Original subtitles

Chili's gonna be our new paramedic-in-charge on Ambulance 61.

I'm developing a new product for the adult beverage market. Chilleeze.

You got something here, kid.

You do construction, great. You flirt with the girls, I don't give a damn.

But don't come looking for me back there.

Do me a favor, Jack. Piss off.

Did you notice anything about Rice in that last fire?

He was running out when everyone else was running in.

You've been spreading rumors about Rice since the first day he set foot in this house.

Severide, look... I hear it again, we're gonna have a problem.

Wow. Look at that hustle.

First shift always leaves this thing a mess, so.

Oh, great. Glad you're here, I wanted to talk to you.

Yeah, what's up?

Um,

everything okay here?

Sure, yeah. Can't tell you how grateful I am.

I mean, being back to work fulltime is a little tricky with Logan,

but, yeah, he's adjusting.

Hey. Check this out.

He wrote a list of things he wants to do for his fifth birthday.

Regular stuff, you know, Navy Pier, LEGO Store,

but, uh, look at what he wrote up top there.

Okay. "Go to Benihana with Uncle Kelly."

He always talks about that time we took him there.

You guys cooking in from of him.

Yeah.

Hey. Benihana it is.

All right.

I've always wanted to try that stuff.

Look at that color. I can see why they call it nectar of the gods.

We gotta taste it, right?

Drinking on shift, Cruz? Great idea.

Not drinking tasting. One drop.

One drop each.

Well, then there's the issue of it not belonging to us.

Hey, better to ask forgiveness than permission, am I right?

Hey. Is that Olde Rumpelstiltskin twenty?

Yeah, huh. Who brought that in?

Um. It's for you, actually.

Um, it's from Jack Nesbitt, says "many apologies."

That the strip club guy?

What happened?

Difference of opinion. I'm done with Stilettos.

Hm. Ha-ha!

That shower was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.

Who was in there with you?

The true love of my life hot water.

None at home?

Uh, no, it got turned off. I didn't pay my bill on time.

Chilleez is soaking up all my funds.

Hey, if you're not a risk taker, you should get the hell out of business, right?

Um, hey if you need to borrow some.

No! No way. I got this.

So I look it up, and actually by law, it turns out

that bourbon has to be at least 51 percent corn.

Now the rest of it can be rye or barley.

Hey Otis, I need to change out a blade.

Sure, hang on.

Now in wheated bourbons, wheat replaces the rye. Or the barley.

Hey guys, we just got a new shipment of air bags in,

let's roll 'em out, give 'em a try.

Come on.

Whoops.

Ah, Lieutenant, Sergeant Voight is on the phone for you.

What does he want?

He didn't say.

Ambulance 61, Truck 81.

Tell Voight to go fu...

Ah. I got you.

River Road and 23rd.

My brother he went over the edge! He's not moving!

What's his name?

Justin.

Justin! Can you hear me, Justin?

Lotta blood.

He's nonresponsive. How far is Squad?

Mile or two away.

I don't think we can wait, Chief. Let us rope down there, use our rigging.

Do it. Squad 3 hold off. 81's gonna rope down to the victim.

Chief, we're gonna be there in no time. Tell Casey to sit tight.

Negative, Squad. He could be bleeding out. No time to wait. 81's got this one.

A rope rescue, and Truck has it?

You want me to head back to quarters?

No, screw that, keep going.

Okay, slow. Nice and easy.

He's breathing! Left pupil's blown,

possible back and neck injury. Gash on his forehead.

Let's buckle him up.

Hey Chief.

Told you to stand by, Squad.

We were a block away.

Okay! Bring 'em up!

Pull her up.

Stop pulling!

Whoa!

Hey, got it, we got it! Back off!

We're good.

Okay, bring 'em up!

He's up.

Whoa!

Set him on the guard rail. I'll get him off line.

Okay.

All right. He has a head injury, we need to Trauma bypass.

What's with the attitude from Truck?

They got here first, got a little souped up.

I don't know. I mean the way lines are blurred between Truck and Squad around here,

no one would guess that Squad 3 is one of the elite

firefighting units in this whole city.

I mean hell, those guys don't even respect

the sanctity of the Squad table.

Okay, kiddo. I'm here to Captain this ship right to the sea of success.

Let's talk about "next steps."

Okay great! Uh, I had a friend, he's an artist, he drew up some sketches

for the uh, Chilleez logo.

This guy's an artist like a real one?

Yeah he can draw.

Sort of.

Chili, this is real amateur hour stuff. All right.

