00:04This is a Randall McHolland origin.
00:06A memoir?
00:07I send it out, see if any publishers are interested.
00:11You put me under review?
00:13You think this is about your dad suspending him?
00:15You go digging for info now, you're interfering with an active investigation.
00:19This isn't just about me, Stella.
00:21It's about protecting 51.
00:22Let's you and me do this together.
00:25Lieutenant Kidd does not have access to the files she requested.
00:29Right.
00:30When I see her next shift, I will let her know.
00:41Hey, give me a come in.
00:43So how much did Hargrave tell you?
00:45She said she offered to hand you the reins at OFI.
00:47Yeah, that was only to get me out of the hopping situation.
00:50Hargrave thinks that it might help squash the internal review he ordered.
00:54Where's Stella?
00:55Stella had to take off late last night to Cleveland to go see Isaiah.
00:59Everything all right there?
01:00Yeah, his mother had a little setback in her recovery.
01:03Sorry to hear that.
01:04Yeah, Doc thinks she's going to be okay, but Isaiah was a little freaked out.
01:08Before Stella left, she showed me this.
01:15That was dropped off here anonymously yesterday.
01:18Turns out Hopkins and some other firefighter, Williams, were accused of stealing some high-end watch in a structure fire
01:24back in 1997.
01:27IAD eventually cleared them of any wrongdoing, but Benny still suspended them for conduct unbecoming and had him transferred out
01:32of 66.
01:34This explains why Hopkins is coming after you.
01:36It's retaliation.
01:37More like revenge, and he's willing to break up 51 to get it.
01:41Then there's no way in hell I'm going to let that happen.
01:43Take it to IAD.
01:44I got to come through this file first.
01:45I got to make sure I understand everything and everything that happened before I make a retaliation case to IAD.
01:52Whatever you do, you got to do it fast.
01:55You don't have much time before IAD issues their finding in your case.
01:59How much time are we talking about?
02:01A couple of days, at most.
02:10Chief?
02:11Lieutenant?
02:18My office.
02:30What's going on, boss?
02:33Lots happened in the past week, and I haven't been able to read you in on it.
02:36But with Stella gone, I could really use your help.
02:38Absolutely. Whatever you need.
02:40Shut the door. Come on in.
02:47Hey, Lucy.
02:48I got a bone to break with you.
02:50What did I do?
02:51Well, you've been here a month, and I have yet to see you over at Miles.
02:56Okay, well, I didn't know I was invited.
02:58Oh, yeah.
02:59It's 51's bar. It makes it your bar, too.
03:01Thanks, Trevor.
03:02It means a lot.
03:03Two drink minimum, because I got three kids. I got to put their college.
03:06Okay, all right, all right.
03:09Hey, March.
03:10You getting a jump on a cabin inspection?
03:13No, I'm stashing my phone in there.
03:15I have to get it off my person.
03:18I'm just going to keep checking it.
03:20You know, I got to do the same thing with Annabelle's phone.
03:22Oh, did she send a memoir out to publishers, too?
03:26Hmm, so I take it that you haven't heard anything yet?
03:30Fifty query letters and not one reply.
03:34It's a book match, huh?
03:35You got to give the publishers some time, and everybody reads as fast as I do.
03:40Didn't it take you two years to read the Da Vinci Code?
03:44I was shavering it.
03:46Hmm.
03:47Now, don't get me wrong.
03:48I'd love to see Molly's killing it, especially since the Herman family is starting their rebuild soon.
03:53But last night was insane.
03:54I know, right?
03:55It was popping off, as the kids say.
03:57And yet, no Vasquez again.
03:59Yeah.
04:01Speak of the devil.
04:03Hey, Serpico.
04:05We missed you at Molly's last night.
04:06Where were you?
04:07Mike's cop bar?
04:07Something like that.
04:09Squad three, engine 51, truck 81, ammo 61.
04:13Motor vehicle accident, 427 Racine Avenue.
