Original subtitles

I'm just having contractions again.

Sounds like you're gonna have a baby.

You... you'll call Scott?

BRETT: Yes.

What's wrong?

I'm very sorry. She died on the table, Sylvie.

The baby's doing well. Would you like to see her?

SOBS

I'm all over the bachelor party,

so you can take that off your list.

Yeah!

A woman like her comes along once in a lifetime.

SEVERIDE: Sounds like you should marry her then.

You know, this best man thing, you know what you're doing.

STELLA: All right. Up and at 'em, cowboy.

GROANS

Oh, what? Did you have a long night?

‘Cause | think... | think

| remember your very smart girlfriend

suggesting it might be a bad idea to throw

the bachelor party the night before shift.

MUMBLES Leave me alone.

Fine.

Lock the doors when you get out.

EXHALES

BLAKE GALLO: Come on, Tuesday. Right here.

Come on. WHIMPERS

LAUGHTER

Told you to try peanut butter.

How... How do you guys got that much energy?

We should not have tried to keep pace with them last night.

You had three beers and then started dozing off.

lt was four.

Why, um...

Why are you trying to turn Tuesday into Cindy Crawford?

| need him for the 51 Insta. | need the perfect first post.

Look. Tons of houses

have them now. And they post everything

from fire safety tips to recipes.

They're a great community outreach. And...

people love seeing the day-to-day of a firehouse.

You sure you don't want me to call in a floater?

No. A shift is just what | need to keep the wedding nerves at bay.

You missed out last night.

Ah, well.

Boss needs to maintain a certain...

plausible deniability with these things.

LAUGHS

lt does look like...

everyone was having a good time.

CHUCKLES Oh, yeah. Oh, but not too good.

Chloe was worried I'd look puffy in the wedding photos,

so | drank a lot of water.

Ah, smart woman.

Donna, she set ours up right at the front entry.

First thing you see when you walk through the door.

You'll be looking at those photos for many, many years.

HERRMANN: Rest of your life.

Hey.

How was Rockford?

Really, um... sad.

|! mean, my parents came to the funeral, which was nice. And they met Scott.

It just doesn't feel real, somehow.

Yeah.

It must sound crazy.

lt doesn't.

CASEY: Hey!

Get away from those rigs!

LEWIS: Hurry, they're almost here.

CHAINS RAT TLING

We have to respond to an emergency!

Hey! Unlock him! Now!

This is a formal protest.

A what? People need help out there! We gotta go!

Are you kidding me? What is this?

Capp! Grab the bolt cutters! CAPP: Yeah? Got it.

What are you doing to our rigs?

This is a formal protest of the closing of Station 87.

8/7? Hey... We didn't close 87.

We're picking up the slack here. We're pissed, too.

Hey! Take those chains off, now.

We're not going anywhere.

HERRMANN: All right, you know what? That's it!

ocrew this. 51, moving out.

Hey, you better unlock your friend here before he gets ripped in half.

BODEN: Herrmann! Do not move that engine!

Battalion 25 to Main, we've got a situation here

and are unable to respond.

Request you redirect the call.

DISPATCHER: Copy that, Battalion 25. I'll reroute the call.

| can't get to the damn chain.

Hey! You're hurting me!

Severide. Stop.

Cruz, grab the whizzer saw. Yeah.

You happy now? Some other firehouse has to run to that call!

We gotta do something to get their attention.

They shut down our firehouse.

Now response times are doubled in our neighborhoods.

So, you're gonna punish some innocent victim who needs our help?

Chicago's ignored Our community long enough.

We're tired of being the last priority.

SO we're not going anywhere until we get our house back.

SIGHS

SAW WHIRRING Hey! No!

Cut those chains over there. Everyone else...

inside, now.

ALL: Yeah!

CROWD CHEERS AND WHISTLES

MAN: Come on! We're doing it, man! We're doing it!

HERRMANN: Our own house. Unbelievable.

