FunTranscript
00:00We got a half-bad situation in here, G.
00:03Macy and Holt are showing signs of respiratory distress.
00:08Putting years on the job, I've never seen anything like that.
00:13Kelly Severide has worked more arson cases than anyone outside of OFI.
00:17Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
00:19Benny Severide is dead. Can't you let this go?
00:23If Lieutenant Severide's the one who taught you everything you know about arson investigations,
00:27he must be pretty damn good at it.
00:30He is.
00:33This needs to go over to internal affairs.
00:51I thought you were coming back mid-shift.
00:54I couldn't wait.
00:55Joe Spick from cabinet's training, pedal to the metal.
01:05Do you think it's your promotion murders already?
01:07I don't know.
01:09Hello?
01:11Yes, sir. Just got back in.
01:17Understood. On my way.
01:20Well?
01:21And we need to come down to headquarters right now.
01:23Wow.
01:30Lieutenant Severide?
01:32Thanks for coming down so quickly.
01:35Chief Silva, Internal Affairs.
01:38I wasn't told I was meeting with IAD.
01:44Since you were at captain's training, we were unable to conduct an initial interview with you.
01:49The case wasn't officially open until this morning.
01:52Now that you're here, you're under formal review for dereliction of duty.
01:56What dereliction?
01:59Multiple instances of leaving your assigned post during active shift hours without authorization from the commissioner's office.
02:05The only time I ever leave 51 is to assist OFI.
02:09Exactly. And you did so without requesting clearance from headquarters.
02:14Who filed the complaint?
02:17I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to disclose that.
02:19You will continue reporting for duty while the investigation proceeds.
02:23And of course, your promotion is officially on hold pending the outcome.
02:28Lieutenant, this is a serious accusation.
02:31Depending on our findings, disciplinary action could include suspension or termination.
02:42Hey, you know, you keep getting in here early, you're going to start making us all look bad.
02:46Relax, this isn't official CFD business.
02:50It's actually a little writing project I've been working on.
02:53Oh, Cyrus Mayberry making a comeback?
02:56No, the nom de plume has been retired.
02:59This is a Randall McHolland original.
03:02Really? We're not going to see any, like, Sheets on Fire sequels?
03:05Nope. This one is strictly non-fiction.
03:09In fact, some might even call it a memoir.
03:13A memoir? No kidding.
03:15It's like, uh, Book of Mouch?
03:19The title's still pending, but, yeah, something like that.
03:23How long you been at it?
03:24Couple months.
03:25It goes back to when we had to pull all that paperwork to save my job.
03:30I was reading all these reports and commendations, and I realized this is 40 years of stories right here.
03:38All I have to do is put them in order, add a little flair.
03:43And you got yourself a book.
03:45Just got to finish the intro, and Bob's your uncle.
03:49So let's see what you got.
03:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no sneak peeks.
03:53Fine. All I'm asking is that when you describe me, you use the phrase, salt of the earth.
03:58Who says you're in it at all?
04:01Vasquez, Mikami, and Novak all have the shift off.
04:05They're dealing with police follow-up on the hostage situation.
04:08So Ambulance 61 is out of service?
04:10Yes. And 81 will have a floater.
04:12Copy that. I'll get the paperwork going.
04:14And, uh, Lucy, as a battalion chief's assistant, you have access to all CFD personnel file.
04:21So I'd like you to gather a number of resumes for me.
04:24Yes, sir. Resumes for what position?
04:27I'm looking for someone to take over as the lieutenant on squad.
04:32What?
04:34You put me under review?
04:36Uh, excuse me.
04:37I take it you heard from Internal Affairs?
04:40You didn't want to tell it to my face?
04:42You had to sneak it in while I was away training?
04:43Well, the timing has nothing to do with its validity.
04:46Your past battalion chiefs may have turned a blind eye, and they were good men.
04:50But it was on you to seek authorization from headquarters before leaving your assigned post.
04:55It's not like I was out running errands.
04:57I was with OFI.
04:59Working for the CFD.
05:00If a chief at Pascal's level can be fired for breaking the rules,
05:04what makes you think you're so special?
05:06I'll fight this.
