We're trapped.

How's Van Meter?

He made it through the first few hours.

He's touch and go.

The CFD wants to decommission Engine 51
and let me go.

We're not going to throw in that towel
yet.

Not a chance.

Isaiah has a Zoom with a doctor who's in
charge of Sean's care.

How are we going to make it? He didn't
answer.

He's just so concerned with the case.

Whoever set the fire at the school
wanted to finish what they started.

We also caught you on camera while you
were setting fire to Cole's place.

At that time, you put my friend in the
hospital.

I know what you did!

You're off the case.

They want to bench me?

I'm going to make them pay.

What time is it?

It's just after 3 a .m.

I'm looking for the employment division.

Sorry, they're closed.

Ah.

What time do they open?

No, they're closed.

The department's been furloughed because
of budget cuts.

Indefinitely? That's all I know.

There's a storage area where we put the
mail. Do you want me to put that in

there? No, no, this is my... It's an
appeal to keep my job. I was told to get

in this week if I wanted any chance.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks.

The guy didn't pick up a single weight
the entire time I was on the treadmill.

He was just pacing around the gym in one
of those v -neck tank tops, staring at

himself in the mirror, and talking on
the phone at full volume like he was

big shot stockbroker. Oh, and you know
there was no one on the other end of

call. Yeah, totally.

People are the worst.

Hey, Vasquez.

Is that your new car?

Yeah, I wish.

It's a rental.

I had to find something quick, and that
charger was all they had.

It's cool, but, you know, it's costing
me an arm and a leg, so I gotta get car

shopping ASAP before I go broke.

Well, your new car has some mighty big
tires to fill, because that Skylark was

pretty badass.

Yeah, well... How's your dad doing
anyway?

I'm sure re -entry is a little
challenging.

Well, I do.

We don't keep in touch.

Catch you guys inside.

I really appreciate that, Doctor.

Yes, I will be in touch soon.

Great. Thank you.

Yes. Bye -bye. Hey, that was Dr. Shreve.

Shauna just emerged from her coma last
night. Wow. Really?

Mm -hmm. She's oriented, aware.

She's not talking, but she's
communicating. That's great news. I

he said that she's got months ahead of
recovery before she'll be independent

can care for Isaiah, but no, the news
he's been dreaming of.

Are you going to call them?

I want to tell them in person. So I
figured I'd have them stop by the

after school.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll keep you posted. Yeah.

Damn it, compact got shot halfway across
now. Check on the SUV driver. Vasquez,

you're with me. Got it.

Folks, clear out. Clear out. Let it
work. Check the passenger door. You got

Hey, Van, can you hear me?

Okay, hang tight.

We're going to get you out of here, all
right?

Hey, passenger door's jammed. All right,
grab the jaws. The air vac didn't

deploy, so we got to disconnect the
battery before we go in. Stop.

Get you out of here, okay?

Okay. Can you call her?

Yeah. Thank you.

All right, miss.

I'm just going to wrap this around your
neck, okay? It's not going to hurt.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it. Hey.

That's it.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey.

Take it easy.

I'm all right, okay? Just knock the wood
out of me. That's all. Hey, I'm sure

you're okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm okay.
How's she? She okay? She's gonna be

fine. Listen, Herman and I got her, all
right? Will you check him out and make

things okay?

Novak, you're with us.

Ballard! Come on, right here. Let's go!

Copy, Lieutenant.

All right, Vasquez, you're not getting
out of this. No, I am not, really.

Okay, now look at me.

Any blurriness?

Double vision? No.

Are you in the air, headache?

Oh.

All right. A little obvious I have a
concussion, but I'm keeping my eye on

I don't get it.

We cut the power to that thing before I
got in the car.

Shouldn't that have disconnected the
airbag?

Yeah, it should have.

Back, guys.

How about I take another look at you
when they get back? I'm fine,

For real. I am not asking.

I still don't get how the airbag could
have blown like that. I mean, even after

we cut the juice.

It happens sometimes.

The backup capacitor holds the charge
longer than it's supposed to. We go to

the door, and then boom.

Yeah, no, that makes sense. We're
messing with the frame of the vehicle,

mean, I would... Maybe you just nicked
the airbag wiring with the seatbelt

cutter. Sure. I didn't.

I know my way around cars.

It's just something different.

Okay. Well, then maybe it's just, you
know, one of those freak things.

Which is why we need to be extra careful
in situations like that.

Yeah.

Lieutenant Kidd, can I have a word?

I was asked to keep this under wraps.