Chief, what happened on that call?

Garage fire. 37 responded. It's under control.

Look, Headquarters is aware of our situation

and CPD is sending officers down, but until then,

no one goes on the app floor.

What? Do not engage.

| can get through PVC.

Leave it alone, Severide.

That's a powder keg out there. We can't have it blow up in our face.

MAN: Nah, | need backup.

But you gotta keep the chains on.

What are they doing now?

HERRMANN: Being morons. The same as before.

Just chained up, with the one guy recording it all.

MAN: We are not leaving.

This is really incredible.

Well, all this standing around is driving me crazy.

So, I'm gonna go look through

some Girls on Fire applications.

You wanna read some essays with me?

Yeah, sure. Okay.

CELL PHONE VIBRATES Oh.

Hello?

GROANS

CELL PHONE BEEPS Spam?

Yeah. A robocall offering to refinance my home.

Hmm.

| was hoping it was Scott.

He doesn't have a lot of family, So I've left a few voicemails,

wanted him to know that I'm here if he needs anything.

Help with the apartment or someone to watch the baby.

Maybe I'm being too pushy.

That's really sweet of you.

I'm sure he appreciates it. Even if he doesn't respond right away.

VMimm.

Come on.

RITTER: Hey, uh, got a second, Chief?

Hey, we were thinking...

since we have the Instagram up and running...

| already don't like this.

These protesters wanna know they're being heard.

SO maybe we put out a statement, let 'em know

that 51 is behind the community.

Absolutely not.

We thought that if their issue just got a little more attention...

The last thing this thing needs

is more attention.

Phones stay in pockets until the end of shift.

WHIRRING

That's pretty good. We barely made it through.

What is this?

Trying to figure out how to safely remove the PVC pipe.

| just want to be ready, in case CPD needs the assist.

Yeah, we figure if we can score it, get most of the way through,

| can just wedge my Slamigan in there-- crack it like an egg.

Okay, keep working on it.

But only get involved if the police request it.

CPD should be here any minute.

Casey, Herrmann.

WHIRRING

LEWIS: Look, police aren't going to fix this, Chief.

If you want us to leave, all you gotta do is reopen our firehouse.

It's Just the two of you?

They said half a dozen protesters.

There's plenty of room in those back seats.

They're not going to go willingly.

Don't be so sure, Chief.

These small-time activists sort themselves out when you flash a badge.

Have at it, then.

That's your ringleader.

Okay, sir, here's what we're looking at.

Trespassing, disorderly conduct,

multiple counts of obstructing a firefighter.

| figure bail ought to be in the neighborhood of 25 grand.

Like | told the firefighters.

We're not movin’.

All right then. The hard way it is.

Can you guys get these chains off without hurting him too bad?

We have an idea. I'll get Severide.

Yeah.

MAN: What do we want? ALL: Justice!

When do we want it? ALL: Now!

What do we want? ALL: Justice!

When do we want it? ALL: Now!

MAN: What do we want? ALL: Justice!

MAN: When do we want it? ALL: Now!

Hey, Lewis, we saw your tweets. Thought you could use some more bodies.

Yes, sir. We sure could.

Hey, folks, | need you to move back to the sidewalk.

Whoa, don't touch me!

Have they used force? Protesters have rights, you know.

They've threatened arrest!

Arrest? What are you gonna do, arrest all of us?

Spicer to Main, roll more cars to Firehouse 51.

Advise the sector sergeant we've got

an on-view disturbance with active protesters.

Come on, everybody.

CASEY: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! Stop right there.

I've got enough trouble in my firehouse right now.

Your firehouse? No, man.

This is our firehouse now.

ALL CLAMORING

PROTESTER: Hey!

Make yourselves at home, people. We could be here for a while.

smells good.

Hey, no. Don't even think about it.

You could put your coat back on. You're not staying.

What is going on?

This is not happening.

You gotta take this circus outside, pal.