04:38Hey.
04:39Hey, I saw the whole thing.
04:40This truck, it swerves to avoid a pedestrian, and then bounced off the curb.
04:43Whoa, slow down.
04:44What truck?
04:45It's down there.
04:48Back up.
04:50Hey, big screw.
05:01Hey, back up.
05:02Hey, everybody, back up.
05:04Let's see.
05:05Back up.
05:09Say hello, bud.
05:10We'll get you out.
05:18Hey, we got a fuel spread.
05:20It's coming from the truck.
05:21Copy that.
05:22Dorney, let's drop two lines.
05:25Help, please.
05:26Please, please, please.
05:27Help.
05:27Please get me out.
05:28Hey, Herbert, we got two victims, one in each vehicle.
05:31Squads, charge and cribbing now.
05:33Copy.
05:33Guys, grab the cutters and drives.
05:35Bobby.
05:37Just hang on, all right?
05:38We got to stabilize this truck, and then we'll get you out.
05:41Okay.
05:45Let's go, let's go.
05:46We got to move.
05:49Hey, Herbert.
05:49Yeah.
05:50You get the victim out of this sedan once I give you the whole set.
05:52Copy that.
05:58All right, anyone's ready to go?
06:0030 seconds, Erland.
06:02All right, charge both lines and stand at the ready.
06:05Koki, stay on the fuel.
06:07Copy.
06:10Trunks are set.
06:12All right, Herman, you're good to go.
06:13All right, guys.
06:14Right at door open.
06:22Hey, bud.
06:23You hear me?
06:25Sit tight, we'll get you out.
06:26Cruz, we're getting you a C-collar and a half-skid.
06:28Copy that, cab.
06:29Come on in.
06:31There we go, we got it.
06:33Ballard, got it.
06:36How are you doing, miss?
06:41We're going to get you out of here, okay?
06:42Just nice and easy.
06:43Nice and easy.
06:45It's good.
06:49Here you go, lieutenant.
06:59I got it.
07:00C-collar, please.
07:01Novak, need your help.
07:02You got it?
07:03Mm-hmm.
07:04Okay.
07:07Hang on.
07:09There you go.
07:10All right, Cruz.
07:12It's good, coming in.
07:15I got it.
07:16There you go.
07:17Got you.
07:18Watch your head.
07:19Go ahead, grab her head.
07:19Got it.
07:21Ready?
07:21Three, two, one.
07:24Good job.
07:25All right, we're going to pull you up and out of here.
07:27It's going to hurt a bit, okay?
07:28Ready?
07:28Yeah, ready.
07:36You got a battery arc?
07:38Wash it down.
07:40Wait, no.
07:41March.
07:42Hold.
07:43Hey, wait until everybody's clear.
07:46The water's going to spread all the gas vapors.
07:53One, two, three, go.
07:59Not a bunch.
08:00No more.
08:03See you out, Joe.
08:04All right, get them to the medics.
08:11Got it?
08:14You're way back.
08:15Way back.
08:16Back.
08:17That's the roof.
08:17Hold.
08:18Hey.
08:20Come on, come on.
08:24Clear.
08:24You're heading!
08:48All right, shut it down.
08:52Let's grab some oil, dry them up, all this up.
08:54Keep it out of the drains.
08:56Hey, listen.
08:57Mouch?
08:59Nice job.
08:59Mouch!
09:09Five companies responded to a fire at a shoe store in Bridgeport.
09:13Two truck, two engine, one ambo.
09:15And Benny was the incident commander.
09:16Right.
09:17And at some point, he ordered both Hopkins and Williams into the jewelry shop next door to check for victims
09:22and fire extension.
09:24Once the operation was over, the owner of the jewelry store discovered that a watch valued at approximately $50,000
09:31was missing from his back office.
09:36Well, how did they rule out insurance fraud?
09:38That seems like the obvious explanation.