Time to lift the curtain.

Engine 51 is on a short list. The rig's
being decommissioned. What?

But what can we do?

Well, I just learned that the mandate
didn't come from the CFD. It came from

City Hall.

And as we've learned in the past, the
best weapon in a fight with politicos is

public opinion.

Media sources.

Yeah.

So get with your union, pal.

Have them contact the press. Let the
public know that a 30 -year veteran in

life -saving rig are the next victims
from the budget cuts from above.

Idea being put a face to the pain.

Exactly.

Chief, what'll happen to your friend in
the mayor's office if this gets out?

Don't worry about that.

All bets are off.

You eat yet?

Hey.

Got a club and a BLT.

One of them's got your name on it.

Figured you wouldn't have picked up a
shift with squad four.

Nah, I got more important things to do.
Like make sure my lieutenant doesn't

starve to death.

I'll eat whatever you don't want.

Any improvement?

Oxygen levels are better today.

That's something.

Actually, did you get your eyes on
something?

First two photos, those burn patterns,
they look uniform to you?

Not really.

That's what I thought.

Is this the coal fire?

Kids said you were closing in on the
suspect.

Yeah, I was.

They fooled me off the case.

What if they thought that was going to
stop you? They don't know you too well.

They're looking back at the first fire
at the school, thinking the tech used

the timing device is going to give them
something, but they're wrong.

So what's about the second fire, Coles?
The first was premeditated.

We thought out. The second, it's a crime
of passion.

Kind of where mistakes are made.

And maybe there's something back at the
scene, something we missed.

That was my next stop.

Then we'll take this to go, then.

What are the rules on eating in your
car?

Cruz, you won't got to come with us.

Please. I'm the brace of this whole
operation. You need me.

What are we waiting for?

You see, at Halligan, it's your best pal
when you gotta open up a door that's

locked or jammed, whatever.

Cool.

Oh, hey, Stella.

Hey. Hey, this kid is practically a full
-fledged truckie now.

Trust me, I have got plans for him. Oh,
yeah? Oh, yeah.

I hate to interrupt the lesson, but
gotta grab him for a sec.

All right, fine.

Ruin the rest of my day.

Go on.

Here's what I don't understand.

This guy, he lit up the back and the
front stairs, right?

You have to set fire to the back, then
run all the way to the front to set the

other one.

That's generally the idea, yeah.

Well, how long do you think it takes to
get from the back to the front?

This building's, what, 50 feet long, so
10, 15 seconds maybe?

Well, you know how fast gasoline lights
up.

If they were all this small, there would
have been a fireball like that.

So how does this guy manage to find the
time to set fire to both stairs before

getting noticed?

That's a good point, Cruz.

You don't have to act so surprised.

Check this out, Cruz.

Gas doesn't stay through like that.
Nope.

That's oil.

Kerosene, maybe.

That would burn a lot slower than gas.

My guess is he used a slurry.

Three parts oil, one part gasoline.

And because the oil is less volatile at
first, it'd give him time to wipe those

stairwells and get the hell out of here
before anyone noticed.

Clever.

Which also makes me think he's done this
before.

PD wants proof.

I think that's where we're going to find
it.

Don't tell me you're going to replace a
vintage Detroit muscle car with this tin

can, because honestly, you might as well
get a fast bar.

No. No, it's from my MBA this morning.
I'm trying to figure out what went wrong

with this airbag.

And? This thing isn't helping.

What? I did figure out where they towed
the car.

If I can get close to the airbag, I bet
you I can figure out what happened.

Problem is, I doubt they'll let me close
to the thing until after the accident

investigation's been done, which, you
know, could be a while.

Is it the tow yard on Ashland, by any
chance?

Yeah, why?

Uh, we know the guy who runs the place.
Yeah, he helped us get a little girl's

doll after a car accident last year.

Any chance you guys would be down to go
with me after work?

See if we can talk our way in? Yeah, I'm
down.

Let's go.

Oh, actually, I have this kendo class.

Some, you know, Japanese kick fighting.

Japanese kick fighting? Yeah, I've been
trying to get in with this instructor

for months. But you guys, let me know
what you find out.

Harry, thanks for stopping by on such
short notice.

Of course.

I want to talk about protocol going
forward now that Shauna is awake.

I am taking Isaiah to Cleveland
tomorrow.

What?

Is that not okay for some reason? No,
no, no. It's not that.

I actually have an update for you.

About Shauna's condition?

No, no, no. She's doing very well. Good.
Okay, but through a facilitator.