05:07On what grounds?
05:08Maybe you hurt 51 more than you realize.
05:12Maybe you should have transferred to OFI before it came to this.
05:17You break the rules, you pay the consequences.
05:20Nobody.
05:21And the CFD is above them.
05:24Not even a severed ride.
05:36Termination for assisting OFI.
05:38It's a worst-case scenario, but it's on the table.
05:42Hopkins did not seem like the kind of guy who was looking for a fight last shift.
05:45He was praising us both.
05:47He said he was glad to be a part of 51.
05:50What changed?
05:51Nothing changed.
05:52This isn't about OFI or any dereliction of duty.
05:55It's Benny.
05:58You think this is about your dad suspending him?
06:04That was 20-plus years ago.
06:05Hopkins has been on me since the second he got here.
06:09When I was at training, I kept digging through old disciplinary files,
06:12trying to figure out what the hell he did to get suspended.
06:14And?
06:17Thin paper trail, no details.
06:20It must have been bad then.
06:22Or messy.
06:24Benny wasn't exactly known for clean lines.
06:27So this is retaliation?
06:30Feels like it.
06:31I mean, I...
06:32If I can figure out what the hell actually happened between them
06:35and bring it to IAD,
06:37maybe I can get him to shut this down
06:38before it gains any traction.
06:40Yeah, but you go digging for info now.
06:42You're putting yourself on the line, Kelly.
06:44You're interfering with an active investigation.
06:46This isn't just about me, Stella.
06:47It's about protecting 51 from a commander who's willing to weaponize procedure.
06:50I can't just sit on my hands.
06:52But you also cannot put yourself front and center of the hunt.
06:58Maybe there's a way I can.
07:04Let's take a beat.
07:06Let me think about this.
07:09And then let's see you and me do this together.
07:16Okay.
07:27Jamie Holtz.
07:28I'll be damned.
07:29Reporting for duty.
07:30Ah, you look good, man.
07:31Don't act so surprised.
07:33Well, you know,
07:33after everything we all went through,
07:35you went through,
07:36on that airplane call,
07:38it's nice to see you on your feet again.
07:40You with us today?
07:41Yeah.
07:42Covering for Vasquez on 81.
07:43I've been picking up extra shifts here and there
07:46just to make up for the lost time.
07:48Well, you are in great hands with Kidd.
07:50But I gotta know,
07:52you still thinking about trying out for squad?
07:54Absolutely.
07:55Yeah, there it is.
07:57Hey, uh,
07:58how's Kidd been doing, by the way?
08:00I know her and Macy were pretty tight.
08:02A loss like that is...
08:03Yeah, yeah, she's still working through it.
08:05You know,
08:05finally got girls on fire back up and running again.
08:08We all hosted the first one about a month ago.
08:13One day at a time.
08:14Mm.
08:16And he lock us up for grabs.
08:18Follow me.
08:25Hey,
08:26I thought writing was supposed to be torture.
08:28Well, as Dorothy Parker said,
08:30I hate writing,
08:32but I love having written.
08:34So, you got the introduction done?
08:36I'm just proofing it now,
08:38and I have to say,
08:39I think it turned out pretty good.
08:41Don't be shy,
08:42share it with the class.
08:43Ah, nah,
08:44they don't want to hear this.
08:45Yes, they do.
08:45Hey, come on, guys,
08:46listen up.
08:47Mouch has written a book
08:49about us.
08:50How much about us?
08:51Oh, don't worry.
08:52Names have been changed
08:52to protect the guilty.
08:55All right,
08:56here's a...
08:57here's a bit from the opening.
08:59As we pull up to the house,
09:02smoke billows from the basement.
09:04A strange,
09:06haunted chill
09:07hangs in the air.
09:08Tommy from Squad
09:10knows why.
09:12This isn't just any house,
09:14he says.
09:15It's one of the only spots
09:17still standing
09:18from the Great Chicago Fire.
09:20A shiver runs down my spine.
09:23I realize
09:24we're pilgrims
09:25in an unholy land,
09:27and as we mask up,
09:29Chief Beaudet
09:30gives a war cry.