09:42Well, it looks like the security footage put the watch on top of a work table right up to the
09:46point where the firefighters got there and cut the power to the building.
09:48Cameras went dark after that.
09:56And according to this, Hopkins and Williams were the only two firefighters who ever went in the jewelry store.
10:01Uh, wait.
10:02Well, that means it had to be one of them.
10:04There's no other possibility.
10:05But you said that IED cleared them.
10:06What was their defense?
10:07I don't know.
10:08The official findings said insufficient evidence.
10:12Do you have Hopkins and Williams form twos around there?
10:15Uh, Hopkins.
10:17And, uh, Williams.
10:23Wait.
10:26This is Williams?
10:28Yeah, why?
10:32This woman came to the firehouse looking for Hopkins last week, right before the charges came down against you.
10:37She has to be in on it with him.
10:40It makes perfect sense.
10:41She's got all the same reasons as Hopkins.
10:43Same beef against Benny.
10:47I have to go talk to her.
10:48You sure that's a good idea?
10:49She's not going to admit to anything.
10:51Well, from what I know about Hopkins, he's obviously willing to steamroll anyone to get what he wants.
10:56Maybe that includes Williams.
11:04Hey, I guess, um, we need to talk about the call.
11:08Well, just writing it up now.
11:11Look, I did not mean to undermine you in front of your company.
11:15You know, in what you were setting up to do.
11:17You know, throwing water down.
11:18That is usually the right move.
11:20But in this case...
11:21You spent years on engine.
11:23You know your stuff.
11:25It's no problem.
11:27Well, you're not acting like it's no problem.
11:34It's this book, I guess.
11:36I suppose I just don't like the waiting.
11:39Okay, well, maybe stashing your phone away is making it worse.
11:42You want me to go get it?
11:43No, no, just...
11:44Just leave it.
11:46Try to keep myself occupied.
11:48Okay.
11:49Well, don't let me stop you.
12:02Catherine Williams?
12:05Kelly Severi?
12:06Yeah, I know who you are, Lieutenant.
12:09I have no intention of discussing an ongoing investigation with you.
12:14So I suggest you stop whatever it is you're doing
12:17before you make your situation any worse.
12:20I'm just trying to understand this massive grudge
12:23that Hopkins has against my father.
12:25I read the full disciplinary file, and from what I can see...
12:28If you've read the file, then you know IAD cleared us.
12:31They never found the watch.
12:33They never found a single shred of physical evidence against us.
12:37And yet, your father still took it upon himself
12:40to try to derail our careers.
12:41Because you and Hopkins were the only ones
12:43who ever went in that store.
12:45Ever.
12:45It may not have been enough to bring on criminal charges,
12:48but if I'm in my father's shoes,
12:49I'm sure I would have come to the same conclusion.
12:51Okay.
12:52That's enough, Lieutenant.
12:54If I'm wrong, you tell me what I'm missing.
12:56All I know is what I saw with my own eyes.
13:00Hopkins was next to me the whole time.
13:02That's how I know he didn't do it,
13:04and how he knows I didn't do it.
13:06As for who else may or may not have been inside that store
13:09in zero visibility smoke conditions?
13:12I can't speak to that.
13:15Wait a sec.
13:15Are you saying that there was someone else in there?
13:19Who?
13:19The report said every other firefighter on scene was accounted for.
13:22That's right.
13:24But who accounted for the incident commander?
13:29Are you saying my father did it?
13:32This meeting is over, Lieutenant.
13:34I have work to do.
13:50How the hell did Severod get his hands on that file?
13:53It was definitely pulled from my department.
13:55I'll find out by who.
13:57Severod's trying to connect the dots
13:59between his IAD review
14:00and what Benny did to us back in the day.
14:03That's why he came to see me.
14:05He's going to argue the charges against him on retaliatory.
14:08He was.
14:09I think he's on a whole different track
14:11now that he knows there's more to the story
14:13than what's in the official report.