You need to have a proper mock up. You gotta hire a professional.

Yeah I know, I was just trying to save myself a couple thousand dollars.

You can't put a price on success.

Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Cap'n.

Otis.

Hey, what's up.

Whatever your feelings about Scott Rice, he's not just a good friend of mine,

he's a highly trained member of Rescue Squad.

You need to treat him with some respect.

You got it?

Yeah. Got it.

Good. That goes for everyone else on Truck.

And don't sit at the damn Squad table.

Anything you two want to tell me?

Okay. Let's go.

Outside.

Rice's mask malfunctions once and you decide he's a ducker.

Because I couldn't find anything wrong with his regulator!

Which begs the question, why are you snooping around his gear?

Look, it's not just the mask, Casey. There's also the time he went back

for his Denver bar.

Oh, right, yeah, I almost forgot the Denver bar. That clinches it.

Lieutenant, I, I don't think we're overreacting here. What I do think

is Severide is being blinded by his friendship with that guy.

You guys can't go around talking smack about a member of Severide's team and

not expect him to tear you a new one.

I don't want to hear another word, got it?

We got it, Lieutenant.

Casey, Sergeant Voight wants to talk to you.

Not interested. Tell him to stop calling.

He's not on the phone this time.

You got 30 seconds.

Listen. Your buddy over at the strip club, Jack Nesbitt. He's into some nasty business.

We need a man on the inside.

I think you could be that man.

Sorry, I'm out of the Nesbitt business. I'm not going back.

Casey.

I'm sure as hell not in the Voight business. Never will be.

Whatever I said, it was in jest.

We need to talk to you about Chili.

Did you know she's put every penny she's got into this Chilleez idea?

Look she respects you, so we were hoping, maybe instead of letting her

put all her money into that new logo, you could get her to slow down.

"Slow down"? You think that's the advice Mark Cuban gives his contestants on

Shark Tank?

I literally have no idea, but... You think Sir Richard Branson

says every morning, "Oh, I better slow down"?

The answer is no, he says "how much faster can I go?"

Chili is not a billionaire, Herrmann.

And neither were those two before they struck gold!

Do you have any idea who Chili reminds me of?

A young Christopher Herrmann.

Big ideas, bright horizons. The last thing I'm gonna do is stand in that kid's way.

Sorry guys, one sec. Hey. Antonio, can I hit you back in a few?

'Course, yeah, what's wrong?

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Um. I just got off the phone with Antonio.

He told me the guy, uh, Nesbitt, who you used to work for, is pretty bad news.

Yeah.

I talked to Voight about this.

I'm coming to you on behalf of Antonio. Not Voight.

Look,

I know some of these clubs get shady with the books, but I didn't...

They're trafficking girls, Matt.

Jack Nesbitt?

He works under a ring of guys who are smuggling in young women from

Eastern Europe and they funnel them in to work at the club, force them into prostitution.

Damn it.

Antonio says that they're really slick. CPD can't even get close enough to

gather any intel.

But what they hear is that Nesbitt trusts you.

Antonio knows it's a big ask, especially considering your history with Voight.

But right now, you're their best shot.

I'm gonna say hook shot.

Right here.

Whoa.

Come on, Mouch.

Aww. That's an "R" for Mouch!

Watch it. Hey, you guys mind? We're doing drills over here.

Yeah guys there's serious men doing serious work over there.

All right Capp, watch... Watch the victim's head.

Tony, you got his body weight.

Aww, how perfect is it that Rice is playing the dead weight right now?

Man, those guys are askin' for it.

The hell with them. They just don't like being low men on the totem pole.

I mean, you gotta give 'em some props though.

Squad? They train hard, every now and then, they do a badass rescue.

I just wish they weren't so cocky about it.

Ha.

Hey. What's up, Captain?

I think I got an idea to get people excited about this Chilleez thing.

Yeah?

I'm thinking crowd funding.

You mean like getting other people to chip in money?

Yeah. Diversity in start-up money's always a good thing.

Uh...

All right, look, all you gotta do is bring together a bunch of potential investors,

you ask 'em for small donations, then you just gotta figure out

some simple rewards system for incentive.

They get the payback when this

thing goes big. Which it will.

Okay, so like I'll send out mailers and do like a friends-and-family thing?

Well, how about you put out an appeal to your pals here at 51?

You could have a fundraiser at Molly's.

What, really?

Yeah, sure! I can help you put it together.

Okay. You've really got a gift for this stuff.

I know! I know. Hey. You all better show up.

