Original subtitles

STELLA: The girl could've died.

You gave her a chance.

BLAKE GALLO: I'm gonna keep checking in.

Did you reach out to your birth mom?

| picked up the phone a few times.

/ just think it's better if we speak in person.

I'm looking for Julie?

There's nobody here by that name.

| was just 16 when you were born.

Just know how much ! want you in our lives.

In whatever way works for you.

You're up early.

If | don't get to the coffee maker first,

you'll put that hazelnut stuff in.

Hey, hazelnuts are a delicacy in some places.

Actually, | just need to get a jump

on some paperwork at the Firehouse.

see you there.

Have fun.

DOOR OPENS

Morning. DOOR CLOSES

Hey, you know how we had

to keep quiet last night,

so, we didn't wake up Casey?

VMimm-hmm.

He left?

Time to wake up the rest of the building.

JULIE: | wanted to say I'm sorry, again,

for the way Scott acted when you came looking for me.

It must've been a shock to him. | get it.

| think Scott's finally come to terms with the fact

that there are things in life outside of his control.

But, hey, | want

to learn more about you.

Oh. Uh... SIGHS

Like, what's your favorite movie?

| must have watched La La Land 100 times...

Oh, | loved La La Land. Until it got sad.

Oh, same. | turn it off when they break up.

Well, they should've ended up together!

Totally!

BOTH LAUGHING

What about your favorite foods?

Do you really want to know what kinds of food | like?

oylvie,

| want to know everything.

And let's get the tools and the equipment

inspections started first thing.

There's been too much dawdling

in the morning and I'm tired of it.

And when the apparatus floor is cleaned today,

let's actually put some effort in.

There's dust in every damn corner.

Medic, I'm talking to you, too.

sorry, Chief, just going over the new checklist of supplies...

Do that after morning meeting, understand?

Everything all right, Chief?

What's that supposed to mean?

You seem a little on edge, that's all.

Donna's got me on some damn diet.

ALL EXCLAIM

We're all dead by shift's end.

Donna wants you to lose weight?

Do | look like | need to lose weight?

‘Course not, Chief, but that is what diets are for, sometimes.

Look, my last check-up,

my cholesterol numbers are high.

Now, I'm following something

Donna found on the Internet called "The Surplus Diet."

Oh, | read about that. Surplus of fiber, no fat.

A surplus of starvation is more like it.

This may be the week | hand off cooking duties.

Not to me, you don't.

Yeah, it’s your turn. No. Your culinary skills...

ALARM BUZZING

DISPATCHER: ON PA Ambulance 67, Truck 81, Squad 3.

Vehicle accident, Lakeshore and Schiller.

SIRENS WAILING

Anyone inside?

| don't know. No one saw it happen.

These folks spotted the broken guard rail when they passed by earlier,

and then on their way back, they noticed the car.

So, this didn't just happen?

No, that car's been in the water at least 40 minutes.

All hands on deck. Let's move!

SEVERIDE: Okay, Squad. Rig up the chain to the end of a pike pole...

CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY

You're good.

Good? Yep.

GRUNTING

Got it. MAN: We're good.

Kidd...

That's good.

All right, everyone on this side!

Good to go!

OVER RADIO Okay, Kidd, nice and steady.

All yours, Squad.

GRUNTING DOOR HANDLE RATTLING

SEVERIDE: Cruz. Strike. Strike.

Where's the driver?

Check the footwells, check the backseat...

Nothing?

That window's busted. Maybe he swam out.

Cruz, help me suit up. CRUZ: Copy.

Can't let you go in, Severide. It's too dangerous.

We don't have a choice!

Severide, | said, "No."

They've been in the water too long. It's not worth the risk.

Cold water can preserve a drowning victim, you know that.

It's been 40 minutes at least and maybe a lot longer.

This isn't a rescue. It's a recovery. Let the police divers handle it.

Stand down! That's an order!

If that victim has any hope,

you're gonna make them wait for police divers?

| said it's a recovery.

I'm not sending you into dangerous waters to retrieve a corpse.

Pack up the gear, guys.

You need to call in your boat and recovery divers.

Tell ‘em they've got a few hundred yards of shoreline to search.