She contacted a friend, okay, a woman
Isaiah's known as a young boy.

Shana wants this woman, her name is
Lydia Givens, to care for Isaiah until

can do so herself.

What?

But we are his foster parents.

Well, Shana just hasn't met us yet. So
once she does, she'll see what great

we're taking of him. And I've been told
she's very aware of that.

and is extremely grateful.

Now, the issue is that Ms. Givens has
already agreed to move to Cleveland so

that Isaiah can be near his mom as she
continues to recover.

But what about Isaiah?

Isn't what he wants important?

Yes, it's very important to Shauna, to
all of us.

Now, if you're okay with it, I'd like to
bring Lydia over tomorrow.

So Isaiah can see her and they can have
a conversation about all of this.

And no decisions will be made until
then.

Okay.

Yes.

Of course.

Right, right.

No more gag order.

Release the hounds on the press.

You want us to attack the press?

No. I want you to tell every media
outlet you know what's going on.

He's not wrong. The expression, release
the hounds, does mean... The point is

that we can get you all the details that
you want on the termination threat.

This guy, despite the pretty mug, is the
ultimate hard -working smoke eater. He

has been taking care of this city for
decades.

He just got his bugles to boot. I know.

We'll do the best we can, but I don't
know if this is going to work.

Is the public even listening to these
firings and layoff stories anymore?

Or has everyone just gone numb?

Tomorrow. Yeah.

And I knew that things were going to
move fast when Shauna woke up, but not

today.

All right, let's...

Let's not get crazy over this just yet.
We don't even know if Isaiah remembers

this woman. And if he doesn't or doesn't
want to go with her, I doubt that

Shauna's going to make a push for it.

Yeah.

I think that's true.

And we can promise Shauna that we will
get Isaiah to Cleveland regularly,

Whenever we're not on shift?

Of course.

OK.

What's up?

Oh, if I pull the files I asked for.

It's all the cases that have similar
MOs, ignition source.

Cruz is going to help me go through
them.

You need help?

No, I think you're good for now, but
thanks.

And, hey, Stella, we'll figure this out.

What time does that kendo class start,
anyway?

Two o 'clock.

But, um, I have to get a couple of hours
of rest beforehand, otherwise I'm going

to get my ass kicked.

Sensei Mizoraki does not mess around.

Hmm.

What, why?

Uh, nothing. It's just, um... I thought
I was catching some sort of

vibe when we were talking about Asuka's.

Does it... It doesn't bother you, right,
that I'm going to the toy yard with

him?

What? No.

No, why would that bother me? Just, you
know, if you...

Feeling for him or something?

No, I don't.

No, I mean, okay, do I think he's nice
to look at? I am a straight female, so

yes, I do. But no, no, it is not like
that at all.

Okay, wait, why?

Do you have feelings for him? No, no,
absolutely not.

I've had enough drama in the firehouse
for an entire lifetime.

Never again.

He probably has a girlfriend anyway.

What the hell do we know? Yeah, you're
totally right. We don't know anything.

I am sorry I didn't get that shift
report done. I will have it to you by

day. That is a promise. I just got to
get home and handle this Isaiah

Understood.

Well, hopefully by then we'll get some
kind of bite from the press. I mean, you

heard any rumblings much? Not a thing.
And Ellis put out word to all the

contacts he has.

Nothing from the mayor's office either,
which means the net hasn't caught wind

of our efforts yet.

Fiscal quarter's over in two days.

All those personnel decisions, they'll
be done by then.

My fate will be sealed soon enough, one
way or the other.

Okay, here's one.

Staircase fire, combo accelerant of
gasoline, and alifactate?

Aliphatic hydrocarbon?

This paint thinner is probably not our
guy.

I really appreciate you helping out
here, Cruz.

Oh, don't mention it.

Chloe's always saying I gotta read more
anyway.

You know, you can't help but wonder how
many arsons could be prevented if these

people just had a hobby.

Pathology's usually a little bit more
complicated than that. I mean, I'm just

saying, you know, go fishing every once
in a while, then maybe burning down

something won't be as important anymore.

Whoa, Kelly.

What? Uh, I got an unsolved arson case
here from 2005.

Same M .O., combo slurry of gasoline and
kerosene.

What if I run any leads on it?

They did.

And look who's on the suspect list.

Seymour's done this before. That file
proves it.

I'm not supposed to be working on this.

But frankly, I shouldn't even be talking
to you.

Twenty years ago, he set a fire using
the exact same cellar as the coal fire.

Target, his girlfriend's house.