Hey, Chief.

Is everything okay?

Uh, it will be, I'm sure.

But everything is not okay now?

They're big boys, they'll figure it out.

Who?

I was asking about your new partner.

Of course. Yeah, she's great. It's a really good fit. Thanks for asking.

What were you talking about?

Nothing.

- Ambulance 61. Person down. - 9633 North Cleveland Avenue.

Baptism, funeral or...

Wedding.

Over here! We were in the middle of the wedding when all

of a sudden she dropped like a lead balloon. This way.

Hurry up!

We can't tell if she's breathing.

Is she dead?

You gotta get her up. We didn't even finish the vows!

Groomzilla, there's a very sick woman here. Can you calm the hell down?

Can anyone describe the pastor's condition before she lost consciousness?

She looked a little confused. Like, forgetting what she was gonna say.

Dad, you were talking with her just before.

She said she had a headache, so I gave her a couple aspirin.

Can I see what you gave her, sir?

'Course, yeah.

Do you have high blood pressure, sir?

Yeah, I do. How'd you know that?

I think he gave her blood pressure medication.

Oh my god.

Hypovolemic shock, it's consistent with the symptoms. I'm gonna get a line going.

Okay.

All right, bolus is ready.

Got it. Run it wide open.

Oh. Oh. I'm so sorry.

Thank God!

All right. I'm sorry guys, the wedding's still on hold.

We need to get the pastor to the hospital to get checked out. It won't take long.

Whatever you think is best.

Oh.

Ah.

Easy.

"Groomzilla." Good one.

Thanks. Hey, you did that bride a favor. Now she has a few days to reconsider.

Amen.

You gonna run a load or you just here to keep an eye on me?

Look, we both know what's going on.

What I know is I'm new guy so I'm just hanging back,

letting my lieutenant deal with this.

Once that's run its course, if we still got a problem,

you and me are gonna take a walk, we're gonna figure this out.

Connie said you wanted to see me, Chief?

Yeah, come on in.

Close the door.

Okay. What is going on in my firehouse?

Is there some kind of problem with Scott Rice?

The only person who's got a problem with Scott Rice is Otis,

and it's a total load.

Specifically?

It's not worth repeating.

I agree. And I've already talked to Otis about it.

Yeah, well now you're talking to me. What is the accusation?

There's a bogus claim that Rice ducked on a call.

If it's bogus, why hasn't it been put to rest?

That's what I wanna know.

Okay, the two of you. Get this situation under control. Understood?

On it, Chief.

You gonna talk to your guys?

I will, yeah. But right now I gotta go deal with Jack Nesbitt.

Your... Your side business is more important than this?

Actually, yeah, it is.

Sergeant, old friend of yours is here.

Thanks for coming.

You win. What do you need from me?

How long you work for Nesbitt?

Little over a month, I guess.

Doing what?

Expanding his club.

You see anything shady in your time over there?

It's a strip club.

These guys traffic eastern European women against their will across

the Canadian border, through an Indian reservation.

They force them into work. It's a kind of indentured servitude.

Like dancing at Stilettos?

Yeah, if they're lucky.

Point is, Nesbitt's almost certainly involved in some capacity. I mean maybe

he's only laundering the gang's money through his club,

but he could be in much deeper.

Now Casey, these women are being held against their will.

Now most of them have a sister or a mother back home who's under threat from the gang.

I get the general concept.

Just tell me how I can help.

All right first step, go to Nesbitt and get your job back.

We'll figure it out from there.

Olde Rumpelstiltskin twenty. Only the best, huh?

Always.

Two scotches, on the rocks.

Thanks.

Are you buying me a drink in my own place?

Listen, Jack if we don't get in each other's faces I think we'll work

together just fine.

Sounds more than fair. You passed the integrity test, Matt.

An honest man is hard to come by in this town.

Can't argue with that.

Welcome back. Friday night, I'm hosting an event. The investors want you there.

Can you make it?

Friday?

Yeah. Sure.

Katya!

Show Matt a good time, will you?

Of course.

I knew you'd be back.

Really? I wasn't so sure.

What's this "event" on Friday?

Oh it's just a little thing we do from time to time,

to show off the new girls.

I'm glad you're back, Matt. You and me,

we can look out for each other. That sound okay?

Yeah.

Okay. So the SEC has a lot of really boring rules

about what constitutes as an investment for, um, a private business.

So, technically, I can't really solicit investments and you guys wouldn't

be considered investors, you'd be backers. And the good news is,

is that backers get rewards!