09:31If the Great Fire
09:33couldn't take this house down,
09:35I'll be damned
09:36if it falls on my watch.
09:38What happened next?
09:40You'll have to read
09:42to find out.

12:3351 report. What's your status?
12:36Coming out with another victim, chief!
12:59No pulse?
13:04People's fixed and dilated. Respirations?
13:08Triple zero. The victim is too far gone to resuscitate.
13:16All companies surround and drown. Nobody enters the building.
13:19Copy. Setting up a dead gun, chief.
13:2151, let's move!
13:33What are they doing on my store?
13:37You going on this building?
13:38Yeah. I got a call. The guy in the store said it was on fire.
13:41People were living inside. One of them was killed.
13:45Oh, my God.
13:56Whoa. Hey. You okay?
13:59All good, lieutenant.
14:00Wait, wait.
14:02Listen.
14:03You don't have to pretend with me.
14:06We went through something together.
14:08Thanks, lieutenant, but I'm fine.
14:10I just gotta shake it off for a minute.
14:25What'd you see in there?
14:27Caught the smell of gasoline in the back, close to where you found your victim.
14:33Could be generator fuel.
14:35Or an accelerant.
14:37Kelly.
14:38I know.
14:39I know. I can't reach out to 05, but I can flag it with Hopkins. Let him make the call.
14:51Yeah.
15:01Hey, that was one hell of an awful call, huh? Poor guy.
15:05At least we were able to get the others out.
15:07Yeah.
15:10What are you holding back there?
15:13This is it.
15:15My memoir.
15:16It's officially done.
15:19Well, how's your reading?
15:21You tell me.
15:22I was hoping you'd be my first reader.
15:25Come on, me?
15:26Who better?
15:27You know my story about as well as anyone else.
15:30Okay.
15:32What can I say?
15:34It'd be my honor.
15:35I just need you to read the intro for now.
15:37See if you feel like it sets the stage for the rest of the book.
15:41And listen, if you have feedback, I want it, okay?
15:44I'm no wilting flower here.
15:46I can take criticism.
15:48Just let me read the thing.
15:50Copy that.
15:50Enjoy the read.
15:54Oh, you mean right now?
15:57You mind?
15:58I'll take care of this.
16:00Okay.
16:02You got it.
16:06Hey, Lieutenant.
16:07Do you have a second?
16:08Of course.
16:11What's going on?
16:12Um, I know about Severide and the internal review.
16:17It's not fair.
16:19No, it's not.
16:21You heard them this morning?
16:23Yeah, but that's not why I'm here.
16:27The chief had me deliver the charge to headquarters when Severide was away.
16:32I didn't want to.
16:33I almost called him just to give him a heads up.
16:36Oh, no.
16:38Hey.
16:40You were just doing your job.
16:42All right?
16:43And if you would have called him, that would have just put you on thin ice?
16:46It just feels like I helped blindside her.
16:48You didn't.
16:49Hopkins filed the charge.
16:51IAD opened it.
16:52And that is on them.
16:54It's not on you.
16:55Yeah.
16:58You really think they're going to punish him for stepping up and helping?
17:03We'll see.
17:04I'm getting into it.
17:08Thank you, Lucy.
17:11Don't beat yourself up about this, okay?
17:16Okay.
17:27Hey.
17:29How you doing?
17:30That, uh, that fire was something in that victim.
17:33It's a miracle there weren't more of them like that.
17:36Yeah.
17:38Took us both a second to recover.
17:40Makes sense.
17:41I fell for the guy.
17:43That's all.
17:44But we roll with the punches best we can, right?
17:48It's part of the job.
17:51Right.
17:52Part of the job.
18:23I like it.
18:26Lieutenant Severod.
18:27I contacted Captain Hargrave.
18:30Passed along your observations from the scene.
18:32She's here with a request.
18:34Since there was a fatality, the Halloween Village fire is now an OFI priority.
18:39I reached out to CFD headquarters and already secured approval to bring you in.
18:43It wouldn't have been my call, but it seems it was already in motion.
18:47Crews will act up as squad lieutenant for the remainder of shift.
18:52Yes, sir.
18:54I'd like to tour the scene together.