14:15Did you tell me it was Benny who stole the watch?
14:17Not exactly, but he put it together.
14:22Look.
14:25Getting rid of Severod and his kind
14:27is obviously the goal here.
14:29But Benny's dead, Gene.
14:31And now we've set up his son to take him down?
14:35It feels more...
14:36I don't know.
14:38Personal somehow.
14:39And what good will it do anyway?
14:42The case has been cold for 30 years.
14:45You really think that Severod's
14:46going to magically solve it now?
14:48I wouldn't worry about it, Andre.
14:50But if he's off chasing ghosts,
14:52that just means he's not building
14:54a retaliation case against us.
14:56And that's a good thing
14:57for the whole CFD, right?
15:01Benny takes command outside of Urban Soul,
15:03that's the shoe store,
15:05at, uh...
15:07601-28.
15:09He orders Hopkins and Williams
15:11to force the jewelry store security gate
15:14at 604-14.
15:17And then Hopkins.
15:18Two inside, Chief.
15:19Working our way through the showroom.
15:21Moderate smoke.
15:22No hotspots on the Delta side yet.
15:24Then 606-18.
15:26Hopkins says,
15:27I got a locked door back here.
15:29Bravo, Charlie Corner.
15:30I'm guessing it's an office.
15:31Forcing it now.
15:33Hopkins' office is clear, Chief.
15:35We're moving back to the showroom,
15:36and that's at 609-44.
15:39Okay, Williams got a bunch of smoke
15:41coming in from somewhere.
15:42Still negative on the Delta side.
15:44Fire sprinklers just triggered,
15:45cooling things down.
15:46And then Benny issued the order
15:47for them to pick up
15:48and secure the doors
15:49at 614-44.
15:53And then Hopkins.
15:55Two out, Chief.
15:56Doors are secure
15:57at 616-59.
16:031659.
16:06That's more than 10 minutes.
16:10They had all the time in the world.
16:11And nobody else goes inside
16:12until after the owner showed up.
16:15Let's track Benny.
16:17Benny, he was out front
16:19asking for progress reports,
16:20calling out smoke conditions
16:21every couple of seconds,
16:23and at 604-31,
16:25they pull a victim
16:26out of the shoe stool.
16:27604-31.
16:29There's a bunch of back and forth
16:30between the medics and the main
16:31for the next few minutes.
16:33Male victim, 50s,
16:34severe smoke inhalation.
16:36Yep, Benny reported
16:36the paramedics were departing
16:38for Lakeshore at 611-28.
16:42And, um, let's see here.
16:44Here we...
16:46What happened next?
16:51What is it, Cruz?
16:54Um,
16:57Benny was off radio
16:58for, uh, 98 seconds.
17:01I mean, the statement says
17:03that he was outside the whole time,
17:04but he was alone
17:06for those 98 seconds.
17:07No one could cooperate
17:09his whereabouts.
17:13Well, uh...
17:14Well, that doesn't prove anything.
17:16We just have to comb through
17:16the files and find another way
17:18to nail down where he was
17:19for those 98 seconds.
17:21Why?
17:24I'm sorry.
17:25I...
17:26Maybe I'm not sure
17:27what it is we're doing here exactly.
17:29If there's something else
17:30you want to say here, Cruz...
17:31I just...
17:33I keep thinking
17:34what Kid would say
17:35if she was here
17:35and how
17:37maybe she'd be trying to
17:39keep you from digging
17:39into Benny's past like this?
17:44I'm so sorry.
17:45I just...
17:45I thought this was about
17:46saving your job.
17:47It's all connected, Cruz.
17:49I gotta see it through.
17:55You know what I don't get?
17:57Huh?
17:57Smash burgers.
17:58When did that become a thing?
18:00You don't like smash burgers?
18:01Okay, what are we doing?
18:02We're scraping the griddle
18:04and putting all that
18:04fried gunk on the patty?