Right after she broke up with him.
That's a pattern.

He retaliates when he feels wronged.

Why wasn't he charged before?

He had an alibi.

The ex -girlfriend.

Wait a minute.

This alibi was the girlfriend whose
house just burnt down?

Yeah. Okay.

Well, maybe that's a pattern as well.

Because I got this feeling whenever I
interviewed Sheila Moore about Kevin's

alibi for the coal fire, man, she did
not seem happy.

You're thinking we could flip Sheila
Moore.

You should know I went at her pretty
hard. She didn't break.

Now we got an ace up our sleeve.

The ex -girlfriend.

From 20 years ago. I'm not looking to
reopen the case. I say we take Gina to

meet Sheila Moore.

Once the ex -wife meets the ex
-girlfriend, I say Sheila has a change

Thanks again for doing this. Yeah. Not
sure that guy would have let me in on my

own. Yeah, Gomes was born surly.

So, what's your plan exactly?

I'm going to start with the passenger
side airbag first, see if that can give

any insight into what might have caused
the faulty deployment.

Uh -huh.

Hey, can you give me a hand, actually?
Yeah, sure. Where do you want me?

Driver's side.

All right.

If you can just hold this while I undo
the screws, that'd be great. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

Maybe use both hands, actually? Mm -hmm.
We'll do Vasquez.

Okay.

Just two more screws, I promise.

Fine.

Okay.

You can just set that down anywhere.

Yeah, you got it.

Did your dad teach you about cars?

Not exactly.

I mean, my dad's a huge gearhead, but,
you know, the garage is always his

I guess it did rub off on me anyway.

Yeah, I can tell.

Okay.

Got it.

All right.

Okay, this is weird.

What? This is supposed to be neoprene
-coated nylon, but this is... I mean, I

wouldn't buy a backpack made out of
whatever material this is.

Yeah. This thing's all jagged, too.

Yeah.

This airbag is a counterfeit.

Shady repair shops, they sometimes
install these cheap knockoffs, you know,

figuring nobody will know the
difference.

Until someone gets in an accident.
Exactly.

These things can actually cause more
damage than the actual crash.

I read an article about a counterfeit
airbag blasting shrapnel on a driver.

Killed him. Instantly.

Damn. Yeah.

We need to figure out where these came
from.

Hey, I don't know about you, but
whenever I get working on my car, all

receipts end up in the same place.

How much do you want to bet the name of
that shady body shop is in one of these?

I'm glad you liked her when you were
little. That's good.

Yeah, but...

It's been a long time.

I don't know how it's going to feel to
see her now.

You want to wait here?

Okay. You got it.

Hi, Stella.

Hi. Hi, Lydia. It's good to meet you.

Same.

But I know this is... Oh, my God.

Izzy.

Look at you. So big.

Look at this handsome young man.

And this hair.

Do you remember falling asleep chewing
gum, Izzy? And you woke up with it stuck

in all these curls?

Yeah, I remember.

Took us an hour to cut it all out. I had
a bald patch.

I am so happy to see you, Izzy.

Hey.

We found the links. I think we've got
more.

We're meeting Gerard in an hour, the
21st. Izzy's leaving.

What do you mean?

When?

Tonight.

How did this happen?

Well, as soon as he saw Lydia, it was
like he was eight years old.

So the bond there is deep.

I thought you told Terry we could take
Isaiah to Cleveland every week.

Hey, this isn't on me.

Look, you weren't here. You didn't see
what I saw.

There's nothing that I could have done
to stop them.

I wasn't here because I was working.

You think I should have shelved the
arson investigation? No, I didn't say

I am as invested as you are in catching
this guy because you could have died in

that fire.

But everything that I am doing here, I'm
doing it alone.

When is she picking him up?

The plan is fixed.

So you and Gerard...

Can impact.

I'm just here for the peace and quiet
and the free beer. Ah, Trudy kicked you

out, huh? Nah, I was driving it crazy.

Refreshing the news every few seconds to
see if any outlets picked up the story.

Nothing.

You know, it's...

Unbelievable. Nobody cares about, you
know, us old -timer firefighters

How did we get to that? In China, they
care about their elders.

Maybe we should move there.

Maybe we should.

Do you think they respect their elders
in the Caribbean?

It's probably Trudy.

I'll make her sweat a little.

The front page of the Chicago Telegraph.

City Hall turns its back on lifelong
first responder.

Wow.

This is it, Mouchy.

You think it'll be enough to save Engine
51?

I don't know.