No can do. This is an active firehouse.

And this is a show of solidarity.

We're here in support of those brave people out there.

And we're not leaving 'til the CFD gives them what they want.

ALL: Yeah!

You need to walk out of here right now or I'm gonna carry you out.

Oh, are you threatening me?

We're not hurting anybody. We're not breaking anything.

This is a peaceful protest.

Man, get that out of my face.

CROWD GASPING BODEN: Severide!

Casey, Herrmann. My office. Now.

We've got a bunch more vests on the way.

All right, we're gonna set up a line at the front access point.

No one else is gonna get in here.

Are you gonna drag these pinheads out of our common room?

Headquarters wants minimal police involvement, and | agree.

There was a similar demonstration last year in Detroit.

And that got violent, people got hurt.

The department got a mountain of bad press.

What are we supposed to do? Wait for them to get bored?

There are people from Headquarters coming to talk to those protesters.

Keyword until then... De-escalation.

Leave no room for confrontation. Is that understood?

OFFICER ON RADIO: Backup is here.

Let's go.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

This is minimal police involvement?

They outnumbered us. It calls for a proportional response.

This is embarrassing.

It's infuriating.

Herrmann...

Yeah? Shut it down.

You got it, Chief.

SHUTTERS CREAKING

You kicked up quite a fuss, friend.

| hope you're pleased with yourself.

I'm doing this for my children.

You got kids?

Only five.

So, you know then.

You'd do anything to keep them safe.

| have four.

If something happens to one of mine,

an ambulance has to come an extra mile or two to get there.

Would you accept that?

You're standing up for something, taking action.

| can respect that.

I've done it myself a few times.

But...

The people in this house, they run into burning buildings

every day for this community.

We don't want to see a station closed either.

You think that this is the best way to get what you want?

STAMMERS

First we tried calling the CFD's main line.

Uh-huh.

Must've left 80 messages. Not one of us got a call back.

So, we showed up in person. Hmm.

Got turned away.

Then we went to the papers.

They said our story was too, uh...

What's the word...

Bureaucratic.

Not sexy enough.

It's easy to disagree with the method when the problem isn't yours.

SO, lemme ask you...

When you took action,

how'd you get them to hear you?

| lita sofa on fire.

Yeah.

This isn't perfect,

but sometimes you gotta light things up.

And if it means keeping my family

and my neighborhood safe,

I'm willing to burn a few couches.

STELLA: Chief?

Chief.

| just... | thought you might wanna see this.

SEVERIDE: You can walk out of here right now or I'm gonna carry you out.

PROTESTER: Are you threatening me?

We're not hurting anybody. We're not breaking anything.

This is a peaceful protest. EXHALES

Man, get that out of my face. CROWD GASPING

GROANS

This is out in the world?

Couple of people shared it with me.

It's already Starting to circulate.

Look.

If this is the kinda stuff the protesters are putting out there,

then maybe we should show them our side.

| thought Headquarters was going to send Huffhines, or someone else from PR.

But they sent Chief Carver.

GRUNTS

Yeah. This just gets worse and worse.

As | have said, the official statement

of the CFD... PROTESTER: To hell with your statement!

ALL: Yeah! We want action!

If you would just shut up and listen...

Did he just tell me to shut up?

I'm telling you, the decision to close House 87

was not made by the CFD.

Right. But you went along with it!

Why don't we let the man talk?

This is a budgeting decision at the highest levels.

Your beef is with city hall.

You should take your complaints to them.

Passing the buck! Right!

ALL MURMUR IN AGREEMENT

With all due respect, Chief...

You're not getting rid of us this easy. This is where we're gonna make our stand.

We're not going to city hall. City hall's coming to us!

CROWD: Yeah!

I'm not debating anymore. We need this firehouse back in service.

Do what you have to do.

lll call my lieutenant. Get a couple of TAC teams in riot gear.

Riot gear?

Chief, can we just take a minute.