18:05Ew, no thank you.
18:06That's it.
18:07We are getting cashes for dinner.
18:09AVO 61.
18:10We got a person down
18:10of unknown causes.
18:12512 Kenwood Avenue.
18:13Truck 81 is in route to assist.
18:15Copy that.
18:15On our way.

18:34There's a girl
18:34passed out upstairs.
18:36We tried to wake her up
18:36but she's really out of it.
18:38Okay.
18:39All right, pass.
18:39Yeah, a stair chair.
18:40Yeah.
18:40Show us the way.
18:45What's this girl's name?
18:46I'm not sure.
18:47I never met her before.
18:48She came with this girl,
18:49Becca,
18:49but Becca just took off.
18:50Did they do any drugs,
18:51you know?
18:52I don't know.
18:53I heard some people
18:53were doing X
18:54but this doesn't seem
18:55like what that is.
18:59Okay, let's grab naloxone
19:01and the nasal atomizer.
19:08Heidi?
19:09Oh my God, Heidi!
19:10Heidi, Heidi!
19:11Oh God, it's your sister.
19:14Hey.
19:15Come on, Heidi, it's me.
19:16It's Lizzie, come on.
19:17Heidi!
19:19Heidi!
19:19Hey, hey, Heidi, Heidi.
19:20Hey, Heidi, wake up.
19:22Come on.
19:23Hey, come on.

19:24Yep, you got it.
19:25Novak, Novak, airway.
19:40Come on.
19:42Wake up, wake up.
19:43Wake up, wake up.
19:44I'm coming in.
19:50Wake up.
20:01She's still unresponsive.
20:02Okay, but rhythm is steady.
20:04Pulse is strong.
20:05Stats are coming up.
20:05Okay, just keep bagging.
20:06I'll start an IV, and we'll give her another dose.
20:12Liz, you want me to take over?
20:17Okay.
20:18Okay, come on.
20:18Second dose coming in.
20:20Here we go.
20:22Yeah.
20:25She should be waking up.
20:26Just give it a couple seconds, okay?
20:34Okay, let's get her on the stair chair.
20:36You got it.
20:37Back up.
20:37It's okay.
20:38It's okay.
20:43Found unresponsive, no respiration.
20:45Pupils pinpoint, gave two milligrams of naloxone intranasal.
20:48No response, gave another two IV.
20:49It's after 95 on 15 liters of oxygen.
20:52It's okay.
20:53You're going to be all right, okay?
20:53Let's put her on the monitor.
20:54Check her ice PO2, and get her naloxone.
21:04You go to a party, somebody offers you something.
21:07These days, there's no way of knowing whether it's safe or not.
21:09All right, I mean, I can't imagine seeing your sister like that.
21:12No.
21:13I hope Heidi's okay.
21:14Yeah.
21:15The narc cancer, he did his job.
21:17Yeah.
21:20Is that music?
21:21Yeah.
21:21It's a rink tone.
21:34Holy hell.
21:38Mouch!
21:42Hey, Mouch!
21:44Publishers call it.
21:46Send it to voicemail.
21:47What?
21:48No, hey, this could be the call.
21:53What are you doing?
21:54All you've been talking about is wanting to hear from me.
21:56Didn't I tell you to keep the phone in the rig?
22:00Okay, so now you don't want to sell the book?
22:03I don't know, Herman.
22:04Okay, I don't know.
22:06Is that all right with you?
22:07Hey, sell the book, don't sell the book.
22:09I don't care.
22:10I got your back either way, but don't go yelling at me just because I was trying to help you.
22:23This is the only camera that was able to catch the entire frontal.
22:26That rig there is blocking most of the view.
22:29You can see Benny pop up in a bunch of the frames.
22:32There.
22:32There.
22:34There.
22:35But not during the 98 seconds.
22:40Maybe we missed something in one of the form two statements.
22:43Yeah.