18:55You can walk me through what you saw.
18:59I'll grab my coat.
19:09You and I work well together.
19:11Despite the current situation and your personal connection to Lieutenant Severod.
19:19This is not about my relationship, Chief.
19:23It's about 51 as a whole.
19:27Which, you said yourself, it's a great firehouse.
19:31And it's a close one.
19:33We stick together.
19:35So if Severod is sidelined...
19:3751 isn't the only great firehouse in this city, Lieutenant.
19:40I'd hate to see it broken up.
19:42But if that's what it takes to clean up the CFD, that's the price I'm willing to pay.
19:55Here are the resumes you asked for, Chief.
19:56Oh, thank you.
20:08Anything else?
20:09Yeah, I wanted to say thank you for bringing me on as your assistant.
20:15You're welcome.
20:16You're doing good work.
20:18I appreciate that.
20:20Because I love it here.
20:22At 51, it's a really special place.
20:24And it's a special group of people.
20:28So, yeah.
20:36And fast-track it if you can.
20:37I'd like those files by end of shift today.
20:41I appreciate it.
20:42Okay.
20:43Yeah.
20:43Let me know if you find something.
20:46Okay.
20:46Lieutenant?
20:48Hey!
20:48Hey.
20:49Um, I'm guessing that you heard that Severod's assistant OFI on their case, right?
20:53I did, yeah.
20:54Why?
20:54What's up?
20:54I was wondering if I could grab Holt.
20:56To run some drills since we're a man short.
20:58A while back, he mentioned some interest in gunning for squad one day,
21:01and he must have enough training by now to be useful on the floor.
21:04Is that the only reason?
21:07I might give him a boost, you know?
21:09Training with the top guns of 51.
21:11Mm.
21:13Yeah, I, um, I, I, I saw him kind of lock up a little bit during that last call.
21:19And he said he was fine.
21:22Yeah, don't we all?
21:24He's traveling some rough road.
21:26I know you get it.
21:28Mm.
21:30Yeah, bring him in for the drill.
21:32Thank you, Lieutenant.
21:33Mm-hmm.
21:42Back here.
21:43This is where I first caught the smell of gasoline.
21:45It's still hanging in the air.
21:48See the V pattern?
21:51Possible point of origin.
21:54Well, it looks like a hot plate.
21:56It would make sense if they were living here.
21:58But butane burns clean.
22:00If this were accidental, you'd have vertical damage,
22:02but there's deep charring in the floor here.
22:11Uh, hydrocarbons.
22:20It's gasoline.
22:21Look at this.
22:23Heavy pore pattern.
22:24Dump a few gallons of gasoline under a hot plate.
22:27Turn it on.
22:28You're halfway home before it heats up and ignites the vapors.
22:30This wasn't someone making dinner.
22:32If we can trace this, we have our ignition source.
22:35And maybe our arsonist.
22:41Well, I'm dying here.
22:42What'd you think?
22:43Oh, it's solid work, Mouch.
22:45Really.
22:46What does solid mean?
22:47Like, there's great stuff in the introduction.
22:50You know, the way that you bring the first call to life.
22:53I mean, you got a gift, Mouch.
22:56Seriously.
22:57Okay.
22:58Feels like there's a but after that.
23:00Well, you know, if I'm going to be honest, I do feel like there is something missing.
23:07All right.
23:09But, uh, I'm not really a creative type like you, so I don't got the words.
23:15It's just that I feel like it needs to be, um, a there.
23:22There.
23:23A there there.
23:25Yeah.
23:27Can you be more specific?
23:29It's just, I feel like it's, it's missing a piece.
23:34And that is?
23:35The, uh, there, there.
23:38Okay.
23:39Forget it.
23:40Whoa, come on.
23:40You said that you wanted feedback.
23:42Herman, this isn't feedback.
23:45Okay, so I don't know how to phrase it.
23:48I told you that this is not my world.
23:49I know.
23:51Obviously not.
23:52What?
23:54Hey, I'm just trying to help.
23:57All right, listen up, gentlemen.
23:58We got a roof collapse.
23:59One victim pinned in.
