um, the firefighters you
38:27coached for the program.
38:28I don't know about Lieutenant Taryn, though. Something tells me she might give you guys
38:32some attitude.
38:33Well, even if she does, Violet won't let that stand for long. True that.
38:37Okay.
38:38That'll be good.
38:41I dropped Wyatt off at the game, and I went straight to Sheila's house. You can ask her.
38:46Sheila. Sheila Moore, the ex-wife.
38:50Not yet. We're still working through the divorce. It's not going well. This isn't helping.
38:57Is she your only alibi?
39:00That's not enough?
39:01Not for me.
39:04Now, I've been more than cooperative. First with my son, now this. So what's his problem?
39:09You put my partner in the ICU. That's my problem.
39:12Mr. Moore, there was a second IP address that logged into the I Hate Mr. Cole Facebook group
39:17coming from your house.
39:18And you think that was me? My son already admitted to being in the group. He was probably
39:23just using our desktop.
39:24We also got you on camera running back to your house after setting fire to Cole's place.
39:28And why would I do that?
39:29Because Cole went after your kids, so you went after Cole. And after you failed at the school,
39:33you tried again, except that time you put my friend in the hospital.
39:36You know, maybe if you spend less time harassing my family, more time doing your job, your partner
39:50wouldn't beat you.
39:52Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, psycho off of me.
39:55Freaking wall.
39:56I know what you did.
39:57So what do they say? We got enough to take Moore's phone?
40:18The district commander, he wants to shift the focus back to the school fire.
40:22Why?
40:23Because everything we have on Moore is circumstantial, and they're not convinced that he's that guy.
40:28That's not their decision to make.
40:30It is now.
40:32They want to bench me?
40:34The captain's already spoke to the fire commissioner's office, okay?
40:36And they both agreed that it's best for the investigation that you take a step back.
40:41I think you know why.
40:42No.
40:42No, I'm not doing that. Not when we're so close.
40:44This is not a request to arrive, okay? You're off the case.
41:14No, I'm not doing that.