I'm not the one who let these thugs in here, Boden.

But I'll sure as hell get ‘em out.

Can | try one thing first?

The house that got closed, that was the 12th ward, right? Mmm-hmm.

| Know their alderman. | worked with him.

If you give me half an hour, maybe | can get him down here.

He made the call to close the house,

so he's the one who can make this right.

You've got 15 minutes before | bring in force.

Get moving before this whole thing goes to hell.

CROWD MURMURING

Where's he going?

Y'all got your phones on you?

Don't worry, Chief, we didn't post anything.

No, no, no. Actually...

If you think that

we can use social media to

defuse this situation, I'm willing to give it a shot.

We'll be really careful.

Nothing that makes us look bad.

No, that's what they're doing.

We should show

there are no sides to this.

That, basically, we all want the same thing.

You got it.

Okay. Dismissed. Get out of here.

IMPERCEPTIBLE CHATTER

HERRMANN SIGHS DEEPLY

You all right?

Torn.

| Know what you mean.

It's one thing to read about these things and fire off a know-it-all screed

in the comments section of some website.

but it's different when it's on doorstep.

Some of them are here for a cause they believe in.

The problem is the ones who just get off on making trouble,

they're the loudest.

Isn't that always the way?

I'm happy for Kidd. All these Girls on Fire applications coming in.

And it's a distraction from that insanity out there.

You thought about maybe taking a furlough?

some down-time, take care of yourself?

| don't know. I'm not sure being alone is the best thing for me right now.

You're not alone, girl.

No matter where you go.

Is one of you Sylvie Brett?

That's me.

There's a guy out front who says he's not part of the protest.

He keeps yelling about how he has to talk to you.

Hmm.

Scott!

Sylvie! You see? That's her. | told you!

Please let him through. I'm not supposed to let--

Let him through.

IMPERCEPTIBLE CHATTER

Is... ls something wrong? Is the baby okay?

she's doing well.

The hospital is releasing her in three days.

Well, what's going on, Scott?

As soon as they told me she was ready to go home, | knew...

| can't take care of that little girl.

| need you to take her.

You've been through so much. | understand how overwhelmed you must be.

| can't do it.

l-- |never wanted a child.

lt was a shock for both of us.

This wasn't how it was supposed to be.

No, it wasn't, but that doesn't mean you can't handle it.

You don't know me.

| can't raise a child on my own. | don't want to.

The last few weeks, Julie was always talking

about how much you and she were alike.

That means you'll know how to take care of this baby,

how to love her, the way Julie would have. The way she deserves.

scott, that baby is your daughter.

| can't do it. And if you won't,

the only other option is to give her up.

| need to see Alderman Rivas on urgent CFD business.

Matt Casey.

Hi, Alderman Rivas, there's a fireman here to see you, Matt Casey?

Okay, I'll let him know.

The alderman is going to be tied up for some time.

If you want to leave a message, l...

Matt Casey. What's on fire this time?

Your whole ward.

Do you know what's happening at my house right now?

Why did you shut down Firehouse 87?

| didn't shut anything down.

That was a mutual decision between the mayor's office and the 12th ward.

And what did you get out of the deal?

You know that's not fair.

You know I'm trying to accomplish a lot of things here,

and we had to find the money somewhere.

I've got a retail development underway, green initiatives...

Daniel, | need you to talk to these people.

That sounds like an issue between the protesters and the CFD.

Alderman, we did good work together back in the day.

|! know youre an honest public servant.

| also know you're allergic to bad press.

Which is exactly what you're going to get if | start talking to reporters.

Hey. Hey...

Hey! Okay if we ask you some questions?

We're interested in your perspective.

Have at it, boys. I've got plenty to say.

Okay, first question. How has the closure of Firehouse 87 affected you personally?

So, because I'm not from that neighborhood,

I'm not allowed to speak out on the issues?

No, that's not...

We didn't know you weren't from that neighborhood.