Yeah do you wanna hear what the rewards are?

Yeah.

Okay! So, for ten dollars or more, you'll receive a six-pack of the inaugural

run of Chilleez champagne.

Wait. How many?

Hey guys actually, you know what? Could you maybe tighten up the ranks

a little bit, so I don't have to yell at you?

Yeah, come on up, don't be shy. We've got plenty of room up here.

Come on! Slide up.

Oh, uh, sorry you know this is a Truck table.

No Squad allowed. I'm sure you guys understand.

When did you get so mouthy?

You know what, I think it was right around the time I was accused of

being a whiny gossip, when the fact of the matter is, I'm right.

Rice is a ducker.

Whoa!

Hey! Guys! Guys.

Why don't you stand up, huh?

See man I told you once, you need to shut your mouth.

You don't get a second warning.

You keep sticking your head in the sand. Rice was ducking and no one

on Squad gives a crap!

Hey, hey, hey!

Knock it off.

You know what? There's plenty other places in this town to grab a drink.

Yeah, there are.

You better watch yourself, Otis.

Hey, enough with the sideshow.

All right, let's go, come on. Back to the main event. All right

so listen, Chili, you were saying about the rewards and...

It's okay, let's just forget it.

Nah come on, are you sure?

It's fine, I'll just do it at the firehouse again sometime.

Really?

I'll be here early so stop by the district on your way to work,

we can go over the details.

Are you out of your mind? Did you really take a swing at Otis?

I tried to. I might try again. You need to get your guys in line.

Maybe my guys aren't the problem.

The hell they're not.

Before your buddy Rice got here, Otis and Cruz

were just as much family to you as Capp and Tony.

I know Rice. He's not a ducker.

You better be damn sure.

Yeah and you better keep Truck on their side of the fence.

Oh, that's always a great move, drawing lines between Truck and Squad.

Like when you decided that Squad doesn't vent right

before Darden went up in flames.

Did you really just say that?

I'm just trying to make the point that... No, I got the point.

Loud and clear.

Yeah, all I'm saying is, you've made your point.

But now, it is time to drop it.

What, and pretend I didn't see what I saw?

No, of course not. But, the bottom line is, we all gotta live together.

What if it happens again?

Severide needs to take a hard look at Rice, instead of coming at me

with this fist cocked.

Severide's just doing his job as Rice's Lieutenant, standing up for his guy.

Yeah. Well, who's gonna stand up for me?

Hey, I am. I got your back a hundred percent. We all have your back.

That's not in question, but...

Hey, Connie, what's up?

Chief Boden is looking for Otis.

You looking for me, Chief?

Yeah, come on in. Close the door and have a seat.

What's up?

I hear you still have a problem with Scott Rice.

I think he's a danger to this firehouse, yeah. Chief,

twice I saw him back out of a call when things got hairy.

So-called "equipment issues" both times.

Do you have proof they weren't real issues?

No. It is a gut feeling.

Okay.

Is there anything else going on with you that I need to be made aware of, Brian?

You fed up being stuck on elevator duty for the last seven years?

Tired of the grind of shift work?

Do you need to take a furlough?

No, sir. I'm very happy here at 51.

Then I suggest you stop shooting off your mouth.

Lieutenant Severide is responsible

for supervising the men under his command and I intend to let him do so.

Now can you handle that or not?

I can, sir.

Get back to work.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

How you doing?

Great.

Yeah?

Yeah. I'm ready for another one, just Truck and friends only this time.

Maybe, we hold off on it a little while.

Hold off?

I know that you think I'm an overnight success, but the truth is,

I took a lot of real big hits before I got Molly's up and running.

I lost my shirt more than a of couple times.

Are you abandoning ship, Captain?

I don't want to see you hurt, that's all.

Okay. All right. I totally get it.

But just so you know, I'm all in on this thing, whether you're helping or not.

I admire your stick-to- itiveness, but...

I'm not giving up, Herrmann.

Hey thanks for all your help. Nobody's supported me like that since my dad died.

This whole Chilleez thing was his idea.

You know the funny thing is, is you actually...

You remind me of him.

It meant a lot, you looking out.

Hey, um, Rice. I've been meaning to ask, are you still using that loaner or

did you get your mask back from the shop?

Uh, no. Got mine. Jerry at Air-Mask said it was just a faulty gauge,

fixed it up good as new.

Glad to hear it.

Truck 81, Squad Three, Ambo 61, car fire.

Hey! This guy needs some help!