But I'll tell you, it is a great place
to start.

You didn't tell me he was going to be
here.

And you asked me to come down here
again? Fine.

But I'm not trying to get jumped when
I'm trying to help.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about him.

I think you have bigger things to worry
about.

What's this?

A written statement from your ex -wife,
Sheila Moore.

She recanted your alibi. Said she didn't
want to lie to us, but that apparently

you threatened her.

Unbelievable.

Look, the divorce, it's messy.

She's pissed she's not getting the
house, so she's trying to get back at

Well, the judge seemed to buy her story.

Because he signed a warrant allowing us
to seize your phone.

Am I under arrest?

Oh, no.

You're free to go.

We just thought we'd bring you back down
here, give you a chance to confess.

Sometimes judges can be a little more
lenient whenever people do.

Then again...

He did try to kill a decorated fire
captain.

So I wouldn't kill him.

I'm not saying another word without a
lawyer.

All right, bring him in.

I said I'm done talking. They're not
here for you.

They're here to take a statement from
your ex -girlfriend.

Gina Kerr.

And yeah, we know about that fire too.

And that's going to be bad for you
because this testimony is going to be

valuable for the state's attorney.

Come on, Mr. Moore.

Go wait for your attorney in the
bullpen.

Now everyone is going to know what you
did.

All you had was a duffel and a backpack
when you got here, and now you're a

hoarder. It's all the shoes you made me
buy.

You've turned into a real diva.

Watch out. Well, I'm all about the gold
toilet.

We'll be fine.

Yeah, I figured Kelly wasn't going to
make it.

But, hey, I mean, the police can't close
the case without him. He's going to be

really sad that he missed this, but
we're going to visit really soon.

And, like...

A lot.

I mean, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
is in Cleveland. How could you stay

You can't.

Did you catch the guy?

Yeah, we did.

This guy sucks at night crawl.

But nobody knows fire like Kelly.

Thanks for coming back.

See you soon, bud.

See you soon, Kelly.

Shawna kept writing things down.

for me to tell you than scratching them
out.

There aren't words for what you guys did
for her, boy.

For her.

She doesn't need to thank us.

We loved every minute of it.

I'll tell her that.

I'm glad you were here.

Yeah, me too.

I told Pascal that I would give him my
shift report by the end of the day, so

I've got to go back to the firehouse.

Yeah.

It's right there in black and white.

Those counterfeit airbags were
definitely installed here. I don't

this could have happened. I mean, I
sourced those airbags from one of my

suppliers. I never would have bought
them if I had any kind of suspicion.

we're not here to debate your due
diligence procedures.

We just need you to track down every
single car that you install those in

one of them kills someone. Yeah, of
course.

I mean, I'll do what I can.

You can see I don't exactly have a huge
operation here, so I'm struggling to

keep my head above water.

What does that mean?

I'm just saying, a recall's a little
complicated, so it's not going to happen

overnight. But, I mean, I'll get it
done.

We could just come back with an
inspector from the Consumer Protection

Yeah, just put your glorified little
chop shop here out of business, and you

bet your ass it'll happen overnight.

Or you can just choose to do the right
thing and start fixing your mistake now.

Look, I got a cousin who helps me out
with paperwork. I'll get her down here

tomorrow, first thing, and we'll start
making some calls.

Is that good enough?

No.

I'm going to need the name of your
supplier so we can contact the NHTSA and

those airbags off the market for good.

No.

Damn. He left that guy trembling in his
boots. Damn, that's about bad for him.

It's hard to predict when the intercom
will come out.

Huh.

Hope I didn't freak you out.

No. Not at all.

Maybe even the opposite.

Oh, yeah?

Uh, meet you at Molly's?

I gotta go home.

We'll be some other time.

Good night, buddy.

Good night.

They still let you go. Not after this
article. Let's hope.

Hey, Chief.

You hear anything from your pal at Shady
Isle?

Not a word.

How's Severide doing?

Any arrests given? Any kind of peace of
mind?

Yeah, some.

But peace of mind for Severide isn't
going to come until Van Meter shows

of recovery.

Here. Cash.

Mom's job is safe.

Oh! Ow!

All right, that's great. Why do you
sound like you're delivering a eulogy?

Being transferred to 40 permanently.

Starting next shift.

They can't do that.

Unfortunately, they can.

Decision's final. It's either that or
forced retirement.

Damn.

I gotta warn you.

Sounds to me like Firehouse 51 is a
serious enemy down at City Hall.

Goodbye.

Excuse me?

I said goodnight.