22:50Hey.
22:52You see this one?
22:54I didn't realize how deep the building went.
22:57Benny had a 98 second window, right?
22:59Well, do we know for sure that that was enough time for him to go inside, grab the watch, and
23:02come back out?
23:03Between the front door and the back office, it's 50 feet at least.
23:08It's not just the distance.
23:09He would have been crossing in zero visibility.
23:12And have to navigate through all sorts of obstacles, the jewelry cases, countertops, God knows what else.
23:18Maybe we can reconstruct the exact path from the insurance photos.
23:22Yeah.
23:33There's counters on both sides, but it looks like it's a straight shot to the back of the store.
23:39Maybe this display thing could have slowed him down a bit, but...
23:49What time did Benny report Engine 24 landing?
23:57What time did the sprinkler system at the jewelry store go on?
24:026.14.38.
24:05We're looking at the wrong time window.
24:11Yes.
24:12Yes, ma'am.
24:12We're still waiting on a medical update.
24:14So with your permission, I would like to take 61 out of service for the duration.
24:20Understood.
24:20Okay, thank you.
24:22Um, yeah.
24:22Well, I don't know.
24:27Hey.
24:28How is she?
24:29We don't know yet, but someone should be out any minute with an update.
24:34How the hell did this happen, Lizzie?
24:36Did someone slip something in her drink?
24:38She wouldn't take that stuff intentionally, right?
24:41Novak family?
24:43That's us.
24:44What's going on?
24:45Your sister's awake and stable.
24:47She's still a little foggy.
24:49But doctor says you can go in and see her now.
24:51Okay.
25:11We've got to stop meeting like this.
25:18I'm sorry, Lizzie.
25:21I'm sorry, Lizzie.
25:23This is...
25:27What are you thinking?
25:32I don't know.
25:34It wasn't.
25:36This is...
25:39You cannot keep going down this road, Heidi.
25:41This has to stop.
25:44What are you guys talking about?
25:46This isn't the first time?
25:49This has happened before?
25:51I'm sorry, well, I...
25:52How could you guys not tell me?
25:54We weren't really talking, remember?
25:56And you've been off doing your own thing.
25:58Living way the hell out in Aurora with that girl and your dogs.
26:02Her name's Jolene, Heidi.
26:05And that's your explanation?
26:07That's not what this is.
26:09We just...
26:09We didn't want to worry you.
26:11Like, you didn't want to worry me when you were here?
26:13They thought you might die.
26:17What the hell is wrong with this family?
26:32Night, Chief.
26:33I'll upload all these requisitions for you before I go.
26:36I noticed some highly sensitive files were pulled from personnel recently.
26:41So I looked into who requested them.
26:44Well, I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I discovered it was me.
26:49I wasn't...
26:50I know how it looks.
26:52I just...
26:52It doesn't matter, Lizzie.
26:53I'm sure you had your reasons.
26:55The only thing that matters is I can't trust you anymore.
26:59Chief.
27:00I have to let you go.
27:03You're done here, 51.
27:10I see.
27:12I see.
27:13I see.
27:16I see.
27:17I see.
27:17I see.
27:19I see.
27:56You know how I found out about what really happened to Mom?
28:01Some girl at school told me.
28:05Isla Daniels.
28:08She was the worst.
28:16I'm so sorry, Will, that...
28:18I'm not saying that's when you...
28:20You were just a kid, too.
28:26I guess...
28:30Sometimes you think you're protecting someone...
28:34but you don't realize you're just pushing them away.
28:54You're still here.
28:55Of course.
28:58Yeah, we wouldn't leave without making sure you're okay, Heidi.
29:01You know that, right?
29:06I am...
29:08so not okay.
29:12It's just, uh...
29:16I don't know how to stop.
29:21It's okay.
29:21I think...
29:24I don't know.
29:25Um...
29:26I need help or something, I guess.
29:29It's okay.