Copy that. Looks like our victim is female.

Lisa Burke, 38 years old.

We'll send someone over to her address,

see if she’s got any next of kin.

Damn It.

GRUNTS

MOUCH: The first thing you do is,

you take it, and you lay it flat, right?

Then just hold the sides up and you just let it collapse.

SIGHS They'll never talk about what happened

back there, will they?

No, they'll let all that tension

sit between them, unresolved.

Dudes.

Lily! Hi.

ALL: Hey!

CRUZ GRUNTS

Oh, it's so good to see you guys.

Girl, you have been missed.

FOSTER: A lot.

It's been way too long.

| Know... | just... I'm sorry,

things have been busy, but it is so nice to be here.

Uh, is Herrmann around?

I'm actually here to run something by him.

Yeah, he's inside.

Come on in, we'll get you some hot coffee.

Oh, | would love that, thank you.

Hey. Hey.

Are you okay?

| can't shake this one.

Talk to me.

What if she was still nearby,

just under the surface, by some fluke?

| could have given Severide a few minutes to make sure.

Yeah. And, if he didn't find anything right away, he'd keep searching,

going further out, a lone diver in rough, icy water.

Her name was Lisa Burke.

The kind of person that smiles for her DMV photo.

Matt, you weighed the variables and you made a decision.

That's what makes you a good captain.

The fact that you beat yourself up about it afterwards,

is what makes you a good person.

Thanks.

You wanna see something?

CHUCKLES

Julie gave them to me this morning. Taken on the day | was born.

Okay, that's pretty cute. LAUGHS

It's so strange, seeing myself in the arms of this teenager.

How's it going with her?

It's good. It's really good.

But | don't want to get too close.

she's starting this whole new chapter of her life

with this baby on the way,

and | can't help but feel like she's just gonna disappear again.

Brings up some old feelings | don't really want to remember.

Is that silly?

Not at all.

How you been, kid?

Okay, | guess. Ups and downs.

That memorial out front, it's really beautiful.

Yeah.

|! came to visit a few times, in the fall, just never when you guys were on shift.

I've been a little overwhelmed by everything.

Yeah. I'm just glad you're here, now.

Me, too. CHUCKLES

Herrmann, | feel like | owe you an apology,

for giving up Molly's North...

Hey...

You do not have to apologize for anything, okay?

| mean it.

| Knew you were gonna say that, but | still wanted to explain.

So much there reminded me of Brian,

| felt like I'd never be able to breathe right, you know?

The thing is, | miss running a business

and connecting with customers, it's in my blood.

| want to open a new place, a bakery/coffee shop is what I'm thinking.

That sounds great.

| found a location that would be perfect for it.

But | need help.

And you are the smartest business owner | know, so...

Yes! CHUCKLES Yes. You've taken Molly's to such great success,

and you know all the ins and outs of this crazy process...

Look, I'm sure you're busy,

between the firehouse, and the bar, and your family, so...

I'm in.

Really?

One-hundred percent. | would love to help.

Oh, my God, thank you so much. You are the best!

SIGHS

Okay, look, there's healthy, and then there's this.

What do | do with it? | don't Know.

Okay, you got us into this mess, so, figure it out.

What? I'm not the cook, you are!

What's going on?

Mister Suck-Up here

offered to make Chief Boden separate meals...

Whoa. What was | supposed to do?

He was standing here all cranky,

yelling about this stuff that Donna dropped off.

| don't even know what these are!

They're flaxseeds, | told you!

See? That doesn't help me at all.

Okay, this is ridiculous.

We can't live under this tyranny.

I'll talk to the Chief when he gets back from the district meeting.

What... No... Are you sure that's such a good...

Lisa Burke?

You're alive.

You can take a seat in here.

Um, | wasn't driving the car.

That was Gary... Gary Pavone. My fiance.

He borrowed it this morning, and it's the last | saw him.

| just need to know what happened.

The police haven't contacted you?

An officer came by, but he wasn't on the scene,

didn't have a lot of information.

He said your firehouse was there?

That's right.

It seems like your fiance lost control and went through a guard rail.

When we dragged the car out, there was no one inside.

A window was broken,

which suggests he may have ended up in the water.