24:01Our mission is to extricate.
24:03Start by stabilizing.
24:05Build yourself a safe work zone.
24:08Good, good.
24:09You got it.
24:09Just keep going.
24:18Good, good.
24:20All right, now take it easy.
24:21Control.
24:22Pull.
24:23Don't muscle it.
24:32I'm done.
24:34Hey, man, don't worry about it.
24:36Look, you don't have anything to prove here.
24:38Let's just stack them up and we'll run it again.
24:40You think I need this?
24:41You're not my lieutenant, and I'm not your project.
24:44So just back the hell off.
24:48Yo, Holt.
24:56Any sign of a pressure vent from the canister?
25:00No blast signature.
25:02The vent could have just fed the fire.
25:05You hear that?
25:11Hey, stop!
25:27Man, get off me!
25:28This is an active fire scene.
25:30You can't be in here.
25:31Then what are you doing here?
25:32Office of Fire Investigation.
25:36I didn't know.
25:37I thought maybe you got to it first.
25:40Got to what?
25:40Whatever started the fire.
25:41We saw you back there packing something up.
25:44The owner of this place, he just put out a reward of 100 grand.
25:48He said he paid cash to know how it started.
25:50100 grand?
25:51Yeah.
25:52Everyone at the shelter was talking about it.
25:54We booked it here as soon as we heard it.
25:55So you ducked our tape and broke in here hoping to find what?
25:59I don't know.
26:00Anything.
26:01Something worth that type of money.
26:10Firehouse 51, this is Lucy.
26:12Hi, this is Vivette and personnel.
26:14I'm returning a call.
26:15Oh, thank you.
26:17I already got the resumes.
26:18The email came in a couple hours ago.
26:20Oh, this isn't about resumes, actually.
26:22I spoke to Lieutenant Kidd earlier.
26:24Can you let her know I was told she does not have access to the files she requested?
26:28Oh, okay.
26:30She can reroute the request through Superior if that helps.
26:36Right.
26:37Um, when I see her next shift, I will let her know.
27:08How's the case coming along?
27:11Uh, looks like the stove here was the ignition point.
27:15Trying to pull an identifier.
27:17Serial stamp, manufacturer code, anything that ties it to a purchase.
27:21Not much left.
27:23We're exploring other angles.
27:24Hargrave's back at OFI fielding and a tidal wave of tips coming in.
27:28The owner put up 100 grand.
27:30Insurance policy contingent on calls, huh?
27:33Maybe.
27:36I can see how invested you are.
27:40That kind of focus is an asset.
27:44But passion doesn't override procedure, Lieutenant.
27:47Solving this case won't buy you any leniency with IED.
27:58Hi.
27:59Is there someone I can talk to about the Halloween Village fire yesterday?
28:02You were there?
28:04Yeah.
28:05So were we.
28:05What's going on?
28:07I know who started it.
28:13You got a sec?
28:14I was hoping maybe we could clear the air.
28:17Of course.
28:20Me storming off like that, that was my ego talking.
28:24And it's not an excuse.
28:25But getting notes on your writing can be tough.
28:29And I know you were just trying to help.
28:32It's not like I was giving you any solid gold ideas.
28:35To be fair, I didn't give you much of a chance.
28:38You were hovering a little.
28:41The intro is great.
28:42And the book is going to be great.
28:44I just should have left it at that.
28:46No.
28:46I meant what I said.
28:49I really do want your thoughts.
28:52Well, I have been thinking more about what I think is missing.
28:55You figured out the there, there?
28:59I did.
29:01It's you.
29:02Me.
29:04This is your story, Mouch.
29:06The opening rescue, that's great.
29:08But what I need is more, Mouch.
29:11Your journey.
29:12All the things that you've been through.
29:13That's what I think is going to make this stand out.
29:18Well, you think I should lead with that?
29:21People are going to care about the book because they care about you.
29:25Let them see Mouch the way I do.
29:31And that's my two cents.
29:33That's a good note, Herman.
29:38Are you going to add a chapter about how I saved your book?
29:44Would you settle for a footnote?
29:46Wait, did you catch Hope before you took off?