29:31We can do that.
29:32Whatever you need, Heidi, we can figure it out.
29:34Together.
29:37Right, Will?
30:00You better have a damn good reason for coming to my home, Lieutenant.
30:03I do, Chief.
30:03I assume Captain Williams told you I got my hands on your disciplinary file.
30:09I've gone over every inch of the case.
30:11There's only three people who could have stolen that watch.
30:14My father, Captain Williams, and you.
30:17Listen here, Lieutenant.
30:18What if I told you I had clear photographic evidence
30:21that definitively ruled out I was one of those people?
31:00Hey!
31:01Hey, how's Heidi?
31:02She's okay.
31:03They are keeping her overnight so she can detox and, um, so they can all figure out next steps.
31:08But supposedly she's breathing well and all of her vitals are stable.
31:11Oh, good.
31:12Good.
31:12And, uh, Novak's in there with her?
31:14Yeah.
31:15I'm sure she'll be really glad that you came.
31:17Yeah.
31:18I mean, geez, after everything she's been through, now this.
31:22Yeah.
31:23But she's tough as nails, you know?
31:25She can handle a lot.
31:27No, yeah.
31:28You're right, you're right.
31:29Yeah.
31:33What?
31:36What?
31:37Nothing.
31:38I was just thinking that, um, Lizzie is a really amazing person.
31:45Hmm.
31:47Yeah, she is.
31:54Sorry to make you wait, Andre.
31:56That was my son's school.
31:59What's going on?
32:00Severod came to see me at home.
32:03Damn.
32:04The guy is relentless.
32:07He showed me something I thought you'd find interesting.
32:11This is an insurance photo I take out?
32:16See that right there?
32:20The missing watch box left the residue on the table from when the sprinklers activated
32:25and doused the whole space.
32:27And?
32:28That means it was still there when the sprinklers turned on.
32:31Right.
32:31I'm still not following.
32:33The watch was stolen after the sprinklers were triggered.
32:41Benny was MIA for 98 seconds.
32:44Plenty of time for him to have done it, right?
32:47Except that 98-second window was before the sprinklers went on.
32:52By the time they went on, he was out front calling out Engine 24's arrival.
32:58Benny Severod couldn't have done it.
33:04I'm not sure what you're implying, but...
33:06You said you were right behind me the whole time.
33:09I was.
33:10You know I was, Andre.
33:11You said you dropped to your knees because you maxed malfunction after the sprinklers went on.
33:17That's why I lost track of you for a minute.
33:21And I believed you because we were partners.
33:29After all they put the two of us through at Benny's firehouse, the hazing, the freezing us out,
33:37I guess I thought I deserved something for it.
33:41But I never meant for it to fall on you.
33:44But it did, Gene.
33:47You hung me out to dry.
33:50You derailed my career.
33:53You did that.
33:54Not Benny Severod.
34:21Williams, cop to it.
34:25I have requested your internal review be terminated immediately.
34:28Knowing what I know now, should have never been started in the first place.
34:36With all due respect, Chief, the facts of a 30-year-old case should have never been relevant,
34:41no matter what they were.
34:44You're not wrong.
34:46But I meant what I know about you now, Captain.
34:50I made some big assumptions about you, about who you were.
34:55My judgment was clouded.
34:58And that's on me.
35:06My father may have never been a thief, but he was a difficult person.
35:11No one knows that better than me.
35:14A man could put people through hell.
35:17True.
35:19But he also made me tougher.
35:21Showed me how bad I wanted this life.
35:24I suspect he did the same for you.
35:29I'll be back at working out of my old office at 20 next shift.
35:47Yeah.
35:48Yeah, yeah.
35:50Hey.
35:51How's she doing?
35:51Hey.
35:52She's, she's okay.
35:53Yeah?
35:53They're keeping her another night, so I was going to head home to shower and change and
35:57catch a nap before coming back to pick her up.
36:01Will's going to come too.