But you looked for him?

We didn't conduct a search.

SIGHS

We... | determined that

the chance he'd survived was too slim to put my men at risk.

So, we called in police divers to look for his body.

I'm very sorry about your fiancé.

How big an area will they search?

Pretty big, I'd guess.

They'll establish a search grid based on currents,

and they have something called side-scan sonar...

What happens if they don't find him?

| don't know what you mean.

Do they still declare him dead?

HESITATES Uh, well...

Legal presumption of death is possible,

but it usually takes a while.

Okay, well, thank you, Captain.

Of course.

CASEY: So, check this out.

The owner of that Nissan just walked into the firehouse.

Her fiance had been using the car.

Here's the weird part. | figured she'd be distraught.

Instead, she was more concerned that his body didn't show up.

Almost disappointed.

That's creepy. Right? Where you off to?

Take Squad out, run some drills.

What do you think, should | tell the cops about the way she was acting?

Something's off.

So, | should tell them?

It's your call.

Chief, | say this with all due respect...

That's debatable.

It's just that this Surplus Diet

seems to be making you a little short-tempered.

Which, in turn, creates conflict and stress in the house.

Your health is very important to all of us.

But maybe, there's a less severe approach to changing your diet?

Sir? You call Donna.

Tell her I've given up after less than a week.

Because if | do it, I'm a dead man.

HESITATES | don't think that's a good idea.

You're damn right, it's not.

lam not a weak man.

| should be able to handle this.

There is one thing that | can think of that might make this a little easier.

So, this is the place that Lily told me about.

It's a real trendy area in Wicker Park.

MOUCH: Nice bones.

That exposed brick, the big windows...

Yeah, so, we're gonna go take a look at it after shift.

Whoa! What?

Did you see the rent?

No way she can afford that.

Which is why she was smart to come to me for help.

Because I'm gonna hammer that number down,

just like | do all our vendors that come over to Molly's.

That's not ringing any bells.

Oh!

Are we still making a bowl of seeds and beans?

Ah! You're a hero.

You're making two bowls of seeds and beans.

What?

Well, diets have a much higher success rate when you have a buddy.

So, | offered.

Don't look at me like that. Listen, I'm doing this for the team, all right?

You should be thanking me!

PETILLO: Captain Casey.

Hey, Petillo, | didn't expect you to come right over.

That was a pretty intriguing message you left about Lisa Burke.

SIGHS Yeah. | don't know if | have anything useful.

Might just be wasting your time.

But first, your search team have any luck?

They were out there for almost six hours, didn't find a thing.

Then one of our divers had a scare, got caught in a rip current.

He's fine. But the team leader called off the search

until conditions improve.

$0, no body?

No, but we're pretty sure there's one out there.

Police techs have been examining the vehicle.

It appears somebody tampered with the throttle.

Pretty sure this wasn't an accident.

lt was murder.

You know, you don't have to eat in here

just ‘cause we're both on this ridiculous diet.

Actually, | do.

‘Cause the smell of bacon in the common room was killing me.

This is reminding me of my deep-water rescue training.

How's that?

The tendency of a drowning victim

to pull their rescuer down with them.

Stop. | offered.

Doesn't mean it was a good idea.

Chief, please.

It's nice to have your back, for once. 'Cause you always have mine.

And the oatmeal isn't that bad.

Yes, it is.

Captain, | think Mouch is ready for a double shift.

Look at all this energy he's still got.

| just want to get home before Donna puts a bug in Trudy's ear

about this Surplus Diet claptrap.

What did you say about me?

What did you tell the police?

"Il catch you guys later. Please, come inside.

Have a seat, Miss Burke.

Suddenly, the police are asking me all these questions.

"Where was | at the time of the accident?

"Can anyone corroborate my account?"

You obviously accused me of something!

No. All | did was tell them that we had a conversation.

But | know you've been through a lot in the last 24 hours,

and I'm sorry if | made things worse for you. Please...

SIGHS This is all so confusing.

Gary lives in Denver.

He's an aviation engineer.

He travels a lot for the airline that he works for,

so, when he's in town, sometimes, he borrows my car.

Okay.

We've only been dating a few months.

SIGHS We met online.