29:49I got so wrapped up in other house business that I didn't get a chance to check in with him
29:54again.
29:54So he left after shift without saying a word.
29:57I mean, I don't know if more attention from us would have been helpful, honestly.
30:03None of us are wired to talk.
30:05But I just feel for the guy.
30:09You know, he has his team at 68 to keep him afloat.
30:13Yeah.
30:18We heard you started using again.
30:20That's why I'm here.
30:21We were also told you had issues with some of the other squatters.
30:25And the fire started in the area you camp out in.
30:27I wasn't there.
30:29I've been locked up in here.
30:31Trying to get clean.
30:33You can't come and go?
30:34It's not a hotel.
30:36Well, we have someone that places you at the scene.
30:37Says you own a butane stove.
30:40We're in there lying.
30:42Who said that?
30:43Jamila?
30:45What, that old-timer Frankie?
30:46Acts like he's a HOA president or something?
30:49Man, I wasn't there.
30:51I didn't start any fire.
30:52When did you check in here?
30:54Last Thursday.
30:56Social worker dragged me up out of the store in front of everybody.
31:02Look, I ain't left here since.
31:04You can check at the front.
31:06They keep a close eye on us.
31:09Hey, hon, it's me.
31:10We're still running down leads.
31:12It's a bit of a mess.
31:15Might be out late.
31:16Give me a call.
31:18Front desk confirmed it.
31:20He was here all week.
31:21Logged in and out of meetings.
31:22No exits.
31:23Why the hell would Taryn put him there?
31:25You can think of 100,000 reasons.
31:28Once a reward gets thrown in, people jump in, start guessing.
31:31It's impossible to tell what's real and what's a wild goose chase.
31:37Maybe that's the point.
31:48I assume they say it's urgent since I got called out of the office.
31:56You got a lead?
31:57Even better.
31:58We solved the case.
31:59Confirmed arson.
32:00Thanks to Taryn.
32:02Looks like she gets her $100,000 reward.
32:08Well, she brought you a proof because that's a lot of money.
32:11It was a mattress in the back storage area.
32:13Somebody lit it and ran.
32:14That's not...
32:15Not what?
32:17Well, I just mean, you sound pretty sure you must have evidence.
32:21We do.
32:23Well, I'd like to see it.
32:25I think that's fair if I'm going to hand over $100,000.
32:31I'm going to guess he doesn't have the cash.
32:33Makes sense, considering his property was struggling to lease, been in the hole for years.
32:39Worth more as an insurance payout.
32:41Should have been easy.
32:43Make it look like a cooking accident, some careless squatter.
32:46But then I called and told you there was suspicion on cause, and suddenly a reward went out.
32:52And you had to change plans.
32:54Destroy the scene.
32:55Corrupt the investigation.
32:56That's absurd.
32:58I was just trying to help you solve it.
33:00You pulled a partial off the hot plate.
33:05Nice, detailed ridge.
33:09You willing to give us your print?
33:13I want a lawyer.
33:15Okay.
33:16Then let's get you to the holding cell.
33:27So that's it?
33:29I'm done here?
33:30Yeah, you did good.
33:32He walked right into it.
33:34Well, you did your part.
33:35The second he saw you, he started to unravel.
33:38Sorry there won't be any reward.
33:41A hundred grand would have been great.
33:44But, um, the guy who died, Angelo, he was a good person.
33:52He let you borrow his phone charger.
33:56He always shared whatever food he had.
34:01He didn't deserve that.
34:10You know, we didn't even have to break in.
34:12The back door was unlocked.
34:14And no one ever tried to kick us out.
34:33Thank you for not standing me up.
34:41Listen, the way I acted doing those drills,
34:44blowing up at you,
34:46that was uncalled for.
34:49And you should know I'm rethinking going for squad.
34:52So, uh,
34:53I guess I wouldn't have been much use anyway.
34:58Jamie, I, uh,
34:59I spoke to your lieutenant on 68.
35:03I know you haven't been back to your firehouse
35:05since the airplane call.
35:09Trying to get it right before I go back there.
35:13Macy was a friend, you know?
35:21We, um,
35:22we had this guy
35:23on truck,
35:25Otis,
35:26great firefighter.