I'm here fighting on behalf of the downtrodden and the disenfranchised.

You should try that sometime.

Well, we do try to help people.

That's kind of our whole thing, as firefighters.

Right, like you're not in it for the union paycheck.

All that dough just to sit around and watch TV all day.

Actually, I'm here because | was inspired by my uncle, who was a lieutenant at...

Nepotism. What a shock.

That's why | got turned down by the fire academy.

| didn't have a daddy or an uncle in the CFD.

No, see, that doesn't make any sense.

It's a blind lottery, actually, so it wouldn't matter if you...

That could've gone better.

LOCKER CLANGS

GRUNTS

Hey.

You okay?

Wedding jitters?

| just looked out on the apron,

and there's this idiot behind the barricades

climbing all over Otis's memorial, like he's trying to get a better view.

That's not right.

You say anything? EXHALES

I'm following Boden’s orders. Don't engage.

INHALES DEEPLY It's for the best.

Otis would not want you raising hell on his account.

And he agreed to come speak with the protesters.

That's good news. Where is he?

said he had a couple phone calls to make first, but he'll be here.

CROWD TALKING INDISTINCTLY

sorry. | just needed to be somewhere quiet.

EXHALES Scott came by.

He wants me to take the baby.

What?

| mean, | know that | offered to help, but | didn't expect...

| mean, that's crazy.

| can't take care of a baby right now.

There's no way that that's what he actually wants, you know?

He's just panicking, right?

That would be my guess.

But | don't really know him.

SCOFFS

Neither do |.

| mean, | barely knew Julie.

SOBBING

Except that | did.

| mean, | Knew her as well as I've ever Known anyone.

And | miss her already, so much...

I'm sorry, Sylvie.

Hey...

Whatever you decide...

I'm here.

Okay?

Captain, um, the alderman's here.

First off, engaging with citizens like you

is what makes local government so exciting,

so | want to thank you for your passion on this issue.

Tell us what you are gonna do about it. CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY

Please, please understand, | was told that the closure of 87

would have no delay on emergency response times.

But it has.

And all of those firefighters have transitioned to other houses,

so there's been no loss of jobs.

You're dodging the question.

Rest assured, the decision to close the house

was well researched and we did everything--

Just give them their firehouse back!

ALL: Yeah! WOMAN: Just give it back!

Okay, come on, let's let the alderman talk.

Of course, we cannot accept slow response times.

! will commission a study to see how we might improve the situation--

You can improve it by reopening the firehouse!

If we had an unlimited budget, we would reopen the house.

But there are other programs vying for those same funds.

Yeah. Like, your retail developments?

GROANS

Hey, hey. You okay?

We're scared for our families, our kids...

Brett! Foster! Get in there!

HERRMANN: Hey, watch out! Move! Move!

BODEN: Back up. Give them some space.

Well, when you weren't at the apartment, | figured.

Julie should be here to see her.

It's not right.

No. It's not.

If you let someone else raise that baby,

she might have a great childhood. | did.

But you will always wonder, "What if?"

|! Know Julie did, and so will she.

COOS

| can't give that child what she deserves.

She deserves a father who loves her.

The kind that show up and pace outside her hospital bed,

worrying over her, wanting what's best for her.

The kind who can teach her who her mother was.

Answer all those questions | had my whole life.

How did she laugh, what movies did she love, what made her happy.

That's what'll keep Julie here with you.

And with that little girl.

You can't let her go, Scott.

she needs you.

WEDDING MARCH PLAYING

I'm so sorry.

MOUTHING | love you.

We gather today at the Firefighter's Church.

As one of only a handful of structures

that withstood the Great Chicago Fire of 1871,

it was a shelter for survivors

and a light of joy in the midst of tragedy.

| pray that your marriage grows to be like this church.

A safe house on your best and worst days.

A place of love and warmth.

And a best friend to call home.

| do.

| do.

You may now kiss the bride.