He looks like a nice guy.

He was very sweet to me.

And, | have not been lucky in love.

So, when he proposed, | just

jumped at the chance.

But yesterday, SNIFFLES

| got an overdraft notice from my bank.

When | checked my account, it was empty.

Cleaned out.

And then you found my car in the lake.

They can drain Lake Michigan if they want, but they won't find Gary's body.

Did you explain all this to the police?

You're the first person I've told.

He took everything from me. SNIFFLES

Everything. SOBS

You need to tell them, Lisa.

The police need to know

they aren't searching for a victim in the water.

They're looking for acon artist

who's still at large.

CRYING SOFTLY

You'll find all the specs on here.

I'll just give you two a few minutes to look around.

Awesome, thank you so much.

see, | would put bar stools right here, for counter service,

and | was thinking a big glass display

for cupcakes and pies could go over here.

That would be nice.

Oh! It's perfect, isn't it?

| Know | shouldn't say that in front of a realtor,

but this place has everything | dreamed of.

You can Say it as loud as you want.

Oh, and, look, | came prepared!

Want to measure the kitchen with me?

No. You go ahead.

It's time for Mister Wheeler-Dealer to have a word with our realtor.

All right? Go get 'em, killer!

DEANNE: I'll show him both properties on the Mag Mile.

You know how picky he is.

Come on.

Okay, yeah, I'll call you later.

CALL DISCONNECTS

Great space, isn't it?

Oh, yeah. It's nice enough.

But let's talk turkey. Huh?

Excuse me?

Yeah, Deanne, I've run and owned my own Chicago establishment

for around eight years now,

so, | know what the numbers should look like.

I'm glad to hear it. | appreciate an informed client.

Okay. So, um, after, you know,

comparing this place to the one that I'm in,

| wrote down what | think would be a fair monthly rent.

SCOFFS

Apparently, there are five other offers already on the table.

In my defense, not even Henry Kissinger

could've negotiated with this woman.

That's a shame, but I'm sure Lily will find another place she likes.

| know, but she loved this one.

You should've seen how happy that kid was. Man...

So, | offered to invest in her business.

Give her a little seed money to help with rent,

until she can get it off the ground.

That's real generous of you, Herrmann. | didn't know you had that kind of cash.

This is Lily we're talking about here, Mouch.

The love of Otis’ life. You know?

Of course. | get it.

MUSIC PLAYING

Hey, Kidd. Have you seen Severide?

Oh, what am |, his secretary?

Whoa.

sorry. Ugh, it's this stupid diet.

| think my stomach is digesting itself.

SIGHS You need Kelly for something?

| just wanted to make sure he knew there was never any victim in the lake.

| told him all about that. What, he didn't reach out to you?

Not even a text.

You men are So...

Why can't you just confront each other directly

when you're pissed off about something?

It's childish.

How long are you on this diet?

Two freakin’ weeks. Okay.

lf | survive.

You see who Brett's talking to?

Oh, Matt's here now. Hey.

Hey. Hi.

Matt Casey, this is my birth mom, Julie.

Julie, this is Matt.

Hey. I've been hearing a lot about you. Yeah. Same here.

Actually, we were just discussing the mystery of the car in the lake.

Ah. Yes.

Julie has a good friend that was also scammed by someone

on an online dating app.

Yeah. Bridget.

She met this "doctor" online,

and they started this long-distance text relationship.

He got her to invest her entire savings

into some medical device he claimed he invented.

Ugh. What a jerk. Poor woman.

Yeah. Everybody always feels sorry for the women in these scenarios,

but it's the men who are the losers, trying to build themselves up.

That doctor,

turned out he was just a cashier

who watched a lot of medical dramas on TV.

GROANS

Oh! You all right?

CHUCKLES No, I'm fine.

| swear, this baby sometimes, it's like she's doing Pilates in there.

GROANING

Is it always this bad?

GROANS

| think we should get you looked at.

No, no, no. I'm okay. I'm okay.

| don't know. With a high-risk pregnancy like yours,

I'm afraid there might be something wrong.

GROANING

Matt, my car is down the street.

I'll meet you out front.

Okay. Come on, we're going to the hospital.