Anybody else in that vehicle?

It's just him!

Okay, Truck, help 51 get a line on that fire.

You two, help with the victim. Get the line from Engine, bring her up.

Squad, stabilize that vehicle. Turn that ambo around and back her up here.

Yeah, copy.

Now give the medics room to work, please.

Come on, back up people, let's go. Back it up. Back it up.

Miss, you need to hop out. Everybody stand on the side. Because I said so!

Back up, guys! Back up.

Capp, get the chalk.

Got it.

One, two, three.

Get a line on that truck!

It's moving!

Chief!

Look out! Truck's rolling!

Oh god.

Everybody move now!

Come on.

Severide!

Damn.

Hell.

Okay, let's get some water on it.

I thought we were almost roadkill.

Yeah. Thanks for letting us keep our guts on the inside.

Here comes the water!

Hey, what you making?

Cheese toast. My specialty.

Little light on the cheese.

My kids say the same damn thing.

Hey so, I just hope you know, I ain't mad at ya.

I'm glad to hear it.

'Cause I've been thinking about it again.

Uh-oh.

If you're gonna keep going, so am I.

You steer, and I'll be your category five at your back.

But you gotta promise me one thing.

What?

No more using your own money on Chilleez, all right? I spoke with Cindy

about this, and we're gonna give you a personal, no-interest loan from

the Molly's fund. That's how much I believe in this thing.

Wow. Um, I can't accept that.

Hey.

You can and you will. And here's what you can give me in return.

Nothin' more than a chance to get in on

the ground floor when this thing's up and running.

Herrmann! You're the man.

You're a good kid.

Thank you.

Hey. How's, uh, everything going with the case?

So far, so good.

Man, this sucks. Just knowing that you're maybe in a,

in a bad situation, and I had something to do with putting you there.

Gabby, don't worry. I'm glad you came to me.

It's gonna be fine.

Well Antonio knows that I will kill him if he lets anything bad happen to you, so.

Oh yeah?

Yeah. I can't help it.

Just swear to me you'll be careful?

Cross my heart.

Hey Rice! Hey, hold up a sec.

Hey, what's up?

I just want to make sure this doesn't unsaid...

If you ever need to talk to me about anything, anything at all, you know you can, right?

Sure, yeah, I know. Like what?

Anything.

What's going on, Kelly?

It's my duty as your officer to check in, make sure you're all right.

You got a question, spit it out.

Okay. I need you to look me in the eye and tell me that your

mask malfunctioned on that call.

That you weren't just bailing when things got tough.

I swear to you, man to man, that my mask was not working.

Okay. Good. I had to ask.

Sure, yeah, no I get it. You're in a tough spot,

trying to be my friend as well as my lieutenant.

Let me make it easy on you.

From now on, just worry about being my lieutenant.

Scott.

So it looks like a regular cell phone, right?

Except inside, behind the battery, listening device.

When you press the volume button all

the way up, that's recording high quality audio.

It's got a built-in microphone, totally self-contained, no wires.

So, I won't be asking you to shave your chest. You can go ahead, if you want,

just don't do it on my account.

How do I turn on the screen?

Same as a regular phone.

Look, if you don't like it, you can go with the key fob.

You tap that button twice, it starts recording. Pretty, uh, unobtrusive.

Shouldn't it have a logo on it? Ford or something? This looks pretty fake.

You're over-thinking this, Casey.

That's easy for you to say. It's not your ass on the line.

I'll take the phone, just tell me what you need me to do.

All right. We think Nesbitt's bringing in a new

shipment of women and he's gonna trot 'em out at this party.

We want you to engage Nesbitt and his friends. Try to get him talking specifics

about the operation. Names of anyone involved, how the girls are smuggled in,

how the money's laundered.

And how am I supposed to get these scumbags to talk to a contractor

they barely know?

Well, you're close with a girl over there, right? You could use her.

One thing I don't get. There are hundreds of contractors in Chicago.

Why is Nesbitt so interested in me?

You probably make him feel comfortable. You're a fellow firefighter, trustworthy.

Look maybe he's using you as a front.

Yeah. Or a patsy.

Anything's possible. Look you don't have to worry. We got your back.

You better.

Matt Casey.

Jack. How are you?

Good, Matt. You?

Yeah. Guys. So, uh, what's going on?

Come on over, have a seat. Come on. Please. First thing's first.

What's this?

I'm sorry, Matt. I guess it's, uh, standard procedure.

Please.

Wait, let me see your phone.

What for?

Let me see it.