35:28More than that, you know,
35:29he was a brother,
35:31my best friend.
35:33He died
35:34in the line of duty,
35:35and, uh,
35:38when that happened, man,
35:39I,
35:40I didn't think I'd ever go back to 51 again.
35:45But,
35:47the thing is,
35:50if you want to get right,
35:53you got to go back.
35:55You don't get to skip the part
35:57where you feel her presence everywhere.
35:59Or what?
36:01She's gone.
36:03I don't need that constant reminder.
36:06But you're not in on it alone.
36:08That's the whole point of your firehouse.
36:10They know exactly what you're feeling.
36:13Because they're carrying it, too.
36:17So go back.
36:20For your sake and theirs.
36:24They're waiting for you, man.
36:30Around the firehouse,
36:31they call me Mouch.
36:33Which, for the uninitiated,
36:35is short for half man, half couch.
36:37For 30 years now,
36:39that's been the name I answer to.
36:41As you might imagine,
36:42given that moniker,
36:44I was never the likeliest candidate
36:46for glory.
36:47And yet, here I am,
36:50in the twilight of my career,
36:52against all odds,
36:53answering to a new name.
36:56Lieutenant.
36:58These are the accounts
37:00of Lieutenant Randall
37:01Mouch McCollin.
37:04Wow.
37:05That's perfect.
37:07I wouldn't change a thing.
37:09The only thing you need now
37:11is a title.
37:12I already got one.
37:13Yeah?
37:14From Couch to Command.
37:17Oh, I like that.
37:18It's very you.
37:20That's the idea.
37:21So, what happens now?
37:23Uh, I send it out.
37:26See if any publishers
37:28are interested in this.
37:31Come on.
37:32Who wouldn't want that?
37:37Yeah.
37:41Before we go,
37:42I heard about the charge
37:43against you.
37:46There might be a way
37:47I can help.
37:50I'm listening.
37:52As you know,
37:53I'm only the interim head
37:54of this department.
37:55My plan's always been
37:56to go back to forensics.
37:58But if I recommend you
37:59as my permanent replacement,
38:01I can fast track it.
38:02So you're saying
38:03OFI can shield me?
38:03I'm saying they're not
38:05going to drag
38:05the newly appointed
38:06head of OFI
38:07through a public
38:08IAD investigation,
38:09not with your arson record.
38:11Your conviction rate?
38:12Your reputation?
38:14It'd be a bad look
38:15for the CFD.
38:17You step into the job
38:18before they get
38:19their footing.
38:20You leave 51,
38:21take the position,
38:23you'd be free and clear.
38:25So I just...
38:26I'll run it.
38:27It won't look like
38:28you're running.
38:29It'll look like
38:30a promotion.
38:42There's my girl.
38:44Hey, Dad.
38:46Working through dinner.
38:47I'm shocked.
38:48Want some food?
38:49No, I had a burger
38:50at Laney's place.
38:52That have to do
38:53with the Halloween village fire?
38:55How do you know about that?
38:57Bunch of social media
38:58posts about it.
38:59Mm-hmm.
39:00The guy died in there,
39:01right?
39:02Yep.
39:03Arson.
39:04Mm-hmm.
39:05You gonna catch who did it?
39:06One of my men did,
39:07just today.
39:09Damn.
39:10That was fast.
39:12Mm-hmm.
39:12Your guy must be good.
39:16Yes.
39:17Bet he can't solve
39:18my trig homework, though.
39:20Literally,
39:20no one can.
39:21I'm done.
39:23Yeah.
39:38Oh, my God.
39:40I'm done.
39:41I'm done.
39:43I'm done.
39:44You're done.
39:48I'm done.
39:50You're done.
40:51No way in hell I'm going to let that happen.
40:52Chicago Fire, new next Wednesday on NBC and Peacock.
40:55You were found unconscious and you have a concussion.
40:58I don't remember anything at all.
41:00You were investigating a murder.
41:02Do you know why you were attacked?
41:06Do you remember anything?
41:07Chicago PD, new next on NBC and Peacock.
41:10There you go.
41:16There you go.