Mom's vitals are good, baby's heartbeat is strong,

water's intact, no bleeding.

| think what we're looking at here is a classic case of Braxton-Hicks.

Otherwise known as false labor.

But come back if the contractions return,

and are more severe, or if there's any bleeding.

Oh. | will, absolutely.

Okay.

EXHALES DEEPLY Thanks, Doctor.

This is embarrassing, for a paramedic. I'm so sorry, Julie.

Are you kidding?

Oh, | think it's incredibly sweet that you took it so seriously.

Well, that's my half-sister in there.

Oh... Hey, no, she's kicking.

For real this time. Here. Right here.

CHUCKLES Wow.

il, uh, meet you outside.

He's terrific. How long have you two been dating?

Oh, um...

No. It's not like that. We're just friends.

Okay. If you say so.

Come on. Let's get you out of here.

Matt, you work with Blake Gallo, don't you?

Gallo? Sure, he rides on my truck.

He's a good guy, the way he keeps tabs on that burn victim.

The little girl, from the gas explosion?

Lucy, yeah. She's a long-term patient.

And he's always checking to see if we've brought her out of her coma yet.

Oh. | didn't realize.

Brett sounded shaken up.

I'm just glad everything turned out okay.

The woman shows up out of nowhere,

husband acts like a jerk,

and Brett has her heart wide open,

the way that she always does...

You're still on the Surplus Diet?

Yeah. Of course. | can't bail on Chief.

You think he stuck with it off shift? He seemed ready to break, to me.

Uh-oh.

Chief! What?

Did you cheat on the diet off shift?

No. Did you?

| told you | wouldn't.

Well, | wanted to.

But | stuck with it anyway, because | knew that if | cheated,

! would have both you and Donna come at me.

And that is not the kind of support | am looking for from you!

Well, that's too bad, because if you're not quitting,

I'm not quitting!

What are you looking at?

| can't make two meals again.

Maybe we could convince them meatball subs have high fiber and no fat?

Maybe. Maybe they do. We don't Know for Sure.

We're not nutritionists!

No, were firefighters, damn it!

Keep in mind, if you try to serve seeds to the whole house,

we'll bury you under the app floor.

You know what? I'm doing it.

I'm putting ground beef and buns on the shopping list, come what may.

This is the bravest thing you've ever done.

SOFTLY Thank you.

Hey, gang. Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Everything okay?

Oh, yeah. All right.

| just wanted to talk to you, if you have a Sec...

Yeah. Of course. Come on.

| spent all morning going through our finances.

Yeah.

Crunched the numbers 100 different ways. Yeah.

| know you want to help Lily,

but there's no way to make that loan work without the family taking a real hit.

You know, back to the early days of Molly's,

and you remember how scary that was?

SIGHS

Okay then. All right. It is what it is.

| Know how much you wanted to help...

Yeah, that and a box of rocks is worth exactly the same thing.

I'm sorry, Christopher.

ALARM BUZZING

SILVIO GROANING

He was unloading bags of flour

Kidd, see if you can find the breaker for the dumbwaiter.

Where's the breaker box? Right over there.

Mouch, | need a four-foot strut and aram.

MOUCH: OVER RADIO Copy that, Captain.

BRETT: He has poor perfusion and he's hypoxic.

That was the fastest I've ever seen you drive, Kidd.

CHUCKLES

That one's double cheese.

Dig in.

If any of you go down from a heart attack, I'm not resuscitating!

That was uncalled for.

Chief, you would not believe what | just...

WRAPPER CRACKLES

Are you eating something?

VMimm-mmm.

Wallace Boden.

CLICKS TONGUE

Ritter says they're really high in fiber.

Chief...

| thought we were in this together.

Now, we're talkin’.

EXHALES DEEPLY

Okay, | have to ask, are we good?

What do you mean?

Didn't see you at the apartment off shift.

You just avoiding Kidd while she's on that psycho diet,

or do you and | need to talk about Our argument at the lake?

Talk?

Never mind.

Hey...

The cops have any luck locating the fiance?

No. They haven't found him in Denver, or anywhere else.

Gary Pavone is obviously an alias.

They try pulling prints off the car?

Water damage makes it harder, | guess.

Plus, he probably wiped it down.