36:02Really?
36:03Yeah, he's going to stay in the city for a couple of days.
36:05Oh, good.
36:07How long have you been here?
36:09Oh, not long.
36:09Um, nice try.
36:11Um, I don't know if you can tell from his little trash pile, but he's been loitering here for
36:15hours.
36:16Well, thank you for being here.
36:19Yeah.
36:20Both of you.
36:21Of course.
36:24I am going to clean that up.
36:25Oh, thanks.
36:33Hey, you, you really didn't have to come.
36:37I know.
36:43You all ready?
36:44Uh, yeah.
36:49I don't know.
36:50I said that Hopkins is still running the house.
36:52He's just not working out at 51 anymore.
36:54Well, hopefully that means that things will finally get back to normal around here.
36:58You think Lucy goes with him?
37:00I'd say ask her yourself, but I'm not sure she's coming in.
37:04Now that you mention it, I didn't see her when I clocked out this morning.
37:12Excuse me.
37:17What's with the sidebar, you keeping a secret?
37:20Nah, I just don't want them hearing me apologize.
37:22Oh, come on, Madge.
37:24You don't have to do this.
37:26I was pushing.
37:27No, you were trying to help.
37:30As per usual.
37:34After that crash yesterday, when you saved our asses,
37:39I walked away feeling something wasn't right.
37:43Couldn't put my finger on it until you stormed off.
37:47And that's when it hit me.
37:50You were wrong.
37:52Is this you still being sorry?
37:55You said the problem with my book was it needs more mouch,
38:01but that's not all it was missing.
38:04This book, it shouldn't be a memoir,
38:08because I didn't get here alone.
38:12Someone's always had my back.
38:15Yeah.
38:21Brothers in Arms,
38:23the story of a friendship forged in fire.
38:27I wouldn't be lieutenant if it weren't for your sacrifice.
38:31Hell, I'd probably be home pining for the good old days.
38:36The point is,
38:38this isn't my story.
38:40It's ours.
38:44Come on, Mouch.
38:45You don't have to do that.
38:47I do.
38:49And don't worry.
38:51I'll make sure you look good.
38:54Boy, that's the easy part.
38:56See, honestly, what I'm worried about
38:58is you having to share the spotlight
39:01with a natural hero type like me.
39:06I think I'll manage.
39:11How's Isaiah's mom doing?
39:13Better.
39:14Sounds like things are moving in the right direction.
39:17Stella's heading back tomorrow.
39:19Well, you two have a lot to catch up on, I bet.
39:25I have to admit,
39:27I wasn't sure how this whole Hopkins thing was going to play out.
39:30I figured the odds of you digging up something useful
39:32out of that dusty old file were pretty slim.
39:35Thanks for keeping that to yourself the other day.
39:37Yeah, well,
39:38after all these years,
39:39I should have known you'd go ahead
39:40and solve the whole damn thing.
39:42Well, I had plenty of help from Cruz.
39:46I'm just glad 51's no longer in anyone's crosshairs.
39:51Listen, Kelly.
39:55I know this is a complicated subject
39:57for reasons that go way back,
39:59which is why I've never pushed you on it.
40:02What?
40:03Hargrave's idea
40:04for you to take over OFI.
40:06And that wasn't just about your internal review.
40:09She's leaving.
40:11That office is yours if you want it.
40:15If you'd asked me a few years ago,
40:17I might have felt differently.
40:18I mean, I've always known
40:19that you were meant to be at OFI.
40:21It's in your blood.
40:22That much is obvious.
40:23But it's more than that.
40:25The last couple years,
40:27the leader you've become,
40:29the leadership you've shown
40:30through this Hopkins thing,
40:32the way I've seen you fight,
40:34not just for yourself,
40:35for your whole firehouse,
40:38that's just the kind of leadership
40:39that OFI needs right now.
40:44I really hope you'll consider it.
40:48Hmm.