Police mechanics found some sort of electronic device

connected to the fuel system, but they can't identify it.

Is it possible to rig a car like that,

so it can accelerate without a driver?

Well, late model Nissans have a fly-by-wire electronic throttle.

| suppose you could fit it with a receiver,

sO you Can operate it remotely.

Point the car towards the lake

and then just press a button.

Is this fake fiance any kind of tech whiz?

Supposedly, he's an aviation engineer,

but that's probably a lie, just like everything else.

Although, maybe there's a kernel of truth to it, and he's just

building himself up.

| mean, maybe he's just a guy who's into airplanes?

His profile picture is him holding what looks like a design prototype,

but what if it's just a toy?

Hi, my name's Matt Casey.

I'm a firefighter with the Chicago Fire Department.

| have a strange question for you.

MAN: Yeah, who is it?

Gary Pavone?

What?

Oh, no. No, no, no, no. What the hell?

Hey, there is a very simple explanation for this.

Yeah. The simple explanation is,

you're a scumbag.

Hey, that is not fair.

You're also a fraud.

Aviation engineer?

Turns out you're just a radio-controlled airplane nerd.

Denver was a lie, too.

You know, | realized,

Why would he travel a thousand miles

Just to fleece someone?

Probably spends so much time in Chicago because he lives here."

How did you find me?

There's only a handful of R.C. hobby shops in town.

Didn't take long to canvas them all with your photo.

Your regular shop.

Vinny's Planes-n- Trains? They ID'd you right away.

BOY: Dad?

GARY: Hey, bud.

Mom wants to know who's here.

Listen, bud, go back inside. Okay?

Okay? Go.

Unbelievable.

Look, I'm gonna pay back all that money.

| almost sent my best friend into a freezing lake

to save your ass!

No kidding, you'll give the money back.

But that's the least of it.

KEYPAD TAPPING

sergeant, this is Matt Casey.

| need to speak to Detective Halstead.

Here you go. It's on the house.

On the house? Yeah.

What's wrong, Herrmann?

Turns out | can't put up the money | promised you.

| thought | could rearrange some stuff,

but it doesn't add up. I'm sorry.

Rearrange?

We'll find a new space for the bakery, you know. Just as good.

Wait, you're still going to help me?

Of course. | just don't have the funds...

| don't care about the money, Herrmann!

| just... | need your support, and advice.

| can always find a cheaper space,

but from the way Brian talked,

| know I'll never find a better mentor.

Otis said that?

Yeah.

MUMBLES

Listen, Lily, um,

you are always gonna have my support, okay?

And you are always, and | mean always,

gonna be part of this 51 family. Okay?

Took me a little too long to realize that, but | think | finally get it.

Good.

Thanks, Herrmann.

Nah.

CHUCKLES

I'm looking forward to being able to have

a glass of wine again with dinner someday.

And I'm a rose girl, too...

Of course. Mmm.

There's a restaurant near my apartment that you would love,

maybe tomorrow night?

Actually, I'm headed back to Rockford in the morning.

Scott must be anxious to have you back.

The reason I'm headed back early...

oylvie, | have some news | wanted to share.

Okay.

For years, Scott has wanted to move to Chicago.

His company has an office in the city,

and he has a bunch of friends here,

and | have always rejected the idea.

| just... | didn't think there was anything here for me.

But now...

Well now, there's you.

You're moving to Chicago?

Yeah. That's what we're thinking.

But don't worry, we won't invade your space, or your life,

In any way that you don't want...

I'm not worried, Julie.

That sounds really nice.

BOTH CHUCKLE

So, we got steaks, mashed potatoes...

With extra butter. Mmm. Right, and broccoli.

Broccoli florets. Breaded and deep fried.

Yeah. Right.

DOOR OPENS

Oh!

You're back in time for the trillion-calorie meal!

Yeah! Ah.

50, was it the guy?

Oh, it was the guy,

and his family of four.

SCOFFS Ouch.

Thanks. Yeah.

| feel for Lisa, you know?

she was just looking to connect with someone.

I've been there. It's not always easy to find your people.

Nope.

So, what can | do to aid and abet this dinner?

Uh, chop the florets. You got it.
